Students Students employed by the university will be paid less than union scare although they are members of the union. Bruce Gellatly, irice-president in charge of finances told the Board of Governors’ executive committee “students will be paid seventy to eighty per cent of the union salary rate that is paid to employees who work all year round”. Previously, students hired in the summer’ were paid a flat rate of $2.90 an hour. Now the students’ salaries will be calculated on a percentage of the union rate rather than paying a flat rate. Gellatly reported, student painterswill be paid $3.17 an hour and grounds keepers are being now paid $3.05 an hour. This gives students a salary increase over last

However, senate passed Telegdi’s other motion which says: “Ppint out to government the amount of savings accrued to government because of the cooperative programs.

OCUA is a buffer committee set up by the Ontario government to mediate between the university system and the province. Shortall’s protests were backed by student senator Andy Telegdi who asked senate why the legal student bodies such as the federation and the societies weren’t consulted about these matters and he introduced two inotions intended to “rework” the brief’s sections on tuition fees and accessibility. Senate defeated Telegdi’s first motion which was contained in a federation report critical of the uni- * versity brief. The motion says that: “Due to financial hardship, the university system needs a higher

I Burt Matthews, university president supported the differential wages because of the difficult working conditions in the winter season. “Employees have to work in the slush and cold, shoveling sidewalks ,” Matthews insis ted. Students employees must pay union dues, although they will receive across the board salary cuts from the established union wage. Gellatly told the board of governors’ executive committee that federation of students’ president John Shortall was “relatively satisfied” with the wages. When contacted by the chevron, Shortall said he was pleased the

But another federation official, Shane Roberts, pointed out that “asking for the right to increase tuition fees is, in effect, the same as wanting to increase them. ” He also said that the Ontario Student Assistance Program is forcing students to take out more loans and if tuition fees were raised then the situation would further burden students with debts. Roberts queried the need of differential tuition fees for programs as outlined in the university brief since he felt such a measure would reduce accessibility to engineering and medicine programs. The university brief suggests that: “If universities had the ability to charge significantly different fees for comparable programs and still operate under the BIU formula (which in turn determines the university’s provincial grants), an interesting market situation would develop. ’ ’ This market situation would deter any university from in-’ creasing fees in a program “running below capacity” while allowing the same university to increase fees in an “oversubscribed” one. The brief also notes that the ministry of colleges and universities has depriveQniversities of the right to increase fees in line with costs by freezing tuition for 1975-76. In addition, the brief says that the authority of universities to raise fees “is only part of the story:” The other part is whether such a fee increase would mean more income for universities as the.. government could “depress selected weights in the BIU formula, reduce extraformula grants or -follow some other as yet unforeseen strategy.” -john

Operation Phoenix, which operated in Vietnam from 1967-1972, consisted of the assassinations, kidnapping and torture of suspected “Viet Cong sympathizers.” According to Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense Dennis J. Doolin, 26,369 Vietnamese civilians ‘were killed under the Phoenix Program, and another 33,358 were imprisoned without trial. The AID official who gave the 5,000 figure to the San Francisco Examiner said, ,“Most of these (evacuees) were the ,heads of the (various Phoenix) programs. ”

The recent era of rock music has seen the beginnings of a new tide-jazz. Until 1971, when the Newport Jazz Festival, beset by riots and monetary problems, moved to New York, Jazz had never been considered to cut into the rock milieu. However, just about that time, rock seemed to take a bit of afall, and the record companies went looking for something new-something definitely electric and with a lot of energy. Miles Davis with “Bitches Brew” seems to be the recognized herald of that new something; he was the cataljst. Since then, jazz has moved into the rock music field with a vengence, hustled by the record companies that knew the large rock audience would accept it if the electronic gadgetry first developed by rock was used. So, we see people like Chick Corea and Herbie Hancock, plugging in and selling out to the commercial audience, where the money and the glory is. I’ve been following this migration of jazz musicians for some time now, and at first I was rather more than elated that finally jazz was getting its due. When John McLaughlin took -over the upper hand from Miles Davis, and Weather Report, I began to have second thoughts. Musicians became innovative for innovations sake, and the sell-out became too obvious. Synthesizers have become a gimmick and energy now comes from a turn of the knob, not from the musicians. But electric jazz, as it has come to be called, seems to be here to stay, and one is forced to look harder and harder for something refreshing and stylish. So it was with some trepidation that I tried my first taste of Billy Cobham outside of the Mahavishnu Orchestra. To say the least, I was pleased..

I was fully prepared to hear more of the same old thing, but Billy Cobham, who wrote and arranged all cuts on the album, has managed to combine the electric energy with the more traditional in a complementary manner. This album, Total Eclipse, Cobham’s third, has much to offer to, those who have become bored as I have. By adding a horn and a saxaphone “section” to the requisite guitar, bass, ‘keyboards, and drums, the music has opened up. So it is that one can hear pieces reminiscent of Don Ellis’s band on Lunarpbtians, as well as the influence of Vince Guaraldi, the keyboards player, (musicon Peanut’s specials) on Milch0 Review. Each time one listens to the album, something new seems to jump out at you-it seems there must be something from, and for, everyone throughout the arrangements. Of course, Billy Cobham’s drums stand out, the rhythms flowing and changing in a never ending continuum. But oddly enough, his poorest contribution to the album, is a solo effort on Last Frontier, where one would expect the opposite. John Abercrombie adds the frills and electricity on guitar, but he mixes extremely well with the rest of the band, adding much to the totality of it. The presence of Randy Brecher (trum et and flugelhom) and Glenn Ferris (trombone) is a b Pessing, as their few solos prove to be the high points of the record. I should add, that apart from the scratch caused by a loose piece of vinyl in the cover, this record is surpris-

and welcome ’ to my nightmare Welcome To My Nightmare is Alice Cooper’s, (The man, not the band), first solo album. That is, the first album that he has done outside of the five man band that rose from-obscurity with Pretties For You, (a production that Frank Zappa helped put together), to a height of teenage popularity with their many “shock rock” theme shows. Their first breakthrough came with an album titled Love It To Death which included the songs “I’m Eighteen” and “Ballad of Dwight Fry”. It was also at this point when the band began to act out the songs on stage, Cooper putting himself into a straight jacket and other such devices. This was to lead into performing with his pet snake, decapitating manikins and hanging himself on stage. It all sold VCXY well, as can be seen in the record sales and box office receipts amassed by Alice Cooper. The last album of new music, Muscle of Love, was released almost a year and a half ago but was never followed by a tour. This resulted in a drop in popularity of the band. It seems that during that time the only news about the band were pieces on how Alice had become disheartened with the personnel and subsequently was putting together a solo album, and a tour, with new backup people. It should be mentioned that a Greatest Hits album was released last summer, but at best this only marked the end of the old Alice Cooper and the beginning of a different Cooper. I don’t know where the old band has gone since Alice left them however I’m sure that some people, (producer Bob Ezrin for one, and Alice another), are happy to see them gone. Apparently they were “hard to work with” and lacked a certain desirable ‘ ‘professionalism. ’’ Now, on to the solo Alice Cooper and Welcome To My Nightmare. He has put together a new tour by the same title, and by the time this paper reaches you it will have been at Toronto’s Maple Leaf Gardens on May 2. Also on April 25 there was a television special by the same name. Since both events occured before this issue of the chevron I’ll just hope that anyone interested was able to take in one or both shows. The album is produced by Toronto’s Bob Ezrin, a pretty talented man who’s records include Lou Reed’s Berlin and some earlier Alice Cooper. He is now also working with Procul Harum, in an attempt to bring this band up to the status that they deserve. Ezrin is a man to be respected and his musical expertise can be heard on Welcome To My Nightmare. AS stated before Cooper is backed by a band of totally new musicians, people who ‘have never appeared on previous Alice-Cooper albums. The talent of these people is certainly not in question, for this is the most musically complex album that Cooper has ever released. It is also the best music that he has ever put together. The music includes some genuinely good guitar work, drumming and keyboards. It also introduces some new sounds for Cooper, such as synthesizers, a harmonium and even a harpsichord. The use of effects such as echo, fuzz boxes and phasing of the sound is done with skill and taste. Alice

himself shows better voice control than previously, adding another new dimension to his music. It is an area that needed improvement and he seems to recognize this. The result is a much improved sound. It is a music encompassing a wide variety of sounds and styles. For example, the typical Alice Cooper “bizarre” sound is found on cuts like “Devil’s Food and Black Widow.” A rock sound comes out on “Some Folks, Cold Ethyl and Escape”, while a cut titled “Only Women Bleed” is a slow moving ballad. The whole second side appears to be a story about a youth named Steven. However if you are looking for a readable story that may be impossible. The songs are tied together either because they are talking about Steven, and his generation, or else Steven is doing the talking. After that little sense can be made out of the lyrics.. Alice Cooper has his hand in writing each of the songs, yet none of them are written solely by him. For example, Bob Ezrin takes partial credit on 7 out of 11 cuts. A guitarist, Dick Wagner, has a similar record for-co-writing the songs on this album. Of particular interest is the cut “Devil’s Food” which is written by Cooper, Ezrin, and of all people, Kelly Jay, 1 of crowbar fame. Other surprises include backup vocals by The Summerhill Children’s Choir, a very pleasant addition to the changing Alice Cooper. Even more surprisingis the narration by Vincent Price, who is billed as a “Special Guest Star.” His purpose is to give us a tour through a menagerie of poisonous insects, climaxing at the Black Widow spider. It is hard to say why he did this piece, but perhaps Vincent simply needed a job. Anyway this is one piece of the album which didn’t appeal to me. A final point to note is the fact that part of this album was-recorded at Toronto’s Soundstage studio. This explains why this city has seen so much of Alice Cooper lately. Perhaps Toronto has a chance to establish high quality studios, now that some respected people have begun to use these facilities. Alice Cooper, and Welcome To My

Nightmare, is still in the, ‘ ‘for special tastes only”, category however, this album is his best yet and is one that shows major musical improvements. Certainly his total concept has not radically changed, but at least he has improved his integrity as a writer and a musician. -bill

in ihe heavy traffic Despite numerous personnel changes and the resulting lack of cohesiveness among the members of the band, Traffic continues to release consistently excellent and unique compositions. The original band (Winwood, Capaldi, Wood and Mason) was formed in 1967 and produced three albums before disbanding in 1968 to pursue individual aspirations. The music contained in these three albums is some of the very best to emerge from the late sixties. After a few years of musical frustration, Winwood, Capaldi and Wood reunited to compose a most rewarding album, John Barleycorn Must- Die. Four more albums were produced while the band was unders going constant changes in its membership, which included adding a couple of Muscle Shoals session men and Reebop Xwaku i Baah on congas. For various personal reasons the band returned to a four-man group which was made up’of the original three remaining members and Jamaican bassist Roscoe Gee. It is with this new lineup that Traffic introduces its tenth album, When the Eagle Fiies.

The reduction in the band’s size to four men has in no way impaired the group’s creative abilities, although some obvious changes in sound and direction have taken

-place. An increased emphasis -on Winwood’s keyboards is apparent, and on the piano and mellotron in particular. The mellowing smoothness of Gee’s bass nicely complements the restrained vitality of Wood’s excellent horns. The band has achieved a genuinely relaxed freshness without losing its roots. The quality of When the Eagle Flies slips ~ slightly around the tune “Memories of a Rock and Rolla”. The lyrics are rather banal and uninspiring, but the tune is saved by Winwood’s excellent vocal and a jazzy upswing at the end. Without a doubt the best track on the album has to be “Dream Gerrard”, written by Winwood in conjunction with Viv Stanshall. In it are captured the dream-like gestures which epitomize the moodiness which Traffic has managed to sustain throughout its existence. The tune smoothly maneuvers through interwoven circles, and Gee’s satin bass is particularly fine. The mood of the album is somewhat vindicative, but optimistic undertones arise as each song builds to an encouraging and hopeful conclusion. Chris Wood comments : “Our attitude has changed back to the way it was when we were making our first two Traffic albums. We, or at least I,

haven’t been satisfied with anything since then, except perhaps John Barleycom. Sometimes now, I’ve got the feeling that things won’t last much longer, but more often I think that we’ll go on for quite some time . . .” The best thing about Jim Capaldi’s second solo album Whale Meat Again is the skill displayed by the musicians he has gathered together. Several Muscle Shoals session men, including Roger Hawkins and David Hood who played with Traffic for some time ) contribute excellent musical talent to embellish Capaldi’s somewhat weak lyrics and vocals. Jimmy Johnson and Barry Becket are, extremely good on lead guitar and piano,and the Muscle Shoals Horns provide a solid backing as well. The title tune sounds like something from Lennon’s Imagine album, and its didactic lyrics, like those of most of the songs on the album, do not warrant printed inclusion. If you can disregard the weak lyrics and ignore a very sexist cover poem, you will find the excellent music provided by the backup band well worth the trouble. krian

outfit, have turned against Bourassa.’ Editor-publisher Roger Lemlin, author of “The Plouffe Family”, let loose with an unusual front page editorial, treating the Premier in terms similar to those directed at Saigon’s President Thieu in his final days. In the midst of all this shelling, the Liberal party of Quebec is holding a series of regional and party conferences devoted to the theme of “The Family”. Yes, the family. Unfortunately, most Liberal militants seemed more preoccupied with the party’s image an.d demanded to know when all the + “enquetes” were going to stop. The premier and his various cabinet ministers invariably reply that “the Quebec govemment is the only government in Canada that investigates itself,” citing this as proof of its basic honesty. At a recent party conference in La Mauricie, the region around Trois Rivieres, Liberal militants demanded that all inquiries be held behind closed doors. Another complained that “at the moment we have a Justice Minister who treats us all like bandits. ’ ’ The new Liberal party president Claude Desrosiers, who now says he won’t seek a second term, said that maybe the Liberal party was a bit “masochist” but ‘ ‘since we are involved, and if we call them (the inves. tigators) to order, the population will say we are trying to hide something.” Another militant, according to a story in Le Devoir, complained about the comportment of the members of the National Assembly in Quebec City, referring not just to their ethics; quite simply, some of them are a disgrace even to the Liberal party. Creditiste leader Fabien Roy blames it on alcohol and on several occasions asked that the bar in the parliamentary cafe be closed. The Liberals, with lOOout of 110 members, have a lot of backbenchers who don’t have much to do except get into deals and drink. During the Official Language Bill debate, for instance, one Liberal backbencher, red faced and shouting, fell to the floor when he missed his seat. All this has combined to create a political vacuum in Quebec, a vacuum which numerous people and political groups are manoeuvring to fill. Bourassa himself is a consummate politician, in spite of appearances, and. a man who has grown to enjoy political power. A recent visitor to Bourassa reports that the premier feels he is being isolated, attacked from all sides and that the people are turning against him. He told the visitor that the only thing left for him is ‘ ‘une fuite en avant, ’ ’ meaning literally a flight in advance, or that he has to take new initiatives to keep a few steps ahead of his political enemies. He hinted that this might take the form of some new constitutional fight with Ottawa. Some observers in Quebec feel that he may embark on a constitutional confrontation in order later to opt for some form of Quebec autonomy, in a desperate attempt to cut the Parti Quebecois off at the pass. There are reports that the premier and P.rime Minister Trudeau met recently in Montreal and that the latter outlined his hope to bring a new constitution to Canada before he’s finished with federal politics, one of his dreams for posterity. Apparently, according to these reports, Bourassa turned down Trudeau’s proposal and the prime minister blew up. They parted company in a huff, or perhaps huffs is a better term. This meeting was followed by various forays of federal ministers such as Pelletier and Marchand into Quebec talking about, a ,

“crisis of leadership” in the province. There were rumours that the federal Liberals were seeking ways of deposing Bourassa and pushing somebody more acceptable, like Marc Lalonde, as Quebec Liberal leader. Meanwhile, some Quebec cabinet mimsters appear to be preparing for the future. Finance Minister Raymond Garneau, who recently brought down a new budget featuring popular tax cuts, made some peculiar remarks during the debate on the Speech from the Throne. He was full of praise for Paul Desrochers, talking about his having rendered great service. to the collectivity. This could be interpreted as him feeling there’s a leadership race coming up. -Francois Cloutier, the education minister and the man who presented Bill 22, during the same debate praised Canada’s, bilingual efforts. It is said he’s angling for the Canadian Ambassadorship .to France, to be closer to his chateau in Issertieux. It seems he wants out of politics and wants to live in France and retire to the little French village where he’s known as Le Chatelain d’Issertieux and is a big wheel along with his buddy, the local Gaullist deputy. However, there are rumours Gerard Pelletier is after the same job. Cloutier may have to settle for becom&g Quebec delegategeneral in Paris. At the same time, there’s a new crop of Wagner rumours” afloat in the province, Wagner wants the Conservative party leadership after Stanfield leaves, but is said to be worried about Alberta’s Premier Lougheed, who’s busily taking one-houra-day French courses. He feels that he may not be able to beat Lougheed, if the sheik decides to run. I In a recent trip through Quebec, Wagner also spoke about a crisis of leadership in the province. A reporter asked him: ‘ ‘What about Bourassa?” and Wagner replied: “I was speaking about leaders .” Wagner claimed the province was adrift. When he spoke at the Canadian Credit Institute in Montreal, it was vintage Wagner, as he was before he shed his crew cut and opted for a Kennedy image. “The family,” he said, “along with respect for others, respect for laws, work, discipline and what else have become folklore . . .we have a dehumanized society where moral ambivalence reigns and in whit h efficiency has become a God at the cost of the most damnable sacrifices, including immorality and amorality. ’ ’ He made it clear he was referring to Quebec in particular.’ Maurice Bellemare, leader of the nearly defunct Union Nationale party is reported to have offered Wagner the UN leadership on a platter, in the hopes of launching an alliance and a new party composed of UN, Creditiste and Conservative elements. Should Wagner attempt to seek some provincial mandate, or even if he decides to go for the federal Tory leaders hip, his slogan will be “Peace, Order and Justice-there is no peace without order, no order without justice. ” The Creditistes remain in disarray. Fabien Roy, one of their two MNA’s, apparently now leans toward the Bellemare proposed coalition, mainly because his arch rival Camil Samson, the other Sacred MNA, is making off with the party. Yvon Dupuis’ Parti Presidentiel is going nowhere, while former Creditiste president Armand Bois has founded a new party called the Parti Reformateur. Quebec Cre- 1 ditistes now have more factions and options than Italian Maoists. That leaves the P*which is what alot of people are saying all the time.
