More than 70 students attending a mass meeting Monday night agreed almost unanimously that the only way to achieve a correct resolution ofthe conflict between the Federation of Students and the campus newspaper, the chevron, is to reinstate the paper and then to investigate the facts surrounding its closure. Chevron staff called the meeting to challenge the federation execu,tive to present evidence justifying its action in closing down the paper. Despite claims that it will let the students decide, no one from the executive showed up so the session turned into a question and answer period following a brief from the, chevron’s elected spokesperson, Neil Docherty. Docherty’s brief dealt with the allegations against the chevron and its staff made by federation president Shane Roberts and the executive members of some of the student societies. He also presented evidence that Roberts and former federation president Andy Telegdi had plagiarized articles they submitted to the chevron last-year. Most of the stories were plagiarized from UW News, -the

the reinstatement of the chevron until an investigation can be launched. (See task force article-) Two proposed Board of Publications by-laws and one proposal for a temporary chevron review board were submitted to council Sunday, and received for information purposes only. The two proposed board of publications by-laws differ substantially from the existing board- of publications by-laws (which includes sections describing the function. purposes and operation of the continued
resentation from the chevron.” The chevron decided at a staff meeting not to send representatives to the task force since, according to Roberts, the purpose of the task force was “not to investigate the ‘old ’ chevron but to set up a ‘new’ chevron.” Friday, the chevron sent two representatives with a request for a reinstatement of the chevron and a thorough investigation to take priority over any other actions. The mandate was defeated initially, however a motion was passed on Saturday to rescind all motions made Friday. -Among the comments of the members of the task force were “(We) should restore positive relations between the chevron and the federation’ ’ , “the AIA does have-a place in the paper”, and “ . . . we should not even attempt to purge political groups . . .”

A- five-hour debate marked by :onfusion+ and wrangling was iparked by a presentation to the :ouncil from the chevron staff caling for an investigation after the me-instatement of the chevron as it vas September 24 before the feder&ion executive locked the chevron office doors. The chevron staff statement ar:ued that they had done nothing vrong .which could be used to jusify the suspension of the news-baper and firing of two paid staff nembers. “At the same time, the students t UW do have every right to critiize the chevron and investigate its istory and how the paper is run,” aid the statement. “But we mainain that this investigation should le carried out in the proper maner.” The statement urged council to :scind all motions on the chevron assed by the council since Sep=mber 24, and to initiate an invesgation into the chevron - -with le council, student societiegand tudents specifying their objections 1 the first three chevron issues of eptember, to be followed by relies from the chevron staff and hanges in the paper itself “where rgitimate criticism exists.” The statement generated intense ebate among councillors, and a otice of motionwas introduced by rts councillor Donna Rogers to :scind two September 30 council lotions - the suspension-of the hevron for four weeks, and the limination of the positions of news ditor and production manager.

The task force was struck on September 30 but didn’t meet until Wednesday, October 13. The task force was supposed to come up with by-law changes for Sunday’s council meetmg, but many members of the task force felt pressured by the time constraint. This was cited as a major reason for not presenting any proposals. The first meeting saw many task force members’ questioning Shane Roberts on the usefulness and effectiveness of the task force, asking: “What is the problem at hand? What are the symptoms? Are we trying to cure symptoms?” John Kessel, a reporter for the’ K-W Record, saidthere were “too many _ people on the task force.” He suggested that an arbitrator and a representative from each of the chevron and the student’s council decide the case. Kessel later resigned from the task force “because there is no rep-

About 400 twin-city workers joined by some UW students and faculty marched through downtown Kitchener on Ott 14 to protest the Federal government’s wage controls one year after their inception. Demonstrations were a/so he/d in Cambridge and Cuelph as part of the Canadian Labour Congress’ National Day of Protest. A survey of the Waterloo Region conducted by the k’itchener-Waterloo Record estimated that about 4,800 workers stayed-off work on the day. President of the Kitchener Labor Council Orville Thacker blamed the cold weather for’the low turnout at the march. There were, however, some questions about the organization. One woman interviewed said she had to phone up ten /oca/s before she could get any details on the demonstration. After a march along King Street Thacker addressed the demonstrZ%s urging them’ to vote for the New Democratjc 6. Party as the on/y party against the wage controls. Across- th@ country over one million workers took the day off.

university’s information service, in an apparent attempt by Roberts and Telegdi to gain a vote in selecting fulltime -chevron staff, Docherty said. Questions from the audience dealing with policies and operations of the newspaper were filded by Docherty and other chevron staff members. The relatively low turnout was attributed by some staffers to the fact that posters put up advertising the meeting were mysteriously torn down almost as soon as they had been posted. . -henry

The federation has called a general meeting to implement changes in the bylaws governing the chevron, but the task force established to make bylaw recommendations wants the meeting adjourned. The task force told a student council meeting Sunday it couldn’t make any proposals for the general meeting on.October 29 since it did not have time to investigate the operations of the chevron and did not want to be rushed into making proposals. Without task force recommendations, math rep Selma Sahin questioned the value of holding the meeting, considering it +‘. . .a waste of time’:. But according to federation president Shane Roberts the general meeting cannot be cancelled since notice has already been\ given. _ As a result Glen Murphy, the engineering representative on the task force, has moved to adjourn the meeting. Notices of motion to adjourn the meeting are first on the agenda.> If the motion is passed, another general meeting will probably be called when the task force has made its recommendations. If the motion is defeated, there are by-law and other proposals on the agenda which-can be considered. Each student at a general meeting can hold up to five proxy votes. Proxy forms can be obtained from the federation office and the completed forms must be submitted to that office at least 24 hours before the general meeting. L A student can proxy his vote for all items on the agenda or can specify items by number. The items on the agenda have been published and copies of the agenda can be obtained in the campus center. -pc%r

Bullseyenot on target-Doug Thompson, editor of the bullseye, :deration “newsletter: ame under a barrage of attacks at unday’s @dent council meeting. Yice-president Dave McLellan !rst asked Thompson by what aulority bullseye was published, aying the federation executive had uthorized the publication of a ewsletter and not a newspaper. Thompson replied “. . .not havlg been given any direction. ..(I) ecided it was cheaper to use lewsprint and that format.” Among other things, Thompson ias accused of copying a story terbatim from Radio Waterloo. rhompson_said the next_issue of bullseye would contain at least four etractions and that he was “sorry I neglected to put in my sources of nformation (Radio Waterloo and ;ciSoc).” Questioned why Mike Ura and )PIRG were credited in the masth:ad wheri they had not contributed replied o the paper; Thompson hat “Ura had promised a submiswas mistaken Iion ” and “OPIRG
for KW Probe.” But the people at KW Probe said they did not have a submission in bullseye either. They had talked to Thompson earlier and had promised to submit an article on the state of Elor=r Gorge, however the study won’t be finished for at least another week. Math representative Selma Sahin thought the newsletter should restrict itself to news. “I know what news is”, Thompson said, “News is what you send reporters out to get.” And “.. .to have news, it requires reporters making the news.” Asked whether bullseye was being run democratically, since it does not operate under any bylaws, Thompson replied “It is hard to run a paper deplocratically when you’re the only one on it.. .I made a horrendous number of decisions on my own.” Other Thompson comments such as: “I didn’t know what to do with it (bullseye)” drew several suggestions from observers. zpeter

The handbook, produced over le summer by former board of ublications chiirperson Ralph orrie had a budget of $5,000, of hich $3,000 was to come from adzrtising and $2,000 to be provided v the federation. Final production costs, including orrie’s salary, came to $7,800. his was partially offset by an extra 500 in advertising gathered for the andbook, but still left council in le position of having to more than ruble its subsidy. Dntinued from page 1 / ’ levron .) Both federation presidkfii Shane oberts and executive chairperson ave McLellan have submitted almrnative proposals for by-laws jverning the chevron. An effort to ;ree on a common by-law was uniccessful. McLellan said that the main lints of difference between the Ire proposed by-laws are differIces in decisions about who is on Lechevron volunteer staff and the volvemerit of a proposed editorial lard in the choosing of paid staff. McLellan insisted that he doesn’t plan to compromise” hen his proposed by-law comes 3 to the general meeting, even lough people -have approached .m with suggested changes. Roberts’ proposal for changes ould give responsibility for the litorial policy of the chevron to e board of publications instead of e editor-in-chief. Although this is becified under the existing byws, in practice the chevron staff akes all editorial and procedural :cisions.
gineers who make themselves available to other engineers, especially the frosh, to talk about anyproblems they want to discuss. Currently there are about six official peer counsellors (at least one from each of the five departments), however Tremblay suggested that more 4th year students were most welcome to volunteer their services. Common subject areas discussed concern the choosing of a curriculum and work terms. Although only two.people have taken advantage of this program so far this term, Tremblay predicts that the winter term will be much busier. That is the time when many of the 1st year general engineers start to seriously think about which engineering discipline (civil, eleG trical or mechanical) they wish to enter in the next year. Senior students-can help in such a crucial decision becauSe they have made that choice and have had several years to reflect upon it, discovering the pros and cons al&g the way, Tremblay said. Since the program’s inception in the summer of 1975, it has coiltinued in every EngSoc ‘A’ term to date. To get in contact with Tremblay, simply drdp him a note with your name and phone number on it, at the EngSoc office, E4 lounge.

The board of publications would consist of five voting members only two of whom would represent the chevron: the editor-in-chief and one volunteer staff member - as well as a number; of non-voting members. Proposed amendments to this would include one or two students elected at large, two rather than one volunteer staff member, and one representative from each of the societies rather than one to represe’nt all the societies. McLellan% proposed by-law agrees with Roberts’ i? specifying editorial control by the board of publications, and in describing membership of the board. _ Among the duties and powers of the board. of publications in Roberts’ proposed by-law me “to advise and direct the.editor-in-chief of the newspaper with regard to the editorial policy of the student newspaper; to appoint the editdrin-chief of the newspaper; to hire and dismiss temporary personnel”. By McLellan’s proposal, the editor-in-chief would not be hired
by the board of publications. Instead, app,lications for the position would be submitted by January 31 of eat h year, and would be reviewed in a meeting of the chevron staff. The staff would make a selection’ and submit it to federation counciwatification. If council did not ratify the staff choice, the staff would submit another name. Roberts and McLellan differ on defining membership in the voluntary chevron staff. Roberts would have the board of publications define membership, whereas McLellan would have a staff committee appointed by the editor compose a list of staffers. The third proposal on the ieneral meeting agenda calls for the creation of a temporary chevron review board which would consist of six members: two from council; two from the chevron and two “objective members of the federation.” The function ofthe review board would be to convene only when council had agreed that the editorin-chief might not be “acting in his designated capacity for the general information and well-being of the federation” or that he might have “prescribed arbitrary interpretations to, or ignore, the constitution, charter, by-laws or code of ethics of the Canadian University Press.” _ Recommendations made by the

CUP resolution This special meeting of the Ontario RegiGn of the Canadian University Press on October 16,1976 expresses its firmest-sup_ port for the chevron in its fight against the anti-democratic and arbitrary suspension and firings used against it by the University of Waterloo student federation council, led by Shane Roberts. The struggle of the chevron staff to oppose this attack is a just one and merits the aid and admiration of all Canadian students-journalists or ndt. The action of the UW federation council is deplorable, and must be condemned. We call on the UW student council to reinstate the chevron and its staff as it was September 24, 1975 before its attempted closure. To the council we say: Hands off the chevron! Passed

A// is not lost..! Engineers out on work terms who are informed that they must drop out or repeat a term -due to unsatisfactory grades in‘the previous term have an option of appealing through the\ EngSoc Appeals. Committee. This committee, presently headed by EngSoc ‘A’ ptesident Rob Morrison, consists of senior engineering students, each responsible for appeals from students in a specific discipline plus one person respqnsible for appeals from 1st year students. The committee sets out to get an overview of the situation by discussing the problem with the student and the professor concerned. If the appeal seems just the committee will inform its representative on the Examination and Prom-
otions Committee of the case and this rep will then do his/her best to change the previous decision in that case. Morrison said that the number of appeals averages around 15-20 per term. Of the appeals received in this term, (from last term’s students), the majority are, from 1st year students. Morrison considers that at least 50 per cent of the appeals EngSoc usually receives seem to be reasonable, and of the cases that the appeals committee decides to fight for, a very rough average of 50 per cent are successful.

volution,” said MS. Fundora, “has been the new- role that women play.” . Asked about the family in Cuba, the speakers said that Cubans follow the socialist principles laid down by Marx ‘and Engels. The family, -in conjunction with the school, brings up children as future communist leaders. This is the central role of the family, they said. In explaining Cuba’s involvement in Angola, Martinez declared that Cuba strives to further proletariat internationalism, and that the Cubans were in Angola to ‘“defend socialist principles established by the MPLA.” Besides the ideological considerations, there are the “historical ties between, Cubans and Africans”, said ’ Martinez, adding: “Cuban soldiers and civilians volunteered to go to Angola to fight capitalism and imperialism.” In response to a question on how Cuba can be compared with other socialist ountries, the speakers declared tfl at “it is a waste of time and effort” to discuss similarities and/or differences between socialist countries. Instead, attention should be directed toward fighting “the huge problem of capitalism.” Cuba, they said, follows neither the Chinese nor the Soviet model. “Our policies are based on Marxism-Leninism,” said Martinez, “as applicable to our society and need.s and our national character.” Asked about the future for Cuba after Fidel Castro, the Cuban speakers replied that “not much will change . ’ ’ “The revolution is based on the proletariat, not on particular individuals. The Party will go on.”

-Nevertheless council refused- to accept his resignation when it met on September 26. Then on September 30, council passed a motion stating: “Moved that Students’ Council eliminate the positions of news editor, production manager, and editor-inchief of the Chevron, and give notice to the affected employees of their immediate termination of employment. . . .” Roberts presented the motion after an earlier one to fire Hess and Docherty ran into opposition from some councillors.

At their next meeting on October 7, council decided retroactively to remove the position of editor-inchief from the motion, as Roberts said he had been advised that council could not elimindte a position created by bylaw. He also said that Rodway’s resignation is being “held in abeyance ,” but did not say why-or for how long. Docherty and Hess stated that on October 8 federation business manager Pete Yates handed each of them a letter dated October 6 telling them that their employment had been terminated on September 30. They added that they have since obtained legal counsel and been advised that “the resolution adopted by Students’ the Council. . .was brie which neither the Students’ Council nor the Board of Directors of the Federation had power or authority to make and is therefore of no effect:” They said they are considering legal action against the federation. Rodway said-that he has not yet received any notification and assumes he is still on payroll, although no one from the federation has contacted him to advise him of his status. . He also said that he disagrees with the federation action in closing the chevron and that he has no intention of returning as editor although he would be willing ,to work for the chevron as a staff member.

The three Cubans--two women, Albertina Fundora and Marissa Guterrez, and a man, Francisco Martinez-said that since the revolution, a nation-wide campaign to eliminate illiteracy has been so successful that by 1980 “all Cubans will have at least a sixth-grade education.” Improved teaching methods based on “correct socialist principles”, and increaseid educational opportunities (such as highly popular night courses for farmers) have contributed to the diminuti&n of the town-country distinctions, said Martinez. In response to a question on the role of women, the Cubans said that taday there are women in the Central committee of the Party, as well as women heading engineering departments in institutes of higher learning. “One of the &umphs of the re-

Cutbacks Chevron staff announced this week the opening of an education cutbacks bureau-with responsibility for investigating how cutbacks in government funding and rises in thecosts of living are affecting students, faculty and staff at UW. The-bureau has its own contingent of researchers and writers, and it invites new people to get involved in this work. The bureau plans to begin with investigation of the local situation in order to reach conclusions on a firm foundation of facts. Preliminary investigation has already uncovered some interesting facts, and it has pointed to some important questions which must be answered. Many students and faculty report that they seem to be working harder than ever before, but what has changed in concrete terms? Are all departments in the universityvbeing

In historical terms, when did the cutbacks begin in earnest, and how v&s it possible for the campaign of cutbacks to gain acceptance for so: long? All of these questions will be addressed by the new bureau. Cutbacks appear to be of two broad types. Cutbacks in capital construction and the hir‘ing of new staff and faculty tend to ‘affect mainly those people outside UW by curtailing accessibility to education for the youth and to teaching jobs for graduating students. Cutbacks in funding for the activities already under way have a direct and immediate effect on faculty and students alike.

In a free chevron interview afterthe October 13 meeting, Seibel said that the second part of the statement was “added by myself with the approval of the vice-president and one other council member.” But the vice-president, Heather Rorrison, told the chevron that Seibel “took the wrong statement to the council. She got them mixed up.” Seibel dropped a copy of the statement into federation president Shane Roberts’ mailbox in the,federation of students’ office immediately after the Arts council meeting. The one sentence statement later appeared in The Other Voice, a publication which was collated in the federation of students office and which contained statements against the chevron from the Arts, Math and Engineering societies. There-was no approval given by either the arts council or the arts society executive for the statement to-appear in The Other Voice, and Seib says she does not know who submi“t ted it to the paper. “I didn’t know it would go into The Other Voice. But I’m not surprised and I can’t say I’m all that upset by it,” Seibel told the chevron. Replying to a question by the chevron reporter at the October 13 meeting, Seibel said that there had been no formal investigation into the chevron conducted by the Arts Society before issuing its September 29 statement. But Arts Society members read ; the chevron and “are supposed to be informed” about the chevron, she added.

The Arts Society council has approved a milder anti-chevron motion than one presented to the September 30 federation council meeting by then-president Cyndy . Seibel. At its regular’ meeting October 13, the council ratified only the first sentence of Seibel’s statement to council, which read: “We of the Arts Society council strongly endorse the actions of the Federation with respect to the chevron, and hope th;it the Federation will take a stronger line.” Arts council members objected to two additional sentences, which claimed that the Anti-Imperialist Alliance has filled the chevron with a “disproportionate congestion” of “one political philosophy .” Several representatives pointed lut that only the first sentence had 3een given even unofficial approval at the September 29 Arts council neeting.

The student funded and controlled organization needs directors serving two year terms to iovern the policy and directionsof OPIRG’s research and popular education programs. Allocation of the annual budget of $34,000 to areas of projects, publications, staffing, provincial organizing and social action, is the responsibility of elected board members. Administration of itudent money is a small part of OPIRG’s activities. As well as research on public issues OPIRG involves student project teams and staff in examining, and acting on, community concerns, utilizing academic credit for public interest work. OPIRG has had-a high profile in news recently with their documentation of govemmenl\ neglect of. mercury poisoning in riorthern Ontario, in a 28 page, tabloid ‘Quicksilver and Slow- -Death’. On-going research includes: examination of industrial health problems in K-W, water pollution in ‘the Region, proposed legiilation on freedom of information, and public participation in Hydro planning. Soon to be released are reports on ‘who owns the banks’ and land development in K-W. The newly elected board of directors will need to be able to combine personal energy and time and their student interests into making OPI-RG a strong student operated resource and action centre. There are four candidates for three positions, each representing a diverse background of experiences. It is up to U of W students to vote for their representatives. _ Voting can take place at three polling stations from 9 am to 4:30 pm Tuesday and Wednesday at Eng IV foyer outside I$ngSoc of fices, Environmental Studies foyer and the Campus Centre Great Hall. All students who did not request OPIRG refunds in September are paid members and eligible to vote.

With the diversity and number of problems that can be handled by OPIRG, there must necessarily be logical policy decisions regarding (1) choice and format of research tind (2) general functiotiing of the organization.

With the recent “shutdown” -of the chevron it is interesting to note that this action is costing University of Waterloo students a lot of money. Former chevron editor Adrian Rodway who is no ldnger on campus and whose resignation has been accepted bychevron staff remains on the federation payroll at $160 a week. Brenda Wilson’s duties as ad manager for the chevron are being ignored for this same salary. The October 1 issue of the chevron which was not printed due to federation action left students with an approximate $700 type-setting charge. . . Add to this the high penalties the feds will pay to Youthstream (an ad service) for violating their contract to carry ads. Outlay for The Other Voice, said to be funded by some societies
though refunded later by the federation, will be over $600. The student is also paying the‘ shot for the federation’s bullseye which carried no outside’ ads in its first issue. The bullseye’s “editor” Doug Thompson has abandoned his role as federation fieldworker to put out his paper to the tune of another $80 a week. With__ this totaled and with the realization that there are additional costs (extraordinary publications, possible lawyer fees) it leads one to wonder how the federation has so much superfluous money around.

In the report the committee states that the Commission on Canadian Studies, “does not make its case for Canadian studies from a nationalistic perspective.” The task force felt a basic premise of the Commission report was that “all men have the right and the need to seek self-knowledge.” The task force report goes on to say that “we, as a group, support the validity of the basic rationale underlying ‘To Know of Ourselves’ . . . .The University Waterloo should accept the findings and recommendations of the Symons Report (“To Know Ourselves”) as a guide in future planningand decision making.” The task force feels that there. is a need “ . . . to attain a mature and respectable attitude towards Canadianoriented scholarship.” The several i-ecommendations of the senate task force have been accepted by senate in principal and are tiow in the process of being browht before several committees. On,e of these recommendations is to greatly increase present funding which is not felt adequate by the Task Force. UW has been active in Canadian Studies programmes since 1969 when it ran one of the first undergrad programmes in the country ininterdisciplinary work on Canada. It helped fund a 1973 conference which led to the formation of the Association for Canadian Studies. -karen

Mike Dillon till be responsible for organizing November 9 activities. There are still few details available, but Clark was able to give a general outline of plans for the day. To this point plans call for a series of stident workshops, to be held in the Campus Centre, on topics such as women &the university, international students and the role of the non-Canadian student, municipal elections, student housing, student employment, student aid and tuition, education cutbacks and the quality of education.
The evening will feature speakers in the Humanities Theatre on the topic “What is the future of our university?“. Included on this program will be UW finaoce vicepresident, Bruce Gellatly , and federation president Shane Roberts. Clark also pointed out that there will be ample- written material and research available, including a background paper for each of the workshops. * The travelling information table which was to be on campus 30 hours a week for four weeks lead-

Clark noted that until plans for NSD are more consolidated it will not be known how much of the $980 budgeted will be spent.

groups - those students who could write a good sentence and paragraph and those who could not, according to Engli-sh professor Ken Ledbetter. The groups of students invited to attend the program is divided into two sections. One sectidn is scheduled this term to attend a six week lecture series g&en by Mary Thysell, the proficiency program supervisor, and to attend tutorials where assistance is provided on a 1: 1 basis. The oth_er section is scheduled to attend next term. About 50% of this term’s section has taken part in the program. There will be continuous reevaluation and assessment throughout the year. The group now attending the clinic will be asked to rewrite the exam in December. The group scheduled for tutorials next term will also be retested to see if they have improved on their own this term. The tutors who marked the exam essays were given extensive training and worked under tight supervision. Each essay was marked by at least two-people. Any essay that was deemed questionable or problem&c by the marker was reviewed by both Thysell and Ledbetter. It would seem that a high degree of consist&y and standardizaiion was achieved in the essay marking since there was 3 high cor-
relation between the objective results and the &say marks. The objective section’is a Standardized test used in the US as part of entrance exams for college students. The essay section was made up here by the Arts faculty. The department hopes to design a test for next-fall which would more accurately discern between the two groups - those who can write a good sentence and those who cannot. Ledbetter stated that this year’s objective test deals with more style subtleties than UW wants in its programBoth WLU and U of G gave this same objective test to their students but they are not conducting any follod-up program this year. Although there is no co-ordination among these groups, UW will compare its results with the other schools as soon as their data is compiled. The Arts faculty is hoping to have discussions in the next year with the high schools to get a line on the problems. They are currently trying to determine the correlation between these test results and the high school marks of the students. They are also looking into any connection between a given high school and the marks of its graduates. ’

Marathbn-Man in for a good run “Marathon Man” -(showing at the Capitol) is an incredibly tight, engrossing movie which does not let up its suspense until the final frames of the film. “Babe” (Dustin Hoffman) is a graduate student of history and a long-distance runner. He is drawn into a complex plot involving Christian Szell (Laurence Olivier), “the wealthiest and most wanted Nazi still alive”, who has come out of hiding from Uruguay to claim the diamonds his late brother had put. away in a safety-deposit box in a bank in Manhattan. Babe’s brother (Roy Scheider) is also involved as an agent of a bureau in between the FBI and CIA. Szell, thinking that Babe knows what his brother knows (he doesn’t), kidnaps him and tries to force him to divulge whether it is safe or not . . .- well, since Babe isn’t told<hat “it” is,. it would be unfair to tell you. Suffice to say that the plot is intriguing. Screenwriter William Goldman doesn’t indulge in lengthy explanations of the story’s inwhich would slow it tricacies, down. Everything falls neatly into place at the right moment. But, as I was warned before the film started, don’t blink or you’ll sit there blankly, wondering what it was you missed. Actually,. if you stay with the movie, you’ll fin&that it won’t even let you blink. ~b From the opening scene, I was waiting for director John Schlesinger to lapse into tedium and slip into the routine mold of so many suspense thrillers made in the past few years. This movie is so skillfully edited that any scene filmed that might have been super/fluous has met its end on the cutting room floor. The photography throughout is superb, and blends in perfectly with the story. The use of-interesting camera angles and wide-angle lenses sets the atmosphere and at notime detracts from the action or becomes an irritant (which also often happens in movies more pretentious than sincere). _ The musical score fits the movie so well that I almost didn’t notice it.

Da Jiap Hwei anyone? One should not be too hasty in writing off the fine eating pleasures n the K-W area. Some places have qualities not to be had in any of the .arge cities. One such place is the Canton Restaurant, just at the foot of Market Square in Kitchener. Established Tar over seven years, it is a symbol Df the small but determined chef who has resisted being swallowed 3p by the fast food chains. The Leung family, which owns the enterprise, can be seen as making the Canton Restaurant the hallmark of a casual and relaxed approach to life as reflected in its cuisine and atmosphere; The Canton Restaurant can give the impression to the unsuspecting of being simply another ChineseCanadian restaurant: its storefront recedes rather than protrudes at King and Cedar streets. The plainness of the 1950’s bench style tables by its very modesty demands that the restaurant be discovered. Despite this, many never find it, or leave it almost as they found it. But, to judge by this group would be unfair. One way to understand this place is by looking at its hard-core customers who keep coming back: the truck driver, the mechanic, the
candidate. . . At first we find no real reason why these people would return time and again. Through the eternally swinging door that leads to the kitchen, we can hear a constant and unrestrained chatter in Cantonese. Sometimes the waiter standing in front of your table shouts something foreign to the back while laughter leaks out the door. ‘Chopstick House’ ‘and ‘China House’ just up the street are no-, thing like this.

Genet expressed the wish that to enhance this idea, the play be produced using young men instead of women’ in the parts of the maids. This -University production is in _ fact doing just this, adding to his feeling that everything in the theatre is illusion, nothing is real. To explain this play in bold, simple statements is impossible. Genet’s style is elusive, his mind too subtle and his sympathies too -quick for facile analysis. He is a writer of surging power and dazzling imagination who creates a world that is evil, malignant and vivid. However, the theatre is a place for attacks on the senses as well as appeals to the mind; and Genet’s works are events which combine the excitement of originality with the simplicity of ritual. It is the hope through this production to create an experimental evening of theatre for both audience and cast. The production is also being offered in a matinee per- ,j formance on October 29 at 2pm for high schools, at special discount prices. Tickets are available now at the Main Box Office, Rm 254 Modern Languages Building, UW Campus ext. 2126 or 8854280. Admission Tuesday, General Wednesday, Thursday: $2.50, Students/Seniors $1.50, and on Friday and Saturday, $3.00 and $2.00.

Response to the bull to the free chevron: It was a great pleasure to read the second issue of the free chevron: the statistics and information contained in the chevron feature show conclusively that the charges of the federation are false and malicious. A reading of the federation effort at journalism did not bring me any pleasure: rather the reverse. In the masthead Doug Thompson (I assume he wrote it) says that the paper will adhere to the CUP code of ethics concerning fair, and accurate reporting. In my view the bullseye failed to do this in its fist issue. In a story on page five titled: “CUP gets tangled in chevron affair too” the bullseye reporter, Thompson again, (although the article is not signed) misquotes and misrepresents statements that I made during a week long stay at UW. He claims that I said my job here was to make recommendations for possible solutions: I know I did not say this because at no time during the affair have I seen my job as that of making recommendations. I came to the Waterloo campus to find out what wasgoing on, provide support, and espouse CUP principles. In the third paragraph he states that CUP felt that the federation acted without presenting sufficient evidence: suggesting that the evidence exists. As-the last issue of the free chevron sho,wed there is no evidence supporting the federation’s charges. As for the paper having too many staff positions this too has been ’ twisted. In a confidential meeting, which I as a reporter did not report (tell me about ethics Thompson !), I made an off-the-cuff remark that part of a general problem with student organizations in this country had to do with overstaffing:’ I noted that other student governments and newspapers got by with fewer staff than here at UW. This statement was in no way,meant to condemn the chevron. Indeed there are not “many larger papers operating with fewer staff”; once again Thompson fails to be factual. In a scant few paragraphs Thompson managed to make an unfair and inaccurate report. In addition the article was based largely on statements made in a closed meeting of members of the executive and some society reps: a meeting which was clearly defined as confidential and not subject to news reporting. Mr. Thompson has several times in my hearing called himself a professional journalist - I don’t know whether to laugh or cry. I do know that if he plans to make a living as a journalist, based on the bullseye as an example, he’ll probably starve. I commend the staff of the free chevron in their efforts to stand up and protect the democratic rights of a free press.-1 know that their’s is’a battle that they can’t help but win. David Colbum CUP

With most governments in the world opting for military dictatorships and totalitarianism in ruling their nations, democracy as a workable form of getting things done is almost an aberration. As a consequence, it’s been reassuring to this right of centre student to hear the virtues of democracy being bandied about in the course of debate over the whole chevron debate. Nevertheless, as an unaffiliated student sitting on the outside looking in at a number of counCi1 meetings it’s interesting to note that the organization that considers itself acting for, the preservation of democracy, the Students Council, has exhibited omy vestiges of the spirit of democracy. On the other hand, the Chevron (now Free Chevron) despite endless allegations by Roberts, has yet to be faced withyconcrete evidence that it acts undemocratically and asked to defend itself on that basis. Let’s face facts: Roberts has shut down our student paper, fired (er, re:cinded people), and
ranted and raved about “elements” running the paper in an unfit manner. Yet, he has yet to step off his high horse and give one damn shred of. evidence to prove he isn’t just shouting his mouth off.- ’ This goes against a facet of democracy I rightfully take for granted. One, namely that of due process. In other words, you hold people responsible on the basis of facts and evidence not rumor, innuendo, or blind faith that you’re on the side of good. And, you hold investigation and then take action. For crying out loud, why vice versa? Do you convict someone andthen give him/her a fair trial? Also, besides due process not being followed, it can probably be proven that the Students Council broke its own bylaws in acting in the manner it did. The best action at this point in time should be to get back to square one. Reopen the paper as normal. Rehire the staff and investigate the Chevron’s actions for any possible wrong-doings and any possible bylaw changes, but make the investigation fair and make sure it takes a good hard look at the Student Councils actions. Failing to do this would mean there aren’t two sides to this argument, and only an idiot would believe that. If the Student Council believes in such a due process of democracy then they’ll take the things back to square one and get a good fair investigation underway. But, to keep acting the way they are smacks of McCarthy&m, clear and simple, and thats the last thing that outfit should be up to. Tom Cody _ 4th yr. Planning
RadWat The latest egg hatched by the federation, “ The Bulleseye” has given birth to much more than a new journal. Copying verbatim a Radio Waterloo report without giving due credit, giving credit to an unwilling recipient, more clever dodging of chevron defense armore false allegations against guments, chevron staff, prostituting journalism ethics for political support, and ridiculing another faculty for this support are all bitter realities to be found in this scandal sheet. As if this isn’t enough to demonstrate the rotten nature of the egg, and this is the clincher, the students paid for the,whole thing. Last week RW ran a report entitled ‘.‘Sexual Assault Occurs on Campus”. The majority of this article was copied verbatim in the bullseye without giving any credit to the authors of the article. However, it seems that the bullseye staff were a little overzealous in giving credit in another instance. Mike Ura was given credit for having participated in the publication of the bullseye. Today, however, Ura denied any association with this paper that he considered to be rubbish. In the first issue of the free chevron, the chevron defended itself against eighteen allegations made by Roberts and the Federation. In the bullseye only one of the eighteen allegations was rebutted by the Federation. This concerned Roberts’ claim that he closed theachevron for fear of it being looted when certain staff members heard that the paper had been closed. The chevron defended itself by saying that the only incidence of occupation was of the Dean’s office, and that it had received support from the Federation and that no damage had been done. In reply to this, Andrew Telegdi, former Federation president, said that the Federation had not supported the act. However, the whole point that there had been no damage done was completely ignored. Thus the only argument that the Bullseye tried to refute remains intact. There was no legitimate reason for Roberts’ suspicions that damage would be done to the chevron office. A single and meager attempt to justify the action was pathetic at best. The bullseye reported Roberts as saying about Hess “the fact that he has never been a student makes him a poor choice for a position of ultimate responsibility”. However, Hess was a student at WLU during which time he was production manager for their paper, “The Cord” for a year and a half. Another Federation-backed allegation bites the dust.
Perhaps the most obvious outrage of the bullseye is the manner in which it tries to enlist the support of the engineering students, to the side of the Federation in this issue. This was slyly done by depicting an engineering student burning what we are led to believe is a chevron. The bullseye also allowed the publishing of an article entitled ‘.‘Desiderata”. The article was typical of the mind in the gutter mentality so often presented in Enginews (a farcical attempt at journalism if one has ever existed). Desiderata advises, “Take kindly the counsel of others, even though they be artsies” and “give up. Transfer to arts”. This kind of arrogance is no surprise to anyone unfortunate to have read Enginews in the past, but what is really surprising is that the Federation would allow the ridiculing of a faculty after that faculty had pledged support to them. It’s obvious that Roberts and his band of unethical journalists were’willing to allow this in order to get the support of the engineers. It is hoped that the arts council will have something to say on the matter. We certainly hope so anyway. The most amazing thing about the whole deal is that the bullseye had no outside advertising which means that it was entirely paid for by students. The chevron issue which the Federation considers to be bogus, however, used 80% outside advertising. If UW students are genuinely concerned about the utility of their money for a UW newspaper, then perhaps the chevron is a much more reasonable choice. It is hoped that this gross travesty of student funds w,ill destroy the apathy that so badly haunts the campus. If students do not soon raise their voices, then perhaps Shane Roberts will continue to be “mildly amused” by the whole affair while he dances gaily to the fading memory of the Blue Danube. -David Assmann -Peter Goodwin -Phil Rogers

. . . Further In this ‘article I intend to reply to the Bullseye’s rebuttal to my letter and to explain (with facts), exactly why the Chevron, and certain staff members in particular are beingpersecuted. First of all, concerning the Bullseye, the rebuttal stated that the paper was not concerned with answering allegations from one side or another. This was true. All articles favoured only one side - the exec. Examples are “A former AIA member tells of her-experience” - “The AIA rewrites history again”, and in the article, “CUP gets tangled in the chevron affair too.” Roberts was asked for a comment, but this was not so for any chevron member. Are we really to believe that the Bullseye is not a mouth1 piece for Roberts and the executive? Concerning Desiderata, I have not come across one Arts student who thought it was humourous, but many who have strongly disliked it. I believe humour does have a place in journalism, but the sexist, racist, and arrogant attitudes so often expressed in ENGINEWS is a far cry from humour. I With regard to the advertising, it was said ‘that the exec felt that advertising would be an unnecessary insult to the Chevron. This is almost funny. Since when was the exec so sensitive about insulting the Chevron? I don’t think that the feds can surpass the in-sult that they have already perpetrated. The Bullseye also asked what was wrong with using fed advertising; since the chevron has always done this, and has never been criticized? However, fed advertising has never
, 13
been the sole source of finance in the Chevron. This was not the case with the Bullseye, which used entirely fed advertising. Once again, I will stress the fact that the students paid the whole bill for the Bullseye. Finally, the Bullseye stated that the majority of the comments directed at the Bullseve were favourable. I have found this not to be true. Again I claim that the Bullseye is indeed a mouth-piece for Roberts and the federation. and as-long as it continues to indiscriminately publish executive lies I will continue to use the Bullseye as ‘a medium through which to attack the executive and especiaiv Shane Roberts.

tram the Varsity Dear Mr. Roberts, During the current dispute between the University of Waterloo’s student council and the student newspaper, the chevron, The Varsity has kept abreast of developments and conducted first-hand research-the results of which were printed in our October 12 ~ issue. After publication of the feature, the Varsity staff at Wednesday’s meeting unanimously voted to send this letter condemning the McCarthyist tactics used by Waterloo students’ council president Shane Roberts and his supporters to close the chevron, the established forum for student opinion on the Waterloo campus. Roberts’ neglect in backing up his charges of Communist control of the chevron - except by pointing to what turned out-to be a small minority of chevron writers with sympathies for the, Anti-Imperialist Alliance (AIA) smacks of slander, demagoguery, and redbaiting. His allegations are easily disproved. A perusal of the chevron prior to the attempt at censorship would have revealed to any reader that it excelled in campus coverage and its content was not dominated by narrow-minded left wing escapism. The widely-publicized recruitment campaign for the chevron, the encouragement of new staff (attested to by non-AIA contributors), and the publication of an introductory manual all disprove Roberts’ charges of a lack of democracy on the paper. These initiatives are model efforts for other student papers to follow in gaining a wider base of representation among students. Decisions at the chevron were made democratically at weekly staff meetings which everyone except Shane Roberts seemed to know aTbout. The chevron, however, requires no defence at this point. Investigation should focus rather on student politician Shane Roberts who took it upon himself and -the Waterloo student council to censor the press with whose views he imagined himself at odds: His attempts to justify his action by promoting a red scare and publicly slandering student journalists before Waterloo students would qualify him for a position in any number of tyrannical governments around the world. We hereby add our voice to those demanding the immediate reinstatement of the purged chevron editors and the official publication of the’chevron with its previous staff and council funding. Eric McMillan, on behalf
Editor, of, and at the unanimous urging of, the Varsity staff.
One of the problems with the chevron in the past has been the use of reprints from magazines of long feature articles which are of little relevance to students. Last year the Science and Technology section was fortunate enough to have articles submitted to it by scientists and engineers doing research on campus, and response was in general quite good. It is hop,ed that we can solicit more articles from people on campus whose scientific and technical knowledge enables them to speak intelligently on scientific matters. The purpose of the chevron shou&i not be to replace the function of a A scientific journal, but to: 1) inform non-technical and technical persons alike of scientific developments and revelations; 2) provide a forum for debate on such issues as ethics of science., cutbacks in research spending, pure versus applied research, etc.

the closing and the Free Chevron with it’s mostly unsubstantiated attacks. We must however, keep in mind that the methods and aims of Roberts are at this time as suspect as the submerged intents of Neil Docherty and friends. In fact, if the first issue of Bullseye is any indication, then the Federation is more suspect than the Chevron ever ‘was. ‘Bullseye’ seems to be a bland and uniform piece of rubbishy -Federation propaganda, equalled only by the Administration’s Gazette. If we wish to have a student newspaper, then we must trust none of the rhetoric being thrown at us. Both-sides may have power interests, thus neither can be totally trusted. What with public opinion, however, we must be on guard of Roberts’ paternalistic nonsense about the press. If the Federation wants a passive press that is not critical or investigative, then it doesn’t want a free student press, (which implies the possibility that the Feds may be. criticised by the press). I’m not suggesting the recent -AIA and Chevron vendetta against Roberts is in any sense of the word ‘investigative’. Much of it is simple slander that is unsubstantiated. But the Chevron has to have the possibility of being abused by one group, otherwise it would never be free aTall. Democracy is not a given factor in government or in a newspaper, it must always be fought for. At present, the Chevron is fighting for the possibility of a free student newspaper, the Federation for whatever-its intent, is attempting to turn the only paper we have into a mouthpiece of the Federation, which will simply be an information and prpaganda outlet-certainly not a forum for student events, opinion and debate. In no way does this let the behavior of the AIA off the hook either. In the past they have been guilty of the same offence-guiding editorial opinion to their own perspective of viewing the world through neo-Marxist and Marxist frameworks. Students must get the issue straight as to what is at stake in the present debate (fight). A student newspaper must be open to the printing of any coherent pieces of reporting or articles. The ideological, religious, or political content of them should in no way keep them from being printed. This has not been the case in the past, and this can be remedied by taking away the present power of the staff to vo$e on what will be accepted into the paper. If a piece is not printed,-.the full-time staff should be required to explain exactly why it wasn’t printed. Every half year, or year, there should be an election to determine who the editor for the paper will be, and if the past editorial discretion is considered to be not representative of the students, then a new editor and full-time staff may be elected; This would avoid both the present problem of narrow interest groups taking power over the paper as well as the paper simply becoming a puppet of the Federation. In addition, a student who had a grievance over not having an article printed should be able to take some sort of action against the paper if the staff could produce

no tangible reason for rejecting the, report or article. If we on campus are to have a student newspaper, then we must have control over the editorial policy, and indeed over who it is that is running the paper. Our present problem stems from the fact’ we have had very little control over the paper. The double-talk ofShane Roberts about the interests of students is no more valid thanDocherty’s claim that he is responsible to the staff of the Chevron. Both he and Mr. Roberts are responsible to the students of this campus, and they had better start explaining their actions in the last few weeks. The Federation is not the students of this campus nor is the AIA, just as Pierre Trudeau and the Liberal party are not the people of Canada. They may all claim to represent our interests, but they may in fact not. They may represent their own vested interests, which may be inconflict with what students want. Therefore, I propose that there should be a referendum put before the students. A student board, independent of all the contending parties (including the administration) should be set up to investigate both the actions of the Chevron and the Federation regarding this dispute. They should have full rights to disclose any wrong-doings and to sanction them, as-well as to decide what the relation of the students and the Federation should be to the Chevron. There then should be a referendum placed before the students which would be based on the findings of this committee and which in general would attempt to find out the students’ confidence in the present Federation executive as well as in the present staff and arrangements in the Chevron. If there was found to be a lack of confidence, then there would be immediate elections of a new executive and a new Chevron staff. This election of Chevron staff would then take place every year. Whether or not this idea seems totally acceptable, I believe it would help.clear up the insane mess we are now faced with. I don’t believe that anything less than direct student control of any future paper will be adequate to have a truly free student paper. In fact, anything less will-allow for a continuation of our present troubles. Steve Schildroth 3rd year Sot. & Poli. Sci.

What do you hope to accomplish
We believe that the only way to achieve correct conclusions in any conflict among people is first to investigate the facts, hear evidence from both sides, and only then judge the case. In the case of the chevron, just the opposite was done. On September 24, 1976, the chevron was abruptly closed by the federation of students’ executive, in collusion with the UW administration. No prior notice was given to the staff or students that such an unprecedented and drastic action was contemplated. The student council then app0inte.d a task-force. It was given the mandate to draft bylaws for a “new” chevron within four days but not to investigate the old chevron or the facts behind the action taken by the federation executive. The task force has opposed this enforced mandate, urging council to give it investigatory-powers. Wednesday, the task force asked council to reinstate the chevron and to postpone the general meeting so that it can pursue an investigation. We, the chevron staff, steadfastly maintain that we have done nothing wrong. We have resisted arbitrary and undemocratic action by the federation executive and continue to defend ourselves. On the other hand, we do believe the federation executive is guilty of many moral and legal crimes. It is they who should be investigated. At the same time we agree that the students of UW have every right to criticize the cpevron and investigate its history and operation. But we maintain that this investigation should be carried out in the proper manner. \ Specifically, we propose: 1) That all resolutions dealing with the chevron passed by council since September 24, 1976, be rescinded, and that the operating budget and staff salaries and positions retroactive to September 24, 1976 be restored. This action should precede any serious investigation. 2) We want to be judged on our own efforts, not on past chevrons. Council, societies and students should specify in detail the things which they did not like about the first three issues of the chevron in September, 1976, when we launched the new chevron. 3) Chevrdn staff should then reply to all of these charges and discuss plans for changing the paper in instances where legitimate criticisms gxist. 4) If resolution of the’differences between chevron staff and the federation council cannot be achieved through a process of discussion, then it would be appropriate to consider changes in the newspaper itself. 5) It is obvious that a real problem exists, because the chevron hasbeen subjected to a barrage of attacks from the federation executive. We believe that council should investigate the entire affair from beginning to end-federation executive actions included-hearing both sides in a public forum. , To the students of UW we again extend the invitation to visit the chevron office and conduct a first-hand study into the newspaper. Our do,ors are open, pnd we have nothing to fear from investigation. That’s a qirect contrast! with the federation office just above us.

Hockey Warriors ‘line up Head coach Bob McKillop, of the University of Waterloo Hockey Warriors, has reduced his team to thirty players-as preparations continue for the 197677 season. Fourteen returnees greeted the Coach as workouts began. Some of these returnees are being given a real run for their positions by some of the newcomers.
Sailing Sailing at UW’s Columbia Lake will be ending early next week. The Grand River Conservation Authority will be draining the lake, drying up the possibility of further sailing this year. The last regatta of the year will be held this Saturday at 2:00 pm (Sunday if Saturday’s weather is bad). All members and friends are welcome. This year’s sailing club had a total membership of 204 for i976. This is the largest number of people in its five year history. On the intercollegiate scene this year, UW participated in two out of town regattas so far. One was in Toronto’s outer harbour, the other was in Kingston. With the weather getting colder, and homework building up, people are not so keen to participate. Thus a full team has not been organized yet for this weekend. Some of the intercollegiate racers have expressed the view. that the club needs a practice boat with jib and spinnaker. This would help them to prepare better for races. The Sailing Club will sponsor a pub in the next week or two. Announcements will be made in the newspapers and on the bulletin boards. Next spring the Oakville Yacht Club will have room for crew on many of its members’ big boats, which race each weekend in Lake Ontario. UW Sailing Club will act as a go-between to get potential crew members from UW to meet the Oakville Yacht Squadron members. You’ll hear m-ore details next spring. Sailing on Columbia Lake will begin again next spring in the first week in May. -christopher

Some of the newcomers who have caught the Coach’s eye in workouts to date have been: John Vermeer, a 6’3” defenceman from Dryden. Vermeer, with only high school experience behind him, is a very strong skater. Kevin Walker, a 6’2”) 185 lb. left winger who hails from Toronto via Cornell University. Walker is very fast and has an excellent shot. He can also play defence and could see action at both positions throughout the year. Mike Hubbert is a grad student in History who played previously at the University of Pennsylvania where he was Captain of the team. Hubbert should provide a steadying influence on the Warriors’ defence. Chris Chappell, a defenceman, who has played with the Waterloo Siskins in the OHA Junior B league for the last two years. Chappellis a very heady player who doesn’t back away from the rough going. In, addition to his fine defensive skills, Chappell is an offensive threat as well. Don Langlois, Kirkland Lake moves the puck some experience fill the gap left / by
a centre from skates well and very well. With he could help to the graduation of
the Warriors’X All Star centre, Mike Guimond. The Warriors still have five goaltenders with the team. Gone from the scene will be Jake Dupuis, the Warriors perennial All Star. Returnees Bruce Morgan and Bob Hnatyk have been very steady. Randy Kubik, who played with the Warriors two seasons ago is trying for .a spot once again. Newcomers Bob Clarke, from the Elmira Junior B team and Bob McKenzie from Windsor are the other net minders attempting to make the team. The Warriors start their exhibition schedule this coming Tuesday, October 19 when they will travel to the York Ice Palace to meet the York University Yeomen. Game time will be 815 p.m. On Wednesday, October 20, the Warriors will meet the Ryerson Rams, in Toronto. The game will *be played at the Rams home rink, the Moss Park Arena. Game time against the Rams will be 8:26 p.m. A correction in the Warriors’ home schedule will see them playing their first home game on Friday October 22 at 8:00 p.m. against the McMaster Marlins. The Warriors had been scheduled to play at home against Guelph on October 20. That game has been cancelled. All of the Warriors’ home ga-mes are played in the Waterloo Arena.
