Picket lines were set up by the Lathers’ Union local of Kitchener at the married students’ residences, tuesday afternoon. The members of the union are protesting the use of labour from outside the lathers’ union to install dry walls at the residences. Dry walls are prefabricated boards with a plaster center and vinyl coating that are used as partitions for the rooms. These dry walls can be installed either by carpenters or lathers. Industrial Dry Walls is subcontracted by the Cadillac construction company, which is in charge of constructing the residences to install the dry walls. Members of the picketing lathers’ union state that Industrial Dry Walls is hiring scab labour from Toronto and using them instead of members of their union. Members of the Kitchener local have to travel as far as Windsor in order to find employment. Also many members are unemployed. Cadillac Construction states there are no scabs working on the site, and that ’ Industrial Dry Walls hires carpenters to do the job. Conditions of employment on the site state that

Society president Norm Wickstrom expressed his distress in a letter to the queen’s committee. “I feel that you have discriminated against our candidate solely on the basis of her political and social views and have most aptly demonstrated the dire need for her kind of protest. ” Jolley, however, has come to Waterloo. Since Wednesday she has been speaking to students and members of the community about the pageant and liberation in general. She has been making a special effort to speak with the queen candidates. She expressed her desire to talk and act with them as free human beings. “We are all winners. ’ ’ .

Janiel Jolley, protest candidate in the Miss Canadian University pageant, is not attacking the other candidates. In an address Wednesday evening in the campus center, Jolley emphasized her desire to

approach these girls in “a spirit of solidarity and understanding”. “We have to understand the pressures that make women want to compete on the basis of their desirability. Playbov, Glamour, Hollywood-every “area of the media portray an artificial ideal of beauty and personality’ ‘. Joiiey wrote to each of the candidates to notify them of her intention to protest and to reassure them they would not be attacked, because “women have been divided long enough”. Despite the carnival committee’s protestations that the participation of a protest candidate would ruin the pageant’s, “successful nine-year history”, Jolley’s protest was not planned to be disruptive in any way. She devoted a considerable portion of her address to a description of her planned activities. “I had planned to read some of Sylvia Platt’s poetry. Sylvia was a very powerful and beautiful woman who stuck her head in an oven and burnt herself to death at the age of 31. One of the purposes of my protest was to offer the women of Canada an alternative so they no longer are driven to stick their heads in ovens. “When they asked men questions in the process of the judging I was going to demand they ask relevant questions-about the way I relate to the world around me, not to the men I associate with. ” in Jolley saw no purposes wearing freaky clothes to point her protest. She had decid(continued

ed to wear one simple dress for all daytime events and a simple floor-length dress for evening. “I wanted to stress the fact that clothes are to cover you, not to objectify you.” “I am a legitimate candidate,” Jolley emphatically claimed. Since the carnival committee had justified her disqualification on the grounds that she was not a student nor representative of her campus, Jolley stressed her legitimacy. She pointed out that she had proof of the fact that she was registered in first year arts at Simon Fraser. She felt that her campus had shown her representativity by contributing $120 in a ! half-day campaign to raise money for her air fare to Waterloo. “Even last year’s winner of the pageant is in sympathy with me,” Jolley explained, as she discussed the wide-spread support she has been given. During the discussion following Jolley’s talk, the question women’s liberation? ” “Why was debated. “Our purpose is not to liberate ourselves from men but from a mythology that determines’who we are and what we are able to do in a way that denies us the opportunity to act in a creative and human way.” The rest of her talk, however did not show this aspect of her feelings to the satisfaction of the male participants. As Kelly Wilson eng 4 pointed out, “It seems you are for liberation, but you add the prefix ‘women’. I don’t see the need for the prefix.” Barry Caesar hist 4 pointed out that the main question was one that had to be addressed to the people who control this society. “Where are the jobs that will enable all of us to support ourselves and our children so that none of us have to be economically dependant? ” One of the male members of the group expressed concern over groups like SCUM (Society to Cut Up Men). He felt that since they engage in sensational actions they get more news cov- erage than less militant organizations and their anti-man orientation is likely to turn women against liberation. “That’s why we do things like the pageant protest.” Jolley replied. “These organizations reinforce men’s worst fears of liberation but the only way we can counter them is to organize and make our view known. ”

It was also pointed out that men should be able to choose to stay home and do housework if they wanted. Jolley stated that one of the advantages of liberation groups is they teach women to work together and to like other women. Because of the competition for men, women are always divided and have a great deal of difficulty enjoying each others company. And as Jan Williams, integrated studies stressed, women are usually so busy worrying about their make-up and husbands or boyfriends that they are not pleasant to be with. This too, though is a result of the fact that women are taught that their main interest in life is to trap a man, it was stated. One male participant in the discussion wondered why women did not just tell men “get out of my bedroom” when they objectified women. Jolley replied that the point was not to end women’s oppression by cutting women off from men but to free men and women to relate as human beings. -The question to ask in such a situation, Jolley felt, is, “Why do you, insist on objectifying me? Why can’t we relate on the basis of equality and respect for each other’s humanity?”

The radio speech was never broacast-yet old show-biz Agnew got 14,000 letters of praise the next day. No one will admit who slipped. What happened was that UPI, a news service, also makes news tapes used by independent radio stations. A month ago they recorded a full hour of the usual hard hittings, always missing Agnew diatribe. The schedule said it was to be broadcast

over dozens of stations on the week end. But a foul up occurred -not a single station aired the speech. Just the same, come Monday morning, the UP1 office was buried under a flood of 14,000 letters of fulsome praise. There was not a single letter criticizing the speech. Agnew was praised for once again exposing the effete intellectual snobs that marched in the protest parades.

14,000 American citizens went zap over a speech they never heard. Only Spiro can get that. I know of three -New York City TV stations that were forbidden by their management to air the story. Makes one think. Come to think of it, that’s the same number _ of letters that Nixon had on his desk the day after one of his speeches. Makes one think.

council

Making a profit from campus facilities and dominating them is a no-no, student council decided monday in a brisk onehour meeting. Therefore a mo-, tion was passed limiting the number of events that a group can hold on campus to five per term. Arts rep and board of student activities chairman Louis Silcox explained the motion was initiated because the geography and planning club had amassed $3,000 from past events and presently has 65 dates booked. He also said Chris Flemming, planning 4, has made an individual profit of $1,000 by running the events for the club. The motion reads,

“Canadian intellectuals have a colonial mentality. They downgrade anything Canadian and copy from british and american methods” said Leo Johnson at tuesdays meeting to begin a Canadian studies program. The meeting was called to explore avenues for establishing a program to give students an overall view of the problems facing Canada. As well, on the graduate level the program will hopefully fill gaps in Canadian history, produce more Canadian oriented material, and create a greater public awareness of Canada. “The Matthews report diagnosed the problem, but mistook the

symptoms” Johnson continued. He felt the report discredited people trying to alleviate the problem. The report, published last may by Carleton professors Robin Mathews and James Steele, criticized the americanization of Canadian universities, placing the blame on the high percentage of american professors. Present plans for the new program call for a double honors programsetup. One segment would be canadian studies, leaving the other half open for whatever the student wished to take. In the final year of the four year course, interdisciplinary seminars would be held to give

“Harold Cardinal, an indian nationalist, is fairly representative of the extremist leadership which is developing among His claim that Indians today. the recent federal government policy paper on indians is a thinly disguised program of anihilation through assimilation, is extreme exaggeration. ” That was part of the message which professor Morris Zaslow of the university of Western Ontario delivered in AL 113 tuesday afternoon. The lecture was one in a series of special lectures being offered by the history society. The first part of the lecture dealt with a comparative analysis of the indian question. Points of comparison included the french Canadian, the negro in America, and at one point a reference which linked the red power movement with Cuba. Indian leaders, were portrayed as being completely negative in their criticism and attitudes, as being student extremists and as being unfair in their judgement of whites. The second half of the lecture combined a supportive description of the government’s white paper with a critical description of The unjust society by Harold Cardinal. Zaslow’s only comment on the main section of the white paper (which describes how the policy will be put into effect) was that it contains 8400 words. Most comments were

students greater over knowledge. Implementation of the program is scheduled for this fall. Since the original conception of the program, increased enthusiasm for Canadian studies has appeared in several existing departments. The english department now has three half courses in Canadian literature, where it used to have just one. As well, increased enrollment in existing Canadian history courses is evident. An informal committee of faculty and students was formed at tuesdays meeting to make a survey of other Canadian content courses available and make recommendations for the new program.

In the future, any group on campus, excluding the federation of students and society weekends, shall be able to have the use of the campus centre pub once per month and any other facility once, I.E., food services for a dance, to the maximum of five events per term.

Strongest support for the motion came from federation president Tom Patterson and speaker Larry Burko. Patterson, commenting on Flemming’s profit, and answering the argument that such

clubs are providing services said, “By running it himself, he’s not running a service. He’s making money. He has no right to exploit any body. ’ ’ Burko felt one club shouldn’t be able to block others from using the facilities and that one person shouldn’t be allowed to exploit students. “That’s called capitalism.” he stated. Arts rep Larry Caesar felt that Burko was stepping outside his jurisdiction during the meeting. “I challenge the speaker’s passing a lot of opinions, ’ ’ he interiected. Physed Michael Rolt rep asked what would be. done if all the dates were not booked or if some clubs cancelled events that they had booked. Burko, a candidate in next tuesday’s presidential election, answered, “If I am elected, the federation will fill in those events. It will do it at a lower price by eliminating profit. ” The motion carried unanimously. The only other motion passed during the meeting officially made Alex Smith editor of the Chevron. Smith was the only applicant for the position and his appointment had been ratified by the staff.

directed towards the introduction to the white paper. l removal of legal and constitutional basis of discrimination l recognition of indian culture as a part of Canadian society; l indians coming under the same service agencies as whites ; l helping those furthest behind l recognizing all lawful obligations to indians l indian control of indian lands. Zaslow explained these points in rhetorical detail, but did not describe how they were to be implemented. One member of the audience explained why the method of implementation was crucial. “Take for example the idea that all lawful obligations to indians be recognized. It sounds great. However, the government is appointing ,a commissioner to decide which claims are legitimate or lawful. The government has already stated it views the treaties as obsolete. Thus, many indian claims for reparation, based on promises contained in the treaties, will be illegitimate -and will not be considered.” In criticizing Cardinal’s book, Zaslow repeatedly used terms unfair, such as exaggerated, ridiculous and extremist. He expressed agreement with a few points in the book and

gave as an example the statement : “Indians should be helped to reach their full economic potential”. However, he interpreted this point as full economic “assimilation”. One person pointed out “this is not what Cardinal meant. ” During the question period it was suggested Zaslow’s attitude represented one of the main reasons why indians are so disatisifed with ‘white policy’. Zaslow was asked how he would feel if he were an indian and had been continually cheated and robbed by white society. He said that he wasn’t an indian. He was questioned on his assumption that the Indian could be assimilated economically, politically and legally, and still maintain an independent and unique culture. His answer to this question evoked the comment, “so you believe in weekend indians” from the audience.’ The audience was not at all receptive to the ideas which Zaslow put forward. No questions were asked, or were needed, to clarify his point of view. There was no applause when the lecture ended. All the questions were directed at bringing out contradictions in his views. Several people from the audience expressed their disgust that__Sgmeone like Zaslow should be brought in as a distinguished lecturer merely because he has a PhD.

Tuesday’s inaugural pollution probe meeting brought many assorted members of the university community out into the open. A vested self interest was evident in most present.

The Waterloo chapter of pollution probe met on tuesday nite to discuss organizational problems and future programs. A report dealing with the organization of Toronto’s pollution probe was presented. The Toronto group, being the first group formed, is larger in size and with the aid of donations is capable of sustaining four fulltime co-ordinators working for $250 a month. The basic work is public education, though they also attempt to pressure business and government into acting against polluting. Since a full-time co-ordinator is not presently financially possible, it was decided that a concerted effort by all members to donate as much time as possible would be needed. Space in the science society office for a desk with privilege of using the phone (ext. 3459) has been friday

donated by the science society. The main purpose of the group was described as organizing and educating the people of the K-W area.

QUALITY SHOOTING SUPPLIES

talks begin

An FM licence for Radio Waterloo has not been totally forgotten. Negotiations and discussions with the administration regarding financing of the proposed FM radio station have recently begun. Financing is the major problem facing such an outlet. It is estimated at this time that about $23,000 would be required to put the station on air, with another $50,000 annually devoted to operating costs. Although sizeable, the cost compares favourably with the $135,000 annual budget of CJRT-!?M, Ryerson. As proposed the FM outlet would be totally non-commercial in compliance with the rules and regulations of the Canadian radio and television commission regarding educational broadcasting outlets, and thus the burden of financing would fall upon - such organizations as the university, the Federation of Students and any other interested or involved parties. At this time, Radio Waterloo operates 7 days a week, 14 hours daily throughout the year on a closed circuit basis. Its operation is financed by the

federation with facilities supplied by the administration. The period of closed circuit broadcasting has allowed Radio Waterloo to begin the development and programming of format provided content and has time for training of personnel in the and experimentation medium. As well, it has allowed the station to delve into an increasing amount of feature presentations and live productions. The time span, until the licence is granted is still vague. Once a formula for financing ‘has been established, application must be made to the Canadian radio and television commission, the ’ licencing body controlling canadian broadcasting. Review of an application by that body might be done within six months after the application is received. However it could take a year until a group such as Radio Waterloo is admitted to a public hearing of the CRTC. If the licence is granted at the first public hearing, the new station would be allowed to go to air after a minimum of three months.

Lack of support kills atlanfk

federation

CHARLQTTETOWN (CUP)The third attempt at a regional student union among maritime universities-the federation of Atlantic Student Councils-ended here sunday. The executive of the FASC decided to disband the organization in ’ a weekend meeting after student councils at four campuses turned down membership in the regional federation. “We just couldn’t keep going if we didn’t get support from the student councils, ” said FASC president Dennis Mackay. “If we were going to carry out the programs outlined at the Fredericton conference, then we had to have the money.” The councils ’ at Memorial University, Dalhousie Univerthe University of New sity, Brunswick and St. Thomas University withdrew their support of the federation following a week-long directional conference in Frederiction over the Christmas holidays. They cited dissatisfaction at the priorities system for field workers established at the conference in which campus would receive help based on their stu-

dent population and the degree of organizational development already in existence. But experience with two other attempts in the last four years to establish regional student associations was also a factor. The UNB councillors said it would be inadvisable to put out UNB’S $600 membership fees while “the feasibility of FASC and its success were remote.” Mackay said it was personally disappointing that the federation didn’t get a chance to implement its programs. “I think we had a program and a method of implementation that could have worked,” he said. Other executive members felt the same, and spent most of the weekendtrying to work out ways to keep -the organization going. In the end, they decided to keep FASC field workers employed until the end of january, working at the Nova Scotia Agricultural College and St. Anne’s College. Money remaining in FASC accounts at the beginning of february will be returned to fee-paying member campuses.

Police clear 300 stucfeds from P EI government building CHARLOTTETOWN (CUP) Prince Edward Island education minister Gordon Bennett brandished the threat of police action over the heads of 300 university students tuesday, them to discontinue a sit-in provoked by fee increases and substandard education at the University of Prince Edward Island. After a march through downtown Charlottetown, the students filled the corridors of two floors of the provincial government’s administration building for two hours, also occupying Bennett’s office and the outer chambers of PEI premier Alex Campbell. The students were demanding higher operating grants for UPEI, guarantees that students would not be forced to pay for further increases in university expenses through tuition fee raises, and the institution of a grant scheme for student aid in the province. The students also asked that premier Campbell live up to promises made in a government white paper issued in april 68, in which Campbell said the province “would have a university comparable to national standards.” An advance group which occupied education minister Bennett’s office were given no responses to their demands for government action. After two hours of discussion, Bennett called in eight members of the RCMP and local police

forces, and told students they would be liable to charges of obstruction of justice if they did not leave. Eventually the students filed out of the building, after convincing a small number not to face arrest by staying. Tuesday’s protest climaxed two weeks of unrest at the oneyear-old UPEI campus, which ‘began january 15 when students discovered via a local television program that their board of governors had secretly approved a $100 tuition fee increase and a $100 residence fee increase for next year. The board decision was made October 27, 69: both administration president R.J. Baker and a single student union representative on the board justified their silence by saying “the students would find out about it anyway. ” The increase would raise tuition to $550 per student, and residence fees to $775 per student. A poll conducted by the UPEI student council revealed that 68 per cent of those interviewed would find it “very difficult” to return to university if the increases were implemented. One-quarter of the campus was sampled in the poll. The average summer earnings of students polled by the council w!ere $718. Currently, students at UPEI are eligible for up to $1,000

status for Quebec will break the country This is the opinion of Eugene Forsey, an expert on the Canadian constitution, who lectured on “A special status for Quebec?” Wednesday night in the theatre of the arts. The talk was sponsored by the poli-sci union and attracted about 150 people. Forsey began his speech by relating an anecdote about brief introductions, then spent the next fifteen minutes telling his audience what his lecture was not going to be about. This included the nominal “special status” provisions already existing in the British north america act and several section numbers in the act which he quoted without saying what is contained in the sections. He sent on to describe “special status” as a massive transfer of power from the Ottawa government to the Quebec legislature with Quebec retaining full representation in the parliament and government of Canada. Specifically he referred to such aspects as a wider role for Quebec in international affairs, greater jurisdiction over banking, social security and education, health and welfare, and marriage and divorce. He pointed out that the provinces already have considerable say in such matters, and that problems could arise with a clash between equally powerful forces in the province. He did not say what such a clash might be. The difficulties with such a position would be in two!

VANCOUVER (CUP) - The second bomb in two weeks exploded in a University of British Columbia building friday night. in student The explosion, council chambers in Brock Hall, blew out a heat register causing $400 damage. Brock Hall is now used as a study area with a few rooms available for seminars. A few in the building, people were but no one was injured.

Damage was estimated at $1,600. Both bombings are under in-

Students had originally proposed that the system should be supplemented by the institution of a 200 grant after the first $200 in loans. A government counter-proposal would “match” student loans over a minimum of $600 with equivalent grants : the scheme would allow students a maximum grant of $400 on financial assistance totalling $1,400. Students oppose the scheme as they would have to go $1,000 into debt to get a 400 grant. .I Monday, 250 students watched as the UPEI board refused to rescind the fee increases. According rL to administration president Baker, the board could not go directly to the provincial government without “usurping the authority” of the PEI government ‘s post-secondary education commission. The three-man commission, set up as a buffer between UPEI and the provincial government,” will not meet again until april 8, long after the provincial treasury board has completed estimates and proposals for university revenue and expenditure for the next year. At a meeting january 19 between Bennett, Campbell and 400 university students, the provincial premier said the government was not “in a financial position or a bureaucratic position” to guarantee the implementation of a grant system for students in the province. But Camp bell added, he was “optimistic” that the system might be in effect fcr the 70-71 academic year. The University of PrinceEdward Island is an amalgamation of St. Dunstan’s University and Prince of Wales College, which the government created to raise educational standards in the province. In the government white paper which announced the creation of the new university, Campbell promised the institution 18 million dollars in student aid and 69 million dollars for operating costs during a ten-year period ending in 1978. So far, neither program has been implemented.

that the Canadian government would be in a “dual, ambivalent, ambiguous position - the government would act for nine provinces some of the time, and for ten at others. Quebec MPs and senators would be right there with a full right to vote and decide on domestic affairs, while the other provinces might find themselves being influenced by a government in which they had noconfidence. _ ’ If Quebec restrained. from voting on matters unrelated to itself, it could, result in a situation in which the prime minister and 10 cabinet ministers would withdraw. Forsey felt this type of “special status” would mean that Quebec says to the rest of Canada “You stay out of our affairs and we will stay in yours.” For the Quebec people it-has “all the advantages of separation without the disadvantages, whereas all the disadvantages of separation without the advantages” would be featured for the rest of Canada. The arrangement is an “attempt to provide for dry water, hot ice and stationary motion. With a massive enough transfer of power, there would be a complete change in confederation. I don’t see how it could work - it would be a half-way house on the way to complete separation. ” He felt that this would be a tragedy for the rest of Canada, although “we could survive. Special status for Quebec could only result in breaking the country in two.” friday

Now a second St. John’s has been established in Edmonton, and others will be opened across Canada to meet continent-wide applications for admission. To do this we need men of immense vision and courage. They should have at least one year of university, and be prepared to complete their degrees under ComWnY direction; they should be prepared to work up to 80 hours a week, sometimes more, for a salary of $1 a day plus food, clothing, shelter and necessities for themselves and their families; they should like people, be able to think logically, use the English language effectively, laugh easily. They need not be Anglicans, but should be prepared to examine the Christian faith’ and reach honest conclusions.

Have you ever wondered why the wage demands of labor unions make headline news in the commercial, press, while the profits of business and industry are published in small print on the back pages? The kind of coverage various labor-management stories get might have something to do with the fact that the major papers themselves are big business syndicates, namely Sifton-Bell, Thompson, and Southam. For example, lost among the copy on page 2 of Southam’s K-W Record is a story concerning the dispute between the United Electrical, Radio and Machine Workers Union and Marsland Engineering Co. Ltd. (Waterloo’s largest industrial employer). Central to the dispute is a contract proposal which the company had submitted to the union for ratification.

therefore according to bstablished practice, the union was obliged to accept the proposal. However at this point company president Lawrence Marsland, decided to retract his offer. Such action by Marsland, according to union spokesman George Stevens, is contrary to the traditional practice of labor-management negotiations; so the union has appealed to the Ontario Labour Relations Board to settle the dispute. The ruling in this case would be extremely important to labour, not merely in local terms, but in provincial terms as well. For example, if the decision favoured management, it would break a traditional protection agonizingly won by labour and by this precedent labour would virtually be at the mercy of management in the future. To illustrate what this important dispute means to the editor of the K-W Record, turn to the editorial which reads One Per Cent Can Matter.

The vote was called for after a petition carrying 591 signatures was presented to the student council monday night. Only 500 signatures are needed under the AMS constitution to make a referendum necessary. The referendum will ask students to vote “yes” or “no” on the question : “are you in favour of the membership in and paying of fees to the Alma Mater Society being made voluntary? ” In order to pass, the referendum will need a “yes” vote by a two-thirds majority and a minimum turnout of 20 per

LIS leader Raymond Lemieux told reporters tuesday he didn’t expect the university would succumb immediately to pressures to become a french institution-as at McGill, he said, it would be an “episode in a

Bishop’s University administration principal A. W.

NDY culls for socialism WINNIPEG (CUP)-A manifesto calling for nationalization of all major means of natural resources, production, industries and financial institutions was adopted by 70 high school and university students at a Manitoba Young New Democrats convention here last weekend. Describing Canadians as “neocolonialist victims of american monopoly capitalism,” the manifesto argues that Manitoba NDP premier Ed Schreyer’s brand of social democracy is the wrong approach to capitalism.

But what the press ignores is that industry and business set those prices, and when our newspapers support industry and business the latter will set their prices as high as they can. Let’s not forget what else was left out of the article-that profits are at an all time high. INCO made a profit of 148 million dollars after taxes last year and was supported by John Robarts last november when the price of nickel was raised by 25 cents a pound. Robarts said he wasn’t going to chip away at the profit motive. However, the profits are not going to the workers. According to recently published figures of the Labour Congress, the worker actually lost ground in his attempts to wrest profits from the companies in 1969.

The UBC vote will be the fourth on voluntary unionism at a Canadian university in this academic year. Similar referenda were defeated at the University of Calgary (October 27) and at Memorial University (October 29-30). Students at the University of Guelph voted november 13 to retain a voluntary union. The Guelph vote was followed by an administration announcement that the university would no longer collect union fees if less than 50 per cent of registering students in january opted not to join.

If Waterloo intends to finish first in O.Q.A.A. hockey this year it is essential that they win both of their games this weekend. Last night the warriors tangled with the Western mustangs in London (always a tough game) and tonight they host the Windsor lancers. It has been three long weeks since the warriors have been at home and during that time they have played six road games. Not including last nights encounter, they have managed to play only .500 hockey, not nearly good enough for a championship contender. Trevelling long distances and often playing before small crowds in large arenas, the team seems to have great dif-

The warriors, however, should have won it last time and top scorer Jaan Laaniste got only 15. In light of their win on Windsor’s court last week, the nod, in all fairness, goes to the warriors by 4.

Western Two hundred tickets for satbasketball urday afternoon’s game at Western’s Alumni Hall have arrived at Waterloo for sale to warrior fans despite the rumours of the nastines of John Metras. The tickets are being handled by the phys ed office and cost one dollar each. The game is at ‘2 pm Saturday. This game with Western should prove an interesting one. When the mustangs played here they won by two points in overtime. Late in that game they used a sluff-off defense with their three big men (Larose, Brown and Weaver or Morton) playing tight to the basket. The warriors made the mistake in that game of trying to drive for lay-ups. It would not be surprising to see Western use the same defense for at least part of the Saturday game. This would provide the for many short opportunity jump shots by the ballhandler Kieswetter or Laaniste.

Brown got 17 points and an astronomical 19 rebounds last game. A win against Western would put the warriors in sole possession of second place, one game out of first. A loss will drop them back into the mire which would then be the runner-up spot. Gametime at Western on saturday is 2 pm.

The basketball Athenas managed an easy 46-31 home court win over York Tuesday night to remain at the top of the O.Q.W.C.I.A. league. Waterloo utilized a zone press that worked off and on in the first two quarters to build up a solid 26-14 half time lead. York posed no threat throughout the remainder of the game and Waterloo was credited with a 46-31 win. If we just -mention the score, the Athenas appear to be back in their winning ways. However, despite the 15 point win, the Waterloo girls averaged less than 25% from the floor and only 40% from the free throw line.

from Rick Hankinson. “Just to keep up the Chevron’s reputation of reporting newsworthy events to the masses on campus, I thought the 9,900 of you that missed last thursday’s scrimmage with Niagara would like to hear what happened. To begin with, the Niagara freshmen, better known as the “purple fledglings” are established as one of the top freshmen teams in America. Weeks of negotiations between Niagara coaches and varsity Jcoach Mike Lavelle finally resulted in the previously mentioned scrimmage. To say the warriors put up a respectable show would be an understatement, as even the Niagara team’s worst dreams don’t see them down eight points to a “Canadian” team. The fact that Niagara eventually outscored us, bears little effect on the warriors outstanding performance. As has been apparent all season, the style of play that suits the warriors is a fast moving offence coupled with a tenacious defence, and tenacious was the word of the day under the boards.

We now have a real team, a team that can spot the canadian champions 11 points in their own gym and go on to win. Top quality basketball is here for good and top quality teams such as Otterbein, Niagara, and Fredonia will provide an excellent chance for us to play the kind of basketball that made it the world’s greatest spectator sport.

this win over York. The Athenas were just a little bit better at poor shooting and sloppy ball handling than York and were content with just a comfortable lead. Even the players on the court seemed to sit back and watch the game go on. Credit for the highlight of the game must go to York. With two minutes remaining in the game, the York girls ran circles around the Athenas and scored eight unanswered points. This spark in the otherwise dull game was led by York’s Eva Hill who was leading scorer with 15 points. The Athenas are home for three games next week as they host Guelph on Monday, Ryerson on Tuesday and Laurentian on Friday.

FILM

Problems

between

John & Mary is not a simple love story. Rather, it is an intriguing and masterful study of ‘the day after the night before’ relationship between a man and a woman, detailing not only their overt actions, but also their internal thoughts and fantasies. John (Dustin Hoffman), while out on a bachelor pub with his friend Stanley, meets Mary (Mia Farrow) and finds himself between the sheets with her the following morning. Hoffman, of ‘The Graduate’ and ‘Midnight Cowboy’ fame, does an excellent job of portraying the young man’s ambivalent feeling’s toward a woman he has just met and slept with. Throughout the film he struggles between the feeling of wanting her to go and asking her to stay. The really good aspect of Hoffman’s performance is his ability as a situation humorist, as exemplified most vividly in a scene in which he is trying to locate Mary, knowing only that she lives in Murrayhill,and asks a policeman: “Officer I’m looking for a street with trees.” Miss Farrow does an equally good job as a girl FACULTY

who “sometimes says NO”, although her humor level never reaches that of Hoffman. ‘ Perhaps the most interesting aspect of the film are the film methods used. The first method is one in which actual conversation is interspersed with internal thoughts and both are presented to the audience; creating, in many instances, very humorous situations. Originated by Andy Warhol, the second method has been labelled “disjointed time”, and is one in which scenes are presented out of chronological sequence. This enables the focus of the audience’s attention to be directed towards the immediate time of the story and to allow flashbacks and forward flashes to fill in the gaps in the plot. Complicated by previous affairs, the relationship grows before the audience on the screen, and it is not until the very end of the film that one realizes that an identification has been made with the characters without even knowing their names. For anybody interested in the study of interpersonal relationships the film is well worth seeing. CREAM

“M-y husband is on the Board of Governors”

by Ross Bell Chevron staff

Joe Hall is a soft-spqken young man with some definite opinions on the current music scene. The 22-year-old folksinger appeared at Kitchener Tunnel Inn coffee-house last weekend. Born in Dusseldorf, Germany, raised in London, Ontario, he lived in Kitchener for 12 months before moving to Toronto last year. He recently cut an album for CHUM which is to be released soon. Hall has few kind words for the men who run the record industry. “The producer is in control all the way; the musician is just a tool for him to make money. When I cut my record, the producer said one song was too long and I had to cut a verse because he said so. ” He stated that this type of thing can destroy the effect of a song, but the producer’s word is nractically law in such cases. Hall had to change the words of one song, so he ended up changing the melody and writing about how he had to rewrite the words. Joe writes a great deal of his own material but only four of his own works are on the new album. The rest were determined by the producer. This can be somewhat frustrating for a man who says he “doesn’t care enough about music to do other peoples songs. You’ve got to have respect for yourself. ” About the only way to get

His songs, he says, “are about the way I cope with my existence. I’m selfish. I can’t become involved with politics.” Radio stations are another topic for which he has some definite feelings. “Radio tyranizes. It really screws up musical taste. The underground FM stations are little better. They play a lot of bad music,” but people listen because it’s like a cult. You listen because it’s the thing to do.? He himself doesn’t listen to the radio or records too much and when he does (in a car, for example) it’s “for the rhythm, not the music.” Hall does not get too many jobs these days because he doesn’t have a manager, which a performer needs if he’s to get work. “I used to have a manager, but he lied to me.” When he says it, it’s obvious that such things are important to him. He sees brighter days ahead for Canadian artists’ especially since parliament is considering Canadian content legislation for radio. As well, since CHUM controls several stations in Canada it is obviously going to promote the records it produces on them. About his own album, Joe Hall hopes that it will make enough money, “so that I can with-, draw from the world.”

So you think you’ll. drop out of engineering cause you wanna do something relevant-something that pertains to people. You probably think you want _ to see how people are conditioned, how they interest and transcend themselves, don’t you? Well, if that’s the case-go out and get a job. But if you’re as lazy as I am and you want to impress people with grandiose labels, then psychology is the right niche for a would-be, erudite bore. Let’s begin with your future surroundings, for Penner has some suitable slurs to sling. The psych building-this temple of empty behavioralism, oft referred to as ‘rat city’ has an aroma not unlike that of a thousand neurotic rats defecating in a corner. As a matter of honesty that’s not what its likethat’s what it is. Alas, it would seem there are some setbacks to psychology. After all those rats didn’t become ’ neurotic without a reason. And after four years of experiments like ‘the scrutiny of eyelid flutters in blind ants’ most upperclassmen are prime prospects for their half-brothers, the Faithful Followers of Freud.. Some would say the psych boys work with these lads, but take it from me, it just ain’t so. Hold on, you say there are some psychologists who actually deal with human beings. After all, have we not come up with some magnificent advances like T-groups and sensitivity trainingmusts for anyone planning a career in radicalism. One of the undergraduate classes which deals with these nauseating activities is put on, pardon me, takes piace in the arts theatre. Last year one prof looked on as a person broke down in front of 123 classmates. This year, if the show is still .on, he’ll certainly try for bigger and better things. This performance can be put on with a maximum of theatrics and the possibilities are limitless. Penner applauds this fine work-Evangelism is back. Well, even if psych is as useful as the Geneva Accords, at ieast it’s concerned-concerned about money, tenure, politics, etc. Speaking of politics, perhaps that’s the type of discipline you’re interested in. Four years of political science expands one’s mind more than the

most awesome hallucinogenic experience. Each, act, rather year, presents a panorama which unfolds like a kiddy’s first visit to a three ring circus. Prerequisites for this discipline include wide knowledge of the various distinctions between one’s right and one’s left whatever, and the ability to publicly proclaim these insights in a manner befitting an upperclassman at West Point. Throughout the following years successful candidates learn that between the left and the right falls the centre, where all men of high origin and even college professors cast their lot. You are further taught that once upon a time, when there were kings and such stuff, there existed an evil thing known as class structure, but you are relieved to learn that this has been dying since the New Deal, and to all intents and purposes no longer exists. You also learn that pluralism is greek for democracy. Each year the program intensifies in depth and scope. You are invited to partake of the intricacies of Canadian Government, where you discover that it is neither Canadian, nor a government. You learn that the governor-general is a front for the queen, Yq,ho is in turn a front for a Conservative club in Britain, with vested interests in maintaining the colonies. Political science differs from other departments in that some of the best ‘educating’ goes on outside the classroom. Here one comprehends the integration of theory and practice, while watching real politics in action : Listen-as a local MP tells you how small business interests plus electoral support equals socialism; Watch-the failure of diplomacy when practiced by the non-diplomatic ; Witness-the use of the tenure as a device in the sacking of upstarts ; Gasp-as the department chairman is purged right under the nose of the dean. Yes friends, all this and (ol’penner will bet you a penny to a right wing putsch) more. So sign up today: its a great time for all concerned, costs no more than any other program and is guaranteed to take the mystery out of life while putting money in your pockets.

Yet awareness of this fact is not much use until we act to overcome our rigidity or fear, and begin interacting in a self-fulfilling way. When this happens, it is impossible for us to keep ourselves a secret. And this is good, for it means willingness to share human thoughts and emotions fully. I Sharing is what the rap room is- all about. There are no hard-line professionals who cram people into categories of neurosis...there are no wild-eyed psychology students on pins and needles to play Freud.... instead, there are people-people to talk to, people to listen; people to understand. People to be with while problems (from girlfriends to drugs) are sorted out.

People, however, who can and will-if an to counindividual wishes it- make referrals selling services or other organizations for further aid. We are all secrets worth sharing. , The rap room is staffed by volunteer counsellors from many courses, including history, sociology, english, psychology, chemistry, mathematics and engineering, who occasionally meet’with counselling services representatives to discuss and evaluate their effectiveness and warmth when dealing with people. The rap room is a project jointly financed by counselling services and the campus center board and is intended as an absolutely free discussion and referral service to all persons on campus.

thief scarf?

Now that the shock of my great loss has worn off, I would like to recount to you an incident that occurred to me at your januniversity on Wednesday, uary 14. I am a first year student at Western, and I came with a group of our students to watch the basketball game on your campus. At the end of the game, as I stood to put my coat back on, my large purple and white scarf, knitted by my mother, fell behind the stands. I immediately ran down behind to retrieve it but lo, in the halfminute it took me to descend, a souvenir-hungry student had absconded with it. Since our represenation _of Western fans was quite small and centralized, I am forced to place the guilt of thievery on one of Waterloo’s ‘students. As well as suffering on the frigid days out here from the loss of my scarf, I am even more upset at the work and love that my mother might have wasted. It will surely break her heart if I have to tell her of my scarf’s demise. In my darkest moments, I envision my scarf ripped to shreds and hanging on the bulletin boards of 200 evil-minded Waterlooians. Yet hope for the redemption of mankind and the return of my scarf springs eternal within my breast. As editor of the university paper, you have the power to communicate with a vast majority of the Waterloo students. Most probably, one of these students has my scarf.

Math grad upset by editorial on democracy

Last friday’s chevron editorial “Democracy” begins by lamenting the lack of democracy in university governing in university procedures on this campus, since students have little or no power. It then goes on to say what would happen if we did have power: “Examinations would be abolished. Course content and presentation would be altered so that it would be more oriented towards the student. There would be an end to tenure,” etc. At last we have been enlightened as to what true democracy really is: an editorial writer making our decisions for us! My goodness true democracy been too busy paper to realize

The Chevron never ceases to amaze one. It seems to have become the mouth-piece for that esoteric cult of psychedelic euphoria engulfed by a facade of socialism. I use the word ‘facade’ advisedly in that this cult too has become part of that decadent society of passive consumption that it feebly tries to get away from. Coming to a specific article concerning last week’s international night-sarcastic and destructive screams of ~ ‘amateurism’ came from an ignoramus reporter. Yet, the ISA had no pretensions, they gave a showing of entertainment from students of the university. Since coming to Waterloo, I have, not encountered such enthusiasm and effort that went into a production. Participation is the key to the vitality of any university and is surely more satisfying than seeing the canned entertainment that occurs only to frequent@? . I Might I suggest that the Chevron read the slogans it’s too ready to put out and realize that socialism is an attitude of mind which involves constructive unselfish participation in the community. These are the sort of activities that should be sponsored rather than destroyed by cynicism. MICK BUTLER grad them

Federation of Students

issues, union

The community issue was beautiful. It was entertaining, interesting, informative and needed. But did it really speak to the people it claimed to? It didn’t reach me as a clockpuncher in one of our local pollution-creators. It didn’t reach my fellow workers in the way I thought it was supposed to. There was no one standing outside the plant at the sl$ft change handing out copies. ’ ,-‘:” I happened to read it as part of a house Chevron brought home from uniwat by housemates. I agree that the university could and should better serve the community-the working people-the people who actually foot the bill, as was SO well brought out in the community issue. But I think one would be poorly advised to hold one’s breath waiting for the great faculty-administration-managementindustrial complex to &gin such a service. It obvitisly must be initiated by the students. The - student-worker solidarity idea is a good and useful one, but that’s all it is-an idea, existing mainly in the .heads of people on the student side of the hyphenation. Not that the workers can’t dig it, but you can’t dig something you don’t know about. Sure, there were students giving moral support and doing picket duty during the postal thing and the Peterborough thing, but who really knows very much about it aside from the participants and the Chevron readers. Less bitching and more constructive suggestions you say? OK: I’d like to see more community issues when the budget can stand it. I’d like wider distribution and circulation of regular Chevrons ; especially

through organized labourthrough unions-like stacks of copies in union halls, labour centres, etc. Granted, all the jock news and most of the purely university news would be irrelevant for a lot of people, but many of the heavy issues under consideration in the Chevron have meaning for more people than students. Useable lines of communication would be set up; useful contributions in the form of letters and articles would begin to feed back; a working dialogue would start happening. Workers, union people, the masses, or whatever, would start being tuned into some of the things happening at the university. Example? O.K., the film “Salt of the Earth” was in the campus centre. It was seen mainly by the regular assortment of campus centre, vegetables and a handful of armchair radicals. Talk about a waste of resources. “Solidarity Forever! ” lets dig the *words, not just hum the melody . JIM HUNTER Waterloo fngineer proverbial

airs his battle

views on of sexes

Under the coeducational system, the somewhat naive, single male is subject to the subtle and deadly attack of the husband-hunting variety of female. It is during the latter portion of his formal education that the young male is most susceptible to personal defeat in the battle of the sexes. These marriage-happy females are armed with the latest scientific equipment (lipstick, eye make-up, permanents, foundation garments, and nylons) plus the latest styles and the accumulated techniques of the centuries to augment their natural earlier development to maturity. The effects on a male student of an encounter with the enemy a general absent-mindedness, inefficiency and clumbsiness. This is followed by a loss of interest in his normal pastimes, a drop in marks at school, deteriorating health from late hours and low financial reserves. He becomes able to concentrate on only one thing, his personal opponent. The ultimate effect of such an attack is a temporary madness in which the male marries his adversary and is, inevitably forced to terminate his school career. RUSSEL T. LOKER elec eng. What with

CULTURE was producting its own potential grave diggers. As co-optation and consumerization escalated, so did the social realities-Vietnam, black revolt. Consequently so did the political activism of the young. Underground newspapers which had begun on an almost total drug trip (EVO, Oracle, etc. ) were not only springing up all over the place but were also involved in a much more serious kind of politics. Along with them, anti-war organizing, demonstrating and draft resistance grew. The blacks were getting their shit together and were being supported by white youth. More frequent and more critical attacks, both theoretical and practical, were being directed toward educational institutions-college and high school. And, more generally, a new life style was coming into being-one that was antithetical to the bourgeois massified life style. This life style manifested itself in many ways: in dressa looser clothing style nowhere as restrictive as the old, in appearance-long hair, beards, no make-up, and more importantly in behavior-new, more human, social relations really became the basis for praxis. Much of this “feeling for the other”, however, lacked a good social analysis and consequently emerged in abstractions-“love” and “flower power”. This ideology reached its apex in San Francisco during the ‘Summer of love” in the haight-ashbury community. The lack of good analysis made for a community filled with contradictions. On the one hand, there was the liberating life style. People were trying to live a kind of utopian socialism-communal sharing, lack of private property-based on the new, more human social relations. There was also a refusal to perform alienated labor (keep in mind that these young people were rejecting the positions offered them in the “middle class”). People were dropping out of “straight” society. In this sense, the “new sensibility” was emerging. But on the other hand, there were a lot of problems with the scene. One was the view that all one had to do was get his head together and all the problems would be solved. To an extent introspection, self-analysis, etc. were all necessary as a means to a more pervasive social end. But for many the means were the end. This resulted in the heavy use of drugs (again, not the right drugs used intelligently as a means to greater social awareness, but only drugs used as an end in themselves) in the attempt to have instant freedom. Nicolaus makes the point that drugs also served (and still do serve) as a means for the promotion of internal group solidarity. I would agree in the cases of pot and perhaps acid, but many of the haight people graduated very readily to harder drugs such as heroin and “speed”. Dealers introjected the capitalist mentality buying low and selling high, making plenty of money off their “brothers. ” In practice drugs and the drug ideology also served as an excellent means of controlling potential dissidents ‘(as they have done in the ghetto). In a certain sense the users also introjected the bourgeois mentality by attempting to solve their social problems through drugs. Their parents fought alienation, oppression, and frustrations with alcohol, tranquilizers and sleeping pills. They did it with LSD, “speed” and heroin. OURGEOIS

Love and haight These contradictions within the love movement were , indicative of at least a bad if not a false analysis of society. Although most of those involved held that the society in one way or another was badly in need of change, the connections to capitalism were usually not made, thereby resulting in a false positive-love. It was assumed that exemplary gentle love-like behavior could change material conditions. As if throwing flowers at Rockefeller would automatically cause him to give up his oil interest to the people of Latin America. This was brotherhood in the abstract since it failed to take into account the historical conditions which could

have served as the practical guide for the direction of these newly developing social relations. The decline of the haight and the growth of the new left has, in practice, educated masses of young people to this fact. Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention, while themselves more cynical and nihilistic than consciously radical, did provide in song a critique of this notion of love in the abstract and the whole haight ideology on We’re only in it for the money: “psychedelic dungeons cropping up on’ every street...1 will love everyone. I will love the police as they kick the shit out of me on the street.”

In addition, there was no doubt that the bourgeoisie loved love and flower power since they were very easily turned into a product. Flowers and love became stylesin dress, art, etc. Auto makers put out a car with flowers on it right from the factory. The plastic hippie was created-from $38 sandals to the $15 leather headband. Having done their job for the Indian upper classes, maharishis and swamis were brought in to sell inner peace for $5 per meditation. The haight and east village were turned inside out and instead of becoming real peoples’ communities, they became hip tourist attractions where the “hip boutiques” could fleece hippies and tourists alike. Some communal activities did meet with success-primarily the underground newspapers, communications collectives, digger free stores for food and clothing, etc, but on the whole, most were short-lived. This is not to say that everyone was immediately co-opt ed. On the contrary, many of those who were among the original community organizers were able to see through this and fought against it. The co-optation was aimed at the new people who hadn’t at that time achieved the level of consciousness that the others had. In total opposition to this bourgeois destruction of the scene, the most socially conscious of the hippies did a beautiful thing: they declared “The death of the hip” and marched through the haight with a coffin into which were thrown bells, flowers, etc. A new level of social consciousness was beginning to emerge. For many this meant the beginning of radical politics-that is the understanding that social change does not come out of the stem of a flower. For others, it meant a renewed cynicism and a desire to start anew. These people felt the big city environment had caused the failure so they split to start communes in the country.

The present

scene

There is no doubt that the present level of social awareness among youth is far above that of the 50’sThe Rowntrees make a comparison between the communal aspect of the present culture and the Beat Scene of the 50’s : “The communities also offer laboratories for the development of communal, life-affirming forms of living, eating and sharing and participating in public activities. Contrast the bouyancy of contemporary youth culture with the nihilism, individualism and withdrawal of the 1950’s. Of course this culture is still engaged in a struggle-a struggle against consumerization, co-optation and neoromantic ideology. It has been through this struggle that greater social consciousness has emerged. This emerging consciousness is presently manifesting itself in many ways. There is first of all the ever-growing radical community-a community composed of people who are transforming themselves through their social practice and at the same time attempting to transform the society at large. The students/hippies have been able to ally themselves with other members of the new left-workers, blacks, army organizers, etc.-through both their respective culture and political practices. This growing consciousness is also reflected more precisely in the present music, much of which relates directly to the social practice of both the artist and the audience. To cite a few examples-Gordon Lightfoot’s ‘*Black day in july, ” Bob Seeger’s “2 plus 2 is on my mind,” the Earth Opera’s ‘American eagle tragedy, I’ Credence Clearwater’s” “Bad moon

and Bobby Darin’s ( ! ) ‘Simple song of freedom’ sung by Tim Hardin; Listening to almost any black radio station will indicate that black music has also taken on a new relevance. Most of the above music has been heard on Top 40 radio. The “underground music” only heard on LP’s and some FM stations goes beyond this to overt political and social critiques. This distinction between top 40 and underground, or “schlock rock” vs. “good rock” is understood by most members of the youth culture. As emphasized earlier, they are demanding more from the artist. The Beatles and the Stones are interesting cases in point. They both have evolved dialectically against and with the cultural and political movements. From a heavy dependence on 50’s rock, they moved to greater social content, to drugs and finally to the statement of a quasipolitical ideology (the forms of the music also requiring drastic changes along the way). For the Beatles this ideology is Give peace a chance” through non-violence and love. For the Stones it’s ‘Street fighting man. ‘I The album “Beggar’s banquet” is a fine musical statement of contemporary politics. A song like “Factory girl” indicates not only a tremendous development in both form and content as compared to the lack of political content in the 50’s, but also a tremendous development in the Stones’ own artistic history (e.g., “Stuprising, I,

id girl, ” e tc . )

Artist

and culture

This type of development, as I have maintained, is due in great part to the dialectical relationship between the artist and the cultural/political milieu. To paraphrase Hegel, the artist comprehends his times in thought. Thus, it is no surprise that much of today’s music is directly relevant to the most intense period of political activism in the last three decades. I believe that some of the contemporary artists most sensitive to the cultural/political climate have been attempting to practice cultural subversion-The Rolling Stones by putting “mass man” back into perspective (in the whole of Beggar’s Banquet especially “Salt of the earth”); the Band by breaking down the abstract categories associated with “mass man” such as southerner, northerner, worker, soldier, etc. by singing very sensitively about human beings as real people with real histories (e.g., ‘7he night they drove old dixie down”‘); and finally Dylan, who has extended his hand as a representative of a particular new working class background-the college educated urban youth-to other working class people young and old, and to American roots-country people, Johnny Cash, etc. (as in John Wesley Harding and Nashville Skyline). These thrusts are taking place at a time of intensified social crisis when bourgeois remedies are increasingly failing.

New possibilities. Thus, a two-pronged attack both on and off the job can be made. For example, a new left organizer recently told of his experiences organizing in a predominantly white, “blue collar” working class neighborhood. He found himself stymied and thwarted until he discovered that both he and the people in the community really dug Dylan’s Nashville skyline. The excitement of this common experience provided the catalyst that helped get his organizing project off the ground. The insurgent culture serves as a good way of bringing together disparate social forces-youth, different sectors within the new working class, lumpen people, blacks, etc. Many of those involved in the culture are already transforming themselves in and through their practice. “The new sensibility has become, by this very token, praxis: it emerges in the struggle against violence and exploitation where this struggle is waged for essentially new ways and forms of life: negation of the entire establishment, its morality, culture; affirmation of the right to build a society in which the abolition of poverty and toil terminates in a universe where the sensuous, the playful, the calm, and the beautiful become forms of existence and thereby the form of the society itself. ” Marcuse is talking about the emergence of the new historical subject who is transforming himself right down to his socially conditioned infrastructure. The new culture thus serves a negative function by smashing the old cultural form which only serves to dominate man. This culture thereby emerges as a new positive force in practice by offering new and liberating cultural forms and ways of being. One of the tasks of the new left should be to practice and spread in our own day-to-day activities this “new sensibility” with the aim of subverting the repressive culture and building a movement’to transform the repressive society at large. I have tried to indicate the very important role that rock culture has played in the historical development of this social consciousness and new sensibility. Woody Guthrie put it this way: “Our songs are singing his tory. ” by Joe Ferrandino, A history

Facultv are workers? J

+

Keeping with the grand tradltion of solidarity with the international working class,, the Chevron staff collective publicly supports the faculty association in their demand for a- twenty percent increase in wages. And yet weecannot help but feel that our friends and fellow workers in the faculty association have sacrificed their ‘own long term interests for a short term gain. James Ford, chairman of the University of Waterloo faculty association was quoted in the Kitchener-Waterloo Record (admittedly a dubious source) as having said: “For too long sedate professors used to get psychic rewards plus a few thousand dollars. These days, with student radicals battering at our doors, we should even ask for battle pay.” Ford’s comment is more revealing than hilarious. For there has been a shift in emphasis away from the teaching end of professorial activity towards the more lucrative research endeavours. In fact, research has now become the centre of the departments. If student radicals are demanding that professors really come to grips with the content of their courses in a more involved and meaningful way than impersonal lectures then the faculty, for a number of reasons, become disturbed and distracted from their real interest-research. However the faculty association finds that the good old reliable red herring of student radicalism can provide yet another excuse for a pay hike demand. The faculty have asked for twen-ty percent. They will in a pinch go as low as fifteen percent, and with their backs against the wall they

will take twelve. The twenty percent is broken down in this manner: 7% goes for the cost of living, 11% to make up the difference between university teachers and other professionals (medical doctors are the only other group named), 2% plus is designated as increased productivity (Since the GNP rose by 2% last year the faculty want their portion). Each chairman of each department has been asked to evaluate his staff members on a ,chart which provides a scale based on 10 units teaching ability, 8 units for research, and 3 units for administrative capabilities. Since no one can adequately evaluate teaching ability on such a chart, promotions will be based upon research. Last. july, interim admin president Howard Petch circulated a notice to all faculty stating that salaries had risen by 33% last year.. At the same time it was suggested the faculty should put more emphasis on teaching. We believe the faculty are entitled to maintain a high standard of living. But there have been insidious .suggestions that the faculty association has been only too willing to play lackey to anyone who has the price. It has been alleged that the faculty association have accepted the role of cop in the classroom and union busters with relation to the CUPE local on campus. It is this type of unionism which has been operative in the United States in teachers strikes, in ghettoes, the construction industry and elsewhere. Perhaps Ford is not really sensationalizing when hsspeaks of battle pay when students batter at the doors. They may need it just to keep the fight even. .

Canada’ drinks

and goes home

Meat on the hoof The Miss Canadian University pageant is an extreme instance of ’ the dehumanization inherent in our society. Playboy, Glamour, and the ads vertising industry perpetuates and contributes to the definition of that mythical creature the ideal woman. She is beautiful with the help of Revlon, Clairol, and Playtex living bras. She must be congenial-always smiling; and ex-’ eels in making small talk no matter what she may really be-feeling. She is defenceless-unable to order fo.od in a restaurant or even I open a *doorfor herself. * This ‘ideal woman’ is not a person, but a commodity to beoffered for sale to the highest male bidder. This is the model constantly held up for women to imitate. They are taught to consider themselves ugly without the plastic beauty available at the local department store. , . L’ They come to the conclusion they are objects with nothing to contribute to society but their biological functions. They learn to see themselves as having an identity only through some relation with a man. * The men too are alienated by this image. The commercial media perpetrates the myth that real sexual and emotional needs can be fulfilled by this ‘ideal woman’.

Something is wrong with the man if any relationship with her falls short of his expectations. From this the ideal man begins to emerge-one who can ‘make it’ with the ideal woman. Janiel Jolley entered the commodity parade being held tonight at -Waterloo Lutheran as .a protest candidate. Despite refusal of the contest, organizers to recognize Jolley ‘s candidacy ,she .will be appearing to point out that candidatest are merely being used as “empty headed, decorative objects, whose prime function is toendorse and consume uselessI products”. That much on the advertising function of unwitting participants in WLU’s annual trade show. Prizes and exhibits abounding- at the carnival consist of furs, cars and other status-filled, but useless products “so graciously donated by local merchants”. This ‘exploitation and the myth that women are merely appendages of the male and passive cogs in a male dominated economicmachine are under fire. The participants in this farceboth the candidates, and the drooling or envying spectators must realize what is happening. No one is judging who is the better human being-( a negligible contest anyway)...what is being decided is who is the best commodity.
