Seven of the nine candidates. for the federation presidency took advantage of opportunities to express themselves to the electorate Wednesday night. First, in a Chevron press conference, which centered around an attack by the other candidates on Rick Page’s intentions to continue the service organization set up by current president Larry Burko. And then in a forum held in the campus center great hall. At the beginning of the press conference, Jim Chisholm, science 3, a member of the young socialists, unleashed his discontent at the university being oriented towards big business.

meant by the elite in the federation, Duffy said, “The elite is a group of activists on this campus who have banded together in a common cause. They’re the only ones who are willing to go out and do what they feel is right. “They have instilled themselves in a position of power on this campus-the president, the vice-president, certain members of the press. They have gone about instituting what they feel is right for the students. People in charge of the federation of students are petty politicians.” Carl Sulliman, arts 2, said that the federation should become political only when affected by outside events. “. . .the federation becomes political in that it supports and encourages any group of students on this campus which takes up a specific issue. But that issue does not necessarily become a federation policy,” he said. John Hull, arts 3, also attended the press conference, but made no comment... The turnout at the forum was disappointingly low. Duffy again expressed dissatisfaction with the way the federation is run and proposed that students be polled on all issues before a decision is made.

Aujame reasserted that the purpose of the federation is more than to provide good social events and discussed unemployment extensively. Page contended that it is “physically impossible for an organization with compulsory membership to discuss social issues” and indicated that he intended to provide service events only. Mangone charged the present student council as being a “farce-a three-ring circus” because of the “lack of reports” and the “irresponsibility” of, council members, but did not answer when asked by arts rep Paul Dube about his own sparse attendance at council meetings.

‘ ‘I ‘d decide to be president. ” Sulliman said that students should organize as all other groups in society have organized -before they graduate and become indebted. For this reason he does not believe that the federation should be solely concerned with services. “After the parties are over, the headaches are still to be found,” he said. Chisholm said he did “not have a set of election promises, but a challenge to students”. He maintained that the federation must take a stand on such issues as war research on campus, women’s oppression, poverty, and ia unemployment. Walter Horsely missed the press conference but -showed up for the forum. However, before he had a chance to speak bemeeting was called off in order to present scheduled movies. ’ The other candidate, Paul Law-, son, attended neither the press conference nor the forum. The election will be held february 3.

Business ecologries New BSA concert system to benefit -federation Just to prove that the federation has not become completely irrelevant they have announced the recent purchase of $15,000 worth of Altec Lansing sound equipment to be used for Waterloo campus concerts and for rental to other universities. Approved by council two years ago, the federation this year found itself solvent enough to purchase the equipment which will supplement lighting equipment bought under a similar decision last year. A division of technical services of the BSA but commonly known as rip-off sound and lighting, the

venture has already received three bookings for concerts in Waterloo, Hamilton and London for the next month. Vice-president Rick Page explained the idea this way: “Having always had trouble with poor quality sound at our concerts the federation felt that if they bought the _ best equipment available there would be a great demand for the system and an improvement in the quality of our concerts.” Rip-off sound and lighting should pay for itself in the near future and will then become a money making revenue producing investment for the federation. ”

The cost of improving the environmen t “will be particularly heavy at the outset and this priortty assumes equality with, and may in the short run be more important than, other hitherto accepted social priorities, including the maintenance of full employment, increasing real gross national product, etc.,” The twelve page statement released after the conference ended said : “There was agreement that national policies should look toward bringing about a stable population in the United States on a

Council-coti7mbne meeting will probe problem

In the continuing battle to defend a life style which is spreading rapidly among the youth culture, concerned commune defenders have set up a bull session between the Kitchener mayor and council and any commune people w.ho feel that their chosen style of living is being attacked unjustly. On february 1 in the Kitchener city library these people will come together with the serious wish to communicate with each other and discover whether there is any way in which the opposing groups can be reconciled. While it is an open meeting

time and space can permit only those truly interested in this to attend. It is hoped that if this meeting is in any way successful future ‘meetings may be held to keep open the communication. No speakers or panels have been scheduled in the hope that people who attend will be sufficiently involved that small groups will naturally form of themselves. If Sid’s proposed “reign. of terror” on the communes has been troubling you the session starts at 8pm and you’re welcome to attend and tell him so. ’

Professor Matthew Hill of the Anthropology department and the university Grounds Department crew spent last fall creating a dig site on the north campus which summer students will use to receive field experience. Two trenches were dug and filled with archeological material, - artifacts and debris, simulating the accumulation that a field worker would find on an actual site. The trenches were then covered and landscaped. Hill feels that most field provide free labour schools

The course will include field methods of recognition survey, and recording, use of mapping, and avoidance of mistakes which cause destruction of valuable specimens. “With a site such as this a teacher can provide more training and experience in six weeks than a student can get in three years at a real site,” said Hill. The Waterloo lab is the first and only one in Canada.

Canada Poor

OTTAWA (CUP) - In the first national mobilization of the poor and @employed since the depression in the 30%, thousands of Canadians marched Monday to demand changes in government welfare and employment practices. But federal health and welfares minister ’ John Munro adamantly refused poor people access to the federal-provincial welfare conference presently taking place in Ottawa. Against the arguments of militant demonstrators who demanded the right to share in decisions affecting their lives, Munro stated their presence at the conference would “retard freedom of discussion” among ministers and government officials. Mum-o had -been forced to make an appearance after a group of poor people demonstrating in Ottawa occupied a part of the center centennial ’ conference where the federal-provincial meetings are being held, refusing to leave until he met with them. Elsewhere in the country, welfare offices, city councils, provincial legislature and even rich corporations were the focus of demands by the demonstrators, and in many cities, these offices were invaded to force the occupants to deal withe the problems of the poor. The demonstrations were planned by the poor people’s conference which met in Toronto January . 7-10. Though government sponsored, the conference condemned the government for deliberately creating unemployment and poverty. “‘Meanwhile, the real cause of inflation-exhorbitant profits I and rentsremain untouched,” one of their resolutions read. The welfare recipients and working poor at the conference stated the aims of the nationwide demonstrations as a protest against ‘the total failure of the federal and provincial governments to deal with the real case of unemployment and povertythe totally unjust distribution of wealth and power. ” “The sorry record of Trudeau’s government makes it quite clear that it represents the interests of big business and foreign Corporations rather than the people of this country. ” In Toronto, the march on Monday clearly supported the analysis of the conference. Five hundred demonstrators picketed in front of the Toronto-Dominion center, whose towers contain offices of many large corporative enterdemonstrators prises. Later, shifted their attention to the plush head offices of financier E. P. argus corporation. Taylor’s Thirty poor people made their way into the offices, and, supported by other demonstrators stqpped outside the building, demanded that the corporation use some of its annual multi-millions in profits to finance day-care centers, health clinics and alternate schools. Suzanne Polgar, 30, who read the detiands, said “militant action” would be taken if the demands were not met by February 10. The Toronto people also took over welfare offices in protest against late welfare payments, and kept the offices open until 6:.30 p.m. when everyone who had been waiting for assistance was interviewed. Usually the office closes at 4:30 despite lineups of people who are frequently forced to return day after day for help. ’ The demonstration ended at the provincial legislature at Queen’s Park, where the poor people burned a copy of the gen-

demonstrate

era1 welfare assistance act. In Ottawa over 200 people marched on parliament carrying signs “80 per cent of the taxes, 20 per cent of the benefits-is this fair? ” “Just society-just for the rich,” “screw charity” and “the poor must participate in decisions-no more conferences behind closed doors-open the welfare ministers’ conference to the poor.” In the afternoon many of the demonstrators representing the Ottawa tenants’ union, union of peoples’, Hull rehabilitation of local. labor groups prisoners, and poor people from other cities, converged on the conference center where the federal-provincial welfare conference was convened, and occupied a room for three hours until John Mum-o met with them. Mum-o ceded them the right to use the room while the welfare conference continued but gave in to no other demands. One hundred people marched to city hall in Halifax where they confronted Mayor Allan O’Brian with demands to enforce the law against slum landlords, provide more low income housing, and increase the welfare food allotments. In Saint John, N.B., a group of poor people spent the day distributing information booklets to -welfare recipients iristead of demonstrating. Montreal citizens groups held demonstrations at welfare offices all over the city, and sat in at the verdun welfare office to protest the general inefficiency and faulty application of bill 26, a new social aid law which came into effect November 1. In Hamilton over 100 people unemployed or on welfare burned a copy of the federal white paper on taxation in front of city hall while in St. Catharines demonstrators unveiled a statue of the “forgotten man” - a four foot plaster cast of a cartoon figure witli a huge screw through him, and presented it to the city council. In Winnipeg, pickets protesting welfare treatment of young people acted as a prelude, for the ‘ ‘poor people’s parliament, ” held in city hall council chambers by the Winnipeg unemployment committee. Representatives of various citizens gr’oups spoke to a packed gallery of 200 people. Over 80 demonstrators braved 30-below weather to demand full medical coverage for persons on welfare, and access to welfare rights information. They also called for larger welfare payments and the establishment of free day care facilities. The Calgary welfare rights committee called 200 upon marchers “to get together to figure out an economic system that doesn’t require your blood and mine. ” The group had marched several blocks through downtown “we want Calgary chanting work” and burned a copy of the federal white paper in income security at the provincial administration building in Calgary. The protestors said they were fed up with “band-aid solutions” and called on the provincial welfare ministers conference in Otback with solutawa to “come tions to unemploymentr’or not to come back at all.” The first provisional city government of Vancouver was declared at the demonstration on unemployed workers and poor people at city hall.

The demonstration of 200 people turned the area outside the mayor’s office on the third floor of the city hall into a council chamber where the poor proceeded to conduct the business of the provisional government. The provisional government made the following demands : a full-time council for Vancouver which would work to fight for the rights of poor and working people, decentralized civic control, pollution and rent control, provision of low cost housing, cash assistance for those on welfare and an end to foreign domination of the economy. In Victoria the unemployed peoples ’ demonstration was marred by the refusal of BC federation of labor Secretary Bill Haines’ refusal to allow representatives of- Victoria low income group and the unemployed citizens welfare improvement council the right to speak. Seventy-five demonstrators in Prince George BC forced the city council to open the doors of a previously-scheduled closed meeting of poor people. In nearzero temperatures, pensiQners, welfare recipients, mothers, children and young people had marched to the city hall to picket and be heard. n

Fraser Robertson of the Globe and Mail has recently pointed out that there is a game going on in business which ought to be curtailed at once. He was referring to comments made by Douglas Wright, chairman of the committee on university affairs, that industry is measuring a man’s capacities by the number \of semesters to which he has been exposed and the number of years he spent getting a degree. Robertson claims “there is a growing desire on the part of people in industry to acquire professional status. ” He says many people think this means holding responsible positions without the required competence. I Engineers, for instance, are hired by non-engineers as university graduates for management potential, which is supposed to mean academic qualifications. The ability to parrot facts from a textbook has given many employees management positions. which Meanwhile computers, are much better - at parroting than people, are breathing down the necks of these pseudo-managers. What the computer cannot do, at least not yet, is make all the sound judgments that must be made in specific problems. Here, according to Robertson, is the true management role. “ Management is the capability to influence results, but it is mistaken, all too frequently, as the ability to make people and machines do as they are told to do.” His concern is that this false concept of management ability leads to the application of yesterday’s technology to tomorrow’s problems. According to Robertson’s analysis, industry is making a stupid mistake which should be corrected as soon as possible. When one looks into the whole problem, however, it is evident that there are no easy answers, and that if there is a game going on, everyone is playing,

must change

At the initial hiring stage, as university president Burt Matthews pointed out tuesday, there is little else for a recruiter to go on than academic qualification and a superficial judgment from the interview of the candidate. Ross Nixon, of Ontario development corporation, was quick to agree that’ management potential is what companies are after, but it is very difficult to tell a good manager from such a brief meeting. So, into business go all the degree-holders, because they fairly equally qualify for the positions available. After a man is into business, says Mr. Loyst of Stevenson & Kellogg Consulting Engineers, there is a built-in system which he almost has to buy. This system says. professional status is where it’s at. Nixon said money is not -a goal as it has beenprestige lies with professional status and that is the goal for anyone in business. At the same time, business needs manager& Thus there is a demand . for .

Because of the’ value system in business, an employer could not get away with failing to promote good engineers, teachers, doctors, or whatever, to positions of m o r e administrative responsibility. Unfortunately, there is an obvious difference be- , tween a good technologist and a good administrator. Aptitudes required for these different skills are found in different people. Mr. Betty, of technical service council in Toronto suggets managers may be born rather than made. But until &e value system has been changed, there will bethis I drive by all toward positions of authority and decisionmaking. This is not a change that is accomplished through editorials‘or speeches. It is achieved through the realization that esteem is not valid proof of personal success.

Gung’ wars prohibited on sefene campus -Burt Matthews, administration president, issued a statement on Wednesday, concerning “gangs” on campus. “Incidents of violence related to the presence of non-student gangs on the campus have caused grave concern for the safety of our students and other members of the university,” he said. I now wish to state that ‘gangs’ of non-students are no longer welcome on the campus of the university of Waterloo and will be excluded from thetentire campus immediately. ” “The security department of the- university will be taking the necessary steps immediately to

ensure that this is done.” . Federation president, Larry Burko, noted that he w& getting some flak from students and has asked Matthews for a clarification of the statement.

I would like to make a public apology to renison representative Devg Austrom for the statement on my campaign fliers. I mistook another council representative for Mr. Austrom. at a recent federation meeting. I hope Mr. Austrom does not take it as a personal slight. Walter T. Horsley friday

The ability of business to transcend national and linguistic barriers in search of wider and more lucrative markets has evidently been well illustrated in the development of the advertising industry in Quebec. Public relations in Quebec have come a long way since the death of Maurice Duplessis in“ 1959. At that time advertising was primarily an english dominated industry where the standard policy in catering to the whims and fancies of the “hewers of wood and drawers of water” centered upon the mere translation of english ads into french with little if any regard to the grammatical peculiarities of the different dialects. The role of the french-Canadian in the field of public relations was an incidental one. It was, to be exact, an accidental one. Admittedly, english advertising agencies were in great need of qualified personnel who could translate english ads into french. More often than not,‘ the only prerequisites for such a lowly position were a basic knowledge of the french language and an ability to use a dictionary. While most french-canadians in english-Canadian ad agencies, had a tendency to serve as linguistic consultants, their position was nevertheless one of baseness in the advertising heirarchv. In their apprenticeship, those who had taken it upon themselves to become culturally assimilated had managed to develop a somewhat unfamiliar approach to popular taste. It was essentially a progression of the relationship between popular french-canadian culture and the mass media. Most of the public relations ad gimmicks employed by ad agencies had been designed and intended for the Ontario market. To appeal to the large french-canadian market, it was merely a problem of translating english into french. But among those who occupied secondary positions in the english dominated public relations firms, there was a feeling that the ideology of advertising should serve as an index in studying the L french Canadian popular culture, not just a decrepid

on Quebec revolution

old weathervane. The constant frustration of personal ambition among french employees had the appearance of smacking of racism on the part of the ad heirarchy. The growing nationalist movement among middle-class professionals comprised a desire on the part of this new “petitbourgeoisie quebecoise” to gain certain rights from the english as well as to improve upon french-canadian culture itself. But this anti-anglo - saxon dissent did not manifest itself in class conflict. It was a conflict in which the protagonists sought to attain a level of financial independence. It was merely a-question of how long it would take the engiish to realize that the aspiring french-canadian middle-class could effectively be co-opted into submission. A new era of nationalism had been injected into the life blood of Quebec. Pride, vanity, and self-glorification were all associated with the concept of “maitreschez-nous. ” Being french was suddenly the biggest-selling point among public relations firms. French canadians were reminded: “bien parler se respecter,” (by speaking well, we show respect for ourselves and for Quebec). s s_ This definitive appeal to ethnic self-identity was in most ways a response to the almost total lack of knowledge on the part of the french-canadian businessman in utilizing the mass media to shape public opinion and ultimately influence french-Canadian culture. At this time of course, there was a rude re-awakening in french-canadian cultural identity. Appeals to latent nationalist sentiments nurtured in the bitterness of the past were not uncommon. The french-Canadian urban middle-class has, in all estimation, not acquired the prominence which it could, hoped to have acquire. Nor was it completely successful in gaining the respect of ruling english - Canadian elite. The french-canadian consumer market has progressed rapidly and has been transformed from one dominated by the rosary-clutching farmer to one characterized by pseudo-freaks in mustangs and mini-skirt-

ed mannikins. The most important consideration then among public relations firms more recently has been how to exploit “the french-Canadian consumer market.” In a recent edition of Marketing magazine which caters to Canadian advertising and public relations executives, there was a special section on “the French Market.” Many french-Canadians who have gone into public-relations work now specialize as, ad,vertising consultants. Any reference to cultural bias in advertising in Quebec has been used to seduce the nationalistic and liberation minded liberated mentality of the quebecois. Pierre Bleau, president of a Quebec city ad firm, gave a detailed description of the french-Canadian of today. His advice to businessmen advertising in the Quebec market was: l the french-canadian is proud and a respectful approach is essential. _ 9 Quebeckers are susceptible to emotional appeals but because of the improvement of educational standards, serious reason-why copy is essential in most ads. l french-canadians owe more to finance companies than other Canadians and drive more expensive cars than their wealthier Ontario counterparts. l most french-Canadians with money are determined to keep up with the-Pelletiers, and l the best way to approachQuebeckers is through personalities they trust. (like Jean Beliveau and Jean Drapeau perhaps? ) * It is not suggested why these facts may be so. Even if there is an emergence of the french-canadian urban middle-class, a product can be successfully marketed if it caters to the curious socio-political ideas of the potential victim. Even the separatist sentiment pop ul a r among french-Canadian youth can be effectively exploited. According to Jacques Bouthard, president of BCP advertising, “it may sound like a contradiction in terms but the french-Canadian seeks individuality in a mass identity. And any adman who doesn’t realize this has no idea of the standard of advertising in Quebec. )

Arid God said,.“let

the earth bring forth grass....” Genesis 1: 1 1

Dave

Fleming

pring is almost upon us-once again and there is something that all those who blow dope can do for the benefit of the corn’ munity. Planting the seeds which usually come with grass does not icvolve that much time and effort in comparison to the benefits and Sheer enjoyment to be derived from growing a good crop of mother nature’s / 0 wn. Grass is a weed and is quite capable of adapting itself to most cliniatic conditions. lf plan ted in 3 relatively dry and uncrowded area with good exposure to the sun, one can be assured of a good crop. In any case, now is the kine to start saving as many seeds as possible. It is also a good idtia to build up a good variety of seeds. Hopefully;laws against grass will become as useless as laws against rag weed.

Cannabis Sativa is a herbaceous annual, that is, a leafy plant with little or no woody parts that grows for a season, dies down, then springs up again from its own roots. Cannabis will not grow from last season’s roots. Most books and a majority of “heads” claim that only the female plant is useful for smoking, and that the male plant can be smoked as a harmless substitute for tobacco. Anyone who makes such a sweeping generalization is either misinformed or has never had the opportunity to grow his own. The term “marihuana” usually refers to the flowering tops, resin, seeds, and leaves of both the male and female plant, wild or cultivated, which are dried and ground up.

“Hashish” is made from the finest tops of the finest leaves. But the leaves are scraped while sticky, and the resin is extracted. The resinous oily sap is then transformed into hard blocks. “Ganja” is made only from the tops of the finest female plants. Only these leaves are separated, dried and ground UP* Thus it is ridiculous to make the generalization that only the female plant is useful for smoking. Each crop must , be tested to determine its potency, because cannabis differs with the geographical area in which it is grown. It is conceivable that the male bottom leaves in one crop could be more potent than the female top in another. Cannabis does particularly well in areas where the soil is disturbed yearly. Flooded plains provide an excellent medium for growth. Shady stable areas are one of the worst areas to plant seeds. Not. only will the resin count be minimal, but the plant could possibly fail to flower. It can be readily assumed that where dandelions and similar weeds flourish, grass will do even better. If grass is grown in a climate which is sunny and hot and the soil is dry, the fiber will be brittle and the leaves will be covered with resin, The grass plant secretes this resin for protection. The resin protects the leaves and flowering tops of the plant from the sun. As a plant reaches the flowering stage, it will send as much resin as needed to the flowering tops to protect itself during the reproduction cycle. The female plant carries the seed and lives a longer life than the male; thus it will secrete more resin. I

Selecting

a site

Selecting a site should be given careful consideration. It is relative to the quality of your crop. Reputedly, the best crops are grown by transplanting the plants after they are several weeks old. Because only 30 to 50 percent of the seeds actually germinate, most crops are started in small planters to enable the grower to detect which seeds are most likely to grow into plants. Upon seeing the number of plants which can be expected to grow, the grower can .plan accordingly and transplant to the final growing area, whether it be indoors or outdoors. The height and bushiness of your plants are relative to the density of the crop. If however, -one does not have the time or energy to follow the transplanting routine, simply planting outside is adequate.

Se’lecting

an outdoor

site

Growing a crop outdoors involves various considerations in this country. One must contemplate such things as climate, terrain, area, police surveillance, area police knowledge, and time of year.

For obvious reasons, one should plant or transplant the crop after the last frost of the winter season. In most cases this ’ will be in late april or early may. If you are in a location where the sun is not particularly strong, or where it might rain a lot in late august or early September, it is not advisable to plant the crop outdoors. A weak sun will produce a small resin count and constant rain will wash a good deal of resin from the plant. The re- , sult will be good hemp rather than good grass. Your crop of lovely innocent little virgin grass plants will need a minimum of 8 hours a day of sunlight, so it is a good idea to select a site which is open (accessible to the rays of the hot summer sun) and dry; the side of a hill, an open meadow, or a plain next to a stream or river will allow a good 12 hours of sunlight each day, and the plants can easily be watered from the nearby stream. Do not plant your crop in an area where periodic traffic will arouse any suspicion from the area residents. It is a sure bust. If you are having difficulty finding a’ suitable site to plant your crop, you might want to try “intercropping,” which means growing your grass crop among other crops. For instance, you can intercrop grass with corn or sunflowers and there is little chance of detection. Since plants excrete waste products into the surrounding soil, they have a definite influence on the neighboring crops. This excretion can either be toxic or nourishing to other crops. Grass thrives when planted next to such vegetables as brussels sprouts, cauliflower, broccoli, cabbage, beets, sunflowers and corn. Corn and sunflowers are especially good intercrops since their growth pattern enables them to_ hhide your crop.

Selecting

an indoor

to tell about your indoor farming). An empty closet is a perfect place, but a bigger crop can be grown in an attic, base- j ment, or empty room. Growing plants in windows is risky, and they fail to receive the proper sunshine. It is good to keep in mind that once a crop has begun to grow, it will be agonizingly difficult not to inform at least a few friends of your horticultural experiments. Consequently it is inadvisable to grow an indoor crop if there are about 20,0r 30 people over to your place every week. Seemingly, the only disadvantage to growing an indoor crop is psychological. For one thing, the grass doesn’t resemble good mexican weed. An indoor crop retains its natural bright color. It doesn’t even taste like grass. It is so fresh that it smells like alfalfa or new mown ‘hay. Sometimes it looks quite a bit like parsely. Rest assured that it will be as good or even better than shit bought from the dealer.

Obtaining

the seeds

Seeds can be found in almost any quantity of grass which is of decent quality. It is also possible to purchase them from friends. According to a few local sources, an ounce of seeds is at this time more expensive than an ounce of grass. If your grass contains few if any seeds, I’d be somewhat skeptical of its quality, unless of course the person who sold it to you cleaned all the seeds out for himself. In this case, demand your rights. . Seeds are a good indication of the quality of grass, since they are produced only by the female of the species, and are found only at the top and most potent part of the plant. When trying to separate the seeds - from the grass, it is a good idea not to use a metal collander ; the constant and harsh rubbing of the seeds against the metal will damage the seeds. However it is possible to use shoe box or similar container. If the box is shaken back and forth a number of times, the seeds will tend to stay at one end and the grass at the other.

site

It is entirely possible to grow an entire crop indoors with the proper artifical lighting. Indoor farming has many advantages, for the climate can be controlled perfectly, and a crop can be grown the year round with the chances of detection minimal (or directly proportional to the number of persons you choose

Selecting

the seeds

Any seed found in a quantity of grass is capable of growing into a plant, as long as the seed is not over three years old. The seeds remain fertile for only a few years. In general, the larger. the seed, the greater is the chance that it will germinate. The ideal seed (if such a thing, exists), is comparatively large, well-rounded, and blackish in color. If you have a good supply of seeds and a limited planting area, choose only the large dark rounded seeds. Continued

AUJAME:

YES. The federation of students is, adcording to its charter, a non-profit organisation. No profits should be made on events sponsored by the federation. As to the conflict between the federation and different societies, it arises essentially from the relationship between them: the independence of the societies from the federation. Students have no need to be members of both of them. Either the societies become non-compulsary, or they become the basic units of the federation; through them, the student council is elected-the federation, where I was last year was organized on that basis (I was a member of the student council). The students have thus more control on the federation’s policy, as each elected member is directly responsible to a smaller number of students. This also means changing radically the “actual stamp” of the societies, that they stop being “corporate” institutions, but really defend the students they represent. CHISOLM:

THE FEDERATION must continue to attempt to end profiteering through social events by offering exactly the same event at a drastically reduced price. The student council should also take up the question of profiteering in our bookstore and cafeterias. Specifically, the federation in conjunction with the faculty must assume control over these facilities in order to run them on a nonprofit basis and consequently offer the same product at a reduced price. /

DUFFY:

BULLSHIT! I feel that the students, if they desire, should be protected from profiteering; however I do not feel that the present elite of the federation of students is in a position to claim that they have protected students from profiteering. -b HULL:

YES, I believe the students should be protected from profiteering through social events. It wa,s an innovative idea to show films, have dances and pubs in order to raise money to pay for someone’s university career. However, I don’t think this profit should come from exploiting other students who are anxious to attend these events, but have to undergoundue stress on their budget. Students have a right to a full and rewarding social life at minimal ex-

HORSLEY:

I THINK the students should -be protected from the profiteering of one student group, such as the federation of students itself. There is no guarantee that the federation, backed by student money and claiming it was running on break-even policy, was not ripping-off the students. With this type of system there is no devil’s advocate. Just because prices are low it does not mean that some individual in the federation is not capable of pocketing money. I do not personally believe in a cultural commissar running all events. I believe that social events should be in the hands of a number of groups officially representing students. The societies full that role. They should have control of running all social events on campus at close to the break-even point. This would be accomplished by a reduction in federation fees, and an advised increase society fees, which will remain voluntary. I continue to wonder about this break-even policy. If this works successfully, the federation should have, after paying all past bills, the same amount of money as it started out with. I also wonder why the past federation, with an 80,000 dollar budget could not bring in a number of really bigname groups. When one gives too much money to one group of people they tend to lthrow it around, and generally in the wrong directions. Editor’s note: ThA is no federation fee. The fee to which candidate Horsley is referring is a compulsory activity fee set and levied by the university ls board of governors.

LAWSON:

THIS SEEMS to be a biased question in sympathy with the present federation policy of restricting different societies’ sources of income in order to gain price control. Authentic societies underwrite trips, guest speakers, social events as pubs and movies and help pay the cost of society newspapers that strengthens internal communications in the faculties they represent. If the students aren’t willing to pay the prices, they won’t and the societies will be obliged to lower their prices. Besides, the societies are taking the certain economic risks, why shouldn’t they be allowed the benefits of their work; the. federation isn’t going to defray the loss.

I believe that the “National student conference”, organized by federations of students in Canada, with the support of trade-unions, is the necessary step. The federation cannot say tomorrow “strike, demonstrate against unemployment ’ ’ . Students should find the means them-

MANGONE:

“PROFITEERING” is a “Burke” term, and since he will not hold office for much longer, let’s d,iscard it forever. If you see the ‘term “protect students”, we should call the federation “Mother”. Profiteering is as insecure a word as I’ve heard. Each individual society can decide for itself whether or not they are profiteering. If a society holds a pub, charges $1.50 to get in and no-one shows up, then that’s their loss, not the federation’s. If the reverse happens, then that means that the students were in fact willing to pay the price, eSpecially if there’s a top ’ rock group available. All power to that society! Let them manage their own affairs without any help from “Mother Burko”. Let the students decide- what they want to pay, they’re old enough! ! PAGE:

I FEEL THAT the federation should definitely protect the students from profiteering, but this should not be done in a manner which hampers the programs of societies and clubs on campus. The federation should, however, run a weekly, low cost break-even social program so students will have the option of attending low cost events if they desire. Federation programs should be run in cooperation with other groups on campus so other groups will have a chance to raise money to subsidize their projects. The federation cannot exist if it does not work with the societies and clubs, and this can only be achieved through cooperation. SULLIMAN:

DEFINITELY yes! The officers of the federation have been elected to a position of extreme responsibility and entrusted with a corporate treasury handling in excess of $380,000 annually. The obligation is mutual between ‘elector’ and ‘elected’ to achieve maximum value at minimal cost. Federation policy must respond positively and act decisively on behalf of the students not only in relation to ‘sandbox ,events’ (i.e. pubs, dances, socials, concerts), but the additional non-luxury goods and services of food, lodging, tuition and textbooks must also be our concern. My election will indicate a mandate from the students of this university to act with confidence in dealing with ‘would-be entrepreneurs’ in the areas of student needs which I have outlined.

students in massive numbers and demand from the government “Jobs for All” - not merely for students. Stu_dents don’t want to take away jobs from others; they want jobs related to their fields of study. The federation will have to point out that the job crisis is not due to an “overabundance” of students and skilled labor - since there are also hundreds of thousands of unskilled, semi-skilled and even professional people unempolyed - but that the problem- lies with this system that artifically creates a pool of unemployed labor that can be used as a wedge to keep down wages and fight inflation. The federation must be in the forefront of the’struggle to achieve a system that orients to the needs of people and not the profits of a few big businessmen. Moreover, the federation must put forth the demand that the government should completely assume the expense of tuition, books and residence. Cutting out our financial obligations to NATO would be the first step that the government could take to finance this project.

Past member,

HORSLEY:

HOW CAN the federation help the unemployed? One way to help solve this dilemma is to create a council that will sit around and discuss the issues, such as the campus-center board did with that issue. This council will, as in the past, be made up of social idealists who will simply love to discuss the problem and resolve absolutely nothing. Of course with a quarter of a million dollar budget I cannot see why the federation could not give loans to students in need. Government loans are also possible and the federation should assist students in that area. LAWSON:

THIS IS an important issue. Not only do students have financial difficulties during their off-term, but also while at university.* There is, however, a student elite (certain members of the heirarchy of the federation of students) which currently receives on-campus monies far in ex-’ cess of what is considered necessary by the department of university affairs. I suggest that part-time jobs under the auspices of the federation of students be redistributed to include a larger proporation of the student body. As well, the federation, should be in a position to pressure the administration, to obtain more outside jobs, and the tri-semester year should be investigated in terms of its effect on student finances and summer unemployment.

NO, WE shouldn’t try to govern the country when far better institutions than ours exist. This doesn’t mean we couldn’t make suggestions if we had solutions to some of our country’s problems. Rather, we should concern our efforts to realistic objectives on campus such as change, liberty and democracy. NO, THEY can not! It is all part of the economic condition of Canada! The co-ordination department may do something, not the federation! STUDENT

Three/Considering the faculty association’s demand for increased salaries ratio in the proposed unicameral structure, do you think it is possible AUJAME:

STUDENT-FACULTY solidarity is necessary, therefore it is possible. The objective ground for such-solidarity lies in that professors are here to educate (give knowledge), not select, students and that students need more better-paid instructors. When the faculty association’s demands increased salaries, it is the duty of the students, through the federation, to bring their support. When student no cut back in teaching assistantships, to take just one example, it is the duty of the faculty to support them. The question of the number of seats to allocate . to students is a false one which will always divide faculty and students as long as it is taken from the point of view _ of student-faculty control.

STUDENT-FACULTY solidarity, here as well as on most Canadian campuses is not only possible-it’s necessary. / There are many areas in the university for which student-faculty control is the only democratic solution: course content, hiring land firing, better working/learning conditions, etc. The struggle which eventually must evolve is not stu-

THE governments of this land must not go unchalleng\ ed by the students of this land. Both governments, federal and provincial, are inescapably responsible: Ottawa for a humiliating unemployment and underemployment situation, and Queen’s Park for educational costs which the student must pay through staggering indebtedness. The facts are clear in this university - graduate studies are being cut back and it is only a-matter of time before this situation settles into the undergraduate level. Distinct possibilities of increased tuition and a reduction in the grant portions of awards cannot be tolerated much less accepted by the students of this province. The’ federation president of this university representing the earnest concerns of his fellow 12,000 students must, in consultation with other federation presidents in this province, make our financial plight known through forthright dialogue with the government officials of this province and country,.

For example, the war research that our campus is now involved in could be supplanted by research to produce a safe birth control pill that is free of any adverse side-effects. DUFFY:

IF AN INCREASE in faculty salaries meant an increase in tuition fees, then I would tend to think that this would not facillitate student-faculty solidarity. However, I am not convinced that there is a direct relation between the salary increase and the proposed 2-to-1 faculty-student ratio as this question implies. HULL:

national unemployment crisis. The federation h.as, in past years, attempted to work on a national scale through the Canadian union of students. This organization proved ineffective in dealing with these problems and was rejected by many universities including our own. The organization finally dissolved. Students don’t seem to have the power to effect change on a national scale. A clear-cut solution to this problem does not seem apparent at this time. What we can do is encourage people’s creativity on “make functional work” projects like Camp Columbia, which is a student-run camp for underprivileged kids, operated through the federation. Also, if the federation continues providing more and more services at cost, the students will have a much easier time existing at school.

Unemployment is increasing in Canada. The federation budget is of course, not large enough to alleviate all the financial difficulties of the unemployed students. However, the federation could open a central employment office for all jobs available to students on campus. Lines of communication would be kept open between the federatiqn office and personal and job counselling.

Both questions three and four are completely irrelevant to this election. They are merely red herrings dragged out in order to cloud the seas of truth, or as one eminent professor’ stated : “It would be like a beetle pushing a ball of shit up a hill.” These questions were prepared with a view to discovering something about the candidates. They are, however limited to the issues four people consider a valid plat-

form. My concerns include those aspects of student government but are not limited to these areas asked by the chevron. 1 HORSLEY:

THE ENTIRE unicameral issue remains in the air. Matthews promised to keep it open for another three or four years, iron out all difficulties between all interested groups, and then bring the proposal to Toronto. So the issue is not as pressing as it can be made out to be. I, for one, do not wish to get into a numbers game with the faculty or anyone else. But if the federation of students is to be considered a legal student corporation with the students demands in mind, it should not back down from its demand for equal representation in government. The students must have a voting block. That is why I disagree with the 2-l faculty-students ratio. Right now the issue is student solidarity on campus. Student -faculty solidarity is something to work forward for. LAWSON

THIS IS another vague academic question that reaches trivial proportions. The main problem is finding concerned students capable of representing the interests of the

AUJAME:

NO. I do not believe student-faculty control is possible. As the brief written by the student members of #he university act committee rightly says: “The uniJersity is an institution which has been integrated into 2 world system of institutions.” Universities cannot be .slands of “democracy,” of “democratic control,” of :socialism.” It is to give illusions to students to have ;hem believe that student-faculty, or even student-facllty-community control is possible, is possible. To say 50 would mean that the university-or the community -is an independant part of society, that it can work on ts own, with its own rules. Let’s take an example: the Ontario government has just announced its intenion of cutting down by $1.5 million, graduate fellow;hips. What can student-faculty control do about that? Protest. Mobilize students. But in that case, may I isk, why do we have a federation, why is there a facrlty ‘s association.

The main point about conflict of interest between students and professors is that the conflict is superficial and the differences reconcilable. -There is a fundamental community of objective interest between students and faculty and accordingly the attitudes of both can change from what they are now. Until each group sees the community of interest (and afterwards, guarantees a hearing to the different, but not conflicting specific interests of each, ) some form of equal representation in decision-making is necessary. To be effective the decision-making structure must be such as to ensure the dependence of representatives on higher bodies downward to the grass roots - the individual students and faculty members.

THE STRUGGLE for a student voice in university affairs is commonly seen as a struggle against the pfofessor. This is because the main day-to-day contact of the student is with the professor: and so he is seen as the

ALTHOUGH THE federation brief is now two years old, I feel that it does have some validity, specifically with respect to section 20 in that the university should have jurisdiction only over the academic conduct of the people within the university. Regarding section 12, I agree with the act’s recommendation that there be at least one student representative from each faculty. The fault with the federation’s recommendation that students be chosen from the university constituency at large is that this could result in a situation where some faculties had no representatives at all. It is important that the act be under review for sometime after implementation so that possible inequities can be corrected on a continuing basis.

THE MAIN FUNCTION of the governing body ;hould be to organize the university community to atain their justified rights. Most issues on campus, like tontent of courses, disciplining procedures, the right o free day care centers, and ending war research on tampus, affect faculty and students equally. Con;equently students ,and faculty should cooperate tozether to achieve what they feel is just. This can be nost affectively done in the context of one centralized toverning body composed of equal numbers of faculty urd students. When issues come up that specifically concern faculty or students, sub-committees of the nain governing body could be initiated. This centralized governing body should also have ‘epresentatives from the campus workers and the comnunity at large so that the university can be more ,esponsive to the needs of the community. Specifically he university should grantthe use of its facilities to brganizations such as trade unions, unemployed, In ti-pollution and women’s liberation groups.

THE QUESTION is historical. It calls upon me to evaluate that which has been-Mr. Burko’s administration. It occurs to me that Mr. Burko’s concurrence with a faculty formulated plan of a 2: 1 (faculty-student) ratio of representation is not the important issue facing us. What is important to the students of this university, if we are formulating a unicameral structure of government, is that the present plan allots orlly 50 per cent representation to be divided between faculty and students. The other 50 per cent remains in the hands of the -university administration; clearly they are in command of the structure. The core issue is a democratic ‘three-way’ parity of power amongst administration, faculty and students. , Some say the demand for equal representation is pointless: professors wield great informal power; attitudes like apathy and mistrust must change first. .But power does not have metaphysical existence separate from bodies who exercise it, and the point is to shift power into representative bodies. Attitudes change only as the process of democratization proceeds, not before it.

IT’S HARD to comment on a position when you don’t know what it is. And I venture to say very few people do. I suppose it has to do with the present federation policy of decreasing political involvement, but in prematurely anticipating and acting on that policy, the present federation is abandoning the only political voice the student body has. Some are adjusting to the apparent reality of apathy, a manifestation of the mass input our society demands. This domination of our action and thinking represses the initiative for control of SO,

‘LAWSON:

and if

THE FEDERATION’S stand on unicameral government, in my opinion is a good one. The major issue is one of who should have control of the governing of the university. During the past year I have been a representative of the federation on the committee studying unicameral government. It is my feeling that the control of the university as an educational institution should rest in the hands of those who are involved in education. Students ‘and faculty have discussed this several times and the result has been the federation and faculty associations briefs, asking for joint studentfaculty control of the university government.

I HAVE ALREADY stated that this issue is not that pressing, even though you have dedicated two- questions to it. I do agree with the federation of student’s present stand. Personally I like to look to examples. The Ontario college of art is supposed to have a unicameral system and is having great problems. Yet university of western Ontario has the old system and seems to be doing just fine.

hieved stronger connections with faculty than has ever existed before. The two-to-one faculty-student ratio in the unicameral structure probably is the most evident form of this solidarity. The federation agreed with the faculty association that some real change was necessary in the university government structure. The result in the faculty association brief suggested joint control of the governing body by students and faculty. If increased salaries for faculty means thatthe standard of education increases in a similar proportion, then I cannot see how student-faculty relationships are going to suffer,

Y=klSHOLlvl: THE FEDERA-TION should be in the forefront in the struggle to end women’s oppression. Concretely the fedekation must demand that the university completely subsidixe facilities for free day care /cent& with professional staff that would be accessible to the children of students, faculty and campus workers; for all parents in the university community-not merely a limited sector. Abortion referal ‘clinics that would advise pregnant women in need ofhe$ ~must be set up. In conjunction with this the federation must launch a vigorous campaign to establish the right of all women to free abortion on demand. Moreover free birth control devices must be distributed through the health facilities. The university with aid from the government must assume the expense of these services. Further, the use of our facilities for research or projects like AF-AFQSR-I274-67/( Fundamental processes in solid propellant ignition) for the U.S. air force or the research done for the Cyanamid of Canada which produces artillery propellants must be ended in favor ,‘of opening our facilities to organixations like anti-war, anti-pollution and native groups tiich are endeavouring to end the ills of our soqiety. DUFFY: IS-THE Chevron, by questions one and five, imply- ing that the federation elite should be the only group to promote “revenue producing” functions? J ’ I .I HULL: ’ THE FEDERATION should make funds available for the creation of alternatives to the services already offered by the administration. One such service could be other outlets offering better food at cheaper prices. These and other services could be’owned and operated’ by students, therefore relieving a bit of the pressure on the unemployment situation.

One of the reasons, of course, is the pressure of their work, of the exams, but the isolation from the rest of society in which students are placed by studying in universities is also important. I do not believe that consciousness of social problems arises entirely spontaneously, so that. objective conditions only make you grasp only some aspects , of social problems but not their whole determination.

If courses were more concerned with the impact of learning and technology on society rather than creating automatons for big-business, then the danger of the student getting swallowed inside a test tube’would no longer exist. For example, instead of courses making value-free judgements, of societies most courses could be designed to come to grips with the burning issues of the day like pollution, women’s oppression, the war in Vietnam and the oppression of our native people.

In terms of hours, I see few problems. Students are aware of social problems ,of course, they disagree as to causes and solutions; that’s where-coordination comes in, that could be an important role for the federation of students. I do not think that the views of one sector of -the student population should be inlpOS8d upon another sector for the “good” of all. ‘,HORSLEY: THIS SEEMS to be another example of the chevron’s ability to ask irrelevant questions.

Considering that this is the first year of competition for’ our male squashers, we fared quite well. In the team standings, as expected, Western and York battled for top honours, this time it was the Mustangs edging the Yeomen 12l/2-12.

The university of Toronto swimmers, last ” year’s O-QAA champions, proved to the chagrin of the Warriors’ that they were still a pretty fast team Saturday in Toron to. Even though the Uniwat squad came away on the short end 83-30, they know the Blues can be k taken in many of the events at this year’s finals in Kingston. Waterloo’s Lester Newbv put on a fine display of diving, out pointing Toronto’s Alex Lau on both the one and three metre boards. The Blues on the other hand dominated the swim lanes winning ten of eleven events but were pushed to keep in front of the strong Warrior swimmers. No less than five pool records were smashed by Toronto. Holfe McEwan came in with the only Warrior victory by staying two yards ‘in front of a frustrated but game Blues competitor Chris Hockingham throughout the entire 500 freestyle race. McEwan went a fast 5:43.7, lowering his best previous time by some nine seconds. Warriors Brad Walker drove two Toronto swimmers, Alex Fedko and Boss Balantyne to total exhaustion in the 200 yd butterfly and 290 yd breaststroke

Although the Mustangs have the poorest record in the division, they have recently showed slight signs of improvements. They went eight, games before winning. Their present record is one win (5-3 over Guelph ) , five losses and three ties. The Mustangs record is a result of their goaltending.

Many rebounds were missed and Lutheran did not fail to capitalize on this fact. Playing well for the Warriors despite their shaky team effort and general slow play were Laaniste, who made several fast recoveries and fine shots to capture 21 Points, Bilewicz with his usual jumping ability who grabbed off rebounds from the‘persistent Hawks and succeeded in netting 13 points besides, and S’harpe who again played an all-round drivinggame andfinished with 14 points to his credit. Unfortunately the rest of the team did not share the vitality that these players displayed and the result was almost boring. Top scorers for Lutheran were Clouthard with 23 and Stan with IS.

Meanwhile Gay Seagram was still waiting at the start and knowing first place was out, skied to better her position, this she did as her 45.1 second leg placed her in fifth at the end of the competition. Shelagh Tippett held on to tenth spot with a steady performance in the late stages of the second run. Perhaps the strangest runs of the day were turned in by an ineligible performer. It was Cindy Fifke (US National ‘b’ team) who did both legs in the identical times of 41.6 seconds. Waterloo’s two other competitors although not in the thick of the competition after the first run displayed good team effort, as both Lee Anne Burrows and Blair Seagram lowered their times in the second run. Blair if not for trouble in the first run would have finished high up in the standings. The men took over the hill and except for the odd girl rerunning the course because some idiot had skied onto the course and through her path, they closed the meet. Hess again was upstaged in the afternoon test as another teammate Ron Crook set a blistering standard of 37.4, Hess only a tenth behind easily captured the individual honours by six tenths of a second over Doug Irwin. Mike Brown from Waterloo gave a good account of himself and had the seventh best run of the afternoon and finished tenth overall. Viets maintained his ‘position in this segment and edged Brown for ninth. Other Warrior finishers inFred cluded John Thompson, Holmes, and Eagleson, who all bettered their times in the second run. With this year’s meet now in the books, it is time to analyze the Waterloo effort. For a team that doesn’t have any top names and only dedicated skiers, who have listened and learned from Fred Holmes, our fourth in the girls’ competition and the men’s fifth are quite remarkable. With any luck, the experience gained here, will only be of help february 12, at Montreal. That takes care of the competitive skiers, but there are still those members of the ski club who donated their opportunity to ski on this beautiful day, to help make this meet what it was. Our ski 1 team is lucky to have this type of individual. Just think if every school did, there would be more meets of this caliber and so more improvement in Canadian skiers.

Beware the Silent Majority

HEN A SIGNIFICANT group of people become sufficiently angry, they organize. In Edmonton a new organization, calling itself the Silent Majority, has recently appeared. The silent majority has grown out of a group of mostly middle class people who feel they are being called upon to shoulder most of the burdens of society. The key to understanding this group is given in their first publicity folder sent out last november. It says: “Too often the views of the individual citfizen are lost in the impersonal complexity of our world.” The people of the silent majority feel put upon and voiceless, or, as modern radical rhetoric likes to say it: ‘oppressed’. In terms of its origins, the silent majority represents a reaction against powerlessness, but what are the aims of the organization? Except in terms of -&imply giving people a voice, the goals of the silent majority seem ill-defined. When I talked to Wayne Vleck, organizational secretary of the group, he said he could not speak for the group on any issues except those on .which the membership had already been -polled.

“What

can I do?”

“A person may have ideas on an issue, but he may say ‘What can I do?” and react “apathetically,” said Vleck. “To a certain extent he is right-he can do nothing.” He can write to his member of the legislature or of parliament, but what reaction does he g&t? The member sends him a form letter and forgets about him. “The object of the silent majority is to get to the opinions of these people, and then take to their representatives an expression of the ideas gf a large group who cannot be so’ ignored. ” I asked Vleck how the organization went about obtaining the opinions of the membership. _ “We receive suggestions from the members of the group, ” he said. “We then prepare facts sheets and questionnaires which we sent out to the membership at large.” “These questionnaires are returned to, us and we correlate and tabulate the results. The people who are in a position to effect the wishes of the group are then shown L the results. “‘Ithat is not the end of it, however,” he went on. “We intend to keep after these people and see that something is done. If they don’t do anything we intend to make sure that the people are reminded of it at the next election.” Vleck told me of the results of the first poll taken by the group. It was on the subject of pensioners receiving some form of tax relief. Of those responding, 72 per cent approved of special tax relief for pensioners, and 90 per cent of those said that relief should come from all levels of government. I asked if the fact sheet had made clear that the diffeience would probably- have to be made up in increased taxes for many of the members of the organization. “No, it didn’t,” he said, “we assumed that the members would think of it themselves.” I was somewhat disturbed by the fact sheets so I asked Vleck if he did not think this constituted influencing the opinion of the group at-the ‘Asame time as it was being solicited. He admitted this was a possible danger of the fact sheets, .but disclaimed any intention of trying to influence the opinions being solicited. “We try to select an issue with which we think people will have some degree of familiarity, -and then present a fact sheet which gives an unbiased review of the facts.” ,I pointed out that there really is no such thing as an ‘unbiased’ review of a set of facts. He conceded that this was so. “But,” he said, “we try to be as fair as possible.” Later he read one fact sheet from a questionnaire on unions in Canada. The sheet made mention of unions sending ‘millions of dollars’ to international offices with little return to show for it. The sheet made no mention

i 738 the Chevron

of union claims that 4nternational unions are necessary to fight international corporations, and that international unions provide a larger reserve of support .for funding 3 the union operations. I questioned this omission, and Vleck apologized for it, saying that they were ‘relative neophyte’ in their work and were trying to improve their presentations constant1Y. At this point I interjected that the results of the poll had probably been/much affected by such an omission. (The results were: 82 per cent in favor of/forcing hnions to be strictly Canadian, 91 per cent wanted union books to be open to public inspection, and 83 per cent sai! that unions should be subject to compulsory arbitration). I also asked why similar questions had not been asked about corporations. Vleck dismissed this by saying that it was a much more complex question in the case of foreign ownership. “Those who come out in opposition to foreign investment,” he said, “don’t point out that 80 per cent of our standard of living is the product of foreign investment.”

Millions

of dollars

“International unions simply take millions of dollars from our workers with virtually no return. The incrtiased wage that members get is taken in dues to pay the salaries of ‘fat-cat union officers.” Do you know how much a clerk in one of those international offices earns?”

by Dick from

the

university

Nimmons Gateway of

(CUP)

Edmonton

I did not know that answer, but I assume ihat I am supposed to think that a clerk in the office of an international union receives a salary far out of proportion to the sort of work he does. The statement that the question of foreign ownership is much more complex than the union question means that the silent majority will not be polled on the issue. Earlier in the interview I had asked Vleck if there would be a poll of the membership on the white paper on tax reform. Vleck had said there was too little understanding of the complex problems entailed in the tax paper for it to be dealt with by a few questions. The same rule of thumb applied to other complicated issues such as drugs, the freeing of the Canadian dollar, and foreign ownership. I asked what sort of issues could be dealt with. Wouldn’t most important questions be similarly complex?‘ Vleck said- he thought that certain issues’ could be dealt with in a fairly straightforward manner, for example, pollution. He went on to say that a fact sheet was being planned on the basis of information which they hoped to get from STOP. The aim of this questionnaire on pollution would be to find out what sort of action the members of the silent majority would like to see taken against pollution and polluters. The grpup will then press the government and industry for those actions. The silent majority has asked STOP to do the background research for them because they do not have the resources to do detailed studies of such issues for themselves. In the publicity folder, the group says it intends to represent precisely the position taken by the membership. I asked Vleck if this sort of function could not be better fulfilled by public opinion surveys, which would tell the government the opinions of the whole of society rather than simply that of the members of his group.

Lobby

of the middle

class

I then learned that the silent majority was intended to be a lobbying group for the middle class. (Despite the fact that the folder states that any concerned citizen may join. )

’

“After all, the middle class winds up paying for most of the government’s projects,” he said, “Why shouldn’t they lobby to get the money spent in the way they want?” Every minqrity group has their lobby, why should we, the majority, be the only ones who don’t? I then asked who lobbied for the poor. “Every damn politician in the country! ‘-’ he answered. “There is always some new welfare project on hand,” he added. “There is so much money being paid out to people by welfare nowadays that people are saying ‘Why should I work when I can do better on welfare: and quit-w ting their jobs.” I asked how he knew this. “Everybody knows it,” he said, “just ask them.” So far I have only been able to get middle-class people to answer this in the affirmative. At this point Vleck asked me not to confuse his ideas with those of the membership, but I would guess from the survey about unions that the outcome of a survey on welfare would be about the same as the opinions of Vleck. I also inquired about the future plans of the silent majority insofar- as the -development of the organization is concerned. Vleck replied that the group first intends to broaden its membership in Edmonton to get a representative group here, and will then try to get chapters of the silent majority started in other cities in Canada. “Eventually,” he said, “we intend to have a large, cohesive, and representative group right across the country. ” I asked if the group would not wind up’ appealing only to those who agreed with the opinions already expressed by the group rather than a cross-section of people interested in the issues brought forward to the group. Wouldn’t people who disagreed with the previous opinions expressed tend to form their own groups along similar lines?

Become

members

of the Silent

Majority

Vleck said it would not be in the interests of such people to form their own groups. It would be better for them to become members of the silent majority and influence the opinion expressed by voting within the organization. “In Quebec,” he said, “there are twenty to thirty groups lobbying to represent their opinions, and, as a result of so many groups pulling in so many different directions, none can get into a position of influence. “Our intention is to represent the opinions of as large a group of people as possible in order that the people in positions of influence will have to take notice.” On the whole, the silent majority frightens me. Its purpose, to express the opinions of those ‘who have not spoken up in society’, leaves it open to exploitation by special political interests. The very name of the group was popularized by a not-ably conservative american, Spiro Agnew, to fulfil the need for a rationale to excuse his policies. The silent majority’s folder says that it star& precisely where its membership stands on ‘vital problems facing Canadians,’ yet Vleck says that the group will not be able to handle extreieTy complex issues. The result of this is that many of the basic problems of society will be dealt with in a superficial manner. The silent majority will probably serve mainly to confirm people in the opinions that they already hold, I do not think that it will help people to think about the conditions they are living through. At best, the silent majority could serve to make people more aware of what is happening, to make politicians more responsive to the needs of the pe<ople, and increase communication among people. At worst, it could be an instrument for demagoguery and political manipulation. From what I learned at my interview with Vleck, these latter possibilities are much more likely to be used than the former. I do not think that the silent majority will be of any real , benefit to Canadians.
