Students call for professor’s Students in the political science department have demanded the resignation of c.h. grant as undergraduate affairs officer for the department. The demand was made in a pamphlet circulated in political science classes thursday. The pamphlet, signed by students for a collective department, also called for acceptance of the political science union proposal which calls for the creation , of a studentfaculty collective. The pamphlet dealt specifically with the case of jim Campbell, a student in one of grant’s classes.
Come
According to the leaflet, grant has been demanding his students sign an attendance sheet which would later be used in evaluation. Campbell refused to sign the sheet and questioned the professor’s right to enforce such a rule. “Grant’s first response was to state that it was compulsory for every student to sign the attendance sheet.” Later he gave Campbell three choices, -leave the course, stay and not sign the sheet and suffer the ‘academic’ consequences or stay in the course and sign the sheet.

n&ore than twenty political science students, including unand graduate dergraduate students, met Wednesday afternoon to discuss the issue -and relate it to the larger question of the political science collective. The political science union this fall approved the notion of structure of the collective department. The PSU resolution was later taken to the undergraduate affairs committee, comprised of faculty and student members, where it was shelved by faculty members on the grounds that it. did not include graduate students and that it would merely consist of a student elite instead of a faculty elite. to the student According members of the undergraduate affairs committee, graduate students are prepared to support the collective idea. The pamphlet described the collective as being “responsible for making all the decisions regarding the department, such as the nature of course content, course structure and the hiring and firing of professors. “As well, professors would no longer be regarded as ‘teachers’ but as resource people,” it continued. Grant is described by the pamphlet as “one of the most authoritarian and bureaucratic porfessors in the department. “However, he is not alone. He

simply lacks the subtlety of other members of the faculty in exercising his control over the classroom.” The pamphlet says that grant, as undergraduate affairs officer, continues to exercise control over the academic lives of all undergradu,ate political science students. It then demands his resignation from this position. According to the leaflet “education should be a dynamic process. It should not be a one-way

street from the professor to the student, but should constitute a two-way flow of ideas. It should be creative and self-conscious. “But in most situations today it can only be described as oppressive. Students have neither control over the content of their courses, nor control over the way those courses are structured. Equally as important, students as ,a whole have almost no control over the hiring and firing of faculty members.”
starting
Out of a meeting that was held on Wednesday evening emerged the following tentative schedule of what will be happening with the food coop: The questionnaires, which can be picked up at the turnkeys desk in the campus centre are asked to be filled in by the interested people, and submitted by tuesday, december 7, to the turnkeys desk, or mailed to 4 dekay st, kitchener . From the needs indicated on the questionnaires a catalogue or price list will be drawn up. The catalogue will, be available by friday, december 10, from niki at the federation office, monday, Wednesday, friday from 2-4 pm, and tuesday, thursday lo-12 am. To obtain the eatalogue, the membership fee of a minimum of $10 per person needs to be deposited in order to generate some initial working capital. On the basis of the questionnaires the capital will be used to puchase the collective needs of the members. Although the structure of the co-op has not been determined or finalized, there is a core group of people actively working on obtaining a list of sources, organizing the distribution and accounting of an embryonic food co-op. Those interested in working on the various jobs that must be done should contact : niki-742-3883; brigitte-576-1494; al-576-4966.

toronto today.
A march on the toronto necropolis cemetary to commemorate the rebellion of 18371839 in upper and lower canada will take place in toronto tomorrow at 2 Pm. Under the banners of “revive the spirit of ‘37” and “In 1837 we fought british imperialism, in 1971 we must fight US imperialism,” the march will start at the northeast corner of college and university avenue and proceed to, the cemetary where wreaths will be laid at the graves of William lyon mackenzie, Samuel lount and peter matthews. Both lount and matthews were hanged by the then lieutenantgovernor of upper. canada, sir george arthur , despite petitions bearing some 39,000 signatures asking for mitigation of punishment. Mackenzie who lived to carry on the fight for two more years, managed with the help of sympathizers to escape across the border despite the general manhunt and the reward on his head. Arthur refused to give the bodies to their families, but had them buried in potters field, a place then reserved for beggars and thieves. Twenty-one years later their bodies were transferred to the

The movement which led to the rebellion came together after years of vigorous protests against the abuses of the colonial compact-land graft, political repression poverty and a lack of responsible government . It embraced local industrialists, small merchants, professionals,large sections of the poorer settlers, tradesmen and working people. The moderate wing, headed by marshal1 s. bidwell and dr. warren emphasized cabinet baldwin, responsibility, while the radical democratic wing, headed by dr. john rolph and w.1. mackenzie, moved as the struggle progressed to advocacy of independence. In 1828 the reform forces won a majority in the assembly of upper Canada,. but were ignored by the tory assembly. Under the existing system of colonial rule, the. election of a reform majority in the assembly did not entail a change in government. By branding the reformers as foreign agents who sought annexation with the states, the tory compact won the 1930 election and mackenzie, though he held his seat, was expelled from the assembly.
According to historian star&y ryerson, “no less than five times did the compact engineer his expulsion but his constituents invariably sent him back.” In 1834, mackenzie was elected mayor of toronto, a blow to the compact in what they regarded as their stronghold. In a general election the same year the reform forces once again secured a majority .
During the year of 1837, mackenzie and other radical leaders rode on horseback throughout upper canada, addressing meetings of townspeople, organizing local committees, and preparing for an armed rising. The march on toronto was planned for december 7.

Federation I am writing about the lead story, front and masthead in the page editorial november 26, 1971 issue (vol. 12, no. 32). Initially I intended to visit the office and discuss the issues with the kaufmans but I changed my mind and decided to let the chevron readers hear the story as well. The three articles make pointed attacks on the federation of students’ handling of the university act committee brief. My first question is “where were the kaufmans during the discussions of the committee ?” For the year and a half I sat on the committee, we (the students) continually discussed the items that they slam
has been -trying... us for not discussing. Failing to attend those boring meetings, did the kaufmans read the minutes of those boring meetings to find out that the students on the committee attended more meetings and raised more bitches about their inane act than any other member? Failing to attend those boring meetings or read those boring minutes, did they attempt to talk with any of the boring student members on the committee to find out exactly what the federation did do? The federation of students’ representatives attempted many times for a parity situation-we were squashed.
The students of the committee then, together with the faculty, attempted to get students and faculty to hold the majority of votes-we were squashed. The students, failing that, attempted to have the number of appointed reps cut down. We were successful in that we won in committee but were squashed in senate by needles, gellatly, petch and matthews. How long do you want us to go on before we accept the fact that the university is going to present the act they want? If you really understand tokenism, why didn’t you (kaufmans) accept the fact that the committee waas a monster-child of
tokenism? It seems to me that the only way in which this situation can be resolved is to get campus support for these issues. , Clouding the issues by blaming the federation for not doing things which it did attempt, is not going to get that support. My final question is “when is the chevron going to stop playing around with inaccuracies and start dealing with what the federation is really doing?”

do the students
.
Since dialogue is the basis of understanding and action, this piece is intended not as simply a reply to rick’s article, but as a clarification of my criticism of the federation and a prod to further drscussron of. the entire student power issue on this campus. Most of rick’s points are true, and well taken at this time. It is true that the federation-and rick page especially-has tried to do a lot for student power behind the scenes. The fact that they have been stopped in their efforts by a shrewd administration does not reflect on their attempts. But neither rick nor anyone else in the federation has tried to convey to the student body what is going on. For example (since we are the example rick uses), deanna and I have not been on this campus for a year and a half. When we came onto campus this fall, we were not made aware of the university act by any source on campus, the chevron rncl uded. In fact, if students on this campus were any less concerned with what’s being done to them, they would be dead. So, rick page has the rationale to fall back on that everyone is apathetic, so why try to be a leader? This is the rationalization of the entire “sandbox” program of page’s federation regime. (For ,those newcomers who might not
immediately grasp page’s complex political terminology, “sandbox” means that the federation should stay as much as possible out of student power struggles and simply provide escapist entertainment such as concerts and films.) But, U of W president burt matthews is using the same excuse-apathy-when he says he has the support of everyone on campus behind his wonderful university of Waterloo act. Matthews was able to tell that to his latest press conference, and he went ‘unchallenged. This is where the federation has failednot in trying to represent the students in all the committee meetings, but in failing to bring the issue to the students, failing to call matthews’ bluff on student apathy, failing to publicize what exactly has been happening to the students in these committee meetings. Not only did students not attend those “boring meetings”, as rick rightly points out, but they didn’t even know those meetnigs were going on for the most part. It is true that the president’s so-called “advisory council” was nothing more than a sham in order to claim students participation, but why then did not rick or someone else denounce it as such at the time, publicize the fact, get students angry at the situation? Rick states in his article that the only way in which the situation1 can now be resolved
is to get campus support for the issue. How does he expect to get student support for an issue no one knows anything about? And rick and matthews seem to be correct in their cynical view of students involvement here this year. The student body seems barely alive enough to carry out its daily bodily functions, much less rise up in protest for parity. But this is what the federation and the chevron and engsoc and dirtysock and every other organization on campus must do right now and do fast. All of these have failed up to now in any leadership role on this issue. Under the wording of the university of Waterloo act, the federation will be obsolete. The student representatives will not only be in ridiculously small numbers, but their election will be run by the administration. Matthews is on a determined campaign to destroy the federation, in fact any group which will give the students a united (i.e powerful) front. At his last press conference he hinted broadly that the campus center will soon be either taken away as a meeting place for students or severely curtailed in its hours and functions. His reason is that the building is not a meeting place for faculty and students, as it should be. He said that he noticed quite a few

know?
students in the center around noontime, but not very many at other times. Above and beyond the question of how often matthews visits the campus center is the fact that the reason faculty does not come to the campus center is the faculty club. Under questioning, matthews admitted that any criticism leveled at the campus center would apply to the faculty club, but continued to talk to the reporters about the campus center and not the faculty club. He made no secret of the fact that he is against a campus center type of building on campus. At any rate, the campus center is back in the hands of the administration, and the future of the hall as a meeting-place is in danger.’ Perhaps matthews should be invited to one of the films or concerts which fill the great hall periodically; not that it would change his mind. As to rick’s final question-in his article, we don’t know what inaccuracies he is referring to since he doesn’t specify, but I hope the chevron now joins with the federation and any other group or person on campus who cares about the erosion of student involvement since the days when the federation was formedand it looked as if the cause of student power was blossoming. As of now, it is wilting, and the students are just watching. george kaufamn

The december 6 municipal elections in Waterloo have elicited challenges of sorts only from those entering the aldermanic race for the first time-old aldermen never die, it seems, they just spend their time saying everything about nothing. The articles on these two pages-all written by chevron features writer una o’callaghan-may give a glimpse into the views and opinions of some of the candidates, and deal specifically with the nomination meeting held last thursday, november 25. Beginning immediately below and continuing across the bottom of these pages is a set of six candidates the chevron feels would make an interesting core for a new Waterloo city council. Remarks have been prepared from material they have distributed as well as from statements delivered during the course of the nomination meeting. Limited time prevented full-scale interviewing.-rats.
Carl Sulliman, assistant minister at emmanuel united church in Waterloo and a student at the university of Waterloo, is committed to restoring public confidencein electora I pol it its. “I beliey-e in electoral politics and I -believe the democratic process can be responsive to the needs of the community” he stated at thursday’s nomination L meeting. He added that members of council must seek citizen support and feedback especially when deciding major financial committments in ur,ban development and expansion. Sulliman also thinks it’s time to give more priority to public transportation. “This issue has not in the past had a high priority at city hall-it is time now that it did,” he said. On environmental restoration Sulliman feels that solutions must now be initiated and implementedfirstly on the local level. “We must guard our water and air with zeal, provide a sensible balance of parkland and recreational areas, _:and make optimum use of land fill sites in conjunction with re-cycling facilities, he said. Sulliman would also like to see more day care centers, and is concerned about the plight of senior citizens which he says, “must be provided with living accommodation which reflect the dignity and comfort best , suited to these long-standing members of our society.

l?adder,an X-ray technician in the Waterloo area for 16 years believes that an alderman is representative of the people and is a servant of the taxpayer. He gave three major factors which influenced his decision to run for council: 0 Present city council has been unable to enforce existing zoning bylaws and are ingoring citizens who come before council with complaints on zoning violations. 0 Lack of any communication between-council and the public as evidenced by the number of citizens groups which have been formed over the past two years. Citizens have had to hire lawyers to fight city hall. 0 The determination of the present city council to build high-speed routes through our residential areas just in order to bring more and more traffic into our downtown area. Roads which had served adequately for many years suddenly have to be- widened and curves straightened out. “Council says this is “I will always support progress,” he said thursday, progress but not the kind which will lead possibly to the destruction of our city.
[John Hendry, a sales representative in the Waterloo area believes there is no substitute for “sincerity, integrity and hard work.” He accused the present council of beiyg stagnant and apathetic and of taking the citizens of Waterloo for granted. “Long term service on council is not and must not become a free ticket for re-election”, he added.

He suggested that if every citizen attended a few council meetings there would be a lot of new a tdermen on december 7. Stating that Waterloo needs a rosenberg or shulman personality he said “I have respect for anybody who has a personat conviction and the courage to stand up for what he believes is right.” He asked the present council members what they had personally accomplished for the Waterloo public, and suggested-that if the citizens of Waterloo had to prepare a list of present councillors from memory, the list would be a rather short one. Hendry urged that the time had come for new ideas and new faces-hopefully his.

T
llt CLAIM BY candidates during the Lt,atclrloo nomination meeting last week th,lt city council is out of touch with the be dismissed as mere l)irblic catinot l)oliticaI rhetoric. I igures from the 1969 municipal olc~ctions show that only 33 percent of \~,aterloo’s eligible voters turned out to the I)olls--that is 6,093 out of 18,173. I he Ijroblem could best be summed up <ISa ( ombination of apathy and ignorance. I he ignorance is a result of council’s Inabitity and reluctance to communicate with the public and the apathy, of course, iiClturally follows. IJnbeIievabIe as it may sound many ~)t~ople in the waterloo area are not aware of their voting rights, and those that are Il,~ve little opportunity to meet the canclidates to discuss issues. I hat the municipal government is failing to keep the public informed on issues goes without saying, but where are Waterloo’s organired groups? Surely they should provide a forum for the candidates, many of whom are anxious to bring the issues to public attention. As things stand now candidates have to c rlnvass individual homes in order to get their views across to the public, with the rtlsult that public debate of the issues is ,tlmost im~,ossible. I he fact that council is aware of the i,roblem but has done little to alleviate it c.reedence to richard lloyd’s gives 4~tlt~~nlt~nt that “council feels that citizens just gcjt in the way of decision making”.
Aiter the 1969 elections mayor meston Itlmented the poor turnout at the polls and I,romised to establish a Waterloo intormation booth, plus a weekly or monthly ntbwslettcr to bring about public interest in nlunicipal affairs. To date, these promises IltlvcJ not been fulfilled. Ilicl word is now coming in from can(lidates that- people in low-income and high-rise areas in Waterloo believe that only ratepayers are eligible to vote. This kind of myth is reinforced by city hall which labelled last week’s nomination tiltleting a “ratepayer’s” meeting, when in 1,1ct it was a public meeting. One way to force city hall to become CtwClre of the public is through public nlclcltings especially at election time when new candidates want to air their views. I’clrhaps this is where the universities c ould perform a public service. They have I he facilities and the brain-power to make \uch Ijublic meetings worthwhile. We’ve always been toid that the new humanities theater at the university of waterloo was built with the needs of the (ommunity in mind. A public meeting of all candidates in these plush surioundings would have done much’ to bring the community and the university population together, and would no doubt be an tbclucation experience for all concerned.

Douglas McDowell, a lawyer in the Waterloo area is concerned about neighborhoods. His campaign slogan IS “neighborhoods are for people.” “Everyone lives in a neighborhood. This is where municipal government begins and has its greatest Impact. This is where we and our children find our destiny and our sense of belonging,” he stated. McDowell is alarmed that neighborhoods are becoming too much a place where we eat and sleep only. “Neighborhoods should be people-oriented not developer-oriented, he added.

MONTREAL (CUP&-At a rally held in the paul sauve arena last week -confederation of national trade unions (CNTU) president marcel pepin announced to a crowd of over 4,090 that the first general strike in quebec’s history would occur soon. Of the 14,000 union members consulted so far, 95 per cent have been in favor of the general strike. Polling will be completed soon when plans will be announced at a press conference. “It has never happened yet in quebec, but there must always be a first...we have the heart to fight for all workers,” said pepin. The rally was called by the common front of the CNTU to announce plans for the general strike and to gain the support of the rank and file members of the’ CNTU for its new labor demands. Michel chartrand, president of the CNTU’s montreal central council, began the rally with a moment of silence to commemorate michelle gauthier who died in a violent la presse demonstration on October 29, and also the workers of the world who have died fighting capitalist oppression. “We aren’t afraid and we’re not in a hurry because we’re together,” said chartrand. “We will fight to the end not only for higher wages and better working conditions, but also for human dignity. We want a revolution. “The common front will give the workers the necessary force to combat the divisive measures of the quebec government,“he continued. For many years, the different locals presented separate demands. One of the measures which premier robert bourassa uses to stifle the growing demand by quebec workers for higher wages and better conditions is to threaten the citizens with higher taxes. Chartrand noted that if the

government stopped the daily flow of capital into the hands of foreign investors, then the citizens already burdened with high taxes would be among the first to benefit. The common front demands equal work and a minimum wage of 100 dollars per week, to increase by eight per cent annually. The unions also demand fringe benefits including four weeks of paid holiday each year, with an additional 200 dollars bonus so that the worker can enjoy his holiday. Other non-monetary demands include sixteen statutory holidays throughout the year, one and a quarter days per month sick leave with full pay, and maternity leave for women. Other speakers at the rally included francine lalonde of the quebec teachers corporation, which yesterday renounced its affiliation with the common front on the’ grounds that it was no longer a ~ traditional union movement. The common front agreed. She asked that the members of the QTC unite again with the front to fight for a “different quebec”. Norbert rodrigue, a representative of the hospital workers’ local of the CNTU, urged all union members to back the union demands. He criticised the quebec government for promising wage parity for men and women in 1968 and then postponing it until 1974. The government had tried to buy the hospital workers off by offering them a ridiculous wage increase of 2.5 per cent, he said. The workers of the common front are presently supporting the struggle of the locked-out la presse workers who are engaged in a fivemonth dispute. There is no solution in sight but the workers say they are looking to the CNTU’s common front to support the basic rights of workers which the governmen ignores.

- The announcement, leaked in advance to the toronto star, was made at a press conference novem ber 23. Evans was chosen by a 14member search committee composed of two undergrads, one grad student, three faculty, two administrators, two alumni, three members of the board of governors, and the chancellor. The committee began deliberations last february, and submitted evans’ name to the board of governors about two months ago, There was opposition to evans selection among certain faculty members of the presidential search committee, according to sources close to the committee. These members had reservations about evans because of his inexperience in dealing with general university matters, according to the sources. I Commenting on the long delay between the time the search committee first considered evans and the announcement of his appointment, board of governors chairman William harris said: “A person doesn’t rush into a job at U of T.” Evans seemed completely lost when asked to comment about major problems facing U of T. He had nothing to say about university expansion or parity, both major issues confronting U of T in the past and bound to resurface
Evans said an attempt “to get some sense of priorities” would be his major preoccupation in preparing for his new job. “It will require a good deal of study.” Evans waffled when asked. what his position was on giving Canadians preferential treatment in university appointments. He said every possible opportunity should’ be given to Canadians, but voiced opposition to any rules which would exclude nonCanadians. “I don’t think there should be any rigid barriers against anyone,” he said. Evans did concede however, that preference should be given to “qualified” people, including those versed in Canadian Culture. The youngest president to assume office at U of T, Evans returns to his alma mater from a triumphant six years building up mcmaster university’s division of health sciences. Evans has been described by faculty and students on the search committee as a liberal who is favorable to students. However, a former colleague has labelled him a “tough” administrator with “just the right amount of stubborne& and a touch of rigidity.” His administrative experience is quite short though, giving rise to fears by some simcoe hall personnel that he will not be able to handle the complex problems that beseige U of T. Evans fulfills an unwritten rule of U of T presidents: he is a graduate who did his initial work as ‘an assistant professor here, before being shipped off to the “colonies” for administrative experience.

_ SKI SALE MONTREAL (CUPI)-The renewal committee of mcgill’s sociology department decided last night to grant marlene dixon a new three-year contract. There is speculation that this sudden change of heart was prompted by the university administration in order to avoid campus unrest. The department apparently had realized that it failed in its attempt
Mcgilll prof outhes “right to dissent”’ “The political issues that have been before the sociology department transcend any individual case and have importance far beyond mcgill university: ’ said mcgill professor marlene dixon after a recent ‘move for her dismissal. “It has already been clear to me”, she said, “that the sociology department would have fired me ir the first hour of their first meeting had it not ‘been for a strong and principled opposition. “People joined the struggle in an attempt to fight for a principle: to keep dissent and liberty of action alive for as long as possible in the universities. We have enjoyed a surprise-a victory. Yet this small victory should not mislead us. This is still the university that fired Stanley gray . This is still the ,department that tried to rid itself of activism. The battle for the right to dissent and action in this society is never won. It -must be fought L every day and in every case, time and time again.”
to disguise the political motives behind dixon’s possible dismissal. Just a week ago, the committee levelled charges of academic incompetence against dixon, a well known women’s liberationist and political activist. But from the beginning, the political nature of the attempted firing was a much debated issue in the mcgill university community. The claims that dixon’s classes “harangues” and that were marking was “arbitrary and biased” were destroyed by several petitions from both graduate and undergraduate students. The charge that dixon’s published work was “lacking and insignificant” fell through when eleven leading sociologists from outside the university wrote letters to the committee verifying her academic abilities. The procedures used against dixon were dramatically exposed as farcical when two outside tabservers attended a committee meeting. One observer, jean-guy vaillancourt, a member of the ethics committee of the Canadian sociological association, warned that this political “hatchet job”, as he called it, would not go unpunished. ., All this adverse publicity made it clear to the committee that they had executed a messy job, and they were hesitant to move in for the kill. The decisive factor behind the sudden switch in sentiment, however, could have been a nervous administration. Undoubtedly the administration
has watched the dixon case anxiously, fearing that the violence that erupted on other campuses where political firings might come to were exposed, mcgill. Another worry possibly plaguing the administration, given mcgill’s tenuous position in quebec, is the threat that the dixon case could spread into the french community. Vaillancourt, a dixon supporter, is a sociology professor at the universite de montreal. Dixon herself has been active in quebec politics and has taken a strong proquebec stance. Regardless of whether ore not the administration had a hand in changing the department’s mind, the political manoueverings inside the sociology department have just begun to surface at mcgill. ca,,adia,,

The Christmas break is almost upon us, causing in some, reflections of months gone past. For a first year student, or as we are known in mathmatical circles, the 1A co-op compusci’s mixed A mathie enters uniwat with the naive impression that if he wants to study math, Waterloo is the place (after all, ask any high-school counsellor what uniwat is famous for...1 did). It is therefore surprising for him to find that first year mathies must endure an algebra cause which (in most cases) cannot be justified as relevant: a calculus course, it seems, with its main purpose being to separate “the men from the boys”--computer science course which seems strangely inferior to its counterparts at the universities of toronto and western Ontario. To me, math 132 (computer science) was the biggest disappointment as I had planned to specialize in this area, make lots of money, and be happyfortherestofmylife). However, it seems that such naive plans as mine were not fated to be.

Fortune and Men’s Eyes . As boys many of us are taught to fear homosexuality as much as girls are taught to fear rape. The obvious thing about this, usually missed, is that both little boys and little girls fear men. Young men are raped too, if not in the parks and gang-bangs, then in the gaols in o canada. Fortune and men’s eyes is the first film I’ve seen that starts to hit below the belt, hit the male ego that is. And because it put knots, yeh laingian ones, in my solar plexus, and I wonder what it did to other men and women, and to those out on a date, I have to “review” it. The film takes place in a quebec gaol. It is a “true story” in the sense that the writer, john herbert, was himself raped in a Canadian jail. It is not a true story, in the sense .of poorly representing what it is like to be in jail, but emphasis (sensationalism, doesn’t really apply to this film, except in a few scenes) is a speciality in the filmmaking industry. Films on gaols, schools, families, etc. are typically more realistic than those on industry, including the film industry, I might add, just to point out that there is an ideological struggle going on through films.
Penal system
its gaols, into the dramatization of homosexuality. The second “plot” barely got off the ground. What of love, including sexual love, between two men?What of it? The film hinted at the possibility, as something that was of a different order than the powertripping, putdownish homosexuality of the movie. But only hinted. And this seems realistic, for the gaols. But what of the “outside world”? We rarely confront this “out here” because we can evade it. In the jails, with orgastic tension building up, no privacy, no chance of free-flowing sexual love, homosexuality becomes, for many, a necessity. But what about out here? -_ -_- -Smith (w&dell burton) and mona (danny freedman), the two, shorter and younger males in a cell with mother, and rocky (zooey hall&who became smith’s old man-almost made it. They almost got their mind and bodies together, saw each others needs, through each other’s eyes, and overcame the power tripping sexism. The reality of the penal-system stopped it, as it does in reality.

But the film didn’t go far enough to avoid being stereotyped as There are two “plots” as I see solely a problem in the gaols. It (saw) it. One has to’do with getting appealed to the fears of men in this the reality of homosexuality across society, the fears of being touched, to us, making homosexual adapeven loved by another man.

Mother homosexuality is illegal and (played by michael greer) is an lesbianism isn’t. Why is it that amazing person, though we find as men dig seeing women making the movie ends that “she” isn’t at love, in pornographic-consumption all what he appears to be. It’s too movies and books, but do not dig bad the film couldn’t have gotten seeing each other fuck.

Pri.ncipal j.b. finlay spoke sweetly of the graduating students; dr. brute halliday gave some baconian advice, and former principal e. ferguson provided a little humor while handing out further prizes. Nothing seemed to be out of place. By the time the valedictory address came around most of the audience were contemplating the journey home and their applause-raw hands. But valedictorian nelson had a surprise of his own when he benan to read the address he had prepared :
I
I’S AN OLL1 CLICHE but it is a fact th,lt the truth often hurts, and though I think wt’ <ire all aware of the sad state of our SChool, mclny are unprepared to have things out in the open. I think it’s time ~omt~bocly told things the way they are. 1’111 here tonight to say good-bye, but I)thtorcl I go I want to say the things that Il,lvtl gone unspoken for the last five ~~c1,lr\. Now is the time when we can get our tcleIing:s off our chests and not fear t 11th oxpu Isions, failures, or humi I iations \\,hic.h 40 often in the past have been (IVYI to Ijunish us for acting in a human \I dy in dn inhuman system. Alter iive years of listening to other I)cloI>1cl who often failed to attain our I’CYIXY~ or goodwill because they were ttlally Iclss interested in having students Itl,jrn than in having us perform en masse c14the structure of the system demanded, ,It tar tive years of being cooped up and torte-fed information in which we found little interest, and which we would soon lorget (inyway, we are finally free to \I,eak our minds and tell you what we Iltlve thought and what you know we h,lve thought and what many students of the Ijast have thought about school why they were here. ( Il I reactions to our educational ~~nvironment were more emotional than r,ltionaI. This is the way people are, and nchen we .*‘ere forced to cope with the inherent contradictions any reactions to 4chool were bound to turn naturally from c ritical clnalysis and suggestive reform to t rustration and bottled-up anger, which Iet itself out in what to many appeared to (IS (lisruptive and immature behaviour on our part. Hut if we behaved immaturely it is my opinion that teachers and adn$nistrators did so too. In their efforts to tlchieve uniformity and conformity in tlefense of’ the system, they created ioolish rules and showed very shallow ,lnd thoughtless attitudes in their treatment of fellow human beings. If we then the educational (lisrupted classes, system by its very nature served to (lisrupt our personal _ pursuit of knowledge.
\toc k of Iearning in histcry or geography lj,Ilic-h can be considered the absolute I~rerequisite of an educated man. We rilust give up the idea that a man’s l\noM/Iedge can be tested or measured in ,lny torn1 whatsoever. The purpose of I\nowIeclge wil I remain a pleasure instead oi becoming a torture only if the spirit, l)ody Clnd mind are left unhindered. Once the diploma and the marks are abolished or treated for what they are worth, the I,ursuit of knowledge becomes positive ,lncl the need for a structure of entorcement vanishes. The pursuit of knowleclge shou Id be nobody else’s I,usincss but one’s own. Our school, however, is not governed tjy these precepts and the result is painiu lly obvious. I he modern high school is more of a nltldhouse than a center for learning. The I,qhaviour of anyone in this environment, including students, teachers, and adnlinistrators is aggressive, thoughtless, ,Intl in general degrading to most real human values. Perhaps this is because our behaviour in school arises out of frustrations partly caused by what I see two fundarnentat contradictions, tlS inseperable from the system, which necessitate that it will be a failure from the start. First, the average student in high school hates it but he has been coerced into going by law in a direct fashion, and more subtly by society’s misguided conception that gettin.g an eductaion is responsible for a person’s success and happiness in the future. We’ve all been (onvinced that it’s a necessity but the whole idea seems to me to be based on a false premise. In fact 5ociety at large is governed by the same false premise that Cl high school education can prepare you ior something. I don’t think it can. The idea that it can serves only to justify an otherwise unjustifiable education. At any rate a student’s behavior and by t-saction a teat her’s, is based on the trustrations born in a student’s mind &ho on one hand hates school and on the other feels that it is necessary to go.
No such thing .
No learning experience
I here are no such things as comI)ulsory subjects, no books that one must read. The school seems to go on the (foolish idea that it can teach a minimum

by stephen
nelson,
It
is well known that modern ~~clucation and the modern school system in general tends to encourage scholarship at the expense of discernmclnt and look upon the cramming of information as an end in itself, as if a great amount of scholarship could make But why is free (In educated man. thought discouraged at school? Why has the educational system twisted and tlistortecl the pleasant pursuit of knowledge into a mechanical, measured, uniform and passive cramming of intormation! Why do we place more c1mI)hasis on knowledge than on thought! Why are there schpol marks and (liplomas and how did it come about that the mark and the diploma have in the student’s mind come to take the place of the true aim of education? -1he reason is simple. We have this system because we are c~clucating people in masses, as if in a t actory - as if for a factoryand ,Inything which happens inside a factory must go by a dead and mechanical system. In order to protect its name and standardize its products a school must certify them with diplomas. With (liplomas then comes the necessity of grading and with the necessity of grading comes school marks, and in order to have +chool marks there must be recitations, tlxaminations, and tests. The whole ‘thing torms an entirely logical sequence and there is no excape from it. But the of having mechanical consequences clxaminations and tests are more fatal than we imagine. For it immediately throws the‘ emphasis on the memorization of facts.
Force-feeding the masses For the student *it seems getting an education in our society has become a necessity but it has become a bitter pill to have to swallow. The teachers do their best to see that we take our medicine and the student reacts in a very predictable way to being force-fed: we react with rebel I iousness, bitterness and hard ieelings, and as Jong as students must be forced to learn students will act in that manner. There is no way students and teachers in oursystem can abandon-their roles and meet one another on equal tort,>c ILllllJ. We will be at each other’s throats and the system, though it may in the surface to run correctly, will always appear betray its ridiculous and contrary nature through the reactions of students to it. I he fact is this system of education is nlalfunctioning. Despite all the rules to enforce proper behavior students will always treat with disrespect a system which, through its fundai-nental contradictions, deserves none.

lor the past five years we had to go to school but we didn’t want to. We were supposed to learn but had no real opIjortunity to do so. We haven’t been treated justly and we haven’t treated the 5ysteni justly. We-cheated on your tests, we called you names behi?d your back, we disrupted your classes, we threw rubbers, Ijaper airplanes and shot spit balls in an effort to pass the wasted time, we told jokes and talked wh.en we weren’t supposed to, we laughed at you, skipped your classes, skipped whole days . of school, copied assignments, came in late, got expedlled, got detentions, got spares taken away, got shoved around, yesllecl at, humiliated, kicked out of classes, flunked out of subjects and (lropped out of school.
Thumbing to london We spent beautiful days sweating in school and being bored to tears, and when we got the chance we spent beautiful days golfing, fishing, thumbing to london, just taking it easy, or going to out-of-town footbal I games. We obeyed 1-uIes we knew were foolish when we thought you were looking and broke them when we thought we could get <iway with it. We reacted to a ridiculous and unpleasant situation by avoiding it when we could, and our behavior as well <ISthat of the teachers and administrators in their efforts to make us conform to the system’s demands both serve to show the hopelessness of things as they stand. If people can’t treat each other like people within this artificial structure then the system is inhuman and unworkable. _ I he most positive results of the last five years have been the wonderful friendships we’ve all had, our well-known wild parties and all the laughs we had together, most of which were at the clxpense of the school. ’ Few students can say they liked the school while they were there; some have shorter memories. All I can say in conclusion is that we have been through the biggest farce of our lives and I can say good-bye now with only two regrets: one, that a lot more kids will go through what we did before things are changed; and two, that some of our friends-for better or for worse - didn’t get a diploma tonight.” am.

Anyone going to toronto should make an effort to see the toronto workshop production of bertolt brecht’s The Resistible Rise of Arturo’ Ui. Brecht lovers may not be familiar with this play which satirizes the rise of hitler in the setting of gangsterland Chicago of the 1930’s. In any event it is certainly worth more recognition. The script is cunning and ruthless. Brecht has spared little in exposing hitler (Chicago gangster ui) to sever ridicule. As brecht noted in regard to the play, “the failure of hitler’s enterprises is as little proof of his idiocy as their scope is of his greatness. The ruling classes of a modern society are in the habit of enlisting rather mediocre people for their enterprises (nixon? >.. . .the small-time bum who has been allowed by our rulers to become a big-time bum deserves no place of honour in the annals either of bumming or of history.” The characters in the play, as chicago hoods, bear obvious similarity to the historical figures prominent during hitler’s rise to power. Other than ui brecht has portrayed roma as roehm, s.a. chief until his murder in 1934 at hitler’s request; givola as goebbels, giri as goering, hindborough as von hindenburg and dullfeet as dollfuss, the austrian chancellor and foreign minister assainated on hitler’s orders in 1934.

Mexican Ballet
The ballet aztlan staged an exuberant two-hour performance of mexican song and folk dance in the humanities theatre sunday night, This company, mostly native mexicans, has toured much of north america and europe and their one-night stand here at Waterloo was completely sold out. show presented a The representative cross-section of native mexican dances,, performed in the traditional costumes and accompanied by native mexican instruments. The costumes were incredibly colourful, the music was fast and breezy, and most of the dances were wildly exuberant. The dancers appeared to be enjoying themselves as much as the audience. ‘Tarascan wedding’, the opening number, was full of gaiety and were merriment . The dancers eleven men in white with red sashes and nine girls in long blue and yellow skirts. They whirled through a wedding dance, part of which was a version of the wellknown hat dance. This piece ended on a humerous note. A group of old men with canes danced with one of the girls and fell all over the stage. The next three dances were all on a more serious note. The ‘dance of the turtle’ was a slower-moving <piece of religious-pagan symbolism. The ‘dance of the feather’ represented a dream the emperor montezuma ilhuicamina once had, in which he was a great bird warning of a coming invasion. The dancers were nine men in gloriously coloured robes and huge headdresses, strutting around the stage to the beat of martial music.

direction, succeed in taking over the waterfront cabbage market after burning down the warehouse and eliminating all opposition. The action follows, with the degree of accuracy permitted by satire, ui’s ‘resistible’ rise to power. Of course, Brecht has.. grotesquely distorted reality to force the audience’s reaction. Under the imaginative direction of george luscombe, the toronto workshop produced arturo ui in fine brechtian style. The stage design, with deliberate exposure of backstage proceedings, inhibited audience, identification with the characters and rather confronted them with the essential reality of the play. Costumes, lighting and sound all supported this purpose. On the whole the acting was reasonably well done, although some of the minor characters lacked vigour. Laurels go to ray Whelan in a fine performance as ui, and to barry wasman as giriand the actor. Francois klanfer, who served in a variety of roles, deserves mention as does michael marshal1 (former uniwat drama student) for his portrayal of hind borough. The toronto workshop theatre is located at 12 alexander in downtown toronto. Student prices are available except on Saturday nights. The play closes december 5.
I found this piece to be one of the most effective of the evening. Another slower dance featured girls carrying baskets of flowers on their heads, swaying to a graceful tune. Next came the ‘dance of the deer’, in which six men clad only in loincloths leapt about the stage. One wore a deer’s head as a headdress, another was a hunter, and the others played something like the role of a chorus in an ancient greek drama. They chanted solemnly as the hunter shot the deer and it died thrashing about in agony. This dance is a centuries-old mexican morality play of the triumph of good over evil. After the intermission, 10s texmex, billed as .one of mexico’s most popular comedy trios, came on with a music and comedy routine. This was the only part of the show that began to drag a little. The xochipitzahuatl, the ‘little flower dance’ which originated with the aztec culture, was a beautiful piece. In this a man held a basket of flowers on a Role above his head and eight girls wearing blue and pink silk entwined long garlands of flowers about it in a pattern reminiscent of the maypole dance. The last dance, ‘fiesta in veracruz’, was a fast, heelstomping piece performed by men in white suits and girls in long lacy white dresses. One couple laid a scarf on the floor and proceeded to tie it in a bow with their feet while dancing. All too soon, the curtain came down on this colourful performance. -irene

ZOO Motels is, on the one hand, a surrealistic account of the life of The Mothers of Invention; on the other <hand, it is a piece of frank zappa’s mind. And frank zappa’s mind has been in very strange places. On the other hand, very strange places have been in frank zappa’s mind. 200 Motels is not a hotly flashing, rave-up rock concert masquerading as a documentary. It is, to some extent, a documentary masquerading as a hotly flashing, rave-up ‘rock concert. But the audience wasn’t fooled. The youthful longhair in front of me said ‘Fiddlesticks, this is a lot of bird poo,’ and popped something (seconal?) into his yawning mouth. So 200 Motels won’t make you want to eat a lot of popcorn. Nor will it make you want to play with yourself, despite several minutes of full-frontal nudity. What will it do, daddy? 200 Motels might make you want to : Take your clothes off when you dance. Say hello to your friendly neighborhood exhibitionist the next time he has an opening. Make love passionately to whatever you normally , love offhandedly . * 200 Motels is, in a word, “healthy”, if this includes deja vuing childhood fetishes and
realizing how they have been sublimated into your contemporary (con + temporary) personality. Or, why are germ warfare researchers secret nosepickers? Hi boys and girls, I’m jimmy car1 black, the indian of the group. After seeing 200 Motels, you will leave the theater feeling something. What you will feel is both irrelevant and probably highly disgusting. I felt purged. I feel purged whenever I see my shrink, and whenever I barf.

There are several tz2ious stretches when it seems that zappa is trying to recreate A Hard Day’s Night in drag-lots of, uhm, really horsing around-but triPPY something always turns up, or on, or oyer, eventually, including a good deal of mdther’s music, aid a fantastic cartoon sequence which, as they say, “is alone worth the price of admission”. I mean it really is pretty neat. 200 Motels is also for people who like to fart in the bath tub. In fact, there’s something in it for every minority group, and if I were really as pretentious as I pretend
to be, I would describe 200 Motels as a festering feast of pastel-pretty perversions. On the other hand, that’s exactly what it is. Do you think that I creep in the night, and sleep in a phone booth? Wouldn’t blame you. 200 Motels is about keith moon in nun’s habit, ringo Starr in frank zappa (the role of), and lucy offeral1 in hardly anything whatsoever. 200 Motels is the product of a life long obsession with suzy creamcheese-it may even -be her con; science calling her. 200 Motels is what happens when frank zappa is allowed to play with six hundred thousand dollars. Coming down for a moment, 200 Motels was shot in a color-to-videotape process which permits the superimposition of images and the holding of what would normally be a “dissolve” for any length of time desired. The results are stunning, and if you get off visually, the most profoundly “psychedelic” since.. . .Hieronymus Bosch? You’re probably wondering why I’m here.

Interest in the white southern contribution to rock’n’roll seems to be increasing, and if this results in albums of the quality of Link Wray (Polydor 2425 067), it can only be a good thing. Two friends have commented (independently) that old “Link Wray and the Raymen” singles are the pride of their 45 collections, and I can now appreciate their enthusiasm-this is one of the best releases of recent months. Presented here is an acoustic, country-flavored brand of music which may at first seem somewhat anemic, especially in comparison to such down-home heavies as the Allman Brothers. This approach, however, is perfect for wray’s material-blaes, folk songs, and original spirituals-and also suited to his voice, which is a bit on the thin side and would be strained if wray ever adopted the role of the rhythm and blues “shouter”. Supported by a small and similarly unamplified band, wray sounds right at home with mournful ballads such as “Fallin’ Rain”; an indication that sweet baby whatever-his-name-is had better watch out, and with Willie dixon’s classic “Tail Dragger”, performed in a restrained jump tempo which nicely conveys its low-key carnality. “Take Me Home Jesus” is a simple, unaffected spiritual, and a positively refreshing throwback to preJ.C.Superstar days. Except for “Tail Dragger”, all of the material was composed by either wray or percussionist Steve verroca, and as a consequence there is an authoratative feel to the album which few first releases achieve. Link -wray and friends have been living this music for many years now, and to use an overworked phrase, they have really got their thing together.

Dave van ronk has also been around for a long time, but his thing is in somewhat sorrier shape. Van Ronk (Polydor 2425 048) is a highly mixed bag of songs given performances ranging from pretty good to terrible, and indicates that someone is going to have to impose a greater degree of stylistic coherence upon him in the future.

Van ronk possesses a deep, raspy, forboding voice which is not at all suitable for the subtle lyrics of a leonard Cohen or a joni mitchell, and his renditions of “Bird on the Wire” and “Urge for Going” are simply embarassing. “I Think It’s Going to Rain Today” fares a little better, but only in comparison to randy newman’s vocal: I can think of at least fifty other people I’d rather hear perform it, and that includes my tone-deaf old lady in the shower. Fortunately, however, peter stampfel, of Holy Modal Rounders fame (you may remember their
Pizza
“Bird Song” from the Easy Rider soundtrack), has contributed two examples of his particular brand of nonsense : “Fat Old John” and “Random Canyon” are humorous exercises in hillbilly psychedelia, slight but rather enjoyable. Van ronk also does a very powerful version of the brecht-bentley “Legend of the Dead Soldier”, for which his voice is quite appropriate; an album of kurt weill material might, in fact, provide just that unified artistic vision so noticeably absent on Van Ronk. The album isn’t particularly well produced-strings and things keep getting in the way-and I’d much rather have heard just van ronk’s old “Hudson Dusters”. If you’ve never heard van ronk before, careful listening is recommended: I can imagine warming up to several individual cuts, but I doubt that I’ll ever listen to the entire LP straight through. Unjustly neglected dept. : While browsing in the discount bins of my local vinyl vendor I came upon a copy of Jesse Davis (Atco SD 33346) and, remembering that he was Taj Mahal’s lead guitarist, decided to take a chance. Damn good thing too, because this is one superstar aggregation (How do eric clapton, . leon russell, and merry clayton grab you?) which doesn’t degenerate into “can you top this?” jamming ; as the producer-arranger of this mellow bash, jesse davis proves that his organizational abilities are on a par with his musicianship.
Most of the songs are his, and they are all superior except for “Golden Sun Goddess”, which is a masterpiece : “Good Vibrations” country and western style. Throw in a version of van morrison’s “Crazy Love” which cuts the original and we have a ridiculously fine album, a bargain at full price and a steal at anything less. Get it while you can. paul stuewe

Chauvinism by any other n Congratulations are due to the three women who took the ‘opportunity’ to expose Irving Layton for the misogynist he is. I must admit that on skim-reading a volume of Layton’s latest I felt a little queasy about a number of the he coined-more metaphors because they were shitty in their way of dealing with both men and women than simply because they ‘objectified’ women. I can, however, see the reason for the substance of what you wrote. Unhappily there is a certain unfortunate tenor which colours your entire piece, turning it from a potentially useful insight into a blatant submission to stereotyped thinking. Imagine three males coming together to review the reading of a fictive female poet, ‘perhaps that of Wilhelomena Layton, who engages some poor and degrading metaphors in relation to men. Phantasize further as to what would happen if, after ‘exposing’ phrases such as ‘studs whose balls clap together like thunder’, these same males went on to suggest that
Wilhelomena is suited to the part of poet in residence for arts women. Why there’d be a hue and cry, wouldn’t there. You single Layton out as ‘unable to transcend the socialization process’ and then move right on to show that you resemble him entirely. His lack of sensitivity to women is paralleled by yours towards engineering males-not only does it render them uniformly chauvinistic in its inference (a blatant falsification and injustice) but further indicates an unwillingness on your part to attempt to understand and transform the conditions under which those males experience the world. importantly, More WhY engineers instead of arts, science, math, staff administrative or professorial men-are we to assume that they have transcended their socialization so completely ? Better yet, why simply identify this commonality of purpose between Layton and men-are the women who attended the reading, of university females in general so completely robot or
atom-like that they aren’t at all responsible for the reinforcement of stereotypes. Either you wish to create an understanding which enables all people, regardless of genitals, to overcome their oppression or you wish to declare war amongst these people. If the former is in fact the case, it would be far more fruitful1 to direct yourselves towards integrating the circumstances of the male’s conditioning and aliena’tion into your movement (which would entail involving yourselves with all kinds of campus men and not simply with women); If the latter obtains, then forget the cap-inhand, you master-oppressorsshould-understand-this approach and set out the lines of battle.

CPR rides free on taxpayer’s Bight of Way, by Robert Chodos, Published by the I United Transportation Union, 99 pages
l
In the Last Post magazine recently, robert chodos reviewed piere berton’s books the national dream and the last spike, which are histories of the building of the canakian pacific railway. Chodos commented that berton was writing myth instead of history, and hoped that Canadians did not use the CPR as a model for berton’s proposed program to “regain this country for the use and benefit of Canadians.” Chodos briefly explains why in the Last Post, and more explicitly in his new book, right of way. To chodos, thk national
dream is a dream gone sour. The owners of the CPR were given 25 million dollars and 25 million acres of land “fairly fit for settlement” by the Canadian government to build the railroad, which they would own on completion. Among other gifts and concessions the CPR is granted tax exemptions on all its stations, shops, buildings, etc. This means that the taxpaying public is subsidizing Canadian pacific by free upkeep and services to its property, which ordinary citizens do not get. In white niggers of america, piere vallieres relates how his father had to work long hours for low wages at CPR’s angus shops in east montreal. The fact that he probably had to pay more taxes on his tarpaper shack than CPR did on its huge maintenance shops where he worked is ludicrous. But in canada, it seems, truth can be more ludicrous than the wildest diction. It may be instructive to look at the past, but doubly so to put
CPR’s present screwing of the public in its proper cpntext. CPR has terminated most of its passenger rtuls, and Canadian national to its discredit, is trying to follow suit. Both use the same tactics. Conveniences are eliminated, as are necessities like dining and sleeping cars on transcontinental trains.Passenger stations are allowed to become filthy and dank, or are moved to almost inaccessable locations. The trains become agonizingly slow, and are scheduled so that connections cannot possibly be made to other trains dr means of transport. Sound familiar? It is a deliberate policy to discourage people from riding on trains, so that CPR can display a large loss of money, and wriggle out of its contrast to operate passenger trains in perpetuity. If you ride the train in 1971, you may never want to again. They used to be quite fast and comfortable, and are now slow and foul. It was planned that way. The situation would not be SO serious if automobiles were not
back
destroying cities pith their smog, congestion and concrete. Airplanes similafy pollute, are noisy, and waste valuable land. Both forms of transport are out of reach for people with low incomes, and we are now in an age when fast, cheap mass transit systems are desperately needed. Numerous ’ independent studies show that a revival of efficient passenger train service in north america is the only . solution to the problem. In Right Of Way chodos makes some proposals for the present and future that are even more interesting than his analysis of the past. People, and planners especially, unburden thyselves of thy myths ! Right Of Way is concise, readable and well worth the price. For some reason, the only place you e3n get it in water100 is the book barn. Hopefully, despite the illogic of governments, the misconceptions of some planners, and the irresponsible moneyhunger of Canadian pacific, society’s needs will be met in the future.

He was supposed to be operating as a double agent giving only general information about the left to the SS and collecting information about the security force for future use by the left. But because of his practice, new morning came to the conclusion that mackinnon was either a conscious police agent or is so “screwed up” that he must be treated as an agent. One example they cited is the eastern front which mackinnon apparently instigated. The small group recently threw a molotov cocktail into the storeroom of the information canada bookstore in halifax. New morning denounced the 1 act..* and the group aS adventuristic. Mackinnon was accused of being adventuristic and a provocateur. The latter accusation fits in well with a police agent’s actions. He was also exposed because his stories of his activities and the information he had did not click with other information new morning received.

During his five months as a double agent, mackinnon reportedly earned about 5,000 dollars for the information he supplied. When the SS was formally set upin august, his salary jumped considera bly . As a result of his actions, a new morning press release urged that “the left in canada not deal with mackinnon as he cannot be trusted”. -

ROSLYN HEIGHTS, N.Y. (CUPI)-Charges have been dropped against a man who claimed he entered a house at the invitation of the family dog . Samuel eastman told nassau county police that when he and his family returned from a night out june 4, he found a stranger inside having a drink and talking to eastman’s collie. The stranger told him, “I’m having a drink with the dog and a very pleasant conversation.” Asked by eastman how he got inside, the man replied, “The dog invited me in and asked me to join him in a drink. So I poured a scotch for him and one for myself.” Fastman called police and the stranger, identified as douglas Cameron, 29, a market researcher from andover, mass., was charged 4 with first-degree burglary. A grand jury refused to return an indictment against Cameron. Mrs. eastman, for one, was delighted with the verdict: “I thought I was the only one who drank scotch and had conversation with frisky the collie. I’m so happy there is someone else who can share those pleasures with our dog.” ‘I

by Jaque Strappe the chevron
Now that you’re all familiar with the waterbabies, is it any wonder why they are the world’s best? Take, for instance, Wednesday’s game against the slideramas. After celebrating the victory the wiped-out waterbabies left to play the game. As soon as the team entered-the pool area, it became obvious to the packed gallery who the champs were. Beset as the waterbabies were by deflated tubes they were hard pressed to breathe and it became obvious to coach mcgann that water was no subsitute for air. After taking a quick breather and having gulf bring in some customized tires (chrome patches, etc.), the waterbabies once more took to the water. Things looked bleak but then rick page and teddy (cub) bear combined on a breath-taking o&handbackhand-hit-the-face-rebound 1into the net. By the way, page’s blood is red just like everyone else’s. Inspired by this show of blood, wilkie executed a tremendous defence man and snuck in three goals while everyone else was wondering about the anguished scream. Then half-smerk nigel. burnett, taking a lesson from famed george kaufman’s book, tied $YO sliderama players by letting them drown him. Quick to take adwas brian bachet, vantage half-furd-inside-waterbabies’ smerk who reapidly tied one on. So at the end of the half the score stood at six for waterbabies, three for the slideramas. mr

Students at U of W were recently informed that a new morning-after pill was available at health servicea. By implication, many people thought of this as a new method of regular birth control. Such is not the case.
-At approximately three months the production of estrogen by the ovaries ceases, and this function is taken over by the placenta. It is during this change-over that a low estrogen may result, and. subsequently the woman will abort.
When unprotected intercourse is almost sure to result in an unwanted pregency, U of W women now have an option to waiting several weeks for verification, and perhaps an expensive follow up abortion. If taken within 24 hours, one can expect with complete confidence, that pregnancy will not result.
Diethylstilobestrol can support pregnancy for short intervals of’ time. A woman who is in danger of’ losing her child is given high’ dosages of this hormone (25 to 100 mg. daily) and thus does not abort.
The drug itself is synthetic estrogen-diethylstilobestrolgiven in 5 milligram dosages, five pills a day for five consecutive days. This high-intensity influx prevents the ovum from implanting itself in the wall of the uterus.

it terms as “pure unchemicalized organically-grown (if possible) _ meat and vegetables, fruit and grain.” The group needs vans and manpower to begin the program, and will establish a more specific list of foods to be bought and prices once the number of committed persons becomes established. The group hopes to have a small committee of people take care of the paperwork without establishing a bureaucratic elite. When the co-op has matured to the point of satisfying everyone involved, the group plans to have the idea endorsed by the student governments at U of W and WLU, since the Waterloo federation has already laid aside money for a student food co-op in the near future. Anyone interested in the idea of the co-op should phone 576-1494 as soon as possible.

Requests for more information have been sent to the food and drug administration, as well as the company responsible for dispensing this drug. Questions concerning the chemical operation in the body of women who have taken the regular birth control pill; the effect on young women whose systems have not yet stabilized; the actual testing of this drug for this purpose-these and more cannot be answered with available information.

It should be stressed that this is not to be used as a regular method of birth control. Accidents will happen occassionally in spite of the best of intentions. With the availability of other preventive measures , as well as an underdeveloment of research into side effects on a long term basis, it would be inadvisable for women to use it repeatedly . Consequently, health services have stated the morning after pill will not be. available for repeaters.

No definite long term effects have been established, however dr. andrew ,’ medical director of health services, is looking into recent reports that female children of women who took the drug to prevent spontaneous abortion, may have a higher incidence of cancer of the vagina. If these reports are proven correct, serious consideration will be given to lstopping the prescription of the pills at health services.
An organizational meeting of a proposed Waterloo food co-op was held Wednesday night at the campus center. The main purpose of the meeting was to establish the strength of the co-op, which has already been basically planned by a group of U of W students.

Quebec’sjames baygamble Winters in Ontario, quebec and :he martimes may become longer, :older and snowier. The vast breeding grounds of the blue, snow and canada geese’ will be largely eliminated. Vast tracts forest, about 20 million cords of black spruce, will oe stripped clean. The curents in james bay and ludson bay will be altered and the annual ice breakup patterns will oe changed. And the lives of 10,000 tree ndians will be interupted, oerhaps for good, likely for bad. That’s a very depressing pitlure, but it’s the way the world’s argest conservation organization, the sierra club, sees probable 3nvironmentaI harm caused by oremier robert bourassa’s james Day power project. In may, premier bourassa, staking his political future, anTounced his long-shot gamble, the s-billion dollar project which will oe the largest hydro-electric power operation in the western neisphere, twice the size of Churchill falls, and supplying enough power for four montreals. If bourassa’s project is SUCcessful in bringing prosperity through new industry and jobs for quebeckers, he could become a national hero, and at the same time solidify the liberal party for years (and prime minister trudeau too) in quebec. However the sierra club members in canada, who follow the pattern in the united states of being middle-class professionalsdoctors, lawyers, educators and writers-are demanding to know what effect the james bay project will have on Canada’s environment. Philip lind, chairman of the :,ntario chapter, claims that Ieither the federal or provincial :overnments has produced environmental impact reports On the area and that hydro quebec which claims to have spent 14 million dollars there in the past nine /ears, is a reluctant supporter. In fact, a small party of sierra slub members visited the rupert river sites in early September, and on the same aircraft, a governmental environmental team was just moving in. ‘It’s preposterous,’ mr. lind exclaimed, ‘but they have until the end of november, possibly earlier, to make a report, and we hear contracts will be let by december 10.’ “We realize the whole project is oolitically sensitive, that we in lntario can’t tell quebeckers what to do, and we must react as zanadians.” Mr. lind pointed out that a small group of sierra club members in quebec is lobbying for a greater look at environmental dangers before there’s any construction. “We hope the quebec members will be taking a greater and greater part in our opposition, ultimately the greatest role.:’ Mr. lind carefully points out that sierra and other conservation organizations aren’t opposed to the james bay project, but object to the environmental secrecy surrounding it. “We simply don’t want a repetition of premier bennett’s peace river project which was a pretty sick situation, or a repeat of athabaska. Premier bourassa’s power project, mr. limd points out, will affect one-fourth of quebec and one-third of the fresh water flow
into james and hudson bays. Mr. lind adds that the first phase, to be started in ‘1972, will divert the nottaway and broadback rivers into rupert river. ‘Clearing and water diversions will be done in 1972, dame built in 1973 and six million kilowatts produced at a cost of 4 billion dollars by 1978 for montral, 450 miles to the south. The second phase encompasses the eastmain, la grande, the caniapiscau and possibly great whale. rivers, bringing the total power to 12 million kilowattsand a cost of 7 billion dollars, twice the annual quebec budget. Lind and other conservationists _._ ctaim that there are enough “serious reasons to question almost every aspect of the scheme.” Here are a few questions the sierra club would like answered about the rupert river phase, considered as the “most environmental hazardous.” What of the fish in the nottaway and broadback? What about the geese which use the nottaway as a flyway when the river is eliminated? What’s the effect of the salinity in the area when rivers are directed? Sierra’s calculations see the back-up of water being the equivalent to at least one half the area of james bay. The watershed of the three rivers, draining 40 per cent of quebec, will then flood more than 2 million arces and these figures don’t include the eastmain project. “Don’t we remember the near disastrous effects of the aswan dam in egypt or the real tragedy of the peace river dams in british Columbia?” asks lind - What will be the effect on james bay when rivers dry up, even temporarily?
What
is
the
per-
manent effect on currents in the bays? What is the effect when the temperature of water input is altered? Will the damming create different climate patterns?
The james bay power project An engineer’s dream’ or an environmentalist’s nightmare, here’s what will be happening in thenext six years at the james bay power project: 0 largest power project in the western hemisphere, draining an area of 50,000 square miles (you could fit the maritimes or england or Switzerland into that area. 0 between five and 10 of the world’s largest dams will be built. l there’ll be 500 miles of new roads, two new airports and a new ocean port. @there’ll be two river courses chakelled into a third, the rupert river, l new towns, canals and railways will open the ninterland, 0 new mining and forest projects covering thousands of miles will be developed, l there’ll be the creation of hundreds 01 lakes, l there’ll be turbines, transformers, conductors and other electrical equipment worth 780 milli,on dollars. *cement and concrete worth 32 million dollars,, 0 structural steel worth 150 , million dollars, muebec’s hydro capacity will be doubled to 10 million kilowatts.
The sierra says definitely yes There sierra is supported by one of Canada’s top scientists, Dr. lloyc m. dickie of the bedford institute in dartmouth, n.s. Recently he warned that man made projects alter our climate pointing out that the gulf of, st lawrence and the gaspe climatt has warmed by seven degree: since the-St. lawrence seaway wa! built. He predicts the opposite wil happen if the james bay project! continues unaltered. Dr. dickie pointed out the whok seasonal flow is dependent on tht fresh water flow, mixing the warn and cold waters and resulting it ice breakup. Dr. dickie said the dams alon{ the rupert will stop thespringflow stop. the mixing process and the winter -ice will remain longer meaning longer winters for on tario, quebec and the maritime5 “No one is sure what wil happen in the fall, perhaps it’1 delay the freeze-up,” said dr dickie. He added the spring coulc last until the end of june ant possibly mean greater snowfalls “The far-reaching effects arc really something we don’t know but with present technology tht big dams could be built to coun teract the effects,” said dr. dickie Mr. lind said the land in tht hudson bay lowlands is similar tc the area of the recent landslidc disaster at st. jean de vianney. Mr. lind pointed out that tht land is very little above sea level the soil is delta, aluvial ant swampy. Noting that hydro quebec ha: expressed reservations about the soil, sierra asks: Does anyone really know where the bed rock lies? Can a dam ot series of dams be built on thiz fragile terrain ? Will there be extensive soil problems? Mr. lind noted that recently ar earth dike collapsed at churchil falls without loss of life-but tht terrain there is much easier tc work with. And mr. lind and sierra ask wha. will happen to the 10,000 tree: and their lands? Referring to the james ba! project as “big dam madness,” mr lind claims the projects has “al the earmarks of being an environ mental mistake-putting it midly “The government of quebec i: committed heart and soul to thi! project. They will not broach an! delay--the project must bt started now. w’s UP to the people o canada to demand answers o they will see another part of thei precious wilderness disappear tc the announced goal of jobs fo said mr. lind. progess,” So sierra is now pressing for i fully published environmenta impact report either by en vironment canada, the quebec government or james ba; development Corp. It wants such i report followed by public hearings Mr. lind would like the house o commons committee on en vironment, headed by david an derson, convened for public hearings as well as hearings by the national. energy board before construction begins. “What’s the point of public hearings if the boards are facet with a fait accompli?” asks mr lind. “The Canadian people shouk know what’s happening there.’ -by Don telegram

The predictable first-round produced no surprises as the Simon fraser clansmen easily deposed of the university of toronto, 84-58. The second game on friday evening saw the dalhousie tigers from halifax humiliate a weak team from queens by a score of 83-36. The first half of the game was completely dominated by dalhousie, who outscored the golden gaels 40-9. Ottawa’s gee-gees might have pulled an upset victory by playing ball control waiting for the good shots, but the lutheran gang proved too much in experience and height. With the half-time score of 25-21, ‘our cross-town rivals returned in good form after the break and outscored the gee-gees 36-16 in the second half to take the ball game 60-37. Waterloo warriors, the obvious sentemental favourites of the tournament, produced for the home town crowd as they crushed bishops university 112-56 with the highest winning score of the weekend. In the past, when the warriors have opened strong, they upheld a, reputation of slacking in the second half and playing substandard ball. In friday’s game, however, this was not the case as the warriors never let the pressure off their opposition. Among the Waterloo players, Steve igntavicius seemed to be the most improved from last year’s squad. Jaan laaniste was good for 21 points in the game on his way to an all-star selection for the tournament. Bill ross and rookie bill schlotte had 12 and 10 respectively. Laaniste hit six out of seven shots from the floor in the first five minutes, giving the warriors a 5731 first half lead. The second half saw the warriors continue their domination and ran into the triple figures on shots by fred Simpson.

Saturday Saturday morning, three blearyeyed and hung-over spectators showed up in the people’s gymnasium to see the varsity blues hand the queens squad their second loss-toronto 66, queens 45. Toronto advanced to the consolation while queens retired to water their beer with tears. The dalhousie-Simon fraser game was slated to be quite a contest. Dalhousie’s john cassidy at 6'5" and an outstanding rebounder, was in foul trouble early as he was decked with two fouls in less than one minute, but dalhousie’s bench strength proved helpful as the tigers were trailing by only four points at the end of the half. The second session saw the clansmen pull away from the tigers with strong performances from larry Clark and tony sloustcher for a final score of 82-68. By l2:3O Saturday afternoon, the waterloo fans were seated and prepared to spur on their warriors to a victory over rival-lutheran. This match could not have been any closer as the final tally saw the warriors ahead by the narrowest of margins 9 63-62. The warriors, better part of score with 3 :23 this point, paul and bill ross with five fouls to laaniste and

The game was highlighted by excellent ball control by toronto’s gerry barker and poor defense on the part of both teams. Toronto finally ekked out a lacklustre 85-68 win.
Finals Then the scene was set for the Waterloo fans’ dream game. Simon fraser, the big boys from the west, had been the team to beat from the start and few had dared to really hope that the warriors would seriously be in this tournament after deflating against Winnipeg a few weeks ago. But, from the opening tip-off, Waterloo took the game away from the visitors and never really had to look back, The gutty warriors thoroughly outplayed and outscored the frustrated clansmen during the first half and held a healthy 48-29 lead by halftime, much to the glee of the near-capacity crowd. As the second half began, the warriors fans started to see the westerners come alive for the first time. ) By the 10 : 36 mark of the half 9SF. had whittled the lead down to 63-59, and the margin hovered between four and six points for seven minutes. But the warriors finally began pulling away again as the clock ran out, leaving the 88-79 score on the clock. The Waterloo fans, called a “knowledgeable” ’ crowd by the. disappointed SF coach afterwards gave the clansmen and the warriors a standing ovation for nearly two minutes then turned their noisy attention to jean laaniste and U of W coach don mcrae, who cut down the nets at each end of the court, signifying the tournament win. Athletic director car1 totzke made the presentation to the winners amid the tossing of coins and announced the all-star selections. Named to the all-star team were: larry Clarke from Simon fraser ; al brown from WLU and dragon bilowicz and laaniste from Waterloo.

As the snow began to fly in late november, the world renowned uniwat underwater club amazed the local populace of Southampton by performing one of their rare championship body surfing exhibitions in the breakers at southhampton. After this followed a football game in full diving gear on the main street in which mike mckenna and jeff “tank” smith successfully “drowned” the etobicoke underwater club “‘cowboys”. In our last communication we reported a dive on the erie stewart ( 1908) at southampton. On this dive we spotted the remains of a new wreck, later identified as the cavalier burned circa 1900. This made the two mile swim well worth a few brew later on. The club also has made a dive to see several scuttled british navy schooners in colpoy bay in wiarton. This dive will be remembered as a world first as one of. the club members came up with the first two piece, with nothing in between, snorkel. (It froze and broke). This was of little consequence since the water temperature was so low that most of us ceased breathing upon jumping in, (water temp 36, air temp 34). We feel that we earned
our brew after this dive as well. Club activities included such apres dive social functions as a roaring drunk around a campfire while shivering in a blizzard. There will be one more pool session and final meeting this Saturday at 11: 30 where we will be trying something new, which, if successful, will be continued next term. You will be able to dive and snorkel to music. YOU may bring your own music.
Next term promises to be an interesting one for the club with several ice dives in the haliburton highlands and a trip to cape ann, 40 miles north of boston. Last year one of our members caught a 30 inch lobster and had to cook it in portions 1since the claws were 10 inches long. And of course we will continue with our twice weekly frolics in the pool.

The warriors travelled to toronto to meet the blues last friday night in exhibition hockey action. Varsity arena was packed with blues fans and the warriors band looking for the usual close brand of hwkey exhibited in past years. The blues opened the scoring at the one minute mark of the first. period. The warriors quickly tightenedup the play and kept the blues fairly tied up but were themselves unable to convert plays into shots on net. Waterloo tied it up at 7 : 01 and so it remained until the blues boomed in four goals in six minutes, one by ex-warrior bob bauer. The period ended 5-1 with varsity outshooting the warriors 16-8. The second period opened quickly with monroe potting the blued sixth marker at the one minute mark, and except for morris responding with the warriors second goal the period was all blues until the 13 :2O mark
when they scored their sixth and final goal of the period. As this was an exhibition game and he was travelling with two goalies coach mckillop -switched netminders at the ten minute mark as the blues scored their third goal while shorthanded. Fifty seconds later bill bubba, high-scoring blues vetran, who had to that point never scored on a warrior team sliced one home from the blueline with the blues still a man short. The balance of the period was dominated by broken plays and very little sustained offence on the part of either team. The blues outshot the warriors 20-10 in a sometimes frustrating second period. The warriors tied the blues l-l in an extremly slow paced third period.The blues began switching lines with defencemen moving t’; forward and vice-versa. Neither team was too excited and the play showed it.
Varsity picked up nine penalties to the warriors seven with the final score being 12-3. Scoring for the blues were wright, monroe, and healy with two each and lysionek, bauer, pagnut ti, seagrist, milnes and bubba with singles. Warriors marksmen were farwell, morris and kropf. The blues were up for the game having been beaten out of first place by one pointby the warriors last year. The next blues game will be in Waterloo january 26, part of the regular season action. Thursday night the warriors defeated an extremly low caliber ryerson rams squad 4-2. The warriors outshot ryerson 41-15 but on the whole played an extremly poor brand of hockey. The warriors host the brock university generals tonight and the western mustangs thursday, at 8:30 in Waterloo arena both nights.

TWO warriors Warrior half-back rick chevers and defensive tackle john buda were named to the Canadian allstar intercollegiate football team last week. University coaches were polled to decide on the final hypothesized line-up. The OUAA dominated selections placing twelve players of a possible twenty four with the western conferences offering eight,. the maritimes three and quebec one. National-champions university of western Ontario grabbed three positions, two on defense with outstanding half back brute mcrae filling that offensive post. Two western teams, the universities of Saskatchewan and manitoba were the other teams to place three members on the dream-team. As quarterback, Wayne dunkley was the lone university of toronto representative, former Canadian football powerhouse.

Road runneis On the eve of november 24, the berwick-international-g.3 milesmarathon-road racedefendingchampions set out to retain their title and prove to the american upstarts that Waterloo sistance runners are a group not to be discarded. Kipchoge sumner, sammie pearson, python northey and murray hale teamed to reminisce last years’s phenomenal performance. Another uniwat team, hearing of the riches to be garnered in berwick, Pennsylvania ,also took aim on the team championship but hopes were not high for disloging last year’s champions, also from the town of ~‘100. Boone anderson, nigel strothard, byron olver and jon arnett provided the upstart competition for the defenders. The pre-event meal featured organic sustenance and liquid happiness at the sumner farm prior to the long trek to the southern city. The team set out in fine spirits towards the border but was shortly tire. delayed by a flat Disregarging any suggestions of premonitions, the gay group (so to speak) continued towards the border where they had a bit of difficulty explaining to the guard that length of hair has little to do with athletic prowess. Arriving in the land of the beautiful (the united-states-of-amirica) the two cars managed to lose each other under the cover of darkness and one helluva snow storm. Another six hours found the group 45 miles short of the destination and a few inches into a snowdrift. Three hours later, the group straggled into the metropolis of berwick under 30 inches of snow three and a half hours after race time. Warhoops of glee and other of happiness were expressi’ons heard when the group learned that the race was posponed until the next day. The teams were fortunate to meet shorty balazas, the midget who finished the race in twelfth position in 1943 and is the leading program seller for the event annually. Shorty, whose real name is harry is the same harry who owns and runs harry’s general store and serves as the postal clerk in the quaint metropolis. He also has a

Headed by mike quince, the individual star of the game, the warriors rebounded and scored four goals within one minute then proceeded to hit the posts time and time again. The final score read 1312 in queens’ favour. Even so, it was found that the queen’s team had used two ineligible players from a city league to bolster their ranks and, unfortunately for them, the squad was disqualified with the game and third place awarded to Waterloo. In the other game between toronto and mcmaster, the team that had given the warriors fits all season beat the blues handily 8-3 to win the championship.

The squad, although not placing first in any events, came second in, four of ten races being nipped at the wire by toronto on two occasions. A team record of 406.8 was set in the 400 medley relay with eric robinson swimming backstroke in 1:01.9, doug munn going 1:09.6 in the breaststroke, paul sharpe a 59.0 in the butterfly leg and brian cartiledge a 55.5 anchor freestyle. The next race saw yet another record fall when freshmen karl brubacher and karl henry teamed up with rolfe mcewan and brute murray to come second behind toronto in the 400 yard crescendo in a very fast 3:39.6. The uniwat foursome of robinson munn, jim low and brian ‘zack’ bachert came in a suprise second place behind a vrey powerful toronto squad noted for their backstrokes over the past few years. The time was a f&t 4:og.g for the warriors. It looks like it will be a good year for sprinters as the team of henry, murray, brubacher, and cartiledge lowered the old team mark for the 200 yard sprint event to a fast 1:35.1. Fastest: was brubacher speeding home on anchor in just 22.7 seconds. This however, was just good enough for second spot. Another second place finish was registered. in the 800 yard crescendo.

Waterloo entered three swimmers in the 50 yd butterfly and all scored points. Debbie farquhar placed third in a time of 32.3, Chris l&ton came in at 33.1 while laura foley was clocked in 36.9. Foley was picked ‘as the athenas entry in the most grueling event on the program, the 400 yd im which is doing loo yds or four lengths of butterfly, then backstroke, breaststroke and finishing (if possible) with freestyle. Her time for the long race was a very respectable 6;32.7, godd for fourth spot. Veteran freestyler sue robertson went a 5:38.6 for the 400 yd event while going a good 2 :35.9 over the shorter 200 yd distance. Another outstanding performance was registered by brigitte zirger who went 1: 10.7 for the 100 yd freestyle. This was her personal best time. The final event of the meet saw the athenas finish fourth in the 400 yd freestyle relay. The team of sue robertson, anne pollock, debbie farquhar and judy abbot& covered the distance in a quick 4 :26.4, just five seconds behind the winners. The gals now take a well deserved break from competition until january 15th and the fir.& guelph relay meet. Even so practices are continuing weekdays at 4pm.

After placing fourth in the Waterloo invitational OVA intercollefia te tournament, the Waterloo athenas met their match on november 23. Western managed to win a 3-2 decision. The girls came on strong in the f’irst game str$ching their lead to the end and won 15-4. The second game however saw the western gang reverse the roles and outpointed the athenas 15-l. The third game was won by the athenas 16-14, but they couldn’t ho_ld onto the lead and blew the next two games 16-14 2nd 15-13. On Wednesday, hitting the road again, the athenas won a decisive match against macmaster. Again starting out strong, the girls won the first game 15-4. Leading the attack at the net were jan roorda and penny green. Sue mctavish again played a calm, well executed setting game as well as displaying strong striking at the net. The second game was won 15-2, and the athenas were two-up. Macmaster came back strongly to take the third game 15-11 necessitating a set of four games. The athenas, not wishing to stretch the number of games to stretch. the number of games to five, took their opponents 15-12 iti the last game. Next game will be tonight against Windsor, tip off time--&30 pee em.

Atomic energy commission (AEC) chairman james schlesinger has reported to congress that the largest US aunderground nuclear test was carried out successfully, safely, and with environmental damage confined to a small section of amchitka island. In the first full-scale report since the november 6 test schlesinger said “there were no earthquakes, no tidal waves, no releases of radiation. To date there are no indications of any significant environmental impact beyound the area of the immediate test site.” He defended and praised most of the invironmental groups who had sought to block the five-megaton explosion. “In the wake of the test there has been a tendency to criticize the wnvironmentalists,” he said in november 15 testimony to a house public works appropriations subcommittee. “Most acted with great responsibility,” he said. “Some of the more extreme statements attributed to invironmentalists did not come from the bulk of the invironmental organizations.” He cited one group, the national wildlife federation, for taking “an exceedingly responsible position” but he did not name individuals or groups he said made “melodramatic” statements. Schlesinger also repeated his earlier statement that the soviet union had set off the largest undeground nuclear test, not the united states. He testified: “The

A second soviet test last month. he said. was in the three-to-five Both were megaton range. presumably tests of a soviet anti-ballistic missile (ABM) warhead. In a ‘IO-minute question-andanswer session with the committee, schlesinger said the amchitka test appeared to verify the predicted yield and x-ray output of the spartan anti-ballistic missile warhead. Success, he said is based on calculations deriving from data from surface instruments and seismometers at and around the test site. He said planned drilling back into the 6,000-foot (1,800-meter) shaft -will be carried out to measure the precise yield and Xray production of the device, which was exploded in an evacuated cannister to simulate the vacuum of space. He repeated that no further tests are planned for amchitka. “We plan to shut down and repair any damage caused by the AEC,” he said. But on the larger question of further US underground testing, he said the. atomic energy commission “plans relatively low yield tests” to continue at the nevada site in western united states. “Until such time as all powers cease such R and D (research and development) efforts,” he said, “it would be imprudent for the united states to unilaterally cease tests” in the absence of a universal ban on nuclear testing that includes on site inspection. On the extent of environmental damage on amchitka, schlesinger said: “There was no impact more than several miles ground zero. The latest count, which we are unable to separate from casualties caused by a go-mile (144kilometer) an hour storm the day before the test, is four seals, 15 sea otters and 15 birds, mostly ducks, dead in the wake of the test.’

“Ground cracking occured out to two or three miles (3.2 or 4.8 kilometers) of ground zero, slightly greater than predicted.” On lingering concern about the possibility of radiation leakage underground to nearby bering sea, schlesinger explained that fission byproducts created in the explosion, that is, particulate matter, are trapped and will remain in the solidifying rock cooling in the cavity near the bottom of the deep test shaft. However, radioactive tritum gas can and will move slowly through the semi-porous rock at a rate c&&ted by experts (and based. on actual studies of tritium movement through semi-porous, rock) to take 1,000 years to reach the sea. Even assuming a hypothetical escape of tritium to the sea in three years, as argued by some environmentalists, tritium would undergo rapid dilution in the ocean to very low levels. Further, uptake of tritium by marine life, he said, is not selective, like strontium-90 that accumulates in animal bone tissue, but is in the same concentration as the surrounding water itself. Schlesinger said no radiation leakage to the surface had been detected and none is expected because of the depth and selfsealing nature of the test. US information

Bagbiters out St. jerome’s college had its bid for a seventh intramural championship snuffed out when its hockey team was defeated-not on the ice but at a protest meeting. Co-op, which was trounced by the bagbiters in the last game of the regular season for both teams, protested the defeat because it believed st. jerome’s was using an ineligible player. The player in question, who is in his third year with st. jerome’s hockey team, had played infrequently in two warrior exhibition hockey games, oblivious to the fact that he was jeopardizing his eligibility as a bagbiter. At a meeting of those concerned, the intramural constitution was consulted and the protest was upheld, 5-l. As a result of the vote co-op gained a spot in the playoffs, ousting st. jerome’s from the last position. To say that we are not disappointed and angered slightly by the decision, would be fallacy. But we were, in reality, beaten-beaten by a technicality, not by the lack of talent, nor by co-op. Co-op, which we could have whipped without the protested player as well as a handful of regulars, now advances sheepishly to the playoffs-knowing only too well that the bagbiters are the superior team, which will once again be demonstrated next term. It has been said that rules are made to be broken. Not so in this case. But when so much was at stake, and when the person involved, as well as the teams had no idea that a rule was being broken, it seems that the governing body should have acted with more descretion. larry captain,

Council contender to represent self If Christian radder is elected to Waterloo city council I fear he will use his position for a personal vendetta against students. - I believe that his only interest in running for council is to have the zoning bylaws in Waterloo enforced and that this interest has arisen out of a dislike for his next door neighbours-students. (I am one .of his student neighbours). I quote from the K-W record, September 9, 1971: “He (radder) said there have been three different groups living in the house and all have been a nuisance to the neighbourhood. The first group had a band-and the second group was heavily involved with drugs. “The group now occupying the house has several cars which are causing parking problems.”

For those who would protest that the writers dwelt too long on kendal’s and. morrison’s american origins I submit this: Last may 26 while discussing the state of the world with larry kendal the question of US domination of canada and the probable death of the “Canadian” university arose.

Play radio Waterloo As I sit in the campus centre, I wonder why aren’t we listening to radio Waterloo? The choice seems to be between the turnkey’s records or (heaven forbid), chum-fm. Radio Waterloo has a wider selection than the first, and does without the commercialism of the latter. Since we as students support radio Waterloo financially, we should benefit from it and its student oriented programming. Radio Waterloo would also benefit from the wider student and community visitor participation brought about by airing it in the campus centre. john dorn math 2a
Guelph’s chinada In your issue of november 12, you stated an article I quote “guelph students seek help on red china exchanges”. I wish to make clear, that was misinformative we do not seek help, the proposal has already been made and it involves members of the university of guelph only. We only asked interested individuals at the university of Waterloo to come and see our films and attend our lecture series based on the people’s republic of china. I therefore request a reprint with the correct information. With hopes that you will clarify your statement. Oscar mior chairman, chinada
Radder forgot to mention that he must also be a nuisance to the neighbourhood since he has three cars in his driveway and so do we. Radder said he told two aldermen, whom he did not name, about the problem but nothing has been is done by done. “If nothing council, where does one go?“, he asked. Radder discovered that “where one goes” is to run for council. Again I quote from the K-W record, november 26, 1971: “Christian radder said council has been unable to enforce zoning bylaws and has consistently complaints from ignored residents.” I believe that radder has no interest in representing the people-his only aim is to represent himself. I believe he has decided that enforcing the zoning bylaws is a priority and that all other issues will suffer at his hands. Donald Scott, chief planner for the city of Waterloo, told radder that “the city is aware that zoning regulations are being violated but said that there wasn’t the manpower to enforce the regulations. “He added that if the regulations were enforced there would likely be several thousand students without housing (K-W record September 9, 1971). sue dennison arts 4
The parking gods As usual, tenders were submitted for the uniwat towing job. Is it just by coincidence that the owner of active towing, which handles most of the job, is a supposed buddy of al romenco? According to an employee of the towing service, the company is prospering from uniwat student and faculty funds. With a blessing from romenco, “the parking god”, the towing company sets up a temporary business in the central stores yard and proceeds to make a killing. At eight dollars a shot it’s a good night’s work for towing a car less than half a mile. There seems to be an inconsistency in the security department, as only a select group of car owners gets the privilege of picking up their cars at central stores. What about the cars and buses blocking fire routes at physical activities building, the culde-sacs, the faculty club, and so on? There should be changes in parking accomodation. There

should be better defined parking areas. For example, if they don’t want parking in front of the campus centre, then put up signs immediately in front of the building. The only logical area for parking on the ring road is in front of the campus centre. This is one area where there aren’t any signs. What the hell is the use of putting up signs in an area where no one will park anyway, as in the present case. Conditions as they stand cannot be tolerated much longer.

gae more towing We the undersigned, are very, very pissed off at the present moment because our car parked in one of the campus parking lots (h) after 6 pm, had been towed away. Why do cars have to be towed away from an almost empty parking lot? Why aren’t the gates put up after 6 pm after the privileged few have gone home for the night? Why do students have to pay a dime to park in lot c, and walk across university ave at night time when all the other campus parking lots are almost empty? Earlier in October, the head of security discussed the new parking system on campus saying, “It is not designed to make more profit.” After a candid conversation with a person who is at present engaging in the towing business, we begin to believe that they are not making as much profit as they expected since the gates have been installed; they have spent a small fortune in replacing broken gates (more than 80 have been replaced so far). In order to make these expenses up, the towing business seems to be the only answer. (It costs you 8 dollars to tow a car from a parking lot to the security office. > We truely believe that the majority of students do not approve of the new system of parking, especially those who have to drop by the campus several times a day. Why can’t we go back to the old system of paying 14 dollars for eight months? If this is not possible why can’t they put all the gates up after six pm if their intention is not trying to squeeze every penny out of the students’ pockets? Or are they still not satisfied with all the gates being smashed in the last few weeks? irate

S CELESTIAL CHOIRS hummed a strain of 0 Canada and the pulse bf canadian nationalists everywhere rac4 (Iuicker, the Grey Report burst upon the country’s consciousness two weeks ago. The basic strategy which the Cray Report recommends to deal with the threatened economic and cultural assimilation into the great imperialistic marshmallow to the south, is a screening ,Igency which would review future foreign takeovers and direct investment in canada. (Direct investment as opposed to portfolio investment is defined as actual, legal control of the assets of a corporation rather than merely possession of share equity.)
Such a body would have the power to block any new foreign economic move which did not conform to government goals regarding Canada’s development. .The report also deals with the by~~roducts of foreign investment such as its inhibiting effect on the emergence of a distinctive Canadian cultural identity and
the country’s forced dependence on a foreign-developed technologyunsuited to its own national needs. Another predictable facet of the report is its c-all for greater support of Canadian industry and the recommendation to home>-grown industrialists and investors to be less cautious in their support of industrial expansion than they have been in the past. l-he report says that a major factor retarding the dev.elopment of an autonomous capitalist economy has been the innate conservatism of Canadians about investing in their own country. It now appears that the edited version of. the report which Canadian forum obz tained by as yet undisclosed means, is very close to the document which gray presented to the cabinet some time agoand which wg$ to have remained secret. It appears, too, that the document has been used as a base for formulating government policy on foreign ownership. Mitchell sharp, at the time acting prime minister, admitted in the house of commons, november 16 that the cabinet has given approval in principle to the screening agency concept.

Our heritage is one of a comprador bourgeoisie jealously guarding ‘its power and - privilege through a rigid class of higher structure and a sys tern education serving to mystify the masses. The effect of this structure was either to discourage indigenous initiative or to channel it to the limited ends of british capital. In the words of the report, gap” canada’ had an “entrepreneurial with respect to the united states. This, complemented by a lack of capital and technology in a period of rapid growth allowed the american penetration of the Canadian economy. As the same structure of Canadian society in a somewhat,moderated form still exists, the problem of “en‘trepreneurship” and the possibility of even greater foreign domination is still with us.

Assuming that foreigners will want to invest in canada and that they have some type of advantage which enables them to do so, why not allow them to invest and then cash in on the advantage? “The screening authorities would seek to secure the best possible deal from foreign
investment and block its entry not beneficial .” (page 50)
where
it is
As the bulk of foreign investment in canada originates from foreign firms ilready in canada ([hrough their retained earnings and borrowing on Canadian capital markets) the screening agency would have to cover all foreign investment in the country whether or not it originates from within or without the borders. Since fdreign firms invest the equivalent of 60 percent of Canadian savings, the impact of the agency could be quite considerable over time. I he authors of the report realize this and consequently assign the agency the job of “rationalizing the Canadian economy by encouraging investment in those areas where Canadian industry could specialize and assist the development of Canadian distinctiveness (chg. unique products and processes] which would become sufficiently attractive internationally to generate high levels of employment.”
1,ooo,ooo This proposal, though it might increase domestic control and lead to a more rational structure of the economy, still leaves the initiative for the development of the country in the hands of those outside the country-this, of course does not alter the situation which necessitated the report in the first place. Moreover, even the relatively limited aim of control depends on the capacity of the agency to resist foreign pressure. Given the fact that most of the industry is owned by foreigners, the chances that the government will resist foreign pressure is very small. In any case, to quote visiting and world-respected economis,t Joan Robinson “any government which had both the power and the will to remedy the major defects of the capitalist system *would have the will to abolish it altogether.”
.
The Excited Stateshas a lean and hungrvlook J
The main value in the Cray Report is its extensive documentation of the scope and dimension of foreign ownership that (Ilready exists in this country. The report shows, for example, that the assets of ioreign-owned firms in canada amount to ‘it Ieast SO billion dollars and that at least - .58.1 per cent of all manufacturing inclustries are .foreign-ownedthat is, a controlling concentration of equity in the firm resides in a nation other than canada. As necessari as it is to prevent any further sellout of our industry or resources, the amount on economic and political ljower that already rests in foreign handszcln those hands by a vast majority are’ american-wiiI effectively prevent us from ever putting forth any kind of meaningful ,jssertion of our own dgtinv.
The problem lalk of buying ’ back the Canadian economy under the existing system is uItimateIy unrea’listic. Despite the token step of attempting to retard the rate of foreign takeover of our means of /,roduction, very littie is going to change in terms of in whose hands the power to make decisions about the lives of canadians rests. Still, the Cray Report is an indicator of how far we are from controlling our own t~cononiic destiny-even in a straight, capitalist sense-and how this is fast becoming a central reality to members of the government. The research team which compiled the report was headed by a young montreaI clconomist, joel bell. The task force dreG upon the knowledge of a large number of experts employed in various branches of the federal civil service. 1 he report, two years in the compiling, has been called the most comprehensive study of foreign ownership and investment over undertaken in this country. Some of the research and the concIUsio17s of the report can help us to better understand the nature of our own exIjioitation. Among the most sinificant of the observations made: l A large amount of Canadian money is being used to finance the sellout of the country’s identity and resources. There is a slower influx of american capital than there has been in the past but as the report points out, over 60 per cent of the financing for the expansion of foreign control between 1961 and 1967 came from Canadian sources. And as the report says: “...if new direct investment were to be clntirely excluded from canada, foreign control would continue to grow in absolute terms,‘ due to both the internal generation of finances by the firm and their ability to raise external funds in the Canadian capital market.” 0 As a direct consequence of foreignagain chiefly american - involvement in our economy, the growth of Canadian culture in nearly all respects has been stultified. As the report says: “...the presence of large volumes of foreign investment concentrated in US hands increases the difficulty of developing a distinctive national culture. This has potentially serious implications since the economic and political strength of a country lies largely in th,e creations of a cultural, social tclnd political milieu which favours inuligenous initative and innovation.”
l-he authors of the report also point out that a sort-of vicious circle develops; the less national culture a country has, the greater the danger of foreign economic domination& “The lack of a strong identity clnd a distinctive culture tend to create...a vacuum and a greater. receptivity to foreign influence and investment.”
The proposal l -1he country’s reliance on an external technology has retarded the development of national autonomy. The report says: “Some 95 per cent of patents issued’ in canada are registered to foreign owners, of which two-thirds are owned by united states residents... “Another study shows that in a list of 25 countries, canada is first in percentage of patents which are foreign-owned and last in the percentage of patents owned by nationals of the issuing country.” 1 his indicates that our technology has been melded to meet the demands of nations other than our own and that if we are to achieve any form of sovereinty we must cdme to grips with a technology oriented to’ specific Canadian needs and problems. “If technology is in Canadian hands, the chances are greater that its use will be adapted to the needs of the Canadian milieu” the report concludes. l The world’s economy is on the verge of being dominated by abbut 300 multinational enterprises-defined by the report as being “major corporations that spread their activities around the world and treat all countries as their own. “Twothirds of these multinational enterprises are american-controlled. Some sobering statistics about these corporate monsters whose power rivals that of even the largest nations: l tighty percent of all american direct toreign investment is &counted for by 200 t irms. l Sales of l!.S.-owned corporationj operating in foreign countries amounts t0 ,Ibout 200 billion doliars a year. o Multinational corporations are resijonsible for I5 percent of the gross national product-the value of all goods and bervices producedin the non-socialist world. l This percentige will rise to 50 percent 1990 at which time sales of bY multinational enterprises operating throughout the world will be valued at around 2,000 billion dollars. l In the near future it will not be unusual for these giant companies to have over one million employees. l l-he book value of american direct investment abroad has- increased from about 7.5 billion dollars in 1929 to 70.8 billion in 1969 and is still expanding.
l The conclusion of the report is that these multinational corporations through their size and the consequent greater integration of national economies are gaining more power than most national governments. There will have to be sdme kind of showdown. I he Extent of the control of these multinational corporations in canada is further ,jnll,lified by the figures: In 1968 the assets of firms which were 50 ller cent or nonresident-owned were 50.7 billion dollars. (It should be remembered that effective control of a corporation can be gained by possession of as little as three I)t-‘r cent of its common stock.)
As measured by taxable incomeusually not the best gauge because of the numerous tax loopholes whichcorI,orations can find 64 percent of the manufacturing industry in canada is foreign-owned. Ontario tops this industrial sellout parade with 70 per cent foreign ownership of manufacturing firms followed by the prairies with 61 per cent, the atlantic provinces with 60 per cent and by EK with 44 percent. Foreign ownership in quebecconsidered by the government to be nonc-anadian as opposed to non-quebecoisis somewhat below national levels in all sectors except services and utilities.
Over 8,500 Canadian firms are foreign( ontrolled; at least 7,000 by americans. This list has been growing in recent years by about 170 companies a year. There are some important realizations about the shaky chances for Canadian survival contained in the Cray Report. It would appear that the trudeau government is prepared to make at least token steps to arrest the trend that is marking our destruction. But neither the authors of the report, nor the government, nor the men who hold the real power are willing to make any fundamental changes to a economic and social system that operates only for the rich. It look Iike we’l I have to be content as colonials for some time to come.

At least people are talking (is anyone listening) about student representation and parity this week and in the poli sci department there is a demand for action but only within that department. if some of the energy that exists in the departments were direct&d toward a centre-like opposition to the university of Waterloo act-maybe something could be done. but on the other hand, maybe the action of the political types is to a point-that students are more interested and more effective working within their departments. if page can’t even get a quorum at a general meeting to talk about ice cream what can be expected of a lesser issue like the act. actually the two issues are not that far apart-in both is the question of what rights or maybe power students have to decide how they are to-be governed or even if they are to be governed. maybe matthews thinks today it’s ice cream, tomorrow the world. from the depths of the chevron sporthives this week were: joe spineto, terry morin, mark yunker, jeff (tank) smith, mike-mckenna, john spring, ron smith, nigel burnett, geo?ge neeland, byron olver, python northey, edward grant, norm beers, larry burko, doug baird, debbie smith, dennis mcgann, all of whom say “merry Christmas to the nice people at the persa sport shop...we really like the tee-shirts.” at entertainment we were: david tootill, nigel burnett, pail stuewe (X2), lionel koffler, irene gates, jim harding (farewell, alas), rick Powell, sandy froese, janet stoody (enjoyed the little vacation, didn’t you), and david cubberley. &eating news this week: nigel burnett (who got to do page 18), brute hahn, una o’callaghan, george kaufman, bill Sheldon, alex smith, niki and james, mart roberts, deanna kaufman and joan Walters. photo people included: brian cere, gord moore, scott’gray, randy hannigan, len greener, and john mcdougall. thought at 1:24 art&now that winter weather is here, will nixon put a 10 per cent surtax on cold fronts from canada? dfk.
