GULEPH (Staff) In a blistering statement alleging “yellow journalism”, university of Guelph student union president John Flegg justified friday his order to close down the’Guelph student paper, the On tarion. Speaking to a mass meeting of students demanding reasons for his unilateral action, Flegg claimed the paper was not living within its budget and should be entirely financed by. ad revenue. But feelings at the meeting were that Flegg, who had been repeatedly attacked by the Ontarion during the past year, was using the unproved charge of money mismanagement as a means of revenge for what he claimed was “cowardly and malicious innuendo” over the past six months. Charging he was a “lackey” of Guelph administration president James Winegard, others asked Flegg if it was in fact on Winegard’s orders that he padlocked the Ontarion offices. The Ontar-

l rn

ion has been campaigning against the administration for several weeks over the firing of a popular professor in the department of sociology and anthrppology. Flegg countered that he agreed with the paper’s stand on the sociology question and that he differentiated between the editorial and financial policy of the paper. “But why, ” he was asked, “did you close the paper only three days before leaving office? ” “And why did not this action come through those responsible for union finances? ” The Ontarion staff denied they had received any warning from the executive that the paper would be closed if they did not prove financial solvency. Former Ontarion editor Chris Terry charged Flegg’s action was taken “without true appreciation of public opinion at this university”. After almost three hours of debate,

Ontarion the general meeting voted to remove the chains locking the Ontarion offices and minutes later thirty of the more than 100 people who bald stayed the length of the meeting occupied the inner Ontarion offices with the excepttion of the room containing the paper’s IBM typesetting equipment. This equipment is owned by the student union and it was Flegg’s stated intent to restrict its use to a union information-organ called the Ghibylene. . When students earlier had expressed the desire to allow the Ontarion staff to continue its crusade against the sociology department pending an investigation of the Ontarion’s books, Flegg refused to allow the current editorial board to use the’ name “Ontarion” but said he would offer the machinery at cost tq “a group chosen by the general meeting”. The Ontarion staff later decided to continue weekly publication using other

hutdown

equipment in the area provided they were successful in their appeal to other member papers of ‘the Canadian University Press for financial grants. The staff also plans a campus-wide referendum later in the week to reverse Flegg’s action. Although Terry suggested Flegg “operates from a very personal set of values”-faculty - student dispute or not-the fact remains that despite the period of time involved, he chose to act only in his third-last day as student union president. “You, as a lame-duck president chose to close the Ontarion down,” charged editor Tom Jorgenson, “the fact that you don’t like the editorial board does not give you the right to close down a paper. Are you God?” When asked by an observer why he acted without consulting the students, Flegg smiled and said only “this may get me bumped out.”

Senate

c0nsidef~

Aside from the mundane routine of rubberstamping committee reports, a discussion of the relative merits of representative versus direct democracy was all that really happened at thursday’s senate meeting. The democracy issue arose over the proposed constitution of the environmental studies faculty. The school had proposed that faculty members and students would all be part of a general assembly. However, this council would only make recommendations to a council. The , council would have about 25-30 members, which would include eight faculty reps (two from each division within the school). It was this. point that prompted cries of “vertical facism” from professor Leslie philosophy Armour. He claimed that by having only faculty reps, the school would be following the paths of corporate business, a path which would only hurt the existing situation, where “faculty have little value placed on their opinions. ’ ’ Armour

iness can not be presented by a rep, as it is usually on an individual basis. Without the opportunity to state any case faculty might have, *he saw an increase of business being settled through deans’ committees, leaving the council powerless. Engineering dean D. Scott opposed the constitution on the grounds that the makeup of this council did not representative allow for enough interfaculty participation in decision making. Two reps from each university faculty are included on the council. “I see what was originally intended as a cooperative interfaculty venture wandering off as a separate entity”. Whispers of “empire building” drifted across the r_oom in support of Scott. Environmental studies prof Jack Ellis, who originally moved acceptance of the constitution defended the clauses under question. He pointed out that the constitution was a product of meetings of students and faculty within the division. In reply to Scott’s claim, that no other faculties were part of those meetings. Ellis said that no constitu-

Grad students are once again holding a general meeting at which they will be deciding whether or not to remain in the federation of students. The meeting will be Wednesday at 4 pm in the campus center pub. Federation, president-elect Larry Burko’s statement on this issue follows. “Each year the executive of the graduate student organizar tion works all year for the general meeting of the grads in an effort to get the grads out of the federation. Each year someone from the federation comes and talks at the meeting and convinces the grads to stay in the federation. Each year the grad executive crys a little and then starts working towards the, next

year’s meeting.” “My personal opinion is that the Grad Student Union Executive is a grand pain in the ass which . we could easily do without. ” “I believe that grad students have benefited from the federation in the past and I know that they would benefit even more this year, but if they are going to vote to stay in I hope they either elect an executive which will work for them rather than against the federation, or disband the so-called- union which does nothing except provide a few services which the federation will more than adequately supply this year. “If they don’t plan on _ doing one of these two things I would encourage them to withdraw.”

tion ever was ratified or composed by other faculties in the past. He also felt that provisions for calling of special meetings where any faculty could speak would cover Armour’s ’ objettions. Acting dean Warren Ober applauded the school’s move to “Presently, representativeness. council is too open to manipulation thpough packing the meetings. Acting on a representation of the grass roots sentiment would be better.” History prof Paul Cornell was dismayed that people were being moved several levels away from the decision making. He favor-. ed retaining direct voting faculty councils, coupled with the use of the three rea’ding system used in Canadian parliament as the best solution. ‘ ‘Faculty should still have some say, as scholars, not employees, ” he claimed. Acting. academic vicepresident Jack Grey agreed with the need for a council, and preferred a direct one. “Council meetings are rude, vulgar, obnoxious, loud, and have a shockingly low level of debate, but its all we’ve got to retain some level of democracy,” he stated! The constitution was eventually withdrawn, to be discussed by a senate committee and made’ available for senatorial recommendations for changes. The remainder of the public section of the meeting w,as spent discussing the university budget. In commenting on one section of the budget-the contingency fund for withdrawals-acting administration president Howard Petch pointed out “There seems to be a significant increase in withdrawals this year” He did not elaborate further. The last part of the meeting consisted of business which senate felt would best not be heard by the general public. Consequently reporters and observers were cleared’f rom the room.

Some university employees have to work for their salaries. It takes up to 16 ,pails of water to clean the mud tracked into the first floor physics corridor.

No trial date has yet been set and the students remain in jail. Kennedy wrote a letter home, informing his family of the situation and claiming no substance to the charges. A telephone conversation with a reporter from the K-W Record told of miserable conditions and police harassment. The department of external affairs is cooperating with the families of the accused in efforts to obtain their release.

Despite their attempt to show politics doesn’t belong in the federation, politics was very much, the ten tre of discussion be”tween two‘ rivals for the environmental studies seat. Said Rick Page, right, “Burke’s asked me to be his vice-president. ” “‘Is that so? He’s also endorsing me. ” replied Morris Strasfeld. .

Morris Strasfield, architecture, 2A, gave his reasons for running for council. “I want to be on council because I’ll attend all the meetings.’ Quite often, people on council are indifferent. But I really do care.” He hopes to see the political involvement of the federation decrease and said that he will be an honest representative of the people if elected. The fact that his previously acclaimed seat will now be contested does not bother him. “I’m glad to be running,” he stated. Rick Page, planning 3, wants to see a more active student council. “Too often, councillors have thought that their job was to go and sit at meetings and then go home. They should be more involved.” He said that he hopes some of the politics is kept in the federation in order to decide financial matters, but adds, “Political pressure is more effective on the outside. There’s too much talk about representation on council. ’ ’ If council does become a service organization, Page would be well qualified for it. He has been associate director of Camp Columbia, a representative on a student-faculty liason committee in planning, and he ran centroid. He has also been involved with sandbox and the board of student activities.

Derek Brown, poli sci 2, gave some specific reasons for running for student council. “I don’t like the compulsory 22-dollar fee unless we can get more out of it. I would also like to see the condition of the campus center improved. ” he said. He said that student council should only provide services because “most of the kids on campus don”t give a damn about politics and council should reI flect that”. Brown has been chairman of the student service committee for two terms and ran the dropin center for orientation. Commenting on the new university act, he said, “Students should be represented , in any facet, but they shouldn’t dominate.” He said that apathy reflects how the federation is not representative of students. “Students don’t want a petty parliament.” he stated. Peter Desroches, psych 2, said he is running for council because “I agree with Burko being, in his own words, ‘benevolent dictator”‘. He hopes student council isn’t dismissed because, of the need of some body -of representatives for social events. ’ Desroches refers to himself as a friendly turnkey at the campus center and has been on village council. When asked about apathy on the campus, he replied, “I don’t believe in apathy. Everybody goes out on his own trip. People are involved by doing their own thing, whether it’s academic, sexual, or whatever. Apathy doesn’t exist.” Paul Dube is the only incumbent candidate in the elections. He has been Renison college rep for one year and was closely linked with the political executive. He is not in complete agreement with Burko: “I think it is important to have some politically-minded people on council. ” he stated. “It’s alright to increase the service organization as long as the politics remain or there is something to take its place. The administration will see the federation as the legal

representative of the students.” When asked how- he will represent arts students, he replied “The representativity of student council is a myth. It only represents students in liberal terms, along very bureaucratic lines. People at the. college expected me to represent them. All they wanted was to transfer their responsibility to me and then cry over spilt milk when I voted on council in instances where my own .views ran counter to theirs.” Commenting on single-tier said, “It’s government, he

co-option. It’s no good just to have representation. We must have parity. Otherwise, it’s meaningless. Representativity

is a game and it’s a game that removes any kind of real power.” Rob Fennel, psych 3, is running mainly because he agrees with Burko’s ideas for the federation. i “I’m in favour of it because it’s realistic. It would serve no purpose if we continue as we are.” he stated. “Everything revolves around Burko’s policies. We should cut down the size of council if it is just a service organization.” Fennel, who is the president of . student council at St. Paul’s

college, ran twice for council last year, but was defeated by narrow margins both “times. When asked how he would represent arts students, he answered, “Representing arts students is close to being impossible. I get the impression that what all arts students would like to see is council reduced to a committee of five.” Commenting on the proposed singel-tier government, he said, “That is one of the reasons why a political federation is not necessary. I’ve noticed that when a student is put on a board, they don’t show up. You have to prove yourself to the quoteunquote establishment. Change to me comes gradually. “I hope we use our representation effectively. Only in the last few years have the administration been willing to listen to student opinion. ” ~1 Lukachko, planning 2, said that he decided to run for counthere was - only cil, because one nomination in for arts with four hours left. He said that council should be a service organization and political views should be aired in unigov. “This should be a phasing out year.” he stated. When asked how he will represent his constituency, he said, “I want to serve the interests of arts students. I will do what they want, even if it goes against my own beliefs. In matters of -a political nature, I will consider their opinions and then vote.” Lukachko, who is a Chevron contributer thinks the new structure for university government is a good idea. * “It’s the direction we’re looking for. It will bring us back to the idea of university controlled by the people who make it up.” Referring to the large number-of acclamations, he said, “I’m surprised that some people have found this as a quick, easy way of gaining office. I’m glad that arts wasn’t acclaimed. I wouldn’t represent them.” The other candidate in arts, Jennifer Maceonald could not be contacted before presstime. ‘The other candidate in arts, Jennrfer Macdonald, could not be con tacted before presstime.

Bill Carrothers, Chemistry 3, has been on council before.- He feels that council has a job it can do and that the trend towards service’ functions is not harmful. Council doesn’t have to look for politics but if an issue arises, it is the organ to handle politics.” He feels that it is good if the students are allowed an effective voice on the university government but, he adds, “from past experience they (the administrators) are polite but they don’t listen.”

Whoever once said that history repeats itself must have had our hockey team in mind. For the fifth straight year over 2500 enthusiastic fans have packed Waterloo arena to see the big game for first place, and for an equal number of years they have seen their aspirations go down the drain. What makes it worse is that every year disaster strikes in exactly the same manner. Waterloo always dominates the first period by a wide margin but is never able to open up a lead. In the second stanza the roof falls in, usually with a rapid sequence of three or four goals. From then on the game becomes a mere formality as the blues chalk up the win. The only exception to this highly predictable pattern was last december when the two teams tied 3-3. ’ Last friday was no exception. What was billed as the game of the season turned out to be a disappointing dud, as the blues won an easy 9-6 decision. As incredible as it may seem in such a high scoring contest, the game was virtually won in ,the first period. The warriors had enough chances to win several hockey games but each time they either shot wide or were foiled by goalie Grant Cole (not to mention the two goalposts they hit). After Waterloo had riddled the Toronto net for ten

uninterrupted minutes the blues struck swiftly on goals by John Wright and Bryan Thompson. This setback seemed to destroy the warriors’ spirit and, but for a brief flash in the third period, they never regained the top form they displayed at the beginning. 7: 03 mark of the second period put the nail into the coffin. This was followed two minutes later by yet another Toronto goal, this time by Nick Holmes. Rick Maloney finally scored for Waterloo (his first of two) but by that time the blues were already thinking of champagne. The first half of the game was a good calibre of hockey, despite the unpleasant score. The second half, however, saw the contest develop into sloppy play by both teams, as reflected in the ten goals scored during that time. Mike Cyr led the blues with two goals, followed by Brian St. John, Bill Buba, and Dave Field. Ken Laidlaw paced the warriors with two while Dennis Farwell, Rick Maloney, and Dave Rudge had one’ apiece. In searching for reasons’why the warriors lost one can only come to the conclusion that they were beaten by a better team. Toronto still has the basic elements which have been characteristic of former championship teams-that is, good goaltending, fast skating, sharp passing, and hard accurate shooting. Although they aren’t as good

chcimpionship

’ physical conditioning and can claim the strength and determination to compete internationally. George pinned Holmes later to win the weight class. Brian Westell, the warrior heavyweight, came off his back to place second in the tournament by pinning Larry Bird of Western. Westell drew Ed Millard, canadian champion, in the first round of the tourney, After putting Millard on his back not once but twice, Brian lost the bout to the champ. Millard had found, however, that Westell was a man not to be beaten easily. The thing that makes that fight a great one for the warriors is that Brian had never wrestled before january 1970 and he has only been beaten two times, including his loss to Millard. Earlier this year Westell placed second in a field of outstanding heavies in the Guelph invitational. He finished this tournament showing the hustle and determination that had put him into the finals. Look out for this young man in the future. Jim Hall was the only wrestler in the OQAA championships to be declared champion after the first day of wrestling on friday. Jim was also chosen outstanding wrestler of the tournament. He pinned all his opponents and showed all the form that made him a CIAU champ last year. Jim has learned what commitment to sport really means and I think you might see this fellow in the 1972 Olympics. We had three other starters that did not fare too well in the tourney, Jack Walinga, Wim Verhoven and Ken Shuman. All three men ~contributed greatly to the stability of our team. Wim Verhoven lost by decision in both his bouts and I feel he will .be a threat to any wrestler next year in the OQAA. He doesn’t like to lose and functions with the moral and ethical standards of a champion. Ken Shuman gave the fans a

thrill when leading in a match with John Drohan, the 177 pound favourite, 8-0, but made a mistake and was pinned. If Ken will dedicate himself next year, no one in his weight class will touch him. Jack Walinga with La fine record this year had the worst luck of anyone. On a technicality Jack was disqualified from the tourney. I am sure Jack would have placed high in the tournament and should win the OQAA next year. Behind the scene we have our captain Bill Hedderson, who was hampered with an injury all year and lost a close decision to Wayne Gontier for the honour of representing the warriors in the 134 lbs. class at the OQAA championship. As only outstanding captains would, Bill took the loss in the wrestle-off to Gontier in stride and supported Wayne as no man could. We as team owe a salute to our captain for exemplifying the kind of quality that is rare today in sport. Bill has been with me three years and I wish it could be longer. He has placed second and third for the warriors in two previous OQAA championship. As a coach I could not ask for a better captain. Along with captain Bill we have a guy like former OQAA champion Bob Patfield who can claim quite an interest in both George Saunders and Brian Westell. Bob has taken a lot of valuable time to work out with both these wrestlers. We have missed Bob this year as a- wrestler and know that he will again be an asset in the future to the warrior graplers. Other wrestlers who stayed all year with our team and lost the wrestle off deserve more than their name mentioned. All of these gentlemen are good wrestlers and fine people. They are the following : Don Petrie, Jim Moon, Dave Finnie, Bruce Gribbon, Nick Cherri, \Milt Gluppe, Doug Elliot, Mike Cardiff, Gary McDonald and Craig {Telfer. With men like

these the warrior wrestling future looks very bright. Our team as a whole worked harder than any team that I have ever been affiliated with on any level in any sport. We were. in great shape and we had great spirit. Each man that wrestled in the final round at Western sprinted on and off the mat, and worked on the mat with determination, and pride that few people could accomplish. Our guys loved and respected one another, and that alone is reason enough to win a championship. Early this year I wrote a welcoming letter to all my wrestlers and ask each man to get his goals to reach higher than he could reach. Rapidly my men are learning to do this. I hope that each of the guys will learn not to feel too badly toward losing-when the opponent is the one losing. It is my feeling that these young Canadian athletes have great potential and I hope that they don’t allow anyone or anything to stand in their way in fulfilling that potential. Apathy can be contagious. The warrior team is comprised of young men that I don’t think will be afflicted, and our guys know that this championship is just the beginning to a career of love and dedication to a great sport, wrestling. just the beginning to a career of love and dedication to a great sport, wrestling. I Where else besides this wrestling team can you find men that apologize to the coach for not winning. I will never find a finer group of young people anywhere. A man ought to be challenged like I was challenged this past weekend with my team. AS the coach of the University of Waterloo warriors, I want to thank each member of my team for making my life more worthwhile. My family and I are humble for the pleasure of knowing that the guys on my team are some of the finest people we have ever known. God bless you all.

er as in other years they can still play better than anyone else in the league. The blues continually outmuscled the warriors at both ends of the rink. As a result Waterloo players were constantly being tied up in front of the Toronto net while the blues were allowed to buzz about Jim Weber almost at will. The warriors showed a definite edge in stickhandling ability and forechecking but were unable to finish off their plays in front of the net. The blues, on the other hand, were at their polished best, scoring nine times on only 34 shots. There are many ways the two teams could be compared but what this game really boiled down to was shooting and goaltending, and the blues were much better in both categories. Before the game started Toronto made the most of their warm-up. Their rapid shooting and three-on-one drills not only sharpen up the goalies but enable players to get their timing and shooting down to perfection. At the other end of the ice the warriors went through the standard warm-up. Once the game got underway we all know the story. The warriors couldn’t hit and the blues couldn’t miss. It happens every year. While Toronto should be g&en full credit for the win it must be pointed out that this was the poorest game the two teams have played this year. It’s very strange that goals were so hard to get in the

The blues were flying in their 9-6 triumph first period and a half and then later on came in droves. The last three that Toronto scored were completely unnecessary and have to rate as the easiest. goals our team has yielded all year.

The basketball athenas broke under pressure in the fourth quarter of the final game in the O.Q. W.C.I.A. tournament last weekend and lost the league championship to the Windsor lancerettes 42-36. The athenas won three games straight in the tourney and were ahead going into the final quarter of the Windsor game but lost the lead with six minutes to. play and never recovered it. On friday, the athenas took an easy 57-11 win over the University of Montreal team and a 52-23 victory from Macdonald College. Saturday, the athenas downed Carleton University 48-22 and thus ended up tied with Windsor with 3-O records for the tournament. A final playoff between Waterloo and Windsor was needed to break the tie and unfortunately for the athenas, there was only an hour between their Carleton game and the final. The lancerettes had a three hour break before the final. In the University of Montreal game, the athenas took a 9-O lead in the first quarter and outscored the U of M girls in the remaining three quarters for the 57-11 win. Charlotte Shaule scored 11 points for the winners while Jane Liddell and Sue Murphy added 9 each. Against Macdonald College, the Waterloo girls repeated their per-

formance, leading the entire game to down Mat 52-23. Patty Bland 1 netted 10 for Waterloo while Lid- / dell and Murphy again added 9 each. Led by Liddell with 11 points and MaryAnn Gaskin with 9, the athenas downed Carleton with little trouble. _ Against Windsor, the athenas started strong and took an early 15-7 lead in the first quarter. Strong rebounding and 5 for 5 on foul shooting led the athenas to the top of the 24-19 half time score. In the third quarter, the athenas’ shooting fell off as they managed only 2 of 15 tries while Windsor began to hit, netting 6 of 8 shots to close the gap. Waterloo had a slim 32-31 lead going into the final quarter. The fourth quarter turned out to be. a repeat of the third and the athenas were 2 for 11 while the lancerettes were -5 for 7. Again the lancerettes beat the athenas on shooting (73 percent for the final half). Charlotte Shaule kept the athenas in the game with 14 points, 11 of them’in the first half. Jane Liddell, in her first year _ with the athenas, played a fine tournament and was top Waterloo scorer with 33 points. Six of the 11 Waterloo players were freshmen this year and head coach Sally Kemp will have almost the same team for next year’s bid for the O.Q. cup.

It is with mixed emotions that we see the end of the 1969-70 basketball season. The warriors managed to even their league record at 5-5 by beating the Gryphons 94-89 in the Guelph field house on a Saturday night. Once again however the basic lack of consistency in team play kept the warriors from running away from a much weaker guelph team. For most of the game the warriors played lacklustre basketball and only brief inserts of excellent ball control by Tom Kieswetter, and fine shooting by Walt Lozynsky gave them a slight 4442 lead at halftime. The second half revealed a much better brand of basketball, but the inability of the warriors to put the ball through the hoop gave Guelph more than one chance to grab the lead. OQAA scoring leader Jaan Laaniste failed to get a single field goal in the first half, and only after Guelph was in the lead by 6 points did he come to life. Kieswetter led the warriors with 19 points while Lozynsky netted 18 and Hamilton and Laaniste added 15 each. Paul Bilewicz finally realized why he had his sneakers on and ended the. night with a not too spectacular 11 points and 13 rebounds. Phil Smith was the high scorer for the gryphons with a solid 25 points, while Leigh Hammond regained some of his early season form and hooped 16. Credit must be given to coach

Mike Lavelle, who did his best in moulding a group of young strangers into a championship contender. The success of a basketball season’ is not revealed in the won-loss columns alone; since all of the warriors should be back with Lavelle again next year. For those of you who were lucky enough to see the warriors at their best, no promises of future glory to come should be needed. The warriors had the individual talent, despite the loss of several key players early in the season, and all they lacked was leadership and the experience that comes from playing as a team. In a league as close as the Western OQAA was this season the lack of experience was all that kept the warriors from a berth in the finals. Perhaps now that the team has revealed their potential, our Athletic department might do their part in providing a much needed junior varsity team and a larger budget that will last the whole season. This year the University of Waterloo was the only major university contender that did not have a freshman team. It’s time that hard work and good talent was ‘recognized by both the uni.versity and the students. The .University of Waterloo has reached championship calibre in all fields of intercollegiate athletics (well nearly all, hintthe missing one starts with an ‘f’ and ends with an ‘1’ ) and its teams should be given the best possible conditions by which to continue this progress.

Lqnguage politicsof

Quebec politics has been dominated by the Question for the past year and a half. The the National Assembly has witnesse’d a procession of controversial legislation in the form of Bills 85, 63 and 62. The politics of the street has produced the confrontations of St. Leonard, Operation McGill and the ~50,OOO march in Quebec in resistance to Bill 85 in november of 1969.

Assimilation

and

Language

The question of language in Quebec is not just one of ethnic origin. It is a question of social class, of mobility and, for the French Canadian community, one of survival. The pressures towards Anglicization of the Francophones have increased both quantitatively and qualitatively in recent years. The concrete signs of this have expressed themselves in terms of the language of education and the language of the work place.

Population The percentage of the population of Quebec that is French has been declining. In 1961 the breakdown of the Quebec population was 8 1.1 percent French; 13.2 percent .English; and 5.7 percent other. The category of “other” is important because it covers the large and increasing number of immigrants. Montreal, which by 1966 contained 42.1 percent of the QuebecVpopulation, telescopes the problem. In St. Leonard, which was 53.1 percent French, 27.6 percent Italian, 14.3 percent Polish and Ukrainian, and 5 percent British, the School Commission decided that the language of instruction in the school would be French. It was allowed that English could be taken as a second language. However, the non-French demanded that their children be taught in English and hence the ensuing conflict. The St. Leonard dispute embodies the essential elements of the whole problem. On the one hand there isthe large group of immigrants to Quebec who represent a significant factor in reducing the proportion of the Quebec population that is French. On the other, English, is the means to get ahead in business and aspiring immigrants chose it. As both these factors combine, the pressure to Anglicize the French community in Quebec escalates. The trend for the pressure from this direction to increase is shown by the following statistics for Montreal: Immigrants in Immigrants in Years .French Classes English Classes 1938-39 1947-48 1955-56 1962-63

English:

language

of work

Over 70 percent of the businesses in Quebec now require English as their-everyday language of operation and administration. This, in a situation where 76 percent of the workforce has French as its first language. Hence, 80 percent of the Francophones in the workforce are required to speak English at work.

R iny L tion Qu in ‘ arf

The typical corporate structure has an upper level of directors and executives who are unilingual English. The lower level supervisors are bilingual. And, the work-force is French. Union contracts are bilingual, but memos and instruction manuals are usually in English.

Salaries

The class reality for Francophones in Quebec is no more vividly demonstrated than in the area of incomes. While comprising over 80 percent of the population as a whole, the French receive lower incomes as a group than all but the Italian immigrants and the Indians. ‘..

The income figures quoted above are of course linked to occupational categories and to the vertical structure of the corporations.

n Quebec, outside of Montreal, the Anglophones com;e only 7 percent of the workforce, but they occupy 80 cent of the high level administrative positions, Within ntfeal, the Anglophones comprise 40 percent of the +5ck but occupy 83 percent of the top level pos’itions. 1 in addition, of those in these positions, 20 percent are igual and 80 percent are unilingual English. This is the Crete meaning of the statement that “English is the 3ns to get ahead in business.” Its meaning at the other of the scale was revealed in a recent survey in which pnrcent of French-speaking university graduates felt : they would not be able to find the employment they ght. compared to 17 percent of the English. And, 36 :ent of the french graduates feared that they would be able to find a job commensurate with their educa, compared to 9 percent of the-English.

itionalism

of the right

-he right-wing political response is manifested in groups h as the St. Jean Baptiste Society (SJBS), the Ligue lr L’lntegracion Scholaire (LIS) and, in the final analyRene Lesvesque and the Pat-tie Quebecois (PO). -heir position is that of advocating independence and/or ingualism for Quebec, while maintaining the existing ial and’ economic relationships of the capitalist sysI, (thpugh possibly with French leadership). Their politiprogram presses for self-determination for the nation, ssing the danger of cultural genocide for Quebec un; independence or unilingualism is achieved. [he ideological perspective of the SJBS, LIS and PQ -s to disguise the conflicts and antagonisms within French community itself. The French-Canadian nation Iresented as homogeneous. Conflicts of an internal 1 are denied or projected to be unimportant. Ethnic darity is said to bnite social strata which would othere be‘in conflict. The social base of these groups tends to be among the ty bourgeoisie such as lawyers, notaries, teachers, ang the technocrats and some intellectuals. All of these Ild gain power in an independent Quebec by replacing Anglo-Canadian elite with themselves, while leaving lower classes in much the same position.

tk.Qnalism

of the left

‘he left-wing political response, aside from scattered is manifested in the Front Liberient ‘groupuscules’, In Populaire (FLP). -he position of the FLP is that there are two levels of ression in Quebec society: the national oppression of Quebec& by Anglo-Canadian and American colonial; and, the economic exploitation of the working class English and French capitalists. They see these ecorlomic tionships as underlying the forces of Anglicization and ural genocide. Unilingualism and independence are I partial solutions. he FLP generally aims at ,changing both .levels of OP;sion, looking for independence and socialism to put trol into the hands of the French-Canadian working S.

he social base of the FLP tends to be among the more

radical students and some of the younger wdrkers. However, it has much smaller support than the PQ and Levesque.

Scenario Despite several mass mobilizations led by the FLY, and despite some of the hysteria and histrionics on the part of the Anglo-Canadian elite in Montreal, an independent and unilingual Quebec are not necessarily incompatible with a capitalist Quebec. ’ The PQ is advocating moderate language reforms, stopping short of unilingualism in the naine of respecting the rights of minorities. American investors don’t live in Quebec and consequently are not directly involved in the language dispute. The Americans couldn’t accept immediate and complete unilingualism because the‘ir economic control is presently connected to and supported by the AngloCanadian elite and they have to take this into account in the short run. However, in the long run, should the AngloCanadian bourgeoisie be gradually shifted aside with the aid of a new aspiring French-Canadian elite, and American control be consolidated in the framework of an independent Quebec, French unilingualism could be acceptable. For the Anglo-Canadian capitalists on the other hand, it is an entirely different matter. What is at stake for them is the survival of the English-Canadian commur5ty in Quebec and its position of privilege. Consequently, they are resisting even the most moderate reforms in language policy. In this situation, the possibility of a PO government being elected, achievement of independence for Quebec and improvement of the position of the French language are only possible through the support of American capital. Cdnsequently, Levesque must prove to the Americans that investment conditions would be more favourable in an independent Quebec than in the present system with its built-in in conflict and instability. > The elements among the French who support Levesque would also, of course, have to adapt their plans for their own economic advancement to fit within the parameters dictated by American interests. The essential political precondition for Levesque to be able to make such a deal is the winning of broad-based support among the FrenchCahadian petty-bourgeoisie, technocrats and working class for a nationalist independence movement under PQ leadershiip. The Americans want to avoid the economic instability w.hich would be deepened by the growing opposition between the old line federalist parties (Liberals and Union Nationale) and a widely supported nationalist movement. If these conditions were present the Americans could conceivably abandon the Anglo-Canadians to their own fate and give the green light for independence. The old line federalists oi the Liberal Party and the Unibn Nationale are, of course, opposed to both independence and unilingualism. The+ are tied to Anglo-Canadian capital and link together the traditional French-Canadiqn pettybourgeoisie and the few large French capitalists whose interests are tied to those of the English.

Conclusion The main point in all of the above is that the present conflicts and potential political developments in Quebec politics are rooted in the capitalist-colonial structure of Quebec society. The analysis will be borne out or disproven by future political practice and event&. What the scenario omits is an autonomous political development of the Quebec working class. If the analytical point about the struc_ ture of Quebec society is valid, then the only realistic and adequate solution to the problem of Anglicization is implementation of unilingualism and the winning of socialism. Such an option is slim and risky, but it is an impera-. tive.

A rare opportunity to view some very unique exercises in the film medium was offered to film freaks in The kinetic art series presented by the Fine Arts Group. The third and, unfortunately, final installment was shown on friday evening. The collection of nine shorts wasn’t as good as the first program of the series, but even the poorer ones were much better than the usual film fare on this campus. Wersai//es, made by Albert Lamorisse, was out of place in comparison to the other features. The film was a brief adoration of the castle at Versailles, but even with the use of helicopter shots, the film was simply a well-made travalogue. Another french film Gawette showed the antics of two dwarves at a recital. If there was a point to it, I missed it. The rest of. the films were excellent. B/ack, white and red, a german film, used woodcut animation to portray the rise Nazism in Germany. x Afteiward, another german film, was a very powerful graphic condemnation of the destructiveness of war.

The use of animation and live action provides an eternal pictorial comment of the madness of war. The film ‘Marie et ie cure was a powerful attack on celibacy and the church. This austere black and white film relates the story of an ascetic priest who seduces a local girl. The priest then orders the girl, Marie, to leave and scalds his hand as a form of penance. When he discovers she is pregnant, he goes on an orgy of prayer and selfdenial in an attempt to free himself of the pleasures of the earth.

From an interview with Mita Scott He& ges, drama instructor in the dep&tment of English.

“Comedy tomorrow, Tragedy tonight” paraphrases the opening line of a modern musical comedy. In addition, it serves as the perfect example of the repertory theatre idea which is being put into effect this week. Through the cooperative effort of the Blackfriars of the department of English and the Creative Arts Board, Shakespeare’s Hsmktt Tom Stoppard’s Lozencrantz and The

version of Shakespeare’s play will be presented during the next three weeks. The University of Waterloo will be the first drama producing group to present this three-faceted view of Hamlet, using the same actors in the three productions. Mita Scott, director of ham/et, refuses to respond to such questions as “What are you going to do to Hamlet to make it relevant?” She answers:” I’m not. I can’t believe in doing things to Shakespeare. As a/director, I must find what is important or meaningful in the play and try to bring that out. And the tyranny of that word-‘relevance’-drives me to protest. “A more important question is what are we going to do to make ourselves relevant. When I try to pick that man’s mind, I wind up frustrated, desperate, and totally committed to jumping into it again. “This man Shakespeare has created this man Hamlet. And the man Hamlet, in the three hours we spend with him, will to a great degree create us. In effect Hamlet will make us relevant. “I believe very strongly that really powerful threatre not only influences and is influenced by its time, but that it allows itself to extend into the future and take into account the past.” “This total project is to me, and to many others in theatre including Charles Marowitz, the author -of the collage version, the most useful and exciting theatrical experience the university can furnish. A University Theatre situation is unique in that it furnishes an opportunity for amateurs to explore new material without having to be a slave to the boxoffice.” Miss Scott pointed out that one of the major problems in university theatre work occurs in trying to secure production rights for new plays. Although “Rosencrantz and Guilden-

stern Are Dead” was first produced as long ago as 1966, it has not been available until now for production by amateur groups. “This is the first non-professional production of it and it is only through the enthusiasm of Charles Marowitz and Tom Stoppard that we were able to secure the rights,” she stated. The director of “R and G’T, as it has come to be called by the company, is Maurice Evans who is director-in-residence for the Creative arts board. He has called “R and G” an intriguing play, a free exercise of theatrical imagination and intelligence, full of the unexpected. It starts as a literary burlesque and blossoms into the meaning of existence. He notes that “in it the characters from ham/et take on a new dimension as seen by Rosencrantz and Guilden- , stern. The comparison of the two plays spells the difference between what one’s life looks like and what it really is. The uncertainty of the purpose of the two leading characters and the irrelevance to Claudius’ court to their own lives grasps the futility of individual existence compared to the sweep of history. The two productions in repertory this week and next will both make use of the same setting and costumes, giving the impression to the audience of “I have been here before.” The setting, designed ’ by Karl Wylie, director of the Humanities theatre, is the largest and most ambitious setting yet for a University of Waterloo production. There are over thirty actors involved in the productions, requiring nearly twice that many costumes. Approximately fifty people have been involved in the backstage work, making properties and building sets and costumes. Costumes were designed by Mita Scott and the construction of them is being supervised by David Ditner. Ken Quanz heads the set construction crew, and Marg ie Ridzon and Tish Walsh are in charge of properties. Special discounts, are available to those wishing to purchase tickets, for theseries. Tickets are available in the Creative arts boxoffice and at the Humanities theatre on the evenings of performance. “Hamlet opens the series on Wednesday, february 25 and Rosencrantz opens on thursday, february 26. The two shows will alternate through the final performance on Saturday evening March 7. The collage version of Hamlet will run march 12-14.

.really powerful theater not only influences and is influenced by its time, b’u; extends into the future and takes account of the past.” ‘1’11 drink to that!” says Guildenstern, to be played by Mike Marshall.

Many people have suggested that the theatre groups at the university should put on modern, fashionable numbers like Hair or Oh! Calcutta. Some have never experienced a production here because they feel that those offered are either too “classical” or too obscure. They point out that the drama enthusiasts could provide a convenient and inexpensive opportunity for UOW students to see currently popular theater. Unfortunately, the rights to perform a show which has caught the public’s fancy are much too expensive for an amateur group which cannot count on large ticket sales. However, this financial fact of life-the inability of university theater to present not extravaganza productions-may really be a limiting factor but instead, one that allows more freedom. Since university theater does not have to depend on large box-office receipts to pay for .a production, it is unnecessary to consider mass appeal when choosing a project. Our theater has the unique opportunity to offer an alternative to the mindless entertainment promoted continually and available anytime at local “avant-garde” stages, or at local movie-houses, or from notoriously incapacitating televis-

ion. It is doing its best to give life to ’ plays which revolve about ideas fascinating to humans who occasionally think. Although the drama here is not de- ’ signed to commerciallyexploit our autonomous drives, don’t feel that it has to be dry. The playwright, examining human conflicts, will give sadness or joy, always laughter (sometimes bitter laugh-2 ter). Theater is entertainment, but fortunately there are playwrights with an exceptional understanding of the universe they live in, with a mastery of dramatic form and technique. They are able to endow us with a kind of x-ray vision that sees through man’s outer shell to the core within. No matter when they lived, they wrote about the men who walk today. Jorge Luis Borges, speaking of literature, has said that what matters most is not ideas as such, but their resonances and suggestions. He is right. The ideas imbedded in a dusty script are UnimpOrtant. The ideas of those watching a living script, the thoughts inspired by the ideas of the play, the ideas which reflect and re-reflect the original, these are the important ones. The university theater is offering plays with ideas. Any takers? tuesday

When the Minister of Indian Affairs, Jean Chretien,?abled his rhetorically liberal but deliberately ambiguous white paper on Indian policy last June, he could not have realized the extent to which he had added to a growing sense of self-consciousness and political leadership among Canadian Indians. Indians were to be “persuaded” that the path outlined in his paper would fead them to “a fuller and richer life”. In his paternal beneficence Mr. Chretien certainly was not prepared for the type of opposition he now faces in the person of Harold Cardinal. A young, highly articulate, and very able politician, Cardinal is the president of the Indian Association of Alberta, and a member of the board ‘of the National Indian Brotherhood. In light of his position, Cardinal’s recently published book, significantly titled. The Unjust Society: the tragedy of Canada’s Indians, is not the isolated protest of one unhappy Indian. The fact that the government attempted to withold publication of his book late last year clearly illustrates the offjcial fear of Cardinal’s powers of “persuasion”. Currently Cardinal is on a speaking tour of- Canada for the purpose of publicizing the book, an uniquivocal indictment of the oppressive policy which has traditionally characterized government treatment of Indians. Naturfly his emphasis is on the latest evidence of that tradition, the government white paper on Indian policy. By March, Cardinal hopes to present the government with a ratified version of the Indian response to the white paper, something which he ominously calls a Red Paper At the moment, contents of the paper are secret; but considering the unanimous rejection of government policy by the National ‘Indian Brotherhood, and the tone and content of Cardinal’s Unjust Society, it is’ a sure bet that the Red Paper will further fan the flames of indian discontent, in Canada.

The cultural annihilation of Canada3 .Indians by Peter Lang ch evro n staff In the Cardinal’s Unjust Society analyses the history of Canada’s Indians as “a shameful chronicle of the White Man’s disinterest, his deliberate trampling of Indian rights historand his repeated betrayal of our trust.” Yet perhaps Ically, he hopes that his book will inspire a radical change in those attitudes which have repeatedly denied the Indian his rights in this society: Hopefully this book will open the eyes of the Canadian public to its shame, and cut through bureaucratic doubletalk to show what it means to be an Indian in Canada. ,However ahistorical his hopes may be, Cardinal , does present a reality which will predictably stir liberal guilt and definitely add to an already heightened l.ndian self-awareness. He makes it clear that Indians do not want the White man’s pity or philanthropy which denies his right to be a man. What the Indian wants and now demands is his right to decide his own future, a right denied to him since the inception of the Indian Act in 1876. Cardinal draws attention to the present manifestation of the policy by citing Mr. Trudeau’s speech made last year in which the Prime Minister stated, in Vancouver, “The federal government is not prepared to guarantee \he aboriginal rights of Canada’s Indians.” Cardinal feels that at this point in a history deliberately aimed at his cultural annihilation the Indian is at the fork in the road. Even if it were the wish of Indians to be assimilated into Canadian society they are economically politically and educationally unprepared for the socalled equal status that our government has so graciously offered them in the white paper. A basic insight into the history which has led to the present Indian reality must be seen in the government approach to treaties. Referring to a statement on treaties issued in December 1968 by the Manitoba Indian Brotherhood, Cardinal says that Indians were always at an overwhelming disadvantage when “negotiating” Treaties with the government. Most often the Indian could not understand the language of negotiation, and even when he could, had no legal counsel to make sure that the treaties he signed contained the points to which he had verbally agreed. Those officials who represent the government at the signing of treaties allowed little or no time to which virtually left the i explain and bargain terms, Indian with no choice but to sign the treaty immediately if he wanted to preserve any of his rights at all. In fact, the practice that forced a chief to negotiate without the consultation of his people was completely alien to his political tradition. Finally, it is doubtful ’ that the Indians understood the concept which bound their heirs to an eternal- agreement based upon land values. Indians, particularly those who hunted, valued not land but the animals that sustained them in a nomadic life. According to the Indian understanding of treaties he was guaranteed the right to hunt game perpetually, so why should he be concerned that the , land over which his game roamed belonged* to someone else? ’ Typical of these treaties which in reality guaranteed nothing to the Indian is the rhetoric of treaty eight: And her Majesty the Queen hereby agrees with the said Indians that they shall have the right to pursue their usual vocations of hunting, trapping and fishing

throughout, the tract surrendered as hereafore described, subject to such regulations as may from time to time be made by the Government of the country, acting under the authority of her Majesty, and saving and excepting such tracts as may be required or taken out from time to tim’e for settlement, mining, lumbering, trading or other purposes. It is obvious that while the Indian could not have understood the implications of his actions in signing treaties, the government knew exactly what it was doing. Treaties were not a guarantee of aboriginal rights but a legal justification of the government for settlement and the extraction of valuable natural r resources. Yet, says Cardinal, as fraudulent as these treaties are, they do symbolize the commitment of government to the Indian people. Treaties do recognize Indians, however questionably, as a sovereign people. As such, treaties are‘ the legal basis for present Indian demands to have their rights recognized and renegotiated. But! Cardinal notes that the government was not content to wait until the Indian National Committee had reached and documented treaty rights before Chretien tabled his policy. Quite significantly, Chretien’s paper advocated two points which when enacted will permanently prevent the recognition of treaty rights: 0 a transfer of federal responsibility to the provincial governments who never did sign treaties with Indian woman to prove that her child is the legitimate offby the conditions described therein, and 0 the appointment by the government of a claims commissioner (who has already been appointed at this date) who, “in his judgement”, will decide which Indian claims are negotiable. Concluding his chapter on treaties Cardinal says, “To regain the confidence of our people, the government of Canada must reinstate our treaties. Upon this foundation and upon this foundation only, the government of Canada still can embark on an honourable undertaking with the Indian peoples”. In view of the appointment of the claims commissioner and Trudeau’s statement on treaties, it would seem that the government has made up its mind. Cardinal is hardly unaware of this when he says that the government’s aims are so obviously geared to doing away with our reserves that every program offered by the government becomes suspect. When Cardinal verbalizes Indian proposals he does so with the awareness that they will be aborted, but in doing so he effectively cuts through the rhetoric and exposes the true intent of government Indian policy. The piece of legislation which completely emasculated the Indian, in terms of ability to determine his own political and economic future, was the Indian Act. Subject to a few amendments since 1876, the act is still in effect today. By the Indian Act a minister of Indian affairs through his person and through his agents rules virtually as a dictator over a completely arbitrary and utterly. powerless Indian local government. Furthermore, the finances of the reserves are almost exclusively under the control of the Department of Indian Affairs. Cardinal points out that the escape from that tyranny is enfranchisement:....whereby the Indian is expected to deny his birth right, declare himself no longer as Indian and leave the reserve, \

divesting himself of all his interest in his land and people. This course of action is one that any human being would hestitate to take. To the Indian it means that he must leave his home, the community of his family, to which neither he nor his wife nor his children may ever return. All this to enter a society which he gene-rally finds prejudiced against him.’ The’ Indian Act even goes to the inhuman limit of requiring any indians, and thus have no legal responsibility to abide spring of an Indian father so that her child can claim “full Indian rights” on the reserve. The characteristic feature of Indian education, says Cardinal, is the fact that all decision-making has been done without Indian consultation. Originally, it was the practice of government to leave education to the missionaries whom Cardinal condemns in no uncertain terms. In his analysis missionaries came only to preach and to convert, and cared little even when they understood that their way disrupted Indian society. Their presence destroyed the cultural and spiritual traditions of the Indian, and became a divisive factor among Indians themselves. Frequently they provided the government with the opportunity to more easily direct a divided people. Working in league with government, the missionary used goyernment to enact legislation against such native practises as the sundance and the potlatch; and furthermore, to insure Indian attendance at residential schools. Since ‘the 1950’s the government has assumed responsibility for Indian education but their attitude towards Indian decision-making in education remains ’ the same as that of the missionaries. Cardinal proposes: _

’

If education is to be one means of breaking the shackles of Indian poverty, an entirely new pattern of authority must be initiated, and education must be redefined to make it relevant to the needs and culture of the Indians of Canada. Any further federal-provincial master agreements in education, or anything relating to Indian education, from now on must be arrived at with total Indian involvement. Of the federal paper on Indian policy suffice it to say that ,Cardinal considers it the government’s plan to finally and formally repudiate Indian treaties. To read Cardinal’s book and to follow his political actions is to understand that the Canadian Indian no longer has any faith in the white government in Ottawa, and is now issuing a warning that unless there is a radical change in attitudes and actions, the Indian has no choice but to actively rebel against those who oppress words of Cardinal must strike him. The following many parallels in the contemporary struggle for human liberation. We will not trust the government witti our futures any longer. Now* they must listen to and learn from us...The young generation that is even now flexing its muscles does not have the patience that older leaders have shown...But driven by frustration -and hostilhy. they will organize not to create a better society but to destroy your society which they feel is destroying our people. This is the fork in the road that the government and non-Indian society must recognize.

A’s, B’s, C”s and the rest What is the final argument which all professors fall back on when they are asked to justify the giving of grades? 2 “The registrars office requires that we submit a mark”, is the way that most of them put it. But all to often they add, ‘,‘so this is the method we will use to determine that mark.” The particular method which is used cannot be justified on the basis of the need for a mark. In fact, the particular method varies to a considerable degree from prof to Prof. It is uncommon but not unknown for some profs to recognize the dehumanizing and competitive nature of marks and therefore choose a method of marking which fulfills the function but is only a formality. Don Gordon, a political science Prof. used a barter system of determining marks. That is, you went up to his office and bargained for a mark. All that he asked was that you have just reasons for getting the mark you asked for. One student got a B. plus because he needed it to bring up his average. Leo Johnston, a prof in history, offers a large variety of methods for obtaining a final mark. You can do one large essay on a topic which interests you and get full credit for two half courses in Canadian history.‘ You can even work on a group project and all group members take the same final mark. It is important to note that professors often use a facade of these methods by insisting that all students be marked on the same basis. If decisions are

rnade on this basis it is usually quite simple for the prof to convince a majority of the class that ‘his’ method is the best one for the class as a whole. The most common way that professors fill the requirement of the registrar’s office is through exams or exams plus a small mark ‘for course assignments or essays. But the professor not only sets the exams and essays he also marks them. And if you appeal a mark in most departments, ‘I another professor will read your paper or exam answers. It is university policy not to return exams. It is also quite common for professors to set extremely severe requirements for grades. This is usually justified by the argument that ‘academic excellence’ only comes through ‘hard work’. However, if you back this argument into a corner the prof will usually - beg off saying, “the registrar requires that I send in a mark”, and consider the discussion ended. One professor who uses these arguements is Wynn Rees, a history prof at Renison college. The ‘requirements’ which he sets are a seminar, a written report on the seminar. (which amounts to a minor essay), a full research paper, and a final exam which he claims, “just to be fair will be one half on the content of the lectures and one half on the content of four books. It seems to be about time that students have some control over the process of marking. Maybe even try to find what is the purpose of marking.
