the svstem The university libraries will be reaching a decision within the month on whether or not to install an electronic surveillance system. Ninety thousand dollars has been allotted in the latest university budget for a “library book detecdesigned to reduce tion project” the number of books being purloined from the Arts, E .M .S., and Environmental Studies facilities. Such a determination would reverse previous library policy. In 1971, and again in 1973, electronic detection systems were investigated by the library administration, and found to be unwarranted. In a Murray recent statement, Shepherd, UW’s Chief Librarian, said “In addition to the tremendous cost, I would,.and I think most students would, find such a system offensive .’ ’ However, an interview

been escalating losses have rapidly. Shepherd also suspects that much of the stolen material is recently acquired books and journals, which are the most expensive and most utilized of the library’acquisitions. Many members of the UW community might feel that such an apparatus is an invasion of their privacy. Furthermore, some have indicated that such a system does not get to the root of the problem. an economics Dan Suntner, major, claimed that “sometimes you’re almost forced to steal books. One of my Bookkeeping texts costs $35, and that’s not unusual. That’s a book that I need, and lots of other books are as expensive. Who has the money for them all?” Another student who spends long hours researching library materials, asserts that “there’s some

tripled

Foreign students face costly tuition hike Tuition fees for foreign students at Ontario universities are to be almost tripled.. The Ontario government announced on Tuesday that, beginning next January, fees which are now $585 for the two-term academic year will rise to $1,500, and to $2,250 for three terms. The increases will not apply to students already enrolled in programs. Even before Tuesday’s announcement by minister of colleges and universities: Harry Parrott, reaction against the proposed increases had begun totake shape on the UW campus. A spokesperson for the International Students Association said that foreign students were “very upset”‘at the prospect, and that a meeting will be held at 7p.m. next Wednesday (May 12th) in the Campus Centre World Room to discuss the situation. Federation president Shane Roberts told the chevron that foreign students already have a hard enough time financing their education. He predicted that unless some means is found to subsidize foreign students possibly through the Canadian International De-

velopment Agency (CIDA), a significant result of the increase would be that only the financial elite from other countries would be able to study at Ontario universities. Further, he said if the province made this decision unilaterally, it would upset the work that the Association of Universities and Community Colleges (AUCC) and NUS have been doing on working out a .national education plan. Roberts said he would suggest to council at the next meeting that they work with other Ontario campuses to generate some opposition to the policy. Foreign students on visas-the category which would be affected by the increases-numbered 473 undergrads and 290 grads out of a total full-time enrolment of just over 10,000 students at UW (including the Church colleges) last term. There were a further 1493 students of foreign origin, 398 of them grads, but these were landed immigrants who will pay tuition fees on the same basis as Canadian citizens.

GetthgIt won’t be easy for students to land themselves full-time jobs in the Kitchener-Waterloo area this summer, a survey by the chevron shows. And it’s unlikely the situation will improve in the next few months. Asked about their student placement were 11 major industries, two universities, two municipalities, Waterloo regional government and the K-W Summer Job Centre. While some employers said they are hiring the same number of students as in 1975 and a few said they are hiring more, most reported summer job openings are down. As of the end of April, the K-W Summer Job Centre has registered 2,207 students and only I79 have been placed with local industries, says Gary Green of the Canada Manpower Centre. However, Green cautioned about the accuracy of his figures, saying many students who do obtain employment on their own fail to re’port back to the centre so files can be updated. “Most of those registered with the centre are looking for their own ,jobs and probably-most have found them.” He added the best time to assess the unemployment rate among students is to examine the end-of-June figures when all high schools have closed down. The official said employers see students as performing a “particularly unique function” and realize there’s a role for studentsto fill.

zt:job won’t; The best example of the students’ use to employers is their readiness to replace i@ll-time workers on summer vacations, Green said. Another instance occurs in the construction, tourism and landscaping businesses where the summer break coincides with these industries’ peakworkload. “Since the industries need to hire more people for a.short period of time,‘the availability of students is a greateasset to the businessmen.” Last summer, the centre processed 6,200 job applications and placed about 2,850 students or 46 per cent. And the situation ought to improve this year since K-W seems to be a fairly “go-ahead” area, according to Jim Jeffrey, chairman of the summer job committee j which works with the manpower centre. “Although it’ll be a tight job market for students it won’t be as bad as the doom and gloom people are predicting.” In major industries, the job prospects at Seagram distillery “‘don’t look too good” since slack business is forcing the company to close temporarily in July, says personnel director. Merle Glassford. Last summer the distillery employed 50 students. Electrohome which used to hire about 100 students every summer won’t be doing so this year because of massive layoffs in full-time staff, a spokesman said. And the same goes for Babcock and Wilcox of Cambridge where

business is so bad that no students will be hired this summer. About 50 students were on the payroll last year. The situation at B.F. Goodrich isn’t any better as job openings number about 12 and applications are “in excess of 100,” says personnel supervisor Gary Schwindt. Last year there were 23 students employed at the company._ Over 80 applications have been filled at Burns Foods where there are 20 jobs; says spokeman Alan Orth. Last summer the company hired 25 students. At Carling-O’Keefe brewery, there are 50 jobs and close to 400 students ready to grab them, a company official said. He added that preference is given to those with previous experience with the brewery. The situation at Zehrs’ Markets remains about the same as last year where employees on summer holidays are replaced by students who already >work part time for the chain food store. At Lear Siegler, an auto parts manufacturer, ,15 students have been hired and the company has received 80 applications a spokesman said. Job prospects at J .M. Schneider-s are about the same as last year where there are 250 positions, says vice-president Herb Schneider. However, “well over 600 applications have been received and preference is given to employees’ children,” he added. Meanwhile, Budd Automotive is hiring “quite a few” students dur-

Such a move would provide universities with some “flexibility” to meet the costs of achieving their .j objectives, and would make them independent of each other by “diversifying” the sources of income. Some universities “might opt for low fees associated with an emphasis on low-cost programs ; others might finance new and, , costly undertakings through a higher fee structure.“’ the report suggests. On the other hand, there is contern that an increase in fees, even with an adequate student aid program, “might appear to be a disincentive for some students. j “It is widely believed that students from disadvantaged families would be particularly reluctant to assume substantial debts in order to attend university.” The report adds that higher fees could mean that provincial student aid in the form of grants would no longer be adequate. It also points out that fees in most , parts of Canada are generally lower than in Ontario, as are fees ’ for U.S. residents in state systems. ’ While fees in European countries are often low, the number of students admitted to the universities may be controlled, the report says. Thus, “low fees are to some extent a trade-off against accessibility.” If there were major differences in Ontario’s fees from the rest of Canada, the movement of students from province to province might be restricted, the report cautions. “From a Canadian point of view this would be undesirable.” There is also a fear that government could simply change the stan_ dard fee (set by the province) to coincide with what universities charge and deduct the entire amount from grant income, the report says. -dionyx

proposes:

Twofired profs in China

Reading week for all Reading week should be extended to all UW Faculties and inelude alternative educational acti. vites, says student federation head Shane Roberts. These activities won? replace the week now observed in the Arts Faculty and Environmental Studies Faculty so much as they’ll attempt to enrich it, Roberts said in a telephone interview on Wednesday. “Normally, teaching on campus runs on a timetable which militates *against innovative teaching ’ modes.” -And a way to supplement the traditional learning experience is to hold conferences which coincide with reading week so all students can attend. One such example could be to , stage a conference on the challenges facing the scientific community in Canada and have as

many students as ,possible in related programs participate. Roberts said he plans to talk to the university faculty about the proposal but the federation might pursue the matter on its own accord * The president was commenting on reading week after the matter was discussed in great detail at the April university senate‘ meeting. At that session, senators decided to continue reading week despite strong criticism from engineering professor George Soulis. Soulis that the week should be discontinued as an academically function of senate since too many students were taking holidays instead of devoting time to study. He said that when the week was fiit endorsed, “it was intended to allow students a break during their year courses to read and catch up on their work. argued

Professors Marsha Forest and Marlene Webber will wake up this ’ morning in the heart of China. They will make their way to Peking airport, and having completed their three day trip to the Chinese capital, they will fly to Sian. The two professors who are well known on campus as active Marxist-Leninists, and who claim their contracts have not been renewed because of their politics, are members of a Canadian edu_ cation< delegation visiting the People’s Republic of China. The trip, sponsored by the University of British Columbia, includes 24 participants from across the country;most of whom are involved in some aspect of education. They left Vancouver on May 1 and will be spending most of their three week visit looking into China’s educational system. Though full details of the trip were not known last week, delegation leader professor Barrie Morrison of UBC, was confident from the experience of previous trips, that the itinerary would be well suited to the delegation’s interest. According to the schedule they will travel extensively within the country, by both rail and air. The itinerary lists visits to Kwelin and Sian which, according to the organisers, is exceptional because the two cities are seldom included in such trips. Forest is president, and Webber program director, of the Kitchener-Waterloo Friendship Society, which run programs to inform people about China and develop friendship between the two countries. They left with a movie camera, a still camera, reams of film and the promise that they will share their experience with anyone interested when they return.

“Now senate should investigate what evidence there is to show that reading week is indeed used for study. “I’ve discovered on my own that , the usage of the library didn’t increase and there were less cars in the parking lots.” Soulis said more than 400 students spent a week at either Banff or the Bahamas according to the travel agencies. He was countered by Shane Roberts, who said the accusations “stir my blood” as they were based on a “hierarchy of assumptions.” While he admitted that students use the break to take a holiday, most study hard weeks in advance so they can do so. “It’s good for students to take their noses out of their books for a week on the ski slope or a beach as they need an escape from academic pressures.” -john

enjoy being exposed to injury or death, that she could enjoy being treated in a humiliating and brutal fashion is preposterous.” A chapter on rape prevention anticipates the centre’s upcoming handbook on self-defense and self-protection.

Research grants down

~V’Vbudget UW’s income is up by 10.4 per cent this year and is better than was expected vice-president, finance and operations, Bruce Gellatly told the board of governors at its April 27 meeting. The 1976-77 budget is balanced at $73,438,800. Of that $46,121,800 is the government’s grant-up from $39,972,500, a 15.4 per cent increase. When that is added to tuition fees which are estimated to remain stable at $8,657,000 it represents a 12.6 per cent increase in income from grant and tuition fees. This increase is diminished when combined with the university’s other sources of income, such as sponsored research, services to the church colleges, and ancitlary enterprises like-the book shop. SO that the increase in the total operating income is 10.4 per cent. And that will have to sustain the education of about the same number of students as last year, since according ta adstant registrar, Gary Buckley, ~1s projection for 1976-77 enrolment shows only a

up-but

marginal increase-up from 12,714 last year to 12,900. According to the 1976-77 budget there will be “no general‘enrichment”. Indeed the amount of money slated for teaching and research, which accounts for almost 72 per cent of the budget, is only up on last years funds by 0.67 percent. The first call on the increased funds is: +‘o convert July 1, 1975 salary and benefit increases to a full year

-Adjust the budget to a balanced starting position from the deficit of $988 m estimated for 1975-76 -P&id; an allowanck for salary and benefit increases of $3.6 million in 1976-77. Then come the unavoidable c,osi increases, such as a $260,000 hike in the utility bill; a $118,000 increase in unemployment insurance premium rates; and a possible $208,000 extra OHIP payments, if the university decides to pickup the tab from the i&-eases which came down with the provincial budget last month.

The executi& first choice, “The Hydrant”, fell flat in council when only three hands were raised in its favour. The second choice offered was “The CC”, but it lost in a seven to eight vote. Math rep, Bob White, then sug-

gested “the Public Utility Board” as a suitable title. The watering hole could then carry the initials PUB, he explained, and so circumvent the Liquor Licencing Act which prohibits the use of such names by drinking establishments. But that too could not win sufficient favour and fell in a six ‘to seven vote. (As it happens, by grace of a new licencing act passed in January, the word “Pub” can now be used, local licencing inspector, Jim Gilliland, told the chevron.) _ The only other name considereq by council was “The Orange Bomb Shelte?“. The representatives, concerned that the issue was absorbing too much of the meeting, decided to table the mot&n and so consider it at their next meeting. However,, pub manager, Art’ Ram, said he couldn’t wait for the

Whats left after that will be divided among “significant discre tionary increases : -$300,000 =to the academic development fund-up from $100,000 last year, though it is a return to its pre-1973 level. Plus- there is $200,000 in reserve pending a decision on expanding the correspondence’ program. -And overand above the libraries normal budget which has been increased by 10 per cent, it has been granted $100,000 for its program of converting serials to microfilm, plus $90,000 for the development of an improved library security system.

The university has requested govemment funding for the capital costs of this project. . ’

CC pUb finaYy baptised The place in the campus centre where you can buy a beer, play shuffleboard, and have your ears rattled with music, has finally got a name. As of May 1st it will bear the title, “The CC”. Christening the pub proved to be quite a problem for the student council at its last meeting on April 12. From a list of several hundred appellations suggested by campus drinkers, the federation executive took a handful to council,. The councillo&, however, couldn’t decide on what to name the child they took custody of last January.

next council meeting, scheduled for some time in May. He said he had to have a name for May 1st for the new bar menus. So this predicament was solved by federation president, S hane Roberts, who polled the pub one’ evening with the four names and “The CC” came out on top. Other news is that beer prices will be more expensive in “The CC” than they were in “the pub”. Ram told the chevron the price of a keg of beer went up by,$2.50 on March 1st and the provincial budget increased it by 96 cents. Thus the price of a glass of beer is up a nickel to 55 cents and a pitcher now costs $2.65, up from $2.35. After 8pm, when drinkers are treated to music with their beverage, a glass of beer costs 60 cents and a pitcher $2.85. -neil

Lack of Canucks The university is being pressured by the ministry of colleges and universities to increase the number of Canadians on faculty. UW president Burt Matthews, told the April 27, meeting of the board of governors that UW is responding to the ministry’s concern. He was commenting on a story which had appeared in the Globe and Mail that morning. Quoting a government report it I said UW, compared to the other Ontario universities, had the lowest percentage of Canadians among its new faculty. The president said the statement came as no surprise. He had had discussion with the minister, Harry Parrott, last fall and had agreed to pay particular attention to the citizenship of faculty, especially ney appointmenth. Matthews told the board the percentage of Canadians on faculty has been steadily increasing. He said in 1970 Canadians represented 58 per cent of teaching staff and by 1975 they equalled 67 per cent. (Much of that increase is due to foreign faculty taking out citizenship.)

But while the overall picture has improved the problem is mainly with the new appointments. Matthews said the percentage of Canadians among new faculty has decreased from 64 per cent in 1972 to 46 per cent IaSt year. The president said one reason for this is that most-of the increase in professors has been in faculties which are still developing, such as human kinetics and liesure studies. He said, “it is almost impossible to find Canadians qualified at the level we would want to have”. He pointed out that there was no graduate program for this discipline within Canada. However, since the discussion with Parrott, he said “we have been paying more particular attention to new hirings”: Of the 27 fulltime faculty hired as of that morning, .Matthews said,. 19 are Canadians (70 per cent). o About 50 new faculty are expected to be hired for the next academic year. Most of them are to replace professors leaving or retiring. The president said the university is faced with the prqblem of, in some cases, taking someone less qualified because he/she is a Canadian. The university is being very’ careful to maintain a careful balante, he told the board.

Food prices up

Demonstrations are becoming a/most daily occurences at Queens Park and Hill these days. This was part of an 8,000 strong march against the cutbacks in social services and education spending. It \?/as in the first week of April and 70 UW students, including a delegf!ion from the Anti-

Having received and established the Food Services budget for the fiscal year 1976-77, the known and anticipated cost increases, related in particular to raw materials, salaries and utilities, a recommendation to increase our retail prices by an average of 10% has been approved. New prices will become effective May lst., 1976. Some menu items will remairj at the same price level in effect since May 1975, whilst others will be increased beyond the 10% factor. In addition, cigarettes sold through vending machines will be increased by $.05 per package to retail at $.80.

IPsychologists go mad 1 Anti-inflation

In this article UW pychologist, then criticizeS, a colloqium Stanford’s Phi/lip Zimbardo.

Doug Wahlsten, first outlines, paper on madness, presented

Mat

and by I

Madness is a perversion of a normal human function which begins with the perception by the person of discontinuity, unlawfullness or randomness in the world, and then gives rise to ah unscientific explanation of the discontinuity by the person in the form of a symptom of madness. So said Philip Zimbardo April 2 at a UW Psychology Department colloqium. Zimbardo is well-known from his past research on violence and torture among college students and “dehumanization” ,of prison guards. He had just testified as an expert witness at a trial concerning six murdered prison guards in California before leaving for Waterloo. His talk was an informal summing up of ideas developed over several years of laboratory and clinical practice. He did not present any *data. According to Zimbardo, madness is a person’s theory about his relation to the universe and is a cognitive-social process. Cognition is a process whereby rationality is established. The social part of the process establishes the normality of the theory. Symptoms, then, are irrational and abnormal extremes of behaviour, such as violence, addiction, bizarre religious beliefs or epidemics of hysteria. Madness always entails an extreme degree of social isolation. An important feature of his ideas is that those who are mad are not separated by some fundamental quality from those who are normal. Theories of biological or hereditary causation and notions of ‘ ‘pre-morbid” personality are rejected. Discontinuities are perceptions of sudden change, such as birth, death or menopause. The underlying problem may be gradual, such as cancer, but consciousness of a problem -requiring explanation is achieved abruptly. When an explanation for the discontinuity is ,found, then discontinuity vanishes. Only when the explanation is irrational and abnormal, is the person designated “mad.” For example, a child gets a severe headache which demands explanation. Is the child being punished? Is he doomed to a lifelong headache? When the mother comforts the child by saying that it’s OK, that everyone in the society gets headaches and that it will go away soon, then rationality and normality are restored. Another example is one of Zimbardo’s patients who had unprovoked vomiting and loss of interest in women, problems which somehow led to poor grades in university. Investigation showed that the patient had been an outstanding student in a small town but could not compete with classmates at Stanford, and that the symptoms had actually appeared after the poor grades. Failure was the discontinuity, and bodily symptoms became the explanation. Zimbardo also said that any theory must explain one’s own madness. He,described in detail how six close acquaintances and a film company of 43 people died after being involved with him and how he began to think that he might be the cause. Only careful attention to all of his acquaintances who did not die and to the problems of his deceased friends before they met him finally saved him from madness. The most novel aspect of his theory may be the cure which is proposed--education. Through education, discontinuities may be anticipated, so that they are no longer discontinuities. Training in the scientific method and perhaps. statistics may then prevent madness. This theory fits well with the experience of Zimbardo, the research psychologist with a Ph.D., but its generality is certainly in question. One problem was also evident with its applicability. Iti a competitive educational system-such as ours, “irrational” people like his student-patient are rapidly eliminated. Those who need education the most in order to advance are least likely to get it. Calling for university education to serve as preventive psychiatry is ridiculous at a time when education, health services and social welfare are all being cut back, and when mental crises are multiplying as the economic crisis deepens. Like the vast majority of psychologists, Zimbardo does not place his own experience in- the- &text of what is happening ifi our society and the world. He asserts that psychology is the domain of individual experience, and that this can be understood in isolation from politics and economics. Consequently; he takes his place am& the multitude of other psychologists who also have their own theories of madness, or their bin peculiar modification of someone else’s theory. From this colloquium it seems as though psychology will soon be able to ‘present us with more theories than facts.

In this article 0 PIRG worker, Terry Moore, argues the labour’s case against the Anti-inflation program.

Much of the public discussion regarding the current battle between the labour unions and the federal government over the “fair-_ ness” of the “A@-Inflation Programme”, has been rhetorically centred on the role wage increases play in the inflationary process. Indeed, many people assume that any wage increase whatsoever will automatically force an increase in prices. The role played by corporate profits and monopolies, in this process, is either not mentioned at all or passed off as being iriconsequential. Perhaps the superficiality of the media coverage is related to the fact that owners of radio and television stations, newspapers and ,magazines are first and foremost businessm’en and therefore very interested in containing labour costs and maximizing profits. In any event, there is a very intense struggle taking place over who will get what proportion of the national income. The workers are

striving to maintain or increase their “share” of the wealth they produce while the corporations arkfighting to maintain or increase their profit margins. Conflict is inherent within the system. Table 1 and the accompanying graph show how the owners and the workers have been fairing in this perennial battle, since 1961. The inverse relationship between wages and profits is clearly indicated. For the time period 1961-1974, corporate profits increased 450% while wages, salaries and supplementary income rose 367%.

The federal government has intervened directly in the conflict twice in’ recent historv.: in 1970 with The Prices and Incomes Commission and in 1975 with the ‘ ‘Anti-Inflation Programme”. In both cases the share of the national

income going to corporate profits and wages had reached their historic (recent) low and high respectively. Since, under the rules of the present controls programme, prices charged by corporations are to be “contained” by the restriction of wage inqreases and not profits, the unions argue that the government is acting on behalf of the corporations. The figures presented here, support this conclusion. If anyone is interested in looking into this matterfurther, the Waterloo Chapter of the Ontario Public Interest Research,Group (OPIRG-W) has put together a bibliography’ and other resource materials, which are available on request.

SCWZC ’mscience. probes .:* - our p&sent and future ,

On Thursday, April 29, a number of scientists, government officials, and representatives from industry attended a forum at the University of Waterloo entitled ‘Shaping our‘.Future Now’. The event was organized by SCITEC, which was founded in 1969 at the suggestion of the federal governmetit to serve as ‘spokesman for science’ in federal politics. A very low-key publicity campaign and a registration fe’e of $35 suggests that the meeting was not intended to attract many individual scientists. - The advance literature and statements made on previous occasions by several of the speakers led a number of students and faculty to believe that it was reasonable “to anticipate presentations in support of certain reactionary theories concerning relations between population, food supply, environment, energy and natural resources, as well as on the role of science and technology,” The Anti-Imperialist Alliance together with progressive students and faculty therefore organized an alternative forum the night before the SCITEC meeting. In an announcement the organizers _ explained the purpose of their forum as follows: “Since SCITEC claims to provide leadership to the scientific community, there is concern that progressive views on science and technology may not be presented at their forum, and that reactionary views may thus go unchallenged, and be offered as a guide to research. “In our own public forum on Wednesday evening, we will show how the key to understanding the interrelation of population, natural resources, food-and industrial production is the study of political economy. Such study indicates that present starvation, poverty, urban crowding, underdevelopment, and economic stagnation, rather than being consequences of eternal laws of nature, are instead the direct outcome of colonialism and imperialism. Furthermore it indicates that in Canada the present low level of scientific research, as well as industrial stagnation, are due to U.S. imperialist domination. “The present world economic condition is largely characterized by imperialist relations of production and trade. With the third world countries increasingly rising to throw off imperialist domination, and with imperialism in crisis, ‘reactionary theories are increasingly promoted to justify intensified exploitation of the third.world by the two superpowers and to justify other acts on their part aimed at maintaining their world hegemony. “Chief among these theories are the widely-publicized “doom theories”, and certain related distortions about the effects of technological change.” That the promotion of ‘doom theories’ was on the agenda for the SCITEC forum was evident from their propaganda: “SCITEC plans a major series of forums between 1976 and 1978 focussed on Canada and the problem of world survival. Before the year 2000 we must grapple with the impending confrontation between the rising world population and the inadequate resources and technology to nourish it. The resolution of this confrontation will demand mobilization on the scale of a war effort. Food, energy, minerals, shelter,‘environmental conservation, ,and moderation of population growth towards equilibrium fertility will be the principal weaponry, and the war will not be quickly won.” About Senator Maurice Lamontagne, one of the speakers at the SCITEC forum, the organizers of the ‘progressive forum’ had the following to say: “As chairman of the Senate committee on science policy, he was responsible for the r&port“A Science Policy for Canada”. ’In volume II of that report, the committee claims that technological innovation no longer provides any guarantee to the realization of “unlimited aspirations”, that nature is beginning to “ revenge itself’ ’ -Ignoring .basic economic principles, the Lamontagne committee suggested that increases in workers’ wages will.necessarily be accompaniedby hflation, and that innovation which might be expected to improve the lot of this “average man” may involve “a more dangerous exploitation of nature’s limited non-renewable resources and habitable space”. These distortions are typical.of attempts to shift the blame and burden of the current economic crisis onto workers, and onto the peoples of the third ,world. We shall argue that under socialist relations of production, technology in the service of the people still provides a key to a rising standard of living for the world’s people.” Following this introduction is a report by George Eisler, Larry Hannant, and Shane Roberts, who covered the SCITEC forum for the chevron. George and Larry also compiled a report on the ‘progressive views’ which is presented on the next two pages. ~ l

C. M. Drury

C. M. Drury, federal Minister for science and technology, told the SCITEC forum that the “per- .- formance of the high technology sector (in Canada) This was attributed to the has been disappointing”. fact that Canada’s large’ corporations are not science-intensive. The “key performers in secondary manufacturing”, he emphasized, have not been “hightechnology” industries, but instead those concerned with paper, iron and steel, food products, nonferrous metals, and agricultural implements. The contribution of research in Canada to these industries has been in cost reduction in production processes. Pursuing the question of wheri is Canada’s hightechnology industry, Charles Drury said that outside of Bell Northern there are few compcnies involved in research and development. He put the figure at only a half a dozen industrial research and development (R dz D) laboratories that employ more than 100 qualified scientists and engineers. Drury bemoaned that “in terms of research intensity and corporate strength, Canada has 410 solid international presence in high t’echnology.” Nonetheless, he went on to contend, that Canada has “a distinct new generation of enterprises” -small companies with fifty to one hundred employees and sales up to $3 million -per year. This generation has grown out of university endeavors and are usually resource-related, “but knowledgeoriented”. These he sees as “a tender but growing network”.

’

Drury predicted that the future of both large and small Canadian industries will be closely tied to Canada’s natural resources. The challenges will be to “extend the use” of these, replace some of them, and exploit them for energy.

Other primary objectives facing science and tech‘nology will be housing, food, coping with the climate, and dealing with urban concentration. Later in reference to questions about the govemmerit anti-inflation program, Drury said that the ‘ ‘research community’ ’ could expec’t no special treatment. His message hit home when he went on to add that universities would take second place to priv_a_te industry for research money. Senator

Maurice

Lamontagne

Senator Maurice Lamontagne, chairman of the senate science policy committee, called for the establishment of a “national network for future studies”. This network would serve to help foster national debate for Canadians, who ,are “‘collectively facing the challenge of ‘inventing the future’ “. Results from surveys conducted by the Economic Council of Canada and the federal governmetit have shown that an increasing number of businesses and governnient departments are giving attention to studies of the future. Lamontagne is afraid this new area of research will develop in “a disjointed and unto-ordinated /-

loss of manpower and way”, with a consequent financial resources. He urged the use of more future studies as tools for planning and policy-making. Without outlining a_ny particular options for the future, outside the development of future studies, the senator said that we are at a turning point where we are no longer free to-allow society to be carried along without design. He cited the increasingly prevalent view that there are “physical, human, and institutional limits to growth” proceeding without design. This realization of limits has been brought about by perception of the “negative and disintegrating side-effects of affluence” in the .Western world. Attacking both pessimists and optimists on the question of the future Lamontagne asserted the need for “a firm willingness to change and revitalize our institutions”. He. rejected as “simplistic solufions” the need for either free competition or state intervention, but urged the need for a plan of action related to the threats and opportunities confronting us. ’ Lamontagne is pinning his hopes on future studies to lead the debate on “alternative futures”. Josef

Kates

Josef Kates, the chairman of the Science Council of Canada, supported Senator Lamontagne’s criticism ofthe lack of long term planning in industry and government. He stressed the need to improve the “climate for technological innovation” in Canada. He cited some ingredients which he thought contributed to the “cold climate” at the moment, such as tariff barriers, limited access to international markets, iriadequate technological expertise, and multi-national corporations. Kates criticized the lack of a national strategy on innovation and advocated more control over foreign investments. He felt that technology should be geared to the needs of domestically-owned industry. As challenging tasks for the future he proposed t& development of natural resources, adjustments in levels of consumption, safeguarding the physical environment, and matching our expectations with reality.

. Robert

H. Grasley

Financial adviser, Robert H. Grasley, doesn’t like the present trend in Canada. He considers the environment for- technological innovation “lousy”, mainly because of lack of risk’ capital to entrepreneurs. He explain& that in 1973-74 out of $66 million of venture investments only $650,000 was used to back a start-up of technological innovation. In 1975-76 no start-up capital at all was provided, he claimed. As prime culprits for this situation he nameh high interest rates and an Anti-Inflation Board decision which puts R&D spending into the sake category as charitable donations. “Not enough questions; not enough answers”, was the phrase he used to describe the relationship between available capital and the purpose and amount of the demand. He blamed foreign ownership, Canada’s branchplant economy, and corporate concentration, for the current attitudes towards R&D, which he characterized as being “off track”.

Low Research

Funds

True research spending has to be viewed with respect to the Gross National Product, he said. With 1% of GNP for R&D, Canada ranks as the lowest of the nine OECD countries. The trend has been constantly downwards since 1967. The contribution to R&D from the private sector is only 30% of the Gross Expenditure for R&D (GERD) in Canada compared to an average of 60% in all other OECD countries. The GERD dropped 20% between 196974 in Canada. The U.S. spends 47 times as much for medical research as Canada, where less than 1% of the Health and Welfare budget goes to medical research. He exp+ed foreign ownership ;o! remain at its present level and suggested looking for other solutions.

The Politicians’

Views

The second half of the SCITEC conference saw politicians express their views on the crucial questions of the first half of the forum-especially the difficulty of constructing a science policy with the Canadian economy so overwhelmingly dominated by U.S.-owned companies. The first panel discussion brought together Max Saltsman, New Democratic Party finance critic in the House of Commons, Frank Maine, a former industrial scientist and no& Liberal MP for Wellington, and Bill Kempting, science critic for the Conservative Party in the House. The discussion quickly moved to Canada’s industrial and scientific policy. Saltsman explained that Canada can’t continue to rely on the export of raw materials and still hope to develop high tee snology industry.

1976

Introducing the forum providing progressive views of science and technology, UW mathematics professor Henry Crapo, explained that the SCITEC , conference was regarded “as both a challenge and an opportunity.” _ “It is- an opportunity to express our views on certain key issues, issues where scientific work becomes a factor in world politics. On these issues we wish to make it clear that scientists must increasingly choose whether they are to be instruments in the hands of the world’s people, or whether they will find themselves placed in the service’ of imperialism .’ ’ The SCITEC conference represented a challenge, he said, “because we hear certain people in that organization going to great lengths to promote reactionary, discredited theories of doom.” For example, said Crapo, one individual in SCITEC “speaks of infinite population in the year 2026, of energy exhaustion, famine, i resource depletion, and pollution. Z “As our speakers will show tonight, these doom theories are nothing but speculation, based on an assumption of an unending capitalist road, and on exclusion of the main factors in,.world politics, imperialism and its antagonists-Third World national liberation and proletarian socialist revolution. “We see U.S. imperialism and Soviet socialimperialism as the leading causes of these-problems of famine, disease, wars and industrial stagnation. “We look to China as a shining example of a society finding solutions to these problems, putting science in the service of the people.” Limits to Growth-False Premises “Limits to Growth” is the title of a book describing the efforts of a Massachussets Institute of Technology (MIT) research team to mathematically model the world system. More than simply the title of a book, “limits to growth” is a concept. It incorporates a variety of theories which claim there are natural limits to growth, and base their predictions on metaphysical and speculative arguments rather,than on investigation and scientific methods of research. Theories of “finite energy resources” and “population explosion” are promoted by the Soviet Union and the United States. Obviously, the two superpowers feel that doom theories serve their interests, and this indeed is the case. How do doom theories serve to maintain the status quo? Simply by trying to scare the world’s people and convince especially the oppressed people of the third world that their misery is not so much a result of imperialist exploitation but rather natural limits to essential resources. Thus, they claim, anti-imperialist struggle will not ultimately benefit oppressed peoples, because natural disasters will nullify any gains from this struggle . The Club of Rome Now, let us take a closer look at the “limits to growth” theory as pushed by the Club of Rome and its affiliated MIT team of academics. The Club of Rome was founded in 1968 at the instigation of an Italian economist working with Fiat, Olivetti, and one of the largest consulting firms in Europe. Its of the varied but purpose is “to foster understanding interdependent components-economic, political, natural, and social-that make up the global system in which we all live.” The study rules out ownership of the means of production of wealth as the crucial factor in economic development. Nevertheless, they set out to study the “predicament of mankind”: “The intent of the project is to examine the complex of problems troubling men of all nations: pov6rty in the midst of plenty; degradation of the environment; loss of faith in institutiois; uncontrolled urban spread; insecurity of employment; alienation of youth; rejection of traditional values; and inflation and other monetary and economic disruptions.”

If traditional institutions and value-systems have been unable to eliminate starvation, unemployment, inflation, etc., why should anybody continue to have faith in them and not reject them? This is a good trend, not a ‘problem troubling men of all nations’. In addition, in countries where the backward social structures are destroyed, employment is secure, inflation does not exist, and starvation, famines, and epidemics have been eliminated. The following quote, then, is a severe distortion of the truth: -

“lt is the predicament of mankind that man can perceive the problematique, yet, despite his --‘considerable know/edge and skills, he does not understand the origins, significance, and interrelationships of its many components and thus is unable to devise effective responses.”

Methods to analyze and to know the world have been in existence for decades, and the conditions in a country like China today prove that effective ways of dealing with these problems are known and have been implemented. The Club of Rome claims to be neutral ideologically. But its alliance with bourgeois economic theory can be seen in its faith in the “wage and price spiral”, which they use as an example of positive feedback loops leading to exponential growth curves.

on SCIENCE With all this in mind, the conclusion Growth” is highly suspect:

of “Limits

“lt is true that in practice events take place in the world sporadically at points of stress-not generally or simultaneously throughout the planet. So, even if the consequences anticipated by the model were, through human inertia and political difficulties, allowed to‘occur, they would no doubt appear first in a series of local crises and disasters. But it is probably no less true that these crises would have repercussions woi-/divide and that many nations and people, by taking hasty remedia/ action or retreating into isolationism and attempting se/f-sufficiency, would but aggravate the conditions operating in the system as a who/e. The interdependence of the various components of the world system would make such measures futile in the end. War, pestilence, a raw materia/s starvation of industrial economies, or a generalized economic decay would lead to contagious social disintegration. ”

By disregarding major factors on one hand and ignoring important details on the other, they fit the model to their preconceived perception of the world. -This perverts science to pseudo-science. Singapore:

a case

study

Chen Lee, a UW student, exposed the real cost of the industrialization of Singapore. Lee argued that this industrialization has “put Singapore in a position no different from that of Thailand or Taiwan in relation to imperialist that is, to provide cheap labor and create powers.y profit for multinational corporations.” For imperialist corporations, Singapore’s rise as a financial and industrial center in South East Asia has been beneficial. “However, due to the high inflation rate and strict labor laws, the livelihood of the majority of the people declines, and the economic disparity of the society is greater than ever.” Profit channeled out of the country rose from $837 million in 1969 to $2331 million in 1973. But at the same time, half of the 2,000,OOO people of Singapore earn less than $200 a month, and three-quarters of them earn less than $400 a month. A survey conducted by the student union of Singapore University found that for a typical family of five a monthly income of $421 is necessary to make ends meet. “For those who earn less than this it-means they are either in debt or their children have to work instead of going to school.” Lee explained that “the people suffer in the midst of an economic boom. Besides a decrease in real wages, statistics show an increase in industrial injuries, environmental pollution, and child labor. “Many people have to move from their traditional homes to government housing-units to make room

for new factories. The arable land is used by industry. The cultivated land decreased from 25% of total area in 1964 to 15% in 1974, pushing Singapore further into -food deficiency.” Lee concluded that “the economic problem now facing Singapore was created by British colonialism. The people’s effort to solve this problem in the modern era is obstructed by a ruling class carefully cultivated by the imperialists. No matter how you look at it, imperialism is the most important factor in the lives of the people of Singapore. This statement I think can be generalized to most third world countries. ’ ’ SENATE SCIENCE COMMITTEE -The presentation of Physics graduate student Pat Hill was based on a report by the Senate Special _ Committee On Science Policy by its chairman, Senator Maurice Lamontagne. Hill directed attention to two aspects, namely: -the basic philosophy of the report, that is, its world view, -the implications of this view in the report’s recommendations for a Canadian science policy. A section of the report entitled ‘ Technology, Economic Growth, and the Quandary of Mankind’ said: “In the so-called advanced world, man the discoverer, creator, and entrepreneur has shown almost unlimited capabilities. In spite of the warning given to us by Ma/thus, we believed until reiently that our creative genius could liberate us from the limitations of nature. But then an obvious question arises: How can we stop man’s creativeness? How can we proclaim a moratorium on technology? it is impossible to destroy existing_knowledgc; impossible to , paralyze man’s inborn desire to learn, to invent, and to innovate.” “We are becoming aware, however, of another frightening phenomenon. In the developing countries, a quite different growth mode/ is- at work. As they go from the stage of misery to that of poverty, they experience a population explosion produced by more food and better medical care and manifesting itself in a growing life expectancy for women and lower infant mortality.”

The government appears to lean heavily on the previously criticized ‘doom theories’ promoted by the Club of Rome. How, then, does the government propose to stop the technological growth cycle in which they apparently believe? They note that very little research and development (R&D) is done on the industrial level in Canada and recognize that a major stumbling block to the development of local R & D and secondary manufacturing in Canada is the branch-plant economy and foreign ownership. The Senate Committee report urged greater inducement to industry to have more R & D done in Canada. It appears that they do not really believe in the ‘doom theories’ themselves. Why then, Hill concluded, are they promoting two seemingly contradictory viewpoints?

Intermediate Technology In order to illustrate how science and technology could serve the needs and the interests of a particular community Hans Hartung, a graduate student in Mechanical Engineering, presented the concept of ‘Intermediate Tee hnology ’ . He quoted Ghandi as saying: “. ..the poor of the world cannot be helped by mass production, only by production by the masses. The system of mass production, based on sophisticated, highly capital-intensive, high energy-input dependent, and human laboursaving technology, presupposes that you are a/ready rich, for a great deal of capital investment is needed to establish one single workplace.”

Hartung went on to say that: The system of production by the masses mobilizes the priceless resources which are possessed by all human beings, their clever brain and skillful hands. The technology of mass production is inherently violent, economically damaging, self-defeating in terms of non-renewable resources, and stulifying for the human person. The technology of production by the masses, making use of the best of modern knowledge and experience, is conducive to decentralisation, compatible with the laws of ecology, gentle in its use of scarce resources, and designed to serve the human person instead. of making him the servant of mat hines . It was first called ‘intermediate technology’ by E.F. Schumacher to signify that it is vastly superior to the primitive technology of bygone ages but at the same time much simpler, cheaper, and freer than the super-technology of the rich. y It is also called ‘Appropriate Technology’ and could be named self-help technology or democratic or people’s technology-a technology to which . everybody can join admittance and which is not reserved to those already rich and powerful.

The real task may be formulated

in four propositions:

Workplaces have to be created in the areas where the people are living now, and not primarily iri metropolitan areas into which they tend to migrate. These workplaces must be, on the avedge, cheap enough so that they can be created in large numbers without calling for an unattainable level of capital formation and imports. Production methods employed must- be relatively simple, so that the demands for high skills are minimized, not on/y ‘in the production process itself but a/so in organization, raw material supply, financing, ,marketing etc. Production should be mainly from local materials and main/y for local use.

In many countries development is concentrated in a few metropolitan areas. Vast areas within the country, often containing more than 8m of the population, will benefit little or may indeed suffer. Hence the twin evils of mass &employment and mass migration into the metropolitan areas. The result of development is that a fortunate minority have theirfortunes greatly increased, while those who really need help are left more helpless than ever before. If the purpose of development is to bring help to those who need it most, each ‘region’ or ‘district’ within the country needs its own development. This is a ‘regional’ approach. It is obvious that this ‘regional’ approach has no chance of success unless it is based qn the employment of a suitable technology. One useful way of looking at technology is the cost of providing one workplace. In North America, the cost of generating one workplace is roughly about $S,OOO.OO. A poor country, naturally, can qever afford to establish more than a very limited number of such workplaces within any given period of time. A ‘modern’ workplace, moreover, can be really productive only within a modern environment, and for this reason alone is unlikely to fit into a ‘district’ consisting of rural areas and a few small towns. In every ‘developing country’ one can find industrial estates set up in rural areas, where high grade modern equipment is standing idle most of the time because of a lack of organization, finance, raw material supplies, transport, marketing facilities and the like. The cost of generating a workplace would be about $2.00 or less in a ‘developing country’ using traditional technology. If effective help is to brought to those who need it most, a technology is required which would range in some intermediate position between the $2.00 and the $5,000.00 technology, where a workplace would cost anything between these extremes, say, $20, $100, $500,depending on the level of skills available in the country and its place in the spectrum of tee hnologies . Such an intermediate technology would be far more productive than the indigenous tevhnology, but it would be immensely cheaper than the sdphisticated, highly capital intensive technology of modern industry. Af such a level of capitalisation, very large numbers of workplaces could be created within a fairly short time. The intermediate technology would also fit much more smoothly i&o the relatively unsophisticated environment in which it is to be utilized. The equipment would be fairly simple and. therefore understandable, suitable for maintenance and repair on the spot. Hartung pointed out, that in order to implement intermediate technology, third world countries will first have to rid themselves of foreign ownership and imperialist domina8 tion. Occupational

Technology

A graduating Kinesiology student, Clara Kisko, spoke on the role of the government in research and treatment of occupational health. She began with the question “Is science and technology in Canada utilized to better the conditions of the workers in industry?” To back her negative replies Kisko cited a number of examples of workers suffering “horrendous conditions” of work. “The risk of working around coke ovens (in steel mills) has long been known,” she said. “The coke oven-cancer link was established, in a U.S. study published in 1971. This report concluded that there is a ten-fold risk of lung cancer among coke oven workers who spend five or more years on that job.” The uranium miners at Elliot Lake are exposed to a triple threat. Lung cancer has claimed 41 miners and a further 140 have’contracted silicosis, from breathing quartz dust. In addition, radiation and lead poisoning present real industrial hazards. A government report that uranium miners are four times as likely to die of cancer than the average Ontario resident was available to the Ontario government one year before an investigation was launched, said Kisko. The federal government has also had a hand in suppressing unfavorable reports about health hazards caused by industry. “According to news reports the Department of Health and Welfare in Yellowknife, North West Territories, became worried about mercury and arsenic poisoning only in 1975, after having received a 197 1 rsport by four U.S. scientists indicating the high risk.” In response to these occupational health hazards, workers have become increasingly militant. Unions have begun campaigns to have work conditions -improved.*. 1. , ‘I <./__ .,

“The gpvernment is trying desperately to subdue this ‘militancy by pretending that the workers have friends inside the government and that these friends will look after their interests,” said Kisko. Kisko noted that provincial government law makes it illegal for workers to strike during the term of a contract, even though severe health risks exist at the place of work. “Yet the company may violate the law with impunity. If the workers refuse to risk their lives by entering the mine or plant, the company can take legal action against them.” “One of the so-called friends of the working class in its -struggle for industrial safety is the New Democratic Party,” explained Kisko. “It has repeatedly expressed indignation as some of the more gross abuses have been exposed, has called for government investigations, and has requested 3 minor reforms. “By claiming that the government will solve the workers’ problems it attempts to mystify and disorganize the working class whenever it organizes to defend itself from the constant attack of the monopoly capitalist class. “The NDP promotes the line that government exists above class and that poor administration is the real culprit. But the root cause of health hazards at ‘work is the monopoly capitalist system itself, argued Kisko. “Industrial accidents and diseases are caused by the intensification of the exploitation of labor. That is, by the capitalists’ need to make labor turn out more commodities faster. 1 T/Gs intensification of labor; combined with wage controls and layoffs are all methods used by the Canadian monopoly capitalist class acting for U.S. imperialism to shift the burden of the economic crisis onto the backs of the workers, explained Kisko. But the working class is resisting this attack and more and more coming to recognize its true class enemy, concluded Kisko. Political Ecoriomy of Canada Larry Hannant, a graduate student in H&tory, outlined the political economy of Canada, with the view of providing the background for a study of science and technology. “Throughout its history Canada has been a country subordinate to first the French, then the British, and now to the U.S.,” argued Hannant. “This constant status as a,dominated territory is the foundation of its existence to this very day.” Canada industrialized not through the long process common to the European countries, but in two decades of dynamic activity at the beginning of the twentieth century. “Beginning about 1900 Canada underwent a flurry of development that saw the amalgamation of weak, tinstable industrial concerns into a few major industrial enterprises dominating the Canadian economy. “This formation of monopolies, in which a handful of huge corporations engulfed entire industries, was accomplished through the action of financiers, usually backed by British, and increasingly U.S. capital. “This occurred in textiles, cement, steel, mining, autos, and numerous other decisive sectors of the economy.” The effects of this rapid development can be observed today, said Hannant. One of the features of industry in Canada is that the major sectors of production, transportation, communication and distribution are controlled by a small number of powerful firms. “Less than four per cent of all manufacturing firms in this country produce 44 per cent of the goods marketed here.” “And the salient point about most of these huge firms is the high level of foreign ownership of them. This ownership is predominantly from the U.S.” A second observed feature is that financial institutions are all-pervasive, powerful and extremely profitable, said Hannant. ‘ ‘And a de‘tailed study of the monopoly chartered banks in Canada shows that they are agents for the investment, management and contention of one section of English, U.S. or other foreign finance capital in Canada.” A feature about the economy which is significant, but obscured, is that banks and other financial institutions are merged with monopoly industry through interlocking directors and financing arrangements. “What we observe is the integration of monopoly indus-, trial concern& with the major banks. This is the foundation fdr monopoly capitalism. “Taken together with the .sizeable involvement of the state in the economy, and the overwhelming presence of U.S. finance capital, what we see is a state monopoly capitalist country dominated by U.S. imperialism.” This makes for a fragmented, peculiarly-formed economy, said Hannant. He noted that Canada does not have a machine tool industry, which is a requisite for a fully-industrialized country. Industrial research and design is undernourished and stunted because of this. Canada spends _close to the lowest portion of its gross national product on industrial and scientific research and design of any of the industrial countries. In fact, Hannant pointed out, Canada is an exporter of essential raw materials and an importer of machinery. This has greatly contributed to the heavy balance of trade deficit Canada now suffers.\In 1975 this deficit was $5 billion. The greatest part of this deficit of trade is with the U.S. Canada has also been loaded down with heavy debt payments, which will only increase in the future .as presentlynegotiated loans and bond issues come due. He cited as examples the $1 billion bond issue negotiated by Hydro Quebec this year, which-will require repayment of $3 billion to New York financiers over its 2O-year term. “This is the way that U.S. imperialism is shifting the burden of its own economic crisis onto the people of i i I ! , 9‘ rz ?

He called on the SCITEC participants to recognize U.S. imperialism as the main impediment to the development of science and technology for Canadians, and to deal with that problem. Technology and Productivity Doug Wahlsten, a Psychology professor at UW, spoke on the relationship between technological innovation and workers’ produc,tivity. He noted that bourgeois science and technology are preoccupied with the affairs of the monopoly capitalist class, and scientific research is intended to improve the profits of that class. “So what we have is science which is one-sided, looking only at this one aspect, profits. It’s detached from the problems that this causes for the masses of the people.” The productivity of labor includes two factors, explained Wahlsten. There is the skill of the laborer. The more skilled the worker, and the faster he or she is driven, the more commodities are produced per unit time. The other factor in productivity is machinery, explained Wahlsten. “The more advanced the machinery, the more modern and efficient it is, the more prdductive the worker will be who operates that machine.” Bourgeois politicians and scientists have brought forward doom theories which seek to blame problems on the people, and especially on the workers. One such theory is issued by Ontario Treasurer Darcy McKeough, who attempts to blame Canada’s serious balance of payments deficit with the U.S. on Canadian workers, who, he says, are less productive than U.S. workers. Specifjcally, McKeough has attacked Canadian auto workers, who are allegedly falling behind their U.S. counterparts in productivity. “What McKeough ignores is the simple thing :f capital investment in new production facilities, in new machinery. “The Canadian auto industry is owned by the U.S. So if productivity is increasing down there but not here, it means that after they built these factories here in the 1960’s, now they’re just letting them stagnate, then decay, and they are reinvesting their capital in the U.S. “This is a problem for Canadians created, by the U.S. domination of -Canada. ” ’ Wahlsten criticized another theory of productivity, this one presented by Max Saltsman, New Democratic Party Member of Parliament for Waterloo-Cambridge. Saltsman says that wage increases must parallel productivity increases. If they do not, inflation will result. “But if we look at the actual situation in Canada, what we find in many cases is that productivity increases cause wages to fall.” In agriculture, for example, productivity of the workers has impr&ed by 5.5% per year from 1946 to 1969, said Wahlsten. But the number of workers employed in agriculture has declined by 3.5% per year and agriculture sector wages are among the lowest of all occupational groups in Canada. “Labor income has gone down 11% on the farms. Real labor income, that is, looking also at inflation. “Where there are workers being thrown out of jobs on a large scale, wages stay really low. “But while there might be a trend between productivity and wages, there are so many gross exceptions that it is obviously not a rigid law..” What effects will technological innovation have on the working class? Wahlsten listed six effects. Technological innovation will increase productivity. Since fewer workers can produce the same amount of products, workers will be displaced from their jobs. This will hurt the living standard of the whole working class. Technological innovation cheapens labor power. “Less skill, less strength are needed to engage in production when you use a machine, an advanced machine, than when you have to use tools directly. “And so you have more women and children operating machines. Not so many children work in Canada these days, but as we saw in Chen Lee’s talk, Singapore is not immune from this.” “Technological innovation increases the gap between mental and manual labor. “It simplifies the labor of the worker who’s actually engaged in production, at the same time that it calls for a great increase in the knowledge and skill of a small number of scientists, who are highly paid.” Technological innovation accelerates the centralization of production into large monopoly corporations. “The small firms don’t have the kind of technology that’s necessary to compete with the big monopoly corporations. “The sixth effect is that monopoly itself will accelerate this entire process, and it brings us to the kind of crisis which we’re in now. “Under monopoly the effects of technological innovation will be to iqcrease profits, profits which can then be reinvested in more machinery which increases the productivity further and throws more workers out of jobs. “The key point here is that technology itself is not the problem. This is what happens to technology under monopoly capitalism. “We see in China today, they’re developing science and technology at a rapid rate and this is increasing the wellbeing of the people. “The.problem is monopoly capitalism and the domination of Canada by U.S. imperialism. “This is the problem,” concluded Wahlsten, “and scientists can carry on with their doom theories and their computer models but if they ignore that problem they can’t be considered serious scientists because they don’t look at . _ what<a&ually exists in the world.”

Anthplogy~.album The Best of Tom Tom Rush _ Columbia

Rush.

I have a certain distaste for “best of” and “greatest hits” anthologies of artists. They are-usually just a collection of the artist’s biggest commercial hits (supposedly therefore-his t ‘best” songs) collected together in a cheap package for reap4ng profits .on previous success. Their value as accurate representations of a musician’s or group’s, talents are negligible. Their true worth lies in such things as party albums,, w&re a constant flow of AM radio hit songs keeps people dancing. Better examples’of this type of record are 1%%& by the Beatles, ~&~ess mr by the

-okay

Maybe it& just by coincidence but in my opinion the best song on the album. is tlERush-penned “No Regrets”. The arrangement of this tune is very powerful, due to an k elaborate orchestral arrangement and some forceful percussion work. It is simply five-and-a-half, minutes of great music. The lyrics are fairly basic, but this is one song where you don’t really listen for the meaning of the words. Three other cuts stand out on this album as well. Rush’s version of “Child’s Song”; a sad ballad writtenby a young man whois leaving home because “we just got too old to say we’re wrong” is a very moving version of an excellent song. “Lost My Driving Wheel”, ’ written by Ottawa folksinger David

Wiffen, and “Hobo’s Mandolin” are: also worthy of mention. The rest of the songs are quite listenable * as well; there aren’t really any bad cuts on the album, This album is an enjoyable anthology of Tom Rush’s music, despite the cheap packaging and the 6 “greatest hits” format. If you’ve always had the desire to get into his music, but did not particularly like all of the music on his previous five albums, then put aside all reservations. and pick it up. I cari? recom‘mend “greatest hits” albums as truly representing an artist’s* ~r$ group’s talents, but there is merit in The &St of Tom Rush as a record of s worthy,note: I have “NO Regrets”,about it at all. -&even

Volume 16 of the chevron ended on April 2 +.with a flurry of feedback. We were pleased that the paper was being used as a vehicle for discussion on campus, and, hope that it will continue. However, because of space limitations, the staff has decided to place a limit of 1200 words on letters. Much of this week’s feedback relates to the April issue. In particular, the letters by Owen Liebman and Terry Moore. The chevron staff , apolog”ue to Mr. Liebman for the delay in printing his main letter. A mistake was made in sizing the letter for the last issue and it had to be pulled at the last moment. --

social change who previously grouped around (such) erroneous political lines .” (As Wages ,for Schoolwork) I think differently and because she can offer no supportive information, and none is readily obtainable (except perhaps for the Federation Election Results) I believe that there is more than sufficient reason to doubt her assertions. In any event, many religious sects, which I am sure we would both claim to be reactionary, can rightly claim an active membership far in excess of all the Marxist-Leninist groupings put together. The numbers game does not necessarily point one in the direction of the “truth”. ~ No doubt, however, the AIA will consider whatever growth it is experiencing to be proof positive of the unity of its theory and practice, as well as the “correctness” of its political line, The. Hare Krisna Movement, you can take comfort in knowing, is very busy claiming exactly the same thing.

Zionism Continued

Leibnian

If we carry Salah Bachir’s argument that the British had no legal right to Palestine (an argument which I reject) to its’ logical conclusion, then we must conclude that Israel has every right to exist. The Jews ruled in Israel until 70 A.D., when they were conquered by the Romans and dispersed BY FORCE. Using Bachir’s argument, Israel, and only Israel, is entitled to the land, since it has never changed hands except by force. The Palestinians are thus guilty, using Bachir’s fatuous argument, of invading Israel, not vice versa. Or, does the concept of a homeland apply only to Palestinians? The Arabs in Palestine did not at any time before World.War I attempt to overthrow or even protest the Turkish ruIe. The “conto which B,achir refers tinuous struggle” simply did not exist. It is a figment of his imagination, and, as such, is quite appropriate in his column and letter. I did point out in my letter that Jordai was partitioned ,before’Israel (I made the mistake of assuming Bachir could count to two-1 noted that the 1948 partition was the SECOND partition of -Palestine .) I should have pointed out that it was Transjordan which was partitioned, since it did not take on the name of Jordan until after it had annexed the West Bank in 1949. There was only one reason for my pointing I out .the area of Jordan. The “Palestinian in their eternal, struggle for their people”, I’ homeland, are ignoring, over 7~5 per cent of the areaof that land, namely, Jordan(w-hich, I might add was granted independence by the British, who Bachir will certainly claim had no right to do so, in complying with their promise made re the battle against the Turks). A nationalistic movement which seeks to recover less than a quarter of its nation certainly has-other motives than nationalism -this is a movement whose sole purpose is to destroy Israel, not to regain a homeland. The only person who does any inventing of facts is Bachir. The UNcommittee which decided to establish separate Israel and Palestitian states (please note that the partition did not merely create the state of Israel) -consisted of the following eleven countries: Canada, Czechoslovakia, Guatemala; The Netherlands, Peru,, Sweden, Uruguay, India, Iran, Yugoslavia, Australia. Please note, Bachir, the United States is not among these. I am sure, however,’ that your book could easily be modified to state that this committee did not exist, without harming its credibility in the slightest. When Bachir sees an argument which cannot be defended, the cry of ‘ ‘Zionist propaganda’ ’ is immediately heard. In the case of the initiation of aggression in 1948, the Zionist propagandists who I quote are the President of. Syria, the SecretaryGeneral of the Arab .League,, and the Egyptian Foreign Minister. The statements which I gave are all direct quotes: and cannot possibly be attributed to being taken out of context. The Zionists must have had a very powerful organisation indeed to have so thoroughly infiltrated the upper echelons of Arab governments. I, like Count Bernadotte, believe that many of the Palestinians were innocent vic-

tims of the conflict. They were in 1948, and continue to be today, thoroughly manipulated by Arab governments into their squalid condition. These refugees exist only because the Arabs invaded Israel-th,ere would have been no refugee problem if Israel had been left alone. I give up .on one point. Seven large Arab nations deliberately invaded a tiny (everyone knows how to read maps, in case Bachir ever decides to try to prove that Israel is larger than the entire Arab world put together) newly-created nation with the sole purpose of wiping it out, and they invaded with a force which they knew was outnumbered by more than three to one. Why I ever believed this was not the case, I cannot say. The brochure used by Bachir as an incontrovertible reference lies constantly. When it states that the British forces handed over most of their arms to Israel, it is the brochure, not I, that “pulls facts out of the air”. The B.ritish gave little, if anything, to Israel, although they were of great assistance to the Egyptians. Perhaps the brochure got the names of the two countries as confused as the rest of its “facts”. --Thank you, Bachir, for the new definition of aggression-“being attacked”. Bachir does not dispute the fact that the Arabs attacked first. He merely ignores the fact, and uses the new definitions to label Israel “agl gressor”. If there is one thing I need not fear from you, Bachir, it is truth. Some day, you may catch me off guard and quote an actual fact, but I don’t think that is likely in my lifetime. 1The reason why I rejected your suggestion that Zionism and anti-Semitism are one and the same is because of the warped logic which you have~displayed in trying to establish such an infamous falsehood. Two ideas which stem from the same premisses are NOT necessarily one and the same. For instance; undertakers and hired assassins both have theirjobs only because humans are capable of dying. Since both professions are based on the same premisse, are we then to assume that undertaking and assassinating are one and ‘the same??? Nevertheless, let us examine your statements. You say that ‘ ‘rascism is eternal and natural”an unfortunate statement, but true, nevertheless-there will always exist people like you, Bachir. You describe the “fiction of an international Jewish“race nat tion’ T’, and justify it by saying that Canadian Jews are Canadians. How fortunate that this restriction falls only on Jews-Canadians of Palestinian sorigin *are quite free to be both Canadian and Palestinian. Finally, you state that it is a premisse,of anti-Semitism that “ . ..Jews should get out and go to Israel”. Would that it were so. Hitler did not think the Jews should, get out; the czars of latter-day and present-day Russia do not think Jews should get out; Syria, major supporter of the Palestinians, certainly does not believe that the Jews should ‘get out. Anti-Semites believe quite the opposite-without the Jews present, they would have to find other scapegoatson whom to blame their ills. Rudolph Kastner was brought before the courts under the very charges with which you accuse him. He was acquitted. In Israel,‘ Canada, and any other democracy, we have the concept of “innocent until proven guilty.” Under Bachir and his friends in the “Abolish Intelligence Alliance” (AIA), who are constantly telling us that they are defending the “rights of the people”, we are given a new concept of justice-“guilty even after proven innocent”. As you plod on in your phantom searches for “fascism”, Bachir, I suggest that you need look no further than yourself and your “justice”. Finally, my proof for the statement, “The PLO manifesto clearly calls for the expulsion of the Jews from the state.” Article 6 of the Palestinian National Covenant reads as follows (the translation is from “Basic Political Documents of the Armed Palestinian Resistance Movement”, PLO Organisation Research Centre, Beirut,-probably another Zionist organ, eh, Bachir?):

“Article 6: The Jews ,who had normally resided in Palestine until the beginning of the Zionist invasion will be considered Palestinians,.” The congress of approximately 100 selfappointed delegates which approved this article in 1968 (it has been affirmed at every succeeding conference) also issued an :‘Official Report of the Congress” (same publisher). In the chapter entitled “The Intemational Palestinain Struggle”, on page 5 1, the following enlightening paragraph is found: “Likewise, the National Council affirms that the aggression against the Arab nation and its land began with the Zionist Invasion of Palestine in 1917. Therefore, the meaning of ‘removal of traces of aggression’ must be the removal of the traces of the aggression which came into effect from the beginning of the Zionist ’ invasion, and not from the war of June 1967.” In other words, Jewish immigration to Israel is itself an act of aggression, and, since all traces of aggression are to be removed, all aggressors (viz., Jewish immigrants) are to be expelled from the country. I shouldn’t say all-those who were there before 1917 will quite clearly be allowed to stay. I hope this clears up any doubts my last letter left in your mind, Bachir. As for your suggestion that I buy the brochure, I gave it careful thought . I have decided, however, that Hans Christian Anderson still has the best fairy tales around, even though the Norman Bethune Institute did give him a good run for his money.

Truth & Light Vanity of vanities, saith the preacher all is vanity, of making-books there is no end and much study is a weariness to the flesh. But this is wisdom to love God. And understanding to depart from evil, there is nothing to be compared with wisdom. Before anything was, wisdom was. All that hate, wisdom, love, death. God made man upright, but they sought out many inventions. But the Lord shall bring into judgement every secret thing whether it be good or evil.

If ever the silver cord be loosed, or the golden bowl be broken then to dust ,man returns to earth as it was and the spirit shall. return unto God who gave it. God quickeneth Jesus ‘who says, if a man keep my sayings he shall never see death. Christ is the way the truth and the light. All that hate Christ hate the Father also. I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of god unto salvation to everyone that belieth. To the Jew first but also to the gentile. I am persuaded that nothing can separate me from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our LORD. I have been bought with a price-even Jesus Christ, therefore I shall glorify God in my body, and spirit which are God’s, I glory in nothing but in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ. Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it. Who is this that cometh out of the wilderness like pillars of smoke, perfumed with myrrh and fi-akmcence, with all the powder of the merchant? Oh Jesus Christ” Have you seen my lover? This man, will return and rule the World. His kingdom will last forever. Praise Him. God is in the heavens, and we are on the earth, we shall worship God who is far above us. Out of Bethleham comes He that is to be the ruler of Israel; His goings forth have been of old, from everlasting. God will perform the truth unto Jacob and the mercy unto Abraham, which Thou has sworn unto our fathers from the days of old. Let all people now accept the overcomer, who is Jesus Christ. Let Him in, Christ has risen. Mark

Tunnel M&ion When a statement from a noted Arab philosopher (Sadia Hamany) is published, Salah Bachir has every right in the world to criticise it as “racist”. What he does not have the right to do is say that it “clearly exposes the racist ideas pushed by the Zionists”. Hamany, needless to say, was never at any time, by any stretch of the imagination, a Zionist. If Bachir wishes to label the statement as one which clearly exposes the racist ideas pushed arby the Arabs, he is consequently free to do so. We have an excellent optometry clinic here at Waterloo, Bachir. Why don’t you see if they can do something about your tunnel vision? Owen Leibman

Do you suffer from dangling modifier? Do you have trouble with split infinitives? And do you ever get your tenses in a twist? If you have any of these symptoms see your chevron staff immediately. The chevron is the student newspaper on campus. It has a well-equipped office with desks, typewriters, cameras, a darkroom, even a few.pencils and at least one rubber. It’s a place where you could learn a lot and have some fun. Learning to write newgstories, features and developing your own writing style can only help your academic writing-and your marks. The paper also provides skilled photographers with a chance to practice their art on a regular basis, and is a place where anyone else can come and learn. That still leaves a dozen or more skills which can be picked up. Editing, copy layout, research, photojournalismmarketable skills for all the budding’woodwards and Bernsteins (male and female) on this campus. In fact the charrces of you getting a job after working on the chevron for a while are probably as good as the chancesofyou gettingajobwithyouruniversitydegree. . You might even want to learn how an untidy pile of typewritten sheets, ads, graphicsand pits, istransformed into’regulated columns of type neatly surrounded by ads, graphics and pits. Or watch as all that is typeset and photographed at Dumont Press Graphics and sent to Fairway press in the‘ I form of large-negatives to be run-off on the web offset press. We see our role on campus in three ways: -to provide a news coverage of events on campus -news, sports and entertainment; -to teach people the skills associated with newspaper work; -to provide an alternative political analysis to that generally found in the media. We try and fulfil1 that role with an integrated newspaper. If you want to help, have some fun, meet people, and learn a lot, come and see us. The amount of tim.eyou need commit is entirely up to you-even if you want to write one article this term come and discuss it.
