The past week has seen Shane Roberts resort to petty harassment -in his continued campaign against the chevron. On Monday, Roberts, accompanied by Federation Treasurer Manny Brykman and Board of Entertainment Chairman Doug Antoine, removed the cameras and cabinet from the ofphotographic lice. On Tuesday morning there was a second attempt to change the locks of the chevron door by a physical resources employee. Chevron staffer Ernstvon Bezold pointed out to him that the chevron solicitor had said staff had every right to access to the space. Moreover, there was no proper authorization for changing the lock. The man said he did not want to get involved in politics, and then left. Later that afternoon Arts Councillor Bruce Leavens and Roberts came into the chevron office. Roberts attempted to remove a typebriter. A staff committee had been counselled by the chevron lawyer to hold on to the equipment if anything like that took place, and several members of staff proceeded to do just that. In the ensuing melie Roberts is-alleged to have stomped on Henry Hess’ feet and pushed Docherty

Students Course evaluations have come to the Arts faculty; but only just. Student opinionnaires are’ likely to be introduced next term, following a narrow 25-21 vote of approval in Tuesday’s Arts Faculty Council. It took over one and a half hours of debate before council acceptkd the evaluation proppsal which has taken a special committee 20 months to devise. The opposition to the opinionnaires was largely based on the criticism that they could not adequately evaluate a teacher’s ability. But in an interview Wednesday

In order to have the two council members recalled, the petitioners needed to get 15 per cent of students in the Arts faculty to sign, but no less than the number who elected them.

Klingender and Orth each received just over a hundred votes when they were elected in February, but 359 signatures were required on their recall petitions. At press time there was some confusion as to whether or not the petitions would be accepted by Roberts due to a conflict over which bylaws were applicable to petitions of this sort. If the recall is accepted, the two seats will be declared vacant 72 hours after the petitions are received and anyone in the Arts faculty, including the two recalled councillors, can run for election. -doug

Re$ntdd be/o&s recall President ofthe

a statement from the organisers Federation, Shane Roberts.

of a petition

to

A petition to recall Shane Roberts fromthe presidency of the student federation of the University of Waterloo is steadily gaining support on the campus. The people involved in this movement are a group of undergraduate and graduate students from a wide range of disciplines in all faculties. The majority of us have no affiliations with any political group on campus - we are a group of concerned students, concerned with the representation of students in the federation. We base the necessity for Roberts’ recall on both his inaction on student problems, and his actions since taking office. In his election campaign he stressed the need for organization of students to deal with collective problems, especially organization based on his “elaborated strategy to combat the cutbacks (in education spending)” (letter to the Chevron, Feb. 13/76). He has done nothing to even attempt to organize students; National Student Day was a farce due to lack of organization and subsequent lack of interest. His failure to organize any student discussion on, or opposition to cutbacks in education spending is glaring. His pledge to “retain a lawyer to deal with foreign student problems and to increase the status of the foreign student advisor from half-time to full-time” (Chevron, Jan. 23/76) has been shown to be hypocrisy - when foreign student fees were almost tripled recently, Roberts wasn’t concerned enough to even issue a statement in protest. He proposed “setting up a joint committee of landlords and students to work‘together on the problem (of student housing)“; little study and no action has been taken or is likely to be takenon housing problems. He stressed the “need for consistent flow of information to the students” (speech, Jan. 20/76), yet 95% of students know virtually nothing about the federation’s actions or plans. The list of forgotten priorities and promises is capable of much greater extension to include areas of grade appeals, extended course evaluations, entertainment, an ombudsperson, day care, etc. ad

Roberts’ hollow words echo through the campus: “with my experience with the-federation, I can promise not only to do my best, but also reasonably*expect to implement most of what I have outlined”(Chevron, Jan. 23/76). While he has been inactive on many fronts, Roberts has been active on his true priorities. In the light of his stated intention to “make it (the university institution) more democratic” (speech, Jan. 20/76), consider his quest for democracy. He has shut down the student newspaper without investigation or prior approval of student council; the committee established to review by-laws pertaining to control of the paper never met. the He created a “task force” without power to investigate causes of federation-Chevron conflicts and with only four days to recommend new by-laws. He called a general meeting of all students for Oct. 29/76 to pass such by-laws, and limited said meeting to three hours although 12 motions on the future of the student newspaper were on the agenda. As chief justice of the federation, Roberts was instrumental in ruling that the meeting could not be continued past the arbitrary three hour deadline, after his own motion *was defeated and it became apparent that motions which he personally opposed would be passed. He has shown blatant political patronage by appointing personal friends ’c He has shown blatant political patronage by appointing personal friends to key federation positions without even advertising that these positions wereopen. For example, the recent appointment of Leona Kyrytow as chairperson of the board of publications. , Kyrytow is council secretary. He has continued to prevent students from participating in student council meetings in spite of the fact that this is illegal under the Corporations Act under which the federation is chartered. All this from a man who has pleged to encourage student participation and democracy. We call on all students of the University of Waterloo to sign the petition to recall Roberts, so we can collectively elect a responsible and honest federation president.

locks failed Tuesday morning with the man sent to make the ,change leaving when some chevron staffers questioned the legality of his errand. Contacted at that time, Knorr refused to give any information as to who had requested the change, suggesting the paper consult its superiors.

Research materials dealing with the 19,000 sq. mi. of timber that Reed Paper Co. is planning to develop in North-Western Ontario were stolen from the office of UW professor Roger Suffling. The theft of a computer program, data, and research notes was noticed Monday, November 8 and “we immediately reported it to Campus Security,” said professor Greg Michalenko, Suffling’s research colleague, in an interview this-Monday. “The material taken was of narrow interest” and “it was obviously done by someone who thought he had to deal secretly,” Michalenko reported. Suffling had worked for Acres Consulting Services and had taken part in the preliminary study of the - proposed mill site near Ear Falls. Reed financed the 11 volume study ’ and submitted it to governmental study. It was withdrawn after it received harsh criticism and hasn’t been seen since. Michalenko said that they had been working on “a forest inventory survey of the area,” something neither the government nor Reed has done. This survey would determine _ the “sustained yields” of the forest. In explanation, if it takes x number of years for a reforested area to mature, the whole area would have to be divided into x number of sections, and one section cut per year. He emphasized that “the robbery isn’t important in itself, but a symptom of the whole climate of secrecy which surrounds the whole affair. ’ ’ (The proposed deal between Reed and the government .) “The Ministry of Natural Resources wanted to hush it up until the deal-was finalized and it is well known that the first disclosure came from pilfered memos,” said Michalenko. “I wrote to the Natural Resources, Environment Ministries and Reed on October 8 asking about the extent of their survey. The ministries haven’t even acknowledged; Reed sent me a blurb, but it really didn’t answer my questions . ’ ’ The stolen material caused at least a two month delay. With the possibility of public hearings in the near future, this material will be sorely missed, he said. -john

Radio Waterloo also asked for $5000 in order to buy a transmitter, but treasurer Manny Brykmann asked that the motion be tabled so that the treasury council could consider the proposal. 0 Art Eby, chairperson ofthe Board of External Relations, asked council to financially endorse a candidate to the tune of $300 in the upcoming municipal election, but several councillors objected because they felt the idea was “just ridiculous”. When Bullseye editor Douglas Thompson was questioned about the cost of the Bullseye, he repeated what he said at the October 3 1 council meeting: “I’ll see what I can do.” Council also accepted Thompson’s resignation as OFS liaison officer because of his “heavy workload”.

Wednesday, November 17th marked the third anniversary of the death of 200 students at the Polytechnic School of Athens. A memorial service commemorating these students will be held this Sunday, November 21 in MC 2065 at-5 pm. The service, sponsored by the Greek Students Association, will I be held in rememberance of those students who fought the fascist actions of the Greek military dictatorship in 1973. A pamphlet explaining the background to the Polytechnic massacre has been issued by the Greek Students Association. The first strike taken against the students of the Polytechnic School of Athens by the junta was on April 21st, 1967, shortly after the junta had taken power. The junta jailed and exiled student leaders and fired progressive teachers and professors. They immediately implemented laws which drafted students who refused to attend classes, expelled students who rebelled against the actions of the junta and issued military officers to control the students and professors. The students formed an underground movement which engaged in active resistance against the junta. The pamphlet explains that the students used “bombs, proclamations, messages through tape recorders and printed matter” as fighting material. The junta, in response, arrested and exiled many students. They also organized on a world scale by gaining informers in embassies and consulates and Greek communities who spied and informed on native Greeks. February 14, 1973, was another historical day in the existence of the Greek Student Movement. The students organized to boycott classes in protest of the law which drafted students who didn’t attend classes. The police violated the students’ academic asylum by making several arrests. On November 14th, 1973, the students of the Polytechnic School of Athens organized a mass demonstration. That evening the students elected a 24-member synchronizing committee. This committee organized the students into a fighting entity. The number of demonstrators on campus increased to 50,000. On the evening of November 16th, the police arrived, to throw tear gas at the demonstrators and to start shooting at the crowd. At 1:05 am (Saturday, November 17th, 1973) the junta forces approached the demon3trators in tanks. The soldiers arranged themselves outside the school. ’ , At 2 pm the first tank ran over the iron gate of the school, the soldiers and policemen ran into the school. I That morning nearly 200 students were killed. One year later, though the political situation in Greece had changed, the demands of the students still had not been met. The pamphlet outlined fifteen demands of the students including such items as the right to academic freedom and the right to democratic procedures concerning student organizations. The struggle of the students of the Polytechnic School of Athens was not supressed that Saturday morning. That day served to pass the flame of liberty to the people of Greece to burn the foreign initiated and backed up military regime, 1 973, the pamphlet concludes.

Rights violated in Indonesia In Indonesia, many of the 50,000 prisoners classified as “politically dangerous” have been in jail without formal charges or trial since 1965. These people are accused of having been involved in the 1965 proSukarno coup; but since there is no sufficient evidence on which to try them, they simply langush in prison. At the invitation of Amnesty InCanada, Carmel ternational Budiardjo spoke at UW last Monday on the plight of the lOO,OOO-odd political prisoners in Indonesia. The British-born Budiardjo was herselfa “prisoner of conscience” for three years, and her husband has been in jail for about ten years. Since her release in 1971, Budiardjo has been involved with TAPOL, a human rights organization based in London‘, England, for the release of Indonesian prisoners of conscience. Speaking on the widespread violation of human rights by the Indonesian military regime, Budiardjo said that since the regime-seized power in 1965, repressive measures have been taken against the trade union movement as a whole. About one third of the three million membersof the movement was

Since 1971 there has been a rapid strengthening of ties between Canada and Indonesia. In 1974 Canada agreed to give $40 million (up from $5.7 million in 197 1) in credit. Following the lead of the U.S., Japan; Holland and West Germany, Canada is increasing its bilateral assistance to Indonesia. “Much of the assistance is tied aid,” said Budiardjo. “It creates a’ market for Canadian goods in Indonesia.”

OTTAWA (CUP) - Students working part-time next academic year may face reduced financial aid as a result of recent proposed changes in federal student loans. The decision that financial aid be reduced for students whose earnings from part-time jobs exceed a monthly ceiling was one of several changes to the administrative criteria I for the Canada Student Loans Plan (CSLP),at a meeting of federal and provincial representatives here Oct. 5-6. But the changes ~proposed by the Canada Student Loans Plenary Group must receive the unanimous consent of the nine provinces participating in CSLP, and will not be officially announced until the release of the CSLP criteria booklet next spring, according to a federal official. Madeline Kallio of the Department of Finance said the Plenary Group does not release information about its deliberations, nor are the meetings, which’are held in secret, announced. The results of the plenary group’s meeting came to light in an interview by the U niversity of Manitoba student newspaper with the provincial student aid-director Rick Kleiman, one of the nine student aid directors represented on the CSLP administrative body. The changes include: -the imposition of a ceiling on part-time earnings of $75 monthly

Bethune’s spirit well remembered On November 12, 1939, in the remote Chinese village of Tanghsien, in the midst of the Chinese people’s war against the Japanese imperialists, Dr. Norman Bethune died. Today. thirty-seven years later, this one Canadian is remembered by millions of people around the world. Of all the reasons why Bethune is an international hero, the most important is his spirit. It is the spirit of proletarian internationalism. Norman Bethune put into practice the teachings of Lenin on proletarian internationalism. Lenin maintained that world revolution can only succeed if the proletariat of capitalist countries support the liberation struggles of the proletariat of colonial and semicolonial countries. As a youth, Bethune’s internationalism was already taking form. He worked in isolated bush camps to educate the immigrant workers who contributed so much to building Canada - the Europeans and Chinese coolies who have become the backbone of the country. Later, Bethune travelled thousands of miles, to Spain and to China, where he used his skill‘as a surgeon to help the liberation struggle of the people of both countires. He worked day and night to save the lives of hundreds, never thinking of himself. Bethune wrote, “A million workmen come from Japan to kill or mutilate a million Chinese workmen. Why should the Japanese worker attack his brother, who is forced merely to defend himself? Will the Japanese worker benefit from the death of the Chinese? “No, how can he gain? Who is responsible for sending these Japanese workmen on this murderous mission? Who will profit from it? How was it possible to persuade the Japanese workman -to attack the Chinese workman - his brother in poverty;, his companion in misery? “The agents of a criminal war of aggression, such as this, must be looked for like the ,agents of other crimes, such as murder, among those who are most likely to-benefit from those crimes. Will the 80,000,OOO workers of Japan, the poor farmers,’ the unemployed industrial workers - will they gain? In the entire history of the wars of aggression, from the conquest of Mexico by Spain, the capture of India by /England, the rape of Ethiopia by Italy, have the workers countries of those “victorious” ever been known to benefit? No, these never benefit from such wars. “It would seem inescapable that the militarists and the capitalists of Japan are the only class likely to gain by mass murder, this au-

.

thorized madness, this sanctified butchery. That ruling class, the true‘state, stands accused.” Clearly, Bethune felt no hatred for the Japanese soldiers. He realized ‘that the interests of the Japanese and the Chinese soldiers were one and the same. Both are part of the international proletariat whose common interest is to overthrow the class which oppresses them, manipulates them, and uses them as pawns in a war profitable only to themselves. Indeed, Bethune realized that the interests of the Spanish, Japanese, Chinese and people of all countries are closely tied in the struggle against the bourgeoisie. This is why Bethune felt as a brother to the Chinese. He was oblivious to colour or nationality, seeing only a united front of the proletariat of every country in struggle for their liberation. This is why Bethune went to China. This is why Beihune is remembered. This is the spirit of proletarian in- . ternationalism. -petra -robert

Wages takenTORONTO (CPA-CUP) - The United Steelworkers of America estimated that given the present trend in AIB roll-backs, the wage controls program will have effectively removed $800 million from the pockets of Canadian workers during the first year of the program. This figure does not include the cost of non-wage benefits lost by roll-backs, or the indirect effect of these roll-backs on the incomes of those who normally look to the rolled-back groups as wage-pattern setters. Including these factors, the total estimated loss could double to $1.6 million for the first year. The estimate from the steelworker’s research department is based on the trend of AIB decisions up to August 13, and predicts that of the 4.9 million employees covered by the AIB Act, about 2.8 million will see their incomes rolled-back.

Heredity

(7, : .

No ‘rietal evidence, some- rea/ fraud I

The research of several “scientists” who upheld genetic theories was of human intelligence thoroughly discredited in a psychology department colloquium held here on October 29. Professor Leon Kamin of Princeton University exposed the history of incredibly corrupt use of IQ tests in the U.S. against immigrants, the poor and racial minorities, and he then showed that in today’s psychology journals “the message is fundamentally the same”, . although the language is now more “civil”. When Binet devised the IQ test in France in 1905, he did not believe that it measured innate capacity. In fact, he firmly believed in the’plasticity of intelligence, and he proposed a program of “mental orthopaedics” for slower learners. The test was adoptedin the U.S., on the other hand, by menwho had utter contempt for the working class and who believed that mental ability was fixed permanently by heredity. Many of these psychologists advocated compul-. sory sterilization for anyone who was supported by the state. Although compulsory sterilization laws were passed by 3 1 states,

Thirty-four thousand refugees, of all ages are spread over five countries as a result of the struggle of the Zimbabwean people to liberate their country (S. Rhodesia) from the white minority regime of Ian Smith. The. people have been forced to flee from their land leaving their livestock, crops and personal possessions. According to the main liberation force in the country the people have been faced with increased repression since the war of liberation intensified in l975. The Zimbabw.e African National Union (ZANU) is appealing for aid to help the refugees. It says in a press release that the refugees fled from: “ . . . the intensification of the expropriation of African property, continuous displacement of Africans from their homes, extension of concentration camps (euphemistically called ‘protected villages’ by the Smith regime), indiscriminate massacres of innocent African mothers, fathers and their children who were caught in the cross fire.” The mass exodus has led to a concentration of refugees ,in neighbouring Mozambique, where they are now a cause for serious health hazards, the statement says. Cholera and malaria are said to often break out in the refugee camps. Zanu estimates that it requires $704,000- to maintain the refugees for one month. That is money for pod, medicine, clothing, education, transportation and maternity. Another $100,000 is needed for . six ambulances, 10 mobile clinics, four oneton trucks and 10 tractors. Donations should be sent to ZANU, 4450 Carlton Ave., Montreal, Quebec. -neil

The reason why this subsidy is so all is that the chevron brings in jut $69,000 in advertising reme which covers printing and st other operating costs. ,et’s look more closely at that 1,070. It represents only 7.1 per it of the total student subsidy to federation.

Over the same five year period the budget for permanent office staff and benefits, a large component of .administrative costs, jumped from $41,100 to $49,600 and lawyer’s and auditor’s fees zoomed from a combined $7,500 to $16,000. Even more interesting is a brand new item which appears in this year’s federation budget: “Presidential Administration’.‘. The nearest thing to it in the previous budget was a president’s discretionary fund, allocated $2,860. Presidential administration this year gives Roberts $23,950. This, combined with the $11,000 previously noted, boosts administrative costs this year by nearly $35,000 and sh oves the total ad-

were arrested, and 36 of them were injured by police. The dictorial regime of the Shah, fearful of its exposure to world public opinion, has taken indirect actions against the Iranian students with the collaboration of the U.S. and French governments. In the past year the Shah of Iran has committed several crimes against Iranian students, such as: 1) Imprisonment “of over 100,000 people (according to Amnesty International reports); 2) Murder of more than 100 patriots, workers, students, and revolutionaries from the “People’s Fadii Organization” and the “Organization of Modaheen of the People of Iran”. One of themost recent ones was the killing of Aytollah Shamsabadi, a popular religious leader; 3) Trying to stifle the Liberation movement of the people of Oman by sending troops and the air force to that country; 4) According to Amnesty International, there is daily expansion of torture including hanging the victim upside down from the ceiling and beating him, burning with cigarettes, pulling out fingernails, raping women in front of their husbands, beating children

in the presence of their parents, inflicting burns to every area of the body, using electric shocks, etc. SAVAK is -an inhumane organization applying all kinds of torture and brutality to the Iranian people in order to keep the butcher Shah in power. It was only recently that one of the SAVAK agents was expelled from Switzerland because of spying activities. The Iranian Students Associal tion in Kitchener-Waterloo condemns this latest conspiracy against the Iranian students and asks for the immediate release of those arrested. We ask all progressive and democratic-minded people to support us in this just struggle by sending telegrams or letters of support CA.

Mare than- just -a light dream Fairies beware ! The hunt is on. 3eneath the comic mask of A Midsummer Shakespeare’s Gght’s Dream, now playing at the theatre of the Arts, a trial of love’s cloys divides friends, splits kingloms and severs Nature’s most lemental bond; that which is beween man and woman. Our point of departure: the >alace of King Theseus of Athens. Ie has recently conquered the Amazons and has taken their queen or his bride; but he must find out hat winning a woman’s heart is as difficult, if not akin to winning a var. This may be the focus of direcor Tom Bentley-Fisher’s interpreation of the script. Each of the lovers must be taught .he true worth of their passion, the ;eriousness of commitment towards each other. Each will. be re;uked, each will play the infidel, snd all will bereconciledin the end. Only sad Helena, mad Helena must bear the cruel jest played upon her by Nature, in that it has left her the sole ugly duckling in the crowd. The others have their outer vanity to console them. Helena had a friend once, but that friend has become a thorn in her heart. She has neither looks, nor charm, nor position to ease the pain. It is Helena who teaches us the inner torment of being alone. Perhaps it is only fitting that she have the most poignant lines in the play. This touch of the serious never drags down the tone of the play. Rather, it is a neat counter-balance for the burlesquecharacterizations of Lysander and Demetrius under the influence of the love herb. Bruce Fowler, as Lysander, and Rick Armstrong, as Demetrius, thoglgh never entirely believable, break down one’s prejudices with energetic, exceedingly funny per-

An aspect of production which does take away from the flow of the action is the lighting effects. Somewhere along the line too many cooks spoiled the goose.

formances. William Chadwick plays an Edwardian Theseus out for a little sport, a bit of live game; the prey being Patricia Bentley-Fisher, a stunning, lynx-eyed Hippolyta. The two double up in the roles of Oberon and Titania. The controlled, indirect attitudes of Theseus and Hippolyta strongly contrast the sensual, direct characters of the unearthly Oberon and Titania. One can almost contemplate upon the two couples being alter egos. In a neat bitof staging, the fairies of Oberon and Titania become extensions of their masters. When Titania recoils, her fairies pull back in phalanx formation. As Oberon advances, his fairies slowly creep forward. Free re&n is given to Jay Wilson as Puck. He too puts forth a high energy performance. Occasionally, though, he gets lost in shtick - repetitious burlesque. One can hardly blame the

The lovers ‘are the objects of the jest, just as we are the objects of the playwright’s jest; not a mocking -_ jest, merely one to bring the story home.

The saddest part of opening night was the size of the audience. Barely half of the seats were sold. This production deserves full houses. That it delights is beyond question. Belly-laughs rang throughout the house. In strict theatre terminology, one could say that the show “works.” -myles kestoii

and zthe famous French guitarist, Alexandre Lagoya. Lagoya heard her play in Toronto and invited her to study with him in his Nice and Quebec Master classes. With the aid of a Canada Council grant she continued with private lessons for a year in Paris. She so impressed Lagoya that he deemed her “one of my most brilliant stu- fi dents.” In 1972, Liona Boyd graduated from the University of Toronto Music Faculty with honours. She received a Bachelor of Music Degree in Performance, and that same year )placed first for guitar in the Canadian National Music Competition. Her debut recording, “Classical Guitar - Liona Boyd”, and her second album, “The Guitar”, prove that she is a sensitive and extremely ‘skilled female virtuoso. She has given numerous concerts throughout Canada and the States, toured Britain and Holland, given school recitals in Canada and France, and performed -often on television and radio. During a recently completed tour with Gordon Lightfoot and his back-up band, she performed solo. In Toronto, she participated in this year’s Olympic Benefit Concert where she was kind enough to obtain a Benefit T-shirt for her younger brother, even though he makes her keep the door to ,her room closed while she practices. Liona Boyd is beautiful, brilliant and gifted. She is a personal friend of Pierre Trudeau, and People magazine writes : “her star ascends in the firmament of classical guitar.” -sus&

That evening council voted to close the chevron for four weeks. But when somt councillors such as Rob Morrison begar speaking out against Roberts’ motion to fir-c Docherty and me, Roberts went into cau.cu: with a few of his henchmen and produced 2 new motion: to dissolve all the editorial posi tions. This passed, 11-8, although I have a writ ten opinion from a lawyer stating that the motion contravenes federation bylaws and i$ therefore of no effect. Nevertheless Roberts felt he had rid him. self of two persons whom he could not con: trol. And now, when I demanded to know why I had been “eliminated”, he replied thal because the chevron-was closed there was no need for editors, conveniently forgetting that his motion to fire us preceded council’s closing of the paper by a week. Roberts still hasn’t told me why he wanted me fired or why I’m “officially undesirable” but 1 believe it’s because I started to get in his way. Terry Harding told in a recent letter how Roberts prevented him from being appointed to the Board of Publications because he held different political views. I know I never had any conflicts with Roberts until I declined to be used a second time to keep Neil Docherty (who holds different political views to Roberts) out of the chevron. And then when I refused to support the closing of the paper but declared I would fight it, I became not only disposable but a menace. I know why I was fired. What I really can’t understand is why more students here don’t do something about Roberts’ continuing attempts to seize their newspaper. If you say it wasn’t all that good in the past I’ll agree with you. But I maintain that it was (and is) changing for the better, and believe that if you read the September issues you’ll agree. Do you really think that Roberts wants to give you a better paper? A man who fired editors without a fair hearing or any evidence? Who closed the chevron “for a maximum of four weeks” but two months later hasn’t opened it? Who sees himself without student support at the General Meeting he called and so votes to adjourn the meeting and, when that is defeated, gets it adjourned arbitrarily and without a motion? If you want the chevron changed get it reinstated. Set up an investigative committee of interested students to decide what they object to and how it could best be changed. If they decide I haven’t been doing my job then let them fire me, but this time with reasons why. And let them look too at how and why Roberts could do the things he has, claiming all the while to represent students but ignoring them whenever their opinions conflict with his. 1 think you owe it to a lot of students down here who have been working damned hard trying to produce a good student newspaper. But most of all, you owe it to yourselves. -henry

years in Iowa State is the court leader we needed” said Coach Kemp. “She has the ability to read the opposition, she is an excellent shot and a powerful ball handler.” She will be supported in the two front system by Bonnie Zagrodney, a digging, driving little guard. Louise Taylor and Chris Rozad from Southwood and Preston respectively, are excellent back ups to the guard positions. The Athenas will not play with a designated center this year, but will rotate players through three forward positions. Chris Timms, Jan Passmore, both strong offensive players are ,expected to be mainstays in the Athena front line. Three rookies who look good in the forward spots are Marg Kerr, Norie Spence and Vicky Binder. Norie and Mary are both from Toronto and have considerable playing experience with club teams in the Toronto area. Vicky who hails from Windsor plays strong defense and is expected to be an asset in the board area. The team is rounded out by Cathie , Hanna and Brenda Rootham. These two players will contribute to the Athenas inside game. The Athenas play International (FIB A) rules. These rules allow for a fast moving, exciting style of play. Two new features of FIBA rules this year are the 3 to make 2 rule at the foul line, and the introduction of the 3 point play. The Athenas will have several strong teams to contend with Ianthe West section of the OWIAA. Guelph, although not tall, will be tough defensively. Western, last year’s 2nd place team have returned most of their players plus added a junior National player. Marty Demaree. All the OWIAA teams know that their biggest challenge will be last year’s National Champions, Laurentian University. Laurentian will have most of their starters back plus National team players Ann Hurley and Chris Critelli and two impressive transfers, Kim Hansen from UNB and Coreen Cote from Ottawa. The Athenas will play Laurentian November 20 in Sudbury. Tuesday, November 9th was the first home opener for the Athenas. They played a much improved York University team.

Sports report from WLU On Friday, November 19 and Saturday, November 20, W ilfrid Laurier University will host its Third Annual Basketball Tournanent. This year’s tourney will consist of teams from three Canadian Universities and one American. This year’s Tournament, like last year’s, will also include four local high school teams. ’ The high school clubs will inelude last season’s Ontario Golden Ball Finalists, Glendale of Tillson)urg who finished second in the Jrovince of Ontario. Once again .hey promise to be one of the top :eams in Ontario and are aiming to :ake first place in the Laurier Tourlament. Returning in the university sec:ion will be the University of Waterloo. The Warriors, with a young but experienced team, feel they have the ingredients to make :his season another success. During the 1975-76 season they captured the OUAA title and went on to place third in the Nationals. They also participated in a number of tournaments of which they won four, The Klondike Classic, The Ottawa Tip-Off, The Naismith and

The Laurentian. Capta.in, Trevor Briggs, a league all-star last season along with co-captain Don Larman will head the team which will include Mike Visser, 6’4”, a leading scorer and Lou Nelson, 6’8”, a promising transfer from the Eastern Division. Bishops University from ‘Lennoxville, Quebec is strong in height and desire. They have a substantial number of returnees including last year’s top scorer, Morgan Quinn and Jim Reid, a’6’6” centre. Highlighting the newcomers is a speedy guard, Ron Thomas who is a grad from Johnson State, Ver. Coach Garth Smith feels he is the most exciting player in the league. The team is much improved and it is believed that they will give the leaders in their division a tough battle. Here for the tourney from the United States is Siena Heights College, Adrian, Michigan. They are a young team but -with experienced men such as John Dillard and D’Jon Wimberly who both average 62% shooting from the field and shining newcomers such as forwards Charles McCullough and Tyrone Richardson, their team will provide .

tough competition in this tournament . Having lost their three leading scorers, Chuck Chambliss (30 points per game), MarkChristensen (23 ppg), and Gary Schwartz (18ppg) this will be a rebuilding year for the host team, WLU. However, outstanding returnees Mike Cleary, Ken Dougherty and Peter Zwart will have to contend with along with promising newcomers, Fred Koepke and Larry Labaj. Koepke, 6’7” is a freshman who has been exposing his tremendous scoring and rebounding\ abilities in this season’s exhibition games. The team is young but will present a challenge to any opponent they ,will meet this season. The format of this year’s Tournament will see the high schools play Friday at 2:00 and 4:00 p.m. with the loser of each game playing the following day at 2:00 p.m. while the winners’will meet at 4:00 p.m. Similarly, in the university division the loser of the 7:OO p.m. game will meet the loser of the 9:00 p.m. game the following night at 7:00 p.m. for consolation honours followed by the Championship game at 9:00 p.m.

Sabotage

-

I have followed in recent months Shane Roberts’ d.espicable performances as President of the Student Federation. His feeble attempts to close down the chevron, his attempts to sabotage the activities of those students who are working hard to reinstate the chevron and his total abandonment of all students’ interests give testimony to the claims I made in the chevron (January 10, 1976) following the Presidential elections: “Shane Roberts’ campaign was waged on lies, gutter politics and McCarthyism. In his backroom deals and manipulations he has exposed himself before the students. Time will further confirm that Shane Roberts is a traitor to the students of the University of Waterloo.” Time has indeed given us a clear picture of this parasite. Roberts’ administration is the worst, most incompetent-and most corrupt in the history of the University of Waterloo. All kinds of student funds are siphoned into committees and projects that Roberts creates for himself and his motley bunch of cohorts. e.g. Bullseye. Time has shown that this character has done absolutely nothing to oppose cutbacks in education spending and particularly the massive hike in the fees that International _. Students have to cough up. The fact of the matter is that Roberts’ history is one where he has always sabotaged student unity. I.am thrilled to see so many hardworking students take a stand against this creature; and have rallied to reinstate the chevron. I ,wholeheartedly support the actions of these students. ’ . A character like Shane Roberts is a worthless parasite and has no business on campus. He will soon be swept away by the students.

In reference to the letter of Mr. D. Wahlsten, in your Nov. 12 issue entitled ‘Fascist thinking’, we still feel that there is some clarification necessary with respect to his definition and use of the word ‘fascist’. In particular, we do not believe that his argument for establishing Mr. Lee’s fascism (that is, according to the Wahlsten definition) is as yet completely rigorous. We also feel that there has been some confusion introduced as to the status of Mr. Wahlsten’s definition of ‘fascist’ with the rest of the AIA and the CPC(M-L). Before fully explaining these problems, however, let us say that we understam$Mr. Wahlsten’k definition of a ‘fascist’ to be one who practices all of anti-communism, mysti-cism and racism. (Note: anyone practicing any one or two of these things, while still perhaps being undesirable, cannot be called a fascist .) With this in mind then, Mr. Wahlsten establishes Mr. Lee as a fa=t by establishing _ his anti-communism, his mysticism and his racism. Mr. Lee’s anti-communist and mysticist _stance is adequately explained, but there is still some doubt as to Mr. Lee being a racist, due to a fault in Mr. Wahlsten’s argument on this point. Mr. Wahlsten’s argument

that Mr. Lee is a racist is as follows : from the premise, “Lee defends Enginews against criticism of its racist content last year, castigating them (critics) for not defending the ‘freedom of the press’ of certain racist elements in engineering,” Wahlsten concludes that Lee “wants ‘freedom’ of the press for racists but not for members of the AIA,” (conclusion I) and thus that Lee is a racist (conclusion II). It is clear that given the premise and conclusion I that a fairly strong argument can be made for conclusion II. However, Mr. Wahlsten does not firmly establish conclusion I; particularly the fact that Mr. Lee does not want ‘freedom’ of the press for members of the AIA (conclusion Ib). In his letter, Mr. Wahlsten does not give any evidence at all, let alone sufficient evidence, to support this fact. It is clearthat only having, Mr. Lee.in opposition to those views expressed by the AIA in no way implies that Mr. Lee is in support of supressing their ‘freedom’ of the press. This would be to say that Mr. Wahlsten’s opposition to those with different views to his own would cause Mr. Wahlsten to want those people to be silenced, which is surely not the case. Since we can find nothing else in Mr. Wahlsten’s letter that would remotely suggest conclusion Ib, we can only conclude that Mr. Wahlsten has left out a small detail which we expect he can clarify with great speed. The problem with Mr. Wahlsten’s definition and the AIA and the CPC(M-L) is that in the interview with Hardial Bains in the Nov. 5 edition of the free chevron on page 5, it is apparent to us that Mr. Bains and the AIA wish to consider Shane Roberts and/or the Federation executive as fascists. (paragraph 7 and 8 after subheading ‘Fascist defined’ : (Bains : “anybddy who enthusiastically investigates and says, ‘I’m going to go into the matter’, that person terrifies them (fascists). . Robertson: A case in point. When I said I was going to investigate the chevron affair, they got so terrified and spent hours and hours telling me, ‘You don’t \ need to ask that because we can tell you the truth.’ “) To our knowledge there seems to be no reason to consider any of these people as racists. Does this mean that Mr Wahlsten’s definition is unique to himself, or, as before& this due to some lack of knowledge or confusion on our parts? In any case it is evident that there is still some clarification necessary, and so we hope that Mr Wahlsten will respond to this letter as well as he did to our last, and explain what is indeed wrong.

Beg to differ With respect to your article “What are they hiding?’ ’ , I have never called Heather Robertson an “enemy of the people”. For that matter Heather’s- only “enemy” at the moment is that flaw in her character which lends itself to defend such a vile publication as the free (sic) chevron. By the way, when are you asinine doorknobs going to put out something worth reading. Dave

McLellan

Re the executive meeting in question, Heather Robertson said “When McLelIan made that statement there were only three people in the room: myself, Dave Assmann, and McLellan. I don’t know, maybe he was referring to himself when he said ‘enemiesof the people.“’ ’ Dave Assmann was contacted and said “I was there when that wasbeing said. Heather _-wrote it down as, it was being said, and I said it was correct.” I maintain, Mclellan, that the article “What are they hiding?” is completely accurate. Also, in reference to the third statement made by McLellan, I might ask him when he and his executive friends are

This ,is the concluding part of a statement describing federation of students’ council violations If the federation’s constitution and the principles on which it is based, and calling for redress of numerous illegalities and wrongs and action by students to change the federation.

The emperor has no (power to) close The Board of Publications seems not to have met for months. (I am not aware of its having net in at least two years.) A change in the chevron publicationschedule would need to be ac:ording to CUP principles and procedures to be consistent with by-law, i.e. by agreement with staff or by due process investigation first; action so based, second. President Roberts’ claim to act for the Board of pubs in changing the publication schedule, although the board had not met, seems to me to be highly improper. A Further Motion Apparently “Ultra Vires” After I pointed out at the Hallowe’en students’ council meeting that part of the motion before council regarding the chevron, the part specifying a method’contrary to by-law/for choosing a chevron editor-in-chief, was clearly contrary to by-law and therefore of no effect - so why was it being included? - Shane Roberts said that the section might be ultra vires (“beyond the powers” of the corporation) and might, therefore, be dropped, but would stand in the meantime until a legal opinion was sought. Is this the standard reply to such questions? (PS: Students’ council rescinded the entire motion at their Remembrance Day council meeting. Roberts’ unauthorized removal of che.vron cameras and tape recording equipment from the newspaper office four days later shows that there has been no change of heart on his part. What is needed is restitution. ) In fact the attempt to impose any conditions on resumed publication shows either contempt for;,or blindness to, the by-laws and the press freedom they were supposed to guarantee. It denies editorial autonomy without the required due process and is therefore ultra vires.

Does students’ council have legal power to “resume” tion was never legally suspended? Certainly council can and ought to repeal old motions.

“chairman” claims superpow’er “rights” A fourth instance: Council’s permanent speaker acted as chairperson at thF October 29 general meeting of the members of the federation of students.’ He ruled a matron to change the location of the meeting out of order and proceeded to declare the meeting adjourned despite challenges from the floor on the out-of-order ruling and on the declaration of adjournment. When I mentioned this to a graduate engineering student the following Monday, he asked with astonishment by what authority the chair adjourned? Under by-law 6(6), procedure at general meetings shall be according to Robert’s Rules of Order, Revised for deliberative assemblies, “except where otherwise set out by the by-laws or policies of the corporation.” By-law 12, provides that the Board-of-Directors-appointed “Chairman shall rule on all questions of order and privilege. Any ruling may be challenged from the floor. The Chairman shall then hear two speakers in favour of and two speakers opposed to the ruling, and shall then give a ruling which shall be final. ” ’ This general meeting power is exercised routinely by the council speaker at students’ council meetings, unchallenged by council. As this has been accepted by his usual audience,

it may be slightly less astonishing when the same man oversteps even such phenomenal authority , ignoring a motion and challenges, to illegally declare a meeting adjourned. (The chairperson tried to justify his action to me later after the meeting by saying that he had given the meeting notice of his intention.) What “policies of the corporation” justify this travesty of democracy? Where was the motion to adjourn, and its seconding? No vote was taken on any such motion prior to the declaration of adjournment. Two adjournment motions had earlier been defeated by a majority clearly wanting to get on with the business of the meeting. By-law number 12 evidently aids and abets the habitual exercise of autocratic power. Bureaucratic entrenchment This by-law liberates the bureaucrat and shackles the membership. Its exercise is a glaring symptom of long-term entrenchment of bureaucratic power - rule by regulations in the federation of students. Bureaucratic proliferation is often justified by saying that students are apathetic. This serves administrative careerism by assuming that people are intrinsically passive and “need management”, i.e. manipulation, instead of motivating mass initiative by showing people how their efforts can effect changes that advance their basic interests. “Corporate administration school” is still the order of the day in the federation. The examples cited earlier show that the present council has accepted this condition and that some of our leaders have actively promoted it. I believe federation council, including speaker, have not only been acting contrary to law; they have been exceeding their authority in flagrant antidemocratic abuses of power. Whom does this benefit? Struggle to turn over a new leaf I believe it is reasonable to ask our elected student “leaders” to turn over a new leaf or get out. Some councillors will, I am sure, fail to do this. In that case, let us impeach and replace, them. Council should repeal ultravires motions, and otherwise act to obey the by-laws and put into practice the principles which they claim as lawful and democratic authority for their \ “representative” actions. By-law number 12 should be scrapped immediately. Counci@an prepare to deal with the rest by doing a fact-finding study to show how this mess developed, the present council’s contribution to the situation (including the chevron fiasco), and what positive contribution those working through the federation this year have been able to make under, or in spite of, 4. present conditions. We the students can help make sure-such work would be impartial andthorough by insisting on a public study and participating independently and with fed councillors, demanding equal research resources where appropriate. If, as it may’appear, students need a new federation, we will need more than new byllaws for old. Rules in themselves, or their abolition, would not create rule of, for and by the people. We will have to struggle together for it. Natural laws and social rules are a skeleton; if we love life and liberty we must have the wisdom to use our individual and collective muscle. The voice of the people will only be heard when the people speak. We share vital social, economic, cultural and political problems and potentials together with most. people in Canada and the world. The federation of students should be a megaphone for fundamental student interests. Right now it seems significantly like+a muzzle. We can and ought to change this. Let us act now. ’ -ernst

Editorial

1-y

Eight weeks ago the Federati.on executive, led by Shane Roberts, locked the doors of the chevron office, and without consulting staff, launched a detailed plan of attack against the chevron. One of the excuses mouthed by the executive for locking the chevron doors was “concern about the protection of the chevron office area.” The executive statement referred to “past occasions on campus of theft, property damage, and physical occupation of office space by political groups,” as reasons to lock out the chevron staff. ,This week, Shane Roberts again proved himself guilty of all the crimes he attributes to the chevron staff. Monday, Roberts and two othe; executive members took the chevron’s cameras and ‘photo cabinet from the chevron office. This was not the first occasion of Robe@ arrogantly marching into the chevron office and claiming possession of equipment. During the summer he removed two desks from the chevron office. Monday, following the unjust seizure of the cameras, the chevron staff consulted a lawyer. His advice was that legal ground existsforthe chevron staff to use the chevron space and equipment. The equipment was paid for by students, and designated to be used for the production of the student newspaper. If nothing else, the past eight weeks have demonstrated that the chevron continues to be the students’ newspaper, whatever the federation executive’s claim. Tuesday, Roberts attempted to repeat hispiracy. Blustering about his “authority as president”, he tried to take a typewriter from the chevron office. When three staff members refused to allow this, and told him to talk to the chevron’s lawyer, Roberts provoked a scuffle. So who is the vandal? Who is the thief? Who is the troublemaker? Clearly, not the chevron staff. Another stench clings to Roberts and .his executive - cor&ption. Just one recent example of this is the appointment of Roberts’ personal friend. Leona Kyrytow, as chairperson of the Board of Publications. Kyrytow’s appointment was highly irregular. There was no effective public advertisement for the opening, and Kyrytow herself said she did not apply for the job, it was offered to her. The messageis out: Roberts looks after his friends, at student expense, like he has looked after his own interests for the past four years. Roberts and his executive have never scrimped on spending students’ money. Look at the money flushed down the drain in the Bullseye. Bullseye editor Doug Thompson has twice failed to come up with cost figures for Bullseye when asked in council. But the total bill will set back students by about $2500. Other federation spending is explained in a chevron article in this issue. Not all details are known, but the broad picture is clear - money is being spent ‘like water on projects the executive considers important. Combined with this free-wheeling spending is gross and arrogant contempt for students, the people who are paying, and paying. From the original locking of the chevron offices -decided upon by six execufederation of students has been run intive members in a secret meeting -the creasingly by a cabal not only divorced from students‘but actually hiding from them. Federation meetings are becoming fortresses against students. Last week federation members were excluded from an executive meeting. . Look at the decisions made by the executive, with only subsequent ratification <by council, after having been confronted by a fait accompli. Bullseye was already one issue old before councillors got the chance to ask questions about it. An editorial \board composed of one councillor and two executive members was set up only after criticism of the arbitrary editing of Bullseye. Even then, only one member of the editorial board -Doug Thompson -knew what was being published. The questionable appointment of Kyrytow is another example of the closed methods now in use. A petition for the recall of Shane Roberts from the presidency began this week, and already is gaining widespread endorsement. The students actively involved in the recall’who are not, in the main, chevron staff out the*petty tyrant-king of the fedmembers - cite several reasons for throwing eration. These reasons centre on Roberts actions - arbitrary feather-bedding and his inaction, especially on vital economic issues for student matters. I Up to this moment, the chevron staff has refrained from demanding Roberts’ recall, even though considerable criticism has been levied against him, criticism ,’ which he has brushed aside. This latest series of ‘attacks on the chevron, led by Roberts, puts a sharp focus on his clear intent. He intends to wipe out the chevron. The chevron staff now recognizes that the defeat of Roberts is necessary to the re-establishment of a free, democratic newspaper funded by the students, through the federation. We will not have a students newspaper which represents a broad section of students, and intends to represent them, until we loosen the stranglehold of Roberts on chevron and the Federation of students. We call for all progressive and democratic students to recal) Shane Roberts by signing and L s working for the recall petition now circulating. Out with Roberts! n ’ the chevron staff A

The Warriors started very slowly and soon found themselves in trouble to a very quick-passing ball club. The continual use of the full court press throughout the game proved to be too much for Waterloo who were making only their second start of the season. . The Ravens led by guards Don Reid and Pat Stoqua were quick to capitalize on the lapses of concentration exhibited by the Warriors and in particular worked especially well against rookie guard Phil Tamburino who showed a tendency to expose the ball when carrying it up court. ~ At the half, the Warriors were trailing 44-36. They then began to play a little more solidly, slowky chipping away the lead. It looked as though the Ravens would pay the price of their pressing defence as four of their top players had four fouls each. . It was at this point that SeymourHadwen began to dominate the court.

stepped on the court to play the Ottawa Gee Gee’s. The Gee Gee’s were outclassed the evening before by Olympic guard Martin Riley and his playmates from the University of Manitoba. ’ Earlier that morning the same Bisons of Manitoba had played Carleton and had disposed of the Ravens without a great deal of trouble. The task ahead of the Warriors then was clear; they had to dispose of Ottawa and in the process retreive at least a semblance of team play, and they had to do it without Mike Visser who suffered a sprained ankle late in the Carleton game* The first half of the game against Ottawa was marked by very tight, very conservative basketball. For the Warriors there were fewer turnovers, fewer foolish plays but, as yet, little in the way of good ball. Pat Brill-Edwards and Doug Vance played well and for Ottawa -guard Rod MacDonald and forwards Bruce Davis and John Godden were effective. However, again the play w-as erratic and inconsistent. What was lacking was that sixth sense of anticipation which marks good team play. As a result the Gee Gee’s took a 34-33 half-time lead to the locker room. In the second half Waterloo

looked like a new team. They quickly moved into a 43-4 1 lead and then exploded for thirteen straight points. The impetus of this new look came from Phil Tamburino, Playing the part of the showman he drew offensive fouls, stole the ball, drove for the basket drawing defensive fouls and- contributed five of the thirteen points. He contributed far more than five points, however; if one can attribute the dramatic change which overcame the Warriors to one player - which in any case is doubtful - then it would seem evident that Tamburino was entitled to such credit. The rest of the Warriors seemed to pick up on his enthusiasm and remarkably they began to dominate both the offensive and defensive boards, and began to hit on their outside shooting. They padded their lead to 15 points and then seemed content to sit upon that. The final score was Waterloo 85, Ottawa 7 1. However;with one game to play the weaknesses of the Warriors seemed evident.

rebounds. Most crushing had been their lack of experience in playing together. Prior to this tournament they had played only one game and that fact had been painfully evident. Against the Bisons they would face a powerful team led by the best backcourt combination in the country and such weaknesses as they had shown would prove fatal. Waterloo faced the Bisons twice last season and in both games stayed close until the final 5 minutes. Saturday’s game followed the same pattern. The Bisons work methodically and they work under the guidance of Martin Riley. He is instrumental to all aspects of their game. Defensively he ‘is outstanding while offensively he seems capable of scoring at will. However, more importantly, he can control the play on the offence and work the ball until one of his teammates can get into position for a good shot. He knows (where his players are strong, where they can score from and he can get the ball to them at the most opportune moment. For the Warriors it was a game of catch-up, and one that they did well. With 2 minutes left in the first half they trailed by ten points but went tothe locker room tied 33-33. But again in the second half they found themselves struggling to catch up. Down by six at one point they tied the game up 5858 with 6:53 remaining. It was at this stage that Martin Riley demonstrated why people were saying that there is some contention as to who the second best guard in Canada is. He personally took control of the game scoring 12 points in the final 6 minutes . Center Grant Watson added 10 and the Bisons coasted to an 83-64 victory. Manitoba were the tournament champions, ’ Carleton placed second with a 2-l record;the Warriors at l-2 were third while winless Ottawa completed the standings. For the Warriors it was not as mournful as it might appear. They steadily improved throughout the tournament and at times they showed the potential they do have. With two weeks of practice and two additional games this weekend at Laurier’s tournament they should be ready to challenge for the top spot at the Naismith to be held here in the PAC the weekend of Nov. 26-27. -ja&b
