L Fee Hike

Federation

budget

The Federation Council met for the second time in two weeks on Sunday, March 24. Although the major item on the agenda was the first reading of this year’s budget, of equal importance was a delegation from the Committee for a Fee Hike Strike (formerly the Ad Hoc Committee for a Fee Hike Strike).

Chris Reid, speaking on behalf of the Committee, asked Council for $282.75, claiming that Committee members had spent that amount in promoting the fee hike strike. This figure included: $65 for posters, $187.25 for buttons (less $35 made back in donations), ($53.50 for placards and $12 for paper for leaflets.

In justifying the request, Reid stated that the Committee was, at times, “doing the business that the Federation said’it was doing, but wasn’t.”

Committee members had approached the Federation before the meeting to request funds for a poster and a handout. Neil Freeman, Federation president, claims he was not approached to pay for the Committee’s buttons.

Freeman spoke out against the request, stating that the Committee had wanted carte blanche to do whatever they wanted, and that he refused to give it to them.

Reid replied that he was told that the Committee would be reimbursed for the posters. Larry Knight, Chairman of the Board of dommunications, stated that he had told them that they would be reimbursed if the poster met with Executive approval.

Neil Freeman added that he saw the poster and refused to accept it, that the Federation would be deemed irresponsible if it

Larry Hannant added that the Federation didn’t come up with anything but a procedural argument against holding the fee hike strike while the students did the tangible work.

Freeman stated that it was up to the Federation to keep control of finances, pointing out that the Committee spent more for 500 buttons than the Federation spent for 1000.

Rowe argued that, at that time, the Federation had yet to approve of the fee hike strike, whereas that was when the buttons were needed. The Committee bought its buttons in Waterloo, getting them to the students almost immediately, while the Federation sent to Toronto for them, she added.

Freeman reiterated his complaint that very few members of the Committee had signed the petition objecting to the tuition fee increase and calling for a strike; both Rowe and Hannant disagreed.

When Denise Donlon stated that, to her knowledge, no group had ever been retroactively paid, Rowe stated that the Federation knew all about the Committee meetings and that the Committee had been very open in its dealings.

The initial organizational meeting to support the family was not well-attended: ten people showed up. Another letter was sent. Eventually, about 50 people made pledges and donations.

Lowell Aronoff contacted Immigration Canada. Confirmations were difficult to obtain.

Aronoff was told that the family would arrive in 6 weeks, however he was told this for 4 months.

The Thi farnil-y have had no major problems so far, other than a few mechanical difficulties in their house.

The family is learning English from Jackie Kos, twice a week, and, Aronoff says, they are learning “incredibly quickly.”

“I notice a difference every time I see them,” he said.

The eldest son, Quang, already spoke English and had taught some of the others in the refugee camp.

The other seven children are attending school in Kitchener.

Sawras then asked for a complete breakdown of how much money was going to be spent on the fee hike strike, something that Freeman was unable to supply. D’Gabriel estimated that between ten and fifteen thousand dollars would be spent on the campaign according to that budget.

Sawras has stated that many objections will be forthcoming from the faculty of engineering, however, before the budget gets accepted after second reading, so this figure might change.

The Board of Co-op Services has taken on PEERS, as voted on by last year’s Council, and has set up a Student Day Care Fund instead of donating money directly to the Klemmer farmhouse day care centre.

The former will be receiving $1,800 while the latter will be receiving $500.

The National Union of Students/Ontario Federation of Students line in the Board of External Relations Budget is up two thousand dollars from $4,000 to $6,000, a figure which includes sending delegates to two conferences.

The major reason for the increase is that last year’s figure was too low (the Board actually spent $5,300).

The Ginny Lee Fund (also known as the Emergency Student Loan Fund] line was raised from $1,000 to $1,500.

The fund had run dry twice this year, and it was felt that more money was needed from the Federation.

The campaigns line, which will be increased for the second reading, is to cover the cost of a mail-out which will update the off-campus students on the fee hike strike. Part of this money is to come out of the contingency fund, although part of that money was also slated to go to Optometry.

to Queen’s

McKillop rose to the podium amidst a thunderous ovation.

“Now these are my people,” he said, “this ‘is one of the most exciting scenes I have witnessed in all my years as a student politician.”

He told the gathering of how the fight had to be one where the problems of post-secondary education were brought to the people of Ontario.

“We have a message,” McKillop announced, “let’s make it clear.”

I Joined by another 1000 students from Ryerson, the group made its way to Queen’s Park for the actual rally.

Once there, telegrams of support were read. They came from Alberta, Saskatchewan, Moncton, Sherbrooke and Memorial university in Newfoundland, as well as from the mayors of Ottawa and Thunder Bay, the Ontario Council of University Faculty Associations (OCUFA) and the Social Planning Council of Toronto. ’ Twelve university student unions, two colleges and Ryerson were in attendance, as well as a group of about 60 from UW. Among the speakers

bound the Council to nothing, Sawras made a number of requests on behalf of the engineers. The first dealt with the Co-op Workterm Housing Project.

Under the auspices of Jennifer Hilton, five thousand cards were filled out with the addresses of students on work terms. These cards were displayed on the ENGSOC office walls, where students who will be going on work term can find out about the accommodations in the city where they’re going.

Sawras asked for $604 to cover the cost of last term’s cards, and $2,000 to cover the cost of this year’s cards. He hoped to see the service expand to cover students in other faculties, and felt that the Federation should take it over at that time.

The second request was on behalf of the Bauer Warehouse, which is run by the engineering society.

It needs $285 for improvements which are not covered by the $174 collected in membership fees. Sawras pointed out that 87% of the time the garage is in use, that the figure asked for was lower than he expected the improvements to actually cost and that, to raise its fees, Bauer Warehouse would price itself out of the market.

The final request was that the Federation take up the cost of the engineering society’s course critiques which amounts to $500 per term.

The Administration used to administer the critiques, but EngSoc took it over. Sawras was hopeful of having a campus-wide course critique administered some time in the future.

All will be decided after the second reading of the budget, which will take place at the as yet unscheduled next Council meeting. ha Nayman

was Mayor John Sewell of Toronto. The crowd began by booing, but relented when they heard his supportive stand.

Sewell encouraged students not to feel guilty for something the government is to blame for.

John Sweeney, Liberal colleges and universities critic, said he has asked Minister Stephenson if inBette creasing the fees was not a burden to students. Her reply was that “students aren’t paying enough yet.” The crowd proceeded to yell for action and an election to be called.

NDP critic David Cooke echoed Sweeney’s sentiments saying that the OFS deserved “unqualified support” for the rally. The written statement added that there is a decline in the quality of education, inadequate student aid and limited accessibilitjr.

I&mentioned a “dangerous change in government policy” in introducing autonomous fees.

added that accessibility may be limited by higher tuition fees. Smith called for both funding and tuition increases, and for OSAP to keep pace.

The main attraction was Ontario Premier William Davis. After the loud chorus of boos died down, Davis stated that he has “been on these steps (Queen’s Park) meeting students for 12 years. . . I expect to be on these steps meeting students for the next 12 years.” , Davmeganby saying that he believed universities were . receiving a fair and equitable share and that his government has many financial responsi“I don’t think the bilities. public will be too impressed,” Davis yelled, referring to the rally. “We are the public!” the students replied.

The role of Canadian banks in South African political developments is questioned

by WPIRG-sponsored panel discussion. .

A forum on Canadian Banks in South Africa was sponsored by the Waterloo Public Interest Research Group (WPIRG) ,‘ Canadian University Students Overseas. and the Peace (CUSO), Society last Monday after: noon. Three speakers presented aspects of apartheid in relation to Canadian banking and entertained questions from a small audience..

Professor Ernie Regehr of, Conrad Grebel College gave. some background information on the apartheid system in South Africa which prevents the black majority from having equal status with the white and coloured minority.

The apartheid system, Regehr said, was founded on the Land Act of 1936 which divided the white and Africaans people.

The blacks, 75 to 80% of the people in South Africa, were allotted 13% of the land. The remaining 87% of the land was allotted to the white and colo.ured people.’ (See feature).

The black people were attached to homelandswhich the present Botha government is trying to make into separate nations in order to claim that a white majority exists in South Africa and to keep the division of wealth and power in the hand6 of the white minority.

The ,homelands system makes it necessary to divide the population by race; an act of

replaced it by “the $rogGessive language -~_~~-of multi-culturalism.” He said ---_ that _, the Dutch Reformed Church denied charges of racism but defended a theology of differen-’ tiation according to national\ distinctions.

Because of the, apartheid homelands, they can claim that SouthAfrica is a m&i-national country ‘and white Ldomination can be rationalized.

Stephen Gelb, the co- ordinator of theToronto Committee for the Liberation of Southern1 Africa (TCLSAC) paid ’ particular attention to the needs which South -Africa has for loans from foreign banks. _ Although there has been an arms embargo placed on South Africa by- the United Nations since 1977, Gelb said that arms are still being supplied and foreign loans are needed to pay for them. .Money is also needed to finance the development of energy resources, particularly in the cod and nuclear industries.

Loans-are also despa&tely needed, Gelb added, to @ante economic

banks. They just happen to have their head off@? in Canada. We cannot view them, as domestic institutions: we must view them as transnational.”

Gelb debunked excuses for investments which are normally offered by Canadian banks. The first excuse that he cited was that economic investment liberalizes apartheid policies. Gelb said that in the last fifteen years South Africa has experienced massive economic growth but black unemployment is much higher and the blacks are increasingly being forced to move into rural and impoverished areas. Economic investment does not filter down to the majority of the blacks,

Corporate Research Centre was -highly critical of bank _ loans to South Africa saying, “Loans are the lynchpin of the whole system of apartheid.”

He said that banks “promote a system of neo-colonialism and a cycle of underdevelopment.”

Banks, he noted, contribute tothe debt crisis of the Third and transform a --World creditor/debtor relationship between the banks and the countries into*a political relationship which determines the economic policies of the countries; Robertson stated. that the banks supported repressive regimes “because it is good business.”

He also critic&d the excuse He accused Canadian and : that bank loans go to projects other banks of bringing the /which benefit the blacks such international economy to as the project to electrify the .the verge of collapse.

News:-Shorts

CKMS, the UW radio station, recently completed a random telephone survey of 196 undergraduate students to poll opinions on the fee hike strike planned by the Federation of Students for September. The statement considered by the students who -participated in the survey was: ---__ _ “The Federation of Students is urging students not to pay the increase in tuition fees next year. They are asking students to pay only the same’amount as they paid last year in tuition fees. This is what is known as a fee hike strike. Will ou participate in this fee hike strike in H eptember?”

Of the 196 students who responded, 83 said they would participate, 93 said that they would not and 20 were undecided.

In percentages, 42% said yes, 47% said no and 11% were undecided, By faculty, the Environmental Studies students supported the strike most with 50% of the students saying they would participate in the strike. Math and HKLS both had 44% agreeing to the strike; Arts resnonded 46% in favour and Science students decided 42% in favour.

-Survey Results _ . The results of Imprint’s survey on plagiarism are in. And the main result is that UW doesn’t like surveys.

The turnout for the survey was quite poor, under 1% of the on-campus population.

However, some interesting, but not unexpected results were accumulated.

Of UW student6 responding, 60% have resorted to plagiarism and 80% know of someone else who has. While statistically, the survey is far from representative, a substantial number of students across campus generally see the figures as approximately correct.

When the survey asked how many students used plagiarism, the majority said over 50%. \ Dr. T1A. Brzustowski, Vice President Academic, says he ha6 seen “only a handful” of students in such a situation in his teaching career.

The question on possible penalties showed that 76% of students know of them.

Of those, 65% feel that the regulations as they stand are adequate.

Presently, on assignments, a professor can deal with the problem or refer it to the chairperson of the department.

From there, it can go to an Academic Discipline Committee in the faculty or to the Examinations and Promotions Committee of the Senate. In the case of ‘exams, the Discipline Committee sends a report to President Matthews.

At any of these levels, the process may be stopped by taking action or referred to a higher body. Actions that can be taken include probation, suspension or expulsion from UW. The decision can be appealed to Matthews.

Feds

The Canadian Union of Public Em-ployees (CUPE) local 793 at UW voted nnanimously last Tuesday night to support the Federation of Students specifically and the Federation’s fee hike strike as well.

John Kearsley, the local president said that most members of the local are middle and low income families and are worried being able to send their own children to university.

Kearsley also stated that the local felt that afeasability study should be carried out before fees are raised.

The vote also would support the Federation of any further action it deems *advisable.

Housing Survey

c

What is the biggest problem fo: someone going on work term? Finding 1 place to live. At least that is wha jennifer Hilton, the president of Engin eering Society “A” thinks.

Her main project since she becam! president last summer has been the setting up of a housing list survey. Wit1 the help and support of the Departmen of Coordination and Placement, Engsoc was able to include a survey card wit1 every mark transcript mailed by the Registrar to co-op students of al faculties going on work term. They were asked to fill out the form giving information on the place they lived while on work term and mail the survey tc Engsoc. The many hundreds of formr returned were put on file \and can bc referred to by anyone on campus whc needs a work term residence.

Hilton says the system is workinl well.

Although the survey is nov publicised in the Engineering” faculty already it is known of and used by man] students of other _.faculties.

- .- _ She said that-Peter Hoy, the chairpersor of the Board of External Relations, actin! for the Federation expressed interest in thr programme offered in principle to reim~ burse the society for the six hundrec dollars it has spent on materials already and to contribute one thousand dollar! toward the operation of the survey for the first year, about half the estimated cost. Hc said that the Federation wanted to be sun the idea worked and so would wait a while before assuming control. He also arguec that the Federation would bear only i portion of the costs now because he think! most of the benefit of the survey pro, gramme is presently going to students ir

to be much There doesn’t appear motivation financially for the incidents.

Only 16% responded ‘yes’ when asked if they knew of any exchange of money for plagiarized material.

Brzustowski noted that “the respon; sibility is on the instructor not only to detect plagiarism but. to avoid the conditions leading up to it.”

. Letters Committee feels Fed Pres unfair

movement

.’

I The Editor, Recently the Committee to support the Fee Hike Strike has been unjustly attacked several times by Federation President Neil Freeman.

In the March 7 issue of Imprint Freeman says that the Committee’s motives are “not related to student concerns”. He tries to prove this unfounded statement by saying that members of the committee “refused to sign the Fed petition”. In-fact, one leading member of the committee was very active in circulating the petition, and many other members supported and signed the petition. Others saw this tactic of appealing to the government as futile, a fact which has now ‘been proven by Bette Stephenson’s rejection of the petition, and felt that the time then should be used to organize the fee hike strike.

Similar false statements were repeated by Freeman at the Bette Stephenson rally and reported in the last issues of Imprint and the Gazette.

This kind of activity can only serve to split the students at a time when it is important that students unite to defeat the tuition increases.

We feel that Freeman should make a public apology and retraction of his false statements.

The Committee to Support the Fee Hike Strike was set up as an open committee to mobilize support for the fee hike strike. We have been very active in distributing buttons and leaflets, putting up posters and talking to thousands of students and answering their questions.

Our activities have greatly increased the support for the fee hike strike. Far from being a “rival group” of the Federation (Imprint March 21) we have encouraged students to support all Federation activities in support of the strike and have distributed federation leaflets and buttons.

We plan to continue the work of mobilizing support for the fee hike strike and encourage all students who want to participate in this

The E&tor, We would like to bring to the attention of all students on campus some of the plans the Federation of Students is considering to implement concerning the Fee Hike Strike/ Campaign Against Cutbacks.

Presently the Federation is undertaking a media campaign involving a withdraw1 of $3000 of “surplus” funds from the 79-80’ budget. In consultation with some members of last years executive we feel that the use of any “surplus” funds from last years budget for projects initiated by this years executive is improper. Even though council votes in favour of the motion we feel that council did not have ‘adequate information to make such an administrative decision.

In addition to the amount above, a further $5600 has tentatively been budgeted for a media campaign in the coming fiscal year 8081. The bulk of this amoung ($8600) is to be spent on television commercials. Do you think this amount is justified?

To this date Neil Freeman has yet to give out any figure on the amount of money to be spent on this campain. In the recent survey held in Engineering we see that only 35.5% would agree to the Federation organizing a fee hike strike and only 15% were willing to participate. Considering the amount soley being spent on a media campain, how much is actually going to be spent on the Fee Hike Strike?

Voice your opinions on the issues via your council representatives or to Neil Freeman.

On March 21, 1960 in the South African town of Sharpeville, 69 black South Africans were gunned down during a peaceful proteSt against the racist policies of the South Africangovernment.

Twenty years have passed since the Sharpevllle massacre, but the _ policy of organized racismand exploitation perpetuated by the white South African rulers remains firmly entrendhed... _ The struggle of liberation fotice,s has brcgght justice to ” many of Africa’s ‘countries formerly dominated by white minority rule. The-liber_ation of Zimbabwe and the establishment of democratic elections there is’the most recent example of the important changes being experienced throughout Africa.

Yet, in South Africa a system of rticism and the official policy of oppression -remains. “Apartheid,” ‘racial discrimination in Sduth Africa-is imposed on the ’ _ . majority black population by the po.werful white minority (less than 20% of th’e population).

Enshrined in _ at least,thirteen separate acts of parliament, apartheid denies ,political, social and economic rights to anyone whose skin happens to be black.

The .allqcation ‘of land displays the fundamental inequality of apartheid. Despite comprising over 70% of 1the country’s population, black South Africans hold a total of only 13% of the landarea.

That land, in addition, was selected for the blacks by the tihites, and it comprises some of the most economically valueless land < in the emntry.

Marriage-between races is illegal; black trade unions -are illegal; most skilled jobs are reserved for whites and 5 -uneQual access to educational opportunities - is promoted. .

supplies inadequate, schools and clinics rare. People are harribly crowded with some of the highest population densities in Africa, but home is often no more than a tent., Forced to carry identification passports with them at all times, the movement of blacks is restricted by the white government.

Failure to carry these pass books is a criminal offence for which thousands of blacks are imprisoned each year. As one observer pointedly remarked, “It is a policy of divide and rule that denies Africans the freedom of movement in a land that was once their own.” ’ Opposition to the South African government is met by violent repression but resistance to apartheid continues in South Africa. The 1976 student revolts in Soweto and elsewhere served notice that a new generation of South Africans was prepared not only to act, but to die for their freedom.

The efforts of the ‘government to contain the discontent have proved costly. Thousands of “political prisoners” are detained within South Africa’s prisons (in just one month in 1978 over 600 individuals were arrested), some without official charges against them.

As far away as it may be, the connections to South Africa for Canadians are very real. Since the early 1960's the five major Canadian banks (the Toronto Dominion, the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce,

Despite the liberal ‘rhetoric of Prime Minister Botha, the homelands are Seen as the answer for what his government has variously termed the “surplus,” “redundant” or “superfluous” blacks-that is the unemployed, the old, the sick, the women and the children.The homelands show the cruel truth of apartheid.

According to figures from a Johannesburg weekly, The Star, the per capita income is the lowest of the entire continent and falling still lower. Large numbers of people are totally destitute-malnutrition is universal-starvation is common. Graveyards are filled with

tiny graves of children and babies and an Institute for Social Research Fact Paper, 1974, shows that the once, proud Zulu physique is become small and stunted.

Is there any hope for a more humane future in the homelands?

the Bank of Montreal, the Bank of Nova Scotia and the Royal Bank) and two smaller ones (the Banque Canadiene Nationale and Banque Provinciale) ‘have provided financial assistance to- the South African government.

Such loans have been crucial to the government’s efforts to overcome financial crises which otherwise might have begun to undermine the stability of the apartheid system.

Other Canadian-based corporations have as well continued to maintain operations in South Africa and profit from the inequality of apartheid.

Bank loans and corporate investment in South Africa mean both financial and moral support for apartheid and allow Canada, represented by the banks (and the corporations involved), to stand on the side of the white majority regime in that country.

In responding to questions about their support of the South African government, Canadian banks claim, as the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce did in a recent statement, that “these are strictly business decisions into which political factors must not be allowed to enter.”

Loans simply cannot be politically neutral within South Africa. All major forces worktng to oppose apartheid have called for withdrawal of international financial support to South Africa. Bank loans can only serve to prolong the agony and the racial status quo of apartheid. to the indifference of the banks In response throughout -Canada and other parts of the world, student organizations, trade unions, churches and numerous individuals have protested by writing letters, demonstrating and withdrawing their accounts from banks. In one of the most dramatic displays of support for an end to the bank loans, Dawson College of Montreal decided to withdraw its entire account (estimated to be $25 million) from the Bank of Montreal.

Throughout Holland and the United States similar activities have forced banks to back off their South African connections.

A spokesperson for the banned African National Congress (ANC) in Waterloo last week affirmed in his presentation the importance of these actions. He noted that the South African government is extremely sensitive to international opinion and withdrawal of international financial support is seen gesture of within South- Africa as “an important solidarity with the South African liberation struggle for justice and freedom.”

What One Bank Says The Bank of Montreal has not stopped lending money to South Africa and Chile because it feels no particular purpose would be served by such a move, according to the bank’s vice-president, public affairs.

Speaking in Halifax last week, Dick O’Hagen said the Bank of Montreal has considered “the question of lending money to governments...who are entirely repugnant to us. We have satisfied ourselves or persuaded ourselves for the moment that we would serve no particular purpose by suspending loans to South Africa,” O’Hagen said.

The bank takes a similar position on loans to Chile, he said.

O’Hagen said the banks which have stopped loans to racist or repressive governments have

done so because “they have persuaded themselves it’s not worth the trouble” to defend their actions.

He maintained that bank executives are no less ethical simply because their bank lends to South Africa. or Chile. “There is a higher range of consciousness in the boardroom,” he claimed.

He said that although bank officials are “as outraged” as anyone else at the atrocities committed by such governments, they have to be more realistic.

“It’s a very pragmatic world we live in and people simply don’t stop doing business - especially if it’s profitable business - unless there’s very strong evidence to persuade them to do so.“ From CUP

Only once or twice did she slip a little into melodrama.

Nadia Potts shone as the Swan Queen/ Black Swan. Both her dancing and her rang true. She was particularly . interpretations memorableas the sensual Black Swan, though her last moments as the Swan Queen were hauntingly graceful as well. Too bad her partner wasn’t up to more. The court scenes, during which the Queen, Mother (Lorna Geddes) tries to bully her son, into marriage, ‘..dragged a bit; there was rather too much +sting and cheering. The native dances (czardas, mazurkas, etc.) were quite successful, particularly the dramatic Spanish’dance.

Generally, the corps de ballet did a fine job of the swans. But again, the last scene would benefit from being a little shorter and tighter.

There were almost too many birds flying . around. a, the performance was pretty but rather shallow,-mainly due to the weakness of Schramek’s prince. But the audience clapped like mad. It’s a sign how starved we Canadians are for ballet that every performance by the.

National is treated like a masterpiece. Some of their works really are great and we should be proud of them. But it’s a shame to pretend they all are. In the long run, no one-and certainly _not the public - hill benefit. , ’ Lori Farnham r ‘x’ .

Last autumn when I drove down to!Toronto to see Apocalypse Now, I did it with the knowledge. that Apocalypse Now would be begihning in Kitchener within the week; I did it * because J wanted the full advantage of 7Omm .film, wide screen and quadraphonic sound; I did it out of respect for a craftsman-Francis Ford Coppola-who filmed it to be seen with the big screen and the big sound.

Being the sort of person who likes to have as little as possible foreknowledge of the films I am about to see, I went to Toronto armed. to ‘\ the teeth with hype, with a thousand and one opinions and with a foreboding as heavy as the Friday night traffic through which I had to : struggle.

I felt ambivalent ‘about the film. After so much prior knowledge, I was pleasantly , surprised not to have been disappointed. I loved the technical work, but hated the ending (actually hated the cop out of making more than one ending). I hated the film for the arrogance of its makers who would presume to demand the top prize a Cannes in return for allowing it to beshown there. I think, deep down, I hated Apocalypse Now because it was ten years too late. Where was Hollywood when protesters were being knocked on the nods and tossed in jail? They were making True @it i and The Green ‘Ejerets.

Then along came j The -&ck ’ Starridn, Coppola’s answer to National Veluet. My god,’ I said to myself when I first heard of it, what ’ ever possessed Francis to make such a film? I 1 was skeptical. Perhaps, I:thought, Francis had spent too much time in the tropical sun with 2 -Brando with the result that his mind was now - 1, obese.

I Then I started to hear good things about it.

The plot is remarkably simple-it has been called a children’s movie but don’t believe itboy meets horse, horse and boy fall in love, minor problems, happy ending. It’s a romantic story in that it is passionate, adventurous and idealistic. It is not sentimental.

The ‘most exciting personality on the screen in Kelly Reno who plays the boy who falls in love with the horse. Although this is his acting. debut, he ‘performs exceptionally well and is I ‘:‘ notable for the mime characteristics of his facial expressions.

Mickey Rooney, who 60 years ago began his acting career ‘when about the same age as Reno, delivers a solid performance in support, He has been nominated for an Oscar and probably deserves the nomination, but one has to ask why Reno was not nominated. A kid is just a kid until he can prove himself in more than one role is probably the pat answer. , The plot is adapted from a 1941 children’s i nov@y Walter Farley. The boy and the horse are thrown together by the sinking’ of the ship , they were travelling on. The boy cuts the ropes --’ preventing the horse’s escape:who in turn tows the ‘i boy to a -deserted island (filmed on Sardinia) .

The two continue their symbiotic relationship on the island’ and are finally rescued and : taken home.

Les Lowcock and Steve Madigan, UW students, won the Ontario Universities’ Flying Disc Freestyle Championships held last weekend at Brock University.

Lowcock, 22, a third year honours Biology student, and Madigan, 23, a third year student in Social Work, were the only competitors from Waterloo able to particip.ate in the two day tournament.

The competition was divided into three events Guts, Ultimate and Freestyle.

Guts is a team game and consists of 5person teams lining up in parallel rows, 14 metres apart. The object of the game is to hurl a frisbee through the opposing ranks. It is not a subtle game. Steve _ Madigan calls it “fat man’s frisbee.”

Ultimate also consists of 5person teams. When played indoors it uses the boundaries of the basketball court.

It’s similar to football and netball combined.

The object of the game is to catch the frisbee in the air over the goal line, but one is not permitted to run with the disc.

Madigan and Lowcock competed in the Ultimate competition but as part of Niagara Disc’s team< ‘We do have an ultimate team, but notice of the tournament came too late for team members to relieve themselves of prior commitments,” said Lowcock.

“Included in that (Waterloo’s) ultimate team is the person we consider to be the best allround player in Canada Rimer Mot-timer of Renison College,” Lowcock continued. _._ -

J Both players felt that Waterloo’s team, if it could have been together, would have won the competition.

“No problem,” commented Madigan.

Madigan and lowcock’s efforts for Niagara helped them into the finals but the final game followed immediately after their semi-final game and a combination of fatigue and inexperience with. other team members caught up with them.

They lost by one point.

Freestyle, according to Madigan “is anything you want to do with a disc.” It is free form throwing and catching.

Freestyle is a unique sport in today’s world if for no other reason than this: the competitors are. alsothe judges.

“That’s the beauty of this sport, in that all competitors judge each other,” said Madigan.

Competitors are judged according to variety, difficulty and execution of moves during ’

I --7

a four-minute routine which is done to. music.’

“The best music to use,” according to Lowcock, “is southern rock such as Lynrd Sknyrd.”

Flying disc tournaments are noteworthy for the evident camaraderie amongst competitors.

‘The essential thing. about flying discs is having a good time,” said Madigan.

“There are a lot of tournaments, say in Ann Arbor or Rochester,” Madigan continued, “and the world champion or American champion may be there and he’d take time to show you a few moves.

There’s no real back stabbing in this world. Everyone’s friends and they like to help you out.”

The two champjons are hopeful that Waterloo will be able to host a tournament here in the summer or the early fall.
