Meet with. Davis

Universities After Ontario premier William Davis told the province’s universities in a confidential meeting last December that the policy of flnancial cutbacks is permanent, the ’ universities are now preparing an official response that says they will carry out the policy for the government. This general agreement between the prov,incial government and the governing boards and presidents of the universities, which comes at a time ._ when campus communities are beginning to organ% to oppose the cutbacks policy was revealed in a . series of documents leaked last week. The documents are official records of the Council of Ontario Universities (COU), which is the official representative body of the governing boards and administration presidents of the provincially funded universities.

One document shows that Davis, minister of colleges and universities James Auld, and the chairmen of six university governing boards met confidentially Dec. 17, just one month after the financial cutbacks for next year were announced. According to the COU summary of the meeting, the purpose was to provide the universities with an opportunity to ask the premier “about the long term intentions of the Government” in financing the university system “which Mr. Davis had himself played such a large part in building. ” In general, Davis and Auld told the chairmen, who were representing the universities, that the financial squeeze would continue and that the universities must respond

This special committee was set up in the new year after the meeting with Davis, Auld and the board chairmen to: “assess the goals, policies, and plans of the Ontario university system for the remainder of the 1970’s and the 1980’s in the light of competing government priorities, possible financial prospects antihe anticipated numbers of qualified students. ’ ’ On Jan. 19, according to the COU summary of the subcommittee meeting, ministry representa-tives Parr and Wilson told the subcommittee universities should not expect to see provincial grants increase-beyond the general rate of increase in government revenues. Parr said it would be “a struggle to hold the present share” of tax revenue going’ to suppqrt universities. He said it would be “fair to plan to hold the present share but

that share might decline. It certainly will not go up.” Ministry representative Wilson said the government could not provide the universities with a precise figure as to what levels of enrolment it would support, but could only say “the universities should do the best they can with available funding, but the message (as to en-! rolment limits) would come through indirect means.’ ’ He cited the capital funding freeze and cutbacks in graduate student support as examples of indirect signals. “The political reality is that the universities cannot expect more explicit signals than this,” said Parr, according to the summary. As for the concept of.“universal accessibility” as a goal for Ontario’s post secondary system: continued on page 5

Renison changes its tiind The story must be traced back to March 19 when C-AUT stopped negotiating because the college would not accept their proposal for binding arbitration. The proposal consisted of six questions, one of which CAUT was willing to have deleted. That question was withdrawn bythe board. It was question five and it read: “shouldthe appointment of prof Forest continue at Renison College?” But the same night the board also changed question six as offered by CAUT. It was “If it is not considered appropriate for professor Forest’s appointment to continue at Renison College, then the arbitrator may award professor Forest,

as a severence allowance, an amount not to exceed one year’s salary, ’ ’ and was changed to “if adequate cause does not exist, then the arbitrator may award professor Forest, as a severence allowance, an amount not to exceed one year’s salary. ’ ’ CAUT was prepared to accept the deletion of question five butwith question six altered it was deemed that once again the board was trying to preclude an arbitrator deciding on whether Forest should be reinstated. This issue has been the main bone of contention throughout negotiations according to a CAUT report. continued on page 5

VANCOUVER (CUP)-A Simon Fraser University Senate committee will revise its recommendations on the university’s grading system because of massive student protest, committee chairman Ian Mugridge said March 20. About 500 students packed an open meeting of the Senate Committee on Undergraduate Studies the previous Tuesday, demanding the committee drop its plans to set strict grading guidelines. The protestors showed the committee results of a referendum in which 3,000 students voted 97 percent against the committee’s plans. The voter turnout, 40 percent, was the largest in the university’s history. At the meeting, Mugridge, a history professor, refused student demands to formally overturn the committee’s earlier decision on grading rule changes. He also rejected demands for student parity on the Senate committee. Four of the 13 committee members are students. But Mugridge said he is certain the committee will reconsider its plans in light of the’protest and said

the decision to send recommendations to the university Senate will be delayed beyond the AprilSenate meeting. Mugridge said the committee decided on the proposals at its March 4 meeting after 18 months of research and debate. He said professors have an “unexplainable” tendency to raise student grades under the current system, which includes a scale from A to F with “plus” and “minus” signs assigned by individual professors. At the March 11 committee meeting 200 students stormed the committee room and forced Mugridge to adjourn the me.eting. He called for an open meeting for Tuesday and said a decision-on the grading issue would be postponed until April 8. StudentsSaid they protested the delay because they will be writing exams and unable to present their case when the committee meets. Mugridge said that because of the protest, “It’s clear to me no decision will be made at that time” (April 8) and said the committee’s final decision will. be delayed:into the summer semester I. or. ia@. .‘\.

Engineer’s paper di$& / REGINA (CUP)-More than 300 students attended last week’s Student Union General Meeting concerning the right of the union to censor the Engineering Society’s publication, the Krapwrapper. The engineers argue the union did not have the right to censor the publication, while the union claims sexist and racist connotations of the newspaper are contrary to the

The doctors preparing the study say it requires no more than one or two smokers to contaminate a vehicle or building. Yet, the warning is qualified with the observation that nicotme is excreted as fast as it is taken in by nonsmokers.

o fee hikes for 1976-77 The minister of colleges and universities James Auld says he’s “not studying the possibility” of upping tuition fees for 1976-77 despite pressures from the Council of Ontario Universities (COU). However, he’s against eliminating them as recommended by the Ontario Federation of Students. Auld, at a UW news conference last Thursday, affirmed that: “I’m opposed to abolishing tuition fees for I’m convinced that holding the line I \ will be difficult. ” Citing the 1972 Committee on Post-Secondary Education in Ontario report’s suggestion that fees be equal to costs, a measure backed by COU, Auld says he’s “not likely to take that route for a while.” At present, each student onaverage is subsidized to the tune of $2,000. . (Auld thus reversed a statement made Mar. 26, to the Association of Student Awards Officers of Ontario in London, when he felt it “quite appropriate that students who elect to use the post-secondary system should bear the greater share of the system’s costs than the general taxpayer. “It seems to me more likely that we are going to be thinking about . increasing fees rather than abolishing them in 1976-77,” he added. Auld assured the awards officers that accessibility for qualified applicants will still be a ~major position of the ‘government and it will assist students with finances. “There’s an obvious political reason for my concern about student assistance. After all, more than 100,000 students and their families are directly affected by the decisions we make”). When asked to comment on a statement made by his deputy minister ’ Gordon Parr regarding possible layoffs for university professors, Auld remarked that the problem of,overstaffmg will “most likely be solved by attrition.” (Parr, in an interview to the Globe and Mail, said that universities, which until now have tried to economize without reducing their staffs of professors, may have to consider faculty layoffs. Some faculty reductions will be achieved through attrition as professors retire or move on to otherjobs, he said .) Auld also added that he announced the provincial grants in November so as “to give people more time to sort out their budgets.” It’s around November when universities make d.ecisions on hiring and firing, he said. Ontario can still have a good educational system with the projected funding, Auld said. ,He pointed out that 41.5 per cent of Ontarions attended to some degree post-secondary education, which is 2 per cent higher than in the United States. Although he admitted that he wasn’t overly competent to say whether universities are overstaffed, he queried as to why the student-faculty ratio hasn’t varied in years. Perhaps by increasing the student-faculty ratio from 13.8 per professor to 15.8, the problem of overstaffing might be solved, Auld suggested. He advised universities “to take a very hard look at the open university. Universities should each specialize in concept and part-time studies.” certain fields to avoid duplication and there should be more “cross operat, ing’ ’ between institutions , Auld said. * ’ Earlier, when speaking/ to 100 UW students and profe-ssors, Auld pointed out that government funding for education increased from $24.5 million in 1960 to today’s $568 million. In addition, 1Ontario still spends more of its gross provincial product on post+econdary education than the U.S., Denmark, Germany, France and Japan, which average 1.3 per cent, * he said. . ci‘ While France spends .6 per cent of its gross national product and the U.S. 2.5 per cent, Ontario spends 2.8 per cent. Moreover, the per capita expenditure in education zoomed from $13 in 1961-62 to $101 in 1971-72, Auld stated. A total of $3 billion has been spent 1on university operating budgets in Ontario since 1960. “The provincial government still has post-secondary education as one .of its priorities,” Auld said. But he warned the audience that although “we ’ have a fine educational system; we’ll have to rationalize it.” But Auld was criticized by student senator Andy Telegdi who said although th&govemment’s assumptions about education are good,,reality isn’t. -Even the Ontario Council on University Affairs-a buffer body _ between the province and universitiesin a report stated that the university system is underfunded, Telegdi said. “Unless the government can respond to the universities’ needs there’ll ,be serious trouble,” Telegdi asserted. He pointed out the “clout” the lower educational system exercised when teachers went out o&trike to press for their demands. I

The Canadian Association for Repeal of the Abortion Law (CARAL) commented March 26 on the Supreme Court of Canada decision, upholding the Quebec Court of Appeal’s conviction of Dr. Henry Morgentaler. Dr. Morgentaler, a well-known Montreal physician, was charged with performing abortion in violation of section 251 of the Criminal Code. Dr. Morgentalerwas acquitted in November, 1973, by a Montreal jury of 11 men and one woman. In a move unprecedented in Canada, his acquittal was later reversed by the Quebec Court of Appeals, and sentencing by trial judge James Hugesson was ordered. Justice Hugesson. sentenced Morgentaler to 18 months in prison, and Morgentaler appealed to the Supreme Court of Canada which heard his case in October 1974. In upholding the conviction by the Quebec Court of Appeals, the Supreme Court has effectively denied the right of the accused to be judged by a jury of his peers, and discounted the traditional importance of the jury system. In their six to three decision, (Justice Laskin, Judson and Spence dissenting,) the Supreme Court apparently ruled that Justice Hugesson erred at trial, in admitting the defense of Section 45, which provides that a surgical procedure may be performed, for the benefit of the patient, and providing reasonable care is taken, without criminal liability. Justices Laskin, Judson and Spence opined that both Section 45, and the defense of necessity should have been available, and had been proven, and that the jury acquittal should be upheld. ’ This decision by the Supreme Court ignores the plight of Canadian women and Canadian physicians, under the restrictive abortion law Morgentaler has frequently termed cruel and barbaric. Morgentaler, in an epic battle against the forces for Compulsory Pregnancy, has declared that he performed between six and seven

thousand abortions, in violation of Section 251 of the Criminal Code. Section 25 1 provides that legal abortion may be performed only in an approved or accredited hospital, after approval by a therapeutic abortion committee of at least three doctors, who certify that continuation of the pregnancy would or would not be likely to endanger the life or health of the pregnant woman. However, fewer than one quarter of Canadian general hospitals have established such committees, and there are serious socioeconomic and geographic inequities in access to safe, medical, legal abortion in Canada. CARAL, in deploring the conviction of a competent, compassionate physician for practising medicine according to the dictates of his conscience, notes the irony of Morgentaler’s recently an-. nounced selection, to receive, with feminist Betty Friedan, the American Humanist of the Year Award. Among previous recipients of the award have been: Margaret Sanger, Linus Pauling, Dr. Benjammin Speck, Dr. Eric Fromm, Dr. Thomas Szasz, Dr. Albert Ellis, Dr. Maty Calderone, B.F. Skinner, Buckminster Fuller and Brock Chisolm. The award will be presented May 24, 1975, at Webster College, St. Louis, MO. It is likely to be accepted by someone representing Morgentaler, since his’ sentence probably begins immediately. CARAL reiterates its determination to work for the repeal of restrictive abortion law to make abortion, like all other medical procedures, a private matter between a patient and her physician. Said E.B. Ratcliffe, president? “We call upon the government of Canada.to immediately repeal section 251 of the Criminal Code. 62% of Canadians were reported, according to a Gallop Poll in October 1974, as believing that abortion should be a private matter between a patient and her physician. It is time, said Mr. Ratcliffe, that the legislators of this country, caught up with public opinion.

Despite the fact that an 11.4 per cent saiary increase “in no way compensates for the very real loss in purchasing power that the faculty have suffered over the past several years” the board of governors ratified the 11.4 figure ‘which was recommended by university president Burt Matthews. The board meeting Tuesday morning heard little debate on the subject of facutly raises despite the fact that outgoing faculty association presidena Mike McDonald stated that “we will not sit idly by and watch our purchasing power, our numbers, our working conditions, and with them, higher educaOntario decline .” tion in McDonald then went on to describe the alternatives that now face the faculty, in light of the fact that the majority recommendation of the Salary Steering Committee was not recommended by Dr. Matthews. The steering committee had recommended a raise of, 12.2 per cent. The faculty, according to McDonald could choose to make common cause with university presidents, boards and administrators, however with the rejection of the 12.2 per cent figure, a second course must be ,considered. This would be to abandon the cooperative approach in favour of an adversary position; which in effect means a unionisation of the faculty. McDonald, then assured the board that the faculty- would rather not unionise, but would rather seek to advance academic values in a collegial way. ’ ‘Dr. Matthews in his remarks in introducing the motion, stated that he felt that the 12.4 per cent figure was justified in terms of merit however the budgeywould not tolerate that figure. This sentiment was echoed by a few board members who did speak to the motion, including one member who felt that the university was going down the drain financially. It is interesting to note that despite the presence of several faculty members on board of governors, the motion passed without opposition. Staff raises -were also ratified by the board. This covers all regular non-teaching, non-union sjaff emp- , loyed by the university. Raises of fifteen per cent were granted to the _ secretarial/clerical staff, security staff, village housekeepers and technical lt-3t as well as service personnel. All raises are effeetive July 1, 1975. Technical grades 4t-9t _ received a raise of sixteen per cent while raises of twelve and thirteen per cent were given to management #and professional staff in schedules A and B respectively. The per centage figures were deiiyed from surveys done both in the community and across Ontario in. regards to remuneration paid by other companies for similar work. In other business, the board approved a recommendation from the presidential search and nominating committee that Dr. Matthews be reappointed for another term of six years. -randy

Wilson and Parr suggested a need to redefine the term. It was suggested . that the term be defined to mean “equality of access to a limited number of places” within the svstem rather than as a xcommittment to providing sufficient spaces to meet demand. Mention was made of the need for universities to “re-examine‘ their levels of academic ‘qualification for-admission” to limit the proportion of high school students who go o.n to university, and a general reduction in the range of courses and programmes offered by institutions. Wilson cautioned the universities not to become “too restrictive” in limiting t-heir intake of high school graduates. He said they should “do the best job they can do with the likely level of revenue, in terms of acceptmg up to the full number of students at present levels of accessibility.” Parr called a decrease in the number of faculty “an inevitable conclusion” if productivity increases were to be shown by the universities. He said the province feels there are “too m!any” faculty, and asked the “some indication of the extent of universities to give the government faculty reductions which could be achieved without severe damage.” Wilson agreed “the question of faculty dismissals did need to be faced” but said that this,was not unique to universities. Hospitals and secondary schools, he said, were other social services th,at would soon be placed\ in the same situation by the provincial government. According to the CdU summary, the university representatives “recognized the need of the minister for success stories (i.e. universities that have successfully implemented the cutbacks) to help in being an advocate of the universities. These really could only be found by showing a demonstrable improvement in efficiency.” .

You have to carry a personal record with you at all times, you’re not allowed to work, you could bedeported within 24 hours, and have no civil rights. That is how the plight of international students was described in a campus centre forum on Wednesday. The forum, organised by the International Students Organisation. (ISO), was -held to discuss Canada’s immigration policy and work permits. The picture drawn by Ruth Rempel of IS0 and Professor Colin De’Ath, representing the Kitchener-Waterloo Human Rights Caucus, was that students applying to study inCanada had to m<et very stringent requirements, such as being able to totally finance their stay (tuition and all) and their passage home. And once in, they have to carry their Canadian date of entry record with them at all times. Also their visa has to be renewed each *year-r- and in some cases every month.

The result of these discuss&s is contained in the draft report of the policiesand plans speciafiub-committee, which recommends that universities agree to implement the cutbacks in their short-term and long-term planning9 The report says the university system has gone from a “golden age” in the ’60s when government and the public supported the purposes ofipost secondary education, to a waning of public support and a shift in govemment priorities which makes the * present and future “a time of troubles” for universities. ‘The government’s message to the universities is clear, says the report: s Davis wants “more scholar for the dollar”.

The AEAA thinks it most unwise of the government to- sell nuclear expertise to’ these countries.” The government’s main argu-* ment is that if Canada didn’t sell nuclear technology to these countries someone else would. But Norrie thinks this ‘is a pretty thin argument: “The point is that Canada -thepeace-keeping nation -should not be helping other countries make atomic bombs if these countries refuse to sign the NPT.” The third point of the petition deals with the uranium enrichment plant being built along with the huge hydroelectric project in James Bay-in northern Quebec. -

Little attention With much- attention being focusedon the problems of the hydro project itself, the accompanying enrichment plant has received little ,’ attention. Basically, the’ process of uranium enrichment greatly increases the amount of radioactivity in regular uranium. This enriched uranium can be used in reactors which will then need only regular water as a coolant. Reactors using non-enriched uranium require heavy water as a coolant, that is water containing hydrogen with an extra neutron. This heavy-water must be specially manufactured. Since CANDUs do not even use enricheduranium, the Quebec government would sell most of the ‘enriched z.

purify-whatever their shortcomings-are &if&mly applied to Hudson (a manufacturer of low-priced drugs) and BristolMeyers (the maker of Excedrin and Bufferin). All you real&get when you pay $1.29 or more for 100 Excedrins is a deceptive and useless package for your aspirins. Break down an Excedrin tablet and what do you find?-three grains of aspirin (a grain is 1/480th ounce) plus 1.5 grains of 6 acetaminophen, an aspirin-substitute that is useful to people who are allergic to aspirin, but which is useless to those people in this formula, since here it is mixed with aspirin. This is a total of 4.5 grains of analgesic, 0.5 grains less than a plain old aspirin. There’s 65 milligrams (about one grain) of caffeine in there too; that’s about the amount in a half cup of coffee. Caffeine has no pain-relieving ability. It’s a stimulant. _ There is one other allegedly “active” ingredient in Excedrin. That’s 2 grains of salicylamide, a compound that the American Medical Association Drug Evaluations call “too weak and unreliable to be useful.” In short, Bristol-Meyers has no scientific grounds to claim that Excedrin is an “extra-strength pain reliever.” --ANTACIDS

By George.Finlay Every time you sneeze, a big drug company gets richer. But there are ways of reducing their profits a little next time you’re sick. As paydecks shrink or disappear altogether, people should know that a family c_an be just as well protectehfrom the mis* &able symptoms of colds, sore throats and flu without the expensive over-the-couriter - brand name remedies. Aspirin is the most effective analgesic (pain-reliever) -and antipyretic (feverreducer) known. It is the anonymous “pain-reliever that doctors recommend most” in the Excedrin, Anacin and AlkaSeltzer advertisements. It is available at retail prices ranging from 59 cents to as low as 17 cents for 100 five-grain tablets under unadvertised brand names. And there is no r&son to spend more. The standards of

Anacin, Vanquish, Cope, Bufferin and Alka-Seltzer are other aspirin disguises. All the above except Anacin-which is nothing more than aspirin plus caffeine-exploit the claim that combining aspirin with antacids makes it faster-acting -and less irritating to the stomach. Ndt so, concludes a 1971 study by the Panel on Drugs for Relief of Pain that was commissioned by the National Academy of Sciences. The study is quoted in “The Medicine Show,” a publication of Consumers Union (paperback, 384 pp., $3.50) that’s an excellent guide for people trying to stay well and fend off the efforts of the medical industry to profit from their misthe study ery. “There is no evidence,” concludes, “to indicate that the speed of onset of analgesic action is significantly increased” in combination with antacids. Furthermqre the study found “little difference in the incidence or intensity or (stomach upset) after ingestion of Bufferin, or plain aspirin.”

But like everything else, aspirin has bad aspects. It sometimes causes irondeficiency anemia (reduction in red blood cells) when it is used continuously over long periods. This is because it does irritate stomach linings. The lining reacts to prolonged irritation by bleeding slightly and the blood is lost in the fetes. S-o really longterm users should get regular blood counts and people with stomach ulcers or go.ut should ask a doctor before taking it. It also slows the pro&& of blood-clotting. So people with blood-clotting disorders, 5as well as women about to give birth should avoid it. And nobody should take more than 10 five-grain tablets in 24 hours without consulting a doctor. . Beware also the pretty ‘colours, sweet tastes and alluring pictures that are used to market so-called children’s aspirin. All that amounts to is-an invitation to 8 poisoning when a child mistakes them for candies. It is a simple matter to break up a regular aspitin for kids and mix Yt with honey or jelly if necessary. (Dose: one grain per year of age up to five grains at the most.) COLDS

Cold statistics are the same now as they were 50 years ago. Americans still get an average of two or three colds’ a year and they stay infected for a week or two no matter what they take. While we wait for the development of a vaccine against lOO-odd cold viruses, there are measures that can be taken to alleviate some of the symptoms. Inhaling steam will loosen mucous secretions and therefore help relieve a cough and stuffiness. For especially bothersome stuffiness, nose drops or spray of phenylephrine hydrochleride solution USP 0.5 percent (Neo-Synephrine, for example) is effective. However it shouldn’t be used more than two or three times a day since it can-like all decongestants-leave you more stuffed up than you were to begin with when it wears off. Though research has shown that decongestants are most efficient when applied directly to the source of the problem via nose sprays, some prefer to take a pill. According to Consumers Union there are only two available without a,prescription in dosages large enough to be useful-pseudoephedrine, which is sold under the trade name “Sudafed,” effective

Richard Nixon is gone~but a good part of _ his legacy is living on in the administration of Gerald Ford. The globe-trotting inachinations of Secretary of State Henry Kissinger are, of .,course, an obvious manifestation. But the Ycontinuity is evident on the domestic front aS well, especial,ly in the former President’s bnslaught against civil liberties; dressed up ‘in the,.guise of the fight for “law and order. ” The irony is that while the former president and vice president have been- condemned & criminals and former key cabinet officials face prison terms, much of the substance of their programs for repressi%n is still in the works. The Senate opened this year, for in.’ . ,stance, with a legislative package known as “S. 1.” or the Criminal Justice Reform Act Iof1-19a5. It, was written under the direction ,of fortier Attorney General John Mitchell, . now a convicted felon. In its mqre than 700 pages it attempts to “legalize” many of the illegal practices, attempted and actual, of the Nixon regime. Some of the provisions are the following: -An individual who, “as a result of his being or having been a public servant,” obtains “classified” data and manages “to communicate such information to a person who is not authorized to redeive it,” can be convicted and imprisoned. This is aimed at closing up the “loopholes” that appeared in the government’s c.se against Daniel Ellsberg-who released the Pentagon Papers-and is an indication of the severe strains within the government and among i_ts employees. Since this condition is bound to be aggravated by the contention within the ruling class, the administration would like to impose criminal sanctions to curtail it. -Anyone attempt,ing to republish “classified” data can face a seven-year sentence and a $50,00O&ve. This is clearly aimed at the press and the First Amend-

ment, since the operative deed is defined as making such “information available by any means to a person or to the general pubmedia outlet or lic.” Every newspaper, publishing house which publicized excerpts from the Pentagon Papers or some of the material leading to Nixon’s resignation, for instance, could have been hit with such a charge. -Persons making “unreasonable noise” or “obstructing vehicular or pedestrian traffic” anywhere near a “temporary residence or office of the President” would be charged with a crime. This would have, in effect, outlawed most of the large demonstrations of the 196Os, since it would virtually prohibit all protests on or near government property. -Persons organizing, leading or even participating in a group which aims to “bring about the forcible oyerthrow or destruction of the government of the United States or of any state as speedily as ci&mstances permit” can be jailed for 15 years. This would virtually outlaw the left with provisions even looser than those utilized during the witch-hunts of the 1950s. -Any citizen could have his or her “emergency intercepphone tapped as an wheneverthe President decides tion” there is a ‘-‘-danger to the structure or existence of the government.“-This would remove all present restraints on wiretapping, however ineffective they already- _are. ’ The S.l. bill is still in the stage df proposed legislation. Getting it through both the Senate and House, and then past the Supreme Court, is another question. Its significance, howevei, rests in its dovetailing already existing repressive practices and widening their effectiveness by writing them into the legal code. The curreint debate in Congress over wiretapping, for instance, centers Qn whether the eavesdropping should be done with or without a warrant in the case of “domestic” criminals and radicals. A “national security” wiretap supposedly aimed at foreigners can be done now simply on the’ order of the attorney general.

Most federal agencies and almost all local police forces of any significant size already have the capability for bugging telephones and have in fact done so. Noting this practice, Rep. Robert Kastenmeier (D-Wise.) stated in a House subcommittee meeting last month that its further enhancement “could form the cornerstone of a ftiture police state.” Others expressed doubt, however, thatthe legal requirement of obtaining warrants would make much difference. The fact of the matter,” said Rep. Robert Drinan (D-Mass.), “is that federal judges virtually never deny these requests” for taps. Adding to the scope of surveillance practices was the revelation last December by the Bell Telephone Co. that it had conducted nearly 1.8 million phone taps between 1965 and 1970. Bell officials claimed the practice was aimed at detecting individuals cheating the phone corn-pany on long distance calls by various means. While Bell’s claim to be acting in defence of its profits is undoubtedly true, it doeS not rule out-other probabilities. The Bell security force, said the Dec. 23 New York Post, “is one of the most powerful private police groups in the country” and “dominated by ex-FBI agents.” “The security group,” said the Post, “also is the key link for law enforcement agencies that want to establish a legal wiretap of their own. Under Bell company policy, the security agents, without consultation with other executives, judge the validity of all court orders. . . . Misuse of this system is prevented, according to one agent, only by ‘my integrity and the integrity of those with whom 1 work.“’ Apparently that integritydoesn’t amount to much. One Bell official in Texas was recently found dead with a suieiae note complaining of Bell’s illicit practices. His family claims the security force hounded him to death. Bell’s penetration by “former” FBI officials could turn the powerful monopoly’s communication apparatus intcLan arm of

in 30 to 60 milligram doses, and phenylpropanolamine, sold as “Propadtine,” effective in doses of 25 to 50 milligrams. Sucking hard candies can ease the pain of a sore throat by increasing mucous secretions. Also, by a process of osmosis, a gargle of warm salt water will dehydrate swollen tissues in a sore throat; that shrinks them and relieves some of the discomfort. SOME

RISKS

But drug companies last year persuaded us to buy some $600,million worth of junk, which. they convinced us were cold remedies. While some of them have mild ef_fects oh cold symptolis, cone is useful enough to justify the cost-and/or the risk involved. The cold medicines-Contac, Dristan and Coricidin, as well as Coricidin D, Alka-Seltzer Plus, Sinarest, Sine-Off and similar preparations are different combinations of some or all of the following ingredients: the familiar aspirin, caffeine and antacids plus an antihistamine (usually chlorpheniramine) and a decongestant (phenylpropanolamine). Antihistamines are effective against allergic reactions but they have no effect on cold symptoms. They do, however, make the user drowsyand they probably have accounted for more than a few automobile accidents. The decongestant phefiylpropanolamine does fry up swollen membranes for a few hours at doses of 25 to 50 milligrams. But none of the’se over-the-counter preparations with the exception of Contac contain enough of it to have anything but a brief drying effgct. The serious drawback of ContaC is that the so-called “time-release” occurs at different rates in different folks, so most people are exposed to either too large or too small 8 dosage of the decongestant. A more reliable way to temporarily clear up stuffiness is with the nose drops described abdve. When this/ decaying production-forprofit system is replaced by socialism, . mass lie campaigns like the dries-regularly used to sell pain and cold remedies will be crimes and accurate heal&information will be spread by the media. Meanwhile, “The Medicine Show ,” a major source of the information summarized.here’, is a big help for people who have to debunk the ads, .-budget their money, and still stay healthy.

* the nation’s political police, if it has not already-done so. Similar efforts to join police agencies -and private institutions have also been exposed on a local level. In Los Angeles, for instance, the American Civil Liberties Union and other local groups recently took the police department to court for maintaining what was dubbed the ‘ ‘Alpha’File,” a system for monitoriEg the behaviour of the city’s Black youth. Here the police secretly compiled and disseminated information on teenagers by making use of “observers” such as bus drivers, school employees, housing employees and recreation workers. The data was used to increase police surveillance, to deny employment and to expel youths from school-all without legal procedures. While President Ford may try to separate himself from various deeds of his predecessor, he has all but proclaimed operations like the “Alpha File” a matter of national policy. Speaking before some 3000 cheering police chiefs last fall, he called for special programs in minority neighbourhoods to “target and keep track of professional criminals” and to provide a streamlined system of criminal justice for meting out “swift and prolonged imprisonment.” The reason for it all is clear enough. “Anytime you have a recession,” a police official told the Wall Street Journal last month, “it’s just as natural as night and day that an increase in crime will follow.” Added another prison supervisor: “The courts, the prisons-they’ll-be piling up come .12 to 15 months from now. . . We’re going to be bursting at the seams.” Like Nixon, Ford has long been a champion of repressive legislation. He has backed almost every “law and ordei” measure, .including wiretapping, preventive detention, no-knock entry and capital punishment. Now he is trying to expand the definition of “criininal” to include not only desperate unemployed workers driven to petty crime, but also those who have taken up the political struggle against the rule of monopoly capital that is responsible for it all.

In an interview March 26 Laughren emphasized the need for universal accessibility to a university education. “The poor and the working classes must be given a chance to break out of the cycle,” he maintained. The NDP plan “will cost a great deal of money, like any social reform, and it must be accompanied by massive tax changes.” To implement them Laughren would increase personal, corporation and resource taxes. He said, “changes in resources taxation last year raised $144 million, a three-fold increase.” But, he pointed out, mining profits last year were “about $1.5 billion.” Personal taxes will increase, “but plenty of people are benefiting from the privilege of this society without paying the cost.” Because universities benefit everybody, education costs should be “financed by people whether they’ve been there or not,” he said. He is strongly critical of Auld’s contingency repayment scheme under which students would pay back their education costs in long term installments. NDP favours formula-financing over the Liberal “global budgeting” because it avoids “who do you know-pork barrel politics.“’ But Laughren says BIUs have several major deficiencies. The most obvious problem, he notes, is that “support hasn’tcoped with inflation. ’ ’ Laughren said large’universities suffer less hardships after cutbacks _ than small growing universities because ‘.:they have more room to. manw

Western faces $3.1 million LONDON (CUP)-The University of Western Ontario will have a $3.1 million deficit in 1975-76, according to the budget passed by the university’s senate March 13. The cause of the deficit is because expenses will increase in 1975-76 by 17.2 per cent, according to the Senate report, while operating grants from the provincial govemment will increase only 7.4 per cent. Western’s Budget and Finance Committeesays there are sufficient reserves to cover next year’s operating deficit, but what happens

What’s the The Federation of Students purports to represent UW grads--and undergrads, but at council and presidential elections only 25 per cent of the electorate bothers to show. But then who cares? For every year it’s the same old story: students don’t seem to be concerned about the welfare of their federation. While some pundits attribute the problem to stuothers ‘advocate dent “apathy”, ‘that the federation needs to undergo structural changes to entice student involvement. However, either way you.cut it the result is the same. Students aren’t using the federation’s immense resources to better their academic and social environment. A pity, for the federation could be a powerful lobby of student concern since it’s a corporation with a - yearly budget of a quarter of a million dollars. The income. comes from a non-refundable levy of $25 per student. With this money, the federation tries to provide students with var.-& ous services that it ,feels could be useful or entertaining. All decisions as to where tangible resources will be allocated are made by students’ council, a body representative of the entire campus. At present, council is composed of elected representatives from each faculty: 0 . four arts; \ l four mathematics-two regular, one co-op and one summer; e five engineering-three regular and two summer; l four science-three regular and one co-op; l three Environmental Studies-two regular and one co-op; l three Human Kinetics and Leisure Studies-ne regular, one co-op and one summer; l one Integrated Studies; l two Graduates Studies; o one from Renison College; l one from St. Jerome’s Colege.

The representation is divided up ‘among the various groups on the basis of faculty enrolment. No faculty may Hold more than half the seats on council. The federation further divides itself up into boards, each responsible to a particular area of “student life” such as entertainment, education, publications, external relations, creative arts or cooperative services. These boards are- coordinated by a chairperson who receives $200 per term for the job. Extra help is provided by students dying to work with the federation. Usually the federation president, elected every February, is the only salaried council member. However, recent years have witnessed the proliferation of additional paid staffers to cope both with the stag~ gering workloads and the fait accompli of dwindling volunteerism on the part of the student body. But despite its much touted potential, the federation is severely limited by the UW senate and board of governors-the governing bodies of the university administration. Needless to say, lack of student participation also plays a decisive role in constricting the federation’s influence.

Tough job, tough shit Federation president John Shortall has one of the toughest jobs on I campus. Elected Feb. 5 to represent 13,000 students, he works fulltime for a salary of $6,656 a year. But “full-time” -for a federation president means working 16 hours a day, attending countless meetings and performing a myriad of executive duties. He sometimes works , on weekends, which all told adds up to 70 hours a week. However,‘*the president can’t complain because the tradition of student p_olitics calls for such dedication. In fact one couldn’t do otherwise if one subscribes to the belief that a strong federation representing students’ interests in various political issues is absolutely necessary..

Things ain’t the way they used to be. In the good’old days students engaged Tn countless demonstrations, now (with the so/e exception of the gallant efforts of the Renison Academic Assembly) , not even a hammer on the head can stir the undergraduates.-

One of the perennial problems ‘facing federation presidents yearly is the reluctance of councillors ~to get involved in the many campaigns that the organization engages itself in. Councillors generally tend to restrictthemselves to merely coming to meetings’ rather than reporting back to their constituencies on what the federation is doing. The federation president’s job is an all embracing one: he/she has to. attend more meetings than one would deem possible; to parley and negotiate with administrators; to act as chief executive officer for a, corporation with a substantial budget; and last but not least to confer with various student groups. During the last few years, the number of presidential hopefuls has shrlnked thus reflecting the in-

This article analyses the development of a-working class organization in Italy since the end of the last World War. It focuses on the Lotta Continua, the most radical of the working class organizations in Italy. The point the article seeks to make is the development of .Lotta Continua’s revoltitionary theory and how it evolved out of the perceived needs of labour. One cannot inject theory into the working classes and their organizations. Instead the theory dtivelops on the fac&y floor and in the lower class communities of Italy. The left is quite strong in Italy to the extent of having the strongest political -2 party in the Italian parliament and this article helps to understand the question: Why in Italy? To understand Italy today, one must understand the changes which have occurred in the composition of the working class and the stresses which have been put on Italian society in response to the rapid industrialization after the war. The communists and working-class organizations emerged from the second world war in a position of strength.-;Anti-fascist groups who had fought the Germans and the Italian collaborators were not prepared to hand over the power to the Americans and the Italian bourgeois. The ruling-. class, with the assistance of the Marshall Plan, began the reconstruction of the economy. The Communist Party, along,with the other parties of the left, co-operated with them in exchange for participation ,in the government. Guerrilla groups, who had been armed since the resistance were disarmed. Once this was done the bourgeoisie ousted the communists from the government and aproceeded to suppress working-class organizatidns including the trade-unions. Once this was accomplished the industrialization of Italy could begin. Rather than benefitting the Italian workers, they paid for it in terms of low wages, high unemployment, and poor conditigns on the job and in the cities. This industrialization, which was limited almost exclusively to the north, was predicated on the destruction of the traditional way of life in the largely rural south. Agriculture was rationalized into larger units and mechanized. Millions of peasants and agricultural labourers were driven off the land to form a huge industrial reserve army which served to keep wages low. Between 1950 and 1967, more than a third of the population moved from one district to another. The working-class could offer little resistance to this process. Wages in Italy remained among the lowest in Europe while working conditions deteriorated. Speeds on the assembly-line were pushed up and up, to become the highest in Europe. Meanwhile, the Communist Party and the trade-unions pushed a line of class collaboration based on the premise that what was good for the bourgeoisie was good for the proletariat. The unions adapted a business unionism which stressed . productivity. Exploitation was considered “tolerable” as long as the workers benefitted in terms of

highei wages. Working conditions were never discussed; capitalist control of production was taken for granted an$only the degree of exploitation was open to bargaining.

Workers’

autonomy

industrial worker who lacked any individual skill and worked on the assembly lines of the large factories in auto, rubber, chemicals, and stee!. Many of these workers had come from the south, where they lacked any tradition of trade unionism but nevertheless had a long history of active militancy which took such forms as land takeovers or the burning of the local townhall. Other workers had been influenced by the student movement of 1967-68’which had a specific anti-capitalist content, challenging capitalist control over the universities and questioning the way knowledge was geared for use by the capitalists. The workers from the south, came north only to discover conditions which were hardly likely to endear them to the system. They came north for the high wages but found that even when they could get work, their money was gobbled up by the high cost of food, transportation, and housing. The state had been particularly negligent in providing any sort of housing for these internal immigrants. Shanty towns grew up outside of all the large cities and several families were often crowded into a single apartment. On the job, conditions were often hazardous; the speed of the line was inhuman

“Wages-In ‘Italy remained among the lowest iri Europe while working conditions deteriorated. Speeds on assembly lines were pushed up and up to become the highest in Europe.” ’ and they were subjected to the aibitrary authority of their foreman and managers. Resistance tias at first passive and individual in the form of absenteeism (with thousands of workers a day booking off sick) anrd sabotage. 1968 marked the beginning of collectivized action. In 1969, the stage was set for a showdown. The trade unions and the CPI were prepared to make a deal with the bosses. They wished to have their role as mediators of the class conflict recognized and be granted a little more official power on that basis. Their main tactic was a demand for social reform and huge wage increases. This would givethem some credibility with the workers and cash in on th& boom Italy was going through. The large firms for the most part were willing to settle for higher wages so as to cause as little disruption in production as possible. The unions were prepared to guarantee industrial peace as their part of the bargain. Such a -trade-off between the unions and the monopolies also fitted into the general strategy of the large, Italian owned, state subsidized firms against the smaller, American owned or financed companies which were increasingly being faced with-liquidation or absorption into the larger firms. Italian-industry had co&e to be dominated by a few, veiy large firms in oil, rubber, auto, and steel. These monopolies were prepared to use the unions as weapons in rationalizing the Italian economy by driving out the more efficient companies. There was only one flaw to this plan. The unions, in order to go through the ritual, had to call on the workers. As was pre-figured in the 1968 strikes, in which several unofficial workers’ committees and “base committees” were formed, the workers developed their own aims and tactics and the unions lost control of the situation.

The working-class, however, is not just a passive object of history. Workers, individually and colletitively, struggle daily against capital. The working-class in-Italy, after 20 years of doymancy, has shown that they are capable of going far beyond the limitations imposed on their struggle by their unions. They have begun to challenge the right of capital to impose its logic on their daily lives and have forced the ruling class on the defensive in terms of the future direction of the society. The industrialization of Italy had changed the Mass Vanguards composition of the working-class. The older, skilled workers,, with pride in their work, who had’ The impetus for th$ “Hot Autumn”’ of 1969 been the backbone of the trade-unions and the CPI, .came from the southern workers in the auto and heavy metal factories in Turin, Milan and other were no longer at the centre stage of the class. They had been replaced by the young mass- , northern cities. They formed what Lotta Continua

Organising for an ah -

and Potere Operaio (Workers’ Power) refer to as a, mass vanguard. The mass vanguard in any struggle is that section of the class whic& provides internal leadership in initiating the action providing a focal point around which other people can clarify their thinking. It is the task of the mass vanguard to make links with other mass vanguards within t.he same factory complex, in other factories in the area, .withiq the student struggles and-in the community. They are a vanguard in the sense that they are the “most advanced elements” but they are not external to the struggle nor do they represent a group of st,udents or intellectuals serving penitence within the working-class. Rather they arrive quite naturally (which is not to say spontaneously) out of the struggle, making the links with other workers and in their understanding of themselves as workers both on and off the job. I During the “Hot -Autumn”, the tactics of the workers were designed to maximize the disruption of production as well as increasing the contradictions faced by the CPI and trade unions who on the one hand are charged with the responsibility of keeping t_he peace among the workers and on the other must respond to the militancy of the workers (if only to keep it in check) irrorder to maintain their power base. The sort of strike normally used by the unions cost the workers the most and the employers the least. The employer has plenty of warning and can organize himself so as not to be hit tqo hard while the workers are given little help to get together and organize themselves. The Italian workers have understood that the factory is the heart of the employers’ power and that it can and must become the centre of their power as well. When the strike wave began in the spring of 1969, the workers challenged the old forms of conflict. When the unions called them out on strike, rather than passively going home and remaining isolated, they downed their tools and held mass meetings in the canteen. When the union called a two hour strike, they would make it four. Rather than all the workers going out at once, they developed the rotating strike within the same com&ex: different sections and shops would go out at different times, ensuring the maximum disruption of production arid hitting the owner where he was F L

Cla s most vulnerable. At the same time such actions minimize the loss to workers in terms of lost wages and often result in the workers on the job, collecting pay, with nothing to do. Another tactic used by the workers was the snake. This involves the workers marching through all sections of the plant, pulling out the other workers, smashing machines, and holding tet&a-t&t& with scabs. This tactic was useful in building contact between various groups of workers as well as breaking down the split between white-collar and blue-collar workers. As the struggle continued on into the seventies the militancy and the political consciousness of the workers continued to grow. The demands raised by the workers indicated the autonomous nature of their struggle. One of the methods which capital uses to co-opt union demands is to tie wage increases to increases in productivity. Rather than benefitting labour in any real way this merely strengthens capital.

achieved by giving the correct line on the class. Instead unity can only be achieved by the direct action of the class itself. In certain factories such as Alfa Romero in Milan, in 1972, after showing an initial passivity, increasing numbers of clerical workers began to participate in the wild-cats and the marches which eventually lead up to a factory occupation. They began to advance their own demands for an end to wage differentials and categorisation. During the struggles the separation and isolation of the workers began to break down in other ways. The isolation imposed by the anonymity of the assembly line and the distance between workers in one shop and another was broken down by open discussion. Mass meetings were held involving several thousand workers. Smaller meetings on the shop level and between workers from different sections were used to discuss preceeding events and tactics and strategies for the future. If separation is used as a tool to keep the class down, then solidarity and understanding built through open communication is a weapon to be used by the workers. It becomes necessary at this stage to advance the struggle through the linking up of the various mass vanguards. Unification at this level helps to demystify the divisions within bourgeois society between worker and student, waged (the industrial worker) and the unwaged (the housewife), between the employed and unemployed. The capitalist system is a complete system. The division between student and worker is one aspect of the split between mental and manual labour within capitalism and by struggling together both groups can understand their mutual’exploitation. The split between man the producer and woman, the stay at home consumer, mirrors the split in capitalism of and consumption. While the production employed/unemployed personify the contradiction between the increasing exploitation of the worker and the inability of capital to use an increasingly large number of us even for its own advantage. Unification occurred in the worker-student assemblies which were set-up outside of Fiat in 1969. It occurs during the daily politicization of the workers by the students outside the factory gates.

Within the community, unification came when it was realised that gains made in the workplace must be defended on the point of consumption. It does little good if wage increases are gobbled up by increases in the cost of food, housing and transportation. The working-class, lead mainly by the women, responded with a series of refusals to pay fare hikes in public transportation. They responded to the housing crises, high rents, over crowding, slum conditions, by rent strikes and OC: cupations of public housing and apartments left vacant by speculators. Whole communities defended the rights of homeless families to shelter by preventing the police from dragging the squatters away. The struggles were fought by the women and children during the day, with the assistance of workers from nearby factories, and with the help of their husbands at night.

tions meant. The breakdown of the isolation and alienation of the apartment building lead to the setting-up of communal kitchens, daycare centres and health clinics.

I would like to open up the whole question of where does revolutionary consciousness come from and what groups within society are going to ignite the flame.

Lotta Continua

A look at history

What is the role of the party? Intellectuals? Organization in this paradigm of revolution. Lotta Continua has a very specific critique of the Leninist model of organization based on the relationship of the leadership to the mass movement. They point to France 68 among other examples as historical refutations of the need to inject consciousness into the working-class. However it is not really necessary to develop a critique of Leninist practice here. It is necessary, however, to understand that Lotta Continua has also rejected the spontaneist position on organization. Leadership is necessary but that leadership must come out of the struggle -- itself. Leadership does not spontaneously develop out of the struggle btft advances through the practical experience of the class itself. The c&rectness of revolutionary leadership must be measured by their relationship to the masses and their ability to be the conscious and general .expression of the revolutionary needs of the mas-

.as radicals, take a cl&er look at the class composition of today’s society and try to understand Where the revolution is coming from rather than reading Marx to see what he says.” In having the above perspective, Lotta Continua, is aware that it doesn’t provide any readymade solutions to the specific problems of revolutionary leadership and organization. Maintaining the idea that class leadership will come out of -the mass vanguards the role of revolutionaries then becomes one of “creating the .opportunities and the means for links and communications among workers; to discover ways to have workers themselves participate in analysing their own struggles and drawing lessons from them;. . . to maxirnize the aspect of workers’ autonomy in the choice of organizational form. ’ ’ Centralization, is ‘seen as the result. of the theoretical and practical coordination of the various struggles. What is most essential is “that the development of an overall revolutionary leadership must take place within the mass struggle, and not in a party external or parallel to the mass struggle. A major critique of Lotta Continua has to be made on their perspective on the leadership of the mass vanguard. They see the mass vanguard of the class- being the mass industrial worker. They see the necessity for this mass vanguard to link up with the mass vanguards in the other struggles, other workers, students, women, etc. but they always see that it must be on the terms of the industrial worker. However this seems to be a Marxian holdover, and as a preconceived idea of the direction that the struggle will take, contradicts Lotta Continua’s claim to be “historically objective” in allowing the revolution to develop new forms and content. Up to this point, the mass industrial worker has provided the main revolutionary impetus. The lesson to be learned from the Italian experience so far, even within Lotta Continua’s paradigm, would seem to be not that working on an assembly line in a large plant gives one a superior consciousness, but that it is the refusal to be proletarianized which leads to the development of revolutionary consciousness. This is not to fall into the old trap of “the working-class as counter-revolutionary”. Instead

Rather than’being a new historical tendency, Italy seems to be following a historical pattern. In Russia and in Spain the-revolutionary impetus came from either. the. peasants or newly proletarianized workers. The left for too long has waited for the working-class to lead the way. First it was the skilled worker who would begin to see the contradictions within capitalist society and lead the revolution. It was upon this group of workers that social democracy-and the revisionist left was based. Thenew left groups such as Lotta Continua have made that critique of the craft workers by merely shifting the emphasis to the industrial worker. What is to prevent the embourgeoisement of this group of workers? Again I would like to point out that I am not saying that the workers have sold out completely but am merely suggesting that we as radicals, take a closer look at the class composition of today’s society and try to understand where-the revolution is going to come from rather than reading Marx to see what he says. This is particularily relevant in regards to the revolutionary potential of women. The traditional strategy for revolutionizing women has been to get them into factories, make workers out of them and then we can begin to radicalise them. Lotta Continua falls into the same trap. Women are important only -insofar as they personify the consumption aspect of the workingclass. Hence they can be radicalized around struggles in the communities but again are subservient to the male working-class in terms of revolutionary development. Lotta Continua understands that the “basis of, divisions within the proletariat are material divisions’the capitalist division of labour” and that the “basis for the unification of the proletariat are structural and political transformations imposed on capitalist society by the class struggle”. The point open to question is not whether or not the working-class is going to make the revolution, that must be taken for granted. The question is

’ what is the working-class. Is it only that group of people who work in industry? in the trades? in the bureaucracy? Does a worker cease to be a member of the proletariat when he becomes unemployed? Is a woman less of a proletariat because she labours unpaid at home? Capital has divided the proletariat by its division of labour. There are contradictions within the class which must be recognized. The male worker is exploited as the worker but this does not deny his role as oppressor within the home. A revolutionary transformation of society cannot occur simply because one section of the proletariat has imposed its hegemony over the whole class. The contradictions within the class can only be resolved in struggle, not only against ca ital but also by the various segments of the class 3st uggling against each other. Capital is a social relationship. It exists in the authoritarian/hierarchical relations which are reproduced within us all. The industrial workers, by themselves, can not and will not challenge and destroy these relations. It can only be done by the proletariat acting as a whole.

The Good Goodies Stan and Floss Dworkin Rodale press The Forget About Karen Brooks Rodtile press

Meat cookbook

These two specialised cookbooks have been recently published by Rodale Press in response to the increasing awareness by people for the foods that they eat. The Goodx.Goodies is g book of recipes for natural sweets and snacks; To a large extent sugar has been replaced by either honey or maple syrup. No food additives.or artificial food substitutes are used in these recipes and the authors..claim.that the end products are just as tasty an’d satisfying as the artificially produced. sweets and snacks. One should be aware, however, that iecipes made only with natural foods and which use honey or maple syrup. as sweeteners are much more expensive than the artificially produced candy etc. This is one reason that SO much of today’s food is artificially produced. IL ., , __ j In this.. book +o’ne will find recipes for cookies, cakes,& cream, pastries and pie crusts, pudding&$d muffins and biscuits as we[I as many other items. The authors have been more thin indulgknt in their explanations of not only the ingredients but of the methods used to employ the ingredients. The last chapter in’the

book is a dictionary of the various ingredients used in the recipes and their roles in the recipes. The recipes are not complex or difficult, one only has to get used to using different ingredients such as whole wheat as compared with the standard bleached white flour. The Forget About Meat cookbook is not just for vegetarians, but is aimed at those persons who are making an attempt to cut down the amount of meat eaten in a week. Again this book is not filled with prq . cooked, prepqckaged, ready to serve foods, but rather i,t deals with recipes made from good whole nutrifious foods. Although the book has a good many recipes, there-are also other sections of information which are necessary for the person who is planning to cut down on the amount of meat intake. For instance there is a chart on essential amino acids, how much.of each one needs and the content of amino acids in vari- ’ ous foods. The recipes in the book are fairly simple and cover areas such as side dishes, main dishes, desserts, soups and breads. There is an especially good section on how to bake your own whole wheat bread, as well as other breads. The section on homemade soups and>alad dressings is also very complete. If you are looking for some different recipes this book would be worth looking into. If you cannot locate either of these books at a book store, write to Rodale press Inc. Emmaus, Pa. 18049 for a catalogue.

If you haven’t made it down to the Hyland Theatre to see “The Reincarnation of Peter Proud’ ’ , don’t bother. It will probably hit television soon enough anyway, which is exactly where this type of garbage belongs. Very little insight is required to. discover that the sole raison d’etre of this film is to exploit the rapidly growing market turned on to parapsychological phenomena, and the cult around reincarnation in particular. As a side attraction, bits and pieces ofevery other fad and rage of t’he day are cashed in ai well, excepting maybe the Kung-fu craze. You’ll marvel through scene upon scene of rape, slick old cars, tricky flashbacks, abundant flesh, and so on ad nauseum. Michael Sarrazin plays the “hip” university professor Peter Proud, who is trying to discover his former identity by ferreting out people he has come to recognize through revelations of his previous life while asleep. Unfortunately one -can’t sympathize with Proud, for he is just too vacuous a character. Sarrazin moves.through the film as though he wishes he had not accepted the part. Every character is played to fit a strict stereotype and is completely unrealistic and simplistic, as is the plot in which he or she is involved. The acting is the worst since /’

the main offender in this “Flesh Gordon”, case being Cornelia Shdrpe, who @lays Prouds “liberated” woman friend at the university. The view of liberation projected, however, consists solely of vocally exuding her desire to drag him into bed. The film strongly* resembles -a made-fortelevision spec‘ial. Like every television series, excepting some comedies and Ijolice shows, the scenario is middle-class America. Proud spends his time in luxury hotels and country clubs, surrounded by black waiters and “bunny” girls. Not once, while driving all across New England, does a single factory or anything resembling a working class neighbourhood appear on the screen to assault the viewer’s finer tastes. The plot is so thin and obvious-,lhat several episodes are greeted by guffaws and snickers from the audience. Any attempt at suspense is therefore ludicrous. The direction is extremely bad, employing’ several over-done, cliched scenes, and in many parts the dialogue is ridiculously ominous. Upon leaving the theatre, however, one may breathe a sigh-of relief, for surely there is no charice of Peter Proud being resurrecteb through a sequel. 5 ‘ -brian amos /-

some thoughts

_ .

In the 60’s, one leaks, a lot of things went on, which do not quite go on now. Well, yes and no. For one thing, Herman Hesse’s 1922 novella Siddhartha became quite a collegething to groove over, and the Vietnam war, the acid, the psychedelics, the Easy Rider made it appear that the only trip one could make was an ‘inner trip’, and the revolution was merely a self-revelation. As The Culture was busy grooving over The Valley ‘of’the Dolls and Airport, a Counter-Culture was slowly germinating, perceptibly mystified by a redity that was ‘all in the head’. During this upsurge passages ljke the following created a celestial music for the initiated and the uninitiated alike: eJ During deep meditatidn it is possible to dispel time, to see simultaneously all the past, present and future, and then everything is good,

everything is perfect, everything is Brahman.- Therefore, it seems- to me that everything that exists is good-+ath as well as life, sin as well as holiness, wisdqm as well’as folly. Everything is necessary, TVerything needs only my agreement, my assent, my loving understanding; then all is well with me and nothing can harm ye. (p. 116)

Words like these, I must admit, are rather disarming. They havq a ring of wisdom and creative gentility to whidh one remains unresponsive at the peril of being boorish. However what is disconcerting is the clamour for wisdom in the absence of intelligence, Words like ‘self-actualisation’, ‘peak experience’, ‘Nirvana’, ‘transcendence’, ‘one-ness’ and wisdom can sit so lightly on th\e lips of the self-indulgent, the turbulent and the indolent of body and spirit, that they become empty and illusive.

Uncle re- Social Work, Chevron, like the author, I am not interested March 14; 1975 with great symin converting anyone to a particular pathy for the Forests and Ms.political’stance; my interest was in Webber, for Ms. Sawyer credited presenting the problems of low ‘in- them with her knowledge of the come housing and in searching for subject. Upon giving the matter some solutions. fugher thought, we realized that Ms. Welches was critical because some of the speakers did not seem intent upon reformation of the problems. For once, she was right. However, the list of speakers was carefully scrutinized to include such participants since, again, unlike the author, I consider it neither educational nor realistic to present only one aspect of a complex problem. To further respond to a few more distortions, I wish to point out that Clarene Ellis, whom Ms. Welches criticized as “expressing relief at getting out (of her poverty) . . .“, is an extremely influential force with those living in Ontario Housing, as Mrs. Ellis is. One must conclude that the author’s chagrin stems from Mrs. Ellis’s refusal to wait to be saved by the author. Denny Wilkinson was also criticized for pointing out that “ . . .we are all people . . .“. In fact, Denny is blind, and unlike Ms. Welchesj he realizes from personal experience that those living in low income housing, as well as the disabled, suffer not only from their housing situation but also from the extreme prejudice directed toward them which makes them feel that, indeed, they are never treated as if “ . . .we are all people . . .” The author’s unreasoning contempt of Mr. Wilkinson suggests an even more crippling blindness.

Candid T -caucus -, I In reply to last week’s article, “Environmental Studies Caucus,” those of us who attended the last meeting of the “caucus” were greatly concerned at the image projected by Michael Gordon in his article. Had he attended the last meeting, we assume he might have gotten a correct view of what went on. Several weeks ago an environmental studies review -board,, met with the departments of planning, architecture, man-environment c and geografihy. This committee commented on the present state of _ Environmental Studies and made several vague suggestions as to the improvement of the faculty. Many people were discouraged by the lack of follow through frop the review board and so have been meeting recentlv in order to review curevaluation decisionriculum, making processes and integration within Environmental Studies. No committee has been formed. This is simply a group of people concerned with positive change in the faculty.

Furthermore, her obsertiations of the events at the conference are--so skewed as to simply invalidate any conclusions reached by her. The conference was not funded by the Federation-of Students because it was used as a political football against Renison College; _ and, thanks, I suspect tothe influence of the Forests, an attempt was made to force the Renison Administration to change their posi-

empirical and hypothetical data underlying her/his technical process. We are appalled that she has never been exposed to such data! In fact, the tone of Ms. Sawyer’s letter is very reminiscent of oldtime do-gooders: saviours who , would bring the poor into their fold. -She simply offers the mantle of communism, rat her than religion, more important, she sounds as if she is suffering from moral indignation brought on by an overdose of piety. Her distortion of Social Work serves to reconfirm our original conviction re the Forests: professors who have never had any courses in Social Work and who have never had a job in Social Work should never teach it. As for Ms. Webber, she made it clear from her first week at Renison that Social Work is not her interest; nor does she seem to have any knowledge of it. In fact, she has said that she hates it. This makes her the exception to the rule that familiarity breeds contempt: her ignorance of Social Work cannot justify the use of the term “familiarity”.

they would not be capable of recognizing her ignorance. For everyone’s information, Social Work is concerned with the enhancement of social functioning, approached from the viewpoint of both the individuals and groups through the social work modalities of case work, group work, family work, community development and organization, etc. The particular medium is the professional relationship. Much of the Sawyer article should have been directed toward social welfare. Her inability. to discriminate between social welfare-a particular societal segprogramme and ment of services-and social work la-id to rest any delusions one might have had about her competence of discuss social work! Research and past experimentation have made nonsense of her theory that all social problems are economically induced: by such reasoning, there would be no such problems in China or Cuba; and only our poor would be neurotic. Although she claims five years in -the social work field, her ignorance confirms-our suspicion that proximity cannot be equated with . (knowledge.
