F.ac.uJty evaluation,

A secret proposal, which originated from the President’s Advisory Council, on how to - evaluate faculty, was discussed briefly during a faculty association meeting Wednesday afternoon. Most of the faculty present hadn’t even heard of the proposal which professor Huang of ‘! Chemical Engineering insisted on discussing. Huang told the meeting that the Mathematics and Engineering faculties had declined to comply with the proposal’ which he felt could be used as a form of blacklisting against non-tenured faculty. motion that the Huang’s executive should investigate the proposal and forward copies of it to all faculty members was passed with one opposing vote. The proposal which mysteriously appeared in the chevron office this week is as follows: _

The context
The university of Waterloo is a viable evolving institution. The external pressures, including constraints budgetary acknowledged by the government of the province of Ontario, public attitudes toward universities, and the report of the commission on Post-Secondary Education, indicate that the community of theuniversity of Waterloo must understand its present strengths,, weaknesses and potentialities, in

To estimate the academic quality and potential of the several academic departmental units. To approximate the cost-benefit factors in the present academic units’ operations. To estimate the ranking of the university of Waterloo’s academic units in relation to similar units in Canada. To aid the interaction of research and teaching perthrough-out the sonnel university in strengthening the activity by co-operation and by the elimination of undesirable duplication. To estimate the restraints, in terms of budgetary ,support, availability of space, the needs of Ontario, potential enrolment and the requirements of academic balance which indicate the optimum order of magnitude of the university’s collective activity in the year 1975-76. To indicate and make known to the university community the instances of innovation and experiment in academic activity which may be prototypes for more general application throughout the university of Waterloo.

Method
Project I - Chairmen of academic departments to produce three memoranda, as outlined. Project II - Input from the deans. Project III - Sundry projects analyzing the total university activity, giving values by department units. Observations
The doing of this work of appraisal and enquirv will likely in itself lead various responsible officers of the university to come to grips with many of the questions indicated above. ~ It would perhaps be wrong to map out projects beyond the items I, II, and III above until they are completed and some appreciation of their value can be made. It should be understood that the highly confidential nature of much of this programme of appraisal makes it inappropriate for the eyes of the general university community. Nevertheless, the conclusions from this activity with statistics generally stated, should be reported to the president’s Advisory Council and the Senate. Procedure academic

While not suggesting any set form for this memorandum, the following sentences may be useful. can be Departme& classified under the three categories : l Where achikvement of excellence is not tied to a growth in the number of faculty, l where achievement of excellence is tied to a growth in the number of faculty, and l areas where it is problematic that high priority should be given to committing limited resources.

In circumstances of budgetary constraint, what are the priorities of the department in appropriating its budget?

The deans of the units of faculty status will read, mark, inwardly digest, and observe in confidence upon the memoranda of their chairmen (Project 1). The dean of graduate studies will likewise review and observe upon the memoranda of chairmen. All deans will propare a confidential memorandum separate from the memorandum envisaged above (responding to the same sort of questions as envisaged in project 1, 3,) opening to their colleagues their understanding of the present circumstances and planning of the faculty unit under their control. This is envisaged as a reasonably brief resume of their faculty’s circumstances prepared for the eyes of the other deans and the> vice-presidents and president only. History

Barry Foord will develop a confidential report indicating the incidence of merit salary increments that have been awarded to present full-time members of faculty. On the assumption that merit increments are an indicator _ of the individual’s worth to the university, this exercise will hopefully supply a basis for observing upon the memoranda of chairmen under project 1.

A scientifically determined sample of our alumni will be asked to complete a questionnaire which will elicit their appraisal of faculty and departments. Further investigation by external appraisers of particular persons and or departments
The crux of our problems in selfappraisal is the establishment of “bench marks” which will allow some degree of “standardization” between departments and faculties within the university and “standardization” between elements at this university and similar units in Canada. It may be, that the activity of ACAP will supply some of these “bench marks”. In other cases, it may be necessary to solicit letters from external authorities or to engage specialists to make determinations. Costing

Globe

well-known -but
by deanna kaufman the chevron
The insinuations and rumors which have been floating around the Kitchener downtown redevelopment issue were re-aired this week in a series of Globe and Mail articles. But while old skeletons were uncloseted the Ontario municipal board (OMB) okayed the rezoning of the city hall and market block, the last rezoning approval needed by the developers. The two articles written by Globe and Mail reporter Hugh Winsor detailed in quite nonestablishment newspaper style, the secret negotiations for the &milliondollar OxleaEaton redevelopment. Winsor. named Kitchener businessmen who as “pillars of the inner circle” appeared again and again as directors of the same companies. Walter Bean, for example, is deputy chairman and vice-president of Canada Trust which owns 10 per cent of Oxlea’s parent company. Bean also served as chairman of the Kitchener urban renewal committee, the group set up to promote downtown redevelopment. Bean’s successor as chairman of the urban renewal committee was C.N. Weber, current chairman of the Kitchener planning
board. J.E. Motz, publisher of the Kitchener-Waterloo Record, is also associated with Canada Trust. But more than anything Winsor took the K-W Record to task for acting as a “good corporate citizen” and agreeing to withhold information from its news columns on Oxlea’s interest in redevelopment. When the chevron asked assistant publisher K.A. (Sandy) Baird about the Record’s reaction he refused to answer directly but said: “My comment-the Record’s commentwill be in tonight’s paper on the editorial page.” But the comment was a reiteration of the Record’s position that it has always acted in the city’s best interests and will continue to do so. It also suggested that for muck-raking to take place their must be muck to rake-as though suppression of news to act as a chamber of commerce booster might not fit that category. Sid McLennan, Kitchener’s mayor, was not so hesitant to comment. The articles in the Globe and Mail, he said, present “their side of the story but left out, in my humble opinion, that this whole program was based on a vote of the people.” McLennan reasoned the accusation that
Rap room

Rap room, the student operated counselling facility, handled an average of 180 persons per month last term with 50 per cent of the problems involving depression and loneliness. The rap room, located in the campus center and open 24 hours a day, offers students an alternative to formal counselling. Volunteer staff try to tune in empathically to those who drop in helping them to recognize and accept their own feelings. Informality is the key-note and no one is hassled to disclose their name or fill out forms. Entries made in the log book are general comments and are used only tq
justify the budget and obtain statistics. The room itself contains a wealth of information in the form of leaflets and books on topics ranging from homosexuality to class timetables, from material on drugs to lists of clubs where one can meet people in a friendly nondating atmosphere. Counselling services support rap. room in two ways. Firstly in a financial capacity-they provide all funds for its operation. Secondly, a professional counsellor is on call for the rap room at all times to handle serious problems which cannot be handled by the volunteer himself. Many students who come in are ultimately referred to other agencies both on and off campus. Some of these include coun-

Posters and flyers will be distributed before monday telling where the lectures may be viewed.

‘US power
not
total’
Canada as David to the United States’ Goliath should not fear American domination so much, James Eayrs said in a public lecture Wednesday. The U.S. cannot use all its power against Canada any more than it can use it against other states, and Canada should not be so terrified, the university of Toronto professor said. In his lecture on the impermanence of power, Eayrs said power should not be considered something evil in itself and that non-violence does not preclude the use of power.
Ghandi although non-violent was skilled in the use of power, something quite different than force. It was assumed, he said, that whoever held a monopoly on nuclear weapons would control the world. This was proved false by the fact that while the U.S. had monopoly control, it also had severe foreign policy setbacks in eastern Europe following the second world war. It is equally false to assume, as did John F. Kennedy as president of the United States, that whoever controlled outerspace would control the world.

Pierre Vallieres gets job with federal government (CUP&The liberal government views it as Canadian democracy in action; the Quebec left sees it as the selling out of a man once symbolic of the class struggle and Quebec separatism. And Pierre Vallieres? Well, he has a job now and he won’t go hungry. Because Vallieres, only a week after giving himself up to police, is now working on a federal government project (Local Initiatives Program) in the Mont Laurier region of Quebec. He got the job through Canada Manpower. The controversial author of “White Niggers of America” who only a short time ago was advocating the overthrow of the ‘Canadian government, is free on bail but is facing charges of counselling to kidnap and murder.

The former hero of the Quebec and Canadian left is now legitimizing the federal court system, and the federal government’s seasonal attacks on unemployment. In two astounding weeks Vallieres has come up from underground, given himself up to the authorities, endorsed the Parti Quebecois, condemned the FLQ, and publicly supported electoral procedures and social reform as the best way to build a better Quebec: Vallieres once called himself a Marxist, but as Manpower Bryce MacKasey said in defence of the federal government’s hiring of the ex-revolutionary, “We’re glad he has rediscovered federalism .” -

HALIFAX (CUP&A unique drug , campaign launched in Halifax during mid january by the New Morning collective, a youthoriented political collective similar to the Toronto-based Red Morning has received a good response from the city’s young people. The collective began what they term an “anti-death drug cam7 paign” by calling on HalifaxDartmouth young people concerned about the issue to organize .around it. The principle drugs concerning New Morning are methedrine, heroin and methadone (an opiate slightly less addictive than heroin and used to treat heroin addicts). These drugs were chosen because of their increasing use among the area’s young people. The one example New Morning used was the death of two young people .from methadone overdoses and the unconfirmed reports of four similar deaths. Only one person involved had a prescription for the drug. The term “death drug” is being applied because the use of drugs is leading addicts and users to eventual death, according to New Morning. They also view use of the drugs as a “phoney rebellion” leading to suicide. 2 They accuse the local narcotics squad of arresting young people for the use of or traffick in soft drugs, a term under which they include hash, marijuana and hallucinogens, and of doing nothing to impede the street sale of addictive drugs. They also blame local doctors for their liberal prescription of. methadone in particular to young people who claim to be heroin addicts and who then either sell the drug on the street at a profit or use it themselves. This street selling, of methadone is not unique to Halifax. Windsor and Vancouver are other areas according to Doctor William Craig, head of the federal government’s Directorate on Non-Medical Drug Use. The area young people have responded “enthusiastically” to postering, pamphleteering and talking according to a New Morning source. Ex-speed users and others have helped with the distribution of information, they said.

Oh! The waning days 2 of Student Power In the following chevron special report an attempt has been made to determine to students are still involved in the determination of their futures and their courses, and to ascertain to what extent societies on campus are fighting for student rights and power.
what degree
To do this the chevron contacted a number of the societies that are more actively involved on campus or are more influential. Information was asked of the people in these societies and in most cases freely given. To substantiate what the societies said opinions were sought from a number of other people on campus concerning student power, awareness and what they thought the societies were doing. As wide a view as possible was sought so many different outlooks were necessary. To obtain this wide view there is a statement by Boris Prociuk, undergrad engineer, an interview with the Dean of Math, an interview with a first year arts student and an interview with a member of the science faculty. As well there are interviews with each president of the societies involved in the study.
EX-MATHSOC PREZ SEZ
“Senate is the screw....”
T
he mathsoc anti-calendar is paid . for by society fees. Members of the executive of the council feel that it is mathsoc’s duty to produce an anti-calendar each year. Questionnaires are distributed in the classes, each student being asked to fill out one for each professor that he has and each course. There have been som / troubles at times getting e questionnaires into the classes, t otmpbe filled out but these have usually been slight. This year’s anti-calendar has been polled and the information is being computerized. When the calendar is finished a copy of all remarks and results are sent to each professor. The calendars are printed up and distributed free to mathsoc members. One interesting aspect of the math anti-calendar is the correlations done at the end of the book. These contain many interesting facts, some of which will be useful in refining the questionnaire to more exactly fit the requirements and tell the true state of the classes and courses. Members of the mathcos executive feel tha tthe society should be more educational than social. They feel that the federation is quite able to provide most of the social needs of students and that mathsoc should be doing more. One way they are trying to do more is to make the students more aware of what they are doing and what the students can do. But they are running into a lot of apathy. There are acclamations to many executive posts. Ex-president Mike Conroy says of the situation “most students are content just to have pubs. Jim Sinclair voices similar feelings when he says “the society is just here to keep the students amused.” But in the end, no matter how responsive the math faculty is, students still run into the senate. Mike Conroy says, “The faculties are just as oppressed as we are. It’s the senate that’s the screw.”
In an effort to involve more people and to reduce apathy mathsoc council this year increased its membership from seven to eighteen. The society is having the heads of each department write an account of the relevance of the courses in their departments and the relevance of the entire department’s subject, for example real math. These are being printed in the math medium, the mathsoc paper, which is published every monday. But mathsoc is not spons h ing any guest lecturers this year. Most of the student-faculty committees in math are not, according to Mike Conroy, bastions of student power. In most cases the amount of student representation is negligible or nonvoting. For example the faculty committee has two students and the entire math faculty on it. In such a case the students can do little more than to observe and to report back to the rest of the student body. One important exception to this rule, the result of student activism this year, is the curriculum committee. -In november a number of students, led by Tom Purdy and Mike Conroy, felt that the computer science department did not offer enough variety and so students graduating from the. programme were not ready for industry. Purdy and Conroy organized a bitch session that was packed. The two then went to the curriculum committee and the programme was changed. But to ensure that programmes were more relevant to industry and to the students the curriculum committee, then made up of one grad math student and the rest faculty, opened up giving two more seats to undergrad students. As it stands now there are two undergrads, one grad and five faculty. Although still outnumbered numerically the students on the committee do have a great deal of voice as there is a split between the pure mathematicians and the applied mathematicians.

D
ean Sprott feels that the anticalendar seems to serve a purpose although there are a& number of faculty who view it with a great deal of grief. But he feels that it does have many setbacks that justify to some extent their misgivings. It tells what was wrong rather than what is wrong with math courses and profs. It must be interpretated properly if it is to be a fair means of evaluation. Questions concerning the relevance of classroom material he feels are poor as not many students are able to effectively judge the relevance of what they are learning. He fears also that it can become a popularity contest, for example one prof gives less homework and assignments and so is more popular. In math the dean feels, there is not as great an amount of communication between student and professor as there is in arts. This results in a different case for math students. He says that mathsoc seems to be trying to push students into political awareness but it does not seem to be having a great amount of success. He feels that the students are placid and don’t care a great deal. There are a number of students who do attend faculty meetings but only sporadically. So far, prof Fryer revealed, attendance of the students on the curriculum committee has been poor but this may be due to the time of the
committee’s meetings, a subject now under revision. But if the students do not start to appear at meetings he does not see any use in their being represented at all. He believes that students should be allowed the time and place in which to say things that are valid but would not like to see representation just for the sake of representation. Committees in math are kept to a minimum size because it is felt that this allows a greater amount of efficiency. It is not done, the dean says, to block student participation. In fact the dean says he has no objections to democracy on the campus within reasonable limits. He does not feel that a majority vote is the right one in all cases. He would like to see more students attending faculty meetings so that they can see “the inanity” of the council and its meetings. At council meetings students should be giving insights into their feelings so that the faculty can act on them to improve things. But in the end there has to be some one to make the decisions. He confirmed- the statement by Mike Conroy that the math faculty is just as oppressed as the student by the senate. He feels that a strong math society might strengthen math faculty’s position in the senate and so seems to line himself up with student power.

the faculty concerned became too uptight about the thing, and therefore opposed it.
Artsoc anti anti-calendar resident Eric Mackie this year tried to organize a course critique for-. arts. He prepared the groundwork, worked out prices and presented artsoc council with the proposal for an arts anticalendar. But council voted it down although there were a number of people on council who had expressed interest in having it done. Mackie feels that the cause of its failure was the fact that it would involve work, something many council members did not seem willing to undertake. However Mackie still has hopes of being able to push people into one next year. He feels that an arts anti-calendar must be done ‘on a faculty basis and not just by departments. Department clubs have in the past tried to put out an anticalendar, but have not been able to as

Stan Spencer who works for the dean of undergraduate students, is paid one month’s salary by engsoc and during that month he distributes the questionnaires and handles their computerization. The results are printed up in book form and kept in the engsoc office for any student or faculty to look at. A copy of all comments and results concerning him is sent to each professor. The professors usually take the findings of the critique seriously and Gino says there have been cases where a professor has been moved to change his presentation and class manner due to the results of the critique. In an effort to keep the critique in tune to the needs of the changing years engsoc has this year set up a committee to study and review the questions asked on the critique questionnaires. Engineering has a unique system of class profs. In their initial year each class is assigned a prof who, ideally, is their prof for the four years that they are in attendance at the university. Although it does not work perfectly all the time this system allows students to go to their class prof with any problems and he is to try to resolve them. Engsoc is responsible for a great many student-faculty boards and committees. There is the undergrad students committee which reviews courses and curriculums with a number of student reps on it.

At the time of writing artsoc is doing very little politically or socially. Mackie feels that it does not have the support needed from the students to organize politically. But it is trying to build up what it sees as a grass roots political movement. However to do this they have to fight a contradiction. To gain student support Mackie feels. that- the society must move into a political context. But to become political the society has to have student support. One of the main problems for artsoc in organizing the students is the wide variance of studies and the size of the faculty. Too, many students become involved with constituent clubs and ignore the parent society as a result. The writer has attended a general meeting of the sociology union that was also attended by Eric Mackie and Dave Chapley. Both were unknown to the sot union president. The very size of Arts is a factor that has to be contended with. In a faculty as large it is hard for a student to have any greater interest than a quizzical apathy. Many students, Mackie feels, do not have any faith or knowledge of what they as a student can do and this only increases their apathy. However artsoc has some things to work with. Except for a few (who are unfortunatly in power positions) the arts faculty is generally receptive to student requests. There is a need for a grievance board within arts. Mackie hopes that this might come about next year when the federation is going to take a greater interest in society affairs and will be backing more ventures of the different societies. Mackie feels that this will be good as it will be necessary for artsoc to work through a central organization if it is to grow.
council with two voting members, usually the president of the interm society and one other. There are students on the exams and promotions committees to ensure that a student is not treated unfairly. There are four students on the department of coordination, engineering’s out term job placement office, again to ensure that students are treated fairly. Reports from ugsc, the undergraduate students committee, are given regularly at engsoc council meetings and published in the engineering “briefs”. Gino considers the system as it stands now (although it certainly does not constitute real student power and involvement) is reasonably fair and workable. The importance of the students on the committees mentioned is not immense but they do have some influence. But in the end at1 decisions of the committees have to go to the senate for approval and as Gino Nicolini said “the senate is certainly not a rubber stamp for decisions coming out of the studentfaculty committees or councils.”

No communication says first year student hen Scott came to this university he had received no items from artsoc detailing what the society was, what it did or even that he was a member. (this information is contained in the calendar but he never came across it there). He was not here for orientation and so he missed out on any advertising done by the society then. During this term he has received one newsletter from the psychology union, probably because he is registered in some psych courses. Apart from this there has been no communication between him and artsoc. Shown a list of constituent clubs of artsoc he said that he had not been aware that the clubs even existed. At the beginning of the -year he should have been given a list of the clubs and information pertinent to them he feels. Perhaps then he would have gotten involved with the clubs and artsoc. The non-communication of artsoc with its members is the greatest problem as he sees it. A good example of this is where does the society stand on the university of Waterloo act? TO his knowledge artsoc has not done anything to stop it or even to muster public response. He feels that artsoc could do an immense amount to involve the students under it in this issue. Perhaps, he feels, each society should be doing the groundwork for Terry Moore by finding and organizing the students who are willing to work. He says “I could see myself getting involved if somebody %-approached me or somehow informed me that they in artsoc needed help. But nothing is ever done to inform me. Art-

or years Engsoc has been one of the best known, if not the 5ggest student society on the Waterloo campus. Its reputation is mostly due to the now famous (if somewhat pornographic) Welcome Back Stag held within the first two weeks of every term. The event is faithfully attended by many of the hard working, future prominent citizens and a grand time is had by all in getting thoroughly drunk. The next day is usually spent in trying to recall who did what to whom and of course an attempt is made to remember what the stripper looked like. Engsoc’s second gift to posterity is the Rigid Tool who’s phallic inference is not totally accidental. The most closely guarded of all mascots, it holds the distinction of never having been stolen by a rival society or university and is better known, within the faculty, than the dean of engineering. Unfortunately society members are only willing to support such activities and Engsoc has been forced’ to publicize them at the expense of many of its more worthwhile activities. As a result, many

It could be used a lot more effectively than it is now.” Concerning student power on campus, Scott knows little. He has no knowledge of any student-faculty committees within arts. He has heard of one stu-fat committee-that set up to investigate the parking regulations-although he doesn’t know anything about it. Discussing Mackie’s suggestion of a grievance board he thought it was a good idea but wondered just how much use would be gotten out of it and therefore how effective it would be. One method of increasing student power he suggested was the creation of an arts anti-calendar. This would be sent out to students in august before they preregistered. This would be especially beneficial in the case of first year students. They would get a better chance to find the courses they want and they would feel that the society was there for them and would be more willing to take an acitve part in society activities. When asked “where& your opinion, does the real power on this campus exist ?” he replied “where’s Burt’s office?‘!
of the various sub-committees which are attempting to correct the problems encountered by graduates heading into industry and undergraduates at the university, are understaffed and greatly overworked. Committees such as the. Student Advisory Council (to the coordination department) the,. Examinations and Promtions Committee and the Engineering Faculty Council are virtually unkown to the undergrad and their work and recommendations are left buried beneath ads for a pub or engineering weekend. True the society’s aim has been fulfilled, but this has been accomplished by the hard work of a small group of students, while the rest lean back and pat themselves on the back as if to think that all their whining and bitching to classmates has brought it about. ._ Perhaps a. better organized orientation program and more emphasis on the work of the various committees will bring about a bigger turnout of the membership. As it stands, just too damn many engineers are hiding behind the “too much work, no time” bullshit and still reaping the benefits of the society’s presence. Perhaps an increase in student participation will allow Engsoc to become a powerful force, not only on campus but also in the engineering profession. The above has been a prepared article by engineering undergrad Boris Prociuk. Opinions expressed in it are--- his.

SS publishes its own course critique. The forms and questionnaires Iwere made available in the classes and in the society office, have been filled out and are now in the process of computerization. Unlike math or engineering, - Environmental Studies comprises many different departments that have little or no connection between them. This factor makes it difficult, almost impossible, to effectively organize students on a faculty-wide basis. The society therefore striyes to encourage students to form year and course clubs such as planning ‘73 and the geography -club. In this context ESS executive feels that the prime purpose of the society is to encourage a social milieu for all members of the society. When conflicts arise students can work through their year or course clubs to effectively gain a greater voice. Instead of one or two students going to a professor about a complaint a whole year club can become involved without too much difficulty. Ian Robertson said that this is effective because the year clubs usually are quiet and subtle and do not try to frighten opponents into submission, something a greater organization might be tempted to do. This makes for a better communication between year clubs and faculty. The student caucas is the organization Gthin ES that handles most of the academic complaints of students in ES. All members of ES are eligible for membership but it is usually made up of man-environment and geography students. It and ESS work closely together with ESS allowing it to be the -judicial body for academic complaints. Projects undertaken by ESS are usually done by council- members but only because there is never any one willing to come in and help although they would be welcomed.

The society has done a number of t-hings this and other academic years to increase student power and awareness. This year they subsidized payment for posters advertising a series of rap sessions held by planning ‘74. They subsidized a group of students’ (during the anti-amchitka days) entry into the anti-amchitka parade down king street. They also planned to hold a symposium on amchitka but were unable to pull it \ through‘. Last year the society wrote a number of letters to the library committee protesting what it felt to be unfair rules that gave special priveleges to grads and faculty. Although they had no effect then, the rules have since been changed. Also last year in the architecture department the students became concerned that their director was not really the best for the job. They asked the federation and ESS to help them. A number of meetings were held with the faculty. These led to a series of briefs and general meetings of the students. The architecture students demanded that the administration replace their director, T.Bjornstad. Faced with this the administration acquiesced. Mr. Bjornstad is now a member of the faculty. In this case ESS worked with the federation and there are some other cases where they have. The federation is using an ESS booklet as the basis for their pamphlet on what the federation does for the student. This year they afso worked together to bring about the ice cream vending operation in the campus centre and the coke machines in social sciences. The federation told ESS that they would support them and subsidized any losses accrued by the machines. Up to this time it was the unofficial policy that all food and drink concessions were the responsibility of food services. However a ten cent coke machine was considered an improvement over the pepsi machines that were selling coloured water for fifteen cents. The machines were brought in and the administration wanted to throw them out. But the federation and ESS stood together in mutual support forcing the administration to relent and leave the machines alone. But ESS president does not feel the battle is over as he thinks the administration may be planning to remove the machines in the summer when there are few students around to protest. ESS has also published a handbook and a student directory for members of the society.

n the course of the preceeding interviews a number of facts came out that may not at first seem readily apparent to the reader. Many times when talking with society heads I was blandly assured that the faculty were very responsive except for a few exceptions. There was even one case ‘where I was told that the faculty were oppressed. But the facts do not bear this out. If the faculty is as responsive as they say, and they are as oppressed, why do they not band with the students to form a coalition that would have the possibility of a strong power group? Why have there never been cases where the
I
faculty came to the students and asked for help? ItI seems more likely that the faculties are responsive to minor unimportant things but, like to steer away from big issues that might affect their jobs. _ Too many times society heads- were trying to hide behind “well we don’t have a broad mass of student support” to excuse the fact that their society has not been fulfilling their role as a power instrument. Too often minor, events that do- not really constitute student power and involvement were cited as proof of the society fulfilling its role. Far too often the society heads have quote student apathy as the main cause of their having done very little. But in the end the question arises, where does the power on this campus really lie? In my opinion, I find I must agree with Scott Simpson when he replied, “Where’s Burt’s office?”

One simple way is to switch to Tampa’x tampons. There are so many reasons for tryI ing them. A doctor developed inter_ nally .worn Tampax tampons for girls like you. Their gentle three-way expansion gives you dependable protection. The silken-smooth don, tainer-applicator makes them easy and comfortable to insert. And both the applicator and tampon may be . flushed away. Best of all, Tampax tampons really do help you forget about “problem days.”

lhiwat fadi6 struggles to impro-
, Members of radio Waterloo attended’a general meeting in the campus centre pub on Wednesday 11. Nothing was acjanuary complished. This appears to be due to- internal conflict which stems from a number of problems, some of which have lingered on from last year. Jerry Cooke seems to be just as unpopular this term as he was last term. Last term members of radio expressed disWaterloo satisfaction with him because of his authoritarian manner, his irresponsible behavior on a number of occasions, and his harrass’ment of individual staff members. Staffers felt that the interests of continuing effective operation of radio Waterloo could best be served by removing him from all official capacities with respect to radio Waterloo. Cooke’s behavior remains an issue and he is constantly breaking the rules and regulations set up by radio Waterloo. On one occassion during the summer session, at a meeting with city officials and city planners present, Cooke rolled a joint and smoked up in front of them. On another occasion he had to be removed from the premises by force. r
Since the resignation of program manager Dave Gillick and news manager Doug Baer last summer, radio Waterloo has had no elected executive. Iri sepnominations for the tern ber, various positions were not- held now the people with and authority are the key holders. The federation met with radio Waterloo on six occasions. On
by Charlie
plate,
two occasions radio Waterloo was not informed as-to the nature of the meetings and did not send a representative. At the remaining four meetings, the federation did not have quorum and the meetings had to be cancelled. At the last meeting on wednesday, january 2, a board of directors was elected. Tom Mcdermott applied for ’ the managerialposition, but Cooke replied “If you are running I am running; I don’t want to see anyone get in by acclamation.” As it turned out, Cooke is now the coordinator for the board of directors and the rest of the board consists of Mcdermott, Rod Cooper, and Fred Bunting. The rest of the board are dissatisfied with the outcome and do not feel that Cooke is capable of doing the job. Mcdermott said that 40 per cent of the people involved with radio Waterloo are new and that they do not know what Cooke is really like. He went on to say that Cooke presented an impressive foGmat about how long he had been with the station, but failed to mention that he had had only been manager for one year and that this had a great influence on the voting. Two formal complaints have been issued against Cooke already and his removal in the near future appears imminent. _ In november of last year, radio Waterloo expressed a desire to obtain an FM licence. In a letter which appeared in a november edition of the chevron Gerry Wooton stated that the participants of radio Waterloo demanded that investigations be undertaken to determine the possibility of removing radio Waterloo from the financing and control of the federation and establish radio Waterloo as a society. This investigation did not occur.
This year radio Waterloo recieved a bare minimum budget of 6,000 dollars. This term no one . is being paid and no one is recieving an honorarium. For the future Mcdermott hopes to see radio Waterloo obtain an fm licence, but for this to happen, they will need a guaranteed budget in the neighbourhood of 14,000 dollars a year, and a lot of cooperation among its members. I The possibility of obtaining an fm licence now is very slim because it will cost nearly 25,000 dollars, a figure much too high for the federation even to consider. Federation president Terry Moore is concerned about the viability as a media for the amount of money spent and the number of people involved which is roughly fifty, including the number of people it reaches. The two questions raised are: is radio Waterloo worth the expenditure and can it develop? Radio Waterloo as it stands now is a club, and Moore feels that an increase in their budget is not viable unless it serves a large percentage of the student popu lation. Up until just recently radio Waterloo has had no communication with the federation. The board of communication un-
officially exists, but it does not have an official chairman nor does it seem to serve any function. Perhaps the most important element causing the internal instability is the lack of a competant co-ordinator and the lack of cooperation among the members. This year 40 per cent of the people in radio Waterloo are new. People are enthusiastically accepted on a trial basis without a screening process and without any experience. At the january meeting the majority decided to appoint a six man board to approve which shows are up to par. This was to be accomplished by telephoning the people involved * and providing them with constructive criticism with the hope of upgrading the production quality. This board did not come into existence, but tom mcdermott stated that he hopes to see its formation soon.
with radio, serve some variable function involving the students, and supply the uniwat population with what they want to hear. Radio Waterloo is one of the most lenient of the campus stations. It does not have a frozen format and it is very loosely organized making it difficult for it to fulfil1 its expected functions and meet the needs of its listeners.
One other problem that radio Waterloo has been confronted with for a few years is its location. Next term radio Waterloo hopes to move to a more central location on campus. Possibly the campus centre again, the Dana Porter library, or to the student set-&es building upon completion, will be available. . Without ‘the dedicated work and time of Bunting, Mcdermott, Strain, Epp and Wooton, radio Waterloo would have little more significance than a jupe box. Many people feel that radio Waterloo is not fulfilling its, functions. It should provide an avenue for student involvement
One of the biggest complaints about radio Waterloo from the students is that they do not like most of the music which is played. The people with shows play what they want to hear and in some cases their taste in music is not something to be desired. On the other hand the purpose of radio Waterloo is not to duplicate what is heard on the other licenced stations. Radio Waterloo offers a number of theater programs and’ news castings of which most of the uniwat population is unaware of. Only I2 per cent of the off campus students have cable outlets and therefore the majority can not receive radio Waterloo broadcasts. Ironing out the problems existing in radio Waterloo will be a difficult chore, but nothing as drastic as the lock change and the closing of radio Waterloo for a week last april is expected. Slowly and with the assistance of the federation it is expected that radio Waterloo will fulfil1 the needs of the uniwat listeners.

Dr D Demarco of St Jerome’s feels unlistened to by Birth Control. Birth Control feels hassled by Demarco. So in an effort to iron out the bad feelings between the two groups, a meeting was held at St. Jerome’s, jan 31 to discuss their differences. However, judging from the reports that came out soon after the meeting, it served mainly to kindle a hotter fire. Birth Control people understood that Demarco meant to imply that he was planning to lay charges when he asked a member if he was aware of the law concerning counselling in abortion. Expecting a raid, the Birth Control people locked up their files. ’ In fact, Demarco’s intent was to measure the rift between the students’ and the government’s thoughts on abortion. However, all bad did not come out of the meeting. According to Father Firreto, who was moderator, the meeting was fairly successful. Janet Merrill director of the centre, was able to ask what Demarco specifically disliked about the handbook it circulates. Demarco had objected to the political type statements the publication makes. Merrill suggested that, for the sake of neutrality, the centre ask the federation for money to put an insert in the booklets saying that the opinions expressed in it are not necessarily those of Birth Control.

in a different ‘perspective and the meeting which may have been educational. Firretto said that even some of the more strong minded members of the centre were willing to look at the abortion issue again. He added that not all of the members had the issue resolved in their minds. At this point it seems necessary to correct a couple of mistakes that were made in the last tuesday issue of the chevron. The title which read “Birthright a New Opinion about Abortion”, had little to do with the article. The interview was with Dr Demarco not birthright. Also in the last line of the bulleye, “perhaps operating in the tiny microcosm in which Demarco does, anyone could construct equally dudicrous arguments against abortion” was written by the editors not the 4 writer.

Birth Control’s poster asking for control of the population explosion was brought up. Demarco’s claim is that the poster does not take into consideration the fact that some experts see population as no problem in some areas and underpopulation> as being an issue in other places. In any case he is concerned that the objectivity of a group that doesn’t search out both sides of an issue. It has a responsibility to be objective as a highly visible organization. The Birth Control people asserted that the poster was contraceptive in nature and suggested that if Dr Demarco has a better idea, to bring it up. . However, the main improvement that came out of the meeting was that some of the groundwork for an element of trust was set up, so Firretto feels. Both sides were able to see one another

make it as a straighter version of Randy Newman. Steve Goodman (Buddah BDS 5096) 9 however, is an album which afflicts him with oppressive orchestral and nashville arrangements which merely emphasize his limitations. Goodman also does “Jazz Man,” but his version won’t have Baby James losing any sleep: he sings it in an offhand, totally uninvolved manner, while six guitars and three pianos do their imitation of The Band behind him. When he gets the chance to escape from the general clamor, he can be very engaging, as on his “Would You Like to Learn to Dance” and John Prine’s “Donald and Lydia,” where the absence of heavy accompaniment makes his rather thin voice seem infectious instead of inadequate. For the most part, however, the mismatching of vocalist and instrumental support renders this an undistinguished album, which would have been summarily dismissed if I were not aware of Goodman’s capabilities as a solo performer. Hopefully his next record will give him more space to stretch out and make the most of his good qualities.

After a disappointing finish last year, the bridge players of the university of Waterloo came through in fine style at this year’s Intercollegiate Bridge Championships, held last weekend at Western. Waterloo swept four of the top five places in the Open Pairs, and also captured the teamof-four crown. Special congratulations go to John Gilbert and Joe Handler, who were first overall in the pairs contest, and with Dougs Smyth and Andrews won the team championship. What looked to be a tight race between Waterloo, Toronto, and Western (led by Gord Chapman, a fine bridge player formerly of U of W) after the first round quickly turned into a romp as the Gilbert-Handler-Smyth-Andrews aggregation turned in a superb 22 out of 27 Sunday Afternoon. One of the factors contributing to
the downfall of Toronto was some psychic action by Paul Holtham, which might have lost as much as it gained. He held xx &xx xxxx Kxxx, and knowing his opponent had difficulty handling psyches, elected to open one spade. His left hand opponent, holding a balanced twenty points, including a five-card spade suit, overcalled one only notrump, and played it there, making four. Meanwhile, at the other table, Waterloo was busy makingnine tricks in three notrump, after a more orthodox auction. The ensuing dialogue between the Toronto pair, who were somewhat less than delighted with the result, did nothing to improve partnership confidence. Board-a-match N-S Vul. Dlr. S

Not wishing to give anything away, West decided upon the passive lead of the club. In a sense he was right, for on the lead of a small spade, declarer would take all the tricks, via a spade-heart simple squeeze. South won the lead on the table,. cashed the K-A of diamonds, and when the knave appeared, ran his minor-suit winners, producing the following positions: On the lead of the diamond five, West must toss a spade, else the board’s heats will run. Declarer countered by pitching a
heart, whereupon he conceeded a. spade, claiming the balance. The hand illustrates an interesting point of defence. When there is a long suit due to appear in dummy, even if it is solid, forcing declarer to cash the suit early may produce serious problems for him. He may wind up squeezing his hand, and will almost certainly have communication difficulties. Note that on the lead of the Queen of hearts, entry problems force declarer to settle for five-odd.

Though other institutions may crumble in the competition for a bigger and -better university, FASS somehow only gets dog-eared. Basiclly, it’s fun. It creates some energy and enthusiasm where there seems to be no source, no . inspiration. For many of the people who participate, FASS is an op-
portunity to allow a little “mad” perspective to seep out of cool, sometimes somber exteriors. It shows in the actions, in the writing, in the entire production. Although at times far fetched and never quite a work of art, Fass is a theatrical demonstration of “people inside people”. ’ Oh come now, you say? Well, let’s put it this way.

The- following comme;ltbare in response to concern expressed regarding the “small” dry powder fire extinguishers installed in the chemistry II building. The fire marshal’s office requires that a “10 BC” rated extinguisher be provided for science rooms or laboratories. An extinguisher with this rating is capable of extinguishing the following types of fires: “B” Fire: 10 square feet of flaming liquid surface, such as * chemicals. “C” Fire: Any electrical fire in its early stages. The “10 BC” rating can be obtained with the use of a 15 pound / C.O.2 or a 5 pound dry powder unit. Both have the same rating. Although the dry powder unit is smaller, considerably lighter, and contains one-tFiird the amount of ‘. extinguishing agent (by weight) it is equally effective in fire fighting capabilities . Many users prefer the dry powder unit since ‘the blanket of powder will remain on the liquid surface and prevent reflashing. Clean up of powder residue is considered to be insignificant under the circumstances. The C.O.2 gas on the other hand, evadorates readily and does not provide the added insurance of a flame smothering blanket, N. Ozaruk Director of Safety Physical Resources

There is a tradition in this college, unconsciously perpetuated each year by those who live here, the result of a rampant attitude of developed indifference. The tradition is one of ‘intolerance for the chevron’s obliquity of lineament ; indeed, the tradition has long been one projecting the idea that the chevron had a worthless content’ and need not be read. I have found the chevron office not untennated, for having been to meetings of the staff (held mondays at eight sharp), I know far better than my colleagues that there is something in the paper, in its people. Your article on the sad state of them 2 was in an unprecedented fashion, objective, and forward. I take classes there and was thusly aware of the situation. Thank you for an excellent report and may you continue to persevere. A propos, you might like to know that the fans in the classrooms are all defective, too. Respectfully yours Michael J. Spicer, JFR

The first stirrings of passion erupted in Bakunin with his discovery of romanticism and its elevation of feeling to the apex of human life: Though this preoccupation lasted long enough for him to infuse his sisters with its spirit, it gave way to an appreciation of Kant. With this commenced a triumphant march through german metaphysics in which Bakunin was, characteristically, less concerned with intricacies presented by thinkers like Fichte and Hegel than with living through the modes of life warranted by their philosophies. Predictably enough, this brought him to Germany and the Young Hegelians where the light of -european revolt was beginning to flicker. Here he met Marx (though there was no presentiment of the feud to come) and lived on the same street as Engels. In this period Michael shed his speculative trappings in order to become a “man of action” just in time for the revolutions of 1848. The lessons of those days were learned the hard way. ,Ten i years in jail, several chained in a russian dungeon, culminating in exile to Siberia taught Bakunin

that, more than life, he had to breathe the air of freedom. His escape and return to the European scene earned him an enthusiastic response from the new generation of revolutionaries as one of the few that had survived 1848 without growing the scales that ripen into left liberalism. Bakunin’s captivating presence often overwhelmed a new acquaintance. One could come to his senses only later, a member of several secret societies, sometimes after having no previous contact with politics at all. Carr remarks that even in his later years he remained somewhat of a child, spinning intrigues and devising secret codes with the gaiety of a harlequin, always within the revolutionary circles that sustained the substance of life for him. Hardly the prototype of a serious revolutionary (most of his schemes existed only in his head) and burning with a festering imagination, he composed scenarios solely around his one passion-revolt. He had his weaknesses, mostly for individuals, as he was incapable of a disinterested response
to a person, whether an enemy or a friend. Take the affair of Nechaev for example. Bakunin’s infatuation with this young russian allowed the, latter’s nihilism to influence his political philosophy, a strain that, while it earned him enemies in the International even after it was no longer relevant, blossomed into his acceptance of creative destruction, a doctrine that turned the already limp fire of social democracy to ice. We follow Michael through the experiences in which his thought and action begin to take definite form, anti-statism and anti-theism being his major themes, throught eh final battle with Marx which assured the breakup of the International rather than compromise the immortal pulse of revolt -and revolution to the sterility of council rooms and the subjection of authority and the State; then finally to his later years, where he wore proudly the banner of anarchism which Marxists still use to brand every free thought and murmur of spontaneity in a pathetically sterile attempt to stifle the unbounded creativity of individuality.

more aunt students as gainers from ,the report, mostly because they are the lowliest of the low now, and the only way is up. Students will gain, in power and in opportunities; however, they will pay more for it.
C
,
On the individualistic assumption ot “he who benefits pays”, the report gives individual students a fairer deal on the whole. That is, more people will be able to get into higher education more easily. This applies directly to students coming from families with incomes of less than $7,500 per year. Students with family incomes between $7,500 and $10,000 will pay on a sliding-scale at up to 50 percent of the cost of postsecondary education. This means that undergrad arts and science fees will go. up 50 percent; engineering fees about * 125 percent; and grad tuition fees about 350 percent. For those who aren’t entitled to grants, there will be -a loan system available, but unlike the present system, it will be all loan. And, unlike the , present system, students will pay interest on it from the time it is taken out. The above holds true for the first three years of university education. Beyond that the system is pure loan on the basis that those with more than three years university education get a .demonstrably .greater economic benefit from- their education, and the public pays a demonstrably excessive amount of money for it. Repayment is projected as an extra percent on personal income tax per year for fifteen years. However, how much of a percent is unclear, and what the interest accumulated forward on those previous interest-bearing loans will be is not stated. In addition, while the report generously states that if you don’t earn sufficient income during the fifteen years to cover the loan, it self-destructs; they do not say what happens if you make more than enough. All this assumes, of course, that there are jobs to go to, a question which the current economic crisis makes debatable. The report mentions this to the extent of one minor little footnote which, in, an off-handed manner, refers to the commission’s amazement at the dramatic tailing off of enrollments in 197 1-72.
Job opportunities on an individual basis will probably be made better if the commission’s recommendations go through. Their “accessible hierarchy of skills” proposes to make the system believe its own rhetoric of individual competitive opportunity; that is, doctor’s and lawyer’s sons, daughters, nephews, etc., should not have a- hundred times better chance of getting into medical or l&w school (if they want to go), than the son of some ordinary guy on the street. Then again, the proposed ten-year re-accreditation tests will clear some of the dead wood out of the professions. Overall, the implications of the finances section are that those who are here now will pay more, and, in league with those who come, will get some new and not insignificant power. The report calls outrightly for direct student power, even as far as the hallowed area of the budget. Even more significant in the long run is the power implied by the new financial deal. The move to doubled tuition etc., is linked to cutting back on educational expenses across the board. In terms of power, administration and faculty will be more dependent on students for a greater share of their operating funds. In traditional economic terms, which are I, also the terms the commission thinks in, it means putting more purchasing power in the hands of the consumer. In university terms, it means that the universities will have to attract and-hold students. In more concrete terms, it means that if the faculty don’t teach courses that students like, and in a way that they like, they will be looking for jobs. He who has ears.... Such may offend some ears in the university, however the student has always been treated as a consumer, and a passive and subservient one at that. The- commission simply recognizes this fact and pushes the logic foreward. In the logic and ideology of the report, “man-centered” education means the practice of possessive individualism. I

ount faculty as losers, and big onesat that. No matter where you might like to say they started from, faculty fortunes are headed down. Faculty are the least mentioned but *the most attacked group in the report. The faculty opportunistically inserted themselves in a buffer position between the administration-government and the student movement in 1968-69-70. They sold themselves as cops to cool out the student movement by policing their classrooms, fighting the radicals ideologically and granting -“academic” permission to bring the real cops on campus. In turn they got money in-the form of inordinate raises and power (representation on president’s council, etc.). Ironically, the radical student movement likely gave the faculty guild several more years of life‘ than it was entitled to. But the faculty are now made. to pay up. Without admitting it, the report is a frontal attack on the Academic Guild, that is, on the forms and conceptions of the university as a “community of scholars”, a self-governing entity of critical intellectual investigation which places faculty in the position of guardians of the enterprise. This is, of course, not the reality of the place; however, it has served as a valued definition of self for some, and a -smokescreen for others. It might have been more of a reality of the pre-World War II Canadian university which was a more humble, smaller and poorer place (but a place which produced Innis, MacPherson, Steacie to name a few who haven’t been matched since). In any case that is not the reality of today and the guild is in big trouble. As mentioned above, the faculty will now have to contend with actual student of power both directly in terms

They will also be pushed hard from two other sides. For some time, certainly in Ontario throughout the sixties, the government has had a significant hand in educational planning; as the report documents, government spending shot from about 39 million dollars per year in 1961 to 544 million dollars in 1971. The government is now, with a flourish of rhetoric about community involvement, going to take direct control. For the first time, they will be ableto start, stop and abandon programs directly, or at least through the quasidemocratic means of boards appointed by the Lieutenant Governor-in-Council. This will be about as democratic as the People’s Liquor Control Board, Water Resources Commission or Ontario Hydra. Scratch faculty power and ‘its economic base. The commission absent-. mindedly forgets to point out explicitly the implications of their recommendations on splitting research and instructional costs in relation to their p ro p osals on fees. Costs for education equal instruction time in the consumers’ market model of the Commission. At of faculty p resent, at least 25 percent salaries are supposed to cover research and other scholarly activities. “The rule of thumb for faculty in Ontario is assumed to be about thirteen teaching hours per week. It is assumed that most will ‘teach only around eight hours(and that isn’t even true except for junior faculty), and do research the other time. It is also assumed that this is how they spend their summers. Under the new system, this will all go by the board and in order to get their salaries, faculty will have to start doing what they are paid to do. Most will have to double their teaching loads or take a cut in salary. The new norm will be four classes a week with an average classroom size of 37 students; and, a faculty-student ratio of 1:24 instead of the present 1: 12. Research will be dealt with and applied for separately. The other financial “out” which has been used to cover up the slack has been graduate programs, which the Commission notes with dismay, have mushroomed. Grants for graduate programs will be cut in half at the same time as Province of Ontario Graduate Fellowships will be cut off. Presently a fulltime PhD candidate brings in $6,500 in operating funds. Under the new scheme, he will bring in $3,300, half of which he will pay himself. In plain language, those departments that are way over-extended on graduate programs, and particularly in their proport ion of graduatesto undergraduates, are going to be up against a wall. At Waterloo read for sure Philosophy, Psychology and German; and the recent firings in Science are but the tip of an iceburg. I --

AT THE WEDDING

(for Maria) Just when I thought this was the real dream: doing nothing. A stone sleeps in Twin Willows, Slmcoe salt under the skin and every rib grins in silence at other people slowly beating themselves to death from nine to five.
This midnight absence of fire, and your eyes asking the final questions: Why a Christ on every. hair of your head, metaphors delicate as wind, those frightened gestures from some past prophecy of pain? From you who once set fire to wet grass I with torches in your thighs, coaxed suns like butterflies on to your open palms, ’ spoke words as passion!ate as elephant trumpeting the moon?

A seducing sun pries open an eye-lid: Elmhurst Beach holds its cottage children like plums in its soft hand: Daphne, batik bikini on bronze, lies surrendered, and old Mr Mclver, safely sun-glassed, bares his rumpled chest and savours the popsicle of the sun.
Pardon my muted ways, lovely Jewish girl, the coral reef should have pounded on your white belly, the sun grown vermilion from the exotic spread of the peacock.
There’s
Maria sun-dancing, whipping foam from the Lake’s shallow mouth with tiny sticks of arms and legs. John curls his coffee bones to build my castles on his sand.

Blood of the sun still itching in your skin, ice on fire, fire on ice, I you shape a predictable carnival. Nor have you lost those Singhala ears that like the elephant hear the wood-apple fall gentle as a rain-drop on the sleeping lotus: it’s the glow in your eyes at bird-song under snow, or the drum-beat of ice. Not knowing where your father collected his wounds or how, not smelling Temple flowers, red jambu wet on rain-fresh trees, you miss nothing, free from your history’s pain.

Rumour had it that the hearse had stalled ‘cause the battery was dead. Rather ironic, a hearse-with a dead battery, but the grave situation was in the process of being remedied. After a serious conversation about which jail was the best, the daily routine of the inmates, and the benefits-of the privacy of the “hole”, we took eighty-eight seconds off for a coffee break. Soon the . . ...and the Welchade arrived and a coffee and Welch.ade was prepared.

when the fire died and the sun t veryone was super-charged came up. The world could now be beheld in the early morning light. The dam was visible spanning the banks of the river and a farm with a field of cows popped into view. The earth became a masterpiece of green fields and blond grass pulsating in the early morning breeze. The changing hues of colour caused by the ever brightening sky filled everyone with awe. But as time passed, U NO HU’s judgement hour edged closer and closer. He removed his tattered denim jacket to discard it when someone asked for it and accepted it with honour. He donned a shirt and lay in the hearse quietly rolling a cigarette. His long blond curly hair glinted in the soft morning light and the arrangement of his moustache and beard brought to mind old holy pictures that portrayed Jesus Christ. With a twinkle in his eye and a boyish,grin on his face he leaped from the hearse into a tree. Climbing along a branch to encompass the surrounding territory, he took a deep breath of the fresh country air he would soon be deprived of and lingered for a moment in absolute freedom. Everyone jumped into the hearse. U NO HU started it and the final ride to court began. With a magical mystery tour bouncing off the soft mauve carpeted walls and curtained windows, the driver zoomed past acres of countryside, a parked O.P.P. cruiser and soon arrived in town. There a few people fell off to wash the black charcoal from the nights fire or to freakout uncontrollably under a tree. U NO HU then drove silently but electrically through the heart of the city, picking up latecomers and wanderers, eventually arriving at home. There he had his last hot bath, a meal and a change of clothes. .The phone rang. His ride was ready and the time had come.

Then his lawyer asked some good questions like how many times has he been hassled as if to say ‘see?bias,hate,prejudice,undue propensity.’ Then his lawyer went on for approximately fourty-fourminutes, reciting excerpts from the Le Dain report, which really pissed the judge off, along with the vibes from the freaks in the gallery. Eventually even dudley’s ass got sore causing/him to wiggle around o’lot to relive his numb bum. Just before.everyone dozed off, the lawyer finished up and de judge report isn’t law, blew his nose and said, “The Le Dain commission therfore we must go by the law as it stands. The.maximum penalty for a summary conviction for marijuana and hashish is six months.’ U NO HU, YOU’VE COTTEM, ALL SIX OF ‘EM. U NO HU looked up to the sky as if to say ‘Lord forgive them’for they know not what they do.’ Pushing the pig-like cop away, he wandered into custody barefoot. The court adjourned and the cops hassled the freaks out and soon the hearse left the area. U NO HU was not there in body but remained with all in spirit. -

met Speedy that same afternoon. He was sitting on his’ lawn watching for cars and imagining hordes of narcs surrounded the area while pork-choppers flew overhead in reconnisance. “Why don’t they come!” he screamed. “They know I’m here, yet they haven’t come for- me!” I looked around and could see no one in sight. “There’s one of them!” he would say and point. The street is empty. “I spent the night in the woods so when they came for me they wouldnt find me!” He was insane, imaginng it all, for now he waas speeding his brains out. I finished my beer and went inside. Lippy phoned and told me he freaked out because when he-fell off the hearse he figured every one was plotting to kill him and did I find his sandles?

t was 9:30 A.M. and a score of freaks were on hand waiting for the proceedings to begin. A fat cop exclaimed that the court was now in session. Everyone was seated, then rose for the judge.

A fight in a blind alley, a gas theft, assault, six and one half dozen traffic violations and a truck with too much sand. The court adjourned for a few minutes so that everyone could indulge in a mid-morning nicotine rush., Drug addicts! When the session reassembled there were twenty freaks, a mary-jane offender, his father and a handfull of trans. The weed offender got off (literally) after his father spieled an appeal to the rep. of GOD on earth. Now it belonged to U NO HU and company. Vibrations filled the room. The ceiling floated overhead like a cloud, the walls and windows seemed to oscillate and waves of mixed emotion passed from the bench to the gallery.

The leather-coated caterpillar erected a revolving mustache on the television secrets, springing lazily into a goat’s ear and f/ring printed circuits at the elephant’s teeth roaring in the fluidity of a passing mention. Bursting feverish toward this eloquent signification, a captain’s finger ignored the crowd and fell intocicated into the vat of veiled completions entranced by a vanished synthesis. This was the first act and the arena was entrenched with slimy octopuses searing dialectically incongruous wounds on the remains of an industrial diamond. Pantheistic coffins, wheeling ceremoniously above the flight of a captured hawk, delighted an electrified atom dripping with elongated prongs salvaged from the ruins of the Third Unbreakable Rule of the Universe. The crowd was amused. Sensuous preliminaries spurned the tyranny of conscious deliberation and visibly mesmerized the mob with vertebrate harbingers swinging from geodesic thimbles. Travelling neuroses, flinging symbols uneasily into the earthenware fireside, succumbed to the temptations of realization. Escalation spiralled nebulously in the winged barnacles’s fascination and alighted self-consciously on a disappearing snowflake. Heads and arms were thrown into the arena, discarded ina moment of abandon, left to file ringlets on the permanent; but fell exhausted in joy. Honey liquids circled, infusing the scene with trembling orchids, stamping the tribal chant into transparent varnish. All were drunk with vertigo. Swinging, sailing fitfully in the glazed atmosphere, victorious cadavers-ignited with fury. The air was charged with electricity, thousands were overcome by rampaging telephones screaming “philanthropy”, ruffling their pockets with knives. Similarly, penguins grew enchanted into iron casks of vengence.

The authors of the Wright Commission report set themselves the task of seeking out the “inner logic” of the system of post-secondary education in Ontario. They did this, both’in their research and in their recommendations. What they did not do was questionthe inner logic of the system. In fact, the repoit basically reflects the present system, and then projects it into the future by extrapolating the experience of the past twenty years into the next twenty. In other words, education in Ontario for the next twenty years will be more of the same. In this sense the report is a radically conservative document. This does not mean that there will not be any changes. However, those which occur will be of a nature to consolidate the present system rather than to change it.

he most exciting thing about the report is that it announces this as a time of choosing and that means we are re-introduced to - politics. And, given that Wright is the new super Deputy-Minister for education, health and housing, he will be sending the reporr to himself for implementation. It won’t nose over @to some filing cabinet. The most startlihg political aspect of the report is that literally two-thirds of the principles, goals and proposals can be found within the resolution book of the Canadian Union of Students Congresses of 1967-68-69. They even appear in the same order as in the CUS books: -Universal accessibility; openness; transferability, etc. If the report is radical, it is, ideologically, a radical individualism; and, programatically, it is a radical attempt to consolidate the present order. What the politics of the Wright Commission and the politics of CUS have in common is the recognition that we are living in the midst of a general social crisis. We are in a socio-political breach in which bourgeois individualism and the family are breaking down with . the passing of iompetitive capitalism

conflict
The meeting on february 1, tuesday evening, called by Dr D DeMarco should be recorded as two separate sessions. It is my opinion that the first session was a great but expected success for all the people involved. That is, the Birth Control Centre and Birthright have resolved all their paranoic misunderstandings. Actually, these two organizations are both trying to provide a much needed service for the community. Despite their differences in beliefs and religious bias, I do believe it is definitely the conviction of working for the people that accelerated this prompt ‘-and much needed handshake. Birthright, to my knowledge, is an organization that would provide as adequately as possible for any girl that decides to carry the pregnancy to term. This might not have been possible for the majority of the unwed mothers due to the financial and personal problems. Indeed, at least to date, I believe that their services are beyond compare, at least in this community. On the other hand, the Birth Control Centre is an information bureau that is studentsponsored and staffed by volunteers. It has been trying hard to strive for neutrality in advertising, especially on abortions or carrying to full term as alternatives for unplanned pregnancy. Unfortunately, it is quite possible that the Centre might have to carry biased brochures or books because they are the best of its kind available. However, this is only due to the limmited available funds and publications on certain topic e.g. the McGill Birth Control Handbook. Yet, in no way is the Birth Control Centre going to stay satisfied and stop improving on its present calibre of services if there should be better obtainable literatures or posters available. Nevertheless, it is quite unfortunate but undeestandable that Birthright cannot refer cases to the Birth Control Centre -for information on either birth control or abortion because of its religious convictions and affiliations. However, the Birth Control Centre has expressed the glad willmgness to refer cases to Birthright when the situation calls for it. I think it is also appropriate at this time to point out that no volunteer working for the Centre should or would \ commit himself-herself to make decisions for any individual seeking information on Birth contro1,V.D. treatments, abortions, keeping the child or giving it up for adoption. We respect every individual’s own decision. Fortunately, we do have a very solid and helpful counselling Service, and all volunteers are instructed to refer cases to the counselling Services should the situation arise when an individual is undecided.
Certainly the volunteer(s) involved would try to understand, empathize and be helpful, and this, usually, is effective to ease the mind of an individual in trouble. The second session was quite a scene. As I recall, it was the philosophical discussion on the biased behavior of the Birth Control Centre. Incidentally, it was the first encounter between Dr. DeMarco and myself. He appeared to be a gentle, quiet, intelligent, homely, conservative and softspoken man. Although his reputation as an extreme and right-wing militant and a controversial moralist tended to overrule my better judgement, I was certain that he was quite concerned and sincere about his own convictions. The discussion started off as very intellectual, rational, logical, philosophical, but too idealogical and lack of feelings. In short, my objection to this particular discussion was that it was just too, impersonal, too surfaced, and too dishonest. Father Firetto, Sue Minas, and Rick Page seemed to act as mediators between the countdown of Dr. DeMarco and Janet Merrill, who represented the Birth Control Centre. Janet was yielding by making specfic concessions on how to correct a few mistakes that hampered the neutrality of the Centre. But, it was apparent that Dr. DeMarco was giving in more by not bringing up the issue he really objected to (which to this day, I am still trying to find out. > Everything looked swell on the surface but indeed pressure was building up. Neither party concerned was getting what they wanted. At the close of the meeting, I interupted the conversation between Dr. DeMarco and Sue Minas on the technical controversy about the legality of the set-up of the Birth Control Centre. (For this, I wish to openly apologize to Dr. DeMarco and the people concerned in the meeting for my violent behavior) I challenged the intents and motives of Dr. DeMarco for calling the meeting. I could not help but doubt his motives, and I was almost sure that he did not call this meeting to try to improve the services offered by the Birth Control Centre. In other words, I really wanted to know why he called the meeting in the first place. Or, in plain words, I didn’t trust him, but I was quite willing to concede the fact that Dr. DeMarco was entitled to his beliefs. Knowing his background, social status, religious convictions, and ethical beliefs, it was quite easy to understand why he would devote himself to the belief in antiabortion. by richard vol un teer

what is your opinion of the gay liberation
movement?
I think they should allow it (homosexuality) between two consenting adults, so if the law is the main thing they’re protesting against then it (gay liberation) is a good thing, as it is a fight for civil Ii berties. The movement, I think, is a good thing for homosexuals because they can gain a sense of identity from it, as they find similar problems and hang ups among themselves which they can’t relate to heterosexuals. I think a lot of homosexuality is inborn, and not purely psychological in origin, SO how can we try to change something that is genetically determined without a real struggle which would certainly be detrimental to the homosexual’s well-being.
David Peltz psych. 3 I think gay liberation is a necessary part of the liberation movement for .homosexuals, who are a suppressed minority group. I would like it to serve more as an information disseminating organization than as a political unit speaking out as great saviours of all the oppressed. l think it is a major problem which must be worked out and understood by all of the populace. .We must learn to accept homosexuals as people, which, I think, we’re tending towards more and more. But branding them with gay liberation, as a politically oppressed minority is detrimental to more acceptance.
I think gay liberation is just for people who are trying to justify their nature. They’re in a position where people say that what they are is bad, so’they’re trying to say “what I am is good.” I don’t approve Of the organization, but Ron Kunkfe since l’m not gay it’s not to my counse”ing services benefit, but for those who are like . l’m in favour of gay liberation, in that. fact, I’m in favour of liberation for In some respects it is a good thing because people are being anyone in any way that he can jiberate himself. I think this persecuted just like in witch hunts, and there are a lot of gay liberation will take a few years, people who have absolutely probably a whole generation, to nothing wrong with them. come a bout.

I believe it can be a normal thing to be a homosexual, and if this is his way of life, then he has a right to self-determination. If the gay liberation movement is a way of establishing their independence and identity, then it is a good thing. I don’t think the university community should be the only community in which it exists-it is needed more in the city commmity, as the campus has more free-thinkers to begin with. It involves a change of attitude which has been in-bred in us for years, and this will take time, maybe even a whole generation.

campaign
Alarmed by the drop in national percentage of Canadian citizen professors from 75 per cent to 52 per cent in the last six years, the 85 per cent Quota’ Campaign is circulating a petition calling for a Canadian citizen quota of professors in our universities. The Campaign, launched in January 1971 in Toronto by members of the Canadian Liberation Movement, has become an independent organization and has been endorsed by the student unions of university of Toronto, Lakehead university, u. of Saskatchewan at Regina, Notre Dame university in BC; also by the graduate student unions of Queens and U of T; by the Council of Canadian Unions, and the Canadian Union of Operating Engineers. The National Canadianization committee has expressed support for this program, while itself. , calling for a moratorium on the hiring of non-Canadians. Supporting individuals include political scientist George Haggar of Integrated Studies who is being replaced by an american citizen with a BA from Slippery Rock State College ; writer-economist John Warnock; and Canada’s people’s poet Milton Acorn. Canadians compete with foreign citizens from all over the world for jobs in Canadian universities, while immigration laws in foreign countries prevent Canadian citizens from competing there.
Canadian on radical
goes for 85%
Most openings in Canadian univeristies aren’t - even advertized publi@y in Canada, and qualified Canadians a’re often passed over. According to the campaign chairman, the target of a’ maximum of 15 per cent foreign citizen faculty, and restricted to visiting professors at that, is more generous to the ideal of international scholarship than any other country is willing to permit. He also states that the quota campaign supports as an interim measure the moratorium on hiring foreign citizens proposed by the National Canadianization committee. However he feels that this will not achieve a quota by itself, since overall hiring is so slow and a moratorium is too rigid to enforce for long. Action committees.have been set up in Ottawa, Toronto, Hamilton, Thunder Vancouver, Bay, Saskatoon and in Antigonish, N.S. So far over 4,000 individuals have signed the petition. Students at York u have forced the administration to open its files on faculty citizenship, revealing a massive takeover by american citi’zens. The Alberta Association of Students has recommended not just an 85 per cent, but a 90 per cent quota. According to the chairman, the evolution identity and purpose
campaign of national would in-
crease greatly if students especially future high school teachers, were exposqd to canadian background material and He feels that any aspirations. professor who hasn’t got Canadian citizenship, either by birth or naturalization, usually cannot convey these materials and, aspirations. The quota campaign committee feels foreign-citizen faculty would benefit us most if they were employed explicitly to teach courses where the background and ideas of their own country are of central importance, or if they were international experts invited to honour our country among many others with a short visit. The chairman feels that Canada should realize by now that universities are not factories producing graduates bf monetary utility, and that professors that teach them are similarly not measurable in dollars; but that universities with a large majority of faculty spiritually committed to the national community perform a vital organic function in the development of that community.

Windsor
council
in financial
WINDSOR (CUP&The fate of the Student Administrative Council (SAC) at the university of Windsor rests in the hands of the university administration today, feb.1. The council, after being informed by the finance commissioner last week that it is $25,000 in debt, approached the university board of governors to ask postponement of the payment of $18,000 that the SAC owes the university. The governors are expected to decide this week. The situation is further complicated by the fact that the administration which collects student fees for SAC has not yet paid the council the remaining $24,000 in student fees for this year. If the governors decide to collect the $18,000 owing them immediately, they could keep that amount from the student fees, forwarding only $6,000 to SAC. This wotid mean the student council would only have $6,000 to cover $25,000 in external debts, and would force a termination of all student services at Windsor for the remainder of the year. Where did the money go? For starters, the student-run campus pub set up to make money for the student association, will lose a proj+cted $11,000 this year. The

MacDonald is also known for his statements this summer when he supported the management of Acadia Fisheries in Canso Nova Scotia who decided that a CLC affiliate, the Canadian Food and Allied Workers would represent its workers, even though these same workers voted overwhelmingly to ‘be represented by the United Fishermen and Allied Workers. At the time, MacDonald and the antilabor Halifax Chronicle-Herald labelled the UFAWU a “communist-led” union.

declares war Labour Congress Quebec Federation of Labour
TORONTO (CUP) The Canadian Labour Congress appears to be launching a holy war against the increasing solidarity and militancy of the labour movement in Quebec. In a private speech monday janyary 31 to top Congress personnel, Donald MacDonald, president of the national labour organization warned of the danger of what he described as the “clearly Marxist” policies advocated by the Quebec Federation of Labour and other large trade union centrals in Quebec. MacDonald told CLC Quebec organizers they would be fired if they were to pursue such policies. He also told those present that anyone responsible for leaking the proceedings of the meeting would also lose his job. The precise wording of MacDonald’s salvo against the 235,000member QFL-which is officially chartered by the CLC-has not yet filtered through. However, in general terms what the Congress president told the meeting was that national policies set up by the CLC must be upheld in preference to decisions made on a regional level. Provincial labour groups must either follow the national organization’s line or get out of the CLC. He said that while the CLC which is the Canadian affiliate of the giant AFL-CIO in the P.S. opposes totalitarianism ‘in all forms, it would never support any form of Marxism, Trotskyism of Maoism There are rumors that a number of CLC organizers in Quebec have already been threatened with dismissal by the CLC hierarchy for their support of the recent actions and declarations of the QFL. Early in december several of the large labor centrals including the QFL and the 225,000 member Confederation of National Trade Unions, launched a “common front” and advocated a general

remaining debts have been~ attrivuted to bad management of student money by the council executive. The pub lost money for two reasons : First, the moving of the bar necessitated the salaries of extra security personnel, and second, expensive musical entertainment failed to dl’aw the expected crowds. The pub manager resigned last week allegedly because of ill health and a new manager is trying belatedly to turn the establishment into a paying proposition for the next two months. . No one is quite sure how the student finance personnel overspent the budget because the minutes of this year’s council meetings and executive meetings are either lost or in ari incomprehensible shambles, and the books have not been kept up to date. The revaluation has lead to increased friction between the executive and the other elected SAC members, manifesting itself in censure motions and calls for executive resignations.

Womens intramurals The women’s basketball schedule is well underway with eleven teams competing in two leagues. In League A St. Jeromes is looking very strong. The squad is very keen and it is not unusual to see them practicing at #various times during the week. In League B St. Pauls and Phys Ed and Ret are both good possibilities for top spot. Unfortunately due to hea& scheduling in the gym and arts slack week, league play will not be resumed until February 29th at which time we will see the two top teams in each league meet up with each other. Get out and shoot girls-this could be 60 points for your unit ! ! Now that the ski day is over don’t forget to take advantage of a good offer-t&n in your tow ticket to Peter Hopkins for a $1.00 refund. ,The intramural council has had some interesting discussions of the possibility of liberating or at least making the sauna . available to women students one or two hours a week. , It seems as though a few women students are taking advantage, of the facility now-even though itis not - exac?ly/ acceesible.
-jockshtits Well, the Russians and Canucks are back at it again. The first hockey meeting between Canadian and USSR clubs since 1969 will take place on February 22 in Toronto when the varsity blues take on the Soviet’s world student games team. This is the second time the two squads have met (with different bodies of course). In 1963 at the world student games in Austria the blues, who went over as an entire unit, tied the Russians 5-5, good for a bronze medal. The Soviets were awarded the gold that year. Ticket prices for the match are $3.and $2 with the gate receipts going to support the Canadian student national team.
Chicks, what happened? This seems to be the appropriate question this week now that the Athenas b’ballers dribbled their way out of a playoff birth, so it seems. The gals tripped to Western and were humiliated by the locals 63-40 on Tuesday. At half time the score stood at 36-16 for guess who, so the Athenas decided to change the pace of the game by going to a zone defense and press. This tactic was fairly effective for ball control but the girls lost control in the offensive zone and guess who kept scoring. And so it went. Now the uniwat team that has finished first or second for so long will probably sink to fourth this season unless something weird and wonderful happens in the rest of the league. The athena volleyball team travelled to London last Tuesday to drop three games to the western gals while grabbing only one themselves. Their opponents didn’t let down, but the athenas kept the score close: 15-9,15-l& lo-15,159. This win gave western ‘soul possesion’ of first position, four points ahead of the Waterloo squad. The OWIAA championships will be held one week hence in Hamilton,, the girls will go to MacMaster with the hope that once again they will represent this province in the national college championships. The uniwat tankmen have been hitting strong waves in the pool of late dropping two dual meets ..II a row. Last Friday most of the squad swam on the heels of Eastern Michigan who won 89-24. Eric Robinson was the only Warrior to break into the winning column with a 2: 13.6 in the 200 yard backstroke. Some may think the warriors got trounced but l when you learn that the CIAU champs, Toronto, could only score 34 points then you have to give a nod and say “Ya, that Ypsilanti team, winners of five straight NaIA conference titles has to be strong.” Wednesday night saw the Warriors off in Western but without half their team through injury, sickness, school commitments and what have you. Needless to say they again took a mouthfull, this time 83-29. Rolfe McEwan was the only Warrior to come in first in anything. Rolfe, now the OUAA leagues second best distance man behind Toronto’s Mick Guinness, won the 1000 freestyle in 11:30.9 but was off his best of 11:15.5 which he set here against Eastern Michigan. In the 506 freestyle Rolfe blew all the purple swimmers out of the pool with his 5: 24.9 which was just a second or so off his best this year. Although the swim squad now has a season record of 8 and 7 with three more schools to swim, they have gone against possibly the hardest opponents of any Canadian school this season and will be * shooting for at least second place at the OUAA’s in two weeks. / I , On Saturday McMaster and Windsor pop into the uniwat natatorium for a dip against the locals at 2 p.m. This is the final meet of the season for the warriors.
Intramural-bitch You guys on the Mens intramural council are up to your ears in the competitive crap, so far into the shit that your vision is bogged. Now let’s take a realistic look at your latest bullshit ruling. The first annual ground hog relay run.
by Ron Smith Dennis McGann the Chevron
final ruling, they had two varsity track athletes I competing (bee es number two). Come, come fellows, remember this was a one1 point-seven mile road race. The two varsity athletes had no more of an advantage than anyone else, after all their times were well down the list. Anyone with a slight bit of knowledge knows that a javelin thrower has less advantage in a 1.7 mile race than does a basketball player. Where does a sprinter fit in? Does his 499 meter 1 (almost a totally anaerobic performance) ability make him a natural for a distance event? If you people would get a little closer to what its all about you would realize that the majority of intramural participants are not into the competitive thing but rather in the recreational leagues. Why then is your council made up only of representatives from the competitive intramural units, how about one representative from these would-be second-rate jocks and the rest of the council from the rank and file of those who really make the program go. How about those who participate in sport simply because they like it? There are such people. Get off this competitive kick and find out what the people on this campus are all about, pull the jockstraps from around your eyes. Up your fryer points ! Hockey

York-many; Waterloo-some. Well, 9-2 does not not sound so bad if you consider Brock lost to Toronto 14-2. The two teams from the metropolis are certainly the teams to beat as they are tied for first in the eastern section of OUAA hockey, with 26 pts. Fortunately for the warriors, the blues and ,yeomen are in the other division and a playoff position is still mathematically possible. Four teams qualify for an extended season.

Thursday of last week Coach Howard Lockhart, ex Lutheran coach, lead his new team from Lakehead University into the jock shop for an exhibition game against our b-ballers. The Norwesters are associated with the National association of Intercollegiate Athletics and therefore play all their league games against American small colleges. The Warriors played extremely well in the first half. They played good sound defence and allowed the Norwesters to put up only 24 shots of which they made 10. On offence they worked the ball well, while waiting for the good shots. At the break the score showed Waterloo 43Lakehead 28. A complete turnaround was witnessed by the assembled mass of Waterloo supporters in the second half. An effective full court press was used by the Norwesters and it resulted in many expensive turnovers and steals that they converted into easy buckets. Another factor which helped Lakehead to their win was their amazing field goal percentage. In the second half they shot 57 percent from the court to bring their game average to 51 percent. James Copeland was instrumental in thelakehead second half surge. The Gaurd from Florida scored 22 points, blocked shots, stole the ball and literally did everything to lead the Norwesters to victory. Paul Bilewicz paced the Warriors with 23 points and Jaan Laaniste added 15 to the tally. Waterloo’s main problem -seemed to be that they couldn’t break the press effectively which was the reason that the Thunder Bay crew was able to explode for 56 points in the second half. After a Sunday night practice where they worked on /breaking a press for 2 hours, the Warriors ventured to St. Catherines for a league game on Monday of this week. The Generals were winless for the season, but they had been a hard luck team loosing many of their games by 1,2, or three points. The brock fans assured us that’ their team would still be in contention by half time. They were definitely right as the half ended with the home team leading 45 to 34. The Generals had fought dirty and used a press against our defenceless boys, and after all that practice they still couldn’t handle it.
first
In the second half the Warriors still had trouble occasionally from the press but by the finalee they were breaking it consistently. With 5 minutes to go they had clawed to within 5 points of their foes. Bad luck had already struck Brock once, as their best guard Bill _ Hamilton had injured his knee in a collision with our own Billy Hamilton. Now with 5 minutes remaining their starting centre fouled out. Waterloo finally took the lead when Hondo Hehn skyrocketted into the air, snatched a rebound, and fed the ball off to his comrade Captain Jaan who drove the length of the court and picked up a basket as well as a foul. After the successful foul shot Brock tied the score at 74 and it wasn’t until only 80 seconds remained that Tommy Kieswetter sunk the winning shot. Time ran out on the Generals as they couldn’t score in the last half minute. The Warriors allowed Brock only 8 .field goals in the second half. Laaniste dropped in 17 in that same span, bringing his total to 28 for the night. Paul Bilewicz ran into foul trouble early _and only played’ about 1 minute in the second half. He seemed well rested after the game and had plenty of energy left as illustrated by the juggling act he put on for the rest of the team’s ,_ enjoyment. The Warriors next league game’is tomorrow night (Saturday) at home against Lutheran.

ski made a feeble attempt to bring commercialism under control(apparently after pressure by the IOC) and limited the size of lettering on skis to conform to an ‘Olympic standard’. The FIS then told skiers it was illegal for one, two, or three athletes to be photographed for an ad, but acceptable if more than three were photographed in a group. Neither the sport-governing bodies nor the IOC seem to have the courage todictate policy to the athletes. In view of this wishy-washy attitud,e, the competitors do as they wish, pushing the IOC to determine the limit of its tolerance. Schranz seems to have found the ski-limit. If the IOC had disfled Schranz months ago while threats of barring was being levelled, the Austrian team and many others would ha_ve stayed home and organized their own world championships knowing that the top competitors, (the one’s who made the most money) were threatened. In this -case, as one writer states, the Japanese would have committed“mass hari-kari”. So, the IOC ‘sucked out’ of a decision and delayed until television rights had been sold and all the athletes were at the games’ site before lowering the boom on Karl Schranz.
by Dennis McGann the chevron
Old Viennese poured out of shops and businesses in thousands last Tuesday to welcome home their Olympic hero Karl Schranz. Amid placards denouncing International Olympic president Avery Brundage, ‘the old lion of St. Antoin’ wound his way in a motorcade through the adoring, drizzle-dampened crowd which padded the streets from the airport to the downtown section. To the uninitiated observer, Schranz T had accomplished what everyone expected of him, on the ski slopes of Sapporo. In actual fact, the master of the slopes had not won a medal-had not even competed in the games.
Parallels Thorpe There is a tr-c parallelism between Schranz and an Olympic champion who preceeded him by eleven Olympiads and sixty years. The other ticker-tape personality was a Cherokee indian, Jim Thorpe. In 1912 at Stockholm, Sweden, Thorpe won the ten-event decathalon as well as the penthalalon establishing six individual world marks some of “which were not eclipsed thirty years later. On that occasion, the king of Sweden remarked, ‘Sir, you are the greatest athlete in the world”, to which the softspoken Thorpe replied simply, “Thanks, king”. Thorpe’s success soon left the headlines to be replaced by the scion ,of the International Olympic Com-
“mit&~,which, after some great detectivework, determined that far in his past at the age of sixteen, the struggling athlete had accepted a piddly sum of money for playing in a baseball game. As impossible as it may sound, his victories in the fifth Olympiad were ‘cancelled’ and his medals reclaimed along with the imposement of a lifetime debarrment from the amateur sport world. Sport historians document that Thorpe, after sacrificing life and ambition in the interest of sport had little left on his return and spent the rest of his days in poverty, never returning to the bright lights of his Olympic-return-triumph. Their Olympic-committee-expuIsio9 Thorpe-Schranz ends the parallelism, the Austrain skier will not be faced with2bject poverty now that his amateur career has abruptly ended. ’ In its decision to bar Schranz, the IOC considered owning a hotel in St. Antoin and making 60,000 dollars each year were fruits too ripe to be reaped based only on the fact that one is the greatest slalom skier today. The entire Austrian ski team threatened to leave the Olympics after the aebarrment because ths knew Schranz was being made an example of. But why Schranz? why only one athlete? there are hundreds in Sapporo at present who are just as professional-although not quite as successful. The only question is ‘how professiona I?‘, not ‘who is amateur?’ Jean-Claude Killy had com‘mented after the expulsion, “There are no amateurs in Sapporo”.
Heroes to advertise The Austrian natio ‘is definitely a ski-conscious one, J d on the slopes the name Schranz is second in its ut the popularity only to Schnapps. Austrians have freejy ’ .-their Llt36t heroes in advertising ehsuring that skiers of every&&and calibre know that Schranz, Augert and others use Rossignol, Kniessel or Spalding skis. Their advertising seems to have paid off, the Dominion Bureau of Statistics show that 63,800 pairs of skis were sold by Austria in Canada alone, along with 46,294 pairs of boots. France in comparison only sold 16,783 pairs of skis. The Italians were below the French and a bit above the U.S. imports in their sales. Canadian products were too far down the list to mention. On the same tract, outdoor Olympic events are flooded by two shoe manufacturers, both from west Germany - the Adidas and Puma show companies. No self-respecting outdoor athlete would ever consider buying shoes-for competition. In large events like the last Olympiad in mexico city, the shoe with the larger bill hidden inside was the one seen on the athlete’s foot in the starting blocks at the stadium.
No dictated policy \ There seem to be no efforts made by the sport-governing bodies to end this “shamateurism,” maybe they too realize that amateur athletes are sometimes poor people-usually talented, but very broke. The federation internationale de friday,
A- moral question arises when Brundage and his boys see no incongruencies in setting outrageous prices for press coverage of the Olympic activities, expoliting the competitors but demanding total non-monetary dedication on the part of the athletes, setting only arbitrary guidelines for action. The situation will continue until the IOC determines what an amateur really is or the western hemisphere adopts policies of athlete-support similar to the east bloc where Olympic hopefuls are allowed to become “acceptable professionals” without stigma of the underhanded bargaining.
Open Olympics While small groups around the glove have been bitching in a vacuum at the IOC, not many have offered a suitable alternative. Jack Kelly,’ the revolutional president of the Amatuer Athletic Union (U.S.) suggests an ‘open’ Olympic games where the best in the world would be matched...professionals and amateurs. “When eight 100 meter sprinters line up for the Olympic finals”, Kelly states, “there is no reason it shouldn’t \be the fastest eigh-t humans...regardless of their daily jobs.” He said most of amateur >sport regulations were established in Queen Victoria’s time and remembers when his father was barred from the Henley Regatta “because he carried the union card of a bricklayer”. The question began with a few bucks for Jim Thorpe and has extended to Karl Schranz but will not end this year,the summer games in Munich will be upon us in a few months and the teeming controversy will boil over once again. ’ Maybe old Aver$hasn’t not&d-but amatuerism as he wouldhke to see it has dwindled into oblivion a ,long time ago, and there is no reason to hope for a recurrence, or so the athletes say anyway. Amateur sport is dead...long live the olympic games...maybe that is possible. february

At high noon on February second, twenty-two runners (twenty men and two women) squared off at the campus’ north -entrance fey the first running of the annual -ground -hog -ring f-roadrelay-race. Official athletic department press releases set the atmosphere at ‘cloudy, +19 degrees with a 5 mph wind, pavement clear of snow’. There were five teams involved in the race, and from the start, a maverick group of two runners took control of the race. Pythi>n Northey and Bruce Walker decided to alternate legs and run the five-man course themselves. Although having to traverse the 1.7 mile course three times, Python recorded the fastest time of 8 minutes and one second. Peter Camani treked around the buildings in a 8 : 27 clocking for the second-best individual time. As the race drew to a close, there

St. Jerome’s college and a co-cd team from St. Paul’s finished the standings in fourth and fifth respectively. The ever-seeing intramural department decided to disqualify both first and second places for flagrant disregard of rules. The two man team was kicked out of the final standings for not having a full teani and the chevron group not considered kligible because a javelin thrower and a sprinter were included in the ranks.

/ The 1000 yards was the last track event in which the warriors finished in the top three. Bruce Walker and Nigel Strothard crossed the line two-three just behind York’s Larry Reynolds. From this point on the warriors dropped out of the top three and out of the point scoring positions. Dennis McGann, a sometimes high jumper or so he says, cleared the opening height along with two other competitiors, but al.l three failed to get high enough to clear the next height, they ended up in a three way tie for second place. The winner of the high jump was Bay Anthony’ with a record leap of six feet five and three quarter inches. I After appeals by coaches and athletes two special events, the only events for women, were placed on the programme for the female tracksters. There was just enough events to cover the number of Waterloo trackettes. Marg Cummings and Marlene Peters did not fare well in their respective events. Maybe next year the women will be included in the programme without anybody ‘having to make an appeal.
For two of the tracksters the college meet was just a warm up for the hotter competion of the international section to be held in the evening. Both Marlene Peters and George Neeland faced the best in the world in the 50 yard hurdles.

I am writing in\ response to the thought-provoking article entitled “Birthright-new opinion about abortion” which appeared in the last issue of the chevron. I’m sure it was read by all with great interest. Let me say at the outset ‘that I would be inclined to agree with D. Paul’s conclusion that Birthright as represented throught the reported interview with Demarco, appears rather “offbase.” . But let me also hasten to add that if Birthright does appear so, this does not mean to say that it is without a base. Birthright has in fact a very solid foundation and it is a source of wonder to me that not once during Paul’s report of the interview, is this base so much as touched. I can only assume that during those two hours in which Demarco reportedly ‘spoke philosophy’, the essence of his talk must have completely escaped Paul’s attention. Allow me then, to present in no uncertain terms, the solid base on which Birthright is founded. _--In a word, Birthright ultimately rests on the belief in god, a notion which appears imprudent to speak about at university these days. The entire dispute over abortion can in the final analysis be boiled down to the question of faith. The Christian believes in god. He believes man is created in the image of god. He believes what’s more, that man is endowed with this absolute value at conception. It is precisely this divine value inherent in all-men that checks the Christian from slaying his neighbour. This is the true meaning of the fifth commandment. Abortion is nothing but a breach of the fifth commandment. On the issue of abortion, the Christian is in a very similar position to that of Alyosha in Dostoevsky’s Brothers Karamazov, who is faced with one of his brother’s “accursed questions.” Ivan asks Alyosha: “imagine that you are creating a fabric of human destiny with the object of making men happy in the end, giving them peace and rest at last, but that it was essential and inevitable to torture to death only one tiny creature-that baby beating its breast with its fist, for instance-and to found that edifice on its unavenged tears, would you consent to be the architect on those conditions?” Aloysha’s answer, that of the true Christian, is a categorical no. The Christian ethic remains irreconcilable with utilitarianism. In the same way, the Christian must take an equally uncompromising stand on abortion. It is his faith, which he takes to be the cornerstone of his existence, that the Christian first consults on the issue of abortion. All other considerations, “the cultural, psychological and physical influences,” which Paul criticizes Dr. Demarco for ignoring, come subsequently. This is the Christian conviction on which Birthright is based. K.A. Zakrzewski

don’t read the chevron 1-n fact, the only things
in it that interest me are the volleyball scores and the list of coming attractions at the Odeon. As soon as I’m through with each issue, I send ‘my copy to an old kutterite woman in St. Jacobs who owns several parakeets. However, this past week I read Dudley Paul’s interview with Dr. Don De Marco of St. Jerome’s college, regarding his opinions on abortion. De Marco’s position is well integrated and not based purely on “philosophical grounds” as Paul’s column “Bullseye” imputes. This issue is too important to be considered from merely one viewpoint, whether it be philosophical, psychological or whatever. The essence of abortion is that it is a decision against life. Simply because taking life may be a national pastime does not excuse us from the gravity of the action. To say that there is no human life in a fetus at a given stage is absurd. What else can a fetus develop into- besides a human being? A tree? A goat? I suggest you read Aquinas himself and not depend on a third-rate commentator for analysis of the scholastic position. I think we’re living in an intellectually “ripped off” society if I c&i be jailed for poaching on a game preserve-and yet destroy a human life through abortion with about the same considerations that attend the removal of an impacted wisdom tooth. Abortion is the language of death. People who speak it have mouths like open graves. Joseph H. Monahan Conrad Grebel College Could we suggest there are other authorities besides Aquinas, himself.-the lettitor
‘As men we...’ In response to your recent interview with Doctor Donald DeMarco of Saint Jerome’s I would like to voice my concept of the whole abortion issue which is of great importance to all today. Life is indeed something all men have the right to enjoy. However, the difficulty appears when this right is denied by some force. When speaking of this right to life it is important to realize the equal right of the unborn human person. DeMarco is correct in his thinking that the truth must be made known and this will raise the self consciousness of man. Man often by his nature questions and searches for answers to those questions which are most basic to his own nature and being. We as men often fail in our attempt to sort out and arrive at this truth which would allow us to find that which in truth is. I can agree that often an unwanted pregnancy can be thecause of much pain and inner psychological grief, but would this necessarily mean abortion is an answer? It appears clear to me that in this age of truth, of letting all be known, of being yourself, we fail to bring into light the true of that which is most basic to our being, love. This I believe is of great importance in the abortion issue. The measure of one’s love is found by the exclusion . of one’s personal choice. When one wishes to really love he must realize that brings about certain other ex-
meaning
’
feedback elusions or sacrifices. When one does not sacrifice he is not truly loving, but rather loving himself. The only way man can live therefore, is to accept the boundry conditions which accompany him through life. Therefore man must learn to accept this exclusion in order to find true fulfillment in love, hence the exclusion of that which -would prevent you from loving is important and primary. Love not only means finding another thou, but also accepting the committment that goes *with love, that is the acceptance and the exclusion. I think we must just face the fact that man cannot move unless he is moving toward something, he just can’t be going nowhere. This would be an accute case of unconsciousness. Now when one would go through with an abortion (the murder of an unborn person) I do not think she is accepting or excluding, but rather selfishly imposing her own desire on another life, namely her child. And what an imposition that is, the decision of life or death. It-is fine for us to hear the present attitude of the rights of the woman, and her right to exercise control over her own body, but does she have the right ot control the life of the human person within her? Is she controlling her own body or the body of her child when she decides not to allow the child to continue living ? That child, by virtue of its humanity, has the same rights as she, the right to life. It really can scare one today when you realize that Canada does not protect the life of any single person, for all of us go through nine months within the womb of our mother, and apparently the present law does not protect any of us during that period, hence no one is guaranteed the right to life. To conclude I would like to state that as men we must begin to examine the truth in order to develop into the true beings we should be. This indeed includes the value of the human person and clearly abortion is a key factor which takes from this value. Clark J. Horan Resurrection college
‘Wool factory’ In the february 14 edition of the chevron, Janet Merrill accuses me of labelling the birth control information center an “abortion mill”. Fear indeed has large ears. I never entertained the idea for one moment that Miss Merrill and her associates possessed the resouror daring to ces, competence undertake such a spectacular venture. What she and her volunteers are operating is a “wool factory”. All one has to do to become convinced of this is to observe the sheep that move in and out of her office with the wool pulled firmly over their eyes. Donald DeMarco
Dudley replies To Dr. DeMarco : Last week, Father Feretto mentioned that there was a chance for you and the Birth Control Centre to get together and discuss your differences on the abortion issue. Let this happen, why don’t you, rather than destroying this atmosphere of objectivity by hurling rhetoric and turning the people off that you are trying to enlighten. The Birth Control people
are willing to listen to what have to teach, so teach.

Good riddance? , In reply to David Desory’s feedback letter in the january 28 issue, I wish to point out that a notice of the nomination period for president of the federation of students was published in the chevron of january 11. In addition, posters were placed on federation bulletin boards, which was not done in previous years. I submit that the nomination period was adequately publicized. If Desory’s lack of foresight and attention to necessary detail, in this case the nomination date, is any indication of the way in which he would have filled the position of president, then the campus is undoubtedly the better for his not having been nominated.

‘What?Us worry? In a heated discussion in the aftermath of the recent elections (feb. 2)) we have concluded that the chevron has failed in its basic responsibility to the student body. The editors have not reported the issues and candidates. We suggest that this will only contribute to the general apathy of the students. Shouldn’t this paper reflect the opinion of those who could assume political power on campus? We ask, what are the issues on the Waterloo campus? How can these issues be reflected in the chevron? It appears to us that the chevron suffers from the same characteristics of the society that it attempts to criticize (sic). Radicalism and change for change’s sake seems (sic) to be the basic theme of most articles. The “establishment” is often criticized for closemindedness with regard to innovation. We feel that the chevron suffers from this same disease in respect to maintaining any traditional values or institutions. Although we feel that change is needed in many areas, the chevron should attempt to report a more balanced view and realize that changes are not wrought overnight, but comes (sic) about as a result of responsible actions. We expect a more balanced view of campus issues without editorial comment. James
Pearson arts 1 Roger McIntosh arts 1 N. Scott arts 1 Dave Potter env. studies 1 Unfortunately for the sake of any real dialogue, you did not include any specific instances which can be discussed here. But, as all those around this campus for many years-including several chevron staffers-know, change, indeed, “cannot ,be wrought overnight.” It isn’t clear just when the chevron was supposed to have said that it can be. Nor are we aware of any “irresponsible actions” which have been carried out by the chevron.
As for a more balanced view of campus issues, you are all welcome to come down each week and help us present those views ’ you don’t feel are being done justice. And, after you get a few more years of university behind you, you might even be able to write a grammatically correct letter. The chevron-in case you haven’t been reading it-has been presenting the “campus issues” in a variety of views all year, and receiving absolutely no response aside from vague, pointless letters like yours. Feel free to visit.-the lettitor.
Waterbaby praise With regards to an article written in a recent issue of the ’ jocktalk section ‘of the chevron I would like to bring it to the attention of the reading public that the information given on the innertube waterpolo league results gave a very unclear account of the actual happenings. I don’t wish to, dispute the fact that the Waterbabies are experienced tubers but I feel it only fair to make mention of the fact that the up-and-coming Slideramas have proved themselves to be strong competitors in this magnificent sport of tubing. In last week’s official league opening the Slideramas won an easy victory over the Furi Freaks 18-4. On behalf of the Sliderama organization I would like to say that, we are looking forward to the game on march 1 against the world champion defending Waterbabies. I think it should prove to be a very interesting game.

Tight Money After a number of years on this campus it still amazes me to see money wasted in so many ways., With the present tight budget situation existing here-today, I feel it is necessary to comment on a few glaring examples. In the past three or four years the university has probably spent a fortune in repairs on the sauna in the physical education building. It would seem obvious to any logical person that, in fact, the unit is simply too’ small for the demand placed on it-hence it breaks. This fact has been admitted by the people in physical resources who have to fix it (about once a month.) Why not save money for a change and install a proper unit? An almost identical situation exists in the married student housing with regard to the TV and FM receptions network. It is underpowered, overloaded and often (depending on time and channel) totally useless. Although it has now been “fixed” at least three times, it still can be surpassed by a set of “bunny-ears.” Why not save us all time and inconvenience as well as the university some money (and perhaps some jobs) by doing things right the first time and not just trying to save a few dollars on initial cost.

Faced with the threat of having to leave a larger portion of his $500 million to them, due to the province’s new succession duty tax, K. C. packed up and left. Ever since officials have lamented his going. “A tragic loss,” moaned the president of the Saint John board of trade. Liberal leader Robert Higgins criticized the province for its new tax move: “Comparing it with the loss of business and enterprises such as Mr. Irving’s, it doesn’t look like a very good idea.” This is a disputable point. Irving is one of the few New Brunswickers who would be hurt by the new tax. ’ His self-made empire, which extends its clutches into oil, lumber, pulp and paper, transportation, shipping, conmining, struction, and the media,-squeezing others out all along the way-has made Irving one of the few eligible candidates for New Brunswick’s new law. Since few others will leave more than when they die, the new law won’t

them at all. Up to this amount can be inheritedby immediate family tax-free. After this, a ten percent duty is charged onthe first $10,000, gradually increasing up to fifty percent on amounts exceeding $300,000. This means that, all -told, tke Irving family could be left with a mere $250,000,000 to play with. The very thought that all this money might be channeled into things outside his immediate personal domain was too much for Irving, so it seems. . After a lifetiine ‘of good, clean New Bruuswick living, he appears to have decided on Nassau as his final home. After years of successful government string-pulling, Irving withheld his favours this time when he couldn’t get his way. Maybe next time the legislature will pay closer attention to his words: “Where I believe government can be most helpful is in adjusting policies to create a climate in which business can make its own way.” The new wayward tax law is the villain, so the sto’ry goes, that chased this honest, hard-working New Brunswicker out of the land of his birth. The government,in fact, has had to bear the major brunt of the criticism. Irving’s action seems to be above reproach. What else can a guy do?
His departure seems to be generally accepted as the only legitimate response that could have been madethe government is the bad guy for taxing Irving in proportion (or at least more in proportion) to what he can afford. No one seems to be pointing out, however, that five hundred million dollars is a lot of money for one man to monopolize, particularly in a province as poor as New Brunswick. . Nor is anyone reminding us that all the job-creating Irving has done has been a . two-edged sword; that his one-man empire has meant media control (of all five english newspapers in the province), government manipulation to “adjust policies to create a climate favourable to business”, almost total impotence of those he employs~(at rather skimpy wages), and the compleie freedom to pollute as K. C. Irving sees fit, courtesy of a government agreement that anti-pollution laws don’t apply in his case. It is a loss for New Brunswick that Irving has left, but only because his money would be better channeled into the province than into his already-taken-careof family.

or why your student award is late
HE ACTIVE INVOLVEMENT ofthe individual in his community is but one reason for current apathy not only at Waterloo but on campuses across Canada and the United States. This is evident in an area that affects students the most-the financing of their education through student awards. Four hundred students on this campus have been waiting over two months for assessments and appeals. This is due to implementation of a centralized processing system in Toronto but more importantly to students’ non-involvement in matters of financial expediency. This apathy is due in part to little knowledge of the student awards system and its functioning. Last year the department of colleges and universities set up a system of centralize processing to cut down on discrepancies in student awards across the province. As a result the four week turnaround time that Waterloo students were used to has now increased to nine, ten and eleven weeks with some reviews going into their fourth month. Under optimum conditions, says student awards officer Bert de Jeet students should have a waiting time of no more than three weeks. Such is the case when applications are filled out correctly. The department does hold the application for unusual where circumstances, such as cases parents are self-employed. ‘The processing of the forms is done on a computer owned by the department of education. Since the issuing of payroll checks for the department takes precedence over L all other activities, student awards suffers. The suggestion of buying another computer to work solely
on the processing of student awards was discounted because of the government’< reluctance to spend one and a half million dollars on a computer that would be used at capacity two dr three times a year. Student awards officers across the province want to cut down the time by installing regional processing centers, one of which would be at Waterloo. This would return an answer in about a month. A further suggestion if the processing stays-in a central location or goes regional is to have direct hook-ups withthe computers to cut down further on time. One area for co-op students to complain about is in the time it takes for their applications to be processed-six to seven weeks. By ihat time half of their school term is finished. They are entitled to quicker service from student awards. Delays this fall were created for students whose parents are self-employed. After three months, John White minister of university affairs allowed those students loans on the basis of superficial evaluation with a stipulation that some of the money might have to be returned. This was merely a stop-gap measure that only created an i)mosity between students and the department. De Jeet pointed out that the government adapted to social and cultural changes fairly rapidly. For instance it recognizes a common law relationship in the same light as a marriage relationship. However, de
Jeet was quick to note that such a relationship had to have been established twelve months prior to the start of the term applied for. On the other hand the allowance of eight dollars a week for whatever a student wants to do with it has not changed since 1966. In the same time the cost of living has risen forty percent. When asked how the Wright commission rrport on post-secondary education in Ontario would effect the student awards program, de Jeet said that OSAP w&Id become an institution with an increased workload of about four times the present output. He noted that the recommendations to put the payment of university years on a user basis were approved in principal by the university of Waterloo senate last year. Other recommendations of the Wright commission would have the student pay back the cost of his education as a deduction on his income tax for the fifteen years after he graduates. if the loan is not paid back in that time it would automatically be forgiven. Such a scheme is all right, but the commission does not say what happens if the loan is paid back in less time. Maybe the commission is presuming something. . Alternately this writer is possibly presuming something. The Wright commission recommendations will not be implemented for several years to come. In the meantime something has to be done about student awards. The department of colleges and universities says it will clean up the bugs in its computer programs and be able to provide better service next year. What about the students who have been screwed this year? Will they be compensated for the hassles and frustration? Probably not. What if they were to send John White the minister of colleges and universities a bill for the interest, the time they have waited, the frustration they have endured. A thousand such bills might get the minister to change things quickly.

Seize the power . The federation of students, as an organization, has the potential to accomplish just about anything the students on this campus want it to accomplish. Its potential however, will never be realized until a committment develops on the part of the students to seize control of their immediate environment. The federation is only the vehicle by which change can be brought about. ’ A concerned and committed student population expressing itself through the federation can revolutionize the university. The point I am trying to make is’that the federation is whatever we make it-together. My most immediate concern is that people who, for one reason or another, feel alienated or frustrated by the federation will use the upcoming referendum to express their discontent and end up killing something which they should really be trying to “change. Please think before you vote! ! Find out what the federation is doing for you, and what it can do. The compulsory fee has the advantage of guaranteeing the federation a certain amount of money with which to implement its, programs. A federation which is constantly worrying about whether or not it can pay its bills can serve no one effectively. During the election campaign I made the promi~se that cornmunication between the students
and the federation would be greatly increased. Every effort will be made on our part to explain and inform you about all facets of the federation’s operations. At the same time, participation by interested people in the creation and implementation of Federation policies will be encouraged. On March 4, 1972, the new executive will present a “policy proposal” to the new council, representatives from the societies and any other interested members of the federation, for discussion. Through similar methods we hope to gradually involve more people directly with the federation. By means of a “Board of Student Grievances” and the “Federation Critic at Large” we will take action on immediate student concerns,i.e. rip-off towing and- parking practices, etc. The results of the action taken on behalf of those who consent could be published in the chevron in order to demonstrate that collective action can bring results and also to increase the general awareness of university structures. (Who is getting screwed, for what reason and by whom.) The educational things we would like to attempt would be integrated with constructive practical projects. An example of this might be the creation of a recycling project in the K-W community as part of an environmental educational program. This would create a meaningful outlet for genuine social concern. Let your imagination run wild! We are only limited by our own creativity.! Let’s seize control of as much of our lives as possible. We’ve got the federation-it’s there for our benefit. Let’s make it work! The University ’ Belongs to the Students-Dig It! Terry Moore

It seems that everyone wants to become a photographer this week. Would you believe that george kaufman plans to become a photojournalist as soon as he gets time off from productron’l ‘All ‘he’ has to do now is learn what the “clicker” on the camera is for and he’s all set. Len greener has at long; last returned from his epic journey to Thunder Bay and, promises to show the latest in railroad station architectureal styles in this paper.,.:.bet YOJJcan hardly wait, right? Randy hannigan, bob siemon, sergio zavarella, helmut zisser and gord moore continue to dazzle staff with there outrageously “good” pictures....don’t know what we’d do without them on the deadline nights, sometimes. If you’ve been waiting for more pictures by Scott gray (and we know you have) tune in next week to see Scott’s picture of a dodo bird perched on alex smith’s left ear. George neeland tries to fake that he can’t take good pictures all the time, but he gave himself away last week at the maple leaf indoor games as he took a picture of Willie davenport in the hurdles competition....too bad george was supposed to be in that race too- (just joking george, old boy). And f’ast of all we have brian cere who is now into taking entertainment pictures like nobody else has ever taken them, but then we kind of expected that might happen especially with FASS playing this week. How can you lose in photography when you read the chevron? Sticking it together with lepages and other unmentionables were: Craig millage who, despite a valiant typing effort will have to wait till next time, paul stuewe, ron smith with hisfirst review (another jock expands), dave ingham, ian angus, mart roberts, randy hannigan with a super pit, brian cere and mad genius he-devil brute Steele, r-nary holmes, janet stoody who was missed and david cubberley who missed in more ways than five. Liberation continues to hit the campus....byeline Waterloo sees the girls continuing their scantily.clad assualt on the men’s sauna...research has shown an increase interest in male steam-bath interest...sapporo, japan continues to hit the headlines with continual barring of the athletes from the winter games first an austrian athlete now a french skier has hit the snow (that’s skiing talk for dust)... , deadlining for this wonderful week at the chevron sportdesks we were nutsy neeland, peter hopkins, randy hannigan, debbie smith (blonde volleyball gladiator), sallyee kemp, ronald-gordon, Wayne-smithy, and dennis mcgann who finally got into writing an article full-scope. whoopee....... The incredible news depo starred nigel burnett and his far-reaching stories, al lukachko and his magic pen, mart roberts, terry moore, dudley Paul, peter warrian, heather Webster, ross perry, ken hyslop, brute murphy who was drunk, helmut zisser and his friend ruth, wes darou, boris prociuk, Charlie plater who dropped in from fassing around, Winnie the pooh and dizzie lizzy too, george‘kaufman who was sick with the flu (poor boy), alex smith who was even sicker, and bill Sheldon. Many thanx to all the people who contibuted to the report on society activity. For the few unaware people within sounding range of this masthead, another change-over in the “editorship” of the chevron appears to beonce more in the making. Two stalwart young upcoming staff members have dared to submit applications for editor under the vigilant and pondering gaze of alex smith, and this paper’s ever-popular advisor and man-about-town (and most of the time out of town). Should one of them manage to survive the next three weeks of “political embracement” he will certainly find himself still on uncertain ground on many fronts. Current speculation has it that there may only be one paid person guiding and producing the paper in the not too-distant future (try early May on for size). What insanity will reign in the dungeons of the Board of Publications! If you thought we haven’t had it together for the past six months wait until next fall when you can find what undone really means. In the chevron’s present state one person would have little hope in accomplishing the necessary reorganization and direction. Should the upcoming student council, directed by Terry Moore, decide to start making cuts in chevron allowances, and thereby heading the paper in a way it sees fit, they may inadvertently produce more internal changes than they oroginally bargained for. We leave future proceedings, as we must, in the hands of Terry Moore and his wise council. this is turning out to be the most incredibly lengthy masthed,,which i suppose is in keeping with the size of the paper we produced. So in all fairness to those with strained eyes, i will pass this one into,, oblivion via the dumont duck pond. peace and luv kiddies. ws \

, â&#x20AC;&#x153;American planes, full of holes and wounded men and corpses...
. ..took off backwards from an airfield in England. Over France, a few German fighter planes flew at them backwards, sucked bullets and shell fragments from some of the planes and crewmen. They did the same for wrecked American bombers on the ground, and those planes flew up backwards to join the formation. The formation flew backwards over a German city that was in flames. The bombers opened their bomb bay doors, exerted a miraculous magnetism which shrunk the fires, gatheredthem into cylindrical steel containers, and lifted the containers into the bellies of the planes. The containers were stored neatly in racks. The Germans below had miraculous devices of their own, which were long steel tubes. They used them to suck more fragments from the crewmen and planes. But there were still a few wounded Americans and some of the bombers were in bad repair. Over France, though, German fighters came up again, made everything and everybody as good as newt. When the bombers got back to their base, the steel cylinders were taken from the racks and shipped back to the United States of America, where factories were operating night and day, dismantling the cylinders, seperating the dangerous contents into minerals. Touchingly, it was mainly women who did this work. The minerals were then shipped to specialists in remote areas. It was their business to put them into the ground, to hide them cleverly, so they would never hurt anybody ever again. The American fliers turned in their uniforms, became high school kids. And Hitler turned into a baby. Everybody turned into a baby, and all humanity, without exception, conspired biologically to produce two perfect people named Adam and Eve. -KurtVonnegut,from
