Dr. Burt Matthews this week announced the appointment, beginning in September, of Dr. David Suziki, as Professor of Genetics in the Science Department.

The move was a surprise to everyone but a select few, because of the delicacy of Dr. Suziki’s

proposed University

move to Waterlob I-from his present position as Professor of British Columbia. For full details, turn to page 24.

since most faculties are empty during the summer.

Only Co-op students are on campus.

The point was raised that this would also exclude the new firstyear students vote. King responded that he was in favour of doing this since first-year students wouldn’t really know what was going on, anywa .

Dave MacLel 9an, former acting Federation President, who attended the press conference, criticized King; saying that the Paper did not outline all of the benefits provided by the Federation and that King’s criticism of the Feds was over frivolous points.

King crlticizeu LIK I- WCL ~LIUU for its inefficiency, citing. the Federation fieldworkers’ salaries as an example of what he considers wasted money. Their jobs, argues King, could be done by volunteer society members.

MacLellan pointed out that there are many social and political activities which the Federation provides ranging from the CC pub to housing concerns.

King’s answer was that the Federation should be concerned with nothing but student services.

He said that he didn’t like the fact that the Federation was political, and, as far as housing was concerned, he felt that landlords had a right to keep students out of buildings because students tend to be too rowdy.’

King did not run on a secession platform, and admits that the present Eng-Sot course of action was decided after he was elected. He feels confident, however, that he could force a referendum since the Engineers are the*

closest-knit group on campus.

If the Federation is weakened, either by the refunds or by the withdrawal of Eng-Sot, it is suggested that UW students will lose some degree of political influence in the community.

The Federation’s demands for better housing and welfare for students and its appeals against cutbacks are according to King, out of its realm’ of authoritv.

It looks %ke we will be faced with a referendum, and for most of the students on campus it could be a mail-in ballot. If students vote for the refund, this does not mean that the Federation will collapse, since the majority of students could decline from taking the money back. It is likely, however, that the Feds annual-budget of 250-thou will be somewhat smaller next year. ” Wolfgang Nagy

Jewish Doctor’s’ plot just prior to Stalin used anti-Semitism to suppress Czechoslovakia’s attempt to proceed along an independent road to socialism. One of the Stalinist gamI bits was the notorious “Slansky Letters should bo addressed to trials” in 1952 - it was no coincidence we “the editor”, Campus Centre 235, 4 that eleven out of the fourteen Czecho1 and must arriie by Tuesday noon of 1 Slovak leaders indicted were Jewish. each week.

(In this light, we can view the Russia’n invasion of Czechoslovakia in August, 1968 as a recent resurgence of the Stalinist design.)

The anti-Jewish policy of Russia today, as we can see, is an extension of Stalin’s anti-Semitism.

4.) Stalin “revised” history to suit his own purposes by actively repressing the extent of Nazi terror during the Second World War. Babi Yar is a glaring example of this.

Babi Yar was a ravine outside the Ukrainian city of Kiev, where the Nazis massacred two hundred thousand , enemies of the Third Reich. Stalin attempted to completely (and physically) erase the ravine (and actually succeeded on the third attempt; this was one of his posthumous accomthem. plishments as Babi Yar was not completely filled in until 1965) because he I think that, in recognition 01 the felt that any person who did not fight above, it is safe to conjecture that to to the death deserved to die in a conbe a Stalinist requires aJn incredible psychological makeup that allows one centration camp.

among many “free chevron” staffers.

One staffer, a right-wing moderate, has consistently verbally attacked his opponents, the “Fed-hacks”, using such epitaphs as fascist and “scumbag”, etc. They are fascist, he claims, because they are attempting to “mystify the students”, the implication being that “mystification” is synonymous with fascism. I once asked this individual where are the concentration camps that one associates with fascist regimes and he told me that if certain Federation hacks were in a position to establish such camps they would do so. I find this to be an incredible assertion. Even more amazing is that he has conveniently forgotten that Stalin, the idol of some of his buddies on staff, actually did commit the atrocities that he is sure that the Federation hacks would commit given the opportunity.

This person’s problem, though he is an extreme case, similar to the problem of Roberts and others, is that he has no well-conceived and’ consistent political analysis. He can only comprehend things with which he is directly involved with. Thus he has developed a sort of mental myopia when it comes to the true nature of his and some of his allies’ political goals.

What many moderates on staff fail to realize is that the AlAs sole aim is to completely destroy the Federation of Students, the “chevron” issue is only a means of achieving this end.

Once the Federation has been discredited, the AIA is sure that it can step into the resultant void and provide the student leadership required.

The AIA is not a moderate or reformist group. Any support for the AIA, conscious or otherwise, will help to destroy any possibility of responsible leadership on this campus. However, I must stress. that it is possible, as many have shown, to support the “freechevron’: without being a “dupe” of the AIA. At the present time, there exists no viable alternative to either the AIA or the Roberts style of government. The ‘recall Roberts’ strategy has as its only result the placing into “power” of the “,Campus Reform Group”, who are w&se than Roberts ever was.

Their leader (or should I say puppet?) appears to be a cowardly and unprincipled politician.

To describe Doug Thompson’s politics, I have not been able to find any word more euphemistic than “deceitful”.

Thus, I conclude that it is essential that we find a just solution to the present conflict so that we can begin the p!ocess of rebuilding and reshaping the Federation of Students. Solving the conflict will also enable the growth of responsible nonsectarian and democratic leadership to commence.

Grad Resigns LETTER TO THE EDITOR: re: booting out the grads from the fed of studs.

You can’t kick me out! I resign, retroactively of course. As of March 1, I wish to make it clear to the Board of Directors that I want out of your organization. . sincerely, J.L. Lee, grad student.

Gods’ Gonna Get Yah Letter to the Editor EASTER All over the world, people celebrate Easter. I also celebiate it. I believe that God raised up Jesus Christ from the dead. The remembrance of this act is touching for it shows the love of God who sent his S on to die for our sins. Jesus Christ was crucified for our sins, died, was buried and the third day rose again, according to the scriptures.

All the world can be friends with God again b ecause the blood of Jesus Christ cleanseth us from all sins. But we must believe in Him. What also happened at Easter is that Satan was defeated. Jesus Christ

shamed him openly by raising up from the dead. I also participate in this glorious immortality and wait to receive a glorious immortal body like Jesus Christ at the resurrection.

All people are promised eternal life if they believe. If they do not, they will receive God’s just punishment.

This is what Easter means to me.

No-one’s perfect The Real Chevron, Dear Sir: I wish to comment on a portion of the coverage of the March 24, 1977 Council Meeting (P.1, Real Chevron, March 25) which dealt with the Federation Bus problem.

The article is inaccurate in that it claims United Trails Inc., was going to court on March 25. United Trails went to court on March 18 for a preliminary hearing and the date for a later trial is yet unknown to the Federation of Students.

Secondly, the article states that Gray Coach lines was the plaintiff. This is not true. United Trails has been accused by the Crown for a violation of the Ontario Public Vehicles Act. In no way is Gray Coach directly involved in this situation.

I would suggest that if the Real Chevron requires an accurate account of the problem concerning the Fed Buses, they refer to the March 1.8, 1977 issue of the Free Chevron.

(P. 1) Yours truly, Don C. Orth Chairperson: Board of Co-operative Services.

Grads No More

.

On March 23rd. Federation Council finally changed its Bylaws to restrict full membership to those students who pay Fed fees of $13.75 per term.

The real result of this was to remove the graduates as automatic members (although non-paying).

In 1970171 the grads had a referendum, and voted overwhelmingly to ask the University Board of GovernorS to set up the Graduate Club as an autonomous organization with its own Board of Directors. The fees that the grads were paying to the Federation were terminated, at their request, and they began supporting their own organization with a non-refundable fee.

The Grad Club promptly asked to be relieved of membership in the Federation since they were now representing graduates in all affairs. The Federation never did get around to rewriting their Bylaws to cede to their request, but nobody really cared. ’ So from 1971 until now the grads (1200 full-time, 800 part-time) enjoyed all the privileges of membership without paying a cent for it.

They could vote in elections, sign recall petitions, vote in referendums and general meetings, and serve on Council as one of the two grad reps.

These reps have, in the past, been operating independently of the Grad Cl’ub, thereby “representing only themselves”.

Back in September the chevron affair blew up. Then a by-election in October for a grad seat yielded Larry Hannant. free chevron editor, through the bungling of the CR0 and Shane Roberts.

The Grad Club was not thrilled with the representation given by their reps John Lee and Hannant.

In November, the Grad Club Board of Directors asked the Feds again to remove graduates from membership.

Also not thrilled with the filibustering coming from Hannant, the Feds starting moving towards dis-enfranchising the grads.

The past Fed Council election in February found only two people running for the two grad seats, both free chevron members: Mike DeVillaer and Dave Carter. Reasons cited by grads for the acclamations were apathy and the realization that the Feds were getting rid of the seats anyway.

The Fed Annual General Meeting (March 1) was, as usual, a circus, attended by fed hacks, Engsoc. and the free chevron. All pa+Ges -were

going for adjournmeqt, knowing that rational d&isions cannot be made by a room full of hotheads. Unfortunately one motion was dealt with disenfranchising the grads - which failed 125 to 121. Some of those who spoke against “kick,ing the grads out” at the AGM felt that we should wait until the Grad Club Mebting.

Prior to the AGM the Grad Club had called a Special General Meeting to decide on whether grads wished to terminate their representation, to be held March 3rd. That meeting didn’t reach quor_u_m (only 63 are needed), lending more flame to the argument that the grads didn’t care about Fed representation.

Anyway, last Fed meeting we passed a new Bylaw that says that all full members become full members by paying Fed fees. This means that Carter and DeVillaer’s constituency shrank to zero members. and they couldn’t vote as- Councillors until they’d paid their own fees. Shortly the Federation Board of Directors will meet to redistribute the two grad seats, since it seems unlikely that enough. graduates are going to pay Fed fees to warrant any special representation, they will be represented through the existing faculty reps.

Naturally Carter and DeVillaer were upset. They told Council that the Grad Club was planning a referendum this summer on the issue. According to Nick Redding, Grad Club treasurer, 250 votes are required to make the referendum binding - yet the highest turnout in the longest while was 160 votes in the October election of Hannant. (John Lee and Hatz, eight months earlier, won with only 15 and 12 votes, respectively.)

Smylie at Council argued that there should be “no representation without taxation”.

We, the undergrads who pay the bills, should not be held up by the actions of “freeloaders”.

The grad reps charged that Council wanted to get rid of two of the free chevron supporters.

The free chevron’s delaying tactjcs in Council did indeed make Councillors upset, and probably turned the vote against them.

u Robertson Mistaken To The Editor; We would like to illustrate to the students of the University of Waterloo how “their” student newspaper is being run. In last Friday’s free chevron, on page 3 in an article by Heather Robertson concerning Wednesday’s council meeting, it says that Engineering rep. Wayne Bet-thin moved a mdtion “to reinstate the chevron and establish a commission of enquiry.” This is pure fiction. The minutes of Wednesday’s council meeting confirm that no motion to reinstate the chevron was ever made by\Wayne Bet-thin or any other rep.

To se> the records straight we dropped into the free chevron office and were summarily asked to leave.

We were accompanied from the offices by free chevries Dave Carter, Doug H\amilton, and Jules Grajower.

Once outside we discussed the matter further and they readily admitted that a serious mistake had been made.

Dave Carter was at a loss tb explain how Heather Robertson could have made such an error. Then he suggested to the others, “we should get someone to read these (articles) before we print them.” Is the free chevron so afraid of editorial controls that they have none themselves?

Later in an attempt to -clear up this matter, Heather Robertson explained how she had only read the first few lines of the motion and “logically” concluded that it was a motion to “Reinstate!

Investigate!”

The motion was in fact an amendment to a motion by Larry Smylie to clarify the objectives of an investigation into the chevron conflict. After explaining this to Heather, who calls herself an investigative reporter, she agreed that she should have read %he motion before reporting on it.

It would appear that even the free chevrics don’t read their paper in a serious context.

.

i, Th mpson N lost touch The Campus Reform Group was founded in late 1976, when the imminent recall of Shane Roberts and the dissolution of Council into a nonstop debate on the chevron issue made the need for a centralizing force on Council clear to certain councillors and other students. .

The first statement of objectives of C.R.G. gave its purpose as that of a forum where Councillors could meet and discuss the issues of the day more calmly than they could in a Council meeting and, after discussion, arrive at a concensus which would be brought into Council.

With the gradual recruitmerit of people who were not Councillors the idea of making the C.R.G. into an electoral group arse.

In January a meeting of the C.R.G., after electing two .co-ordinators (Wagar and Long), decided to run Doug Thompson for president and also to run a number of C.R.G. members for Council positions.

A semi-organized election- committge of Wagar, Long, Rorrison, Dillon, and Thompson sprang up to co-ordinate the activities of Thompson and the 15-2-O volunteers who wanted to work on his campaign (all C. R.G. members).

- Because the C. R.G. election effort was so well managed and intense with classroom speaking, leafleting, canvassing, two issues of posters, and because of the unpopularity of the free chevron, Thompson won.

The C.R.G. election effort in the Council elections was less intense but still extremely effective. All the C.R.G.ers who ran - Ron Hipfner, Bruce Mills, John Long, Steve Risto and Bruce Leavens - were elected and several other Councillors who had been considered

by C.R.G. as sympathizers were also elected.

So, after the Council elections the C.R.G. had 7 members of Council; Thompson, Risto, Mills, Leavens, Long, White, and Hipfner, and 5 members whom they considered sympathetic; Rokosova, Smylie, Armoogam, Higgs, and Byrke, giving them a working majority of Council. They also anticipated full control of the Executive Board.

Prior to the Council election - the probable members of the executive seemed to be Wagar as Board of Education, Dillon as Board of DickAll, Long as Board of Communications or Co-op Services and Hipfner as Vice-President (all C.R.G.).

By the time of the Presidential Elections, the policies of the C.R.G. had been at least sketched out, roughly as follows; no reinstatement of the Chevron, a strong orientation to work with the community to solve common problems, more entertainment and internal activities, and a strong commitment for the President to wo’rk with council rather than adhere to a strict division of powers. . Thompson, in the opinion of most of the C.R.G., has been very contradictory in his dealings with the free chevron - first negotiating then attacking and finally capitulating. They also feel betrayed by his isolation from Council and his refusal to heed their advice.

Recent squabbles, e.g. the almostfiring of real chevron editor R.B. Burton, have tended to deepen splits in the organization.

The splits in the group are complex but I’ll try to summarize them for you: there is a split between the more “parliamentary” members of C.R.G. and the few clustering around Thomp’son who are strong on Presidential power; There is a split between the people who believe in the C.R.G. as a “party” and those who see it strictly as a forum; and, of course there are the manifold differences around all- the actions taken

by Thompson on the chevrdn mess and executive appointments.

Of course, the members of ,the C.R.G. still tend to vote the same way in Council, but under the impact of the free chevron staff’s disruption of Council meetings and Thompson’s inadequate response to it, as well as the aforementidned splits, even that minimal teamtiork is breaking up.

Other than their internal problems the group faces several major

threats: the recall petition on Thompson which could spring into action at any moment and destroy their strongest voice.

UPSET To the real chevron: This is an official expression of disgust by WATSFIC (University of Waterloo Science Fiction Club). This is in reference to your article “A Basic Guide to SF” which appeared on page 5 of your March 25th issue.

WATSFIC wishes to point out that: 1) it is standard English to put the beginning paragraphs at the start of the article rather than in the middle.

2) the HUGO winners are selected by science fiction fans and the awards are presented at the WORLDCON. 3) MTichael Crichton, Richard Matheson and Norman Spinard are definitely not major SF writers.

4) Frank Herbert is not a “one-shot wonder” as he has written several good SF novels, as well as “Dune”.

5) Ursula LeGuin is not the only important woman in SF. What about Leigh Brackett, Anne McCaffen/.

Andre Norton and Kate Wilhelm to mention a few?

6) to classify Ira Levin as an SF writer tends to be bending the definitions slightly.

L 7) Robert Sheckly is spelt ‘Robert Sheckley.

8) two of the books which the article says VanVogt wrote, have their titles incorrectly spelt.

9) a basic guide to SF can not be given in <such a short space. Which is why the nameless author probably forgot to ment,ion ALDISS, ANDERSON. BRUNNER, CARTER, ASI MOV. CLARKE, DICK, DICKSON, ELLISON. LAUMER. FOSTER, HARRISON, LEIBER, LEINSTER, MOORCOCK, NIVEN, NORTON, POHL. ROBESON. SILVERBURG, SIMAK, STABLEFORD. WELLS, WHITE and ZELAZNY (to name a few of the many).

TO sum up WATSFIC believes that this poorly written and inaccurate article is not a “guide to SF” but is rather just a statement of the author’s personal preferences in a wide and varied field.

Third

Decade suggestions

by David Gillett A recent issue of the University of Waterloo Gazette asked for suggestions as to University operations into its -third decade. This essay was intended as a response to that request, but itgoes beyond that. Many of the suggestions do not pertain uniquely to UniWat; most are unlikely to be achieved within the ten years in question.

Several of the suggestions will have severe effects on our ideas on education and on universities.

Perhaps a good starting point is to define the purpose of the University; then we can proceed to suggest how this purpose can better be served. We dan promptly discard any notion that the University exists in isolation.

Emphasis is now being placed on the interface with the rest of the educational system, and in the near future we can expect scrutiny of the interface with society and the world as a whole.

In soliciting input for this report, I was told that the universities in North America serve three purposes.

Firstly, in the granting of degrees such as M.D., LID., etcetera, they serve as a licensing authority for professional service personnel, ensuring that such personnel meet basic minimal skill and knowledge requirements.

Secondly, the university is an institution of adolescene; both to contain prospective progressive elements of society and to further

\

indoctrinate students who feel they may have some personal worth into submission to beaurocratic authority.

Thirdly, universities q provide society’s required complement of intellectuals, thinkers, and scholars. These tend to be people who find themselves learning, studying, and thinking; those who are excess to society’s immediate needs are recycled into the academic sphere.

During the 1960’s, the Ontario Government used various propaganda to spread the idea of “Universal Education”.

Suddenlyexpanding technology created a demand for technicians; high school graduates had become almost unemployable on a life-time basis.

By 1970, the market was more than saturated.

Graduates with backgrounds which allowed them to question social conditions were no longer integrated into the structure. Faced with an abundance of over-qualified people, the period of disincentives began. University construction came to a virtual halt. Staff were cut back. Standards were raised to limit enrollment. Student aid was cut back while tuition was raised.

These have become facts-of academic life. Nobody expects the trend to reverse itself overnight.

However, in the remainder of this report I must assume that, without expecting miraculous recovery, the trend must not worsen.

Domino Principle The sense of suspicion and paranoia that has come about as a result of the WatergateCIA investigations has engendered a new breed of political These films usually thriller. deal with some mysterious “dirty tricks” organization that exists somewhere within the U.S. security network.

The results have been frightening and absorbing (Alan J. Paulka’s “The Parallex. View” ) fast and entertaining (Three Days of the Condor” ) and disPekinpah’s appointing ( Sam “The “The Killer Elite” ).

Domino Principle”, unfortunately, fits into the latter cateW-Y * The film revolves around protaganist Gene Hackman who is serving a twenty-year prison sentence for murdering his wife’s ex-husband.

At odd times he is *called down to the Warden’s office where two employees of our obscure organization (Richard Widmark and Edward Albert) ask him questions about his war experiences and attitude towards killing. They also offer to spring him from the pen in return for certain unmentioned favours.

Insisting that his cellmate (Mickey Rooney) go with him, Rooney is quickly he escapes. dispatched by the same people that planned the. escape, as is the lawyer Hackman contacts the next day.

After a brief reunion with his wife, in an exotic Mexican chalet, Hackman discovers that he is being used to assassinate a politician major American whose name we never find out.

Throughout the film, the contrast between our victimized hero and the organization he is forced to work _EQP is made painfully clear.

Hackman may be a jailbird, a one-time murderer, and -a brawler, but these people will think nothing of killing his friends, kidnapping his wife, and leaving their own men behind to burn to death in crippled helicopters. ..The, movie suffers from -pre-dictability, and cliches dealing

with love, insensitivity and vengeance that have become common in pictures of this sort. The atmosphere of intrigue and danger that might have made this a good film, is lacking.

There are several implausibilities that are hard to swallow.

We are to presume that this “dirty tricks” organization would go through the trouble to spring a convict from prison, furnish him with an exwife and, despite his rebellious attitude, use him as only one of the gunmen in a major assassination.

The villians of “The Parallex View” had a much more convincing way to recruit killers.

There are moments, however, in which the film succeeds in being genuinely suspenseful.

After refusing to participate in their evil schemes, the bad guys kidnap Hackman’s wife, shove her into the back seat of a car and drive by him. Seeing his wife’s pleading face through the back window, he tears off after the car on foot.

It comes to a stop. Just as he is about to reach it, the car accelerates and stops a little later.

They’ do this several times.

This sort of taunting gives the viewer an impression of absolute dispicability on the part of the enemy.

Hackman acts like a compassionate Eddie Doyle during his best moments, but, on the whole, he wanders through the film as if searching for better material.

Candice Bergen gives a mushy performance as Hackman’s naive, but not-all-tooplays it stupid wife. Widmark straight.

The only really effective piece of acting comes from Edward Albert as a snotty self-important organization man who is constantly reminding our hero that he is being used as “a i . pair of hands”.

“The Domino Principle” doesn’t say anything new. But despite it’s flaws, it should provide to be a worthy diversion if you’re in the market for a tough, cynical action flick.

STUDENT

EVALUATION

Currently, students are evaluated on a pseudo-scientific analysis of graded performance.

These evaluations are an artificial aspect of the academic system; Hoyt (1) demonstrated that there is no relation between graded academic performance and performance in “real” society. My own feeling is that this criticizes not so much the individual grading concept as the fraudulent evaluation of testresults to arrive at a grade.

A yea r-and-a-half ago, incoming math students were sent copious propaganda explaining “We’re all students here”; the roles of professors and tutors were explained as advanced students passing on knowledge to those newly arrived.

Maybe we can make this true ; discard the teacher-student ratio almost entirely.

Allow anybody to teach or take any course (teaching would of course require demonstrated competence), with a credit based on personal evaluation (an interview process might work) for completion of the course. Other courses could be taught via Waterloo’s COMIT (2) system.

Initially, several popular “option” courses might be offered experimentally on a credit-only basis For example, a course for which credit will be granted for submission of an acceptable essay and a successful interview with the instructor (convince him you know the material) with no deadline.

Coupled with precourse fees, this would encourage members of the community to take

part-time courses. A credit should not represent work completed or marks bestowed as understanding and knowledge acquired.

This will not, of course, replace structured degree programs.

Degrees earned in this sort of way provide graduates sounder both in knowledge and in attitude towards knowledge than the current system.

NEW CONSTRUCTION An important requirement is new space for EMS Library and/ or Computer Centre facilities.

While most people seem to feel that one should retain the current building and the other receive a building of its own, increasing computerization of libraries may dictate their proximity.

Video storage technologies will, in the near future, make it practical to make large amounts of library material available on machine-readable storage accessible from remote terminals. .Another priority is the use of energy .- and materials - efficient technologies to provide lo w-ren ta1 housing in the “North Campus” area. Besides alleviating the perennial shortage of student accommodation in Waterloo, and demonstrating leadership in fighting a major problem of contemporary society, this would give practical \experience to students in a number of fields: architecture, planning,, engineering, sociology, etc.

DISTRIBUTED

EDUCATION

The most exciting concept encountered in this report is the “Storefront Campus”.

Individual course credits and fees (see above) and remote access to library material (also see above) suggest that a storefront operation in a

the real chevron

- page 5

downtown or remote area can be successful.

A typical “storefront” operation might involve half-a-dozen faculty members, an administrator, a secretary, a COMIT (2) terminal, several other terminals (at least one with hard copy) for access to library materials and, computing facilities, and a lounge area. A good initial location might be the Kitchener Public Library ; additional possibilities are Fairway Mall, Waterloo Public Library and downtown Cambridge (Gait).

A program such as this might be seen as a logical extension of Waterloo’s eminently successful Correspondence Program.

It becomes increasingly necessary that the University must come to the students, rather than viceversa.

CONCLUSIONS The most basic choice ahead for Uniwat is its role in the community. We can choose to continue .as we are; apparently, a government institution imposed upon a community with which it has miniAlternatively, mal interaction. we can significantly change university education at Waterloo, and try to make our region and maybe even our planet a better place to live. \ FOOTNOTES / ( 1) Hoyt, 1965 analysis of 46 studies relating university averages to success in “real” life printed in “Educational Re. cord”, Winter 1966.

with the chemistry of sugars not the ordinary sugar you put in your coffee (though he has, in fact, found a synthetic way to make that sugar) - but “modified” sugars which occur in antibiotics and other useful chemicals.

As .used in antibiotics and other drugs, t&se modified sugars, many of which contain nitrogen, are helpful in the treatment of a variety of diseases including tuberculosis, streptococcal and staphlococcal infections, typhoid and cancer.

Dr. Fraser-Reid’s particular contributions in this area have involved finding new ways to prepare these complex compounds and their analogues from simpler sugars at modest cost.

In recent years he has been involved in using sugars as the starting materials in the preparation of insect sex pheromones (sex attractants).

He has a grant from Environment Canada for research which may- eventually help us control a beetle population that attacks valuable timber (pine) trees in Northwestern Canada-. His work may also help us control the elm bark beetle that has been spreading the Dutch elm blight in this part of Canada.

The common, yellow-flowered rock garden plant called *‘stonecrop” contains a particular modified sugar, sedoheptulose, which he thinks might be useful as a starting material for making the sex pheromone for the elm bark beetle. He is currently looking for funds to conduct this research.

Dr. Fraser-Reid notes that it is essential that sex pheromones be available in the “optically active” form. Building them from sugars makes this possible.

“Common sugars, such as glucose, are one of the few naturally occurring compounds that allow us to prepare these chemicals so we can be sure they are optically active,” he says.

Of late, Dr. Fraser-Reid has

Fraser-Reid will receive an honorarium of $1,000. He will also present a lecture on a topic of his choice at the annual conference of the Institute.

He regards the award as a tribute td his graduate students and collaborators as much as to himself. He also feels it is a tribvte to the efforts of Dr. W.A.E. “Pete” McBryde, UW chemistry department chairman, who “has done so much to keep the department afloat and to keep me personally encouraged. ” Dr. Fraser-Reid f&s particularly gratified that the award is to a member of the Guelph-Waterloo Centre for Graduate Work in Chemistry (GWC’), an organization which combines the chemistry departments at both Waterloo and the University of Guelph.

“This is one more indication of the worth of the research under way in-the Centre,” he suggests.

In years past the chemistry departments at both Guelph and UW have been subjected to some criticism and this fostered the formation of GWC’, which is rapidly becoming internationally renowned for its breadth and excellence.

been receiving wide recognition for his research accomplishments.

He recently gave invited lectures at Yale, UCLA and the California Institute of Technology.

During the winter he lectured at five Maritime universities, on a special tour sponsored by the Chemical Institute of Canada.

In a month’s time he will be leaving on a tour of the United Kingdom and France, sponsored by the Department of External Affairs; he will be giving lectures at Cambridge, Oxford and the University of London among other universities.

In July he will be returning to Oxford to present an invited paper to the symposium on synthetic organic chemistry.

Born in Jamaica, Dr. FraserReid attended Queen’s University in the late 1950’s and completed his PhD at the University of Alberta in, 1964. He then spent two years in the laboratories of Sir Derek Barton (Nobel Laureate, 1971) in London. He joined the Waterloo faculty in 1966.

.Reed- suggested Story & photos by jim e. Watson Forty concerned University of Waterloo students marched with 120 other labour and student representatives on Saturday in London, Ont., to protest Reed International sponsorship of the art show “Changing Visions - The Canadian Landscape”.

The local Ontario Public Interest Research Group (OPIRG) joined in the informational picket with members of the London Greenpeace Foundation, Hamilton and London OPIRG, the Coalition Against Mercury Pollution, The Artists Guild of Ontario and - the sponsoring London & _xDistrict Labour Council.

The art show, which has toured Canada and the United States for the past year, opened for the last time on Friday at the London Public Library and Art Gallery.

Sponsored

by Reed Paper, the show has been met with demonstrations and informational pickets in every city where it has appeared.

“The demonstration is to draw public attention to the Reed relationship with the environment, ” said London OPIRG representative Jim O’Reilly.

According to a study on mercury pollution, Quicksilver and

Slow Death, Reed International, through its Dryden operations, dumped an estimated 20,000 lb. of mercury into the English-Wabigoon River system and ‘lost’ an additional 30,000 lb. between 1962 and 1970. This brand of industrial pollution is now poisoning natives in N.W. Ontario the report states.

Indians in the area who eat large quantities of fish taken from the river system are susceptible to increased mercury consumption the paper says. Small amounts of methyl mercury can cause mercury poisoning known as Minimata disease. Minimata disease causes numbness in the extremities, tunnel vision, speech disorders and psychological changes which can lead to muscle spasms, general paralysis, deformity, coma and eventually death.

“Someone is going to pay if children are born with deformities,” said N. Andrew Rickard, chief of Grand Council Treaty No. 9. “We have been silent for 300 years but now speak out. ” Rickard has been pressing for government action on the mercury problem and on the granting of timber rights to Reed which include an additional 18,000 square miles of virgin black spruce for-

to r&cycle

est in N.W. Ontario.

Rickard has asked for an inquiry into the expansion and Premier Davis has appointed Justice

Patrick Hartt of the Supreme Court of Ontario to chair an environmental hearing into the Reed proposal.

“We have two choices - run or remain,” said Rickard.

“We are going to be there. Wounded Knee is going to look like a picnic.”

One hundred and fifty protestors marched on an informational picket line outside the London Public Library Art Gallery, last Saturday, to draw people’s attention to the mercury pollution throughout Canada.

What are the leisure trends in modern industrial societies? What are the social and human implications of post-industrialism?

What is the role of culture .in modern societies?

How much money is spent each year in Canada in support of the arts and how is it parcelled out among poets, composers, painters, etc? What is the impact of Wintario grants in Ontario?

Would interest in the various crafts such as weaving and pottery be fostered (supported) and if so, what’s the best way? Why is there an upsurge of interest in culture and cultural development these days? Does the notion of “cultural planning” square with artistic freedom and the pluralistic nature of Canadian society?

These are just a few of a wide range of questions that concern a new group on the University of Waterloo” campus.

The group is

called the Research Group on Leisure, Cultural Development and Human Potentiality and it is concerned with research into such things as: how people spend their spare time, why do they paint pictures, or buy paintings, or go to art galleries, or concerts, or ballets. Or, why do people get involved in little theatre groups, or choirs. Or for that matter, why, when and under what circumstances do they prefer to go to movies or rock concerts, or stay home and watch TV. “The fact that we have leisure time creates problems,” says Dr. Jiri Zuzanek, chairman of the new Research Group, “but the people who have been researching these problems be they recreation peopsychologists, ple, sociologists, philosophers, fine arts people, economists, geographers, or what have you, have tended to concern themselves with them in a fragmented manner. ” “The idea behind the new Research Group is to bring some of these people together to take an inter-disciplinary look at the prob-

lems. The, long range goals would be to try to find some kind of consensus as to what society’s major trends and goals in the area of leisure and recreation are, and to understand them better. ”

The main focus of the Group is within the Faculty of Human Kinetics and Leisure Studies, but Dr. Zuzanek hopes it will attract people from a wide variety of disciplines within the campus. Eventually, he hopes, researchers from nearby institutions such as Wilfrid Laurier, Guelph and possibly Western may be attracted to it too.

Dr. Zuzanek, who came to UW a ’ couple of years ago (from the University of Western Ontario) is keenly interested in the sociology of culture. He has a cross appointment in the department of sociology. Dr. Zuzanek is a Czech. Prior to coming to Canada he taught in universities in the United States and Sweden and at one time worked as research director of the UNESCO-sponsored European Centre for Leisure and Education, in Prague, Czechoslovakia.

He feels there is an urgent need for Canadians to re-examine their cultural objectives at this time.

In a number of ways, Canada seems at a cultural crossroads and thus there are several directions in which it could move.

Culture.

“It is important to take a very broad look at what our various cultural researchers have been finding out and integrate and crititally evaluate their work,” he says. “We need some new consensus as to where we want to go, and how, and when.\’ He feels this evaluation should include input from those who produce culture as well as those who study it. And it should include pop culture as well as the “high” arts.

UW’s Research Group on Leisure, Cultural Development and Human Potentiality is still in its formative stages and Dr. Zuzanek says he will welcome interest from all parts of the campus.

“Right now,” he says, “our main purpose is simply to bring people together. ” Over the past winter the Group began doing this by organizing a series of seminars which brought a number of notable researchers to the campus.

A major undertaking at the moment is to organize a special conference, the first of its kind ever held in Canada. It will take place April 18-20, on campus, and will be called the “Canadian Conference on Social Research and Cultural Policy.”

-’ It is expected to bring to the campus a number of distinguished Canadians with an interest in culture and cultural policy, including: Arnold Edinborough, Prof. John

Meisel, @.reen’s University; Paul Schafer, York University; Yvon Ferland, Statistics Canada (cultural division), and Dean Gerry KenYon of HKLS. World renowned experts from Sweden, the United Kingdom, France and the United States will also be attending including: Stephen Mennell of the University of Exeter, who has been involved in large scale research on European cultural policies ; Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, of the University of Chicago, and Augustin Girard, from the French Ministry of Culture.

There will be five major sessions and four special ones, the latter dealing with: (1) economics and the arts, (2)‘popular culture, (3) how people spend their leisure time, and (4) amateur participation in culture.

“The latter area is rather interesting in that we know so little about it in Canada,” says Dr. Zuzanek.

“Though we can document the cultural contributions of our professional composers, painters, novelists and so forth we don’t know too much about the untold thousands of amateurs.

We _ don’t know what they are producing, selling or buying, or what amateur participation means in terms of gratification. ” He hopes the conference will provide guidance to future culture researchers and decision makers.’

vices this week of what appears to be a small epidemic of Sphincter worm.

“The first reported cases appeared back in September, but the number of cases in this term has r ris-en dramatically,” said Dr. D. Thompson, - M.D. (Malpractise Defendant) head of Health Services. + The actual cause, said Dr. Thompson, is unknown, although they have noted that the cases reported have a history of eating most of their meals in the Campus Centre Cafeteria.

The Sphincter Worm, he said, is very similar to the very common tapeworm, in that it lives in the intestinal tract, The difference between the two, however, according to Thompson, is that, while the tapeworm lives in the colon, extracting the nutrients from the partially-processed food of the host, the Sphincter Worm lives in the Sphincter muscle controlling the anal opening.

“At times”, said Thompson, “the subject will be constipated for weeks at a time, unable to rid himself of his bodily wastes. The next moment, he will have an overwhelming attack of diarrhea, such that the victim will have the urge to continue passing waste when there is no more to pass.”

The metabolism of the worm is a mystery, to science, said Thompson, since it is the only known organism that can live entirely off material that other organisms consider fetes.

One interesting trait concerning this parasite, according to Dr. Thompson, is that it prefers room , to grow. Because of this, the worm is prevalent to what can be termed only as “the biggest assholes”.

Dr. Thompson could not say as to whether an out-sized number of the cases reported were members of campus political groups.

In an arbitrary and undemocratic move, members of the fed executive led by Doug Thompson locked the real chevron staff out of their offices in CC 225.

Thompson’s actions resulted when he found out that the real chevron staff had been investigating him, and the possibility that he had been using federation funds to pay his living expenses.

The real chevron investigating committee estimated that Thompson had been ,,skimming approximately $160 per week from the federation-the conclusion was reached when it was discovered that Thompson had cashed checks made out to himself and signed by himself for a total of $960 in the last six weeks.

He also said he had been talking to people from the head offices of campus underground publications (CUP), and CUP had agreed to support the real chevron in their struggle to continue publishing since only one more issue was scheduled. Burton feels CUP will probably have adequate financial reserves to support the paper.

Presently the real chevron staff maintains an occupation force in the office and can be found defending “Freedom of The Press” from 12: 00 noon to 230 am every day of the week except when they aren’t there.

HKLS plans . sink again -

Hopes were high following a recent government approvalof the plan to erect a Health, Kinesiology & Leisure Studies (HKLS) building on the north campus of UW. Those hopes were rudely dashed this week, when Seigmiller Construction Company, the holders of the building contract for the complex, saw much of their preliminary work, and several thousand dollars worth of equipment swallowed up in a sinkhole.

Local geologists called in to examine the. phenomenon explained that the ground upon which the building was to be erected was in ‘a condition of “quick clay”, due to the spring melt waters that put the clay particles in a colloidal suspension.

In that condition, the ground will sustain weight, but a strong vibration will loosen the clay particles sufficiently to offer no support.

The clay then becomes “quick”, and acts exactly the same as “quick sand”.

This condition, however, will not necessarily mean the end to plans to erect the building.

‘E.G. Seigmiller, head of’ Seigmiller Construction, said, “We’ve had government contracts before. Although we submitted a tender for this job, stating the amount we would do the job for, it does not mean that we will lose money, nor does it mean that the government will call a halt to the project.”

What it does mean, he explained, is simply that the construction will cost more than originally planned.

“The area will have to be filled with cement to whatever depth is necessary to provide some sort of foundation for the original construction.

The geologists report that the quick clay condition will probably be a recurring condition every spring, which means that the complex will, sink a bit every Year.

Eventually, however, the bottom will find bedrock, and the subsidence will stop. ” ‘l’he condition is comnlica ted by the fact that one section of the are is rapidly disappearing in to w I at the experts can only ’ assume is some sort of underground cavern.

The result is the sink hole, which is, for lack of a better example, like a whirlpool on land.

To fill this subterranean cavern, Seigmiller estimates that total costs for the project may increase by as much as five times the original estimate of $5.2-million.

Suziki has been at UBC for 12 years, and is internationallyknown for his work on genetics.

What may turn out to be the most detailed and diabolical plan of all time to gain public office was uncovered by two surreal chevron reporters this week, following a break-in of the office of University of Waterloo Psychology Professor, Doug Wahlsten.

The two investigative reporters Wormwood and Bar-nstorm, uncovered papers and tapes that seem to indicate that the AntiImperialist Alliance ( AIA) , who have never published a membership list, and the Campus Reform Group, (CRG 1, who have likewise never published a membership list, are, in actuality, one and the same organization.

The tapes, of secret meetings held last summer at an unknown location, contain voices of people identified by voice prints as Federation President Douglas Thompson; then - Production Manager of the Chevron, Neil Docherty; former Renison staff member, Marsha Webber; Federation Vice-President, Ron Hipfner ; Hardial Bains, Chairman of the Communist Party of Canada More or Less (CPC-ML); along with Dr. Wahlsten too.

The subject of the many meetings recorded revolved around plans to put Thompson into office, with Hipfner as his Vice,

liked the campus and students when here earlier this year with his wife, for a talk in Arts Lecture 116, all indications seem to point to the fact that the deciding factor in his move is Dr. Matthews’ willingness to allow him to progress to new levels in his studies on genetic manifestations.

Up to now, Suziki has worked exclusively with fruit flies ,in his research, because of the rapid reproductive rate of the insect,

and at the same time increase the membership of, and, support for the AIA. The plan involved getting former President Shane Roberts to close the campus student newspaper, the Chevron, as a result of the threat of a Communist take-over resulting in a campaign for “Freedom of the Press”, which many people can quickly identify with, because of the familiarity of the phrase.

The ensuing commotion against Roberts and his eventual recall by several of the present Chevron staff, supporters of the AIA, headed by third-year Arts student and former Council member, Mark Wills.

In the following Presidential elections, normally scheduled for the first week of February every year, the students must be made so tired of the entire affair, the plan went, that they would refuse to turn out to the polls. The idea of the low turnout was to prevent the establishment of any sort of strong backing for a legitimate candidate, who might seriously affect the growth of the secret society on the UW campus.

To counter-attack strong’ antiThompson feeling, the plan was to run any two candidates against him, to split the vote.

which allowed for speedy examination of traits passed on to succeeding generations.

However, after a decade of working with the insects, he now wishes to see how his findings relate to the human organism.

“What I hope to get”, said Suziki, pictured here being treated to lunch at the Matthews estate, “is a group of human volunteers, preferably students, since they’re so much easier to work with, to undergo similar

The tapes, and supporting documents, show that part of the plan was to have Docherty and Chevron news editor, Henry Hess fired, on the grounds that they were members of the AIA. Docherty agreed to this, when offered reimbursement from the CPC-ML and Thompson, in addition to the Unemployment Insurance Premiums that he would automatically receive.

Although Thompson was a student at this time, and had to meet similar expenses as any other student, he was also employed by the Federation of Students as a half-time Field Worker, earning his salary by surveying other students about housing, busing, and drinking coffee.

In addition to this, he pulled in an undisclosed amount each week from his private enterprise, the Math Coffee-and-donut stand.

Once in the President’s office, Thompson would further increase the support for the Chevron position, and cast serious doubt on the credibility of the Federation by single-handedly proposing .conflicting offers to all and sundry.

To increase the credibility of the Chevron, documents showed, a series of newspapers would be

experiments as we have conducted over the past ten years with fruit flies.

“The subjects, being young, will be healthier than any we might find in the general public, plus their educational and general background will be more readily available from the various departments right at the university.

“The only fear that I have, which might upset the progress of the experiments, is that the

set up by the Federation to show the warped minds of the individuals in charge, and their sexist, racist, and fascistic way of thinking.

At one point in the tapes, Thompson said, “With close to a million bucks going through the Federation every year, there’s enough in this for all of us, plus we’ll have the entire campus to run by ourselves, as long as we make the closing of the paper messy enough that Matthews (University President Burt Matthews) doesn’t interfere.”

The ruse was to continue throughout the term of office, according to the recorded discussion, by establishing constant rumours of recall petitions similar to the -,one to be used to re-call then - President Roberts, but never circulating them for signatures, or else circulating them sporadically, and never turning them in.

On a second tape, Thompson urged those present by saying “Once I’m elected, we can virtually stay in control forever, and every year have a campaign to ‘Re-elect the President’. ’ ’ There also seems to be some indication that the AIA is working in conjunction with the Jewish Students Association.

subjects might become emotionally involved.

Emotion is the great enemy of science.”

He had suggested similar experiments at the University of British Columbia, but there was much opposition from certain segments of the public, following the leaking of the plans.

“There was a great outcry from the local abortion groups, on the grounds that women in- ‘volved in such experiments would be bound, either legally or morally, to carry any offspring until birth.

This, they felt, deprived them /of their rights’ as human beings to make their own choice concerning their preg’nancy, since they could not elect during the nine months to terminate the pregnancy prematurely.‘l According to Suziki, all indications seem to suggest that a great number of potential subjects attend UW. “All indications seem to suggest that a great number of potential subjects attend UW,” he said.

As of the moment, there have been no arrangements as to the location of his office or laboratory space.

But, considering the nature of his experiments, it has been suggested that he set up his workshop in an area close to his most likely subjects, so as to make them more readily available for day-to-day study.

For this reason, it was suggested that room be made available in Village 1 or 2.

He stresses that the experiments will be very rigidly controlled, such that an ac&rate record can be kept of the genetic history.

“The last thing we need” he said, “is to have one of the female subjects go to the pub some Saturday night, and screw up the experiment. ” ’ Oscar
