Telegdi still in power. .After 2 and a half hours of political haggling, the Federation of Students’ council decided Tuesday to table a motion calling for the resignation of federation president Andy Telegdi until a meeting to be held this Sunday. Introduced by a report of the salaries and honouraria committee, the motion called for the cutting out of “Andy Telegdi’s salary as of Oct. 30,,1974”, due to “per: sonality conflicts between Andy and members of the executive board.” The “personality conflicts”, according to the committee’s report, interfered “with the work” of the federation executive. In addition, Telegdi’s “obvious lack of communication, and his inability to get along with people; prevents him from adequately performing his job, and also frustrates and inhibits the performance of other members -- of/the federation.” It was also noted that “at no time did Andy exhibit a high degree of leadership”, however the committee felt Telegdi’s “quantity of work has been satisfactory”. Speaking in favour of the motion, federation external relations chairman Max Mercer said “I believe the president should resign because of his demoralizing and debilitating influence on the executive.” Mercer further said when asking Telegdi to “cease his personal attacks on e,xecutive memhers’ ’ , he was told “he’d better stop that sort of thing.” On the other hand; Tublications chairman Terry Harding said- he (’ could work with Telegdi despite divergent political views, and the reason why other executive mem-

bers could not was solely due to a “lack of desire to work with him.” As an example of “working with Telegdi” , Harding cited the occasion when he and Telegdi negotiated a raise for student summer employees at the University of Waterloo. Strongly disagreeing with Harding, federation treasurer Ted-Scott said “unless we demand excellence” from federation presidents we can expect “ mediocrity’ ’ . He had previously referred to _Telegdi’s handling of the federation-funded “Housing ‘74” project (which sought to “resolve” the student housing project) as being devoid of “professionalism’ ’ . Scott said Telegdi managed to “alienate 5 project members” when he started to take an interest in the project. This alienation resulted in “a rented car” sitting “idle in St. Jerome’s College parking lot”, he said. Countering Scott’s assertions, federation vice-president John Shortall said as far as he was concerned Telegdi handled “Housing ‘74” well and “he kept me in to,uch with what was going on”. (Shortall, though primarily responsible for the project was not on campus during summer as he had a job out -of town). In defence of his involvement in the housing project, Telegdi said university president Burt Matthews termed it “strictly wonderful” and that he was glad the federation was “going to the community to i solve the problem”. Telegdi also said he received little cooperation from other executive members, such as Mercer, on

the “tent city” project (an offshoot from the housing project, to publicize the student housing shortage) and that he had to rely on “a small group of volunteers”. Capping council’s intramural fracas, Telegdi charged the salaries and honouraria committee of contravening federation policy regarding “secret documents”, as the report should have been made public prior to the council meeting. Telegdi was backed up by council’s speaker Bill Green who also felt councillors should have received the report with their agendas. He then introduced a motion to adjourn until Sunday, saying council was “dropped a bombshell” with the report appearing so suddenly. -john

Lead pollutes Last January television viewers watching the CBC show “As it Happens” on lead. pollution were told that certain portions of the programme would be cut due to a court injunction ordering certain libelous portions of the programme be censored. This was the first of 78 court injunctions initiated by- Canada Metal, a firm which smelts lead in

Toronto, in a legal war against any criticism of the company’s lead plants. The television show detailed the dangers of lead when inhaled by the families, and children- surrounding Canada Metal’s plants located in a residential section of Toronto, and in. Trail, British Columbia. 1 Lead is even more dangerous when inhaled by children since the toxic lead deposits itself in the tissues and bones at a much higher rate than with adults. Canada Metal is located a mere 200 yards from a primary school and as’of yet the company has done nothing to reduce the amount of lead pouring out of its smokestacks. \ Two days after the programme, Canada Metal and Toronto Refiners and Smelters issued a notice of a motion asking the Supreme Court of Ontario to throw 6 persons in jail for allegedly breaking the injunction.- These people included ES. Hallman, vice-president of the CBC, Mark Starowicz, producer of “As It Happens”, Max Allen, producer of the programme on lead, because they had televised the programme. The morning after the programme, the court injunction hit the front page of the Globe and Mail -and for this action, Graham Fraser, author of the story, and James L. Cooper, publisher of the Globe and Mail were also named in the court case. Gary Perly, national chairman of .l

the Canadian Liberation Movement (CLM) was also named because the CLM had distributed leaflets to the workers at Canada Metal. Gary Perly spoke at an anti-lead forum Wednesday to outline his organization’s efforts to fight lead pollution, and the companies involved. He told the group that on Feb. 15 Justice Holland of the Ontario Supreme Court dissolved the injunction obtained by the companies against the programme. The next day the lead companies initiated the largest libel suit in Cana- . dian history. They sued the CBC, the Globe and Mail and 5 of the paper’s employees for $1 million each. The total suit came to $14 million. The only person missing from the list was Gary Perly . Perly and the CLM feel it proved that the suit was nothing more than a scare tactic to frighten the journalists from speaking out against lead pollution. The controversy over the lead pollu$on ofCanada Metal has been growing for years. Eight years ago, a-little girl who lived adjacent to a lead plant was admitted to Sick Children’s Hospital in a coma due to lead intoxication. More children were sent from the nieghbourhood with similar problems and the parents organized and demanded that the Ontario government stop the companies. Nothing was done. Two years ago, Dr. David Parkinson, head of the Metabolic ward continued on page 3

Waterloo regional planners gave a sigh of relief today when they heard that the region’s growth will not be constrained by a water shortage because a new scheme has been developed to recycle sewage. In the scheme each industry would take its waste liquids and under pressure apply the solution across a cellulose acetate membrane which separates the clean water from all impurities, including bacteria and viruses. The clean water can be then used again in the industry’s water supply system. Bill Thompson, Waterloo regional commissioner of planning and development, said it was a “tremendous breakthrough” in the conservation of water as industry consumes more than 60 percent of the community’s water supply. He further noted that the $98 million pipeline from Lake Erie and the $42 million Nith river recharge system can now-be indefinitely postponed as the answer to the region’s water shortage; Thompson also speculated that “by the 1980’s we wonit need water pipes or sewage treatment plants if this thing is built properly. We’ll be able to have one right in the house and it will cost less than a septic tank system. Regional Chairman Jack Young announced he will be meeting,with the ministry of the environment with a view to encouraging industries to adopt the new scheme. Already planners are considering financial incentives for industries who introduce the new system into their plant. This move is questionable since it is after all industry who will benefit from the system since its growth would be constrained within the region without the new scheme. ’ One wonders whether the taxpayers of Kitchener-Waterloo should be subsidizing the installa,. _ tion of these systems.

Last week the chevron ran an article titled‘ ‘Bezner on Aborting”. Since that time a few inconsistencies in the article have been shown and should be cleared up. The chevron refered to the speaker as Mr. Bezner, although Bezner indeed has his doctorate, in physics. from the All indications advances and intro“pro-life’s” duction would imply Bezner to be a doctor of medicine. The second

mistake was the reporting that abortion could be performed right up to the forty week limit. This is not true. Under Canadian Law, Criminal Code 221, it is legal to perform abortions only up until the twentieth week. At this time the fetus becomes recognized as an unborn child. Mr. Bezner’s misconceptions must- come from the fact that if the woman’s life is in danger, it is perfectly legal to perform a hysteratomy and remove the unborn child-but only if the woman’s life is in danger. Because of this, any referral to the “unborn baby” or the “unborn child” in the article must be replaced by the word ‘ ‘fetus”. - The chevron also cannot find where Mr. Bezner has obtained his “facts” saying that it is “standard procedure in some Canadian hospitals” to place “aborted babies.. .in a bucket of water to drown or be placed in a refrigerator to die of exposure .” The following excerpts have been taken from different articles and authors and will be listed if requested. The following article may be considered an opinion on abortion, the article from Probe is titled “A Liberal Catholic’s View of Abortion”The majority Catholic opinion holds nowad.ays, that there is indeed a real human being from the first moment of conception, but there is also another Catholic viewpoint which was voiced by one of the churches greatest theologians, Thomas Aquinas. This view holds -that there is certainly no human being during the early stages of pregnancy. Before the thirteenth century the Catholic Church held that the human soul was infused r into the body only when it began to show a human shape or outline and possesse’a the basic human organs. Before this time it was considered to be “a vegetative or animal soul, not yet a human soul”. It is in the process of evolving but cannot be considered to be a human person. To refer to another source, “the Church took the convenientlyloose view that the fetus became animated by the rational soul and abortion was therefore a serious crime, only at forty days after conception for a boy and eighty days for a girl. (No methods of sex determination were specified)“. scientific _ Owing to “erroneous reports” the official Catholic view was changed. These reports stated that there was a complete human being already formed at the time of conception (and therefore a soul) and that only the size and development of the body had to be determin-ed from that time onward. However, it has been proven that after conception there is only the one cell which begins to split and grow slowly. Only, after the 1 lth week period does it have the form and functions of a human; If it were the case that from the moment of conception, the fetus had a soul and was virtually a human then how can it be possible to explain identical twins with different personalities? It might be seen that in the past as

new countries were colonized and since there was a need for a higher population to form and develop the land, new births would be needed. Abortions would then begin to be frowned upon since people were a scarcity. The Catholic Church was also losing the race, in terms of population to other religions and might grasp at anti-abortion restrictions as a means to spread its faith by saturating the population. This is a real possibility and should not be discarded hastily. * If one has decided definitely that the decision should not be left up to the woman, then how can-one justify compulsory pregnancy? By forcing a woman to go through nine months of servitude and then possibly thrusting the role of parenthood upon her, what has been gained? Perhaps two more anx?ous, frustrated parents and an-unwanted child. According to reports in the United States in 1967, “tens of thousands of children were severely battered or killed, and these numbers represent an unknown fraction of actual incidence rates”. Unwanted children can be directly correlated to children who have been mentally or physically abused. If there isn’t a law allowing abortions then there will still be a high rate of abortions being performed illegally usually under much poorer conditions. To speak of the danger one could quote from Selig Neubardt, M.D.: “compared to another common surgical procedure, we can say that the danger of an early abortion is far less than the risk of a tonsillectomy! The further advanced the pregnancy gets, the more dangerous the abortion becomes, but, in the hands of a competent physician, the risk of abortion at any stage is not greater than the risk of a full-term baby !” -laurie

WASHINGTON (LNS)-Most observers commenting on the recent testimony of Vice-Presidentdesignate Nelson Rockefeller before the Senate Rules Committee on his net worth have failed to point out that /the question is essentially irrelevant. For in reality, the Rockefeller family exercises power so vast that it dwarfs Nelson’s own individual fortune. Nelson Rockefeller says he is worth $62 million which swells to $218 million when trust funds are included. But the complex and hidden economic power that the Rockefeller family holds jointly, and \ which Nelson shares, stretches across the nation and for that matter, around the world. Oil, banking, airlines, real estate, insurance, retailing, communicahotels and super. tions, electronics, , mutual marke t,s, funds, coffee beans and ‘chickens. The power of the family fortune is beyond measure. The fortune of the Rockefellers is pervasive. Nelson and his four brothers-David, who is chairman. of the board at Chase Manhattan Bank, John D., who chaired the Rockefeller Foundation for many years, Laurence, a major investor in the’ space industry and in Rockresorts, and Winthrop, who wis governor of Arkansas-and sister Abby, each received trust funds and direct inheritances from their grandfather, John D. the first. Other trust funds were created for the fourth generation when it came along. For two generations, the great fortune passed down by John D. Rockefeller has been fractionalized and covered increasing layers of trusts and closely held where no public recompanies, ports are required and none volunteered. The family philanthropy has attempted to erase the robber baron image associated with John D. the first. The Standard Oil Trust which John put together was dismantled by the Supreme Court in 1911, but the family retained control of all of the pieces. . In 1930, the family bought 4-5 percent ocf the shares of the Chase Manhattan Bank,_ enough to control it. (For effective control of a corporation or a bank, it is by no means necessary for an individual or family to own 51 percent of the stock. Depending on circumstances-such as if the rest of the’* shares are owned by small,’ unre& lated holders; or ownership of blocks of stock by foundations, family or friends, etc.-as little as 3 percent is often sufficient for at least great influence, if not outright control.) The Rockefeller money is managed at one place-at 50 Rockefeller Plaza in New York City where the family investment group called Rockefeller and Associates handles a maze of trusts and bank accounts, 1with policy directives set by the brothers. J. Richardson, Dilworth, nephew of the former Philadelphia mayor, runs it, The Rockefeller family has vari0~1s surrogates like Dilworth that serve on boards where the family has some stake. Dilworth can be found on the board of directors of R.H. Macy’s and Chrysler Corp.,

million invested in oil companies. Exxon and Mobil are on the top of the list. If you throw in the huge blocks of stock held and controlled by the Chase Manhattan trust department, it comes to a total of 8.6 million shares of Exxon, almost 4 percent, and the largest chunk of stock in the world’s largest oil company. The Rockefeller family also shows a substantial presence in Mobil, Amoco, and Standard Oil of California.

Besides Exxon, the .Rockefellers’ real-leverage is the Chase Manhattan Bank with total assets of $8.8 billion in 1973. Again, everyone knows the Rockefellers control it, but nobody can say precisely how much they own. Board chairman David Rockefeller, the only Rockefeller required to report his holdings, holds 337,,500 shares or about 1 percent. The Rockefeller Brothers Fund has another I48,OOO shares. Rockefeller University, a graduate study and research venter, holds 81,000. In 1964, when the House Banking Committee, chaired by Wright Patman, studied bank ownership, Rockefeller Center, which is wholly owned by the family, o,wned 86,200 shares. That has presumably doubled-through two stock splits in the years since. Control of the bank and its trust departments has the effect of multiplying the family’s financial power. Every major bank in the U.S. holds millions of shares in corporations in trust departments for their owners, most of whom give the banks the power to vote the shares and influence corporate management. Chase’s ptrust department, with the bank’s companion investment corporation, controls the single largest bloc of stock in United Airlines, Northwest Airlines, Long Island Lighting, Atlantic ‘Richfield Oil and National Airlines, to name a few. It holds important chunks of leading corporations-AT dz T, IBM, Avon Products and Safeway Stores. Major banks like Chase protest that their enormous holdings do not give them control over corporations and that they manage busi-

ness neutrally on behalf of anonymous donors. But it’s reasonable to assume that Chase would not commit its trust holdings to a management that they did not approve. To make it simple, here are the corporations represented on Chase’s board, either by their chief executive officer or their own board chairman: American Smelting, and Refining, Honeywell, Allied Chemical, General Foods, Hewlett-Packard, Exxon, Federated Department Stores, AT & T, Royal Dutch Petroleum (Shell), Burlington Industries, Equitable Life Insurance and Standard Oil of Indiana. These Chase executive officers also serve on the boards of many other well-known corporations.

III America’s commercial airlines represent one example of how the Chase Bank exerts industry-wide influence. According to a report compiled by the Civil Aeronautics Board, the bank holds about 12% of National, 9% of Northwest, 8% of United, 7% of Overseas National, 6% of TWA, 5% of Delta, 4% of Braniff and other lesser holdings. While Chase holds airline stock, the bank also lends a lot of money. Lending money gives big banks as well as insurance companies <more control over significant corporate decisions than stockholders have. In 1973, two Senate Government Operations subcommittees, jointly investigating corporate power, disclosed that fourteen airlines owed $274 million tom Chase. Pan Am alone owed $20.8 million, Continental $95.9 million. The Rockefeller interests are well represented van the boards of Equitable Life as well as a mutual company owned by its policy holders, but of course controlled by its directors. Equitable held notes worth $241 million from Pan Am, United, TWA, American and Eastern. When the Civil Aeronautics Board set up an advisory group on finance, Chase, Equitable, and Rockefeller and Associates each continued

Competing in a marathon (26 miles, 385 yards) is no easy task. Doing it in less than two hours and twenty minutes is even less so. Twenty-six miles at just over five minutes per mile is a fast clip as anyone who has gone out and tried to run one mile at that pace would know. Last Saturday in the Oktoberfest Marathon held here on campustwo runners did just that. Running in tandem in front of the pack throughout the race, Tom Howard of Richmond, B.C. and Brian Arm-

strong of Toronto Olympic Club finished in 2:17.52 and 2:18.07 respectively. Howard’s victory did not come easy. The course which wound in and around north Waterloo, West Montrose and Conestoga is a fairly hilly one. Armstrong, who has a personal best for the distance of 2:13, attempted to pull away several times but each time Howard was able to react and stay with him. Armstrong’s inability to break Howard in mid race cost him the race. With three quarters of a mile to go Howard’s superior speed put him \ ahead for good. Bruce Kidd, winner in the 1962 Commonwealth Games Six Mile and who has been known more as a political actFist than as a distance runner of late, placed third with a credible time of 2:21.7. Kidd, running for the Toronto Olympic Club, was quite pleased with his time and must surely be eyeing the upcoming 76 Olympics in Montreal-if only just a little. Over a flatter course Kidd’s time would probably have been sub 2:20, not bad for his first marathon in five years. Gi,ving Kidd quite a challenge for third spot was Doug Scorrar of OttaQva who actually held that position most of the race. Ross Jackson from B.C. was fifth in 2:27.29. Arthur Taylor, last year’s winner ‘and former Warrior coach, finished in sixth place in 2:29.18. Competing for the Kitchener-Waterloo Track Club, Taylor easily won the Master’s division title, which is for runners 40 years and over. For all who finished the race -joggers and racers alike-the day was a success. Being fit enough to complete a marathon is 1 an achievement itself. -doug ward 5

Eastern first took off in 1938 with the help of Laurence Rockefeller who also started McDonnell Aircraft. He still owns 49,000 shares. Chase holds 240,000. When Laurence couldn’t serve anymore, Woodward sat in for him on the Eastern board. Laurence is best known to the public as a conservationist, but most of his energy is spent investing in new projects. He owns all of

Eastern’s preferred stock (216,736) which he acquired 7 years ago when he sold the airline a majority interest in several luxury resorts which he developed -the Dorado Beach and the Cer: romar Beach in Puerto Rico, and the Mauna Kea in Hawaii. Eastern still owns the Puerto Rican hotels, but it sold Mauna Kea back to Laurence when it failed to win Civil Aeronautics approval for a Pacific air route to the island. In the deal, Eastern received a 40% interest in Rockresorts, properties valued at more than $100 million, developed and owned mostly by Laurence.

I feel it could only add to the quality of the Chevron and return it to the quality newspaper it once was; encompassing a wide range of events.

One of the complaints came from Peter Hopkins the intramural director and the other from the HKLS representative on student council. In fact we have had more compliments than criticisms on dropping the sports, so judging from that if we really were interested in giving the people what they w,anted, the sports would definitly go. However, the chevron staff does See a need for sports reporting, especially’ the intramural reports, however, there is a lot of work involved in producing a sports page and there is no one on staff who has the time or interest to do it.

White bias t

Several times in the past week since Louis Cameron spoke in crowded EL 101 I have encountered some bad feedback about his talk. Students have mentioned - Louis’ inarticulate English and poor logic. I got the impression that many young white Canadians at UW felt that this was just qnother dumb Indian making the usual ass of himself. . Why is it that Canadians always think that people who are not comfortable in english usage are stupid. Are these same Canadians articulate in Ojibway, Italian, German, or Chihese? Canadians seem to have a built that classifies in prejudice non-english speaking people as not worth listening to even when those people pay us the courtesy of trying to speak to us in our own language, not theirs. Personally I felt Cameron should have spoken in Ojibway -with a

Collectively, Mad -Dog Mousseau, Limb-Stripper Lubgans, Brad (the Tree) Beech, and Stone Hands Ayres pawed, mauled and battered the Arts offence to a standstill. This set the stage for the next scintillating spectacle; possibly the best exhibition of sterling football ever to grace the muddy pastures of Village Green. Stadium personnel who tacked on 12,000 additional seats to accommodate an anticipated, record-breaking crowd, had no troirble filling vacancies, but had to&-n away fans at the gate.From the start of the contest, for the Glory Seekers it appeared to be strictly no contest. The Science quarterback after losing 12-Or/at the half, mumbled somewhat disconcertedly,“It’s .a question of survival out there.” Barry (Boarhog) Ross’ touchdown interception as well as Flash (in the Pan) Glan~ill~s legwork and mid- , ,dlelinebacker Pete (McPete) Meharg’s defensive maneuvers, helped turn the win into a 20-O rout. Honourable mention and recogn-’ tion as “Glory Seeker of the Week” goes to Dean (Dino) Orlando who grabbed two big T.D.‘s in the first half. Number one ranked team Optometry in so-called League 82 is the next obstacle en route to the Glorj/ Seekers’ dizzying pinnacle of success. One press agent reportedly overheard the Optometry coach as saying,“At the first sign of dirty tactics by those goddamned Glory Seekers, I’m pulling my team off the field”. Humphy Dumpty

Some children are. treated chiefly by me Ldication given under close-” medical supervision. Some receive special education and some require both. The separate and public school boardsof Waterloo County provide diagnostic services and special education clas$es for children in their schools. There are still not enough classes for all the children needing help, and sometimes it seems that the teachers are not aware of the facts about learning disabilities. But the situation is improving. At present there are about fifteen classes for the learning disabled. In each class six to eight pupils are taught by specially -trained teachers. The pupils are encouraged to wove jnto “regular” classes for their &dies as they develop the basic skills required. Many children <“graduate-” from special classes in one or two years. At the K-W Hospital there is a Learning and Development Clinic which provides diagnostic facilities for learning disabled children and their families. Similar services are available in London and Toronto. ACLD has a number of programs, too. Of course, its most important function is to provide a meeting ground for people who are involved with children who have a learning disability. In particular, the parents. They are able to work together to improve their understanding and acceptance of their child’s problems. They develop programs to assist their children’s progress. Every Saturday morning in the Fall and Winter there-is a Gross Motor Skills Gym. Here the children with poor co-ordination work with student volunteers at such things as skipping and hopscotch, obstacle courses, balancing and group games. The children are encouraged to map their own progress in achieving greater muscle control. A Learn-to-Skate Class and Softball Skills Clinic help the children develop co-ordination a@ give them the confidence needed to join in neighbourhood games without fear of teasing. For Teenagers. there isa Social Enrichment Program. They go bowling, to movies, and other public events. These activities increase their independence and develop social skills which are difficult to adquire after years of isolation and dependence on their families. Kitchener-Waterloo ACLD is excited about the key event of L;earning Disabilities Week in Waterloo County. All interested people are urged to hear Dr. William A. Haw4e, who is the President of the Ontario ACLD, Professor of Pediatrics at the University of Toronto and Director of the Department of Devgtopmental Medicine at Sick Children’s Hospital. Dr. Hawke will speak twice on Wednesday, Octotjer 23. At 4:00 rjrn he will be at the Kitchener Public Library Auditorium to talk to people who work with children and adolescents. This talk will be “Learhing disabilities and their social and emotional aspects”. At 8:00 pm Wednesday night Dr. Hawke will speak to an audience of all interested people, particularly par-

ents, at the Waterloo Public Library Meeting Room. His topic for- the evening is “A critical look at learning disabilities”. Both talks will be important to anyone who thinks they may know a child with a learning disability. Also during Learning Disabilities Week there will be TV news coverage on “Ladies Fare”, October 22 on CKCO-TV, book displays at both Kitchener and Waterloo Publit Libraries and an information booth at St. Mary’s Hospital’s 50th anniversary display, October 22 to 24.
