brief charges
>-ided on The Federation of Students charges in a brief that the Ontario government is misinforming the public about the issue of university accessibility for students. The brief, prepared by former federation president Andy Telegdi, says that the government is confusing the public when it calls for tighter admission standards on the one hand, and;on the other, states that students from high school are better qualified than they were 10 years ago .’ “Various sources seem to indicate that government is going to be thinking about taking a more restrictive meaning to the phrase ‘ac-
cessibility for all qualified applicants’,” the brief warns. Many university and provincial officials have blamed the present high school system for not providing a consistent standard of measurement on which to base admission to university, the brief states. These same officials have urged the implementation of admission tests to better judge the capability of prospective university students, the brief says. However, such assertions “should be balanced with statements expressed by Thomas Wells, the minister of education, when he spoke about the alleged illiteracy and ignorance of high school students:

Students also shouldn’t back the Liberal party as it has stated that Ontario universities will have to economize, eliminate inefficiencies and assume a more modest pdsition in the province’s spending priorities, he added _ OFS plans to stage a mass rally in Toronto sometime in October, if _.there’s a fall election, and in the meantime will work on enumerating students, Shortall said. Shortall said he failed to convince OFS to support the NDP at the Hamilton conference as the majority of the membership felt that individual campuses should be allowed to make their own decisions regarding endorsements of candidates. The final resolution passed at the conference encourages the membership to “circulate unambiguous

, Federation will ask students to vote NDP UW students will be asked to vote NDP in the anticipated provincial election this fall, Federation of Students president John Shortall said Monday. Shortall, also an executive ofthe Ontario Federation of Students (OFS), said -as far as he’s concerned the NDP is the party that currently offers students the “best deal” in post-secondary educationHe was interviewed following an OFS meeting held last weekend in Hamilton to discuss strategy for the upcoming Ontario election. “The education policy of the NDP is very similar to OFS’s,” Shortall stated. The NDP has endorsed OFS’s demands that tuition fees at Ontario3 15 universities and 22 commtinity colleges be abolished and that students be provided with living stipends, Shortall said. He said that students shouldn’t support the Progressive Conserva-

The federation brief also expressed its concern over “statements coming from government officials whereby the students should pay a greater cost of their education than the taxpayer.” ’ If such a situation were to occur, I.< then tuition fees would have to cover more than 50 per cent of the cost of education, “which would mean a range in tuition fees of $1,055.50 to $6,333 depending upon the course of study.” Moreover, “increasing tuition fees would have to mean a corresponding increase in the Ontario Student Assistance Program (OS.AP),” the brief points out. “Since the universities don’t get OSAP it could create a cumbersome situation whereby tuition would go up and the set level of OSAP would be inadequate.” The brief warns against “allowing universities to set their own tuition fees” as a pniversity could conceivably increase tuition for its strongest programs while leaving its weakest programs at ‘a lower rate. “It would seem reasonable to assume that universities would increase tuition only for strong programs since the program in all probability would be oversubscribed and universities that are weak in similar programs would not increase their tuition and thereby, would be offering a financial incentive versus a quality incentive to prospective applicants. ” The end result of such a development would be a “two university system” with one level being of high quality and the other of lower. “There is also the prospect that students will have their accessibility to good programs determined not by their academic skills but rather by their ability to pay higher tuition fees ,” the brief concludes. -joh<morris

7974 called~ ‘historic “1974 was an historic year in which the native peoples said to the Canadian people that enough is enough. In Kenora they picked up arms and in Cache Creek too.” So said Vem Harper, a Metis leader and member of the Toronto Warriors Society, in a meeting held at the Kitchener Public Library last Tuesday evening. Speaking of the numerous confrontations which took place last year and of the final clash on Parliament Hill, Harper saw among na-
tive people the growth of a consciousness of “belonging to a single nation rather than to different tribes. ’ ’ A participant in the riot in Ottawa, Harper said: “I find it ironic that the government said that they wouldn’t negotiate out of the barrel of a gun yet it was us who was under the barrel of the gun in Ottawa.” Harper said that the government preferred to deal only with the traditional and established Indian

If you are attacked you have a right to defend yourself. It is this right which at least two East Indian communities are prepared to exercise in the face of escalating racist attacks. That was the decision made last Sunday by the Toronto East Indian community when the East Indian Defense Committee (EIDC), originally founded in Vancouver in 1973, established its Toronto chapter. About 600 people including representatives of thirty organizations turned up at the Harbord Collegiate to express their support. President of the EIDC, Sardar Bela Singh Thandi, said that the committee was established to “defend the homes, houses and lives of members of the East Indian community.” He also expressed confidence that the youths will defend their neonle against racist attack. The EIDC giew out of an ad hoc committee set up in 1968, explained

Some of the new groups which have emerged in the past few years, however, are making...,demands -especially, those over land use and control-which are threating Ottawa technocrats. Referring in this context specifically to the different “warrior societies”, Harper noted that within Indian traditions, “warrior societies always emerge in times of oppression.” Also shown at the meeting was “‘The Other Side of the Ledger”, a film tracing the historical relationship between the Hudsons Bay Company and native peoples -particularily in the three prairie provinces. The ill effects of the relationship upon the economic and cultural base of the native peoples was shown to still exist w-ith the “bay’s” v,,irtual monopoly of food and ,other commodity distribution and over the general exchange of com_ _ in many northern munities. ( Harper warned the group that the prediction made by one bureaucrat in the Indian Affairs department of a long, hot summer ahead was accurate. “We’re .going to try and make it as hot as possible for them,” he said. -doug ward

the secretary Harbhajan Singh Cheema, but he said it was officially founded on Nov. 24, 1973; following large scale racist attacks on East Indian children. Having organized themselves, Cheema said, the attacks stopped. But a second wave began during late 1974 and early 1975, said Cheema, and he pointed out that this wave coincided with the economic crisis. What became increasingly apparent from the speeches of the East Indians and their supporters is that they believe the government is trying to whip up racist hysteria in the country in an effort to divert the Canadian people from the problems of inflations and increasing s lay-offs. It was also pointed out that the government singles out the ‘East Indian, Pakistani, and Caribbean immigrants in its Green Paper on Immigration and Population and blames this tiny percentage of the Canadian population for such problems as shortages in housing, lack of jobs and even pollution. Almost all the speakers made it quite clear that they believe that these problems to be the result of Canada’s monopoly capitalist system and US imperialism. One speaker from the Pakistani community said the government’s Green Paper was only the Western Guard ‘s fascist propaganda formalized. The case against the government continued with East Indian speakers emphasizing that the police. have refused to defend them. There were many accusations that victims of racist attacks have been told by the police that “it was their own fault” and that “it was only the beginning’ ’. Louis Cameron, leader of the Ojibway Warrior Society, said that the national minorities and the working class must unite and fight the ruling class in Canada and the United States. The native Indians+ like the East Indians, have been subjecte.d to propaganda campaigns from the ruling class, he said “they talk of the alcoholism problem-and that we can’t get our people together-but our people \ are beginning to see that the federal government is our problem.” Cameron said to the EIDC that if they (the racists) kick, kick them back; if they shoot, shoot them too.” Another Indian leader, Wayne Stonechild, a band counsellor from Saskatchewan, suggested that just as the racist attacks on the East

A panel discussion on “Women and the Novel” he/d May 3 7 at Ryerson featured Cermaine Creer. The program was part-of a special series of woien’s events to be presented at Ryerson’s jorgenson /-/a//. The discussion centred \ around the social and economic problems of female writers and the image of women usually portrayed in novels. It was noted that women are common/y portraykd as weak and insignifigant and that female authors are discriminated against. Creer commented that events are rarely presented from a female point of view and even more rarely by a female writer. The session was taped and will be presented as a special feature on Radio Waterloo in the near future.

Indians have coincided with the Greenpaper, so in 1969, when the government released a White Paper “designed to exterminate the Indian problem within 25 years”, racist attacks against the Indians esI calated. Martin Bracey, a black Canadian communist gaoled in 1969 for his part in the Sir George Williams University sit in; said that there is a lesson “that lies in the experience of the EIDC for other national minority communities. ” He said “we must prepare to defend ourselves ,” but warned that “without organization and training, all talk of defending ourselves is just hot wind.” For those with any doubt that the Canadian government is capable of ’ racism, a review of Canadian immigration history,was given citing a’ long list of government policies which discriminated ‘against the Chinese, the East Indians and others. If the East Indians are again being subjected to racism-and there is little doubt that they are, as why else would the average East Indian join a defense committee?-then there are plenty of people willing to support them in their defense. They include native Indians, communists, socialists, Christians and the many people from a host of nationalities represented at the meeting on Sunday. Paul Copeland, a Toronto . lawyer, was also present to congratulate the EIDC Toronto Chapter on its founding. Many other iawyers sent messages of suppO.rt. The main speaker of the evening was Dr. Marimbe of the Zimbabwe Africans National Union (,ZANU) who spoke of their struggle to liberate their land from the Ian Smith regime. He pledged ZANU’s sup- ’ port of the EIDC and said; “by helping people in struggle anywhere, we are in fact helping ourse,, lves .” Marimbe talked of international solidarity against international capitalism and racism. He said that he was particularly pleased to speak before such a cosmopolitan gathering, in particular he expressed empathy with the native In: dians. He said Zimbabwe people and the native Indians have suffered from the same violation of their human rights. Thus Marimbe said he was “pleased to be part of this international gathering involved in the struggle against international racism.” -neil

Dispute goes to arbitrtition The seven month dispute between Renison College and social science prof Jeff Forest will be arbitrated by David Johnston, dean of the University of Western Ontario law faculty. The arbitration procedures begin June 8 at Renison and according to the lawyer-for the college, the hearing could last up to 10 days. Renison may call 30 witnesses in support of its dismissal of Forest, fired Oct. 3 1, 1974, along with academic dean Hugh Miller. Miller has since negotiated his own settlement with the college. Renison argues that it was within its legal right to dismiss Forest, while he contends he was ‘improperly dismissed. The arbitration hearing will also cover what severance allowance will be made should Forest not be allowed to return to teach.

The jail administrate responded by locking yp all the prisoners in the cei Meanwhile a prisoner is being dragged downsta to the hole, solitary confinement, and the guards 2 overheard as saying: “I had to punch this guy in t head to get him out of his cell.” This just fills you on background as to what was happening in the jz The guy was put on a restricted diet as punishmer The prisoners were asking for a glass of water a so the guards turned the fire hoses on them. T prison&-s were yelling and screaming from the pa of the spouting water under pressure. The inma said they left the fire hose on for fifteen to twen minutes. The prisoners were given a mattress ani blanket and were then supposed to stay in their cell
Could you detail the objections-?

Robertson: For the last twenty years every grand jury condemned the jail on one ground or another. We have to understand the grand jury system. It’s not a really effective public watchdog- over lockups. For instance the grand jury will be instructed in its duties by the county sheriff and then within two weeks they must submit a report on the lockups in the Kitchener area. Whether or not a jury of lay people just picked from the jury rolls can adequately document the conditions of the jail facilities is highly questionable. But what they did rescond to was the bad physical plant of the Kitchener jail. Comments usually ranged from the poor plumbing facilities to inadequate space to the loud level of noise, poor sanitary facilities in the kitchen, lack of recreation facilities, and the lack of library facilities. So these complaints about the physical plant were a starting point for OPIRG. The grand jury commented that the place was a’black hole of Calcutta. But most of the complaints are just on the physical plant because they have never had any time to examine records or documents, or to receive statements from inmates.

It was built over 120 years ago. Renovations have taken place over the years, but never renovations that are adequate. But again all that is just focusing on the physical plant. That is only a starting point. R&e&on:

And so you have an action like this taking Glac and we’re receiving a letter from Potter whitewasi ing the whole system, everything is fine ! Again ths hints at need for much more public accountability c jails as public institutions and of course that’ OPIRG’s interest in the local jail. How do we make the jail more accountable? Ifit’ an institution removed from the community t&n will take on a life of its own. It will set up its ow rules and regulations. Prisoners’ rights are COI stantly being violated there since it is so isolate from the public ‘eye. Then atrocities do happen. DQes OPIRG have any suggestions how the problem could be alleviated?

Chevron: How did OPIRG first become involved - with the provincial jail issue? _ David Robertson: The way we get involved in a lot of projects is by first recognizing it as a public issue that needs investigating. Then we’ll consider picking it up and doing some &search into it and deciding if it warrants further action. Specifically with the Kitchener jail, one student who had stayed in the prison came to us and told us about the conditions he had experienced; So OPIRG undertook some research into conditions at the Kitchenerjail and we decided, yes, it was becoming much more of a public issue. We found grand jury reports were consistently noting intolerable conditions in the jail.

The Ontario Public Interest Research Group (OPIRG) after receiving a complaint from_ a -Waterloo student undertook a thorough investigation into conditions at the Kitchener provinci@ jail. The jail is locqted behind the county courthouse at the corner of Weber and Frederick streets and was built in 1852. The jail is consistently overcrowded and few major renovations have been made to the structure since nineteenth century. The jail stands as a reminder to us just how much misery our society inflicts on so &lled criminals. The following is an interview with David Robertson, the OPIRG research co-ordinator who cohducted much of OPIRG’s research into the Kitchener Jail \ issue.

David Robertson: As a case example for us to see how the review procedure works, we approached the ministry with our complaints and they sent in one of their inspectors and in a lengthy two hour session he took a statement from the student, who then had to sign the statement. _~ -. At the time we asked if we could havea copy of it and the inspector said we had to put in a request to the ministry. We received the statement after-much hassle with the miniStry. We wanted to document some of the conditions. We listed some of the criticisims of the physical - -plant: the poor plumbing, the toilets that do not work, and then we got into the interactibnal and the , situational dynamics of prison life, that is the harrassment of the inmates by the guards and their deliberate head games; frustrating the inmates by refusing all their requests. -

It gets us to the problem of, wha level do we operate? It leads us into the whole prok lem as to what is crime? That raises a lot of issues of unemployment, c inadequate working conditions and that gets yo into a whole macroscopic understanding of the SC cial order. We must understand where crime de velops from. Who are the people who are in prison By and large they are not from the upper middll classes. They are usually low& class people.So yol can begin to analyse and that gets you into thinkin, of revamping the whole penal system. However that’s much more-long term. The immediate needs are those of the prisoners i! the Kitchener jail who will be there tommorow an must be somehow protected. Originally the way WI saw that sort of protection was to liire a full-timI ombudsman who wotild work in the jail, but not bt responsible to jail officials; that is to have a publit watchdog there. That way it wouldn’t be a matter of redressin, grievances, but with a watchdog there the situation would change. Hopefully there would no-longer bL any grievances. It’d be less likely that the guard would no longer play their little games. But, I think it is somewhat of an idealistic notiol that we can get an ombudsman in the jail, especiall:

:n the province has turned around and hired a vincial ombudsman who will in no way meet the ds of Kitchener inmates. Somehow it puts a :k in the possibility of getting a jail ombudsman. o the way we have begun to rethink this is by lg through the legislation and try to advocate a .onal ombudsman. Then there would be a reg31 ombudsman to handle functions of govemIt, including the local institutions. nd.to somehow make that person a much more ve investigator, not someone who sits in the ce waiting for letters to come to that person. For ante the government has just passed a new act, public investigation of public institutions act, ch replaces our whole grand jury system of intigation. It is totally inadequate for the purpose Jublic watchdogging. 1 won: Why is it inadequate? Twice a year a panel of lay people instructed in open court by a judge of their es. Then they have to investigate conditions in jail within a period of two weeks. Most impor?the jail officials are going to know when they’re --iing. ne inmate said: “You know when the grand jury Iming, everything is being cleaned so it will look : because the grand jury is coming in.” The on officials will know when they are coming and welcome them and will talk to them. That shows I it would be an advantage having an ombudsman -e all the time. is a possibility if we move to a regional omsman system we make part of the ombudsman’s )onsibility to travel with the lay panel through the So you get the ombudsman out of the office and \ the lockups to investigate. lsewhere in Canada where there has been an Judsman that person has also had to announce :never he plans to inspect. Well again that is crous, it’s like the meat inspectors. So therefore ; person must be able to go in unannounced. id Robertson:

In the brief is documentation that r since the jail was built it was’under the county ncil and the council totally neglected the jail and egged on its responsibilities to the jail. Whenever -e was an item to be cut it was always the jail that cut first. ‘he council haggled for years over minor renovas. They really wanted nothing to do with the jail, they let it deteriorate, physically and psychologly and of course socially. Then in 1968 the pro:ial government took it over and I don’t think it’s n that much better. o what we’re trying to do is although we do talk ut the physical plant and we want to focus in on :r issues. 1e are focusing on documenting the grievances prisoners have. We want to focus on the guard ning system which is-totally inadequate. It seems le a system where you learn from the guards who e been around. They call them the old bulls. The rds have set up a relationship with the guards ch is totally unproductive. think its important to mention that sixty to sety per cent of the inmates in Kitchener jail have been convicted. Most of them are pending sen:e and have not been convicted. nd yet in our letter form Potter this is a high /

security prison and has to remain so, in the public interest and be maintained as such. Well how is it high security when you have the majority of the people legally still innocent and although they are still innocent they have to go through the Kitchener jail. One prisoner who was on tranquillizers prior to going into the jail was given tranquillizers right up until the day of trial. Then they took hi-moff tranquillizers and into court, all nervous and jittery. Then when he was taken out of court he was put on tranquillizers . What were the guards and medical doctor trying to do? Psyche this guy out for court? So there are a lot of grievances about the medical treatment where regulation are not being followed. We want to talk to the provincial cabinet about these grievances and document them. We’ll talk about the inadequacy of the grand jury system as it presently stands for public investigation. We will point to the inadequacy of the new Public Investigations Act because it fails in alot of important areas. % The major issue we will raise is public accessability to institutions like the jail. They are publicly financed but it seems that correction authorities have forgotten they are public employees and they are insisting on operating under a cloak of secrecy. We know -prisons are in no way rehabilitative units. Eighty per cent of prisoners return to jail again. One way we can understand that is by understanding how people operate, not in the flowery ideology of ministry statements. But in the day-to-day practice of jail officials. The way we do that is by conducting these specific/investigations. Violations ap- pear to be the rule, not the exception. Even if they are only minor violations or infringements of human rights. But it is the ethic of the environment of custody to create that. We wish to make a proposal to affect this ombudsman that the province has just appointed. The legislation we have analyzed from across Canada is r again totally inadequate. Again the ombudsman has ,a housekeeping function, not house cleaning. If its going to be kept as an in-house function then it will not redress any grievances. We want to affect the Ontario legislation and make it more relevant, more substantial. Whether or not we can do that is totally up in the air. Our whole issue is we want to work at a number of levels to make jail officials more accountable. This will involve community groups already interested in prison reform. OPIRG will work with them to make I the jail more accountable.

If you would have liked to see Burt Reynolds tap-dance along with Cybill Shepherd, or heard them sing a duet, you would have had a good laugh. Just imagine it-Burt, .the sex-symbol of Hollywood and Cybill, the newly born star, (ha-ha) tapping and singing the tunes of Cole Porter in the musical, At Long Last Love, which played at the Odeon Hyland. With the appropriate personalities, this film would probably have carried through, but with the detriments of inadept casting and with the deficiency in the theme and plot, only Peter Bogdonovich, the three-in-one creator of this picture, could fully appreciate this production. Everybody knows that Bogdonavitch is trying to show the world that ‘a new star is born’ in his wife Cybili Shepherd. His attempts at proving this are just -a little too obvious. Just as in his last picture featuring Cybill, The Heartbreak Kid, he gives her the lead role and centres all the chicanery around her. Her incapacity as an actress permeates through the sensually

Most ,of the supporting cast can’t act-out or sing their roles either; this slightly alleviates the burden of inadequacy off Cybill Shepherd’s back. Good character portrayals came from John Hillerman and Eileen Brennan who play as the servants of the aristocratic millionaires of the 1930’s, played by Shepherd and Reynolds. Sun.

No-pest *do-people If Canada were faced bv a serious epidemic of malaria or yellow fever or even sleeping sickness, even a dispassionate balancing of the risks of Shell Oil’s vapona no-pest strip would not come-down in , favour of blanketing our homes with its twenty-four hour secretion of nerve gas. According to recent scientific reports it may well be causing mutations, altering our body chemistry and reducing breathing ability of people with severe lung disorders . Shell first marketed thq no-pest strip in Canada ten years ago claiming it was a clean, effective way to kill flies. The no-pest strip works on the ptinciple of continuously saturating the environment with a deadly nerve gas vapour which kills any creature that flies. Thanks to its deadly attributes the no-pest strip has suickly become the most popular fly killer ,on the market. It’s used in one in three Canadian households and in one quarter of all canadian hospitals. In the,United States a petition from the Health Research Group, .a non-profit public health body working in association with US Co,nsumer Union has sparked a full scale investigation by fhe Enviromental Protection Agency to deiermine the safety of the product. The petition alleges that no-pest strips cause cancer, and mutations, damage human breathing and nervous functions and cause nausea and malaise in sensitive persons.

The Toronto Warrior’s Society visit to Kitchener was organized by a collection of , groups and individuals including people from the Global Community Centre, the KW Metis and Non-Status Indian Association, and several other individuals, some of whom are associated with the some-what mythical “Fairview Collective”. Thus that legend slighted several groups and individuals. For that, we apologize. Secondly, the name “Fairview Collectivk” only has meaning within the context of a satire published in installments in the chevron earlier this year, co-authored by one of our local sectarian organizations.

However a World Health Organization report deter’minyd that the safe level of nerve gas was .a fifth of what Shell insisted it was. Shell argues ‘ ‘the vapona non-pest strip affects no physiological variables other than those which it affects, and that any affected parameters don’t matter”. However, the Health Research Group’s submission to the EPA draws different conclusions. The groups found that at ‘acceptable’ levels the bronchioles of the lung are narrowed by the contraction of their muscles or by mucous secretion, breathing becomes more difficult especially in cases of users having emphysema, asthma or are heavy smokers. A British research team reported “the likelihood must be extremely high that Vapona nerve gas is mutagenic in mammals’ ’ . However, Dr. Ian Walker, a chemist and an employee of Shell Oil insisted, “if we belieied that Vapona was a mutagen in mammalian systems we should have-had to think very- seriously about withdrawing it”. These and other reports are forcing the EPA to evaluate the safety of no-pest

This letter is ofcered in response to Andy Telegdi’s reported reference to the dominance of academics in the Waterloo North N.D.P. Riding Assoc. Of the fifteen members of the riding executive only three are “academics”, as opposed to four working members of the community and eight students here at the University. In the light of this information Andrew’s defeat would appear more a consequence of his failure to appeal “to a significant cross section of the party” than upon any efforts of a so-called *academic dominated executive to defeat him. ,Mike Jordan Bob Wilson Catherine Murray

The opening game in the Women’s Slow Pitch league took place on Monday evening and resulted in a 19-2 victory for the Kin Staff Team (The Elderberries) over , the 4th year Kin students. Fans were delighted to see the Elderberries hit the field in top form after their lengthy spring training. ‘Stretch’ Davis, noted for her long reach off first base seemed to - be able to cover even more distance
than usual, no doubt a result of her winter long dog training sessions. Another El.derberry , Fran Allard was at her best after having spent many hours on road work over the past year. The staffers had obviously been on the recruitment trail and picked up some’ younger elders to help them through some of the tough patches. The 4th year Kin students (Un Loaded Buses) were more than
ready for their first match but just couldn’t seem to find the openings in the Elderberry outfield. They do have a potentially strong team, however they may have to refrain from using Debbie Sitts as pitcher. Colleen Mannion may win the award as their most agile player after her Monday night performance. The second year Kin-team may be-the dark horses in the league this year. They were seen practicing Monday evening and it would appear they have enlisted the services of a certain male co-op student to coach. They still make their playing debute on Monday evening at 5:45 p.m. If there are any other women on campus who would like to play in this league please call Sally Kemp at 8851211, Ext. 3533.
