T.A. bugs, r ‘stud’ents . Students at the University of Waterloo School of Optometry have confirmed rumours that electronic eavesdropping devices had been planted in laboratory training rooms, as investigation on Monday uncovered a microphone and transmitter skillfully disguised as a photographic flashgun and hidden in a piece of machinery. As well, moments after students directly addressed the microphone with a comment on the low status of this invasion of privacy, a graduate teaching assistant and evaluater of these students, Hugh McDonald, appeared and promptly removed the bug. When confronted, the teaching assistant only offered an oblique explanation of the bug’s presence by a reference to his need for unbiased comments. In addition, students have heard the broadcast voices of their classmates coming from the same teaching assistant’s room. McDonald was later seen removing another microphone from another room. Subsequent riivestigation has been characterized by extreme reluctance on the part of students to volunteer information for fear of reprisal and further inconsistencies on the part of non students connected with the school. However these facts have emerged; Hugh McDonald, the T. A. involved, has confirmed that he had built and placed the microphones himself, and that-he and another assistant would test the system by monitoring students through the combined receivertape recorder built on to this system.

ficers. The naturalists go out on field work and collect the information about the parks which the interpreters analyse and write about. There are apparently an increasing number of national parks in Canada and 150 permanent staff in this area of research. Jobs in public administration are also available to graduates with any other degrees. This is the only department where an examination is required in order to tone down the number of applicants. Many people in administration will not only work in Canada but may also enter the foreign service and go to different countries on a diplomatic basis.

Several other more unconven. tional methods of transporting liquid natural gas were mentioned, including submarines, dirigibles, or air transports which would be three , time’s the size of 5 747 jumbo jet. However, Rohmer’s perspective on the subject of energy yas distinctly not futuristic. He failed to make any reference to the inescapable fact that oil and natural gas are non-renewable sources; instead, he repeatedly emphasized Canada’s need to be self-sufficient in oil and gas supplies, a rather ’ short-sighted attitude to take. It was left up to one of his fellow speakers, Earl R. Mitchell, Head of the Canadian Combustion Research Laboratory, Dept. of Energy, Mines and Resources, Ottawa, to discuss the concept of limited resources and the ‘eventual exhaustion of all supplies, Canadian or otherwise. Rohmer seemed to project a rather self-contradictory attitude towards those other owners of massive oil and gas resources, the Arabs. At one point he referred to the Arabs’ “ruthless exploitation” of the Western World’s need for energy as he called for Can_ada to become self-sufficient. Later, he called for a removal of the 15% withholding tax for the purpose of encouraging Arab investment money in Canada! Rohmer’s undeniable assertion that high energy use and needs form the basis of today’s society, combined with his total omission of any suggestion of a change in lifestyle, serves as an ironic illustration of a joke related by Mr. Mi;tchell. This joke pointed out that the dinosaur was an animal with a very high energy-consuming superstruc, ture and a relatively low brain mass/energy consumption ratio, and that man, when surrounded by one of his energy-consuming superstructures, the car, has an even lower brain massjenergy consumption ratio. And we all know what happened to the dinosaur! \ ,

So you can choose the right one for your needs. Well protected, you’ll, prove to the others you’re the best you can be. .

standard fluctuates from day to day, although it is reasonably close. The purpose of this, of course, is so the advance person is no/t observed at his task, which would thereby tend to lessen the credibility of the exercise. In some groups, these signs are, very effective. But,be warned that not everyone in a university setting is complacent, and obedient to f-W signs., Your group might discover, as they converge on the spot, with their trays, that the signs are still in place (perhaps),,hut the chairs are now occupied by some of the more radical element of the student body. If, however, you find that the chairs have been left empty, your group quickly occupies them, saying, quite loudly, “We’ll just eat quick, before the Dean gets here!” Upon leaving, you\do not take the signs. These,are to be picked up _ later, as if the Dean and his party were unable to make it or had al\ ready been, earlier in the day. One further word of caution, to . those of you using this method; if you find the chairs occupied by a group of well-dressed men, in suits and.ties, look for other accommodations. The second method involves one reconnaisance person, who’s job is to proceed ahead of the main group, with the purpose of securing chairs enough, while the rest of the group goes through the line. One of the persons in the main, group should take the recon person’s money, in order to buy whatever he/she wishes. When the group comes through the line, they will find that there are chairs waiting for them, together. It should be understood that there will be many other people prekeding the group through the line, And that these people will also \ be desiring chairs, and, since they will be wanting to sit in the chairs being saved for your group, some preparation should be made for this eventuality. One method is to take coat, purse, satchel, books, anything, from each member of the grovp, and make the area look occupied. If this cannot be done, you will have to come up with some line that is fairly effective in warding off would-be-neighbours. One means is to have a drama student for the recon position. When someone- tries to sit down, she holds up her hand, and says, very Swedish-ly, “I vant to be a-lone ! ’ ’

However, since this method might result in ‘the rapid loss of chairs, it is suggested that a more typically Canadian way be implemented. This simply entails the use of a determined scowl, and one word, “TAKEN!!!” ’ If you should happen upon another group trying this, when you drop in by yourself, or when there is no open area, you might quickly point out to thecrecon person that he/she kindly relinquish his/her, seat to someone who requires it for that purpose. If-you be chosen for the recon position, therefore, be sure that you take an apple or orange to prevent this occurence. The next method is to be used in the event that your group can secure one chair less than is required. One of the group, preferably an extroverted female, hangs back, while the chairs are occupied by the rest of the group. In a few minutes, she strolls by, and strikes up a conversation, throwing in a few comments about how she was sick that

- Historic -rtde comes at last to the Party The Italian Communist Party’s (PCI) recent tentative discussion of the “historic compromise”-of a parliamentary accommodation with the Christian Democrats and their coalition allies-is consistent with a strategy of transition, not of rupture. In any new elections the PCI, on the evidence of the Sardinian elections earlier this year, will expect to improve its support from its constant level of around one-third of the electorate. The PCI is deeply entrenched in local government, and the period of relative decline in industrial and intellectual support which, in the Italian “May” of 1968-9 and its aftermath, reflects difficulties in relations with the proletariat and in formulating a coherent political line, has been arrested and reversed. The PCI is well placed to conduct “its struggle for socialism, democracy, and national autonomy on the terrain of the republican constitution for which the partisans fought against fascism.

. k

There are long-term arguments for “compromise”, however anxious anti-Communists may be in the short term to implicate the PCI in the economic spoliation of the country and to corrupt its leaders, turn them into placemen as has happened to the socialists of the PSI. Gramsci argued that Italian socialism would complete the incomplete bourgeois revolution,thus enforcing the end of-the North’s exploitation of an internal, semi-feudal cotony-Southern Italy. It would eradicate the bourgeois compromise with clericalism, and with fascism-a State-run and licensed mafia, now become ‘a shining example to the mafiosi!

Secondly, the existence of a neo-fascist movement which can dominate elements of the armed forces and security services, win a ’ third of the vote in some Southern ‘cities, and fqster in university faculties-notably law and economicsis a constant threat to the democratic and non-violent tactics of the mass left: The mass support for the neo-fascists (MSI) can be seen variously as a protest vote against professional (and especially Roman) politicians, or as the‘ manipulated “centrism” Iof “law-and-order”,“silent majority” proto- fascism. The vote against abrbgation of a (very limited) divorce law was also a vote against the MS,I, and one whic_h ran consistently against the neo-fascists in their areas of most recent success. The real danger to the left, however, continues to come from ruling-class subversivism. The terrorists of the neo-fascist cells are increasingly moving to nazism, and away from the “national” fascism which called for a Gaullist-style presidential . republic and celebrated the few hours of the Italian army’s resistance to Nazi Germany as a vindication of national honour. A crumbling and compromised Christian Democratic administration faced with a coup from its “own” State organs would expose a left perilously unprotected. Thirdly, the struggle,to win a pa& liamentary majority for the PCI is a long-term project-one which does not reflect the peaking of shortr;lnge,’ conjunctural crisis. In a sense, given traditional fears,, loyalities, particularism and so _,forth, the PCI has to be the “gov-

The budget of the federation exceeds $250,000 per year. The activities and the finances of the Federation make it an active and vibrant organization. The sole criterion for a functioning and responsive federation is student involvement. One of the areas where the federation is deficient is the one-to-one communication with the average student. Having been a member of the working force before coming to university, I kfiow what it is like to I be uninformed. Barb Innes 1st Year Renison College

At times like this one wishes he had the wisdom of Solomon and the eloquence of Churchill when one appeals for your support. Unfortunately lacking both, I’ll appeal for your support, Hart fashion. The reason why I am letting my name stand is that I believe in Renison and the Renison Students. I believe they have a voice that should be heard. Unfortunately, I feel this voice has mellowed to a squeek. But this year this voice can be revived. As we all know Renison’s enrolment has increased and I hope that it will continue to do so, but this will only be possible if the Students take an active interest in their College and the activities which are offered. I am appealing for your co-operation, your help and for your voice. And so I am leaving you with this ndte, you only will get out of anything (and especially College) what you put into it.

morning, and has been feeling poorly ever since. At an opportune moment, she swoons, preferably over the shoulder of the guy occupying the desired seat. ,The person occupying said seat Ray or may not notice this, and so it is suggested,that she make sure that her hair falls over whatever he is eating or drinking. The rest of the group, of course, goes immediately along with the act, with comments like, “Grab her!“, “What’s wrong?“, and, the key one, “Get her a seat!” At this, the guy occupying the desired seat is asked to give up his seat for her. From this point, it’s all downhill: she makes a bit of a recovery, but not too much, too quickly, since the previous occupant must be given enough time to consider sitting elsewhere. It is suggested that the guy picked have only a cup of coffee, or a donut, which he can pick up quickly, without too much inconvenience, in order to change seats. It is even more desirable that he be alone, giving him less reason to want to retain the specific seat. The fainter, meanwhile, is being dutifully attended to by her friends, who give her something to eat and drink, “ ..to get her strength back..“, and ,which they oddly enough had an excess of on their trays. Of course, there are probably many other methods of reaching the same objective, but the aforementioned are just a few of the simpler ones. It goes without saying that they are very inconsiderate and rude, so it becomes necessary, when making use of such, to incorporate some-basic psychology into your actions, and rationalize, “I can go to charm school to learn manners;\ I go to the cafeteria to eat!”

InditZns f orma- I , native. ’ a.* , em,basw ’

The Indians barricaded the only entrance to the occupied armouries The RCMP, however, patrolled the road often parking at the barrica,de

Last weekend, chevron reporters, Sylvia and Randy Hannigan went to Ottawa to visit the embassy that the Indian people have , established and talked to some of the people occupying the embassy. When the Native People’s Caravan left Vancouver several weeks ago to journey to their destination of Ottawa, the financial support for the trip was very limited. At each city they went through, the caravan managed to raise enough funds to get them to the next stop. Upon arriving in Ottawa, and enduring the battle on parliament hill, the Indians proceeded to occupy \an abandoned armories which was situated just below parliament hill on an island. This was the first step in establishing the Indian People’s Embassy. Four days after the initial demonstration and occupation, there was little indication on parliament hill that the Indians were still there. However, upon approaching the only road that leads to the embassy one notices the presence of several members of the RCMP, both uniformed and plainsclothes patrolling the road. There was no difficulty, however, passing the patrols, and the Indians passed freely in and out of the embassy, presumably as long as there weren’t too many in one group. ’ The RCMP, though were not the only ones concerned with security, the Indianswere just as concerned with keeping’ RCMP undercover agents out. Reporters and photographers were also discouraged from entering the embassy, since the press had-given the embassy several bad reports. The security arrangements were strict at the embassy, upon entering everyone, including Indians, signed in and if you weren’t a member of the embassy the person on duty asked several questions. The first time we arrived at the embassy a non-Indian person was on duty at the door and he asked us what we wanted, or if we were looking for someone. When we explained that we wanted to talk to some of the people of the embassy, we were taken to a nearby security room. The first person that we talked to was an Indian named Vern Harper. Harper had travelled with the caravan to Ottawa but was soon going to leave the embassy and join his wife and two children who had left

the embassy earlier. Harper felt that the activists, (Harper is a member of the Communist Party of Canada, Marxist-Leninist) should go back to the communities and reservations and leave the embassy to those who believed in it. We asked Harper for an analysis of the events during the past few weeks and in particular the demonstration on parliament hill. Harper stressed that the demonstration on Monday was a great victory for the Indians, because it showed the RCMP for what they really are. Harper stated their actions were historically consistent since the RCMP was originally founded to assure that the white fur traders and settlers had no problems with the Indians. This hostility has never been lost according to Harper and the few Indians that have joined the RCMP are harder on their own kind since they are trying to prove themselves. When asked to what extent the CPCML has been accepted by the Indians, Harper stated that dueto the educational system, the Indians are taught to despise communism since it deprives them of the land, the acceptance of the CPCML has been slow. The Indians have been taught to love the land and therefore to do anything to protect that land. This applied to the Korean War when the Indians had the highest rate of volunteerism among all

. the minority groups. When asked about the future of the Indian movement, Harper predicted that there would be an increase in native peoples movement and that the jails would be emptied of drunks and would be filled with political prisoners. The& is a swelling of native people’s pride and that this will h&p the Indians unite and fight the oppression. Harper though was one of the few activists at the embassy, since Cameron and &hers had gone home: and left the embassy for those who wanted to support it. When we talked to some of the other Indians at the embassy and

in an attempt to keep out t‘he RCMP. to observe the embassy.

asked them for their opinion of the CPCML-. they stated that they didn’t -agree with it and some hadn’t even heard of the party. They stated that in any case Harper did not speak for the rest of the Indians and that perhaps the CPCML had hurt their cause more than helped it. No one, however, was too harsh on anyone else since they all knew that something had to be done.. The Indians, especially the younger ones are getting impatient with the bureaucrats in the government and want to force some action out of the government. Some of the Indians are trying to get support to keep the embassy

open for at least a year and have the embassy recognised as the official embassy representing the Indians. There ware approximately one hundred Indians living at the embassy last weekend, with many being forced to stay there due to a lack of funds to return home. For the present time however, the embassy will struggle on and try td wrn some recognition from the government. Meanwhile the activists will be trying to win support back on the reservations and in the communities to help them in the cause of gaining complete independence from government jurisdiction.

One of the salient facts that emerged from the election is that housing supply is an area that the system cannot manage anymore. Not only that, but everybodypoliticians and public-seem to know it. Thus, while a lot was said and written about housing during the campaign, it really didn’t become an issue. Pierre Trudeau cast several pearls during his speeches which not only proved his own contention that this campaign was to be more irrational than the last, but also indicated that things were going to get worse before they get worse still. Even David Lewis’s proposal to build the New Jerusalem with a mortgage rate set at six percent got very little play. Trudeau told a breathless nation that he had asked the Canadian banks to provide 95-percent mortgages to people seeking to buy low-priced homes, while those buying more expensive homes will have to raise a down payment of at least 25 percent. A good idea except that nobody can- define, let alone try to find, a “low-priced home” and even if anyone could, he couldn’t find a bank that would lend a prospective home buyer more than a 70-percent mortgage on anything. Banks, you see, are in the business to’make money,‘not solve housing crises. Another proposal of the Prime Minister’s was to expand the Assisted Home Ownership Program to allow families earning up to $15,000 to buy a home without committing more than 22 percent of their income on mortgage payments. If this family can find the elusive “low-priced home” it can become eligible for some sort of subsidy on its mortgage and a grant of up to $600 a year. A good deal, except subsidizbd interest rates are of little benefit if mortgage loans period are drying up as they are now. Trudeau also promised an outright grant of $500 to first-time buyers toward the down payment on _ their “low-priced” home. Where are these “low-priced homes”? Nobody quite seems to know. The Liberals claim that th&r grant would apply to almost 66,000 new homes being built this year, but they don’t say where. Homes which fall within the definition of “low-priced” literally do not exist in the urban areas of Canada where, incidentally, the housing crisis exists. In his campaign, Robert Stanfield promised. a tax rebate to everyone paying mortgage rates in excess of eight percent, in effect forcing the public purse to pay for the usury being charged by the banks..And the NDP said that since the bulk of the bank’s money is paid for at 4.7 percent, they should be forced to supply mortgage money to families+earning up to $15,000 at 6 percent. The Liberals countered these promises by saying that making ,mortgage interest rates lower and easier tp come by would simply encourage people to buy houses, thus driving the prices higher. Aside from the simple problem that half of the Liberal housing policy contradicts the other half-gimmicks which are supposed to help and encourage people to buy a home are counter-balanced by high interest rates designed to drive people away from the market-the more complex problem is that despite everything, the old free market idea appears to be riding high again. It hasn’t happened often, but th’ere have been times when John Turner has ready one of his pronouncements and one got the fleeting impression that the Minister of Finance actually understood what he was talking about. One such moment came at a press conference the morning after the May 6 budget was defeated. The proposition Turner was defending on this occasion concerned a tax write-off for anyone who could save $1,000 a year over a ten-year period and who would then apply the $10,000 saved to the purchase of his first house. Appar‘ently ad-libbing, Turner praised the inherent worth of the tax provision, and also added that his proposal would reduce the demand for housivg, the rationale being that everybody would be saving his thousand a year and thus wouldn’t be in the market until he had the Big Ten, or Big Twenty in the case of a married couple. The proposal, of course, ignores the probable price of real estate in 1984 and what $10,000 is likely to buy then, amongother things. But beyond that, the essential element in Turner’s reasoning is that housing is a commodity like any other, to be subjected to the exigencies of the free-enterprise system. In this regard, Turner was merely expressing the conventional wisdom of government economists, and accepting at face value the central myth that the dismal science has presented to the layman: the myth of the market. It is supposed to work something like this:supply and demand sit on opposite ends of the teeter-totter, and the price rolls in between defying gravity. When demand goes up the price goes up and capital flows iti that direction, and then pretty soom the supply goes up and whoopee! The balance is altered. The function of government is to add weight, by any number of financial . 1 . I - . 1 / ?.‘, .,,I /t ~I.IIj . L ; .-continued , i .w; 2 i * i on* ‘rpage I I I ,10, , .

And it is presumably the function of . -nomists to figure out the gimmicks, the function of public-relations men to give the gimmicks a name and the function of socio. logists to determine the social needs the gimmicks fulfill+st to give the whole operatidn a bit of class. Anpay, that is the way’ it is supposed to work. . Thereare, however, some problenis. In the last session of I parliament, NDP -housing critic Ed . Broadbent tried to hamtier away at housing policies. “Liberal and Conservative governments,“-he saicii “have never seen housing as a-b-sic social right. Instead they have viewed ,it as being -- simply another consumer good whose price + should fluctuate ,according to the whimsof the market ptace.” This principle, according _ to Broadbent, has been served by two approaches Housing construction has b&n used as a lever to expand or ,contr&t the economy in general. We are trained. to see housing . starts as one of ‘the indicators of our . economy and by the same token one of the means by which the government can influence economic stability.’ Housing as a social need, and its availability and cost to the public, are incidental. The s&ond approach is-an immutable law of private ownership of land,-one of the r&ults of which is that a government must rely upon incentives to get anything built. There is also a third axiom: ‘public housing, like fluoridation, is a commie plot to destroy neighbourhoods and is fit only-. - for degenerates, hippies, homosexuals and people who spit. in haliways and bur;n .gatbage in sinks. -‘,

+~’ One expert estimated that the piice of * residential real estate was rising at- a rate of $4 an hour. _ ment diddting about with any number of incentive program5 we not only have too -- few’and too expensivehomes but we find the whole area dluttered and-confused by language and statistics that only economists pretend to understand.For example, let irs examine an aspect of the current housing situation in the Toronto area, which from all indications is typical of Canada’s urban areas. Btick in 1966, when the Toronto Real Estate Board began keeping t@dk of house prices, the average resale price was around _ $22,000.~ In’ the spring of 1974, when p.roper’ty values had skyrocketed to the point that the Real Estate Board decided, out of either>embarassment or panic, n’bf to - release monthly resale figures any more, the average resale ‘price of a home\ hit $57,461-up 37 percent from only a year - earlier. One expert estimated that the price of residential real estate was, rising at_ a rate of $4 an hour. ’ The big news of June 1974 was a decline of almost $1,300 .in the resale price of homes,’ a sluggishneqs of the market reflected in the growing number of unsold houses and pr&dictions that prices will continue to drop. Does this sluggishness in-the market and small decline in prices, with t,he promise of deeper cuts in store, mean ihat Canada’s _I worst housing crisis since the’end of World War II is abating? It does not New housing starts iii 19T4 are now estimated to be five to ten percent lower than they were in 1973. The vacancy rate of. apartments-is af less than one percent and apartment-house construction is declining. . Apartment rents are rising rapidly and the big increases are yet to corn&One of the big operators . in - the field, Bertrani Willoughby, said thisspring when discussing the plans tif Toronto lairdlords: “And if they hit the public hard this year jwhich.they are going to do-they are doing it right now+ $hirslr+Qey af&snly #~&gto,

will be a decreased rate of starts of rental apartments in the Toronto area -and this will bolster the rental market.“.. , . _ High interest rates have also caused the sluggishness in. the -@me resale market. Bank interest rates have risen twelve times in thepast year, and with the Bank of Montreal’s late-June annountieme’nt of an 11 ?&percent prime interest rate, mdrtgages hover around 13 percent, when they can be got at all. One. Toronto-based trust company ha$ put a ceiling of $40,000 on first mortgages with a commitment-that they will not be ‘$&I for yore fhan 70 percent of the appraised value or sale price of the property, whichever is less. Thus, even with ‘prices showing a slight decline (an indication that the individual vendor who is . either tgking a flyer on the inflated market --or trying to get-out from under is getting it in the teeth) the actual cost of buying a house has increased. A larger down payment is reqvired, and “even with a $10,000 to $20,000 down payment the ,buyer still has to shouldec a mortgage of $30,000 to $40,000, which’ means several thousand dollars a year in interest payments. Small wonder- that real-estate .agents report an extraordinary number of --purchase agreements coming unglued this summer. So in influencing the so-called free market by making money available fqr moflgages and alrowing mortgage rates to 1 rise as an inducement governments have in fact made the situation worse. Ironically, during thea election campaign Prime b~Minister,~T’rudeau boasted.that‘;the-smatd

But it does .seein’to b& coming, out in bigger and bigger spurts, Between 1963 and 1973 the proportion of general loans of under $100,000 declined fro-m 19.3 percent to 9.3 percent, while! huge loans of $5 million or more have-increased from 814 percent to 22.2 percent. It would be very interesting to know how much of th?. mortgage money go& to individual residential purchases and how much goes in large-chunks to the giant developers and speculators who have tied up almost all the available land around Canada’s urban _ , areas. ~ ’ Enhancing the attractiveness of mortgage investment; One day in July, the Toronto Globe and Ulail posed a question: “What kind of a loan shark requires$16,46726 interest to pay off $1,532.74 principal?” Answer: oiJr friendly banks and mortgage tiompan ies. An average Canadian, according to the Globe and Mail, Yborrows $3O,ooO to finahce th3 purchase of a house. He’ pays interest on the loan at 11.5 --percent and his payments are amortized over 25 years. “During the first Ifive years the monthly payments are $300, for a total of !ils;ooQ~ fiJut only 8 percent of the payments will go toward retiring the principal during those first years.” Incide+ally, in Toronto the average mo$gage@ $35,OOO and the interest rate in 1973 was 12 percent and higher. _ Enhancing the attractiveness of mortgage investtient. High interest rates hit everyone except the lenders and it is a lovely situation if one happens to be lender, +land ; speculator, rdevelOper; .and .owner

_ empires. The growth .of development companies has been one of the finanbial phenomena of the past decade or so. Trizec, the largest developer in Canada, was form&d in 1960 -! as a joint venture of the British Eagle Star insurance group and the now bankrupt -American developer Webb and Knapp. Its assets in 1965 were $&$& million; by 1.972 they were $516 million. Cadillac Development was created in the _mid1 sixties out of a? amalgamation of 29 different compan’ies all own&d by -the same people,-and it had assets of $272 million in 1971. It’s board of &rectors is typical among major development companies in that it contains representatives of the major banking and financial in?stitutions as well as the major construction equipkent ‘and supply companies. These-huge development companies are not only integrated with the major financial and-comm&ciaI institutions in Canada, but they have also increasingly become con- duits for foreign capital.

Undergraduates may now borrow library materials on interlib’ rary loan from any Canadian university. It was agreed by the Canadian Association of’ College and University Libraries at its 1974 conference to provide the service on an experimental basis for the year 1974-75. For the past two years, interlibrary loan service was available to undergraduates only for materials in Ontario universities. Certain kinds of materials (reserve books, entire volumes of periodicals, rare or fragile material) will continue to be unavailable on any interlibrary loan service.

On Monday night at St. Jerome’s, Dr. Hart Bezner gave a talk on “Abortion and Social Justice’“. This is a very controversial issue and Dr. Bezner stated at the beginning that he was against abortion. He put forward the idea that the main reason a woman decides to. have her baby aborted is because it is unwanted-it is not in most cases, a decision between bearing a deformed child or for a matter of -extreme -health reasons which could cause her death. In his discussion he said that there was “no scientific fact to dispute that the unborn has life at the moment of dispute lies in, de. conception-the tiding whether the unborn is a person”. He pointed out that a woman was not legally a person in Canada until 1929. Legally, a baby is not a person until it emerges from the womb and is free from the mother. “However,” he stated, “psychologically it is a person” \ and has a separate distinct personality. To corroborate his statement he spoke about some of the distinctive points in the development of the unborn baby while it is in the / womb. Be-zner said that within the first twenty minutes after conception the genetic pattern which will determine the sex and characteristics of the child have begun. After one hour it has been determined. By the time a woman suspects that she is pregnant, the baby is at least two .weeks old and the earliest that ‘a doctor can confirm the pregnancy is at 6-8 weeks after conception.

Thousands of dollars are needed ’ to continue the work of the vision care project of the UW School of Optometry. The project is presently funded thr,ough the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) of the Department of External Affairs, living expenses from the country involved, donations from service clubs and a ~ $1000 grant from the federation of students. Teams of fourth year students and practising optometrists are sent to remote and underdeveloped areas such as Northern Ontario, British Columbia, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, as well as the Caribbean, to act as primary health contact. The teams screen and examine as many people as possible for eye disease and institute preventive cure. They also have started a training programme for I teachers, volunteer and community workers, which in turn enables these people to conduct screening tests, and dispense or repair spectacles within their own communities. During last summer’s project in the Caribbean, one team - discovered a blind 13 year old girl named _ Bonnie Lynn Chamber in need of cornea transplant surgery. Edward Fisher, director of the School of Optometry, contacted the Willowdale Rotary Club who flew her to Toronto to undergo surgery in July. She was then released from hospital in September with 20-40 vision and returned to her home in Antigua. The School of Optometry has had requests for a more thorough coverage in the Caribbean as well as instituting new projects in Guatemala and Nigeria. Viktor Huiailes, a project participant, said to the chevron, “We screened over 35,000 people with 11% of those screened were provided with spectacle correction. This is high in comparison to other studies.” However, as Fisher said, “In order to expand the budget, we must find new sources to do so.

Rec’ords.Lennon getting better Walls and Bridges ’ John Lennon Apple SW 3416 John Lennon has finally released a good album. After a long tide of “political” songs and little love ditties for Yoko, Walls and Bridges once again establishes John Lennon as a fine, musician, arranger, producer, and composer. The line-up of musicians on the albvm is impressiveNicky Hopkins on piano, Elton John on organ and piano, Jim Keltner on drums, Jesse Ed Davis on lead guitar, and Klaus Voorman on bass guitar. The music often resembles Motown music which was one of the key ingredients of early Beatle mu’sic.. The first cut Goin’ Down on Lo1.e opens the album with Davis’ funky guitar and the motor city electric piano of Ken Ascher. The song reflects his feelings on the loss of his wife Yoko: When the real thing goes wsong, And yorr can’t get it on; And yorlr lo\le she has gone. The next song Whate\Ter Gets your tlzrw the Night carries on in’the same theme. Elton John bops with Lennon on this fast moving . tune in a duet with Lennon. It’s the most commercial cut and also Lennon’s new single. The best song on the album is NO. 9 Dream which is about the Beatles. The steady flowing melody reminds one of the music on the Beatles’ album Abbey Road. The middle eight bar sounds alot likeHarrison’s work on All things Mlrst Pass. One disappointing aspect of Lennon’s album is the lack of good lyrics. The lyrics Lennon wrote when he was .with the Beatles \ established him as one of the most important poets to come out of the sixties. For some reason his lyrics deteriorated quickly after the Beatles broke up. The best lyr,ics on the album are found in Steel and Glass: Your teeth are clean and your mind is cap-

ped, Your lea\qe your smell like an alley cat. Another complaint I have about this album is that you never clearly hear Lennon’s voice because it’s .either double tracked, overdubbed or put through an echo chamber. The album’s last song Nobody Lol’es You is a fairly good song about loneliness and growing old. But compared to the sophistication and lyricism of Eleanor Rigby, Nobody Loves You sounds rather mediocre. Walls and Bridges is a good album cbmpared to the music that frequents AM and FM radio waves. You can listen to both sides _ without being bored or disgusted and the album is better than anything he has done for the past three years but when compared to his work with the Beatles one is disappointed. The album is worth your time and money if you liked the Beatles and have,enjoyed -John Lennon’s music’ but don’t expect anything mind blowing. -mike gordon

Talking to Plantsb

Wildlife Management Canadian Wildlife and Man Anne lnnis Dagg McClelland and Steward Canadian Wildlife and Man was written, accoiding to the author, because of the lack of information concerning wildlife management in Canada. Thus it was written as an overview of the total scope of the subject, starting with an archeological history of early man and wildlife in Canada and progressing to the ecolqgical problems encountered in transporting oil from the arctic. The author relies heavily on Canadian source material and the various chapters are fairly heavily footnoted which no doubt will open up much material to persons who otherwise would not come into contact with it. This book deals with almost every facet of wildlife management-the use of pesticides and their effect on the various wildlife forms is discussed, the exploitation of the wildlife by the early fur traders is traced and the effects . of the increasing urbanization and industrialization on the wildlife of Canada is discussed. One of the mbre important aspects of the book, and one which probably puts this book into the handbook category, is the use of many facts and figures which are used in __ arguments for or against certain m&agement practices. If one wants to know how many beaver were killed in a certain area during a ten year period, or how many acres of forest in Ontario was subjected to pesticides, then this book will provide these answers. The book lacks illustrations except for one map, but this does not adversely affect the quality of the book. This book is recommended for reference on the subject of the management of Canadian wildlife and is probably worth the ten dollars that the publishers are asking. Perhaps if one waits a while it will be published in paperback and the price will be lowered. -randy

Neil Young. \ On the Beach Neil Young-Early and Recent Since his days. with the Buffalo Springfield Neil Young has made seven albums on his own. Each one has been a unique production in which he uses his talents to play ‘downhome music’ that includes everything from folk songs and blues to country-rock. The unifying theme of each album is his wish to live his own life, away from the presa sures of capitalist society. Probably his least known works are his first album entitled Neil Young and the most recent recording, On the Beach. The first album, Neil Young has a beautifully painted cover depicting Neil Young with an upside down city on his shirt and a background behind him of a country sunset. This probably goes along with the song Here

Overly

naive

After reading J. McCallum’s nauseating letter of October 4th, I felt I must not let his overly simplistic and naive solution to a complex problem go unchallenged. The Indians of North America have been lied to, and ripped off, since the Jesuits arrived in Canada. The Jesuits wanted to convert the “savages” to Christianity, but they didn’t seem to mind having over 2,,000 Indian slaves in Canada in the middle 1700’s. Their actual purpose was to subject and destroy the Indian race and culture. .What happened to our love-brotherhood cycle Mr. M&allum? The Jesuits themselves had slaves: certainly _ not a Christian idea. Ever since that time, the Itidians have been struggl-

ing to be classified as legal Canadian citizens. They were put on the poorest land available, which were called reservations, and told to live. And the “palefaces” wonder why the Indians have a welfare and alcohol problem. At Kenora, the Indian representatives presented over 200 petitions, all of which were ignored. Armed resistance is a last resort; but it is a good one. After all, over 400 years is a long time for a transition to brotherhood; don’t you think Mr. McCallum. Give them their rights.

No thanks

Thanksgiving Day has no real meaning for most people.. . .exi=ept it is a holiday, and we all love holidays. Giving thanks is not where it’s at; it’s a tradition that comes from a society with an infkriority complex. Here in North America, we don’t need anything from anybody, and there is no one we have to thank for anything-not even God. We-don’t need God to give us anything. We got it all, and it’s all together-let’s say “no thanks” instead of “thanks” this Thanksgiving Day. Afterall, there is no - God, no gifts from God, no mean’ ing in anything, nothing to .give thanks for . . . . . .or so some say. As for myself, I want to thank God for this beautiful day, and for the goodness he has shown us in so many ways. Amen. George Peate

During our high-school days, we were occasionally subjected to accounts, varying according to which of our teachers was doing the telling, of how the hardest part of university life was learning to live away from home for the first time; of learning to cope with the new material which comprised our studies; of picking the courses which would be most useful towards our individual goals; or of disciplining ourselves to study without the regular watchfulness of teachers, to check that assignments were being done, and you were progressing reasonably well to keep up with the material. But the truth is now out! None of these are one iota, when compared to what may turn out to be the hardest part of university life, especially at WaterlotLI ‘am talking, of course, about getting a seat in the Arts Cafeteria.

Ask students for Tproposd. Municipal elections are to be held Dec. 2, Iess than eight weeks in the future. Under the new arrangements for making municipal voters’ lists it appears many students at the two universities in the Twin Cities wili not be en the lists. One estimate is that as many as 4,000 POtential voters, living in residences at University of WaterloGand Wilfrid Laurier University, may be disenfranchised. The new mode in assembling voters’ lists is to enumerate door to Boor, as for federal or provincial election, and rely no longer on the traditional method of making up the lists from municipal assessment rolls. Enumeration is not the best way to get ;1 reliable list of student ,v otcrs . ..- ‘. f 1 Students living in dormitories do not normally live like permanent residents in homes or apartments.

to keep them in the

residence by day. Their evenings are more likely to be spent out than in. There is no time in a 24.hour period when an enumerator could expect to find most of them in their rooms, unless the enutierator comes after midnight and wakes them up. The problem is greater at the University of Waterloo, with its co-operative courses. On any given date at least half of the co-operative

The K-W Record editorial reproduced beside this statement exhibits unbridled contempt for students and student life. Written around the upcoming municipal elections and the bureaucratic oversight by which some 4,000 students were “missed” during enumeration, the editorial would dismiss the infraction by arguing that students have no “stake” in

results.

While the Record would not dream of counselling that students be denied their votes, it suggests that door-to-door enumeration is not the “best way” to gather a list of student

voters.

Since student enumeration

is difficult-the

Record

muses that we are never home,

because of all night drinking and carousingneglect becomes an acceptable response to the dilemna. In fact there is evidence that no student enumeration was undertaken at all. Not content with minimizing the problem“there is injustice in theory in not letting perhaps

students cast the ballots to which they are legally entitled”-the Record justifies its complacency through the stilted view that students have no interest in the community. TO the Record an injustice which “may not be strongly felt)by many” is somehow less of an injustice and perhaps no injustice at all. Citing the increasing apathy of the Kitchener electorate as an indicator of the lack of and temporary residents who have no turnout that might be expected from “transient permanent stake in the community”, it deftly consigns the student mess to the scrap heap of history. It would be folly to deny the existence of differences between community and university life, or the difficulties that students have traditionally had in bridging the gap. But it to encourage people to view those would serve stupidity-and perhaps self-interestdifferences as a permanent split which renders such abuses acceptable. In actual fact the links between university and community are more tangible than the differences. The university remains one of the largest employers in the region; moreover its students-though “transient and temporary” they be-put upwards of $30 millions a \ year into community coffers in one form or another. Large amounts of this money are expended on necessities like food, housing, clothing and entertainment and represent a mammoth

market

for local merchants.

More importantly studentswhether they live on or off campus-feel the effects of local’government in every facet of their lives. The lack of an effectke voice in these circles is as close to home as the sacrifice of part of the North Campus-under threat of expropriationfor the extension of Westmdunt Road. Waterloo city council makes provisionsor fails to-in many other areas of concern to students. Housing is an obvious sorespot; the lack of credible-inspectors and detailed codes of- regulation governing the condition of residences rented to “transients” is a pressing problem that receives no consideration under present arrangements. Examples of this type are numerous and strongly suggest the desirability of representation on local councils that would be responsive to student needs. Student councillors could push legislation to eliminate discriminatory practises such as outright refusal to rent

and the stipulation of oppressive conditions for renting. As well landlords might be “encouraged’.’ to drop year leases for student housing, thus endingthe burden of subletting or double rents. A well-organized team on council might ally itself with other progressive representatives to evolve important legislation for people-centred services like increased park and recreation land, increased green space ratios, provision for bicycle paths and jrails, lifting of censure against hitch-hiking and increased pollution controls. Areas of direct concern to students that are systematically ignored by current administrations might be quickly cleaned up, The long path that winds past the Bauer Warehouse is a conduit for students heading to the ghetto in Lakeshore Village. Its, dim reaches and isolation make it a splendid location for an occasional assault. Adequate lighting facilities

would go a long way towards

cleaning

it up.

Similarly unsafe is the section of Bearinger Road running from Parkdale Plaza to Lakeshore Village, a heavily used highway that carries waves of pedestrians to the subdivision. The situation has for years demanded immediate development of sidewalks in the area, yet council has thus far remained ignorant of it. Responsible council members might bring informal pressures to bear against some of the unsavoury corporate practises that afflict students. Bell Telephone’s insistence on new installations for perfectly operable phones on each new move-with accompanying charge-and its habit of demanding deposits from those least able to afford them might in this manner be curtailed. Obviously the solution is not as simple as it sounds on paper. The division between community and university-which the Record so happily accepts-will form a,powerful impediment to the development of a significant student vote. Yet this situation should not suggest resignation. While it is true-as the Record so self-satisfiedly suggests ---that students enjoy transitory residence here, the problems that affect the quality of their lives here remain constant. Take heed of the ad on the other side of this page and make sure that ‘you get enumerated.
