University of Waterloo Waterloo, Ontario volume 78, number 24 november 78, 7977

All new and replacement faculty and staff appointmenti are frozen. It is impossible for the university to keep up with inflation UW President Burt Matthews said in a special general meeting Tuesday and a Wednesday morning press conference. The freeze applies to “all new and replacement appointments from outside the University that will carry into, or begin in, the 1978-79 fiscal year or later until there has been time for all departments and faculties to review their faculty and staff positions in relation to the more severe financial restrictions that we now face.” Matthews hopes thisreview can be completed in about a nionth or six weeks so that some of the positions can be “unfrozen”. When asked in his Wednesday morning press conference whether some positions might be eliminated he would say only that some might be left vacant. &-Ie said that normally about 45 positions become vacant each year in the faculty and about 30 in the staff, not including ancillary enterprises like, Food Services. He said the freeze would not affect the hiring of Teaching Assistants for next term but tha.t the number of assistants required in each department would come under review along with all the other positions. Matthews blamed the university’s situation on government policy. He said the federal government had withdrawn from all direct interest in education by rescinding the Fiscal Arrangements Act, which guaranteed substantial funding to universities via the provinces, and had instead instituted a program of tax transfers

to the provinces. The tax transfer, he said, goes to fund health insurance, hospitals and education; the distribution is up to the provinces. Matthews also noted the Ontario government’s aim to achieve a balanced budget by 1981. In order to’ do this, the Treasurer of Ontario has calculated, provincial spending cannot be allowed to increase by more than 6.3 per cent in 1978-79 and 1979-80 and 6 per cent in 1980-S 1. However, the Treasurer also divided the government’s expenditures into “controllable” and “uncontrollable” categories. Most of the “uncontrollable” expenditure is interest payments on the province’s debt. Thus, for the next three years the controllable expenditures, including education, cannot be permitted to rise more than 5.8 per cent a year. He agreed with the statement of Ontario Council on University Affairs chairman W.C. Winegard, that this was “the new reality”. He said that budgeting in the coming years “is going to tax the ingenuity of all of us and is certain to require us to trim our expectations”. He added the “new reality” was not really new; an unexpected shortfall in enrollment in 1971-72 forced a $3.8 million budget cut; an unexpectedly small grant increase in 1975-76 reduced the budget by three per cent and the,base budgets of all departments had to be decreased accordingly. Library hours and health services were reduced and some staff positions were left vacant. A freeze similar to the one Matthews announced Tuesday was imposed in late 1975 and early 1976. . Matthews said he considered the 1975 actions wise and said “we

Architecture-At a geheral meeting of architecture students ‘last Thursday, plans were proposed for the separation of Architecture students from the EnSociety vironmental Studies (E.S.S.) of which they have been a part for the last seven years. Presently, the E.S.S. is composed of two representatives from each of the four departments in the

must continue to act firmly and wisely under constraints even more severe than those of the recent past.” ’ He said the “new reality” would last for at least three years. Matthews estimated an increase in the Basic Income 1Jnit (BIU) of 5.2 per cent for 1978-79. (The BIU is the grant formula by which the provincial government funds universities .) A first-year Arts student is worth one BIU (about $2400). Values vary for students in different faculties and years.

faculty. The representatives are responsible for informing their departments of E.S.S. events and services and for voicing student concerns. Eight elected executives run the society, which combines the geography, planning, and architecture students into one social and economic entity. Over one-third of the architec-

The South Campus Hall pubs have been reinstated due to problems that were anticipated in trying to cancel the music bookings. The groups Cueball and Choir, appearing today and next Friday respectively at the South Campus Hall, had already been booked when the federation executive decided October 31 to cancel the pubs. At that time, three campus centre coffee houses were cancelled, but that decision was reversed last week. At the federation council meeting last Thursday, November 10, entertainment co-ordinator Jim Todd said that to cancel the bookings would result in a loss of “all of-our contacts and all the trust we’ve built up with Music Shop (the booking agent).‘* The possibility that the federation will be unable to book bands in the future, because of a blacklist that could arise from cancelling CuebalI and Choir, led council to reinstate the pubs. The decisiola to cancel coffee housesand pubs was prompted by poor attendance, leading to large losses, at these events. The campus centre coffee houses were $1200 over subsidy at the time of the cancellation decision. The South Campus Hall pubs were remaining within their budget, but attendance had been diocouragingly low and losses were substantial.

ture students unanimously approved a perliminary potion that separation was a major issue and that it should be extensively looked into. After much debate, they voted unamimously that the matter be further discussed with E.S.S. president, Jane Osler to let her offer the E.S.S.‘s reasons for not separating. A meeting for this iill be held sometime next week. The move to separate comes because of increasing dissatisfaction on the part of the architecture students over how the student funds are distributed tind managed. “We don’t really get the representation we desire. We’re being taken for a ride and not allowed tb do any driving,” said one agitated spokesperson. The recently elected architecture student president) Valerio Gynnimeri stated, “A move like this has far-reaching political implications.” The proposed Architecture student society’s main interest will be in establishing a separate identity. But the economic considerations of the split are also a deciding factor. Most olthe architecture students interviewed feel that the precentage ofthe $%;i5 ES student society fee that they must pay is not being returned to the students with any substantial benefit.

He said the university projects a 5.9 per cent incr&se in income for 1978-79, some of it to come from student fees since enrollment is expetted to increase slightly over the next few years. Matthews said there were #rtain unavoidable increased co& such as increased energy rates, higherequipment and book prices and interest on the university’s deficit. When it was pointed out to him that a 5.9 per cent increase in income would be less than the current rate of inflation, which is about

brewing students, only $350 is returned as a ’ cash grant. The rest is retained by the E.S.S. for society events: events that most architecture students don’t participate in. “The services and events provided in E. S. S. can be of great benefit to the architecture students if they would only care to go.” says Osler, “but there is a total lack of communication..” Most of the architecture students interviewed

eight per cent, Matthews said “We won’t increase our expenditures to match inflation. There% just no way we can match that.” He said this would mean especially that salaries could not’ keep up with inflation and that the university would suffer reduced “buying power” in the purchasing of equipment. “We may have to do as Trudeau says, work harder.” Faculty and staff representatives could not be reached at press time. -jonathan

i never read the E.S.S. publication or participate in the society’s events. The reason for this may not be a case of apathy, but of proximity.

The “mass lobby” organised by the Ontario Federation of Students (OFS) which took place at Queen’s Park in Toronto last Thursday attracted 100 students and about 60 MPP’s and brought them together to discuss student aid, unemployment and differential fees for foreign students. OFS spokesperson Allan Golombek said the intent-of the lobby was to make contact with the backbenchers in the provincial legislature. who he felt were “closer to the constituencies” than members like Colleges and Universities Minister Harry Parrott’, and thus establish a negotiating position with the government. OFS fieldworker John Shortall said he considered the day a success because half the MPPs w&e contacted and NDP and Liberal members expressed complaints about Parrott’s latest proposals for changes in student aid. Plans are in the works for as yet unspecified OFS-organised on-campus action, and for a meeting with the provincial Cabinet. A delegation from Waterloo had its own experience with Parrott and on page 5 chevron staffer Dave Carter comments on the delegation’s confrontation with the minister.

xplbins entertainm The problems with campus entertainment are due to inexperience in the Board of Entertainment and space booking problems, the federation council heard last Thursday, November 10.

means the federation never learns from the mistakes. Recchia was emphatic that a properly paid and experienced coordinator would pay for his/her salary several times over in the money that the federation would save. An example of how experience could have saved the federation money is in Recchia’s explanation of why the Gentle Giant concert drew so few advance ticket sales that it had to be cancelled at a cost of $4500. Recchia exhlained that the entertainment co-ordinator at the University of Guelph wanted to book Gentle Giant, and suggested to the federation that they do the same. “The first thing he did to you,” .Recchia said of the Guelph COordinator, “is after you both booked the act -and the reason he was interested in seeing it happen (was) because it brings his price down - he runs out and grabs all your extraneous.markets. And he kept his word - he stayed out of Kitchener - but he boxed you.” Recchia said that the Guelph advertising was geared to “create the image on everybody’s mind in this city that the show was in Guelph, not here.” Recchia said the KW Record and its associated publication Probe “carried nice little write-ups about the show in Guelph . . . and blanketed you very nicely.” In addition, advertising in Galt and Cambridge was for the Guelph show only, and “the people downtown at Sam’s, until they were told o_therwise, thought that the only show was in Guelph.” Recchia concluded that the Guelph co-ordinator “had the experience that you didn’t have. He out-advertised you, he took your audience away, and there wasn’t enough audience there in the first place for two shows.” The entertainment co-ordinator

at Guelph is Wayne Hepburn. In a telephone interview with the chevron, Hepburn explained that he was “trying to arrange a smali college tour” of Gentle Giant when he approached the federation. Hepburn ,said he also approached McMaster University in Hamilton and the University of Western Ontario in London, but they couldn’t take part. He said that he would have preferred to exclude Waterloo so that Guelph tickets could be sold in KW. The Guelph concert drew 1800 people, and lost $2000. If the capacity of 2200 people had been reached, the concert would have

tion. I agree with that, but I do not agree with the large expenditure.” Coutts said that for the Math course evaluations, “ MathSoc does a good chunk of the administration all on their own. The only thing MathSoc comes to feds for is printing.” Ilnyiak replied to these criticisms by citing the amount of time requirqd to organize and administer a survey of the size proposed. He said that people have been working full-time on the project. However, Math councillors retorted that comparable amounts of work are obtained from volunteers for their course evaluations.

Joe Recchia, a local entertainment promoter who recently ended a ten-year association with th’e Board of Entertainment, told council that because the federation has no halls in which to run attractions to its own wishes, “everything you do is bent to the university’s wishes.” Recchia continued “You have no ab%lity to run an act the way you see fit to run it. You’re forced into dates, times and places which become available to you, period.” As an example of this, Recchia noted that South Campus Hall pubs are run on Friday nights, which entails a premium of about 30 per cent on the cost of the band. Recchia said that this premium costs the federation about $300 on each pub, and it’s being paid becalise “you (the feds) can’t seem to work it out with food services to get into the building before 7:30 pm on Thurs‘dav.” d

Recchia told council that another contributing factor to the federation’s problems is inexperience in the Board ,of Entertainment. He said that many otheruniversities have hired full-time entertainment co-ordinators at respectable salaries, so that the people will remain in their job for a’t least a few years. Recc hia explained that costly mistakes are made while a coordinator is learning to deal with the entertainment industry, and a high turnover of co-ordinators

Salichuk

is VP

Arts councillor Don Salichuk was appointed federation vicepresident by a council vote of 10-2-l. According to the bylaws, the duties of vice-president are to act as president or speaker in the absence of either, but in the past the vice-president’s duties have tinged from virtually none to a half-time paid position. The latter was the caSe when Ron Hipfner was vicepresident early this year. Salichuk told council that he does not wish to be paid for his position. Asked what his idea of the

vice-president’s duties is, Salichuk said he would co-ordinate office activities and assist relations between clubs and societies. Chief returning officer Chris Wheatley told council that a recount of ballots cast in the refundable fee referendum showed that refundable fees won 1851-1566, rather than 1933-1489 as originally reported. Wheatley also reported that a cross-check of the entire voting lists for both parts of the referendum showed that only 40 people voted twice, not enough to alter the results. -nick

Leonardo de Vinci’s imaginings seem very solid sitting in the Arts Library foyer after 450 years. The object in the immediate foreground is his design for a tank; also to be seen are windmills, gear works, a parachute, and a design for a camera/projector. This I.B.M.-sponsored exhibit continues here until Dec. 2.

Councillors also objected to-the fact that the results of the evaluation will be kept secret for at least a year. The Arts administration considers-the survey to be experimental; and does hot want to release the results for fear of incorrect interpretations due to possible flaws in the questionnaire. Graduate councillor Dave Carter was strongly supported by council when he said “A compromise of the sort where the ipformation is kept confidential for a year or more is a compromise I don’t think we should be willing to accept.” Carter said that under this condition it becomes “the administration’s surv_ey ’ ’ . Arts councillor Tim Little said that the questionnaire does not permit sufficient student input. Little said that all the questionnaire does is “point out minimal teaching - standards, in the yes-no, black and

white (manner) . . .and does not allow for students’ opinions. ” Little continued “There are good questionnaires in existence, in Arts . . .the Political Science department has a very good questionnaire which they are going ahead with anyway (and) which is run totally voluntarily. ” Th,e only support for Ilnyiak’s request for funds came from Renison councillor Larry Smylie. However Smylie spoke only to the need for course evaluation, and did not try to justify the budget. The tietion to fund the Arts evaluation was soundly defeated.

by ron reeder

Federation president Rick Smit was at pains to point out after the meeting that council’s refusal of funds does not represent nonsupport of the project. The project was started three years ago at the prompting of the federation, and Smit said that the federation will not be the cause of cancellation. Jack Gray, UW’s Dean of Arts, told the chevron that with a $1000 contribution from the federation, the project will proceed-as planned with the administration supplying the additional funds that were re-’ fused by council. -nick

. Students %-e volunteering their time to work for the federation, in response to president Rick Smit’s call for more student involvement. * Smit has posters up around campus asking students to-volunteer an hour per week for federation work. At a meeting Wednesday, Sinit told a group of 12 volunteers that in the past, students have been alienated from the federation. He wants to start with the federation office in solving this problem. Smit wants volunteers to work at a recention desk in the federation office during the lunch hour and e\ienings. when the office is normallv lG;ked and deserted. S&t lamented that the campus centre turnkeys are better known to students than the federation, and blames this partially on the re1

stricted access to the federation offices at present. He hopes to make the office more of a people-place. Federation fieldworker Cathy Huxtable spoke to the volunteers about the student profile she is administering. She explained that information about students’ location and activities in the community is being collated. One application of this study will be in persuading Kitchener Transit to extend its bus routes to Lakeshore and further along Westmount Rd. About 3000 returns frsm questionnaires sent out last summer are being coded for computer analysis. Huxtable recruited several volunteers to assist in the completion of the project. -nick

He finished the interview and then departed for another part of the lobby. However, while we were finished with him he was not finished with us. A few moments later he passed by our ,group again. I saw a little smile develop on his face as he turned and moved toward us. It was like he couldn’t resist it; he came-in for one last attack. “If you think I’m being harsh you should go out and ask a few taxpayers what they think of the cost of education,” he said. Then, while stating that he was going to show us what the new program was all about, he took my pad from my hands and proceeded to jot down a few figures. He said that under the old program the recipients of OSAP would have to pay $1000 for each year of a four-year program and that the same costs would be carried for those who took two years of graduate school. He put this all down in a column on the paper and then marked down a total of $6000 at the bottom. Since each applicam for OSAP must accept a $1000 student loan before any grant money is made available, this is a simplified but not wholly inaccurate representation of the costs carried by students who depend on student aid. However, when he proceeded to give the same kind of scheme for the new program, he leaped from a simple analysis to a total misrepresentation. He said that the first four years of post-secondary education would not entail any extra costs for the recipient of OSAP assistance. However, graduate students in need of assistance would have to rely wholly on student loans and “might; therefore, have to borrow up to $3000 per year for the two year period. He marked all these figures down in another column on the page and wrote down a total of $6000 as the cost to the student under the new program. . From this Parrott was able to conclude that there was no difference between the old and new programs. But where the hell does he get this confusing notion that students will not have to take out student loans in their first four years of university? He has announced that there will be all-grant assistance to students from poor families. However, he continued

Ne TORONTO (CUP) - Ontario Housing Minister John Rhodes has proposed a student summer work program in which the provincial government would spend $150,000 on salaries for students in 1978. Under the proposal, the province would pay 75 per cent of the salaries of students employed in downtown revitalization projects in Ontario municipalities. Rhodes said he did not know how many jobs the money would provide for

students, and added the number of jobs would depend on how many municipalities wanted to participate.

REGINA (CUP) - Students attending universities in Saskatchewan may face yearly tuition increases if a proposal by a government body is accepted. According to the proposal, tuition fees, which make up 11 per cent of revenues, would rise each year as university costs increase.

The Saskatchewan Universities Commission has yet to reply to about its plan for fees. -questions . Kegina student union president Jeff Parr is urging students to oppose the action now before “annual fee increases are firmly en-

The latest figures from the Foreign Investment Review Agency indicate a continuation in the trend of increased investment in Canadian businesses by foreign companies. In an annual.report for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1977, FIRA revealed that there were 398 applications submitted. Of these, 191 were to take over already existing firms, and 207 were to set up new businesses.

By the end of the year FIRA had made decisions regarding 352 of the applications. The agency approved 319 while rejecting only 33, for a total acceptance rate of 90.6 percent. The report also disclosed that over 54 percent of the applicants for takeovers were from the U.S., while the rest were West German companies. Americans also lead the way in applications to start new businesses.

Mr. Parrott: Last year, you announced in the Legislature (May 4th, 1976) the Ontario Government’s policy of massively increasing the tuition of Foreign students in Ontario universities and Colleges of Applied Arts and Technology (CAAT) which has since been implemented. This has led to a decrease of 32% of 1st year foreign student enrollment at uw. For foreign students beginning

an undergraduate programme at UW, the tuition fees will increase from approximately $678.00 for two semesters to $1571.00 for the same period. For graduate students the fees will increase from $264.00 to $664.83 per term! For those students beginning a programme in the College of Applied Arts’and Technology (CAAT), the fees have increased from $250.00 to $750.00 for two terms. , In your announcement of May

4th, you give two “circumstances” which you say prompted you to take these measures: 1) “Mounting public concern regarding the cost to the Ontario taxpayer of educating foreign students in our postsecondary institutions”, and 2) “this Government’s concern to restrain the growth of Government expenditures”. As to the first of these “circumsor reasons, that is the tances” “mounting public concern” for

“educating foreign students”: We have not seen any! Just the opposite, Mr. Parrott, we have seen mounting public concern in the universities against cutbacks, including your hostile reception by. 300 students and faculty at this university last year as well as your hostile reception in Universities and Colleges across Ont$Crio, these past months. We have also noted the mounting public concern regarding the closing of various On-

tario hospitals and the hostile reception, by the communities concerned, against cutbacks in social services. We would further like to note the mounting public concern of various student and non-student organizations and individuals concerning your present attack.on foreign students.

dents from abroad on temporary student visas, are forced to bring with them into Canada at least $3000 a year on top of their tuition fees. Further, except for a small number who are able to get work with their study programme (a few graduate students), the new antiimmigrant bill, Bill C-24 makes it next to impossible for foreign students to take part-time or summeljobs. Furthermore, foreign students are unable to get any governmental assistance from the Federal or provincial governments, with the notable exception of scholarships pro-

vided by the Canadian International Development Agency (C.I.D.A.). This organization is able to assist only about 4 percent of the foreign students in Canada, and a handful (at most 50) graduate students are also eligible for Ontario Grad,uate Scholarships. Our bxperience also shows that many students comelere by having their families bear a heavy financial burden, scrimping a-nd often borrowing from, friends and relatives. Add to this the high cost of living, which is steadily increasing. Furthermore, foreign students are not permitted to stay in Canada

once their studies are completed. With all these restrictions and hardships, you sir, have contributed yet another burden to the foreign students in Ontario by giving them a massive tuition increase. l Ydu view foreign students as a Taxburden to the “Ontario payers”, which “shotild be reduced” . While YOU make no attempt to substantiate your position, an editorial in the Globe arid Mai1 (April -30. 1976) which supports your position, attempts to do SO. It raises the point that in 1973-74 there were at least 10,840 foreign students on student visas in Ontario unrversities and that “the province pays an average of $2,940 a year for its university students”. The editorial further notes that this - means a cost of $32 million to the province for educating these students. The editorial did not mention, however, that whereas the provincial government spends $2940 per university student, the foreign student must bring in at least $3000 per year (not including tuition fees), which amounts to over $32~5 million coming into the Ontario economy. AS to the savings for the Ontario Government: The president of the Student Administrative Council (SAC) of the University of Toronto determined that the revenue generated by raising the tuition of foreign students would be less than 0.6 percent of the Ministry of Colleges and Universities’ budget (SAC: June 3, 1976) The recent announcement made’ by treasurer Darcy McKeough conshows your “government’s tern to ‘restrain’ growth of government expenditures”. These ‘restraint’ measures have eliminated 3000 jobs in the public sector since 1975, and it plans to eliminate a further “2300 man-Years of emPloyment” this coming year. Workers employed by local governments and school boards will also be laid off by the new “restraint” programme as municipal grants will rise

by only 4.8 percent in 1978 over 1977. This also means cutbacks in various social service programmes. The provincial government divides its spending between that “committed” and that which is which is “controlltible”. The chief “committed expenditure”, whit) the government says cannot be“restrained” is the interest payment on the public debt. In 1972-73 this payment amounted to $486) &illion, but in the current fiscal year it will be $1.042 billion and by 1980-81, it will be $1.33 billion. McKeough pointed out that “the main impact of expenditure restraints must necessarily be the controllable portion of expenditures.“ For the past eight years, the proportion of the provincial budget spent,on health remained virtually the same, while the payment of interest on debt money which goes mostly to big U.S. financiers, increased by 60 percent in 1977-78.

‘Immigmtion Act oppressive We international students in Canada express our shock and outrage at the anti-immigrant Bill C-24 forced through Parliament recently by the Trudeau government. This new Immigration Act is not only an attack on international students in Canada on student visas, but it also directly opposes the interests of the people of many nations of the world who are struggling against oppressive regimes and foreign domination of their homelands. Bill C-24 is clearly intended to terrorize non-citizens in Canada and force them to submit without any resistance to the dictates of the government. The main changes in the substance of immigration law implemented by Bill C-24 include: 1. “Domicile’ ’ status, which protected long-term permanent residents against de.portation under the old Immigration Act (Section 4)) is eliminated. 2. Grounds for deporting a permanent resident or a visitor, including an international student on a visa, are greatly expanded(Sections 19and27). 3. Penalties for violating the Immigration Act are greatly increased (Sections 95 to 98). 4. Provisions for deporting immigrants or visitors under the “ security :’ clauses are streamlined, to the extent that an accused person has no right to know the “evidence” against himself and no right to appeal a deportation order (Sections 39, 40, 83, 119). 5. Arbitrary powers of the government are increased, including powers to impose vague “terms” on immigrants and visa students (Section 14) and powers to rule by regulations without parliamentary approval of changes in policy (Section 115). 6. A system of internal passports is approved for noncitizens (Section 115( l)(z)). We find especially repugnant the threat to refuse admission to, or deport, any international student on a visa “who there are reasonable grounds to believe will, while in Canada, engage in or instigate the subversion by force of any government” (Section 19(l)(f)). Not only is this section incredibly vague and open to all sorts of abuse by racist immigration officials, but it is a vicious attack on the people of Asia, Africa and Latin America who are struggling to win independence and democracy by overthrowing the most

We international students will never be cowed down by these threats. We will resolutely support the just struggles of the people of Zimbabwe, Namibia, Azania, Chile, Palestine, Iran and many other countries. We believe that when the vast majority of the people of a nation are suppressed by violence and denied any liberties, then they have the right to use force to win their freedom. We will support any international student who is threatened with deportation by the Trudeau government because of his support for the just cause of an oppressed nation. Furthermore, we declare to the Trudeau government that when we’-international students complete our studies in Canada an’d return to our homelands, we will tell our countrymen about the stand which has been taken by the Canadian state. We will tell the freedom fighters and the parents whose sons and daughters have sacrificed their lives in the struggle for liberty that the government of Canada supports Ian Smith, Vorster, Pinochet, and the Shah of Iran. We will also tell them that the Canadian people do not support the government on this question. There is abundant support in Canada for the just cause of our people who are fighting for national liberation and democracy. We have made many close friends among the Canadian people during our years of. study, and we know that the Canadian people are not racist and do not support fascism. We are confident that if the Trudeau government dares to attack international students under Section 19(1)(f), we will not be

fighting this by ourselves. Already many progressive Canadians have denounced Bill C-24 and pledged to support international students if they are attacked. If the. government attempts to implement a system of internal passports under Section 11(l)(z), we will not cooperate. . Finally, we repeat the demand of international students in Canada that has been made many times - students here on visas should be allowed to work in order to pay for their education. The prohibition against employment for visa students, which is maintained by Bill C-24, imposes great hardships on many of our families and is making it impossible for all but the richest students to come to Canada because of the tremendous increases in tuition imposed on us by several of the provinces. We international students in Canada will never accept Bill C-24. We refuse to be intimidated by these kinds of threats. If the Trudeau government attempts to enforce the provisions of the new Immigration Act which we have mentioned above, we are certain that it will find itself increasingly isolated not only in Canada but around the world as well.

Featuie the Quebec government refused to get involved immediately in the nuclear option and it decided to impose a moratorium until 1980 on this option.” Mr. Joron also said Prime Minister Trudeau recently confirmed the Quebec government that poor sales prospects for Canadian Candu nuc-

lear reactors have jeopardized ’ completion of the 1.5 billion dollar heavy water plant at Becancour, Quebec. The plant is being built by AECL and is less than twenty per cent complete. Quebec’s decision to stay away from nuclear development means gloomier prospects for the use of heavy water.

Nuclear Moratorium imposed by Quebec According to a recent Canadian Press report the Quebec government has decided to impose a three year moratorium on further nuclear power development. Energy Minister Guy Joron was quoted as saying, “In its discussion on energy policy,

Energy and economics are increasingly- _ becoming the most important facet of any nation’s future. The recent news from Ontario Hydro that they are continuing their nuclear development with a new plant at Darlington, east of Oshawa, is thus quite important in how it will affect all of Ontario’s citizens in the future. Ontario Hydro has embarked upon one of the most ambitious nuclear electrification programs of any utility in the free world. Presently the second nuclear station at Douglas Point (near Kincardine, Ontario occupying a former provincial park) is approaching completion. This station will add 3000 Megawatthours (MWhrs) to Hydro’s capacity. As this station approaches completion a new plant, slightly bigger than Douglas Point “B”, is being excavated on the site of another provincial park. This new installation will undoubtably benefit from the experience gained at these previous stations and hopefully will be plagued by none of their problems. Ontario Hydro’s justification for this amazing nuclear construction program is their figures which purport to show that nuclear electricity is cheaper than that generated by other means. I intend to show the limited economic scope of their analysis and its inherent disadvanatages to the population of Ontario and Canada as a whole.

In this analysis OH’s bureaucrats compare the performance of a successful nuclear station with a conventionally fired fossil fuel plant. In the costs associated with the operation of the Pickering reactor there is no mention of the cost of permanent storage of the nuclear wastes evolved in the plant’s normal operation. At Pickering large concrete “swimming pools” have been built which store the fuel of the reactor under water after it has been “burned” in the atomic fire. These end-products are known as high level wastes since they are extremely radioactive and will remain so for several millions of years. The pools at Pickering or at any of Hydro’s nuclear generating stations can only contain a finite amount of these wastes and in Pickering’s case this is 43 years worth of normal operation. After this time the fuel will have to be permanently disposed of, as the Atomic Energy Board of Canada sees,fit. The cost of such operations is not included in the previous economic survey because it has been ignored by Ontario Hydro. This cost will be borne directly by the federal government, in all likelihood, and it should be listed as a cost in the cost comparison above. Thus OH has understated the true cost of nuclear generated electricity by ignoring large future expenditures. Secondly, OH compares the Pickering plant with a coal-fired station. The Lambton Generating Station is not operated continuously as the nuclear plants are but only supplies electrical demand when the nuclear stations are not sufficient. (Because of the cyclical nature of the present demand for electricity peak periods of consumption occur twice daily around breakfast and then in the evening). Thus the Lambton Station is turned on and off throughout the day and this form of operation adversely affects its economy. Thus the steadilyloaded nuclear station is compared against a plant which must suffer the inevitable inefficiencies associated with turning a device on and off quickly. Another reason, besides the supposed cost differential cited above for OH’s nuclear plans, is the fact that Ontaio has vast amounts of nuclear deposits and the consumption of these fuels can be met by domestic supply. The uranium cartel set up by the federal government has, however, forced our public utility to pay world-scale prices for this commodity. The uranium industry in Ontario began during WWII, but even in this short amount of time many problems have been encountered, The uranium ore processing facility at Port Hope has affected the local

environment to such a great deal that many houses in the town are now unfit for human habitation because of the high radiation levels. Elliot Lake, the site of a large uranium mine, has many citizens, former employees, who now are’ suffering the ravages of industrially caused disease. The benefit of domestic uranium production must be severely weighed against these documented social costs. If Ontario Hydro was truly concerned with obtaining domestic supply for its fuel requirements it could begin to buy more coal in Canada rather than in the USA. Ontario has vast amounts of coal in her northern frontiers which have been known for the past 300 years. Also, the Maritimes have equally enormous reserves of this fossil fuel and would welcome the opportunity for jobs in these industries. OH plans to buy Alberta coal in increasing amounts in the future to meet her demand, although the delivered cost of coal from either the Maritimes or Northern Ontario would be cheaper simply because of the shorter distances involved. Thus it seems that OH is telling half truths in its attempts to justify the expenditure of capital on nuclear plant construction. A nuclear power station like Darlington is forecast to cost about four billion dollars before it begins to generate any electricity. OH’s plans call for the expenditure of close to $40 billion by the turn of the century to finance continued construction. This capital is borrowed upon the American money markets and costs us dearly. As shown in the chart, 60% of the cost of nuclear electricity is in servicing these debts to foreign investors. The costs of such borrowing has resulted in the increasing electric- ’ ity prices of the past four years and it is not projected to cost less in the future. The nuclear electrification program of Ontario Hydro commits us all as residents of Ontario to an ever increasing public debt which is financed from our electrical costs. Also, the uranium industry has been extremely sloppy in the past and the costs associated with these blunders will eventually reach our pockets. Finally, it seems evident that OH’s economic justification for a nuclear history in Ontarioignores significant costs in the generationof nuclear power while comparing them with fossil-fired plants operating at a significant disadvantage. The end result of these plans are nuclear stations located along the Great Lakes shoreline of Ontario. These plants have been poorly designed in the past, and only now are &ontinded on page 13

Thus it is clear that from even OH’s officials there is a problem with maintaining existing nuclear generat$g stations. OH’s plans call for many more of these plants to be built by the turn of the century, committing us to a future which is inseparable from the extremely hazardous physics df atomic power. This is in the face of conventional plants which can utilize domestics respurces and recycle the money we spend on electridlty within our country rather than sending it to foreign investment agencies. Unless this bankrupt policy of OH is vigorously opposed now we will bti saddled tiith both high power rates and unsafe nuclear stations.

Nuclear Power’ continued from page 12 the problems -associated with the existing stations being remedied for the future installations. The Douglas Point “A” station was commissioned in the late 1960’s and supplies about 200MWhr to the Ontario power distribution grid. i The problem with this station is described in a recent Atomic Energy of Canada Limited report. “One design criterion for the Douglas Point Nuclear Generating Station was to minimize heavy water holdup in the reactor systerns, mainly because heavy water is costly. As a direct result, valves were generally installed in cramped and congested locations, see Figure 1. This greatly limits the accessibility of valves which in turn significantly complicates maitite-

Also because of the equipment congestion, insufflcient space is available to install temporary radiation shielding to reduce local radiation fields . . . The large number of tools sometimes required to perform a maintenance task can be a problem in a radiation environment. For instance, all tools have to be carried manually in and out of the work location inside the reactor containment; sometimes ~temporary &rage near the work is limited. Figure 2 is a photograph of tools used to repack and re-gasket a large isolation valve during the early operating days at DPNGS.

not been thoroughly considered during design of either the valve or the station.” Recent technological advances in the control of radiation within the reactor itself have considerably lowered the fields within the ancillary equipment of the plant. Pickering nuclear station however suffers from much the same problems as in Douglas Point but for different reasons. At Pickering much unneeded equipment clutters the area reserved for important machine@ and thus interferes with the maintenance of the equipment as a whole. To quote O&ario Hydro’s own analysis of the situation at Pickering, supposedly the model of all Candu plants, we can go to r.b. taylor, of design and development for OH, “The economic worth of occupational radiation dose in currently operating station is not yet clear. . . However it is clear that if, for example, Pickering “A” and “B” are to be operated and routinely maintained with their maturity staffs, then the dose levels on “A” bust be reduced and the dose levels at B must be significantly lower than on A”.

In women’s varsity basketball Wednesday night, Waterloo managed a victory over the York Raiders from Toronto in an exhibition match. A somewhat scrambly game, the players seemed disoriented and committed a lot of turnovers. During the first. half, the team was running the back door effectively. Somehow the offense as a whole didn’t quite click. Unfortunately they ran it at half speed and their shooting percentage from the floor and from the foul line was not as high as usual. Although the Athenas dominated the game, the Raiders often took control of the ball leaving Waterloo confused. The Raiders tried to hold off the Waterloo offense with a full court zone press after a violation in the back court. UW had no trouble with this, being in position and passing off before the defense could, trap them. They ran the fast break after a foul shot, making some beautiful passes to under the boards, but just weren’t able to put the ball in the hoop. Defensively, it took the Athenas a little too long to close down the key in the first half. This made a big difference in the final score. The open key allowed Jane Geris of the Raiders to make all those easy inside shots. Waterloo did keep Toronto down toless than fifty points whichwas one of their game objectives. Score at half time was 25-20 for Waterloo. The second half of the game was a little better in terms of scoring, but the Athenas didn’t manage to get close to their 70 point goal. They won with a final score of only 59-50. Rebounding, the Athenas were looking to block out and keep.their checks off the boards. Defensively, they didn’t seem to get a high percentage of the reounds. Jan McMullan had a great game, espec’ially in the first half. She was high scorer with 11 points, making those turn-around lay-ups from underneath the basket. Lucy Patterson, with 9 points, was breaking for the basket to be in close for her shots. She unfortunately ran into foul trouble near the end of the game. Lou Taylor, guard, does the best job in stabilizing the team on the court. She takes her time, patiently waiting to set up and run the plays. The offense was much less disorganized under her leadership. Now a starter, Shelley Fillion is not as yet a scorer. She is a thinking player, anticipating the offense and playing great defense. She’s not afraid of anything. The Athena starting line-up has three rookies from Ancaster Sue, Shelley and Jan McMullan. They are still somewhat nervous at the start of a game, but warm up quickly. Now that the Athenas are into their league games, there’s not much time to experiment with plays. ‘They have to be ready to go with what they’ve got and make it work. This weekend, Waterloo will travel to Queen’s U for their first game of their regular season. Their first home games of regular season will be on Saturday and Sunday, December 3rd and 4th.

m mixed The Grand Illusion styx (A & M) You have to wonder a little about a record company that sends, along with a recor’d, 40 pages of photocopied good reviews the band got with this new album in daily newspapers, including an article by one Jim Millican reprinted 38 times as it appeared in those same papers across the country. I guess you’re supposed to conclude that Styx is popular all across the country (as opposed to believing that 38 entertainment editors needed some space to fill and really didn’t care what went into it). Along with that, the album itself has a poster in it which measures four square feet. Perhaps you’re not supposed to even listen to the record. There is, in fact, a record in there somewhere, and it does have some music on it: If you ignore most of )the lyrics on this thing, it comes off as a fairly tight, interesting and varied rock album. There’s an abundance of good hooks and riffs, although they don’t have that surging power of previous songs like “Suite Madam Blue” or “Light Up”. The writing chores are pretty evenly distributed among the band members, a good indication of strength. There are but a- couple complaints in the music department: at times it seems like some of the initrumental parts, particularly with keyboards, are just there to fill space, or at best they’re just noddlihg around.

Billing the show as a “country opera” may have scared off a lot of people; while some folks consider opera to be refrigerated music ascanned sentiment. Most people abhor both, preferring instead to listen to AM muzak. But there isn’t any paradox in the term “country opera”. Cruel Tears took out the twang, added wry comment on our consumer lifestyle, and blended a cotiple of hours of country music with an intense drama plugging the down home themes of love, pain, jealousy, and deceit. The_ productipn was superb and the several hundred people who managedso catch the show loved it -_madly. -pa. bast

which opens the second side, is totally out of place. It has a tolerable chugging rhythm, but the guitar playing is- amateurish, instead of perhaps gutsy, and the vocals by Jaties Young (his only lead on the album, and I know why) are just awful. Otherwise, the music is pretty good. Then there’s. the lyrics. They even went to the trouble of printing ‘em so you wouldn’t miss them. I hate to call this a concept album, but there does seem to be a recurring theme. If The Grand Illusion was about the uselessness of going to university, I might be tempted to call this the concept album bf the decade. However, The Grand Illusion, is, of course, stardom, a topic that every gi-oup ever worth their weight in vinyl has written about at one time or another. Mott the Hoople, with Ian ‘Stardom is Pain’ Hunter was the last word on the subject as far as I’m concerned. Stardom is pain; stardom is a grand illusion; stardom is the back end of a horse; what’s the difference? And do you even care? .

de Young,

The best song on the album is the one that seems the least connected lyrically to the theme, and that’s “Come Sail Away”. It’s got a great rock’n’roll chorus that you can sing without thinking, and it’s been running through my head for a week. With a little editing it could be a great single. “Castle Walls”, although tied to that theme, is a little more obscure lyrically, and is remihiscent of Uriah Heep circa

Young,

1972. It’s quite good as well. The title track also rates as one of the better songs, but ignore the lyrics. Perhaps we should give Styx the benefit of the doubt this time (about three stars, Oscar?). This band is one with a bright future, and they’re obviously not gping to come out with another album with lyrics like this one. It’s the lyrics, not the music, that’s the problem here.

With the entertainment situation on campus in the state it is, I suggest you take in Styx at the Kitchener Auditorium on November 19, where they’ll play with a promising new Canadian band, Prism. Last January 23, Styx played here with Moxy ,‘and proved to be a powerful and exciting live group. Perhaps the live show will sheer so’me of the excesses off this record and give it a little more punch. &son mitchelI

CIRCLES Time is the universe’s’ greatest enigma: To some anenemytoothersafriend. These were the ide& that ran through the mind of Jack Mallory, one of Chicago’s newest mob leaders that summer of 1923. It was the latest invention of Professor Eric Von Noodle that set off this line of thought in the Coca-Capri Nightclub. According to the professor’s theory his machine, when aimed at a certain object, could reach into that object’s past. It was” calculated that the machine found ‘the object anywhere from one minute to one week in the past and retrieved it to the present. This created a perfect double beside the original. Thus the machine was promptly named the Time-warp Duplicator, a machine the professor was willing to sell for a sizable amount.

“Don’t you see Mister Mallory, with this machine you could steal anything in the world by making its perfeet copy. Why you could even steal ‘the Mona Lisa!” shouted the hopeful professor.

“It’s worse than dat boss. Mugsy Medeiros has put a contract out on ya. He ain’t too happy about youse cutting into his turf. I just got the word that a couple of torpedoes from New York are gonna be here in fifteen minutes to rub ya out.”

“Your machine is useless to me. Since I have to be vithin five feet of thesoriginal to make its copy, and since that thing is too heavy to lug around, I may as well steal the original in the fibrst place. Hey Sam-help this guy pack up this contraption and throw him out.”

Mallory thought how low down Mugsy Medeiros, a rival gang leader from the north side, was in planning to kill him in his own joint. To get out of town in time he would have to leave his whole operation for Mugsy to take over. Suddenly he got a brilliant idea: -

The deflated p’rofessor, in slow motion, began putting his machine away with the help of the bartender. Just then a membet of Mallory’s gang busted into the room out of breath and ’ red in the face. “What’s the matter with you Pete? You look like you just met your first honest cop?” asked Mallory jokingly.

“Hey Sam! Bring the professor back in here. I think I can use his services after all,” said Mallory with a mysterious smile on his face. “But boss,” asked Pete, worrying, “ain’t we gonna get outa here?” “Nope! If Mugsy wants me dead then in fifteen minutes I will be dead!”

After asking Von Noodle a few more questions about his machine he learned that an object from the past c’ould be held’in transit for one minute, and it could be projected anywhere in the room. The faces of his gang slowly lit up as he explained his plan in great detail. Within ten minutes they were ready for their out-of-town guests. A few minutes later four men stepped out of their car each wearing a matching black suit and hat and carrying a machine gun. From a concealed spot near the front doors Pete used the fuzz buster silent alarm to notify Mallory of their arrival. Mallory quickly had Von Noodle take his picture. Then the professor immediately projected his copy in front of the kitchen’s swinging doors as the four men silently entered the Dining Room. Peering through a two

way mirror in a secret room behind the bar Mallory watched as his double raised his hands in front of his face in self preservation. The sound of rat-atatting fi!led the room as the business-like men shot down Mallory in cold blood. The kitchen doors soon resembled a slice of Swiss cheese. Having performed their evil deed, they quickly left the building. “Well done professor! Now I have a few days extra to get together my savings and head for South America, just till the heat blows over, you understand, then I’ll be back again on top. Okay Sam, see that the professor is taken c&-e of in the usual way.” Jack Mallory was now the happiest man in the world. Even the thought of Von Noodle lying at the bottom of the harbour with his feet encased in cement couldn’t spoil this moment Fields in transition:

for him. One week tater Mallory was leisurely walking in a park in a south american country trying to decide which kind of flowers to send to Mugsy Medeiros’ funeral. He had plenty of time to decide, as Mugsy wouldn’t be dead for another two hours yet. Suddenly he felt dizzy, nauseated as the world went completely dark. The spell lasted only a moment but when his sight returned he found himself back in the Coca-Capri Lounge staring down the muzzles of four machine guns. As if trying to ward off a nightmare he rasied his hands in front of his face. The guns spoke, and his body vibrated with their words. His dying thought was how untrustworthy a scientist’s theory could be. Von Noodle’s machine reached forward in time.. . not backwards. -f.j.

This lovemaking is paranoia Ego on choppy waters My fear drives us apart White snow under grey skies. Herein lies the mystery of this emotion A broken heart sings (no percussion) A white cap licks a beach Birds dance to innate rythms A starfish with four arms Repairs needed A dark cave beckons. ’ These tides wax and wane A forever-surge is impossible Retreat is often necessary To smooth sands and find treasure. This lovemaking is treasure Diamonds flashing in your eyes Broken opal and silv-er in mine. (your sympathy is not appreciated, ’ but your kindness is.) ’ When the sky grows dark The seas must surge This is a law This is nature. That exploration was natural But wave resisted wave You kindly hold my hand

Almost: As I lay down to sleep Here in my only outpost on this camp of doom With the morrow to bring thoughts of pain and torment; I thought of you, and hdw your soft soul lay here beside mine but two nights ago, creasing this too small mattress.

Review:

other Courage Bertolt Brecht’s play Mother Courage and her Children first played in 1941, and much .to the dismay of the playwrite the audience reacted with sympathy for the main character - Mot her Courage. Mother Courage is a businesswoman; she sells supplies to the armies involved in the “ThirtyYears’ War” of the 17th century, and her business turns out to be more important to her than her three children, all of whom meet a sorry end during the play. Brecht’s intention was to transmit an anti-war mess~age, while pointing out that the “pawns of

war” - the ordinary people in the street who have no control over the circumstances in which they find themselves - tend to play along and make the best of the situation.

This is not a stamp collection, although stamp collectors may well enjoy the Postal Art exhibition that opened at the UW Arts Centre Gallery on November 17. The show contains “expressions via the mail from artists around the world”and contains 300 pieces of mail received from twenty-two different countries. It will be on view until November 27.

call it so; otherwise, it remains just mail. Since 1970, there have been hundreds of shows of this nature in leading galleries and museums around the world and there are thousands of participants who have adopted the label “art” for their correspondence. Examples of the types of pieces in the show are: a feathered postcard, a hand-woven envelope, a crushed beer can, poems, letters, collages, Xerox pieces, rubber stamps, stickers, photography and found; altered or recycled images. The UW Arts Centre Gallery is located in the Modern Languages building. Admission is free and everyone is welcome. Special hours for this exhibition: 11:30am to 5pm Monday-Friday, Sundays 2pm - 5pm.

The exhibition was originated and organized by Bosia Irland, faculty member of the UW Fine Arts department and Geoff Wonnocott, a former UW student. The works exhibited are part of an international postal activity which has become recognized as an “art form” in its own right. Mail becomes “art” when someone decides to

Mother Courage and her Children was subject to much revision by Brecht after the first performance in 1941. Strangely, Brecht was unsuccessful in his attempt to cast Mother Courage as a character for whom one cannot sympathize. The UW Drama Group’s production (playing tonight and ending tomorrow) elicited sympathy for Mother Courage, despite the fact

that Jean Wright’s interpretation of the character was fairly close to Brecht’s idealization. This might be explained by certain inconsistencies in Wright’s interpretation of Mother Courage: the death of her two sons is met with an attitude that places business above kinship, but come the demise of her daughter the remorse, is obvious. Brecht did not intend that Mother Courage elicit any sympathy at all. The perversity of Mother Courage’s attitude - business before anything else - was meant to come through loud and clear. Brecht’s drama is intended to make people think, rather than entertain by playing on emotion. Despite the flaws in interpretation, the UW Drama Group’s production is well done. The scenery is simple (Brecht would approve), but the detail that is there is well conceived. The covered wagon, and the costumes of the actors age throughout the performance, thus conveying the passage of time and contributing well to the production. Music is provided by a four-‘piece orchestra, and the musicians are successful in creating an appropriate atmosphere. Overall, Mother Couqage and her Children must be one of the best offerings of the UW drama groups this term. % -bela nagy -nick redding

You light up my life:

t You have to be in the right frame of mind to enjoy You Light Up My Life, now showing at the Cinema in Kitchener. If you are overly emotional you stand a chance of dehydrating yourself during the last 20 minutes. If you’re feeling pretty cynical you may get terminal nausea from the first three-quarters of the film. If that doesn’t get you, you’ll die. laughing when you see the conclusion. But if, like most people, you lie somewhere between these two extremes, you’ll probably get a great deal of pleasure out of a film that, despite the occasional abomination, does pretty well for itself by the time the end credits are rolled. And the music’s nice, too. . . The music is probably drawing a lot of moviegoers. They won’t be disappointed. The balance is pretty heavy on ballads, but they’re nicely done, both musically and cinematically. The high point of the film is the performance of the title song. It’s one of those wonderful scenes that lifts all of the hair on the back of your neck and then curls it. That scene is also the high point for the female lead, played by Didi Conn. Her role, as a free-lance actor-singer-musician-comedienne who wants to make it *big in the recording industry, can get on your nerves, being full of the sort of goofy, sort of shy, brown-eyed, squeaky-voiced bubbliness that ’ leaves you unsure whether to put her on a pedestal or to put her out _with the garbage. But when she’s in the recording studio, and she’s nervous because it’s an important audition, and she’s never sung with a full orchestra before, and they start playing this arrangement of her song that she’s never heard before, and her mind’s exploding with the rush of it all, and then the strings come in - suffice to say it’s worth the price of admission. Nevertheless, if I had to give a one-word description of this film, I would unhesitatingly shout out ‘ ‘ Schmaltz !” It gets awfully gooey at times, and the plot gets so pre-

dictable that you begin to mouth the dialogue before the actors have a chance to speak it. We are first introduced to the sweet young thing whose father won’t let go. A week before her marriage to someone the audience immediately identifies as a slightly sympathetic creep, she meets (and spends a night ,with) Prince Charming, whereupon she tells him she can never see him again. A few days later the most amazing coincidence occurs and she runs into, of all people - the reader should be able to carry on from here. There’s even a “walking barefoot through the surf at Malibu” scene; I forget if the man was carrying a sports coat over his shoulder. Despite all of this, or perhaps because of it, you can’t help but like the lilm. It’s fun! If the film were to continue according to formula one would be satisfied with a nice bit of light entertainment. But it doesn’t, and that’s what makes it wonderful. When you finally hit the last part of the film you’re feeling pretty smug, sitting there, knowing how it will end. That’s when you get a great big cinematic slap in the face. Everything goes wrong - the formula you had such faith in is irretrievably destroyed, and in its place is a small nugget of wisdom, an unpretentious little object lesson in self-reliance and the danger of believing that life is like the movies. A9 you slowly come to realize that the “You” our heroine sings to in the title song isn’t who or what you thought it was, not at ail. If the film looked the tiniest bit like it was preaching, it would be a disaster. However writerdirector-producer Joseph Brooks wisely chose to maintain the lightweight ‘nature of the film throughout, with the result that it doesn’t buffet you at all, but rolls along, unassumingly open, allowing you to take from it what you want and not resenting whatever you leave behind. --steve

At the End of a Perfect Day Chris de Burgh (A & M) Chris de Burgh is a musician who has attempted to change the style of his music to the extent that his latest release - At the End of a Perfect Day - is barely recognizable as his own. Not surprisingly, the result is dreadful.

Despite a large collection of glowing reviews from the commercial press (handily provided by A & M Records), this reviewer remains unimpressed with de Burgh’s latest attempt. By modern standards, de Burgh is a simple man. He doesn’t go into heavy rock with all of the requisite equipment, but sticks with simple instruments like acoustic guitars and drums. His greatest asset is his voice, and he is capable of fine concert performance as was demonstrated at Kitchener Auditorium this summer. As a side attraction for the Super-tramp concert, de Burgh was dwarfed amongst Supertramp’s equipment and yet captivated the audience with his voice and guitar. He even received an encore, a rare feat for an opening act.

But the highlights of his concerts and recordings lie in Spanish Train and Other Stories, his second album. This was the release that led de Burgh from being booed off the stage to getting encores. “Lonely Sky”, a part of Spanish Train which was also released as a single, was looked upon as an indication of where de Burgh was going. Half rock, half vocal, “Lonely Sky” has a strange, insightful quality that distinguishes de Burgh. Unfortunately, ‘At the End’ of a Perfect Day sees de Burgh regress to simple, melodic ballads which one would expect to hear from an amateur acoustic guitarist ---not from a supposedly accomplished musician. It’s not the quality of the music that’s at fault here - the quality is undeniably high. But originality of content is just as important, and it is here that de Burgh has failed dismally. At the End of a Perfect Day will always have its following, but anyone who buys this album thinking that de Burgh has progressed from Spanish Train will be disappointed. -nick

Night after Night Nils Lofgren (A & Ml Only trivia fans are likely to remember that Nils Lofgren was just 17 when he got his first brief taste of public recognition from playing on Neil Young’s classic “After the Goldrush”. Young took advantage of Nils’ prodigious talents and instrumental expertise and applied them to what remains his best album to date. Four years later in 1974, Lofgren’s own band Grin, had split for good, and he didn’t resurface until his 1975 debut “Nils Lofgren” was released. It was an album highly regarded as the best of his career. Lofgren had at last produced something to stand beside Grin’s apolcalyptical work. Accompanied by brother Tom, 1975 concerts spread the cult attention across to a wider audience, his reputation further enhanced by the 1976 set “Cry Tough”, produced by Al Kooper. Perhaps the epitome of punk guitarists (not the needle-throughthe-nose swill, but the mean, loner, bad-boy no-sass punk), Lofgren’s is high energy but disciplined rock and roll. If he’d had to wait a long time for recognition, he had one

consolation - when “Cry Tough” made the charts in 1976, he was still just 24. -- Each new release finds Lofgren gaining momentum, and with the recent “Night after Night” double-live set, he has yet to disappoint from the opening chords of “Take You to The Movies” to the finale “ I came to Dance”, the title track of his last disc, he plays nonstop badass rock and roll. Included is a marvelous version of his song “Keith Don’t Go”, written for Keith Richards, one of his heroes,- and a prime influence. The only variance between this

version and the one from the first album is the inclusion of “ . . .to Toronto”(sic) in the chorus. Instrumental back-up is superb as usual, with various praise due Patrick Henderson for raunchy rock keyboard rolls. There have been better releases this year, but not many, and as few as much fun. The album makes vicious pee-pee all over the new “Chicago” photo-copy. One quote from the disc. “I got a message for the in crowd/ Two big words that read/ You better look out.” Play it loud. REALLY loud. -peter smith

Last Friday the Warrior fans were given two treats. The first was a Warrior victory 86-105 over Estonia and the second was an insight as to what international games are like. Since the Warriors were short of officials, I watched the game while running the 30 second clock. Being that close to the floor many ‘unofficial’ conversations were heard. The referees did call a decent game even though the fouls were Waterloo 5 Estonia 14 at the end of the half, with the score Wat 4.5 Estonia 40, and fouls about even by the end of the game. Seven technical fouls were assessed against Estonia. George Rautins (member Cana‘dian National team) had 3 tech fouls called on him because of himself after fouling out. The referee threatened twice to halt the game unless Rautins kept quiet. The referee asked him to leave the court and his reply was “make me, make me”. This event was witnessed by the many fans there (3000) who questioned Rautins sportsmanlike conduct.

A similar event happened spring ‘76 at Carleton University when the Canadian National team played the best players in Ottawa at the time. The fans openly criticized many players on the Canadian team for being too rough and aggressive. In international play the game is very physical and referees are often accused of being biased. Rautins, Kongate, Sharpe and Schlote slipped at times into the international game, which was the type of game the referees (local) were not accustomed to calling. Thus many fouls and bad feelings occurred on the Estonia team. From where ,I sat the coach of Estonia seemed to do little to straighten the situation out with his players, which explains the 7 tech fouls. -

Heather Weibe finished third. TheWomen’s “B” division saw some very fine play from Debbie Hayes, as she took the title with an unde-feated record. Clare Pillo and Judy Heffer finished close behind, The Men’s side of the draw also saw some very dramatic play. In Men’s “A”, Bill Yeates and Eric Johnson had to go into a sudden death final to determine a winner. Both players were involved in four other hotly contested games in less than one hour before this final, but still managed- to play magnificently before Yeates finally prevailed 15-10. Mr. Yeates then had to hurry off and write a mid-term! Leo S.K. finished third. In Men’s “B”, John Ruiter went through the entire tournament with only one loss. He prevailed in a tightly contested round robin final, with Edmond Kuan finishing second and Don Stricelj third.

’ Response , to Higgs When I read-the article “Clearing Up Confusions” (chevron, November 4, 1977) written by D. Higgs, in answer to my article “Is Marxism a Science?” (chevron, October 18, 1977), I could only draw one conclusion: rationality is confusing to a man who lacks concentrated thinking. Mr. Higgs raises six points. I will try to answer them one by one: 1. No comments, since holy things are not for everyone. 2. The Laws of Kepler describe accurately “how” planets move around the sun, the Laws of Newton explain “why” planets move around the sun. 3. The concepts of gravitational forces and of forces used in experimental science exist since Newton, who invented these concepts. The word “force” existed prior to Newton. 4. In my article I compare the consistent behavior of dead matter with actions of living men. That this implies inconsistent behavior of living matter is Mr. Higg’s idea, which he considers to be false. 5. Rational thinking is based on absolute thoughts, which have no relation to anything else. 6. See No. 1. Dr. J. Schroeder Professor, Civil Engineering Dept.

Socialist Christians

I can see that I will come under fire for my last paragraph in last week’s feedback letter entitled ‘Schroeder mistaken’. I got a little carried away. Socialism per se would not make god send forth angels and he reserves the Holy Spirit for believers. I meant to say merely that god would be pleased to see Capitalism abolished. Dr. Schroeder, if the spirit and heart of man changes so will his behavior. And how would a society change it it’s people became Christian? The society would obviously behave in a more Christian fashion. Is Capitalism Christian behavior? No it is not. The purpose of Capitalism is to provide as much money as possible for the Capitalists. Capitalists use their money to make more money by charging for its use. That is not Christian behavior. The bible states that one can not love god and money at the same time. It states that it will be very difficult for the rich man to get into heaven. It also states that one must love thy neighbour as thy self but the Capitalists deprive others of money to the point of poverty in order to make money. Now, is socialism Christian behavior? Yes it is. The purpose of socialism is to provide fairly for all. Money has no ability to make more money and nobody makes much more money than anybody else. That is Christian behaviour. A socialist society is not necessarily Christian but never the less it is inherently more Christian than Capitalism is, and that is why a Christian should support socialism. Socialist want people to love people more than money and to that end Christians and socialists must work together. G.M.

ttet I would like to thank’the anonymous writer of “Schroeder Mistaken” for his inspiring thoughts on topics ranging from the perversions of Marxism to our potential for reconciliation with the Holy Spirit. G.M. should also be congratulated for his efficiency. How clever of him to send a copy of’his “concrete proposals for the establishment and opera-

tion of a Socialist society” to the Prime Minister ! Sir, if your promised manifesto is “not a raving profusion of words”, it will be a unique accomplishment for you. The naivety of your political analysis w,as amusing, but your closing remarks betrayed an embarassing ignorance of fundamental concepts. You have said that “Christianity arose from the common moral code that is a consequence of humanity being in the situation it is”. This nonsensical statement was followed by the equally outrageous assertion that , socialism also arose from that moral code.” I do not wish to lengthen a debate which has already been pushed to absurd limits by Dr. Schroeder and Steve Schildroth. I (merely contest your attempt to equate a religion rooted in man’s freedom from his existential guilt, with your lunatic fringe of society. To do so shows a remarkable misunderstanding of the faith which has inspired millions of Christians for two thousand years. If I have misunderstood your intended message and there is really a logical statement concealed within it, I make no apology and suggest instead that you visit the writing \ clinic in Humanities Hall.

Apology To the Arts students - University of Waterloo On the last day-of the past elections I neglected to remove nine of my election posters.

olini a fascist! A letter signed by International Students Association last week expressed surprise that somebody around here “called the fascist Mussolini a communist”. I went once more throughthe recent letters to chevron and found that the only letter which mentioned Mussolini was mine. I did not call Mussolini a communist, I know history better than that. He was a fascist all right, he was ideologist of fascism. The International Students Association should, however, know some facts before publishing statement like that. ‘Who was Mussolini? His father, Allessandro Mussolini, was a blacksmith and devoted Socialist. Mussolini became, very early in his life, a Socialist himself. Mussolini even was one of the reddest. He organized meetings of workers and strikes and was even deported from Swit.zerland to Italy in 1904. He was an admirer of Marx. In 1912, Mussolini became a leading star of the It,alian Socialist Party. There were no communists by that time, all Marxists called themselves Socialists. In 1913, he was a soul of antiwar demonstrations in Italy, during the so-called Red Week. He was the head of the only then existing Socialist paper and was an undisputed leader of the precommunist Marxist Left. Listen to our man’s comments during those meetings of Red Week: “The Nationalists and the bourgeois, our enemies, want their revenge. In Rome, protected by their armed police, they have attacked the workers. . . Very well, we shall have to be prepared. In every quarter, in every district, squads of workmen must form and be always on the “qui vive”, ready to give the alarm the minute the “gilded horde” approaches. If the bourgeoisie is stupid enough to want an extra-cost civil war, they will get it.” His Socialist faith did not evaporate by contact with World War I. He wrote on July 27, 1914: “The proletariat must not ,hesitate their desire for peace at once. If the government, disdaining the unanimous wish of public opinion, is hurled into this ne.w adventure, the truce of arms which we declared after the .,’

last strike will be denounced. . .” ’ Familiar, isn’t it? I have a collection of such quotations. This story shows how outspoken Marxists may finally turn to fascism. Hitler was a Socialist as well at the beginning of his political career. But - you were supposed to know that! The U.S.S.R. is at present the most developed communist country. Its conversion to fascism has become more and more apparent. In the last Soviet constitution, the fascist slogan that the State is more than the individual is expressed clearly and convincingly. Read it! And the conclusion? Marx had in this century two disciples which have had the biggest impact upon world history: Lenin and Mussolini. The others are just followers who do not want to hear about their common origin. However, the convergence of the systems they created shows -that there is something basically wrong with both of them. But, let me talk about this next week. Now, one more comment related to my statements on fascism. There is no doubt that the chevron, and interested groups on campus, have to talk about politics. I feel, however, that the selection of issues presented here in chevron is one-sided. It is always something obviously prepared and predigested by some discreetly hidden, anonymous mind in some midget communist party. The problems discussed here are real problems, but their selection, South Africa etc. ,-is intended to show exclusively how the Western World is corrupted. I have not seen anything about the inhumane, and equally fascist, regimes controlled by Marxists. The struggle of the people of Cambodia, the antimarxist guerrillas in Vietnam, Soviet dissidents, Charter 77, Polish Committee for the Defense of Workers have never been mentioned here. These are the real heroes of our time. To be a dissident fighting the monstrous machinery of communist power means more than anybody here may imagine. When a dissident is treated with ammazme, a drug permanently damaging his brain, it means that he will never be able to work intellectually again. The poet will never write a poem. The architect will never design houses. This is worse than death. The freedom fighters in the mountains of Vietnam, abandoned by the whole world, but still fighting, are the heroes as well. Why doesn’t anyone help them? Where are your bleeding hearts now? Thus, political campaigns on the pages of the chevron are not spontaneous. They are actually carefully orchestrated actions. When will chevron talk about other important issues as well,? Stanislav Reinis Psychology

most disturbed that, I’m n,ot allowed the right to live my life as I see fit, so long as I do not infringe on the right of everyone else to do likewise. This particular view can also be found in “Political Ideals” written by Bertrand Russell in 1917, when he wrote, “I think in all cases the law should only intervene when there is some injury inflicted without the consent of the injured person.” You also mentioned that, “Liberty carries with it a responsibility,“. But a responsibility to what? Should I be responsible to the state, or to the law? Or should I be responsible to justice and to the people. One further quotation from “On Liberty” would be of importance at this point: “There is a limit to the legitimate interference of collective opinion with individual independence; and to find that limit, and maintain it against encroachment, is indispensible to a good condition of human affairs. . . . But though this proposition is not likely to be contested in general terms, the practical question, where to place the limit is a subject on which nearly everything remains to be done.. . .Some rules of conduct therefore, must be imposed, by law in the first place . . . .What these rules should be is the principal question in human affairs.” I would then say, that my only responsibility to the law, is to use disgression in deciding whether or not to obey a . earlier, particular law. As mentioned everyone should have the right to live their own lifestyle so long as they do not infringe on the rights of other people to their own lifestyle. Finally you mentioned that, ‘ ‘ . . . the vil- * lager had both a legal and moral DUTY to report you.” I wonder how you would reconcile this statement with your earlier statement that, “I am, in general terms, a supporter of John Stuart Mill’s premis on liberty.” I would like to make one final note concerning laws pertaining to the control of marijuana. Only through the pressure of extensive illegal use of marijuana have there been any changes made in the laws concerning usage of marijuana. In cases where the penalties for marijuana use have been reduced, not once to the best of my knowledge, have any official reports (medical) been cited as the reason for these changes. It would therefore seem that continued usage is the only effective means for bringing change in the laws. ,, Murray Wightman

The KFGF replies /The Karl Friedrich Gauss Foundation takes this opportunity to reply to two letters published in the chevron of last week. In these letters, the Karl Friedrich Gauss Foundation was criticized for displaying a poster advertising the movie “The Shape of Things To Come” in which Adolf Hitler and Mao Tsetung werL ‘-nicted as close corn-, rades. The intention of ihis poster was to point out a simple fact prevalent in presentday politics, that is a movement towards less democracy and more totalitarianism, both of the left and the right. In effect, we are maintaining that neither Adolf Hitler nor Mao Tsetung represent democratic institutions. That this is so in the case of Hitler is, indisputable, while in the case of Mao Tsetung, we need only point out that certain members of the A.I.A., presumably ,following the principles of Mao Tsetung thought, were tearing down all posters as they were being put up, a manifestly undemocratic action. It should be noted that the Federation of Students had nothing to do with the poster, and that the Karl Friedrich Gauss Foundation claims complete responsibility for it. “In their common respect for rulers, antagonistic powers have always fostered the seeds of their future coexistence.” @ox Lyv Herman D.L.Night Replies to Incorrect Political Criticism Organ Karl Friedrich Gauss Foundation

Two weeks ago, a letter with the heading “V 1 Incident Unfortunate” was placed in Feedback. As one of the authors of that letter, I wish to reply to the comments made last week by Mr. Robert Goss concerning our letter. In your letter you made the statement, “you missed one of the most important ideals, the law (not law’s but the law).” You spoke of the law. I speak of justice. I Justice, idealily should be embodied in law; but this is not always the case. In my mind one should always attempt to seek justice and amend laws in order to incorporate justice as it is perceived by society. Unfortunately in many instances lawmakers are unable -to transcend petty politics. A more eloquent presentation may be found in, “9, Liberty” written in 1849 by John Stuart Mill: “Society can and does execute its own mandates; and if it issues wrong mandates instead of right, or any mandates at all in things with which it ought not to meddle, it practices a social tyranny more formidible than many kinds of political oppression, penetrating much more deeply into the details of life, and enslaving the soul itself.” Also, I wish to point out to you that I do not claim to be entitled to the right to live outside the law, if the law is just law.

Feds deny involvment To whom it may concern; Re: In regard to the poster picturing Mao and Hitler. The Federation of Sutdents did not and has not designed, printed or circulated anything for the KFGF, ever!

Several things spring to mind on reading the complaints in your last issue about a :~,~~:x~wx49 by the Karl Friedrich Gauss r: ;ii‘~&&~&~~~~~~~ 1. While I believe Josef Stalin holds the world record for mass murder, both Adolf Hitler and Mao Tse-tung are “Top 10” contenders for the title. There is no justification for murder. The-distinction between Hitler’s extermination of the Jews and Mao’s extermination of “fascists and reactionaries” is so fine as to escape me; neither politics nor religion can make a person a less human being. 2. Nazi Germany was allied with Imperialist Japan, which, like Mao, was fighting against Fascist Chiang Kai-shek. Thus - there was a period during which Hitler and Mao had interests in common. 3. “prettify” is hardly common English usage. Its appearance twice in one letter and again in the other imply, with an unreasonable certainty, that they were written by one and the same person. 4. As any Marxist will tell you, the correct spelling is Marl, not Carl. 5. I think the letters crossed the thin boundary from “recognition of individual greatness” to the “cult of personality”. Is Maoism to be the official religion of the state without an institutional church? Sounds a little like the divine right of kings to me. 6. Threats of “retaliation” are the weapons of fascists, dictators and blackmailers, and constitute duress, a violation of human integrity. Carrying them out is the weapon of fascist running-dog lackeys, oppressors and criminals, and constitute assault, a violation of human dignity. 7. The poster was artistically well-done and socially relevant. It takes skill and talent to produce such a work of genius. s. I have only pity for anyone who is so dependent for their ideas on dogma that they cannot laugh if it is not dogmatically acEl ceptable. . Yours in bleakest Mordor, David W. Gillett.

Some time ago the KFGF and the Federation of Students jointly put up posters depicting the late great Adolph Hitler along side the tyrant Mao Tse Tung. We feel this does considerable injustice to Hitler, while prettifing Mao. It. is clear to any intelligent student that Mao Tse Tung was-both a tyrant and a villain with little regard for the sanctity of human rights. Almost singlehandedly this devil enslaved the entire population of mainland China. (Hong Kongremains the last bastion of hope for the free Chinese.) Hitler unselfishly and almost alone brought a suffering and-desparate nation out of the death throes

friday,

of the worst economic depression in the world’s history, and into a prosperous and progressive state. Tse Tung on the other hand brought the people of China to their knees. He lied to, and decieved what otherwise would have become a great free nation. His oppression included the slaughter of millions of innocent people who rightfully refused to surrender to the irreconcilable sadistic philosophies of this schizophrenic madman. To accept the writings of Tse Tung is to deny a human his right to dignity and self respect. It is with deep respect and understanding that we recognize the Emperor Hirohito’s efforts to defeat the perverted

The

pompous Tse Tung initiated the anticultural development which destroys the manner in which we all live, which is ironically recognized by some of the more misguided individuals. as something called a ‘Proletariat Cultural Revolution.’ Tse Tung like his predecessor Ghengis Khan rose to power along the road that is shamefully covered with the bodies and blood of his cruelly slain countrymen. We recognize in his abberant behaviour the atrocities that were perpetrated during his reign of terror. It is with great disgust that we even think of this agent of destruction and all of his cohorts and followers. It is with this public letter that we attempt to show that it is not Adolph Hitler who should be removed from the poster, but rather the dishonorble Mr. Mao. We recognize that Hitler was after all an evil man. However his evil is far surpassed by that of the degenerate Tse Tung. It goes without saying that the editors and publishers of the chevron are Maoists, and in their attempt to decieve the public may edit or even ignore this attempt to set the record staight. We will therefore supply copies to all publications on this campus. Unlike Tse Tung’ s oppressive state we welcome any response. Send via the chevron. Thankyou. Truthfully, Rowan Alman.

- A Note on the Letter “The KFGF Packof-Lifes” Once again the necrophils of the third world and sub-leninist subpolitic are on the stage. They turn around in the sewers of their putrefied ideology trying to seize every alive thing the critical consciousness SUCceeds in expressing. These priests of the humanist neo-Christianity do not stop at anything, not even at ridicule. They feigned shock-and were scandalized at the image of Mao embracing Hitler, but what really scandalized them was that the truth of the spectacle was uncovered. The difference between the supporters of the butcher of the Commune of Canton and the supporters, who had accomplished capitalism ad litteram (everything is commodity, everything has a value even bones) is merely spectacular. In other words, the difference is inside the “representation of life”, which is provided daily by the capital in order to feed our false existence. Culture and Art teach us how to-pretend to express ourselves, consequently, castrating our creativity. While the social sciences teach us how to pretend to commun~ate and so castrate our vitality. In the same way socialist ideologies and their missionaries (trotskysts, maoists and the putrid remains of anarchism - regardless of the different labels, they are-all essentially stalinist) try to oblige us to simulate the struggle thereby castrating our desires of totality, our intolerance of surviving instead of living. Slobbering their mournful compassion for the condition of a social class, with whom they do not have any kind of a relationship, they celebrate their religious services on the Proletariat’s altars, disseminating the millenial Word - by now become Thought - of the prophets, of the paradise, of the next forthcoming Apocalypse, of capital.

As all avant gardes, they do not understand the real struggle at -all; they are in chronic delay with history. Thus, they can perform only one duty - policemen, watchdogs of the system. Their theoretical positions are more and more ridiculous and are far away from the practical elaborations of

their inspirers. Their only mental activity consists in reducing to their level everything which superexceeds them. They are all warned: the real movement of and desire for totality will not tolerate any longer the stink of death. that their presence gives off. Let the dead bury the dead: we have nothing to lose but our chains. Nicola Santoro Department of Computer Science

Many theories and opinions have developed over the past two weeks with respect to Entertainment. There is one rumor that I would like to lay to rest here and now! It has been relayed to me via the grapevine that many of you think that all/this entertainment cancellation was a big plot, in order to create a crisis situation in lieu of the refundable fee vote. To this I give the Bronx clear and say Bullshit! There is no way I would ever do or say something like that. That allegation is a lie. 1 would like to take this opportunity and outline why certain decisions were made at certain times. On Friday 28 October, the Board of Entertainment (B .Ent. ) and the treasurer (Martha Coutts) approached me with a situation which placed the Federation in a position of facing an approximately deficit of $ lO,OOO.OO ifwe proceeded, or $5,000.00 ifwe cancelled Gentle Giant. We proceeded, and the band was cancelled, out of monetary concern. There are many questions as to why this situation arose. Guelph played Giant which grabbed some of our market. Harry Chapin and Giant back to back was poor planning. Advertisement started too late. Illusionary advertisement to feed the Guelph market (i.e. Sam’s in Kitchener thought the concert was only in Guelph). A number of factors were instrumental in the demise of Gentle Giant. It’s unfortunate that I was faced with the decision at such an early time in my term. It was a budgetary concern which required immediate consideration. We are presently looking into the possibility of booking some top named-talent. Problems‘in acquiring PAC for concerts is a major concern. We are presently looking into the possibilities of correcting that situation or will. The coffeehouses have also been in the limelight. As of November 6 the coffeehouse was facing a deficit of $1,200.00. It was then decided by the Executive on the request of the Board of Entertainment that the CCCH and the South Campus Hall pubs be closed effective 11 and 18 November and that a program to reorganize the Board be started. I would like to emphasize the fact, that the purpose of the shut-down was to rebudget and reorganize the events so they become more economically viable. Subsequent to these decisions I decided that in the case of the coffeehouse the additional $200.00 loss which could result from Champagne Charlie November 20 and Terry Jones November 27 (good performers, please attend) would be absorbed rather than recieve adverse publicity in the entertainment world with respect to cancellations. The Pear of Pied Pumkin was very well attended and recieved, and in my opinion a worthwhile performance. The Campus Centre Board has stated that they will assume monetary responsibility for the December 4 Rosalie Sorrels concert. These considerations and others, expressed by several students prompted me to reverse the Executive decision to discontinue the coffee-houses. Mr. Bruce Rorrision, chairman, Board of Entertainment wrote in feedback last week that “we have already had one major decision publicly reversed within two days by the President after going to Council and committee:‘.

novembkr

78, 7977

I feel Mr. Rorrison should have done a little more investigation into cancellation proceedures because this week he finds himself in the same position, with respect to the South Campus Hall pubs. It is true however that Mr. Rorrison did not reverse his decision on the pubs, he had Mr. Jim Todd (Entertainment Co-ordinator) present a motion in Council to support any deficit resulting from the two pubs. (Cueball November 18 and Choir November 25). Those are some problems which face the Board of Entertainment at this time. They are major concerns to me so that is why they have recieved much attention as of late. It is not my aim to provide less entertainment. It is my aim to provide the highest level of entertainment, which will be supported by a proportion of the student body-. The willingness to change and little time is all we need. Anyways! That is the way it happened. In many peoples opinions B. Ent. is BENT but hopefully that will change. Next week I hope to be able to lay down a clear answer as to how and what direction ihe Federation would like to see the chevron move in. Thanx for your indulgence. Federation

of Students.

Because your Federation is concerned about the quality of education on this and every campus. it is without hesitation that we approve in principle constructive course evaluations. A course evaluation in the Arts faculty has been part of the Bd of Educations directive for the past three years, we have a definiteand ongoing concern with the Arts questionnaire. lt is at this time that Arts would have liked the Federation to support, with a ceiling of two thousand dollars, an evaluation. However, exercising restraint the current council decided that this allocation could not be justified. Critics of the proposed ceiling explained that since Math and Engineering only receive about five hundred dollars, the situation with the Arts e.valuation questionare should be reviewed. The Federation is looking into the financial aspects of the Arts programme. Yet, we stress that we support the effort in Arts to provide this type of evaluation.

I cannot believe my- eyes ! Upon reading the AIA feedback letter (“Patriotism a Fraud”) I can understand why no one would put their name to it. It is the work of a fool. It stinks of misconceptions and stupidities. Absurdity 1 “Bourgeois media is carrying out maximum propaganda around the question of the “federalism” and “unity” fraud of Trudeau and the “independence” fraud of Levesque.” The AIA spreads more propaganda than the commercial press. The press is not the source of propaganda - it is the politicians which are the source. The press accurately depicts their statements. (By the way, the commercial press, unlike the AIA, knows that the word media is plural, not singular.) Absurdity 2 “Patriotism does not exist apart from class struggle”. Any half-hearted student of history knows that patriotism can unite people of widely different “class” backgrounds. Absurdity 3 “ The national unity fraud and the other side of the coin, the independence fraud of Rene Levesque, and instruments to split the ranks of the Canadian working class and people on the basis of national and social chauvinism, and to keep the people from uniting in action against the main enemy continued on page 23

continued from page 22 ’ U.S. Imperialism and the reactionary bourgoisie.” This is stupid. First, unity based on ethnic origin is more potent against Imperialism. The French-English split has incapacitated the people through history. Strength of the Canadian economy is owed to the U.S. The worker won’t fight it. He needs it. Absurdity 4 “Through this counterrevolutionary theory. . .” Since there is no revolution in Canada, how can anything be counter revolutionary? Absurdity 5 “ Since Confederation, the federal government has sent its army into Quebec on 20 occasions to suppress the struggles of the proletariat and the people against capitalist exploitation, imperialist foreign dominance and for national liberation.” Earlier you. criticized national liberation. Now you criticize suppressing it. Make up your mind, friends. The government does not send in an army, anyway. Much of the , army is French. Absurdity 6 Paragraphs are devoted to the denunciation of Quebec’s plans to extract resources, and stimulate the economy. Is the AIA really suggesting that the Quebec work force be laid off in order to fight U.S. Imperialism? Whose interests are really at stake? The-remainder of the letter is so absurd and senseless as to be unworthy of attention It speaks for itself. Are the AIA trying to maintain the burden on the Worker by putting most of them out of work? Are they using the Workers to defend and fight for the AIA’s political interests? I say Bullshit!

Lettitor, Chevron: A REMINDER TO “FRIENDS” Last week some sympathizers of Chairman Mao Tse-Tung, who unfortunately is dead and cannot defend himself from his “friends”, wrote to the chevron: “The KFGF pack-of-lies” and “KFGF puts up fascism”. A reply to their letters doesn’t seem to be necessary since the quality of their arguments makes enough fun of them. But since it seems that some of these people are still around, we think it would be interesting to remember a few quotes from the SCUM (Society for Cutting Up Moaoists) Manifesto written in early 1968 (Valerie Solenas and Friends: SCUM Manifesto, The Olympia Press, Inc. 1968). In the light of the subsequent events, these quotes assume very enlightening meaning. -__l_-__ _. “To be maoist is to be deficient, emotionally limited; maoism is a deticiency disease and maoists are emotional cripples. . .. “ The maoist is completely egocentric, trapped inside himself, incapable of empathizing or identifying with others. . . . “He is a half dead, unresponsive lump,

incapable of giving or receiving pleasure or happiness; consequently he is at best an utter bore, an inoffensive blob. . . . The maoist likes death - it excites him sexually and, already dead inside, he wants to die . . . . “The maoist is, by his very nature, a leech, an emotional parasite and, therefore, not ethically entitled to live, as no one has the right to live at someone else’s expense.. . .” SCUM Society for Cutting Up Maoists

Essays wanted One of the many allegations which have been made about students’ writing abilities is that they have declined recently. To discover whether or not the allegation has any basis in fact, and to discover whether ornot there has been a surreptitious change in English standards at the university, I have begun a collection of first year essays. These essays will be examined for the number of grammar errors they contain per hundred words as well as for their style and clarity of expression.

On Saturday last the Waterloo R.F.C. played host to the OUAA Rugby Championships. The Warriors entered this final contest against Western with a 8-O record while the Waterloo Trojans’ compiled a 7-O-l record to gain a berth in the club finals against Queens University. The extreme cold made for poor ball handling and the Warriors’ game was strictly one of defence. This meant that a great many kicks were made, trying to drive the Mustangs back.

Waterloo Warriors won the consolidation final game to take third place in the six team CIAU championship tournament held last weekend in Waterloo. An outstanding effort by the home team saw them come agonizingly close to the cup itself. As it happened though, York University took it with a 2- 1 victory in the final match over Concordia of Montreal, last year’s winner. The championship took place under severely inclement weather which kept the fans away in droves. One of the games was played under heavy snow flurries, which rendered visibility poor and “ slippability” even worse. Play generally was not as sharp as would have been expected in championship soccer because of the great difficulty in staying on two feet-in the muddy slush. Waterloo’s Friday opener was

against Victoria, amidst strong wind and snow flurries. Waterloo held off Victoria with its wind advantage in the first half of the game. Victoria put up a good fight even with the wind against them in the second half, until in the 84th minute, Waterloo scored. Luigi Circelli booted in the goal on a crossover pass from Bert Van Hout. Two minutes later, Zenn Moszora added the insurance goal to make it 2-O for Waterloo. Don Boogerman rendered the shutout. Waterloo then advanced to Saturday’s semi-final match against the well rested team from, Concordia. While Waterloo played on Friday, Concordia had a break and rest. Concordia scored early in the first half on a lucky deflection off a Waterloo defender. Waterloo quickly replied with ,a goal from the boots of Paul Stevenato.

side cross over the Concordia centre back’s head, to Stevenato who knew exactly what to do with it. Despite Waterloo controlling most of the game, they were unable to score again, and after 90 minutes the tally was still l-l. Concordia scored in overtime on another lucky deflection, and Waterloo lost 2-l. Waterloo must have been tired by this point, but they still had two consolation matches ahead of them on Sunday. Sunday morning, they defeated Manitoba 2- 1 on Columbia Field. Luigi Circelli scored the first goal, on a cross from Graham Vincent. The team credits Syp Akbar with spearheading the play in the first place! Paul Stevenato booted home the winner on a pass from Luigi. His right footer beat the Manitoba goalie in the lower left comer. Sunday at noon, Waterloo somehow found the energy to beat Dalhousie 3-l to take the consolation final and third place. In the first goal, the goalie dropped a shot from David Grundy , at Zenan Moszora’ s feet. All he had to do was put it in. Paul Stevenato connected for the second goal on a centred pass from Graham Vincent. But Van Hout completed the Warriors three first half goals when he took a hard wide shot at the net. The goalie managed to get his hands on it enough to deflect it into the net! York and Concordia completed the tournament with a choppy game on Sunday afternoon. Pasquale D’Otolo scored for Concordia near the end of the first half. York showed sudden energy at the start of the second half, with two quick goals, both headers off corner kicks. Nick Plessas and Mat Musaby were responsible. York hung on to win the game and the Same Davidson trophy for 1977. Mat Musaby of York was named the most valuable player in the tournament. Sports write-ups tend to glorify the goal scorers and ignore the rest of the team. The whole Waterloo team from defenders to midfield to forwards played as an extremely cohesive unit. Their efforts this weekend showed them to all be equal in ability and sportsmanship. --christq3her

All in all the season was a fine success for the Waterloo RFC and even though the season has now ended the team still maintains a few of its social functions. A trip to New Orleans is being planned for next term to catch the Mardi Gras and the rugby tournament at Tulane University, and if you find yourself some free time you may as well come and join the team as a social member. . -jon

The treacherous field conditions caused Van* Hout to miss this play but moments later he set up Cirelli for what proved to be the winning goal. Final score, Waterloo 2, Victoria 0.

The referee looked on in disbelief (as did the rest of us) for somehow, the ball did NOT go in the net! This is some of the action as seen in the C/AU soccer championships last weekend in Waterloo. Here York played Concordia in the final game. dufoto jr.
