Ex NDP chief crosses
line
Lewis ignores David Lewis , former federal leader of the New Democratic Party, has accepted a summer teaching position at Simon Fraser University (SFU). In doing so, he is contravening a boycott that has been imposed on that institution by thirteen academic and professional organizations including one that Lewis has mem.bership in. In a letter to David Wallbaum, president of the Simon Fraser student society, Lewis announced that he was unaware of the boycott when he first accepted the offer to lecture in the political science and continuing studies departments of SFU. When Wallbaum informed him of the boycott, LewiS decided that SFU president Pauline Jewett was:
By foreign
student
“fully committed to academic freedom and that any action by me that appears to question her commitment would be unfair and harmful. I, therefore intend to honour my undertaking to her and to the (politica&ience) department.” The boycott was instituted in response to the dismissal in 1969 of Professors Ahmad, Potter, Briemburg, Aberle and Feldhammer. Ahmad has since died. Three others, Professors Wheeler, Popkin, and Leggett, were refused renewal of their contract. All eight of the teachers were involved in a strike against what was considered by them to be undemocratic procedures within their department of psychology, sociol-

boycott ogy, and anthropology. The department subsequently fired them on the grounds that they had. not adhered to the terms df their contract, and had failed in their duty to provide instruction to their students. In retaliation the Canadian Association of University Teachers (CAUT) instigated -the first two stages of academic censure on the SFU administration. Donna Hickey, of dAUT’s Ottawa office, told the chevron this constituted a warning to SFU that a boycott of the university would ensue if the fired professors were not completely reinstated. In 1971, the-third stage of censure, which entails a boycott, was put into effect. This was the first

quired to have $3,000 when renewing their visas. And these funds can’t be obtained by working in Canada because international students rarely tire eligible for work permits.
That’s one of the reasons why Ruth Rempel is concerned about the recent tuition increaSe for foreign students. ln a letter to Harry Parrott, minister of colleges and universities, she says the rationale for the hike is “clearly a matter of poor information.” She says it’s wrong for the province to maintain that higher fees exist for Canadians studying abroad as only the U.S. and Britain have different tuition levels for natives and foreigners. In addition, the government also errs in saying the bulk of international students come from these two countries when only “slightly more” than one-fifth do. The rest of the 34,615 foreign students come fro< Third World and Western nations. Canada has almost an equal number of students studying in other countries. Another point the government overlooks is that foreign students pump about $35 million a year into the Ontario econo’my as they’re re-
“Finally, it must certainly be clear that it is to Canada’s advantage to be able to invest money in international development while retaining these monies in the Canadian economy .” Rempel says foreign students are* still the only contact the majority of Canadians will ever have with a member of another culture. “The advantages of having their presence on our campus and in our community are immeasurable.” The advisor says the special fees for foreign students will.“severely disadvantage students from developing countries who wish to study in Canada.” It will create “bitterness and ill will” among those who are funding their study in Canada and will emphasize the power of the “haves” over the “have nots”. Rempel also notes the increase was announced after most students left for summer, saying “it appears to have been done so that no unified protest could be organized .” Meanwhile, the Ontario Federa-
tion of Students is trying to me-et with Parrott to ask him why he “broke a promise to us that tuition fees would not be raised,” says researcher Paul Johnston. He called the minister’s decision to raise fees “totally ridiculous and and added that discriminatory” Canadians don’t suffer this type of discrimination in many other countries. The OFS will meet in June to discuss the way to fight the tuition hike, and will also meet with opposition parties to see if the decision can be reversed. Johnston said 50 per cent of international students in Ontario are from Third World coun&s and the majority -are supported by misor by the sion’s, communities Canadian International Development Agency. The provincial decision, effective next January, will increase tuition fees for foreign students attending university to $1,500 from $585 for a two-term year. For foreign students in community colleges, the tuition will go up to $750 from $250. These increases won’t affect foreign students w’ho are already enrolled in post-secondary educational institutions. -john

at SFU-
time such proceedings had been initiated against a Canadian univeristy. Lewis was leader of the NDP from 1971 to 1974, when he lost his seat a_s member of parliament for York South. Since then, he has lectured at Carleton University in Ottawa, during which time he became a member of CAUT. In the letter to Wallbaum, Lewis mentions that he was offered the position during a period of time when ,CAUT had temporarily raised the SFU boycott to allow newly installed president Jewett to familiarize herself with the afftiir. CAUT reinstituted the boycott in July of 1975, however, when it deemed inadequate the proposals submitted by Jewett. Furthermore, CAUT did so in a special hearing held at Carleton when Lewis was teaching there. Jewett’s proposals contained offers to rehire Aberle and Potter. Leggett was promised “fair consideration” if he reapplied to teach at Simon Fraser. The remaining four dismissed instructors were assured of SFU-funded research stipends if they applied to CAUT for an independant evaluation of their credentials. CAUT rejected the proposal on the grounds that three investigations of the incident had found no evidence of wrongdoing on the part of the professors, and therefore they warranted nothing less than full and automatic reinstatement. Briemburg claimed in a reply to the Jewett proposal thqt “the deal offered now is the same deal offered six years ago” by Jewett’s predecessor, Kenneth Strand. At the time, Simon Fraser’s student newspaper, The Peak, charged that “To avoid the real issue and to try to make themselves look good, the university would reinstate those people who would not and could not come back to SFU anyway .” In the letter to Wallbaum, Lewis claimed that “no objective observer can question my record in defence of civil liberties. . . 1, therefore, have no hesitation in supporting the censure of the scions taken by a previous SFU in violation of administration academic freedom.” However, he went on to say, “In
my opinion, the present situation does not justify any such action (honouring the CAUT boycott) nor would it serve any useful purpose.” Wallbaum replied in an open letter to Lewis early last month. He charged that Lewis’ decision “to compromise the boycott imposed by CAUT may prove to undermine your o&n credibility as a defender of civil’liberties. In addition, you] presence at SFU may seriousl’y hurt the credibility of the CAUT boycott, and may subsequently erode the prospect of any Principled rectification of the grievances that led to its imposition.” ~

blacklisted
In a further development in-this affair, the Canadiin Sociology and Anthropology Association is investigating charges that an SFU administrator has been involvkd in a blacklisting of one of the dismissed instructors, John Leggett. After his firing, at SFU, Leggett applied for a job with the California State University at Sacramento, in the School for Social Work. Dr. Alan Wad-e, a social work profess01 at California, claims that the administration refused to allow the department to hire Leggett on the basis of t_elephone conversations with an official of SFU, who was later identified as administrative vice-president G. Suart. Sust admitted his involvement when he confirmed that he had discussed Leggetts performance at SFU with Cal State administrators. The Peak claimed that “Suart’s willingness to participate in private telephone conversations about. . . any. . . candidate for academic appointments is a highly dubious one. Normal channels . . .” in whit h prospective candidates‘ can be evaluated.. . include letters df reference, curriculae vitae, and other academic crjteria . . . Suart not only discussed non-academic material, but apparently made no effort to have the relevant data presented.” The Peak charges that the CSAA already has information on the in; volvement‘of SFU officials in the possible blacklisting of Popkin, Briemburg, Feldhammer, and Aberle. -mike

The Arts Faculty council agreed Tuesday .to adopt a pilot program that will admit part-time students to first and second year courses on a non-degree basis. Starting in the fall, each department is required to submit a list of courses available to the end of the 1977 spring term, at which time the_ program will be reviewed. The new admissions category is called “Admitted to Course” and enables “John and/or Mary Citizen” to take a course by simply securing the permission of the pro’ fessor teaching it and the approval of the associate dean, the committee report says. There are no restrictions as to age or formal requirements, although the program will be announced only in the off-campus course publicity to “be sure of a limited number of applicants .” However, degree candidates and persons “admitted to course” who later want to pursue degrees will continue to be admitted by the admissions committee. The question of the adequacy of current admissions procedures is raised by the “increase in the number of off-campus courses being taught by the teaching personnel of the Arts Faculty in the past couple of years,” the report says. The problem is to efficiently serve the mostpeople while “maintaining academic integrity” and assuring that it is “economically feasible”. , Associate dean Jack Gray distinguished the new non-degree prog-
ram from the existing probationary program w hit h gives successful students the option of entering full-time studies for a degree. “This is notprobationary at all” and does not count as a credit for a degree, he said. Gray denied that the program was deSigned to increase funds for the university, as the increase in provincial government grants I’ would be “negligible”. “We would be doing the community a service and ourselves a service-something to build on for the future,” he said. English professor Paul Beam doubted that professors would have ‘enough time to interview all the “Admitted to Course” candidates. However, Gray felt that their various backgrounds would create no special problems for professors, pointing out that only 53 per cent of this year’s first-year students are coming straight from Grade 13. The rest are- being admitted as adult students because of a continuing trend for students to “stop out” for a while, he said. In any case, few people will be affected by the new category“about two dozen,” Gray estimated. The main objections to the program were voiced by history professor Ken Davis who argued that people who don’t have the formal requirements to enter university are already served by the probationary progI’am. ‘iThe only real criteria for being admitted to Arts (at present) is the
.
ing for some legal basis to sue such companies as Term Paper Services. In the meantime, students can be discouraged from using the services by informing them that each undergraduate officer has the main catalogues and lists of essays most readily available, the report says. Student performance can be judged on a mixture of essays and exams to detect any “gross disproportion” between performances and guidelines can be developed defining academic dishonesty and what to do about it, the report coneludes. In an attempt to control bird courses, council approved a recommendatioQ that departments and colleges review course offerings to make sure that grades, work load and level of difficulty are in keeping with academic goals. In addition, each department will provide extended descriptions of courses outlining the work load and

desire to be in the course,” he claimed. Davis was concerned that the program could result in a “lowering of standards” and a “distortion” of the Arts Faculty damaging its “professionalism’ ’ . “This is a very radical change of direction for the Arts Faculty,” he said, warning that it would cheapen itself by breaking dowo the distinctions between the university and the community colleges. John Wilson, chairman of the political science department, countered that most people in the community are “terrified” of the university’s admissions procedure. “We’re showing the most closed face to the community and we shouldn’t be doing it. . . it’s hurting us,” he said. @ --dionyx mcmichgel In other business, council agreed to urge the UW senate to get Ontario universities and government agencies to regulate companies selling term papers to students.

Exams will be held at least twice during the fall term, and council expects that the course will be effective enough that virtually all students will have completed it by the beginning of classes in the winter term. However, it acknowledges that some special arrangements will have to be made in the case of students who are unable to do this. It also acknowledges that some special considerations may have to be given to students whose first language is not English. ’ UW is only one of several universities which are concerned about the level of English language proficiency.

reed on during Vorster’s visit to promote economic and scientific co-operation and trade. As part of the pact, Israelis reportedly interested in buying one million tons of South African coal annually, beginning in 1979. In addition, the New York Times! reported speculation that South Africa has agreed to provide Israel with supplies of uranium. The basis for the economic ties is the hard currency and rich supply of raw materials and cheap labour that South Africa has, and Israel lacks. In exchange, Israel offers skilled labour, sophisticated electronics, and science-based industries. For years now, Israel has been the largest buyer of South African diamonds. Worked diamonds constitute Israel’s largest export industry. Steadily increasing economic ties between the two countries in the-past 15 years have increased
their trade by forty times, to U.S. $120 million. The relationship between the two countries goes back to 1948 when South Africa recognized the new Israeli state. Although they had close economic ties, during the 1960’s Israel maintained a diplomatic distance from South Africa in order to maintain relations with black African states. However, following the October War in 1973, all but four black Afriban states had broken relations with Israel. Soon after the 1973 war, Israel deepened its ties with South Africa and the two countries exchanged fZl embassies. Today, both Israel’and South Africa are finding themselves in a similar environment: an oppressed local population that is becoming increasingly militant; neighbours supporting the indigenous struggles ; and increasing international sanctions and isolation.
However, beginning in September 1977, both the exam and the lecture/tutorial portions of the programme will become mandatory. That is, students who pass the initial exam will be allowed to leave the programme, but those who do not will have to stay in until they have achieved the required level. Satisfactory completion of the programme will be a degree requirement.

Arts council on Tuesday approved the implementation of a modified version of the programme next September, with the full-scale programme coming into effect by September 1977. The programme was produced by a task force set up to work out some kind of course to bring students up to at least a necessary minimum level of English language proficiency. Council had expressed its dissatisfaction with the quality of written work submitted by undergrads. There was also dissatisfaction with the achievement tests conducted last September. All full-time students entering first year arts in September will be required to take an exam consisting of an “objective” part and an not achieving a essay. Anyone satisfactory level on this exam would be invited to participate in a lecture/tutorial programme lasting about nine weeks. But participa, tion would be strictly on a voluntary basis.

RECORDS
Heavy Metal: just your basic guitar, bass and d?um kit r arrangement. Pioneered by groups like thi Yardbirds, and enhanced by groups like the Cream. Loud, very loud, basic four-four time, a ton of fuzz, and bass chords from the zone of the gut. That was the state of Heavy Metal music; today we have the latest member of the family-Paris. This is Paris’ debut album, so one should expect difficulties arising in their vinyl tracks. There are difficulties, the most glaring arriving in the form of over-production. There isn’t a track on the album that hasn’t been glossed over by various studio techniques-echoplex, distortion, whatever. You never get an opportunity to hear the real

voices of the band. This neglection is fortunate, for it only enhances the metal quality of Paris. Musically this band has no difficulties in maintaining the Heavy Metal Musical Tradition. The lead guitar work of Bob Welch (ex-Fleetwo_od Mat) is oh so typical: distort the high “E’s” to infinity, fuzz the remainder of the strings, and you have a nice sound to violate dense the listener’s ears with. Bassist Glenn Conich (ex-Jethro Tull, Wild Turkey) just keeps plunkin’ along on the wires: thumpa-thumpthump.. . ad naus”eum. Rather typi&l, and incredibly dull. Conjch also handles occasional keyboards; but, the ivoiries never have a real chance to shine, being drowned out, repeatedly. Handling the drums is Thorn Mooney (ex-Todd Rundgren’s Nazz Band) and he departed the group after

their first recording; he should be so lucky. They are the continuing tradition of the Heavy Metal Bands. Comparison to their musjcal forefathers, is rather unfair; not to Paris, but, to their ancestors. Welch is in no way a Clapton, he hasn’t the roots, nor the skill, no matter what help the studio technicians can lend. Conich match the couldn’t possibly power and expressiveness of a Jack Bruce on bass; Bruce wasn’t a zillionth as dull as Conich tends finally, Mooney to be. And fit behind Ginger couldn’t Baker’s skins. They don’t have the essence of a good Heavy Metal band, they can merely be called imitators of a fine tradition. Is Paris burning?

OPIRG challenged The Waterloo chapter of the Ontario Public Interest Research Group has recently presented its “analysis” of inflation in Canada (chevron, May 7). We take issue with several of their claims in the article by Terry Moore. 1) They claim that the theory that wage increases cause price increases is “superficial” because it ignores the role of profits. But nowhere do they say that* the theory is wrong or provide arguments to refute it. They acknowledge that lower wages mean higher profits, and they show that total corporate profits have increased by a greater percentage than total wages and salaries since 1961, but this side-steps the issue of inflation. If productivity rises sufficiently, the prices of commodities may actually fall while wages and-profits both increase, as happened with wheat production from 1950 to 1970. Because of the figures which OPIRG presents, we conclude that they believe that increases in both \wages and profits cause inflation, with profits being a greater source of inflation than wage increases. OPIRG staffers should clearly state their views on this question. We also want to know their views on the theory of inflation given b,y Max Saltsman (see chevron, Nov. 28, 1975, p.5). We believe that the theory of wageprice spiral, including Saltsman’s version, is utterly false. 2) Data on total profits and income do not “show how the owners and the workers have been fairing (sic) in this perennial battle.” On the side of wages, OPIRG has ignored the facts that a) the size of the labour force has increased 48.2% between 1961 and 1974; b) inflation in the same period of 66.7% has,.,greatly eroded the real earnings of workers; c) taxation has further reduced real earnings. As a result, real per capita income of workers has increased very little since 1961. Canadawide, real weekly wages (before taxes) in the manufacturing sector increased 35.6% from 1961 to 1974, but in KitchenerWaterloo the increase was only 28.4% in 14 years. Thus, the figure of 367% increase in ‘wages and salaries given by, OPIRG in no way represents the actual situation of individual workers. On the side of profits, OPIRG has ignored the facts that a) the number of enterprises sharing the total profits has declined since 1961; and b) the owners of capital have benefitted greatly from usurious interest rates and property price appreciation. During times ‘of rapid inflation, workers must pay more for the same necessities, so it follows that somebody must be receiving the higher price. When mortgage rates rise, the capitalist gets richer, and the worker suffers. That is, inflation has a class nature. How the workers and capitalists are faring can be assessed only by investigating their actual conditions of living and their wealth or debt. 3) Table 1 does not show the “inverse relationship between wages and profits .” Basic algebra says that when two variables are inversely related, a rise in one necessarily means a fall in the magnitude of the other. Wages and profits have both increased since 1961. Expressing them both as percentages of national income gives the false appearance of an inverse relation, because an increase in the percent of one variable requires the percent of the other to fall, even though both increase in absolute terms. OPIRG’s “inversion” is nothing more than a perversion of numbers. Furthermore, there is no law that profits will rise relatively more than wages over a 14 year’ period. The inverse relation which Marx analysed was between a sudden rise in wages and a consequent fall in profits
the c tievron
(see Wages, Price and Profit). 4) OPIRG speaks only’ of “corporate ,profits” and thus entirely ignores the distinctive feature of the highest stage of capitalism, finance capital. Under imperialism corporate profits do not reflect the full extent of exploitation of workers. Profits are realized by the capitalist paying the worker a sum in wages which is less than the value he adds to a commodity in production. This excess of value created over wages received, known as surplus value, is the source not only of industrial profits and dividends, but also of rent on land occupied by the factory, interest paid on loans and bonds, and capital accumulated or reinvested in new projects owned by the capitalist. Interest payments sometimes equal or exceed declared corporate profits, such as at Budd Automotive, but they are regarded as costs in capitalist accounting. It is foolish to accept government figures on profits at their face value. .Their statistics serve the bourgeoisie by disguising the true degree of exploitation of workers in Canada and the fantastic tribute extracted from the Canadian people by U.S. finance capitalists. We suggest that OPIRG stafserious study of fers undertake Imperialism, the Highest Stage of Capitalism by Lenin. 5) OPIRG mystifies and obscures classes and class struggle. First, they present figures on incomes and profits in a manner whit h blurs the distinction between the proletariat, the bourgeoisie, non-monopoly petty capitalists, and the big monopoly bourgeoisie. Second, they claim that the battle over Bill C-73 is between labour unions and the federal government, when it is really between the entire working class, a minority of which is organized into trade unions, and the big bourgeoisie), a majority of which comprises U.S. imperialists, and whose interests are promoted by sell-out Canadian bourgeois such as Trudeau. Third, they assert that the struggle concerns “who will get what proportion of the national income,” ignoring the fact that many workers and revolutionary intellectuals want to get rid of the capitalist system altogether, build socialsim, and do away with inflation and exploitation once and for all. Does OPIRG believe that there is a “fair” rate of profit and interest? Finally, OPIRG claims to exist above classes by calling itself a “public” interest research group and offering its resources to “anyone 1” But there is no science above classes. Either you clarify and explain the nature of capitalism and, openly oppose the bourgeoisie in order to serve the working class, or you confuse and obscure the issues and refuse to align yourself openly with either class in order to serve the bourgeoisie. Both OPIRG and Mr. Trudeau claim to represent the entire people, but at least the Prime Minister and his cronies do not claim to be progressive. If OPIRG supports the struggles of workers and opposes capitalism, they should say so clearly. We conclude that OPIRG has not explained inflation and has not analysed anything. Presenting a few columns of figures analysis. Marx analysed the is not capitalist system thoroughly, and his analysis should be used as a guide to further investigation of the situation in Canada today. It is gur view that OPIRG has done nothing, more than transport some statistics from the Government Publications department of the arts library to their own offices, all at the students’ expense. The Anti-IIfiperialist Alliance has noted that certain individuals are calling for “ideological, struggle” with AIA, providing that we promise not to beat them up. The points they have raised in recent letters do not form the basis for a debate yet, but OPIRG’s “analysis” of inflation does. We hereby declare that the debate is on, and we await OPIRG’s reply to our j . criticisms. Anti-Imperialist Alliance

thy pen Despite its billing as the ‘Newspaper of the Federation of Students’, the chevron now appears to be little more than a showpiece for the AIA. In the last issue of the winter term, there were no less than 14 articles and letters either written by an directly concerning the AIA member, AIA, or in support of an AIA issue. These . included several full page and half page artitles. Granted this sometimes makes for interesting reading, but this political game is being financed by us students. With all the talk about cutbacks, let’s start with the chevron: make it a true, non-political newspaper for the students and let the AIA pay for its own publicity. I personally know of one friend whose informative and unbiased article on Canadian politics was not published last term apparently because the chevron already had enough material
~-individuals from AIA have influence on the paper; as do many other individuals. The influence, it should be noted comes from working on the paper. -It seems obvious that-they are not a majority influence since they often disagree with some material in the paper, then they do the proper thing and write letters to Feedback. -Your figure of 14 articles by, about,- or otherwise related to AIA is a very serious distortion and we suggest you come and speak to us about it. -We would be very interested to meet your friend and to ‘peruse the &ticle which he
