Social change is violence itself. You cannot have progress without friction and upheaval. For social change, two systems must clash. This must be a violent clash, because it’s a struggle for survival for one and a struggle for liberation of the other. And always the powers in command are ruthless and unmerciful in defending their position and their privileges. I- Robert Williams, 7 962. One man with courage makes a majority. -Andrew Jackson, U.S. President. If there is no, struggle there is no progress. Those who profess to freedom and yet depreciate agitation are men who want crops without plowing. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its mighty waters. This struggle may be a moral one, or it may be physical, but it must be a struggle. Power concedes noth‘ing without a demand. It never did and it never will. -Frederick Douglass, 7857. The peaceful and indifferent are know the fighting joy of living. -Elizabeth Gurley Flynn, 79 7 7.

As a revolutionist I have no respect for capitalist property ‘laws, nor the- least scruple about violating them. I hold all such laws to have been enactedthrough chicanery, fraud and corruption. But this does not imply that I propose making an individual law-breaker of myself and battling my head against the stone wall of existing property laws. That might be called force, but it would be more than that. It would be mere weakness and folly.

Faculty plays daddy In a recent faculty association newsletter editorial, english prof Roman Dubinski expressed the view that those who engage in disruptions should be subject to prosecution both in the courts and internally within the university. His justification of this view is in two parts: the university act gives the board of governors entire responsibility and jurisdiction over the conduct of its students, faculty and staff in order to fulfil1 its aims which are vaguely named as the pursuit of learning and free enquiry. Secondly Dubinski claims that there is in fact a social contract operating in society-people have agreed to obey the laws. There are also proper processes by which these laws can be changed. To discuss university discipline in this manner is nonsense. The important question to ask is where does the power lie in our society? who makes the laws? in whose interests are they made? who controls the universities? what purposes do they serve? for whom? We have never agreed to the existing social contract, nor have we had any meaningful voice in the making of any law, nor shall we be likely to. Yet neither did
the laws drop from the sky. Consider who sits on the boards *of governors of Canadian universities. What relationships do these people have to each other? They belong to the same clubs, they are directors of the same companies. Surely the universities exist primarily to prepare people for lives ,working for their companies. Rather than justify their actions with nonsense, they should say we have the power to do as we please, and will brook no opposition. _ It is interesting to note that the special editorial precedes Dr. Petch’s statement on discipline. It reminds one of american saturation bombing in Vietnam to clear the area before the ground troops move in. The faculty association has agitated for a twenty percent wage increase. Clearly, with this kind of support, the administration might soften its heart towards its new-found ally when it comes to the bargaining table. The faculty at Columbia University was quick to sell-out its students over discipline. With the added incentive of a fat wage increase, it is unlikely that our faculty will respond any differently.

I found the University...clean and noble, but I did not find the university alive. I found the university had this ideal as phrased by a professor: “The passionless pursuit of passionless intelligence-clean and noble, I grant you, but not alive enough... And in the reflection of this University ideal I find the conservatism and unconcern of western society toward those who are suffering, who are in want.” 4ack London, 7906
