ported the plaza proposal, stating that while Waterloo had twentyfive percent of the population of thiS area, it only accounted for fifteen percent of the total sales in the Kitchener-Waterloo area. This plaza he argued is needed in order to increase that sales percentage. The plaza project itself consists of three phtises of deyelopment. Tlie first phase would include 300,000 square feet of leasable floor space, with 30,000 square feet of pub.lic area and a further 10,000 square feet of peripheral area. A car dealership and gas bar would occupy this area. The main mall would eventually include two department stores and about 130 mall stores. Phase two would add an additional 200,000 square feet of leasable area and would be completed in five to seven years after phase one ,is completed. Phase three would then ,add

_ Changes in the OSAP

Taking full advantage of the summer holidays, the Ontario Ministry -of Colleges and Universities (MCU > has recently launched a subtle offensive against unmarried fourth and ‘many third students by year university eliminating the ‘Modified Group “A” status’ under which these students receive loans tind grants Student . from the Ontario Assistance Programme (OSAP 1. An MCU memorandum sent to all student awards officers says the above measure will take effect ‘immediately’, and the student _ applications now classified as Modified Group ‘A’ will be ‘resubmitted ’ for computer As to what will assessment’. happen to these applications -after this ‘computer assessment’ is less than clear, but what is clear is that all future applications ‘will be assessed without reference - to Modified Group ‘A’ status’. Modified Group ‘A’ refers to thpse students who have completed at least three successful years (or six semesters) at postsecondary institutions or those who have worked at least one year and completed two successful years in academic studies. Also v this category is (or was 1. looked upon as an intermediate stage between the ‘dependent’ and the ‘indep,endent’ student. It is expected that the students affected by the MCU ruling will be considered as ‘dependent’ unless thay can meet the criteria whichdetermines the ‘independent’ student. In .other words, these students will have to complete four or more years of successful postsecondary education before they can cease to depend on financial contributions from their families. Now re-classified as ‘dependent’ these students will be penalized if - their parents do not make the government-expected contribution, as they can no longer be entitled to receive the additional allowance which the Modified Group ‘A’ status previously ensured. The apparent reason for this drastic change of policy doe’s not originate from the MCU but rather from Ottawa’s Guaranteed Loans Administration which drew to the

attention of the MCU the fact that current criteria for this category of students (i.e. those classified as Modified Group ‘A’) are more lenient than those specified in the operation of the Canada Student Loans Act (CSL). This difference in c-riteria standards has gone undetected for the past two years. When contacted, an MCU official said that there are no plans to either modify or reassess the current criteria. The official also claimed that when it received the directive frbm Ottawa, the MCU ‘didn’t question it’. As to whether or not these criteria really went undetected over the past two years, the official glibly asserted, ‘I wouldn’t go as far as saying the+ went undetected’. But the official wo Id not elaborate further as to why t 1:is category had been elitiinated so suddenly. Neither would the official venture a guess on how many students would be affected by the n&w ruling. ‘This ruling wouldn’t affect the students entering the final years of their programfies,’ said the official. ‘They have been going without this classification anyway, and all we are asking is that the, parents contribute for one more year’, the _official concluded. Wjth the elimination of the Modified Group ‘A” category, the parental contribution will have to increase whereas previously it had been next to nil. The affected students will be those who have i completed two academic years or those who are now entering their fourth year (without any ex- _ perience in. the work force of more than a year). For example, in the case of a family with an annual income of $15,000 (one wage earner) and with three children, one of whom goes to university, the expected family contribution would be $1,005. It goes without say’ing that given the increasing cost of living, the above parental contribution would be met with considerable austerity. -john

Reading ‘chevron editorial comment (on abortion, in particular) is like listening to the mumblings of Gollum from the damp, dark caves beneath the mountains of Mordor. Good Grief! ! Is there not an idealist among you? Is this unimaginative, conformist newspaper with its defeatist attitudes really the youth of the world speaking? We do not have to solve’problems the way our fathers tried to solve problems. We do not have to choose/violence over peace. We do not have to choose conformism over imagination. These are decisions which are born anew with each new person. Viet Nam did not have to happen. Creation can outshine destruction any day of the week. We do not have to choose life over death. When one chooses to play the death game one weighs down the * human spirit and freedom remains just out of reach. Each one of us is held back. If we must analyze our surroundings, (and I suspect we must), then let us go beyond a description of the four close walls and sagging ceiling of the chevron latrine-even if we must resort to creative imagination. In reflection, it seems that it is both the human triumph and- the humancurse to insist that what has happened in the past must, under similar-conditions, happen again in the future.

‘Another: _’ , . UW tradition ’ ,j Though I am off campus during the summer months, my contacts with Uniwatare still considerably alive, either through direct conversation or information obtained from the chevron. I trust my following comments will not suggest I have been misinformed on either account. The compulsory student activity fee increase is now final, and there is little to be done by way of appeal. What is interesting to note is the ’ similarity in the decision-making-approval process involved in this affair, and a project last summer-namely, the infamous Oktoberfest. My apologies for reviving a well-worn subject, but for the sake of all true scholastics, here is living proof that yes, history does repeat itself, and unfortunately man does not learn in its course. It seems, as I recall, that Oktoberfest was sanctioned by “all” the societies, as was this motion. However, let us read the small print that notes this word “all” refers to the few societies on campus during the summer term, and by-no means does it encompass the majority of active societies that are also a part of the UW community for the other two-thirds of the year. It’s the age-old problem of misrepresentationor should it be, lack of representation. Of course, to some, math and engineering pre the “all”, the everything, and to those whose scope is limited at the end of their noses (or whatever other organ you care to use), further discussion is impossible. But to the rest of academia, I pose one final query: understanding 1we are in such times of inflation, rising costs, crises, etc. the additional revenue generated by this fee increase is surely too precious to go towards financing another sort of fiasco like Oktoberfest. . . . . isn’t it?!

Students ’ -. get raise /I - -I After negotiating with the university machine for a month, federation representatives have managed to strike a small blow for the students employed by the university. Previously paid the “community average” of $2.50, the student workers received a raise of forty cents per hour as of July 1, 1974.’ Arguing from the point of equal pay for equal work, Andrew Telegdi and Terry Harding attempted to have the students wage raised to the regular $3.69-but university representative Ernie Lucy ‘of personnel refused to go that far. Lucy’s argument was based on a belief that students do not do equal work, and that the union did not want to see students hired very much at all. Strangely enough, union president Larry McGlone had a different story, that in fact the union did not at all mind the hiring of studentsnor did they mind them being paid the same wage as the rest of the workers, if they did the same work. Lucy had said earlier in an interview with the chevron that it had been ~a union demand that students pay the union dues but not receive the union wage.< At any rate, forty cents an hour is better than a kick in the face.

The university health services have switched from using the Dalkon Shield intrauterine device (IUD) to the newer, .and hopefully more effective, Cu-7 (copper seven). Medical Director Dan Andrew told the chevron on Wednesday th&t health services had become disillusionned with the Dalkon Shield because it was not living up to its reputation in the field of preventing pregnancy, and that it was coincidence that the Cu-7 appeared on the market at this time. The Dalkon Shield IUD has been the subject of much adverse publicity of late, being related to several deaths in North America and many more septic abortions (abortions caused by an infection in the uterus 1. The medical committee of Planned Parenthood has directed all of its affiliated birth control clinics to stop prescribing the IUD, to warn a-11 the women with the IUDs of the possible dangers, and to advise them of alternate methods of birth control. Andrews reported that health services would not “recall” the IUDs but that they will not be using them anymore, and that women that do come in with trouble will be advised of the new Cu-7. The Cu-7 is reported to have a pregnancy rate equal to that of the birth control pill---compared to the 5 percent rate with the Dalkon Shield. Also, the newer IUD is said to involve less discomfort on the part of the wearer and the rejection rate is lower than ever before. For women that can not tolerate the pill or the Dalkon Shield, the Cu7 is this year’s best bet.

Association held an- emergency Ian Williams, one of the prime meeting to discuss facultv sala& movers behind the demand for ’ scales -and the possibilit; of increasing them. As the meeting was poorly attended, no dramatic action was taken. Mike McDonald, president of the - Faculty Association, said that when he approached Burt Matthews, president of the university, on increasing faculty salaries he was met with a less than enthusiastic response. Matthews said that he ‘might do something in the fall’ about the matter. Obviously by fall, there will be no money left to allocate out of the university’s one and a half million dollar reserve. For by then, no doubt, other sectors of the university will have gotten the money. The above truth did not lose itself on thirty nine, resourceful faculty members, who, well aware of how fast money gets spent at this university, decided to call the Faculty Association’s emergency meeting. . After ’ McDonald’s offhand remark the attentive audience pondered on what to do. Bearing in mind that faculty members had already received a wage increase last February (which raised their scales to: $13,000 for assistant professors, $17,000 for associate professors and $22,000 for ( full professors) there seemed to be a guilty feeling among those present, and coupled

resulted ins the puck being lodged in the net ’ without anyone actually seeing it go in, including the players themselves. Upon viewing such skillful examples of passing precision one quickly realizes that table hockey at it’s,finest is a creative and in many ways aesthetically satisfying form of entertainment and involvement. All of the 25 participants that entered the tournament were men. In some sense this is understandable since hockey has always been accepted as a male oriented activity which seems to have carried over to its mi.niature and less physical counterpart. Unfortunately table. hockey need not be the male dominated sport that ice hockey has become for it does not glorify the aggressiveness and violence of -ice hockey and if you do happen to be hit by a flying puck it probably won’t cause you any severe physical damage. However there were a number of women referees and spectators tiho seemed seriously interested in the activities. , If this article has stimulated any interest in miniature table hockey it may be possible to hold a tournament in the campus centre sometime during the month of August. Since organizing such a tournament is a somewhat costly undertaking in that it will-be necessary to purchase a number of’games it may be necessary to charge a small entry fee (the prize money being dependent on the number of entries). However if there are enough interested people it should, be possible to obtain a number of table hockey sets that could be permanently situated in one of the

The 1949 strike lin the Quebec asbestos industry differed from other strikes of its day .on a number of points. Primarily .the breadth of publicity devoted to it,, the extent of the -debate triggered by it and its disruptive effect upon French Canadian society, lent to the asbestos strike an importance far out of proportion to the initial dispute. The questions that it raised within the context of French Canadian nationalism served to drastically overhaul L the historical perceptions that yvere prevalent; the image of a- rural Quebec and the evocation of the Catholic miss+ for , French Canada were finally discarded in favour of a much more realistic conception of French Canadian society. In 1949 French Canada was not rural in chm,acter, in fact, by 1938 63.1 per cent of French Canadians were urbanized, living much more closely, to the industrial sector than the agricultural. With the strike these facts ahsumed proportions that absolutely forbad any further neglect within

dividuals since 1949. The vote that was called in Asbestos on the evening of February 13, 1949 precipitated a ’ strike of major proportions. The following day the miners at Asbestos went on strike; to be joined, within 24 hours by most of the miners of Thetford. Five thousand workers left their jobs and stayed out f6r close to four months. As is the case in many industrial disputes, the issues r included working ’ conditions, wages, benefits, union recognition, and government labour policy. Negodiatiois between representatives of the Johnson Co., Asbestos Corporation and the . Y Canadian Johns-Manville Co., and members of the Bational Federation of Mining Industry Employees began in December of 1948 and lasted into January 1949. It became clear froin the , outset that the Canadian JohnsManville C.0 . , was assuming the most intransigent position amongst the employers, ..and consequently the negotiations centred around that company. The policy adopted by JohnsManville executives of posting an outline of the, meetings with union representatives in the shop after each bargaining meeting appeared as a conscious effort to weaken the union. By appealing , directly to the workers and thus ignorini their chosen representatives, the company challenged th% legitimacy of- the union in handling the negotiations. Management, however, maintained that they were doing no more than reporting “the progress of any such negotiations , to our emplo.:-ees .” The efforts of the tinion b representatives, amorigst them Jean Marchand, the general secretary of the Canadian and Catholic Confederation of Labour, to obtain wiitten guarbntees that efforts would be made to solve the problem of asbestos dust in the mines, and _ the subsequent lung damage suffered by the miners, met with refusal. Similarly the demand fo

a 15 cents per hour increase, 18 per ce$ on piece work and a 5 cent per hour ,night premium was refused, regardless of the fact that, when compared with prewar conditions, the workers in 1948 had lost ground. In 1937-38 41 per cent of total value of sales in the asbestos industry went to wages; by 1948 that proportion had been reduced to 35 per cent. The failure to reach any agreement over the demands, combined with the bad faith exhibited by JohnsManville led to a breakdown of negotiations on January 10 and vain attempts by a -provincial conciliator to resolve the deadlock. At the heated union meeting held on February 13, Jean Marchand told the miners that, given the deadlock in negotiations, they could adhere to the labour laws of Quebec and await the ruling of a provincially appointed arbitrator, or go out on an sillegal strike in support of their demands. The record of part arbitration clearly favoured management, and the possibilities of a fair solution through legal means appeared slim. The miners unanimously voted for an immediate strike. During the next four months the asbestos miners and their dispute became the focus of attention for most of the Canadian labour movement. Aid was provided by other Quebec unions, the Canadian Labour Congress, and part of the Trades and Labour Congress. The Church in Quebec played a crucial role in supplying both material and moral support; collections . were taken throughout Quebec for the benefit of the strikers and their families and all levels of clergy, notably Mgr. Charbonneau, the Archbishop of Montreal, explicitly criticized the provincial government and the employers for their treatment of the legitimate demands of the workers. the provincial For its part, government clearly aligned it self with the interests . of management. A. Barrette, the Minister of Labour in Maurice Duplessis’ Union National government, went as far as to condemnthe miners for launching an illegal strike, and to demand their immediate return to work, without any guarantees of reinstatement from the employers. The use of the provincial police’ during the strike served only to emphasize the position adopted by the Duplessis government. Despite assurances that maintainance _ personnel would not be interfered with and that upkeep of property would not suffer during the strike, Johns-Manville appealed for theprotection of the provincial police. When this same company began hiring scabs to reopen its mines, _ the provincial police served as armed guards and enabled the strikebreakers to

break through the picket lines. Among the charges that were raised against the activities of the provincial police during the strike were many of open intimidation , and harrassment, both of strikers and their families. A number of such incidents have been included in Gilles Beausoleil’s chapter, the “History of the Strike at Asbestos.” He mentions that “a striker who had forgotten his drivers license was taken to Sherbrooke and told that he would not get out of it with less than a thirty-dollar fine unless he agreed to return ‘to work at the Company in the near future.” On May 5, at the height of the public demonstrations staged by the strikers against the strikebreaking tactics of the Company, and the complicity of the police, it was reported that a carload of plainclothes police had driven head-on into a picket line on one of the roads leading into Asbestos. “The strikers got out of the way, but the car was forced to stop because, on a second line, the road was blocked by trucks and automobiles. The strikers asked the passengers of the car for their identification cards, but the latter did not want to show anything, nor did they want to explain why they had-come to Asbestos. A shot was fired. In a few minutes, the occupants of the car were dragged from their seats, and the automobile was pushed into a ten-foot gully.” Demonstrations continued throughout the day, and that evening the Riot Act was read. During the subsequent 56 hours one hundred and eighty people were arrested, detained and interrogated’ by the Q .P.P. The combined efforts of the police and theemployers, especially during the two days, May 5 and 6, failed to break the strike. In fact, two more months elapsed before a preliminary agreement was arrived at the strikers agreed to go back to work. The effects of the strike did not stop with the immediate resolution of the demands that had precipitated it. The settlement arrived at for 1949 was not overly sympathetic to the workers and the issues that they had raised concerning working conditions, wages and’ benefits. However, during the course of the next half a dozen years marked improvements were made. BeyondLa doubt the ability of the union to sustain a four month strike, despite the hostility of the combined forces of government and management greatly enhanced its bargaining position and during the years following the strike it managed to substantially improve the wage position of asbestos workers. Furthermore, while the _guarantees of reinstatement made in July 1949 were not -immediately honoured, pressure brought to bear by the union resulted in complete compliance within a couple of years. What the strike stood for in the province of Quebec extended beyond the question of labour

relations. With the asbestos strike, substantial portions lof the nationalist leadership recognized and publicly addressed themselves to the industrial nature of French Canadian society. The old myths of rural Quebec and the virtues of the land could not survive the debate triggered by a strike within an industry as complex as the mining operations in and around Asbestos, The Church vocally admonished the provincial government for its treatment of the industrial working class in the province and attached itself to the cause of improving the conditions experienced by that working class. Such a transition within the Church-from eulogizing’ the rural mission of French Canada to recognizing the industrial realities of modern Quebecnecessarily influenced the course of French Canadian national thought. A number of illuminating observations, both dealing with the immediate questions of the strike itself and with the wider questions involved, are made throughout The Asbestos Strike. In particular, the comments made by Trudeau in the closing chapter proved interesting. The role of the “strike” as a weapon in the hands of the worker is one that is continually being redefined both as it pertains to the whole community and as it bears upon the industry involved; In the context of the asbestos strike, Trudeau analyzes the importance of this weapon in developing both a strong union and the awareness necessary if a strong working class movement is to develop. As a tool, the strike is crucial, given the strength of management and the hostility’ of government in labour disputes. _ Asbestos was and still is a one industry town, and when the miners decided to -strike against

Johns-Manville the - dispute ,assumed proportions much larger than a mere industrial strike--in essence it became a co-mmunity problem and the attitude of the city council indicated the degree of involvement assumed by the community. Basically, the council was sympathetic. towards the strikers, and attempted to mediate on their behalf with the provincial government. W-hen the position of the government became clear, the council openly criticized its conduct, and -actively participated in the ongoing debate. That this was an industrial community, - basically urban and working class, was beyond doubt. In this case the strike was not merely an industrial weapon. It became a social weapon, , wielded by a working class community in defense of its social existence and to improve its economic conditions . The authors of The Asbestos Strike deal with the incident in such a manner that they shed light upon a number of different questions dealing with the French Canadian community, and politics as ’ a whole. Two particular areas, namely that of French Canadian nationalism, working class politics, and received considerable attention. In the epilogue, Trudeau discusses in length what he saw as the condition of nationalist thought in French Canada. His assessment of the nationalist school ran, in part, “where social issues are concerned, it enlists scarcely support from any modern-minded people these days, and is taking progressively more conservative stances .” A few paragraphs later, the, framework within which Trudeau had [arrived at such an assessment was clarified. Speaking of Quebec’s relative safety from violent revolution, he in a says, “we have a safety-valve

continental economy and in afederal constitution, where pragmatism, secularism, and an awareness of change are the predominant attitudes .” Clearly, in 1956 as much as in 1974, Pierre E. Trudeau was-a federalist, and his assessment of nationalist thought in Quebec quite visibly reflected this attitude. Contrary, to his characterization, however V it would appear that nationalism has managed to remain abrest of the times and incorporate many of the lessons taught during the asbestos strike into its perception of an independent Quebec. Nationalism is still a force to be reckoned with in Quebec, and has far from withered from the political scene. . If his federalist position has remained unchanged since 1956, Trudeau’s attitude towards labour and the working class has not. Not only Trudeau, but Pelletier and the other authors as well, discuss and comment upon .. the strike itself, and labour politics in general, in a decidedly sympathetic tone. Trudeau speaks favourably of the confidence with which,the workers of Asbestos began to press their demands during the years after the strike. Their complete control of the municipal government. both mayor and council-is one expression of this confidence itemized by Trudeau. He ~also amusingly talks of an industrial democracy wherein workers have a real control over the direction followed in the industry that employs them, and other issues ‘dealing with specific working class conditions. However, the position taken by the government lead by Trudeau since 1968, and including #amongst its cabinet members both Pelletier and Marchand, has been. unequivocally anti-labour and vigourously unsympathetic towards the aims around which the authors of The Asbestos Strike, rallied in 1956. Individuals who had either actively participated in the 1949 strike, ie. Jean Marchand, or who had expressed themselves as favourably disposed towards the aims of the strikers, have formed a govern‘merit that has passed legislation to end the rail strike in 1973, and maintained an antagonistic attitude towards its own employeesspecifically, the postal workers. The Asbestos strike is a major work in mod-ern French Canadian history, written by many who were considered among the intellectual left of the 1950’s. Since 1956 many things have changed, while ., much has remained thesame. Disputes over the issues behind the asbestos strike continue at a rapid pace, and the attitude of government towards both labour and strikes continues to aggravate such disputes. Today, however, government is in the hands of those who, in the past, had spoken critically of such government positions. by John Keyes

. Jamming This weekend, the cream of the strawberry crop will be in. evidence at the various markets and stores in the area..‘ To take advantage of these summer gifts the,following hints and recipes are given so that you might be able to preserve an otherwise Seasonal fruit. If’you ai-en’t satisfied to shop in’ the stores there are several places in the area where you can pick your own berries for 35 to 50 cenis a quart. Unfortunately, berry areas are usually picked out within two or three days of opening (due to heavy demand) so it is impossible to give you information on areas to hit. Check the local paper and phone around to the various orchards to discover where you can pick your own. Arrive at least an hour earlier than the field opening time and try to get there the first day that the field -is open for a choice at the best berries. When you are picking try to clean out your row of berries possible, as completely as shunning slightly white or overripe fruit as it does not keep well. The fields ]n s,outhern Ontario are also swarming with wild berries. You have to search for

them. Wild I strawberries usually gri>w in’fields or on hills where the vegetation is not that thick-areas that receive a lot of sun should be suspect. With the above in mind, here are two recipes for great (but sweet) jam. It takes 4-5 pours for the jam to jelly. Strawberry Jam (Whole Berries) 1 cup whole strawberries 2/3 to 3/4 cup sugar juice from l/4 cup gooseberries (or lemon juice) juice to Add gooseberry stratiberries. Simmer ’ until soft. Add sugar.
