New council sets policy, starts next year’s budget Grads students and budgets, two equally scintillating topics, were the prime subjects at Wednesday nights action-packed student council meeting. The grad meeting held earlier in the day proved a minor stumbling point in the planned smooth running of the council meeting. Several grads at the council meeting pointed out that although the grad meeting voted to pull out of the federation, the meeting was not a legal or binding one. David Rees-Thomas, grad chemistry requested that council leave grad students the choice of belonging either to the grad union or the federation or both, if the grads do formally leave the federation. President Larry Burko replied that a larger fee, in the neighborhood of $40 would be required for non-member memberships because of the extra bureaucracy and expense incurred by such a set up. Rees-Thomas felt that if a student were to belong to both a grad union and the federation he would already be paying enough extra through double funding of someevents. “Don’t make it too hard for a grad to get into the federation, if the grads secede” Rees-Thomas pleaded. “It will be hard, but not too hard” Burko replied. Past federation president Tom Patterson urged council to consider whether they wanted the grads in the federation or not, instead of dealing with the matter from an expediency standpoint. When it was suggested the grads merely be given the voluntary option of staying in or not, Patterson pointed out that any exception made for grads should be available to all other federation members. Nick Kouwen, grad mech eng, argued in favor of a special status for the grads. He felt that some parts of the federation such as Radio Waterloo and the Chevron benefitted grads. However he felt that things like federation dances that didn’t have bars were of little use to most grads. Communications chairman Jerry Cook

felt if grads needed special services, they could be adequately met under present federation set-up, much as international night of interest primarily to grads, is presently given money. A previous motion, requesting senate to ignore any grad request for withdrawal from the federation, was tabled and replaced by a general policy statement whereby the federation opposed withdrawal by any group. The second major part of the meeting consisted of consideration of the new budget. Various budgets were altered this year to meet the new priorities of the federation. Other than minor personal-interest bickering, little opposition to the new funding was presented. There are several major differences between this year’s budget and last year’s, which reflect council’s move to become a service-oriented organization. The boards of education and external relations have been combined into one board, with a drastically reduced budget. Last year, the combined total for the two boards was over 34,000 dollars. This year, only 4,827 dollars has been allocated. Board of Publications has been cut from 134,000 dollars to 96,000 dollars, 14,000 dollars coming off the Chevron budget. The budget gives 7,000 dollars more to the board of student activities this year, but the federation will subsidize the BSA for over 77,000 dollars of its 130,000 budget. Last year, it received a subsidy of only 8,529 dollars. Creative arts received approximately the same amount as last year, but as council moves to phase the board out of the federation, it will only get a subsidy of 5,000 dollars, compared with last year’s 23,000. The remainder will be made up by the administration. In other business, Burko had himself appointed chairman of BSA, and several other irrelevant motions were expediently dealt with

PPandP has hired several gremlins, leprachons and elves to design the new tunnel between food services and the humanities building as evidenced by this optical illusion created to wreak havoc on the minds and bodies of the poor innocent students trying to get from one level to another.

Too unstructured

A brief proposing the establishment of a community of social concern at Waterloo Lutheran University, an educational experiment similar to Uniwat’s integrated studies program, was “sent to committee” by the WLU senate monday. The proposal had been approved by Lutheran’s faculty association and passed by them to the senate for final approval. The new approach to education, supported by a number of students and faculty members, was termed by a member of WLU’s senate as “a hippie thing, the kind of thing that they’d do at Antioch. ” The head of religious studies and culture department Norman Wagner said that the proposal sounded similar to something they wanted to do in his department, and didn’t see why this could not be done. He proposed to set up “open-ended” courses, feeling that such a structure would give students enough freedom to pursue their studies.

community

Aarne Siirala, religious studies was also opposed to the plan on t&e basis that it should proceed -’within the existing structure in open-ended courses, rather than in the much broader scope envisaged by the supporters of the plan. History prof Chap Morrison, spokesman for the group at the senate meeting, said that even within an open-ended course there would be some element of coercion. “In an open-ended course within the system some form of grading would have to be implemented to relate the course to the existing structure. “We would like to remove this element of fear from our academic activity and replace it with a high degree of intellectual curiosity. “If we set up open-ended courses with no element of coercion he continued, “many students would register in it simply to obtain an easy credit. Our proposal would overcome this by a process of petitioning for credit from departments concerned

prof,

with the field in which a student works. ” The response to this concept was that departments cannot be expected to give credits when they do not know in advance what a student is going to do and have no control over the methods by which a student learns. \ The present academic structure at WLU requires control over how a student works, and (see editorial

on page 3 1)

would have difficulty in evaluating work done outside of its area of control. Morrison replied to this objection with an analogy. “If the established way to grow an apple tree is to dig up the earth around it and water it three times a day, that’s fine. We’d like to be free to try alternate ways of doing it, probably by watering it only once a day, maybe singing to it, or loving it, any way we see fit. All we want from the departments is that they taste the fruit of the tree and comment on that, not how we grew it.” “We would like to discover for

of social

concern

ourselves whether or not it is necessary to water the tree three times a day to produce edible fruit. T’ Political science chairman T. Miljan scoffed at the analogy of the apple tree, and ridiculed the idea of an alternate method of growing fruit. He seemed to assume that since the failure of this alternate method of education was predictable, the experiment should not be attempted. Another point of opposition to the plan was based on the fear that departments would be unduly pressured by petitioning students for credits, and that it would be very difficult for a committee to refuse to grant credits to students who did not merit them. Morrison replied to this objection by saying that while no .te*cher J&s to fail students, this- pressure does exist within the present system. “Under the petitioning process in the proposal,” he said, “a student, would receive credit for his work if the committee felt he merited one. If they felt that

his efforts didn’t merit a credit he would not receive a ‘fail’, but be told to go back and do some more work on his project.” Administration president Frank Peters exhibited considerably less enthusiasm for the project in the senate meeting than at the inception of the program. This undoubtedly contributed to the negatibe decision handed down by the senate. Since the senate is not scheduled to meet again before October, the implementation of the program this fall appears to be an impossibility. The committee set up by the senate to study the proposal is composed of five members. Three of them are known to be opposed to the plan in its existing form, and expressed this opposition at the meeting. The other two members are thought to be less opposed to the plan. The students and faculty members who drew up the proposal feel at present that the community of social concern should carry on, probably as an extracurricular activity.

indicated that sufficient applications for such a residence justify the setting up of two of the floors of village II as integrated residence. Of the responses to the questionnaire, over 60 percent favored the establishment of such a residence. The results of the questionnaire as well as a brief are now in Edydt’s hand for consideration. At present Renfrew House at Carlton is integrated and the presidential advisory committee at McMaster has recommended that their McKay Hall be integrated.

protests

PORT - OF SPAIN, Trinidad (CUPI)-More than 8,000 police and army personnel were mustered over the weekend here in anticipation of continued demonstrations in support of black students on trial in connection with the destruction of the Sir George Williams computer. At the same time, leaders of the national joint action committeeA cordinating group for demonstrations here last week-charged that the trial of the 10 studentswhich went to jury deliberations Monday was “only an extension ‘of the oppression” exercised for years by Canada in the Carribbean. If it didn’t stop, they warned, the destruction of Canadian property would be far worse and Canadian people would suffer too. Weekend police leaves were cancelled Saturday on the island and the 5000-man police force was placed on standby alert. Elements

GSU wants

grads

The general meeting of the grad student union on Wednesday passed a motion to withdraw the members of the GSU from the Federation of Students. The original motion which was drawn up by Derek Whitworth, president of GSU, was to transfer the federation fee into the hands of GSU, but this was later divided into two motions; whether or not to set a compulsory GSU fee. Whitworth outlined in his presidents report that he want’s to set up a grad house someplace in Waterloo which would have a licenced bar. This would require substantially more funds than the GSU now has. International Student The Association has recently lost its Rotary sponsored ISA house and is a major lobbying force behind the present move. The general

of the 1500-man special service police were called to duty at Chagauramas, 15 miles west of Port of Spain, and 1500 members of the British-trained Trinidad regiment were mustered. The home of the Canadian high commissioner to Trinidad, Gerald Rau, was placed under 24-hour police guard: armed guards are also patrolling Air Canada installations at the international, airport here. Mean while, Trinidad’s industry and commerce minister, John Halloran, said the demonstrations of the past week-aimed primarily at Canadian banks which control 60 percent of the local money market-were engineered by communist agitators trained and paid by the government of Cuba. According to Halloran, the Montreal trials were ‘red herrings put forward by revolutionaries whose real aim is the overthrow of the national movement

out of F of S feeling of the general meeting, however, was not that they wanted a grad house but that they had little say about where their 22 dollars were being spent. Withdrawal was a response to that feeling. Debate became so heated during the first motion that one student disconnected the microphone when Adrian Dlark, grad biology, attempted to dissuade members from favoring withdrawal. The motion to withdraw was passed 70-30. The meeting then dragged on into what the grads should then do with their 22 dollars. After considerable discussion, confusion, amendments etc., it was passed 48-44 that the GSU collect all subsequent compulsory activities fees.

government of prime minister Eric Williams. In Montreal judge Kenneth Mackay made his decision Monday concurring with a motion by attorneys representing the 10 West Indian defendants in the current trial: that the defendants be considered as a group on each of five separate conspiracy charges. . Mackay then instructed the llman, all white jury to return a decision on the first chargeconspiracy to destroy computers in the Sir George Williams University computer center on February 11, 1969-considering the 10 defendants as a unit. Originally, Mackay had intended that jurors return 50 separate verdicts-one for each defendant on each charge. Earlier, he did not object when special prosecutor Fred Kaufman told jurors the crown need not prove that “two or more parties came together and agreed, ’ ’ in order to prove a conspiracy existed. Later, the jury will consider the other charges: conspiracy to interfere with lawful use of the

computer center, conspiracy to commit arson, conspiracy’ to interfere with lawful use of the faculty lounge and conspiracy to destroy cafeteria furniture. The 10 black natives of Trinidad and Tobago are the first of 87 adults charged in connection with the 1969 incident. Fire broke out in the SGWU computer center after the Montreal riot squad charged a student sit-in at the building. The students were protesting the university’s faulty handling of charges of racism levelled at a SGWU professor. Canadian racism and imperialism have been the focus of protests in the West Indies since february 26 when demonstrators stormed a Royal Bank of Canada building at Port of Spain. Since then, street parades of up to 10,000 persons have demonstrated against the trial of the West Indians at Montreal, Monday the tension had spread to Montreal where the city police riot squad was posted outside the courtroom in anticipation of a protest.

food and bottles, and is also expected to donate a certain amount of time as a volunteer or in cleaning. The building has been donated by the university and the only expenses are salaries for two permanent staff members and a diaper service. This keeps fees down to $30 per month for each child. The Waterloo group hopes to be able to handle 20 to 30 babies. Initially however, older children could be accepted and transferred to the nursery school planned for the fall. The staff will consist of two salaried personnel plus parents and other volunteers. A room in the campus center is being considered as a possible location but has not yet received official sanction. Lucille Panabaker, Kitchener-Waterloo day nursery supervisor suggested that as soon as the site was definite an initial application could be made. It would be granted on the approval of the fire and health departments. She also stated than an official baby care nurse is required by the day care act and perha.ps such a trained person could be found in the community. There were several suggestions on how to collect donations. Equipment needed includes a fridge, a stove, beds, high chairs, a high table for changing and toys. It was hoped the baby care center would complement the university wives’ project. When the babies passed the toddler stage they could then proceed to the nursery school. Buresh and Kennedy want to be able to open the center as soon as possible in order to have some sort of operation before the summer term begins. If any one is interested in helping or enrolling their child, or has any furniture donations, they can phone 5766666 or 578-0493.

‘Sstrut ture

A heated struggle over the existing autocratic structure of integrated studies developed last week out of an IS general meeting held to discuss the problems of admission and promotion procedures. . At the conception of IS it was felt that a thorough examination, upon request of a degree, was the best unstructured method of evaluation.. However a report presented at the meeting suggested the adoption of a credit system in which any number of credits could be assigned for each project completed until enough credits were accumulated to buy a degree. Opposition to this system stemmed from the fact that this produced a fragmented education 0 \ much like that in regular degree programs. This form of structure made no attempt to tie together the overall learning process and try to relate it to reality. The main discussion of the meeting centered around the subject of IS admissions. Keith Rowe, one of the resource assistants, said that admissions wouldn’t necessarily be closed but people in IS would probably have to justify their presence. IS student Andy Tamas challenged Rowe for 1 assuming an elitist position and 0 an unjustified stand in restricting ,admission of students because it was his personal belief that they weren’t benefitting from the program. Tamas suigested that if it was necessary Glimit the size of IS the people in IS could make the decision collectively. Rowe replied, “I have been tying to find out what everybody has done and I found information at a minimum, therefore I decided that progress reports

debated’ -

must be submitted so that we can review who will be readmitted.” When asked who “we” referred to, he replied, “the other two resource assistants and myself’ ’ . Rowe was immediately confronted on two points: why must people be evaluated in a supposedly unstructured learning environment and why must decisions be made by a self appointed authority instead of the people that it concerns. His simple reply was “I have and will have to act very autocratically. ” In the jeering which followed he was warned that he wouldn’t get away with it, to which he had another simple reply, “You can bet I will! ” Rowe rationalized his action by pointing out that integrated

studies is an academic program and as such it must have a report for senate since many embarrassing questions are being asked. Rowe said he believed that IS was his responsibility and that he must insist that students produce and show proof of achievement . The struggle was unique in that it revolved around the structure of IS not the content. Rowe said that a complaint forwarded by a student on content was va1iU but that someone must take make decisions responsibility, and act for the students. On the other side, it was realized by those present that only through control of structure and thus the decision making process could change really be effected and content controlled.

(CUP)-Federal KINGSTON finance minister Edgar Benson said Saturday that he expects to rake in an extra five million dollars from students under his new tax proposals. Student fellowships, scholarships, bursaries and research grants, tax-exempt under current legislation, would be taxed in Benson’s under proposals white paper on tax reform which was tabled in the commons last fall. Benson was speaking at a symposium on the tax paper held at Queen’s University. Benson justified the tax increases by arguing that some students who get scholarships,

bursaries and grants also have “substantial” outside income and should pay taxes on their total incomes ‘ ‘like other Canadians. ” The finance minister also rejected a suggestion that students be allowed to deduct interest on student-aid loans. It was too hard to determine whether the money was really borrowed to finance education or to invest in the stock market, _he said..Benson said certain “reasonable expenses-such as tuition, books, reasonable travel expenses, and if it’s necessary to hire an assistant to do research work”would remain tax-deductible expenses for students.

Economics Several students from Bob Needham’s economics 101 course are asking that other students and professors turn out to debate the agricultural issue with Don Miller, a farm union organizer . Miller will be speaking monday in Al 116 at 11 am. The students who took a first year economics last term, were extremely dissatisfied with the approach which was taken toward the agricultural sector of the economy. The current crisis in agriculture was used as an example of the effects of government policy, regulations and subsidies on the private sector of the economy in the section taught by Needham. The agricultural crisis was set up as a term problem and 50 percent of the final exam was based on this question. The correct answer to the question, according to Needham, was to prove that government subsidies would slow down the process of readjustment necessary to solve the problems of agriculture. The policy Needham developed out of this analysis was to cut out government regulations and subsidies to agriculture and let competition take its course. This would mean bankruptcy for a. large group of small farmers, centralization of agricultural production under the developing institutions of agribusiness and a considerable amount

707 consuIts of migration to urban centers by the rural poor. Needham feels that all these things are necessary. Several students in his class disagree with this policy. The most obvious fault of the policy is the disdain it shows for the people who will have to suffer through the readjustment. This policy has so many other faults, the students feel it is absurd. The main points they raise are : l the analysis makes no attempt to deal with the causes of the present crisis. It advocates a return to free competition between farmers, although the existing crisis is a result of farmers competing with each other and therefore not being able to deal with monopoly price controls in both the farm supply sector (suppliers of machinery, fertilizer, seed grain, etc.) and the farm marketing sector (those industries which buy the farm produce) ;

unionist l the analysis does not consider the fact that the poor sector of the farm population (those who will be forced out), are untrained and possibly untrainable for industrial jobs; l the analysis ignores the existing shortage of jobs. Large scale migration from rural areas would only increase the unemployment of urban centers ; l the policy was arrived at in an academic and sterile atmosphere, and Needham has since refused to allow a representative of a farmers’ organization to speak on the farmers’ view of the problem. These are the reactions of a group of students from one economics 101 section. The topic was given similar treatment in other sections. The students hope, by bringing this debate into the university, to begin to break down the structures which produce such absurd theories.

McKENNA

MENOELSON

BLUES

Away back when (about 1968) a group called the McKenna Mendelson Mainline recorded an album in Toronto. Last year they went to England and recorded another album, called Stink, which made then relatively famous (their stage shows have made them relatively infamous). Now they are gone, but definitely not forgotten. Since the reaease of Stink, their first record, ‘McKenna mende/son blues has begun to enjoy modest sales success. It’s as good, if not better than their second release. Led by the.fanfuckintastic guitar of Mike McKenna, the album epitomises tile blues as interpretted by many of the recent Toronto bands. It’s hard and course and not very polished, but it is right on throughout. The album starts off with a song written by Joe Mendelson, Drive YOU, which gives you a taste of the wonderfullness to come. Another Mendelson song, Toilet bowl b/ues brings out the earthiness which is the Mainline’s forte. “My love is like a toilet bowl; ain’t got no money, all I got is soul.” The last song on the first side is Bad women are ki//ing me, also by Mendelson. It’s the longest and probably the best on the record, as it gives McKenna the opportunity to really prove himself. Side two is weaker than one, although it does featue some fine harp playing by Mendelson as well as McKenna’s great guitar. The drums and bass are kept in the background for the most part, but they in no way detract from the overall effect of the album. Drummer Tony Nolasco maintains a steady but not overpowering beat, while Dennis Gerrard (later replaced by Mike Harrison) on bass provided an even bottom to the record. But it’s to McKenna and vocalist Mendelson that the album really belongs they are both outstanding blues artists in their own rights, but together they produce a truly remarkable sound. It’s too bad that they are no longer together, but at least we have their records to remember them by.

Hamlet collage last it7 repertoire series Last night a play opened in the Humanities Theatre. Last night, the Mare witz hamlet collage was performed non-professionally for the first time in the world. While exploring the cruelty of humour, it destroys Ham/et, the subject of its humour. The author takes Shakespeare’s p/a y, shatters it and puts fragments of it back together in strange insane sequence of scenes that ,9eem almost familiar.

r Ontario 8

The chiling humour that exists in this play is quite foreign to Hamlet, yet. it stirs radical

insights into Shakespeare’s play as well as the nature of comedy. Approaching it as Theatre of the Absurd, David Ditner directs this final production of the Hamlet repertoire. The play runs tonight and tomorrow night. Call the humanities theatre box office for ticket information.

The peace-freaks meet the piece-freaks in Zysistrata, a greek comedy about how to end the war and stuff, next thursday through Saturday in the arts theatre.

LYSISTRATA Frustrated with Blackfrairs and his english 225 course, a first year english student has enlisted the help of fellow students and will perform Lysistrata, a Greek comedy, in the arts theatre next week. Bob Currer said he first went to the english department to sponsor an all-student production but was turned down. The creative arts board decided it might be a worthwhile venture and will sponsor the play. Maurice Evans is giving some guidance, but it is mainly a student production . The play concerns a women’s strike during one of the Greek wars. Women of both sides group together, and under the slogan “No peace no piece,” force their men to end the war. “I picked Lysistrata because it was the most entertaining play not the easiest. It’s a basic play, not as complicated as some of the Blackfriars productions,, and

I think it’s better for students learning about theatre. ” Currer stresses that he is not afraid of putting on a bad play, since it’s a learning experience for the cast and crew, and many of them are relatively inexperienced in the theatre. He thinks it’s fair to -cast people who may not know what they’re doing, but he said, “My big mistake was in choosing a play with such a large cast.” There are about 30 characters in the show. This is Currer’s first experience directing although he has appeared in other productions on this campus and elsewhere. He would like to see a greek play performed every year because he says it gives the students a good overall experience in the theatre. The play will be staged in the Theatre of the Arts on march 1416. Tickets are now available from the box office, students 75$, non-students $1.25.

In rehearsal for next week’s production, two of the cast of Lysistrata exchange opinions over the proper tactics to bring the boys back home. friday

If there is any way to describe the Neil Young Everybody knows this is nowhere, it album, could be done using one word. Refreshing. Backed by the original house band of the Rock Pile in Toronto, Young has put together an album with an overall light sound. The band, Crazy Horin no way leaves se, (formerly Transfusion) the general musical style or even detracts from Young’s presentations of vocals, or his guitar work. Although this particular album has been released for about three years it has definitely not received the attention it should have. The b&t song on the album seems to be Cowgir/ in the sand. Being the longest cut it is able to provide a long, lingering basic line, which when coupled with a good solid lead guitar has an overall lazy, comforting effect. The guitar ‘work of both Neil Young and Danny Whitten, although not the best are much more appropriate to this sound or style of music than many of the heavier popular guitarists around to-

day. There still should not be any real doubt of the ‘capabilities of the individuals after listening once through the whole album. The general musical style of the album is represented in any one of the cuts but one which does stand out is Down by the river. It brings out the best qualities in Young’s voice as well as revealing the fluid guitar work which is found throughout the rest of the album. There are in addition to Crazy horse two guest artists appearing on the album. Robbie Lane, of disciple fame, adds to the vodals on Round and round, while the extra on Running dry is violinist Bobby Notkoff. Along with the lead pgrts the other members of the band provide a good solid backup in the form of bassist Billy Talbot and drummer Ralph Molina. * The overall impression of this album apart from being refreshing is that it holds ones interest because of the ingenuity used throughout!

pen Wolfe.

Since splitting from Canada a few years ago, the band has matured into one of the best hardrock groups in North America, with several bestselling albums and singles to their credit. They have not appeared in their native country too okten recently although they did play a good set in closing out last summers Toronto Pop Festival. Sunday’s performance should be one of the musical highlites of the year at Waterloo, if the group does not run into the technical difficulties which have plagued many of the concerts here this year. Appearing with Steppenwolfe is Tony Joe White, a young “country-soul” singer from Texas who went to Europe and made a name for himself before finally being discovered in America. Accompanying himself on guitar and harp, he sings songs of life in the rural south (Polk sa/ad annie is one of his best) as well as some more urban numbers.

would declare martial law if necessary. County officials ordered a 6 pm to 6 am curfew, and police were ordered to “prohibit loitering on public streets” and to “break up assemblies of more than three persons. ” Students defied the orders, and a combined force of 300 police, California high way patrolmen and sheriff’s deputies was gathered from three counties thursday night. They fought, students for six hours and were forced to withdraw at 11:30 pm. The most spectacular destruction occurred Wednesday night. One thousand demonstrators began pelting sheriff’s cars with rocks. At 9:45 pm they captured one car, forcing two deputies to flee and then setting the car afire. The flames were 30 feet high. Windows were smashed; the plywood used to board up the Bank of America’s windows, smashed the day before, was torn down and set afire; demonstrators then surged into the bank. An observer said that the group inside ‘ ‘hurled chairs into windows, overturned desks, created snowfalls of envelopes from an upstairs office- and tore up anything they could reach.” Then some people got a big trashcan, set it on fire, and ran it through the front doors and pushed it against the drapery. The police were informed that a manager was inside the burning bank. Seventy sheriff’s deputies, in full riot gear, were sent to free the manager, but when they arrived they found they had fallen into a trap. There was no manager inside but there were hundreds of students surrounding the cops, throwing rocks. The police fought their way out and withdrew from the area completely, surrendering it to the students until 2: 15 a.m., when a force of 240 cops returned to clear the streets. After the police withdrawal, firemen were unable to reach the bank. Some fraternity members tried to put out the fire, but it was ignited again and the whole place was gone in 45’minutes. A few

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. (LNS)-More than 1,000 people seized a three-block business district in a student neighborhood near the University of California at Santa Barbara Wednesday night, february 25, held it from police for six hours, smashed windows, set fire to a police car, and burned a plush Bank of America office to the ground, doing more than a quarter of a million dollars damage to the bank alone. One demonstrator said, “The Bank of America is a symbol of american capitalism, which is killing people all around the world and in the US”. Another said, “This is our response to the Chicago conspiracy trial. ’ ’ Five hundred national guardsmen were called out friday, february 27, and another 2,500 placed on standby alert after students drove 300 police out of their neighborhood three nights in a row. Two inches of rain plus a student decision not to fight the guard quieted the area friday and Saturday nights. “We don’t have any quarrel with them,” a spokesman said. But sheriff’s officers worried that renewed demonstrations would follow the pull-out of the guard on sunday and monday. “It scares me,” said sheriff William Chickering. “We’ve been told that the demonstrators are going to wait until the national guard pulls out and do it to us again. ” ‘, A total of 141 persons were arrested in five nights. At least 34 policemen were injured. Other casualties included a 35year-old university employee, who was shot in the shoulder when he accidentally drove through a police roadblock, and a 21-year-old student, who was hospitalized after being run down by a police car thursday night. Governor Ronald Reagan flew to Santa Barbara on thursday morning. He called the demonstrators “cowardly little declared a “state of extreme bums,” emergency,” and placed national guard units on alert. He also said he

charred beams were all that remained the next morning; bank officials said $275,000 damage was done. One veteran radical said, “While the students held the shopping center, there wasn’t an atmosphere of ‘wild in the streets.’ The group was calm and highly political-explicitly anti-capitalist. Targets of window-breaking were chosen carefully: the bank, the real estate offices which gouge students on rent, and the gas stations whose companies pollute Santa Barbara Bay with oil seepages. Small business were not touched. The business district that was seized and held from police on three consecutive nights lies in the heart of Isla Vista, a suburb of Santa Barbara, with a population of 13,000. Of these, 9,000 are students of the University of California branch here. The students had been united by a series of on-campus demonstrations which began in January, when Bill Allen, a popular anthropology professor, was denied tenure. Three-fourths of the school’s 14,000 students took part in one demonstration or another. Two-thirds of the student body signed a petition in support of Allen. “This was the first time radical politics made an appearance at the University of California at Santa Barbara,” one veteran radical said. “In the campus demonstrations there was a feeling of the early ‘sixties-they were non-violent and not confrontation demonstrations.” In spite of the peaceful character of the campus demonstrations, police arrested 19 people, dragging many of them out of bed in the middle of the night. The demand to re-hire Allen was not met, and a massive residue of frustration and hostility to the police was left. The Chicago conspiracy defendants became immensely popular among Santa Barbara students. Tom Hayden gave a speech at the university in early january, drawing an enthusiastic crowd of 1,200, the largest audience ever assembled for a political event on the campus up to that time. In february, the official student government invited defense attorney William Kunstler to speak on campus, offering him $2,000 of student funds, plus a percentage of the gate, plus a passing of the hat. He appeared Wednesday afternoon, february 25, in the football stadium, where 7,000 people paid 5Oq: each to hear him. The night after his speech the bank was burned. Governor Reagan suggested that Kunstler had violated the “Rap Brown act” -saying he crossed a state line to incite violence (this is the law the Chicago defendants were convicted under). Student leaders pleaded with newsmen not to say Kunstler incited the violence, pointing out that the ‘windows of the bank had been broken the night before his appearance on campus. The Bank of America, whose offices have been attacked during the past week in Berkeley, San Francisco and Los Angeles, has offered a $25,000 reward for the Santa Barbara arsonists. Board chairman Louis Lundborg reported that “we have not been able to open the vault doors since the fire, but we assume that the bank’s funds and records are safe.” He said the bank was “proud to be a symbol of the establishment in the real sense of that word: established law and order, established orderly process. ”

LIBERATION News Service The Isla Vista student ghetto of th University of California campus at Sant Barbara was the scene of a massive r( bellion last month-a conflict whit brought in an estimated 506 police offic ers and 1,000 national guardsmen. Countrary to impressions given by tlmass media, the “riots” were total1 political, totally predictable, and total together. They were also not the resu of Bill Kunstler’s appearance on campu although anger of the Chicago trial w: one of many factors involved. The number of injuries reported 1 Saturday, february 28, had reached 37, which 27 were police officers or sheriff deputies. In addition, a university en ployee was shot in the shoulder by pol,r as he attempted to drive away from tl riot area, and a student was run down 1: a California highway patrol car, whit neglected to stop after the accident occu red. Both men were reported to be satisfactory condition. The incident that touched off the r bellion was the arrest on “obscenitJ charges on tuesday, february 24, of black activist named Lefty Bryant.

Whl he was arrested on tuesday, white youtl and students who spotted the pigs arre: ing him began pelting the patrol car wi rocks.

CANADUANIZATION

Point The pros and cons There have been many arguments put forth to justify the present situation in our universities. We hope that the debate will soon reach this campus. To speed this up, and to bring the level of the debate above the more obwe present below every arvitus platitudes, gument we could find against Canadianization, together with a rebuttal. New appointments are, and should be, has-, ed only on academic merit. New appointments are usually made at the whim of department heads, without advertising, and, more frequently than one would like, go to distinctly mediocre scholars. The should part is more difficult to answer. Suffice it, for the moment, to say that it is hard to see why Canadian graduates should be forced to compete, in their own country, against the glut of PhD’s in other countries, when these other countries do not reciprocate. Canadianization would lower a university’s standing. This is either a gratuitous insult to Canadians, or else a claim that there are insufficient numbers of qualified Canadians available. If the latter, then why not advertise in Canada? Supposedly, it wouldn’t make any difference. Departure from present practises in hiring would weaken academic freedom. We grant that Canadianization guidelines would threaten the “academic freedom” to ignore Canadian graduates. But more seriously: Unless Academia amends its practises, it should not be surprised when government (which pays the salaries) does it by legislation. The lower percentage of Canadian faculty merely reflects the recent expansion of the university system. This, may, at one time, have been true for a limited number of disciplines, such as sociology. But while the number of Canadian PhD’s increases the rate at which foreign faculty takes new positions increases alarmingly, leading one to wonder if the prior shortages were not manufactured. Talk of Canadian nationalism is reactionary and/or chauvanistic. Nationalism is dead. In Canada, internationalism is no more than the rationalle for continentalism, and the sell-out of our resources to that decidedly nationalistic behemoth to the south. Canadian nationalism should not be equated with that of an exploitive and racist world power, but rather conceived as the legitimate aspiration of people to control their own destiny. As for ~the incipient death of nationalism: It’s never been healthier. And you should be glad. For just as people are entitled to individual integrity they are also entitled to cultural integrity. Advertising is “unprofessional”. This quaint view was inherited from the

. United States, which has stringent laws to guarantee that its college teachers are nationals. In Canada, academics must compete against the scholars of all countries. Failure even to inform them of available jobs is unconscionable. A person’s citizenship is his private matter. A person’s citizenship is a matter of public record. Foreign scholars enrich Canadian society. So do Canadian scholars.. Most foreigners would lean over backward to be Canadian if we could tell them what “Canadian” is. This alludes to the famed ‘#Canadian idenwhat is needed to tit y problem “. Clearly, solve it is not a concentration of foreigners in the humanities. Moreover, it is daub-tful that very many would in fact “lean over backwards’; any more than the British in India strove to be Indian. Knowledge is universal. Only some of it, while much of it, such as history, is clearly local. Further, the modes of transmitting it are ‘quite clearly not universal. Canada% cultural uniqueness lies in its concentration of foreign peoples. Translated, this reads: The only thing distinguishing Canadafrom the United States is first-generation foreigners. A gratuitous insult. We are getting the worldIs foremost scholars. Only very occasionally. It would be closer to the truth to say that we tend to get those scholars who are unable to obtain a position to their liking at home. Remember, most people have a preference to work and live in their own country. As in the United States in the 7930’s, the foreigners will become dedicated nationals. Examples of such converts on this campus are as scarce as snowballs in July. Aquota on foreign faculty would favor the second-raters. Translation: A quota would favor Canadians. Canadian studies can be taught by foreigners who do some studying up. This seems to suggest that Canadian studies are something of a triviality. Are foreigners allowed to teach history in the United States after nothing more than some “studying up”? The infusion of foreigners represents a “coming of age In of the Canadian university. lt is scarcely surprising, at a time when there is a glut of PhD’s in many countries, that many people would seek employment in Canada where, incidentally, pay and working conditions are good. Mobility of men and ideas is an essential mark of a free and open society. Surely this refers to the mobility of men inside ’ a country. Or are we to assume that

The Canadian Association of University Teachers (CA UT) will intervene if there is discrimination against Canadians, in The universities. CAUT has yet to proceed against anyone for contempt of Canadian studies, despite numerous and blatant cases of “incompewhich would probably fall into their ten cy”, definition. This definition allow that an academic with the requisite degrees may be said to be incompetent (as a chairman) if he or indifferent to the deveis “unsympathetic lopment of Canadian studies”. Any standard other than competence would be an admission that Canadians are secondrate. As pointed out earlier, we do not very often hire on the basis of the “most competent person”. And if we did impose a quota (at least two thirds of each department Canadian has been suggested) then the conclusion that we .are second-rate would force the conclusion that the Americans, British, Germans, Indians, etc. are no better than third-rate, since their home countries in all cases guarantee through law that only miniscule numbers of foreigners may be present as teachers. . Now surely we aren’t second-rate we legislate against the admission third-rate? The foreign influx has strengthened against American influence. Believe it this argument. completeness.

The absence of ads from this university (and most others) in the CAUT bulletin is the best test of that claim. The truth of the matter is contained in a letter sent to CAUT by President Petch. who was at the time under some pressure from graduate students to insist that positions be advertised. In this letter he complained of the difficulty in “timing” in advertising and recommended instead that CAUT set up an information centre. He made no commitment to advertise. his deans and department heads are free to ,hire by the grapevine, as before.

Special to the Chevron

In 1968 Professors Mathews and Steele of Carlton university put a motion before its academic staff association which called, in essence, for a policy of advertising vacancies, and of &riving to achieve a two thirds majority of Canadians in each department. The motion was overwhelmingly defeated. By no means did that end the story, however. The issue has arisen more and more persistently at York, Toronto, Carlton, Simon Fraser, and others, as well as among the general public. It is time that it arose here as well, because Waterloo is one of the worst offenders in this regard. Graduate students are, of course, the) hardest hit by decanadianization. After an arduous and expensive three or more years, a fresh PhD is liable to find that he cannot obtain a position at a university, Canadian or otherwise. But perhaps of more importance is the effect on the undergraduate population. The effect of the immigration of scholars has been to replace Canadian concerns with other, particularly american, ones. On this campus it is generally felt that a person has matured politically when he takes up the issues of Vietnam, the Black Panthers, and the Chicago riot. Indeed, it was not so long ago that this paper urged us to support the Chicago seven, saying that our rights are involved in that trial. Needless to say, we are powerless to affect the outcome of american domestic issues. The following quote, from Northrop Frye, seems appropriate: “‘It is logical to link the university and culture: in fact it could almost be said that the university today is to culture what the church is to religion: the social institution that makes it possible. **

The universities have turned their backs on the society which supports them, on the undergraduates who might reasonably expect that their university years would help them to discover themselves as persons of a particular background, and on the graduate students, who might expect that the universities would not simply wave them goodbye when- the government BIU’s stopped coming.

In the course offerings at Waterloo certain biases are present which are consistent with the nature of foreign power control in the departments studied. ENGLISH: in the english department two courses in Canadian literature and nine in american were offered when the Mathews report was published in April 1969. There are now three half-courses (at the third year level) and one grad. course in Canadian literature and still nine courses in american. Many general courses in literature tend to emphasize american content where Canadian could easily be substituted. FINE ARTS: the Fine Arts department listed no Canadian content in its curriculum at the time of the Mathews report. There is now a half course in Canadian art history and styles at the third year level. All the courses in film making technique are taught by foreigners although Canada has a world-wide reputation for producing good medium length films of all types, and does not produce feature films due to a lack of money. One professor, teaches several film critique courses but rarely shows a Canadian film in his class. Only one professor who is leaving at the end of the. year who teaches a communications class uses a great many Canadian films and nearly all Canadian content. He is the exception to the rule in Fine Arts. SOCIOLOGY: Mathews reported that out of sixty-two courses not one mentioned Canada or the sociology of Canada. He was wrong to the extent that one course offered last year on the sociological methods and practice of Urban and regional Planning did, but the Calendar descrip-

And Canadian universities have a tough row to hoe, culturally speaking. Students come to university a/riady continentalists : For although many of them are vaguely anti-American, almost none of them can see any point in the defence of this nation, or the study of its culture. Feeling no roots in the country, they are, after graduation, ready to sell it to the highest bidder. The table below was compiled from a comparison of the 68-69 Waterloo calendar and the 70-71 provisional calendar. “Canadian’ ’ , in this compilation, refers to people - who took their first (undergraduate) degree in Canada. Only full-time faculty, at the level of assistant professor or above, was counted. When in doubt, we assumed that a person was Canadian. The results are alarming, even worse than we expected to find, the Gazette’s cooing over the situation notwithstanding. Some elementary computation shows that: l The percentage of Canadians (by first degree) now at Waterloo on a full-time faculty basis, at or above the rank of assistant professor, has fallen to‘45.3%. l The percentage of Canadians hired to fill new positions in the last two years is 37%.

Of the 33 departments, only 12 have a majority of Canadians. Only 2, Kinesiology and Recreation, have the (entirely reasonable) level of two-thirds Canadian. l There are, on the other hand, 7 departments with at least two thirds foreign faculty, and a huge one (Psychology) which almost makes it. These are: German and Russian, Philosophy, Statistics, Architecture, Political Science, Sociology and Anthropology, and Urban and Regional Planning. l Sixteen of the 33 departments have foreign heads: 57% of the faculty works under foreign chairmen. l In the faculty of arts, the percentage of Canadian faculty is 37 percent, while the percentage of new faculty who are Canadian is 29 percent. The excuse put forward for this incomparable insult to Canadian higher learning aren’t Canadians is usually that “there available”. Lets look at the facts: l In 1961 Canadian universities were l

tion was misleading. This course has been retained and another added making two courses on Canada out of sixty-two. The Urban and Regional Planning (sociology) course is not usually taken by regular sociology students and thus the on-the-spot report that there was no sociology of Canada taught would be quite valid from the sociology student’s point of view. The fact that this is still true is significant. Under the heading of courses, such as “Socialization and Social Structure,” one still reads that “North America is compared with England Russia and Japan”. For North America you can read U.S.A. It is still fair, we believe, on the evidence presented in the Mathews report which we have updated somewhat, to assert that the Chairman of Sociology, Gerard DeGre and the people in charge of curriculum must be unsympathetic to the development of Canadian studies. They argue that there is nobody in the department qualified to teach Canadian Sociology. Since, there are six Canadian faculty members in the department surely more than two courses on Canada could be offered. If the Canadians are not competent to teach about their own country a sympathetic chairman and curriculum committee could quickly change the situation. An easy and relatively inexpensive method of tackling the problem is to give three Canadians, relatively familiar with the Canadian situation, special summer study grants for one summer; one to examine mass media, one to examine labour, and one to examine any of the innumerable other sociological topics that need study in Canada. In the first year they could, at the very least, teach a three part course.

With the help of graduate students specializing on Canadian studies, they could each teach at least, a half course on the topic of their choice. If this summer research type of session, were carried out for three or four years there should be enough Canadian material available for Waterloo to be pre-eminent in Canadian sociology at very low cost. Combine this program with the hiring of Canadian students as lecturers and‘the department (while not decreasing the level of study in american or other Sociological fields would add a large section of a very relevant field to its program. HISTORY: the History department with the largest number of Canadian faculty of any department examined, offered about twelve courses last year on Canada. The department did not ignore the American sector, however but offered seven courses concerning the U.S. directly and some others generally. This year there are fourteen undergrad courses and five grad dealing with Canada. The number of american courses has also been increasd to seven undergrad and two grad courses. There are also many courses on imperialism and these naturally deal with early North America and eventually with modern american, Canadian and russian imperialism. POLITICAL SCIENCE: The Mathews report says nothing about the political science department which is a mistake. There are three courses out of forty-two and a-half identified distinctly as Canadian Studies, but from personal knowledge I know the introductory courses rely heavily on Canadian material. There are only three Canadian faculty members but they happen to be relatively prominent at the

brought Canadians to 49% of staff by 1’968. l Departments at Waterloo could have no way of knowing whether there were qualified Canadians available. They almost never advertise. l The number of fresh Canadian PhD’s has been rising rapidly in the last few years. And yet they have been hired in fewer and fewer numbers. How is this reconciled with a “shortage”? Unless it is claimed that senior people were needed, but on further investigation this doesn’t hold true. l During 1967 Canadian universities graduated 4,220 masters, and 819 doctorates. In 1968, only 362 Canadians were hired by Canadian universities. .Yet, in the same year, 2,249 non-Canadians were hired. On top of that, an office of the NRC estimates that only 27 percent of these new appointees held a PhD. This means that at feast 59 percent of the non-Canadians were appointed without a PhD. “Senior people” indeed. And more than half of the Canadian PhD’s went without a Canadian appointment to make room. If you, a graduate student, can read these facts and not be shocked into action, then you deserve the kind of job you get when you graduate.

undergrad teaching level. No courses are offered in Canadian social and political theory as such, but Canadian material is probably included in some of the methodology courses. The three Americans on faculty teach american courses. Other faculty members mainly British offer british oriented courses. The chairman, last year american, is this year british. The problem with the department is the lack of Canadian political scientists of which there are many with international reputations. These people (George Grand, Rosenbluth, Trudeau, Porter, etc.) are not included very often in the course content at Waterloo. These Canadians were the forerunners of the Canadian radical student ideologies. There is much to learn and much to criticize in these men and their names should be more in evidence around the political science department, rather than the british and americans mostly referred to. It is reasonable to conclude that our Canadian students at Waterloo are receiving an overabundance of american material (british in the case of poli-sci) and attitudes in their course content. This should undoubtedly be rectified, but some specific courses on other countries should be included as well. It would be appropriate to have at least fifty percent Canadian content in all divisions, and where content is distinctively american or whatever it should be identified as such. There is a mythological shortage of qualified Canadians in all of the fields mentioned and this could be easily changed by hiring Canadian PhDs rather than american MA’s. Education is the perpetuator of cultural traditions and Canada should defend what little it has. friday

URING THE past four months I have read a number of articles dealing with various aspects of the tightening job situation for Ph.D. chemists. In my opinion the statements by Omand Solandt of the science council were especially disturbing. In his words he “sees no evidence of a Ph.D. surplus in the future”. Evidently, Solandt has not talked with many 1967 and 1968 graduates seeking their first full-time employment (not including post-doctoral work). To be realistic would be to admit that there is a very tight job situation in 1968, and the problems by 1970 will only be worse. At this point I wonder why our universities are allowed to expand their graduate research at such a fast rate. It seems even more puzzling when one considers the aggressive recruiting done by our chemistry departments for foreign graduate students. In the November issue of Chemistry in Britain I counted seven separate advertisements seeking graduate students. This recruiting would be justifiable if there was an acute shortage of Canadian Ph.D.3 and the country could effectively absorb as many Ph.D.3 as possible for future development. D

this we may be certain, it will be far, far more generous to foreigners than any existing quota in any other nation. But a quota will have to be established if our universities are to remain Canadian, and my own suggestion is that it should be enacted by law passed by our provincial governments. They, after all, are the chief paymasters of the university today. I speak ruefully when I predict that the Canadian universities, if left to their own devices, would never under any circumstances, least of all existing ones, take a measure of this sort on their own initiative and make it stick.

Furthermore, I learned from a few interviews that industrial employers are receiving many unsolicited applications from english Ph.D.2 completing post-doctoral work in Canada and the United States. Apparently, this is unprecedented, and it is unfortunate for Canada that there are not enough worth while positions in this country for all applicants, regardless of the source. This added competition is particularly noticeable in university appointments. A glance at the staffs of chemistr y departments across Canada reveals some interesting facts. In some departments over 50% of the junior staff members (assistant professor level) are non-Canadians with the greatest majority being English Ph.D. ‘s.

But for this very reason it should be strong enough in its native majority to be able truly to welcome them, and that majority is what this nation must protect and if necessary create a strong enough native majority on our faculties to guarantee both our control of policy and our grateful goodwill to those others we invite to work with us. If we fail to secure such a majority, and secure it soon, it takes no clairvoyance to foretell a disastrously , unhappy situation for all concerned, for our visitors no less than for ourselves. For the territorial imperative will be sure to assert itself if it is excessively violated, and if it should come to that, then Canadians will behave as it has always made people behave when their own destinies have been taken out of their hands. The volume of ill- will that would then ensue would be something so unpleasant that I cannot bring myself to contemplate it.

There isn’t any doubt that chemistry departments were required to hire non-Canadians five to ten years ago because of the shortage of suitably trained Canadians. However, is it necessary today to follow this same line of thinking particularly with junior-level appointments? I think not! Evidently some departments hire candidates strictly on the strength of publications giving little or no regard to other important qualities such as personality and genuine interest in undergraduate teaching. It may come as a shock to some but there are many qualified Canadians who possess these qualities and qualifications. Also, I wonder if there are other Canadian Ph.D.2 like myself who resent this traditional practise of hiring nonCanadians for academic posts.

“lpve tried to, induce young economists from schools such as Harvard, but in practically every case the response has been negative. r’r Dr. S. Weintraub, Chairman of Economics by Jerry

Malzan

Special to the Chevron

For my information on this department I am indebted to that organ of the administration, the mealy-mouthed, ever- “factual” Gazette. In its starry-eyed report on the new chairman of the economics department it tells us that Professors Weintraub (the new wants to get economics into the graduate head), an American, school business. Why? So that Canada will not have to rely on the United States for its “trained” economists. And how is this accomplished? By bringing to the department of Economics seven Americans. (Academic vicepresident J. Minas may have had hand in this, as former department head. He too is, of course, an American.) And what is a “trained” economist? You can be certain, first of all, that the term has been defined in the United States, where scholarship has long been corrupted by the military, and the sort of bigbusiness, big-government interest that Weintraub so perfectly represents, as the Gazette unwittingly makes clear. But Weintraub gives us some idea of what is meant by “trained” in the Gazette: There we learn that a “trained” economist must have (preferably) a major in mathematics, with computers a large interest. This is, of course, the economics of large numbers, the economics that guarantee that business and government keep the rest of us in lock-step.

These are exciting times for anyone interested in literature in Canada. More young Canadians are expressing their ideas and feelings in print, and there are more people writing (today in this country than ever before. True, we’ve not yet produced a Dickens, a Conrad or Joyce, nor even a Faulkner or a Hemingway. After all, England has taken more than a thousand years to build up its literature. Also, the U.S. has been an independent nation for almost twice the time that we have been united. Add to this the colonial spirit that persisted in Canada up to World war I, and our present cultural struggle against American domination in the mass media. Then there is the difference in populations. Britain has about three times our number, while there are at least ten americans for each Canadian. This affects both the number of potential writers and the market that can support them. Lastly, there is the problem of reputation, which is harder to establish in Canada, even among our smaller number of readers. If you doubt this, ask yourself how many of the following authors you recognize or have read. Then compare this to the number of Canadian novels that you have read. Or the names of Canadian poets that you recognize. Or the Canadian playwrites that you have read. In view of all these difficulties, the wonder is not so much whether we have produced a great literature. It’s that we’ve been able to create any literature at all! When the distinguished Canadian author, Hugh MacLennan; visited this campus last fall, he expressed admiration for Arthur Hailey. The latter is a success in Hollywood, while MacLennan is a mere professor of English at McGill. After starving as a professional writer in Canada, he now works in a university in c

adian economists” will almost certainly end up as a place where american graduate students are educated at the expense of Canadians. I will, however, belabour the point that Weintraub’s stated reason for producing more Canadian graduates is that he has found it difficult to attract “trained” Americans. It is some sort of commentary on the seriousness of the present situation that the Gazette put all of this into a favorable light. The student press is sometimes accused of being “tashy”. It cannot even begin to approximate the depths to which that insipid news letter aspires when it concurs in the conclusion that an american-model graduate school should be opened because americans cannot be attracted to Canada. But perhaps it is best to convict Weintraub and his imperialist mentality out of his own mouth: “I’ve tried to induce young economists from schools such as Harvard, but in practically every case the response has been negative. Yet we are offering remuneration at a level that is certainly appropriate.. . perhaps above their market level, in fact.” ” Everyone should be an optimist ! ” “We have problems, but not the kind we have had in the past. There are opportunities available for youngsters today. Our problems don’t have the same economic base you will find for the problems in India, China and Russia, for example.” Thank you, Dr. Weintraub. Your analysis of our non-problems is simply brilliant.

order to stay alive. This is why the majority of our modern authors have been forced to become professors! This is not the case in either Britain or the U.S.A. Despite these disadvantages, there is a growing body of good literature being written in Canada today. We are a small, young country and our culture is just beginning to take shape. That is why our literature-which reflects our ideas, our feelings, and our own outlook-is so young, vital, alive. Above all, it is relevant! It is a record of how it feels to be alive HERE and NOW. And it deals with our problems, our experiences and our expectations. That is why I believe that young people are so keenly interested in Canadian literature today. And students are demanding more and more of it. This year there/have been three undergrad secti6ns and two grad courses in Canadian Lit:- Another specialist has been hired to offer more courses for undergrads next year. In view of its relevance to our modern problems, the best approach to “Can. Lit.” is, I believe, the social or sociological approach. This is evident in the fiction of most of our better known writers. Lenard Cohen in Beautiful Losers treats the chaos and~disintegration facing the individual both without and within. Mordecai Richler satirizes anti-Semitism and the mass media in Montreal and Toronto. Morley Callaghan deals with the problems of social justice in colour prejudice, crime and prostitution. Hugh MacLennan treats the questions of separatism, poverty and our national independence. Frederick Grove, in a series of powerful studies of prairie life, presents vivid pictures of hardship and the “generation gap.” Finally, there is the biting irony of Gabrielle Roy’s The Tin Flute which exposes a society that its poverty and unemployment bY “solves”

sending its men to war. Many of these same problems appear in Canadian short stories, as collected by Robert Weaver or Desmond Pacey. For those who like poetry there are several cheap anthologies available in paperbacks. Social comment and humour make up an amusing collection edited by Frank Scott and A.J.M.Smith in The Blasted Pine. It is directed mainly against the establishment in Canada. Something more erotic may be found in Love Where the Nights are Long, collected by Irving Layton. Those who wish a general introduction to our poets may try the brief selections in Ralph Gustafson’s revised edition of Anthology of Canadian Poetry (English). Somewhat better because it includes French Canadian poets is The Oxford. Book of Canadian Verse, as edited by A.J.M. Smith. Unfortunately, Smith’s The Book of Canadian Poetry is already outdated, and his first volume- of The Book of Canadian Pose comes only to Confederation. There are fuller selections of poetry in three small anthologies compiled by Milton Wilson: Poetry of Mid-century, Poets Between the Wars and Poets of Confederation. l?he most comprehensive collection of prose and verse is still Canadian Anthlogy ‘by Klinck and WaMers. Despite its cost, it’s good value.

Finally, those who wish to read about Canadian writing may dip into Desmond Pacey’s Creative Writing in Canada or his Ten Canadian poets. I would not recommend the expensive Literary History of Canada. It’s much o too dull. One last word of tribute to those Canadian publishers who lose money in order to promote young Canadian writers. We should all support them so that our real genius may at last mature and be recognized for- what it is and for what it has already accomplished.

The wonder is not so much whether we have produced a great literature. It3 that weVe been able to create any literature at all!

Recommendations

In many ways, it seems to us, undergraduates are better 8judges of the aualitv and relevance of their education than the educate rs. We therefore recommend that you raise hell whenever you feel tha It your course material is poorly taught or is irrelevant to you. This reco-mmendation has, of course, nothing to do with , the nationality of your instructor. But more important: Stop being so ashamed of being Canadian. If you have no respect for your community then, inevitably, youcanhave no respect for yourself. TO GRADUATE STUDENTS For some of you, the situation is desperate. We don’t know which of you will end up teaching high school or the community colleges when you finally get that PhD. It is easy to see that well over half of fresh PhD.‘s are not getting university positions, but our figures do not show which areas are tight. Before spending any more time on a degree that may take you nowhere, ask your supervisor or department head what the employment possibilities are. And don’t stand for any vague verbal assurances. Demand to know about specific openings, and other precise information. You don’t think the university would take that kind of time out of your life if it didn’t think a position would be available somewhere? Just look at how it overenrolls in co-op and draw your own conclusions.

TO THE FACULTY It is unlikely, we think, that you will do anything. Even those of you who were born Canadian seem mostly uninterested in the cultural or economic life of the country. But in case you are, you should, the next time a foreigner is proposed for a position, raise one unholy row, demanding to know whether a Canadian can be found. If you are not Canadian-born, you should do the same thing, if *you wish to avoid the epithets of “colonialist” or “opportunist”. (Those terms which should be applied to Canadians unwilling to support their own country we will, for the moment, keep to ourselves.) , ’ ;<-, ,/TO THE ADMINISTRATION: , -’ You are the ones who, this side of the government, have the power to change all of this: We doubt that you will act. But if you do, we suggest ‘.-ccc ‘y.;&:;.I ”that whenever a foreigner (first degree non-Canadian) is proposed for a permanent faculty position, you veto the appointment unless: Le. ‘0 it has been proven that no qualified Canadian is available and “* @ there is no question but that a person with precisely those qualifications is necessary to this university. 2. That within each department you discourage a foreign graduate population in excess of 20%. 3. That as a matter of principle (and action) you publicly pledge this institution to the service of this community, and this nation. TO THE GOVERNMENT: We would like to believe that our local branch of the “international community of scholars” is, or could be, behaving responsibly. By its flagrant disregard of everything Canadian it has shown that it cares nothing for local institutions, including the government, except insofar as you are the paymasters. Nor do we have any illusions about this article changing things at Waterloo. We dread the idea of government interference in the universities: but at this point almost any interference would improve upon the present state of affairs. Therefore, unless the Ontario universities move clearly in the direction of treating Canadians in a fair manner, we recommend a that the two-year tax holiday for foreign faculty be abolished. e that the immigration laws be toughened so as to bar a foreigner moving into a permanent position at a Canadian university, except by special permission of the minister of immigration. l that the Canadian government review its policy on foreign graduate -students, having an eye to whether the cost of their education is to be regarded as international aid (in which case their numbers should be something beneath 20 percent of the graduate school total, and they should be required, upon graduation, to return to their country of origin) pr the foreigners who are admitted should be admitted as crucially “necessary, and urged to stay after graduation. There are very few people%in this last category. “9 that the present rules, which discriminate in favour of American and British graduate students, (by permitting them almost immediate landed immigrant status) be revoked, and that future rules be as fair to Indians, Africans, etc. as they-are to citizens of the world’s “Great” powers. I

These are just a few of the many ads. our universities place in British and foreigh magazines. The magazines in this instance are both British, namely, Educational and Nature.

Debate necessary In this special issue on the deCanadianization of the universities, and of Waterloo in particular, we have attempted to show why our universities should strive for Canadian character, and how Waterloo is failing to do so. ’ Hopefully, this will mark the opening of a debate on this campus, since a very large number of people, particularly faculty, find the very mention of nationality touchy and distasteful. Indeed, we hope a debate will occur, and suggest that you participate in the pages of the Chevron, in the Gazette, or by personal communication. And make no mistake about it: This issue is not going to fade away. If you feel that the present practise of overwhelming our universities with foreigners can be defended, then by all means do it. All of us, we’re sure, are rational people, and sooner or later the truth of the matter is bound to emerge. In the next few pages we present our case or, rather, a part of it: We could easily have filled as much space again with the material available on this university alone. We admit that the tone of some of the pieces within are harsh, and not altogether conducive to a gentlemanly debate. Nevertheless, we do not feel constrained to withdraw them nor to

apologize for them as we don’t feel we have overstated the gravity of the situation. We have not dealt here at very much length with the subject of foreign graduate students: lack of space, and lack of information were the main reasons for this. For the moment we will say only that the evidence that Canadian scholars are unfairly discriminated against in their own country is paralled by evidence that canadian students are discriminated against in our graduate schools. Let us make clear at the outset that we are in no way, shape, of form suggesting that anyone now in Canada be sent home, or be discriminated against in any way, save one: We very seriously wonder about the propriety of persons who are not even landed immigrants acting as department chairmen. We appeal to pro-tern president Howard Petch or President (to be) Matthews to do something. If your hands are tied by your deans, then let the rest of the campus in on the secret: We’d love to help. And if you can’t agree with us, debate us. If this matter cannot be resolved on the campus, then it’s going to be resolved in the newspapers and by the government, with consequences none of us would like.

the flimsily constructed buildings, compulsory la-month leases for 8-month occupancy, and non-refunded cleaning deposits. “Isla Vista has all the attributes of a ghetto, ” explained one student. “The only difference is that the niggers are students.” Other factors have been causing unrest on this lovely seaside campus. One of these was the oil spills which have repeatedly been poured into the waters by the oil companies’ careless off shore drilling. The coast for miles around Santa Barbara is a sickly brown color from the polluting effects of the oil slicks. So far protest has been to no avail. Neither state, local or federal authorities have seen fit to use their power to curb the big oil companies, although old and young citizens, and especially organized ecology groups, have been outraged. Ecology has played other parts in the growing anger of the students. There is a slough-a marshy area of land, something between ocean and fresh waterwhich houses a large variety of sea life and provides a rest stop for migratory birds running along the border of the campus. The university wants to run a thin strip of freeway through the slough. They say it’s because they’re going to expand the campus to 25,000 students and need this road to handle the expansion. Land speculators are rushing to fill in the slough so they can build new apartments, stores, etc. The chamber of commerce doesn’t care if filling in the slough will ruin the ecological balance of the area, killing fish and crabs and driving‘ away the migratory birds. They can make money off the land, and the university’s chancellor is a member of the chamber of commerce. Movements to protect the ecology were early lessons for the students of their powerlessness. Their repeated protests over the oil spills went unheard, even when 500 marched and about 100 slept in over night at Stern’s Wharf last january 8, the first anniversary of the big oil spill. Broad-based student and faculty opposition to the freeway through the slough had similar negative results-even though 80 percent of the people on the campus signed a petition against the new road. But then, chancellor Cheadle, in addition to serving on the chamber of commerce also is on the board of directors of Goleta Savings and Loan (a local bank) ; the growth of the business and residential area is good for his business. Students have in the past received promises of ecological reform by the administration, but each time the promises were betrayed. When strong protests were mounted to a stand of trees being cut down, the administration finally promised not to cut them. They didn’tuntil the students went home for the summer. When they returned in the fall,

the trees were all gone. Similar experiences were reported concerning grassy areas paved over while students were away for quarter break. Ecology and housing conditions aren’t the only things that have been arousing student ire. The war has long been a center of student activity. There has been a campaign against ROTC for some time, including several fire bombings of the ROTC building. The students have good cause to attack their school on account of the Vietnam war. The University of California at Santa Barbara has in the past few years seen a six-fold increase in its department of defense research contracts, while the rest of the university system has been receiving decreasing funds. Most of the university’s money, in fact, comes from the marine biology and the navy department. Gordon MacDonald, vice-chancellor of business and research, as well as of graduate affairs, member of the institute for defense analyses, and member of the president’s science advisory board, received his money from doing research on the uses of the sea for military and business exploitation. MacDonald is also a member of the new pollution board; he favors continued oil drilling in the channel. Other faculty members, such as Henry Offen, receive almost all of their income from air force and navy contracts. University land is being built up to facilitate “research parks. ” Those who benefit will be the realtors, the land speculators, the government, the university administration and the researchers. Only the students and ecologists lose. Students contend the real reason for the proposed freeway through the slough is not to serve an expanded student body, but to faciliate access to the research parks which the university hopes to build on the west side of the campus. The road would run from east to west. The issue which more than any other has been building up resentment and hostility among the students was the firing of a popular professor, Bill Allen. Allen was refused tenure by the ultraconservative anthropology department last june. When students heard the news upon returning to campus in the fall, they were angry. They demanded an open hearing to review the case, charging that Allen was fired not for lack of ability, but because his life-style and politics were more like those of students than those of the professors of the anthropology department. David Brokenshaw, head of the department. David Brokenshaw, head of the department, was formerly a colonial administrator in Rhodesia, and students say this isn’t the first time professors have been fucked over by the department because of him. But the students at first were willing to go along with the old ploy, “Why don’t you use the proper channels?” They

collected 7,776 signatures on a petition (on a campus of 12,000 students) seeking a review of Allen’s case. Demonstrations began when the administration ignored the petition.

About 3,000 students protested outside the locked and heavily-guarded administration building january 29. The demonstrations lasted five days, with no violence but the first week in february the administration started singling out “leaders, ” arresting them in their homes late at night, gestapo style. The Santa Barbara 19 became a new cause for the students; Bill Allen was one of the 19. One student later commented, “They tell you to go through the proper channels and work within the system, but when you do, you find out just how open the channels are. ” Viewing themselves as ghettoized, the students also see the police as an outside occupying army. Isla Vista does not have its own police forces (let alone selfgovernment or ownership of the land), and students charge the police are unnecessarily brutal, and get their kicks by beating up and hassling freaks and longhairs when they find them in the streets late at night. Into all of this background of turmoil and seething discontent-after a day of fighting and a night of window smashing-walked Bill Kunstler and Nancy Kurshan to speak about the recent Chicago conspiracy trial. It is interesting that the press completely ignored the presence of Nancy -she is Jerry Rubin’s wife-on campus as an “instigation to riot,” but this may not be entirely due to male chauvinism. They also ignored Leonard Weinglass and Tom Hayden in reporting another speech by Kunstler. Apparently, Kunstler is the next target.

Typically, the chancellor, the police chief and the governor, as well as a sprinkling of state senators, rushed to charge that the outside agitator had caused all the trouble-and had crossed state lines to do so. UCLA and San Fernando Valley State College quickly moved to ban Kunstler from speaking at their campuses. An unsuccessful attempt was made to get an injunction to bar him from speaking anywhere in the state. Finally a meeting place was found in a Unitarian church in a conservative suburb of Los Angeles. The speeches by Weinglass, Hayden and Kunstler-to an audience of more than 4,000 who had flocked from everywhere to hear the banned speaker-were interesting, informative and totally nonprovocative. And the University of California at Santa Barbara is still left wonddering why her lovely campus was the scene of so much violence. d ft-iday

(CUP)-Perry Mearbitration committee in the cases of 29 Loyola College faculty fired by their administration last december, surprised ’ the Loyola campus tuesday by reversing the administration’s decision in the cases of 22 of the professors. -At the same time, Meyer took pains to soften the blow for the Loyola administration, declaring that the original action in _firing the professors did not constitute the “political purge” charged by students and faculty at the college.

yer, one-man

Students at Loyola termed Meyer’s decision “a great victory” in their year-long struggle with the all-Jesuit administration at Loyola. Administrators, although reportedly thunderstruck at the long-awaited arbitration report, made no comment on the decision. Meyer, a law professor at McGill University, was appointed a special investigator into disturbances at Loyola january 12, after students and faculty had launched a full-scale protest against their administration for the firings and for refusing to

consider binding arbitration in the case of nuclear physicist S. A. Santhanam, dismissed by the college at the beginning of the fall term. A high proportion of the dismissed faculty had been heavily involved in criticism of the Loyola administration for its action in firing Santhanam, and some had supported a three-day class boycott by students protesting the administration’s no-negotiation attitude over the Santhanam firing. On january 20, the Loyola administration agreed to suspend letters of non-renewal of contract sent to the dismissed faculty, and granted the right of appeal of the decision to the 27 and to two other faculty dismissed at the same time. Meyer was appointed a oneman appeals board for the cases, and the administration agreed that his decision would be binding on all parties. Tuesday Meyer declared that 22 of the faculty should be granted one-year “non-terminal” contracts-containing a renewal option. Five of the remaining professors were dismissed from Loyola, two others withdrew their appeals before Meyer reached a decision. In his 89-page report, Meyer also suggested sweeping changes in the governing structure of Loyola-although the suggestions will not be binding on the College. Chief among the suggestions was a large-scale cutback in the power of the Roman Catholic Society of Jesus over academic affairs at the college: arguing that ‘ ‘serious consideration” should be given to the selection of a lay president and academic vice-president for Loyola. Current administration president Patrick Malone and acting academic vice-president Jack O’Brien are both members of the Jesuit order, both have served as objects of student and faculty discontent at the college. Meyer also suggested that members of the Loyola board of trustees (currently all Jesuits) should not be allowed to hold “senior academic positions” at the college (currently, at least three trustees : Malone, O’Brien and science dean Aloysius Graham-hold academic posts). At the same time, Meyer warned that financial and administrative considerations might force cutbacks in Loyola staff next year. The administration had declared this year that possible enrollment cutbacks forced their decision to fire the 27 faculty.

OTTAWA (CNS)-The Canadian Welfare Council released on March 8 the report of its inquiry on tansient youth during the summer of 1969. One of the purposes of the inquiry was to discover who the young transients were, ~how they viewed themselves and the community, and what their perceptions were of the attitudes of adults and other authorities to them. A sample of 119 young people was chosen between the ages of 14 and 24. They were interviewed in five cities: Vancouver, Winnipeg, Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal. In each of the five cities, interviews were arranged in collaboration with the youth projects operated by and for young people. The interviewers were young men and women identified with the contemporary youth scene. Some of the findings and observations : Families of the youth interviewed are significantly larger than Canadian families generally. Families with five or more children were almost twice as numerous in the sample as in the general population (26.2 percent compared with 14 percent ) . More than half the fathers of youth in the sample are in managerial, professional and technical occupations, as Compared with 23 percent for the population generally . “Youth transiency would appear to be a phenomenon associated primarily with middle and upper income families with no significant differencesas ’ between male and female youth.” Striking differences are apparent in the family backgrounds of male and female transients. Eight . percent of the boys are from families with only one parent in the home; the proportion increases to 45 percent among the girls. Only 19 percent of the youth had severed all contact with the family. Over half reported they maintained regular correspondence with their family by mail, telephone calls or visits. “There was a strong impression that many parents accepted, if not wholeheartedly approved, the transient life of the respondent. ” With the exception of 12 individuals who -had only elementary school, these young people had been or still were in university or high school. In most cases the attitude of the respondents toward the school system was critical or hostile. About 50 percent of them said they had been in trouble in school. “The most pointed criticisms described the school as boring, restrictive of initiative, freedom and creativity, rigid, regimented and authoritarian.. .” 54 percent had been travelling

over six months, and more than half had been on the road for two years or more. Most of the confirmed itinerants are males and 18 years of age and more, and over 24 percent of this group had been on the road three years and more. There seemed to be three main reasons for travelling: to escape from problems in the home, to see the country and seek adventure, and to gain new experience and understanding of oneself and other people and places. Problems with the police were mentioned as the biggest hassle by 47 of the youth, accommodation by 36, food by 29, money by 23, employment by 16, health by 9. Employment was given as the means of subsistence by 73 of the 119 young people, assistance from friends by 40, dealing in drugs by 34, panhandling by 35, savings by 23, family by 19, social assistance by 14, and stealing by 11 (aach respondent mentioned one or more items). 59 percent enjoyed the life they were leading; 23.9 percent said it is only partially fulfilling and has disadvantages ; 17 percent said it is not a desirable kind of life, lacks security and induces depression. There were favourable and unfavourable comments about the long-established agencies. Some people regarded them as helpful and fair. Others complained about having been given the runaround. The new youth-operated services were generally commended as understanding, unprejudiced, unlikely to hassle anyone. All respondents with three exceptions claimed to have used drugs, and for most of them their first experience had been with marijuana. About 20 percent said they had had some experience with hard drugs. About a dozen said they had pushed drugs. About half said they began using drugs between the ages of 14 and 16; two said they began at 11 years and two at 13; the remainder said they began when they were 16. There was variation in attitudes of youth to drugs, from, “It’s great if used intelligently and responsibly”, to expressions of anxiety about impurities of supplies, infection from needles, and mental health effects. Forty-two respondents out of 70 believed that adults had a very bad opinion of youth. “They believed that adults think of young people as dirty crap, irresponsible, going to ruin, lost souls, corrupt, parasitic, good-for-nothing, lazy, a gang of failures, outrageous, revolting speed freaks. ” Twenty-two other persons believed that adults didn’t have a high opinion of youth, but were less hostile than the first 42. The rest didn’t give a damn what adults thought of youth.

Blues retain

C/AU title--

A fairy ta/e ending to Laurent’s college career by John Nelson Chevron Staff

Five years ago Paul Laurent stunned the hockey world by joining the University of Toronto blues. The talented centre had been a star with the Toronto‘ marlboros of the junior “A” league (he scored 100 points in 1964-65) and was considered by experts to be a sure bet in the National Hockey League. In his first game in a varsity uniform he led his team with three goals. Since then his story is weli known-OQAA scoring champion once and runner-up four times. Laurent’s proficiency on the ice has always been a key factor to Toronto’s success. If he’s not scoring goals he’s killing penalties; and if not that he’s fouling up the opposition by forcing them to double cover him. His numerous exploits have prompted more than one coach to conclude that “Toronto goes as Laurent goes.” Last Saturday in the CIAU championship game Paul Laurent ended his college career in a blaze of glory. With only fourteen seconds remaining until overtime he picked off a centering pass from teammate Bob- McGuinn and fired a quick backhand past St. Mary’s goalie Chuck Goddard. Just seconds away from the end of five great years Laurent had scored the most important goal of his life. “It’s a great way to go out” exclaimed a jubilant Laurent, clutching to his stick like it was made out of gold. Laurent graduates this spring with a law degree and plans to article next year in Toronto. The abrupt 3-2 ending of the title game dashed the longshot hopes of the St. Mary’s huskies, who came so close to turning impossibility into reality. Having to play their third hard game in as many days the huskies just couldn’t quite catch the better A jubilant Tom rested blues. Watt, coach of the blues, had nothing but praise for the losers, saying that it was his team’s “toughest game of the year.” The victory gave the blues their fourth CIAU title in five years.

C/AU playoffs All things considered the recent CIAU playoffs held at St. Dunstan’s University in Charlottetown were a farce. The prime purpose of the tournament was to clearly determine who actually had the best college hockey team in Canada. Now that it is over that question can still be asked. Toronto may have won it again but what might have happened if they, instead of St. Mary’s, had had to play York and Loyola, two strong teams who have excellent past records against them, and St. Mary’s had got the bye into the final? This question, being asked by many college hockey fans from coast to coast, should never have arisen had the playoffs been staged in a better way. Since the tournament involves the awkward number of five, what would be wrong with having each team play each other, with the winner being decided on a points basis? This system would

Unfortunately the last game was the only’ decent tilt of the tournam.en t . The blues pasted Alberta 6-O to enter the final while St. Mary’s dumped York 4-l and then whitewashed powerful Loyola 4-O. In consolation action, for what it’s worth, York completed Alberta’s disastrous trip with an 11-3 bombing and then stopped Loyola 7-3 to place third in the tournament. In addition to Laurent’s clincher the blues received a pair of goals from Terry Peterman, both on passes from Brian St. John. St. Mary’s picked up their two markers off the sticks of Brian O’Bryne and Gerry Cameron. Huskie’s goalie Chuck Goddard was selected as the most valuable player of the tournament, A former Peterboro Pete star, Goddard was outstanding in all three games, playing a crucial role in S. t. Mary’s basically defensive style of play. Other players to join him on aht allstar team were O’Bryne and

John Murray, also of St. Mary’s and Toronto forwards Peterman, Holmes, and St. John. The leading scorer of the tournament was York’s Murray Stroud (an exblue) who finished with 11 points on three goals and eight assists. Linemate Steve Latinovich was second with six goals and four assists. Now that the college season is over the Chevron sports department would like to pick what it considers to be the top ten teams in Canada. Much emphasis is given to season play as well as to the national playoffs.

accomphh give every team an equal opportunity, eliminating the bye and even more important removing the dull anti-climax of consolation games which have usually proved to be meaningless. It is most unfair to expect a team to fly 4,000 miles (as Alberta did) only to be bounced from serious competition the first night. As it stands now it takes a minimum of five days for a team to participate in the tourney. A schedule of four games in five or six days (with no more than two in a row) would add little extra time or cost. Even if it was felt by Canadian colleges that this method would be unacceptable, they should at least explore the possibility of spreading the existing system over two more days so that each team has an equal opportunity to rest. If a bye has to be given, why not award it to the top team in an established national rating system, thus making it worthwhile to be officially the best.

/ittIe Another, area in which the playoffs could stand improvement is in publicity. For each of the key games last weekend less than 2,000 fans showed up-a disgraceful turnout for college hockey’s biggest annual event. If the games were played at the site of one of the participants and were much better advertised, attendance would soar. Coverage of college hockey by the press is terrible; most pee-wee teams get more ink space! Much greater efforts just have to be made to get some important matches televised, as this is easily the best way to sell the game. Recently the University of Toronto played Cornell University for the unofficial championship of North America. In all of Toronto’s three daily’s little or no prior mention of the event was given and the write-ups were all overshadowed by high school hockey! One wonders how this would compare to the publicity that would be given if Ohio State and Texas were to play in football?

Etigson view

Mr. Etigson’s letter in the feedback of last friday, is a good example of how enraged the proisraeli groups become when an article presenting the other side of the story in the Arab-Israeli conflict is published in any north american newspaper. Although Mr: Etigson’s letter contained nothing but unrelated quotations to the facts stated by Mr. Twal, it nevertheless revealed an important point. This point is that the pro-israelis think that their point only should dominate the news media. Mr. Etigson himself unknowingly admits that there is one group behind many letters signed under different names by telling us “a group of interested students have submitted an article to the Chevron with the israeli point of view.” Further, it is not all surprising that Mr. Etigsonj suggested that Mr. Twal was “out of place at a university” for shedding some light on the history of the establishment of Israel on Palestinian land. The Israelis have made a million and a half Palestinian Arabs “out of home”. As for “the Arabs sitting down at the conference table” with the Israelis, I wonder if the Israelis are prepared to sit down with the Arab governments. The Palestinians are the most concerned in any middleeast settlement and are the immediate victims of the Zionist expansionist plans. One may get a better insight into the problem when one reads that “there was no such thing as Palestinians”. . . “they did not exist”. .. “how can we return the occupied territories? There is nobody to return them to.” Golda Mier, israeli prime minister, Sunday Times, London, june 15, 1969. This quote needs no further comment. But on the other hand, I do agree with Mr. Etigson that “the emphasis is on the people not the governments.” The Palestinians now have neither a country nor a government. This is why they Jews” are the “new dedicated who are striving by every possi-

Letter arts,

Your article in contention with the grading system in the feb. 24 issue has some merit, I believe, as applied to Arts Students. I understand how it is questionable to apply a specific mark to a in say, philosophy or paper many other Art subjects, and a ble means to go back home after grade any more specific than plus 22 years of destitution and exile ,or minus ten could well be meanrather than after an alleged : ingless period of 22 centuries. Ah-so, but this is flatly wrong in MO GHAMIAN the case of Eng., Math and Sciegrad eng. rice (EMS) Students. All EMS subjects are based ultimately on mathematics. On almost all EMS exams, the answers are exact Charlie comments on need numbers-X foot-pounds, Ygallons, N mph etc.- My point is: hanging paintings These answers can be marked very accurately and an exact I would like to bring a number mark (plus or minus zero) can be of things to your attentionassigned to a paper with no I’ll probably imply more...If you difficulty.

It seems favorite paintings ever). It was to me that the Artsmen, wanting slashed and removed from its looser grading, are dictating the place in the modern languages foyer. I never expected to see policy for all the other faculties. it again. But-wonder of wonders Exact marks are accurate and I saw it in the faculty lounge meaningful on’ EMS papers-so by the arts coffee shop. (ust a let’s have them. All EMS studglimpse, mind you-1 am but an ents I have talked to favour this. under-graduate. )--So I did some I would like to see on EMS requick research and found out ports: some things.. . i) For each EMS subject: A i) For a number of reasons, number mark and rank in that not the least of which is fear of subject class.

ii) For overall average! A number mark and rank in your course class. All this calculating should be very easy to program on the computer Even as I write, I can hear the loud cries of dehumanization and competition. Does it hurt to know the exact truth? Most EMS students will enter the industrial and business world upon graduation, and baby, it’s really competitive out there. Are we just playing house at university? Your mention of the line, “The registrar requires that we submit a mark” is OK, but more so, EMS students’ ‘co-op employers and future career employers demand marks. A mark and rank is very relevant to us because the work we will do as professionals will be just like the work we are being examined on now. Since there is no openly stated policy on the subject, I would appreciate the editor contacting the registrar’s office to find out their reasons for current practice of letters and no ranks and report in some detail in the Chevron . Secondly, I would like to see Engsoc,’ Mathsoc and Scisoc look into the subject as I’m sure there is lots of student interest here. BOB WELLS applied them 2B Out-Term General Electric P.S. The Arts Faculty must be running a pretty loose show if you can go and beg or barter for your marks. Why bother with school?

If “Peof” is so certain that there is anyone else in our English 370 class that feels like he does (“If we don’t do something, that “Drink” will keep screwing us. ), why doesn’t he come out from behind his pseudonym some day before class and ask us what we think. If things are half as bad as he says, he shouldn’t have any trouble finding sympathizers should he? SCOTT NEILLY english 3

wants athletics

aid

So the athletic department comes under fire (Chevron, 3 march), does it? About time, I should think, but let’s not stop when one or two coaches quit. There’s one hell of a can of worms in that department so let’s get the lid right off. We all have a right to know what’s there-athletics is supposedly run for students, and our students fees account for about 80 percent of the department’s income. Let’s take a little whiffthe information released by the jock empire smells bad enough. Where, for example, does that $110,000 in salaries go? Who gets it? Surely it isn’t all for Totzke... and why does the published breakdown of expenses for men’s athletics include no expenditue for coaching for the football and hockey teams? Sure, Delahaye & Co. do it out of the goodness of their hearts. That’s the way everything works around here, isn’t it? A little more seriously, one hears that the coaching of varsity teams is a duty which goes with a physed school faculty appointment. And Totzke would certainly be the first to deny that the phys-ed school is in any way supported by student athletic fees. Fine, Carl, old boy, but where does the $7 7O,OOOgo?

And why-just stop and think about it-did the entire women’s athletic program get less money last year than was spent on the football or hockey team? (And don’t forget that the coaches of those teams don’t seem to get paid. ) Why is the women’s intramural program this year getting less than 11 percent of the financial support given to men’s intramurals? Justifiable, perhaps, if the male-female ratio is higher than 9 to 1. Is it? (Funny thing...it’s under 4 to l! ) But you lovely young things just adore football players, they’re so brawny-and they stay that way on your $22 a year.

But things aren’t really so bad, now, are they-after all, this year the entire men’s intramural program gets more money than the football team-not counting coaches, who do it for nothing, don’t they. Last year, men’s intramurals got less than football. Look at the relative numbers of participants, then ask yourself: WHY???? And faculty and staff membersthose of you who pay a woiuntary fee because you want to use athletic facilities-do you know why your fee from $5 to $22? Well, it’s just a convenient number, pulled out of the air because it’s a popular figure here at uniwat, and there’s really no justification for that particular sum. You would have been greatly amused, I’m sure, at the meeting of the Athletic Advisory (“we don’t make policy we only advise”) Board at which your fate was so casually decided. The only real opposition to $22 came from those who wanted the fee substantially higher. At least you have a choice. Us students, well, we’re just students, so we don’t have a choice. We pay. We pay, and we have little knowledge and less control over where the money goes. Sure we

have students on the AAB. A few. Don’t try and tell me a couple of jocks and the leader of the warriors band do very much for my interests-I’ve seen them in action, and I’m not very impressed. So let’s keep at it-the Chevron may have opened the can of athletic worms, but it’s going to take a lot more of us to get the lid off and the worms out of the can. you’ll never get your money’s worth if you don’t speak up. DAVE REES-THOMAS grad them (bag, too, but who gives a purple damn?)

Let’s and

avoid personal look at the facts

attacks

It was not surprising when I saw that some students had comments on the P.L.O. article. What was surprising, criticism was directed against me not the points I put across. Words like “dupe, victim of self-delusion, liar etc.” are not good enough to deny truth and the validity of the Palestinian claim to their land. May I suggest to the mathematician to read some more “factual propaganda surveys” in order to avoid mistakes like saying: “Holy war is out”, and on the same breath, the Arabs are asking for a “pluralistic secular Palestine state.” To the political science expert, note: The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine is not a part of the P.L.O. To hijack a plane does not make the claim of the Palestinians to their land void. All Palestinian guerilla groups denied that they had any hand in the explosions of the Austrian and Swiss planes, -although, apparently, pro-Zionist sources reported that the Popular Front claimed responsibility for the explosions. The Lebanese Ambassador to Canada demanded a retraction from the news agency which reported the claim of the commando group. Lt. Gen. Burns might be a little off, if he said that the Fedayeen are going into another country, meaning Israel. Israel is just another name to the land in which they have homes, fields and orchards. The story about a dog wearing glasses is very childish although I have a great respect for its author. None of the letters to the Chevron deny that the Palestinians are refugees. None denied that the imperial interests in the area and Zionism were the engineers of their expulsion from their homes. The poli sci grad said: “It is too late to expect the Israelis to give up without struggle what they have earned and won with a great loss of lives.” (Didn’t the Nazis win Europe in the same manner?) “There is no right and no wrong, there is only force to determine whether Israel is going to live or die.” In other words “might is right”. Here is how Bertrand Russell saw the situation: “The tragedy of the people of Palestine is that their country was given by a foreign power to another people forthe creation of a new state. The result was that many hundreds of thousands of innocent people were made permanently homeless. With every conflict their num-

bers have increased. How much longer is the world willing to endure this spectacle of wanton cruelty? It is abundantly clear that the refugees have every right to the homeland from which they were driven, and the denial of this right is at the heart of this continuing conflict.” The return of the refugees is considered by the Zionists genocide. How about the old days? Didn’t the three religions exist without any trouble? The Arabs and Jews lived in harmony until the Zionists started their plans for a purely Jewish State. Anti-Zionist does not mean antiSemetic. “They are not synonymous, ” says the poli sci grad, and I agree. Zionism, a small fraction of Conservative Judaism, claims the Biblical “Return to Zion” is political and physical. The Reform sect of Judaism denied such claim in 1885 (The Pittsburg Platform). The Orthodox Jews consider the return, according to Rabbi Dr. Elmer Berger, “the climax of a spiritual process”. According to Dr. Berger, the Conservatives refused to move, en masse, into the World Zionist Organization, during the 1959 biennial convention. In the New York Times of november 18, 1959, Dr. A.J. Heschel, professor of Jewish Ethics and Mysticism at the New York Jewish Theological Seminary, commented on the convention by saying that “he would be unhappy to see the Roman Catholic Church join the Democratic Party.” Peace in the Middle East will come about the moment the refugees are allowed to go back, not verbally but actually. Israel agreed many times, but when the refugees went to the check point they were told by the guards to go to hell. The Palestinians are now fighting because they have nothing to lose except their ‘picnic tents’. Peace talks will have to be between the Palestinians and the Israelis (face to face). This will be as soon as the Israelis are willing to do so. If you search the whole world for something, you just might find it where you started. May I suggest, the same applies to peace in the land which offered so much to bring peace to Humanity. RAMZI

I was both surprised and annoyed after I had read the attack on a certain English 370 professor. It was only the course number and supposedly humorous nickname which allowed me to draw conclusions concerning his identity. Having not enrolled in that particular course, I cannot deny any of the accusations which were made; however, this professor, it seems, was my English 101 professor, and I found him most helpful and highly competent. His efforts to make the course interesting and informative played an important role in helping me decide to major in English. In addition, he proved to be most patient in assisting me and others when the time came to consult him as a faculty advisor. C. EVLL arts 3

b!I Cy Go&k special to Canadian University Press TORONTO-There are radicals ar:ound the Canadian university anti-polluth lese davs who oppose ticon de;fionstrati&s- (6Such tests don’t really affect the power st,ructure, ” goes their argument. Well, that argument by the irreverent minority was laid to rest last week on the stock exchanges both here and in New York. It took only president Richard Nixon’s voice, raised above the rabble of college students and professors, to spark a flurky of action on Wall Street that proved once and for all that: if pollution doesn’t sit too well with living things-at least it’s good for busi-

phi1 elswbrthy,

Columnist Harlow Unger phrased it more colorfully in the Toronto Telegram : “It is little wonder, therefore, that anti-pollution stocks are bucking the trend of the dismal bear market on Wall Street.” In all it is a heartening period for stock brokers. Nixon’s dictum came just in time. At the end of january the DowJones industrial average hovered a scant 31.48 points above its decade low set the day after John F. Kennedy was assassinated.

lism; especially when .- it turns a nice profit.

Before trading picked up in those companies dealing in marketing antipollution, january was marked as the sixth consecutive month of real income decline in the current recession. There is, of course, a word of caution to any investors carried away with the prospects of a “fast buck” to be made in pollution control. Wall Street observers point out that Nixon’s statement, while promising $4-billion in federal funds for sewage treatment, mentions no other figures-leaving the amount promised far below congressional appropriations for last year. Nor are the government agencies charged with enforcing anti-pollution measures in condition to handle their work adequately. The national air pollution control administration, for instance, has suffered staff reductions of more than 10 percent over the last 9 months.

As a Quantum Science Corporation report put it recently: “The growing public awarenesi of pollution problems, and increasing government air pollution control legislation, will produce great investment interest.” -

According to former NAPCA abatement and control director Smith Griswold, the government has not advised industry of the controls necessary for pollution abatement. “Industry won’t install expensive

ness. Within a week, a New York Times survey indicated at least 1,000 companies are “trying to make a dollar by selling anti-pollution technology or equipment. ” Earlier, the National Industrial Board said capital Conference spending on pollution control equipment-for only 248 surveyed manufacturers-climbed last year to over $300 million, or a 24 percent increase. For business, it was proof, once again, that if people-the everyday worker, housewife or college student-are willing to get into the streets and demand reform, their demands will be met. Reform is possible under capita-

gear until it knows what contr &OlS are required, ” Griswold adds. Another difficulty in assessing the future of the pollution cant;rol industry is that only a handful of companies derive the major p art of their sales dollar from involve- ’ ment in the field. Most companies get into the field because they are major polluters themselves, and devise their own control equipment and technology. The result is that, although there is an estimated prospect for a billion-dollar anti-air-pollution industry by 1973, sales are spread out over nearly a thousand companies already. And, as the quantum study points out: “The largest emitter of pollutants, the automobile, offers nq opportunities for outside manui facturers, since the auto industry will be making its own control equipment . ’ ’ Even there change will be slow. Charles Heinen of Chrysler says it will be 1983 before the industry has “achieved an 85 percent reduction” in pollution for each car ’ on the road. Heinen reflects the attitude of most industrialists when he says he won’t be prodded by “sheer demagogic exaggeration of “the number of amateurs raising Cain about the subject of pollution and jumping to easy conclusions. ” So the best description of the current ‘bear’ market for prospective investors to heed right now, comes from Bathe & co. (Wall street brokers) vice-president

Monte Gordon. “This market,” he says, “is like a Chinese water torture. Every disappointing corporate earnings statement is another drop of water . . . wearing this market down.”

Reasearch informationon campus is closed! The Chevron was happy to note that the last issue of the Gazette carried a feature presenting the sources of funds for research on this campus. This is a subject which has concerned us radical staffers for some time. We fully expected to find that the university was implicated in strategic research for the US government or perhaps some project for a giant corporation which would have greatly contributed to ecological damage. Yet, we found no such projects. Something is wrong. Either(1) The US government is really not doing anything wrong and therefore all research in that direction must be beneficial, (2) what’s good for General Motors /‘s good for the country, (3) we are a bunch of no-good sarcastic and ignorant tommies or (4) the report as stated in the Gazette does not tell the story. After consulting with Jerry Rubin and Abbie Hoffman, as well as some representative representatives of the Viet Cong we ruled out the first two possibilities. Willing to table the third, we concluded that the report in the Gazette did not tell all. We then contacted the chairman of the special federation of students committee constituted to investigate research on campus. It seems as though the university is willing to make public the groups, agencies and governments which sponsor and fund research. (It is no longer a shock to see the american military on such lists). However, Dr. Tomecko has refused to make public the letters of application which researchers must submit before funds are granted. These letters of application state the nature of the research and the possible uses to which this research and the possible uses to which this research can ultimatly

be put. It is also interesting to note that the defense research board, in a recent publication stated that research having a direct strategic application would receive-favoured treatment and research which lacked this qualification would probably not be considered. The reason that Tomecko has offered is the one which all Qcademits rely on when they get into trouble-“ no one has the right to invade the privacy of the individual researcher.” Since these letters of application are given in the strictest of confidence, the university officers who are responsible must protect this privileged privacy. The situation is serious. Larry Burko, president of the federation of students said in his inaugural address that this will, in all probability, be our last year on this planet. He could be right. We don’t however, want to simply sit back and drown ourselves in music and drugs-we want to survive. Survival means that we have to get together and make certain decisions which will demand asocial responsibility from people who do things which lead to pollution, lead to war, lead to suffering. Soundsscary, doesn’t it, like Big Brother or something. It doesn’t have to be that way. Sure there will have to be compulsion in certain areas. We must recognize however, that compelling individuals t.\ refrain from doing strategic research is qualitatively different from repression under governments which are indicative of the fascist type. (Medicine and poison both come out of bottles). We wholeheartedly urge the student council committee to use all available pressure to bear upon those who wish to keep information on campus research from the university community.

A Laos Guide by Rvssel Baker WASHINGTON-Suddenly there is Laos out on page one. It is a place, judging from the news reports, where a young man with no pull at his draft board could get killed unless somebody does something clever quickly, which is always unlikely. The following pocket guide to Laos is intended to shed the clear light of information on this crucial corner of the world: ,What is Laos? -Laos is a fertile.area of opium surrounded by the Central Intelligence Agency. It is famous for the historic Plain of Jars, the stalwart Meo tribesmen and a rainy season which if it were to fall into communist hands, might well upset the delicate balance of dominoes now prevailing between the Mekong and the Irrawaddy. Who is the Irrawaddy-The Irrawaddy is not a who, but a what; or, to be precise, a river in Burma, a location so remote from Laos that it has absolutely no bearing at all on the Laotian situation, whatever that may be.

WUC is DEAD C)neof the few remaining bastions of the past has once again successfully repulsed the onslaught of progress. The community of social concern developed within Waterloo Lutheran University was a result of an attempt by students and faculty to come to grips with the problems that face our world. They felt that because traditional roads to learning were not capable of dealing with the world about us new avenues of learning must be opened. The problems of pollution, overpopulation and nuclear war are products of our hide-bound traditional educational systems. The alienation of man from himself and nature can not be dealt with from the same basis that produced these ills; yet the resources of the universities are needed to provide the information necessary to put us on the road to a better life. The students and faculty members within the community want touse the facilities,in new waysto explore alternate routes to

knowledge-and they tried to talk the traditionally-minded senators of WLU into letting them at least give it a try. When the faculty association passed the proposal for approval by the senate, the students thought that there was room within the existing structures for attempts to solve the real issues facing us all. They thought that the senate would see the need for such a programme, and were confident that they could soon settle down and work on the problems they saw. Now that the cards have been shown for all to see: now that the senators have squelched this attempt to do something ccnstructive to get us out of the mess tradition has made for us, students in the community are going to look elsewhere for means to attain their ends. Building a power base of experience in the community over the next year will enable the Lutheran group to crush senate opposition and expose the sham of its stand.

Laos to have any obvious connection, although that the CIA may be up to there cannot, of course, be officially discussea, as one U.S. government never orriciany aiscusses CIA activities, even in old pagodas. Where were we?-We were about to learn how to pronounce “Laos.” If you can pronounce the french article “la” and the german preposition “aus” you are well on the way to success; say, very quickly, “la” and “aus,” and you have it. If your only language is English, and you can say “louse,” you will have it as clearly as most people in the state department. Where does the CIA come in-Through the good offices of one Vang Pau (rhymes with “bang! pow! “) the CIA has rallied freedom-loving fierce Meo tribesmen on the Plain of Jars. Who is Vang Pau-That’s not the question. The real question is, who is Souphanouvong? (rhymes with “you run along”). Who is Souphanouvong -Souphanouvong, leader of the Pathet Lao, is the halfbrother of Prince Souvanna Phouma (doesn’t rhyme with anything), who is the neutralist ruler of Laos and a good guy. Souphanouvong got mad at his half-brother a long time ago and went out into the elephant grass beyond the Plain of Jars to form the Pathet Lao. What did he get mad about?-No one remembers any more. /S this some kind ofjoke?-Not unless you are one of those lucky people who can die laughing. New York Times Service

When Pierre graduated with his B.A. from Jean de Brebeuf College in 1940, he was a confused young man like most of you. He had great ambitions. American Empire persuaded him to further his education. He received his law degree at Universite de Montreal and was called to the bar in 1943. But Pierre, like most young men had an interest in why things are the way they are, so we obliged him. He came down to Harvard where he received his M.A. in political economy in 1945. But he was on to even better things: Ecole de Sciences Politiques in Paris and London School of Economics. We could see he was a young man with promise.
