U of T stucients victory TORONTO (CUP&University of toronto students, struggling for parity representation on governing bodies, made their first step forward since last fall at a special meeting november 19 of the general committee of arts and science. A committee of five students and five teaching staff was struck to study the faculty’s government. The student-sponsored motion to re-study the parity issue was approved 59-58, after a two-hour debate. Last year the general committee tapproved a si’milar motion, but its decision was overturned by a specially convened meeting of the 1300-member faculty council before the study group could begin work. This time the restructuring committee will likely accomplish its study, as it will be reporting back to a meeting of the entire faculty council to be held december 15 which will accept or reject its recommendations. The committee’s members will be chosen by student and staff representatives on the general committee.
Student representatives met immediately after the meeting to select their five committee members. All but one has been affiliated with the yippie-like new left group, the Old Mole, although two have now split from it. Faculty have not met to select their representatives. The committee now faces the difficult task of trying to find a solution which will be acceptable to the students as well as the faculty majority. A parity proposal might be thrown out by the entire faculty council even if the committee comes to a consensus. The future of the reform movement is also threatened on the evidence of friday’s meeting. A large number of the most effective and articulate proponents of parity-both student and facultyare no longer on, the general committee or were absent from the meeting. Also, it took fewer faculty supporters to pass the motion for this year’s committee than it did to pass last year’s restructuring committee *proposal, since there are now more students on the general committee.

university government. As we are co-opted more and more we show little of the zeal reminiscent of joe hi//, the famous wobbly martyr. The movie depicting hill’s life is reviewed on page nine.
“With this act, we are finally catching up with the rest of the universities in the country.” With this proclamation, uniwat president burt matthews lent his whole-hearted support to the proposed university of Waterloo act at his last friday’s press conference . The act still has the considerable hurdle of queen’s park approval, but has received the blessing of both the senate and the board of governors on this campus. - Ed good, liberal for water1oo north, will sponsor the private bill at toronto when the next legislative se~~t~h~)e~s insj!yarThe ad ministration is hoping for a may 1 date for imp1ementing the act. The original concept of a unicameral setup was finally abandoned and a revamped version of the present bi-camera1 government will be submitted. The new act provides for a 67member senate and a 36-member board of governors. The big difference between the present situation and the proposed act, ‘is that students and faculty will be represented for the first time on both bodies. The actual implications of student participation, however, are open to interpretation (as you will witness by the bullseye on this page): Six of the 67 senate seats will go
to undergrads, (three more to grads) and three of the 36 board seats will be filled by students. Significantly, the act by-passes the federation of students as the representative of the students at Waterloo-the election of the student members to the two groups will be under the auspices of the, current governing bodies. The federation,% fact, is never mentioned in the act. But, either ignorance of the provisions of the act or indifference allowed matthews to tell the reporters at the press conference : “As far as I am aware, this arrangment is satisfactory to everyone on campus.” Naturally, student parity is also never mentioned in the act. A tough struggle for student parity under the proposed new university of toronto act is still continuing on that campus (see article, this page). Matthews said the decision to write a new university act was based on two main goals-to increase the participation of the people inside the university in the governing of it, and to increase the coordination of the board and the’ senate. Under the proposed board of governors make-up, one-third of the members will come from the university. He said that a complete unicameral was rejected because educational decisions would have to be made in a body on which a majority would be from outside the university.
He dodged several questions fro@ reporters about the division of the decision-making powers under the proposed act. “I’d like to see the act silent on powers as much as possible,” he explained. When asked if he anticipated any parity demands here paralleling the U of T fight, Matthews replied that he did not. Continued

resent&ion is just tokhisrr control over property and money, students will have three seats out of 36. Six faculty members will be represented on the board. No one should be surprised that administrators aren’t interested in student parity or even real involvement of students in university government. But the university of Waterloo act has so pleased or bored students on this campus that president burt matthews was able to say last week without fear of contradiction, “As far as I am aware, this
arrangement is satisfactory to everyone on campus.” , At the university of toronto an even less blatent attempt to kill student political power on campus was met with fierce
student opposition. Students pressed the issue of parity all the way to queen’s park and are still fighting. (See CUP story on this page.] When asked about student representation at his press conference last week, matthews said of the two alternatives, the present set-up without student representation and the proposed act, he would support the university of Waterloo ,,4
dC.L.
But matthews conveniently forgot there are third, fourth and even fifth alternatives which might include student parity. So far studentsincluding federation reps - have ignored the act and played
into matthews hands. The act by-passes the federation even in election of those few students to senate since it empowers the present governing bodies to establish election procedures, arrange for elections and carry-out elections for the formation of the first nevc board of governors and senate. The federation need not-and probably does not-exist in terms of the university
of Waterloo act. But to quote matthews again, “the act i! not etched in stone” and can be if anyone is interested ir changedchanging it. -deanna

A campus center ice-cream dispensary has become a core of controversy between the federation of students and the university administration. The machine-installed after complaints by students over the use of roll rather than bulk icecream in the campus center coffee shop-was challenged by the university’s food services departmeat despite a 2000-signature petition favoring the bulk icecream. Administration president burt matthews told federati”on executives he considered this kind of operation “illeg$” and that personally, he would object to any negotiations while the ice-cream cooler remained in the campus center. He intimated that federation opponents within the administration might use the issue to attack the compulsory activity fee presently collected for the

federation by the administration.He held to this opinion even when informed the federation had planned to provide the board of governors with any information about the operation necessary under agreements between the two bodies. Interim federation vice-president david blaney told the chevron the issue is over more than just an ice-cream machine. “The university objects to the federation providing services such as this because the administration sees them as sources of profit for itself,” he said. Blaney said federation services of this nature offer students lower prices because food service profit and costs for high overhead is not a factor. “If students want these things they will have to stand with the federation executive and council to fight for their rights; ” said blaney, “the services are being provided

A recommeidation that george haggar be fired from integrated studies because he is not compatible tiith prevalent fads. at ISAFARM was passed at the IS senate meeting Wednesday afternoon. The recommendation was made on the basis of information contained in an unsigned brief which stated that IS students this year are mainly interested in religion and philosbphy, hence haggar as a political scientist is not in great ’ demand as a resource person. Council also voted a recommendation (based on the same brief) that larry kendal, Claudia morrison and Walter obe be hired as full time resource persons at IS for the coming year. IS had two full time resourcepersons at the time, larry kendal and george haggar. Kendal, (who was at the U of W philosophy department for a time before he changed into english) has a BA from slippery rock university in Pennsylvania, obe has a diploma from ryerson institute toronto, in radio and television arts, and morrison (whose contract was not renewed last june by the english departmen0 has a PhD in english from a US university .
Haggar, who has published extensively and is highly regarded as a political -scientist in canada, obtained his PhD from Columbia university . This same council which voted Wednesday that he be fired, unanimously recommended last june that he be hired as a resource person for the 71-72 academic year. According to mdureen obe the unsigned brief was prepared last weekend by IS students and resource persons, including larry kendal and Claudia morrison. Obe also stated “to the best of my knowledge haggar was invited to get together with us to put out the brief .” When contacted for comment haggar stated “I was not aware of the brief until 2 pm today. Doug marshal1 called me sunday and wanted to hold a private inquisition on my case. I told him this was unethical, and that his approach was unscientific. I asked if he had read the brief I submitted last june and he said no.” “I was not aware of the brief until today when larry kendal told me that he, jennifer blake and Claudia morrison wrote it together.” Members of IS senate council ivho worked .on the brief together
on a non-profit basis and the administration doesn’t want to have it prove’d that they can be successfully o&ated this way.” Blaney sees the issue as one of a number of moves taken lately by the administration and faculty to curb students’ growing awareness of their power to effect changes which are to their benefit. The federation and most society presidents have jointly called a general meeting next Wednesday (december 1) to air student opinions. The meeting will be held at 4 pm in the campus center great hall. At the same meeting, attempts by the arts faculty to change library loan regulations in their favor will also be discussed. The arts faculty is taking this action even though they had an opportunity to comment on the regulations now in force before they were instituted by the arts */ library committee.

on
the suitability of the (chevron) reporter’s presence. The council. went on to consider one such person, george haggar, and to deny his reappointment. , They based their decision o’n an unsigned brief presented to the council bv unnamed people. The brief is an interesting study in illogic. The first part contains a description of the principles that should not be used for evaluating a resource person. It then goes on, at great length, to consider the possibility of examining the “needs and resources” hiring principle, only to reject it later as being “completely backwards”. No conclusions having been reached, the reader is then referred to the appendix entitled “Musings on the Desirab/e C‘haractehics of an IS Resow& Person”. l-he mysterious writers of this brief have grappled with a difficult problem, and’ failing even a minor attempt at the solution have resorted to their supposed, Ijreanointed mysticism.
IS project
One month ago, the street kids of downtown kitchener were disturbed and angry over the death of their friend ray cebula in the kitchener police station. One night after visiting the funeral home, a group of these kids were ifivited to isafarm by big sisters to talk about what happened and other problems they had. By now,-- the death has been largely forgotten but the kids are still meeting at the farm house one night every week under the auspices of project mulch. This project was initiated by some of the big sisters who are .also in integrated studies such as maureen obe, liz brown and jennjfer blake. A total of about 16 ppople are involved, including ’ IS &source persdns and former students who are concerned about’ the dilemna of the street kids. :The aim of the project is to provide an environment for growth ’ ahd development and a productive alternative to the street for. 50 to 100 kids. It is hoped that sense of achievment and social conscience can be developed through a program of educational sessions, art instruction and field trips which will actively involve the young people in its initiation and organization. In an effort to finance and ex-
pand the project, an application for a grant has been made to the local initiative program of the provincial winter works project. If they are successful, the $24,000 dollars being asked for will be used to employ twelve people and pay for rentals and supplies. These people will fill positions such as program director, public relations officer and maintenance man. The young people involved range in age from twelve to seventeen. Most of them attend schools throughout the K-W area, some of them are wards of children’s aid and some belong to big sisters. Usually they spend their evenings in downtown kitchener at the pool hall or a drop-in center. Tuesday nights, though,. they take o@t the farm house: They are pickec&up in jini davison’s moving expEt&e’&e bus and taken there. A Supp&‘$ made with the food they bring ggd after eating they talk or engaggYn activities. At the last meeting, the talking was mostly about what they could do to raise money. Ambng the ideas thrown around were a car wash, a dinner and entertainment night, a bazaar to sell their crafts, and a band composed of the musicialis among them. The money may be used to purchase equipment which would not be possible with a winter works grant. Other possibilities for the future are more educational sessions (morley rosenberg has already Two of the Under Attack tapings talked with them), field trips and which were shot on this campus parties. last month will be aired early in Cebula itQuest december .

other IS students ,“‘& f’ Jennifer blake, maureen obe, peter padbury, liz brown, doug marshall, larry kendal, Claudia morrison. It is interesting to note that maureen obe is the wife of Walter obe, a candidate for one of the full time positions, and that jennifer blake is living with larry kendal, another candidate for a full time position. Jennifer blake is also a sister-inlaw of andy tamas whose mother angela szepi is being considered as a part-time resource person. Her case was not discussed Wednesday as council ran out of time. A brief submitted by haggar -which, among otherthings, deplored the ad-hoc methods used by IS in the hiring of resource persons was largely ignored by council during the meeting. Indeed, the ad-hoc methods used to evict the chevron reporter was somewhat questionable also. The vote on the chevron eviction entitled the reporter to be present during the discussion on kendal and morrison who consented to the chevron presence. Without bothering tq take another vote on the issue, however, the reporter was excluded from all the hiring discussions c l
Appropriately, the second part of the brief commences with a request for the readers to “realize the difficulties involved This with writing a brief of this kind”. section of the brief asks for the readers’ capitulation to irrationality to an even greater degree than before. It describes the decision, presumably made because no effective hiring principles could be formulated, that two IS students should canvass the others for their opinions on the resource persons. Concerning the percentage of the students polled, the brief states only that the canvassers “phoned as many IS students as possible”. Rather than asking uniform, objective questions, the pollsters engaged the other students in “lengthy and detailed discussions”, a procedure which lends itself to the questioners’ bias, to say the least. Moreover, the brief states that the more vehement the responder, the higher the relative weight of his vote, as if the person who yells the loudest should be considered to have the most important opinion. the Nevertheless, with great Aplomb, writers of this incredible brief then inform us that they know how a “straight vote”

ST. LOUIS (CUP-CPS)--“It is immoral for the american people to be concerned solely with the US environment when we are paying for the deliberate destruction of indochina,” stated dr,. ew pfeiffer,, associate professor of zoology at the university of montana, in a recent speech in st. louis. Pfeiffer, who has made four trips to south-east asia to investigate the ecological effects of the war in indochina, discussed the three major weapons of ecological destruction : herbicidal chemicals, land clear$mce, and bombing. The crop destruction program has destroyed enough rice to feed 600,000 people for a year and defoliation has wiped out about 30 to 40 percent of the total forest of indochina, he said. Although the use of herbicidal chemicals has now been stopped, pfeiffer noted that nobody is really sure what the end effects of such massive defoliation will be. In a report on his first trip, published in science magazine, may 1, 1970, he concluded that “the ecological consequences of defoliation are severe.” Pfeiffer, who was last in Vietnam in august when he and dr arthur westing of windham college were combat reporters for environemt magazine, explained that the air force preferred to wait, in its crop destruction program, until the crops were almost ready for harvest-after the farmers had put much time into them. This was most frustrating to the farmers and also it was usually the case that the NLF was not hurt. Forests that have been defoliated are taken over by bamboo and other weeds. Shrapnel and bullets add to this destruction by causing a fungal infection in the trees-a phenonmenon peculiar to tropical trees. This causes the death of the tree in about a year or so. Pfeiffer also noted that mangrove trees were at one time used for charcoal fuel in indochina. There were a renewable resource through the planting of saplings. However, most of these trees have been destroyed by defoliation and “now the US has them hooked on kerosene fuel, a non-renewable resource. ” The many acres of hardwood timber in indochina have been virtually destroyed and the lumber industry has just about been knocked out, said pfeiffer. The increase in malformed children has also been attributed to the use of herbicidal chemicals. Most commonly sprayed are 2, 4-D and 2,4,5-T. When samples of these chemicals were injected into chickens, deformation of the embryo resulted. Pfeiffer noted that the chemicals would easily work their way into the drinking water and that the main staple foods, rice, fruit, and fish, are very susceptible to herbicides. As a result of the recent invasion of Cambodia, 30 percent of that country’s rubber trees were destroyed by defoliation. This was their main source of international exchange, pfeiffer said that he had been informed by reliable sources through senator
church CD-idaho), that air america, of the CIA, was responsible for the defoliation in cam bodia . The use of herbididal chemicals has, however, been largely abandoned in 1favor of land clearance with 25ton caterpillar tractors. There are presently five companies of land clearing troops with about 30 plows each, pfeiffer said. The department of defence estimates. that, so far, 750,000 acres of land, mostly forest, have been cleared this way. Pfeiffer said that one company spent 26 days clearing 6,000 acres ‘of forest. “The vehicles seem to chew the vegetation into dirt,” he explained. All plowed areas grow into elephant grass-“the most. ubiquitous weed in Vietnam.” He concluded that, though land clearance has not destroyed nearly as much forest as defoliation, its ecological impact may be even greater. To date, there have been 20 tons of bombs dropped per acre in indochina, creating a minimum of 10 million craters which are permanent pock marks on the landscape. These craters won’t recover or fill-in naturally and are also a breeding place for mosquitos. This last fact, pfeiffer suggested, may be connected with the recent rise’ of malaria in indochina. Pfeiffer also explained that people won’t go back to these “crater regions” because of the large number of “duds”, or undetonated bombs. The department of defense estimates that there are 200,000 “duds” lying in the fields. There have been incidents of such bombs being touched off by plows. Farmers are therefore understandably reluctant to go back to farm fields that have been hit. The newly developed “daisy cutter” bomb is a 7.5 ton weapog whose purpose is to “make instant helicopter landing sites in the jungle,” pfeiffer stated. These bombs, which are used at a rate of about two or three a week, create an area about the size of a football field and kill everything within a three-quarters mile radius. These bombs are sometimes used against enemy raids, by causing landslides. The “daisy cutter” has such adverse effects, according to pfeiffer, that the air force refused to release information concerning its physical characteristics. The main reason that people move to refugee camps of cities is that they cannot stand the bombings. Pfeiffer said he heard this time and time again. He suggested that this ,may not be accidental that is, the US is deliberately trying to drive people into cities, through bombing, where they can be more easily controlled. The population of Saigon has risen from 500,000 to 3 million in ten years. “With the people out of the countryside, the guerillas no longer have their basis of support and action-that is, the US may have stumbled onto the solution to guerilla warfare.” Pfeiffer concluded that “the people of indochina are subsistence farmers, or were-we are urbanizing them at a fantastic rate.”
Home made poftery NEW YORK (LNSGThese days you can find potters in free schools and public schools, clubs and on farms and communes all across the country. Potting, and ceramics in general is one of the fastest growing handicrafts in north america. And growing along with it is a rising incidence of illness and death related to the use of homemade pottery as containers for food and drink. In the past three years there have been at least a half dozen deaths in the US and canada from pottery poisoning-which in most cases is lead poisoning caused by lead-based glazes used in ceramics. It is difficult to trace the incidence of - lead-poison illness since it is a cumulative disease, often without clear symptoms, but sometimes resulting in brain damage, among children especially. Lead poisoning has made headlines recently as more. and more cases of it are discovered among children in the nation’s ghettos. These children get their lead from eating paint chips. by don nicholls,‘the
Most glazes used to color and seal the surface of ceramic pieces contain lead. Lead glazes are preferred since they give the best color and are easiest to use. The problem comes when. the glazes are not properly processed. Commercial manufacturers of pottery can afford to use hightemperature kilns which assure a good fusion of glaze to the surface of the piece. They can also keep testing their pieces to be sure that the lead-release rate is at a safe level. However, amateur and independent potJers, usually find it necessary to use the cheaper lowtemperature kilns which don’t usually provide a good fusion so when the pieces are used for food or drink, lead from the glaze is released into it. (Acid based foods or liquids, like lorage juice, react most quickly and thoroughly with the lead and therefore are most dangerous.) They also can’t afford to test their pieces (testing a piece at a private lab will cost about
$20).

Of 147 glazes “in use by schools, clubs, studios and potters,” the doctors fdund 111 unsafe.

While many commercial pottery manufacturers are willing to have officials check their FDA products, glaze producers have been generally unwilling to cooperate, even to merely label their glazes as to the lead or other poisonous metal content. Those potters who are aware of the potentially lethal quality of some of their pieces have been faced with still another problem.

Chile a year later-facing new problems Chile, that far-off snake-like strip of latin america, is celebrating the first anniversary of the historic election of a socialist platform for the first time in history of a marxist president, Salvador allende. While undoubtedly continuing to gain support among the masses of the people, the government is having to face some problems of a new type, as for example the present shortage of certain foodstuffs, although it is not yet very widespread. Production of some basic foods, such as beef and chicken, which are the two main shortages, has never been enough to feed the entire population of Chile to a satisfactory level. During previous governments, if any food product became scarce, the simple. device used was to raise the prices of those foodstuffs, with the obvious result that the lower-paid sections of the people could not afford to buy them. So previous governments did not have a serious problem of food scarcity, for thousands of families never ate meat, but lived on watery soups made by boilipg bones they got at the butchers. The popular government, as the minister of the economy Pedro vuskovic, explains cannot and will not use thi? means to “solve” the problem, as it would be going against one of the fundamental pledges of the government not to raise prices. The fact is that the buying power of the people has increased considerably (by almost 30 percent) since wages have been raised and brices stabilized, so the popular demands for meat, eggs, and other foods has leapt by over 20 * percent. Another factor in the problem is that most of the sources of porduction are not controlled by the state, and thus, in the case of these industries, it is difficult for the government to urge increases in production. In some cases, the owners of’ factories are actually holding back production deliberately, letting their plant work at only partial capacity, so aggravating the government’s problems in this respect. The only way out of this difficulty is for production to be substantially raised, and to this end, the government has launched a propaganda campaign throughout the country. The foremost advocates of the earnpaign of the “battle for production” as it is called, are the workers at the several big industrial enterprises which have been taken over by the state, and who are now themselves running the fac-
tories by means of elected management committees. The new managers of these nationalized industries, such as the coal and steel industries, textile, and fishing industries, are workers, men who, when the industries were in private hands, proved themselves to be staunch > defenders of the workers’ rights, and who now, therefore, have been entrusted by the workers themselves with the responsibility of management. Ever since the beginning of the popular unity government, the Christian democrat party (which is the biggest single party in Chile) has declared its fundamental opposition, but its willingness to support the government on certain issues, such as the nationalization of Chile’s main natural resource, copper. Thus the Christian democrats voted together with the parties of the popular unity movement to Iegalize the constitutional reform which was necessary to pass before the copper industry could be taken over by the state which was previously owned by two giant american companies anaconda and kennecott copper mining co. In this way Chilean copper was finally nationalized on july 11, 1971, a day which was named “the day of national dignity.” The attitude of blind hostility toward the popular unity government which the more rightwing section of the Christian democrat party adopted led to a certain polarization of positions within the party itself. On the one hand ex-president eduardo frei is leading the rightwing sector and differing little, if at all, from the policies and attitudes of the avowedly reactionary so-called national aarty. On the other, the more progressive sector is willing to seek a dialogue with the popular unity government, and is headed by the Christian democrat youth leader luis badilla. In july there was a by-election in Chile’s second biggest city; the port of valparaiso. It was a significant election, one which meant the defeat of the popular unity candidate and victory for the democrat candiate, at the cost of that party’s prestige amo.ng the people. The only way for the right to avoid the popular unity candidate winning the election was for the opposition forces to unite. And so, the Christian democrats made a devil’s pact with the national party whereby a Christian democrat candiate would be supported by the national party, with the obvious result that the platform on which he stood would be to the liking of the natiorials. The Christian democrat candidate was
duly elected, as was to be expected, but the Christian democrats had gone too far. The wooing of the reactionary nationa! party disgusted many of the more genuine Christian democrats and led, soon after the election, to a split in the party, with many well-known figures resigning to form a movement called the “Christian left”. This new movement immediately declared its support for the popular unity government, its policies and its aim of a socialist society. The government now has a clear .lead over the forces of the opposition. The Chilean right, although considerably weakened by its repeated failures and by the increase in popularity and strength of the. popular unity government, has not yet entirely given up. Its spirit rose at the news of the reactionary coup in neighboring bolivia, so much so that a declaration of support for the new bolivian dictator, banzer, iwas immediately published in the rightwing press by the ultra right wing movement known as “‘fatherland and Ii berty.” On the khole, the right is contmuing its activity in a more ir!conspicuous way than previously, but is undoubtedly at work in sabotaging production, in creating problems of all sorts in the countryside, in spreading rumours to inspire fear into the people. In the countryside the reactionaries are spreading the rumour that the governmetit is intending to convert all thei expropriated farms into huge state farms, tnstead of fulfilling the promise of handing over the expropriated land to the peasants who work it. They have incited the peasants to strikes and sieges using the advantage the age-old peasants dream of owning their own piece of land. The fact is, however, that the government has no intention whatsoever of setting up state farms-apart from any other considerations, economically it would present more of a headache tha’n a blessing at the particular stage of development. Chile differs greatly from the majority of her neighboring states in that she has a long history of democratic rights won by the people which have made the successions of coups so common in other latin American countries. SO this election the Chileans are celebrating is no mere fluke, but the outcome of a long history of people’s struggle for a more just society. Here are some of the results of that struggle: l The minimum wdge In Chde has lttcreased 66 percent; price controls have

been instituted and the rise in living costs has been sharply decelerated. Purchasing power is up 30 percent and consumption up 20 percent. l Accomodation is up 18 percent in primary schools, 3.4 percent in elementary and 26.8 perceht in secondary schools with 1,800 more classrooms to be made available by the end of 1971. l Scholarships will be increased by 50 percent to 60,000. More money has been allocated for universities now open to workers and their children. University enrolement is up 62.8 percent. The government has taken control of zig-zag publishing company which will mean cheaper text books. l 50,000 pairs of shoes and large quantities of school supplies distributed free to school children, 1,800,OOO lunches and 60,000 dinners provided free daily plus a half-litre of milk for every child. l Infant mortality from disentry is ’ down 28 percent. Workers and unemployed now receive free -medical care and medicine under the national health service. Dental treatment and first aid are likewise free. 6 Copper and coal mining have been nationalized and, having acquired the stock of acero %del pacific0 and bethlehem steel corporation, Chile ha’s: started a large-scale metallurgical industry. Former monopoly-owned textile mills and a number of food industries are now under government control as is cement production. The government is taking over trade in manufactured goods, liquid gas and oil products. Foreign trade is listed for nationalization-the state will supervise imports of industrial equipment and other goods formerly monopolized by north american and british concerns. l More than half the banks have been nationalized through the purchase of their stock. The. state now controls 70 percent ot banking assets. The government is now in a position to restructure the entire credit system and provide more money for agriculture cooperatives, state en?erprises, small and medium businesses. All credits are being granted at lower interest rates to promote national production. l More than 1,000 estates totalling 2 million hectares have been expropriated. A- national peasant council on which peasant trade- unions are represented has been set up. One has simply to compare these figures with other latin american countries to see the great strides the Chilean people have taken under president Salvador allende.

In case you have forgotten, cyclamates are cancer-causing artificial sweeteners which the government allowed industry to put into our food until 1970, even though the sweeteners’ safety had been questioned by the national academy of sciences as early as 1955.
The government has apparently decided that allowing industry to poison americans for 15 years is not enough---congress is presently considering a bill which would pay any claims filed by cyclamate manufacturers, fruit growers and canners, food processors, soft drink companies and anyone else, for any money lost as a result of the ban. Industry has estimated claims would exceed 100 million dollars and the bill puts no ceiling on money to be paid out. The measure was introduced, sponsored, and is being pushed, by the nixon administration.

LONDON (CUP&-A stormy controversy involving charges of racism against a right-wing history professor has erupted at the usually placid university of western Ontario. Things came to a head last Wednesday night when professor kenneth hilborn invaded a student meeting discussing demands for his dismissal and was involved in a scuffle with one of his denouncers. The demands for the firing of the tenured professor arose from an article he had written, which appeared in the London Free Press. In this article hillborn attacked those who support what he termed “terrorists” in south africa. He said that the best way to end the aparthid system in that of country was by a process “erosion”. This could be best accomplished, the article went on, by increasing the prosperity of the white ruling class in south africa. This would create a demand for more skilled labor which would in turn lower
unemployment among blacks while increasing their standard of living and ultimately their political powers. The article concludes that the white ruling class would be forced to liberate the blacks just to keep the economy running smoothly. A group of students, including in its membership representatives from the Canadian party of labour, formed the committee to fight racism and demanded the dismissal of hilborn from his teaching post because of his, allegedly racist views. The professor, in defending his position, said that he opposed apartheid-the south african government policy of complete racial separation-but that the overthrow of the government would result in millions of deaths, mainly black. The final word likely will belong to hilborn, who said: “Trying to fire a professor is a laugh if he has tenure. A professor cannot be fired for expressing his opinions. ”
Professor blows whistle; causes theater absurdity TORONTO KUP)--Summoned by english professor peter seary, university of toronto police zeroed in on a university college class last friday to break up an alleged disruption. The incident occurred about 3 :4O pm as students in a third year theater course were performing\ next door to a room housing a graduate seminar led by seary on 18th century romanticism. The students were members of english 381f, a special english course dealing with experiments in 20th century thea ter . _ Friday’s class featured a discussion of antbnin artaud who laid the groundwork for the theatre of the absurd. “At the outset students moved all tables normally in the middle of the seminr room up against the walls, ” university college registrar 1.~. ferguson explained, creating unusual background sounds for the classes occurring in nearby rooms. The performance, prepared by students, called for a discussion of theatre of cruelty with active participation from all class members. Student mark manson led the seminar and arranged for other students to approach the room from the corridor during the performance, creating a conflict to be resolved theatrically. During the action, there was hand to hand combat and several obscenities were hurled. At this point students from seary’s graduate english seminar
next door objected to what they claimed was excessive noise. Seary joined the fracas and demanded that the “noise and disruption” cease or he would take the necessary steps to end it. “We just carried on as if it was part of the prepared class,” manson said. “It was theater of the absurd supreme.” Seary, a young assistant professor, cancelled his class then left and called U of T police. Within minutes a station wagon with eight policemen sped to the scene. When the police reached the classroom, students were ‘continuing their performance. A robust officer appeared ,at the door. “Get out ,” a student said, and the officer left, after seeing a switchblade drawn among the actors. In the corridor the melee continued and according to ferguson the scene was heavy and thick for several minutes with the theater students continuing their performance as scheduled, while the graduate students howled their displeasure at events. Things cooled somewhat when university registrar ferguson asked the professor teaching the course, about the production and was ‘assurred it was part of his class. Ferguson then told police all was in order, but the graduates insi5ted that the undergrads and their professor be disciplined. With ferguson’s assurance that all was in order, the police left and the class continued.

Still I can’t wholly condemn newlove. Publishing companies and editors have a habit of filling the market with new merchandise once they find a saleable product. This is witnessed by the fact that newlove has another book due to come out in late 1972. Had The Cave been held up a little. longer there is a good chance that with second thoughts, self-criticism and good editing it could have been the second best book I’ve read this year. Still newlove’s new book may perserve the faith that has been shaken by The Cave. And if it does, then newlove will be more than deserving of whatever praise he has received or will receive.

The “wobblies” were a small but ruthlessly dedicated band who inspired paranoia in their enemies7and this included conservative labor leadersbecause of their uncomprising militancy, e.pitomized in such slogans as “Labor produces all wealth, all wealth must go to labor.”
Stuewe -
’
This is not only silly in the context of the film-hill is barely acquainted with the woman, and there is no evidence of mutual passion-but also ignores the available historical evidence, which indicates that he was justifiably afraid of incriminating his fellow “wobblies,” and felt that their testimony would not be accepted as an “alibi” by the court. The problem of the “visual correlatives” is perhaps less serious-hollywood has conditioned us to the “young man sees evil, immediately dedicates the rest of his life to fighting it” approach to socail issues-but it is annoying enough to be mentioned. The joe hill who emerges from this approach is a ‘rather superficial and unconvincing protagonist, and tommy berggren’s performance only partially overcomes my reservations. Berggren was excellent as the young army officer in Elvira Madigan, but his boyish charms
are so unaffected by the harassment and violence he encounters that one can hardly accept him as a militant union organizer. As a saint, perhaps, but unless my historical knowledge is deficient, saints don’t usually get into organizing unions. Corrections invited. Since this film purports to be a biography, thes failures of conceptualiza tion and dramatic rendering just about destroy its credibility as “the story of joe hill.” Now for the good news: if we forget about joe hill, widerberg has created a movie which, on the purely visual level, can be enjoyed as series of beautiful images. As was also true of Elvira Madigan, widerberg’s romantic sensibilities are so lushly represented that deficiencies in character or plot are oftep forgotten; and if these last aren’t a hang-up for you, I can recommend Joe Hill as fine compensation for the visual poverty of comtemporary life.
The outdoor scenes are strongly evocative of a pre-“civilized” america, and the opening shots of life in the slums of new york are equally convincing historical cameos. It’s not thata they’re necessarily “realistic”, bui rather that they constitute a coherent approach to the reconstruction of reality : while this may be a fantasy, at least it’s together. When you throw in stefan grossman’s perfectly appropriate score (for solo guitar), the result is a film extremely pleasing to the eye and the ear, although quite offensive to this particular head. Maybe that’s the solution: get fairly heavily stoned before you see it and forget all this intellectual stuff. As joe hill said in “n&*‘last will:”

They do not, however, competsate for such complete disasters as “one of These Days,” a rip-off from “spaghetti western” incidental music, or “Fearless, ” a moody moog piece which pointlessly interpolates a “Live at the Wembly Cup” recording of “You’ll Never Walk Alone.” There must be an audience for Meddle, but I doubt that it’s reading this column. Unless you really feel a need for some mildly psychedelic muzak, forget it. I can’t imagine a better antidote for Meddle A--._ than ‘-james brown’s latest workout, Hot Pants (Poldor 2425-086). No recording will ever capture Brown’s incredible stage prescence, and since he seldom performs in Canada, we’ll just have to make do; but if you ever have the chance to see him live, grab it, and find out why black people chuckle when such rod stewart are described as “soul singers.” Hot Pants runs only a bit over thirty minutes, and almost five are wasted on an inferior version of “Can’t Stand It.” But the meat of the album-and I do mean meatis- contained in the two extendea
pieces,. “Blues & Pants” and the title song, which are what “soul” is all about: solidly funky rhythm on the bottom, tasty horn riffs and solos on top, and brown’s screaming, moaning, pleading vocals cutting through it like a tomcat in heat.. There is certainly a “vulgar” element in brown’s music (“H&t Pants” is subtitled “She Got to Use What She Got to Get What She Wants”), and I suppose it’s also “unliberated.” But it’s so damn vital and urgent that I can’t really fault him on those grounds. Brown’s verbal “messages” are so peripheral to his - musical accomplishments that he could just as well have used “machismo blues” for inspiration; and, given’ his penchant for topicality, he probably will. Fellow brown freaks may notice that the back-up band on Hot Pants isn’t quite as together as “The Famous Flames,” although they’re still very good. If you like this album, however, see if you can find I Can’t Stand Myself (King 1030) in the local discount bins-it features some incredible horn work by “mace0 and the boys,” and is one of the finest “soul music” LPs ever made. Hot Pants is almost on the same level, and that’s a compliment.
voice of jagger. From * joan, it sounds like the true tribute to humanity its words beg for. This cut is a prime example of why-despite that she now uses drums, bass and electric guitar backing-joan cannot be really aligned with those considered “rock” musicians ;&she is anchored in something much more stable than that. And, although joan the songwriter allows sadness and sometimes bitter cynicism with the world to creep into her songs, as in “The Hitchhiker Song” :
But the joan baez we have know takes over again at the end:
There are several large gaps in hill’s biography, which has led widerberg to adopt two strategies in an effort to sustain a narrative line: he either invents motivation&i and characters where none are known to have existed, as in the case of hill’s mysterious silence about his actions on the night he supposedly committed murder, or visual he supplies flimsy correlatives for hill’s presumed intellectual development, as when widerberg equates hill’s conversion to radicalism with ‘the reading of a few “wobbly” pamphlets. Both these devices have the hill’s effect of trivializing character without making him any more “real.” His silence about the night of the murder, for example, is presented as a chivalrous attempt to protect the reputation of an old flame.
Heavies and lightweights .
As a fledgeling sociologist concerned with youth culture trends, I’m often struck by the vehemence with which older “heads” denounce the Grand Funk Railroad-James Gang sound as “music for speed freaks.” O.K., amphetamines are a heavy trip, and users do tend to be an obnoxious and thoroughly wretched bunch of people; but if we’re going to identify a type of music with its least savory adherents, we’ll also have to throw out Wagner (adolf hitler 1 and the beatles (Charles manson), among others. While agreeing that the speeding set has pretty execrable taste, I must admit that I own one James Gang, record, and that I listen to it when I want to finger-pop, practice rusty dance routines, or just plain -jump up and down. Let he who is without sin.... This is all by way of introduction to Bloodrock U.S.A. (Capitol SMAS 645)) a surprisingly enjoyable album from a band that I’ve never really listened to before. Bloodrock doesn’t mess around: they had me up and moving with the first track
My body?-oh!-If I could choose I would to ashes it reduce And let the merry breezes blow My dust to where some flovers grow.... Good luck

“blessed are...” joan baez 1 Joan Baez has come to occupy a strangely unique stature in contemporary music. Unlike most “rock” (in the widest sense of that term) musicians, she has devoted her life to her music, and her music to her political and social beliefs, without qualms as to how this will effect her as an entertainer. So, many conservatives are turned off by her radical pacifism and many leftists are turned off by what they see as her compromised white liberalism. But it says a lot about joan baez that she is still left with a large following who agree with her musically, or politically, or both. Joan has not left her folk origins completely behind, but in recent years has gravitated-along with a ‘great number of north american musicans-toward nashville, placing her generally in the growing country-folk-rock genre. This was blatantly borne out in her “One Day at a Time” album
last year, “blessed
and is substantiated in are...“, h”er latest
release. “Blessed are...“, however, is an ambitious (if unfortunate, for those of us on small budgets) tworecord undertaking in which joan proves she is still enough of an artist to escapes labels. She goes from steady top-40 rock to overt country-western and back to her early unadorned folk styles in the course of her 20 cuts (five per side). She also adds to her growing respect as a composer, as well as interpreter, of music. She wrote nine of the songs presented here, and several-especially “Milanese Waltz/Marie Flore”, “Three Horses” and the title song-far outdo her originals on previous albums. But, as usual, joan seems at her best doing a selection of borrowed songs, and she borrows from the best-robbie roberston, jaggerrichards, kris kristofferson,
lennon-mccartney and jesse Winchester, among others. Probably the best-known cut on the album is her version of robertson’s “Night They Drove Old Dixie~ Down’.‘, which was released as a single and went over big as an am-top-46 hit. .That alone is enough to make . some2 snobbish fans consider it absolutely ‘unlikeable; and hardcore Band fans also have probably taken an instant dislike to this upbeat perversion. But for many (including me) joan puts a dose of badly-needed life into this draggy, whiney lament for the fallen confederacy. Joan’s version is joyuously triumphant instead of dirge-like; and, at the bottom of all arguements, it is just one of the most plain’ damn listenable cuts *. I’ve heard in a while. And, because of what joan baez is, it is much easier to hear her sing “Salt of the Earth” than it was from the hypocritical superstar
“So walk to the
edges of a dying kindgom, There’s one more summer just around the bend...”
and again in “Fifteen
Months”:
“You see there’s really nothing wrong, I’ve just got the blues Cuz if you give a damn You’re going to pay some dues...”
friday
“But if yqu see the game we’re in . Like I do, you know in time we’ll win.”
These 20 cuts will simply be too much for someone who is not at least a fledgling baez fan, but by now most people know if they’re taken enough with joan to get into this two-record set. She is- backed by some fine electric and acoustic guitar work by norman blake and pete wade, and gets help from (dig this, C-w freaks) the Nashville Strings and the Town and Country Singers. The liner notes also thank kristofferson, but it’s not readily apparent for what. David harris’ beguiling gahanWilson-ish painting on the cover is worth a few minutes inspection when you’re in the record store next, even-if you’re not going to get the album.

Clarke’s description of the boy’s mother and her elaborate preparations for his grooming, getting out the pants that have been ironed over and over to effect a permanent crease, the starched shirt and brilliantly polished shoes bring the reader closer to‘ the characters in this story than any of the others in the book. . Clarke writes of this boy and his misfortune with a tenderness that can not help but to evoke the same response in the reader.

Take the story of a young superstar in the national hockey league, combine well with a tragic love story (a theme already proven effective) and the final product, after good blending, should ‘be a success at the box office. The complicated blending of these separate worlds never did get together and lost for face-off the essential ingredient, credibility. The 600,000 dollar production nonetheless is enjoying a large financial gain with most of its return from pockets of the ‘under-twenty’ crowd and hockey buffs. To appeal to the younger set who will pay more than once to see the first real movie of the national ‘hockey league, producer john bassett cut the movie drastically and achieved a ‘general’ rating. The movie follows billy duke, a young hockey player;, from his early years under a prodding father, through the junior league (with the Peterborough petes) and finally on to the glamorous national hockey league as the rookie star of the toronto maple leafs. The plot begins to develop after duke has sparked the petes to the championship. While celebrating ‘with the guys’ at a night club, he becomes strangely attracted to the performing pop singer, sherri lee nelson. Initially, sherri gets no impressive vibes from the jockstar and mildly puts him down when asked to announce his presence to the audience. Their second meeting sees a yet more confident billy duke, now the star of an NHL team, sarcastically asking sherri for an autograph during a promotional campaign. The plot thickens when the popstar and jock-hero get together for a walk around big-city-toronto. A thunderstorm sends them scurrying to sherri’s home in a panic. Then, the most unbelievable scene of the film unfolds. Sherri appears obviously petrified by the storm and on the cracking of thunder leaps fifteen feet across the room into the strong arms of the young Canadian hockey star who comforts her. She also turned for solace to dope-blowing, an act billy refuses to experience, “it leads to tobacco”.

Six-hundred thousand dollars, a thread-bare plot and hockey is beginning to net john f. bassett another box office success in the movie Face-Off. Stopping in kitchener over-night during the tail end of his cross country whirlwind promo-tour, the dapper, moustached bassett hopes he will experience financial success similar to his Hair-venture with ed mirvish, although the critical reaction has not been as positive. “Most people like Face-Off, especially the 14 to 18 age group,” he said and characterized critics as only intellectuals or worse, pseudo-intellectuals representing only seven or eight per cent of the movie-going public. Hockey is the main theme of the movie and bassett admitted keeping explicit sex scenes off the screen to obtain a non-restricted rating. “I’d be drummed out of the country by every boy scout troop and even the governors of the NHL if it had sex in it.” Bassett’s reaction to other popular movies feature what he terms “sexploitation” is strangely
The relationship continues with duke being an emotionally stable partner and sherri dependent on his strength. Throughout the film, sherri displays an inability to accept violence in any form. When for the first time she views the star in action, billy gets involved in a brawl on the ice. With total indignation sherri promptly leaves her seat. One continually wonders how these two worlds could possibly merge, as depicted. Surely a ‘hipchick’, (as bassett terms sherri) pop-singer playing gigs across the continent could see no reality in a rough-tumble hockey-jock. The only assutiption to be made is that she uses him in a stud-role, but because of the general rating this aspect is never developed or even insinuated. The simple fact that producer bassett refused to increase the credibility of the film but opted to expand the financial margin, doomed the film to a patchwork format. The essential enigma of , the hockey stars viewed regularly on Wednesday nights presented a great opportunity for insight but was by-passed at the film’s loss. The photography, including that of the games which varied little
What the puck
from what sees on ‘hockey-nightin-Canada’, deserves no mention. Art hindle puts in a mediocre performance as the hockey player. Although he learned to skate well enough to do some of the fight scenes himself, he drifts through the scenes without real emotional power and never actually touches the viewers. Trudy young, a girl-down-thestreet type actress delivers a performance less than memorable despite an alluring personal quality. Wojek star john Vernon played the leafs’ coach in this shallow rendition of a could-be great film. The only outstanding personality in the film was frank moore who wrote all the songs for and delivered a believable performance as barney job, sherri’s friend and father-figure. The movie never does get off the the ground and follows too closely its protype, love story (even to the point of the lovers running and playing in the snow). Hockey lovers will probably form the majority of the queues to see the flick but will gain little insight, and the romanticists will find little to hold onto. dennis mcgann

sex in bassett’s puritanical. He does not consider those scenes necessary and “besides everybody nowadays are participants,” he quipped. Although admitting the globe and mail critic termed the film “unbelievably ludicrous and ludicrously unbelievable,” bassett claims the movie has a credibility that is supported by bit actor and hockey player george armstrong. Armstrong reportedly said, “I’ve known a lot of billy dukes in my 19 years with the maple leafs.” Several hockey players worked on the Face-Off script which adds to its authenticity, bassett sugges’ted i “It’s this kind of ‘attitude that makes women’s lib what it is. They think of women only as bedmates, a playboy attitude.” Art hindle, the actor who played billy duke, supported bassett’s opinion by drawing on his involvement with the NHL players during the film. “They are playing three nights a week before 16,000 people and they are the best in the world. What else can they do?” Hindlk seems to be making a habit of films which use real chat-
film
acters-hockey players in FaceOff and member’s of satan’s choice in a yet-to-be-released movie called Proud Rider. For Proud Rider hindle had to learn how to ride a motorcycle and for Face-Off he had-to learn how to skate-at least well enough to do body checks and fights, seemingly the most important parts of hockey. The halifax born actor was apologetic that he had to learn to play hockey at the advanced age of 27. He quickly pointed out that he hgd bronchial pneumonia as a child and therefore could not take part in outdoor hockey. “If I can’t be the best, I don’t want to do it.” He spent three hours a day for a month prior to filming with the maple leafs learning to skate. Although Face-Off was a natural for bassett because of the family’s involvement with the argonauts and formerly with the maple leafs team itself, his next film will go back into Canadian history and deal with the massacre of the black donnellys. deanna kaufman and dennis mcgann

Frustrated by the permissiveness and moral laxity of his parents, arthur seeks the restrictions of principles and ideals which will need defending. If he can involve himself in their defence, he imagines he will have given meaning to life-his own and his parents’. But, of course, there is no one to defend his ideals against. His mother just shrugs off his philosophizing and moralizing as an idiosyncracy ; she is more concerned with,her at-home lover, the stupid and vulgar eddy. His father acts much the same as arthur except that he is whimsically experimenting in art; he ignores arthur as well. Arthur’s atint eugenia would rather play cards than be upset by him. Ala, his girlfriend is incredulous of a marriage proposal he makes-why bother? Only his uncle eugene supports

We decided to write about irving layton and his poetry reading on campus, because from a women’s point of view, he was degrading the female sex and drily reinforced the I already pervasive belief that women are inferior. We feel that if c this social attitude is to be changed then the subtle, almost muted, presence of ! this belief must be exposed at every opportunity. Literature, specifically poetry, is often so entertaining that it is difficult to verbalize exactly what in the work is appealing to you. It may be the style, the rhythm, or the use of words; but it is always difficult to express exactly what it is< Becasue of this, a piece of literature can be racist or sexist without the reader being consci&sly aware that this is so. In this way, values or attitudes can be reinforced that are detrimental to certain groups in our society. We want to expose the sexist attitude that is present in the poetry of irving layton because most reviews written so far have only dealt with his style, his creativity, his use of language, or his realism. For example, a criticism of layton by w. c. Williams can be summarized in this statement by him, “He (layton) has an unrivalled choice of words; and unusual vocabulary and the ability to use it. We will go a step further and say that layton has the ability to be very perceptive, emotional, and to show a deep insight. In such poems as Bullcalf and Improved Binoculars he portrays tincomfortable realism and and a concern for humanity. But many of his poems concern women, in a metaphorical and sometimes direct context, and it is here that the poet seems lacking. It is in these poems that we see layton as inadequate in the role of poet as prophet. He does not use his talent of insight when the subject matter is the female. It s&ems that layton writes in the belief that women are simply ‘recreation for the warrior’ and this reflects the long established idea of a woman’s place in our society. He does not use his perceptive ability to write of what could or should be.
arthur whom he sees as a restorer of the good old days of secured traditions. As he ingratiatingly points out to arthur, he is not ahead of the times like the others but behind them. With his uncle’s help arthur decides to re-establish moral order by forcing the marriage ceremony not only on ala, but also oi? the rest of his family. His aunt must bless himself and ala; his father must do up his fly. But on the day of the wedding arthur shows up drunk because he realizes the phoniness of the situation he has set up. Still, he is impressed by his display of ‘naked power’ and decides to kill his old uncle. To save him, ala stuns arthur with the announcement that that very morning she had slept with eddy. Eddy, seizing the opportunity offered by arthur’s shock, kills him. The play ends with eddy and the uncle dancing the once-immoral, now-acceptable tango by arthur’s body. Ali of the actors except russel Scott as uncle eugene managed only burlesques. of their chayacters. Perhaps this might be explained by their only having just learned their lines,(that is how their performance seemed).
In his reading, women were portrayed as either the perpetrator of evil. the victim. or the passive creatuie who is neither intelligegt, creative, or self-defining. She is most always defined in terms of sex. Specifically, we refer to expressions from his poems such as: the ‘iron whore’, ‘the evil blond’, ‘the bitch’, ‘frail candle’, ‘bewildered birds’, ‘saintly wantons’, and ‘virgins whose legs spread like jam’. Two women he seemed to be very close to were his mother and mrs. fornheim, but even here both women are only victims; his mother is the victim of old age and vanity and mrs. fornheim is the victim of cancer. Layton writes of women in this manner probably because he has, like most members of our society, been unable to transcend the socialization process. This process allows poets such as layton to use women as objects for entertainment through sexual exploitation. The males in the audience seemed to accept the poems that were degradations of women as if they were inside jokes atid both they and layton smiled af,ter each, while some I of the females in the audience smiled in acquiescence. By accepting even the most eloquent objectification of the female sex, even if it is put into pleasing verse, we are supporting the futility of trying to change societies attitudes and at the same time will be preserving the powerstructured relationships that make women the lower caste that they are. We may have one consolation; the poems read by layton were
Occasionally burlesque workedfor example, ala’s speech ‘Fat have we (women> done to deserve our bodies’ was admirably consistent with her character and theater of the absurd. Often, however, burlesque left actors with too small a stock of gestures: the nose-in-the-air pelvic jabs of arthur to punctuate all his orations, or the sixty-mile an-hour speeches of arthur’s father where apt and where not. The set design for Tango worked well except for the card scene in the inner room where sight-lines were blocked. Pale or dark colours, old furniture and old rugs suggest the stagnancy in time, the purposelessness which arthur hated. Costumes except that of eddy (who would have looked better in a black tee-shirt) worked this effect as well. With only these things and the quqlity of the script going for it, the Blackfriars’ performance does not have very much to recommend it. If, however, you would like a taste of theater of the absurd you should go. The play will run for two more days--the 26th and 27thGn the humanities theater. Admission is 75 cents for students. taken from a volume of collected works, which is to be published soon. This might mean, as he says, that his publishers are assuming “there will be no new skin” from layton. (He refers to his already published poetry as old skin). Perhaps in his new or future poems layton will show an improvement in his attitudes towards women. At the moment, we feel there may be at least one place $n our society fdr poets such as layton-maybe as poet in residence for the engineers. - . For those who are not familiar with the word misogyny it refers to one who shows a hatred or mistrust for women. We noted that there is no comparable word for hatred or distrust of men.

Lu.urentian’s president freed THUNDER BAY (CUP)-The crown told a fort william criminal court yesterday that it would not prosecute obstruction charges laid against lakehead university president wg tamblyn. The charges were laid by Canadian. liberation movement chairman gary perly after tamblyn failed to appear in court a week ago to answer a crown subpoena to testify in the trespassing trial of 11 lakehead students. Tamblyn’s lawyer had reportedly told the crown that tamblyn was in Ottawa, although it was later discovered that he was in thunder bay. The 11 had been charged with trespassing at tamblyn’s home during a demonstration there on may 1. Both the crown attorney and ’ tamblyn’s lawyer asked the judge to refuse to even hear perly’s Iargument. The crown attorney gave no reason for refusing to ‘prosecute and has himself admitted that he has recently prosecuted the same charge against other persons under a similar circumstances. Jim young, perly’s counsel, said that “the queen may not. wish to prosecute but perly does” ! He asked that the judge grant an adjournment so that perly could prepare his arguments as to why he, perly , has the right to pr0secut.e this case. At this point, the crown attorney leapt to his feet and began to attack perly. Re has no right to \ prosecute, he has no right even to address this court, he said. Young explained that under section 2, subsection 33 of the criminal code of Canada, “if the attorney-general does not intervene,” in the case then the person who lays the charges may act as prosecutor instead of the attorney-general. Judge duthrie adjourned the until Wednesday, hearings november 17 at 2 pm so that he could decide whether or not he will hear the arguments of perly and the crown attorney on the question of perly’s right to be the prosecutor. The controversy which led to tamblyn’s appearance in the prisoner’s dock, arose from the trial last Wednesday of 11 persons charged with trespassing at tamblyn’s home d’]uiing. a demonstration there last may. The demonstrators were demanding that tamblyn resign because of his refusal to rehire popular sociology professor victor wightman and institute ‘an appeal board against future arbitrary firings, Wighman was alledgedly fired for opposing the treatment out by US owned pulp and paper companies to the people living in their company towns. Two of the demonstrators, librarian brian leekley and clerk margie wally, were fired from their jobs in- the. university by tamblyn who used their arrest for trespassing. as a justification for his action. Both are members of the Canadian liberation movement. Wally was reinstated as a result of a union grievance. Two weeks ago, tamblyn did resign but he still refuses to rehire wightman or leckley or grant any of the other demands. His sevenyear reign come to an end june 30, 1972. * 1, Tamblyn’s failure to appear in court last week for the peremptory hearing of the trespassing case forced the court to drop all charges for lack of evidence. There can be no adjournments following a peremptory trial.

VICTORIA (CUP)--In a surprise announcement, president brute partridge of the university of Victoria resigned his position november 16. The board of governors, because of antiamerican sentiment on campus and a prolonged tenure dispute, did not contest his resignation. Partridge, an american, said that the university was entering a crucial period in its growth, and stated that “in such times, it is more important than ever for the president to look to the future and to ask himself whether he can function at optimum effectiveness. If not, then to continue would be to do the university a disservice. “I have concluded that it is now best for the university, for me, and form my family, that I resign,” he told about 566 faculty and professional staff members gathered to hear his final address. The board of governors, which supported partridge solidly through numerous crises last year when his credentials were being questioned by the university community, blamed his present situation on the “venomous attacks” which have brought partridge to “his outer limit of endurance”. But even they were beginning to doubt partridge’s ability to hand on and be an effective administrator, as his credibility continued to slip amid anti-american feeling and the tenure hassle. Partridge’s resignation, while being “his own decision”, was agreed upon collectively with board officials, according to vicepresident gill auchinleck. “There comes a point where you can’t ask a person to carry on,” auchinleck said. A board spokesman further said that “generous” arrangements had been made with partridge concerning terminal salary, and that the departing president would receive “extra” benefits other than severance pay.
Partridge, whose resignation becomes effective january 31, began to lose face at the university last spring when the student newspaper the martlet revealed that his two law degrees were from a mail order college in Chicago and recognized only in the state of calif ornia.

OTTAWA (CUP&About 250 ontario women gathered in Ottawa Saturday to demonstrate to the federal government their support ’ for the repeal of repressive abortion laws. Their demonstration coincided with many other demonstrations around the world which marked international abortion day. The women who gathered on parliament hill met with liberal mp ralph stewart who tried to persuade them that the government had their best interests at heart. However, he was unable to set a date for the promised abortion debate in the commons and showed no optimism for the removal of abortion from the criminal code. The pro-abortion demonstrators were also met by the 150 antiabortion demonstrators from the alliance for life who heckled proabortion speakers. There were a few speeches in support of the right of women to control their own bodies plus a few songs ; then the demonstration quietly broke up. As the women dispersed one demonstrator noted that although it is true that legislation alone can never bring about functional equality for women nor end male chauvinism, “we must at least push for reforms that will allow us to make decisions about our lives and bodies without being legally branded as criminals”.

P drie. stores picketed kb pkomote krufi boycott REGINA (CUP)--The boycott against kraftco Corp. gained momentum last week as members of the national farmers union picketed grocery chain stores in major prairie centres and in the peace river country of alberta. The purpose of the picketing was to persuade consumers to boycott kraft products thus helping dairy producers in their battle for collective bargaining. Kraft has been chosen as the! target of the boycott because it is the largest corporation in the foodmarketing field in Canada. In Regina, 52 picketers covered ten stores on Saturday. The co-op and safeway allowed the picketers-mainly female members of the NFU-to stand inside their buildings and distribute. material, however loblaws and dominion would not allow them to enter. In edmonton, 150 picketers covered 20 stores but weren’t allowed to enter any. In saskatoon 125 picketers covered 14 stores. Picketers reported favourable response from consumers, and clerks at some stores told them sales of kraft products were noticeably down. NFU locals in Saskatchewan plan to picket grocery stores at smaller prairie centres in the next few weeks and to distribute boycott material. Similar picketing has already taken place in ontario
and boycott activity will move next to british Columbia and prince edward island. At an evaluation session following the Saskatchewan picketing, the Saskatchewan federation of labour promised the NFU its full support in the boycott. The regina labour council and the regina students’ union have also voiced support of the boycott. National co-ordinator of the campaign, don kossick, has discounted stories and editorials appearing in the commercial media that the boycott is throwing labour union members out of work. Workers at kraft plants are not unionized, and the NFU has lifted the boycott against products from two of kraft’s subsidiaries, sealtest and dominion dairies, because they are unionized. Kossick said farm union and labour union people are ‘united in this boycott because kraft is their common enemy. The unorganized workers at kraft plants who cannot bargain collectively to obtain a living wage are in the same position as the farmers who are at the mercy of international corporations like kraft or carnation who use provincial marketing agencies to set prices and quotas. Mossick said consumers would also benefit if farmers gain the right to collective bargaining, since this would put some controls on such firms. friday

Again, all the below-a have experienced a sign; proportion of national inc above average groups, ar It is significant, how&ve period, the 6th and 7th de their relative position, wl has been the sole maldistri bu tion.
In this two-part special report on poverty and income in canada (part 2 on page 30-31), the chevron presents first, an adaptation ofpa report by’university of Waterloo history professor leo johnson which he presented earlier this month to the citizen’s commission of inquiry into the war measures act. Johnson’s report illustrates the growing maldistribution-of income among rich and poor in Canada, particularly in quebec, and concludes that since governments have responded to increasing impoverishment only with a patchwork of minimal welfare, it is not surprising that revolutionary- strategies are growing in PoPularity
&haps the most dispuieting aspect of the current process of re-examination of Canadian life, and the growth of social unrest in Canada and Quebec, is the degree to which such analysis concentrates upon the activities of individuals and groups, and ignores or makes only pas,sing cirreference to the social and economic cumstances in which unrest occurs.
-
Thus, when issues such as the relationship between poverty, unemployment and social disorder are raised, they are examined as static factors rather than being considered as part of a dynamic process. In particular, the whole question of the distribution of wealth and the personal economic consequences of living in an advanced capitalist econ%ly is rendered meaningless by the use of national averages and a concentration on gross national product as the measure of progress and prosperity. What we must do first, then, is examine the
distribution of income in Canada over the past two decades in order to establish some general conclusions about the personal consequences of the economic changes that have occured. Second, we should concentrate on Quebec in the period 1965-1969 in order to see how these processes -have effected that province. This approach will make it clear that average incomes in Canada are much lower than is generally supposed (see table I). For example, in 1968, an individual was earning at the 90 percentile level if his income exceeded $9,lOO.OO. Secondly, while a superficial look at the table of average earnings would seem to indicate that all sectors of income earners had greatly improved their buying power between 1948 and 1968, when these figures are adjusted for the extreme inflation of that period, a drastically different picture emerges (see table 2).
Maldistribution
of income
First of all, as table 2 shows, there has been a large increase in average per-capita purchasing power both in the 1948-58 and 1958-68 periods. Indeed, in that 20-year period, incomes increased, on average, by almost fifty percent. -- It is-ciear, however, that there is an extreme ,maldistribution of income in Canada. SO while the wealthier Canadians have received an aboveaverage proportion of that increased income, those with lower incomes have not only received a disproportio-nitely small proportion of Pne

increased wealth, they have actually iost a substantial part of the incomes they rece&ved during the previous period. (Moreover, maldistribution of incomes’ of the lower deciles is masked to a large degree by the fact that the government included old age pensions in the income figures for 1958 and 1968-this inclusion creates the 27.98 percent increase in the 1948-1958 figures for the lowest income decile in that period). Not only have the lower income groups received a below average increase (or decrease as the‘case may be) but if one closely examines the relative changes in the 1948-58 and 1958-68 period a clear pattern appears. In every below-average case the relative benefit is proportionately lower between 1958-68 than it had- been in the previous decade. Moreover, the point of division between those receiving below-average and above-average benefits from the increased national prosperity has moved from the 50 percent level in the 194858 period to the 60 percent level in the 1958-68 period. When one considers that 1968 was a peak year in the great boom of the 1960’s, the accelerating impoverishment of the poor is made even more significant.

in the long run, of course, there are finite limits to these safety valves. With the average and above-average income-earner becoming more and more resistant to high taxation, a point must be reached where the increasing needs of the poor and unemployed run headlong into the growing resistance to increased welfare. The recent barrage of attacks upon the welfare “rights” of young unemployed males suggests that this process has already beguh. Since, as john porter and volume 3’A of the Report of the royal commission on bilingualism and biculturalism have pointed out, that there is a strong correlation between ethnic background and economic status, it is hardly surprising that protest and violence first occured among the french-speaking quebecois who are on average, one of the most disadvantaged groups. Should there be no reversal of the processes of impoverishment of the poor and the economic polarization of Canadian society, one might expect a growi~lg incidence of economic protest in other sectors of Canadian society as well.
W
ithin Quebec society in recent years (1965,1969) the economic changes strongly parallel those which have occurred in* canada as a whole. First.of all, from the point of the general income situation, it would not appear’ that the quebec economy has experienced any unusual pressures. For example, while the Canadian labor force has brown by 24 percent during the 1965-1969 period (and that of Ontario by 24.4) quebec’s labor force has grown by only 19 percent. Moreover, quebec’s per-capita purchasing power increase during that period (6.7 percent) is identical to the Canadian average. On the other hand, during that period the increase in Ontario was 8.1 percent. Over a//, in the - 196569 period, quebec incomes remained at 98 percent of the canadian average, while Ontario incomes increased from 706 to 707.5 percent of the Canadian average. Only in the high unembloyment figures does quebec reveal any degree of unusual distress.
French-speaking suffer most It .is not until .one begins to examirie the distribution of incomes in quebec that major problems appear. First of all, one must bear in mind that the incomes of quebecois of french extraction, on average, are only 64 percent of those of british extraction. This means that incomes of the french population are 91.8 percent of the quebec aver,age, while those of the british equal 142.4 perctlnt. Thus decreases of incomes among the lower income deciles in quebec fa/I dispropor-. tionately heavily upon the francophone population, and increases in the upper income sectors go largely to the anglophone population. As table 3 demonstrates, such changes are large indeed, given.che short period under study. The most obviotis fact that strikes one’s attention is the enormbus (34.76 percent) decline in purchasing power of the bottom ten percent of quebec’s Income-earners. As well, the great boom period of the “quiet revolution.” and expo ‘67 have entirely failed to bring any benefit to the next thirty percent of workers. Whatever psychic benefits these workers might h&e received from provincial policies of economic grandure, these have certainly not been matched in their pocket books or grocery carts. As. in canada as a whole, the poorer paid quebec workers receive a declining proportion of all income. Again, as in canada as a whole, only the atiove average income earners received above average proportions of increased provincial income. The proc e‘ss of economic polarization are clearly indicated and are accelerating dramatically. In quebec, this process is rendered even more conspicuous than in canada as a whole by, the diffe$ing ethnic composition of those who benefit and those who are injured. It is not surprising, therefore, that economic protest in quebec often takes on racial overtones. Cdnsidering that the processes of economic polarization and impoverishment of the poorer sectors in canada for at least twenty years, and income statistics demonstrate that the process is
both continuing and.accelerating in canada and quebec, one can more readily understand the reason that marxist and socialist criticism of capitalism have created such a widespread interst among students and workers. Considering that in the past two decades, government policies have failed either to recognize the problem of maldistribution and increasing impoverishment, or when responding, have done so in the half-hearted and patchwork approach of minimal welfare, it is not surprising that there is a growing popularity of extra parliamentary and revqlutionary strategies. Whether or not one agrees with the marxist analysis of the causes and cures sf the economic ills of canada and quebec, one thing must be recognired. There is a growing army of impoverished and alienated people made desperate by the long-continued failures of the Canadian capitalist system and democratic government to meet thei’r needs. We therefore must bear in mind that events such as*those which occured in October 1976 are likely to become more frequent and more sevete as time goes on unless drastic social and economic changes are made.
Liberty meaningless? In these circumstances the struggle to preserve civil rights is likely to become more and more difficult as those who are privileged pressure the government into taking strong stances for “law and order” and the. protection of property rights. As the prime minister .has poi&d out, democracy is not strong in canada. But, democracy is not strong in canada precisely for the reason that the poor and disadvantaged are losing hope that their right to a decent amaterial existence will be met under our current economic and constitutional -system. , The commission of inquiry into the war act should not limit its recommeasures mendations merely to the matter of strengthening current civil liberties legislation, but should also interest itself in the problem of the creation of public means whereby the poor and disadvantaged can communicate their needs to society in such a way as to require their recognition and redress. Should society continue to fail to meet those human needs and rights, civil liberties will in all likelihood quickly be rendered meaningless as both the governing and governed reach for more and more drastic means to further their private ends.

Canada has, in the past, suffered from a lack of major musical entertainment. no hotter property in the field of contemporary music today than Webber and that, quite simply, is why SUPERSTAR is in Guelph on Monday, December 6th.
From a promoters point of view, there is Rice’s JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR. And *
Due to the expense of presenting this show, it is being staged at the Guelph Memorial Gardenswhere the seating . capacity facilitates low ticket prices-$3.50 plus tax advance and $4.00 plus tax at the door. An integrated light and sound system, which travels exclusively with SUPERSTAR, highlights the theatre-in-the-round presentation of this controversial rock opera. The Superstar technicians take a full day to “‘tune” their equipment to each hall thereby guaranteejng excellent sound reproduction no matter where they play. The cast is composedof a large rock orchestra and many fine vocalists including Laurie Hood (playing Mary Magdalene) whose credits include a leading role in the Toronto production of “Hair”, and Victor Garber (in the rote of Jesus Christ) who played the major male lead in New York’s “Hair”. Both Laurie and Victor are past members of Canada’s Famous Sugar Shoppe.

Coach kemp received a purple and white ice cream from two players tuesday which set the scene for the 76-58 licking that western received at the hands of the athenas. Western, a much improved club from last year, *opened the game playing a man-to-man defense, much to the liking of the athenas. Although it was western’s second set-back in as many starts, they stayed with Waterloo during most of the first half, trailing 34-26 at the buzzer. In the first quarter, Waterloo seemed to be very disorganized, while setting up their offensive patterns. It was not until the end of the half, when the full court press was employed, that the team really/started to hustle and work as a unit. The full court press, along with double. teaming ?actics, forced. western into many mistakes, which resulted in Waterloo baskets. In the second half Waterloo switched from man-to-man to a ione defensive, with the two front men pressing. This was done in order to upset the pattern of play western had established and to put Waterloo in good fast breaking positions. Midway through the third quarter, these tactics started paying off for Waterloo. The team took advantage of their fast break to jump their lead into double figures, which they maintained

throughout the game. Waterloo had a much improved shooting percent from both the floor and the line, connecting on 30 of 62 shots from the floor for a 48 percent average, up over 21 percent from their last game, while from the line percentages were up to 46.6 percent from 33 percent. Top scorers for Waterloo were patti bland with 19 points, yonna luypaert and loretta mckenzie each with 12 points. Pat parker led western scorers with 12 points. Patti’s 19 points was a personnal best for her since entering uniwat. Beside contributing points, patti helped to clear both defensive and offensive boards, while stealing the ball several times. Yonna luypaert played her best game of the season, sinking 6 baskets and adding good rebounding under both boards. Rookie sherry bandy played a good aggressive game, coming up with several key steals, and good defensive rebounding. Guards loretta mckenzie and jan meyer continued with their excellent play, setting up several baskets, while adding 12 and 8 points respectively. The next game for the athenas is december 1,. when they travel to hamilton to meet mcmaster. The next home game ‘for the athenas will be friday, december 3, when they meet the tough team from Windsor.

The basketball athenas lost their first league game a week ago by a single’ point. After a convincing win against lutheran last thursday, and a good practise session monday morning the team seemed ready for the big game. Poor shooting from the floor and the line may have cost the team a needed victory. During the first few minutes of play the athenas outhustled the& o-pponents and controlled the play. Using a man-toman defense Waterloo pressed guelph forcing them to give up the ball 21 times. It was unfortunate that the team couldn’t capitalize on many of the stolen balls. Waterloo

During tuesday’s rough game she managed to grab 8 offensive rebounds to lead the team in that department. Sue murphy led Waterloo with 9 points, loretta mckenzie picked up 7 and jan meyer and patti bland garnered 6 each.

On Saturday, november 4, warrior super-jock python northy plus the remainder of the central Ontario cross country team landed in a fog at halifax. The purpose of their visit was to compete in the national cross country championships. Meet organizers decided to hold the climax cross.country event of the year on Sunday. This deprived the athletes of their usual Saturday night celebration spirits. To pass the ti?e the team ,viewed Canada’s hydrofoil hoping that it might stimulate them into running . a swift race. Sunday, the day of rest, saw Canada’s best country-crossers line up for the signal from the starting cannon. The cool weather, (for scientific experiments have proven that pythons reactions are slowed down by cool temperatures) and the roar of the starter’s cannon must have had a negative effect on python northy. To his sh?me, and to the rest of the crossers’ astonishment, except one, an unknown, known as monroe, monroe took the lead. Python and his teammates

Python being the gentleman that he is helped his c&fused teammate dave ellis along the poorly marked course. When dave, who might be used to driving on the left side of the road, made an incorrect turn python straightened him out with a few encouraging remarks, but not once did he stop in his pursuit of his prey to wait for dave. After completing one leg of the two circuit race, python and dave still could not decide whether the unknown was going to drop back or not. As the remaining-yards of the race became fewer they decided that this prey was swifter than they thought. Dave, the elder, not wishing to be outdone by the younger python, slowly edged away as they neard the tape. The result, as predicted earlier, was python in the top three (3rd), dave ellis second and monroe, a halifax native, who had been secretly training north of toronto all summer, first. Central Ontario won the team championship. Which goes to show again that pythons move slower in cold weather than in warm. Beut all was not lost, for python still has his album of old western television serial themes. Today python will team up with members of the warrior cross country team and former warriors sammy pearson and kipchogie sumner for the burrwick international road race. When asked why he was confident in winning he replied, “Well it’s south of the border and it’s supposed to be warmer there; I run better in a warmer climate than a cold one.”

the odd shower after practices, which we believe they do.Thus we can’t accept this excuse. The athletic director also suggested to set up another locker room by bringing more lockers from Seagram stadium at an expense of $200. Really this is not necessary when there are sixtynine lockers and only some thirtysix players and managers on the two teams now using the facilities.

What is it, segregation, second class athletic citizenship, lack of room, or funds? Or is it the same old problem facing women’s athletics-sitting at the back of the bus. In the case of women’s varsity sports at waterloo many would be inclined to say yes they do take the back seat to the men’s intercollegiate activities. But then there are girls teams which aren’t even allowed on the bus. This was amply explained at the women’s intercollegiate council, an advisory board of athletes whose purpose is to make recommendations to the athletic advisory board, when the question of locker facilities was brought to their attention by the swimming and diving team. This squad evidently presented a letter asking for lockers, among other things, not only for themselves but also other teams who’ need the facilities, such as gymnastics, track and field or badminton. It was brought out that there are some thirty-three lockers in one room and thirty-six in the other. The rooms are occupied only by two squads, basketball and volleyball. It was suggested at the meeting that both these squads be billeted in the same room,however it was reported, and rightly so, that these two teams practice at the ‘same time. However, it is also a known fact that most teams practice after the bulk of the day’s class periods are over and that all men’s and women’s squads are subject to such conflicts. When it was suggested that the girls swim team be allowed in with the basketball squad this evidently was also not acceptable on the grounds that one team was wet and the other was dry. Now let’s face it, one team does swim but we hope the other squad members also get wet-by taking

Tough luck fellows, better luck next time. *Final score in this fast paced, one sided game was 10 to 8 with the chevron scoring all the goals, the 8 points for the other team came out of pity. Larry burko graced the pool with his presence and also managed to scrape together a couple of points before going under for the third and last time. George kaufman, our american import, showed once again his superior stroking style with thrilling exhibitions of underwater tubing and his own unique method of dribbling with his elbows while singing “Yankee doodle” backwards. Show-off .dennis, who decided to use only his feet for the entire game had his career cut short when he was bitten on the toe while executing his infamous foot in die mouth block. Dirty pool, dirty pool ! The only complaint we have is about the referee, he is decidedly impartial and if things don’t improve soon we may be forced to resort to drastic measures such 4s taking him off the payroll. In case you people think that the stories are just figments of s6meones demented mind you have a shock coming.

Profit from puckin NCE UPON A TIME, a professional athlete couldn’t get into the average home if he employed a hockey stick as battering ram and signed a peace bond promising good behavior. The ‘old guard’ pro was a lusty, rough around the edges individual who was enjoyable to watch in his games but taboo in normal social circles. It was the original axiom of ‘they’re okay but would you want your daughter to marry *one?’ Times have changed and the sleek, new professional athlete leaps into homes in televised games, he tells you about wonder products he uses in tv commercials, his face leaps out of print, en-, dorsing products and his personal appearances help draw crowds to places where men want to move used cars. The psychology of athlete-salesmen-“if bobby orr likes it, it must be good”-has mushroomed into a thriving company for one-time toronto maple leaf trainer bob haggert and, in bob’s view, -“we’re really just beginning to tap the potential.” It’s a long way from the old wheaties and babe ruth chocolate bar days, a more sophisticated extension of it...utilizing marketin$ studies, consumer impact, regional popularity of personalities.. .a11 the madison ave. bit. ;You can see an angelo mosca challenging you to test his whiskers, yvan cournoyer and orr showinghow much’fish they can stuff into the spacious trunk of a car, at one time, tough john ferguson leaping between flowered sheets. Hopefully, to the athletes and companies involved, stampedes to razor blade counters, car companies and sheet manufacturers will assume riot proportions.

operations and experience, we came back -and set up our company. “The basic thing isthat the popular, professional athlete remains the easiest vehicle with which to enter homes. He’s welcome, whether he’s telling you about a product on television, in print or if he’s on a personal appearance at a car dealership or supermarket. Big companies are convinced of this.” _--~
Quebec special
Though it seems a simple matter to tie in an athlete with a product, it isn’t. “Take quebec, for instance. There’s a great awareness among major companies that quebec is special. The old days of getting a ‘name’ english-speaking athlete, rehearsing a few lines in french and then putting him on radio or television-expecting frenchspeaking consumers to make allowances and give him marks for trying-are gone. “Now the companies want a fluently frenchspeaking athlete with french identification. Maybe the best example of how you utilize a package is the car commercial with orr and cournoyer. Yvan does the french dialogue, for the french market, bobby the english. And you get the full impact of both players in all markets.” There’s also the matter of stt tification. If a product is being ‘pushed’ nationally, ?t requires a superstar known coast to coast. If a company is ranging in on a given, regional market, hopefully a ‘local boy’ with sound credentials and a good image can be signed. Recently, haggert was approached by a company bringing out a new hockey game for youngsters. “They said they were going for the three major markets-montreal, toronto and Vancouver. We suggested they regionalize, rather than using one Because this is canada and because haggert’s player for the whole works. Subsequently, we major background is in that sport, the hard core of decided on yvan cournoyer for quebec, ron ellis for sports representatives ltd. is hockey players. In toronto and dale tallon for Vancouver.” broadest terms, haggert has the entire national There is also a fairness to the client factor. hockey league players’ association as a client but “Sometimes a client will come to us and ask for sothe actual, marketable number is closer to 50 people and-so to do a television bit. We tell him that so-andwho get a big play. so isn’t that good on dialogue, that he doesn’t “In fact,” explains haggert, “you can really say project well and can we suggest someone else? You only about 89 are what you’d call fully marketable, -have to do the best for the client and for the athlete. fully acceptable to major, national companies. It’s “Other clients may ask for a list of, say, six like any other entertainment business.. .you want athletes who would fit a specific need and then they the top stars to project your products. In show bus- make a choice. There are many variations of how iness, an advertiser would-if he could-go for a things get done.” frank Sinatra over a relatively obscure club worker. Haggert’s company and the hockey players look “The players understand this.. .that the big at offers and bob admits there is the occasional turn contracts go to the major stars. It’s a fact of life, down from one of his people because they don’t feel and most of them understand it, that there are ‘little it is the thing for them or that they can sincerely guys’ in the business and they can make their plug it. “That is important because it maintains the dollars in the local appearances, the $190 and $296 integrity of everyone. ” things. Though haggert represents such people as footballers bill symons and jim young and golfer george knudson, hockey players are his elite-beginning with bobby orr. His hottest properties with the Though products are weighed, there are only two canadiens are frank mahovlich and yvan cournoyer out and out taboos. “Cigarettes and alcoholic beverages can’t b&done and that’s right in the NHL who “are real good properties. And they’ll get a lot more action this season because they’re both gomg contracts. I don’t think we’d touch them anyway but the fact it’s written into every player’s contract to have great years.” does simplify it.” Orr was really the starting point for haggert who, in 1968, became associated with the budding superIf the business of ‘selling’ athletes is becoming sophisticated, however, so is the selectivity in the star in the orr-mike walton hockey camp structure. The terms of reference expanded: “We (the variety ivory towers of industry. -“When the market was of partners) knew that bobby was going to take off running hot a couple of years ago, you could approach a client with-a $15,000 promotional idea and and that we should have a company to help him. What we didn’t expect is that he’d take off so fast.” he’d, liter&ly, take it out of petty-cash. and tell you to go ahead. / ’ With ,orr, the rocket who put the company into “Now, sin&-the market slump, there is more prominent orbit, the list of marketable clients grew-ivalton, ed giacomin, cournoyer, the big M, caution about’ Iw~here dollars go. If you have a proposal, you haveto have it spelled out how it will rod gilbert, brad park, ron ellis, jacques plante, benefit the product line and how strong a. persuader dale tallon, marcel dionne, alex delvecchio, and others. Many are under exclusive contract with your athlete is.” It is still a large business and, as haggert frehaggert, others share their marketable talents with other firms. quently mentions, the full potential still lies aheadespecially in the lush american market as far as Though success appears to be an overnight thing hockey players are concerned. Just how large it is for this company, it isn’t so. Haggert spent 14 years as leaf trainer. Then he became involved in selling at the moment, haggert isn’t saying. “We keep our billings confidential, for obvious reasons. Our program advertising for toronto and, eventually, toronto and montreal. Marketing techniques and revenue comes from a variety of sources*andif we salesmanship were carefully learned. mention a dollar value, well, figures can often be distorted and misinterpreted.” When the idea for this company was germinating, haggert and his associates travelled to where the Haggert is enjoying it, as are his hockey player big action is-new York-to study similar, es- clients and, hopefully, the people in industry whc see the clean-cut players as their vehicles into the tablished outfits representing the national football league, the national basketbail association -and homes and purses of the nation. “Now,” concludes bob, “we have frank and yvan major league baseball. “When we learned all we could from their right here in montreal, so if you’re going to sell...”

in ‘naismith’
At one o’clock today, the largest Canadian basketball spectacle tipsoff in the peoples gymnasium with the university of toronto meeting the powerful Simon fraser clansmen. The event is the annual naismith classic, named after the originator of the game, and promises continuous basketballing action for two full days. Simon fraser storms in from the west coast with the defending cl.ampionship on their side although last year’s most valuable player in the classic will be absent from the team. Guard bill robinson who showed viewers some fine ‘exhibition of basketball will ‘be r$aced on the clansman squad by -a predominantly: young group ‘of *i ’ ,; players. 1 Giant Wayne morgan who&red 78 points in three games last year for the western crew. willalso &be absent from the line up, he now will be the spark on the nearby guelph ‘gryphons. Larry Clark, a 6’6” forward and one of last years naismith all stars returnswith two more of last years starting five. Although Simon fraser represents this year’s first-place choice, the warriors and lutheran’s golden hawks have to be definite contenders for the top position. Al yarr’s democratic squad from th? eastern coast may prove that total team choice of starting players and practice schedules can lead the dalhousie tigers to the top. The tigers crept to the pinnacle of the atlantic league during the past season. Senior team captain dave Simpson will lead his young group onto the court to defend the honor
of the bishop’s gaters. The gaters will meet don mccrea’s Waterloo warriors in the third game -this evening. The warriors have one of the most intact and experienced teams in the tourney. Scoring leader jaan lanniste will be expected to prove outstanding from the floor as he was during the past two seasons. If the warriors can overcome the deficiencies noted in their last home game, namely , from the foul line and at the backboards, they will be the big threat to the Simon fraser gang. Not to be disregarded is don knight’s golden hawks from downthe-road-wa terlao-lutheran. All canadian guard rod dean will pose a threat as will larry danby and transfer OUAA all-star, al brown. _I Queen’s, toronto and Ottawa will round out the schedule to provide QUAA representation as well c as the ,east and west coast teams already mentioned. The gee gee’s from the nation’s capital have gone far afield in their recruiting and came up with billy chang a former member of the taiwan national team. He played on that nation’s Olympic teams in both the 1964 and 1968 games, and as well, was named to the all-asian team on several occasions. Coach george potvin feels that chang’s experience on the boards will aid the fast break for the. gee gee’s. This weekend should show the campus just what the warriors can do and what bee tee and the east coast has to offer. Predictions see the warriors, consolation winners of last year, in the play-off game on Saturday evening with lutheran taking the third spot.

Tuesday’s hockey skirmish between the warriors Ljtnd the lutheran golden hawks ended in a 4-4 tie. The game was marred by sloppy play on the part of the warriors and incompetence on the part of the hawks. The warriors started out looking good, pressing lutheran and forcing the play into the birds zone. Jim morris opened the warrior scoring on a pass from hall and kropf late in the period. This proved to be the only marker of the period with the warriors missing on many great opportunities,. outshooting the hawks 14-8.

VolleybaIlers On the weekend at the home of the grapes at the alumni hall, the intrepid warriors of volleyball aclaim took the grapes to task and. after an initial setback, came back’ in a truly team way and scored+ their first victory over a tough western &am. This marks a new high in the volleyball team’s efforts to make a comeback after a disasterous second round in the series of tournaments which comprise the so-called ‘season’. The team won seven games out of the ten that they played and at present are in third place behind western and mcmaster. The final tale will be told at the tournament of the twenty-seventh at guelph. The warriors will have to come on in the same manner that they did in our western victory, playing fast, hard-hitting, and consistent ball. The team has matured to the point where they can all be considered good players and so it remains for the coach to put six) men on the floor who have the most desire to win, and when they need help due to fatigue they can come
out of the game and know that their replacement will be able to keep the pressure up on the opponents. Can it be done? Will the team settle in and not only make the playoffs, but win? That all remains to be seen, but it is my opinion that the

team has the ability to do just that. As for outstanding performances-all the players were on a par-each did his part and as a result we are on our way back to the position where we can shoot for the top.

jazz
I respond to the discussion in the november 19 issue of the chevron (feedback) regarding the lack of good jazz on campus. I believe that there is a strong interest in jazz here and all it would take to see it surface would be, as columnist stuewe suggests, a few wellplanned concerts. There was an attempt to do this about three years ago with local musicians. There was some very enjoyable concerts and I still do not understand why they were .discontinued. Carleton is a good example of c what can be done with some effort: during a year which I -spent in Ottawa- the modern jazz quartet and freddie hubbard played at sold-out concerts. Jazz is a form of music to which few are exposed. A university is a perfect place for presenting an opportunity for such exposure and the federation should find it worthwhile to support it. . victor snieckus chemistry professor
II winter strikes
works forth
A program similar to last summer’s opportunities for youth program is now being funded by the federal government. The Canadian winter works program, sponsored by canada manpower centers across the country, is not as strict as opportunities for youth according to phi1 johnsons of the Waterloo welfare office. The program is community minded and’ age is not a factor although the program is not open to full time students. The fat angel drop-in center is one of the twin cities groups that has sent ,a project description to Ottawa in the hope of receiving a funding grant. The center hopes to start a free *- medical clinic called medifree for youth involved with the fat angel and for other young people in the city who might be hesitant to go the county health clinic or their family physician. Paul kelner, one of the directors at the fat angel, explained that there is already a physician working at the centre on a volunteer basis one half day a week. The brief used this example as a demonstration of the need for such a program as medifree. Information about obtaining grants is available at the canada manpower centre in kitchener .

Radio lutheran is now offering an over-the-air ride service to all those &shing to listen to the radio. According to andrew whitaker, the originator of the system, there are many unread notices on campus that could probably be accommodated if the information could be disseminated more easily. Centralized transportation i system or CTS would broadcast messages such as “ride needed to toronto, leaving friday after 2:30, call bill, 576-9999", or even, “car leaving south wall of kingston penitentiary sunday after dark”. To offer or obtain a ride, call radio lutheran at 578-9009 and give the necessary information. Announcers will relay the information at random times from 9 am till 2 am daily. Personnel hope people from lutheran, uniwat, conestoga, various high schools, and the surrounding community will benefit. .’ Because radio lutheran is a nonprofit-organization, it can offer this and other services free of charge; radio lutheran will relay any announcements from clubs or organizations. Free advertising or promotion is available for clubs, meetings, and special events notices. To contact radio lutheran, phone 578-9009 or write c-o the student union building at Waterloo lutheran university. Listen to radio lutheran at 90.9 on the grand river cable tv system.

ANADA IS THE second largest land mass in the world, with immense potential natural resources. Our productive capacity enables US to boast of sharing fourth place in the world ‘in per-capita income. Canada is in the position of having the fortunate combination of ” great natural resources and the economic a$set of potential human resources. And yet, canada today has the highest rate of unemployment among the industrial advanced nations. . Why is this so? The respotisibility for this most serious state of affairs is the result of our government’s &onOmic and social policies on unemployment and inflation, policies which faii‘to give priority to the needs of the Canadian people .and which serve to make the rich, richer and the poor, poorer. Canadians are today facing the most severe unemployment crisis since the great depression of the 1930%. T!iis is the estimate of economists in government; trade unions and universities as they assess Canada’s economic position in the third winter of the trudeau administration. They estimate that one out of every IO workers in Canada’s labour force of 8,400,OOO is exIjected to be out of a job when winter unemployment is ,~t its peak. Vast numbers of men and women and their *families face a cruel and bitter struggle-for their.survival in the months ahead. IJnemployment has excluded from the main‘stream of s I,roductive and social life an increasing number of.men, women and youth. Physical hardships; frustration, feelings of hooelessness and of social tension h(‘rowing are shared by both the skilled and unskilled workers, the educated and the less-educated in our society. The hardest hit by unemployment are the blue collar workers-29 percent. They are over 25 years of age, married and. with children.

Quebec rate highest
l
In the depressed regions of canada the outlook for employment is especially gloomy. Quebec has the -higheSt unemployment, accounting for 41 percent of all jobless in Canada, In the atlantic provinces, unemployment is expected to reach 18 percent of the maritimes labor force. The facts indicate that the present way. of life for masses of Canadian working people is at, or below the poverty line. The economic council of canada says that four out of every 10 Canadian families are poor-that is, those who must spend 70 percent of their income for the basic needs of food, clothing and shelter. A nonfarm family of four is poor if they have to live on less than about 4,200 dollars a year. According to the available figures there are 1,380,OOO persons in canada living on less than one thousand dollars a year; 22 percent of Canadians live on less than 3,000 dollars. Over two-thirds of t)le labor force in canada receive less than 5,000 dollars a year. Since the figures of the fixed poverty line were I released .they have been severely eroded by the ’ monopolies and the government’s inflationary policies responsible for the rising cost of living. The economic council of canada findings show that there are as many as 6,500,OOO Canadians living below the level declared as the minimum for a decent standard of living. Half of montreal’s wage earners make less than 3,500 dollars a year. The number of people on welfare rolls are increasing drastically, and perpetuation of their plight is becoming a social blight. The Canadian government must create jobs as the first priority for the people. Poverty can’t be overcome without full employment. To meet the prioity needs of Canadians, the government must undertake a program to build 250,000 lowcost homes and expand hos.pital, educational and recreational facilities. Day care centers for children are an immediate necessity. Lack of housing is threatening the health and wellbeing of the people and engendering a spirit of hopelessness and despair. The Ontario housing corporation reports there are now over 22,000 applications for housing in metropolitan toronto alone. More than 4,000 metro toronto citizens are on the waiting list, most of them elderly. A countless number of homeless are flooding the hostels, seeking meals and sleeping on floors.
To effect a general war on poverty and to guarantee a decent standard of living for all canadians;employed or unemployed, a guaranteed annual income will be a stabilizing factor in family life Grid the security of the home. Such a move is regarded as essential and is recommended by the.senate committee on poverty and supported by the trade union movement. Increased pensions and family allowance, with a cost of living adjustment, are a necessity for people on fixed income. I Failure of the government to set a minimum wage that would sustain iricome on a higher level is victimizing the workers. A glance at a few of the statistics of wage levels in Canada reveals these facts: 92 percent of all employees in hotels earn less than $2.00 an hour and 74.5 percent of them earn less than $1.50 an hour. In the retail trade, two-thirds of all employees in rubber, footwear, cottonwear and cloth, woolen and knitting mills, clothing; retail trade, laundri& hotels and restaurants earn less than $2.00 an hour. The Canadian government needs to take heed of the recommendations of its economists and raise the minimum wage to $2.50 an hour.
Penalizes women Low minimum wages penalize women workers especially. The senate committee on poverty’s interim report states: “We studied the females who became heads of the family because of desertion, divorce, death and detention and these we called the ‘Four D’s.’ There are 160,000 of them ii canada with 350,000 dependents.” The income of these female heads of families is adversely affected by the present minimum wage levels, as women workers in their majority are employed in the IoEest paid sectors of our economy. In 1967 the average income of women who are sole supporters of families was 2,536 dollars while for men it was 5,821 dollars. It might also be noted that when the minimum wage was increased in Ontario, 90,000 workers got a wage increase.
I
Regional disparities For example, a welfare family of four in montreal receives $41.75 a month. In toronto the same family would receive up to $330. It is to be noted that there has been no increase in montreal welfare allowances since 1962, and during these eight years allowances have been cut at Least 20 percent due to the increased cost of living. Our public assistance program can best be described in terms of two self-perpetuating structures: first, the social service bureaucracy concerned . with its own survival and operating with machinery designed to act slowly, if at all. Second, the developnient of a subculture of poverty, increasingly dependent on welfare, and forced by necessity to adapt its life-style to the demand of the welfare system, producing an unhealthy overall environment for those in need.

3000 units in ten years In montreal, Canada’s largest city, only 3,000 public housing units have been built in 10 years, while more than 2OO~OOO people need new or improved low-cost housing. Mayor .drapeau’s plans for the Olympic games show deliberate preference for sporting facades at the expense of the montreal poor. Thirty percent of montreal slum-area dwellings have neither bath nor shower. It is no wonder that surveys indicate only a small minority of adult welfare recipients are healthy enough to work.
Instead of fulfilling the need to make participation a possibility for the Canadian people, our government instituted and perpetuates a public welfare system for those who are’ obliged to resort to some form of assistance for their survival...a welfare system which, instead of being dedicated to eradicating poverty,’ seems designed to perpetuate a standard of living below the poverty level for more and more Canadians. Two million of 0,ur people are living on some form of social assistance entirely dependent on the poverty levfl : which it is set. Health and welfare services are totally inadequate, and are pared to the provincial grant made by the federal government. This means that the poorer provinces have to give Aower benefits, not only because they do not have the funds, but because they have a greater number of people in need of relief.
