enumeration -

‘scandalous’

- - -Students can still iote As a part of the “Housing ‘74 project” the Federation of Students investigated the students’ right to vote in -the upcoming elections on December 2. The federation was concerned that the fight of the students to vote would bz ignored. Federation president Andy Telegdi wrote to mayor Don Meston on July 29 requesting information regarding the voting rights of students at the University \ 6: Waterloo. ’ Waterloo city clerk Ron Keeling, replied on behalf of Meston on August 12. Keeling conveyed the communication he received from James Kehn, assessment services in the .provincial manager assessment office in Cambridge. Kehn stated students would ‘be enumerated as long as they met the qualifications under the Municipal Elections Act. The intent to enumerate students was further confirmed by Keeling to Morley Rosenberg, lawyer for the -Federation of Students, in a lettey dated August 6. The Municipal Elections Act, 1972 under section 12 defines the Qualification of Electors. A person is entitled to be an elector in a municipality if he is not disqualified under -this or any other Act or .otherwise prohibited by law from voting in the ele&ion and if, at any time during the period commencing dn the Tuesday following the first Monday in September and ending on the second Tuesday in October in an election year, he, a) is a resident in such municipality ; b) is a Canadian citizen or other British subject; and c) has attained the age of eighteen years or on or before polling day will attain the age of eighteen years. 1974, c. 32, s. 5, part. Under section 18 of the Munici-

pal Election Act the Preparation of Preliminary List of Electors is outlined. Aq assessment commissioner shall, during the period corn-, mencing on the -Tuesday following the first Monday in September and ending on the 30th day of September in an election form an year, enumeration taken during that period, compile for each polling subdivision in each municipality and. locality in his assessment region a list containing the name and address of each person who meets the requirements for an elector under sectionl2. Because of the content of the Municipal Elections Act on qualification and enumeration procedures as well as assurances by Kehn and Keeling that students both ofi and off c?mpus would be enumerated the federation was satisfied that students would not be ignored. However, On Sept. 30 UW student L. Shapiro, a resident of Minota complained to the Hagey federation that students living at Minota were not m%Y enumerated. Telegdi immediately phoned Kehn and asked for an explanation and arranged for a meeting the next day. The meeting between Telegdi and Kehn was joined by W. Donohue, regional commissioner, and W.C. Gildner, Assessor for the provincial assessment office. In order to keep a proper record of the meeting TeIegdi turned on a tape recorder. Donohue requested that the tape recorder be turned off and promised instead to provide written -documentation of the meeting. It was made quite clear during the meeting that with the exception of the married students residence ‘and the Waterloo cooperative .apartments, students

photo by peter kade Cameron stated “Our people re‘ceived an education of parliament procedure today. We came to Ottawa unarmed and with peaceful in ten tions “. However many lndian people as well as others were injured, some seriously, despite the fact that many sources stated that there were no in juries.

living in reside&e at Village I, Village II, Minota Hagey, St. Jerome’s collegd, Renison college, St. Paul’s college and the Waterloo co-operative were not enumerated. The number of students who were ‘ignored is approximately 3,200. Kehn said students were ‘not enumerated because they were hard to contact. -Gildner said enumerators checked with admission officers for the residences to seek lists of eligible students. Kehn, Donohue and Gildner said they felt the efforts made to enumerate students ’ in the residences was reasonabl&. They likened the residence to a large boarding house. Telegdi charged that the assessment off ice was in fact negligent. The fact that 3,200 students living in residence were not enumerated was -cited to support the negligence charge. Telegdi further said that checking with the admission officers for the residences was not proper. Only the students themselves could give the proper information regarding their status as possible voters. It was also agreed that in the future a student from each one of the residences could act as the enumerators of that residence. Cail Vinnicombe, m director of hou@ng and residence operations was visited by one of the enumerators in mid September. Vinnicombe and the enumerator discussed some of the problems in enumerating students in residence. They were of the opinion that the best procedure would b,e to have an enumerator available pn certain days for students ‘wishing to be enumerated. However, -the enumerator did not follow up on the plan. The same thing happened at Waterloo Co-operative R&idence Incorporated. At Renison College, an enumerator asked whether any of the residents lived at the college on a full-time basis and since no one did, none of -the students were enumbrated. The enumeration procedure at Wilfrid Laurier University was similar td that at Waterloo. When one- considers that between the two UniversititeS in Waterloo, 4,000 students Jving in Te+idence were not enumerated, one has to be concerned. ’ The failure of the a%?- smeni-

officers for the region to conduct proper enumeration as far as the --university residences are concerned is scandalous. Students who have noi been enumerated can still vote in the Dec. 2 municipal elections. The voters’ list will be published after October 8th. Any student who was missed during the enumeration period and qualifies to be anelector can have his name added to the voters list by appealing to the city clerk’s office. Students can further swear an oath on election day at the polling station that they are eligible to vote and in this way exercise his or her franchise. The Federation of Students will request the city-clerk to fix places on campus at specified times when revision to the preliminary list of electors can be undertaken. If the city clerk agrees to such procedure the Federation of Students will undertake extensive advertising to inform the students of the time and place of revision. It is hoped that those who have been ignored will be recognized.

Administrative minions breathed a sigh of relif last Friday, when university president Burt Matthews said undergraduate enrolment increased by 320 students this autumn, Tbe increase reported in -registration ‘figures jut about matches a three-per-cent increase in students predicted for universities across the province. An enrolment report indicated . about 12,400 undergraduates are _ registered at the University of Waterloo and affiliated colleges. Considering nsrmal dropouts in coming months, the university predicted it will hztve 12,C%2Q students enrolled December 1. an ’ increase of 321 over last’year. The december count is important because that is the figure _ -reported to the provincial govevent for grands and is the number the utiversity uses in calculating next year’s budget. ’ The UW report showed a return of students to the arts faculty: a field that had been declining in enrolment in recent years. Final registration, afti,r an alIowance for dropouts, was expected to result in 2,129 arts students in December, an increase of‘ more than five per cent. Other faculties shoe increase included engineering, 2,777 -students; mathematics, 2,597. Environmental studies with 1,191 students, human_ kinetics and leisure studies, 1,003, and integrated studies, 81, were about even with last year% enrohnent. Science declined slightly to 1,692. The figures include &lo0 co-op students who are away from campus until the winter term for on-the-job training. i St. Jerome’s college reported 419 students, an increase offour, and Ren$on college also increased by four to 145 students, -john

nickel

and dime reasoning

-‘Poor’ profs Want mane-y Doctor&-,pat@nize. ,pbtients "If you don't like It ,you go back where you

After 90 minutes of rambling discussion, the Faculty Association on Wednesday voted overwhelmingly to return a proposal for a 15 per cent salary scale increase for all regular faculty appointments to its salary policy committee for upward revision. Based on the near unanimous feeling that 15 per cent, even if granted intact by the administration, would merely -keep pace with this years projected Consumer Price Index (CPI 1 increase and would donothing to redress a lag in faculty salaries, the committee was instructed to‘develop a larger demand based on “detailed research”. The Original 15 per cent proposal was presented to-the meeting as an f‘eminently reasonable” request in light of the scantiness of prior increments, most of which have lagged behind the CPI. The salary ’ committee justified its proposal by arguing that professorial incomes - have fallen far behind “comparable” professional jobs and that they must be raised in order to allow the university to “remain competitive.” Last year UW faculty achieved a 6.5 per cent increase in wages-one outstripped by inflation they claim-that boosted the salary floor to $13,100 for an assistant, $i7,OoO for an associate, and $22,200for\ a full professor. The salary committee proposed as . well to agitate for “rearrangement of as many. benefits as/possible.” Items such as parking and dental fees, currently deducted from take-home pay and thus subject to income tax, could be smuggled out before take-home and thus save the tax. “Nickel and dime reasoning?” queried one - committee member; “yes, perhaps, but these days it’s getting to the point where nickels and dimes add up.” Opposition to the proposals as inadequate to professorial needs was immediate, many of the 60 members present agreeing that 15 percent was only a “catch-up figure”; a “bare minimum” which negotiators should view only as a “back-to-the-wall amount”; it was felt as well that 15 percent would never be granted outright and that it left no room for the downward revision that the administration could’ be expected to make. Some members wondered where the university would find the amounts of money,being requested, only to be informed that expected 7-8.5 percent increases in the Basic Income Unit (BIU3-the provinces means of financing education based on student attendance-would more than cover the hikes. Professor Ken Davis claimed it would be folly for the association to peg “legitimate” salary requests to “what we suppose the BIU increase will be”. He reasoned that while “no faculty are at the lower end of the (pay) scale” and that while nobody-“is going to go hungry”, faculty should phrase their demands in line with those of other professions of similar training. : In regard to sqmeone’s quip about the lack of concern indicated by 1 the low turnout at the meeting-less than 10 percent-Davis owned that it “is hard to get uptight when you’re not starving”. Still, he went on to argue that professors have “other professional obligations” as regards achievement of higher salaries and that “if we don’t see the worth of our .profession and act on it” thelag in wages will deter the really good minds-from .doing the job. Various efforts were made to whip up enthusiasm for greater wage - demands and physics professor J.D; Leslie admonished the membership to change the attitude of a-government which “has lost interest in education”. “Are we upset by this, are we going to do something, are we going to put some pressure on?‘?he-asked. . However, the depth of the conviction that larger salaries were justified did not result in the isolation of useable bargaining tools. The professoriat’s ineptitude in this area may be seen in the popular suggestion that in lieu of the administration granting a “reasonable increase”, the entire matter of faculty salaries be turned over to the province. This threat is premised in the belief that provincial control of salary budgeting would threaten much of the administration with vocational extinction. Ted Batke noted that the “frequent allusions to going to the province” as a way around administrative bargaining “sounds like a very facile solution”. This suggestion, he said, -would in effect turn. professors into civil servants and solve the salary dilemna at the price of fiied and non-negotiable rate increases. In response to all the rhetoric about professorial needs, Batke soberly inserted that “a few dozen people talking about 15 percent is J totally irrelevant; get 700 out here and then something may happen.” The meeting chose to steer clear of discussion of any alternative to the tacticof running to the province-certification as a regular union was rejected out of hand-and charged-its salary committee with the development of an. increased percent, with adequate backing, to give the association more room within which to compromise with the administration. -

Pregnancy tests and “morningafter” pills are all readily available -at UW health services provided women students are prepared to endure -a lecture, given by- resident doctors, on the existence of birth control methods. 1 “We’ll help you once,” says health s-ervices director Dan Andrew, after the student should then have learnt from the experience to stand on her own two feet and avert reoccurrances. “Sex is one of the most normal things in the world,” he says. Students at their ages have the physical qualifications, a great amount of sex drive and their emotions are at a peak. An 18-year old woman is mature enough to handle the experience, he adds. “Students are here to learn from more than just books,” and at their age it ,is an ideal opportunity to -exert an influence on how they develop physically, mentally and socially. It follows that health services should be “an integral part of students’ learning”. . Health Services’ doctors will not attempt to dissuade anyone from having intercourse says Andrew. They will discuss at length the possible types of birth control a woman might wish to use: f‘we

This’year the clinic received a new internal device, known as Copper T or Copper 7. They are the smallest ever made and prevent pregnancy because of the copper. He will recommend these- in more cases, says Andrew, who do.es pot > like constantly prescribing the pill because of the unknown long-range effects. Sterilization does not get the same treatment from health It will ’ not perform services. sterilization operations for people with no serious emotional or physical reasons unless they are married and both husband and wife agree on the operation. The “morning after” pill is dispensed. when requested. Two years ago- the chemical DES was used, but since then an extra strong dose! of the birth control pill-ortho-nov,um--has been used. Doctors will only prescribe it once both for medical reasons (there is a higher risk of sideeffects than from the normal dose) and’because students should learn to take proper precautions

Rock concerts staged so far by the .Federation of Students this autumn, have cost students $3,750 and if the trend persists the $20,000 entertainment,budgef will be overspent by next April. I In order to curb spiralling concert losses, Art Ram, federation entertainment chairman, was forced to-cancel last week’s John Mills Cockell concert in light of a shortfall in advance ticket sales (apparently only six tickets were sold). ’ “I can’t see throwing away’ money on a concert for such a small number of people when it could be spent elsewhere,” said Ram to the chevron. about his decision. Even though the federation cancelled the concert, $600. were still lost in unavoidable expenses such as promotion, tickets, technical requirements and ’ the performer’s contract. Apart from the Mills concert, other l&es include an outdoor folk

act held bandshell

park Cocker ($1,250) and Moe Kaufman ($900). Given the dismal picture in “rock ‘n roll” ventures, federation entertainment experts are now ques ti-oning the economic feasibility of running big shows in the physical activities complex. Big concerts, so the argument goes, are hard to book, attendance is waning and the universityis becoming more stringent about use of the gym given the sad shape of the-floor after concerts due to cigarette burns). ’ However, despite the clouds. of pessimism surrounding big concerts the federation will bring The Goode Brothers to campus in the near future, and according to Ram “I won’t cancel the next concert if people start buying their tickets in advance. I can only judge from advance sales. I will try to make the best decision I know how under the circumstances.” ($1,000) , Joe

themselves, says Dr. Andrew. . They also give abortion referrals, sending patients either to the*Erie Clinic in Buffalo, free of red tape but involving cash, or Toronto General Hospital, involving a small amount of red tape I but no money. The Kitchener-Waterloo area ’ does not condone abortions says Dr. Andrew. “I don’t want to give them the idea the university is a sex mill,” he says, so he does not even approach the local hospital beard anymore. Over the past eight months health services has handled 32 abortion referrals, Ten women became pregnant and kept their babies. Altogether 157 pregnancy tests were administered. -The gonorrhoea rate, while threatening to climb higher each year, is still lower than that of the outside community says Andrew. A confidentiality code is strictly kept by health services. Often mothers will call to inquire why their son or daughter is in the infirmary and doctors will answer that the information _is con- . fidential. “Some mothers are taken aback,” says Andrew. They have found they must be careful of the wording they use. -felicia

conference

mWomen rqp student roles

Guelph (ORCUP)-The role and problems of women students ‘attending Ontario universities and community colleges will be closely examined at a conference to be held, late autumn, in Guelph. The conference, planned for October 25, 26 and 27 at the University of Guelph, will feature three days of panels, media presentations and workshopson the traditional role of -women in post-secondary education; and possible tactics for changing that role. Sponsored by the University of Guelph Central Students . Pssociation and” the Ontario Federation of Students, the conference is expected to have between 100 to 150 delegates in rapt attendance. Each registered campus’group in the province has the right to send two delegates and the conference planners eagerly invite the participation of men. director of the University of According to Gayle Annis, Guelph Women’s Committee and one’of the planners of the conference, the stipulation that only delegates from registered campus groups could participate was a hard one to make. “We finally opted for representivity rather than completely open participation to all who were interested,” she said. “The hope is to bring together adgroup of people who might best reflect where people are at in terms of their attitudes toward sexism in post-secondary education. If we opened it up completely in terms of participation then problems discussed and tactics decided on by the conference cou’ld reflect more the opinions of people already committed to the women’s movement rather than people in general.” Annis stressed that the representative nature of the delegates was of particular importance “because the conference is planned around the idea of not just discussing problem areas for women in post-secondary education, but to try to work out concrete tactics and plans to attack these problems which can be actively supported by the groups represented .” The conference programme will consist of several. panel sessions on the academic and non-academic problems facing women at university, with emphasis on student problems such as housing and future employment. The panels will be followed by workshops oriented around developing tactics to solve such problems. The weekend conference will conclude with a plenary session of all the delegates in order to map out agreed upon ‘strategies. “After the conference is over” said Annis “the delegates then have the job of going back to their campuses I and trying to carry out the strategy.” The planners hope the conference can provide some degree of coherence and co-operation on a province-wide basis which will assist women students in solving problems which face them in attaining a post-secondary education. The fee for the three days is $10 per person, excluding both the travel and accommodation pool. Any campus group interested in sending delegates to the conference can contact Gayle Annis, Women’s Committee, University Centre, -. University of Gueiph.

Strengthens -1 -w(jmwens’ st l__, \ tio’ice provinc,ially . .

Vancouver [CUP]-Women in British Columbia now have an organization to help strengthen their voices provincially in matters relating to health, education, childcare, and employment. The new organization, the British Columbia Federation of Women; was formed at a meeting of 350 women at the University of British Columbia, Sept. 16. “it’s a way to focus the energy that does exist throughout the province,” said co-qrdinator Kate Swann at a press conference. The decision to form the federation was made at a conference held at Capilano College in May.

concerned with determining the policy and structure of the federation. As part of policy, the convention established interest groups in four major areas:, health, education, chi ldcare and em pioyment. The groups will function by researching their area of concern, planning related action and responding, to any action by the legislature. For example, progress in the health care area will come from the various health collectives throughout the ’ province. The education group will be concerned with the removal of sexist tests from schoo1.s and work towards. the institution of in-training courses for school teachers and counsellors to prevent sexist attitudes being present in the classroom. “More interest groups will be set up,” Swann said. “The whole situation is wide open for anyone to get together and set up an interest group. In this way the federation can keep enlarging .” Policy resolutions adopted include a call for an af,firmative action plan for women from the provincial government and for the removal of abortion laws from the Criminal Code by the federal government, to honour International Women’s Year. The convention also caHed on the provincial government to implement the Foulkes report recommendations for ‘community mental and physical health centres. Other resolutions include the extension of protective employment legislation and for more financial support for the B.C. Human Rights Commission. Policy was generally agreed

upon by all convent ion members, said publicist Joyce Bradbury. “How we are going . to do things was the question, not what we are going to do,” i she said. The federation’s basic structure was also decided at the convention. The core of the federation will be a standing committee of 22 members, Swann said. The committee . will consist of both regional representatives and a task force. Convention members divided the province into twelve regions on the basis of existing centres of population and known womens groups. Women from each of the regions elected their representatives to the standing . committee, thus insuring province-wide input to the committee. Swann said the ten-member task force was elected by the convention at large. Most members were elected to specific positions, including a coordinator, internal and. external “communicators”, finances, membership, a rural organ izer, an act ion organizer, as wel I as three unspecified members who will assist any - area as required. Women in these positions will be ‘responsible to the standing committee, Swann said, but are expected. to . initiate committees dealing with their areas. In this manner greater numbers of women will be closely associated with the _ standing committee. Representatives from each of the four existing interest groups were also elected to the standing committee, Swann said.

&we & Chhurenga I guerr’//as stirti~gle .oli HH.I _ by Doug

Ward

Chimurenga is the Shona word for war of liberation. Shona-speaking peoples aldng with the Ndebelespeaking peoples compose the indigenous African) peoples who inhabit the east-central African land of Zim&bwe. The African peoples of Zimbabwe have for the past 80 years been under’ the control of a European minority whom they outnumber 21: 1 and have since 1966 been involved in a protracted struggle for their birthrightChimurenga. Edward Ndluvo and Stephen Nkono, two members of the Zimbabwe African Peoples Union spoke to a well attended open meeting in the Humanities Building last Friday night and talked about the present condition of the struggle in Zimbabwe. ZAPU is one of the two political groups actively involved in the guerilla resistance against the racist regime led by Ian Smith. The other group is the Zimbabwe African National Union (ZANU) who in 1.963 broke away from ZAPU after a sharp clash over tactics. The two men are on a cross-Canada tour to publicize and enlist support for th%ir people’s cause.

The historical context

’

Recent African historiography asserts -that there is much evidence revealing that a vigorous and evolbing society existed in that area lying between the Zambezi and Limpopo Rivers-called Zimbabwe, when the Europeans first arrived. These Europeans found large stone palaces: findings which indicate a developed system of division of labour, as well as creativity and artistry. Irrigation and terracing reached considerable proportions, while on the mining side the Europeans found that virtually-all the gold-bearing and copper-bearing strata had been mined when they arrived. In the 15th century a great empire arose out of this area called. Monomotapa. Export trade, mainly in gold, ivory and copper began between this state and Arab traders on the Mozambique _ coast. Though the descendents of Rhodes and his settlers never admit it, there was in’ this land before their advent a definite patte?n of human development and historical movement. In 1890 Cecil Rhodes, imperialist par operating out of South excellence, Africa obtained a royal charter to govern the land north of the Limpopo River, hoping he would find an amount of gold comparable to that which he had found in South Africa. The stability of the settlement was not easily had as Strong resistance was encountered first from the Matabele Nation and then from both the Matabele and Mashona nations who were angered by the settler’s demands for land and labour. Settlement gathered m’omentum aft&r 1902 and by 1911 the population had doubled from 11,000 to over 23,000 and very real class interests began to appear; beginning a process which would crystallize during the depression in the 1930’s. Class conf I ict in the ‘30’s came from a natioval (not -settler) agrarian and wage-earnin bour’geosie who saw their‘ t

interests being undercut from two directions: I. International Capitalism which sdught African advancement so that the labour market would be more competitive; which tried to prevent the -rise of indigenous white \ industrialization as this took away from their future investment and profit; and which tri‘ed to foster the rise of an African middle clads so as to create a‘ greater internal demand. 2. The African peasantry who represented potential competition in agricultural and trading a_ctivities and who could undercut the monopoly of whites on high wages. To dull this double-edged threat the farmers and white waQe earners put through legislation which sought to divide the economy. into largely non-1 competing racial gr,oup_s, to decrease continuously the productivity of the African peasantry and to utilize the government to foster industrial development. So too, in 1923 Rhodesia was offered by Great Britain a choice between joining the Union of South Africa or of becoming indepen#ent. Opting for greater control over their. own economy Rhodesia chose the latter course.. It needs to be -noted the different ways that the Rhodesian state sought to- crush the natural humah develop-

cot ~sequence made necessary the trar isformatlon of the traditional system of cultivation from shifting to contin1 JOUS .cult iv ration, thus produci,ng - prc bgressive soil erosion, and. a dec :reasi ng the productivity of th& land. As is obvious, this programme is designed to systematically make the’ African no longer self sufficient and thus dependent on the white economy. During the 1930’s, however, a contradiction arose between this desire for industrialization and the progressive decrease of the African’s productivity. Industrialization requires a growing internal demand for manufacturers and so Rhodesia’s policies were in a sense setf-defeating. Stagnation resulted and lasted up to the post-war years. Woild War II brought to Rhodesia a great external demand for raw materials and the economy surged. Foreign capital poured in and soon outside capitalists held sway in the nonagricultural parts of the economy. More and more Africans became permanent wage earners -and settled in towns producing, in turn, a stable proletariat conscio’us of their exploitation and more adamant in their demands. All of these new economic forces brought about concomitant political forces, resulting in the 1950’s in a wave of reforms planned to foster an African middle class. “Racial Partnership” became the slogan of the day but the motive’s behind the new reforms were not as altruistic as they seemed on the surface. An African middle class or elite, as well as being a requirement for a stronger economy, was also a perfect means of containing the ambitions of the mass of Africans (this tactic was used with great success by the French andBritish as they handed in-, dependence over to African elites wh.o wou Id not alter greatly the al ready established economic structures). Through such a reform as the enfranchisement of Africans who were in a certain money bracket, Rhodesian photo by David Cubberley authorities could prevent these people from becoming agitators for real social ment which Zimbabwean‘s had exchange on behalf of the African perienced prior to colonization, and, in masses.. turn,‘to make them impoverished and totally dependent. Apologists for This rash of reforms was doomed colonialism, as well as people like Ian from the start, , however, as they were Smith today, remark that the white man directed against a highly politicized gave to the “native” a higher quality of class of white farmers, wage-earners life than that which he had had before. and petite bourgeosie who correctly In fact, colonial powers have always saw their power base being eroded. sought to destroy “native” industry and This class rose up in oposition to, the commerce and to make them importers reforms and formed the Rhodesian rather -than exporters, servants rather Front Party which took pow& in 1962 than owners, dependent rathhr than and declared UDI in 1965. creative.

spring, and FRELIMO has -taken control. Soon Angola will _ follow suit. The”-dominoes of that Unholy Alliance of Fascist Portugal, South Africa and Rhodesia are beginning to fall and now for Zimbabweans the question of “How?” has been replaced by “How soon?” Last spring a bill was proposed in --the Canadjan p_arliament to send “humanitarian!’ aid to liberation movements involved - in the struggle against the racist regimes in Southern Africa. There was-strong opposition in the press to this proposal and the bill was shelved till the next session for debate. Judging from Trudeau’s recent rejection of the press leak that he would form a more left-leaning foreign policy, the success of such a bill seems dubious. The premise-in such matters is -and will be the traditional liberal cop-out which reads that we, shouldn’t get involved in the domestic affairs of another country. The hypocrisy of such a view eludes most but the fact is that Canada and Canadian business is already involved in the Rhodesian -economy and ergo in Rhodesian politics. When. the two ZAPU representatives were picked up at Torontdairport fo come to U of W they had just arrived from Sudbury where they had been to speak at Falconbridge. Falconbridge has heavy investments in Rhodesia, making a $1 .3 million profit. These profits are due to the extremely low wages paid black workers: in one gold mine black workers start at 56 cents a-day, which on a six day week, gives to the miner a miserable $14 a month. -tn 1963 Falconbridge sold to the government a depletedmine with full knowledge that it would be turned into a detention centre for political prisoners. _Alcan, through its South Africa subsidiary, al ready owns 49.7% of Aluminum Industries of Salisbury and reportedly has already diverted $129 million for further expansion of their facilities t-here. For th,ese Canadian corn pan ies Rhodesia represents a highly profitable _ rate of return on investment. I . wonder why? . Canadian financial support for the resistance in Zimbabwe and the curbing ‘of Canadian investment in the Rhodesian -economy, can go a long way in_ bringing about the economic pressures which must precipitate Smith’s downfall. The liberation movement cannot win through conventional warfare, for the population distribution and topography of the land will not allow “Ii berated zones”. Sabotage directed at the, economy’s infrastructure, econgmic pressures from 1 outside, plus terrorist attacks to curtail imn@ration and send some of the nationals packing aie needed if the Struggle is to end- in independence. How soon wjll independence come? Edward Ndluvo said at the meeting: “I give Smith two years and then his time will be up!” Probably such a prediction is a bit premature: Sm‘ith’s economy is not quite on its last legs yet, nor are hi& ’ white supporters about to pick up and leave: Te’hsions in the land -are intensifying everyday though and a few observers would deny that within the next five year?, ,drarnqtiq I changes . will take place. \

’

Last week 500 students >and staff of the university gathered to hear Louis Cameron, leader of the Ojibway Warrior Society, speak on Indian rights in Canada. In the forum sponsored by the Federation of Students, Cameron, who has been travelling across Canada with the Native Peoples Caravan, said that he. was there only as a representative of himself and of his Indian brothersand sisters in North America. % -Y The meeting was opened with resolutions of support from the Kitchener Labour Council and the Iranian Student’s Association. They helped to state the theme of the meeting, that all oppressed people of the world should unite against their tormenters. The speaker started off by describing the institution of the$reservation as he saw it. It is illegal for bands on separate reservations to unite and form one large’ association. He saw this as a means of keeping the Indian people divided and therefore weak. Housing is substandard, often with no plumbing or electricity. Children that grow up in such an environment usually have no ambition to work hard J , in a school that may also be substandard and the dropout rate is very high as compared to any other type of community in Canada. ’ The life expectancy is much lower than for most groups of people in 1 Canada. These impressions can all be backed up by- government statistics. Cameron then went on to speak of his thoughts on what living in Canada could mean for, an Indian person. He saw Canada as a police state. It isn’t surprising that Louis Cameron should have this view, considering the fact that 4,000 Indians are imprisoned in his native town of Kenora each year, He asked why Mr: Trudeau was not visiting the reservations to see what they were really like. ‘ “We must fight united and fight for unity.” Cameron said that the struggle for freedom was not-the fight of Indians in Canada alone. He included the entire proletariat of Canada in re-emphasizing the theme of the evening. Mr. Cameron tried to explain why he felt that oppressed people were justified in using violence as a means to gaining self-government. “As long as we live in teepees and make beads nobody minds, as soon as we pick up guns everyone gets scared.” As far as he -was concerned talking with the Canadian government had proved to be use1 ess. The speaker gave a short political analysis of how the Indians had become oppressed and why they were being kept in that position. .,

hill by an RCMP officer who walked by my side all the way to the gates. Outside the gates the city police were waiting. The people re-assembled in front of the U.S. Embassey and left the front of Capital Hill the same way they entered chanting to the beat of their drums while a riot squad followed them on the street to the corner of Parliament Hill. 1000 strong we surged to the top of the steps before the Parliament Buildings, pushing before us 100 RCMP and a wooden barrier. We had come to talk business-to present our case to the rulers of our country. They knew we were coming but they were not there to greet us. Instead, we found a wooden barrier backed by a wall of about 100 RCMP and behind them were another 100 or so soldiers with fixed bayonets. We watched and waited and sang with the drums. Hours passed and the people grew impatient with ‘their negligent parliamentary ‘representatives. Occasionally a member of Parliament would wander out to the doorway to watch a while with his hands in his pockets and stand chatting withthe senior poljce and military and various reporters and hangers-on. The leader of the Indian Caravan, Louis Cameron, read over a loud speaker, the demands of the Indian People. Others spoke after Louis, trying to explain the nature of the problem but, unfortunately, the men in power did not comeout to listen. At 3: 30 p.m. Trudeau was given twenty-five more minutes to attend to our grievance. When he failed to appear we burnt our demands and finally pushed toward the Parliament Bui Idings. The RCMP vigorously resisted our approach and stopped us a couple of times, but a third surge drove them back toward the army lines. Suddenly, 200 riot police, who had been waiting somewhere in the background, charged us swinging three foot clubs. The people fell back in a panic of shrieks and criesof fallen Indian women and the shouts. of *men, brown, black and white. Many were cut and’bruised but I did not see any broken heads. Nevertheless, the police attack was sufficient to drive us from the hill. At the bottom of the steps some threw sticks and stones at the wall of riot police with their plexiglass shields and plexiglass visored helmets. An Indian leader called on people not to use such violent methods while another called for people to spread out to give room for fighting as the riot police had tear gas. Sporadic stick and stone throwing continued and the bushes beside the steps burst into flame briefly: The riot police; backed by the other 100 RCMP, declared us an unlawful assembly and ordered us to leave. They marched down the steps before Parliament and drove us from the field. We reassembled on the street below Parliament Hill, in front of the heavily policed United States embassy and left. en masse to the beat of the drum, followed closely by a wall.of police. We, marched to the storehouse on Victoria Island where sandwiches and coffee were waiting.

from every Ontario Student pbfi ticians university and many community colleges gathered in Sudbury for the fall Ontario Federation of Students [OFS] conference. The conference focused its attention on the inadequacies of the provincial OSA P loan scheme and the organization of an Ontario_wide campaign to reform OSA P. Other issues included the student housing crises, campaign strategies for the 0 FS fee increase referendum and the plight of the part-time student. The conference delegates okayed the campaign to fight for an indexing of OSAP support levels to the rising cost of living, an immediate cash bonus, an interest ceiling on loan repayments and the support of -a legal battle to allow stud&nt organizations the right to hold a license to serve liquor. The conference began with the. OFS executive announcing that OFS is stronger now than it has ever, been before and that it is in a strong position to represent Ontario students in Queens Park. All across the province referendums have been held in .universities to approve an increase in the OFS fee. All but one campaign has been won overwhelmingly by OFS and the campaigns have been won by the OFS present platform and activities.,The OFS executive felt that this would be good proof forQueens Park that OFS is supported by -125,M)~ Ontario university students. Discussion followed between OFS delegates and provincial party. representatives from Queens Park, The Conservatives ignored

the

conference and sent no&e. Ted Conroy, a liberal party worker from the Sudbury area patronizingly reassured the delegates that a liberal government in Queens Park would give the student governments full control over the acceptance of student loan applications. He felt quite sure that no student would rip-off his fellow students. The NDP representative, Ed Laughren; an MPP from Sudbury encouraged OFS to radicalize.its politics and act rather than react against Queens Park policies. _ He suggested that OFS not only fig4 fee increases but fight for free, accessible post. secondary education. He pointedout that most universities were built by the taxes of working people and run by the well educated, wel I financed elites of society. Laughren felt that the student’s greatest ally could be the teachers and professors but most delegates disagreed because university professors seldom see themselves-in the same class as the student. ’ _ The next -morning’s discussion centred on the upcoming OFS campaign for a more equitable OSAP programme. There were two schools of thought on the em_phasis of the campaign. The majority of delegates agreed with the executives’ plan to establish two categories of goals. Short-term goals of the OSAP campaign would be an increase in the proportion of grants vs. loans in the student assistance programme, the indexing of the assistance to rising cost of living and the lowering of the loans’ interest rate. The long term goal was the

OFS delnands @nor&d The Ontario Government’s new 19 member council on University affairs has run into _severe criticism from students, teachers and labour groups in the province. The Ontario Federation of Students (OFS) is mystified that the provincial government ignored the four students they submitted for consideration. There are two students on the council but they are unknown to OFS or the student councils in their respective universities, Jack Kushner, an OFS representative said “We are concerned about the method of selection for this council because, as it is now composed, we wonder who the students on

the council speak for. There’ is no, .accountability to anyone. No one knows who these stpdents are”. The ministry insists that “the membership of the council is not to represent special in3erest groups, rather- they were to represent a broad range of interests”. J Terry Meahger of the Ontario Federation of Labdur is upset that there are‘ no union representative& on the couhcils. The one ‘labour’ representative 00 the Council is from a non-union company, Stelco. Meahger is meeting with OFS to discuss this matter and outline some form of protest. The appointments were aIS0 criticized by the

ultimate elimination of university fees. Sever’al delegates insisted that the federation should now be fighting for the elimination of fees, and undertaking a campaign to improve the students’ image in Ontario and to persuade the citizens of Ontario that their universities are inaccessible. The alternative proposal dies a quick death despite the support of one member of the OFS executive. The executives’ proposal for the OSAP campaign-was well supported by the delegates. Saturday afternoon was spent in workshops on the fee increase referendums, OSAP’ campaign strategy and the pligM-of part-time and graduate students. The part-time student workshop recommended that a conference be organized. by OFS between federal and provincial officials, OFS and. representatives from part-time student organizations to review -the loan programme and increase the accessibility of part-time studies to the community. the graduate student workshop proposed that graduate students be given a minimum income of 4,OOO--dollars OF top of which they could earn extra income from teaching and research. When this proposal was brought back to the delegates many felt that this income was too much unless OFS demanded an equal amount for under’graduate students. But the motion did pass when it was explained that this is what graduate students are demanding and that few undergarduates have / I

InflatiCin The critical situation in the operation of Ontario’s Student Award Programme, is related to the development of governmental policy over a period of years. These -deWopments have taken place at both a federal and a provincial level, because the provincial scheme basically rests upon the Canada Stud&t Loan administered and controlled in Ottawa. 1

A federal

problem

Like most Federally-funded programmes of its nature, the C.S.L. reflects the inequalities of econom-ic developmentin the confederation, and thus a compromise between the attitudes of- the poorer and the richer provinces. It is because Ottawa is reluctant to allow provinces like Ontario and Albertawhich &e both relatively rich-to improve too much upon schemes used in, for example, the maritimes that the Modified Group “A” category was dropped by Queens Park this summer. Naturally enough the governments of rich provinces often find it most convenient to save money in the name of Federal “idea” whilst Ottawa is reluctant 1 to countenance policies’ which might lead to pleas for. increased expenditure in the have-not provinces. However, since the problem of reconciling inter-provincial attitudes is one iii which the Ontario government plays a big role any pressure for changes in the Canada Student Loan scheme must be based upon ,putting pressure on the Ontario Government. Since Ontario is a “pace setting” province any gains made by Ontario students are almost certain to be reflected in improved circumstances in’ other provinces, so provincial action cannot be interpreted either as “Upper-Canada Selfishness” or as any kind of a threat to the bases of Federation. In th6 long term OFS has no doubt that the present patchwork of student award schemes will have to be replaced by a system of free tuition and living stipends for all who qualify for Post Secondary education. This is so because the present system has so many disincentives built, into it which prevent students from middle and low income backgrounds or students of ‘tmature” years (particularly those with families) from cdntinuing their educations that a vast amc&nt of ability is wasted by not being developed to its potent ial. Since the whole programme of expanded post secondary facilities was designed to increase the pool of hig,hly . educated -people within the population, arid particularly the work force, the logic of the expansion dictates

hits students that some measures be taken to make ecjual accessibility a reality where it is largely a myth. . Happily there are more compelling factors at work than the hope that government will a’ct logically and these are basically of two kinds.

dust clears

In the first place the expansion of post secondary facilities was partially a response to pressure from the public which was reluctant to countenance the continued presentation of Universities as schools for the well-to-do and their progeny. As -the dusts clears from the construct ion of the “new” colleges and Universities; it is becoming obvious that whilst there has been an expansion of Post Secondary op-portunities it is not one that has even begun to meet public demands for equal opportunity. In fact large sections of the population still have a very slim chance of getting to use the facilit,ies for which they have been billed by the tax collectors. Research has tended to show that a major factor in this has been that the loari system acts as a powerful barrier to many who might wish to continue their education, and with interest rates at 11 percent this cannot be attributed-as the authqrs of the COPSE0 report attempted to attribute it to psychological barriers. At the same time the nature of the current inflation is making it more and more difficult for middle income parents to cough up the amounts set down as parental contributions in the OSAP schedules. So the parents of those already in, or expecting to enter, post-secondary institutions plus the great number of those who would like to go themselves or send their children to them, Can be expected to be receptive to the idea of free post-secondary education. The second set of reasons relate to economics; although there is no direct one to one relationship there are obvious links between the enhancement of skills in the populationthrough educationYand the general productivity of society. It was this idea which was important in the expansion of facilities in the sixties and it remains the major reason why so many employers are concerned with education. In the past the problem of providing skilled labour has been greatly mitigated by attracting already skilled immigrants, with the happy result-for Canadathat it has staffed its hospitals with doctors trained by foreign taxpayers and its skilled trades with European apprentices. For a variety of reasons such a situation is not likely to continue and Canad ian training

loan. There are no grants available for pa+ time students as there are under the OSAP loan plan for full-time students. Part-time study is expensive and therefore excludes people with lower incomes especially those with family responsibilities. A 1972 study revealed that 60 percent of parttima students are married and that 80 per cent of those have children. An OFS report, “The crisis in Student Aid” states that part-time students take three to five years to complete a degree and that the debts incurred, as tieI1 as the immediate 11 and one half per cent interest payments become a

significant

burden.

In addition the part-time students loan plan gives no provisions for child-dare, transportation, or other related eipenses Mat are compensated under OSAP. The OFS Sudbury conference unanimously passed a resolution that aconference be set up between Federal and provincial governments, representatives from Part-time students Associations, and OFS to formulate a support scheme that will increase the accessibility of post-secondary education to the surirounding communities through part-time studies. .

Corporations

The difficulti& which stand in the way of a “free” post-secondary system are related both to the snobbery of those who have been through the system-many of whom are reluctant to “devalue” their degrees by seeing the man-or worse’still the woman-next door get one. And of course to the reluctafice of corporations to submit their shareholders to taxation to support the increased costs-this last because it would be both unfair and silly to imagine that “free” education could be based on the present inequitable tax base. Here of course there is something of a paradox because it is-generally speaking-precisely the corporations who reap the dividends of an increasingly skilled work force, which is largely paying for its own training under the present system and which is likely not to keep pace with social demands if post-secondary opportunity is not expanded. So really the corporations should be happy to foot the bill. No discussion of trends within society would be complete without raising the big question, upon which all speculation as to the future ultimately rests. That question is, whettier it is realistic to project, as we have done, continued growth in the economy. For it iS certainly true that the question bf a highly trained pool of people is not going to be an urgent one in a depression, in which, as in the 1930’s, philosophers and plumbers, engineers and sociologists all found jobs difficult to fitid. And it is true all analyses of the situation depend upon projections of an expanding economy. ,,-lrhris

You can appeal

’

Harries, OFS ExecAb

So you did not get enough from OSAP, or worse you got nothing at all. There is still hope because you can appeal. Good grounds for an appeal are exceptional family circumstances which may be either financial‘or psychological, or both. Each case is judged on evidence presented and therefore adequate documentation is very important. To appeal, go and talk to your Student Awards Officer who may be sympatheticto your case. If the problem is financial obtain letters from Bank managers, creditors, or doctbrq which clearly confirm financial problems. Document Income Tzix, family budget, dental and medical bills, all of which are helpftil proof of your case. If the pr_oblem is psychological it is essential40 obtain third party documentation. For instance a personal letter from you which is backed up by a psychiatrist, counsellor, or minister verifying the facts as presented are essential to win your appeal, Certification of your problem by professionals reassures the bureaucracy that your problem is real. The most important thing to remember is that your Awards Officer is the one who makes a recommen-datiqn to the OSAP Review Board. His opinion of you and your case is vital for a successful appeat.

It _ was at these meetings -that the -- general federation-society_felationships were considered to increbe the interactionbetween the fedefaiion and the societies. In addition to being directly often Approachable, -beingavailable in the science society office, I may be reached by mail br by telephone. However, I also feel‘ that, the position should be used as an intermediate between the federation I aed- the society. This ’ is because the position offers a unique possibility, to be able to represent the position of council, which will .- the federation represent the r&t of the miversity , to the s&ence council _ which, with its iepresentativ& from the .-various departments and year groups represents a wide, base input from all science students.

You have come here to learn. Besides knowledge from ’ books, you w,ill learn many things here, including the challenging experience of running yourown life for the first time. You will also meet other things which are not so . wonderful, such as frustration, disappointment, and possibly serious illness. (Two of our students died last year of incurable diseases.) Running your own life for the first time includes taking care of yourself. This is something you cannot leave for others to do. That is a fact of life. For starters, (and it’s easy), you can read Health Services booklet “The People Place”. It is about you; it is for you. It is important because you ‘are important.

Hollow Crown In the programme to The Hollow Crown, mounted Monday afternoon before a packed Humanities Theatre house, the “enshow was termed an - tertainment by and about the Kings and Queens of England”. Personally, I would call it a “royal treat”. Not only was it about the British monarchy and its incumbents since 1066, but it ‘1 conveyed, through the style and finesse of the Royal Shakespeare Company performers, a sense of theatre which was truly, and in more ways than one, “fit for a king”. No doubt much of the success of the venture was due to the intelligence and design of its creator, John Barton,? Hisrealized intention to create an

the undeniably controv”ersia1 aspects of the subject. To accomplish his end, he culled annals ranging from the AngloSaxon Chronicle to the views of a self -designed ‘ ‘partial, prejudiced and ignorant historian”Jane Austen at age fifteen, and songs from old ballads to the lay of the pragmatic Vicar of Bray, to come up with a collection which, although full of the foibles and of monarchs, mainI fallibility tained a detachment which enhanced, rather than attenuated, respect for the inContributing to the stitution. detachment inherent in any theatrical spectacle, the clue to this process of awe-inspiration may have been the unassimilably diverse‘ nature of the wor.ds and

works themselves. We were given reports of monarchy from every conceivable angle and every possible point of view. The work’s continuity was, therefore, dependent less upon its sequential historical format than upon an attentian to, and care to express the gamut of responses and motivations of which man is capable. The ground bass was provided by Shakespeare’s lines from Richard II, which opened the play and from which its title was taken: “ . ..for God’s sake, let us sit upon the ground and tell sad stories of the death of kings... for within the hollow crown that rounds the mortal temples of a king keeps Death his court; there the antic sits, scoffing his state and grinding at his pomp...“. This dark underlying theme of mortality added light and lambency to those of the anec’ dotes and sketches which were witty or droll, while never losing sight of the fact that this history is radically a serious and edifying

spectacle. It would be hard to imagine a‘ company better suited to carry out Barton’s design than that assembled under the Royal Shakespeare Company’s banner. So well did they mold their deliverance to the many roles that in they undertook favorite recollection it is characterizations and sketches, rather than specific players, that come to mind. The graceful Miss Scales j for instance, remains in memory not as a lithe, chiffonclad figure, but as an impetuous Jane Austen, exercising her nineteenth-century and - fifteen‘year-old prerogative to view history as she pleased, and to express‘ her view in gleefully blatant defiance of the solemn dictates of the Tudor myth, or the view of her elders. Her words may have come as a surprise to high-school students in the audience, reared to think of her as connected with a narrower, more confined sphere of in-

volvement. Yet the style vGas certainly that of Austen. The example indicated a remarkably early development of her characteristic uncompromisingly clear observation of human affairs and of her abihty to genteelly strip away decorous forms to get at weak foundations. Here she satirically exposes the ambivalence and _ questionable truth of the Tudor myth through an enthusiastically -biased expression of its polar opposite. How else could one-state that the beheaded Edward VI would have been happy in death could he but have known that his mode of execution was the same as that imbosed upon the great, the noble, and the true Mary, Queen of Scats, the tale of the responsibility for whose deaththe damnable, the traitorous and most wicked Elizabeth Tudorhistory shall ever blush to report? Perhaps the truth lies somewhere between Austen and the myth history has created. However that may’ be, such writings give a delightful human insight into the difference between “history” as *written, and “history” as lived. As I understand her, Fanny Burney was a personality somewhat similar -to Jane Austen. Her Diaries, at least, reveal a comparably clear vision and lucid style. Yet Miss Scales . did not give us a mere repeat performance of Austen in her revival of Burney. Instead, in the visit of .George III to the youthful authoress of Evklina there were; I might swear, two entirely different persons present. One, a bulbous -hefty German of Hanoverian descent and guttural diction, confidentially expressed his incredulity at the renown of that terrible Shakespeare, whose burden of dreadful plays he, personally, could not abide. The other, a young and rather embarrassed girl, deferred assent to the judgement of her monarch with the diplomatic observation that, despite the bad, there was nonetheless much good to be _ found in the Bard’s works, if one I’ but looked. But enough of Miss Scale’s characterizations. The difficulty in appreciations such as this one is that those who saw the per_ formance don’t have to be told of its excellence, and those who didn’t probably don’t care. Suffice it to say that the four actors, Richard Todd (of the long-running TV series Robin Hood), Hugh Sullivan, Clifford Rose, and the musician Martin Best gave performances on a par with their female colleague, _ possessed of fluidity of character-transition, distinguished by concentration and teaming ,of effort, and remarkable in their obvious interest in the matter presented. ’ The set and lighting effects were excellent. Though designed for expedience and expedition of transit, they succeeded in conveying regality and style as well as austerity (Canadian Opera Company, take note). Attention was centred on the five red throne-chairs, starkly backed ’ by black panels, and fronted by a baronial-typetable. Lighting was used to accentuate the tenor of the individual performances. Given the successful mating of _ style with content, the finale, with its -highlight, Queen Victoria’s reading of her coronation day diary, was no doubt intentionally juxtaposed to an ominously darkening stage. No longer does the sun never set ’ upon the Queen’s vast empire. . .

OTTAWA (CUP)-RCMP riot squad officers forced close to 300 militant Indian demonstrators off Parliament .Hill late today (Sept. 30) in the second pitched battle between the two groups. The riot squad appeared from nowhere and forced the demonstrators back down the steps they had w,on in a previous battle, off the Hill, out onto Metcalfe Street and back to Indian headquarters. During the skirmish riot squad officers pushed‘ people off the stone wall on top of the Hill, a fifteen foot drop, and down the stairs using their ‘clubs liberally on demonstrators as well as bystanders. Earlier in the day the Indians ‘-marched from an abandoned government building eight blocks below Parliament Hill, up Rideau Street to the Hill before being met by a solid wall of RCM P officers and a wooden barricade. The Indians fought the RCMP for about 20 feetbefore they were stopped. RCM P officers kicked protestors in the groin and ganged up on individual \ In: dians who broke through the lines. One hundred soldiers armed with bayonets provided the colour guard for Parliament and later a back up for the RCMP. The Indians remained on the Hill beating their drums, singing and making speeches for about two hours while Parliament was in session. They booed the army band pla$ng 0 Canada and Chief J{ustice Bora Laskin when he appeared to ,review the guard, after the session ended. Violence erupted again when -the RCMP started pushing people off the steps of the House of Commons.’ Then the riot squad appeared and ordered everyone off the Hill. The Indians fought back throwing bottles, and sticks. rocks, During the fighting Don Whiteside of the Canadian Federation of Civi I Liberties was beaten by riot police as he tried to explain who he was. “For the riot police to come in people inand beat discriminately is inexcusable,” Whiteside said. Charlotte McEwan, ’ an elderly Ottawa activist, was also pushed to the ground by the police rush. “They were pushing everybody down those steps and’ you know what 20 concrete steps can do. There were quite a few bloody faces,” she said. Bob Buckingham, National Union /of Studentsorganizer and a participant in the demonstration said, “I think it’s a disgrace. It’s symtomatic of the way the Indian in this country is treated by the white man’s government.” He was disgusted that no member of Parliament came out to talk to the demonstrators and Chief Justice Bora Laskin did not even acknowledge their presence. He went back to lodge- a complaint with his member of Parliament and discovered that all the MPs were “hobnobbing and having a booze party,” in the Parliament buildings. ’ Indian leaders were not available-for comment as they their had returned to headquarters for a‘ private
