Another. build-p,

another letdown

The downtown core of Kitchener is in a state of constant flux. There have been numerous redevelopment projects over the past few years. The enlightened student will recall some of these changes: engineers, the reconstructiqn of sewer and water pipes; historians, the merits of the o/d farmers’ market; and political-scientists, the relocation ‘of city hall. So you don’t have to be an architecture student to , perceive the changes in building sty/es. An apt example of this trend is the building above. The o/d structure is being removed to provide space for the new. A/though the older structure doesn’t reflect what is touted as ‘Tmodern design” it does offer character and sty/e. Most modern buildings lack these aesthetic fkatures. She sterile wa//s of brick and concrete lack . imagination. Some believe that newness is better, but a greater appreciation of the o/d could give insight to the design of modern architecture.

this is not the first offer of binding arbitration to be put to the Renison Board of Governors. The profs suggested it at the outset and have ‘maintained that offer. The UW Faculty Association called upon Renison to follow CAUT procedures and accept binding arbitration. Also both the Art’s Faculty Council and the Senate have passed similar motions. Carleton University and COSS have now added their weight. Finally CAUT have made an official offer. What remains to be seen is whether the Renison Administration will accept it.

In talla C hha ifa u.esl Last Friday over 150 people heard prof Paul Lin speak on “Values in Contemporary China”. L& a guest speaker of the UW Chinese Society, gave a lively, entertaining, at times even witty a&ount of the subject. Paul Lin was born in Vancouver and received his education in Canada and the U.S. In 1949 he went to China where he stayed for 15 years. In 1965 he was invited to become the first chairman cif the Institute of East Asian Studies: at ‘McGill University, which post he still holds. He has written a book, The History of the People’s Republic of China, and has done research into c&temporary values and institutional changes in China.’ He started the lecture by sketching the areas of mutual learning in our two countries. We could, for example, learn from. their success in mobilizing all resources, human and material, towards self-sufficiency; the Chinese could th’emselves benefit from our science and technology, as well as the organization of-the Canadian industrial and economic structure. However he called for a critical approach: we must each learn from the failures and from the successes. At any rate, wha_tever happens in China, he said, has “profound implications for the rest of humanity”, and cannot be ignored. , In conjunction with this, Lin warned against two dangerous approaches to Chinese affairs. On one hand, there are those, who refuse to acknowledge that anything worthwhile is happening in China. But we must not go to the other extreme: that the Chinese have found the “perfect answer”. Even today, China remains a synthesis of the new and the old, /I the ideal and the backward. Serving the people “is the highest ethic in China today”, said prof Paul Lin One of the aims of the Cultural Revolution was, he said, to become during his speech on values in contemporary China. aware of these imperfections. It was directed (among other things) against the complacency of certain leaders and intellectuals, who- had either thought that the revolution had gone far enough, or clung to the Confucian concept of the superiority of intellectual labour, and behaved in a condescending manner towards the people. Lin pointed out that even in the early stages of the revolution, dipendence on the people was an essential principle. The function of the leaders was, and still is, not tutelage btit merging with the masses. It was impor-- i tant’that this attitude continue even after the means of production had passed into the hands of the people. Instead of being told what to do, the people must have a say in their own affairs, and the leaders must have faith in the masses. Therefore, decision-making in China comprises of an The president of Canada’s $30 I realization of the fipite limit of matalmost endlesi-dialdgue between the leaders and the masses. erials on the globe. As he put it, million crystal ball spoke to an auThe purpose of the dialogue is related to another principle: serving the “the enormous consumption of dience of UW dignitaries, faculty, people. “This”, said Lin, “is the highest ethic in China today”.

Piof it% banned! Waterloo regional employees can no longer,u’se “information obtained in the course’ of carrying out their duties” which may result in benefits for themselves oti close associates. ’ Staffers who violate the conflict-of-interest rules, passed unanimpusly Jan. 23 by regional council, will be fired or suspended by a review Committee comprised of the regional chairman, solicitor and chief administrator. ,The rules also forbid employees from accepting any gifts from business contacts “that could be construed as given in anticipation, of special consideration by the regional municipality”, -stated the conflict-of-interest pohcy drafted by regional chairman Jack Young. The conflict-of-interest question erupted last June when the Kitchen&-Waterloo Record reported that two regional public health inspectors had h $13 1,000 mark-up on the resale of +a Doon property they purchased for $30,000. The property owned by two elderly sisters had been declared earlier unsanitary by one of the inspectors. Hdwever, Young didn’t refer to the scandal in his report nor did he mention the resulting regional health board recommendation urging immediate enactment of conflict-of-interest guidelines. The passing of the new guidelines is no-t an indication that there is any existirig problems, Young said. “I sincerely’hope that these recommendations are not construed as indicating problems that I have knowledge of.” According to a letter from former attorney-general Robert Welch, this is the first time conflict-ofinterest rules have been enacted at the regional level in Ontario. Welch was asked in the provincial legislature, last autumn, to investigate the health inspectors’ case. ’ The adopted rules now place employees on the same level as elected officials, who must steer clear of any council matter in which they hav,e a financial interest. ‘Howe&r, the details of the rules differ slightly for employees. Provincial civil servants can also be fired if they abuse their positions for private gain in any qutside business. Young added thai--“there is no legislation by which charges could be laid” against a profiteering staffer, as there’s no law preventing‘an employee from usilig inside information for private gain. The only penalty would be disciplinary action by-regional council, Young said. .If a profiteering complaint arises, the matter is first examihed by a committee comprised of the regional chairman, the regional solicitor Elmer Moore and the chief administrator Whitney Bradley. The ,qommittee’s recommendation is later voted on by council. Young was instructed by council to seek adoption of similar guidelines at the municipal level and also to urge other regions to enact a similar policy. In other business, councillors ;oted to hire two additional welfare workers to take care of increased applications caused by rising unemployment. According to welfare director Arthur Pope, family applications increased 25 per cent in December. Welfare applicants climbed to as many as 140 a day in December, compared with the voveniber average of 40 to 50 a month, he said. ’

Last week,~‘as one of a continuing series of lectures being sponsored this term by the economics department, professor Makato Itoh of -Tokyo University and currently a visiting professor at Harvard spoke on “the Marxian jheory of economic crisis”. . Student interest sparked by the topic was evidently of a high level and exceeded expectations since the original location selected for the lecture fumed out to be too small and the gathering had to be shifted to another room in the Arts Lecture Hall. Professor Itoh who introduced- himself as one of Japan’s “one thousand professional Marxist academic economists” presented the restilts of his original research into MarxQnalysis of cyclical crisis which is characteristic of capitalist society. Itoh’s presentation of the subject, based upon research of Marx’s writings revealed a somprehensive and detailed model of the chain of events involved in what Jesse Schwartz of the economics dept., who introduced the speaker; termed the “periodic industrial storms which sweep capitalist society. ’ : The essence of Itoh’s exposition of the capitalist system stressed the primary triggering factor of industrial crisis as being the exhaustion of the pool of unemployed workers which enables wages to rise in the “prosperity period” thus putting pressure on profits. The sharpness and suddenness of the crisis Itoh indicated was the breakdown of the chain of credit which builds up in the boom period of the cycle to finance speculation in commodities. The result of Itoh’s lecture was the presentation of a picture of Marx as not being just a r&volutionary, philosopher,,or historian but also as being an analytical economist whose theory is of striking topical relevance. However, Itoh illustrated the role of Marx’s economics in relation to his revolutionary - obiectives when’he \ stressed that economic crisis in itself did -‘not bring about the breakdown of capitalism-that could only occur as a result -of political factors. Today, the economics faculty was to bring well-known economist Anwar Shaik tb Arts Lecture Hall Room 124 at 2:30. However due to Shaik’s recent bad health he will be unable to give the lecture. Shaik expressed his disappointment over his absence, but has confirmed that he will give a lecture on “The Transformation Problem” at UW on the earliest possible date. -ken o’brien

CAB loses money

Attendance figures at the Federation of Students’ Creative Arts Board (CAB)‘ music events have dropped significtintly. Dave Kallay CAB chairman told the chevron he is concerned that either next year the federation subsidy for these events will be increased or they will have to be dropped altogether. Recent board events included the annual Carol Fantasy and last wkekend’s Mozart Concerto in the Theatre of the Arts. This concert of Mozart’s work failed to even take in half the revenue from ticket sales needed to break even. Usually ticket sales would pay for 40 percent of the _concert’s costs. . Kallay fears this decrease in ticket sales may represent a long-run decrease in the campus interest in classical music concerts. ’ - The Mozart cohcerto’s attendance figures have decreased from 289 last year to 219 this year. The annual Carol Fantasy attracted only two thirds of 1973’sattendance -. figures. j Kallay identified Alfred kunz, the Creative Arts Board programme director as perhaps chasing concerts in which the campus are not interested. b However Kallay is still enthusiastic about the prospects for the bdard ’ next year. “ The -board is sponsoring the University of Waterloo Symphony Orchestra and hopefully it will do more concerts next year.” The orchestra consists of a core group of Kitchener-Waterloo residknts and an everchanging group of students. Kallay would like to see the orchestra divide up into a chamber group for evening concerts. For the remainder of this term CAB is presenting Maurike Evans’ production of Pinter’s “the Birthday Part?“, Feb. 25 to March r. The CAB Band will play at the March CIAU basketball finals in the - phys. ed. complex. In the past attendance for these ev_ents has been good and Kallay is hopeful the good crowds for drama events will carry over to the board’s music series. -michael

Next weekend the Caribbean Students Association*nd the African Students Association will host the annual “Sympositim of African Peoples.” Featured speaker is Dick Gregory; the Affb-American comedian reknown for his actiiities against the Vietnam W& in the sixties. Gregory’s topic will be “Pan Africanism” and will be given next Saturday at 3 :30 in I Arts Lecture 116. Seminars will also be held on such diverse topics as “niodernization: a hinderance to Pan Africanism”, “do blacks need an ideology”, “the black experience in Kitchener-Waterloo”, “blacks and immigration”, “black women and women’s liberation’?, and “black countries and non- allignment” . Friday night two films will be shown in Arts Lecture 113: “Mark of the Hawk” starring Sidney Poiter and “A Nation is Born”. The first film is about an Afro-American caught up in the liberation struggle in southern Africa and the second film documents the birth of Guinea-Bissau. The symposium should be an interesting event for those students interested in the thoughts and desires of the young elites af some independent African nations and of the West Indies. Up to now the political thought among the new elites of the Black-ruled countries has remained just that-elitist. Leaders such as -Nyererg, Manley, and. the liberation movements in Angola, Mozambique, Guinea-Bissau,, Eritrea, and Zimbabwe are noteworthy exceptions to the rule and show that the replace, .ment of the white elites by black- elites need not occur. -dOug

agribusiness OTTAWA (CUP)-Beryl Plumtre defended farmers and Eugene -Whelan warned agribusiness “don’t be greedy”, at an agricultural conference held here Jan. 20 to 21. --The defense of farmers by the chairman of the Food Prices Review Board (FPRB) was received right after the commencement of the government’s annual-Canadian Agricultural Outlook Conference. “It is not easy to make friends in times of inflation” Plumtre told the audience. “Clearly inflation is devisive. All groups get thrown into a struggle to maintain their -living standards. Some groups with power succeed; others do not.” “It is in the best interest of all Canadians that we succeed in the fight against inflation. Agricultural producers, I believe, generally share this view.” Minister of agriculture, Eugene Whelan, in his closing remarks of the conference, showed that he was . not so confident. ’ “To the agribusiness people here today, I warn you. Don’t be greedy. You will be paying morefor labour and more for inputs. Farmers know your prices will go up. Farmers don’t begrudge you a fair profit. But take it easy. Without a healthy farm industry you can’t survive,” he said. The Outlook Conference is an ’ annual event sponsored by Agriculture Canada, and attended by delegations from each provincial government, agribusiness representa-, tives, and representatives of farming groups across the country. At the conference, papers. were prepared by Agriculture Canada staff providing economic and general forecasts of agricultural activity and prospects for the upcoming year. This year’s conference was characterized in the press as being ’ a “doom and gloom” session, culminating in -a doomsday report from Statistics Canada on the final day. The report, which forecasted farm income and expenses for 1975, concluded that “there is no doubt but that the 1975 projections of realized net income denote a dej terioration in the relative income position of the farming industry.” According to the projections, the total net income of the farming community-reached a peak in 1974 and is likely to decline in 1975. Although prices are not expected to decline for agricultural products, net farm income will decline as a result I of continuing increases in farm operating expenses. The report says that the rate of increase of operating costs is likely to exceed any increase farmers cash receipts. ceipts. Plumtre told the conference that .although wholesale farm product prices went up 60 per cent in 1973, the levelling off to-a constant 5per cent increase by late 1974 was noninflationary. The Consumer Price Index’: she

said, was showing the highest increase rate in 26 years, 12.4 per cent annually, with consumer food at 17 per cent. But she stressed that, “a large proportion of what consumers finally pay for food is accounted for by transportation, processing, wholesaling and retailing.” It is this proportion, rather than .I the farmers share of the food dollar, which Plumtre says has been rising. She cited shifting consumer preference for more convenience foods, and hence higher processing costs as one factor in this increase. She did commit the FPRB, however, to an examination of that sector of the food industry to uncover any waste. But while the board undertook to “examine, analyze, report, and recommend” on food price and cost developments in the coming year, she predicted that the cost of food for the consumer would increase at an annual rate of 15\ per cent, at least until mid-year. ” She also predicted that pressures on food producer costs would con“And though in 1973, your compat?y had again to contend with spiralling labour costs, meddling tinue in the coming year, and urged restraint from all groups “in both government regulations, ‘and ecological do-gooders, management was able once more, through a spending and income demands.” combination of deceptive billing and fake advertising, and the ;cjrioper use of plant shut-downs, to , She conceded that the FPRB had show a profit which in all modesty can only be called excessive.” no information as to where the two year, 140 per cent income increase right out of business-and that the “Is it co-ops?

Chilean exiles in the Toronto area have called upon Canadians to participate in a world-wide campaign to save the lives of Chilean sailors who refused to partake in the coup d’etat which overthrew the government of Chile’s president Salvador Allende. Over 100 sailors and civilians formerly employed by the navy have been ’ detained since August, 1973, one month before the Sept. 11’ coup. They were arrested when manifesting their opposition to the coup which was being openly discussed in the-Armed Forces weeks. before it occurred. Press reports at the time of their detention indicated that the detainees were subject to brutal tortures. No news was heard of them for over a year. However, in November, reports were received that the prisoners had been sent to trial and that prosecution was demanding the death penalty in * fifteen of the ca%es. All information pertaining to \the trials and their outcome has been kept - strictly secret. . Exiled, Chilean leaders speculate this is the case because of adverseworld public opinion which followed the death sentences handed out in similar Air Force trials last July. The campaign co-ordinators ask public organizations and concerned ’ individuals to send cables and letters to General August0 Pinochet,‘president of Chile, Edificio Niego Portales, Santiago,. Chile, calling for the release of sailors and civilians who have been tried for opposing the coup.

From these areas IRPP’s researchers-social political scientists-will go onto both broader topics and specific problems, such as northern development, constitutional matters,> native peoples, and the administration of justice. Carrothers has previously suggested ‘that the role of organized labour and the concept of unionism in the future could be a focus of attention. There is also the issues surrounding public access to governmentheld information and “the question of just how much information on what subjects should or should not be provided”. Cart-others initial list of topics includes 22 items upon which, even when pared down; he does not expect IRPP to report upon until the end of the decade. --__ ~__~_ Prior, though, to launching into a meditation of extrapolated future . societies, IRPP has been conducting studies aimed at formulating its own modus operandi which has resulted in a now-published fourth generation research plan. Cari rothers expressed an underlying concern of the plan as being a need “for short-term relevance to decision-makers of long-term re, search questions selected by the institute.” While interested in maintaining “relevance”, IRPP does not see itself as an adjunct to government but as an independent entity both in L its operations and direction. Hoping to gain a position of influence within the nation from the calibre of its researchers, Carrothers sees IBPP as being able to look into subjects “politically inappropriate to handle” or too time-consuming. IRPP is to be financed from the income of a $30 million endowment being sought from the federal and . provincial governments and the private sector. Each of the three is being approached to contribute $10 million. The hope is that with an independent income IRPP will be , free from many constraints both’in . the selection of topics for research and in its proposed policy options. Critical questions remain to be answered if only by time about the . viability of IRPP. How much will the institute feel constrained to suggest policy options on a basis of what they think will be listened to and instead of what is necessarily needed? And given that IRPP’srole is to counsel those who for better or worse hold power within the society, ultimately for whose benefit are the options to be designed? \ l

, The following artic.le, reprinted from the December issue of Old Mole, by )on Rothschild explains how the combination of the economic and political crisis is a deadly _one for the lsraeli ruling c/ass. /-/e argues that the intensity of the economic disaster is obvious/y rooted in Isreal’s, character as a Zionist state-the enormous military budget and the economic isolation of the country from the neighbouring nations being the two clearest Zionist-determined causes of the crisis.

by Jon Rothschild The danger of a fifth Arab-Israeli war derives fundamentally from the political and -economic crisis npw racking Israeli society. Tel Aviv’s international isolation is virtually complete. This was demonstrated graphically by the recent United Nations vote (105 to 4, 20 abstentians) favouring recognition of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) followed by Arafat’s triumphant UN appearance. The political crisis of the Zionist state provoked by the “earthquake” of the October War (1973) and its aftermath have steadily deepened. Now, the economic crisis has provoked government measures whose effects on the Isi-aeli masses will be nothing short of catastrophic. On the morning of Nov. 10 the Israeli pound was devalued 42- per cent, one of the largest single currency devaluations‘in the recent history of capitalism. In addition, a series of measures were taken that the government deemed “necessary to the success of the devaluation”. The pgce of bread was doubled, the price of sugar @pled; th& price of cooking oil went from 1.05 to 2.60 Israeli pounds; the prices of water, gas, and electricity for home consumption increased by nearly 100 per cent. According to the government’s own statistics, the cost of living went up by 17 per cent in one day! And this in a country in which retail prices have already risen 34 per cent since January 1974 and in which the inflation rate could reach 50 per cent next year! A: if to leave .no doubt about where the government’s priorities lay, Prime Minister ‘Y’itzhak Rabin, also announced that the “defense” budget: which accounted for 17 per cent of the gross na-tional product before the October War, would increase to 33 ,per cent. Minister of finance Yehoshua Rabinovitz explained that the measures of “austerity” were essential for stopping the “hemorrhage” of currency. Israel’s balance of payments deficit for 1974 is expected to be more *an-$3.5 thousand million, three times what it was in 1972. Currency reserves have bee9 halved during the past”ten months (to $900 million) and the country is already $6 thousand million in debt. “If this hemorrhage had continued “, Rabinovitz said, “in’ six months our econo’mp would have suffered terrible upheavals, and we would have had 100,000 immediate aim”, unemployed. ” “The commented the Nov. 16 issue of the Btitish -weekly The Economist, “is to improve . Israel’s balance of payments by $700 million a year, by a sharp cut in private consumption of some $1 billion (milliard) a year. Although special taxes have been

slapped on banks and insurance companies, and capital gains tax is -being increased to 50 per cent, it is the wage-earner and housewife who will feel the new austerity most.” Under tliese circumstances, the declaiation of the devaluation and the austerity measures were so universally detested that even the Hititadrut, the so-called tradeunion that is actual1y.a pillar of the s_tate apparatus, ‘felt obliged to issue a protest. Workers from the Hatikvah quarter-the worst slum in Tell Aviv, inhabited mostly by Sephardic Jewsacted more directly. They took to the streets, stoning buses and stopping traffic. Later, about 300 workers from the same neighboul’hood attacked I police guarding stores and broke into several stores, carrying off whatever they could get. A battle with the riot police took place: about thirty people were reported arrested. The Nov. 12 Le Mode report?d that strikes took place in several factoees to protest the austerity measures. /

Isreal: no normal bourgeois state XThe combination of the economic and . political crisis is a deadly one for the Israeli ruling class.. The intensity of the econon$c disaster is obviously rooted in Israel’s character as a Zionist state-the enormous military budget and the economic isolation

from the neighbouring countries being the two clearest Zionist-determined causes of the crisis. It is becoming increasingly difficult for the ru$ing class to stifle opposition to the government’s’ various economi‘c measures on the grounds that national unity against the Arab aggressors must be preserved. , The most obvious solution to the crisis would be for the United States to bail Israel out of its economic difficulties. In exchange, Washington would require political co’ncessions from the Isreali regime, possibly including recognition of the PLO as a negotiating pafiner in one form or another, due regard being given to Tel Aviv’s need for a. face-saving formula. (Negotiations between Israel and a “united” Arab delegation including members of the PLO might be such a formula). Ove? the long term, Washington could point out to Tel Aviv, a general settlement of the conflict in the region with the establishment of a Palestinian mini-state could allow Isreal to reduce its defence budget vastly.. This could go. a long way toward easing both the political and economic ,_ crisis. This sort of solution .is clearly the one desired by US imperialism which still has to rely on Israe\ as its most reliable ‘gendarme in the Atab East and has no desire to see its junior partner suffer economic collapse. It is also a solution that could look very attractive to wide sectors of the Israeli

ruling class. In fact, if Israel were a normal bourgeois state,-it would be safe to predict with certainty that this solution would be adopted. The problem is that Israel is not a normal bourgeois state. It is a bourgeois state, but . it is also a Zionist state. That is, it is a.state devoted to the project of “ingathering” all the world’s Jews, a state that has ingathered in its current population on the basis of dislocation of the-Palestinian Arabs and can preserve its existence as ari exclusively Jewish state solely on the basis of maintaining hegemony over the Arab , East. Fey seven years the Isfaeli govemment has insisted on the inalienable right of Jews to keep control of the West Bank; it has defended Jewish colonization of the West Bank bn the-grounds that the entire country was established through colonization (which is true). .It has always been a cardinal point of official Zionist policy and ideology that there was no such thing as aPalestinian people (only “Arab refugees”) and that the entire Palestinian movement (in whatever form and under whatever program and leaqership) was nothing but a oand of bloodthirsty gangsters impervidus to human reason. . The Zionists have created such a chauvinist hysteria against the PLO in particular and the Palestinians in general that the government itself is now a prisoner of this. Additionally, a substantial sector of the Israeli ruling class, including a,good number of leading generals, is prepared to take any measure necessary to block the developing negotiation process. These settors personified by the maniacal General Ariel Sharon and-supported by leading I party figures such as Moshe Dayan, dream of returning to the swaggering arrogance of 1967-1973 by unleashing yet another blitzkrieg against the Arab states. They reason that if such a war were launched, US imperialism would h;tve rio choice but to accept the fait accompli and b&k up Israel with ati the weapons it would need. ._ And they are probably right. -The immediate danger derives from this: The peculiarities of the Zionist state are such that the combination of economic and political crisis, international diplomatic isolation, and the conjunctu,rally favorable military relationship of forces could lead a decisive sector of the Isreali ruling class to reject Yassir-.Arafat’%s olive branch and Henry Kissinger’s charm and opt instead for yet another lightning war of aggression. It is hardly necessary to dwell on the threats involved in such anaction. The Arab East today stands not merely at a cross-roads but on a razor’s edge. The alternative to a new conflagration appears to be a historic attempt to impose the “peaceful solution”, which means American imperialist hegemony and the crushing of the vanguard of the Arab revolution. On ’ the other hand,.the bankruptcy of Zionism , and the Arab ruling classes was neve?more crying. The attempts to impose the “peaceful solution” willbe met by increasing opposition among the Arab masses as the real dharacter of that solution becomes more clear. The choice facing the Israeli- _ Jewish workers-economic catastrophe and perpetual warfare or a break with’ . Zionism and integration into the revolutionary struggle of the Arab world-is being posed ever mo,re sharply.

_ by Jim Harding Sinke the initial impact of the women’s movement in the late 60’s I have noticed a new imbalance in my and other men’s lives. Whereas more women seem to be maintaining and extending their intimacies with both men and women, men are mostly being left without such continuity. ’ It is instructive to look at this new’imbalante, to see the new sexual contradictions that can’ surface as we try to undo our - socialization within the bourgeois culture. Part of this imbalance can be explained by surveying the relative advantages and disadvaritages for men arid women, as the patriarchsll perceptions of the nuclear family \ within state capitalism begin to break down. These advantages and disadvantages, as we shall see, are hkavily laden with ideological remnants of bourgeois socialrelations. The single male, ,-for 1example, faced with the shrinking prospect -of stabilizing his existence in the roles of the nuclear family, and without a cultural alternative, can look despairingly upon the new freedoms of the women. (Married men, who imagine or fantasize their little kingdom crashing dhwn, obviously also look anxiously upon the new freedoms of women). This has partly to do with the loss of the paterr& role and the chance to be the defin& and provider, but it also has to do with the more fundamental loss of the chance to hav9 children-given that no alternative sQcia1 form to fulfil1 this need has yet been developed. But it also has to do with the relative sexual advantages that many single women have over most single men. Women do not centre in on a single man the way that men centre in upon single women. As such, the single male not only faces the loss of his socialized identity within the nuclear’family; if he can not or does not tiant to ac‘tively “compete” for a woman’s companionship he faces the chance of being utterly alone. Many worned. also face this predicament, but there is usually an imbalance in the way it is described in the women’s liberatio& literature.

have and still do look to women for emotional confidence. This is so deeply rooted

Demystifying the Oedipal complex

This same imbalance brought about by the ending .of the monopoly of patriarchal sex roles without the disappearance of many of the complementary habits and stereotypes, can also be explained by looking at our sexual identifications as children. This has something to do with the so-called Oedipal complex, though the neo, Freudians in the American empire have successfully obscured the issue with their dogmas. The woman, as mother, does not cmpose the diffe‘rentiation of “male” and “female” with anything like the intensity that the .father (in the nuclear family under state capitalism) does. Both of us, male_and female, come from the female body (and the male body, but in a less obvious way ahd on a far different timescale). So, in a sense, we are more children than males or ~ females to our mothers. Under the present cultural and economic system, whether-we are a-boy or a girl, we learn our dominant sexual modes in relation to our fathers. But this sexual differentiation has different implicatiotis for the male and female. The little girl, for example, does not have to suppress her erotic relationship with her father nearly as.much or so early as the little boy does with his mother. ‘The little girl can imitate her _ mother and even flirt with her father, oz other older men, whereas the little boy will imitate his father in many non-erotic ways but usually doesn’t dare compete. with him for, or interfere with, the affection of the mother. -a This starts the small girl off in a different

or female, whose experience is being, evaluated, can ultimately get Very confusing. For example, a man (or woman) who is relatively popular and attractive, acco’rding to existing norms, may not be able to identify with the large number of men (or women) who are npt in the centre of the, “sexual marketplace.” The very fact that men still rely upon women Ifor emotional qonfidence and the added fact that a relatively small number of men try to monopolize the “sexual marketplace” means that a large number of men are left to each other, or Alone, in either case without deep communication. This structural relationship goes a ,long way in explaining the tendency of me’n in groups towards infantile and chauvinistic behaviour. If deprived of the chance for emotionally satisfying relationship& we are prone to sublimate our energy into Superficial roles, at home and work, and then to “let go” every once and a while. Also, the latent hostility many men feel for women, who they do not know how to get close to, or to other men who may undercut‘ their chances of doing this, is the source of a great amount of the male’s drive for power and control. What I am saying can, perhaps, be clarified by making an analogy betwe?n women and men. It is common to hear women complain that they have relied , more upon men than other women for intdllectual stimulation, though this has definitely changed with the growth of the women’s movement. This imbalance has obviously been Gery costly for women. An opposing tendency, also linked to our childhood identifications with our parents, has been very costly for men. In much the same way that women have looked to men for intellectual stimulation in the past, men

relation, with some definite advantages to both the mother and father. She can, potentially be affectionate with both pare-nts whereas the boy not only greatly suppresses his earlier intimacy with his mother buit ends up relating to his father in a guarded, distant manner. This socializatign, highly dependent upon the division of labour under: capitalism (home, work; manual, mental; biology, technology, etc.) establishes the emotional foundation for many of our later social roIes and relationships.\ As such, it is far more resistant to change than are the actual roles themselves. This emoc tional basis of sex roles is actually what cements the social relations around sexuality and therefore an affront on the roles can easily turn into a purely id$ological and rhetotical critique, vyithout leading to a basic change of behaviour. This partly explains why, with the breakdown of some of the sexual stereotypes of this soqiety, we find new sexual contradictions appearing. Because these are B new basis for new polarizations between male and female, and becausethese contradictions should never be allowed to become antagonistic to the point of ‘shifting. attention away from the more fundamental contradictions of power and weajth between classes, we need-to both quickly come to grips with this problem. The fact that we both have learned to differentiate our sex main&in r&&on toour fathers makes-it harder for males to estab-

lish non;sexist relationships with botl women and men. We are more atuned to the cues of sexual pifferentiation, and,- as such, are less able to see the potential for mutuality with’both other men and women. To the extent that we remain competitive, we will relate superficially and likely aggressively ‘and defensively to other men! and women. Through our positive identifi‘cation with our father we may even have come to non-identify-with our mothers and the female in us. Through our father’s eye5 we may even see women mostly, even il ulteriorly,as wives and mothers of OUI children, and other men as threats to thi! system of personal control. Because of the over-riding presence o4 the male ego (competitive, aggressive, in, tellectualized) we will find it easier to relate to other women at an emotional leGe1 (if wt .’ even express this aspect of ourselves) thar. to other men. Hence the basis for women maintaining and extending their friendships with both men and women, while men have difficulty being mutual with both but are .more, prone to be intimate with women,

The emotional intellectual split Ariy attempt to make sense of the rela, tive effects of sexuaj relations, depending upon ‘the family from and the per&n, mali

in the social relations of the society t!at there is even a grand mythology about it (e.g. the woman who the man confides in becomes the “other woman” in a sexual triangle). ’ c Men don’t confide in each other very much or very often, and there has been little change in this regards since the 60’s. Women are therefore becoming conversant, both emotionally and intellectually, with men while men are still deprived of such a balanced relationship with men themselves. Now that sisterhood has given I more women an independence from men regarding intellectual (though not yet technological) activities, they are potentially conversag,. both emotionally and intellectually, with both men and women. Men are not conversant, both eniotionally and intellectually , with either. This imbalance seems to create the conditions for its continuance’, unless, that is, men consciously act to overcome it: With men not being socialized to be intimate with tpeir fathers or their sons, or other men, we are often left to ourselves, especially when the going gets rough. B-ecause to be “male” in this culture is to be selfreliant we are further encapsulated in the individual confusion that can result from the new sexual cbntradictions we will f&e through the 70’s. This preliminary analysis shows why many of the leadership initiatives on the cultural front cati and have been taken by women. It also shows that men have a need and the collective basis to form an emotional and political brotherhobd in sharp contrast to the superficial and chauvinistic solidarities of men in groups. I hope thk chevron is wiling to carry a discussioth of male sexuality in future issues. Any takers? If the great bulk of responses are from women, this will regrett.atily, tend to coMirm my analysis even further.

We’re able to operate on a much larger budget base and we are able to fund them by co-sponsoring certain events that they wouldn’t be able to fund themselves and they havean input into that through the board of entertainment. They can get a piece of the co-sponsorship budget if they let their plans be known to the board chairperson. The same kind of situation although not as direct exists in education where the faculty society, if they \want to bring in a speaker or sponsor a forum or some kind of informational publication, can get money from the board of education.

the present UW student interest

$&or&The ’ present administratiori is similar to any other administration in an institution, they are a conservative group, they are concerned with maintaining the status quo, they have their own situation to be concerned about as well as the student situation. I do think we have a number of areas that we can work with the administration, the cutbacks as Barb mentioned is a big one, with their assistance,we can have a much stronger voice against the government but the second aspect of the cutbacks which is extremely important is how the university is distributing the load on various administrative services, the co-ordination department, counselling services, health services; these are all areas that are important and relate directly- to the student other than his academic situation, his classroom-situation. I think that unfortunately the budget cutbacks are being dispersed on a historical bas’is, that the budget :xist without the federation. I do believe that there is notbeing re-evaluated, but rather setting a priority are a number of areas that the federation must work that is. faculty and staff salaries and then everyone on its own and a-number of areas that the societies else gets the same amount of increase right across must work on their own. I wouldn’t classify it as a the board. This to me cannot be continued if we are . matter of extending influence from one to the other, going to maintain an acceptable level of service to but rather a co-operation, we’re all here for basically the student. Somewhere along the line the deans and -the same 1thing _..~ and-PIif we co-operate and work together -*:--vice’ president Bcademic are going to have to get we can oe more enecrive. together and set some academic priorities for this Innes-I think that at the present time the involveuniversity, and that is going to require some student input through senate and its boards. Somewhere ment of the various faculty societies andchurch colleges could be extended a little bit. By possibly along the line we are going to have todecide-the forming course unions in that they would bring university is going to have to decide-what priority areas such as health services and counselling ser-% another area into the federation so that students vices have. Right now those two areas are. being would have another body or place to go so that their 1*

interest in any particular area can be brought to the federation. Thefaculty societies as a whole has concerns over main faculties such as engineering, ‘by breaking it down ) into course unions the main interest of that course can be brought to faculty societies or to the federation, through the faculty societies, so that all areas are encompassed. The church colleges at this time tend to have the same position in the federation as the fact&y societies and are also very important in bringing things to the, federation since a large number of students do-attend courses atthe church colleges, not all courses but a lot of courses, and possibly this could be broken down so that an input can be put/in that area. At the present time the federation, or actually the faculty societies or all students for that’ matter know the resources they have with the federation and know they can go to the federation and ask for money in areas of education and entertainment. But to get to the main interest of each course there should be another body which deals mainly with that course so that it can move in their interest and bring that to the federation so that all areas are encompassed, not just / general areas. __ What tional loyed

are your feelings towards the educaprocesses at UW, the methods empand the end result?

hes-Under the current capitalist system, I don’t think that the educational process can be changed in any manner, the only way it can be changed is to have good professors, and sufficient time for students to be in contact with the professors. By tighting the cutbacks put out by the government the education here will not diminish, but by fighting and gaining the things thatstudents need that the educational process will raise up and the education at the present time will be on a higher standard. But I don’t think that at the present time we can change the educational process. ShortaMthink that for the-most part; we don’t have on this campus a consistent system of education, the different faculties, and even among differ_ent professors have a whole different attitude towards their own particular educational - process. n They may put on seminars and put the main emphasis on seminars, they may put the emphasis on essay work, on merely a passive lecture system, I think that what has to happen is that we make known to the students how the courses are taught and how the teachers teach them so that they can judge for themselves which is the most successful educational process for them. I think that if you pick any group of students certain students will like a particular -a-ppreach to education, so I think that if we want to talk about the methods employed and the resulting product of the educational process, we are trying to tell the students too much. I think that what we should do is get a campus wide course evaluation, in cooperation with the administration to draw out the kind of techniques being used by different professors and different departments to give them some kind of feedback on how the students feel they are doing and how the students feel they are putting their subjects across. What are your ing referendum?

ecords Miles of Aisles Joni Mitchell Asylum Her latest double album.“Miles of Aisles” clearly defines why Joni Mitchell has already risen to being a superb musician performer and above all lyricist. This album will surely warm the hearts of all her fans since ‘it is her best album to date. Along with Joni’s spectacular voice, guitar and piano she is backed by Tom Scott and the L.A. Express who add their own special ,talents to the already terrific album. They add the native rhythms to “Carey” and provide the driving background for “Woodstock”. Tom Scott’s excellent performance with horns and woodwinds also tells us that Joni has changed somewhat. This change is for the better as far as this album is concerned. This is a live album along the lines of “Court and Spark” her previous album. However unlike some live albums “Miles of Aisles” remains in its proper perspective no frills only Joni at her best. This album sparkles with the class and excellence that only Joni can give it. Even in these days of rising prices “Miles of _ Aisles” is a terrific buy, as any Joni Mitchell fan will tell you. Listen to it yourself and see if you don’t agree that this is Joni at her best.

_ - - RCMP always gets its. unibn.~leader i -,’ An Unathorized History of the *RCMP ’ Lo&e and Caroline Brown James Lewis and Samuel, Toronto 1973 _Very little information has been revealed to the Canadian public regarding the super-secret activities of their federal vigilante, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP). The impression that the force projects, or rather actively cultivates t through extensive public relations campaigns, creates an image of the Mounties as really just grownup boy scouts. To level criticism at the RCMP is to attack a Canadian institution, a symbol of Canadian democracy throughout the world; in fact, it is downright unpatriotic. ’ The RCMP is famous for its record for “giving every man of whatever race or colour a square deal.” (Just ask Louis Riel)

government’s pression.

The authors make it clear that in reality the force proved to-be just the opposite: “The NWMP were established as a semimilitary force designed to keep order on the prairies and to facilitate the transfer of most of the territory of the region from the Indian tribes to the federal government with a minimum of expense and bloodshed.”

’ Deserters

We find that discipline within the early force was a blot on the record as well. By the. end of the first two years over half of the original members had deserted. Abuse of office, internal mismanagement and the dissatisfaction oftheenlisted men resulted in virtual mutiny. Alcoholism, venereal disease and the sexual exploitation of Indian women were prevalent.

during the de.

RNWP Sent to Siberia

New‘ Perspectives

In this book, the Browns have offered Canadians a new perspective on a-revered Canadian organization, and have shattered the myth that so many hold to be true. “It has been written to put on record exactly those aspe’cts of the RCMP’s history that the official books have neglected”. It is probably the first book to do so, since almost all literature describing the force was-written by retired officers .or was subjected to the censorship of the commissioner prior to publication. The release of information is greatly inhibited by the harsh penalties imposed on members who make disclosures without first checking with the commissioner. Any problems of discipline or abuse of office are dealt with internally, effectively isolating the force from other branches of the government and -_ from the public as well. The force was officially established in 1873 as the North West Mounted Police (NWMP). It was militaristic in nature and was to be based on the Irish Constabulary used by Great Britain in controlling the - dissident Irish. Its alleged duties were to give the Indians and Metis a ‘ square deal’, and to maintain an impartially enforced . system of law guaranteeing equal rights to , all.

relief policies

The NWMP first made a big name for itself during the-construction of the CPR, when workers struck to protest wage cuts or the lack of promised wages altogether. The force was skillful in its role as strikebreaker and as a scab labour supply. It even operated the trains while thestrike was in effect. The government was obviously very pleased with these activities; in recognition of service to the empire, the name North West Mounted Police was changed to the Royal North West Mounted Police in 1904. The RCMP allied itself with businessmen against labour. This excellent book cites countless incidents of the RCMP provoking violence during numerous encounters with labour, including the Winnipeg General Strike in 1919 and the Bienfair Estavan strike in 1931. The smashing, of the Mine Workers Union of Canada is a particularly colourful event for the Mounties: “The miners and their wives, 250 in all, paraded to the mine where they were met by a large detachment of police and strike-breakers on a narrow ledge from which there was no escape. When the women formed themselves into a picket line, the police drove a. bulldozer into the 1 ._ gathering, breaking the limbs of several women. ’ ’ The RCMP was very important during the wars and in policing the depression as well. It kept a close eye on “socialists, pacifists and trade union activists who were actively opposed to the war”, or who were expressing dissatisfaction with the

During World War I the need for the RNWMP was thought to be diminishing, and there was talk of disbanding the force after the war. Policing would be left to the provinces and to the Dominion Police. A special squadron of RNWMP were sent to, Siberia in 1918 to fight against the communists during the Russian Civil War, and hundreds served in-the war as regulars. “What saved the RNWMP from abolition as a force was intense industrial and social unrest at the end of world war I. Events during this period caused great anxiety in business and governmental circles, and the Mounted Police assured their own future by making themselves invaluable to the economic and political elite of the day.” By 1920, the force had been built up to such a size that it absorbed the Dominion Police and became. the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, thereby enabling the force to extend its activities into the east as well. Previous to this union the RCMP operated chiefly in the west and the Dominion Police operated in the east. The authors point out that because it is the job of policemen in societies such as ours to “defend the status quo against its detractors, the leadersof the police forces usually develop apolitical psychology considerably to the right of society as a whole.” This analysis holds true in the case of the leaders of the RCMP. The following appeared in the RCMP Quarterly, written by Colonel C. E. Edgett in 1936 under the title “Peace, War and Communism’ ’ : “But there is this one essential dif. ference. Communists are out to destroy nationhood and patriotism by ’ ruthless violence-Fascists, or Nationalists, are out to preserve nationhood and patriotism by ruthless violence. There would be no Fascism had there not first come Communism.” “The time has come in Canada for every person to stand forth and be . counted as either for or against Communism. Tear the camouflage from the Red Beast-whether it be a religious camouflage or a tradeunion camouflage or a proletarian camouflage. Once the hideous form of the Beast is revealed for what it is, then I am confident that the great majority of Canadians will join in thenational cause against it, and will declare for , peace among themselves, instead of “’ - class - consciousness and class struggles and class - hatreds on , which the Beast thrives.” And if that is not enough to convince you, the Commissioner of the force, S.T. Wood, wrote “Tools for Treachery” in 1941: ?‘-Many may be surprised to hear that

it is not the Nazi nor the Fascist but the radical who constitutes our more troublesome problem.”

Jehovah’s Activists

“For instance it was largely due to lack of facts that some papers severely arraigned the Government for ’ interning ‘labour leaders’ when these were in reality Communist leaders; for persecuting religion in the guise of Jehovah’s -Witnesses when, in truth, these are active enemies of ; Christianity and democracy; for employing Gestapo methods through the police in investigating and seizing “harmless citizens”, when the . police had ample evidence that these citizens were plotting against the state.” During the sixties the Security and Intelligence (S&I) branch of the force began extending its activities as the peace movement gained strength and the grip of the Cold War slackened. Prime Minister Trudeau announced these intentions before the House of Commons-in 1969: “‘It is therefore the government’s in- b tention, with the full understanding of the RCMP, to insure that the Dir&torate of Security and Intelligence will grow and develop as a distinct and identifiable force . . . The security service, under the Commissioner of the RCMP, will be increasingly separate in structure and I civilian in nature. ’ ’ The attitude of the force regardikg students is evident in this,speech by C.W. Harvison in 1963: “University students are naturally - curious. At this age one finds% great deal of idealism and a strong sense of social morality. There are’ certain abuses in our system which the stur dent may think communism will cure, if he gets only one side of the picture . . .It is only those who have made a careful study of this problem, such as the various security services, that can differentiate between the radical or dissenter and the conspirator.” An Unauthorized History of the RCMP is a well-written, easy reading, concise and accurate history of the force. It is well researched and contains extensive footnotes listing the documents consulted. There can be little doubt as to the authenticity of the material presented in the book.

Real History It is an important -work for anyone interested in the real nistory of Canada and should be included m any suggested reading list for all Canadian history courses. In , the words of the force itself: “-The history -of the RCMP . . .wm also provide a unique opportunity for the-development of student-attitudes of respect for law and’order in our society.” -brian

A compact dialogue; only two actors, Liv Ullmann and Erland Josephson; very few outside scenes and.much use of close-ups in small rooms; its not a film for those who fear confinement. The film- begins with the superficially happy marriage of a professional middle&ss couple. Johan, 42, appears confident and witty ; Marrienne ,3 5, reserved and un-sure of herself. Their life fit’s into a series of time slots. The alarm sends Marrienne off to her lawFrom A Marriage,

Throughout this regulated ritual of life they {are evasive, never dealing with any real issues between themselves, such as their sex life, which is best not talked about according to Marrienne. - For Johan this life is not enough. He appears at the country cottage and over beer and cheese informs his wife that he is leaving for Paris in the morn’ with the 23 year old woman he’ loves. The couple part and the audience go for their popcorn. What little action there is in this film resumes1 with the two meeting after some .time apart. Marrienne is beginning to show a strength and consciousness which she lacked when they were together. Johan’s assurance is less strong. They

still have a love for each other, but though the time apart has been-painful for Marrienne, it has allowed her new freedoms. She now has lovers and has had time to think of herself. .-_I 5 She reads her diary to-Johan, who has fallen asleep and in a few minutes Bergman amply outlines the conditioning of woman. Marrienne now realises that from her earliest years so many of, her thoughts and feelings have been suppressed because they did not conform to predetermined standards . Hitherto she had only seen her life through Johan and now she is on the threshold of some freedom. Johan becomes weaker. Life without the . younger woman is not a success and many of the opinions and aspirations he had for himself have been dashed. The secure mar: ried life had meant more to him than he had realized. He is now not keen on divorce, but MarGenne has become too strong for any return to their-old relationship. -The end for them. and Beraman’s conelusion on love and ‘marriage,% that they

each marry again and settle for the excitement of occasional 24 hour elopements. Marienne’s husband has too much work and Johan’s wife is recovering’ in a rest home in Italy. The film deals with many issues: the conditioning of people into set roles; individual developments within a marriage; what part does sex play in a successful relationship. It takes a very cynical view of marriage and certainly portrays these two people as unable to find happiness in a nuptial bond. Marrienne is stronger. Johan has mellowed. Human relations are complex indeed. So -what’s new? The strength of this film is that it will hit - many of the middle minded middle class where they are most -vulnerable and perhaps ,force them to reappraise their life-style. But essentially it is a three hour film which ‘says nothing new. It was originally six hours when it was first shown on Swedish television. My advice is wait until they make a book of it and spare yourself _-the subtitles. -5aeH docherty

“Revolutionary Women” is a smkf./ pamphlet produced and published by “Children of Cod”, a Christian religious sect. The ap/ parent leader of this group uses the name Moses David. He is also the author of this pamphlet. “Revolutionary Women” shows women how ‘to act to please a man (in fact, one man-Moses David). Everything from clipped nails, black_ net stockings, sheer _ drapes, and clean, long hair are discussed. The art of seduction is explained-how to undress in front of one’s husband, langourlous poses, tit-bits (his word) of flesh exposed are sbme of the methods a “natural” woman uses to please men. When the woman reaches middle age, it is explained that her husband will go astray because he -needs new territory and has to express his curiosity. Women are to be used ,as tools for men’s needs and should expect to be be discarded when the man wishes it. References from the Bible are given t6 explain and justify this situation. The point of view expressed is hardly revolutionary; in fact, it is the antithesis of h uman liberation today. It presents wo^man as a plaything and t/oaks it in the “respectability” of a religion. To attack the article point by point would- occupy too much space. Below is an’ alteration of the pamphlet u’sing many of the phrases it presents. If you see this pamphlet, maybe you should read it for yourself before giving a donation to propagate this philosophy. L

For the “larger” man, if you’ve got it, flaunt it. 4) Don’t show her everything all at once, boys, or all the time, or go, running around stark naked all the time as familiarity breeds contempt, and she may tire of the same monotonous sight of an unlimited expanse of bare flesh and knitty-gritty. This is the whole principle of the timehonoured profession of -strip teasing (please see “How To Undress In Front Of. Your Wife”). 7) You don’t have to let it all hang out to be handsome, just wrap it in an artful fashion so she’ll know it’s there. May we sugIn these days of increased awareness gest a florescent , multi-coloured codpiece, about <women and their roles and needs, it or the ever-popular woolly sock. is refreshing to see such a straightforward 8) Incidentally, even if you have a physiexample of how today’s “revolutionary affliction, you’re still at your most prowomen” can find, happiness.

However, beware of crabs and snapping turtles. 14) Just remember in all these things the natural and normal ways are always the best, the happiest and most healthful-just I the way God made you!-and that’s really revolutionary. 15) Don’t forget, though, that total nud-’ ity is total crudity like those crotch shots. They’re just plain disgusting. But you, men, just have to have more than mere nudity. There must be something spiritual about you. Because women can get their belly full of full frontal shots everywhere today. _ __ _-- -- --19) I don’t see anything beautiful about those crotch shots with the men shoving it right up your nose. It’s nice to know it’s there when we need it, but I don’t think it’s the most beautiful part and I don’t like to be slapped in the face with it. 22) A little bit of clothing enhances a man’s physique and helps cover any part of his body that isn’t p&ticularly virile. Some parts of the body are more beautiful if they . pretend to be hidden, and you can only ‘occasionally catch a supposedly forbidden glimpse. Like a fly “accidentally” left open, or a hairy navel inadvertently bared.

24) It’s woman’s nature to explore virgin territory and thus to satisfy her inborn quest for fresh adventure. As the Bible says- “theyseek strange flesh”. About 50, percent of desire is just plain childish curiosity, wondering what his looks like, what his acts like, and what his response would be. 26) Real love is not merely physical, but is a spiritual thing. Clothes are of no par-. titular importance to me, simply *for the reason that I have always had contempt for people who put great stress on outward appearance. 27) Of course, I do examine the bodies of men, because I’m a woman and a man’s attributes are naturally appealing to me, *which is why God-made them that way and we would want to have them. Otherwise, sex for procreation would seem quite a chore, and just plain hard work. 31) Some couples have been known to enjoy sex nearly every month clean up into their 30’s and 40’s. 32) But with most men, the desire tapers off in middle age, causing many wives to go astray. There are obviously many womenwho desire it,because the Bible calls it the desire of women.

35) As Paul once said,* “they (people) seek a new thing.” Why should women put a constant strain on their old models when they could create an entirely new line with a new model, fresh and young, and with greater variety. 38) So He said “set not your affection on things below, but on things above.” z 44) So maybe that’s whats wrong with you. -You believe everything you read.

-photo by helen witruk The Spartans, University of Waterloo’s junior varsity basketball team are’ again playing p’relude games to the Warriors basketball games this year. Last Friday they defeated the Intramural All-stars 96-43. Tomorrow night they will be playing the Guelph junior varsity team just before the main WarriorGryphons game, at 8:15 pee eem.

team. At first half, Waterloo was down 10, and then made a speedy recovery to defeat the Guelph team by 7 points.‘ \ Assistant-coach Slowikowski believes that his teamlis very enthusiastic and thus progressive. “The boys all have a very edger attitude and are very willing to learn’ ’ . To have an excellent team you recquire the simultaneotis interactions of skill and qttitude. The Spartans do. If you come early again this Saturday for the Warrior‘ game against the Guelph Gryphons, you may catch the end of the Spartan ga?e as they battle the Guelph junior varsity team. The competition promises to be excellent, so why not take the extra time to support the Spartans: the team with poise, skill and potential for futur& Wgrri0r.s.

If you came early last Friday in order to get better seats for the ’ WaI’rior-Brock game, you probably saw a strange team wearing “Waterloo” shirts. These are the Spartaris and they are a junior varsity basketball team. The Spartans are coached by Court, Heinbuck, and assistant-coach, Richard Slowikowski. Their opponents on F&day were the Intramural All-stars. The result of the game was 96-43, in favour of the Spartans. The junior varsity teap is composed of first year students, who excelled in basketball in highschool.

The Warriors tdok over soletpossession of the first place in the Western Division last week with commanding victories over the Western Mustangs and the,Wilfrid ‘ Laurier Golden Hawks. The Warriors travelled to London last Thursday night to defeat the Mustangs on their own home territory by a 7-4 score. Western opened the scoring shortly after the first face off, netting a goal at the 16 second mark. Waterloo responded two minutes later on a marker by Harry Robock. The- Warriors had some difficulty organizini their play in this period and were unsuccessful in their powerplay attempts. Western took the lead halfway through the second period when one Mustang player profited from a broken stick to Warrior Mike Zettel to give him a clear shot on net. Warrior Ron Hawkshaw scored his first of two goals, when he stationed himself iff front of the Mustang net and made good a side pass from Mike Guimond, With 40 seconds remaining in the period, Western regained the lead on a g&al by Dave Edwards. The third period related a new story as the Warriors came on strong netting the’first of fo.ur consecutive goals at the 56 second mark, when Guimond tipped in Randy Stubel’s shot from the point. Stubel then netted one of his own on a slapshot from the point. Hawkshaw scored his second goal when he’ regained control of the puck he had intended for Guimond and fired it by Mustang goalie Chris Cathcart. Guimond accounted for the fourth Waterloo goal when he scored on Zettel’s rebound. Western managed one more before Warrior Lee Barnes ended the game with an unassisted goal when he skated through two Western defencemen with less than a minute remaining. Bob Hnatyk played a strong game for the Warriors, coming up with key saves where it counted, stopping 37 of 41 attempts. The Warriors second big win was over the Gqlden Hawks. This game was a necessary win for the Warriors who had lost two previous games this season to their in-town opponents. . /

Seven of the seventeen goals scored in this game were netted in the last ten minutes of the first period, four by the Golden Hawks and three by the Warriors. Connecting for the Warriors were Jeff Fielding, Mike Zettel and Bill Daub. Waterloo marksmen hetted the only three goals scored in the second period. Lee Barnes and Ron Hawkshaw each scored goals on an out of position Laurier goaltender while Bill Stinson’s goal was on a hard shot from the blue line, giving the Warriors a two goal lead going into the final period. An additional seven goals were scored in this frame with the Warriors rallying for five. Mike Guimond paced the Warriors with three and singles went to Eric Brubacher and Jeff Fielding (his second of the game). ’ With less than three minutes left, many brawls erupted leading to the eventual clearing of the benches. The ice surface was a maze of gloves and sticks as referees tried to regain contr’ol of the game, finally evicting several players from each team to their respective dressing rooms. ’ _-. The Warriors played the Blues-in Toronto Wednesday night, however results were unavailable at press time. Their only scheduled game for. this week will be played tonight when they host the Brock Badgers at 8 p.m. at the Barn. -4iskris

Athena biballers Last Saturday, the Basketball Athenas travelled- to Windsor to play the Lancerettes in what was an important game in the struggle for a play-off .position. The Athenas came off a five hour bus ride psychedsup and shooting well enough to run Windsor off the court and yet came out on the losing end of a 54-38 contest. Although disappointing, the game highlighted Waterloo’s aggressive play and showed a balance in scoring shared by Barb Bensonwith 9 points, Carla Organ with 8

points, and Kris Ashbury and Debbie Sadler each with 6 points. Debbie Sadler, newly acquired after Christmas, was a leader on the court as she pulled down 9 rebounds to provide a double threat on the boards with Barb, Benson who had 13 rebounds. The Athenas played Saturday’s game without veteran guard Vicki Szoke who had other commitments. This left the three rookie guards with an opportunity to gain’ experience and the result was promising. Coach Sally Kemc’s comments after the game were optimistic as she pointed out that techniques learned in practice began to work in a game situatuon. The Athena:s shooting percentage was a dismal 26 and will have to improve over the last four games of the regular sc_hedule for %terloo to gain that play-off position.

ski meet The University bf Waterloo hkld the Waterloo Invitational Ski Meet at Georgian Peaks on January 24. About 80 men and 45 women from Ontario Universities competed as teams and individuals in the race consisting of two giant slalom run& Many people hoped Waterloo’s Carolyne Oughten would steal the show by taking first place. Instead, she stole the show by blasting out of the starting gate and one of her ski bindings. Rike Wedding’s two good runs won h,er fourth place in the womens individual competition. Virginia Medley also finished both runs, leaving Waterloo with only two of the three fihishers necessary to place well in the women’s team-standings. Waterloo’s top seeded male, Eric Schneider, turned in the best . performance for .the men’s team. John Todd and Jeff Pearson both had respectable times in the first run and fell in the afternoon run. In spite of the four good results in the first run, binding problems and spills prevented a high team standing: Western won the women’s team competition. A strong men’s team from Queens narrowly beat their opponents from Carleton. Gatekeepers and racers collected in the bar after the race, apparently celebrating a well managed and enjoyable meet. -brute

On Wednesday, the Athenas played the hosts of this weekends Challenge Cup II tournament-the team from Laurier. The Athenas swept the team right off the floor by’ defeating them 1510, 15-5 and 15- 1. The Waterloo team had ample time to think about placement of the ball in this match. Not only were the opponents slow in defensive play, but also offensive tactics -were so predictable, that the Athenas almost fell asleep while waiting for the ball.. -The Laurier team held a’ threatening lead at the beginning of the third game, ‘l-6 over the Athenas. That was probably the ’ most exciting event in that match. Later, a match against the team from Guelph was featured. Athenas once again controlled the ball and played a “smart” game. The first two games both resulted in a score of 15-5, for the Athenas. One would probably anticipate a third game with similar results, but on the contrary, the team from Guelph pulled their socks up and ’ lead with a score of 6-2 early in the game. The Athenas then got it together to make for a 8-7 lead. They held on to their lead steadfast, and finally killed the Guelph team with two of Sindy ,MacOvik’S super

diagonal spikes, another by Judy Rash, four knock-out serves by Roberta Awde and the winning point by Sir&y MacOvik, to conclude the game at 15-7. Last weekend the women travelled to Windsor. In the match against the Windsor University, the Athenas won three ‘games to one. In the match against Western, the women lost three games. Honourable mention must be given to the Athenas, for their efforts against Western. The competition was good and close. In one game, the Athenas had to succumb to the Western team by a score of 17-15.,-At a time like this, when that one serve didn’t make it over the net, the team can either make or break the game, and for the Athenas it was the latter. Good competition is predicted %,I for the Challenge Cup II tourna‘merit at Laurier University this afternoon and Saturday. Twelve Ontario teams will be participating. At the Challenge Cup I tournament in Guelph, last term, the Athenas defeated Queen’s in the finals after smashing York in the semi-finals. Queen’s defeated Western in the semis to face the Waterloo Athenas in the finals. -helen

Since 1965 when the Counselling Services operation was established with a good deal of university support, tothe‘time that the Special Review Committee was struck, Counselling Services was given a “free hand” within the lim$s of its budget. -. Why all of a-sudden in 1973 did the university’administration begin to question it? It appears. that no matter how-we deal with 1the question lwe arrive back at the Giver/ sity modus operandi-money and its allocation. . In 1972-73 VW experienced for the-first time inits history budget freezes and cutbacks. A dictate from the government put a freeze on capital expenditures and furnish- j ings and at the same time_students tuition was increased by $100. The-university in responding to a possible crisis (a crisis that two yearslater is real) was looking around for ‘targets. A potential bull’s &ye was ’ found in the low- profile offered by Counsel-’ ling Services. -- Unfortunately, the university in times of budget restrictions does not review all of its operations with equal vigour. Certain allo- ’ cations remain committed and unquestioned.- Most notably that of salaries’ for administrators andtenured faculty. It is not , the intent of this report to question such ’ allocations; it is mentioned only to iliustrate that inasmuch as salaries comprise approximately 65 percent of the university c budget, then areas of possiblecutbacksare I limited. I -r Needless to say, one of these areas is Counselling Services. Budget cutbacks can take place in two ways-They can take the form of direct financial reduction andror they can take the ,form of static finances ’ over time coupled with increased service. The former method- means, that for less money equivalent or reduced services are expected. The-latter method, in times of, high inflation,- implies, that for less money more services -are expected. Counselling , services has been the target for both direct ’ and indirect budget1 cutbacks. ’ ’ ,’ L Matthews’memo of May 14,1973 states that, “the -total amount ‘of- money made available. to. support c~ounse1ing. services on campus will not increase during 197475.5’ The 1973/74 budget-of $laS,-OOO was to remain the saine for 1974/75.. \ Es-,/‘ -

timating inflation at that time to be about 12 percent, this means that Counselling Services budget was actually decreased by, $22,200. The next stage in Counselling Services budget cutbacks occurred in ‘December of . last year. On December 3, Bill Dick, Director of Counselling Services, received a telephone call from Pat Robetison, Director of Academic Services, informing.him to ex_pect bad news concerning his budget at the upcoming meeting of Academic Services heads on Dec.4. Bill Dick had a oneday warning that Counselling Services was in for more trouble. Not much time to prepare a defence. At the Dec.4 meeting, Counsellifig Services’ budget was cut by another $25,000, the third such cutback in two years, amounting to a/total and outrageous reduction (not including itiflation) of 30.5 percent. At t?le Counselling Sei-vices staff meeting of Dec. 17, Pat Robertson accounted for his decision by stating that in his opinion, Counselling Services was not high on the priorities rn terms of iniportant student services offered to the University. If future - university cutbacks are necessary, Counselling Services (they were told) could expect more of the same. ,

What recourse does Counselling Services have to defend itself? The administrator responsible for the organization, the person who should represent Counselling Services budgetary interests to the University is the same person who is reduzing their budget. The facvlty on this campus has the faculty association to safeguard its interests; the staff has a staff association and the students have the Federation of Students. Counselling Services, however, is a low-profile organization whose sole purpose is to assist members of the univer, sity community in times of trouble. Its existence seems to depend on the good will of some university administrators. What does it mean not to be a priority’in terms of important, student services? What research has been conducted to back up such a claim? What criterion is employed in deciding which is the most important Co-ordination and Placement, servicethe Library or Counselling Services? ’ In 1966, the Committee of Presidents of Universities of Ontario wrote that “Experience has shown that academic problems cannot be separated from emotional problems. . .It is now widely recognized that the university must take responsibility for helping the student keep fit mentally as well as physically, so that he/she makes the _-most of his/her academic opportunities.” In 1968, the UW Ad Hoc Committee on Counselling Services chaired, by Provost W.G. Scott, wrote that “counselling-and advising functions must of necessity be carried on at all levels and in all branches of the university in order to meet the special problems which university students confront, a@ in order that the student’s university experience in his/her development as a person be complete.” In 1972, University Affairs carried an article in which a faculty committee in recommending the establishment of a Counselling Service w?ote that: “A counselling service in th& university is concerned with enabling the student to realize his/her full potelitial within the academic environment.” The article goes on to suggest that Counselling Services is therefore an integral part of the educational process. And in 1973, the Special Review Committee on Counselling Services at the Uni-

versity of Waterloo Counselling Services

recommended be continued.

Not a Luxury The Federation of Students agrees with the above statements from faculty, student and university administrators. We ;do not consider counselling to be a luxury service that can be disregarded in times of financial crisis. We do not conGder education-to be defined by classroom walls. Universities are places where people come to learn and therefore to change. For students it is a time for growth and development in more respects tHan what can be recorded on our transcripts. Many ofas don’t only learn here, we live here, we love here -and for some of us it is a time for.immenSe emotional, social and intellectual. problems. Unfortunately counselling for some students is.a matter of life and death. Compare, for example, UW’s low rate of suicide with the increasingly prevalent rate of suicide among Canada’s youth. The university’s contribution to these problems cannot be ignored, and its responsibility for attempting td solve these problems cannot be denied. Nor is counselling services a service that exists, to serve a small group of “sick” students. Research evidence indicates othenvise. Campbell (1965), for instance, has estimated that 49 percent of all students working towards a bachelor’s degree in the sciences, arts or literature, seek and receive counselling during their university careers. It has also been demonstrated that students who seek counselling are quite similar to those who do not. When differences are seen, they tend to indicate that seekers score higher on measures .of abilities, intelligence and imagination. A look at the UW Counselling Statistics for fhe year 1973/74 can only confirm the above point. a) Approximately 970 people (preddminantly students) obtained individual counselling. b) Approximately 125 students participated in the 15 grqups led by counselling staff. c) A total of 533 vocational interest tests were administered. d) Five hundred and fifty students participated \in the reading and academic skills classes. These figures do not include those students who were assisted through the International Students Office, nor those who made use of the career information centre. They do not include those students who were helped by Counselling Services assisted organizations such as Hi-Line or the Birth Control Service. Hi-Line, for example, between September 14, 1972 and January 3 1, 1973 \ had1 made 366 contacts and Birth Control within the same period had 1,406 contacts. The above figures also do not include those students seen by’ counsellors within faculty units and at health services. There can be no doubt that a high percentage of university students seek out the services offered by the Counselling Centre.

,, ’

Are students helped? The question can be’ raised: “Are students helped by counselli&g-does it make a difference?” The available research in regard to these questions, leads us to believe that there are definite positive , academic and vocational gtiins with counselling. Campbell (1965), for example, cites 21 positive outcome studies, out of a total.of 24. At the time of Counselling Services’ submission to the Special Study Commit-

tee it was demonstrated that out of the 54 studies conducted on the effectiveness of counselling in the university setting, 48 supcorted the notion ythat counselling facilitates academic development. Many studies have indicated that many students withdraw from university for psycho-social as opposed to strictly academic reasons; Miller (1968) at Oxford found that over half the undergraduates who missed a term or more did so because of some type of psychdlogical disturbance. Hirsch and Keniston’s (1970) study of talented Yale dropouts indicated that those students who withdrew did so for other than academic, disciplinary, or medical reasons. Other studies, investigating the interrelationship of academic problems and emotional :factor,s indicate that when emotional probletns exist they are of more importance than academic ability in affecting performance. (Farnsworth, 1966; Kohn and Levinson, 1965; Ryle and Lungh, . 1968). Counselling appears to aid these students who would leave university out of psychological distress. Volsky et al (1965) found that counselled students did much better academically as cOrnpared to students who had requested counselling but had not received it. Campbell (1965) found that the graduation rate for counselled students was 25 percent higher than for noncounselled students. He further indicated that the higher the degree, the greater the likelihood that counselling had been received along <the way. Faries (1955) reported 77 percent of counselled students graduated, compared with 51 percent for a matched sample of non-counselled. Shephard (1965) found 5 1 percent of counT selled and 37 percent of non-counselled graduated. Numerous other investigators report similar findings.

Likely to graduate Not only is the counselled student more likely #to graduate, she/he is also likely to improve academically (grade point average) and to receive more honours at gradu- -(

ationand in later life (i.e., academic awards’ and scholarships, athletic awards, patents, publications; etc.). Many studies have documented and demonstrated that counselling in general does facilitate scholarship (Abel, 1967; Chestnut, 1965; Ewing and Gilbert, 1967; Glofka et al, 1969; Heaps, 1970;. . .). It should be noted: th& the above findings only relate to academic’ matters; they do not mention the imprpvements in the student’s experience tif his/her everyday life at university and ‘in later years. Iti deciding whether or not a service should be maintained or curtailed it is first necessary to ascertain whether or not-if is useful and whether or not it is necessary. Considering the number of students who use Counselling Services, considering the _ scope and quality of Counselling Services programmes, and considering the above research findings, the Federation of Students can only conclude that Counselling Services is a necessary and vital service and that the budget cutback of 30.5 percent cannot be justified. What is the contrary evidence that would lead the Director of Academic Services to conclude that Counselling Services is not high on the priorities of important student services? The Federation of Students is only too well aware of the financial crisis that the university is in. It is our intention and our . hope that we can work together with the. university faculty, staff and administration in the search f& solutions and compromises. ‘However, we are also well ’ aware that in times of financial crisis the student is often the first to suffer the consequences. It is our fear that with the curtailment of student services and the in. creased student-teacher ratios, that the university will become more of a dehumanized institution and. that the,student in a time of crisis will have nowhere to.*go. The Federaion of Students considers Counselling Services to be a necessary and useful university student service. The resulting reduction in staff and programmes that will result from the budget cutback will severely affect many stiidents.
