Ontario Youth Secretariat radio advertisements are telling students to look early and long for summel employment 9 but most Kitchener-Waterloo employers c;till don’t know how many students they ‘11 be hiring for the summer. The radio advertisements say ‘“ecgnomic forecasters-’ are predicting high youth unemployment this summer. The ads advise stu-, dents to look early and be prepared to accept anything, under the philosophy that “any job is better than no job at all.” Of the 12 major employers in the K-W area contacted by the chevron, only J.M. Schneider Meats has a clear idea of how many students they’ll hire. Schneider plans to hire 300 students, the same as in years past, but applications closed January 13. Electrohome does not expect to hire any students this summer. An Electrohome personnel officer said the situation “doesn’t look all that positive.” The company will rehire laid-off regular workers before it hires students. Manpower officials are also uncertain about student employment prospects for the summer. Caroliynne Hood, the officer in charge of the Manpower Centre for Stlldents, which opened Feb. 2 19does not yet know the summer job situation i‘ol students. Unemployment throughout the K-W area has been clo5e to one percentage point higher 1han corresponding per-io& a year ago, and Hood confirms that ‘.the tmemployment rate in the area is quite high.” For January of this year Statistia:s Canada says the K-W region rate is 9.7%, compared with the 8.8% rate in January 1977. The April 1977 unemployment rate was 5.3%
The Manpower Centre for Students will be operating from the Kitchener Manpower office on Duke St. until March 15, when it will move to 96 King St. South, Waterloo. Hood advises students to follow the guide of the Youth Secretariat ads: look early for jobs and take anything available. “We have to be realistic. You can’t expe’ct wonderful jobs,” she warns. Most of the 1,497 regularjobs allocated to students through the Student Manpower office last summer were ‘“close to minimum wage, ” Hood estimates. Last summer 4,692 students registered at the Student Manpower Centre. In addition to the 1,497 “regular” jobs (those longer than 5 days, and part time jobs continuing throughout the summer), 1,101 students were placed in ‘“casual“ job5 lasting less than 5 days. In 1976, 4,804 students registered at the Manpower centre, of whom 2,4 11 were placed in casual or regular jobs. B3th Experience ‘78, the Ontario GoveI-nrnentJob-ci-eation program, and Young Canada Works, the Federal government job program, will be (operating again this year. The federal government will hire 60,000 students this summer, including 30,000 Through the Young Callada Works program and more than 11,000 through the Department of National Defence. Last year 4,000 were hired rhroagh the Department of National Defence, including those in the reserves, cadet training and Community Assistance programs. This year a total of X 10,580,OOO will be allocated to the Department of National Defence for hiring students. An additional program operated by the Solicitor General’s Department will hire 450 students to work for the ministry, the RCMP and the Canadian Penetentiary Service.
Last year 2?5 students were hired through the elicitor General’s de?j partment. The app!ication deadline for projects under the Young Canada Works Program was February 17. says John Cullen, a counsellor at the Job Creation Branch of Manpower. The national Young Canada Works program has $48,000,000 to spend this year, compared to $30,000,000 last year. In the federal constituency of Kitchener, $ I 16,000 is available, with an additional $95,000 available for the Waterloo-Cambridge federal constituency. Last year $54,000 went to the Kiichener constituency, and $107,000 went to the Waterloo-Cambridge constituency . Local committees composed of
nine citizens and two Manpower employees are now deciding which of the proposed projects will receive funding. The nine citizens were chosen by the hlinister of Employmenl and Immigration from a list of 18 submitted by the local Menlber of Pariiamen t. Students interested in working in a Young Canada Works pro.ject should apply to the Manpower Stu’ dent office. Last year Young Canada Works funded projects such as a vision care service by UW optometry students for senior citizens at theil homes. The Ontario Experience ‘78 program deadline for applications is April I for post-secondary students and May 1 for all other students. -larry

Foreign students should pay rio tuition fees, and they should be given a living allowance Hal-dial Bains, Chairman of the Communise Party of Canada (Marxist-Leninist) told a packed meeting Tuesday. He was the guest speaker at a meeting organised by the International Students Association on the Current International Situation. Addressing the question of differential fees at the end of his main speech and during the question period, Bains said foreign students have a just ca~~se, because for 486) years the capitalists in the West, and now the social-imperialists in the East, have plundered their countries. He also pointed out that when the students complete their education and return home they work for one of the multi-national corporations which are fleecing the countries of Asia, Africa and Latin America. So why should the companies not pay for the students’ education, he asked‘? Also, the reason the stud&-rts have to come here to be educated is because the imperialists have oppressed their country. Bains said foreign students should be well treated when they come here. but instead ihey are attacked, ~ometi~r:c:~ pl:ysicaliy, and :ilways b3i v;?rI-i-ous fascist theories which claim that they are genetically inferior. Bains advice to the foreign students was that whenever they are attacked they should unite together and with other”students to fight back. Also he said they should expose what the imgerialists are doing to their countries. Further, when individuals make racist statements - he gave the examples of Ryerson president Walter Pitman who recently authored a study of racism in Toronto and Renison College principal Ian Cimpbell who was interviewed in the Gazette - their statements should be studied and “these charlatans should be exposed”. A Bains said to hold a few demonstrations in the hope that things will change will not help the problem. What is required, he said, is sustained agitation year after year, which if kept up will change the situation. -nei!

This first-year fido will be in for a shock when he finds out his diploma isn’t worth the paper he was trained on. Advertisements which appeared in several canine publications across the country promoting diplomas for dogs from the University of Waterloo turned out to be referring to a dog obedience school in Quebec bearing the same name as our noble institution. The university (the real one) has its legal beagles looking into the possibility of legal action against the unfortunate canine college owner, who had never heard of UW when he cooked up his fundraising scheme. --rick
The Annual General Meeting of the Federation of Students will be held Monday, March 6 at 8 PM in EL 211. Although the agenda hasbeen established, students can question and vote on ail proposals raised during the meeting. Annual meetings in recent years have had low attendance and accomplished little. For example, in’ 1976 the meeting lasted two hours and made only one minor decision. A break in the pattern came last year as the chevron conflict dominated ahe proceedings. Attendance and intensity increased. The agenda this year includes five major items. The Board of Directors, the federation’s ruling body for the purposes of the Corporations Act, will be ratified. Federation president Rick Smit will give a report on his term in office, and the federation auditor will report on the financial situation of the federation. There will also be approval of the auditor and his pay. The most important item, however, according to Smit, will be the
mitchell
report by the by-law review committee. They will be proposing a number of amendments. First, any candidate for president of the federation will have to be a student at UW when first elected. Currently, a former president can also run, even if he is not a student. This amendment was first suggested in 1976 when Shane Roberts was elected to his second term. He was not a student at the time. Also, a change in bylaws affecting the recall of precidents which was made iast year by the Board of Directors after the recall of Shane Roberts will come up for approval. Under this amenc1men.t. if the president leaves office before November 15 a new election will be called. If the office becomes vacant after this date the vice-president will become president. FormerI> the date was December 3 1. The acceptance of the\e amendments will depend on the vote of those at the meeting. --jsn shaw

tion pktnne There will be a demonstration against education cutbacks in front of Queens Park March 16, and the Ontario Federation of Students (OFS) has resolved to support it. The organizers are the “metro which consists of stucoalition”. dents, staff and faculty at Ryerson Polytechnical Institute, York University and the University of Toronto. Specifically, the coalition is opposed to cutbacks in employment opportunities, student aid, numbers of faculty and staff as well as cutbacks in post-secondary funding by $26 million this year. OFS met at the University of Ottawa last weekend and resolved that its member institutions “engage in activities informing the student population of the nature and effects of the government policy and, where possible, join the r-ally at Queens Park.”
, The resolution met with discussion that divided the OFS members into two camps. Everyone was supportive of the “metro coalition” plans, but some were hesitant to make specific commitments. Mitch Patton from Wilfred Laurier University argued that cutbacks are not affecting WLU, and Wayne Cuzsak from Brock said that if the demonstration flops “it will set back the work OFS has accomplished, bv two years.” The Delegations from York and Ryerson made forceful presentations concerning the seriousness of the cutbacks. York faces a $4 million cut in funding this year, and Ryerson faces a $2 million reduction. Pat Lagrie, president of the Laurentian Student’s Union stated that his university has experienced cutbacks for years and that “it’s about time that OFS got their act in gear and dealt seriously with the
ion
ore Expansion was the key word at a conference of the Ontario Federation of Students (OFS) in Ottawa last weekend. Delegates voted to add the OFS chairperson to the full-time staff, plan for expansion of provinceand broaden its wide services, membership to include graduate and community college students. The Ontario Graduate Association (OGA) held a conference immediately prior to OFS, and was officially formed as a semiautonomous body under OFS. The OGA elected an executive which will discuss financial arrangements with OFS before members start paying the OFS fee of $ I .SO per year. Ten universities attended the OGA conference. OFS voted to sponsor a conference of small universities and community colleges early this fall. The conference will focus on problems specific to small institutions, and OFS hopes,to increase its ’ community college membership through the conference. The move to sponsor such a conference was made by Fanshawe College in London. The Fanshawe delegation told the conference that community college students feel “intimidated” by universities, and this may be a reason for the low membership of colleges in OFS. At present, only five commumity colleges are members.
Edelson has been working fulltime at her job, although she has been receiving only the executive honorarium of $600 per year. OFS treasurer Carol McAuley told the chevron that despite increased costs, there will be no need to raise the membership fees next year, McAuley said that increased membership and new OFS services will generate the additional revenue needed.

The OFS conference was held at of Ottawa as part of a campaign to gain it as a member. Students at the University of Ottawa will vote next week in a referendum to decide on membership in OFS and the National Union of Students (NUS). The Students’ Federation president at Ottawa, Mauril Belanger, is in favour of membership, and he participated at the OFS conference. The OFS executive is optimistic about the outcome of the vote, although Ottawa students recently increased their dues by $1.5 through a referendum on the Physical Education fee and an Ontario Public Interest Research Group (OPIRG) fee. the University

cutback problem”. He also stated that much of the tenured problem lies in “overpaid, fat-cat professors”. “Just go to your faculty association and ask them not to take an increase in pay this year, and then you’ll see how much these benevolent souls support you in your fight against cutbacks”, he said. John Tuzyk, president of the University of Toronto Students Administrative Council, supported the demonstration and stated that “University of Toronto will feel the cutbacks the least of any institution, but that doesn’t detract from the issue that cutbacks are here to stay and every postsecondary institution will feel them regardless of your present situation”. York had 800 people at a cutbacks rally on February 9 and is closing down for the demonstration as a sign of its anger. Ryerson attracted 300 to a similar cutbacks meeting. Tuzyk stated that “there are a 10-tof angry University of Toronto students, and Queen’s park is just next door”. Waterloo has been facing cutbacks for seven years, including a building freeze since 1972.

The new Arts co-op programs are gaining momentum in spite of difficulties finding suitable job placements for all students, according to Bruce McCallum. Associate Director at the Department of Co-ordination and Placement. Peter Woolstencroft, Political Science Undergraduate Officer, said that seventeen second-year and two third-year. students are registered in the Political Science co-op. They are scheduled to begin their first work term this spring. He said that there were five jobs in the Political Science want ads and two late job postings had been offered. Some of the jobs are with political parties and some jobs are available with provincial government ministries. Wages will be around $150 a week. Woolstencroft hopes that more jobs will become available but many government ministries have had their budgets frozen or cut back. It is difficult to “sell” such

a new program to employees because they are unfamiliar with the co-operative education system, he added. Marguerite Scandiffio, coordinator for Arts co-op students, said that nine jobs were available for the nine English co-op students, who are attending interviews this week. Two students are returning to jobs from previous work terms. She said that four jobs are with government ministries, two jobs are with corporations (I.B.M. and G.M.), one job is with the Univeristy and one job is with the St. Lawrence Centre. The rate of pay is $lSO-$220 per week. Some students are not applying for very many jobs, according to Scandiffio. Two students applied for only one job while most others applied for four or five jobs. When English co-op students were asked about this, they said they had no desire to work at the less interesting jobs and other said
A conference of all community colleges may persuade some of the non-members of the benefits of OFS membership, said the Fanshawe delegation. OFS will continue to investigate the expansion of province-wide services, and progress reports were presented on prescription drug’ insurance plans for OFS members, and the idea of establishing an OFS credit union.

they have not applied to certain jobs because they have a preference for location. She said that if students who do not find employment during the interview period they have the option of finding a job on their own. The jobs must be concerned with the students field of study to be approved as a co-op work term. If a student doesn’t get a. co-op job the work term can be postponed or the student can transfer to the regular program. The first arts co-op program was Applied Economics, which started in September 1975. There are now 21 students in this option. The accounting options, Chartered and Management Accounting, have since been added. About thirty students are studying in these options. The Co-ordination Department is discussing plans for implementing co-op programs in History and the Behavioral Sciences. -huge

It is time to get in on the action. March 9th is Participaction Day. Plans for Participaction Day events to be run (walked orjogged) are in the making. Some of the ideas are: A mass demonstration of how to walk/jogg/run around the ring road for an hour sometime during the day specifically for participactioners. Residence walk around carnpu\ starting at one residence picking up others along the way and dropping them off on the way back. Swim party swimming to Vic-
A credit union would make lowinterest loans available to member organizations and individuals. Although four members already have drug plans for their students, OFS would require participation from only 70.000 of its 140,000 membership to make the service economical. A province-wide plan cvo~~ld make drug insurance more accessible to small institutions which do not have enough students to operate an individual plan. The chairperson of OFS. Miriam Edelson, was made a full-time staff member and re-elected chairperson for 1978-79 at the conference.
particularly angered by Premier William Davis’ statement that, “There are no cutbacks in the sy+ tern”. A delegation from Waterloo will attend the demonstration and the UW Federation of Students is planning on-campus activities to encourage students to participate.
The plenary discussion tended to evade the question of the numbers of students required to indicate dissatisfaction in the system. The last such demonstration that OFS held attracted about 2500 students on Jan. 21. 1976. OFS met a stone wall on February 9 when it confronted members of the Ontario cabinet. It was

*March 8th’ planned March 8 is celebrated around the world as International Women’s Day. Several groups in the K-W area are organizing events to celebrate. CKMS (Radio Waterloo 94Sfm) will feature a day of music sung, produced or written by women. For its interview section a woman will be interviewed. The programing is intended to deal with “women’s issues”. Another group, the Lesbian Organization of Kitchener (LOOK) will hold a pot luck supper March 8 at 20 Fairview Ave. Kitchener. LOOK has invited all women to attend. The Anti-Imperialist Alliance has dist,ributed a leaflet/poster advertising a meeting commemorating International Women’s Day in Toronto at 62-64 Claremont St. at 7:30 pm. The leaflet points out that “working women all over the imperialist revisionist world not only face exploitation by the capitalists but they also face exploitation simply because they are women.. . There is no such thing as the inherent struggle between men and women, exactly in the same way that the problems of the youth do not stem from the reactionary nonsense that there is struggle between the younger and older generations. Each social System has its own ideology and political line towards women. Only the socialist system has the ideology of emancipating 1
working women, and the state of the dictatorship ‘of the proletariat guarantees that men and women are neither exploited nor face any social discrimination. ’’ --salah

The international situation today is similar to that of the 1920’s and 30’s, with the capitalist system deeply mired in problems for which the capitalist politicians have no solution, Hardial Bains, chairman of the Communist Party of Canada (Marxist.Leninist), told an audience of more than 130 Tuesday. Bains was the guest speaker at a meeting organised by the International Students Association on “The Current International Situation”. The two superpowers, the Soviet Union and the US and their camps, are feverishly preparing for war to redivide the world. In order to go to war they must first suppress their own people. So one of the characteristics of this period, said Bains, is’the facsization of the state. The people have two choices, he said, they can either-be used as cannon fodder in an imperialist war, or fight for national liberation. Marxist-Leninists hold that revolution is the only way to prevent world war. There are two courses open to people in Canada, said Bains; they can either rely on their own strength, develop their own initiative against the capitalist’s attacks, or they can be deceived by false solutions. The only solution for the people is revolution. During this period while the enemy prepares the people must also prepare and they can only do so in struggle. Every few years, he said, reformist slogans are advanced as a way of solving the problems. An example of this was the NDP campaign under David Lewis. in 1972 against “the Welfare Bums” which -criticised the governmenl for giving too much aid to the corporations. But Bains said, shortly afterwards, under the NDP governments in BC, Manitoba and Saskatchewan, foreign domination of the economy actually increased and the corporations were given *greater assistance. L The same situation existed in the 192Os, particularly in Germany when thetpeople were faced with two choices - proletarian revolution or social democracy. The social democrats said they would reform the system: they deceived the people into passivity and stopped them preparing for revolution. When Hitler rose to power the social democrats were the first to join the fascists. So the issue which formed the thread of his presentation: either the people develop their own initiative and prepare to overthrow the system, which is the only way to solve the problems’and advance human society, or there will be a great calamity. The nightmare of the .bourgeoisie, said Bains, is liberation struggles like that waged by the Chinese. In their efforts. to stop the people following this path the superpowers try and fool them with talk of detente, while behind the scenes they drive the people to fight each other. Carter and Brezhnev are “throwing dust in the eyes of the masses” by various means, said Bains. . Under Krushchev the Soviet Union used to tell the people not to wage national liberation wars because they would give rise to a nuclear war. So the people were told not to fight. Now this line has been fully exposed because the people have risen to overthrow their oppression all over the world and instead of it sparking a nuclear war it has brought Soviet troops to their lands to suppress their struggles. Meanwhile Carter claims to. be

July 4 - August 11 The Studies in Family Life programme is aimed at providing the participants with a sound understanding of basic issues in human sexuality, interpersonal relations, marriage and the family. It also promotes the kind of emotional growth which brings the participants more in touch with their own sexuality. Increased intellectual understanding, emotional growth, and feeling more comfortable with one’s own sexualtiy, are all factors, which make the participants more effective as guides for the personal and sexual development of others. For this reason the programme is an excellent preparation for those students who are preparing for careers in teaching, social work, child care, counselling and nursing. The

Everyone knows that food prices are rising. Statistics Canada reports that fi-om December 1976 to December 1977 prices went up by 17.7% (see table 1) and the Consumer Price Index went up by9.5 %. Articles (all items,not just food) that cost $100 in 1971 will cost $167.20 in December 1977. But where is the money going? Not to the small farmers whose income has declined since 1974. Net income in 1976 declined by 14% from the previous year (see table 2). Also the income of farmers declined 24% from nearly $4 billion dollars in 1975 to $3.2 billion in 1977.

An intense audience of about 70 people heard a four-member panel give four different views on ‘&the role of a Christian in a socialist revolution*’ in CC 135. Wednesday night. The meeting. sponsored by Waterloo Christian Fellowship, entertained a bi-wci political 5pectrum: on the panel n’ere p\!,chologl’ professor and AIA \pokesper\on DOLI~ Wahlsten. Conrad Grebe1 chaplain John Rempel. Renison religious studies professor Daryl Bryant. and history professor Leo Johnson. Rempel said Christians should participate in the revolution: it was time for Christians to “stop explaining the world and start changing it.” He said it was impossible for a Christian to deal with conflicts in the world without first understanding class struggle. Rempel felt that history had as an elementary purpose the achievement ofjustice. and that a Marxist basis was a good way of achieving this today. He criticized organized religion for supporting an unjust status que: ‘bthere’s an almost natural tendency in Christianity to be reactionary .” However, Rempel maintained that. despite Marxist theory, man’s nature was n&t just a product of nature and history. He said Marxist bbutopianism” assumed “revolution was inevitable, and always solves the problem”. It did not explain the “persistence of evil” after the revolution and that a Christian perspective had to recognize the inevitability, and necessity of suffering in life on earth. But Wahlsten didn.t feel that suffering was inevitable at all. In fact, he said, Marxism had as its goal bbeliminating suffering from the face of the earth.” He claimed that religion had the feature of organizing people to accept suffering rather than strive for social change. Although Wahlsten felt that organized religion had *‘always played a despicable role in histhat Marxists tory.. , he stressed and individual Christians could
unite over specific issue\. like opwar”, beposition to “aggressive fore a revolution. However. because of their unscientific outlook. Christians could not take part in leading revolution. Wahlsten attacked Conrad Grcbei president Franh Epp as an ehample of a Christ ian who pretended to be pacifist. but in practice \upported war. Epp i\ \eeking the Liberal nomination in the t’ede ral riding of Waterloo. Wahl\ten called it “a shame on Conrad Grebel College” to have a **pacifist*. president. who is guilty of “utmost hypocrisy” in giving “open support of Trudeau’. at a time when Canada’s defence budget is being greatly increased. The chevron contacted Epp. who responded with “I am against war. My seeking the Liberal nomination does not make me a supporter of every action of the Liberal government. I fail to see what Mr. Wahlsten has in mind, unless he assumes for the Liberal party the same ideological homogeneity that exists in the Anti-Imperialist Alliance.” As well, Wahlsten said that the unity between Christians and Marxists was not a permanent one. After the revolution9 education and propaganda would be used to commysticism, and bat ‘Lreligion, philosophical idealism.” He cited the example of Albania where religion is extinct and its propagation banned. He said that the Albanian churches had been converted to centers for the youth. Bryant disagreed with both Rempel and Wahlsten. Organized religion had not been reactionary, as they claimed: bbChristianity has become one of the most dynamic, very progressive forces on the face of the earth.” Bryant stressed that communism is riot an appropriate social theory for Christians: ‘*Marxism is a Christian heresy, once removed.” He explained this by saying that while Marxists have a moral passion for justice - something unfortunately less evident in Christian\

Johnson agreed that the question of capitalism versus socialism should not be an issue for Christians. He said that in practice, however, organized Christianity supported capitalism, and the repression it caused, over socialism. His comments on this point were backed LIP by an African student in the audience who said that from his experience. capitalist repression and Christian dogma go hand in hand, in the Third World. Johnson cited a recent survey which, he said, showed that 80 pet cent of some Christian sects have racist ideas. He contrasted this to the non-believers who, have the lowest proportion of such ideas. Johnson also blamed some churches, most notably the fundamentalist ones, for fighting the emancipation of women. He was challenged on this point by Bryant who said that Christianity had acted as a powerful force in liberating women. Wahlsten also attacked orreligion, citing the gan ized Vatican.s pacts with Hitler and Mu\\olini. and Billy Graham’s and Cardinal Spellman’s support foi the Vietnam war as examples of
how it co-operate\ with repression. Bryant criticised this. \aying th‘tt b.both \ides can play that gameT’ and that LStalin had al\o \igncd a non-agrcssion pact with Hitler.

When nobody answered. she said that she had and that she studiec! Marxism when she w:is there. She \aid that no revolution would ever change a single person: .‘btoodshed will only bring more bloodshed.” Wahlsten then told her to “go to Washington, and tell Jimmy Cartel that. and 1-d salute you.” The woman said that the book she was holding had the answers to the world’s problems. Wahlsten asked her what the book (a Bible) would do, and she said it told one to share with the poor, to love one’s neighbour, and to bind up wounds. Gazette editor Chris Redmond

As a student and also as an Iranian citizen, I would like to inform the students of this university of a recent disgusting, barbaric incident at the University of AriaMehr. This university, originally located in Tehran, is an engineering school exclusively, and is famous for its progressive and politically-conscious students. The Shah through the years has been unable to quell student demonstrations here against his regime. Finally, he closed the university completely and opened another in Isfahan with the same name and offering the same curriculum. This new university accepted first year students only. Perhaps the Shah believed that by changing the geographic location of the university and accepting first year students only he could avoid the ever increasing demands and demonstrations previously experienced in Tehran. To his great anger the first year students in Isfahan took up where their fellow students in Tehran left off. The regime, unsuccessful in its plan, gave total authority to the gendarmes and Savak agents to do whatever they felt was necessary to crush the demonstration. On Decembir 19, 1977 >the gendarmes and Savak agents pulled all the students, whether involved in the demonstration or not? from their dormitories and classrooms and rounded them up on the university grounds. They separated 40 male students at random from the rest. First they beat these students into unconsciousness and then, in front of the rest of the students and staff, raped them. The rape of these 16 to 19 year-old boys might not have any great impact on you as you read the printed words. However, if one stops and really thinks about the senseless, revolting displai and the pain and humiliation it caused one might gain some understanding and insight. The vicious and fascist,regime of the Shah believed that by these methods they could break the will of these students. To the contrary, not only the students directly involved, but their families. friends and all decent people in It-an who hear of this outrage will be the futurk guerrillas and thei
MONTREAL (CUP) - Police action at CEGEP Vieux Montreal has spurred I’Association nationale des etudiants du Quebec (ANEQ) to call a series of occupations and a rally in protest. Two student occupations at the CEGEP on Feb. 22 and 23 were broken LIP by police, as were two stuclent occupations at Montreal’s CEGEP Andre Laurendeau the previous week. The militancy at CEGEP Vieux Montreal centres around three issues: student payment for needed printed materials, the absence of an office for the college’s student council, and adminktration plans to reduce enrolment.

supporters, willing to stand against the regime until the last drop of their biood is sned. You often hear the word fascism and imperialism around this campus, but might not yet know what they really mean. What is mentioned above is only a minute part of the works of a fascist regime. However, withdut the support of his masters in Europe and the U.S. (imperialism and its lackey-s) and the means of suppression provided by the C.I.A. and Savak, along with massive arms sales to the Shah, he could not survive.

Ninety per cent of the energy used to generate Ontario Hydro’s electricity is wasted before it gets to the consumer, UW academic vice-president Tom Brzustowski told a seminar on applied engineering February 22. Brzustowski, rephrasing classical thermodynamics theory, remarked that energy is always conserved, entropy is inevitably generated while exergy always decreases. For these reasons, he proposed that engineering analysis should be broadened from considering solely energy and entropy scales to include the concept of exergy. Like others in this field, Brzustowski defines exergy as the maximum available work from a substance in a defined state in a specified environment. Thus it is linked with the concept of entropy; the amount of energy not available for work during a natural process. Consider, for example, heating hot water for your tea tonight. By burning a fuel beneath the kettle, inevitable losses of heat will take place in order to heat the water. Thus we are forced to throw away some energy

The Waterloo County separate school board announced this week that it received 237 requests in January for job application forms &d it hasn’t advertisid any job vacancies.

The government would tell foreign students from such a country to simply obtain their degrees and return to their homes, without taking any action to expose such corrupt savagery. The government says: Go back with your degrees and watch these scenes and then take your oppressed students to classes and teach thern how to be successful engineers to improve the profits of the monopolies.

quality of the energy demand with the energy requirement, and the exergy theory can be usefully employed in this regard. Brzustowski also agreed that the energy costs of a nuclear power generation program were greater than those previo,usly mentioned for a conventional station. Finally he touched upon the problems of assessing solar-powered machinery in respect to conventionally fuelled equipment but cited the “dreadful loss of opportunity” in using solar radiation to heat water when it could be integrated into a cycle to generate all our energy requirements. -w.r.

A film on the plight of the Canadian Indian and some native dances highlighted a small presentation put on by the Nelson Small Legs Foundation at Conrad Grebel Wednesday night. The foundation, organised,in 1975 by several. native ex-inmates, is geared towards helping Indian offenders adjust to urban life. The director of the foundation, Jim Law, was unable to attend the presentation, but had a member of the staff outline the purpose of the foundation on his behalf. According to Gordon McPherson, a fieldworker for the foundation, the number of Indians in the Toronto area is increasing drastically, as is the number of Indians sentenced for crimes. The goal of the foundation, sponsored by the Ontario and Metropolitan Toronto governments, is to.establish a halfway house in the Toronto area, to offer Indians guidance and unite them with others of their kind to keep them in touch with their culture. The turnout at the presentation was disappointing, with only about 20 people attending, but the native drummers and dancers were undaunted, and encouraged several of the spectators to- participate.

that the government now gives UW. But the Gazette fails to mention that inflation from December 1976 to December f977 stood at 9.5%, which would mean that the rise is actually a decline of 3.7% and the real change in the BIU is a decline of $15 per student, which is an approximate decline of $225-000 in the UW budget. The provincial government divides spending between that which is “committed” and that which is “restrained”. The chief
“committed expenditures” were mainly the interest on the public debt. In 1972-73 this payment amounted to $480 million, but in the current fiscal year it will be $1.042 billion, and by 1980-81 it will be $1.48 billion. The government considers education and social service spending to be ‘Lcontrollable” and these have been restrained. Tht Gazette’s grant “increase” is in fact a rea decrease. -salah

Elvis Costello, My Aim Is True I’m forced to admit defeat. This record baffles me. Back in Grade 1 I. in the middle of a unit on Greek history, our teacher decided to enlighten us with some true Greek philosophy. The concept that grabbed me most was Plato’s Idea of chair-ness; he postulated that somewhere there was a perfect chair,, so perfect that no one could possibly mistake it for anything but a chair. and that all other chairs were flawed copies of this matrix, I imagine that if there were a twelveinch disc of hypervinyl somewhere that defined rock’n’roil (no, Sam’s does not carry one) and it were accidently left on a radiator for a while. then when the big audiophile in the \ky put it on his cosmic turn-
table it might come out sounding like this album. Thi:, is what Lee Harvey Oswald WOLII~ have produced had. he known how to play guitar. This is music for a recession; no frills, cut to the bone, this compares to the dishwater cartoon music so popular today the way that Kirsch compares to cherry brandy. A torn T-shirt drummer, primeval bass, organ/piano, and Elvis himself, a short, jerky singer and lead guitarist, ripping off short, jerky riffs as if all his limbs were prostheses. Even the songs this man writes can be so classified, the longest of the thirteen on this album (shades of the Ramones!) running
the superlatives themselves get cleaned out by the diamond-hard sound. Even a masterpiece like “Watching the Detectives” will never be a hit, AM or FM (though it’s not for lack of trying: my sister reports hearing it at a Grade 7 dance). Yet something keeps drawing me back to the disc: quite unfathomable when I consider how flawed it really is. When you come to “Alison”, the tune that comes closest to mollifying mainstream sensibilities (unless you count the first four bars of the album) and discover that the title of the album really is the jaded sexual metaphor you would have never expected from such a Frankenstein incarnation of Woody Allen, then you begin to wonder whether songs like ‘bWelcome to the Working Week” and “Mystery Dance” contain some deep hidden meaning that ~OLI inadvertently missed. For my money, this is true punk rock. Coste1l.o doesn’t have to advocate self-destruction and stick safety pins through his cheeks to be different: he is different, as anyone who caught his recent Saturday Night Live performance will attest to. Those who dismiss this album after the first playing are missing a chance to confront an enigma and thu\ define their position on the musical spectrum. Be\ides, yoke can always say you we~-tz in on the debut of Lee Harvey Oswald rock.

t0 Julia was not such an extraordiary type during the great upheaval f the 1930’s: a wealthy woman {hose humanitarian sympathies ew out to embrace the workers nd farmers whose livelihoods ‘ere destroyed by the depression. Iany artists, writers, even some 3cialites, joined anti-fascist oranizations, wrote novels and lays, or painted, with a new-found 3cial conscience. Several even lined communist parties. But not many saw, their convicons survive the Second World var and the McCarthy era. Fred Zinneman’s “Julia” tells LIS omething about why this occured. But it is an inadvertent revelaon, for I don’t think this is the Eason why “Julia” was produced. The movie is based on a reminisence by the American author Lilan Hellman about the close iendship between herself and her wealthy friend from childhood, ulia. As adolescents, it is Julia who cts as the leader, constantly chalznging and guiding Hellman, by xample and exhortat ion. Their lives take different roads { they grow olderi Julia (Vanessa tedgrave) studies at Oxford, then bursues further medical study nder Freud in Vienna. Finally, as he scourge of fascism threatens all )f Europe, she throws her wealth nd life into an endeavor to save ome of Hitler’s victims. Hellman, played by Jane Fonda, .emains in America attempting to establish herself as an author, under the tutelage of Dashiell Hanlmett (Jason Robarts), himself i well-known author. The character and destination of :ach woman can only be seen as symbols of Europe and America. It s Julia who recites poetry in French, urging Lillian: “Well, [ou’ll just have to learn.19 It is Julia who has toured Rome and the ,lums of Egypt, where she denands of her grandfather why the jeople are so poor. It is Julia who embraces and joins the move‘socialism” nent against fascism. Lillian, exjosed to this class struggle during a ,tay in Paris, finds’it bewildering. tppalling. For many of the rich imericans it is a European sickless, best confined to Europe. 1nly their class bias prevents them Yom seeing the same struggle in imerica. Julia is sophistication, experi-
ence, and knowledge. By contrast, Lillian is naivete, earnestness and, when it comes to her dramatic train ride from Paris to Berlin carrying $50,000 to bail out certain of Hitler’s victims, almost disastrous uncertainty in the ways of intrigue . But Julia’s life is equally iife with contradiction. Of the brief vignettes which comprise our collageportrait of Julia, two stand out as most significant. Nazi thugs attack the Viennese university where Julia studies, beating up students and throwing them over balconies. The Nazis are met with the determined resistance of a small band of students armed with the legs of broken chairs and tables. The last thing we see is Julia, furiously clubbing the Nazi as she goes down. But the other side of Julia is later manifested when she meets Lillian at a Birlin restaurant to take possession of the $50,000 smuggled in. “Ah, Lilly. Fine, fine. Nothing will happen now. But it is your right to know that it is my money you brought in and we can save five hundred, and maybe, if we can bargain right, a thousand people with it. So believe that you have been better than a good friend to me, you have done something important .” The futility of the undertaking is overwhelming: To empty Hitler’s prisons and concentration camps through bribery. Such an enterprise would require all the money of a Henry Ford. And Henry Ford’s money, like that of the majority of the rich, was already riding on Hitler. This was Lillian Hellman’s contribution, and Julia-s contribution too, to the struggle against fascism: To buy freedom for some of Hitler’s victims. Humanitarianism, yes. Sacrifice, yes, for it ultimately her life. But cost Julia humanitarianism and sacrifice woven through and through with pacifism and disregard for a thorough-going analysis of the class base of f&cis’m and the necessity to unite the people ta fight against it. Militant anti-fascist struggle certainly did exist in Hitler’s Germany. But that is not where Julia’s money was going. Julia’s sacrifice is poignant, but made even more heart-rending because Julia’s way could never lead to the eradication of fascism. “Julia” is playing at The Cinema in downtown Kitchener.

Mummers take radical view of seal hunt
Based on a true story. Adult Entertiiinment
NIGHTLY 7 8, 9:15 MAT. SAT-SUN 2 P.M.
The seal hunt doesn’t start for a week in Newfoundland, but it began in Waterloo last Monday in the Theatre of the Arts. There the Mummers Troupe, a theatrical company from St. John’s, presented “They Shoot Seals, Don’t They?*‘. a two-hour look at the pros and cons of the sealing industry. What the Mummers are trying to do is to bring Newfoundland to the rest of the country, to present a people and a culture which too few of LIS have ever tried to fully comprehend. The presentation Tof this show presents quite a chaltenge for the ~orntxmv. They must take an audi-
ence, and try to convince them that not only is sealing not barbaric and bloodthirsty, but it is in fact an ecological responsibility and an economic necessity for the Newfoundlander. And they do. First we are given a short history of the island, its settlement and its dependence on two main resources: fish and seals. We quickly advance to the present, where the main issues of the sealing controversy are looked at. Seals are harvested merely to provide luxury items‘? Not true. The meat and blubber from ovel half of the seals harvested at-e used for foodstuffs and industriat oils.

Sealers are barbarians, killing defenseless baby seals with clubs and gaffs‘? Well, studies have shown that clubbing is far less ’ ‘ barbaric’ ’ than the painful and occasionally ineffective methods used in abbatoirs. And if you’re going to speak of defensetess baby seats, you’d better think about the defenseless baby cows that go into your Wiener Schnitzel and the defenseless baby sheep that provide LIS with lamb chops each spring.

Gem up- for Murch 9th:
Participa ticin at Participaction has been in the air for several months now. It is now time to get in on the action and participate. Thursday, March 9, 1978 has been designated as “PARTICIPATION DAY” so that all in Waterloo Region can participact together. Now, the question remains . . . what are we on the University of Waterloo campus going to become active in? Well several alternatives are available to faculty, staff and students which include;-( 1) participating in the Jogger’s challenge! Just think how many miles could be added to your accumulated total on that day! (2) recreation and fitness swimming in the pool at 8: 15-9:lSam, 11:451:15pm, 9:3-0-10:3Opm. Join in and participact! Maybe even bring your favourite duck. (3) noon hour skating is available for an hour at all Waterloo arenas, so put on the blades and grab a friend because it’s time to play! These are just a few of the ideas and opportunities for you to
l
Wheel&air
participact . . . well what are your ideas? Here’s another activity which we felt that all would find extremely enjoyable and perhaps worthy of further continuation. A walking tour of the UW campus during noon-hour!! The following map details one of the most attractive walking tours in the Twin Cities area and surprisingly enough it is located here on campus. Two tours are outlined including (1) a “short”, less than one hour stroll that touches on most of the academic area and (2) a longer one that includes not only (1) but also the student villages. A reminder that all will enjoy this self-directed approach to Participaction Day on March 9 which we hope that all will take the opportunity to stroll and explore an area of campus that one may not usually have the time or motivation to explore! Hope to see you strolling. -ed

Although only 5 are shown here, Procter & Gamble makes more than 30 well-known, well-advertised consumer brands. For each brand, there is a small management group, usually just 3 people, totally responsible for planning, creating and supervising everything that is done to increase consumer acceptance of their brand. The group is headed by a Brand Manager, an important level of management in our company. Right now, we’re looking for a few highly qualified Spring graduates with the potential to become Brand Managers. You would start in our Toronto General Offices as part of a brand group for a specific brand, perhaps one of those shown here. To help you learn quickly, your Brand Manager would give you challenging assignments of increasing responsibility in various key marketing areas such as package design7 special promotions, budget planning and analysis, and market research.

a shot at the Spinners
When the Kitchener-Waterloo Media (all able bodied except one) met the less physically able Kitchener-Waterloo Spinners, a local wheelchair basketball team, it had every indication of defeating the later last February 22 at Cameron Heights Collegiate. The Media though more superiol in passing were out performed by the more experienced Spinners in maneuvering the wheelchair, a determining factor for the game. The Spinners lead a staggering 13-4 in the first half. As the game

progresses the Media gained more experience on the wheelchair and managed to end the game with the Spinners winning 17- 14. Confining to the wheelchair did not prevent the game from getting rough.

1 am very concerned about the coverage given to the University of Waterloo Basket ball Team in the Feb. 17 issue of the Chevron. The team is currently in first place in the western division of the OUAA in the CIAU with a nine and one record. They must lose both of their remaining games in order to lose that position. The Mike Moser Memorial Game is scheduled for the 18th of February and is an important game for the Warriors (as are all Maser Memorial Games). The Warriors are ranked in the top ten nationally (No. 8’!) in basketball. Yet, in this week’s chevron, there were only nine (9) column inches on the Warriors. plus two photographs, giving the team less than one-half page total on them. As a contrast, an article by Salah Bachir entitled ‘*The rich get richer” takes up more space. For the chevron to give so little publicity to this team is, in my opinion, criminal. The chevron is, supposedly, the student’s newspaper. 1 am sure that many more people feel that the basketball team should be covered more extensively than it is (even at the expense of such earth-shattering news as was presented by Mr. Bachir). If you can’t think of how to expand your coverage, may I offer some suggestions. An interview with Coach Don McCrae or some of the more prominent Warriors (Hadwin, Darcie, Brill-Edwards etc.) would be great.

!n order to make the discussion on the p~~litical principles of the supporters of communism meaningful, I have had to explain. in my previous letters, some essential facts about the social sys!em they want to achieve in Canada. I have had to explain. first. on Jan . 20, !978, that the Marxist type
of socialism is an oppressive formation not because some of the people ruling the state are bad, social imperialists, capitalist roaders or whatever, but because thk logic of the system does not allow any other solution. Sqcond, I have had to explain and show an example, on Jan. 27, 1978, that what is written in the Scriptures of Marxists may be interpreted in an optimistic way, but the real situation is much harsher than the rosy dreams. Third, 1 had to show that their praise of the victorious proletariat is based on confusion of terminology. Now, 1 may answer their letters and questions. First, I shall comment on a letter signed “a worker.’ (the Chevron, Jan. 20, 1978). There is hardly a better argument showing that Marxism is actually against progress than this letter. In the quotation from Engels you may read that “machinery becomes the most powerful weapon in the war of capital against the working classq’ . Therefore: If we want to live better, have more freedom, less worry about tomorrow - no more machinery! The author implies that if one worker in U.S. industry replaces 1500 workers using simple tools, those 1499 remain permanently unemployed. In other words, according to him, U.S. must have now 99-93s rate of unemployment. Is this true’? There is unemployment, and even high unemployment, but much lower than 99.93%. Displacement of people by the machinery therefore causes redistribution ofjobs and workers into other areas of the economy. This is a con&oversial and complex proces, often resisted by producers because it means an extra load, and resisted also by workers who must be retrained. Much has to be done: but the essential question Ki whether the change of the social system will help. Communist countries have the same problem, but they solve it in a different way. They keep people by force in agriculture, as in Russia. Russians have more than one third of the working force in agriculture. One of the reasons for it is that they simply do not have otherjobs for them. There is useless production as well. For example, the East Europeans produced for long time huge iron wheels in one factory, transported them to another place and melted them down. This is a real example foi which 1 know a witness. They also send all young men for two or three years into the army. That is a frustrating experience. 1 was there. They may invite anybody anytime into the army, and solve the unemployment problem. They also do not allow free movement of the workers and keep them by hrce on the job. That was also my personal experience. Sometimes, around here, I hear that even if ecerything is wrong with communism, it at least has full employment. Such full employment is however often unproductive and frustrating. It also does not allow sufficient and fast development of the economy. But now, back to our problem. The development of machinery has enabled this continent to feed many more people now than anytime before. How many people will be able to survive without machinery? One quarter, one half of the population’! Higher intellectual level of production has several consequences. One of them is that working hours became shorter, from upto 18 hours in Marx time5 to our legal limit. The children’s work, so common in last century, has been eliminated. 1 have an interesting quotation from Marx as an example of this (Capital vol. 1, p. TT8, kfacsimile of the edition of 18891: ‘bWilliam Wood, 9 years old, was 7 years and IO months when he began to work. He “~-a~i mould\” (carried ready-moulded article\ into the drying room, afterwards bringing back the empty’ mould) from the beginning. He came to work every day in the week at 6 a. m . . ;mci left offabou~ 9 p.m. “I work till 9 o*clock at night six days in the week. 1 have done so seven or eight weeh\.” Fifteen hour\ of labour for a child 7 ycarb old! J. Murray. 12 year\ of age. says: ‘LI turfs-iiggcr. and iun rn~~~ilcis. 1 cqmc at 6. Sometimes 1 come ai 4. 1 u~orkcd all night la\t night. til! 6 o’clock thi, morning. I have not been in bd since the night before last. Thert> were eight or nine other boy\ working la\t night. All but one h;ive come thi\ morning. I get 3 \l~il!ings and sixpence. 1do not get any more for work-
ing at night. 1 worked two nights last week..’ That is what Marx meant by the exploitation of proletariat. Due to the introduction of machinery, the intensity of labour decreased as well. Ldarge numbers of workers were, until very recently, digging by spade the ground and replacing the soiI. This was a hard, exhausting, crippling work. As a young doctor in the hospital, I used to treat old workers exhausted by long years of hard work with a spade, their joints, backbones, hearts and lungs. They have been replaced by machinery. Thanks God for that! With a- propel retraining program, appropriate social adjustment and help, the boring, inhumane and exhausting jobs can and must be replaced by machines. This is also true for postal workers replaced by automatic equipment. Sorting mail is a boring job, destroying the mind. The third consequence of the introductibn of machinery may be shown e.g. by a quo&tion from Loebl (Humanomics, p. 34): “When shoes were produced solely by manual labor, the production of one pair of shoes (including the work of the farmer, tanner, and dyer, ets.) required, say, sixty hours of manual labor. In buying a pair of shoes, then, a customer was paying the equivalent of sixty hours worth of wages, plus extra for taxes and profits. In contrast, a consumer in the United States in 1971 could purchase a pair of shoes for the equivalent of six hours (average) worth of wages, plus the addition of taxes and profits.” The purchaser, in other wor&, gets fifty four hours of labor free of charge. This is primarily due to the application of science to the productive process. Even though the producer continues, as he always has, to make a profit, the consumer gains as well. This is typical for any economy based on applied science. Loeb! calls this “lucroactivity of the science”, This is why the poverty which was the burden of the mankind for milennia may finally be eliminated. This is also the reason why the KGB agents are now hanging around us. They want to know the secrets of the affluent society. There is just one secret: Utilization of the work of many brains for the advantage of the society. In their system, everybody has to wait for the word of the leaders. The leader orders a Great Leap Forward - and let’s leap, Comradey! Unfortunately, the quotation from Engels which “a worker” used shows that the word of the leader is usually not very useful. S. Reinis psychology
1 wish to express my dissatisfaction with the coverage given to the societies on campus.
It has been said that traditionally Math Society meetings have been boring. 1 must apologize ifour meetings are not as humourous as FASS, as exciting as the ELP concert, or as appealing as the PI-OX column. The fact remains that these are important for the running ofthe society. It is also obvious that OUI meetings are not as boring as the Federation meetings and you still cover them. 1 would also like to take this opportunity to thank you for printing JJ Long’s articles on the society. It is surprising to notice thaT JJ was not a reporter with the paper and he was the only p?rsoil who was interested enough to let the students of this campers know what wa\ going on in this society. 1 am disgusted that the student newspaper on campus does not print more campu5 news.
I would also like to hnow what happened to the series of articles on the societies that you slarted last term0 This one the best seric\ that has ever been printed in your p;ipcr. It is a shame that you no longer print tkm.

In the February 17 edition of the chevron Salah Bachir criticized Randy Barkman fol not covering both sides of the McMaster dif ferential fee situation. Yet in the same pape Bqchir wrote an extremely one-sided articlt entitled “The rich get richer.” This “busi ness analysis” was a comment, and shoulc have been labelled as such. It should alder have been voted on by the chevron stai before being used, as is customary with :ii comments. This is not surprising though, as the Feb ruary 17 paper had other comments in the guise of ieis articles. These were. **EL; exam flunks” and “Matthews - High P~-iek of Cutbacks. ” The first was not brought tl. staff for a vote of approval, and the seconc was seen by some of the staff only after thL paper was laid out. What’s happening here’? One last point. How has that figure o 250% been arrived at to describe the increase in visa students’ tuition? According to the university calendars, tui tion for residents has increased from $624.8( to $725.00, in increase of 169. Visa student: tuition has increased from $624.80 tc $1515.00, an increase of I42%. Also $1515.00 is 109% greater than $725.00. SC where does this figure of 250% come from’. Christopher Dufaui

from page 20 Beacock claims that Mrs. Karner’s conclusions should be ignored because she is bitter. She certainly has the right to be bitter. She stood at the end of Edwin St. on November 17 trying to get the chance to talk her step father back to his senses. The police prevented her from going tb her father, prefering to handle it their way. Their way resulted in Milojkovic’s death. But for all this, Mrs. Karner is not bitter. Not, at least, about her father’s death. However, she was sickened by the inquest’s effort to build up an iron-clad case damning her father and brushing aside inconvenient facts. 4) Syd Brown’s testimony scarcely touched on “when, where and in what manner Miloslav Milojkovic met his death”, which was the inquest’s official function. Instead, his testimony did a lot of promotion for tactical squads “in every major city”, and in Kitchener-Waterloo in particular. All of this was based on his assertion that tactical squads bbserve and protect” the people, a claim Beacock supports, but which is denied by experience with tactical squads here and in the U.S. * 5) The coronei;.‘s concluding remarks simply distorted facts of the case, like the fact that Milojkovic did not fire a shot at anyone. 6) Concerning Mrs. Milojkovic’s call to the police about her intoxicated husband, I’m not relying on her memory. The inquest heard tapes of her calls to the police. They clearly show that Milojkovic took up his gun only after the police told him they were coming to his home. After he got his shotgun he did not threaten Mrs. Milojkovic with it, but instead went directly outside to meet the police. I did not say that Mrs. Milojkovic was not threatened by her husband. She was, and she called the police because of that. But there were no firearms involved in the domestic dispute between Milojkovic and his wife. 7) I have no comment on what Barens should have done when faced by Milojkovic. It is simply absurd to reduce the entire case to that one moment and ask “What should Barens have done‘?” My point is this: The inquest was intended to prove beyond a doubt that Barens’ action was just,. to heap all the blame on Milojkovic, praise the tactical squad, and promote stricter gun-control as the solution to probbms such as this, relying on the lie that guns in the hands of the people are the cabse of such incidents. This is what the inquest did. With Beacock’s factualy errors corrected, I’d like to similarly despatch his political rantings. Beacock says he “chokes” on the description of Milojkovic as a ‘&worker” and the ci’own, coroner, police, etc. as the “state”. One reason why he has this infirmity is that he is a political science student. The political ‘&science” of the bourgeoisie does everything to cause confusion about workers and the state, and even to deny that they exist. For example, under the fanciful teachings of this “science”, workers have been replaced by masses of capitalists who bask in affluence. (See S. Reinis’ letter to the chevron of Feb. I7 for a f&blown enunciation of this view.) Naturally none of these bLscientists” would consider working for a few years at Canadian Blower (where Milojkovic worked from 1963 until his death) to test their hypothesis. Similarly, political Lbscience” distorts the nature of the state. Here is what Beacock, this diligent student of bourgeois political “science” , says about the state: The state is the people and has no interest in suppressing itself. The state’s attitude is that ‘bif enough people want a different type of state. so be it.” Furthermore, members of tactical squads, like Barens, are not instruments of the state, and do not suppress the people. But within the space of three paragraphs Beacock completely reverses his thesis, admitting that “tactical squads are there to protect the state against dissident insurgents’. who want to change the political system, and asserting that this is the state’s right. Following the words of this ignoramus. changing the state could be accomplished simply by the people’s deciding to bbwant a different type of state.” This might? however. create an identity crisis among the tac-
tical squads, since they at one and the same time are “not instruments of the state” but “are there to protect the state against dissident insurgents”. Perhaps the problem could be cleared up by having the tactical squad turn their guns on themselves! But Beacock’s nonsense aside, several pbints should be clarified. I described Milojkovic as a worker because he was a member of the working class and because the antiworker bias of the state officials was only too obvious throughout the inquest. I called the coroner, attorney, police, forensic science experts, et al, the state because they are the administrative instruments used by the ruling class, the rich minority of capitalists, against the working class and people. The dichotomy between those two classes, and between the state and the people, was strikingly evident at the inquest into the death of Mike Milojkovic. Larry Hannant
Imposture at large The Wahlsten letter of January 20 criticizing Shih K’ang-ti’s letter in “feed-back” in chevron January 6 shows Wahlsten a triple lier. Wahlsten wrote Shih said Mao Tsetung was a liberal, yet Shih K’ang-ti said no such thing. Wahlsten then said both Shih and the Anti-Mao groups were talking about Marxism-Leninism in its relationship with democracy. This also is an out and out lie which Wahlsten used as he wanted to talk about democracy in his letter. Finally, when Wahlsten gets around to talking about Marxism-Leninism and democracy he not only quotes Chairman Mao out of context but distorts the real Marxist-Leninist position. Wahlsten quoted Mao’s On Correct Handling of Co$radictions amng the People which talks about democracy but Wahlsten left out the first portion of this section which greatly alters its practice. Secondly, Wahlsten’s quote of Mao is quite deceptive as he infers from it that no other class other than workers and peasants have rights, whereas in fact all the people have their rights protected providing they don’t conflict with the the progressive classes. The most shameful lie Doug told was not included in his letter. Last year students of UW fought against the Federation of Students for a free student chevron. Even Wahlsten gave the impression of this. Now this year he tells you “freedom” (including that at-the free chevron) is only meaningful when he is the dictatorship of what students should put in the paper. Throw this fake out and free the chevron! Ms. Avanti Pop010
Long live Anita!?,! Who is this cast of demented atheists criticizing the Anita Bryant interview in Today’s Student’? Both are members of the notorious Pequegnat Collective, a local hangout of assorted low-lifes. Hiding under the name of Wiz Long is Ms. Marvel, recently implicated in a pieing at her Home and School Association. Hiding under the name of Joe Szalai is Howard the Duck, a selfproclaimed anarcho-nihilist. I write this letter to provide some sanity and perspective in the matter. My tale is a sad one. As a child, I was bitten by a homosexbal. I found the experience so agreeable that shortly thereafter I enlisted in the Gay Liberation Commandos. Soon, I too was out “recruiting”, as we say in gay slang. I would conceal myself behind a tree at night-time. spring upon an unsuspecting passerby and bite him soundly on the neck. It was a rewarding life: or so’it seemed. But eventually the late nights took their toll. My teeth began to lose their lustre. Some even fell out. Was it just old age, I wondered, or was it . . . the WAGES OF SINql’> ...
Then one fine day as I was sorting through my hate mail, I came upon an evangelical tract describing Anita Bryant’s Homosexual Redemption Centers (HRCs). Eagerly 1 read how cases even worse than mine had been saved by the correct application of evangelical science. But did I dare to hope that redemption could be mine?‘?? Being basically of an optimistic nature, and thinking what the hell, I sought out the nearest HRC and turned myself in. Many techniques of redemption are used in an HRC. But, for those like myself with an uncon&ollable horror of anything normal 01 decent, the technique of choice was “progressive desensitization”. Stripped of the mumbo-jumbo, this means that I was exposed to progressively more normal and wholesome situations, until I could actually watch home movies of a wedding without either barfing or laughing myself silly. When I reached this phase, I was allowed passes outside of the HRC, although I still wore at my waist a beeper connected to HRC headquarters. During the final phase, we were given intensive instruction in crocheting doilies and in baking cupcakes. The idea here was that eventually we would reach a stage where the once-awesome energies of homosexual lust could be transformed into more wholesome ends by the simple manipulation of crochet hooks or baking utensils. And indeed that has been my experience. When I find myself in times of trouble, if I am at the University, I retire to a washroom cubicle and do some work on my doilies (since the baking utensils are too cumbersome to transport). And to those of you who insist on defacing these places of solitude with such asinine comments as “Anita Bryant is Citro-sexual” (and even worse) I have nothing but the utmost pity. Thanks to this woman’s righteous struggle, my teeth have been saved. And to last week’s pair ~of demented atheists I issue this warning. Repent now!!! Or I will not hesitate to retaliate with any means at my disposal, including my arsenal of deadly cupcakes!!! Yours in retribution, Jim Parrott P.S. To those of the H Persuasion: Remember, dear friends, that redemption is as near as your nearest HRC.
On ISA
The programme for the ISA fot- the whole semester was planned at the)second executive meeting of the semester which MI-. Chindaya attended and voted in. At that meeting we also decided on Monday afternoons as a good time period to meet. (Anyone from the Turkish Students could testify to this as we often carried our meetings on through their time slot in the World room.) Further two public notices were pl&ed in the Chevron and one in the Gazette advertising the meeting. We also held three public meetings which were widely advertised. Mr. Chindaya could not find his way to any of these meetings to ask when executive meetings were held or to tell us of his disapproval of our actions. But to all this Chindaya writes ‘*those of us who were not in Bachir’s cabal. were deliberately left out because we refused to rubber stamp his actions.” Not only have we shown this statement to be a complete lie but it is also quite a revealing one of why Chindaya, Smit and others attacked the ISA. What actions did the ISA participate in: 1) Open letter against a 250% increase in tuition fees for foreign students. 2) Open letter from ISA and other International student organizations against the anti-immigrant bill, Bill C-24. 3) a meeting against racist attacks 4) a meeting in support of the struggle of the Zimbabwean people led by Zimbabwe African National Union against the Fascist Smith regime S) A holiday party at Christmas time. This is what “Bachir and his cabal” were up to. On all these questions, meetings etc., Chindaya did not put up one pbster, research one item, or even come to one of the meetings. Not only that, but also this is what ‘bBachir and his cabal” were elected to do by a margin of over 4 to 1 over Mr. Chindaya. The only actions of this self-appointed president have been to write letters against these same people who are fighting against differential fees, against racist attacks such as Bill C-24 etc., Not one word has he uttered on these crucial questions. It is on these stands that ISA vigorously fight against racist attacks, against differential fees, and support the national liberation struggles such as that of Zimbabwe that people such as Smit and Chindaya have attacked us:
tions The International Students Association would like to clarify certain distortions in the letter from the Carribbean Students Association and the letter from Yahya Chindaya signed “ISA president” February 3, 1978. First, ,the argument that the ISA is operating unconstitutionally. This concoction used by Chindaya, Smit and his supporters has never been backed up, because it can’t be, it is a straightforward lie. The logic of these people is that if you keep asserting something people will believe it. According to the constitution of ISA section 4.3.3. the “executive committee shall have power to call General Assembly of The Association”. On December 5, the day that Salah Bachir resigned as ISA president, the executive, including Yahia Chindaya, decided to convene a general assembly on January 10 to elect a new president. The only debatable point in the constitution is whether the executive had the powel to appoint Aberra Makonen as interim president. But this point is dilatory as the interim president only lasted until the election and never carried out any programme that the executive had not previously agreed to. On January 10, 1978 Aberra Makonen was elected ISA president. (the vote was 20-O-0, that is after Chidaya and his 8 supporters left the meeting). Second Argument; Chindaya claims he did not know where the meetings of the executive were held because “Bachir and his clique” did not inform him as he would have opposed their actions. What is the truth in this matter’? Chindaya unable to use deseption by twisting the constitution has to resort to outright lies.
Smit, who supports both differential fees and.Bill C-24, had the gall to come to an ISA general meeting and tell our members that bbwe can’t be political” (that amounts to why don’t we just dress up in all those pretty clothes which you see international students wear and dance.) The whole motive behind the line that we can’t be political i: to tell International Students to lie down and submit before attacks such as Bill C-24 etc. The executive of ISA was elected on the mandate that it fight differential fees. bill C-24, racist attacks etc., and to support national liberation struggles all ovel the world. This is our mandate and this is the programme that we will carry out. ISA

It seems that I have progressed from the “mental midget” level as described by the Kiieb family, to the “eternal” God-like level, as described by “Buffalo Tom” Cody. I suppose that I should grant my enemies full and unequivocal pardons. Lest one think I am blasphemous, I’ll put ail kidding aside and admit that I do submit to a higher authority. Call that authority God or a supreme being or whatever. However it seems that some paid chevron staffers have no such belief and consider themselves to be the supreme authority. This is evident in their attitude, as they seem to be defending their own, rather than the students, basic interests. 1’11admit the paper has some good points. The problems aren’t so great that a new editor and more volunteers couldn’t solve them. Perhaps now 1’11 get denounced by some big personality in the AIA, such as Saiah Bachir. I shouldn’t be greedy though, as many other people may desire the honor and be more worthy of it than I. I guess I’ll be content to remain a member of the 2200 person conspiracy. J.J. Long
uit cryin In a letter two weeks ago, Jack Kiieb (from the text, it’s obvious that he wrote it) called John Long and me “mental midgets”. He then wetit on to say that I was “totally devoid of character and humility”. I should think that supposedly mature students wouldn’t resort to such childish namecalling. Such statements only speak for his inteliegence (or lack of it). To get a background to these issues, one should read the report on the council meeting in the Feb. 10, 1978 edition of the chevron. In the article, Jonathan Coies was beside himself, and reported the meeting pdiriy accurately. What he did not say (no fault, he can’t report everything) was that I fully supported the MSTA’s demand that, because the apartment complex is on campus, it should not be taxed. In fact during the meeting, I pointed out that the map on the wail in the board and senate room showed the complex to be on campus. (take note, Burt) Another MSTA point I supported (aithough I did not speak about) was the case of shoddy construction. While I agreejhat the residents shouldn’t have to pay for this, I don’t think the rest of the University should either. However, I think neither the MSTA or the University has a hope ofgetting a cent out of either Cadillac-Fait-view, or Queens Park. In the light of these necessary repairs, i suggested that some ofthe residents be hired at $3 or $4 per hour instead of union employees at 5 15 or %20, but was told that this would not be allowed. So much for worker\ being allied with students. The remark about children which \eern\ to have annoyed Kiieb so much was not exactly made by me. It was put forward by the speaker in a is-this-what-you-mean’.’ tone of‘ voice. Rather than elaborate. I \impl’y \aicl “yes”. What I did and still do ob-ject to i\ the demand for subsidized everything (including rent, food and even dryers. etc. . . .) by peopie just because they have children. Since the ciecision to have a child restb.with the
couple, they must take full responsibility for it, including financial planning. My main objection to the MSTA’s demands stems from the fact that the rents for appartments in the complex have increased only 37% since 1970, while the average rent for apartments in general, has gone up 77%: The university gave the MSA tenants a toogood deal in the past, and it must now catch up. Where was the MSTA when the-university was slipping into debt by not raising their rents‘? Why were they not calling for rent increases in line with their incomes, then‘? I would suggest to you Mr. Kiieb, that you put yourself in the UW financial planner’s shoes instead of looking at the issue from such a self-centred point of view. Then you might see the reasons behind the increases, and not embarass yourself with such childish name-calling. Stephen W. Coates Co-op Science Councillor
Despite feedback letters by several staff members, including myself, about the miserable chevrons we have been faced with this year, there has been little improvement. The paper still reflects an unhealthy and small minority political viewpoint. (guess who) While such political patronage is an embarassment to those who are associated with the chevron, wor&e still, it discourages new recruits, and makes for a down-right poor paper. Two weeks ago (for which this letter was originally written) the paper might have been half-readable, had news articles, and comments be handled with the interest of the average students in mind. On production night, editor Neil Docherty said that there was a shortage of copy (ie: news, features, etc.). To alleviate this problem, Mark McGuire brought forward a graphic done by Chris Dufauit, and pointed out that there was a backlog of Prose & Poetry, (partially because it was cut from the issue of Feb. IO) entertainment and CUP news. Instead of using some of this backlog Docherty finished a comment he was writing about Burt Matthews and put this in. During paste-up Thursday, it became apparent that there was a shortage of space, and something would have to go. Production manager John Bast edited an article about the “AIA Chaiienge” (titled: China after Chairman Mao) to save space, but Docherty, and the few other staff around at this time (guess who) would have none of this, and insisted that something be pulled. a Neither Neil Docherty’s comment about Burt Matthews, nor Salah Bachir’s comment about corporate profits could go, or even be editted. Nor could the massive “news” storji a-bout the Hamilton meeting about differential fees be trimmed. Instead. the graphic of Chris Dufauit’s was pulled. Now what’s going on here? Why are student-related submissions held back? Comments are supposed to be passed by staff vote. Why do Neil and whoever else happened to be around at 4:00 am take it upon themselves to break policy’? Furthermore, to accomodate Saiah Bachir’s tables, some advertising has to be put on page 3. Advertising should never be on IYage 3. Then Mark McGuire asked Docherty about his comment on Burt Matthews bypassing staff. he said “I was thinking of showing it around to a few people”. He actually believes that the majority ofstaffsupport his actions. While I’ll admit that his comment was well researched. but I don’t like him or any body else breaking policy at almy time. 1 must point out that Neil showed the comment to every staff member who came in on Thursday, and would have pulled it if a m;!jority ob.jetted, but none did. Neil Docherty isn’t the only one to blame f0 r poo I- i s \ ue \. however. News editor Jonathan Cole\ has allowed the most glaring examples of shoddy -journalism to pass for news. The article titled “Foreign Student\ Oppose Tuition Increase“ (Feb. 17) was one of the worst pieces of garbage I’ve \een in year\. The article take\ up 4Ocoiumn inches.
and hasxnothing to do with students at the University of Waterloo. This took up almost as much space as UW student news in the rest of the paper combined (42 inches). Furthermore, the article was badly written. Of the 40 inches, 27.5 were “The speaker said. . . Th.e speaker cited.. . The speaker said . . . The Speaker concluded. . .*‘. Twenty seven and a half inches of rambiings and the “reporter” did not even say who this speaker was. In keeping with tradition, the attendance was not reported, and we must assume it was small. The article lists five political groups who participated, including the CPDC (Campus Proietariate (Commarades and Kifraft) Disruption Committee) (chuckle!) only one of which was based in Hamilton. The article ended with the statements that one member of the McMaster students’ Council and one member of their Graduate Student organization, also opposed the increases. So is this the “massive” McMaster student support’! Now, iettitor, before you start namecalling, I don’t support differential fees, but I am even more strongly opposed to using them as a cover for publication of the biased and sioganistic rhetoric of this mysterious speaker. Who was he anyway‘? To print his speech at advertising rates would have cost $110. Such journalistic incompetence is not confined to this last issue by any means: The week before, Donna Burt submitted a write-up on the Waterloo Christian Feiiowship for Feb. 10th’s issue. This was witheid by Coies due to “lack of space”. However, there was no lack of space to print Larry Hannant’s extremely biased comment. While the WCF event involved several WW students. Hannant’s comment had nothing to do with students at ail. When will you people get it into your skulls: this is a student newspaper, and student news MUST HAVE PRIORITY. The WCF article didn’t make it in last week’s paper because CoIes lost it. Some news editor! What a way to treat a new reporter! Student news exclusion is not new: I listed several cases in a feedback letter printed Jan. 20. But no response, explanation, or better still, apology has yet been printed. In the iettitor or response, I would like Coies or Docherty to explain why such student news was excluded in favour of non-student news. Along with this exclusion, by passing of democratic staff votes has beeen done with several articles. The article on Rhodesia, which did not relate to any campus event at ail, and which Docherty claims was passed by a majority of staff (Lettitor, Jan. 27) was in fact seen by only 7 staff members (out of over 40) ail of whom voted yes. The “News Analysis” by Saiah Bachir, (printed Jan. 13) was a comment not voted on by staff. It seems hypocritical that some of the people who claim to stand up for democratic principies so often sidestep democracy. Another example of the deterioration of the chevrons from past issues, is in the absence of the writing of some of the best journalists the paper had seen. The free chevrons of 1976-77 contained many excellent articles by Vai Moghadam, but where is she now’! Nick Redding regularly had 3 or 4 articles in each paper last fail. What happened‘? Earier this year, Vai asked Abel-a Mahannen of the ISA, and Neil about covering an ISA meeting for the paper, and both thought it was a great idea. She was sick on the night of the meeting she intended to cover. so she covered the next one, a week later. Much of the meeting’s discussion ~/as about the CLII‘rent Christian vs Marxist debate, although there was some talk about the upcoming ISA week. During the meeting, several ISA members said that if the AIA weren’t invited to speak. during ISA week, they would disrupt the meetings. Before she could write the article. Mahannen called Docherty and asked him to not run.it. After Neil told this to Vai, she decided not to write it, but changed her mind aftei some other staffers urged her to do so. When the article wab finished, it put both the ISA and the AIA in a bad light. so \ome chevron st:kff members objected to it. and it was held back. At a later staff meeting, Vai w;is criticized for writing it. The chevron has lost a good &~iii-nalist. . I,ast December. Nick Redding pre\ented ;I case for the removal of Jonat ban Coles as
news editor, because of his incompetence. His case cited a list of news articles written by Coies, which was much shorter than Nick’s own, and listed several ciuties of the news editor, which Coies couldn’t or didn’t do. and was supported by staffer Jayne Poilock. The staff meeting begarr as a discussion of the lack of competence of Coies, but the discussion was changed to the subject of the paper itself. The non-confidence motion was brushed aside and not voted on. Nick was called by some people (but not Neil or Jonathan) an anti-communist, reactionary. etc. Another top journalist was lobt (temporarily) and the miserable issues this year are witness to this. Nick wasn’t the oni>’ person to get roasted at staff meetings recently . During the Feb. 21 meeting Docherty frequently called Mark McGuire a “prima donna” and often referred to a “Barkman Reactionary Clique”. Coies regularly called his adversaries “asslickers”. Although I was spared such treatment. I might not be so lucky if I brought the above-mentioned issues up at a staff meeting, and this is why I have written this letter instead. And iettitor, please no name-calling or labelling. Stephen W. Coates 3B Applied Chemistry (WT)
Morris Iiyniak and Frank Thompson defended the Pitman Report in the February 24 issue of the chevron, but the KitchenerWaterloo Branch of the Canadian People’s Defence Committee cannot take their efforts too seriously. Neither of these eggheads from the university has read the Pitman Report or the analysis of it by the CPDC or the Joint Committee composed of the CPDC, the East Indian Defence Committee and the West Indian People’s Organization. Iiyniak speculates about “the evidence collected by Mr. Waiter Pitman’:. Little does he know that Pitman’s Task Force on Human Relations undertook no scientific investigation of racist attacks in Toronto. Instead, they interviewed 70 policemen, 5 1 social workers and representatives of social service officials. They also interviewed nazi Don Andrews of the Western Guard (now calling itself the Nationalist Party). The 31 victims of racist attacks they interviewed constituted a small and hopelessly biased sample of the immigrant communities in Toronto. The “logic” of Iiyniak’s argumentation is something to behold. To criticize our view that the Pitman Report is racist, he weaves a web of “inductive validity”, “deductive vaiidity” and ensnares our conclusion in some “allegedly inductivei? valid theoretical framework”, whatever that is. But the criteria for his own conclusion that Pitman is not a racist are extremely simple-minded. He claims to have met the man personally. “From my experience, then. I do not think it is likely that he himself is a ‘fascist’ or espouses ‘racist’ attitudes.” Quite a double standard. The CPDC terms the Pitman Report “racist” for good reasons. which are easy to understand. First YOLI define what is meant by racism. Then you take the Pitman Report and compare it to your definition. if it meets the criteria, it is racist. If it does not, then it cannot be termed racist without further evidence to that effect. We conclude that the Pitman Report is a racist document. It attempts to create a definite stereotype about immigrants from India. It uses ail of the terminology of the racists and classifies human beings strictly according to the colour of their skin. It t-egards Canadians whose remote ancestors lived in India as having their “roots” in “South Asia”. even if they lived for many years in Britain. Uganda, South Africa. Guyana OI Fiji before migrating to Canada. For Pitman. nationality becomes coincident with ’ * I-;lc e * ’ .

Continued from page 22 public places.” Because the Pitman Report is racist, it follows that its principal author and namesake must also have a racist outlook. But this is secondary. Pitman himself is only a minor figure on the Canadian political scene and discrediting him wiil not change the situation much. Our dispute is not with some individual. We are fighting the state and an entire system of exploitation, where racism is used to attack definite sections of the people in order to terrorize them and force them to submit to the most severe exploitation in order to yield maximum profits to the big capitalists. Ilyniak makes one correct statement, that our view of racism and fascism “does not permit any compromise with counterwews ‘. Ilyniak knows what this means, because he Gas at the meeting where we blasted the representative of the racist immigration department, James Cross, in September 1977. In fact, he organized the meeting to provide a forum for this racist. He appears to find the views of Mr. Cross relevant to students, whereas our demonstration against the Pit!nan Report th”at was attended by a delegation from the University of Waterloo he regards as an “irrelevant event”. Then he laments that the chevron did not cover the recent conference on racism at Wilfrid Laurier University just down the road. However, we don’t think he would like this coverage very much. CPDC was there distributing a leaflet denouncing the racist and fascist Pitman Report, and we exposed one of the speakers, Dr. Wilson Head, as a racist. Kitchener-Waterloo is not a very big city. Ilyniak and his friends are likely to see a lot more of us, especially if they persist in promoting the government’s immigration policy and defending racists.

What kind of newspaper do the students at the University of Waterloo want’! Many have refused to support the paper because some of the) articles are written in leftist style. Neil Docherty editor of the chevron came to this University in 1975 and since then he has worked on the chevron as NEWS EDITOR, PRODUCTION MANAGER, EDlTOR. Docherty never was a student at Waterloo or anywhere else for all I know, so one might construe that he could well be somewhat of a career minded opportunist. Not to say that Neil is incompetent because he is not, just somewhat misguided in the pursuit of defending the basic interest of the student. Neil has been a paid member of chevron staff for too long and it’s time fo1 change in that paper. The elections for editor of the chevron are going to take place TODAY. I know of one person that has formally tenured his application for the position ofeditor and that is Nick Redding. Docherty will in all likelihood run against Redding. Redding is not one of my executive hacks, he is his very own. Redding graduated B.Sc. in mathematics from the University of London, and did his masters here at Waterloo. He is currently enrolled in a Ph. D program in computer science. Redding is on the board of directors at the Grad Club and was last years treasurer. He was a writer for the free chevron and continued as a staff write1 throughout last term. Most recently Redding accepted the chair of Board of Entertainment in December and has done an exceptional job in that capacity. The South Campus Hall pubs have been a success, he has managed to bring alternate forms of enterat the Grad Club”, free tainment “upstairs concerts in the Campus centre, strengthen society participation in B.ent, organize and manage the books and filing system, the Blue <jyster Cult on March 10 has occupied him a great deal and B.ent in cooperation with CKMS-FM proudly presents Jesse Winches-
ter on March 17. Artsoc is bringing jazz great Oscar Peterson to the PAC on March 2 I . The Fed-Flicks have gone to double features and will continue to do so. The Federation is also producing “BODY WEEK” which is proving to be the biggest awareness drive on campus. Redding now seeks the position of editor of the chevron. I know he possesses the skills, will, drive and personality for the job. He can make the chevron into a paper that the students at this university will want to read. The staff is drawing up sides and at this point its either man’s game. Bon chance mon amis. Rick Smit
The International Students Association is submitting the resolution by the South Asian Students’ Organisation (SASO) at McMaster University. We are submitting this as a contribution against the administration organ the Gazette and other administration mouthpieces (Randy Barkman in the Jan. 27 chevron’), who have merely repeated lines of the McMaster administration, that McMastel students do not oppose these racist attacks. The ISA is also submitting its resolution to the rally against differential fees for foreign students held at McMater University on Feb. 9 1978. DRAFT RESOLUTION ON ATTACKS ON FOREIGN STUDENTS AND DIFFERENTIAL FEES Foreign students in Canada are being attacked through differential fees and at the same time are being blamed for the various problems facing the Canadian students. For example certain newspapers and government officials have claimed that foreign students are taking away opportunities from Canadian student&n universities, that they are the cause of cutbacks in the education system, that they are the cause of fee increase, and that they are a heavy burden on the Canadian economy. All these accusations are just plain lies. First of all there is not a shred of truth in the argument that foreign students are a heavy burden on the economy. Foreign students make LIP about 6% of all students in Canada, and it has, been established by the President of the Student Administration Council of the University of Toronto that’iiifferential fees charged by the Ontario Government will result in a reduction in the provincial education budget by only 0.4%. Furthermore the Canadian Bureau For International Education found that foreign students live on $355 per month (including tuition fees). This means that at least $3000 per year (excluding tuition fees) is imported into Canada by a foreign student. The Globe and Mail (April 30, 1976) states that in 1973-74 there were at least 10,840 foreign students in Ontario universities and the province pays an average of $2,940 per year per student in these universities. A simple calculation will show that whereas it cost the province $32 million for foreign students education, the total amount brought in by these students adds to over $32.5 million (excluding tuition fees). So when the foreign students bring in more money into the economy than is allocated to them, to single them out as being a burden on the economy and to sight them as the cause of cutbacks in the educational system and rise in tuition fees, is nothing but putting forth a bundle of plain lies. Except for the small number who are able to get work with their study programme, the Immigration laws make it next to impossible for foreign students to take jobs. In addition, most are not allowed to stay in Canada after the compleiion of their studies. Thus the foreign students can only make a smallest dent in the vast army of currently 80,000 unemployed in Canada. How can then foreign students be any significant factor for unemployment’! As far as the loans are concerned, foreign students are unable to get any federal 01
provincial assistance. The only notable exceptions being the CIDA scholarships (Canadian International Development Agency), which assist only about 4% of the foreign students and the Ontario Graduate Scholarships for which only about a handful (at most 50) graduate students are eligible. Further, there are foreign student quotas in the universities. Hence when foreign students are not any significant factor responsible for unemployment and since they don’t get financial assistance in any big way and there are quota restrictions, how can it be said that that they take away opportunities from Canadian students? These attacks on the foreign students are a part of the general campaign of the government to blame the immigrants and international students for all the social economic problems confronting the people. The low-down logic that since foreign students are the cause of the problem facing the Cadadian students in general, they should pay differential fees, is clearly used as a false-front in order to isolate the foreign students so as to divide the students in general. Thus weakening the resistance of the Canadian students against higher utuition fees, educational cutbacks etc. The government claims that public opinion is one of the strong reasons for differential fees for foreign students. For example, Mr. Parrot, Minister of Universities and Colleges in Ontario, said that it is “mounting public concern regarding the cost to the Ontario taxpayers of education of foreign students in our post secondary institutions” that prompted the government to take such measures. The fact regarding the whole matter, however, is quite the opposite. The M.S.U. opposes the differential fees. The Ontario Federation of Students condemned Mr. Parrot’s announcement as a promotion of racism and preclude to an attack on all students (OFS Conference, Ottawa, July 3-6, 1976). Further everywhere that Mr. Parrot went to speak onthis issue the sentiments of the public was against the differential fees. For example, in Waterloo over 300 students staff and faculty gave Mr. Parrot a hostile reception when he visited them last year. Similar hostile receptions greeted him at other universities and colleges across Ontario. We the members of the Sou;k Asian Students Organisation refuse to stand silent to the slanderous accusations and lies, and to the differential fees imposed on the foreign students. Instead we feel that we are duty bound to defend the student interests. We of SAS0 resolutely: I) DENOUNCE THE DIFFERENTIAL FEES AND OTHER ATTACKS ON THE FOREIGN STUDENTS. 2) ‘PLEDGE TO FIGHT FOR RIGHTS OF FOREIGN STUDENTS ON ALL FRONTS AND AT EVERY LEVEL WHEREEVER POSSIBLE AND COMMIT OURSELVES TO DO FURTHER INVESTIGATION AND STUDIES ON THESE QUESTIONS 3) PLEDGE TO UNITE WITH ALL INTERESTED STUDENTS AND ORGANIZATIONS THAT WILL SUPPORT OR PARTICIPATE IN THE DEFENCE OF BASIC 7NTERESTS OF THE FOREIGN STUDENTS.
4) SUPPORT AND WILL UNITE WITH ALL STUDENTS FIGHTING AGAINST THE HIGHER COST OF EDUCATION. CUTBACKS AND OTHER ATTACKS. 5) REFUSE TO COOPERATE OR COLLABORATE WITH ANY AGENCY OR ASSOCIATION WHICIH IS AGAINST THE INTERESTS OF THE FOREIGN STUDENTS AND ALL THE STUDENTS IN GENERAL. On behalf of the International Students Association at the University of Waterloo, I would like to extend our support to all MacMaster students who are fighting the differential fee hike. From our experience at the University of Waterloo we know that these attacks are attempts by the government to split the students in order to attack all students. The Ontario government in calling for the differential fees said that there is “so called mounting public concern for educating the foreign student .” In fact before this call we did not see any such so called “concern”. It was only government officials and certain administration personnel who gave this call. In May of 76 when differential fees were announced in the legislature, students across the province were worried about finding a summer job and a job after graduation: people were denouncing social service cutbacks such as the closing of hospitals etc. Students at UW were denouncing the Ontario Government for increasing the loan portion of OSAP to lOOO$ and cutting grants. At this time DR. Parrott had to flee a meeting of over 300 students staff and faculty when he tried to “defend” his cutbacks. This is the public concern we saw. This attack on Visa Students is not isolated from the attacks launched against all students. After splitting the students by attacking Visa students, the Ont. government hit all students with 100X rise in Tuition, changed OSAP (making it harder for students to receive it and next to impossible fog grad. students) cut university grants which led to increased workloads for all students staff and faculty, and also led to rent increases. While the government tells us that the spending in education and other social XI-vices have to be cutback interest payments on the public debt “can‘t be cutback”, according to treasurer Darcy McKeough. We are told that these interest payments which go mainly to U.S. financiers are “committed expenditures”. In 1972-73 thi$ payment amounted to 480$ million dollars, but in the current year it will be 1.042 billion dollars and by 1980-81 it will be 1.38 billion dollars. Whereas spending in education can afford to decline because the Ontario Government calls it “controllable”. It is clear to us that an attack on Visa students is part and parcel of the attacks on all students and it is in the best interest of all students to unite in defence of their basic interests and to fight such attacks. It is in this respect that we support this rally organised by the organizing committee to found the Hamilton Joint Committee of the East Indian Defence Committee, the West Indian Peoples Organisation and The Canadian People’s (citizens and residents) Defence Commit tee.

The Waterloo mens basketball team take on WLIJ tonight at 8: 15 in the PAC to decide who will go to Halifax as the OUAA West champion. The winner of that game plays the winner of York vs. Laurentian game in the Eastern city on Sunday. The Warriors got there by defeating Windsor 60-57 here last Tuesday. The stats were about equal except that Windsor pulled down 20 more rebounds. Charlie Pearsall also blocked a high number of Waterloo shots. Leon Passmore piayed well in the 1st half and Ted Darcie sparked the team in the late 2nd half. In the second half the Warriors scored only 5 points in the first I1 minutes to Windsor’s 14 points. Ted Darcie then put it together and scored 8 n the next three minutes.
The game was close right to the end but Ron Graham put two foul shots in with 11 seconds to go whit h gave the team a three point cushion. What killed the Warriors were the turnovers , 27 of them to a team which played a zone defence and did not press. Waterloo played a

The Waterloo Wanderers finished off their regular season play with a 4-O win over Woodstock Sunday night. Waterloo got off to a slow start, but goalie Bubbles Preston kept Waterloo in the game until they started rolling. Scoring a hattrick for the Wanderers was MoJo Long, and Barbara Campbell picked up the other, Waterloo goal. Assists went to Lynn Hoyles (I), Kathy LaHay ( I), Bonnie Zagrodney (2). and Mary Campbell (2). The victory put Waterloo into second piace, ahead of Milverton by two points. Waterloo’s record for the season was 15 wins, 7 iosses, and 2 ties. Because of this great feat, (and a real shock to the Miiverton team!) Waterloo plays .the fourth place team, rather than the first, in the play-offs. The semi-finals are a best 3 out of 5 series. The first game is Friday March 3 at 7:00 p.m. in Weliesley. Now, ail you great sport en-
thusiasts, most of your favourite varsity sports have already finished their season, so why not come and support the women’s hockey team. Wellesley is not far away, and we need fans to make our home ice the advantage they tell us it is. Right now I see no advantage in it at all; we have to pay for it! The first fan to come out to the arena could win a prize. This means he will be the first fan ail year long! There is great prestige in that title role. Think about it.
The O.U.A.A. squash finals. were held February 24th and 25th at the University of Western Ontario. The defending North American Intercollegiate champion Western Ontario Mustangs captured the Ontario title for the fourth consecutive year. Overall point totals for the tournament were as follows: Western Its, Toronto 14 l/2, Waterloo 7 l/2, York 4, McMaster 3 l/2, Laurier 2 l/2, and Gueiph 2. The six man teams were divided into three flights, ‘A’, ‘B’ and ‘C’, corresponding to the top two, middie two, and bottom two players on each team. Draws were then made up independently for each flight. In the A flight Warrior Don Brunker defeated D. Malcolm from McMaster 3-O. before losing to Jay Gillespie from U of T. Gillespie ranked 5th in Canadian amateur
squash went on to win the A draw. Waterloo’s other A flighrer De1 Phioman won the consolation final by defeating Ashif Tejani ofGueip1-I 3-2 in a closely contested match. George Krausz of our B flight defeated Dave Bigneii of McMaster 3-0, before: losing to John Uicar from Toronto. Our second B flighter Al Mason outlasted Dave Wilson from Gueiph winning 3-2. Al was outpointed by Western’s Dave @ox in the second round. Western’s Fred Beasiy won the B championship. Warrior C flighter Dave Petroff made it to the semi-finals where he succumbed to Jamie Coutts of Western, 3-O. Bob Murphy of Waterloo defeated Marvin Curry of York 3-1, before losing to John Higginbotham of Western. Higginbotham went on to capture the C championship.
We feel that we are a very hardworking, successful team, and we want to share this feeling with you. We are in this league for the first time, and could win it all. This is a better record than most first year v,arsity teams could boast about. So come on out and give us a yell OItwo. We’d appreciate it a lot more than you would imagine. ---sport
