Committee to look into dispute’ _--\
Rension College’s board of governors decided Saturday to establish a nine-member committee (three profs, three students and three board members) to resolve a two week dispute, triggered by the firing of two profs Oct. 3 I, between the college and students protesting the dismissals. The committee will be announced Wednesday, after elections are held Tuesday for the student seats. Its general thrust will be to recommend new policies regarding the objectives of the academic programme, hirings and firings of profs and the “role of the church in the life of the college.” The committee was establishedto meet criticism that followed the dismissals and ‘charges that students and faculty have little say in how the college operates. Meanwhile, the .Renison Academic Assembly (RAA-a stud-
ent-faculty body formed to protest the firings) decided Monday not to participate on the committee .as it was felt that students could easily be overruled in any suggestion by the combined votes of other committee members. About 50 students turned up at the RAA meeting, and after little discussion they decided to call off the boycott of classes as there wasn’t much student support. The boycott is “alienating a lot of people from our cause?’ said RA,A spokesperson Janet Steele. The students decided to hold a’ funeral parade “for the death of academic freedom” next Thursd ay, to symbolize what they see as the essence of the collegedispute. The funeral will also generate publicity and will probably be staged around the campus and the K-W community. The dispute was caused by the
dismissals of applied social science Prof. Jeffrey Forest and academic dean Hugh Miller and over a teaching ban against UW human relations prof Marsha Forest whose cross-appointment to Renison was severed (a cross-appointment allows a prof to teach both at his department and another). Students formed eight advisory committees to bolster recruitment into the group and to research and disseminate information. The group was informed by the student rep on the board of governors that the firing of Jeffrey Forest and the teaching ban against Marsha Forest were upheld by the board. However the board deferred consideration of Miller’s firing pending further negotiations. The board also.extended voting rights to three student reps and one faculty rep who previously attended board meetings only as abservers.

Mary-Jane
endorsed
The Kitchener-Waterloo District Labour Council has endorsed the candidacy of Mary-Jane Mewhinney for Waterloo city council alder\ woman. Mewhinney was first elected to city council two years ago with the smallest popular vote of all successful candidates. The labour council also endorsed incumbent Morley Rosenberg, and newcomers Konrad Spilles, Geortfe Gable and Oriville Thacker all seeking seats on Kitchener City council. Konrad Spilles is president of local 7138, United Steel Workers of America. Other candidates seeking a seat on Waterloo city council includes incumbents Roy Bauman and Harold Wagner, both retired citizens, architectural designer, Charles Voelker and local teacher, Bob Heney. Newcomers to the aldermanic race include, insurrance salesman Carl Sulliman, shipping clerk, Paul Gellatly, Waterloo‘housewife Marjorie Carroll, a lawyer Rudolf Kominek, a consultant Brian Turnbull, sales representative William Ufflman. Also running are four university students, including federation board of publicatioas chairperson Terry Harding, federation board of communications chairperson Kathy Reynolds, Joe Cooper, a participant in last summer’s Housing ‘74 project and Bruce Woodrow. One Wilfrid Laurier ‘University student Eileen Zamke is in the running. In the race for Waterloo mayor, incumbent Don Meston is opposed by only one candidate, present alderman Herb Epp,‘a local high school teacher. The election is scheduled for December 2 next month. Polling booth locations have not yet been announced. . .
Sugarbush
.
under attack
The city of Waterloo’s chief planner, Richard Danziger has recommended to city council that it not approve Sugarbush Holdings Limited proposed development of 53 “estate” homes in the $70,000 plus price range. Despite this recommendation, city council voted six to two in favour of giving the developer six more months to study the reports from the Environmental Studies faculty at the University of Waterloo which revealed the ecological instability of the area’s water table and steep slopes of the land to be developed. Alder-woman Mary-Jane Mewhinney voted against the motion saying “it would be foolish to fool around with an area such as this”. The only other alderman to support her opposition to the motion was retired Waterloo citizen, Roy Bauman. Mewhinney referred to a planning department report that concluded “the element of risk of septic tank failure” , resulting in pollution of the area’s ground water, “is very much present on the site notwithstanding the engineering solutions to the situation”. The report concluded this failure would result in the city being pressured to service the area with sewer and water lines. This would be expensive because the development is several miles from the closest water main. Supporter of the motion, Alderman Voelker claimed “we have little information on this matter and should allow the developer time to suggest solutions to the problems”. Both the recent regional policies plan and the city’s Ecological and Environmental Advisory Committee have urged the city council to not consider any kind of development in the area. The regional policy plan has designated the area a Type ‘A’ Ecologically Sensitive Area which should be protected from development. The developer’s lawyer, Frank Nowak told city council that despite the reports recommending that the site be spared from development they are consulting hydrologists, ecologists and an architect to revise . their plans “to compensate for the areas instability”.
defer
Toviler talks ”
regional
plan
Waterloo city council has requested the Regional Municipality of Waterloo to defer the approval of the Official Policies Plan until March 3 1,1975. Once approved by Regional Council the plan will be a binding legal document guiding all planning and development in the region for the next 25 years. Bill Thomson, commissioner of planning for the Waterloo region is pushing the regional council to pass the document by the end of this month. If Thomson has his way the public and various councils within the region will have only one month and a day to examine and consider the important document. Kitchener alderman Morley Rosenberg, a member of the regional committee of planning and development has already urged Thomson to slow down on the preparation and approval of the plan. He pointed out that the Ontario government has given the region until December 3 1, 1975 to approve the plan. The other planning committee members gave Rosenberg no support in his motion. Mr. Thomson feels it is imperative for the region to get its over-all plan in draft shape and to the provincial government for approval so that it would not be holding up approval of the member-municipalities’ local offical plans. These cannot be passed until the region’s plan is approved since they must conform with the region’s official plan. At present the plan is being aired at several public meetings throughout the region. Attendance at these meetings has been slight reflecting the little interest raised among the public for this important document. There has been little opposition to the plan at these meetings so it appears the approval of this document rests solely with politicians in the region. -michael

WV engineers were challenged Thursday to become “socially responsible” by University of Virginia engineering prof Vince Uhl. See story page 5.
Roberts to solve OSAP gripes Shane Roberts, chairman of the federation’s board of education is setting up a counselling service for students having problems with their OSAP grants and loans. Roberts has met with the various societies on campus to ask them to draw up a complaint form to be given to students to list their complaints. These forms will be sent on to the Ontario Federation of Students (OFS) who will use each case to help draw up their demands for reform of Ontario’s loan and grant programmes. Environmental Studies society has already drawn up their form which asks for students complaints and also for any suggestions the student may have for demands OFS should make to the provincial government. Engineering and Mathematics societies have not yet drawn up their form. The Science society told the chevron that they were not present at the meeting with Roberts. The Arts and Kinesiology societies could not be reached for comment. Shane Roberts told the chevron he has already dealt with four complaints from students relating to their loans-. Of these four cases, three related to problems students had being classified as dependant on their parents’ income when in fact they had been living independant of their parents for many
years. Roberts accompanied one student to a meeting with the university’s award officer D.E. Reynolds. Roberts commented “Reynolds was fairly helpful within the bureaucratic guidelines of the province. These are things he cannot get around”. Roberts added “he has been most helpful in passing on facts to the federation of students”. The province has announced a new loan programme to relieve those students who would normally be expected to receive financial assistance from his or her parents under the terms of OSAP. The loans will amount to a max.imum of $500 at a rate of interest of 10 per cent. Repayment of the loan must begin no later than 12 months after the loan is negotiated and repayment be completed no later than 24 months after the loan is negotiated. This poses a problem for the stu,dent who takes a loan out on three successive years because by the third ‘year he will be paying two loans plus the compounded interest. ’ Under the OSAP programme a student does not have to begin repayment of the loan until 6 months after they cease being a full time student, giving the student more time to repay the loan. , OFS points out the undue financial hardships as exemplified in this new programme, illustrates the government’s view of education as an individual benefit to be financed largely by the individual and his or her family. OFS feels the government has a responsibility to educate all its citizens on an equitable basis. Under present programmes students with higher incomes are better able to meet the rising costs of education. OFS wants to see an end to “the government quite consciously referring to its student aid programmes as akin to welfare”. -michael

Renison College principal John Towler isn’t, to say the least, in the most enviable position on campus. His move to. terminate the contracts of applied social science prof Jeffrey Forest and pyschology prof Hugh Miller, coupled with the barring of UW human relations prof Marsha Forest from “teamteaching” with her husband at Renison, prompted considerable uproar in many campus quarters. But despite calls from students for his resignation, Towler se.emed quite confident, in an interview Friday, that he had acted in the best interests of Renison. In fact the Renison board of governors approved Saturday the actions taken regarding the Forests, but it deferred a decision on Miller pending further negotiations. Expressing annoyance at the constant mention of Marsha Forest as a cross-appointed prof to Renison, Towler said that in fact she’d never been given such status. “There’s nothing in my files that say she is.” A cross-appointment refers to a prof who can teach both at his home department and another. Also, according to Towler, former acting principal Donald M’Timkulu confirmed in a letter sent to all board members, that Marsha Forest doesn’t have a cross-appointment. However, the Renison academic calendar lists Marsha Forest as having a crossappointment. ,Towler didn’t want to discuss the reasons for the termination of the contracts due to “legalities”, However, he stressed the point that Miller, after receiving his notice, acted in a “highly ethical” fashion as he continued to hold classes. The same can’t be said for Jeffrey Forest, who, according to Towler, behaved “in a very unprofessional manner.” Moreover, Forest, who recieved his highest diploma in education, was made last year a teacher of social work, a field in which he has no degree’ said Towler. But according to Forest’s curriculum vitae, he has taught for two summers at Frontier College, an institution noted for social work training as all instructors have to work and teach men in labour camps in the remote and unpopulated areas of Canada. Towler also said he had no other route to follow in terminating the profs contracts, but to take the matter directly to the executive committee of the board of governors. The only other body that could deal with such a matter, i.e.’ the faculty-student council (a structure set up to regulate academic matters), had no legal constitution he said. Towler said that even before he took over as principal, in September, he received unsolicited letters from both faculty members and’ students advising him on who he should fire. Now, three months later, Towler almost wishes he hadn’t taken the position as the problems are far more serious than he expected.

Women fight sexism REGINA (CUP)-The women’s centre at the University of Regina. is preparing a brief to tell the university’s commission on the status of women that they feel female students are discriminated against. The 10 member commission was set up by the board of governors to find out if women are being discriminated against at the academic administrative, staff or student levels regardless of whether its deliberate or not. j “Discrimination against women students is usually very subtle. Because the conditioning of women starts when we are in grade school and high school, by the time we get to university many of us have all ready accepted the idea that we should go into women’s fields. In university this just continues,” said a spokeswoman from the women’s centre. She added that from time to time the women’s centre, has gotten complaints about particular professors who used offensive analogies or ridiculed women, but they have been unable to do anything about it because the women had not wanted to lodge official complaints for fear of possible repercussions. “Now, however, she said “we hope women will feel free to present their complaints to be presented to a commission set up for this purpose.” The women’s centre indicated they would help individual women prepare briefs to the commission, and said they hoped the topics would cover everything from discrimination in the classroom, to bursaries, admissions and guidance counselling.
Vince Uhl, a chemical erigineering prof, ffom the University of Virginia, challenged all engineers to become socially reponsible at a “distinguished speaker seminar” Thursday. Uhl said engineers should have a stronger impact on public policy, especially’in the technical areas of energy planning and ecological conservatipn. He said they seem to have less of an influence now thati ’ 20 years ago, and the reason lies in the fact that the professional societies and associations can no longer t+ke a united stand on contemporary problems. If they could come up with a united stand on technical issues which affect the living standards of spciety, Uhl felt that engineers could become a powerful lobby in making public policies. Why aren’t engineers influential in today’s society? To which Uhl estimated that the answer lies
within’ the character of engineers. He said th%t the engineer is normally “politically conservative” ; work-orientated; practical; has few personal problems (he estimated the suicide {and alcoholism rate among engiveers is low); would rather read Time and Reader’s Digest than opinion journals ; does not like to fail and is usually a family man. He said that these traits, along with the point that most engineers work for large corporations, tend to “effectively neutralize” most engineers. k What’s the answer then? Uhl said the engineer “has not yet shown himself socially responsible” but that there is hope if new , organizations can be’ formed in order to make the opinions of the engineering profession known at all levels of government and if the individual engineer is willing to get involved in political lobbying. -phi1

Ontario women confer (CUP)-More than 40 women students from across Ontario recently attended a conference on the role of women in post-secondary education and reached agreement on a number of issues. The conference, held at Guelph University, was organized by the Guelph Student Association and the Ontario Federation of Students. Much of the conference involved discussion on strategies for changing such problems as sex typmg m post secondary education (in course content and channeling), lack of resources for women students, the lack of adequate day care facilities and the scarcity of women faculty and administrators. Course unions, women’s core groups to initiate actions, and an increase of the number of women on existing bodies were all seen as that could improve 0actibns women’s positions. Debra Louis, a past executive member of the Ontario Federation of Students suggested that groups organize committees dealing with events on campus. _She suggested such things ti’s a women’s orientation day, counsell& and referral centres, resource centres, cultural and educational events, and women’s festivals. The lack of women’s studies courses in Ontario was criticised as the deleg_ates felt thwe were necessary to provide roll models and encourage women to challenge the male dominated university power structure. Ceta Ramkhalawansingh, a cofounder of the first women’s studies course at, the University of Toronto, spoke of the need for such courses to allow wometi to learn about their history, develop a philosophy free from male domination and work toward a more egalitarian university system. Women’s history is virtually being ignored, she said, pointing to women’s contributions in the Sufragette Movement, politics, trade unionism, and professional work. Dr. Margaret Anderson, of the Contemporary Foreign Languages Department at Guelph University pointed out that as the year of education increases, the per centage of female enrollment drops. Even within universities, she said that students had very little opportunity to be taught by or learn about women. She told the dele-
OMB app,eal for new* plaza
gates that 60 per cent of graduating Canadian students feel they have not learned enough about women’s history or philosophy. U of T Philosophy Professor, Dr. Lorenne Clarke, stressed the need for more women to get into controlling areas of the-university to change stereo-typed attitudes y She wArned that women must cooperate with each other in an attitude of mutual respect, and ayoid becoming coopted into a power system that p&motes the competitive elitism of the present sysiem.

_ . . ,: Less loan moneys
(CUP)-Student assistance should perhaps be more closely geared to their financial needs, Secretary of State Hugh Faulkner said yesterday (Nov 6). Spkaking to the annual meeting of the Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada, Faulkner said the federal g$vernment will continue financial support for the universities in the general advancement of knowledge and he also called for discussions leading to renewal or modification in 1977 of current government financing program-s for universities. “The ultimate question is whether the government is making the most responsible application of the more than $2 billion it now-is spending annually in these areas (research and the operational costs) of post-secondar$ education,” said Faulkner. While the government got into the financing of un’iversity education because of its post war growth and the need to push scholarship and research, its main concern now is with the advancement of knowledge, equality of opportu’nity and cultural development. On the question of equality of opportunity however, he indicated government concern about general subsidies at the university level of education, when learning difficulties for many students develop in primary and secondary schools. “While I do not want to dispute the fact that post-secondary education provides benefits to society at large, nevertheless I wonder whether these benefits alone are sufficient to justify the present dis-
tribution of federal support,” he said. “We should perhaps begin to examine the financial needs of students in the light of what is being. done for other groups in terms of income maintenance, and treat this question-apart from any scheme of merit awards-as a genuine social security pre-employment issue.” But currently, Faulkner added, Ottawa’s financial commitment in education is primarily at the postsecondary level, and students who have reached this level are, or will be, “among the most advantaged groups in the nation. To the extent that federal support enables institutions to hold tuition fees down, many relatively well-off students might be unjustifiably subsidized,” he said. * He also noted that education is becoming a life-long activity for many people and the provinc& are studying the feasibility and desirability of some form of aid to parttime students.

No loans 2for . ec’students (CUP)-No student loans have been granted to Quebec postsecondary students by the provincial government so far this year and the prospect of any being granted over the’ next two months looks bleak. This startling information was revealed at a Sir George Williams University Council on Student Life (UCSL) meeting by Dean of Students Magnus Flynn. “The problem as we understand it involves unsettled negotiations between the banks and the government on the question of interest rates ,” he said. Now that the problem is known, said Flynn, it becomes easy to understand why many students have been applying for emergency loans q in recent weeks. - “Most students who had to apply for government assistance are probably living on summer earnings which must be dwindling by

Macrotastrophe’ The huge size of the recent oil spill off the southern coast of Chile points to the fact that the major oil companies are entering into a conspiracy against the world’s : weather. One of the 35 ‘supertankers’ Shell Oil Company operates in its fleet spilled about one third of its 200,000 ton cargo off the Straits of Magellan, the southern part of South Amerika. The weather was rather inclement at the time and for some reason the huge tanker became grounded. Through what a Shell--Oil spokesperson called a ‘monumental achievement’ the tanker was able to float free of its obstruction. The oil slick, at the time of releasing the crude, would have covered a square mile of the ocean’s surface to a depth of about one foot. The same Shell spokesperson stressed that the company would have paid for the cost of cleaning up the spill (they would not however perform the actual physical operations): The Chilean government decided not to put this company to such trouble and authorized Shell to ‘disperse’ the slick. Dispersants actually do disperse the slick but the oil does not disappear but just forms ,a thinner slick, covering a larger area of the ocean. It is conceivable that this slick could cover up to a million square miles of the surface of the world’s seas. This particular spill is extremely dangerous since it has occurred on top of the ocean current which flows along the western coast of South Amerika. The current could transport the slick over the already
overfished anchovy grounds off Ecuador and Peru. In addition to harming the marine life directly, this slick will limit evaporation from the ocean’s surface; the major reason for the world’s weather. Exxon is presently planning with Japanese shipbuilders for 500,000 ton tankers. Spills from such craft could seriously affect the total ocean’s evaporation before the spill is eventually degraded by natural processes. Such occurrances could really cause a world food shortage. -reid

He choose to do thisl.in the rapid fire style of a self-interview. . ,Bill, can you give us anoverall impression of your
kind of effect did this have on you Bill?
It exposed me to a kind of suffering I had forgotten existed. The whole malnutrition survey did this. too. I guess I vaguely knew this kind of agony existed in the world but I had filed it away somewhere in an unused corner of my mind. Suddenly-I was in the middle of it and I couldn’t escape it. It was a realization. This whole segment of humanity suffering like this?
Kind of a shock. They outnumber us. I knew most people lived in poverty but in affluent ,North America the nearest you get to the -poor is-usually your TV. And then you usually switch off that programme for a hockey game or something else lighter. You don’t realize your switching off two thirds of humanity. ..
How did y&‘respond
to this
shock?
With confusion, then ,frustration, then anger. I couldn’t live with these people for two years and not feel a part of them. Yet their, problems are so immense. A simple thing like whether a’baby lives or dies depends on foreign medicine, money for clinics, better highways, better nutrition, adequate housing safe from the rains and pneumonia. And its all tied in ‘with the ministry of health’s budget .and the economic. state of the country which in turn isusually getting ripped-off by a bad trade agreement with London, Washington or Ottawa. But what was I, one CUSO-, supposed to do about / i all this? Have you maintained

More. I don’t think oppression is just political, it’s economic, social and psychological also, In the master-slave relationship, whether it’s North . America to the Third World, government to its peaple, white OI+ black, or man to woman the same dymanics apply. Even in the psychological sense, exploitation permits neither the exploiter nor the exploited .to be free, to love or care, to grow or actualize themselves. aBoth are trapped in a roleplaying prison. Is this some of the reasons for your continuing kinds of interests in Canada?

A modein parable There was once a factory which ‘emptoyed ,’ thousands of people. its production line was a miracle of modern engineering, turning out thousands of machines every day. The factory had a high accident ~ rate. The complicated machinery of therproduction tine took little account of human error, forgetfutness, or ignorance. Day after day, men came. out of fhe factory with squashed fingers, cuts, bruises. Somettm+a, a man would lose an arm or a leg. Occaslonaliy, someone was electrocuted or crushed to death. Enlightened people began to see that something needed to be done. First on the scene were the churches. An enterprising minister organized a small first-aid tent outside the factory gate. Soon, with the backing of the council of churches, it grew into a properly built clinic, able to give first-aid to quite seriouscases; and totreat minor injuries. The town council became interested, together with local bodies like the chamber of -commerce and the rotary club. Several lives were saved. Finally, the factory management, seeing the good that was being done and wishing to prove itself enlightened, gave the hospital its official backing, a small annual grant, unrestricted access to the factory, and an ambulance to speed serious cases from the workshop to the hospital ward. But year.by year, as production increased, the accident rate continued to rise. More~and more men were hurt and maimed. And in spite of everything the hospital could do, more and more people diedfrom the .injuries they received. Only then did some people begin to ask if it was enough to treat people’s injuries, white leaving untouched the machinery that caused them.

unity Centre’s prime purCanadians aware of the pment. That it begins in West and that individual s of the whole process of :hree staffers of the centre edia, community groups, classes as ,well as study . rnzs within the centre to ’ the Third World.
by Doug Ward The gap between the fine sounding rhetoric given by western countries in regards to assistance to ‘developing’ countries and the-actual practice of these words is becoming increasingly wide; almost as wide as the material gap between our western world and the so-called ,‘Third World’. We all know of this gap. Graphic images of the victims of the drought in the Sahel in West Africa or of their counterparts in flood ridden Bangladesh stand out in our media. The power of these images is ovewhelming and all too often either sends us wallowing in a pit of sentimentality and guilt or deadens our feelings and makes “underdevelopment” seem a part of the natural scheme of things-inevitable. In a book called “How Europe Underdeveloped Africa”, a Guyanese historian named Walter Rodney questions whether malnutrition and disease is inevitable or whether in fact, they are by-products of a world-wide plan to transfer the-resource wealth of one part of the world to another: Colonialism created conditions which led not just of periodic famine but to chronic undernourishment, malnutrition and deterioration in the physique of the African people. If such a statement sounds wildly extravagant, it is only because bourgeois propaganda has conditioned‘even Africans to believe that malnutrition and starvation were the natural lot of African from time immemorial. A black child with a transparent rib-cage, huge head, bloated stomach, protruding eyes, and twigs as arms and legs was the favourite poster of the large British charitable operation know as “Oxfam”. The poster represented a case of Kwashiorkerextreme malignant malutrition. “Oxfam” called upon the people of Europe to save starving African and Asian children from Kwashiorkor and such ills. “Oxfam” never, bothered their consciences by telling them
that capitalism and colonialism created the starvation, suffering and misery of the child in the first place. Rodney’s anger is directed at those in the West who show deep concern for the millions of people who live in countries termed ‘underdeveloped’ or ‘developing’ yet fail to recognize and challenge the man-made structures which are at the root of develpment problems. Overseas volunteers are all too often among this group of people and as such, according to Third World theorists, remain part of the problem rather than part of the solution. The sensitivity and good will of most volunteers cannot be denied, however, the complex realities of neo-colonialism and underdevelopment often reduces idealism to an anachronism. The volunteer does not fit into an overall effort by therich world to help the poor world: skilled people are needed but so is capital; so is a stable raw materials market; so are fair prices and fair trade and tariff policies. ’ The volunteer, however sincere he or she is, can be unconsciously duped into furthering imperialist interests. Consider the following mythical volunteer situation and note how his presence effects some of the nationals-of the country where he is based. Paul is a 24-year-old history teacher, just recently receiving his B.A. from the University of Waterloo and is currently working as a CUSO volunteer in the copperbelt province of Zambia teaching in a boy’s secondary school. For Paul the volunteer posting offers a chance to teach in an “underdeveloped” part of the world where the-need for a man of his knowledge is strong; so too, Paul is interested in experiencing other cultures, in travelling and in gaining some good teaching experience and references which will be valuable to him when he settles down to a permanent teaching post in Canada. Paul found that Canadian policies toward the Third World were well-regarded by the Zambians he met and he enthusiastically affirmed their opinion that Canadian foreign policies were quite humanitarian. The facts however, show that Canadian development policies are increasingly being determined by trade and commercial considerations at the expense of principles of justice for developing countries. Canadian development assistance, at present, stands at $500 million and represents .47% of our gross national product, But aid to developing countries is more often than not just a humanitarian cover for aid to Canadian business. 80 to 90 percent of the $370 million budget to CIDA’s (Canadian International Development Agency) bilateral program is currently spent in Canada on Canadian goods,

commodities and services. This is called “tied” aid because it is only given if the recipient nation agrees to purchase goods from the donor countries. The tying of aid makes less developed countries dependent on Canadian goods and services and also determines the kind of development they can have. In the Zambian and Southern Africa context specifically, Canada shows itself to have that doublestandard “modus operandi”, particular to Western liberal democracies. In the later part of the sixties, both Canada, and Britain were approached by the Zambian government to help with aid and,technical assistance in building a railway from the Tanzanian port of Dar-Es-Salaam on the India Ocean to the Zambian copperbelt, thus ending Zambia’s dependence on the fascist regimes to the South for the vital outlets for her copper. Both Canada and Britain did a study as to the feasibility of such a project and they concluded that it would not be possible. With massive assistance from China, Zambia and Tanzania went ahead with the project and the railroad is progressing months ahead of schedule. Is it coincidental that Canada declined assistance for a project which \ will greatly reduce Zambia’s dependence on the West? Canada’s relationship with South Africa reiterates in more obvious terms the primacy of economic interest in her foreign policies. Canada has repeatedly condemned South Africa’s apartheid policies in United Nation resolutions. Yet Canada continues to extend the British preferential tariff to South Africa under the Canada-South Africa trade agreement of 1932. Canadian sugar companies prefer to deal with South Africa because they are “efficient and reliable” but what they fail to acknowledge is that the black cane cutters are poorly paid and repressed. Other Canadian companies, including Alcan and Massey-Ferguson make handsome profits off the super-exploitation of the black workers there. Clearly then Canada is a vital force in the maintenance of the present global disparity and our mythical CUSO volunteer, Paul, effectively serves to hinder, however unknowingly, the growth of the political awareness and revolutionary zeal needed if Zambia and other developing countries are to experience the widespread human development that is possible. Paul, in his contact with young Zambians, tends also to be a medium of sorts for the North American way of life with its achievers and consumers, with its two-party system, its universal schooling, and its family-car affluence. Overseas volunteers, as one Latin American writer has put it, “by definition.. .can’t help being ultimately vacationing salesmen for the middle class American way of life, since that is really the only life he knows. Paul, in his role, is an integral part of the powerful western influ; ence which helps establish native bourgeois elites in most Third World countries who worship the “God of individualism” and exist solely to serve themselves and their benefactorsin Paris, London or New York. Paul is innocently puzzled by the desire of his students to grab administrative posts in the capital city rather than working in the impoverished rural areas where they are most needed. Paul, unaware himself of the political reality of the world fails to recognize his part in its maintenance and its concomitant bourgeois value system-a value system which simply is not alive enough to be shared. Volunteerism, then, to a large extent, is an erroneous idea of aid and it is often harmful to the host countries primarily because it tends to work against necessary changes. For a volunteer service like CUSO or Crossroads to become meaningful it must be based on a more critical moral and -political philosophy. A recent newsletter put out by one of these organizations reeked of naive idealism as it applauded the volunteer’s “cross-cultural” experience as a contribution to future world peace; without coming to grips with the fact that peace does not grow out of friendship or technical aid; peace grows out of social justice. A true volunteer organization demonstrates, it works for and it demands social justice. Volunteer service as an effective movement cannot play “neutral” in view of the real root causes for this situation of privilege and poverty. It is useless to throw one’s energies into curing the sick, feeding the hungry, and teaching the unlettered, if one is not inspired at the same time to counteract the spirit and practice of neo-colonialists.

Shallow minds at Uj/V irks student I suppose that the name C.P. Snow would result only in the reply ’ “Who?” from most students on campus but that many of these same students epitomize the narrow-mindedness discussed in The Two Cultures would not be denied by those who have heard of Snow. I am particularly distressed by the “fringe mentality” (the kind of mind that can grasp only- the edges of an idea, never its core) prevalent in science that sneers at anything outside of the pure and applied sciences as “artsy”. The possessor of that mentality has borrowed an adage from the teacherbaiters and modified it for his own use:“those who can, take science; those who cannot, arts.” His prejudice is a simple one, as suits a simple mind. Science is hard, arts easy; science requires brains, arts does not; there is more work involved in science, much less in-the arts; in short, science is superior in every way. It is past the time that the fringe mentality began thinking and I offer this brief article as a primer. To ignore whole areas of knowledge and of beauty because they are outside the rather arbitrary bounds of science imposed by a science student-usually he makes an idiosyncratic decision-is stupid. This is similar to the approach of the Vienna Circle who ruled metaphysics out of existence because it did not meet their criterion of meaning. But at least Camap and company had thought very deeply before legislating. Even to think, let alone deeply seems beyond the possible for the fringe mentality. The arts, the sciences, the humanities, and the social sciences are not intrinsically disparate areas of study. They are united as ways in which humanity constructs its world. Each area of study selects a part of the real world and constructs theories that best correspond to what is out there and which best cohere as’ entities in themselves. Biology works on the natural world; astronomy, the stelJar; psychology, the mental (some say the behavioui-al); literature, the world of man interpreting his world. Each subject deals with a legitimate and important concern, each has its intrinsic difficulties and problems, but each has no obligation to answer to the others, to justify itself to other disciplines. To require ajustificatibn for the closed mind of a science student is ridiculous for any area, science included. Science answers to scientists not to fringe mentalities. I am not saying that the uses to which the fruits of science or arts or humanities or social sciences are put do not need justification. They do but the justification is to the non-scientist or

Very important! I chevron staff meeting Tues. Nov.* 19, 8 pm
Wilson growls May I be allowed to correct the most serious error in your report in last Friday’s ihevron concerning the resolution of the recent difficulties in the gradtiate programme in political science? / I did not, as your reporter states, blame the difficulties on our graduate officer. I did say, as your reporter also states, that there was probably fault on both sides -faculty members and graduate students. When the graduate students asserted to me that they regarded Professor Fraser (our graduate officer) as being at fault I simply said that whenever any student thought there was a difficulty with one of the officers of the department they ought to come and see me, and I specifically told them that tirofessor Fraser could in no way be blamed.

As a student who is interested in “learning- the facts” about recent events at Renison College, I havebeen extremely frustrated by’ the sensationalism and obvious bias that has pervaded the chevron’s coverage of this “affair”. -In particular, the publishing of numerous unsigned articles written in-the first person has completely destroyed any confidence in the credibility of this paper. Much has been said and written about the need for democracy on this campus, but let us not forget that the idea of a responsible democracy can never be anything but a farce unless the pgople have access to accurate information about all’ sides of the issues. Dean E. Peachey
Rowat’ explains Hoo-boy, what a mess, about Renison and thigh-high, I mean. I’ll have to admit, the Chevron account of the Federation meeting was completely objesztive, but they
’
missed something which I think was pei-fectly obvious to the people in attendance. When I asked why we should be involved with Renison, I specified that it was a planted question to generate some discussion about the subject since the fed council seemed to be rather complacent about such a serious matter. This it did. At no time in my mind did I doubt the legitimacy of the Renison students to approach us. However, I still maintain that demanding resignations is an illconsidered move. It’s far better to attack the action rather ‘than the person, and a lot safer. In addition, the chevron should be criticised for its handling of the back page of the :pecial Renison issue. A student powerfist is an emotional and rather immature approach to a problem which needs level heads and serious discussion to solve. Those of you who were at the thi-hi pub (I only saw a part of it) will probably agree that it was a light-hearted, fun event wellattended by both males and females. There were more women at that pub than any other engineering pub I’ve seen. The point is, that it’s better to leave the problem of sexual discrimination to more important things like job and career prejudice, than to attack a little frivolous fun. Further, I’m disappointed that the Chevron chopped the advertisement of the thi-hi from the special issue without telling Eng Sot. Perhaps they should have bought an ad instead.

“The Circle” is an English comedy of the drawing-room variety written by William Somerset Maugham in 1921 at the height of his popularity as a playwright. Last week, at the Theatre of the Arts, it came to life in a convincing and spirited production with a genuinely talented cast which included Dr. William Chadwick, Chairman of the Drama Group, and, from the Stratford Festival Company, Dawn Greenhalgh. The director was Maurice Evans. Although at one time “The Circle” was a controversial play (it drew hisses and catcalls in London on its opening night and was banned from the U.S.S.R. because of its “deleterious effect on home life”), the modern audience is unlikely to be offended by much of its humour or philosophv. Maugham is concerned here with the self-determination and the phenomenon of people doing things they don’t want to because of what others exoect of them. This preoccupation with convention is what informs the familiar theme of marriage and love in an English aristocratic drawing-room setting. “The Circle” also serves. as a vehicle for many witty and irreverent observations ranging from politics, the Church, human nature and, inevitably (considering Maugham’s famous misogyny), the subject of women. His most frequent spokesman on these occasions is the character of Clive Champ-ion-Cheney (William Chadwick)-a cheery and astute old gentleman who provides most of the sophisticated humour. Events are precipitated by a visit by Lady Catherine ChampionChaney to her son, Arnold, whom she abandoned thirty years ago for love, and the coincidental arrival of her ex-husband Clive at what-was once their home. To complicate matte,rs, Lady Kitty (as she is called) has brought with her Lord Hughie Porteous, an aspiring Prime Minister at the time that she gave up her reputation to, run away with him. They no longer love each other and have both suffered devastating , personal transformations. Formerly a gay and stunning Young woman, Lady Kitty is now a “caricature of a pretty woman grown old”. Her neurotic dependence on cosmetics and an affected air of forced youth and gajety have turned her into a silly and pathetic spectacte. At one point,Clive interprets her dilemma in this way: “There are very few of. US who are strong enough to make circumstances serve us. We are the creatures Of Our environment. She’s a silly worthless woman because she’s led a silly worthless life”. Dawn Greenhalgh’s performance was nothing short of gifted as she conveyed the desperation of this character ‘and yet managed to be outrageously funny at the same time. As for Lord Porteous, he is summed up quite well by Clive’s contemptuous “a grumpy, sodden old fellow with false teeth”. His ill-temper and pettiness are exploited for humorous effect in his grim-faced participation in a friendly game of bridge. Dennis Johnson belied his youth in skillfully portraying Porteous as a crabby old man. .His characterization was somewhat unsubtle, perhaps, but then, it was not in Lord Porteous’ nature to be subtle. I
a
Another triangular drama is enacted by a younger generation of characters who are Lady Kitty’s son Arnold, his beautiful wife Elizabeth and Teddie Luton, the visiting young manager of a rubber estate in the Federated Malay States. Arnold (Michael Hilborn) is a fastidious and authoritarian man of 35, an MP whose chief passions are politics and interior decorating. Although he has lost all sexual interest in his wife of three years, he is extremely possessive and becomes furious when Elizabeth announces that he has succumbed to the charms of Teddie Luton and wishes to leave him. When Arnold rejects out of hand the very notion of <divorce, it is plain that he has than anything else his career at heart. One of the outrageously funny scenes in this play is Teddie’s. emotion-charged courtship of Elizabeth to whom he tries to’communicate his love in a cool, business-like way but ends by feverishly declaring, “I think you’re such a ripping good sort!” He was played by Paul Dean W.rightman who had a wonderfully relaxed and natural presence while his delivery sometimes lacked conviction or spontaneity. Elizabeth is meant to be the antithesis of the severe and cerebral Arnold-to the extent, at times, of exhibiting very little brain at all. Her , romantic imagination coupled with shallowness of character seem to ensure that she will follow in the unhappy footsteps of Lady Kitty. In fact, Lady Kitty does take her into confidence, reminding her of what a blessed institution marriage is-for women-and what harrowing

Once the cast and technical people are chosen the real work begins. Lines and blocking must be learned, costumes, a set and lighting plans designed, prop lists made, rehearsal space found, sound plots decided’upon, a publicity campaign outlined and this is only the first step. The actors must find their characters and decide how they can plausibly present them to the audience, which isn’t always easy. Think how difficult it must be for a student of 18 to move, talk, eat, think and, in short, become a grandmother of 80? At this point one must also draw attention to the genius of the makeup people ple who know which colours to combine to give the right tallow colouring. Costumes must be sewn, correct shoe sizes found, hems altered and matching accessories (in period) kept track of. The costume peoples’ job does not end with performance. It is they who keep’the cpstumes clean, stand in the wings as dressers for quick costume changes and are armed with needle and thread in the case of emergency alterations. Once designed, a set must be built. It is at this point that many of persons for the first time in their lives pick. up a hammer. Many people are needed in the execution of lights, which are not just coincidentally hanging in a position to shine where they are needed on stage. They must be hung and focused, which is a long and involved .pro’cess which takes many hours. Sound effects must also be made, music recorded and in some cases speech reinforced. This is the job of the sound person. Perhaps the most thankless job of all is that of the Stage Manager, who is responsible for the running , of the play. The stage manager. must attend every rehearsal- making lists of things needed and noting the blocking. If actorsareconstantly late for rehearsals,, the stage manager must deal with them. It is also the stage manager who sits backstage throughout the production cuing lights, sound and audiovisual people. The Beggar’s Opera has been in rehearsal since the middle of Sep-
tember. As mentioned before, it opens November 19th and runs to the 23rd. Tickets may be obtained at the Central Box Office prior to performance or at the Humanities Theatre Box Office on evenings of performance. Curtain time is 8:00 pm and admission prices are $1.50 for adults and $1 .OO for students.

CBC scores success
In a rare burst of radical insight, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation is out to prove that they are worthy of our hard earned tax dollars, by providing us with some cerebral stimulus. ‘In addition to their marvelously moronic boob tube fare, they are finally attempting to include some intellectual program content. LastWednesday the first part of a six part series made its debut during prime time. The series features the well-known British journalist, writer and TV personality Malcolm Muggeridge on his favorite topic, God. Entitled “The Third Testament: Six Characters in Search of God”, the programs investigate how some of the greatest thinkers of all time have found their God.
Like to rap? Unitarian fellowships offer an opportunity for people to get together and talk freely about the human condition and the meaning of ethics.

Muggeridge though doesn’t let this stop him from inserting his own thoughts and opinions amidst the factual material. If you’re looking for an entertaining show that you can sit down to and leave the same way you came, this series is not for you. Muggeridge is presenting some very detailed arguments and if you are unwilling to think and be challenged you won’t get anything out of them except maybe some pretty scenery. The shows are shown on the CBC television network every Wednesday at 9:30 and you may want to take in one of the following programs: Nov. 20, Blaise Pascal (mathematician); Nov. 27, William Blake (poet, artist); Dec. 4, Soren Kierkegaard (philosopher); Dec. 11, Leo Tolstoy (writer); Dec. 18, Dietrich Bonhoeffer ( a German cleric executed because of his anti-nazi stand.). It’s reassuring to see that the CBC is finally enriching its program content and including programs that those above the level of moron can appreciate. Maybe, just maybe, if they get enough audience response (The CBC, Box 500, Postal Station ‘A’, Toronto) they will continue to carry the odd good program from time to time. -phi1

Championships
V2 North stole victory away from last years championship coach Mark Vincer by defeating his Vl South Squad 8-0, however, it took them two games to do it. The championship game had to be replayed on Monday as the result of the first encounter was a 6-6 tie at the end of 3 overtime periods. Mondays game was played in mild but wet weather which seemed to hinder the South attack. V2 North got on the scoreboard in the first half when quarterback Janet Lint kicked a single. The only main scoring play of the game came in the second,half when Diane Posthumus caught a Janet Lint Pass in the end zone. The same two combined for the conversion point. Coach Greg Bewsh said after the game- “our team was really up for this-they are a close group and they really wanted to win”. That ends another football season for the powderpuffs. Hopefully, next season will see as many girls out enjoying this activity. Badminton Tournament For the first time in Intramural Badminton, both A and B flights were utilized to provide equalized competition. Ten “A” competitors and 26 “B” competitors entered the tournament with the majority of competitors being from St. Jeromes (once again).

The Warriors rounded out their pre-season exhibition games this past week with a win over Sheridan College of Oakville and a loss to the always tough Guelph Gryphons. In the first encounter played in Waterloo last Friday night the Warriors throunced the Oakville team 9-4, collecting four of their markers in the last period. Ron Hawkshaw opened the scoring at the 1.11 mark of the first period followed five minutes later by a goal from Randy Stubel. Sheridan College responded with one, to end the period 2-l in favour of the Warriors. Waterloo collected an additional three goals in the second period allowing only one to their opponents. Warrior marksmen in this period were Dave McCosh, Hawkshaw

with his second of the evening and Mike ,Guimond. Sheridan College opened the scoring in the third frame but were unsuccessful in stopping the Waterloo team from widening their lead. Guimond collected two goals to complete his hat trick followed by an unassisted marker by Lee Barnes while the Warriors were short handed, and a goal by Ralph Biamonte. Sheridan managed to slip one more in between Guimond’s two goals. Jake Dupuis played a good game for the Warriors as did Peter Asheral who collected three assists. On Tuesday night the Warriors travelled to Guelph to meet the Gryphons. In this game coa& Bob McKillop went with four lines and three goaltenders. Bob Hnatyk was in the cage for the first period stopping fifteen Guelph attempts. The Warriors were hampered by penalties in this period and had difficulty getting organized. They received their first penalty at the .06 mark, a bench minor for starting the incorrect line-up. They also played most of the period without the services of defenceman Frank Staubitz who was assigned a ten minute misconduct along with a minor early in the period.. Waterloo scored the only marker of the period at the three quarter mark on a picture pass from Bill Daub to Ralph Biamonte. Randy Kubick replaced Hnatyk in the second period allowing only one Guelph goal to pass him. The Warriors remained scoreless in this frame’and the period ended in a tie. Jake Dupuis played in net@ for part of the third period but was replaced by Kubick after sustaining a cut below his right eye. Guelph succeded in getting the go-ahead goal on the same play that saw Dupuis leave the game. The Warriors were further hampered b.y an injury to Lee Barnes and a misconduct to Bill Daub and were unsuc-

Naismith tourney coming , The hometown Waterloo Warriors faced the Toronto Estonia basketball team in their first exhibition contest last Friday night. The visitors provided good competition but they found themselves on the short end of the score 99-81. The Toronto club included 6’ 10” centre Bob Croft, a former Dallas Chapparals player from the A.B.A. (American Basketball Association), as well as such former stars from the University of Waterloo as Jan Lanniste, Bruce Dempster and Paul Skowron. The individual confrontation, between the two talented centres, Mike Moser and Bob Croft was a game ~in itself. There was tough battling for rebounds under the boards between the two players as they contributed immensely to their respective teams. Moser fired a game high of 32 points while Coft responded with 25 points, highest on the Toronto team.
Three players were performing in a Waterloo uniform for the first time, and their acquisition proved instrumental in the triumph. 5’ 10” Bill Robinson in an impressive debut proved that there is a spot for the “little’ man in this game among giants. He hit for 15 points, including seven field goals, but it was Robinson’s expert passing and dribbling that delighted the partisan crowd throughout the game. His backcourt mate, Charlie Chambers, also a newcomer, played an inspiring aggressive game while contributing nine points. The only freshman of the squad, Ted Darcie, notched eight points. The team’s overall foul shooting was quite inconsistent but Darcie sank 4 out of 5 from the charity line. Toronto’s second highest scorer was Jan Lanniste a former O.U.A.A. all star with 12 points. Coach Don McCrae was quite satisfied with his team’s performance against their first competition of the season The team shot well, and showed good hustle throughout the game as substitution was made frequently. The defense had its flaws in the first half but the team sharpened up in the second half. If the first game can be any indication of the upcoming season it appears as if the Warrior fans can look forward to supporting another exciting winning team. On November 22 and 23 the Warrior basketball team will be participating in the first annual WLU Invitational Basketball Tournament. This will be the Warriors first game of the new season before local fans. The Warriors first encounter will be Loyola University and that match goes at 9:00 pm Friday evening. The next weekend the Warriors will be hosting the annual Naismith Classic. -ken

Athena b-ball
Last Friday, November the 8th, the Athena basketball team travelled to Guelph for an invitational tournament. The opportunity was taken.to experiment with the FIBA or international rules which may be put into effect next year. Some of the major differences in the FIBA rules from the rules now used by the OWIAA are the 30-second shooting requirement (all teams must try for a basket within 30 seconds of gaining possession of the : ball), the wider key, the referee not . having to handle the ball after every stoppage of play and the fewer foul shots that are taken. Spectators naturally benefit from this faster-paced game, and a quick team can use it to its advantage also, as the defending OWIAA team demonstrated to Waterloo in their first game at 1:OO PM. With allround good dribbling, rebounding, shots that rarely semed to miss, (even those classy hook shots) the strong Western team unmercifully inexperienced attacked the Athenas . Inexperienced referring to the fact that only three experienced players out of a possible nine returnees chose to play basketball for uniwat this year. Spirits unbroken by their earlier humiliating defeat, the Athenas were even more determined to win in their 7:30 match with an equally determined Carleton team. Cocaptain Vicki Szoke (40) displayed good leadership while on the floor in organizing the offense. Every player managed to get on the score with Szoke, Marion sheet Bebee(42), Carla Organ (43), Lorraine Luypaert (30), and centre Barb Benson each contributing 8 - points. Barb Benson (51), a first year student in Kinesiology, also proved herself valuable on rebounds, especially offensive, and her tenacity in tying balls is a plus factor as with her height she usually gets the jump. Others strong on defensive were Barb Finalay and Jan Degalman. The final score to an exciting game: 49 to 3 1 for the Athenas. It was interesting to note the number of males coaching the women’s team. ’ The next day the women’s B-Ball team suffered a narrow defeat, 57 to 54, in a very fast back and forth game against McMaster University. Rookie forward Lorraine Luypaert (30), played a very strong all-round game as did centre Barb Benson. All Athenas deserve congratula- tions for a long tiring weekend. -Shirley

both teams often losing control of the ball. Apparently the refereeing wasn’t up to par either, prompting several jeers from the spectators and a rather loud “what about the fucking holding” cry from a frustrated WLU coach Warren Sutton. The refs didn’t catch that either. The only player to be fouled out of the game early in the second half was Lorraine Luypaert (30) who is Sutton’s sister-in-law. This was unfortunate for the Athenas as Luypaert plays a strong game and scored several baskets before retiring. Vicki Szoke (40) was also out after the first half with an eye swollen shut, so the Athenas were short for the duration of two key players. The arrival of a noisy crew from WLU added some excitement to the second half, but it was the Athenas who settled down more, attempting to coordinate their offensive plays more effectively. The obvious standout was the center for uniwat, who rarely seemed to be on the bench. Usually in centre position, at one point, whether a faulty substitution or not, she played a shift as guard Here, she led many rushes with fast dribbling, snappy passes, and one completely unassisted play where after rebounding an attempted WLU shot, she hustled to the other end of the court for a successful layup shot. Unofficial statistics show a domination of rebounds; 19, of which 11 were defensive. Benson led the scoring with an unofficial 15 points. Benson certainly didn’,t win alone though as most Athenas managed to get on the scoresheet. Those not previously mentioned are Kris Ashbury (52), Jan Brooks (34), Nancy Speer (45), Merry Morris (32), and Barb Findlay (33). Marian Bebee unofficially tallied for nine points keeping her cool on several breakaways; also guarding tenaciously, stealing the ball, and having a good eye for long accurate passes which directly resulted in hiking the Athena score. Carla Organ (43) and Jan Degalman (50) were effective on defense, with the latter being the only o$e to come close to matching the rebounding of the Athena’s center. The most threatening WLU players were S. Bethune (24) for her offensive plays (and temper), and E. Esau (14), the strongest on her team for rebounds, but her percentage of shots successful was very low. Wilson (5) came on defensively in the 2nd half. As if the referees weren’t annoying WLU’s Sutton enough, the B-ball timers were malfunctioning~ At approximately 2:28, a crucial time for WLU, two minutes simply disappeared from the clock. Coach Kemp was overheard to reply to a compliment “but they were so sloppy!” But she was grinning . . . -Shirley

In an attempt to provide a more varied form of entertainment for the students of this campus, the Federation of Students staged a very successful evening of the Harlem Globetrotters last Wednesday. The show was sold out and as a result of the gate sharing scheme worked out with the Globetrotters, the feds managed to cope upwards of four thousand dollars from the event. The Globetrotters brought a complete show to the physical activities building including their own opposition. The show started with an above average but not spectacular demonstration of the art of frisbee throwing. Then came the Globetrotters along with their opposition to play a first half show. Much of the impact of the trotters depended on the expectations that one placed on them. They have become much of an institution since their formation in -1929, and it was hard to tell at times whether or not this was just another show to them, a show that numbers in the eleven thousands since they began touring. However, when one watches their interaction among the many younger kids in attendance, it

became fairly clear that they were here to entertain. The younger kids were thrilled with the Globetrotters but at times the predictability of the events and the lines that were cued exactly seemed to stain the credibility of the act and also at times tended to make- the act drag.Despite the rapidity of the routines, the Globetrotters are good, both technically and judging from the crowd reaction at entertaining. The half time show brought a fair juggling act, in which the highlight was the juggler juggling not four, not five, not six, but seven rings at once. What a show stopper. As if the juggling was enough the second act was a ping pong match which featured again some above average but not spectacular pinging and ponging. The second half of the Glob&rotters show saw more clowning around, as the trick balls came out, the football game started as well as a baseball game. The globetrotters put on their entre routine, all that they are famous for and managed to pick up over ten thousand dollars for the effort.

by-the RAA , ’ In the summer of 1973 three new faculty people (Jeffrey Forest, Marlene Webber and Darrol Bryant) were hired at Renison College and a fourth (Marsha Forest) was cross appointed. Marsha and Jeffrey had applied and were accepted as an educational team and Marsha was officially appointed to. the faculty of Human Relations at the University of Waterloo. It was understood by both departments that they would teach their courses together and share their offices. Together with the already existing faculty at Renison these new people began to build and expand Renison’s programs. New and exciting approaches to looking at traditional concerns began to evolve. There was a fresh breath of air blowing through Renison College as new curricular structures and content emerged. A diversity of opinion was flowering and certainly causing some problems. Intense debate, heated discussions, criticism and counter criticism took a sharper turn within Renison. Students and faculty were critically debating the directions in which the’ College should move. For an institution to begin to question itself and move in new directions is a difficult process and often results in some hard times. Some tentative beginnings of these directions were the development of an integrated approach to the introductory courses team taught by three faculty members Days in Sepand the “Three tember” orientation program which exposed students to a critical view of the Kitchener-Waterloo Community w.ith panels on such topics as education, labor and management, women and housing. As well, on the day that the Allende government in Chile was overthrown some faculty and students cancelled their classes and participated in a silent march originating at Renison and a memorial service to mourn the passing of Allende and of democracy in Chile. This created much debate at the College ._ Further, because of the efforts of Marlene Webber and Marsha Forest a strong women’s movement began to develop which resulted in the conference “February is About Women.” This monthlong conference held at Trinity United Church in Kitchener exposed participants to such issues as women in the labor force, women and health, women and liberation. Many Renison students were involved in making this conference 8 the huge success that it was. This emerging women’s movement caused/much unrest at Renison as the old traditional malesupremacist attitudes were being challenged by a growing group of both women and men who believed in and argued for equality of women and an end to sexism both in the college and in the wider community. New and exciting speakers were brought into talk to the students by the new and progressive faculty members. Student interest grew upon hearing such speakers as a labor union organizer, a black militant, and a long time supporter of the People’s Republic of China who was also a minister. Some of the new faculty members (Jeff, Marlene and Marsha) began to expose the students to critical and/or radical ways of looking at our society. New and differ- \ ent concepts of social work, social intervention and social change were introduced. No longer were. the alternatives bound to the nar-
row views ofathe conservative traditionalists; rather an explosion of new possiblilities and new ideas challenged the hegemony of the old ways. Certain topics, not usually dealt with, began to be openly and freely discussed-Marxism, feminism, ’ socialism, capitalism, imperialism, racism, sexism, and sexuality. . - As can be expected some people were taken aback by this. The diversity and conflict, the debate and argument seemed inappropriate or unacademic to some. For others it was all very exciting and represented what they came to college for. The academic year ended and most felt Renison was making progress. Enrollment was up and a high percentage of students were accepted into graduate school. Everyone was looking forward to another exciting year at the College. However a critical new factor‘ was entering the situation. The Board of Governors had chosen ’ John Towler to be the new principal of the College. Although the faculty has passed a vote of confi-’ dence in the acting principal Dr. Donald M’Timkulu this was not accepted by the board. The board of governors had seen its college moving into new and troubled waters and decided that a new captain was needed to chart the college back into the old and familiar ways. John Towler clearly had his job cut out for him. The 1974-75 academic year started out well. The honours program had been tentatively accepted, enrollment figures were up and new and interesting students were attracted to the college. New courses dealing explicitely with women and others with a Marxist analysis of society were available to students. Enrollment was surprisingly high in these courses. New student leadership had been elected to the faculty-student council and there were pressing demands for increased student representation. (In the previous years the student leadership had been predominantly male but this year the leaders were clearly women). The storm erupted over who would control the discretionary funds of the College-the Principal or the democratically elected Faculty-Student Council. The Principal acting in collusion with the Executive Committee of the Board of Governors seized control of these funds and announced that he would be the sole person to decide how these funds would be spent. This was in direct violation of the budget guidelines passed by the Faculty-Student Council,. Further, when a $100 donation to the Ojibway Warrior Society to support the Native People’s Caravan was overwhelmingly passed by the Faculty-Student Council, the Principal refused to make available the discretionary funds and instead took the money from each faculty members academiclsupport funds without getting the permission of faculty members which he was obliged to do by a resolution passed by the Faculty-Student Council. While he was stating that his opposition to the $100 donation wasbased upon the fact that the College was somewhat short of funds it was discovered that he had requested and received in excess of $3000 from the College to redecorate (carpets, wood panelling, etc.) his already comfortable office. Meanwhile the students had no office space and the part-time faculty-(all women) shared a converted cloak
room and there’s no space for any additional faculty. Another issue was coming to the fore-a constitution was being drafted for the College. A preliminary draft had been produced and was being circulated. This constitution would have curtailed the power .of the Principal and given some of his power to the academic dean and to the Faculty-Student Council. These proposals seemed to be unacceptable to the Principal. Meanwhile many Renison students became involved in helping to organize a forum for Louis Cameron, Chairman of the Ojibway Warrior Society to speak on the campus. This event was an enormous success drawing an audience of over 500 people. Out of this experience many students wanted to form an organization which. would contribute to the rais: ing of political consciousness on the campus. Out of this the AntiCaptialist Alliance was born. This. organization (the A.C.A.) has a high proportion of Renison students as active members. It is currently involved in sponsoring a series of forums ‘and films to commemorate the 25th-Anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China, and a Cinema Solidarity film series which brings progressive films to the campus. The ACA also encourages its members to ally themselves with workers strikes all over Southern Ontario. In reaction to this progressive trend the Board of Governors and the Principal of Renison carried out a purge! The academic dean, Hugh Miller, (who strongly opposed the Principal’s moves to centralize power) and Jeffrey Forest (a leading member of the progressive trend) were fired and Marsha Forest (another leader of the progressive trend) was banned from the Renison campus. This was all done by the Principal acting in collusion with the Executive Committee of the Board of Governors without any consultation with the FacultyStudent Council or the Director of the Social Science Applied Program. Further they will not state any reasons for the actions taken against the -Forests and have not even supplied them privately with any reasons. However, from the above historical analysis, the reasons are crystal clear: 1) The desire to eliminate the progressive forces that were developing at the College and to restrict Academic Freedom ,“to teach, investigate, and speculate without deference to prescribed doctrine.” (CAUT Handbook, p. W 2) the desire of the Principal and the Board of Governors to establish an authoritarian, arbitrary, paternalistic and centralized form of decision-making at Renison as opposed to a decentralized democratic form being proposed in the draft copy of the constitution. The principal and the Board of Governors by their actions in this particular situation have shown that they care not a whit for the essential freedoms that we are supposed to have in this society and at this university. They-couch their reasons in narrow legalistic terms offering these as justification of what they have done. But we know better-all their statements and press releases are but a smokescreen to hide from us the essential truth-that at Renison College Academic Freedom and ,. democracy are DEAD ! Those who buy into the Board of Governors’ frame of reference will be allowed to stay and those who

Renison College’s board of governors, by ratifying Saturday the dismissal of applied social science professor Jeffrey Forest without due process, has made the college, in the eyes of many, a veritable groundswell of blimpist reaction. Forest was never given cause for his rather abrupt dismissal Oct. 3 1. All he received was a letter, from Renison princil pal John Towler, informing him that effective April 30, 1975, he’d better seek employment elsewhere. The letter went on to state that he couldn’t “sit on any committees of this college, nor take part in faculty-student council meetings, nor advise students on any college matters other than those directly concerned with the academic content of his courses.” If Forest violates any of the above, between now and the end of April,, he’ll be dismissed immediately. In a word, censorship. Censorship because Renison College denies Forest his just right to know the reasons for dismissal; censorship because Renison College attempts to curb Forest’s democratic right to talk openly with students about his predicament; and censorship because, pace Towler’s protestations to the contrary, Forest was, fired due to political beliefs rather than academic shortcomings. Forest has never been discreet about venting his socialistic beliefs, both in and&outside of the classroom. For he believes, as do many more in Canada, that one can be open about one’s politics. Especially in universities, as there is an oftexpressed value called academic freedom that allows a professor whether he’s a fascist or a communist to speak and defend his views. But Forest made the grave mistake- of believing that such value flourished at Renison. For, ever since Towler became principal this autumnthe worthy value has received a little less thanunadulterated veneration. In fact, it has been trampledupon in the most cavalier fashion. Towler, according to faculty sources, said at an in-camera meeting with all Renison professors, four days after Forest’s dismissal, that he never uses the classroom as a forum for political beliefs. He was alluding to Forest’s teaching methods which criticize contemporary society. Towler’s message is quite clear: one can’t criticize society and expect to get away with it. Such a view is clearly reactionary for besides stifling intellectual thought, it undermines the very essence of a democratic society. I Towler should be restrained before his rather dubious views spread to other parts of the UW community, and now is the time to do something. Renison students should refuse to register in the winter term until there’s a clarification oft the state of academic freedom at the college. Meanwhile UW students should show their support for academic freedom by joining a march, next Thursday, calling for the reinstatement of such a value at Renison. \ dare to criticize and to openly speculate and discuss alternate forms of social analysis and organization are to be purged. Their recent actions bear out the accuracy of this statement. *A small group of wealthy males (one woman) had imposed its will upon the Renison academic community. The majority (students and faculty) have never been consulted and no form of due process has ever been carried out. In fact the BOG
has refused-to enter into any kind of impartial hearing and/or arbitration procedure which has been proposed by the local Faculty Association. We must oppose this move, to turn Renison College into an indoctrination centre for the viewpoints held by the BOG. All people who care about liberty and justice must oppose this blatant move to uproot academic freedom and democracv and replace it with indoctrination and authoritarianism. ,
