The immediate result of this decision is that the two Grad members on Council, Dave Carter and Mike DeVillaer, lost their vote for the rest of the meeting, including the second part of the motion concerning the Grads, which was tabled. Earlier in the meeting, Mike Kubasiewicz, President of Environmental Studies, presented the amended ESS Constitution to Council, and saw it passed with no discussion, after it had passed the Committee of Presidents meeting earlier in the day.

REPRESENTATION WITHOUT TAXATION After a number of attempts, including a narrow 125-121 vote against the motion at the Annual General ‘Meeting, the Graduate students finally were deprived of their voting privileges by Council, Wednesday night. Following a lengthy discussion on the proposal, the motion was passed by the narrowest of margins, 9-8. The wording of the motion was such that only those Grad students who have paid Federation activity fees can vote in Federation affairs. The Grads decided via referendum in 1970 to withdraw their fees from the Federation, and pay them to the Grad

viding the Toronto-Waterloo Express on weekends, was scheduled to appear in court today, on charges of operating a “recurring” service. Gray Coach lines, the plaintiff in the case, has offered the Council a 20% commission on ticket sales, providing’ they act as ticket agents for the daily service to “any points in Ontario”. The Executive feels that there would be too much time and expense involved in running a daily ticket agency, plus the individual student would pay more, even if the 20% were returned to him as a discount. A similar Toronto ticket as is now available would cost almost twice as much as it does through United Trails. It was decided that Val Moghadam, who ran for a Council seat

Hire more faculty? Some of the effects of the faculty cutbacks may begin to be neutralized, if a suggestion made by UW President, Burt Matthews, at Monday’s Senate meeting is put into effect. During the discussion of the university budget, he pointed out that, while enrolment has risen at the rate of 18.-l per cent over the past four years, the number of faculty ,has increased by only 3.7 per cent. In order to avoid excessive teaching loads caused by this trend, he suggested that salary increases must be “traded off” for more faculty. He also suggested that the university should hire more young faculty than it has in’ the past.

Granted this is lighly amusing, however it does not constitute a paper by any means. R.B. Burton has given the paper credlbility by refusing to print only the federation side of what is happening. Thompson wake up!! Nobody in their right mind believes anything the free chevron has to say. Their sole value IS comic relief. The free chevron for the most part is a very sad joke. It is like a relic from some forgotten era of silliness. They have long destroyed their reliability as a newspaper. It would be foolish for the federation to make the same mistake. I feel that the Federation should develop an allergy to the newspape.rs. Stay away, Turkeys! Never should a paper come under the control of a political group. Look at the garbage that periodically flows out of the free chevron. It must be embarrassing for any of the moderate free chevrics to read that stuff. ln conclusion I should like to express my support for R.B. Burton and a non-political orientated paper.

sionistic deviation from the principies of communism” of post-stalinist Russia. (Note: Trotsky, the organizer of the Red Army, was never given a fair hearing in Russia. - his official occurred after his expulsion “trial” from Russia when he was unable to; defend himself. The only fair and equitabfe trial he received was in Mexico which was dispassionately convened by John Dewey, the famous American philosopher. Of course, the Stalinists have either wholy ignored the Dewey Commission - which found Trotsky innocent of the Stalinist accusations - or have dismissed it due to the fact that John Dewey received some support from the Rockerfeller Foundation. The Stalinist concept of a fair hearing for their opponent is an icepick in the brain due process applies only for them. Thus, there exists three main groups of communistis: Trotskyists, Stalinist-Maoists, and the Soviet dominated communist parties that remain in eternal bondage to whoever happens to be on top in the U.S.S.R. at any particular time. In Canada, these tendencies are represented by these main groups: the League for Socialist Action or LSA/LSO, and the Revolutionary Marxist Group or RMG which are Trotskyist; the Communist Party of Canada (Marxist-leninist) or CPC (M-L) which is a Stalinist-Maoist party; and the original Communist Party of Canada, known as the CPC or CP which is Soviet dominated. Each one of these groups is fragmented by many splinter groups. One reason for the continual splintering of these groups is due to the fact that they are “democratic-centralist” organizations. In other words, allow internal they. theoretically. dissent and discussion, but externally present a unified front. Most parties merely frown upon rebels who “break caucus”. but any significant deviation in the communist parties from accepted policy results in the expulsion of dissident groups. The Stalinist tendencies are generally Maoist also due to the fact that Mao makes much use of Stalin’s “writings” in his own works. He consistantly quotes “comrade Stalin” in order to give greater authority to his own writings. However, Mao was by far the better scholar and writer. (However, Mao frequently quoted things Stalin never said, according to Furthermore, some some critics. even contend that Mao’s Stalin was a fictitious creature that had no relation to the actual historical Stalin!) The-Stalinist-Maoist tendency is present in the form of the AIA on this campus. The Trotskyists -are poorly represented at the U of W by one who is presently a member of the LSNLSO and one other, a “fellow-traveler” and ex-member of the Young Socialists (the YS is the youth wing of LSA/ LSO, its relation to its parent party is analogous to the relation between the AIA and the CPC (M-L). There were some spartacists on campus the Spartacus tendency was founded by Rosa Luxemburg and Karl Liebknecht in Germany around 1917, today the Spartacus tendency is a Trotskyist splinter - but as far as I can ascertain, they are now “extinct”. Also. I have not yet come across a CP’er on this campus. In general, as one follows the spectrum from Trotskyists to the CP’ers, One se,es a decrkasing level of scholarship and philosophical education. The CP propagandists are almost totally illiterate, whereas the CPC (M-L)‘s “Peoples’ Canadian Daily News” is only a marginal improvement upon similar efforts of the CP. As an example of CPC (M-L) journalism one should locate a copy of the February 7 or 8 PCDN-or the March 14 mathNEWS which had a reprint from that particular PCDN issue, and artitle entitled “Support the Just Struggle Of the Chevron Staff Against State Attacks”. As one professor put it, “they know about as much about investigative journalism as a monkey in a cage knows about evolution.” In reality there is not much difference in the actual philosophy of preand post-Stalinist Russia and thus in the respective> communist tendenties. The “transformation” of Russia after the death of Stalin was as believable - or real - as the metamorphosis of Richard Nixon from coldwarrior to proponent of detente. l-iving conditions in Russia today have only improved trivially for minority groups. The actual change was only one of a modification of propaganda style,s. Phillip Cramer Due to its length the rest of this letter will be printed next week.

CSA general \
meeting considered
On 11th March, 1977 at 8:30 to 1: 00 a.m. the Annual General Meeting (AGM) of CSA-UW was held in MC-2065. The objectives of the CSA-UW are : a) To promote intellectual and cultural understanding in the Chinese Community in the q University of Waterloo; b) To serve as a bond of fellowship among the -members of the Chinese Community in the University of Waterloo ; c) To promote international understanding and good will. The agenda of the AGM was: A) The adoption of the Secretary’s report; B) The adoption of the Treasurer’s report; C) Amendments to the constitution ; D) *Election of new executive committee for the duration of May l/77 to April 30/78; E ) Other business. The first question (following the Secretary’s report) was concerned with the CSA stand on the Real Chevron’s picture of the mouse, which was considered insulting to the Chinese people. In response, Sammy Chan, the President, reported that an .explanation was demanded and received. Furthermore, no such incident had recurred since then. After some questions were raised and answered in other matters, the
Secretary’s report, which contains 48 events and functions (excluding regular functional groups’ activities) was unanimously adopted. The Treasurer’s report was adopted in similar fashion’.

Now Look Ronnie Wood’s solo album, “Now Look” isn’t a new release, it’s one that has received little notice. So little in fact, that the C.C. record store doesn’t even stock it, although it can be ordered. The album is terrific. There is Ron Wood’s unmistakable guitar work. Wood has played alongside Jeff Beck in the Jeff Beck group, with Rod Stewart and the Faces and, just recently, joining the Rolling Stones. Along the road he helped out on numerous other albums for people like Long John Baldry. “Now Look” is true to Wood’s

blues/rock background, but it includes a beat and rhythm so cool-and provocative that it would liven up any dull party. Keith Richards, Mick Taylor and Bob Womack all play guitar on some of the songs and the blending is perfect. The interplay of rhythms between the guitars in themselves and with the rest of the band is excellent. There are no gaps in the polyphonic or polyrhythmic effect. Also included on the album are Ian McLagan on piano and organ, Willie Weeks on bass, Andy Newmark on drums and Jean Roussell on electric piano, synthesizer and other keyboards. The vocals, done by Wood and Womack are harsh but expressive. They carry Wood’s lyrics which are mature open hearted expressions of our most basic feelings. The title of the album contains its own irony. One of the world’s greatest, yet often overlooked, guitarists seems to - have been overlooked again. “Now Look” is a record for the serious minded listener who was never quite. satisfied with Ron Wood’s performance in’ a secondary light. This time he lets loose with an unrestrained power which is unmistakable genius. Pattijoy Armoogam

Cockburn *packs theatre
Back stage on Monday night, Bruce Cockburn recreated the free informal atmosphere which his music had always stimulated a few years ago. For those listeners who hung, around Yorkville’s “Riverboat” coffee house in the late sixties, the sound would have been hauntingly familiar: Cockburn’s distinctive voice wandering around his loosely picked gui-
tar notes. He sang “Gavan’s Woodpile” as the few people backstage sat around waiting and listening. Cockburn was the same as he had always been in the “folk era”. With his ragged looking dog and beat-up guitar -_case, he came in quietly and casually, playing music as real as the wood in his guitar. The sou?d is ‘one which just cannot be reproduced by any P.A.
system. Putting Cockburn in a large theatre, away from smaller, less informal gatherings, automatically places more emphasis on the performance technique. Cockburn is, in his own way, a’s much of a performer as he is a‘ song writer. During the concert he displayed some solid guitar work in a slightly speeded-
up arrangement of old and new songs. Both alone Fnd with his band, it “was evident that Cockburn has become much more than a competent musician. Cockburn’s mock classical/ jaz-z/folk acoustic picking was backed up by some excellent acoustic and electric bass by Bob Boucher, good piano and marimba by Pat Godfrey and some not so good percussion by Bill Usher. The percussionist, who had quite a nice array of exotic chimes, cymbals and hand drums, seemed to just pound away, being only adequate at best. The other three musicians knitted together well as they half improvised, half r&ited the material. Cockburn’s lyrics, his little coded messages,. may have suffered some from being pushed out to larger audiences. Still, he manages to keep up something of an intimate contact between himself and his audience. Last Monday’s concert even inciuded a little verbal reminder that the Western Guard is still

in our own back-
He reminded the audience about the kind of racism which has slipped into- our immigration policies. Cockburn joked that the Western Guard is not only trying-to send the Pakies back to Pakistan, the blacks to Africa and the West Indians to the West Indies, but they also want to send the Indians back across the Bering Straits. Cockburn, as a Canadian artist actively concerned with social progress, has influenced the lives of a large segment of the population. His seven records have put him in the front line of Canadian recording artists. This week Cockburn was also an entertainer. It was a good concert and the audience loved it. The atmosphere, however, was too empty. A few clanking coffee cups or bit of-sunshine could have reminded a lot of people where Cockburn’s music was born and how it grew up. I guess popularity hasits own drawbacks. Wolfgang

His first novel Dune, won both Hugo and Nebula awards. l Through 600 pages you discover a desert culture where water conservation is a j religion. A young dethroned nobleman gives the novel a flavor, mixing The Prince and the Pauper and Lawrence of Arabia. Dune is considered by many to be Science Fiction’s greatest work.

For her novel, Left Hand of Darkness, and its racial concept of a unisexual world, she won both the Hugo and Nebula awards. LeGuin takes you on an odyssey on frozen planets where every day is a fight for existence. Ira Levin wrote Rosemary’s Baby.

When it comes to writing short sto’ries in the genre of Science Fiction, no finer writer than Robert Sheckly can be found. Notions Unlimited and Store of Infinity are two collections of his works. His storit%, such as The Wind is Rising, Minimum Man and The Native Problem add a touch of humor that makes them classics. Norman Spinrad has writ&n two
novels that I classify as memorable. Agent of Chaos is an adventure novel about a James Bond of the future. Bug Jack Barron is a political .novel of the next decade: a talk show host is caught. in life and death pokier play. A.E. VanVogt is one of the old masters of SF. He has written two novels that are considered legendary. The Weapon Shops is a story of an interplanetary empire and its rebel underground. The Players of Null-A and The Pawns of Null-A concern a man caught in something beyond human experience. The Day of the Triffids is a novel used in high schools; it was written by John’ Wyndham. The Chrysalids, a story of atomic mutation, and The Outward Urge a sort of outer space Forsvthe Saga, are two of his Superb works. If you find some of these novels arousing and exciting an interest in Science Fiction 1 experiment. The possibilities are limitless. In the last decade Science Fiction as an art form has gained a degree of respectability. From the pulp novels of the ‘4Os, SF has reached the point where new works are reviewed in the New York Times. In recent years there have been a number of SF novels on the best seller lists. There are a number of factors that contribute to this growth in popularity. Star Trek and movies Andromeda Strain ,” like “The “Planet of the Apes” and “Silent Running” have shown the public that there is much more to SF than monster insects. Traditional forms of escape literature, - westerns and mysteries - are running into dead ends as they are limited by reality; SF is limited only by the imagination. The fact that many earlier fantasies, such as Verne’s From Earth to the Moon, have become reality has added to Science Fiction’s credibility. Our technical

In addition he has writfen the novel, The Terminal Man, which is another example of contemporary SF. Philip Jose Farmer won the Hugo award in 1972 for To Your Scattered Bodies Go, the first Of a series concerning the rebirth of all humanity on the bank of a seemingly endless river. Other works include Flesh which mixes bizarre sex and humor in a transformed earth, and a series of adventure novels about Tiers, a world created for the amusemerit of its master.

ed his B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees from the University of Alberta and his Ph. D. from the University of Illinois. He taught at Illinois and at the University of Western Ontario before coming to the University of Waterloo. He also served in a number of research positions in Alberta and the western U.S. prior to beginning his teaching career. In the early 50’s he was a member of the Canadian Army, and saw service in Korea with the airborne infantry. His research interests have led’ to more than 30 publications and numerous .consulting and professional activities.
Locally, he has been a member of the environmentai advisory committee of the Regional Municipality of Waterloo and has done a number of studies relating to water resources, waste disposal and pollution. In recent years he has been deeply involved in water resource research in Nigeria and Tanzania and is continuing this work during his current sabbatical. He has also served as a senior consultant on groundwater studies for the c>;il Sands Environmental Study Group, a consortium of the 18 major oil companies planning development of the
MacMurray oil sands. When Dr. Farvolden came to Waterloo his first task was to develop the then newly approved graduate program in environmental geology. He was appointed to a second three-year term as chairman of earth sciences in 1973, and now, following a year’s leave, he will direct the activities of a faculty that includes departments of biology, chemistry, earth sciences and physics and a professional school - the school of optometry. The faculty of science has a total enrolment of .more than 2700 students.

Small Impro vement The Honourable Harry C. Parrott, DDS, Minister of Colleges and Universities has announced that eligibility for grants under the Ontario Student Assistance Program (OSAP) would be extended in 1977-78 to Ontario residents taking full-time professional programs offered by CEGEPs in the Province of Quebec. Quebec’s CEGEPs, colleges d’enseignement general et professionnel, offer two distinct kinds of program: general and professional. The general programs are intended for Quebec students preparing for entrance into pro-

grams of study at Quebec universities; the professional programs are self-contained technical programs leading to completed diplomas and entrance into the work force. Grant eligibility is extended only to those full-time students from Ontario taking the professional programs. With the inclusion of CEGEP professional programs, OSAP loan and grant assistance will now be available to Ontario residents enrolled in eligible programs at all Canadian publicly supported post-secondary institutions.
OSAP provides loans and grants to Ontario post-secondary students who have insufficient money to pay their living expenses and tuition fees. The amount of assistance made available depends on the individual student’s educational costs and financial resources. In 1977-78, assistance up to -$l,000 will be provided as a repayable loan guaranteed by the federal government under its Canada Student Loans Plan. Students needing additional assistance will normally receive it in the form of a provincial grant.

The University of Waterloo will launch a new undergraduate program next September designed particularly to educate future civil servants. As such, the program will be unique in Ontario. The program was approved by the UW senate at its Dec. 20 meeting. Students in the new “administrative studies” program will enrol in the department of political science -within UW’s Faculty of Arts. Political science courses will make up an important part of the program, which will lead to an honors degree, but there will be a number of other courses including economics, accounting, in dustrial psychology, organizational behavior, industrial sociology, and report writing. Two of the core courses, “financial accounting” and “accounting in the decision process,” are taught at Wilfrid Laurier University. A number of other accounting courses will be available, as electives. “All the courses, except the two to be taught at Laurier, are already being given on campus,” says Dr. Jack Kersell, political science professor and one of the designers of the administrative studies program. Others involved in the organization of it include Professors Aleksander Olsen and Robert Needham, of economics; George Rich, School of Urban and Regional P\lanning and Charles Griffith, Department of Recreation. Their departments are all involved in the program; so also are the departments of managemen t sciences (engineering),, psychology, philosophy, sociology, and systems design (also engineering). Waterloo foresees many possible career opportunities in the civil service, either federal or provincial, for the graduates of the administrative studies program. “We know the federal civil service has a need for people with this kind of background in administrative services, program administration, organization and methods, and in personnel administration,” says Dr. Kersell. “In fact, we have developed the -program based on what we have learned through the Committee of Schools and Programs in Public Administration. The Committee has been dealing with the Treasury Board and the Public Service Commission in Ottawa for the past four years.” UW’s political science department, in conjunction with political scientists from the University of Toronto, have also explored needs and requirements of the public service in the Ontario‘ provincial government . “We’ve also looked into the situation in connection with the civil service organizations in a number of other provinces,” says Dr. Kersell. ’ This will be one of the first attempts by one of the arts -departments at UW to attempt a careerrelated or “professional” program at the undergraduate level, though the department of economics offers an “applied” program on the co-operative system. Political science faculty mem-’ bers are of the opinion that the administrative studies program may for the prove to be a “natural” however, co-op system ; initially, it is not being offered as such. (The co-op system, which Waterloo pioneered in Canada, sees students alternating between campus studies and related work terms in industry or public agencies, usually every four months. ) Though Waterloo’s new adminstudies program is istrative focussed on the educational needs of those interested in becoming civil service administrators, it
would provide a useful background for someone interested in an administrative career in the private sector as well. Prof. Kersell believes the program would also serve well as background for persons interested in becoming administrators at the municipal level. He says Waterloo does not have, and has no intention of launching, a graduate program in the public administration area. “Anyone who wanted a master’s degree could get it from one of the universities already offering ‘a graduate program,” he says. “The background our bachelor’s degree will provide -should be extremely helpful to such a person, however. ’ ’ . Among the elective courses an administrative studies student could opt for are: From the department of recreation - Organization and administration of recreation services, recreation program planning, administration of camping and outdoor education, principles of recreation planning, park management, advanced park management. planning recreation facilities. From the School of Urban and Regional Plannin

From the department of political science - politics for the administrator, policy making in Cana da, Canadian government and politics, the Canadian legal process, aspects of Canadian law, public administration, urban politics, Canadian public policy and Canadian foreign policy.

As a commodity expert, he can anticipate the effect those patterns will have on prices, and cut his grocery bill accordingly. Somewhat smug in his superior knowledge, Fortas has been laughing around check-out counters lately. “I see all these people starting to load up on coffee,” he says. “They’re damn fools.” If American coffee drinkers are acting foolish, they have good reason. In two months, the wholesale price of Maxwell House the country’s largest roaster has gone from $2.91 to $3.70 a pound.

out. It is priced below retail to encourage sales of other items. Supermarket buyers knew coffee wholesale prices would be increasing and stocked up their inventories at earlier, lower prices. Thus consumers in many parts Of the country have been shielded so far from the full impact of the increase in green coffee-bean costs. “The retailers can’t mark it up fast enough to keep up with wholesale price increases, ” says Rod Leonard of the Community Nutrition Institute in Washington, D.C. The big U.S. roasters like General Foods which owns Maxwell House, and Proctor and Gamble which owns Folgers, would also like tq see coffee prices go back down. “The roasters don’t want a high price,” says Robert Levine a sugar trader with the New York Coffee and Sugar Exchange. “If you buy something for 4Q cents and sell it for 80, you’re making 100% profit. Buying it for $3.80 and selling it for $3.80 just isn’t the same. ” The roasters have also been concerned about declining coffee consumption in the U.S., and they fear higher prices will accelerate the trend towards soft drinks and teas. Some consumers fear that a boycott will only hurt workers in the coffee-producing countries. Leonard laughs at that suggestion: “You want to talk about social justice, okay let’s talk about the military dictatorship in Brazil and the wealthy landowners who produce the coffee.” Frances Heilbron a journalist for Folha de Sao Paulo, seems to agree with Leonard that a boycott would be the least of Brazil’s problems at the present time. “Brazil is on the verge of bankruptcy. politically and economically,” Heilbron explains. “No signifi- cant strata backs the government.

Conference More than 600 engineers, scientists, designers and medical doctors from 36 countries will be meeting on the UW campus, June 19-24, at the Fourth International Conference on Fracture. The conference is being organized by the International Congress on Fracture and it will be the Ifirst ICF conference ever held on the North American continent. Previous meetings were in Japan, England and West Germany; the conferences are held every four years. Altogether, 370 papers will be presented. The Proceedings are being published under the imprint of the University of Waterloo Press, the first major international publication bearing this imprint. Those attending are interested in the scientific study as to why and how things break, be they nuclear pressure vessels, turbines, ships, aircraft, roof girders, human bones, welds, plastics, ceramics . . . what have you. There will even be one paper dealing with how ice fractures .. . as related to the forming of ice bergs in our northern waters. Still another will deal with stresses in relation to plastic implants in the body to replace human bone (for example, hip prostheses ) . The main focus of the papers is, however, on high strength alloys. “Fracture problems have besome more crucial in recent years,” says Dr. David Taplin, U W mechanical engineering professor and chairman of the organizing committee. “For example, a fracture in a pressure vessel in a nuclear power station could have very serious implications. The same could be

They have trays of dice to select from . . .white dice with black spots, black with white spots, red, green, pink, 3/4 inch dice, l/2 inch dice, dice with square corners, rounded corners, and so on. And they’re all bogus. They’ve been sanded, or shaped, or weighted, or mis-spotted. The dice hustler is happy to let the players start the game and after matching up, he’ll switch the bogus dice in and out during the evening. The professionals usually work in crews of three or four. “The disadvantage is that the larger the crew, the more ways you have to split the winnings,” he notes. “However, there are many advantages to group efforts. It is safer. It takes a lot of the pressure off if one of the crew members should get into a tight situation. Also, it allows them to specialize.

said with respect to huge super tankers, northern pipelines, jumbo aircraft, and so-on. It’s not too much to say that governments could rise and fall because of the social implications of some fracture problems.” Because of this the conference will include a session on “Fracture, Politics and Society,” dealing with the mutual concerns of fracture experts and politicians. One of the distinguished speakers at this session will be Sir Alan Cottrell, vice-chancellor of Cambridge University and previously an adviser on Canada’s CANDU reactor program. There will also be a session on ‘ ‘Fracture Education” which will deal with the role of fracture studies in the education of scientists, engineers and technologists. “The fact is, virtually anything that ant engineer designs may break, ’ ’ points out Dr. Taplin. “Yet until now, fracture has not been a core part of the engineering curriculum; However, society isn’t going to let us build things now unless they are much safer . . . and so it is increasingly important that fracture be better understood by all engineers and designers. ’ ’ Fortunately, Dr. Taplin feels, scientists do understand how it is things break . . . and how to design them so they won’t break . . . better than ever before. Use of the scanning electron microscope and servo-hydraulic testing machines enables them to find out more about fracture at the atomic, macroscopic, microscopic, theoretical and experimental levels. In principle, the experts say, all fracture problems are related, whether the material is

’ is invariably to try to calm down the situation. He’ll simply say, ‘Okay, boys; we’re all here to have fun’ or something like that. He wants the game to continue ! ’ ’ Cooling out the target who has been relieved of his money is a very important hustling skill. Indeed, if it is done well enough the hustlers can expect to come back and’ hit him again and again . . .with the target never even realizing that he has been stung. Dr. Prus lists the five basics of hustling as (1) locating a target ; (2 ) consolidating oneself with the target; (3) promoting the target’s investments in one’s enterprise ; (4 1 obtaining possession of target investments, and (5 ) cooling out the target. Related to procedures (4) and (5) is the professional hustler’s pattern of just winning by a small edge. The idea is to keep, the target coming back for more. So, if the target is betting on a poker hand with three sixes, the skilled hustler will beat him with three eights . . .but not with four aces or a royal flush, for example. “The rough hustlers are more apt to be clutch - and - grab types who take all they can as quickly as they can,” Dr. Prus says. “But professionals just beat you by a little bit, they grind it out over the evening and over the long haul, most of the winnings go to the professionals. The main thing is to keep everything low key.” This applies to professional pool and golf hustlers as well. “The golf or pool hustler needs two basic skills,” he says. “First, he needs considerable playing skill .a golf hustler doesn’t have to be another Nicklaus but he will probably be at the level of a top amateur. Second, and even more important, he needs to be skilled in making the target think he is better than the hustler. “You seldom see a pool hustler coming into town looking for the top player to beat, “a la Paul Newman (The Hustler). What he has to do is find. people who are not as good as he is but who think they are; it’s the set-up. And, then he beats the target, he just beats him by an edge . . . to keep him coming back for more action. ” Finding targets and getting into games is a considerable skill in itself. It involves developing contacts, extensive travel, social skills, and just plain hard work. Card and dice hustlers spend a great deal of time locating suitable events and frequently have their schedules arranged a month or more in advance, with every attempt made to get background information on a party
before the crew attends. They work social events such as conventions, fraternal annual functions, sports dinners, golf outings, retirement parties, picnics and stags. They work small towns as well as big cities. It is not unusual for a crew of hustlers to encounter the mayor, the police chief and a judge in a suitable small town event. Often they have a “sponsor”, someone to front for them, to get them into an event and to introduce them around. “Very few career hustlers started off with the idea of becoming road hustlers,” says Dr. Prus. “But they probably all were people who began to see the -advantage of taking an edge whenever they could. Beyond that, their contacts were probably the most important single factor involving them in hustling.” Once in, however, they tend to become locked in. “After 10 years of hustling you’d have trouble getting another job even if you wanted one,” Dr. Prus says. “After all, what would you honestly say to a job interviewer when he asked you what you’d been doing for the past 10 years? In that sense, a hustler would be somewhat like an ex-convict trying to get a new start in life.” Still, some do get out of it, eventually. Sometimes they are driven out by the pressure ... they lose their confidence. As professional cheaters, they tend to become associated with others on the shady side of the law .fences, . bookmakers, boosters, and so on. How did Dr. Prus get into his study of road hustlers? “It was largely by chance,” he says. “A ,few years ago, I became acquainted with Mr. Sharper and told him a little about my work as a sociologist. Over a period of time he began telling me of some of his experiences hustling pool and only later did I learn about the card and dice involvements. Initially, I was skeptical, but eventually I ascertained that he was ‘solid’ and that he could supply all sorts of detailed and reliable information.” The book, which has just come out, is co-authored by Dr. Prus and his hustler friend, who writes under the pseudonym “C.R.D. Sharper.” It is published by Lexington Books (D.C. Heath and Company, Toronto). Toronto born, Dr. Prus grew up in rural Manitoba and did his graduate work at Iowa. He spent three years at the University of Windsor before coming to Waterloo last fall. He has also studied parole officers, clergymen, and the sociology of reputations. Currently, he is doing research in’ the reas of de3and interperviance, sexuality, sonal confrontations.

The notice of position re. the firing of the editor of the real chevron, R.B. Burton, was deleted from the minutes of Wednesday nights Council, by request of the person who had it put on, R.A.G. White, Math Co-op Representative. Burton had been notified two weeks ago of the dissatisfaction towards him on the part of the other three. paid staff members and the top two Executive members, President Doug Thompson, and Vice-President, Ron Hipfner. At the following Council, two days later, however, he approached White and explained the situFED HACK-AR

ation, and told him that he had decided to not relinquish control of the content of the paper, on the grounds that there was considerable danger that it would _turn into a Federation house organ. White then helped him to prepare a statement, such that he wished the people involved to make a motion to Council to have him fired, since he was hired by Council. The real chevron was set up by a motion in Council November 21, as a temporary publication, under By-law 2 of the Federation Constitution. The conditions put forward to then-President Shane Roberts by Burton would be that the paper
would be editorially independent, and would not be used to attack the free chevron position, nor support the Federation position. The dissatisfaction arose when such an article was pulled from the paper at the printers, without having a discussion about it with the staff present. Many Councillors have expressed strong disapproval with the move by the Executive members involved. The real chevron is tentatively scheduled to appear only twice more on campus, to finish out the term. It is not scheduled to resume publication at the start of the Spring Term.

Add dance to the list of things being “computerized” these days. What can the computer do for dance? Many things! At least it promises to be able to do many things in the not-too distant future. These things would include: helping dancers learn new dances; helping people learn to become dance notators (that is, learn to score dances) ; helping choreographers see what /their ideas actually look like; help dance historians preserve records of the dance, and perhaps even help safeguard copyright dances, in courts of law. A good deal of progress in the computer-dance area is being made by a group of researchers at the University of Waterloo. The principals are, Prof. Jillian Officer, of the dance group, and Prof. Gordan Savage, an engineer who has for years been interested in various computer-and-art tieins. Together, they’ve been working on a complex computer program which they call “choreo.” Chore0 will permit them to depict choreo-
graphic concepts on a cathode ray tube (TV screen). What choreo does is draw a stick-like human figure on the TV tube; the figure will literally dance in time to music, according to the instructions one feeds into the computer. “You don’t have to be a com-puter expert to make it work,” says Dr. Savage. “You do it all with a little box of buttons. You select, a body part -- an arm, a leg, the head - and push a button that tells the computer how you want that part to move. You can raise the arm overhead, bend an elbow, rotate the head. You do this for each body part and then, when you have punched in all your instructions for a particular dance movement, the computer puts them all together and the entire figure moves in a nice smooth movement into the position you want. ’ ’ The stick-like human figure was the idea of Prof. Maurice Constant, back in the late sixties. Prof. Constant is also an engineering professor. Charles Playfair, a former CBC television designer who got interested in computer art
Charlie
hventions The University of Waterloo is planning to establish a process development centre, the purpose of which will be to provide pilotscale testing for chemical engineering inventions. The plans are being developed within UW’s department of chemical engineering. “We believe the centre will fill a Canadian need,” says Dr. Edward Rhodes, chairman of the department. “We find that many companies in or closely related to the chemical industry simply have neither the facilities nor the trained specialists to set up pilot plants to test and develop new processes and products. Indeed, many of them would find it too disrupting to normal commercial activity to try to.do so. ” His department, on the other hand, does have the requisite . skills including technicians: it also has workshops plus a good - deal of experience. The department is made up of 28 faculty members each specializing in one or more of the following broad research areas : biochemical engineering, extractive metallurgy, pollution control. polymer science and engineering, process control and simulation (application of statistics), reaction kinetics and reactor design, and transportation processes and phenomena.

He, Prof. Constant, Dr. Savage and Ken Cook finally evolved a human figure that would walk, bend, wave its arms and so on, and still “hold together” on the TV screen. Essentially then, what Prof. Officer and Dr. Savage are doing today - involves making a ballet dancer out of the little stick-like figure which has subsequently been dubbed “Charlie” by some on campus. It hasn’t been easy. In fact, there is still one major problem to overcome; “Charlie” can’t leap about the way a living dancer does. They’re working on it. “It wasn’t until we tried to get ‘Charlie’ to jump that we began to realize just how fantastic the human brain and body really are, *’ says Prof. Officer. “It’s so easy for a dancer to calculate the height and length of a jump so he or she will come down to the floor again in time to the music. But trying to get ‘Charlie* to do it is very difficult.” They have been discussing the

“jumping’* probiem with another team of researchers at Simon Fraser University. UW and Simon Fraser are believed to be the only universities in Canada working in the computer-dance area, though UCLA and Pennsylvania are into it in the United States. The UW researchers first tackled the problem back in 1973 and at that time, they believe, they were the only ones in the world doing so. In the interval they’ve solved a number of other difficult problems. For instance, they can make “Charlie” dance in time to the music. “We had a little trouble with deep knee bends until we built a floor into choreo,” says Dr. Savage. “When we first tried it, the legs moved from the floor and the torso and head didn’t dip down at all. It looked hilarious.” They also had to build a “law of gravity*’ into choreo. If a real dancer lifts his left leg sideways he’ll fall over, unless his torso adjusts to correct the imbalance. So the computer has to adjust “Charlie’s” torso too, automatically. “There’s no question that what we’ve done to date is effective though,” ’ says Dr. Savage. “The body movement as portrayed by the computer is accurate.” Prof. Officer is sure chore0 will prove a valuable teaching aid. “Until now, a ballet has had to be taught on a person-to-person basis,” she , says. “The choreographer literally shows the dancer what to do and how to do it. With choreo, a dancer should be able to get a quick idea as to what his or her role in a dance will be like.” Chore0 might also proveuseful when a choreographer wants to check his or her ideas. Moreover, though the picture on the TV screen is in two dimensions, it can be manipulated so that one can get a side view, rear view, etc., of any given movement. You can turn “Charlie” around at the touch of a button. . UW’s chore0 program should be extremely helpful in teaching dance notation. “Notation” means using a complex “language” of dance symbols to score a dancer’s movements .‘.. much as a composer writes notes on a score for musicians to play. Learning notation is truly difficult, comparable to learning a foreign language. The chore0 program could serve as an excellent check on the accuracy of the learner. The student could watch a dance routine, notate what he or she sees, and then feed the notation into the computer to see if
“Charlie” will duplicate the original performance. While dance notation systems date back about 500 years there hasn’t been a truly accurate or comprehensive one until this century. The most commonly used notation system on this continent is called “Labanotation,” and was developed by a man whose last name was Laban. Another, widely used in England, is called “Benesh” notation. Dr. Savage is trying to tie the chore0 program in with the Labanotation system, initially. “It looks,” he says, “as though we may have to simplify Labanotation a bit here and there, to make it more adaptable to the computer; but we can do it. The truth is, once you look into the system you find there are a number of redundancies to it already.” Once chore0 is adapted to Labanotation it should be possible to do the same for Benesh. The computer could then automatically translate Laban into Benesh and vice versa, so that those skilled in one notation system will have virtually instant access to the entire literature of the other. Chore0 might also help preserve ballet history more accurately than has ever before been possible. It would be a fine supplement to film records of ballet dancing, Mrs. Officer feels. And it could be used by future ballet historians to confirm the accuracy of annotated scores. Finally, there may even be a use for it in connection with lawsuits over copyright infringement . Copyright law is changing, at least in the United States, and it ’ is beginning to look as though it will soon be extended to cover choreography. If so there could, some day, be a lawsuit over alleged copyright infringements and chore0 might be helpful to a judge deciding such a case: Whether ‘ ‘Dancing Charlie’ ’ ever gets to do his stuff in a court of law remains to be seen. But he’ll do an adequate job if called upon, Dr. Savage feels. “Sure, it’s a stick-like, simple sort of figure,” he says. “But that’s all you need. The technology is here, if we wanted, to enable us to put in details, shading color, and so on. But that would only use up additional computer time. “What we see happening is... we take our research and an inexpensive microcomputer, and put together a nice little package costing perhaps’ only three or four thousand dollars that could be used to teach a ballet, to teach . notation, or to do a variety of things. ”

The equivalent award for the Warriors, the Totzke Trophy, was not awarded, because it was felt that no Warrior athlete had distinguished himself enough to warrant it. The Warrior swimmers and divers picked up top team honors, as a result of their CIAU title won last month. Each member of the team received a plaque in recognition of their achievement. -
The Warrior basketball team received plaques for their OUAA title, a not-unfamiliar role for them. A total of six outstanding graduating women were awarded silver pins. Besides Purdon, they were Janet Helm (Field Hockey) ; Maida Murray (Swimming) ; Val Quirk (Swimming and diving) ; Judy Rash (Volleyball) ; and Beth Heuther (Field Hockey). In volleyball, Maureen Long shared the MVP award with Purdon; in field hockey, Beth Heuther and Joanne Rowlandson shared the honor; Carol Kozlik was the standout in basketball; and Karen Murphy made the biggest waves for the swimming Athenas. For the male swimmers, Ron Campbell, who set two CIAU records, shared the top individual

Howard Saunder and Al “The Man” Baigent (cross-country). In rugby Mike Hazel1 was honoured as “most deserving”. In the Intramural Programme, St. Jerome’s College and its affiliate, Notre Dame College, won the awards for top units. Larry Spriet was awarded the Judson Whiteside trophy for the person making the greatest contribution as a competitor, while Matt Weber was chosen as the recipient of the Robert Allan McCormick Trophy for the greatest contribution to intramural administration. The award presented with the most noise and fanfare, however, was the J.O. Hemphill Award for student administration, presented to the group known all over the North American continent, and Hamilton, the Warrior Band.

Council, the Federation of Stu- ‘0 dents threw $1500 into the kitty, ‘. . and the team members are current. ly selling draw tickets for a trip . . for two to Mexico. These tickets are only a dollar, and can be bought from any of the team members, coaches and managers. Probably the biggest handicap facing the team will be the change of rules for the tournament. “There are about 10 rule differences between FIBA and what we play”,’ said McCrae, ‘ ‘including a lane or key area which is more than 18 feet wide?’ McCrae should be quite familiar with the international rules, as anyone who watched the Olympic basketball games in Montreal will know, since he was the color commentator for CBC-TV. He is confident, however, that the members of the team can make the transition.

The CIAU Championships are over, but the season is far from over for Don McCrae and the University nof Waterloo Warrior basketball team. They have had plans for several months to compete in the annual Israel International Student Sport Week. The week runs from May 7 to 14 and will include competition in basketball, volleyball, handball, soccer, table tennis, and track I and field. Tel Aviv is the host city. The Warriors were selected by the CIAU last November, on the basis of their over-all season record. They will be competing against teams from Israel, Switzerland, the Netherlands, and Germany. UW finished third in the CIAU , finals on March 5, after winning the OUAA crown the week before. The trip will prove to be expensive for each team member, since they are individually responsible for transportation and miscellaneous costs, which will be around $7-800 per player. To help augment the high costs of the trip, the team has been running various activities and approaching different organizations for help in their goal. Joe Freund, father of Warrior guard, John Freund, led the fundraisers in the recent baskethon organized and run by the team. His son threw in 83 of his 100 freethrow attempts, to net (literally) - $1,040 in pledges. Guard Don Larman went for the big ones when he approached the industries in his home town of . Welland, and got sponsorships from seven of them. At the December 3 meeting of

Some info on Reed Paper Last week, we ran a story about the protest being held tomorrow, in London, against Reed Paper Company. We received an article this week from OPIRG, concerning this company which almost received a blanket OK from the Trudeau government to strip the forest from 19,990 square miles of virgin territory. The company is also responsible for threatening the lives and livelihood of the native peoples of Northwest Ontario, as a result of Mercury contamination of the English-Wabigoon river system. r
Environmental contaminants ‘are a serious health threat to us all, mercury pollution being a particularly insidious and lethal example. Incredibly small amounts of methyl mercury can cause poisoning resulting in symptoms such as numbness in the extremities, tunnel vision, speech disorders, and psychological changes which can lead to muscle spasms, ‘general paralysis, deformity, coma and eventually death. Most recently, it has been announced that the Muskoka Lake region of Ontario has been found to contain fish with mercury levels six times the ‘acceptable’ standard. At the present time, a total of 58 waterways in Ontario alone are closed to commercial fishing because of mercury contamination of the fish. This figure does not ‘mclude the many non-commercial river and lake systems, such as the Thames River in London, which have also been found to be polluted with mercury.
Greed Reed International Ltd. represents the typical corporate polluter. Between 1962 and 1970, Reed dumped an estimated 20,000 lb. and ‘lost’ .an additional 30,000 lb. of mercury from its Dryden operation. As well, between 1972 and 1975, a period of time during which Reed was ‘prohibited’ by government ‘control orders’ from dump-
huge rights.
ing any mercury whatsoever, an additional 3,800 lb. of mercury consumed by the company could not be accounted for. Reed’s mercury pollution has destroyed the commercial fishing industry along the English-Wabigoon River in N.W. Ontario and threatens the tourist trade in the same area. For the native people of White Dog and Grassy Narrows, this pollution has meant destruction of the economic basis of their communities and the poisoning of their major source of protein - fish.
Secrecy
expansion
What
and Inaction
The government of Ontario’s response to this situation has been characterized by secrecy and inaction. Both the Federal and Provincial governments failed to do any independent check of Reed’s effluent figures from the time the ‘control orders’ were issued in 1970 until 1975 when they were pressured to do so by native groups. Disclosure of secret negotiations between Reed and the government of Ontario, regarding the extension of Reed’s ,timber rights to include an additional 18,000 square miles of virgin black spruce forest in N.W. Ontario, came only after intense public pressure and ‘leaks’ of embarrassing memos by concerned civil servants. Questions as to what this scheme will mean for the life of the eight native communities in the area, the effects on the environment, and to the long-term prospect of forest regeneration were to be dealt with only superficially. Only intense public pressure forced the government tolaunch a special inquiry under which such concerns might receive adequate attention. It is bad enough that Reed polluted as it did; it is worse yet that it has not been held responsible for the consequences of its actions; it is absolutely unacceptable that Reed should be rewarded with a
of
its
timber
Is Reed?
Reed International is a Britishowned transnational conglomerate with holdings in 44 countries including Zimbabwe (Rhodesia) and South Africa. For years Reed argued that a changeover to a non-mercury process in Dryden would be too expensive, despite the fact that the conversion ended up costing only $5 million in 1975: a small price to pay in the face of 1974 cprporate profits of $36 million after taxes from Reed’s Canadian holdings alone. Reed’s greed is also well-known to its employees as indicated by its turbulent history of labour relations. In 1974, pulp and paper workers at Reed’s Dryden and Montreal mills were forced to go on wildcat strikes to obtain fair wage settlements. Reed responded with strikebreakers and court action. Reed has also been the target of strikes in 1975, 1976, and 1977.
Changing Visions The Canadian Landscape
-
The corporate irresponsibility, typified by Reed in its destruction of our environment and exploitation of our natural resources, is a matter which must be of concern to us all. Certainly Reed has taken notice of our concern. In an attempt to improve its corporate image, Reed has sponsored an art show which has toured Canada and the United States over the past year. Entitled ‘Changing Visions - The Canadian Landscape”, this show has been met with demonstrations and informational pickets in every city where it has appeared. The show has opened for the last time here at the London Public Library and Art Gallery. We are staging this informational

picket to protest Reed’s attempt to use art to polish its tarnished corporate image and dismal record in Ontario’s north. On March 26th we have scheduled a series of films and speakers in the’ London Public Library in the auditorium to inform people of Reed’s real relationship to the environment. We the undersigned groups and organizations make the following demands of the federal and provincial governments : 1. A full inquiry must be held on the development of Northern Ontario. The inquiry must explore all factors, all alternatives and allow for full participation by all interested parties. The inquiry should precede any further development schemes. The terms of referernce of the Hartt commission should be expanded to allow for such an inquiry. 2. Polluters must be held legally responsible for their actions. The burden of proof must lie with the polluter to establish that it is not responsible for damages to human health or to the environment. In the absence of such evidence the polluter must be responsible for compensation of its victims. In order to avoid further destruction, rigid testing and screening procedures must be implemented for all new industrial chemicals prior to their use. 3. The English-Wabigoon river system must be closed to all fishing. The total destruction of this waterway by mercury pollution must be recognized in order to prevent the further poisoning of innocent people. The native people must be provided with an alternative food
source. Full compensation must be paid by Reed International to the tourist camp operators and to the devastated commercial fishing industry for their loss of income. And assistance must. be provided to establish new forms of economic activity in the area. 4. The immediate halt of all mercury discharges by the chemical industry in Canada. At present there are still 10 chloralkali plants using the mercury process and discharging mercury into the environment. When the technology exists to eliminate the discharge of mercury, this is totally inexcusable.

Ontario scholl ws pick UW The University of Waterloo registered the third best enrolment of Ontario scholars in the province last fall, Dr. B.C. Matthews, U W’s president, told the university senate this week. Ontario scholars are graduates of year five (grade 13) at Ontario high schools with an 80 per cent average or higher. Dr. Matthews said that 36.4 per cent of Waterloo’s freshmen last fall were Ontario scholars. This rate was exceeded only by Queen’s University with 50.5 per cent and the University of Toronto with 47.9 per cent. The information came from the Ontario universities application centre at Guelph, he said. Waterloo enrols 4,000 freshmen each year, the third largest first year enrolment in the province. The UW senate, at its meeting this week, also recommended that a proposed 1977-78 budget of $80,425,700 be sent on to the Board of Governors. The board meets on April 4. The senate, in addition, discussed a response to the province’s secondary/post secondary, interface study and asked that an edited version be sent on to both ministries - education, and colleges and universities. The draft respon,se endorses the idea of province-wide skills testing of at least mathematics and English but only if the universities have the opportunity to help design the tests and only if it is clear they are not to serve as a unique admission criterion. The response also urges that discipline groups be established so that representatives from secondary and post-secondary institutions can discuss and enunciate common goals in curriculum planning. _ The UW response, developed by a committee of associate faculty deans headed by Dr. Jack Gray,
faculty of arts, is critical of the lack of attention given by the interface study to the year five component of the Ontario secondary school system. The UW response questions whether there is a need for the 837 year five courses that now exist, if the aim of year five is to prepare students for university.
Vasiledis third in Canada University of Waterloo wrestler George Vasiledis finished third in the 198-lb. category, in last weekend’s National championships, held at McMaster University Vasiledis competed in the junior category (20 and under). A freshman at UW, he competed in a heavier weight class during the OUAA championships last month, and finished a respectable fourth. Former wrestlers Egon Beiler and Tim Wenzel also competed in the bouts. Beiler, now competing out of Lakehead University, won the 149-lb. senior division crown, over a strong Canadian and American field which included Wenzel, who finished sixth. It was disappointing to both the spectators and competitors that the touring Iranian National Team, which had been scheduled to wrestle a series of exhibitions in Ontario., withdrew.
