The Ontario provincial government since 1971 has deliberately suppressed information about the effects of mercury pollution in this province. _ Max Allen, a journalist with the CBC, made this allegation at a public meeting held at the Kitchener Public Library last Monday. The forum dealt with mercury poisoning in Northwest Ontario and was presented by the Ontario Public Interest Research Group. Allen said that the methods used in a provincial inquiry into mercury pollution were “deliberately designed to uncover no evidence of mercury poisoning.” The study cited by Allen made its findings public in a report named “A Preliminary Proposal to Study the Health Hazards of Mercury Contaminated Fish in Northwest Ontario”. The report appeared publicly in January 1976, five years after such an investiga-

tion had been designated and six years after the Wabigoon River and lower English River system was closed to commercial fishing by the province. The report concluded that: “We have found no evidence of mercury poisoning in Northwest Ontario.” The report, which was a “preliminary proposal”, also said that “No special agency is known to exist in Canada which could undertake the proposed study.” Allen criticized the study on a number of points : -The testing was done in the dead of winter after mercury levels - had dropped, rather than in the summer when the consumption of fish wouid have been at its height. ’_ -No systematic attempt was made to test the same people, each year. -That set’ of people which in probability would have consumed very high amounts of

the CRTC decided on March 24 to defer closing all services carried by cable television systems until March 1, 1977. That means Radio Waterloo will have almost a year to apply for a FM licence, Assmann said. “It took three and a half months for them (the CRTC) to come to the conclusion that they should have consulted us first before cutting us off.” To apply for‘a FM licence, the station will have to purchase a transmitter, a tower and other equipment which should total $68,000, Assmann said. As for the CRTC”s sudden reversal of policy, Assmann said this was caused mostly by lobbying on

contaminated fish-trappers and fishermen-were excluded from the study. -The study was interested only in levels of mercury in the blood and avoided examining symptoms and damage possibly caused by mercury intake. -Six native people were taken to Winnipeg for examination in a hospital in 1973. According to Allen, there was no reason for taking the six people to Winnipeg. Indeed, a year later a Japanese scientist tested 80 people and concluded that there was evidence of mercury poisoning. A number of native people in the area were found to exhibit symptoms of Minamata Disease. -Those native people who were taken to Winnipeg were not among those with the highest levels of mercury in the blood.

The station was booted off the wavelength in mid-January by the Canadian Radio-Television Commission after the commission rejected an application of Grand River Cable to carry Radio Waterloo .. The ruling came as a surprise to Radio Waterloo, which has been seeking clarification of its status from the CRTC since 1970. The commission at that time told’ the station that it could transmit via cable until a definite policy I was enacted. Assmann said Wednesday that

the part of student radio stations, ethnic groups’ stations and the Canadian Broadcasting League. Assmann said he’s “both elated and overjoyed” about the station going on air once again. And he promised that there will be many new features in the programs of Radio Waterloo. The programming will include music f&tures (live shows), news briefs, a special on the K-WSymphony Orchestra, another on Canadian music artists and many other new ideas, Assmann said. The station will begin cable’ broadcasting on April 19 at 6 p.m. and the frequency will likely be 94.1 FM. -john

Mercury” produced in 1972 was withheld, according to Allen, for two years. The study stated that mercury levels found in fish in the Northwest region of the province were 30 times over the safety standard. Moreover, it warned that those who eat such fish, especially pregnant women, must be considered at risk. The full report was released in November, 1974; one day after Allen released exerpts from the report on the CBC Radio programme “As It Happens”. Allen charged the provincial government of also suppressing the findings of a report submitted in March, 1974 called “Policies for Pollution Abatement for Ontario’s Pulp and Paper Industry”. Presently, Allen stated, it is not possible to get access to the report. The government’s refusal to make public the report is,. in Allen’s words, an example of the “collusion of government regulatory bodies with those industries they are supposed to be regulating which,” he went on to say, “is typical.” Backing up his accusation, Allen noted the statement made three weeks ago by provincial cabinet member, George Kerr: “This government doesn’t intend to zero in on the pulp and paper companies to literally club them into taking on an expensive program of environmental protection which at“ this time the industry can collectively ill afford. A few newspapers”, Kerr continued, “have overstated the ministry’s intentions in a few meetings with Pulp and Paper companies .” Allen, continuing on, also- read a memo received by Dr. Stopps, a member of the panel, from a Dr. Connaught, who was in charge of Health Services in that region for’ the Dept. of Indian Affairs. Con-

cerned over the mercury pollution controversy, Connaught wrote: “I still believe that when they opened up this whole thing their ‘motivation (the Indians’) was limited to the juvenile prospect of compensatory treats. ” Connaught, reportedly, felt that such compensation would set a regretable precedent. Along with Allen in the panel discussion last Monday were Jim Harding, a professor in Man and Environment at the University of Waterloo ; Jim Ronan, a director of Laboratory Services, in the Federal Ministry of the Environment; Aileen Smith, co-author of Minamata; Ken Irizawa of the Provincial Ministry of Natural Resources; and Dr. J Stopps, Associate Professor, Division of Community Health, University of Toronto. The civil servants on the panel, including Dr. Stopps -who in 1971 was delegated by the Ministry of Health to look into mercury poisoning in the province, came under heavy attack from Allen, Smith and the audience. The provincial officials said often that decisions concerning mercury abatement and possible compensation to those native people whose livelihood was affected by mercury pollution could only be made by the elected politicians. Dr. Stopps suggested that interested citizens should write to their respective Member of Parliament and voice their concern that way. Over a hundred people attended the meeting. About 30 people attended a meeting afterwards which discuss,ed the possibility of setting group” based in up a “support Kite hener-Waterloo whit h would look into and fight mercury poisoning in Northwest Ontario. -doug

That was the question had done public battle the meeting posed by the chevronyesterday to was very tame, and the response to the education experts of the three the question contained little good political parties. news for students. Harry Parrott, minister of col-

Parrott claimed that the word ‘cutback’ was not appropriate because all the educational programs had received more money this year than last, and across the system the increase in government funding was 14.4 per cent. The minister also pointed, to some government job creation schemes which he said would pro-.

Counc~lors vote to retain card scheme -_

It isn’t quite wages for councilwork but it’s better than nothing. That was the impression student councillors cast when they voted Sunday to implement a revamped privilege card scheme for themselves. .The setup, which allows student officials from across campus free entry to student federation events, came under review last fall after some public criticism. The student council at that time formed a committee to investigate the question of privilege cards for student officers. And a report was presented to the new council in March which, in turn, referred it to yet another review committee. After one session, the committee produced a report at Sunday’s meeting whit h council accepted by a 13-6 vote. The report-says the committee didn’t “entertain abolition of the card system as a reasonable alternative” for the following three reasons: -responsibility for functioning of events on the part= of student officials ; -communication among student reps and contact with constituents ; and -a nominal reward to officers for services rendered. In elaborating, the report says the committee saw it as “important for counterparts from organizations to be able to attend activities of other groups. “This permits them first-hand to be able to evaluate an event, to sense the response of participants, and make observations that could help them in their own planning and execution of events.”

In addition, the committee says there are individuals such as student councillors who aren’t “immediately involved”in the operation of an event but are “at some point responsible for what is going on.” i As for communication, the committee says’various events allow officials to “make and maintain contact with-other workers and officials. “This is especially important for communication between different faculties and parts of campus where the people may not normally meet each other.” The same goes for student reps who will “remain in touch” with larger numbers of people with their federation attendance at events such as movies, pubs, dances and concerts, the committee says. The committee also endorses the argument that student officials should be allowed free entry for “labor they rendered,” saying “the monetary value of the occasional ‘free’ admission is frequently a fraction of any ‘market’ value of the person’s time.” Eat-h card holder will be allowed a ceiling on the number of events they can attend free-of-charge. The federation president, the vice-president, the treasurer and the entertainment chairperson will be allowed to spend $100 each. Student councillors will receive a $50-credit ceiling while other officals will be eligible for credits ranging from $25 to $50, the committee says. A review of the system will be conducted next November and it will be administered by the president, treasurer, and entertainment chairman. -

If all student officers use up their credit, the cost to students, for one year will be $3,125. Federation president Shane Roberts defended the privilege card scheme, saying “it’s a nominal system of reimbursement for services rendered on the part of student councillors .” Mathematics rep. John Long disagreed by pointing out the scheme “will set us up as someone special” and council members knew what they were getting into as far work is concerned when first elected. Other councillors introduced an amendment, which was defeated, calling for a two-thirds attendance record at council meetings to be eligible for then privilege. In other business, council passed its budget for 1976-77 which contains an allocation of $408,389 and projected revenue of $141,050. The subsidy to be paid out of student fees will be $267,339. And the federation expects students to pay in about $282,000 in fees next year. Out of the federation’s slush fund for next year, council gave a $1,000 grant and $1,000 loan to the fourth year optometry summer student project. The project provides eye clinics manned by students to such places as Thunder Bay, Sioux Lookout, Manitoulin Island, Moose Factory, the Ontario Hospital for the Mentally Retarded at Orillia, Southern Ontario reservations and the Caribbean. In another matter, councillors endorsed a proxy policy for student council members wishing to delegate their vote for one meeting to a chosen delegate. -john

the chevron is not more widely available for the paper-contains a great deal of good solid material for the brain which is unobtainable elsewhere.” The Ontario Student is the official publication of the Ontario Federation of Students and it comes out every month. The chevron also offers its staffers seminars on newswriting which helps them to go into “the big, bad world,” Docherty said. And most chevron volunteers are “keen on journalism” and want to pursue it professionally after graduating. Mathematics rep. Robert White asked Docherty how the paper found out that the name used in a recent letter-to-the-editor was a pseudonym. Docherty replied saying staffers checked the name in the on-campus and off-campus telephone directories. The letter White referred to was written by Matthew Smith and it cont’d. on page 7

vide 11,000 positions. He warned that jobs can’t be picked off trees, and said the government was putting an emphasis on creating permanent positions. ’ For those students unable to find summer work the minister said adjustments would be made in their OS AP award. Sweeney was quick to point out that 11,000 jobs was a drop in the bucket when it is projected that 100,000 students will be out of work this summer. The liberal critic was against the government’s review of student grants and said the assistance should not be reduced. He also suggested that the award not be tied to the student’s parental income. And he said he was interested in a student’s suggestion that an exchange be implimented between students who seek employment for one third of the year, and workers who would like a spell at university. His response ended on the sombre note that the type of student unemployment we are likely to witness this summer “is going to be with us until the 1980’s .” Warner was also concerned --about student unemployment which he projected might run ‘as high as 120,00O.~He said students in

the rural areas would be the worst -hit. Though he found the situation very serious he hoped that it wasn’t a sign that we “are heading back to education elitism. I don’t think that is the government’s intention,” he said. Though he did point out to Parrott that because government spending hadn’t kept pace with inflation it was fair to use the term ‘cutback’. The meeting differed markedlyfrom Parrott’s last visit to UW when he was heckled by over 200 angry students and some faculty. This was not a public meeting. Intended only for the information officers, and the press, it received low publicity. Nonetheless, a few student representatives were on hand to greet the minister with a large sign which read: “April Fool -Harry Parr&t”. The sign upset UW information services chief, Jack Adams, who approached the three student-reps before the meeting and asked them if they were going to cause any trouble. Franz Klingender, Doug Thompson, and Ted Hogan, assured him they were not, and Adams seemed satisfied. -neiI

Alternatives f&d- m&op The food industry in Canada is controlled by so few companies that “we’re in a situation where the farmers can’t afford to grow food and the people can’t afford to of the Onbuy it,” a co-ordinator tario Public Interest Research Group (OPIRG) said Tuesday. David Robertson, speaking at a meeting sponsored by the Consumer Action Centre, told 40 people that “the whole grey area” between declining farm prices and constantly rising food costs constitutes the profit of a handful of huge food conglomerates. John Keyes, an OPIRG researcher, and the second speaker at the meeting, said that “the picture we’ve drawn-a number of large corporations ruling the roost-casts doubt on competition” as a real factor in the industry. Robertson explained that eight fruit and vegetable canners in the country control 52 per cent of the market, the three largest meat packing companies control 55 per cent of the market’ and four breakfast cereal companies control 95 per cent of the market. Speaking to a mixed audience of young and old at the Rockway Senior Citizens’ centre, Robertson provided a brief description of the wide holdings of each of seven corporate giants in food. The George Weston Co., Safeway, Steinbergs, M. Loeb, Loblaws, The Oshawa Group, and Argus Corp. (owner of Dominion Stores) have “reduced farmers to serfdom and wiped out hundreds of independent producers and retailers ,” Robertson said. “Right now, we don’t determine anything,” said Robertson. “We walk into the supermarket and pay what they want. “But what if we controlled our own retail outlets? We have to develop real alternatives to this -worker-controlled factories, retailer-controlled retail outlets, consumer-controlled banks .” Asked about short-term ways to improve conditions for-consumers, Robertson suggested that several families could confront their local supermarket. manager and demand

to have quality food stocked on the shelves. “Let’s gee if we can’t change Zehr’s groceries in town,” he urmed . i<:yes pointed out a host of ways by .vhich the food industry, which is characterized by vertical integration (where a retailing corporation owns wholesalers, packers, distributors, and even corporate farms) and oligopoly (control by a very few companies), deceive the consumer in order to improve their own profit. Packaging and carton designs, pricing policies, advertising and corporate secrecy, all combine to milk the consumer to the greatest possible extent and keep damning information from the public. Furthermore, effective protection from government is put into doubt when the question is thoroughly examined, he said. Keyes noted that the federal government’s Royal Commission investigating corporate conglomeration is stacked with men who have strong ties with powerful companies in Canada. Another example mentioned was the appointment ‘of Simon Riesman to the George Weston Ltd. board of directors in May of last year, only a month after he had retired as deminister of finance. p u-t y R&man’s special function with George Weston Ltd. is liaison with the government, especially the Royal Commission on Corporate Concentration. Questions and comments from the audience focussed on what action to take to improve the lot of consumers. Several people pointed out the value of consumer and producer co-operatives, and growing and canning food. One person in the audience pointed out that dealing only with the food industry, in isolation, from the monopoly capitalist system, would not provide a permanent solution. Only the overthrow of the monopoly capitalist system, and the replacement by a system which serves the majority of the people will yield a real change, he said. -4arry

However, if your job terminated as a result of either quitting for no reason, or being fired through fault of your own, the waiting period could extend up to eight weeks. In order to qualify for unemployment benefits, you must have worked for at least eight weeks during the preceding 52 and must have paid insurance during those weeks. The chevron asked the District Manager of the Kitchener U.I.C. a Mr. Brooks, what people are obligated to do while receiving of unemployment benefits. His reply was that people should be “constantly knocking on doors” and are expected to report to the office every three weeks or so. If you don’t contact them, be assured they will caIl you. Brooks said that while receiving benefits you are not allowed to move from the area, or take a holi-

The “personal portfolio” issued by Manpower recommends five to eight a day, and also advises you to “avoid the temptation to ~10~ down, to do other things.” Brooks said that the UIC has established connections with 75 employers in K-W, and if a recipient is suspected of lying about having visited an employer, the UIC takes it upon itself to check up on the person by contacting the employer in question. He also said that 75 prosecutions against offenders of unemployment benefits, and the publicity it has received is making the system more efficient. He mentioned the assistance of anonymous phone calls and letters in identifying these offenders. dina

Mr. and Mrs. Abdul-Fattah Asfour moved into the West Tower of the Married Students Apartments in June 1974 and one month later water began leaking from behind the tiles in their bathroom and into their bedroom. The superintendant was notified immediately and a repairman came some weeks later. The repairman told Asfour that “the whole rotten thing should be changed,” indicating the tiles. The repairman said that the bathrooms in the apartments had been cheaply con-strutted and leakage was the result. After a week the leakage began again and Asfour reported his problem to the manager, William Pigden. Two months elapsed before the repairman arrived and the. tiles were again temporarily repaired. Since that time Asfour has reported the leakage on several different occasions and has had to wait months for repairmen. Meanwhile the water continued to

leak into his bedroom.\ During the summer of 1975 the tileman arrived but was unable to make any repairs as the tiles in the bathroom had, deteriorated. In 1976 after living with this problem for a year and a half Asfour decided hot to renew his lease unless he could move into a different apartment or get a guarantee from the management “that we would not have to suffer any longer, from that leakage. ” When Asfour asked the manager if he could change apartments Pigden denied any knowledge of the problem. Asfour claims that Pigden called him a liar and would not allow him to change his apartment for another. Pigden claimed that tenants could not switch apartments without a valid reason. Asfour cited the example of an acquaintance of his who had switched apartments as he had not felt comfortable in the first one. Asfour stated that he was very uncomfortable in his apartment because of the leakage problem.

Asfour claims that Pigden replied he wasn’t interested in Asfour’s comfort and would not allow him to change apartments. Asfour informed the manager that he would contact his superior and he spoke to Cail Vinnicombe, director of. housing and residence operations. “Mrl Vinnicombe was very helpful,” said Asfour. He said that the leakage constituted a health problem that was contrary to the Landlord Tenant Act. He told Asfour they would try to make effective repairs on the bathroom for the last time and if they proved unsatisfactory he would be.able to change apartments. In February Vinnicombe wrote to Pigden telling him to waive Asfour’s deadline for lease renewal until the bathroom had been repaired. The repairs were made and after a few .weeks the leakage began again. In the meantime Asfour received a letter from Pigden’s secretary advising him to renew the lease by 10:00 the next morning or the apartment would be rented to another tenant. Asfour phoned the secretary, T. Yaciuk, at home and claims she told him that “Mr. Vinnicombe has left the whole matter up to Mr. Pigden.” The next day Asfour got in touch with Mr. Vinnicombe who confirmed Asfour’s belief that his lease renewal deadline had been waived. Asfour also claims that Pigden’s secretary was rude to him on the phone and hung up on him. Asfour has a letter from Vinnicombe authorizing a change to another apartment when his lease expires in April. A copy of this letter was sent to Pigden but as yet he hasn’t acknowledged the letter. In a telephone interview Pigden denied that Asfour’s leaking tiles were a continuing problem. Pigden admitted that repairs had been slow “but that is because we haven’t the workers on hand.” When asked if he had accused Asfour of lying, Pigden replied: “Not true.” Pigden does not believe that Asfour has a valid reason to change his apartment. When asked if he has ever checked out the problem or seen the leakage, Pigden replied: “That’s not my job.” “The maintenance men reported that the repairs were almost effective in the apartment,” Pigden said. When asked if Vinnicombe’s letter of authorization would ensure Asfour and his wife a new apartment in April, Pigden said : “Not necessarily.” Asfour collected a random selection of complaints from other tenants in the West Tower. The complaints vary from broken washing machines, lack of available storage space, lengthy waitingperiods for repairs, to a window in one apartment that has not been repaired for a year and a half. Several of the complaints were directed at Pigden personally. Tenants complained that the manager’s office was often closed when it should be open and several tenants felt that he was unresponsive to their problems. Another tenant claimed that Pigden had suggested he was lying when he reported a problem that needed repair. Questioned about complaints made by the tenants Pigden replied, “We have had some, of course, but not a substantial amount. ” -judy

Joe Recchia, ho are y Who is Joe Recchia and what does he do for the student federation? Student councillors asked this as they question on Sunday perused the federation entertainment board’s budget and discovered an item entitled director of student activities with an alloca-‘ tion of $1,000. Entertainment chairman Doug Antoine told them Joe Recchia is the director of student activities and has held this position for several years. Recchia’s job is to book music acts for the federation and to coordinate negotiations between the artist and the entertainment board, Antoine said. But councillors still weren’t satisfied with this response so they then instructed the-ckariman to-

draw up a report together with treasurer Manny Brykman on Recchia’s relationship with the federation. Antoine said he shared council’s concern regarding Recchia’s status with the federation and that he’d also “like to know what the hell is going on. ’ ’ The chairman explained he had a brief chat with Recchia on Saturday and still has some questions to ask the local promoter. External relations chairman Mike Ura said he’s very suspicious of Recchia’s activities, saying “I notice he’s got his fingers in every money pot on campus.” Ralph Torrie, publications chairman, added that Recchia “has got the whole of Southern Ontario’s entertainment industry by the balls.”

Cross-Canada So you’ve heard that the Great Canadian Race will be a race of innovative and unidentifiable contraptions to Montreal. But have you heard of Cycle Canada ‘76? CC’76 is a 3,750 mile cross Canada bicycle tour beginning in Victoria, British- Columbia, on May 3 and in St. John’s, Newfoundland, on June 17. Both eastbound and westbound cyclists will arrive in Montreal, Quebec, on July 20, three days after the opening of the Olympics. The eastbound trip will go through Lethbridge, Regina’, Saskatchewan, Winnipeg, Manitoba, Thunder Bay, Toronto, Ottawa continued

criticized an article penned by chevron staffer Henry Crapo. Mike Ura, chairman of external relations, said he found chevron staffers very cooperative when they were asked to help the student federation put out a special issue on education cutbacks. “Whenever we go to them for announcements or information, they are always willing to help.” Publications chairman Ralph Torrie informed council that he intends to set up a committee to review the bylaws governing the chevron and its relationship with the federation. The committee will be comprised of the publications chairman, three student councillors, one student from each of the six campus Faculties, the chevron editor and one staff member of the paper. “This committee has no editorial say or comment regarding the chevron as it’s strictly concerned with the paper’s bylaws,” Torrie said. Earlier, councillors ratified history graduate student Adrian Rodway as chevron editor-in-chief for 1976-77. Rodway was asked by Engineer-* ing rep. Paul Buckham whether the paper will concentrate more on local campus news rather than world events under his guidance. The new editor, a former staffer of the Jamaica Broadcasting Corporation, said he plans to publish off-campus news but not to the exclusion of on-campus happenings. Other chevron staff positions approved by council were: Brenda Wilson as advertising manager and Neil Docherty, as production manager. All positions ari: salaried, paying $145 per week, and run from May 1, 1976 to April 30, 1977. -john

and on to Quebec. The westbound trip will be via St. John’s, Sydney, Cape Breton Island, Charlottetown, Fredricton, Riviere-du-Loup, Quebec and finally to Montreal. Five “feeder routes” will offer alternative geography and increase the opportunities for as many cyclists to participate as possible. They are: -from Calgary via Edmonton and Saskatoon to Yorkton; -Sarnia to Toronto via London, Kitchener, Hamilton and Oakville; -Windsor to Toronto through Chatham, London, Kitchener, Hamilton and OakviIle; -Fort Erie to Toronto by way of Niagara Falls and then following the golden horseshoe; . -Halifax, down the Atlantic seaboard to Liverpool, across the province to Annapolis Royal andacross the Bay of Fundy by ferry to St. John. This route will then join the main route at Fredricton, New Brunswick. The entire route is divided into 24 sections. Participants may, travel as many sections as they wish. With no special training needed and all ages welcome, the only necessities are time, good health (cyclists will cover an aver-

age of 50 miles per day), a bicycle, and, of course, the feer-

Are you planning on spending over a thousand bucks ($1,000) to go to Africa sometime this year or the near future? You can save that money for something else. Just come with us to the Theatre of the Arts at the University of Waterloo, and we will give you a better deal. The African Students kssociation and the Federation of Students are sponsoring African activities oncampus for the week ending April 3, 1976. Activities planned include films on African development, a lecture on “Foreign Aid and Self Reliance”, African marriage ceremony, African market scene, and African fashion show. A dinner dance will culminate the activities at the West Indies Club on 450 Weber Street North, Waterloo.

Fees vary according to the route and package chosen. They start at $28 and go up to $700 for the Victoria-Toronto trip. Two packages are available. The bikepacker package is the cheaper and includes insurance, first aid provisions, a mobile bike repair shop, baggage transport, tour manual, sag wagon (for those who just can’t make it) and camping fees. The cycle caravaner package includes everything in the bikepacker option plus tents, food and utensils. According to CC’76 director, Tom Robson: “We’re trying to reach the average Canadian-get our recreational cyclists taking an active part in the 1976 Olympics.” Many thousands are expected to take part during the entire tour with about 500 being on the road at one time, Robson says. Riders will be divided into groups of 20; each group being under the direction of a group leader who will have undergone training to help him coordinate their units.

Presently NUS has two roving fieldworkers and one person in the Ottawa office. Next year the anticipated budget could provide for up to eight additional people, but the exact number will be decided at the Annual Meeting.

Project G.I.V.E. is w,orking under the auspicies of a government Local Initiatives Program grant and one of their aims is to explore the potential of volunteer entertainment and stimulation resources in the community and promote programs suitable for residents in local nursing homes. This information will be compiled into a brochure and made available to nursing homes to help them with their program planning. Entertainment and stimulation covers a wide area. An example would be a games session which would promote interaction between the residents and the volunteers. Perhaps you have travelled and may have slides that you could share with some shut-ins. Or maybe you have films or a collection of material pertaining to a certain university course that would offer some insight to a senior.

These feelings can be alleviated by short visits from outsiders who might engage the shut-in in a game of cards or crokinole or just a friendly chat. Visits can be made with a group or if you prefer, on a one-to-one basis, which could lead into an adopt-a-grandparent relationship. The nursing home resident needs outside societal contact and this can be made possible by offering your services in the form of transportation and/or supervision for an outing. It could include taking one resident to ,a movie, helping to take a group on an excursion or running simple, but important errands. All of the above are samples of services that can be done by volunteers willing to aid in the revitalizing of nursing home residents.

re TORONTO (CUP)-Both Pat and Liz would have been excellent teachers e They are highly motivated, academically first rate and experienced at handling students. Both of them confidentially expected to be teaching in another year, but neither of them will. Why? Because they are two of the 3,000 applicants to the University of Toronto’s Faculty of Education, who, because of an arbitrary decision, have been effectively disqualified for breaking a rule they did not know existed. Liz’s mistake was to wait until January 18 before applying to the Faculty. Pat’s error was to apply on a friend’s unused application. B 0th of them acted in good faith and neither realized the mistakes they were making. Just like the other 3,000 students who have been disqualified, Pat and Liz consulted the calendar distributed by the faculty and noted that the deadline for the receipt of applications was April 1, 1976. They applied in plenty of time but neither knew that the effective cutoff date had been moved ahead by ten weeks, to about January 15. When the faculty of education admissions officer was questioned March 15 he refused to explain why the deadline had been changed. “I haven’t any comment to make on that matter,” said Gerald White, “why don’t you ask the Associate Dean’ ’ . Dean London was more helpful. “We had so many applicants this year that we ran out of forms in mid-January” was his answer. From that time on, he said, all applicants were told that students who had already applied were to be given “first consideration for the places available. ’ ’ London appeared surprised when told that students were relying on the April 1 deadline. “In late January,” he said, “we advised all applicants that the first 5,400 students to apply were in a preferred position. ’ ’ This notice was distributed after the cutoff date had already been set. It was mailed to students who had already applied. London seemed unconcerned by the predicament in which the

students were placed. He explained that the deadline is really “April 1, or the date when sufficient applications have been accepted.” This statement, he said, is to be found in an Information Bulletin which was sent last November to admission officers, college registrars and high schools. It was not included in the faculty calendar, On March 17 three college registrars on campus were asked about the new deadline. All were unaware of the qualifying clause in the Information Bulletin. Each of them assumed that the deadline was April 1 and were surprised to hear that it wasn’t. In the notice that the Education faculty had sent out after the January cutoff date, students were advised to wait until more forms were printed. Some did as they

were told and finally received them in the early part of March. Others looked around for friends who had changed their mind about applying. If they found an unused form they asked for it, wrote in their name, and sent it to the faculty. Students who could not find an application easily, advertised in the student paper. Some students reputedly paid cash if they couldn’t obtain them in any other way. None realized the forms were numbered, and if the number didn’t tally with the name of the original applicant on the master list held at the faculty, they would be automatically rejected without notice. There is no statement in the faculty calendar which indicates that forms are not transferable. “Next year,” Dean London has promised, “we will change- our procedures .”

dian Brotherhood of the Northwest Territories says the Canadian government is being pressured into beginning the Mackenzie project early by US interests. The charge follows a strongly-worded speech by Buchanan in Yellowknife February 13, in which he accused the Dene people of stalling on their land claims presentation to the government. Buchanan threatened to cut government funding for the Brotherhood’s land claims research. Now, the Indian Brotherhood says the date given to them by Buchanan as a deadline closely approximates that which certain

US business interests have set as a final decision date on whether the pipeline will be constructed or not. At press time, no further details were available. Construction on the pipeline is due to start in 1977, if everything goes according to schedule. But the government was dealt a blow recently by a Supreme Court decision disqualifying former chairman Marshal Crowe from presiding over the National Energy Board hearings on the project, due to a possible conflict of interest. The NEB hearings, which have taken five months so far, will now have to be restarted from scratch.

of the Federation of Wood and Building Workers Union of the Confederation des Syndicats Nationaux (CSN-CNTU), walked out after their contract expired last summer demanding the abolition of the “incentive” wage system in their new contract. Under the incentive wage system, workers are paid a base rate for normal levels of production and i-eceive bonuses for speeding UP. The CSN and the Vilas workers wanted the system abolished because speed-ups lead to accidents, particularly among older workers in the woodcutting section of the plant, and create intolerable working conditions. -The workers, who earned an average of $2.80 per hour plus about $1.00 on the incentive system, demanded a straight hourly rate bringing wages to-about $5.60 over two years. The Vilas company, however, a subsidiary of Molson’s Companies Ltd. and the largest furniture manufacturer in Quebec, remained intransigent and refused to abolish the incentive system, arguing it was “normal” for the industry, as

was the plant’s high accident record. In November a boycott of Molson’s brewery products was called in Cowansville district about 30 miles south-west of Montreal, and by January the boycott became Quebec-wide as the CNTU, the QFL, the teacher’s union, and other organizations backed the boycott. But the Vilas workers voted 116-89 at a special meeting March 17 to drop their demand for an abolition of the incentive system and accepted the company’s offer made last November, as amended on the recommendation of a special government conciliator. Union negotiator Carol Jobin explained that the workers went back because they feared the Molson’s and Vilas management “would close down the company completely if the strike continued” as they repeatedly threatened to do. The offer they accepted increases the basic rate to $4.30 over three years, and maintains the incentive plan, which affects about two-thirds of the workers in the plant.

WINNIPEG (CUP) -The recommendations from a recent report by the committee on priorities at the University of Manitoba may mean the end of the universities intercollegiate sports program. One of the committee’s recommendations was to eliminate the travel budget for intercollegiate sports over the next three years. According to the university’s intercollegiate athletics director Henry Janzen, removing the travel budget will kill the program. “Travel is the very essence of the intercollegiate program,” he said. Sixty percent of the program’s present $104,000-budget is allocated for travel. According to the Priorities Committee report, “it is doubtful, however, if the benefit to the university community as a whole justifies the amount spent on travelling. ’ ’ The death of intercollegiate travel and competition, Janzen said, would be a definite blow to the university’s reputation. The University of Winnipeg has only one fifth of the U of M’s enrolment, he said, and yet they spend nearly as much as the U of M does even though it participates in twice as many sports. Over 4000 signatures have already been gathered on a petition supporting intercollegiate travel. The Athletic Council, and the Physical Education Student Council are also asking that the recommendation be deleted from the Priorities Committee report. The university senate has still to consider the report.

OTTAWA (CUP)-The United Farm Workers have signed contracts wi!h lettuce producers in and announced a California, boycott of Sunmaid Raisins, in retaliation for that company’s success in blocking funds for the operation of the Agricultural Labor Relations Act. The first UFW contracts with the Inter-Harvest Co. Inc. and the Salinas Marketing Co-operative, both large lettuce producers, provide for: a minimum wage of $3.10 an hour, the highest farm labor wage in the United States; a union hiring hall, replacing the labor contractor system; job security and protection against mechanization; strict control on the use of pesticides and other strong safety and health standards; medical and retirement benefits; and an education fund. Early last month, work of the

Agricultural Labor Relations Board was halted by the failure of the California legislature to vote the necessary funds to continue its operations until July 1, the balance of the fiscal year. A coalition of Republicans and farm-belt Democrats opposed the measure, endorsed by Governor Edmund G. Brown. Chief among the opponents of the measure to maintain the ALRB were the Sunmaid Raisin Growers of California. The UFW warned that a boycott would follow. As of February 6, the UFW had won 210 certification elections, to represent close to 30,000 workers. The Teamsters have won 107 elections, covering 12,724 workers; and “no union” was the outcome in 24 elections.

During the winter, Westinghouse says, the heat pump would extract heat from the 8,000 gallons, slowly turning the water to ice, while using the siphoned off energy to heat the house. In the summer, the pump would run backwards, drawing heat out of the house into the water tank and gradually melting the giant ice cube to cool the house. Westinghouse says that the “ice-cube” system would use 50 per cent less energy than the conventional method of heating and air conditioning homes today.

candidates. As in controllmg huge corporations, in which owning 5-10% of the stock is usually sufficient for effective control, controlling interest does not mean footing the bill. -Nor does it generally mean that one wealthy individual puts in enormous sums of money. It means seed money at the- right time. It means a lot of $SOO-$1000 contributions from thousands of individual capitalists (new federal regulations restrict individuals’ donations to $1000 per-candidate). It means throwing campaign dinners where additional unrecorded cash contributions can flow freely. It means having plentiful reserves able to be pumped into a campaign at a moment’s notice if it seems necessary. (In 1968, a mere 43 people lent Hubert Humphrey $3.6 million for a last minute television blitz). It means making available to candidates company planes, advertising materials and other costly resources. Of course, within the monopoly class there are many disagreements ,about whom to support and what policies to advance. The interests and the opinions of the class are far from monolithic. There are two huge financial groups that muster the most dominant influence on American politics: (1) those financial, industrial, transportation and utility companies in which the Morgan family has controlling influence; and (2) those companies in which the Rockefeller family has controlling interest. The former include, for example, U.S. Steel, GE. IBM, Kennecott Copper, Prudential Insurance, First Pennsylvania Banking- and Trust, Philadelphia Electric; the latter, Standard Oil (of,N.J., Indiana, Ohio and California), Westinghouse, Eastern Airlines, Chase Manhattan Bank, American Express. Sometimes companies .are under the shared control of more than one group. Besides the two behemoths, there are a number of smaller but still multi-billion dollar groups, including the duPont group, the Mellon group (which includes Gulf), the First National City Bank group (including Boeing, Anaconda) and others. Different groups tend to support slightly different political tendencies, although shifting, intermarriages and collusion and contention occur continuously. The Pews (Sun Oil), the duPonts’and a smaller group in Los Angeles locally known as the “Reagan group” (Litton Industries, Union Oil) tend, for example, to support the most rightwing candidates. Policy-making in the interests of these financial groups is hammered out within a number of elite councils, committees and think-tanks to which all the tendencies within the ruling class contribute their experts and money. There is considerable debate within these elite bodies. But all of it is of the nature of disagreements on which policies will best serve the interests of monopoly capitalism. Some of these groups pose as “middle class” bodies by bringing in professors and other experts not tied to the highest circles of capital. But all those that are influential are dominated by men who speak directly for the interests of the giant corporations. On foreign policy, some of these bodies are: the Council on Foreign Relations, a “nonpartisan research and discussion in the 1960s 12 of the grow, ” whichincluded 20 Rockefeller Foundation trustees, 10 of the 15 Ford and 10 of the 14 Carnegie-it is considered as the single most important link between the corporations and the government; the Committee for Economic Development; the RAND Corporation; the Trilateral Commission; and many smaller bodies located at the elite universities, such as the MIT ’ Center for International Studies. All these bodies are fed by money from the large corporations usually funneled through their tax-deductible foundations. In social legislation, the most powerful bodies are the National Industrial Conference Board (closely linked to the archconservative National Association of Manufacturers; the Committee for Economic Development; the National Planning? Association, rind the (more liberal) Twentieth Century Fund .) It is difficult to track exactly which bodies and which people within those bodies advise each of the various candidates in their

policy-making. The candidates, after all, don’t talk much about these relationships with monopoly capitalist policy formulating bodies. And when they do, they try not to be too explicit or revealing as to their true nature. After all, they want to remain credible as “candidates of the people.” Who

advises whom?

However, recently some of the foreign policy advisors of the major candidates have become public. Simply from these names, one can begin to see the ties these candidates have to the monopoly class. Jimmy Carter gets his foreign policy guidancefrom the Trilateral Commission and principally from one of its directors, Zbigniew Brzezinski, a Columbia University * professor. Carter himself served on the commission a few years ago. Among the 60 Americans on the commission are board members of Chase Manhattan, Morgan Guaranty Trust, Bank of America and many -other giant companies representing most of the major financial groups. Brzezinski also used to be a consultant for RAND. He is the author off‘ ‘The Permanent Purge-Politics in Soviet Totalitarianism” (1956). Jackson’s principal advisor is LucianPye, an MIT professor who is a director of the Council on Foreign Relations, has been on the National Security Council since 1968 and is a board member of the Social Science Research Council and Asia Foundation (both Ford-funded). Sometimes he consults as well with James Schlesinger (see below). Udall’s leading foreign policy advisor is W. Averill Harriman. Harriman is a partner in Brown Brothers Harriman Co., a powerful private bank that has one of the 10 largest trust departments on Wall Street, has many connections with the Rockefellers, shares attorneys with the Morgans and has substantial holdings in dozens of companies including Anaconda, Union Pacific, A T & T and Columbia Broadcasting. Harriman was Truman’s Secretary of Commerce and former New York governor. Reagan’s principal advisor is James Schlesinger, former senior staff member of the RAND Corporation, former CIA director, former board member of the University of Pennsylvania Foreign Policy Research Institute and former Secretary of Defense. Reagan also consults with his finance director Justin Dart of Dart Industries, which is part of the most reactionary wing of Southern California capital (Union Oil, Litton Industries, Lockheed, etc.). Gerald Ford has turned principally to Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, long tied to the Rockefeller family. Kissinger has been a Council on Foreign Relations member since . 1957-8, when as a young protege of McGeorge Bundy at Harvard he was asked by CFR to head one of their “study groups.” George Wallace has refused to reveal his major foreign policy advisors. He maintains that he does his own thinking and is a homegrown populist with a red, white and blue isolationist bent. However, he told Business Week (Feb. 23) that after touring Europe last summer he decided “there is an advantage in some ways to world stability in the existence of multinationals. ’’ In recent weeks, Ford and Carter have forged ahead in the primary races. Jackson has made some gains. Reagan is nearly dead. This represents not so much the “will of the people” becoming manifest, as the bourgeois press would like to portray it, but the will of the middle bastion of monopoly capital-mainly the Rockefeller and Morgan groups and the First National City group-becoming manifest. The financial powers that control this country want a “moderate” candidate to win in 1976. They will listen to “public opinion” to a certain extent: letting the public choose which of the already acceptable candidates should be, as the best vote-getter, given the final “push.” Smaller, more reactionary segments of .monopoly capital are behind Reagan and Wallace. But the financial giants, at least at this point, donlt want one of these “extremists” to win. They are afraid of Reagan and Wallace’s budget slashing and triggerhappy foreign policies will endanger monopoly capitalism. The major financial groups will settle for Ford, Jackson or Carter-or unannounced Hubert Humphrey. 0

Mr, PrimeCabinet:

Minister

and Members . ’

of the ,

On October 13, 1975, your government embarked upon an anti-inflation programme. which, in the history of Canada, is unparalleled in its callous and brutal treatment of all who must toil for a living. It is a policy which was ill-conceived and implemented with haste; it is a policy which is devoid of any sympathy or understanding for the common man; and it is a policy which destroys the .fundamental rights and freedoms of the yast majority of Canadians in the name of political expediency. Your government has done what no other government of this country has, been willing . to do. It has legislated a programme which pits one group against another. _ It divides the Canadian community along class- lines with the -employers and government ranged against the workers and their organizations. For its sheer destructiveness of social, economic and political freedoms throughout the Canadian community, this action of your government is unequalled in the- history of our, country. The Congress would remind. your government that it was elected on a platform of outright opposition to wage and price controls . Mr. Prime Minister, you were quoted on February 28, 1974 as havingStated that: “Income controls risk hurting the small and the poor more than they do the big and the rich; and while that _ may be of minor concren to the more conservative governments and political parties, it is of ‘great and fundamental concern to this government.” By invoking your anti-inflation programme your government has degraded the poXtica1 process inCanada and spread cynicism among the public about the government and politics in general. This programme stands as a monument to the greatest political turnabout in the history of Canadian politics. . Furthermore, your government stands . condemned by its own actions which havet demonstrated that it no longer is concerned about the “small and the, poor”. Indeed, your allegiance i?to the “big and the rich” for again, by your own admittance controls cause less hurt to the wealthy and powerful than to the poor and the weak.. . .

The Cinny Lee memorial fund under the board of external relations is an accumulating fund into which the federation contributes each year.

Travel under the board of publication’s budget is used to pay for the transport of copy down to the printers,when the chevron is put toget&r in the earlier hours of Wednesday and Thursday mornings. The subsidy is the most important figure, throughout the budget, since that is the actual amount used to finance the boards’ operations. It is the allocation minus the revenue.

Reprinted below are the details of how your money is going to be allocated within the ?976-77 federation budget. The budget is divided into eight sections. There is the administration section which basically includes all the administrative details which keep the organi: sation alive. The other seven sections outline the fodder which will sustain each\ of the federation’s boards. In order to help you weave yoyr way through Ihe figures some of the classifications are explained below. An honoraria is genera//y about $300 given to board chairpersons each year in payment for the time they devote. In the administration budget, the funds slotted-for NUS and OFS are to send delegates to conferences and perhaps to conduct surveys which might be required. The vice-president’s discretionary fund is a first for this budget, and is designed to allow the VP some initiative in organising eventsi or taking support action. The buses listed under the board of co-op services are those vehicles which quickly transport students to Toronto eat h weekend. On the board of communications budget the central information collection includes $75 a term which is-paid to someone who visits campus groups and informs them of the services available from the board. The person is also expected to keep a record of what is happening on campus. The $875 in information distribution is to cover the

This contrast is clearly illustrated phrenic in nature. in the latest round of Cockburn While he retained some of the concerts, when he performs the simple, -acoustic arrangements starkly beautiful “Thoughts On A which dominated his first three solo Rainy Afternoon” from the first efforts, the production of Night solo LP, in the context of the brand Vision revealed a more complex, and often more melodic side of new tunes; and even more disturbing in the light of past accomplishCockburn’s musical abilities.

Face two is simply the best side of music Cockburn has put together since Night Vision. Aside from the largely unexceptional “Arrows of Light”, all of the cuts are characterized by a rich sense of melody and imaginative arrangement. The sing-along concert favourite, “Burn”, is treated’ to, a simple live-sounding production, while the delightful instrumental “Skylarking” features Cockburn’s impeccable musicians hip. However it is the superb “A LongTime-Love Song” and the following dynamic “Life Story” which stands out as this side’s most memorable moments. The former is the most melodic and touching tune that he has written in years, while the introduction to the latter brings back memories of “Deja Vu”. “Life Story” consists of three stanzas whose closing lines all parallel the development of civilization with the life of Christ; the entire lyrical content of the song is totally successful on the expression of swift and violent movement: “Sky-wild/Far cry/ Wing-slash-free. . .” The instrumentation, particularly Cockbum’s ele& tric guitar, and his break-neck paced acoustic runs are outstanding, reinforcing Cockbum’s status as a brilliant all-round’musician. Despite

flaws, Joy LP, and will undoubtedly more than please all Cockburn fans. In concert, Cockbum continues to present a strong show. However, the selections which he performs are now more balanced between vocal and instrumental, and a piece called “Spirits.“, which is performed with only minimal percussion as accompaniment, is downright embarassing, while the powerful “Gavin’s Woodpile” is weakened both by its rambling quality and its length. His best new song, the charming “Little Seahorse”, was inspired by a surprise announcement, and ‘ ‘Festival of Friends” is effectively intimate. I would still love to see Cockburn in front of a small band that would enable him to perform a wider variety of songs, but Cockburn alone is certainly better than no Cockburn at all, and he is always more than worth the price of admission.

and-a-half year old whore is equally believable despite the fact that the idea of a twelve-and-a-half year old being a whore is somewhat abrasive to our consciousness. Yet “Taxi Driver” implies the limitations to this kind of in-depth character portrayal. The film characters are vivid enough that it is tempting to make judgements about real people we encounter on the street based on conclusions we derive from the film. The only way to avoid this trap is to have an understanding of the background to these characters. What are the particular social and economic structures of New York City which confine people to the choices of action presented by the film? What is the context of-this violence and destruction? Has it always been in that city? Has it any relationship to the psychic violence done to people in their experience of the “false promises” of North America’s affluent ideology? Both “Taxi Driver” and “Death Wish” lack any historical or structural context which might give us clues as to how such shitty conditions develop. They prefer, rather to lay the blame squarely on the shoulders of those who people the streets, from the kids who throw eggs at cars to the blacks and hippies who rob stores or make do by pimping. We end up feeling that there is no hope for these people; they are the dregs of society, they are-better off dead than alive and perpetrating their corruptions. In “Taxi Driver”, New York is shown only to be a hell, pure and simple, and a shallow, unalterable hell at that. There is nothing in the setting of this film that we can grasp and change or even experiment with. Given such an unmalleable background, our only hope is to either accept or reject the film’s individuals; for they are all that is variable in the film. And this choice usually means eradicating the bad guys, an action made all the more enticing by the use of graphic, bloody excitement. The tragicomic heroes we end up forgiving, for somehow all their viciousness / has served a useful purpose, and, after all, the movie proves them to be only human. It’s obvious that the makers of films like these are not involved or even interested in the more constructive activities that do exist within even the most decrepit areas of cities. No where in these films do we see any indication that there are even attempts at selfhe,lp: tenants’ ’ groups, black people’s organizations, food cocontinued

But anyone -with more than a consumG’s or spectator’s experience of big city life can’t helpbut see that these other things are happening. Perhaps these other elements of urban life are missing because they are not the stuff that makes drama and bucks (at least, not in the hands of unperceptive and un-innovative directors and producers) or perhaps the one dimensionality of these films is intended to produce particular moral conclusions: the necessity of a direct and severe punishment for society’s offenders . Even if this is not the conscious conclusion of the film ‘producers,shouldn’t they be responsible for clearing up such ambiguities?

Book review

Struggle to victor-y ‘ ‘Angolans did not suffer the excruciating centuries of colonialism and the horrors of the most recent fifteen years of continued colonial war to be subjected again to the iron fist rule of people who do not truly represent them. Angolans will never again submit to the domination of people they see as enemies, whether they be domestic or foreign. Neither UNITA, MPLA, FNLA nor South Africa, nor the powerful Soviet Union and America can defeat the will of the Angolan people to be free. All forces must come to recognize, as UNITA always has, the limits of military force and work for a political solution to Angola’s crisis, that is, an Angolan Government of National Unity.” This call for a government of national unity was given by UNITA, the only movement that had held

vast liberated areas and had opted to direct its operations from inside Angola itself. It was given after the defeat of the Portuguese Colonialists and the need to set up a transitional government arose. The roots of the Angolan conflict and the present issues in Angola are clarified by a pamphlet published by the Norman Bethune Institute entitled UNITA: The People’s Struggle

Until Victory.

UNITA was founded on March 13,1966 in response to the need for a new strategy in combating the Portuguese. Rather than concentrating the resources of a movement on international support (and manipulation) it proposed self reliance. And rather than operating from foreign bases, it set up headquarters and leadership inside the country where the leadership was in constant contact with the people

Goebbels: creating national Gsebbels Viktor Reimann $14.50, 352 pp. What changed a man from a youthful intellectual with an interest in Marxism and in poetry and with a half-Jewish fiancee into a crusader for Nazism, at least partially responsible for the inhuman pogrom of the Kristallnacht, whose smouldering body lay in the end beside that of Hitler? This question arises again and again in this study by Viktor Reimann, subtitled “The Man Who Created Hitler”. And in tracing the rise of Paul Joseph Goebbels from physically weak and crippled child to Reich minister of propaganda, Reimann also looks at the rise of the Third Reich and of its fuehrer, Adolf Hitler. “Hitler was the product of an atmosphere of doom: God was dead or dying, and the West was about to perish. The authoritarian structures of the German Empire were gone, and new ones had not yet been formed: Chaos seemed about to descend.. . “In this period of apocalyptic dusks and dawns, Hitler made his appearance, and Goebbels transformed him into a Lohengrin figure. ’ ’ So begins the introduction to Goebbels, in which Reimann outlines the development of the Hitler myth which was Goebbels’ greatest masterpiece of propaganda: the ability to take an Austrian corporal and house painter and transform him before the eyes of the German people into a Wagnerian hero. But what of Goebbels? How was he able to accomplish this feat and why did he make himself Hitler’s slave? Born into a petit bourgeois family, Goebbels was given a good education eventually receiving a doctorate. He wanted to become a journalist, but his repeated applications for a position on the daily Berliner Tageblatt were turned down, and his first novel, Michael, was rejected by publishers. Germany was m the middle of a period of great economic and political upheaval following the end of WWI and the Treaty of Versailles, and Goebbels began to involve himself in politics, both of the left and of the right. Although his first sympathies seem to have lain with Lenin and the Bolsheviks (“ . . .we look toward Russia because she is the

most likely to show us the way to socialism”), Goebbels began to be turned toward the NSDAP (Nazi party). The conversion was complete when he met Hitler and, in his words, “I love him.” Appointed gauleiter of Berlin by Hitler, Goebbels began for the first time to devote his full energies toward propaganda and organization. And in the seven years between 1925 and 1932, Goebbels managed to raise the support of the NSDAP in Berlin from 137 votes to 863,621, for the first time defeating the communists in what was called the “reddest city after Moscow.” Following Hitler’s accession to power in 1933, he kept his promise to Goebbels and appointed him minister of propaganda, a post he would hold to the end. Reimann, a journalist who was arrested by the Nazis in 1940 and’ imprisoned until the end of the war, follows the changes of Goebbel’s character in microscopic detail. Working from Goebbel’s own diaries and letters and from sources among those close to him, Reimann follows Goebbels’ metamorphosis from left-leaning liberal to confirmed national socialist and antiSemite. Goebbels seems in everything to have modeled himself after his idol, Hitler, even going so far as to copy his preferences, and more sinister, his prejudices. He regulated the arts after Hitler’s primitive tastes, and supported, even encouraged, the persecution and murder of Jews because anti-Semitism was an article of faith for national socialists . He had prostrated himself before Hitler and, in the end, he had to die with him because he seems to have believed in the myth which he, himself, created: Hitler is Germany and without him nothing is left. Why did Goebbels so dedicate his life to one who turned out to be a murderer and a madman? Why did he in every case attempt to cover for Hitler, taking blame on himself to preserve the pure and blameless image of Hitler which he had himself created and of which he had convinced most, if not all, of Germany? Why did he suddenly swing to embrace beliefs and values diametrically opposed to his own? Reimann raises all of these questions in Goebbels, and, in the end, it is clear that “the man who created Hitler” was himself created by Hitler. -henry

w they served. These two principles clearly distinguished UNITA from the MPLA. By being among the peasants, UNITA came to grasp their problems and needs. Liberated areas would be used as bases for training and attack on the Portuguese instead of attacking from across the border then retreating to leave the peasants (who were fixed on their land) to “suffer unaided, vicious Portuguese reprisals”. Because of these principles UNITA was able to mobilize massive popular support particularly in the rural areas. After the April 25, 1974 coup in Portugal, the Portuguese showed a willingness to negotiate with the Angolans for decolonization. The only block to that had been the disunity among the three liberation movements and open factional feuds within MPLA itself. UNITA played an instrumental role in reconciling the other two movements (MPLA and FNLA) and in bringing them to the Mombassa conference where the historic Alvor Agreement was worked out and signed on January 15, 1975 by the three liberation movements and Portugal. Among other things the-Alvor Agreement called for the total independence of Angola, established a transitional government whit h would rule the country until the date of total independence on Nov. 11, 1975, and set up general elections to determine the power transfer to the three liberations movements. The pamphlet UNITA: The People’s

Struggle

Until

Victory

traces how the Soviet Union (when it became apparent that UNITA would win the general elections), in order to obtain access to Africa by controlling one of its potentially richest countries, sabotaged the in-

dependence and the success of the transitional government. During the fourteen year war against the Portuguese, the Soviet Union invested a total of less than two million pounds sterling a year in aid to the MPLA. This sum could be more than halved when one reckons the amounts paid out in bribes, propaganda and military hardware aimed at discrediting or physically eliminating all those liberation movements which were fighting for African independence, and liberation outside of the grasp of the Soviet Union. Why then after

the defeat of the Portuguese, when the Angolan parties were supposedly preparing for democratic elections, did the Soviet Union spend over sixty million pounds sterling to aid MPLA? Today, that figure hovers well over 100 ($250) million. It was after an African victory was declared over the Portuguese colonialists that the Soviet Union began to arm MPLA and that 15,000 Cuban soldiers invaded with their ‘ ‘un-battle scarred tanks”. Many supporters of Soviet social-imperialism give the line that the Soviet Union entered Angola to “liberate” it. But the question to be asked is why then didn’t the Soviet Union and its puppet government in Cuba send in troops against the Portuguese colonialists and “liberate” it then? The pamphlet documents how MPLA initiated attack upon attack on UNITA such as June 4, 1975, where women and children who had been attending classes in a UNITA office in Luanda were killed and maimed. After similar provocations, UNITA convened the Nakuru summit conference where an agreement was signed (a reminder to the Alvor agreement) calling for ‘ ‘an effective ceasefire, peace, tolerance and realization of elections and cessation of all acts of .provocation’ ’ . The agreement was broken three weeks later and with increased MPLA attacks on UNITA; UNITA was forced to enter the civil war. Many reporters have attempted

44 King St. S.

to distort UNITA by claiming it to be “pro-Western”, “CIA backed”, “allied with South Africa” and “anti communist”. These lies are perpetuated by MPLA-Soviet-Cuban propaganda based in Luanda, where the majority of the reporters stay. Few reporters have sought out the truth but instead relied on these sources. Like many other liberation movements, UNITA’s statements have been ignored or misquoted and distorted. UNITA has continuously denied all these reports and its practice disproves all these lies beyond a shadow of a doubt. There are lessons to be learnt from these distortions, as there were to the lies floated about Vietnam and Cambodia: the U.S’s and the Soviet Union’s propaganda machines are only a reflection of the societies, ranging from the “so-called liberal to outright fascist.” The pamphlet UNITA: The People’s Struggle Until Victory also explains the game played by the racist and fascist state of South Africa in upholding the rumour that it supports UNITA. South Africa’s most persistent military threat has been the attacks by the South West African People’s Organization (SWAPO) against the South African occupation of Namibia. SWAP0 has over 3,000 guerrillas encamped in UNITA bases in southern Angola and the long cooperation between the two liberation movements has forced Vorster’s racist regime to attempt the destruction of both liberation movements at the same time. The pamphlet makes it clear why MPLA and South Africa would perpetrate this lie even though President Jonas Savimbi has repeatedly called on all African nations who are earnestly- concerned about removing South Africa from Angolan soil to “act jointly in tackling this menace”. UNITA has always stood for a genuine and total independence, they have always opposed any foreign intervention, they have encontinued

ltls social practice t that anyone It is unfortunate

who has been around the campus for so long should be so confused about the aims of the AntiImperialist Alliance,, as Terry Moore seems to be. He thinks that AIA is “interested in building unity with others who share an anti-capitalist perspective”. What AIA is interested in, as history has shown, is unity in action against monopoly capitalism. That is, AIA is not much interested in anyone’s “perspective”, but, rather, in their social practice. AIA is not a debating society-which some may regard as unfortunate-but a communist organization led by the party of the proletariat, the Communist Party of Canada (Marxist-Leninist), whose eventual aim is to overthrow the capitalist system and establish a socialist society under the dictatorship of the proletariat. As a communist organization, AIA is interested in social practice based on the present contradictions in the capitalist system. It is pretty clear to anyone who does the meanest amount of investigation that Canada is controlled politically and economically (politics is just the concentrated expression of economics) by U.S. imperialism. The main contradiction in Canada today is between the Canadian working class and people, on one hand, and U.S. imperialism on the other. It might be useful here to explain once more what is meant by the “Canadian working class and people” since John Boyle wants to be so confused on this point. Mao Tsetung explains in ‘ ‘Correct Handling of Contradictions Among the People” that “the concept of ‘the people’ varies in content in different countries and in different periods of history in the same country”, but basically “the people” is comprised of all those in a given country who can be untied against the main enemy at that time. In Canada today, given the main contradiction of U.S. imperialism, the people means any and all whose interests are antagonistic to U.S. imperialism and who will unite against it. By definition, that is the whole of the working class plus sections of the petit bourgeoisie (farmers, ~fishermen, professionals such as intellectuals, etc.) and the non-monopoly capitalists who come over to the side of the working class.through their recognition that it is’in their interests to do so. Back to those with an anti-capitalist persVarious groups in Canada, in a pective”. variety of revolutionary guises, including and “genuine anarcho-syndicalism, Marxism-Leninism”, say that the main contradiction is between the private ownership of the means of production and the socialised nature of production, or between capital and labour, or between bourgeoisie and proletariat. What these groups confuse (some deliberately and others by honest error) is that this contradiction is an inherent and constant contradiction in the capitalist system but it is only one of four main contradictions in the age of imperialism. Most important, it is not the main contradiction which most directly applies in Canada today.

Talking about an “anti-capitalist perspective” is just subterfuge for ignoring the main enemy of the Canadian people and refusing to engage in social practice against its interests. Instead, those groups fantasize about a mass vanguard which will arise spontaneously, without conscious leadership, without discipline and without revolutionary violence. This spontaneous mass uprising will somehow miraculously take hold of the state machine, will withstand and overcome the sophisticated and highly organized and trained army, police, etc. Once having performed this miracle, the working class will wield pow.er and the capitalists will just wither away. Nirvana at last! There exist a number of variations on this general theme, ranging from revisionism (the peaceful road to socialism), social democracy (class collaboration where the. ’

“socialists” and the capitalists work out reforms in a gentlemanly fashion), anarchosyndicalism (described in essence above), not to mention other counter-revolutionary trends which reach their zenith in Trotskyism. These various “tendencies”, do their utmost to mystify Marxism (enter Jim Harding) by making it into some kind of intellectual game, rather than a guide to action and a method for analyzing the concrete conditions in this world. They are exposed not only by their theoretical concoctions but where it counts, in social practice of which they either have none or, if they have any, it is only to divert the communist movement. They. invariably hate Lenin, and particularly Stalin; that is, they fear the party concept and they unite withevery bourgeois and communist detractor devoted to villifying Stalin. All this hysteria about Stalin is simply an effort to hide the fact that he was in the process of consolidating the victories of socialism in the Soviet Union until his death in 1953. They are remorseful of the fact that Lenin put Marxism into practice by leading the Russian Revolution of 1917 and they are even more remorseful over the fact that socialism (the period of transition to communism) made great strides under Lenin and Stalin, proving that it is only under the leadership of a communist party that socialism is possible. They are forced, of course, to make noises in support of the People’s Republic of China, but in practice they offer all kinds of wild interpretations and criticize China by every back door method. Terry Moore is extremely offended about the name calling which was in my attack against “wages for schoolwork”. At the same time, he says he “can appreciate the importance of vigorously attacking ideas with which one does not agree”. Then who does he attack? He only lends his pen to attacking the ideas of the Marxist-Leninists, rather than wages for schoolwork. And this is done in the name of the “left”. The difference between the so called “leftists” and the Marxist-Leninists (as well as honest individuals who despise class oppression under capitalism) is that the “left” wishes class struggle were polite, genteel and reasonable. That is, they have no class hatred for the ruling class and they find the only possible character of class struggle distasteful. They’d like their version of revolution to be carried on according to Robert’s Rules. They are more concerned with not calling a dog a dog than they are with overthrowing the class rule of the bourgeoisie. I’d recommend that they refresh their notion of class struggle by reading the Communist Manifesto by Karl Marx, or by working a day or two at Burns or Simpson Sears or Stelco. Being outside the communist movement and being interested only in attacking it, rather than working out their differences through unity of action on various issues, they don’t understand that characters like Tim Grant are inconsequential, mere pinpricks, to borrow an apt phrase from a friend I lost to anti-communism, they are just “worms in the pockets of the people”. The point in attacking Grant is to oppose his political line, which is the concentrated expression of an ill-begotten idea that has some currency in certain circles. The combination of AIA’s social practice and these ideological debates, have won over many people who have genuine sentiment for fundamental social change who had previously grouped around such erroneous political lines. These gains in the currency of communist lines is what inspires Jim Harding to claim that CPC(M-L) is “quickly being discredited across Canada and that other Marxian, Leninist and socialist tendencies are developing as alternatives to it. ’ ’ This is simply a dream. The fact is that the communist movement led by CPC(M-L) is growing at a rate which must disturb his sleep. He is, however, correct in one sense. All kinds of “alternatives” are indeed springing up in opposition to CPC(M-L), and if he ever

reads the history of the communist movement in Canada as elsewhere, he will understand why. Whenever communism has been on the rise, opportunist groups come up to divert the people. These, of course, call I themselves “socialist”. Perhaps he has heard of Proudhon, Trotsky, Bakunin, Kautsky, Bernstein, J.S. -Woodsworth, et.al. When he is not writing philosophical treatises on sexuality and mouthing claptrap about “authoritarianism in the workplace”, he will perhaps dare to step into the struggles which are going on here and thereby discover the extent of currency, which MarxismLeninism has on this campus. In any case, he can take his time because the influence of AIA will only grow in the meantime, as it has steadily grown over these past two year. I should add, for Terry Moore’s sake, that the AIA will never degenerate into a caricature of Marxism for the sake of some “potential supporters”. What is most pernicious about all the authors of these attacks is that they consider themselves part of the.left, yet at the same time they ignore most issues of fundamental concern to the people of Canada and the world, and confuse those issues they latch onto. For example, where are they when the racist and fascist Green Paper on Immigration needs attacking? Where are they when leaders of national liberation struggle in the Third World come to this campus in seek of support? Where are they when any informational forums on China are held? Where are they when Trudeau’s wage control programme is being attacked? Where are they when public study groups are held on basic Marxist principles and an analysis of Trudeau’s economic policies? Where are they when the students of UW are working out the kind of federation they want? Every one of the 770 students who chose a fighting federation by voting for Phil Femandez in the February election is more progressive in practice than these “leftists”. So where can the “left” be found? Getting into reform of civic politics, struggles against work collectives, etc. AIA’s attackers, so .fond of accusing it of sectarianism, never miss an opportunity to ignore anything of significant political content so long as it is organized by the AIA. In conclusion, it is an excellent situation when all kinds of “leftists” leap out to attack CPC(M-L) and any organization which it leads. Nothing could -be more indicative of AIA’s success! Jim Harding is now proposing “public debate of the problems of Marxism-Leninism, in advanced capitalism” (notice “problems” and “advanced capitalism”-1 wonder if he means imperialism?) This is the first time in two years he’s screwed up such courage. Alas, he must not want much of an audience for the debate, since he picks the last week of the term to issue the challenge. A footnote to Wolfgang E. Weick: As far as I know, Chairman Mao doesn’t do the hiring of university professors, but if he did I have no doubt that he wouldn’t hire ‘ ‘capitalistic roaders”. In any case, the people of China decide who will be professors, and they make the decision in their own interest. The People’s Republic of China is a dictatorship of the proletariat andthere is no quarter for those who seek to revive the exploitation of the many by the few, that is, restore capitalism. But the Chinese at least do not attempt to camouflage the nature of their society. The same cannot be said for bourgeois “democracy” which feigns freedom and practices exploitation and oppression.

Racism slammed This letter is in response to Mark Buck’s, Micheal Rumack’s and J. Patterson’s letters in the Mar. 19 chevron. Buck begins by asserting that anyone who opposes the racist state of Isreal and upholds the just cause of the Palestinians is lying or basing a point of view on lies. ,

april 2, 1976

He quotes some outright racist who says that “lying is a widespread habit among the Arabs and they have a low idea of the truth”. This clearly exposes the racist ideas pushed by the Zionists. Compare this view with the argument that blacks show a need to be dominated. This is the same type of racism ! Buck then resorts to Golda Meir’s autobiography to offer her concern on the “Palestinian problem” .- Well thank-you Mark Buck, but we already know Meir’s policy on the Palestinians-she simply believes they don’t exist; and as for your reference to the PaIestinian national convenant, may I suggest you read it first before concocting the lies you have written down. Micheal Rumackcalls the U.N. resolution a “Big Lie”, but apparently doesn’t know why as he never explains why Zionism isn’t racism. You see Mr. Rumack not everyone has been “bought” by the “Big Lie” except those who accepted the Zionist lies years ago and their numbers are dwindling. No rumors can change the nature of Israel nor of Zionism! Pattersons letter suffers from the same deficiency in that it lacks facts. No where does Patterson refute any of the statistics or any of the “assertions” which he found “factually incorrect”. Patterson believes that ‘.‘to acknowledge the technical errors. . . would be giving undue respect to Arab rhetoric.” I wonder if Patterson read the review as the book’s sources in the main are not Arab, but perhaps the reason he did not acknowledge the “technical errors” is because they were facts. His inability to refute any of them is the greatest respect to be given to. the just cause of the Palestinians ! Salah

Dr. Matthews, We, the students of HRCS 100, are writing in question of what we consider to be an arbitrary decision-the rehiring of Arthur Wiener versus the non-renewal of Marsha Forest’s contract. In our opinion this decision results in a loss of our freedom of choice concerning the subject matter we are exposed to, and who presents it to us. From our experience, Marsha offers interesting and controversial material, highly relevant to our lives in this society. Professor Wiener’s lectures, attended by few, appear to be lacking in these characteristics. Evidence also shows that Marsha is highly qualified academically, with greatly valuable experience behind her. As of yet, we have seen no such support for Professor Wiener. We would be grateful if you could answer the following questions we have concerning the cas,e: Why were we, the students, not consulted about the decision; and why was all previous student input ignored? In conclusion, we would like to be informed of the basis of your decision. Are we to assume that it was political? David Jean Margot Tony Donna Janet John

Wages for schoolwork I want to briefly respond to the questions about my article on wages for schoolwork, raised directly by Dave Spaetzel (Chevron, March 19) and informally by other students over the past two weeks. His letter in particular, raised important points which need to be answered if we are ‘going to be better able to defend ourselves against government cutbacks over the next few years. continued

Dave suggested that since there are many unemployed graduates now, it ,was inaccurate for me to argue that it is our future employers who are the real beneficiaries of the knowledge, technical skills, 5nd selfdiscipline that we acquire s during our twenty-odd years of schooling. He adds that if we were to win wages for schoolwork, more people would go to university which “would further saturate the already glutted job market for graduates”. He also points out that the government already pays the major portion of our education, and can ill afford to pay more. Although there are a great many unemployed graduates, we shouldn’t forget about the vast numbers of ex-high school and university students who do find employment, and whose vocational or scientific training and acquired self-discipline are appropriated by their employers at no expense. But even when we graduate from university and are unable to find jobs which we are qualified for, other employers and the-state still benefit greatly because our huge debts force us to quickly find other jobs which are often low-paying and un-skilled. Part of the graduate unemployment problem stems from the increasing reliance by employers on community college graduates instead of university grads. It seems that employers feel that .our labour is over-priced and that our skills are not related closely enough to their employment needs. As a result, the state has already begun to fit more closely the needs of the labour market. So the point if not that employers don’t benefit from our skills and self-discipline, but that they aren’t benefitting enough! This is what is meant by the crisis in education. Dave also argued that getting paid for going to school would lead to a further saturation of the graduate labour market. Well, most of us already find the labour market saturated, and with our huge debts, we enter the labour,market in a very weak position.‘ Winning wages for schoolwork would mean that without our debts (and possibly with some savings) we would enter in a strong position, being more able to pick and choose or even wait for the job we want. Dave is correct in saying that the state already pays a large amount of our education. Yet this huge capital outlay reflects how important they view the school system in ensuring that the varied needs of the labour market are met. The fact that we are not getting paid for the work we do in school only means that the state and th& employers are able to appropriate our skills and training very cheaply. In the article on wages for schoolwork, I tried to show how our lack of a wage has hidden the fact that we have been working For the state and our future employers while in school. Since they haven’t had to pay us for our schoolwork, they couldn’t care less how long it takes us to do it. This is why schoolwork seems so endless. But when we demand that we get wages for our work, we begin to make visible all the work we have been doing. For the first time, the question of how much schoolwork we will do for how much money becomes something we can struggle around. Since it if our future, employers who largely benefit from our work (i.e. training) in school, it is they who should pay. But since it is the state who organizes our work in school, and they are the only ones who can tax the employers-it is to them that we should direct the demand to receive wages for schoolwork. Tim

Journalistic practices This letter is in response-to the chevron’s presentation at the Federation’s council meeting of Sunday, March 28. During this meeting some questions were asked concerning a letter published in the chevron that week. That letter was the one written by Mark Smith: Apparently, when the letter was first sub-

mitted, it was signed by a Matthew Smith. ~Since the staff did not know of this person, either personally or through the Student Directory, the letter’was not published. It was assumed that the name Matthew Smith was a pseudonym because of this. Does this mean that if a person wishes to submit a letter to the Feedback section he/she must be known to the chevron staff or be listed in the Student Directory (whit h was not published this term, in violation of the By-laws)? A;s well, since when is it considered fair journalism to allow the author of an article, published in a previous issue, to respond to a feedback letter in the same issue as the letter was published? You discriminate against the ordinary writer to the paper. You allow, what I consider slanderous remarks, to go into the paper about various people on campus and these people have to reply in the next issue. They are not allowed to reply in the same issue as the remarks are made. Robert A. G. White 38 Mathematics, Computer Science *It is normal jouma listic practice to determine the identity of theauthor of a letter. After all, if he/she refuses to accept responsibility’ for his/her statements, why should we? If you sign your real name and a phone number where we can contact you then neither of your complaints should arise as your letter will be published promptly. -lettitor

Zionism distorted In responce to Salah Bachir’s reply to Owen Liebman’s reply to Salah Bachir’s book review of Zionism is Racism, Bachir manages to furthur distort the middle-east conflict into fairey-tale proportions. This is indeed unfortunate as it’s only purpose is altering history to justify the aims of the PLO. If Israel is to be considered a racist and fascist state (the boogy man in this story), what then is the PLO. The PLO and its member terrorist organizations do not represent the Palistineans and never did. PLO is a self-appointed organization, created originally by Arab rulers in 1964 at a Cairo Summit Conference. It prepared in 1964, and still adheres to “the Palestinean National Covenant”, which set forth its fundamental philosophy. The following is from the 1968 modified covenant. “Palistine is Arab” (Article 1). According to article 6, only Jews who lived permanently in Palistine prior to the “Zionist Invation” (defined by the Conference as 1917) are considered Palistinean. In light of this, one must surely be amazed by Bachir’s quote from Yassar Arafat’s 1974 speech to the U.N., “I proclaim before you that when we speak of tomorrow we include in our perspective all Jews now living in Palestine who choose to live with us there in peace and without discrimination.” But Arafat also states in the New Republic of May 16, 1970, “Peace for us means Israel’s destruction and nothing else.” Thelatter is more in keepingbwith the National Covenant’s flavor which states in Article 15, “The Zionist Invasion is to be repelled and Palestine is to be purified or purged from the Zionist presence.” Since few practical examples of living Jews who are definately not Zionists by PLO standards exist (with the possible exception of Marsha Forest), it remains a mystery to figure out the twisted logic behind Arafat’s offer of peace. It becomes evident that there is no logic and any distortion to justify the end is acceptable. Other examples can be found within the Covenant, as the humorous claim in Article 22 that Israel is a geographic base for world imperialism. It’s surprising that we are not told of an international Jewish Conspiracy. The democratic credentials of the Arab World in comparison are hardly impressive, and thanks to the recent PLO contributions in Lebanon, Israel is the only democracy in the Middle East. To alter Bachir’s quote; “This

type of reasoning and concoction of historical events by (Bachir) is characteristic of this racist movement and its ardent followers !” Terry

meeting ‘to show how the product has improved over the years’. Chief chevrot hack Docherty’s oral presentation was greeted with a warm round of indifference. My request for a written text and the formula by whit h he derived his ‘magic numbers’ was promptly ignored. I found it incredulous that I could have missed a phenomenal 50 per cent increase in campus news since my arrival in 1972 to Uniwat. Being one of the concerned and responsible council members dissatisfied with chevron performance to date, I found that ‘discretion was the better part of valour’ i.e. I thought the odds of winning a ‘shooting war’ against a numerically superior amorphous mass of humanity would be either slim or none. My strategy has just changed from laying a general siege to a preemptive strike stance, ready to launch a devastating assault when the odds are more amenable. Also since the chevron is the board of~publication’s baby, its chairman should get first crack at changing its diapers. What surprised me the most was that, immediately after council passed the‘board of publication’s budget i.e. chevron subsidy this homogeneous group, almost to a man, stormed out together. What a total lack of social grace! They could have at least dribbled out one at-a time or stayed on and been bored to death with the rest of council. It was mighty cheeky of them to pull this display of the best of electric running dog lacky imperialistic fascist traditions of ‘taking the money and run’! During fed flicks, in that boring interlude between admissionand the start of the movie, I fold pieces of it into a suitable aerodynamic shape and send pages of the chevron soaring onto even greaterjournalistic heights.

Km outraged with UW too! I, too, am outraged and disgusted with the continuing fascistic and reactionary denial of progressive and democratic thought on the part of the University of Waterloo’s administration, the renowned lackeys of the forces of suppression, who live as parasites on the vibrant and energetic body of the students here. Imagine my justified consternation when my proposal was turned down by those reactionaries ! I offered my services to begin a new and needed department called “Speech and Progressive Debate,” yet I was turned down flat. I had envisioned courses such as Intermediate and Advanced Name-calling, Techniques of Escape from Logical Deficiencies, Beginner’s Temper-tantrumology, Basic Illogic and Reductionism, Techniques of Crowd and Fact Manipulation, History and Theory ofProgressivist Foot-stomping, and a fourth-year seminar in Applied Journalistic Confusion Dissemination. The reactionary administration refused to accept my sterling curriculum vitae as evidence of my thorough preparation, as if a representative of the oppressed people must meet their fascist-derivated “standards” of educational background. (Imagine their impudence! They said I had taken no studies in Logic, Study and Use of Data, or Constructive Reasoning-as if progressive thinkers had any need of such trivial remnants of bourgeois idealism!) But my record is indeed distinguished: I hold honorary doctorates from the Universities of Hanoi and Havana, have analyzed in depth the methods of speech and debate in the progressive paradise of the People’s Republic of China, have published my results of such work in such important scholarly journals as Wield & Scream and The International Inquirer, and I have been convicted of “disturbing the peace” (the typical reactionary response to the upraised voice of the people) during a spontangous mass demonstration at which over 23 progressive thinkers turned out to show our united opposition to having to pay for refreshments at public sporting events (make the rich pay!). My attempt to serve in the noble venture described above has been thwarted,. supposedly because of lack of funds. But we all know the truth! May-the Chevron continue its glorious struggle for the students here at Uniwat, continuing to demonstrate its solid grasp of the techniques and skills of expression I outlined above, the type of speech and debate it has published all year!

Whimpering and wailing Just who isthis coagulated mass of protoplasm who is not man (woman,, person or thing) enough to use his (her or its) own name but chooses to hide behind the appellation ‘lettitor’. It must have been a strain to produce a such a diplomatic and tactful rebuttal. Being a student, and assuming that you might be one too ? I realize how important bits of information written on small pieces of paper tend to get lost in the shuffle. I did not want that letter to suffer such an ignominous fate. Anyway your being able to use the same sheet of paper of a reply gave me a ‘warm and tingly’ feeling inside; inthe knowledge ‘if we all save a little, we’ll all save’a lot’. My bias and slanted report of the descent of the chevronelistist hacks upon the federation student council meeting (28/3/76) like a swarm of locusts. They graced our marathon

Just in case work has kept you captive in your own office -Spring has arrived (hope-’ fully for good). Two phenomena of Spring happens to be water and wet feet.

Federation vendetta x It is no wonder that the feud between the societies and the feds erupted. Last week Doug Antoine, the new board of entertainment chairperson, discovered he had a few extra hundred dollars in his budget, which he added to the already trimmed society subsidies. In response to this good gesture on Doug’s part, a motion was introduced at last Sunday’s fed council meeting to disallow this action and “hammer the society subsidies back down to where they were”. I was rather pleasantly surprised when the motion was defeated by a three or four vote margin, but on the other hand I left that meeting disappointed with the hostile attitude which a few members displayed toward the campus societies. You call these people a menace to the societies. Wayne Halpert Sci-Sk President

I would like to draw to the attention of the administrators of the ‘garage’ beside Bauer warehouse, that at least one of the users of the garage is dumping oil and other repair wastes on or beside the path used by a great number pf people from Lakeshore Village. This’ sort of practice is extremely inconsiderate as well as irresponsible. \ However, the problem will not exist much longer, because if any new oil deposits: are made, I’m sure some irate- pe,destriansmoker will deposit his/her live cigarette butt in the oil, and burn down the garage!

Volume sixteen of the chevron draws t6 ‘a close this week and we’re sad to see it go. we have&t been able to please all of you all Uie time, but we hope we’ve pleased most of you at least some of the time. on a campus with the diversity of this one it’s always difbdt to come up with something for everyone and much of nihat_we’ve bee6@e to accomplish we owe to th$r @ople who over the course of the year have made their various ways damr to the office to helpout it wouldh’t have been much of a paper without them. one regret is that we weren’t able to involve more of you in the effort because i think too many students approach the chevron in the same way they do,the record: they’ll pick it up and read it and if they don’t like it they may bitch but won’t think of diiing anything constructive by way of improving it. that’s unfortunate because thechevron is a studetit paper, your s&¶-t paper, and anyone who wan& to come and help is more than welcome and can become a staff member. al that’s quired is evidence of a -continuing interest in-the paper (ii hetpiig out on a fairly regular basis) and staff, the large majority of *om are st&&nt~olunteers, are the ones who control the chevron. the full-time people are there to provide continuity and technical resoumes and to make sure that all the workget? done, but when it comes; to deciding what goes into the paper they get one vdte, the same as any other staff member. also staff select% the people who get the full-time jobs. this is the manner in-which %e chevron has t+itionally been ruti and in which it con&~~ to be run. chevrics of this year: judy jansen, graham gee, ge&$fe eisler, isabella grigoroff, chris jones, leona-k’rytow, harry strothard, libby warren, george lomega, denis andre, dionyx msmichael, wini mertens, david anjo, mart radomsky, jim’carter, terri berfinghoff, bhn carter, ’ nina tymoszewicz, Steve mcmullan, larry hannant, john mcnair, glen dewar; bob inkol, henry crapo, doug ward, shane r&e&s, bill mcre& john sakamoto, peter leuthard, grant macfarlane, diane r&a, Sylvia hannigan, randy hannigan, henry hess, neil dochm, john morris, dumont ducks & friends and’all the others whose names escape Te at this ungodly hour including harold the japitor whskeeps this place liveable and the ladies in the cc coffee shop who helpto keepusaAve.good IucktoadriatirodGay,brendawilsonandalltheriewcrew.hasta la vista, kwaheri andgoodbyehh -
