Hoyle -discusses Stonehenge Monday night was a night of bureaucratic blunders as the annual Hagey lectures presented renowned astro-physicist Fred Hoyle, following the official opening of the J.G. Hagey hall of the humanities. Hoyle’s first brilliant lecture discussing Stonehenge emphasized he felt the phenomenon was a primitive .analog computer used to predict eclipses. Using slides, Hoyle showed how the various markers showed midsummer and midwinter day. Using several calculations, they were able to accurately predict every eclipse. And all this was done 4000 years ago. Hoyle even suggested that the week consisting of seven days and the basis of the game of checkers may have been invented by the same people who built Stonehenge. In Wednesday’s lecture, speaking of the relationship of science and technology, Hoyle presented an interesting analogy of technology’s place in present society. He said technology was a huge bus heading towards paradise; containing all of us, being driven by our leaders. However, all at once we notice that they, too, are only passengers. Other groups of people who look out the window of the bus notice only arctic wasteland. Scared, they try to stop the momentum of the bus by pouring sand in to the engine. This, he feels is where we are today. At his monday morning press conference, Hoyle was asked about the values of, the ‘space race’. He feels the space programs have little scientific value but are necessary to maintain people’s
confidence in their technology. He also feels the space programs cause lack of feedback, the basis of scientific progress. Shots have to be planned so far in advance that quite often the results are no longer relevent. By example, he mentioned shots exploring the spectrum. . Originally, scientists thought the ultra-violet rays more important than the infra-red, so space shots were planned to explore this end of the spectrum. Though it is now felt the infra-red are much more interesting and important, shots still explore the ultra-violet. Hoyle’s style was relaxed: informed and interesting. ,Organizers of the lecture blundered the first night Hoyle spoke when over fifty seats remained empty throughout the lecture despite an over-flow audience watching Hoyle on closed-circuit television. Students were also separated from the invited guests and dignataries and were embarassingly asked to move to a second queue when they joined the wrong line by mistake. And what promised to be a brief dedication of the Hagey hall of humanities turned out to be nearly an hour of local bureaucrats congratulating themselves. The finest speech was that of deputy minister of university affairs, E.E. Stewart, who spent 20 minutes highlighting the speeches made at the previous openings of other university of Waterloo buildings. Stewart, himself, had nothing to say. ..
Thirty to seek fifteen “I promise to further the cause of humanity and happiness on this campus,” according to Peter Desroches one of the candidates for next Wednesday’s council elections. Five constituencies are being contested in this year’s elections with a field of thirty candidates. Several constituencies have already been acclaimed. These include science, both regular and costudies, renison, op, integrated grads and math and phys-ed co-op. Environmental studies co-op and regular phys-ed remain vacant. St. Jerome’s voters will be voting for one person from two. Michael Yirka and Walter Horsley are contesting the seat. Seven mathites are running for three seats. Two girls, Rena Armstrong and Chris Caste1 and five guys, Paul Rice, Paul Lawson, Gord Harris, Jim Barth and Rick Jardine seek the three posts. Elaine Switzman, Gord Moore,
Bill Lindsay and Larry Hundt are contesting the two seats in the environmental studies constituency. Engineers have the opportunity of - electing four representatives from six candidates. Tim Kennedy, John Arges, Paul Mustard, Gary Williams, Claus Doerwald and Geoff Willard want to represent the engineers. Arts has eleven people running for the five available seats. Carl Sulliman, Don Nicholls, John Dale, Peter Desroches, Doug Austrom, Phil Benovoy, Rich Lloyd, Bruce Meharg, Paul Dube, Heather Webster and< David Peltz are the arts candidates. The large number of candidates is a sharp increase over the nine who ran in two constituencies last year. The platforms of the candidates run from keeping the current policy of pubs, dances and movies in force to more political

involvement in social issues facing students. Some candidates promise nothing and few have experience on council. While service to the students is the concern of some candidates, a few feel that there should be more co-operation between the ‘federation and societies. One candidate has gone as far as saying that the federation should allow certain groups on campus to make money and open up since quashed profiteering. Other candidates want the federation to get more involved with issues that effect the student more directly. Information and discussion on student housing, unemployment, americanization and provincial government educational finances are more important than the present entertainment policy. Candidates are attempting to get support from certain groups such as the village by appealing
to issues that concern the particular groups. Others consider the elections nothing more than a sham offering but trivia in their platforms. Another candidate wants to use his earlier experience in industry to cut costs in some of the services of the federation. Communication or lack of it is the cry of another group who think they can offer students their voice to express faculty or department oriented issues of the federation. Another seeker of power thinks the federation should be a source of critiques of different courses, available for use in changing courses to student needs. Yet another wants to establish the university of Waterloo permanent pub. Whatever they planin the end, most potential council members want a strong federation for strong student representation. .

Over the years co-ordination has lost touch with the students so in October/70 a student advisory council was set up in order to bridge the communication gap. There are two alternating councils of 11 members each, representing the five faculties with cooperative programmes (eng, science, math, phys-ed and env-studies). : As SAC’s chief objective is to represent the students’ point of view in the everyday workings of co-ordination, their first task was

Non-organizers of the non-meeting, who could not be contacted at press time, expressedconcern over the lack of attendance at last week’s smoke-in. “We are definitely concerned over the lack of attendance at last week’s mumbled meeting, ’ ’ Georges McPukes.

There are 28.5 per cent more Canadian citizens on the faculty at the University of Waterloo this year than there were last year, according to citizenship statistics compiled by the university for the dominion bureau of statistics. r The statistics reveal that Canadian citizens now make up 55.5 per cent of the university faculty, compared with 50.3 per cent last year. While in the age of buy Canadian and Canadian content minded productions this may seem like a step in the right direction, there is one fact that is omitted from this report which is the key to the . increase.

More and more professors are taking out Canadian citizenship which means that while they are legally Canadians they have only recently achieved this status. They have not been born or hired as Canadians so the increase would seem to be nothing at all as far as the true objectives of Canadian nationalism go (whatever they are). Reading further on the report it seems that the number of nonCanadians has also increased (due mainly to a continuing need to find senior people in specialized fields, of course) The score now stands at Americans 112 - Canadians 360.

The higher bus fares recently instituted in the K-W area have been a pain in the ass for everyone except the university it seems. For several years the university has paid the public utilities commission for any losses incurred in running PUC buses from King st. to the campus, since without the subsidization the PUC refused to run any such buses. Now the higher bus fares are resulting in lower deficits for the I University ave. bus run even though the passenger volume is decreasing. Last year the university paid
out $9,601 dollars for the service. In ’ the period from September to january this year, while 10,000 people less used the bus, the deficit for the four month period is only 519 dollars compared with 1,893 dollars last year. According to Neil Selinger, office services manager at U. of W., the drop in passenger whne is partially due to the opening of the married students residence. While

Baetz said council’s survey revealed that although many Can.adians were prepared to accept as inevitable some of the shortcomings of the government’s 1970 hostel crash program it was very clear that many, and especially those working on local committees would be much less tolerant were not if future measures more fully related to and supportive of, local effort. rubrcrip)ionfee

’ Dick Gregory, comedian, author, lecturer and actor will speak next monday at a benefit dinner for the local Fat Angel drop-in center. Author of from the Back of the Bus, Nigger, and the Shadow that Scares Me, Gregory once said to a senior class at Yale university, “As far as I’m concerned, the number one problem confronting this country today is not the prob-’ lem of air-pollution, but the problem of moral p.ollution. You young lads will have to face it like no Americans ever have...You are going to have to deal with it too...You’ll have to understand it. You will have to be a little more honest than we have been.”

During june through august 1970, Gregory staged a seventy-one day fast in Toronto to dramatize the narcotics situation, and his endeavprs have cost him over a million dollars in travel, expenses, cancelled bookings legal fees. Gregory is non-violent; therefore a pacifist. He simply does not believe in killing and is consequently a vegetarian. The Fat Angel was originally established as a coffee house in 1967 complete with entertainment, poetry readings, speakers and ‘talkback’ nights. At this time the staff spent most of their time waiting on tables, and being involved in the social program. But by january 1970 the role,

He claimed western nations have not yet learned to use technology effectively and have chosen instead to set technology apart from other cultural influences and

“stick pins into it,’ in the same way primitive cultures have been doing for centuries. ” Holloman said students in the humanities are just as ignorant of the usefulness of technology in society and how to interpret its potential, as are engineers in their ignorance of the applied humanities and their role in the culture and society of western man, He claimed technology, a direct outgrowth of laissez-faire tradition, ultimately has reduced the importance of the individual in society. Although technology can provide more jobs for people, he said, it creates what he termed a “degrading’ ’ existence for others in the form of welfare. “Men walk on

I am second year honours psychology student. Last year I was the Renison rep, but I have changed - to a university registration this year. I am running again for council i because I believe that the federation should continue its policy of service to the students. The federation has the capital and the organizational structure to bring various activities films, chevron, etc. ) to the students at greatly reduced prices. Private groups not responsible to the students would be able to charge what they felt like. The federation should be more responsive to student’s political needs, both on and off the campus. The federation can and must speak to the needs of the students with one voice that will be heard. As far as clubs go I believe that they should be responsible to the federation in regards to money . raising - activities. Perhaps licensing o/f club with set prices would be adviseable. Club and the federation must work together for the good of the students.

The federation of students is the largest and most powerful student organization on campus. Because of this the federation is able to run better and cheaper social events. Due to the large size of the federation it is difficult for the federation to act on social issues. I think that this, so-. cial issues, is where council representatives can ._be of greatest value. Some of the issues I would like to investigate are: 1. Arts societyopen an office to use society fees more efficiently2. Village price increases. 3. Village food quality 4. Apathy-student services which will offer more student involvement. Generally I would like to see more people more involved. Your involvement can begin on voting day. The ,power of voting is only as great as those who vote. Thank you. I too wish to become more involved.

When the buses carrying women’s liberation and abortion protesters back to Toronto from Ottawa after last Saturday’s parliament hill demonstration stopped at an 1867 travelcenter because of road conditions, all hell broke loose.
- See page 5 When the two hundred women’s lib representatives trooped into the restaurant and discovered it staffed by one harassed waitress and one very confused cook, it became evident that the thirsty, hungry women would have to take the situation into their own hands.

While everyone helped themselves to coffee and chocolate delights, a liberating force moved I into the kitchen and informed the bewildered cook that they would take care of everything. They then proceeded to churn out sixty ham sandwiches’, and just as ‘many cups of soup. And besides decorum, prices also took a beating. One liberated meal consisting of chocolate cake, one ham sandwich, a honey-butter muffin, soup and three cups of cbffee-valued by the ESSO corporation at $2.50was appraised at 80 cents on the basis of bulk, quality and production costs.

see need for strong federation and have been active with BSA programs, specifically the running of federation movies. You might have heard my illustrious voice on Dial-a-Dance 578-2670. Further more, and most important of all, I am a devoted and trusty member of the FLP (frontal ‘lobe party), an organization devoted to the study and experimental research of the effects of strichnine on the baby finger. So what?” At this point I was overcome with the sudden desire to let the superman in me tell all: “If elected to federation council, I promise to do the best in my powers to further the cause of humanity and happiness on this culturally depraved campus of ours. Not only that, I’ll promise to be good.” ‘
Paul Dube Have you ever sat down and tried to see just how many lies you could tell in 150 words. Well I did this afternoon and I failed miserably. After three years of council elections I’m really tired of making election promises. I’d rather just say what I believe and let that stand because that’s the way I am. I’ve only got two reasons for running for council again. One; I have three years of experience and next year’s council will need experienced people. Two, I will as I have done in the past try to represent the interests of students as best I can. Personally I believe in a strong federation of students and in the federation of students as a service organization. Consequently if I am re-elected I hope to work closely with Rick Page and his executive in the coming year.

Don Nicholls I decided to run for arts rep on the federation because I feel there is a need for a particular type of administration ., The federation has a past record of researching such services as housing, food, second-hand books etc., this year I would like to see practical research done in these fields as well as others. I feel confident that my experience in the new democratic party and the trade union movement as well as the printing industry can be helpful to the federation. If I am elected I would want to be on the publications committeg and the committee of external affairs to do some practical work on cutting printing costs and attempting to find some practical solutions to student unemploy men t . c
enting the students in arts but, at the same time, there are some issues that I cannot allow the council to neglect: (1) We must begin to check the level of government control in our education system, concentrating on the amount of financial cutbacks the university can withstand, especially in arts. (2) All information must be made available to aid students in bringing about valid changes in course structure. (3) Since social services were the prime concern of the last council, we must improve our social obligations by attempting to set up the permanent U of W Pub.

I was prompted to run for a position on the federation because I was concerned that there was a lack of effort on the part of last year’s federation to acquaint students with the vital issues affecting them. If elected I hope to influence the council to provide speakers and public forums on such issues as student housing, unemployment, financing of education and the americanization of the economy andi the university. I gained some valuable experience in student government in my first year of university which I spent at the university of western Ontario. I was involved with the orientation program and worked with the board of external relations there.

Over a quarter of a million dollars of your money is thrown away by the federation each year. With the number of absent seats again this and acclaimations year, it appears to be just another year in the life of our shit federation. . I intend to serve the people of in the environmental studies following ways : 1. I will attend the ESS council meetings to get feed back and direction. In this way every student through his year rep will be able to have a direct say in the running of the federation. 2. I will oppose subsidizing social events. Why should I have to pay for a Lighthouse Concert I never saw. Events can be run at break-even or not run at all. 3. I will demand a reduction in the 22 dollar fee. (250,000. dollars is just too much money). 4. I will demand that minutes of every meeting be posted on campus bulletin boards.

To quote a recent chevron statement (feb. 12) “ . . . few students on this campus are honestly interested in the affairs of not only their own federation but the social and academic aspects of campus life as well.” Perhaps the reason for this disinterest lies in the present attitude of the federation. I believe that the federation of students’ council should encourage more participation by the various societies on campus and that it should act mainly as coordinator of the many activities carried on within this university. Agendas of future council meetings should be sent to all society offices and colleges so that issues could be discussed by the members in advance and their views would then be voiced by their rep(s). Minutes of past meetings should be posted and distributed also. If I am elected as environmen ta1 studies rep I will endeavor to increase the number of “interested students’\ on this campus.

Why am I running as environmental studies representatives? To be perfectly honest I am running because I feel that I am capable of presenting and serving the interests of the students of environmental studies. I am a second year planning student with no experience in university government, but I feel I will be able to work well with the president-elect Rick Page in bringing to the student the best possible services at the lowest possible prices i.e. concerts, pubs etc. Although this is an election without issues I feel that my views will at all times reflect those of the students I will represent.

To put it simply, I am running as environmental studies representative because I sincerely want to give environmental studies students the best possible voice. I, have had little experience in university affairs, but I know when to speak up in support of the students’ interests. In such an unpublicized and
I am presently enrolled in 3rd year regular math. My past experience has been,: 1. math society regular voting member 70-71 2. math anti-calender 69-70 3. math medium 4. Campus center board (math rep) 5. campus center study committee (undergrad campus center, board rep) I believe that it is important to both the federation and the societies to strengthen their communication. The Societies have better access to the grass-roots of students ideas, by virtue of their closer interaction. The federation has the resources and personnel to implement those ideas. What is needed is a number of students, willing to work with both their society and the federation. I offer experience in the math society and a desire to become involved with the Federation. The answer is not to further separate the societies from the federation but to implement closer communication of ideas and program. , I believe that the federation can offer more than the promised 5 percent of its budget. If elected, I will work to these ends.

cil and students become virtually non-existent, and students begin to feel not only alienated but completely detached from any and all council functions. When students are voting next Wednesday, and I hope that they will all take the opportunity to do SO, I would ask that they consider _ the willingness of the candidates to work towards a stronger and more effective council, a council that reflects the opinions of the student body.
Gord Harris Well youasked me. Firstly, I think we should retain the federation of students because of the excellent service provided to mathites in the past. As one body it works best for the most. However, the giant wielding the sword over a subservient mathsoc is too extreme. The spontaneity and productivity allowed by free enterprise will be-&ifled unless profit-oriented projects are aided by a little more cooperation with the federation. Finally, regarding the satiation of our most basic need, let it be known that my hopes lie with a continuously licenced on-campus pub. My experience to date is with ’ Circle K, adequate I am sure for this position and its responsibilities.

People wonder why candidates write on communication, apathy and involvement, neither knowing what to do about it. As a chevron staff .member, topics from unicameral government to f acuity association salary demands have a far greater impact on me as a student, being made aware of many prevailing opinions and statements. As a presidential candidate, existing and new dimensions of the campus have crystalized to the extent that I hope I can offer responsible representation to the math faculty. For the record I would support direct motions of: @.a food co-op o a campus telephone directory l part-time jobs for students in routine administration and security concerns as parking, mail and grounds upkeep. On principle, a strong federation is needed for cheaper pubs and better concerts and I would block any motion on the part of a society to accede from the’federation ; alternately, society functions should be autonomous if desired.

demonsthtion
Abortionists by Janice Lee williams ’ chevron staff
On Saturday, february 13, women from across Canada confronted Ottawa on the question of abortion. Their brief stressed that although a recent gallop pole showed 44 percent of Canadians in support of removing abortion from the criminal code, the government is paying the problem no mind. The recent royal commission report .on the status of women in Canada advocating such an action has been ignored. Trudeau considered the Winter Games more important than a plea by citizens for a _hearing. The representatives which various major political parties promised were not on hand for discussion in Ottawa. j Although the railroad room in the Parliament buildings is generally available, the doors to Parliament were closed. Such apathy serves to indicate the fallacy of so-called Canadian democracy. A group of citizens with a genuine complaint were denied a hearing. The protestors had to move to their alternate meeting place. The coathangers, pop bottles, -garbage bags and syringes taken along to symbolize the urgency of a situation in which thousands of women a year suffer the consequences\ of botched up, unprofessional abortions wefe left at the door and the women, spirits slightly wavering but still apparently determined, moved on. The situation had all the earmarks of a failure but these people turned it into a profitable experience. Something must be said of the spirit of the group. Durinehe long trip to Ottawa the buses were filled with such musical refrains as. “We come to Ottawa with our cause; Sisters murdered by abortion laws” There was an a&prevailing air of community. Conversation ranged from light jesting about the dubious double entendre inherent in the, slogan, the nation has no right in the wombsof the nation to serious discussion on what one should do in the event of arrest. Another thing which should be stressed is the excellent Work of the protest -marshalls. Acting as movement police, to prevent disorder and avoid any disruption, these women managed to keep a potentially chaotic &ration orderly. Faced with the obstacles of locked doors, bad weather and cold, tired protesters, %ey managed t6 keep the group from dispersing; There were no reak problems from opposing public-forces. Aside from the naive comment of one teenyhopper: “If you don’t want kids, don’t have them. ” and such puritan counter-demonstration slogarrs as, ’ “Abstinence is the best possible birth there wasn’t much control method”, manifest sppositiorf~ There was a mere handful. of counter--demonstrators. They called themselves the voice of the unborn (b&&-j, @.-”Id Someeat diffkU& t0 ignoFe a middleaged man- carrying a sign which says,
_
“Don’t you know hQw to love?‘.’ or something to the- effect of, “Murderers, one and aK’. However, by devoting their attention entirely to the task of singing, chanting and walking all- at once, the women managed to avoid disruption. Although the voiee of the unborn child wielded a sign challenging the protesters to a debate, they did not accept the invitation to the conference which was to follow the March. iis the snow became more intense they dispersed and straggled off. The abortion advocates, meanwhile, proceeded to the alternative meeting pjace, a nearby polytechnical school, only to discover that, despite previous arrangements, these doors had also been locked to them. Still together the women and a considerable number of%male supporters moved on to the final meeting place. The irony of it is too much to miss. The final location of the conference was St. Pius Roman Catholic Church. Chanting women unite, stand up-and fight, control of your body is your right we moved on to proceed discussion under the watchful gaze of God.
demand Doctor

cause
The first speaker was a Dr. Morgenthaler of Montreal. Morgenthaler could be called unofficial representative of the many good abortionists who have suffered under the abortion of law. This doctor, who from many authorized\ accounts is not an incompetent quack but a true humanitarian, is awaiting trial for charges of performing illegal abortions. He stated adamantly that the state had no right to control a woman’s life by controlling her body. The decision of whether or not to abort an accidental pregnancy should be a highly personal one, in Morgenthalers opinion one which should be made by a woman and her doctor. Dr. Morgenthaler also pointed out that the argument that abortion is murder is scientifically unsound. A twelve week old fetus is no larger than a thumb nail. It has none of the perceptions which define human life: Therefore, essentially it has not yet acquired a life to be taken from it. Women, on the other hand, have all the characteristics of life. They have a basic right, first to live, and secondly to do it happily. The government is, by maintaining abortion as a felony under the criminal code, perpetuating a situation under which unsanitary, backalley, abortions can flourish. By refusing to remove abortion from the criminal code, the government acts as an accomplise to the mutilation and, often, murder, of thousands of women a year Although abortion is a relatively simple operation, like any other form of surgery, it must be performed under ultimately sanitary conditions. If done by profiteering quacks in backrooms or by desperate- girls b. their own bedrooms, it \ can be fatal-.

surge of new women’s groups. On the same day as the Ottawa march the largest demonstration ever to take place in the maritimes occurred in Federicton. It was a protest against the existing Canadian abortion laws. The representative from ‘Quebec pointed out that in her province the question of abortion overlaps with the frenchCanadians’ dilemma of loss of cultural identity. The roman catholic hospitals refuse to consider abortions. All french hospitals are Roman Catholic. Therefore, if a french woman seeks an abortion ,. she must go to an EnglishCanadian hospital. Of the 181 abortions granted in Quebec, only one was done in a french hospital. On top of that the, Catholic institution has a much stronger voice in Quebec than in any other province. The french-canadian woman lives under a double oppression. Vancouver has the highest record of therapeutic abortions in Canada. A Vancouver woman can claim a legal abortion on her federal or provincial medical plan. However, the humiliating redtape she must go through in order to procure an abortion. clearly indicates that Vancouver is not the Canadian woman’s eutopia. The decision is still made by the male-dominated abortion board. And the woman has to procure a note from a psychiatrist stating that she’ll go stark raving mad if she has a. kid!.

Little
control
over body
A woman in Canada, it is clear, has little control over her own body. If, for some reason, it is not possible for her to use an effective birth control device, or if the one she chooses fails to do its job, a woman must face the possibility-of getting pregnant. There representatives stated, always abstinence. But the question. today’s liberationists ask is “Why should a woman deny her natural sexuality just because she has an equally natural. inclination to get pregnant?” A woman is still literally punished for her sexuality. If she accidentally gets pregnant she is forced to either victim&e herself t.o=the dangers of an unprofessional abortion or carry the albatross around her neck.

What requirements are needed for good engineering representation in the federation? An awareness of the actual and potential problems confronting the students, a willingness to meet and deal with these problems, and an ability to speak on behalf of the engineers are major requirements. Good representation may have prevented the deterioration of the engineering-federation relationship to what it now is. But it is not to late, good representation can prevent further misunderstandings and problems and even rectify those that now exist. . We need individuals who will go to the federation and truly represent the engineers. I for one don’t want to see the engineers break off with the federation and I am sure you don’t either. Having had previous experience in similar activities I will be a strong representative. And I know that with your support we can get things done. /

volved, to find out what goes on in the federation, and to represent my council to the best of my ability. ,
Paul Mustard The reason that I am running for federation council representative is the apathy in engineering. Engineers by and large don’t know exactly what the federation accomplishes and thereforefeel that it is unnecessary. The reason for this is the lack of communication between the council and the students.-Such’is one of the duties of the council representative, to keep the students informed about the federation’s operation. The other duty I feel is just the reverse, that is to keep the federation informed of the wants and opinions of the students. Usually complaints and ideas -about how things are being run or should be run, never get further than your friends. A council representative should make the council aware of these feelings and try to ensure that some course of action is taken. Thus the -federation council representative should be a strong two-way communication link.

Gary- Williams The wishes of some students to withdraw from the university of Waterloo_ was my major reason for declaring my candidacy for one of the engineering representatives for the federation of students. I cannot see how the majority of the engineers would want a completely separate institution, completely removed from the female populace of our fair Uniwat. I can see what one means when they say that engineers aren’t what they used to be. Perhaps they wish to become human computers, just longing for next weeks problem set. We need the influence of the other faculties and they need the engineers. The federation has tried to help, the students and there is still much to be done. The bookstore still empties our pockets and textbook prices are unbelievable. I feel we could afford bigger groups at our concerts, also. In short, I would like to see the engineers advance within the university of Waterloo, for as we all know engineers are beautiful.

St. Jerome’s college is in a particularly unique position now. Up until this date the political voice of St. Jerome’s on campus has been nil, like many other groups of-students. But this has not been the fault of laxity on the part of its students. Rather, the students have remained -ignorant of the issues, because of the laziness of its past representatives. An example of this is the fact that our former representative on council never took the time to inform our students about the decisions made in council, even though they were few. St. Jerome’s never realized that its student council was completely ignored by the other societies in policy-making. Well I hope to see that change. If I .am elected representative for St. Jerome’s on council I intend to consider myself responsible to the St. Jerome’s student union. The students at the college will be ‘made aware of the decisions made in council. And our voice on council will not be silent. I do not intend to be simply another rubber stamp for the present student ‘administration’.

their federation fees. These are unconstitutional means to an end. There are procedures layed out in the constitution of the federation that deals with- this kind of a problem. It is my intent to work within that constitution. You are a freshman and payed 8 dollars for orientation’ tickets just to find out that the entertainment wasn’t worth it and you could have paid less than six dollars for the same events at the gate! So, as long as you are still paying 11 dollars a term in federation terms you might as well have a voice in deciding where the money should be spent.

About the middle of the nineteenfifties, when rock’n’roll music first began to establish itself as a viable musical force, critics in certain quarters, perhaps over-inspired by the McCarthyist tenor of the times, announced in well nigh apocalyptic terms that rock’n’roll was, in actuality, a devious and widespread communist plot, designed to subvert our youth and rot the moral fibre of our younger generation. However, such is not the case, says Dr. Gabriel Dumont, local expert on mass sociological phenomena. (MSP). Dr.
Dumont
contends
that,
far
from being a communist plot, this throbbing, pulsating, primiI tively rhythmic music is a direct result, an expression if you will, of the subconsciously concealed yet very real hate-feelings of the youthful participants for the suspected communists who they had been taught to fear and despise. He feels that no other hypothesis adequately explains - the sudden unprecedented appearance of this insidious music, accompanied as it ,all-too-often was, by the unpreble fury dictabh : and uncontairu of a prete rnaturally aroused crowd. Does it really then see n so far: fetched to suggest, as Dr Dumont and ma ny other experts are convinced, that behind this so-called
“revival”band, the Sha-na-na, behind these dozen fresh, innocent-seeming clean-cut kids who make up the group, there lies a far-reaching mccarthyist conspiracy, conceived with the sole interest of diverting our susceptible youth from their just preoccupation with those marxistleninist truth which are destined to reshape our society? D. Dumont points out the paramilitary precision and organised hate-frenzy so cunningly expressed in the violent ritualised dancing ‘which forms so integral a part of

I find it particularly disappoin‘ting that the federation of students, an organization in which we have always placed our implicit confidence should have betrayed us so far as to have allowed itself to be a dupe to this malign counterrevolutionary insurgence.

NE MCGILL UNIVERSITY law student last week refused to go to either of the two show trials then taking place in downtown montreal because “I wouldn’t learn anything. Nothing there is being decided on the basis of law, it is being decided on the basis of political expediency. There won’t be anything decided on the basis of law until the cases go into appeal.” In the case of the seditious conspiracy trial of Michel Chartrand, Robert Lemieux,, Pierre Vallieres, Charles Gagnon, and Jacques Laruelanglois, which came to an abrupt end last friday, this was not surprising. Seditious conspiracy is, after all, as political a charge as exists in the criminal code, and any trial for it is bound to be political from beginning to end. But the trial of Paul Rose, which unfolded concurrently in another part of the city, is different. Paul Rose is not on trial for seditious conspiracy, or membership in an outlawed organization, or any other explicitly political charge. He is on trial for murder. The question hat issue is, on the surface, straightforward: was Paul Rose responsible for the death last October of Pierre Laporte, or was he not?. It became clear soon after the trial opened-on january 25, however, that things would not be quite that simple. It would have been possible to delay the trial of Paul Rose, to proceed first against some of the lesser lights, to keep the supposed FLQ ringleader out of the public eye until a semblance of normality had returned to the political climate in montreal. Instead, the ministry of justice decided to proceed against Rose immediately, while the events of October were still fresh in everyone’s minds. In doing so it was taking a gamble. For unlike most murder suspects, Rose had a way with words, and a certain irreverance for the trappings of judicial solemnity.
Lemieux
Je ne sais q Many of the cant any opinion about tl it, and not to know said they had never know what happent said, he never reac or listened to anyth news, and if he came he turned the page case might be. He \ jury, he said, becai was rejected. Another candidal admitted knowing and told Rose that ‘ pect, I +allow myse connected with the added that there 7 that Rose was link
in jail
The trouble began almost immediately when Rose was asked to choose a lawyer to represent him. The lawyer of his choice, Rose announced, was Robert Lemieux. The difficulty with this was obvious. Lemieux was in jail, awaiting trail on his abortive seditious conspiracy charge. Under normal circumstances, the question of what to do when the lawyer of a defendant’s choice is in jail does not arise. Normally, a person who is in jail is there because he has been convicted of a criminal .offence. And a lawyer who has been convicted of a criminal offence is forbidden from practising. These were not normal circumstances. Judge Marcel Nichols, who all through the trial seems to have been carrying on some sort of rivalry with his better-known Crosstown counterpart, Roger Ouimet, ruled that he had no power to bring Lemieux to the courtroom. (Rose reluctantly accepted the decision, and said that henceforth he would defend himself. ) After a few motions by Rose to declare a mistrial, one of which evoked a judgement of contempt of court from Nichols (I find you guilty of contempt of the Quebec people,” Rose replied, establishing the tenor of the whole trial - Nichols threw him out of the courtroom for the remainder of the day), the trial advanced to the stage of jury selection, usually a dull, laborious procedure. But there were certain anomalies in the jury system which Rose did not want to pass unnoticed. A defendant is supposed to be tried by a jury of his peers, and this is commonly imagined to mean that jury panels are chosen at random from the citizenry as a whole

excluded
In Quebec, however, certain whole groups of citizens are legally excluded from jury duty Women, for instance (among the other nine provinces, only Prince Edward Island excludes women from jury duty) and men not owning at least 4,000 dollars worth of property or paying at least 500 dollars a year rent, or who are under 21 years of age. Rose moved that the entire jury panel be excused, on the grounds that it did not consist of his peers. “My peers are workers, guys from SaintHenri, the Quebec people and not engineers and he said. Nichols rejected the mobusinessmen,” tion (although he said he personally felt that women should be allowed to sit on juries. ) The first two jurors chosen were a 50-year-old employee of the city of Montreal and a 51-yearold Canadian National Railways statistician. The choice of these two took a full day, primarily because Rose contended that determining whether a candidate-juror was impartial or not involved more than simply asking him. Rose wanted to know other things as well. He asked the

the crown asked him the standard question: “Do you think, sir, that you will be able to render a verdict only on the basis of the evidence that will be brought before you, abstracting all outside considerations? ” “I sincerely believe so, ” he said, and was chosen. But all this was only a warm-up for the top attraction, a 40-year-old engineer- who quickly became known as “le jure impartial lui” - the impartial juror in spite of himself. This candidate told Rose that a charge against an accused constituted-for him a presumption of guilt, and that unless it were proved otherwise he believed that Paul Rose was very strongly linked to the events -of October. Rose asked him if he thought he could be impartial. “I would very certainly be partial,” he replied. The decision as to whether a candidate is impartial is in the hands of the last two jurors chosen. Nichols wondered for a moment whether it was even necessary to consult the two jurors in this case, then asked them for their verdict, saying there didn’t seem to be much need for deliberation. But the jurors wanted to do things right, and so they retired to deliberate. Upon their return, Nichols asked the court stenographer to reread the candidate’s last sentence. “I would very certainly be partial.” The judge then asked the jurors for their verdict. “Impartial,” they replied in unison. Incredulous, Paul Rose, asked them to repeat the verdict. “Impartial,” they repeated. The audience in the courtroom was amused. And Nichols was surprised and embarassed. Rose
tried to challenge the new juror peremptorily, but Nichols had already ruled that neither the crown nor the defence could use a peremptory challenge after it had questioned a candidate. Nichols had no power to over-rule the two jurors. He had only two choices, neither of which he particularly relished. He could accept the decision of the jurors, or else he could declare a mistrial. Hoping that a solution would present itself, he adjourned the court until the next day.
Before
and after
.
The next morning, -he asked the two jurors whether they had changed their minds. They had not. With the situation exactly where it had been the previous afternoon, he adjourned the court again, this timee for the weekend. On Monday, he told the court that on friday he had seen no alternative to declaring a mistrial. But before taking such a drastic step, he had decided to read the candidate’s testimony over very carefully. And after doing so, he had decided that the two jurors were right: the candidate could, in fact be impartial even though he had said he could not. The question was not, Nichols said, whether he had been impartial before the trial, but whether he could be impartial during the trial. And nichols thought he could. Therefore he ordered the hapless fellow to be sworn in. For Paul Rose, this was stretching legal logic a bit far. A bitter verbal battle broke out between him and Nichols. ending with Rose shouting: “you’re all whores of the establishment. At least call-girls work to earn their living. You’re worse,
than gangsters and at least gangsters run risks. We will win.” It was at this point that Nichols decided to eject Rose for the remainder of the trial. After that, the trial proceeded quietly - three more jurors were chosen in the hour after Rose’s removal (it had taken more than a week to choose the first six). And it would continue, with a jury whose impartiality is (to give it the benefit of the doubt) open to question, without the accused and with only an “observer” chosen by the bar to “represent his interests! ” The trial was soon adjourned until the bar named this “observer. ” But what had happened had already had a wider effect. In proceeding now against Paul Rose, the government had counted on being able to maintain a widespread. popular repulsion against an alleged kidnapper and murderer. A few months earlier, such a revulsion had allowed them to push through the war measures act and later the public- order (temporary measures) act with only a fraction of opposition that they might otherwise #have expected. They must have been bitterly disappointed at some of the press coverage of the Rose trial. For in much of montreal’s flourishing popular weekly press, and in two of its six daily newspapers, Rose did not come across as a vicious kidnapper and murderer at all. One of these dailies was Le Devoir, the small morning paper that had been a voice of courageous opposition to the autocratic premier Maurice Duplessis during the forties and fifties. After the liberals rode to power in 1960, Le Devoir’ identified itself with the new Quebec establishment. It told english Canadian liberals what Quebec wanted. Its editor, Andre Laurendeau, was appointed chairman of the royal commission on bilingualism and biculturalism. The new editor, Claude Ryan, was a Quebec nationalist but a conservative and a catholic. ___

The FLQ and all the militants of the Quebec revolution have a definite respect for human life and consider it the most important of all values. They are fighting strictly on the basis of that respect for human life and that respect is the same that every one including the establishment has for human life. Now if the establishment of Canada or Quebec has enough respect for human life to agree to the demands of the FLQ or at least to negotiate intelligently, there will be no problem.

Because the electoral system that is imposed on us is ridiculous. It is based upon how much money the candidates can invest in getting elected. We want to overthrow a system of exploitation of the vast majority by a small minority of rich people. The,y have established that system in such a manner so that we can’t overthrow them electorally.

They don’t care about the situation of the workers. They don’t really care about anything except switching the power from a small english to a small french elite,It’s a first step but it has nothing to do with the total liberation. The liberation of Quebec that the FLQ is engaged in is not a racist struggle. It’s not an anti-english struggle. It’s a pro-worker struggle. Would you place or socialism before

before
socialism
Socialism as such is not necessarily the answer. The free Quebec society will have to consider the socialist revolutions that have been made throughout the world in the last 50 years. It will have to take into account the anarchist experience of Spain, what Cuba is doing (which is not strictly socialist) etc. It’s not strictly a socialist Quebec, it’s a new Quebec where the power belongs to the people.
of the
The results prove the electoral system is set up to screw all attempts to vote for the truth. If you analyze the april 29 result, you will discover Bourassa and the Liberals came to power in Quebec with 95% of the english vote and 24.8% of the french vote. In the election though 23% _of the French population did vote for the PQ. Do you not see some hope of working within that constituency in order to bring about change?
I believe that it is possible through the electoral system to get the PQ into power and to get political independence for Quebec. But that is only the first step and the timid step towards the total liberation of the people. What the Parti Quebec-
Is it possible that the leaders of a movement like the FLQ, who are not operating in a democratic fashion, are going to have a great deal of difficulty in allowing democracy to eventually take place?
Well, we have one good example that we can benefit from. The cuban revolution was made by a small group of men with a strong authority vested in Fidel Castro, Che Guevera and Raoul Castro. When they took power they went through a year or two in which their hold on the population was strong. Now they’ve been in power for 11 years and democracy definitely exists in Cuba. Decisions are taken more and more by the cuban people. When the phase of discretion passes, when the danger of being overcome by the forces of the establishment is over, then democracy can install itself quite easily. ,

absurdity
But since October, and especially since prime minister Trudeau’s identification of Ryan with an alleged plot to seize power in Quebec, Le Devoir had begun to resume, in a small way, its former role. In a series of long reports by staff writer Guy Deshaies, it had given the Rose trial full coverage, emphasizing Rose’s sallies against the court, Nichols’ inconsistencies, and the absurdities of the jury selection. But even more remarkable was the coverage in the morning tabloid, Le Journal de Montreal. The seven-month strike at ‘Montreal’s masscirculation evening daily La Presse in 1964 gave birth to two new newspapers. ,Both were morning tabloids, and one of them, Metro-Express, expired soon after the strike ended. But the other one, Le Journal de Montreal, continued to publish, without any real hope of dislodging the acknowledged master in its field, the union nationale organ Montreal Matin. Le Journal struggled along for several years, a newspaper in search of a raison d’etre : and, incidentally, a market. It found one with the rise of the separatist Parti Quebecois. Le Journal publisher Pierre Peladeau, is an enterprising businessman of nondescript political beliefs who now owns a second newspaper, Le Journal de Quebec, and a string of printing plants in addition to Le Journal de Montreal. He was quick to see that there was a, void that was not being filled. His newspapers began to run large amounts of PQ-oriented copy on top of the usual diet of crime and hockey stories. With the election of april 29, 1970, Le Journal de Montreal really began to move. All the traditional Union Nationale seats in Montreal went to the PQ - and the east-end taxi driver who had switched his vote also switched his reading habits: he picked up Le Journal instead of MontrealMatin. After the election, Le Journal began running a daily column by PQ leader Rene Levesque. Late in the year, it passed Montreal-Matin in circulation. To Le Journal, the Rose trial is “the- trial of the century” (Le Devoir’s catch-phrase is “judicial guerilla warfare”) Its undoubted star is Rose himself. The paper features Rose’s actions in front-page banner headlines. It publishes large, poster-style pictures of him. It collects his courtroom quips as “the humor of Paul Rose.” And it all sells. For thousands of Quebec people, the kind of people who read Le Journal de Montreal, Paul Rose has become a folk hero. He has reached that exalted status partly because of his own evident skill. And partly because there was room for another folk hero in Quebec. And partly because Marcel Nichols and his allies , have made him one. This article (Montreal)

It’s time to sing the Waterloo blues again.. The large crowd of Waterloo fans leaving the Varsity arena Wednesday night were probably wondering whether the Warriors ever arrived as the ) Blues routed them 5-l. If I Ian Young had not had his share of luck and skill the game could have been even more out of hand. The pregame warmup forewarn-ed the rest of the game, as the Varsity rink rats tried to sabotage the Warriors by opening doors in front of them . The problem of the game was that no one but the Warriors themselves were to ’ blame for the fiasco. The first period opened with both teams playing shitty slow hockey. The Blues opened and ended the first period scoring with a low screen shot by Davies from Lysconik. The whole period saw each team getting one shot per line change. First period: boring. At 1:05 Peterman uped the Blues to a two - zip lead. It was fairly obvious at this point that Toronto was going to skate Waterloo down Young street. The third line smashed Coles shutout with a goal by Simpson at 3: 45. The rest of the second saw the entire Waterloo team skated into the ice. Young was literally the only thing between the Blues and the mesh. Toronto’s ,Buba fulfilled two-thirds of his hattrick in this period. The second period: 4-l and very boring. We all slept through the last. period but were told that there were two penalties and-good old Buba got his third goal and his glory star. The refereeing was very loose to allow for a fast moving game that somehow ’ never happened. “The ‘Blues oppressed the Warriors with their weight and speed even though they only out shot the pucksters by 35-30. The third period: fuddle-duddle.
Last wjn

Western
Last thursday evening the Warriors travelled to London. The final decision was 8-3 but there were a few minutes left in the first period when Waterloo held a 3-O lead and seemed well on their way to a one-sided victory. However,’ as is the custom of our team, they became sloppy when playing inferior opponents. Consequently Western nabbed two quick goals so that the period ended 3-2. This was all Waterloo needed. The second and third periods were dominated by the Warriors, who tallied five more goals which could quite easily have been seven or eight. Bauer’s line played exceptionally well with Bobby Bauer recording the hat trick and Nicholsen and Laidlaw sniping one each. Other marksmen were Dave Simpson, Savo Vujovic and Paul Palecznv.
-Let down
Ian Young, Waterloo could quite possibly have had their backs against the wall. The final decision was a 3-3 tie.

tonight
a must!
After the tie with the lowly Windsor squad and the disaster at the Varsity arena, all the marbles rest on tonights game with the Guelph Gryphons. If the Warriors repeat the style of hockey they have been playing in the last week, then we’ll be comfortable in our traditional second place berth. Hopefully the tail spin that Guelph is experiencing will help the Warriors hold number one for the first time. Catching

Roger Kropf opened the scoring at the seven minute mark of the first period when he stole the biscuit from a Windsor player and put it in the upper right corner of the net. John Hall made it 2-O five minutes later. The first period ended 2-O. Kropf once again scored in the second period to make the score 3-l.

Last weekend, after practicing day In and day out for six months, the Athena swim team went faster and won more events than any other team in &e combined O-QAA and WITCA champiohship meet to -take their second straight swimming crow3 in three years of competition.. 3his year the :Bumber of teams in- the two day event held at Waterloo had .i$mbled to ten and ’ it took a solid %eam effort of 200% fr.oom every .A&ena to up.set the rest :of the f ieI& A wet coach IGraham said after the traditional victory dunking in the pool thait it was a “fantastic performance by the entire team.” When considering it was the .first year of intercollegiate competition for nine of the fourteen .members it; looks, if one is allowed to peer into the crystal-ball, like the Athenas could remain on top’ for a number of years to come. The champions ended to meet with 318 points some L4 ahead of Toronto who went home with 304. This was a sweet victory over Waterloo’s arch rivals as not every Uniwat squad downs the Bluettes. The swimmers did it two out of three times this year. McMaster ended a distant third with 166 pts followed by York, 162; Guelph, 124; Windsor, 110; McGill, 109; Queens, 85; Western,, -79; and lastly Montreal who had only four competitors ended with a score of 52. The Athenas jumped into an early lead winning the 200 yd medley relay event in a time of 209.9, just one tenth of a second ahead of both the -York and MC Master squads.

Judy Abbotts picked up two firsts in the Athenas drive to Victory Saturday. She won the 100 butterfly in 1: 07.1 which tied her already established WITCA record and set a new $eam record in the 50 yd fly in a time -of 30 seconds flat. In both events her closest rival was Carol MacLeod tjf McGill who was clocked in times of 1:10.3 and 30.6 for the two events. The final Athena victory was picked up by Jo Ann McKinty in the 100 yd breaststroke covering the four lenghts of the pool in 1: 16.5 nearly a second ahead of Pat Kitchen of Western. McKinty’ came second to Kitchen in the 50 yd breastroke but set a new team record of 35.2 and was nipped by just a tenth of a second at the finish.

The Basketball Athenas continued their winning streak with two successful exhibition games within the last week. York univefsity provided little opposition for the Waterloo girls thursday night, with the final score of 57-34 in favor of the Athenas. Our girls seemed rather unenthusiastic at the beginning of the game but began to shape up somewhat just prior to halftime. Their calibre of play increased considerably in the second half, at least in comparison to the first half. Top scorer for Waterloo was Toos Simons with 17 points, followed by Mary Ann Gaskin with 9 points. And then, picture the scene,as the ball Athenas rise Saturday 5:30 a.m. to eventually catch the lo:30 bus bound- for Kingston and their second exhibition game this week against Queen’s university. The team had planned to travel to Kingston by train but due to inclement weather the team was forced to catch the first bus headed in the same direction. Despite the travel misfortunes, which were to again plague the girls on the return trip, the Athenas arrived on time and managed to outplay the girls from Queen’s 49-41. Again, the basketball play was definitely not outstanding. The Queen’s team offered little in the way of tough competition, yet the, Athenas failed $0 take advantage. Charlotte Shaule was good for 13 points as high scorer, and Mary-Anne Krzyzanowski close behind with 12 points. This weekend, the Waterloo jock building will be hosting the W.I.T.C.A.second place play-offs. These games will determine whether the Athenas compete next weekend in the championship+ finals or consolation finals. Competition for the Athenas will be supplied by teams -from the U. of Toronto and McGill university. If Waterloo is successful, .they will advance to the championship finals in Queen’s and the U. of Guelph. - The Athenas meet t& McGill team tonight at 8 p.m. and then tomorrow morning at 10 a.m. play host to the girls from the U. of Toronto.
Squush team

impfovrng
Our young squash team continued to show improvement this past weekend, as they-finished in a tie for third place in the York invitational tournament. In a close finish for first it was Toronto squeezing past their host 20-18, next came Trent and our Warriors with 12, Queens had 8 and Guelph trailed gaining 5 points. Our number two seed, Doug MacLean playing his best squash of the year led the Warriors winning three of five matches. His losses came at the hands of Toronto and York 3-O and 3-2, both these matches were very close and could have gone either way. Doug’s top winning match came against Trent’s Dave Reid who had MacLean down 12-4 in the third game, only to see Doug come back and win 17-16. From this point on there was no problem and he won going away, 3 games to 1. The best spectator squash was displayed by the number two seeds featuring hard hitting and lobs down the walls, and long bitter rallies. Peter Armstrong i,n the fourth grouping exhibited a strong and clever -game, his corner and cross
court shots kept his opponents off balame =Us@ed him win f&r of lhis five matches. Taking &&I consideration‘> that this was only Peter% third &NWney appearance and that his Only loss Came *o 318 defeated Hanser of Toronto, I think it Only reasonable t,o expect another good perfomance in $he 0-QAA’s. Winning three of five matches John Cubing (5) had trouble in gaining the crucial points and so failed to take the big apple. His wins posed no problems and he was extended only in his games with Guelph which took him five. The competition was stiff for both Dave.Harrjson and Ibrahim Ibrahim and they had to settle $01 one win. But they are confident of bigger and better results ne’irt weekend. The Warriors will be looking for third place tomorrow,when the 0-QAA’s begin at Western. Only a fool wouldn’t concede the top two spots to Toronto and Western, but from there on down it’s a big scramble. Waterloo wil) receive their biggest threats from a stronger Queen’s squad and the McGill team if they come. Friday

ripped
off
the
boxes; come tell us. I am inclined to agree with the article in last Friday’s Chevron . which described several examples of student apathy. Generally, the student’s don’t give a shit. If there is a lack of communication on campus why don’t they use this column to express that opinion. If enough people feel this way and let’ it be- known then something might be done to improve the communication on this campus. Personally, I feel that the majority of student’s who would use this excuse are just rationalizing. They just don’t give a damn! ! ! - We of the community seminar of history 224 decided that we would like to find out some common problems and .complaints that the students of ‘Uniwat had. We drew up a questionnaire to put in the chevron, the most widely circulated voice on campus, hoping that the majority of the students would spend three minutes filling it out. What have we found out? Not only are the majority of students disinterested, but out there amongst the mob are some sort of strange individuals who get their thrills by ‘ripping-off’ our answer boxes. I do not see the logic behind their diabolical scheme but I am surely willing to learn their reasons so that I may experience their ecstasy. So please feel welcome to attend our-next seminar on tuesday,’ february 23 in CC 113. Please sign me puzzled!

Thanks for the coverage of the Mofoz affair We would like to compliment the chevronIs coverage of the current controversy concerning the, harsh sentencing of the Ukrainian historian Valentyn Moroz, and the obvious violation of the principles of the United Nations declarationof human rights by the soviet judiciary system. Renato Ciolfi who travelled with and interviewed the protestors on their way to Ottawa for the demonstration (chevron, V. 11, No. 42. friday, february 5, 1971) took a great interest in the issue; researching and presenting an unbiased version of the proceedings. The hami/ton spectator ( f ebruary 4,71) reported that: “Steve Paproski ( PC-Edmonton Center asked the prime minister in the commons to intervene on behalf of Valentyn Moroz and Sviatoslov Karovanski when he visits Russia later this year. ” UKRAINIAN

full statement on commune’s not published Bufko’s
I feel a few additional comments to the report of the meeting between Kitchener aldermen and members of the commune society are warranted. In particular, Larry Burko’s parting statement, if printed in full,, summarized very aptly the current state of thinking about the place of minority groups in our society, both physically and men tally. Burko’s parting remarks (ineluding those already attributed to himj essentially were: a) Why even try to compromise and make agreements with those who consider that your life-style (and concomitantly-you) is undesirable? b) To talk of defining the physical haibtat, and the type of “family” involved, for the purposes of altering by-laws and changing zoning regulations, is but a circumlocution of the latter part of item a), and can lead to the development of “ghetto’‘-type situations. c) The predictable result of items a) and b) in terms of zoning and by-laws, is that once more the city will acquire yet another cellular unit composed of a group of people of probably similar age, thinking, etc. and would thus equate with the current horrors of stereotyped living within zoned areas, the worst of which, in my opinion, is “suburbia” - young families in isolated boxes. This attitude towards’ residential zoning if anything contributes very affectively towards widening both the generation gap, and as is well known, awareness of social

/ conditions within different groups. Zoning of the residential areas of our cities is but an avoidance of the real problemthe inability of people to accept and tolerate the lifestyles of others. This inability leads people towards ascribing and promulgating what they consider to be the “bad” characteristics of a life-style. Perhaps the media should consider a series of discussions relating the problems deriving from “nuclear families” with the ways in which “emotional communes” try to overcome these very problems. Finally, a personal comment on some of the public responses made by the commune people. How much humour was intended by the speakers I am unable to say, senses of humour being quirks of one’s upbringing and attitudes. However, I wonder how much intention some speakers had of trying to “communicate”. At the rear of the hall was a handful of interested people (neither aldermen nor students) who may have come to honestly try and find out what communes were all about, but from many speakers they received little other than incoherent statements. Do commune dwellers want TV discuss and open their way of life for others to consider seriously or not? Frivolity has its uses and its place - but there are times for serious statements and’thought. Maybe my “vibes” were wrong on the evening in question, and the commune-community was in fact so depressed by the proceedings. that it hid its fear under this 1 guise* C. NICHOLS geog. dept. Do

Bufko’s ‘consumerism is costing us biead ‘n butter The degeneration of campus life into a series of ‘moderately priced’ concerts, dances, pubs, .and films intersperced with a shallow meal of ‘course content’ is fairly indicative of the general conditions in society. After the recent round of elections the question of a strong central students body is downgraded to the point that it is a question of “can they out-con the rip-off artist? ” - but even if they can it is no compensation for an irrelevant education nor a very gloomy graduate employment situation. As pointed out in a chevron editorial, the question of war research etc. is indeed a red herring be-

ExBtbn’sobtained its money .by exploiting the. -0
N TirESDAY DECEMBER first and again in (he riext issue the chevron reprinted a two-part article from the last Post, a Montreal-based periodical. The article entitled “Then came dessert” dealt with the firm, Eaton’s of Canada, in a manner I found very perplexing. For, in an era when everyone - including the chevron is screaming about american ownership, and control of Canadian companies, it seems pointless to rake our largest all-Canadian company over the coals. I am aware that the Eaton family is irery wealthy and that they obtained their money by exploiting the -masses but “so what”. Do you mean 6 say that if Eaton’s spread its wealth among\ the masses we might be better tiff? Just pictu_re twenty million1 Canadians banding together and pooling their profits in order to redevelop their cities. Or for you socialists, picture the always-efficient government trying to implement such m’easures. _ Either way, Canadian cit’ies .and their citizens lose; Why then do we continue to paint the wealthy but willing developing-force as our enemies? (It is time to put criticism like the Last Post article in ths proper perspective. As a Canadian and a firm believer in the free - enterprise system, I hope to shed’ some light on the beneficial qualities shown by Eaton’s of Canad%. The feeling -behind my $uppoft for Eaton’s is based on the dynamic concept of component centers. To understand this concept all you need remember is that each Canadian city consists of many different components. There are ‘neighborhoods withiri villages, viilages within towns, towns within cities and perhaps cities- within metropolitan regions. Often’ these components are not immediately visible since they l&k ’ any central focus or core. Without defined cores,,components often run into one another and form what could best be called a conglomeration. To best explain the role of the retail, I will outline the basic structure atid content of each component and its z center. Neighdourhoods: The size of a neighborhood may range fro& five hundred t6 fifteen hundred families depending -on. the density of the development. Its core ‘should contain a lower -school- (kindergarten -to ‘grade six), nursery school, community hall, recreational areas and a suitably functioned retail area. The transcortation network will convey its citizens to and from the neighbourhbod center as well ‘as providing connections to inter-cdmmunity routes. I ViClqges: Village centers become the heart of a heterogeneous communities containing two thousand five hundred to five thousand families, or more clearly three ‘or four neighborhoods. Such centers should contain a junior and senior high school, an auditorium, a library, a large community hall, medical offices, churches, recreational’ areas, a village square and of course a larger retail area. It must be emphasized again that kthe retail for’ce is best equipped to determine the location_ of these centers. Since man first chose to live in
18 822
the chevr& /’
cities, the market place has been the focal point for all activity. With this in mind it is hard to believe how little cooperation the retail for& actually receives from planning agencies and municipal decision makers. Towns: A town consists of three of four villages. Thus we discover that all the components are nested within each other. The vital elements of a town center are .a hospital, general offices, theaters,’ libraries, a hotel, a community cqllege, recreational facilities and a large *regional shopping center. Some excellent examples of town-cedters are found in Toronto: for example Yorkdale, Don Mills, Sherway (in Etobicoke) and the proposed Scarboro town-center. It is true that now they appear merely as shopping centers but the location and development pattern will hopefully create complete town centers. Cities: A’ city may consist of any number of towns depending on- its geographical location and transportation system. Its core ii the most vital in this concept since it becomes the focus for the entire urban struc\ ture. - j . Eaton’s has become 3 leader in establishing sbme type of urban core throughout Canadian cities. Those of you, especially the supporters of the last Post article, who dispute this fact should pay close attention as I present a factual coast to coast coverage of Eaton’s city center activities. Said The Last Post, “IN SEVERAL CITIES EATON’S, HAS AMASSED LARGE SEGMENTS, OF VITAL DO-WNTOWN LAND, KEPT UNUSED AND -FROZEN SY NOT DEVELOPING IT UNTIL PLANS SUITED ITS PURPOSES.”
The best way foi me to disprove a general staitement such as this is by-revealing the actual facts. In 1948, Eaton’s purchased the old Vancouver: Hotel Vancouver on the corner of Georgia and Gran-f ville streets with the intention of building a new depart‘merit store and a twenty-million dollar office building: However, MacMillan-Bloedel, the prime tenant of the proposed tower <withdrew -its support and the. plans were temporarily shelved. Unfortunately, -for Vancouver,’ some twenty-two years passed before the ,nec,essary ingredients came together again. Last year found Eaton’s, Cemp investments and the Toronto Dominion Bank joining forces to create Pacific Center: .This ninety-five million dollar project built in two stages sits on two complete city blocks. The fir% stage is being built on property owned’ by Eaton’s and consists of a five storey department store, a thirty storey office tower, twelve-hundred square L’ feet of public plaza and underground parking for eight-hundred cars. The second stage is to be built on land expropriated by the city and is scheduled to begin construction this year. It involves two office towers,<an eighty-five store retail concourse with heated pedestrian mall, a major hotel and underground parking for a further 800 cars. “ Saskatoon: In the heart of downtown Saskatoon between 20th and 22qd streets and facing 1st avenue sits Midtown Plaza. Three years ago. it was “just another
underdeveloped ’ block” under Eaton ownership, but today .it is a bommercial center containing fifty retail stores, a twelve storey office tower, a civic auditorium, two large department stores, parking for sixteen-hundred cars all &closed by a clidate controlled pedestrian mall system. No longer do the shoppers of Saskatoon have to brave the elements, not to mention qutomobiles in order to-shop downtown. Perhaps those familiar with Kitchener’s downtown will see the- benefits such a downtown center provides. Winnipeg: The best way t‘o jillustrate Eaton’s concern for downtown Winnipeg is to refer to the GrahamGrand Concourse. This plan involves the creation of a covered overhead mall linking Eaton’s to Hudson’s Bay Company along Graham. Avenue. This proposal is part of a, 260 million dollar public and private investment that hopes to draw 75000 new residents to the Winnipeg core area. Eaton’s role in the overall development might appear small but- remember that their original idea in 1964 started the ball roiling. Hamilton HIT ,AND HAMILTON

“In 1955 Eaton’s arranged to buy Hamilton’s old city hall and some adjacent stores for a total of 800,000 dollars. Plans called for a two stage expansiqn t6 add needed room to Eaton’s old , store on James Street North. The first stage was combleted -within the 2 years agreed but the second stage was never started and the land on which the hall’stood is now a_ parkeite with a few benches. It now seems clear- that the planned addition will never be built.” -
For those of you that haven’t heard, the ground breaking =ceremonies for’ a 5 .phase hundred million dollar civic cencer were performed in October 1970. The project including the Eaton’s property is now under construction. Reasons for the delay seemed to stem for insufficient financing by se.veral developers. For First! Wentworth, a Hamilton base developing firm, run by Joseph Pigott junior, had been givensxelusive bargaining rights for this site in 1967. Unfortunately his firm was unable to raise the necessary capital and his entire proposal was scrapped. Triton Centers, the developers of Yorkdale, had also presented a plan for the area but political opposition led to their withdrawal. Yale Properties of Mont_real eventually won the right to begin implementation of an idea that started fifteen years before. ’ Their first phase consists of a twenty-six storey office tower, with Stelco as prime tenant, a multi-storestreet level shopping concourse, two large banks, parking for eight-hundred cars and of course the extension and improvement of the Eaton facilities. Thus improvement includes a nine-thoukand square* foot entrance

malss&-but so what pavilion providing direct access to Eaton’s first and second floors as well as the plaza levels of the civic square. ,Phase 2 of the plan is to include more retail commercial space, increase parking facilities and -a second major department store. Phase 3 will hopefully provide a second office tower with more retail commercial space of its main floor and parking facilities underneath. Phase 4 will see the building of a large hotel incorporated with more retail commercail activities. Phase 5 will include approximately 780 residential living units contained in four high rise buildings and several town houses. Parking for six-hundred cars will be included under the complex and a new farmers market will also be provided. Toronto : “Eatons owns most of the property between Queen and College, along the central downtown strip, and its old factories, offices and sweat shops have frozen all development of any significance in the surrounding area for decades. ” Rick Hankinson is a student in the school of urban and regional planning, and is manager of the university basketball team.
Ever since they enlisted the help of William Zek* kendorf, (director of Webb and Knapp and developer of Place Ville Marie in Montreal) in 1956 it was apparent to me that Eatons wanted to improve this property. Unfortunately the original plan proposed was to comprehensive for Toronto to understand and Eatons chose to wait for a more favourable atmosphere I to arise. In 1966 a plan for Eaton Centre was revealed to the public and the criticism rolled in. The reason for its eventual demise are too complex to cover in this article but the belief that Eatons was to blame is unfounded. The cost of developing their original preliminary plans was close to three million dollars and therefore any speculation that construction was never intended is pure nonsense; Eatons had prepared itself for the criticism that always follows the announcement of large scale proposals by hiring a full time promotional agent in the person of David Owen. Unfortunately they had not prepared to defend their plan against City Council since it was assumed they would be in favor. For Toronto was in the position to receive millions of otherwise unharvested tax dollars, a new commercial core and thousands of new citizens all for the small sacrifice involved in selling their old city hall. Eaton’s seemed, confused at the fuss created around a building no one but the metropolitan police could find a use for two years earlier. It should be noted that urban theorist Hans Blumenfield and architecture professor James Ackland were so alarmed at Eaton’s plans they formed a group called “Friends of This group felt much the same as the Old City Hall”. the writer of the Last Post article in that “The ancient, pseudogothic structure and clocktower only bit of color and style to be found in the

face of downtown
Toronto”.
The truth of the matter is that Toronto was so committed to their new city hall it seemed a good idea to use the old structure as a foil. When Toronto finally decided to sell the precious old City Hall, the price asked was so inflated one Eaton official quipped “the Toronto coat of arms should be the jolly roger”. The reason I am dwelling on the “old city hall” property is that when it is finally torn down as it will be, the chances of some thing the scale of Eaton centre replacing it are slight. I know there are some very valid criticisms based on the right a profit oriented company has to shape our environment, but lets face facts and admit some form of redevelopment is necessary and somebody has to pay for it. Instead of creating moral roadblocks we should be striving to cooperate with the developing force in the hope of creating a more livable city core. Eatons cannot give up their quest for a civic centre in Toronto since the success of their town centres depends on the unification of central core. Earlier last year when they compromised and created a plan that left the old city hall untouched, the Trinity church formed a “friends of Trinity Church” group. Why blame Eaton’s for creating a plan that might lead Toronto shoppers to their doorstep. After all the Rapid transit system was designed for access to the downtown area, and all Eatons appears to be doing is reviving urban importance. The enemy Toronto faces is not Eatons but’ the fear that they are not in control of their environment. This can o.nly lead t6 one conclusion that government control over development means an end to freedom at all levels of life. (Author Ha n k inson goes on ments in Montreal and Moncton.)

Therein lies my evidence for supporting Eaton’s as valuable Canadian asset. For as Daniel Cappon stated in his paper “Canadian Cities: Their Health, Malaise and Promise” “ There’s very little tradition in the cities of Canada that is not provided by a parking spot to watch the railway cars go by, or by the T.Eaton Co.” What he means is that because of its youth Canada has very little tradition and should look upon Eaton’s as a means to achieve some. Where else in the world does one company have major holdings in every medium and large size cities. This should not be looked upon as a problem but as a way to unite the entire country and its growing urban areas. The concept of components centres whether instituted by Eaton’s or any other development force is one way to prepare Canada . for the economic dependance it seems to want so badly. The point being made in the article you have just read seems to be that the kind of steel, and concrete “progress“ s ymbolized by Eaton city developments is indeed a good thing. Whether it is good is not a question that can be glossed over by simply listing the number of hotel rooms, stories or phases particular to any Eaton redevelopment project.
There ing :
are ‘other
considerations,
among
them
the
follow-
l what consequences does dense retail-oriented developmen t have in already crowded down town areas? l what people are displaced from homes when such development eats up the land on which they live? l what is the benefit for the entire city when great parcels of land are held by private companies waiting for the right development proposal to maximize their investment profit? Writer Hankinson could not be so naive as to think Eaton’s sits on land merely until the best deal for the people of the city comes along. And it is not always concrete pedestrian malls stuffed into canyons of steelglass boxes that is best for the people. It is best for business, of course, and that is what Eaton’s is about. Yet, the article on the Eaton empire written by staff of the Last Post concentrated less on the aspect of landcontrol than it did on the attitude of the Eaton family and the connected ‘unwritten assumptions about influence and power that accompanies wealth. The article lists specific examples of the company3 paternalistic attitude toward employees and of definite surpression in large Toron to and Montreal newspapers ’ of articles critical of Eatons-one of the papers’ largest advertisers. Surely voluntary censorship of this sort is indicative of the harm that comes from unwritten, though clearly apparent laws about how far “little” people can actually go in challenging histories, names, titles, families and institutions. lt is just this aspect of ‘knowing one’s place” that -the Last Post most directly dealt with-the specific legalities of Eaton’s transactions for land or buildings with other developers is of little importance unless we first decide. on what basis the company enters the negotiations in the first place and in what frame of mind it deals with both employees and the duly elected (not to mention dispossessed) people to whom the city is home. The following quotation from the article writer Hankinson attacks serves to summarize what we feel .he is overlooking, and what should refresh readers’ memories of the points in question. “(Eaton ‘s. . .a company that has, in the past, led the way in such things as shorter hours and pension schemes yet possesses a terror and hatred of unionism. . . ‘A family that has distributed millions through official charities, that builds churches and monuments and finances entire machine-gun batteries for the war, yet used its financial leverage to work against the public good, control newspapers, and erect its splendid cathedral of opulence on a mountain of poor wages and arbitrary, dictatorial and paternalistic management. ‘The Eatons were not only interested in making money. The Eatons wanted, and got, power, influence and-like all merchants who made their money in not the most glamorous field of capitalist endeavor-prestige and status. Lady Eaton is not an abberation, but the logical development of what this empire was founded on. “Profit is the prime goal, but not the only one. And once wealth is attained, as with the Carnegie and Rockefeller fortunes, come the philanthropy and sponsorship of the arts, and the titles. Above all, rich and powerful, the Eatons wanted to be respected, even loved by the little people of Canada. ‘Like an ancient institution that history long ago decreed should have died, or at least transformed, it maintains its stresses within in order to resist change.“-rats
