Graduate students in the political science department have been boycotting classes and are pursuing independent group study sessions due to what they call the “seeming indifferdepartment’s ence to what we as individuals are trying to pursue”. The grads have complained of the overly formal structure of their programme and its seminars which they say deny ‘ ‘individual initiative’ ’ . The grads also want the requirement that at least half of their courses must be taught by the political science department be dropped as policy and that the faculty investigate the abolition of all courses. . The protesting group calling it-, self the “walrus eight”, feels the faculty should adopt the principle of “student-centred content and procedure”. As a result of these problems, the first year grads insist that morale among the students is declining rapidly. Commenting on their demands John Fraser, political science graduate officer told the chevron “in reality many of the position paper’s demands are already department pout y’ ’ . The complaints were drawn up and listed in the “walrus manifesto” which has been signed by 8 of the 12 first year political science grads. The “walrus eight” see themselves as a group and believe they’ll gain more by collective solidarity. They have been meeting regularly for the past few weeks to draw up a position paper outlining their demands. The paper complains of the strict, tightly structured course system for which there is no alternative. “An alternative approach in which structure is allowed to evolve” seems to be at the crux of

In this letter I am going to outline som&f the reasons why you might take an interest in the upcoming municipal elections. The housing situation for students at Waterloo has always been inadequate. Students who live in residence at present might be living off campus in the future, and though the housing problem does not affect you now, it could be a vital concern to you in the future. 1 Seagram Stadium will be coming under minicipal ownership in the new year. The type of use that the university gets will be decided by Waterloo city council. Transportation service has shown some improvement in the past year but is still inadequate. The usage of Centennial park and university land for rock concerts during reasonable hours has been curtailed even though only a small number of citizens complained of the noise. Conversely, a great number of students and young people were enjoying concerts during those hours. .The extension of Westmount Road through university property was negotiated under a threat of expropriation.‘ The university community had no voice on city council. The Hotel and Motel Owners Association has been able to exert a great deal of pressure on the Liquor Control Board of Ontario. Students are being discriminated against as far as liquor licences are concerned for the university campus. The above are just some of the concerns that students experience while living in Waterloo. In the office to past, students have been denied a say on city council. The failure of the assessment enumerate students who live in residence is an example of the way that government regards students. City council regards students as transient residents. Unfortunately, the problems faced by students have been continuous. The Federation of Students has gone to a great deal of trouble to make surethat your right to vote was not ignored. If enough students show an interest and get enumerated, then some students will run for city council to represent d the concerns of students. Whether or not we have a voice on city council is up to YOU. Be sure you get enurn.erated by October 3 1. For more information see the back page of the chevron. _A Sincerely yours,

their demands. The paper notes “the current malaise among a large portion of graduate students appears to arise out of a sense of non-involvement and distance from other people in the department, notably faculty”. The paper suggests “the initiation of a ,process of mutual consultation between graduates and faculty with regard to the future development of alternative interest and study groups”, and “the initiation of student participation in grievance and appeal commit. ,, tees- . One member of the “walrus eight”, Joe Fraser told thC chevron that the group is taking great pains to achieve its demands through the reguiar channels. Fraser insisted the group wants the whole procedure to be “diplomatic and polite to avoid confron= tation and bad tempers”. Last Monday the group met with the graduate teaching staff to further clarify the issues and its demands. The next day, the “walrus eight” met with the graduate affairs committee, a body made up of 3 faculty members, 3 grad students and thegraduate officer, John Fraser. This committee can only make ’ policy recommendations to the chairpersons of the department, John Wilson. He has final say over any decision. A,t this meeting the “walrus eight” further discussed possible avenues to implement their demands. The committee then directed the group to write proposals for two new seminars which would incorporate their wishes. The “walrus group” is now drawing up two “unstructured” seminars. Finally, John Fraser summed up the faculty’s position as “being concerned with maintaining a high level of respect for its degree in outside intellectual circles.”

lands, to be replaced by smaller birds. Though these changes are not necessarily bad, they are potentially so. Again man tends to aggravate latent problems by his interference. A case in point is that “scientist” who devised an elaborate scheme to eradicate blackbirds, whose insectivorous tastes he overlooked in his alarm at their fondness for corn. Fortunately his plan was unsuccessful. Not so the design of another who thought the English Sparrow would be a “nice” addition to Canadian birddom. Abetted by natural fecundity and lack of any indigenous enemy of this bird, his scheme succeeded beyond hopes, to become a mammoth blight to all concerned. The picture Hoffman presented was hardly a rosy one. Agriculture changes the natural environment; intensification is necessary to meet qualitative and quantitative needs; herbicides and fertilizers pollute (the extent to which they do so is uncertain, but probably is much wider than documented and possibly includes a wide range of physical and mental illnesses). Hoffman’s statement “we’re sorry...we’re trying to do better”, seemed a rather unsatisfactory apology, though of course he is hardly responsible for a situation which has developed for perhaps 50 years. Hopefully other comparably well-motivated and astute men will increasingly devote their efforts to “find the wisest possible way” to farm “with the least possible damage to environment”. However, the most crucial problem seems to be finding a viable way to get all suggestions acted upon by those involved in the food industry.

The Growing Poisons

In the face of daily reports of im, minent food shortages inside information on particulars of the problem is more than welcomed. Accordingly those who heard professor Hoffman, director of the Centre for Resources Development at Guelph last Thursday were appreciative of his knowledge con; cerning environmental problems connected with agriculture, if not exactly reassured by the insights he provided. Hoffman made the point early in his talk that the tendency of farming has long been towards intensification. The attempt to get the most produce from the least land initially resulted from the advent of the tractor, with its built-in inability to plow steep grades. Exploding world population has since precipitously increased this need. Now the estimated II per cent of the world’s sur-face capable of annual food production must produce. To help it along are a multitude of substances designed to ensure a yield which would have amazed our agrarian forefathers. Added to the problem of mass production are new qualitative demands. The modern consumer expects a degree of quality which was unknown in less finicky days. No longer are “half worms in scaby apples” and “carrots with 8 heads”

Different soil compositions require different combinations of chemicals to assist their fertility. Notwithstanding these delicate balances, the farmer tends to buy for’ economy rather than on the basis of a soil test. Confronted by myriad labour and economical problems and the necessity of getting out a good big harvest, ethical considerations may fall by the wayside. Whenever they do, the. environment suffers more than it would have to. It may have come as a surprise to some that organic fertilizers are not free from the dangers more commonly associated with their artificial counterparts. Again the crux is usage. The high nitrate content in. fowl manure can badly burn the soil. A pile placed near a water source can result in nitrate poisoning, of any consumers. This form of poisoning is especially baneful to young infants-a dose of 1,000 parts per million can kill. Apart from this, the use of organic fertilizers -was described by Hoffman as economically unfeasible. The attempt to turn back the clock and farm as one’s forefathers was “nice”, he said, but will give only subsistence yields. Those who engage in such simulated pioneering are generally forced to find something to supplement their incomes. Hoff man cited “arts and crafts” as a -Julie Schneider legitimate option. As stated above, the use of fertilizers is very much dependent on the individual farmer. The tendency is to use too much, the fallacy being that twice as much is twice as good. In Holland Marsh the peak of fertility has passed through overfertilization. The discontinuance of its use for 5 years Hoffman stated, would make no discernable difference in productivity. In Waterloo County, on the other hand, the obverse situation holds. If you have some knowledge and Too little fertilizer is spread, an avsome awareness which may be erage 7 Ibs. per acre. Hoffman’s useful to others rather than “living sardonic comment here was “it out” your life after graduation, would do as much good to go out perhaps the Canadian University and spit on it”. Though not suffering over-fertilization, our area has seen Service Overseas (CUSO) is for greatly increased soil run-off in the 1you. CUSO annualiy sends skilled shift to grain corn as its “princess” volunteers to third world countries to aid in their developmental procrop. In this regard we were told cess. that “erosion is probably worse now “If you want to pack twenty years than it was in the 30’s, when it was experience into two years, you on everyone’s lips...much worse”. With erosion, comes the washing might want to become a CUSO volunteer,” said history professor Jim of surface phosphates into water sources.

deemed acceptable nowadays. Consumer pickiness has increased reliance on sprays to facilitate growth of a marketably attractive product. The dual implementation of additives for quality and quantity has rendered their prolife*rati’on extremely widespread. Unfortunately wherever and whene.ver they are used they alter the composition of soil already changed from its natural state through agricultural usage. Artificial and natural fertilizers and herbicides are all to some extent pollutants. The problem would probably be controllable, Hoffman stated, were it not forthe haphazard way in which the farmer chooses and uses his aids to production. The expert evinced considerable scepticism in this regard. Though a _ pamphlet outlining proper practices is disseminated through the Department of Agriculture, it is an ethical guide and relies on ethics for observation. Soil is capable of using 300 Ibs. of nitrogen per acre. Anything more constitutes pollution.

venture in a foreign country or if you think you are saving the world, this idea quickly disappears after 2 or 3 months of rain. It can become two awful years”, said Walker. A perspective volunteer is asked to test his or her motivation before requesting placement. The local committee provides enough information for people to make the decision for themselves. Next Monday night the local committee will provide a coffee social evening at the Global Community Centre, 94 Queen Street, Kitchener, to provide an opportunity for anyone to meet and discuss CUSO’s work with returning volunteers. The local committee will also provide a cross cultural sensitivity weekend to be held on campus the weekend of November 22-24. The weekend session “will look at your motives, the ways in which you encounter people’and the ways in which you encounter people from other cultures. It is not meant to be “threatening”, said Bill Sparks, a “returned volunteer” who is presently both a student and committee member. Walker added,“lt will look at the worst things that can happen to you. In some ways, it is worse than overseas. It is not meant as a judgement weekend”. The weekend may not be enough for someone to decide for himself. The committee may ask an individual to do more reading and talking with returned volunteers. “In past years, we had more structure in the orientation programme but it interfered with mid-terms and course commitments. The programme this year has more self initiative”, said Walker. Formal application begins at the end of this term, late November to early December. The actual interviewing will not take place until June or July for the August placement through the Ottawa office. The local deadline for applications if March. A volunteer chooses the country in which to serve, states his/her preference of working conditions (rural or urban setting). CUSO has a low-early-return rate because a person usually drops the issue unless he/she is highly motivated to work under such different conditions. CUSO will either bring a person back if they so desire or transfer them to another country. “We usually find that it is the fault of the placement rather than the individual working conditions”, said Walker. Once a volunteer leaves Canada, he/she is not allowed to leave the continent (i.e., Africa, Asia or Latin America) of service for 2 years. During this time, the volunteer is on a working vista in the host country and bound to a contract with CUSO and a verbal contract with the host country. Since Canada has a low profile in third world countries, Canadians enjoy a great amount of prestige in foreign countries. “Most racial incidents happen while you are travelling around rather than when you are working”, said Walker. A CUSO worker experiences many paradoxes when encountering new cultures for the first time. “You’re in countries which were formerly imperialist colonies. It is against your principles to hire servants to do domestic service. If you don’t hire him, he will go without work and another person will only come to take his place. You really

must come to terms with yourself” said Sparks.. In many countries such as South Africa, a volunteer may feel that the social conditions may call for some kind of personal involvement to change them. CUSO usually tries to maintain a policy of political noninvolvement for the volunteers in the field. “For example, CUSO . Madagascar was almost closed down completely because the volunteers were social acquaintances with the members of a popular movement. The situation was later straightened out”, said Walker. - In cases of personal political involvement, the host country usually asks the volunteer to be withdrawn by CUSO. Most volunteers try to maintain a low profile because they are in a sensitive position between the white colonial class and the. non-white native population, where too much patronizing either way will endanger the effectiveness of their work. After the 2-year placement is over, a volunteer may ask for an * extension 1 year at a time. Those leaving the service are given a $1,000 re-establishment grant. Any student who is a Canadian citizen or has landed immigrant # status may apply to CUSO. Those interested may contact either Donna Tonkin, MC 6008, ext. 2156, Bill Sparks, Village 1 N 5, 201, or professor Jim Walker, Humanities 112, ext. 3882. -jay roberts

Art Sot Gets * Quorum On its second attempt in the space of a week the Arts Council managed to meet quorum on Monday night. The meeting was ,quite uneventful as compared to recent Federation council meetings. A few interesting points did arise from the meeting. The budget for this year was discussed. As it stands the Arts Society budget is set at $10,000 for this academic year. The money will be divided between such diverse things as clubs, social gatherings, an Arts Society newspaper, a coffee shop and many other things. The most exciting thing discussed was that the Arts Society will be running a coffer shop in the undergraduate lounge of the Humanities building. The idea is to provide cheap food and a good excuse for students to gather. Food services is not very ecstatic about the idea but they have not raised any real opposition to the proposition. Other societies are running similar enterprises on campus already. Larry Batista announced that the first edition of the Arts Society newspaper will soon be coming out. It will contain literary works bystudents, announcements and news that is relevant to arts students. In mid-November the Arts Society will be sponsoring a week of movies and pubs which hopefully will feature folksinger Ray Materick. At present the Arts Society council has only nineteen of its twentysix seats filled and there will be by- ’ elections in January to fill the empty seats. -neiI

Chile’s officers he it

:..

SANTIAGO (LNS/CUP)While millions of Chileans are facing poverty, the Chilean military has managed to defend itself very well from the effects of inflation and the “free-market economy,” of which they are staunch advocates. In a country where the average worker earns 12,000 escudos ($12) per month, a military cominBnder , gets 190,000 ($196) and a general, meaning all the leaders of the junta, collects 350,000 escudos ($360) or 29 times that of a worker. A “military delegate” position, representing the junta in major Chilean industries is also very privileged. For example, the military delegate in the Sumar Textile Company earns 320,000 ($320) plus whatever is earned through ’ ‘ ‘favours’ ’ in such an influential positon. ’ Rich ranking officers have other fringe benefits, such as very expensive ‘vacations. Last summer (January-February) the army rented a group of apartments in the resort of “El Quisco” for the officers who work ifi the Army War Material Factory. The bill came to a million escudos including wages for twenty servants as well as fancy furnishings and food. And officers have access to plush housing and cars as well. For instance, General Espinoza, who was in charge of the concentration camp in the National Stuadium, has a luxurious apartment, and three cars: a big car for himself, another for his wife, one for his son, and a small pick-up truck stolen from the Communist Youth Organization.

_ fed, by-election .

The annual federation fall by-election: were marked by an all time high in student apathy. Five of the nine vacant seats were acclaimed, and a turnout of 6.46 per cent elected the remaining four seats. The largest turn out was from Renison College, where 43.66 per cent of the students voted for Barb Innes as their representative on council. The alltime low turnout was in engineering where only 3.03 per cent of the students voted. It required only thirty seven votes to elect Rick Weller as one of the engineering representatives. The regular stream of the science faculty managed to muster a ten per cent turn out and elect Barry Thienes to council. Sandy Yates was acclaimed to the co-op seat in science. The three vacant arts seats were filled by acclaimation, with Assan ‘Makavora, Joe Cooper and Bruce Rorrison filling those seats. Integrated studies also acclaimed Elaine Bruer to fill their one?seat on council. - The elction was run this year by chief returning officer John’ Long.

opirg elections

The Ontario Public Research Interest Group’, (OPIRG), will be holding their annual elections on November 14th. Nominations for the five person board of Govenors will be received until October 31. Each candidate requires the signature of five eligible voters in order for their name to stand. All undergraduate students who have not withdrawn their three dollar fee as well as all others who have paid the fete are eligible to vote in the election. According to the OPIRG charter, the affairsof the corporation are managed by a Board of Govenors, and that this board is elected by and from the student body. The govenors have the broad responsibility of allocating funds to the various research areas, and generally of making major policy decisions for the group. The prime requisite for the governing board is a sin,cere concern for ‘\ public interest issues. For more information and nomination forms contact the OPIRG Yoffice at extension 2376.

foreign

students

The Ottawa-based Canadian bureau for international education has set up an ebergency fund to assist foreign students presently studying in Canada who, through developments in their own countries, must. find new funding or return home. Allan Rix, the executive director of the bureau, told the cheirron “recent instability in third world countries are resulting in the cut-off of funding for overseas students studying in Canada.” Rix said “the recent political coup in Ethiopia and the widespread drought in African countries could mean the end of many students’ studies in Canadian universities. ’’\ # The bureau’s board of directors have stipulated that students applying for the funds must plan to return to their home countries or to another developing area, and attend an university in Canada for at least a year. They further expect that the financial support would be grantedfor not more than a twelve month period, but next year, this year’s applicants will be considered again and given support if funds are available. Rix told the chevron that the funding is limited but he hopes all who need assistance will get some help. ) Application for funding from the bureau should be made through the UW student awards office in Needles Hall. The application must be supported with proof of registration at UW. Rix said that no direct applications will be accepted from, individual students. ’

The Ontario Ministry of Colleges and Universities is continuing its experimental pilot bursury programme for part-time students. The funds are being distributed among 5 community colleges and !4 universities chosen for the size of their part-time student enrolment. The experimental programme has a budget of $500,000 an increase of $200,000 over lasts years allocation. Of last years money only about half of it was spent due to a lack of student applications, but no effort was made by the ministry to increase the number of institutions participating. UW awards officer Don Kasta told the chevron that “last year the Ontario government i announced the programme well into September which was too late for universities to fully use the money”.’ Kasta felt “at present the Ontario Government is measuring the success of it and I hope we will be able to participate-in the programme if it is provided for all universities”. The programme is designed to assist part-time students from disadvanf taged groups s%u.chas single parents, the-unemployed and people on social assistance or with a low family income. At present 84 per cent of all 1 bursury recipients earn less than $6,000 and 53 per cent earned less than $4,000. Kasta is optimistic that the programme will be implemented in Waterloo. ’

Come Halloween the Campus centre tumke?s have organized several events to celebrate the occasion. Beginning at 3:30 next Thursday afternoon there will be a ‘pumpkin carving’ in the campus centre great hall. Later that day at 7:30 two full feature length cartoons, The Point and Puf n’stuf will be shown. People attending this gala event are encouraged to come in the spirit of the day so wear a’costume.

NUS.l.‘* I, campaigns. for student aid , _/ SASKATOON (CUP):The National Union of Students (NUS) has decided to launch a. campusdirected campaign on student .aid in Canada. At a three day conference held in Saskatoon on October 11-14, the 60 NUS delegates discussed the possibility of a “student campaign”. The campaign’s purpose is to increase the student loan and grant ceilings in order to make a university education more> accessible to the poor sections of the Canadian population. It was decided that this year’s campaign should be more campus . orientated since each institution - would want to handle its campaign in different ways. NUS also wants campaigns to take place on all campuses in Canada, not just the 23 postsecondary institutions that belong to NUS. With a Canada-wide, allcampus campaign, all students will benefit and NUS #will prove to be the voice of all students. Specific suggestions for the campaign included informational pamphlets, posters, public debates, setting up campus committees, and students press coverage. Most of the delegates agreed that there was a need for a grass roots approach-discovering what the students felt. And that information should be exchanged between campuses on the student aid campaign and student response. A lobby campaign conducted in the past few months by the Central Committee of NUS was felt to be -

only partially successful. The lobby consisted of letter-writing and presenting briefs to government officials asking that students be allowed to deduct student fees and educa‘tional materials from income tax and that students be granted an increased deduction for the cost of living allowances. NUS and the two national student unions that preceded it, NFCUS and CUS were and are concerned with the problems of studentfinancial aid.’ CUS was partly responsible,,for the implementation of the Canada Student Loans Programme (CSLP). However, the CSLP is unsatisfactory in many ways and NUS, with its campaign, hopes to have changes made. Their main-desire is to have financial aid programmes standardized across the country. This would require federal administration of the CSLP instead of the current ten provincially administered programmes. Standardization of the CSLP would hopefully eliminate regional disparity. A motion was passed calling for increased student aid, via additional grants-not loans, thus reducing students’ total liability for educational debts and encouraging students from lower class backgrounds to attend university without fear of huge debts to pay back after graduation. Other motions passed included: reducing the age of independence to 18 for student loans; tying the student aid programme to a cost of liv-

ing index; subsidizing the interest rates for student loans and making part-time students eligible for stu--. dent loans. One problem facing, NUS is lack of money. A motion was passed that fees be raised from 30 cents per student to $1 per student. Some concern was expressed over this increase in that delegates -felt a fee increase referendum (required by the student unions’ constitution) ‘would not pass on their campuses. However, it was pointed out that the Ontario Federation of Students has recently raised its fees from 40 cents to $1 SO per student with six out of seven campus referendums being successful. . Another problem facing NUS is its low membership. Only about one-quarter of Canadian postsecondary institutions are members of NUS and no Quebec institutions are represented. NUS is attempting to resolve this problem by conducting an accessibility campaign on student aid-a subject which touches all students, and secondly by negotiating with the Francophone institutions.

The discussion which followed seriously undermined Goldbloom’s contention that big business does not control his department of environment. Premier Bourassa’s policy to attract as much outside industry as possible was seen as one of the main problems because foreign industrialists would be more willing to pollute an environment which is not theirs. “Some sectors of the Quebec economy are stagnating,” said Goldbloom, “so it is necessary to invest in these areas.” “‘But the government doesn’t accept all industries, in-particular those which have high electricity requirements.

-Women arid madness MONTREAL (CUP)-‘ ‘Women in psychiatric terms are considered crazy no matter what they do,” according to Dr. Phyllis Chesler, clinical psychologist and author of “Women and Madness”. “Those who accept the stereotype of the ‘feminine’ woman are called neurotic, and those who don’t are called other names, like castrating, or dyke.” Chesler was speaking to an audience of more than 500 at the opening of a three day Women’s Health Seminar at McGill. “We live in a male-homosexual culture,” said Chesler, “one in which men are both worshipped and dominant. According to Chesler, “Women have low esteem, hate themselves, and are at least as conformist as men.” Chesler attributed these feelings to female acceptance of a maleconceived role-one that portrays women as compassionate, helpful, altruistic creatures whose work need not be rewarded, but whose failure to produce the expected (children, a clean house) is inevitably punished. “Women are afraid of such punishment,” said Chesler, “and this fear leads them to both greater self-sacrifice and masochistic feelings. ‘.’ Chesler also pointed out some significant biases that she believes exist in the male-dominated* fields of psychological and psychiatric therapy. “.Experts who are trained to find insanity tend to find it. No one is normal according to the experts

and a standard of mental ‘health therefore does not exist,” said Chesler. Furthermore, said the doctor, “while everybody is at least neurotic, according to the experts, women are crazier.” Chesler also asserted that “it is the prevailing belief that for a woman to be a real woman, she must .have experienced motherhood.” A final point on Dr. Chelser’s list of unfounded notions among psychiatrists and psychologists was the conception that lesbianism doesn’t exist. The notion prevalent is, in Chesler’s words, “lesbians are simply women who haven’t found the right man yet.” According to her, “it’s inconceivable to most male doctors that a woman could prefer another woman to a man.” “Women need help,” Chesler asserted, “a kind of help that even the best psychotherapy can”t provide.” Therefore, she said, women need economic help-in the form of direct wages for labour-as well as education, child care and adequate housing. “Ideally,” said Chesler, “there should exist a society where basic needs are met routinely for all people. I don’t think that the feminist vision will ever be successful without some form of communism.” But the women who desire equality in our society and institutions must first achieve personal strength. Only strong people can make strong changes,” Chesler said.

friday,

At the Global Community Centre in downtown Kitchener a few weeks ago, a small group discussion was taking place and the topic was colonialism. The participants in order to better understand the nature ofcolonialism acted out a role play: some of the people played the colonialists and others acted as the colonized. In the role play a foreign company had set up‘s lumber operation in one region of the country. The indigenous people of the region left their traditional lifestyle and went to workfor.the company. After years of lumbering the forest there, the company concluded that the operation had ceased to be profitable ‘to the desired e&tent and decided to vacate the country* The foreigners left behind them, a culture of dependence. Over the years of the lumber operation the people of the region had become dependent on the wage-labour provided; so too, reviving their previous way of life was,impossible as their environment had in the process been permanently upset. At the end of the role play the actual situation on which the story was based was re-. vealed and surprisingly, rather than coming from Latin America or Asia, its origin was Northwestern Ontario--fi”om the White Dog Reserve near Kenora. The stories below are from Akwesasne Notes an American Indian publication. The first covers the mercury pollution in the English and Wabigoon Rivers and how the fishing-b ase d economy of the native peoples from the, White Dog Reserve has been brought to an abrupt end. The facts of the . situation should be known and provide a relevant perspective to the second article which deals with the occupation of Anishinawbe Park and of-the white manIndian social dichotomy in Kenora. Both articles point out to us that the Indian people’s position as a marginal and dependent people is a necessary consequence of the economic process that has been established on this continent and of the way it has been established.

Dog Reserve, Ontario-The native people here have a choice of giving up their traditional diet of fish and risking death from malnutrition and starvation, or eating the fish and dying from mercury poisoning. Thomas Strong was just 42 when he died August 16,1972. He was a trapper and guide along the lake-chain of the English and Wabigoon Rivers. He staggered out of his tent, collapsed and died beside a little fist of water called A. H. Bay. a verdict of --The inquest held returned death by heart failure. But his people knew: about 50 of his friends and family came by chartered bus out the bush road to Kenora to !‘hear what the experts had to say. They /knew: because they had seen Tom Strong show signs of classic mercury poisoning: slurred speech, tremors, loss of weight. He ate fish twice a day during the season. Federal and provincial governments had known for three years that the fish were contaminated: Ontario -banned commercial fishing in the area on April 6, -1970. It posted signs on the lakes where rich Americans fly in to angle, cutely telling them to fish for fun but not for food. But no one has told the native people in any kind of straight way, and no government has yet told the people what they are to do if they can’t eat fish. Part of the reason for the hush-up, Peter Kelly says, is the lucrative tourist industry in the area. Kelly, who is president of Grand Council Treaty No. 3, says water throughout the entire area is contaminated, but that tourists who might eat fish for a week wouldn’t be harmed much and so they aren’t told. “The incidence of mercury poisoning may be far more widespread than the public realizes,” Kelly says. Of the 123 waterways in Canada known to be mercury contaminated, one third are in Northwestern Ontario. Kelly calls for through testing of people who may be suffering from mercury poisoning-and the-releasing of information of those already tested. He wants recommendations of the Ontario Task Force on Mercury Pollution implemented. That group made 30 recommendations, such as compensation for fishing guides who no longer can work as a result. of the pollution. ’ Provincial government peo$?e have come in to tell the Indians that they should “cut down on the amount of fish they eat.” \ White

“Cut down?” asks Chief Ray McDonald. “What do I do? Go out and tell my people they can’t fish anymore? What should they do, starve?” He said reports that newlyborn children can have higher mercury counts than their mothers have causedcon‘cem. “Some of our women and older people are scared,” he said. McDonald says he plans to go to Manitoba or Minnesota to study the possibilities of setting up chicken or mink farms on his reserve, but he doesn’t know where the funds will come from. “It seems we were much better off years ago,” he said. “Every family had a garden and some pigs or cows. Civilization came in, and now nobody has anything like that.” It is so bad now, he says, “my people are eating the fish despite the health hazards.” The Anishnawbe say of the new ailment: “gigon auchos”-the fish are sick. That sickness has been traced to the Dryden Chemical Co., Ltd., and the Dryden Pulp and Paper Co., of Dryden, Ontario. While both firms have “reduced” the release of mercury into the water, the streams will not be clean for one or more human generations. The current level of poisoning is 24 times higher than a level safe for human consumption. < Aggressive behaviour, violent actions and other disorders are characteristic\ symptoms photo

of mercury poisoning. White Dog’s only storekeeper, a white man, was shot to death in February, 1973. Two new prefabricated houses provided free by the government were burned down the same month by children who had been sniffing gas. Chief Art Assin, 33, of Grassy Narrows, says that worse than the illness are the social situations which result: with nolfishing and no guiding, the men sit at home, drawing welfare, and they have lost their will to do much of anything. “The alcohol problem is getting worse every day, and we don’t know how to stop the pollution.” While there are other factors than mercury poisoning involved, there have been 174 violent deaths among native people in the Kenora ‘area during the last three years. There is a 264% increase in drinking offenses reported by Kenora city police. I The non-Indian residents of the area, however, are not overly excited about the problems of natives. In fact, some charge, it is the Indians who are at fault and who are harming the white people. As Judge L.A. McLennan of the city police commission says: We submit that the small segment of the Indian population which constantly indulges in the excessive use of alcohol in Kenora is not only discriminating against the nonnative residents of our community, but it is

also casting a dark shadow over the majority of Indian people,” Because of the situation, he said, “local citizens are denied the right to walk unimpeded in a clean, respect, able downtown area.” Government officials have been lethargic about the situation. The facts were known in 1970 or earlier, ,but it took until 1970 for the question of inaction to be raised in the On-. / tario Legislature. And then it took nine months for Lands and Forests Minister Leo Bemier to “look into it”-and to send up a task force to check it all out. And the recommendations of the task force’have still not been implemented. That’s one of the unfortu’nate attributes of mercury poisoning: it is slow death, and by the time it becomes dramatic, there is nothing that can be done. When federaI Indian Affairs Minister Jean Chretien was asked about the situation on May 10, 1973, he told the House of Commons that “we have been aware of this problem for many years and I know that on severa1 occasions it was necessary to see to it that Indians of this region change their fish’ ing habits.” .. But while it seems that everyone wantsthe Indians to-change their habits rather than to c alter the death-track of civilization no one has yet come up with alternatives for the native people. If they can’t fish or guide, what other prideful activities remain to give purpose to life? A Provincial government task force had recommendations that no fish be used for human or animal consumption. Ittwanted an information programme to warn residents. That means the-printing of a booklet, and sending each household a letter “outlining the danger and suggesting equally nutritious -b substitutes.” Ontario health minister Richard. Potter said that it was not his responsibility to provide food for the people in the area. He said he could only warn of the danger of “indulgence’ ’ , much as he does with “alcohol, tobacco, and other substances which are injurious to health.” The best that could be expected, apparently, was that Ontario would assist the band by hirin men for tree planting each spring inthe summer, and and aut f mn, fire-fighting maybe left-overs from commercial pulpwood operations or the development of native crafts. There was no word about an al’ ‘temative food supply. Lands minister Bemier said he was re.sponding to the “underlying request” of the Indians that they be permitted to take the leadership in determining which social, economic and cultural programs would be of “greatest benefit to them,” apparently meaning that native people would have self-determination where no one else had any answers. continued

After all, they live in a spothighly sought-after by wealthy sportsmen. The reservations-one 70 miles northeast of Ken&a and the -other a bit further to the northwest-are surrounded by the rugged beauty of forests and lakes that stretch to the timbered horizon. The air tastes fresh and clean and free from exhaust fumes and the waters sparkle with diamond-studded sunlight. It’s the sort of place where a traveler may have to slow her car to let a galloping black bear and her cubs’ across the road, and at night you cancatch the glint of flag-tailed deer miking their ballet leaps into the bush as you drive to the reservation. In reality, the life there for the Anishnawbeg is miserable.

And although the problems of alcoholism and violence existed to a degree on these two reservations before the commercial fishery was closed in I970 because of mercury pollution, even the Ontario Government’s Mercury “Task Force” which “surveyed” the area in March, 1973, admitted that “the mercury problem. . .would appear to have played a significant role” in what they now call “the deteriorating social conditions.” But the government investigators and politicians who tour the area seem oblivious to the frightening, criminal waste of human beings living in those “social conditions.” Officials become like the Kenora residents who walk unseeing past the sodden and comatose Indians who lie in a welter of broken bottles within sight of Kenora’s ultra-modern Holiday Inn on the waterfront. Over a recent three-year period, there were 174 violent deaths among the people there, a-few thousand of “Canada’s first citizens.” Projecting the statistics on a per capita basis against a city the size of Toronto the violent death toll there would be about 10,000 annually.

The report categorizes the causes of deaths as drownings (43), gunshot, hanging and stabbing (38), fire (30), train accidents, motor vehicle accidents, child neglect, exposure (108). “If anything, the figures are conservative,” McMillian said. The native population of the area is between three and five thousand. Another patrol had to be organized last winter to seek out children abandoned-on city streets. The‘ Children’s Aid Society had to admit 300 children into care in 1973 as a result of abandonment by parents or accidental separation. The patrol was-

There are lots of agencies in the area-most func-’ tion as social garbage collectors and do not deal with basic causes. There is the Children’s Aid Society, welfare officials, the Indian Affairs offices. Indian Affairspersonnel talk of “bringing people out of the Stone Age and into the Nuclear Age” and of the necessity of “listening to the Indian” version of their needs. But officials of the Treaty Three Grand Council accuse the Indian Affairs people of strangling development plans in red- tape and “breaking the initiative and will of the people.” Concerned civil servants claim they are muzzled by an “unwritten but explicit directive” not to medpie in the affairs of the bands.

Fullmer says the only solution to- the problem is for the native people to have control over their own affairs-a view shared by the Treaty Three officials. ’ In truth, even some-of the projects approved by government officials appear so expensively bizarre as to reflect a kind of bureaucratic mental cruelty. _ A million-dollar recreation centre is being built at Grassy Narrows, a community with no sanitation facilities and housing so inadequate as to be an affront to the entire country of Canada. And a giant, fortress-like school complex with teachers’ housing which would do credit to any Toronto suburb is being constructed at White Dog, which has- some -electricity but no sanitation and where the social life is totally dissolute. “Isn’t that a fine morale builder?” a white social worker said as she drove reporter Wayne Edmonstone of the Toronto Sun past the hovels of White Dog and around the new school. “The kids all hate it,” she said. “I hope they bum the goddam thing to the ground. ”

Part of the problems of the native people is that the educational system does not meet the needs of their children-and probably it won’t for generations to come. “We feel basically helpless,” said Patrick Sayeau, principal of Red Lake High School. “The school system just doesn’t have any pertinence to the social conditions under which children are 1% ing . ’ ’ Some ‘say the fault lies with parents who faiI to prepare their children for “white society” which exercises total cpbnial control even in 100% native communities. I. W. ,Harland, a United Church minister and the deputy reeve (mayor) of Red Lake, says, “Among native peoples, parents who had themselves been raised under traditional Indian customs are unable to cope with or understand what is expected of children in a white society. TheFombination of the language barrier together with the fact that a child has missed much schooling (because attendance regulations are not enforced) brings about a situation where 11 and 13 year olds may still be !@-uggling through Grade 1.” . In Fort Francis, Ontario, the touring official delegation was urged to start programs to teach teachers the-culture and history of native people. The local high school has had two Grade 13 Indian students in the past ten years. ’ It may be that way for a while. Robert Steele, regional director of education, said, “I don’t think there’s an answer in this generation. If every generation could have one year more of school than their fathers did, then I think-we would be showing real progress. If our expectations are high, then our frustration level will also be high.‘_‘__ _ Apparently, if educators give themselves 160 years to educate the native people, there will be little frustration among them. Whether native people will be able to stand their own frustration is another matter.Dennis Banks, an Anishnawbeg AIM leader on trial in St. Paul for the occupation of Wounded Knee, flew into the meeting to address the occupation on invitation of the group in the park.‘He said Canadian immigration officials had warned him notto make any inflammatory statements at the conference. Although generally, native leaders feel that now that the Liberal Party has a majority stronghold on the government of Canada as a result of the July election, that they can expect trouble in-making gains for native people, Banks said he was told that

“there was a new government in Canada and things may start improving-for the Indians without violence.” Banks told the occupation force that native people should continue to explore every peaceful way to;! obtain a better life for themselves and future generations, but that if it took violence to prevent further dissolution of native culture, then violence was necessary. There were certain responses to the occupation -which were similar to the responses to the occupation of Wounded Knee. For instance, David Ahenakew, chairman of the Federation of Saskatchewan Indians, said the ocucpation would only agitate an already-explosive situation, aiii that “Saskatchewan cannot support, and the Indian people of this province certainly can’t support that kind of approach. “ He said that members of the American Indian Movement should be deported, but he did not specify to which Country-many of the AIM members are ‘ Canadian-born. ’’ Ahenekew said, “There are proper channels to follow in land-right disputes and they should be .used.” Ahenekew’s stance was supported editorially by the Toronto Globe and Mail, although such support would seem to weaken his position. The confusion in which white Canadians find themselves is evident in the newspaper opinion-unhappy that Canada has treated native peoples so grossly unfairly, and equally unhappy that it has taken armed Indians to press that point. “We have had more than time enough in Canada to learn how grossly we have failed to deal decently and honorably with the Indian people,” the Globe says. “But of the extent of our failure, at least, we are only too painfully aware. And there is no need for people to come here from elsewhere on this continent to make that elementary point.” Alleging that the armed occupation “will be neither welcome or useful” to Canadian “Indian leaders in their struggle to win justice”, it suggests that the “wellorganized Indian movement in Canada has much more sophisticated and effective ways of making itself heard.” The elected council heads of the area composing the Treaty 3 Grand Council didn’t much like the occupation either. But the dislike was mutual: the Warriors’ Society said the elected leaders are doing very little to stop the flow of their people to skid row. About all the negotiators were able to agree upon was a temporary truce. The native people would keep their guns out of sight, and the town would pledge not to make any attempts to retake the park. “Let them have the park,” Davidson said. “After a week or so they will drift away and there will be no problem. ” In Ottawa, Indian Affairs Minister Jean Chretien said the occupation was a “local matter” and the Canadian Government did not intend to get involved. Speaking through a departmental spokesman, Chretien saw the occupation as a simple land claim, and saidthat the Indians should seek title in the ‘,‘normaI way” through the department’s claims branch. He added that he -had not received any “formal communication.” The Kenora land was, of course, undeniably Anishnawbe. Then it-fell into the hands of a private owner. In about 1929, the Canadian Government, as part of a broader agreement, bought the land as a campground for native people who came into Kenora to trade. ‘According to the department, the park became “an eyesore” and the town of Kenora offered to purchase it for $1,875. The transaction was completed without consultation with native peoples. During the course of the weekend conference, participants asked bars and lounges to close for the duration of the meeting. Mayor Davidson said the bar owners had refused to close because it would have been an insult to the Indian people. “We don’t close down the lounges when the Kiwanis, Lions, or other clubs have conferences , here, so why should we discriminate against the Indians when they have a conference?” Davidson said, giving an unusual twist to reverse bias. The announced purpose of the conference was hardly sufficient to warrant the massive police presence: it was discuss the role of the Ojibway Nation today, and how native people are treated in the Kenora area.

. ******* The Ontario Provincial Police announced that it had purchased a Beaver aircraft and would start flying into native communities. They insisted that the announc.ement had nothing to do with the occupation in Kenora. Twenty policemen had been selected to serve Indian communities, and they would have specialized instrudtion, including native philosophy and culture. Commissioner H. H. Graham said the twenty were chosen because they “wanted to take a crack at the Indian problem.”

Michigan The Athena field hockey team travelled to Michigan State university to compete against the MSU squad. The Waterloo women fell short of the mark losing-2-1 to the Spartan women with Donna Schoales the only goal scorer. The match was evenly spread out as the Athenas had ball control fifty per cent of the time. Later that afternoon the Waterloo squad took on the Central Michigan University ‘Chips’. Marlene Grolman and Sue Hamilton scored during the first half to give the Athenas a 2-O lead at half time. The squad then rallied to go ahead 3-2. Two quick goals by Clara Kisko and Donna Schoales turned the tide again to have Athenas take the lead 4-3. The game ended minutes later but not before Central Michigan tied the game up 4-4. This was the second game of the day for the Athenas. The Athenas then moved onto Brooklyn, Michigan, where their win loss record was four wins, one loss. At Brooklyn, the Waterloo. women were in a tournament with schools from Michigan, Ohio and Indiana. The Athenas fared well scoring 27 goals and having only eight scored against them, losing only to Oliviet College, Mich. 1-O. The Waterloo club got off to a bad start but was able to rectify the problem with four straight wins. Game scores were: Waterloo 5 - Goshen College 1 Waterloo 6 7- Ball State 0 Waterloo 7 - Toledo University 0 Waterloo 4 - Youngstown State 0 Donna Schoales had her best weekend scoring twelve goals which included three and four goal games. “The forward line worked beautifully together.

Over the years that I have been conducting darkroom printing sessions, first in black and white and now in colour I have stressed to the audiences that darkroom work is not only a rewarding hobby but is easy and fun. This three letter word was used in two of our show slogans: “Taking Pictures is Half the Fun Making Prints is Twice the Fun”, and the curr$nt one “Let’s Turn out the Lights and Have Some Fun with our Durst Enlarger”. People who are fascinated watching a print being processed and express amazement at the equipment used would do well to compare the first steps to a photographic process they themselves may well have done many times Y the projection of a slide or movie film &ti, a screen. If vou look at an enlarger! used tb prod&e prints of varying sites from a negative, it has precisely the same makeup as a projector. A lamp to provide illumination, condensers to intensify the light, a carrier to hold the film in place while enlarging. Projectors do their work in a hotizon”taI posi. tion, while most enlargers are iertical, but the operation- is identical. The farther the projector from the screen, the larger the projected image. The enlarger works in exactly the same manner, with the imagearriving at an easel. Instead of being viewed, the image is burned into a piece of sensitized paper which then goes through chemical baths under ‘safelight’ conditions and after being dried is a finished print; readv foryour wallet or album. ‘So, e&n if iou have never seen a d&-kroom door from the outside, you have gone through the fundamental steps when you showed your, slides to friends. The second ‘stumbling block’ to many is the fear of expense involved with photographic printing. A darkroom need be neither fancy, nor expensive, the most important factor is that it is functional, having the necessary equipment to do ;the type of work required. Great strides have been made recently in colour printing. Trays are no longer required and all processing is done on a countertop in a small drum that is rolled back and forth to orovide orooer aaitation. This svstkm also klirriinatei complicated te’mperature controls and is most efficient from a *point of time and economy of chemistry. Many apartment dwellers have designed portable bench-tops for bathtubs on which to do their work. This is an ideal situ.ation, being close to running water, and a room that requires a minimum of lightproofing. Equipment costs can range considerably, depending on your needs and budget. Good equipment is a good investment as product qualitjl

will determine the effjciency and durability of most major items. Photographic printing is a matter of qaininq exoerience, and the best &ui&ient ’ will ndt automaticallv ir&;ove a mediocre darkroom man’. Hdwever. look for an enlaraer that offers lifktime durabilitv an’b avoid frills that reallv aive no’true assistante to print&g.Durst is such an enlarger. When selecting darkroom accessories consider the famous Paterson products from Great Britain. They are the result of design experience and proving in actual working conditions. This broad range of darkroom equipment utilizes the advantages of plastic.s in the production of ‘designed for the user’ items.

During the balance of this series I’ll outline the simple stages of producing a print and discuss other interesting aspects of this fascinating part of photography. For those already interested in darkroom work, Braun has a twin-sided wall chart detailing and illustrating procedures for developing film. It’s called Mr. Darkroom’s g-step wall chart, and is yours for the asking. Please write direct to them: Braun Electric Canada Ltd., 3269 American Drive, Mississauga, Ontario L4V 1 B9.

- Leninist Responds (When I read Lucy Man’s article on the conditions of women in Russia, I was reminded of some of the Canadians I met in Cuba. They came with one purpose in mind-to confirm their prejudices, and no examination of’the objective conditions of life in Cuba could dissuade them from their goal of seeing all; the distortions and lies of red bogieism. Marr contends that “Soviet authorities were intrinsically less interested in the emancipation of women thanthey were in achieving utmost state production”. Question: How are women to struggle for equality from their isolated position as’houseworkers? Question: What is socialism if it is not expanded socialised production,‘ the promise to destroy private domestic work which exists ‘in the interests of private property? Question: Who benefits from bringing women out of, isolation, from engaging them in productive work? Question: Who benefits from the commodities which expanded production af‘fords? It is to fundamentally misunderstand the imperatives of a socialist economy to suggest that the introduction of women into the work force reflects the interests of the state. against the interests of women and society as a whole. Marr quotes Alexandra Kollantai (it’s Alexandra, not Anna); “Women liberation could take place only as’a result of the victory of a new social order and a different economic system”. Since Mat-r has some conspicuous problems in understanding that only a total transformation to a socialist economy will establish the necessary precondition for the possible emancipation of women, I’d like to examine the counter thesis that liberation is independent of the economic order and the social relations which grow out of that economic order. Take women in Canada for example: they’re doing just swell under monopoly capitalism! A quick glance at any of the statistics produced by the state machinery-Information Canada, Ontario Ministry of Labour (Women’s Bureau), etc.-prove conclusively that women are concentrated in the lowest paying, least attractive jobs, that along with children, migrants,’ racial minorities and many immigrant groups they form the.bulk of the swelling ranks of poverty in this country. Not only are they exploited as workers to enrich the capitalist class, they are oppressed sexually and psychologicaily by their men who are not exempt from exploitation in their own working lines. The - powerless mess, frustration and alienation which working class men experience/ in their jobs are reflected in the social relations established in the family where men treat their women in precisely the same fashion as they are treated by their bosses.

But Marr would have, us believe. the ideological structure of prethat there is no relationship betrevolutionary Russia which tied ween the economic system and the them to hearth and home, beliefs exploitation and oppression of which, keep them to-day straddled in domestic labour-clearly the rewomen-unless, ,of course, that volution remains immature in the system is Soviet. transformation of social relations in To ignore the tremendous ‘adthe family. vances made by women in the But the point, Lucy Marr, is that Soviet Union, a direct result of the those women, precisely because changes in the mode of production they are in the work force (and they and the social relations’of producare in the work force precisely betion, is to ignore the very basis on which the potential liberation of all cause of the changes in the political and economic system) can unite oppressed groups rest.

Cowls Geography I read with interest your report by Mike Gordon on the anti-lead forum (Wednesday, 16th October). Unfortunately there was an error in the article. The CBC programme “As it Happens” is broadcast nightly (6:30) by the CFPL Toronto radio station (740m). It is not a television show. One of the hosts, Barbara Frum also has a late night talk show but this is a recent venture. Incidentally, I would recommend highly “As it Happens” as a source of- responsibleand outspoken comment and opinion. I D. Leggett Chemistry

AntiAbortionist Reply \ We thank Laurie Gourley for giving a reasonably accurate description of <‘Dr. Bezner’s’ lecture in the Chevron issue of Oct. 11 (page 15). In-the following week, LaClrie Gourley wrote another article entitled “Birth Control” (Chevron, Oct. 18, p. 3), in which he felt obliged to correct what he called some “inconsistenoies”. May we say that’we believe honestyand integrity to be-essential to journalism, and that the students on campus deserve to be entrusted with all the facts honestly and openly presented. First of all, the article’states “All indications from the ‘pro-life’s’ advances and introduction would imply Bezner to be a doctor of medicine,” This statement, we feel, is unjust, for Dr. Bezner was introduced at the beginning of the talk as a professor at Wilfrid Laurier, and we in the university environment use the term ‘doctor’ quite freely to’ include those having doctorate’s (Dr. Bezner has his doctorate in physics)\ Besides, we do not feel that only medical doctors&e qualified to discuss moral *. issues. In his lecture, Dr. Bezner stated: “It is significant that Canadian law does not spell out how long a doctor may do abortions, so in theory-I’m not saying this is being done in practice-but in theory, in Canada, a doctor may abort right up until full term.” (This quotation is taken from a tape recording of Dr. Bezner’s presentation at St. Jerome’s, Sept. 30, 1974). In an attempt to refute this statement, Laurie Gourley reported: “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.. . .Because of this, any referral to the ‘unborn baby’ or the ‘unborn child’ in the article must be re-

placed by the word ‘fetus’.” Section 221 of the Criminal Code reads: 1) Every one who causes the death in the act of birth of a child that has not become a human being, in such a manner that if the child were a human being, he would be guilty of murder, is guilty of an indictable offense and is liable to imprisonment for life. 2) <This section does not apply to a person who, by means that in good faith he considers necessary to preserve the life of the mother of a child, -causes the death of such a child. ’ Section 221 makes no reference to a “20 week period” of time (as claimed by Laurie Gourley), as well, he did not accurately report Dr. Bezner’s comments on it. In his presentation, Dr. Bezner mentioned that Section 221 “ . . .again reemphasized that abortion is completely illegal,- but if a’ physician found it necessary to kill fhe child during the birth process in order to save the mother, then that doctor is not guilty of any crime.” (This Section should not be confused with Section 251 which was amended in 1969.) Further, the demand that “unborn child” be changed to “fetus” finds no backing anywhere in the criminal code: “fetus” is not a legal word. Finally, the claim that there is no legal maximum age limit protecting the unborn child, as stated by Dr. Bezner, is consistent with Section 221. Nowhere in the criminal code is any age limit hinted at. In fact, Section 195 states that the unborn child is not a legal human being until it has completely proceeded in a living state from the body of its mother. Finally, the Chevron reported that it could not find “where Mr. Bezner has obtained his ‘facts’ “. At the time of this writing, no members of the Chevron staff had contacted Dr. Bezner for any information. He was, and is, open to discuss these points. We are equally concerned about other statements in the “Birth Control” article, but we do not intend to pursue these at this time. However, in response to the Chevron’s request for additional contributions by the student body, we would welcome the use of some space in your newspaper to open a discussion with you on this and similar issues. We would appreciate a public reply. What do you say? Jim Ross (U. of W. Pro-Life Group) The cheyron invites any person, or persons who may want to write articles for the paper to come down and talk to us. It is very difficult dealing with people we never see. However, if people wish to open discussions or criticize articles without dealing with staff, then the feedback column is the appropriate place to do this. The chevron staff does not edit or select which letters appear in feedback, except in the case of space limitations. In this case letters are run the next week. Therefore any student is free to reply to any other feedback letter or article that appears in the paper. -lettitor (

Ken Loggins sings almost all of the songs on the first side. He seems more like a-warmup band in his approach. When Messina enters the tempo and spirit definitely picks. up. Side three consists almost entirely of instrumentals. The cuts aren’t that bad but they don’t sound like what Logg!ns and Messina‘ have traditionally done. It could be that this is a preview of what-they will be concentrating on in the future but it certainly does miss the strength of spirit I evident in Full Sail. ’ The last side of the album is definitely the old Loggins and Messina. Songs like Piece of Mind and Lovin’ Me bring back the soft, mellow feeling that is Loggins and Messina’s trademark. This is a ‘!nice” al bum but it does not seem to be on a par with past performances If their last three albums were. gold, _ this’one is but shiny silver. Jesse Colin Young-Light Shine Light Shine is the title of Jesse Colin Young’s third solo album since his departure from the Youngbloods. And like his earlier albums it is a superbly well produced LP that offers a refreshingly clear and distinct sound so rare in many jumbled, confused and poorly mixed albums released recently. The session men Young uses to back him up are all competent experienced musicians-a number of whom lend a vibrant jazz flavour to Jesse Colin Young’s already irreputable country rock repertoire. Side one entitled “California Suite” appears in three smoothly flowing and congenial stages-“ California Child”, Grey Day” and “Light Shine’:. This side is characterized by a well balanced blend of jazz and rock arrangements, capably assisted by ‘some rather exceptional flute, saxaphone and clarinet combinations by Jim RothermeI.\The mellowness of this beautifully pieced together side is suitably interspersed with Jesse Colin Young’s uniquely familiar guttural vocal styles. The three pieces of “C%lifornia Suite” fit comfortably together into a smoothly paceduninterrupted mood that slowly progresses to its conclusion, Light Shine, a beautifully moving musical plea for - harmony among people-tragic, and soulful “moving like a river flows, we can make the feeling grow, if you only shine on all night and day”. All ending with a fast paced interchange of Young’s syllabic utterings and Rothermel’s bopping sax bursts. The changes seem to glide past you into each other and a mellow easy mood prevails. Side two is a less cohesive, more varied andequally enjoyable side. It seems that here Young is trying out a number of musical forms and styles and the uniqueness of. each track make the pieces fit together in somewhat of- a juxtaposed harmony. The first cut, “Pretty and, Fair”, is a sensitively poetic torch ballad that features a steadily flowing percussion set which balances and anchors the fluttering weight-

. less souns of Rothermel’s flute and alto sax offerings. “My dreams are riding -on the wings of nite My sense of grieving in the . morning light ’ -/ As my hand reaches out to touch those Who will not forget to care I will live for the pretty and the fair.” “Barbados”, a tropical island reggae piece;“Motorcycle Blues”, an updated 1940’s rag’n’roll ditty; “The Cuckoo”, Jesse Colin Young’s almost country interpretation of the blues and“‘Susan”, a pleading love ballad, round off the rest of side two. With his threesolo albums and his four or five Youngbloods’ albums Jesse Colin Young has more than proven his masterful ability at producing, writing and arranging fine, satisfying and not too pretentious music. Dr. John-Desitively Bonnaroo In New Orleans cajun circles desitively bonnaroo means “better than the best”. Apparently it originated out of South Louisiana’s Angola Prison located on Bonnaroo Avenue. Being in a call in Angola Prison was far from being desitively bonnaroo. And that’s the title of Dr. John,‘s seventh LP, his third postNite Tripper effort.’ And like his other albums, Gumbo and In the Right Place, Dr. John displays his masterful ability of finding complementary and -experienced session men-this time, a New Orleans band, The Meters-as well as utilizing the production expertise of Allen Toussaint, to come up with another fine New Orleans cajun-blues sound his name has been associated with. Desitively Bonnaroois closely similar to Gumbo and In the Right Place but is slowed down and eased out, a bit more intricate, perhaps a bit more serious. The bestexample of this being “Me-You-Loneliness”, is a soft, harmonious ballad of Dr. John lyrics and his female cohorts’ soulful melodies. However, Dr. John’s more serious side, although more interesting than much of his earlier material, detracts substantially from the rocking beat so characteristic of former foot stomping Dr. John-Mat Rebenneck LPs. The catchiest tracks on this album are Desitively Bonnaroo is closely similar to Gumbo and In the Right Place but it is slowed down and eased out, a bit more intricate, perhaps a bit more serious. The best example of this being “Me-You Loneliness”, is a soft, harmonious ballad of Dr. John lyrics and his female cohorts’ soulful melodies. However, Dr. John’s more serious side, although more interesting than much of his earlier material, detracts substantially from the rocking beat so characteristic of former foot stomping Dr. John-MacRebenneck LP’s. The catchiest tracks on the album are Desitively Bonnaroo, closely based on@ the Right Place and Let’s Make a Better World, an old Earl King tune replete with gospel chorus. This type of song has earned Dr. John a substantial following in rock-cajun circles. Al-.

though this slightly new twist makes for a more varied musical style for Dr. John it does detract from the spontaneous roliicking mood so enticingly contagious of his former arrangements. Dr. John is a proven and polished performer who knows how to put together commercially successful albums. I think with Desitively Bonnaroo he has sacrificed some popular appeal in order to try out a few new tricks. Unfortunately for the listener Dr. John’s most satisfying aspect is sorely missed this time. L BorScaggs-Slow Dancer Ever since Boz Scaggs stoiped playing lead guitar for the Steve Miller Band and began producing and recording his own albums his music has developed into a combination of, two seemingly unsuitable musical formsL one being motown rhythm and blues, the other a Southern States country style similar to Grateful Dead and Steve Miller type music, white soul if you like. Scaggs is white and from Texas and his voice is unusual to say the least but so charged and strained with emotion that you almost convince yourself that his vocal chords are perfectly pitched. However his rhythms and ‘arrangements are motown and funky soul at their finest and most appealing. On an earlier LP entitled My Time Scaggs showed signs-of movjng toward soul swinging arrangements although the album never really makes a definite decision as to which approach he actually prefers. Nonetheless My Time is startlingly satisfying; It seems that on his latest work Slow Dancer Scaggs has finally made up --a-his mind-it’s soul all the way, even to the point of using one of Motown’s foremost producers, Johnny Bristol to help with the writing, producing and arranging of the album. ’ The musical arrangements are slick, professional and well-done, strings and sax adding a nice touch to the sometimes powerful harshness of Scaggs’ voice, the background vocals are also well integrated, coming out at the right times, always bubbling and popping. The session men and singers Scaggs uses remain anonymous. However the singular aspect that makes this album so very fine is of course Boz Scaggs’ passionate soulful voice both soothing and awesomely stir. ring at the same time. -The initial attractivenss of Slow _ Dancer is it’s fast rocking rhythms “Let it Happen”, Angel Lady (Come Just in Time)“. But upon further and closer listening the beautifully poetic ballads such as “You Make It So Hard (To Say No)“, “Slow Dancer”, “Pain of Love” and ‘Sail on White Moon (Across the Dark and Starry Sky)” begin to slow your dancing down, captivate and convince you of this album’s tender dreamdark nature. If you’veever been a motown fan and have been discouraged by it’s rather’mediocre decline in the last seven or eight ‘years then Slow Dancer should give you a heart throbbing lift. It is physical music at its foot-stomping, hand-clapping, woeful and tearful best. _ -kati -vince

_The Dybbuk John Hirsch’s adaptation of S. Ansky’s “The Dybbuk” played Tuesday to a capacity crowd at UW’s humanities theatre. The play was produced by the Manitoba Theatre Centre and promoted by Canada Council. While we, as audience, were only too pleased to have the Canada - Council send us this colorful show, it did present some serious problems for John Hirsch’s visual concept . Unlike most touring companies the MTC did not travel with its own lights and its own lighting board. The theatre’s facilities were not equal to the demands and it becomes unfair to say that so much of the lighting effects, because of their ineffectiveness, seemed unnecessary. A beautiful set by Maxine Graham was not seen in total. The proscenium arch was too small for the set and a couple of feet of the top front arch was lost. The set was placed off-centre to accommodate the sight lines on one side of the theatre. In addition to the ark-like set, reminiscent of many middle-European wooden synagogues, Ms. Graham, a former ’ UW lecturer, designed the ark curtains, props and furniture as well as the holy curtains. Mark Negin did the magnificent tapestry backdrop as well as the costumes. The hats were most effective and while the costumes were fine in design they suffered a little in execution. No doubt budget dictated the use of synthetic fabrics whenthe designs demanded texture and coarseness. John Hirsch admits frankly that his choice of The Dybbuk was with a Jewish audience in mind. Sixty per cent of the MTC’s audiences are ’ Jewish and the large Ukrainian population easily understands this play about peasants. Also we are-in the midst of what might be referred to as an ethnic revival in North America. After World War II Yiddish fell into disuse as the resurgence of hebrew in Israel and of jewish writing in other languages absorbed jewish creativity. Then in the ‘60’s a revival of the Yiddish language as well as Yiddish literature in translation took place. Consider the phenomenal run of Fiddler On The Roof and the popularity of books such as Leo Rosten’s The Joys of Yiddish. This ethnic revival is not exclusive to Jews in ,North America but extends to other minority groups. Where the second generation between the great wars sought more actively to set aside their roots and “melt into world war generation moves to revive the the pot”, the post-second notion of cultural pluralism. This feeling of nostalgia for the past may be a longing for the stability in human relations and human feelings. It corresponds with a present when much of society is called into question. “The Dybbuk” is a play about the ethic of the Ashkenazic Jew. This ethic is not burdened with the notion of original sin or the innate moral wleakness of man. His sins are his very own. He may incline either to good or to evil but if to evil it is only temporary. Jewish tradition is convinced of man’s ultimate superiority over evil. A temporary victory by evil is seen as the result of circumstanceswhich are external or of sickness and aberration which is internal. Good will conquer evil not by faith but by study and obedience to “The Law” and its moral precepts. Anski considered the sole motif of the Jewish folk tale as spiritual struggle. The action begins in a synagogue. A young rabbi, Channon longs for Leah, only daughter of a rich man, Sender. Sender.contracts her to a marriage with someone else. Channon, who has been delving into sacred books of mystical thought like the Kabbalah, which might be described as fraught with danger, feels that his efforts through prayer, ritual and fasting have failed to save Leah from a marriage to someone else. In his despair he dies. As a tormented soul he cannot rest. He enters the body of Leah like a worm in the form of a Dybbuk. Leah is then “possessed” of another person’s soul. ’ Since the sins of the father often descend on the children it is revealed that Sender has ignored a debt of blood. There was the matter of a promise between two friends not kept. Ambitions for a wealthy marriage for his daughter came to weigh more on Sender than his promise to give his daughter in marriage to his dead friend’s son, Channon. Sender finally admits his responsibility and self-deception, accepts his penance and the rite of exorcism begins. .Rabbi Ezrielke after much struggle succeeds in freeing Leah from the Dybbuk. Channon’s early spiritual struggle has not been in vain. For though he veered from the prescribed path in his spiritual strivings, he says, “Kabbalah-strengthens my soul for the flight to God’s throne. The Kabbalah raises this body of dust and sanctifies it with Holy flames and I then everything becomes possible.” True justice occurs when Channon triumphs over death. He departs from Leah’s body only to return to join her soul. Leah thus joins Channon outside physical existence. John Hirsch as director has exercised firm control over all aspects of this production. There is a feeling that perhaps he has over-produced and allowed too little freedom to his artists. Actors who are capable of highly imaginative and creative performances settled for being merely competent. Then too, the special rhythms of speech and cadences that we associate with those, whose ears are tuned to the yiddish is not to be found anywhere except in the comic characters. This seemed too contrived. -Irene

There was some toe tapping and hand clapping music happening in the Theatre of the Arts last Thursday night due to the lively music of the Good Brothers.

The Good Brothers are three Toronto musicians who have taken up blue grass music. Despite the considerable distance between the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia and hogtown they’ve become fairly competent at presenting Canadianized American bluegrass music. ‘They presented a good tight sound of bass, autoharp, guitar and banjo complemented by harmonies from all three. The evening was highlighted by three songs from the legendary Hank Williams. Their rendition of Mansion on the Hill, the Wild Side of Life and I Saw the Light did Hank’s fine music justice. They also offered some excellent instrumentals. Two of these were originals, Dixieland Breakdown and Orange Blossom Special. If the band can continue to write enough of this kind of material to fill up their repetoire, they’ll have no trouble gaining recognition.

One serious weakness in their performance and their material is that at times they begin singing about such vacuous topics as getting stoned and how incredibly ‘high’ I am. It was downrightbad taste when they sang a revised version of the Scottish hymn Amazing Grace-about smoking dope and getting really high. I must admit that I enjoy some of the finer pleasures of life but surely there is no need to harp on the subject. The concert was remarkably well produced by the Federation. The lighting was well handled. Combinations of greens, blues and yellows illuminated the stage to suit the changing moods of each song. The concert was accousticly better than any federation concert that I’ve seen. Each instrument and voice could be heard accurately and distinctly. The federation should be encouraged to continue the concert series in the Theatre in the Arts. Despite the low attendance the concert should be termed a success because the feeling in the audience was one of good times and pure enjoyment which are qualities found less and less at the concerts that echo through the phys. ed. complex. After all concerts are not money making affairs for the federation but instead cultural events.

What this means to Time is a loss of revenue from Canadian advertisers who would move their accounts to some place still allowed the tax break. Time Canada is the biggest of Time’s International editions selling over 500,000 copies per week, an increase of over 100 percent since the late fifties.

Only today Time is using its influence in Canada to prevent government legislation which would say Time and the Readers Digest are not Canadian publications, and would tax them accordingly. The fuss was started by a brief reference in the Throne speech to the gouernment’s commitment to helping the Canadian periodical industry. This might mean removing tax exemptions from Time and the Digest that allow Canadian businesses to advertise in the two magazines and write off the expenses against their taxes.

Time magazine is “the single greatest manipulator of public opinion inthe 20th century,” according to W.A. Swanbury’sPulitzer Prize winning book, Lute and His Empire. The late Henry Lute, an old right-winger and publisher of Time, recognized this fact but felt it was the magazine’s responsibility to, in his own words, “extend upon the world the full impact of our influence, for such purpose as we see fit and by such means as we see fit.” While Lute died in 1967, his beliefs about the magazine’s right to influence public opinion are still

Time did not make the magazine or its publisher very happy. But John Diefenbaker, after being elected in 1937, rescued the magazine by dropping the tax from his 1958 budget. The magazine was most complimentary to the “chief’ but the personal intervention of US President Dwight Eisenhower was probably even more influential in changing the tax laws. “What are you doing to our Time magazine up there?“, asked Eisenhower (a close friend of the then editor-i&chief Henry Lute) of Diefenbaker. But the Prime Minister was also catching flack at home from businessmen.

’ hibit the free flow of thought across our borders. ” If the message was not clear enough, personal communications between Kennedy and Pearson, and American threats about the Auto Pact, then under negotiation, were enough to make sure the Liberals exempted the two magazines from their legislation. Senator O’Leary’told the Senate in 1965. that he saw in the exemptions, pressure from an American hand. “I don’t think there’s a shadow of doubt about it,” he said. “If there was ever a more illogical, more inconsistent law ever passed by a Parliament I don’t know where or when it was.” But statements by Walter Gordon, the Minister of Finance at the time the legislation was ‘passed, proved that while O’Leary was right about American influence he was wrong about logic and inconsistency. “The US State Department went into action,” Gordon said in a 1969 speech. “It’s representatives urged on behalf of the whole US administration that nothing should be done that would in any way upset the late Henry Lute, the proprietor of Time.” “It was submitted that Mr. Lute had great power in the United States through his magazines, Time, Life and Fortune, and if he were irritated the results could be most damaging both to Canada and to the US administration.” “The Canadian government concluded, quite rightly in my opinion, that there was’ considerable validity to these assertions respecting the influence of Mr. Lute and, accordingly the Canadian edition of Time magazine was exempted,” he said. “I was aware,” Gordon says in his memoirs, “of the power and influence of Mr. Lute and of the difficulties in getting the US Congress to approve the automobile deal.” In spite of the logic of the move, Gordon said in his book a Choice for Canada, that guiding the bill through the house and explaining it to the Liberal caucus was “one of the most unpalatable jobs I had to do during my period in government.” During the ratification debate in 1965 Senator O’Leary angrily told tlie Senate, “if this House votes for this legislation, it will be voting for the proposition that Washington has a right to interfere in a matter of purely Canadian concern, and voting a possible death sentence on Canadian periodical press, with all this can entail for our future voyage through history.” Some of the government agreed with his sentiments. During the vote in Commons 3 1 Liberals were absent, refusing to support the vote. But the biggest threat of all to Time’s Canadian citizenship and profits was still to come in the form of Senator Keith Davey’s Royal Commission on-the Mass Media, in 1969. Time was not overly’concerned by the commission. LaRue candidly said that their being a foreign publication was not a hindrance. “There is no flack at all from the advertising agencies,” he said, “in fact our being American seems to attract them. The agencies dislike the nationalism furor that went on at the time of the (O’Leary) Royal Commission.”

However, following the paths of most royal commissions, Davey’s Mass Media Commission was promptly shelved. and forgotten after publication. But Davey, a’ Liberal organizer and the man who engineered the party’s brilliant 1974 election campaign was not so easily forgotten. ’ Nor were Hugh Faulkner, or other members of Trudeau’s cabinet, who wanted a somewhat more nationalistic slant concerning cultural, if not economic, affairs. The result was the brief section from the Throne Speech calling for support of Canadian’ publications and the start of a new campaign by Time. This time, however, things are - not going so well for Time. MacLean-Hunter, now smelling not only Time’s profits, but government aid as well, has decided to_. oppose Time again. In fact, MacLeans magazine is already planning to go weekly with a staff of 60 to replace Time magazine. Editor Peter C. Newman is even reported to have made tentative staffing arrangements in case the government ends the tax exemptions.

“But it’s a very expensive and powerful lobby running around on Parliament Hill, though I don’t know if they’ll be as successful as’ they were.” Davey also says, “I would think the government should’be encouraged by the public response they have been getting supporting removing the exemptions.‘*’ Some groups are actively lobbying against Time. Sheryl Taylor-Munro, executive-coordinator of the 70 member Canadian Periodical Association, says the removal of Time and the Digest’s tax concessions will “bring a little health to Canada’s publishing industry. ’ Removal of these concessions has been one of the major objectives of the association since it was formed, she says. She admits Time may be right when it says ads taken from, them may not go to other Canadian magazines, but she says, “granted that while the whole 100 per cent may not go to Canadian magazines, even a quarter is $4,000,000.” She also points out that a significant amount of advertisements in Time and the Digest are placed

by the federal government or its agencies. And this she hopes, would certainly go to Canadian magazines. Jim Lorimer, President of the Independent Publishers Association interested in says, “everyone Canadian writing should welcome the news that the federal govemment is going to eliminatefinally-the fiction that Time and the Readers Digest are Canadian magazines.” But while Canada’s publishers may have turned ag&nst Time, the magazine can not be called friendless. Some of Time’s friends are very important and Trudeau’s cabinet is split over the issue. Backing Secretary of State Hugh Faulkner, on the decision to rescind the magazine’s citizenship, are Energy Minister Donald MatDonald, Industry Minister Alistair Gillespie, Barney Dawson from Urban Affairs,. and Indian Affairs Minister Jud Buchanan. Hugh Faulkner has said he has not defined Canadian content, “but four pages isn’t it,” referring to Time Canada’s section. The men backing Time are Bud .Drury of Public Works and Mitchell Sharp of the Privy Council. Drury says of the present situation, “we’ve had a pretty satisfactory evolution through competition . . . . .we could have more to lose than gain by getting rid of Canadian editions.” He has stated he agrees with one argument that Time presented to cabinet, that Canada would be deprived of Time’s Canadian section without the advertising money going to other Canadian magazines. But Paul Zimmerman, head of Readers Digest in Canada, has been lobbying Drury, and the main topic of discussion probably is another one of Time’s points. Time said of its Montreal printing operation in its cabinet brief: “If circulation were to fall ,below a level that makes it economically feasible to print Time in Canada, we could find it expedient to move all magazine printing to a plant in the US with absolutely,no revenue going to Canadian suppliers of raw materials or services.” Drury must find this agrument persuasive. His Westmount riding contains the printshop ‘which would lose money and release workers if Time moves. Although a change to the income tax act would normally be a budget matter it is reported that John Turner’s *budget early next month will not contain the changes. Finance departmental sources indicate they consider the issue a cultural sovereignty matter to be handled by Hugh Faulkner. This will require a separate bill and because of that, Canadian Periodical Associatioh Coordinator, Taylor-Munro, says,, “the US magazine has won the first round. ’ ’ The move, she says, will delay. implementation of the bill allowing the magazines even’ more time to lobby. As long as the two American magazines can compete.. unfairly, Canadian periodicals will be disadvantaged, the Davey Commission felt. No matter who wins the lobbying or which way the campaign, cabinet decides, things may already be too late for one magazine. Saturday Night, one of the nation’s oldest and best magazines, recently folded because their printers would not start ‘the presses unless they could be shown they might be paid. Considering the magazine had been losing between eight and ten thousand dollars an issue, this was not particularly likely. Saturday Night’s Chairman, Edgar Cowan, said, “If the magazine had five per cent of Time Canada’s monthly advertising revenue, it might not be in a financial bind.”
