On Tuesday, Robert Andras; federal minister of Manpower and Immigration, gave a press confeience explaining. the government’s immigration policies and the apparent reasons .for them. On Wednesday, professor Doug Wahlstein was able to take Andras’ statements and prove them false. This is a “totally unscientific assertion” said Wahlstein responding to Andras’ statement that the Canadian government should reduce immigration now that unemployment has risen above 7 per cent.

professor showed that 22 per cent of immigrants intheir first year in Canada work for an average wage of $2,200. The great majority of these people rise to higher wage levels because they are hard workers. Since these “sweatshop jobs” are essential to small business, Wahlstein said, the government’s policy is to allow “illegal” immigrants to enter Canada and take low paying jobs.

Over transit

Waterloo mayor Herb Epp will ask city council on Monday to unanimously support Kitchener council’s stand in its dispute with striking transit and maintenance workers. City governments must do their best in fighting inflation, and not leave the battle entirely to provincial and federal governments, Epp said Wednesday at a news conference. “It is one thing to talk about inflation, and for the firovincial and federal governments to take a stand. It’s another thing to do it yourself,” he said. “I would not be happy, and I’m sure many other people would not be happy, if they (Kitchener council) went beyond 15 percent.” Epp said he thinks the public approves Kitchener’s stand and is willing to put up with the inconveniences that have developed as a result of it. He said he has had only one call asking for an end to the strike. Epp said he’s also concerned with rising transit deficits. Waterloo’s share of this year’s deficit is expected to bem75,OOO and estimates show that taxpayers may have to pay more than $300,000 a year for transit by 1980. Epp said he regrets an implication arising from a Waterloo council meeting Monday that councillors are critical of Kitchener’s handling of the transit dispute. “As far as I’m concerned, they are doing everything possible to settle this strike, short of giving in to the demands of the drivers and other workers,” he said. Epp missed council’s discussion of the transit strike, due to another engagement, when some alderpersons said Waterloo should offer to help resolve the dispute. Two councillors a/greed at the meeting to confer with Kitchener officials to discuss possible solutions. Kitchener’s 214 transit and maintenance workers went out on strike Sept. 8 because the city would not budge from its original offer of a

They will be collated into one list which will be sent to the faculties so that each department can check that none of its essential reading is to be dropped. The final aim is that the library will be able to cut about 50 percent of its subscriptions but retain the most important material. Shepherd doesn’t think that the cut, when it somes, will be as large as 50 percent, but feels that the serial review “is still a good exercise in houskeeping”. But he warns that “measures as drastic couldn’t but deteriorate the quality of the collection”. That deterioration would begin to be felt on the shelves by 1977-78. If the library has to cut back on its service it will come at a time when, according to Shepherd , many more students are using the facility. Stone told the chevron Tuesday that the cutbacks were bound to affectthe quality of education. Already in his own department, English, first year classes were too big, he said, with 40-45 students in them.

The committee will be aided in this task:.by the various federation boar&, each of which is to review its own bylaws and make recomF - mendations to the,committee, I The Bylaw Committee is composed of federation president Jo,hs Shortall, vice-president Alan Kessel, treasurer John Long ‘and Lois Lipton, Gary Oates and Bruce Rorisonfrom student council.

Stepped up campaign-

KINGSTON (CUP&Students are in a better position to push the Ontario government into increasing the financing of post-secondary education and improving student aid as a result of the recent provincial election . -This was -the consensus of the delegates at the fall conference of the Ontario Fedeqtion of Students (OFS) held last weekend at Queen’s University. But whether the provincial student union and students themselves had much impact on the result of the election-a minority conservative government with a NDP opposition-was a point of some disagreement.

, OFS in the election

-The OFS declined to support th: NDP at a meeting in May, despite agreement that the NDP had the same educational policies as OFS, since.$he preva$g view was that OFS shouldn’t adopt a “partisan stance”. Some delegates fezt that the poster, pamphlet, and media campaign by OFS was a &cess while others expressed doubt that it had any impact on students as a whole. No statistics as to how students had actually voted were available to settle the dispute. Many delegates, particularly those f?om the University of Toronto, felt that the district returning officers. “had vituallybisenfranchised’ ’ many students by using enumeration procedures which precluded, or made it diEcult for, students to get on the voters’ list. The delegates asked the QFS ex‘ecutive to take whatever steps were necessary to see that the Ontario Electibn Act is amended to facilitate student enumeration in the future, and to curb the discretionary powers of the district returning officers.

Whatever the role of students and OFS was in the election it was argued that with the minority government in Queen’s Park the political situation was ripe for a stepped up student campaignaround educational issues. ’ Central in this campaign are fie issues of postrsecondary educational financing and student aid. The OFS reaffirmed its opposition to the financial cutback policy of the provincial government and decided-to-make use of the upcoming public hearings on student aia as a focus for its student aid campaign, A brief for submission- to the hearings will be prepared by OFS dealing with student &id in general and the stude6t aid demands of the provincial student unions-an end to tuition-fees, student loans and the int@duction of free postsecondary Mucation with living stipends for all students. Individual student associations are also being urged to submit briefs supporting OFS’ demand?, and further documenting cases of _hardship resulting from student aid policies on their own campuses. As well as submitting briefs, the

delegates agreed to organize mass meetings or rallies of stugents at those cities where the government will be conducting public hearings later this fall. These mass meetings are p&nned for in Sudbury, Thunder Bay, Ottawa, and will cuTminate in a large rally in Toronto Jan. 2 1, the date when it is expected that OFS will make its Ifresentation to the hearings. Another possible plank in the anti-cutback strategy of OFS will be strong tip@sition to the I “unpegging” of tuition fees from the EHJ formula financing policies now used by the go.vernment. The fear is that the province will change the present policy and allow individual instit%ions to set tuition fee levels as they see fit, a step which OFS feels will .result irr increased tuition fees. i Some delegates expressed reluctance to endorse any attempts at mobilizing students for mass meetings or public rallies, notably the delegates from Queen’s University, University of Toronto and Western. However, the majority of delegates seemed to favor more militant forms of action given the mirtority governmerit presently in power. -

Part-time jobs available for Now that tuition fees have been paid and textbooks have zealously been bought to adorn qnce empty shelves, the problem of how to finance the remainder of the school year becomes a more impending 3ne for many students. For those losing confidence in the Olympic or Wintario Loteries, and who feel that perhaps having a te,mporary or part-time job might be the next best solution to winning the lottery, then read on! Short-term and part-time jobs are available in the KitchenerWaterloo area and there are several organizati&s on and off campus willing and able to help students find them. On campus, the University’s CareerlPlanning and Plakement Ofrice, located in the h-a Needles Hall, posts available part-time student jobs. The types of jobs advertised involve such areas as child care, public surveys and research work where the hours are quite flexible For the student. The athletics department of the University of Waterloo is also interes ted in hiring students. According to Peter Hopkins, head of the Jniversity intramurals, approximately 200 students are hired parttime per term. The jobs are varied and open to 111students. For example, six student assistants-an intramural trainer, an aquatics trainer, a fiteness co-ordinator, and a ret-team :o-ordinator-are hired part-time every term. Each looks after his or her specific area of intramurals and %lso acts as a general resource person for the whole intramural program. The assistants receive $250.00 z term. Although there are no specific Iours involved in this job, Hopkins said that it is condensed to a 10 week period. All student assistants lake presently been hired, howzver Hopkins believes that three positions will be open for the winter :erm. Conveners and referees-in-chief zTe also required for each competitive team sport Z& $25.00 per sport. Students willing to officiate cornpetitive sports would earn $2.40 or

$3 .OO/hr . , depending upon their ability. About 40 life-guards are usually hired by the athletics department and they would earn $2.40/hr. Fin’aIly, instructors are needed to teach other students sports activities at $3.OO/hr. Mary Ellen Ball, head of the part-time job department for the Canada Manpower Centre (CMC), 29 Duke St., Kitchener, says that the prime time to !ook for work is right now. She’s a friendly and helpful person who formerly worked in student centres in Cambridge and Guelph. Ball admits that students who want to work cannot be too particular about the type of jobs they get. ‘ ‘There are not many career-oriented jobs at all so don’t expect it”, she warns. I took a look at the bulletin across from” her desk, where jobs are classified under Permanent Parttime, Student and Temporary. Under the heading ‘Student’ I noted that most jobs entail service work, openings for waiters, waitresses, counter clerks, cleaning persons, sales persons, and short order cooks. Most of them just offer ;he minimum wage of $2.40/hr. According to Ball they don’t get much higher, although one might expect to get a raise after a month or so. However, she was quick to point out that one may make up for it in tips-especially during the Oktoberfest. ‘ ‘W,e have a fair number of vacancies for the Oktoberf&t, O&. 10th to l&h, Ball announces. Some of these positions are now available and run five or six days from 4:30 pm to 1:30 am. Students who wish to work for the Oktoberfest should see Ball and register in the part-time department at the CMC immediately. Generally, most jobs available for students have flexible hours and usually mean working evenings or weekends. For example a job as a counter-clerk is available either to one person Friday and Saturday nights or to two students, one working on Fridays and the other on Saturdays. For those who can spare some time during the day or who have .a free week or weekend, there are

also casual jobs to be found. But since these jobs are of short-term notice you have to be an early-bird t catch them, warns Ken Stricker, h8 ad of the Casual Job section located in the same office room with Ball. It means getting up at 6:00 or 7:00 am and coming to Stricker’s office to see what is available for the day. Stricker admits that he hasn’t seen too many students come to his department. “Now is the time to come in and register for those extra jobs, such as store help and post-office work, offered during the Christmas season”, he adds. And how is the employer’s attitude to students? “Generally quite good”,- responds Ball. But she adds that a lot also depends on the student’s own attitude and presentation. Jan Stern, community liason officer for the CMC and co-ordinator of the student summer job centre, was quick to confirm this. “Presentation is important, especially when competition is stiff ‘, she says. She added that if the student and has the wants “any job” “guts” and “stamina”, knocks on doors and checks every day with Canada Manpower, then maybe in a couple of days he or she can get a job. “It’s that first impression that counts .” The CM@ is presently offering a free program open to anyone, entitled “Creative Job Search Techniques”. It consists of one and a half hour long sessions Tuesday and Thursday afternoons. Audio-visual equipment is used and counsellors give advice on where and how to look for jobs, on how to approach an interview, and on how to set up a resume and a brief data sheet. If you’re still looking around and need some more information, then try the Circle ‘ ‘K”. This voluntary organization, located in the Engineering Building

Number 2, Rm 3321, receives several calls a week from employers who need students for short-term help, such as babysitting, nightwatching, ,and waiting on tables. According to Allan McIntosh, president of the Circle “K”, about three to four job offers come in a week. About 20 short-term jobs are presently available. They are posted on the bulletin board under Circle “K” beside the turnkey desk in the Campus Centre. The telephone suddenly rings on Allan McIntosh’s desk.

OTTAWA (CUP)-The issue of student participation in govern- ) ment decision-making has been raised at the national level, and the federal and provincialgovernments will have to respond within the next few weeks. On Sept. -16 the National Union of Students .(NUS) formally requested that students be included as full members of the Canada Student . Loans Plenary Group-a well-hidden and high-powered federal-provincial body which de‘termines student aid policy across \ Canada. x . According to NUS - executive secretary Dan O’Connor “this request for student participation in’ decision-making which affects their lives as students” is the first time the issue has been raised at the national level.. _

Last October, for example, the Plenary -decided to raise the loan ceiling from $1400 to $1800 per year, -enabling Ontario and other provinces to cutback on student aid in the form ofgrants . and rely more on loans. \

This decision was then forwarded to then finance minister John Turner as a recommendation. -On Feb. 27, four months later and with no public discussion,. Turner announced in a-press release that the change in loan ceilings would be made. Then,#.on March 11, the change went through the Miscellaneous I&rates Committee of Parliament with little discussion as an amendment to an earlier Finance Appropriations Act, rather than as an amendment to the Canada StuI -- dent Loans Act. What all this low-proftie activity amounts to is that the policies which determine whether &dents will receive aid to attend school,and their ‘ectiomic well-being while there, are decided’ without any opportunity being provided for student or public involvement. How much longer this situation will continue will depend, to some extent, on the campaign being waged by NUS demanding “open’ decision-making” and s-trident: involvement . And the fEst round in this match will be decided late this October when the provincial and-federal delegates to the Canada Student .Loans Plenary Group respond to f the NUS demand for students as full members of the Group. -peter

\ . In an article fun two issues ago in the chevron, Barry Commoner examined the problems of poverty and population, concluding that the latter could be solved by eliminating the former. In &he following article UW -_ graduate history student Larry Hannant takes issue with the perspective from which CornmoneT approached the-r’population problem” and with the solution he sugwsted.

In 1798, regarding with horror the tide of republican sentiment sweeping out of revoluti&ry France, the English aristocracy spawned a champion for their antidemocratic cause. In reply to the fevolutionaJy code of liberty, equality and fraternity, the Reverend Thomas Malthus advocated enforcement of wage slavery, -unequal distribution of wealth and strengthened rule by those who owned prop‘efty. In An Essay

otl the Principle

tbf,Populath,

Malthus masked, behind dubioti arithmetic calculation and unfounded general&&ion, a fiexce resistance to the legacy of the French Revolution-fnith in the perfectability of so& ety and belief that the human condition can be changed for the better. Today, similarly aghast at the advance of anti-imperialist movements in Asia, Africa and Latin America, the reactionary forces have produced their own defenders. Barry Commoner’s essay on population and poverty, reprinted from Ram-parts magazine in the chevron (September 19), is a true successor to Malthus’ scandalm~ attack on the people of the world. Commoner makes a great show of piercing the arguments of the most blatant racists and defenders of imperialism. This has become a popular position, especially in view of the remarkable record established by China over the past quarter century in drastically improving the living standard of its people, and with the rise of popular li’beration movements in,colon&d countries. To use a phrase of the ‘60’s, . it’s radi&+zhic. But pious sermons about ending “the exploitation of poor nations by rich n&ions” aside, Commoner propagates fundamentally -oneous views about the nature of and solution to the pressing problems of the world’s people. Commoner, then, is a latterday Thomas Malthus. ‘: At heart, Commoner accepts and repea@ the outragtius lie that people arc a burden on the Wodd, rather. than its most valuable resource and greatest hope for its own perpetuation in peace and prosperity. Says Commoner: ‘There is a way to control the rapid growth of population in developing countries. It is’ to help them develop+md more rapidly achieve the level of we&e that ,ever)lwhere in the world is the real motivation for balanced population.“’ Despite his assertions the widespread hunger in the world is not evidence that the world’s population has outrun its capacity to produce sufficient food, Commoner continues to regard limiting the number of people on the earth as a solution to hunger. . Salvation, claims Commoner, lies in doling out just enough wealth for the undetelo* _ world to realize the economic incentive to restricted reproduction that comes with bxury. (‘I&s f;allacy will be dealt with later,) He has not transcended Ma&us’ argument that “The power of population is indefinitely greater than the power in the earth to produce subsistence for man. Population, when unchecked, increases in a geometric ratio. Subsistence increases only in an arithmetic ratio. A slight acquaintance with numbers will show the immensity of the first power incomp&rison of the second.” It is instructive to recall Frederick Eels’ reply to Malthus: “Where has it been proved that the productivity of the land increases in arithmetic progression? The area ;df land is limited-that is perfbctly true. But the labour power to be employed on this area increases together with the population; and eyen if we assume that the increase of output associated with this increase of labour is not always proportionate to the latter, there still remains a third element-which he economists, however, never consider as important-namely, science, the progress of which is just as limitless and at least as rapid as that of population.” Commoner is only one of many who refuse to rewgnize the inmew capacity of the earth and its people to produce wealth and food.

’ - PHlLLlP A INSIDE THECOMPANY When Victor Marchetti’s The CIA and the Cult of intelligence was published it contained intriguing blanks where material deemed too sensitive by the CIA had been. There are no blanks in .Philip Agee’s Inside theCompany: CIA Diary. This densely detailed expose names every CIA officer, every agent, every operation that Agee encountered during 12 years with “The Company” in Ecuador, Uruguay, Mexico and Washington. Among CIA agents or (contacts) Agee lists high ranking political leaders of several Latin American. countries, U.S. and Latin American labor leaders, ranking Communist Party members, and scores of other politicians, high military and police officials and journalists. After a stint as an Air Force officer (for cover) and CIA training, Agee arrived in Quito, Ecuador in late 1960. During the glory years of the Alliance for Progress and the New Frontier, he fought the holy war against communism by bribing politicians and journalists, forging documents, tapping tele? phones, and reading other people’s mail. But it was a faraway event which seems to have disturbed him more. Lyndon Johnson’s invasion of the Dominican Republic in 1965 was an overreaction Agee couldn’t accept. In 1968, he resigned with the conviction that he had become a “servant of the capitalism I rejected” as a university student-“ one of its secret policemen.” Agee decided to write this reconstructed diary to tell everything he knew. He spent four years writing the book in Europe, making research trips and dodging the CIA. At one point he lived on money advanced by a woman he believes was working forthe CIA and trying to gain his confidence. Until recently, former CIA Director Richard Helm’s plea that “You’ve just got to trust us. We are honorable men” was enough. With the revelations of domestic spying, it no longer is. In this book, Agee has provided the most complete description yet of what the CIA does abroad. In entry after numbing entry, US. foreign policy in Latin America is pictured as a web of deceit, hypocrisy and corruption. Now that we can no longer plead ignorance of the webs our spiders spin, will we continue to tolerate CIA activities abroad’? -Patrick Breslin

“More than an expose, a unique chronicle . . .the most complete description yet of what the CIA does abroad. In entry after numbing entry, U.S. foreign policy is pictured as a web of deceit, hypocrisy and --The Washington Post corruption.”

“Unlike Victor Marchetti, who was so high in the CIA that many of his notions of what goes on at the operations level are downright absurd, Philip Agee was there. He has first-hand experience as a spy-handler. . . as complete an account of spy work as is likely to be published anywhere. .. presented with deadly accuracy.” -Miles Copeland, former CIA agent, in The London Observer “The workings of the world’s frightening picture of corruption,

The competitors were divided into both an A & B level with S .J .C . coming out on top in both. Stan Fogel (S .J .C.) defeated Steve Chan (V.I.E.) in the final round of the A level to capture the championship title. For the first time- ever in the history of this tourney, the B level ended up with dual champions both from S.J.C. The suggestion was made by both players and since they agreed to it, the idea was carried out. Mike Bak (S.J.C.) and Tony Bozza(S.J.C.) now share the title of champions in Level B.

The university however, came through with a $3,000 grant. “They’ve got to sell the UniverWhat is the value of a varsity sports program to a university or, more precisely, to the students who are paying for it? This question is asked all too seldom, but may recur more frequent/y as the costs of such programs increase and student fees are increased to meet them. In this article Nick Smirnow, a fieldworker for Canadian University Press, takes a look at varsity sports programmes across Western Canada. It is of particular interest at this time as a proposal is being discussed that would raise UW athletic fees by SO percent.

Van der Kamp also cited the inequity in funding for men’s and women’s teams. The UBC athletic levy of $4.20 goes to men’s activities’ and 80 cents goes to women. This, he admitted, is partially because there are fewer women’s teams. But the way sports is handled by the university and by society is a major cause,” he added. “ Treat sports like miniature wars,” he said, “and women will be discouraged from participation. ” Administrations and student unions have become more active in trying to shape athletics policy, usually with opposing priorities. The Association of University and Colleges in Canada (AUCC), which consists of top-level administrators from post-secondary institutions, issued a report last fall on athletics. It urged universities to institute athletic boards to administer the whole range of sports on each campus -inter-varsity, intramural and recreation. It suggests students, faculty, and administrative input for the board, and financing from general operating funds. Gray pointed to a recent example at the University of Regina which suggested how these goals could be perverted. A region physical education director recently proposed an athletics council for the university but the proposal limits student input to an “advisory board.” “A university stands for elitism -and the pursuit of excellence. . .” this brief states. “The emphasis now is on competitive sports, ” Gray said. “And people with a competitive mentality will keep pushing for intervarsity sports” At the University of Saskatchewan an advisory board is planned with “good student input” according to Hanson. While no resolutions were made at the conference,-most presidents indicated they would look more

closely into athletics on their campus. Student councils have in past years acted decisively on the athletics issue. Five years ago the Memorial student council in Newfoundland passed a motion redirecting all money collected from the athletics levy from inter-varsity to intra-mural. In 1973 University of Toronto students approved a referendum that cut off funds from the intervarsity budget. Leadbeater asked whether student unions had the resources to “make a dent in the problem” of. the public acceptance of competitive spectator sports. Van der Kamp argued that collectively “we pack quite a punch” and “a lot can come out of it.”

Ted McKeigen, of the Warrior cross-country team placed third in the Western Open Cross-Country run held last weekend on the University of Western Ontario campus.

INUMSHUK

Ted was third in 29:08, behind Bill Britten of Lakehead University, who was first in 28:X.9, and Tony Hatherly, also of Thunder Bay, who finished in 29.03. The eight kilometer course was a surprise in the fact that it consisted mainly of plowed fields. Ted was especially pleased with this since he had spent the week training on plowed fields after a’ not so good showing at the Guelph crosscountry the weekend before. McKeigen led the field of _ 63 runners for the first six kilometers. A mixup at a check point gave Britten the break he needed to go in front and stay there to win with a slim margin of eight seconds. The Warrior cross-country team did not score weir since their two top runners, Dave Northey and Mike Lanigan were absent, resting for the Springbank International Road Races the following day. The other Waterloo results were: Nigel Strothard 13th; Stephen Peet 27th; Greg Spears 39th; Bruce Lower-y 44th; Mike Smith 51st; Al Church 53rd; Paul Stachour 60th; Dave Duffus 61st.

From Jhe early moments, it was clear that we were to partake in a most fascinating evening of laughter land terror - strung out upon a fi-ame of gripping suspense. , A ypung man (Aston) has shown pity in- bringing ’ an old tramp (Davies) into his flat’bfter saving him from a brati ih g local cafe. He offers him a bed and a place in his small abode, to stay as long as he wishes. Aston has been hired to refurbish and re.decorate the room by the landlord, his brother Mick, and in return is aliowed to live there. - Aston further extends his kihdness toDavies by%ffer^mg him a position as cargtaker of the house. . The tr?mp repays this hos@ality by making demands upon, berating . and browbeating the gentle Aston. Mick, for a time, accepts Davies into the household. He too offers him a job as caretaker. Davies, not ‘con&t with sharing the room with Astori, tries .tw’get rid of him through goading M&k, telling him that his brother is “nutty” and not fit to handle the job.

The following article is a reprint from the journal Science for the People, which ye recommend very strongly to our readers.’ lIn the article Barbara Chasin and Richard Frank point out some of the differenqesbetween liberal and marxist analyses of the relationship between science and society, using as an example a much discussed topic: over population.

science-ethics dilemma will tend to disappear, for any discovery which would ha& the majority of people could not be put to use simply because it would bring profits to the few. In this society, science would come under the democratic control of all the people.

tarily reduce their birth,-rate, increasingly stringent measures have begun to be considered. American foreign aid is now often made contingent upon acceptance by the receiver-nation of a certain dose of birthcontrol technology. Family-planning schemes for poor nations are peddled by scientists working for foundations or government agencies. Paul Ehrlich, the veritable dean of the ecology scientists, has recently written the starkest statement yet. Looking at 30 years of failure to make significant reductions in population growth in India, he advises that “India’s government may well have to resort to some coercive method sooner or later, unless famine, war, or disease take the problem out of its hands.” Some scientists, apparently concerned with ‘tee failure of their programs to check rapid gdpulation growth, now find themselves compelled to consider alternatives-“some coercive method” -in direct violation of their liberal beliefs. One dilemma leads inexorably to the next: technology produces overpopulation, overpopulation threatens the world, the world must consider “coercive methods”.

Does an increase in scientific and technologi$Yl--knowledge have to result in the destruction of human lives and seemingly irreparable damage to the.environment? The answer given by-many -seems to be “yes”. We seem to be faced with the dilemnia of having but tw& unpalatable alternatives: either dismantle modem technology or face a likely doomsday. But is this dilemma real? In this brief essay we wish to show that-the dilemma in question is not caused by any@ing in the nature of technology. Rather it is the politics of those who control science which creates the dilemma.

Science in a Libefd Society ) vs. Science in ,a Marxist Society Liberals assume that once science has progressed so that we know how to achieve a given result technically, the problem then becomes one-of. convincing policy-makers that ‘the solution should be put into operation. In recent years the ecological threat has challenged these liberal notions in two ways. -First of all, policy-makers seem often to ignore the -solutions offered by scientists, as when the government continued to use chemical agents in Vietnam long after there was overwhelming evidence that these chemicals would cause long-term, p&-haps irreparable damage to the environment. Secondly, even when pblicy-makers do agree wjth the scientists, corporations seem to have an endless capacity to resist the decision when losses of profits are involved. ‘Liberals, however, because their view of socie&~basically one of accepting the stiucture of -power and privilege, seem to construe the problem as one of the “dangers of technology” and its effects. Marx’ists, on the other hand, take a Icorn: pletely different approach. They start from the premise that modern capitalist societies contain two essential classes: owners of the meanS of production who run their businesses primarily to tiake a profit, and workers who sell theirlabor in order just to make a living. According to the Marxist view, the ethical implications of the uses of new scientific knowledge can only be judged according to which of these two classes w.ill primarily benefit fi-om it. Three simple rule-of-thumb principles guide Marxists in analyzing how science will be utilized in capitalist society: -Advances which improve the lives of workers will only be acceptable to the owners of the means of production if they also happen to serve the interests of the ,latter . -When there is an advance beneficial only to workers, the capitalists will make every attempt to evade or prevent its implementation (e.g. mass transit).% -An advance profitable to‘ the capitalists, which happens .to bring great harm to ,workers, will be used by the capitalists as %loog a$ they can manage to do ‘so-(e.g. pesticides? chemicals in foods). In Marxist theory, there is no way to resolve the &nflict between the two classes except by a seizure of political control of the entire society by the workers-who, represent the’ overwhelming majority of the people-leading eventually to a s&iety without classes altogether. Once, the working class holds political power,, the apparent

A co&4lary of this conclusion is that until capitalism is overthrown, scientists must always choose whether they are working for the capitalist class or the,working class. Liberal scientists, who think they work for “science” in reality end up working most of the time for the class which holds power-that is, the capitalists. To illustrate how these different approaches work out in a concrete case, let us take a looc at one of the ecology movement’s major concerns-,overpopulation.

A Liberal Dil&mma-What To Do About Overpopulation Probably the most painful dilemma facing liberal ecologists today is “overpopulation.” With global famine on the hdrizon, with world resources apparCntly being stretched to their outer limits, people keep producing children at rates that threaten to .push population far beyond the capacity of the earth to support it. And liberals ask, “what is it that has brought on this problem? Was it not the rising standard of living which came about as a re‘sult of the technoIogica1 advances of the industrial revolution? Was it not the outcome of the discoveries of medicine whit h allowed for a lodring of the death rate while bringing no akompanying reductions. in the birth rate? “In short, the pqpulation problem appears to them to be th> direct if unintended result of the advance of scientific knowledge. In the face of this crisis liberals have tried to develop solutions. Ifi the 1950’s moderate attempts were made to induce “birth control” ,by appealing to $ople’s “better instincts” . These programs, the experts agree, have failed. Confronted thus, with the apparent fact that people, particularly in the pdor countries of the world, will not volu&

Otierpopulation-A Approach

Marxist j

To upderstand the “overpopulation” in the world today, we m.ust look at the classstructure of society as well as the technology being developed by science. Evidence suggests that there is something about the na@re of a society i’tsemhat helps to determine ho;v’lmany children< will be produced. Perhaps the most convincing argument for ,a social :theory of population growth comes from a recent study done in India by the economist Mahmood Mamdani. During the yearS 1953-1959 the Harvard School of Pub-/ lit Health conducted a study of its own”pilot program to control population growth in a village in the Punjab. In 1%9 they initiated a follow-up study on their attempts to introduce birth-control devices among a group of Indian farmers. Everyone agreed that the ’ program was a failure. But ‘why would the poor farmers of India, among the world’s most impoverished people, refuse birth contrql when it was offered through the medium of a well-organized, well-financed, intensive program? The liberal experts were baffled. Mamdani, using-a Marxist analysis, found something quite different. Relating his study of , the project’s failure to caste and class relationships in the village, he discovered that poor villagers consciously view their children as labor assets. Increasing land fragmentation combines with the new opportunities in post-colonial India to provide special incentives to the poor family for the production of many children. If most of the children could work at agriculture and other jobs, the combined efforts of the family might be enough to put one child through school and into a bureaucratic post. Then the family would have stime hope of

/ I

ecqnomic security or even advancement. ’ Even if this dream did not come true, the presence of numerous children among the porest families was viewed as a cost-p&ing dpvice: One villager explained: “Why pay 2,500 rupees for an extra hand? Why not have a son?” The message is clear. For the poor in this village in India, children are nQt a ‘ ‘population bomb, ’ ’ but rather a means of survival and even advancement for the entire family. Though society as a whole is threatened by the production of large families, each family, competing with other ,families, must try to keep,its labor costs as : low as possible, and one’s ‘own children are the cheapest form of labor that can be found. But how does a society g&t itself into a situation where poor people, in order to survive, must act in ways that are ultimately irrational and highly dangerous for the world as a whole? A recent study by the anthropologist Benjamin White provides further insight. Using a “demand-for labor” analysis, White attempts to accobnt for the rapid population growth of Java, a region similar to India in many ways. Noting the pressures of the Dutch sugar industry in the nineteenth century on land and labor available for Javanese family farms, White con-eludes that indigenous control’s on population growth had to be lifted in order to produce child laborers who could work the fam’ ily farms while adults went off to work for the sugar factoi-ies. As pdpuiation thus increased, land holdings became even smaller, @ creating even further pressures for more laborers to work the small rice fields of Java more intensively. Putting these two studies together, weecan see that while modern teyhnology and modern medicine may have plajled a role in the development of .the population problem of today, the most significant factor, the pres- . sures on individual families to produce large n.u&bers of children, was created by the particular labor needs of the colonial system of profit-making and is perpetuated by tile so&al relationships which that system has produced. It is not technology or ,medicine tihich produced the population problem and . keep making it worse. It is capitalism. With this analysis in hand, the science.ethics dilemma of population disappears. Sin&e populations can be controlled when the social and economic conditions allow, a clea5 and straightfomard solution emerges : If each family in the poorest nations produces large numbers of children to keep itself above water in the competition with other families to keep its farm-labor costs down, then the solution to the population problem lies primarily in reorganizing the production system so that co-operation can replace competition. Under these new conditiocs, birth control Can be used in a positive manner; each family can plan the number of children in terms of the rational i needs of the entire community, working to- ~ gether to produce food and other necessities for all. This is the essence of socialism. . Would such a program really work? Some of the evidence has already emerged. In 1970 the People’s Republic of China, a socialist h society, had a birth rate only one-half of that of India’s. Of all the formerly poor countries of the world, socialist China has been able to make ilie most significant inroads into the ’ birth rate. Could China’s success haye any. ’ thing to do with the fact that labor on the communes is organized not on a singlefamily basis, but by the en&e commune or work brigades, to make the best use of available labor and other hroduptive forces? The answer is perhaps not a definitive yes at this stage, but blearly those who would like to see population brought under control will be bettitig on the solution most likely to succe‘ed if they cast their lots with the oppressed clas’ ses arid put their science to work for the world socialist movement.

Conclusion The’- analysis of populatidm developed above can be extended into @her areas of the ecology crisis. Would corporations continue to pollute the water and air that workers must drink and breathe if those corporations were directly controlled by the wbrkers? Would there be enough money to overcome existing ecological threats if the profits soaked up by big stockholders were distributed to pay for projects democratically decided upon by communities in which the fattories and mines are located? It is not so much an ethics &science that we need-it is a science for the people.

Burning the books 1

In the wake

of the coup

r_c

that cost the lives of

President Allende and uncounted numbers of Chilean workers and students, a “cultural counter-revolution” is being undertaken, aimed at a “t_otal transformation of the people’s outlook,” in other words, ensuring that they will never again choose Marxism and so threaten imperialistic interests. In the following article Pierre Ketivan of The Guardian describes the programme of systematic reeducation ndw being established in Chile.

“The Secretary, University of Chile, Valparaiso: Dear Sir, Please instruct us as to the administrative measures our faculty must take concerning the books to be taken off the library list because of their political contents. ” ‘ ‘You may kindly proceed to burn them.”

’

pointed to each area with the job of ensuring that teachers carried out to the letter the junta’s measures, that is, “restore ties with Christian cultural tradition and the Chilean nation’s historic goal. ’ ’ Orders have been given to purge syllabuses of “all controversial questions likely to be used in discussions of a social or political character.” In order to avoid any reference to present-day events, the history syllabus for the entrance examination to the University of Chile stops at 1891. Faculty members have been asked not to miss any opportunity for “emphasizing respect towards the individual, institutions, authority

ent student centres; political activity by students or their parents outside their establishments’ ’ and so on. Speaking at Punta Arenas last month, General Pinochet said: “There are still Marxist professors who are trying to poison the youth in their classes, . and I don’t stand for that.” Some institutions, especially private ones, jibbed at this cultural takeover and their directors were promptly suspended. In this way several teachers at Santiago’s St. George’s School were dismissed, and this led to the departure from Chile of all the members of the order running the college. As a result of these measures, for the first time in 15 years the percentage of children attending school, which had been rising steadily, is at a standstill. The campaign’s hardest and frequently its most spiteful blows have been aimed for the mostpart at the university. In the university world, too, reforms had been initiated in 1987. spelling out the principles of selfdecentralization, pluralism management, and autonomy vis-a-vis the political authority, while at the same time underlining the need for active participation in society’s changes. They applied primarily to the University of Chile, a vast bastion accounting for more than half of the country’s 58,000 student population, to the State Technical University (18 per cent of the total student strength), and the Santiago Catholic University (12 per cent). But Chile’s five other universities had also earmarked on similar reforms to reorganize their establishments.

There is nothing imaginary about this epistolary exchange. It did take place this spring between the various heads of the university’s faculties and the university secretary. Among the books earmarked for the flames were the works of John K. Galbraith, Maurice Duverger , Gorki, Celso Furtado, Alain Joxe, not to mention of course the writings of Marx, Lenin and Mao. It’s two years since the coup took place in Santiago, and they are still burning books there. The “new” Chile’s goal is nothing less than a total transformation of the people’s outlook, a veritable cultural counter-revolution. The measures adopted by the junta and the official statements it makes give some idea of the kind of cultural set-up Chile wants. A rather more precise picture may be obtained by examining the clandestine research conducted last. year by experts of the former national research centre, CEREN. At the economic level, the emphasis is on the inevitability of the gap between rich and poor; the individual’s struggle to pull himself up is lauded; and private property has become sacred again. In social and political thinking, the junta’s line is closer to Francoism: the government and the leadership have unquestioned authority, rather like the head of the family ; and the established order,” and glorifying recourse to tradition instead of change; ‘the legitimate pride of being Chilean, the All this was abruptly brought to a stop by democracy vilified as the source of corruplove of the country’s great traditions, the the coup d’etat.

On August 13, 44 persons with “moderate” political views were rounded up at the Santiago arts faculty, ant among them was the head of the French de partment, who is wellknown for his conservative opinions (he has since been released), While it is still difficult to give any figures, il seems probable that 40 per cent of the faculty members and 30 per cent of the students of Chilean universities have quit voluntarily OI been forced to quit. “National security” courses have beer instituted alongside classes at every level o study.

Universityentrance fees have gone up ou of all proportion, and enrolment last year slipped 10 per cent compared with 1973 Several social science, history, ant philosophy departments have been done away with, and the restraints placed gener, ally on research have led to an exodus 01 researchers. An official report published ir June 1974 said 228 researchers have left tht country since 1971, 165 of them since the coup d’etat. Combined inter-faculty teach, ing projects have been dropped. Schools and universities are not alone ir educating a people. We know that the news papers, electronic media and the cinema alsc play an important, if not a more important role here. While there is no legal censorship nobody can deny that it is especially harsh ir practice and that here, too, it parallels a self imposed censorship.

There are fewer newspapers, and they se1 their political tone by the all-powerful El Mercurio which, in the name of economic rectitude, occasionally even tells the junti what line to take. As for the rest, the Chilear newspapers fall back on blood and gore-or their front pages, detailed accounts of sexua’ crimes, glorification of the army, the threat of an attack by Peru or trivial reporting or the spring festival and trade exhibitions Radio and television carry either light enter. tainment imported from the United States or weepy serials from Mexico.

m revisited It is indeed amusing to observe that the Federation council has been entertained recently with a most curious telegram, proposed by a cult of students who want to “help women” by advocating, among other things, that “abortion be removed from the criminal code’ ’ . The rapid proliferation of feminist pro-life groups across North America and in Britain, including a Chicago-based group known as WE (Women Exploited) composed entirely of women who have had abortigns, would seem to cast some skepticism over the glib assumption that abortion was created solely for the good of women. But we must admire in this little group of the faithful the wonderful way in which they are rapidly organizing their religion -already they have presented us with a list of three articles of faith, as unexamined as any medieval credo. “WE believe that motherhood should be voluntary. We believe that Canadian women should have freedom of choice. ’ ’ These statements, of course, rest on the miraculous assumption that a pregnant woman makes a cool, judic&l choice between motherhood and nonmotherhood with as little emotional indecision as if she were choosing between a vacation in Hawaii or in Florida. They also assume that every woman confronted with the decision is fully informed about all the alternatives to and consequences of her decision. Of course everyone sees motherhood as, something good and desirable-otherwise each of us and the whole human race would not be here today. Of course everyone, even a pro-abortionist, sees abortion as something undesirable, even if it is as the lesser of two evils. But by what stretch of unreason can it be construed that motherhood, which is good, is a greater threat to any woman in the throes of a huge decision, than abortion, its undesirable alternative? Let us suppose that the flock who wrote the telegram really meant to say this: We believe that abortion should be voluntary. We believe that Canadian women should have the freedom to choose abortion as the lesser of two evils. Someone should inform these believers that abortion is never a happy, free choice for anyone, that such a drastic decision can never be made in some light idyllic situation free from the pressures of coercion: the coercion of a hard society, of a slave-driving employer, of a profitseeking abortionist) of a callous boyfriend or husband, or of parents who care for what the neighbours think more than for their daughter’s peace of mind. Let’s face it,the “alternatives to abortion that society can offer” are the very things that a woman desires with all her heart when she reaches .out for support to carry on her pregnancy and affirm her motherhood. The only other alternative is abortion, and what does it have to offer except a terminated pregnancy with the very real but subtle beginnings of a trauma that cannot be aborted? A trauma that festers inside and undermines the sense of emotional well-being of most recipients of the so-called human al temative . “‘WE ask that police and courts immediately stop prosecuting Dr. Henry Morgantaler and those other professionally qualified doctors and nurses who have been performing abortions in order to help women.” We wonder why these people think that the plight of poor Dr. Morgantaler is the plight of Canadian doctors as a whole. The Canadian Medical Association, itself in favour of

liberalizing .our abortion laws, has washed its hands of the whole Morgantaler case. No wonder; Morgantaler himself has admitted before the Supreme court of Quebec to using his abortipn apparatus (the polyethylene Disposable Vacurettes), in an unmedical way. He has admitted to re-using his Vacurettes, even though they are supposed to be disposed of after only one use. Says Rex E. Doherty, executive vice-president of Berkebey Bio-Engineering Inc. and supplier to Morgantaler: “from day one we have made only disposable Vacurettes, that is Vacurettes which are sold in sterile form for one use only. The package is clearly marked ‘cannot be re-us’ed’ . If Dr. Morgantaler had been re-using our Vacurettes, it was strictly against the specific instruction from the manufacturer.’ Re-use of the Vacurettes, which cost $3.30 each, could result >n transmitting diseases to subsequent patients if the instruments were not properly sterilized, according to doctors queried. Such diseases could include viral hepatitis, tetanus, venereal disease and gaseous gangrene. Resterilizing a polyethylene %rstrument would be a difficult process, according (The MONTREAL to manufacturers. GAZETTE, Dec. 24, 1974)“. So, when the orthodox solemnly declare Dr. Henry Morgantaler a professionaly qualified doctor who has been “performing abortions in order to help women”, pure and simple, please allow us a little agnosticism in regard to their simple faith. But let us close in harmony and agreement with the authors of the proposed telegram. We, like they, “ask that abortion be removed from the criminal code”. We also ask that mercy killing, infanticide, murder and human discrimination be removed from the criminal code. We ask that the very need for and,existence of these tragedies be removed from our society now and for ever. And we .propose as well that this curious telegram be put on’the museum shelf, or in the archives of our own rapidly sinking library, along-side the rack, the thumbscrew, and the other antique curiosities of other less-enlightened eras.

Crowd control

The Bee Gees concert was one of the most enjoyable concerts that I have attended since I started in 1971. Crowd control, how, ever, was terrible. People stood in line for forty-five minutes only to be told that they were in the wrong line. It seemed that people with student tickets but no student cards and people buying tickets at the door were supposed to use the Red South doors. People lined up at Blue South were not told of this arrangement until they reached the doors at the bottom of the stairs, having waited the already mentioned forty-five minutes to reach that point. By the time some people finally got into the gym the concert had already begun. After paying five to six dollars for a ticket, people should not miss part of the concert because of the lack of preparation on the part of the concert organizers. The crowds would have moved much more quickly had the concert organizers directed people into the appropriate line-up as they arrived, either through the use of signs or megaphones. A second reason for slow &wd movement was the fact that only one door was used at the bottom of each set of stairs. It does not seem unreasonable to use t,wo. The poor crowd control detracted from an otherwise excellent concert last Friday. I hope that the situation is better at upcoming concerts. Craig
