The slow death ’ I - *’ of t72tWury poisoning

While Kenora, Ontario, festers on the poison of racism, the native people are dying of the poison of, mercury. Two Japanese experts on Minamata disease-environmental mercury poisoning-say the situation at two reserves near,Kenora is grave and shocking. They found symptoms consistent with early mercury poisoning. Cats at White Dog and Grassy Narrows reserve are dying the same bizarre deaths as cats in Minamata and Niigata, Japan, before the disease showed up in humans a few years ago. . The Japanese experts termed the Canadian govermental officials supposedly involved with the mercury situation as “irresponsible, indifferent, and (they) know nothing about mercury at all.” So far, all the meaningful data collected on the subject in Canada has come not from government, but from concerned laymen. “If you don’t start action you will have a more serious result than we had,” Dr. Jun Ui, professor of urban engineering at the University of Tokyo, told a public meeting at the University of Toronto in late March. Dr. Masazumi Harada, of the University of Kumanmoto, and chief medical investigator of Minamata Disease in Japan, said, “The situation is very shocking. Please don’t repeat the mistakes we made in Japan.” Dr. Harada showed a film of Japanese cats writhing in uncontrollable spasms, or trying to walk on hind legs that wouldn’t respond. Many cats in that country dragged themselves to the sea and drowned themselves. Before the disease was dubbed Minamata Disease, people of that town called it “cat’s dancing disease.” Then he showed a film of a cat from the White Dog reserve. It was going through the same motions. After their investigations in the north, the two experts then spoke at the University of Toronto’s Medical Science Center along with Chief Andy Keewatin. They told the general public it should organize support to force the Canadian Government to release all its reports on mercury poisoning and to stop the companies from further pollution. Dr. Jun Ui said, “I think that in the Dryden (Kenora) area it is worse than it is in Japan. Here, there’s not as much mud and the mercury lies on top longer, while in Japan the mud covers it up and it’s coming out of the various river mouths.” Dr. Jun Ui told the audience, “If it were this bad in Japan, people would actually be taking matters into their own hands.” The two physicians were also shocked at the living conditions of the native people. “If people had to live like that inJapan,” they said, ‘ ‘they’d automatically rebel .” People can get mercury poisoning by eating the types of food in the area: fish, ducks, and even deer which drink the polluted water and eat the poisoned grass along the shore. The disease, which attacks the central nervous system, has no known cure. It makes people act something like a drunk. In 1956, when Minamata Bay in Japan was polluted with heavy metals, the people of Minamata took the struggle into their own hands and won an anti-pollution law which places the burden of proof on the company that it is not polluting. If the people can show they suffered harm, the company must pay 100% compensation, plus

100% of whatever it costs for them to clean it up. The two Japanese scientists pried out of Ottawa officials the information that a cat brought into the area and fed the same fish the native people eat developed Minamata disease within 100 days. The Canadian Government has said that the official results will not be released for 1.5 years. Dr. Ui said the pulp waste in Dryden was incredible in a country that had been described to him as a kind of paradise with green forests and blue lakes. He also expressed surbetprise in the ‘ ‘large difference ween the whites and the Indians, especially the miserable living conditions on the reserves.” And, he added, “all of us were surprised with the meeting with the Standing Committee for Mercury Pollution in Ottawa. Some members of the Government are irres: ponsible and indifferent in their attitude. Some know nothing of mercury at all.” In July, ten White Dog and Grassy Narrows people, at least some of whom are sure to have mercury poisoning, were brought to Tokyo by the Minamata Patients’ Federation, composed of\ Japanese people who are victims of the disease. There they will see medical experts-doctors who know something about the disease. Just a week before, Prof. Tadao from Takeuchi announced Kumamoto that brain specimens of two cats, one from each reserve, showed both cats had been poisoned. One of the cats had died with the classic symtoms of mercury poisoning, and the other cat was killed before the disease itself had finished it off. At the same time,Jhe governor of Kumamoto prefecture in which

Minamata lies added 15 more persons to the list of 723 known victims of the disease. 120 persons on the list have already died. Government experts have traced the source of the mercury in the affected English and Wabigoon River systems to the Dryden Chemical Company in its processes to supply the companion Dryden Pulp and Paper Co. mill. The company says it will be converting to a nonmercury system later this year “if the equipment comes in time.:’ However, it is inherent in mercury poisoning that the mercury will be in the water for generations to come, and people who already have the disease but who have not yet begun to show outward symptoms cannot be helped. Ian Ramsay, director of Environment’s Thunder Bay office, confirmed that the mercury in the bottom sludge is expected to be a problem “for nobody knows how long.” He thinks the Kenora ‘ ‘problem’ ’ is going to be a longer, stretched-out versipn of the Minamata tragedy. Dr. Peter Newberry, a retired Canadian Forces physician, has been at the reserves since last November. He tells of one 35-year-old man with high mercury readings, a man who once had hopes of playing professional hockey, who now has an uncontrollable quiver in his upper lip, difficulty pronoucing some words, and is unable to balance on one foot with his eyes closed. That is the beginning of the end. Grassy Narrows is just 50 miles from Kenora. It’s only commercial food supply is the Hudson’s Bay Company’s store, where food prices are about twice the rates in Kenora. A dozen eggs are $1.65, bacon $1.85 a slab pound, apples $2.35 for five pounds. The Indian Affairs Department had rejected a plea from Grassy Narrows for help in starting a non-profit cooperative store-the Department ruled such astore would be unfair competition for the Hudson’s Bay Co. The Ontario and Canadian governments continue to sidestep the issue. On April 30, the Ontario government offered the Indians community freezers and access to uncontaminated lakes so they may fish to stock the freezers. standard Recently, the don’t-eat-the-fish letters sent to residents of the two reserves were withdrawn. The universal advice now is not to eat the fish. Ontario Cabinet ministers, notably Health Minister Frank Miller, repeatedly told the Ontario Legislature last fall that “we told the Indians to stop eating the fish.” Actually, there were three letters -severely poisoned persons were told no more fish, while those lessseverely poisoned were advised to eat smaller fish, and to fish in waters with lower mercury counts. The politicians and their scientific hired hands were stiIl saying that they lacked proof that the mercury is damaging Indian health. “We are getting more cautious,” they concede. Besides, as Dr. Peter Connop, Thunder Bay zone director of the federal Health Ministry’s medical services branch says, “All the politics of the whole matter are very complicating factors. ’ ’ That includes efforts on the part of the government not to say anything that might further damage the tourist and sport-fishing industries of Ontario’s north, already taking lqsses in their profits from the temporary bans on fishing for food the Ontario Government issued in 1973. As a partial and temporary

measure, native people at Restigouche Reserve on the St. Lawrence River in eastern Quebec announced it would ship freshlycaught salmon to their relatives at White Dog and Grassy Narrows. All costs of the donated shipment were covered by the Micmac reserve. In return appreciation, the Ontario reserves sent wild rice to Res tigouche. Aileen M. Smith, who with her husband, W. Eugene Smith, one of the U.S.’ most famous news photographers, had documented the

Minamata disease, tells how she had talked to her friends in Japan about what was happening with the native people in Kenora. “They shake their heads. ‘Won’t we ever learn?’ they say. I wish the Canadians could hear Minamata patients speak of Canada as though it were just as close to them as any part of the Minamata area. I wish somehow that I could make those people in Canada feel the anguish in the eyes of the Minamata patients for the patients-to-be. ’’

ow- pove r tY Ever since the 78th century when Thomas Ma/thus drew his correlations between population growth and the development of resources and concluded that population would inevitably outstrip production, there has been an increasing interest in the nature of the relationship between overpopulation and poverty. In the foliowing article which appeared in Ramparts magazine Barry Commoner, director of the Center for the Biology of Natural Systems at Washington University, examines the problem of world population and concludes that overpopulatipn is the result rather than the cause of poverty on a national scale, and that it can on/y be remedied by “returning to the poor countries enough of the wealth taken from them to give their peoples both the reason and theresources voluntarily to limit their own fertility. ”

by Barry Commoner The world population problem is a bewildering mixture Df the simple and the complex, the clear and the confused. What is relatively simple and clear is that the population af the world is getting larger, and that this process cannot go on indefinitely because there are, after all, limits to the resources, Such as food, that are needed to sustain human life. Like all living things) people have an inherent tendency to multiply geometrically-that is, the more people there are the more people they tend to produce. In contrast, the supply of food rises more slowly, for unlike people it does not increase in proportion to the existing rate of food production. This is, of course, the familiar Malthusian relationship and leads to the conclusion that the population is certain eventually to outgro\j the food supply (and other needed resources), leading to famine and mass death unless some other countervailing force intervenes to ljmit population growth. One can argue about the jetails, but taken’as a general summary of the population problem, the foregoing statement is one which no environmentalist can sucCessfully dispute. When we turn from merely stating the problem to gnalyzing and attempting to solve it, the issue becomes nuch more complex. The simple statement that there is a imit to the growth of the human population, imposed on it ?y the inherent limits of the earth’s resources, is a useful 3ut abitract idea. In order to reduce it to the level of reality n which the problem must be solved, what is required is that we find the cause of the discrepancy between popdaion growth and the available resources. Current views on this question are neither simple nor unanimous. One view is that the cause of the population problem is uncontrolled fertility, the countervailing force-the death rate-having been w&ened by medical advances. Aczording to this view, given the freedom to do so people will inevitably produce children faster than the goods needed ;o support them. It follows, then, that the birthrate must be deliberately reduced to the point of “zero population yowth’ ’ . The .methods that have been proposed to achieve this sind of direct reduction in birthrate vary consid&rably. 4mong the ones-advanced in the past are: (a) providing 3eople with effective contraception and access to abortion Facilities and with education about the value of using them :i.e., family planning); (b) enforcing legal means to prevent couples from producing more than some standard number If children (“coercion”); (c) withholding of food fi-om the 3eople of starving developing countries which, having Tailed to limit their birthrate sufficiently, are deemed to be ;oo far gone or too unworthy to be saved (the -so-called ‘life-boat ethic”). It is appropriate here to illustrate these diverse apbroaches with examples”. The family planning approach is o well known as to need no further exemplification. As to he second of these approaches, one might cite the followng description of it by Kingsley Davis, a prominent denographer, which is quoted approvingly in a recent statenent by “The Environmental Fund” that is directed igainst the family planning position: “If people want to .ontrol population, it can be done with knowledge already Lvailable . . .For instance, a nation seeking to stabilize its copulation could shut off immigration and pemit each :ouple a maximum of two children, with possible license br a third. Accidental pregnancies beyond the limit would je interrupted by abortion. If a third child were born vithout a license, or a fourth, the mother would be

sterilized.” (Quoted from the Environmental Fund’s Statement “Declaration on Population and Food”; original in Daedalus, Fall, 1973). The author of the “lifeboat ethic” ii Garrett Hardin, who stated in a recent paper (presented in San Francisco at the 1974 annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science) that: “So long as nations multiply at different rates, survival requires that we adopt the ethic of the lifeboat. A lifeboat can hold only so many people. There are more than two billion wretched people in the world-ten times as many as in the United States. It is literally beyond our ability to save them all. . .Both international granaries and lax immigration policies must be rejected if we are to save something for our grandchildren.” Actually, this recent statement only cloaks, in the rubric of ari “ethic,” a more frankly political position taken earlier by Hardin: “Every day we (i.e., Americans) are a smaller minority. ‘We are increasing at only one percent a year; the rest of the world increases twice as fast. By the year 2000, one person-in 24 will be an American; iri one

hundred years only &ne in 46’. . .If the world is one great commons, in which all food is shared equally, then we are lost. Those who breed faster will replace the rest. . .In the absence of breeding control a policy of ‘one mouth one meal’ ultimately produces one totally miserable world. In a less than perfect world, the allocation of rights based on territory must be defended if a ruinous breeding race is to be avoided. It is unlikely that civilization and dignity-can survive everywhere; but bet& in a few places than in none. Fortunate minorities must act as the trustees of a civilization that is threatened by uninformed good intentions . ’ ’ (Science, Vol. 172, p. e1297; 1971). -

The Ouditv of Life

But there is anothe;view o&opulation which is much more complex. It is based on the evidence, amassed by demographers, that the birthrate is not only affected by biological factors, such as fertility and contraception, but by equally powerful social factors. Demographers have delineated a complex network of interactions among these social factors. This shows that population growth is not the consequence of a simple arithmetic relationship between birthrate and death rate. Instead, there are circular relationships in whidh, as in an ecological cycle, every step is connected to several others. Thus, while a reduced death rate does, of course, in-

crease. the rate of population growth, it can also have the opposite effect-since families usually ‘respond to a reducedI’rate of infant mortality by opting for fewer children. This negative feedback modulates the effect of a decreased death rate on population size. Similarly, although a rising population increases the demand on resources and thereby worsens the populatiop problem, it also stimulates economic activity. This, in turn, improves educational levels. As a result the average age at marriage tends to increase, culminating in a reduced birthrate-which mitigates the pressure on resources. In these processes, there is a powerful social force which, paradoxically, both reduces the death rate (and thereby stimulates population growth) and also leads people voluntarily to restrict the production of children (and thereby reduces population growth). That force, simply stated, is the quality of life-a high standard of living, a sense of well-being and of security in the ftiture. When and how the two opposite effects of this force are felt differs with the stages in a country’s economic developmenti In a pre-modern society, such as England before the inducttrial

revolution or India before the advent of the English, both death rates and birthrates were high, But they were in balance and population size was stable. Then, as agricultural and industrial production began to increase and living conditions improved, the death rate began to fall. With the birthrate remaining high the population rapidly increased in size. However, later, as living standards continued to improve, the decline in death rate persisted by the birthrate began to decline as well, reducing the rate of population growth. For example, at around 1800, Sweden had a high birthrate (about 33/1000), but since the death rate was equally high, the population was in balance. Then as agriculture and, later, industrial production advanced, the death rate dropped until, by the mid-nineteenth century, it stood at about 20/1000. Since the birthrate remained constant during that period of time, there was a large excess of births over deaths and the population increased rapidly. Then, however, the birthrate began to drop, gradualljl narrowing the gap until in the mid-twentieth century it reached about 14&00, when the death rate was about lO/lOOO. Thus, under the influence of a constantly rising standard of living the population moved, with time, from a position of balance at a high death rate to a new position of near-balance at a low death rate. But in between thti population increased considerably. continued on page 12

In the first final game, Baseburglars squeaked a win 2- 1 over Optometry forcing them into a second game due to the double elimination rule of the tourney-. The second game proved too much for the Baseburglars as they had already played 6 games and had to bring in a cold substitute pitcher for the rest of the game. Optometry, with a pitcher and power hitters had a big inning where they scored 8 straight runs being victorious over the Baseburglars. Congrats to all teams who entered and hope to see all teams next

Last year, University of Waterloo’s Varsity Football Club finished the season with a winning record of five wins and four losses. This year, with the nucleus of last year’s team back, head coach, Dereke Humpheries feels that this year’s team will be a first place contender. The team is far more experienced than last year’s, and many players have been playing throughout the summer with citysides.

friday,

September

19, 1975

For the past week, practices have been held to condition and train players in the fundamentals of the.game. These practices will continue throughout the rest of this week. Humpheries hopes that anyone who is interested in the game will attend the team practices. He emphasizes that the club has two teams, all positions are open and no previous experience is needed to make either of the teams. The Rugby Club is an independent club. The team known as the Warriors competes at the varsity level in the Ontario University Athletic Association (O.U.A.A.) against eight other Ontario University teams. To be eligible, players must meet the O.U.A.A. criteria. The second team, known as the ‘ Troj ans ’ , is composed of players who are not eligible for the O.U.A.A. or those players who need more game experience before they compete at the varsity level. Throughout the year, the club holds numerous social events that are set up by the club’s executive. This year, among other things, the team is planning a trip to the New Orleans Mardigras fifteen aside tournament. This year social memberships are being made available to men and women (rugger huggers !). Social convener, Frank Zinzer, is encouraging people to enquire about and participate in the lighter side of the club’s activities. If anyone would like further information about the club and its activities, they’re asked to contact Roger Downer ext. 3226 or Ken Brown ext. 2304 or go to Columbia Field, weekdays, between five and seven p.m., where practices are held. The first league game this year is against McMas ter University, last year’s Ontario University seven aside champions. It will be held Saturday September 20, at 2:OO p.m. on Columbia Field. This game promises to be exciting-hope to see you there !

the Disco *Kid

Main Course TheBeeGees’ RSO Records

‘,

The Bee Gees, those charming crooners of at least half of all the standard AM radio ballads written _ in the last eight years, recently found themselves faced with a rather large dilemma. While the onslaught of discotheques must have brightened the eyes ofnumerous music hopefuls, -the insis tent beat which characterizes disco music effectively eliminates the I tender lyric content which distinguishes the majority of theBee Gees repertoire. So, following a two year period in which the group failed to achieve any-success on either the singles or albums charts, the brothers decided to modify their sound, to hopefully capitalize on today’s latest music. craze; and however unsuitable the move may sound, it definitely works. Actually,%AIN ‘COURSE, the Bee Gees eleventh album, contains only, four outright disco-oriented cuts, wnd these surprisingly stand out-as the best songs on the LP. “Nights on Broadway,” the follow-up single to “Jive Talkin’ ,” opens the set with a heavy beat and some great singing from Barry, whocontinues to prove himself as a talented rock vocalist (listen to -1 “Down the Road” from their MR. NATURAL album) as well as an accomplished craftsman of we&sung ballads. The chorus is catchy, and ‘- although it breaks in the middle for ,a brief “change of pace, it remains very danceable. Of course, “Jive Talkin’ ,” their recent number one . single, contains all the elements of a successful disco tune, with Maurice’s pounding bass, Dennis Bryan’s constant drum beat which” is mixed much louder than most

non-disco material, and a repetitive but catchy melody. It could turn out to be the Top 40 dance record of ’ the year. It is “Wind of Change” however, and not “Jive Talkin’ ” which most obviously illustrates the Bee Gees’ new sound, opening with a patented Gloria Gaynor-like introduction which is recorded loud enough to make the listener momentarily rip off his headphones in deaf surprise. The song-is a perfect imitation of the popular “ahenation in the big city” theme, with lines such as: “Like me, there’s no room for us out there/You can lose your hope and pride/Whenit comes to broken dreams/You’ll get your share,” sung over a pounding beat and complimented with a strong sax solo from Joe Farrell. “FannryBe Tender With My Love)“, which closes out the first side, is less. a dabbling in disco than it is a standard Bee Gees ballad with a good beat. It manages to sound ,&h and full without any massive orchestral accompaniment, and it evokes the sound of prominently felt on “five Talkin’ ” the old Bee Gees with a slight twist. and “the light-hearted “Edge Of, It is the most instantly likeable tune the Universe” on which he effec- on the’ album. tively fills in any gap‘s which are inherent in most three-men bands.

Friday, June 20; 1975 I reviewed Lou Reed’s Live album. One of the stronger comments was that I felt this record to beindicative of what he was doing with his-music at that point in time. Since then I have discovered some facts which contradict this. Also Lou has released another album, Machine Metal Music, which further proves the original statement false. I would now lik% to set the facts straight, and apologize for the error. In the fast place, most of the band members on “Live” have now been ,,working with Alice Cooper since he began -his solo career with “Welcome To My Nightmare”. They have been recording and touring with Alice, ‘which makes it impossible for “Live” to have been a recent recording. For the record, these people are White Glan, Steve IIunter, Dick Wagner, (who has co-written over half of the songs on “Night* mare”), and Frakash John. This band on “Ltve” is also the same one that Lou Reed had for ‘ ‘Rock ‘11” Roll Animal”, his previous live album. Also, there are no songs on “Live” which date after “Rock ‘n’ Roll Animal”. The facts are that what Lou Reed did here was to take some two year old tapes off the shelf and press them into an album. The album gives’ so little in,formation that it is impossible for most people to see what has happened. Lastly is the point abo,ut “Machine Metal Music”, the dou-

ble album that Lou released in July’ 1975. Each side of this’album is the . same 16 minutes and 1 second long. In summary it is 64 minutes #and 4, seconds of the w,orst musical joke. that I have ever heard. It is an extreme condition of ego tripping; for, Lou admits, (only after the album has been opened), that most people ’ will not enjoy the “music”, \and that at the least he just made it for ’ h&$,elf to listen to. There are other instructions %hich describe how the music starts nowhere, goes nowhere, and after listening for only a few minutes it becomes obvious that the album is really nothing. What Lou has done isto combine ’ ‘- three different frequency ranges of sound, (low, medium and high), which come straight from an amplifier and mix together to form a twittering kind of electronic chatter. The closest comparison would be the noise that -comes from a short-wave radio, between sta. tions. In a sense1 understand--why he made the album, but I will never understand why he released it or why RCA record company allowed it to go out on the market. To wrap it all up I’m not sure anymore what music Lou Reed is into now. I don’t dare predict what he will do next, because he may have committed career suicide with these last two attempts. We’ll just ’ * have to wait and see. This sets the record straight for q. Lou Reed’s “Live”, and again apologies for the mistake. ’ - -bill mcrea

By Larry Gamer Unionization of engineers received its greatest impetus not during the Depression years but during the war years (1943-45). That is to say, it was not so much economic deprivation whicl+ led to large-scale unionization, but rather the .monumental change brought about by their employment on % mass basis in large warplants. The image the engineer had of himself (herself) as something approaching a “free professional” was inexorably deflated by the reality of having to punch in at the rime clock. Much of the unionizing effort was aimed, however, at recouping &he loss of profe<sional status arid recognition entailed by this change. In many instances, engineering unions were formed during the post-war ye;trs in order to prevent the inclusion of engineers in bargaining units dominated by “non-professional” employees. On the other hand, the gains won by production workers through union action were o&en the catalyst that spurred on engineers to organize (in m, in order to maindn the wage differential between the two groups). Despite these features of engineers’ unionization which makes it appear a purely defensive maneuver (to define and protect their distinct professional status), basic structural transformations in industrial work processes were moving engineers in the direction of Unionization. First of all, work was increasingly’ organized by groups or teams of engineers, so that the concept of rewarding individuals for their personal achievements had less and less real mean&g. Second, the pressure to spe&Iize ever more nmowly left the engineer open to the possibility of being pigeon-bole&n a slot which, with a change in technology, would make his specialization obsolek. Third, job insecurity became a built-in char&teristi~ of the engineer’s work by virtue of the fact that their employment on a mass scale was premised on the continued existence of government cc@racts. In 1947, as a result of heavy lobyi‘ng by professional engineering societies, the Taft-Hartley Act was amended (section 9 b 1) to allow engineers to exclude themselves Corn bargaining units dominated by “nonprofessional” employees, unless a maority of “professionals” decided they wished to be included. For. purposes of the NLRB a professional was defined as “one whose work is predominantly intellectual and varied in character, involving consistent exercise of discretion and judgment, incapable of standardization, and requiring advanced scieti’fifc judgment.” _-. In spite of the Taft-Hartley law the movement tow* unionization continued. In 1952 a national engineerins union was founded, Engineers qnd Scientists of America. ESA was more.& a central clearinghouse fw an eschange of ideas than a national union with the power to call a national strike. It3 main: objectives were to participate in the process of vreditation of engineering schools, to promote the licensirlg of engineers, and to encourage &gineering education, It also kept statistics on the’ growth of unionization among engineers. It estimated that by 1957 there were about 55,ooO engineers represented by cdlective bargaining units out of 500,000 engineers working in the country (this compared with over 70% in a country like Sweden); of these SS,&lQ, 20,000 were actual members of ESA.’ From its inception ESA was sprit into tyo groups: “Qne essentially wanted to form a pational labor unioxrfor engineers; the other wanted to form an engineering profeSsional society that would sequester the collective bargaining franchises and place them in cold storage.” This divergence came out -when. ESA had to confront tk question of mix@ unions (i.e. those which included technical and/or production workers in addition to engineers). This was a decisive question for ,,rnany engineers and test&the mettle of their class’ consciousness. At a time when the engineer’s distinct professional identity was being threatened by technical developments requiring a diminished use of “professional skills,+’ the inclusion of t&h&al workers in engineering locals aroused the fear that the engineer’s status might become indistinguishable from that of the blue-collar worker. The mixe&.&o& di8ti f&V di‘spiay a high,er level of trade union consciousness than

~ Despite the unions’ support for the principle of individual rewards and merit ratings, a !number of their other actions generally work ko undercut this commitment. ‘Engineering (unions which are active bring “order, stability, aiid regularity to wage, job and personbe1 policy.” They attempt to establish “debonstrable and reasonable criteria” to serve ias standardized guidelines . for promotions pnd merit increases, and they publish data on ~individual salaries and the average me&t increase.

Whereas the latter emphasized the use of tactics such as legislative lobbying and public relations, the mixed unions were more inclined to engage in’picketing, to call’s strike, to adopt a union shop, and to call for higher dues and expenditures for organizing drives .-The issue c;tme to the fore when the mixed unions attempted to affYiate ESA’with the AFL-CIO. When this attempt failed, major locals (Minneapolis-Honeywell, Sperry Gyroscope, and Westem Electric, among others) broke away from ESA and sought to.establish a connection with larger labor organizations at the local, level (MinneapolisHoneywell with UAW and wrry Gyroscope with the IUE). The schism debilitated the national organization to the point where it dissolved,in 1960. Soon thereafter decerttication of the unions at such major sites as Western Electric, Minneapolis-Honeywell, and Sperry Gyroscope took place as ‘result of NLRB elections; a majority of t% e engineersielected to withdraw from the collective bargaining had declined to 45,000 and the numbr of union members had remained conitant at 20,000 while-the number of engineers working had increased to over, 800,m.

welding of Chevrolet rear-quarter panels which could permit exhaust fumes to leak into the car. He repeatedly pointed out the defect to his superiors and later to executives at the plant, but all to no avail. He only succeeded in being transferred to another department where his protests were less effective. It wasn’t until three years later, after at least four motorists had been asphyxiated in their Chevrolets, that General Motors finally recognized the defect and recalled 2.4 million automobiles for repair of the rearquarter panels. Once, when Gregory was subpoenaed as a witness in a trial involving the defective cars, he found himself terminated upon his return to work. Through the intervention of his union, the United Auto Workers, he regained his job back immediately, as well as back pay for the time lost in court. He also used the union grievance procedure to try to reverse his involuntary transfer and recently won the case in arbitration. The arbitrator awarded him his old inspector’s job back. Gilbert Pugliese is a steelworker at the Jones and Laughlin plant in Cleveland. On July 14,1971, Pugliese was ordered to pump oil into the Cuyahoga River, already described by the City of Cleveland as a “fire hazard.” Pugliese refused, and was given a five-day suspension with discharge likely to follow. His nearest union representative, the assistant chief grievance official, was unwilling to help. But his fellow workers threatened a walkout unless Pugliese was hired back, and the chief grievance official then stepped into the case. Two days later, Pugliese was reinstated with back pay. He found that J & L was now using drums to dispose of the oil-which was the same solu-

tion he himself had recommended. The interplay between tendencies moving in the direction of greater worker initiative and greater ‘ ‘proletarianization” is perhaps the key element for gauging the union movement among technical workers. The working class is still far from being homogeneous in its work conditions, and unions must take a differentiated approach to technical workers if they are to meet with success. The approach should take into account at least the following differences in work conditions among technical workers : (1) workers in repetitive, fragmented jobs with’regulated rhythms (so many operations per unit of time); (2) workers with margins or discretion in their work within the framework of subordinate tasks which no organizing or rule-making power; (3) workers with innovative functions (new products, new technology, new information systems) who have a large measure of discretion within a narrowly defined field of action, both in substantive and methodological terms; (4) workers in management functions with large margins of discretion within narrowly defined tasks and fields of competence (here the standards of efficiency are not technical-professional but those of the ends set by the firm); (5) researchers with nonrepetitive tasks but highly fragmented and specialized, lacking autonomy in the choice of their activity and often subordinated to hiearchical structure of authority. The demands of the workers are likely to differ according to where the workers are situated along this continuum of “proletarianization”. reprinted

-Science & Technology

Those who would have envisaged achevron witha science and technology section as being somewhat analogous to, say, a skyscraper with flying buttresses, will no doubt be surprised to find the aforementioned animal abruptly gracing our pages today. This development has come about primarily in recognition of the obvious fact that many, perhaps most, of our readers have academic interests that lie in scientific and technological areas; we realize that it is important that these interests be reflected to some extent in the paper. Our problem in meeting the postulated demand for this type of material has historically arisen from the general lack of expertise among chevron staffers in matters scientific. In this issue we have reprinted a feature length article from New Scientist. This is a practice we would like to do away with as far as possible, in favour of features generated within this university, by people whose scientific background qualifies them to speak of such matters intelligibly, which is where the imbalance in the interests and a talents of our present staff becomes crucial. What we will avoid at all costs, however, is that species of writing of interest to and readable by, scientists exclusively-the chevron can not and should not attempt to duplicate”the function of scientific journals, even within a section whose main orientaI tion is towards science. This means that the articles we would like to print would be in language sufficiently non-technical to admit the layman’s understanding, and in some way connecting scientific research with its possible effects on society. The whole question of a scientist’s obligation to society, “pure research”, and academic secrecy are as relevant today as they were when the first atomic bomb exploded over Hiroshima, or when it first became well-known that weapons developed in Canada by Canadian scientists were being sold to the United States Army for use in the Indochina war. This question is badly in need of examination, yet is virtually ignored outside of armchair discussion. Perhaps it could be opened up by scientists on this campus, who must have given it at least some thought. It is to answer some of the questions raised in our minds concerning science, technology and their implications, that the science and technology section of the chevron exists . Finally, the chevron hopes to start a dialogue on the role of scientists, pure and applied, in present day society. The subject matter is certainly not new, but always worth dealing with, as the world surrounding and influencing the scientific community is far from static. Variations in job market, economic conditions, and status in society are quite readily recognized by most individuals involved. Other relationships between scientists and society require analysis which not only defines the scientists’ concrete role at a particular point in history, but also tries to determine reasons for this relationship, how it developed, and how it is maintained. This section of the chevron will provide the opportunity for students and faculty to express their concerns as well as to familiarize ourselves with the views of colleagues in industry, other academic institutions, and other countries. With the cooperation of people within the Science and Engineering departments we will be able to carry articles on local research and cover related news events. We invite and encourage participation in the gathering of information and news items and in the coordination of this section of the paper. 1’

,PSI by Robert Anton Wilson A British paraps ychologis t with a string of academic credentials long enough to choke a horse and a young mind-reader described by the Continental press as “the English Uri Geller” are preparing a book they claim will be “the Watergate of the occult world.” The parapsychologist, Dr. Peter Bander, editor of Psychic World is an expert on criminology as well as ESP and spook stuff. He is alarmed about growing signs that governments are moving in on the psychic world, monopolizing it and perverting it toward a new kind of international terrorism even worse than the nuclear arms race. The young psychic, 19 year old Matthew Manning, is equally concerned and had demonstrated powers that make him even more astounding than Uri Geller . Some have even said that he seems to have all the psychic abilities of Geller, of clairvoyant Peter Hurkos and -of Edgar Cayce combined-and perhaps even more. Like Geller, Matthew Manning can bend metal and change its molecular structure without touching it. He has demonstrated this to several scientific groups and, after observing Manning perform for the New Horizons Research Foundations in Toronto, Nobel Prize physicist Dr. Brian Josephson exclaimed, “A redefinition of reality and nonreality is needed now. “. .We are on the verge of discoveries which may be extremely important for physics. We are dealing here with a new kind of energy.” Like Hurkos, Matthew Manning can read mindsat a distance and (according to tests by Prof. Hans Bender in Germany) with a greater accuracy than ever recorded by any other psychic in the history of parapsychological investigation.

Prescriptions Like Cayce, Matthew Manning can diagnose and presc-ribe for patients he has never seen, although he has no training in medicine. (Unlike Cayce, Manning has learned the identity of the “entity” working through him in these medical miracles. It calls itself Dr. Thomas Penn, but “Penn” has never revealed whether he lived in the past, in the future, or in another dimension.) Matthew has a bundle of other documented “wild talents.” Hecanproduce automatic drawings in the styles of Picasso, Durer, Goya and other masters; write in languages he has never studied, such as Arabic,. Japanese and Russian; cause knives, vases and even heavy beds and dressers to float around like ballerinas. He also received messages from various dead saints of the Greek Orthodox Church (some of them containing information known only by Archbishop Athenagoras, who takes these messages very serioualy), from 593 past inhabitants of the village in which he lives and . from entities who signed themselves in as Samuel Pepys, Winston Churchill and even agnostic Bertrand Russell (who has changed his mind-naturally enough-about personal survival after death.) To top it all off, on three occasions when Kirlian photographs were taken of the energy unleashed by Manning, the Kirlian machines were blown out. I met with Matthew Manning and Dr. Bander during their recent visit to the Bay Area to plug their current book, The Link (Holt Rinehart, $7.95 .) Although impressed by the scientific reports on Matthew included in the book, I asked for a personal demonstration Matthew went to one end of the hotel

room and I went to the other. I started to draw a sketch which he attempted to pick up telepathically: I considered a star, but couldn’t decide whether to make it one point up (White magick) or two points up (Black magick) and instead drew a tetrahedron. Matthew showed me his sketch. He had drawn the one point up star, the two point star and two tetrahedrons interlinked. We tried again. I drew a pair of concentric circles with two dots inside the inner circle. Matthew, across the room, drew a pair of concentric circles with a series of dots in between them. I next asked for a consultation with the mysterious Dr. Thomas Penn, who diagnoses on the basis of birthdays only. Unfortunately, I slipped up and instead of giving the birthday of my eldest daughter, as I’d intended, I gave the birthday of my second daughter. _ “Dr. Penn” was befuddled, evidently. He wrote several lines which applied to neither daughter-but they all applied to me. He duplicated in exact detail the diagnosis of my lower leg problem recently given by my orthopedis t. ‘At this point I was convinced’ Matthew Manning was the real article and not just a clever stage magician who had been going around duping credulous scientists . Anyway, I have never really believed that clever stage magicians can dupe scientists, who are usually quite incredulous. Dr. Bander had been a friend and counsellor to Matthew Manning (and his occasionally worried parents) ever since Matthew’s powers first appeared, in the form of poltergeis t disturbances, when Matthew was 11 years old. I began discussing the scientific implicationsof Matthew’s powers with Dr. Bander and somehow we got onto the subject of government persecution of dissident scientists. Among those discussed were Dr. Wilhelm Reich, who was jailed as a fraud when he discovered the bio-energetic field in the 1950’s only to be posthumously confirmed by Kirlian photography in the Sixities, and Dr. Timothy Leary . (currently / among the missing.)

Occu It Watergate Dr. Bander then dropped a little bombshell. He told me about the new book he and Matthew are preparing which he de-

scribed as ‘ ‘an occult Watergate. ” “The real truth about governments and occult science will be even bigger than Watergate,” he said grimly. Among other things, Dr. Bander said, the book will deal with attempts to force Matthew to work for the Ministry of Defense; which Matthew, as a pacifist, refused. Shortly thereafter Matthew was persuaded to perform for scientists at London University, only to discover that they were operating under a grant from the Ministry of Defense. Matthew and Dr. Bander indignantly withdrew. After this incident Bander issued a public statement saying: “Neither Matthew Manning nor I intend to work under the auspices of any defense organization and/or participate in experiments which could conceivably become ‘classified information.’ We believe that any gifts or abilities which may be discovered should be made known and available to scientists and be used for the benefit of mankind.” That was when the real trouble started. Dr. Bander claims that agents of Scotland Yard’s Special Branch have infiltrated his business office under fake credentials representing themselves as scientists. Furthermore, he asserts, his phone has been repeatedly tapped, veiled threats against Matthew have been made by government officials , the CIA had been investigating and trailing them around and a letterbomb has been sent to Matthew. Matthew confirmed all this for me and implied that there was much more of the same, which they don’t care to release at this time. “The Ministry of Defense wants to control these powers and use them destructively,” he charged flatly. (A week later, Uri Geller gave precisely the same warning on the “All The People” TV show over Channel 2, Oakland .) Matthew added that he had been cajoled into a private demonstration of his powers for Lord Rothschild, chairman of the Think Tank (real name, not slang), the English equivalent of our Rand Institute, where War Games strategy is decided. Lord Rothschild later denied that such an interview/demonstration had taken place. Dr. Bander showed me aletter, on the letterhead of Lady Teresa Rothschild, requesting Matthew to meet with Lord Rothschild.

This is especially interesting to those who believe in the Round Table conspiracy, allegedly founded by banker Cecil Rhodes ir 1888. According to this theory, the Rothschilds, acting through the Royal Insti tute for International Affairs, and the Rock. efellers, acting through the Council or Foreign Relations, have largely staffed the English and American governments with their own hand, picked servants all through the 20th Century. Oddly, both the Birchers and the Weather Underground have pub. lished documentary exposes of this “conspiracy.” Highest Psychic The real pressure on Matthew Manning to force him to work for the government began after the tests by Prof. Hans Bender in Germany. These tests showed that Matthew scored higher than any previous psychic in reading the minds of subjects over ten miles away. According to Dr. Bander, an English official told him that since his home was only five miles from Checkers (the Prime Minister’s country estate) there could be nc more internal security until Matthew became a government employee. Dr. Bander insists that this was accompanied by an implied threat in the form of a remark about how many young people die in auto accidents everyyear. An interesting chronology appears in the following: 1956-Dr. Wilhelm Reich, after years of persecution by the AMA, is finally hustled off to jail, right after announcing his contacts with UFOs. He quickly dies of a heart attack, which some of his admirers still claim was suspiciously opportune* for his captors. 1953-The CIA dictates to the Air Force that a negative and skeptical policy on UFOs must be adopted. Maj. Dewey Fourno and Capt. Ed Ruppelt later leave the Air Force and subsequently announce that the evidence collected by “Project Bluebeard” supports the extraterrestrial hypothesis of UFOs. 1971-Dr. James E. MacDonald, who had been at the 1953 meeting in which the CIA browbeat the Air Force into the negative UFO position, and who thereafter fought long and hard to have the relevant documents declassified, is found dead of a gunshot wound. Verdict: suicide. 1973-Uri Geller, after being accepted as genuine by several scientific groups in a dozen nations, begins to talk about his extraterrestrial contacts and their attempts ta promote world peace. The Rockefeller owned Time magazine launched a long vendetta against Geller, alledging that he is only a stage magician, and that the many dis tinguishedscientists who have endorsed himare incompetent clods. 1973-Dr. Timothy Leary announces his contact with extraterrestrial higher intelligences via telepathy. Dr. Leary is removed from the prison system and held incommunicado ever since., 1975-Saturday Re?iew Press and Dutton: two respectable and unsensational publishers , release The Mothman Prophecies, by reporter John Keel. Keel, in interviews with a number of UFO contactees, receives basically consistent *portraits of the alleged “Men in Black” who have been repeatedly described in sensational tabloids. The “Men in Black” have been intimidating UFO contactees, seizing evidence, and breaking laws for over three decades now, and Keel does not think they are a hallucination of the “kooky’ ’ contactees . What governmeni bureau is able to act above the law in this way and even treat the Air Force and FBI with contempt? I have had it on excellent authority that for some years now, the U.S. government is heavily involved in research using psychics and “sensitives” for war like purposes. One of my sources is Isaac Bonewits, first man to graduate from University of Cal with a degree in magic and editor of the nation’s largest selling occult newspaper, Gnostic News. The other is a Ph. D in physics who has asked me not to use his name. Both tell basically the same story: the research is heavily funded. Top Secret, has produced amazing results and goes hand in hand with a 1 policy of discrediting or harassing occult researchers‘who won’t join the War Game. If Matthew Manning and Dr. Bander blow the roof off the English end of this, then the - American end will start to blow up, too. The CIA probably isn’t reading yourmind yet; but they almost certainly are trying. (reprinted

Engr’neer CIA. in- the Chevron

. Large articles have appeared in the chevron lately about CIA Assassination plots. However, the Rockefeller report turned up definite plots on only one foreign leader: Fidel Castro of Cuba. All other plots range from speculation, in the case of Dominican dictator Trujillo, to pure fantasy in the case of Kennedy. Because it is unlikely that the Soviet government will launch a public investigation of SMERSH, a division of their KGB (formerly known as the NKVD, and the CHEKA) of the KGB itself, the chevron could write an article on this topic, in the interests of equal representation. While people may seem shocked at the thought of foreign political assassination, an assassination of Adolf Hitler in the early 30’s, before he transformed Germany into a fascist state, may have saved the lives of the six million Jews who were murdered at his command, and the 15.3 million people who were killed during World War II. An assassinatiorr of Mao before the Communists took power may have saved the lives of the six million to 36 million Chinese that were murdered by that party between 1949 and 1973. (A large percentage during the ‘?Great Leap Forward”). Andan assassination of Lenin before he returned to Russia in 1917 may have saved the lives of the 15 million to 25 million people thatwere killed by the. ’ Bolsheviks,-mostly in the waves of 1929-30, 1937-38, and 1946-48. These last figures come’ .’ fi-om “The Gulag Archi$lago” by Solzhenitsyn. One last-word to those chevron writers who might try to justify these killings; I would rather be alive and “exploited” than dead and “liberated”. I Stephen Coates 2A dpplied Chemistry ,

This letter is in regards to a pair of articles in the July 1 lth issue of the Chevron. On receiving this and only this issue of the Chevron on my work term I read it over quite thoroughly. I then came across two articles that interested me from the standpoint of an engineering student. .The article “Whiplash turns down Eng. Sot. pub performance” depicted all engineering students at the University of Waterloo as perverted sexists, Such stereotyping is uncalled l for, it is the actions of a few outspoken engineering students in Eng. Sot. which are pushing (i.e.Enginews) bl a ta n t sexist and racist! propaganda of which many engineering students are not for. The meek majority is following the outspoken minority. It must be made known that this degrades the image of engineering students who are (in most cases) studious, individualistic (as exemplified by the article *“Omigod!” by Len Trembley , 3A Electrical Engineering), non-racist and non-sexist. Also, Judy McMillan forgot about the women that are in . . I. wonder v-v if BWhiplash . theyand also engmeenng at. Waterloo. Are targets for this criticism? --

There are many questions I would appreciate it if Chevron and if it is put in, I to see what reaction it had To conclude, I would like (i.e. on housing, co-op and \

to be-asked and answered on these issues. 5 you could put the’attached summary in the next issue. of the would like to receivesa copy of that issue and the following issue brought about. ~ to add that the July 1 lth issue had many very interesting articles government vs. student).
