OFS- plans fight-against Q

An Ontario Federation of students emergency plenary neeting Saturday called for a halflay moratorium on classes Febuary 10 as part of a campaign to ollback the tuition fee increase set )y the Ontario government. Delegates at the Toronto neeting vQted 2 1-6-1 in favor of demanding a rollback in the tuition ee increases, $100 for university tudents and $75 for college tudents, which are scheduled to ake effect in September. ‘<

The motion also demanded no further increases in tuition for Ontario post-secondary students, who already pay higher tuition fees than students in any other province. The decision to hold moratoriums on individual campuses on February 10 was the only proposal not included in a report issued by the OFS executive outlining a strategy to fight the tuition fee increase. The executive report proposed mass meetings at each school “before the end of February to con-

sider the many options that exist for local action.” The results of the meetings were to be evaluated at the OFS winter conference in Sudbury March 4-6, with a “coordinated yet flexible provincial campaign” to follow. But delegates argued that March was too late for organizational meetings, and counselled the building of student opposition to the fee hike in February before students become weighed down with exams and term papers. But the delegates rejected as unnecessary a motion to hold an

fee hike

emergency plenary as soon as possible after the February 10 moratoriums. Part of the debate Saturday dwelt on the question of whether or not OFS should oppose the tuition fee increase, and whether it could do so successfully. A representative of the University of Toronto part-time undergraduate student association called the tuition fee hike “iniquitous”, and stated that “it accentuates, rather than obliterates the lack of accessibility” to post-secondary education. OFS chairperson Murray Miskin agreed that universal accessibility to post-secondary education is a fundamental goal of OFS, and that the proposed tuition fee increase stands in direct opposition to that goal. For that reason the OFS must fight for a rollback-in the increase, even though students do not know whether or not the protest will succeed. Miskin also replied to some delegates who said that sufficient opposition to the hike could not be organized - because students are resigned to the increase - and that it would be expedient to accept the existing increase in the hope that there would be no more. Miskin warned that the government could continue to raise fees until it reaches the 65 per cent increase proposed in the Henderson Report, issued by the Special Program Review Committee chaired by Maxwell Henderson last year. If OFS did not protest this hike, he argued, the government might

expect the same student complacency when considering future increases. The University of Waterloo was represented by federation councillors Phil Marquis and Ron Hipfner and mathNEWS editor Mike Dillon. Marquis called for students to “get the people of Ontario behind us” because the entire Ontario education system “is going tits up.” A delegate from U of T reprimanded Marquis, saying that if they really wanted to get the people of Ontario - women included behind them, students should clean up their language. The executive report encouraged students to approach community and labor groups, who are also adversely affected by cutbacks in public spending. The report also suggested that each campus set up an “Election Preparedness Committee” so that “the upcoming (provincial) election can be used to good advantage’ ’ . Miskin told the chevron after the plenary that a provincial election is expected this year, although not in the spring, and that “I suspect that a rollback (in the tuition fee increase) will only come with the defeat of the present government.” OFS staff members are preparing a body of research on accessibility, the Henderson report and the tax structure, which they expect to release by the end of the month, in order to aid the protest campaign. -

Though there are a record number of mounts bursting from the gate, there is considerable conjecture about whether all will round the clubhouse turn or some pull up lame in backstretch. the Oddsmakers have yet to pick a favourite, though it is still early in the race, but sources report the heavy betters are working out ways to avoid losing their shirts should the mounts they’ve backed prove incapable of going the distance. Doug Thompson, one of the presidential hopefuls, has jumped into his campaign with both feet. Thompson had posters up on bulletin boards just minutes after the nomination deadline expired. He also plans to conduct a survey of student opinion. The survey would be used to determine the trend in candidate preference. It would be “an extreme emergency” if_ competition between Thompson and Doug Antoine could give Mark Wills a plurality,of votes, Thompson believes. In that case, Thompson would meet with Antoine in the hope that one will drop out, Thompson said. For the moment,‘it’s every candidate for himself/herself.

Feds--get going

A formal request for a CUP commission of inquiry, confusion over the referendum results, and a report on the federation fieldworkers came up at the student council meeting on Sunday night. Council voted to accept a recommendation by acting president . Dave McLellan requesting an in-

vestigation by the Canadian University Press of the chevronfederation dispute. McLellan also announced that he plans to “ask” free chevron editor Larry Hannant to see that staff remove all personal belongings from the chevron offices. “It is clear from the referen-

Visa fee hike

TORONTO (CUP) - Seven of Ontarip’s 15 publically-funded universities refused to implement a tripled tuition fee for visa students effective this month, despite the withdrawal of a provincial government subsidy of about $1000 per student. The governing boards of Laurentian university in Sudbury and Carleton University in Ottawa both rejected fees which cost new visa students $1500 for a two-term university year, while the senates of Brock, McMaster, and York have recommended their governing boards not implement the hike. A subcommittee of the University of Toronto’s governing council recommended the council reject the fee hike “as a matter of principie”. Other Ontario universities have

If you’re in trouble with any aspect of the law - or just have questions about legal matters - then you might want to get in contact with Para Legal Assistance. Para Legal is a federation service concerned with helping students cope with the law. It is operated on a strictly volunteer basis and is open td all students on campus. Chris Wheller, President of Para Legal, says the organization is mostly a “non professional referral service” dealing with procedural matters and advice. “We don’t give legal advice,” he explained, due to the non expert status of the group. The majbrity of cases Para Legal deals with are concerned with the Landlord-Tenant Act. Students ask about subletting, breaking leases and the rights of the tenant. Other subjects of concern involve: how to beat a traffic ticket, the Food and Drug Act, tile Liquor Control Act, divorce, the rights of police to search and how to take a person to small claims court. There have been few dealings with criminal matters. Through repetition of cases, the staff becomes “pretty proficient” in its dealings, says Marilyn Carr. Staff have various reference sources supplied and also have access to lawyer’s advice. If a case is beyond their scope th2y will refer to a lawyer. The vpjunteers in Para Legal which include Lorne Gershuny, Ron Marr, Marilyn Carr, Nikki Carter and Chris Wheller are interested in law and have done a fair bit of reading on it. No experience is required to be a staff volunteer and a short training session is provided., Para Legal is described by its staff as a good place for legal problems - far better than “going to a friend.” Staff will .give non legal advice, some common sense and some direction. Their office (beside the turnkeys desk in the Campus Centre) is open Monday, to Thursday from 1:30 to 4:OOpm. -randy

agreed to implement the hike, but UW’s senate may reconsider the question. Wilfrid Laurier University implemented the hike after the senate refused a student bid to reconsider its decision, but will work within the Council of ‘Ontario Universities (COU) to effect modifications to the govertimentinitiated fee increase. The COU, often called the “presidents’ club”, consists of the 15 university presidents and their designates. While this body will be seeking “modifications” to the tuition fee hike, there is no plan to oppose it outright. One such modification would be to establish a definition of what is a “new”, visa student, since the hike applies to students not registered in an Ontario post-secondary institution prior to Jan. 1, 1977. The COU does not have a great track record of opposing tuition hikes. During the past two years, a COU subcommittee has recommended general tuition fee increases of 25 and 10 per cent as a means of increasing revenue to universities in the face of reduced operating grants from the provincial government.

Students

dum,” McLellan declared, “that students on this campus don’t want reinstatement.” McLellan was referring to question 7 of the referendum, which read: “Should the Chevron be reinstated as it was September 24; with Neil Docherty as Production Manager and Henry Hess as News Editor (both salaried pdsitions); and back-pay be given to these individuals for the period when the Chevron was not publishing; and outstanding bills of the “free chevron” be paid by the Federation of Students?” An overwhelming majority of the 2600 students who voted on the referendum checked “no”. Supporters of the free chevron,however, had complied with the “Boycott the Referendum” campaign because the referendum did not represent the free chevron’s view. The free chevron calls for reinstatement and investigation. McLellan said that in addition to the CUP investigation - shquld CUP agree to conduct one - work will also be done setting up a new

by-law to supplant the existing one pertaining to the Board of Publications and the chevron. At least two by-law proposals pertaining to the chevron were drawn up by McLellan and by former federation president Shane Roberts: Both would set up an editorial.board to control the content of the paper-a contravention of CUP principles. Roberts’ by-law proposal was defeated at the October’29 General Meeting. Also discussed Sunday night was the Chief Returning Officer’s report on the referendum results. As CR0 Gary Prudence made his report, it became clear that there is still confusion regarding the results of the referendum. The answers to questions 3 and 4 would, in effect, have two separate bodies control the student-funded newspaper: “Student Council or a body appointed by council and answerable to it” would publish the newspaper, while “a body separate from Student Council but controlled by students by direct election” would have editorial control.

lobby

In many cases, the universities’ decisions to oppose or defer the visa student tuition‘ hike was the result of the lobbying efforts of students’ groups. The Laurentian senate’s decision came after the local International Student Organization successfully (ISO) petitioned against the increase. Student governors at U of T drafted and argued for a motion opposing the fee hike and asking Parrott to reconsider his decision. The Carleton governing board made its decision following senate approval of a presentation from the student union, Dec. 16. In a brief to the senate the Carleton student union (CUSA) noted that until 1968, Canadian students studying abroad outnumbered visa students in Canada and that in 1973, 15 per cent of Canadian PhD candidates obtained doctorates outside *the country. The Laurentian IS0 head criticized the Ontario Federation of Students (OFS) for being “unconcerned” about the issue at a speaking engagement at ‘UW Nov. 18.

Following the reading of the report, there was considerable debate on interpretation of the referendum results. Free chevron staffer Tom Cody posed several questions regarding the mail-out ballots. There have been reports of irregularities because the protective mail-out (two envelope) technique was not followed. In other council busineys, the Committee to Review Temporary Staff presented a report on the federation fieldworkers and the Radio Waterloo co-Qrdinator. Arts councillor Donna Rogers and ES councillor Heather Robertson reported that their yeview of the fieldworkers Showed deep problems created by the federation’s own “lack of direction.” Interviews with the three parttime fieldworkers and the full-time researcher-planner indicated that the absence of a mandate or portfolio leads to confusion on their part. “The fieldworkers have no direction,” declared Rogers, “because the federation has none.” The two councillors recommended that, in view of the existing problems, the position of the fieldworkers be terminated when the present council’s term ends on February 28. The next council would then hold a plenary session to discuss the direction the federation should take, as well as the functions and mandate of fieldworkers. Rogers and Robertson also put forward three recommendations regarding the position of RadWat Administrative co-ordinator (currently held by Dave Assmann), which they deemed “the only job where the circumstances were really satisfactory.” The recommendations are that signing authority be given to the co-ordinator, that the position of administrative co-ordinator be made permanent, and that a person be hired for administrative and secretarial duties on a part-time basis. -vaI

Fee discriminatory At t-he same session Wilfrid Laurier ‘University’s International Student Association head Ben Garcia told students the differential fee “clearly discriminates between wealthy and non-wealthy foreign students”. The Ontario differential fee hike was first announced last May by. minister of colleges and universities Harry Parrott; who claimed “mounting public pressure” as his justification. Critics of the fee hike have pointed out that Parrott has never provided adequate proof of public pressure, ‘while he has admitted the hike would save the Ontario government about $6 million yearly which amounts to 0.6 per cent of the ministry’s budget.

The federation of students has decided to fight tuition fee increases and cutbacks. Sunday night, council adopted a motion that read: “That the federation of students at UW take a stand against the tuition fee increase and the cutbacks on campuses in Ontario by implementing their own plan and also following the suggestions brought up by the OFS emergency plenary, January 15, 1977.” The motion was introduced by Phil Marquis, HKLS rep who went to the OFS emergency plenary held in Toronto on behalf of the federation. Heather Robertson, ES rep,

complained that Marquis’ motion lacked substance and discussion. should be reopene,d in order to formulate a plan forcouncil to follow. Larry Hannant, grad rep; argued that the first step in organizing students against cutbacks was to launch a program to educate students about tuition increases and cutbacks. Hannant went on to Say that the free chevron had already started an education campaign and moved that council reinstate the chevron as it was on September 24th so that council and the chevron may together help students fight tuition increases and cutbacks. \ Hannant’s motion was ruled di-.

latory by speaker Robert White. Robertson moved that the OFS report from the emergency plenary be passed out to all of the councillors and a meeting of all-interested councillors and students be held as soon as possible to start organizing students against tuition increases and cutbacks. Mike Dillon and Hannant volunteered to be in charge of establishing a meeting time and putting up posters advertising the meeting. The meeting, open to students and faculty, is scheduled for Wednesday, January 26th in the Campus Center Room 113 at 3pm. -

Jacques Roy appeared at UW for the third time on Tuesday to promote Angola’s Soviet and Cubanbacked MPLA (Popular Movement) government. Roy, an electronics engineer from Quebec who has volunteered technical services to the MPLA since 1968, was invited by the Federation’s board of Education to talk on the Angolan situation. Said Roy: “Angola would have had an economically independent, viable society had the MPLA been allowed to lead the country.” Since its inception in 1961, MPLA has been active in health and literacy campaigns, Roy maintained. Centers of revolutionary instruction -for the mass struggle against the Portugese colonialists - were also set up around the country. Agricultural self-sufficiency was always emphasized in areas controlled by the MPLA, said Roy. The Organization of Angolan Women was also established “SO women could take part in all facets of the struggle.” In 1966 UNITA was formed. It was the only liberation organization to establish permanent headquarters inside Angola and to adopt the line of surrounding the cities from the countryside. The FNLA (National Front) was formed and led by Holden Roberto, a man widely regarded as corrupt

RadWat to get FM .

Following its initial request in October, Radio Waterloo has been granted $5,000 from student funds to purchase an FM transmitter. Since October the request has gone from the student council to the treasury committee where its merits were examined. It was resubmitted to council, and then tabled, just ‘before the Christmas break. Finally council has passed the request. Although the FM transmitter will allow RadWat to broadcast over the airwaves, they won’t be able to do so until September, according to Rad Wat co-ordinator Dave Assman. The/license granted by the government is being processed now and won’t be ready until then. At the moment, only those people with cable can pick up the station. The change won’t affect programming, says Assman, but it will

make the programming available to a wider audience. Council also approved a request for $1,600 from the Birth Control Centre. The funds will be used to continue the position of paid coordinator begun last term. The Centre has been operating for 10 years and has a well known and widely respected reputation. Four years ago the Federation funding, for the Centre was $4,000. Since then it has been only $1,200. Council felt that the additional funds were justified: Another 10 year old organization, the infamous Warrior Band, was also granted additional funds in the order of $300. The money will be used to expand the brass and percussion sections of this spirited group. It might be wise to wear earmuffs to the next Warrior game. A request for $850 was also made to council in order to purchase more equipment for the Engineering Garage. The garage, which was initially set up by a grant of $5,000 from the Federation, is open to any and all students. It is located right. beside the Bower Warehouse on the north campus. At the moment, the garage has only an axle jack, an oil pan and some axle stands. If the extra funds are granted by the treasury committee, which is looking further into the request, an air compressor and other pieces of equipment will be purchased.

Meanwhile, a fierce struggle for power had ensued between the three groups. Roy asserted that the FNLA had “serious contacts” with the South African army and the Zaire army. He denounced the UNITAFNLA alignment, which established a rival administration to the MPLA after the latter had rejected a call to form a coalition government. The MPLA’s decision not to coalesce, Roy maintained, was made mainly because the Daniel Chipenda faction had infiltrated the MPLA to undermine it and to assasinate its leader, Agostinho Neto. Roy called Chipenda “a front man” for Holden Roberto (FNI ,A leader) and- Jonas Savimbi. Both Savimbi and Chipenda are from the Ovimbundu tribe. Roy also claimed that Savimbi is a “tribalist” and Roberto a racist. A two-pronged approach by UNITA and FNLA for a final assault on MPLA “made it clear that MPLA could not conduct the struggle on its own.” FNLA was bringing in mercenaries through Zaire on the north, and South African troops

Residence fees Ijet hefty boost Rents for student residences are the next item slated for increase. On May 1 the rent for married students will be rising, and on September 1, fees for the Villages and Minota Hagey are going up. The board of governors executive committee was presented with the increases Tuesday, and passed the increases on to its February 1 meeting for ratification. Increases range from 5.4 per cent for Minota Hagey to 13 8 for certain apartments in married students. The rates in the Villages will increase 7.8 per cent for single

and interconnecting rooms and double rooms will go up 7.7 per cent. All increases are based on a four month lease. In married students, rates will be zooming up 13.8 per cent for -a twelve month lease, 13.4 for an eight month lease, and 13.0 on a four month lease. The increase will leave rents at $190 per month for a year, $195 per month for eight months, and $200 per month for four months. In the figures given to the BOG executive also show that the budget for the Villages in 1977-78 will be $4.4 million. The Villages are expetted to run a $100,000 deficit next year, but the profit made on summer conferences mav cover that amount. The surplus of Minota Hagey is expected to drop from over $3,500 this year to just over $100 next year. The married students apartments are currently being budgeted for a surplus of close to $45,000 for next year, while currently running a deficit of $21,000. d

had already infiltrated Angola from the south. It wa; at this point, Roy asserted, that MPLA brought in thousands of Cuban soldiers to assist in the war against FNLA, UNITA, the mercenaries and the South Africans. Opposition to Roy’s line came from’ the pro-UNITA AIA (AntiImperialist Alliance), which distributed a six-page leaflet denouncing Roy as an agent of Soviet social-imperialism and demanding the withdrawal of Soviet and Cuban troops from Angola. The leaflet exposes the “international slander campaign:’ against UNITA. AIA member Salah Bachir pointed out that Radio Moscow continuously changed its line on. the two liberation movements. In 1972 they called Roberto a CIA agent, while several years later called him a “patriot”. * Several people in the audience contested Roy’s remarks and, indeed, his whole line. One student pointed out that although there are no longer South African armored columns in southern Africa, Cuban troops remain there killing UNITA soldiers and supporters. “Why,” he demanded, “are foreign troops fighting Angolans?” He also contested Roy’s charges that UNITA had ties with the South African army, and challenged him to prove it. “Even if South Africans were inside Angola,” he declared, “the leadership had no right to allow a foreign invasion. ’ ’ Another student noted that Roy talked of UNITA and FNLA “as if they were the same organization.” He added: “I believe in people liberating themselves using their own resources.” Roy was also challenged to substantiate his charge that UNITA wants political domination of Angola by the Ovimbundu tribe. One person in the audience asserted that after the transitional government period, UNITA had gained the support of about 50 per cent of Angola, and that had elections taken place as scheduled, UNITA would have become the government. “The fact is,” he concluded, “the Soviet Union wanted a foothold in Africa, and now Angola had become Cuba’s Vietnam.” In an interview following his talk, Roy maintained that the present struggle in Angola is merely “sporadic fighting”. He called the situation in Angola “normal” and pointed out that the Benguela Railway is still operating. Asked what other things the Cubans were now doing in Angola, Roy replied: “They are -also training the Angolan army, and starting up sugar and coffee plantations.” -val

Council calls for G referendum Student council has recommen‘ded to UW’s Board of Governors that a student referendum be held on the question of a fee increase for the Ontario Public Interest Research Group (OPIRG). OPIRG co-ordinator, Eugene Beuthien approached the board of governors in October requesting an increase to $4 from the present $3 fee. The fee, said Beuthien, ha; remained at $3 since the establishment of OPIRG in 1974. The Board of Governors, before

’

making a decision, wanted to canvass student opinion and so asked the student council to recommend a course of action. The referendum was suggested in order to ensure OPIRG’s autonomy. Beuthien -doesn’t feel that a referendum is a good solution because it is ‘B “time consuming and expensive process”. He also feels that student council’s recommendation to hold a. referendum contradicts its autonomy. -

The fight 1 I+ I

isn

ver yet

The plan to build a bridge over, the most scenic part of the Elora Gorge has far to go before it is approved. GORGE, (Group Organized to Retain the Gorge for Everybody), which led the fight up until 1974, has reorganized and is making new plans to fight the project.

parcel ofland to the County of Wellington. The land is situated at one end of their Elora Gorge Park and was needed for the road right-ofway. Although the county could have used expropriation powers to take the land, it is generally conceded that the authority had a good case and could have prevented it.

History The issue was first raised ten years ago when rumours about the bridge circulated in the Elora area. In 1969, Wellington County Council first approved the idea of an Elora by-pass, which was considered necessary by everyone because of traffic conditions. In 1970, a “Pre-feasibility Study” and a “Functional Planning Report” were commissioned. They recommended that the most direct route for ‘a by-pass should be followed, - that is, County Road 7 should be extended across the, gorge to connect at Salem. There are very serious disagreements with the traffic data used for this finding, but the county has continually refused to do a new and traffic study. comprehensive GORGE has tried to show in the past that a western by-pass of Elora is not the solution to the village’s traffic problems. The major fight in the early seventies was over the necessity of such a bridge, based on obviously incomplete data. Alternatives to the gorge route were never seriously studied and, in fact, .were dismissed in the “Pre-feasibility Report” as being probably of greater cost. (Elora Reeve Art Hoffer has recently claimed that alternative routes were studied in detail.) ,Opponents to the bridge have contended all along that the county is not looking at all the costs involved in such a project. The County of Wellington has, from the beginning; considered only the financial cost. Never has any effective study been done on the environmental and aesthetic degradation whit h will undoubtedly occur. In 1974, the issue became a legal one when the Grand River Conservation Authority voted to transfer a

Court action However, the GRCA did not choose to delay the county in their plans for the bridge. The two dissenting members in the vote, Mat Makarchuk and Morley Rosenberg, (now mayor of Kitchener), took the GRCA to court over their action. Their case was based on Section 18, (Objectives), of “The Conservation

Authorities

Act”

which sets up an authority, “to establish and undertake, . . . , a program designed to further the conservation, restoration, development and management of natural resources,. . .“. Since bridge building does not fall under the objectives of the GRCA, the two men felt that they had no legal right to transfer the land. In July ofl975, tire Ontario Supreme Court ruled that since Makarchuk and Rosenberg had no economic or pecuniary interest in the case, they could not be granted standing. In other words, they had no right to challenge the authority’s decision. This decision was upheld in March of 1976 by the Ontario Court of Appeals and in October of 1976 by the Supreme Court of Canada.

The Elora Gorge

Dangerous precedent The court decision sets a very dangerous precedent for the citizens of Ontario. As far as the law is concerned, a citizen may not use the courts to stop what they consider to be an illegal action by a government agency. That is the perogative of the attorney general. The courts also awarded costs against the two plaintiffs and the GRCA and the County of Wellington have subsequently claimed an amount over $20,000. Close to this amount, has been raised across the country to pay this debt. UW students made a substantial con-

(As it is now,

The Situation Today At the present time, the situation looks a little better. The County of Wellington has to obtain an amendment to their official plan in order to build the bridge and the Minister of Natural Resources still has to approve the GRCA’s transfer of land. At a meeting December 8,1976 in Waterloo, GORGE decided to request the Ontario Government to refer the issue to either the Ontario Municipal Board for a full public

trative studies students. When political science goes co-op - which could occur within the next two academic years - the adminstrative studies program will be particularly beneficial, claimed Kersell. The history of UW is a history of integrating the classroom with the direct experience of a job. The idea of applying learning during the course of education is a good one. But the trend is more narrow training - fewer “frills” and more specialization. This is a big change from the old idea of a broad, liberal education. Kersell agreed that the adminstrative studies program (and other like it) serve the specific needs of employers more and educate the person less. “That’s the nature of our system,” he said. “But it can be changed.” There should be an extra levy on corporations for educational purposes, he said. Employers are the great beneficiaries of education,

hearing or to the Environmental Assessment Board for a full environmental assessment. On December 17th, the Minister of Housing officially referred the matter to the .OMB and a hearing is anticipated fairly soon. In the meantime, GORGE will attempt to re-open a long-forgotten dialogue with the citizens of Elora, feeling that Elora residents have been snowed by Reeve Art Hoffer over the bridge and possible alternatives. In the December 22nd issue of the Fergus News-Herald, the reeve, while blasting the opponents to the bridge, is quoted as saying that alternative routes hae been studied in

detail and that all proved to be too costly. GORGE feels that many Elora residents would oppose the bridge over the gorge if they were allowed to see past the reeve’s myopia. All opponents to the bridge recognize that the people of Elora have a serious traffic problem and in no way wish to prevent its ultimate alleviation. However, the Elora Gorge is a magnificent piece of Ontario’s natural heritage which must be! protected. GORGE’ intends to appeal to Elora’s residents on that basis.

and they should be made to pay a greater share of the tab. Employers will also be benefitting from the implementation of the economics department’s “registered industrial accountant” program. The new program will be offerred on the co-op system. Economics and English are the only Arts departments with a co-op program. Students in the RIA program will take enough accounting-related subjects to qualify -upon completion of their honours BA degree for examination and certification by the Society of Industrial Accountants of Ontario. On their work terms, RIA students will be required to take some courses administered by the Society. The RIA program will stress the generation of accounting information that particularly relates to the needs of management. Financial reporting will also be emphasized, as will cost-benefit analysis. Subjects will include financial

accounting, managerial accounting, finance, organizational behaviour, quantitative m.ethods, microeconomics, macroeconomics taxation and commercial law. Approval of the geotechnical option in earth sciences means a new co-op program with more engineering courses and fewer math and sciences courses than in the regular program. Civil engineering’s construction program is a non-technical one that emphasizes management. Most of the students are graduate engineers. The new administrator is Hugh Clark, former president of the Adam Clark Company Limited, Hamilton. The program will be taught mainly by people from the construction industry. Courses will cover construction planning, management in construction, construction methods and equipment management, construction law, finance and accounting, and labour relations.

The referendum intended to kill the chevron could just end up tangling the federation -i n knots. An analysis of the question” by-questidn results of the referendum proves correct the chevron’s original criticism of the referendum. Let’s look at the results: In questions number one and two, students voted overwhelmingly for a student newspaper on campus, and a majority favored membership of that newspaper in the Canadian University Press. Support for CUP contradicts answers to a number of other questions and contradicts the referendum itself. The CUP Statement of Principles of the Student Press in Canada states that “the Canadian student press should be free from pressure , univerby student governments sity authoritis, or any other external agencies, whether or not the press is a part of such an organization . ..” a To be a member

of CUP means

to adhere to CUP principles, which are clearly intended to build a wa’tchdog, inyestigative press, not a captive press held under the thumb of, or subject to the interference of, student government. But the answer given by a plurality of participants to question number three allows the federation council to use its newly-defined “publishing” rights to hire and fire staff and set rules by which staff operates. This is not just a violation of CUP principles, it is also a reversal of the consistent trend of virtually all member newspapers in CUP, the chevron included. That trend is toward control over such functions by the staff itself. Furthermore, the dominant answer to question number four, which would set up an editorial board of elected students to oversee the newspaper, also contradicts both CUP principles and the traditional-rights of newspaper staffs. The CUP principles clearly excnot only from-the lude “pressure”, student * government and the uni-

versity adminstration, but also from “any other external agencies, whether or not the’press is a part of such an organization. ” Under the existing chevron bylaw, the editor has editorial control. But by long-established practice, the staff democratically decides editorial policy. This tradition has been fought for and won over the course of a number of years of student journalism. A new bylaw which contradicts the staff’s democratic control of the newspaper will be no more effective than the old bylaw which seeks to have editorial policy arbitrarily set by one person. The dominant answer’ to question number five determines that only students paying fees to the federation can be voting newspaper staff members. Is this not also interference in the running of the interference imposed newspaper, from outside the newspaper itself, in this case by the federation executive under the cover of a referendum? There is still more. What kind of newspaper is it that would adhere to the CUP principles? It is the chevron, reinstated as it was on September 24, 1976. But the response of the majority of those who voted on question number seven \ was against reinstatement. It is simply ludicrous to try to establish a student newspaper to follow CUP principles after a newspaper which did and does adhere to those CUP principles was shut down by the federation council in an arbitrary and undemocratic way. That is nothing but a mockery of CUP principles.

Fifteen to sixteen school associations will be invited to an afternoon conference to discuss cutbacks in education and other areas of mutual concern. Pajkowsi felt that grads should deal with the Ontario government on a united, rather than on an individual basis. This conference ,was seen as a continuation of the discussion initiated at ti gathering at York University last June of grad assodiations from seven universities. Pajkowski notes that there was an Ontario Graduate Student Association in existence but it has been inoperative for a number of years. He hopes this structure can be resurrected.

not binding

Brian Iler, a former UW student federation president, and now a practicing lawyer Iin Toronto, was asked for his legal opinion on the “binding” nature of the student newspaper referendum. ‘His statement reads in part: “Section 130 (1) of The Corporations Act, R.S.O. 1970, Chapter 89, restricts the type of by-laws which the directors of a corporation may pass to those not contrary to The Corporations Act. Section 3 13 (1) of the same act provides that the affairs of every corporation shall be managed by a Board of Directors. These two sections, when read together establish the principal directors of the corporation may not deprive themselves of the right of control and management of the corporation by passing by-laws which fetter that right. Any action of the directors which would so restrict their powers and duties is

beyond the scope of their power and therefore has ho effect in the law. In other words, By-Laws 6 and 22, which purport to be “binding’” ‘on the Federation of Students, have no such effect because it is beyond the authority of the directors to fetter their powers ,by enacting such by-laws. So Iler concludes: “That aspect of the by-laws then, is ultra vires, or in ordinary language, beyond the powers of the corporatioti, and would be quashed in court”. In talking with Iler he said he was somewhat perplexed by the wording of the referendum itself. He saw many of the questions as “conflicting with each other” and asked “how do you have a ‘you may choose ‘more than one answer’ question on a referendum?” He was also concerned with the one-sided nature of the question. -tom

Want to know how not to run a referendum? Follow the federation of students example. First, break a bylaw here and there. Allow the president to acknowledge tha_t,by mailing out ballots to co-op students, the polls for the referendum are effectively open. Don’t bother to pay soy attention to Bylaw 22, which requires advertising and an informational general mekting before the polls open. Next, neglect to take an exact count of the ballots posted. Prior to the day of the referendum, I thought 2,000 ballots were mailed out. But Qn that fateful day of January 13, J found there were 2,600 ballots. And I’m not sure even that number is exact! And don’t bother to have an official initial the ballots before they’re mailed. Just because the polling clerk is required to do it the day of on-campus voting doesn’t mean the federation should go out of its way to do the same for the mail-out ballot, does it? Having done this, don’t ,bother to number either the ballots or one of the two return envelopes in which’ the ballot is returned.. As noted in the January 11 special issue of the free chevron, there is a simple way of recording ID numbers from the mailed-out ballots and still preserving secrecy. It’s called the two-envelope SYs,tem. The voter is sent two envelopes, one to return the ballot in, the other to carry the signature and ID number of the voter to indicate that he/she voted. , One envelope is put inside the other and they’re returned together. But this system isn’t used in presidential elections, so why should it be used when the life of the ,free chevron is the issue at stake? Maybe the fed hacks never heard

of such a fool-proof methoG of recording off-cAmpus utes. But some of them are such idiots they might even ruin that. And, if that weren’t enough to discredit the whole mess, the feds allowed the off-campus ballot<s to be returned through on-campus mail. So the envelopes aren’t dated and can’t be traced to their point of mailing. Much easier to tamper with, you see. After all, suspicion might be aroused if 100 off-campus bailots came from Sarnia when only three c-o-op students live or work there. Don’t think this campus mail vote was insignificant. More than 185 of the 900 ballots returned through envelopes were mailed on campus and cannot be traced. I’m now trying to figure out why so many of these ballots were mailed from the campus when they were sent to the co-op students’ home addreses around Christmas time. I’ll let you know what I coine up with. So what’s the point? Well, if’this type of procedure was followed for mail-out ,ballots in say, provincial or federal elections, the result would be considered a joke. But the federation president and some councillors claim to have a clear mandate from a fraudulent referendum conducted in the same manne’r! It seems to me the federation hacks had better clean up their act, now, before the presidential and council elections. The mail-out ballots must be subject to protective techniques in much the same way that the on-campus ballots are now protected. Off campus votes make, up such a large proportion of potential votes that they must not be subject to tampering. That’s what honest elections and referendums are all about, right?

Federation president Dave McLellan claimed in a Gazettearticle Wednesday that the referendum indicated students’ “confidence in the way students’ council has and their .rejection of the acted,” chevron. McLellan also claims that the referendum turnout was “pretty high for the federation. ” These assertions are based on the flimsiest of statistical evidence - indeed, on outright errors - to say nothing of the blatant disregard for the fact that the chevron waged a campaign to ha’ve students boycott-the whole mess. For months, the chevron has been waging a .battle for survival. In the process of that struggle, the chevron has distinguished itself from its detractors in many ways. But the main difference in method of work can be summed up with the phrase “study and investigate.” Where other newspapers, bulletins and newsletters have relied on rumour, allegation and uninvestigated assertion, the chevron has investigated thoroughly and proved its case to the students by convincing argument. The January 13 referendum is the latest case in point. Basing itself on inves&igation, the chevron here dares to contradict the prevailing notions that the referendum demonstrates student opposit,ion to the chevron. First to establish the success of

QUESTION

Pmrcmntmgm

I am very concerned over the fact that the Federation has &ken no actidn in the recent pub conflict. With both the, manager and assistant leaving within a month of each other, I can only call this VERY strange. Because of this irregularity I recommend that the feds take arbitrary and undemocratic action. First they can close down the pub, base the decision on rumours and allegations, screw around for a couple months, five or six, perhaps set up another one in the fed office’s and then after building up a deficit over $l.O,OOO ‘they can hold a half-ass referendum with questions like; do you want to drink ginger-ale or nothing, yes or yes. Hopefully while all this is going on, some students will occupy the pub and keep the beer flowing, just like the free chevron has kept putting out a great student newspaper. Keep up the great work.

RESULTS

this referendum, there must be some standard against which to measure the results. To assert that the referendum turnout was “high” is to ‘speak drivel. “High” cbmpared to what? The chevron has compared the referendum results with the January 1976 presidential election and with the National Union of Students referendum which coincided with the presidential election. The voter response to the 1976 presidential election was approximately equal to the turnout over the past ten presidential elections surveyed by the chevron. In January 1976, 24.8 per cent of the students. voted. The ten-year average of 1967-76 was a 24.1 per cent voter turnout. The following statistics compare the 1976 election, and the NUS referendum, to the January 13, 1977 referendum on the student newspaper. The figures work from an electorial base of 14,872 students, including all full-time graduate and undergraduate students. That base is roughly equal for all three votes. Looking at the total turnout, the results show that 18.1 per cent of the eligible students voted in the referendum. The voters on campus, who would have been most influenced by the chevron’s stand for Reinstate! Investigate!, remained away from-the polls. Only 14.5 per cent voted. On the other hand, the offcampus voters participated exceedingly heavily. The off-campus balloting was

one of the points of sharpest controversy during the boycott campaign waged by the chevron. Those were the ballots which could not be accurately accounted for, as a comment by Tom Cody elsewhere in this chevron issue points out. The vote from the recent referendum is also low compared with the NUS referendum, which was a question much less immediate and controversial than the chevron issue. Consider the objective situation: The federation is thrown ‘into complete turmoil after the antidemocratic and arbitrary closure of the chevron; a president is recalled; two people are unceremoniously fired: legal charges are laid; a federation executive member is convicted of throwing a rock through the chevron window.. .. After all this, the federation of students cannot muster more than 18 per cent of all students to a referendum which is supposed to bring the final solution to the conflict!. ’ At the same time, virtually every other election and referendum held over the past ten years gains a higher proportion of voters than the student newspaper referendum. How can this happen? Simply because the chevron called for students to boycott that one-sided, stacked referendum. Yet the federation president blindly insists that the referendum vindicates the federation council and defeats the chevron’s position! And every news source - except the chevron - simply echoes this prejudice! - larry hannant

T.O.. dance theatre

Choreography in motion The capacity audience at the Humanities Theater last Friday night were treated to a two hour program composed of five pieces offered in three well-balanced act& Three light-hearted pieces were choreographed by Danny Grossman of the Toronto Dance Theatre while two more sedate compositions were created by Peter Randazzo. ‘A Flight of Spiral Stairs’, one of Randazzo’sdances, opened the program. With only the title as a guideline, the audience has to use the movement as reference points to determine the theme of the dance or to comprehend any message which may be present. The male dancer involved started and finished on a set of spiral stairs but no other hint was given to the aim of the work. The movements were pleasant to watch but were repetitive and fragmented. Each dancer moved alone for the most part and had very little interaction with any other dancer. On the whole, the .work left the audience at loose ends, craving some kind of evi-

dence to warrant putting an interpretation on the piece. Some of the many facets of love were illustrated in ‘The Amber Garden’. The story showed a young love, a destructive love, a faithless love and its consequencses. The movements were strong, clear and distinct. Randazzo’s intentions were well defined in this piece. The company’s training in the Martha Graham style was obvious in both Randazzo’s c’horeography and the dancer’s technique. Danny Grossman’s ‘Fratelli’, began as a game of “peek-a-boo” between the audience and the two male dancers. They poked various body parts out from behind four brightly painted flats which were arranged in a square. Gradually, it turned into a rendition of all the typical moves of the ‘Keystone Cops’ routines used in the silent movies of the twenties. The entire piece moved quickly, lightly, and energetically. It resembled two small boys frolicking, competing, rivalling, loving, sharing and outdoing each other.

Klaa tu

Canadian sound Out of Toronto, a new music representative has emerged’ through the maginot line of the music world. Last August a group of musicians, who call themselves Klaatu, released their first album to the record stands hoping to be discovered. The. album, entitled Klaatu, is comprised of four tracks per side commencing with “Calling Occupants of Interplanetary Craft” on side one. This song is “The Reorganized Anthem of World Contact Day” ; an excellent melody of pure clean vocals mixed with an array of instruments including the Mellotron (a modern musical instrument used by such groups as the Beatles, King Crimson, and Genesis). The final track on side one, “Sub Rosa Subway”, has a remarkable resemblance to the McCartney sound and is a song about the skepticism concerning Alfred Beach’s ‘ Wind-mat hine’ in 1870. “Califorof Uranus” nia Jam” and “Anus (who’s a friend of theirs) are the other cuts on side one. Side two begins with “True Life Her” and “Doctor Marvelle” both depictingKlaatu’s artistic consistency. In the next track Klaatu presents “Sir Bodsworth Rugglesby III”, a three act ballad about a man (Sir Bodsworth) who insists that he

will be “the only man who’ll ever get to Hell and come back alive”. In this song however, Klaatu varies their vocal presentation and sings it in an interesting, gruff type of voice resulting in a very entertaining story. In the final cut “Little Neutrino’, Klaatu again modifies their vocals and introduces what appears to be an electronic microphone that produces somewhat of an electronic voice. This sound compliments the atmosphere produced by the scientific “Neutrino” (a hypothetical neutral partical of smaller mass than the neutron). This debut album by Klaatu shines with excellent artistry and recording ability; but with a twist. The members of Klaatu desire full attention be given to their music, so their names and other personal information have been kept off the album. This album will soon be followed by a second, and then perhaps Klaatu’s musicians will reveal themselves. For now though, Klaatu has an album ranking with the best - distributed by CRT (9216-10054) - few record stores have the original stock of this album remaining. Klaatu, a new sound with the Canadian appeal. -Scott

The ‘Couples Suite’ was composed of three parts; Couples, Inching, and the Back Dance. The music was hot exotic African rhythms. Grossman used the dancer’s bodies ingeniously, to treat innovative movement in all three sections. Inching was a study of human bodies and different ways in which they can fit together. In Inching, two dancers slithered along the floor and met at center stage. The two dancers then ‘inched’ their way along each others’ bodies and eventually parted to other areas of the stage. ‘National Spirit’ concluded the performances .-Dancers clad in red, white and blue, performing calisthenics, running patterns, marching and push-ups to a variety of American national anthems was a humourous look at patriotism. This work brought open laughter from many audience members. Susan Macpherson, a very tall, statuesque dancer made an outstanding contribution. The extension of her legs and fluidity of her body was unmatched by any other dancer in the company. As the program stated, the ‘Toronto Dance Theater was a ‘professional attraction’. The dancers, choreographers and stage crew presented a high quality performance which left the audience satisfied but ready to come back for more. -cindy

Chekhov amuses YOU should keep your eyes open for the drama productions showing around on campus. They come and go so quickly that they’re gone even before you hear about them. This week there were free noonhour productions in the Humanities Theatre of Anton .Chekhov’s “The Bear” and “The #’ Proposal’ ’ . “The Proposal” is a short comedy about Lomov (Terrence Bryant) who comes to the house of Ania Anuka (Grace Newton) to ask for her daughter’s hand in marriage (Natalylia Stepanovna, played by Sandy Cowan). He stutters and trembles and suffers from “palpitations”. Ania assumes he has come to ask her for money, but is delighted when she discovers his true purpose in coming. Lomov has a disastrous tete-atete .with Natalylia resulting in an

“Silver streak” appears familiar “The Silver Streak” is a wild, crazy cops-and-robbers film with enough inane situations scattered among the routine muggings, murders and kidnappings to make it entertaining. , Gene Wilder plays the central character in this frolic, a publisher who admits he is better at editing gardening books than sex manuals. He stumbles onto Jill Clayburgh, who is undressing in the next compartment. The train they are travelling on is the Silver Streak, a Los Angeles-to-Chicago sleeper. She is an extraordinarily friendly secretary who can’t type or take’ shorthand. Together, they become involved in an elaborate scheme where the bad guys, led by Patrick McGoohan, pursue them for some important papers. As the plot thickens, we get the> typical movie scenes: the chase on top of the moving train, the shootout where a million cops take on the three villains, the dumb small-town sheriff, and even a city slicker milking a cow. This unlikely situation ar>ses when Wilder is thrown off the train for the first time. It is hard not to laugh as he stands on the tracks, watching the Silver Streak wind its way into the distance. By an incredible series of escapades, he always manages to get back on the train somewhere down the line. Along the way, Kichard Yryor joins the good guys. As with

Wilder’s role his too is serious. We are constantly expecting snappy laughs from these two performers, but the gunfights and car wrecks don’t leave much ro.om for comic appeal. Ray “My Favorite Martian” Walston also seems out of character ag a tough-talking thug. The whole thing culminates in a huge extravanganza of demolition that makes Joe Kidd look like a picnic. This scene of mass destruction may appeal to a younger age group as genuine excitement. The movie is clearly intended as family entertainment and as such is worthwhile. Violent death’ is limited to the criminals, and the heavy bedroom scene is spent discussing gardening techniques rather than exposing flesh. Some viewers may find it jarring to notice a striking resemblance between the supposed skyline of Los Angleles and that of downtown TOr-onto. That might be enough to spoil the effect of a trip through desert and mountains, but no. The same setting is used for the scene of downtown Chicago! The Royal York Hotel is in the same place and Union Station is thinly disguised using a small sign that reads “Chicago”. The occasional humourous scenes resulting from Wilder’s failure as a hero can still be enjoyed despite these drawbacks. \ -lorne

absurd argument over which of them owns a meadow in the neighbourhood. He just cannot bring himself to propose to her. Eventually the problem is resolved, but not through any effort by Lomov. The play was a class project for Drama 490. The production was quite well done, and the caricatures were quite successful, but I felt that the absurdity could have been heightened by a greater pretense of ’ “seriousness” (but that’s my prejudice, since I love inanity). The humour was weakened slightly by the lighthearted attitude towards the play. One tends not to sympathize as much with Lomov because of the feeling the actors give that it will all turn out alright anyway. Aside from that minor criticism, the production was very professional - something one should expect anyway. Productions like these should be a welcome break to hardworking university students, especially when they’re free, but only a handful of students showed up at the performance I attended. Watch out for the next UW play; they’re more than worth the minor effort required to locate them. -4scar

Bill’s bluff “‘Buffalo Bill and the Indians” is showing in AL116 tonight through Sunday at 8pm for a dollar for students. It’s an amusing movie by Robert Altman, with Paul Newman as Buffalo Bill Cody , but it is Ia big disappointment, especially .after “Nashville”. Altman has alternately been directing good and bad flicks over the past seven years, with apparently no consistency. “M*A*S*H” and “Brewster McCloud” were excellent films, but junk like “Thieves Like Us” and “MacCabe and Mrs. Miller” came out after. “Nashville” was Altman’s biggest and best, but it seems to have been a big, lucky fluke. “Buffalo Bill’ tells us, among other things, what a fake the man, was. The main problem with it is the sketchiness of the script. The vignettes and character portrayals are entertaining and well done, but they hold together like a wet kleenex. Apparently “Buffalo Bill” lost a bundle. Producer Dino (‘ ‘King Kong”) di Laurentiis commented: “Make anot her movie with Bob Altman? Not on your life !’ ’ .

To the Staff and “Burden” of the “Real” Chevron: Although we are angered by your socalled “pun”, we are certainly not humourless. We consider it an insult that the front page photo and cutline in the Jan 7 “Real” Chevron should appear in a university student newspaper. If the “Real” Chevron considers itself one of those degenerate, rotten papers that practices vulgar and unscrupulous journalism, it would not be worthy of our protest, and our request for a public apology would be quite out of place. Therefore, if the “Real” Chevron can be taken as such, an apology certainly would not be necessary. But if this is not the case, we deem it necessary that our demand be met. We believe your squeaking explanation is not good enough. By the way, we have yet to see any of the “puns” you mentioned occupy the front page of any other university student newspaper.

I, however, do not have the courage, as did those two, to sign my name to this letter for fear of the consequences. For in the PSI, agreetient which must necessarily be signed before receiving the course, I agreed under item 3. (L) to the following: “The Enrollee covanants, promises and agrees not to make, utter or cause to be made or uttered defamatory or malicious statements, remarks or comments, or otherwise injure the reputation, undertaking or name of PSI, its officers, directors, representatives, lecturers, teachers or instructors.“’ The courage of those others to express their disappointment has encouraged me to express mine. I enrolled in the two day course entitled Inward Bound II. Halfway through the first day I was disenchanted enough with the program to desire to leave. However I was ‘strongly’ encouraged and persuaded by the officers of the PSI program to stay for the day which I ended up doing. ’ Nevertheless, I refused to return the next -day in spite of continual pressure by the officers to do so as I was quite aware of the terms of the agreement which also stated, “the-Enrollee is not entitled to any refund for any reason after completion of the program”, in spite of what I had been told verbally by the officers that I was assured of a refund if I was at all dissatisfied. I finally did receive my refund which was promised to me, but not in the one to two weeks time suggested, but rather nine weeks later. I think the letter printed m last weeks ‘free chevron’ reveals the true nature of the PSI program. it too was my experience that the organization attracts lonely and insecure people, which admittedly we all are at times, and provides for them a sense of identity, security and value in their lives, and possibly even ‘love’. However the type of love provided needs to be further qualified. In my mind PSI offered all of these things - to some degree, but for a rather exorbant fee (i.e. $50 - $1,000’s), and it is my distinct impression from my experience with PSI that the ‘love’ expressed is no differeot than that.of good prostitution. PSI, like prostitution will provide for our needs and give us a source of identity, security and value, but only so long as we continue to pay the price. For me, as long as I continued to play along and assure them that they would be

able to keep my money, I was ‘loved’ and appreciated for my openness and willingness . to ‘grow’. However when I expressed my dissatisfaction with the program and my definite intent to leave the course, I was called every name in the book, accused of being selfish and only seeking attention, of being shallow and closed minded and of being only concerned with getting my money back and getting something for nothing. By that time I no longer cared if I got my money back, I-was just glad I had learned my lesson so cheaply. For those who are still interested in the claims by this organization to offer ‘mindto-mind contact’, ‘perfect recall’, etc. I tiould like to quote from a book hy Christmas Humphreys entitled Concentration and Meditation

(1968) for he says two things of real value: (i) there are no shortcuts to enlightenment (ii) work out your own salvation. And one final point he adds, “No true master of meditation will take one penny for his teaching”. Name

I would like to know why Erhard Kienitz, the injured worker interviewed in your January 7 issue, is starving himself in protest of alleged Workman’s Compensation Board injustices instead of trying to effect a speedy recovery from whatever ails him. I think that he is malingering and should be disentitled to any compensation from the Board. Kienitz claimed that he has been injured five times since he first took up physical labour, and furthermore did not discuss his own conflicts with the Board. Five injuries, eh? Indeed! I have worked as a labourer in factories, in construction, as part of a survey crew, and with blasting crews on an oil pipeline. 1~ all, I have spent more than four years dping “joe jobs” and in all that time I did not,.receive any injury serious enough to compel Fe to take time off the job. Some of my assignments have involved more than a wee bit of personal risk. What was Kienitz doing when he was last injured? Moving pianos via tightrope across the Niagara Gorge? Or did he “accidentally” step on a -nail? Why didn’t he discuss any of his personal W.C.& hassles? What had he to hide from us? A fraud conviction? Erhard Kienitz is not a healthy man. It’s true! Why, the poor fellow hasn’t eaten at all for more than a week. Michael McCartney Chemical Engineering

The editor and staff of the “Real” Chevron once again showed their irresponsibility by naming as Mouse I and Mouse II th-e two letters of protest to the photo and libelous remark against Mao Tsetung. First of all, we declare that we do not and never will recognize the “Real” Chevron as a student newspaper. It is a rotten, unscrupulous, slanted newspaper financed by the Federation of St\idents with the student money and run by a handful of scab journalists. The scab editor, R.B. Burton, tried to conceal his evil intentions by saying that “we did not intend that anyone should take it as an insult; it was given in the spirit of fun”. It seemed as if those who wrote the letters were wrong, for they could not appreciate the humour of our dear staff in the “Real” Chevron. They should not have written those letters in the first place for they spoilt the “spirit of fun”. Insult is not something that is subjective or something up to one’s interpretation. An insult is an insult, and nothing else regardless of the “intention”. The photo and its caption were selfexplanatory. Anyone with some sense will see at once that the “pun” was the most

blatant and vicious attack on Chairman Mao. Moreover, this incident is not isolated. As a letter pointed out last week, the infamous Bullseye, another rotten paper put out by the federation last ftill, ran a similar article on the front page of its Oct. 28th issue. If all these are not insults then what are they? Fun and insult never go hand in hand. Being humourous never means having to be insulting while something that is an insult is never fun. And yet, our dedr staff urged those who wrote the letters to swallow the insults “in the spirit of fun”. On top of that, the staff of the “Real” Chevron cast further insults to the writers directly by calling them Mouse I and Mouse II. We deem it unnecessary for the “Real” Chevron to give an apology, for we do not consider it a student newspaper and secondly, it advocates nothing but slanted, rotten and downgraded journalism. Chairman Mao will be remembered by the revolutionary people of the world as a a great revoltitionary regardless of all the slanders, libels and insults.

again the question of the validity of his experiments. (Koestler, like Wahlsten, believes that his man was sandbagged.) Recenlly, however, what Kammerer thought were his definitive experiments on the problem of acquired characteristics w&e repeated (4). This study failed to substantiate any of Kammerer’s claims. Now that -Wahlsten is delving into your career to uncover the truth, I wonder if he will take time to re-examine 0-B. Lepeshinskaya’s work (5). Lepeshinskaya was thoroughly and keenly supported by you. Her ‘discoveries’, not unlike yours, have been denounced, to use one of Wahlsten’s words. 1Among other things, O.B. claimed that cells originated from egg yolk. As she said: “All our studies of the origin of cells from living substance blast the mechanistic conceptions of the idealists Virchow, Weismann, Mendel and Morgan. Our studies confirm a number of Engels’ postulates: “the non-cellular organisms begin their development from a tiny simple albuminous mass” . . .-Dialectical Johnson Cheng materialism should be as essential for every K. Jan Sen worker in science as the air he breathes.” (6). Indeed, Wahlsten may find some hidden evidence tp reestablish her studies that now have been swamped by “reactionary bourgeois pseudo-scientific views,” to use her own words. It will be interesting to read the outcome of Wahlsten’s devoted researches.

Capita/i& bulldozers I really must take exception to the article by Doug Wahlsten concerning the booming sales of expensive automobiles. He has really forgotten an even more booming portion of the automotive market - bulldozers! Yes, bulldozers are the up and coming thing. Hundreds, no, thousands of rich capitalists are just running out and buying all sorts of Massey-Fergusons and John Deeres. Why, you ask? Well, comrade, the answer is simple: whenever a student is out freezing in the cold, thumbing it up University Avenue the capitalist just roars up the street’oblivious to the oppr&sion he is causing. He has not a care in the world, knowing that the poor student will be so oppressedjust by his presence that he will-jump immediately under the treads of the wealthy capitalists’ bulldozer. Indeed the sudden upsurge in sales of bulldozers to the ruling elite is no doubt the sole reason why Khruschev’s brilliant proletarian prophecy has not come true: “‘We will bury the West.” George H. Berger

Get your facts straight \

In the December lOth, 1976 chevroti, Val Moghadam and Phil Cramer wrote an ‘article on the visit of the Zionist Yoram Dinstein to campus. There are a couple of points which the authors should have investigated instead of merely relying on the lies peddled by this racist before they wrote the article. The article states that: “One woman, who said she was jailed at age 14 in Israel, spoke of destruction of homes and the imprisonment and exile of Arabs by the Israeli government. Another woman in the audience said, however, that she hid lived in Israel for two years and never saw any destroyed homes.” So we’re left with each person giving their statement and the question remains: “Is there or isn’t there destruction of Arab homes in the racist state of Israel? . Nineteen thousand Arab homes have been destroyed in the past seven years and according to the UNRWA, a United Nations or-

a typewriter

ganization, commissioner John Rennie reported 6360 Arab homes destroyed in five weeks, just in the occupied territories! These figures and sources were continu-’ ously pointed out to the audience but were dismissed by both the Zionists and the reporters. Another point that is mentioned is the “close military ties, between Israel and South Africa. Dinstein replied that many countries have trading links with South Africa,, but only Israel is singled out and castigated.” This point is purposely obscured by the authors. Trading links and military links are two different things, as pointed out continously by members of the audience, but again never reported and purposely obscured! (NO nation should have-any links with this fascist state!) The point remains: Does Israel have military ties with South Africa or not? While in Israel last April, Vorster told reporters that he had discussions with Israel’s Prime Minister, .Rabin, and Foreign Minister, Allon, dealing with “ways to expand trade, encourage investments, the setting up of joint scientific and cultural ventures and ldans for the joint utilization of South Afri-

can raw materials. Z’ The New York Times,

August 18, reported the following: “Israel’s diplomatic and commercial ties to South Africa have increased dramatically in-recent months in a strengthened relationship between the two countries that reportedly includes the sale of Israeli manufactured military equipment . . . .“Israeli radio reports that Israel is building at its Haifa shipyard two long range gunboats armed with sea-to-sea missiles for the South African navy. Other accounts place the number of boats at six. The 420-ton boats cost about $6 million without armaments. With missiles the cost is estimated at $18 million a boat. “Reports that about 50 South African naval personnel on temporary civilian status, are training in the Tel Aviv area to man the missile boats. “Reports that the sales agreement with South Africa includes delivery of up to two dozen Israeli-built Kfir jet planes. ” “Reports that in exchange for South African raw materials, including an estimated one million tons of doal a year to buoy the Israeli steel industry, the Israelis would provide South Africa with advanced military electronic equipment.” If our authors had investigated first, (or even reported on the whole meeting) then there would be no possibility such statements could be made. In fact these statements only serve to confuse the issu& and only as blatant support for the racist state of Israel. Salah Bachir

Of the many claims mad3 against the chevron, the concern that it was not a responsible press now rings the most hollow. With the federation’s paper “The Bullseye” (edited by Doug Thompson) already discredited on this account, it is now time to look at the “real” chevron. Though this paper claims to be a student paper, it is produced and edited by. the federation - an inherent contradiction. The “watchdog” nature of the student press breaks down under such conditions. The editor of the paper, Bruce Burton, when trying for editorship of the free chevron, claimed that he is a journalist first and politician second. In the “real” chevron he wrote that his paper “would avoid taking sides on any issue, but report any happening factually and objectively”. The paper, however, is used as a political tool -a charge made against the chevron. Doug Thompson’s unsigned article (The Chevron affair) in the Jan. 7 issue starts by saying that many councillors were concerned with “yellow journalism” in the chevron. The re’st of his article is yellow journalism. The article states: the AIA was trying to dominate the paper; that chevron staff’s dislike for the federation stems from the latters support of the “imperialist class of oppressors of the downtrodden masses”; that staff’s argument is the federation is undemocratic - not that it acted undemocratically; .that question 7 on the referendum “deals explicitly” with “the chevron’s express desire” of reinstate, investigate -although the question doesn’t mention investigation. . .. It presents staff positions which are not staff positions, for the author never contacted us. It is entitled “The Chevron affair” but does not include the general meeting and its consequences. The author also claims the referendum will establish “once and for all the will ofthe students” when in an interview - he claimed it would not be binding on council. The Jan. 14 issue of the “real” chevron ran as the front page story an unsigned article on the Campus Reform Group (CRG). The editor could not specify who’wrote it but claimed it was done by a friend of Thompson’s - the CRG’s candidate for president - who interviewed Thoinpson and quoted the CRG Press release and council motions extensively. The article was merely a public relations effort made by the paper in support of a political party in the federation. It was totally uncritical, failing to mention that the CRG is a realignment of unproductive council members sans Roberts. The chevron, it was claimed, was run undemocratically. What then did the federation replace the regular friday meetings and staff control with? The real chevron has no.staff meetings and is controlled by the editor and key people in the federation. It therefore does not matter how many students join the paper, for they will have no editorial control. The paper is dominated by o,ne group, as was charged against the chevron. . Twenty-eight of the fifty-three signed articles in the first six issues were signed by federation people - mostly the editor. The others were: Orth, Burke, McDougall, Thompson, Dryden, Roberts, Brykmann, Kyrytow and Klingender. . Fourteen non-federation students have worked on the “real” chevron, but none more than twice. The startling,point, however, is that sixty articles t have been printed without a byline. There has, been only one story written on the chevron affair that has beensigned. The letters section entitled “We Get Letters” has printed five letters not addressed to the paper, three with faked names, four from federation sources an&eight from other sources. People’s names appear in the masthead who have never contributed to the paper. Hundreds of students have recently opposed the paper as being irresposible for printing material bordering on racism. d An article entitled “Computing and the faculty of science” was printed without the author’s consent. The Jan. 14 issue included an editorial by Dave Warner, piovincial NDP education, critic, without mentioning this fact ’ and thus making it look as if it were written by a student. A Dec. IO article by Judy Gill was stolen directly from Weekend Magazine. Despite claims the federation doesn’t want to run the student paper, all evidenlce shows otherwise. The general meeting bylaw proposals showed this, as did Bullseye and the “real” chevron. It is clearly not a student paper, while it clearly is everything the federation alleged was wrong with the chevron. The question is not whether the federatio,n wanted a responsible press; rather were they afraid of one?

Reflecting on my first week as a chevric, I would have to rank the motion of adjournment at the OFS meeting as the most refreshing mpment.

win czgain : The Warriors were led by Mike Visser who scored 26 points, Lou Nelson with 13, Bob Yuhatz with 12, Seymour Hadwen with 10 and Phil Tamburino with 9 points. From the Hawks’ point of view. I 1 everything that might have gone wrong did. Even though much credit must be given to the offence and defence of Waterloo, nearly as much must be given to the ineptness of the Hawks. Though not as strong as last year, they are capable

of more than was evident on Saturday. Thus one can expect the Hawks to put on a more creditable performance when they play the return game in the PAC. In a post-game interview top scorer Mike Visser commented: “After we lost to Laurentian in the .Naismith we realized we had to start things over and get things together.’ We’ve lost some games since then, but it seems like the guys are playing better as a team.” The Warriors are very definitely playing better as a team. Their impressive 44 point win over the Hawks was complemented by another win earlier last week over the McMaster Marauders to give the Warriors a 2-l record placing them in a three-way tie with Western and Windsor, four points behind Guelph. The Warriors’ home game opener provided the crowd with an exciting game as the Warriors had to put on a second-half surge to beat the Marauders. Again Visser put in a stalwart performance leading the scoring and checking all-star forward Dave Roser. Yuhasz, Nelson, and Hadwen also performed well shooting and under the boards. Wednesday night the Warriors played Western. Game results were not available at press time. Tomorrow night the Warriors travel to Guelph in an attempt to gain a first place standing.

Track Both the Athena and Warrior track and field teams will take part in the York Invitational Track and Field Meet Saturday, Jan. 22. Waterloo head coach Gord Robertson has high hopes for the teams, pointing out some of Waterloo’s top performers as Rick Heemskerk in the men’s high jump and Faye Blackwood in the women’s 50 yard dash. The competition will be tough, though, Robertson warned. “Rick Heemskerk is up against Roland0 DeMarchi and Steve Doraston, both from the University of Toronto. “Heemskerk is the defending 0 UAA Indoor Champion. DeMarchi was the OFSSA Outdoor Champion and Dovaston was the OUAA Outdoor Champion. “In the women’s 50 yard dash, Faye Blackwood has to be rated a good chance. She won an all comers meet last weekend in the time of 6.2 seconds.” The Indoor Championships will be hosted by York University on March 5177 and this will be good preparation for this event as well as the Toronto Star Games held later in February.

pe.cted from the US, including the defending team champions, Clarion State. The others will be Oneota State University, Oneota, N .Y. ; Ithaca College from Ithaca, N:Y. ; and Ball State University of Indiana. Four other Ontario teams will also attend: Queen’s, McMaster, Guelph and Toronto. The talent will include Toronto breast stroker Jane Wright and Karen Le Gresley in the distant freestyle events and members of the ‘72 Canadian Olympic Team. Queen’s will have diver Janet Nutter, 1975 gold medalist in the Pan American Games. Another top diver is Athenas’ Val Quirk, last

. year’s champion in both the CWIAU one and three metre diving. In addition-to Quirk, other topperforming Athenas have been Patti Gorazdowska, who in an earlier Montreal Invitational wcn the 200 metre freestyle and placed second in both the 400 and 800 freestyle events, and first year university swimmer Leslie Patterson from Windsor, who has been swimming very well. There is no admission charge for the meet which gets underway at 10:00 am on Fri. with the heats and finals at 7:OO pm. On Saturday heats begin at 9:00 am and finals at 6,:OO pm.

Good games ahead _

The Athenas- are playing good Basketball. Tuesday, January 12 they chalked up their fourth victory against McMaster in the Western Division of the OWIAA by a 55-47 decision. Despi.te a 30-17 lead at the half, the Athenas were not certain of victory until the final whistle went. The Marauders cut the Athenas lead several times to six points and seemed to outplay them. Chris Tunnis and Carol Kizlik paced the winners with 12 points each. The Athenas faced the University of Western last Tuesday; unfortunately the results were not available at game time. Western leads the OWIAA western division with a 6-l record. UW has a 4-2 record and sits in second place. , Coach Sally Kemp anticipated a tough game as Western has just finished a tour through the Atlantic area which provided them with valuable game experience. Kemp feels “Western plays very aggressive ball.1 Defensively they press a great deal of the time and use a fast break offense. “We have to watch ourselves and make sure that we play our game and not be forced into Western’s style of game. We have

to remain calm against their press.” On Friday evening at 8:00 pm the Athenas will’ host the University of Toronto. Kemp says, “The Toronto game will be a complete change from the Western Game. Toronto traditionally plays a 1.2.2 zone. They have some tall personnel and we often have a difficult time in getting to the backboards.” Returning to the PAC with the University of Toronto will be two former members of the Athenas; Judy Halaiko and Carla Organ. Judy Halaiko played for Waterloo from ‘72-‘74 while Carla Organ played from 1974 until the end of last, season. The third game for the Athenas in the eight-day span will take place next Monday when they meet the University of Guelph in Guelph. “Judy Antonio will be a doubtful starter for Guelph. She is a member of their first team and a very valuable contributor to Guelph’s total team effort. Guelph- are always strong especially at home,” Kemp says. The game between the Athenas and Guelph has been rescheduled from its original date of January 22. The Athena-Guelph game will take place on Monday, January 24, in Guelph.
