voy char ed in arts society fraud by Marc Roberts and Bruce Murphy chevron
staff
Phillip Benovoy, president of the union of arts societies, has been charged in connection with irregularities found in the financial statements of the union following an audit of their books requested by union treasurer David Chapley. An amount in excess of one thousand dollars was not accounted for. This money is thought to have been taken during the summer months of 1971. The executive of the union, before they departed for the summer, had tentatively decided on some activities to take place at orientation in September. No other work or activities had been planned. All but union president Phillip Benovoy went to their summer jobs. Benovoy however remained at university to take some classes and, it seems, to run the arts society. To do this he needed money and so he sent blank cheques to union treasurer Kent Webster and secretary Mike Krepocavich for signing-all members of the executive are signing members and two signatures are required for a check. Benovoy informed them that only small amounts necessary for the running of the union would be filled in on the cheques so the two in question complied by signing. However at no time was union vice-president Eric Mackie asked to sign a cheque or informed of what was going on. On May 31 a cheque for $375 was cashed and allegedly deposited in an account under Benovoy’s name at the Twin Cities Community credit union. On june 9 a cheque for
$90 and a cheque for $240 were reported cashed by Benovoy. It seems that the $90 cheque was put into the Twin Cities account but it is not known what was done with the $240. Union money coming in from other sources in excess of $360 was supposedly placed in this account. The account was setup tc facilitate Benovoy’s payment of Union bills. On October 20, David Chapley became treasurer of the union. He asked Benovoy to give him the books of the union and the expenditures of the summer months. Benovoy put him off by saying that he would bring the books in for the union council meeting of november *4. On november 3 Chapley threatened to take the matter to council unless he received the books in time to prepare them for the council meeting. Benovoy brought in the the books but still did not bring the bills for expenditures made during the summer. But he did bring a number of bills that he claimed had been paid for out of his own pocket. These came to a total of $345.
c
In council on the fourth, Benovoy made’ a motion that he be reimbursed for the amount that he had spent upon verification of the bills by the treasurer. It was passed and more than one hundred dollars was paid to him rightafter the meeting. Benovoy did not bring the summer receipts to council for the november 11 meeting nor two subsequent meetings. On november 25 Dave Chapley went to federation of students president Rick Page in an effort to force Benovoy to bring in the bills. Page suggested that the federation audit the union’s books. On the same day the union received a
letter asking them to bring their books for an audit on november 30. It further requested that the executive be present to answer any questions. Chapley informed Benovoy of this meeting by leaving the letter, along with a personal letter advising him to bring the receipts to the meeting. Benovoy did not appear at the audit in which it was found that an amount in excess of one thousand dollars was unaccounted for. It is assumed that Benovoy knew of the audit becase he had filed away the federation letter and had removed Chapley’s letter from the office. With the audit the rest of the union council became involved. On december 2 council revoked Benovoy’s signing powers. On the same day, talking to Chapley on the phone, Benovoy said that he had been in a car accident but would be in on the following monday. He did not come on the monday, although he was reportedly seen on campus. That day a registered special delivery letter was sent to him at him home address, requesting his “presence...at a union of arts societies council meeting on december 9 . . ..to answer to allegations of misuse and mismanagement of society funds.” Further is said that “failure to comply with this request, or to give just cause as to why you cannot be present at this meeting will be interpreted as a resignation on your part from the position of president of the union of arts societies.” Benovoy did not appear at the council meeting. Council voted unanimously to impeach him and
to instate Eric Mackie as acting president. It also requested that the federation undertake to return all money lost by the union and that Dave Blaney, federation vicepresident , be appointed liason officer between the federation and the union. A letter dated december 10 informed the federation of these changes. The federation decided to allow university security to handle the case, thereby making the case criminal rather than civil. Security investigated and sent their findings to the crown attorney. The crown Attorney sent them away saying their findings were inconclusive. Security investigated more and on the third attempt managed enough to charge Benovoy. Benovoy now stands charged and further action is being considered pending findings on the case. Because their constitution calls for elections in march union council has voted to retain Eric Mackie as acting president until election time.
_
Out of this Benovoy-Artsoc case arise the questions of whether the money can be retrieved and, perhaps more important, what restrictions and procedures are necessary to prevent this happening again? Is it student apathy, allowing things such as acclamations and unfilled posts, that allowed one man to get away with’ things? Is it apathy on the part of the people in administrative positions that allows a man to have blank cheques filled out without question and then use the money as he sees fit? Perhaps the people who sign blank cheques should also have charges or fines brought against them?

City to fight --
university
n clause fought by ken hyslop the chevron
Uniwat president Burton C. Matthews is confident that the city of Waterloo will I not be legally enabled to expropriate university land for the extension of Westmount road. Waterloo mayor Donovan Meston is equally confident that the provincial legislature will vote in his favor. The entire issue centres around section eight of the university of Waterloo act. It states that the municipal government cannot expropriate university land for any reason. Mayor Meston says that the city intends to contest the section on the grounds \ that the university can’t be treated differently from any other large group of citizens. He further stated, “the university is taking the position that nobody but nobody is going to touch us.” Meston says, “if everybody is given the right to withstand civic expropriation, no development could take place. This is a basic issue for the city.” Matthews has explained that this argument has’ been going on for many years. Last fall in a hearing by the Ontario municipal board the only thing decided was to keep the location of the road flexible. He feels there could be a “mutually agreeable compromise” but none has been found yet.
Science
Matthews says that the university should be exempt from on it’s future expropriation campus site and states that both Carleton and the university of Toronto have this clause included in their acts. This is the basis for his confidence regarding the intact passing of the university act. As a private bill, Matthews sees the act being presented in the legislature, given first reading, and going to the private bills committee. At this point any objections should come forth. It will be here that the city should try and have section eight changed or deleted. Mank, of the law firm, Smyth Mank and Smyth, in representation of the university, said that they will do all they can. “All we know is that the city council has taken the initial step”. He says this in regard to an attempt at expropriation. All parties concerned must now wait until the bill comes up before the legislature. It is hoped that-this will happen during the next sitting but no-one knows for sure. The law firm of McGibbon Harper and Haney is handling the city’s case with their representative, Mr. White. Mr. White is a singularly difficult man to find let alone speak to and for this reason the cities efforts in the matter are largely unknown. The city of Waterloo planning
board however has been informed that the mayor and his legal aid have already started making applications to the province. In the midst of all this legal confusion it seems difficult to keep track of that which is actually proposed. The mayor and the city of Waterloo are standing behind a principle. They feel that no-one should be allowed to set a precedent in resisting municipal expropriation. The mayor stated his trepidation when he referred to the fact that ‘other civic bodies might also fight what he styled ‘development’. In truth, the civic government of this community wants to run what will presumeably be a four lane highway with a divided boulevard directly through the area in which the university plans to expand the campus. If the mayor realizes his plan of ‘what he calls “corner rounding” this highway will ultimately run through the middle of the expanded campus. This reality is the basic objection and defense of the university administration. Matthews points this out and reiterates that university land is directly owned by the province and therefore should be exempt from civic expropriation. Both Burt Matthews and Donovan Meston are confident in their stated positions. The decision lies with the provincial government.
department
The science department of the university of Waterloo has asked seven of its,employees to find other jobs. W. B. Pearson, dean of science, explained that the layoffs were made in the face of a statement by uniwat president Burt Matthews that certain _ departments of the university may be overstaffed. Although the projected enrollment for the science faculty has been met for this year, reduction of the technical staff in the science shops has been deemed the best available method of meeting the demands of the current budget squeeze.
Normally, faculty cutbacks would be met by non-renewal of contracts plus normal attrition. Pearson stated that since the aim of the university should be directed towards undergraduate education, the most appropriate way of dealing with budgetary problems is to cut back on technical staff. It has apparently been suggested that although a great deal of technical aid was needed in -setting up the science workshops in former years, the need for science technical staff is not now as great.
fires 7 Although the layoffs will not take place immediately, the staff members have been informed that their present jobs will not remain open to them. The technicians have been told that the university will do as much as is possible to help them find new positions and that they are free to apply for any jobs open now- on ca.mpus. However, most are overqualified for any existing positions. Pearson also revealed that financial support to the science department will probably be reduced.

The spiralling quantities of farm manure and human sewage being produced in the K-W area and the growing concern over the pollution of the environment from public transit and other vehicle exhaust may be jointly solvable. The development in England of a process converting chicken manure into methane, a pollutionfree fuel of high calorific value, may herald a new source of fuel for motor vehicles. A demonstration unit is near completion on this campus. Students from engineering and the natural and social sciences are invited to conduct research into some or all of the questions raised by this development.

However, buses go around the university and, for $5.25, give about 12 students a ride to Toronto and back each weekend. On the other hand, the federation provides the same trip for $3.50 ($2.50 if you want to take a school bus). The federation runs eight buses a week-filled. So Larry Hundt, council member friday

in charge of busing, is puzzled that Gray Coach would want to maintain the service. And he is more puzzled that the line is to continue the service on a daily basis. Hundt is sure they are losing money. Asked why his company is stepping up an apparently worthless run, the manager of the K-W terminal replied “to provide a service for the students”. To set aside Hundt’s confusion, Gray Coach does not run directly to Toronto from the university. Buses stop at WLU and the bus terminal to fill up before setting out. The bus company is not losing money, say company spokesmen. 14 january

The paper is not published often so there is no worry about being overburdened with too much work and too little- time. Apply at the Engsoc off ice. At present two conferences have been planned for engineering students. The first will be around february 3 at the university of guelph on the Lapp report. The Lapp report states that uniwat’ engineering should break away from the university and become an independent school similar to the Michigan Institute of Technology. Engsoc hopes to be sending a number of students from both streams. The second conference is planned for early march at the university of New Brunswick. The subject will be environmental pollution. Engsoc hopes to be sending 2 or 3 students from “A” stream and a number from “B” depending on the amount of money available. Engsoc held its welcome back get together for “A” on january 6 in the festival room. The math semi-for’mal “Afterglow” on january 21 at Caesar’s Forum will cost students $6.50 per couple.

Studies seminar
,
Scandinavian Seminar is now accepting applications for its study abroad program in Denmark, Finland, Norway, or Sweden for the academic year 1972-73. This living-and-learning experience is designed for college students, graduates and other adults who want to become part of another culture while acquiring a second language. An initial 3 weeks language course, followed by a family stay, will give the student opportunity to practice the language on a daily basis and to share in the life of the community. For the major part of the year he is separated from his fellow american students, living and studying among Scandinavians at a “People’s College” (residential school for continuing adult education) or some more specialized institution. All Seminar participants meet at the introductory, midyear and final sessions, during which the american and Scandinavian prokram directors work closely with each student ‘on matters related to his studies, experiences and progress. The focus of the serhinar program is the student’s independent study project in his special field of interest. More and more american colleges and universities are giving full or partial credit for the seminar year. The fee, covering tuition, room, board, one-way transportation and all course-connected travels is $2,500. A limited number of scholarship loans are available.

I am hopping mad about the paintings taken away from the engineering submarine tunnels. You would think that people would leave them there for everyone who’s able to enjoy them. Every time I walked by I got off especially on the feely one and the eskimo paisley, and I know my friends did too. It’s not fair that these are now, I suppose, warming the plaster in some private place where only a few people can see them. jim allan

Gazette apology format not entirely useless
“SUNNYDALE ESTATES” TOWN HOUSE l 3&4 bedroom OFridge aStove ’ aDryer l Broadloom aPlay Area ,
The folloying letter was refused publication by the Gazette. The Chevron, the only uncensored media on campus now prints the text plus the editor’s (Gazette‘s) comments in full.
I was amused and bewildered by your apology (“Editor apologizes for IS story”) in the december 8 issue of the Gazette, especially since ycxl retracted no statement in fact. Your apology contains the lines: “We think the story might well havemade reference, etc.“, and in the next paragraph, “We think the story might also have referred to the fact, etc.” These lines suggest that somebody rapped your knuckles and virtually dictated your “apology” to you, telling you how a “good” story on IS would have been written. As an example of journalistic integrity, therefore, your apology is something less than a shining testament. In another paragraph you say: “We also think it (the article > might have included reference to the fact that 10 faculty members from other disciplines of the university are members of the Senate Council for Integrated Studies’ ‘. Yet in your original article there is the line “There are five students, and one IS faculty member on the Senate Council for Integrated Studies.. .to let the other nine faculty members know what it is the students want”. And so you apologized for not saying what you did, in fact, say. This is surely the ultimate in cringing incompetence. Nevertheless, the format of your apology is of some use, put to different ends : l I think the story might well have made reference to the fact that Larry Kendall, who the Council recommended unanimously for full appointment, has, as his sole academic qualification a BA from Slippery Rock State College, and is an American citizen. l I think the story might well have made reference to the fact that the decisions of the committee were almost entirely based on a fifth-rate, cretinous brief, submitted by the “in-group”, and partly written by Larry Kendall. Not surprisingly, the brief absolutely oozes with love, admiration, and praise for that titanic scholar. l I think the story might well have made reference to the fact that George Haggar, who was fired, has a Ph.D in political science, has been a department Chairman elsewhere, and has a string of publications impressive by any decent standards. a And I think the story might well have made reference to the fact that, with Canadian Ph.D’s abounding, the move is-to hire abroad anyhow, under the guise that the students must be given exactly, and whatever they want. That is: To hell with academic standards. To hell with the graduates of our soon-to-be-lamented graduate programmes. To hell with the rights of Canadians in their own country.

‘Forcing : the process hastening growth of a plant by an artificial environment and the application of growth-promoting substances obtained from external sources. A forced plant tends to be less robust .‘-Philip Mathias According to Mr. Mathias, since the late 1950’s Canadian government has been moved by a socalled “development psychology”. The necessity to overcome regional economic disparities by means of publicly financed industry has seemed so certain that our governments both federal and provincial have tended to hand out money to *developers, no investigations attached. In three of the five examples Mr. Mathias analyses, governments have entered into contracts with corporations (four of which are foreign) without adequately checking their capability or the feasibility of the project. Mr. Mathias chooses his examples from five of Canada’s poorer provinces : Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Newfoundland, Prince Edward Island and Nova Scotia. The projects he deais with are two pulp mills built in Saskatchewan, the Churchill Forest Industries project in Manitoba, Newfoundland’s Churchill Falls hydro development, Prince Edward Island’s Gulf Garden Foods and the Glace Bay heavy water plant in Nova Scotia. Of these, the Churchill Falls and the Saskatchewan developments are the only ones which have succeeded at all. The Gulf Garden Foods study is just one illustration of a (provincial > government handing out money for development where about all it has to guarantee that the money will be used well is the
reputation of the developer. Here, ‘however, that reputation was not based on the experience of the developer, Moe Industries, but mostly on the salesmanship of Mr. Moe. The deal was that the government would put up $750,000-&i a $1 million fish processing plant and Moe would pay the rest. No investigation was made to see whether Moe could pay or even whether he could run the plant. In fact, Mr. Moe had been a sales engineer before Gulf Garden ; he had no experience in running a business. The man he hired to design his fish processing plant was a ship designer. Although he is reported to have been a good one he could not work out the critical parts of the plant-its electrical, mechanical and refrigeration systems. Therefore, C. D. Howe were called in although they had not had the necessary experience either (they were just a prominent Canadian firm of engineers,) and their costs were added to that of the ship designer! Costs rose too on Howe’s original estimate of the cost of the plant (from $1.6 million to $2.3 million) because the first estimate was based, knowingly, on incomplete information. Since the P.E.I. government was not checking on this pricing, it left itself vulnerable to paying almost anything that was requested. When Gulf Garden Foods went bankrupt, the government had paid out $9.3 million on a plant worth “at an optimistic estimate” $3.1 million. As happend with Gulf Garden so it went with Glace Bay and Churchill Forest Industries. The governments have I with woeful
naivetee entered expensive projects which so far have brought no return. It has been suggested that the governments for their own protection hire expert advice to help when negotiations are being carried out and to check ongoing development. So far such a move had been considered uneconomical but, as Mr. Mathias’ book shows, doing without an expert consultant has certainly contributed to the waste of hundreds of millions of dollars. One may wonder whether, considering the complexity of this sort of development, the governments would have saved themselves money and trouble by simply handing out the money to the people of the impoverished area instead of using it to try to build successful industries. Even should governments be able to hire the necessary expertise, the jobs provided by the developed industries require skills that people in the underdeveloped regions do not possess although at additional cost they might be> retrained. In Mathias’ studies, however, local labour was never hired on as grand a scale as the respective governments predicted, perhaps because the developers regarded the required quotas of local labour as too restrictive to fulfil in an’ already (for unaided private business) unviable project. The government in order to attract business must, of course, make some concessions to developers. It is Mr. Mathias’ point that what is supposed to be a partnership between government and business has too often become both literally and figuratively a one-man operation by the business corporations. ~

The Perth County Conspiracy’s second album, called “Alive” since it was taped at a performance, is hampered by too many flaws. For people who have been fairly regular listeners, this album is hurt more by what it could have been than what it is. The performance, at the Bathurst St. United church in Toronto, took place a year ago; and a lot of changes-mostly good-have happened to the Conspiracy since then. The best one is Michael, a pixiefaced tenor with a magical Neil Young-ish voice. Michael joined the group in its summer stand at the Black Swan boffee house in Stratford, and the change in the group’s sound was phenomenal. U&l then, the Conspiracy had three capable-vocalists in Cedric, Richard and Terry, but none could really carry the group to any kind of grabby sound which differed from other groups. Michael changed that, and his personality and the fragile, gentle songs he wrote added a new dimension to PCC’s presence. After hearing the Conspiracy’s music changed so much for the better last summer, it is hard to suddenly hear the same tunes without’ Michael’s voice on this “new” album. I don’t know the reasons for the delay in putting the album on the market, but it would have paid the group, I think, to have scrapped the old tapes and done the album fresh. After all, a year-old album pay? few musicians any compliments. The double album is fortunately priced as a one-record album, but with only 12-13 minutes on each side and all the stage patter, this seems about fair instead of much of a bargain. Besides, Perth County is not supposed to be a ripoff machine, right? They’re one of us, not one of them, right? Another unsettling aspect of the Conspiracy is its almost feudal treatment of women, but I’m not sure that’s fair game in assessing its music. The Conspiracy girlswives and girlfriends-are sometimes called to the stage in their act, but then only to sit at the feet of the men and chant the choruses of a song; never to share the spotlight. Also, the members of the group declare open season the Stratfora Shakespeare festival at all their performances. One of these attacks, a song called “Stratford People”, appears on the album. But this is basically a hypocritical attack on the part of
Two

Poems
the Conspiracy people, on two accounts. First, Cedric used to be a member of the troupe there, and it’s hard telling sincere criticism from sour grapes when he turns on it.. Second, the Conspiracy got a lot of money and exposure from the festival. Their annual picnics on the lawn at the opening performances have become almost pilgrimages for local hips, andmore. openly--the Black Swan probably couldn’t have operated this summer without the existence of the festival. The group always waited- until around midnight, when all the theatre patrons had come in from the plays, to start their sets. There was no set for those who came earlier, presumably because it wasn’t worth playing yet, financially. I So the Conspiracy leaves itself open when taking on the festival. Most of the music is original, and most of that quite good. “Stories of old”, “Pilgrim”, and “Welcome surprise” are all full-bodied, listenable songs, and the group’s crowd-pleaser “Uncle Jed”, is on the album as well, though it is the kind of song which is a natural “live” song and hard to transfer to a record. Dyltan’s “You ain’t goin’ nowhere”, which the group does quite well, and a poem of Milton Acorn’s are also included. But, a disastrous attempt at “theatre” called “hezekiah”, and the rap about the Stratford festival, just aren’t worth putting on a record. It’s hard to try to evaluate the Conspiracy, since they are so close. If a group I’d never heard of came out with year;old music, would I be hard on them for it? Obviously not, since I would not know it was a year old. I could only judge them on what was on the record. But the Conspiracy is close and, despite what some of the members would like, it does exist, and it sets its aims high and wide; so, it must be judged against the standards it sets itself. The group has had-and is having-its own internal problems, and often shows up these days without Cedric, which makes it really a different group than when he is with them. They are always worth seeing live however, despite the failures of their album. So, if you get a chance to see them, take it-in today’s musical world, trying not to exist is a very hard task, and any group that tries it deserves attention. -george

the ants forefoot part 1 And I sang this ballad In 1903 not knowing then That mv love’s the same As the beautiful Phoenix Which dying . one. night -. m Rises morning in rlames. This brief dedication to Paul Leautaud introduces a long ballad poem called The Song of the Ill-Beloved by Jonathan Cott (after Guillaume Appollinaire). It is published in England as an Ant’s Forefoot Eleventh Finger voiceprint edition in conjunction with the Canadian based Coach House Press. Cott’s images evoke a sense of the middle east, the mysteries of a biblical land which has for the past few thousand years captured the imagination of writers and priests alike. Gods and the hidden channels of love combine in an emotive synthesis each with its mystery and pain. A pain. A pain not furtive, seeking its own identity, sometimes hedonist sometimesX masochist, never a simple expression of either. Love is not tranquil and blessed. It cannot be shunned. The ill-beloved is every man, an existential expression of pain, of man seeking to combine with man .in love. Cott speaks of a pain that will not be stolen or appeased without its full expression. ’ Paul Evans has a short collection of poems in this series entitled True Grit. His expression is less mystical and ‘based more in the concrete whims of contemporary man. He expresses a frustration vaguely similar to nWVOUS~y smoking a very dry cigarette, the ignited tip of which falls off every time you flick the ash. His mind documents excursions through the Tate in search of lovely young ladies he could chance to meet wishing all the while that he could smoke cigarettes like other men. His style is dry, almost reminiscent of much of the campy literature currently being published but somehow having a clear

enough appreciation of his reality that he transcends the campy bog. At times Evans’ poetry appears quite naive, but upon closer examination one finds that what is passing for naivete is really an unadulterated and simple style. His amazement at the phenomena about him is not wantonly self-consumptive as seems to be the mode of much of the sub-cultural writing available. It is a descriptive wonder which bears some similarity to that of Borges. Evans often alludes to the ‘simple life’ where every desire will be gratified, and rapidly points out how boring it would be. He presents suffering and pleasure as compliments to each other. They are not dichotomous. In some ways he is an understater who captures the life around him and transposes it into symbols analysing the content and drawing it into workable form. A third contributor to the series and also the toronto correspondent for The Ant’s Forefoot is David Rosenberg. His poetry is typewriter poetry with its consistently staggered form. His integration of thoughts and images with the printed word is somewhat scattered with freeasso$ation leaving the reader to decipher his own vision. He has some very clever compositions which are a little bit cynical and a little bit nice but which I never found particularly moving. Perhaps I don’t free associate well enough. Destroyed

due to the publisher for presenting this one. Tristan Tzara was one of the founders of dada, and is the author of numerous dada manifestoes. In the mid twenties he broke from breton’s surrealism and his involvement was more with dada than surrealism. His writing nevertheless was in a dada-surrealist vein. “I do not believe in an earthly paradise. For at every stage of human evolution everything once again becomes an object to overcome. The individual affirms himself in the struggle, by the struggle.....You must have risked your life, been close to death to attain consciousness . . .. .And never a pause, never any ultimate peace, otherwise everything falls asleep around you and life crumbles away, becomes a wretched matter which consumes and annuls itself.” (Tzara, “Le surrealisme et l’apres-guerre”, 1947). Harwood, in’his introduction, disputes the claim made by Franklin Rosemont, a Chicago surrealist, in an earlier translation of Tzara’s poetry, that Tzara was a communist ‘party hack’. Tzara was an apolitical writer, but not in the description provided by Rosemont. The poems are neither mechanistic nor dogmatic. They describe the bitter condition of european man during the post-war years. A desolate condition can only be portrayed as it occurs. If Tzara is bitter he is so with good cause. To change a deplorable state of affairs one must understand the affairs, including the evil and the good, never apologizing for the evil by indicating all the good. This Tzara does. Tzara does not consume himself in the ugliness and bitterness he sets to paper. He recognizes it.
sometimes a great not ion Currently in film industry it seems that the integration of entertainment ie. pleasure, and critical relevance is no mean feat. Quite commonly, the worthwhile films are scarcely entertaining, and paying $1.75 for a bout of induced depression becomes repeti/I tive and tedious, especially when I can get my own free. Conversely, films which abortedly attempt to be light and unoppressive become just the opposite, falling stillborn from the screen upon my senses in their lack of significance. With Sometimes a Great Notion, we have an exception.‘ Cast in lush Oregon, a situation the cameramen exploited resulting in some beautiful filming, we begin to partake in the appealing story of the patriachical Stamper family, as adapted from Kesey’s book by the same title. In this community the livelihood common to all is wood-from the great trees of the Oregon forests, to the log rafts, to the marketplace. It is within this context that a most enjoyable exploration of man and his relationship to his work is conducted. Surrounded by a community on strike, the ‘scabbing’ Stampers, in spite of friendships and loyalties, continue their full-time project of ‘meeting those contracts’. A seemingly contemptible situ-
ation at first, one soon realizes that facile assumptions about the motives of the Stampers are insufficient. Rather than money-greed and hard-nosed competition, it’s the old 19th century work-ethic that explains their position. Old Henry, the patriarch who we come to know so well through Henry Fonda’s superb acting, and Hank his firstborn son, also played well by Paul Newman, come to typify this mentality which so obviously and thoroughly permeates every level of their existences. The day of the small family business nearly dead due to the machinations of 20th century technology, the Stamper’s way of life is now more the exception than the rule. The basis of their lives is of a functional, I practical nature; the involvement with their labour is direct and unhampered by the mediations of union or company control. This self-sufficiency and reliance on individual initiative explains their candid realism in any situation, and makes the familial arrangement far more total. The nuclear family, held together mainly through tradition and some kind of duty love amongst its members, becomes extended to include cousins and other relatives, dependent on each other for their lives, through work
Harry and Maude Can a 20 year-old invert find happiness with an 80 year-old extrovert? That’s the theme of Harold and Maude, a new film which deals with the ultimate in generation gaps at the same time as it proposes the age-old solution “Love will find a way.” Bud Cort is “Harold,” a poor little rich boy whose mommy is so unloving that even his realistically faked suicide attempts have ceased to move her. In the opening scene, Harold appears to be hanging himself from a chandelier, but the viewer’s shocked reaction is quickly deflated by mom, who informs her swinging son that ‘Dinner is at eight-don’t be late.’ Ruth Gordon is “Maude,” a happy old soul who introduces Harold to the world of beautiful thoughts and feelings. Their January-December romance begins when they meet at a funeral-attending the last rites of strangers being a mutual interest-and Maudie takes Harold home for tea. Eventually they become lovers, after which Maude decides that her time has come, and commits suicide. The now “liberated” Harold almost follows, but reconsiders and strums his banjo into the sunset:Fadeout. Director Hal Ashby revealed a flair for unconventional comedy in The Landlord, and Harold and Maude contains some equally fine moments of total irreverence. Against the background of Harold’s icons of social acceptability-a socialite mother, a fascistic uncle, and an uptight psychiatrist-his love for Maude becomes an increasingly logical solution, as well as a valid metaphor for his plight.

the relationship, Hank and Viv (Lee Remick) as example. All is dictated to by necessity; they participate in each other’s lives to the degree that they need each other. She takes care of his ‘masculine’ needs-his voracious appetite, his . sexuality ; he keeps her physically comfortable through his bodily labour, and minimally content. All this is assumed. The chauvinism does not extend beyond their very basic practical roles for each other, and for this reason their relation is probably more honest. There is no double standard in conceptualization of things or in self expression, no ‘softnin’ up for the sake of the little lady’-a screw is a screw, absolutely and irrevocably, regardless of who is listening. Which makes a man and a woman with similar country roots conceptually closer, (less schizophrenic > than us sophisticated city-slicks with elaborately made-up roles.

Whereas The Loved One, for example, plays with our dotting the riverside in awe of Hank Stamper’s determination fear of death and attempts to comfort us by depicting it as an elaborately and ability to lead 4 log rafts down staged joke, Harold and Maude treats it as a serious, but natural, the twining river almost singlephenomenon which must be confronted and integrated into one’s life.

and play. Their lives they do control, which influences the work they do positively , no matter how menial the task. Juxtaposed to this set of conditions and people, is the strikers, and here comes the propaganda. Initially where one’s sympathies lie, the striker’s role within the film evolves through various stages to the point where they are a nondescript amorphous mass of people made to look foolish in their predicament of hunger and superalienation due to a union vote. It is unclear as to whether or not Kesey , who wrote this book years ago and perhaps wouldn’t today, is directing his criticisms at unions as presently existing-an extension of the company itself rather than a worker’s advantage-which is where they legitimately lie, or at the concept of unions per se. (What we should be striving for it seems is the vigour and life and immediacy of the Stamper family’s, in a unionized situation with the solidarity of both.) Which is why I personally felt in conflict. The movie is capable of putting
you in that position in several ways. While viewing the positive aspects of people being into their work and each other as the Stampers were, you also sense the constriction of tradition and lack of alternatives for someone in that family. While chuckling in the hilarity of their brutally frank, quick senses of humour, you can’t help but at another level feel those quips to be illustrative of a narrow and bigoted, albeit secure and strong mentality. And while familial bonds are fundamental, it is obvious that this solidarity is exclusive in that, should a difference of opinion occur, there are no compromises made, (‘never give a inch’ was the family slogan) but only courteous distances which allow for those differences.

modern Midway Mistress, man; Candlelight cents.
muster
of sensuality
by Hart BwBooks, 1964, 75
Hart Burman, a novelist almost universally neglected by professional critics today, will someday claim the praise due his works. His uncompromisingly descriotive use of metaphor and lush imagery and the nearShakespearean sense of structure set him apart from today’s “angry young men” who string together bitter stream-of -consciousness diatribes and call them novels. Some time from now, in perspective, Burman will be seen as one of the few true novelists of our troubled times. “Midway Mistress”, ignored by ‘all but a small following since it came out seven years ago, is probably one of Burman’s tightest and most representative works. In “Midway Mistress”, his use of major characters to symbolize -_ vast numbers of common persons and ways of life is probably at its strongest. Bill, the ruthless-in-business “tough” guy, speaks for the egoistic, inarticulate male who, in an age of technological advance and fast change, clings tenasiously to his old individualism. He is the king of his jungle-the carny world-and tries blindly to exert that dominance over all in view who might challenge it-his competitors, the people who work for him, and the perplexing woman who comes into his life and calls the shots her own way rather than . fall easily into his bed. Connie, the woman who challenges Bill’s male illusions, is a true woman of the modern enlightenment. She comes to Bill’s carnival asking for a job, but in reality she demands a job on her own terms and gets it. “Male lust” explored She uses Bill’s ego and male lust as an instrument against him, knowing exactly when to give in just enough to keep him interested and when she can demand things she wants. She makes it clear that she is completely independent of Bill and his “precious gift” of sex. The only other major character in the book is “Dot”, the amiable and trustable old hand at the carny, constantly using his good sense and humor to keep explosive situations created by Bill’s abrasiveness from reaching a boiling point. -. Dot 1s the kind of regular, goodhearted man you will find in almost any group, trusted and liked by almost all and forever keeping those around him from each others’ throats. Bill walks over a lot of people on his way to owning the carnival, including many who now are forced to work for him at cheap wages. And he never stops letting them all know who is the master. So, it is not amazing that they are united in their efforts to find a way to unseat him. And Connie, it seems, is the.way. Attraction-repulsion The more Connie resists and stands up to Bill, the more he becomes attracted to her, and the less time he spends with the more easily-dominated carny girls. And, slowly, painfully, Burman reveals Bill in this book a$ the eternal sympathetic character of modern society : the frightened, bluffing little boy who tries to
protect himself by erecting anemotional barrier around himself. Bill’s enemies see in his eventual emotional dependency on Connie the chink in his armor. At the same time, it becomes apparent (to the readers> that Connie is merely using Bill and the carnival for material for a book she is writing, and she is really attached to someone named Ken, to whom she writes back in New York. But Bill is oblivious to all these forces leading him, unerringly, to his doom. He sees only the domination of the carny world he knows and, more importantly, his conquest of Connie. At last, Connie gives in to his sexual advances one night, although Burman cleverly shows that it is Connie who is always in charge, always calling the shots: “It was a little like being drunk, and he stared down at the slim arms, passive in his grip. She seemed to be wavering back and forth until he realized that it was he who was swaying slightly. He opened his hands quickly, feeling the sting of his cuts, and he saw that her negligee had come apart and there was nothing under it extent the honev-toned swell of her breasts, and &ddenly there was the violent, compulsive need to feel
the sweetness of that smooth flesh beneath his lips, to breathe the faint fragrance of her clean smell so that it was like a slow explosion within him making a tight constriction about his loins and churning with a crying, aching hunger in his belly. “He didn’t realize that his hands were pulling at the negligee until Connie’s voice cut sharply through to him. “‘Don’t tear it, Bill,’ she said, and he felt her hands restraining him.” - “Gripping description” Few contemporary authors retain the passion for gripping description which Burman displays in passages such as these. In another passage, Connie again asserts her power over Bill when he forces her into sex by his physical superiority, but she conquers him in the end by her psychological superiority. “They were wafted completely from the earth on a cloud of desire, wildly pleasant emotions and a mutual fulfillment that brought harsh moans from them and a panting satisfaction from her. Suddenly she pushed him off. “...she turned over and slept. She had given all of herself to him and yet nothing. The hunger that gnawed at his loins was unsated,

his need unfulfilled as yet.” In this, Bill iz-shown as modern man, just learning to give up his cave-man view of sex as a male sport in which women are only equipment of the game. It is only poetic justice, then, when Bill is destroyed by Connie emotionally; he has used others physically and caused their downfall, an4 now Connie has used him emotionally, and caused his doom. At the end of the book, Bill dies at the hands of those he has abused, at the height of a windstorm in a passage of eloquent poetry unrivalled by today’s writers. Bill was toppled from his mountain when his enemies revealed to him that Ken, Connie’s lover, is another woman. Bill dies, a dinosaur in anguish because he couldn’t change to fit the requirements of a new world; he dies with the winds of change tearing apart his big carnival tent-the symbol of his old world in which he was master: “...a wild, animal scream ripped from Bill’s throat as he felt the bite of steel. Then, like th&-blap of ,doom, came another crash of thunder and the crack of splintering wo0.d almost covering a last cry from Dot, who was killed by the other elements of nature as Bill died by the ones he had created so unnaturally.” Autobiographical material is hard to find on Burman, though hopefully the information will grow as his small group of followers grows into the large readership this genius deserves. -G

The annual guest lecture series sponsored by the school of urban and regional planning has been augmented by the addition of one more speaker for the winter term. Allan O’Brien--a special lecturer from the department of political science of the university of western Ontario, has been added into the schedule on January 20. He will be talking on the title of “implementing an urban policy: intergovernmental work relations.” The planning guest lecture series consists of about ten’ speakersfive in each term-who talk to a specific theme in planning. The series has been running successfully for three years with professionals and academics presenting their theories and experiences to what at times can be a critical and hostile audience. The presentations are followed by a wine and cheese reception in MC 5136 at which professors and students get mutually inebriated and make up for tedious hours of classes. The theme the series is following this year is the establishment and implementation of a social policy for urban renewal and development. The series was started off by Harvey Lithwick-the author of the government’s report ‘problems and prospects’. He criticized the federal government for being unable to 0 change its bureaucracy in such a way as to be able to handle the increasing problems of urban areas. Lithwick was followed by others some as interesting, some not. The schedule for this term was started by Nathan Epstein, professor and chairman, dept of psychiatry, McMaster university, on “an urban policy and social issues” on thur jan 13. Allan O’Brien, special lecturer of the dept of political science, university of western Ontario, will be speaking on “implementing an urban policy : intergovernmental working relations” on thur jan 20. On thur jan 27, Walter F Terry, executive vice-president, James W. Rouse and co., inc. Columbia, Maryland, will be speaking on “financing community development”. On thur feb 10, James I Stewart land economist, lawyer, and special lecturer, dept of urban and regional planning, university of Toronto, will be speaking on “land issues in urban development”. Finally on thur mar 2, George R Francis, professor and chairman, dept of man-environment studies, university of Waterloo, will be speaking on “man-environment studies and an urban policy for Canada”.

If you’ve

Then again if you’ve never heard Humble Pie play but you maybe have heard of them and you are into the particular brand of hard stuff that H.P. pushes, then you may really enjof this album. This is basically an album for all you pie people, and those willing to shell the money for a double album with only one decent album out of two. The first album (sides one and four) is the only album worth buying; the other could be used as a frisbee or whatever you’ve secretly wanted to do with an album. Rock On album,

incidentally, by Ray Charles. He should have kept it to himself. That leaves only four songs, and while half of these aren’t too bad, the other two are excellent. The two good songs are the opening song called “Four Day Creep”, and the closing cut called “I Don’t Need No Doctor”. The other songs have appeared on their other albums and in better versions.
I suppose the record companies figure that a live recording isn’t complete unless it contains at least two albums, but it is too bad they didn’t try to break some new ground with this record. The record I feel brings down the performance contains only two songs, both very long, and both as bad as they are long. One of the songs is “Rolling Stone” which at 16 minutes makes it about 14 minutes too long. The other song is “I Walk on Gilded Splinters”, and this song is only 24 minutes in length-it just seems like an hour.
Well that’s about all I can say about the music, which leaves me to conclude with this warning: if you should decide to buy this album, don’t listen to sides two or three at all, cuz if you do their The only other cut I didn’t feel liable to bum you out for the rest of helped the record was “Hallelujah the record, and you’ll feel pretty I Love Her So”, a song written, 3 ripped off.

JC Superstar Often in this age of mass media and mass promotion .of concerts theater etc. one has a preconceived idea of how the event he is about to witness will affect him. Often this biases the person’s judgement of the event. Saturday night, Jesus Christ Superstar a rock opera, came to Kitchener auditorium. To many, the idea of a rock opera, (ideas mainly conceived from the rock opera hair, > and the portrayal of a religious event just do not seem to be compatible. In the performance Saturday the religious content of the opera could have gone largely unnoticed, due mainly to the overwhelming power of the vocalists, and the very pleasing asthetics of the stage. Also helping
to de-emphasize the religious aspect was the fact that only Jesus Christ was dressed for his role; he wore a robe, while the others all wore street clothes.
does the broadway production, but this again places more emphasis on the vocal and lyrical part of the opera. At no point in the production does the staging detract from the vocal quality, but it does at times lessen the tension by a sudden bit of dancing by one of the high priests and again by Judas in the last act. One of the high points was Mary Magdalene’s “I Don’t Know How to Love Him”, and perhaps one of the most pleasing optical effects was near the end when in a darkened auditorium the audience was surrounded by a revolving mass of star-like, light bursts. After the standing ovation, and acknowledgments, the cast sang an encore of Jesus Christ Superstar.
Jesus Christ Superstar was originally composed as an opera with the music by Andrew Lloyd Weber and the words by Tim Rice, and as such there were no staging instructions written with the opera. The a staging and choreography are therefore left up to the company that is staging the production. There are, however, only two authorised road companies and one authorised broadway production, and about eighty “pirate road companies” according to the production manager of Saturday’s rock opera. The road companies have a more limited amount of staging than

If you are what--you Walk down the aisles of any supermarket, and you see that it’s harder than ever to find food that hasn’t been doctored up with artificial flavors, colors and other ingredients that make it easier for the manufacturers to mass produce. The food industry is the single largest retail industry in North America, grossing over 125 billion dollars a year. But a huge slice of its profits comes from using products that have no nutritional value, and may, in fact, be dangerous to your health. Bread manufacturers, for example, chemically “mature” flour to make a uniform, easy-mixing, impotent white powder void of its original nutrition. If thiamine, riboflavin, vitamin D, niacin, calcium and iron originally-removed by this process are put back into the bread, then the flour is advertised as “enriched”. In order to avoid gunking up the machinery, industry doesn’t use fresh eggs, but dried egg solrds treated with silicate- to make them free-flowing. Gluten is added, which is a product of the chemical breakdown of starch, to make the bread lighter and easier to work with in the factory. Since homemade bread .with its more natural ingredients doesn’t lend itself to such things as wrapping around hot dogs, commercial manufacturers add chemical softeners to keep their bread flexible. Even more chemicals are added to keep the bread from going rancid during its stay in the store, and other chemical additives are included to give the bread a “good” feel to prevent crumbling and to keep mold from growing.
“Mature”
flour
‘only
One of the original chemicals used to “mature” flour, called Agene, was finally banned after experiments found that it caused running fits in dogs. Not all potentially dangerous or actually dangerous chemicals have been exposed yet, and other chemicals that have been reputed by scientific examination to be possible health risks, are still widely used in commercially prepared food. The mass-produced food we eat may be protected in a sterile cellophane wrapper, but it often has the potential for serious long-range damage. Cyclamates, art if icia I sweeteners, were suspected of having potential cancer-producing properties for years before the government finally declared their danger. Food and Drug Administration tests in the U.S. in 1950 showed a high frequency of lung tumors and other rare malignant growths in experimental animals, but they allowed a drug application for Sucaryl Sodium anyway. The basis of FDA practice has been described as “‘innocent until proven guilty”.

In 1966 Japanese scientists discovered that cyclamates were transformed in the body to form a compound which has in some cases, produced abnormalities in embryos similar to those produced by thalidomide. Nothing was done until 1969 when FDA scientists reported similar findings. Cyclamates were finally removed from the federal list of Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) ingredients in 1969. Products using cyclamates were required to be removed from the market by the fall of 1970. It is estimated that, in the 1960’s, more than 75 per cent of the U.S. population used cyclamates as sweeteners. The GRAS list was first compiled in 1919 when the FDA used the responses of 355 out of 900 scientists who replied to an FDA questionnaire on food chemical additives. The original validity of the by Ralph Nader’s _ GRAS list has been criticized group because only 194 of the replying scientist either had no comment or concurred that the listed compounds were indeed GRAS. The cyclamate issue condemned more than a billion dollars worth of merchandise. Their manufacturers have appealed to the government for reimbursement, and it is reported that in one case, products containing cyclamates have been shipped off to that reliable receptacle of Americana, Southeast Asia. Monosodium Gfutjmate, which “accents” the taste of just about everything, has also been found to be hazardous by scientists. When young mice were either fed or injected with MSG they _ developed a peculiar abnormality of the brain. These results prompted the experimenter, Dr. John Olney, to suggest that MSG should be restricted from use in baby foods-one of its biggest users. At first, Gerber ridiculed the idea, but due to the resultant bad publicity, they stopped using MSG for ,, the most part.
Chinese
Restaurant
Syndrome
The infamous “Chinese Restaurant Syndrome” is so named because it is often associated with ,eating commercial Chinese food that contains MSG. The symptoms are facial pressure, burning sensations and chest pains. Not everybody develops the syndrome, but it is definitely produced in certain individuals after eating quantities of MSG the american manufacturers of the chemical say are safe. FDA now requires that MSG be identified by name on food packages, but does not restrict its use otherwise. About 60 million pounds of MSG are sold in the US each year; equal to almost one third of a pound a person. Most natural color additives are GRAS, but the FDA also recognizes almost 100 certified colors, whereas Canada allows only 15 and the USSR only three. Trade journals for the food industry advertise imitation foods, assuring the turers that customers will never know ference between the real thing and the Two-page spreads of tasty pies, cakes, cheeses and breads are lauded as the end of ersatz eggs, butter, milk and flavoring.

The american food industry doesn’t keep to home-either. It perpetuates its hoax on an international scale as well. The baby food industry, for example, has been advertising and selling its solid foods and enriched milk products for years overseas and Canada. An article published recently in a trade journal called Food Technology, describes the tragic effects of selling products designed for use in North America when they are sold to places where modern utilities don’t exist. When the canned baby food is used, it is “almost

Counselling services is starting several new programs specifically for couples. Four different kinds of programs will be offered during this winter term in an effort to meet as many needs of couples as possible. One program directed toward women, is a series of talks about various areas of home management and personal development, for example, grooming, cooking, budgeting, decorating. Participants in this series will join in the planning of topics to be covered. A second program is planned primarily for mothers and expectant mothers who would like help with child management techniques. Various phases of child development and other areas of the parent-child relationship will be explored. A third program will be a group for couples interested in improving their interpersonal communication and in getting along better. The focus of the group will be to help couples become aware of how they communicate, how they can improve this, and how they can try out new ways of communication with other couples. Groups will consist of 3 or 4 couples plus counsellors. The fourth program is a lo-week study course for parents. It is designed to help them understand everyday child behavior and how to respond to it. It is anticipated that participation in this program will be by couples-. These programs are the first designed by the counselling service specifically for married students and couples in the university community. Anyone interested is invited to call the counselling services at extension ,2655 for further information by Tuesday.

Effective January 1, 1972, the premiums for OHSIP (doctor’s bills) and OHS (hospital charges) have been consolidated and become OHIP (Ontario Health Insurances Plan) premiums. The new OHIP premiums are lower than the combined OHSIP and OHS premiums. The new premium schedule and costsharing arrangements between the university of Waterloo and the members will be communicated to the members shortly. However, under the OHIP regulations, some members of the university of Waterloo will be entitled to full or partial premium assistance. For example, assistance may be available to members such as graduate students, post-doctoral fellows, temporary or part-time members (either faculty or staff), etc. Premium assistance will generally be allowed if the member satisfies the following conditions : 1) has been a resident of Ontario for twelve (12) consecutive months and, 2) has an estimated taxable income for 1972 of less than $l,OOO.OO if single, or less than $2,060.00 if married. others than those Members, listed in the examples above, may also be eligible for premium assistance if they satisfy the two conditions listed. Communicating with all members associated, in one way or another, with the university of Waterloo, is extremely difficult because of the divergent activities and many locations involved. A notice has been sent to many who may be eligible for premium assistance but there may well be others to whom this financial assistance should be g)ven. If any member feels that he or she may qualify for premium assistance, he or she may contact the personnel department for further information.

Abortion a, movable by bill lindsay the chevron _
“Consider: at what age would you cut off a child’s life in utero?” Arts student Ian McLean has organized an informal group which asked this question graphically monday in the arts lecture building. “Their sensationalism made me ill,” said one person who looked over their exhibit. It consisted of photographs of aborted babies and a minimum of written comment. The pictures, for the most part, were allowed to speak for themselves and, in the opinion of some, spoke too loudly. Another commented: “I can’t tell whether you’re pro or con.” Ian McLean says this is the reaction he is trying to get. His
egiftware @chinaware
fetus demonstration was aimed at people who .are not solidly committed either for or against abortion. The medical aspects of abortion which are rarely presented were emphasized rather than the cloudier moral side. McLean’s group has no religious affiliation and receives no financial support for its endeavours. Information materials are on sale however to those whose interest has been sparked. Further “awareness” exhibits are planned on mondays and Wednesdays in weeks to follow, either in the campus center or math building. * A guest speaker, Dr. Heather Morris has been invited to speak on campus on 26 january in Eng.

been an excellent season. Doug Maclean, Paul Dunning and John Cushing only lost by narrow margins all being edged 3-Z in games. John Fredrick met a tough opponent in John Boyton from western and lost 3-1. Abe Ibraham emerged as the only’ Waterloo winner with a 3-1 win. These five players have represented the team throughout the season but they can expect some tough competition in the next few weeks for the top five spots from the other squash players. The team had a lot more depth this year and they are getting stronger with each match. A lot of credit goes to the new coach this year, Sandy Morgan, who has instilled a lot of enthusiasm in the players for the . upcoming invitational tourthe other nament against universities. Next friday there is the Waterloo invitational and this may. just be a preview of the upcoming O.U.A.A. tournament to be held later this term. (more information later >. For all those people playing squash at this university, this will be an excelleht opportunity to watch some excellent squash. It would be nice, however, if the athletic department would finish repairing the courts in time for the upcoming tournaments. They are in dire need of repair.
York plan
iocks meet
The long lay-off in track and field for Canadian college athletes is to be no more if two university students from the York institution in Toronto have their way. Dave Smith and Ken Hamilton, both students at York have organized the first college indoor meet to be held tomorrow _at the south industries building of the Canadian national exhibition on the new track facility. The student-organizers have invited all Ontario universities and hope to also host a team from the Detroit area. The toronto daily star sees the warriors as the team to beat, but think western has a chance to depose the four-time-conferencechampions from Waterloo. Other sources indicate that the contingent from Queens will be the only close competition for the warriors. With their strength in the distance events, western are out of luck during the indoor season because only two distance races are featured on an indoor card. The sprinting strength of the golden gaels on the other hand may prove to be the strong-key to possible victory over the warriors. The Waterloo trackmen are not saying much except that they have just begun indoor work and ‘expect to do well’ although they are ‘not quite together yet’. OUAA quarter mile champion Al Monks will lead the short sprinters into the fray with good back-up efforts by George Neeland in the hurdles and Dennis McGann in the long jump. Both those warriors won their respective events in the OUAA championships also. Strong bids byToronto and York are expected to threaten the Warrior supremacy.

The chevron has learned that exwarrior dave farago who transferred to the guelph gryphons hockey club this year has resigned from the squad as of last weekend. The loss of one of the leagues top scorers will definately hurt the gryphons in their game here next Saturday, the 22nd. While still on hockey, the big number 9, markhowe has been invited to play for the us of a in the sapporo winter Olympics. He first will have to obtain permission from his educational institutionlathrup high. Howe is just sixteen but talent runs in the family. The laurentian university cross country threesome of lorne lahta, darrel frank and mati saarinen won the intercollegiate trophy for the muskoka 30-kilometer skiing race last weekend in huntsville. Some 600 students from around the world will be heading to lake placid ny next month for the world university winter games. Some 25 countries will be sending athletes to compete in eleven different events. Included on the programme is alpine skiing, downhill slalom and giant slalom; nordic skiing, and jumping, speed skating, figure skating (singles, pairs and dance> along with hockey. Canada’s best chances at the 7th winter games will be in hockeybut watch out for the russiansand possibly in alpine skiing. The speed skaters from out west who train on the frozen ponds when it’s fifty below will no doubt give it a good shot , but the more experienced europeans and russians will likely dominate here. The CIAU is now in the process of letting everyone know who will be competing at plattsburgh from february 26th to march 5th, however word has it that it is unlikely any of this year’s crop of uniwat athletes will be in the heat of competition.
Reasons for the toll on the fixture list is the impossibility of securing top competitors for each meet. The telegram indoor games seemed fated for the same demise with the folding of that newspaper until the toronto star decided to jump into the sport scene and now the meet will be the toronto daily star-maple leaf games. The warriors seem not to be prepared for the early staging of this year’s extravaganza. George neeland will trip to toronto this weekend for the trials and hopes to be included in the all-star lineup for the sprint hurdle race. Neeland has been included in the last three or so years.

Well, it seems the uniwat athletic department is not the place to rob if anyone has ideas. With the under-enrollment here this year the department was given $14,253 less than last season. Add to this a loss of possibly $4,000 due to the fact students could register by mail and avoid the jock shop (the only source of season tickets) and you’re down $18,253. When you subtract $10,000 leeway allowance they’re still in the red some $8,000. Now what do you ‘do? Some would suggest selling the footballs while others have thought about doing away with the athletes banquet and honor awards. This latter idea would save $2,000. Now what else could we eliminate to save six grand. Well, let us all think. Money,
Another interesting sidenote is the fact that there is no intercollegiate sports in Europe and many competitors will be coming straight back from the Olympics. Curling, the one sport which the canucks could dominate is absent from both the Olympics and the student winter games. Maybe the federation ‘internationale du sport universiade considers the game more of a pleasurable pastime than a sport! Back to the 11th winter Olympics to be staged from february 3-13 in sapporo, some 1,274 athletes from 35 different countries will be out looking for gold.

Obvious questions arising are :would this be a temporary measure until full court facilities can be built, or just another token solution to place this particular facility farther down the priority list on the building budget? Would students be first in line for use, especially during the winter months of would the tennis club members be first for use of the facility? Where will the javelin throwers chuck their implements, and the high jumpers leap? Where would the football team do the equipment-using aspect of their work-outs?

The uniwat swim teams are invading foreign waters this weekend. The ‘Waterloo Swimmen’ Women’ are taking on the rest of the OWUAA league at the Guelph relay meet while the Warriors are off to Windsor for a double-dual meet in the boarder city. Next weekend will be the really big one for home fans as the men’s squad plays host to Oakland University from Detroit, on Friday night. On Saturday Canada’s best women’s college meet will take place from noon until 10 pm. In just three short years the Waterloo Women’s International Invitational has become the meet to attend and last year attracted teams from around the continent. Arizona, the defending meet champions, and the number one team in the U.S. will be missing from this years competition because the American College finals are slated for Cleveland and two cross country trips are too much for the budget. To date, however, at least fourteen teams from both the U.S. and Canada have registered and more are likely in the next few days. The team to beat this year is Lake Forest Collegefrom Chicago.

Turning to the seasons first national swimming standings, the Warriors have placed the majority of the squad in the top fifteen places. Eric Robinson had the fastest time in the country in the 200 yard backstroke, and was fifth in the 200 IM. Karl Brubaker placed consistently high in the freestyle events. He was third fastest in the 50 free, ranked second in the 200, and sixth in the 100 freestyle. Distance swimmers George Roy and Rolfe McEwan placed second and third in the loo&yard freestyle. George Saunders, wrestler turned swimmer last fall, was ranked a solid ninth. Waterloo’s free relay team also placed third on the basis of their good showing. in Kingston in November. Their time was a 3:33.4.

-Ma&men tnbef Eleven wrestling squads converged on Kingston, Ontario for the Queens university invitational last weekend. Six canadian university teams were featured al_ong with five from the united states. The warriors, dkfending league champions, were well below their capabilities and managed to win only two first place finishes and two seconds. John Barry and Pat Bolger accounted for the honors while Don Spink and Jim Skelly claimed the second place positions. Below is a report received, for which the chevron sport department claims absolutely no credit: 118 pounds-‘Cue ball’ Duncan: In his first meet with the warriors, Duncan, had only worked with the team three days prior to’ the tournament. He lost a decision, lost on a pin, however, that’s understandable because he lost ten pounds during the previous week. Duncan looks good for the future. 126 pounds-Jim Skelly. Wrestling in his freshman year, Skelly looked tough throughout the competition winning three out of three bouts and eventually losing to the Canadian greco-roman champion. 134 pounds-John Barry Three American wrestlers and two Canadians fell to Barry as he took top honors in his weight class. His plans for the future include an attempt to make the 126 pound weight group this year. 142 pounds-Tim Witzel. Highly favoured to win over Howe from Guelph, Witzel lost that bout and had to settle for a fourth.’ place position. 150 pounds-Pat Bolgel: As Barry did, Bolger ran over three Americans and two Canadians on his way to the ,,
their
mafch
tournament championship. Once again, the grappler from Dutton, Ontario proved himself to be one of Canada’s outstanding athletes. Pat was heard to comment “Christ, they never had monsters like that back on the farm.” 157 pounds-Don Spink Donny wrestled well but couldn’t quite contain the New York statechampion and had to settle for a second place position. Himself an american, Spink is rapidly becoming one of the team’s mainstays. 168 pounds-Pat McKinty. What can one say about a rookie who is about to be a father? Pat has proved himself to be the one of the teams top rookies. He has already won the Ontario novice championship and shows improvement daily. His two wins and two losses, however, weren’t enough to earn him a placing position. 177 pounds-Tom Gutosky Tom beat one american, lost two very close matches and also got beat for pizza and mix. When this rookie gets in shape he should start decapitating people. Heavyweight-Scott Marshall Once Scott gets-rout to practice, the team expects great things from him. Arriving in Kingston from a ski trip, he wrestled well winning one and losing two very closely contested battles. Coach-Kurt Boese. The team leader put in an admirable performance as chauffeur and chaperone. He was quite amazed by the Waterloo performance both on and off the mats. Next big meet for the grapplers will be in Guelph next weekend for the Gryphon invitational. Lotsa big teams entered and lotsa *good competition. . + .~-. -_ PI I -. -I,,, ;
The Warriors didn’t fare too well on the U.S. tour but those same losers returned Wednesday night to the jock shop auditorium to show that they still had the strength to be ranked number one in this nation. ’ Hosting the Western Mustangs they extended their undefeated record in league play to three. The galloping Mustangs plodded back to London after being defeated 99-90. Both teams started slow and neither could aggregate a substantial lead. After ten minutes of uninteresting play Jaan Laaniste who had missed on his first three attempts potted ten .of his next twelve and sparked the Warriors to a 61-47 half time lead. The second half started not with the customary jump ball but with a foul shot awarded to the home squad because the ‘stangs bench was charged with a technical foul for that foulest of foul deeds namely letting an abominable curse slip from their lips. Tommy Kieswetter appointed to the task, slipped the slippery sphere through the hoop to extend the Warriors lead to 15 points. From then on things were, as

Joker would say ‘nip and tuck’ for 1the dribblers, as they watched their margin dwindle until the purple gang were within one point with about eight minutes to go. Things were still tense with the Warriors leading by four with two minutes to go. However Western had run into foul trouble in a matter of seconds four of their five starters had been sentenced to the bench with five infractions each. From then on the uniwat squad stretched their slim lead to nine at the final whistle. For Western Marnix Heersink and Raoul Kreeke had 22 points each and little five-foot-six guard Larry Archibald out-foxed the Waterloo

Our own Athenas, second ie the p tournament last y?ar, will be a definite threat to the Toronto girls. Working hard for the past two weeks, they should be in top condition to meet any team.

Warriors for thirteen points. Captain Jaan Laaniste led his squad of hot-shots with a big 36 points, shooting 64 percent from the court. Paul Bilewicz added 14 points to the tally and dragged in ten rebounds to lead both teams in that category. Phil Schlote also played a fine game and netted nine points for the cause. Almost the whole team scored and again it was the squad’s great bench strength along with the 84 percent shooting from the foul line that pulled them through. On Saturday night the Warriors will play the Brock contingent in another home game slated to go at 8: 15, as usua’l.

On Sunday the 9th, the Warriors faced the Laurentian university Voyageurs (Vees) and ‘had an opportunity to secure a chunk of first place, (presently occupied by Lutheran and Western each with 10 points, the Warriors are next with 8). The televised contest was a bone crusher and a -hell of a hockey. game until midway through the’ second period when the lights went out.. .literally . You see, the opening period saw the Warriors run all over the Vees, led by gutsy Roger Kropf, veteran John Hall (the old man on the team), and goalie Doug Snoddy. Kropf maintained his team scoring lead with the opening goal assisted by Hall. Mature John then triggered one himself, assisted by rookie Ted Porter at 17 :44. The machine awesome Warrior cracked one more on a Bobby Hull patented blast mastered by Jim Morris. Assists on that bullet went and to linemates Stinson Nickleson. Doug Snoddy was masterful in the nets, including numerous close in drives and a breakaway, but he held the Vees scoreless. In the second period, the air cleared and the lights stayed on, but the Vopageurs had somehow scored 8 consecutive goals! Early in that second period the Warriors were still leading 3-O and pressing the Vees in their own end when the lights went out in the whole arena ! ! After a ten minute delay, during which time the Warriors headed for the potty, the
in stretch Voyageurs came back with 2 goals in less than a minute and a half. Then Richardson of Laurentian fired the equalizer before anyone realized the Warriors were skating around with their pants down. Then the going got, really rough. The Voyageurs picked on speedy Roger Kropf and knocked hell out of him three or four times (one time into semiconsciousness). Ted Porter pasted one fellow and received a high stick in the mouth (good for five stitches) for his effort. The Warriors appeared to be gaining when the same old routine occurred.. .the lights went Dut! (It was sheepishly announced that the TV cameras were drawing off too much power “now and then”). The delay allowed the Warriors to continue their act and allowed the Vees to regroup, and when the lights came on there they were lined up in front of the Warrior net. Before the Warriors could get the rag out the Vees scored 2 goals in a mere 7 second span. To make a long story longer the third period was full of the same crap, Voyageurs scored three more (one of them came when we had a 2 man advantage! > Finally Nick broke the Voyageur skein at 8 with a neat goal assisted by Dave (Euker > Simpson and what-wasleft-of Roger Kropf . Bill Stinson continued to shine as Rookie-of-the-Year potential with the game’s closing goal assisted by bed-buddies Phil and Dave. The Warriors are 2 points out of first place with a game in hand so they are still in good shape to finish lor2.

minutes giving the fans thoughts of. a close battle, but the tempo never continued and by the half, the warriors trailed by at least twelve points. The second half continued as had the last-part-of-the-first and the lead usually widened-the1 closest of these being a 85-65 loss to South Alabama. Continually, the warriors ran onto the floor only to face taller teams and having to resort to defensive play to restrain the opposition. As the going got a bit tenser, the US players began getting inside the warrior defense. Scrappy defensive maneuvers resulted in foul trouble for the Waterloo group. In one such instance during the Samford University encounter, an altercation occurred which resulted in both benches emptying and a non productive push-shove ‘fight’ scene. Outside shooting was the order of the evening on all occasions as the warrior offense failed to penetrate the tough yank defenses. Jaan Laaniste led the shooting averaging 20 points during the tour with various warriors assisting on each occassion. Tom K&wetter and Paul Bilewicz also showed outstanding basketball play. The opposition was most impressed with the speed of the warrior players although the necessity to adopt a defensive game made that skill nonapplicable in many situations. An embarrasingly low average from the foul line hurt the warrior effort, but they return to canada with a lot of experience on the play of highly drilled teams. Team members do not term the trip ‘a lot of fun’ but expressed thorough enjoyment of the games played and admitted that they learnt a lot. It will be interesting to see the effect of the games on the warrior squad as they face the shorter OUAA teams whose background approximate theirs.

The U. of W. girls entered their first bonspiel at the Granite Club in Kitchener on Saturday. This was the first competition for team. The team members were skip-Barb Dowler, vice-Brenda Grant, second-Allana Chipps, and lead Judy Moore (filling in for regular member Anne Mallon. ) The girls lost their first game in an exra end to a London rink. The second game proved to be somewhat of a revenge as the U. of W. defeated a Guelph rink 11-3. The third and final game drew the U. of W. against some of the finest Granite Club curlers. The girls were down one coming home and had two crucial difficult shots to make. Unable to do so, the girls were defeated. Excellent curling with keen competition dominated the day making many blisters and sore muscles worthwhile, Part I of the league curling is Jan. 28:29 at U. of Guelph. .

This will provide an opportunity for those studying the whole question of graduate support to complete their deliberations and to appropriate recomprepare menda tions. The terms and conditions under which these awards will be given in 1972-73 will be essentially the same as in 1971-72, pending a complete review, and on the understanding that a major change in graduate student support may be anticipated by 1973. A brochure explaining application procedures will be distributed in the near future. The number of awards to be granted in 1972-73 will be deter-

It is understood, however, that the total amount of money to be expended for this purpose will not exceed that granted in 1971-72, namely 3.5 million dollars. The grants-in-aid of research program will not be continued in 1972-73 in the same form as in 197172.

The bniversitv’s role in Canada’s war in 0 -0
n Ottawa’s Elgin street, about five minutes walk from the parliament buildings, is a graystone cubic building. It’s set inconspicuously in the capital’s tourist centre, near theatres, art galleries, convention centres, and the chateau Laurier. Over the main entrance to the fivestorey building, in small lettering, is the inscription : department of national defence. Inside the main door, the only door visitors are permitted through, is a booth partially enclosed in glass behind which sit three uniformed men. One of them demands the visitor’s business. If the visitor is there on business, he must call the office he wishes to visit, and wait for an escort to take him there. Before he and his official escort can leave the foyer, however, they both must sign a visitors’ register. The visitor is taken straight to an elevator by his escort and whisked to his floor of business. On emerging from the elevator, the visitor is faced with another guard who makes him sign another register. The visitor, having been given a pin inscribed Escort Required’, is then ushered into the office he is visiting. After the meeting, the guest is escorted back to the elevator, the elevator operator is told to take him to the ground floor, and the visitor is watched as he leaves the building. The following story tells why Canada’s defence personnel maintain such a tight security force, and who benefits from the defence department’s silent invisibility.

T
he Canadian Department of National Defence, to those aware of its Canadians existence, is always associated with peace-keeping-Cyprus, the Middle East, Germany, and here .at home. But under the smokescreen of an international image as peace-keeper, Canada’s defence experts (most of whom have backgrounds in, and still maintain connections with, large corporations and universities) have built a canadian booming war industry. I Incredible? During the past ‘12 years Canada has jumped to the number five position in the world as an international arms exporter. And today Canada spends more on defence projects, on a per capita basis, than the United States does. With no war to draw attention to it, very few Canadians are aware of their country’s war machinery. Almost none of our academic community know that the defence research board is sponsoring research in every Canadian university with an efirolment over 2,500 students. To defence analysts, the line between defensive and offensive weaponry and Lvarfare research is a very tenuous delineation llniversities and industries (illost of them american-owned subsidiaries incorporated under Canadian law) are currently studying, designing and testing weaponry that runs the gamut from chemical and bacteriological to atomic This military effort, in the name of peace, is directed and organized by the defence .research board. Research remains under the board’s jurisdiction until a finished product is finally marketable. Salable products in the past have included commodities of war ranging from chemical defoliants to green berets to airplanes.

After the defence research people have done their work, the department of national defence, operating under defence-sharing plans with NATO countries and special agreements with the 1J.S. steps in and pushes the products to nations with more immediate military needs. It’s a lucrative business and an in.visible one. The Canadian war machine is, in essence, a closed corporation with interlocking directors who link the major universities to large corporations, and then link both these groups to the -defence research board. The administrative interlockings among industry, government and the universities is a basic element in the structure of our society: And institutions with complimentaryfunctions and in&grated administration are built to enable the most efficient operation of the capitalist political-economic system. Industry, government and the universities are operated in the interests of the same class, so there are no contrad ictions - from their viewpointin the close functional co-operation that springs up in areas such as defence research. Defence7 research and contracting (done both by universities and industries) .is always shrouded in secrecy. Tight security is a necessity, and thousands of dollars are spent on public relations as each separate part of the war machine tries to keep its public image shining. (Occasionally the veil slips. Back in 1956, for example, after a rare security leak, prime minister Lester Pearson admitted publicly that Canada was selling arms to both sides in the IsraelEgypt conflict. And occasionally, since the Vietnam war escalated in 1965, word gets out about some new Canadian .discovery being pressed into service in Indochina. These leaks, however, affect only a particular government or an industrial contractor that relaxed its security at the wrong moment. The defence research board, the co-ordinator of the industry, never steps out of line or takes sides in any dispute: they have work to do. What is the defence research board? Back in 1916 the national research council was created by the Canadian government because of a necessity for war-time technology and scientific research. For the next three decades it maintained a high percentage of military research at the. expense of industrial research in the civilian sector of the economy.. After the second world war ended, the national research council began a trend towards .basic scientific research and its applications in an industrial peace-time economy. At this time other research agencies .began to spin off from the parent body. , In 1947 the defence research board (DRB) was set up as an autonomous research body by a group of national research council personnel who had participated in scientific and technological services related to the war effort In theory it was then answerable only to the government of Canada -through the department of national defence. In practice today, however, it is also to some degree answerable to its own board directors, many of whom have come from corporations receiving large amounts of industrial research and in- ’ dustrial contracting honey from DRB. It’s a tightly-knit family with a hand-ful of companies, the federal treasury and, to a lesser degree, most Canadian universities, sharing the spoils.
The spoils that come to the universities are mainly research grants (for basic scientific research) with a smaller portion of contracting. ‘Contracting’ is the term used when DRB wants a specific design or- item produced by some scientist (usually a’ professor) which binds the scientist to come across with the goods. Research in the universities is a chancier operation for DRB. Scientific research is always a risk investment value-free (clefence research is not scienceit is science serving corporate and military needs). But the defence experts, with their corporate allies, have done well: for every dollar they have spent on research, they are netting about $25 in arms sales. T-he universities are, for the most part, unaware of the end result of the research they do for DRB. Almost all research done in Canadian universities is basic scientific research. The applied research is generally done in one of DRB’s seven private research institutions which are spread across Canada, or by private i companies. But there is no mistaking the universities’ complicity in C:anada’s massive war*machine. They willingly do the spadework for all the defence projects in this country, and they supply the necessary resources, human and technological, for the efficient running of the machine. Besides giving research grants and contract monies to the universities, DRB supports universities‘ in one other way: by giving annual grants to specific scientific institutes within various Canadian universities. These institutes will be discussed later. Since the board was formed in 1947, it has spent 40 million dollars on research in Canadian universities. About another 10 million dollars has been spent on university contracting during that period. Where has the money been spent? All across the countr,y-from memorial university in Newfoundland to the university of Victoria. The lion’s share has gone to the bigger universities, especially McGill, university of Toronto and the university of British Columbia. Other major recepients of defence research monies are the universities of Alberta, Calgary, Manitoba, McMaster, Saskatchewan, *Waterloo, and the Royal Military college. In 1970, there were 36 Canadian universities who did work f-67 the DRB. What does DRB spend-their money on? Consider the following fields of study (some of which appear to be civilian studies but are not-anything DRB studies is directly connected to military strategy in which they are doing research this winter: l Chemistry. The main trends of research in this field are toward fluorine compounds, nitrogen compounds, radiation chemistry, and the affects of shock waves on various chemicals. Radiation chemistry is being studied at Memorial university, university of Alberta and university of Waterloo. Other chemical studies are scattered around the country. a Entomology. Another area of intrigue: what DRB seems to be looking for here is a better pesticide. New poisons are being developed and their affects on “insects of military importance” are being studied. Insects are more valuable as carriers of viruses than as guinea pigs for the same viruses. New pesticides are being studied at university of Alberta; control of cluster flies (like mosquitoes or black flies which operate in clusters and can be studied in groups) is under study at Western Ontario and McGill.
0 Bacteriology. We’re still in the horrific area of chemical and biological research. Research projects include a study of bacteria under physical stress (being carried out at McGill), and identification studies of virus agents (university of Ottawa). l tjuman resources. This is an area of fairly general human studies-, psychological and sociological. Among the more interesting projects are studies pertaining to the leadership process’ (Koyal Military College), punishment capability (McMaster), and the effects of rewards on performance. (Carleton). e Medicine. DRB does extensive medical research in many universities, the most notable being York university and the university of Toronto which is a major recepient of defence money. The key areas i of study are toxicology, radiation effects, Arctic medicine, underwater medicine; and aviation medicine. l Engineering (structures and materials). This sphere of research is on& of the few areas of applied military research. Studies are being carried out on ship hulls, airplane metal fatigue, and various stresses and corrosions ’ of materials. o Engineering (mechanical and electrical). llnder this heading comes the more dramatic research - born bs and rockets. The defence experts never refer to bombs and rockets, of course, prefering to use more delicate and precise scientific jargon. Among the projects: detonation in explosives (Calgary), slurried explosives (Queen’s), response of thin dome-type shells to dynamic loading (Calgary), and electromagnetic detonation research , (Carleton). a Political Science. Why would a military research agency be involved in studying political science? It’s a necessity the experts argue, for any nation involved in warfare and weaponry research to study local and international attitudes and factors involved in disarmament policies (Queen’s); to study the possibility of continental defence (Laval). One researcher is even studying people and institutions who do research on research (British Columbia). ID Special Studies. The two big fields of special study in Canadian defence are lasers (DRB is internationally recognised as a leader in laser research) and the interrelations of plasma and fluid dynamics (this has application to space research X among other thingsr The military possibilities have not yet been fully explored in these areas, but DRB is confident that they are on the verge of major breakthroughs in warfare research. This list (which is not complete: there are too many projects to list them all) is a good indicator of research policies within the department of national defence. Chemical and biological warfare is *still a consideration, as is atomic warfare. New areas of exploration <)re submarine and Arctic research. The single biggest field of study is aerospace technology and aviation. This field, not surprisingly, . also pays the highest dividends: the bulk of the millions that Canada earns through arms sales comes from the aircraft industry. DRB is SO interested in airplanes and aviators that they started an institute of aerospace studies at the university of Toronto back in 1951. They gave grants totalling 2.3 million dollars until 1968 when they phased out direct support. The aerospace studies institute is, according to a DRB spokesman, of general interest to joint NATO defence. The institute has done ‘joint space research
with
the american space program. institute-McGill Another such university’s institute of aviation medicine researchhas been supported (and still. is to the tune of 50,000 dollars a year by the DRB. There are other university institutes, though not in the aerospace field, that have received defence research board grants during recent years. One of them is the Nuclear Reactor at McMaster university. DRB gave 50,000 dollars a year until 1968 to McMaster’s nuclear studies program. It was supported heavily during the 1960’s when Canada’s defence experts felt it was suicide not to have personnel trained in the use of nuclear energy. Another is the institute of uppet! atmospheric studies at the university of Saskatchewan. The studies done by DRB there (direct support was again phased out in 1968) revolved around ionized particles in the air that often garbles radio transmission. The defence people were interested in the possibilities of being able to jam lines of electronic communication. The final two institutes do research of a more general and basic nature. The Lady Eaton laboratories at McGill study ‘microelectronics and the universite de Montreal has an institute for nl,lthematical research. Both institutes Ilave hacl considerable financial support .* iron1 LIRB. All these technical institutes, whether or not they continue to receive annual LIRB grants, still receive a large number of specific research grants and contracts from the defence research coffers. This is where up-and-coming defence personnel learn the tricks of the trade. Despite this massive industry that DRB has built up around Canada’s booming business in other countries’ wars, there are a few other areas that the defence scientists would like to explore. Among them: 0 Sociology. The department of national defence is proud of what it calls “disciplined mobility” when it was called into help with domestic problems (troops were mobilized during the Montreal I)olice strike, during the ‘Quebec crisis’ last winter, and during the Kingston Penitentiary riot). DRB is now looking for universities interested in studying crowd control, group decision-makifig, analysis of organizations and control of dispersed groups. l Systems Analysis. DRB is also interested in initiating university studies in the mathmatics of combat, and in games theory applicable to military situations. l Environment (political and social). The final area of interest to defence experts is historical and geographical analysis of war and war potential. This includes a study of domestic and international hot-spots; a study of future international alliance possibilities; a survey of the public’s attitude toward the department of national defence; and studies of riots and insurgency, and maintenance of law and order. What happens after the uni,versity research project is completed, after DRB has filed away their new-found information and the graduate student has I,ublished his thesis and spent his research grant? The baSic research now has to be applied. The military and business interests take over at this point; the ,research investment is about to pay off in dollars and cents. The war machinery swings into full gear; the university has now there’s money served its purpose, and power to be gained. But first, the defence research board may want to do further applied research to check that the information that they have paid for is really what they wanted. To do this they have to apply the basic
warfare and has an international reputation as being a pioneer in the field. S~~concl, nerve gases, chemical clefoliants, non-lethal gases, and viruses arc‘ saleable commodities with an imm4iate market in the United States’ war, in Vietnam. While research is done at both Shirley l3ay and Ralston, the actual testing of these weapons is done near Ralston (The reseat-c h establishment there, codenamed ‘Suffield’, includes a 1,000 squaremile testing ground). Weapons tested including defoliants, cropthere, destruction agents, insecticides and nonlethal gases, have already been used in Vietnam. And every time Canada sells weapons, the university research is paying off for LIRB. War is good buiness. Two of the other three research establishments, at Ottawa and Downsview (just outside Toronto), study current problems in the Canadian armed forces. Among the projects now being done are studies of human capabilities ancl limitations, plus other behavioral studies. The final establishment, at Valcartier, Quebec, again does marketable research. The scientists there study lasers, armaments, surveillance equipment, explosives, and they do weaponry systems analysis. From these seven defence research establishments come the finished weapons, ready to be mass produced and sold’. At this point, the 2,500 employees of DRB have performed their functions well: the ultimate decisions involving contracting (for mass produced weapons) and selling, rest with the actual board members of the defence research board. The actual board is split in two parts: ex officio members (government represeitatives) and appointed hembers who represent universities and industries. These men are very powerful: they decide what research should be pursued and which universities and what inclustries receive defence contracts. Not surprisingly, there is a substantial amount of patronage toward t’he institutions these me”n represent.
Silent research to the military problems that necessitated the original study. Some of the research projects are ~~armarked for application before they are finished. The file card on each research project is coded with a call number and a lettering that corresponds to one of the seven private research ~~stablishments that DRB owns. It is at these establishments that the classified research gets done. “After all,” said a DRB spokesman, “we could never do c,lassified research at universities. Suppose somebody got blown up by an explosive?” Suppose, indeed. tiave to keep up the public image. So the basic information, gleaned from Canadian universities, is shipped to one of the research establishments, far from the attention of the mass media and the people of Canada. Now the research becomes overtly military: the singular l,urpose of these establishments is to convert the basic scientific information into weaponry and warfare-either for use at home or for sale to some warring neighbour. ’ Two of the establishments, one in NS and the other in LIartmouth, tsquimalt, BC, primarily study naval applications of the university research, in addition to doing research of their own. of paramount importance to these insubmarine stitutes are surveillance, detection, and tracking in undersea warfare. Two others, in Shirley Bay, O@+rio and in Ralston (Suffield), Alberta, receive little or no public attention. There is as far as the defence people are concerned, a good reason for this quiet invisibility: these two research establishments handle the scariest research in modern day warfare. The scientists there are Canada’s foremost experts in chemical, biological, and nuclear weaponry. Why is Canada so involved in chemical and bacteriological weaponry research? There are two reasons: first, Canada was one of the first countries to explore the military possibilities of this type of

the university is again beseiged by budget problems. it seems that it is necessary to let go, lay off and otherwise get rid of various people in the science department this week. it is also incredibly ludicrous that the same ends could be accomplished by letting go, laying off or getting rid of one or two thirty thousand a year positions instead. it also has come to light that practically the only campus issue that people car6 enough about to be vocal is the towing problem and or the bungling of the chevron’s valiant attempt‘s at getting out a paper. More people are always needed and if you don’t like it, come in and help. Or if you do like it come in and help. Or if you’re bored&Qme evening around one o’clock, come in and help. elections for the fed ration are coming up soon. Pick a favourite, support him, think about him and if you don’t, don’t complain about who gets in. The federation is also coming up soon and if you want to know what your federatuon does, has done or can do for you, read the dekey lettle leaflet put out last year about “What your federation does for you”. (this piece of wisdom comes from Rick Page) but in looking at the federation, just remember-if it wasn’t for them, you’d be paying incredibly exorbitant rates for pubs five times a week instead of pretty good rates for pubs five times a week. Get upset or even livid about something this week, and when you have, come in and tell us! someone else down here is mad about the inflated prices in the village one tuck shop.

accomplice ISoard mfmbers at present includcl high administration officials from irnivclrsity of Winnipeg, university of Saskatc howan, universite de Montreal, Cmd L aval university. Industrial representatives include or have included directors of de Havilland Aircraft bf Canada, ATCO (Calgary), (Iclnaclian Wtlstinghouse, and RCA Victor Coml,any of Canada. All these corI)orations are major recipients of defence contracts. Most corporations receiving ca,nadian defence contracts are foreign-owned and _ controlled, with the bulk of them in the IJS and others scatteredaround Britain and Western Europe. Among the major contractors are (;eneral Flectric, Westinghouse, tiawkerSiddely, L itton Industries, Bendix, Sperry Rand, and General Dynamics (America’s biggest defence’ contractor). All business with these companies is done, of course, through their Canadian subsidiaries. Most of these corporations do research, design, and mass production in the electronics and aerospace industries. I he more overt weaponry contracting is done through crown corporations like Atomic Energy of Canada Limited and Canadian Arsenals Limited. The research done and the weapons produced, the final step for the department of national defence and the rest of the government is to find a country at war who needs a stockpile of arms. The days of smuggling guns to banana republics is long gone. Today, in the sophistication of power-bloc warfare, there are treaties and alliances and defence-sharing programs that are socially acceptable. The two main markets for Canada’s military exports are NATO and the 1Jnited States. In 1970, Canada made over 400 million dollars by selling arms to other countries. The defence production sharing agreement signed by Canada and the US in 1959, while touting mutual defence for the protection of North America, binds Canada to american foreign policy. Canada, is, as Canadian defence analyst William Cobban says, a contracted appendage of the american military machine. liow this agreement works is quite simple. The 1JS is fighting a war, so they need certain weapons. Under the Defence Production Sharing Agreement, there is very little duplication of work. For example, Canada is a specialist in chemical and bacteriological warfare. If the Pentagon needs a new chemical defoliant, they get in contact with Canadian defence experts who get to work on perfecting the defoliant and then sell it back to the US. Or if the Americans have developed a new nerve gas, then they occasionally bring it to defence research establishment Suifield (in Al berta) and have it tested by canadiarl scientists on Canadian soil. So the Pentagon orders weapons, DRB procluces them, and people die in Vietnam. And this vicious cycle is supported and endorsed, directly and indirectly, by Canadian universities. It makes one wonder about the purposes of universities. The ivory-tower concept of value-free science, of research in the name of humanity, is a thing of the past. Gnadian universities serve a military‘industrial complex based mainly in the IJS. This complex has tb\fo basic aims: to keep clown any threat to the established order at home (particularly in Quebec), ‘lncl to ljrovide any equipment to ,mybody as long as there r7re profits to 1~1 , nldde.
