University of Waterloo Waterloo, Ontario volume 15, number 25 friday, january 11, 1975
Fellow students: The University of Waterloo senate at its Dec. 16 meeting voted in favour of allowing professors to cancel their classes on the afternoon of Jan. 15 to enable members of the university community to take part in a study session on the university’s financial crisis. The study session is jointly snonsored bv the Federation of Students, the%W administration, the Graduate Club, the Faculty Association and the Staff Association. The event will be held from 12:30 to 2:30 p.m. in the Campus Centre Great Hall. f‘.
‘
The study session was precipitated by the Nov. 18 provincial government announcement regard-
ing the levels of operating support to universities for 1975-76. The actual increase in funding for universities worked out on a per student basis is 7.4 percent, less than the current inflation rate. The Ontario university representatives condemned the level of support granted by the government for 197576. It is clear that-the government has opted for a deteriora. tion of universities. At an emergency meeting of the Ontario Federation of Students Dec. 16, student presidents from 25 universities and community colleges discussed the implications of the recent announcement of the government’s financial cutbacks on their institutions. These implications include the possible closing
of both Lakehead and Laurentian, Universities, overcrowding of classrooms, nonreplacement of obsolescent equipment, the phasing out of courses due to lack of facilities and faculty, elimination of experimental programmes, underpaid staff, ,cutback in student services-ah leading to a general decline in the quality of university education. The Federation of Students and the Ontario Federation of Students are working hard, together’ with other groups, to protect the interest of the students. It is hoped that you will take the time to attend and take part in the study session. Andrew Belegdi president of the Federation of Students

AS you have wandered
around campus perhaps you have seen postthe word FASS and perhaps you have wondered who or
ers displaying what FASS is. Well, now the truth shall be revealed. FASS stands for Faculty, Administration, Staff, and Students. Each . year the FASS organization gathers‘together a grotip of people who write a play based on life at the University of Waterloo. A particular theme is chosen and the script of the play is written around this theme. In the past FASS presented its play with a western theme, a futuristic theme, and an ancient Rome theme to name just a few. This year FASS is a bomb. The theme of this year’s play is based on an uprising of the peasants of the country of Waterliechtenstein who decide that they don’t like the way things are being run. The story is intriguing, mysterious, and hopefully funny. This year’s production will be presented during the first week of February. Take a break from the drudgery of everyday life here at UW and come out and see FASS. For those interested FASS needs lots of people to help with the production backstage. So if you are interested in costumes, sets, lighting, or anything at all come out and help. For information go to the FASS office (6083~) in the Math and Computer building.

OPIRG wants Waterloo’s Ontario Public Interest Research Group (OPIRG) badly needs students who are willing to subr@t project proposals or volunteer to help out on this terms projects. The projects can be on any area in which the student is interested. OPIRG is considering projects on activities of the oil industry, and the insurance industry, investigating the local land development industry, the political urban plapning process, and Ontario Hydro’s possible misuse of nuclear energy. OPIRG also hopes to do research into t‘he plight of Canada’s native peoples and the United Farm Workers. Terry Moore, a member of the OPIRG’s board of governors hopes to look into the problems disabled workers are having with the Workmen’s Compensation Board. It is possible for students to receive a course credit for their work with the research group. Last term professor Kent Gerecke of the school of urban abd regional planning gave a group of his first year students a credit for their work on a ward system newspaper which was distributed among people in the community during the last munucipal elections. The newspaper outlined,the reasons why Kitchener voters should vote for the ward system. Kitchener voters voted overwhelmingly in favour of the ward-system in a referendum held on the issue. The people at OPIRG are willing to hear any project ideas. Interested students should contact Victor Chan at the OPIRG office on the third floor of the Chemistry-Biology link, room 351.

cutbacks
Rag&g inflation and shrinking government grants forced the ‘University of Waterloo (UW) to project a $1.2 million’ deficit on total expenditures of about $49.5 million for the 1975-76 operating budget. The deficit, covered by $3 million in surplus funds, was triggered by a provincial government announcement Nov. 18 saying that over-all grants to the universitycollege system, for the upcoming year, would-be increased by about 16 percent. Ontario university presidents were unanimous in criticizing the government sudport level, as they argued that on a per student basis the grants increased by only 7.4 percent, well below skyrocketing inflation. The draft budget will be voted on by senate, Jan. 21, and by the board of governors, Feb. 4. However, despite the proposed deficit, U W financial experts slashed allocations in academic and student services, as well as other areas in the univei-sity programme. . Some of the affected areas include the library, counselling serI’vices, the campus centre, health services and the cultural programme centre.
Library cutbacks Late hours for the university library-midnight to 8 a.m.-will be discontinued during January and February. However, during exams it’ll be open until 2 a.m. The money outlay for the purchasing of new books and periodicals will be frozen at present levels, which means an erosion of 14 percent due to “inflationary pressures.” The draft budget, regarding library expenses, points out that: “A static budget must compel a reassessment of policies with respect to new subscriptions especially in the light of the need to devote available resources to the support of existing commitments.” ’ “Inflationary pressures and the need to observe the priorities enforced by existing commitments result in a decline of over-all purchasing power, and a consequent reduction in the degree of coverage of printed and non-prifit materials, which the university is able to offer ..’’
“In view of these constraints, it will be impossible for the university library to maintain its present level of support for existing teaching and -research programmes. Furthermore, it will be in no position to offer any assistance in the support and development of new or e,xpanded programmes.” According to a statistidal report, released by the university librarian Murray Shepherd last March, UW spent $220.79 per student on library expenses in 1973-74 which places the university 18th in a sample pool of 19 Canadian universities.
Counselling
trimmed
Counselling services will be trimmed by $25,000 which will result in staff reduction and longer waiting hours. In addition, the cut will curtail such services as peer counselling (i.e. Hi-Line and the birth control centre), career counselling, marital counselling .and {he Internatio_nal Student Office. Also there’ll be fewer internships for counsellors which will further curb the services provided during the peak periods in the autumn and winter terms. The proposed cut when coupled with a similar one last year will slash counselling services by 30.5 percent over a two year span.
Other slashes Ticket prices for cultural programme centre events will increase next year and the year after. Also there might be some reductions in the professional programme. I Health services’ infirmary will be -closed altogether and there’ll be a sizeable reduction in nursing staff. q Maintenance for the’ campus centre will have to b’e curbed soniewhat as the university will not pick up the tab to cover increased costs in janitorial services. Also turnkey shifts will be cut during the early morning hours. n
Matthews talks cutbacks UW president Burt Matthews said, at a regularly scheduled news conference Friday, that there’ll be continual money shortages for universities in the next few years. In order to counter this shortage
UW will be forced to-trim its staff and “cut all the corners we can” in the long run, he said. Matthews *also said ,the reason why the cut must be made on salaries in the long run was because they account for 80 percent of the university budget. However, he pointed out that the cutback in staff and faculty members would be made through normal turnover and resignations, and would not result in any firings. “It’s not a crisis or anything where you’re running ‘around tapping people on the shoulder and saying “you’re it”, he said. According to Matthews, UW will have to cut about $2 million from its annual expenditures in order to avoid deficits after the 1975-76 operating year. “That is not going to be easy, but I believe’ive can do it in 18 months, and do it wisely.” The university currently employs about 1,800 staffers, 700 faculty members - and several hundred part-time teachers. Although Matthews stressed that the teaching area would be the last to be cut, he said there would be an increase in the number of students per teacher. -john

In the past two years counselliig services budget has been cut by more than 30 percent. Because of these cutbacks no new staff will be hired and most temporary or part-time staff Will be fired. Reduction in staff will result in the curtailment of the Hi-line service, career counselling and vocational testing and the development of programmes with international students through the international students office. A/so the number of internships for human relations graduate students will be reduced.
Plaza gets council’s approval The inaugural meeting of the new Waterloo city council got off to a contentious beginning as the newly elected mayor, Herb Epp, cast a deciding vote in favour of the prop‘osed new north end plaza. The proposed development which was subject to much debate this past summer will be built on a 65acre site northeast of King Street and the Conestoga Parkway by Select Properties of Mississauga. Council plans to bring in. the plaza began in November when an amendment was sent to the Ontario - Municipal Board to amend its official plan in order to bring in the north end development. The amendment was accepted by the province but later rejected due to some procedural quirk which even chief planner Richard Danzinger admittedly was at a loss to explain. A motion was tabled in the council meeting by alderman Roy
Bauman which would postpone passage of the amendment. Ald. Mewhinney , Ald. Bauman, Ald. Turnbull and Ald. Carroll voted in favour of postponement. The motion was voted against by Ald. Voelker, Ald. Wagner., Ald. Kominek, Ald. Henry and Mayor Epp and went down to defeat. Immediately after the vote Ald. Mewhinney leaned over to Rudy Kominek and joked: “Did we have you sweating Rudy?” Ms. Mewhinney’s comment was understandable for the vote was very much a surprise. The previous council for the most part voted strongly for urban development and expansion. Consistently acting as the de facto official opposition, in the old council, were Roy Bauman and Mary Jane Mewhinney who argued for the preservation of community structures and for the guarding of the outlying farming areas fro’m urban sprawl. Monday night t,hey found some friends. Marjorie Carroll and Brian Turnbull, just elected in the recent municipal elections, voted with Bauman and Mewhinney in favour of postponing passage of the amendment. What this vote means in terms of the upcoming two years is difficult to discern. Bauman and Mewhinney’s vote is understanda-

ble in light of their past record. The motives of Carroll and Turnbull are less obvious. Whether their concern lay with the upcoming meeting with the Oxford Development Corporation who had strongly argued against the plaza vis-a-vis their proposed re-development project in downtown Waterloo or with the loss of valuable farm land sacrificed for the plaza is as yet unknown. At any rate for erstwhile reporters eager for copy the close vote was a definite turn for the better. -doug

Library hit by inflation S Due to the continuing spiral of costs and the stinginess of the provincial government the university’s libraries are being forced to make large reductions in the number of new books. University librarian Murray Shepherd told the chevron that as much as 45% of next year’s funds for new books and periodicals will be spent on just binding newspapers and periodicals. The libraries are going into the next year with a large deficit in their budget. Consequently several areas ‘of service are already cut back. Shepherd and members of the Senate library committee concluded that the all-night hours of the library will have to be eliminated. Library studies have revealed only 17 to 20 people were entering the library between midnight and 8 a.m. Shepherd told the Senate last spring this measure would save the library about $12,000 a year. Also the circulation desk will be closing at 11 p.m. instead of’at 12 midnight. Studies show only 2 to 3 percent of library transactions occu,r within these hours. The money saved from this curtailment of service will be allocated to hire more people on day shifts to speed up the processing and shelving of books. The library staff have been receiving complaints about the slowness of library service and they hope this will speed up the circulation of books. Shepherd is also most concerned about spending for next year. “We are anticipating a 22% inflation rate next year which is reducing our buying power by the same amount.”
Another problem is that the library is heavily dependent on American and European book publishers and it is there that inflation is worst. Library officials are especially concerned about the increasing rate of inflation because it makes the planning of spending for next year almost impossible. One library official thinks it may get worse when next years budget takes effect on May 1. Present cut-backs are only to reduce this year’s budget deficit, however “there may be even less money and more cutbacks of service after May 1,, . Murray Shepherd told the chevron he hopes we will only be forced to cut out the frills of past library service and get-down to what he terms “the basics of good library service”. One cheerful note for library officials is the continuing increase in library use. There is clearly a demand for library service however the provincial government has seen fit to only increase university grants by 7 percent. With a 12 percent inflation rate that is an effective budget cut of 5 percent.
Campus centre looks for new head ,
The Campus Centre Board has as yet received no applications for the position of chairperson, and has therefore extended the deadline for , nominations another two weeks. At a board meeting Wednesday, none of the board members, the only people eligible for the position, volunteered for nomination, Fred Bunting, chairperson of the *board for the past two years, is unwilling to run for the position again this year. Another problem that came up in the meeting concerned the recent budget cuts, which the board’found , itself unable to deal with for lack of a copy of next year’s campus centre budget.

by Karolyn Fendrick At present,-post-secondary education in this province is financed through a weighted formula based on Basic Income Units (BIU’s), which are per capita grants to post-secondary institutions. For instance, ’ an undergraduate arts student is “worth” one BIU, whereas a doctoral student is “worth” six BIU’s. Students in science and professional faculties are worth more, than arts students. In addition, financing is done on a slipyear system; that is, post-secondary institutions receive their grants on the basis of the previous year’s enrolment. Obviously, this favours a declining or static enrolment‘situation, and, in fact, the system was instituted in-the early 70’s when enrolments in universities were declining. However, this system was also imposed on colleges, which have always showed strong growth, and has not been changed in the last few years when enrolments in universities have begun to climb once again. Further, in the past, universities have been eligible for supplementary, or extraformula, grants for special financing difficulties. These have been almost automatic for the so-called emerging universities, such as Lakehead, Laurentian, Carleton, and Brock. All of these are schools that have large undergraduate-liberal arts populations, and, thus, do not get the advantage of the weighted BIU’s that go to the schools with large graduate and professional enrolments. The rationale for the distribution and amount of these supplementary grants has never been clearly ‘delineated. In the past the Ministry of Colleges and Universities has distributed the money based on the negotiations between the individual university and the Committee on University Affairs, now replaced by the Ontario Council on University Affairs (OCUA). The whole formula financing system has been one of controversy: the larger universities,! such as’ Toronto and-Western, tend to favour it, since they receive the advantages of the weighted BIU’s, whereas the smaller and newer schools would like to see it replaced with some other scheme; and over-the past few years they have kept whole bureaucracies busy devising complex alternatives of varying degrees of impracticability. Since 1972, the annual increase in the value of the BIU has not kept pace with inflation. Since 1970 the value of the BIU has risen only $370, from $1,730 to the announced value for 1975-76 of $2,100 for university students. As a result, universities have been cutting back and dipping into rapidly depleting reserves for the last few years. Their staffs have been falling behind drastically in relative pay scale, while students have been fac&g larger classes and an increasing emphasis on rote learning. At the same time, this rationalization of the learning process has been planned and executed by a centralized and unrepresentative body of administrators and academicians both on the local and provincial levels.
The Crunch i In late November, James Auld, Minister of Colleges and Universities, called a special meeting of university and college administrators to announce financing arrangements for 1975-76. He announced a 7.4 percent increase in the value of the university BIU, from $1,955 to $2,100; and a 5.5 percent increase for college students, up to $2,063. At the same time, Auld said that if the Council of Regents and the Ontario Council on University do not wish to continue the present formula financing arrangements, they can suggest other ways to distribute the $109 million increase in total operating grants (a 16.9 percent increase). However, said Auld, post-secondary institutions cannot raise tuition fees nor make any changes in the present policy of / accessibility. Inflation is projected around 14 percent for the year, and enrolments rose this year about 6 percent in the university system and near 8 percent in the colleges. Postsecondary institutions are already experiencing incredibly high turnover rates in their non-academic staff because of the bad pay. College faculty, unionized under the CSAO, are already negotiating for salary increases, and the university faculty have set a bargaining .figure of 25 percent. According to COU figures, hospital salary settlements for clerical and technical workers

two.years,” says the brief, “there has been an overall increase in the ratio of student! BIU’s to full-time equivalent faculty of 5 per cent per year.” In addition, Toronto announces that it will cutback on library hours and acquisitions and that it will abandon its interdisciplinary studies programme. Since Toronto is in better shape than most other universities, what is happening there will be accentuated elsewhere. At community colleges, where student services are already insufficient,% the effects will be felt even more keenly. Equipment required for courses will not be replaced or maintained adequately. The universities are also using the vagaries of the present financing arrangements ’ to blackmail the government and the pub-, lick Because BIU values are weighted away from the humanities, arts courses are basically a losing proposition. Thus, Evans has threatened that the cutbacks may force Toronto to “forsake our inheritance and phase out a large part of our work in the humanities. ”

Some Implications
are 22 percent to 50 percent higher than those for comparable university staff filling similar jobs. The COU had recommended a 17 percent increase in the value of BIU’s, which had led most universities to prepare their budgets for 1975-76-on the basis of a 9 percent or more increase., The situation is compounded by‘ the fact that universities have tended to underestimate their enrolment increases in the budget preparation, and further compounded by the slip-year financing; which penalizes post-secondary institutions for increasing accessibility to them. Due to the government’s financing plans, 14 of the 15 provincial universities (the one exception being Wilfrid Laurier, apparently), have announced that they face serious financial difficulties next year. Many of them have raised the spectre of bankruptcy within the next few years, while all of them face serious deficit financing. The universities claim they face a collective deficit of $35-$40 million next year if they carry ahead all current programmes and increase salaries to keep pace with inflation. , Queens fac& its third year of deficit financing, and York is already paying over $400,000 a y ear to service its present deficit. Whatever the exaggeration ‘of their present woe, the universities’ story is not a bright one; but it is darkest of all for the people who will bear the brunt of the cutbacks, yet who are least represented in the policy decisions the post-secondary institutions are now making-students, staff, and the public which finances these institutions.
The Reaction
So far the reaction of the academic establishment has reflected the elitist and selfserving nature of its decision making bodies. While claiming to have the best interests of the academic community at heart, individuals and organizations within the establishment have responded in ways that can only alienate them from potential support from students and the community at large and that can only increase the public’s perception of them as a narrow
interest group. John MacDonald, executive director of the Council of Ontario Universities (COU), has been quoted as saying that universities may have to limit enrolments. The Canadian Association of University Teachers (CAUT) has recommended an increase in university tuition fees adjusted annually to the rise in the cost of living. This is similar to the position taken by secretary of state Hugh Faulkner in a recent speech to the Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada (AUCC) . In addition, individual administrators, such as University of Toronto’s John Evans, have come out-in favour of indexing tuition fees to the cost of living. These retrograde proposals come at the same time that administrators at the University of Wisconsin, where such a policy is now in effect, are working out plans for lowering tuition fees because inflation has made it too much of a burden on students. Some universities, including Queen’s and Toronto, have said they may soon fire some academic staff. Others have threatened that they will make only token salary adjustments for their staffs. The cutbacks in services planned everywhere will mean serious lay-offs of non-academic staff. However bad the situation at universities, it can only be worse at the colleges. Staffs there are already paid less than at universities. Students, as well, are being forced to carry the brunt of the cutbacks. At the same time that it announced that it would deficit finance its athletic programme, Carleton University attempted to take over tiny St. Patrick’s College, which it owns. By marshalling the support of alumni, faculty and students, St. Patrick’s I has staved off the takeover for the time being. The University of Toronto has dropped a planned increase of $550,000 ih graduate fellowship support. In its brief to the OCUA, dated December 20, Toronto has announced that it does not intend to relieve the staffing squeeze in its biology department, where enrolment has increased by 122% in the last four years. “For the last .
l
The government obviously finds postsecondary education an easy target for budget trimming. Academia (including * ’ students) has so divorced itself from the public that the government thinks the public will sacrifice an open post-s,econdary system. What the government ‘has confused, of course, is the structure of academia with the principles of education as a social priority. Adequate support for students, staff and institutions is obviously a prerequisite for a high quality of education. And in the long run the government’s present policies can only restrict access to institutions that are already far too much the sphere of the economically privileged. * In economic terms, it would be hard to I justify the government’s cutbacks. The percentage of the provincial budget devoted to post-secondary education has fallen in the past few years, although more . people are within the system. Corporate taxes, on the other hand, have not in, creased significantly. I But if the government has demonstrated . no support for the principles of universal accessibility. and educational quality, neither has the academic establishment so far. Insofar as they have acted only to preserve their own positions, their responses can only be termed irrational, in the shortsighted way that closed bodies become. By offering alternatives to the present formula financing, the government has also ensured a good measure of internecine wrangling among the various post-secondary institu. tions. An amazing portion of the Toronto OCUA briefis spent justifying the present formula, which favors a large university like Toronto over its smaller siblinginstitutions. Thus, the universities not only have acted in ways that tend to alienate them from their students and the community-at-large, but are also squabbling among themselves. Students, who are a fixed income group, and staffs are increasingly pinched by inflation. As we have pointed out, OSAP, the student support scheme in this province is both inadequate and inequitable. Instead of supporting such claims, the academic establishment is clamoring for higher tuition and restricted access. It has fought at every step of the way efforts by teaching assistants to unionize in order to secure decent wages and working conditions. It maintains sexist hiring practices and unequal wage scales for men and women employees. In’ short, it adopts the attitude of private industry towards its workers; and like private industry it is attempting to shift the burden of inflation onto students and staff. That this is the case is largely due to the closed, corporate ways in which decisions are made in academia. Centralization of power has led to an arrogation of authority among postsecondary institutions. They have claimed the right to withhold public information from - public bodies, for instance. Recently, . are the COU has said, “the restrictions going to make it necessary for universities to rethink their long-term plans.” What we see clearly is that our fight is with the government for a decent postsecondary educational system, which implies not only adequate support for students, staff, and institutions, but which also implies an open, responsive, and democratic post-secondary system.

:Oil game: split e , wt%st ‘\ deals -with OPEC ,. ~ “The popular picture of a few tremenddusly wealthy Arab sheikhs holding the world to ransom, indifferent to either the fate of Western industrial civilization or the poverty of the Third World, is a gross caricature” SAYS London Observer’s Robert Stephens in the following article describing the splits. in the Wesf on h6w to deal with the oil producers.
by Robert Stephens Fifteen months after the oil crisis began, the Western Powers are still groping for a way of dealing with its serious financial consequences. The delay has been due - partly to deep differences about oil strategy I between the United States and its European allies. Some steps have been taken-to deal with other aspects of the oil crisis. There has been agreement, though without France and Norway, on the creation of an International Energy. Agency, with the outlines of an energy programme. This includes oilsharing in the event of a new Arab embargo, reducing dependence on oil imports by developing alternative energy resources and restricting consumption. But the main industrial powers, the United States; Japan and Western Europe, have not yet decided on how to mitigate the international financial effects of the four-fold increase in oil prices. There is still no agreement on how the more economically vulnerable oilimporting countries can be helped to pay their greatly increased oil import bills, or on how the international monetary system can handle the investment of the oilproducers’ huge surplus revenues-two sides of the same problem that has come to be called ‘recycling. ’
US Resistance
)
For most of the past year, the US re sisted any new arrangements for recycling, because it thought they might delay the achievement. of the main American aim of forcing down oil prices. Now the whole problem, and various proposals by the US and others to deal with it, are to be discussed at a series of critical international ministerial meetings over the next few weeks. The first began Jan. 6 in London between the Finance Ministers of the European Community. Before looking at the main rival proposals, however, it might be helpful to disentangle the real scope and nature of the problem from the mythology that surrounds it. For the popular picture of a few tremendously wealthy Arab sheikhs holding the world to ransom, indifferent to either the fate of Western industrial civilisation or the poverty of the Third World, is a gross caricature. It may respond to racist prejudice, or to the needs of political warfare, but it does not help us to understand the real \ situation.
OPEC States
Who are the OPEC States, how rich are they, and where does their money go? Four of the most important and populous of OPEC’s 11 members (with two associates) are not Arab-Nigeria, Indonesia, Iran and Venezuela. Despite their new earnings, the OPEC States as a whole still come nowhere near the Western world in wealth. Their combined gross national product is only about 4 per cent of the total GNP of the 24 industrial nations of the OECD (which includes the US, Western Europe, Japan and Australasia). The four non-Arab members of OPEC, together with two of the seven Arab members-Algeria and Iraq-form a group Y which has a total population of some 240 million, with low average-living standards, which need most of their oil revenues for their own development. The other five OPEC ‘members-Saudi Arabia, Libya, Kuwait, Qatar and Abu Dhabi-have a total population of only 11 million, a high per capita income and li-
mited nossibilities for home development. But *even these five Arab States, especially Saudi Arabia, Libya and Kuwait; have substantial development programmes of their own, and also have their own pfiorities in disposing of surplus earnings. After their ow’n development, their first concern is for external investments that will enable them to survive when their oil begins to run out. At the moment, this mainly means investment in industrial countries. So they have an interest in the economic health of at least those Western countries where they are investing their money or buying capital or consumer goods. (Most OPEC members have also a political interest in a healthy West as a support against Russia.)
OPEC Aid The second priority is investment and aid for countries with which the oil producers have special links of political friendship, alliance or regional or cultural affinity. Thus, for the Arab oil producers, it is the other 11 States of the Arab League that have no oil or not enough to export, and especially the four Arab countries on the front line with Israel-Egypt, Syria, Jordan and Lebanon. In addition to direct government grants to these countries, the Arab oil States have set up various multilateral development aid funds-the Kuwait Fund for Arab Economic Development, with a capital of over 1,000 million sterling pounds; the Abu Dhabi Development Fund of 250 million sterling; and the 100 million sterling Arab Fund for Social and Economic Developr ment. There is also an 80 million pound fund to help African States buy Arab oil, a 200 million pound Arab Bank for Agricultural and Industrial Development and a new Islamic Fund of 1,000 million pounds, to which Saudi Arabia and Libya have largely contributed, to help development in Muslim countries. The next priorities, after particular friends and relations, are likely to be aid to other developing countries, and last of all aid to developed countries which have no special political or economic claims. Altogether, OPEC members have made aid commitments totalling 9,000 million pounds sterling during the past four years. During the past year, their aid commitments totalled 3,000 million or over 3 per cent of their GNP-about 10 times the average proportion of GNP given to aid by the OECD countries.
Other
Reserves
.After meeting these demands, how much is left? Figures, especially for future operations, are speculative. The current account surpluses of the oil exporters during the past year are variously estimated at from 27,000 million pounds to 33,000 million, with about the same expected for 1975. The reserves now held by the OPEC countries are estimated at between 16,500 million pounds and 21,000 million, most of it held in banks in the US, Britain and Western Europe. An estimated increase of 28,250 million pounds in the world’s oil import bill looks daunting when expressed in terms of the non-Communist world’s monetary reserves (about 35 per cent) or its total exports (about 25 per cent). But in terms- of the required transfer of real resources to the oil-producing countries, it may not be so enormous and unmanageable as it seems. Professor Triffin, the Harvard economist and international money expert, has pointed out that in terms of GNP it represents only 1.4 per cent for the US, 4.3 per cent for Japan and less than 4 per cent
for Western Europe. He comments: “Spread over two or three years, such transfers would amount to only a fraction of a single year’s increase in GNP, i.e., well below the impact of similar changes in the terms of trade or of cyclical fluctuations in general often experienced in the past by all countries.”
-
Western
Debt
Nevertheless, Western exports could not quickly be boosted to such levels; and meanwhile, OPEC will build up huge reserves, and some of the oil importers will
accumulate enormous debts. Britain, France and Italy now each have oil payments deficits running at between 2,500 million and 4,000 million pounds sterling a year. Britain’s deficit is substantially, if precariously offset by oil money kept on deposit in sterling-in other. words, on short-term loan to British banks. Unless the oil producers choose to leave more oil in the-ground, there is nowhere else to invest their money than in the Western industrialised world-(either directly or indirectly by financing purchases from the industrial countries by the poorer nations). But the real problem of ‘recycling’ is how to ensure that enough of the oil money goes to the economically weak industrial countries, such as Italy, and not only to those, like the US, Britain and West Germany, which already attract most investment. The American plan, proposed last November by Dr. Kissinger and the US Treasury Secretary, Mr. William Simon, is to set up a 25,000 million dollar ( 1,100 mill- ^ ion pounds) fund to bail out the industrial nations. The fund would be financed by those industrial countries holding surplus oil money. The International Monetary Fund,would be left to help th% developing countries. The British have proposed creating a recycling fund within the IMF and contributed to mainly by the oil producers. The IMF president has himself proposed something similar. The West Germans do not like the Kissinger-Simon plan because it would involve them in too big a contribution. They and the European Commission favour a mixture of bilateral or multi-lateral loans guaranteed through the Community and the Bank of International Settlements. The question of the framework of the fund may seem academic, but it marks a crucial difference between the American and European approaches to the oil question. Dr Kissinger and Mr Simon have both made it plain that the main purpose of their fund is to back up their central strategy of forcing down oil prices and, if possible, break OPEC’s hitherto united front. The aim here is as much political as economic-to reassert Western and especially American power, both in the direction of the world economy and in world political influence. Therefore, the recycling fund should be kept within Western and primarily American control, both as a means of whipping the Western oil con- , sumers into a common front and in order to exclude any say in it for the oil producers.
US Hardline The constant hints coming from Washington, most recently from Dr Kissinger himself, of the possible use of force againsi the oil countries seems to be all part of this tough strategy. Dr Kissinger’s remarks may have also been intended as a warning to the Arabs against tl new and more severe embargo in the event of another Arab-Israeli war. The Europeans, on the other hand, have never believed that oil prices could be forced down. They regard co-operation with the oil producers as absolutely essential, and a strategy of confrontation, as planned by the US, as fatal. Hence they prefer to have oil funds handled through the IMF or other international institutions in which the oil producers might make a bigger contribution if they also had a bigger say. The Europeans are, of course, all the time conscious that the consequences of an unsuccessful confrontation could be far worse for them than for the US. At a pinch, the US could probably survive without imported OPEC oil, but Western Europe could not. Behind the haggling over economic detail lies a very big political question. Is the ~ West to attempt a kind of counterrevolution against the raw material producers of the Third World who have challenged its traditional economic hegemony? Or is it to recognise that a basic shift of world economic power has taken place and that a new, more equal and co-operative relationship must-now be negotiated? Not only Europe’s economic welfare but world peace itself may depend on the answer.

article is based on a chapter
from The

If ever in world history awareness of the destructiveness and brutality of war and the relative power of military systems might have been expected fo increase efforts to abolish the military system and to increase the prospects for doing so, it should have been by now. Instead, we have witnessed the demise of even major efforts to end war. Whether to be held in reserve to back up one’s p&ition in international negotiations, to deter attack by adequate preparations, or to defend in case of attack, military systems have been believed necessary since no other way to fulfil1 those functions of deterrence and defense has been seen to exist. It has been commonly believed that the alternative to war is impotence, cowardice and passive submission, j and that perc$ption of ordinary people has -been shared by statesmen, policy makers, intellectuals and academics. Even nuclear and similar weapons have not changed this, for people believe that, though they normally ought not to be launched, their existence will prevent attack, and thus provide safety and avoid helplessness. All this is fully compatible with the application of Robert Merton’s “basic theorem” to the problem of war. For Merton postulated that efforts to remove a basic structure without providing an alternative structure for fulfilling its function would be doomed to failure. The need for defense of a society, dts populace, its institutions, way of life and the like, is such a basic societal need that in conditions of perceived and actual threats of attack, the military system will not be abandqned when it is perceived that this will leave the society helpless and defenseless in
meeting real or imagined dangers. Yet thiS is what proposals for abandonment of war and the military syste_m have alm’ost always meant or been perceived to inean. \
Separating
Structures Function
and
jan
VVh@ i
Peace movements and most peace proposals have in their assumptions and analyses often confused structure and function, conftised institution and job, or instrument and task. Exponents of peace have largely accepted the identity of the structure (the military system and war) with its perceived most justified functions (deterrence and defense), just as have the exponents and practitioners of the war system itself. The simple distinction between structure and function, or instrument and task, applied to war and defense may free us from the axiomatic presumption of the identity of defense with the military system, and enable us to ask whether there can be alternative means of defense which are not military, a question which to most people has been inconceivable. The world, much less politics, is not divided neatly into violence and non-violence. There are many intermediary phenomena, and many which are neither violent or nbnviolent . .,
Nonviolent struggle Our awareness and understanding of the nonviolent counterpart of violent struggle is generally shar-ply limited and filled with so many serious distortions and errors of fact that an initial effort is usually requiyd to free our minds from inaccurate perceptions of this type of struggle which we have accumulated from .a culture in which belief in violence as the ultimate f&m of power and as the most significant single fact in history-both of which are now challenged-are fundamental axioms. This belief in the omnipotence of violence, and ignorance of the power of poy?ular nonviolent struggle, may have also been compa’tible with the ,interests of past dominating elites who did not want people to realize their power potefitial. Unfortunately, it may be necessary to indicate some of the things that nonviolent action is not. This technique is the opposite of passivity, submissiveness and cowardice. Nonviolent action uses social, economic,-psychological and political power in the matching of forces in conflict, and is not to be equated with verbal or purely psychological persuasion. This means of struggle does not assume that man is inherently “good.” This is not “‘pacifism”; in fact, predominantly, this technique has been used by “ordinary” people who never became pacifists and some pacifists find it offensive. Nonviolent conflict may operate even in cases of extreme social distance between contending groups. This technique is probably more “Western” than “Eastern.” It is designed to combat a violent opponent, and does not presume a’nonviolent response to the nonviolent challenge. This technique may be used for both “good” and “bad” causes, though thesocial consequences of its use for “bad” causes differs sharply from that of violence. While violence is believed to work fast, and nonviolent action slowly, often violence takes a long time and nonviolent struggle may operate extremely quickly. Finally, nonviolent action is not limited to domestic conflfcts within a democratic system; it has been used widely against dictatorial regimes, foreign occupations, and even totalitarian systems, and it has already been used without advance preparations internationally even in improvised national defense struggles. It has been widely thought that, foi- the most part, politically
significant
nonviolent
struggle
began with
Ghandi. We now know that it has a rich and vast history which we are only beginning to piece together which goes back at least to several centuries B.C., and ranges over many cultures, continents, countries, historical periods, issues, types of groups and opponents. Instead of the list of specific methods,- or forms, of action included within this technique being relatively few, a dozen or so as was once thought, we now know that even with a’partial
listing the number is at least 198, arranged in three main classes of nonviolent protest and persuasion (the milder forms), noncooperation (including boycotts of social relations, economic boycotts, Strikes and political noncooperation), and nonviolent intervention. It was thought by &me that conversion of the. opponent by the sufferings of the nonviolent actionists was the only, or at least the best, way in which nonviolent action produced change. We now know that this is not true, and that nonviolent struggle can also be coercive, possibly even more so than violence against an obstinate opponent. This is because nonviolent struggle is capable of severing the various sources of the opponent?s power, as by massive civil disobedience of the population as a whole paralyzing the political system, strikes by workers

The case of Czechoslovakia in 196869 is the closest to what is envisaged-a nonviolent war of resistance which in the end seems to have been lost. But we learn from lost military wars and we can learn from lost nonviolent wars. According to some reports, the Russians anticipated military resistance from the able Czech army, and expected they could overcome it and install a puppet government within fourdays. Despite very considerable Czechoslovak military capacity based on years of preparations and training, the obvious futility of military resistance in face of five invading, armies including that of the Soviet Union produced a decision not to resist with military force. Instead, an unljrepared, improvised nonviolent resistance occurred which despite serious problems, and apparent major strategic errors, and sometimes without adequate assistance from the official leadership, managed initially to frustrate completely the Russian efforts to install a puppet government in spite of the distribution of troops throughout the country, and to force negotiations with leaders (some, as Dubcek, already arrested and kidnapped) whose country was already totally occupied and whose army had never entered the field-conditions under which negotiations should not have been required or expected! Even after those negotiations, such resistance in less dramatic forms in fact maintained- the Dubcek regime, so hated by the Russians, in power (after their release from arrest and imprisonment) until April of 1969-eight months! Even then, it can be argued, the demise resulted more from the collapse of resistance by the government and Party at a time of anti-Russian riots (a break in the nonviolent discipline, possibly caused by agents provocateurs) than it did from any intrinsic weakness in the means of resistance. Significant other cases of nonviolent resistance can be classed as nonviolent struggle for national defense. <These include the Hungarian struggle against Austria for home rule 1850 to 1867, and Finland’s struggles against Russification; especially 1898 to 1905. Even the Ghandian struggles in India against British rule are those of an occupied country seeking restoration of independence-surely an international conflict. During World War II, Norwegian, Danish and Dutch resistance against the Nazi occupations and certain other anti-Nazi struggles, including efforts to save the Jews, produced some modest but significant victories. Some of these actions had the support of, or were even initiated by, the government-in-exile:
A Basis for a Substitute /War?
servants paralyzing the iny by soldiers destroyf, and in many other subtle ways. ost always been improareness of the past hise. It has usually been :adership, or without . understanding of the I comprehension of its less, without preparaalyses of past conflicts, -id tactics, without conweaponry”, and often ong the actionists that pe of struggle. In short, nstances possible have
accompanied the use of this technique. In contrast, for many centuries military struggle has benefited from conscious efforts to improve its effectiveness in all the ways in which nonviolent action has lacked. Certain forms of nonviolent action are used internationally far more frequently than recognized -such as embargoes, freezing the assets of another country., economic boycotts, cancellation of planned conferences and diplomatic visits, refusal of diplomatic recognition, and the like. Other forms-which are far more relevant to our are the cases of widespread civilian resisanalysistance against invasion forces and occupation regimes. The presumption that nonviolent struggle is only appropriate to domestic conflicts is not valid.
for
Nonviolent action generally, and- its use for national defense purposes, have never even yet‘received systematic efforts to develop its capacity, to increase its effectiveness, and to expand the areas of its utility. The nonviolent technique is thus an underdeveloped political technique, probably at the stage comparable to violent intergroup conflict several thousand years ago, hence, nonviolent struggle to date may only have revealed a small fraction of its potential fighting power and effectiveness. Specifically, the question posed is whether a national defense policy for both small and large countries can be created by the capacity of the civilian population, trained, prepared, knowledgeable, in the wielding of nonviolent struggle, to make impossible the consolidation and maintenance of control by an invading force or a coup d’etat.
Is It -Possible?-
.
This type of policy is called civilian defense, that is direct defense of the society, its principles, people, way of life, chosen institutions, right to maintain or change itself, by action of the civilian population as a whole, and their institutions, using civilian (nonmilitary, nonviolent) means of struggle. It should go without saying that this is not a panacea and diverse ’ other programs are needed to help meet many other , needs.
Remarkably, this approach-which on a serious level of policy presentation is only about fifteen \ years old-has thus far received the most serious .attention from people regarded as hard-headed realists, strategists, defense analysts, planners, and military officers, and least serious attention from people who have thought themselves peace-minded, liberal, radical and humanitarian. The response is as yet small, but it includes the official research interest and efforts of one Defense Department-that of Sweden. In that country it has also become a major topic of public discussion. In various countries there are now books and other publications on the subject in several European languages and Japanese. Thus within fifteen years, this idea has bee? transformed -
from the realm of the “crackpot” idea to a strategic proposal receiving serious thought from most unlikely people. It is popular today to’pronounce that war is inevitable because of man’s aggressive nature, and hence some conclude that this nonviolent thing is all non- ,’ sense. That is not the view of significant writers on aggression. Konrad Lorenz has insisted: “. . . modern war has become an institution and. . . being an institution war can be abolished.” Robert Ardrey, no less, has asserted: “We must be nonviolent. Yes, we can do it-but are we going to have to work at it .” Civilian defense is set forth for study and research as a possible functional substitute for war, as a means of abolishing war while providing real defense by nonviolent means against tyrants and aggressors. If it could be made to work at least as well as military means, it would be possible for individual countries, alone or in groups, without waiting on others, to.transarm, that is to change over to this defense system. This wouldbe possible (in contrast to disarmament) because if it works civilian defense will maintain or increase defense capacity while making possible abandonment of military means. It would thus by-pass the most serious blockage to disarmament proposals, fear of reduced fighting capacity or an unfavourable relative fighting capacity.
Four Tasks
\
A&vast amount of research, analysis and problemloriented investigations is required to examine whether this approach to provide a functional substitute for the military system is indeed a fruitful one, and whether, and if so how, the multitude of difficult problems associated with it can be solved. These problems include such questions as the means of training and preparations, how to handle the transarmament period, ways to meet the particular defense needs of particular countries, and the potential of this policy (compared with violence) in confronting successfully the most extreme and ruthless regimes. * That may sound rather large. But considering the seriousness of our problems, this is a very modest proposal. If the research should reveal this to be a false hope, it would be worth the money and effort to know. But, after all, what if we could develop.an effective substitute for war? l

MEETING
Fall ‘74 emerged as the term of “Newness” in Intramurals. Five new programs like fitness classes, softball and Rugby Tourname.nts, badminton instruction were added to the program. New champions were crowned in Golf (Terry Redvers-Alumni), Greek Students and a Staff team from the Computing Center became the new A&B Soccer kings. Kin and E.S.S. captured the Basketball titles, and a faculty member. R. Brown set a new record in the Engineering Challenge Run. The first time jogging package was accepted by over 75 joggers. E.S.S. and Conrad Grebel were new . Hockey Champions. New concepts were.tried to equalize competition and make the recreational level more enjoyable in that A, B and sometimes C levels and open tournaments were tried. As a result of this new approach to lntramurals over 5,000 individuals per week were ir,volved\in some form of Intramural Activity. Continuing with the “What’s new for ‘75” theme, renewed emphasis is being placed on (1) improving the quality of officiating and coaching at the competitive level. (2) the enjoyment factor in the recreational level. (3) increasing the effectiveness,pf the co-instructional program. (4) enhancing the interest in the extremely viable Co-ed Athletic Club Programs. New programs include an English Squash Tournament, jogging and weight-training program and skiing instruction. In general, the Intramural Program is not entirely new-it is still fun, enjoyable, varied and exciting. What could be new is your PARTICIPATION. Maybe we’ll hit a NEW all time high in‘ usage-let’s try for 6,000 participants a week. That is really NEW. -peter hopkins

Puckers at btirn Third tonite tourney win The University of Waterloo hockey Warriors saw their first action of 1975, Saturday (January 4, 1975) when they met the York University Yeomen in an exhibition game at the Waterloo arena. In an exhibition game between these same two teams, -played on October 29, 1974, the Yeomen defeated the Warriors by a score of 5-4. The Warriors who have been gradually rounding into their championship form of last season and removed the shadow of that defeat from the record with a victory over the Yeomen on Saturday. The Warriors were runnersup to the Loyola Warriors in the eightteam tournament held in Sudbury over the Christmas break. The competition was very strong and the Warriors went into overtime before going down at the hands of the Warriors. ’ In spite of missing the three games of the Sudbury Tournament, Ron Hawkshaw and Mike Guimond still lead the Hockey Warriors in scoring. ’ Guimond and Hawkshaw have been in Europe with the Canadian National Student Team for a series of games in Austria and Czechoslovakia. The basketball Warriors fresh from their win in the Carleton University Basketball Tournament will wing away to Florida on Sunday, January 5, 1975. The Basketball Warriors will,‘play four games in Central Florida. On January 6, the Warriors will meet Eckerd College in St. Petersburg. On the 7th the Warriors will Ilieet Florida Southern in Lakeland; on the 8th they play St. Leo’g College in St. Leo Florida and on the 9th, the Warriors will meet Rollins College in Orlando, Florida. Rollins College is coached by Ed Jucker. Jucker was the head coach at the University of Cincinnati and with the Cincinnati Royals in the days of the Big “O”, Oscar Robertson. The Florida excursion will not be a drain on the budget of the Athletic Department in any way. The trip is financed by the guarantees from the host universities plus a small contribution from the participating players.
The Waterloo Warriors continued their winning ways over the past Christmas holidays in a tournament held at Carleton University in Ottawa. Carleton University, Simon Fraser University, A,cquinas College and University of Waterloo all participated in the tournament won convincingly by the Warriors. It was their third straight tournament championship in Ontario. The Warriors had newly-’ acquired Art White in the lineup and his acquisition reaped benefits in the tournament games. White is a 6’6” forward from New York who has had pro tryouts with the New York Nets in the A.B.A. and the Milwaukee Buts of the N.B.A. His good rebounding skills should help Mike Moser carry the rebounding burden. White also owns a good outside shot which adds another dimension to the Warriors offensive strategy. The Warriors defeated Acquinas College from Grand Rapids, Michigan in their first game 91-83. Bill Robinson led the team in scoring with 28 points followed by Art White who hit for 20. Charlie Chambers, Mike Moser, and Trevor Briggs also made valuable contributions in scoring 15, 14, and 10 points respectively. The Warriors were matched _ against Simon Fraser University in the title contest and won handily 102-66. Moser, as in most pressure contests, rose to the occassion with a devastating performance. Mike hit for 14 for 15 from the field and totalled 33 points. Robinson sank 14 points against his old teammates while White made his presence felt by chipping in with 12 points. Moser and Robinson once, again dominated post tournament awards as they were voted co-winners of the MVP trophey . The Warriors are currently engaged in a four-game tour in Florida but will be returning for a league game on January 15 against crosstown rivals, Wilfrid Laurier .

I have been following the fuss over the ’ Baskin-Robbins inanities and your coverage of them. Congratulations on the back page of the Chevron of one week ago. But why stop there? I notice the following statement under your masthead of December 6: “answer this: do we need baskin=robbins banana splits to survive? hundreds of thousands of people around the world can’t get enough staples and are dying by the hundreds of hunger. How can we justify eating (wasting) thousands of - calories of food just for a friendly contest? boycott baskin-robbins and every other establishment which encourages waste ‘and decadence,. ’ ’ Then on the’back page of this present edition, I notice the appeal for students to vote Yes to-OFS which is “fighting for, among other -things, student pubs. .” Let me rephrase your above quotation. : ‘Answer this:‘do we need beer to survive? Hundreds of thousands of people around the world can’t even get enough staples and are dying by the hundreds of hunger. How can we justify drinking up (wasting) thousands of calories of grain daily in the’ pursuit of happiness on campus? Boycott campus pubs, and every other establish.ment which encourages waste and decadence. Also vote No to OFS.”
- ’ ‘.‘Renison Both of us are presently full-time stu-, dents at RenisonCollege. We are taking the initiative as concerned students in presenting our views on the current situation at Renison. b We feel very strongly that your decisions implemented during the past few months have been contrary to the true ‘Christian and democratic spirit one expects at a church college such as Renison. A few’ factual examples will illustratehow such acts have effectively split the students as well as faculty into opposing factions. The most blatant .example being the speech delivered on the night of Nov. 22, 1974 which served to further widen the chasm already in existance between students and faculty. Furthermore, this speech in its content and delivery seemed to us totally ‘unchristian’ and made a mockery of the values of the college. ’ The fact that the firings of three teachers -. without student consultation or input was a direct rebuttal of the democratic process. We are totally opposed to such unilateral ‘decisions. Through conversations with fellow stu-
. .
dents, it has become quite evident to us that seemingly pertinent information about this “Renison affair” has been available to_ select individuals through the administration at Renison. This tactic has further assisted in breaking down the-unity of the student body at the college. After the first heat .of the firings died down, it became quite evident that an impartial decision could not be made by any of the parties involved in resolving the conflict; We realized that outside arbitration was needed to resolve the crisis. We question your reluctance to accept CAUT arbitration. What have you to lose? What have you to hide? It seems quite clear to us that you have two choices open: ‘Adopt CAUT. arbitration as recommended by the faculty of arts and the University of Waterloo senate. We wish to draw your attention to the fact that these two powerful bodies grant us our degrees. Adopting CAUT arbitration will bring justice to bear on this issue and bring it to an end. This is what we wish. The alternate choice would be to continue to act in a,similar manner as last term. As you well remember, there was much student dissent during that period. In the confusion, some students did decide to leave college mid-term. Most students have not left but will continue fighting till their rights are realized and justice is done. It seems to us that if the present trend of events continues, student dissatisfaction and unrest will continue and possibly escalate. We feel that it is time you stopped dealing with us from .a position of authority and dealt with us from a human level, taking into account our needs as students. In conclusion, we feel that although this document has been the work of two individuals; these views are shared by a large _ percentage of our peers at Renison. We hope that this new year proves mutually satisfying to all those who make up the academic community at Renison,. espe: cially the students.

Western denounces muon .
It has come to our attention that two faculty members, Jeff Forest and Hugh Miller, have been released in a manner contrary to the policy guidelines of the Canadian Association of University Teachers. We also understand that a third faculty member, Marsha Forest, has been banned from the Renison campus. . Further, these firings have taken-place consultation with the without Faculty/Student Council of the College and they represent unilateral actions on the part of yourself and the Board of Governors of the Institution. Further, there is much evidence to sug-‘ gest that these firings are the result of political discrimination and represent a violation of academic freedom which is so . highly prized in the University community. Consequently as concerned individuals we deplore your actions and demand that due process be instituted to decide this case. University University

Fringe mentality ’
I
We were recently ‘not particularly amazed to read Bruce Duncan’s observation that the technologically-oriented students of Waterloo display a “fringe mentality”. Of course they display a kind of mindlessness, in general, but so- do\ most students here. Snow’s terminology had an underlying implication that the really important distinctions between the members of his “Two Cultures” are to be made at some intellectual level above that at which most Waterloo students operate and at which a rudimentary “intellectuality” has already appeared. Having said the above; we would like to express our support and appreciation of Duncan’s later letter in the Dec. 6th chgvron on the subject of laboratory animals. . He expresses concerns which do not seem to arise very often in the minds of people who make use or misuse of animals in their work. Here, surely, is something which I Duncan finds abhorrent in the attitude of students (and faculty) at Waterloo, but which naturally concerns those students (and faculty) who happen to be involved with the Biological Scie&e,s. However, rather than being an aspect of a “fringe mentality”, the disregard for needless suffering of laboratory animals is just a part of the “anything for marks” mentality which flourishes rfght across the faculties. Whilst we can set aside the question of the morality of the use of animals in medical training or by genuine pre-medical students as debatable, how could anybody justify the use of large numbers of animals just to give credits to Waterloo’s masses and jobs to the hypocrites who teach them? If anyone reading this missed Duncan’s letter, ,he/she should get a copy of December 6th’s chevron, because it contains something important. Steve Gregory Grad Physics Betty Trott Gregory‘ Alumna

I want to thank the three people who responded to ‘my letter on fringe mentalities in science because it is through criticism, that new perspectives are born and re-examination of-concepts initiated. I have reread my own letter several times now and agree that the impression is created that almost all science students are narrowminded when it comes to their views of science and art. I did not say that we all are and I did not intend to imply that almost all of us are. I apologize for creating that impression But I cannot agree with Bill Murray (Feedback, December 6) that this narrowmindedness is expressed by “only a small minority of students”. My personal experience is that a large number of students display a fringe mentality and I find this depressing. I am not “intolerant to the interests and values of science students”; rather, I am depressed by the interests and values of fringe mentalities and since my experience is with science students at this university, it is they who I am, criticizing. Many arts students; I agree, are probably equally as narrowminded as the’ science students in question. . .I did not deny this in my original letter. Let me also defend myself against the logic in the statement that “these values are not (my) own and (I) therefore consider them the sign of a shallow and uncomprehending mind”. That I do not share the perspectives ofthe fringe mentality is certainly not the reason I feel that their perspectives are inadequate. And lastly, that my stand constitutes bigotry is, in my opin-. ’ ion, an unfounded statement. -. . Bruce Duncan

The following reports bring the Warrior Basketball team up to date, since the report in the last chevron. The Waterloo Warriors began their quest for a fourth straight O.U.A.A. Western Division chapionship by defeating the Windsor Lancers Dec. 4 by a low &ore of 63-54 in Waterloo. The Lancers and Warriors are rated the two top teams in Ontario but the game gave no indication of this. The game was marred by poor refereeing and sloppy playing.

acuity . tenwe ’ .report, ommitte The following feature contains the report of the University of Waterloo Faculty Association’s Tenure Committee on certain grievances against Renison College which were brought before the association. Also cQntained is a short history of the Renisdn affair since the firing of Hugh Miller, Jeff Forest and Marsha Forest, .all professors at Renison College.
This is a report of the University of Waterloo Faculty Associations Tenure Committee on certain grievances against Renison College which were brought before it. The report is presented to the Association’s Executive for acceptance _ along with certain recommendations for approval.
The Committee’s Investigation The Committee first examined written materials which Prof. McDonald had gathered from the four complainants and others. Included in these materials were formal-letters of complaint to the Faculty Association, letters of appointment and dismissal, as well as other communications between the College and the complainants. Letters between the Association and Renison College were also included. Because Prof. McDonald had carried out the initial investigations and had tried to mediate the grievances informally, he presented a comprehensive chronology of his work in these two areas. The Committee then invited written and oral presentadions from the four complainants and from the Principal of Renison College, Prof. Towler, the former Acting P&rcipal, Prof. M’Timkulu, and the Chairman of the Board, Mr. Wm. Townshend. The Committee received presentations from the four complainants, Prof. Towler (assisted by the College’s solicitor, Mr. Haney), various other faculty members of Renison, and Renison students. The Committee tape-recorded oral submissions and also kept a shorthand record of them. From these materials the Committee has compiled the following report.
The Four Cases The cases differ in significant respects and must therefore be dealt with separately. 1. On October 31st Prof. Hugh Miller was given notice of dismissal from his probationary appointment as assistant professor and from his administrative appointment as Academic Dean effective December 3 1st. The causes listed expressly referred only to his alleged “failure to carry out those duties of Academic Dean”. These causes simply, do not support his dismissal from an assistant professorship. Academic reasons for his dismissal have been stated by the Principal of Renison. However, these were stated more than three weeks after Miller was given notice of dismissal. These reasons were never given to Miller prior to his dismissa in a form which indicated “dismissal was contemplated. Most\ importantly, Miller has never been given a proper academic forum in which to contest any of the reasons for dismissal. 2. On October 31st Prof. Jeffrey Forest was given notice of termination of his probationary contract effective April 30th. The termination of his contract was carried out under a clause which allows either .,-party to break the contract by giving six ‘..
months’ notice prior to the end of Winter Term. No reasons were given for notice of termination of contract. It is the College’s argument that none need be given under current contract law. The College’s solicitor has also argued that this is not a proper grievance for the Faculty Association because no dismissal has taken place. Whatever legal standards may be, the Committee addressed itself to this case from the point of view of proper academic standards. The appointment offered to and accepted by Frof. Forest contains an explicit commitment to consider him for reappointment to further probationary contracts. Moreover, the contract is clearly described as “probationary” both in the contract itself and in the letter of dismissal. If we accept Mr. Haney’s argument that Forest has not been dismissed, then we must ask what has happened to his connexion with the College? It is our conviction that sound academic practice dictates that unless a faculty member holding a probationary appointment resigns or-does not have his appointment renewed he must be dismissed for cause in the proper way. To tolerate any other practice would undermine the ‘whole purpose of e.probationary appointments. Even if we are wrong on this point there is still ample reason for the Association’s - concern. The Principal, Prof. Towler, has repeatedly stated reasons for the termination of Prof. Forest’s contract. In these statements Prof. Towler has made allegations concerning both Prof. Forest’s academic competence and his professional behaviour. These have not been stated as reasons for dismissal to Prof. Forest. Neither has Prof.’ Forest been given a proper academic forum in which to respond to these allegations. 3. In a memorandum and in another statemsnt, the Principal of Renison has accused Prof. Webber of unprofessional behaviour. Prof. Webber has not been given an opportunity to respond to these allegations in a proper academic forum. 4. On October 31st Prof. Towler informed Prof. Marsha Forest that she did not have a cross-appointment to Renison. Since such appointments seem to be a kind of ‘courtesy appointment’, the College does not seem to have contravened CAUT standards. However, Prof. Towler also informed Prof. Forest that she could not “attend faculty or student meetings unless expressly invited to do so by the Principal”. This raises the possibility that the normal academic freedom of both Prof. Forest and Renison faculty and students is being significantly restricted. Our fears on this mat-. ter are diminished but not completely allayed by the Principal’s statement that although he would discourage the issuance of invitations to Prof. Forest by Renisop stu,dents or faculty, he would allow Prof. Forest to visit Renison as an invited guest. Prof. Towler has also made certain charges concerning Prof. Forest’s conduct and qualifications. .
The Principal’s Actions Ordinarily the above statement of violations of the CAUT Policy on Academ‘ic Appointments and Tenure would be suf$ cient for making a recommendation that the first three cases be referred to the Academic Freedom and Tenure Committee of CAUT. However, this is not an ordinary situation. Further comment is necessary before presenting our recommendations.
’ 1. It has been argued that because Renison lacks any procedures for dealing with questions of dismissal or any other faculty grievances it cannot develop and -apply procedures retrospectively. There are several points to be made id reply. First, before this crisis began Oct. 29th, the Principal did check on proper procedures with the Executive Secretary ofCAUT and the President of this Association. Both told him what these/procedures were. Both sent him copies of the .CAUT Handbook. The Association President also provided him with a copy of-the University of Waterloo Tenure Policy. Second, the Principal had available to him the experience of administrative officers of this University; we are certain that if he had asked for advice he would have been told to develop and act under proper procedures. Third, after October 31st, the President of the Faculty Association did frequently offer advice on the development and use of proper procedures. In this he was at times informally assisted by the’ Chairman of CAUT’s Academic Freedom and Tenure Committee.‘From these three points it should be clear that the College did not have to invent procedures de novo. The College di,d have offered to it at least two working models of procedure which it could have chosen to follow.
’
Fourth, the President of the Faculty Association has urged the College to put these grievances to binding arbitration with the arbitrators chosen from outside Renison. The faculty members in question have agreed to this. This should answer the argument that the College was too small and in too much turmoil to apply these proce, dures. Fifth, in the last analysis, this argument is reducible to the contention that in the absence of procedures an academic institution can proceed in any way that it wishes so long as it does not contravene the law. This is quite unacceptable. 2. We have already said that the Principal of Renison, Prof. Towler, has made certain allegations concerning the four complainants and has not allowed them to respond in the appropriate setting. We must comment on the way in which these charges have been made and delivered. On November 21st Prof. Towler sent
memoranda to Prof. Jeffrey Forest and Prof. Webber. In these he listed complaints that he had received concerning alleged unethical treatment of colleagues and students. The allegations were stated in the most general language and gave no indication of the time, place, or context of the alleged offences. Further, the Principal wrote: “I should like a written response from you with regard to the above by 5 p.m. today, otherwise, I shall assume that these comments are valid.” When responses were delivered at 5 p.m. the Principal had left his office for the day. However, most of the charges made against the four professors were not given to them in writing. Nor were they given an opportunity (however slight) to respond. In fact, these charges were made by Prof. Towler in a speech to over two hundred Renison students and faculty. Prof. Towler did, however, tell those present to write ‘confidential’ on the copies of the speech he had distributed after the meeting. After giving this speech Prof. Towler sent copies to thi heads of the Church Colleges, the President, the Vice-President Academic,. all the Deans, and several Chairmen. 3. The Committee ‘was puzzled by the chronology of events a/t Renison. From the evidence, it appeared that no serious complaints had been lodged against any of the four before this fall. Indeed, Prof. J. Forest* had received a letter of commendation ’ from Prof. M’Timkulu in the summer of 1974. In March Prof. Miller had been given an appointment as Academic Dean running six months beyond the expiration of his probationary appointment. Given overlapping vacations and summer work, the Principal and the four participants came into-a working relationship about the beginning of September. In the early part of September the Principal seems to have had no serious complaints concerning these pro- _ fessors. Indeed, on various occasions he praised the Forests for their openness and teaching abilities. The Committee could not help but wonder how since that time the Principal could have acquired sufficient reason for dismissing Forest and Miller, banning M. Forest from Renison, and late? issuing serious charges against M. Webber. From the testimony of the parties concerned we do know that Prof. Towler did present a few student complaints concerning teaching methods and course content to the Forests. It is our belief that the Principal simply conveyed these complaints and did’not indicate his acceptance of them. Nor does it appear that he ever indicated they were grounds for dismissal. We have heard convincing testimony that the Forests im-mediately took into account at. least some of these complaints concerning teaching methods and modified their approach accordingly . Prof. Towler also met once with Prof. Miller in part to discuss the latter’s academic credentials. Again there seemed to be no indication of impending dismissal nor even of possible non-renewal of Miller’s contract. (In violation of his contract, Miller had not been notified before September concerning renewal.) Yet on October 28th the Principal told the President of the Faculty Association that he was prepared to act against the Forests and Miller. Some of the reasons he gave then concerned academic credentials and their treatment of students and colleagues. We do not believe that Prof. Towler ever adequately conveyed these to the individuals involved or that he had sufficient time in which to authenticate these charges. 4. Prof. Towler made very &rious allegations concerning the four professors in his speech to,Renison Students and faculty. The Committee looked at these charges in the light of a question put in the GAUT Handbook (p. 67) about dismissals but clearly of broader significance: “ . . . whether the decision to dismiss was fairly reached and is rationally supported in the light of (CAUT’s) principles both pro- ’ cedural and substantive”. To answer this

auestion we had to look at the kinds of i.vidence presented in support of the Principal’s decisions. In his speebh, Prof. Towler- said: Each of the statements I shall fully accurate, read is documented, a sworn testimony and will stand up in a court of’law . It has been checked and approved by the College’s attorney and all of the signed statements supporting it are now in his vault. (Association Transcript of Oral Remarks made by Towler, 25/l l/74, P- 6)
When Prof. ‘Towler gave oral testimotiy to the Committee, 60th he and the College’s solicitor, Mr. Haney, read portions of letters from students as evidence for the charges made. When asked about letters and petitions from students who wished to- deny these allegations, Prof. Towler questioned their truthfulness. Prof. Towler was also asked why several of the student letters cited were written on the same date‘, November 6th. He said that he and other faculty riiembers had asked certain students to put their complaints into writing. The Committee also asked about a statement quoted by Prof. Towler in his speech, namely that Dr. M‘Timkulu said that he had doubts regarding Prof. .I. Forest’s qualifications so he “,made sure to insert the clause in his (probationary) contract which allows either party to break the contract after due six months’ notice has been _given”. Mr. Haney said that Dr. M‘Timkulu had made this statement on November 19th, 1974. From previous testimony, the Committee learned that other probationary contracts issued by Renison in 1973 contained the same clause. Further we received evidence that in the facultystudent committee which recommended Prof..Forest’s hiring there was no discussion of such a clause being inserted in his contract or of any reasons for such action‘. This whole procedure of gathering and compiling evidenc\e is suspect. First, by carefully culling through material and ignoring or dismissing that which does not support one’s case one can prove nearly anything. Secondly, gathering evidence after the fact is not a proper way of justifying one’s previous actions; indeed it invites the charge of manufacturing evidence. Thirdly, for faculty members and particularly those in high administrative positions to ask students to submit negative letters about other faculty members, particularly in an atmosphere of crisis arid fear, comes perilously close to intimidating students.
or&r to prevent him reaching a settlement with Renison. Since the issues of integrity and of pressure on Prof. Miller have been raised, the Committee itself would like to make a comment on these issues. The Committee considers that a procedure which involves first sending a letter of dismissal to. a faculty member and then offering to negotiate is intolerable. It sets up a situation in which the faculty member concerned has to negotiate with a gun held to his head. It also casts doubts on the validity of the reasons for dismissal, and on the motives of the person who sent the letter of dismissal.
Political Issue As a result of its hearings the Committee came to the conclusion that the written and public charge’s made against the four faculty members did not make explicit some of the fundamental reasons which the College had for taking action in three of the . ‘four cases, riamely those of Profs. J. Forest, M. Forest and M. Webber. These reasons .are political. The Committee naturally hesitates before making the grave charge that Prof. Towler considers the holding of left-wing political views, in itself and independently of any effect this might have upon such matters as classroom performance, to provide reasonable grounds for not retaining a person at Renison College. However, Prof. Towler himself made it clear to the Committee that he did consider the political reason an adequate one. Moreover, Prof. Towler’s remarks to the Committee cast light on the significance of the following iqcident: on September 12th, 1974, Prof. Towler appeared outside the door of a class taught by J. and M. Forest,
Concluding Remarks In their meeting with the Committee, Prof. Towler and Mr. Haney raised the question of Prof. McDonald’s integrity. They seemed to feel that his attempts at mediation precluded his making any objective. judgements about the Renison situation. The other members of the Committee (Prof. Ord and Prof. Ashworth) would like to make two points in reply tcsthis accusation. First, the CAUT policy quoted earlier explicitly states that the chairman of a grievance committee should “attempt informal mediation between the faculty member and the relevant administrative officer.” Sec.ond, informal mediation is not incompatible with actively supporting a faculty member’s demand for proper procedures, since this support can be given independently of judgements about the substantial issues. Profs. Ord and Ashworth have read the letters written by Prof. McDonald asd heard his testimony, and they would like to state unequivocally their belief that Prof. McDonald acted in a fair and proper manner throughout the period of informal negotiation. Profs. Ord and Ashworth would also like to state that they see no evidence that Prof. McDonald did, as Prof. Towler further suggested, apply pressure to Prof. Miller in

and was invited in by them. He picked up a textbook with a political title, and proceeded to lecture the class on politics in the classroom. He later explained that he did this because a member of the Board had received a complaint about a Marxist textbook. He admitted that he did not know the names of the class, the professor, or the textbook involved, but had merely assumed that he had found the subject of the complaint. The Committee does not wish to emphasize that it was foblish of the Principal to have made the remarks he did to members of the Tenure Committee. However, the Committee does wish to emphasize that it is unconscionable for a member of the academic community even to consider taking action against the mere holding of leftwjng political views, let alone interfering in the classroom or initiating dismissal proceedings. 3. Until the current hearings, the Corn-.
mittee members had known little about Renison College. We were very favourably impressed by what we learned about the College’s attempt to provide a progrgmme which was unique not just because of its church affiliation but because of the way it involved students and faculty members in a joint venture. There was every indication that a strong collegial atmosphere was developing at Renison. As a result, we feel a deep sense of concern at what has happened to Renison in recent months. We would like to think that had the Principal taken more time and care, he might have “come (0 appreciate the quality of Renison’s contribution to the University, and to share our concern that this contribution not be destroyed by precipitate action.

Recommendations
Histo.ry of ‘the ,renison affair Oct. 31. Towler and the Renison Board 01 Governors arbitrarily fired H. Miller, J, Forest and banned M. Forest fron the College. Now. 4. Renison students boycotted classes in protest df actions of Towler and BOG. Nov.
Having received the report of the Tenure Committee, the Faculty Association’s Executive has unanimously decided upon the following actions. 1. We strongly express our support of the principle that it is a right held by students and faculty alike on this campus to accept and issue invitations to visit all parts of this University including the church related colleges. This right is correlative with the visitor’s duty to respect the academic purposes of this University. Therefore, to insure that this right is not denied; we instruct the Tenure Committee to maintain a watching brief in the case of Prof. M. Forest. 2. Since Renison College has neither apologized to Prof. Webber for the way in which it has presented charges against her, nor for its wide distribution of those charges, we refer this matter to CAUT for investigation and action by the Academic Fre\edom and $enure Committee. Since there are indications that the allegations brought against Prof. Webber may be used in support of her dismissal, before CAUT is able to complete its investigations, we recommend that if Prof. Webber is thus dismissed then faculty members and graduate students on this campus be advised that they should not accept academic positions at Renison College until CAUT has decided on appropriate measures to be taken in this case. The only conditions under which this recommendation wili be rescinded are if Renison either withdraws the charges or allows Prof. Webber to anstier them in the manner set out in the CAUT Policy on Academic Appointments and Tenure. 3. The Executive appeals the case of Prof. J. Forest to CAUT. Further, until CAUT has made its decision on this appeal, we now warn faculty members and graduate students not to accept any kind of academic appointments at Renison College. The only condition under virhich this warning will be rescinded is if Renison College will agree to proper grievance procedures as outlined in the above mentioned CAUT Policy or if Renison will withdraw his dismissal. 4. Since in our judgement the matters presented in this report are so grave, we instruct the President of the Faculty Association to do the following: first, prior to its publication, to send copies of this report to the Renison Board of Governors; second, to read this report to the next General Meeting of the Faculty Association; third, to bring this report to the attention of the President of the University of Waterloo with the request that it be brought to the attention of the Senate and Board of Governors: fourth to bring this report to the attention of other faculty associations through OCUFk and CAUT; and fifth, to bring this report to the attention of any other persons that in his judgement can play a role in implementing these recommendaiions.
