Inside. Non-violence Guerrillas

Less than four hundred students bothered to walk over to the campus centre and register their vote in last week’s municipal elections. Approximately 180 students who were not previously enumerated swore out affadavits and voted. The total student turnout was slightly over i ,000. -photo by randy, hannfgan

Federation of Students president Andy Telegdi was blasted at Sunday’s council meeting by two executive chairmen for exhorting students to vote in the Dec. 2 municipal election at federation events over the sponsored weekend. Entertainment chairman Art Ram and creative arts chairman Dave Kallay said they received “flack from- people who heard” Telegdi publicly endorse student aldermanic candidates at a ‘ ‘Carol Fantasy” performance and a concert last weekend. The federation entertainment board stages large and small concerts, while creative arts sponsors plays and other cultural activities. Ram and Kallay jointly introduced a motion which would ban future political announcements at their boards’ functions, but council decided after a long debate to table the matter pending further study by the‘ executive committee. Defending Telegdi’s political plugs, education chairman Shane Roberts said “all federation boards are extensions of council” so “if the organization decides that something should be supported then it is perfectly proper that it be announced at the organization’s functions’ ’ . But engineering councillor Dave Rowat said the students paid to see a certain event and not to hear political announcements. Telegdi said he asked the audience at “Carol Fantasy” and <the

“Students are niggers because they want to be niggers” was the reaction of, federation of students president Andy Telegdi at the low turnout of student voters in Monday’s municipal election. Despite intensive efforts by Telegdi to get 800 on-campus students enumerated, plus a “phone campaign” to make students aware of their rights to swear an affidavit at the polls, only slightly more than 1,000 students voted. Only 200 of the 800 enumerated students voted at the campus centre polling station and an additional 180 students swore affidavits and voted. It is apparent. that from the number of votes received by the students, ranging from 1,189 votes for JoeCooper to 1,894 for Terry Harding, there was a heavier offcampus student vote, than oncampus. The number of student votes became apparent when Kathy Reynolds received 1,2 12 votes, despite the fact that she had publicly withdrawnfrom the elections, but only after it was too late to have her name removed from the ballot. Although Harding led the UW student candidates he was still approximately 3,000 votes behind the number that he would have required to be elected to council. The voter turnout in Waterloo was 34 percent and working on a figure of 10,000 students in Waterloo it would have only required a 50 percent turnout by students to elect at least three or four council members . The return of the six incumbent I

aldermen plus the election of two conservative newcomers indicates that the City of Waterloo is not going to change in any great manner and. that the people are apparently not going to support any reform candidates for a while to come. The election of Herb Epp as Mayor, replacing Don Meston, will have no noticeable effects on the politics or leadership of the city since there were no issues that the two persons claimed to take different views on. Epp will perhaps bring more enthusiasm to council but that will be all. Meanwhile in Kitchener there may be a definite change in the patterns of municipal politics with the implementation of the ward system, which the voters overwhelmingly voted in favour of. Not only did they vote in favour of the ward system, but the two aldermen who strongly favoured the ward system managed to gain the first and second positions. Kitchener residents also endorsed a policy that candidates must be eligible voters in the ward in which they are seeking election. This means that the candidates will have to either live in or rent premises in the ward for which they are trying to represent. The upset in the mayoralty race in Kitchener could be interpreted as a protest voice against Sid McLennan rather than a strong endorsement for Edith Macintosh. But as in Waterloo no great changes are expected in Kitchener,. -randy

Christmas _ ,

outing

An International Christmas is being planned by the Inter-varsity Christian Fellowship group, in an effort to acquaint international students to typical Canadian winter sports. The outing is planned lto take place from Dec. 23 to Dec. 27, and will be held at the Ontario Pioneer camp near Huntsvjlle in the Muskoka area of Ontario. The Christmas is being planned in order to give those students who may not have anywhere to spend Christmas a chance to experience’s Canadian Christmas. The fellowship group hopes to have an even mixture of foreign and domestic students at the camp so as to allow both groups to have a chance to familiarize themselves to the customs of others. Each morning of the outing will be devoted to stressing outdoor activities, both cross country and downhill, skiing, skating, tobogganning, etc. and the evenings will be devoted to events dealing with various international customs and traditions. This international Christmas is being planned similiarly to one that has been running for several years in the western provinces that is held at the Banff school of fine arts. At that event, close to 30S)-students take part, but the one that is planned for this area will be limited to 50 students. The cost for the event, excluding transportation, is $41, and the fellowship people are trying to arrange car pools for travel. Brochures announcing this event are posted around campus, and anyone interested in the event should register before the fifteenth of this month, but preferrably before the tenth in order to assure a reservation. For more information contact Harry Rlassen at ext. 2367 or 884- 1827.

Transit

deficit

Waterloo city council is considering the elimination of Kitchener Transit routes no. 4; Glasgow-Guelph, and no. 5; Hallman-Lancaster. The proposal was made by city engineer Jack Willis at Tuesday’s council meeting due to the lack of revenue received in fares from both I routes. The routes have lost in the neighbourhood of $75,000. Willis suggestedthe two routes be combined because they’re parallel to each other, hoping this would generate more revenue and make the routes financially self-sufficient. Alderman Harold Wagner suggested Kitchener Transit reduce the frequency of service on the two lines rather than combining the two. This proposal failed to get any support. Alder-woman Mary-Jane Mewhinney suggested the question of public transit be further studied “to analyse present routes, for extension pf service in some areas and reduction in others.” Mewhinney pointed out the Lakeshore Village area, Beechwood downs, and Lincoln village as all needing extended service. Willis admitted he had not considered extending or introducing new services. Alderman Roy Bauman defended Willis saying “we’ve done our homework on transit. After all we just opened a new service in Lincoln village. ’ ’ However, Alderwoman Mewhinney stood her ground and replied “there is a great need for better service, especially in Lakeshore west. Council then dropped the matter, to be further studied by the city engineer and other city staff who will recommend reductions and extensions in the transit service. ’ 1

Boycott

protest

Twenty raging engineers involved in last week’s ice cream eating contest stormed the Chevron office Friday to protest the paper’s back page. The back page depicted a starving African child contrasted with a picture from the ice cream eating contest asking readers “Would you turn your back on a starving child”. The engineers felt the the Chevron was unduly “shitting on their fellow students.” The contest was originally proposed by Baskin-Robbins who asked Wilfrid Laurier University and the University of Waterloo student federations to organize the event to advertise the store. -_ Due to the prodding of several UW students and bad publicity in the media, Baskin-Robbins donated two hundred dollars to the UN fund for famine relief. Also both universities’ student federations donated one hundred dollars each. Despite all the controversy no Guinness world records were broken.

Food services All food campus food services outlets will be closed for a period of nine days during the Christmas break, from,Saturday, December 21 to Sunday Dec. 29. The Modem Languages coffee shop will open first, on Monday, December 30; Both South Campus Hall cafeteria and the campus centre cafeteria will open again on Dec. 6. Also outlets will all be closed New Years Day, January 1.

Miller allowed , a on UW senate ‘Renison College’s academic dean Hugh Miller is still a member of the University of Waterloo (UW) senate despite his dismissal effec-, tive Dec. 20, said UW president Burt Matthews to the senate executive Monday. Matthews said he received a letter from Renison principal John Towler informing him that although Miller, in his termination letter, could not attend college meetings, he could still attend UW senate meetings. However, if Miller doesn’t stay on after the Christmas break, he’ll forfeit his seat because he “loses” his “eligibility” Matthews said. Senate in mid November in-

strutted its executive to look into whether Miller, an elected member of senate representing Renison faculty, was prevented to attend meetings due to his dismissal Oct. 31 by Towler. Student senator Andy Telegdi asked the executive whether there was going to be any investigation on the part of senate regarding the Renison dispute. “We’re not just talking about Miller’s right to sit on senate, but about what’s happening at Renison’ ’ . . The executive, however, shared statistics Prof. Greg Bennet’s opinion that until there’s a final report from the Canadian Association of ‘University Teachers (CAUT) on

-Ottawa cutbacks -

Students at Ottawa University boycotted classes Friday and Monday to protest loan cutbacks in both the Ontario and Quebec Education Ministries. The mass boycott is the first of its kind in Ottawa U.‘s tranquil history of student uprisings. At an emergency meeting last Thursday, 80 per cent of the 700 students present voted to walk out the next day, and to hold study sessions on Monday. The main dissatisfaction centres around a policy that forbids Quebecois students from receiving loans from the Quebec government if they attend an Ontario university. In return, the Ontariogovernment refuses to grant loans to Quebec students. Thirty per cent of Ottawa U.‘s student population is Quebecois. There has been a general cutback of student loans in Quebec and Ontario this year and students haven’t been receiving their checks regularly since the beginning of the year, supposedly because of .a faulty computer system: Serge

Gauthier, finance director for the Student Federation of Ottawa University said that the computers are being used as an excuse, and that “the government is making cutbacks in education, and student loans are being directly affected.” Though relief funds were promised by the government to help out students who weren’t getting their checks, these funds have not materialized for Ottawa U. students. . Half of Ottawa U.‘s student population is affected by the loan cutbacks. The most immediate problem, that of getting funds for the 2,700 Quebecois students is being presented to the Ontario Federation of Students, which represents all the universities in Ontario. A petition circulated to these universities has been well received, but the student organizers at Ottawa U. are not very hopeful that a satisfactory settlement with the government can be hammered out within the next few weeks. -joan

the matter, any action on the part of senate would be ‘ ‘extraordinarily premature”. Meanwhile, Faculty Association president Mike McDonald said last Wednesday that “all interest parties” in the Renison College disupte have been invited “to make written or oral submissions” on the matter to the association’s tenure committee. The deadline for written submissions was yesterday while oral presentations can be delivered by 5 p.m. today. “Four people asked the association to look into the matter” and the committee will establish whether these people’s complaints are “justified” 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 McDonald 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 was informed Oct. 3 1, that he, would be dismissed at the end of this year; social science Prof. Jeffery Forest who was told his probationary contract was not being renewed after next April; UW human relations Prof. Marsha Forest who had been team-teaching with her husband, was told she had no offi- ’ cial approval to do so and was barred from taking part in any college acti,vities after Dec. 20; and women’s studies Prof. Marlene :- COntiWed on page 6

busting EDMONTON (CUP)-An American firm is running union busting schools in Alberta and organized labour is not very happy about it. the firm, Southern Employers Service Corporation (SESCO) of Tennessee, conducted seminars for businessmen in Edmonton on November 26 and in Calgary Nov. 27 on, ‘ ‘retaining a union free business.” The seminars are being hosted by Central Personnel Services Ltd. (CPS), an Edmonton based firm specializirig in providing office workers for local businesses. Promotional literatu.re distributed by CPS said, “the seminar will show you, as an employer, how ’ to legally-challenge the ‘organizers’ and make their actions difficult and expensive.. . “You will be presented point by point.. .with a clear logical plan . . .that has enabled businesses to meet head on with attempts of union domination, and win! . . .If ydu want union free management, attend this seminar.” _ The material also stressed “the fact that some provincial legislation, including Alberta’s . . .still leaves room for democratic processes. . . means you don’t have to have a labour union in your operation.”

The school of social work was shut down because it was the department with the+biggest budget in the arts faculty. People in the department denounced the cutbacks and the fact that they weren’t consulted by the administration before the proposal was made public. The cutbacks drew protests from all corners of the province-300 supporters from social work departments at McGill, the University of Montreal, and Lava1 recently gathered at Sherbrooke in a show of solidarity. l

SHERBROOKE (CUP)-The department of social work at the University of Sherbrooke is to be closed down completely in two years as a result of severe budget cuts ordered by the Quebec govemment. Cuts in teaching services, research, various faculties and building maintenance were also announced. On Nov. 25, students, professors and maintenance workers at the university showed their discontent with the proposals by walking out. Representatives of the university were sent to Quebec City in an attempt to meet with education minister Francois Cloutier to voice their objections to the cutbacks.

W$h 10,000 students, 550 professors and 2,000 permanent employees, the university is one of the biggest employers in Sherbrooke and the Eastern Townships. ’ Investments in the university have totalled $97 million since its founding. The university has always gone over budget, and it now faces an accumulated deficit of $8 . million. In a drastic measure, the Quebec government demanded that the university cut next year’s proposed budget by $800,000. The administration wanted the arts faculty cut down by $200,000, and decided to cut a whole depart-

Charges have been made that the university is completely dominated by- the government, and that the Sherbrooke administration responded to the government’s wishes without considering the needs of the students. Some analysts have said that the budget cuts wouldn’t be necessary if the government worked out a better distribution of university grants, and admitted that its budget calculations are often unrealistic. The department of social work at Sherbrooke is the only one in North America that offers a cooperative programme in French for people who are working and want to continue their studies. The department ,was also planning to offer a doctorate programme in Quebec, rather than forcing students to study in Toronto or the United States.

US law -..

-Sttident$ can look at files /

MONTREAL (CUP)-Colleges and universities throughout the United States are adopting strategies ranging from the destruction ofdocuments to congressional lobbying in order to escape the consequences of legislation that would give students complete access to their personal files. . The law, which became effective last week, denies federal funds to any school that refuses to allow parents, or students over 18, to examine their file. It also requires the . SCh 001s to correct errors found in the file, and prevents the dissemination of the information, in the file without the permission of the individual. Most Canadian universities do not allow students access to personal files. For example, students at Loyola campus of Concordia University do not have the right to examine their complete file to’ check its accuracy, as certain parts of it are classed as confidential by the records office. Loyola’s records office claim that this is necessary because some of the material, such as letters of recommendation, was intended to be confidential when it was put in . _ the file. American‘ universities are also using this defence, and claiming that people will no longer be willing tdwrite candid- letters of recommendation. Some officials say this will lead to a greater reliance upon quantitive data, such ,as test scores and high school marks, as the criteria for admission to univer- 4 sity . r Colleges and universities, in America are working to have the - implementation of the legislation ’ postponed to give them time to lobby for changes in the bill. Many have publicly expressed A their dissatisfaction, and others are working more actively for a delay. The University of Chicago has sent two faculty members to Washington to lobby against the bill. Most ‘institutions seem to be ‘working on the assumption that they will win a postponement, but contingency plans have Lbeen prepared by some colleges. “If postponement does& work out, then we will immediately turn to legal counsel,” said Kelsey Murdoch, assistant to the president at Brown University4 University officials are claiming that the bill was aimed at lower levels of education, where abuses of the individual’s right to privacy have been more frequent. Elementary and high schools have been known to make files containing unsubstantiated allegations about the student and his family available to outside agencies, while keeping the information secret from the student and his parents.

- --Heckling

However, a spokesperson for James Buckley, the, Conservatitre-Republican senator- who sponsored the law has denied-this. “It was our initial thought that all educational institutions receiving federal funds should have this condition for receiving aid,“‘he said. Student groups in the U.S. have supported the move to open files. The Student American Medical Association “has complained bitterly about the excessive- power that the professors in medical school have. The professors can make unfavourable comments in the students records, but the students don’t know it and don’t know what they are doing wrong,” the spokesperson said. While some senators have indicated that they will introduce legislation to have the implementation of the bill postponed, Buckley has said he will not accept any delay, although he is planning to clarify some aspects of the bill with amendments. He has indicated that it may be possible to allow students to waive their right to see such documents as letters of recomm-endation, al; though he is wary of the danger of blanket waivers that would destroy the intent of the law. The impact of the bill, which has been described as “the enactment of long overdue civil rights” is having a great deal of impact in the U.S. -Harvard University _has begun to remove confidential letters from the files of 16,000 students, arid Yale has said they are waiting for a court test of the law before giving students access to the”letters of recommendation. The United Federation of Teachers has supported the need for the bill, but complained of problems in implementing it. They are particularly concerned with the problem of judging any claims that the material is inaccurate. “If a professor’s evaluation, filed with the student’s department, says that the student shows little creativity in his written work, must the institution offer a hearing on the issue of the student’s creativity?” asks Albert Shanker, president of the United Federation of Teachers. Buckley -has’ blamed the department of health, education, and welfare for this problem, saying they have refused to fulfil1 their obligation to draft the guidelines for use s of the law. In the past Loyola’s records office has justified the secret files by saying they operated according to policies drafted by the American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers: It is not know if they will change in their practice if the law becomes accepted in the U.S. ’ .-

TORONTO (CUP)-Anthropologists tend to impose their own cultural beliefs on societies they study according to Marxist anthropologist Elanor Burke -Leacock. . She was speaking last, week to students at the University of Toronto and most-of her remarks were concerned with how anthropologists have downplayed the role of women in many societies. ,-In the early 1950’s Leacock had livedwith the : MantagnaisNescapi, a hunting and gathedng society in Labrador and Quebec. It was her experience there that first interested Leacock in investigating the role of women inL early social systems. She said anthropologists had imposed on many cultures the ideas of the family system, male supremacy and the role of dominance in a culture. Leacock believes this attitude stems from the assumption that human society is based upon authority and domination This is an essentially fascist theory, she maintained. 1 When the Nescapi were first “discovered’-‘-* by the French in the 1600’s Jesuit priests were sent to “civilize”‘the natives.-At that time

WYASHINGTON (CUP-ZNS)A leading assassination researcher released this week the verbatim transcript of a ‘?top secret” nieeting of the Warren commission in which the commissioners discussed reports that Lee Harvey Oswald was, in fact, a paid informerfor the-FBI when President Kennedy was assassinated. The transcript has been locked up-in the National Archives for the past decade. It had been obtained and was made public by investigator Harold Weisberg on November 22, the 11th anniversary of JFK’s death: The 90-page document contains the remarks of Warren commissioners who were summoned to a special, emergency meeting in Washington on the night of January , 27, 1964 to discuss what-they \ termed “disturbing” reports the / commission had received. Chief justice Earl Warren discussed with other members of the commission reports from police of‘Iicials in Texas that Oswald-the alleged “lone assassin’ ‘-had secretly been receiving s-200 a month in payments from the FBI to act as an undercover informer? In addition, Texas state officials reported they had uncovered evidence that Oswald had been assigned the undercover number of S- 172 or S- 179 ’ by his FBI contacts. The sources of these “disturbing -reports’ ’ , commissioners were told, were Texas newsman Lonnie Hudkins, Allen Sweat& the chief criminal deputy sheriff of Dallas, and Bill Alexander, the then assistant district attorney in Dallas. The newly-released transcripts show that the commissioners discussed possible methods of investigating the Oswald report, with most of the members suggesting that J. Edgar Hoover be asked point blank whether Oswald had ever been working for the bureau. .However, one commissioner, I- UI Allen Dulles, the former head of the CIA, who was fired by Kennedy, told his fellow commissioners: “I think under circumany stances.. .Mr. Hoover would say certainly he didn’t have anything to do with this fellow. ” the Nescapi society was based on egalitarian and communal exisThe commissioners finally detence, but the Jesuits’ process of cided that the only way to prove or ‘ ‘civilization’ ’ , Leacock said, was disprove the report would be to to change the basicnature of their summon the alleged sources system into one of domination by -newsman Hudkins, deputy certain groups over others.

” U.S. layoffs

Womenfight i seniority Ottawa (CUP)-Among the many gains won by U.S. labor’s big offensive in the 1930’s was the all important seniority right. Hammered into virtually every unionmanagement contract for the last four decades, the provision has assured that when layoffs were to be made, the decision as to who to fire was out of the hands of the employer . Much as he might like to get rid\of militant workers or older wageslaves whose pace had slowed, he was bound by the seemingly just rule: “last hired, first fired<” \ But recent massive layoffs in nearly every industry, coupled with the rising consciousness and militance of women and oppressed nationalities are now leading to challenges against some discriminatory aspects of the seniority system. The “last hired, first fired” provision must be modified, it is being said, so that it does not act to help perpetuate capitalism’s inherent use,of women and minorities as a reserve army of labor. Whether to modify seniority rules and how to do it is a debate now raging among workers, in the courts where contradictory rulings have been handed down, among unions and employers who have generally united in opposition to changing seniority rules. In some ways, the debate is a replay of the arguments that have arisen in the last 10 years as women and minority workers pressed companies to implement “affirmative action” plans, and took employers to court if they didn’t. . While ’ most union bureaucrats discrimination” if cried “reverse companies hired women and minorities over supposedly “more qualified” w-hite males, most workers, particularly women and minorities, agreed that modification ,of general hiring procedures was necessary in order to correct-to however slight a degree -some longstanding wrongs. ’ ’ Out of the struggle, the Labor Department, the Civil Rights Office, .the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and the courts were forced to draw up sets of guidelines andrules for preferential hiring, upgrading, training and transfer of women and minority workers. As a result of ‘the current economic crisis, these same institutions are now being forced to consider modification of “affirmative action” in a hitherto untouched area: layoffs. The debate on “preferential layoffsV, which has only recently begun, is a result of suits filed by fired minority and women workers. Four suits filed to date have brought about contradictory rulings. Black workers in Harvey, La., filed the first such suit. In 1971 the Continental Can Co. hired 400 workers including 50 Blacks. Re* cently, however, the company fired all but 15 1 workers, among Afrowhom are only two Americans.

Layoffs illegal The fired their case to District Court ruled thatthe layoffs were

Black workers took court, where Federal Judge Fred Cassibry seniority-based illegal. He ruled that

they penalized the Blacks for their low seniority when the company was at fault because of its past refusal to hire Blacks. He ordered reinstatement and back ‘pay for seven Blacks according to a formula that would maintain their steady percentage re’presentation in the work force. Cassibry also prohibited the company from firing any more workers during the reinstatement and ordered a kind ‘of shared-work plan. He required that “Available work shall be allocated among the entire workforce, including the persons reinstated, until normal attrition or expansion of production brings the size of the workforce to its most efficient level. ’ ’ Both the company and the union, Local 2369 of the United Steelworkers, are appealing , the ruling. Another suit, filed in Wisconsin was settled in short shrift in favor of the status quo. In a case involving the Wisconsin Steel Works of International Harvester Co. and the Bricklayers union, the Seventh Circuit Court ruled last August that the seniority system “is not of itself racially discriminatory. ’’ To change this system, the court be tantamount to said, “would shackling white employees with a burden of a past discrimination created not by them but by their employer. ’ ’ The ruling said in effect there is nothing that can be done to remedy discrimination. A third suit now getting wide publicity also- involves Black workers. In September the Jersey Central Power & Light Company wanted to lay off 400 workers, most of whom would be Black if the seniority clause was adhered to. The company asked a federal court to decide which of two contracts took precedence: the one wit,h seven locals of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Work-. ers, with its seniority clause; or the one signed with the EEOC last December in which the utility was forced to hire up to 15 percent minorities and women in its total workforce. Avoiding the question of whether the union contract was discriminatory, the judge told, the company “to work something out” so as not to “frustrate” the contract with the EEOC. Again, the union sided with the company, and the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Philadelphia was scheduled to hear the case last week. One of the most explosive suits was filed recently against the General Motors plant in Fremont, California. When the company fired 1500 workers including 500 women (nearly every woman in the plant) last March, the women went to federal court. The women declared in a leaflet they passed out at the plant: “We are basing our suit on the fact that no women were hired at the Fremont plant until 1968. We feel that this. was in violation of the 1964 Civil Rights Act. We don’t think we should have to suffer for GM’s failure to hire women when they should have. ’ ’ The women claim they were thus illegally deprived of the possibility of ‘gaining nearly four additional , years of seniority. The women suggested a shared-work programme such as reduced workday for all the workers : “We want GM to implement continued

On the eastern front, a group calling itself the ‘ ‘Eastern Revolt” attempted to assassinate Neto, presidentof the MPLA, and failing this tried to have President Kaunda of Zambia close the border toNeto’s movements. From Congo, Brazzaville another group split away from the MPLA. Calhng itself the Active Revolt, its leaders are intellectuals and Angolans who had been away from the independence.struggle. Their main critic&m concerned the influence of Dr. Neto as leader of the anti-colonial struggle. Numbering about seventy, and agreeing with the MPLA platform their support within’ Angola is non-existent while their status is of little importance within the Orga.&ation for African Unity. ’ Following the Sept. 3 accord, reuniting the “revolts” within the main . body of the MPLA, a further move took place. . After the signing which gave the leaders of each revolt the position of vice president, Chipenda, leader of the eastern revolt went to Kinshasa and has remained there since. He has refused to attend any of the steering committee level meetings and has now changed his headquarters from Lusaka to the Zaire capital. On the other hand, Pinto de Andrade has gone to the steering committee but refuses to enter Angola. Asking him, why he did not want to go to Angola, he replied, “I fear for my life”. Not doubting his words, I added that it would seem that his actions which came at a very crucial time were less than patriotic in view that his main argument was leadership and not the problems dealing with independence. I asked; what about the six million people living in Angola (of which more than % are illiterate)? “Democracy is the important argument” was his answer. Someday the people for whom the fourteen year struggle was fought will have their moment and elements who proved constructive will be given support while others wiIl be judged accordingly.

Mineral wealth and oil are in abundance while annual revenue on invested capital is about forty percent. All facts indicate a long struggle, having many overtones reminiscent of the Belgian Congo days of the 1960’s, but more so because of the important economic wealth. Angola’s people who have suffered for 500 years will not settle for a slice of bread. Their objective is ownership of the bakery with all its accessories., In what time framework will the colonial policy makers allow this nation independence and allow historv to follow its course? Or w 11this be a suicide mission by the colonizer and those wanting a neo-co 1onial situation?

. Sweet tooth hinders fitness If your feet drag at the end of the day your sweet tooth may.be at the root of the problem. That’s the word from the University of Montreal where a year-long study found a 63 per cent improvement in performances of hockey players on a sugar free diet for a few months. The groups of players on regular sugar and increasing sugar diets, the ’ study found, “ saw their ability to play drop to the level of incompetence as more and more gum and chocolate was added to their diets. “Pep talks and putdowns by the other teams’ members were insufficient to restore the original level of performance.”

The control group was free to consume candy and chocolate bars, while the rest of the team was split into a sugar-free group and a test group given increasing sugar diets over an eight-month period. . The report found each youth on the sugar diet “had a severely weakened metabolism and was physically inferior to the rest of the team. “Digestion of sugar or sugar substitutes in the candy robbed the body of its energy at the time the game called for maximum ability. “Concentration, resistance and physical strength dropped surprisingly, even for small amounts of sugar ingested.”

THUNDER BAY (CUP&The permanet closing of Lakehead University because of poor government financing is a distinct possibly, according to a televised statement made by university president, Andrew Booth. The university faces a deficit of $lOO-$200,000 i&its operating budget, this fiscal year which will climb to $2 million next year, because all of the university’s surplus holdings will be exhausted, warned Booth. He estimated that at least half of the university’s faculty and related personnel would have to be released if more money could not be raised, but said he would rather see the university closed first. He was responding to the Nov. 18 statement from the Minister of Colleges and Universities James Auld, in which it was announced that an increase of 16.9 per cent in operating funds for universities will be granted in 1975-76 but because of increased enrollme&s and other factors the real increase is only 7.4 per cent. Booth believes that the money Lakehead does receive will be inadequate. Part of Auld’s statement reads, “the matter of distribution will be determined on the advice of.. : the Ontario Council of University Affairs .” The Ministry does not permit institutions to deficit finance. The university will follow a policy of “not filling certain positions as they become vacant.” Commenting on the possible closure of the university, vice-president external affairs for the Lakehead University Student Union Dawn Hasand the administration have seen this sett, said, “the board of governors coming for a long time. But they haven’t been very effective in dealing with it.” “What Lakehead needs is special consideration and operating grants for its role as a regional education centre,” continued Hassett. “The Davis government has been cheating the people of this region far‘too long.” Hassett said she plans to contact the Ontario Federation of Students and the National Union of Students for support in putting pressure on the Ontario government to reconsider its financing for Lakehead University. “It is good to know that we are not alone now this haScome up,” she said, “regional isolation can be a real problem in a situation like this.”

LISBON (CUPI)-European press report5 are uncdvering increasing evidence of CIA involvement in.Portugal. Since the April 25 coup-which overthrew the fascist dictatorship of Marcello Caetano, replacing it with a leftist coalition-the CIA has intensified its activities there;and the implication is thatit intends a repeat of events in Chile. According to the Portuguese weekly VidaMundial, the, U.S. embassy in Lisbon has tripled its personnel since July, 1974. In addition, the assistant director of the CIA general Vermon Walters, has visited Portugal twice since the April coup. His first visit was in May and his second in Sep: tember when he helped prepare for the abortive right wing counter-coup of . September 28. During his visits he established contacts and held meetings with military, political and business representatives. On Sept. 26, only two days before the unsuccessful coup, a member of the political bureau of the U.S. embassy, James Hermann, was arrested in Lisbon for “inciting workers to strike” at the Portuguese nation@ airline (TAP). (The political bureau of the 1I.S. embassy has the official job of informing the American government about events in Portugal). Demonstrations on the island of Madeira (500 miles southwest of Portugal) ri3cently forced the CIA ship Apollo to leave the port of Funchal, the capital of the Portuguese island. According to press reports .which first appeared in Le Monde Diplomatiqtie, the Apollo is being used by the CIA as its base of operations in Spain and Portugal. This same ship, which was anchored in the port of Lisbon on April 25, was also used in the overthrow of the Popular Unity government in Chile on Sept. 11, 1973 and was sta.#ioned in Greece when the fascist Greek gbvernment resigned during the Cyprus conflict earlier this year. ’ The SpaniSh daily, Nuevo Diario, announced on Oct. 16 that a fascist “government in exile” made up of former Portuguese secret service agents. police officers and industrialists. was formed in Madrid. The group calls itself “the silent majority in exile.“. l

(On ]anuary 75-7 7 a conference en titled: “Conflict Resolution: A Symposium on Nonviolence”, will be staged at the Un‘iversity of Waterloo. The event is being sponsored jointly by Conrad Crebel College and the Federation of dents. The following article represents a discussion among three of the organizers of the symposium: Don Blair, Dean Peachey, and R alph Torrie. They begin by responding to some COMmon queries.)

Stu-

D.P.: Name some specific examples of the kind of violence you are talking about. D.B.: One thing that is obvious at the University of Waterloo is the intense competition and rivalry between various departments and faculties. For example the open hostility and stereotyping that goes on between arts and engineering students. Violence doesn’t have,to be physical.; ‘it can be .emotional or psychological, and these interfaculty rivalries are, in that sense, definite forms of violence. - ’ D.P.: All ’ of us are extremely violent in our everyday consumption. We need to face the reality that we consume many times our share of the world’s resources. .We have to accept the fact that our standard of living is at least a partial cause of the suffering and poverty of others. Our industries thrive on the cheap materials and labour of underdeveloped countries. We want to question, in this symposium, the popular assumption that power is derived from violence and can be controlled only by a greater violence, when actually power comes from many sources in society and cali easily and very effectively be restrict’ed simply by the withdrawal of co-operation by the population. There are a lot of specific techniques that, can be used that aren’t violent such as protest and persuasion, noncooperation-either in a social or lpolitical realm-and nonviolent intervention.

D.P.: What prompts y’ou to plan a conference on nonviolence? R.T.:

Violence.

D.P.:

R.T.:

Ours.

violence?

’

D.P.: Are you suggesting’that we, as university students, are violent? R.T.: Yes. We’re saying that perhaps there’s a lot more violence that we are a part of in our daily lives and through our political and social institutions than we usually realize. We’re saying that maybe 7 its time we stepped back and take a loo,k at some alternatives and investigate the possibility that maybe we have a society that is built on a cult of violence. Maybe there are some alternatives that have been presented by people like Gandhi and Martin Luther King that we ’ should be looking at more closely.

’

D.B.: People often think that its the military, or the police ,-or political institutions, or this company, or that organization, that is violent; and it gets passed off on some structure. Too often we get away from the basic fact that it is people within that structure who cause and allow that organization to be violent. University students are people. They have violent tendencies which, as they become part of groups in society, will express themselves through tho’se structures.

Nonviolence has traditionally been associated withspassivity and cowardice, but that isn’t what we are talking about. Often nonviolence is the most difficult route to take. Often the quickest impulse and the most obvious and easiest ‘thing to do is to set yourself out to screw the other guy; and finding some lasting solution to the conflict is often the more difficult and complicated task. R.T.: We think the time for this symposium has arrived, and that it is time people started looking to the future with a more positive outlook. Peogle’ar6 in the mood now where they are looking for positive and practical alternatives for the fu-

ture of world affairs. There has been too much in the way of deterministic and pessimistic opinions in the last few years and we’re saying: “O.K., lets look at nonviolence as a viable alternative”. That is what we are going to do in January with this symposium. We would like to talk about the tendency of our westerri culture to automatically respond to any problem with force and violence, and then present some positive alternatives.

wealth of really practical organizing experience in community action, as well as having a deep religious commitment toXnonviolence. On this campus there are many faculty members working in various areas of study such as environmental studies, sociology, religious studies, and psychology, who will also be contributing to the symposium. D.P.: We will begin the symposium with the larger issues of international politics and the munitions industry, and gradually narrow down to our, nationalism, our racism,’ and the immediate environment we live in and simple everyday interpersonal conflict. The last day of the symposium will be devoted to work shops for persons who are seriously interested in pursuing skills in organizigg nonviolent action-not just in the politi&l sens(: of the word, but also in organizing their owri lives in a nonviolent fashion.

D.B.: There are many significant historical examples from the in&national level to the interpersonal level where nonviolent means of dealing with conflict have prover7 more successful than violent means.

You’re never \ snowed under

R.T.: One of the key note speakers will be Gene Sharp from Harvard, who has spent his life researching these historical examples of nonviolence. Here is a guy who is the world% leading authority on, nonviolent campaigns for social and political change and the use of nonviolence in resistance movements. He will be talking about nonviolent techniques of organizing political action that are more effective and less expensive than violent means. He doesn’t ask people to hold a pacifist viewpoint, he just asks them to be practical. W.e are also bringing in Jim Lawson from Los Angeles. He worked very closely with Martin Luther King in his nonviolent campaign ,against racism. Lawson has a

were becoming distasteful to the leaders of the April overthrow. The MPLA knew as early ag\August 20 that Spinola had to be replaced. The question was one of what events would lead to the confrontation between the progressive and reactionary forces. On Friday, Sept. 14, General Mobutu flew to the Cape Verde Islands for a meeting with General Spinola. The secret rendez-vous was not approved by the “OAU”, and upon his return on Saturday, African criticism of the talks began. \The president of Gabon posed this question, “General Mobutu, who sanctioned you to discuss the Angola decolonization?” Mobutu’s first answer was that the three other heads of states, Nyerere, Ngouabi, and Kuanda had sanctioned him. This was in reference to the agreements reached on Angola at the sixteen Heads of States meeting on Brazzaville during the last days of August and early September. Obviously this is a bad answer. He changed his story to, “as the head of state for Zaire, I accepted an invitation to discuss with General Spinola matters of mutual concern”. No doubt their biggest purpose was the Angola question. I The following Wednesday, Sept. &-General Spinola announced that he would personally take over negotiations of decolonization as regards to Angola. Having taken away from the Armed Forces the decolonization process which had been under the foreign affairs office, General Spinola had violated his position as spokesman and Head of State for the Armed Forces who had carried out the overthrow of the Caetano Regime. Confrontation was now imminent. On Thursday, Sept. 19, a secret trip was arranged by members of FRA, and the Angolan business community to Portugal. General Spinola asks for a mass demonstration by the “silent majority” for support for his new orientation. Claiming that the armed forces had violated the April 25 movement, he calls for a Saturday meeting in the centre of Lisbon. In Angola, the armed forces are on alert and as events in Portugal unfold FRA and other organizations begin to move in Luanda. By 11 a.m. Saturday, the 21 Sept., some 200 Portuguese residents are stopped at the outskirts of Lisbon. They are arrested for possession of arms and among these men, is the son of deposed President Caetano, and former PIDE agents. In Angola over a hundred people are arrested on similar charges. An attempted military coup had been foiled. Spinola was forced to call off the mass demonstration. He had played out his long term interest. Resigning on Sunday, General Spinola retires to the history books as i Head of State, but not from activity.

Since the overthrow of Caetano in April most political prisoners were released.

In July, at the prison of Sao Nicolau in the district of Mocamedes, this famous prison also known as death camp was reopened. During the last three months more than one thousand Angolans were arrested under preventative detention without trial.

Fifty trucks stolen Sometime during the last two weeks of August a well planned and executed theft of 50 land rovers took plsce. They were stolen from the Junta Autonoma de Estrada in the southern part of Angola. Therefore, quick transportation is now available to the FRA for a co-ordinated effort toward a minority take-over. The stolen fleet has not yet been recovered to this date. Not a word has been written in the Angola Portuguese Press concerning it. Eventually they will turn up and no doubt in paramilitary activities.

Insisting on more personal control and issuing personal decrees; the attitudes of Spinola

ore corruption There are important facts to be known about the FNLA. Kinshasa has been divided into 24 zones by General Mobutu in order to ensure a firmer control over the nearly 300,000 Angolan refugees in Zaire, most of whom live in Kinshasa. Holden has divided the capital into 48 zones. Each zone has five FNLA representatives who are in charge of recruitment, taxation collection for Angolans living in Zaire, and thirdly the imprisonment of non FNLA sympathizers particularly members of the MPLA. An added note here is that recruitment by FNLA is based on forced removal from one’s home while MPLA’s recruitment is based on an anti colonial and patriotic program. The monthly taxation of Angolans living in Zaire is as follows: business men must pay $600.00 while salaried women and boys over fifteen turn over $20.00. Salaried men pay $40.00. Artisans are required to pay $4.00. Each member of the zone also turns over $100.00 a month. In order to pay these expensive taxes, command members must steal radios, clothing and money and in most instances this is done during the tax collection.

All in the family

Since the April 25 coup, the Front for the National Liberation of Angola (FNLA) has had considerable difficulties as well as assistance. Due to their near non-existence as a liberation movement working in Angola, it became apparent that Holden Roberto, President of FNLA, had to, plan a military strategy in order to have his group recognized as one of the parties for the negotiations of Angola’ s independence. In order to appear as a viable military force, hasty decisions, without much thought of their consequences, would be taken. At all cost he had to build an army. Following the principals of Zaire’s armed forces, Roberto set out to establish a 7,000 man army. Promoting at best, night watchman to the rank of majors, and generals, military strategies were based on “hiking trips” and regionalism. Most. of the newly established military leaders being related to Holden began enjoying the fruits of a well-paid and undisciplined army. Many expeditions were planned against the Portuguese army, but all were doomed to failure. On July 4, Holden Roberto sends into Angola 1,500 guerrillas. Being thrown into a war, with little experience, these forced recruits will suffer humiliation and many will die. Following the Portuguese roads, and upon completing 40, km with little water and no food these hungry men decided to stop and shoot a few gazelles. Their hunger is great, and accompanied by the violation of guerilla tactics (no fires during the daylight hours), they prepare to feast. As the war is not ended, the Portuguese commandos observe the smoke and prepare for another search and destroy mission. Walking in the bush, the Portuguese army surprised these 1,500 men on the Mama Rosa plantation. Within 15 minutes, 32 were dead, and 804 captured. The others were able to flee. These men realize how manipulated they had been. They were angry and are now returning towards the Zaire border. On the road back to Zaire, the Portuguese port of LUFU was attacked by the FNLA, 10 more Angolan soldiers die. There is a second complication, a secret agreement has been violated. Mobutu and the Portuguese have agreed that no Portuguese or FNLA attack will take place within 30 m from inside Angola, to the Zaire border. It is for this reason that LUVU was attacked. On Sept. 1, FNLA fell in an

FNLA is based in Zaire and for very good reasons. Holden Roberto, leader of the FNLA is ’ based in Kinshasa. General Mobutu is Holden Roberto’s brother-in-law. A well known representative (of Washington’s interests) in southern Africa and the CIA’s man, General Mobutu supports the FNLA and on the diplomatic front, and is the main spokesman for the Zaire based liberation movemerit. In order to assure comfort to his immediate family, Mobutu gives Holden $40,000 a month. In return, Holden follows the Zaire military structure. The FNLA army is based on the traditional concept of the United States army. Following Mobutu’s political philosophy (one ‘should read Prof. lhome’s expose: L’asension, du Mobutu), of authenticity, * (and now the personality cult of Mobutuism), Holden obliges the Angolans to perform traditional dances. The development of a copy of Zaire’s government is being followed by FNLA. Holden’s brother who is a pharmacist, is responsible for the medical care in FNLA’s camps. Living in Kinshasa, he travels daily (except Sunday) to the military camps, arriving at 10:00 a.m. and leaving at 5:00 p.m. His consultation fee is $4.00 and the medical goods, many of these given by philanthropic groups, are sold to the needy. Profits go into the pocket of the director of the FNLA pharmacy. This is quite a contrast to the free medical service given to the people living in Angola by the MPLA. Born at Pointe Noire in the Congo, with no living experience in Luanda, Holden represents western interests and has had a long association with the CIA. Speaking good English and little Portuguese, Holden is more interested in the trading aspects of the Angolan economy as opposed to the leadership of this new country. Present members of the FNLA can leave the army to enter Angola and begin a business. Before leaving, a lo-year contract is demanded from the leaver by Holden, obliging the ex-FNLA member to ensure that all transportation connected with his new busi ness will be done by Holden’s trucks, which now dc all of the road commerce between Angola and Zaire. Events in Angola since the April coup are very similar to those of the Belgian Congo days. Dividing the major anti-colonial force of Angola the MPLA. and the founding of political parties based on re. _ gionalism, tribalism or economic strength, has led tc a near repeat of history. In Cabinda a group calling itself the Front for the Liberation of the Enclave of Cabinda (FLEC) ha: appeared. Having its headquarters in Kinshasa. Zaire., the FLEC is a separatist movement whose purpose is to make Cabinda a separate state. Financed by. the oil industries from the USA and France, FLEC leaders are white Angolans of Portuguese descent; they have connections with a few of the well to do black Angolan businessmen. In early September, FLEC received 17 millior francs and 12 trucks from the Campagnie Francaise de P&role. They are still on the docks at Points Noire. FLEC wanted these vehicles in Angola and to do so, would have had to cross from the Congo tc the Portuguese port of Miconge. MPLA was we1 aware of this and were waiting for the trucks to bc transferred. No doubt these were part of the equip. ment which could be-used in a military coup. Event: of Saturday Nov. 2 showed that a coup had beer planned, attempted and aborted. FLEC continues tc emit radio programmes from RaPio Kinshasa calling for a separate state. continued

A Requiemfor the Moody Blues \And th&Days of Future Passed --

They ccould sell a million

records in 12‘ hours. Then something

went wrong.

Drawm

bv Cathv Hull .-

“We’d like to mean as much to the history of music as Beethoven,” announced Graeme Edge, drummer and spokesman of the celebrated five-man rock group the Moody Blues. “i&/e believe we’re on the threshold of the greatest revolution in .~ - sound.” A pop pipe dream? Evidently so. For that was Edge speaking last January when the Moody Blues, having enjoyed their 12th anniversary together, were supervising the construction of a million-and-a-half-dollar recording studio near London, possibly the ’ most sophisticated’ studio of its kind in the world. And Edge spoke for a group-of musicians then confident that their elaborate equipment would provide them with. the means to make their eighth album a Beethovenian masterpiece. But that album was never made. And today, the superstudio is empty, the Moodies have split up, and instead of the eighth album we have qe recently released two-record requiem of the greatest of their hits of the past entitled “This is the Moody Blues”. This album at least deserves praise for being a thoughtful and well-integrated in memoriam. The sole original song in the collection,. “Simple Game,” may be the group’s eulogy to its own-career. Already it has won an English award for songwriting. A straight-forward declaration of independence composed by group member Mike Pinder, “Simple Game” emphasizes the word free: “As time goes by, you will see that we are going to be free.” What went wrong3 To find the answer we’ll have to go back to rock’s “Golden Age,” the mid-sixties when the Beatles and the Rolling

Stones wore the crowns of rock royalty In those days the Moody Blues ranked only third, and were the Lancelots who never attempted to challenge the position of number one or numbertwo. (“We actually hired press agents to turn away reporters”.) Instead they concentrated their energies on composing, recording and inventing electronic instruments. Yet the group tasted its share of popular success and recognition. By 1969, the Moodies had earned approximately $20 million. They became the first rock group to re-a ceive an official invitation to perform in Red ‘China. In Australia, where only eight gold million-seller records ever have been issued, the Moody Blues hold five of them (the Beatles retain the other three). On the North American continent, they won the Maple Gold Leaf Award in Canada and the Playboy Magazine Jazz Poll. They were invited to the prestigious Eastmen School of Music in Rochester, N.Y., to lecture on electronic music, but unfortunately, had to turn the invitation down owing to concert commitments. Two concerts at Madison-Square Garden in November 1973 sold out 44,000 tickets just four hours after the box office opened. A similar speed record was set by their last album “Seventh Sojurn;” which sold a million copies just 12 hours after its release. In their native England, the Moody Blues are the home-steaders of rock music. Not only have they won Britain’s prestigious lvor Novello songwriting award, but they have become the Sol Huroks of their idiom by br-

inging rock music to the hinterlands of the British’ empire. They have opened a chain of small, hip record shops in rural villages throughout the country and inaugurated chamber rock concerts in which they play electronic music in a refined and intimate setting. Such success never spoiled the five musicians who composed the group: Graeme Edge, Justin Hayward, John Lodge, Mike Pinder and Ray Thomas. The literati of rock audiences recognized the Moody Blues as perhaps the most genuine musicians in the field. Not only did they compose, record and perform over 80 songs during their career (some of them became rock theme songs, such as “Nights In White Satin” and “I’m Just A Singer In A Rock And Roll Band”), but they also worked as inventors, applying their university education in engineering to stretch the range of their musical instruments electronically and expand the dimension of sound. “In our new studio,” Edge announced proudly to me last spring, “we will use the same tape mechanism that NASAdeveloped’ to shoot for the moon, an instrument that automatically set-off a 24 track relay of instructions for the astronauts to follow aboard the Apollo. This is the most perfect equipment today according to the sound experts who recommended that we purchase it directly from the Houston Mission Control Centre.” . Most studios are first designed- asrooms and then equipped with the best recording mechanisms, but this one is built specifically

1974

for recording. “It will be the first studio in the world designed as a complete, enormous instrument,” Edge said euphorically. “The room itself is constructed in an oval shape to absorb every sound frequency. In other words, there are no false echoes from sound waves hitting the walls and bouncing back.” The Moody Blues identify themselves with Beethoven because they believe that his compositions carry within them the sense of a culture in the throes of revolution. They point to Beethoven’s last Piano Sonata, Op. 111, where they feel the severely structured rules of classical form begin to anticipate the loose idiom of jazz. But if one chooses #o agree with,this view, the Moody Blues creative work actually shows us a Beethoven in reverse. Rather than loosening the structure of classical music, they .have disciplined the electronic chaos of rock into a format which approaches the classical design of theme and variations. Technically, they are credited with the development of the “concept album” in electronic music, a series of songs linked together by a directing theme and interspersed with musical and even poetical interludes. In their first successful album, “Days Of Future Passed” issued in 1967, they introduced a romantic Keatsian rock that included a three-stanza poetic interpretation of night: “Coldthearted orb that rules the night/Removes the colours from our sight,/Red is gray and yellow white.” Beginning with “Dawn,” the 13 compositions breezed through the chronology of a working day: “Morning,” “Lunch Break,” “Peak Hour,” “Forever Afternoon,” “Evening,” ‘Sunset,” “Twilight Times,” “Night”; the final song was the quasi-spiritual “Nights In White c Satin.” ‘, Originally the album was not conceived as a thematic unity. The songs were separate compositions. But the interaction of the five personalities -each /completely different -produced an intense and original interplay of mysticism, spiritualism, pragmatism and psychedlia which evolved into a philosophical and poetic sound that both intellectualized and softened the quality of rock in 1967. Next to, say, Spinoza, they were trivial. But compared to the drivel from the commercial rock bands, they were profound. They did not have, like the Beatles, the inexhaustible creative energy for experimental variation in style and form on thier albums. The Moody Blues maintained the same format and over-all sound in each of their seven albums, varying only the over-riding themes. But the instrumentation of their songs developed astonishingly over the years. Ten years ago, when the group began performing in their native Birmingham, England, two guitars, a bass and drums were the orthodox components of a hard rock sound. Today the Moody Blues have at their command a flute, saxophone, harmonica and the mellotron, an electronic keyboard instrument. “When you press a key like a piano,” Edge explains, “you push a. pinch roller pulling a tape cross a record head. It works’ something like a typewriter mechanism. Recorded on that tape could be any instrument. If you press a B flat when you are using a tape of violins, you hear a violin playing a B flat.” The mellotron allows a rock band to incorporate any instrument into its musical fabric. The device was introduced into the rock field in 1967 by Mike Pinder who had learned the complex mechanics of the instrument when he worked in a factory that constructed’mellotrons. “Sure other rock groups try to use the mellotron,” Edge admitted. “But it is a very sensitive instrument, and every time it is moved, it breaks down. Since Mike knows the inner workings, he can fix it easily. But he is experimenting with a sturdier instrument resembling the mellotron that will be more practical for other bands.” p Edge himself also has the inventor’s instinct. For the last few years he has been working on an electrical drum kit which would allow him to play’14 percussion instruments simultaneously. Although he programmed an electronic drum instrument which permitted this, the rigidity of. the apparatus defeated the musicial’s own impulses and feelings. “When I realized that the

electrical drum kit disallowed spontaneity, I had to scrap it,” Edge said sadly. “But I still have hopes of expanding the range of my drums on stage.” Two years ago, the group nurtured an ‘even higher hope. “We all realize now that if we just stay together, we have it made,” Edge’ explained then. “Not one of us is an outstanding musician, but each of us is good and solid. We do our homework, know our music, know what we are doing and know how to do it. After ten years of working together we understand each other when we’re on that stage. We instinctively respond to one> another’s timing now. That is when music hasa chance of becoming really original, when sets really take off. We are now free to explore the- great and unknown di-. mensions of rock music. Like Beethoven, we are free to reach b@yond. “Most groups split up before they achi& - the musicianship to realize rock’s potential as a serious musical form. But with our new recording studio, we have the best facilities in which to,create. It is within our grasp. And with this eighth album . . .” Earlier this year they attempted two group composition sessions on that eighth album. But curiously, both time?, the musicians had to quit. Each went his separate way. “We were all very aware-becoming more aware-that after ten years, it wasn’t working,” Edge. recalled almost inaudibly. “We were hoping we could make it through. But the pressures finally got to all of us.” Despite the desire to continue, the pressures of commercial musicianship eventually dissolved the creative union. “It’s the thing that the public does to you about having to be what you are. Thg public locks you into being a Moody Blues. And that means, no matter what, you have to play the group’s hits. It is a static repertoire for which audiences pay their $7.00 or $7.50 per concert, and, sure they are entitled to hear what they pay to hear. But I can’t express to you what that does inside the head of/the individual musician, if he is a serious musician. Because if you don’t play the Moody Blues things, I members of the audience are outraged.,They come up to you very irate and scream, ‘Why didn’t you play so and so tonight.’ In other words, why aren’t you being a Moody Blues? “And for a while, ‘its very enjoyable because it’s very safe and staid-a kind of infallible insurance,‘and the bread rolls in. But, at the same time, almost without realizing it, you almost cease to be a functioning active musician. You start becoming a sort of robot churning out the sari7e songs in the same styles. “You see, what we have is the old Moody Blues. But all of us have changed over ten years. Sure, we could have gone into the studio and schlepped out an album. And it probably would have sold on the strength of our reputation. We could have turned the Moody Blues into a vehicle to support us for the rest of our lives.” The official word from London is that each musician is gbing to be making his (own album. Edge already took the first step last August with a bouncy single entitled “We Like To Do It,” which barely made.the charts. His solo album, scheduled for release in October, still is being recorded. Ditto Justin Hayward and John Lodge, who are reportedly collaborating on an album. Mike Pinder has moved to Los Angeles where he is living on a commune and allegedly composing. Ray ThornaS still has not decided in which direction to turn. So instead of the magical eighth album which the group mutually heralded as the masterpiece of its career, a two-record requiem of 26 of the group’s greatest hits has just been released.FEdge still insists’that the 1 musicians are busy scheduling recording sessions, but no new sounds have been lavnched with the NASA equipment. Instead, the multimilliondollar recording studio is still only a monument to the promise of the music of tomorrow. ’

Heroes are -Hard -Fleetwood Mat

R eco David Live, the latest release-by rock visionary David Bowie is an excellent album for everyone,~from the people who have never really been into him, to the most devoted Bowie fan. This two record set, (recorded live at the Tower Theatre, Philadglphia), includes all of the biggest hits over Bowie’s career, (with a noted exception of Space Oddity), and obviously David’s favorite pieces also. The result is that we end up with a good overall view of the themes and ideas that have gone on to make him the man that we know today. It is an album that does justice to a man who has been considered by many people in the music business, and more imcortant by many many fans, a genius of rock’n’roll music, and perhaps the greatest influence on people since the Beatles. It is an album which does equal justice to tiis songs; in which he describes how one man sees the world, it’s inhabitants, the direction that they are taking, and equally as well how he sees his own journey along with these people as they head towards the world of 1984. To tie the album is a very fitting stqtement from a man who has never claimed to do anything more than play good rock’n’roll, and ,who has just asked us to rock’n’roll along with him, as is so well stated in the rock love story Rock’n’Roll With Me. ‘Yet Bowie has done much more than just put out good music for years. it was his breakthrough that allowed so many other, lesser talented, “omni-sexual”, bands to try and make their killing in h’ls wake. No one, in my mind however, has $ated with such sincerity the confusion and hassles brought on when a man finds himself, not to be a “real man.” David Live gives us, the progression of this theme from the early “Changes”, “Width Of A Circle”, aqd “Suffragette City”, to the newest, “Rebel Rebel”, where Bowie states, “You’ve got y&r mother in a whirl ‘cause, she’s not sure if you’re a boy or girl . . . Rebel’ rebel, you tore ybur dress, Rebel, rebel, your face is a mess, Rebel, rebel, how could they know, Hot tramp! I love you so!” On a less personal theme there are Bowie’s views of modern mankind and his visions of what is in store for us al! in the future. Again, this is a continuing theme throughout his career. The first cut, ‘1984, speaks for itself for most of us, and sets the tone for much of the four sides in this record set. Other selecfjons on this line include Moonage Daydream, Aladdin Sane, Diamond Dogs; and Big Brother. David Bowie has always been in control of his backup people, whether it was the now famous Spiders From Mars or his present band of almost totally new performers. The arrangements have ‘almost always been Bowie’s and Bowie’s alone, and they still continue to-be on this first live album that he has produced. Yet there is still a place for the special talents of each individual to come out, as can be seen on some incredible guitar and saxophone solos in songs like Moonage Daydream and Width Of A Circle: One of the most ‘important instruments in his command has always been David’s voice, and David Live proves it still to be one of his most versatile instruments. Perhaps the best example of voice control is on the song, “Sweet Thing”, a slow ballad that is drawn out to nearly nine m;,lutes on this live album. I must admit, however, that I will always prefer the shorter and a bit faster studio version of “Sweet Thing”, on the Diamond Dogs album. / A talent that is noticeably missing is that of Mick Ronson, the Spider who used to get down so well-and pull those great guitar &OS and power chords out of his instrument, re-

sulting in almost as much hysteria as when Bowie himself pranced the stage. I’didn’t miss Ronson as much on DiamondlDogs, due to the nature of studio recordings, but for those, who saw the Bowiel73 In Concert special you will probably feel the loss of those incredibly powerful and talented solos that Mick Ronson is so well known for. This loss of talent has certainly put inore focus on David, but I am not convinced that the tradeoff was ,worth it; Bowie hardly needs more attention than he had. Bowie had.put together atiother television special, The 1984 Floor Show, which was aired this past summer. It is interesting to compare these two shows that he put 6n T.V., for one has to wonder, first.of all whg Bowie retired in 1973, (at a point in his career when he Gas, unstoppable), why he proceeded to put out two of what are generally felt to be two of his least important albums, (Aladdin Sane and Pin Ups), why he-put togethe7 such a rough show as The 1984 Floor Show, and then-sneak up on us with perhaps the best &bum and the most together show th$ he has ever done; that being Diamond Dogs. The answer is, of murse, out of my reach, but more of the question I’m sure can be seen by the fact that Bowie switched from’hp wild, colourful, and often suggestive costumes, that he wore in concerts up ‘to 1973, to that costume of a slightly modified Zoot Suit, for his Diamond Dogs tour, and for the jacket of Pavid Live. His musi’c is as good as ever, but I see that his style, and his show have toned down a bit, so that David comes off looking a little- bit straighter and a. little bit more rehearsed in his act. It is probably the most complete production of rock theatrics that we have ever seen. His has been an interesting career considering the present outcome is ndw fairly weli defined. Who else has been at the very top of this field, almost died in a short year and a half and then raised himself back-up to an even higher level on the comeback. Perhaps leaving what seens to be Bowie’s favorite song, “Rock’n’Roll Sufcidey, untii the- very end of most of his productions will prove to be a bit more than appropriate at some future time. Bowie is due to release a new aibum fairly soon and from what I have read &bout it the style of this new one is hinted at in some cuts on David Live. It is the latin beat that we find -on cuts like “1984”, “Rebel Rebel” and many of the other cuts on this live set that will dominate David Bowie’s future music, at least until h’is talent takes him in another direction. ’ For the present, however, I don’t think it too much to show my own respect and admiration of David Bowie and to say that David Live is a brilliant effort on his part to give the studio versions of his pieces that feeling of “live” and ‘a bit mdre feeling of who t!e man behind them is. -bill mc crea

Find’

Fleetwood Mat have survived well in the Rock & Roll jungle, refining their own particular blend of smooth driving rhythm and penetrating vocals. Personnel changes have been quite frequent leaving only Mick Fleetwood (drutis), John McVie (bass), Christine McVie (keyboards/vocals/Arpstring ensemble) and Bob Welch (guitars/vocals/vibes) as the nucleus of the band. Their talents are augmented by superbly mixed horns courtesy of Nick DeCaro and the-slide guitar melodies of Pete Kleinow. Christine and Bob have ‘also written all the material. The title track “Heroes are Hard to Find” is a bouncy mixture of Caribbean and Motown rhythms. Bob Welch’s wavy rolling guitar, Christine’s sensual wailing vocals and hypnotic jungle rhythmscarry you through side one. The background vocals on “She’s Changing Me” and “Silver Heels” are reminiscent of the Beach Boys (bop shoo bop!) which is not at all expected because the album tias recorded in Los Angeles. I‘Silver Heels” is the most ucique, if not the most entertaining cut on this side, with some -very catchy lyrics. “Prove your Love” highlights Christine’s intriguing vocals and sonbwriting ability. The last two tracks are very similar to recent material on the “Mystery to Me” album. Ai times the wavy guitar solo can get quite repetitive. Perhaps the addition of an alternative style of guitar might recapture some of the freshness seen on their previous albums. The previous fbur albums were recorded in London, England and produced by Martin Birch. This .album was recorded in Los Angeles, without the help of Martin Birch, as a promotion for the band’s recent North American tour. With the change from London to Los Angeles the product has become slightly more commercial, however it is truly a comfortable album to listen to. . /

Streetlights--Bonnie

Raitt

Bonnie Raitt’s latest venture carries on the fine tradition she has established in her earlier albums. Bonnie is riding the crest of p&sently popular “laid back” style of southern country rock that is sweeping across the continent. Her vocal style captures, a little of Maria Muldaur and a lot of Rita Coolidge and yet*remains distinctive from either. She _ capitalizes well on a wide variety of material written by Joni Mitchell, John Prine, James Taylor and-others. Listen to “Stieetlights” and “I Got Plenty” to know what Bonnie can ‘do with the right lyrics and sharp rhythm changes. A vast array of,studio musicians and excellent production by Jerry Ragovoy make it possible -/for Bonnie’s chords to Soar almost out of Sight. .Excellent keyboard work courtesy of Leroy Pendarvis are a pleasant highlight to the album. At times he creates visions of Elton John with his ivory. The mixing is superb with a perfect blend of strings and horns. “Got You on My Mind” accents all the romantic flavour Bonnie can muster. Save this tune for the last dance ladies. >The occasional flavour of Motown in “Got to be Ready for Love” and “I got Plenty” accentuated by penetrating horns offers a nice balance to the intense personal ballads that Bonnie controls so well. Be careful this lady can very easily bring a tear to your eye. -fred moss

Puckers in barn The Warriors played four league games last week. In their first three encounters played on the weekend the Warriors collected a total of 3 1 goals while allowing their opponents a mere 6 markers. Their first game was played last Thursday evenZing in St. Catherines against the Brock Badgers. The Warriors colleCted two goals in the first and four in each thk second and third periods to give them a lo- 1 win. Brocks only goal came at the opening of the second frame. Ron Hawkshaw and Peter Ascherl paced the Warriors with 3 goals apiece, while Jeff Fielding netted two and singles went to Mike Guimond and Lee Barnes. Hawkshaw’s second and third goals were shorthanded markers scored 7 seconds. apart. The Warriors outshot the Badgers 40-17 in this game. On Friday evening the Warriors hosted the Ryerson Rams in the first of two games. This was another high scoring victory for Waterloo who netted 13 goals. The Warriors only challenge came in the first period when the Rams opened the game with two quick goals. The Warriors surged forward on two goals by Peter Ascherl and one by Ralph Biamonte; The Rams managed to obtain a tying marker before Waterloo’s Jeff Fielding, slipped one by the Ram goaltender in the last minute of the period to- give the Warriors a 4-3 lead. The Warriors dominated both the second and third periods. Biamonte and Ascherl connected for two early in the second, while Guimond and Barnes each scored shorthanded goals while Hawkshaw was off for roughing, near the end of the frame. The War-

riors collected an additional 5 markers in the third, Jeff Fielding accounted for two to complete his hat-trick, Ascherl collected his fourth of the game, and Bill Daub and Frank Staubitz netted singles. Jake Dupuis played in net for both these games. On Saturday evening the Warriors played a return match against the Rams obtaining an 8-2 victory. Bob Hnatyk filled the Warrior qet in this game and came up with some excellent saves. Peter Ascherl scored the only goal in the first period on a play with Guimond and Hawkshaw. Harry Robock scored early in the second, followed by two Ram goals to tie the game. The Warriors then took a 5-2 lead on goals by Mike Guimond, Mike Zettel and Randy Stubel.

Zettel and Guimond each connected fdr their second goals of the game while Ron Hawkshaw accounted for the other. Guimond’s goal came on a breakaway with 48 seconds remaining in the game. The, Warriors only tough contest of the week, was played in Guelph Tuesday night against the Gryphons. This was a fast moving game which saw constant end to end action. Guelph opened the scoring at the 1:35 mark of the first period. Peter Ascherl scored the tying marker at the 6:02 mark on a rebound from Mike Guimond. Ascherl collected his second marker with less than two minutes remaining in the second period, when he fired one into the upper left hand corner to give the Warfiors a 2-l lead going into the third. Guelph tied the game early in the third on a powerplay goal while Stubel was off for tripping. The Warriors had ample opportunity to score again but were unable to control the puck, firing too many wild shots.

Sexism on, this campus

It was our illusion that Canadian schools and universities promote academic freedom and diversity. The purge at Simon Fraser University in 1968 and the current purge at Renison College seriously’ challenge the presence of academic freedom and due process in Canadian Universities. We commend the Federation of Students at UW for its decisive support of the RAA and join with all those who have advance resolutions of support. 1We commend the RAA for its democratic nature and fully support the demands which have come forward from it. We express solidarity with the dismissed faculty and all progressive peoples who unite with the RAA in its political struggle to win democracy for Renison and indeed for the university generally.

One year ago (does anyone remember?), the report of the President’s Advisory Committee on Equal Rights for Women and Men at UW was released. Among other things the report noted 17 departments which could boast an all-male regular faculty. Overall, only 37 of 699 fulltime positions were held by women-just over five%. The report also pointed out that women made up just over onethird of the undergraduate stuThe Iranian Students Association dent body, but only 10% of the doctoral students. There were reasons, the report said, for these statistics. Some of them are outside the scope of the university; lack of encouragement and poor counselling at lower levels; societal attitudes to women with “brains”, to “career women’ ’ ; the certainty of (particularly male) teachers and administrators that women belong in the home.

Forest’s students respond.

We the undersigned students of Jeffery Forest, make it known that we have in no way, shape or form been coerced to Forest’s point of view, been pressured, been instructed as to the organization of a boycott of classes at Renis.on College, have seen Forest setting up pickets, been prevented from attending classes, nor have we been forced to miss an examination of any sort. In one class on Oct. 31 (the day of the firing) Towler demanded that Forest cancel his class and thus the exam. We have missed no other classes. We find the accusations against our teacher, J. Forest, an insult to our intelligence. He is an excellent teacher!*

God Is .* on our sid’e s God works in mysterious ways. Perhaps she is inflicting financial stress on universities in Ontario because, of their discrimination against women. Yet it seems unfair that such stress should be as great on the University of Toronto, which has been improving the status of women, as on the University of Waterloo (UW) which is continuing to suppress them. Even a merciful God’ is surely peeved whenshe finds at UW a dean of science and a faculty association which claim women are not equal to men; a dean of graduate studies who declares that housework is a suitable occupation for a woman with a PhD; and a president who feels that one woman professor out of 100 is a suitable ratio of male-tofemale teachers. Perhaps if the male hierarchy at UW assessed people by their intellectual ability and not by their anatomy, God would look on the institution with more generosity. Certainly we would have a university we need not be ashamed of.

Plbmer on regional plan - * I note in reading the article “Why The Regional Official Plan Must Be Deferred” I am quoted in rather-large type at the top of page 10 as saying “Thomson wants a plan that will require everyone to ask permission to move a muscle.” I was rather dismayed, to say the least, in seeing this-quotation in as much as (a) I don’t recall making that exact statement and (b) as far as I know I have never been interviewed by any Chevron representatives in terms of the Regional Official Plan. Without delving into the overall complexities of the Regional Official Plan may I say that in my opinion the document is a control document which will give the Regional level of government final approval over almost any form of development that occurs in any area municipality. This approval power is not unlike the approval power that now lies with the Province of Ontario and in the ultimate analysis the faceless provincial bureaucrats will be replaced by visible Regional Planning staff and more importantly by regional political representatives who have the final approval authority. I do not believe that the community planning process in the City of Waterloo will be hindered by the region. I believe that with the involvement of the Region 3s opposed to the Province the process should be speeded up. The local municipality _will have an opportunity to argue its position on any planning matter in the forum of Regional Council which is certainly more opportunity than it now has with the Region. In terms of the article on page 11 i.e. “Regional Planning in Action” in defence of the Regional Planning authorities the Major Holdings Lands west of Hallman Road were included in the land use plan at the City of Waterloo’s planning staff request. We do not consider these lands as committed but, rather as potential urban development lands the quantity of which, and the staging of which for growth is not known by the City at present. Depending on what Waterloo’s growth is to be for the next 20 or so years some of this land or none of it may be developed. The question of growth and direction of growth is to be the subject of intense study by the City in 1975 when the City’s now outdated Official Plan is reviewed and revised. Committed for development in terms of the area west of Hallman is an inappropriate word, perhaps potential development area would be more appropriate. In closing may I say that while I appreciate the concern that you feel over the Regional Official Plan and the amount of work that has gone into your article, quotes . out of context and without confirmation of those purported to be quoted does not add to the quality _ and accuracy of the article. f ’ 1I.3_I I =<

I Duncan speaks of the “fringe mentality’ ’ which pervades the science faculty, that is, the students and faculty who cannot and will not look beyond the pure and applied sciences, dismissing all else as “artsy”. He speaks of the prejudiced science students, who consider science to be superior in every way to arts. At no time does Duncan statethat this fringe mentality is possessed by only a small minority of students; rather his entire text implies that all science students possess this negative \ trait. Since Duncan failed to state it, let me be the first. There are individuals in the faculty of science who are narrow minded and prejudiced. This malady can be found in some individuals in all faculties. Yes, even the arts! In the arts, the fringe mentality is characterized by a total indifference to the values of others. Duncan is intolerant to the interests and values of science students. These values are not his own and he therefore considers them the sign of a shallow and uncomprehending mind. This form of bigotry is no less disgusting than racial prejudice itself.

Best way to learn by doing’ When you finally hold an animal in your hand and are about to kill it you can adopt one of two attitudes: deny that the situation has moral implications and then kill the animal or consider the situation as a moral one. A lot of , biology students adhere to the former course, thus separating their world into moral and amoral portions much as the Corleones separated private life (and morality) and business (and amorality) in “The Godfather”. And like the Corleones the biology student finds the separation easy because he does not consider it, does not ponder it; he ‘accepts it uncritically. Pithing a frog is simply a step in an experiment-it is a part of one’s education like notetaking and reading; it is, within this very narrow perspective, something that is done without question. The lab manual says do it (and who writes these lab manuals, anyway? who accepts that ‘final responsibility?) and we do it. “The boy kills the frog in sport but the frog dies in earnest. ” Like , the boy, we don’t think but unlike the boy, we are capable of thinking in moral terms about what we are doing. This is a serious letter. I’m sure some of you are laughing over this moralizing on a frog. However, if -feed&ck

I am to continue in a particular biology course (vertebrate physiology), after having killed six frogs this term, I am allowed to contribute three rats next term. In addition, I receive tissue from freshly killed rat’s’ and mice. I work with a partner and there are ten sets of partners in the lab, each doing the same experiments; there are four labs. Other courses use frogs, rats and mice as well as rabbits and chicks. If one is very good and gets to graduate school or beyond, the field is open. Any animal can.be used depending on your interest;. the limiting factor is usually the cost. \ I am arguing that considering what we learn in these labs, the cost in lives-subhuman though they may be-is unjustifiable and morally indefensible.. I challenge professor ,Hart (the course lecturer), professor Parker (the senior lab demonstrator), or anyone else to justify the laboratory procedures. I am’ going to anticipate the usual objections and answer them no,w. We learn from laboratory experiments to do as we are told. Do we? Those people who are interested, who- have done preparatory reading and thinking, may learn but the majority who come unprepared for a lab, having (perhaps) read the manual only and who fumble through the procedures probably do not learn through their own dissections and manipulations of the animal. They learn when the demonstrator tells them what is supposed to happen. But what can be expected from people who do not haie the experience or the skills to do a dkc&t job? And why do ‘we perform all these procedures when they *have been done before-properly-and the re-, sults are well documented? Why do we kill animals to find out what is already known? Why not simply read the published results and then if some practical is still deemed necessary why don’t we watch a skilled demonsirator do a proper job? That skill will also result in the least amount of suffering for an animal, something that ’ does not often occur with stuI dents’ pithing of frogs or injecting of mammals. It is sickening *to hear a frog begin to croak after it has been splayed on a board and its skin cut open-all because of improper pithing. ; “The oply way to learn is by doing,” o,$“the best way to learn is by doing”, is frequently’ claimed as a justification. I suppose that the meaning here is that we are developing techniques or imbibing what Polanyi would call “tacit knowledge”. That it is the only way to learn is made ridiculous by holding lectures for every course; that it is the best way can be refuted by the argpments related abole. Regardless of that, the argument continues, we wouldn’t develop the techniques or pick up the tacit knowledge in any other way. True, but for what purpose, why are we developing these techniques and skills? The implication seems to be that there will be a future use for them. If we all become doctors I would say al right but I doubt if eve,n 3% of biology studetits become doctors. What* about future researchers who must have these skills in order to conduct meaningful inquiries?. After all, the argument goes, pure research is what applicatigns are made from and applied research is justified by its very nature. Again I would argue that very few biology students end up as researchers. For those few who dd, the moral issue remains. Abraham Kaplan in The Conduct of Inquiry says that science,. as a search for truth, does not need to justify itself to anyone outside of science. Perhaps such a

statement is true but scien& must examine what they are doing and answer to themselves as human beings whether their work is right or wrong. There ar? famous cases of the neglect of this examination-the “doctors” in the concentration camps of World War II; and there are famous cases of close examination of research-test-tube babies and deceit in psychological esperiments where one subject apparently w%s giving subtetanizing electric shocks to another. Any reseyrch involving the killing of animals. surely deserves the greatest examination and the deepest thought before being undertaken. Obviously, we draw the line somewhere, but with a senGent, feeling animal-and granted we do not know for-sure if it does sense and feel (bU< what do we know about anything for sure?)--the ends must justify the killing. I think it is insufficient to say that we are killing animals now in order to learn techniques and skills that a few of us may put to use in the future in research that may be useful to mankind. A we’ak attempt at justification that hardly needs answering is the one that says simply, “they aren’t human.” I question the humanity of the person who argues thus. Finally, it is argued that from animal expqriments we can extrapolate to man. Again, though, for what purpose? Sure, it’s nice to know but to put. the smile of reason on a man’s face at the expense of animals’ lives is wrong. This attempt at justification, like many of the others, evades the issue, doeS*not resolve it. These are my arguments. I think that the laboratory exercises should, at the very worst, be demonstrated by competent people; at the best, should be eliminated. Unfortunately, ’ I have complied since September wifh the laboratory requirement in vertebrate physiology-not without

concern-but ‘till refi3se to do so this next term unless the requixemerits are changed.

As’with theschemes whichhave preceded. I it, this plan is weak in many crucial areas. One suoh area is logging.

required because ecosystems a& dynamic. For example to preservk a red and white pihe system a number of influencing factors must be considered. Such an ecosystem has a life span of 300-400 years. Therefore, in order to maintain a dynamic ecosystem the forest must have many stages of growth, to ensure that .as one piece dies an&her one is right behind to take its place. Sound forestry suggests that each of the stages of development be about 10 years apart. In this example we would then require some 40 stages -of development. In a 1,000 square mile park it would mean 25 square miles of newly regenerated forest, 25 square miles of ten year old forest, and so on up to 400 years. After one considers such environmental factors as the area covered by rock, water, disease, fires and blow-downs one would be left with about 6-9 square miles of the desired forest ’ type-not very much. The government has alloted two primitive zones in Algonquin, one to the north of Highway 60, and the other-to its south. The area of the northern Primitive Zone is 125,650 acres, scarcely 169 square miles. The southern zone is 40,850 acres, which is only 69 square miles. Even when added together these two areas are far from being the desired size of a Primitive Zone.

Motor Boats One of the most disturbing aspects of the plan is the government’s persistence in evading definite decisions. A clear example of this is the proposal for motor b&s, which trouble many visitors to Ajgonquin. Motor boats have l&en banned from many of the interior lakes. However, they are allowed on 26 lakes and on ,all of these water skiing will be permitted. On 16 of these lakes the motor size is unrestricted. Many feel that in a Provincial Park !ike Algonquin there should at least be a limitation on the size of the motors used by such boats. The government’s proposal is “The use of motor boats will be phased out as soon as possible”. There have been too many cases where “as soon as possible” has proved to be.a very long time.

There are over 2,000 miles of logging roads in the park, many of which are wide, high speed and heavy duty, for the massive‘ logging trucks. Some are within sound and sight of portages throughout the park. And some violate the shoreline reservation regulations which state that roads cannot be constructed within 400 feet of 8 lake. One such road can be found by the Otterslide Lake portage and there is another by Harness Lake. Tmcks can,be heard, if not seen, by canoeists on-Booth Lake. On the west side of Brule Lake, parked on an all purpose weather proof road, stands a huge logging canoe. These are but a few examples of the many intrusions found within the interior Lof Algonquin. If these intrusions are part of management policies aimed at protecting and perpetuating therecreationalcharacter of the park then the future of Algonquin is a dismal one indeed.

Intrusions In its section “Goals for Algonquin” the government has written Since the establishment of Algonquin Park just over 80 years ago, management policies have aimed at protecting -and perpetuating the recreational characterof the Park, particularly the lands with unique. water-related characterisitcs in the vicinty of lakes, streams, ‘portages and trails. This policy will b9 continued. However, in addition, significant natural ecosystems within Algonquin will be perpetuated in as near pristine conditions as possible in representative areas and larger landscape units. This statement is most deceptive as the government’s management policies have not been aimed at “protecting and perpetuating the recreational character of the park.” Throughout its history Algonquin has been subject to intrusion upon intrusion. For example, the establishment of the.650 kilovo!t transmission line from Des Joachines to Burlington by the Ontario Hydro Commission eliminated a total of 2,652 acres of land in Algonquin. In 1959 a National Radio Observatory at -Lake Traverse was proposed. Toddy it has reached town proportions, with its 150 foot saucer antenna, ancillary reflectors and a suburban type subdivision all connected by a network of black-tdpped roads.

Summary

way, the establishment of the Algonquin Forest Authority and an increase in &o&e extraction are but a few example; which demonstrate a lack of sound planning. If you don’t care, then forget what you have just read. If you do care, then make your concern -known. We must prove to the government that the people of Ontario are deeply concerned about Algonquin.

The Government of Ontario is &lowing the degredation’of the Algonquin ecosystem tq increas,e. The construction of a new high-

, Highway An&her proposal in the master plan is a new highway, which the government describes as “Madawaska Motor Trail-An eight mile long, one-way, self-guiding auto tour route will link points of interpretive and scenic interest. It would provide day visitors with an excellent opportunity t.3 c3~perience the Algonquin environment. W,ay side exhibits and other interpretive devices will be installed at key points.” The installation of this highway is an obscenity. Algonquin is surrounded by thousands of square miles of Canadian Shield different only because it is not within the park boundaries. There are hundreds of roads throughout the Muskoka-Haliburton areas offering to the motorist some of the country’s most beautiful scenery. Algonquin is a people park, a park to preserve, a park where the wonders of nature should be felt, heard, viewed and experienced on a one to one relationship between the visitor and nature. To introduce another road will place undue stress upon Algonquin’s environment and add substantially to its degradation.

Hunting The government is going to continue to permit hunting in the park. It states in the: / Recreation section of the plan “The townships of Bruton and Clyde. . . will continue to be managed to provide low intensity public hunting ophortunities.” These twb townships, incorporated into Algonquin in 1960, are to be.allowed 83 hunt campsites during the hunting season. It is the opinion of The Algonquin Wildlands League that Provincialparks should be sanctuaries for animals; where the animals are safe from bullets.

attempi to relieve over crowded areas already-in existence. . S&en small areas will be added to the park. . McRae’s sawmill on Whitefish Lake is to be removed as soon as the operation there ceases. The question is when?

Although poor in many respects the plan does put forth some needed changes which will be implemented in 1975: A maximum limit of human use has been recognized. Motor cafipsites will be pegged at 2,000, up from the present 1,325, to provide 500,000 camper days. The interior campsites will be increased from 1,200 to I ,5QO to accommodate 360,000 camperaays.

Press Graphix ,’ read this, if you want to know what the real story is. regarding baskin robbins. we are not against friendly contests between the students of this campus and other campuses. however, we are opposed to those contests which encourage waste, and glorify our north-american over-conswmption. answer this. do we need baskin robbins banana splits to survive? hundreds-of thousands of people around the world can’t even get enough staples and are dying bythe hundreds of hunger. how can we justify eating (wasting) thousands of calories of food jtigt for a friendly contest? boycott baskin robbins and every other establishment which encourages waste and decadence. gratitude and salutations to ail the chevrics this week including, michael gordon, doug ward, diane ritza, our centrefold jacques roy, neil docherty and the other lad, lisa and kris, ken dick,. ken browne, Shirley holmes, last week’s omission helen anne wrtuk, geoff epstein, ralph torrie, phil reiily, john and randy the leaders of our band of witless scribes, and to all Santa’s elves who are using this paper for packing material (how daring) . . .and that reminds us . . .whatever happened to Christmas. it seems that commercialism, that big ugly monster which turns everything but everything into either a sale or a rise in prices, is trying to change Christmas into the “holiday season” and ‘xmas”. why can’t we be like the dutch and save christmasfor religious celebrations and give gifts (simple on-, with a meaningful poem) after the new year has begun? have a good holiday and good luck on ail those exams.. .pr.

Whereas OFS-F-E0 is committed to ensure a post secondary educational system based on. L . , the principles of universal accessibility;. education’ as a social right, rather than an i individual responsibility; free tuition; and a living stipend, brought about by a pro&es- / ’ sive taxation scheme; be it resoived that the following measures be adopted as prelimi-, * .: I nary steps: .’ L I
