A ‘ ‘misunderstanding’ ’ last Wednesday night resulted in american folk-singer Jerry Jeff Walker’s refusal to perform at the Groundhog weekend Csp au Vin coffee house. Arriving for his scheduled 11 o’clock performance, Walker entered Cap au Vinkheld in the campus center pub-with two guests whom he indicated to the doormen were “with him.” Doorman Paul Dube, not recognizing Walker, asked the two to pay. They did and proceeded after Walker. Seconds later Walker returned to the door with the two and began arguing with Dube. “What’s the matter,” said Walker, “can’t I have guests?” Dube said no.

Peter Wilkinson, also a doorman, told Walker they were the ones running the place. Walker said “Fuck you, I’m right.” Dube returned the remark. Despite Cap au Vin organizer Tom Ashman’s protests that the guests could be admitted without charge, Walker pushed Dube by the chin out of his chair and against the wall. In return, Wilkinson hit Walker. “He was twice Dube’s size,” said Wilkinson, “and I was twice his size, so I figured it was even.” Walker immediately left. “I didn’t cause any trouble,” he claimed, “I just wanted my friends in.” - Emotionally upset, Walker continued “fuck, fuck, fuck,..” ’ When asked if Walker’s contract

Students transfer from loyola over firingsMONTREAL (CUP)-A total of 125 Loyola College students have applied for transfer to McGill University next year, a move believed to reflect students fears over the future of education at LoYola. The applicants amount to approximately 10 percent of McGill’s normal quota of transfer applicants, and it is considered unlikely that the students will be successful in gaining entrance to the larger anglophone institution.

Ottawa

lobbies

line up predictably

AUCC backs ioyola OTTAWA (CUP)-The association of universities and colleges of Canada, a national lobby for university administrators, has taken on the Canadian association of university teachers, national lobby for faculty, in a bureaucratic version of the conlict between professor S A Santhanam and the administration of Loyola college. In a press statement monday the AUCC unsurprisingly plumped for the administration in the Loyola contract dispute which has simmered for more than seven months now, and ticked off CAUT for attempting to use the threat of censure to enforce binding CAUT arbitration to settle the Loyola conflict. The AUCC decision followed a board meeting here january 2930. According to the AUCC, the all-Jesuit administration at Loyola had fulfilled all its obligations to Santhanam when it refused to renew his contract june 19. The AUCC director also said that CAUT was overstepping its bounds in attempting to secure binding arbitration in the case of a dismissed professor who did not have academic tenure at the time of his firing.

“This recommendation raises some very important questions for the future of the Canadian acAUCC dirademic community,” ectors said. Santhanam, a nuclear physicist, was dismissed by Loyola trustees without stated cause. His case has kept the Loyola campus in an uproar since september. The Loyola administration has declared it will seek justification for its actions in Quebec courts february 16. 16. The move came as the administration’s response to a report issued by the CAUT investigation team into the affair, and is seen by observers at Loyola as an attempt to foil CAUT attempts to act as binding arbiter in Santhanam’s case. _ Observers also felt the administration would win the case, which will go to court february 16. Santhanam signed a statement in december, 1967, stating his intention to resign from the Loyola faculty in 1969, but was later given a contract for the 1969-70 year which stated it “superseded all other verbal agreements. ” But the Loyola board of trustees fired him anyway, and has re-

in firing

fused to pay his salary for this year. The CAUT report, product of an investigation which began december 6 without the cooperation of the Loyola administration, was delivered secretly to both Santhanam and the administration january 16, for comments by both parties. In a 60-page rebuttal, the administration reportedly rejected the recommendations of the report, which called for binding arbitration in the case. In a meeting january 24, the CAUT academic freedom and tenure committee accepted the investigation report and authorized the CAUT executive to find out if the Loyola administration would accept binding arbitration. Malone had until january 30 to reply.. Presumably, failure to respond would have brought a blacklisting of Loyola by the CAUT, a procedure in which members of the faculty pressure group-which includes most Canadian academics-would be warned away from seeking employment at loyola. The administration action in seeking a court opinion on the Santhanam firing is identical to tactics employed by the univer-

prof

sity of New Brunswick last year to justify -the firing of professor Norman Strax, a physicist deeply involved in radical activities on the UNB campus. New Brunswick courts upheld the UNB administration’s right to fire Strax over the protests of the CAUT. A retaliatory CAUT blacklist of the campus was lifted this summer when it became obvious the pressure group could not aid Strax in any way. The Loyola action undercuts the credibility of the CAUT, which claims it acts to pressure the interests of Canadian faculty in disputes with university administrations. CAUT officials were unavailable for comment over the action. The AUCC directions disagreed with both of CAUT’s reasons for commending binding arbitration and for backing up the proposals with the threat of a faculty blacklist of Loyola. ’ The CAUT investigation team -argued that the handling of Santhanam’s contracts by the administration had been “so confused and misleading that it is not clear if Santhanam has been fairly dealt with.” The CAUT team also argued that “approximately half of the college faculty and a considerable percentage of the student

body were unconvinced that Santhanam has been fairly dealt with. ” AUCC argues that acceptance of CAUT’S reasoning would establish precedents that dismissed faculty are entitled to “one more review” beyond regular channels of the university: and that “the presence of a body of supporters.. . warrants the acceptance of an additional new and outside level of authority in the university’s administrative processes. ” Neither precedent, AUCC said, would be “in the best interests of the institution as a whole or the students in it.” The AUCC is a loose association of virtually every advanced post-secondary educational incountry-it stitution in the maintains offices in Ottawa and sponsors conferences and occasional research projects funded from a levy of $1.75 taken from the tuition fees of every student at a member institution. CAUT is a loose association of most of Canada’s professional academics. The organization also maintains offices in Ottawa and sees itself as roughly responsible for mainta.ining the rights and prerogatives of faculty atcanadian universities. CAUT is financed from membership dues.

Levitt charges dropped Charges against Cyril Levitt, sociology 4, for theft and possession of stolen goods were dropped by acting administration president Howard Petch in Waterloo court monday. Levitt’slawyer arranged to have the charges dropped by Petch in return for a public state. ment by Levitt that theft had not been Levitt’s intention. “I apologize for not having returned the letter upon the request of Dr. Petch,” Levitt said in court. “I detained the letter in order to photocopy the contents before returning them. ” Levitt was handed the letter at a student gathering discussing the committee of Ontario presidents’ discipline report september 24.

Petch had claimed violence has no place in the university, when discussing the report. Students offered to check his files for references to- weapons research done at Waterloo-a move which Petch did not oppose at the time. A letter to Petch from the Canadian Senate, mentioning the need for neutron experiments to mock up a nuclear-explosion was subsequently environment, handed to Levitt to read to the September group. Petch filed the charges several days later. His reason for the apparent reversal about opening his files was unclear. In part he said it was to show student leaders the consequences of taking all

violations to civil courts. The courts view things in black and white and don’t understand the special problems of universities, Petch said. Student council has rejected the discipline procedure the committee of presidents proposed. It would allow the university to take, special action on offences normally handled by downtown courts. Council said this would place the student in double jeopardy . Several student observers from Osgoode Law School felt Petch may have been moved to the compromise by the high quality of Levitt’s lawyer, Joe Pommerant, a well-known Toronto criminal lawyer, and Petch’s tenuous position.

OTTAWA (CUP)-An early morning raid by city police monday ended a brief occupation of a suite of offices in the University of Ottawa administration building by a group of frenchspeaking social science students demanding french-only instruction in their faculty. The 18 students were charged with petty trespassing for their action, which began late sunday. Although the students were threatened with expulsion and suspension by U of 0 security staff during the occupation, a spokesman for the administration vice-rector’s office said monday none of the 18 would be dismissed or suspended by the university. The students, released on their own recognizance, were to appear in provincial criminal court monday afternoon. The occupation was the latest move in a campaign by U of 0 social science students to gain all-french instruction in the 350 member faculty, which is about 85 per cent francophone. A referendum in the department turned thumbs down on the institution’s bilingualism policy january 22. Although none of the four optional policies on language of instruction open to voters received a clear majority only 13 per cent, of student votes favored retention of the current bilingual instruction, while 34 per cent voted for french unilingualism and 53 per cent favored either of two proposals for priority french instruction. Despite the vote, the social sciences faculty council last week refused a demand by the social science students union for a special meeting on the question, and the administration remained committed to its current form of bilingualism. The’ student council at the U of 0 remained committed to changes, with many students complaining that the current biingualism policy often gave friday

priority to english in the social sciences faculty. In one department, students said, all but two of the 25 courses are offered in english only. Students taking part in sunday’s occupation said they were “quietly taking over the offices of the teaching staff in an attempt to draw attention to the language conflict in the f acuity. ” They also gave assurance they would “avoid I-,he unfortunate excesses that have marred other protest activities” and would damage no property.

Wesf rejects new union SASKATOON (CUP)-Five mayor western universities have voted not to attend a meeting at McGill university early in february to discuss forming a new national student union. At a. meeting here january 17 and 18, the five universities decided instead to concentrate on forming strong provincial unions, and working together on problems of “mutual concern” such as unemployment. Represented in Saskatoon were the universities of British Columbia, Alberta, Manitoba- and Saskatchewan (Regina and Saskatoon campuses. ) Delegates from the provincial student associations of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta also attended. The universities agreed not to attend the Montreal meeting because the forces at work to destroy the Canadian union of students were still present, and they felt no- viable students’ association could emerge. Instead the universities will meet in Calgary february 6-8 to discuss student unemployment , and again late in march to talk about unemployment, accessibility to post-secondary education. pollution research and student participation in university government. 6 february

McGill SQC students department God, MONTREAL (CUP)-Approximately 100 sociology students staged an hour-long seminar and confrontation on the seventh floor of McGill University’s Leacock building last friday in the first round of a campaign of guerrilla tactics to underline student grievances over course content and departmental government. The move followed a decision taken at a general meeting to bypass class boycotts or occupations, tactics students felt would be defeated. During the action, students sat down in the seventh floor hallway and held a discussion on the textbook used in the introductory course. _ They demanded that passing professors - sociology department offices are on the floorexplain the nature of the research they were conducting and the way in which they ran their courses. They challenged prof William Westley on several studies discussed in the introductory course, including one aimed at better integration of soldiers into the Canadian army during the Korean war. Discussion was interrupted twice for performances by the Red Star Chickenshit Brigade, a group of sociology students which has staged guerrilla theatre in several classes. Elevators leading to the floor were blocked by the seated students but passengers were directed to stairway routes to their destinations. The sociology student union is planning more surprise actions in future weeks, including in-class confrontations and ex-

pansion of Chickenshit Brigade appearances. Students will be asked to vote today on a position paper declaring the SSU stand on negotiations for student’ representation in the department. “We’re not playing the numbers game anymore,” said a member of the union in reference to the battle students have waged for several years for parity representation on departmental committees concerned with curriculum and hiring and firing of professors. Last year, sociology students and faculty set up a depart‘mental “caucus” with each group equally represented-decisions were to be made by consensus. Students withdrew from the caucus january 12 after faculty

unilaterally dissolved the body and then attempted to reconstitute it without consulting the students. The group could not get together on the question of hiring of new professors-the most important reason students saw for their presence. A meeting january 16 decided to return students to the caucus to negotiate a new form of departmental ’ government. student representatives were instructed not to discuss department business or debate facultystudent ratios. “There’s no point in fighting for democratization,” one student said on the seventh floor f riday . “They (faculty) may have all the power, but we have the real power, the power of the people, behind us. ”

AKxon vetos college WASHINGTON (CUP) - A crisis in the American student loan picture - with an estimated “tens of thousands” of students unable to return to college next month-was reported Saturday 1 government and private sources. The crisis follows defeat of a congress appropriation of 229 million dollars for the government’s direct loan program under which federal funds go to universities that make loans to deserving students. The money was in the big labor and health, education and welfare appropriations bill vetoed last week by US president Nixon. The veto was upheld by the house, and a new measure is yet to be drafted.

ed deputies of shooting persons with shotguns and of beating others after they were arrested. Six of the ten indicted in the conspiracy charge were also indicted on the beating charge, along with two others not charged with conspiracy. The two, Leonard Johnson and Lawrence Riche, were indicted under federal law for depriving James Rector and Allan Blanchard of their constitutional rights by “imposing summary punishment upon them.” Rector was murdered by a shotgun blast as he watched the struggle in the streets from a rooftop. Blanchard was blinded by another blast while watching from an adjacent rooftop. Others, including reporters, were wounded. The conspiracy indictment provides a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison or a $5,000 fine on conviction. The other charges, including the ‘ ‘misuse of shotguns,” are alleged deprivations of citizens rights “urider the color of the law.” As such they are misdemeanors, and provide for maximum punishment of a $1,000 fine or one year’s imprisonment.

QUEBEC CITY (CUP )-A move by the Quebec government to reallocate priorities on grants to provincial universities-with more to go to francophone campuses than under a previous formula-brought a protest from the administration of anglophone McGill University last week. The McGill delegation, led Rock Robertson, by principal opposed a january 16 grant formula of the Quebec Universities Council in a four-hour meeting with council officials. The january 16 proposal follows an earlier offer made november 17, 19693 which would have anglophone campuses given $48.7 million instead of the $41.9 million now offered for 1970-71. that “McGill must realize

NEW YORK (CUPI)-Sixteen black panthers who went on trial in supreme court here monday shouted down arguments in pretrial motions as hundreds of supporters picketed outside demanding their freedom. On two occasions judge John Murtagh cleared the court and ordered recesses. The panthers are accused of conspiring to bomb department stores, police stations, a botanical garden, subway switching stations and a district school office, as well as with possessing dangerous weapons. Supports contend the panthers are victims of a police frameup inspired by the party’s admitted revolutionary political beliefs. During the stormy opening .day, Murtagh frequently threatened defendants and their lawyers During the stormy opening day, Murtagh frequently threatened defendants and their lawyers with disciplinary measures for their actions. He opened the court with the announcement “there will be no disruptions.” ’ The first major interruption came while defence lawyer Gerald Lefcourt was arguing a motion that Murtagh disqualify himself from the trial because 8 14 the Chevron

Murtagh called a recess and’ ordered the 16 panthers back to the prison pen. They have been in prison since arrested april 2, 1969, in lieu of bail ranging from $25,000 to $100,000 for ten of them. Outside, scores of police, many on horseback, kept guard on more than 300 demonstrators who sang, chanted and marched in the rain, carrying banners ‘reading : “stop the trial.” Hundreds of police were assigned to the courtroom ,both finside and out.

eorge Wald, a Harvard biologist spoke last friday about the ways in which science is applied in today’s society; who should make the decisions, and what immediate decisions are necessary now in order to avoid a world disaster. In keeping with his discipline, Wald considers it of greatest importance that there be a constant reappraisal of decisions made, just as in evolution, the law of natural selection continually is adjusting the/organisms to their environmen t. Wald began his talk called The human perspective with the observation that “men everywhere and at all times have asked the same questions: whence we came, what we are, and at least some intimation of what may become of US." Be rested his faith in science for providing the best approach for answering these questions. By science, he made it clear ‘that he did not include the applications of science, such as the application *napalm to peasants. Wald summed up his faith in science for providing the answer in the same sentence that to hi? summed up Herman Hesse’s Siddartha. “One’ can gain knowledge in words but wisdom only in things. ’ ’ Science, as the attempt to extract the wisdom in things, is altogether good. “Any other view,” ’ he felt, “would be a plea for ignorance. ” At present, judgemen’ts are being made by the producers of technology, “those) who see something to gain through it, profits, status, power.” At present, judgements are being made by the producers of technology, “those who see something to gain through it, profits, status, power.” He feels that the decisions should be . being made by “those who have to live with the products.”

In order to strengthen his argument for biological planning, Wald gave a history of the universe tracing life from the birth of the stars to the present day, showing how , evolution was able to bring about such complex organisms as human beings. Technological planning; on the other hand, offers no immediate feedback and pursues an unpredictable course. It sets out the specifications and then tries to realize them, . These two opposing principles of

design are seen to be applicable to the social and political sphere. Wald sees as a gross mistake the technologiCa1 design imposed on the new and growing nation of the United States at its birth. The constitution set down for all time the rules for realizing the ideal society. The english common law, however, over centuries was evolved bY a ceaseless trial and error process. Wald felt that “the most perfect expression we h.ave politically of natural selection is democracy, and the most indispensable element of democracy is it’s openendedness.”

Let one

solve

other

Wald considers the two unprecedented major threats to our very existence as the threat of nuclear war and the population explosion. Although in the past biologists have measured the success of a species in terms of reproductive ability, Wald feels that we now had better consider the quality of life as the factor major criterion. According to Wald, the world is heading towards unprecedented famine and in the next few decades. Although at present the increasing rate of food production could in fact catch up- with the population for a limited time,” the human enterprise surely has to mean something more then to achieve the degradation’ inanity, the meaninglessness of trying to see how many people we might be able to keep alive on the stirface of the earth.” Wald suggests that evei-ywhere in the world safe, free, methods of birth control should be made available and that cheap, preferably free, safe and convenient means of abortion be legally available. It is hoped that “we achieve a situation in which ‘nowhere in the world need a woman have an unwanted child.” Wald gave some statistics showing the use of abortion as a means of birth control in catholic %ountries where other means of birth‘ control are not readily available. l In France there is one abortion for every one live birth. l In Latin American there are two abortions for every three live births. l In Uruguay there are three abortions for every live birth. For those who have reservatiohs about birth control, Wald reminds them that at present, hunger, disease, war and \

poverty limit population since birth “What we are doing control doesn’t. now is turning loose the four horsemen of the apocalypse upon the children of the earth. ” If birth control and abortion are not enough, Wald suggests a re-evaluation of the situation at that time; perhaps some plan like tax exemption for small families.

Does causes

deal

with

of symtoms

In the following question period, one person strongly suggested that Wald deal with causes rather then symptoms. He wanted Wald to deal with methods of preventing conception rather than suggest killing unborn children.. Wald questioned the definition of the ’ beginning of life as being the union of egg and sperm. He tells of a scientist friend of his that has repeatedly been able to make unfertilized rabbit eggs become rabbits. According to Wald, an embryo becomes a human being (ai .birth, “when it becomes part of human society.” ’ One student asked, “what can we do about nuclear weapons. Nixon just announced to-day that they are ,going ahead with the ABM system and it looks like this is going to progress into a new arms race: ” Wald rested his hopes on an increasingly a’ware electorate. He blames manj, world problems on a degree of insanity in high places and said that “those people who are posing as the most prac- ’ tical are the eraziest. ” The U.S. and Russia have nuclear stockpiles that have reached a point where there is “the equivalent of 15 tons of T.N.T. for every man, woman and child on the earth”, and on this basis they are beginning new escalation. -

Pentugonism the uhimute imperialism Wald explained the reason for the stockpiles has little to do with defence. Rather they are the product of pentagonism, and imperialism is just “peanuts by comparison”. A few statistics were given: l military procurement for ’ next ‘year is 21 billion dollars;---* The U.S. has 20 billion dollars of military equipment in South Vietnati; -. l billions were spent ark the EM&bornber which have never been used and are’ now being pushed aside; ’

~ /

.

l the 5A transport was contracted for 2.8 billion. Already the department of defense has bverun this ‘figure to 5.2 I billion. This fact was carefully concealed and only recently discovered because as Department of Defence accountant Fitzgerald put it “It might otherwise have adversely affected Lockheed stock”. Not on? plane has yet been delivered. A recent test flight revealed, a tendency to crack had been observed in the wings. In contrast: l The gross national product of South Vietnam is only 2.4 billion l The GNP of all South-east Asia is only 10.1 billion. “You can’t make much money out of south-east asians. They don’t have it. You want real money, go where it is. Where is it? We have it. The american public is paying this enormous load of taxes. With these taxes one buys a hell of a lot of military hardware. The only problem is to dump it somewhere so that we can buy some more. ” _ Wheti someone asked why the objection to a planned society, Wald again explained his objections to a ‘precise plan that has to be carried out in its original form without recourse to feedback. He was sceptical of such social structures as Chinese and cuban communism. “These things when yolzng sometimes ofier a lot more hope than when they go into the second generation and begin to go over into the almost inevitable bureaucracy. “There is nothing as much like wealth as political power, and bureacracies are pretty much interchangeable. ” Wald said that he “wouldn’t give up on the thought of a democratic society that restrained its capitalism. What we have npw is a supercapitalism.

A biological

parable

$

Wald gave this closing biological parable : TWO hundred million years ago, dimoqaurs ruled the world. The main reasons for their extinction and’ consequent take over of its mammals was the ratio of brain to brawn was very sm&l and dinosaurs didn’t take care of their $oung. Now’ in the age of technology with automobiles, airplanes and missile’s as extensions of our brawn power, the ratio of I, brain to brawn has b&n greatly diminished. We have become dinosaurs again.

In second

place

Warriors

avenge

By Ted Pimbert Chevron staff

For all you worry-warts out there who were disappointed when the warriors beat McMaster by only three points-relax. The ugly rumour that the warriors had to win by four was untrue. (that will teach you to believe what you read in this column). In case of a tie for second place there will be a playoff in a neutral gym. This means that the warriors 86-83 win over Mat is a victory in all its glory. The first half belonged to four players on the court. The two Mat guards John Dignan and Paul Mazza combined for 22 of 39 first half Mat points and each made some really brilliant scoring drives. On the warriors’ side, Bill Hamilton and Dave Crichton kept the warriors in the game. Crichton came into the game with the warriors down 13-5 and picked off defensive rebounds madly as well as making several outstanding defensive plays. His efforts seemed to lift the team and they came back to within two points. Hamilton was also controlling the boards and contributed seven points to the warrior score in the first half. Walt Lozynsky had 11 points in the first half to lead the uniwat boys, with Jaan Lanniste getting 8.

Laaniste’s low total is explained by the fact that Mat was playing him very closely so that the warriors kindly asked Laaniste to stay out of the way while they played four against four. The warriors could never get the lead in the first half, it ended 39-36, but when they got it in the second they never gave it back. Some great shooting paced the warrior takeover as Laaniste went 6 for 11 on the half, Bilewicz 6 for 8 and Hamilton an amazing ’ 8 for 9.

For the first time ever the warriors have been able to make a big comeback against the University of Toronto blues. Trailing for most of the game Waterloo managed to score four third period goals to salvage a very important 5-5 tie and remain a strong contender for first place. Urged on by hordes of Waterloo fans the warriors had a strong

first period, even though they trailed by a goal. The blues opened the scoring at lo:03 when Len Burman deflected a pass from Paul Laurent. Waterloo came storming right back on a similar play by Roger Kropf to tie the game a mere 29 seconds later. Both teams had many good opportunities to take the lead but it wasn’t until 19: 13 that the blues capitalized on a goal by Terry Peterman. Waterloo outshot Toronto in the period and appeared to have a good edge in the play. The difference was their inability to finish off plays in front of the net. Had their shots been quicker and harder the warriors would certainly have had the lead. Period two saw the blues come back to take control of the game and extend their lead to 3-l. The first ten minutes were even but again the warriors failed to score. Many good opportunities were missed because the shots were too high and either went

over the net or were easily gloved by goalie Adrian Watson. In the latter half of the period the blues forechecked their best of the game. Waterloo, who was using only three defencemen, began to tire and allowed Toronto to have by far their best scoring opportunities of the game. Three goal posts and excellent play by Jim Weber, especially on a clean breakaway by John Wright, held the blues to a single goal when Paul Laurent fired in a rebound off the goalpost. The last twenty minutes were by far the best. The warriors got a big break when a fan cleared the enemy bench with a very effective stink bomb. Coming early in the period this delayed the game about twenty minutes and gave the warriors a badly needed rest. No sooner had play resumed than Ian McKegney narrowed the gap to one when he scored on a two on one with Dave Rudge. Just over a minute later Wat-

erloo fans went delirious when Roger Kropf combined with Ian McKegney to score a beautiful goal. The warriors had come back in just two short minutes to tie the game - something which even the most faithful were beginning to abandon hope for. The rest of the period is really beyond description. Twice the blues went ahead and twice the warriors swept back. Brian St. John neatly picked the inside corner over Weber’s shoulder but Cam Crosby offset this th_ree minutes later with a blazing low shot to the outside. Goalie Watson seemed to have little trouble with high shots but this one had him beat all the way. When John Wright put Toronto ahead-with a flukish goal from behind the net it looked like the same old story all over again. Waterloo refused to quit, however, and Savo Vujovic sent Waterloo fans into ecstasy when he picked up a trailer pass on an apparently broken up three on one and fired a low shot. ’ For the warriors and their fans the outcome of the game was a moral victory.

must have played well. Waterloo played a lot more consistently than did Toronto who came on in spits and spurts. It appeared that the warriors paced them-‘ selves much better this time than they usually do against the blues. Ian McKegney and Savo Vujovic were standouts. Not only did they play practically the whole game but they scored two of those four big third period goals. Cam Crosby was dangerous all night and provided Waterloo with some badly Roger needed hitting power. Kropf, who has been consistent, ly good all year, finally saw his efforts pay off in two key goals. In addition one cannot fail to mention the fine play of goalie Jim Weber who thwarted many good Toronto scoring chances. It is good to see that so many Waterloo fans were able to view the best game of the year. Their presence was very “noticable.” as they greatly added to the excitment of the event. The warrior band was at its best and has the lady godiva crew beaten hands down. The warriors next game is tonight at Waterloo arena against McMaster University marlins. 6 february

The basketball athenas came up with their thirteenth win of the season as they downed the University of Guelph 70-30 in exhibition play Monday night. The athenas outscored Guelph 54-10 from the floor. Strong athena man-to-man and zone press defence allowed Guelph only five field goals. This same defence accounted for the 31 fouls against the athenas which resulted in 20 points on free throws for Guelph. The athenas played shaky ball for the first two minutes but a Waterloo timeout settled the team down and resulted in a 15-4 lead at the end of the first quarter. Waterloo outscored Guelph in every quarter for the 70-30 win. Athena head coach Sally Kemp used the .game to experiment with a new 1-3-1 offence designed to break a zone defence. This offence proved especially effective in the second half as strong outside shooting allowed the atenas to outscore Guelph 42-15. MaryAnn Gaskin led the Athenas hitting 75 percent from the floor for 14 points. Charlotte Shaule added 11 for Waterloo. Guelph’s best show was Phyl-

This quarter was the lowest scoring one for the athenas all year with the only field goal netted by Sue Murphy. The athenas started to move in the second quarter with three quick baskets and held a 14-8 . lead at the half. By switching to a zone press in the second half, the athenas began to play their own game. Waterloo began to move faster and controlled the play cornpletely aided by the strong rebounding of Patty Bland., Sue Murphy and MaryAnn Gaskin forced many of the Ryerson turnovers which led to the athenas outscoring Ryerson 33-12 in this half. As well as playing strong defensively, Bland, Gaskin and Murphy headed the scoring list with 10.9 and 8 points respectively .

What past RC Commissioner Wood called “this series of leetures” (the authors are unidentified, though several people, including Diefenbaker are credited with assistance) in the introduction can give us the needed insight into the police beliefs that ensure that the tautology of authority operates when reform movements begin to show success. %will concentrate on a sampling of statements to show the police beliefs that complement the use of police for political oppression. “Freedom” is of course the call word. Our society does everything-fought “two terrible wars”, entered Korea and joined NATO-‘“to guard against

the ever growing danger of a tyranny such as the world has never known.” What the tyranny is is not clear, but it is better propaganda if left un~ntel~ig~ ible at this stage in the “book.” The “forward” clearly established that “we” are the good guys. It also establishes the use of an irrational language about crime. "'Cfjme is ~~~%a~jQws and i~~a~%jQws~ ~~~%a~% wj%~

Worded in a mdre rational way with some argument involved, this statement could suggest that criminal socializatisn and recidivism result from penal subcultures, which is the case; but, since the book includes a large dis~ussiQn of political laws, this irrational statement serves ‘as a basis for the "ConSpiraCy theory” that is central to police ideology. This conspiracy theory, which pervades the media and government as well as the police, goes like tbis:

Could the a~thQritar~a~ setup of police forces themselves lead many ~~li~erneu to project their own dependency on rigid authority and leadership into a ~Qns~i~a~y theory of social m~vememts? Their own forced dependency certainty eomplements tbeir un~uesti~~i~g belief in conspiraci Arresting “the leaders” is thus justified as bei both in the interests of “public order” and “the ~~rnrnQn good. ” 1% is even good for the people led astray.

Next we get a 40 page summary of treason, seditiQn, ~~~~uuis~9 fascism, and national socialism. It has tbe same assumptions of many university cQurses taught by those iuti~i~ate~ by isrn, though the blatant statement of t never succeed in passing as value-free social science, even to the most i~~Q~tr~n~te~ students. Order is again tbe main emphasis. Order and eivilized (versus primitive) societies ar equated. And tbe ~uevitable ~Qutra~i~tiQn ~Q~QpQly capitalist is exposed. The “Stat t the ‘Tndividual” nsti becomes i~~Qrta~t per se. Sedition helps to preserve ‘“The tra~quility of the state.” The political ~~~~ession Qf the police is thus “justified” not by sotie quasi-hu~auis~ but by a ~seu~Q-t~tal~taria~is~. rnanist rhetoric might even subvert the RC if it was articulated. clearly. ~emtiQn is made of the ~Q~vi~tio~ of R.B. sell, a leader of the ~i~~i~~g strike (1919) for sedition : I‘

And this is aided by the same sld double-talk: ‘“no evidence.. . that he was a Communist.. .still his speeches showed that he believed and a~vQ~ate~ the priu~iples adopter by the ~o~~u~ists”. According to the “book” sedition protects soeieties from “outside influences,. . .supp~ess~ug all activities” which would lead to “civil war and anarchy. ” ‘“Every serious minded citizen” should as.. sist in “erra~~cating this menace to his way of life, his home, his freedom Qf thQugbt and his country. ” The wording almost incites the true believer in the conspiracy theory to go out and kill himself a commie for the good of ranking. It never ceases to sh~ek me how words can be ~~u~itioue~ to such irrationality, with no valid meanings whatsoever. After this, communist and fascism are both defined as tQtalitarian9 and arguing from general, tautQlo~i~a1 principles, to specifics about history the simplistic conspiracy theory is again perpetuated. Any possible un~erstan~iug of the history Qf Europe since the turn of the century is ~estrQye~. “Fellow travellers” are implicated in the plot, and again tbe,~oli~e~an becomes the true protector Qf peace, law and order. Then there is the task of ~~ntrQlling riots. DQing his duty of breaking strikes, protest ~e~oustratio~s

“You’ll be happy to know,” said the pilot on Air Canada flight 911 that a heat wave has just gone through Winnipeg and its now a sizzling twenty five degrees (long pause) below zero.” All DC9 of us were happy to hear this because he’d predicted a 28 below while he guided our silver bird over Owen Sound. I really wanted to go up to the front and talk with the two privileged gentlemen (they can, or at least were smoking as we boarded) (why? were they nervous?) and ask them silly irrele- vant things so I could write a whole big un-political story on “Jet Jockeys” or “Pilot Power” or “Coffee, Tea or Cuba” but there were these two ex-football players blocking my path through the aisle. _ While boarding, they had seen my longish hair and my 2 year old $10 Army-Navy parka and had mentioned something about not wanting to go to Cuba, but I assured them I was going to Winnipeg.

The first thing I wanted to ask the pilot was, “what would you do if the right wing fell off?” I can imagine his response,” it won’t. ” “But if” I would say. l “Activate the explosive bolts that hold the left wing on, so the aircraft will retain symmetry and balance” ‘) l “There’s a spare right wing under my seat” l “The cabin with orange seats (first class) will separate and settle gently to earth at the nearest bar” But of course I was fascinated by the complete lack of almost anything in that part of Canada between here and there, and so I stayed glued to my window seat fondling my scotch on the rocks . and trying to eat a steak lunch on a 5 inch square plate while reading the Globe & Mail beside two ex-football players. It was 25 below when we landed and skidded to a stop, and I have several witnesses that will testify that we did skid SIDEWAYS a bit on touching the icy runway. Anyhow the week in Winnipeg was filled with many thrills. One was grovelling around Portage and Main at 38 below looking for a phone booth so I could call the Chevron weather office and tell them that the temperature at 2 in the morning with a 40 mph breeze was 38 below. There was no phone booth. They wouldn’t have understood anyway. I guess the other big news will be of special interest to native Winnipegonianites. Rumour has it that a large flag measuring approximately 7 x 14 feet is missing from the soutmheast corner of the Hudson Bay store. It has, in fact been missing since the thursday of the week that I was there and can be identified by being a red ensign with a dirty white HBC in the field. I claim no part in the scullduggery that removed it, and report its loss for informational purposes only. Now that I’m back in civilization, I hope my regularity will return. I mean of contributing to this paper although some see little difference. Next weeks topic will be: Of the thirty toi/ets in the mens washroom at union station, only two are free and subtitled what to do when they are both filled with winos and you have only six cents and some scotch. Sounds like a thriller,

Of the white Chicago blues men, Charley Musselwhite is probably one of the finest. On his latest album, Tennessee woman, the evidence is presented in true form. / Musselwhite and his band have come up with a variety of musical content based mainly on the blues style which has been coming out of Chicago. - The title song Tennessee woman brings out Musselwhite’s superb harp playing which partly developed from the style of ‘Little Walter’ Horton. Coupled with the guitar work of both Larry Welker and Tim Kaihatsu, who have been with the band for quite some time, the overall sound is one of complete togetherness. \ Skip Rose is the pianist of the group, and as such does an excellent job of maintaining the basis for arrangements, particularily in A nice day for some thing.

Here along with the guitars and consistent harp, Rose fills in and holds the main theme with extended phrases of solid playing, while keeping the rhythm along with drummer Lance Dickerson. On Blue feeling today, Rod Piazza, of the Dirty Blues Band, is heard playing the more mellow

This powerful and disturbing novel is the fifth and last in the cycle Children of violence; the earlier in chronolog$cal order, Martha Quest, A ones are, proper marriage, A ripple in the storm, and Landlocked.

In the first. four books. we have Martha Quest’s girlhood in “Zambesia” (much like Rhodesia), her two unsuccessful marriages, her period of membership in the Communist Party, her doomed love affair with a Jewish refugee and her final decision to leave her child in the care of relatives and go to England. This book is concerned with her life up to the present as secretary, housekeeper, and mistress of an with a long epilogue describing her English writer, ,escape from the disaster of the mid-1970’s and her position as matriarch of a colony of survivors in the Western Isles, until her death sometime after 1990. Miss Lessing draws on the techniques and material of science fiction to complete her work, and does so brilliantly. The cycle of novels, which should be read as a whole, is concerned with two themes: the develop-

chromatic harmonica. Filling in and providing a base for interpretation, Piazza lets the harder sound of Musselwhite’s harp come through distinctly but with ease. The longest and probably the best cut on the album was done on the earlier Stand back album also on Vanguard. sounding somewhat similar Christo redemptor, to a spiritual with its repetitive theme?, all!!.w?, each ot the soloists to improvise to a much fuller extent than was possible in the shorter version. Guitarists Welker and Kaihatsu both show fluent work, complementing each other with heavy blues. Mixed with the harp of Musselwhite which carries the theme and then goes off on extentions of it, the whole of the instrumental provides an excellent mood of sensitivity. Carl Severeid maintains a heavy bass line throug.hout the album and coupled with drummer Dickerson providesa good solid rhythm section. Tennessee woman is an excellent album because of its good musical content within the Chicago blues style.

THE FOUR GATED CITY-DORIS

ment of Martha’s character from the eager child of the first book to the clairvoyant, indomitable old woman of the final scenes (Miss Lessing calls the work a Bifdungsroman); and the narrative of the collapse of human society in the mid-twentieth century. The picture which emerges is one of humanity looking remarkably like Kipling’s Bandar-log: busily making messes, leaping to any rationalization rather than facing facts, and helplessly confused by a tangle of taboos, rituals and myths. The virile young Zambesian turns out to be a little boy terrified by the prospect of sex. The communist Party grows in the WWll alliance and writers with the advent of the the Cold War and Black Nationalism. Martha’s employer Mark and his family are hounded and ostracized during the McCarthy period (his brother defects to the Soviets) and later lionized. Jack, the sexual artist, becomes a particularly repellent pimp. Above all, as catalogued by Mark on a chart which eventually fills an entire room, the people of the world keep piling up. explosives and poisons, with the inevitable, final result. ,-

The Beatles are scared and so are we. Abbey Road is an opera, a story, a history, carrying the Beatles and us all through a crisis, the breakdown of 1969. Musical contradictions among the people. The individual songs on side one are part of the experience of terror. The first character in the opera of desperation is Old Flattop (haircut of the 50’s), hair down to his knees, a freak, a joker: a collage of us. Hold you in his armchair you can feel his disease. He shoots Coca-Cola. All he can tell you is you got to be free. Come together, over me. A collection of all our superficialities, everything and -nothing. He’s got to be good looking cause he’s so hard to see. The singer cries, Come Together ; the. guitar just cries. Something is about the way we’ve learned to relate: non-verbally. “She” moves, woos, smiles, knows : everything except talk. Something in her style that shows. You ask me (someone else is asking, not her) will my love grow? I don’t know, I don’t know. “Something” is pulling him toward her and away. Something is making him leave her. friday

LESSING

Early in City, Martha is asked “What do you people want anyway?” Her answer is “We want things to be called by the proper names.” But mankind is unable to do this, and so there can be no communication and no society can last without it. As in Mark’s parable, the City of Man falls. The most complex stable organization which man has ever developed is the tribe. It is to a tribal society that Martha and her friends turn, first by choice in England and then by necessity on their bleak island. It is from this tribe that come, mutated by the poisons let loose in the world, the strange children who may be the successors of man. All technology has done is to provide fertilizer for another evolutionary spurt. Martha Quest is one of the great characters of fiction; her story might be called, to use a once abused phrase, the triumph of will. As for the narrative, any person who has followed the events of the last twenty or thirty years will agree that Miss Lessing’s account is correct. In the next tv. ?nty years, we will see whether her predictions are correct.

He doesn’t know why. Then a love song from the 50’s except it never mentions love. Darling, if you leave me, I’ll never make it alone. Terror. Instead of I love you, they sing, I’ll never do you no harm. Cause that’s the assumption : lovers harm. In the 50’s we covered that up with the ideology of undying love. Will my love grow? I don’t know, I don’t know. Nothing comforts us now, the mask is off. We can’t go back to the 50’s again. We know too much. I want You (She’s So Heavy). The desperate end of side one. I want you. I want you so bad. I want you. I want you so bad. It’s driving me mad. Over and over. Everything is heavy. The music becomes oppressive, an obsession. The same theme repeats more and more intensely, more desperately, the organ screaming/moaning in the background. Listen to the storm engulfing the music at the end, the storm that sweeps above the Octopus’s Garden. Things are moving toward a breakdown, madness, a crackup. When it finally ends in sudden silence you’re relieved, grateful. There’s no way to end the song except to stop it. Stop it! . 6 february

ience did little to make Walker feel welcome, let along appreciated. At one point he said “When I feel uncomfortable, I like to play my favourite songs” which he -proceeded to do. As far as the audience was concerned the statement was as much a part of his regular act as his most famous tune, Mr. Boicms/eS. During his ’ second set Walker was able to establish much more rapport with his audience. By this time most of the patrons had finished with their fondues and wine and were willing to devote their full attention to the stage. For the most part, Walker sang rather subdued songs in the- second half, although perhaps his most popular number scram b/in’ a Ramblin’ was bawdy, funnny song of the dif-

One of the problems with Capeuvin may be the cost ($1.50 for admission, $1.75 for fondue, $1.25 for a split of wine.) The usual crowd of freaks who would be attracted to a performer like Walker might shy away from such a place, while the ones that can afford it are more interested in showing their girlfriends a generous night “on the Town” than in appreciating the entertainment. The concept of a quiet, relaxed club-type place is a good one, but it’s too bad that price restricts the kind of people who can attend.

If you’re bored, aren’t in the mood to think a lot, and would rather be entertained, then escape to The reivers. The reivers is a story about the growth which an eleven year old boy experiences in a four day period. The action begins when the parents of Lucius (Mitch Vogel) are called away to the funeral of the boy’s grandfather and he is left at home with Boon (Steve McQueen) and Ned (Rupert Crosse). He is’ warned not to let Boon talk him into using the newly purchased family car. Boon gradually talks Lucius into going into the city and sets up alibies for him to tell to his relatives in town. After discovering that Ned had stowed away in the back of the car they get to the big city and head straight for the most sophisticated whorehouse in town,’ where Boon’s favorite, Conny, lives. “It’s, well, sort of a boarding house, “as Boon explains to Lucius. In the late evening of the first night of ‘their ’ stay, Ned returns with one horse, minus the automobile.

“You traded the carfor this horse-” “Yep, that’s right. You know how Boss loves horses. ’ ’ A chase that ends in the realization that the horse must be used to win back the car. The chinanigans of trying to get a horse to race that won’t. Add the local sheriff and the ‘ladies’ from the ‘boarding house’ back in the big city. The horse race..‘;. Lucius confronts ‘Boss’, his grandfather at the horse ra&e. He is faced with the lies of the last four days and his father. Boon realizes his love for Conny. The movie ends with Lucius, Ned, and Boon laughing in the chugging car set on blocks for the winter. The photography is what makes the film The excitment of the yellow Winton Flyer arriving amid the smoke and clamour of sooty old 452 is captured vividly. The fight in the watermelon stand is smashingly caught and the horse race in slow motion is titilatingly superb. h The reivers, Steve McQueen has gone back to the roles that he played in movies like

for learning fiction than

to learn fact

As a long-time student of fiction, I was fascinated by the great display of that commodity found in your article, “Loot for learning to learn,” in the Community Issue of 23 january. Your writer has, however, missed the essence of fiction : verisimilitude. In other words, the situation described in any work of fiction must be close enough to fact to be accepted by the average reader - unless, of course, the work falls’ into the science fiction category. But then, because of the liberal use of numbers involved, perhaps that is where the article fits. It is interesting to learn that, by implication, my colleagues and I “only pays (sic) about half their taxes, evading the rest by holding stocks, employing lawyers and accountants to find loopholes”. In the nearly fifteen years that I - a fairly typical U of W professor - have been in Waterloo, I have used the services, of a lawyer once to help me three times : buy a house, once to help merent that house, and once to have him draw up my will. T own no stocks. On the basis of what evidence, therefore, did you make such a sweeping And didn’t last statement? year’s Chevron editor have quite a bit of money invested in stocks? I am fascinated to learn that, according to your article, the less, money you earn, the more taxes you pay. This is certainly the unmistakable implication of paragraph 2 of your article. According to the latest tax tables, I pay (and anyone with the same income and family pays) roughtly ten times as much income tax as a person earning somewhat more than a third of my salary. Who is against? being discriminated And who is paying though the nose for your education, you bloody hypocrite? I am, for one. You say that there are social classes in our community. Stupendous discovery! Now name one society in which there are no social classes. That of Russia, “amat&r” perhaps because hockey players in that country are paid more than doctors? You shed bitter tears over the alleged fate of the children of the labouring class, imploying that “labourers” make up the vast bulk of the population. Now, only an ‘idiot would claim that as great a percentage of children as of finlabourers’ anciers’ children go to university. BUT, according to John Porter’s The Vertical Mosaic (which can hardly .be called pro-capitalist), the group known makes up only “labour” of Canada’s working ;;.5% force. Unfortunately, the! only statistics ‘I have concerning the origin of.%university students are those found in Porter’s book, and they date back to 1956. they indicate Nevertheless, that at that time 5.1% of university students came from that 20.5% of the population - a low but not quite so percentage, tragic as you claim, and one into acwhich does not take count the fact that a great many members of the “labour” group

are people intellectually incapable of assimilating anything education. beyond elemenary I know that many other members of this same group are university material, but I also know that those people very often do get to university. To cite only examples from “labour” families I know personally in Waterloo, one boy has an MA. from Waterloo and is now working on a Ph.D. at UBC, while another is doing well in his third year at this university. So far as farmers are concerned, yod fail entirely to take into account the attitude of many of quite them who, while often wealthy, insist that their childthe girl ren - especially leave school at sixteen. There is real capitalistic greed. They want the kids to work in their and brainwash them system into accepting the idea from early childhood. The figures in The Vertical Mosaic are obviously out of date, but the changes in percentages between 1956 and 1970 indicate would undoubtedly that an appreciably higher perworking centage of ! ‘ordinary men’s children are going to university than was the case in 1956. (What does your old man do, by the way?) For what they are worth, I quote the occupational statistics from p. 184 of the Vetical Mosaic : occup. level

Stud Tot.Lab. Parents Force

Proprietors and Managers Professionals Clerical and sales Skilled and semi-skilled Agriculture Labour

25.7 24.9 12.3 21.1 10.9 5.1

8.3 7.1 16.5 30.6 15.7 20.5

It has undoubtedly not come to your attention that skilled and semi-skilled workers (of whom there are a lot more than there. are labourers)’ are usually middle-class people, though you would like to, claim them as part of the “labour” group. Did you not know that Toronto plumbers make about $20,000. a year in Toronto, and that local ones do almost as well? That, for your information, is considerably more than most Ph. D’s at the U. of W. make. And what ,about T.V. repairmen, automobile salesmen, welders, electricians and numerous other non-professional people, many thousands of whom fall into the $10,000 - $15,000. (or more) class? Where did you dig up the statistic about Kitchener’s ranking 47th in average wages”? It may be true, but where did you find the figure? I doubt if any member of the faculty would argue with your general thesis, which appears to ’ be that the children of the rich should not have so much opportunity of geater an going to university than have the children of the un-rich. But how many young people do you know, personally, who have been prevented, by lack of funds alone, from attending university? You must avoid exaggeration and you must quote the source of your figures, or you simply make a fool of yourself and destroy your argument. Incidentally, would you be so good as to inform ‘the public of the way in which the average arts student is moulded by his evil professors into becoming a mere tool of the industrial

Perhaps establishment? YOU would also explain, in what way graduates in other faculties are turned into mindless robots, forces with the eager to join rotten capitalists to suppress If graduates in “the workers”. Science or Engineering accept work with large corporations, surely it must be because they choose to do so, not because they are dragooned into it *You write bilge because you want to, so I pressume they have the right to work for industrialists if they so desire.

Or are you, like one earnest young sociology student to whom I was speaking last night, going to be a truck driver? A final note: you have printed some worthwhile material against pollution. Here is a genuine issue. So why don’t you hammer away at it?

As to the question of whether last years Chevron editor held stocks, we would advise our reader to write directly to him, Mr. Stewart Saxe, 106-45 Rideau . Ottawa, 2, Ontario. As to who pays how much in taxes kindly read special staff studies No. 6, Carter Commission Report on Taxation. Porters book begins with a denial of social class and then proceeds to document the reality that Canada is dominated by a who have power and, group bluntly, run the place. Anyone can specify individual cases of mobility, the point is that root causes of social classes needs to be destroyed. As for wages in K-W read the dominion bureau of statistcs reports for 1969. Pollution is a Isymptom, treat the disease! Faculty neither toil nor rule, their purpose is to mystify in the interest of the ruling class. And, in reference to the writing of bilge, there are two sides and you’ve chosen yours, so, UP AGAINST THE WALL MOTHERFUCKER. The lettitor

Could it be that Mr. Jim Murdock, sports director for the Plumber’s Society “A” is mad at himself because he did not take the initiative in organizing a trip to Toronto for Warrior supporters? As for his figures they are incorrect. From what I have learned from reliable sources the prices quoted by Murdock are lower than those actually asked by Lishman’s. Even so, Burley’s Bus Line was more reasonable than Lishman’s. As for the 177 tickets, Plan 72 only sold about 60 because the Phys Ed dept wanted the tickets back. This was caused by some confusing situation in the Phys Ed dept. Is $5.50 too much for a $5.50 regular return bus fare plus a $2.00 reserved ticket? And if Plan 72 did make a small profit, is it too much for such dedicated work in providing a means for Uniwatians to support their Warriors in the most important game of the hockey schedule?

night unfair

After watching the perf ormances on international night spon-. sored by the ISA, I felt I have really watched a good show in my one and half years of stay on campus. In fact this is not only my opinion but also of many others who were present there. We could not even think of any better performance from a group of ‘amateurs’ who were sel-, ected as Waterloo students not on the basis of their artistic ability. Yet they cared to take lot of strains to produce such a gala performance and did not even think of spending their valuable time with the expectation of some reward. But in appreciation of their endeavour they received unfair criticism. One wonders if a Chevron reporter is competent enough to comment and criticize the performances which he perhaps watched for the first time in his life and possibly he may not have the slightest idea about the customs and cultures of other parts of the globe. I would appreciate if I am allowed to know the exact purpose of printing this article. Was it really for filling up the column? Or was it intended to be a real criticism which in my opinion is impossible for a man of earthly abilities to have sufficient knowledge to make any comment simultaneously on Indian classical dance, pakistani magic, irish folk song and Chinese dance. It would also be a great pleasure to know the fine arts background of the particular reporter so that we may boast of possessing at least one such learned man on the campus.

of student profit I submit a few thoughts on the student council’s decision to limit the number of social events any club may sponsor. I congratulate Mr. Fleming use

club for personal

and the geography- and planning club on their ‘enterprise. Unlike Messrs. Silcox, Patterson, Burko et al. I am not jealous of their profit, and would not stop them merely because it is impossible for 10,000 students to do likewise. I will leave for another time, another place a discussion of the implications of this decision and confine myself to a few comments on Patterson’s proclamation “By running it himself, he’s not running a service. he’s making money. He has no right to exploit anybody. ” God (sorry, Patterson) implies that providing a service and making money are mutually incompatible. I challenge him to explain why. The federation, having been shown by more capable people than themselves that students want social functions, now jump in and use their little bit of power to sever the arteries of this, and other, flourishing clubs. What are they afraid of? Mr. Fleming has no right to exploit anyone. Agreed. Neither has student council. They were elected to represent the students, not rule them. Everyone on campus has equal rights. Anyone could organize a social event, but it takes time and a lot of work. Council takes it upon themselves to penalize those who are willing to do this-because they are successful. Nobody was had to attend, club in question been no event in

exploited. No one and without the there would have the first place.

To sum up, I congratulate student council, and particularly the president and at least one aspirant to his position, one of the most petty actions it has been my misfortune to witness. The sooner they learn to MIND THEIR OWN BUSINESS, the happier we will all be. Philip S. English grad physics Reporter incompetent high says them eng

Your “art reporter’ while viewing the international night performances must be high on something or else his background in his field is seriously doubtful. It is very amusing to , read a single human being of no particular distinction commenting on a dozen different cultures which may very well boast to be the parental cultures of the contemporary world. I think it is physically impossible for one person to know, let alone be competent enough to criticize, all the fine arts on the globe. It will be interesting to know how well travelled your reporter is to be so authoritative in all kinds of knowledge which mankind has been trying to develop and preserve from times immemorial. It will be still more interesting to know what academic and extra-curricular qualifications (beyond grade eleven drop out) does one need to be a Chevron reporter. I think the two basic things the Chevron lacks are common sense and courtesy. And unfortunately, except by the process of natural learning (an extemely slow process indeed ;

starts from the very birth! ), one cannot buy them from any hippie shop. One must possess common sense to understand the basic difference between a performance by amateurs and a professional show; to decide what and how much to expect from each. To my knowledge, the participants never claimed to possess a professional skill. It takes a little courtesy to appreciate at least the initiative and efforts it ‘takes a student organization to present a show of this calibre. In my opinion, the night was a real success and the whole audience exception without any fully enjoyed every bit of it. We should be thankful to the organizers and participants for giving us such a lively evening on an otherwise dead campus. Jai Gopa, Bansal, grad them eng In&n S~OUM

Republic Day fete huve forgotten kfs

I happened to be on your campus last sunday and took the opportunity to participate in the Indian Republic Day celebrations. I would like to comment on that. The function was a total disaster. The people seemed to have gathered there not to listen to the various performers, but to chit chat incessantly. If one needed proof of that menace to mankind - population explosion - all one had to do was to be at that, function. There were kids all over the place. I have nothing against children (I am a liberal), but I am of the opinion that at a public function they should be neither seen nor heard. Especially when what you heard throughout the evening was the yelping and crying of babies and what you saw were kids wandering all over the floor (in and around the dais) throughout the performances. To me this shows gross disrespect for our performers on the part of the parents of these kids. The fantastic performance of the master of ceremonies should not go unpublicized. The gross out that he pulled by telling ethnic jokes (which were inane and stupid) was an astonishing thing. All I say is that if any people who were the butt of these jokes were present in the audience I can only apologize to them and tell them that it was just as embarrassing to me as I am sure it was to them. In closing, I would like to tell the organizers of that function that I am not downgrading their efforts, but please, in the future if you want to put up a public function, don’t allow kids under five years of age, and try to keep the chatter of the audience to a dull roar. This would have done wonders for the whole evening. In writing this letter, I realize I am raising the hackles of a number of Indians. I am sorry for that. I am not trying to be anti anything. I am just saying what I and a number of other people in that audience felt. I hope it will be taken in the right spirit. A. BHARATIY A grad McGill

Address

graduating engineer,, would like to ‘congratulate’ the University of Waterloo for the fine example it is setting by holding Canadian consulting firms in such high esteem. During the january 20th meeting of the board of governors, the administration was authorized to appoint a consulting firm at a price of $40,000 to study the administrative structure of the university. Al Adlington pointed out that an american firm would likely be hired because Canadian firms are not experienced in university analysis. However, during the same meeting it was mentioned that there is not a shortage of highly trained technical Canadians and enrollment policy might have to be changed. I would first like to point out ’ that any person who never undertakes a project unless he has done it before, would still be a child sitting in a corner sucking his thumb. Secondly, if Canadian universities do not have enough confidence to use their own graduates and spend Canadian taxes in Canada, Canadian taxpayers should demand a refund and then close the universities. However, if an american firm does the analysis and concludes that there are not sufficient smart Canadians to run the university, maybe all we dumb Canadians can be turned out to pasture, the university an’d country * auctioned off to the highest foreign bidder, and then all we dumb Canadians can spend all our time marvelling at the Great Happening created south of the former border by all those experienced people. We can all see how experienced analysis is paying off in the american universities and indeed the whole United States. We Canadians can maybe do a better job of deciding how to improve our university by thinking about the situation ourselves. Is there anyone in the crowd willing to try and if so is anyone willing to give him a chance? CARL ALEXANDER mech eng 4B

Campus center does& clock. Use paper towel

have cash

As a not infrequent user of the campus center, I pose the following question. How is it that the great hall is bereft of a clock? I am congnizant of the fact that one does exist, but is nestled deep within the confines of the office. A clock in plain view would be a boon to the many students who because of poverty are dependent on public timepieces. I feel that a clock on the wall behind the information desk would in no way mar the aesthetic setting of our campus center. If anyone objects that it does look out of place, perhaps it could be draped with discarded pop cans and chocojate bar wrappers. This would lend protective camouflage enabling it to blend in with the rest of the scene. Or perhaps we could borrow some of the math de-

atus should be no trouble. PP&P is saving so much money by supplying paper towels for first year them labs that they should be more than able to come through for us in our hour of need. If that falls through, perhaps one of our mechanical engineers could sober up long enough to borrow a few parts from our scrap iron centerpieces and make one. An alternative solution would be to ask some one to donate one. Where it comes from is immaterial. I do feel however that one is, necessary. JOHN DARK arithmetic 1

mitted to live there. This move on your part forced me to search elsewhere, and, in doing so, I found accommodations much more suitable than Student Village II, namely the “Co-op.” After having lived here for over one term, and having compared it with reports from friends living (or formerly living) in Student Village II, I feel I can honestly say I enjoy living here more than I would have at the Village, notwithstanding the cost difference (which probably would have sent me into bankruptcy anyway had I decided to live in the Village). I wish you the best of luck in trying to fill up Village II. DOUGLAS

Faculty-workers represented

are by Pet&

not

Dear Editor: In the editorial “Faculty are workers ? ’ ’ in the jan. 30 issue, it is mentioned that president Petch circulated a memo among faculty to the effect that faculty salaries had risen 33% in one year. That is right, he did. But it should have been pointed out that the memo was grossly misleading. The raise was 33% over two years. Dr. Petch’s “year” was June 31/68 to July l/69 inclusive, and thus included two annual increases. N.R. ISENOR physics faculty.

Abler’s but not

anthro really

class c/u// that boring

With particular reference to the Chevron of friday, january 23, I think that the article on Abler’s anthro was little more than vicious slander. While anthropology is at times dull subject, an admittedly Abler has obviously spent a fair amount of time and effort in preparing his lectures which, as one of the “martyrs”, I don’t find nearly as boring as Kenner seems to. The article also failed to point out that Abler is working under the handicap of teaching a class that is overenrolled by something in . the neighborhood of 65 students. While I agree that the function of a newspaper is to criticize and point out areas of weakness, that article seems to mirror the current Chevron attitude ; destructive and inaccurate reporting with nothing constructive at all to offer. Even if the article was written in jest (which I doubt) it is a kick in the head to severe someone who is trying to do a good_ job. In my opinion, the fact that article was printed shows complete callousness and lack of common sense on the part of the editor as well as the reporter. JEFF

Re: the article by grad planner, Doug Webster. Thank you, Doug, for enlightening me as to why I am here -I must admit that the thought of those stimulating middleclass cocktail parties, and the chance to live in a suburban bungalow is certainly a great incentive for me to continue my studies in the planning program here at Waterloo. (Sorry, I am just not the Ford Mustang type.) But, although I am ver) eager to learn how to put the oppressed where they belong, in all my youthful ignorance one thing still bothers me-even now, after all these years, whenever I screw someone around, I feel way back in my mind a small twinge of conscience-I keep fighting it, but it keeps coming back. When I mention this to my have already friends who ‘made it’, they just laugh and tongue me down, saying that if the university was doing its proper job, I wouldn’t think this way anymore. In conclusion, I thank you for a very good article on an important lesson in living, but I ask if you might write another dealing with the topic of ‘Beating one’s conscience into subor perhaps ‘Success : mission’, a measure of how many backs you break on the way up. !

Poison penner elitistkocialist

Just a short note to Janet Stoody concerning the return of the Poison Penner. Penner has not returned; he is being imitated, and very poorly at that. This is not the 01’ (Poison Pen) Penner that we used to know. This imposter uses too much rhetoric and he’s not even very funny. Don’t allow yourself to be fooled by the elitist-socialist faction of the Chevron staff. STEWART

Penis odour, a new bodily disease has been recently discovered by the makers of a product called Braggi. the world’s first masculine -hygiene deodorant spray, and as the ad says: “If you think you don’t need it you’re fooling yourself. ” This new Revlon creation, which appeared in Playboy magazine last month is undoubtedly the masculine response to the recently-marketed Feminine deodorant.spra y ( FDS ) . As incredible as it may seem, this product will eventually to the shelves and cupboards of affluent males throughout ica.

Braggi is designed to control and suppress all “unpleas?ant” natural functions in the groin area, functions which most males have probably I _ - never felt concerned ‘about in their lives.

But just as the advertisers of the profitable sex industry have convinced the public that hair on the female body is obscene, that the application of FDS is a necessary process for every female in search of a loyal bedmate, that perfume, makeup, shaving lotion, and deodorant are prerequisites for people entering into the company of others, they will no doubt assure men-especially those interested in the “liberated sex life” of Playboy magazine-that they really do have smelly crotch rot, and that girls naturally will not go to bed with them unless they use Braggi. The exploitation of sex for the purpose of making profit, in the last decade, has been primarily geared towards the ever accessible housebound market of women: Obviously the business is so good that Revlon has decided it’s time to work on the fellows, and where is a better place to begin than with the most sensitive and vulnerable-culturally and physicially-area of a man’s body, his genitals. -Perhaps the most destructive aspect of this industry, besides its utter wastefulness of human and economic resources, is the perverse attitudes toward love and sex it forms in the minds of men and women. Because of the powerful effect of advertising, products such as Braggi and Cupid’s quiver really do become human “needs” after a period of media indoctrination. Most men today almost naturally think of hair on the ’ legs of women as an ugly sickening sight. It is quite likely that, because of this, they would be sexually unarousable even though they might be attracted to the “hairy” girl in other ways. Armpit hair and perspiration have become hangups for both sexes. The continual bombardment of the playmate of the month image, that is, the flawless, hairless body with not a pimple or wart in sight has caused men to desire such a perfect sexual object. It has caused women to seek artificial tain the unreachable physical perfection erica.

It would seem that even girls who are sickened by what they are told to do with their bodies would submit to pressure anyway, simply because they believe that men won’t take them any other way. Interestingly enough, Desmond Morris points out in The Naked Ape, that “The female who so assiduously washes off her own biological scent then proceeds to replace it with commercial ‘sexy’ perfumes which in reality are no more than diluted forms of the products of scent glands of other totally unrelated mamallian species.” Perhaps this proves that animals are more intelligent than humans in this respect, since their attraction to each other does not depend on the suppression of their natural sexual characteristics. For us, living in the midst of the Revlon and Avon world, it is hard to believe that before industrialization men actually could stomach having sexual intercourse with a natural undeodorized. unshaved female. We wonder if we would consider Cleopatra as ravishing as Anthony did, if while portraying the queen, Elizabeth Taylor appeared on the screen displaying pubic hair under her arms. We would even guess that Eve had a terrible case of B.O. living in the jungle like that, but Adam apparently got over it despite the absence of Ban and FDS. However Adam and Eve were uncivilized, and ironically, in the name of progress, the thriving, very rich sex industry has replaced those natural but ‘unattractive’ sexual habits with perverted new concepts, such as “necessary second deodorants”, in order to solve the\ very pressing prob; lem of penis odour. We simply will improve.

“We’ll still see each other. It’s just /that as a group we feel washed up.”

The court system in Canada is rigged. Historically, it has been any effective instrument in the hands of the ruling class to quash all forms of threatening dissent. Business has used’ it against labour, whites have used it against Indians, English Canada has used it against Quebec, and university presidents have used it against students.‘ When administrators demand separate university courts, they somehow place the activity of the university outside society. At the same time, the law of the land extends into the university. Hence, students could be tried twice for the same offense. We wholeheartedly support the position consistently maintained by student council, that there be no code of conduct in the university outside of the Criminal Code. In an Ottawa interview, ad\

ministration president Howard Petch stated that he preferred charges ggainst Cyril Levitt to teach those in studentgovernment who hold the “no double jeopardy” position a lesson by showing them in practice what the courts are all about and hence, how a uni- . versity code is much more preferable. The university is a specialized institution, not a special institution. It is essential for to-day’s SQciety. We believe that the civil and criminal courts should adjudicate problems within its walls. If students are to feel the sting of repression, they should receive it directly from the “power elite” and its. court and not through some administrative committee composed of people playing ‘fdisinterested scholar” yet who are really interested in expelling dis- \ senters. /

From Wald to where? The inaugural Hagey lecture began in proper style with professor Robert Huang introducing Jay’hlinas who in turn introduced the guest speaker, George Wald. His extremely entertaining speech was given a standing ovation. Some ladies even requested autographs afterwards., . Then everyone went back to his own cosy little corner and’ felt good about having heard a controversial speaker. What Wald told them was that unless we act im‘mediately to alter the path of history, the human race will soon be extinct. Maybe he said it in such a nice way that no one felt personally attacked. Consequently no one felt any compulsion to do something about it. thing about it. How many- people were awak-

ened enough to look at the society about them and realize a new course of action was needed, if not for themselves, for the future of their children. ’ Wald is not going to change the world for us, neither is any other hero, politician, or crusader. It 1 is the people of this society that .’ have to do something. There is no viable answer in a static solution or blueprint. The most natural way is to “evolve through a ceaselesscritical analysis of status quo; and more im---portant, applying that analysis to the situation at hand. Understanding the, problem must be complemented by .action. To remain silent when the environ- L ment around you is in conflict with yourself is to violate the natural laws of evolution.
