tiormaire After three years of drafting, revision and discussion, and amidst continuing debate, the Arts Faculty Questionnaire will be administered on a trial basis for two weeks starting November 21. Some 470 sections of Arts courses will be surveyed, bringing to a total 17,000 respondents to the first faculty-wide Arts course evaluation. About 14 students have been hired as fieldworkers to administer the questionnaire. Each fieldworker will be paid five dollars for -each section surveyed (estimated time 1.5 hours per section). Federation Board of Educa. tion fieldworker Morris Ilnyiak told the chevron that the questionnaire would cost about $4,480 altogether, plus computing costs. He said, computing would be done on or off campus, whichever is quicker. Expenses include fieldworkers’ salaries, designing and ordering new computer cards, printing costs (which MacDonald expects to be quite high), and computing costs. The cost will be shared by the Federation of Students Board of Education, Arts Society, and the Dean’ s Office. Asked why so many fieldworkers were hired rather than have each department administer the questionnaire, MacDonald replied, “Right now, that would be too complicated. It’s easier to keep tabs on just 14 people.” He added that after the questionnaire has been administered once or twice, the results published, and the whole project accepted, “we can have individual departments administer it, and that will be much cheaper.” Although the trial run of the spring term indicated that the questionnaire had “at least face validity”, there continues to be heavy criticism on the basis of the cost involved, and the actual working of the questionnaire. The questionnaire has three sections. Section 1 consists of 18 statements, each beginning “A serious problem was created . . .“, dealing with the professor’s classroom behaviour, performance, availability outside of class, marking sheme, marking behaviour and work load imposed on students, to which the student responds yes or

Allan Golombeck, OFS spokesperson, said that the changes were positive measures and were “related to the pressure experienced by Parrot while on his tour.” Though he said that OFS was pleased with the changes, he said they they still oppose major parts of the student aid program.” The changes that OFS says are to be made are: - a change in the scheme for loan repayments so that students would not have to begin repayment until six months after they find a job, rather than six months after graduation. - an exemption of part-time students from the eight-term limit on grant assistence. - a change to take into account the regional variation in the cost of living. - a change that would differentiate between those students living at home and those who are boarding. , - appeals procedures for those students whose parents refuse to sign the tax waiver. - the non-penalization of students who own cars. - a return to the old system of dealing with on-term earnings. Under the new system a student is allowed to make $75 per month with 100 per cent of the remainder being deducted from the grant. I that

no. Its stated purpose is to determine “whether serious problems existed in the offering and conduct of this course.” A “Serious problem” is defined, on the front page of the questionnaire, as “something which really interfered with your learning and progress in the course.” It is precisely this working that concerns a number of students interviewed, and especially Arts councillors Don Salichuk and Tim Little. Salichuk complained that there had not been any discussion prior to the Arts Society meeting last week which approved funding for the questionnaire.Little, too, said that members were confronted with a motion to accept the questionnaire and allocate nearly $3,000 towards it, whereas they were not familiar with the project. Little expressed that hope that the budget might be rescinded. “I’m very upset about it,” he said. “There should be a lot more investigation of it. The Arts Society should not have allocated money with so little discussion.” e He continued: “From what I’ve seen and read, the questionnaire doesn’t go near far enough in evaluating the course. It doesn’t allow for improvement of the course. ” He said he was not opposed to a faculty-wide questionnaire, but was opposed to this particular questionnaire and its working. “There is a lot of money being spent for a mediocre project,” he said. Although the Political Science Department agreed to have its sections surveyed for the Arts questionnaire, it will administer its own evaluation first. Both the Political Science Union (the students’ soci-, ety) and the department, especially the chairperson, strongly prefer their own questionnaire to the new one. Of course, the new questionnaire has its enthusiasts as well, most notably the Arts Faculty Questionnaire Committee. It was the committee that drafted the questionnaire and presented it to the Arts Faculty Executive and the Arts Faculty Council, and is in charge of the actual administration of the questionnaire. 1 terested in seeing were the major changes to the assistance program, which are to be announced in January. Particularly of interest will be the maximum and minimum limits set on parental and student contributions to education costs. These two factors are major determinants in the calculation of individual loans and/or grants. The levels at which the government sets these two factors will greatly determine whether or not the new program is an improvement on the old one. Parrott’s office did not comment on the story, but his secretary said that the minister had requested that she “make a list of all the people who want to speak to him about anything regarding the OSAP program. And he’ll get in touch with those people when he has some time cause right now his schedule is pretty hectic.” When the chevron first contacted the office of W.H. Clarkson he denied any knowledge of any’ memos outlining changes to OSAP. After he was told that one of the memos in question had been issued from his office with his name and signature, and had parts of the text read to him, he said that the memo was a “discussion paper” and that there had been no final decision on the material contained in it. Clarkson said that these were just,some suggested improvements. The chevron later found out, when it obtained copies of the memos, that

A demonstration against racist attacks, organised jointly by the East Indian Defence Committee, West Indian People’s Organisation and the Canadian People’s (Citizens and Residents) Defence Committee was held in Toronto last Sunday. About 7500 demonstrators shouting “Blame the Rich and not the People for Racist Attacks!“, “Se/f-defence is the qnly way!“, “Down with state-organised racist attacks on the people!“, and other slogans began in Nathan Phillips Square and marched to Queen’s Park. A delegation from the local branch of CPDC part;r&fed.

the -first page of the Clarkson “discussion paper” contained a paragsaying it was raphy “ . . . .information on the decisions which have been made to date as well as providing “ball park” estimates of some of the allowances and criteria you might expect in the new program. ’ ’ John Shortall, ‘an OFS fieldworker said that statement on the front of the Clarkson report was tantamount to the government acknowledging these changes. He also echoed Golombeck’s feeling that the change was the result of the hostile reception Parrott received earlier this fall. The actual report as to what changes to the OSAP program will be made is not expected until after Christmas, most likely in midJanuary. -doug

Coffee houses back on The campus centre coffee houses scheduled for November 20 and 27 and December 4 are now destined to take place, despite the fact that they were cancelled last week. At a federation executive meeting October 3 1, it was decided that the coffee houses should be cancelled in the face of mounting losses due to poor attendance. Federation president Rick Smit told students’ council last Wednesday that the coffee houses would cease after November 13. This would require the cancellation of contracts with performers who are to appear at the final three coffee houses. However, Smit decided Tues-

day that two of the coffee houses (on November 20 and 27) will be sponsored by the federation, at a total estimated cost of $200. But the money will not be taken from the Board of Entertainment budget. Smit told the chevron that the coffee houses will be paid for from the “executive budget”. The coffee house scheduled for December 4 will be taken over by the Campus Centre Board. Campus centre co-ordinator Carol Hincks told the chevron that the December 4 coffee house will be subsidized by the Campus Centre Board, and possibly some of the societies, -nick

udents struggle fiercely in Chile Despite severe repression under the Pinochet military dictatorship, the youth and students of Chile are waging fierce struggles, reported Camile Maturana, representing the People’s Front of Chile in an interview with the Quebec student newspaper Journal de la Majorite. Maturana is on a speaking tour of Canada. His speech at UW last Friday is reported below. University students have “ selffought the junta’s financement” scheme, which sought to make the students pay the entire cost of education, thus eliminating the right to free education which had existed in Chile for 20 years. Because of self-financement, said Maturana, the sons of poor peasants, workers and the unemployed would not have the opportunity to study. Also, thousand of students would find it impossible to return to school. To fight this the cells of the Resistance at the universities spread propaganda to make the facts known and called on the students to organise to oppose the self-financement measure. At first there was pessimism and fear that it would be an impossible struggle to win. “The (People’s) Front decided accordingly to throw itself into the struggle relatively alone and through its Resistance Committees throughout the country at the university level it started to organise sabotage of registration,” said Maturana. The students were organised to refuse to pay their fees and to demonstrate in protest. The military threatened grave sanctions, including expulsion to those who refused to pay, but the students con-

tinued with their struggle, and the junta had to back down. They reduced the fees and guaranteed a minimum amount of aid for books. Maturana said the junta wants to change education so that it serves, and is only available to the richest and most reactionary classes of society. The self-financing plan was to have been part of this. The junta’s other education policies have not fared much better. He said the junta has tried to impose in the secondary schools the practice of giving the nazi salute to the flag. In the popular sectors the youth instead brandish their fists. Also, when they sing the national anthem they youth sing the forbidden verse about the country being a “refuge from oppression”. _ Due to the economic condi-* tions, youth as young as 11 or 12 must seek work. Again, it is the poorer sections that are thus denied education. Maturana said the junta directs very demagogic politics towards the youth, it has set up a special Youth Bureau which puts foward a series of vacation activities to inculcate in the youth co-operativist ideas and in the schools of the rich it organises youth militia. The junta is trying to ideologically transform the youth, said Maturana. He said they were trying to instil1 in the youth a love for their country based on national chauvinism and defence of the dictatorship because it represents the flag and the country. He said in the schools this goes as far as imposing the study of works of Hitler and Mussolini. In opposition, he said, the students of the academy of fine arts formed a front of anti-fascist artists to combat fascism on the level of

E th

culture. Among their works are caricatures and stories ridiculing the dictatorship. Maturana said the students

Camile Maturana, a militant of the People’s Front and a reknowned poet of Chile, described the current situation in Chile and appealed for intema. tional assistance for the resistance movement at a meeting held at UW last Friday night. Maturana said the fascist regime had smashed all democratic rights, taken strict control of the media, and banned parliament and elections. He noted that even the electoral lists had been burned. The economic policies of the dictatorship have resulted in famine, 1 per cent inflation per day and 25 per cent unemployment since the military coup in September 1973. As a result of such conditions, the People’s Front of Chile was formed a few months after the coup. It is the organization of peasants, intellectuals, students, workers, small and medium-sized tradesmen, farmers and other patriotic individuals who have united in the struggle against the fascist Pinochet regime. Maturana spoke of the struggles of the Chilean students against the junta’s selffinancement scheme, which would mean that only the children of the rich could attend. Vigorous protests and refusal by students to pay their fees forced the government to back down and lower the costs of education. (A more detailed account of student and youth ’

have benefitted from co-operating with the Resistance cells in the fattories. This is in keeping with the Front’s aim to unite the broadest

struggle is givGi&ove.) The speaker also told how women’s groups had held large protests in the cause of missing persons and political prisoners. Women occupied the Supreme Court Building and held a hunger strike in the UN offices in Santiago. The Resistance Committees of the People’s Front have organised strikes, slowdowns, and sabotage of production in all parts of the country. The workers are demanding payment of overdue wages and re- hiring of laid-off workers. Maturana said there are two lines in opposition to the Pinochet dictatorship: the defeatist and the revolutionary. He explained that the defeatists, particularly Allende’s Popular Unity Party were preaching dependence on Carter’s view that Chile should allow more . “human rights”. Maturana explained that this would not liberate the Chilean people, that it would merely replace the Pinochet regime with a more liberal one while allowing the US im-perialists to hold on to their * interests in the country. This is in direct contrast to the revolutionaries, he said, who are fighting to overthrow the junta by popular armed struggle. Some leaders of the former Popular Unity government, who learned from the downfall of Allende, have

The People’s Front is fighting for a seven-point ‘ ‘ Minimum Programme’ ’ : _ - end of war tribunals and a general unconditional a,mnesty for political prisoners ; - restoration of democratic freedoms.

Maturana summed up the spirit of revolutionary movement by stating, “We are not fighting to change the mask of the dictatorship or to return to any obsolete form of government.” - martha pechekiy

Quebec students saw return to their campuses this week a militant student newspaper put out by former leaders of a once militant student organisation who were dismissed for their strong stand against the Quebec government. by the dismissed central counLe Journal de la Majorite, “produced cil of ANEQ (Association National des Etudiants du Quebec)“, holds as its role the defence of the basic interests of the students. ANEQ, the national student association of Quebec, also carried this task until October 1976, when the fifth congress of the organisation central council was purged. The organisation‘called the move a “dismissal”, while the former central council called it a “putsch”. Under the slogan of defending the basic interests of the students ANEQ led thousands of Quebec students to protest cutbacks in their education, especially in student aid. It emphasised that the students should depend on their own strength in fighting the govemts’ attacks, and not depend on anyone else, least of all the government, to solve their problems for them. The students’ militancy was rewarded by concessions forced from the Quebec government on student aid, and by the halting of a transit fare increase. The present leadership has reversed this position. They have held negotiations with the government, asking for improvements in student aid and for “democratisation” of education to allow more student input. Two editions of the Journal de la Majorite that were published under the new leadership came under fire in the latest edition. It says “the Journal de la Majorite ceased to vigourously denounce the attacks of the state against the students and to inspire the students to rise up and fight. On the contrary, it became an inert scrap of paper which had lost all its life which asked the students to go on their knees to beg the state to stop attacking them. The paper continues, “Further, the Journal de la Majorite promoted the rotten line of collaboration with the State: that the students must sit down with the same state_ that attacks them to ‘improve the eudcation system’, that the struggles of the students ‘disturb the normal course of things’, that the conflict in a particular university ‘could not practically be of the government’, etc.” settled without . . .the intervention ANEQ now publishes a magazine called “le Quebec Etudiant”. It said it gave up publishing the Journal because the paper “had no credibility with the students” due to “the manner in which it was written” by the old leadership. La Majorite charges in reply that the new leadership wanted to show that it had no connection with the leaders it purged so that the government would give it subsidies. The present leadership, which La Major-t& denounces as sellouts, reported recently that it was “almost certain” it would get $15,000 to $35,000 in subsidies. The front page story explaining the reappearance of La Major&e concludes that it is “only a matter of time” before the purged central council, whit h claims to represent the majority in ANEQ, regains control. -jonathan

Cutten vvins EngSoc presidency

An unusual number of candidates and a high turnout of voters highlighted the EngSoc elections ’ for president and vice-president, held Monday. Fraser Cutten won the presidential election with a vote of 2 11, leaving the other candidates far behind.

Mathsoc rep witis with 45% of vote (5 of 77) The MathSoc election for a first year regular rep drew’1 1 voters out of a total of 357 students who were eligible to vote last Thur’sday, November 3. John Sirrett squeaked in with five votes, while James Bakker came in a close second with three votes. Three ballots were spoiled. John Long, acting as chief returning officer for the election, told the MathSoc council that he “saw no effort by the candidates to get anybody out to vote”, and it was noted that Bakker received fewer votes than signatures needed to nominate him (five are required). MathSoc treasurer Valerie Carr suggested that future elections be held on a Monday, Wednesday or Friday since most lower-year math classes take place on those days. She added that most first-year students have electives in other faculties on Tuesday and Thursday, and if people are not in the building on the day of an election, “they won’t bother to come.”

1Correction

In the article “Chevron commission drafting its report” in last week’s chevron, it was reported that the commission had “completed its investigation into the legality and propiety of the newspaper’s closure last September.” It should be noted that the commission not only investigated the legality and propriety of the closure, which was one of its objectives, but also the reasons for its occurrance, which constituted another of its objectives. Further, in the same article, the third section of the commission’s objectives is reported to be “to make recommendations of the future relationship of the paper and the Federation of Students.” This requires some clarification, for the scope of the commission in this re,spect is quite broad and encompasses mmaking recommendations on the entire operation of the chevron itself as part of the Federation of Students. The pertinent section of the agreement that reinstated the chevron as a newspaper publication of the Federation of Students June 26, 1977, dealing with the third objective reads as follows: “(iii) To make recommendations concerning future policies, by-laws and structures of the Federation of Students concerning the operation of the Chevron and the employment of the Chevron staff, and generally concerning the publication of student newspaper(s) at the University of Waterloo.”

MathSoc council last Thursday, November 3. Thomson said that the pub will be held off-campus, and a band will be hired for the event. About 125 nurses from a local nursing school are expected to attend, and the pub will cost the societies $125 each if the expected attendance is attained. Thomson’s estimate is based on attendance by 600 people, including the nurses who will pay for their tickets. Thomson said that if attendance is poor, the societies might lose $300 each. Math Sot councillor John Long objected to making a financial== commitment on the pub, when “We (MathSoc) can’t even get people to come out to our own pubs in our own building.” Math Sot has cancelled its regular pubs in the Math building due to the lack of attendance (see last week’s chevron). However, MathSoc councillor Geoff Hains said that with proper “we could probably advertising, get quite a few mathies out .” MathSoc social director Andy Mueller told council that the commitment is within his budget, and added that since Math and Engineering combined comprise twothirds of the student population at UW, the pub “may have some effeet on the unity of this university.” -nick

It was an exciting match-up in the “A” -Division championship final, with a slick St. Jeromes team ’ pitted against a much smaller but very agile West D Alumni team. St. Jeromes came into the final with a perfect 8-O record, and with what looked like about half, the guys in that residence on that team. The West D Alumni didn’t have the shiney uniforms, nor the specialty units, nor a seasons worth of practices as they marched out on the field. But what they did have was what counts most - a conipetitive drive and ability. The game is tinderway.-Neale punts through the endzone for one point get get West D on the scoreboard first. St. Jeromes replies with a punt by Mike Kirk. Score is tied l-l. It’s a see-saw battle with neither teati making any real gains. And then it happens. West D Alumni have the ball in the closing minutes of the first half. Their quarterback throws to a receiver on a down and out day; it’s picked off and St. Jeromes is in good position for a touchdown. Devlin sends his receivers left to flood the zone, Paul Courneyer shoots, gets a perfect pass and runs in for a touch down. A lucky break says the West D Alumni, who quickly shore up their defensive holes and successftilly prevent St. Jeromes- from getting any more touchdowns during the rest of the game. The second half starts with Jeromes leading 7-l. West D’s which was surprisingly effective the first half loses steam and trouble holding the powerful Jeromei line back. This results Marc Thackery busting through sack West D’s quarterback in endzone for 2 points.

Although battling hard, West D just doesn’t have the same kind of horsepower the large St. Jeromes squad has.

The Warriors won the first game 69 to 56 against Technion of Haifa but again they were stopped by the Univ.of Tel-Aviv; 65 to 63. .The Univ of Tel-Aviv went on to win the tournement. Their final basketball game was exhibition game against the team which represented Israel at the World Student games in Bulgaria. The game- was held in Haifa and played at Wingate College. The Warrior? were defeated; 64 to 57. The Israeli attitude towards the tour by Warriors was cultural experiences mixed with athletic competition. Both were present. The Israeli’s provided, upon request, transportation for the team members to any places they wished to visit. The team visited Tel-Aviv,

Gaza Strip,. Jerusalem, Haifa, swam in the Dead Sea, saw Bethlehem, Jericho, the -Ein Geddi Oasis, and the Masnda, to name a few. The tournement itself brought people together from Belgem, West Germany, _Switzerland, and from all over Israel. The tournement involved many other sports than just basketball. The Univ of Waterloo basketball Warriors however were the only team present from the AmFricas. On the return trip from Israel the team was able to have a layover in Athens. This nicely finished the trip which the team enjoyed very much and for which the team was’ very thankful to their supporters who helped make it all possible. The $12,400 cost of the tour

had to be raised by the people here at the University. A basket-thon was held which raised about $5,000 of which $3,800 went to the Warrirors and the remainder went to The Canadian Amateur Basketball -_ Association. The lottery raised $3,040. The Federation of Students donated $1,000 and the Math Society donated $95. The remainder came from other donations and from the athletes themselves. There-was a $127.73 balance in the tour fund. This balance will be transferred to the Mike Moser Memorial Fund;Don McCrae speaking on behalf on the team has expressed thanks for all the interest and contributions from everyone.

Coca’s Nuts place first as a result of their better overall record, Recreation finishes second, and the only chance of another meeting of the two would be in the finals of the league championship.

The finals between the Math Sot and The Greeks proved to be a very defensive game with few really good scoring opportunities for either team. At the 16 min point in the first half, L. Georgion scored for the Greeks. This only goal was good enough to win the game and the Greeks held it to win the championship 1-O. In the B league, Plummers Best finished first with the Aarkwm right behind them. How-

ever, the Ha’way Lads defeated Plummer’s Best and Dirty Feet in order to advance to the finals. The Aarkvaarks showed that they were a strong team by defeating Renison Rats and CSA-Alpha in order to reach the finals. In the final game, Bill Jackson put Ha’way Lads ahead with a penalty shot in the first half. In the second half, the Aarkvark team started moving the ball better and eventtially resulted in a goal from W. Moffat and then the winning goal by captain Joe Battagaglia.

service ---.-----

reek sttidents,foughtand 1

Wednesday, November 17th marked the fourth anniversary of the death of 200 students at the Polytechnic School of Athens.

A memorial service commemorating these students will be held this Sunday in PHY 145 at 7pm. The service, sponsored by the Greek Students Association, will be held in rememberance of those students who fought the fascist actions of the Greek military dictatorship in 1973. The UW Greek Students Association last year described the massacre in a pamphlet. The first strike taken against the students of the Polytechnic School of Athens by the junta was on April

21st, 1967, shortly after the junta had taken power. The junta jailed and exiled student leaders and fired progressive teachers and professors.

They immediately implemented laws which drafted students who refused to attend classes, expelled students who rebelled against the actions of the junta and issued military officers to control the students and professors. The students formed an underground movement which engaged in active resistance against the junta. The pamphlet explains that the students used “bombs, proclamations, messages through tape recorders and printed matter” as fighting material.

The junta, in response, arrested and exiled many students. They also organized on a world scale by gaining informers in embassies and consulates and Greek communites who spied and informed on native Greeks. February 14, 1973, was another historical day in the existence of the Greek Student Movement. The students organized to boycott classes in protest of the law which drafted students who didn’t attend classes.

The police violated the students’ academic asylum by making several arrests. On November 14th, 1973, the students of the Polytechnic School of Athens organized a mass de-

die

monstration. That evening the students elected a 24-member synchronizing committee. This committee organized the students into a fighting entity. The number of demonstrators on campus increased to 50,000. On the evening .of November 16th, the police arrived, to throw tear gas at the demonstrators and to start shooting at the crowd.

At 1:OS am(Saturday, November 17th, 1973) the junta forces approached the demonstrators in tanks. The soldiers arranged themselves outside the school. At 2 pm the first tank ran over the iron gate of the school, the soldiers and policemen ran into the school.

That morning nearly 200 students were killed. One year later, though the political situation in Greece had changed, the demands of the students still had not been met. The fifteen demands of the students included such items as the right. to academic freedom and the right to democratic procedures concerning student organizations. The struggle of the students of the Polytechnic School of Athens was not suppressed that Saturday morning. That day served to pass the flame of liberty to the people of Greece to burn the foreign initiated and backed up military regime, of 1973, the pamphlet concludes. --heather

CC Board cmates new scholarships The Campus Centre Board (CCB) has established a fund of $10,000 which will be used to finance scholarships. The interest of $1000 per annum on the fund will be divided into awards of several hundred dollars each. The fund was .established from profits made in the campus centre games room. The profit from the machines is divided equally bet-

ween the CCB and the Federation of Students. At a CCB meeting Tuesday, representatives discussed the ways in which the scholarship could be administrated. Concern was expressed that different faculties receive equitable consideration when awards are made, and there was a suggestion that part of the funds each year be earmarked for visa students.

KENT, Ohio (CUP) L- About 1,500 students demonstrating peacefully at Kent State University in Ohio met with police armed with tear gas clubs Oct. 22. The students staged the march despite a last-minute court order forbidding their demonstration against university plans to erect a gym on the site of the 1970 shooting of four anti-war protestors. The demonstrators and onlookers were twice stormed by county and campus police with clubs, tear gas cannisters, police vans and horses. They were also threatened

with M-16 rifles and at least one machine gun, according to reports in the New York Guardian. Students have been demanding a halt to the gymfor several months and have regularly held large demonstrations. They have also called on the university to recognize the injustice of the 1970 shooting, committed by Ohio National Guardsmen. The Kent administration is seeking a permanent injunction banning all gym rallies until June 1978 and banning non-students from campus gathering.

’ t

The CCB will continue its discussion on how to administrate the scholarships at its next meeting. The CCB is a body of representatives from students, faculty and staff, responsible for the operation of the campus centre. -nick

I Six samples breed radical changes Proficiency

exams

Last June the University of Waterloo hosted a conference at which ninety-two “educators”, mostly Ontario High School teachers pieselected for having “special concern” with their students’ writing skills, told each other what they thought about writing skills and the university ‘student. On the basis of six writing samples which the UW Proficiency Proghad ramme representatives

thoughtfully provided in advance, and from the results of a proficiency exam for which they neither asked nor received the grading two criteria, these ninety educators, in an amazing tribute to thorough and patient investigation, agreed immediately that there were many university students with inadequate writing skills. Within two days they succeeded, without a single dissenting. opinion, in formulating for universities and gov-

ernment a dozen recommendations whose implementation would, besides improving the lot of High School English teachers, alter the financing, curricula and standards of universities, teachers, colleges; and high schools. While two days of opinion gathering- might, to most of US, seem inadequate foundation for such wide-ranging recommendations, the University of Waterloo has seen fit to spend its prestige in backing five “special committees” *which have been established to look into the implementation of these recommendations. The conference and the English Language Proficiency Programme, perhaps because of the lightninglike speed with which they deliberate, have left unanswered a number of questions which are merely basic and fundamental. Since in complete contradiction of the principles of research, they weren’t answered in the course of the “research” done at the conferi=nce, would the Proficiency Programme Committee please answer them now. 1. Since the proficiency examination is new, experimental, constantly changing, and administered under atypical conditions, while, according to a univer$ity bulletin, “for complete accuracy students should be tested in various ways over a long period of time”, why are the results of the proficiency exam used to overturn the judgemer$s qf High School teachers who ahave tested their students in various ways over a long period of time?, 2. If students who fail the proficiency exam are unable to write with “minimal competence” and do not have the skills necessary for university level work, how is it that they continue to be given .good grades from the people, i.e. their professors, most competent to. judge university level work?

$549.00 Buys It All

3. If students who fail the proficiency exam cannot write well enough to do their course work, then they will not graduate. Why then is it necessary to compel students who have successfully completed their course work to prove that they can write well enough to pass the proficiency exam? 4. What evidence is there that the university can, in its remedial programme, accomplish in thirteen weeks what the Proficiency Programme mai/ntains has not been accomplished by the schools in thirteen years? 5. To what extent is the poor showing of students in proficiency exams a result of applying obsolete rules of grammar to a changing language? What consfitutes a major grammatical flaw? 6. Concerning the recommendations of the Writing Skills conference, what evidence is there that increasing the number of English classes will improve the quality of student writing? 7. What, if any, are the side effects of an increased emphasis on %English? How, for instance-, will it influence the participation ra&e in universities of the socially and economically disadvantaged segments ‘of our society?

lipunk rock is so “anti-establishment” why is it that Eatons andSimpsons have come out with a tbll /ihe in Punk rock fashions? In the article below the author argues that the latest fad is an attempt to have a dissatisfjed youth take up anti-conscious fascism as a lifestyle.

The poets: 8: 30-9:00: Rienzi Cruz came‘to Canada from Ceylon in 1965 and is presently a librarian at the University of Waterloo. In 1974 Rienzi published Flesh and Thorn from which he will read. W.J. Barnes, editor of the Kingston Quarry, says of this work: “If you want to share a sensibility which is primitive and sophisticated, both intense and subtle, a poetic craft which is taut and concentrated, then read Flesh and Thorn”: 9:30-10:00: W.K. Thomas last year published Bonding of Bone through Pasdeloup Press of Stratford and has individual poems appear in such journals as English Quartekly, College English, and Wascana Review. A large portion of his poetry explores different kings of love-romantic, filial, and divine - and ranges from despair through rejoicing to wonder. His other poems vary from reflective through playful to satiric. 10:30- 1l:OO: Nancy-Lou Patterson is Associate Professor of Fine Arts. She will be reading from her book, All Green Creation (St. Paul’s Press, 1969). Earle Bimey says of her work: “She is continental in her range and international in her spirit, but her eyes do not lose sight of unique small things that bring excitement to particular lives and places.” 11:30-12:00: Peyton Brien originally from Tennessee USA is presently at the University of Waterloo studying Anthropology. He has published a book entitled Dance in 1974 and is presently completing a second book entitled Rambo< He will be reading poems from his newer work the evening of the Symposium.

Toronto is corssidered one of the mujo-r centres for Punk Rock, and in this comment, reprintedfrom the Toronto Vat-sity, Et-ic McMillan ut-gues that the fud is being prrshed in an attempt to di\pert youth from real rebellion. McMillan, a formes Varsity editor, is at present a ITolrrnteer staffer on the U of T student paper. This is u slightly edited \lersion oj the asticle which appeured in the Varsity Ott 21. Punk rock is being pushed as the music of rebellion when in reality it is another scheme cooked up by people interested only in profits and protecting their power from attack by genuine youthful revolt. This punk lifestyle is so “antiestablishment that both Eatons and Simpsons have come out with fall lines of punk rock fasions. It is so “underground” that Macleans, the Globe and Mail and most other media started publicizing it long before most of today’s few punk rockers finally caught on. It is so iconoclastic that record companies, promoters, and other businesses have plastered posters all over town, produced glossy album covers, backed punk rock ‘ ‘ showcase’ ’ events, and pushed punk numbers on the airwaves. Moreover, when you look at the content and style of the music and punk paraphernalia, you quickly discover there’s nothing new about it. It resurrects the absolute worst of past decaying cultures: racism, sexism, nihilism, mindless aggres-

sion, decay, and the symbolism and ideogoly of nazism. One of the founders of punk rock, David Bowie, has often expressed his admiration of Hitl,er and the fascist movement in Britain. Punk heroes such as Natzee Dog and Johnny Rotten would be jokes were it not that they promote to varying degrees criminally vicious anti-people attitudes. . Although this is being sold as a backlash against 1960’s music having gone soft, a little investigation shows that punk is being used in the same way that various “New Waves” of rock and pop music were used in the last decade. In the 1960’s there was a widespread upsurge against racial discrimination, U. S. aggression in Vietnam and Cambodia, and authority on the campuses. By the end of the decade this was being sidetracked into the so-called counter-culture. Being a flowerchild or drug addict was supposed to be rejecting society’s values. Dylan, the Beatles, and the acid rock groups of San Francisco lived high off the hog posing as figures of rebellion. Never mind that all the accoutrements of hippiedom were provided by enterprising businesspeople. Or that the record companies cleaned up. Or that everyone involved in the counterculture then could tell you that the biggest dope dealers around were the police. Or that Pierre Trudeau and other rich people were quite content to tell young people to hit

Stone”

the road and live the life of hippies. The objective of turning young people away from rebellion into self-absorbed quitters and of discrediting progressive politics was only partially achieved and only for a while. Today the economy is in an irreparable mess. Prices continue to rise as wages are held back. Masses of young people cannot find employment and face an even bleaker future. Politicians have talked about this “time-bomb” which threatens to destabilize” society and have answered by cutting unemployment benefits, cutting services, and starting up programs like Katimavik (known as “Bamey’sBrownshirts” in reference to the Hitler Youth of the 1930’s) for young people. In the midst of this crisis, along comes this fad of punk rock. If you’re fed up, the answer is to tear your clothing, act like a Troglodyte, and engage in stupid violence and brutal sex. Moreover, this trick against young people tries to sneak in racist, sexist, anti-conscious fascism as a lifestyle. But young people and students are not going to fall for this manipulation. People are not so ignorant as to accept glossy posters and not ask where they are coming from and why. It is easily recognized that the interests of those who would like to see punk rock degeneracy catch on among young people do not have the same interests as most of the youth themselves.

st of the West. Corning dear out of the West, a prairie taEe of love, jealousy and deceit, that’s ‘Cruel Tears”, recognized as one of the most original and creative works of theatre to emerge from Western Canada in many years I The show premiered in Saskatoon’s Persephone Theatre in the Spring of I975 and played to packed houses. It was praised by critics from across Canada, and played for international audiences in Vancouver for Habitat in June I976 and for the Olympics in MontExah “Cruef Tears*‘ was written by Regina novelist-playwright-journahst-actor-teacher Ken Mitchell and Gary ‘“Humphrey” Walsh of Humphrey and the Dumptrucks. In the September of 1974, the Dumptrucks and Mitchell agreed to work together in the creation of a country and western opera for Persephone Theatre. What emerged was a distinctly creative effort. “Cruel Tears” is a play that grew out of the realities and myths of prairie Iife. Johnny Roychuck, a rugged truck driver of Ukrainian descent, falls in love with the boss”s daughter Kathy, who tames him. This father is outraged that his daughter chooses a man much beneath her, but is finally won over by Johnny’s natural drive to get ahead

in the world and by the boy’s affection for his daughter. All is sunshine and flowers for a time. As Johnny is promoted at his father-in-law’s firm and starts to wear a tie, he becomes increasingly estranged from his fellow truckers or “knights of the road” as they call themselves . The music of “Cruel Tears” is basic to the play and sets it in a class by itself. The songs range from the exuberant, sardonic and free-wheeling to the gentle and balladic. The music of Humphrey and the Dumptrucks continually comments on the action as the characters sing their situations. The Dumptrucks are on stage throughout, playing their blend of country, folk and bluegrass music. Gary “Humphrey” Walsh will not be performing with the group on tour. Appearing with them instead will be Bob “Cat” Evans who plays guitar, dobro, banjo, kazoo and sings as well. The show is directed by Brian Richomond, with Winston Rekert and Anne Wright recreating ‘their rolesof Kathy and Johnny. It will play at the Theatre of the Arts this Friday and Saturday at 8pm. Tickets are $6, Students/ seniors $4 and available at the Main Box Office, Modern Languages

Drama group 4 m

ther Courage ”

The’ great classic German play “Mother Courage and Her Children” written by Bertolt Brecht, is being presented by the University of Waterloo Drama Group under the direction of Maarten van Dij k , a facuhy member. The music which was written for the play by a close friend of Brecht”s, Paul Dessau, is an EntegraI part of the action on stage, and is being performed by a small orchestra under the direction of WLU music student Bruce Gremo _ Bertolt Brecht, who died in 1956, is often cahed the Shakespeare of the 20th century, because of his great influence on modem theatre. He fled from Germany with his family in the early 1930’s on the advent of National Socialism. It was during this period of exile that Brecht wrote what are considered to be his more important plays. The best known and most successful of these is “Mother Courage and Her Children? The pIay, which is subtitled “A Chronicle of the Thirty Years War’” centres on Germany’s in-

volvement in the brutal, purposeless war of 1618 to 1648, in which she lost entire cities and half of her population. Ironically, Brecht completed “Mother Courage” on the eve of World War II. The play is both comic and profound, deeply moving and highly entertaining. Brecht’s vision and depth of expression make it a masterpiece of theatre. Travelling with her canteen wagon, Mother Courage follows in the wake of the armies, hoping to sell her food and drink to the soldiers. She is a shrewd business woman who wants to live off of the war without giving anything in return. Ultimately, she is forced to give up her three children to it. The songs and music used throughout the play serve to reinforce the power of the drama and its contemporary relevance. The show runs November 15-19, gpm, Humanities Theatre. Tickets are $3, students/seniors $2’and available at the UW Arts Centre Main Box office, Room 254, Modern Languages building, and at the K-W Symphony office, 56 King Street North, Waterloo.

Never. The President made that promise to himself last Thursday afternoon, after Richard blew an important new-business presentation. _ Richard isn’t incompetent. The villain is his lunches, or rather the too-many drinks he often has at lunch. Come afternoon, he’s just not as sharp as he was in the morning. Richard is playing dice with his health. His oldfashioned business style _is also sabotaging his career.

Today, with competition so rough and stakes so high, even the most generous company can’t be patient for long with an employee whose electiveness ends at noon pi you’re a friend, do Richard a favour by reminding him of the good sense of moderation. You can bet the man eyeing his job won’t help him.

’ Entre-six explores relationships

In the final, exciting lift which was the most simple, a man lifted a woman in one rigid, vertical piece like someone carrying a flag. Their flag. Their pride. It was a knowing, calm and understated exit epitomizing not only the power within secure human relationships but ‘choreographically, within secure movement relationships. The second .new work of the evening, En Mouvement, is probably Gradus’s most enigmatic work to date, set to equally enigmatic music by Vincent Dionne composed specifically for the dance. The music curiously combined sacred sounding passages of bell and drum music, futuristic electronic music, lyrical piano, poignant violin and humorous xylophone music and somehow managed to stay low profile and almost work! En Mouvement was a ballet or perhaps a rite for hand and arm gestures animalistic. Their hands vibrated, fraught with implications.

Part of the pleasure and excite,ment in repeatedly viewing the work of any one particular artist is in the resulting recognition of progress and growth. The return of the Entre-Six Ballet Company to the -Humanities Theatre on Thursday, November 3-d, provided this vi& wer with just such a pleasure. Lawrence Gradus’s choreography has become markedly more sophisticated and distinct and his company is dancing with more technical strength, clarity and spirit than ever before. The first of Gradus’s new works, Nonetto, was a brightly orangecostumed, vibrant dance consisting of two pas-de-deux linked by a quartet. It was a compact work exploring various types of relationships. The dancers, always physically close, traversed from playful, fleeting and flirtatious movement communications to more somber, gripping and clutching encounters., The overall sense of both pas-dedeux was about being “there” for each other. These were beautiful, caring relationships. The male dancers were never used to enhance or display the female dancers even in the lifts. Energy and focus r

With the eye forced to absorb so much intricate activity at one time, the company appeared at least double its size. . . . . .a fascinating tool for illusion. Of course, watching two monkeys scratching and competing to The Blue Danube always sparks off laughter, applause and delight. The

Monkey Duet is a touching and charming work which was performed with particularly acute timing and sensitivity and freshness at this performance. The children’s shows over the weekend were sell-outs and I’ll bet there were lots of very eager, very big kiddies in those seats. -diana

That’s what happened last Thursday night, when he played here to a packed PAC. The dpm concert got off to a lame start. Chapin arrived an hour late, and in the interim the only entertainment was hearing new Fed Prez Rick Smit cajole the audience into “having a party time”. Smit got more groans than results for his efforts. When Chapin first appeared on stage, people were pleased, but tired of waiting. The band, Chapin commented, would have to “play twice as good as we really are”, having been late. So, although they played well, the audience’s reaction was, while not unhappy, not excited. People walked out and into the gym. Slowly Chapin changed that. He talked of the people behind of songs, of the band, of their problems. He sang, happily, bitterly, ironically, and well. He showcased his brother, Steve, who plays piano for the group. Steve sang “I let time go lightly (when, and .,. . I’m with __you)” --. . “Love 1s not in season”. His voice is gentler, and hence lacks the harsh character that typifies his brother.

200 ‘entranced in” Tank concert

A warm crowd of over 200 people showed up at the Theatre of the Arts, last Saturday, to hear a concert by John Tank and his quintet, including guest pianist Bernie Senensky, and electric guitarist Munoz. A native of Kitchener, Tank, has been performing in New York City’s jazz circles for years, but has returned to K-W for several concerts this fall, including two held previously on campus. The evening began with a flute solo by Tank, which soon evolved into a full j-piece tune, with the other musicians joining in. As the evening progressed, Tank switched to tenor sax, and alternated solos with Senesky, Munoz, and David Miller, who played soprano sax with the group after the intermission. Although the drummer and bass player had their solos, the highlights of the evening were the lead musicians, who gave their fingers more exercise in an hour than mpst players do in a week. The strong influence of John Coltrane on the band became apparent during occasional bouts of total “free form”, which left this listener

Despite these spells, the performance was quite pleasing, as the band played well together, mellowing occassionally to balance their soaring, high-energy blasts. Although some people left early, one girl was so enchanted by the music, she was dancing in the aisle. --stephen

Last week there were a few problems with this page, including a silly, frilly border on one of the poems, and a graphic that reproduced too faintly (this seems to be quite difficult when there are thin lines in a graphic. that has to be shot in halftone). Again I must stress the importance of typing entries, and leaving your name and phone number with us. One anonymous handwritten entry has a couple of illegible words, and we cannot reach the author (obviously). Note that you can instruct us to print a pseudonym, but we must at least have your name for the record. 4mn I

Ha!

I bellied up to the bar and demanded myself a tall cool one to cut through the prairie dust. (I staggered towards the bar as fast as the saddle sores in my crotch, and the friction from the rough spun denim would let me. In a blast of halitosis he demanded a nickel and shouted, “It’s all we got, drink up or get the hell out!“) “You’re new in town ain’t ‘cha cowboy?” the bartender said with a friendly voice and a twinkle in the eye. (“Goddam strangers,” he muttered, casting me a blood-shot eye.) “Been a long day’s ride from Abeline,” I said to those gathered round the bar. “Long and dusty,” I said, punctuating the remark with a quaff of cold ale. (“Servile crud,” I muttered to the barkeep. I glanced about me at the rabble gathered at the bar, instantly deciding I didn’t need another dull discussion of how many smelly cows a man had sold in the past year. I risked a sip of the warm gritty lager. It was unstrained and unsterile. The only hops it would ever see would be a drunkard’s DT’s. It burned down the throat like a pure alcohol.) “Ah,” -I sighed in enjoyment of the brew. It had been a long ride in the parched heat of high summer. I leaned against the bar, staring at a busty bar maid, making her way to-

wards me. I caught a strong whiff of perfume, glimpsed the pinkness of her brests and focused on the yed of her lips and the blue of her eyes. She wore a crimson dress, scooped low in front, and her golden hair was held high with crimson ribbon. “Buy a lady a drink, cowboy,” she purred seductively. (As I strained my guts to avoid puking up my supper of cold beans and leaden bisa skinny whore cuits, tramped up beside me. She had the noxious odor of-a prairie dog’s armpit, standing there in a tattered red dress, her mousey brown hair held half way by a bit of binder twine. “Twenty bucks, shitkicker,” she spat. “Take it or leave it.” “Maybe we can talk later,” I said, winking a hint of pleasures to come. “I think right now, I’ll play a few hands of poker.” (I left it! In my hurry to back away, I collided with an empty chair, and sat with a lurch.) “Five card stud,” said the dealer, his raspy voice wrapping itself about a huge stogie. “Ante up, boys.” (The dealer glared up at me. He let go a waft of foul smoke from his COW dung ceegar. I, cautious of the Colt revolvers positioned in front of each player, spilled a dollar coin into the center of the table. If all present pulled the trigger, I would be dead four times over.) The dealer set his smoke on the edge of an ashtray, and crisply shot out the cards. They fell one at- a time with a soft swish,

neat piles in front of each player. All sat grim with determination - poker faced. (I apologized to each player as I reached about the table to assemble my hand. My eyes blazed as I surveyed the four aces of my good fortune. Subdued and guided betting could net me a healthy amount. The bet came to me. I surveyed the grim and expectant ,faces, the twitching of certain fingers on cards, and the black port of each man’s revolver.) “I’ll match that,” I said calmly. (My fingers nervously tossed out another dollar. I decided that winning with four aces was not a way to win friends and influence people.) The bet travelled around the table, growing constantly into a tidy sum. The dealer dealt out more cards. He eyed me with a cold metallic eye. “How many cards, stranger?” (The five dollar pot wasn’t worth dying for. In the interests of good health and long life, I threw out two of the aces, and a greasy nine card. The dealer gave me a dirty look, and threw three more cards at me when I politely requested them.) I calmly matched the current bet, and drew my cards into a neat stack. With cool determination I watched each man drop out, until it was just the dealer, and me. (In the rush to abandon poor cards, I was the last to scream “Fold!” and found myself face to face with the dealer. .He bet up to see my cards. With a cloud of dung

smoke he muttered,” Turn ‘em over.“) _ l flipped over my pair. The dealer smiled strangely, then went for his gun - but I was faster. In a split second I was standing, gun drawn, and pointed dead between the dealer’s eyes. (It was a {pair alright, both aces, both spades. In a dead panic I stood to run. My sleeve, catching my gun holster, pulled the piece up and launched it forward. I reached out to grab it, before it smashed into the dealer’s face. He froze solid. Had his concentration been on anything other than the point four-five bore of the pistol, he would have noticed, my quivering hands, and four fingers wrapped tightly around the butt of the weapon - not a one near‘the triggerj!) It was my turn to smile. “Out in the street, card cheat!” I spat. I withdrew toward the bar doors, then exited. (I quickly reholstered my gun, fearful that one of the cretins might possibly be able to count as high as four, and solve the trigger finger puzzle. Had it not been for the fact that it takes millions of years to evolve a sixth finger, I would have shot the bastard then and there. I was prepared to wait, but circumstances were not. I retreated toward the street.) I barged out of the bar, steeling myself for sudden ambush. Every nerve in my body tingled. I walked slowly, and calmly as my eyes scanned every nook and cranny. (Well dammit, anyone can forget where

they

parked their horse!) “It’s your move, cowpoke.” It was the gravelly voice of the card dealer. (Somehow I had -gotten turned around in the dark. I could hear the cigar smoker’s froggy voice mumbling behind me. “What a dummy.“) I spun about, pausing in my draw. Shot in the back by a card cheat was not my choice for an hon.ourabledeath. I focused on a dark silhouette, outlined in the pale moon light. (I jumped near out of my skin, and found- myself facing the other way. Even straining my eyes I could see nothing in the darkness.) With hand and eye in perfect coordination, we waited, long hours it seemed,-for a single twitch of weakness -aweakness which would lead to a man’sdeath. I could feel my gun leg tingling. (I had tied thatdamn string on the bottom of my holster too tight again. My foot was falling asleep.) Theweaknesscame! A twitch, lightning action; and the thunder and lightning of shots ringing out, followed in quick succession. I had not been hit. I felt sure my opponent had been wounded, but the-code of the west allows no second chances. We would both leave town, headed for better frontiers. (I felt the whizzing blast of six bullets, as he missed with every shot. I, myself, pumped six rounds in rapid succession, so nearmyfootthatwell, I never did get the damn gun out of the ho!s-

Equally. disgusted In a letter in last week’s Chevron, (‘ ‘ Thoroughly Disgusted’ ‘) R. Wardell asks who the hell am I? Well, I am in 3B Applied Chemistry, I am the Co-op Science councillor on the Federation of Students’ council, and I am a member of the chevron staff. (I’ll show you my ID card if you’re still not satisfied). The title on my article (“Smit Wins, Feds Lose”) was chosen by someone else, apparently because my suggested title (“Smit, Refundable Fees Win Big” wouldn’t fit. If you don’t believe me, you try laying out just one page (let alone a whole paper). If you had actually read my article, you would have realized that what you inferred from the title _ was not the tone of the body at all. (can’t judge a book by its cover.. . ) But wait a minute, when I looked through the Student Telephone Directory, I didn’t see your name, so I must ask, Mr/Ms . Wardell, who the hell are you?

roeder mistaken

Dr. Schroeder is mistaken. Marxism is not based on atheism. Marxism is based on the fact that private ownership of the means of production causes suffering. Marxist theory on religion and history are secondary and are not necessary for the main statement of fact which is the motivating force of all true Marxists. Genuine socialism is Marxism slightly reduced and there is no reason why a Christian would not be perfectly content to live ina socialist society. Indeed as St&ve Schildroth pointed out it-is the duty of Christians to be Socialist. This can be emphasized by saying that socialism is the philosophy of ‘one for all and all for one’, and is based on goodness and brotherly love whereas Capitalism is the philosophy of ‘every man for himself and is based on selfishness which is incompatable with Christianity. Don Fraser’s letter was a good example of the uninformed distorted view of Manxism that has resulted from _reactionary propaganda and has been aggravated by those who label themselves Marxist in an effort to associate themselves with socialism, which is democratic, while operating in or endorsing a totalitarian way. Examples of these distorters are Russia, China, the other communist countries and possibly (I don’t have the facts) the A.I.A. and other MarxistLeninist groups. Stanislav Reinis displayed the same distorted view. He said that the road from Marxism to Stalinism is natural. He relates Marxism to the totalitarian and perverted communism practiced by Russia, China et al. For a proper perspective on Marxism I advise those interested to contact the Socialist Party.of Canada. I believe in the goals of the A.I.A. so far as they want to eliminate Capitalism and Imperialism. However if their method of elimination is at all foreshadowed by their manner

movie which was co-sponsored by the Federation of Students. This poster depicted Hitler and Chairman Mao together as if they were friends. The International Students Association feels that this action is a great mystification of the truth and only serves to pretify and promote fascism. In the past, we have brought speakers from Zimbabwe (Rhodesia) who are fighting the racist Ian Smith Regime, we have heard. speakers from Chile who are fighting the fascist Pinochet regime, we have sponsored speakers from Azania (South Africa) who told of the brutal suppression of the Azania people and the resistance to the fascist regime. All these speakers, told us of the atrocities of their government, of the massacres and brutal suppression of their people, of the fascist terror unleashed on them, sponsored and directly aided by the US. All these speakers also had a clear message that the people had risen up to fight for their freedom, to fight for a new society, one free from exploitation of man by man. These speakers also had one clear message that the work of Mao TseTung was a great inspiration to them and to their people to rise up against all kinds of oppression. Any attempt to put Chairman Mao and Hitler together in a poster, or to call the fascist Mussolini a communist is an attempt in our opinion to promote and prettify Hitler and Mussolini. It is a shameful attempt to say that the oppressors and those leading the oppressed against fascists like Ian Sniith of Rhodesia, Vorster of South Africa, Pinochet of Chile, the Shah of Iran, etc. are the same. Such slanders of the people fighting these regimes, to equate them with Mussolini, or Hitler is designed only to serve the present Mussolinis and Hitlers and their ilk! We have nothing but contempt for these people and this viewpoint. International Students Association

Who are the good guys \ “In the AIA lingo, fascists are what you and I would call the good guys and democrats are the AIA”. This was the reasoning of a “Frank-Spooner” in last week’s chevron. He said he defined what the AIA says about democracy and fascism but every sentence of his “AIA definitions” is a total lie, a big mystification which the AIA has never stated. I have been around people of the-AIA and have read their material constantly for the past couple of years, What “Mr. Spooner“ calls the good guys, ie. the gov’t that continuously denies native people, their hereditary rights and subjects them to the most brutal suppression, the gov’t that raises tuition fees to make it next to impossible to go to university, the gov’t that cuts offthousands unemployed workers from UIC through such measures as Bill C-27 and the social system that denies every person a job, no inflation, etc. The “good guys” whose secret police the RCMP are used to harrass and carry out all kinds of attacks against progressives, native people, striking workers, etc. The ‘ Lgood guys” who deny workers wages to rise and keep it under the inflation levels while profits skyrocket. The “good guys” who sell nuclear reactors to fascist South Korea, to India, Argentina: who support the fascist regimes of Ian Smith of Rhodesia, of Chile, of Iran, etc. and deny the Canadian people the right to support the overthrow of these regimes. The “good guys” who throw a youth in jail for spitting at a cop but give high acclamations to those who lay off thousands of workers, etc. The hell with your abstract defintions and to your “good guys”, Mr. Spooner! Brian Lee

ins In my letter of a few weeks ago I called$he AIA (Anti-Imperialist Alliance) a cheap

fraud. I think 1’11 have to revise that statement. The AIA is an expensive fraud! The cost of the AIA to UW students is incalculable but one of the most obvious and scandalous prices we have to pay as students is the salary of the chevron Editor, Neil Docherty. This man is paid $160.00 a week by us &d under the by-la& has sole editorial- authority for the newspaper. He has a pretty hefty staff budget too, a full time Production Manager (also $160/wk.) a News Editor (same salary), and there’s an ad manager and a secretary paid out of the Board of Publications whose chairperson admitted that these two spend about 90 per cent of their time working on the chevron. Depending on how you boil it down there are four or five FULL TIME positions for the production of twenty tabloid pages week, of which almost half are ads. These people are pnly responsible for writing and layout. The paste-up and other elements of physical production are contracted out to commercial typesetting /and printing establishments. At the top of this $800/wk staff is the AIA champion Neil Docherty, editor-in-chief. Now by itself that might not cause anyone alarm. Just because somebody is a member of a political party is not a cause for concern. The problem with Mr. Docherty is the nature of his party and his own unquestioned loyalty to that party’s avowed goal of smashing the Canhdian state. In my letter some weeks ago I went into detail on the five major themes displayed by the AIA, and what was wrong with them. Briefly to recapitualate, the AIA claim to be communist and are in fact not, the AIA claim to be democratic and are in fact the antithesis of democracy, the AIA accuse enemies of using McCarthyite tactics when if fact they themselves are masters of just such tactics. The AIA claims to defend the basic interests of students while showing total contempt for the expressed wishes and interests of those student? and the AIA labels any and everyone who opposes them fascist, while themselves adopting fascist tendencies and policies which would have looked good on Hitler. In that letter I also showed how the AIA uses Orwellian newspeak to confuse issues. One of their favourite tactics is to acc,use their opposition of the very crimes they themselves are guilty of. Words like democracy, fascist and McCathyite are misapplied in a fashion designed to mystify the uninformed as Frank Spooner pointed out last week. The AIA thus represent a neo-fascist movement, which gratifyingly has gained very little support on campus. But thkir leaders work very hard at conveying the’ir ne,wspeak gospel anyhow. No effort seems too great for them when there is an opportunity to jump in, cause havoc and disorder and put student organizations in disarray. Docherty, formerly when he was Production manager, and now as Editor, has been a shining example to the AIA rank and file. Let’s examine a few of the highlights of Dot herty ’ s career. He first came to campus some time in 1974. That was the year of the Renison affair, where Marsha and Jeff Forest, two avowedly Marxist professors, were dismissed b; Renison college. Naturally there seemed to be political overtones to the firings and political reasons are not popular when it comes to dismissing profs. , Sucdenly, Docherty, who has never been a student at UW, was there covering the problem for the chevron, as a volunteer. A group of concerned Renison students formed the ACA (Anti-Capitalist Alliance) and chanted “Investigate-Reinstate”. The organization, with the help of the Forests, Docherty and other so-called communists, quickly moved from a social protest movement to a rabid ‘Vanguard Revolutionary’ movement affiliated with the Communist Party of Canada, -Marxist-Leninist (CPC-ML). Many of the students who had joined up with ACA,out of a desire to facilitate social ‘change and protest whBt they felt to be the unfair dismissal of the Forests, quickly became disenchanted with the ACA’s offspring, the CPC-M-L affiliated AIA (Anti-

Students, which had initially given the group support, became disillusioned with their tactics too and disavowed association with them. The chevron which had also lent a good deal of moral and material support became disenchanted too. The AIA became widely discredited in public and became quiet for a time, launching a quiet campaign to take over the chevron as well as holding a series of utterly laughable ‘fora’ on campus dealing with various elements of what they labelled the ‘fascist, racist, capitalistic and imperialistic crimes of the monopoly capitalistic Canadian State’. As one might expe”ct, the response of the masses to their ‘Vanguard’ leadership was less than overwhelming. But as 1975 waxed on and 1976 rolled around Mr. Docherty was having good luck in the chevron. By September of 1976 Docherty’ had achieved the position of Production Manager in the chevron and was on the Federation’s payroll. On Sept. 24 his campaign against his editor, Adrian Rodway had been successful. Poor Rodway had no patience for Docherty’s ideological chestthymping and insufficient tolerance for the constant nit-picking and open insubordination to which he was subjected. That was the week the chevron was closed down by Student’s Council. The Federation had finally become fed up with the actions of this man who was on our payroll and the paper where his influence was becoming all-pervasive. The old “InvestigateReinstate” slogan from the Renison affair was dusted off, reversed and became the Reinstate-Investigate slogan of the chevron affair. I was a member of Council at that time and I held the Executive portfolio of OFS (Ontario Federation of Students) Liaison Officer. During the week of the closing I initiated a major diplomatic effort to head off the impending crisis. I went to OFS asking them to intervene and I went to CUP (Canadian University Press), the national student newspaper organization, to ask for a formal CUP Commission of Inquiry. I came back to Waterloo and presented Docherty, in the presence of Doug Wahlsten (Psych. Prof. and AIA ‘spokesperson’) and Larry Hannant (another AIA member and chevron staffer, with the results of my efforts - that the CUP Commission should be held and that both the Feds and the chevron should accept its findings as final and binding, and that neither the Feds nor the chevron would engage in any hostilities against each other until this was done. We had there the chance for a mediated settlement before the explosion ever occured. Docherty’s reaction was a flat “No”. He said “We have our principles and we believe them. We will not compromise’ ’ . In his opinion, I was asking him to compromise a tremendous opportunity to launch an offensive against the Federation. His AIA principles would not let him do that. At that time my principles would not allow me to give in to AIA blackmail. A few days later the AIA released a statement on the chevron question claiming that they felt the “present situation of disorder on campus is excellent”. The following months witnessed the most incredible defeat of popular will I have eve1 seen in a democracy. In spite of a referendum refusing the chevron’s demand for reinstatement and back pay by a vote of 224 to 2286, on June 26 the chevron got just that. The AIA (chevron?) had successfully confused the issue so well that the Federation could hold out no longer. Docherty, who had displayed a prominent role throughout the chevron affair, was nominated by chevron staff for the position of Editor and ratified by a demoralised and confused council. But Docherty still cannot compromise his principles. Recently he brought forth a motion in a chevron staff meeting to censor a letter which was uncomplimentary to the AIA. This is our editor now, the man we’re paying to produce a good paper asking his staff to support censorship? This is the same man who claims to support freedom of the press. Well that’s just more newspeak.

fermance for some time this isn’t really-too surprising. One of the staff members of the Free Chevron, during the time of the closing wrote a letter to the Real Chevron, a paper published by the Federation which was not complimentary -to the AIA. Docherty’s response? He choked the man unconscious and threatened to do so again. I’m running out of space so 1’11have to end this little capsule h&tory right now. But don’t worry it will continue. A brief aside: numerous people have been commenting to me about my letters to the chevron this term, asking why I have been spending so much time fussing with the AIA and sucgesting that it wasn’t worth the bother. The reason is this: although the AIA strikes most people as patently absurd, there are some who are tempted to take them half seriously. The problems experienced by the ch’evron and the Federation during the last year on this campus are largely the result of democratically minded people ignoring a group whose aim is to destroy democracy. This-price of liberty ,is constant vigilance. These people must be seen for what they are. Only ihen their deceit is exposed and their bankrupt policies brought out in the open is their threat eliminated. The AIA loves it when those ‘who see through them ignore them and rkmain quiet. Then-they prey on the more gullible among us, step into uncontested positions in the Federation and wreak havoc with organized student activity. Do not confuse my criticisms as an attack on the chevron. I have no complaint with the chevron except for Comrade Docherty, their editor, and contributing reporters Doug Wahlsten, Salah Bachir and Jules Gradjower. Although Grad student Gradjower -denies being ai A’IA member he behaves as if he were.-As for the other three, all nonstudents, they seem proud to associate themselves with the lonney fringe. I guess they somehow delight in persecution and being laughed at. See ya next week. Doug Thompson Past president, Federation of Students

Thompson a good laugh * Just when things here at Western get really boring, a copy of the chevron lands in my mailbox (thanks, Sylvia) and cheers me up for at least ‘four hours. Today’s real delight was Doug Thompson’s letter in the October 28 chevron - I mean, everybody need3 a good laugh at least once a week, right? “Thompson contends in his letter that the AI-4 and the chevron are “essentially the same thing”, and “proves” this by pointing out that four of the present chevron staffers are members of AIA, and that other staffers “behave as if they were”. Following that astounding fiece of logic, this man who ac’cuses others of lies and personal attacks proceeds to personally attack Neil Docherty. Both Neil and the AIA can defend themselves quite ably, so I won’t bother, but I think it is interesting and revealing to point out that Thompson uses here the very tactics he is criticising in others. Finally, Thompson advises all of us that we can “stop” Neil Docherty (and presumably AIA) by not letting them “get our goat”. We must remember that we are “civilized human beings”, and that “emotional confrontation” is an “absurd extreme”. I remember a time (January 16, 1977 at 9:30 pm) when, as a result of Heather Robertson calling for quorum at a Council meeting, the civilized and rational Mr. Thompson jumped up and screamed at her, “You little bitch!“. He directed the same comment at me approximately half an hour later. I cite this example of Thompson’s “civilized” nature in order to show anyone who might be inclined to believe him just how hard it is to accept his sincerity and rationality. The points that Thompson tries to make in his letter are really criticisms of himself - all the things of which he accuses the AIA and Neil Docherty are things of

he himself is guilty. There were other funny things in this particular issue - Mark’s graphics, Larry Smylie’s latest crusade (funny he could hear Salichuk so clearly; he once told me he was partially deaf) - and, of course, it’s great to hear that refundable fees were passed. I discovered -as well in past chevrons that the Feds have blown a bundle on making a selfpromotion film (does it have’s lead-in saying that it will disappear if refundable fees go through?) Nice to know, too, that John Long’s still on campus - the only guys I can remember who were around longer were Telegdi and good old Shane what’s-hisname. I hope things turn out as well for Long. Anyway, to all the chevrics: keep up the good work, wish you were here. Good luck with the cutbacks, and thanks for the wage and price controls article. Buena suerte! Donna Rogers

knowingly vote against what they know we want because they are afraid of the newspaper. In January of ‘76 we elected Shane Roberts as Fed. Pres. By December we had recalled him because we didn’t like him. In January of ‘77 we voted against chevron reinstatement on a “binding” referendum because we didn’t like the chevron either. That vote, by the way, was 2286 to 224 against the chevron’s demands. In February we elected a president and council who said theyz did not support the chevron’s position, but were looking for a compromise. By June of ‘77 the council and president had capitulated and violated the referendum, the stated opinion of UW students, and gave the chevron almost everything it wanted. Why? Acclaimations. ‘By June so many chevron supporters had found their way onto council because there was no one to run against them that the people we had elected could no longer govern. What sort of a sham is this? It is apathy. If we have a rotten student newspaper it is because we (collectively) didn’t care enough to see to it that it was handled well. If we have a rotten Federation it is because we didn’t ee to it that good s /people were elected. We alldwed the chevron to get their people acclaimed. I’d have no complaint at all if the student body voted to support the chevron position. But the student body voted the other way all the time (with two minor exceptions). When the will of the people is thus violated we can be assured that Democracy is dead. The federation IS dead. The funeral will take place soon. Shelah Wilson

disturbing

In reference to the letter, of the 4th November, entitled “VI incidents unfortunate.” Sir, It was disturbing, to say the least, to read your article in the 4th of November issue of the chevron. This disturbance is not due to the incidents in VI, but to the short comings of your article. I have expounded these short comings, objectively as I could, below. The fir-t point I should like to raise is that of the ideals. You speak of fighting for ideals, yet you have missed one of the most important ideals, the law (not law’s but the law). In sentencing Richard Helms the Judge said “There are those in the intelligence community . . . who feel they have a license to operate outside of the law, . . . but from this day forward, let there be no doubt, no one is above the law.” By interchanging university for intelligence the Statement would seem to portray your attitude towards the law, that is to say, that you feel you are, or should be, outside of the law. That is utter rubbish. You made such a fuss about ideals, The debate was hot.

egocentrics

doesn’t agree with ‘Pro-Life’s’ view, is therefore by implication “pro-death”. Likewise, rather than use the term “prochoice” which is how the people I have met regard themselves, you choose to call people with a different view than your own “proabortionists”. Your purpose of attempting to persuade undecided people through the use of names is quite easily seen through. Your advertising people could do quite well in the business world where this is a common occurence. As a bonus you probably get quite an emotional kick of self-righteousness by calling yourself “Pro-life”. Next, you go on to imply (not state openly mind you!) that I am a part of “a noisy minority” dedicated to “misleading and manipulating the public with. . . falsehoods and misconceptions”. An exciting and inflammatory claim if there ever was one - but I know of no such organization (excepting maybe James Bond’s adversary SMERSH). If you have any facts to verify this, please let me know as I would be astounded. After this you continue on and claim that human life begins at the moment of conception. You make no explanation or justification of this claim which is in fact very highly/ disputed. The current laws however do not recognise any form of human life when a therapeutic abortion is being performed. As I stated before (and as you seemed to ignore) the current laws give provision for persons to have an abortion when it is dangerous to their health. The medical profession, the general population and even you yourself (see paragraphs below) agree that “social and psychological changes” can occur when a person is pregnant, which can affect the physical wellbeing of the individual. If a woman therefore goes to a doctor of her own choice, convinces him/her that her health is endangered, and then has her doctor take her case before a committee of doctors for their approval of the validity of the claim for a therapeutic abortion, then that woman is not a murderer as you continually claim (but never substantiate). To say that she is, is a total denial of “facts” and is a completely subjective opinion. To continually harp on the matter without investigating the discrepancies, loopholes, contradictions, anomalies, etc. in your own rhetoric, is to me, a sign of rampant fanaticism and a denial of reality. It seems similar to the situation where a child holds her breath till she turns blue because she can’t get her own way. A sort of “don’t confuse me with the facts, I’ve already made up my mind” way of looking at things. Furthermore, your use of the term ‘$unborn child” is emotional claptrap since only foetus’ are aborted; however this is just another example of your arguing subjective assertions as fact. Perhaps I am too ridiculing in my arguments, but I am tired of being called a murderer, a deceiver, a manipulator, etc., by persons who I believe and argue, are essentially misdirected and contradictory - and therefore the cause of the confusion and v misunderstanding. My own beliefs in early fall 1974 were also that abortion was murder and I wrote an article for the chevron stating this. Subsequently however, I was challenged on these assertions and once shown where the source of many of the “Pro-Life” facts were (ie the one-sided Wilke’s), and then encouraged to view all of the sides of the issue, I altered my opinion to align with reality - and the consequent needs, pressures and rights which exist in this society. Subsequently I wrote another article explaining what erroneous information had been given to me by the “Birth Right” lecturer Mr. Bezner (a W.L.U. professor). I was then threatened with a lawsuit by Mr. Bezner but he, however, realized his folly and dropped the matter quickly. I have also talked to D. .De Marco (St. Jerome’s professor) on a phone line during a television show on abortion. I challenged him on the issue of the contradiction of the “Birth Right” policy regarding ectopic pregnancies. After much harumphing, and lots of talk about other matters, t,he good professor had nothing to say. He was at a loss to explain these inconsistencies. You, it seems,

Open a student newspaper in ‘Canada and you are likely to,find news of yet anothe zutback; news of a fee hike somewhere; news of a residence rent increase; ,news of service being sliced;- and more recently you .are- likely to find a cry from some universit! administrator that standards must be raised. These are the responses from universities to the government cutbacks in education n spending. Students and their organisations, -however, should take note, because unles S something is done to change the situation they are sitting ducks to be knocked off as thee government attempts to change the face of education in Canada. The government, in charge of an economy in crisis - an economy which can’ t provide enough’jobs for workers or, of special interest to students, enough jobs fo r educated youth - wants students to pay more for their education. Chevron investiga!ion to date has’shown that this campaign has beengoing on sine 1971. It has been characterized at UW by adecline in the real value of government fundin< as expressed in the Basic Income Unit and by a steadily increasing student-teacher ratio While a freeze on new construction has led to such an acute shortage of space that in soml .Z classes students must sit in the aisles. .The government campaign is continuing. The chairman of the Ontario Council 01 n University Affairs, a government advisory body, recently qnounced to university presi idents “It is likely that all publicly supported programs face three years of financing belo\ N the level we have come to expect.” Meanwhile all the details so far released about the revamped Ontario Student Ai d \ Plan suggest that it will be more restrictive. \ New tactic I However, all this has been going on since at least 1971, but now a new stage of th e cutback campaign is coming to light. The government and the university administrator ‘S are shifting into a new gear aim-ed at cutting enrolment and increasing the achievemer rt criteria demand of students. For the first time in ten years the funding policy for Ontario universities has bee n changed so that they- will not receive full government grants for increased undergraduat enrolment. Under the new scheme each university is given a ceiling for its enrolment anI can actually receive more‘inoney per student if enrolment is beneath the ceiling. &response the universities are talking about raising standards. UW’s Long-Rang ;e Planning Committee received a report two weeks ago which suggested one way of dealin g with the universities’ problems would be to “raise standards rather than increase stt ldent numbers so that University of Waterloo becomes a place where the best studenl ts wish ‘to go, to univer’sity .” Much the same is being said at Queens. The Queen’s Journal last week reported th; it , addresssai d the principal of the university, R.L. Watts, in his ‘State of the University” that in order for Queen’s to maintain its enrolment and high level of quality it will have t 0 ‘iapply more vigour in relations with prospective students through high schools”. The Queen’s Journal aIso reported recently that for every one student -admitted t 0 first year at Queen’s five others were turned away. _ University of Toronto is also talking about raising the standards of its gradual ;e school in an effort to get more government funding. The number of Ontario Gradual :e Scholars hips - awarded on merit and not on financial need - has been more than hralve :d as enrolment has climbed. The result is that more students apply for fewer grants and thle increased competition means that, though it is nowhere stated as policy, the criteria fc)r getting a scholarship has been raised. The cutbacks and the resultant cry for increased standards are drastically alterin ‘g education in Canada. S+udents who are capable of getting a degree and benefitting fror n an education will be cut off, students who can’t afford to’ participate in Canada’s cu tback universities will be cut off; and everyone will face increasing competition in the ir efforts to get a degree. For the government it means a morekfficient education system. Students accepte :d to universities will be the most capable and will require the least assistance in the ir studies. While those capable of a degree but who may require a little more assistance i n terms of faculty time etc, will be excluded. . But what do these administrators mean when they say they are interested in increa$ iing standards? Well what is, clear is these pious breastbeaters are not talking about in lcreasing the quality of the education, for if they were they would be fighting for mor , e money for the libraries, and for the hiring of more faculty etc. Instead they are scurrying around trying to find ways to accommodate the educatio n cutbacks which each year dig a deeper gouge into the quality of education.What these administrators mean with their virtuous statements on standards is th; “even though conditions for students are worse we are going to expect more by \T-aisin our-criteria for passing.” Graduates have faced this situation for seven years. The number of Ontarif 0 Graduate Scholarships - awarded on merit and not on financial need - has bee n more than halves as enrolment has climbed. The result is that more students apply fo r fewer grants and the increased competition means that, though it is nowhere stated a.S policy, the criteria for getting a scholarship has beenraised.

Proficiency exams are also part of this campaign. Student in Arts who last year coul .d graduate with a degree in Philosophy, Political Science or whatever if they achieved _-tt--ke requisite grades now, if the proficiency program takes root, expected to also show Ken Ledbetter that they can write “decent” English. Despite the chevron showing that the pilot program last year was a fraud; that the exam “standards” are a sad joke, that the very premise on which the program is based has been exposed - i.e. that students no longer write as well as they used to -the university is still-trying to plough ahead with the program, and offers no response to its critics. The cutbacks and the resultant cry for increased standards are drastically altering education in Canada. Students who are capable of getting a degree and benefitting from an education willbe cut off; students who can’t afford to participate in Canada’s cut-back universities will be-cut off; and everyone will face increasing competition in their efforts to get a degree.

The championship game was played between Tillsonburg Glen Dale and Niagara Falls Collegiate Institute. Glen Dale won the game easily with a final score of 47-3 1. Just prior to this Preston and Glen Dale played an exciting game as seen by the close score 35-32. This was the closest game of all played during the tournament, The consolatiQn round was won 41-36 by Galt over Westminster. There was evidence of a few good players on the teams that were here. Sue Burton was a high scorer for Glen Dale with 42 points in three games. From Galt, Diane - Cussier scored 41 points over all. Saturday, the Athenas played their first home exhibition game against the London Lords. UW outplayed London to beat them 69-40, just short of the 70 point goal the team has set for themseIGes. High scorers for the game were Sue Lindley with 16 points and Bonnie Zagrodney with 8. Everybody had time on the floor and all players scored except one. The Athenas played a good transition game, changing quickly from defense to offense, On the fast break,. the!e was always a player down the court, ready to score two points. They were able to break the ha&court press by using their established plays. Sally Kemp feels they are bepinning to see some of the potential on the team, especially in tough situations. The players are able to recognize these situations, take advantage of what they’ve leained, and come up with two points. Sue Lindley will obviously dominate the offense. She likes to play and has the ability to play team
