This protectioh means that. the paper must not offend the advertisers. Since most. advertisers, if not all, work on the capitalist ideology the paper must support that line. The alternative papers, however, believe that the impotiant role of the newspaper is to disseminate knowledge, and in most cases a spedific knowledgg. ’ This spftcific knowledge was perhaps what forced the alternative papers to be created in the fir& ‘place. 5 2 ’ Many alternative newspapers were-formed by groups who had need to transmit spec’ific informa.tion to others, in-a way that the daily -press would not do. For example, many alternative papers have grown out of the gay liberation movement and the women’s movement. These movements have found that by producing their own pap&s, they ctin communicate to others, whether they be an inher; . ent part of the movement or simply others who want to find out about the movement. , The _content of these papers, is then yery specific.

But perhaps most i&bortant is the fact that if the paper is aimed at a specific group, such as the gay movement, then it is gay people that are producing the paper. This, however, does not mean a paper which deals with a specific content, such as the gay movement; the labouring class, etc. is necessaiily representative of that-entire class or movement. But there; is a definite trend for opores’sed or minority groups to band together and communicate their, ideas through a paper which they thems@ves produce. . - Although all tke.pabers produced by these various factions or movements are called alternative papers, this does not mean that they are all united in their ideologies. It simply, means that the papers deal with subjects that are not dealt with ih the daily press, or pe_rhaps more often, these papers must counter the editorial line of the daily press.

We see the need for alternative structures ,to be established, structures .which will recognize people as people, not replacable cogs in a ,redundant wheel.

paper will be financed. Due’to the politicalor culturalideology that the paper will be dealing with, advertising can be immediately ruled out. In fact many politically alternative . papers rule out advertising as being contradictory to the anti-capitalist ideology. The financing then falls upon the group who are prBducing the paper, this means either soliciting donations from people sympathetic to the cause or pooling the resources of the people producing the paper. With the increasing costs of production, newsprint, typesetting, etc., ‘the availability of the press is being severely restricted to various groups. Production costs of a sixteem page tabloid size paper, (chevron format) can run as high as $2,000; if given to a commercial pi-inter, if a typsetting co-operative is available, (such as Dumotit Press which typesets the chevron) the costs can be lowered to about $1,200. If typesetting-is not used, that is the copy is typed on ti typewriter in--. stead of being typeset by a computer, the costs can be reduced by another fdur to five hundred dollars. Therefore, it is’ a result of these high priceb and a lack qf funding that force,many alternative papers ‘to fold within a year of publication.

We believeLthat one w& to overcome the problems we face is,to participate in the life of the community. A newspaper such as this provides a means of participation. Besides the people who work on the Free Pr.ess enjoy. it. They do this because they like the work and that’s one of the things we feel every-body should work toward.

Any decision on a long range strategy for water supply will have an effect upon the direction and exte& of growth of the Waterloo Reg?on, particularly @ light of the po_licies of the provincial government.

Addressing the problem of choosing a plan of action to handle the region’s water supply, Yoting discussed the various alternatives available to the Regional Council. He stated that ‘“at the moment the ‘Lake Erie pipeline must be the favoured project from the province’s point of view.” However, Young saw problems arising out of the differ’ent plans for regional growth held by the provincial \government and the region itself. “The commitment to the Great Lakes pipelf+ is a positive commitment to growth that could force us well b.eyond our dreams of a 2% percent ,rate (of growth) .” The regiqn is proposing a‘ 2% percent rate of growth by the year 1981. If the pipeline is adopted the major part of the financing will be assumed by the province and the financial feasibility of the plan will depend in part upon a &owth in population sufficient to keep the tax burden within reason.

waterlbo city council added its weight to the growing wave of protest ’ over the pollution and waste resulting from disposeable glass containers. The councillors unanimously endorsed’ a resolution from the Township of Gloucester, in Ottawa-Carleton ~Region, asking the provificial government to legislate deposi,ts and refunds for liquor and wine- bottles, through the Liquor’ Control Board of Ontario, and encourtige retailers

to the same -for other glass L ‘containers. The motion states that “throware containers aYaY uneconomical, inefficient and cause environmental pollution.” If the experience of the Brewers Retail in Ontario is any indication of the possible success of a bottle the _ waste return * program, reduction could be great. A spokesman for the Brewers Retail said 95 to 96 p&cent, with over one billion bottles returned during 1973.

Young went on to say that “cost estimates produced for the Ministry of the Environment’s latest report on water supply are based on a year 2001, service populatioy for the KitchenerWaterloo-Cambridge area of 575,000 people. Our official plan would produce substantially less population for this megalopolis.” If the province’s estimates *are ‘hot met, Young fears that the effect would be an increase in the cost to consumers of the pipeline project. Young, in his report, was stressing the necessity of exhausting * all of the feasible alternatives before any decision was made. Previously the two alternatives had been the pipeline and the recharge system based on the Ayr reservoir. There has been much criticism of the latter because of the amount -of prime agricultural land that would be flooded, ,and the ecological ,damageX However, other alternatives’ have presented themselves of late and Young expanded uptin them. Grand

River

Flood

The inquiry currently being made into the Grand River flood of last spring is add&sing itself to the questions of additional flood control dams. Witlh the final recommendations of this inquiry still at least one year off, Young suggests that the Region use this time to investigate the feasibility and costs of augmenting the flood control capacities of these’ dams with recharge system reservoirs. He said, “It is conceivable that the Inquiry Report could recommend one or more dams for flood control to be built in the very near future. Should a dam on the Nith River -be recommended, the ’ joint use of the facility as a supply of water for artificial recharge would have obvious advantages.” If this proved to be the ccse, ,the costs of the recharge system would be greatly reduced, and-a number of different locations could be used, depending upon the location of the dams. Furthermore, it would appear that the Region is admirably suited to an extensive recharge system’ “Qistinguished professors of geology and hydrology at our universities and others who hav6 been questioned, all agree that the_ Waterloo Region has the geological attributes to make artificial recharge the definite possibility for a permanent solution, and it continued

PORTLAND, Ore. -What began back in the fall of f 972 as an impromptu appearance by a group of gay people before “the Portland City Council has culminated in the first piece of gay rights legislation anywhere in the state of Oregon. By a 3-2 vote, the council voted to ban discrimination in the hiring of city employes on the basis of sexual orientation. By the same margin it also declined to defer the matter to the voters in 1976. The resolution ,autkoriz!es the city’s personnel, department to investigate all complaints of alleged violatioqs on the basis of sexual. ori-entation in all city employment.

BOSTON-The Youth ’ Advocacy Commission of Treatment Alternq’ tives to Street Crime-Juvenile (TASC-J) of $he City of Boston has announced this week it will grant $52,371 to the Charles Street Meetinghouse to carry out a prdposed Gay Youth Advocacy Program. The grant is seen as a major advancement for the gay community of Boston as well as a striking example of a fi&t-of-its-kind program for the entire nation. The specific purpose of the program as it relates to TASC-J is to divert street crime, which in the case of homosexual adolesce&s includes hustling and hooking. As stated in the proposal, the meetinghouse advocacy staff hopes “to identify and provide, advocates for youths between the ages of 7 and 17 who need the services of existing agencies of various sorts and-for whatever reasons-have not found their way to those agencies which could best help them. Our purpose in pairicg such a,youth with an adyocaie is to avoid the former’s institutionaliza8 tion or reinstitutionalization . . . We would like ,fi) work with young , people to direct their energies toward constructive growth.**

Woman\ . , “ r /* One night this ?week I was over a.t Rochdale and asked some lesbian -\ friends of mine if they would consider actively participating in a program at CHAT that would be specifically designed to bring about more understanding between male and female homo,, sexuals. This brought from'them an emotional reaction that Ild not ex* p'edted. They vehemently refused on the basis that they wanted nothing I . to do with men - 1e.t the males fig_ure\us out all by themselves. - . ~ I

'. \

I discovered that the anger and hostility against men (and directed at me), although slightly out of proportion, was justified by their experiences with men. There was also involved deep fear of physical injury (Pe., ignorance of self-defence) and fear for physical survival (ie., "the means of production, and therefore survival, is in the hands of men.") -This, a pp a rently., is the basis ofi II sexual politics", another term that has had little meaning for me' in the past. I've never dealt with men on a sexual level because 1) , I'v+never been interested in them sexually and it shows 2) I've never, until recently, appeared attractive to men (or anyone else, for that matter) simply because I did not want to be attractive to anyone on any level,sexual 'or otherwise. I managed to get through my 25 years relatively untouched by "sexual . politics", yet I've been very close to straight men, closert.han I have been to women. Those straight men never even attempted-to lay,anything but friendship on me, nor did they attempt to patronize me. The whole discussion upset me because of the intensity of 'emotion that came out. _I ' On the way home; a man fell into . step beside me.. (Since_f_orming an acceptable concept of myself as 8 woman, I have somehow come to look . more female, and a fairly goodlooking one at that.) I ignored him. He'said something'about the-weather so I answered him: I've, always professed to be friendly and I was also unaware of the game, i.e.- it's 11 o'clock at night, I'm a woman walking alone, if“1 answer him I'm "interested", he's on'a sexual / level already since society defines the situation as a sexual one. / He turns down Avenue Rd. withme. I tell him "Look, I'm going home. I'm also going home alone." He,,insists he enjoys the simple pleasure of talkingswith a friendly Canadian. He's Czech and "it's hard to bridge the dishance". So he walks'me home and the conversation remains on general topics like-his country and my , writing and the movie he just got out of. We get to my home and I say "Well, it's been nice talking to you. Maybe I'll run into you again sometime." He asks me if i'd 'like toI .have a \

6

coffee at the joint across the streetand continue,the convers&ion-he's really enjoying it. Up to that point, so*was I' so I said sure. It was a mistake' but one Ilearned from. 16 the res-' % taurant, he tried to lay the i whole fantasy on me. He tried to use flattery on me. Unfortunately for him, I can't be flattered-? have too big an ego. He laid "love at first.sight" on me. He tried "Feel sorry for meIim lonely." Then all that B.S. about a woman needs a man and vice versa. Durinqlthis, I used the perspectives I'd gotten earlier .that night from the women at Rochdale. If I hadn't,' I would've been my usual kind I self and would have'spent half the nightin that restaurant trying to show him what an ass he was, but oh,so.Kindly. When he pulled the "Don't be: afraid of -your feelings-hold my hand" gimmick, I threw up my hands in exasperation and said to no one in particular, "WOW, this is really unreal." I eventually gave him a dead hand because I

he looked-so damn lost. I took it back after a few minutes., But I shouldn't have done it in ' the first place. $!oming out of r the restaurant, he grabbed for my hand and said "Let's walk." I grabbed my hand back because I felt the ownership principle . ' in operation. So he put his arm around my shoulder-same principle-and I removed it saying "Sorry, but that signifies ‘a closeness that I don't feel for you, " And seeing that the whole thing would continue to be nothing but a hassle for me, I apologized a~nd h'eaded home again. He followed me to the door where ' he attempted to kiss me. I / dodged-I'm very good at that having had a lot of practice , with 'sloppy aunts. Then, when , I he tried it again, it suddenly this huge fellow . hit methat ,could beat the hell out of me if he wanted to and that I didn't know him well enough to judge ' whether or not he would. It' I didn't frighten me in the least but it.made me suddenly understand what those friends of mine were talking about. He had 2 huge ' ' paws on my shoulders so on the second attempt 1 did kiss, him;-as he said, "Like a brother," to which I replied "Don't push your luck.' You're not even at \ that level." Then I retreated into the house and subsequently decided that I've got a 'lot to . learn, i.e. not to be friendly with strange men, or women for /

that matter. And I can see how.a woman in my-position, but weakerthan I, might have put herself in a lousy position with the guy. 'He was a nice looking fellow,' about 30, "respectable" looking and well-educated. If _ I were someone.other than myself, I could've chosen to encourage . him inorder toiget the occasional free meal, movie, beer or , what have you, and deluded myself into thinking I had control of - the situation, But, ultimately, ' ,what is the point in being well- 1 fed, well-entertained and well "in-control",~ when I'd be emotionally miserable? I'd rather . be hungry and content. To avoid bull-shit, like the . . above, I will, at the outset,, tell them, very politely, where to go. But the whole thing was extremely enlightening especially,after the discussion I'd had I'm going to assume ' earlier. that this guy is typical of the heterosexual male. The only conclusion 1 can come to is that they are patheticallyill. (1) Their egos are extremely distorted. (2).They cannot functionsat I optimum unless they've '<got"a woman. '(3) They c an't be spontaneous. They go "by the book." (4)Their hold on reality is, extremely tenuous and dependent I on the degree of agreement and c\ validation they get -from their women, i.e. when I di&Vt give the man my,hand at first '(go along with the script, the. supposed . to of " How ,to Pick Up Girls ") the look in his eyes was incred-' ible. 1t“was a traumatic experience for him. (5) They may be' -' physically strong but are, for the most part, emotionally and mentally 'weak. This, in itself, is enough justification for women to be mistrustful of men, for men lack self-control. The women at Rochdale said, in effect, to handle men you' fight fire with fire. In other words, exploit and manipulate ' , them beforethey do it to you, . That only confirms the male's belief system. This man I had ' ' -to deal with was completely unaware of what.he was really ' doing, *just ,as many women are completely unaware of the realities of their own situations. xen‘are the way they are because of conditioning just as women Men, and -society in general,.are. have become so removed form the original purpose of that conditioning that trying to point it out intellectually has little effect. But something like my not putting my hand in that man's does-it really blew his-mind. ' I unwittingly nullified the' ' effect though by'later giving it to him. I did not force reality on him and I should have, the reality being that. I've known him for one-half hourand that that kind of affectiondoesn't qrise in'one-half hour; I now have a clearer understanding of why women are reluctant, in personal situations, to stand up for themselves. But, from my experience, I can't condone it. I, ,,i

Sympositi praised

i

friday,

the chevron

‘Last week there were. two good symposia presented on campus, and I would like to thank the organizers of the Symposium on the Money Crisis in the University (the Federation of Students, UW Administration, Faculty Association, & Staff Association) and of the Syrnposium on Nonviolence (Conrad Grebel College and ‘the Board of Education of the UW Federation of Students) for arranging them. - The former, perhaps because of its more direct and immediate concern to the university community, (admitting the equally important longramifications I which were ’ -term brought up by the speakers), drew a larger crowd. It is unfortunate that more people did not attend the latter, excellent symposium, where a major new (or ‘at least, relatively unknown) idea was’ presented. That so* few (relative to the total university community) people did attend the events-of the Symposium, on Nonviolence is perhaps a sad commentaryupon the priorities which most people (especially students) see the University as-forcing upon them, and upon the conditioning influences in the University, especially when the purpose of the University is sup-

posedly to educate people in examining themselves, society and the natural world, rather than to merely train them. In contrast to this ,dismal commentary; the Chevron must be congratulated for its advertising of the Symposium and for printing the article by Gene Sharp as a lead-in to it, and its coverage of the events of the Symposium was good although it could have been more extensive. Many people who did not-or were unable ,to attend have “hopefully. been able therefore to gain something from it. However, I must take issue with Jim Doherty’s statement ‘Sharp was most in favour of what he referred to as “unorganised. noncooperation”. ’ One of Sharp’s points was that more research must be done on past nonviolent actions to evaluate their effectiveness and risks, and hard-headed comparisons with violent methods must be made, and finally? research to increase the effectiveness of non; violent methods must be carried out. To search for more effective nonviolent methods, while not ruling out spontaneous unorganized nonco$peration, implies a favouring of -organized nonco-operation by a trained gopulace rather than unorganized action. One other point which was missing in the article was Sharp’s contention that the power of leaders to govern stems from the people’s consent to be governed, and that withdrawal of

this consent” is the power behind, nonviolent action and no,ncooperation, Apart‘ from these- two points, Jim’s article covered Professor Sharp’s lecture very well. Tapes were made of the Symposium, copies of which may eventually find their way into the library and the programming of Radio Waterloo. Also, copies of the papers presented at the Symposium will be made available in the future. I urge all those who did not attend the Symposiumto watch for these and to try to find out what ideas were presented at the Symposium: some of you may decide-they are quite important. .

Cutting- costs The Computing Centre shares a common purpose with the other “support service” departments on campus.- We are here to assist in maximizing the productivity of those who are actively involved in the educational and ’ research activities of the university: In providing equipment, applications software, and assistance with developing the skills necessary to use them, it is also our responsibility to attempt to minimize the cost to the university. Therefore as Stephen Coates notes in his closingjparagraph (chevron letter: Jan. 17), there is only so much the Computing Centre can do; we have already done something in an attempt to

reduce paper consumption, and other possibilities he mentioned were already under-study when we. read his ,letter. Minimizing’costs within the context of maximizing productivity is complicated. Coates’ opening issue, “computer-printed art”, while it has- been a target, did not become so out of a desire to conserve paper, but was initiated at the suggestion of a number of computer users who were becoming increasingly frustrated at seeing “pretty pictures” printing ,while they were waiting for printouts associated with academic assignments and research projects. When we began checking with the faculty members who had authorized the computer accounts that were being used by individuals to print pictures, they indicated that they d4d not want the accounts used for such purposes. At their request, we began forwarding such output for them to deal with as they saw fit. Attacking this issue in an attempt to reduce paper consumption would be exactly as Coates said: “attacking the molehill rather than the mountain. There are several ways to save paper without eliminating any type of jobs.” ‘L The’cost of computer paper has roughly tripled over the last year. To offset this increase, we have switched the DEBUG Terminals to shorter paper at 8 lines to the inch instead of 6. Unfortu-mrtely, the saving is only 27 percent of the current price. We are also attempting to determine how many of the prin-

ters in the Main Input/Output Room could also be converted, and ’ what impact such an action would have- on the productivity of the computer user. <Many processors print a default number of lines per . page, and we are looking into changing those defaults to make as much use of each page as possible. As for “multiple copies’“, eliminating certain page ejects, and the ’ documentation, we are looking for ways of achieving the results that Coates cites that do not involve ‘,‘hidden” costs (manpower, proreprogramming, etc) cedures, which outstripthe possible savings in materials. The Computing Centre is in no position to pass judgement on the value (educational or research) of the output a user is producing. In many cases, the output represents -a research project, and all we can do is contact the-individual involved to see if there is an alternative approach which costs less but does not impair his or her productivity. As he mentioned in his last paragraph, all users should try ‘to make an effort to conserve pape,r wherever possible. We are trying; and will continue to try; too; we 9 want to make sure first that the changes we could introduce will -have little impact on the productivity of the computer user and will truly represent savings in the total cost to the university. One of the : issues Coates didn’t mention is re-, cycling; we hope, by the time he ’ reads this, to have started. Roger Watt computing centre

Increasingly _’ militant PSACuses _ rotating strikes -’ i t effectively The General Trades and Labour section of the Public Service Alliance of Canada recently conducted a series of selective strikes all over Canada to protest slowness of negotiations. This section of the PSAC consists of 20,000 workers who maintain mail sorting and handling equipment, clear . snow from runways at airports, repair post office trucks and other government vehicles, and also perform some operations fin the grain trade. Their contract expired on November 23. Bargaining with the-Treasury Board began in early November, The Board’s first offer,was a 3c an hour increase which was flatly rejected by the workers.

It is gpparent that the French C,P. still ‘considers that any ideological opposition to the bureaucracy is, “de fact&counter-revolutionary, and its present line is in fact due more to its courtship of the 1 Socialist Party of Mitterand than any political I objecti@n to the trials. Proof of this is the fact that a statement was only issued by the political bureau of the French C.P. after. continued promptings by Mitterand. I , / , / The CP of Great Britain has’also expressed concern at the trials, following a similar line - to that taken by the ‘Italian C.P. which deplored the trials “if the reports received . are accurate”.

The reticenc$of the official Communist Parties will surprise few people (we characterise these parties as Stalinfst precisely because of their organic links with I theCommunist Party of the Soviet Union). However, it must comb as a surprise to many militants when ‘Angela Davis’s statement is, ’ in effect, more reactionary than that of the French Communist Party. , The reason why we should be concerned about herposition is because of the key role she has assumed in politic&rig many young militants both in the States and elsewhere in the world. Any statements she makes may ‘well influence them further, and that is why it, is absolutely necessary to explain that by her statement she has reneged on ‘the duty of --revolutionaries to -support the right of rsocialists in Eastern Europe to develop ideas and critiques of their societies, and to organise against a j bureaucracy. It is not enough’for all her supporters to have fought for merebourgeois democracy within the capitalist countries.

A-b?0 THE FUTURE

_ The failure ;of --the insurrection can, be - analysed on three levels as Fred Halliday has done in his excellent article--in kNew3 Left / Review: 1. On\a political level the JVP. had a loose and unsystmatized , internal structure ‘--bringmg _ together loosely co4&iiated factions. In \ addition, due to years of exposure to-bankrupt “socialist” parliamentary parties, members -_ tended- towards adventurism. 2. On a military level the lack of internationalarms suppliers to the JVP, and the,huge aid to the enemy, dealt a crushing blow. 3. *Of course the most important contribution <to the failure of the insurrection was the lack 1 of a necessary social base. It was at the very -point that the JVPrwas developing links w.ith the urban working class and jthe. Tamil peasantry that the government moved in o”, them. \_ However. neither the lessons of 1971 nor the ever deepening economic crisis I)are being overlooked by revolutionaries throughout the . Indian Ocean. Just as no amount of reform ’ can ‘buy off the --mass of the exploited, no amount of terror can interminably undermine _ the struggle of revolutionaries throughout the world. , _-

Recession ‘and Depression For some &onomists the crucial question at the moment is not whether the U.S. is in the midst of a deepening recession, but whether the current recession can extend itself into a depression.

\

: . dtipression \

It’s just not the same

Those who attempt to answer the problematic, soon end-up at a loss: what’s the difference between .a recession, and a depression? According to the wall’ Street Journal, an old American joke, in a nutshell, sums up the difference: “When your neighbour is unemployed, it’s a recession. When you lose yourjob, it’s a depression.” A less primitive definition was proffered by star English economist John Maynard Keynes, who ence averred: “A depression is characterized whenever men and machines are \ persistently unemployed, while in a/recession. unemployment _ is . of -short duration.” Therefore a depression is an economic crisis! far more profound and lasting than a recession. In the U.S., the government considers there’s a recession when the GNP, -as what happened in 1974, falls in four consecutive quarters and when unemployment rises above,6 per cent. The majority of economists, however, ‘feel that to have a recession there’s a need for a 10 per cent or more decrease in private investment, a drop in consumption, a contraction of the construction industry (the largest in the country), a few bank failures and a fall in stock values. /Besides all these problems, the economy, in a recession, functions much like it did in good times. To pull the economy out of a recession,/the government enforces measures such as a series of “public works” projects to absorb the,redundant workers; a reduction in in-‘ terest rates to encourage private investment; and a close scrutiny of the financial sector to avert bank failures.

John Morris \ now it’sby common By knowledge that the United States is in the midst of its8worst recession of the post World War II era. The US. labour department, in a December report, affirms that 7.1 per cent,of the workforce-around 6.5 million-canlt find jobs and predicts that by summer the number will swell to more than 8+million. Corroborating the department’s prediction, the strategic car industry, according to Newsweek, announced in early January that nearly 70,000 autoworkers will be Added to the 300,000 already idle, due to slumping sales. Moreover, the housing in-. dustry reached its lowest ebb in recent years, contracting by more than 50 per cent in comparison with 1972. Jn- addition, Wall Street stock ‘values plummeted by 43 per cent between January and August of last year; no doubt epitomizing the general trend of the economy. Capping the matter, U.S. treasury secretary William Simon said last Thursday that cthe nation’s Gross National Product (GNP) dropped at a startling 9.1 per cent rate between October and December. The GNP-the government’s key measurement of economic activity-is ‘the total , 1 value of goods and services. Given the current outlook, few economists will deny that the recession is deepening. Speaking on Oct. 23 (one day before the fatal Oct. 24,1929, the day of the ‘New York Stock Exchange crash), world \ famous economist Paul Samuelson said: We’re in a recession. Inflation hasn’t ended, nor will it end soon. This is a serious situation.” However, it was only in mid-November that the White House used for the first time, the word “recession” to define the escalating trend. President Ford’s press secretary, Ronald Nessen said that the U.S. economy nosedived sharply in recent months with an inflation rate of 12 per cent (now 13.7 per cent) and an unemployment rate of 6 per cent (now 7.1 per cent). Also, interest rates soared and consumer spending declined, he said.

Meanwhile, in a depression the economy - threatens to collapse.,In the U.S. a depression would entail a 15 per cent drop in the GNP; an unemployment rate of more than 10 per cent; mass bankruptcies of all the financial institutions and commercial enterprises; a devaluation of stocks; and a 20 per cent shrinkage of investments; To pull the economy out of the-quandary of the 1929 depression, president Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s government had to assume greater control of the economy by extending its influence in most sectors. Moreover, the government’ became the main investor in the economy, thus substituting the private sector. The global sum of public expenditures (schools, roads, parks, hospitals and reconstruction o.f the ghettoes) increased from $16.9 billion in 1929, to $28.7 billion in 1935 and $42 billion in 1940.

A new dkpfession? The sickness of the American economy in 1929, prompted the drastic action of the Roosevelt government. Will president Ford’s governmenthave to act in a similar fashion to deal with t-he present crisis? One can draw several parallels between 1929 and 1974-95. The first such parallel is the consumers’ indebtedness. In 1929, the population’s debt corresponded, to,88 per cent of the main household salary. Today, the household debt is 75 per cent, in comparison with 50 per cent in 1950. The second parallel is the decline of

f

housing construction by-46 per cent between 1925 and 1929, compared with a more than 50 per cent drop between October .1972 and today (i.e. from 2.5 million units to 1.1 million). The third parallel is the increase of interest rates from 6 per cent to 12 per cent in -’ the 1920’s, placed side by side with a one I year increase from 5 per cent to 10 per cent today. _-. The last parallel is the sudden drop in automobile production and the resulting layoffs. In 1929, car production’ fell from 577,000 units, in April, to 119,000, in October. During the first nine months of 1.974, production decreased by 25 per cent. Despite the) similarities, the differences between 1929 and 1974-75 are signrficant. In 1929, the extent of government investment was minimal, corresponding to only 3 per cent of total e.x’penditures, Today, government investment accounts for 20 per cent: for every five dollars spent in the economy, one comes from the government. Besides, according to US. News , and World Report: ‘ ‘ Today the administrators of the monetary system,are far more egrperienced and alert, and they will not , repeat the errors committed in the 1930’s.” A sharp drop in consumption, that would lead a number of industries to bankruptcy, due to rising unemployment is less likely to occur nowadays. In 1929, a worker who lost his job would also lose all his income. But today, with unemployment insurance the worker can maintain a portion of his inc’ome’when unemployed and can continue buying at least the essential goods for \ his upkeep. ” The differences between the banking systems are also substantial. In 1929, hun.: dreds of banks declared bankruptcy with the inability of debtors to repay their loans and the generalized run on the banks on the part of depositors. ,Today, however, the’ Federal Reserve System attempts to aid, in many fiscaa ways, ,banks facing difficulties, so as to prevent them from falling apart due to transitory problems. These and other differences with the situation prevailing in 1929, make it indeed .difficult for there to be a collapse of the American monetary system anywhere near

that of the Great Depression. Although the current recession is the most severe one that the U.S. economy has faced in the last three decades? the brief analysis of the difv ferences between 1929 and 1974-75 seems .‘ to show that the spectre of the Great Depression is, at least for the time being, far away.

hot enough Cinema Solidarity, a commitiee of the Anti-Imperialist Alliance, started its new season with a showing of Burn before 200 people at the campus centre last Sunday. The film is set in the mid-nineteenth century and stars Marlon Brando as a British agent called Captain Walker. The theme-is on how the capitalist interests manipulate a small islands politics for their own designs. Kamutu is a small sugar island in the West Indies; a colony of the Portuguese with a slave economy. Britain would like control of the sugar and Walker is sent to achieve just that.

The governor is disposed-of and the middle-class set up a provisional government. But Delores and his army take control of the Government and remain in power for eight months. At this point the film depicts Delores ahd his cohorts as unable to rule. It simplistically portrays Delores as unable to grasp sugar quotas on the London stock market, or to have the brain power to establish a ministry of Education, distribute , goods, or set up a medical system. It seems inconceivable that a man who-has successfully fought a liberation struggle cannot master a single commodity economy or tackle the most basic needs. of the people on a small island,‘after eight months of deliberation. But that is how director Albert0 Grimaldi saw it in his elaborate fictisn, marked by many misinformed ideas of revolution. What follows is that Walker persuade-s Delores that he is incapable of 1% ruling. The revolutionary army is disarmed and its leader han$ over the government to the middle-class. They then sign a 99 year contract with a British sugar company. This gives t _ the company total control over the plantations. Ten years elapse and the lot of the slaves turned workers is no better. Delores rises again to lead another revolution. Sugar prices soar and since “no Englishman drihks his tea without sfigar,” Walker is sent back to Kamutu. He is given control of the armed forces; engineers a miliary coup and has ’ the president executed for high treason when he shows signs of weakening. British troops are brought in and Walker- continues to bum the guerrillas out. Even the plantations .are turned to charcoal by his efforts. But in the end he wins and Delores is captured. As he is hanged Walker is assassinated on the dock by a young black porter. The camera shows the black faces of the onlookei-s which register no sorrow.

DISCUSSION In the discussion which followed the film some people saw this scene-as showing that thitcworker’s spirit had not been defeated and that they would rise again. But ther’e was stronger opinion’that Walker’s murder was an individual act of ter&rism and hence an act of despair. Also, given that one of the opening scenes was of the revolutionary leader before Delores being executed, then the film Ssemed to portray a cycle of revolution and defeat. The final act and the film generally gave no ir$ication of the workers freeing themselves from this. This film is well worth seeing if-you have any doubts about how the people of one Country can be manipulated and have their resources exploitt?d for the economic interest of ti major power. But as a revolutionary film it has major flaws. The most important is th_at it portrays thegeople as all weak and the capitalists as all powerful. In the real world national, liberation struggles have been successful and the people have been capable of organizing their own lives despite the forces of intefnational capitalism. Cinema-Solidarity will/be showing films every Sunday evening at 7:00 p.m. in the campus centre. The film for this Sunday is“‘Free the People of \ Gu_inea-Bissau.” -neil

On Monday night 200 people learned a lot about China. The agricultural and industrial ‘progress was outlined, the Cultural Revolutibn explained, and china’s attitude towards sex, abortions and drugs was discussed. They were listening to William Hinton speak on “new developments in China” as part of China Week at UW. Hinton is an expert on China. He has written three books on the country and is working on a fourth from his Philadelphia farm. In 1947 he went to China as an agric6ltural technician interested in the revolution. He stayed for six years and at one point taught English at a guerrilla university. He was last there in “1971. His speech dealt in part with the &anges he noticed on this visit after 17 years away. Thousands of s&are miles of mountain side had been terraced to yield crops. The postage stampiagriculture he left in 1953 &ad been transformed into large co-operative fields, Hinton feels that the Chinese farmer was not particularly suited to this collect&e farming. Pre-revolution he 1had been very individualistic, but now with the much increased production he favoured this system. There were also great changes in the literacy of tH& people. In every village he visited the childrers could I read and write. This was far from the case when he left. Medical care too had improved and now reached all the villages. Industrial progress was also evi-, dent everywhere. The village in which he stayed until 1948 was now a thriving industrial area with a cement plant, steel works, a reservoir and coal mines4 Hinton’s general impression was one of”progress, change and support for the revolution: - He went on to talk about the lively political life in China which stemmed from the high level of consciousness of the people. The workers go to work an hour early so that they can study in a group, and in the fiklds study breaks are common. ’ The Cultural Revolution certainly gave the impression of what Hinton described as “a lively . . . and unique political life”. He explained that it was an attempt to take socialism a stage further and to combat a variety of forces which were {harmful to this progress. These groups were the dispossessed landed gentry; the capitalist class who hoped to develop capitalism after the revolution; the intellectuals who found socialism hard \to adjust to in reality though Pleas?mt in the abstract.‘There was ilso some ambivalence among the peasantry, and there was a new bureaucr-atic class of ‘people who had @en to positions of power and privilege and felt that the revolution had gone ‘far enough. Hinton felt that it was these “‘people in power who had taken the capitalist Eoad” whom the cultural revolution was particularly aimed at, because it was around-this group that the other forces crystalized. There was another group to be contended with comprising of those who ‘tblow the commynist wind”. They wanted China to leap to communism before it was prepared. These struggles are expected to continue for 200 years before China achieves communism. Hinton predicts more Cultural Rev0lutions. He sees the current campaign against confucious and Lin Piao as an attempt to consolidate the gains of the Cultural Revolution. Lin Piao, despite his rhetoric, felt that the revolution had gone far enough. And Confucidus was the basis, of most of the conservatism in the country. This stemmed from two main themes in his thought; that mental work is superior to manual

and that men are Superior to women. The question period after Hinton’s speech brought forth further insight into Chinese life. -Chou En-lai is very respected even am&g critical group,s like the \’ Peking students. Criticism of him h’as mainly come from the “wind blowers of the left”. -Hinton sees Mao as the principle guiding force in China and when he dies there will be a great problem. However, the general level of political leadership is highand there are many young expe’rienced people who may come to the fore. The conflict between China and Russia is virtually irreconcilable. This is because the Russians have failed to continue their revolution and have substituted capitalism for bureaucratic capitalism. Thus the differences could only be resolved if there was a transformation in the Russian system; On the food crisis Hinton said that the world could produce more food. Bangladesh will not solve its Green problem by an “American Revol,ution” which will inv6lve it buying U.S. plant equipment and fertilizer. vlie problem will not be solved by technology alone. China had the worst food problem in the world bbt since the revolution it has had 13 years of overcrop and has a great store of food. “If other countries want to solve the food crisis”, said Hinton, ‘,‘they will have to seriously face the question of social transformat ion. ’ ’ The attitude of the workers is that they view the factory as their own. There are leaders but the foreman-worker relations hip doesn’t exist. In 1971 Hinton worked in a locomotive plant where the manager Jaboufed in the scrapyard for two days of the week because his technical skill was too low for him to work elsewhere. Abortion is not a major issue in China. It “Is available at a low fee and under good medical care. The sex and moral code is very strict and there is a dedicated family life. Hinton explained this as a reaction to the hedonism of feudal days when women were abused by‘ the landlords. Drug use and abuse has been wiped out. But pot grows all around and when Hinton asked the peasants if they ever smoked the hemp they were always surprised that he felt they would waste good fertilizer. ,

while dangling from ropes far abode them. The film also clearly illustrates the ever improving condition of women in China. Several scenes depi.ct brigades of strong young women doing th& dangerous and heavy work usually done only i by the men, including the dynamiting of the essential tunnel system. After the film, which was applauded by the audience, UW human relations prof Marsha Forest gave a brief talk. She stressed how the Chinese system of socialism, frees human beings and uplifts their spirit. The capitalist world in contrast crushes both the mind and, the body and produces mental and’ physical disease in iticreasing numbers. Recent studies show a direct relationship between I mental health and the economy. Perhaps what we need to learn from the Chine,se is that only by throwing out imperialism and having a socialist. revolution can one cure the diseases Western capitalism suffers from. Building more mental hospitals and jails is not the ans-neil docherty wer. \ Forest also stressed that Chjna is not undergoing Social transformation by accident. As was seen in the film the people at all levels study Marxism-Leninism Mao TseTung thought which is /the leading philosophy of the revolution. As an example ,the ‘speaker described a group in the Hsipu Brigade called the “Red Grannies”. They have a study group led by 74-year-old Chao-Yu-Cbp who belives that “all Over 40 people attended last people in the revolutionary ranks Wednesday the first organizamust care for each other, must love the tional I meeting of and help each other.” In the “old” Waterloo-Wellington.

concerning nonviolint soltit.ions to conflict---a problem we all face as individuals and as a ‘human ‘race. The problem of non-violence and nationalism tias approached and discussion ,on “Canada as a peacekeeper” took place. Walter Klaasen of Conrad Grebe1 College stated that Canadians should opt for “holding together of the country and then rejection of continentalism.” He based that statement ofi the fact tQat we,’ as Canadians, have the most to share ‘and therefore the most to lose. He stressed a need for Canada to maintain her own foreign policy, independent and different from that of the United States. A new defence policy ihould also be formulated, \ “one that is Canadian and realistic i to Canada’s needs.” Alan G. Newcombe, a researcher with Canadian Peace Re- . search Institute and a visiting professor of Peace Stu&,s at Conrad Grebel College, opened his lecture by stating that Canadian foreign policy should bc independent of the United States. “In comparison to population, Canada is one-tenth that of the United States, but Canada is also one of the top 10 countries of the world in aspects of industry, production, good-standards of living and such”, he said. Mr. Newcombe proposed%at Canada should invite non-atomic nations to join a collective security pact. He offered -an amendment stating that ‘Canada become world‘ peacemakers and form a World Peacemakers Association. “When the- United. Nations would need ’ peacemaking .troops, they would therefore be feasible”, he said. ’ Also it was proposed that revisions be made in the United Nations constitution: one vote per nation be discontinued and the number of votes be deter-mined by the nation’s population:All his views tended to promote his policy of using “a violent means when dealing with violenc? ’ . Gene-Sharp, a noted author and theoretician in the field of nonviolence and political reality, refuted the proposition of peacemaking institutions. “How do you enforce people to resort to peace against the force of multi-power countries?” he queried. He argued that the ided of instituting a World Peacemakers Association was good: but for it to exist today was simply not realistic.

Non- ’ \.% _ Resolutions for a non-violent foreign policy for Canada were proposed last Thursday at a lecture as a part of a Symposium on NonViolehce. The Symposium had the Ijurpose of producing realistic ideas

NEW YORK (LNS-CUP)-In September 1974, the United States Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) quietly removed the name of Dr. Hubertus Strughold from its list of “Reported Nazi War Criminals Living in the U.S.” Although Strughold is one of the most notorious Nazi war criminals still living, the INS also forwarded apologies to Strughold for the “embarassment” he had suffered by being characterized as a “warcriminal. ” . Since 1947, Strughold had been employed by the U.S. air force and had been the head of NASA’s Aerospace Medical Division until his retirement in 1968. He is fondly known in the aerospace programme as the “Father of U,S. Space Medicine” and is the only person ever to be employed by the air force academy as a “Professor of Space Medicine.” Strughold held similar sounding positions and titles in Nazi GerL

Ostensibly, the experiments were done in the interests of German pilots who were shot down over the icy water of the North Sea. Strughold had stressed on many occasions, the importance of “medical experimentation” to save the lives ofthese pilots. Besides thkDachau experiments conducted under Strughold’s supervision, he was also well aware of other experiments conducted on concentration camp prisoners. Although he later said he was not aware of these experiments until ,after 1945, German medical society proceedings show that he regularly discus,sed the results of tests done on prisoners who were injected with malaria, typhus and other virulent serums. Hundreds of thousands of these prisoners died as a result of epidemics caused by these injections. Although Strughold was initially slated to stand trial at Nuremburg in 1946, his name was mysteriously removed from the list of defendants of the 1946-47 “Doctor Trials.” It was later revealed that Strughold had been secretly employed at the time of the trials by the U.S. Air Force’s Aero Medical Centre as a ‘l‘scientificcollaborator.” Other doctors who were under Strughold’s, supervision did stand trial at Nurembnrg “Siegried Ruff, Hans Romberg and Georg Weltz. The military tribunals found the three “gravely implicated. . .in dastardly crimes against humanity” but for unexplained reasons the doctors were acquitted in. 1947. Immediately afterwards, Ruff, Romberg and Weltz also found-jobs in the US. Air Force as medical advisors. Ruff stated that like Strughold, he had been employed as a “medi-

cal collaborator of the Aero Medical Centre of the U.S. Air Force” since 1945, that is, shortly before the Nuremburg trials started. Ruff later became a medical officer in the West German Air Force and now holds a top level position in the NATO command. Strughold was brought to the U.S. by the U.S. Air Force in 1947 after testifying on behalf of suspected war criminals at _Nurem-, burg. In the U.S. he set up the department of spa’ce medicine at Randolph Air Force Base and perfected low pressure chambers and other space capsule simulators which were developed versions of the-experimental machines used at Dachau. He became a naturalized citizen in 1956. Currently, Strughold is a consultant at the Brooks Air Force Base in Texas, where he now lives. All attempts to contact him are frustrated by NASIA officials who themselves refuse to comment on the matter. A number of congressmen are said to have been quietly working on his behalf to get his name cleared as a war criminal, the most instrumental of these being Henry Gonzalez. (D-Texas) Powerful conservative ’ senators James Eastland and John Stennis were also supporters-of Strughold’s efforts to exonerate himself as a t _ war criminal. / Other top Nazi war criminals have been harboured for many years by the U.S. Air Force and the NASA programme, including Dr. Werner van Braun, who for many years headed the NASA test flight programme. It is estimated by some sources that 137 Nazi war criminals currently reside in the U.S., although the INS admits to only 57 names.

speculation that many residence students signed the petition under the, impression that if the academic program were suspended by the university the residence too might fold. How was this impression I created? Ministry of Collegesand University regulations according to Art Hedlam, Comptroller of the University prohibit the “use of Basic Operating Income in connection with expenditures for student aid, ancillary-enterprises, graduate student payment more. than the allowable limit . . . etc”. Residences are ancillary enterprises, so the fact is that if the College is using funds generated from tuition fees or operating grants from the academic program to subsidise the residences, it is engaging in illegal activity. The current Renison budget makes no mention of such transfers and leaves the impression the residences are self-financing. If the re= sident students signed the petition under the impression that academic sanctions could close the residence they were clearly being manipulated. . Other serious questions have been raised concerning the figures presented by M’Timkulu. The College has far more students than the 320 who allegedly signed the petition. It would appear that only those enrolled in the full-time program (143) and those living in residence (180) were given a-chance to sign or not sign. Many students take courses at Renison while not being enrolled in the Applied Social Science program. In addition, only 11 of the 180 residence students are enrolled full-time at the College. Clearly those who circulated and promoted the petition defined the “student body” in terms most favourable to the Renison Administration. It is interesting to note that the “Lambert-Johnson” motion only committed the Arts Faculty Coun-

vanced algebra or calculus but can’t apply them because they lack these basic skills.” Donald Dawson, the chairman of the Carleton University .mathematics department said both universities are finding “a very uneven distribution of mathematical skills” among first year students. Both of the chairmen said part of the decline is a result of the elimination of province wide departmental examinations. Vaillancourt said the elimination of’the exams has removed a standard on which to base high school marks. Some aspects of the courses taught in high schools were useless. With this in mind, he said, the University of Ottawa will start courses for high school teachers as well as basic courses for students.

Erratum

In the January 11 issue of the chevmistakes appeared in an article on the campus centre board. Applications were not extended for the position of chairperson but for ‘campus centre board member nominations. The campus centre board has not yet decided where cuts will be made in their budget. Also Susan Philips salary has already been increased, the motion to increase it was not tabled. ron several

&ions on: petition

A petition allegedly signed by 84% of Renison College students presented by Donald was M’Timkulu to the Arts Faculty Council on January 1lth in support ’ of his request that the “so-called Johnson-Lambert motion” be defeated. Professors Leo Johnson (History) and Ron Lambert (Sociology) had presented notice of motion, the > intent of_which was to put some force behind a previous motion passed by the Council urging Renison College administration to. ac. cept Canadian Association of University Teachers’ (CAUT) procedures to resolve the dispute at Renison College. The Renison College administra_ tion and the faculty members who supported the October 31st firings of Dr.- Jeff Forest and Academic \ Dean Hugh Miller as well as t\he banning of Dr. Marsha Forest from teaching at Renison, argued that the motion was tantamount to “academic terrorism”,‘in a statement recently released by the Renison Board of Governors. In representing the petition, M’Timkulu said that -it had been signed by 270 of the 320 “academic and resident students” of the College. The text ofthe petition, in urging defeat of the motion, asked that the Arts Faculty Council not “hold our .program hostage”. This was in reference to. the possible suspension of academic relationships with the Coil-ege.(implied in the motion) if , Renison administration refuses to accept CAUT arbitration procedures. Some serious questions must be raised regarding the petition and the uses to which it has been put. What was the impetus behind its being circulated at the College in the first place? Many people at Renison believe that principal John Towler took the ,lead in having it passed around. There has been

jar-Gary

lcil to action if the Renison administration persisted in its refusal to accept arbitration procedures acceptable to CAUT.’ CAUT, simply and fairly, is interested in ensuring- that faculty members under threat of suspension are given an appropriate forum in which to defend themselves against any charges. No presumption of innocence is involved. Yet John Towler told the Arts Faculty meeting-that the College felt “censure-by CAUT was imminent”. This would appear to be an outright rejection by Renison of any arbitration in the matter. Publicly at least they are sticking to their strongest and only position based on their legal right to hire and -- . , fire, At last Monday’s Senate meeting however, University of- Waterloo President, Burt Matthews, after ruling out of order Federation President Andrew Telegdi’s request to open discussion on the academic concern of students at Renison, stated that he had received a call from CAUT,which led,him to believe “that something would happen within the week”. Apparently Jim Stevens who sits on the national Academic Freedom and Tenure Committee of CAUT had called Matthews that afternoon to. inform -him of recent developments. Matthews contended that any action by Senate at that time would be “counterproductive’ “. Renisorrhas in the past attempted to sidestep any formal involvement by the university by alluding to alleged behind-the-scenes developments. They are, running short of stalling tactics as the pressure mounts at all levels-student protest, Arts Faculty and Senate sanctions-to force Renison to back down from its game of “Toughing it Out”. The most important questions remain “Why won’t Renison go to binding arbitration? What has Renison to hide?” _

“It does my heart good, son, to see you stone drunk ahopped up on grass.”

-<The:-Renisori- This article, subm\itted by the Renison Academic Assembly (RAA), could not be printed last week due to lack of space. It deals with course changes .at th6 college and other administrative manoeuvres.

The New Year has brought new attacks against the Renison academic community, orchestrated by the masters--of misdeeds, John Towler. Students were greeted by newly hired teachers-Bob Lahue, Ronald Cdpeland and Luke , Fusco-breaking the Faculty- associa&ons embargo by teaching courses of both fired and current faculty. There have also been disturbing program revisions and the total abandonment of all participatory democratic decision-making processes which the administration has been eroding since the firings. The Board and principal of Renison are holding firm on their highly suspicious refusal to accept arbitration on C.A.U.T. guidelines. What are they afraid of? What have they to hide? The intensification of retrograde administration is reflected in measure after measure. All semblance of democracy is gone and decision making has been concentrated amongst the Board, Principal and a small clique of faculty party faithfuls,, clustered around TowlerIn a unilateral sweep Towler has moved further against student interests by cancelling a core area course in social psychology and by implementing alternative sections of all courses taught by Jeff Forest. Towler is assisted in this reprehensible venture by teachers who chose to violate the directives of the Faculty Associations Tenure Committee report that advised graduate students. and faculty members not to accept jobs at Renison College. For an administration that pompously. insists that it represents the ’ interests of students, the current irregularities are stunning testimony to the contrary. For teasers, the cancelled psychology course, previously under Hugh Miller’s jurisdiction has been denied to students on the alleged basis that no one with appropriate credentials can be found to teach it. What’s more’, in a totally baffling exercise of logic, Towler is *’ attempting to blame Jeff Forest for the retraction of this; Forest, who was to assist Miller in teaching the winter term part of the course is suddenly being heldresponsible for its canceilation. The final irony came when students discovered that the course is not under the administration of the X UW psych dept. (and hence is not a recognized prerequisite) and the < credentials argument advanced by Towler is a pure smoke screen. Miller’s two other courses, now taught by Bob Lahue, present ironies in view of the fact that the administration continues to cackle about its’ heartfelt interest in students. Lahue has told students that he learned of his appointment only one week before the commencement of term. Copeland, who has the gall to teach Jeff Forest’s courses while they are still beinglegally offered by Forest, informed students that he was asked to teach these classes just 48 hours before they began. Marsha Forest, who was banned from her cross appointment to Renison, will nevertheless be continuing to team teach with Jeff. She was voted \ as a permanent guest by the Renison students: Perhaps we students are deluded into assuming that responsible academics do spend considerable time preparing for courses. But then, we have no basis on which to assume that these men are responsible academics, given the fact that they accepted these appointments. However, it is encouraging to us that some faculty are known to have refused Renison invitations to teach these courses. Many academic students are confused, upset and-more importantly-downright outraged. That anger promises to express itself in a protracted and decisive struggle against the repressive administration at Renison College. While the administration conjures a fizzling out effect, intensification of struggle is occurring on all fronts. Tuesdays’ Arts Faculty vote expresses an eroding faith in Renison administration, at the same time as students are becoming increasingly convinced that they must unite and fight against Towler and company.

“Sow aseed and the earth will yield you a flower. Dream your dream to the sky and ’ it will bring you your beloved;” Kahlil Gibran i It has been a little over a week since the death of Mike Moser and it has been more than evident that his loss left us with empty hearts. I knew Mike both as a friend and as a fellow athlete and I still find it hard to believe that he was struck down in the prime of hislife so senselessly. Upon hearing of his death I had a “gut feeling” that hit right at the heart of me just as the death of my father did a year ago. It was a sensation that can’t be described in words but those of us who have experienced death know what I am talking about. Now, the problem that faces us is to keep going. Mike’s loss is the biggest blow that has happened here on campus in the three years that I have been here. :I have a strong feeling about saying ’ ‘goodbye’, for to me it means you will not see that person again so I’d rather say ‘hello’ meaning that I am thinking of you in _ the many memories ‘i hold of you. To .. Mike’s family, Don and Judy, Phil, Trevor and Chris, Patti, Tex, and all of his other -\ friends I do hope that you too will be able to say ‘hello’ rather than ‘goodbye’ to Mike.

Recently published in this newspaper was a letter to the editor by one Bruce Duncan questioning the use of live animal specimens in student experimentation. Being a biology major, and a student of the course which Mr. Duncan sees as the main offender, na‘mely Vertebrate Physiology (Biol 342), I would like to respond to his statements, and to put them in what I feel is their correct perspective. I have spoken to Mr. Duncan about his views, and I discern some cbntradictions in ’ his logic. Firstly, he is not a vegetarian. It is interesting to note that he objects to the killing of frogs, which are lowly amphi-. bians, and yet, through his diet, he condones, and even promotes, the slaughter of millions of.&telligent mammals, such as - cattle and swine. Any pig, by the way, could ‘make Lassie look like an idiot.. I do not say that the slaughter of these mammals makes the killing of frogs any more right, but I feel that those who object to one must also object to the other. We live ‘in a world of great inequity, but I don’t think it is appropriate to be selectively moral about one situation while completely ignoring the immorality of another. Some people, give me the impression that they feel the killing of animals is alright as long as they don’t have to do it themselves. , These people do not object to dissecting an ’ animal) which has-already been killed for them, but do object when they must kill their own. Mr. Duncan suggests that experiments should be demonstrated by a qualified de-monst\rator. How then, does the demonstrator become qualified? I don’t agree that \ \ as much can be learned by observation as by participation; It is my personal experi. ence that you’ve got toroll up ‘your sleeves

and get your hands dirty if you’re going to learn anything of value. The total lack of conscience is,of course wrong. Equally wrong, *however, is the needless moralizing about inequities which are necessary. It can be argued that the killing of livestock is wrong. This argument, however, would be a waste of time since the slaughter will continue no/matter what the outcome. I feel that Mr. Duncan’sletter was useful in that it reminded the Biology department not to forget morality completely. It is necessary to consider the morality of all experiments in which live subjects are involved. I have considered the morality of the experiments involving frogs, and 1,“for one, will continue to pith frogs when necessary. Dave Honours

She& stupkdity I was wondering who is making the supreme judgement in regards to what heated steps in the removal of snow and ioe are turned on or off? I know for a fact that some heated steps which supposedly no ,longer work because of disrepair or frost heaving etc. are now working perfectly. What is going on then? Is this sheer laziness and ignorance or is it a money saving brainstorm? Where does the safety factor come in here or does it not exist? When these steps are working during a light snowstorm they will remain free of ice and snow. What happens when somebody slips and breaks an arm? How much money will the university save then? Meanwhile back at the libra‘ry the lights keep burning brightly all night long and on allthe floors; though they are not being used at all by the students after 2 a.m. Is this edifice of concrete and glass a monument to university higher echelon stupidity!?

This letter is m response to the letter appearing in last week’s chevron which suggestsvarious ways in which the computing centre might be able to save money. One of the main points of the letter.was that the computing centre seemed to waste a lot of paper. ” Consider this: There are 3200 sheets of paper in one box (the paper that is normally \ used to print out batch computer runs). Each box costs $22.28. In November there were 19,574 class A jobs run,, and *3483 class T jobs run. (These two ‘%lasses” account for almost all the batch jobs run.) Now the salaries for professors in the math faculty are: $13,100 (assistant Prof.), $17,000 (associate pr.of.), $22,200 (full Prof.). It takes only a little bit of arithmetic to see that if the computing centre’saved one’ page per batch jobs, there would be a saving of $1925.72 per year; actually slightly less as the number of jobs run decreases in the summer. Now if the faculty get their 27 per cent raise that they have asked for, this would amount to (for assistant, associate and full professors respectively), $3,537.00,’ $4,590.00, and $5;994.00. Do you get the feeling that someone is getting shafted? I 3 Bruce’Hahn

It seems that the only place that I can buy my course books is at the campus bookstore, so I’m forced to queue up there with the rest of the students who spend even’ larger sums than I on books. I was under the impression that the bookstore was there to help the student (after all, I’m only a naive first year student) so I didn’t mind that much. It’s just a fact of life. However, another fact of life is that the bookstore is also a business. I purchased a Sociology text, “Introduction to Sociology” by Jerry Rose, for the paltry sum of $7.45 only to find that, upon further investigation, this exact same copy still bore a $6.55 bookstore price stamp on it. Not knowing any better (silly me) I went to the bookstore to get a refund. I was kindly informed by a Mrs. McCormick that since reordered, the book had gone up in price and the bookstorejust’couldn’t put a book out at two different pr;ices, so they did the only fair thing: fmarked up all the old stock. I j.ust want to publicly thank all the Mrs. McCormicks of this world’: who are run by policy and procedure, who are afraid to do something morally right, for creating inflation in their own little ways and passing it on to me. I hope they never bitch about the high cost of bread and milk on their coffee breaks. ’ , ’ P.S. I also was ovetcharged $1:55 on a psychology text “The Ati and Science of Creativity .” Michael

Michael Gordon’s article “Library hit by inflation” on page 5 of the Jan. 11 issue of, the chevron is, for the most part, an accurate report of our telephone conversation. However, there are a couple of points which I should like to clarify. The second paragraph should read: . . .“as much as 45 per cent of the 1975-76 budget for books, serials and binding will be spent on serials and binding unless action is taken now.” ‘The library has already placed a temporary moratorium of the initiation of new subscriptions for serial publications, to allow for the development of a plan to reduce spending in-fhis area. Discussions have already begun with McMaster, York, Guelph, Queens and Toronto librarians with a view to sharing serial resources even more than we do at present. The library, with the assistance of faculty library representatives will be carefully scrutinizing existing subscriptions for the purpose of reducihg the annual expenditure on serial publications. These kinds of projects must be done carefully and take time. Paragraph three states that the library is. going into the next year with a large deficit in its budget. This will not be the case, at least I’ hope that our very careful monitoring of expenditures will continue to keep us within budget. It ismore difficult now, with, inflation constantly diminishing purchasing power, but we believe we can do it. Unfortunately, this means curtailing nonessential services. I believe that Gordon in his article is referring to the projected 1975/76 university deficit of $2 million. The library is taking its share in the cutbacks in order to reduce this deficit. It is unlikely that there is any area in the University which will not feel the effect of shrinking government grants. The library is very sensitive to budget cuts because virtually everyone on campus has an interest in it. I

Bitch ‘, _ bitch ,’ bitch ~ 1

It never ceases to amaze me how often and without fail large’ numbers of vocal 1 students at UW can bitch, bitch, bitch aboutone thing or another: Sometimes the cause for bitching would seem to be solely for self gratification or ego-fulfillment, or just because’bf sheer boredom. Last year was a case in point. Remember how much we students repeatedly complained and objected and became generally upset over the format and content of the chevron? Yet none of this attitude seems to be apparent , this year. Where are the complainers now? Perhaps it’s because we now have real issues to occupy our minds: the monetary crisis resulting in cutbacks, GASP, the ‘ ‘Renison affair”, the housing crisis, the municipal elections, the pubs, or just good old Burt versus Andy. No longer does the chevron seem as burning an issue as it once had seemed. The chevron exists in its own unique--limbo this year until, once again, without ,tgut issues to concern our finely trained, academic minds, we jump on the chevron to seek out appropriate criticisms. The chevron may once again offer itself as . an object of criticism/to fill our keenly searching intellects. e/t There is a stumbling block, however. No matter how insignificant this barrier may seem to some, it will no doubt be overcome by diligently probing students seeking truth, justice, and “bitching” freedom for all. The stumbling block: just good content l combined with efficient use of space, (asefficient as possible, that is),neat, readable f‘ layout, and relevant reading. The reporting attempts to air both sides of a news item. The calibre of the chevron has become that /’ ’ of a good newspaper. I think it is high time somebody said something for the chevron. It has made a great leap forward and, as a reader of the chevron, I’m finding an enjoyable, interests ing paper whose quality is now rarely mediocre. Thanks to all those who work on ’ the chevron; who ‘put their body, soul, and mind into its production; deserve a pat on the back! Congratulations to the chevron . A-staff. Yet, there will be some. They’ll criticize and complain; they’ll bitch and foam at the mouth; they’ll find-fault; they’ll seek to tear down, rather than build up; they’ll. . .

But UW presiclent Burt Matthews ruled Telegdi out of order as a representative of the Canadian Association of University Teachers (CAUT) told him that some action will be taken “within a week” regarding the dispute. “I feel it would be counter productive if not harmful” for senate to intervene at this time; &latthews said. The dispute at Renison College started Oct. 3’1, 1974 when two profs were fired and prompted a student protest. Academic dean Hugh Miller and soqial science prof Jeffrey Forest were given notices % of’dismissal effective Dec. 20, 1974 and April 30, 1975. -Telegdi said he wanted an investigation into the disruption of courses at Renison as “students in their final year right now are unable to register for courses they’ signed up for”. -$hn
