The federation council voted last Monday to sper;ld $2181 on a 16mm. colour fiim promoting the activities of the federation. The proposal to make the film was made by Kevin Q’leary, a former UW student who has experience in film production. O’leary told council that during his days as a UW student, he knew The same is true of most UW students very little about the federation. today, he argued, -and said that in view of the upcoming refundable fee referendum the federation should take steps to convince students that their fees are worth paying. O’leary suggested that the film, which will be three to five minutes long, be shown before the movies at the Campus Centre and the Fed Flicks. He also suggested that a booth be established at the Campus Centre with a viewing machine, which would play the film continuously. Councillors John Long and Larry Smylie moved that the necessary money be approved in brinciple, although it is not yet known where it will come from. Smylie warned councillors that to vote against the motion would be to suppress communication with the students. Other counciliors said that the film would be of assistance in persuading students to retain compulsory fees, and acting federation president Eric Higgs said that even if the federation fee becomes refundable, the film will still be useful to promote the benefits of federation membership. O’leary told council that the film will retain its usefulness for a long time -after the referendum, and so council should not judge the cost as being solely a result of the referendum campaign. Science councillor Gerard Kimmons told council that it was “outrageous that the fkderation has to make a film to publicize itself.” Kimmons said that “The federation should stand on its actions. If the students are appreciative, then there’s no problem.” Kimmons accused councillors of talking as if “the federation has an innate right to exist .” The moiion was passed 5-3-2, and it is expected that the film will be ready within two weeks, thus allowing it some exposure before the fee referendum. -nick

However, this year a subcommittee of the board of undergraduate studies recommended that no test be run. According to Neal Johnson, the board chairman, last year’s test was conducted merely on a “trial basis”. He says the subcommittee surveyed several tests, including the one used at UW this year, and could find “no one test whose reliability had been proven.” He said they would “have to be absolutely sure” that the test would find those students who needed help and only those students. He stressed that the

subcommittee’s judgement was based on the needs’ and resources of Guelph university. Ken Ledbetter, UW Associate Dean of Arts, said he considered the UW test “was proving to be quite reliable .’ ’ Last year, however, there was very little correlation between test scores and grade 13 marks. The test this year is different and statistics on correlation have not yet been released. UW’s English proficiency test has also drawn the wrath of the Waterloo County Board of Education Trustees. At a meeting last Thursday the board passed a mo-

The Federation of Students has a rally planned for this Wednesday to discuss the recently announced changes in the Ontario Student Aid Program (OSAP), and then it intends to bus students to Toronto where Minister of Colleges and Universities Harry Parrott is scheduled to explain the revamped aid scheme. Parrott will be at the Finch campus of Seneca College at 2:30 p.m. in the fourth stop of a five-stop tour of the provinces’ colleges and universities.

morning the mketing was called off since ‘it was felt there wasn’t enough time for Sweeney to prepare a reply. Parsott’s changes are vague and the details will have to be filled-in before their full ramifications will be understood. The major changes are : - A limit of eight terms on provincial grants with a term of eligibility being used up for each registered student whether or not they apply for a grant. OFS estimates that this will cut off 20 per cent of the 40,000 students who now receives grants. - >Ht will be possible for sorne students to receive a grant without first taking out the loan, that is currently required ) but it has not been disclosed how many students will be able to do this. It is suspected by student organizations that relatively few students, and only those from tery PQQIfamilies, wijl be eligible. _- Part-time students will for the

- Grants are to be based on students’ actual summer earnings. This will replace the ministry’s arbitrary schedule whit h demands that students contribute a certain amount from their savings irrespective of what they earned in the summer. However, once again the details of how this will be calculated are not available.

There has been much criticism in the chevron and now the UW English Language Proficiency test has also come under fire from school board trustees and has been deemed inadequate at the University of Guelph. Guelph first administered a test to its freshmen last year, as did Waterloo. A report on the results, submitted to Guelph Dean of Arts Tom Settle, said that there was a problem with students’ writing skills and recommended that longterm strategy to deal with the problem should include a test which would become part of the student’s record.

The rally on campus is designed as a primer for the Toronto meeting. It is slated for 1I:30 a.m. in Theatre of the Arts and will be addressed by Ontario Federation of Students Fieldworker John Shortall, and official opposition educatisn critic, Liberal MPP John Sweeney.

- Graduate students will not be eligible for aid under the new plan. The ministry has announced a small increase in the number and value of Ontario Graduate Scholarships to compensate for this. - And there is to be an appeal board established to evaluate student requests for additional assistance and to assist students already in university to make the transition for the old to the new 0 SAP.

tion to ask Ledbetter to come before them and explain some of his statements. What is at issue is Ledbetter’s claim that many teachers have not been properly prepared to teach writing skills, and that not enough emphasis is placed on writing skills tod’ay in elementary and secondary schools. Ledbetter told the chevron Tuesday that, “the teaching of language skills to the youth of the province seems to have no clearly coherent structure or comprehensive goals’ ’ . However, Ross Cruickshank, director of the Waterloo County Board, told the chevron, “we get a little tired of universities mocking secondary schools all the time.” He said in view of the lack of statistics available on teaching methods and student performance “we question rushing into print”with solutions and blame for the problem. Ledbetter admitted to the chevron that there has been no definitive study done to support his statements but he said they are not just his opinion. They are supported by a motion passed by 92 educators from across the province, who attended a research project at UW in June. Ledbetted- admitted, though, that the

motion was passed on the opinion of those at the conference based in their experience, and not on any hard research. Ledbetter said UW’s study last June did not provide the kind of research material that would prove anything conclusively and that “definitive research would cost a lot of money”. Asked if there had ever been a study in Ontario on the supposed decline in students’ ability to write, Ledbetter said, “no, nothing aside from what we have done here”. He also said he didn’t believe such a study was possible because statistics from past years are not available. Cruickshank told the chevron that before any changes can be made in the school system “we have to be convinced of the route to follow’ ’ . The associate dean told the chevron he is looking forward to a meeting with the board. He said conferring with the board “is something we obviously must do, not only with this board, but with other boards, as well as with teachers and administrators. Anyone who will listen.” --+a smith

Indications are that Engineering Society B, now back on campus, will be just as strong as in past terms. According to Eng. Sot. B president, Aivars Kakis, an estimated 75 per cent of the engineering frosh participated in the orientation program. To help keep the society functioning, a refundable four dollar fee is collected from the engineering students. To date only one person has asked for a refund, says Kakis. The strength of past engineering societies has been demonstrated in part by the fact that most of the positions for the Eng. Sot. executive usually draw at least two or three candidates. As well, pressure exerted by the engineering societies (both A and B) this past spring on the federation resulted in the institution of a two-part referendum on refundable fees. The first phase was held on July 6 for the summer students. The second part of the referen’ dum will be held on October 25, the same day as the federation presidential and council by-elections. It is expected that the Eng. Sot. executive will continue to support refundable Federation fees. No presidential candidate is expected from engineering, due to the nature of the co-op program in which students alternate four month school and work terms, says Kakis. Also, Kakis stated

SASKATOON (CUP) - University of Saskatchewan students who wait through long lineups at the university’s bookstore are being met at the end of the line by a private security guard armed with a gun. Some students, angered by the unnecessary presence of a weapon have complained on the campus, to the bookstore management and the university student newspaper the Sheaf. Bookstore manager Don Bates said he hired the armed guard, of Flaman Investigation and Security Ltd., not to intimidate students, but to act as “a deterrent to any guy looking for a big score.” He claimed that an estimated $1 million in book sales during the month of September, and an estimated $1520,000 losses due to theft last year, warranted hiring the armed guard. “1 would like to stress that the gun is being used as a deterrent to any off-campus guys looking for an easy job. The gun is not being carried to intimidate the students,” Bates said. He added the store has been lax in the past about theft protection, and admitted that no one has been prosecuted for theft from the bookstore during the last five years. A spokesperson for another Saskatoon security firm, Metropolitan Investigation Security said &4etropolitan guards Ltd., never carry or display weapons as part of the company’s policy of ‘“avoiding any conflict that a visible weapon may provoke.” The spokesperson cited the July shooting of eight striking workers by security guards at a Robin

on what the societies

that the Eng. Sot. executive would not endorse any presidential candidate. When the Engineering Society was formed in 1957 its main function was that of orienteda socially organization. This emphasis on social activity continues twenty years later and is evident in the number of activities organized for the engineering student. For example, many pubs (including several engineers/nurses co-pubs), the Welcome Back Engineering the Stag, Weekend, the Engineering Semi-Formal and clubs such as the photo club, the garage club and the femme-eng club. As well, Enginews and the newsletter keep students posted on events and-activities. The society also helps to fill a gap by operating the coffee, donuts, milk, juice, kaisers and submarine stand in Engineering 4. The society serves as a liason between students and faculty by offering the student a chance to evaluate courses, professors, tutors, course texts and labs. These course critiques may over a number of years indicate a problem area in one of the evaulated sections.

i ko’s death PRETORIA dENS-CUP) - The South African gov&-nment is admitting for the first time there may have been police “irregularities” in the death of Steven Biko, reportedly South Africa-s most popular black leader. Biko’s sudden death more than a week ago has plunged the country into its gravest political crisis since rioting broke out last year. Justice Minister James Kruger, who originally attributed Biko’s death to an eight-day hunger strike, is now hinting that that may not have been the cause. He is also beginning to change earlier details concerning Biko”s death, and said that *‘heads may roll” in the police force once an investigation is completed. Furthermore, a “reliable source” has told June Goodwin of the Christian Monitor that Biko’s body showed signs of brain damage and broken ribs, The source added that it is possible that electricity was used on the black leader. So far, the South ,4frica blacks who have revered Steven Biko as the “Father of Black Consciousness” have remained quiet. I%4ajor protest gathermgs are planned during this week. But sources say any black confrontatiow with white authority w2ll most Irke”hy “come in solme unexpected way and at some surprising time. ‘”

RCMP raid \ The trial of Marsha Fine, a supporter of the Communist Party of Canada (Marxist-Leninist), @PC (M-L), on a charge of “obstructing police’ ’ ended Monday when Judge Robert McCormick found her guilty and fined her $75. Fine, acting in her own defence, maintains however, that the RCMP fabricated the charges against her “in a last ditch effort to salvage something from what was otherwise for them a complete disaster and a big embarassment”‘. The charges arose from a raid the RCMP conducted on the Norman Bethune Institute, a research center for CPC (M-L) and on several supporters’ apartments in Waterloo on February 23. Sixteen people, including Fine, were arrested for “ aiding and abetting an illegal immigrant” ) Frederick Mason. Doug Crown Prosecutor McDowell subsequently dropped the charges against fifteen of the sixteen arrested, including Fine. One month after the raid on the NBI and the apartments, Fine was served with a summons charging her with obstructing and assaulting the RCMP during the raid. Fine stated, though, that the charge ‘&was “obstruction” cooked up after the RCMP had sifted through alI of the evidence collected in the raid and discovered that there was nothing which showed I aided anybody”“. Officer McLeod, who led the RCMP raid on the NBI and the apartments, testified that he had received information from a “confidential source” that Susan Herzog, an illegal deportee, was in Canada. From the information given to him, he believed Fine to be Herzog. He stated that he had watched Fine’s apartment on February 20 and 22, and had witnessed Fine entering the place and thought she was Herzog. Fine pointed out that there were few similarities between herself and Herzog. The deportation order states that Herzog is five feet tall while Fine is five feet five inches tall. Herzog has freckles and a distinctive facial feature while Fine does not. McLeod stated that the basis for the raid was that Fine ‘was suspected of being the ihegal immigrant, which later turned out to be incorrect. During the course of the raid he said Fine had aIleged@ assaulted him and obstructed Constable Barrett. Barrett? the allegedly assauhed officer stated he had received verbal abuse and had vsarned Fine that she would be charged with obstruction. It was after this that a

According to the campus residence director, universities ant colleges are not allowed to clam residence losses under their pro. vincial subsidy because these are not considered operational expenses. The deficit in the past had beer paid out of general campu: operating budgets.

HALIFAX (CUP) - Dalhousie University student groups are considering legal action against a government decision to deny visa students Medical Services Insurance (MSI) coverage. In March, a committee on eligibility of MSI “clarified” the definition of Nova Scotia residents under the Health Services and Insurance ‘Act to exclude visa students. “Action resulting from this decision has left nearly 200 overseas students without proper medical coverage,” said Mahmood Alam of the Dalhousie International Students Association (ISA). The ISA and the Dalhousie Association of Graduate Students, whit h are considering challenging in court the committee’s decision and authority to make it, have protested the decision and pointed out that the only criterion for MSI eligibility is establishment of residence in Nova Scotia.

bbamp

A resident is defined under the act as “a person who is legally entitled to remain in Canada, who makes his home and is ordinarily present in Nova Scotia, but does not include a tourist, a transient or a visitor to Nova Scotia.” In a June 2 letter to Alam, eligibility committee member D. H. Waller said: “The committee interprets this regulation (defining resident) to mean that only persons coming to Nova Scotia who intend to make this province their permanent place of residence areeligible for MS1 and Hospital Insurance benefits.”

“The forergn student in Nova Scotia normally spends a period of from two to four years in the province. This is scarcely a temporary establishment in Nova Scotia,” the report adds. Neither Canadians moving to Nova Scotia from other provinces nor immigrants are required to demonstrate intention to remain in the province permanently to qualify for MSI coverage. And Canadian students studying abroad are normally covered by the country’s medical plan.

The graduate and international Student association, in a joint rehave disputed the port, committee’s interpretation on the grounds that “a holder of a student visa does fall within the intended definition of a resident. A student studying at a university in Nova Scotia clearly makes his home and is ordinarily present here .”

We think that the original Advent has fulfilled those objectives. For example: l Over half a million Advent Loudspeakers have been sold to date. l The Advent Loudspeaker has been the most widely imitated design of the 1970s. l The Advent Loudspeaker is the standard of comparison for the majority of manufacturers of speakers at or near its price. l The Advent Louaspeaker has been identified in surveys for three years running as the best selling speaker model in the U.S.

Legalities investigated The violation of basic democratic rights in the federation executive’s and council’s closure of the chevron last September, was also a violation of fundamental rights under law, chevron staffer Ernst von Bezold argued before the chevron Investigation Commission Wednesday. Von Bezold, presenting the chevron’s arguments on the legality of the closure, noted that the federation was a body politic which provided for rights for members which are considered fundamental under Canadian law. Von Bezold cited definitions from “Black’s Law Dictionary”, the Canadian Bill of Rights, the charter and bylaws of the federation, and old student newspapers, as well as referring to past federation practice to illustrate his case. The federation, von Bezold held, was intended to be a democratic body politic. The students’ council and the chevron were both institutions in this body politic with certain rights and responsibilities enacted in the chevron, the Corporations Act, the charter and bylaws of the corporation, and a host of other sources, as well as in practice. He said the council acted beyond its authority in closing the chevron, through the assumption of rights which belonged properly to the general meeting of members. The general meeting, which either creates bylaws or ratifies them, was the competent body to change the constitution, which is what was necessary in order to close the chevron. Von Bezold’s reading of the constitution and past practice is that the chevron is an autonomous body in which editorial control is in the hands of the staff, and council was not empowered to change the constitution last September. He said further, that council did not even claim the power necessary since the actions were taken as motions of council instead of being referred to as bylaws in council or being considered bylaws and a number of other ex-

LUTHERAN

-amples to illustrate this point were given. Von Bezold was not able to finish his presentation Wednesday and the chevron delegation agreed to submit a written statement on the legal issues and to be available

for cross-examination on the submission. The next part of the chevron case will deal with a reply to charges made against the paper in the period between Sept 24 and Sept 30.

Thursday last week chevron representatives called on the chevron Investigation Commission to be more rigorous in its procedure. The chevron delegation was clarifying the protest it had made three days earlier when ousted federation president Doug Thompson and others were allowed to make unsubstantiated charges against the chevron without being challenged and asked for proof. In a statement read by staffer Gerard Kimmons it was noted: “ . . . the only way to arrive at the truth, in answering questions with respect to the closure of the chevron is through rigorous crossexamination, exclusion of irrelevant information, demands of substantiation and questioning of all individuals who testify before the commission.” Kimmons noted that the commission’s mandate from the chevron-federation settlement was not to provide any reasons, but to get at the true reasons for the closure. “The mandate reads” ‘investigate the reasons’ - would investigations be necessary to discover reasons other then the actual ones?” the commission was asked. It was noted that, the commission’s quest for the truth is not for the benefit of the either the chevron staff or for those who closed the paper, but for the students. And it was argued that the -only procedures that would ensure the accountability of the commission to the students “are those which allow them to verify your conclusions for themselves - by looking back at the proceedings.”

Another chevron staffer’ Jules Grajower protested the commission chairperson Frank Epp’s ruling that the chevron delegation were, in the eyes of the commission, members of the public. Grajower argued that the chevron delegation was one of the parties in the dispute with rights of thorough cross-examination of witnesses. But the chevron delegation must be seen as quite distinct from the general public, Grajower argued, though he also stated that the public should be given full rights to cross-examine any witnesses. Grajower urged the commissioners to reflect on the chevron points and consider whether they are capable of carrying-out their mandate. The commissioners were divided on the presentation. Epp disagreed with the chevron position and noted that the agreement which founded the commission stipulated that the commissioners could decide on their own procedure. I While on the other side commissioner Don Martin expressed his full agreement with the chevron protest. The next meeting of the commission is Wednesday 7: 30- 10: 30 p.m. when former president Doug Thompson will be cross-examined on a federation submission he has already given to the commission.

VANCOUVER (CUP) - British Columbia Education Minister Pat McGeer believes that unions are incompatible with public accountability, according to a statement attributed to him during a recent meeting with university faculty presidents. McGeer, who went on to say that faculty union certification was “against the preservation of university autonomy,” is pushing a bill through the legislature which would remove universities from the B.C. Labour Code. The bill,

brought down without prior consultation with universities or faculty, would mean professors could not unionize in the province. The minister told the faculty presidents of Simon Fraser University and the Universities of British Columbia and Victoria on Sept 14 that they could go ahead and take “the lunch bucket route.” The Simon Fraser rep, Marilyn Gates, quoted McGeer as saying that he could read the tenor of the campuses and that consultation on

-30, 7977

this issue was unnecessary. “It is ciear this minister wants to be in the position of running the universities from his office,” said Gates. Meanwhile, Simon Fraser administr::tion president Pauline Jewitt has condemned the government action as “3 direct threat to university autonomy.” “I am angry that there has been no consultation with university presidents or the faculty associations of the three public universities,” she said.

The Graduate Board of Directors decided at their last meeting, September 2 I, to send four delegates t,o Western with a tentative mandate to support the creation of an OGA. The proposed organization, originally sponsored by the Ontario Federation of Students and the U of T Graduate Student Union, has already zone through the formative stages.-Fourteen g?aduate societies met last April and an executive committee, appointed at the first meeting, has been looking into the possible structuring of such an association. Diaa El-Gabbani, the president of the UW Grad Club, said that the Board of Directors had decided over the summer to support the idea of a graduate association affiliated with OFS, but with autonomous decision-making power. According to El-Gabanni, a totally separate ‘OGA could “not support itself from its own fees.” An autonomous body would be able to use the facilities of OFS, such as the fieldworkers and the administrative assistants, while

maintaining its own independent executive. He said that if there is opposition to this plan it would probably come from the three graduate schools at Toronto, Queen’s, and McMaster, which already have full membership in OFS. They might want an OGA to maintain the cur-rent strong links with OFS. In other business, the Board of Directors approved three hundred dollars to be used for- the purchase of automobile tools. The tools will be used for a car tool loan service to be available commencing cometime next week, at the Grad House during the daytime office hour:,. Any graduate who puts down a deposit of ten dollars, leaves their ID can-d, and pays a one dollar- rental fee will be entitled to take the tools out for up to three days. The engineering society already operates a car garage for any student who pays a two dollar membership fee, but it has no tools other than a jack. -david

Repeated !ock changes didn’t stop the chevron and Shane Roberts, a seven-year veteran of UW politics, had his career end in disgrace at the end of a recall petition with over 2,200 names duly three months later. The articles reprinted on these two pages are from the Sept 28 1976 special issue of the chevron. This was a four-page paper which came out four days after the federation executive had had the locks changed on the chevron offices, and two days before the Sept 30 council meeting which was to close the paper. In between those meetings council met Sept 26 and officially re-opened the paper but gave notice of motion to fire two staffers. The article above appeared as the banner headline story in that issue.

The truth of how and why the chevron was closed is being disclosed to the chevron investigation commission and the chevron staff will present its explanation of the events within the next two weeks.

chevron staff to choose and dismiss the people who hold the paid positions. That method is discussion and democratic voting. Simply stated, the students who do the work decide who works with them. This democratic decisionmaking would be scrapped if the executive’s proposal for an editorial board is forced on the chevron. (See Executive Board Minutes). In place of the chevron staff making the decisions, the executive proposes a -board including only one member from the volunteer staff. board Further, this editorial would usurp the powers over policy and procedures which the chevron staff now exercises. A written manual which is constantly updated and Decisions of importance on chevdeveloped is the guide for this ron policy and procedures are not decision-making. To aliege that made by the editor. They are made “there is a lack of formal procedure to protect democratic decisionby staff at regular meetings held on Friday afternoons. It is not true to making” is a vicious lie.

The ousting and resignation of editors is a relatively frequent occurrence at the chevron. For example, in August, 1975, Michael Gordon was forced to resign by chevron staff members, who found him to be incompetent during the four-month summer operation. A full, and heated, discussion took place among voting staff member-q (and one federation executive member, who was not on staff) which focussed on Rodway’s competence to serve as editor. By vote, the stal‘f elected to retain Rodway. But a central issue involved is this: A clear-cut method exists for

Sunday evening, at an emergency federation council meeting, federation president Shane Roberts read out an executive board statement giving its reasons for closing the doors of the chevron. The statement is an uninterrupted series of allegations, illfounded opinions, rumours and falsehoods. To reply to all the charges laid there would require a volume of chevrons. Indeed, the past bound volume of the chevron is a telling refutation of the statement. But several outstanding points deserve full replies, and are specifically answered here.

do. Their efforts have been successful. The chevron office has been virtually innundated by eager potential staffers. Students want to be part of a dynamic newspaper. It was Shane Roberts. not any chevron member, who locked the chevron doors in an attempt to keep staff members out:. The claim that the chevron has been used to promote a particular political belief is unfounded. if that “particular political belief ‘, means AIA’s. That is easily proven by a review of the major features printed in the chevron during the past summer term. Such a survey reveals a variety of poiitical points of view. A similar survey of the entire 1975-76 chevron will tshow a M ide diversity ofpolitic:ii opinion. 23 well as new \;. campus, sport\ and emtertainment. But it alw will show that AIA articles have been kept OL~I of the chevron. The feedback pagec have been extenbivs. providing c;tudentL with the chance to debate issues ranging from the cutbacks in education spending to the controversy over alleged correlations between race and IQ. AIA has had its share of letters in the feedback section. This happens because the AIA is an active group, with consistent. strong positions to put forward. ft is signiticant that many of these letters have been critical of the misleadership of Roberts. Moreover, it is significant that the chevron has closely followed and reported the blunders, fiascos and inaction of the federation. And there’s much more filth to be uncovered. Such investigative reporting, and a thorough discussion of international, national and university affairs is exactly what terrifies Roberts. Every time he speaks his foot ends up in his mouth. Roberts’ neck is on the line. This attempt to close the chevron is a blatant move to muzzle unyielding critics. It‘s the desperate act of a man on the run. With a campaign of lies, gossip, rumour and unfounded allegation, Roberts has long sought to kill the chevron. Sunday. the staff of the chevron made a firm declaration to Roberts and the federation council: The chevron will be published. Roberts and his gang might own the typewriters, the pens, papel and desks. But machines don’t ‘work of their own accord. The heart of any factory 9 any nation, aray newspaper, is the people in it. With the support of the students. faculty and staff of UW, the chevron staff will continue to publish a newspaper that serves them, a newspaper free of meddling by officials who claim to be operating democratically, a newspaper unequivocally opposed to Shane Roberts and his like. =--neil docherty -Wry hannant -henry hess

In looking forward to the two OUAA League Games which his team will play this week, Coach losing our Cooper says, “After first game to Western last week (Warriors lost 3-l), we have to get on the winning side of the ledger if we expect to finish near the top “We won’t get blown out of any games by the other teams in the league but we aren’t strong enough to get by without a real strong effort from all of our players.” The Warriors will play RMC on Saturday and the Queen’s Gaels on Sunday.

In an exhibition game played last Saturday against the Ontario Under 18, Team, the Warriors came out w’ith a 4-2 victory. The Ontario Under 18 Team was understaffed for the game. The Warriors ended up by providing some of the players for the Under 18 side. Coach Ron Cooper feels that the Under 18 team was deflated from the loss last week to the Quebec Under 18 Team. The loss to Quebec took away a trip to the Canadian Championship, selected for Vancouver this coming weekend.

The 9th annual Warrior Invitation was held on Monday, September 26th at the Conestoga Golf Club. Eight Ontario universities participated including McMaster, Queens, Guelph, Wilfred Laurier, York, Brock, Western and Waterloo. Despite very wet and generally bad conditions on the course, the day saw some remarkable golf. The team event (total of best 4 scores from 5 players) ended in a tie at 278, between Queens and Waterloo. In the one hole playoff involving all 5 members from each team, Queens won by shooting even par, while Waterloo could only manage 2 over par. In the individual category, the best round of the day recorded by Yvan Davidson, a 4th year statistics student from Sturgeon Falls. His 2 under par 62 (also 2 under the course rating) was not only the best round of the day, but also the best round recorded in OUAA competition since Tim McCutcheon played Westmount in 5 under par in 1972. Tim is currently in his third year on the Canadian Professional TOUI and will be trying for his PGA card in the spring. Second gross was a 2 over par 66 shot be Mark Siemonson of Queens. Other Waterloo scores were Bill Mound - 71, Doug Walker - 72, Tom Elsdon - 73, and Larry Gander - 76.

Am Center presents “Rmarv English Class”

w One of the great hits of the Toronto theatre season, The Open Circle Theatre production of “The *Primary English Class” is coming to the Theatre of the Arts, University of Waterloo on Friday, October 7 at 8 p.m. Co-sponsored by Open Circle and the UW Arts Centre, tickets are $4.00 for students and seniors (others $6.00)

“The Primary English Class” is a hilarious play about the problems of communication where there’s a language barrier. It was written by Israel Horovitz, one of the most prominent playwrights in New York today, with his plays being translated into several languages, and performed internationally in London, Paris and Italy. In “English Class” he sets the scene with six recent immigrants attending their first English class, confronted by a frazzled young woman, their teacher. They quickly learn about the peculiarities of life in North America. The possibilities for comic situations abound, and the superb cast of Open Circle Theatre takes advantage of every one! During the play, six different foreign languages are used -- French, Italian, Chinese, German,

iapanese and Polish with spoken sub-titles so that the audience is clued in with a simultaneous translation. -Audiences have been loving it! The Open Circle Theatre ‘production of “The Primary English Class” has been playing to capacity houses, and has been held over three times in Toronto. The play was also a smash hit in New York. Open Circle Theatre is a Toronto company, founded in 1972. Their major concern is with the creation and presentation of plays which appeal to a broad cross-section of the public. In the words of Herbert Whittaker, noted drama critic, “No doubt about it. They’re a talented bunch of people!” Anyone who has ever studied or taught English as a second language - anyone who has ever found themselves with communication problems because of language, will truly enjoy this delightful show. Tickets are available now at the UW Arts Centre Main Box Office, Room 254, Modern Languages building, UW campus or at Bishop’s Style Shop, Stanley Park Mall, Kitchener and KW Symphony office, 56 King St. N, Waterloo.

Allow me to extend to you today, on the anniversary of the chevron closure, congratulations from the Ontario Region of the Canadian University Press (ORCUP) on your victory in winning reinstatement. The chevron struggle was the focus of attention for student newspapers across Canada. Especially in Ontario, where the struggle was closely monitered, we now have to ask ourselves what can be learned from it. The.chevron was shut down by’the Waterloo federation undemocratically because of the paper’s content and the political beliefs of some staff members. The paper’s response was immediate and direct - 24 hour occupatiqn of the editorial offices. The staff showed that it would fight curtailment of its democratic rights. In the nine months that followed, the staff faced attacks in the courts, student council meetings, in the press, and in their offices. The staff defended itself against legal manouevers lies and slanders, red-baiting, physical attacks, financial bankruptcy, and threats to bring in the police and to jail staff members. The chevron staff showed that not only could a paper face a storm but could win. How could a single newspaper accomplish this’? The chevron relied on itself and never handed over the struggle to a students council or to the administration OI- to some “impartial” outside organization or commission While taking its case to the to *‘resolve”. students and other democratic people fol support, the chevron continued to wage its own struggle to Reinstate! Investigate! The chevron also relied on the students at the University of Waterloo. It consistently rejected measures that would have left the decision to an outside body. During visits to UW I had personal experience of the chevrons close contact with students through extensive recruitment campaigns and public meetings and through hand to hand distribution. Most importantly7 the free chevron tried to live up to its objective of defending the basic interests of the students. Lofty ideals are fine but the bottom line factor in winning student support has to be the quality of the paper. The chevron showed each week that it was a student newspaper worth supporting because it did serve the interest of students. The Orientation issue of the chevron and the first issue this year indicates this trend is continuing. This is the surest guarantee that, although the free chevron is no more the chevron shall remain free. Good Luck in the coming year. Eric MacMillan ORCUP President

because it is intended to for chevron policy is aimed at student participation; at making students aware of distindtive problems and stimulating them into thought and action. On this, the first anniversary of the chevron shutdown, we would like to congratulate the chevron staff for their dedication and discipline in waging and winning a turbulent struggle. Signed, Ken Johnston, Eric Ball, Liana Lister, Eric Roberts, Karen Roberts, . Gerry Rowe, Lorraine Ball.

Marxism or n Ch The statement is often made that Marxism and Christianity have the same aims. I believe in the words of Christ written in the four Gospels of the New Testament and I am convinced, as stated at the end ofthis article, that there can be no reconciliation between Marxism (the thoughts developed by Marx atid Engels) and Christianity (the teaching of Christ). However, in what follows, I will mainly quote, summarize, and to some degree,compare what I consider to be basic writings of Marx and Engels and fundamental words of Christ, so that the reader can also pass his own judgement. Marx declares that there is no supernatural being, i.e., no God. Some of his writings about religion are given on pages 13 and 14 of the book ” Karl Marx - On Society and edited by N .J. Smelser. Society Change”, ( 1) The following are a few excerpts: who has io~/nd in the tantdstic reality of heaven, where he sought a supernatural being, on/\/ his 0~~7 reflection, ~vill no longer be tempted to find on/)/ the semblance of himself - a non-human being - where he seeks and must seek his true reality. The basis of irreligious criticism is this: man makes religion; religion does not make man. . . . The criticism of religion disillusions man so that he will think, act and fashion his reality as a man who has lost his illusions and regained his reason; . . . It is the task of history, therefore, once the other-world of truth has vanished, to establish the truth of this world. . . .

Man

The nature and aims of communism, an economic theory based on the doctrines of Marx and Engels, are described on pages 89 and 90 of the same book. Marx writes: Communism is the positive transcendance of private property, as human self-estrangement, and therefore as the real appropriation of the human essence by and for man; communism therefore as the complete return of man to himself as a social (i.e., human) being - a return to become conscious, and accomplished within the entire wealth of previous development. This communism, as fully developed naturalism, equals humanism, and as fully developed humanism equals naturalism; . ..

(The following appears also on page 105 of ‘J-The Communist Manifesto”. (2) One year ago, the chevron was closed down and the ensuing battle following this action polarized the campus into two factions, either pro the chevron staff or pro the Federation of Students. One year later, on the first anniversary of the chevron shutdown, the Federation finds itself initiating a rebuilding program after certain destruction. While the paper, after reinstatement, remains as lively and provocative as ever. Over the past year, the paper has served not only as a chronicle of the continuous battle for freedom of the press but it has diligently persisted in its coverage of student issues such as cutbacks, housing problems and the post graduatq unemployment crisis. The strength of the paper lies in its investigative brand ofjournalism which focuses in on specific problems and returns to these issues for further examination and interpretation. If the analysis is given in any way disturbs, offends or angers the reader, it is

When in the course of development, c/ass distinctions have disappeared, and all production has been concentrated in the hands of a vast association of the who/e nation, the public power will lose its political character. . .. In place of the old bourgeois society, with its classes and c/ass antagonisms, we shall have an association, in which the free development of each is the condition for the free development of all.

Marx does not state explicitly what he means by free development, but it appears to be a freedom to have or to do things. So Marx has clearly drawn the line: there is no truth of the other-world, communism is naturalism equals humanism. Naturalism is the belief that the natural world is the whole reality and that there is no supernatural or spiritual world. It holds that there is no God, no creation and that scientific laws explain all phenomena. Humanism emphasizes human interest, it is the philosophy that man can renew and free himself.

A radical nature of communism comes to light in “The Communist Manifesto” where Marx and Engels write bn pages 103 and 104: The communist revolution is the most radical rupture with traditiona/ property relations; no wonder that its development involves the most radica/ rupture with traditional ideas.

Thus, the intrinsic idea of Marx is that a positive transcendence of private property will return man to himself as a social being. He tries to find the truth by a process of dialectic reasoning. The aim of Marxism is a radical change of men through a classless society without God. Since there is no other-world for Marx, his thoughts are oriented towards this world only. The words of Christ are about the Almighty God, the Creator, and the world. He asks us to accept that God is love and to believe in him, the Son of God. His words are: for Cod so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. for Cod sent not his Son into the world to conciemn the world, but that the world through him might be saved. (St. )ohn

3:16-171

Christ says that men will be cast into hell and perish if they commit sins by breaking the commandments of God, just like men are cast into prison when they break laws made by man (St. Matthew 5: 17-32). He names the commandments as: Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Honor thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as fhysdi. (St. Matthew 79 : 78- 79)

(St. Matthew

26:28)

But he rose from the d:ad and appeared to his disciples. Christ explained to them before his ascension into heaven: Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day; And that repentance and remissions of sins be preached among all nations, . . . (St. Luke 24:46-47)

He states that his gospel is beyond and prudence:

wisdom

/ thank thee 0 Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou has hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes: even so, father; for so it seemed good in thy sight. (St. Luke IO:2 7)

Christ also tells us that renewal through the Spirit: Except a man be born Spirit, he cannot enter God. (St. john 3.5)

ianity is salvation of men. Christ makes it clear that his Kingdom is not of this world, (St. John 18:36) but is within people (St. Luke 17:21). Consequently, belief in Christ is independent of a social order. Members of the first Christian congregation had initially all things in common. They sold their possessions and goods and parted them to all men as every man had need (Acts 2: 44-45). Christ, however, on the one hand told the rich ruler: Se// all that thou has and distribute unto the poor and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me, (St. Luke 78:22)

but on the other hand, said to the rich Zacchaeus, who gave only half of his goods to the poor: This day is salvation (St. Luke 79:9)

come

to this house.

There is a basic difference in spreading Christianity and Marxism. Christ compares himself to the good shepherd who leads those who follow vo.luntarily. He says: I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep. And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him: ior they know his voice. (St. )ohn IO: I2 and 41.

The Communists push men forward. Marx and Engels write on page 95 of “The Communist Manifesto”: The Communists, therefore, are on the one hand, practically, the most advanced and resolute section of the working-c/ass parties of every couhtry, that section which pushes forward all others; ..

Marxism developed in answer to the lack of compassionate use of accummulated wealth following the Industrial Revolution, which started around 1760 in England. The+ Communist Manifesto was printed in London in 1848 and provided, in my opinion, a solution for the wrong-doing af one class, the capitalists, through the abolition of all class distinctions. A classless society is, in my opinion, not the aim of Christ. He says for example: The disciple is not above servant above his lord. (St. Matthew 70:24)

In view of the above my judgement is as follows: On the surface,contrasts and similarities exist between Marxism and Christianity, but the fundamental difference is that the base of Marxism is atheism whereas the base of Christianity is belief in God, the Creator and Ruler of the universe in his Son, Christ. It is this fundamental difference that makes any attempt at reconciliation impossible. 1. The University of Chicago Press, Ltd., London, 1973. 2. Penguin Books Ltd., 1967: 3. Gospels are quoted from “The Holy Bible” Consolidated Book Publishers, Chicago, 1973. Dr. J. Schroeder Professor, Department of Civil Engineering

He reminds us that there is life after death and that men are responsible for their deeds. He says: For the hour is coming in which all that are in the graves shall hear his (Cod’s) voice, and shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, onto the resurrection of damnation. (St. )ohn 5:28-29)

Freedom for Christ is freedom from sins, i.e. ) from doing wrong (and not freedom to have or to do things). He says: Whosoever comitteth sin is the servant ‘of sin. . . . If the Son therefore shall make you free ye shall be free indeed. (St. )ohn 8:34 and 36)

Thus, the essence of the teaching of Christ is justification by faith in him, the Son of God, and the belief that God is our loving Father. He tells us that the truth is hidden from the wise, but has been revealed by him, sent into the world by God. The aim of Christ is threefold: the keeping of God’s commandments by men in this world, the salvation of men through repentance and through remission of sins by God, and everlasting life for men in the other-world. In comparison then, Marxism has been formulated by men, whereas Christianity is a revelation of God. The aim of Marxism is a new social order, whereas the aim of Christ-

In reference to a letter printed last week entitled “Reply to Mr. Coates” signed by 5 individuals of whom I have yet to meet 4, I wish to clarify some of their misconceptions. To begin with, the authors conclude that I think students should be isolated from both national and international events and read comic books in a closet. Nothing could be further from the truth. First of all, 1 Kitchener and 3 Toronto based newspapers with prompt and fairly accurate coverage of both international and national news, as well as an assortment of other topics not covered in the chevron, are available at newstands all over the city. Many other papers can be found in the library. For those who prefer to read the news and views with a communist slant, several such papers can be found in the chevron office. What I stated in my letter was that most students are not interested in Angola, Albania, Rhodesia or the CPC(M-L) etc. to the extent that they were covered in the preclosing issues of the chevron.

chevron is the student newspaper, it should not include extensive coverage of topics which are of marginal interest to the vast majority of the students. The authors claim that these specific topics affect us in every way, but fail to elaborate. Granted, if Rhodesia is taken over by the domestic and foreign-based terrorists, the communists will control over % of the world’s chromium. Majority rule is inevitable, and I’m all for it, but would rather see it achieved by the pen than the sword. However, appart from the metallic element, -it won’t effect me, or most of the other students in any way. The authors continue with a dramatic pitch for coverage of the civil yar in Angola, 100,000 dead”. quoting a figure of “over Now I don’t like people being killed any more than anybody else, but apart from the small amount of oil there, what effect can the war’s outcome have on me? However, if one must cover it because of the 100,000, why are there no articles about the 26 million people executed in China between 1949 and 1969? The authors are full of praise for Albania, which is more difficult to counter, because its atrocities are less well documented. However, to those who claim it’s so rosy, I ask: how does their standard of living compare to ours? Compared to the hundreds of thousands of people who are trying to immigrate to Canada, how many are opting for Albania? The. authors credit the chevron with an “‘expose” of the ‘“state” harassment of the CPC(M-L). The number of students on this campus who actually believe that the chevron’s coverage had’any effect on the development of the case whatsoever, must be few indeed - in fact I doubt the authorities even saw a chevron. Furthermore, the members of the AIA and the CPC(M-L) must have been well aware of all procedings well before they were printed. Therefore for the 9% of the students who are sot members of, or have any interest in these organizations, these articles are of no value whatsoever, and shouldn’t have been printed in the paper at,all, let alone on the front page. What the authors missed was that I was congratulating the chevron on the improvements it had made over the pre-closing,issues, one of which, 8 pages in length, contained 4 pages, half of the paper, exclusively on Angola! I hope we never see this kind of crap again. I must emphasize that there are adequate sources of news and opinions, communist, right-wing and centerist, on all of the above-mentioned topics, on this campus, for the few that are interested in them, but for the vast majority of the students, who have decided that they aren’t interested, this should not be shoved down their throats. Stephen Coates

September 12’ 1977 marks the third year of Col. Mengistu and his cohorts’ fascist dictatorial rule. On Sept. 12, this month, just like last year, the fascist regime will attempt to gather together “diplomats” officials dnd media people from several revisionist and imperialist countries in a “celebration” of its bloody and infamous anniversary. This will be a, day when the resounding victories achieved through the people’s own revolutionary struggles will be “hailed” as “the regime’s revolutionary achievement”. This will be a day when the innumerable crimes the regime of Col. Mengistu h.as perpetrated against the broad masses of Ethiopia will be dubbed “revolutionary”. This will be a day when the Soviet revisionists and their puppets will trumpet the regime’s counter-revolutionary propaganda against the masses and the Marxist-Leninist vanguard the E.P.R.P.. This will be a day when fascist Mengistu will “renew” his resolve to wage genocidal war against the Erit-

rean and Oromo people; to massacre workers, peasants and other labouring people and to wage “encirclement and suppression” campaign against E. P.R.A. In the last 12 months alone, the fascist regime has committed countless attrocities against the Ethiopian masses. It has-killed or imprisoned thousands of workers, peasants, and the revolutionary youth. It has banned the Confederation of Ethiopian L_abor Unions (CELU), Ethiopian Teachers Association (ETA), Ethiopian Women Coordinating Committee (EWCC), etc., and has killed or imprisoned many of their leaders. The regime has conducted an intensive reactionary propaganda as well as fascist campaign against the E.P.R.P. Its principle targets have been suspected members or supporters 0fE.P.R.P.. Consequently, many thousands of communists and gallant fighters from the working class, the youth and peasantry have been killed while heroically struggling against the regime. This regime which has left no stone unturned in its campaign of demagougy and b1en.d repression of the masses have, nevertheless’ not been able to stem the people’s revolutionary struggle. The frantic effort of the fascist regime to retard the struggle of the Eritrean combattants are scoring victory after victory so milch so that the tottering regime of Col. Mengistu is left with few towns to hold on. Even then the Eritrean liberation fighters have encircled these towns, and the regime’s demoralized soldiers and “people’s militia” are incessantly battered and can get supplies mostly only through air. This is not all, the Oromo people’s struggle is also surging high and is metting out telling blows on the reign of fascist rule. This being the case, the hated regime of Col. Mengistu has found it necessary to engulf the country with reactionary civil war in order to arrest the just struggle of the-peoples and the New Democratic Revolutioh led by E .P.R.P. At present the fascist regime is conducting a war of genocide against the Somali, Xarrari and other people’s in the Ogaden under the guise of fighting against Somalia. On the other hand, the reactionary Somaii regime is trying to achieve its expansionist and ultra-nationalist aims under the guise of fighting for liberation of the Ethiopian Somalis living in Ogaden. It is clear that the reaction&y war between the fascist Ethiopian regime and the reactionary Somalia regime is anti-people has counterrevolutionary designs, and is against the just struggle of the Somali, Harri and other oppressed nationalities for the right to selfdetermination. Col. Mengistu’s regime is a regime of national betrayal. While trumpeting empty “anti-imperialist” slogans, it has in reality changed between the Soviet revisionists and the fascist regime. Already Soviet weaponry is being used to carry out genocidal wars and massacre the revolutionary masses. The Soviet Union is now the principal military and political prop of the regime. The shift of alliance towards the Soviet Union that fascist Mengistu made means that the U.S. imperialists together with their puppets such as Sudan and Saudi Arabia will and have stepped tip their all-round political, military and financial aid to the archreactionary warlords and bureaucrats grouped around the EDU. Moreover, the U.S. imperialists are continuing to give bilateral and multilateral economic ‘aid’ and credits to the fascist regime. In the face of these enemies the Soviet revisionists, US imperialism and their puppets the fascist regime and the EDU; the Ethiopian masses led by the vanguard EPRP are raising high the banner of people’s war and revolutionary violence. In the countryside, the Ethiopian People’s Revolutionary Army under the leadership of the EPRP is scoring significant victories over the enemy forces. Assimba and other revolutionary base areas have already become advanced political, military, economic, and cultural bastions of the revolution 5The New Democratic Revolution (NDR) is unfolding in a big way.

With these three invincible weapons the NDR will be victorious and the struggle against feudalism,) imperialism and bureaucrat-capitalism will be carried through to the end.

Editorial

A further exposure roficiency program It has been widely publicized that forty two per cent of University of Waterloo students who wrote the English Language Proficiency Examination failed to pass it. lt is also publicized that the forty two per cent who failed to pass the exam will be “exempted” (“exempted” is the Newspeak word for passed) from the program as soon as they have demonstrated that they can write a “decent” paragraph of six or seven sentences free from major grammatical errors. I No student, then, who has demonstrated the ability to write a “decent” paragraph can honestly be said to have failed to meet the requirements of the English Language Proficiency Programme. However, the examination itself consisted of two parts - an essay part and an “objective” part. The essay part was given a weight of sixty, the “objective” part a weight of forty, in the examination grade. Some students then, may well have written a “decent” paragraph in the essay section of the exam, and would, therefore, have fulfilled the requirements of the program, but were nevertheless included, because of their objective score, among the forty two per cent who failed. To include students who have already fulfilled the requirements of the program among those who have failed is fraudulent, and a further indictment of this so called English Proficiency Exam. The chevron staff calls upon the Arts Faculty to release the standards of proficiency used in all the Proficiency Examinations given at Waterloo, to examine carefully all the documents and statistics related to the English Language Proficiency Programme, and to follow the lead of the University of Guelph in rejecting as inadequate the Proficiency Examination used at the university as well as all other unreliable proficiency examinations. . .the chevron

ylie unfit We, the undersigned, are currently, or have been, members of the Federation of Students council of 1977-78, along with Renison councillor, Larry Smylie, who is the subject of this letter. Shortly after his acclamation, last March, he said he would resign to enable another Renison student to run against him in a by-election, but never did. He resigned verbally after one of his motions was tabled, submitted a written resignation effective the night before a Renison by-election, and voted for the acceptance of his resignation, effective immediately, but later denied doing the latter, and hence is still on council. While on council, Smylie has threatened several councillors with criminal charges, introduced numerous, but useless counter productive motions, produced reams of paperwork and made long deliberations at council meetings all in support of his own political ideas. In our opinion, his behaviour has been inhibitive to normal council business, and his paperwork and numerous long-distance phone calls an unnecessary expense to the federation of students. Although he intends to run for president, we do not expect him to win, but are more concerned about his continued presence on council because of his past behaviour and request the students of Renison College to recall Larry Smylie, and elect a responsible representative.

EL.PP is

necessa

I wish to congratulate F.J. Kennedy Jr. for his letter which appeared in last week’s chevron. He is to be commended, both for his suggestion that the English Language Proficiency Program (ELPP) can be useful for students wishing to improve their writing skills, and for his illustration of the necessity for such a program. With a brilliant display of syntactical maladroitness, a glaring ignorance of the fundamental rules of grammar, and no sense whatsoever for spelling, Kennedy has succeeded in illustrating that the existence of the ELPP is indeed justified. I am, however, curious. Are phrases such as “of which I am in favour of,” “for those whom did not write this exam,” and “thinking we could write good,” along with the style of the entire letter, intentionally faulty? part of a technique designed to illustrate a point? If so, then I congratulate Kennedy for his thoughtful, though rather overdone, effort. But if this letter actually represents a high school graduate’s serious attempt to express himself in his native language, then I must conclude that the ELPP is not only necessary,

but a blessing

to our educational

system.

Shane Roberts called a half-dozen of his appointed executive into a room on September 24, 1976, fed them some of his fabrications, some rumours, and a lot of allegations. Based on this, they decided to close UW’s student newspaper. Roberts expected a little protest, but was sure it would all be over in a week, or perhaps four at the most. Instead it raged on for nine months - the biggest struggle ever to be fought on this campus; he lost his job and was forced to leave campus in disgrace: a corrupt and anti-democratic federation has been brought to its knees; and the.UW student newspaper has emerged stronger than ever. When the fight broke out, the chevron staff initially took the position that they had done nothing wrong and that the paper should be reinstated. As the struggle developed, however, we realized that to simply reinstate the chevron would not be enough to correct the situation. On the principle of due process, not only should the paper be reinstated as it was September 24, since it had never been given a fair trial, but an investigation should follow into the entire affair so that all the allegations made against the paper could be put to the test, and so that the federation could be made to answer for its actions. That position, Reinstate! Investigate!, was taken to council on October 17 and rejected. The staff, however, upheld that this was the only just solution, and fought on that basis. We have never compromised on the principle of due process! On June 26, after nine months of firm resolve on the part of the chevron staff, Students’ Council reinstated the chevron, with a 13-7-2 vote, and agreed to an investigation into the affair. It is too early for a full analysis of how and why we won. There are many factors which contributed to the victory, but a few basic points have become clear. We won because we refused to cower to all the might, money and bellowing of the federation. Its use of cops, lawyers, the courts, and agreements with the administration were all for naught because from day one we fought back. On September 25, the day after the locks on the chevron offices had been changed, we ddfied Shane Roberts and his three campus cops who tried to stop us occupying. At a kangaroo court on September 30 Students’ Council decided to close ahe paper, but there was never any question that we would continue publishing, even though we had no idea where the money would come from. That resolute spirit persisted throughout the nine months despite lock changes, phone and mail service being cut off, and all kinds of legal and physical harassment. We won because we took our fight to the people. We didn’t run to the police or the administration, and we only went to the courts when legal action was first taken against LB. Nor did we write our MPPs, which was Shane Roberts’ tactic for “student struggle” . Instead, we held mass rallies and forums, we handed out the paper every week, we went door-to-door mobilizing for general meetings . . . We placed our faith in the democrats on campus and across Canada, and they responded - some with money, donations from $5.00 to $200, some with just encouragement or news tips, others let us use their phones, and a lot came out at crucial times. Roberts’ bold eviction notice, reprinted on the front page of the free chevron, brought over 100 supporters streaming defiantly into the office within a couple of hours, while the president decided not to venture from his house. All the mass contact enabled us to explain our case, and dispel the slanders against the paper, but it also led to the isolation of the federation, who planned one blunder after *another behind closed doors. We cyan because we have put out a paper which has showed itself to be interested in dealing ‘with thg real issues facing students, and which exposed a corrupt and antidemocratic federation. As the struggle developed the pressure mounted on the federation to the point where its leaders now admit that it is on its knees; a monstrous bureaucracy with little student support to back it up, and, as a result of a battle that began last September, it now seems destined to be cleaned up, one way or another. For the chevron the struggle has brought forward a battalion of new students, and a paper that for some years did not do its job has been revitalized into a force on campus which is determined to take on the basic issues facing students, such as unemployment, education cutbacks and proficiency exams. This is a great victory; a victory for all the democratic people who fought for and supported the chevron. -the

It was rainy and muddy the day UW took on its ‘closest’ racked up another defeat.

University of Waterloo Football Warriors looked impressive Saturday despite losing to their cross town rivals Laurier Golden Hawks 15-8. It was a tough game to lose for the Warriors who managed several extensive drives against the much more experienced /Hawks. However drives which were continuously stopped by their own foolish penalties. “Damn it, we can play with anybody in the country, but we continue to go and kill ourselves by taking stupid penalties. ’ ’ , remarked Warrior Head Coach Delahey, upset by his team’s performance. It was the play of Laurier fullback Jim Reid which resulted in the ultimate Hawk win. Laurier’s first touchdown was a two yard plunge by Reid capping off an 11 play, 96 yard drive which

saw Reid carry for 81 of the 96 yards including two 20 yard gains. The second Hawk major score of the game, also in the opening quarter, came on a pitch out from Laurier quarterback Les Protopapas to halfback Phil Colwell who got around the right side and sped for 75 yards to the Warrior end zone. Laurier kicker Jerry Guyles managed to convert both majors and drove a 41 yard punt into the Waterloo end zone for a single to round out the Hawk scoring. Waterloo runningback Greg Jones again led the Warriors, rushing for 83 yards including the Warrior’s only touchdown late in the first half of play. Mike Karpow rounded out the Warrior scoring with a convert on Jones’ major and a booming 5 1 yard single out of the Hawk endzone late in the game.

The Laurier attack was strictly a ground game gaining 332 yards including Reid’s 160 yards in 26 carries and Colwell’s 110 yards. Hawk quarterback Protopapas tossed’ only one pass in the contest; it was incomplete 0 Warriors were penalized eleven times for 80 yards to the Hawks six for 65 yards. Warrior penalties however were stupidity and came unfortunately during crucial drives. HASH reMARKS: Warriors tomorrow host the McMaster Marauders at Seagram Stadium. . .

Queens out-rugbyed It was a bleak Saturday afternoon when the Warriors Rugby Team ventured out onto Columbia Field to meet an old rival, Queens. In the whole Warrior history they had never beaten Queens, coming closest in 1976 with a 20-20 tie. This time however, it was a totally new ballgame as the Warriors trounced Queens 22- 11. Due to the wet weather conditions, the ball was very hard to get a hold of and this made for sloppy ballhandling. The inclement weather made it necessary for Waterloo to call on its kicker, Dave “Golden Toe” King more often, and he booted in a whopping six penalties out of six attempts for a total of 18 points. King should now lead the scoring race as he now has 23 points from two games. The Warriors sole try came in the first half when a strum was formed on=the Queens five yard line. The Warriors pushed the Gaels over their try line, whereupon wingforward, John Ewing, along with seven other teammates pounced on the ball, and a try was awarded. Umfortunatd?ly, the cc3nversion attempt failed. The game was hard fmghi bq’ both sides and the spectmxs that

turned out despite the rain, really got their money’s worth (especially when you consider there is no admission charge for the games). The Trojan team fared a little worse than the Warriors when they drew a 6-6 tie with the Gaels. The Trojan try came when Mike Maniu took the ball from a set strum on the Gaels five yard line and dove over for a try. The Gaels had scored earlier in the game and so the game ended with a tie. The Warriors now have two wins in two outings, while the Trojans have won one and tied one. The next Warrior game is at Brock, but the next home game against York will not be until October 15, because on October 8 the Warriors will travel to R.M.C. (those guys with the funny haircuts) and the Trojans will play against Trent in Peterborough. Both teams played well, but the Warriors will have to improve their quality of play. They have yet to achieve their f~lll potential, but when they do, look out! The Irojans have some difficult games ahead of them so they are also going to have to work hard to get their game together.

Field hockey tours September 23, 24 and 25th the Women’s Varsity Field Hockey Team travelled to Michigan, U.S.A. for their first exhibition play of the season. On the way down, the team played Adrian College, Michigan. With a handful of veterans and a group of eager rookies, our home unit displayed great team play. Good forward rushing as well as solid drives from the backs lead to a 6-O victory over Adrian. Scoring were Marie Miller, Mary Campbell, Cathy Cumming (2) and Marj McRae (2). The team then boarded their bus and travelled to their final destination; Sauk Valley Michigan. Here, nineteen teams rallied for a “hockey weekend”. All teams played four games and the Waterloo girls were pitted against some of the U.S.’ best hockey schools. After a night of rain, the Athena’s played their. first game against Bowling Green University (Ohio). The battle was hard fought - ending in a O-O tie. Next was Purdue College (Indiana) who played a very physical game on a very slippery and muddy field. Despite strong defensive play by our backs and goaltender, Purdue tallied the victory 3-O. Saturday’s final game : Waterloo vs. Western Michigan. Both teams were equally matched and p,lay a very tight defensive and strong offensive game, but W.M.U. put the bail in the net ~~10~~etimes than did our home leana and at the final whistle the score stood 3 1 Western Michigan. Scoring for Waterloo

was Cathy Cumming. Waterloo’s final game was against University of Michigan. This was a very fast game with lots of deep passing resulting in a chasing game for the forwards. Although our girls played well, they couldn’t outscore the U.S. girls. Final tally 5-2 Michigan. Scorers for Waterloo were Cathy Cumming and Marie Miller. A rematch will be held on
