Despite the current ’ un,em-3 ployment crisis, Waterloo’s innovative co-op program ‘appears, to be as successful as ever in placing students in business and industry. Of the 1,871 co-op stTudents now. on work term, all but 11 have been placed. And those 11 are people who would have trouble finding spots during any term, Uniwat coorf dination department head Ray Wieser told reporters friday. Wieser was pa special guest at president -Matthews’ bi-weekly pg3ws conference. I “This indicates we ‘can function as. well in bad times as in good times,” he said. “We are quite happy with the results of our ef: forts.” The placement, however, was not without difficulty this year, he added. “We’ve had our troubles and/ a lot of the- placements came late this-time, but it all worked out andwe’ve found that the employers are still giving us their vote of confidence..”

W-aterloo’s Coop- .programwhich places students in jobs with companies affiliated with their areas of study during several terms of their degree work:is the largest in Canada and the third largest of 275 such programs in North America. “No one has taken advantage of the current unemployment situation to get cheap student labor,” Wiesersaid. “Salaries are even increasing slightly.” . He estimated that the average for a first-year student would be’ 100 dollars per week. Besides the original engineering co-op program J several other options have caught on, he told reporters. * The chartered accounting ‘option, now including 78 students, is growing- rapidly J he said. There are 4,!% students enrolled in the. co-op program here at . present. Far from slipping during the current economic slump, Wieser stated that the co-op program “is \

But the engineering and science students make up the bulk of the co-op enrolment-3,000 of the 4,!%0-~0seem to give a good indication of conditions. . Wieser also said he doubted that the co-op students are very much a part of the problem of nonreturning students which is plaguing Canadian colleges this year. “I’m rather convinced we don’t have that problem,” he said. “It lies with other departments. Matthews backed that up, saying thatwhile the university fell short of -its projected enrolment. last term, the, projection has been passed for this term, and the bulk of the second-term enrolments are co-op students. Wieser endorsed the program as a help to graduates, also. He %aid the work terms give students “poise, experience, confidence in their ability and a definite advantage in job-seeking, since they’ve already had to go through the job-huntiig process while still in college.” Employers seem, to back. the program also. ’ While 127 employers visited the campus last year, 122 have visited for interviews this year. He said that “only a few” graduates are left without jabs at this point, even though companies are not making as many trips to most campuses for interviews now that more applicants are available to them. . -

do an,alysis

by Charles plater the chevron

A groupof four graduate students of management sciences at the university of Waterloo preparedan independent cost-benefit analysis of the 15 million dollar down-town Kitchener scheme. . The group was comprised of Ron Graig, D Geller, E.G. Manis and L.R. Novak. The group became involved on October 6 when the Ontario Municipal Board decided to “let the people decide” on the . proposed redevelopment of city hall square. The purpose of their analysis was an attempt to outline from an objective standpoint what they believed to be the benefits and costs to various groups in the city of Kitchener and to inform’ the general public. The analysis was divided into benefits two set tions : Tangible and costs, and intangible, benefits and costs. Tangible benefits represent the goods or services resulting from the redevelopment to which a dollar value can be while tangible costs placed, represents the monetary value which must be surrendered in that the proposed order redevelopment can be realized. The Kitchener taxpayers incur all the tangible costs in the form of taxes, and reap the tangible

benefits in terms of potential tax savings. Intangible benefits and costs are mainl\y concerned with residents of Kitchener who are taxpayers. The section identifies how each subgroup of Kitchener residents are affected by the various parts of the urban redevelopment proposal (new city hall, parking garage, new market, new shopping mall). The major effort in the study was the carrying out of surveys among the identifiable groups that were affected by the Oxlea proposal. The groups were as follows: residents of Kitchener, residents of Waterloo, Kitchener market vendors, urban Kitchener store owners, suburban Kitchener store owners, and expropriated store owners. The groups were either surveyed by random selection from the telephone directory or had face-to-face interviews. The typical questions asked were related to downtown shopping in Ki tchener , the market, parking facilities, importance of the preservation of the city hall, and taxes. From these surveys a general public opinion was formulated about the Oxlea proposal. After compiling all of the data, the group was able to come up with an estimated monetary figure. From the proposed downtown redevelopment scheme, under the most favourable conditions, Kit-

Ron Craig said that the new ‘Eaton’s store which is expected to triple its present size, will need an additional 360 staff members. Another additional sixty jobs will be available for the approximately twenty new stores planned for, the shopping mall on what is now the city’ hall site. It is also of significance to mention that a large number of tradesmen will be needed during the construction phase of the project. ’

residents stand to gain over a forty year period. Under the the worst possible conditions the city stands to lose $4,295,65!. These figures were based on an interest rate of eight per cent, the rate at which the city can borrow money, and a forty year lifetime of the entire project. Not only do the residents of Kitchener stand to lose or gain dollars, there are also a number of intangibles which will be ‘lo&- or gained. Some of the benefits are centralized and modern city- hall facilities, more variety in downtown stores and better and bigger facilities for social events. A large number of unemployed people will benefit from the new jobs that will be created through the

proposal.

’

The intangible costs involved seem to be of less importance. The loss of the city hall and the green area in front of it, possible price increases in the downtown stores, and the possible loss of charm and

. location of the farmers’ market, are a few of the most controversial consequences. This proposal offers benefits to specific, groups, but it is interesting to note that most of these benefits would still be obtained if the development took place elsewhere in the city of Kitchener. As stated in the survey, if Eatons relocated itself in a new shopping mall ouside the downtown area, but within the Kitchener city limits, the residents of Kitchener would still obtain the extra tax revenues and the extra jobs without incurring the costs associated with the loss of city hall, the loss of the green area, and without having to risk an investment in a parking garage.

SHERBROOKE (CUPIrMDQS)-About 230 students in the department of social work at the university of Sherbrooke have set up a parallel department in defiance of faculty attempts to restrict student p.articipation in course determination and grading. The student initiatives have received widespread support in Sherbrooke and throughout Quebec. The-Sherbrooke central council of the Confederation of National Trade Unions and the local construction workers’ union have declared their support for the students, as have the Parti Quebecois association of Sherbrooke county and an unemployed peoples group. Education is no longer sirnpli the responsibility of the professor, the students feel. The entire department must cooperate is deciding the goals of the teaching process. “Our action sustains a vision of the student based on responsibility and personal deveelopment inside a collectivity. The student cannot lose three or four years inside a cocoon of university courses, powerless in the face of the social reality which surrounds him,” the students’ manifesto declared. The students decided to create a parallel department rather than organize sit-ins or demonstrations because they feel this best expresses their capabilities and responsibilitywith regard to their future. “The record confirms that students are capable of assuming their a responsibilities and not simply of saying so or of claiming them, student bulletin reads. Since the creation of the department of social work in 1967, students and professors had been unofficially cooperating planning the curriculum and in grading. Following closed conferences last summer, however, the professors decided that they alone had the right to grade students. The students held a general meeting on november 2, a few days after they learned of the secret faculty, decision, and issued a statement claiming equal rights with the professors, and declaring that any other situation was unacceptable. At a closed meeting on november 5, the professors rejected the student demand for participation in grading. Only one of the seventeen faculty members dissented from this decision. The students held another general meeting on november lO$ecided to set up a parallel department, and to open formal negotiations with the faculty and administration. A five-person negotiating team and a twelve-member committee charged with running ., the parallel department were named by the students. Immediate and overwhelming community support have helped to make the parallel department a success. Eighty-eight resource persons from across Quebec consented to lecture free of charge, and 1 35 appeared during the month before Christmas. But negotiations have made little progress. Department head Jules Perron attempted to divide the students by threatetiing~ to fail the students who did not submit their term work when it fell due in early december, but only 30 students broke ranks. Failing grades were recorded for 72 other students, and the department’s refusal to expunge these grades is one of the major remaining obstacles to a settlement. A student assembly decided on january 12 to publicize the struggle across Quebec. Five hundred information packets were prepared, but just as they were about to be mailed, a group of professors including Perron, requested new meetings with the students. Some progress has since been made toward a compromise on the issue of grading procedures, but the two parties are still some distance apart.

SUDBURY (CUP)--Despite the stargazings of Edgar Benson that predict another economic boomyear for Canada, such does not seem to be the case in Sudbury, for as goes the International Nickel Company so goes the city of Sudbury , and Laurentian university.

things promise to become even bleaker for the financially plagued institution. INCO will shut down this summer for an unprecented threeweek holiday period, as it did on the Christmas and new year’s weekends. In addition, the company will not hire any students for the summer period. Last year some 1800 were employed for the and of that number summer, approximately one third were attending Laurentian. Coupled with this is the fact that the 26,000 member local of the

U of Alberta

EDMONTON (CUP)-In alberta, the progressive conservative government, elected last summer, has ordered a halt to planning on all university of Alberta construction projects where actual construction has not begun. The freeze will likely last at least until the legislature convenes in march. The government move indefinitely postpones 5 construction projects at the Edmonton campus, and orders “status reports” be compiled by the university on some 7 more projects. Most of these projects were born in the optimistic days of the 1960’s, when U of A enrollment was spiralling by 12 percent annually. However, minimal enrollment increases in the last two years have cast into considerable doubt university projections that enrollment, currently around 18,500 would reach 25,000 by the

mid-seventies. U of A planning and development vice-president W D Neal is “very concerned about the matter and would like to see some action on it soon.” b He worries that re-engaging that planning mechanism for projects will be expensive and fears the financial and legal implications should projects already under way be cancelled; or should U of A’s annual $10 million capital expenditures for rennovations, improvements and equipment be cut back. Dr. Neal also claims that the university, despite the underenrollment, is short of space. “We’re currently 5 hundred thousand square feet short of floor space, and if there are long delays in approval of these projects, it could seriously ‘hurt our planning for the rest of the seventies.”

United Steelworkers of America will be renegotiating a three-year contract with the company: an activity usually ending a prolonged strike. Many feel that this announcement has been the deathknell for the rather small institution, already ,in trouble because of a lower enrollment than for the 1970-71 term. The enrollment drop has caused cuts in various academic and nonacademic programmes. The humanities section was dealt the most severe blow with a cut of faculty to 6, and the compression or outright elimination of some 23 courses. English was especially hit hard and a planned graduate course has been eliminated. The school of social work is in an uproar because, of 40 second year students, only 8 will be accepted into the three of the four-year degree course. What can be expetted concerning the 100 firstyear students is unknown. In non-academic areas perhaps the cut causing the most vociferous comment was the cancellation of activity in 5 intercollegiate sports. Largest of these was the football team whose win record was viewed by many observors as the sole criterion for its cut. The team has won slightly less than one game on an average per season since its inception. Meanwhile the university community sits by and hopes that the economics of the Sudbury basin improve, but they aren’t holding their breath. It may be a long wait. /

by dudley paul the chevron

A.C. Forrest is a *humanitariatiournalist, cynical of a pro-jewish western press. Since 1967, he has made several trips to the Middle East <and had focused his sights on the plight of the Palestinian refugees. His views have grown from a somewhat pro-Jewish liberal in a pro-Jewish Canadian society ’ to highly critical and cynical in vie.w of what he has seen. Forrest, editor of the United Church “Observor”, is known for .his anti-Zionist stance. In his book “The Unholy Land” he -cited stories about occupying Jews bulldozing. or dynamiting the homes of resident Palestinians. Hearing stories of napalm spraying‘ of refugees, he eventually did, print a picture of a child recovering from napalm burns. For this, and similar publicity, he has been attacked as anti-Semetic. At a meeting of the arab student’s association, attended by both Arabs and Jews, Dr Forrest outlined three major problems in the MiddIe East. First Palestinian Arabs are refused their own land, while the racist israeli government sees fit to aid the immigration of 1,566 JewishLRussian immigrants a week. The original partition of Palestine - allowed 54 percent of the land for the Jews and 46 percent of the land for the Arabs. At the end of 1971566,000 Arabs had been forced to leave their homeland, something the Jews had been ’ praying for for thousands of years. The expulsion, he feels, is not simply the result of a war, but part of a Jewish master plan to build an entirely jewish state: Secondly, the Egyptians, he feels, are still willing to fight though a future victory doesn’t seem likely. If, however, the arab states succeed in defeating the Israelis their feelings against them are so strong that a major jewish disaster may not be avoided; Moreover, the situation in the Middle East only draws the policies of the US into a collision course constituting a threat to world peace. -- Solutions to the Middle East problems are varied. “hawks” suggest annexation. Nahum , ~ Israeli Goldmann of the World Jewish Congress suggests the formation of a neutral state, a cross -between Switzerland and the Vatican. Many young Israelis j propose de-Zionizat.on. Forrest noted two other solutions. The Palestinian Liberation - organization proposes that refugees should simply be allowed to return home where Christians, .Moslems; Arabs, Jews,-, Israelis and others could form a democratic secular state. This would destroy Israel as a purely Jewish state. The governments of the UAR Jordan and Lebanon support the UN proposal of 1967. This emphasizes the inadmissability of’acquiring land by war. The two principals involved are the withdrawal of. _ Israeli armed forces from areas occupied during the ‘67 war and the termination of all claims and b states of beligerancy respect for and acknowledgement of the sovereignty and independence-unthreatened. The.-proposal is unjust to and rejected- by the Palestinians, who would still be without the land X acquired from them by force in 1948. Recognizing that no completely just solution is possible, Forrest, for the moment, has accepted the . UN proposal. At this time, however, settlement is next to im--‘possible. Lsrael does not want to give up the oil it has acquired in the Sinai. And the Israelis want to maintain hold over thefertile areas of the Golan and ’ the tourist areas of Jerusalem. _

iellbut

Consequency, the Meir government insists on keeping Jerusalem and the Golan. It also wants direct negotiations. I ‘-_ David Ben Gurian wants the land taken by the Israelis to be returned in return for peace. The government has dismissed this suggestion. I. The arabs have, too often, been duped by direct negotiation. Moreover, there is no Palestinian official voice to negotiate. Thus, no agreement could be made stick. While agreeing to the seven other methods of settlement approved by the UN, the Arabs reject direct negotiation. Meanwhile the Israelis continue to pump oil out of the-Sinai and replace levelled homes with highrises for their own people. Arabs fear that Israel’s next move is into Southern Lebanon. ’ Forrest pointed out that U Thant predicts that hostilities will break out in the future. In an emotional question period,’ Forrest dismissed allegations that Jewish refugees in Syria had been raped and killed. Though questioned by another member of the audience the charge that Sadat had distinct Nazi leanings and sympathies was not commented upon. Forrest commented on Canada’s involvement in the Middle East. In view of the fact that External Affairs Minister Sharpe and Prime Minister Trudeau come from Jewish constituencies little pressure is expected to be put on the Jews to come to an early settlement. The N.D.P., he said, is Zionist, the Liberals are content to pay lip service to the UN and go along with the US. The Conservatives could play a part, ’ but lack leadership in this direction. The UN, he feels is ineffectual at the moment, considering the influence of the US and the Soviet Union.

To many students on campus, counseling services on thesixth floor of the math and computer-building, is an area as obscure as the computer terminals downstairs. . Perhaps the range of services offered by counseling services is not fully appreciated by all students. In fact only about twenty per centof the-students on campus h”ave used any of the services offered . . by this department. The programs offered by counseling services range’ from personal counseling to vocational interest testing to academic skiils programs. The majority of counseling is done in the personal, individual counseling area, as opposed to the straight academic counseling. Often academic problems are related to personality traits, such as . &dying habits, personality relationship%with the professor or oi%her students, or simply students being unsure of the future after their education.\ This is why director Bill Dick feels that many students would benefit from talking to a counsellor at counselling services rather than talking to a counsellor from a faculty or department. He feels that many times a faculty may be biased when counselling a student on course choices. Rather he feels that the’student must be counseled with respect to his total self, and that a person should not be fragmented into several different pieces when being counseled. Often students iike _to form groups with other students and mutually discuss common problems. or concerns. Some groups are formed mainly for couples, married or otherwise, since it’ is felt that perhaps couples encounter unique problems from those of the single student. * Students also can seek to improve their reading skills and study efficiency through courses offered on a small group basis. Courses are also being designed for effective note taking, listing and essay writing etc. The counseling services also sponsor such services as the rap room, I hi-line,. and. countryman counseling.

Poor peoples Library

gets

MONTREAL (CUPI)-The organizers of the People’s Library in Montreal’s Point St. Charles announced monday, January 17 that they had received a 35,000 dollar Local Initiatives grant from the Canadian government to continue their project which has been in operation for some seven -months. The figure was what they had applied for. Because of the lateness of the acceptance, the library will be able to employ 15 people, rather than the 12 originally planned for. Of the 35,000 dollars, 30,000 dollars will go for salaries, while the balance will cover rent, lights, -and the employer’s share of unemployment insurance and other bills. “We don’t really need all those people,” said William Smith, one of the library’s organizers, “but we’re forced to hire that number.” The grant only covers the next four months, after which the library will have to apply for an OFY grant. Three other projects from Du pain su’a planche (du pain sur la planche-bread on the table), an organization of 15 citizens’ groups in the Point St. Charles area, have also been approved since last week. Vacances en Ville (vacation, in the city), Comite de loisirs, and L’atelier de sculpture (Sculpture Workshop) received notice that they would get government grants. The approval of these four projects is in keeping with the spirit of the local initiatives committee which has now approved six projects (out of some 19) all dealing with helping the people to pass their time rather than teaching them to help themselves. s The nineteen projects which have still not been approved include a consumer group to instruct consumers on credit, loans and purchasing, a mobile clinic, a day care centre, a food co-op, a family planning service, a system of legal services for welfare recipients to inform them of their rights and the welfare laws and a project to teach young unemployed people about labour and union laws, accident insurance, etc. On tuesday, january 18, forty peole including the heads of these projects, as well as representatives from the Greater Montreal Anti-Poverty Co-ordinating Committee (GMAPCC) and Du pain su’a planche met for an hour and a half with Canadian Manpower and Immigration Minister Otto Lang and had a “discussion of a general nature” about the LIP program. The usual firm-fair-frank-andfree discussion, however, did not accomplish much because according to a Lang aide, “the minister did not have enough information” on all the projects that the people represented, and did not go into their details or why they were not yet approved. The same . aide was not sure of the number of projects that there were. If the people did not suspect it beforehand, they were informed. in effect that the visit to the minister was a waste of time, because the aide claimed that projects are approved or rejected on a local level. The minister only gives the final approval for local decisions. But the aide did say the “good exchange of views” meant that “a careful review would be given” to the projects not rejected as well as “some” of those earlier rejected “depending on the validity of the representation”. He also said that the people “asked a lot of questions”.

Anyone who has read Dune or Dune Messiah by Frank Herbert will delight in the splendid opportunity afforded them by Gwendolyn MacEwan’s new novel, King of Egypt, King of Dreams, an opportunity to reread said 95 cent novels in a new $8.00 hard cover edition complete with a new or somewhat new persona, roughly the same plot, a change in locale though not a serious one and... . well. . . .a beautiful mauve cover with the busts of King Akhenaton, Nefertiti, Ay and Tiy pictured on it.

places us in Egypt (well of course) with sand, horses and camels and such in the 18th century B.C. I guess they had horses then though I don’t remember that they did-oh they must have-they -did have a sort of horse hybrid I think called a dromedary--oh of course they had horses. Dreams

her views in contrast to perhaps the his tori an’s views and all the while staying as close to fact as she can. In this I can find no fault with MacEwan or only a little. Surely Herbert must have stolen his plot from ancient Egyptian scrolls. Surely. Nevertheless. Herbert’s characters were alive, a little out of the ordinary while MacEwan’s are.. . .well.. . . here I’ll show you. We’ll just turn the pages a little. Ah, hah. Akhenaton; now Akhenaton is-also called Wanre but only sometimes and then you’re not confused or only a bit. How different Wanre or Akhenaton is from Paul Atreides, the hero of Dune and Dune Messiah. (He is also called Maud’Dib) Why Paul or Maud’Dib was nothing like that. Why he could see the future to be sure, and read minds and he became blind and lost his powers a little while after that, and died in the desert of his own will and was a lover of peace and life but there was a great difference between them. You see, Paul or MaGd’Dib dies and wins the planet for his people while Akhenaton or Wanre dies and loses Ah, quelque difthe empire. ference, n’est-ce pas? After all, ask any university which is better, a shakepearean ‘trajedee’ or a comedy.

McEwan’s novel is creative nonfiction which means, if you haven’t taken English 101 or equivalent or The obvious answer is a tragedy were asleep in high school that the and why? Not because they were plot is taken from, fact or history written later in his life when he and the author, or authoress in this was a better writer. Oh no! Nor case, improvises on that, adding ’ does a tragedy allow the writer to dialogue, enhancing the scenery, write of truly important things and, to a greater scale. Oh no ! It is colouring the action, resurrecting the characters and also presenting merely because the hero loses that

Somethingcompletely If you are already familiar with “The Monty Python Show”, episodes of which have been shown on the CBC, suffice it to say that And Now... is a wide-screen, version of the technicolor television series. The movie includes such choice sketches as “Upper Class Twit of the Year” and the “How Not to be Seen” training film,,as well as a generous selection of those incredible Python graphics. If you haven’t seen Monty and his boys perform, you have been missing the funniest British comedy since “The Goon Show”. Our commonwealth cousins have long been adept at a kind of sharp, even acerbic humor which is rather strong stuff for Canadians; Stephen Leacock and Robertson Davies, for example, are positively benign in comparison to Evelyn Waugh or Anthony Burgess. This may well have something to do with the greater rigidity of class boundaries in social England. And Now...% satirization of the “Upper Class Twit”, for example, stresses the vicious stupidity of the eton-harrow set of terms which would probably provoke libel suits in Canada; but if it is true that “humor” is often a safety valve for feelings which would otherwise be either repressed (bad for the individual) or acted out (bad for society)Shakespeare’s “If I laugh, ‘tis that

may not weep” comes to mindthen one can understand why “The Monty Python Show” is tolerated. It’s hard to think about anything as heavy as social change when you’re laughing yourself to death. But enough socio-political theorizing ! ( Included only to take

up space, in the vain hope that we’ll send him his pizza ration airmail instead of third class-The Ed.) And Now... is roughly twenty

times as funny as the average Hollywood “comedy”, guaranteed to cure depression, snakebite, and anomie. I don’t want to give away any of the punch lines, so here’s a sample of what to expect (culled from Monty Python’s Big Red Book) : From Madame Palm Writes; Dear Madame Palm: Our Local Building Society Branch Manager says that insurance is illegal. Can this be true? Ron Higgins, Cirencester Dear Ron, there is absolutely no need to be ashamed of your body. Sex is a perfectly natural function that all post-pubescent people indulge in. For heaven’s sake can’t we get it out in the open? From the Classifieds : Save $$$$$$$$! Why pay over 3 times as much as you need? Don’t Throw Your Money Away! Why be a Fool? You may be Crazy but you don’t need to look such a Stupid Gitf I think you Stink! Yah boo!

makes it better. Thus MacEwan’s rewrite is better because Wanre (or whoever) dies and loses, right? Wrong. What MacEwan offers is a list of characters of which only Ay the uncle, confidant of Wanre is real, whereas Herbert offered many characters who rivalled Paul Atreides for audience appeal. Take Akhenaton’s mother Tiy. Go ahead take her. She’s overbearing, conniving, fiwedy, stubborn, bull headed and stupid. Now that’s not a stereotype; now is it?

have. What a nothing character he was! The reader learns little of Wanre except his outward appearance but I guess the average reader can’t bandy thoughts with the likes of soothsayers and mindreaders. No ! I should say we probably wouldn’t care to! Finally Wanre becomes blind; now isn’t that interesting. And though his powers remain for some time even they fall eventually and he is helped in his pursuit for death by Ay who leads him to the desert and kills him mercifully.

Ernest Hemingway stand back-the floor to Miss MacEwan. Now Wanre was the king of Egypt in the 14th century BC at which time said country was still in its golden age, but despite the great gains Egypt had and was making there was still much inner turmoil. Wanre, the philosopher king, lover of the heavens, the earth, the eternal arts, love, peace, charity, was totally the wrong man for the job.

Internafionul

Divers made the difference at this year’s International swim meet Saturday evening at the university of Waterloo, as three american squads, Michigan State, Clarion and Lake Forest battled for first place. Superb diving on the one metre board by Jane Manchester 0% Michigan State in defeating Barb See1 and Barbara Schaefer, both of Clarion State gave Michighn State the necessary margin of victory to down the pre-meet favorites, Lake Forest from Chicago.. Lake Forest brought no divers to the International. ’ Final point standing in the l&team meet, Canada’s best womens intercollegiate contest, had Michigan State out in front with 309 points closely followed by Lake Forest with 292 points. Clarion ended with the * best 213 points while Toronto, Canadian school in ihe meet came away with 123 points, good for a distant fourth. In all twelve of fifteen meet records fell, along with seven new pool records. Although no Canadian open records were broker?, swimmers came within three 3 tenths of a second of doing so. f

Halfacre Kowalewski‘

Sue Halfa& from Lake Forest as well as tammate Lydia Kowalewski swam exceedingly well. Halfacre won two individual gold medals along with two additional golds for her efforts on the 200yard medley relay and 400-yard free relay squads. Kowalewski was also on the two relay teams and won golds in the 200-yard individual medley and the 200-yard breaststroke events .Both individual events were won in meet record times. Michigan State’s Marilyn Corson who swrim for Canada’s Olympic team in 1968 won both the 50 and 100-yard butterfly events. Her times of 28.5 and 1:01.4 for the two events were new pool and meet records. Waterloo’s Judy Abbotts won a bronze medal in the 50 fly, covering the two lengths of the pool in a fast 30.0 seconds.

Keating’s time was 1: 14.6, a full two seconds ahead of Kitchen. Michigan State’s Jane Waldie held off Laurie Finke of Lake Forest to take the 200-yard backstroke. However in doing so, she had to set new pool and meet records. Waldie went 2 :25.4 while Finke backpaddled in a good 2: 26.9. Clarion’s Barbara Schaefer came back after her less than best third place finish in the one meter board- to take the three ’ metre event. Jane Manchester placed second while Kathy Lane of York was third. ’ ’ The Athenas, although slipping from fifth overall last year to tenth this time around, fared very well with all doing their -personal best performances this season.

Stratten strikes gold .

The only Canadian to strike gold at this year’s International was again Merrily Stratten of Toronto. Stratten, after being frustrated by Sue Halfacre in the 100 and 200 freestyle races when she came home second with the best times in her life, went all out in the 400-yard freestyle. This time Stratten jumped into an early lead and kept ahead of Lake Forest’s Laurie Finke by about three yards. At the finish the open water between the two girls was five yards, but to win Stratten h;id to. ~ knock 15.8 seconds off the previous meet record she established here last year. The new meet time is now 4: 23.7 while Laurie Finke came in at 4: 26.5. Pat Bergman, another Olympic competitor for the U.S., won the 50 freestyle and the 100 backstroke. The Ball State competitor went 25:7 seconds in the 50 free, which was just three-tenths of a second off the Canadian record.

“What a lonely thing it is, to write - and spend the whole night writing (which is the-plan in me) is a form of torture. Mt eyes will have burnt skin on them tomorrow; my hand will shake; my stomach will refuse-to empty. Dogs with broken legs are shot, men with broken souls write through the night”.

Patchen

talked

of the way he would

like to die in “Crossing

On The

Staten

Island

I’d like to die like this..... with the dark fingers of the water closing and unclo$jng over these sleepy lights and sad bell somewhere murmering goodnight.

And a girl would stand beside me, her hair I ifted out I ike a hand against my face; and I’d sav “I am going to die now”. And she’d answer “All the guns are still: For men have learned to love one another”.

The guns are not yet still, men have not learned to love one another and Kenneth Patchen is dead. Kenneth Patchen was easily one of the most compelling forces in american poetry. It was Patchen who first read poetry to jazz accompaniment; Patchen found jazz a “natural” music whi’ch matched the natural rhythms and melodies found in spoken poetry. Jazz and poetry were an integral part of the “beat movement” which spawned writers such as Ferlingetti,Kaufman,Corso,Kerouac and Ginsbeyg, and Patchen was at its fore..Yet Patchen cannot be classified as a beat poet, if anything he was anti-hip, anti-beat and anti-cool. Patchen wrote of the beautiful and the- ugly in-the world around us, the torment of man’& soul, the senselessness of war, the ne=for love among men, the love of a woman and of the resurgence of the beautiful in life. Patch& wrote of these things that one can feel with his whole (in)glorious being. Patchen tias a pacifist, not a strange occupation for a poet, but for a man of the twenties and thirties before ‘all’ were pacifists it was surely not an easy life. In The Journal of Albion Moonlight written during the European insanities (1941) Patchen shows us Albion Moonlight; naked humanity. It is perha.ps one of the most forceful pieces of american literature ever written, it explores in superb allegory and illustrative madness the ultimate regions of all human aspect. Sadly, for the guns are not yet still, it has lost none of its meaning or timeliness. The Journal of Albion Moonlight is still the best american indictment of war and senseless slaughter. Many of Patchen’s poems were concerned with the politics of war and social injustice. His style .was simple and direct, often to the point-of brutality : “I DON’T WANT TO STARTLE YOU but they are going to kill most of us”. Patchen mercilessly satirised and demeaned the insanities and inanities that abound in our culture. For all his hardness and unflinching protestation Patchen could still write some of the best contemporary poems of love. Love.for Patchen was seen to mirror the prescence of god in all men. Patchen spent his-latter-years writing sonnets for his wife Miriam to whom all his books are dedicated. Patchen’s thirty-five year writing career ended at age sixty. He died on January 8th of a heart attack in his home-( in Palo Alto in California).

#“In these fierce and hurrying years, Patchen’s apocalyptic prophecies have - Lawrence too true. Listen, if there is still time, to the words of this man!“.

Fourth

annual

Ski racing, by its very nature, entails a pushing to the extreme of human endurance, to the far extent of the competitor’s ability. Skiing, in the competitive sphere, showed all the tension, excitement and disappointment associated with the sport at last Friday’s Waterloo invitational event. Participants from ten southern Ontario universities gathered on a snowy Blue Mountain hill for the event’s fourth running. The event was transferred from its original location on ‘smart alec’ to the more suitable ‘calamity lane’. The name of the slope proved too coincidental for many skiers as the few brave (and very cold) spectators were treated to spectacular falls and acrobatics when the participants attempted to negotiate the icy slope. At 10 :30 am the first skier approached the lonely gate and with a violent drive began a furious rush down the mountain to be followed by over one-hundred other competitors in the full day’s event. Thirty six female competitors represented eight universities; five were entered with three being included in the final point-total tally. The inherent pressures of ski racing took its toll on many of the female participants, a large number of whom were attempting their first competition. The long wait at the starting gate was relieved somewhat by coaches attempting to reassure their athletes while teammates careened out of ,control on the hill below. Many inexperienced participants reacted to the situation by showing a careful cautiousness through the gates, not resulting in fast times but leaving them with far fewer bruises. The rythmic course supported 21 gates for the giant slalom on a treacherous pitch away from the starting gate. The courage and ability of the skiers took them through the first few gates into a relatively easynegotiated area before once again swirling into the rapidly dropping final gates preceeding the ,finish line.

Wa‘terloo

ski invitational

The Blue Mountain school director and his assistant were responsible for the final course, two people many of the competitors probably have harsh words for. Four forerunners tested the course before the women tackled it and the brilliant sun provided glimmering shadows as the women completed their first run. Thirteen girls whizzed by the line under fifty seconds with Queen’s Marg Chaput leading after a fast 44.5 second clocking. Waterloo’s Carolyn Bowes took 49.2 seconds to traverse the course and stay with the top contenders. Immediately upon the women vacating the slopes for some well-deserved refreshment, the men took to the hill with teams from York, Toronto, RMC, Waterloo, Guelph, Laurentian, McMaster, Trent, Western and Brock competing for the trophy held for two years by the guys from Western. Competition was keen and fierce with very close times being recorded by the top entrants. ‘The final mogul before the finish proved hazardous for a few, one competitor glided over the hill only to find the finish line out of range as he desperately, but unsuccessfully attempted to return on course. The depressed competitor dragged back to the chalet with his rivals as the morning’s skiing came to a close with Laurentian’s Peter Kotyk leading the times with 38.3 seconds. Kotyk was closely followed by Doug Irwin and Doug Mitchell of Guelph and Western respectively clocking 39.8 and 39.7 seconds. The break was well earned and gave competitors time to recoupand reflect over the morning’s activitiy . While the competitors were enjoying the lunch-break, the sun crept lower in the sky and the temperature collaborated, dipping to ten degrees below the morning reading. Also warming their thumbs at the break were the students of Dr. Don Arnold’s outdoor recreation class who served competently as officials for the event.

The afternoon brought a shadowy course, slippery conditions and faster times. The new course proved a bit easier to the competitors who competed in reverse order per seed. Marg Chaput, after leading through the first run, produced a slow 39.0 second run but kept her lead over the field until Carol Eastmure of McMaster sped through the gates’on the way to a 35.6 clocking to clip Chaput by onetenth of a* second and claim first place (individually). Chaput however, did not lose all, her teammates came through to tally 104.2 points to lead Queens to the women’s team championship, followed closely by Toronto and l&Master who tied in second position with 105.5. The Waterloo girls ranked fifth with 134.8 behind Western. Fourteenth, 18th and 20th positions were claimed by the Waterloo girls who were Carolyn Bowes (98.1) Mary Fydell (118.5) and Diane Hossie (125.0) respectively . Norm Coulter of Laurentian slipped his way through the gates with edges biting ravenously on the bare surface to emerge from the finish line with a swift 34.3 time and the lead in the men’s competition. Doug Irwin of Guelph soon removed any doubt of his place in the event ‘by clocking thirty four seconds flat. Irwin’s time represented the fastest of the afternnon skiers, but a fast 34.2 by Peter Kotyk maintained his first round lead and gained him the individual men’s title. With Kotyk and Coulter finishing in the top five, Sam Antula wrapped up seventh position and with it the team championship for the Laurentian crew. Waterloo’s men took sixth position with Craig White (20th), John Hall (22nd) and Gary Bell (29th) accounting for the points. Inexperience has been stated as the limiting feature on the Waterloo squad. A few more events of this .nature should provide the needed background for a good showing in the OUAA championships on February 11. r-

Wurriors by Wheels and Skinn the chevron

The Windsor Lancers are a tough team to beat in Windsor. This is emphasized by their at home record, which had shown only 2 losses over their entire basketball history. ’ However our Warriors, with a fine team effort handed the Lancers their third at home defeat on Saturday night. The players were obviously up for the game and ready to win. They stormed onto the court and out hustled their opponents to take an early 20 to 10 lead. Both teams substituted freely, showing their depth. When the Lancers threw a full court press at them the Warriors seemed to be stifled for a few minutes until they managed to break it with long passes to Dragon and Skowron. The press, coupled with their hot outside shooting enabled the Windsor team to tighten up the score considerably. After a see-saw battle at the end of the first half, the Warriors went to the dressing room with a 1 point lead (44 to 43). Paul Bilewicz was nailed with 3 personals in the first part of the half and while he was sitting out most of the first half, Mike Zuwerkalow and Ed Dragon took up the slack. The second half started with what later proved to be a tactical error by the Lancers, as they came out in a man-to-man defence. The Warriors drew foul after foul and the first 5 minutes seemed like a charity ball. Maintaining a furious X scoring pace, the Waterloo team had already scored 30 points in the half with 10 minutes to go but lead the hot Lancers by only 74 to 70.

The remainder of the game was marked by thrilling end to end action as the .Warriors’ margin never exceeded five. With less than 30 seconds remaining they lead by only 2 (87 to 85). Then Bill Ross, after being fed by Jaan Laaniste put in the insurance basket. There must have been at least 5 whistles in the last 20 seconds, the Lancers retaining the ball after each one but the boys in blue couldn’t score again. Final score 89-85.

fade in stretch

Fans attending the Saturday night encounter between the warriors and the Guelph gryphons were treated to a chippy brand of hockey as the home town -boys were dumped 4-3. The first period saw the warriors outplaying and outhitting the gryphons but managing only a l-l tie to end the period. Kropf put the warriors out in front at the 8:34 mark, during one of ‘the farmers. eight penalties of the period. John Hall had the gryphons looking like idiots drawing three penalties in a two minute span resulting in the warriors marker. Guelph responded at 14:49 with the warriors a man short. Tension remained high during the second period with many near brawls but few penalties being assessed to either side. The warriors once again dominated the play and seemed to have no trouble with the confused play of the gryphons with Hall scoring at 3: 02. The warriors played a good brand of hockey throughout the period carrying the puck well, although the team wasn’t shooting very often. The only really strange occurence in the period, besides the warriors not scoring more, was John Hall being called on to serve a penalty for goalie doug snoddy, at a time when he was looking effective. The second perod ended with both benches emptying at the buzzer and a melee ensuing. No penalties resulted from whatever it was that happened. The third period started well with Greg Sephton, having returned to the warrior lineup, putting Waterloo, up 3-1.

Penalties began to pick up and the warriors began to slow down. At 8: 25 with the warriors two men short Guelph scored and 38 seconds later tied it up. The warriors looked beaten from then on and the influx of 50 guelph fans from the lutheran basketball game made it look and sound like a Guelph home game. With a minute and a half left Guelph went out in front and the warriors with a man advantage plus a pulled goalie, couldn’t find the equalizer . The games are becoming a little too predictable for loyal warrior fans. The lack of a third line seems to be putting the pressure on six forwards with people slowing down near the end. The warriors meet the varsity blues tomorrow night at 8: 30 in Waterloo arena. The blues haven’t lost a game this year and recently whipped ryerson 19-l. Last thursday the warriors dropped a 5-O decision to the western mustangs. Western

and as many

fouls.

This proved to be not only a victory over Windsor but also over the referees who seemed to do everything in their power to give the home team the win. For example : 1) one referee anticipated a foul with a short tweet of his whistle but then when the foul did not occur he allowed the play to continue. The warriors, who had stopped in the Lancers’ end of the court when they heard the whistle were ripped off as the Lancers went down and scored an easy 2 points unmolested. 2) After the ball had been awarded to Windsor under our backboard the referee allowed the play to start before the Warriors yere set. The Lancer assigned to throw it in simply handed it to a teammate who put it up for an easy basket while some of the Waterloo players still didn’t know that the play had / started. Talking to caoch McRae after the game he said “It was a good thing they won or I would have been suspended.” When asked why he stated “I would have drilled one of the referees.” For Windsor the scoring was evenly distrubuted as Smith and Mingay were high with 14%points each. Waterloo was‘ paced by Jaan Laaniste who netted 26 points and showed his old style and composure. Forwards Ed Dragon and Mike Zuwerkalow added 20 and 15 points respectively. Strength up the middle was shown by Paul Skowron who scored 8 points. The Warriors have 2 games next week; Thursday night they play an exhibition against York here. Then on Friday night they travel to Western to take on the Mustangs once more.

Unintentional satire department:

The Plain Truth.about hippies: The following article appeared recently in the -american‘ journal The Plain Truth. It has been condensed by chevron Wes Oarou, graduate engineer.

7‘

.hiE “HIPPIES” have emerged as a whole new subculture around the world. The drug-taking cult’ has rejected mddern society, rebelled against the Establishment, and wiihdrawn to a psychedelic world ‘of bizarre thrills. You need to-know why the hippies are the barometer of a sick, sick Society. It’s time you knew the truthunderstood the real meaning and dangers 0 of the ‘hip’ world and what it means to you! Make no mistake. You may not realize it yet, but you are involveddirect/y. What’s behind hippie music? Sex, drugs, and revolution. These three subj.ects cover nearly every song in the hippie anthology. Of course, some modern groups such as the Beatles have written some beautiful melodies, but these are rare exceptions to the general ruie. Songs depicting sexual intercourse are too graphic to print. All one needs to do is see the gyrations of certain singers a,nd all doubt is removed. The blues of Janis Joplin, for instance, “wring the last drop of sex from every song. And sex is a big part of what blues is all about,” said newsweek magazine. 0.0

To get the facts on the hippies, to find out what really turns them ‘on’, to find out why many youth.seem to enjoy and admire the hippie way of life, we sent two of our correspondents to the Haight-Ashbury district in San Francisco. Here is their report on the now defunct hippie hangout: \ .

W-

.may HAT WE DISCOVERED surprise you! It was a pleasant afternoon. The hippies were out in force, clothed in their typical outlandish regalia. Some of them looked like wild Indians of the American variety, complete with headbands and feathers. Others appeared more like the Three Musketeer variety with colorful coats and high boots. Many of them seemed to enjoy parading up and down Haight Street, spdrting their long hair, smiling for the cameras, selling copies of “The Berkely Barb”. As we toured the“hip scene,“and saw ourselves “where it’s at” we had a chance to -talk with several of the hippies. They seemed to have nothing at all to hide. They were free, frank, open, and sincere. A girl told us she had been arrested several times back where she came from Colorado. “They threw me in jail many times,” she said. “My parents didn’t care. The school didn’t care. I was just bored with life. Thats all. Bored. But when I discovered ‘pot’, my whole life changed. When I began taking LSD, everything became great-just great. My folks don’t care for me-Idon’t. think they ever did.” We talked to others as well. One’ young lady was obviously disenchanted with hippiedom. She had come to the “Hashbury” from Canada, where she was returning as soon as possible. “There’s no future in being a hippie,” she told us. I’ve had my kicks. Now I’m going back to Canada -and become a dress designer.”

Why a hippie? Why is a hippie a hippie?’ The hippie sub-culture has many types. There is the sincere dropout who became disillusioned with the world and the society around him. This type sincerely believes the world is a rotten place and wants nothing to do with it. So he withdraws, rebels and becomes alienated.

Then there is’the pseudo-hippie. He (or she) only goes into hippiedom for the sex, the excitement, the ‘-‘thrills,” and to get away from mom and dad. This hippie doesn’t believe in peace or the hippie philosophy, but he does believe in free sex, having fun and rebellion! There is another kind of ‘hippie-if you can call him (or her) a hippie. This is the violent, insincere, dishonest hipbie-the one who takes advantage of other hippies and other people: This is the type that peddles LSD and marijuana to the others, making a profit, short-changing them when he can get away with it. He is liable to be a “pusher” of hard narcotics or other more addictive drugs. _ Finally, there is the political agitator type df hippie. This segment is comprised of a small dissident nucleus which is definitely communist influenced. These hippies are more properly called revolutionaries. They infiltrate the hippie movement in an effort to use disenchanted youth as dupes in their schemes to disrupt the government. 0.0 Let’s understand. The new psychedelic world of hippies with their drugs and flowers is admittedly a farout, estranged segment of mankind; but they are people just like me and you and everybody. They sleep, they bleed, they cry, they have to eat. They are human, just like the rest of us. More than that, their morals are not so different from many in the “straight” wor,ld. Which is wors&---committing adultery, stepping out on your wife and wife swapping-or sleeping for a night with a “chick” whom you happen to like? Don’t be misled. The growing trendtoward hippieism is merely part and parcel of a growing degenerate world. It is merely one facet of where increasingly ‘anything seems to go.’ They are not ultimately responsible for the rocketing increase homosexuality and perversion.

Their parents so often don’t tea& them properly. Or else their parents are too harsh, strict and confining, causing their children to rebel against all authority. But In most cases, today, parents couldn’t care less if their children try a little sexual experimentation. In fact they may even encourage it. Even the schools and universities parrot the agnostic idea that there are no absolute standards, no absolute truths. For-example, one educator said it is not correct to say arsenic is a poison which will kill you. True, it may have killed hundreds of others, but you don’t know it will kill you unless you try it. Even then, that doesn’t prove it would kill everyone else. The only way to prove it, according to this theory, is to try it. Does that really make sense? You should know that arsenic will kill you. You don’t have to take it in order to prove it. By the same reasoning, you don’t know that the law of gravity will work the next time you drop something or lose your ba la rice. But people are confused by this interesting-sounding reasoning. Therefore they are convinced that there are no absolutes, no laws, that everything is relative. With this type of reasoning permeating our school class’rooms and uciversities, is it not strange that youth are experimenting for themselves.

According to Robin Lugar, public health advisor in Los Angeles, “the chances of a hippie who believes in ‘free love’ contracting gonorrhea or syphilis or both is 100 per cent”.

By the time they catch venereal disease, of course, it is too late. By the time they ruin their young lives, or bend their minds out of shape with drugs, then it is too late! aai Symbolizing their utter rebellion, against society, the hippies have established their own standards of living, their own fashions. They desire .to be different. You’ve probably seen-them-all wearing the same type oj paraphernalia. ’ The hippie uniform consists of something like bell-bottom trousers, a pack of beads, a string ‘of bells, a feather or flower in their hair, wide belt w‘ith big buckle, boots, moccasins, pr bare feet. Hlppie girls usually have long hair combed straight, bright colorful dresses, and don’t forget the beads, flowers and bells. Hippies, believing in free love, exhibit the morals of a common alley cat. Any kind of sex’goes-man and woman, man and man, woman and woman, or even ‘group’ sex. Casual sex among hippies abounds. Venereal diseases are rampant among them, reaching epidemic proportions. Many don’t even bother to go to the health clinics for treatment any more. They don’t seem to care what may happen tommorrow-they are living for today. Sex is engaged-in openly ‘in parks, or beneath semi-open bushes. Hippies don’t really care who kiss or fondle each other, or who goes all the way. Because of this way of tife, babies are being born daily infected with VD.

Not much love Although they speak ‘pkace’and proclaim ‘love’, there is not as much peace and love among the hippies as you might think. The hippie community seethes with hatreds, persecution complexes, muggings, rapes, murders, suicides, and all kinds of violence! The hippies ha\ve withdrawn from the world, but they have not conquered their own human nature! They still find themselves to be vain; full of ego and selfishness. They are found to cheat, steal ,and lie. Jealousies crop-up, antagonisms -arise and drugs sometimes turn them into vicious monsters. * One of the saddest aspects of hippiedom is the p&-occupation among some with death. “Death is a groove”, th‘ey think-and to experience it, some attempt suicide. There can be no doubt about it-crime and violence, dope addiction and murder go hand-in-hand!

Sociologist Lewis Yablonsky conducted a national survey of hippies. He estimates that some 40 percent of hard-core hippies have turned into ‘speed freaks’ or ‘meth monsters’-that is, users of methedrine. Your child could be next! That is, if he hasn’t already been enticed or snared.... Before you know *it, as soon ,as your child reaches the mid-teens, he or she will become a ‘teeny-bopper’ just one:step away from an out-and-out hippie. And then, as soon as he or she goes through that stage of metamorphosis-behold-you have created a hippie. Hippies, with their flower power, may not be able to change the world much. By dropping out of society, they will not much change society. They themselves are victims of the same hipocrisy and double standat& which they so volubly reject. They, themselves, are guilty of phoniness, sham<, prktense and self-delusion.

Instead of attempting to solve they “drop acid, turnIon, tune-in, out.” They go nowhere-fast. Get drugs, they seem to say, and you with any problem.

problems, and drop stoned on can cope

What is the answer? What then is the answer? What is the solution to this world’s many-faceted, multihued problems? Is there an answer-short of nuclear war and blasting all life off the face of the planetearth? Do yoq know of ‘any possible answer? Well, believe it or not, the world is going to be set“straight and made right in less than twenty years from now. If you want to know more about it, and how it is going to happen, then write now for our free booklet ‘The Wonderful World Tomorrow-What it Will Be Like’. ! It makes the truth plain. You’ve never read a booklet like it, revealing in great, interesting detail just what is prophesied to happen within the next fifteen, twenty, twenty-five years!
