CbevrW There is confusion about it and at :st the chevron task force lies in nbo, waiting for the dust to settle om today’s general meeting, but it terns more likely that it has dislived. To make sense of the situation it necessary to review the short, It turbulent life, of this federation ‘eature. Initially it was established Sept. ) by students council to make re)mmendations on how to set up a :w chevron following a motion to spend publication of the paper. It asn’t able to convene, however, nil Oct. 13 and was expected to ive its recommendations before juncil by four days later. The tight schedule was the result. ’ a decision by the federation ,exutive to hold -a general meeting i Oct. 29. Notice .of a general eeting and the items to go before have to be posted ten days in ivance. The task force rejected the dead-
line and went to council demanding a mandate to investigate the old chevron before making recom.mendations on how to establish a new one. The request was accepted by council, but that left the federation with a general meeting scheduled and no task force recommendations to present. The bylaw proposals being considered today mainly stem from the federation executive. Then, in subsequent meetings the task force decided to ask council to postpone the general meeting, pending further investigation and recommended strongly that the chevron be re-opened in the interim. \ But the motions never got council’s consideration. At the last meeting (Oct. 21) Glen Murphy, the engineering representative on the task force was unable to make these requests when a three and a half hour council meeting was
ended by seven council members leaving, and so destroying quorum. The requests could have been put to council at a meeting scheduled for last Tuesday, but the meeting was cancelled by federation president Shane Roberts. Roberts said he took the action because some council members complained of time constraints due to mid terms. With the general meeting going ahead, the task force seems confused about its purpose. Public hearings called for last Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday never got off the ground. Murphy told the free chevron Wednesday “We’ve sort of let things go. . .“,\ but he thinks’ the task force will regroup after the general meeting. “It’s only fair to the students and ourselves,” he said. Task force chairman Joe MacDonald, however, told the free chevron: “as far as I’m concerned
it’s disbanded.” The secretary, Dan Chase, said Wednesday: “I don’t think there is going to be another meeting.” Chase said the main problem was the time limits imposed on them. “People just got frustrated.” The task force motion reflects this view. It reads in part: “We feel that it is premature and not in the best interests of the students to bring proposals to a general meeting without first having examined fully the nature of such proposals .” MacDonald complained of pressures from both the federation and the chevron.

The paper at first refused to have representation on the task force because the mandate didn’t include an investigation of the old chevron before making recommendations on how to set-up a new one. The chevron position now is that there should be a -reinstatement of the paper as it was when it was closed Sept. 24, then to have an investigation. Even if the task force has dissolved, its official position that the chevron should be reinstated and an investigation conducted remains on record, Chase said. -neil

The expected tuition fee hike for Ontario post-secondary students will not be announced for “two or three weeks, or perhaps a month,” according to Carol Vaughan, administrative assistant to minister of colleges and universities Harry Parrott. This means no announcement will be made until after the November 9 National Students’ Day, and the Ontario Federation of Students (OFS) believes the timing is no accident. At that time Parrott will be an-
nouncing the entire ministry budget including any change in formula fees. Questioned on Tuesday, he refused to comment “at this time”. The OFS has forecast an increase of about $100 per year for university students. But a Tuesday column in the Toronto Sun by Clare Hoy , formerly with the ministry of education, predicted that the hike will be $175. And according to an OFS spokesperson, Hoy “can’t afford to be wrong.” -henry

Although chevron photographer John Jackson was refused entry to the Theatre of the Arts to photograph the London (England) Gabrielli Brass at last Wednesday’s free noon-hour concert, one of yr intrepid listeners turned reviewer and filed the following report: A photo may tell a story of a thodsand words: “five brass players clustered comfortably with their glittering instruments on a large Persian carpet under lights in the middle of a theatre-in-the-round full of lunchtime kids, oldsters and others” does not give a picture of the marvellous sound of Music. When d arrived at 1:30 hoping-for a final chord they tiere still going strong-musicians and audience. The feeling of the,thrill of the living three dimensional sound of vibrating air-through-brass awoke in me again through their melodies and chords. The performers spoke to us with clear feeling tones of the heart, and mind; they explained also, with warmth and humour, the context of social relations in which altered sounds produced with various mutes, and their different characteristic mdsical styles, were made. At one point I noticed that several of the more than fifty children there seemed to be asleep. Ten’ minutes later, about half of them were gleefully waving their hands in time to the music. A technically unexceptional performance in the last half hour that became for me, and I believe others, an inspiring and highspirited musical encounter. \ - ernst von bezold I /

Small ‘department clubs in Arts Society don’t have their own budgets this year, instead they have to apply to society council for fupds. However a motion to incorporate this procedure into the constitution of the society failed at Wednesday’s council meeting. Social director Doug Kernohan moved fhat no department clubs with less than 20 full majors or 40 joint majors in their me?nbership receive a budget for the year. Instead, they would have to come to the council to get money for individual events. The motion was opposed by Cam Smith who argued that it greatly increased the centralization of Arts Council and reduced the autonomy of the clubs. $-Ie estimated that it would mean the clubs would have to approach the council one month in advance of any planned events to ask for funding, and he felt that was asking too much of them. Rick de Groat replied saying the small clubs were receiving too much money per member. He cited the four member Russian Club which receives $111 while larger clubs, like psychology don’t receive anything close to $25 per member. The motion, which had already been passecl at a previous cbuncil meeting, received a simple majority, but because it is a main motion it must first be passed by a simple majority, and then at a second meeting with a two-thirds vote. In other business the Art Society 1976-77 $12,450 budget was ratified. Also $300 was allocated.foi two repre,sentatives to attend a talefit buyers weekend in Toronto. Social directer Doug Kernohan said it was an opportunity to obtain bands for Art Society events. -jules grajower
r>atrols Daunt, together with researcherlplanner Diana Clark are looking into several ideas that may help to improve the situation. A flyer was posted around campus last Friday seeking volunteers “to establish a student patrol to safeguard our campus walkways”. Volunteers would patrol parts of the campus in pairs, and be identified by armbands and/or vests, according to the flyer. This possibility, Clark pointed out, is tentative at the moment. Another idea being considered is to establish “convoys” of students to leave certain buildings at certain times, trusting that there is security in numbers. Theneed for these measures and the feasibility of implementing them are being investigated. Anyone interested in helping in any way should contact Marquis, Daunt or Clark in the federation offices, room 235, campus centre. -

Grads vote Hannant History graduate student Larry Hannant won the by-election for the grad seat Wednesday in a landslide victory over psychology student Ian Chaprin. It was one df the largest turnouts ever in a grad election, with 102 votes going to Hannant, 43 to Chaprin and two abstentions. In February’s grqd election won/’ by John Lee, 39 pebple voted, and in a later by-election only 23 people voted. In an interview, Hannant said “I cornpained against the inaction of Roberts’ administrdtion, especially in the area of cutbacks. The turnout and the vote is a clear indication of widespread dissatisfaction with that inaction and with the federation’s anti-democratic handling of the chevron. ” Chief /i;eturning officer John Long said there were some irregularities in the election but that no official complaint had been rec@ved and that the results would probably stand as they were. f . -peter blunden
Low turnout \ Approximately 5 per cent of the 11,000 students eligible to vote exercised their right in the OPIRG elections held W-e*dnesday, October 27. Only 530 turned out to elect Engineering’s RogerMorrison with 162 votes, and ESS’s Peggy Nickels and Ian Anderson with 153 and 130 votes respectively on to OPIRG’s Board of Directors. The fourth candidate, Ralph Torrie, was unsuccessful with only g5 votes. Of the six positions on the board, two are presently occupied by Alison Sterling and Anna Lenk. Daye Carter resigned last Friday but it was too late to include his post in this election so a subsequent byelection will be held. The three new members will hold office for a term of two years.

Zov’t II deports ‘mom, Leo &opts
shoplifting children’s clothing. She was caught and deported in February of 1976, taking the two youngest children back to Guyana with her. The other three stayed with relatives in Canada. After two months, one of the relatives was unable to continue rais-’ ing the girl and placed her with Children’s Aid. 1 In an attempt to reunite the family, the mother returned to Canada with two children in June. This is illegal, and the RCMP caught her within four days. She and the five children were placed in the Strathcona Hotel in Toronto. They were locked in those two rooms for a month. The immigration department would not even let the relatives take the children out for walks in the park. The Toronto Star discovered this situation and notified the Official Guardian of ‘Ontario and the Children’s Aid Society. These two organizations intervened to get the children and their mother out of the hotel. Meanwhile, the immigration officials were inexorably moving to deport the mother and the children. The children, even though landed immigrants in their own right, were dependents so could be deported with then parent. The last immigra- , tion appeal was to.occur at the end of September. + At this point Carol and Leo ‘he story begins four years ago Johnson, having read about the en a married couple and their case in the Toronto Star, decided to : children emigrated to Canada. try and do something for the chilout a’year after their arrival, the dren.

Student candidate -wnned The federation will not run a student candidate in the Waterloo municipal elections on December 6. This decisionwas reached at a Board of External Relations meeting held last week. Instead, money and effort will be devoted ‘to educating students about their right to vote. The feds will also give support to candidates who will best serve the interests of students and the community. The federation executive had previously favoured financing a student as candidate. It had been planned that National Student Day would be used to launch a student into the elections, a proposal being advanced by executive member Doug Thompson. Thompson explained the idea at ‘the External Relations meeting: the choosing of a student candidate would’be done at an extraordinary general meeting called for that’purpose. The meeting would also serve to generate student enthusiasm for the elections. Thompson argued that student candidates had failed to get seats before because there had been poor the candidates had canvassing, come off poorly in debates and students had not known of their right to vote. Students have the potential to carry a lot of weight in Waterloo elections. Any person who was a resident of the city as of September 30 of this year can vote so almost all students have the right to vote. The residency requirements are fairly easy because the municipality receives grants from the province on the basis of the number of people on the voting list - the grant is $50 a head. About a quarter of the population of Waterloo are
Whoowns Canada? OTTAWA (CUP) - Investment in Canada by foreign corporations increased 10 per-cent in 1974, according to figures released by Statistics Canada. The figure represents a $3.4 billion increase in foreign direct investment - which includes the stock of capital for use in Canada by foreign controlIed enterprises for a total of $36.2 billion at the end of 1974. Almost 80 per cent of foreign investment was owned by the United States during this period, according to Stats Canada. Stats Canada notes that the majority of this increase came from retained earnings - those profits which did not leave the country due to a before-taxes profit increase of 25 per cent for corporations in Canada.
students according to federation, fieldworker, Rod Hay. Thompson’s proposal was opposed by a number of people at the meeting, but mainly by TomRaidy , an ex-student of UW who announced his candidacy in the elections. Raidy contended that being a student in this town was to earn a -“kiss of death” in the eyes of the other people. He and others felt that a student candidate would not get votes except from students who usually do not ‘participate in elections. The rest of the community would polarize against the student candidate. Raidy also felt that a person who is elected to a government shouldn’t represent a single group of people. It was suggested that the federation could play a better role in the upcoming elections by supporting candidates who could speak for students. Those candidates who are sympathetic to student needs but who were also active in the community may have a better chance of gaining a seat on city council. Support may also be given to favourable candidates in Kitchener . With this decided, the discussion centred on the education campaign to be mounted. The focus of it would be to “tell students why they have to vote.” Students would be informed of their rights and instruc-
tions on how to get enumerated. Issues such as day care cutbacks and transit cutbacks that are dealt with by city council and of direct concern to students would be publicized. To ascertain where candidates stand on issues that affect students, questions would be sent to all of them and their responses would be published in the local media. Those with favourable responses would receive federation endorsement. People at the meeting suggested that forums could be held on campus where the issues could be debated by all candidates as has been done in previous elections. Some” people felt that it was necessary to demonstrate that student concerns are also the concerns of other sectors of the community. Issues such as day care and transit are also of prime concern to other low paid people in K-W, and criticisms should be made of many of the incumbent alderpeople who can afford cars and baby sitters. It was pointed out that most of them are connected in some way with the real estate business. National Student Day was suggested as a good vehicle for raising these issues. Cutbacks in the local area are just one version of the cutbacks that students and other underprivileged people are facing across Canada. stu vickers -

Puzzling ho/e Avunearthedhere Investigative journalism took a giant leap forward when this intrepid reporter set out to uncover the dirt behind the mud slinging in front of the campus centre. The incident I refer to is the digging of a large hole on the shore of the Health Services pond. The purpose of-the excavation was unearthed when I interviewed one of the workmen. Standing on the lip of the yawning crater, I launched a barrage of questions designed to trick the hardened workman into revealing the dark purpose of this pit. “What’s the hole for?”
‘So they could drill under the road.” ’ “Oh?” “They’re putting up lights on this side.” “Oh, I see.” End of the interview. It appears that there has been a decision to erect lamp posts along the side of the Ring-road opposite the campus centre. The installation of these lights is an attempt to avoid any accidents due to poor lighting. It is not known how long the excavation will be around but there are rumours it will disappear as mysteriously as it appeared. -

Faculty salaries \ lose tb in.flatio,n r Ontario government grants to the University of Waterloo have not increased as rapidly over the last few years as the costs of living when figured on a per-student basis, and this has several detrimental effects on students, staff ‘and faculty. Because the largest single item in the UW budget is faculty salaries, it is not surprising that professors are receiving relatively less pay for their services today than they were five years ago. However, a preliminary analysis of the facts shows that young professors are being strongly affected by these cutbacks, whereas senior faculty are faring relatively better. At the same time, well-paid faculty normally receive the same percentage increase in their base pay as do junior faculty when scale increases as opposed to merit raises are passed out, which increases the gap in standardseven relative living more. For newly-hired assistant professors, the salary situation is not very rosy, considering the many years which they spent obtaining an education. When the floor or minimum salary for a new PhD with no experience is corrected for the effects of increases ,,in the Consumer Price Index, it shows a decline from 1960 to 1975 (see graph). , Since 1971-72, when the education cutbacks began in earnest, this floor salary figure has actually de-

The gap is far greater if individual professors are examined as they are promoted through the ranks. Accurate statistics are not publicly available on this topic, but it is possible to get a rough estimate of the real economic situation of the old-timers who have been at UW since the 1960’s. By scrutinizing the 1964-65 UW calendar for faculty who are also listed in the 1976-77 calendar, the crude rate of promotion through the ranks has been determined, as\ portrayed in the accompanying table. Combining these data with the average salary.for each rank at UW in those years, as given in Statistics Canada reports, we find that the 95 professors must have averaged roughly $8450 in 1964-65 and over’ $3 1,000 in 1976-77. Correcting these salaries for inflation in the intervening 13 years, we conclude that the real income of the 95 professors increased by over 93 per cent since 1964-65. Whether individual professors continue to increase in real salary today is difficult to assess short of interviewing them directly. . One thing is clear, however. Because the overall increase in base pay or salary scale has consistently been less than the rate of inflation for several years, the only way for an individual to keep ahead of inflation today is to work hard and get a 1 for

even increased. A 10 per cent scale increase gives a full professor a raise of about $3500 annually, compared to an increase of about $1600 for a new teacher. Because highly-paid senior _faculty need to spend relatively less of their salary on basic necessities such as food, shelter and clothing, this in turn means that their relative standard of living may actually increase while that of junior faculty is decreasing. The fixed percentage is also applied in the case of senior faculty to a salary swollen by past merit raises which were relatively easier to obtain than they are now.

Enslaved and humiliated, sisters Claire and Solange Mercier seek refuge in the ritual assassination of their oppressor. Jean Genet’s The Maids, now playing at the Theatre of the Arts,. takes ,the form of an erotic nightmare. and reveals a world which has nohope of repentance but which must avail itself to the presence of evil and masochistic delight. Organ music, accompanying the play’s opening, at once creates the solemn atmosphere of a church mass. We are in the boudoir of an apartment in Paris. Two maidservants, Claire and Solange, are engaged in a game of master-servant. Claire plays the Madame. Solange assumes the role of Madame’s lackey. Solange acts out her dreams of revenge upon the tyrant mistress. Claire acknowledges the grievance and baits her on. Neither of them would dare to expose themselves before the Madame. They are merely filles de chambre, a class below the affluent Parisienne; and when Madame appears, we see how strong that distinction is. She flits and flirts, plays off the others to feed her own vanity. Madame is beautiful. Madame is the embodiment of grace and charity. Her innate sense of justice always makes allowance for inferior specimens, such as two melancholy maids. Claire and Solange cannot cope, cannot accept the fate they have so mercilessly been dealt. They love Madame’s power. They hate Madame’s position of authority; so they plot to murder her and disgrace her lover. One special attraction of this production is idirector Maurice ,
Evans’ decision to have young men play the parts of the maids. It is not hidden. Clearly, men are impersonating women who are impersonating other women. This has a two-fold effect. In one respect, it adds a dimension of homosexual eroticism. Much has been made of Genet’s preference for young males in the lead roles. He actually stated it only once; and then it was merely a passing remark in a letter to the man who first directed the play, Louis Jouvet. Genet’s affinity towards homosexuality is wellknown. But this alone‘does not account for the innovation. We are not watcRing two women per se, we are watching two actors pretending to be what they are not; just as Claire and Solange are pretending to be assassins. Jean-Paul Sartre, in his study on Genet, once commented that as distance increases between actuality and impersonation, the symbolic nature of design is heigh- ’ tened. We are watching symbols of enslavement and femininity oppressed. The spectator can detach him/herself from the immediate situation and view the action as ritual, meaningful and representative of human nature. If The Maids is a religious ritual, it is closer to a black mass than a communion of Christian souls. Actors Bob Stetz, as Claire, and Paul Stanton, as Solange, have accurately developed the tortured relationship of the sisters. Stetz grasps Claire’s longing to be free, her injured sense of worth, and sexuality. , Stanton, though overly tense and brittle at times, does, arrive at a interpretation of coherent Solange’s dilemma. His fine soliloeffectively WY9 in particular, wrenches our sensibilities; a severe indictment 0 upon a diseased humankind. Not to be misinterpreted, Karen Woolridge, as the Madame, is nauseating. She has captured the Madame that Genet envisioned; cruelty lightly veiled with an icy smile.

During their masquerade Claire and Solange exorcise repressed sides of their characters. They are self-flagellants in that they continue to beat themselves with the very weapons unavailable to them in real life. It is an exorcism; or, to be more accurate, it is a method of masturbation. Genet has never forgiven society for treating him as an outcast; whether by the inhuman French penal system (he was imprisoned for long stretches), or .by the upper-crust which looked upon him as a fashionable rogue. His maids reflect an inner desire to upturn the old order and triumph over the hollow society which beats them \ down. They never do. The oppressors are too strong and have successfully forced them into a world of make-believe; castrated and incapable of serious action (another reason for using men iv drag). i’he Madame is much too subtle for the maids to fully comprehend. Her arrogance is what they feed upon. They learn of grace and beauty through her example since ‘they have none of their own. Vanity substitutes for dignity. When compassion ought to be the unifying force, crime takes over. There is no substance to the relationship between the sisters except for that “love” which they have observed in the Madame. They are locked into Madame’s illusion, are impotent because they have no “position” of their own, except that of slave, and are on a course of selfdestruction. ’ But they are not real characters and this is not a real situation. We are in a theatre, watching a play. Everything is a lie. Genet tells us so. What he doesn’t tell us, most eloquently, is that he means it. -myles

“Partners” is another vanant attempt by the Canadian film industry to break into the world of commercial acceptance. Although the film is interesting and relatively original, it suffers from too many rough edges and a lack of coherence. ’ The movie begins with a shot of Heather Gray (Hollis McLaren) cutting the corner off a maple leaf and placing it under a microscope. What we see through the lens, though, is the street outside. A hood (played by Paul Howard) is seen breaking into the house, finding a room where some official documents are kept, and running them through a copying machine. Heather hears a noise and investigates. The hood - Michael J. Margotta - grabs her from behind and carries her to the bedroom. Heather recognizes him in the mirror and says, “I know you!” Now Heather’s father comes home, the president of Canada Pulp and Paper. Margotta convinces Heather not to make a sound, but eventually gets introduced to Dad as “an entrepreneur - a freelancer’ ’ . Heather becomes romantically entangled with Margotta, and, as she gains confidence in herself, we see Margotta drawn into a plot for American take-over of Canada Pulp and Paper. The film has several nice, subtle touches, such as the bus we see in one of Margotta’ s smuggling expeditions in the States, which carries a sign reading “How to enjoy your national heritage’ ’ . On the whole, though, the metaphor of Heather as Canada who generally gains independence
from her English father, and Margotta as America who learns how to stop exploiting Canada, and the relationship between ‘the two, are so obvious and contrived that they spoil the effect of the movie. The dialogue runs from brilliant (“Would you like to go to bed?” “I’m not sleepy.“) to painful (“Why are you here?” “To find out why I’m here.“) The music complements the filmwork fairly well (Murray McLauchlin does some of the music and plays a cameo role as well). The quality of the photography is sufficient, although many opportunities were missed: at one point Margotta gets into an apartment by crawling around the outside of the twenty flights up. building Somehow the danger involved is,n’t brought as closely home as it might have been by more /effective photography. Several minutes after this, the maid opens the door of the apartment and finds Margotta there. The suspense of the moment in which she opens the door is all but-lost to us. If there were only isolated instances of bad judgement, they might be ignored, but all through the film there are countless sequences which could have been imThe occasional proved upon. bursts of insight and inspiration could not possibly compensate for this when they are lost in so much mediocrity. Don Owen, the director, explains that there was a limited budget to work with, and he couldn’t afford to waste time waiting for good weather, hence the rainy scenes.
-’ CANADlAN v1 OF AN EXCITING
That doesn’t hurt the film at all, but shows up in the obvious lack of footage the film editor had to work with. Despite all the problems this movie has, it is still worth seeing. You’d probably enjoy it more if you told yourself that “For a Canadian movie, it’s pretty good.” That rationalization irks me no end, though, for a -(movie should be judged ultimately on cinematic grounds only - not on whether it came from the United States, Frante , Italy, Germany, Japan, Canada, or anywhere else. -0

When asked why the Censor objected to the scene, Don Owen retell us. We don’t plied, “You know.” Hesaid the censorship depends entirely on the personal feelings of the Censor. We would have to get into his bedroom to find out what the problem is. The film was shown uncut at the press screening I attended, so I can guarantee that there was nothing raunchier in it than most films today show. Of course, I can’t be sure that I saw the whole thing the film mysteriously broke just as the scene started. Somewhere a voice asked, “Is this a raid?“, but the movie resumed a few minutes later.

Environmental Studies \
I executive
\
\
.
We think it is time that the students of the Faculty of Environmental Studies found out , what has been happening in the basement of their building. We are referring to the actions of the E.S.S. executive. For the past two months, that little office running off of the coffee shop has been the site of some very heated exchanges. In most cases, this sort of action would be expected from any group involved in basic decisionmaking processes. However, in the case of the E.S.S. executives, all the fury has been a, result of personality conflicts and power struggles. This has resulted in the neglect of\ their duties as well as interference with the workings, of others. This point is especially interesting in light-of the fact that three of the executive members have recently applied for a half course credit, which, in their eyes, would reflect “all of-the work” they have contributed to the society. To them we say “GOOD LUCK?‘. This constant state of unrest and uncertainty within the society has forced us to resign our positions, as coffee shop managers. Similarly, it wras the ‘reason for the resignation last week of E. S.S. president Andrew Tucker. We realize that it is easy to criticize without offering viable alternatives. It would appear to us, however, that if these problems cannot be set aside, possibly the students of the Faculty of Environmental Studies would be better off without an executive at all. The present body is accomplishing nothing. Tom (Past

Statistical gignificance In the Oct. 18 issue of Sci-SW: News, Mr. John Lee, the graduate representative on the student’s council, made a futile effort to use his sparse knowledge of statistics to discredit an analysis of the content of the old chevron (see free chevron, Oct. 15, p. 9). Mr. Lee has in fact demonstrated his abysmal ignorance of statisticsand his inability to think logically.. Amidst the 54 grammatical errors and 9. typos in his “editorial comment”, I found several incredible assertions about statisI tics. He claims that the measure employed in the free chevron analysis 9number of articles per issue, is ‘ fmeaningless unless one knows the number of words and the physical space.. ., ” etc. This is nonsense. If you know a person’s height, is this measure meaningless unless you also know the person’s weight and shoe size? Obviously not. If you want to predict whether a man will crack his head when walking under a footbridge, you must -know his height. If you instead want to predict whether the bridge will collapse when he walks over it, you must know his weight. The measure .-

,must fit the/application. Number of articles in the chevron is a fair measure of input by the AIA to the paper. Column-inches per article are difficult to interpret unless you know the facts about which the article is written. In the case of Mr. Lee’s editorial, there are, no new facts given at all, so all of his column-inches amount to nothing. Next, he says “there was no attempt to show statistical validity.” This is true, and it is to the credit of the author of the free chevron article that he made no such attempt. The author assessed every one of 900 articles in designated months, and hence his conclusions for those months are not subject to sampling errors. If the entire population is studied, it is not appropriate to do a test of statistical significance. It is -also interesting to note Mr. Lee’s response when I asked what test he had in mind. He speculated that maybe the “standard error of the mean test” should be used. But there is no such test. Standard error of the mean is a statistic, not a test of statistical significance. It is commonly used in the, t test. Turning to his assertion that the number of AIA-related articles was “steadily increasing throughout the time period,” here a test of statistical significance is necessary because he makes an assertion about a linear trend from inconsistent data. Unfortunately for Mr., L&e, the slope of the straight line of best fit does not differ significantly from zero.’ ’ Mr. Lee has attempted to refute unassailable facts with indefensible assertions, thereby exposing his own reactionary thinking. In his campaign for the grad seat on council in Feb. 1976, he called for more emphasis on quality in education and less on quantity of students. Judging from his recent performance, he should demonstrate his commitment to these ideals by packing his bags and clearing out. Fascist thinking has no place in the realm of science. doug wahlsten psychology dept.
Facts and ,figures Another scandal sheet appeared on campus last week under the guise of Sci-sot news. Edited by none other than grad rep John Lee, this rag contained no less than nine distortions, five libelous remarks, and several outright lies. Let me deal with some of the more glaring ones here.. LEE: Without doubt there is outright hostility directed towards the free chevron. FACT: Of course there is outright. hostility directed towards the free chevron. But most of this hostility comes from people who have the most to lose by the free c,hevron’s continuing to publish, ie., Roberts and his executive. \ LEE: . . .a group of self appointed elitists with a vendetta attempted to provoke an elected official . . .into a mud slinging duel. FACT: When the free chevron accuses Roberts of plagiarism, they provide the evidence. When they accuse Roberts of living off student money for years, they provide the evidence., When they accuse Roberts of trying to stack staff, they provide the evidence. When they answer to the ever changing charges and allegations of Roberts and his executive, they provide evidence. Compare this with Bullseye and Sci-sot news who use outright lies and slanders against people on .staff, and who have yet to produce one scrap of evidence. Lee then goes on to “analyse” my statistical study of last year’s chevron (see page 9, Oct. 15, 1976). LEE: Issue 2 of the free chevron showed conclusively that anyone could use statistics , to prove any point valid, even if it isn’t. FACT: Lee makes this generalized statement but never provides any evidence to the contrary. LEE: The number of articles is meaning-

Pinbiplesof fhe$ Below are reprinted two selections from the CUP Editor’s Manual. The first is the “Statement of Principles of the Student Press in Canada” and the second is the “Code of Ethics for the Canadian University Press”. The current by/a.w governing the chevron requires that: “The Chevron and the Board of ublications shall adhere to the principles and procedures described in the constitution, charter, dy-laws and code of ethics of the Canadian University Press.” Bylaw 28 (option 7) which was designed is being put forward by Shane Robe@ at today’s General I)/leeting, however, only specifies: “‘The Chevron and the Board of Publications shall adhere to the principles described in the code of ethics of the Canadian University Press.” So that a/though Roberts’ proposed bylaw pays lip service to the ‘“principles”, they are not those contained in the “Statement of Principles”. This means that principles such as: - “the Canadian student press should be free from or not the press is a part of such an pressure by student governments . . .whether organization . . .“; - “whenever there are serious charges of irresponsibility on the part of an editor, the extent of their validity must be determined by due process before any action is taken .‘. .;” - “the student newspaper should be free from outside financial control and that once its budget --isgranted, no holdup, decrease or discontinuing of funds should be made by financial adminisunless the paper desires such change.” I trators - “in no case should a representative or representatives of the student government or administration have the explicit or implied power of censorship or the power to set editorial or advertising policies;” - “appointment of the editorial board and staff of the student newspaper should be internal, not subject to the discretion of exte,rnal bodies;” will be ignored. Many of the above principles, intended to ensure and protect a free press, have a/ready been trampled underfoot by Roberts and other members of the federation executive and council. By his proposal for a new bylaw which deletes them, Roberts evidently hopes that they will not come back to haunt him. It is unlikely, though, that any newspaper published by a Board of Publications which ignored these basic principles could ever gain admission to the Canadian University Press association of almost 70 college and university-papers.’ It could only be published as a .renegade paper or a federation newsletter, perhaps to be known as “fedNEWS”.
’ Statement of Principles WHEREAS the Canadian student press believes in the following principles: That the major role of the student press is to act as an agent of social change, striving to emphasize the rights and responsibilities of the student citizen; That the student press must, in fulfilling this role, perform both an educative and active function; and support groups serving as agents of social change; That the student press must present local, national and international news fairly, and interpret ideas and events to the best of its ability ; That the student press must use its free.dom from commercial and other controls to ensure that all it does is consistent with its major role, and to examine the issues which other media avoid; AND WHEREAS the freedom of the student press has been abridged in the following ways: Threatened or actual expulsion or suspen- sion and/or confiscation of issuesof the student newspaper by student government, * administrators, or faculty attempting to suppress matters which they consider uncomplimentary to, or critical of, the institution; Financial pressures used (to limit or retaliate against newspaper policy; Censoring of articles by faculty, civil, or administrative authorities or student gov”ernments, making the new spaper incapable of fulfilling its role; Excessive pressures, both formal and informal, used to prevent publication of partitular articles and opinions; THEREFORE the Canadian student press affirms its belief that it must be free from the abuses listed above and declares the follow-. ing fundamental rights and responsibilities necessary for the effective implementation of the principles outlined above. That the Canadian student press should be free from pressure by student governments, university authorities, or any other external agencies, whether or not the press is a par.t of such an organization, except for the extraordinary power of removing the editor, which should reside only in the authority which appointed him or her; 1’ That whenever there are serious charges of irresponsibility on the part of an editor, the extent of their validity must be determined by due process before any action is taken, and that except for the power of removal of the editor, all subsequent action should come within the internal structure of the newspaper; That the student newspaper should be free from outside financial control and that once its budget is granted, no holdup, decrease, or discontinuing of funds should be made by’ financial administrators unless the paper de-
sires such change; That within the restriction of the hws of libel and within the scope of the principles outlined above, the Canadian student press should be autonomous, and that it is, therefore, necessary that the Canadian student press abuse neither its freedom nor the principles outlined above; That it is essential to a free student press that it be responsible for the views it expresses and that each student newspaper should carry a disclaimer on the editorial page declaring that the opinions expressed are not necessarily those of the administration or student government; That in no case should a representative or representatives of the student government or administration have the explicit or implied power of censorship or the power to set editorial or advertising policies; That appointment of. the editorial board and staff of the student newspaper should be internal, not subject to the discretion of external bodies; That the editor of the student newspaper should be selected by the staff of the newspaper; That overall policy decisions should be made through collective discussion by the staff, whenever possible; That the Canadian student press must be always aware of its role in society and in the academic community and must be free to develop so that it can continue to fulfil its role.
Code of Ethics That student journalists should strive continually to be fair and accurate in their reports, and should strive to equip themselves adequately with facts to support published statements. They should realize fully their personal responsibility for everything submitted for publication.’ They should not falsify information or documents, nor distort or misrepresent the facts. Student journalists should respect all confidences regarding sources of information and private documents unless this interferes with the freedom of the press or the need to inform the public on vital matters. Student journalists should be familiar with the laws of libel and contempt of court which exist in this country and should observe the international copyright agreement, unless this interferes with the freedom of the press or the need to inform the public on vital matters. The editor should rectify in print, at the first available opportunity, all culpable mistakes. . The editor should fully realize his or her personal responsibility for everything published. Racial and sexual bias or prejudice should have no place in the editorial policy of the new spaper. ”

Reiistdte the chevron A then investigate s The UW Federationcouncil has called students to a general meeting today to deal wit\h the chevron. The chevron staff has talked with many students during the past weeks and learned that students are still very confused and uncertain about the purpose of the meeting and what position to take on the controversy. The Federation has offered no information and has avoided discussion on the whole issue, and the widespread confusion reflects this. For that reason, the chevron staff does not believe a general meeting is appropriate at this time. But the executive has scheduled the meeting and they intend to use it to push through a bylaw. This has been the method used by the Federation executive throughout this conflict. That is, don’t investigate, don’t inform, just act, and swiftly, before students can make their own decisions based on the facts. The chevron staff has consistently condemned this method, and still insists that investigation precede action. Look at the ,background to this general meeting. First the executive abruptly closed the chevron doors on the basis of rumours and speculation. Six days after locking the chevron’s doors, the executive used the council to suspend the chevron, eliminate the positions of two paid staff members and set up a task force to create a new chevron. The task force was given four days to decide on a purpose and procedure, sift through the existing chevron bylaws, consider possible changes to the bylaws, then write new.bylaws to be submitted to a council meeting October 17. Naturally, this proved to be animpossible task, and the task force was torn apart by the pressure to meet the deadline dictated to it. As a result the task force has asked the council to postpone the general meeting, to reinstate the chevron and to carry out a thorough investigation. The Federation executive has, rejected this advice. Instead, two executive members have proposed bylaws for the approval of the general meeting. Both of them are hastily-constructed attempts to clamp a muzzle on the chevron. The bylaws pay passing homage to the CUP code of ethics, principles and charter. But these provisions are hypocritical. Clamping an editorial board on the chevron, under the guise of a board of publications, is a flagrant contravenI tion of the CUP charter. But the objection to both these bylaws is the same one that has stood against the Federation’s action throughout this fight. No investigation has been done, and no evidence presented to substantiate accusations that students are dissatisfied or how these proposed bylaws could deal with students’ grievances. . / Neither do‘we agree with the motion to adjourn the meeting. An adjournment is notthe clear decision which students, and the chevron staff, want, and it does not allow the necessary full discussion. The proposal for a chevron review board is also unacceptable. It is intended to deal with an imagined problem, when a concrete problem now exists. The question is how to deal with this real conflict. The chevron staff is calling on students to endorse general meeting agenda item number seven, supporting the chevron. We believe it is a straightforward, democratic method to deal with the whole affair. The motion calls for the rescinding of the Federation council’s motions of September 30 which suspended publication of the chevron for four weeks, el,iminated the positions of news editor and production manager, and created a task force to propose bylaw changes for a new chevron. The second .part of the motion calls for the establishment of a public investigation into the chevron by an impartial, balanced body. The council and student societies should specify in detail their criticisms of the first three chevron issues of September. The motion also states that the proposed investigation should be used/as a basis for the re-writing of any bylaws, where necessary. Shane Roberts and the Federation executive plan to use this general meeting to ram through restrictive bylaws on the chevron. The chevron staff once again speaks out in opposition, not just for ourselves, but for all students. It serves the interest of all UW students to have a strong, representative, democratically-run chevron. It serves the interest of all UW students to demand that democratic methods decide all student affairs. The chevron staff calls on students to vote at the general meeting to reinstate the chevron and to investigate the whole matter from beginning to end in a public forum. THE CHEVRON STAFF

_Soccer team clinches ,first place‘%.
’
Warrior soccer coach Ron Cooper smiled smugly after his team clinched a first place finish with a 1-O win at York last Saturday. He had good cause for feeling satisfied as the win moved his Warriors one step closer to their ultimate goal - the OUAA Championship. Saturday’s contest pitted the Warriors “team-oriented” playing style against a talented York attacking unit. Mike Burke, the league’s leading scorer, spearheaded the York attack but failed to elude the Warriors’ tight defensive coverage. Tom Dabroniski, assigned to shadow Burke, together with his defensive mates, Bob Stevenato, Brian Miller and Jim Valliant, limited York to only a few clear-cut scoring opportunities. Warrior scorer Sip Akbar broke the scoreless deadlock 35 minutes into the first half with a shot that startled the Yoemen. His windaided volley from 35 yards out caught the York goaltender out of position, sailing over his outstretched arms high into the top corner of the net. Minutes later Warrior right winger Lance Greccan broke into the clear and narrowly missed a chance to increase Waterloo’s 1-O margin. -Near misses seemed the order of the day as York striker Mike Burke slipped through the Warrior’s defense and pushed a shot past goalkeeper Marcus Klien, bouncing it
off the right goal post and wide off the net. The first half ended with the Warriors leading a frustrated York 1-o. The second half opened with York- storming into the Warriors’ defensive zone. In a desperate attempt to score the equalizer, York was again denied as Warrior defenders Jeff Balon cleared a ball off the goal-line to avert a gdal. The unsung heroes of the Warriors victory, however, were midfielders Brian Fillion and Paul Stevenato. Their diligent efforts ondefence neutralized much of Yorks midfield play while on offensive they handled the ball intelligently, probing the weaknesses in the York L defense. Warrior forwards Bert VanHoot, Zenon Moszora and Ron Cooper (no relation to coach), all came close to scoring for Waterloo in the
Good weather and a well conducted meet enabled the breaking of many records at the Oct. 16 OUAA-OWIAA track and field championships at McMaster University .

Warriors win another The Warriors won their last game of the season against the York Yoemen, in a closely contested 6-l battle. This was the Warriors: second win of the season and means that they will remain in front of last place York in the league standings. Waterloo’s 6 points came from 2 Mike Karpow field goals, a 38yarder in the first quarter and a 32-yarder in the third quarter. Kevin Beagle accounted for the single Yoemen point on a 42-yard sprint. . Waterloo’s 6 points came from 2 Mike , Karpow field goals, a and a 6%yard passing attack. The Yoemen managed 104 yards in the air and 66 yards on the ground. Head coach Wally Delahey summed up- the team’s performance stating that their offense was deplorable but their defence shone. He stated that this was probably the defence’s finest game, and he was encouraged by the improvement that he witnessed this year in the performance of the defensive line. . In general, Coach Delahey said
second half. Only a diving save prevented Coopers well-placed shot from scoring 5 minutes from the end of the game. The final whistle was greeted with Warriors jubilation, as W7aterloo upped their seasons record to 9 wins, 0 losses, and no ties. With only a Wednesday night game in Guelph remaining, the Warriors are already assured of a first place standing. They will meet the University of Toronto Blues this Saturday, (Oct. 30), 2:00 pm at Seagrams stadium, in a sudden death playoff battle for the OUAA championship. The winners will represent- Ontario in the C.I.A.U. Finals to be played November 13, 14 in Montreal. We welcome your vocal support but if for some reason you can’t make it to the game Saturday-keep your fingers crossed!
he was disappointed with the team’s performance this year, but he pointed out that this was a young team and next year he will only be losing five players. The defensive line will remain intact and this should be a real source of strength. When asked what he felt were the team’s real weaknesses this year he replied pass defence and the team’s inability to mount a consistent offensive attack. This latter problem might be attributed in part to the fact that Quarterback Greg Jones broke his arm earlier in the season. While the Warriors didn’t exactly shine as a team, this year, several players put in outstanding individual performances. Coat h Delahey believes that five W.arriors have a chance to go in this year’s draft. They are defensive captain John tackle Rothwell, Pat Chimaris, Tim Pickett and linebacker Duncan Prange. Kirk Defazzio, winner of this year’s Tom Pate scholarship is expected to be drafted as well. Unfortunately, Kirk was unable to play at all this season due to a knee operation he had late last summer. - m.h.
Rob Town of Waterloo, a recent addition to the team from Orillia, was also a double winner. Rob won the shot put with a personal best put of 14.59m (57’) and later picked up the discus gold medal (145’). In addition, Rob was a bronze medallist in the javelin, losing to Giovani Corazza of Ottawa U., who also set an OUAA record of 69.3 lm (227’) ! Rob’s remarkable showing gave Waterloo 26 of its 45 -points which were enough to finish in 3rd place. This was an improvement over last year’s sixth place finish. The University of Toronto was again victorious ’ in the team standings with 203 points. They were followed closely by Queen’s Univer\ sity with 184. The women’s team championship was taken by McMaster University. In this contest the small, four member, Waterloo team was sixth. Mary McKenzie picked up a silver medal in the 3OOOm run posting a personal best time of 11: 17.4. Lorraine Luypaert also obtained a silver medal in the discus throw with a 33.52m toss. The final women’s point scorer was Pat Sparling. Pat was third in the long jump (15.5’) and sixth in the 1OOm (12.9s). The men’s 4 by 1OOm relay team of Paul Dowhaniuk, Brad Bennett, Keith Gittens, and Jeff Mohun ran very well to pick up 3rd place with a time of 45.0s. The 4 by 400m relay team was also quite impressive, in forth place with a time of 3:29.0. This team consisted of Don McQueen, Dave Demaiter, Randy Belore and Allan Baigent. Other notable Waterloo performances; Dave Philp, 4th, pole vault, 3.90m (13’10), Allan Baigent, 6th, 800m 1:58.5, Randy Belore, 7th, 400m, 52.3 (51.8h), Jeff Mohun, 8th, 200m, 23.0, Don McQueen, lOth, 800m, 2:03.9, Paul Dowhaniuk, 5th, long jump, 5.79m (19’), Jim Nishikawa, 5th, triple jump, 12.24m (40’). The team is looking forward to an even better indoor season which will start in January. Practices will be starting on the first of November with weight and power training for the jumpers and sprinters, while the runners will be continuing to run outdoors in the snow with occasional interval training in the main gym. Persons who are in, terested in training and competing for the team (men or women) this winter, should come to the practices (times posted outside the change rooms) or call Gord Robertson (884-2927 in the evenings). -gord

Council nudged On Tuesday, November 9, there will be a meeting of the Men’s Intercollegiate Athletic Council. It is hoped that each team that competes in intercollegiate athletics will send two representatives to this meeting. Its purpose will be to appoint an executive and review the functions of the council. This council has not been overly zealous in the past, and has been more or less dormant since the beginning of the year. But it seems that there is great potential for the council to do a number of good things. Some of the possibilities are: starting up an active lettermen club for athletes with their varsity letter; participating in forming an active alumni organization ; sponsoring social get-togethers; and establishing better lines of communications between the various intercollegiate teams, the athletic department and the media. In the past, the Men’s Council has shown that it can organize and take a responsible role in directing men’s athletics. Let’s hope that it will reassume this role and get into some of the above-mentioned activities. -mike

Club news Monday October 25 there was an excellent turnout for the intramural athletic club meeting held at the Grad Club. The ony club not present was table tennis. Each club gave a brief outline of their various activities, means of fund raising and plans for the future. In general, the membership is up for most clubs and day to day operations are running smoothly. After the briefs, men’s ’ intramural director Peter Hopkins brought forward a motion that the outers club amalgamate with the white water and orientering clubs. In the ensuing discussion this motion wassupported unanimously on the basis that one strong executive could take the place of three smaller ones. The one larger body could have more impact on campus than the three little ones. Pooled resources would allow all three organizations to accomplish more. For example they may publish a joint news letter, and there would be only one body to go to if you need information. It is hoped more people will become involved in the newly expanded outers club.
