’ Meszaros y_ granted entry vis-a

(CUP)-Istvan DOWNSVIEW Meszaros, the Marxist professor Canadian immigration authorities tried to exclude from a teaching post at York university on the grounds he was a “security risk”, has apparently won his eightmonth fight to live and teach in Canada. Meszaros received word january 5 that he had been granted an entry visa to Canada. He had returned to England december 29 after being in Canada fighting his after case since September Manpower and Immigration ministerRobert Andras had assured him he would personally review the case. Meszaros will return to Toronto january 20 to begin teaching political philosophy at York. Meszaros came to Canada in September to force the government to open its files on the case. Immigration authorities declared him in the country illegally and he was ordered deported by the Immigration Review Board while Bryce Mackasey was still minister of Manpower and Immigration. The case received international attention and academics arqund the world rallied to support pressure, Meszaros. Under Mackasey promised to personally review the case if Meszaros returned to England. Meszaros refused because- once out of the country he would have lost his right of appeal. Mackasey then withdrew a conditional offer to allow Meszaros to stay and teach at York for one year only. The case. is notable -for the question it raises about the review process in the immigration department. If Meszaros had not come to Canada, Paul Copeland, speculated it was his lawyer, highly unlikely his case would have been favourably reviewed. And by using the “security risk” label, the government was able to blanket the flimsiest of evidence in secrecy, and use it as a club to which Meszaros had no defense. He had no idea what evidence the charge had been based on. Rumors floated that he was a Russian spy and at one point, Mackasey’s executive assistant Zarie Levine told a newspaper reporter that Meszaros was “I IO golden-haired boy ’ ’ . Meszaros has filed a libel suit against Levine. With the help of NDP MP Ed Broadbent, also (a member of York’s political science department, Meszaros contacted the new minister, Robert Andras. ’ In a telephone call december 24, Andras told Meszaros he would honor the promise of his predecessor to review the case. Andras reportedly told Meszaros I 10 grounds existed for his exclusion from Canada. The government wouldn’t intervene in

Andras said, and the appeal, Meszaros had all the benefit of all possible routes of appeal. The statement in effect guaranteed that the government wouldn’t issue a security certificate. The certificate would have prohibited the appeal board from opening the security risk issue. In that event, the board would have been forced to settle the Meszaros case on a strict question of law without any humanitarian considerations. In appeal cases a board ruling can be humanitarian reversed on grounds. But more important, Andras’ statement is seen by observers as proof the government had no grounds for the original charge that Meszaros was a security risk. In September Meszaros said he thought the label came from some Canadian immigration official in London who seemed to think all Marxists were security risks and bomb- throwers. Meszaros fled Hungary in 1956 when the stalinists regained control after the abortive uprising that year. He was a noted civil rights advocate in his homeland and served as an assistant to the cultural affairs minister in the short-lived revolutionary government. He went to Italy and then to Britain where he later became a British , citizen without any problems. While teaching at the University of Sussex he was offered a position at York and resigned. But when he applied for landed immigrant status in Canada while still in London, Canadian authorities there refused and the battle began. York university officials played a very low-keyed role in the dispute. York president David Slater sent telegrams to Mackasey but left the bulk of affairs to arts dean _John Saywell. When the original refusa&-of Meszaros’ landed immigrant status a.pplication arrived in late June, Saywell sent Meszaros a telegram offering one year’s salary as settlement, plus an offer to help Meszaros get his old job back at Sussex. York originally agreed to pay Mcszaros his salary although he wasn’t teaching, but stopped payment in October and froze the bank account. At that time Mcszaros couldn’t touch the money since he could be charged with being illegally employed if he did. Meszaros’ lawyer, Paul Copeland said the eight-month court and legal costs would come to about $8,000, which he hoped to collect from York university. In a similar case two-years ago, York picked up the tab for the entry fight of Gabriel Kolko, noted critic of American foreign policy and now a history professor at /York. _

debate was the one surrounding the budget proposals to be made to the senate next monday. Brian Switzman and Shane Roberts put forward five proposals to be considered by council, and passed on to the student representatives on the senate. Four of the five suggestions were accepted by council after rather lengthy and at times circuitous debate. The first proposal addressed itself to the issue of the $100 fee increase levied by the university and the provincial government. Suggesting that the increase be rescinded for the year 1973-1974, it was felt that the loss of revenue could be covered from other sources. In addition to the reduction of fees, the federation proposed that a committee be set up to experiment and investigate a programme of student awards for the part-time student body. The funds for such a project would be comprised of a $50,000 grant from the university and at least an equal amount from the department of university affairs. As far as the accessibility of revenue in lieu of the reduced tuition and expenses of the parttime student programme is concerned the council felt that the approximately $1.6 million maintained as an insurance against unforeseen drops in enrolment could be used in this area. Also, it is to be proposed that the salary of faculty in the $14,000 bracket and above could be frozen for the next academic year.

Another source for operating wealth that could be made available to the university is the presidential mansion at Westgate Walk. The fourth proposal accepted by council was that this piece of property be sold and the estimated $125,000 received be put back into the university budget.

It’s/ -Bill, Davis1 and the reg,ional g&i&h .

Regional government became fact in Waterloo op January 1, 1973. As an Ontario government approach to the overlall provincial ,structure and economy, regional government supplies an opportunity to view the political pr.ocess as it develops a new level.. This article examinesthe system from the top down, it’s initial local effects and the need for further investigation.

Once again, the Big Blue Machine of Bill Davis has beaten out its message to the province of Ontario. Business is business and government is just another management job. -The- bbject is an efficiently running province, one in which the middle class will be satisfied, taxes will be lowered, industry will be encouraged and the Conservatives WY be re-elected. . Dav& has recently been ‘called “a riorthern George Wallace” by University of Toronto history professor Kenneth McNaught. Writing in the Toronto Star, McNaught states, “. . .we are turning back fast to the seamy side of Ontario conservatismia kind of businessman’s socialism paid for by the ‘tax-concerned’ public for the advantage of a private enterprise sector which has failed to develop either eff& tive enterpreneurs or adequate technological expertise. “Some people are criticizing the Davis budget cuts and other policies as ‘planlees’ This is far from the truth. The ‘plan’ is also too evident: subsidiiation of the pi-ivate sector of our economy, to be paid for partly through cutting private enterprise in on public-service operations (like Hydra) and partly by cutting back expenditures on potentially ‘equalizing public services such as health and education.” (Hydro will soon be made into a crown corporation, if Davis has his way, to give it increased “independence”, or, as McNaught says, “less open to legislative scrutiny. 1 It would be wrong to presume that Davis has anything to win out of these manouvers other than the likelihood of continued -Conservative power in Ontario, support from the middle class and industry and the associated benefits now being enjoyed by Leslie Frost and John Robarts. Davis is’s modern politician of the first order and should be respected as such., In line with the development of the Davis approach to education, economics, health and citizenship is the newly introduced and as I rapidly instigated regional government scheme. The scheme involves the establishment of yet another level of government in areas from the Ontario-Quebec border down into Windsor. In effect, the plan lays the groundwork for, a highly industrialized, densely populated, mirror image of the American industrial belt from Chicago to Buffalo. Each region will share the philosophy of the system and will inherit it’s own particular type of the over-all model. Waterloo Township Regional Government will develop ramifications peculiar to this region and yet in line with the over-all model. To begin with, the regional scheme will mean the amalgamation of some “essential services”. The police forces of all of ‘the cities, towns and villages of the region have been made into one. Formei+ Kitchener Police Chief Wilfed Henrich is now ‘head of the 330 man Waterloo Region Police Force with central dispatch located in the Ahrens Street-Frederick Street complex in Kitchener. The morality and detective squads will centrally locate in Kitchener with an increase of officers in both divisions because, in the words of one official, “there’s a lot of work to be done.” Less desk work is anticipated in the new system. Henrick has ordered officers to write reports in their squad cars instead of coming into the office. The chief sees this as . a vehicle to allow more cars to be in the field

all the time apd to encourage brevity. That it may also elicourage rush and lack of concentratioli does not seem to bother the Chief. Efficiency is the byword of the new system. The Planning Boards of the region -are now under one roof also. Headed by former Kitchener Planning Board Chairman Bill Thompson, one of the men behind the Kitchener downtown development schemes and sighted by many as the man responsible for much of the Oxlea affair, the department will co-ordinate the development of the region. There ’ is‘ a big job ahead.. .especially in Cambridge where industrial disparity particularly in the Hespeler region, is seen as a problem by some, a blessing by others. While many would like to see Hespeler remain low industry, others see only caches of\ in,dustrially designated land. It seims a matter for great public debat;! but then Thompson has never been much for that. Says a member of the Kitchener Parks “Bill Thompson has got it all department, sewn up. He knows what he’s doing. Nobody’s going to tell him what to do.” And perhaps Thompson does. He’s been Kitchener planner for a long time and certainly has a knowledge of and interest in the community. But the sting of Oxlea still lasts. Unification. plans continue among the 13 electrical commissions (PUC-Hydra) . An Ontarid’ governemnt task force recommended that a regioanl system be d&eloped for Hydro in a November report. Local officials seem to prefer amalgamating some units (-for instance those in Cambridge where the Galt, Hespeler and Preston systems still operate separately) or adding a regional board to oversee local operations. The two tier scheme is closer to the provincial concept of one regional unit, but not all the way. It is, perhaps,a resistance to the provincial plan to construct a corporation to run Hydro. By the way, the man to watch in the development of this area of government is Williqm Srhith, vice chairman of Waterloo Hydro and chairman of the recent joint meeting on hydro system amalgamation. While Cambridge sorts through and eliminates, accepts and re-writes the old bylaws of the cities of Galt and Preston and the town of Hespeler, other by-laws become regional. Taxi cab licencing is one example of a jurisdictional area that will become regional. Other schemes have been put forward. Roger Freeborn, computer services director for Kitchener has suggested that the Waterloo region could save $350,000 annually with a centralized data processing centre. Already the computer handles the issuing of welfare cheques in Kitchener and the storage of information on overdue traffic tickets, property, tax and water records. Freeborn suggests it could also help police in filing information on criminal a&&ties. He feels more hardware is necessary already, “. . .$25,000 to $30,000 a year and quadruple the. capacity”. And should electric< bills be issued by computer, even more machinery would be needed from IBM. A veritable communications empirb in the offing, eh, Mr. Freeborn. The whole process is at one time a forced abeyance of the Tory Machine of Big Bill Davis and an attempt to make the bdst of a questionable thing. Even the KitchenerWaterloo Record hints at discontent. In an editorial on December 27, “Not waiting to-‘be prodded”, the Record applauds the county of Oxford for submitting a regional plan to the Ontario governmant before the government at Queen’s Park submitted one to Oxford. Underlying the editorial is the feeling of slight jealousy and admiration. “From hard-won experience in Waterloo we can warn our neighbours in Oxford that the road to re-organization can be prickly, and strewn with millions of words of argument.

They should find it more comfortable to the Cambridge birth and regional travel, however, if they continue to move amalgamation. Waterloo South *MPP Allan under their own power, without prodding by Reuter told the Cambridge council that he’d Queen’s Park.” been all for regional government for 10 ’ That Queen’s Park prodded this area is no years since his time as mayor of Preston. surprise although from the sound of the “I’m very pleased to see the realization of Record’s December 30 editorial, “Back something I’ve been advocating for many under one roof”, the public should not have years,” he told the first meeting of Camto know the ugly realities. Says the Record, biidge city council Monday night. He then “the change will affect people in many read a congratulatory telegram from practical ways. If someone in St. Agatha Premier Bill Davis. wants to report a theft he won’t call the It’s clean up, paint up time throughout the Ontario. Provincial Police, he will call the region. The city of Waterloo and its Waterloo regional police. . . Everyone who universities have announced a new pays property tax will find his tajr bill friendship, patching up old animosities and altered in style and many will pay to a new all that. The businessmen of Kitchener feel tax authprity.” That’s the list, according to that 1973 looks strong, despite inhibiting the Record and excepting local changes like welfare and unemployment schemes.

WINNIPEG (CUP)--The university of Manitoba Faculty Association wants to make U of M Canada’s first English-speaking university with a unionized teaching staff. The association has asked the university board of governors to recognize it as the collective bargaining agent for U of M’s 1,080 full-time faculty members. It wants to be able to bargain not only about salaries and working conditions, but over -university spending priorities. Faculty association president, professor Jonas Lehrman charged that the rapid growth in the university’s student population over the past 15 years has resulted in “the development of a centralized administration which has grown remote from the faculty.” The administration growth is “out of all proportion to growth at other universities, not only in just size, but in power.. . they’re stronger here than at any other university in Canada,” he said. As examples of misplaced priorities Lehrman cited the 26 per cent cut in research grants last year and the low budgetary allocation to the library, while administrative costs were one of the highest in Canada. University president Ernest Sirluck has denied the charges, claiming adminstrative costs declined last year on a percentage basis. The faculty association has asked theboard of governors to ‘decide whether to grant voluntary recognition by february 1. If the board refuses recognition, the association will take its case to the Manitoba Labor Relations Board. Lehrman said about 75 percent of the faculty members belong to the the association and that organization has oollected signatures from “a good majority” of the faculty to support its request for recognition.

sauna’. After a gruelling two year struggle’ between the campus women .and the administration a victory has been scored against sexism on campus and the longawaited woman’s sauna is in the process of being built. _ The history of the -struggle is somewhat revealing. Several years ago, women and men directly involved withthe athletics building, academically or through sports, were each given the choice of having some ‘extra’ piece of equipment. Though everyone at the university - pays a j sizable athletic fee (it’s set at $15 at present), the minority that were consulted decided that in_.--_the case -_.

are not innocent bystanders but have a moral responsibility to the farm workers who make it possible for them to sell their fresh fruit and vegetables ,” he said. In Los Angeles, a consumer .group has formed to follow up ‘reports of violations of wage and price controls, false advertising, and excessive fat content in meat in Safeway stores. So much for moral responsibility. The boycott of the chains comes less than a week after a decision by the Inte-rnational Brotherhood of Teamsters to renegotiate lettuce contracts signed with growers in 1970. The Teamsters have also decided to start a drive to organize other field workers despite jurisdictional agreements with the UFW. With most of the grape contracts that were signed with the United Farm Workers coming up for renewal soon, the outcome of the lettuce boycott is crucial. If the lettuce growers are sucessful in keeping the United Farm Workers out of the fields, the grape growers may decide it is worthwhile not reopening negotiations on their contracts. The Canadian government is presently prosecuting Canada Safeway Ltd under the anticombines legislation for allegedly maintaining monopolies in Calgary. and Edmonton.

A handy-dandy guide to senate ’ elections and related phenomena or . How to eat a sixcourse dinner and stay hungry! by John O’Grady, student

senator

Yes, it’s true. Join the expectant crowd gathering now for the’ second annual election to that learned body administering the academic interests of the people; our own. severely revered Senate. ’ What’s the Senate like? It’s funny. Off-hand, the first two impressions, one gets are tie illogic in the thinking of our ‘greatest minds’-your profs and mine; and the ineffectiven@s of students in policy areas. The former is a tremendously

the chbvron

elections upcoming fascinating study since it is an absolutely insoluble problem to predict the content of the next comment. The ineffectivene’ss derives essentialiy from the lack of time multiplied by the volume of material taken to the nth power of faculty paranoia. Documents on financial matters containing up to five centimeters of unnumbered pages have been doled out. Reports come from various committees that a student can hardly hope to comment on without a fairly intimate knowledge of the complexities of all programs at the university. For example, is it in the student’s interest to alter the residence requirements for a Master’s degree in engineering? Are the thirteen new graduate courses proposed the only ones that should be considered? Information on such questions is often unavailable or inacessible. Nevertheless, one derives a certain psychological boost from having, a theoretical influence on such matters. It’s an ego trip. Edification of the self-image is further enhanced by the prestigious and rarely afforded opportunity to _ make the acquaintance of the really big shots of the university, up to and including the PRESIDENT. The Senate, needless to say is big time. The paranoia of some faculty members is - sporadically manifested. Consider the lengthy debate on the question of student input in departmental and faculty constitutions. Steve Gregory, in the motion which initiated his resignation, proposed that two

thirds of the students affected by the c’bn&itution be considered adequate to veto its approval. Most faculty opposed it because the constitution in the department

~~~:~“o~~~~~~~e~~~~~e~~ Council --

approve it ai the departmental 1level because there are students on Senate now. Still, how can faculty fear a proposal which requires the united force of- two thirds of all students to have any effect? . Oh ‘yes; -for the impoverished student, unable to afford a cookbook, a feast is offered at the commencement of the term to facilitate meeting one’s colleagues. Although it consists of the six full courses required for the label, Czar’s Banquet, it stretches over a refined two and a half hours of elega’nt dining, allowing one to leave w‘ith a comfortably unreplete belly. If the preceding has tempted you into aspiring to the rarefied heights of senatorial office, read on folks, for I shall now tell you how to reach that pinnacle of power. Al that is required is -first to be nominated and then to go from class to class tiith a five minute rap about the Senate or yourself or even the cosmos, to allow your constituents to see and-or talk towith-at you. It works, and more important, touches all the students in a semi-personal way, perhaps even motivating them into thinking about things aotind them here and I IIOW. It is a pity that so few people are ~ interested in the Senate. This is not _ because we are missing a golden opportunity to restructure our way of life, faculty at our side. Quite the contrary although some professors can be considered allies, the preponderance of opinion lies elsewhere. However, the Senate is an excellent forum to graphically illustrate the values underlying the university’s operation. Besides, it’s fun. So roll up, roll up for the magical mystery term. It’s just starting now.

drawn after fears of campus chaos were voiced by the council. Other business attended to by council involved a discussion on the state of the BSA budget, and the direction that this branch of the federation will take in the future. Faced with a rather prominent fiscal loss, a total of $8,327 to date, BSA has decided to cancel all pubs as a first step. After some rather deep investigation into the economics of running a pub, it was discovered that even if the pub is fully attended and the b_ar sold out, it is impossible to break even. The intricacies of such a system in-

volve the costs for bar services and security, and, at present are unavoidable. The budget proposals to be placed on the floor of the senate should, if nothing else, generate some interesting debate, and provide some enjoyable theatre. However, one wonders whether similar action will remain a part of the student body on this campus, with some within it feeling sympathy for a president living within a $100,000 home’ purchased with money taken from the students’ pockets. -john

at recluse method of study, and became as chimerical in her conclusions, as she was unintelligible in her style and manner of delivery ; and, indeed, what could be expected from men who never consulted experience in ,any of their reasonings, where alone it is to be found, in common life and conversation?”

Drop oust tells why Came across a zerox copy of a letter I wrote a while ago- thought it might be of interest to print in not because I wrote the chevronit, but because of what I was trying to say... since leaving university, “dropping out,” my feelings about philosophy 100 and schooling in general have remained the same.. .I’m a little closer with myself than I was before...a never ending process.. .it was something I was looking for at university.. .I should have known better.. .I guess _ what I really want to do is let other people know they’re not alone- as I once felt in wondering what education is all about. I found it hard to recognize my- doubts and about formal frustrations education when pitted against a massive sprawling, million or billion dollar campus, for ,who could have spent all that money on a failure? \eleanor Brad Munro Dept. of philosophy June 27, 1970 Dear Brad: I have been delaying and wondering if - I write a letter of criticism of your philosophy class, how on earth would I write it so I would not offend you as my last essay seemed to do. I just happened to be going through some things when I came across the following quote, I think from Hume and was originally scalped for my essay that never came to be. In reading the quote over again, it hit that this quote nonme intentionally explains more precisely how I feel about education, in general and my earlier critici&% our philosophy class : “On the other hand, learning has been as great a loser by being shut up in colleges and cells, and secluded from the world and good company. By that means every part of what * we call ‘belle lettres’ became being _ totally barbarous, cultivated by men without any taste for life of manners, and without that liberty and facility of thought and expression which can only be acquired by conversa tion. Even philosophy went to wreck by this moping

Earlier I had tried to explain to you that I didn’t want to deny the learning of a process of argument; what I objected to was .$s form, meaning if I am goin to learn how the motor of a car functions on an up-to-date car, I would like to learn on a motor of a modern car, not the engine of a model T. I feel the analogy of the engine is analogous to the candle explanation ’ of one of the philosophers. Maybe I have to be presented with an example related to my experience and thus be presented with an intermediary example. This is where my experience, interest and enthusiasm are. It is at this point that I as a student, and I think other students, would like to be approached. I feel for any kind of significant learning to take place, one has to know the learning relates directly to the self and thus to the experiences of the self, eg., your example of the Black Panther material. It is this kind of curiosity or vested interest that allows the substance of what is to be learned to integrate itself with experience, which is self. At the point of integration the symbolic “light bulb” turns on. I don’t mean to preach for I tend to turn off with sermons. About the non-existant essay, I was very relieved to find out I didn’t have to write it; I honestly didn’t and don’t think I could have composed a good one. I also had the feeling that if I did write one I would be bullshitting my way through it. I haven’t checked this letter for points in accurate logic. This letter expresses the way I think and feel, be it logical or not. Maybe I should be looking at this letter and use it for a starting point for understanding and practising logic. / \

immigrant, one must now go through a Canadian immigration office outside the country. In , Europe there are 88 immigration offices. In India there is one. The ’ Caribbean has two. Africa has none. As a smokescreen to its bungling of the unemployment problem, the government has promoted racist feeling against immigrants, spreading the lie that these “illegal” residents are stealing all the jobs. Pure bullshit. Planeloads of coloured immigrants have been turned back. Bonds have been taken. Harrassment is commonplace. This is what we were protesting. On the night of Wednesday, january 3, people from Waterloo, Kitchener, and London braved the freezing rain to meet at the United Church on Frederick Street. From here, 17 people travelled in two Volkswagons and a Datsun to Bathurst United Church in Toronto. Awaiting our arrival were over 100 people organized by the Toronto Branch of the Committee Against the Racist Immigration Policy. Three chartered buses left the church at 1 am and arrived in Ottawa around 7. Marchers walked in a wide circle in front of the main entrance of the ’ parliament buildings-shouting slogans against the government’s policy, carrying signs decrying racism, and holding banners asking for fair treatment for people who think highly enough of Canada to want to live here. After an hour on the hill, we broke up to eat and petition on the streets of Ottawa. Our petition against the racist immigration policy has, been signed by many people including Charles Roach, Toronto civil rights lawyer; Sikh Society president Q. S. Grewal; U of T chaplain, Eilert Frerichs; U of T math prof Peter Rosenthal; and David Crombie, mayor of Toronto. We were back on the\hill by 1 pm. This time the Mounties had put up barriers so the bulk of us had to parade on a lower level of the steps. We had more support in the afternoon-favorable response to our petitioning and leafletting. The military band and troops came to entertain us and governor general Mitchener came by to look everything over. Unfortunately, the band blocked his view of us so we had to hold our signs up over the band’s heads. Also we had to shout louder because the band ’ impolitely started playing as soon as the governor general showed up. This was the high point of the demonstration. We went to show that there are many people who are not sucked in by the government and that many people are suffering needlessly. We went to bring the problem out in the open-to make people aware. If you have read this, you are at least aware that a problem exists. If you want to become involved, or want more information on the Committee Against the Racist Immigration Policy, phone Marg at 743-2743 or Steve at 8846851. Please help. Steve smith plan 1

As- those who study the shifting organization of decaying empires may recall, the record coop was more or less created by myself last year around this time. Now, having obtained recognized status via this printed page, my opinions will proceed to dig themselves into a trench and prepare for battle. This letter concerns the circumstances described in an article on the record co-op which appeared on the front page of the december 8 issue of the chevron “Council raps co-op” the headline announces. Fundamental to the creation of the record co-op was some sort of and clearly the need “need?, (purpose) for the record co-op which I perceived is different from the need that the federation sees. (I am only acting on information

transmitted to me through the above mentioned article, so objections on the grounds of incorrect premises may form a line to the left of the main argument.) I say unto you: The record co-op is there to help people, to give them a better deal on “their” music, to reduce the immense profits made by unscrupulous persons in the record industry and business. The rule is that now workers must be paid two dollars an hour, instead of the previous work-ashift-for-an-album remuneration plan.. But whither, who is dissatisfied with the previous set up? Certainly not the- people who volunteer to work there, -as there are more persons who want to help than there is need for. And why is it now necessary to pay the organizers forty dollars a week where none was paid before? The prices on records are going up-upup: it may soon be less economical to buy records at the co-op than at a commercial record store. (perhaps that is what somebody wants and pressure is being applied-who knows?) So my point is thus: do we want a business in almost every sense of the nasty word with all the implied consequences of consumer rip-offs, etc., or do we want something better, wherein the <buyer can be sure that as few people as possible are taking slices of his money pie? Money. What is this thing that grabs at our feelings (humanity) ? How does it make us so impersonal (dog-eat-dog)? If eyes could only see... .

It is liberal in tone with a hint of arrogance that does not suit the number of facts presented. I would suggest that the author in question research more before stating his case in a university newspaper. and that he refrain from the wishy-washy, disinterested approach to his topics. Also, he obviously did most of his research in the Kitchener Waterloo -Record, the paper at which he directs most disdain (sic). If you don’t like the heat, get out of the kitchen.

Security - stranglehold Burt Matthews annouced earlier this week that he did. not, think that past federation president Terry Moore’s idea of having students as bouncers at pubs was feasible. Moore wanted to replace the $7.50 per hour campus cops with student bouncers who would be paid $2.50 an hour. This way the students would benefit by employment and a saving of fifteen dollars an hour per pub. When Matthews was further queried about the fact that in the operations book it states that a security force is required.at pubs but makes no mention of how this force is to be appointed, he stated that it would be terrible if an “unfortunate incident” at one pub cancelled the possibility of other pubs. He did not think that anything could go wrong at the pubs with Romenco’s security men present. The fact that security sometimes does not attend pubs with the contingent of two officers, did not enter Matthews mind. It appears that students are still considered children, unable to control themselves as far as pub security goes.

2, Corporate conttbl of \ the media Freedom of the press, like free enterprise, may have existed in the past, but in corporate society it has simply become another convenient myth. For example, just before the First World War there were 138 daily newspapers in Canada-and there were 138 publishers. In 1953 Canada had only 89 newspapers and 57 publishers. By 1966 there were 110 newspapers and 62 publishers. Today, 14 publishing groups produce more than twothirds of the country’s 116 dailies. In terms of circulation, the 77 dailies controlled by these 14 groups account for 3,514,354 copies or 77 per cent of total Canadian daily output. Three groupsSoutham, Thomson, and FP control 45 per cent of total circulation. This tendency towards concentration can be, explained in terms- of simple economics. The bigger a newspaper’s circulation, the lower its per unit costs. For example, average annual cost per 1,000 columns in 1968 for a newspaper with 10,000 circulation was about $1.60, whereas the comparable cost for a newspaper with 250,000 circulation was about 45 cents. This means ‘that a smaller newspaper must raise 3% times as much revenue as the larger one. Hence, advertising rates will be 3% times as high as well. Another significant fact is that only 10 cities in Canada have more than one daily newspaper. Of these, Vancouver’s two dailies are published by one corporation owned by two newspaper groups. Moncton and Sherbrooke have two dailies but they are published in different languages. In essence, only seven cities have “competing” newspapers. In English Montreal this competitiveness can, of course, be symbolized by the intense debates going on between the Star and the Gazette. If one looks at ownership patterns in terms of the Star and the Gazette, we see they are part of large financial concerns whose interests go far beyond publishing. The Montreal Star is owned by the McConnell family, whose financial empire was built up by J.W. McConnell and left to his children. The family also owns the I Montreal Standard Publishing Company (MSPC) which owns Weekend Magazine and has a 24.7 percent interest in Perspectives and Perspec tives-Dimanche. Weekend is a supplement in 39 daily newspapers with a combined circulation of 1,805,839. Perspec tives is a French-language supplement published in six

Quebec dailies with a circulation of 828,430. Perspectives-Dimanche is distributed as part of Le Dimanthe-Matin, a weekly with 290,000 circulation owned by the DemaraisParisienFrancoeur group, owners of La Presse (discussed below in detail). As printer of Weekend, MSPC competes with Canadian Homes and the Canadian Magazine, owned by Southstar Publishers Ltd. (controlled 50 per cent by the Toronto Star and 50 per cent by Southam News, the latter also owning the Gazette.) In late 1969 Southstar announced its two supplement magazines would be published by MSPC. Also Southstar and MSPC have established MagnaMedia Ltd. as their joint advertizing sales agency and market researching company. The Star’s McConnell family owns 88 per cent of the shares of Commercial Trust Company which is held by the Montreal Trust Company with an agreement granting voting rights to J.S. McConnell and Mrs. P.M. Laing during their lifetimes. The Commercial Trust Company, in turn, owns the Montreal Star (1968) Ltd. and &PC, as well as Canada-Wide Feature Service Ltd. and Infocor Ltd. as a trustee for Starlaw Investment Ltd. Starlaw is owned by SLSR Holdings Ltd. (previously known as St. Lawrence Sugar Refineries Ltd.) a different corporate entity than that which publishes the Star. As the Davey Commission on the Mass Media sums up “The circle is completed with ownership in trust by the Commercial trust Company of virtually all the outstanding shares of the companies that control Starlaw Investments-SLSR Holdings Ltd. and Montreal Star Holdings Ltd. The Commercial Trust Company is the registered owner of the shares of these two companies as the sole trustee on behalf of the descendants of the late Mr. McConnell. The Gazette is owned by Southam Press Ltd., a public corporation with no single interest greater than 3.6 per cent, but effectively controlled by a large number of shareholders related to the Southam family by birth or marriage.. In 1969, the company’s revenue was $104.7 million and its profits $8.07 million. Apart from the Gazette, the company controls 11 daily newspapers with a combined circulation of 849,364, or 18 per cent of total Canadian circulation. In addition, it holds minority interest in three other dailies, and a 50 per cent share in Pacific Press Ltd.

which publishes the FP-owned Vancouver Sun and the Vancouver Province, part of the Southam group. Southam wholly owns the Financial Times of Canada, a national-weekly business paper. In this field, Southam produces 35 trade magazines and 15 industrial annuals through its wholly-owned subsidiary Southam Business Publications Ltd. In 1970 Southam also purchased National Business Publications of Gardenvale Quebec, thereby gaining control of 14 other trade and professional journals. Through a number of subsidiaries and holding companies, Southam has invested in printing operations, radio stations, television stations, cable television systems, television programming, commercial production, record companies and trade shows. The third English-language daily. of Quebec is the Quebec City Chronicle Telegraph, owned by none other than Lord Thomson of Fleet. The Thomson group’s interests in North America are vast, with revenues of $92,861,0OOin 1968 and a net profit of $9,107,290. This represents a 57 per cent increase in profits over 1967 and a total gain of revenues amounting to more than $42 million. The company owns <3O dailies in Canada representing a circulation of 400,615 or 8.5 per cent of the Canadian total. The company also owns 11 weeklies in Canada-and 42 daily weekly and daily papers in the US and publishing interests throughout the world. For example, in England Lord Thomson publishes the Sunday Times and the Times of London. ( The three chains-Thomson, McConnell, and Southam-own 97.5 per cent of the daily circulation of English-language newspapers in Quebec through the Chronicle-Telegraph, the Star and the Gazette. This is not considered monopoly, of course, because ownership is in the hands of three separate corporate interests. As mentioned above, Southam

owns 50 per cent of Southstar Publishers Limited and is linked to ’ the McConnell family through the Montreal Standard Publishing Company (MSPC) and Magnapp?c&j. The French language press in Montreal is as equally controlled by large corporate chains as its and its major non-subsidiary English counterpart, with one companies include Consolidates exception-Le Devoir. Le Devoir is Bathurst and Northern and Central the exception which proves the Gas. rule. Its independent editorial Desmarais, Parisien, and policy (it was the only paper which Jaques Francoeur also control Les came out unequivocally against Journaux Trans-Canada Ltee. the War Measures Act) testifies to Desmarais owns 46.6 per cent, the inter-relation between Parisien owns 15.56 per cent and ownership patterns and editorial Francoeur owns 33.3 per cent.

Canadian University Press can now lay claim not only to being the oldest national student organization of its type in the world, but also to having the potential (if only structurally) of being one of the only viable alternate press networks in existence. Although historical records of CUP prior to the fifties are almost non-existent, it is known that in 1922,. a Western Association of Canadian University Newspapers was founded, primarily for exchange purposes among the four members from B.C. and the Prairie provinces. Then, in 1938, at the instigation of the National Federation of University Students, Canadian University Press was officially founded at a gathering in Winnipeg. ’ With financial support from NFCUS (and later, its successor, the now-defunct Canadian Union of Students) CUP weathered its first inconspicuous years with a rotating system of executive papers that looked after records and co-ordinated exchanges of papers and stories. In 1951, CUP had an annual budget of $2,000 with one permanent officer, a treasurer, and 22 campus members. At this year’s annual national conference (the 35th) which concluded last week in membership rose to unWinnipeg, precedented levels with the admission to full membership of 15 new papers. There are now 48 universities or community colleges represented in the CUP co-operative family as well as 6 members of what is commonly called ‘the alternate press’. The ‘73~‘74 year will see a projected income of $32,280 funnelled through the organization’s national office in Ottawa, which is now run by a staff of four people elected annually at the national conference. There are also four elected and paid executive members who function as fieldworkers outside the national office. With the ever-increasing membership, *finances and personnel of the organization, the services offered to members have correspondingly increased and been refined. The simple exchange of papers (with full reprint rights) continues to be an important link for the far-flung campus journalistsof this country. As well, the Ottawa office (CUPOTT) writes, compiles and or coordinates a thrice-weekly news servicetransmitted by mail or telex,,depending on the finances and wishes of the individual member paper-and a feature service; sporadic and sometimes of limited value, but still a useful if too-infrequent addition to many of th.e papers’ feature files.

One of the more important programs evolved over the last four years has been fieldwork. Four of the eight national officepeople are fieldworkers-three regional (Western, Ontario and Atlantic) and one national. These are the people who visit member papers for several days once or twice every year. They are - usually experienced paper people who can offer help and advice from anything to hassles with student councils to newswriting to design They are CUP’s trouble-shooters, liason officers, and public relations men. They sleep on floors, and eat in cafeterias, become wellacquainted with the country’s bus, train and plane schedules, and generally have a much more interesting time of it than the bureaucrats who remain in Ottawa to pound out the news service and look after the books and files and machines. Rapidly rising in importance to the member papers since its inception three ‘Christmases ago, is the national advertizing co-operative, Youthstream. With offices located in Toronto and three employees, the function of this group is to sell the student newspaper market to national advertizers. Because it centralizes the bureaucracyof insertion, billing and so on, and offers reduced rates on package deals involving greater numbers of CUP papers, it is able to increase member revenue-in some cases substantially. Youthstream allows the massive advertizing business of the big corporations access to the student market without the hassles of locating and doing business with numerous .hard-to-find and inexperienced ad or business managers. But, back to the student press as alternate. Much of the history of CUP and the process of its development lies in the records of its national conferences and the legislation originating therefrom. In 1959, both the Charter of the Student Press in Canada and the CUP code of ethics were adopted. These set forth a more-or-less

nebulous political and social framework for the student press which has been altered through the years as events and processes changed the consciousness of student journalists, 1965 saw the Charter, now the Statement of Principles altered to contain the statement: “The major rde of the student press is to act as an agent of social change,” examining “issues that the professional press avoids”. .This was a formal and official statement of purpose (on paper anyway) approved by the majority of member papers represented at

that year’s conference. It envisioned some sort of alternate role for the student press as the watchdog of the established press. Two years later, reflecting the upsurge in student radicalism, the rarified atmosphere of the marathon week long Christmas conferences sparked long, heated debates which relegated (unfortunately not once and for all) objectivity in journalism to the proper status of ‘myth’. The use of “unbiased” in the Code of Ethics similarly was abandoned in favour of “fairness”. Two years ago, sexual bias was added to racism as counter-progressive prejudices to

e avoided in the pages of all member abers. It was at this conference held in a eautiful small town church camp in B.C. that was decided to create a special memership category for alternate members, with minimal fees. The original intent behind the move was r~nari’ly to acknowledge the infant anadian alternate and underground press s sister media and a vaguely parallel evelopment in the broader community in pposition to the bourg&is press. The tructural inclusion of this segment of the alradian media was meant to extend a elping hand to the alternate papers from le more technically experienced and better nanced student press.

Six Alternate members were admitted to full There are 34 university votingstatus. members, and 14 community college members. In addition, there are eight prospectivemembers, papers who are checking out the organization and its services for a minimal fee and which, in the normal course of events, will become full members in a year or. two. ’ This then has been a brief and necessarily simplified sketch of the history of Canadian University Press with a similarly brief look at some of the theory and political development behind the current state of the co-op. And now for a fast peek at the reality. Theoretically then CUP is a co-operative. Each member is an equal part of the whole. But each member is only the people who work on that particular paper. Most of them are volunteers, Most of them are students. Few of them share or even interpret in the same fashion, the lofty sentiments of the Statement of Principles and the Code of Ethics. Many of them never think of CUP except as filler copy that comes in the mail, and bills that sometime accompany itexcept for the conference and postconference annual upswing in interest and co-operation. Most of the time, CUP is a few people, with some experience in journalism, working their asses off in hopes of contributing to the development of a viable and radical alternate press in this country. Some of these people work in the national office, more on the papers scattered across ten provinces, and even a few at Youthstream. These are the people-a minority of those

involved with CUP through their paperswho provide the leadership at the conference (and what there is of it throughout the year). They are usually the more ‘political’ ones, more experienced, often more articulate; the people who discuss, argue, debate, analyze; the ones who look at the world and see the need to find a way to change it. And because these people are involved with journalism, they focus their efforts on the press. They use the established press generally as a standard not to be emulated. Because they are young and to some extent protected by their ivory-tower university environments, their relative financial security, and the nature of their readership; they have much more leeway for creative experimentation with form, content, design, style. Large newspapers are in effect large businesses. Profit-making comes first-and newspapers are a profitable busi’ness for those who own and control them. Inside the paper, that usually means a structure built for efficiency-the biggest return for the least expenditure. Student journalists contend that this drive has resulted in a standardized, uniform style of writing-a formula which can supposedly be applied to any situation without damaging the quality of information supplied to the reader. A writer, is allowed to make decisions on what he writes and how only within very narrowly defined limits. The professionil writer must strive for the nebulously defined ‘objectivity’. In doing so, he must deny his own social history, biases, the fact that the selection of ‘facts’ for presentation, their ordering and wording are subjective choices he makes every time he sits down at the typewriter. This is so even while the necessary ‘professionalism’ limits the choices he or she is allowed to make. The young journalists who often play key roles-in papers like the Chevron feel that this

Daily,

technique has everything to do with efficiency and little to‘do with accuracy and fairness, or even truth. Campus papers do not face the same strictures. Financed by grants and operating solely on a loss-basis, writers in this medium have a freedom unavailable to the ‘professionals’ to develop standards for style and content unaffected by the directors of corporate entities or the heads of journalism schools. Yet the specific pr.oblems endemic to the student press at times ‘provide almost insurmountable barriers to the theoretical and practical development of a sucessfully alternative mode of newspaper communication. 5 For many papers, scarcity of money is built into the paper’s structure by student councillors who do not place a high priority on grants for their paper. Few papers have student fees pool from which to draw the size of that of U of T or UBC or even U of W. The majority of CUP papers run entirely on voluntary labour. Their staffs are students carrying normal course loads who work on, the paper in their spare time. While many try to strike a balance between competence and responsibility and the time required to acheive them; the price of occupying an .editorial position is too often the sacrifice of the academic work. Few papers can afford to ’ pay their staff members. In addition the cyclic flow of people into and-out of campus papers seldom allows them to stultify into rigidly maintained patterns, but it also too-frequently precludes continuity and the productive passing on of experience and technical expertise. .Ideally, and according to the CUP Code of Ethics, campus papers are democraticallyrun instruments for education and information-open to participation from the readership and full of dynamic dialogue, creativity, and political social consciousness. Pretty ideals but seldom practical reality.

The god of dance is alive

fridtiy,

In the december first edition of the chevron, I reviewed the noon hour concert of dances choreographed by company members for perform,snce in Theatre of the Arts. Some company members, especially mademoiselles Sandre Stark and Donna Lee, misinterpreted my description in a letter to the editor one week later. Seeing that missesstark and Lee have initiate@ a dialogue, I find it good taste to reply. The major concern of the dancers was the “logic” of my review. The fact that during the actual presentation of the dances, I was working as a technician on cues behind stage, brought some doubt as to the legitimacy of my claims. I hope therefore to clear up the misunderstanding. The proLess of the review took on the following structure. I made my preliminary notes while watching the technical and fulldress rehearsals> from the audience. However on the day of the concert, chance happened to bring a frie’nd, a professional actor, who has mastered Graham technique to a fairly high level of competence and who has received a better than average training in ballet. It was his dinner conversation that evening, I decided to submit my provisional review to the chevron. Independent of my own views and knowledge that I was writing a review of the program, my friend made observations and criticisms identical with my own. As such I did not feel my role behind scenes was an initial disadvantage on the day of concert. My greatest unhappiness however is the ‘misunderstanding company members have given the original intention of the review. Since the issues I was addressing were overlooked, I will amplify them now. I was arguing by description of criticism what some faculty have fought for in principle: namelv, that studio classes in technique must be credited. But how is that? It is not plausible to give physical skills the same status as an academic credit. Although ballet technique requires “motor learning” and “physical conditioning”, the mastery of the body is not an academic achievement, nor should it be. Granted, most dancers‘ follow a syllabus of dance. Some studenits everi apply compulsive rules for the perfection of their technique while mastering the syllabus. However the study of dance as a kinetic experience iS not a scholastic or mental accomplishment. If students in the honours dance program want credited technique classes, one -alternative is to persue a certificate instead of a degree in dance. It is possible to

“certify” the competence of a dancer but it somewhat challenging, but why not try? is not certain what the scholastic import of One positive action is- to abolish comskills acquisition would mean. position classes and Substitute additional As a person inter&ted in ,the classical technique classes at all levels. If we were ballet (and modern dance when it is well really honest witH ourselves, we would performed), I am especially concerpd admit that (modern dance) composition about the maintenance of technical classes promote nofhing more than standards in the company. The langu’age of amateurism. Essentially this was the dance is a language of- movement. The pivotal point of description in the.original requirement of a dancer is the mastery of l review of the fall concert. However, most female students insist on the value of his body. Therefore just as the university sets standards for research and theoretical unstructured dance. To you I point out (as I investigation, so also modern dance . in suspect you have been too witless to academe must measure up to a “fairly notice), a modern dance technique class is high” level of proficiency. It is naive to nothing bore than dn improvised comargue for ‘a professional standard of position class, especially modern dance of the expressionistic tradition. The difference technique in a university dance education. between a technique and composition class It is not the place of a university fo produce not professionally trained dancers.

An academic course load The calibre of the honours dande frustrates the ‘requirement of mastering a kogram and the reputation of the resident technique, which for a professional dancer is six to eight hours a day. Also, except in <company therefore demand a serf-critical rare instances as part-time faculty apattitude regarding present technical guest artists, standards and the means of achieving pointments or resident profesional dancers are unlikely to be atthem. If we do not set a criterion concerning tracted to the academic community in the our personal development as dancers, the first place. The calculated rationality and consequence will be fourfold. 1) Modern intellectualism of university life provokes dance in academe will become nothing the emotionality and sensuality demanded more than an arty calisthenics in physical of a theatre art. education departments. If this is the case Against what standards should a then, why not simply say so? Educators of dance are not required to obscure or gloss university company be assessed? The least dance. It ‘is doubtful that a a performing company should aim at is a academic kinesiology of beefstrings and gas balloons semi-professional standard. As it happens, most members ,presently in company are could evolve a total theatre experience. From -the viewpoint of an audience, the well within the scope of achieving a semiillusion of the dance requires the command professional standard anyway. Granted, the limits of one dance studio and the tight of “stage presence”. Since an arty calisthenics is less sophisticated and less schedule for class time make the project

effectual than the rigors of the classical ballet, it might be wiser to keep modern dance in physical education and give the classical ballet a home in the drama department. 2) Modern dance in academe will become nothing more than a cult of ‘pseudointellectuals and academics, creating a self- . important intellectualism about dance. This consequence is most dangerous of all‘ because thk real demi-gods; the self-made professionals, who have lived their lives as a dance, will not be recognized and given their proper place in university education, because they do not have ‘facademic degrees”. 3) In view of the immature status of ,dance in Canada, dance education will attract zany American show-bizz types. The brides and bridegrooms married to the collective mediocrity of third generation modern dance, will overpower the decisions of Canadian choreographers, retired as performers in theatre. 4) A distinctive theatre of dance in Canada will not emerge. The criterion for the birth of modern dance and ballet in Canada is to reject the collective amateurism of third generation modern dance in America. It is time that we Canadians shake off our national habit of self-deprecation’ and humility. Our national inferiority complex in the performing arts is as impressive as the aurora beaurealis. Never has there been the potential tr accomplish so much in dance, and never has there been so little thought about it. If Bruce Hutchison has anything to say, it may be that we (Canadians) are really f,illed with fire, ,poetry and laughter which we have repressed, thinking them inferior to other peoples’. I am not trying to be a nationalistic radical, because I recognize too well that an art form can grow only with the contributions of outsiders. My argument is not to protect Canadian dance from “the American”. My point is honest. Canadians lack self-admiration but it is time to become authentic@ly e&ag& if we are to see the survival of a Canadian theatre of dance. To the young ladies who insist that a dance studio is the place to “discover yourself”, a good psychiatrist .or existentialist novel is remedial. To the young ladies who believe a dance studio is a substitute for one’s erptic life, the prosthetic should be self-evident. No long& can the dance be considered a divertissement at a lady’s tea party. It is true, you and I have not always been in agreement intellectually. However my interest in the dance follows from a theory of art and dance which is my own. Therefore, so far as it goes we should not take our differing aesthetics too personally. I believe dance education has a place in the university, but its present foundations must be fostered with a healthy skepticism. As for the spring concert, my wager is ,that we all will learn from the fall program. There is a kind of “ruthfulness!’ about the seasons. They often change to our advantage.,

reached the top From a strictly musical point of view success is often the worst thing that can happen to an artist, paPticularly if they are not prepared for it. While John Lennon has been perhaps the most vocal concerning the negative effects of instant stardom, these can also be seen in the careers of sukh early burn-outs as Janis Joplin and Jimi Hetldrix: disorientation, loss of identity, and an accompanying decline in the quality of their art appear to be a common sequence., While there is a romantic tradition which equates artistic dedication with <elf-destruction, this is -clearly irrelevant to a system which operates on oceans of hype, identity loss, gruelling schedules of personal appearances (disorientation), and the periodic enforced issuapce of recordirtgs (creative decline). In such a situation, we should perhaps ’ adopt a kind of musical neo-Darwinism and hypothesize that, in Jerry Butler’s phrase, “Only the Strong Survive.” Carole King was a very successful songwriter long before her current popularity as a performer, and one may presume that her knowledge of the music bit has helped her to avoid the fate of Joplin, Hendrix, et al. This has not, however, absolved her from the pressure to produce _ a new album every six months or so, with the result that Rhymes & Reasons (Ode SP 77016) is markedly inferior to her earlier _ work. As a singer, King’s strength’ is expressivity rather than technical perfection, and as a writer she deals with simple, 1universal situations in straightforwardmelodic terms. Her music is never far from banality, and requires intense but emotionally modulated performances if it is not to seem either weepy or pretentious. In her best work, there is a sustained tension between the complexity of her feelings and the simplicity of her words, which speaks to i_ our experience of attempting to communicate our deepest emotions with a most inadequate means. Rhymes & Reasons, sadly, exhibits so many failures in performance, or material, or both, that it can be enjoyed only fitfully. The primary villain is the material, much of which is Cat Stevensy-wimpy stuff about “Peace in the Valley” or how ya “Gotta Get Through Another Day,” performed in uninvolved and often overproduced style. A second group of songs are equally lame, lyrically, but for one reason or another inspire a stronger effort from Carole“Come Down Easy” and “Feeling Sad

Saturday evening at 8:30 p.m. the only undefeated OUAA western division team will face the only undefeated eastern division team when the Toronto Blues tangle with the Waterloo Warriors at the local Waterloo ice palace. Both teams form one of the bitterest rivalries in the strong OUAA hockey division, as displayed by their last confrontation in the Hockey Canada tournament which went into double overtime before the blues eked out a 4-3 victory. ) The Toronto Blues, who are ranked number one nationally, just returned from a Christmas invitation to Poland to play four against first division games teams from that country. The opening game was the closest the Poles came as the game ended in a 2-2 draw. Toronto may have not been fully adapted to the playing conditions which was played in sub zero weather, on an OUTDOOR open rink, before 10,000 avid fans...and that’s no polish joke! ! This opening game was against the host city team of Katowice, who the blues played later and defeated 7~6. The third game was a 4-2 Toronto victory and the final ended 5-2 for the blues. Toronto Blues have three well balanced forward units. Bill Buba, Gord Davies and Bob Munroe are Toronto’s heaviest scoring threats along with two first year former Junior “A” players Neil Korzack from Peterborough and Bruce Herridge from Kitchener. In goal the blues are very strong with Bruce Durno and transfer student Gary Innes (from McMaster II,), both vying for the league lead in the goals against column, presently being held by the Waterloo duo of Jake . Dupuis and Murray Child. Defensively the Blues have made some changes with Mike Keenan and Nick Holmes added to the list of stalwarts from last year, Anderson and Rick Leroy. Toronto has also adapted a little different playing style or philosophy, which, leans more towards the rough body checking to wear down opponents, and then skate them to death in the final frame. They are a little further away from the straight finesse which they were onetime known for. Saturday night match-up should be very interesting, since the warriors are very much a physical team which enjoys the rough style as opposed to finesse, which again they are weak on. The warrior scoring potential will again be looking forwar,d to the Rookie line of Guimond-Crosby-Elliott to perform if they are to make a match of it. Coach McKillop will insist that the w,arriors forecheck the blues .relentlessly in the Toronto end and try to keep them from setting up their rather potential offensive attack. Another Toronto trait is to have the offside wingerconstantly breaking for the net with the centre man curling

around behind this winger hoping to draw the defence apart. McKillop does not plan to match any particular line against any particular line of the blues at least at the onset of the game, owing to Toronto’s depth of talent. However, the return of the Red Baron, Dave Simpson, who scored twenty points last season, fills the last gap in the Waterloo line up. Kaptain Kropf is excited to. know that the twine-denter Simpson, had returned to the fold. Hopefully the shrunken size of games in december compared the Waterloo ice surface will with the warrior’s 1.

games where the Waterloo squad didn’t play exceptionally well but fortunately they didn’t have to play very well to stomp the hapless blues 78-52. The whole atmosphere of the game was summe,d up by one of the warrior fans who said‘how can you get excited about a game like that’. In typical fashion the warriors took control early with a small margin and slowly pulled away. The low scoring first half ended at 29-22 in favor of Waterloo. ‘There probably were a few high points in that first half but right now I can’t remember what they were. Warriors scored 10 unanswered points to start the second half and that pretty well salted things away. Tom Kieswetter contributed 18 of the warrior points and Mike .Zuwerkalow added 10.

This, is of course not’ a complete list of the large Athena squadthere are more good surprises. \

Internationd nieet IgoeS ’ this weekend

Starting time

With possibly one of the strongest women’s swim teams in Ontario Coach Robert Graham believes his squad has an excellent chance to finish in one of the top spots at -this years International Invitational which starts this evening and goes all day tomorrow. Even 1though they will be up against former Olympic competitors a conserted Athena effort could see this come about. This years International, the fourth, will again be featuring approximately 250 of the best American and Canadian many with both swimmers,, national and international experience. Up to press time Wednesday eight American and eight Canadian teams have entered and more are expected before the first gun sounds on-Friday evening at 7 pm.

Records to fall It goes without saying a number of pool and Ontario open and closed records are in j eapordy . The defending champions Michigan State is coming back for the fourth year in a row and by all indications is stronger than ever. While they have lost butterflyer Marilyn Corson they still have diver Jane Mansfield who took the one metre diving gold medal last year. Accompanying Jane will be another excellent diver, Mardie Perez. Backstroker Jane Waldie is another swimmer who is outstanding.’ The University of Cincinatti coached by Tom Williams will have among others two former Olympic stars. Alice Jones, was the world record holder in the ,butterfly and is definitely one to watch. Sprinter Heidi Lipe is another Olympic veteran who has an excellent chance to take home gold. Sister Tina Lipe, a backstroker and Debbie Kibler, a breaststroker are’ also going to add strength to the Cincinatti crew. Clarion State who were third at last years International and seventh at the American College Nationals is stronger than ever and will definitely give battle to Michigan State. It is very hard to single out only a few but among their outstanding balanced lineup are Anne Morrison, a freestyler, Lee -Bernstein, a flyer and backstroker Nancy Tempas who was third in last years 100 yard event. Ball State is back again this season and will . have individual medley swimmer Mary Komora, backstroker Barb Ray and flyer Nancy Wells.

Oneonta State will be sending sprinter Pat Colins and IM’er Deb Monigan among others. \Brockport State is only sending two divers, Sue Hurley and Barbara White while Clarions Barbara Seel, who was second on the one metre board last year is expected to be as strong as ever in the light of her fine showing at the American College Nationals and Olympic Trials. On the Canadian side, York University will-have Kathy Lane diving again. Kathy was third on the three metre board last year and is a former national champion. Paula Thompson is the best sprinter for York. Westerns two divers Janet Sproat and Nadine Kennedy both are expected to fair well as is breaststroker Pat Kitchen. Queen’s University has an excellent breaststroker in Cathy Brace. Cathy, who competed in Fredericton last spring at the Canadian womens nationals, is expected to do very well. Merrily Stratten a member of our Munich Olympic team will be leading ‘the University of Toronto again this year. Last year Merrily won the gold medal in the 400 freestyle and came second in the 200 free. Nancy Thompson, an

IM’er and breaststroker -is -expetted to bolster Toronto’s showing. McMaster will be sending Kathy Theakston, an excellent sprinter and two good divers, Mary Bridgeman and Ainsley Grey. Last year Ainsley dove with the University of Toronto and both girls made the trip to Fredericton. Guelph will again be sending among others its two outstanding backstrokers, Alison Bays and Ann Walton. Ann was a member of our Mexico Olympic team.

Laurentian swims Laurentian University will probably be sending the smallest squad, just one swimmer, Karen Faddis. Even so, it is a landmark of sorts as she is the first swimmer to ever compete in intercolegiate swimming for the young umversi ty . ,On the home scene Waterloo has probably never had such a strong balanced women’s team. Among the hopefuls will be sprinter Sue Alderson, sisters Margaret and Maida Murray and

Team work will be the order of the day for the Waterloo women. Times for the meet are ‘7 pm Friday night for the preliminaries of the 400 yard freestyle and the one metre diving while on Saturday swimming and diving starts at 9am and- the finals for both diving and swimming will go at 7pm. -ron

Florida &mshine Fort Lauderdale is famous for many things including swimmers. It is also the site of the College Swim Forum and the International Hall of Fame. Each Christmas for the past 32 years university swimmers have gathered here for two weeks of practice, sun bathing and more practice. This year fifteen members of the Waterloo swimteam decided, at their own expense, to see if the Swim Forum was as good as they had heard. It was better! On the cold morning of December 21, Coach Bob Graham and his wife lead the expedition southward. This determined band of ‘water wonders’ consisted of Captains George Roy, Doug Munn and Rolfe McEwan; rookie Dave Wilson, flyer Bo Jacyszyn, sprinter Bruce Henry, backstroker Eric Robinson, Maryanne Schuett, Cathy Adams, Joy Stratten and Brigette Zirger. Three divers, Ken Hill, Laurie Martin, and Lester Newby also tripped south to do some board bouncing. The bleached group arrived in the sunshine state in the wee hours of December 23. As the sun rose that first morning we soon realized we were in a strange foreign country. Christmas lights decorated palm trees, orange trees and cactus plants were everywhere, and Spanish moss hung from many of these weird green ‘plastic’ trees surrounding beautiful homes in the “Venice of America”. -We were soon brought back out of the dream world when the Coach ordered us into the water for our first 5,000 meter workout. The training ground was a large ten lane 50 meter outdoor pool which had a separate warmer pool for the board-bouncers. We were able to arrange two practice sessions at this Swimming Hall of Fame pool every day, one early in the morning and the other in the late afternoon. Ode day it was very coldaround 40 -and all the natives got out their winter coats while the crazy northerners wore ‘their T-shirts and shorts. What else do you wear in Florida?

ah come

for real?

Training twice a day kept us ‘busy but Rooky Wilson and Bo demonstrated their natural treeclimbing abilities to rip off a few cocnuts. Cathy discovered that you aren’t allowed to -sleep in the lobby of the best hotel in townthe Babia Mar. Doug even tried some ‘southern grits’ only to discover they are cream of wheat boxed in a different package. Rolfe just sat around soaking up the sun and getting darker to Maryann’s amazement. “Boots,’ as Maryann is affectionately called, also won her ice cream cone bet with Rolfe as she made every practice while in Florida.

At 25 cents a scoop ice cream cones can be expensive. After a seemingly short ten days of swimming and the likes we had to leave the endless summer to travel north. As the exhausted swimmers recover Coach Graham has reported that “the hard work should, pay off with excellent results in the near future.” He also said, “Those swimmers that went south are in better shape than usual after the Christmas break and more improvement is in sight. But next year we’ll fly!” -doug

Mustangs down Warriors Wednesday night in the Peoples’ Puddle the Waterloo Mens’ swim team faced the team from the University of Western Ontario in what proved to be a fight to the finish, with the Western team finally victorious. Nevertheless the Waterloo team did manage to set several team and individual records making the whole evening completely worthwhile. In the 1000 metre- free style individual event Rolfe McEwan of Waterloo found himself pitted against Bill Kennedy of Western who represented Canada in the last Olympic games. Not surprisingly, Kennedy won the race by 2.2 seconds. However his presence was enough to inspire McEwan to swim his way to a new team record of il. 14.8, beating the old record of ll.15.5. The first race of the evening set the mood for the entire competition with the Waterloo team winning the 400 medley relay by only three tenths of a second. In the 50 yard free Waterloo pulled in both the first and second places with team members Rookie Wilson and Bruce Henry seperated by only two tenths of a second. Jacszyn set an individual record in the 200 yd butterfly although he was beaten by Kennedy of Western. McEwan swam ‘a fast race against western’s McConnell in the 500 freestyle, eventually squeezing out a win by three tenths of a second. A diving competition -- was

combined with the swim meet, with Waterloo being represented by Lester Newby, Ken Hill, and Chris Ra\digan. The divers competed on both the one meter and three metre boards. Newby won both events collecting 225.75 points in the one metre and 231.35 in the second competition. This marked the first time that Newby had managed to beat Western’s Doug Darling. ( The final score for the meet. was Western 61 and Waterloo 52. Last weekend the Warriors were defeated by the Blues of \ Toronto 82-29. ’ Although the score was lopsided, the performance of the uniwat squad was a lot closer. Nearly every race\!went down to the wire and won in, the last five i yards. . The best performance was by Eric Robinson in the 200 medley and the 200 backstroke while Ian Taylor was nipped at the wire in the 200 freestyle. Diver Lester Newby had an off 1 and on day winning the one metre competition but coming second in the three metre board. There is a busy home schedule upcoming for the Warriors next week. On Tuesday at 7 pm Guelph and York are in town and then on Friday night it’s Queen’s and Geneseo at 7:30. The boys catcha nights sleep and go back at it the following afternoon at 2 pm, this time against Kent State and Buffalo State, two outstanding squads. -Susan

The following article is by David Whitson, reprinted from Community Schools, a magazine published in Toron%6.

Among Senior Public Schools, Osler is citecl as a school that is providing more coeducational experiences than most. It seems to be accepted policy at this level, though, that separation is the rule and integration the exception. The principal and several consultants expressed the ‘feeling that senior school students were at an age where differences in physical and emotional maturity posed too many difficulties for a full scale co-ed program. Activities like volleyball and swimming sometimes are conducted on a mixed basis, but these are special occurrences and the core program, though it is impressive in its emphasis on skill development, remains largely segregated. The exception to this is s very impressive outdoor education program featuring orienteering and bicycle hikes.’ These afford a chance to share a challenge together, to play together, and simply to enjoy each other’s company in a natural way, without posturing. _Health education discussion groups at If we really begin to treat sport as Osler are mixed, but films on anatomy are something that’s beneficial to human shown to boys and girls separately..

female athlete who ‘represented Canada at the Munich Olympics has been unable to represent her school in Ontario university track competitions, because the Women’s Athletic has yet to respond to Department repeated requests by herself and other interested girls that the university enter a team in thea OUAA events. At an east Toronto high school with a population of 300 boys and 1400 girls, the boys’, athletic program is allotted about $300 more than the girls’ activities. At a west Toronto junior public school two girls who wished to participate in a staff-student baseball game were discouraged. Although female staff were taking part, the girls were told that “Baseball isn’t really a game for girls,” that “Girls can’t catch well enough and it would spoil the game,” and, finally, that, although they played ball at recess and even during gym classes,- “Girls shouldn’t be playing in a REAL game like this.:’ They were advised to come and watch and cheer for their friends. ’ The above anecdotes . reflect some \ traditional attitudes about the place of vigourous physical activity in the life of a young “lady” which have inhibited many girls from enjoying athletics in the carefree fashion that is deemed natural for boys. The attitude that all-out physical play is “unladylike,” especially when it might lead to body contact, still prevails in many quarters. Even when robust play is acknowledged as healthy, the association of COMPETITIVE drive with inasculinity creates problems for the girl who wants to take part in the “real” games of organized sport, or who expresses any commitment to long-term athletic goals. Not only is the serious female athlete likely to be considered unfeminine among her ‘peers, and associates, but she ,often encounters severe limitations on her access to facilities and competitive opportunities. Athletic programs for boys and girls have been normally conducted on a separate basis, and this has rarely been claimed to be separate but equal. Mary Keyes of McMaster University recently told a Wornen’sAthletic Workshop at York University that: The general pattern of separate facilities, separate programs, separate organizations for sports is symptomatic of the distinction between sexual poses and social roles within the society.

options like archery or yoga, and the atmosphere in the department appears to be such that the students would feel no sexual stigma attached to the choices they made. “Every activity has its place and its says Mr. Salisbury, the male value,” department head, and male and female students are encouraged to develop their own skills in whatever sports interest them, and to-enjoy doing this together. This is reinforced by men coaching women and vice-versa. The success of the program is evidenced by the fact that in Grade 12, when physical education is optional, 180 out of 200 students take part. ‘When this remarkable evidence of enthusiasm is contrasted from the absenteeism from phys. ed. classes and apathy towards athletics one finds among students at many other schools, one might expect this approach to spread. - My -feeling was that the success of the program at Forest Hill owed a great deal to the relaxed attitude in the department about competition in general and interschool competition in particular. While maintaining that it was necessary and desirable to facilitate inter-school competition as part of a total program for those who desired this kind of opportunity, the staff did’not appear to feel that their own prestige or that of the school was threatened by the fact that Forest Hill did not field a football team this year. It is because I cannot imagine this sort of equanimity in many other physical educaCrtin departments, that I doubt whether the quality of experience for the individual student that I sensed at Forest Hill is or will be achieved elsewhere in the near future. A truly successful co-educational program involves a profound resocialization. It hinges on everyone involved coming to think of and treat athleticcompetition as first and most importantly a struggle with oneself, a struggle to develop to the limits of one’s own physical potential, a struggle which is equally enjoyable and natural to both men and women, and which is in fact completely irrelevant to sexual identity. To achieve this one must be consistent throughout the - entire program. The contradictions are evident to the students in a program which tries to encourage these kinds of attitudes during physical education classes, and at the same time at least tacitly encourages the same boys to go to any lengths of aggression to win a football game after school. When the most widely publicized and heavily funded aspect of the program equates masculinity with competitive success as the Vince Lombardi, tough-guy, “jock” image explicitly does, the message comes through clearly and neither boys nor girls can feel completely free to approach sport in a healthy manner, as a personal quest. Consultants say they want to increase coeducational programs at all levels and they point to schools that are involved in these kinds-of programs as models to be

ompetition seemsalmost to be a dirty word these days, in some circles, one of those 11-letter’ words which, when mentioned among liberals, leftists, or left-liberals, sends a sort of groaning shudder, around the room. “Sports” seems to elicit almost as bad a reaction, as though the two words were syflonymous. If I- seem a little put-off’ by the whole subject, it’s because I just returned from the Canadian University Press conference in Winnipeg over the holidays, and most of the conversation there concerning sports was almost as depressing as’ the conversations about sexism. I mean, the whole attitude toward sports by the editors and writers-most of whom like to consider themselves as part of some vague leftish social vanguard-was extremely holierthah-thou and stand-offish. As soon as it was common knowledge that the student newspaper at the university of Manitoba-The *Manitobanhad abolished, leper-like, all mention of competition, scores, standings,‘etc., from its sports pages,the tenor of all the rest of the sports seminars and discussions was irrevocably set. “Competition”, already a no-no in leftish circles on the subject of capitalism, was now almost as taboo whenever sports popped up. l-tow “competition” got to be the whipping-boy of social critics, I guess, is not that difficult to understand. All it takes to condemn competition is a simplistic and uncritical -acceptance of professional and varsity sports as being “sports”. “Why this concentration on WINNING, losing and competition?“, the editor of the Manitoban naively asked in an editorial announcing the paper’s new anticompetition policy? Why, indeed? Could it be that competition is as much a part of our make-up as sex, the need ,for food, and all the other good things that go to make up life as we know it ? Indeed, it would be impossible for me to define human life without mention of competition : against nature, against ourselves, against others. A life without a sense of competition would be , empty of meaning:‘ True, a life of winning “at all cost” is as perverted a form of sports enthusiast as is a rapists7 life to -sexual pleasure: But to recognize the excesses of sport is to seek a balance, not to throw out all mention of competition in sports. While I enjoy participating in various

copied elsewhere in the system. They are proud of the steps made in these schools, and I think that they and the teachers involved have a right to be. It must be remembered, however, that alongside Forest Hill there are many high schools where the men feel quite comfortable with the jock image and the women must accept a small share of the budget while they encourage their girls to sit on the sidelines of the playing field and cheer their men on, as they are encouraged to do in so many other areas of their lives . It

sports, I also appreciate the opportunity of watching those who perform each sport the best, just as those who enjoy pl’aying an instrument attend symphony orchestra presentations, and those who work in art attend gallery showings. And the people who play for a symphony orchestra and whose paintings and sculptures appear in a gallery have attained. that position in the same way the football or hockey player gains professional, or varsity, status. Even the Manitoban editor, it is safe to presume, gained her position by competition with others. Of course, for me to state even more naively, that there has not occurred in sports, as in other fields, an overemphasis and overreaction to winning, and an out-ofperspective near-worship of those who excel would be to deny reality. The excesses of Big Sport are decadent, sexist- and probably psychologically injurious to those who cannot, or choose not to, make’ the grade, especially at the high school age and earlier (see the article accompanying this piece). But again, is this any more excessive than the worship given rock stars, book authors, artists, politicians or standouts in any other field? True, the reaction to competition may

must also be remembered that between Gsler and Earl Grey, which are making strides towards co-educational health, there is one senior school where an all-girl health. class was warned- this fall that men still prefer virgins and another (Kent) which has yet to desegragate its entrances, much less its phys. ed. classes. In discussing these differences and the obstacles to more rapid or widespread change, the consultants referred to entrenched condition and the social climate of which the schools are only a part.

be more vocal and more apparent, but why is it to be singled out? Competition is so much a part of what we ‘are, as I suggested earlier, that to adopt a policy which does not even mention it is ridiculous. A great part of the problem of the malaise and psychological emptiness of modern urban life seems to be, in fact, the absence of meaningful competition; the fact that there is no need to compete against anything or -anyone, in order to survive or improve. So, sports has taken an inordinately high priority in urban society, being a dramatized and stylized representation of the struggle for survival. The imagery in sportscaster language is unmistakeable: “if they want to stay alive in this contest...“; “the drive died on the 20-yard line”; “that goal keeps them alive in this game...“; “the dying moments...“. So, it is easy’to see that at this point in our social evolution, sports is a very important part of our attempt to keep a sense of meaning in a lifestyle which otherwise! demands very little of us and gives very little satisfaction back. The pursuit of sports, both in wider and more equal participation and in ‘a better understanding of the intricacies of the sports, is a healthy and maybe even a crucial goal at this point. Like any other pursuit, it must not be projected beyond its limitations as exercise and game. That even the objects of, excessive. mystification and hero-worship are beginning to see the exploitation of both the worshipper and the hero is a good sign; read Jack Scott’s “The Sports Revolution” or Dave Meggysy’s “Out of Their League” for a good ‘critical look inside Big Sport. , But competition in sports must not be condemned out of hand or seen as an evil; instead, it must be refined to the point where the joy of exercise and competition is encouraged and available for all. The physed complex must not be seen as a palace’for the jocks; the needs and wants of a fairlyproportioned recreation program must have precedence over the “needs” of varsity squads. At present, towels are not given out to students using the gym facilities after 9 pm,

the chevron

even though intramural contests are scheduled in the gym that last beyond that time. There is no question, however, that were the Warriors or Athenas,to have a basketball game lasting past nine, there would be towels awaiting them after their showers. ’ This is, admittedly, a petty example, but one which exemplifies the present priorities: the varsity athletes have a clear and unquestioned (at least by thos6 running the phys-ed complex) status over “normal:’ students using the gym. Many times I have gone to the attendants window and asked for a basketball, to be told that there were none available. I was told this to my face while easily a dozen basketballs stood in view on the shelves behind the attendant; the message was so clear I have never even bothered to defy his word: those basketballs are for the varsity. The question of sexism in sports, while important, is less easy to deal with. Clearly, females should have equal access to facilities, coaching and encouragement to participate in sports, \from infant age on through. Many universities say, in the best liberal line, that female facilities are available to meet the needs of those who want it, but that many less females than males want to engage in sports. But by this time the damage hasbeen done to most females in regard to sports. They have been taught, in schools and at home, that sports are for .boys, and by the time they are old enough to challenge that, either they feel to inferior to the males who have been engaged in sports literally all their lives, or they have been alienated from sports by a role of cheerleader-spectator-admirer or “sports-widow”. This must be one of the first priorities in bringing sports back around. Of course, giving females equal access to facilities and coaching can, by itself, only produce an even number, of male and female “jocks” lording it over the rest of the populace. Women should not fall prey to tunnel vision in seeing sexism as the main thing to be corrected in sports. The fact that most sports heroes and most major sports are male-dominated is also not so easily distinguished as sexist. That men out-perform women seens to be a physiological, not a social or psychological, fact. But that is probably a moot question at this time, since men’and women have not yet been given equal opportunity to develop themselves physically. It is not inconsistent to abhor exploitation and still watch and admire those who excel in any pursuit under the stress of competition; it is only when the end product of that pursuit is exploitive that it should be brought around. Certainly sports is the area into which we should be able most productively channel our competitive drive to harmless and enjoyable results. I no more want to live in a -world without competitive sports than I do in a world in which illegible scratchings are considered of equal literary value with our most insightful writings. Priorities can be brought into humane focus without throwing the joys of athletic competition out with its excesses. george s kaufman

Traditions, however, can last only as long sport as a human, rather than male or as those concerned acquiesce in accepting female experience, is to gain any them, and physical educators can be an momentum, they will have to be important force for change in this area, if disrespectful of tradition. they so choose. Unfortunately, many If not, traditional programs and physical educators who have been raised traditional social attitudes have a way of as jocks enjoy the separate empires mutually reinforcing each other which will created by segregated programs, and continue to deny young men and women accept as natural the sexual stereotypes _ the opportunity of sharing the joys which their programs then continue to inherent in athletic activity in a natural reinforce.

he war ‘in Southeast Asia, like Swinburne’s weariest river, will one d’ay wind “somewhere safe to sea.” But not yet. At least not out of the current negotiations between Le Due Tho and Henry Kissinger. Their Paris meetings, which began at the least secret of all secret meetings will probably end- if indeed they ever do-as the least peaceful of all peace settlements. Rather than -ending the war, the ceasefire currently being argued about will recycle it: place it on a more manageable level for everybodyincluding the Vietnamese. Everybody, that is, except Canada. Big Brother Das plans for us. As I. F. Stone suggests, the pending ceasefire agreement between Hanoi and Washington is designed like a delicate watch, “intricatley fashioned to make sure it won’t work.” Stone goes on to show that the present ’ ‘agreements’ (which, strictly speaking, are not agreements yet) are even more flimsy than the ill-starred Geneva Accords of the 1950’s. . One does not have to analyse the various clauses and interpretations of these-. clauses that <have seeped into public to be skeptical of the whole exercise. To start with, the purported cease-fire settlement omits any political settlement to this most political ‘of wars-an omission’ that practically guarantees the continuation of fighting. Moreover, even if the agreements were iron-clad, enough has happened since 26 October when Henry Kissinger lied to the American people’ that “peace was at hand” to nullify any treaty. Even as Richard Nixon . had Kissinger put the finishing touches on the presidential election and tidings of peace rang from every steeple in middle America, an unprecedented air-lift of arms and material was shuttling across the Pacific. President Thieu now has enough planes to claim the third largest airforce in the world, and__-- enough advisors-remember the advisors of the late fifties and early sixties-to put the planes together and keep them flying. The bombings -have intensified, and action on the field has increased. Meanwhile Thieu has buttressed his huge private police force with a roaming vigilante gang with orders to dispose of anybody and everybody of holding “neutralist”’ suspected - sentiments. Saigon’s jails have long been filled with thousands of political opponents of General Thieu, including poor old Truong Dinh Dzu who foolishly ran against Thieu in the last / “election.” The jails are still-full, but now they are also reported to be mined. Thieu, it .would appear, is reluctant to negotiate. Somebody has turned off the light at the end of the tunnel again. If the war is not going to end with a, cease-fire between Hanoi and Washington and a withdrawal of American military men, at least those in _uniform, _ is it desirableYand _ if.‘

desirable possible-to pretend it has? Any answer to this question requires an examination not only of the duality of the war, as both a civil conflict within Vietnam ant a manifestation of the world contest between the two centres of power, but also its results as it has ground on into its third decade. Conventional wisdom now has it that American involvement in’ Vietnam was a mistake-even a tragic one, we are told for emphasis. This theory gains currency even though U.S. strategy in Southeast Asia has been consistent since the almost simultaneous deaths of Franklin D. Roosevelt and the policy of - co-operation between East and West that was supposed to reshape the new world from the ashes of the Second World War. The policy of containment of Communism (in the heady days of early Eisenhower it was phrased in ringing slogans of rolling back the frontiers of you-know-what) was always coupled with the resolve to enforce it. It was always nice if others could be enlisted to do the actual fighting. If others couldn’t, then the U.S. moved with vigour and determination. The policy has not always worked. In Vietnam, containment was mired in the complexity of the internal struggle against foreign rule which enabled the Communist leadership to forge a coalition with neutralists and nationalists, leaving the United States with only the dregs of junior officers, civil servants and politicians of -the former French colonial regime. Regardless of any tactical errorsand no doubt the David Halberstams and Frances FitzGeralds will be able to grind out many interesting and effective studies-Vietnam was and is no aberration in -American policy,. but ratsher a manifestation of its essence. All the arguments about whether or not the U.S. has national interests in Vietnam are as irrelevant as the domino theories. Once aspiring to be policemen of the world one cannot easily accept “no-go areas”. ‘, Unable to win a military victory, even with the tremendous expenditure of force, nor capable of establishing a viable political front, the U.S. has still proved it was something more than the proverbial paper tiger. Indeed, with its fantastic technology the U.S. has now brought the level of American casualities down to a level apparently acceptable to the American people. Richard Nixon even seems to have discovered the Milo Minderbinder’s principle of making the war conform, sol id free-enterprise d icto good, tates-since bombs have to be made to keep the economy going, they might just as well be- dropped on somebody as stockpiled. Thus the war, at least that phase of the w.ar which has directly and openly involved the American military, has reached an impasse. An impasse which is not only inherently -----dangerous-but-also an obstacle to the_ __

changing international relations. In other words, a stand-off has to be organized that will allow a political deescalation of the war in Vietnam. A stand-off is needed to enable the U.S., China and the Soviet ,Union to develop relations without the e?nbarassment, indeed anger, of a ‘direct confrontation.The U.S. saves the shreds of its containment policy by( organizing the continuation of the war by proxy. (The hope apparently is that Thieu with his air force and police can keep the- war going as long as he, controls enough space for an airfield and a flag pole). For the Soviet Union and China, the apparent withsdrawal of American forces from Vietnam’ enables the slow process of a detente with the U.S. to continue in other \ spheres. The point was perceived by theI American people during the - last Daniel Yankolovich, a election. pollster for the New York Times; describes how the issue of the war turned-into a plus instead of a minus for Nixon. “Slowly, almost imperceptibly,* the message got through to the American public: Nixon had faced the Russians down, and the danger to the U.S. ,from the war-the danger of a big power confrontation-had been defused. The war in Vietnam would now soon be over. Or, even if it did not end right away, it would no longer be seen as a military threat to Americans. Soviet/Chinese acquiescence in the Haiphong mining had handed Mr. Nixon an overwhelming diplomatic victory, containing the seeds of his subsequent political; victory at home. Vietnam, we found, is the, issue of greatest concern to the American public, and in the public mind it was almost as if the war had ended at the Moscow Summit.” War, ike an y other political question when it cannot be resolved

There is, however, one complication for Canada. We are to be delegated onto the committee. If it was a genuine supervision of a cease-fire, or if -it was even a broader body which’ would enable some viable peace to be’ structured, nobody would be too concerned and the more naive might even be flattered. But’ peace in Vietnam is not in the cards, nor is Canada’s role envisioned to be that of a neutral. We are slated to be the _ American rrominees and will be expected to serve their interests. The implications of our role have not been lost on Mitchell Sharp who, to thunderous silence ‘from Hanoi, suggested that Canada would be happier to serve if we were invited by, both sides. It would seem that the Vietnamese have not forgotten Canada’s messenger role for the U.S. before in Vietnam. Nor. should we. Our political and military complicity with the United States in Vietnam is well documented. As American delegates on the commIttee to supervise the recycling of the war in Vietnam we will be enmeshed even more closely with the State Department and Pentagon. ~ For nostalgia buffs, however, a Canadian contingent on another peacekeeping force in Vietnam is the ultimate trip. Here we go again back to the innocent 1950s where, to spite all logic and evidence, there was the, inspired notion abroad in the land that Canada could-Bomarcs, NATO and,> NORAD notwithstan.ding-pretend to play honest broker and world peacekeeper. But this time everyone is older and wiser and old K. Marx’s historical cycle has been compressed. The! tragedy isn’t over before the farce begins. reprinted from last post

ccusations \ of Canadian complicity in the U.S. war effort in Vietnam, ttirough made-in-Canada materials and war research at Canadian universities, have been around for years. Because o-f the understandably secret nature of many of these activities, however, precise data have been, at best, sketchy.

if you happen to be a friendly freeworld defence department, you can request one of two catalogues produced governthe Canad ian bY Products” ment : “Canad ian . Defence and “Canadian Defence Commodoties.” Buy Canadian, take your choice. How about a Canadair CL’4lG Tactical Trainer? “Var:ious mixes of stores can be mounted, including 25b and 500 lb bombs, G.E. Minigun six barrel machine gun pods, 500 and 750 lb. napalm bombs, and a variety of air-tosurface rockets.” But such information is not available to the public, or even to members of parliament. Project Anti-War, a research group at Montreal’s McGill University led by political science professor Sam Noumoff, recently took a stab at lifting the official veil of silence. Their first step yeas to request from the department of industry, trade and commerce a list of Canadian companies contracting with the Pentagoh. Through the office, of MP Max Saitsmah (NDP-Waterloo); the request tias forwarded to the then minister, Jean-Luc Pepin. Pepin replied on 6 July: “The Canadian government gathers X information on deferice export sales to khe U.S. from approximately 200 Canadian companies. This information is obtained as “Corn merciai Conf idential” information with the assurance that it will be used for statistical purposes only. Disclosure of this information could affect the combetitive position of the companies involved. My Department is therefore not at liberty to release the details requested.” I After Project Anti-War held a press conference and caught the attention of the media, the department changed its policy. The names of 211 Canadian companies receiving Pentagon contracts through the Canadian Commercial Corporation were released. Bui the government still does not give out information gathered as “Corn merciai Confidential”-concerning, for example, companies receiving contracts directly from the United States. The Pentagon tu’rned out to be a better source of information than the Canadian government. Project AntiWar’s report, entitled “How to make a killing,” states: “it is somewhat ironic that information which a minister of the Crown denies to a Member of Parliament is available t9 a substantial degree Ihrough an exarii’ination, of the public record in the United States.” Project Anti-War received an equal lack of co-operation from many of the 778 companies ’ to which they sent questionnaires. And so inevitahiy, its 230-page report (available for $1 from Project Anti-War, c/o Prof. Sam

Noumoff, Depaitment of Political Sience, McGill University, Montreal) is not complete. But even the “absolute minimum figures the report cites are enough to give an idea of the scope of the Canadian contribution to t.he maintainance of the pax Americana in Vietnam. With the new list provided by the department of industry, trade and commerce, the total number ofCanadian companies receiving contracts from the Pentagon rose to at least 348 for the 1966-1972 period. The total value of awards granted to industry in Canada by the U.S. Defence Department was $540 million, according to the department’s own publication, “Prime Contracts”. Eighty-seven percent of the money granted to companies whose ownership the group was able to trace went to American-owned companies. And’ almost half of these received financial. aid from the Canadian government. The federal government plays a / multifaceted role in supporting war productidn.

During the same per,iod, universlt’i& and other non-profit institutions in 41 countries received a total of $65 million worth of “defence-related”, research contracts from the pentagon. Canada got more than half that total.
