dope

scene

Campus dope freaks have said they will continue to ignore all existing marijuana legrecent stateislation despite ments, by federal justice minister John Turner that “the law is the law”, and it will be enforced. “Dope laws are a farce,” said one head (addict or user), “They don’t relate to reality.” * Turner was answering questions from uptight opposition MP’s concerning the government’s official position on drugs. Some MP’s appeared to be concerned over remarks by prime minister Pierre Trudeau that if pot (marijuana) turned out to be no more hazardous to health than tobacco, then “It might not be a bad idea” to legalize its use. Their concern appeared to

oppression

stem from the fact that Trudeau’s comments seemed to conflict with the stand of solicitorgeneral George McIlraith. McIlraith who is responsible to Parliament for the RCMP which enforces the anti-marijuana laws, has been reported as possibley prepared to resign if pot were legalized. Publicly McIlraith has said nothing of resignation, nor would he when directly questioned, but it is known privately he is opposed to the legalizing of marijuana. “It’s too bad old George and his boys have taken such a reactionary stand on the dope issue,” said another freak, “Maybe it would be better for everybody if they all packed it in and called it quits.” -Steve

MONTREAL (CUP)McGill law professor Perry Meyer will act as the Quebec government’s one man fact-finding commission into events at Loyola college, where the use of riot police monday has muted but not halted student and faculty protests. He is expected to begin hearings at the college next monday. Meyer served as chairman of the McGill senate’s committee on student discipline two years ago-which judged 31 students involved in a sit-in at the office of McGill principle H. Rocke Robertson. The sit-in was sparked by the McGill administration’s reaction to a column in the McGill daily, the student newspaper in which columnist John Fekete reproduced a stirical article entitled “the parts left out of the Manchester book,” which claimed that former U.S. president Lyndon Johnson committed acts of Necrophilia upon the body of assissinated president J’.F. Kennedy. The 31 students were given suspended sentences by Meyer’s committee which also claimed to recognize their right to dissent and recognized “their frustration” with the McGill administration and with the establishmed student government. Michel Flares; a prominent member of the Loyola student movement indicated tuesday that Meyer was “an accepttable choice” for Loyola students but warned that any probe cannot be concerned soley with the methods for restoring order to the troubled campus. “Professor Meyer will also have to consider such plans as the federation of Sir George Williams University and Loyola, ” he said. The federation is reportedly favoured by the Quebec government as a method for cutting expenditures. Meyer is expected to report within several weeks on his findings at the university, now shut down after a week of student and faculty protests over the firing of 27 faculty members.

VANCOUVER (CUP)Suspended members of Simon Fraser University.‘s department of political science, sociology and anthropology have launched a new attempt to make education serve the people. The faculty intend to open a new educational institute-the Community Educational and Research center-january 24, to “serve the needs of the entire community. ” “The purpose of it is to make education relevant to the problems faced by people such as workers, tenants, minorities and the poor in their everyday life, said former PSA chairman Mordecai Briemberg. Briemberg, democratically elected by students and faculty in the PSA department last summer, was first deposed from his post and then suspended when PSA members struck to fight an administration trusteeship imposed on the department. Seven other PSA professors were susepnded during the course of the strike, which ended november 4; the suspensions were upheld by a five-man tribunal of the SFU board of governors over protestations that the body was hopelessly biased.

No student discipline reps council meeting decides

,

“Moving right along” seemed to be the central theme at monday nights student council. Either due to novice speaker Larry BJrko’s impatience with triviality, or the lack of important business the hour and a half meeting was one of the shorter on record. Preliminary reports showed the federations financial position -as $13,400 in the red, calculated over the last five years. Councillers pointed out this was close to the $13,600 debt incurred by Groundhog week last year. The main point of business was administration president Howie Petch’s request for federation reps on an interim advisory committee. The committee which was to advise on rules contained in

Petch’s ’ recent discipline proposal was panned by federation president Tom Patterson. He felt there was no significant difference in the statement from the proposals made in the Committee of Ontario presidents report last year. This report was rejected by council, primarily because of double jeopoardy clauses, where students could, be punished both by the civil courts and by the university. In urging council to unconditionally refuse to participate, Patterson explained, “It will just be another long hassel over terms of reference. Our position is clear, as we have opposed double jeopardy since ‘67, so why be redundant. ” He concluded, stating council had more important things to worry about.

‘Engineering rep Rich Lloyd questioned if council would participate in the proposed ‘task force’ to follow the advisory committee. Patterson felt they probably would not, but preferred to leave the question open for whatever council situation existed at that. The motion to refuse to participate carried easily. A quick wrap-up of the meeting ensued as six new bylaws were rubberstamped. Council also appointed Rick Page, ES. 3, and Mark Liederman, sot 3 as federation representatives, to do a study on the uses and problems of campus centers. Burko quickly adjourned.

MONTREAL (CUP)-A potentially serious conflict is brewing in the sociology department at McGill university, over the rights of equal say for students in the hiring and firing of faculty. monday, Sociology faculty, unilaterally withdrew from a unique “student-faculty caucus” which determined department affairs on a parity no-vote basis, the next day the faculty changed their minds and asked for the reinstatement of the body. But this time

fused, pending the results of a mass meeting today. The faculty withdrawal resulted after a closed meeting sunday when the department hired a new professor over the opposition of the student members of the caucus. The entire caucus had previously bowed to student wishes the professor’s and dropped name from consideration. David Abbey, a spokesman for the sociology student union, said faculty merely want dialogue with students and will not tolerate students influencing decisions.

board

TORONTO (CUP)-The chairman of the board of governors at Ryerson Polytechnical Institute has threatened to launch a libel action against the student union here, following the publication of a stirical article in last friday’s edition of the student newspaper, the eyeopener. To drive home its displeasure, the Ryerson administration also threatened to drive away the paper’s advertisers and refuse to collect student fees on behalf of the student union. The story which drew the storm of Chairman indignation was entitled Bi/! on sodsmanship,-and was credited to Bill Kelly, chairman of the Ryerson Board. The article discussed a hypothetical ceremony where Kelly sod-turning officiated, and speculated on possible advantages he might gain poltical from the ceremony The .day after the issue appeared on campus, Eyeopener editors received

“Student representatives assessed candidates for the new staff according to their members teaching ability, academic merit and social awareness,” he said, “but faculty members were more concerned with the prestige that applicants and their publications would give to the department.” Both sides agree that the concensus system now operative in the department is unworkable. but some of the faculty would like to replace it with a formal voting procedure with students having less than equal say.

Camp Columbia is a place to practise. A place to practise dry sociology and psychology, a place to practise socialism and radicalism. The camp was the summer project of the federation of students. A group of last year’s staff is hoping to continue the project again this summer. “There is a great need for people right now,” said Ross Taylor, group spokesman, “people to act as fund raisers, counsellors, general organizers and summer camp philosophers. I would like to see as many interested students staff and faculty members out at tuesday’ meeting. Previous camping experience is not necessary, only a desire to try and make meaningful to all non-authoritarian involved, a children’s summer camp,” he concluded. The meeting will be on tuesday january 20 in the reading lounge of the campus center at 7:30. There are three main objectives of the cam ‘?he first is to provide an opportunity for underpriveleged children to attend a summer camp. With this in mind, the local children’s aid and welfare

a letter from Kelly’s lawyers informing them of possible legal action and demanding that all available copies of the issue be turned over to the board’s secretary. The Eyeopener staff refused to comply. Later the same day student council president Barry Hales met with acting *administration president Tony Wilkinson and board member David Crombie. The two men were “obviously disturbed,” Hales said. The two outlined possible administration actions over the article: a suit against the student union for any libellous articles in the january 9 publicacharges for any tion, simultaneous violations of the obscenity act found in the same issue, campaign to persuade advertisers to withdraw their support, and, finally, refusal to collect student union fees.

organizations were contacted to help in the selection of campers. A second objective is to demonstrate and develop the university as a community resource. Last year the camp made use of not just university land but also some of the facilities on the south campus. The kids were turned loose in the campus center several times much to the delight of the building’s regulars. Tours were made of the biology museum computer center and other areas of the campus. The third objective rises from the expected lack of meaningful summer jobs. The camp will have a paid staff of at least 14, thus providing employment for some Waterloo students. Camp Columbia is completely student organized and carried out. As much as possible the day to day decisions at the camp are made by collective agreement of the campers themselves and the staff. The non-authoritarian approach was a new experience for both the staff and the kids. “Although our actions -were largely experimental,” said Taylor, “we hope we have learned enough to make this year’s camp more successful.”

aid to the paper. Refusal to collect fees would mean the financial collapse of the student union. The student board of publications at Ryerson Institute of Technology tuesday voted to back up the student newspaper The Eyeopener. The chairman of the five-man publications board broke a tie vote to reject * a motion by council president Hales which called for increased control over the Eyeopener and for a vote of censure against editor Walter Dymtrenko. Hales’ motion was forwarded to applease the administration, ac,cording to Dymtrenko. “The students union, being weak, presented itself as an easy target for the administration” said Dymtrenko. “The administration has been unable to legally get at the paper” he said, “and especially at political columnist Roger Carter, who has been needling the board of governors each week by

exposing their supposedly confidential and top-secret information.” Refusal to collect student fees has been attempted on only two other canadian campuses. The university of Saskatchewan board announced december 31, 1968 they would not collect Regina campus student union fees unless the local student council censored the student newspaper, the Carillon. The movie by the U of S board failed in the face of prolonged resistance by the entire Regina student body. The University of Guelph administration announced in november 1969 that it would not collect student union fees this semester if less than 50 percent of registering students opt for membership in a voluntary union. The Guelph announced followed defeat of a, student referendum calling for a ’ compulsory check-off of fees. fr/day

California pfofs charged over stag film showings LONG BEACH, CALF. (CUPI) -Officials at Long Beach State College said tuesday that two sociology professors who showed nude models and a stag film to their class probably will face charges of unprofessional conduct. Donald Robertson and Marion Steele were suspended from the faculty after monday’s co-educational class in “social myths in american society.” In the classes the models-two men and two women-assumed poses of nine life-size nude statues banned from the campus last spring.

The statues, masters thesis work of a graduate student in art, depict such scenes as a nude woman leaning out of a television set and a male and female slouching in chairs. Robertson said the purpose of the lecture was to illustrate that violence and killing are more obscene than frank sex. “Our society ignores glaring obscenities.. .and prudishly-focus: ses on sex,” he told the class. “This produces hangups which keep millions from enjoying genuine sexual pleasure and makes our entire world obscene.”

Anti-women 7 bias charged- at Co/urn&a NEW YORK (CUPI)-A group of women faculty members at Columbia University has issued a report charging discriminatiorr against wpmen in the university’s hiring policies and asking for a full study of employment opportunities for worn& at Columbia. T’le report, issued last month by a faculty sub-committee of Columbia women’s liberation movement, notes that Columbia grants about one-quarter of its doctoral degree tp women, but that only two per cent of tenured faculty members in the graduate schools are women. According to the report, the a over-all percentage of women full professors at -Columbia is 5.2 per cent, increasing among lower, non-tenured positions. The report makes no specific recommendations about the num-

ber of women who should be hired, but states that “since a woman does not invest time, energy and money in obtaining a doctorate in order to be a better wife and mother, a more etc., entertaining ’ companion, women should be represented in a proportion that reflects their degrees earned.” Graduate faculties dean George Fraenkel said there is no “overt, conscious anti-woman attitude” in the university’s, hiring policies. “Everyone recognizes this as a serious problem,” he said, and promised the situation would “change more in the future. ” A tenured university position, he said,” requires a tremendous amount of dedication and time that interferes with our normal idea of-‘a woman’s role in the family.”

McGill protesters charged with assudt MONTREAL (CUP)-Two McGill students have been arrested on charges of assault arising from an incident in front of the McGill student union building december 7. They also face university disciplinary action and have- been temporarily suspended. The students-Arnold August and Eric Hoffman-are members of the Indian progressive study group and the McGill student movement, respectively. Police have accused the two of attacking Steven Wohl, former chairman of the ‘McGill moratorium committee, and Frank Costi, manager of the student union building. If convicted, the students face a maximum penalty of two years’ imprisonment. Both then IPSG and the MSM have been active in ,a campaign to remove retired general J.N. Chaudhuri from a position in McGill’s Center for Developing Areas Studies. The students have charged that the Center is a front for CIA- type research, intended to develop defenses against liberation struggles in africa and asia. Earlier this year, the McGill administration warned Devinder Garewal, editor of the engineering students society newspaper The Plumber’s Pot, “not to exceed the rights and limits of the protest activity” against Chaudhuri. At that time, August was summoned to a “discussion” with several administration officials over the anti-Chaudhuri campaign, but refused to attend.

by Ross Bell and Mike

sity f in New Orleans mid-way through the 1968-69 year for his out-spoken political beliefs (he publicly supported the Arabs in the mideast conflict and student activist? at Southern). Grey said at the december 11 meeting that he felt Hagger would not be acceptable to the administration. A majority of I.S. students, however, have indicated a desire to have Hagger on campus. Again the ‘question arises: Who makes the decisions in integrated studies?

Corbett

Chevron staff

The College of Integrated Stud.ies was concieved in the fall of 1968 by Donald- Gordon, formerly of Waterloo’s political science dcyartment, as an alternative to the existing- university structures of all Ontario’ universities. It was intended to be an, aut: onomous college where anyone, regardless of previous education, could study in his chosen field. ’ Originally planned as an “experiment in education”, it was to be devoid of traditional university institutions such as exams,; stuclasses, essays, dents would draw on the talents of resource persons, as opposed to the “all-knowing” professors. They would act as guides to research material and where necessary, other resource people. Students would share authority and responsibility with the resource persons on matters related to the fuctioning of the college. Admission would be granted through an interview with a committee made up of students and resource people, based on . purposely vague criteria. Potential ability to work within IS. structure, and benefits to be gained by the individual through such work were such criteria. *

Admissions

s

closed

The college was sent up by an inter-faculty council whit h hired a playJaxk Grey, wright, Keith Rowe of the faculty of mathematics, and Alice Koller, a graduate of Radcliffe to act as resource people. In early August the resource people separately interviewed propective students, accepting about twelve. At this time Gordon was hired as a part-time resource person. The admissions procedure was then changed, and the three full-time resource people together interviewed applicants. About fifteen more students were accepted. After the fall term started, the committee makeup was changed to two students and two resource people. Their choices brought the total enrolment to its present level of 55 students. dn november 5 the I.S. management c’ommittee, composed of two resource persons and four students decided to temporarily close admissions. This decision was printed in a newsletter sent to all I.S. people. Since there were some students in other faculties who wished to be interviewed, the decision was questioned. A meeting was called for december 10 to consider reopening admissions. Before the meeting Grey sent a memo to administration president Howie ‘Petch claim-’ ing admissions were to be finally closed december 9. The meeting decided to keep admissions closed. Questions arose regarding

the operation of the unit: Why was it over a month after the november 5 decision before the president was informed? Why in fact was the president informed if the decision was only temporary ? Why was the december 10 meeting not informed of the memo sent to Petch? In sending the memo to the president, before waiting for official confirmation of members that admissions were closed, Grey has undermined the authority of I.S. This definitely runs counter to the Gordon brief, the main foundation of the college. The brief implies that IS. should be a democratic institution - of shared authority and responsibility. Grey has also stated that the resource people are ultimately responsible to the administration for intergrated studies. The Gordon brief and the concept of an “experiment in education” challenges this claim ! Another point of contention is the hiring of an additional resource person for the winter term. The inter-faculty council recommended a ratio of approximately twelve students per resource person. There are currently 55 students and three resource persons. Gordon resigned at the end of the fall berm. This makes the ratio about 18 to one. At a general meeting november 27 the question of additional resource people was raised.’ Grey and Rowe expressed the opinion that, without - extensive advertising for the position, the best possible person could not be selected in time for the winter term. Several students said there were in fact many well-qualified people available to IS. for january. \ Names mentioned included political scientist George Hagformerly at Waterloo ger, Lutheran University and Fred Thompson of the Industrial Workers of the World. A meeting was called december 11 to discuss “visiting professors’ ’ for the winter term, with no mention in the agenda of resource persons. Attempts to bring up the matter of resource people were foiled, on the grounds that was not the reason the meeting was called. Grey proposed, that anyone with a specific individual in mind as a visiting professor submit a written brief to him as soon as possible. He would then show it to the other resource persons for their comments and then would it to the administration for approval.

Who makes

decisions?

On december 15, Mike Corbett gave a brief to Grey, recommending Haggar, who would be on campus from january till may. The brief was not given to the administration until this week, for what we believe are political reasons. Hagger had been released from WLU in 1968 and ,from Southern Univer-

Rhetoric

vs reality

The Gordon brief proposes that students and faculty share in the decision-making processes of the college”. . . . as a somewhat daunting exercise in selfdirection.,” It also suggests that there”be “. . . shared autonomy among college community members.” The democracy implied in the brief is not, however realized in the actual operations of the unit. I The students have been excluded from the final decision-making process on at least two vital occasions. Grey has said that the resource people are ultimately responsible to the administration for the affairs of I.S. This also appears to _ r,un counter to the brief, which declares that “ . . . positions of authority and responsibility would be based upon demonstrable performance rather than rank or length of service. ” While there is no doubt that the unit as a whole bears a responsibility to the administration’ it is not imperative’ as Grey claims, that the resource people alone must carry the burden. He maintains this position on the basis of rank instead of “demonstrable performance” thus effectively disqualifying the students from demonstrating their potential capabilities. This stand limits the educational opportunities and experiences which should be available in integrated studies. The underlying philosophy of Gordon’s brief is one of a cooperative, democratic institution in which ALL members of the unit share in the decision-making process and the responsibilities inherent in the process. In this way everyone shares in the ultimate rewards arid benefits of such an exercise. The present structure denies the students, the opportunity to participate in such processes. \ Such a structure belies the claim of an “experiment in education” and in fact relegates integrated studies to the status of simploy another department in the university in which the students no longer have to skip classes since they don’t have any.

There was an old lady who lived in Ashoe, which is a small fishing village on the shores of lake Erie. She had so many children that her OHSIP payments worked out to just under $1.17 a head. $1.16 ahead to be exact. Even with the generous government baby bonus, she had trouble keeping food on the table. Finally she got a new table and nothing fell off anymore. This severly handicapped two of the children. One, the hero of our tale who was too small to reach over the barbed wire the old woman had installed, and his little brother Spot who had a lot of hair and was a slow learner. So slow was he that the .only words he knew were “bow-wow”, “yap”, and “grrrr”.

The hero of this delightful epic had one dream throughout all his life. He would go to university and get learned and then he would never starve ever again. Unfortunately for Ak, and that was his name, he choose to go to the University of -Waterloo. He went to h is kindergarten guidance counsellor one day and the counsellor asked him if

he was planning .on taking the writing, arithmetic and social science option or the popular 6 year reading, art and phys-ed program. Well Ak had been really good on stress diagrams for travois in the advanced nursery school class and so he went the full 8 years. We must also remember that the 6 year program led to community colleges and other dead end institutions, which was the determining factor in his choice but he was trying to impress the guidance counsellor with his knowledge of travois. All through highschool he dreamed of going to uniwat. He dreamed while he walked double file on the right, and while he didn’t use the front lobby stairs, and while he responded automatically to bells (Pavlov would be envious ) . Finally he came to the famous Duckworth Learning Place and joined a line. “What’s your name where are you from?” asked the new registrar-cum-computer. “Ak Ashoe” said Ak. The computer- thought for a few moments and replied, “Gazunteit”.

_ A plan to develop mid-Canada the free enterprise way came under attack from a member of the Free North Movement. The Mid-Canada Foundation is interested only in the “rape for profit” of that area’s natural resources, Jim Harding told delegates to the national conference of Canadian University~Press, held on campus recentlY* Mid-Canada is rich in such> resources as pulp, paper, oil and gas, Mr. Har.ding told the delegates. And the advisory committee of the foundation is composed of representatives of every major natural resource company in the country. Mr. Harding said the record of the companies concerned was one of exploitation of resources without any regard to the future of an area and its people.

under

He pointed to such cities as Trail, B.C. and Sudbury, Ont. as examples of a profitbefore-social-values approach to resource development: Pollution of air and water in these areas has resulted because it was not in the interests of the corporations involved to move slow. Before Mr. Harding spoke, an ecologist, John Hopkins, an advisor to the foundation, told the delegates the foundation’s main purpose was to see that the north was developed with regard to considerations other than profit. “We are concerned that this area not be raped like it has been in the past,” said Mr. Hopkins. I Mr. Harding however said it was unrealistic to believe the same companies that had destroyed towns in the ,past were suddenly mending their ways.

This message

is addressed students, grads, staff and who are buying CI new car in the near

attack The government, working in the interests of the corporations, takes the taxpayer’s money to “subsidize the infrastructurethe railways. . . .” and lets the companies do whatever they feel is necessary to show a large profit. Richard Roehmer the For example, foundation’s founder, is a former conservative candidate in Ontario. And it was the government of Ontario that sponsored the foundations first conference whi’ch was held last summer at the Lakehead. But not only the governments are pawns of the corporations ; so are the universities,” said Mr. Hardins. The men who sit on the boards of directors of the big corporations also sit on the boards of the universities. Mr. Hopkins agreed with Mr. Harding that private enterprise was not concerned with anything else but profit in the north.

Melville Watkins, economist at the Uiherdty of Tb-mto, speaks to delegates of the Canadian University Press conference held on campus during the Christmas recess.

Watkins assails need for federal policies Ron Cracker Canadian University

Press

Federal policies to fight economic inflation are irrelevant because Canada does not have a national economy, says Melville Watkins, a professor of economics at the University of Toronto. New Democratic Watkins, Party organizer and author of the controversial Watkins Manifesto which warns that economic survival is Canada’s most pressing problem, told delegates at the convention of the Canadian University Press recently that it is senseless for the Trudeau government to adopt an inflation policy for Canada because the Canadian economy is almost completely American-controlled. “The immediate question is not inflation because we no longer have an economy. It has dissintergrated. “The inflation policy is as useless as Canada’s foreign policy which fails to deal with the country- the U.S.-with which Canada conducts 95 per cent of her foreign relations.” Watkins calls Canada’s economy a “branch plant” of the American economic empire and warns that American dominance is in_ creasing with the trend towards conglomerates. “There is more to worry about than the other countries, particularly Japan, are competing with the economic control of countries like Canada. ’ ’ Watkins echoed his manifesto that democratic socialism is the only solution to the nation’s economic ills but thought it unlikely that the socialist alternative will be reached in the 70s. “The Future looks bleak even though the present has become

intolerable for many Canadians. ” The key to democratic socialism lies in re-distribution of political power and income “but there is little power left. ..it has in board been concentrated rooms south of the border.” Watkins sees repercussions of the branch-plant economy in all aspects of Canadian life. “Unions, universities the press, even domestic politics are controlled to varying degrees by imperiaAmerican economic lists. “Even education is being discouraged because the elitist groups who perpetuate the syseducated themtem poorly selves and realize that if they are to maintain power education must be discouraged. ” He also forecast an increase in anti-imperalist sentiment which he says will continue in Canada for the same reasons that sparked it in the U.S. Watkins said no solution is possible in the present political structure because the Liberals are representing big business and the Progressive Conservatives can only get power when they are led by a “populist” like former prime minister Diefenbaker. “Neither party can be expected to fight foreign ownership because neither sees it as Canada’s greatest problem.” .

HEN I SAY THAT I am opposed to the statement of university jurisdiction issued by administration president Howard Petch, it is not because it is inaccurate or ‘because it is a change in direction with which I disagree. In fact, it is a correct outline of what the authority of the university is with regard to the conduct of its faculty, students and staff, and does not contain any substantial differences with the way in which this authority is now used. Its main purpose seems to be merely to assure the public, the board of governors, and the faculty association that everything is under control. Nor does my disagreement stem from an opposition to peaceful and co-operative carrying out of the work of the university. I oppose this disciplinary power because it is a weapon of defence for irresponsible authority whose structure closes the avenues of peaceful change, and renders nearly every act of creativity, every attempt at change, necessarily disruptive. I am also in opposition to the statement and the recommendation for an interim advisory committee and a task force, because the way they h’ave come about reflects the emptiness of the university administration’s calls for mutual trust and co-operation. Therefore, it is necessary to review what has transpired over the past two or three years concerning the question of conduct and discipline.

Soon after that demonstration, Dr. Petch, experiencing his first year at the university; came to students’ council to ask its opinion on how demonstrations should be handled by the university. He indicated at that time that he favoured some kind of “‘code of conduct” which would define acceptable conduct and provide procedures for dealing with violations of it. Council stated its opposition to any code, and recommended that the university use its discretion when demonstrations occurred. The administration acquiesced for the time being with that suggestion. In the meantime, the president’s advisory committee on student discipline and university regulations was conducting a study of discipline and judicial procedures in the university. Its final report, which came down during study, recommended that the civil and criminal codes be the only rules governing the conduct of members of the University, and that the public courts be the only authorities to deal with violations of them. This policy was not officially adopted, but it was adopted in practice, and since then, cases of minor theft and vandalism which were formerly frequently dealt with by the university, have been prosecuted in the public courts. PACSDUR specifically rejected the concept of double jurisdiction, even though it is legally possible. In the spring of 1969, soon after my election to the presidency of the federation, Petch told me that he believed the PACSDUR recommendations to be inadequate. He posited a ‘zgray area” of conduct that had unique ramifications to the university and which was not adequately covered by the civil and criminal laws. Consequently, some means of dealing with this area internally would be desirable. During the summer of 1969, the committee

At that time, I attempted to draft restrictions on the university’s disciplinary power, which, although it was impossible to make them airtight, would be and large make the principles of the PACSDUR report part of the act. However, the wording eventually adopted by the committee left the power substantially unchanged. The committee did agree, however, that the act should not specifically provide for any particular judicial structure. ~ During that summer, Petch came to my office to suggest that a working group be established to investigate the desirability of a standing body to deal with questions of human rights. As he was preparing to leave Waterloo for a time, he did not have time to fully explain his idea, but he mentioned questions of racial discrimination as an example, and referred me to the Ontario human rights code, which he said specifically excluded universities from its jurisdiction. He also said that the recommendations of the interim group would not be implemented without the approval of the. federation, the faculty association, and the president’s council. Largely because of this last provision, the federation agreed to participate. I wrote to Petch. however, that we believed that the question of human rights was inseparable,, from the consideration of the whole range of conduct involving the rights and responsibilities of people toward one another, and that the policy on human rights could not be separ-

ceeding improperly”. Dr. Fetch explained in his letter of October 27 that he had not been specified in the letter which established the group because he had discussed it with me “at length”. This is as I pointed out earlier, simply nottrue. He suggested that since the human rights group could not deal with the whole question of conduct, he would be willing to consider creating yet another committee. Students’ Council decided in November to remain represented on the human rights group in order to retain the veto, but decided that since -on the assumption that the PACSDUR findings were adequately researched and a.cceptable, it had never developed its own statement on discipline-it would establish a committee chaired by John Battye to work on the problem. Mr. Battye intended to seek faculty and staff representation on the committee, and to begin work on it immediately after the Christmas recess. He also intended that this committee discuss the entire decision-making structure, because the rules and procedures in the disciplinary area are only meaningful in relation to the objects and structures of the institution whose peace, order and good government they are intended to guarantee. In’ light of the difficulties that had arisen from attempting to work on committees whose terms of reference were determined by the administration, a federation-sponsored committee was felt to be the only means of developing a satisfactory report. I will not dwell on the contents of the statement on jurisdiction which has recently been issued by Dr. Petch, because it is little more than a description of the present system, and is in fact entirely consistent with the current policies, functions and structures of the university. I will refer to some points.

-Five points

of contention

IN LOCO PARENTIS-this gives the administration much the same authority over people as the parent has over the underage offspring. Petch posits two kinds of behaviour -that which is strictly individual and that which affects others. He does not explain how the distinction is made, and this is hardly surprising, because that could only be done by completely abstracting the question, and committing questionable logical acrobatics. It is included only to justify the retention of control 0 ver people’s political activities. Moreover, the ability to decide whether be-

to others

rests

with

DOUBLE JURISDICTION-this is the only item in the statement that indicates any change in direction. Double jeopardy has not occurred since the publication of the PACSDUR report. However, the power to use it was never abolished, and the president was free to revive it at his discretion. It has been revived to allow for university control of the “gray area” which Petch identified at a faculty association meeting as “disruption and dis sent”, i.e. political activity. ‘FREEDOM OF INQUIRY, PUBLICATION, AND SPEECH”-this is, an abstract freedom, divorced from any real social and political context. They are good and necessary freedoms, but are meaningless in themselves. Freedom of speech, for example, can be easily permitted by the most repressive regime, as long as the means of implementing the changes spoken of are tightly controlled. Moreover, these freedoms in themselves cannot relate to any concept of social responsibility. A social scientist working on the refinement of social control by a ruling elite is permitted to do so because of his ‘freedom” of inquiry, yet the real content of his activity is that he is an active participant in the operation of oppression. But the clincher is really that, once again, in any situation in which there is a conflict, the administration, and in particular the president, have the sole power to decide whose activity they wish to defend. ‘PEACEFUL, NON-DISRUPTIVE”, ‘SIMPLY OBSTRUCTIVE”, and “DISRUPTIVE”, “VIOLENT OR DESTRUCTIVE*’ demonstrationsthis is just empty double-talk for two reasons. First, the president and the other administrators will decide what the “normal operation of the university” is. Anything which actively counters their definition is disruptive. I Second, the statement also says the university will not allow action “which threatens or intimidates visitors and members of the university”. Hence, if the president considers a peaceful demonstration to be potentially disruptive, he can have it stopped. INTERIM ADVISORY COMMITTEE-students, faculty and staff will be allowed to participate in the administration of the university jurisdiction, but the president (and ultimately, of course, the board of governors) retains the power to decide. Representative participation is, therefore, only a cover for presidential power.

Even if the committee had final say in all disciplinary matters, the situation would be essentially unchanged, because the power at any given time to define what constitutes the “normal operations” and what, therefore, disruptive and threatening activities are, remains with the president and the administration.

The real issues What I am suggesting by all this is that it would be pointless for us to criticize the disciplinary powers themselves, and to seek concessions there. The present system is a perfect complement to the present nature of the university, and if the university continues as a non-democratic structure no change is necessary. .Only if the university becomes a democratic institution will change in the disciplinary procedures be necessary and meaningful. Thus, the real issues that are brought to light by the statement are the fundamental structures and content of the university, and to democratize the regulation of conduct, it will be necessary to democratize the governing structures, the structure of the classroom, and to expose the ideological nature of course content, and put an end to the domination of society by the corporate ruling class. The reform of discipline is only a part, and a relatively insignificant part, of that process of change. In the meantime, the disciplinary power and the state power that backs it up will doubtless be used against many who seek change. In the undemocratic structure of the university, all power is in the hands of the minority, and no channels for change, through co-operative, democratic activity, exist. Almost all creative, ’ democratic activity is rendered necessarily disruptive. While the administrators seek to stamp out violence by maintaining a repressive’system, they spend every day making violence. Tom Patterson President Federation of Students,

Student Power and the Canadian Edited by Tim and Julyan Reid

Campus

Despite its unfortunately gruesome decorations (sensational photos of placard-carrying students con.fronting police), for the most part this book is an indepth study of what is going on in Canadian universities and high schools and probably the best on this subject. Tim Reid, economics profl at York university together with his wife Julyan, a social scientist and teacher, have given a great deal of thought to the subject. They have collected a variety of authors, but their own essays are among the most perceptive. Unfortunately, some major gaps appear and some material is very superficial. The Reids have bitten off more than they can chew. They have tried to give the full range of student revolt in Canadian high schools and universities -everything from the Strax affair at the University of New Brunswick, and the Anderson affair at Sir George Williams University through to the new women’s campaign for educational, economic and social equality and experimental high school programs in Ontario and British Columbia.

4TH WEEK Nightly 7 & 9:15 Matinee Saturday and Sunday at 2 pm

The debate between George Woodcock and Robert Rae as to whether student revolt is a new manifestation of fascism, in chapter six, was interesting if not enlightening. The final-section of the book, Protest: The canadian high school scene, made the most exciting (and perhaps to most people will make the most disturbing) reading. It’s pretty obvious, that, as Al Jolson used to say, “You ain’t heard nothing yet! ” These pieces, covering complaints of high school students across Canada about overcrowded classrooms, bad teaching, rotten textbooks and arbitrary discipline by teachers, principals and school boards, through the somewhat muted complaints of students at the Ontario College of Education over the worthlessness of their curriculum, suggest that today’s university radicals are going to seem like academic Uncle Tom’s compared with tomorrow’s high school graduates. Before that happens, though, a great many people are going to have to inform themselves of precisely what it is these students will be objecting to, not just professors and teachers and school boards or boards of governors, but government personnel and the public at large. So far, despite its faults, this book provides the most concentrated information about what is happening-and will happen-on Canadian campuses.

Much of the excitment over The Band’s upcoming tour of southern Ontario is due to the fact that fourfifths of the group was born and raised in the area. Its not just the fans that are excited, the group want’ ed to do this tour for a long time and for them it’s a homecoming. They started out in 1960 when Ronnie Hawkins and Levon Helm, two good old boys from Arkansas, began to gather local talent to tour the Ontario bar circuit. Through trial and error they assimilated Robbie Robertson (Toronto), Garth Hudson (London), Richard Manuel (Stratford) and Rick Danko (Simcoe) into a group called The Hawks. The Hawks were a regional success and cut a few records on (what else? ) the Hawk label. Hawkins, an amalgam of Conway Twitty and Elvis made money and began to build a tight often brutal organization. Musically, he had high standards and

ground

tended to dominate the boys who either played concise, together, background or didn’t play at all. It was through Hawkins that The Band picked up their incredibly precise professionalism, and got turned on to the rustic, indigenous folk music of down home America-best exemplified by their lastest single, Up on cripple creek. Not particularly liking a future as backup men, they split with Hawkins and kicked around as Levon and the Hawks. They were soon back at it again though, backing Dylan when he first went electric. From here on in it was a question of getting closer to rural America. Living as a family at Big pink, it all came together. The Band was a long time coming as Robbie Robertson said, but we paid our dues. We don’t need a name like The peanut butter conspiracy, The Band speaks for itself. Hear it for yourself, in Guelph tonight, Massey hall in Toronto, tomorrow night and McMaster on sunday.

“I wanted freedom plus the opportunity to get out and meet people?

.

Before graduating with his B.A. degree from the University of Toronto in 1964, Bill Jackson decided that whatever line of work he chose, he didn’t want to go behind a desk. “That sounded like work,” he says, “but what I wanted was freedom - plus the opportunity to get out and meet people.” Bill chose a career as a group benefits specialist, and he now says, “It hasn’t really been work - it’s been pure enjoyment. Of course, I’m not trying to make it sound easy, but I receive more than a regular salary to compensate for the extra effort I’ve put into it.” Bill’s “extra effort” has paid off in other ways, too: he moved quickly through supervisory positions and was recently named a sales management assistant in Halifax.

Belewicz (12), LozynskJl and Western’s Brown show you mustget off the ground to rebound.

The last part of the first half belonged to Western as their defence got tighter and on offence Dave McGuffin, Bruce Dempster, and Bob Larose started sinking their shots. Amongst the three, they got 24 per cent of Western’s half time points and took a 34-32 ,half time 1lead. Both teams came back to grab the lead- in the second half but neither had it when the full time buzzer sounded. Bob Larose and Al Brown were protecting the Western basket and spent much of the second half stuffing warrior layups back down our heroes’ throats The warriors gave away 12 more turnovers, making 25 for the game. Many of them were long passes intended for the fast break which seldom clicked. A 63-63 full time score set the stage for a five minute overtime period which saw the warriors come from a 4 point defecit to that pass which almost won it all. Waterloo scoring finally evened out as Jaan Laaniste got 15 points. Tom Kieswetter 14, and Paul Bilewicz 11. Walt, Lozynsky also sunk 11 and was shot from the sidelines. Unfortunately he shot only 14 times. Bruce Dempster got 18 points for Western and Al Brown came on strong in the second half to finish with 16 points. This has been mentioned before but the warriors still like to do it. Several times the warriors could have slowed up the play, calmed down and avoided costly mistakes, including , 5 straight turnovers in a row under the Western basket. Mistakes such as these are understandable considering that the warriors are, for the most part, a rookie team, and victim to inexperience, but a shooting percentage of 0nLy 29 per cent is inexcusable when the name of the game is scoring poiin ts. Warriors play the U. of T. next Wednesday at York’s north campus, and are not home again until the 30th of january . -

Chevron staff

Well group, how did you sleep Wednesday night? Did you toss and‘ squirm and curse as you relived the anguishing dying seconds of Wednesday night’s basketball game? ’ Did you quietly sob yourself to sleep, a vision stamped on your mind of Jaan Laaniste racing for the game-winning break-away pass that never reached him? Or did you get ploughed at the pub and forget how yo,u slept’ (if you did)? Whatever the case, the story is the same: Western mustangs 69, Waterloo warriors 68-in overtime! If you missed the game, overtime ended with this heartbreak. The score is 69-68, Western up, and-oh, no! -Western is shooting a foul (Our father who art in . . . ) . They missed, warriors got the rebound-there’s Laaniste breaking down the court; he’s open ; the long pass. Western’s Bob LaRose scrambles backward, jumps, stretchesHell! He got it, the game ends and the score is unchanged. That finish was completely unlike the beginning. As the fans instituted the new “applause until the first basket” tradition, Tom Kieswetter opened the scoring. __ The warriors had the mustangs running around without their horseshoes, as they took an early 10-l lead and, for the first ten minutes of play, looked really sharp. Guards Laaniste and Kieswetter were covering the Western guards closely as they brought the ball up the court and forced several- steals and give-aways. And /after the steals the warriors were breaking fast and ’ looking for the open man. Paul Bilewicz again played strongly, collecting 11 rebounds and 7 pounts in the first half. He and Walt Lozynsky did an outstanding job rebounding but both got into foul trouble and Bilewicz spent most of the second half on the bench because of it.

The-swimming warriors won a meet and lost a meet last saturday as they hosted Windsor and ‘Toronto in the first home stand of the season. Under the double-dual format of the meet, Waterloo whipped Windsor 72-41, but went down by 77-35 to Toronto. The blues, defending Canadian swim champs also defeated Windsor 85-28. The blues swam off with victories in ‘both relays and seven of the nine individual events. The only man to break the monopoly was Waterloo’s George Roy, who won his specially, the 200 metre butterfly and the 500 metre freestyle. Roy’s time of 2:15.3 in the butterfly was over thirteen seconds faster than his nearest competitor and almost a full minute over the third place finisher . In the day’s most exciting race, Roy missed the sweep as he lost the 200 individual medley by two-tenths of a second to Toronto’s’Terry Bryon, the OQAA medley champion, who had a time of 2 :,13.3 The warriors showed up very well in the diving events as only Windsor’s Brian Gateman

prevented Brain Hilko and Lester Newby- from finishing one-two in both events. Gateman’s win on the onemetre board marked the first time the warriors have been beaten in that competition. He nosed out Hilko, 135.6 to 133.37 with Newby finishing third. The warriors reversed the order in the three-metre competition with Newby winning over Hilko and Gateman. Warriors, with only nine swimmers, were hampered by the loss of their backstrokers, particularly Brian Bachert, to co-op work terms. As a result, they did not compete in the medley relay and had to do some juggling in order to enter other, events. Doug Lorriman had to pass up one of his favourite events, the 500 metre freestyle, in favour of the 200 backstroke, which he swam along with Jim Frank. With the OQAA finals still six weeks away, the times were generally slow, although four pool records were set. The blues set them all. They swam the 400 metre relay in 4:03.5. Mike Guiness took almost’ two minutes off the 1000 metre mark with a time of 10:57.4. Bryon was clocked in 2:18.3 in the 200 backstroke

and the team knocked 10 seconds off the 400 metre freestyle relay to 3:35. The warrior squad was generally pleased with the-results, which _ included ten victories over Windsor in thirteen events. They reduced Toronto’s margin in an earlier meet by a dozen .points, although it will be difficult to dent the blues powerful line-up much farther. Swimming *fans, and there were a lot in evidence on Saturday, will get their fill this week-end. This afternoon. and evening the athenas are hosting an international meet with several teams coming up from the states. These teams include three girls from Michigan State who won five medals among them in the Mexico City Olympics. One, Pamela Kruse, held the world record. in freestyle evehts at 200,400, and 800 metres two years ago. This meet will be run in a” championship format with qualifying heats starting at 2 pm and finals in all events going at 7 pm. (and won’t the pool be crowded. I hope no one dives on / them. ) ‘Tomorrow, the warriors host Ryerson, R.M.C., and York in a four way meet commencing at 2pm. 1

You’r not too recent item “How to= avoid spending $16” (Nov. 21, 1969) might have made some readers prematurely optimistic about “tow-away” practices at this university. Not only did you underestimate the charge for the service of towing away a car (there _ is also an additional $2 fee for breaking into a locked car), but you did not tell it like it is. Through bitter experience I learned that in addition to the infractions you cited, cars are towed away for what was described as “obstructing a PUC bus”. Interpreted, this reads “leaving only 30 feet of clearance” through which the skillful bus driver must thread his vehicle. What a sad reflection on the ability of the local bus driver. That our campus cops found this worthy of a tow-away -leads me to wonder about their sense of judgement, or the wisdom of their instructions and those who issue their instructiobs. But my greatest reservations are about the competence of the members of the traffic and parking appeals board. Although they denied my detailed appeal “pnly after careful consideration”, they did not state why they arrived at that decision. One might assume that they too believe that a bus requires more than 30 feet for passage. But perhaps this assumption is off-target. Maybe the appeal board is just a put-on, whose function is to rubberstamp approval of all actions by the campus cops as a vote of confidence to boost morale. Maybe those rumors that no student has qversuccessfully appealed a towaway charge are true. Maybe the reasons for denying my appeal was not specified because it was not related to the facts of that particular case. Lest it be thought that I am slinging dirt, let me reassure you that is’ not my purpose. In the true spirit of all good citizens’ of this university community, I am merely seeking to become more knowledgeable, and to have my confidence in the fairness of the .appeals board reinforced. The following questions seem relevent : -What qualifications are required of members of the appeals boa’rd? -Why are ‘their meetings closed? and, Why must appeals be submitted in ‘miting only?

poverty problems give -analysis

This letter is simply to domment on an insertion captioned “Visit sunny India” in last friday’s issue. Personally I never had any high opinion of the Chevron and hence do not take its contents any seriously; however, I am amazed to notice the existance of a few totally uncivilized and ignorant individuals in B progressive country like Canada, the country which sends CUSO missions to developing nations. Unfortunately, information. to some cheap papers seems to come through- a few individuals (like my friend) who are liabitual of looking ~for the bulge in other’s pants and they do find it iince it does exist. Where lies the fault if they do not have enough sense to nbtice other parts which may give much morepleasure to look at? To some other the only measure of progress seems to be the strength in terms of nuclear weapons and, of cou?se, atmospheric pollution. Anyhow, nothing to argue at this- point; I fully admit that poverty in india does exist as it does in many other countries victim of imperialism; - I don’t intend to relate the ‘whys’ of the matter. The whys of the matter may not -be known to those unclad children playing in sewages, who sleep on sidewalks and live in streets, to whom my friend has so shamelessly referred. They may not know who robbed them of their clothes, their homes, their fundamental rights, the rich heritage of their ancestors, who enslaved their grand-grandparents, and so on. They may not know it but the rest of the civfiized world knows it and even my friend, if he has even vague knowledge about Indian history, must know it all. Continuous drainage of national wealth for 4 solid three and half centuries reduces any nation to a nation of unclad children, if that pleases my friend. Forgetting about many other bitter facts, I admit that many developing nations are facing multidimensional problems, and of course where applicable, are thankful to many advanced countries including Canada for catalysing their process oi? -developemen t . The nations con-

are fully aware of the problems and are doing their best to solve them.

cerned

In the meantime, let my friends leave the responsible people to do the thinking and keep their dirty noses out of it if unconstructive criticism -is all they can do. Let us rise above these stupidities and do some mature thinking.

Indians upset over gd ‘facts concerning India

on

Sir, The ad on India in last friday’s issue of the Chevron wa’s, we understand, not a paid ad at all, but was inserted by a member or members of the Chevron Editorial Board. As the ad was extremely scurrilous and derogatory in nature we would very much like to know which of the Chevron staffers considers himself to be such an absolute authority on India that he can make such defamatory remarks with abandon. Of course, one could always obtain the figures stated from some reliable, published source. In that case, is it too much _to ask for the source of this information? let’s- not have But please, reporting from biased any sources, like maybe, the i Commie magazines. Moreover,., if the ad was not inserted by the Editorial Board but only by certain members it would have been very much appreciated if they had guts enough to- print their names. But ’ then maybe, they were yello-y. In -which case we can understand their point of view. They would not like their names to be attached to an ad whose content, to put it very politely, is entirely a fabrication. From our phone call to the Chevron, we understand that even Chevron staffers are not quite sure who inserted this ad. This just goes to show how an extremely incompetent bunch of people are running the Chevron. May we suggest that if we do nol have people in this University who are capable of running a student newspaper, the Federation stop wasting our money on this apology of a newspaper and put it to some better use. . SANTOS

feedback Chevron staff like crusading

intellectuals christians

First of all let me say that I am no great supporter of either the engineering society or the strippers who entertain them. However, it is ludicrous for the Chevron to imply that student council should not suspend their funds because they are aiding and abetting the oppression of women. It seems to me that the Chevron staff sees itself as some kind of intellectual elite which has cornered the market on truth and righteousness. If you want to change the engineering society and its values then show them a better way, give them a viable alternative. But don’t try to ram your values down their throats. Christianity by the sword is no longer Christianity. BERNARD R. CLICK grad chemistry Integrated says

things

studies aren’t

student so bad

In an article alledgedly done by Ken Fraser in the Jan. 13 edition of the Chevron, there many fallacies. It was pleasant to hear that Jack Gray, integrated studies resource person, has been made associate dean of arts as well. Unfortunately, this is just not true. Integrated studies, unit one, has not lived up to the definition from Don Gordon quoted but it is continually coming closer to that position, at least in my personal position. Structurally we do not have that “high degree of shared authority, etc.” that is so important to the success of the unit. We are still working within the original structures that we the students set up. This has not worked but it reason to to consider not that we are falling apart for lack of interest in the topics. At the last two general meetings, at which little structurally was accomplished, we had over forty people start the meetings

Derry, Michener,

/

but we also had the customary disintegration to a smaller size so common to group meetings. Mr. Corbett feels that we are not moving ahead fast enough but also seems to feel we should open admissions to let more creative people in. At the present the problems in keeping track of who we have in the program and what they are doing are large enough. More unfamiliar with the people, structural hassles, would simply cause more and unnecessary confusion. This was a program started from scratch in august and september. Its growing pains have been many and varied and will continue over all the demands and hassles from Mike Corbett. The problems are just there and will be solved but not necessarily to Mr. Corbett’s satisfaction. RICK DeGRASS integrated studies

HE FOCUS ON interpersonal/boy-girl relations worked well in the interest of the bourgeoisie who could control the youth while at the same time creating mass consumer man, in I this case, youth. All of one’s energies were channelled into these pseudo-problem areas in the sense that what is really a social problem was defined in terms of an individual abberation.

to the earlier 50’s, the similarity is evident, particularly in the following passage: “They, the young, couldn’t care less about the old stiffassed honkies who don’t like their new dances: frug, monkey, jerk, swim, watusi. All they know is that it feels good to swing to way-out body rhythms instead of drag&sing across the dance floor. like zombies to the dead beat of mind smothered mickey mouse music. ”

The biggest problem was not the kind of society that forces the fetishization on one’s .penis ; but simply, can i make it with Marsha on Saturday night? Further the social relations were of course not healthy ones. That is, there was almost no real sexuality and everything was defined as neat and clean, maltshop romances. Given this, the control factor was not very problematic.

Yet it must be kept in mind that the dances were always confined to certain “acceptable” forms and in this respect served as an excellent means for channelling this emerging sensuality.

T

“The Pleasure Principle absorbs the Reality Principle, sexuality is liberated or rather liberalized in socially constructive forms. This notion implies that there are repressive modes of desublimation, compared with which the sublimated drives and objectives contain more deviation, more freedom, and more refusal to heed the social taboo’s.”

At the same time the consumerization (proletarianization) of youth was progr-essing well. Besides the usual cultural items such as radios, records, etc., one had to have the “right” commodities in order to make it socially (mouthwash, acne cream, hair tonic). Mass consumer youth was being created. Ewen has an excellent discussion of the rise of social psychology as an ideology for control and consumerization. He quotes social psychologist F.H. Allport: “Our conciousness of ourselves is largely a reflection of the consciousness which others have of us.. .My idea of myself is rather my own idea of my neighbor’s view of me.”

Progressive

The history of rock and roll dances is the history of the emergence of a more liberating sensuality until in the late 1960’s the dance almost totally rejects all traditional western forms and refuses to be structured even within the standardized confines of dances such as the Jerk, and Watusi. As late as 1967 the American Broadcasting Company was still trying to market the “bugaloo” - dance, dress, TV show, etc. But it was evident at this time that youth were demanding more of their culture than another plastic commodity. The bugaloo didn’t make it. Most white and black up-tempo rock and roll-music evidenced this emerging sensuality in terms of form. Probably the best example artistically -was Little Richard. He moved, sweated screamed and, in general, tried to break through the - pseudo-individually of previous “stars” and assert himself j as a real individual. Listen to “Jenny, Jenny”. But even here it was still the Little Richard of the diamond rings, the expensive cut-rite suits, and processed hair. The rock-sale system had forced Little Richard to sell himself. In some cases the sensuality also came across in content, usually in a somewhat vulgarized form as ‘in Hank Ballard and the Midnighters “Work with me Annie”, “Annie had a Baby”, Consequently banned from radio air play. Nevertheless a type of sexual consciousness was developing and the songs sold well. As usual the conservative bourgeoisie got very nervous.

directions

Nevertheless, there was struggle and in the face of malt-shop romanticism there emerged with and through this music two semi-progressive elements : sensuality even though channelled, and rebellion though primitive, and concomitantly, a growing sense of community. That is, in the struggle of the youth culture to become itself in opposition to the attempted mass bourgeoisifican be found the beginning cation, of social consciousness. The sensual element came primarily through the musical form, especially in the work of black rock,and roll artists, although Elvis Presley was also a help. The heavy up-beat rhythms, shouts and screams, and bodily movement in the face of a white musical culture that was totally anti-sensual was a progressive step. Dancing, as in the jitterbug was serving to bring to consciousness the recognitions of one’s body. That is, it was an unsophisticated attempt to overcome the mind-body alienation. Eldridge Cleaver inSoul On Ice says : “.Bring Crosbyism, Perry Comism Dinah Shoreism had led to cancer, the vanguard of white youth knew it.”

records over the air as a daily ritual. Iowa - the radio station got so carried away after banning “suitable” rock records that even songs from the broadway musical “Damn Yankees” were kept off the air. Washington - a senate subcommittee began looking into the correlation between R&R and juvenile delinquency. in an editorial New York - Variety, entitled “A Warning to the music business” said “The most casual look at the current crop of lyrics must tell even the most niaeve that dirty postcards have been translated into songs”. Another article in Variety stated that R&R would make “a negative global impression for the U.S.” The other element that I have termed progressive in this music was the primitive rebellion (as expressed in gut level social commentary) that helped build a sense of youth solidarity. Most of the social comment was very low level with an almost total lack of historical analysis - but it spoke to the masses of youth who were experiencing a tremendous sense of alienation. The comments were primarily directed at the authority figures - parents, teachers, and the social system in general. The alternative to this opressive system was always the youth rock culture (which was for the most part under the control of bourgeois productive relations ) .

Rock

li-7 work

Some criticisms however were also directed to the work place - e.g. the Silhouettes’ “Get a job,” Fats Domino’s ‘ ‘Blue monday ’ ’ , and The Coaster’s “Quarter to eight”, which contained the lines “I’m tied to my job, my boss is a big fat slob”.. The bulk of the musical criticism, however, was directed towards the authority figures. Even the police arrest system came in for some criticism as a Kafkaesque procedure in the Coaster’s “Framed”. Most of the other Coasters’ songs dealt with parents ( “Y ackety-yak”) and the school system ( “Charlie Brown”). They were speaking to youth who were feeling the same kinds of frustrations the Coaster’s were describing. But again, the dissent was contained within the traditional structures. Charlie Brown, in opposition to the school authority, instead of becoming a leader of organized resistance, was “the clown.” The bourgeoisie wanted to keep it that way. Chuck Berry transcended this. While never getting quite to the level of the protest songs of the sixties, Berry told it like it was. “No particular place to

go” sang of youthful alienation. “Almost grown” told of having to give up the youth scene to make it in the Establishment. “Sweet little sixteen’ and “Rock and roll music” were fine descriptions of the youth culture. “Too much monkey business” is one of the best pieces of social comment (from the rock culture perspective) at the time. The latter song in both form and content is almost a direct parallel to Dylan’s ‘ ‘Subterranena Homesick Blues’ ‘. As the Rowntrees put it : “. . .the young have taken the mark of their oppression-their youth-and turned it into a signal by which to recognize the fellows with which they wish to express solidarity”. Chuck Berry was a self-conscious rock and roll artist. One of the few who had a sense of history and who understood and sang about the historical importance of the youth culture. That is, Berry grasped the tension between the culture which contained the elements of liberation and the society which repressed the possibility of liberation.

School

days

This tension was captured well in Berry’s “School Days”. The song documents an extremely repressive and typical school day and then states: “Soon as three o’clock rolls around , You finally lay your burden down Close up your books Get out of the seat Down the hall and into the street Up the corner and round the bend Right to the juke joint you go in.” This song was one of the most profound criticisms (in the context of the youth culture) of the knowledge factory versus youth culture to come out of the fifties. There is no doubt that Berry was the spokesman for a growing consciousness. In reference to Mann’s Dr. Faustus Marcuse ‘comments on black music : “In the subversive dissonant, crying and shouting rhythm, born in the “dark continent” and in the “deep south” of slavery and deprivation, the oppressed revoked the 9th Symphony and give art a desublimated sensuous form of frightening immediacy, moving, electrifying the body, and the soul materialized in the body.” Or, as Chuck Berry put it, “Roll Over Beethoven! ” With this kind of music it was very easy to see how a sense of community was beginning to develop. People began to recognize that the problems they were experiencing were not just their own individual problems (although the . bourgeoisie was working hard at attempting to maintain that image). This musical social comment evolved dialectically. The form of the music came into being in opposition to the traditional forms. Yet this new form contained the same old alienated content. The new form thus required an alteration of the content and as the musical history proceeded and the content became mo.re meaningful, new forms were required, as we shall see. Next Issue:

Love and education For some the college of integrated studies represented a genuine attempt at progressive education. Others, however, particularly in administrative positions saw the college as a convenient safetyvalve for student dissent. For them it meant a chance to sap the critical spirit from mainstream educational areas and channel it in a harmless direction. There seems to be an impression that Don Gordon’s brief is a manifesto for a new radically different sort of education-a departure from the degree factory, oriented instead to individual . de velopment and social need. That impression is a delusion. Gordon’s brief is not radical, not in the sense of dealing with root causes. It is highly perceptive and rather imaginative but it doesn’t deal with causes-only symptoms. ’ It co-opts those demanding stuof the highest dents, “frequently intelligence and promise”, who’ question the traditional stultifying system, by giving them a corner in which to do their own thing. The majority, only fit for middle management, “are probably best served by present procedures.” But integrated studies is still part of the technician factory and

its graduates will be the “competent integrators and synthesizers” that business and government now want. So it’s not surprising that the attempts to bring in first Fred Thomson of the Industrial Workers of the World and later George Haggar, both marxist resource people, have met with the bitterest of opposition from faculty and administrative advisors to the college. Look at the resource people in integrated studies. All three are safe, liberal, and ostensibly apolitical people. Officially the university hired them for their academic merit and potenti,al interest to students interested in a progressive format of education. Yet it seems hard to believe that Alice Kohler, who has done work for the U.S. defense department, could be more interesting than Fred Thomson whose stormy history as an organizer for the IWW makes him attractive to “progressive,” people. It would be naive to consider integrated studies in a vacuum. It is fundamentally related to the authoritarian nature of, the university and to the capitalist nature of our economy.

Love and Habitat

.

The 200 empty beds at Habitat represent a crisis point in university residence policy. For the first time in its history the un+ sity has too much residence space. For the first five years of its existence the university continually put academic buildings ahead of residences and only reluctantly undertook the construction of the Village in 1965. Meanwhile the student population grew and placed heavy pressure on the local community to provide housing. In 1963 some students formed the Waterloo Cooperative Residences which soon built Hammarskjold house. The Co-op played a large part in meeting the ’ need for student housing in the early years of the university when the quest for bigness didn’t leave the university any room for consideration of student needs. But university policy changed in the last two years. Residences have become more attractive to build. The provincial government now provides ,100 percent financing so universities do not have to choose between a residence and a new engineering building. Both can be built if they meet formula requirements. But there can be no more Villages; it was too expensive. The government has put a ceiling on the amount of money available per bed. So the cost limitation in conwith unimaginative junction architects lead to unappealing structures like Habitat. But the fees have gone too high. Until this .year there were always.

This sign means peace, love, brotherhood and 1.9 billion retail dollars in the Detroit area.

twice as many applicants as rooms. Now 200 rooms are empty. The situation isn’t going to improve as fees go up next year. Every empty room means that fees go a little higher because the mortgage has to be paid and the money has to come out of the residents’ pockets. And of’ course that leads to a vicious inflationary spiral. Fewer residents rooms mean higher fees mean fewer residents.. . . Residences don’t have to be so expensive. At Carleton University residences don’t have maids; they cost $150 less than Waterloo. The Co-op is owned and operated by students; their fees are $175 lower. The dons and tutors in residences cost every resident $50 a year. The university has reached the point where the residence system is no longer financially viable. The entire system is predicated on full occupancy. Only a fluke in budgeting prevented a disastrous deficit this year. Next year will be a wipe-out. Perhaps the solution is to sell the entire complex to the Co-op. Or if the resident students don’t feel mature enough to manage their own affairs, the residence administration could allow various life styles. Why shouldn’t students be able to forego maid service and pay lower fees? Or why not block rent part of a residence to a group of students who want to set up their own particular experimental college. Why not co-educational living? Residence life need not be as staid and sterile as it traditionally has been.

When they aren’t demonstrating Street Power or Student Power, they’re exhibiting another kind of power: Consumer Power. Right now, the 18-35 segment of the Detroit market buys $495 million worth of automobiles every year. They spend $362 million on food annually. $99 million on apparel, And $96 million on ’ furniture and appliances. A total of $1.9 billion retail dollars every year: . If you want to advertise directly to Detioit’s under-35 market, do it in The Other Section. America’s only “cverground underground newspaper” reaches nearly half a million young adults every Thursday. Specify you want The Other Section. There’s no extra cost.

Love and peace QUESTION: If everybody said “peace and love” like John and Yoko want us to, would wars end? Is war over, “if we want it”? ANSWER: The question isn’t real, because ideas like peace and love don’t exist independent of the social reality in which they exist. That means that masses of people aren’t going to suddenly decide war is over, because the social reality of capitalism is war. What slogans like “peace and love” really do is obscure the underlying reality of that system ie. because people are talking about peace and love, nobody is doing anything about it. We can point to the U.S. peace movement and to the decaying hippie phenomenon to illustrate this simple fact. The unification of these two movements has been symbolized in the phrase “peace and love’ ’ . What has actually happened? Both the peace movement and the hippies have been co-opted and have fallen prey to the lucrative “youth market”. “Peace and love” culture has become a big business for private enterprise, which has had a part in creating

the wars .that John and Yoko want to prevent. “Do your own thing” has been done to death in commercial advertisements-see the Detroit News ad for one rather chilling example. But while we are caught up in our groovy, sensate cultures doing our own thing, other groups are doing their own thing in places like Chicago and Vietnam. So Easy Rider has replaced Doris Day at the theatre, but the structure hasn’t changed; we flock to the show where we passively consume what amounts to our own alienation, and Hollywood makes another killing at the box off ice. And Peace and Love becomes another bulwark in the system of war and destruction that characterize the actions of capitalist countries in other lands. You don’t change reality-especially an oppressive realitythrough ideas ; you change it through action. . That is exactly what “Peace and Love” not only does not provide, but actually prevents.
