‘Under Attack by george kaufman the chevron
Students who attended the first night of taping four “Under ’ Attack” television shows on campus Wednesday night expecting dramsatic or conclusive confrontations must have gone away quite disappointed. The show advertises itself as an “attack” or “confrontation” situation, trying hard to reconstruct the spontaneous “hot-seat” environments of the famous old pre-electronic debating societies. Due to the technology factor and the shift of public respect -and interest in so-called debates or confrontations, the format of “Under Attack” is doomed to suffer ups and downs, depending on many factors. In Wednesday night’s tapings, one guest “attackee” was able to ignore or gloss over touchy points, while the other found that he could ,glve long and vague responses

closer to a political speech than a debate reply. Laurie Lea Schaeffer, current Miss America, swept onto the stage after a X)-minute delay exuding american wallstreet femininity : lipstick, white smile and a evening-gown-type dress which hit well below her knees. “Hi,” she quipped in testing her mike, “I’m Miss America and the reason we’re so late is that it took so long to put the plastic lamentation on me.” Obviously, she was more than familiar with the. slings and arrows that would be aimed,at her by the three young female panel members. With a drum roll from heaven, the hot tv lights came on, an orange bulb went on atop one of the three cameras and Under Attack was on. Unfortunately, the panel is automatically at a disadvantage on this kind of show. Their time is

The terminology of revolution, indeed the terminology of revolution itself, is charged with heavy emotive response to the point of rendering us deaf to cries for understanding. . lhe West Pakistan calls the east, now bangla Desh, insurgents, terrorists, rebels. The easterners call themselves freedom fighters, the Ii beration army, the people’s movement. The people of Bangla Desh refer to their past connection with the wclst as a state of colonial domination, oppression, and economic rape. -1hey now feel they are claiming the rights given to themselves through Cl legal and fair election. 1he west has nothing but obvious contempt for the east and all C~ttc~nll)ts now in the military action are “to re-unite our country and as to crush the revolutionaries”. The question remains unanswered social whtlther union will mean still m&e-. colonial rule and clcgradation for the east. While you read this, human beings continue to die in East Pakistan. Is the Canadian government-you-supporting these deaths? The chevron presents a four-page examination of the embattled place called Bangle Desh starting on page

divided three ways-plus the considerable time given members of the audience at the floor mikeswhile their adversary has more control over the direction of the questioning. And Schaeffer’s panel took the wrong turns immediatly. She was attacked for trying to look the part of middle America’s concept of women, while the women on the panel were wearing the uniform of the “new” woman : blue jeans, suede vests with fringe and fake tie-dye shirts. The generally calm Miss America used this and several mistakes in the research literature handed out to the panelists to make points with the audience on several occasions. The panelists also took a particularly vicious tack in their questioning at points and pushed some of the audience sympathy toward Schaeffer . Miss America also made use of another ploy: when caught in a situation, contradictory she pleaded guilty to the charge and simply asked the audience to forgive her for not being perfect. She admitted, in this way, that her claim to being representative of young american people was open to attack, since the judges who picked her were not young.
reed confronfufions “This is a part of the pageant I hope is changed soon,” she apologized. She similarly begged the question on her outlook on premarital sex and drug-taking, both of which she admits she hasn’t tried, but is against anyway. “It’s too bad I was raised to think that way, because it makes me narrow-minded on the subjects, but I wouldn’t want to change my opinions just because of peer pressure. That wouldn’t make me feel right about them.” John Todd, spokesman for the Vietnam Veterans for a Just Peace, approached the Situation by trying to bore the audience to death. The overflow audience for the first taping had thinned out to about three-fourths capacity for Todd’s taping, and those who stayed had little to cheer or boo, unlike the lively Miss America session. Due to the fact that Todd is temporarily blind because of a combat injury, and the more emotional political feelings involved over the Vietnam war, the Todd sessibn was much more tense and emotional. Todd broke down almost all the attacks against his stand by making long, ambiguous analyses of the situations, not allowing the more effective method of fast questions forcing revelation of contradictions. Of the recent elections in Vietnam’ which have been criticized as being rigged, Todd responded that “we shouldn’t expect a young democracy to come up to our standards yet.” ,
He termed defoliation methods and tear gas attacks as “humane” combat, which they are when the attackers allow him to compare them to outright slaughter, the alternative he said the US is not taking. He said the difference between the US and other countries is that the Americans “do not try to bomb orphanages. ” Only one panelist got points from Todd with the audience, when Todd asked the panelists to put themselves “in a rice paddy for a moment.” “A burnt-out rice paddy or one still producing food?” shot back a panel member to an ovation from the crowd. The audience remained subdued then, however, until near the end of the show when a member of the audience asked Todd if he’d ever used the terms “gook” or “slope” while in Vietnam. “No, I am innocent of that,” replied Todd, though he admit-ted that “occupying armies” often use “names like that” on the natives. “But I went through combat training and I was never taught that,” defended Todd. “I went through combat training too,” returned the member of the audience, “and I heard that term (gooks) all the way through.” “But you didn’t have to believe that,” Todd replied, “you should make up your own mind on things like that...” “That’s right,” the attacker interrupted, “and that’s why I’m here instead of in Vietnam.” The audience erupted in response. Nothing, however, was resolved since the cameras clicked off right after that exchange and the night’s work was over. But judge for yourself; all four Waterloo tapings will appear on national television within about a month. Consult your local listings, as they say.
Consphcy * charged in Toronto demonsttwfion TORONTO (CUP) - Eleven people were arrested October 16 and fifteen store front windows broken after police and demonstrators commemorated the first anniversary of the imposition of the war measures act by clashing outside Eaton’s department store in downtown Toronto. Demonstrators marched down Toronto’s Yonge street strip chanting slogans like “Free Paul Rose”. Uniformed police followed the 100 protestors in cars and on motorcycles. Plainclothesmen marched inconspicuously behind the chanting crowds. Taking their police escort by surprise, some of the demonstrators holding Quebec patriot streamers broke into a run outside Eaton’s and charged down a side street, breaking fifteen of the corporation’s display windows. Police movbd in and, after scuffling with demonstrators, arrested eleven people. Demonstrators confined their trashing to Eaton’s. No other stores, including

the adjacent Simpson’s and Woolworth’s, were damaged. Eaton’s, one of the largest Canadian corporations, has a particularly bad record in union relations. All attempts to organize their workers have been foiled by the company. In Quebec, Eaton’s has been criticised by left groups as the major symbol of anglophone corporate domination. All those arrested. have been charged with mischief to property and conspiracy. In addition, four of the eleven have been charged with possession of dangerous weapons and two with common assault. The conspiracy charges may be based on posters appearing all over the city last week calling for people to demonstrate in aid of the Quebecois’ struggle against the Canadian state. The media has billed the demonstration as the work of red morning, the militant. socialist group who put up the posters. Only four of the eleven arrested, however, were members of the group.

Federwtiori by Joan Walters the chevron
lthough no one seems to want to admit it, a large part of the current turmoil within the -federation of students around appears to centre federation president Rick Page’s philosophy for the federation’s future. The problems which have come to light in recent council resignations and action involve three questions : 8 defining the role of the federation of students ; l the manner in which students should become involved with the federation ; l how to deal with the interests, problems and aspirations of the students. Up to this time, neither the executive nor the council has any clear idea how these three issues should be attadked. Carl Sulliman, recently resigned vice-president of the federation, told the chevron “the job of the federation should be to instil1 a conciousness in the people around it and directly involved in it. Sulliman feels that the societies on campus are getting in the way of that genuine communication. Speaking specifically of engsoc, he said, “There are two instances where the society has shown up at federation meetings. Their first position was to impeach Page and their second appearance was made to embrace him.”
A
spoon-feeding
too long
in danger: Warren Hull, president of the engineering society denied that the society is preventing communication. He explained that when the society impeached Page, they felt that there was a clique in the federation and that the organization was too far removed from the students-particularly the engineers. “Later though,” said Hull, “Page made an effort to spend a lot of time talking to me. He’d spend about two hours every other week in my office and now there’s fantastic communication going.”
Media needed
*
Sulliman recommended that the chevron begin a media campaign to educate the students on the functions of the organization. “The federation can talk all it wants but it really depends on the media to disseminate information”, he said. Sulliman said his decision to resign as vice president was partly based on a conviction that he would be able to accomplish more as a councillor . Page and Sulliman seem to hold the same views concerning the federation executive. Sulliman said that “the executive has been spoon-feeding the students and councillors for too long. If the council gets together and gets involved, more problem solving should occur. ”

Blaney, federation Dave chairman of the creative arts board and candidate for arts representative on the council, holds
approximately
“Rick was quite right in saying that the job of president is meeting the members of the federation”, said Blaney . “Everyone on the executive and the council in fact should try to do this because now, the federation is in danger of losing a great deal of its autonomy.” “The students are not sure that the federation is relevant any more and the federation, on the other hand, is receiving a great deal of pressure from the administra+~3i.” Ric” I ,igc, federation president, stalkk, ‘!at the organization shouldn’t i-t: dependent on the i executive :>rnd should stand for itself. He feels that the federation has to “‘break itself down into a grassroots organization as quickly as it can” and is confident that the support he has received from engsoc, environmental studies and part of the council will facilitate this. Hull agrees witli this but explained that “even though decentralization is wanted, there has to be a central organization to coordinate all the activities”. Luke Aujame however, science rep to the council, does not agree with the “grass-roots” philosophy, “Grass-roots doesn’t mean anything”, he said. “You can’t de anything with de-centralization; it’s what you put into the council that is important.” “If the federation doesn’t change it’s policy towards students, decentralization won’t make any difference”, said Aujame.

view. “One must remember and return to the fact that the federation is the students, not the executive or the council”, he said.
“The question is what do you ‘want the federation to be? It can either be the expression of the aspirations of students in every field or it can be a technocratic machine that dictates the positions of professionals”, explained Aujame. Neither Page nor Aujame felt that Sulliman’s resignation would hurt the council. Aujame feels that it may have come at the wrong time, but that it will probably accelerate a number of people on the council to decide what they feel is the function of the council. “That’s what I’ll be working towards” , said Aujame. Sulliman feels that his will specifically resignation necessitate a re-assessment form Page on the functions of the federation. Aujame stated that it’s a question of aspirations. “For Page, it’s aspirations in the form of pubs and concerts.” he saidi “That’s like deciding that the aspiration of every student at

Waterloo is to be conservative or liberal and that this is what we (the federation) should be.” Blaney refuted this, saying, “The idea that all Rick Page is after is more bread and cir.cuses is not particularly relevant. In doing what he did -concentrating on pubs and concerts- Page was doing what the students wanted at one particular time.” All federation members emphasized that student involvement is a major question. Page’s philosophy that the federation can go one of two ways-professional or “grassroots”-is based on the assumption that either will succeed with support from the students. Aujame, however, felt that Page’s ideas of student involvemnt have nothing to do with the running of the federation. “If you’re giving the students pubs and concerts, you’re asking for observation instead of participation” said Aujame. Blaney emphasized that some people on council have the idea that this type of thing is new to the federation. “It’s one of those things that happen in every organization”, he said. “There are conflicts of personality and conflicts over policy. The problem is really the result of two distinct opinions about what place the federation should have on campus.”
Campus “conciousness”

The question of “conciousness” was also raised. “Everyone talks about conciousness’ ’ , Aujame explained. “It expresses itself in a very. simple way through people who work together on a number of ideas. That’s the only way it can by truly expressed. “The lack of political organizations on campus, for example, is an expression of a lack of conciousness,.” Sulliman, too, commented that one of the jobs of the federation should be to instil1 a conciousness in the students.

some ways. “The more people that get to .be vice president, the better”, he explained. i “People should become interested and when that interest catches them, the philosophy should be-‘I’m going to get involved to see what makes this thing tick’. The more people interested, the more chance there is of learning on an involvement level”. Aujame feels that it’s a problem of a lack of certain type of people on campus. “There should always be a number of people who are more aware of what is necessary for the students to find solutions to their particular problem”, agreed the science rep. “But the question now is that these people just don’t exist. If they did, the federation wouldn’t be in the position it’s in now.” “The solution to this particular problem”, he explained, “is for the federation to dig deeper and find the ideas held by the students at this university about everything from politics to course content “.
Student ideas vital Blaney also feels that a job of council is to discover what the students’ opinions are and return them to the administration in the form of recommendations. “The executive and the council have a role in desseminating information to give students a chance to make their own decisions”, said Blaney. “They also have a duty to the students to justify the existence of the federation, just as they must justify the use of money.” On the function of the position of federation . vice president, Sulliman said, “Any political office is an interruption in one’s life and hopefully, the person in that ,ffice can deal with the interruption honestly. But it’s important not to become a fixture of the organization.” “I was very happy and found it interesting to serve in the elitist position of vice-president”, he said, “and it is an elitist position; second student on campus - that type of thing.”

Canada is just another bananna republic as far as the United States is concerned, Waterloo students were told ttiesday by Vancouver writer and long time trade unionist Jack Scott. Scott added that the book value of US subsidiaries in Canada exceeds the amount of total US direct investment in Europe, and in total US investments in Latin America. “One out of every three dollars invested by the US is invested in Canada,” Scott told his audience. He also pointed out that the US don’t need a manufacturing industry in Canada they just want to control our resources. He mentioned NOWAPL, the US plan which would create one big lake stretching from British. Columbia to Ontario (which the Canadian Government have not yet rejected or accepted) as an example of U.S. designs on our resources. “We have become extremely important to the US to the point where US industry cannot survive without our resources.” He cited the present economic crises as a move by the US to force Canada into economic integration which would of course involve political integration. “Up to now the US have not wanted political control in Canada, they preferred that we be ruled by a native elite.

election
A low proportion of people turned out to vote in the artsoc - council elections on Wednesday. This didri’t matter much as ten of the fourteen positions available were acclaimed. Benovoy , president of the society termed the election a success in comparing it to previous arts elections. The formation of a council and the creation of a constitution means that student refunds are now available in Room 177b humanities. Benovoy does not favor returning money to the students. It is his opinion that all arts students, whether they realize it or not, benefit from the activities and programmes initiated by the union of arts societies and it’s dependent clubs. Many of the services are only indirectly experienced by the members. He gave for an example the fact that a large proportion of the money dispersed to the clubs is channeled directly into ex-
ci claimed
penditures fcr the departmental libraries, which are at the disposal of all art’s students. He feels that if all art’s students benefit in some way from the dispersement of society fees, such fees should therefore be nonrefundable. Benovoy has also submitted a proposal to the fee study committee that the societies’ fees should be raised from the present assesment of two dollars and fifty cents per student to five dollars.

The attitude of the AF of L was no different towards Canada during this period Scott continued, as the alien labor law was aimed primarily at the migration of Canadian workers as Federationist editorials and. inter union correspondence clearly point out.
Scott wound up by saying, “the reality of the situation is that the AF of L is not an international union but an American one which sees it’s glory bound up in the glory of the american empire. Their willingness to unionize the texpack strikebreakers even though the Canadian Textile Union was striking legitimately against this company should wake up Canadian workers all ‘over this country.”

The US will determine their moves on the basis of material needs and in this connection we are more important than the natives of any bananna republic he added. Scott outlined two alternatives for Canada, independance or integration, and pointed out that Trudeau’s middle path of modified integration would be the first. step down a road from which there could be no return. Stressing the importance of the role of labour in the move towards independance, he pointed out that as long as the Canadian workers remain under the American Federation of Labour they will not be able to play a part in our fight for survival. Ever since it was spawned the AF of L has supported the foreign policy of the U.S. he charged. He pointed to the attitude of the AF of L when the Phillipines were being taken over as an example of what Canadians might expect. “Sure they were opposed to the outright acquisition of colonies, but mainly because of, the threat of “semi-savage” cheap alleged labor.” Scott stated.

BRANTFORD (CUF$The threemonth strike against Texpack, ltd., ended monday night when strikers voted 102 to 19 in favor of accepting a new two-year contract. Under = the agreement, the predominantly female workforce will get raises totalling 44 cents an hour over the next two years. The basic wage before the strike was 1.93 dollars an hour. Included in the contract is a company guarantee that 140 to 145 of the nearly 200 workers who were laid off or striking will be rehired by the end of the year. This was the top priority of the workers’ bargaining unit. The contract between the Canadian textile and chemical union and the Brantford branch plant of the huge american friday

But now the strike is over. The union has made reasonable gains and while they haven’t broken american hospital (profits exceeded 25 million dollars last year), they have shown the Canadian public via newsmedia coverage another example of unfair american management practice against the Canadian labour they employ so cheaply.

The insurance ads imply that under the NDP plan the driver may actually pay more than under the present competitive system. But in the statement the NDP claims that the driver’s cost can be reduced from 15 to 20 per cent and that a person’s driving record and not his age, marital status or standing in the community should be the criteria for rates.
The *advertisements sponsored by “independent Canadian insurance companies and agents” flooded radio and newspapers in the past few weeks. Direct mailing was also used by the group, the membership of which was never specified. People who listened to radio during the past weeks found that the air waves seemed to be either sponsored by William Davis or by the insurance agents attacking the “socialist” NDP on its plan.
The plan, which’ is modelled after the one in Manitoba, would require every driver to purchase what they call the “basic package.” This includes a 200 dollar deductible all-perils policy which includes a 50,000 dollar inclusive third-party liability insurance plus a payment for loss of use by theft.
“The insurance ads make people angry because they offend people’s sense of fair play,” said John Wilson campaign manager for Jo Surich, the NDP standard bearer for Waterloo North.
In reply to the plea lettered in red on one of the insurance phamphlets of “please save our to jobs”, the NDP has promised make a place in the public plan for any agent who now makes a substantial part of his income from selling car insurance.
Last week the NDP challenged members of the insurance-industry to a public debate on the issue, but according to Wilson they “copped out because they claimed it was unethical to debated with one political party on the eve of the election. This was after they had been advertising for two weeks.”

album True North TN 3) should consolidate his position as a real live home-grown superstar. You’ve probably heard “One Day I Walk” on AM by now, and suffice it 1to say that the remainder of the LP is just as beautiful and intensely felt. I don’t know whether it’s a change in the recording technique or in Bruce’s self presentation, but in any case his voice is much fuller, his guitar playing more assertive, and his lyrics less ethereal than on his first album, which for me makes it that much more of a success. One highpoint, of many: “Ting Cauldron,” a mildly avant garde jam utilizing boo barns, salad bowls, and a “pygmy rhythm log” (among others), which reminds me of the extended pieces Sandy Bull has done for Vanguard. But enough: take your Canadian money and go Canadian out to buy this great record from a great Canadian company.

Lennon
The .main source of John Lennon’s popularity has been that he has served as a mirror for so many of us who began listening to him in the early sixties as the “head beatle” (the pun would not have been understood by most back then 1. John started out wanting to hold our hand, actually came right out and said he wanted to make love to us by the group’s fifth album, and then got into some heavy politicalpeace music. After following-or leading?-the movement out to the reaches of nihilism, John then reacted as did many radicals who, by the middle of the sixties had found themselves dragged out to a destructive and hate-filled threshhold of a new barbarism, by recanting with statements like “Revolution.” In that song, John makes it clear that slow progress is better than violent change. Since breaking with the Beatles-actually with Paul, since Ringo and George have remained friendsand gathering the moral strength of Yoko, John has done what few artists, and certainly extremely few popular musicians, have the courage for. After such a long time of writing about the external world through his eyes, John has turned his gaze inward upon his own soul and his own justifications for what he does and has done.
failing which shouldn’t keep you from acquiring a superb album by a powerhouse band. Some of Winter’s roots are stage front on The Johnny Otis Show Live at Monterey! (Epic EG 30473, which showcases a galaxy of the famous and not so famous Rhythm & Blues greats. Ivory Joe Hunter, Esther Phillips, and Big Joe Turner may be familiar to you, but what about Delmar “Mighty Mouth”Evans or Gene “The Mighty Flea” Connors? Rest easy, this isn’t a mixed bag of dubious “goldies”, but an all-star concert which documents the continuing vitality of a tradition. If you get a chance to hear it, don’t miss Esther Phillips’ blues trilogy on side S-she’s right up there with Aretha, and *certainly deserves an album of her own. R & B never died, it just went underground for a while, and here Johnny Otis brings it back alive and well. PC & E (Columbia C30362),‘* formerly Pacific Gas & Electric, have shortened their name and added five new faces, but I still fail to detect a distinct musical personality which would differentiate them from a host of equally competent groups. They have some definite strengths, notably the solid rhythnic foundation provided by drummer Ron Woods and Bassist Frank Petricca, and it was a good idea to add “The Blackberries” (no jive) on background vocals. Ken Utterbeck’s lead guitar and Charlie Allen’s singing, however. simply can’t sustain interest without a lot of help from the rest of the group, which is not always forth-coming. On the less frenetic numbers, such as “Thank God For You Baby” and “Short ‘Dogs and PG & E does some Englishman,” nice, relaxed things; if they ever
start taking their cues from Dr. John rather than Buddy Miles, they could become a band to reckon with. The Byrds are one group who have developed their own thing, of which Byrdmaniax (Columbia KC 30640) is the latest manifestation. They don’t really knock me out, but it’s only fair to say that if you’re already a Byrds fan, you’ll probably be happy with this album: it’s reminiscent of both The Notorious Byrd Brothers and Ballad of Easy Rider in its use of strings and in the inclusion of a lot of country & western-style material, as well as in the sort of thoroughgoing eclecticism which follows the boppish “Tunnel of Love” with the Loeney Toon-ish incidental music of “Citizen Kane.” The Byrds are never less than fun, and when “Sneaky Pete” gets off on his pedal steel, they’re a good deal more than that. To end on an upbeat, Chase (Epic 30472) has been out for a while, but if you haven’t heard it you’ve got a treat coming. Chase is a nine-man jazz-rock group which combines the tight arrangements of Blood, Sweat, & Tears with the improvisational abilities of Dreams (another fine Columbia group>. Although many efforts of this sort turn out to be nothing more than jazz horn players fronting a rock rhythm section, Chase uses the amplified instruments-guitar, organ, pianofor color as well as rhythm, and comes up with music which is both good jazz and good rock. One small slap on the wrists, , nevertheless, for short playing time-only 31 minutes. But then, 31 minutes of Chase are worth more than 31 hours of Grand Funk Railroad-right, readers?-so I still recommend it. Paul Stuewe

Saturday, march 16, saw the Czech-String Quartet’s concert in the theatre of the arts which started off the Conrad Grebel Music-Lecture series. There were somewhere around zero empty seats for this concert, perhaps because people have noticed that it is the only serious- classical instrumental concert on schedule in the university this year, the University Artists . Series being devoted wholly to Ed Sullivan productions, it seems. Would that your humble reviewer could hail this as a solid beginning to an exciting series, but you’ll have to go to Toronto, or practically any university in Ontario except Waterloo for that, I fear. Safety first seems to have been the rule in programming here: Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven, and indeed, early Haydn, middle Mozart, and early Beethoven at that. Perhaps excursions into Janecek or even Smetana or Dvorak, which one would ordinarily look forward to from a group of this lineage, were regarded as rather too venturesome for Waterloo audiences? Notes for the Conrad Grebel series inform us that the Czech players have been around, and indeed, on matters of precision of ensemble and an obviously firm grip on the letter of the material at hand, nothing more could be asked. Somehow, though, what we got was a genial, competent, pleasant, but uninspired level of performance throughout the evening, with one notable exception. The group is capable of considerable beauty of sound, but did not as often produce it as the music deserved. The first _violinist, in particular, was just a wee bit coarse in his general sound, and also an about equally wee bit off in his intonation every so often. (One suspects that they were a bit tired, perhaps owing to a last-minute drive up from Hamilton. If so, though, it is interesting that their unity of ensemble suffered not in the slightest. 1 Besides this, an evident shortage

of vitality showed through fairly consistently, and a lack of subtlety in, for example, the magnificent slow movement of the Mozart K. 428. The hypothesis that the first violinist tended to set the general pattern is, perhaps, somewhat confirmed by the one movement in the evening when, suddenly, all doubts were swept aside and we had music making of a very high order, viz., in the Minuet of the Beethoven 4th quartet. Sustained elsewhere, such playing would have rendered the evening a major triumph, rather than a minor success. Haydn’s op. 20, the so-called “Sun” quartets, represented a giant step forward in the development of the string quartet. A major (arguably the finest, on some views) product of Haydn’s “Storm and Stress” period, which came to a height in 1772, the year of their composition, these pieces amaze one by comparison with their predecessors in this genre. Both in the complexity of treatment, and in their emotional content, they took the musically knowledgeable of Europe by storm, and are altogether mature masterpieces. Most notable here in the fourth and perhaps best of the lot, in D major, is the elegant theme of the “Un poco Adagio ed affettuoso” movement, which is given variation treatment; and the altogether charming minuet in “Gypsy” manner, whose syncopated treatment approaches polyrhythm. The final Presto is a whirlwind movement-better performed by the Czechs in their repeat of it as an encore, which is a bit late, unfortunately. The Mosart 16th quartet (K. 428, in E flat major 1 is the third of the group of six dedicated to Haydn and known as the “Haydn” quartets. (It was after hearing the last three of these at a concert that Haydn made the famous tribute to Mozart, saying to the latter’s father that “Before God and as an honest man, I tell you that your son is the greatest composer known to me either in person or by name.“) Their composition was again, as

The opening
with his preceding quartets, inspired by those of Haydn, but this time there is nothing imitative or derivative about them. K. 428 is as archetypically Mozartean as they come. Again I would mention the remarkable and eloquent slow movement, which has advanced harmonic effects, justly likened by one of my sources to Wagner’s Tristan, and the unbelievable sureness of counterpoint and development in the finale. Of the first half-dozen quartets of Beethoven, written when Beethoven was about 31, I find it completely astonishing that so much mastery could be evident when no earlier compositions in the form seem to have been completed by him. Here we have works which, for all their reliance. on the masterworks of Haydn, start right off with an expressive power of a quite extraordinarily individual order. In the case of number 4, in fact the last in order of composition, who could confuse more than a few bars of it with anything by Haydn or even Mozart? The opening theme is “one of the first authentic examples of the Beethovenian melody-large, powerful, expressive, and simple”. A counter theme in major key adds to the drama of this powerful movement. The following scherzo has a characteristically intriguing footstepping theme reminding me slightly of that of the Fifth Symphony. The Minuet is quite unlike most classical minuets in spirit, being a chromatic, passionate, searching movement; perhaps these qualities were what brought out the best in the Czech musicians. The finale, actually a rondo in form, is simply a powerhouse, whose pell me11 development concedes little to classical molds, and quite fittingly foreshadows the fully-blown romanticism of the middle quartets of a half-dozen years later. Only some of this got through in the rather pedestrian performances of our visitors-but enough to make one wish heartily that Waterloo’s concertizing did not come to a stop just as it began,

SACKVILLE (CUP&A report prepared by students for the student council of Mount Allison university recommends that the university newspaper Argosy weekly be taken over by the student union, breaking a centuryold tradition. The paper is ‘currer$ly financed by the university and the final word on its publication-the power to sack the editor-rests with university president Dr LH Cragg. Another report, prepared during the summer at the behest of Cragg by a joint commission of students, members and adfaculty ministrators, recommends perpetuating the newspaper under administration control.

The Argosy review commission (ARC) recommetids elaborate structural changes in the paper but wants it to remain under the rein of the administration 1 through university budget financing. The student report advocates removal of the Argosy from administration control to make it an autonomous student publication funded by the student union. The president’s commission recommends an eight-member publishers board that would have one administrator, two faculty members, three students, an alumnus and the university’s accountant who would not have a vote.

police clearing streets well in advance and not interfering with the marchers in any way. There was more window-breaking as the marchers entered the business district. Several windows of the’ Royal Bank at the corner of SteCatherine and St-Denis were smashed. Bottles were thrown at’ the Power Corporation connected Voyageur-Colonial Bus Terminal, and more’ windows were broken at the Hydro Quebec building on Dorchester. The building is Robert Bourassa’s Montreal headquarters. Raymond Lemieux, the final speaker, said he hoped that thosit present would turn out for future demonstrations, and then announced that the crowd should disperse. Not all the demonstrators took his advice, however. About 1,000 marchers broke through a police barricade, and moved south on St-Urbain St. in an attempt to reach the Power Corporationowned La Presse building. A squad of police tried to prevent the marchers from getting through. The demonstrators responded by ripping out .fences from a Trans-Canada Highway construction site to build a barricade between them and the police. Another squad began to move in from the east. The demonstrators placed a car in the middle of the road as a barricade, and built fires in trash cans. More police moved in from the west, hoping to encircle the demonstrators, who began to throw rocks and debris from the construction site. By this time, many of the demonstrators were simply milling around, watching the police, and waiting to see what would happen. As the police, mounted on motorcycles, began to close in, most of the demonstrators fled. The riot police then subdued , the remaining demonstrators. An estimated 20 arrests .were made, but the Montreal police, contacted sunday (October 17) by the McGill Daily said they “didn’t know” who they were, or what charges, if any, had been laid against them.
MONTREAL (CUPFAbout 4,000 marchers found little to inspire them in Saturday’s (October 16) demonstration organized by the front commun pour la defence de la langue francaise. The march from part Lafontaine through Montreal’s east end, finishing with a rally in front of the Hydro Quebec building, failed to present a single coherent message or plan of action due to the presence of groups with different and sometimes contradictory aims. Raymond At the rally, Reggie Chartrand and Lemieux spoke specifically about education Bills 28 and 63, and generally about the need for a frenchspeaking Quebec. Robert Lemieux provided a fitting anti-climax to the demonstration with his remarks: “The language struggle is important, but it is only part of our struggle.” He went on to point out the need to fight for political and economic rights, rather than concentrating solely on the language issue. Many of the marchers were observing the first anniversary of the invocation of the war measures act. In fact, six men wearing papier mache heads of Trudeau, Bourassa, Choquette, Turner, Drapeau, and a capitalist, carried a coffin labelled ‘democracie’ at the head of the march. As the demonstrators marched through the residential areas, shouts of “Quebec& clans la rue” brought many citizens out of their houses to join the march or to watch from the sidewalks. The edifice de la ministere de justice was surrounded by more than 200 members of the Quebec provincial police equipped with helmets and riot sticks. The demonstrators shouted insults and threw rocks as they passed the QPP headquarters. The police ran into the building when demonstrators began climbing the fences and throwing sticks and vegetables at them. Tension increased as marshals asked the marchers not to provoke the police. Up to this point, the mood of the march had been calm, with Montreal

AIMSon The student report says the ARC “Merely seems to have accepted the fact that there should be a university paper, that it should be a student-staffed paper, and that it would be desireable if some of the older, more experienced, and therefore responsible “stabler” people in the community had a say, not especially to act as a control, but as a form of insurance.” The basic assumptions on which this reasoning lies are wrong, the student report asserts. “Any sFh control is in itself an interference in the main function of the newspaper.” The report then. recommends that the council reject the ARC recommendation regarding a publishers board unless its makeup is 100 percent student. “We don’t believe the SAC has any choice if it decides that the campus wants and needs a truly responsible iournal.”

Pollution wobe I

* OTTAWA (CUP) Federal minister of the environment Jack Davis refused a $1,000 gift from pollution probe groups in Ontario, oc tober 14. Pollution probe’s 60 foot resources recycling caravan, filled with recycleable waste materials valued at about $1,000, visited parliament hill to encourage the federal government to develop a recycling policy. To help finance the development of a federal recycling policy, a “deed” for cash value of the contents of the pp caravan was signed over to the federal department of the environment by pollution probe co-ordinator Monte Hummel. However, Davis refused to sign the deed accepting the, grant, and said it would be better if the money “was turned directly over to a recycling project.” Davis agreed that there is a “big waste” problem in Canada, and said the challenge is to “*make the economics” of recycling work.
Pollution probe representatives made it clear they thought the leadership should come from the federal government. “Despite the fact that interested citizens have set up recycling depots in large metropolitan centres and in hundreds of smaller communities...we still have no strong policy statement or legislation from any level of government. ’ ’ . said Hummel. The $1,000 worth of materials in the caravan included university computer filing cards, aluminum products such as pie plates, tin cans, crushed glass, paper, and dried sewage. The caravan has collected these materials since October 7 at municipally endorsed depots in Windsor, London, Kitchener-Waterloo, Burlington, Toronto, Port Hope, Kingston, Prescott and Ottawa.

ow did you spend this summer? Beautiful beaches, enchanted forests, working for money to further your education? This summer in East Pakistan millions of refugees spent their time freeing from hot gun barrels, screaming jets, artillery fire, and the silent killers; starvation and complete despair. Here it comes (you say), more tragic tidbits to whet our gruesome news-consuming appetite. Stanley Burke describes the current apathy toward the hideous situation in East Pakistan as a case of “compassion fatigue”. After My Lai and Biafra, and Attica, and the Indians and Eskimos, atid- the Vancouver riots we just don’t have the capacity to react any more. Or do we? How can you be influenced to read this article completely? All that can be done is to ask that you do so, and if you do, beware the feeling there is nothing you can do. There is a hesitation to launch into a lecture on responsibility but stand informed that there is no one alive who can affor_d the luxury of apathy. Not only will you eventually get the government you deserve-but also the world you deserve.

Reporter: Anthony Mascarenhas, Sunday Times, june 13, 1971. You may have read newspaper reports on east Pakistan and they may not have had any effect on you because of their cryptic style and lack of background information. Reports of- genocide are usually more avidly read than background political information. Pakistan is divided and has been since its establishment by partition in 1947. It is in two sections, west and east, with approximately one thousand miles of India in the middle. Imagine the maritimes and the western provinces as one country with Ontario and Quebec dividing them and you will have grasped the geography of the situation. The western sector is considerably larger than the east of Pakistan and yet the largest population, about seventy five million, live in the east (as compared to fifty five million in the west). The seat of the national government is in-the western sectqr in the city of Karachi. During the years since the establishment of Pakistan, the west has maintained complete control over the east both politically and economically. Raw materials from the east were shipped to the west around the bottom of India through the Bay of Bengal and the Indian Ocean. The products were then processed in the west and shipped back to the east as finished products, again by the same route, but, the price which the easterners had to pay for the products was almost double the price the west paid. Needless to say, this alone caused some friction as knowledge of this kind of economic imperialism became known to the people of the east.

“I have seen tru kloads of human target: As in most strife situations, religious beliefs had their part to play as well. The Muslims of the west, who after all were pakistanis,because they would not live in India with the Hindus, looked down upon the Muslims in the east, primarily b&ause the easterners were more recent converts to Islam and because of the Bengali culture which influenced the forms of worship. The westerners thought this k.ind of manipulating of religion was proof that the Bengali Muslims in East Pakistan (whose brothers of the Hindu religion lived just across the border in Bengal State of India) were really Hindus in disguise and were flagrantly enjoying life at the expense of the west, in a country which should not be theirs in the first place. The reference in the above passage from the Sunday.Times to the question of circumcision as a determination of allegiance stems from the custom of obligatory circumcision for all Muslims. Hindus who were converts to Islam (the name of the Muslim religion), especially the Bengali converts, were averse to this kind of practise and indeed in the villages of East Pakistan, the operation for an older man would be dangerous and extremely painful. In fact, this type of inspection offered no proof at all of religious belief in the east. However if an uncircumcised man is today found in the east by western soldiers, he will be shot.
How did it begin: chronology of disaster Jack Lakavitch was working for the world student Christian federation in East Pakistan during the prelude to the bloodbath. Since he was to work in the east he made it his business to discover the essence of the conflict. Here is a transcription of an interview conducted this week by Radio Waterloo. . LAKAVITCH: We’ll go back to december the seventh when they held their national election. This was the first election that has been held since 1947 on such a wide basis. The main party in the east, the Awami League, won a total landslide in the east. In fact, not only did they gain the popular majority in the east, they had a majority for, the entire country. There were 313 seats altogether, 169 of which were in East Pakistan; the Awami League won 167 of them. Their election campaign was based on a six-pqint formula to correct all the ills, social and economic, between east and west. In other words, to give East Pakistan (Bengal) autonomy so they could take charge of their own area. RADIO WATERLOO: So the election was actually run on a good basis of democratic principles? LAKAVITCH: This is a point that should be made strongly. It was the best election in their history; there was no corruption, this is official. Even the Pakistan government said this after the election,
RADIO WATERLOO: That’s an important thing to say, especially to the western countries from which aid comes. Now the results of the election? LAKAVITCH: The huge majority from t,he east made the west terribly afraid and very nervous for the future because suddenly East Pakistan was going to dominate the whole political set-up. The party from the west which really lost many seats to the Awami League becan to make noises about boycotting the first assembly. The assembly was set for march 3, which is rather late but the Awami League, although they wanted the assembly held much earlier, agreed to march 3. The people in the west began to drag their feet and then decided not to attend the assembly, so of course the president postponed the assembly indefinetly.This was on march first. RADIO WATERLOO: Does this mean the president was effectively refusing the Awami League the right to govern, as the people had given them the mandate to do? LAKAVITCH: Yes, because he was afraid as were many of the industrial interests in the west that they would lose-out completely. RADIO WATERLOO: Is it true there are only twenty-two industrial families in the west which effectively control the economy of I the entire country? LAKAVITCH: Yes, absolutely. But the six-point formula for changing the economic systems’meant that the only power the central government would have would be to provide defense and to handle foreign affairs. But all the other bureaucratic functions would be handled by the Bengalis, by the East Pakistanis themselves. RADIO WATERLOO: Now when the president postponed the assembly, what was the reaction in East Pakistan? LAKAVITCH: That was the straw that finally broke the camel’s back as far at the Bengalis were concerned, because at this point they were convinced that the west Pakistanis were not too keen to let the easterners take over, despite the election, and would not allow them to carry on with the sixpoint formula, although this was the platform which got them elected. So shiek Mujibur Rahman, the leader of the Awami League, called into being a non-cooperation, non-violent movement, where Dacca (capital of the eastern sector) was to observe a general strike on march 2. On the following day’ was to be the general assembly, and this would be marked by a general strike for the whole country (East Pakistan). It was amazing-everybody moved in support of this noncooperation movement. Even the opposition party in the east joined in. It was total. I have never experienced such a complete thing before. It was a complete people’s movement. Not just a segment of the population but everybddy, from the peasant to the supreme coyrt. RADIO WATERLOO: The non-cooperation movement was actually a reply to the president’s refusal to call the assembly then? What was the west’s reaction to this?
LAKAVITCH : The west Bengalis meant busines cooperation meant that E links between east and we were stopped. Banking trar The government services ir Everything. RADIO WATERLOO: This stoppage of the flow of n; west? LAKAVITCH : Right. Ther president himself arrived ostensibly to discuss the cri Dacca having these talkz% man, the army in the west v moved toward the east ternational Airways, and b gunboats. Then, on the twenty-fifth suddenly broken off, the I denly and unannounced, to is ordered to move out and I RADIO WATERLOO: The i activities which have reach almost been too horribls t substance to these stories LAKAVITCH: I was living about one hundredandtw capital city, so I wasn’t in started. But I was able tc that happened there. All I you have heard in the prc radio, the utter horror and I: fact, it is much more than tl well-equipped modern arm: force against the populatir they did.

2, I-
Independence a reality What originally was an appeal for provincial semi-autonomy has now become the foundation of a new and independent country. Bangla Desh is a political reality. The armies of the west still occupy the east. The murders and brutality continue. With it’s headquaters in Calcutta, the Bangla Desh government, or rather what is left of it after it’s members were methodically hunted down and killed, is now in the process both of seeking recognition in the world, and attempting to resist, the oppresssive west. Fourteen embassies which were formerly representing the government of west Pakistan have changed their allegiance and become representatives of the Bangla Desh government. The greatest enemy in this struggle is despair. A liberation army has been formed but its present attempt at giving even the most remote hope that East Pakistan can survive is frustrating. The destruction is unimaginable, as this report by Hugh McCullum, editor of the Canadian Churchman states:
Mr.
Tar-&s were drive? into the university grounds in Dacca and they simply opened fire on the student residence. The residence was reduced to ashes in short order and only a few escaped. Gunboats moving inland up the Brahma Putra -and the Ganges shelled villages which were built near the river.

“Whole sections of towns and villages on the khulna-jessore road are wrecked. I did not get to Decca, but the world bank, never know as a “liberal bleeding heart” organiza tion, says “It lool\h like a nuclear attack hit the university.” The central bazzar of lessore is a mass of’ twisted rubble. Along the roads crops lie rotting in the f?elds and transport is almost at a stand-still, but V’ahya Khan, Pakistan president, says these reports are exaggerated. “The world bank has warned that normalcy in East Pakistan is’ impossible until the West Pakistan army withdraws. The refuges will not return home even at gun-point. India cannot afford to feed them indefinitely. -The world community does not seem to care. famine faces the people still living in fast Pakistan. Over and over again you hear the same answer. +tonomy for Bang/a Desh. A political solution.”
What do you do about nine million refugees? Consider the population of Ontario and Quebec multiplied by a factor of ten. Then imagine that the entire population of both the western provinces from Manitoba to B.C. and the entire population of the maritimes comes strolling in for dinner in less than three months. If you can possibly get your head around that, you \Nould have some indication of the seriousness of the situation india is facing in the northern provinces. It is costing the Indian government approxiamtely 2.5 million dollars a day to feed the refugee population. But obviously this cannot continue. The question which faces each indivjdual in East Pakistan is “should I remain in Pakistan and risk being shot or risk starvation; or should -I pack my belongings and risk being shot on the roads and possibly starving in an indian refugee camp?” Some choice. When one sees the pictures of saddened, seemingly passive refugees, it is easy to say that the eastern mind accepts the conditions of his life without question. Why should we do anything to interfere? Imagine again, you have been bombed and strafed, your family completely lost, possibly forever, your lands destroyed, your home burned to the ground; you have walked several hundred miles to a refugee camp and are crowded in with 250,000 other refugees, and then try to assume an active role. Try to lift your spirits to do something. Several sections of the northern provinces of India now contain more refugees than local citizens and of course, the welcome is beginning to wear a bit thin. To date this refugee movement is the largest .in recorded history. Over half a million people have been killed.
Tactical. military force or minds gone mad? Some of the brutal actions of the West Pakistani troops have been?elated in the north american press. Reports from observers indicate there are no words, or even sufficient metaphors to accurately describe the carnage.
Why? The government of Pakistan insists that the east was about to split into an independent nation before the assembly and become another breakaway like Biafra. The Awami League ran on a platform of selfdetermination for East Pakistan but not independence. The election is a clear indication of the will of the people. The war is not.
Where.does Canada fit? Canada has sent 4.5 million dollars to India earmarked for the refugees through the United Nations. Approximately seven million dollars has been sent to assist displaced persons remaining in East Pakistan through Islamibad. How much of this is actually being used for this purpose is unknown. Five hundred thousand dollars has been given to the UN. to assist in the establishment of an investigating committee which may eventually lead to a peace-keeping force or similar military separation. The federal government has sent a total of 4,335,OOO dollars and the provinces have contributed about 370,000 dollars. Assorted relief agencies have so far collected and sent almost 1.700,OOO dollars ; bringing the total aid to refugees in I’ndia to about six million dollars. A&the current rate of consumption, this six million &ill last about three days.
Still aid to the west-... Canada has, in the past, entered into aid programs with the Pakistani government in the west and is continuing to give money to projects which were initiated before the war broke out. No new contracts are being considered by the Canadian government, but Canadian money still going to the west, although it is not to be used for the purchase of arms and ammunition, still releases other funds within the country to be used in the war. It is nonsense for Canadians to state that we have nothing to do with the genocide because our tax dollars are being given to the Pakistani government even if there were some guarantees they were not being used directly for the war, they are supporting the Pakistani governlment in their incredible plan to destroy the people of Bangla Desh.

It is the only Ijossible way of dealing with the present situation. llnless there is a political solution in Pakistan the refugees are going to remain in India and continue to be a thorn in the side of peace, if I may put it that way. Therefore, we are all *working with

From these sample question and answer sessions it seems that the Canadian government is not prepared to take any direct action which the situation is screaming for, but prefers to abdicate its unique world position and rely on the same United Nations .structures that allowed the slaughter of Biafrans to drag on for eternal hideous months. There is no summary to this article. There is only the hope that the reader will not opt for the same condemnable apathy which world powers seem to be showing. It is easy to react to the starving child and the lame old man, but what is needed in this situation is not benevolent brotherly love. What is required is simple. You must notify your government that you find their inaction intolerable.

The government is about to spend a billion dollars it doesn’t have, by increasing its expenditures and decreasing its income. While reiterating that the econ;omy is strong and growing, finance minister Edgar Benson lowered the boom on unemployment by tabling a 1,070 million dollar winter budget in an emergency parliamentary session thursday, October 14. There were two flaws in the show. First, governments don’t ever take emergency financial measures when the economy is healthy. And secondly, the ‘budget’ is strictly expenditure with no covering income. In other words, government employment policies and the american import surcharge have created an unemployment crisis, and the federal government is trying to bail out the economy with a huge winter works program and tax cuts to industry and individuals. Stressing the program
again and again that is labor-intensive (the government is very sensitive about its capital-intensive policies), Benson de1ivered a five-Point manifesto offering major inventives to big business and small concessions to tax payers. The first two points are aimed at short term corrections of the youth unemployment situation. A local initiative program will spend 50 million dollars on municipalities and give $50 million to community organizations. And 35 million 8lollars will be spent on improving Canada manpower center programs and on-the-job training programs.

CALGARY (CUP)-For the third time in three years the Mount Royal College student newspaper, The Reflector, has survived student council attempts to smash it. This year’s council, faced with a $23,000 deficit inherited from previous student administrations, decided to slash the Reflector’s budget to $5,000 (from $9,5000 in 1970-71). Then last Wednesday some councillors opposed granting the paper any money because of its editorial content. Council president Dennis Docherty, who feels that the press cannot be free if its content is “threatened by bureaucratic was forced into committees”, continuing financial support to the Reflector when Gus Henderson, a former editor, pointed out the unconstitutionality of the proposed move and hinted at possible repercussions .’ In the ensuing debate, the paper’s budget was again discussed and, with a further 600 dollar reduction, was passed overwhelmingly. The successful motion is only a temporary measure, however, until a council committee reviews Reflector budgets and policies. The committee is expected to complete its report within two weeks. Meanwhile the paper, which had its budget frozen temporarily last year and which survived a council promoted referendum the previous year, continues to publish.
The third point is designed to console the provinces: a 160 million dollar special loan program to finance construction. Points four and five deal with direct federal government expenditures: 90 million dollars on construction, maintenance and improvement of government buildings, transportation facilities, etc. ; and 113 million dollars to central mortgage and housing to fund more housing projects across the country. After announcing these short term expenditures to cover the roots of the economic problems for at least another winter. I Benson - -~~---played
his final
ace.
All Canadian corporations will have their taxes reduced by seven
per cent which means, with the elimination of the three per cent surtax, that business receives a ten per cent reduction effective last july 1. The corporations, of course, were not losing money in any area. When the economy is down, they maintain their high profit margin by laying off workers. This is what causes unemployment. “It is in the corporate sector of the economy that the adverse effects of the american import surtax is having its most serious Benson claimed. So, to impact,” avoid a “weak and uncertain” corporate sector, he laid the government riches at their feet.

in Montreal
M on t real (CUPI)-Management-labor disputes continue to plague universities in this city as both french-language institutions remain closed. A majority of faculty members at the university of Montral voted tuesday to continue their classroom boycott until a strike involving 1,000 non-academic employees is settled. The employees have so far rejected administration offers as “ridiculous” and “insulting”. At the Montreal campus of the university of Quebec, meanwhile, professors continued their week-old walkout as contract negotiations resumed under the supervision of a provincial mediator. All classes were ended at theuniversity of Montreal on October 4 when workers at the university left their jobs to protest the slowness of the administrations negotiations pertainingto wages, job securtiy and professional status. The teaching staff has supported the union (a local of the Canadian union of public employees) by refraining from teaching, although professors are allowed across the picket lines. Students at both universities are supporting the strikers and it is unlikely they will return to classes until the disputes are settled. While negotiations were started again at -the university of Quebec (Montreal) this monday, spokesmen have not indicated that these sessions represent a significant break in the deadlock. Points of issue in this dispute include wages, working conditions and job security. The Syndicat des professeurs de l’university du Quebec (SPUQ) also objects to the administration’s attempt to break union solidarity by classifying vice-deans and department hea,ds as administrators. One member predicted the strike might last as long as three more weeks . past’ two weeks sympathetic In the students and faculty from the university of Quebec at Montreal have joined the striking university of M on t real workers on the picket line.

Varied free time activities Lost your frisbee lately? Seems you are in luck then. The tote room attendents in the men’s locker r6om are just waiting to give out frisbees in exchange for an identification card. Good deal. Frisbee throwing, however, is only one of the many free time activities taking place in the jock palace. Activity areas such as the weight room, combatives, and upper gymnasium areas are free at almost any hour between 9:OO am and 10: 30 pm mondays through fridays. No need to book times, just come. The weight room has a fantastic called a new weight machine universal gladiator, and up to 13 different exercises can be performed on the two pieces of equipment. The ‘gymnasium area is located in the upper blue activity deck area, behind the second set of bleachers. The combatives room is open for exercising, wrestling etc., or just to release tensions and frustration against the padded walls. The dance studio is equipped with bars, full length mirrors and a piano for the more energetic, rythmic types. It is usually best to book times in this room. The squash courts are constantly in use, and as a result courts must be booked 24 hours in advance. Girls book the courts through the tote room: The question then arises as to where the girls book time for the sauna in the mens shower area. Any suggestions?

The warriors water polo team kept to their winning ways again Wednesday evening against Guelph. Playing before an enthusiastic crowd, the B squad kept the score respectable at 6-2 while the A squad ran the score to 11-l before slacking off. The final score was In the first game Mike McMillan lead the Warriors attack scoring three goals. Other sharp shooters for the home squad w&e Brian ‘Zack’ Bachert, Bruce Murray and Paul Sharpe. Guelph coach Bob Stallman, figuring enough was enough after two consecutive losses in two weeks loaded the pool with his best horses and was sure he could contain the fast breaking Warriors. The second game, however. turned out to be a one sided battle with the Guelph horses behind just 33 seconds after the game began. Jack Sterken, who scored three goals, opened the floodgate with a quick ,forehand hook shot which caught the Guelph goalie going the wrong way. Mike Quince and Steve McAllister were the only other scorers in the game, each collecting a total of four. Quince played another strong game even though he was being checked by Guelph’s best player former Czech. national, Tony Kotstyzo, and broke loose in the second five minute quarter giving the uniwat squad a commanding 61 lead at the half. Steve McAllister seemed to be always in the right place at the right time during the second half and plotted three of his four goals in quick succession as the Guelph defense fell apart. Doug Lorriman was the strong man on the defense allowing only Kotstyzo to break through and

As the soccer season approaches it’s termination, the warriors have yet to enter the win column. Having played six games so far this year, their record sees four losses and two ties. During the first half of the schedule, the warriors ran into difficulty getting into the team role and did not effectively function as a cohesive unit. Conflicts of class hours with, practice is the major cause of this problem. Former football association coach Brian Anabal cropped his early season hopefuls from forty to the present eighteen participants. Rob Gillespie has been doing an outstanding job for the warriors in goal. and is well supported on defense by a solid line. In their last game against Guelph, this defense allowed only two shots on goal. The forward line, however, has not capitalized on the protective strength offered by the defense and has produced many of their scores on penalty kicks. Although the weather this fall has been much superior to previous years, the spectator turnout has average thirty diehards on a good evening.

The need for a student watchdog over the present athletic budget is relevent today because we are paying the same amount for physed facilities as we are for our federation services. Also, there has been a suggestion that the “administration has its heart set on another anniversary fund” (Sulliman-chevron) for athletes and this, if implemented, would-disregarding those wise enough to get a refund-mean we are paying the grand total of 32 dollars (based on be tenth anniversary fund) to athletics. Over the years I have been involved in athletics and their administration, I have found that women’s sports are generally the first losers when monetary cuts are made. Therefore, both male and female reps are necessary to maintain a balance within the present administration structure. I believe. that the athletic fee should remain compulsory and not as the federation be raised. provides services for 12,OOO-plus students, too, and it doesn’t need more money. Asking for student watchdogs over athletic spending is a fair and rational demand to make in the present power structure.

A deluge of angry mail and people greeted student president Michael Fletcher and excalibur editor Andy Michalski when the article first appeared in the paper. Fletcher subsequently dropped his demand for an investigation of the charges of unfair hiring practices. In an editorial of the next issue of the student paper,

Montreal (CUP&The students of Sir George Williams University no longer have a council - or a constitution. At an emergency meeting of the board of governors October 1, the constitutionwas suspended and the council placed under trusteeship. According to a communique from the board, this action was taken due to the “inability of the governing body of the students’ assoeiation to function2.within the ’ ‘+ ” lpres&t. .constitution.‘I In its place, a board of trustees, -consisting of three students, a ‘chartered accountant, and a lawyer has been appointed by . principal John O’Brien. The trustees have responsibility :for all fiscal and non-fiscal matters which normally fall within the jurisdiction of the students council ‘ or the executive of the student* association.

operation.
As soon as possible, the trustees will hold a referendum to determine whether students desire the maintenance of a students’ association within an appropriate constitution. The students will .,
decide the terms of and the procedures for conducting such a referendum . If a majority favors the maintenance of an association, the trustees will receive submissions and make recommendations by february 1, when a referendum will be held on the proposed constitution. ’ If a majority vote does not favor the, maintenance of a students’ association, the trustees. will wind up the affairs of the suspended coundil and make arrangements for continuation of projects formerly under council jurisdiction. to Suspension followed letters the principal from both student and faculty representatives, protesting mismanagement of funds and general incompetence on the part of the former executive.

/es, when big events happen on campus, chevron news-hounds are right on the spot: snapping lictures, asking questions, taking notes, tripping over curbs, ‘picking their noses. Like a few week! Igo, when the campus bus collided with an automobile, causing a slight dent...three chevror jhotographers were on the scene within scant seconds, snapping away and capturing for OUI ;lavering readers all-the gore and drama of the tragedy. Or, on a less compellingly important scale ake the recent drama of the federation political upheavals: again the chevron was at tht orefront, reporting to our readers such unforgettable quotes as “I will resign” and “Well, maybt The chevron 3hotographers zount on the

Diseased Desiderata GO recklessly amid the indifference and apathy and remember what fulfillment there may be in conflict. As far as possible without any inconvenience dominate all persons. Speak your truth . loudly and bluntly; and listen to no-one but the clever, they too have their uses. Avoid quiet and meek persons, for they are not important connections. If you do not compare yourself to others you will become placid and pacific; do not-forget the lesser who suck you dry and the greater who quash you. Enjoy the achievements that .have justified your means of obtainment. Keep interested in your career; however humble, it is your only buttress against nonentity and starvation. Exercise trickery in your business affairs ior the world is full of the unwary. But . let this not blind you to what vice there is, many persons strive’ for greater gain and everywhere life is full of treachery. Be what others expect you to be. Especially Be cynical about love, ieign affection. for in the face of greed and conflict it chxpires. Take with trepidation the council of the years, grasping vainly the things ,of youth. Nurture indifference and contempt to protect yobr feelings from the misfortunes of others. Armour yourself with foresight. Much gain is lost of oversight. Beyond the bare requirements of existance drive yourself. You are the center of the universe, greater than the trees and the stars, only you have the right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt’the universe is falling to communists and radicals. Therefore be at peace with the system, whatever you conceive it to be, and whatever your labours in the humdrum drone . and aspirations, of life, keep turmoil in your soul. With all its reality, commerce and pollution, it is still a malleable world. Live dangerously, strive to be a success. ’ Found

member: Canadian university press (CUP) and underground press syndicate (UPS), subscriber: liberation news service (LNS), and chevron international news service (CINS), the chevron is a newsfeature tabloid published offset fifty-two times a year ( 1971-72) by the federation of students, incorporated, university of Waterloo. Content is the responsibility of the chevron staff, independent of the federation and the university administration. Offices in the campus center; phone (519) 578-7070 or university local 3443; telex 0295-748. it is time to look beyond, far beyond hopefully, the infantile rumblings and miscellaneous deaths of the federation and take a look at some basics.while slugging away at the story on the federation problems for this week’s edition it became apparant that there is an endless aniount of bullshit oozing around the campus centre federation offices.people seem to be paying loyal lip service to ttie proper words and doing very little explaining.if this fog ever lifts there seems to be some things that need looking at and acting on.this university is supposedly here for the students.we all have our varying beliefs and disbeliefs of this idea.the students relate to the institution in two basic ways: internally amongst themselves and externally with the university, professors, classes and the bureaucracy.internaI problems run along the line of whether the federation should decentralize or. even exist at all.as there is a referendum in february as to the answer of the existance question we had better decide soon as to whether we should keep going and in what form.it should be noted at this point the amount of support that was thrown to rick page to get him to keep him from resigning especially from such arch enemies as the engineers.this in no way means that the plumbers are suddenly for the student union but there does seem to be enough rapport between page and the more powerful student unions to start seriously working on the structural problems.institutionally speaking the university is made up of three bodies, the administration, the faculty and the students:at times in that order of importance.this triumvaate, while not constantly bickering does not seem to be wine and roses.if the students could form a coalitions or at leas1 better relations with the faculty then the combination could conceiveably work to influence the decision-making process at this university to be more considerate of academics and the attaining of certain levels,of awareness than of the constant ogre of administrative and bureaucratic efficiency.an example is the grading systems and schedules which are changed almost every year to make the job easier for the registrar.it causes, however, endless hassles for professors and students.the administration is here to provide a service-a co-ordinating service for the faculty and students and it is presently working’ the other way in many instances.this should also be one of the appointed tasks for the federation council.liasons to the faculty should be made sincerely soon.if forging compacts to combat administration running rampant and general house cleaning and restructuring doesn’t keep little rickky page busy then the burial services for dead vps ought to.this thing is passing.wondrously labouring within the eversexciting world of the chevron’s sports department were lengreener, randy hannigan, bryan blair, terry morin, dave rees-thomas dennis mcgann, ron smith, george neeland, nigel strothard, irene van eyck, don mccutcheon, sally kemp.the jock thought of the week (of all things)...“what size happiness do you wear?“.at entertainment were janet stoody, david cubberley, joe handler, jan narveson, paul stuewe, rona achilles (who we forgot on tuesday) and special in the spotlight this week was otto von giorgiof kaufman.raving in news this week were kenn hyslop, joan Walters, alan lukachko and his side kick krista, una o’callaghan, alan gough, barry brown, nigel burnett, deanna kaufman, and her sidekick co-ordinator george, bureaucrat alex smythe who managed to get in occasionally, even larry burko made an appearance, mark roberts, fender bender, and hopefully we haven’t forgotten angone.in photo this week were gord moore, robert burcher, sergio and chahee zavarella, dudley Paul, carl drasnor, and dougbaird.it should be not&d that there is a staff meeting on the horizon which is going to consider advertising guidelines and everyone is urged to attend especially consideringg the pathetic attendance last week.a parting goodbye the gary robins who passed through this week. thought for this week come from lee sha‘ffer, miss america T971...when asked about women’s lib people she said...‘th&‘re fine as long as they do their thing and they let me do mine.‘tieace ws.
