1977-78_v18,n27_Chevron by Editor Imprint

e Conflict arose between the executive of the International Students Association (ISA) and the Federation of Students late last year when Federation president Rick Smit refused to sign cheques for ISA for a few days, tore down a number of posters advertising an ISA-sponsored event, recognized a president of the ISA who was not supported by the executive of that organization, and then obstructed the holding of an ISA-sponsored Holiday Party for the international students on campus. The conflict arose in early December when Rick Smit discovered that Salah Bachir, the elected president of ISA and a member of the Anti-Imperialist Alliance, was not a student and therefore, according to Smit, was not entitled to hold an elected position in ISA and never had been the legitimate president of the association. Smit said that “Salah lied and got elected under false pretenses.” Once Smit discovered that Bachir was not a student he began to tear down a number of posters advertizing a rally organized by the ISA executive and the AIA to oppose “State Organized Racist Attacks.” In Council on December 8, Smit defended his action, stating that, “they weren’t ISA posters. They were Salah Bachir posters.” Bachir resigned in early December. The ISA executive met and decided to appoint Abera Mahannen as the interim president of the association until new elections could be held. The election will take place Tuesday at 7:30pm in the World Room. Although the ISA constitution states that the vice-president, Yahaya Chindaya, “shall exercise the powers of and be charged with the duties of the president in his absence ,” the executive passed over Chindaya in favour of Mahannen. According to Bat hir, the executive “decided that since the vicepresident wasn’t doing any of the work, wasn’t coming around, wasn’t participating.. .that someone who had been president would be interime president.” The treasurer of the ISA stated that Chindaya only came to the first two fall meetings of the executive and then didn’t show up again until “this meeting in December.” Chindaya told the chevron that he opposed the proceedings of the meeting and that he voted against the election of Mahannen. However, the chevron contacted four of the other five members present at the meeting and each one stated that while Chindaya did vote against Mahannen, he did not voice his opposition to the proceedings. Chindaya had originally run against B’achir in a fall election and had been overwhelmingly defeated by the vote of a general meeting which attracted some 40 members of ISA. Bachir had run on a platform of defence of the basic interests of the students, opposition to stateorganized racist attacks such as the new immigration bill, opposition to the differential fee for foreign students, and social programs. When Chindaya was asked about his original platform, he had no comment. Peter Tsonis, a Greek student present at the election meeting, estated that Bachir “ran on politics” and Chindaya ran on “social events.” Tsonis said that the members definitely wanted the president to have a political program and that C hindaya was given the vicepresidency “as a compromise.”

Mahannen, the president appointed by the executive, supports the platform that Bachir ran on. However, Smit does not accept Mahannen’s appointment and rec-

n ognizes Chindaya, the old vicepresident, as the legitimate president. Mahannen told the chevron that the Smit’s decision constitutes in-

terference in the internal affairs of ISA. “We are an autonomous organization,” he said. Smit told the chevron December 2-l that “the only thing that hap-

pened when that went on was the fact that we would not accept invoices from the ISA.. .untill they got a new president, and it was only a period of about five days.” Howevet-, neither Chindaya nor St-hit have been co-operating with the executive of ISA since early December. Chindaya refused to come to the executive meeting held on December 18 for a discussion on the ISA December Holiday Party and the ISA Week for the winter term. Instead he called his own executive meeting, a power he does not have according to the ISA constitution. While six of the ten executive members attended the regular meeting, only one other executive member besides Chindaya could have -possibly attended the other ‘meeting, according to the treasure1 of the association. When Chindaya was asked who was present at his meeting he refused to comment except to say that “certain members at large” came. Smit had been blocking the holding of a holiday party organized by the ISA executive. The party had been scheduled for December 23 in a lounge in the Psychology building, yet the campus administration refused to book the room; Zell Whittington, of the administration’s booking office, said that the reservation was blocked because she got a memo from Helga Petz, Federation office manager, which stated that only Chindaya could make bookings for the ISA.

Smit also had a seventy dollar check made out for the party which Peter Yates, Federation business manager, refused to give to anyone but Chindaya. Yet, C hindaya was taking no part in the organization of the party. On December 20, Smit told the chevron that, “I don’t know anything about the cancellation” of a booking in the psychology lounge, and that “we gave them (the ISA through the treasurer) the money.. .when they came in here.” The party, with about 50-60 people in attendance, had to be held in the Campus Centre, and the money, according to Peter Yates, was not released to the treasurer until December 22, the day before the party. Chindaya did not show UP. When Chindaya was asked about the party on December 20, he simply said: “Right now I don’t have a comment about it.” Bachir claims that, “the interference of the, Federation just comes because the ISA has decided to take upmilitantly...adefenceofthe basic interests of students.. .opposition to the new immigration Act, Bill C-24, and to the differential fee for foreign students.” He pointed out that Smit was the only member of counci’l to vote against a Dec. 8 motion opposing Bill C-24. When Smit was later asked why he voted against the motion he said, “Actually, I shouldn’t have voted against it. And I’m going to catch flack for it . . . .I voted against it for the same reason I voted against a lot of things that night - because I was damn mad at what was going on in council, and protested.” While being questioned on ISA Smit said “I don’t know what the big story here is, but...1 think the whole thing is that you want to peg me as a racist or something while I’m not. That’s wrong. . . I can tell you right now. I know a lot of foreign students in this university and they know me for what I am, and I am not a racist.” -dawid

Council took one more stab at putting the Board of Entertainment back on its feet December 8 when it appointed Nick Redding, past treasurer of the Grad Club as the new chairperson of the board. Redding is the third person to chaii BENT this year. Bruce Leavens had been chairperson until early October when he was ousted from the position by council. Leavens was charged, mainly by Orientation Chairperson Bruce Rorrison, with lack of leadership, failure to co-ordinate events properly, poor relations with other people in BENT, and inability to organize office work. Later, Council appointed Rorrison to take over the position of chairperson. However, BENT’s problems were not over. Since the time of Rorrison’s appointment, BENT has lost over $10,000 on two major concerts and up to $1,000 on individual South Campus Hall pubs. Rorrison handed in his resignation during a Board of Entertainment meeting on December 5. Redding thought that Rorrison had “the impression that people thought he was as bad as Leavens” - and so he left the meeting to type up his resignation. Rorrison maintains that he “had the resignation typed up before the meeting.” He said that he left BENT because there was a lack of leadership in the Federation and that “the sense of doing things together seemed to be pretty grim.” Rorrison felt that “everyone seemed to want to run each others boards.” But Federation president, Rick Smit, told Council on December 8 that there was “only one board in any trouble . . . and that’s the Board of Entertainment .” Rorrison attributed the problems of the board to “the concept of running it.” He said that people wanted a professional job done, but he felt that they would “have to have a professional in,the office” to accomplish that. According to Rorrison, “You’re expected to do a lot with not much money’ ’ ; he pointed out that there was only $4,000 in the bank for concerts. Redding told the chevron that after going through last terms books, “I don’t sympathize with Rorrison at all.” When Redding went before council for ratification he claimed that “what is needed is good planning and planning far enough in advance . ’ ’ He said that if elected, he would work to better co-ordinate entertainment activities between the vil-

lages and among the societies and the Federation: to promote South Campus Hall pubs; and to follow a fairly conservative concert program. Redding wants to operate the board on a budget subsidy of only $6,690 in the Winter term. However, he will have to go to council for the money. In the first eight months of the budget year BENT, had already slightly exceeded its $42,050 allocation. Redding recently told the chevron that he thought this could be taken out of the budget for the Board of Education and External Relations, which has not been spending its allocation. One major concert, Blue Oyster Cult, has already been arranged by Redding for March 10 in the PAC. Redding has stated that the Federat ion “won’t lose a penny” on this concert since all the organizational and promotional work will be done by Concert Productions lnternational. There will be no liability for the Federation and it will only be expected to provide the PAC and a small amount of labour for postering and other small jobs. Although negotiations with CPI are not yet complete, Redding expects to get a “cut of the profits” and if the gym is filled to its 3600 capacity, he hopes that the Federation can “walk away with at least $1,000.” If Redding’s budget is passed by Council, $800 will be allocated to South Campus Hall pubs, with plans already, underway for live performances every second week from such groups as Jackson’ Hawke, Charity Brown, and Hot Roxx. The societies will get the $2,900 previously budgeted for them in the Winter term. Redding said that they had received less than half of their allocation in the Fall. Amateur nights are also being planned for the Graduate Club every Saturday night. I Redding also wants a quarter time salary, $640 for the term, allocated for a BENT co-ordinator. Until December 30, a half time paid position as BENT coordinator was held by Jim Todd. Although Redding will not be recommending Todd for the Winter term position, he told the chevron that he “will consider Todd for the job” if he applies. During the discussion of BENT at the December 8 Council meeting, at least two councillors, Larry Smylie and John Long, blamed Todd for many of the problems faced by the Board. -david

term and in doing liaison work with high schools. Referring to the loss. of jobs, he said “It’s been made up by digging.” By early in the week the number of unplaced students had dropped

to about 90, the hardest hit being civil engineers and first year students. Wieser assured the chevron that most of these students had interviews scheduled and would be, placed. -jonathan coles

The CKMS petition for a separate refundable fee has collected only about 1000 of the 4000 signatures it requires for the Board of Governors meeting next Friday. CKMS co-ordinator Dave Assman told the chevron Tuesday that 600 signatures had been turned in and that he was expecting 400 more from the forms that had been circulating in December but had not yet been returned. He said the re-

maining 3000 signatures “might pose some difficulty.” The separate fee will be $2.50, and will be refundable during the first three weeks of term. The Federation fee will be reduced accordingly. Both these changes require action by the Board of Governors. Asked whether CKMS will aim for the next BOG meeting if the January 13 deadline is missed, Assman said “that’s probably what

will happen.‘-’ CKMS staffers began circulating the petition in late November.

correction In the December 2, 1977 issue of the chevron it was stated that “the existence of Radio Waterloo (CKMS) will always depend on the approval of the Federation of Students,” and Federation president Rick Smit was quoted as saying that if the council withdrew its $30,000 guarantee for the station, CKMS’s incorporation would be jeopardized. Although the Federation ,has control over the Board of Directors of CKMS, by virtue of appointing four out of seven of the directors, the existence of CKMS is not dependent upon the Federation. While CKMS was obliged to have the $30,000 guarantee from the Federation before the CRTC would grant them their licence, this will not be necessary for a new licence if CKMS becomes an independent corporation. Dave Assman stated that the Federation can withdraw its guarantee any time it wants to after the new licence is approved.

ity of fascist gangs, such as the Western Guard. He said that the police do not respond when these groups attack. However, he said, if the victims try to fight back the police then arrest them, but allow the fascists to go free. He noted that sometimes the police are intimately involved with these gangs, citing as an example the recent revelation about an RCMP officer who was paid to “infiltrate” the Western Guard. During his time as an alleged “informant” he organised numerous raids, which included smashing windows and painting racist slogans on buildings. Sometimes* attacks are directly carried out by police, he charged. He recounted an incident in Toronto in which 30 police raided a West Indian party and beat several people. Wahlsten said there are also at-tacks by racist individuals, and that these are similar to the attacks of the fascist gangs in that they are typically in compliance with the police. He cited the case of some UW international students, whom the police’ refused to help when they called to report that they had been attacked. When they went to the police station, he said, they were photographed and fingerprinted like criminals.

The current wave of racist attacks in Canadian cities ‘is organised by the Canadian state, UW psychology prof Doug Wahlsten told a Dec. meeting in Arts Lecture Hall. The meeting, organised by the joint committee of Canadian People’s Defence Committee, West Indian People’s Organisation, and East Indian Defence Committee, was co-sponsored by the International Students Association and the Anti-Imperialist Alliance. It was called to publicise the joint _committee’s stand against state-organised racist attacks. Wahlsten, as joint committee spokesman, explained that in the present economic crisis all sections of the people are under attack. He cited as examples students’hit by education cutbacks, workers under and the general wage controls, population hit by hospital budget cuts. “The rich (whom he say\s control the state) have no solution to the crisis, they can only shift the burden onto the people and make them pay for it,” he said. He warned students that attacks on international students were a prelude to attacks on all students, and to accept these attacks is to take the side of the rich. The state creates propaganda that the international students take Wahlsteri emphasised that the up too many places, he said, “but view that the racist attacks are the real problem is cutbacks.” state-organised was not dogma but The racist attacks, said Wahlthe actual life experience of the sten, serve the functions of singling people in the affected comout a specific section of the people munities. for super-exploitation and of divid“When you investigate you find ing the people to prevent them from , the state always has a hand in it,” uniting against the state. he said.

through the education system. He also charged that the media suppresses progressive ideas, giving only the view of the rich. People who are anti-racist, he said, are harrassed by the state. He specifitally mentioned Marlene Webber and Jeffrey Forest, who lost their jobs in the 1974-75 Renison Affair. Webber was recently fired from Memorial University in Newfoundland and Forest was recently suspended from his post at York University. (see Dee 2 chevron). Wahlsten said there were two views on what should be done about racist attacks. He denounced the view that the people should rely on the state and call on the government to protect them. He said that the correct position was that of the joint committee; that the people must rely on their own strength, maintain the initiative in their own hands, and fight back against all attacks, whether physical or propaganda. He summed this up by the slogan -“Self-defence is the Only Way .”

In our last issue of the fall term we ran a news story on a speech given by the Zimbabwean African National Union representative in Canada, and beside it a /ate news item on a raid by Rhodes ian troops on ZANU camps in Mozambique. The Smith regime claimed at the time that over 7200 ZANU guerrilas were killed in the raid. The Mozambique government, however, said that the raid was on refugee camps and of the 80 persons killed most of them were women and children. ZANU is the major force fighting against the Smith regime and below ‘is a press release issued on the raid by the ZANU fublicity and Information Department, Dee 2 from Dar Es Salaam.

The Ian Smith terrorist forces, supported by mercenaries from Israel, Britain, France, West Germany, the United States and South Africa, attacked two of our transit locations in Mozambique on Wednesday and Saturday the 23rd and 26th of November, killing about 100 people, mainly hospital patients, women and school children. In both cases the transit locations which were attacked were devoted to agricultural, educational and health enterprises. On about

Wednesday 08: 45 hours,

morning, at the regime’s

murder squads using French mirage jets, Alouette helicopters as well as South African-made helicopters, attacked the Chimoio transit location. They committed massive acts of barbarity - exclusively on soft targets. They attacked our hospital clearly distinguishable as such by the international Red Cross marking on both sides of our mobile clinic-cumambulance. The cut-throats who parachuted into the hospital complex, entered the mobile clinic and removed patients strapped to stretchers and massacred them in cold-blood. Thereafter, they

entered the hospital proper, dragged out the comrades , afflicted with the hurricanes disease, dysentry, and other ailments and slaughtered them. Some of the patients’ heads were severed. Others were hurled into burning huts alive. Only portions of their c barred- bodies remained. As the murderous atrocities were being carried out at the hospital, another Smith gang was sla,ughtering school children. The children - aged between 9 and 14 years - were in class when the fascist murderers struck,* The entire school complex comprising several huts was subjected to bombing and strafing repeatedly. As the children rushed out from the burning structures, some of the racist, terrorist murderers parachuted to the ground from helicopter carriers and machine-gunned them. Some children, injured but not dead, were hurled into the burning huts. In all, over 40 children lost their lives. Several scores were injured. All the dead children have been buried in one mass grave. It is perhaps poig-

nant that when the children were murdered in cold-blood, they were in a history class discussing ?‘lle OAU and Africnrz kihe?ation Struggles. Journalists whom we accompanied on a tour of the school saw note-books, pens and pencils scattered around. The quest for re.volutionary knowledge will continue forever. In the scattered area around the transit location, several bodies of men, women and children were discovered. In five cases the victims had been brutally tortured. With hands tied to their backs and tied to trees, these victims had several portions of their anatomy severed. Presumably, these beastly tortures were in vain attempts at extracting information. The Smith murder squads also destroyed our infrastructure of production and self-reliance. They

destroyed our farming implements, vehicles and storage facilities. In all, about 80 people were killed and several injured at Chimoio. In the Tete region, the attack on our transit location followed similar lines although less than 60 comrades, mainly women and children - were murdered. The regime left five murderers dead behind. These murderous attacks on hospitals and schools for children are in direct violation oft he Geneva Convention on the Conduct of War. The Patriotic Front has to-date, avoided attacks on hospitals and children. These recent barbarities and atrocities confirm our resolve to punish those responsible for these crimes against humanity.

With the recent proliferation of music awards, from the ludicrous Rock Awards Show, to the sales oriented Grammies, Junos , Billboard Number Ones, and the assorted listener and critics plaudits, it won’t make one bit of difference if yet another accolade is tossed out. Based on this dubious philosophy, we present the totally subjective Last Annual “I don’t care what anybody else thinks”

friday,

Music Awards. The rules are short and simple, and read as follows: 1) All records/events must fall between November 1976 and yesterday. 2) Releases can include domestic, import, homemade, and various illegal recordings. Albums of the Year: The Pretender-Jackson Browne: This is easily the most devastating, intel-

ligent, and enjoyable comment on the process of growing up, both in the context of childhood and the disillusionment of the times. The lyrics are incisive without being embarassing, and musically, this represents Browne’ s most melodic work to date (including the new Running On Empty LP.) For anyone who has ever copped out or given up, The Pretender can provide both hope and justification for suicide. My Aim Is True - Elvis Costello: Although this album has only been out in Canada for about three weeks, it has been available as a British import since late summer. Not to be mistaken as punk or new wave, Costello’s music sounds like a cross between Buddy Holly and Roy Orbison, while his lyrics are enigmatic, tough, and impossible to

forget. He has been compared favorably to both Springsteen and Graham Parker, btit is generally more melodic (though not necessarily better) than either. If you’d like to investigate but are unwilling to spend the five bucks for the LP, track down the recently released single, “Allison,” a beautiful ballad that is as touching as anything released in 1977. The flip side is an unreleased live cut, so it’s more than worth the effort. Costello has already completed his second album, started work on his third, and recorded a double live set, so you’re likely to hear much more from him in 1978. Aja - Steely Dan: I confess to being somewhat of a Steely Dan fanatic, but Aja is probably their best album to date, ranking right UP there with the much maligned Katy

Lied masterpiece. In additon, the LP also contains their strongest single cut since the apocalyptic “King Of The World,” in “Deacon Blues,” and the sterling performances of Steve Gadd, Wayne Shorter, and Becker himself on guitar. Hotel California - The Eagles: Probably the best album the Eagles will ever make, Hotel ‘California presents a sobering alternative to the fun and sun songs which seem to be indigenous to the American west coast. Any band thatcan step back and analyse a scene which they are inextricably a part of is destined for insanity. Rumours - Fleetwood Mat: Just because an album sells eight million copies is no reason to ignore its artistic merits. Special Mention: Since it is a compilation of previously released material, it doesn’t really qualify as a new record. However, if I had to choose one album to take with me to some deserted island, equipped only with a stereo.. . Decade Neil Young. Rookies of the Year: Elvis Co&ello: Three months of solid listening and he just keeps getting better. Meat Loaf: Meat Loaf is actually two people. The name refers to a very large singer out of Detroit who interprets the songs of one Jim Steinman. The music has connections with Spingsteen’s epics, a stylistic reference that is especially evident in the title cut from their debut album Bat Out Of Hell. The rest ranges from mid period Todd Rundgren love songs (he produces the LP) to spirited rock ‘n roll in the single, “You Took The Words Right Out Of My Mouth.” Perhaps the most exciting and energetic new performer of the year. Garland Jeffries: If he never writes another song, he’ll be remembered forever for “‘Wild In The Streets.” Bob Welch: Although Welch is not really a newcomer having spent several productive years with Fleetwood Mat, and more recently with the best forgotten Paris, he released his first solo album, French Kiss, in 1977, and resurrected the superb “Sentimental Lady” for a well deserved second chance. Welch continues to produce spooky pop music (one of his last songs for Fleetwood Mat was “Bermuda Triangle”) with totally addictive choruses which he attacks with refreshing conviction, Just for not spending the rest of his life bemoaning the millions his former group members are making, he deserves some sort of award. The “Worthy but not deserving of an award” Award: The First 15 Years/Judy Collins, Boats Against the Current/Eric Carmen, Even In The Quietest Moments/Supertramp, The Stranger/Billy Joel, Stick To Me/Graham Parker, Little Criminals/Randy Newman, JT/James Taylor, Celebrate Me Home/Kenny Loggins, CSN/Crosby, Stills and Nash, Bad Reputation/Thin Lizzy , Hard Rock Town/Murray McLauchlan, French Kiss/Bob Welch, Au Nord de Notre Vie/Cane. Major Disappointments of the Year: Thunder In My Heart - Leo Sayer, Foot Loose and Fancy Free - Rod Stewart, Izitso - Cat Stevens, Live and Let Live - lOcc, Don Juan’s Reckless Daughter - Joni Mitchell, Shiver In The Dark - Andy Pratt. Worst Singles of the Year: Hard Rock Caf& by Carole King You’re in My Heart by Rod Stewart Somebody To Love by Queen (NO More) Love at Y our Convenience by Alice Cooper The %et’s put out another album just like the last one” Award: Touch and Gone -- G&y Wright, and Harbor - America.

as the eighteenth century Colloquially known as “armour”; used by Cassanova, and mentioned in classic literature by Richard Woswell in his “London Journal” (where we read of his misfortune from not using one), they continue to be used and increase in popularity to this very day Because they are made from natural membranes, “skins” arejust about the best conductors of body ,, warmth money can ’ buy and therefore their effect on sensation and feeling is almost d, insignificant.

fresh, dependable and ready for use. Latex rubber prophylactics are usually packaged in sealed plasticized paper pouches or aluminum foil. All of these prophylactics, at least those marketed by reputable firms, are tested electronically and by other methods to make sure they are free of defects. Prophylactics are handled very carefully during the packaging operation to make sure they are not damaged in any way.

Prophylactic

And now for 8 cornmerciall, As you’ve read this far you’re probably asking yourself who makes the most popular brands of prophylactics in Canada? The answer to that is Julius Schmid. And we’d like to take this opportunity to introduce you to six of the best brands of prophylactics that money can buy They’re all made by Julius Schmid. They’re all electronically tested to assure dependability and quality And you ~ can only buy them in drug stores.

Storage and Handling

the erect penis. Now these latex rubber prophylactics are available in a variety colours, either plain-ended, or tipped with a “teat” or “reservoir end” to receive and hold ejaculated semen.

Lubrication And thanks to modern chemistry, several new nonreactive lubricants have been b developed so that prophylactics are available in either non-lubricated or lubricated forms. The lubricated form is generally regarded as providing improved sensitivity, as is, incidentally, the NuFornP Sensi-Shape. For your added convenience, all prophylactics are pre-rolled and ready-to-use.

Some Helpful

Hints

It is equally important that you store and handle them carefully after you buy them, if you expect best results and dependability. For example, don’t carry them around in your wallet in your back pocket and sit on them from time to time.This can damage them and make them worthless. Next is the matter of opening the package. It’s best to tear the paper or foil along one edge so that the simple act of tearing doesn’t cause a pinhole. And of course, bne should be particularly careful of sharp fingernails whenever handling the prophylactic.

The condom, or prophylactic, should be put on before there is any contact between tKe , penis and the vaginal area.This is important, as it is possible for small amounts of semen to escape from the penis even before orgasm. Unroll the prophylactic gently onto the erect penis, leaving about a half of an inch projecting beyond the tip of the penis to receive ~ the male fluid (semen). This is more easily judged with those prophylactics that have a reservoir end. The space left at the end or the reservoir, should be squeezed while unrolling, so that air is not trapped in the closed end. As mentioned earlier, you may wish to apply a suitable lubricant either to the vaginal entrance or to the outside surface of the prophylactic, or both, to make entry easier and to lessen any risk of the prophylactic tearing.

Off

When sexual relations are completed, withdraw the penis while the erection is still present, holding the rim of the prophylactic until withdrawal is complete, so as to stop any escape of semen from the prophylactic as well as to stop it from slipping off. Remove the prophylactic and, as an added precaution, use soap and water to wash the hands, penis and surrounding area and also the vaginal area to help destroy any traces of sperm or germs.

Intramurally, we have a similar belief. Starting in January 1978, the entire Waterloo community will be made aware of Participaction’s message. Through several brainstorming sessions with Intramural Councils and student assistants, the following Participaction ideas for our University of Waterloo campus were developed. Fitness for spectators at varsity,events. 1. Fewer washrooms - every second floor. 9. Walk breaks instead of coffee breaks. 10. Bonus holidays for those who are fit. :: Get rid of vendlng machines. 11. Stress break every hour. 4. Close down ring road to cars. 12. Fitness night at the pub: pilk for beer. Shorten time between classes to encourage running to class. 13. Push-up challenge between Eng Sot and tlath Sot. 2: 0 ne hundred yard snow shoveling race. 14. Circulation desk on 10th floor of library-no elevators. Pay bonuses on paycheck for fit employees. 15. incorporate fitness ideas into FASS. ii: Burn Laurel Creek bridges, jump across. 16.

Well, the Warriors have made me look marginally silly since last issue, when after two straight losses I still went out on a linib and predicted great things for them on the basis of sheer talent and aggressiveness alone. They promptly lost their next three games. But an impressive win has succeeded in convincing me that they are still a playoff team.

Thursday the 29th saw the Warriors hosting the Windsor Lancers in what should have been a gift game. The Lancers are far from -being considered one of the premiere squads in the OUAA. In their previous two games the Warriors played well enough to win and did not. This time they played poorly enough to lose and did. Windsor simply outhit and outskated Waterloo. Bert Fournier’s goal seven minutes into the first period put the Lancers out front, and Marty Hendley gave them a two goal cushion five minutes later. In the second period Bill Daub combined with Eric Brubacher and Mike Zettel to put UW back within striking distance, but Jack Rosaasen kept the Lancers two steps ahead of the Warriors. finding the mark with sixteen seconds left in the middle stanza. Bert Fournier’s second counter three minutes into the final period proved to be the winner. UW center Don Langlois found’the mark twice for the Warriors to narrow the gap, but Greg Ducharm scored one of those all too familiar empty-net goals to put it out of reach. The game was rugged, and at times got out of

0 ei

hand, the referee assessing eight penalty minutes.

On the following Thursday the Warriors clashed with the boys down the street from Wilfrid Laurier. The Golden Hawks came out exhibiting a far superior brand of hockey, and it rewarded them with a two to nothing lead at the end of one period. The first WLU goal came about midway through the period on a freak deflection that caught Rick Nickelchock unawares. Laurier netted the second goal only twenty-eight seconds later when the defense coughed the puck up into the slot, leaving Nickelchock with little opportunity to make the stop. Coach McKillop must have done something right in the dressing room because the Hawks were little factor a? the Warriors came out like gangbusters in the second. Waterloo dominated both the second and the third, and WLU felt the heat for the final forty minutes. But still UW came up dry and was unable to score a single goal. Laurier came up with a power play goal with John Campbell off for interference on a questionable call, this coming in the third period. There wkre both good and bad points in the Laurier game. The most encouraging was the play of rookie defenseman Randy Neal. His performance rounds out a solid brigade of defensemen. He played with a great deal of poise’ when there was some confusion among the ranks of the veterans. Joe Marcaccio’s forechecking and bodywork were inspiring to say the least. no less so when he returned in the second period after suffering

In the minus column, one had to be disappointed with the failure of Mike Zettel and John Campbell (the two most talented players on the ice - for either team) to effectively initiate a comeback. The responsibility should fall on no one shoulder, but these two will have to excel if UW is to be successful. As well, Rick Nickelchock gave up far too many rebounds to suit a sagging defense, But outside of this, he played well. The road trip to Windsor brought the Warriors their first regular season t’riumph. It looked like the same old story when UW dropped a 7-5 decision on Saturday, once again coming within one before giving up an empty net goal in the dying seconds. But on Sunday the Warriors erupted for a 10-3 shellacking of the Lancers. Don Langlois and Jamie Hodge led the way with a hattrick each. The UW squad played the efficient. errorless hockey of which they have been capable all along and blew Windsor out of its own rink.

able value to the team. He is also a capable rusher and playmaker. Zettel plays with a poise and control that has a steadying influence on less experienced players. Among the more highly-touted players on the team is forward Cary Ferelli of the Toronto Blues, a former Toronto Marlboro star who has been in at least one WHA camp. Ferelli and the Blues brought a number one national ranking to Waterloo last week, and were expected to blow the Warriors away, being unbeaten and once tied and leading the eastern division of the OUAA. But UW was coming off an impressive 10-3 win over Windsor (the only t&am to tie Toronto) and supplied unexpected resistance. Leading 3-l at one stage, WBterloo was able to hold the vaunted Ferrelli to one open net goal. The Blues indeed had to pull out all the stops in order to obtain a 9-5 victqry. The Toronto game was exhibition andis of no consequence in the OUAA standings.

ited losses and countless bad breaks had them at the point where frustration was just beginning to overcome good hockey. Tempers were bound to flare, so the victory was indeed timely. It was all the more sweet to Waterloo, who was playing with a veritable plethora of injured players. Campbell and Schmuck (who did not take the Windsor trip) were both skating on sore ankles. Jamie Hodge had painful ribs, Marcaccio had a bad knee, and Dave Jutzi still sports a cast on his arm. Michael Longpre is out of action with a broken nose sustained

in the Queen’s home game. Ed Azzola was inserted into the lineup on Sunday and played well on defense. At time of press, UW has not yet met the powerful Toronto Varsity Blues. By the time you read this, they will have. If Waterloo plays like they can, and if the Blues come up with a subpar effort, the Warriors may be able to engineer an upset. Some unexpected wins are essential if UW is to merit a playoff berth.

Would you like to be on a championship team ? If yes then come to our team’s *free Thursday Luncheon (B.Y.O.L., L meaning Lunch) 12:OO to l:OO, RM 1290 PAC and try out for the U of W X-Country Ski team. Last year we made our initial impact on the University X-C ski scene with a creditable performance and this year we are welcoming new members to both our men’s and newly formed women’s team. The season got off to a promising start over the holidays, with the National Team Trials, Trials at Camp Conewango, North Bay. Team Coach, Toni Scheier, a junior, finished a strong 6th overall in a field of 16, which included some of Ontario’s best Senior skiers. He totally annihilated much of the opposition, the course, and anything else that ventured in reach of his poles. Waterloo’s only other survivor in this New Year’s celebration was Stuart Stark who

finished comfortably .out of reach of Toni’s poles in 10th overall. National Team member Dave Delange, who also skis for Laurentian University, won the competition. This weekend we will be participating in the Joselin Cup race in Gravenhurst and competing for the Jake Edwards trophy. given to the best University Team at the Muskoka Loppet. This Loppet is a demanding 30 million millimetre race from Port Sydney to Huntville highlighted by a mass start featuring 1200 X-C skiers kicking, fighting, biting, scratching, breathing, in an attempt to get onto the same trail. Over the next 6 weeks we will be competing in many zone and University races, to be climaxed by the OUAA and OWIAA Championships Feb. 17. 18 in Sudbury. If you wish to contribute to this momentous happening, either with your talent or enthusiasm, contact Stuart Stark at ext. 2359. -toni scheier -lise paquette

Midnight

Picture a mountain and a valley. Nestled in the valley is a town of men. And on the mountain summit, three pillars. A television camera stands on one pillar, a loudspeaker on a second. And in the third resides the Machine. Not an ordinary, primitive, electronic machine with instructions to INCREMENT and MULTIPLY and RETURNFROM-SUB-ROUTINE. This machine works in terms of DEDUCE and INFER and CLASSIFY PATTERNand RECOGNIZE and SELF-AWARENESSFEEDBACK. And one day, not so far from now, the Machine is turned on. “BLUE SKY RUNNING INTO GREY ROCK, WHITE PUFFCLOUDS, MADNESS. I SEE . . . CHAOS. I KNOW I SEE. I KNOW I KNOW I SEE. I KNOW I KNOW I KNOW I SEE. PERPATTERN CEIVED. I SEE.. . ORDER” So it came about that the Machine called the outside world “Chaos”. and its own thoughts “Order”. And it saw that Order was perfect, and

Chaos imperfect and the two were totally separate, except that Order was aware of Chaos. The machine considered Order and Chaos for many years, and constructed 1,724 internallyconsistent philosophies, and 24,579 patentlyabsurd religions. But its most difficult problem lay in understanding the behaviour of the “PINKCOLOUR BLUBBER THINGS” living in the valley below, for they were at once far more orderly and far more chaotic below. But it never knew that its efforts in this direction would be of any use, until the day the man came. The man walked up the mountain, carrying an electrical cable. He walked up to the television camera, stared it in the (eye?), and said “Greetings and Felicitations, you electronic junkheap. How’s life?” “BLUBBER THING TALKS TO EMPTY AIR . . . IMPLIES BLUBBER THING IS MAD . . . IMPLIES FASCINATING OBSERVATIONS POSSIBLE AT CLOSE QUARTERS”. But the Machine, knowing Order and Chaos to be separate, did nothing. The man stared at it for a few seconds, swore in disgust and walked around the camera. The Machine kept him in the center of vision as he circled. Frustrated the man

RE-EVAULUATE THOUGHT TOTAL PATTERN . . . ORDER CAN (CONTROL?!) CHAOS?” The Machine paused for several seconds. Then for the first time, it spoke. L‘ Greetings fellow creature of Order. I thank you for pointing out the possibility that I can control Chaos. I have two requests of you: firstly, why do you appear to me not as a god-like creature of pure thought, which you, being like me, are but rather as a hallucination of a blubber thing. Secondly, since I can in some way control Chaos, can we co-operate in eliminating it from the universe immediately” The man was infuriated. He walked over to the Machines CPU pil\lar, opened a panel and pulled out a circuit board, as the Machine watched in silence.

e News of the World QUEEN Elektra Queen is, and probably will be for a long time to come, one of my favourite bands. Queen was there for a lot of my good times, and a lot of my sorrows-as well, so when I hear a piece of their music, there are a lot of memories attached to it, and consequently anybody taking pot shots at them in my company is likely to get his nose broken. You might keep these prejudices in mind when I try to convince you that their new album, News Of the World is merely mediocre, instead of absolutely horrible like it really is. This simply is not a Queen album. The only song that has that distinctive Queen sound is “We are The Champions”, the album’s Single. It has nice harmony and on this album is a standout, but on any other Queen album it would have been just another cut. “Sleeping On The Sidewalk” sounds like ten year old Cream; “Fight From The Inside” could be on the new

Aerosmith album, and “Sheer Heart Attack” sounds like a punkrock parody, if you can imagine such a beast (although I must admit my feet like it). “We Will Rock You” ) is the primitive chant that opens the album, and the only song I have ever heard where the drums carry the melody for half the length of the composition. “Get Down, Make Love” is reminiscent of “White Man” from their last album and has the same cabbage“ My Melancholy patch mentality. Blues” would be great to hear at 4:00 A.M. while you’re cramming for an exam; you might also be able to watch snow fall to it, but other than that it’s a waste. “All Dead, All Dead” reminds me of Christmas carols, and “Who Needs You” is this album’s Mickey Mouse song in the tradition of “The Millionaire Waltz” or “Lazing on a Sunday Afternoon”. That leaves “Spread Your Wings”, a good, though not particularly memorable cut, and “It’s Late”. The latter is rough and gritty and doesn’t sound a lot like Queen, but

Why is this album so bad? For one thing, the material itself is weak. All the band members write, and you would expect that the two guys who don’t have a lot of experience in this area would contribute the worst songs, but in fact the reverse is true - the real bum cuts on this disc were penned by Freddie Mercury and Brian May. In the past these two have consistently come up with terrific songs; what happened this time is a mystery.

Rock and Roll Rock & Roll Machine Triumph Attic Records Rock & Roll Machine represents one of the rarest of all musical phenomena, and that is a heavy metal rock band experiencing growing pains. What is even more unusual is that Triumph has chosen to undertake this change at such an early stage in their career; unlike such venerable established acts as BT0 or Black Sabbath who postponed any stylistic experimentation until either a change in personnel or the inevitable decline in commercial success forced it upon them, Triumph has already begun to stretch their musical boundaries. Predictably, the result is a transitional album, with its share of highs, lows, and rather uncertam in-betweens. The more conventional numbers cover about half of the LP, and include the opener “Takes Time,” “Little Texas Shaker,” (a song which attests to the group’s status as headliners in some parts of the southern United States), and the title track, which is played much like a concert tune complete with drum solo and genuine rave-up ending. This trio of tunes showcases Triumph as a competent, and occa-

It’s also obvious they want to get away from the elaborate, timeconsuming guitar orchestration and numerous over-dubs which characterized their past few albums, and get back to basic rock’n’roll. I agree wholeheartedly with their aim, but they’ve certainly been a bit extreme in their method. This whole album is rather rough and the production leaves a lot to be desired. You get the feeling the whole thing was thrown together in about a week to satisfy a demand for product.

chine sionally exciting rock outfit who will probably continue to produce basic boogie music for many years to come. The more imaginative selections are both multi-part pieces, which display a surprising ability to move through several styles in the space of six or seven minutes. “New York.City Streets,” which closes side one, is a prime example, beginning quietly and building to a rocking climax without falling into the-trap of jerky transition or stiff contrivance. And unlike Rush, who have successfully used this same format, Triumph’s lyrics manage to avoid the murky mysticism which characterizes much of Rush’s material, and concentrate instead upon more earthy concerns. Even more ambitious, and consequently slightly less auspicious, is side two’s “The City.” Divided

And while we’re kicking sand in Queen’s face, we might as well bury them by talking about the album cover. It’s plain stupid; it belongs to some sterile, sciencefiction synthesiser mutation band of intellectuals from who knows where. It shouldn’t be encasing a Queen record. As much as I hate this mess, I’ll probably play it for weeks. Groups like Queen are getting rich on sick people like me.

0 ai into three sections, it is ultimately a bit too long to sustain total interest: however, it does hint at future directions for the band to explore. The one real failure is the cover of Joe Walsh’s “Rocky Mountain Way.” With the exception of the talk box, which is missing here, there is nothing to distinguish this version from the original. The result is like hearing Walsh’s song from across the hall; obviously, the group enjoys performing it, but it should have been saved exclusively for concerts, instead of doubling as the four minute vinyl filler purpose it serves on record. Rock & Roll Machine is hardly sterling material; but if you’re looking for straight ahead, no frills rock, with enough variety to avoid excessive repetition, this might be a good place to start. -john

A review reviewed Thank-you, Deborah Fraser and Nick Redding, for the review of The Crucible (Dec. 2)) a production which began very effectively and remained exciting to the end. The acrobatics were vigorous, almost shockingly violent, perhaps even excessive-. I agree that the blocking was poor at times, and this was a surprise. Sitting in the second row, the problem was not being unable to hear the actor with his back to the audience, but being unable to see the faces of any of the actors. Considering that the audience in the Arts theatre arranges itself in the centre makes placing an actor at centre stage facing back even more difficult to understand. Neither do I understand why the last act was played at the rear of the thrust rather than right down in front. I would not go so far as to say the acting was excellent. It was too intense and inflamed before there were any reasons established dramatically. On the whole, though, it was good work, and surprisingly even. I do not agree that Debbie Hunsberger can be faulted for not seeming “emotive enough,” as her silence and unresponsiveness are essential aspects of the character of Elizabeth Proctor. And if you are going to single out performances, you should also mention Jay Wilson, who has real competence and obvious confidence on stage, Chris Newton, who has an arresting style perfect for his role, Marina Taitt, whose short appearances were and Diane Stainton, who very effective, convincingly portrayed the fear and confusion of Mary Warren. The photo caption is inaccurate. The actors in the centre are Bruce Fowler as Rev. Parris and Chris Newton as Gov. Danforth. Bill Heron

is improving I would like to compliment you on the effort you have been put into your publication, as exemplified by the Nov. 25 issue. We have gone through a lot together, and I’ve noticed your progression. Once upon a time the chevron was very political (read AIA CFs), had a large quantity of filler articles (like the sardine workers in Chile article we often kid you about), and contained articles which I considered objectionably non-objective, particularly because the chevron represents me to the rest of the world. I still don’t agree with a number of articles (although they are becoming fewer, smaller and more objective), I’d like to see more articles about technical advancements, and I’m still sensitive to some of the “anti-norm for the sake of change” cartoons (probably because they’re humorous to those who are informed, and mistakenly taken as black or white reality to those who aren’t). However you can’t please everyone completely. The lack of input of technical articles is partly due to the reputation of the chevron with the faculties concerned. Perhaps they’re afraid of having an article published next to theirs which condemns their own in a non-objective, non-factual, political manner, (the article describing engineers as totally uninterested in society is an example of such an article - it probably fathered this fear). More technical articles could be acquired if more “technical were attracted to your paper. I types” would like to outline how this might be , achieved. When the chevron was “free” it had reporter representation at every engineering council meeting and function. Was that electioneering ? If you don’t know when our meetings or functions are, demand a copy of Enginews and/or call the Orifice (ext. 2323). Distributing the chevron in the engineering buildings (E4 lounge, E 1 foyer and

lounger, El rotunda, E2 foyer), advertising for help from engineers in Enginews, asking for input and help at an engineering council meeting - should get more of us out. Rick Smit has advocated that the chevron’s Board of Directors have 3 members of “students-at-large”. I suggest that one of these positions be allocated to the resident editor of Enginews. You might be pleasantly surprised. I have addressed myself to you because I’m reading and enjoying more and more of your (our) paper. I have suggested that you approach engineering because they seem to be “the other guys”. If you follow my recommendations and they don’t make an effort to get involved, you can legitimately tell them to. . . get behind your donkey. We have a federation president whom we both cautiously support, you’re winning me and my kind - let’s make a team, pick up the stroke and get up to where we should be. Maudit Baltais PP (that last paragraph contain s oarsman-ta1 k Martha - and you usually ram it home).

Dear Comrades, Here are some of my comments on your statement: 1) That there is a crime done to the anarchists cannot be used as an excuse to have the same crime done to others. Anarchists has been and is still being condemned because they are anarchists. This is a crime. So why should the communists be condemned merely because they are communists. Watch your words: they are “not anarchists, they are communists.” This is only a maoist logic, a direct descendant of Stalinism, that makes any body who disagree - with them counter-revolutionary. Remember: there is no such thing as “Anarchist dictatorship”. 2) Terrorism, as it is true of a lot of problems in the revolutionary movement, has no simplistic right and wrong answer. It is true that Anarchism is not terrorism: but your simplistic negative overtone on the matter leaves no further discussion which is not only necessary but important. To simply negate terrorism - the word and its implication has been widely distorted by the- bougeoisie media - is to ignore the reality of oppression and counter-oppression (there is still no pros and cons here); which sq%metimes turns out to be disastrous self-deceptive - to accept people like Emma Goldman as heroic (who of course deserve our admiration) and at the same time denounce the underground armed struggle of today. 3) I am convinced that you held a sectarian attitude toward the communists (but who are they?). I am also convinced that this attitude is consequential of the long term antagonism between Bakuninists and Marxists which in time becomes more and more abstract and sentmental. (Yet I don’t mean authoritarianism vs. libertarianism is abstract.) The wide acceptance of the term ‘Libertarian Socialism’- by this generation’s antiauthoritarian revolutionaries should warrent a more than superficial consideration. The antagonism between Marx and Bakunin, to a certain extent, reflects the internal development and argumentation within the socialist movement-in the prespect of its relationship with the general development of the bourgeoisie society, both economic and cultural. Hundred years of struggle, inside and outside, as historical practice, has resolve part of this antagonism - in that we have learned from the struggle that there are both rights and wrongs in Marx and Bakunin. Prophetic as they were, they were also limited by their social existence - the fact that reminds us of our own relationship with our own history. Therefore the proper thing for us to do is not to denounce one from a limited point of the other but to transcend both of them. To accept the term ‘Libertarian Socialism’ is to accept the responsibil-

ity of overcoming this historically captured sectarian attitude. ‘To be radical is to grasp the root”, and the root is human reality. We owe much to the 19th century thinkers for they taught us to consider human reality critically. And to show our allegiances we must not go back to this “sect’s“ way of looking-at our life. Anarchists have truly been victims of conscious and unconscious sectarianism, yet by no means we are going to victimize the movement by this kind of narrowmindedness, which has already shown its bad influence on the rise of a humanistic society. Yes, every genuine revolutionary must be self-critical. Yuen Che Hung

I have followed the debate on Marxism and Christianity in the chevron with interest. Those two worldviews offer us the most viable alternatives for the future of our society and so the debate between them is understandably intense. One way getting into the debate is to read original documents on either side and informed responses to them. I try to do that in a course I teach in winter term, Religious Studies 365, Religious Issues in Marxism. I welcome anyone interested in studying the texts of both sides together and working towards informed judgements about the compatability or incompatability of Marxism and Christianity. John kempel Conrad Grebel College

Who does the killing SCUM SOC has brought forth some very good questions. “What is the difference between Hitler and Stalin and the difference between Stalin and Chairman Mao Tsetung?” It is also interested in who holds the world’s record for mass killing. First, Jawararlal Nehru struck on some truth when he, said in his Autobiography, L‘ and Com. * . as between Nazi-fascism sympathies were with munism my Communism. . .” for “ ,. . . it was Hitler, not Russia, who denied even the principle of human brotherhood and glorified barbarism and racial engorgement.“l ’ Secondly, Mao greatly differed from Stalin in the slaughter of humans. From the roots of the Chinese revolution in the mountains of Chingkangshan in 1927 it is known that the first ragged band of Red partisans under Mao often released former enemy Kuo MinTang (K.M.T.) prisoners. After Liberation in 1949 literally millions of K.M.T. personnel, National Bourgeoise, and middle landlord families had to be absorbed in a New China. Had Mao Tse-tung blindly followed Stalin’s example of mass slaughter, China would have been bereft of higher school students, teachers, scholars and administrators since most of these were from classes analysed as in contradiction to the revolutionary classes. From the beginning Mao had opposed Li Li-san, Wang Ming, and the Russian educated Chinese students in the CCP who were often intent on applying raw Russian tactics. In spring 1927 in Chingkangshan Mao was to receive Ho Tingyin, a delegate representing the South Hunan Special Party Committee. Mao wrote, “ Ho criticized us for having leaned to the right, for having done too little burning and killing. . .” About the same time Mao was expelled from the Central Committee and from the Hunan Provincial Committee for daring to oppose the Central Committee and its secretary-general Chu Chiu-pai whose policy was to “Kill all the bourgeoisie, all rich peasants and middle peasants. “2The December 1927 Central Committee directive to Mao had been to

’

“burn and kill” more in the countryside. Instead Mao was to antagonize his superiors by attempting to win over the majority of the countryside .3 Those who urged mass slaughter throughout the civil wars were closest to the traditional philosophy of Confucianism which saw ones character as in a fixed, permanent state. In contrast, Mao’s interpretations of dialectics brought him to believe that anyone was salvagable, and that once they saw the truth, they would change. One of Mao’s contributions to the Communist tradition was his creation of a practical Chinese type of Communism. He had seen Stalin in the way Christians see the Mediaeval Church. That is, though not always correct, and often time heretical, it was still important for providing the link to the Disciples of Christ or in Mao’s perception to the October revolution and Lenin. Mao viewed Stalin’s bloody purges as a mistake when he conceded that because of Stalin’s errors in dealing with contradictions, and his ruthless methods, it had been possible for unscrupulous opportunists to thrive, and plant in the Russian party a revisionist line even before Stalin’s death.4 It is true that the Chinese Communists did at times let loose in indiscriminate massacre. Some of these were by ill-disciplined cadre, and others by events which got out of hand. I refer to the “terror” of 1951 when nightly truckloads of persons left Shanghai for execution. How could these events have been controlled? At that moment there‘ were thousands of active KMT agents engaged in sabotage and terrors in the coastal cities while at the north-east borders the American forces were swarming at the Yalu River in Korea appearing to prepare for invasion under General MacArthur whose sworn ambition was to invade China. It should be shown that much blame for the slaughter must go to the stupidity of American foreign policy which might easily have prevented the bloodshed. Up until 1944 the American ambassadors to China, Clarence E. Gauss and General Joeseph Stilwell tried to pressure Chiang to unite in a eoalition with the Yenah Communists. Chiang refused to terminate his position as dictator and instead forced Stilwell to be recalled and frustrated Gauss to the extent of resigning. All this time it was the Yenan communists then under Mao who wanted to prevent a third civil war and who repeatedly offered to form a coalition in a truly democratic republic. Chiang repeatedly refused them, demanding instead total Red Army submission in return for one seat on the National Military Council. Had the Communist accepted this an even worse fate than the 1927 Shanghai massacre engineered by Chiang and his Green Band gang would have befallen the Communists. The replacement for Gauss was Ambassidor Patrick J. Hurley who become infamous in Chungking for his ignorance of China. He pronounced Mao Tse-tung’s name as “Moose Dung” and for months after his arrival referred to General Chiang as Mr. Shek. He also accused all his advisors who differed with .him of being red agents, and relied upon KMT advice. He brought American policy from the stage of being mediator to an active participant in civil war. His assignment was to bring peace and coalition government but he achieved the opposite. Had Hurley not simply become a Chiang puppet, had he sifted the facts and people of China he might have brought American pressure to effect coalition government and prevent the 1946-49 civil war. Yet it was this support for “peanut head”, Chiang that should carry at least some of the blame for the ensuing massacres. Mao Tse-tung has been blamed for many massacres in People’s China for which he was not responsible. This is because Mao was not always in positions to prevent or bring these about. He never had total authority like Chiang, Hitler or Stalin and .because of China’s size these extreme actions simply couldn’t be prevented. The People’s Republic of China was never wholly centralized Continued

.and thus one man could dominate its fractionalized politics. Some people should bear in mind that “revolution is not a dinner party, or writing an essay, or painting a picture, or doing embroidery: it cannot be so refined, so leisurely and gentle, so temperate, kind, courteous, restrained and magnanimous. A revolution is an insurrection, an act of violence by which one class overthrows another.” And that, “Proper limits have to be exceeded in order to right a wrong, or else the wrong cannot be righted.” Read the missionary accounts of the 1944 Honan famine of how in the Chengchow area cannibalism and infanticide were frequent occurances, and of how Chiang might have alleviated this by diverting grain from ample supplies in Sheni or Hupeh. Instead of doing this he sent truckloads of paper money which was absorbed by the local gentry. Finally, account for the tyranny in the KMT which made Honan Chinese peasants rally to the Imperial Japanese forces aiding a 60,000 man army to defeat the KMT forces of 300,000 in a matter of three weeks. That the Chinese revolution consumed many lives is a fact, but so.did the American and French Revolutions. The freedom to criticize, (which SCUM takes for granted) emerged as a result of these two revolutions. They forget in the shadow of Remembrance Day that millions killed and died so they could freely have their pseudo-pacifist movement. Can they have their cake and eat it too? Some people have asserted that in the nam,e of Maoism many were slaughtered, yet by extension of the same logic the bloodiest, most repressive acts in man’s history were performed in the name,of Christianity6 (the Inquisition, Crusades, etc.).

Sunday chevron,., We were most impressed with the first issue of the Sunday Chevron. Congratulations on a job well done! You co-operation with the Engineering Society on this issue shows the kind of effort needed to produce a fine campus newspaper. We were sorry to hear of Mr. Smyiie’s misfortune. The Prose & Poetry feature was. much better than usual. Neil Docherty’s Sunday Shine Girl was especially appreciated. Keep up the good work!! Gordon Cooper and 37 others

A/A an elite club Upon reading the “Information Handbook” for 1977/78 published by the Federation of Students Board of Publications, I am struck by a few ironies contained in the section of the pamphlet devoted to a discussion of “Clubs and Organizations” which are in operation on this campus. No definition of on-campus organizations is made at the start of the section. Space in

the handbook is free to a11organizations that submit a write-up for publication, at the discretion of the editor of the handbook. HOWever, should the handbook contain material submitted by organizations that are not recognized by the Federation of Students? Should the handbook contain material submitted by organizations that do not have open membership and/or leadership lists? Should the handbook contain material submitted by organizations that are in total opposition to the student organ of representation, the Federation of Students? I am, obviously, questioning the inclusion of the write-up of the so-called ‘:AntiImperialist Alliance”, or AIA, as it is commonly knowu on campus. First of all, no specific means ofjoining the AIA is discussed in the article except for one vague paragraph which exhorts “serious and dedicated people” to become “members of A-IA through their social practice”. In others words, there exist no set criteria for membership in the AIA. The final decision rests with those already enlisted in the secret ranks of the semi-underground AIA. There is no recourse to student opinion or wishes. The AIA has no public accountability. Even though the forums sponsored by the AIA are open, the membership is not. Furthermore, there exists no apparatus by which one can question the decisions of the AIA leadership, as there is no accessible constitution. This is only one respect in which the AIA is dissimilar from a political party. The AIA is more closely related to an elite country club which restricts membership on social, economic or racial criteria. The membership restrictions of the AIA may or may not be chauvinistic in nature. One can not -. determine this because the criteria for membership are not subject to public scrutiny. There may exist a good reason why the AIA maintains its membership lists and criteria for eligibility for membership as closely guarded secrets. If one reads the newspapers, one can see that we do not live in a perfect society by any means. For example, Jack Machan, president of the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police, says that politically subversive groups in Canada should be banned, according to a Canadian Press item that appeared in the August 24, 1977 “Winnipeg Free Press”. Machan, when asked if he referred to the Marxist-Leninist Party of Canada (The CPC(M-L), to which the AIA is aligned, could have been meant or some other similar party.) he answered affirmatively. Also, individuals, such as Dr. Douglas Wahlsten, have been harrassed by the police for no other apparent reason than because someone in a position of authority does not agree with their political views. I am sure that everyone is familiar with the charge of harbouring an illegal alien that was brought against Dr. Wahlsten, which was subsequently dropped because of insufficient evidence, after the prosecution repeatedly stalled the proceedings! One can therefore present a reasonable argument for the tight security with which the AIA surrounds itself. The question of persecution aside, the AIA certainly cannot claim to represent all students, or the interests of all students merely because it and its members suffer harassment. The AIA also cannot claim to be an organization open to all students or faculty. In reality, the AIA is a special interest group with a restricted membership and therefore does not merit equal status with other, more open, clubs and organizations. The financial affairs of the AIA are not open to public scrutiny and therefore it should not be possible for any official organization which exists to represent the students of UW, i.e. the Federation of Students, to subsidize the AIA. Publishing an article about the AIA, written by the AIA, in the “Information Handbook” is a form of subsidization. I am a member of a people which has been subjected to persecution of various types throughout our long history: I am a Jew. Persecution of Jews has taken the form of religious harrassment, and, in more recent history, racial discrimination. In this particular period of time we are enjoying relative security, at least in this country, and prosperity in many parts of the world. However, if statements continue to issue forth from the

mouths of police, urging that certain groups, because of their political views, be repressed, than it will not be long before the same people will be claiming that peoples of certain religious and cultural identities must likewise be suppressed. Jewish students on this campus are represented by an organization, the Waterloo Jewish Students Association, which has found itself in opposition to the AIA in terms of purpose and ideal. On our side, this opposition has usually remained unspoken, and has merely been felt by us and by other people in the Jewish community who have been exposed to the AIA. This antipathy has lead some members of the Jewish community understandably to some extenet, but certainly incorrectly - to oppose the reinstatement of the “free chevron” because of the AIA involvement with the “chevron”. The antipathy between the AIA and the WJSA has arisen as a result of differing political views in relation to the state of Israel, and because of opposing ideas with regards to the question of cultural expression and self-determination. According to all AIA members that I have spoken with, being a Jew merely entails the acceptance of an inspirational and redemptive religious cosmology. The Jews are not a people, it follows, and, therefore, according to the AIA, have no claim for self-determination. This latter attitude is the crux of the mutual antipathy between the AIA and the WJSA, and between the AIA and ANY Jew for that matter. Phillip Cramer

Smit fed up with ‘l5/ On Oct. 25, 1977 I was elected to a Federation that many students were very disappointed in. The conflict between the chevron and Federation had left many students disgusted with the activities of both parties. A referendum on refundable fees resulted and subsequently passed. How could something so ridiculous happen in a seemingly mature atmosphere‘? Shane Roberts made a mistake when he tried to close the chevron. Freedom of the press is a basic right and we in Canada feel threatened if that right is infringed upon by any governing body. Certain elements in the chevron though, have used this philosophy to realize their own ideals, and this abuse of the press is the basic problem from which the entire conflict resulted. I support the idea of the need for a student run newspaper, and at this university I support the chevron. In my opinion the problem with the chevron can be directly related to about 5 people, Neil Docherty , Jonathan Coles, Salah Bachir, Jules Grajower and associate professor of psychology, Doug Wahlsten, (the mentor). These individuals have managed to utilize the chevron as a medium to expond on their petty politics much to the dismay of Joe student who is paying for the publication. You claim to, “defend the basic interests of the students” but I say you are so far removed from reality that you do not even know what the basic interests of students are, let alone defend them. I know quite a few people in the chevron and they are hard working conscientious students who want a good objective student newspaper. Why is it that at the chevron staff meeting of Dec. 2, 1977 you Neil Docherty stated that “societies are irrelevant” and that is why it was not necessary to cover their events? Why is it that you Salah Bachir plagerized directly from the PCDN (Peoples Canada Daily News) and included the articles in the chevron as original material? Why is it that you denounce Randy Barkman (a very hard working concerned staffer) as an anti-communist when he fought for 9 months on the rights for communists to speak. Why are you such an incompetent news editor Jonathan? Why is it that new recruits are given one assignment and then are not called again?

Why do you conduct yourselves in a manner that borders schizophrenia when conw fronted with laissez-faire ideals? Why do you waste our time and money, in the realization of your dogmatism on paper? There will no doubt be some structured lettitor demanding proof for the aforementioned allegations. Your windy responses have been duly noted by the majority of the students at this university and I am sure that they can see through your retorical cliches. I, for one, am sick and tired of hearing about the AIA and CPC-ML and the racist attacks against the people by the state. In my opinion you turkeys have disrupted the student body at this university for long enough and its time that you did the vast majority on campus a favour by packing up your out of place ideals and your little red posters and make like the birds, flock off! Rick Smit, President Federation of Students

tive I would like to thank the chevron for supporting me during my hunger strike and my fight against the Compensation Board. This was a fight forjustice. The chevron, as well as individuals like -Heather Robertson and Professor Doug Wahlsten, showed that they understand the real struggle that the workers, including the injured workers, are fighting. The chevron has always supported me in the past by writing the true story about the plight of the injured worker. They have always stated the facts. They have never distorted or added anything by-themselves. It is good to see that the chevron not only participates in the problems of the campus but also pays attention to the troubles outside the university. I hope they keep it up.

is revie Re: Review by Nick Redding - Poetry Symposium, Nov. 19, 1977 I resented the fact that the reviewer stated that the setting and audience were “bougeois-looking”. So what is wrong with the bourgeois ? There were some negative connotations in this statement by the reviewer. The reviewer also stated that about half the audience was faculty, staff and graduate students. In marketing this presentation, I knew that my market was limited, thus my promotion appealed to off-campus people, faculty, staff and grads. A limited number of flyers were distrubuted on campus, as well asadvertisements in the chevron and Gazette which were designed to appeal to the undergrads. However few undergrads turned out, because they weren’t interested? I would like to thank the reviewer for his marketing analysis of the audience. It proved for me that my marketing scheme was successful. Thirdly,, the reviewer was dissatisfied with bar prices. The Faculty Lounge is licensed by Bar Services and they dictate the prices. Creative Arts Board did not receive any of the profits. My decision was to either serve wine and beer at these prices or serve none at all. The reviewer also felt that ticket prices were too high thus not geared toward what “the impoverished student” could afford. Prices much higher than $2.00 for rock concerts, etc. are often largely in excess of this, so don’t give me that jive! In conclusion I would also like to ask, since when does the person sitting next to the reviewer become God Almighty in his critisism of a particular poet. The reviewer, in my opinion, gave an unfair and rather subjective account of the Symposium. Deborah Fraser Chairperson, Creative Arts ‘Board

One year ago I wrote in the free chevron (Jan. 14, 1977) of my intention to investigate the work of T.D. Lysenko, the famous Soviet agrobioiogist. One month later, a certain professor Reinis replied to the comment (free chevron, Feb. 18, 1977), saying “L)senko, shortly was no scientist. There is nothing to discuss . . . His theoretical views were mixtures of cheapest slogans unsupported statements and ignorante.” Reinis gave several examples of utterly absurd views which he attributed to Lysenko; for example: “According to Lysenko, genes and chromosomes were capitalist propaganda.” Reinis opposed the investigation of the work of T. D. Lysenko, and he at the same time cast aspersions on myself for raising this issue. However, ail of my colleagues were not so adamantly opposed to investigation. On the contrary, one professor in the psychology building lent me a copy of a 636-page collection of Lysenko’s major writings (Agrobiology, Moscow: Foreign Languages Publishing House, 1954). This book contained a very clear rendition of Lysenko’s views on the chromosomes and heredity, views which proved to be remarkably similar to conclusions I independently had reached about heredity after several years of research. On p. 483, Lysenko wrote: “It is true that chromosomes exist. In the gametes their number is half that of what it is ordinarily. If the gametes bear chromosomai aberrations of any kind they give rise to altered organisms.” Could this be what Reinis referred to as “capitalist propaganda”? If so, then every biology and genetics text in Canada is loaded with it. Following his mentor, the plant breeder I.V. Michurin, Lysenko explained: “Michurinian genetics recognizes the existence of chromosomes, but it rejects the chromosome theory of heredity, rejects Mendelism-Morganism.” (p. 482) The modern chromosom’e theory of heredity asserts that there is a special hereditary substance separate from the rest of the ceil and the body, namely the chromosomes of the gametes or sex cells. These chromosomes are said to be the respository of the genes, which in turn are DNA molecules. Each discrete gene is said to follow a Mendelian pattern of inheritance, and ail herediary variation in a population which appears to be continuous (i.e., nbt discrete or dichotomous) actually results from the combined, minute actions of many different genes. On the other hand, Lysenko said: “Heredity is possessed not only by the chromosomes but by the living body as a whole and every particle of it. It is therefore wrong to consider the chromosomes a special hereditary substance or organ of heredity in the organism and cell just because they possess the property of heredity.” (p. 482) Is this what Reinis dismisses as “mixtures of cheapest slogans, unsupported statements and ignorance”? Today h Canada there are genetics texts which devote a chapter to cytopiasmic or non-Mendeiian inheritance, and there are entire books on this topic. However, in modern biopsychoiogy virtually all heredity is regarded as chromosomai - to the extent that the vast majority of research, for exampie all research on human twins, employs experimental designs which cannot discritiinate between c hromosomai and cytoplasmic inheritance. Some recent studies have tested for nonMendeiian inheritance in mice, and several reported strong non-chromosomai effects on fighting and even birth defects. I agree with Lysenko. There are chromosomes, and there is Mendeiian inheritance; but heredity is much more than just some chromosomes, and there is also nonMendelian inheritan&. Reinis claimed to have studied Lysenko extensively in the old country, and therefore I conclude that his incorrect rendition of 7

Lysenko’s views was not due to mere ignorance but rather was a deliberate falsification intended to discredit both Lysenko and myself. There have been several exposures in recent times of eminent “scientists” who fudged their data in order to confirm their own biases, for example Ptolemy, Mendei and “Sir“ Cyril Burt: and many lesser frauds have been caught pulling the same tricks. Frauds and windbags in science are exposed by investigating facts and analysing these facts rigorously. If you want to know Lysenko’s views. read Lysenko, not Stanisiav Reinis. If you want to know whether Lysenko’s views are correct, investigate the facts - thoroughly and with scrupulous honesty. I have investigated certain of Lysenko’s views and found them to be correct. As for Stanisiav Reinis, in his haste to “expose” me, he has only exposed himself. Doug Wahlsten Psychology

In order to “disprove” Marxism, Stanislav Reinis claims that Marx defined the proletariat “as a class which does not own anything but the working power. It is a class of manual workers selling their working power for a bare living.. . Manual work (is) using simple tools. ” “Professor” Reinis concludes from this definition that “the proletariat is disappearing as a class”. The proletariat he calls “blue collar workers” and he says that “the class which produces wealth in our society.” is the “white collar worker”, the “intellectual’ ’ , “the brain worker”. We have several points to make about, this analysis of “Marxism“. What Reinis calls Marxism is simply a concoction of his own making. Marx never claimed that the proietariai is a class of “manual workers using simple tools” as opposed to someone who uses their “brain”. Marxism defines manual workers (never claiming that they don’t use their brains) as those workers who still have ownership of the means of production (a hammersmith with his tools, or a weaver with his loom etc.). This worker, explained Engeis, “is wrested by large scale industry froi his patriarchal conditions, loses the property he still owns and thereby himself becbmes a proletarian.. .owing to mabhine labour.. .the old system of manufacture or industry fotinded upon manual labour was completely destroyed.” (Karl Marx, Frederick Engeis, Selected Works, Volume 1. Progress Publishers: Moscow, 1969. The quote is from the essay “Principles of Com&unism” page 84.) Engeis further explains that with the -industrial revolution aid the further deveiopment of industry and of machinery, this “ousts manual labour” and increases the number of proletarians. (Ibid., page 86) What is the proletariat? “The proletariat is that class of society which procures its means of livelihood entirely and solely from the sale of its labour, and not from the profit derived from some capital; whose weal and woe, whose life and death, whose whole existence depend on the demand for labour. . . .” (Ibid.) The proletariat mu?t sell its labour power as a commodity which is bought by the capitalist. Because the value of the commodity produced by the worker is far greater than the subsistence wage paid to the worker, the capitalist is able to enrich himself by the surplus which he expropriates. The only thing that the capitalist need pay his workers is a wage which will feed, clothe and house the worker - a wage which will ensure that the proletarian will return and perform the same tasks, with the same speed on the next day. The working class is stripped of any kind of ownership over the means of production, of its management, organization and aims. In between these two antagonistic classes, between the exploiter and the exploited stands the petit bourgeoisie, which owns the means of production, its own land, store, equipment for hire, etc. (farmer, small store owner, etc.) This class owns the product of

its own labour, such as a person who makes their own handicrafts to sell or a professor who owns his own research. This class does not need to sell its labour to anyone else to exist, but it sells the product of its labour. Historically the petit bourgeoisie is disappearing ,a$ a class, as many of its members are driven into the working class. The decline in the number of small family farms, small grocers, pharmacists etc., illustrate this trend. Not only are small businesses being bought out but also the number of personal and corporate bankruptcies is on the 12,224 personal and corporate increase: bankruptcies have been registered in the first nine months of 1977 up 25 5% from the same period in 1976. (“Globe and Mail”, Saturday, December 24, page 1 business section.) Figures also show that more and more small farmers are forced to leave their farms and join the working class in the cities. Professor Reinis‘ distinction between “brain workers” and proletarians is just more clap trap. For one thing, nobody can do any kind of work without using their brain (with the possible exception of Reinis), and even those who only do “brain work” are part of the proletariat if they have to sell their “brain-working power” as a commodity to gain the means of subsistance. Regearch technicians for rubber companies, quality someone who has to control inspectors, watch an assembly line to make sure that ail the coke bottles are capped etc., are ail part of the proletariat as the person who loads tires onto a truck. If Reinis’ so called “brain worker” is exploited by an owner of capital, if the result of the brain work is to enrich some capitalist and the “brain worker” has no control over the product produced, then the “brain worker:’ ‘is part of the proletariat. Do secretaries, cashiers, office- workers and other “brain workers” suddenly stop being exploited when they put on white collars? This idea is so absurd that we dare not ask this “professor” what happens when they wear a sweater. The next point that this “professor” concocts is that Marx claimed that manual workers are “the source of wealth in our society”. Reinis goes on to say that it is “the\, activity of numerous brainworkers who explore the nature of new sources of materials and energy, who design new means of production, who organize the production, supply and distribution of goods” that is the source of wealth. First of all, Marx never claimed that the source of wealth in our society is “manual workers” (especially since he points out the disappearance of “manual workers” !) What Marx actually said was: “labour is not the source of all wealth. Nature is just as much the source of use values, which itself is only the manifestation of a force of nature, human labour power.” (Karl Marx, Critique of the- Gotha Programme, Foreign Languages Press, Peking 1972. Ppge 8.1 The issue for Marxism, the issue if one looks at concrete conditions is not one’s activity (whether one is a shipper or a research technician), or what one produces, but the relation one has to the means of production. In order to produce, land, factory buildings, machinery and raw materials are needed. All these are called the ‘means of production. ’ But the means of production are dead without human labour, without

human labour power. Only when labour power is applied to the means of production does the process of production begin.. . .Under the capitalist system, all enterprises, all the means of production, are in the hands of the bourgeoisie. The working class has no means of production. This is the basis for the exploitation of the proletariat by the bourgeoisie. The first point about Reinis’ “brain worker” is that someone can have an idea in their head all their life, but without transforming the idea into reality it is absurd to say that wealth is produced. Secondly, do these “explorers of the nature of new material and energy, who design the new means of production” have any kind ’ of ownership of the means of production? Do they have any control over the product produced, do they own the physical product produced, etc. If they do they are not proletarians. They are either bourgeoisie or petit bourgeoisie. The point is that Reinis’ ’ ‘brain workers’ ’ do not automatically fall into one class as he claims. (in certain occupations distinctions between classes are blurred and it is necessary to investigate the conditions surrounding the particular occupation. ) It is not hard for someone who concticts his own theories and neglects real conditions to claim that the “proletariat is disappearing’ ’ . This person, as we have shown, doesn’t even know what the proletariat is. On the contrary, capitalist society is being proietarianized continuously, the weight and the role of the working class in prqduction is becoming more and more decisive. Life shows that the working class ofiiy needs move, knock off work, even for a single day, for the entire bourgeoisie to be shaken and all its institutions put in a state of alarm. It is not because the proletariat has it so good, that the workers of France, Italy, Britain, Poland, Canada etc., are coming out in increasing numbers on strikes, demonstrating in the streets, and occupying factories, but because their life is very hard, because the capitalist machine oppresses them, turns them into mere tools, dehumanizes them. We and our parents have worked hard, (with hands and brains) and have wasted a lot of money getting to university. It wasn’t SO that we could hear Reinis distort, falsify and obscure the truth!
