-,I Fed hierarchy in \ 1/_vagt disarray Student,s returning to campus this fall may well wonder what ha\ happened to the federation. It is certainly in a bad way. It faces ;I referendum on whether its fees should be refundable, it is unable to muster quorum’for its meetings and has at its helm only an x,ting president who is due to leave at the end of September.The federation lost its president when, after increasing dissati+’ faction with him on campus the Board of Directors,ousted Doug ~ Thompson’July I8 by*giving hima leave of absence without pay until September-70 at which time the presidency becomes vacant. This left vi&president Ron Hipfner as acting president until September ‘lo. The Board of Directors put him on full salary until : that time. . In a letter to councillors August 23 he suggested that the election* . of a new president, council bye-elections, and the second part oft he refundable fee referendum take place at the same time, in late October. He said this “would give the campu’s a few weeks to and later told the chevron it would also \ recover fro,m orientation” save money. * ’ Sunday, council will choose one of its members to serve as vice-president and acting president until the new president takes.. I office. / In the letter Hipfner recommended that the new vice-president be paid a half-time salary of $80 a week, and that-he himself be hired at $160 a week to “carry on a transition” until the end of September. He says that since “it is not too terribly likely” that council will achieve quorum, 13 members, the Board of Directors will, if necessary, establish a temporary lower quorum. This extraordinary procedure would override federation byl,aws which state that quorum is 13;

Vote planned for October

Should the federation The future of the federation of students may be decided by a referendum this October, when students will vote on whether their federation fees should be refundable. Currently, all undergraduates pay $13.75 per term to the federation. The fee is paid at registration and is non-refundable. The referendum is the result of pressure from the engineering societies last March. EngSoc A president Peter King and EngSoc B president Aivars Kakis cited “long-term dissatisfaction with the federation of students” complicated by “the chevron affair” as their reasons for demanding refundable fees. At that time, the Arts society also expressed support for a referendum on refundable fees. The chevron solicited opinions from campus groups and published them on July 4. The federation, and the Mathematics society have expressed opposition to refundable fees. Federation vice-pres’iden t Ron Hipfner listed all of the services provided by the federation and said they would be jeopardized if fees were made refundable. He also stressed student unionism as the most efficient way of handling the problems that students face. Mathsoc feels that federation services would be unworkable with refundable fees. It said that from past precedents, refundable fees can cause the disintegration of student unions. The collapse of the University of Guelph student union in 1969 was cited as an example. However, in the July 8 issue of the chevron, former University of Guelph councillor Ernst von Bezold said that the collapse of the Guelph union was due to the fees not being collected at all, rather than due to the fees being refundable. Van Bezold said that the Univer-

sity of Guelph stopped collecting the fees on the advice of a government solicitor. This action followed a change in the Guelph union’s membership rules. EngSoc claims that. most of the federation’s services are operated on a break-even basis and do not require subsidy. EngSoc also considers the federation’s spending to be “exhorbitant”. Of the fees collected from students, the federation pays out 53 per cent in salaries. EngSoc, and other proponents of refundable fees, hold that organizations can be viable with voluntary membership and largely volunteer labour. Examples cited include the faculty societies, all of which operate successfully with refundable fees and volunteer labour. EngSoc says the federation is unresponsive to the student body. In a statement to the chevron July 4, King said “If the feds won’t listen to reason, then maybe they will listen to dollars! Refundable fees are the biggest stick that the student body can carry in dealing with the federation. If the federation won’t listen to talk, then the students should beat the feds over the head with refundable fees - to death if necessary!” King said that the federation exthrough the actions of ecutive, president Doug Thompson and the board of directors, has “publicly exhibited its contempt of student opinion by its manipulation and misinterpretation of the bylaws and policies governing federation operations.” King was referring to the fede‘i-ation’s handling of the chevron conflict, as well as bylaws introduced to make the recall of representatives more difficult, and to disenfranchise graduate students from the federation. The Anti-Imperialist Alliance

New hw firm himd as Rosenberg goes Kitchener mayor Morley Rosenberg, who has served as lawyer for the federation of students since 1968, has been dismissed amidst allegations that he was being grossly overpaid. The free chevron disclosed June 10 that Rosenberg has been billing the federation for $10,000 per year since 1975. For this flat fee, Rosenberg agreed to handle landlord-tenant cases and corporate legal work referred to him by the federation. A chevron analysis of the work undertaken by Rosenberg for this fee showed that he was being paid at the rate of $25 per minute. Rosenberg’s quarterly reports showed that his work for the federation involved about 10 telephone consultations per quarter, each about 10 minutes long. A subsequent investigation by the Kitchener-Waterloo Record showed that other lawyers in the region considered Rosenberg’s fees to the federation to be exhorbitant. Rosenberg refused to comment about the level of his fees, saying that it was between himself and his client. In a letter to councillors August 23, federation vice-president Ron Hipfner announced Rosenberg’s dismissal and suggested that the law firm of Osboume, Mollison and Boehler replace him. In an interview with the chevron, Hipfner said that the federation will be paying for legal services on a per-case basis from now on. Hipfner said that Osbourne, Mollison and Boehler should be able to handle all of the federation’s work. Last year, the federation hired Gary Flaxbard to take legal action against the free chevron. Rosenberg did not want to take the case as he was running for mayor at the time.In a telephone inierview with the chevron, Rosenberg said that he is “disappointed” that his relationship with the federation has been ended. He declined to comment on whether he considered his fees to be reasonable. -nick

fee be refundable?

(AIA) a’communist group on campus, supports refundable fees. In a statement to the chevron, the AIA said “Membership in a mass student defence organization should be voluntary in order to insure fhat the organization does indeed serve the basic interests of the students. It should regularly be forced to win the approval and active support of the masses by serving their basic interests. This means that members must be able to withdraw from the organization at any time.” Although the chevron staff voted to support refundable fees, a minority expressed the view that refundable fees are unworkable due to,

Card to be promoted The Liquor Licencing Board of Ontario (LLBO) and the Hotel Association have joined together to promote Age of, Majority cards in Waterloo County, and until Wednesday, it looked like machines to produce the cards would be set up on campus during registration despite the objections of the Federation of Students. Wednesday, it was learned that the UW administration acted too slowly in its bid to have the machines on campus and therefore they will not appear. Last week acting Federation president, Ron Hipfner,was contacted by Administrative services Director Bill Deeks seeking Federation backing for the machines. Hipfner, after consultation with council and executive members, informed Deeks that the Federation was against the card and didn’t want the machines on campus. “Deeks says he will bring them on anyways”, stated Hipfner. University president Burt Matthews said, “we can’t stop it without dragging people away” added Hipfner. He then promised Matthews that the Federation would campaign against it. Hipfner claims that there is no need for the Age of Majority card on campus. “I think we aren’t vigilant enough; we don’t need more ID.” Currently there is a double check at the pub and South Campus

The federation council decided to hold the referendum in two parts, one on July 6 and one in October. Thus all students could vote when they were on campus. The referendum will probably take place at the’ same time as the presidential election. The results of the July referendum will not be known until the October poll is complete. A notary public is keeping the July ballots until that time. A chevron survey of 200 voters during the July poll showed 136 were in favour of I’efundable fees and 64 opposed.

Hall. Student ID and proof of age is required. Student ID cards are now in the process of being redesigned for next year and Hipfner had asked the registrar to include date of birth on the card to simplify entrance to on-campus drinking plac,es. The fed&&on also views the card as an infringement on a person’s freedom, allowing the government a greater tool for surveillance. (The card includes the person’s picture). Deeks, who does not feel this concern to be a real one. says the administration is in support of Age of Majority cards qn campus since “it would allow students to buy the card at one quarter of the cost it would entail otherwise.” “It is an opportunity to ‘those students requiring one, it is not being forced upon them.” The card, which normally costs 8 to 9 dollars, is to be available to students for $2 during registration. Pictures will be taken by a Polaroid unit, and manpower will be supplied by volunteers from the LLBO and by the Hotel Association staff. At the moment, Deeks does not see identification as a problem at the University though he admits it could become one. “Hotels run the risk (of difficulties with the LLBO), as we all do, and the penalties are quite severe .”

in area George Schmalz, manager of the Blue Moon Hotel, and chairman for the local Hotel Association spoke for the association. He reasoned that as licence holder, the hotel owners were the ones who were legally responsible for any changes taken on identification. He saw the solution to the problem in “true identification”. “We’re going to recommend that the Age of Majority card is the only card required.” Schmalz, who is heading a program to make the cards easily available in the’ K-W area, sees his efforts as a community service as w’ell as a way of protecting licence holders. He feels the public is interested in greater safeguards in respect to drinking, seeing concern about underage drinking and the raising of the drinking age. “I rather think the LLBO is pushing the Hotel Association” Deeks said. He believes that the Age of Majority card will be the only acceptable card in the future. This is Hipfner’s worry -the more widespread the cards become, the more likely they are to become manditory . When Sam Armstrong, the local LLBO representative was contacted concerning the current campaign, he deferred comment to a press conference which will be held today at Conestoga College. -randy

local Kitchener AM radio station. Four years later the Federation of Students provided funds to set up a studio in the Campus Centre and to investigate the setting up of an AM radio station. The Broadcasting Association moved from Room 1304 in Engineering II and started a closed circuit system originating from the Campus Centre. The quarters were too small and in the fall of 1969 Radio Waterloo moved to its present location in the Bauer Warehouse on the north campus of UW. j In 1970, Radio Waterloo got a spot on Grand River Cable FM and during 1972, drew up plans to expand their facilities. By 1974, it had expanded to three studios from two, added a news booth and built a four track recording studio which it rents out to local artists. RadWat converted to stereo broadcasting in 1975 and hired David Assmann as full-time Administrative Co-ordinator. Due to a -new policy, in January 1976, the CRTC denied Grand River permission to carry RadWat’s signal on Cable FM. An application for closed circuit operation on campus was submitted in February. In March the CRTC reversed their decision and the station went back on cable. Radio Waterloo early this year applied for an FM broadcasting licence with call letters CKMS. The CRTC held public hearings on RadWat’s application on June 21, 1977. Meanwhile a full-time Technical Co-ordinator, Bill Wharrie, was hired, a part-time Office Co-ordinator, Niki Klein, was taken on part time. The rest of the staff has been filled by over a hundred volunteers during the course of the year. Interested students are welcome at the CKMS organizational meeting on Monday, September 12th at 7: 30 pm in CC 135 or call 886-2567 or extension 3273. -nash

LandlordTenant Relations

Beforeyou signa lease... Over 12,000 students have flocked to the UW campus this September and over half of them will be making arrangements with. various landlords for off-campus housing, many of them going through this little ordeal for the first time. Beloti, chevron staffer Dave Carter outlines your rights under the Landlord-Tenant Act and gives some suggestions on what to do if you run into problems.

Students, either because of their own inexperience or their short term of residence or both, have traditionally had more than their share of conflicts with landlords. Before you sign a lease or make any other arrangement for occupancy there are a number of facts you should be armed with. First, under Ontario’s rent control legislation it is illegal for a landlord to raise rents more than 8 per cent a year without going before the Rent Review Board. Before you sign a lease it would be advisable to find out what the previous tenant paid. It is also illegal for a landlord to demand twelve months of rental payment for a nine month rental period. Yet it is not uncommon for them tp try this trick with students. You might also find the landlord trying to collect a damage deposit from you before you move in. This is also illegal. The owner is allowed to collect the last month’s rent at the time of original occupancy, but this is not to be put towards any damages in the apartment. The tenant is obliged to fix all damages caused by his/her negligence. If your landlord tries to evict you before your lease is up you should be aware that he/she can only do this if you have violated certain sections of the Landlord Tenant Act. Only if you have failed to pay rent, not repaired wilful damages, got in the way of the proper use of the premises by the landlord or other tenants, overcrowded the premises, not complied with the residential requirements of the municipality, or used the premise for an illegal business, is the land-

lord given the right to evict you. Twenty days notice must be given for any ‘such eviction and if the tenant rectifies the situation within seven days the notice beconies void. If the landlord wants to terminate tenancy where no lease is involved or when the lease is up, he/she must give 28 days notice if renting is on a weekly basis, or 60 days notice if renting is on a monthly or yearly basis. The act also allows you to sublet your apartment before your lease is up. This only requires that you give your landlord notice of such an action. There is one other important point you should know. The Act provides some protection of privacy. The landlord is not permitted uninvited entry into a tenant’s apartment unless there is an emergency or the landlord has given the tenant 24 hours notice of entry. If you have any problems with your tenancy the Student Handbook, soon to be available in the Campus Centre, has a more detailed account of your rights under the Landlord-Tenant Act, or you can call the Landlord Tenant Advisory Bureau of the Regional Municipality of Waterloo. It is located on the 8th floor of the Marsland Center - Phone 885-9588. There is an outside chance you could be forced to take the legal route to protect yourself. In this case contact the Federation of Students in the Campus Centre and inquire about the free paralegal assisante that they offer all students at JW.

Construction

halted

’

Kent State gym opposed KENT (CUP) - A U.S. federal court order has temporarily halted construction of the controversial Kent State gymnasium. --The gymnasium is to be built on the site where four students were killed by the U.S. National Guard on May 4, 1970, as they demonstrated against the American invasion of Cambodia. This latest restraining order comes after a long struggle. The May Fourth Coalition held a demonstration May 4 to protest the building of the gym. Since then they have held a 62-day tent-city occupation of the construction site, seized the administration building and brought 1000 pickets to a Board of Trustees meeting. There were over 250 arrests during the struggle and some of the

jailed students waged hunger strikes-in protest. Construction was begun July 29, but ended the same day when the coalition obtained a restraining order. The order was lifted on August 17 but was issued again the next day, following an appeal. The May Fourth Coalition hopes to preserve the site as an historical landmark and as evidence in lawsuits still pending. The students surviving the massacre and the families of the students who were killed have brought a $40 million lawsuit against the university. Peter Davies, author of The Truth About Kent State, has said the choice of the particular site for the gumnasiuti seems quite intentional. Davies has pointed out that all previous juries visited the site of

the shootings, and erection of a gym would definitely make it harder for the plaintiffs to illustrate their contentions. He adds that of the 52 sites considered and the three selected as appropriate for the gym, the location chosen wa8 deemed least suitable by the engineers and architects in charge of project.

Protesters see the planned gymnasium as an attempt to obliterate the site they see as Kent State and the Ohio government’s shame. The university contends that construction of the annex will not encroach on the scene of the 1970 murders. But Davies says the spot where Jeffrey Miller was killed will be altered because it was on a road which will be cut off by the gym annex. The

Spain’s anti-fascist political prisoners could have total amnesty within weeks, a Spanish Republican delegation reported in a meeting at the Breithaupt Centre in Kitchener August 19. The meeting was the last of a 17-stop tour of Canada organised by the Committee in Support of the Spanish People (CAPE). The amnesty is expected when the parliament reconvenes. The delegation said the government will try to take credit for the amnesty but it is granting it only because it has been forced to by the struggles of the Spanish people. The Association of Families and Friends of the Political Prisoners has a nine-point demand for Total Amnesty and Now! A mass campaign for this amnesty has been rag-

ing since 1974. The main principle behind the movement is that-there can be no democracy as long as those who have fought against fascism remain in prison. They reject the idea that the restoration of parliament by *King Juan Carlos. France’s chosen successor, represents *‘democratisation’ ’ of Spain. The protests have taken the form of demonstrations and some of the biggest strikes in Spanish history, involving up to 300,000 workers. In the Basque region of Spain the protest was especially vigourous since many of the prisoners from that area were involved in the Basque independence movement. The protest even spread to the jails themselves. Uprisings occurred in a dozen prisons, including

the infamous Carabanchel prison in Madrid where 500 prisoners battled with guards and police for four days. There were also battles iti the streets between police and demonstrators supporting the prisoners’ protest. The delegation said there were attempts to divert the struggle for amnesty -away from mass struggle to an electoral and parliamentary debate. They noted that all the parties, except the extreme right, had incorporated amnesty into their campaigns, but only as a secondary point. The delegation said the struggle would not end with the winning of amnesty, for the laws that put the people in prison would still be in yffect. -jonathan

The chevron staff brought a nitie-month struggle for democratic rights to a successful conclusion June 26 vyhen Fed&ration council accepted the staffs demand for reinstatement and an investigation into (the original closure of, the chevron. Staff had maintained throughout the struggle that by the principle of due process there should first have been an investigation of the charges against the paper and only then action taken if the charges were proven true. They said the only just’ solution ‘to the anti-democratic closure, based on what the federation admitted were “rumours and allegations”, was to restore the paper to its previous conditions and then hold such an investigation. When the summer term began in May, few predicted that within seven weeks the chevron would be reinstated, but by mid-June it was an open question whether or not the Federation would survive long enough to reinstate the paper. The decisive elements which guaranteed the summer reinstatement were evident in the dispute right fr.om the moment that the Federation president Shane Roberts and six members of his executive changed the locks on the chevron office late on t”he afternoon of Friday September 24, 1976, after the chevron staff had left the office.

tihich he argued that thb chevron staff had never been given a? opportunity to defend itself before the paper was closed. He publicly called for a reinstatement and an investigation of the closure as the only just method of solving the conflict. With new elections in February and May, council changed decisively towards the chevron staffs position, and the beleaguered Federation leadership was forced into increasingly desperate actions to prevent these councillors from reinstating the paper. On March 28, by a narrow margin of 9-8, council voted to remove voting rights from the graduate students. It was a measure to exclude the two graduate student reps, both of them chevron supporters, from participation on council. This contradicted a March Annual General Meeting decision to retain Grad reps on council. But that bylaw change returned to haunt the Federation. As the full ramifications of the bylaw change became known, it became obvious that council and the federation board of directors had no members. Because of the bylaw, all off-term co-op students and regular students, none of whom were paying Federation fees that term, were effectively disenfranchised.

The federation effort to strangle was plagued by disunity, backroom conspiracies and arbitrary and anti-democratic action and consistent refusal to present any factual case against the chevron to the students. On the chevron’s -side, a large, active staff, absolute insistence on democratic procedures, untiring exposure of the federation’s antidemocratic actions, and a policy of ceaselessly taking their case to the students, eventually won the day. From September to December, when he was recalled by 2,200 students, Roberts refused several offers to explain his actions at public meetings and in the pages of the free chevron, which was put out by the chevron staff. At the same time he relentlessly harassed the chevron staff, whidh occupied its office 24 hours a day from September 25 until reinstatement. ’ Several council m:mbers opposed the arbitrary action from the beginning; Heather Robertson and Selma Sahin voted against closing the chevron and dismissing two editorial staff members. Later Arts councillor Donna Rogers joined their ranks. In April, Don Orth, who was a member of the executive which closed the chevron, wrote a comment in the free chevron- in the chevron

Trapped own manbY their oeuvres, the Federation leaders latched on to increasingly ludicrous solutions. Federation vicepresident Ron Hipfner - who was technically on his work term and ineligible to pay fees and be a member of the Fedgration - came up with the most novel attempt. He bought an ice cream cone for $13.75 from the federation ice cream stand and claimed that it constituted payment of his Federation fees. The bylaw change was rescinded on June 26, just before the chevron agreement was considered. With the Grad reps back on council, the vote was 13-7-2 in favour of ratify. ing a proposed chevron agreement which had been negotiated earlier between representatives of the chevron staff and the Federation. It should be noted that the federation did not produce a paper in the ’ summer. Another factor in the declining fortunes of the Federation was the const’ant squabbles and backstabbing in the Federation camp. Doug Thompson squeaked into the presidency in February as the candidpte of the Campus Reform Group. But the group was never able to function cohesively.

to vote non-confidence in Thompspn. Renison councillor’ Larry Smylie also became a thorn in the backside of the’ CRG with threatened legal suits. Finally on July 18 the Federation board of directors gave the coup de grace to Thompson, informing him that he was no longer president. Vice-president Hipfner, who replaced him temporarily as acting president, has declared that he will resign September 11. Appalled by the federation executive’s “remarkable disdain for its responsibility‘and accountability to its own members - the students”, in :March the Engineering Society demanded a referendum on making the federation fees refundable. The threat of having the carpet pulled out from under them shocked several Federation executive members. A ; ‘ If we don’t succeed (in cleaning up the federation’s problems) we will lose the referendum,” Thompson warned. Hipfner acknowledged that the chevron settlement was a move of “desperation”, an attempt to ‘rid itself of the constant irritant of an tinrighted_ wrong. kut the Federation executive was not prepared to immediately concede Reinstate! Investigate!, as the chevron staff demanded. Thompson issued a bold_“Final Offer” June 17 which presented the the ronstaff with a threat that they ac P ept the proposed agreement or face eviction by a professional security firm. The “Final Offer” was written by, the board of directors without the consent of the executive or council anddid not meet the chevron staffs demands. But it was overturned entirely only three days after it was issued. The “Final Offer” disintegrated during an impromptu negotiations session.

The session was to have been an “examination of discovery” .meeting, part of- the legal preliminary rounds leading upto a court battle over possession of the chevron oflice later this. year. Instead, negotiations were begun when lawyers and representatives for both, sides decided to try to work out a settlement-rather than proceed with legal matters. After more than five hours of negotiation a provisional agree-.----y-~y--------

ment was signed which later’ received ratification with one amendment by- the chevronstaff. On June 26, nine months and two days after Roberts and his execu- ’ tive first changed the locks on the chevron doors, the Federation council agreed to reinstate the, chevron and begin an investigation into the original closure of the paper. The investigation comrhsion is now in the p&as of hearing testimony on the closure. The agreement turned over to thechevron staff a total of $13,500 ‘which is less than the $20,070 subsidy provided for in them 1976-77 budget. (The subsidy is the amount of money provided out of federation fees after, advertising rev’enue is subtracted from total production costs, including salaries for editor, production manager and news editor.) ( * The money will be used by ache chevrdn. staff to cover some of the I costs incurred in producing the first 26 issues of the free chevron since council withdrew funding for the chevron September 30, 1976. The figure is based on back pay for ,Docherty and former News Editor Henry Hess, loans given to the free chevron (mainly from staff, totalling about $5,400) and other costs, like phone bills and publishing bills. The figure does not cover donations made by students, faculty members and other supporters, including the Canadian University Press (CUP) and member papers of CUP and La Presse E tudiante Nationale . Under the agreement the federation payed $1,800 for legal costs incurred by the chevron staff during the conflict. The -1977-78 budget was released to the paper, retroactive to May 1, 1977. The federation wastied in knots by back-stabbing,-acts :of despera-’ : tion and continued contempt for . democratic rights. For example, i-t, contravened its own eIection -policies and procedures by extending the nomination deadline for the co-op by-elections held in June after chevron supporters were the only nominees in two seats.

Reinstatement of the chevron after a nine-month struggle brought a successful conclusion to an issue of democratic rights whose effects were felt not only throughout the Canadian student press and student organizations like the Ontario Fede&ion of Students and the Na- I tional Union of Students. The chevron struggle found its way into the commercial media and had its, day in court - even the OntarioSupreme Court.~But in the end itrwas resolved by the University of Waterloo students ’ themselves, especially by those who actlcvely defended democratic rights by. supporting the chevron staff.

cutbacks?

. The conference on Writing Skills and the University Student, - held at Conrad--Grebel College on June 3 and 4 as “a research project” funded by the Ministry of Colleges and Universities,. was a pseudo-conference and an attack on students. High School English teachers from across the province were informed that large numbers of the&graduates were poor writers and were soothed with booze and kind -words of concern over their heavy work loads. The possibility that students write as well as they-ever have was _- never seriously considered at the conference even though a report issued by1 the Ontario government- in January indicated just that. The I confere>ce also failed to examine the allegation that t the so-called problem has developed only recently. ‘In fact, 65 per. cent of U. of T.-English students failed a basic English test back in 1950, in the so-called “good old days” when students knew how to write, and the president of the university concluded then that High School English was no longer adequate preparation for university-l -Since the so-called problem is neither real or new, what is going on? Why this flurry of activity with conferences and Proficiency programs now rather than back in 1950? A squeeze is going on.

glish, the first one given, that society has become less interested in literacy, is certainly not borne out by the amazing brouhaha of recent years. If society is less interested in literacy, then what has given rise to this plethora of English tests? The second reason, that there are more students these days, does not in itself mean a damn thing unless someone has rigorously demonstrated that English skills decline with increasing numbers of students. A university research project ought to do more than make unproved statements and vague generalities. The unanimously supported recommendations to the universities and to Queen’s Park may or may

not be good ones. It is impossible to say whether they are good or bad since the investigation which produced them is inadequate. It must, though, be seriously considered whether an increased emphasis on English studies will not be discouraging to many prospective students. A good question for another conference is: Does increasing English requirements for university discourage some students from applying for admittance? If so, which ones? In this time of decreasing support for universities it is all too easy to become callous; it is all too easy to let slip, without thinking, the ideal of universal access. -don

Season looks tough ~for soccer warriors The University of Waterloo Soccer Warriors have just begun preparing for the 1977 OUAA Season. This year promises to be an exciting challenging one for the Warriors and head coach Ron Cooper.

To begin with, Cooper will have to replace graduating seniors, Marcus Klein (goalkeeper and OUAA all star), Jim Valliant (sweeper and OUAA all star), and Tom Dabrowski (defender and team captain). The Warriors are also facing their toughest exhibition schedule ever, beginning with the Laurentian Tournament and following through with successive games against Conestoga College, St. Catherines Roma (National League), a team yet to be announced ‘on the 24th, and the On-

tario select under 21 team. Coupled with a tough exhibition and league schedule, the Warriors will also have to prepare for the Canadian Championships (CIAU) to be hosted in mid-November by the University of Waterloo. Despite the challenge -ahead, Cooper is optimistic about his team’s chances. Returning veterans Paul Stevenato and Brain Filmion (mid-fielders), Sip Akbar, Zenon Moszora (forwards), and Dave Grundy, Bob Stevenato, Brian Miller and Jeff Balon (defenders) are part of the reason for his optimism. The Soccer Warriors need your support. All games with the exception of one will be played at Seagram Stadium so whv not come out and cheer for your team.

The summer games were held in the Kitchener-Waterloo area Augus,t 26-29 and garnered more community response than anyqne expected. Besides the wide range of sporting activities, with participants ranging from all over Ontario, there were many social events in the area. Headquarters for the Qames was the University of Waterloo Campus Centre.

All new Arts and HKLS students wrote the English Language Proficiency Exam Wednesday. Beginning this fall new Arts-students inust pass the test in order to graduate. Those who fail must attend a Writing Clinic for special tutoring and take the test again. The new HKLS students, although required to write the test, do not have to attend the clinic a@ will not be stopped from graduating. if they fail the test. This was the case last year in Arts, and at that time HKLS did not have to write the test.

the west l

J.B. Freeman drifts nto town 1

Just about everybody you meet these days tells you about their plans to go out west. It’s almost become something of a movement, though next year they scurry back and hole up in the East again. J. B. Freeman is not one of those sorts. No, he’s become something of a legend out there in the square states. J. B. used to live in the jungles of Australia when he was a kid. He left home and was a trapper for three years until he lost his partner to a bush snake. Out there in the jungle there’s an unmarked grave that was dug with a rifle butt. J. B. moved to California at that

point and has spent the last decade becoming one of the most pioneering of the new breed of North American hobos. That’s no two bit phrase either -- he has ridden every freight train route from Canada to Mexico and thumbed the fastest trip recorded across the USA on Interstate 90. This year marks his first eastern tour and thank god the folk music scene will have one of the most “goddammit” singers to arise in recent vears. His songs are about the west and its wealth of beauty and legend, his ballads are about

Winters and Waters

Nothin’ but the blues

around the west and bummin gambling and the open spaces and frontier spirit. J. B. played both here and at the Mariposa folk festival this summer to audiences that continue to rave, both about his soft prairie falsetto and about his many honest retellings of what ten years on the road has taught him. In the field of folk music the spirit of the songs and the fireside aura of the performance mark the master of the stage from his apprentices. J. B. is real. And the stage he sings on is more than his home, it has become his passage, a passage tempered with freezing nights and the daze of headlights ignoring the sole, stranded hours on an Albertan turnpike and the joyous, eternal moments of springtime in the Rockies. Few people understand the spirit that makes them strangers in their own land and keeps them moving always, and yet fewer understand the west for what it really is. J. B. is one that’s seen it all. J. B. will be opening the Campus Centre coffeehouse this year on Sunday September 1 lth at 8 PM in the pub area. Monday at 10 AM he will be talking at the Integrated Studies lounge on the traditions of Hoboing in North America and will as well be providing musical accompaniment. J. B. is one of the few authorities on songs of the migrants, hobos, and itinerants of the past. -joe

Earlier this year Johnny Winter and Muddy Waters got together for Waters’ first album for Blue Sky records. The resulting album, Hard Again, was critically acclaimed as one of the old master’s best. After that album’s release, Winter, Waters and friends went on a tour through the States. The tour took them to mostly small halls and several “intimate” clubs. After such prolonged exposure to “de blues”, Winter went back to the studio and started to record this album. When he was finished he had a product that reached back into his past to his blues roots. The album, entitled Nothin’ but the Blues, is both musically, and in production, true to the blues form. There is a very capable crew of performers in Winter, who plays guitars, bass, and some drums, James Cotton (also on Hard Again) who plays harmonica, “Pine Top” Perkins on piano, Bob Margolin on guitar, Charles Calmese on bass, and Willie “Big Eyes” Smith on drums. The sound is very sparse, but clear. There is a very noticeable intimacy on the record that makes the album sound like the band is playing a live concert for you. The sense of the record

being “live” is assisted by the low number of overdubs, the spontaneous playing on the album, and its dylanesque non-production. The rough sound of the music is part of this genre’s beauty; it doesn’t matter if you hit all the notes perfectly as long as you have the feel for the music you’re playing. All but one of the nine songs are new Winter creations. The other song, Walking Thru The Park by MC Kinley Morganfield, is one of the highlights of the album with Winter and Waters (making a guest appearance) trading verses during the song. The whole album shows the skills of Winter very well as he plays electric quitar, slide guitar, Metal Body Acoustic guitar, and drums at various points on the album. It is quite certain that many people won’t be appreciative of this fine work, which is a tragedy, simply ‘because people haven’t been exposed to this kind of music. But those blues aficionados can be sure this record is well woth the money it costs, and those who would like to diversify their collections would be well advised to pick this one up. It’s a classic. -doug hamilton

Obnoxious, punk lyrics t April Wine’s music sour April Wine’s major claim to fame these days is that they helped cover for the Rolling Stones during that group’s troubled stay in Toronto last March. Both groups were in town to record live albums, and both were to do them at the El Mocambo. So now we find a new album by the name of April Wine Live at the El Mocambo on our record stands, replete with numerous mentions of the group’s brief bout with fame. Among these is a short bit of liner notes by Larry Wilson of CHUMFM which happens to mention the band, but only in passing. But listening to this record you soon realize that the Stones aren’t the only people that the band has been drawing on for material. Musically this album isn’t bad. April Wine play well and execute their material with a professional touch. There is also a visible kineticism to the sound that most observers at one of this band’s performances can attest to. But like most albums that ever come out anywhere, there is very little new stuff here. Certainly there is the chance to hear one of Canada’s better bands perform live. After all, there must be thousands of people in Frobisher Bay dying to hear this piece of 100 per cent pure Kanadian Kulture. Yet, as any person knows there are very few innovators in music, and the person who does something new can usually count on it being worked to death in a very short matter of time. The Live at the El Mocambo album is a case in point. It sounds like a musical salute to the greats and near-great of yesteryear. That in itself is not a bad thing for the band since they have the musical ability to make it an album that is interesting to listen to, and to listen to repeatedly.

The lyrics are another story. Over half of the songs on this album are new, and from what Myles Goodwyn and friends are saying it looks like the band is contemplating cashing in on the new “Punk” craze. Since being picked up on by the commercial media and musical establishment, punk has been labelled as the “new wave” in music. And, it would seem that April Wine is trying to make a few quick ones off all the hype that’s going on. The place that this shift is the most noticeable is, as I said, in the lyrics. The words to these new songs contain some of the worst “crap” that I’ve heard in quite a while.

Though their earlier material wasn’t exactly pure, it still reflected a more innocent outlook on life. But on this album Myles Goodwyn’s lyrics stand out as the worst junk I’ve heard in ages. The lyrics to the new material are insipid, contrite, sexist, obnoxious, repetitive to the point of boredom, and mercenary. Goodwyn and the boys have been reading too many copies of Hustler and Rock Scene in the past

few months. The fact that they are trying to cash in on this punk craze is obvious from lyrics like: “You want to put us all away Well you should have done it yesterday ‘Cause it’s too late - yeah!” and: “Hey man, I said don’t push me around Hey man, I’m eighteen and I’ve been around” But that’s not the worst of it. Goodwyn is also suffering from an inability to recognize women as part of the human race, or if he can he doesn’t like to admit it. What he pushes in his songs is not any conceivable form of love, but rather a harsh style of exploitation. Myles has discovered (?) that all women are basically masochis-_ tic, self-abusive whores who are best suited to trades like prostitution and procreation and certainly aren’t Mr. Goodwyn’s equal. What Myles writes about women indicates an emotionally and SOcially stunted person. Hopefully someone will sit down with Myles and re-explain the facts of life to him since it’s obvious to me that he got the story from the wrong sources the first time. Some people can write lyrics that express what Goodwyn is saying in a manner that is much closer to what an honest, healthy relationship is, rather than the demeaning double standards that you hear on this album. And until such time as April Wine can correct this they will continue to be just another band among a sea of others. They are like any other band around, capable but not excellent musicians,. good showmen, but until they realize that you can have something other than “crap” for lyrics then the band is doomed to remain playing high school gyms and hockey arenas. -doug hamilton

The Anti-Imperialist Alliance, the UW student wing of the Communist Party of Canada (MarxistLeninist), considers this English proficiency exam and the whole program to be a newly-launched attack on students which has nothing to do with their grammatical capabilities and everything to do with government cutbacks in education spending. The ,chevron has already shown this exam to be a fraud (see the chevron, August 23, 1977). The program is academically indefensible, and is not at all intended to improve students’ English. The real reason for this attack is that the government is cutting back on education spending. This has been going on for several years. Since J971-72, the real value of provincial government funding to the universities, expressed in the Basic Income Unit, has declined steeply. Also, capital construction at universities has been frozen since 1972, faculty numbers have - declined while enrollment has been steadily increasing. The net result is that the quality of education has been declining. The equipment students work with is deteriorating, library hours have been cut, as have many other services, and the student/faculty ratio has increased, forcing students into larger classes and giving them less time with their professors. At the same time students have had to pay more for this inferior education. Tuition has increased, and as the government moves toward an all-loan aid scheme, students are being forced deeper into debt. Even with record unemployment levels, students are expected to save more during the summer to finance their education. Having squeezed the system and decreased the quality, of education

because its academic foundation is weak and because students are already struggling against it. A concerted push by students can demolish this attack. But it is important to see that the proficiency program is only one of a series of attacks on students. And students are not the only ones being attacked in this campaign. Increasingly, the working class and other sections of the people are being forced by the reactionary bourgeoisie to shoulder the burden imperialist crisis. of the The bourgeoisie carries this out by increasing unemployment, high levels of inflation, speed-ups, overtee hnological change, time, rationalizing production, and by cutting workers off unemployment insurance, just to name a few. At the same time they blame the people for problems inherent in the system. They blame immigrants for unemployment and other social ills and workers’ just demands for wage increases are blamed for inflation. Proficiency exams may have no academic merit, but they do play an important role in the whole cutback campaign. They discourage new students and provide the university and government with an “objective” standard on which to judge which students should remain in university and which should be exeluded. Furthermore, the clinics and further exams are a heavy added burden on students during the first year of university, which is already a great. hurdle to students unfamiliar to the university environment. Because they both are victims of these attacks, students and workers recognize their common enemy. The enemy of the working class and students alike are the U.S. imperialists, the sell-out Canadian monopoly capitalists and all reactionaries who serve their interests. The basic interests of the students are the same as the basic interests of the workers. Workers and students should resist all the attacks of the boureoisie and its state. The Communist Party of Canada (Marxist-Leninist), the Party of the working class in Canada, proclaims that the only solution to the bourgeoisie’s campaign to make the people pay is to Make the. Rich Pay! Students, workers and all the people suffering from the attacks of the bourgeoisie should unite and launch offensives to Make the Rich Pay. Localized offensive struggles may win some genuine reforms from the bourgeoisie. But in the long run Make the Rich Pay means to overthrow the U.S. imperialist domination of Canada and the monopoly capitalist system itself.

so that more graduates are churned out per dollar, the government has now introduced a new tactic in its cutback campaign. It is now trying to cut enrollment. For the first time in a decade Ontario universities will not receive full government grants for increased undergraduate enrollment. Instead, a ceiling has been imposed on each university. Universities are penalized financially for enrolling more students, and the institution can actually receive more money per student by holding enrollment beneath that ceiling. In order to understand this campaign of cutbacks it is necessary to examine the Canadian political economy. Canada is a monopoly capitalist country dominated by U.S. imperialism. In the 1960’s, to service the expansion of U.S. imperialism into this country, the Canadian state rapidly enlarged the education system, and provided other infrastructure like improved roads and hydro facilities. New universities were built, funding was provided to encourage growth, and the youth of the country was beckoned to university. The result was educated workers and lucrative profits for the imperialists. The people paid higher personal taxes while taxes on corporations were kept low in order to attract more foreign, mainly U.S. capital. But today, U.S. imperialism is in crisis; monopoly capitalism is in decay; the economy is stagnant and the system cannot provide jobs to educated youth. The government plan is to reduce university enrollment, using the combination of reduced funding and proficiency exams. Money is being diverted from the education and other social sectors into usurious interest payments, outright giveaways to the U.S. imperialists, like the Ontario government’s $100 million gift to the Syncrude partners in 1975, and into preparations for war and suppression of the people. This campaign is part of the attempt to shift the burden of the economic crisis onto t.he backs of the people. It is a campaign to further enrich those who own the capitalist system lock, stock and barrel - the bourgeoisie. It is their system which is in crisis. It is they who are responsible for - unemployment, debt and inflation. Yet they want the people to pay for the crisis ! In response, we proclaim that the solution to the crisis is to Make The Rich Pay! And there should be no doubt that the rich can afford to pay. In the first quarter of 1977, a year even the bourgeoisie acknowledges to be a recession year, and at a time when real wages of working people are declining, corporate profits rose by 16.1 per cent over the same period of 1976. The proficiency exam is an attack on the basic interests of the students, and students have every right to resist it and fight back. The AIA will vigorously support any resistance or rebellion against this program. This particular attack by the state is a flimsy one, especially

I was impressed by and,‘as regards most of the article, in agreement with Don Martin’scriticism of the English Language Proficiency Pr0gra.m. But I was infuriated by the headline of the article, Martin occasionally expressed his opin ions sarcastically, an-d in his reference to the ELPP as an “attack”. on the students he misrepresented the situation by implying hostility towards students on the part of the program’s originators. But Martin’s few excesses seem to be reasonable rhetorical devices in comparison with the absurdly highcoloured wording of the headline. “Racket”, indeed! “Racket” suggests villains twirling oily facial hairor malign forces ,conspiring to extort money by violence from widows. Such suggestions are not atall consistent.with fair-minded, responsible, effective criticism;If sides are to be taken on the issue of university English language proficiency programs, I must align myself with the critics. But I am not willing to. believe that all good will and intelligence in the debate resides with people of my persuasion. The headline of this article indicates that, in fact, there is a tracecat least, of ill will and tactical stupidity among those who think of themselves as “Us”, as opposed to “Them”. I don’t think an abusive headline contributes positively to the establishment of clear-cut stands in the debate. I thini it only infaates people who would ordinarily -be accessible by rational argument and public pressure. - I hope to see progress made-in improving the teaching of writing skills in this university. But my hopes become fainter when I see debate on the issue set back by contributions such as the headline, “English profiency (sic) examaracket against students.” Shirley ,

Free Chevron were willing to seriously and critically examine issues facing students, and did so with an excellence found all too rarely in student papers. We are looking forward to the results of the investigation into the matter. Good luck in the future, and thank you for the example you have provided for other papers and -for students on other campuses. The Sheaf Staff of Saskatch.ewan

. ..&$d an: example set --

It was great to hear about your reinstate: ment ! + All year the Gazette has admired your determination in printing a paper despite your council’s actions. Your endurance and your strong beliefs in the rights of the student press willprove to be an ex-ample for other student papers should they become involved in a similar situation. Student Councils, hopefully, will someday realize that they do not have the right to interfere with the operations of a campus newspaper. We hope everything works out well for the Chevron in the future and that the Waterloo Student Federation leaves you alone! _ ’ Best of luck. The
