Chevron ‘affair’ now conduded The closing of the chevron and the firing of two staffers by the federation September 1976, was wrong, the chevron investigation commission has concluded. The five-person commission set up at the insistence of the chevron as part of the reinstatement of the paper in June of this year, submitted its 52-page report to students’ council Sunday. The commission’s mandate was to invesigate: 1) the reasons for the closing of the chevron and for the termination of the positions of the news editor and the production manager; 2) the legality and propriety of the action described above; 3) to make recommendations concerning the future policies, and structures of the federation of students concerning the operation of the chevron, and the employment of the chevron staff, ,and generally concerning the publication of skudent newspaper(s) at the University of Waterloo. The report is divided into five sections Introduction; The events of the closing; The closing of the chevron; The future of the chevron; and exhibits. On the closing of the paper there is a majority and minority report. Commissioners Dieneke Chan, Doh Martin, and Greg Merrick signed a majority position which condemns the federation, and in particular then president Shane Roberts. A minority position signed by Frank Epp and Tom Hanrahan slaps the wrists of both the chevron

and the federation. While condemning the closure of the paper and the firings as “improper and unwise’:, they also describe the chevron staff’s response to the closure as “unwise and improper.”

Chan and Martin, both UW students at the time of their appointment, were chosen by the chevron and ratified by the federation. Merrick, a student, and Hanrahan, a former UW student, were chosen by the federation and ratified by the chevron. h The chairman of the commission, Epp, who is president of Conrad Grebel College, was selected by the commissioners. The commission had about 28 meetings, and has accumulated 75 hours of taped testimony. The tapes and documents of the commission are to be deposited in the university archives. In its conclusions the commission is unanimous that the chevron should not be separated from the . federation. This issue the chevron is reprinting “The events of the closing”, and the majority report of the closing. Next week we will run the minority report of the closing and the recommendations on the future relationship between the federation and the chevron. The commission report brings to conclusion the chevron staffs demands throughout the nine-month conflict with the federation, -Reinstate! Investigate! -neil docherty

The survey by six Wilfred Laurier first-year sociology students which got big-coverage in the KW Record when it said that students arecheating on OSAP, also drew an editorial last Saturday. A chevron story last w.eek showed the survey was covered in the Record, ‘despite its limited ‘ scope and other admitted weaknesses. The survey reached only 100 students and. the question relating to what students spent their money on did not indicate that students_ were to consider livin-g expenses as part of school expenses, although -the organisers say this -was exp lained to respondents. Record reporter Joe O’Donnell ~told the chevron he found the story interesting because “it’s not very often that students would say that other students are ripping off the student aid system.” A chevron survey at Fall registration which said 89.3 per cent of regular students and 60 per cent of co-op students beyond first year needed student aid, O’Donnell hadn’t heard of. The Saturday editorial, using the WLU survey as its base, intoned: “It will come as no surprise to most people that some university students are still ‘ripping off the On-’ tario ,Student Assistance Program in spite of stricter rules governing distribution of available funds. ” The editorial goes on to accuse - students of “using student-aid money to buy everything from -diamond rings to trips to Europe to cars.” From here it generalises: “The attitude is prevalent in most societies. Beating the government is a game that never fails to attract players . . . The more civilised and humane a nation’s social programs, the more open they are to abuse.” The author, Lloyd Bibby, confirmed that it was the survey story that prompted his editorial. He told the chevron how he found out about the specific abuses of student aid money he had mentioned. “I talked to a kid over at Guelph one day and he was telling me about some friends of his that had used them (student aid awards,) for the very things I talked about,” he said.

When it was suggested that accepting gossip as fact was not journalistically sound he said, “Well, I happen to know them fairly well and I don’t think they were lying.. . It’s pretty hard to get anybody to openly admit that they might have done that. What -you can get is someone’ else to say, ‘yeah, he won’t say it but I know he did it.’ ” On the extent of abuse, he said, “It’s there. I didn’t say anything other than the fact that it’s there and I don’t know what the hell you’re going to do about it _‘- a little larceny in all of us, I guess.”

big” and “Well, you can’t measure it by prosecutions. ’’ He gave the view that “human nature” causes a certain amount of abuse of government social programs. “We’ve certainly had enough .-evidence- of. abuse of unemployment insurancei” he said, “that’s been published - the number of prosecutions and the number of people who they have managed to catch up with.”

- He said the play the storv received in the Record did not influence him as he saw the story before it went to press. On thestory’s in’ terest value he remarked “It’s fine When it was pointed out that a to sit here and look out the window Ministry of Colleges and Univerand say, well, people are interested sities official had told the chevron in this and that, but we don’t really there had been only about 15 prodamn well know, you know.

against giving support and two abstained. The decision was made without quorum as the issue had been ’ placed near the end of a long agenda. Federation president Rick Smit said he didn’t consider the proposed rents for the apartments excessive. “But then again I have to sometimes compromise my beliefs to represent people as they are and enough people have voiced their opinions on this matter and there is a strong enough lobby present at this university that disagrees with this increase so I feel bound to represent them fairly.” Grad rep Dave Carter, who introduced the support motion, said the tenants were mainly opposed to the increase because they could not afford it. “Their income is not going up by 13 per cent, as a matter of fact their income isn’t even going up by six per cent.

A few days after the election Makonnen went to the Federation offices and was informed by Smit that from that point on neither the ISA executive nor Chindaya would be receiving Federation funds until the conflict was resolved. Council was unable to make a final decision on the affair as Chindaya was not present to defend ‘himself. Councillors asked questions of the ISA executive members present and debated what should be done towards resolving the problem. Board of Publications chairperson Randy Barkman said he did not consider it possible for the federation to “legislate non-confusion in this matter’ ’ . He told the council that there was “very big confusion” in the association and outlined that the Chinese African and Iranian students did not support Makonnen. ISA executive members disagreed, saying the Chinese students had not wanted to get involved in the dispute and the Iranian and African students had no official positions. Grad rep Mike Devillaer objected, “where do you get this information? Do you make it up?” Barkman asked questions on the support given by the different student associations and exclaimed In the next few days Smit refused “I’m quite prepared to say what is ) recognize Makonnen as presient, withdrew funding from the true!” Math rep John Long said the fedSA executive, and informed the eration could support neither presdministrative bookings office to ident until the ISA “settles its probccept ISA reservations from no lems”. ne but Chindaya.

There is still no resolution to the :onflict between the federation and .he International Students Associaion. However, at Sunday’s students council meeting federation president Rick Smit said he would urge Yahaya Chindaya, whom he -ecognises as ISA president, to call >ff his elections scheduled for yeserday and would try to get Chinlaya and Aberra Makonnen who he ISA elected president January 10, together to work out a solution. The conflict began in early De:ember when Smit complained that hen ISA president Salah Bachir vas not a student, which is reluired under the organisation’s :onstitution. Bachir resigned. The ISA executive decided to appoint Makonnen interim presilent and to hold elections January 0. Under the constitution Chinlaya, the vice-president, should iave become president.

But just make sure everybody knows about this, and then go out and get elected . .whosever is elected is the president and that’s the way it should be, ok.” Environmental studies co-op rep Mark McGuire said he could not tolerate breaches of the constitution under any circumstances, but expressed concern that the problem be resolved. Grad rep Dave Carter said it was the affair of ISA members what they considered a serious breach of the constitution and how they should deal with it. He noted parts of the constitution that have never been followed, for example that members register with the association secretary and pay a fee. Smit agreed to place ISA at the top of the next meeting’s agenda and invite Chindaya, to give ISA the money it needs to operate and to discuss resolving the conflict. Council ended the discussion with no formal motion.

Although a morning service of the Sunnydale Bus is planned until the end of March, the evening bus service will cease in the near future. On Tuesday, Federation Vice-president Don Salichuk said that the evening service was being cut because of lack of use. Useage of the evening bus fell to an all time low on Friday February 3rd, when only four students made use of the service. Although this is not typical, student response to the evening service has been far from enthusiastic. The morning service has attracted far more customers. Useage was as high as 162, on Thursday January 26th, (the day of the blizzard). The average, however is closer to 60 students per day. The current fare charged is $. 15, but Salichuk said that this will be increased to $. 19 in the near future. He estimated that less than-$500 subsidy will be required to continue the morning service until the end of term. -peter thompson

Fed and Athletic

fees:

Governors confirm and deny I Refundable fees for the federation and a separate refundable fee for CKMS received the final nod Tuesday from the UW Board of Governors. The federation fee was reduced #$1.75 per term to compensate for the separate incorporation and separate fee for CKMS. This rep: resents the level of funding the federation gave CKMS this year. The federation fee will, beginning in the Spring term, be refundable during the first three weeks of term after classes begin. The Board of Governors, however, has the

right to stop collecting the fee “upon its notification to the Federation of Students prior to April 30 in any year to be enacted for the following fall term” and says it will stop collecting it if the number of refunds exceeds 50 per cent. The federation held a referendum on July 6 and October 25, which, with 23 per cent turnout showed students in favour of refundable fees 1851 to 1566. The CKMS fee will be $2.50 per term with the same conditions, except that students can refuse to pay it at registration. The fed fee, al-

though refundable, must be paid in order for the student to register. The Board also approved an increase in the Intercollegiate Athletic Fee from 11 per term to $13 per term, which UW president Burt Matthews says is necessary “to meet commitments already made to sister institutions”. The federation held a poll at the same time as the presidential election Feb 1, which showed students 1185 to 789 against the increase and 1387 to 654 against recommending the Board make the fee refundable. -jonathan coles

Carter’s. hands not so clean Although US president Jimmy Carter, has assured us of his “undeviating commitment” to the advancement of human rights abroad, there is evidence that US govemment agencies and corporations are deeply involved in the supply of repressive technology to many of the world’s most authoritarian regimes. This was the message Michael T. Klare gave to a sparse audience of about 30 at Conrad Grebel College Monday. He is the director of the project on Militarism and Disarmament of the Institute for Policy Studies. His book, “War Without End: American Planning for the Next Vietnams”, appeared in 1972. He said the “repression trade” is not talked about in the peace movements, United Nations, or in the new Congress legislation dealing with arms exports. Yet much of the transfer across boundaries, of physical means of repression, eg. armoured cars, tear gas, riot guns, counter-insurgency planes, .and other weapons unsuitable for anything other than internal security operations, are used for the purpose of maintaining loyalty to a government - a loyalty that does not exist voluntarily. He cited South Africa as an example. Such arms were also used by the Border Patrol Police in the bloody assault on Bangkok’s Thammast University during the military coup of October 6, 1976. Indonesian troops used them in the wholesale massacre of civilians in East Timor. Klare said this is only the tip of the iceberg of involvement in repression abroad. Government records show that US agencies are providing arms, training, equipment and technical support to the police and para-military forces most directly involved in the tor- ture, assassination, and incarceration of civilian dissidents. He also pointed to the “Nixon Doctrine”, which was formulated on the eve of defeat in Vietnam. The strategy was to build up the counter-insurgency forces of selected Third World powers in order to create a surrogate presence in threatened areas, and thus develop excess-repressive of subimperial powers like Iran and Brazil. The governments were selected “according to their stability, centralized government, attitude toward multi-corporations, and military strength.” These same characteristics also indicated “exploitive and oligarchical governments.” In 1971, then Under-Secretary of State U. Alexis Johnson declared that “Effective policing is like ‘preventative medicine’. The police can deal with threats to internal order in their formative states. Should they not be prepared to do this, ‘major surgery’ would be needed to redress these threats. This action is painful and expensive and disruptive in itself.” Klare charged that in line with the “preventative medicine” notion enunciated by Under Secret-

” York president

ary - Johnson, the Operation Phoenix programme was stepped up in Vietnam, and similar assassination programmes were launched elsewhere. Operation Phoenix was a political “search and destroy” operation in Vietnam against the National Liberation Front. It was responsible for about 40,000 deaths. Although most of the dirty work was done by indigenous operatives, Phoenix was designed, organized, financed and administered by US authorities. Klare also said that the US private arms trade has become a booming business. Most of the clients have been agents of governments receiving US aid. This trade is not regulated by the Congress and is not affected by Carter’s human rights campaign. According to Klare, the private trade has included computers to keep track of dissidents and to pinpoint individuals for arrest, interrogation, and on occasion, for assassination. Private guard services have also benefitted. The three largest US guard companies - Pinkerton’s, William J. Bums International security services, and Wackenhut all report substantial expansion of their overseas operations. The private “repression trade” has also managed to circumvent US export controls by trans shipment through a “third country” outlet and sales by subsidiaries on licenses abroad. For example, although Chile is on the US embargo list, its arms are supplied by Brazil which in turn buys it from the US. Canadian aircraft engines too have been sold to Chile via Brazil. Klare therefore concluded that the “repression trade” has more effect on day to day activities of the people in the Third World Countries than conventional trade. Therefore more control of the repression technology is needed. He also hoped to create an International Consciousness and subsequently, an International movement against “repression trade”. -nash

York president Ian MacDonald’s talk on “Productivity: the key to a new economic policy” was well received by the sponsoring Grand River Chapter of Management accountants, but met with pickets, leaflets, and questions from the Anti-Imperialist Alliance, Tuesday night. Macdonalds main thesis was that in Canada conventional Keynesian economic ideas aren’t working, and that in order to put life into a stagnant economy, stress must be laid on productivity and a “war on waste.‘? He said that wages should be dealt with by putting everyone to work and paying all workers for participating in retraining and education on the job, and that Canadian’s expectations of what the economy could deliver should be more “realistic.” When he said that “no-one should draw UIC if jobs exist within reasonable proximity” he was challenged by a worker in the audience who asked Macdonald for figures on how many people were unemployed, and how many jobs were available. The question met cries of “shut up” from the audience and the worker agreed, when Macdonald said he would come to that point later in the talk. Before stepping down, Macdonald answered the man by telling him to find these fig-, ures by reading the front page of the Toronto Star and by counting the job-offered want-ads in the back. The worker said that Macdonald hadn’t answered the question, and said that there were 991,000 people officially unemployed, but only between 30,000 and 40,000 available jobs. Macdonald described the Canadian economy as a “bundle of paradoxes”, saying that it combined high inflation with an unemployment rate unmatched since the depression. He said that Canada had one of the highest levels of personal debt in the world, and that increases in labour costs were not matched by increases in productivity . Unless “immediate action” was taken Canada would succumb to the “British disease” of very high inflation and a stagnant economy. This was challenged by the worker who asked how Macdonald

could compare Canada and Britain when Canada was an exploited country with a trade surplus, and a service payment (debt interest and profit) deficit and Britain was the exact opposite. Macdonald met this by saying that he had discussed this point with British Prime Minister James Callaghan, who had felt that Canada’s economy was going the same way as Britain. When the questionner pressed his point with figures, maintaining that Canada’s economic troubles were the result of social policies of the rich who laid off workers to preserve high-profits during a period of overproduction, the audience again told him to “shut up”, one man saying “At 6: 00 this morning I (went to my barn and) shovelled manure, which is what you’re shovelling across now.” Macdonald said that the solution to. Canada’s economic problems lay in business, labour, and government quickly arriving at a consensus and taking action. He said that UIC supplements should be used to pay workers in transitional jobs and to pay for workers taking part-time education courses on the job.‘He said that worker retraining

was the answer to unemployment caused by technological innovation, and that in order to increase productivity full employment was essential since otherwise workers would oppose innovation, fearing losing their jobs. The audience was assured during the talk that there would be a question period, after Macdonald’s lecture and questions from a panel. However, after the worker had challenged Macdonald on several points, and started presenting his own analysis of the causes of the economic crisis, a shouting match developed among the audience. The chairman then announced that the question period had to be closed early, since Macdonald had to speak in Montreal the next day. The AIA picketed the lecture, handing out a leaflet criticizing Macdonald’s economic analysis and carrying signs reading “down with the political persecution of Dr. Jeffrey Goodman Forrest.” Macdonald has recently been at the centre of a controversy over the now-retracted suspension of Forrest, a professor at York and a former AIA activist on this campus.

In an attempt to prevent this the state sends agents into the community and promotes the view that racism is part of human nature. While Pitman exonerates the state, in his report he gives the view that a racist in Canada is an eighteen year-old unemployed youth. In his investigation Pitman inter-

prevalent said Bains. He cited discrimination against the native people, and Irish immigrants as examples. The struggle against racist attacks is a struggle against the reactionary bourgeiosie. But Bains criticised “opportunists” who give the slogan ‘ ‘ Fight for socialism’ ’ as a means of opposing racism. He said opposing racist attacks is a very practical task “If a racist breaks your leg then you break his leg, and its not a matter of socialism coming in the process. So such a call will liquidate the struggle. ” s

He is the author of eight books including Philosophy and Religion, Ethics on Love Apologetics.

Group.

His analysis in brief was that Pitman, a prominent NDP member, is playing the historical role of social democrats, namely to create the illusion that capitalism can work, and that people should not take the road of revolution. Bains said the state does not want any section of society to oppose its plans. Yet the East Indian community is actively resisting its attacks, and the state is scared that this spirit of resistance may spread into the working class as a whole.

viewed the police, people from the immigrant community who work with the police, some wealthy ,East Indians, some faculty members, and Don Andrews of the fascist Western Guard. Bains said if Pitman had been serious about inves,tigation he would have interviewed ordinary people. Bains said a racist attack is not a fight between two races, but an attack by the reactionary state against people of a certain nationality. These attacks do not just occur at a time of economic crisis, which is one of the reasons Pitman gives for such attacks, but are always

Inquest promotes, The coroner’s inquest January 19 and 20 into the death of a Kitchener worker at the hands of the Waterloo Regional Police tactical squad was a well-orchestrated whitewash of the tactical squad. Officially, the inquest’s assignment was to determine how, when and where Mike Milojkovic died, and to make recommendations arising from those facts. The inquest was not held to determine legal guilt - that had already been established by the state’s decision not to lay any charge against Fred Bapens, the tactical squad member who killed Milojkovic. But the shooting of Milojkovic, a respected worker who had been at Canadian Blower/ Canada Forge since 1963, among sparked outrage Kitchener-Waterloo residents. For the people of K-W, the carefullynurtured image of the tactical squad as a “public defender” was on trial. But at the inquest, things were different. There, Mike Milojkovic was on trial. After hearing 1 l/2 days of testimony the coroner’s jury cleared the tactical squad and promoted its use in situations like the November 17 shooting of Milojkovic. The jury also called for tougher gun control laws than those which became effective January 1. These were predictable conclusions. Predictable because the inquest was stage-managed from beginning to end to yield just those results. Predictably, too, The Record reported the case in a manner that cast the tactical squad in the best possible light and the dead Milojkovic in the worst light. In particular, it used an error of fact to distort a critical issue in the case. Members of the family of the dead worker, and people who witnessed both the inquest and certain of the events of November 17 were disgusted by the proceedings, but unwilling and unable to contradict the assembled throng of police, attorneys, witnesses, and experts. It was not so much that the facts were wrong - although some critical ones are certainly in dispute even though the state attempted to present every one as hard and cold fact. No, it was more that the entire inquiry was designed to heap a burden of blame on Milojkovic and place a crown of praise on the police, and it rolled inexorably on towards that conclusion. Milojkovic’s step-daughter, Elizabeth Kamer, summed up the inquest by saying that she had the feeling throughout that “the whole thing is going to go the way it goes. You can’t fight it. . . . They fixed up their case the way they wanted it.” Crown attorney William Morrison marshalled what appeared to be an overwhelming array of evidence to support the state’s case that: 1) Milojkovic was a threat to his wife, ordinary citizens, the police and to Barens; 2) Milojkovic fired a shotgun at

defends tactical squad .

the police; 3) Milojkovic threatened Barens with a loaded shotgun, giving him no choice but to shoot, and shoot to kill. But the facts of the incident contradict the state’s case. Many of these facts were brought out in the inquiry but did not appear to figure in the web woven by the state. First, it is important to know that no firearms were involved in the domestic dispute between Milojkovic and his wife Dolly on the evening of November 16. .When; Dolly Milojkovic called police shortly before midnight she asked for help to deal with her husband, but she did not mention any threat to herself. At the inquest, she said she did not feel in personal jeopardy although she admitted he did threaten her with physical harm. She attributed this to the extreme volume of alcohol and painrelief pills he had taken. No guns were involved in the situation until the police returned Mrs. Milojkovic’s call and, reach,’

ing Milojkovic himself, told him they were coming to his home. Milojkovic then took a shotgun and shells from his closet and went out of his apartment to meet the police. Milojkovic was never Mrs. threatened and never in danger from her armed husband. But Record reporter Eugene McCarthy wrote that “The tactical squad - formed by the regional force last July - was called to the Edwin Street scene shortly after midnight when Mrs. Milojkovic reported she needed help in controlling her husand, who had a gun.” (my emphasis) The sentence jumbles two separate moments into one. Apparently minor, this error portrays the situation in a highly distorted light, suggesting that the tactical squad stepped in to save

CSA protests Felix Greene’s appearance as part of China Week January 20 is still having repercussions this week. The executive committee of the Chinese Students Association (CSA) issued a leaflet complaining that the Anti-Imperialist Alliance (AIA) had disrupted the event. The trouble began when AIA members and supporters objected to the form of the meeting, which to the demanded questions speaker be handed in on slips of paper, and tried to engage him in discussion on issues relating to his

Mrs. Miloj kovic. This kind of promotion of the tactical squad permeated The Record articles on the inquest, and is essential for the image of the tactical squad as a “public defender”. Since the economic crisis began in 1974 with its attendant unemployment, severe inflation and social distress, governments at various levels in North America, beginning in the U.S., have set up one tactical squad, SWAT squad, STRESS force after another, and have universally used as the reason the protection of people. Every politician and the police officials who create or propose a special squad of heavily-armed men trained to kill must justify it as necessary to the people’s protection. For if they are not protecting ordinary citizens, it is natural to ask: “Who are they protecting, and what is their real function?” This question was brought to the fore with the death of Mike Milojkovic, and all the effort of the inquest was to bury it with him. Their case proceeded this

speech on China after Chairman * Mao. The AIA issued a challenge, through leaflets and posters, to UW prof Paul Levine, who chaired the China Week event, and the CSA executive “to participate in a mass democratic discussion on education, science, literature and art in China before and after the death of Chairman Mao,” today at 7pm in cc 113. Their leaflet promises: “No Roberts Rules of Order or any other bureaucratic suppression! Everyone wanting to participate is invited to do so.”

way: The tactical squad was summoned to the scene after Mrs. Milojkovic called police a second time to say her husband had a gun, had left the apartment and was outside the triplex. With the summoning of the tactical squad, another police officers stood aside. While the first police cruiser summoned was waiting for the tactical squad at one end of Edwin Street (the Milojkovic triplex is situated about midway down the block on Edwin Street), police heard a shot fired by Milojkovic from the vicinity of his triplex. None of the police were hit by the shotgun blast, nor was the cruiser hit. A police constable testified that he saw a muzzle flash but could not

see the source or direction pf the shot. Despite a thorough scouring of the vicinity by a squad of police for several days after the shooting, no buckshot was ever found. A logical explanation would be that the shot was fired up into the air and not at anyone in particular. Why then did Coroner Dr. Walter Armstrong assert in his summation to the jury that Milojkovic had fired at the police? Confusion might be understood on the part of the police radio dispatcher, who reported in the heat of the moment that Milojkovic had fired on the police. But Armstrong’s statement came at the end of an inquest which had brought out all the facts, according to Chris Speyer, attorney for Barens, the Waterloo Regional police commission and police chief Syd Brown. Moments after the first shot Milojkovic was himself shot and killed instantly by Barens, who said he warned Milojkovic four times to drop his gun. Despite the warnings, Milojkovic continued to advance on him, Barens testified, and raised his gun to his shoulder. “Then I shot him,” Barens said. “I couldn’t take a chance. I had no other choice. I just saw this guy coming at me with a gun and it scared me.” To complete the case for the tactical squad, the prosecutor invited Police Chief Syd Brown to testify, even though he was not in the city at the time of the incident. Brown argued that tactical squads are necessary if the police are “to serve and protect”. He cited this particular case as an example of the value of a tactical squad. Not being able to refer to any citizens who were saved by Barens’ action, however, he asserted that a regular police constable would have been killed in the incident if the tactical squad had not existed. That completed the inquest, except for the coroner’s concluding statement blaming Milojkovic for the incident, claiming that he posed a threat to the lives of other citizens and making a final pitch for stricter gun control laws as he’d done throughout the inquest. Then the jury’s predictable findings. Several people who attended the inquest and read The Record reports on it are still not satisfied that the matter was justly settled. Mike Milojkovic did not speak at the inquest in his own defense. He wasn’t around to answer the questions which still trouble people. And as Elizabeth Karner says, “if they proved as they did my dad did what they said, still, nobody at the inquest said that he was a good worker, a good citizen, which he was.” On The Record articles, she said “I’ve never seen anything so friendly towards the police. They (The Record) couldn’t have had a better reporter for the police. ” -larry

Events

friciay,

of the closing

Friday, September 24, 1976 was the day the Federation Executive board fust closed The Chevron. The events leading up to and following this action have been pieced together largely from testimony received from Neil Docherty, Loris Gervasio, Shane Roberts, Doug Thompson and Ralph Torrie. As of Friday morning, the impending resignation of Adrian Rodway from the position of Chevron editor was known to employees at Dumont Press Graphix, the Chevron’s printer, and quite possibly to members of the Federation Executive. Some time during the morning, Peter Yates, business manager for the Federation, called Ed Knorr, building coordinator for the campus centre, and told him to prepare for a possible lock change to the Chevron offices that afternoon. Shortly after lunch, Rodway told Doug Thompson, a member of the Federation Executive, that he intended to resign. Rodway then spoke to Shane Roberts, president of the Federation, and gave notice of his immediate resignation. Roberts called a meeting of the Federation Executive at about 3:00 p.m. While waiting for quorum, Ralph Torrie, board of publications chairperson, announced his intention to resign. Doug Thompson suggested that notice of motion be given to dismiss Neil Docherty, production manager, and Henry Hess, news editor, from their paid positions on The Chevron. Apparently afraid that once word of this motion got out, an occupation of the Chevron offices might .follow, the discussion turned to the feasibility of changing the locks to the Chevron offices. Yates told Roberts that a lock change would have to be requested immediately to be completed that day Roberts then ordered that the locks be changed. The executive meeting reached quorum and was convened at 3:20 p.m. Torrie immediately resigned and left the Federation --offices. On the way out he noticed the locks to the Chevron offices -being changed. The Executive board then approved the lock change and the earlier motion to close The Chevron. As the doors to the Chevron offices were usually left open during the day, the Chevron staff was not aware of the lock change at the time it occurred, nor was the last person leaving the office that night aware the lockout began as he closed the door behind him. On Saturday, September 25, at about 1:OO p.m., Loris Gervasio, a turnkey working at the campus centre, was told by a janitor that the locks to the Chevron offices had been changed. He telephoned Docherty, who then telephoned Roberts. Docherty arranged to meet Roberts at 8:30 p.m. to recover some materials from the offices. At 8:45 p.m. Chevron staff members Neil Docherty, Henry Hess, Doug Wahlsten (also spokesperson for the Anti-Imperialist Alliance) and several others met Roberts and three security guards outside the Chevron offices. Roberts agreed to allow them in one at a tin. On gaining admittance, Docherty re-

fused to leave. As the security guards entered to evict him, the others entered also, and the guards, seeing there was nothing they could do, left the building. The occupation which was to last nine months had begun. The Federation council meeting was held Sunday, September 26, at 6:35 p.m. Although the September 24 actions of the executive were ratified, a motion was later passed to restore the locks and to reopen the Chevron. Later that evening, the Chevron staff, with Rodway absent, decided to publish the “Locked Doors Won’t Stop Us” special issue. The special issue appeared Tuesday, September 28. It announced a mass meeting to be held on Thursday, September 30, in the Arts Quadrangle, during which The Chevron and Federation would be invited to defend their positions. That afternoon Yates telephoned Dumont Press Graph& saying The Chevron budget was frozen. a reThat evening, “The Other Voice”, sponse to the situation by several student societies, was collated in the Federation offices. “The Other Voice” was distributed on campus Wednesday morning. That same day, Roberts withdrew audio-visual support to The Chevron. He also visited several engineering classes requesting support for the Federation at the Thursday mass rally. The rally took place in the midst of disruptions on the part of a group of people who persistently drowned out Doug Wahlsten, spokesperson for the AIA. A Federation council meeting was held at 6: IO p.m. The Chevron attempted to defend its position but found itself continually hampered by procedural restrictions, and limits on the time allotted them. Three motions were brought forward by Roberts: 1) to suspend publication of The Chevron for a maximum of four weeks, 2) to strike a task force to develop proposals for the publication and operation of The Chevron (this group was to report within a week, but found it impossible to issue the report in the time provided), 3) to eliminate the positions of news editor, production manager, and editorin-chief of The Chevron. These motions were strongly supported by other executive members, who by prior agreement threatened to resign unless council passed the motions. Don Orth, an executive member, had been asked by Roberts to prepare letters of resignation in the event the motions were defeated. The motions were passed by council. During the meeting Doug Antoine, another executive member, called Dumont Press Graphix to cancel the regular Friday issue of The Chevron, already on the presses. Following the Federation council meeting, the Chevron staff decided to continue with the occupation and to publish without Federation funds. The first issue of The Free Chevron appeared the following Friday, October 8.

support

When news of the Chevron’s closing became known, support for the paper was widespread. The Canadian University Press issued statements in September and November of 1976 condemning the actions of the Federation of Students and supporting the Chevron’s demands for due process. On December 17 the Ontario Federation of Students also condemned the acts of the Federation as did the National Union of Students on December 26. During the course of the Chevron’s struggle, support came in from student papers and student organizations across Canada. The Champlain Bugle sent a letter; the @ueens Journal printed an editorial in support of The Chevron and telexed it to Waterloo. The Varsity, The Champlain Bugle, The Sheaf, from the University of Saskatchewan, The Muse, The Other Press from Douglas College B.C., The Manitohan, The Gateway, from the University of Alberta, PRO TEM, from Glendon College, York University and other student organizations all sent in letters of support to The Chevron, occasionally accompanied by financial assistanct: e

Majority -- report

The closin An analysis The chevron Investigation Commission released its report last Friday. 7976; and the majority view on that act and the firing of two staffers.

1. Introduction In September, 1976, at the University of Waterloo, the student newspaper, The Chevron, was closed by the students’ council of the Federation of Students. At the same time two paid staff positions, those of news editor and production manager, were terminated. The closing occurred amid rumours and allegations of wrongdoing on the part of The Chevron staff. The allegations referred primarily to a ‘takeover’ of the Chevron by the Anti-Imperialist Alliance (AIA), a Marxist-Leninist organization on c’ampus. According to some student council members, this political group had taken over the paper, had subverted it to their own ends, and had discouraged new people from joining the Chevron staff. The staff of The Chevron denied the charges, maintaining that there had been no ‘takeover’, that the paper was improved over previous years, and that an active and successful recruitment campaign had attracted many new people to work on the paper* Strongly objecting to the Federation’s action, ‘the staff of the Chevron occupied their offices and, for nine months, despite the fact that all Federation funds had been cut off, continued to publish a paper under the name of The Free Chevron. During the nine months of occupation the Chevron staff continually maintained that they had been given no fair and impartial hearing and that the dismissed staffmembers had been denied due process, having been fired without adequate opportunity to reply to the accusations which had been made against _ --- them.-

good and we want it changed, so we closed it down.” These views illustrate the difference between the Federation executive and the Canadian University Press on the role of a student paper. Since both The Chevron and the Federation of Students are bound by by-law to ’ adhere to the principles of the Canadian University Press, it is clear that antagonism between a students’ union and its paper is not a legitimate reason for the students’ union to interfere in the operation of its paper. An event took place in March, 1975, which has been cited as a major factor in the feelings which led to the allegations of a takeover by the ALA. During that month Shane Roberts was evicted bodily from a meeting which had been sponsored jointly by the Federation of Students and the AIA. Roberts maintained that he had come to the meeting to investigate complaints by some students that the AIA was refusing to let them participate in the meeting. AIA members said that Roberts had persisted in diisrupting the meeting in the course of his investigation. The matter was never satisfactorily cleared up, and it seems to be from that point that Roberts embarked on a course of open battle with the AIA. The Federation of Students refused to recognize the AIA as a legitimate student group, and Roberts ran for election as president on a platform of hostility to the AIA.

Tension between the executive of the Federation of Students and The Chevron has existed for quite some time. In the early seventies an attempt by the executive to remove the editor of the paper was successfully resisted by the Chevron staff, and at that time they determined that interference from student government would not be tolerated; in future issues The Chevron took pains to point out in their masthead that they were a free press, not influenced by student government. Student councillor, J.J. Long, in testimony before the commission, said that there had been some ill will between the Federation and the paper since at least 1971, and both Neil Docherty , present editor of the paper, and Adrian Rodway, editor prior to the closing, confirmed that the executive action, even before the closing, had sometimes been objectionable to the staff. According to Shane Roberts, president of the Federation at the time of the closing, such tension was a result of the Chevron’s inclination to see itself as an independent press. He stated that, “traditionally it sees itself as playing a watch-dog, devil’s advocate role of critic - independent - and that is where a lot of the tension comes up” (Workshop of the Federation July 11, 12, 1976). Such a role is entirely within the accepted concept of a student press. The manual of the Canadian University Press for 1976 states on page 10 that the function of the university press includes the “critical evaluation of the role played by existing student organizations in responding to this situation (financial cutbacks to universities, economic crisis) and encouraging change in the leadership and/or structure of these organizations where they fail to recognize their responsibility to mobilize students.” In contrast to the view of the Canadian University Press, Doug Thompson, an executive of the Federation at the time of the closing, expressed the opinion at a students’ council meeting on September 30, 1976, that he was “disappointed that the students’ newspaper should declare war on the students’ elected representatives”. At the same meeting Manny Brykman, treasurer of the Federation at the time of the closing, said that “The Chevron was no

These circumstances help to explain the intense feeling which Roberts held against the AIA, and particularly against the Chevron production manager, Neil Docherty, who was an AL4 member. From remarks made by Roberts at a mass meeting of students on September 30, 1976, it is clear that he saw Neil Docherty as the principal opponent. At that time he stated, “either Docherty goes or I go”. Don Orth, one of the executive members who supported the closing, but who later felt that he had “listened too much to Roberts”, testified that Roberts had an “obsessed paranoia for the AIA, and that he did not want his people to talk with the AIA”. He also testified that Roberts had advised his executive members to get onto the Chevron staff because he knew there would be a fight. Tom Cody, another student who SUPported the closing at first, testified that Roberts had said that recruitment was going poorly, that the communists had a majority

The events of the closing

of the paper

Sept.

Suggestions ranged from setting up a completely separate publishing organization to leaving things more or less as they were. At that time Roberts suggested that if The Chevron became separate from the Federation, the federation might consider setting up its own paper for disseminating material biased toward the Federation of Students. In early August, 1976, a motion to dismiss Rodway for incompetence was brought before the Chevron staff and pressed by some of the staff members who were associated with the AIA. Although the motion was defeated by ZI large majority of the staff, the incident prompted a memo from Dave McLellan, vice president of the Federation, to the executive of the Federation. The memo alleged poor relations in the Chevron staff and blamed the situation on Neil Docherty. The memo suggested three choices available for correcting matters. While the second and third suggestions were perfectly legitimate, the first suggestion on the list cutting off Docherty’s salary - was clearly contradictory to the principles of the Canadian University press, since it suggested that the student government interfere in the internal affairs of the paper. It was at this point that Roberts and McLellan began seriously considering major interference with The Chevron, sounding out various other executive members on the idea. Doug Thompson testified that Roberts from whom he had become somewhat estranged, approached him on several occasions to ask what he thought about “doing something” with The Chevron. Don Orth testified that McLellan asked him at a party what he thought of Roberts’ idea to close the paper. McLellan himself, although he had suggested interference with the paper, felt that the closing was a mistake and was quoted as saying, “I’m glad I was in London when the decision was made to do it.”

The idea of closing the paper, or of interfering with its operation in some way, was defmitely in the air during the month of September, 1976. The actual opportunity to step in was provided on September 24$ when Adrian Rodway resigned without notice from his position as editor. At this point the Federation of Students might legitimately have called for an investigation by Canadian University Press if the executive of the Federation of Students felt that the paper was not functioning properly. As it was, the action taken was clearly in contravention of the principles of the Canadian University Press which specifically prohibit student governments from such interference with their papers. Not only did the closing contravene the principles of the Canadian University Press, but it was also carried out in a conspiratorial and dictatorial manner. Changing the locks to The Chevron offices was contemplated on Friday morning, well before the resignation of Rodway became official. The executive of the Federation for whatever reason, saw no need to inform any of The Chevron staff of the action they were undertaking. The improprieties mainly concern the denial of due process to individuals and the The Chevron. A responsible body ought never to have proceeded in such a dictatorial manner on the basis of uninvestigated rumour and allegation. The tactics employed to maintain a basically undemocratic position were likewise improper. When students’ council was confronted with the threat of mass resignations by their executive, they ought to have seen that blackmail tactics are no substitute for reasoned argument and substantiation. The September 30 council meeting was meant to allow The Chevron an opportunity to reply to the charges made against it. In fact, the staff were allowed insufficient time to deal with the original charges made against them and were further confronted I

with a crowd of new accusations made at that meeting. The democratic principle of due process was completely subverted by a prearranged agreement of the Federation executive. Rather than present clear and supported charges against The Chevron or against individual members of the Chevron staff, the executive demanded that the paper be closed and that Docherty and Hess (Henry Hess News Editor at the time - chevron note) be fired. To add force to their demands the members of the executive had, at the request of Roberts, prepared letters of resignation which they threatened to tender unless. their demands were met. The students’ council was stamped by the host of charges and blackmailed by the threat of mass resignations into passing motions which are proved to be unjustified by the anti-democratic means which were needed to push them through. On the same day as the council meeting, September 30, there was a mass meeting of students in the arts quadrangle. The Chevron, in its special issue of Tuesday, Sep tember 28, had called for this mass meeting as an opportunity of bringing their case directly before the students. Roberts first attempted to block this meeting by withdrawing permission for The Chevron to make use of equipment from Audio-Visual. The attempt failed, however, when Ernst von Bezold, a Chevron staff member put up a deposit for the necessary equipment. Roberts then visited a meeting of the engineering society and requested their support at the mass meeting. The meeting, when it took place, was more or less in the control of an organized group who completely drowned out speeches which they did not wish to be heard. It is clear from all.of the foregoing that the closing of The Chevron was far from proper. If Roberts, or anyone else, had legitimate reasons for believing that The Chevron was not fulfilling its duties as a student paper, he ought, by all the principles of democracy as well as the specific principles of the Canadian University Press, to have presented the charges clearly before council and to have called for an investigation by the Cnandian University Press. The basic concepts of justice require that individuals who are accused of wrong doing should be given a fair hearing by the people to whom they are responsible. In the case of Neil Docherty and Henry Hess, the principles of the Canadian University Press make it clear that the Chevron staff was the only body which could legitimately dismiss them after due process. The Federation executive’s need for secrecy and for railroading tactics serve to indicate the anti-democratic nature of its actions.

4. Rumours and Allegations Closing a newspaper is, obviously, a very serious enterprise. The removal of staff from the paper certainly requires proved occurences of serious misdeeds or shortcomings. When the executive of the Federation closed The Chevron, they did so on the basis of what they themselves admitted were “rumours”, “fears”, and “suspicions”. They also admitted that these rumours and fears might be “mistaken and unfounded”. Since it is directly contrary to the notion of law and justice to convict anyone on the basis of unproved rumour and suspicion, it is quite obvious from the staterment which accompanied the minutes of the executive meeting that closed The Chevron that the actions were improper. In the course of the dispute the allegations and accusations were increased to some-

thing over one hundred, as though lack of substantiation of the first charges might be overcome by multiplying their number. These allegations were presented at the students’ council meetings of September 26 and 30, in The Other Voice, the Bullseye and the Real Chevron (the last two were publications of the Federation of Students) and they were repeated again before the commission. These charges and allegations fall under a number of separate catagories; some of which warrant discussion (See Appendix B) 1,The charge was made that the resignation of Adrian Rodway, editor of the paper, and Ralph Torrie, chairman of the Board of Publications, had brought about a crisis in the operation of the paper. No one was in charge. In fact, neither the editor nor the chairman of the Board of Publications was in charge of The Chevron. The operation of The Chevron had, for some years, been democratic; decisions were made by the entire staff. To see that there was no crisis in the operation of the paper some member of the executive need only have gone down to see that the staff was meeting as usual and had already taken note that the editor’s position would need to be advertised as open. Rodway, the editor who had just resigned, saw no crisis and he expected to continue working for the paper,as a staff member. The paper had managed to operate before without an editor in the early seventies. According to statements made at the meeting of September 30, the position of chairman of the Board of Publications reverted to Roberts when Tdrrie resigned. It seems certain that if the Federation executive had not taken the undemocratic action as they did, the position of editor of the paper would have been filled by election in due course. 2.“‘Past occasions on campus of theft, property damage, and physical occupation of office space by political groups” was sighted as a reason for the closing. These charges were clearly made with the intention of instilling a fear of the AIA. In fact, there has been only one instance of occupation of offices in recent years. The Renison Academic Assembly occupied office space two or three years ago. That group was supported by the Federation of Students and neither theft nor damage of any sort had taken place. It is ironic that when the occupation, which the executive feared, actually did take place, the only instance of willful property damage occurred when one of the executive members who had closed the paper threw a rock through the editor’s window. No one was injured. 3.It was alleged that the AIA had a disproportionate influence on the paper and that they were using the paper for their own ends. This charge was usually accompanied by a related one which alleged excessive political coverage. An analysis of the paper indicates that from September, 1975 to September, 1976 about three per cent of the articles represented the AIA position and less than one per cent of the features represented an AIA position. The inescapable conclusion is that the executive of the Federation would have liked to see no articles or features representing the AIA position. It is to be noted that articles representing particular political positions are not new to The Chevron. Various positions have been represented from time to time and articles have been reprinted directly from political journals in the past. It would seem that it was

Shane Roberts (Federation president): To the best of my knowledge this process (firings and closing) is completely legitimate, completely above-board. Manny Brykman (Federation treasurer): I am not saying anything against Neil (Docherty) or Henry (Hess) or anything, OK, what I’m saying is: Hold all the funds until such time as we find out about it. It is clear from these and many otht comments by student councilors and e: ecutive members that the student govern ment assumed it had the right to withho’ funds, remove staff members, 0~ otherwi: interfere unilaterally with the internal a fairs of The Chevron. For the most part it seems as though tf Federation was completely unaware of tl Chevron’s responsibility to present viev and cover matters which are avoided k the ‘commercial press.

SCH pub:

Brown performance very fine Charity Brown returned to Kitchener-Waterloo last week to play before a large enthusiastic crowd at, the South Campus Hall Pub. The performance was Ms. Brown’s first show in her hometown in many months and her first performance at UW in nearly a year. Last year’s performance was marked by controversy. Ms. &

Brown had been having trouble with her agents and managers. These financial problems affected her performance and she was not happy with the reception she received from the audience or the Federation, The Federation had some difficulties as it was forced to pay the band twice. None of, these problems were evident during last Thursday’s

performance. Relations between the band and pub organizers were cordial. Charity Brown’s blooming voice was working as well as ever. She showed great rapport with the audience and joked about some of her past experiences she has had in her eleven-year career.

Dance concert to be “brave and original” There are few dancers in Canada who have a more steadfastly individual approach to their art than Judy Jarvis, dancerchoreographer-teacher, who will dance a solo dance concert at the Waterloo University of Humanities Theatre on Saturday, February 11. Miss Jarvis was a faculty member of the Dance department at UW from 1970 to the Spring of 1977 and attracted an enthusiastic following in this area. The concert will start at 8 p.m. and tickets are $4.50 (Stu./Sen. $2.50). The programme she will present on February 11 are all her own creations, and include dances entitled “Prophet”, “flight”, “Ophelia”, “River”, “Just Be“ Dark fore and In Between”, Animal” and “Anchor Man”. In reviewing her performance of “Just Before and In Between”, the New York weekly “Voice” says this of Judy Jarvis: “She’s brave and she’s original - working with great intensity within a very smaii frame. The principal influence one can detect is that of Mary Wigman, with whom she studied for a couple of years. Like Wigman, Jarvis uses gestures, costumes, masks, or props with great economy and integrity to

transform

The audience was very appreciative of the performance. Charity Brown was able to get many people on the floor to dance and the crowd applauded loudly after every song. Charity Brown and her band played three fortyminute sets and came back for a much enjoyed encore. By the time you read this last night’s SCH Pub with Hott Roxx will be history. Tickets are still on sale for next Friday’s pub with Ian Thomas. Tickets are available in the Federation Society offices.

In 1970 she was director of the Judy Jarvis Dance Company which performed in Ontario theatres and throughout Ontario’s schools for “Prologue to the Performing Arts”. She has taught dance in various Canadian universities, dance studios and theatre workshops throughout Canada. She has performed her solo dance

Judy Jarvis studied with Mary Wigman at her West Berlin school, graduating in 1967. She was born in Ottawa, and her early under training was in ballet Gweneth Lloyd. Later she continued ballet studies at the RAD summer school in Kingston. After graduating from the University of Toronto with a BA in 1964, she took a position as dance instructor at a high school in Toronto. It was after this that she went to Europe.

During this tour, Ms. Brown has been playing with a new band. The group, Little Brother, producesa much tighter sound than her previous band. As well as playing old favorites such as “Jimmy Mack”, “Little Rock”, and “Any Way You Want It”, Charity’s band played many new compositions written by Ed Schwarz, one of the members of the band.

It has been argued by some of the people involved with the closing, or supporting the closing, that the same by-law, Section III, A, which states: The duties and powers of the Board of Publications shall be: A. to carry out the purposes and functions as outlined in Purpose and Function, subject only to the instruction and approval of the Students’ Council would, by its reference to “instruction and approval of Students’ Council” make the action legitimate. The students’ council however did not instruct or approve the original closing of The Chevron. The original closing of The Chevron was not undertaken by the Board of Publications at all, but by the Executive Board. The Board of Publications had not met in many years. Secondly, the phrase “ subject only to the instruction and approval of the Students’ Council” can only refer to matters which are outside the scope of the by-laws, since the by-laws are by-laws of the Federation of Students and surely can not be contravened at the whim of council. The by-laws in that case would be meaningless. It has also been argued that even if the first closing of the executive was not legal, the second closing by students’ council on September 30 was legal on the grounds that The Chevron had misappropriated student funds by printing the special issue of September 28, without permission from the Board of Publications. The Board of Publications, however, was non-existent for all practical purposes. It had not met for several years and there is no evidence that it has approved the other special issues published during that time. Although the Federation has argued that on previous occasions there was always a quorum of Board members who were aware of changes in the publishing schedule,

such approval was certainly informal and not in accordance with bylaw. The fact is that neither the Federation nor The Chevron had been strictly adhering to the by-laws for some time.

7. Some Observations Concerning the Investigation Since rumour and suspicion had provided the original basis for the closing, and allegations and accusations had been made steadily throughout the dispute, the investigation commission provided every opportunity for those involved in the closing of The Chevron to substantiate the charges which had been made or to confirm the suspicions which had originally guided their actions. Many of the people expressly invited to appear for the Federation never came before the commission at all. Those few who did show up offered no substantiation for their charges. Accusations that “many students” and even that “hundreds of students” were complaining to their representatives had been made at the September 30 meeting. None of these students came before the commission. A few executive members appeared before the commission and repeated allegations which they had made previously. They brought no supporting evidence or witnesses, and after they had said their piece they generally left immediately without allowing time for cross-examination. Promises to return for questioning were not kept. This behaviour was in remarkable contrast to the delegation representing The Chevron.Representatives of The Chevron appeared at every public meeting of the commission. They came prepared with witnesses- to back up their testimony, or signed statements from witnesses, or tape recordings of witnesses. They provided documentation for their claims, and were willing to answer questions at great length if necessary .

We are almost at the midpoint of the schedule for this term. In the Al league, Math is in first place with seven points.Optometry is in second with six points but have a game in hand. In A2 West Alumni is leading the pack with six points while Sunnydale, V2 West and St. Jeromes A are all tied for second place with four points. In B 1 Fernwood and Football are the strong clubs. Coop Residence is in the top spot in B2, while the Cutsets and Vl East lead the B3 league. The Nags are in top spot in B4 with six points. I’ve had numerous players come to me after the games and say the officiating was great but in most cases it’s the players and their attitudes that make the game clean. After all, less I have to watch for cheap shots, the better job I can do on the bluelines and icing-calls. A clean game has other advantages. The fewer penalties called, the more time is devoted to actual hockey, giving the players more ice time. I hope some of the players who read this will pass it on to the rest of their team members. Last week’s results: West Alumni posted its third straight victory beating North Eagles 7-2. Sunnydale came up with their second victory defeating Renison 4-O. Coop Residence pounded the Playing Blades 9-3 while Vl East edged 4B Civil 4-2.

Knechtel demonstrated his versatility as an, instrumentalist and singer-songwriter. Knechtel, from Hanover, Ontario, delivered three well received sets, alternating his accompaniment from guitar to piano. His low and slightly nasal voice, reminiscent of a younger Willie Nelson, is well suited to traditional country tunes like ‘Rocky Top’ and ‘Tennessee Stud’. In a change of pace and instrument, piano originals ‘I Can’t Stop’ and the jazzy ‘My Baby and Me’ proved his stylistic versatility in composition and delivery. b

Richard’s music can be heard on his album ‘Reach It On The Run’ on the Greentree label. Drop in for some easy listening as Bob Burchill, former member of the Perth County Conspiracy and currently present as the fine singer and songwriter we know him to be, takes the stage at CCCH this Sunday, Feb. 12th.

Foot Loose shows -‘form ula’ outlived Before we go any further, I think it’s only fair that I point out a personal bias which will undoubtedly influence what follows: I don’t like what Rod Stewart has become. h-regardless of the music contained in Foot Loose & Fancy Free, which is among the slickest fluff since I’m In You, I can’t stand the prancing, preening, posing parody that Stewart has developed into since the Faces split. There. Now that that’s out of the way... . For those of you who loved the hilarious “Tonight’s The Night” and the rest of the A Night On The Town album, you need read no further. You’re probably already hooked on the sappy hit sequel “You’re In My Heart,” and will likely think that Foot Loose is the greatest thing since marshmallows. For the rest of you who know that Stewart hasn’t made anything worth purchasing since Atlantic Crossing and listening to since Never A Dull Moment, his latest effort (for that’? about all it is) continues the great comedy tradition of musical caricature. On paper, it looks like Stewart has finally found a capable and exciting backing band to support his vocal pyrotechnics. Bassist Phil Chen and drummer Carmen Appice have both played for Jeff Beck, while the latter was also a member of the ill-fated power band Vanilla Fudge. The three guitarists (!) have backgrounds ranging from experience with

D B B D D D B B B D D I) B D D B 0 0 0 8 0 0 D D

Chuck Berry, to a couple of middle level British bands (Cockney Rebel and Strider.) However, on vinyl, the band just tries too hard. The resulting sound is both anonymous and slick, and provides little contrast or challenge to Stewart’s facile vocalizing. Like his last couple of albums, Foot Loose is comprised of a fairly even mix of standard rockers and tender ballads. Unfortunately, the formula appears to have outlived its usefulness. The Chuck Berry riffs which were so delightful on “Three Time Loser” and “The Balltrap” from the last couple of LP’s have worn thin, and lend a tired repetition to what will likely be the next single, “Hot Legs.” And the introspective slower numbers suffer from stilted lyrics and embarassing backing. “I Was Only Joking,” which has the potential to make everything that came before it worthwhile, instead falters near the end, and becomes self-pity rather than the

I almost wish that Britt Ekland had gotten away with her fifteen million dollar law suit hoax’ against Stewart. It just might have made him a little uncomfortable, and given him something interest-

Herein lies the real problem with the post Faces Rod Stewart. The music is proven and merely competent, instead of being eclectic and inspiring. (When was the last time you heard Stewart perform anything like “Every Picture Tells A Story,” or “Angel”?)

engaging wistful reminiscence that it started out to be. The only other notable numbers are a dramatic version of the Vanilla Fudge and Supremes’ classic, “You Keep Me Hanging On,” and a relatively straight reading of “(If Loving You Is Wrong) I Don’t Want To Be Right,” a 1972 R&B hit for Luther Ingram. The former certainly has it4 moments, beginning with a moody organ introduction, and resolving itself into a hammed up whisper (“And there ain’t nothin’ I can do about it. . .” ); the latter is perhaps the album’s most successful number, largely because it is the kind of song which presents little challenge to either Stewart 1Or his kand.

ing to sing about. As it is, I’ll go along for the ,ride until Stewart decides to move on to something new. Trouble is, I think I’m getting car sick. -john

After a long wait, Jackson Browne’s new album Running On Empty, is available in Canada. The major part of this album is performed live on stage, but it is in no way a “live” album. While most artists will release a live album which consists only of their hits performed before an audience, Browne has taken a completely different tack. None of the ten songs on this album have ever been released by Browne on a previous album. And even though this album is done live, with a minimum of overdubs, it is really only an extension of his previous studio work. Running On Empty, as the title suggests, is an album built around the theme of travel and motion, much like Joni Mitchell’s Hejira. It centers around a band on the road which has been travelling for so long that the towns have become blurred together like highway s*ignposts. As on all of his albums, love, alienation, endurance, mortality

MALLORY

CANTON

and desperation are major themes. Opening with the title track, Browne sets the album’s pace up tempo vocals edged with confusion and desperation. “Looking at the road rushing under my wheels I don’t know how to tell you all just how crazy this life feels I look around for the friends that I used to turn to, to pull me through Looking into their eyes I see them running too.” The whole album exists on different levels. On the surface it’s a collection of road songs, stories about life as a musician. But underneath it all are Browne’s recurrent themes. The most obvious of them is his obsession with love. On songs like “Rosie” and “Love Needs A Heart”, both collaborations with other artists, Jackson talks about the basic need of every person to have love. In his mind, Browne can’t comprehend a person being

e FANON

a complete person, and rightly so, without having someone to give their love to and receive love from. He has escaped from his sexism that allowed him to help pen the Eagles hit “Take It Easy”, and now sees love as a symbiotic relationship based on trust and equality. But the love Jackson sings about exists on another level; throughout the album it is associated not only with personal love, but also love of his audience and of his work. This is shown in several spots on the album. In the title song he tells the crowd “If it takes all night, that’11 be all right/ If I can get you to smile before I leave.” In “The Road,” (a Danny O’Keefe song), he says “Well it isn’t for the money/ And it’s only for awhile.” “ Nothing But Time” contains the lines “Still high from the people up there and feeling no pain/ Gonna make it to New Jersey/ Gonna set it up and do it again. ’ ’ And on “The Load-Out” he sings “Tonight the people were so fine/ They waited there in line/ And when they got up on their feet they made the show/ And that was sweet .’ ’ But as I said before, the focus of the album is motion. And even though it deals with Jackson and his band, his confusion over where his life is leading him is the same as any other persons. He is very conscious of time and the mortality of humans. His music i$ nearly obsessed with the idea thal we let time slide by us, and .don’t notice our mistakes until the dam. age has been done. In this respec lies Browne’s real power as 2 songwriter Jackson has a very clear view of society as it exists and though he has no quick solu. tion to the problems, he is an ef. fective recorder of the humar condition. His music is for everyone. The main character in “Running On Empty” could be anyone, not jusl Browne himself. We are all to the same extent victims of this social system. The “road” of the travel. ling rock musician becomes the everyday life of the doctor. lawyer, or junkman. The transience of life on the road become5 a metaphor to the impermenance of the society. Browne is quite right. We arc all running on empty to one exten or another. And just as the life that Browne lives burns people out and claims its fair share of Vic, tims, so does the greater whole Everyday people read the news paper and see stories of someone going berserk and the mount& tallies of people who are drinking smoking, shooting themselves into oblivion. Or then there is the eve increasing numbers of menta breakdowns. Jackson ties this right back into: his other lyrical strongpoint, tha being love. He knows that it’s no the final solution, but he also knows that it could go a long wa! to help solve it. “Rosie you’re allright - you wear my ring When you hold me tight Rosie that’s my thing When you turn out the light I’ve got to hand it to me Looks like it’s me and you again tonight - Rosie.” -doug’hamiltol

Barkman 3 confusions In a letter Jan. 27, Randy Barkman suggested that the chevron is full of “yesmen”. He openly accused the news editor of this, and certainly tried to portray the majority of staff in similar light. This has to be the implication of statements like: 1) “It is very interesting to note that when Rick Smit attacked the AIA block in a letter, the chevron came to the AIA’s defense with an editorial on Smit.” 2) “And because the AIA was constantly being attacked by professor Reinis, the chevron had to jump in and allow the block to publish a personal dig against Reinis as a comment. ’ ’ 3) the’chevron

ruary 18, 1977) but immediately plunges into a string of unscientific statements. In his letter “Questions to Wahlsten” (Chevron January 13, 1978) Reinis asserts that Lysenko was unbalanced, again with absolutely no substantiation. If Reinis sees himself as a teacher, then he better start providing some scientific facts instead of simply ranting and raving. This is only a sprinkling of the barage of points that Reinis has yet to speak to. There is more to come. Dianne Chapitis

The Greene disruptions After witnessing the deploreable behavior displayed by some associates of the AlAlCPC ML (among them some of the more vocal chevics) at Felix Greene’s speech during China Week, 1 am compelled to add my voice to Randy Barkman’s in condemning such irresponsible actions. Randy’s letter in last week’s Chevron accurately pointed out the totally undemocratic, childish and ignorant antics of this group w,ho, as Neil Docherty states, “de-

fend the basic interests of students.” Mr. Greene’s speech COULD have been very interesting and educational. However, the AIA came out in “strength” and again showed their “talents” as masters of pub-

lic disruption,

turning

the evening

into a

fiasco. I for one, was extremely provoked at having my right to listen to Mr. Greene taken away by the AIA who continue to screw up various functions on this campus. It should be pointed out that events as Mr. Greene’s speech do not come cheaply. They are financed with STUDENT

monies!

Just ask the Feds or the CSA how

many student dollars were put into bringing Mr. Greene to campus. Our funds are simply going down the tube each time the AIA subverts Federation sponsored events. Such disrespect for the student body must not be tolerated. Everyone truely concerned with furthering student interests should voice their opposition to ruinous AIA antics here at U of W. In closing may I suggest that if Bachir, Docherty and their band of idiots still feel justified in their destruction of the major China Week event, then they should ‘(re)read this thought of Chairman Mao’s from the little red book: “Communists must listen attentively to the views of people outside the Party and let them have their say. If what they say is right, we ought to welcome it, and we should learn from their strong points; if it is wrong, we should let them finish what they are saying and then patiently explain things to them.” Enough said?

Report racist Recently an hysteria has been created over the Pitman Repor t entitled “Now Is This report was released Not Too Late.” by Walter Pitman, head bf the Metro Toronto Task Force on Human Relations, toward the end of November, 1977. We the International Students are outraged by this racist report. This report is extremely sinister throughout and is a big attack on the immigrants, the national minority communities and on the entire Canadian people. This report presents four main reasons accounting for racism and racist attacks which are no different from the views of the racist “green paper” on immigration. The reasons presented are: 1) Because of the economic crisis, the people blame the immigrants as being the cause of the economic hardship and unemployment; 2) Because of the political crisis inaugurated since the election of the PQ in Quebec, the “English Canadian” people their national ideqtity” by are “seeking launching racist attacks against immigrants; 3) The pressure of urban growth has led to racial violence. 4) The growth of immigration to Toronto with the change in the composition of the population of Toronto since the second world war has led to racial violence, particularly the growth in the population of “black, brown and yellow-skinned people” which has given rise to “culture shock” on the part of “English-speaking residents”. This is total mystification. Arguments the same as those in the racist green paper are repeated: basically, the people are to blame for racist attacks because of their “inherent response” to hard times, “national identity crisis”, “overcrowding” in the cities, and “absorbtive capacity”. We know from our life experience that the Canadian people are not racist and do not subport racism. At the same time, Pitman devotes more than ten pages to deny that the governments and the entire state apparatus is the organizer of the racist attacks. After specifically mentioning the Green Paper on lmmigration, his own task force, the new

anti-immigrant Bill C-24 and the new differential fees charged to foreign students at Ontario post-secondary schools, Pitman concludes that “Despite all this evidence of so-called conspiracy on the part of the government, business and media, a case of malevolent planned racism involving leaders of every political party at every level of government and the corporate elite who control both the might of industry and communications in Canada could riot be

made.”

(P. 46-47)

While we have seen with our own eyes the collaboration with the racists and even the persecution and harrassment by the\ police of those who defend themselves against racist attacks, Pitman tells us that: 1) Many forms of racist attack are not a “crime”, so there is nothing the police can do.” This is a frank admission that in the Canadian state racism is legal. 2) The people who are victims of racist attack are ignorant of Canadian law, so that they do not know that the police cannot arrest people for assault, etc. 3) The ignorance of the immigrants is such that they think it is harrassment of themselves to have to swear out an information against an assailment, or that the racists get off scat free. Yes, indeed, the Canadian laws are very difficult to understand. Further, why is it that if the police cannot make an arrest unless they see the crime being committed that they never arrive at the scene when they have been called until well after the attack is over and the racists have had ample opportunity to escape? Is this a “mere coincidence”, Mr. Pitman? Hundreds and thousands of “mere coincidences”? There is one subtlety to this distinction between indictable offence and summary conviction offence that Mr. Pitman forgot to explain. On the one hand, a racist attack is legally nothing more than “common assault”, which is a summary conviction charge. Yet in Toronto, anyone who comes to the assistance of a victim of racist attack will be immediately arrested by the police unless he can prove in court that he was trying to stop an indictable offence from being committed. This was the instruction that Toronto Police Chief Harold Adamson issued last January 14 in an attempt to discourage people from taking up the line of self-defence against racist attacks. What is this but encouragement to the racists that they will be fully protected by the police? Yet Pitman claims that the policies of the police are not racist. He denies organized racist attacks by Nazi groups such as the Western Guard, saying that the “Task force failed to find widespread evidence of organized harrassment or violence attributable to organizations with self-imposed mandates to keep Toronto white.” Don Andrews, head of the Western Guard is currently appearing in court on charges of organizing racist attacks. In this trial, it has been revealed that one of the members of the Western Guard was paid betweeen $300 and $600 per month by the RCMP to work in the Western Guard. Under the guidance of the RCMP this Western Guard cell leader participated in over 200 racist attacks over 14 months. Everything Pitman has to say on what should be done about racist attacks is to oppose and denounce the line of active self-defence against racist attacks. He is mortally afraid of the people uniting to vigorously beat back the racist attacks on the basis of their own efforts and by keeping the initiative in their own hands. The international Students Associition firmly denounces the Pitman Report as another example of how all sections of government promote and fan racial and national hatred. The ISA will aid and support all those who are victims of racist attacks and firmly believes that only by relying on their own strength and actively defending themselves can the immigrant communities beat back racist attacks.

Cfedibility? Randy Barkman, in a letter Jan. 27, a chevron staffer, wrote a letter to feedback making several unsubstantiated ‘claims. Among them was the accusation that at a meeting on campus last December Professor D. Wahlsten “talked openly about forming a committee to censor feedback letters.” Unlike Mr. Barkman, I was at , that meeting and I don’t remember any such thing being said. What he did say was that people should write letters to the chevron opposing fascist ideology. In his zeal to discredit the AIA, Mr. Barkman has only managed to put his own credibility on the line. Peter Blunden

In the Jan. 20th issue Randy Barkman said, “there are many things to defend in Canada’s immigration policy.” On Jan. 27 I challenged him to tell us what these “many things” were. What was Barkman’s response? In the Feb. 3rd issue he answers by saying I should contact a Toronto lawyer and ask him what the good points of Bill C-24 are! This man Barkman hasn’t got the guts to back up his own statements! And when I present hard evidence as to the nature of Bill C-24 i.e. direct quotes, Barkman’s response is to say my thinking is “illogical” ! Fancy footwork indeed. But the sidestepping does not end there. Somehow he has missed the point that Bill C-24 is Canada’s immigration policy. And that if one opposes something one cannot with any integrity support it at the same time. However, after his letter last week, Barkman’s integrity is no longer an issue. Nina Tymosnewicm

II We, the undersigned students, wish to voice our opposition to the slanderous attacks on the person of Dr. S. Reinis, especially by people who do not have the guts to sign their name on their letters. What kind of paper is this that allows such character assassination to take place? Are you unable to respond to Dr. Reinis’ challenges in a civilized and intelligent manner? Or is this the type of society you are advocating? Will executions await those who are ideologically opposed to you? We can no longer tolerate this to take place. We are hereby inviting the students and faculty of this campus to voice their opposition to the incompetents who run this paper. Let us tell them we have had enough of their antics. Let us tell them we are opposed to having OUR paper controlled by a group of anarchists dedicated to the destruction of our country. Let us all come down from our ivory towers and let them know how we feel. After all, it is our personal freedom that is at stake. James W. Featherstone Chris Tsaros Robert St. John

Prez thanks the lot-of-ya There are a lot of things that I would like to say this week but perhaps I should Start bv mentioning that 1 thank all of you who voted for me-and those of you who didn’t and I will try not to let you down. I intend on remaining in office for the full calendar term of office, and I believe that nothing short of a major disaster will make me leave prematurely. The L‘gang of five” are now concentrating theirhenounciations on staff members.

It is unfortunate that Bachir and Coles are trying ‘to drag Barkman down because as I mentioned before, Randy Barkman has made many contributions to the chevron and gave the paper objectivity for the free chevron year. There is no way that I am going to involve myself in the feedback forum, pointing out inconsistencies and lies to the extent that I did last month and term. I try to learn from my mistakes and those last few letters started to undermine my credibility with many students so I shall cease my retoric and leave it to those who have little else. Three cheers for the Chinese Students Association for the letter in last weeks Gazette and for the handout sheet titled “AIA’s Nonsense on China Week”. Somehow I tend to believe the CSA account of the meeting rather than that of the AIA and its supporters. It is unfortunate that the AIA conduct themselves in such a rude fashion during public speaking forums because as it now stands we are having great difficulty in bringing any type of politico lecturer to this university because of the disruptive antics of the leftist fringe. The chevron investigation commision report is in and as I thought the Feds are the bad guys and the chevrics are the good guys, or so the report leads the average 1 person to believe. It is a good thing the Frank Epp from Conrad Creble College was the chairman because it seems that he and Tom Hanrahan are the ones who attempt to shed somewhat of an objective view on the situation and they are able to find fault with both parties. The report does not advocate separation for the chevron but you can expect a referendum on the subject in the near future now that the past legalities have been taken care of. The greatest fear that I have concerning separation of the chevron from the Federation under its own refundable fee, is that a hell of a lot of students will pull out; and presto! there will be no student press at this university, a situation that I feel would be intolerable and counterproductive. Please! for our sake don’t let the paper die. As long as we are taking about refundability have I got a deal for you! THIS IS A NOTICE TO ALL STUDENTS WHO FEEL THAT THEIR STUDENT FEE IS NOT WORKING TOWARDS THEIR BEST INTEREST A N D ARE LOOKING FOR A TANGEBLE ALTERNATIVE. If you frequent the CC pub and are disappointed with the facilities I would like to offer you a viable alternative which is a direct contribution of your refunded fed fee into “THE CC PUB FUND”. This fund is intended to work towards expansion and redecoration into something that has yet to be decided but will make you feel good to bring your friends to. REMEMBER, the only group that will pay for this venture is you, if you want it. This is only an idea but if the response is large enough I will take it to council for implimentation. Entertainment is one area in the next budget that recieve a great, deal of attention. Better managemant, scheduling, organization, and great, great, acts. Thanks to JJ, debbie frazer (CAB), randy barkman (B. Pubs), nick redding (BENT), don salichuk (B.Comm. & VP) the exec and morris, nicole and staff for the education.

A point of fact - The Grad Club Board of Directors voted to give the tenants’ association $500 at its meeting Nov 16 1977. By that time the chevron had printed two articles on the situation in the Married Students’ Apartments. They were front page stories in the Oct. 28 and Nov. 11 issues. The first covered the increase in dryer charges, and the proposed rent hike; the second dealt with the debt retirement.

With another election in the past, the students of the University of Waterloo can once again look forward to a year of fruit- less bickering by our beloved Federation of Students.

And OJWK responds

is no need for Carter to list a variety of interests worth defending - rather I object to the way it can be and is misused. I have seen it twisted out of shape in precisely the way I described, but never by people like me, as Carter so charmingly suggests. I object to all slogans because they are necessarily vague generalizations that either seem self-evident or assume an arrogant tone of truth. If they are, in fact, selfevident, then they are superfluous, otherwise they stand for a larger, more complex argument of dubious correctness. Slogans are invariably applied to a body far too large for their scope. Their limited, even questionable value is undermined when they are applied inappropriately, or misused through their vagueness. A newspaper, of all things, should not be bound to the tiresome rhetoric of a slogan, especially when it already. suffers from bad journalism, frequent editorializing, and has several staff members who deplore freedom of speech (see various letters on Felix Greene encounter with the AIA ,during China Week). Of course, none of this will change until more of the dissatisfied realize that the paper will only improve if they are willing to contribute. A more responsible, representative staff can be built up only when enough students have the courage to help create the newspaper they want. Oscar

Concerning policy I would like to know what your policy is on the acceptance,or rejection of articles on what bases to you make such decisions? Is it- a matter of impromptu decisions made by the whole staff or is it done by certain individuals who are supposed to base their judgements on a policy recently arrived at by the staff? This question arises because recently an article was submitted to the chevron but was not printed. This article and two others which, met the same fate last year were about the Small Planet Food Co-op. In past years, the chevron had been willing to cover the food co-op.,Does this change in behaviour reflect a change in policy? As author of the most recently rejected article, I would like to briefly explain why I

feel that it should appear in your paper. The food co-op is not a business, it is an organization of people acting to meet one of their basic needs 7 food. The food coop was started at the University of Waterloo and although it is more a part of the larger K-W community now, it still has a large proportion of students and other university people as members. The co-op proves that by acting co-operatively, people can gain some control over the quality and price of the food they eat, something-they can’t do at Zehr’s. Why do topics such as the adventures of ex-Waterloo professors or biased reports on the Quebec student press gain precedence over attempts by students and others to “defend their basic interests”, one of which is food? Is the chevron no longer concerned .about what is happening in Kitchener-Waterloo as it once was? Do you have a position on these matters and if so, could you explain it? \ Stu Vickers

They .were ,dismayqd ’ The chevron’s coverage of last week’s election results was dismaying. The report on the athletic fee referendum was incomplete and the figures given in the article and accompanying table for the ballots cast in the presidential race were inconsistent. * The issue of a refundable athletic fee was deemed important enough for an article and full page advertisement in the preceeding week, yet the chevron, in a skimpy three -paragraph article, peglected to publish the percentage of the vote cast in favour of compulsory fees. Was the vote close or was it one-sided? One can only suspect that this lack of disclosure is yet another example of chevron editorial slant. Perhaps a refundable chevron fee would make the paper more responsible to student interests. - Cameron Ward Denis Richardson *Who cares if the article reported the total number of votes cast as 2202 while. the table indicated this sum was 2093? These two figures are very similar and the discrepancy could easily be overlooked during proofreading (assuming proofreading occurs).

Athenas heading for finals. This past week, the basketball Athenas have won two key games in their bid for a playoff spot in the Ontario Finals. Both Windsor and McMaster relinquished victories to the UW women. McMaster travelled to Waterloo to find they couldn’t break through the tough defense. The UW offense wasn’t set properly in the first half, but by the second half, they had it working well for them. At half-time, McMaster was down 31-20. Waterloo kept up the pressure to win 61-47. Bonnie Zagrodney played an excellent offensive game. Even with a broken toe, she was running and digging hard to steal the ball. Her persistance paid off with three layups in a row from stolen balls. Her game total was ten points. With eight points, Norie Spence showed her reliability to do a great job. High scorer for the game was Sue Lindley with 18 points. At Windsor on Monday, the

Athenas took over the ball game from the first jump ball. Windsor has a relatively short team, with no outstanding players this year. They played a onethree-one zone defense which left the UW post player open. Waterloo took advantage of the situation to draw the defensive players down and then feed the ball to the post player in the middle. Jan McMullen and Lucy Patterson scored 14 and 10 points respectively from this strategy. Louise Taylor and Bonnie Zagrodney played good aggressive defense at midcourt. They made four steals in a row between them in the second half. Half-time saw UW up 4@8. In the second half, the Athenas attempted to discipline themselves and run the offense. Unfortunately, too often they put up the shot right away, rather than waiting for the third or fourth option. They still came away with a 68-41 victory over Windsor. The Waterloo won-loss record now stands at six and six. Should

the Athenas beat Western, they will be pretty well guaranteed a playoff spot. Western is now in 2nd place in our division. In their first encounter, UW lost to Western by one point. Results of this game will be published in this same issue. Guelph will be here this Saturday, Feb. 11, at 2:00 pm. They have lost only one game out of ten so far this season. The strong Guelph players to watch for are Cindy Dean, guard, and Candy Clarkson, forward and member of the Women’s National Team. If the Athenas secure a playoff position, they will play the 1st place team from the Central Division, Brock. Game time is Tuesday, Feb. 14 at 8:00 pm. Another victory would send them to meet the second place East team on Feb. 18, which will probably be Ottawa U. The top four teams in Ontario will meet in Guelph for the OWIAA Finals on Friday and Saturday, February 24 and 25. -‘b’

last year so the Orangemen were confident, if not downright cocky before the meet this year (it is worth mentioning that all of Syracuse’s swimmers receive athletic scholarships whereas Canadian university swimmers for the most part simply swim for their own enjoyment). The meet started with a surprise as Waterloo won the medley relay, much to the astonishment of the Syracuse coach. With this unexpected beginning the Warriors came alive with some excellent swims including Carl Cronin’s 200 Individual Medley, good enough to qualify for C.I.A.U.‘s and Murray White’s 1:47 200 free which was his lifetime best. Most of the Warriors did season’s best times in the fast Syracuse pool so everyone was pleased with the meet. The final score without diving was a heartbreaking 48-47 for Syracuse and 65-49 with diving. Our young diving duo of Smith and Syed dove well against some superb

Waterloo outshoots & out rebounds Windsor The Waterloo Warriors blew the Windsor Lancers out of the basketball court 101 to 79 last Saturday. Windsor shot a miserable 39% from the floor and grabbed only 30 rebounds. Waterloo shot 54% from the floor and pulled down 52 rebounds. Seymore Hadwen was his usual best and scored 30 points. Ted Darcie took over from Seymore in the ‘star’ department in the second half by putting in 18 points for a game total of 23 and providing freshness on the court. This game and the WLU game were total team efforts. Both games were fast and tiring and the team handled it well. This year’s Warriors were not expected to be a threat but now they have come together as a team. They are ranked tenth in the CIAU and are causing people to re-think about the team’s ability. In defeating WLU 88 to 76 the Warriors were the first team to keep Lorne Killion under 30 points (at 26 points). Whaley, Killion and Koepke are three good WLU players but what are 3 players on a team when playing against a team of 11 ‘team’ members! The Warriors travel to Brock tomorrow to play the Badgers. Coach McCrae may have a prob-

lem getting the team up for this one because Brock has yet to win a game and the Warriors may look upon Brock too lightly and get upset. The team is back home on Wednesday night to play Western here at 8: 15 for the second time this season. Waterloo won the first game 86 to 66 in London. Before the Western game, Kipling Collegiate (Toronto) who are- 10 and 1 in league play take on Blakelock (Oakville) at 6: 15 in the PAC. This match-up could be repeated at the Ontario Highschool Championships at York Univ. later on this year. Due to problems caused by the storm WD Lowe was unable to play here last week and was replaced by K-W’s St. Jeromes who were defeated by St. Johns (Brantford) 65 to 55. Looking further ahead the 4th annual Mike Moser Memorial game is coming up on Saturday Feb 18 at 8:O0. This will have the Warriors against Ottawa University who are currently 4th in the east. To be 4th in a league where 1st and 2nd are York ranked 2nd in the CIAU and Laurentian ranked 3rd in the CIAU is not bad. Finally, McMaster is ranked 8th and Manitoba is ranked 1st in the CIAU. -andrew

competition. Oh, and did I forget to mention something? Waterloo demolished the University of Toronto Friday night 64-40. It is the first time Waterloo has beaten Toronto in dual meet competition. Upcoming meets for the Warriors are the O.U.A.A.‘s next weekend and two weeks after that comes the Canadian championships. Toronto has not lost the O.U.A.A.‘s in 18 years and Waterloo feels the time has come for their streak to end. Journey to the Etobicoke Olympium to see the Ontario swimming championships; it promises to be an. excellent meet. --ran

B-ball athenas make playoffs! In an exciting game last Tuesday, the UW women won a hardfought game against Western. They now advance to the first round of playoff games for the Ontario title. Western started out strong and kept the lead for the majority of the game. They were ahead 3 1 points at the half, and Waterloo was not far behind with 27. The greatest margin between the two teams at any point in the game was only 9 points. With 3:37 to play, the score was 57-51 in favour of Western. The Waterloo coach called a time out. UW was in foul trouble as all the starting players had three or four each. It was time to make a move on the opposing team. Coach Sally Kemp called for a full court press. The Athenas worked hard to force Western to turn over the ball. Once in possession, Waterloo scored those important points. Western rallied and put themselves back up by two. The teams seesawed back and

UW swimmers Still undefeated

Since no Canadian university swimming team has even come close to defeating our Warriors this year the C.I.A.U. champs decided to travel below the border to find suitable competition. Last weekend they took on undefeated Niagara University and the powerful Syracuse Orangemen. Competing against the Niagara Falls team was no honeymoon as some of the pre-meet media hype suggested that an unbeaten American team is better than a Canadian team in the same situation. Well, it didn’t take long before Waterloo had swum the meet out of reach. Tim Wilson and Dave Heinbuch won all their events and the rest of the team also pleased stand-in coach Bob Graham as the Warriors buried the Eagles of Niagara 69-40. . The team then travelled to Syracuse for a meet against one of the best college teams in North America. The Warriors got blown out of the pool 93-26 by this team

forth till the last minute of the game. The excellent foul shooting of the Athenas put them back in the lead. Waterloo was in possession and despite the aggressive defensive efforts of the Western players, they kept it to let the clock run down. The Athenas won that allimportant game 61-59. Chris ‘Timmy’ Timms played an excellent game and led the scoring with 13 points. Showing her offensive ability, Sue Lindley contributed 12. Norie Spence put up I.0 points as part of her overall good solid play. For Western, the high scorers were Jill Finlon and Marty Demares with 16 and 15 points respectively .

Waniors get revenge The Waterloo Warriors have won two of their last three games to move within two points of the Windsor Lancers, who hold third position in the OUAA western division. Should UW be able to overhaul Windsor, and the possibility looms more than likely, they will qualify for the playdowns. Despite their meagre record to date, they will begin there on equal footing. This is significant because the Warriors are the type of team who can beat anyone on a given night, within limits. To quote an old cliche, it’s a whole new season. Two weeks ago the Warriors exacted revenge on Laurentian for a loss inflicted on our own basketball team prior to Christmas. Waterloo came out on the long end of a 6-3 count. The big story was Dave Jutzi’s two goal effort, which stretched to six games his scoring streak. Eric Brubacher scored the winner. On Feb 1st the Warriors were pasted by Toronto 15 to 4.

Friday past was as important a game as UW has had. Windsor was the visitor, and a victory over the Lancers would put Waterloo within striking range of Windsor’s present playoff spot. It would be easy to say that the star of the 7-5 victory was John Campbell,. whose skating and rushing were outstanding. He was undoubtedly THE defensive presence on the ice. It would be easy to say, that is, were it not for the incredible performance of Eric Brubacher. The talented centerman has been contained all year from displaying the brilliance of which he is capable, with the exception of only brief instances. But on Friday night he put on a five-goal exhibition that will not soon be forgotten. The entire show was climaxed by the game winner, which, fittingly, was scored on a breakaway. With playoffs now a realizable goal, the Warriors have renewed their vigor on the ice. -brute
