-The summer ‘74 ‘Intramural program came to an end last week wi;h the final playoffs being he/d in many of the sports. As usual, each summer seems to surpass the previous one In terms of p&ticipa& and the number of sports being played. In mani of this summer’s playoffs, staff and faculty teams were playing t,he student teams and for_ the resu/ts see page eight. A perennial favorite of the intramura./ set is the innertube

waterpolo games. This watersport was introduced to this campus by intramura/ director Peter Hopkins three &ars ago, and-has made a’ fantastic rise in po>u/arity sintie the famous Waterbabies popultiised the sport in the beginning.

More,-. co-op

-” .

The executive assistant to the dean of Environmental Studies, Peter Brother,’ told the chevron last week that it is probable that the geography department will have a co-op progra,mme by the fall of 1975:The programme will be similar to those presently offered, in mathematics and engineering.

The only. possible setback could be the university job co-ordination department’s survey of the market for geography students in the fall and winter terms. The programme might be scrapped if the survey determines there is a job shortage.

Students- will be eligible for the work term in their second year of an honours geography programme as an alternative to the regular one. Brother also told the chevron that only the best students of each year will qualify.

The school of urban and regional planning is ambivalent to the idea of going co-op. Hugh Lemon who is in charge of the school’s summer internship programme feels that there is only a small year round supply of good planning jobs and he is sceptical as to whether there will be enough meaningful jobs.

Other faculty members favour the programme simply because it will offer practical experience.

I Take a Br’e& ffom the v&y th.ought of ,’

Lang claims th‘at the fdetus has ‘the “right” to use the body and all the organs of the -pregnant woman-even without that woman’s consent.

NOBODY has that “right” If he’d consult his dictionary again, he’d find that the word he’s looking for is not “democracy” but “slavery”.

Under the present laws, women have had to pretend insanity or submit to torture and death at the hands of backstreet abortionistsall i’n the attempt to control their own bodies and lives. Is this what Lang understands by “respecting the. dignity of a human being”?

Lang doesn’t have to’ worry, though. His wife could always fly to New York if she ueeded an abortion. The present laws make the situation most_ desperate for people who don’t have money or connections or who live in remote or conservative, areas of the nation. If you’re rich enough, you can always get what you want. Is that “what our whole democratic ‘. process is built upon,” Mr. Lang?

In the face of the Canadian government’s recent _ attacks against safe abortion/,_ the Committee to Defend Dr. Morgentaler is helping women organize to demand their rights.

Drs. Morgentaler, vacchabee, Tanguay , and Nurse Cornax are before the courts at present as symbols of women’s struggle to co&r01 their own reproduct&e faculties.

Many politicians are still .afraid to take a strong’stand in ‘favour of repeal of anti-abortion laws. It’s ui;, to us to change that and to> force them to support a woman’s right to choose. We can only achieve this if we are united in public -action. -One woman’s voice can easily be ignored, but “sisterhood is powerful’ ’ .

People interested in supporting the Cbmmittee to Defend Dr. ’ Morgentaler should contact Barb Horst 578-8515, Laurel Fischer 5762293, or Sara Butson 821-2526.

Committee membership is open to both men and womep.

The Committee urges all of its supporters to sign the telegram being sent by June Callwood and Pierre Berton to Justice Ministers Lang and Choquette. ,

Road Y invites assault. .

I

I am extremely concerned about the university’s attitude towards the path used by Physical Resources between Bearinger Road and Ctiumbia Street. The _ university acknowledges its use by students as a bicycle path, as they haye paved part of it for that purpose. If the school is going to take on that responsibility for such a facility, they should also do more.

Last Wednesday night (July IO), after class, I was attacked along that path, while on my bicycle.

No great harm was done....this time. My concern is for the next time, and those times past. The police told me that they get many complaints of ittempted assaults along that path. I ‘do not expect an armed guard, but lighting would certainly help. The public uses that path as well, and my concern is also for those younger high school students. The area near Bearinger Road is completely bush, and demapds lighting.

Someone is going to be seriously injured along there-falling off a bicycle or attacked. How many times does it have to happen or how serious does the matter have to become before the university takes these corn’ plaints seriously? There have been too many assaults along that p$th (ofie is too many) and it is time again to try and get something’ done about it.. ?he university could& te that using , the path would be trespassin& but it is such 3 convenience to Lakeshore Village, they will not be able to deter students from using it. I hope +that the responsibility for university students is recognized, and that this situation is wretched enough I for those involved to try and remedy it.

.*-Last. spring five-people from the Kitchen& ’ Waterloo . Human Rights Caucus -conducted-a _ shdyof. court behaviour ,of the K-W ‘area. .A .variety ‘of cases were monitored, but most cases were related- to drug offenses. under the .Federal Narcotics Control &t.Most of the _people. charged, and observed were under the age .of -twenty. =-.,_ -1 -j 1 . _- 1.

1The caucus research group w.as primarilyin- : terested in studying the sub-cultureof the courts, the background of the- people appearing in the and discovering -whether or not the _ co+, defendants we% aware of their-rights .Although; in the eyes of the court the majority of the cases would be considered minor, the research group felt that the consequences of many ofthese cases would eventually not appear minor to the defendants.

This _ assumption is made because resulting records, time spent in .jails and~probationary~records can disadvantage a person right through his/her. life; par;ticularly, in the present era when computers and centralized information systems can-lhave merciless memory I /- . . . systems.

- A significant finding of. the group- was-: that \ some people appear -in court charged with an offense other than that for which they- were originally apprehended.

For example, during the I Oktoberfest period, a, ‘man was apprehended for being drunk in a public place. When searched on , the I same -occasion, $n unopened package Tof ma,rijuana was found in his-possession, for which he .was charged. In the court, he was. charged for possession of marijuana and the charge of being intoxicated in a public place was dropped because the crown offered no evidence to substantiate its original’ charge.

- \ Another case involved - an eighteen year old ‘male, apprehended for operating a motor vehicle with a broken .tail-light. 1 Upon. _ further in’ vestigation and after a sear&$ the police found eight grams of marijuana on him. The original reason for his apprehension was not followed up and he was charged with possession of marijuana.

- A number of people who are charged, fail to appear in court at the -proper time. ,This is probably because-they are unfamiliar with thd court system.

A charge is laid against them for _ failing to appear and this-charge is significant in’ , theamount of money which the defendant has to . eventually pay the court.. The important point here is that the court does not-, in any way, attempt to set a time at the convenience of the x defendant. ,On the other hand, the group found that the court, particularly certain ‘magistrates, sit for very short periods of time and all defendants have to comply in appearing atthis particular time, regardless of, other’ activities, in’ eluding , work, in -which the defendant might_ be involved outside of , the - court. c Frequently defendants sit hours in the court waiting for their . case to come up and sohetimes they have to come :back the next day or at some other-time at I a great inconvenience to themselves.

I I Schedules are definitely geared to the convenience of the hwyer, the magistrate and the police, not to that, of the - defendant despite his/her potential innocence.

A significant feature of this. approach too is that if in a. minor case, the police office doesnot appear to testify, the casesis -frequently dismissed by the court.

This occurred in a traffic case; - where a person was fined an additional $5.00 for not appearing.-In more serious cases where a defendant .failed to appear, the original ’ charge was,dropped and an additional charge of failing to appear, brought a heavy fine. An example of this was when a seventeen-year old youth was charged with possession, of the equivalent to one cigarette of marijuana.

become experts in’ regulating people flows for their own convenience.

A defendant spends more of his/her time waiting for his/her trial to come before the court, than- he /she does with the hearing. Court hearing delays are frequent and a great deal of apprehension may be-created with the defendant, as he or she sits on a wooden pew, and observes others being processed through the system, prior to the hearing of his/her own case.

A typical day begins with the. judge or bailiff asking if anyone needs the services of duty counsel. This is followed by those cases needing the services of duty counsel, then the cases needing the trial date set, then by the cases of people pleading guilty and then by those who wish to plead not guilty. . The cases of defendants pleading guilty are processed very rapidly.

On the average, such, cases take four or five minutes. Those defendants’ choosing to plead not guilty have usually procurred some form of defense by recruiting a lawyer or by having additional witnesses to testify for them. These cases typically take about half an hour, but can take three-or fourhours.

The current court system would become inoperable if everyone charged with an offense decided to plea not guilty, particularly in traffic offenses. in the Kitchener-Waterloo region, Currently, there appears, at certain times, to be a sense of urgency in gettin-g on with the disposition of the

All individuals -involved in the court, proceedings are distinguishible to some degree by their manners and particularly by their dress.

One can immediately upon -entering the court distinguish the judge. from all others in higher. courts because of his black robes and stately dignity of the court.

Lawyers appearance --the are usually dressed in expensive business suits and police, while on duty, dressed in uniforms.

Most of the defendants, from their appearance, would seem to be of the working class or students or young unemployed people. XZrtain distinct class-groups -and occupational categories seem to \ be under-represented.

Typically there are between 13 and 15 persons in the court system engaged in processing cases-the bailiff, duty counsel, judge, and, stenosecretaries, _ crown _ prosecutors graphers. .Their salaries probably amount to around $2000 a day. The various judges in the courts of Kitchener and Waterloo are known within their sub-culture, which includes various characteristics, traits and qualities, reflecting the degree of assessment of the defendants.

These in the eyes and perceptions of the court players make them appear to be harsh men to,deal with or easy “to get off the hook” from Like other humans and groups, court officials and judges are readily stereotyped.

This also applies to crown attorneys and duty counsels.

Judges and others in the court may contribute moralistic comments of their own accord, which may be unrelated or uncalled ~for in particular cases.

The . group received much first and second hand information on the above mentioned, which is the unofficial *agenda of the court.

For example; in one particular instance, a woman of 22 or 23 years of.age, appeared in court -after having been apprehended the previous -night. She had not been given enough time to put on any significant amount of clothing She thus appeared briefly dressed and the- judge presiding, passed a comment with a qualifier to the effect’ that it was to his displeasure about the way the defendant was dressed. He intimated this at the end of the case. At the end of another case, the judge- asked the defendant if he had had any exposure _t_oTexas. This comment was prompted by the defendant’s dress. He was wearing cowboy boots and a leather jacket with fringes on it.

Observation also indicated that one bailiff was more apt to reach down to the defendants’ language level. He ,asked ‘whether one defendant “was shacking up with his honey”, indicating by gesture the woman he was with. Court newspaper reporters tend to identify with the court officials.

‘For example, in a case where a policeman’s loaded .38 calibre revolver was stolen, the reporter made a comment after the trial, that this case, if reported, would make the police look worse than the accused.

The OPP officer had left 1his gun lying around, open for anyone to take. The reporter, from a local newspaper, did not make a report on this incident.

This might give som-e indication of with whom the reporter identifies objective reporting.

It seemed as if those people that had been through the court system previously, were the most heavily punished, there seemed to be some inconsistency in the severity of the punishment for first offenders.

‘This often varied according to which particular judge was presiding in the court at the time, plus the time of day, plus a number of other factors such as the ) appearance of- the defendants, the time of the week, whether or not a defendant was accompanied by his parents, or with a lawyer. For impaired driving charges for first offenses, fines varied from $60 to $250. It became increasingly obvious over th$ time period of the observation that defe.ndants were uncertain which variables, would determine the outcomes of their cases.

Would it be the seriousness lof the crime, a previous record, personal appearance and m_annerisms and dress of the defendant in court, attitudes, the whimgof the attorneys, age or sex?

The court does not always make clear to the defendant the consequences of a cmviction or of making-a guilty plea. For example, conviction might lead to the inability to obtain employment with the govern-ment; obtain bonding; and move from one country to another. These consequences are often hidden from young people because of their lack of experience and their unfamiliarity # with laws and courts.

suggestions for reformThe group feels that the present court system should become more personalized and the numbers of people coming into the courts and being charged should be cut down considerably.

If laws were repealed this could be done easily.

There are certain ways which the group feels the court system could be made more h-umane and, more sensitive to the public, which it is supposed to be serving.

Court procedures, court methods and court- structures should become more simplified and democratized.

This could perhaps be accomplished through the formation of ordinary people tribunals, which could emphasize citizen participation and citizen mediation.

This involves a neighbourhood type of operation rather than the present centialized courthouse system.

This would act to restore trust in the court system’ particularly by young people and reduce intimidation thresholds.

Laws should be changed so that the jails are not so filled with-numerous minor offenders.

Such minor offenses should never reach the courts.

They should be disposed of by an informal compensation or mediation.

This could possibly be accomplished by reducing the number of police on patrol and increasing the number of citizens who would act as mediators or arbitrators.

New laws might reduce the amount of discretion given to judges in passing severe sentences on people that have been charged, and increase the amount of aid given directly to defendants.

At present, there seems to be quite a contradiction-in that a person who chooses to defend himself might win -his/her case but will still lose because he will have to pay his/her lawyer a fee which could be more than a fine would have been.

A top priority might be somewhere in the education system to encourage children to understand that they can have a role in rule making, rule enforcing, and that rules (laws) should reflect a current social reality and that no rule (law) is, immutable.

Some attention too, might be given to the fallacy of the philosophy which emphasizes punishment and conformity as a means of social control.

The research group feels that the purpose of-the courts (mediation between citizens) is being lost sight of. It would seem that in the present adversary system, it is the police (rather than the citizens) who are *adversaries of the citizens.

Complaints seldom seem to receive satisfaction from the outcomes of the present court system and the whole process has become depersonalized from all who participate in it, but more particularly for ordinary citizens.

I The group also feels that the court unconsciously encourages the police to predate vulnerable people-young people, people without resources and social isolates, rather than tackle well-shielded groups, which have resources and may be doing much more than these vulnerable categories to rend the social and environmental fabrics of our society.

SHOWS NIGHTLY 7 a-id 9:05 MATINEE, SUNDAY 2 P.M.

The occasion is an opera and the place is Stratford, home of the bard and other ancient ghosts.

Enter two neophytes attending their first performance of a play put to music or vice-versa (or “an inseparable new being” of both according to the opera’s author). It is Gian-Carlo Menotti’s The Medium, a light opera written in 1946. In the lead role appears Maureen Forrester, a name renowned in opera_ circles. A full house composed mostly of older people receives the presentation at the Third Stage.

The story involves a fake medium, ,Madame Flora, and her two assistants; her daughter and a mute boy. During one of the sessions, Madame Flora feels a hand at her throat, a hand which is not part of the scheduled visitations.

She panicsand throws her clients out of the house. A voice haunts her and she blames the two youngsters for these manifestations.

When the clients return she reveals herself as a fraud. She evicts them again and sends away the boy. He returns to see the daughter and hides himself. Madame Flora walks in, hears a voice again and fires a revolver which kills the boy. The daughter rushes out to mourn over his body and the opera ends.

‘To take in an opera is\a sensation -that involves more listening than other theatricalpresentations.

One is struck by the incongruity of setting normal conversation to music. The emotional content of the words is overdramatized -by

and jumbled text. Therefore there was need ‘of much alteration, a little ad-lib, some correction, and a lot of rewrite.

The play itself, as present&. is,a. hodgepodge of . assembled Grecian myths ’ (with a few too many Latin expressions . thrown in for ill-effect).

The story is about the life of Pericles: Pericles, played by Nicholas Pennel, comes to Antiochusja rich and powerful king, to vie for the king’s daughter. He (Pericles) must answer a riddle set before him. If succJssfu1 he will win the hand of the’prmcess; if not, he will lose both the daughter and his head. .

The riddle is easily solved but states that incest is occurring between the King and _his daughter.

Sensing the danger of guessing either right or wrong, Pericles quickly returns home and sets off again in order that his city, Tyre, might not experience the ’ vengeance of the King Antiochus. s He flees to Tharsus where he delivers grain in order to relieve the famine and there befriends Cleon and Dionyza, the governor of Tharsus and his wife. Pericles sets sail again but is shipwrecked off the coast of Pentapolis.

He hears of a tournament at the court of King Simonides, attends, wins all the jousting and in the process wins the heart and hand of Thaisa, King Simonides’ daughter. ’ Some time later word is brought the musical accompaniment, an that Antiochus is dead and overdramatization that permeates Pericles returns to claim his the whole structure of the play. crown.

- Bell sucks you into the lyrics and rhythms with her, slow; sensuous voice. The instruments hold you there once you’ve arrived.

The relationship between Bell and the musicians is much like that existing in Maria Muldaur’s first album. It is a tight, cohesive knit. .This tying of forces creates a situation where the listener is simultaneously listening to both vocalist and musicians.

Contrasting this are albums like Bette Midler where the. emphasis is placed upon her voice.

The top teams in the league met in the finals last Wednesday night and #after four seasons in the league the Pussy Willows. finally tasted the sweetness of victory as they triumphed over the T-NUCS, 8-7 in the first overtime period.

The overtime -belonged completely to the Pussy Wilfows as the T-NUCS could not get a shot on net.

The rookie Al Foster proved to be the hero of the game as he found humself unguarded in front of. the net and popped in the winning goal past the T-NUC goalie who was clearly ‘the most outstanding player of the game.

In the consolation final, it was overtime that once again decided the winner. St. Paul’s emerged the victor in a close hard fought game,, against the Galloping Green Ghosts. Goalies for both teams turned in fine performances, but in the end a solid defense and diligent forechecking on the part of St. Paul’s team paid off in the winning goal. .

: __.of.losklg This summer over %J teams and 1000 students, faculty and staff got involved in the university’s intramural program.

The program had been revised somewhat, introducing the new concepts of A and B leagues, eqiAized competition and consolation playoff structures.

With all this, the stage was set for excellent sports activity. The games were close and many saw overtime activity, it was the “summer of overtime”.

softball A year ago Recreation became a separate Intramural unit. Last they succeeded in Thursday, capturing their first championship-,The Engineering Students Memorial Trophy.

Throughout the season, everyone in A league realized the final game would find the hitters of Recreation against the pitchers of Co-op Math. ,Rec had the edge defeating Math 5-l in league play.

Through the first,eight innings, it was a close pitchers duel. Score Ret l--Math 0. In the top of the eight with bases loaded, two out and a fullcount in the batter, Co-op Math looked assured of a run.

Dave Simpson fired a strike to retire the side. , In the bottom’ of the inning, Ret scored an insurance run. Final score of a tremendous game, Ret . 2xo-o~ Math 0.

In Bleague, the Dumont Ducks were upset by the 6 Lunch Pails in a surprising final game.

The ’ -Ducks were the league leaders, and fairly confident that they would win the title.

But in the final game the Lunch Pails did better at the batting and-the Ducks managed several errors. The final score was Lunch Pails 9-Dumont Ducks 5.

In the A championship, everyone knew it would be an excellent game. The‘lead bounced back and forth in the first half time after time. At the half, it was the Dons 22, St. Jeromes 20.

After 10 minutes in the last half, the score was tied 24-24. St. Jeromes then must have decided that it was time to show the world why they’re perennial kings of the court, having won the Condon Cup
