Towler told the chevron that the courses were dropped because they were special topics which can only be run for one year apd after they would have to go through certain procedures at the university. These procedures, however, are very simple,says Gupta, in a matter of minutes the course outlines could be passed. through UGAG, and then p.ut-on the college curriculum. The omission of Sach’s’ name from beneath the three Chinese thought and culture courses which she has been teaching in the Renison arts department appears inexplicable. Everyone contacted about this said that it was not normal to insert part-time profs. But the only other course listed under the Renison Arts department bears the name of T. Kobayashi. Kobayashi is a part-time professor. And there are others listed.

Once upon a time there was a student who selected herself out of a summer job. (Oh no, we’re not just picking on girls. We’ve seen guys do it, too.) She wanted to be an architect, this kid. So’she held out for a job that had something to do with architecture. None came along that yeav, and by the time she decided to settle for something else, it was too late. All the jobs were gone. So was her first yeav’s tuition. Moral: Don’t hold out fbr the impossible dream. Who knoys.Your Canada Manpbwer Centre might introduce you to a whole new field.

Students’ council decided Sunday to pay legal fees of three executive members who claimed they were assaulted Saturday afternoon while investigating alleged violence --* at an Anti-Imperialist Alljance (AIA) conference. Federation of Students president John Shortall, education chairman Shane Roberts and publications chairman (and departing chevron editor) Randy Hannigan, will be backed by council if they press assault charges against several security personnel of the AIA Political Economy of Canada conference. Council will -also provide legal aid, if necessary, to Radio Waterloo reporter Bill Culp who claimed his glasses were broken while being evicted from the conference, moments after the federation officials. Culp told councillors that he had pre-registered by mail as a delegate to the I conference. In addition, council set up committee to examine the incident and suspended all funding to AIA pending an inquiry report. Meanwhile-, an AIA spokeswoman-admitted there were incidents at the .conference but stated thatthey were caused by people bent on disrupting the event. In a report to council, Shortall said he was approached early ‘Saturday afternoon by two people (members of the Young Socialists) who claimed they were assaulted and ejected from the conference, and as the federation co-sponsored the programme he decided to investigate the matter. So accompaniedI$Roberts, Hannigan, the two complainants and two others, Shortall argued that he tried to discuss the incid>nt with the conference co-ordinator as he “felt it important to know who had hit 1 -them.” I , * But before the co-ordinatorcould convene a steering committee-meeting, a scuffle erupted involving Roberts, who had just identified one of the assailants pointed out to him by one of the Young Socialists, Hannigan and himself, Shortall said. “I was. pushed into a wall and was ‘punched and kicked,” Shortall asserted. He said he appealed for “reasonable people to stop this sort of activity’.’ but to no avail. After the federation officials and companions were flushed bu -i , they called the campus security to give reports of the assaults, Shortall averred. Shortall was countered by councillor Barb Innes (also AIA chairwoman) who in a press release, stated federation officials “swaggered into the registration-area, disrupting small group discussions . : . .Tlie president of the Federation of Students demanded to speak with one of the conference co-ordinators . . .This co-ordinator suggested that a meeting be held. . .in an area where it would not disrupt the proceedings of the conference.” But “Shane Roberts. . refused to co-operate. . .and began rudely shovregistered ing a tape recorder into the faces of several delegates .I .Roberts began’collecting the names of people pointed out arbit,rarily by the Young Socialists (the two complainants) fir arrest and ellected information for charges.” When the “intruders refused to comply” with a request to-stop disrupting the conference, they “were lead towards the door by persons %responI sible for security,” Innes said. Innes then went on to -explain that the two Young Socialists were ejected when’they “announced their intention to ‘expose’ the AntiImperialist Alliance and have>t banned from campus by the Federation of Students”. Earlier, she said they “stated that they had come to ‘observe’the proceedings, not to participate in the conference.” 1 Moreover, Innes said, that: “Because the -executive members of the federation did not attempt to investigate the reasons for the ejection of the Young Socialists prior to organizing their own disruption of the conference, they fell into the trap laid by the Young Socialists.” “The Young Socialists are a Trotskyist group. . .Trotskyist groups have attempted to disrGptAIA meetings in the past, and the AIA has passed a motion to oppose and expose Trotskyism,” Innes said. of the federation execu. Therefore, according to Innes, the: “members tive tried to accomplish what the Young Socialists could not, the hisruption of a legitimate conference on a topic of great importance to the Canadian people. The members of the federation executive served as willing dupes who objectively assisted the Y&oung Socialists in the execu” tion of a crude plot? .a z However, “the sinister and diabolical motives of the .Young Socialists and their dupes, the unity and seriousness of the-Political Economy of Canada conference were preserved by correct and legal action,” Innes said. When queried by councillor Robbie Mock as to why violence was justified in the ejection, Innes stated: “Any acti-on that is necessary I to make them leave ‘-is necessary. ”_ She pointed out that none of the evieted : people were re’gistered delegates. Former federation president Andy Telegdi said he was concerned about the political tactics going on at the conference.“ ‘Are we going to allow goon squads to threaten federation people.aridvisitors?” he asked. Giving some background on the incident, Roberts said the federation paid for the conference’s publicity on the stipulation that the event would be “open”. So when he heard about the expulsion of the Young Socialists, he “went there to clarify the matter”. * . “We went there as federation officials 20 inquire about the incident,” Roberts said. And to avoid further violence the federation “intends to press charges,” hesaid. . B

There is a growing demand for men and ‘women with the professional skills and insights of the RIA Management Accountant. ,And no wonder. Decisions are more crucial than ever in today’s economy. Top management in business and government needs all the help it can get. RIA’s are uniquely qualified to play a part. . Why? Because our study program goes beyond a thorough study of accounting, computers and data processing. It also includes such fields as report writing, organizational behaviour and management processes.

Due to the limitations placed by the federal government on students carrying visas, many international students on this campus find themselves having financial troubles. Tp help with these and other problems, the International StudentOffice which is part of Counselling Services employs two part-time people. . Ruth Rempel and Mayling Stubbs each work pi&time with the Intemational Student Office while carrying on their regularjobs as counsellor and -. secretary within Counselling Services. Both have expressed their concern for.the problems that face the international students on campus. According to Stubbs, international students who carry student visas .must meet certain immigration requ@-ements during the course of their studies in Canada. In order to obtain a student visa, the individual must . meet certain requirements. The student must show proof of acceptance in an approved course of studies in Canada, evidence of financial support, good health, and moral character. ’ *Generally, these visas must&be renewed yearly and students must be prepared to show evidence of good standing in the University. Also, they * must show proof of sufficient funds to finance the coming year-a -. minimum of $2,500.

Rosie Douglas

at JJW

Green pa.per bkste Intent on getting right to the heart of the issue, Rosie Douglas flatly states that as far as he’s co& cerned the green paper on immigration is nothing more than -an attempt on the part of the beneficiaries of Canadian monopoly capitalism to hinder growth of working class solidarity by blaming “them foreigners” instead of monopoly capitalism for Canada’s problems. Speaking on “Racism and Canadian Immigration” Douglas offers a compelling analysis of the events that have led to his impending deportation as a “risk to national security. ’ ’ It started six years ago when, as an activist pressing for an inquiry into faculty racial prejudice, he was one of 97 students arrested at a confrontation at Sir George Williams University held in response to administration inaction. Though .a11 charges and evidence was against all the participants, bail for black students averaged about $5,000 Iagainst an average of $1,000 for white students. Bail,. for Douglas was set at $14,000 and included confiscation of his passport though he had no previous convictions. No one was charged with anything more than participating in an illegal sit-in. !Only five students were imprisoned and sentences ranged from, six months to two years for Rosie. All of the 26 Caribbean students convicted were served deportation orders which w.ere later dropped. In addition to the highest bail and the two year sentence Rosie was, served’ with a special certificate signed by soliciter-s general Warren Allmand and im-’ migration minister Robert Andras branding his as a “risk to national security”. This document, unsub,stantiated with proper evidence, arbitrarily prevents Douglas from appealing his deportation on humanitarian grounds. He has also been charged with moral turpitude. Since serving his sentence Rosie has involved himself in building a mass campaign to fight racist immigration policy and ‘particularly the deportation of 1500 Haitians. Douglas Corelyn tivist who struck in by police struction equipment.

dedicated the meeting to Hutchison, a fellow acDouglas witnessed being the head with a rifle butt during the infamous deof Royal Bank computer Her face was also used

to snub out a cigar as she lay on the floor. She later died of the resultant brain tumour. Though the computer incident has been erroneously associated with the Sir George Williams sit-in by the Canadian press., to Douglas these distinct incidents are part of a struggle in which Douglas feels race and class oppression are complexly interrelated. This is a vital consideration in an assessment of the Green Paper on Immigration which concludes that pollution, social problems, urban congestion, housing and arable land shortages are all related to lax immigration policy. Consequently, since ~an excess of immigrants and not monoQoly capitalism are at the root of Canada’s problems, the solution is simple; restrict immigration ,,partitularly from Asia, Africa and Latin America. However, to Douglas, this type of racism is basic to the Canadian monopoly capitalistic structure. He observes that the fundamental contradiction of the capitalistic structure is the control of the means of production, arid to this end workers must unite to. form a solid organization to assert their rightful control. But by blaming incoming foreign workers for its problems, the government is playing on prejudices of Canadian workers against workers of other nationalities-the very people that should be uniting to address the main probiem. For, indeed, Canadian imperialism oppresses the foreign worker as much, if not more, than it oppresses Canadian workers: A very personal concern, Douglas points out that Canadian business has heavily infiltrated the, Caribbean economies. Also, Canadian mining companies such as Falconbridge exploit black workers in South ,Africa. The Royal Bank annually collects $200 million inprofits from one billion dollars worth of investments in the Caribbean. Even tourist trade investment takes back 93 cents on every dollar spent, Parasitic Canadian exploitation in Haiti is heavily responsible for the average life span of only 29 years. Consistently, then, do Canadian capitaiists regard native workers as so much wealth to be exploited at attractively inexpensively inexpensive rates. In effect \ .

what Canadian economic policy does is reap enormous profits from workers who struggle with poverty, then blames them’for troubles at home when they try toescape the poverty by emigrating to Canada. Historically as well, previous immigration policy has only allowed any significant influx of third world workers when the indigenous labour supply will not fill the low paying, manual labour jobs. From the Chinese labourers recruited to construct the rail system that spans this country, to the Caribbean natives employed in fruit picking, Canadian imperialism has seen fit to use the races services of “distasteful” when convenient. And when recession hits, they become the scapegoats of a corrupt system. Government and business have represented the interests and prejudices of one select group even to the point of introducing a bill in Parliament to prohibit. black emigration. This bill only fell because the Laurier government lost power. In short, Rosie Douglas feels he is another victim of a system that uses racism as a tool to further its own ends. And with legislation like the Green Paper it effectively can disrupt any potential opposition. Rosie urges all black students studying here at UW to join forces with workers here and in their native countries instead of becoming the well educated accomplices of the oppressors of their people. -ralph

Auld- _ _ plans tour -, OTTAWA (CUP)-James Auld’s planned tour of Ontario colleges and universities, announced here March 6, will take place, but not as originally planned. At the time of the first announcement it was said the -Minister of Colleges and Universities would visit each campus this spring. \ But Auld’s executive assistant, Clair Hoy , said in an interview Friday (March 14) that Auld has decided to visit as many campuses as possible over the next few weeks,

but the major portion of the tour will have to await the fall. , Reporting on his discussion with Auld that same morning, Hoy said: “The general conclusion we came to is that visiting campuses after early April would be a waste of time as far as meeting students are concerned.” He cited student examination and essay due dates as the primary concern. The major thrust of the campus visits by -the minister is to participate in “bear-pit” sessions with students and faculty, but semester-end pressures -would make it difficult for students to attend, he said. He estimated that Auld will be able to visit about seven or eight campuses over the next few weeks, but the specific campuses will not be decided until the institutions have been consulted. According to Hoy, Auld will

spend a few hours on each campus. He will probably meet with the university presidents and Boards of Governors, attend -bear-pit sessions and meet with the student and outside press. Hoy stressed that “the bear-pit sessions are the main purpose of..the visit.” He also emphasized that the visit provided .an opportunity for members of the student press to question Auld directly about provincial education and financing policies. Auld has received criticism in the student press not only for hjs policies but also for allegedly avoiding meetings with students and answering questions from the press. In the last two weeks Auld has sent letters to the editors of the Excalibur at York University and the Charlatan at Carleton University denying he has been “elusive.”

YS vs L ;\ CPC(ML) ’ A:On Saturday, March 15, two members of the Young Socialists (YS) tried to attend an afternoon- session of (a conference sponsored by the Anti-Imperialist Alliance (AIA) and the Federation but ended up being physically removed from the building. The YS had received a brochure in ’ their postal box announcing-the conference on political economy and had seen a notice * which proclaimed: “Everyone interested in Political Economy of Canada Welcome”. c .The press release of the AIA on the incident implies that the YS members refused to cooperate in the registration procedure and that their “attitude” led them to be ejected from the meeting. The “attitude” referred to may have consisted of the fact that the YS members didn’t conceal their political affiliation on the registration forms It is a well-known fact that the AIA and the CPC(ML) have already proclaimed that--all “Trotskyists” should be banned from campus. The YS members did not think that this would be a problem at a Federation-supported conference. Obviously we were wrong. The two YS members had just registered and were looking at some of the literature on display (even buying a copy of the AI A’ s paper, “UNITY”) when they were approached by a conference functionary on the pretext that he had something to+ discuss with them. The person led them down a hall where several “security” personnel of the conference awaited them. 8 They were then told that they were not wanted at the conference. After a brief protest onthe part of the YS members, they were forcibly -dected. One of our members had visible bruises about the head as a result of the handling of the AIA or CPC(ML) security personnel. The response,of the YS members was to inform Federation members of the incident and to ask them to find out why the YS was excluded from the conference. Three Federation members, a Chevron staffer, the two original YS members plus myself went back to the meeting in order to find out the reasons for the forcible evictions. The Federation members voiced their opposition to the exclusions and wanted to determine who the indviduals involved were. At that time we had no idea of involving campus security, otherwise we would not have consented to go back over to the engineering complex. .The inquiries on the part of Federation people and the attempt to come face-to-face with the people who had thrown out the Young Socialists, were met with another forcible ejection, this time of a total of seven people. - Exclusions and ejections also occurred in the case of Radio Waterloo personnel. Again the methods of the “security” people became evident: one radio reporter was punched to the head, sustaining visible bruises, and had his glasses broken. In the aftermath of all these incidents, some Federation people are considering laying charges against AIA members involved. At official meetings of Students Council, particularly at the executive meeting on Sunday afternoon, the-Young Qcialists argued against the laying of charges. They , further argued against the notion of banning the AIA or cutting off their funds. The AIA allegations, that it was the YS who screamed about “banning” the AIA, calling the police, etc. is patently false. This should be clear to anyone who has any inkling about our politics and who has read our columns.. We feel that “banning” left groups on campus and taking court action is a mistake on the grounds that it ‘will further divide the left on campus and- that it will not help the cause of clarifying the real political issues. We, the Young Socialists, protest the use of force on the’part of the AIA and the

CPC(ML) in a meeting which was supposedly open. Such actions harm the entire left. They confuse students and divert their attention away from thereal enemy, the rulers of this country and their political system. They bolster the illusions and the mistrust fostered by the ruling class about the left-that radical groups are simply warring factions, dogmatic, an’tidemocratic organizations seeking to impose their views on people. They turn the left inward on itself, isolating it from the students and leaving it helpless in the face of the-state. By substituting blows for political discussion the CPC(ML) and the AIA is injuring the student and workers movement. The CPC(ML) does not need to censor whose views will be heard. Anyone can judge for him or herself the merits of the Trotskyist ideas of the Young Socialists. We call on the AIA and the CPC(ML) to publicly repudiate the actions by their members last weekend and to pledge that in the future it will usediscussions anddebate as a way of resolving political differences. We point-by way of contrast and example-to the recent Rosie. Douglas meeting, where several student organizations and Federation co-operated to build a successful meeting. The last minute withdrawal of the AIA sponsorship was unfortunate; we would have hoped they would not take such a sectarian stance. -The reasons the AIA gave for not cosponsoring the meeting (“because the YS is not a legitimate left organization”) is consistent with their slander of the Young Socialists. It is not sufficient to merely read a proclamation -denouncing your opponents or to use force to evict them from meetings; we call on all groups, on the left to condemn these tactics and we challenge the AIA and the CPC(ML) to public debate ’ on their views.

Web&e& definition Undoubtedly this issue of the Chevron will contain discussion of the recent symposium on the political economy of Canada which was sponsored by the AntiImperialist Alliance. At this “symposium” people were denied admission because of their political beliefs and others were forcibly evicted from the proceedings. We have seen and heard a great deal ’ from thisAnti-Imperialist Alliance on campus this term. Many students, including myself I must confess, are still in the embryonic stages of developing political consciousness. To us, the words and deeds of this AntiImperialist Alliance are sometimes bewil\ dering and confusing. I study physics I am too unsophisticated in my.. political philosophy to be able to judge exactly what ‘is the hature of this so-called “Anti-Imperialist Alliance”. I hear them and I see them and I remain confused. So rather than attempt to contribute to the discussion of the nature of this, AntiImperialist Alliance, I would just like to end this letter by quoting from page 825 of The Unabridged-Edition of Webster’s Third New International Dictionary. The emphasis, I should note, is mine. “Fascism (It. fascismo, fr. fascia; bundle, political group --ismo-ism). 1: the principles of the Fascisti; also: the movement or governmental regime embodying their principles 2a: any program for setting up a centralized autocratic national regime with severely nationalistic policies, exercising regimentation of industry, commerce and finance, rigid censorship, and forcible suppression -of opposition b: any tendency toward or actual exercise of severe autocratic or dictatorial control (as over others within‘ an organiza- ’

tion) (the nascent fascism of a detective who is not content merely to do his duty-George Nobbe) (a kind of personal fascism, a dictatorship of the ego over the more-generous elements of the soul -Edmond Taylor)” We have heard who this Anti-Imperialist Alliance say they are. But l/et us judge themby their actions. . ,

tension in the Village? Judging by the high demand on Village accommodations (boy, have they got alot to learn) it certainly would be feasible?or is it too expensive to replace a few urinals with toilets? Then there is food (I use the term loosely). There is little that I can say to praise Village food. It stinks. Yes, I know that they’re doing their best, but isn’t there a better way? I have to ask myself, must meals be obligatory? How about an optional meal plan, and for those who wish to cook for themselves, the kitchenettes in the lounges could easily be equipped with sufficient facilities (oven, dishes, cutlery, toaster, kettle, pots & pans-stove and fridge already there) to enable this to come about. For those who wish to have the Village cook for them, well, there would be considerably lower volume, with a proportional increase in the quality. This would definitely be a gross improvement over the present situation. I feel that one should be able’ to walk from any one point to any oTherpoint in the Village without having to go outside. It riles ,me that when I go to pick up a pizza from the Palace, it gets quick-frozen before I can get it back to my room. There should be covered and heated corridors leading from Green dining hall to Blue, from West 6 to West I, and from South 4 to South 7 & 8. There should also be covered and heated access from all four quads to tge central roof complex (administration, tuck shop, Pizza Palace, and Great Hall). It wouldn’t hurt either to-connect up the “girl’s sid& and the “guy’s side” in each quad. Is there any wonder that the incidence of colds, flu, and mono is so high in the Village? How about Village pubs? (for you, Vil, lage Council) I feel like a sardine-every time I go to one, and I don’t think that I’m alone on this either. There is no way that so many people should be allowed into a Village I pub (the ones held in Red & Green dining halls). The maximum number of maple allowed in by the LiL.B.0. is based on full occupancy of both dining halls-but without, exception, 80 per cent of the people congregate in the room where the band is playing. This makes the pub alot less enjoyable than it might be, not to mention the fire danger caused by this cramming. I definitely fee-l that the pubs should have fewer people indhem; if it means charging more, well then, charge more. It’ll still be the cheapest entertainment around. Starting this fall, it will cost the student $760.00 to live in a single room in Village I. This amounts to almost $48.00 per week, of which almost half goes to food. Villagers, do you feel that the food you are getting is worth $24.00 a week? I dare say that you could do a hell of a lot better than that if you bought and cooked it yourself. To the Administration of the Villages: It is my prophecy that you will be nowhere near full occupancy this fall if you don’t get off your asses and do something about\ the present situation. Considerably more flexibility in meal plans and cleaning service is required (I sure didn’t need a maid once a week to vacuum my room and change my bed). Students: Isn’t it about time you started screaming for some changes? The Village has its points, and is potentially a very desirable place to live, but not the way it presently stands. It is about time that the Villagers got what they need.

Liberirte who?

Ip answer to the Waterloo-Wellington Student Movement, I ask them what reason is there for practising revolution? Is it not supposed to be for people, to free them from, violence, exploitation, dehumanization and subservience? Free who from whom, to do what? To know how people are to be freed, we must understand the mechanisms of their bondage. The picture of one group holding - a whip over the heads of another group is a rather simplistic -depiction of society. Surely it is important to understand the features of all human beings and the imperatives of our culture that are reproduced in everyone. In the western world, the politics of accumulation create people who find identity and purpose in accumulating materials. Many must seek fulfillment from doing boring jobs, in some cases to provide minimum living stand_ards to their families. They feel their human worth only by degrading other groups, races, or sexes. The important pointis that this culture is‘ in every person. People act the way they do because they’see no choice, and few have resources to create an alternative. . Those who urge an end to privilege and wealth hoarding by a few at the expense of many are right in seeing this as a very necessary step to liberation. But is not the real reason for counter-revolution; the inability ‘of peoples in the past to take their lives into their-own hands, coupled with those reactionary elements who sought to “guide or lead”- the revolutionary forces towards the end product that the elitists_see as liberation? In a revolution where people don’t liberate their own minds, souls,‘and bodies, the people will end up following the new leaders, and what will be accomplished? To deny the human element of change that must take place in every individual is ‘Ito dehumanize a change that is for people, ‘1and so dehumanize the human race. How can we ever become human, if influential groups such as WWSM assert continually that humans are to be guided and led by the benevolent protectors WWSM and CPC(ML)? .

I came down to Waterloo the other weekend to see, the CIAU basketball Champion-ships. I stayed with some friends in Village I, where I had been in residence for my three most recent school terms. It wqs at this point that I finally realized why I hated the Village so much. There will have to be considerable changes before I’ ever’ consider staying- there again. In the first place, the male-female ratio is all wrong (about 3:l) and makes for some very unhealthy attitudes as far as malefemale relationships go. There is a general feeling among the men that “Village chicks are either 1) fat; 2) ugly; 3) snotty; or 4). already taken. The women don’t complain too- much about the ratio, of course; they’ve got theirpick. Would not a 1: 1 ratio be alot healthier, and help relieve some’

Cariadian political !econohy\ forum

From March 13-16, over 350 people from across Canada met at the University of Waterloo for a symposium on important questions relating to the political economy of Canada. The main speakers during the symposium, sponsbred by the . Anti-Imperialist Alliance, were UW history professor Leo Johnson and-Hardial Bains, chairman of the Communist Party of Canada (Marxist-Leninist). From the+outset, conference participants were encourage to make generous donations for the fbod, literature and documents available. , All money donated wentto the national liberation struggle of the Cambodian people. This symposium was the first of four conferences to be held over the next eight montlis. The next conference will be held in Montreal on the weekend sf April 25. The AIA has resolved to sponsor the three upcoming conferences, in _conjunction with other progressive student organizations. A handbook or journal to summarize the most important conclusions will be produced by the end of this period. While the speeches and discussions which occurred over the four day period cannot be easily farsummarized-they were reaching and very detailed-three main. areas were under intensive examination: the development of monopjbly capitalism i,n Canada, U.S. imperialist domination of Canada and an initial class analysis of this country.

On Monday, March 3, lawyers, executives, scientists, economists and many others with an interest in northern petroleum development braved the cold in Yhwknife, Northwest Territories’ (NWT), as the Berger Commission Inquii;y into the Mackenzie Valley Gas Pipeline got underway. The Inquiry will probably continue for at least nine months and will examine,the environmental, social and economic implications of’building a natural gas pipeline in the Mackenzie Valley. 1 * In 1968, large oil and gas reserves were discovered on the North Slope of Alaska at Prudhoe Bay. A small quantity of gas has been found-in the Mackenzie Delta in the NWT, but not enough to fqcilitate exploitation‘at this time. There is an American market for the Alaska oil and gas. Theproblem is how to transport it to market .,The Alaskan oil will be brought to market by the means of a-. Trans-Alaska Pipeline, and then byocean tanker down the west coast. However,there is still the problem of transporting the gas. One possibility is for it to follow the same route as the oil, but gas must be liquified before this can be done. It has been suggested that the most economical way of moving the gas would be through a Canadian pipeline from Prudhoe Bay, down the Mackenzie Valley to Alberta, and then to the U.S. midwest, prime marl& for natural gas. ’ This proposed pipeline would likely piggyback the s all amount of Canadian gas that has already been fo3l . d in the Mackenzie Delta. Proven reserves of Delta gas thus far wou_ld not justify a pipeline for only Canadian gas. Therefore the proposed pipeline would be built primarily for transportation of American gas. A, group of American andCanadian companies have combined to form a consortium called Canadian Arctic Gas Pipeline Ltd. and have applied to the Canadian government for \permission to build the Mackenzie Valley Pipeline. It is primarily anAme& can venture, but because it will cross Canadian soil, , the consortiuin must apply to the Canadian government for a right-of-way permit. They ‘must also apply to the National Energy Board (NEB) for a certificate of public convenience and an-export liI. cence, The NEB is concerned primarily with financial and economic aspects of the pipe&e. It is to decide whether or not Canadian reserves &i the Mackenzie Delta are large enough to warrant exploitition at this time. Prove,n reserves in the area now total seven trillion cubic feet and estimates as to economic. feasibility indicate that 5 minimum of fifteen trillion .m cubic feet is necessary.’ ’ The pipeline, which will be’about 2,Oa miles long,‘ is 4.8 inches in diameter, and will be buried throughout much of its length. Compressor stations will be required to chill’the gas and pump it through the line. The costs of construction have been estimated from seven to ten billion dollars. Oneof the positive benefits from the project so far has been the accumulation of a vast amount of data concerning the Canadian North. Canadian Gas Arctic Study limited has produced over thirty volumes of material on -the environmental, social and economic implications of the project. The Canadian government through its Environmental-Social Program-has conducted parallel studies which have been published through Infor-mation Canada. All of- this‘ material, plus all matter relevant to the project has been made public by Justice Berger. The Berger Commission was created on March .21, 1974 by an Order-in-Council on the recommenr

pipeline, as development moves northward. Gas feeder lines, also outside Berger’s terms of reference, are an important part of pipeline development, and under no-stretch< of the imagination can be divorced from it. These smaller gas lines will lead from individual drilling sites to the main trunk line, and can be expected to have many of the same effects as the main pipeline. Inpursuing a fair and open inquiry, it appears that E%rger recognized these terms of reference as only rough guidelines. He will listen to anyand all-arguments and-then make his recommendations to the I Cabinet. *

hearings

Preliminary hearings were held in late- April and early May of- 1974 in : Yellowknife, Inuvik,-Whitehorse and Ottawa. The main purpose of these hearings was to decideupon the time, procedure and scope of the formal hearings. Overview hearings were held in Yellowkiife from March 3 - 7,1975. They resembled a unrversity crash course in-the human; physical and biological environments of the north, as well as geotechnical-aspects of northern construction and a.history of the, natural.gas industry-I-Some of the topics discussed included geology, hydrology, permafrost, flora and L -_ fauna. The purpose of the overview was to provide everyone with a general knowledge of the M-a&ken-, zie Valley as it exists today, and existed in the past: Instead of going right into Overview Evidence on March 3, it-was decided to devote the‘ first day to position-statements from the various participants in order to make their concerns clear. Each group was well represented by its legal counsel. =The first person to speak was Mr. Genest, Coun- ’ se1 for Arctic Gas Pipeline Ltd He began by giving a brief description of the identity of Arctic Gas, the project description and cost of the pipeline, (tiich he cited to be $7 billion, not $10 billion, as rumour had,it); He then w&t on to say that “It is a project which we sub&is clearly in the national interest of Canada and which we also submit will bring substantial benefits to the people of the north. . .,y‘. He substantiated the position of Arctic Gas, that this project is the most economically feasible way to bring “badly needed Canadian- gas to Canadians”. . Foothills Pipeline’Ltdi canother consortium made up of solely Canadian companies wishing to submit a proposal in the near future, was’ represented by IX& ginald, Gibbs. He dwelt on the issue of Canadian control, and. the necessity of a smaller pipeline at lesscost proposed by .Foothills “. . .let us first recognizethat the Canadian Arctic-Gas project is no< designed to meet Canadian needs.” Canadian Arctic Resources Committee (CARC), the principal environmental intervenor was represented by counsel Russel Anthony. CARC takes the position that northern development generally proceeds on chopelessly -inadequate information”. CARC’s theme of participation is the “open-a window on the north” an&they hope to do this through the BergerCommission. They feel it is impo,rtant to unravel the process of bureaucracyin decision making, and explain alternatives and new review procedures to the public. CARC mistrusts the government’rrole in the hearings and feel that, “ . . . the Government is not interested in cooperating with a full and public inquiry”. CARC plans to examine the corridor concept of northern development and identify environments effects,

and what Arctic Gas proposes to do about them. Glen Bell appeared as counsel for the Indian Brotherhood and. Metis Association of the-Northwest Territories; He spoke of the enormity of this project and how it would be likely to effect northern people. Bell stressed the necessity and worth of the community hearings in identifying the views of the effected by the 6 people who would be directly pipelin&-He was skeptical of Arctic Gas’ premise ‘that Delta gas will soon be. needed by southern Canada and that the pipeline is inevitable: Bell expressed the view that this inquiry will bethe best way to tell Canada of the native position on land claims, and said that “we give priority to the issue relating to land claims”. The thesis of the groupswhich he represented is?& pipeline befvre a-land] claims settlement”. COPE (the Committee for Original,I%oples E&i-tlement) and ITC (Inuit Tapir%+ of Canada) were, represented ‘by John Bayley. Their preliminary stand is’that “: . .there must be no major development before the question of land claims has .been settled.” He also made a point of the fact COPE and ITC are not ‘prepared to bargain for cash, but the land claims issue rests with the control of lands and waters. The Council-. for Yukon Indians,. counsel Ron Veale, was formed to negotiate the land claims set’ tlement with the Government of Canada, and is opposed to a pipeline untilsuch settlement is reached. M Murray Sigler, counsel for the N.W.T. Association of municipalities, spoke of the concern over ongoing socialand economic impacts. The Association feels that “. . . the .municipal councils will be the ones, as a level of government+ who will bedealing with the socialandeconomic aftermath on a community level. . .” .=--%The land claims issues, which are of such great importance to a number of interveninggroups, can-

ture infiltration, there is a lot of surface water in the’ north. Much of the land is dotted with small lakes created by poor runoff. There are often floods at the time of spring break&p. These cause huge ice jams in the rivers, scouring river beds:A sunken pipeline could be ripped to pieces by this spring ice. Another major concern about the pipeline at the river crossings is river bank stability. Some rivers have constantly shifting, eroding channelsautting a pipeline in a precarious position.

Northern ecosystems In the north there is less variety of species; populations are smaller and thus more easily wiped out. The fight for survival is a real battle. Short summers, long winters, extremes of temperature, unpredictable food sources and low precipitation make the north a very harsh environment. Special species adaptations such as migration or hybemation are required for survival. An animal unique to the north, upon which many native people depend for meat and hides, is the barren ground caribou. Each year caribou have spectacular. migrations from their wintering grounds to the spring calving grounds, and then back to their summer ranges. Pipeline construction could disrupt the migrations or calving, and this in turn would affect the native people. The caribou herd over which -most concern isexpressed is the Porcupine herd of the-Yukon and Alaska, which numbers about 115,000. The settlement of OldCrow depends heavily on the Porcupine herd for its livelihood. Large amounts of gravel would be required forconstruction of the pipeline. The major source of gravel is from the river beds. Disturbance of riverbeds causes excessive siltation which can clog the gills of fish, suffocating them. Fish- also use the gravel in river beds for spawning, and its removal could be disastrous for some species. Water pollution from fuel oils, domestic wastes and pesticides would be injurious to aquatic life. Very little is known about northern ecology, it has only been in the past few years that any research has been done. Scientists who spoke at the overview hearings continually emphasized the lack of information available, and the need for more research.

If the native people are to be active participants in the development of the north, a settlement of the land claims issue is imperative. Though not-in terms of reference of the Berger Commission, the land _. claims are being stressed by the natives as their chief of the Northwest Territories, in his opening remarks weapon. Aboriginal rights to the land have always at the overview hearings, “to bring j,ustice to eTery ~ been recognized.

schools, thus increasing family break-up and alienation. When the children return after exposure to a larger town, and white culture, they become dissatisfied with their small community. These feelings climax when the children leave home to look for a better way of life. Improved transportation and communications networks will probably coincide with the pipeline. But do the natives want this? Southern technology is already being forced onto the natives at an alarming rate. Can their society withstand these pressures? The poor attempt to assimilate the northern natives into a white way of life has ‘left the native peoples-with-a lack of identity as a culture, a loss of pride, and a loss of control over their destiny. Will not a pipeline only increase their woes? Government officials and scientists ignore the vast store of knowledge that the Native people have, because that knowledge is intuitive and based on-years of experience, rather than on scientific quantitative data. -Scientists are happy when they can talk. in terms of numbers, but one cannot quantify a peoples’ culture.- How does one measure happiness, well being, pride and self esteem? . The exact magnitude of social and economic impacts is impossible to predict. As one expert pointed out, “the most important effects of the pipeline will be invisible. ’ ’ Seven Man-Environment students, part of a group that had been studying the pipeline proposal all year, made a trip to Yellowknife for the week of the overview hearings. The atmosphere in Yellowknife was full of excitement; Yellowknife has probably never seen so many lawyers before! One of the questions in everybody’s mind was: Will the government really take the Inquiry seriously, or does it already have its mind made up? Many people expressed scepticism and distrust. This feeling was amplified when, on the second day of the hearings, Mitchell Sharp announced that the government would, if necessary, make a #.decisjon about the pipeline before the hearings are completed. . Do the hearings have validity? It is inevitable that the pipeline will be built. There is a market for the gas; the Mackenzie Highway (which will be very helpful to pipeline construction) is nearing completion; vast sums of money have already been invested by Arctic Gas in research and promotion. . . The amount of damage resulting from pipeline construction can be lessened by building it carefully. Berger can make recommendations about how to build it, but it is beyond his power to enforce any regulations. Will the government enforce them? Yet the hearings do have value. The environmental and socio-economic studies which followed the proposal have yielded much information about the North. Previously very little was known about such subjects as perma-frost, caribou migrations, or Native land use. The Berger Commission Hearings are making all of this information public; and-hopefully the public will-develop an awareness ofthese issues. Most important, the Inquiry is a place for the Native People to have their say. They are demanding a settlement of their land claims before any pipeline construction begins. Berger cannot make a ruling on the land claims, but he intends to listen to the Native people, and to make their land claims a major consideration in his recommendations. In addition to the formal hearings, Berger will de holding the informal hearings in the MacKenzie River Communities. These hearings will, give local residents a chance to express their opinions. The Inquiry is-the best chance the Native people have to make their concerns known and they intend to take advantage of that chance. Theyknow what they have in their homeland in the North, and they want to keep it. After having spent a week in Yellowknife at the Hearings, it was clear to us that the Land Claims issue is a unifying force among the Native people. They are rekindling their pride in their culture; they want to preserve their languages and traditions. They want to determine their own future, the way they want it to be, not the way we want them to make it. The Native People have expressed that they are very glad to have this opportunity to talk about their concerns. They take the Hearings seriously, and want them to maintain validity. There have been whisperings that if the Land Claims .are not settled before pipeline construction begins, the pipeline might be sabotaged. The government would be wise not to take those rumours too lightly . . . .

_ Swim team:

Lack of funds .~ *rde participation Despite the absence of three of its eligible male swimmers, the University of Waterloo swim team, coached by Mr. Brian Cartlidge, managed a respectable third place finish at this years’ C.I.A.U. swi&-ning championships, held at Thunder Bay’s Lakehead Univer= sity. The reason for the swimmers’ absence was, not surprisingly, a lack of funds. For a swimmer to be qualified to compete in the C.I.A.U. championships, he must be one of the top one hundred collegiate swimmers in the nation as ranked by the national time standards of the C.I.A.U. This ensures that the best athletes from across Canada compete in the championships. This year,- -the Ontario Universities qualified over fifty swimmers by this C.I.A.U. ranking. At meetings held in December of last year, though, the Athletic Directot-s of the Ontario Universities voted to cover the expenses of only the first twenty-five eligible swimmers from this conference. The coaches of the Universities’ swim teams, in an effort to get more of the eligible swimmers to th’e championship meet, found financial assistance in the form of a one thdusand dollar grant donated by - the Canadian Amateur Swimming Association. The coaches then conferred with their individual Athletic Directors about the possibility of using the grant to help defray ,travel costs to Thunder Bay. At meetings held by mail and telephone, one week before our own conference championships, the Athletic Directors voted on a motion allowing this grant to be used to fund an additional ten swimmers to the Nationals. At the same time another motion proposing that a further ten b-6 funded by each individual swimmer’s school, at the discretion of its Athletic Directa?, was passed. Waterloo’s Athletic Director, Mr. Carl Totzke, did not seem to think that these twenty additional swimmers should be allowed to. compete. When asked how he voted, Mr. Totzke said he went against both motions because he felt that the telephone meetings were unconstitutional, if illegal. “When they came to me.. .I said no. It’s not a league decision: I disagree with the way it was handled. First of all, I don’t think that more tha‘n twenty-five swimmers .should go from Ontario. Second of all, I don’t think that you can pass a motion like that,. by phone, one on one, the night before a meet. And thirdly, we don’t have the funds.” It seems that Mr. TotEke is more concerned with the tidyness of the minutes of business than with the effects his decisions have on interc collegiate swimming.

Seagram CUP

Although he,may object to allowing more than twenty-five swimmers from Ontario to compete in the Nationals, the C.I.A.U., by its national ranking, certainly doesn’t see anything wrong with that prospect. ,A total of forty-five C.I.A.U. ranked swimmers seems only to be an appropriate representation from Canada’s largest and most competitive conference. Moreover, it is mystifying how Mr. Totzke can object to the cQnference’s use of the C.A.S.A. grant as a lo& of funds from the University. The University had three swimmers in the second group of ten, hence three swimmers to be funded by UW, at a total cost of two hundred dollars; that is, approximately one one-hundredth of fl one per cent of the total Intercol1nrr;rItn

hl1TlcTdt

Elaborating on the lack of funds ’ available for swimming, Mr. Totzke said, “We did not budget for those extra swimmers so then we’d have to take it from some-. place else . . .We far overspent our budget. Almost every travel budget ’ was overspent (partly) because of what happened to inflation.” If there was no money available to cover the expenses of these three swimmers then it seems only fair to let them fund themselves to the Nationals. Unfortunately this is not the way Mr. Totike sees it. “I don’t agre.e that players ought While everyone was exuberantly to fund themselves to go to the nzcheering our men’s basketball team.. tional championship.

JOB

Although the phantom did not &me back to haunt Last Chance, the reality of the Raiders did. The “upstart Raiders”, as quoted in _ previous Chevron issues, completed their first undefeated season in three years, with a record of 10 and 0. These victories included tpree post-season wins; 8-l to V2 West E., 7-3 to a much improved Co-op Math team, and the final, ironically, 3-2 to Last Chance. *The championship game was a rough affair with the accent being placed on defensive play including some superb goaltending on both sides. The Raiders opened the scoring with about five minutes remaining in the first half, but Last Chance evened the count at one apiece before the intermission. The second half was superlatively played, demonstrating floor hockey at its best. Last Chance jumped ahead on a converted goal mouth pass and the future looked _ bleak for the “green and gold”. The deficit did not discourage the persistent Raiders and they rallied to tie the score five minutes later. With the next goal being all impor\ tant towards victory, strategy dominated the offensive plav, climaxed with the eventual iam& winner by Raiders’ defenceman, Wayne Kennedy. The closing minutes were characterized by a rash of penalties, goal-mouth scrambles and break-aways that tested the coolness and capability of the goaltending for both teams. The final whistle sounded and the din of the battle ended. Screams of joy and exuberance filled the air while Capta%E?mie MacMillan accepted the prestigous Seagram Cup, emblematic of the Men’s Intramural Floor Hockey Champions.

Every day, Canadians are treated to radio advertisements sponsored by the federal government telling us that women can reach as far as they want in our society if only they’re given the chance. These stirring messages from the Secretary of State’s office are a government gesture in recognition of International Women’s Year. More important than gestures, though, is the record of governments as employers of women. The federal and provincial governments are by far the largest employers of women in Ontario. Since the publication of the report of the Royal Commission on the Status of Women in 1971 both levels of government have claimed that they are setting an example to the rest of the country as enlightened employers of women. They’ve done some showy things. Ontario’s top public servant, the Lieutenant Governor, is a woman, the first vice-regal appointment of a female in the British Commonwealth. And Ottawa has a woman,’ Beryl Plumptre, as’ head of the Food Prices Re/ view Board. The federal government boasts that it has gone far to implement the recommendations of the Royal Commission with,respect to-its own employess. Their record includes: putting Marc Lalonde in charge of women’s programs in the federal service, appointing a Status of Women Coordinator to the Privy Council, establishing a Public Service Equal Opportunities for Women Office and setting up an inter-departmental committee on women in the public service that meets four times a year.

.Womeds by Joan

Shields

Canadian women are again getting shoddy, treatment by a federal government that has an excellent history of selling women short. The latest and greatest snow ‘jobis the government’s plans for International Women’s Year (IWY). The United Nations declared 1975 to be International Women’s Year, hoping that this gesture would satisfy the increasing number of women who were objecting to the exploitation and discrimination they faced. in virtually all, sectors of life, employment, education, sexual double standards, childcare, the list is endless. ‘All member countries in the UN were obliged to set aside money for projects that would attempt to tackle women’s oppression. On the surface, it seems like an admirable idea, but looking a little deeper, International Women’s Year is ridden with flaws. The federal government established two departments, the IWY Secrelariat of the Privy Council and the Women’s Programme in the Secretary of State’s Department, to take charge of the programme. - The people appointed to these departments are mostly well-paid civil servants who have be-en shielded to a large degree from the hardships that working women face, and aren’t really prepared to deal with . these problems.

The older Program _-. Career Assignment ., . . . to help middle management personnel . . . . . .having high potential . . . . . .develop and achieve potential” was. revamped with the recommendations that 10 per cent of the candidates for CAP be women. These implemented Royal Commission recommendations are all under the jurisdiction of the Public Service Commission. While the absence. of women in senior posts is undeniable, these programmes touch the lives of only a tiny fraction of the women in the public.service-those who are already near the top. ‘. Whatever the rhetoric concerning International Women’s Year may be, the reality of the second class status of women in the public service stands out in cold, hard -.. facts. In 1971, sixty-five percent of female federal public servants were found in the Administrative Support category (clerks, typists, stenos); by 1974 the percentage of women in these categories was up to seventy percent. From 1971 to 1974 the average woman’s income in the federal public service rose one thousand dollars per year, while that of the average man rose fifteen hundred dollars a year. In 1974, women in the federal public service averaged incomes in the range of $6000 to $6500, while men average $9000 to $9500. Only, eight percent of all female federal public employees make over eight thousand dollars a year. Despite this, entrance to CAP is restricted to.employees earning between $15,000 and $24,000. Even middle management areas do not employ many women in the federal public service. Only 13.5 percent of women are found at this level and these are mostly in the lower paying positions in this field. Sylvia Lauzon, acting director of Equal Opportunities -*For Women stressed, “ . ...*. there isn’t a large middle management ‘resource pool’ . . . . . .from which to draw female candidates for senior executive positions.” (CAP)-“.

Provincial

,The Ontario Women’s Bureau was es.> tablished in 1963, primarily for the purpose ’ of researching w.orking conditions of women in the labour force. In 1972, a committee to study the report of the Royal Commission on the Status of Women was r set up by the Ontario government. The results of this study, released in 1973 by the Secretariat for Social Development, revel the extent of discrimination toward female civil servants in Ontario. On salary the report states: “In certain , female-dominated professions and occupations, the work performed appears to be undervalued in relation to male dominated professions and occupations requiring similar degrees of skill and training.” It further states that in June 1970 only 8.8 percent of the public service employees earning over $10,000 a year were women. For those earning over $25,000 per year the percentage of women was only 4.9 percent. These figures,, it was added, have not changed significantly since that time. Lack of upward mobility for women is also demonstrated. From 1963 to 1973,7 of the 49 civil servants chosen for the administrative. trainee programme were women. In management training courses

Record

This record of showy programmes with few results is also true of the efforts of the provincial government to improve the position of women in its employ.

the main participation of women has been at the lowest levels with 3 11 women out of a total of 1,475 in the supervisors’ course from 1964 to 1972, and 36 women out of 698 in the middle management course for the same period. Recommendations to change this situation were made and early in 1974 the Women Crown Employees Office was established under the Ministry of Labour to deal specifically with the problems of .women civil servants and to make relevant recommendations to the legislature. Although many of the suggestions of the Women Crown Employees Office have been good, they have yet to be implemented. Late in 1974 the Ontario government launched its “Affirmative’ Action” programme which is supposed to make equal opportunity for women a realistic possibility., Although’ many enthusiastic noises were made’ by senior government officials about what should be done for women in the civil service the only concrete directive was to establish a women’s coordinator in each department of the civil service, and no funds were allocated to make the possibility any more “realistic”.

Year--: a farce, The planning for IWY started off on the wrong note. Rather than consulting those who are most aware of women’s needs, like a woman in a lineup at the welfare office or’ a young mother who doesn’t have enough money to feed herself or her children properly, the IWY officials drew up programmes and budget allocations without these considerations. Of a five million dollar budget, $750,000 was allocated to a male-staffed advertising company that came up with the “Why Not?” campaign. The main thrust of this campaign was to’take out full page ads in newspapers like the. Star and ask mindboggling questions like “Why can’t -your daughter grow up to be a doctor o,r a lawyer?’ ’ Rather than assume that women rarely go into these fields because their parents didn’t stop to ask “Why Not?” a more useful tactic would be to ban Su_sie Homemaker advertisements on television and offer children’s books that depict little girls as something else than squeamish princesses or fragile creatures that hold tea parties. For an incentive to adult women, IWY could put its money towards scholarship funds in law and medicine faculties. A half-million dollars was initially intended for a series of four conferences to be held in various Canadian cities to discuss the needs and wants of women. The IWY \

officials are still bent on “discovering women’s problems” %.forgetting the Royal Commission on the Status of Women in 1968 that tabled more than 160 recommendations for immediate action, only half of which have been dealt with. The idea of further discussion is a joke. The needs are clear: subsidized day care, abortion on request, maternity benefits, open access to all jobs-what’s needed now is action both in the law books and in practice. - A fifth national conference shows the worst gall on the part of the IWY officials. They called on big business executives and high-ranking civil servants to review their treatment of women in the office, and suggested, the promotion of token women to the managing boards of big corporations and top government ranks. When women’s groups across the country protqsted this waste of expense and energy, saying that the programme would be of no benefit whatsoever to the majority of working women in Canada, IWY directors modified their plans somewhat to allow for smaller “information meetings.” The intention remains the same, though. The discrimination most women face is not earning $20,000 rather than $60,000, unfbrtunately . In another major programme, a million _dollars is proposed to go directly to d

. women’s groups in the form of grants to be spent over two years. For Quebec, $75,000 was allocated from March 1974 to March 1975, and the same amount is to be allocated from April 1975 to March 1976. When divided up among all the women’s centres, the grants will be so small that no group ~21 * receive enough money to plan any effective projects for women. In a national caucus of feminist groups in Thunder Bay this spring, International Women’s Year is expected to come under ire and the groups might decide to offi‘cially boycott the IWY grants in protest of the govemmentls half-hearted recognition of women’s centres. Some people are even saying that International Women’s Year might be used against the women’s m~ovements in future years. Feminists disillusioned w.ith the government predict that in 1976 MP’s will slough off reforms by saying women are now equal: “All that sexist business was solved last year, you realize.” The government’s campaign is too glossy and superficial to really attack sexism at its roots. IWY is pushing ineffective. and unnecessary programmes in order to ~ pacify women who are growing discontented with their position in society. The government has shown that it doesn’t take women seriously: it’s up to women to take action now.

Resp-onse to Marty Although I‘ can appreciate Mr. Mathewson’ S sentiments (in his articles in last week’s Chevron on the attitudes of Engineers), I feel there are ‘several points worth considering, which seemed to be overlooked. There is a need not only to integrate the engineering society but all the within the university other “societies” community. On a social basis, though Eng Sot may have tended to magnify the segregation, that is no excuse for personal integration to be stifled. If at this pointin time you are expecting to be treated as an adult, then you should have the gumption to act like one, present yourself as a person, and expect to be accepted like one. I can agree, though, that a class image is often difficult to dispel. From an academic standpoint, I cannot agree that the “same approaches but .different language” are being used. By their very nature, members of&a different faculty have a biased outlook to a certain. course. It is your responsibility to take from that what you can, and mesh that knowledge and discipline with your own. The “illusion of is a self-created dream. learning” Your mind is open to learn as much as your determination permits; if you feel so secure in your acquired education, then it is sad that your mind has become so closed. This is also reflected in the electives, selected by engineers. Though I can ap; preciate the lack of desire to add three or four hours on top of the thirty-five to forty hours of work already encountered by engineers in a week of class time, taking a “bird” course as opposed to one which may give insight into the engineer’s awareness of himself/herself and the role he/she is to play in society, is not a valid excuse. To have the concern shown by Mr. Mathewson is commendable; however to expect a group of preconditioned academics define “the potential social and political role of an engineering graduate” is defeating the purpose. Ideally, each student must define his/her part on an individual basis. The class conscience which inevitably results, will do more to further an amenable solution to the “labelled” at’ titudes and identities of engineering students, and the student population as a whole. It merely requires some critical thought and concerted action. . . . . .Anyone game? Lois

More Marty;.. I believe Nathanson’s ticle require that his article

tion and in some cases, a total lack of knowledge. His viewpoint does contain valid points of note. His initial discussion of “traditional stereotypes is good and merits student attention. However, the article quickly degenerates when the comments of one student or undefined numbers such as ’ “many” are used to determine the feelings of a faculty numbering in excess of 2,900. I must strongly ‘object to his statement that the Engineering Society imp&es an i age of any kind on their own students. ?I?he Engineering Society is made up of students, elected by the students themselves and acts in accordance with that electorate’s opinions. To refer to Engineering Week as a “carnival” and cite the Thigh-High pub as just cause or ‘>need to integrate the engineering society with the rest of the.university” is ludicrous at best. Engineering Week included tours of all departments which were open to any in-. terested parties; educational films are run, throughout the terms and guest ‘lecturers are also sponsored by Engineering Society. Oh yes, the Engineering Society was responsible for the Ice Races and a Pub Rally and, heaven forbid, a Boat Racing Pub -tsk.; tsk. If you ignore all the educational aspects of the Engineering Society, you are, of necessity, limiting yourself to the entertainment side-which, by its very nature, generates more publicity than do educational endeavours. Interesting to find that, according to Marty, the increase in the number of women in engineering, the very trend the Engineering Society has been promoting along with faculty, is representing “a new ‘form of opposition to the ludicrous ‘behaviour of Eng Sot and its sense of priorities .” Education ranks highly among the priorities of Engineering Society. This encompasses course and class clubs,. as well as representation to the Association of Professional Engineers of Ontario, to the Ontario Association of Undergraduate Engineering Societies and to the Canadian Congress of Engineering Students. Through this representation, we have been lobbying for a more integrated course system, a fact of which Marty Nathanson appears unaware. Furthermore, the themes of our conferences tend more and more towards political and environmental iss’ues.

An engineering student Randy Jones

Nlarty’s right on With reference to the article printed in “the Campus Forum” of the Chevron last week entitled “Engineers: their conditioned attitudes”, I can only say -Marty, you’re right on, but dead wrong. To explain this paradox, let me state that I agree with the statement of the problem that plagues the engineering student, and yet 1,disagree with the placement of the origin of the problem. Being a student of Systems Design Engineering at UW, I can agree with Marty’s statement that the students of this programme tend to reject the engineering stereotype more so than those of other disciplines,-but this rejection isby no means a universal one. This problem, stems directly from the fact that; -as engineers, we all go through the. Dept. of Co-ordination in an effort to find jobs related to our field. Thus, in the process, we are conditioned by- the Coordination Dept. to cater to the artificiality and irresponsibility of business; to accept, rather than attempt to change, the hidden responsibility of the engineer to society. I say “hidden” <when “buried” would possibly be a more accurate term. For exampie,- in the automobile industry, lately the

complished, rather t/ban going a little bit out of his way and helping to get the job done! The faculty is in a state of constant self\ examination’ and expansion. Engineering students across the; country are consistently focusing upon their own political and academic evaluation. Engineering students are aware of world problems. Perhaps, at tim’es, they are too wrapped up in technology, but we’re really not all that bad. The Engineering Society attempts to clear the way in educational and social fields, and if we-err in our work, we are truly sorry-we can only attack problem areas whichadmit viable solutions. The Engineering Society produces a Handbook every year. I would suggest that any other lonely theoreticians pick up a copy and read it-for therein lies a wealth of information.

push is on well-engineered cars rather than , bn large, wasteful, typically North American vehicles of yesteryear. It took some time but business management finally decided to let the engineers do their job, and then and only then, does society receive the true benefits of its ‘science’ students. The situation with Co-ordination will not ratify itself. It requires the effort of the students to produce positive results. Marty also attacked-in a delicate way-the faculty. This attack is not justified. The plethora of courses with those messy titles is necessary in order to (after four years) provide the student with a reasonably firm background in the science of engineering. With these tools (and they are as useful as the-student makes them), he can then,/ if he wishes, attend to the social and economic problems of the day. Students are not held,to their faculty in 2nd., 3rd., and 4th. years and if they ,wish to expand their sctipe in areas of social and economic importance then they are free to do so. That leaves us with the problem-and the student. Personally through exposure to the kind of person completing Grade 13 presently, I can only say I feel it’s going to get w&-se. Each year, the students that roll into this University (on the average) are less educated (free schooling), less knowledgeableabout what they intend to;do with themselves (don’t want to work) and more apathetic towards any and all goings-on around them. It is these students that are the problem. If they as a group attack a course then it can and will be modified. This is the case in my engineering discipline’and, although: due process is slower because of larger enrolment in the other disciplines, it is still the case. So where does that leave us?-with a lot of lazy students who “don’t give a shit”. Who or what body is present to attempt to remedy this problem? Eng. Sot. Thus, it is here that I must again disagree with. your views, Marty, on Eng Sot’s activities. Eng % Sot does not push the stereotyped image upon engineering students, in fact recently,. in a survey taken to see what first year students thought Eng Sot was or did many had little or no idea. This would tend to discount the theory that Eng Sot prescribes any sort of image for them. And again, “Engineering Week” involved a few more activities than just a thi-hi pub. The problem with the Engineer- ’ ing social functions is that they are usually ’ L a success and thus are the only portion of Eng Sot’s activities receiving public notice. Education in Eng Sot is sufficiently -important to require its own director. ’ So, in summation it must be made clear that the problem. as outlined by Marty Nathanson in the Chevron last week, and many other people does not lie with the faculty or the activities of Eng Sot. It lies \_ with the student. Hopefully in the advancing presidential regime of John Corman this problem will be given the attention itdeserves. -

Faulkner again declined comment on another aspect of this tenet of his theory of social justice -that increased tuition fees mean> the government can pass on a greater proportion of the cost of education to the individual student, thereby reducing the need for government operating assistance to institutions.

by Paul Hoch

In the past few years newspapers have been full of story after story of revolutionary-students infringing the so-called rights of free speech of establishment politicians and%.generals. Ironically the publishers and commentators screaming loudest about these heinous crimes arc precisely the people who ensure these abused politicians have roughly a thousand times as much access to the official organs of public opinion as the people abusing them! In practice,-freedom of speech and the press would seem to be somewhat stacked. Of course, anyone is ‘free’ to start a’ newspaper-just as anyone is ‘free’ to start a chain of luxury hotels. All you need is a few millions and the sort of opinions that won’t antagonize any large block of _distributors or advertisers. Similarly, anyone is ‘free’ to write a book, but how much impact does one book or one student rally have compared to the daily dose of millions of copies of the establishment press, radio and TV? , The call for freedom of the press originated as partof the apparatus by which the developing industrial bourgeoisie of the 18th and 19th centuries (which controlled the press) wrested control of society from the landed aristocracy. * This freedom never was intended very much for the use-or ‘abuse’-of common men. In-fact, in most cases where radical ptiblicatiotis appeared, they were quite quickly dealt with by bribery and intimida- tion of editors, stamp taxes, or even smashings of presses -and jailings . It is only comparatively recently that the centralization and costliness of the press, and of corporate activity generally, has . reached the point where radicals could be more or less excluded fi-om .the mainstream publicity organs by the high costs of operating them alone. So now there is much less need for direct suppression. Nevertheless in otir own time, we have seen the publisher of the American National Guardian deported, the editors of the British magazine Oz jailed, the International Times, fined, the’ Canadian newspapers Georgia Straight and Prairie Fu-e stripped of funds, as well as a whole sel;ies ‘~ of raids on the underground press generally. __ Most of these facts remain more or less unknown to readers of the establishment press, most of whom have been taught that freedom of the press gives them the power to start a big city newspaper. _Of course, in most countries of the neocolonial world, the development and centralization of a native media system has not the. point where press reached monopoly may be automatically achieved by the sheer costliness of run”ning a competitive paper.

policy-making decisions-including over the future sale of the paper-as a 40% share in the profits. ’

t Even more important, since so much of the wealth there is being shipped off to the metropolitan capitalist countries, it is not possible to use imperial-derived profits to buy off workers’ organizations. So these proletarian organizations-and the radical elements of the press that would support their interests against the international corporate plunderers-have often to be physically smashed by fascist repression. Fascism in the neo-colonial countries is the prop which permits monopoly capitalism to wear the cloak of welfare liber&sm at home. Our so-called freedom of ‘the press is intimately d_ependent on their un-freedom of the press. For better or woi-se, though, as the neocoloniaLpeoples in places like Cuba, Vietnam and Chile begin to claim the wealth of their cou+-ies for themselves and begin to interrupt the flow of wealth to the monopoly capitalist metropolises, the guise of liberalism here will get thinner and thinner and authoritarian repression will begin to rain down heavier and heavier at home. As in Vietnam, only on a far larger scale, we shall then have; the choice of fighting against the people 8f the world for the interests of our bosses, or fighting together with the peoples of the world to smash bosses everywhere. In the last analysis, it will be socialism or fascism. Much the same is true in the newspaper industry. In the days of the 1968 Democratic Convention in Chicago, during which reporters and photographers were repeatedly clubbed by police along with demonstrators, seridus friction boiled up between working journalists and their publishers. As one reporter put it: “Our own editors told us *hat we didri’t see what we re’ally saw under those blue helmets.” He added that the publishers had made them take it “like slaves”. But even slaves can rebel. Shortly thereafter, an Association of Working Press was formed in Chicago, without any connections to that dld CIA favourite the American Newspaper Guild, and the monthly Chicago Journalism Review began appearing regularly. Month in and month out, the review carried stories (under some of the best-known bylines in the city) about the sexist and racist treatment of news, suppression of stories, censqrship and authoritarian treatment of working journalists, -kid-gloves treatment of big business and the cosy relationship between the newspapers and Mayor Daley’s city machine. Similar reviews have sprung up in many other Americ& cities. “It is time,” wrote newsman Nathan Blumberg in the Montana Journalism Review in 1969, “for recognition of the stark,

naked but almost never spoken truth that hundreds-perhaps thousands-of reporter’s and even copy editors who draw their pay from the orthodox press are disgusted with the policies of their employers.” Meanwhile, associations of black journalists have been started in Chicago, New York, San -Francisco, Washington and a score of other American cities in or-0 sensitize newspaper publishers to the role of their papers in fostering racism and excluding black journalists from jobs. In 1970, when black New York Times repbrter Earl Caldwell was ordered to bring all his tapes a,nd interviews with Black Panther- leaders before a federal grand jury, 70 of Am&a’s leading black journalists ran a full page advertisement throughout the black press declaring that: The role of every black news man and woman has been put into question-Are we government agents. 3 Will we reveal confidential sources if supoenaed? Can our employers turn over our files, notes, or tapes if we object? We do’not intend to be used as spies, informers,br undercover agents by anybody-period! We will protect our confidential sources, using every means at our atdisposal . . .We are black journalists tempting to’interpret, with as great understanding -and tru!h as is possible, the nation’s social re+olutions.

The October 15, 1969 Vietnam Moratorium initiated a new thrust of American journalists toward taking antiestablishment positions on vi&l political issues and seeking to have those positions implemented in their papers. More than 30Q New York Times employees demanded (and were refused) the use of an auditorium for an anti-war meet.ing. Outside the Times building another 150 Times staff held a silent vigil and marched to a rally of writers and reporters nearby. Petitions demanding observance of Moratorium Day were also turned in by staff members at Time, Newsweek and the Wall Street. Journal. At -Newsweek, more than two hundred employees boycotted work that day. An,article in the Wall Street Journal coyly noted that journalists at various publications had insisted on discussions with management on “the role of employees in editorial policy”. -The same process was going forward in Europe, with journalists and printworkers participating in a series of strikes and collective action to win greater cogtrol of editorial policy-making. Major disputes flared up at Der Stem (often called West Germany’s version of Life) and at France’s Le Figaro, L’Express and Le Monde. On paper at least, Le Monde’s staff has achieved a substantial degreq of contrql oyeF editorial and

a veto well as

There h&s also been a tremendous amount of organizing activity by women writers and researchers bent on opening up more editorial and managerial positions for womm. There was a women’s liberationist inspired sit-in at McCall’s magazine, confrontations at the New York Post and Newsweek, and even at many of the glossier orga’ns of the underground press (with The Rat, for examtile, being taken over entirely by wqmen). The cultural-political revolution in the news media has even spread to the American Newspaper Guild, which for the first time in many years had begun to deal with questions that go beyond salaries and fringe benefits for its members, such as the contents of newspapers, control over editorial policy-making and the rights of journalists in their off-the-job activities. The struggle for staff control over editorial policy-making reached &most intense points during the spring 1968 upheaval in France and the Autumg-1970 crisis in Quebec. In April, 1970, the London branch of the British National Union of Journalists, representing the 15,000 people who actually write Britain’s national papers, voted not to report the South Africa v. Britain cricket matches. Immediately, the Top Brass of the London Times, Daily Mirror aand other official organs started screaming about this intolerable infringement of freedom of the press. They meant of course THEIR freedom of the press, the freedom of a handful of publishers and senior editors to dictate the contents of our newspapers. An NUJ official had to point out to them ihat the people who write and produce the papers are the press, and that to talk of these people violating press freedom is simply nonsense. Two months later the whole issue was once again back in the headlines-certain London printworkers had refused to prigt newspaper stories attacking them and their union and giving lopsided accounts of the developments that ultimately lead to a national strike. Once again the handful of men who think of freedom of the press as their personal property claimed that the thousands of peopl’e who put oui papers were violating press freedom. 1 In fact, the printworkers, journalists and the public today generally are only beginning to take press freedom back into their own hands and out of the hands of that> small oligarchy of millionaires who have treated the newspapers as more or less their private baronial estates. It will be a difficult struggle, -but Fhe road ahead is clear.
