on the Waterloo city council Thursday afternoon. judging

appeared for an all from the student re-

sponse, the municipal elections are not the hottest item on campus. However, the students have been given one concession in that polling booths will now be set up in the campus center i’7T+ead of off campus.

-opening --

With negotiations still going on between the University of Waterloo and the Liquor Licencing Board of Ohtario, Bill Deeks of administrative services, says that the December 3 1st goal ‘for a permanent licence for this university will be met. However, not all outlets designated on the application will be opening at that time. The campus centre pub is the number one priority and it will be open for business when the students return for the winter term. The next permanent bar area to be finished will be the south campus hall area and Deeks expects that the outlet will be opening in the latter part of January. The three areas to be licenced in the villages, the great hall of village one and one of the dining-halls of each of village one and two will be completed after that. The pub in the campus centre i-s the receiving most of administration’s attention; since it is the only pub which will be running on a full time basis. Proposed hours of operations are from twelve noon until one in the morning, essentially the same hours as when the pub was run by the Federation of Students on-special permits. In fact, according to Deeks, who will be named the administrator of the licence, the pub will be running as close as possible along the lines that, the federation ran the pub. Deeks feels that this is important since the pub will essentially still be a student pub, and to this end he -- hopes that students can be hired to fill some of the jobs that will be

created. _ Where the pub will vary in structure will be in the areasthat are dictated to the university by the policies set out within the terms of the licence, for instance, the licence requires that drinks be .served by a waitress, and that shots -be poured in one glass and mix in a separate glass. However, in order to save some time and labour, bar services will be offering what is referred to as splits, these are eight ’ ounce bottles of mix that will be given as the mix instead of having the mix poured into a separate ,glass.

’

Another change will be the pricing system, which will be somewhat higher than the usual federation prices. Deeks states that this is necessary since the pubs must be run on a break-even basis, and also because of the high initial capital investment that is being put into the operation of the pubs. Approximately $50,000 is being spent on installing permanent bar facilities and making necessary physical changes for the village pubs, and ‘the cost for the other two bar areas is approximately $13,000. Therefore initially the pricing structure will be 50 cents for a bot-tle of beer, (no change from the present), 85 cents for one and a quarter ounce shot of bar liquor including a split, and 70 cents for a shot without the split. A split can usually suffice for two shots. In the draft beer department, a twelve ounce mug of draft will cost 45 cents and a sixty ounce pitcher will

run $2.10. It is hoped that these prices will subsidize the cost of the entertainment, along with the door charge, which the pub will be providing every evening. The cover charge will only be in effect during the evenings when there is entertainment. During the afternoons the pub will be free. This .pricing structure will be uniform throughout the outlets on campus although the village pubs will not be serving bottled beer.

Renison

Decks is quick to point out that these prices are consistent and in some place better than those of-, fered at other campuses, and of course the prices are substantiallylower than any downtown pub offering entertainment. With the advent of the permanent licence, special occasion permits will not be issued to any student, faculty or staff group on campus. Instead there will be some structure for holding special events in the south campus hall, such as society Ijubs, dances etc. that will be worked out in conjunction with the university. Although the specifics are not yet worked out, Deeks feels that the sponsoring group would pay for the entertainment arid, any other cost, other than the bar services, and that the uni-

versity- would simply provide the bar services for the event. It remains to be seen exactly how hassle free this system will work, but _ there will be a system for bookmg special events into the hall. One other point that the administration is stressing is the fact that now it is responsible for the operation of the pubs and for the holding of the licence and that the pubs represent a significant investment for the university and that there are serious consequences if the university were to have. licences revoked due to infractions of the rules. Students, staff and faculty and their invited guests only will be allowed to enter and-this will no doubt be strictly enforced as will the “no dope” rule. -randy

dispute

Faculty assoc. _inquires . Faculty Association president Mike McDonald said Wednesday that “all interested parties” in the Renison College dispute have peen invited “to make written or oral submissions” on the matter to the association’s tenure committee. The deadline for written submissions will be next Thursday while oral presentations can be delivered by . 5 p.m. the- next day. “Four people asked the associa-tion to look into the matter” and the committee will establish whether these people’s complaints are ‘ ‘jus tifiedr ’ McDonald said. If the complaints are justified, the association’s executive will invite the Canadian University Association of Teachers (CAUT) to conduct an investigation he said. The decision on whether to call

in CAUT will be made no later than Tuesday Dec. 10. If called in CAUT’s report on the dispute will determine whether there’s a need for an arbitration process which would be binding on the ‘involved parties. But CAUT has no legal power to enforce its rulings MeDonald said. McDonald said Renison principal John Towler prompted the Faculty Association to set-up its own investigation when he released Monday in an in-camera meeting with college students some of the causes for the dismissals. -. The four people who complained to the association are Renison academic dean Hugh Miller who w.as informed Oct. 3 1, that. he would be dismissed .at the’ end. of this year; social science Prof. Jeffery Forest who was told his prob-

ationary contract was not being renewed after next April: UW human relations Prof. Marsha Forest who had been teamteaching with her husband, was told she had no official approval to do so and was barred from taking part in any college activities after Dec. 20; and women’s studies Prof. Marlene Webber who was told by Towler to answer last Thursday about certain charges he made regarding her conduct in the dispute. Webber sent a reply to Towler say.ing she would respond to the charges if the request was made in a more appropriate form. McDonald said there’s “nothing we can do legally” to force the college to agree to arbitration. HOWever pressure could be applied by academiss across Canada, to “blacklist the college”.

No’jail - for pot smokers 1,. A bill was introduced in the federal Senate to end jail sentences for ’

persons charged with possession of hashish or marijuana. Instead people charged with possession of marijuana or hashish will be subject to fines for first convictions of up to $500. Those convicted if they fail to their fines can be liable for prison terms of up to three months. Penalties for trafficking canabis, the generic name for marijuana and .hashish will be reduced, but those charged willstill be subject to prison terms. A person found guilty of a subsequent offence for possession will be liable to a maximum fine of $1,000 or six months in jail if the f@e was not paid. Under existing laws, a person found guilty of simple possession of canabis on their first offence is liable to a fine of $1,000, six months in jail or both for a first offence. The maximum jail sentence for a person found guilty of cultivating canabis will be increased under the new bill to 10 years from seven I years. Conviction of a charge of importing or exporting canabis will still carry a mandatory prison term, but the minimum term for conviction on indictment would be reduced to three years and the maximum sentence would be reduced to 14 years from life imprisonment.

“It’s a Renison affair and if you stick your’nose in we’ll bounce you out” retorted Renison College principal John Towler when asked by Federation of Students president Andy Telegdi, in a telephona conver- \ sation Monday, as to whether a meeting for Renison students was open to the University of Waterloo (UW) community. The meeting called for Monday night by Towler the previous Friday permizted only resident and academic students taking two to three college courses to attend. Renison College is affiliated with UW and offers both an independent academic programme and a residence to UW students. Telegdi, in a press release of his conversation with Towler, said “John Towler is acting counter to the charter granted to theFederation of Students by the provincial government.” The charter, granted in 1967, states “the Federation of Students is to act as the representative of the students, both undergraduate and graduate, to theNUniversity of Waterloo, including those students of the various constituent coheges affiliated with the University of Waterloo.” 9 “The actions of John Towler in hanging up the phone is indicative of his actions since he has become principal at Renison College” said Telegdi. Also, “the type of arbitrary actions on the part of the administration at Renison College are actions that should not be tolerated at an university where academic freedom is a right. “If the Federation of Students failed to be present at this meeting - then the Federation of Students would be abrogating its responsibility.” Two federation student leaders, education chairman Shane Roberts and Telegdi, attended the meeting despite a heated argument at ‘the door with Renison sociology professor Mark Nagler.

Elora Gorge, festival At this point in the academic quarter many bleary-eyed coffee-filled students often feel that exams can’t be the best means of assessing their ability. One alternative is project work, and if a project why not one which will provide some fun. That is the way Phil Wong and Leslie Scrimshaw of third year man-environment studies see it, so they are organizing a winter festival in Elora for their 390 Workshopcourse. Associate Professor Anne O’Brien, who teaches the course, says the department stresses project learning. “By this method we hope students will learn a great deal about feelings in the community”. She also believes the students benefit from the organization required of projects, and the,y gain greater confidence about entering the world outside when they graduate. There are 65 students involved in 40 projects in the 390 course. As for the festival Professor O’Brien points out “the man-environment department is not preoccupied with pollution but is concerned about man and his total environment and the celebration of winter falls well within this field”. The Elora festival will be held on february 15 and the students would like to call it The Heritage Festival. They feel like this is an appropiate title because of Elora’s association with antiques and crafts. The snow-filled being organized will include a skating party and cross-country skiing as well as ice sculpture, hockey, curling, and broomball competitions. It will also be-possible to don a pair of snowshoes, provided by the Grand River Conservation Authority, for a tour of the East Gorge Park. All this outdoor activity will be combined with performance by the two Eloca theatre groups. Square dancing is being arranged and more formal foot manoeuvres will ‘be encouraged at the Legion Hall. Another attraction will be the horse-drawn cutters which Leslie and Phil hope will replace cars for the day. The students have received an enthusiastic reception for their idea from groups in the town. The town council has pledged its support. “It’s good that students are involved in these things,” says Art Hoffer, the town Reeve, “and if it’s a success I would like to see it continued every year”. But before you endanger your, limbs in the stampede to 390.with plans of festivals, booze-ups or orgies in Listowel, Puslinch, or Village II it should be borne in mind that 390 projects are time consuming. Leslie and Phil have been devoting ten hours every week to theirs for over a month. Nor must 390 be viewed as a “bird” course. Professor O’Brien will not only consider the success of the festival when she assesses this project, but also such aspects as the quality of planning: the use made. of resources; the judgements -in delegation; and the anticipation of problems. She will also be looking for an increased sensitivity toward community feelings and a greater awareness of local organization and the media.

The University of Waterloo (UW) has resigned itself to running a substantial deficit/next year because of lower-than-expected operating grants from the province, U-W president Burt Matthews said . Friday. Matthews said that determining how large the deficit will be “a judgement call”, but’ indicated it will likely ‘be less than half the university has in surplus funds. Also he said university financial officials have been instructed to prepare new budget figures. The expected deficit arises from the province’s announcement last Monday that total operating grants for universities will increase 16.9% next year. Ontario university officials calculate that when grants for special projects are deducted from this figure and increased enrolment is taken into account, the increment works out to 7.4% on a per-student basis. Presidents of Ontario’s 15 tax\ / supported universities agreed last Wednesday at a meeting in Toronto “Nobody need% grapes to survive” said United Farm Workers organizer - jessica Gouvea to a small UW gathering Friday. She said there are 800,000 that such an increase is not enough and will ask the province to reconchildren under 76 years o/d working in the California grape fields out of a work-force of threeXmil/ion. She exorted the audience to boycott California sider, although Matthews said he grapes because the pickers average income on/y amounts to $2;700 per year, thinks chances of more aid are slim. well below the American minimum wage.

Iimperialism: ’ Canadian style Next Thursday, Dec. 5, wellknown Black comzunity organiser .Horace Campbell comes to the University of Waterloo to speak on Canadian imperialism and racism. The following article previews the topic and assesses&ts relevance to Canadians. ’ e “We know that the Third World is not a hqmogeneous world; we know too that enslaved peoples are still to be found there, together with a simulacrum of phony independence, others who-are still fighting to attain sovereignty and others again who have obtained complete freedom but who live under the constant menace of imperialist aggression.”

bog invaded.

Students d&ma.nd lJAW stand. .

McGill University’s board of governors adjourned in confusion yesterday after about 50 students invaded its monthly meeting demanding a stand on the 11 month strike at United Aircraft of Canada Ltd. Board chairman S.M. Finlayson declared the meeting over and the governors scurried from McGill’s administration building moments after students circulated leaflets accusing the board of siding with the U.S. owned company against the strikers. Student spokesman Jeffrey Kugler told the board its “complicity” with the company “is shown very clearly by the fact that one of your members is also a director of United Aircraft. ” Kugler said- the presence of United Aircraft director G. Arnold Hart on the university’s governing body “shows how the people who run the universities and those who run the big corporations are all part of the same ruling class.” He demanded the board’ takea position-but Finlayson said the strike was not on the agenda and told the students to leave. When they refused, he adjourned the meeting. Several governors jostled students as they left the room, but there was no violence. “I regret they broke up the meeting,” said McGill principal Robert Bell, “but I really don’t know what we could do about the United Aircraft strike.” He said Hart, who was not present, intends to resign from the board of governors shortly. Kugler said the disruption was organized by McGill’s workers’

support committee-formed during a maintenance workers’ strike at the university last year-to “expose the links between McGill and big business and point out that they are all part of the same system. “By having someone like Hart among them, the board of governors has already taken a position against the workers at United Aircraft,” he said. “We want them to make their antiworker position public and stop trying to pretend they are neutral t “At least 50 people came and demanded that they take a stand, but they refused,” he said. “This is just blatant disrespect for students and for the United Aircraft workers themselves: “They showed quite well which side they are on .” Eigel _Pedersen, McGill’s academic vice-principal, called the disruption an “outrageous and irresponsible act. “I guess they made their point and drew attention to the strike, but they should realize the board isn’t just made up of businessmen,” may have Pedersen said. “That been true five years ago, but there have been a lot of changes since then.” Pedersensaid the students should have gone through “normal channels’_’ to discuss the strike, “but my hunch is they wouldn’t have been ableto get it on the agenda.” Kugler said the workers’ support committee plans further action on the issue. “This isn’t the last the board of governors has heard of us.” Tandrew

If NATO’s purpose is to defend Western Europe, then by logical deduction, the CIA was designed to provide support for socialist movements around the world. But this does not make sense. Nor will NATO ever make sense to peaceloving Canadians, so long as it is being used as an instrument of repression and exploitation and in protecting Canadian overseas investments in places like Southern Africa. Altogether there are about 15 major Canadian corporations, worth over $200 million dollars, in South Africa. Massey Fergusson lalone reaped profits of over $8 million in 1972.

developient in the Third World, but of how Canada quietly justifies imperialism with racism at home and abroad. Racism is not a new phenomenon in Canada. It is an integral part of Canadian history. McKenzie King admitted it; the media perpetuates A it; and the native Indians experience it. Ask-the 400 supporters of the Peoples Caravan who were brutally attacked on Parliament Hill on_ Sept. 30. ’ The government refuses to go to the reservations to speak with the Indians and when the latter go to Ottawa they are welcomed with violence. And so our minds turn to Attica. We remember the Sharpville massacre; and we remember Alabama. And we remember the thousands of blacks still looking toward the “true north strong and free”. * But Blacks in Canada will not be fooled; nor will oppressed people I anywhere. They have an indomitable spirit which is much too strong to be killed by either guns or racist propaganda. Black people know the relationship between racism and economic exploitation. They know that for the imperialist, his exploitative ends justify his racist means. As the West Indian- historian C.L.R. James stated: “All Negroes are aware of the mass of lies on which racial prejudice is -built; of the propaganda which is designed to cover naked exploitation. But the Negro and his friends have little chance to stem the propaganda. The main organs of publicity are in the hands of the < Whites.” Campbell’s visit. to Waterloo, therefore, is a welcome one which -is, perhaps, long overdue. His recent experiences and insight gained from his two-year stay in Africa, coupled with his extensive knowledge of West Indian affairs should be enough to stimulate serious thought on problems of Canada’s relationship with Third World peo/ ples. j

Factors on Sports Attendance,” ,Jerry N. Jordan cites research proving that, “sports minded people, because of their great interest in competitive games, were among the first to buy television sets.” TV companies were advertising such things ‘as, “-Your TV set is your ticket to the fifty-yard line,” or “Enjoy the game in comfort in your home regardless of the weather,” and so on. He notes that in 1948, the first year that television sets were being mass produced the percentage of epTV time devoted to sports was sometimes as high as 35 percent. Even now the most common plug for color TV buying is the suggestion that you can see the ,game in colour. Similarly, both pro sports owners and pay-TV companies are hoping sports can usher in the new super-gravy era of pay TV and profits for them both. So the general rule is that telev;sion needs sports almost as much as sports need television. In the era of monopoly capitalism both have’ the function of stimulating hyperconsumption and fronting for the mass advertiser, from who both industries get most of their financial backing and, th,erefore, by whom they are ultimately controlled. It should be pointed out that these advertising costs are added on to the price of consumer goods,

so that ultimately the working class is forced to pay the price of its own brain-washing. Monopoly capitalism needs monopoly capitalist sports and vice versa. The material conditions that create the one also create the other. As we have shown, sports watching helps’to develop the sort of passive, acquisitive stance that ,favors escape or pseudo satisfaction through consumption generally. If a guy is dumb enough to identify with a ball team, why not with a brand-name beer. (Baseball and Ballantine, Baseball and Ballantine . . .” is the little jingle that started all New York Yankee Baseball telecasts for many years.) And if a guy is desperate enough to look for his manhood in a ball park; why not in a department store? Sports machismo is good business. If you can keep the guys hustling after the brass ring of “manliness”, you can sell them everything from “a man’s deodorant” to “sports cars with drive,“. In the final analysis, all this is based not on any special idiocy of the sports world, not even on any special deviousness of-mass advertisers, but on the social relations of capitalist production itself. A guy who has to look for his humanity identifying with the supermasculine mentals of his team obviously is not one who’s engaged in

creative decision-making and control of work he can really believein. Turned into a cog on a job he does not believe in, with a woman whom the system has turned into another cog-or even worse, a housewife-his sex life is not likely to be all that great either. So he chases his manhood-or the, illusions of it-where he may, more or less like a hungry mouse in a maze. The success of sports promoters, or promoters generally, is based not on their ability to’inculcate “false” needs in people (as Marcuse, for one, seems to believe), but on their ability to turn ‘genuine needs, which-the capitalist system cannot satisfy, into vehicles for selling their products. A good example-of this is the commercial often heard during pro football games for Tijuana Smalls cigars -a jingle repeats again and again “With Tijuana Smalls, you know who you are, you know who you are.” The point is that the average fan does not know who he is. This system has turned him into a cipher, and in the back of his mind he knows it. Until there is workers’ control over industrial production, and until that production is reoriented toward serving unmanipulated human needs rather than the accumulation of profits, people will continue to seek their humanity in commodities.

OTTAWA (CUP)-The Commons Public Accounts Committee has been told two former cabinet ministers won Local Initiatives Project grants worth $243,000 in 1972-73 by putting pressure on LIP officials. At a meeting Nov. 21, the Committee was also told neither of the ’ grants met LIP standards. The ministers involved were former environment minister Jack Davis, defeated in his Vancouver Capilano riding last July, and Dr. Stanley Haidasz,‘ the minister formerly responsible for multiculturalism, who was dropped from the Cabinet in August. The two projects, the Silver Harbour Manor society activities centre for the aged in Vancouver and a Polish-Canadian cultural centre in Toronto, are noted in the 1972-73 auditor-general’s report. The report says both proposed projects did not meet objectives and criteria of the LIP programmes. But it adds the projects were approved “after persistent representations on behalf of the sponsors.” C.F. Gilhooly, director of departmental audits with the Auditor-General’s office, identified the two ministers as the persons who made the representations. Gilhooly told the committee the auditor-general’s office felt evidence in the files on the projects did not indicate that shortcomings in programmes had been overcome when they-had been approved: The two cases were the only ones cited in the auditor-general’s report, although A.E. Gotleib, deputy manpower minister, said memT bers of all political parties have made representations.

Rosie Douglas

paroled

MONTREAL (CUP)-Rosie Douglas, one of the protesters jailed after 1969 demonstrations against racism at Sir George Williams University which saw the school’s computer centre destroyed, has been paroled after serving 16 months of his two and a half year sentence. , I Douglas, in a letter to the Montreal Gazette, was highly critical of the prison system to which he had been subjected. “Empirical evidence reveals that prisons do not serve as a deterrent to crime; nor do they rehabilitate prisoners. Rather, during a period of , high inflation, $140 million of public funds is being misused in the prison system to dehumanize potentially creative men and women, most of whom come from the lower income strata of the population,” he said. . Douglas said that “as part of my duty to those who are behind the. horrid barbed wire fences,” he was preparing a paper on prison problems which he intended to. send, along with documentation of those problems, to Canada’s solicitor general. He called for prisoners to be given the right to vote andthe minimum wage for the work they did rather than the present 10 cents an hour. He also called for a complete overhaul of the parole system, better educational facilities and medical facilities, and an end to the forms of “feudal barbarity,” such as gassing prisoners, that occurs at most of the maximum security prisons. He was critical of the fact that while many people were in prison, those who benefited from, “exploitation of workers,” who pollute the environment and deprive workers of wage increases necessary to keep up with rising costs, who send profits home from Canada tothe United States-“ they are relatively free to continue their predatory activity.” Douglas also called for the release from prison of Martin Bracey, the only person still incarcerated as. a result of the actions at Sir George _ Williams.

Mary Jane Mewhinney Mary Jane Mewhinney is running for re-election to Waterloo City Council. This will be her second term. Mary Jane is 32 years old, a former nurse and mother of two children. During the past two years, Mewhitiney has shown herself to be open and approachable to many students at the University of Waterloo and Wilfrid Laurier University, acting as a resource person for many projects in political science, man environment and kinesiology. While sefving as chairman’of the community services committee, she supported a reciprocal agreement between th.e City of Waterloo and the Waterlqo Count-y Board of Education, for joint use .of recreation facilities; the implementation of creative playgrounds, and the enlarging of gymnasium facilities at Lincoln Village School. Mewhinney labels herself a conservationist, and has been staunch in her support of conserving older neighbourhoods, prime farmland, and unstable ecological areas-in the City of Waterloo.

The- same is true in mdny other ai-eas such as the availability of housing and the use of public recreational facilities such as Seagram’s Stadium.’ A student voice on counci! will also betiefit the city. We can bring to it the combined time, energy and resources of several thousands of its residents. Some of the areas in which studekts could provide positive input to councg are those of planning, recreation, engineering, . social work and resource manage- : meni. In the past many students from I this university have done work on alternate proposils concerning the above only to have it ignored because they could not find anyone to argue their case in council. If the students of this city take the time to vote we can make certain that we will have an effective voice on co,uncil. To that end I am asking for your support on Dec. 2. I would also like to remind students that even if they have not been enumerated they can still vote by - going to their polling station and signing an affadavit to the effect that they are eligible to vote in the election. We can elect a Student to council and with your support we will elect a student to cduncil.

1974

eventually turned into Housing ‘74. Politics-During the Housing ‘74 project I met and talked with many of our local politicians and Bureaucrats about students and the community as well as landlords, business men and other people affected by our presence here. The general feeling was one of confusion as opinions ranged from one extreme to the other. The main reason for this is our isolation from the community, they know little of what and who wereally are and so they can only make ‘udgement on what they see and hea$ through the media and hearsay. The way out of this is solid communications, which is why I am running for alderman so that if elected I can use the position to be an ambassador for the students, to..ex@ain and communicate our needs wants ati desires as well as making sure our rights as human beings are not violated so we are no longer second class citizens.

Sports Cukure I’ revisited

by Paul Hoch (CUP), Although journalism reviews rarely spend much time analyzing the sportspage, it is there, as much as anywhere else, that the average newspaper reader acquires his general world view and values. Indeed, surveys in the United States, Canada and Europe have repeatedly shown that roughly one third of the readership (and more than half of the male newspaper readership) reads little more t.han the sports page. Some analysts have claimed that our modern pro football and hockey spectacles are becoming a modemized version of the Roman gladiator shows. A sort of bread and circuses for the masses. A new opium for the people. c Sports news never has really been much more than a bit of razzamatazz for promotional purposes, and the bribery of the media men by professional promoters has long been, institu-tionalized. (In fact, listening to the sportscasters, it is impossible to differentiate them from sports promoter’s) In his excellent book, The Jocks, the late Leonard Sheeter remarks at one point that the so-called “Golden Age of Sport” in the ’20s was a golden age of payola. He gives the example of Madison Square Gardens impressario Tex Rickard who used to hand out $190 bills to deserving sportswriters. And he says, if things are less “golden” for sportswriters these days, Herb Epp, High School Teacher it is only because the team owners es After seven years as an alderman realized they could be had for virin the City of Waterloo I decided to tually nothing. be a candidate for mayor..My feel“To hell with the newspapering is that not enough thought and direction is being given to down- ’ men,” ex-Mets boss George Weiss used to. say, “you can-buy them town redevelopment, removal of with a steak.” the C.N.R. tracks-from the central In the March 5, 1932 issue of core, completion of secondary plans for all areas of the city and ‘Collier’s magazine, heavyweight boxing champ Gene Tunney wrote additional living units for our senior that he paid five percent of his fight citizens, to mention only ‘a few items. purses to newsmen for publicity.

million for a five year contract, (compared with the just under $9 million ABC had paid for the AFL’s previous five-year c’ontract), and this was the money the new league used to battle the old for the pick of the most promising rookies. “We couldn’t have’competed,” said AFL Commissioner Joe Foss, “without television.” And sure enough? with NBC putting up a good part of the-bankroll, the new league became almost as strong as the old, and NBC had a valuable product on its hands. “If you don’t watch these TV people,” says former Boston Cel-’ tics basketball coach Bill Russell, “they will devour you. First they ask you to call time-outs so they can get in their commercials. Then they will tell you when to call them. Then they .want to get into the locker room at half time. Then more and more. If you don’t put on the brakes, they’ll tell you when to play.” Russell made these statements five years ago. Now television does tell sports teams when to play-for example, we have ABC’s $7.5 million schedule of Monday night pro football. There has been a lot of hullabaloo about TV breaking upgames to get in commercials. The TV people,~ have always denied it. However, in May, 1967, pro soccer referee Peter Rhodes admitted that he yas required to wear an electronic beeper on his shoulder, and when the network (CBS) signaled, he had to signal an “injury,” thus allowing time for a commercial. In her autobiography, Nancy Greene talks about how the schedule of the Olympic Games tended to be divided to suit the convenience of the TV boys. But television controls not just when games are played, but whether they are played at all, and how they are played. Simply by giving coverage to sori’ie sports rather than others, TV can help ensure that those will be the popular ones. , Pro football, to take one example, struggled along as a sort of freak show of overgrown collegians until TV “created” it as a sport in the militarized era of the Cold War:‘In some recent football All-Star games, TV is said to have “prqhibited” red&dogging the quarterback, in order to give the viewing audience a more wide open spectacle. Schecter says the main reason the Milwaukee Braves were willing to go through the tremendous hassle of moving to Atlanta was that it was amuchmore lucrative TV r-narket.

massive assault ever mounted against the human nervous system. The psychosurgical campaign claimed 50,666 victims in the U.S. -and 2,660 more in Canada. Another 20,066 were mutilated in England, and countless thousands more were operated upon around the world. Many of these first victims still inhabit the back. wards of our mental hospitals. The early literature published on the subject greatly exaggerated the successes and ignored the grossly mutilating effects the operation had on the personality of the patient . Psychosurgeons rationalized their work by pointing to the reduction of anxiety~ or tension that resulted from the destruction of brain tissue. They constantly neglected, however> to mention the price paid for this improvement-an overall loss in the patient’s vitality. The human brain does not function in such a way that part of it can be destroyed (in order to relieve a specific symptom ) without the destruction causing other, often unpredictable, symptoms to develop. The caseloads of the early psychosurgeons are proof of this. Lobotomized patients undergo definitepersonality and behavioural changes as a result of the operation. The m,ost common of these changes are weight gain, change in moral standards, lack of concentration; loss of memory, lack of consideration, lack of insight, release of hostility, excessive chattering and redua tion of. emotional _-responsiveness. More serious side effects such as post-operative epilepsy, death due to surgery and postlobotomy suicides have also been reported. The following true case examples of postoperative successes illustrate only too well the above points: l Susan walked around naked in front of her son and father, drank excessively and attempted to t-hrow her son out of a window on two separate occasions. l Mary is subject to convulsions, is untidy, very obese, shows poor judgement, has little initiative and spends all day watching television. l Cathy has-had to be kept on medication because of _convulsive seizures resulting from her lobotomy. Although she takes care of her home, she shows a markedly flattened affect, little initiative, is disinterested in social life, is excessively demanding sexually and shows a 65 pound increase in weight. l Maria has gained a great deal of weight but she takes care of her home. She is overtalkative and shows no interest in sexual activity. In one report two psychosurgeons discussed a depression case which was gratifying results reported as having despite the fact that the woman, prior to her third lobotomy, committed suicide. The authors interpreted her suicide as a sign that she was recovering from her depression and,concluded that the case was a success. r No matter how gracious one wishes to be in assessing this early psychosurgical activity, one cannot escape from the fact that the surgical destruction of healthy brain tissue served really only one purpose. That

purpose was the control of mental patients. The deleterious side-effects (the loss of creativity, intellectual capacity and emotionalrange) could be justified because in the cost-benefit accounting system of the medical profession these were expendable qualities, reasonable costs to pay for the benefit of obtaining manageable patients and tranquil mental hospitals. __

LOBOTOMY

-. NOW

he Soviet Union, despite its repressive use of psychiatric classifications, outlawed the use of lobotomy in 1950, and in China human experimentation is not allowed. In Europe and North America however, the controversy surrounding psychosurgery did not reach a resolution stage& At the- time that opposition was mounting , the popularity of psychosurgery started to decline. Its decliine was not brought about by concern over the negative side-effects associated with the operation but because psychopharmaceutical agents were being produced that were easier to administer, -- less expensive and accomplished the same goal of making. patients more manageable. . Although the use,of lobotomy waned in the fifties it did not disappear. On the contrary, more refined and varied surgical techniques have developed over the years. IDifferent brain structures have become the target sites, and a much more diversified group of people have become suitable subjects. By 1972, the ‘resurgence of the lobotomy has reached such dramatic proportions that Cornelius Gallagher of the U.S. House of Representatives could suggest that the words “shocking and frightening” were too mild to describe the present situation. Mr. Gallagher has just cause for concern. At present, psychosurgery is being performed in many countries around the world, and it is being recommended as a remedy for almost every conceivable psychiatric, behavioural, personality, political and social problem. Unfortunately, many of the recent reports on lobotomy, read much like television commercials for aspirin. “Modif ied lobotomy is a safe and effective method of reducing the symptoms of excessive tension, anxiety, fear or depression in patients with a variety of illnesses including anxiety neurosis, phobic-y psychoneurosis, obsessional neurosis, neurotic or psychotic depressive reaction ‘and schizophrenia .” Nor does the list stop there. It has also been suggested as a cure for depression in the elderly, drug addiction, gambling, aicoholism, agrophobia and sexual disorl ders. In addition it has been recommended as a treatment for hyperactivity in children, as a means to curb criminal behaviour and recently as a way to control rioters and L. political dissidents. The question could be raised whether we should still consider psychosurgery as a medical technique or whether we should see in it a means of social and political control. I Present day psychosurgeons promote the use of lobotomy not to cure disease but to

control -deviant behaviour. The distinction between these two concepts has unfortunately been lost on the psychiatric profession. As a means of therapy, psychosurgery is recommended to altb and correct behavrour that is seen as inappropriate by those with the power to judge. The diagnosis of deviance is not as -objective an evaluation as is, say, the diagnosis of cancer. It is a value judgement conferred upon a person’s behaviour by the defining authority. Certain members of our society by virtue of their medical degree are given the power _ to judge-other people’s behaviour. We must not lose sight of the fact that what is being diagnosed is often not a condition of organic pathology but an attitude, behaviour or ’ value system that is different from or stands in opposition to that held by the group that has the power to judge. For instance, the psychiatric profession will not defirie those persons who are reaping exorbitant profits from the food industry as deviant, let alone sick. On the other hand they will diagnose as deviant the individual who steals in order to obtain the food he cannot afford. In fact, a current trend within psychiatric circles is to define more and more criminal behaviour as mental illneSs. Not all attempts to invalidate personal or social dissent by concocting a label of , merital illness are easily recognized as political acts of oppression. But if we keep in mind the fact that the ney target populations for psychosuzery are those groupspresently without power. (children, the elderly: women, minority groups, the poor and political dissidents)., then we can see in psychosurgery an effective weapon for the purposes of sodial control.-Dr. Balasubramian, the foremost psychosurgeon in India, has developed a new technique called Sedative Neurosurgery. This procedure, writes Balasubramian “is, the term applied to that aspect of neurosurgery where a patient is made quiet and qanageable by an operation”. More . recently he has reported that patients develop a sense of fear after the operation. “In cases that are still mildly troublesome”, he v%ites, “the threat of-x punishment quiets -them.”

t is easy to understandwhy the technique is growing in popularity, Psychosurgery can be an effective weapon 1 in the hands of any state hospital superintendant or prison warden. As previously mentioned the target population is no longer restricted to those individuals incarcerated in state instituti6ns.-One of the more recent * developments ifi the field is experimentation on hyperactive children. , Two prominent researchers in Japan operate ofi children characterized by un-‘ a steadiness and hyperactivity. Their best -results indicate that improvements “consisting of calming and taming effects” were achieved in over half of the cases. Closer to homewe have Dr. O:J. Andy and a psychologist M. Jurko of the University of Mississippi who are performing at times multiple operations on children in order “to reduce the hyperactivity to levels manageable by parents”. Andy recognizes these children as behavioural problems but believes that there is a neurological basis to the disorder. He admits, however, that he can find nothing neurologically wrong. -One qf his .patients, a boy of nine, was operated on twice in a nine month period.After a year Andy wrote that “symptoms of hyperirritability, aggressiveness, nega tivisn;l and combativeness” slowly reappeared. The child- was returned for a more extensive third operation. This time the child showed signs of brain damage and was operated on for a fourth time.. In 197’0, c Andy reported that the patient was easy to deteriorating inmanage but was tellectually. In other?vords in an attempt to control aggressive behaviour, children are being emotionapy and intellectually crippled for life. Women of all ages make up the great majority of the caseloads and the successes From the available of psychosurgeons. clinical evidence it would appear that it is

surgical methods that they propose are the injection of various drugs, psychosurgery, and electrical stimulation of the brain * through implanted electrodes. The four case presented in the book as successful operations have b&n widely publicized as proof of the&erapeutic efficacy of psychosurgery. All. the patients -were reported to be cured of aggressiveness without any disabling sideeffects. Contrary information, however, was published by Dr. Peter Breggin, director of the Prqject to Examine \Psychiatric Technology based in Washington D.C. In a, discussion of the researchers’ best patient, Julia, Breggin reports that after the operation she wa,s an emotional cripple. As 5 result of the operation she had lost her ability to play the guitar, to carry on intellect& conversations and to relate /to people on the ward. Dr. Breggin states that he has a signed written description of how the nurses cried together over Julia’s conditioq after surgery. Neurologist Ernest Rodin lends support to Breggin’s accusations. After Rodin visited the Boston project he wrote that “none of the four patients in Violence and the Brain had been substantially helped by surgery. Two were in state hospitals, one in a ‘ngrsing home and one in a Veteran Administration Hospital.“’ The conclusion is inescapable that the author’s medico-technological approach to social problems is a political action and not a therapeutic one. In 1971 the Federal Justice--Department’s Law Enforcement Assistance Administration (the agency that funds local police de-partments in the U.S. and helps equip them with riot control equipment) provided the Neuro-Research Foundation with 109,000 dollars for the development of routine medical screening ‘procedures for the potentially violent offender and for the development of treatment technique including psychosurgery. Congress later awarded them another $!%,ooO for the same work.

BiikN CONTROL IN PRISONS

t about the same time, Leroy Aarons, published a page one story in the Washington Post describing three psychosurgical operations that had been . performed in 1968 in the California prison ~ system. As a Fesult of public outrage the California Bureau of Prisons denied that _ there were any plans for future operafions, but contrary information was leaked to the .. press. The informationin question was correspondence between R. Procunier, Director of Corrections of the State of California, and the California Council af Criminal Justice. The correspondence outlined a program for the “neurosurgical evaluation and treatment for the violent inmate”. According to this proposal in’ mates would go-through a two to three \iveek diagnostic evaluation at Vacaville priso! after which some would be picked for . psyc‘hosurgery . The following is part of an official af_ fidavit describing one inmate who was being transferred to Vacaville. I “Donald was, 25, older and more mature thati the bulk of the inmat&. He was aggressively outspoken,. always seeking recruits for his views that the ihstitution and * its staff were oppressing all t&e inmates and particularly the black inm&s...He had been one of a half dozen men who led a work stoppage and an attempted general strike which lasted several days...friends and attorneys on the outside encouraged his activities and provided him with -books ’ attacking society.” After public and prOf&sional pressure mounted, the plans for the use of lobotomy were publicly tabled (not dropped). The Deputy Chief of the Department of Ctirrections added, however, that “the rest of the program will go forward”. This included the use of sodium pentathoi; anectine, a death simulating drug; antitesterone injections to neutralize sex hormones ; and a programme of aversive therapy taken ri&t out of A Clockwork Orange.

Later, however, it was revealed that they were awarded one million dollars to continue their work through theNational Institute of Neurological Disease and Stroke.

It is difficult to assess just how many of these operations are conducted in Canada. Statistics Canada reported that 473 lobotomies were performed in 1968.

Carol fantasy tenth year Tonight and tomorrow night, Alfred Kunz, the University of Waterloo music director, will conduct his musicians in the 10th Anniversary Carol Fantasy performance. When Mr. Kunz first came here ten years ago, he .managed to gather together 15 singers who were accompanied by two violins, a trumpet, a tuba and a bassoon. Naturally it was difficult finding music to suit that sort of ensemble. As a result, Mr. Kunz wrote his own-music and thaf formed the basis for the first Carol Fantasy. Since 1965, the nu’mber of people involved in the participatory music programme has grown enormously. Involved in this year’s performance are sixty singers of the Concert Choir, eighteen singers of the Chamber Choir, forty musicians and a small Children’s Choir. With this kind of personnel involved, it is possible to do more intricate musical works by some of the classical compose.rs. For example, the major work performed last year was Bach’s Magnificat.,This year, one of the featured works is -Mozart’s Coronation Mass. Mr. Kunz feels that performance of this type of work is necessary so that the students involved will have the opportunity to experience all types of music. Also of great benefit to the musicians, is the fact that they are able to work with the composer of many of the musical pieces that they perform. Part of Mr. Kunz’s job is that of arranging and composing special works to,be performed by the university music groups. Some of the works which were premiered here, have been of such good quality that they were subsequently performed by groups such as the Toronto Symphony Orchestra. The featured work of this year’s Carol Fantasy will be another Kunz composition, entitled “Kyrie Eleison”. This piece was composed only this year, to be premiered at this, the 10th anniversary of Carol Fantasy.

Last Saturday afternoon the Warriors travelled to Hamilton to meet the McMaster Marlins. A much improved McMaster team gave the Warriors a run for their money, in a third period rush which saw them come from behind to take over the. lead temporarily. The Warriors started the first shift of the game wh a bombardement of shots on the Marlin net but were unsuccessful in any scoring attempts. The Warriors seemed to encounter some difficulty in controlling the puck in this period and due to good goaltending by Jake -Dupuis were not scored upon. The period remained scoreless. McMaster opened the scoring in the second period at the 4:53 mark. The Warriors surged forward with three goals. The Guimond, Hawkshaw, Asheral line accounted for all three markers while the other Waterloo lines did an effective job of checking and penalty killing. Ron Hawkshaw collected the first two Warrior go_als, one resulting from a Waterloo powerplay and the second a shorthanded goal with Barnes serving time in the penalty box. Mike Guimond scored the third Waterloo goal on a combination play with Hawkshaw and Asheral. The period ended 3-l in favour of the Warriors. The Marlins came on strong in the third period, tying the game and then scoring an additional marker to move into the lead. The Marlin go ahead goal resulted from a breakaway, when Murray Mark. acquired a loose puck from behind Warrior defenceman Frank Staubitz. The Warriors refused to obtain their first defeat of the season at the hands of the Marlins and Ralph Biamonte scored at the 18:42 mark of the period to end the game in a four all tie. The Warriors have four night-. games coming up this week. They ’ travelled to St. Catherines Iast night to meet the Brock Badgers but no score was available at press time. The Warriors willbe at home tonight to host the Ryerson Rams at the Waterloo Barn. Game time is 8 p.m. Tomorrow *evening they will travel to Toronto for a return encounter against the Rams and this coming Tuesday they will travel to Guelph to meet the Gryphons. -liskr&

Science defended In a letter printed in the Nov. 15 issue of the chevron the students registered in the science faculty were unjustly criticized. Duncan has accused us of having “fringe mentalities” implying that we can never grasp an idea by its core-. He criticizes us because he thinks we ignore entire areas of knowledge and beauty; the areas of chemistry, of biology and of physics, the area of science itself. Who is he to condemn us when he himself is guilty of having a “fringe mentality”? Aren’t arts students just as guilty of ignoring entire areas of knowledge and beauty as science students are? When one sees Toller Cranston or Karen Magnussen performing triple jumps, spins and various other balIet movements he is quick, to see the beauty and grace that they perform with. But look deeper. Don’t ignore the velocities, the trajectories and the forces’that lie underneath their performances. Without their knowledge of physics, ‘the skating artists would not be as beautiful as they truly are. When one sees the statue of David, by the great Michelangelo, one may sense the feelings and thebeauty expressed by the artist in his famous work. But would the statue be as great if Michelangelo did not have a knowledge of biology. His knowledge of how the body works, -how it moves and how it is put together allowed him to sculpture the human body in perfection. Now look at a painting. A da Vinci or a Rembrant will do. The various colours displayed on canvas by talented artists are indeed beautiful but where do the colours come from? What makes colours colourful? What colour. do you get when you mix red and yellow? What makes the colours remain so bright for so long? Without the knowledge of chemistry the artists’ paintings would be pretty bleak indeed. Duncan has also accused scientists of being void of feeling and of aesthetic involvement in their discipline. Duncan himself, said that true meaning and feeling come about through one’s own efforts and insights. Beauty is a quality attributed to whatever pleases or satisfies the individual. Is the thought of finding beauty in nature absurd? Not to a biologist. Is the thought of linding fascination at a chemical’s peculiar properties so ridiculous? ,Not to a biologist. Is the thought of a physicist seeing simplicity and harmony in motion so unbelievable? Definitely not! To think that scientists throughout the world only think of science as a job just shows how incredibly ignorant you are Duncan! Duncan asks us science students if we ever heard of Karl Popper, Stephen Toulmin or Thomas Kuhn. Quite frankly, I don’t even know the names of all of my first cousins. But here’s another name to add to your list of philosophers ofscience: Bertrand Russell. Remember him Duncan?! He’s the one who the said that what is know-

ledge is science, what is not science is not knowledge. By the way, the next time you find yourself asking science students if they recognize names, ask a few arts students also and see if they score any better in your absurd little test. You ask us if science teaches us how to live, Duncan, then con&de that only an Arts education can provide that. To me you are astonishingly shallow of thought and truly lack the awareness of the other possibilities. Do you recognize the symptoms, Duncan! By the way, what faculty are you in? Surely not the arts programme with their intensive effort of exposing you to opportunities that expand your thinking. There’s more to science than memorization of facts. Science also exposes you to opportunities of expanding one’s thoughts. Although the paths of pursuing arts and pursuing science or any other discipline may differ, they all lead to the same goal. That goal is understanding oneself and understanding the world we live in. If all arts students are like you, Duncan, I have no hope for them as human beings ! ! I realize’ there are “fringe mentalities” all over the world, Duncan, but before you accuse them take a look at yourself. Robert Chambers Yr 4 Chemistry

Libelous charges On Nov.

15 a letter appeared in under the headline “Shallow minds at UW irks student”. In it a pointed attack was launched on science students accusing them‘ of being narrowminded, self-satisified, superficial, smug anti-intellectuals; who bore closed minds towards anything that didn’t spell out “science”. Especially arts. .. As a student of science I take great exception to this ridiculous generalization and also to being labelled a “fringe mentality”. And I would really like’ to know this, “has Duncan been in contact with such a great number of scientists and students that he feels justified in making such libelous assertations!” Furthermore, in response to his theory that this sad condition of science students has come about due to a total lack of any mindexpanding or thought-provoking courses I must point out that his assumption is false. For such courses do exJst in science. For instance, who is not spellbound by the almost mystical nature of the ever elusive ‘electron. And how can one be exposed to the subtle manipulations of differential calculus and not be overwhelmed by the beauty of mathematics in motion. It is said, “Good Calculus exams are not written/they are inspired.’ ’ Yes, some of us in the sciences do appreciate the finer things in life and are en’vious of those who engage daily in the fascinating world of philosophy, psychology and languages. ‘But we have made our choice,and you have made yours and a mutual respect should issue. Instead accusations of narrow-

the

chevron

mindedness and shallow minds are made. I find this quite ironic since Duncan’s letter displayed an almost unbelievable arrogance. He calmly dismisses Science at UW.as being devoid of any rear value when it comes down to knowing how to live ! Well then, knowing how to live has certainly taught someone the finer points of cruel, biting insultsinsults that don’t hold a grain of truth. For science serves as the means io ac@re a greater understanding of our natural existence; surely an essential to someone who is trying to understand and know himself. Perhaps Duncan should open up his mind to the strivings of others as readily as he does to knowledge. Constructive criticism requires thought and feeling; flat condemnation requires a mouth!

The second is to seek in the dispute. (“From first to last this has been the work of god. He has reconciled us men to himself, and he has enlisted us in the service of reconcilia2 Corinthians 5: 18). As tion.” Christians, we see our task in the world to be seeking reconciliation between god and man and between man and man. We must place qualifications on this statement because many of the facts are cloaked in mystery. As the facts come to light we may change our position. Our present position is: 1) Principal John Towler’s behaviour in firing the two (or three) professors on Oct. 31,1974 was not in the best interests of the college, “academic freedom” or justice to the professors involved. The manner of disChristopher MacLellan missal was wrong. 2) John Towler Eng. may have good reasons for the dis-, missals but due to the “legalities” these have not been brought to light. This may be a way of justify’ ing an unreasonable act or may be in the best interests of the dismissed professors. He may be trying to ‘supports protect these professors from professional ruin and public embar,rassment if the reasons are as profound as he leads on to be. This may be especially true for Hugh Unfortunately, many of our Miller, whom the RAA do not seem members were away during the too zealous to defend. There is also first important week of the Renison indication of this in the RAA’s shift boycott, and the Environmental from protesting the firing to an apStudies Society (ESS) was unable peal for “academic freedom”. 3) If to voice its solidarity with the Renison’s academic programme is RAA. However, at a general counto be progressive and expand, there ?il meeting of the society on Wedis a need for reform in the nesday last, the members expresdecision-making process. The colsed support of the Renison stulege can no longer have a unilateral dents’ protests, and demands. The administrative hierarchy. 43 The Federation of Students must also board of governors of Renison Colbe applauded for immediate and lege seems to be acting in good faith strong backing Q‘f the Renison to resolve the dispute and bring cause. We cannot afford to let the about administrative reform. Conarrogance of the college’s firings structive steps in the right direction set an uneasy precedent for Reniinclude the extention of “voting son or for UW without risking what rights to three student reps and one minimal student input we n,ow faculty rep who previously atenjoy.

points, such as Marxism, should not be allowed open forum. As with Jeff Forest’s “teaching methods which criticize contemporary society”, most Christian principles do, as well, by offering the true spiritual basis for seeking radical, social-political altepatives to oppression and injustice.‘If the bo,ard of governors and John Towler are suppressing criticism ’ of contemporary society, then they are suppressing Christian ideals as well. Any Christian who defends the status quo is not under the will of god: As stated above, we believe both sides have acted wrongly and unreasonably. Therefore although we support the goal of academic freedom, we cannot support the RAA’s actions.

Another ’\ side ofthe story Renison College has been a place where personal conscience has \ been encouraged and respected until recently. Professors and students have been very fortunate to have a two-way communication that allowed for their ideas to be ’ supported or criticized. During the last three weeks something has happened to this channel of communication. Some people have become very close-minded when it comes to looking for ideas that’ would resolve the ensuing problems . There have been injustices ‘on both sides but the actions have been speaking louder than the words. I have been quite upset over how the students have been treated by their fellow students and professors during this recent occurance. The word “democracy” has been used by the Renison Academic Assembly (RAA) incorrectly. Some faculty members have been behaving in a very unprofessional manner, by making accusation .s to the _ detriment of their students and fellow professors. Human consideration has been at an all time low and ’ this must change. Renison College has always encouraged self and social awareness in its community and I think this should be imme’diately restored. No one member has any right to infringe on the beliefs and values of others unless there is a willingness on both sides. Jeff and Marsha Forest, Marlene Webber and the RAA (and its advisors) have tried to impose their own selfish wills on everyone else. I oppose all actions destructive to the community spir.it at Renison. This group of people won’t stop ,Renison College programming as long as there are people like myself enrolled in the programme. This college has too much going for it to ever be allowed to fall prey to these. . . Renison College will always be a reality. i Mbrris A. Goldeh 3rd year Applied Social Science t Renison

hwler attacks; ’ -RkJLi responds The

followingarticle

was writ&n

by member% of the Renison Academic Assembly in an attempt to refute and clar‘ify certain charges made by Renison COIlege principal John Towler, at a general meeting of college students Monday. The meeting was closed to alIz but those taking two to three college courses and those living in the college’s residence.

coctions that have come to consti_ tute cause for dismissal in the minds of some people. About the stud-ents, Towler was most eloquent. In one breath he called student representation at Renison “nothing but a mockery” and shortly after told students “you should indicate your desires through your elected student rep., It’s noteworthy that resentatives” two of the student representatives to the student-faculty council are Janet Steele and Carolyn Sawyer. Both Steele and Sawyer were elected to the tri-parte steering committee recently set up by the board. That election is an interesting bit of business. Several irregularities were evident in its execution, including the fact that the results were not publicly released after the ballots were counted and it was not until Steele called Towler and insisted upon her right to the results that the information was volunteered. Of the three students elected that day (the’election called for two reps) only one came from the ranks of the RAA’s opposition It is also interesting that no -RAA scrutineer participated in the ballot count although a member of the RAA’s opposition did. In any case, the election expressed a clear vote of student confidence in the RAA. Sawyer and RAA opposition candidate, Morry Golden, tied for second place. The board’s solution to this dilemma was not a run-off but an eagerness to increase student representation on the pro-tern steering committee by incorporating both Sawyer and Golden. At Monday night’s meeting, Towler acknowledged that the election procedures were not quite orthodox (though he did not cite the above reasons suggesting instead that the RAA nominations had been received past the deadline) and put forth two possible solutions: “either you may remove the names of the candidates who were illegally nominated in which case the winners of the election would be those students who polled the highest number of votes, in this case’Morry Golden .and Kathy Hunter (both RAA opposition). The other alternative is to declare the election -invalid and to hold a new election.” The attempt to discredit carefully selected students did not stop with the election spiel. Towler went on to haunt the old arguments of nepotism but going far beyond ties of blood. “There have been other cases in which relatives, or part-time instructors, or students of the faculty, have lived or are living with various faculty members, been employed by the college and have been given a voice and a vote at council meetings.” Steele lives in the same co-operative as faculty member Marlene Webber .

by the RAA The Principal of Renison College called a meeting on Monday night, the first, despite repeated demands by the RAA over the past weeks for an open public hearing involving all \ parties. It was not however an open meeting, as Towler restricted eligibility for attendance to residents, applied social science students, and those taking two’ or more core area courses’ at Renison. Towler’s arrangement failed because a large number of concerned people from outside Renison gained entrance despite considerable harassment, at the door from a faculty member. A crucial point, which Towler does not seem to understand is that the Renison affair’s broad issue of academic freedom concerns all students. By restricting atten_dance, Towler is reflecting the idea that this issue will, or should remain within Renison’s confines. As evidenced by the makedup of the audience on Monday evening,. and by the resolutions of ,support from other parts of the country, he would appear to be gravely mistaken. Tdwler allowed students to miss classes in order to attend the meeting. However, he did not consult with faculty involved in teaching courses that evening-Sandra Sachs, Marsha Forest and Marlene Webber. ’ At a faculty meeting earlier in the ‘day, Towler invited only full-time faculty to the meeting. Jeffrey Forest, Hugh Miller and Marsha Forest, plus all part-time faculty were excluded. He also invited full-time faculty to work at the entrance door to assist in the process of attempting to bar ineligible attenders. / Towler opened the meeting and read his long statement. The students listened quietly, confident that they would be able to respond after he had finished. Democracy was nowhere evident, however, as Towler proceeded to adjourn the meeting immediately after his speech thus refusing to enter into any discussion with those whom he had slandered, The content of Towler’s statement primarily addressed itself to allegations against Hugh Miller, Jeff Forest and Marlene Webber. In the case of Miller and Forest, the two fired faculty members, Towler A pro-tern administrative comdisclosed some of the alleged reasons behind the firings. The mittee ’ consisting of professors Nagler and reasons brought forward are so Donald ,M:Timkulu, .Zentner, Towler and two students petty that they don’t deserve repetwho will ultimately be chosen by ition. Towler, is being set up for students In front of the sizeable gathering, Towler called for confidentiality on who are “fearful that ,your grades his disclosures and we are glad to will suffer as a result of daring to aecomodate his sincere wishes that differ from those faculty members the specific allegations not go to the who have supported the boycott”. Towler stated that “I will never press. We would not want to contribute to advancing the cause of allow you to be so cruelly used”. giving credence to the bizarre conClearly, it is reasonable to raise

several concerns about this committee, not least of which is the fact that it is not representative of students. Besides, what mechanisms exist to protect M’Timkulu’s, Nagler’ s, Zentner’s and Towler’s students/--who supported the boycott. It is common knowledge that none of the faculty on the protern administrative committee were in-favour of the boycott. Supporters of the boycott are obviously more vulnerable to academic reprisal by virtue of the fact that more attention, whether favourable or otherwise, has been directed towards them.

Sabotage Towler went on to state that “faculty members and students acte,d to sabotage the acceptance of our honours programme”. This statement is completely false. Long before the dismissals of Forest and Miller, students had begun to organize specifically around pushing through the honours programme. When it came to our attention that it was intentionally being held back to facilitate the reworking of a Renisonarts faculty relationship, which would in essence ‘departmentalize’ Renison, concerned students went to work gathering documentation and evidence to support our suspicions. , Again, even before the firings occurred we (the elected student representatives to the faculty-student council) I had completed a historical document ‘of the honours programme that was to be mailed to all students in the social science (applied) programme. It was our hope that this document would enlighten the students to the way in which their programme was being used and to further give us support in our efforts to rectify what w)e considered to be an intolerable situation. ’ The irony in this allegation of sabotage is precisely the presence of the opposite intent amongst the students. We wanted that programme badly and worked extremely hard to establish it. Monday night’s meeting at Renison College was consis tent with the general tenor of the “discussions” which hdve been designed by Towler and the board of go3ernors. It violated all precepts ofdemocratic process and full and open debate. It carried forward the dedication to furthering rumour, unsubstantiated charges and the popular practice of defamation by innuendo . Before the event was. over, all leading students and -faculty in the struggle for academic freedom and due process, were subject as. named and implied individuals to extremely disparaging remarks. In

the midst of rhetoric about the high wake of the damaging attack which regard Towler holds for students, Towler launched, clearly demon’ in the midst of rhetoric about strates what has been explicit all democratic process, Towler once along-that students are not again confnmed his real opinion of Towler’s favourite people. students. But by showing his hand once The paternalism evident in the more, Towler has only provided make-up of the pro-tern administramore fuel for the RAA and its suptive committee (student “represenporters in our struggle for.academic tatives” to be picked by the comfreedom, due process and our right mittee) and the refusal to entertain ’ to organise to achieve these and ’ any discussion from the floor in the other aims.

The situation at Renison College

It is extremely difficult to remain silent in the face of principal John Towler’s allegations and innuendos. It, is our belief that they are fabrications and untruths designed to undermine our position by inference and not by fact. What we are asking for is a’n impartial and properly tuted academic forum where both sides can be presented

constifairly.

’

We feel that an arbitration board,aCceptable to both sides and whose decision would be legallybinding is the best procedure for resolving this dispute. It is important to note that so far Renison College has not provided‘ one opportunity where7 both sides of the dispute ~ could be presented and has been unwilling to submit to arbitration of any kind. It is’ also important for all mem.bers of the University of Waterloo academic community to ask why Renison College will not submit to an independent investigation of this matter. .-/
