task force
OB to probe why stuc/erits. am iidleOTTAWA---When there are about 125,000 unemployed students-scattered across Ontario, it’s time student leaders did something. Now, what exactly they can do to lessen the hardship for jobless students this- summer is anyone’s guess. They could pressure the provincial government tocreate jobs by holding “unemployment rallies” at Queen’s Park. Or, they could stage a rock concert in Toronto to publicize the students’ plight. But student delegates at the Ontario Federation of Students’ fifth
bartments The university will spend $75,000 over the next five years in attempt to keep water out of married students’ apartments. UW’s architect Cliff Wilson told the chevron Wednesday he hopes work on the 600 units will begin within the next couple of weeks. The .problem he explained- is that when rain water drains down the,; walls of the apartment buildings it hits the concrete slabs which form the floor at each level and if the wind is blowing ’ in a .certain direction the water flows along the concrete into the apartments. Wilson said this is a common problem with buildings of &his type, which he described as “not the greatest quality.” He intends to “attack” the problem by water-proofing all the outside walls with a “new miracalled Methylcle material” Methacrylate and by recaulking. The recaulking he hopes will prevent water from seeping in be-
annual conference ‘held here> June 5-7 opted for more research on the question of widespread studerlt unemployment. _ They passed a motion to set up a task force to “study the unemployment problem” in the province. The task force will travel around Ontario to collect statistics on-the number of jobless students and or: ganize “local actions in conjunction with various local groups,” the OFS resolution says. After the province-wide jaunt, the task force will call a news conference at Queen’s Park to report
its findings. And depending on the success of the. local organizing efforts, the OFS executive committee could stage a rally in Toronto “if and when it’s deemed appropriate.” The OFS also demands “an emergency summer employment project” from the federal and provincial governments, in addition to changes in the OSAP whit h include the elimination of summer savings requirements .“These requirements should be replaced by a realistic evaluation of student financial resources and
to cret raincoat side- the windows”, another problem some tenants face. The Methyl-Methacrylate was successful in solving a similar problem in the‘ villages Wilson said. Though some of the walls of the married students’ apartments have already been done, in response to particular complaints, the plan for each of the next five years is to spend $IS,OOO and do them all. The two 14 floor towers and the four three storey courts were built for the Ontario government by the Cadillac Corporation. They -were handed over to the university in two stages and occupation began in 1970 and 197 1. According to Ted Nowak of physical resources they were not built to UW specifications. Because they were needed in a hurry they were designed on a proposal system. By this method the contractor makes several proposals to the university, one is chosen and then the contractor hires an architect. Though this method is quicker
it is the reverse of what usually happens, Nowak explained. Normally the university hires the architect so the ‘building is designed tp its specifications, and then it gets a contractor. ) Another problem with the construction of the buildings, according to Nowak, is that it was not Iwell supervised by the government. The supervision was irregular, he said, which is not “contractors can good because get away with things.” Novak said getting Cadillac to make repairs even while the buildings were under warranty was “like pulling hens’ teeth.” But he too stressed that water leaking in was quite a normal problem for this typeof building. So far little damage seems to have been done to tenants’ property. Al Woodcock of ‘housing administration told the chevron that there has only been a need to pay compensation in one case, for a ruined rug in one of the east tower apartments. -neil

special compensation in the form of grants to those students unable to find work.” At a workshop, OFS researcher Dale Martin told the delegates that the student unemployment rate will be 29 per cent or 125,200 jobless. Last summer, the percentage of idle students hovered around 17 per cent out of a total of 415,000. Martin said most students are being forced into taking low-paying jobs and to emphasize his point he quoted a manpower ad: “Students can pick your peaches, type your letters, pump your gas, wait on your tables, answer your phone, work in your factory,fill in for Mildred who’s gone to-the beach, run your errands, dig your ditches, survey your land, be your receptionist, drive your truck, stamp. your cans, straighten- your files, work your cash register, sell your products, stock your shelves, pack your boxes, tote your barge, or liftyour bale.“’ in other words, “the public’advertising by manpower actually encourages hiring students under any and all conditions and wages,” Martin said. “Students may end up with jobs but the central question of the impact of employment on accessibility to post-secondary education will be ignored. ” Several delegates then discussed whether it womd be best to hold a mass rally in Toronto or concentrate on local actions when publicizing the high student jobless rate. Shane Roberts from the University of Waterloo said OFS should “hit the MPPs on one particular day with unemployed students .” He said the rally must be built around a “mass picnic and rock concert to haul people out of the ,J hinterland .”
Roberts also suggested that OFS send a’task force across the pro-’ vince to assess the unemployment situation, saying such an action could attract political and media attention. Doug Thompson also from Waterloo pointed out that as an organizing tool the idea of rock concert or a picnic is “not only workable but dramatically effective.” But the idea of a rock concert coupled with a mass rally was criticized by other delegates who argued it would detract from the political content of unemployment. Peter Meisenheimer from the University of Guelph asked: “How legitimate is-a-political rally going to be with a rock group? “What’s the Toronto Sun going to do with such a happening? We must remember that the working class reads the Sun and they may get the impression that we aren’t serious about our purpose.” He said he didn’t mind having some music to “liven up the rally.” Dorothy Kent of Carleton University said the rock concert seemed to be a ploy to get students to attenct. “I’m concerned that we want to get all those people there just to show that we can do it. “We could get the Rolling Stones and bring out a lot of people, but they won’t be there because of their concern for student unemployment.” Other delegates said it would be better to let local actions around the question of unemployment develop into an organized mass protest. At that stage the OFS could call for one “central action.” In the meantime, an OFS task force should travel the province to collect- information and aid the local student councils in organizing / jobless students. i

In Colombia a successful national oil cbmpany was broken up by “aid” from the IDB. The new joint venture which replaced it included the IDB (on behalf of twelve foreign private banks) the Dow Chemical corporation, and the Colombian government. , Hugh Keenleyside is the other key figure in the-Habitat hierarchy.

Then he became deputy minister of mines and resources and commissioner of the North West Territories.

Keenleyside later performed similar tasks in Bolivia as part of the UN 1economic mission. He did so with such success that he was promoted to a post in the UN which allowed him to provide corporations with similar services the world over. In 7959 he returned to his native BC Power Commission, then fol/.owing the nationalisation of BC Electric he was appointed as co-chairman of BC’Hydro and Power Authority.

Shane Roberts from the UniGersity of Waterlbo said future academic appointments at, universities ought to include more Can&. “understand their dians who country’s problems.” “We now have a predominance of an American school of thought at Canadian universities.. . (and) we must lbok at some way to curb this tendency.” But the issue of preferential treatment for Canadians was dropped when delegates were told that it promoted Eultural nationalism. Chris Harries, OFS information officer, said if Canadians are given an edge over foreigners it’ll brihg about a cultural nationalism not unlike that of Nazi Germany ‘in the 1930s. “The idea of cultural nationalism is so silly and sterile since it encourages the need for a domestic counterpart for every foreign invention or innovatiqn.” He said student leaders should concern themselves more about hovir a course is taught rather than with the nationaiity of the instrucQ tor. Harries also said further investigation is needed to show whether discriminated. Canadians are against when applying for teaching jobs. Paul Johnston, OFS researcher, said Canadians must compete with professors of other countries to improve’the quality of education. “I can’t see letting a good person go jyst because of his or lier nationality.” He added that if student leaders want to strengthen Canadian Studies at universities than they ought to pressure the government’ to pour in more funds for re‘search and program expansion.
To put the record straight Because of an error in putting last week’s paper together two important paragraphs were left out of the front page story. The story headed “Guard firm seeks student strength,” reported that the Kitchener branch of Wackenhut of Canada was looking for strong students to shadow Toronto Star delivery vans in the event of a strike on that paper. The following should have’ come after the sentence which begins:
“Matthews-left Torrie a phone number.. .” “On Wednesday a chevron staffer phoned Wackenhut, saying he had heard of a job “driving Toronto Star trucks or-something,” and would like some details about it. A receptionist referred him to aman in the office who said Wackenhut was looking for 20 people to form a task force which would be used for a variety of jobs. The Wackenhut representative added that in the event of a strike at the Star the task force personnel. would drive unmarked cars behind Star delivery vans. He also explained that thecompany had other jobs on-construction sites and told the staffer to come into the office and complete an application form.

If “Missouri Breaks” is going to be the film that introduces “Canadian jokes” tdNorth American audiences, then it might be Canadian films themselves that perpetuate the genre. “Breaking Point” was made entirely in Toronto, but for most of the film our very own “Downtown Canada” plays the role of Philadeli phia. When -Toronto finally. does get to make a cameo appearance it’s as the -Timbuktu of North -America, the out-of-the-way place of refuge for decent America*ns escaping from the terrorizing vengefulness of the home-town mob. Toronto is the land of quaint, ancient, cobwebbed houses (“ohhhh, the evctricity doesn’t work”) surrounded’ by honest-to-goodness trees! Fortunately there were a few scenes of a densely commercialized downtown and a chase and crash scene on an expressway; otherwise Canada’s little-league image would have added to the
laughs. “There’s there .”
And yes, of course: plenty of hockey up -
Actually, there’s little to laugh at in “Breaking Point”. It’s another movie that strings together murders and brutalities mostly as a showcase for unusual but raunchy cinematic techniques. The excuse for -bringing this violence to the screen is not unusual: it’s a thread of vigilante morality, overused, weak to begin with, and after “Straw Dogs”, “Death Wish”, “Taxi Driver”, etc. it is now becoming quite frayed. “Breaking Point” describes how a man, his family and friends are viciously beseiged by thugs after he has acted as a dutiful citizen and turned in two of the gang members. After police protection fails (no surprise here) he and his family undergo identity changes, and, courtesy of the state, are shipped off to a safe place, good old Toronto. But even here the thugs can get at him and the murder of a friend breaks whatever gentleness he supposedly had in the first place. The tenor of the major roles in the film is suddenly reversed. Whereas up to now ultra-cool and shrewd cruelty was the sole property of the villains, McBain, the

hero, suddenly decides that anything they can do bad, he can do . worse, especially because he has some sort of god on his side. The badguys are just as suddenly transformed into terrified cowards; all the murderous skills, firepower, and numbers which previously made them seem invincible now evaporate when McBain shows up at a business promotion party sponsored by the chief crook. There’s nothing to learn from McBain’s magical ability to deal with the crooks. The audience is presented with caricatures of bad guys with no hints as to where they come from or the social and economic conditions which allow them to operate. Given such a shallow context. for this evil we are naturally left mystified and vulnerable in the face of the terror which it delights the film-makers to present. The only-people or institutions to whom McBain offers trust in his predicament are the police, clearly not one of the most honest groups presently 0,perating in North America. McBain plays the powerful head of his family (even though it ap$eat-s he is not married to the woman he lives with and is not the father of her child-here we have a movie promoting patriarchy in relationships which usually are attempts to break it down); his anger forces them to submit to-playing the game according to his morality and style. He’s not beneath lying to them to preserve his’ pat,ronizing solutions. Among the basic premises of this film stands out the one that all decision-making and action is essentially individualist and made aguinst or in competition with otherpeople. McBain is a character who never attempts to work out in a collective way problems . that clearly involve not just his own life but the lives of people around him. By narrowing the scope of the film to his individualistic acts the filmmakers are obviously concerned not with problem solving but with pure sensationalism. ’ , ’

Shane Roberts, with the aid of N.U.S., has again shown his desire to liquidate the student movement against cutbacks in education and social services. Using the N.U.S. plan for a.National Student Day (see chevron, May 28th 1976) as an opportunity for this, Roberts has said that he wants a debate on how “we expand and alter higher education to meet the challenges which confront society”. This debate took place during the 60’s, he said, and from the above quote we can see that he would like it to happen again. The issue of education in society is not the j most urgent issue facing students presently. By calling for, and encouraging this debate, Roberts is trying to lead students away from the real issue facing them - the attack on students and the people of Ontario through cutbacks in education and social services by the Ontario Government in service to U.S. imperialism. Debate on how to deal with this issue is already being waged across Ontario as well as across Canada. Not, as Roberts would like to have it, debate on how students use education to ‘meet the challenges which confront society’. Roberts stated during and after the presidential election campain that he was the only candidate to put forward a strategy of dealing with the cutbacks. Where is this strategy? What has it produced? From his recent activity we ?$eeithat Roberts would rather call ‘for?debate -on secondary issues than actually deal with the primary one threatening all students. In this way he is able to confuse a,nd liquidate the movement of students against their enemy. As Roberts continues with this sort of activity, the intense struggle against him during the presidential election campain in February will become more and more relevant. Chris

Liomsm defended‘ 1 am not at all surprised that Salah Bachir would fall for the fabricated Arab myths. I do hope that you, Bachir, will allow me to CORRECT your myths with the TRUTH. Your comparative statements on Chile and Israel (May 21, 1976) hypothesize that: 1. American Imperialism is responsible for Israel’s creation and existence. 2. Zionist racism must be eradicated by the Arab people. The American SUPPORT for a Jewish State has been longlived within the minds and spirit of the American people. From the mid-1800’s to President Wilson’s views on the “self-determination” of rising nationstates Americans desired to see the restoration of the Jewish people to their ancient homeland Israel. Because of Wilson’s Fourteen Points not only was a de facto Jewish State established but so were the ARAB STATES of Syria, Transjordan (later Jordan), Egypt and Lebanon. After World War 1I and the holocaust of six million Jews, American and world sympathy impelled the newly created United Na; tions to grant to the Jewish refugees an independant sovereign territory in the Middle East. Bachir, do you not realize that the United States.was not even.2 member of the United Nations Special Committee on Palestine which recommended to further divide the de facto Jewish State of Israel into smaller Araband Jewish districts. When partition was voted upon the Americans were but one of thirty-three countries which approved the UNSCOP partition plan. (Foreign Relation of United States 1947). The American “imperialist”-policy in recent years that you mention can be discussed in four periods. From 1967 to 1973 American support for Israel has occurred due to the IMPERIALIST SOVIET -INrising
TEREST in the Middle East. From June 1967 to January 1969 the Johnson adminstration became interested in Israel’s geographic position as a fortress against the rising threat of Nasser’s PanArabism and the Soviet Imperialist offensives of establishing their p&-dominance in the Middle East. The second phase of American SUPPORT towards Israel occured in the first year of. the Nixon administration (1969). During the second phase a more balanced shift in the Middle East occured - e.g. the Roger Plan. The third period of American involvement in the Middle East happened from 1970-1972. During these years the United States again viewed Israel as a bulwark against Soviet Imperialism. The elimination of the SovieA presence and’the restoration of the Super Powers to normalcy‘became the utmost concern of America. During this period Israel and many Arab countries received military and financial support. The fourth phase occured in mid-1972 when President Sadat began to realize that Russia’s presence in Egypt was denying him the option of military and political control over his own country. By kicking the Soviety Union out of Egypt he cleverly decreased the tension between the Super Powers. On October 6, 1973 the fourth ArabIsrael confrontation began. With little respect for the holiest day of the Jewish yearYom Kippur - the Arab offensive was initiated by Egypt and Syria with their Russian equipment. After the Yom Kippur War the United States exploited the shaky political and military situationto re-establish her diplomatic ties with the Arab World. Bachir, you may find Nadav Safran’s The United States and Israel (Cambridge, 1963) and Sholomo Slonim’s article “Balance and Imbalance in America’s Middle East Policy” in Midstream June, 1969 and Walter Laqueur’s . book Confrontation (London, 1974) of interest. They are surely more factual sources and truthful sources then your ARAB PROPAGADA pamphlet Zionism is ,Racism. A second myth that you, Bachir fall for is that Israel is a racist Zionist state. The AB! SURDITY of this statement and the MISREPRESENTATION OF FACTS once again illustrates the quoted statement that I previously mentioned in my last letter. Let me CORRECT your fabricated lies. Zionism is the national liberation movement of the Jewish people. The aim of Zionism was to re-establish and maintain the ancient Jewish homeland of Isreal that was in existence prior to the destruction of the Second Temple in Jerusalem in 70 A.D. In Israel to’day live Jews of many colours and religious beliefs. Moreover within Israel co-exist‘ Christian and Moslem Arabs, Druze, Bahais and Circassians. All o‘f these minority groups are granted and guaranteed under State law freedom of speech, assembly, press, education and religion. The Arab and Druze inhabitants are also represented in the Knesset (Israel’s Parliament). Moreover, the recent West Bank elections ,have been heralded throughout the world as being one of the freest ARAB elections ever. Mark

After analysing the delegates’ occupations, and salaries, Pleet concludes that they are not workers. If they are not workers,, they must be thinkers, because they are certainly not welfare recipients. Does Pleet actually believe that self-employed people, and people without fixed incomes arenot workers? What does he think they do for a living?
