Farm broughtto I.S. Exam Board The first of several integrated studies oral exams took place monday in the pub area of the campus center. To anyone unfamiliar with integrated studies exams it could have passed as a regular pub. Two applications for degrees were heard-Ross Bell presented his case in the morning -with Mike Corbett being examined in the afternoon. Each applicant chose his own board of examiners according to their ability to examine the applicants in their field of study. The examining procedure took on a free form format and at times tended towards guerrilla theater . Fellow commune members from the farm in Durham took an active part in the discussions, as well as providing the music, home made beer, wine and saki. Corbett’s original list of . proposed examiners consisted of more than forty names, however only about ten people appeared as examiners. George Cross, chairman of integrated studies senate council, was originally scheduled to chair the examining committee but was unable to attend the gathering. The exam was chaired then by Ron Eyte, a member of integrated studies senate council. Corbett felt that this was unfortunate since he was prepared to challenge the role played by the administration in the workings of integrated studies. Part of Corbett’s area of examination was the rise and fall of integrated studies and as such was highly critical of the increasing control which the administration was assuming during the past three years. Throughout the afternoon Corbett attempted, with the help of his friends, to de-emphasize the academic qualities of the exam and to illustrate the importance of practical experience as the basis for more real understanding of one’s environment. For him the practical aspect of receiving a degree was that his mother had wanted him to get one since he was a kid and he had paid almost three thousand dollars to . this institution to receive the degree. Various attempts were made to define the objectives of the . I

examining procedure and the roles ’ of the participating members. Corbett felt that the whole exam procedure was formality and thought that the best idea was for the committee to vote on whether or not to recommend him for a degree and that once that was. decided they could advance to some serious rapping. The committee then unanimously voted to recommend Corbett for a degree. The degree in this case as with all integrated studies graduates is a Bachelor of Independent Studies. The degree recommendation has to be approved by the integrated studies senate council as well as senate before the degree is actually granted.

‘IS-a

Farce’

The farce of integrated- studies, according to Corbett, is the fact that the original proposal of integrated studies being a totally autonomous body controlling it’s own future and resources is slowly being destroyed by administrative bureaucracy. At the same time, the administration is satisfied that integrated studies is providing the alternative sought by students. that the Corbett argued university was only interested in providing a place for potential radical students and thus was really protecting the rest of the academic community. If the university is successful in removing the radical students from the regular classrooms the potential of influencing other students is severely hampered. Therefore the program is dealing with the wishes of the administration rather than having the greater . needs of the students met. There has been a change as noted by Corbett during the last three years of the program in the type of student that the program is attracting. Cross has stated previously that the program is losing the revolutionary fervour that was evident during the first years of inception of integrated studies. It was brought up during the discussions that it was during the late sixties that the radical students movement was popular and the integrated studies program attracted many of these students. It was therefore a very political faction of the education system at this university. Now, however, more‘ students are interested in the academic freedom allowed them in this program. With the lack of political insight the program could be in danger of becoming engulfed in an academic exercise of the administration, Corbett said.

Ross Bell, foreground right, explained to an entourage of examiners, frie.nds and dogs monday mornjng why he should be granted a degree for his work in Integrated Studies. The rev-iews, as they say on Broadway, were mixed. If you’re working hard in anticipation of your degree, read story at the left.

Dope plague brings bounty \ on pushers The big city of London, Ontario has a very serious problem on its hands. RCMP inspector Jack Carroll estimates that their city is plagued with twenty heroin pushers and about one hundred heroin addicts. Of course 120 estimated hard core drug criminals in a city of 185,000 poses a threat. About 100 prominent Londoners have decided to take, the bull by the horns. Their plan for eliminating this menace is called TIP (turn in a pusher). As an added incentive they offer money if their tip (treated confidentially of course> results in the arrest and conviction of a drug pusher. Imagine, you can get a reward of up to 500 dollars for telephoning 472-DRUG and passing on a tip about a pusher without even giving your name. These friendly folks at 472-3784 pass your information along to the police who of course don’t sleep on it. If the result is a conviction you should get your greedy little hands filled with blood money. Oh wow, 500 dollars and involved only to the extent of two phone calls. One is the tip, the second is to arrange the delivery of your reward for being such a good citizen. Does this sound too good to be true? You’re right. It is.

You are not promised anonymity. Every effort (whatever that means) will be made to protect the identitv of the informer. However, if the worst comes to the worst, you will get a little publicity; you knowpit in the paper-public hero bit. Do you suppose that simply because such a good citizen’s identity looked out he might be susceptible to an accident? If you were the informer and someone welched on his promise to pay you your reward money, what would you do-go to the local police? How about an alternative scenario? You have just crawled into an old culvert to pick up your reward money (delivered to your designated sanctuary of course> when one of the boys in blue clamps you on the arm and says, “Gotcha”. Yes sir the old doublecross and you right in the middle: There is only one small reason why this is so plausible. Under current legislation you are required to inform on anyone whom you know has narcotics in hisor her possession. It is a criminal offense not to and for cannabis can result in a prison sentence of up to seven years. So if you get old double-cross treatment, you risk seven years. You have no recourse whatsoever \ because these prominent Londoners have not changed the law to protect the informers. They must be applauded for their cunning-playing off one criminal against another. It’s really quite simple. If you know someone who has possession of narcotics you are as much a criminal as any narcotics pusher. One of the great cornerstones of democracy is that all men are equal before the law. What kind of equality exists if one criminal is rewarded while another is imprisoned when both are involved with a narcotic drug ? Really-1 think that this one will cause a little shit to hit the fan. _ This bounty hunter scheme perpetuated by a group of ‘concerned citizens’ is an admission that the London narc squad is not doing its job properly. Why don’t they dismiss these imbeciles, and get the situation cleared up once and for all by grabbing the five pushers?

Wright

listening

commission

by deanna kaufman the chevron

It seems the days of society smiling benevolently on student as an occupation, a status position, has come to an end. The draft report of the commission of post-secondary education in Ontario (commonly called the Wright commission) points to the end of the time when universities were expanding, grants and loans could be had virtually for a signature and more and more grade 13’ers were crowding onto campuses. The beginning-of-the-end type feeling was in the air last week when three of the commissioners came to the university of Waterloo to discuss the report. Two of the discussants, including Douglas Wright, former chairman of the commission, had previous connection with Uniwat-presumably this gave them a feeling of coming home. Edna Tietze, a graduate of the university of Waterloo, and now master in English at Conestoga college, set the tone of the evening, that of defensiveness on the part of the commission. Although she pointed out the report was now just a draft and the

members

reason for the forum was to discuss and hone the final report, she and the other two commissioners spent most-of the time defending sections of the paper. The chief concern in many of the questions aimed at the commissioners was money; how much money it would take to go to university under their plan, how much money would be allocated for research, what value a university degree has in a society with high unemployment. But the commissioners also showed their materialistic bias in the report and in defending it. When one questioner stated that it was not a right to obtain an education but a duty since everyone in society would benefit, commissioner B.B. Kymlicka responded : “I don’t agree. It is a social benefit, but there seems to be a hell of a private benefit as well.” Kymlicka is the secretary of the commission and a faculty member of the university of western Ontario. . A humanities professor was worried about what he considered a threatening aspect of research in the arts and humanities. In-

structors under report recommendation 61 would be paid for the time spent teaching and time and money for research would be separate. After some fencing with Kymlicka about work-weeks and public subsidities; the professor stated : “You have a technocractic bias on your commission, not sympathic to the arts and humanities. Now a professor does not have to account to anyone for the practicality of politics of the research.” Kymlicka responded by saying that over the years the faculty work load had been lowered and that the question of how much money to put into the natural sciences is also a social one. The commission claims in its report that it is extending educational opportunities to more people especially through the concept of the university of .Ontario. The mass media would be used to bring educational experiences to those who now have no opportunity-shut-ins, Indians, people in northern Ontario and the elderly. But by raising tuition fees and restricting grants, potential students would be required to invest more of their own money and potential earnings in their education. Grants would be available to those students whose families are in the lowest income brackets. Loans, ‘however, would be available to everyone, interest bearing and forgiveable after 15 years if the person is not able to

go on defensive As usual, the commissioners listened fairly politely to the outburst, took no notes and went on to the next question. _It will be interesting to compare the final report with the draft to see how many of the complaints and suggestions the commissioners took to heart at their meeting here and in similar meetings throughout the province. The Mature Students Association sponsored the discussion.

Pay. University people are still relatively quite privileged, Wright said. After all the commission is not proposing subsidies to those who go into business, he said. Kymlicka added, “Why shouldn’t plumbers get subsidies.” The commission was accused by a member of the audience of trying to weaken the existing university by making it part of the existing rotten social order.

Seven technicians fired us fuculty gets raise - Seven technicians were laid off due to,the tight budget at the same time that faculty members were granted a 6.1 per cent raise. X In the process of shuffling monies from one pocket into the other, administration is closing the biology-chemistry workshop. The reasons given were: / l savings of 50,000 dollars per anum ; l projected student numbers were down; l thee bi-chem workshop was to be closed anyway. Parallel to‘ the above decision, l 833,000 dollars was reserved for staff and faculty salary increases ; l three new faculty positions have been opened to cope with extra students in the biology department ; l two men were hired and new machinery was bought last year, and there were plans for enlarging the workshop. In the past equipment was built and repaired by the technicians, including apparatus used by undergraduates. Once the workshop is closed down, the cost of equipment will double and triple as each job will require tenders from outsiders. For example, grad student John Gibson has a stream tank that was built in the workshop for approximately 1,700 dollars. A contracter called - in from Kitchener would have charged about IO,OOO dollars for the same tank. In the long run, by “saving”

50,000 dollars for the university, asministration is placing a financial burden on professors who will pay the extra cost from their research grants. Dean of science W. B. Pearson is the man chiefly responsible for the shutdown and consequent firings. He has chosen to ride on the popular mood of demand for less research and more teaching. In his letter to objecter Gibson he states, “In the present circumstances any money that the faculty spe’nds that is not absolutely essential, comes directly off that required to pay undergraduate teaching and to pay for graduate student support, and teaching and scholarship are presumably still the main functions of a university.” According to Pearson apparatus built and maintained is not related to teaching and scholarship. In firing the men, Pearson did not consider the loss of talented, highly qualified personell, nor the personal dilema of these men who are facing the bleak prospects of unemployment. But, again, this has nothing to do with teaching, which at this time is close to the dean’s heart. The faculty and grad students in biology are the most affected and have the least say in the matter. To them the workshop is essential. They feel that with a sensible rearrangement some of the technicians could be kept of staff. However; administration is not interested.

To all math ‘students. You have until march 8 to nominate a person or be nominated to the mathsoc council. Further information on the duties and obligations of members of council and nomination forms may be picked up in the mathsoc office, MC 3038. Congratulations to John Chisamore, Andy Haycock and Alex Stirling, newly elected regular reps on the federation council, and also to Ian Wells, the new co-op rep. Math students must remember that the deadline for dropping all courses in the math department is march 7.

Causes

, Some adjectives used in con.junction with the noun ‘university of Waterloo’ are: bureaucratic, elitist, institutionalized, depersonalizing, and alienating. This is jargon but it suggests that uniwat is slightly ascrew. The senior years dropout rate is probably a better indicator. This place really doesn’t have a very healthy learning atmosphere. In fact it is often an obstacle to education.

We can look at this from another direction. The parking gates are taking a shit-kicking. Why?

The university must change rapidly if it wishes to achieve its academic purpose. But it does not do this, because it has a lot of inertia. This inertia can best be overcome from the top because that is where the power is. But the people with power, no-matter how well intentioned, are inherently biased. The system has worked well for them ; why should it be changed? If the power holders are even slightly ill-intentioned, then we (the students) are screwed. Thus the students must change the university themsetves. But we can’t do it from the inside because we don’t have the power. One reason is that we’re not here long enough to exert any gentle, consistant evolutionary pressure. Not to mention that most of us are so alienated (brainwashed) that we couldn’t give a shit. We won’t change the system by aiding it. Therefore, obstructing ting) it.

If we actually defeat this system, a Matthews-Romenco solution will probably be applied. They will not strive to set up a more reasonable, less alienating system. Instead they will make the system stricter and irritate the causes of our actions even more. That’s the trouble with bureaucrats. This is o.k. though because if the system is funny now, it will be ridiculous then. And away we go again. If we don’t defeat the system, that’s o.k. too. They will probably step the present system enough to alienate us enough to start the whole mess all over again. In the long term, the final result will be 1) we will disturb enough shit that the administration will take a serious look at the fundamentals of this place (not very likely).

ment. The campus -Vietman Mobilization Committee sent a delegation to the feb. 5-6 Vietnam Action Conference which picked up the issue. The first-day, Saturday, over 150 antiwar activists from across Ontario met to plan the spring efforts against the U.S. intervention in Southeast Asia. About 60 per cent were labor and the rest students. Anita Bennett began the conference proper representing the National Peace Action Coalitionthe largest antiwar coalition in the States. She effectively destroyed the myth about Nixon’s winding down the war and outlined what she felt were Nixon’s real intentions in Indochina. She also gave a progress report on the International Day of Protest april 22. A panel followed which outlined Canada’s long history of defense aid to the U.S. since 1941. Since the Defense Sharing Agreement of 1959, $2,645 million worth of military goods has been sold to the U.S. Since 84 per cent of the companies that sell the goods are foreign owned, Canadians don’t even see the profits. And since onehalf of government funds for research and development goes to the Canadian tax military aims, payer is helping to finance the war through huge grants and tax privileges to those corhpanies. The Canadian government has offered on several occasions to help as a “peace keeping” force in Vietnam. Our past role on the ICC was one of helping U.S. interests. It was seen as ti prime task of the antiwar movement to expose the ties of the Canadian government to the U.S. war machine. A speaker from the New Zealand antiwar movement told of the mobilization of 3 per cent of the

of the-war. Labor is determined to answer to this “by putting Nixon and Trudeau I amongst the unemployed,” he said. Mary Cotter, representing the Irish Republican Clubs Qf North America and of the IRA (official), gave greetings and solidarity to the conference. The Irish people learned from the North American antiwar movement that unity and mass peaceful demonstrations are the only way to win. George Addison, the outgoing executive secretary of the Vietnam Mobilization Committee presented his action brief which after much debate was passed. His proposal was for a peace train to Ottawa on April 22 based on the principle of Immediate withdrawal of US troops as opposed to the set the date proposal of the opposing presentation. A panel on military research discussed the connections between tQe U.S. military and the Canadian Defence Research Board as revealed in the recent CUP artitles. A high school panel savri tihe building of the antiwar movement as intricately part .of the fight for democratic rights. The power of high school students was noted by the fact that a majority of the Amchitka actions were attended by high school students. Overall the conference set up an Ontario region Student Mobilization Committee to coordinate the campaign against war research on campus. Together with similar formations established in other conferences in Vancouver, Saskatoon and Halifax the campaign is becoming a crossCanada movement to climax on the student day of protest march 29. The campaign began at the university of Waterloo is now a reality across Canada.

My life and .hard times in co-ordination _ by boris prociuk the chevron

Co-ordination. Everytime I hear the word, my skin crawls. To those of you who are not familiar with the term, this is the body responsible for obtaining jobs, for all co-op students on campus. To aid this department, 50 dollars per term of each co-op student’s tuition is allotted to cover expenses incurred by coordinators, such as (1) numerous longdistance p.hone calls, (2) lunches bought for company representatives and the cost of (3) visiting co-op students on the job. For those of you just getting co-ordinated for the first time, here is what you might expect: ’ For a short two weeks, your &,smates who have been busily trying tp screw you out of every mark possible in classes, will now try to steal your job. Some try to get you to apply for the first 10 jdbs that are posted, since this removes you as a possible competitor for all jobs posted later. Othersoperate in just the reverse, telling you how dreary all the posted jobs are while claiming to apply for none, then laughing

their nuts off when you’ve only applied for two or three jobs and no niore are going to be posted.

The last time I was in co-ordination, our token “student co-ordinator” display in his own office, complete

I think he was re-copying a list of names ‘ust handed to him by an official “coj ordinator”, who is always easy to spot in his neatly-pressed suit and wearing a “It’s-notmy-fault-honest” look on his face.

Later, you will meet them in the corridors of the sixth floor of the math building, bathed, shaved and clothed to the hilt,, practising salutations such as “Good day, Monseignor,” “Greetings, my noble leige” and other thrilling openings to their eminent interviews If you arev’t wearing a suit, or your hair is a little long, you will inevitably overhear su!h remarks as1 “God, what was tha.t? I didn’t see any job Postings for apes.“, and ,manY other fine examples of engineering wltCo-ordinators help immensely by posting then jobs such as “student co-ordinator”, add later that the job is for students in 3-B or up. Obviously, in this term you must learn something that is carefully kept secret from someone not yet in 38, and this vast amount of knowledge makes you suddenly capable of handling the job.

I saw on with

Your ‘marks will be your rise or fall. If they are in the lower half of those applying for a job, you’re going to have to h us tl e your ass off in the interview, provided your grades aren’t so low that you’ve been “pre-screened” from the interview in the- first place. If your marks are low, and you have also committed the sin of having long hair or not wearing the latest fashion to the interview, you may as well go piss into a hurricane for all the good interviewing will do you. The companies-those benevolent institutions who are going out of their way to give you a job while generally getting overqualified help for under-paid -wages-are no better. Cancelling interviews at any time, they

can leave you sitting on your ass for the morning while you miss lectures and or tests which you have already re-scheduled., When they do interview you, some companies will state that they are keenly interested in you as a future eTployee. Ask someone else who was interviewed for the job (preferably a friend), and if he got the same friendly son-and-dance roytine, chances are the job described and the real job will have little in common. Rank these jobs strictly on their financial possibilities and you probably won’t be disappointed, since that’s the level the company is operating on also. Other companies may be more sincere, but as a rule a feeling of mild paranoia is a good basis from which to view your first session of co-ordination. So far, the student advisory council has managed toget the number of work reports reduced from six to four, and perhaps with the backing of Engsoc we can curb this mockery, even eliminate it, if -Engsoc could .get its nose out of strippers’ asses and start dealing with student problems. Let me leave you with the words of Principal Pooper, who once said: “Line-up, sign-up and re-enlist today, ‘cause we need more schooling, for more students for Morescience High.”

extradition

by robert chodos Last Post News Service

OTTAWA-On march 11, 1971, a battle between police and students broke out on the campus of the university of Puerto Rico in San Juan. Such clashes had occured frequently over the last couple, of years, sparked by the induction of Puerto rican youths into the-United States army, the presence of a Regular Officers Training Corps (ROTC) squadron on the university, and the growing sentiment among Puerto Ricans, especially younger ones, in favour of independence from american tutelage. Bullets flew from both sides, and in the pademonium three people were killed. One was an ROTC cadet, and the other two I were policemen, including Lt .-Col. Juan Mercado, the chief of the Puerto. rican riot squad. Soon afterward, the police began a mass round-up of students and independentist leaders in retaliation. This information comes from Humberto Pagan Hernandez, a twenty-year-old Puerto Rican student who since September 30 has been held in Ottawa’s Carleton County jail. He was one of those hauled in by the police net after march llseized in his home town of Aguadilla, where he had fled from San Juan in fear for his safety, taken to police headquarters, offered his freedom and a reward to turn state’s evidence, beaten and torured when he refused, and finally charged with Mercado’s murder and released on 30,000 dollars bail. The charge against him was serious enough, but it ‘was not the only danger he faced. The rightwing vigilante organizations which operated with the approval of police and, according to Hernandez, numbered policemen among its members, did not wait for the slow processes of justice. After Hernandez was released on bail, there were two attempts on his life. At the end of august, Hernandez left Puerto Rico and went to New York, where he got in touch with ai

He was housed here by some people who often put up draft resisters and deserters. They found him different from their usual guests-more politically conscious, more self-assured. Others who met him while he was free in Ottawa were also struck by the clarity of his-goals and the firmness with which he persued them, but no one got to know him well because his precarious position made him reluctant to make friends. On September 30, he was surrounded by four police cars, arrested, taken to Carleton county jail, and charged with illegal entry into Canada. The illegal entry charge was dropped in december, but he still faces a deportation hearing march 8, and, as a result of a request by american authorities, an extradition hearing march 29. While in jail, Pagan has been questioned by agents who refused to identify themselves and whom he suspects were either FBI or

Among the lawyers working on the case are Toronto civil-liberties attorney Clayton Ruby and the well-known American radical lawyer, William Kunstler . A defence committee for Hernandez has been formed around the nucleus of the informal support group of people who had been trying to arouse public sympathy for him, visiting him in jail, exchanging letters with him, and helping in any way they could before the march 8 hearing. Funds are needed to pay expenses of witnesses to testify on Hernandez’s behalf.

New Riders of the Purple Sage

/

Another Greatful Dead offspring has survived Gerry Garcia. The New Riders of the Purple Sage were formed when the Dead refused to practice with Garcia when he wanted to learn pedal steel. Garcia searched his seemingly endless musical sources and found Marmaduke (John Dawson) not doing, much, and David Nelson on his way to England. Enticed to jam with Garcia, they cut this record and ,have since found a new steel player.’ At the moment, they are not doing any concert work and seem to be working on the new personnel. Like most groups of this ilk, their album is full of great artists. The New Riders have Garcia and Hart of the Dead, and Commander Cody of the. Lost Planet Airmen (remember Alice Cooper). All the lyrics and music are by Marmaduke, and Garcia (heaven forbid) is not a great steel player, so look forward to the new group. The album has very strong western music roots, the kind

developed by the Byrds, and, to some extent, the Dead. In places, notably in songs like ‘Henry’ and ‘Louisiana Lady’, there is some bluegrass influence. The western influence is even evident in the lyrics, as in ‘Glendale Train’. There are probably 50 written around the reputed last train robbery of Jesse James. All of the traditional songs are sung from the point of view of the gang or the law. Marmaduke sees it from the train crew’s point of view. The people who owned the train also owned the banks of the old west. The banks bought up mortgages and threw out the farmers so that the steel rail could run from sea to sea. Jesse James’ father was shot in one of these evictions. Jesse had a beef with the trains and the banks. The song tells of two company men caught in the middle. (Just in case you wonder, Amos White, the baggage man, was given two chances to leave the baggage car before Jesse blew the shit out of it. > The cut ‘Dirty Business’ is

mechanical repetition of symbols. Both traditinal and modern symbolism abound: the snakecsex, the fall of Adam); the fish (fertility > ; a clock (time) ; trains, buses and schedules (the movement, passage of time); constant cigarette smoking (a popular existential symbol). Marois’ “ mechanism” may be the result of his inexperience as a writer, but it is more probable that he has deliberately used the technique to emphasize the mechanistic quality to the lives of his characters. But another kind of mechanism occurs which may not have been deliberate and that is the onesidedness of Marois’ approach. Marois has presented a potent account of individual human alienation but has failed to offer his reader a glimmer of an alternative. What I suggest is not the “look for the silver lining approach,” but that in every human situation there exists the means of transforming that situation into its opposite; that within the very nature of human (which is in fact social) alienation, must be found the means of human liberation. It is possible that it is the very madness of his characters which Marois offers as the antithesis to individual stagnation-the argument for madness may prove a tenable one. But Marois’ madness, one suspects, is not the madness which liberates society from the bonds of rational mediocrity, but only a highly individualized escape mechanism.

And many were being closed by the law because ‘the man’ wouldn’t make them safe enough to work. The worker got squeezed. No jobs at five dollars a day were around. It’s interesting to see rock and roll groups take ideas from people like A.P. Carter, Bill Munroe, and the Sons of the Pioneers and make it presentable to an ‘electric’ oriented audience. The Byrds started it with ‘The Sweet Heart of the Rodeo’. The progression of lyrics with traditional instrumentation was helped with groups like Jim Kweskin and the Jug Band, and the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. ( The New Riders offer Marmaduke’s lyrics that will have you singing them in ‘a day or two, and music with a country lilt that is hard to resist. Rumour has it that the Riders are holed up in San Francisco with a steel guitar player by the name of the West Virginia Creeper, getting ready to hit the concert circuit in the spring.

A White Man-3 Legacy Reservations Are For Indians by Heather Robertson James, Lewis and Samuel, Toronto, 1970

,.,.come in and browse.... __

The attitude of the federal government toward the Indians of Canada is strange and paradoxical. Actions such as the brutal crushing of the Riel uprising show open hostility and fear of the Indians and Metis. The low cunning which treaty-makers and traders used to dupe the Indians out of their wealth and land before 1900 points to white officials’ paternalism, contempt and greed. But the “well-intended” actions of missionaries, and clauses in the Indian Act seem to be evidence of a protective feeling toward Canada’s Indians, and may have been made with what was thought to be the Indians’ good in mind. But the church-run schools, for example, have been transparent efforts to increase the power of each sect’s and seriously private god, damaged Indian society. And laws made to keep reserve land in Indian hands have worked instead to keep the Indians in poverty. It seems, then, that any contact the white man’s institutions have made with Indians for good or bad motives, has harmed the Indians. The gifts of rum and. smallpox were no more harmful than the church, the Hudson Bay Company, the Department of Indian Affairs and welfare. They either seriously upset the delicate balance of the Indian’s society, or took his land, or broke his spirit. Reservations Are For Indians is a documentation of Indian poverty

and misery in Canada. It is by no means a history of north american Indians but rather a report of what the white man and his government have done to destroy Indian society. An opening quotation, the words of an old Indian from Hay Lake, Alberta, reads; “We- are a dying race. Not this generation, but the next, will die.” According to Heather Robertson, the author of Reservations Are For Indians, they are trying to die. She considers that the extremely high percentage of Indians in the country’s accidental death toll is representative not of some kind of accident-proneness on the Indians’ part, but the result of unconscious will to die. That cannot be proven, but Robertson cites the numerous deaths of Indians by stepping in front of fast moving cars on highways near reserves. The white authorities contend each “accident” is caused by drunken Indians walking on the white line back to the reserve, but the persistent repetition of the indidents and others involving Indians kneeling on railway tracks before speeding trains can make even a white man wonder at the kind of despair that results in this mass, unplanned suicide. Alcoholism -alone, according to psychologist Karl Menninger, is a form of self destruction. Robertson has a similarly unconventional explanation of the mass drunkenness of Indians. It is, of passive she says, a form resistance to the white man, by being public and therefore a public nuisance and embarrassment. Moreover, she insists that acts like

public urination are often done by sober Indians who are acting drunk, but in need of an excuse to strike back at the white man in even such a small way. Apart from a few spots in which Heather Robertson advances her theories as facts, Reservations Are For Indians is pure reportage. Robertson is a CBC producer, and it shows. Interviews in italics are cut in between narrative and analysis, and chapters are divided into vignettes or spots that shift from person, Indian to white, until the reader has supposedly seen everything juxtaposed in such a way as to provide the nest and best information. It usually works, except in cases when the boldfaced heading to a section doesn’t seem to relate in any way to what follows. The. format, with its noncontinuity, can be a barrier to someone looking for a light, simplistic story-type treatment. But these words in print have the immediacy of a tv image in their description of the bigotry of whites, poverty of the Indians, especially in the north, and the idiocy and obstructionism of the Indian Affairs Department. Because of this kind of treatment, Reservations Are For Indians is a very tight book. Nothing in it is superfluous, and every sentence affects the reader with the protrait of a proud people beaten into the ground. It. is the best, least compromising book I have seen on Indians, whether written by Indians or by whites. A white reader’s response is often anger that such injustice could be perpetrated in his name.

As a long time addict of squeezes, end plays, and all sorts of exotic coups, I have never been able to resist the fancy three-suit squeezes, the odd winkle or stepping-stone, with perhaps the kind of hand in which you must trump two aces and throw away a couple of kings, thrown in for good measure. They win bushels of match-points, or dollarswhenever they come up. To be a constant winner, you look for the quietly good play...

West opens -the king of hearts and continues with the ace. South ruffs, cashes the ace of spades, and leads a spade to West. In an actual game, West would have his next card on the table before you could say Ely Culbertson. Yes, West would lead another heart, and South would make his contract. South leads his singleton club, and West must step up with the ace. Now what?

lead : K of hearts

If he leads a club or heart, dummy can win and lead a diamond for a finesse. The diamond suit comes home, and declarer says gin. In an actual game, nobody rings a bell to tell the players that a beautiful play is to be made. Bells sometimes ring in this column however. You should be able to spot the quiet play that defeats the contract. When West is given his trump trick, he must not lead back a third heart. Instead, he quietly cashes the ace of clubs. Nothing dramatic about taking an ace, is there? Then West leads a third heart. South ruffs with his next-to-last trump and needs the rest of the tricks. He can get to dummy only once, and can therefore take only one finesse through the king of diamonds. Down one. As an addition to the bridge club’s sunday evening novice games, there will be a half-hour instruction period preceeding the game. Discussion will centre around duplicate strategy, but players should feel free to bring questions or problems covering any aspect of the game; our team of rufallible experts will be only too _ glad to help you out! Watch this paper for announcements of an upcoming novice club tournament, with increased master point awards.

Sunday, Bloody Sundav /

With the right combination of director, screenwriters and actors, a motion picture can climb above the level of “entertainment” (whatever that is) and become an instrument by which we may gain insight into how we treat each other and live with each other. This sort of motion pic’ture can be a painful experience, both for those who make it and those who go to see it.

I

It also suffers too often at the box since it must sacrifice office, dramatic action and comic action for the more mundane carrys-on of normal lives. In terms of theatre and “entertainment”, these films can be quite boring, despite exceptionally excellent acting and directing.

I

There are’a handful of directors working today who can, and want to, produce this type of movie: Bergman, ‘Nichols, Cassavettes and Schlesinger,among - others. John Schlesinger first drew real critical acclaim to his work when he presented a poignant portrait of New York City and the fragile platonic relationship between two people caught in that city’s cruelty. He has now done the same for London, but his story concerns three people, and their strangelyconnected inter-relationships are openly sexual. The movie is unfortunately titled “Sunday, Bloody Sunday,” a misnomer for north american audiences who either shun the movie because it COIljUITS Up another blood-and-guts shocker or go see it expecting the blood and guts. The movie could hardly be further from sex-and-violknceland. It is a compelling, intriguing, and slow-paced investigation of a delicate balance of lo\;e, friendship and commitment.

Peter Finch, Glenda Jackson and Murray Head portray the three people caught up in the orbit of each others’ lives. Schleinger painstakingly explores the boundaries of loneliness, love and interdependence in the lives of Finch-a reluctantly Jewish doctor-and Jackson-a lonely divorcee seeking, but not ready for, independence. Head’s character provides the tenuous link between the two principals. This is his first major ,movie, and his rare bi-sexual attractiveness is just right for this vital role. He tries to give his love equally to Finch and Jackson, without dividing it and without the absurd stringsin which most relationships inevitably get tangled. Both his lovers try, unsuccessfully, to achieve his ability to love freely without contracts and, eventually, both are left as lonely as before because they are unable to liberate themselves from the emotional rituals of the past. Sc hlesinger’s statement is perhaps somewhat diluted here in that both’ Head’s lovers are much older than he, both in age and in So the intimated message is th& only members of the “younger generation” can love in the new freedom, a dubious belief at best. Finch and Jackson have already distinguished themselves in past screen performances but, to their credit, both have refused to lifestyle

become

“glamOr"

Stars

in favOr

Of

living their own lives and picking their roles carefully. It is hard to remember a better performance from either of them than Schlesinger brings out. He must have a good hand with actors, because he also brought out Dustin Hoffman and Jon Voight’s best performances in “Midnight Cowboy.”

It is difficult to say that Head’s performance is outstanding since his acting comes off so naturally that the impression is that he is playing a character close to his own. But the sparks and the pain are there in the interplay among the three actors; the marks of a great motion picture. The sheik at watching Head leave Jackson’s bed to go to Finch’s must be considerable for the average 1972 movie-goer . But can their trauma be much deeper than that of Head and Finch, who must appear before the camera doing love scenes (read “sex scenes”) with both each other and with Jackson. Schlesinger’s compassionate and low-key presentation of homosexuality is a milestone in motion picture history. The only comparison that comes to mind is Christopher Isherwood’s matterof-fact accounts of homosexual relationships in his books of the 1930’s and 40’s. By c.omparison the contrived drama of “The Sargeant” or “The Fox”-b&h considered shocking taboo-breakers a few years back and exploitingly advertised as such-seem like childish’ dirty stories. At the same time Schlesinger probes the three-way involvment, he affords us glimpses of the rest of Fortress London-the addicts, the parties, the sophisticates, bickering “modern” married couples-which say more in a few brief scenes than whole movies centred on any of those topics have managed. The screenplay is highly intelligent while remaining nontheatrical, which is a rare enough treat these days, and the photography is beautiful in the same subdued manner which made “Mon Oncle Antoine” and “Women in love” cinematic masterpieces.

What happened? There was a radio Waterloo meeting last Wednesday that lasted almost two and a half hours and it seemed that were actually acthings complished. Jerry Cook requested a twenty-four hour time slot for bootleg recordings. After a discussion and reasonable minimal objection, it was decided to tape about twenty-four hours of albums, screen them, and play them in several two to six hour shows. The screening would eliminate cuts that are technically extremely poor and those which are virtually the same as the cuts. released by various companies. There were complaints that certain records (singles) were being thrown away or given away. As these records come in, interested persons should mark which should be kept. After one week, all unmarked records will be disposed of.

Some people would like to see radio Waterloo covering important sports events such as all home basketball, hockey, and football games. A sports director will be appointed to determine exact implementation of these policies. People woad like to present a short news synopsis once every two hours. Others have a desire to know what is good and what is bad about their shows. Unfortunately, a rather derisive‘ column appeared in the Gazette this week. A bozometric scale was used to rate shows. The majority of these ratings were fictitious or are typographical errors.

Years of Solit-ude Marquez, Aion

by

“One Hundred Years of ’ Solitude” could have been, from a a nauseatingly / Kazantzakis, sentimental, overly emotional South. American “passion”. Graham Greene might have strung together bits of guilt, good imanners and tea into an entertainment. But the novel Gabriel Ga‘rcia Marquez has written is nothing less than magnificent. “One Hundred Years of Solitude” is * a chronicle of the - Buendia family over a century of war, incestuous love, -magic, travel, paradox and madness. Jose . . Arcadia Buendia, the first of the line, journeyed for months over mountains in South. A\merica, to escape from the ghost of a man he ha& killed, and to build a new. home. When he found a spot, he and his followers built a fresh, beautiful town, Macondo. But though Macondo is visited periodically by gypsies who bring magical treasures and knowledge from the outside world, it is unknown and cut off from the rest’ of the country. The isolation of Macondo is representative of the solitude of all the Buendias. The town is young and growing vigourously. The people work, talk and make love. But it is ultimately solitary. Jose Arcadia flees to his own mad world after trying to perform wonders with the magical novelties of Melquiades the gypsy, and, is eventually tied to the trunk of a chestnut tree, where he lives the rest of his life in the solitude of insanity. His son Aureliano spends his time making tiny gold fish with ruby eyes. A day comes when he becomes outraged at the political injustices in the country, and as Colonel Aurelianq Buendia he leads twenty three revolutionary wars and meets defeat in every \ -one. Over the y-ears, seventeen women creep into, his battlefield hammock in the night, and leave, ‘before dawn, not to be seen again by Aureliano until -the day when he . is presented with ‘seventeen sons, all psysically different except for their look of” grave solitude, the

mark of the ‘Buendias. Each one is christened Aureliano, each. has a’ sign on his. forehead, and all are mysteriously shot one night, leaving Aureliano alone’ with his tiny gold fish once again. Marquez’ characterization is rich beyond description; Each figure in the complex plot is alive on the pdge, and has his own ironic fate or quality that is so beautifully and wittily created that despite. each one’s unique beauty or grotesqueness, the people are real, touching and almost familiar. One such figure is Mauricio Babilonia, a’ descendant of - the gypsies, who is in love with Renata Remedios Buendia. Though a mechanic with greasy hands and split fingernails;he has a peculiar elegance, and yellow butterflies follow him about. While he and ,Renata make love> at dusk in the Buendia bathroom amidst the yellow butterflies and scorpions, her mother. tries frantically to shoo butterflies from the rest of the house. Eventually Mauricio Babiloiiia is shot as a chicken thief. when climbing -into the bathroom -at sunset, butterflies follow Renata to the convent in which she is shut away by her _mother, and their son-but. the story is told better by Marquez. Marquez is a Colombian, and I -‘One Hundred Years of Solitude’ takes place in or near his country. A number of very fine writers from South America (notablygorge Luis Borges of Argentina and,Marquez) ’ are just being introduced to the rest of the world. It should have happened long ago. Superb as “One Hundred Years of Solitude” is, there is something lost to the North American reader because of his mere unfamiliarity with Latin American myths and Floods of images pass . allusions. before us, and perhaps we catch the beauty and appropriateness of some, but most of them remain unappreciated because of the, strange cultural assumptions of. Marquez’ writing. Even so, “One Hundred Years of Solitude,“‘*% borders on true greatness, “8nd’ is ’ something of a gift to anyone who troubles to find and then read it.

MONTREAL (CUPI)-With soaring unemployment, sagging wages and increasingly militant strikes, just everyone knows the economy of Quebec has proble ms. The militant union activity of the Quebec Federation of Labor and the Confederation of National Trade Unions, among others, has reflected a growing awareness of who is responsible for Quebec’s ’ economy. “Who Owns Quebec. 3”was the title of a forum held earlier this month at McGill University. The question was answered easily enough by one of the participants, Pierre Jauvin, a militant sociologist and member of the QFL. Jauvin pointed the finger squarely, at American business. He gave the following rundown corporations own in Quebec:

Quebec? We welcome

While the general pattern of U.S. investment holds throughout Canada, it’s impact is most damaging in Quebec where English Canadians earn 50 per cent more than the majority French population on the average ($4,940 compared to $3,185). As a cheap labor supply for both American and English Canadian business, Quebecois are frequently the hardest hit by fluctuations in the American economy. ,

“A friendly place place ” Complementary coffee & morning paper 10.51,, Victoria St. N , Kitchener 744-5171 D-84 .

Jauvin predicted that following current trends, “20 per cent of the Quebec labor force will be unemployed by 1980.” Furthermore, American companies reap huge profits by selling their manufactured goods as well as milking the Quebec economy by taking out all the profits that their subsidiaries make. Because of all the money which is going out of the province, Quebec is “forced to borrow money from the U.S. to make up this deficit. But such a process is not limited to Quebec, ” said Jauvin, “the Americans do the same thing in the rest of the world.”

SHERBROOKE (CUPI)--Despite \ administration pressure and threats of expulsion, 160 of the 230 students wh.o established the P University of Sherbrooke’s “parallel” social work department, last november, have refused to return to regular classes. The administration demanded Student students re-register for regular university courses by midnight last monday feb 21 or face expulsion. University spokesmen have said no decision has yet been made about dealing with the 160 remaining in the renegade department. The parallel social work department was created after a faculty decision to abolish the longwhereby established system students and faculty together assigned final marks. When assumed sole professors responsibility for ‘grading, the social work students met in general assembly and said they would accept no other system other ’ than student-faculty equality. The parallel department has been running its own regular lectures and seminars since midnovember assisted by social workers, psychologists and other resource people from outside the A twelve-member university. committee charged with running the department was selected by students. The department received support from several local labor groups as well as the Parti Quebecois . Association of Sherbrooke County. Negotiations have been going on with the administration but little apparent progress has been made toward getting the students back into the mainstream of the university. A student request for a three-week extension of the- re-registration deadline was turned down by the administration. Spokesmen for the social work students say they are willing to move their department off the Sherbrooke campus rather than compromise their principles on the democratic control of their education.

Eric Matlen: Ron, what are you doing... Why do you draw! Ron Cobb: First and foremost 1enjoy it. As to why deeper down I feel the need to do this I’m not really sure. I’ve‘ always been uncomfortable around people who are very certain about their world and their values no matter how defined: left, right, in the middle, religious, ‘irreli’gious, etc. So I find security in pointing out any valid example of contradiction or paradox within their framework of personality orientation or.belief. I take great delight in creating enormous confusion and uncertainty. I like to think-l leave a trail of very perplexed people with a potential that-at least I like to think this-with a potential that in a sort of older, biblical sense, they will be humbled by reality. They might not be so cocksure about *things. That, to me, is the beginning sf functional organizations, functional values. of thought, which is just - The only thing I accept about the organization really nerve impulses, i.nto what we might call perception or conc‘eption is that it be an extension of ttie functional needs of the animal. I think man, to get things done, must temporarily organize his behavior and focus his thoughts, relying on some expedient folk-tale about the true nature of the world. ’ I have nothing against that. What I object to is when people begin to feel that these temporary organizations of thought which facilitate‘ -action are reality itself. They begin to think that the world is that way; is this or that system. I don’t accept the idea that any of these organizations can have any value but that they function, And that’s almost always temporary. . , EM: I know a lot of people think of you as a ‘political cartoonist’ and yet you don’t. Why is your definition of yourself different from theirs? RC: When someone says ‘political Cartoot%st’ my mind conjures up images of someone very much involved in the body politic; cons.tariIly commenting on political issues, political personalities, political situations. I think that most editorial/and political cartooriing operates within the assumed values of our culture. We have a whole net of definitions as to what is going on, what -is bad, what must be avoided, what must be sought. And cartoonists consistently take .one side or another commenting on th’is aspect or that, endlessly reflecting the traditional aspiratiohs and warnings of man. I fee1.a sense of frustration to go into just these areas, and constantly dwell in the realm of one poiitical position against another, one political attitude against anothet?..all these things are too cut q-td dried. They’re playing with blocks and I have a feeling I want to break it, I want to break it all and say ‘look at what is! Look at the ‘hard void!’ And so e,Jen though I may dip into what might be considered a political realm of human -activity I’m much more fascinated with man and his relationship to reality. This reiationship intrigues me far more than man and his.relationship to man because that’s too subjective. You’re all ensnared in a lot of human assumption about what is good and what is bad and I don’t like to get into that area.

EM: People have said to me that your cartoons‘depict extreme positions aren’t really relevant. What do you say to that? . and therefore RC: I like potent, dramatic situations. I like to bring people up to the edge of extreme occurrences. Th’at doesn’t make me an extremist. You -see, I am in no way saying that what I draw is going to happen. Everything I do is just ink on paper, it’s not reality. It’s just that when I create something on the page I am utilizing the illusion of reality for an effect. I’m fascinated with man in stress situations, I’m fascinated with man at a crisis. So I love to create artificial crisis, because I think that rather than a cartoon making a timid, harmless point I would much prefer to draw someone into a Gtuation where they have to say...‘Yeah! That could happen!’ or ‘Yeah!...what would I say if that did happen?‘-where they have to react. EM: Why does a crisis situation attract you? RC: It attracts me because man-certainly Western Industrial Manhas the ability to build walls between himself and nature, rea!_ity, and all that can occur. We have d,eveloped the capacity to live qn a chessbo&d where a lot of illusiory values can be. maintained and seem to be realwhere definitions reign supreme. Too often the mere,facf that man has words for things, too often the fact that man has t.he ability to label and c/ategorize...h& ovet’does it and

the graphics of paradox begins to condition his children to view all reality, to reduce all that is true and real, to that which can be talked about, described, and categorized. And that’s a terrible limitation. But a crisis, one way or another, will bring man face to face with his maker, or will bring man face to face with his deeper nature. These moments inevitably shortcircuit the human nervous system, biologically too, in a way, and put man all together. The categories have to be put aside, and you just feel something...from top to bottom! And these moments, these flashing moments when he’s all put together, like Jung says, are the only times when he’s really sane, in a way. Naturally it may be traumatic, but in the long run I would like to see, people put-together more often. I mean, it’s unfortunate it takes disasters and hideous reversals of the order and symmetry of life to do this, but these moments, !ike sexual orgasm, the threat of death, disaster, extreme fear or sadness, or just intellectual contradiction leave man face to face with the void. And at that moment man is at his highest potentiaI...because he’s integrated. So I love to create the intellectual contradiction, I love to expose paradox. You see, the nature of a paradox is that it exists within the system of beliefs. It isn’t like taking an outside counter-idea or belief and playing one against the other; it’s to take two elements of what someone believes in and simply put them side by side, and they don’t fit. This to me is intriguing.

EM: Well, let me ask you this: do you advocate actual crisis or hypothetical ones? RC: In no way am I advocating that what I draw occur. And I think most people realize this, that I toy71 mean after all, it’s a cartoon-l do a caricatureof reality to bring about a model crisis and place it before the eyes of another human being so that he- can experience these things, experience the integrating effect whether it be anger, fear, etc. I’m not advocating these things, as I have said before, but I’d like to make them occur in a newspaper before they possibly occur on the streets. Because I think in a sense we have no third choice. Either we’re going to fearn how to come face-to face with impending doom, with evil, with contradiction and with paradox and hash it out now, or it is going ‘:o occur to us. EM: What do you think man’s salvation is going to be, then? RC: Just as I’m not used to really consciously thinking, I’m not used to really dwelling on the future or the past. I kind of look at the things in front of my face and not much else. I vaguely have some weird ideas of the future, but again, this whole idea of mapping out the future, of being sure of something... Personally I don’t accept the validity of prediction at all. The act of predicting the future more or less guarantees that it will not happen. Because one can only predict the future on the basis of what is happening now, and the future will always be something else, one way or anot her. I want to be open. I want to be receptive to what will happen rather than expecting things I think will happen. I don’t see any advantage in being intellectually prepared for a carefully constructed projection of what the future will be like. I would rather be prepared in the sense of feel; I like to feel things coming: have kind of a sensation orientation. I don’t like to have specificideas about what is going to happen because that dooms me to think of things that may not happen at all. I have feelings that man could live in his own skin a great deal more comfortably; and that man is sort of on the way to really coming to grips ’ with what he actually is, opening out to all his potentials, which are essentially mysterious. I think that right now we have to acknowledge that most of what really matters, and most of what really motivates man is not clearly understood. And just to understand that, I think, is a step in the right direction. Just to be open to the fact that there’s a lot to be learned. Let’s not make up our minds. We can artificially make up our minds, on a functional basis, but let’s not close the book. We’re just starting to understand ourselves. I’d like man to be a little bolder, a little more willing and perhaps even a little more excited about the prospect that we’re not summed up, that we’re not fully defined. Let’s talk about it...Let’s explore it...

Warriors - fourth in league Western tops the The mustangs from university of western Ontario continued their barrage on top honours in the OUAA last weekend by capturing the squash crown for the second consecutive season. The valiant Waterloo team could only salvage a fourth place finish. Having won the national football title and threatening the league in swimming, track and field, basketball and hockey (as well as just about every female sport) the mustangs have added another winner to the circle. squashchamThis year’s pionship was not as easy for the London team as was the last, they had stiff competition from Toronto and York but a well-rounded team proved too powerful for the other squads. After the three-day round robin tournament played on their home courts, the mustangs tallied 25 points to Toronto’s 23 and York’s 22. Waterloo led the second pack with 12, Queens gained 11, Trent 9 and MacMaster 3. As had been the case leading up to the event, the top three teams had the most experienced players and showed their depth in the three-day affair. On friday, York had the worst side of the draw when they had to play the top competitors-western and Toronto. On that first day, the eventual third place finishers lost seven of ten matches leaving them out of the championship. The tournament was then undecided until the third and final day when Toronto met Western. To tie the defending champions, Toronto had to beat Western 3-2. In the first match Bob Smart kept Western’s hopes alive by defeating Toronto’s Mark Khanna but Paul Bruce pulled an upset for the Toronto team by posting a 3-l win over defending singles champion Peter Gudewill to even the series at l-l: Both John Wright and - Don Hauser of Toronto went ahead in the deciding games taking game leads of 2-O over the London op: ponents. Lloyd Swift and Mark Pigott, however made remarkable comebacks and took three games straight from the Toronto players to win the matches 3-2 (one extended to overpoints), giving western three of the five matches and the OUAA championship. The singles champion, awarded to the best player in the number one seeding, did not go to a member of the top three teams but to Richard Fleming of Trent who

diug problem-\? compiled a perfect 6-O record in matches. For the Waterloo squash team, it was not their best tournament as they were unable to win the important matches against Queen’s, Toronto and York. Although losing 3-2 to Queen’s in matches, they-did manage to edge the Kingston team for fourth place. Abe Ibrahim and Paul Dunning, playing in number four and five position respectively, had the best records for the warriors with three wins against two losses. Ibrahim had by far his best tournament of the year. In compiling his record, he upset Mark Pigott of Western 3-1, but lost two matches to York and Queen’s players by the closest of margins, 3-2.

Paul Dunning played steadily throughout the tournament and kept his teammates in suspense in one particular match against Western’s Lloyd Swift. Dunning won the first game easily and in the second, fell behind 14-8 but took five straight points to bring the score to l3q4. In the next rally he produced an excellent serve which Swift returned weakly to the front of the court, and Paul, with an excellent chance to put it away hit it into the tin. Swift then won the third game. Paul won the fourth in overpoints and the fifth and deciding game was close from the initial serve. Long rallies of wall shots cross courts and remarkable gets marked the encounter as the game went into overpoints and Swift outlasted the tiring warrior 5-2. For Doug MacLean, John Frederick and John Cushing (playing in number one, two and three positions) the competition was tough and they were each able to win only two of their six matches. John Frederick deserves some praise for his efforts as he earned-, . the respect of his opponents and the gallery by being an extremely tough competitor in the squash courts. He thrilled the spectators with his spectacular gets and constant running, most of his opponents were relieved at the matches’ end. On the whole, the warrior team had a good year. In the western Ontario ‘C’ league, they compiled a 31-19 record, their best so far-and in the intercollegiate circuit consistently ended behind York, Western and Toronto. Squash coach Sandy Morgan gains the respect and thanks of the players for his efforts to improve their game, but next year will require new faces as the team loses many of the top seeds.

The U.S.S.R.‘s national student hockey team was beaten 4-l by the team that most fans consider ‘the best student team in Canada, the university of Toronto Varsity Blues. The game took place, february 22 in Varsity Arena before a capacity crowd, a somewhat partisan capacity crowd. The game was interesting in that two styles of hockey were pitted against one another. The heavy checking game of the Blues was pressed against the pin point passing of the CCCP team. First off, let’s admit that the Reds were tired and were sharpening up their second string goalie. The second confession is that the Blues goalie had the hottest night a Canadian inter-collegiate goalie has had in years, (lots and lots of post and cross-bars didn’t hurt. 1 The U.S.S.R. team played the standard moving box that has typified soviet teams since ‘68. They move four players in a geometric form while roving the fifth player after the puck. The technique has mystified Canadian teams in world and Olympic play but Tan Watt seemed to have the right line. He used an old Bob McKilloo Warriors-against-the-Blues, tactic. On any break, you change the rest of the team and have fresh men on tired men. Watt then forchecked the Commies on their side of the red line. The Blues played their typical fast game and forechecked well. They controlled both creases. The Reds had a very difficult time trying to get into the rough game out in front and continuallyI left the Varsity players standing. However, the CCCP nats showed glimpses of what is happening at the World Student Games. They had players with unpronouncable names that skated at unbelievable speeds. It is surprising to see a Blues defenseman easily passed by at any time. But to see it happen with the skill and frequency that the Reds showed was beautiful. Here begins the ‘Ode to D&no’. The Toronto second-string goal tender was both spectacular and laiden with the proverbial horseshoes. As mentioned earlier, the Pinkos seemed doomed to hit the old metal all night. However Durno was simply amazing with falling away glove saves and behind the back blind catches. ’ Twice during the night Durno got deserved standing ovations from the true Blue fans. ! The night was laiden with interesting sidelines like the USSR students disbelief of the Lady Godiva Marching Band and long hired wierdo’s. Sitting next to the Chevron contingency was the Czech student Hockey Fans International, who after every Blues goal wa-ved a Czech flag and shouted “Remember Prague.” Those people who saw the game on the tube will probably agree the event was one of the finest collegiate games played.

. Women in sport: a marginal status of almost-maleness I

T IS, THE OLD WISDOM SUGGESTS, on the playing fields of America where young boys are made into men. It never happens that way, of course, but it is supposed to. But since athletic competition serves as a masculinity rite, it is not surprising that women who participate, in, competitive sports are faced with a degree of discrimination and oppression that at least equals that which women encounter in any other area of American society. ._ __ _The woman athlete, no matter how high her level of athletic skill may be, is never fully ‘accepted in this milieu with all its male mythology. Nothing could be more devastating for a male athlete than to be defeated by a woman; and at the same time, the qualities of aggressivity and muscularity required for athletic success result in women athletes often being ostracized by other women. . Because she is perceived as a threat by both men and women, the woman athlete is often a lonely, marginal person, never fully accepted by either group. Marie Hart, a prominent woman physical educator, succinctly describes this dilemma: “American society cuts the penis off the male whoenters dance and places it on the woman who participates in competitive athletics.” Didrikson Zaharias, Mildred “Babe” described by Paul Gallico, one of America’s most distinguished sports writers, as “probably the most talented athlete, male or female, ever developed in our country” encountered the difficulties suggested by Dr. Hart on an almost daily basis throughout her athletic career that lasted from the early 1930s to shortly before her death from cancer in 1955. Mrs. Zaharias won national and international titles in nearly every sport open to women during her 25-year career as a competitive athlete. Before turning to golf during the later years of her career, where she won every amateur and professional title available to a woman, she was a star in track and field at-the 1932 Olympic Games and was a perennial All-American in basketball. Though she stood only 5 feet, 6 and on-half . inches and weighed no more than 125 pounds, she was constantly portrayed by the male sportswriters of the time as having a boyish appearance. She wore her hair short for convenience but she was an extremely attractive woman. Despite this, she was always referred to as a tomboy, and according to Gallico, one of the favorite jokes of the male sportswriters was that athletic promoters never knew whether to assign her to the men’s or women’s locker room when she showed up for a competition. It is of course true that there are some women athletes whose size and-appearance qualify them as being “unfeminine” according to traditional Western standards, but, as was the case with Mrs. Zaharias, most women athletes are treated the same regardless of their actual physical appearance or behavior. (The exceptions to this occur in sports that are characterized by graceful movements and little physical exertion, such as ice skating, diving, gymnastics, skiing and similar activities, where a woman can participate without being typed as “masculine.“) Feminine consciousness

Not surprisingly, most women who participate in competitive athletics are extremely conscious about looking “feminine.” Vicki Foltz, a 27-year-old married woman who is probably America’s finest woman long distance runner, was asked in a recent interview whether she had any “feminine hang-

ups about running.” She responded’ “Yes, I have lots of hangups. You wouldn’t believe it. I always worry about looking nice in a race. I worry about my calf muscles getting big. But mostly I worry about my hair. The morning before my last big race it was hailing and blowing, but there I was in the hotel with rollers in my hair. I knew the rain would ruin my hairdo, but I fixed it anyway. I suppose it’s because so many people have said women athletes look masculine. So a lot of us try, subconsciously maybe, to look as feminine as possible in a race. There’s always lots of hair ribbons in the races!” If an attractive’ mature married woman with children like Vicki Foltz feels this pressure, one can only imagine what it must be like for younger women athletes such as the female swimmers who often participate in the Olympics while still in their early teens. Marion Lay,for instance, participated in the Tokyo Olympic Games when she was only 14 years old. By 1967 she had developed into one of the finest female swimmers in the world, and she won four silver medals at the Pan American Games that year. She won a medal at the 1968 Olympic Games and also served as captain of the Canadian Olympic women’s swimming team despite being only 18. But in many ways, her career was frustrated. The only coaches available to her were men, since in swimming, as in nearly all other sports, it is next to impossible for a woman to advance in the coaching profession. Marion found that nearly all the male coaches and officials she met refused to accept the fact that she was as dedicated to swimming as any of the male athletes. The attitude of male coaches and officials seems to be that women are somehow incapable of being as dedicated to sports as men, whereas in reality the opposite is often true. Being a marginal person, as I pointed out earlier, the female athlete often dedicates herself to sport with a fervor unmatched by male athletes since athletic success is one of the few satisfactions available to her. Unlike the case for male athletes’ athletic prowess does not assure a woman of social status. The final step in the Catch-22 of women’s sports is that those women athletes who do totally dedicate themselves to sport are invariably labeled as being masculine by the male-controlled sports establishment. Cardboard

by Jack Scott,

participate in sports while dating. The ‘shortness of their careers is due to other circumstances: the tremendous social pressures I’ve mentioned’ and also the fact that only a handful of colleges in the entire United States gives even partial athletic scholarships to women. , Compared to men, the opportunities for women to be supported while competing in athletics after high school are almost nonexistent. Additionally, most women college physical educators attempt to steer women students away from highly competitive athletics.

\

_

Double standard

-If a woman does survive all this, she faces a double standard even after achieving a sufficient skill level to participate in national or international level competition. This past track season the AAU barred on of our most prominent female track sta Ps from international competition because of “unladylike” behaviour on a foreign tour the previous summer. . Her “un lady1 i ke” behavior involved a member of the US men’s international team that was touring along with the women’s team, but this individual was not even reprimanded. The frustration of the woman athlete is further compounded by her inability, because of basic differences in speed and strength, to ever achieve sucess according to male standards. Hopefully, our society will come to the point where women will not only be given equal opportunity to participate in sport,’ but will not be made to feel that they are somehow inferior athletes because they run 100 yards in 10.5 rather than 9.5. Simone de Beauvoirbest sums it up in The Second Sex where she writes,“...ln sports the Ind in view is not success independent of physical equipment; it is rather the attainment of perfection within the limitations of each physical type: the featherweight boxing champion is as much of a champion as is the heavyweight; ~the woman skiing champion is not the inferior of the faster male champion; they belong to two different classes.”

maleness

All the desirable qualities athletes must possess if they want to achieve a high level of success have been made synonymous with our cardboard concept of masculinity. This point was brought home to me when in a recent Sports Illustrated article the male diving coach of Micki King, America; s, and perhaps the world’s, finest woman diver, attempted to compliment Miss King by saying he knew early in her career that she was going to be great because “She dives like a man.” . My immediate reaction on reading that statement was that she sure as hell doesn’t dive like me or any other man I ever met. In fact, she doesn’t dive like 99 percent of the men in America. What she obviously does do is dive correctly. Another lrlyrn that the male-dominated athletic world works. to perpetuate about women, especially the female teenage swimming sensations who began their careers at the age of 12 or so, is that they invariably retire when they get to be about 17’ because they become interested in boys and no longer have time for competitive athletics; Conveniently ignored is the fact that most male athletes are not known for their sexual abstinance. If male athletes have time for girl friends, there is obviously no reason why’ female athletes could not also continue to

ITIS All men’s broomball teams are asked to contact the intramural office today to find out when they play. The tournament starts monday, march 6th at 11: 15 pm at Moses Springer arena and continues until sunday, march 12, The final game will be sunday, march 12th at Moses starting at 1O:lO pm.

Hockey play-offs Anyone who dares make predictions about intramural hockey needs his head read. It was assumed that the upper and lower faculty teams would readily sweep the residence and village teams into the cupboard for another year. However, playoff fever has a way of creeping in. In Series A, the highly favoured upper eng team got their overconfidence just about taken out of them by a determined village south crew. After the the first period it was O-O. After the regulation I play o-o. Not until the mid-stages of the overtime period could upper eng dint village south’s stout defense and outstanding goal tending by Hershman. Finally, Lumb from eng fired the winner. Final score 1-O in overtime for upper eng over village south. I In Series B, the high spirited team from Renison was matched against the lower faculty league powerhouse team from Arts. Arts opened the scoring early with Kelley beating Hirlehey from Renison at the 3 minute mark; -4 minutes later Arts added its second with Boghossian finding the open side. Half way through the second, Renison finally got untracked when Towndrow whistled one past Joe Ward. Arts being the pressure team, unleashed two more goals by Westwater and Wakefield to make it a convincing 4-l decision over Renison. The game was marred by some unexcusable rough house tactics which will result in some disciplinary action on both sides. In intramurals, fighting carries an automatic game suspension and game misconduct, whil-e interfering with ’ an official can be as long as a year suspension. Action is pending a meeting of the protest committee. In Series C most people assumed upper math would annihilate village 2-SE. In 11 minutes of the first period, score upper math 4 - village 2-SE 0, on goals by Chupa, Fallon, Mocci and Sampson. Village. 2-SE appeared shell-shocked and their goalie Saubovin was wondering if he was alone on the ice. However, something must have been said at half time, because village 2-SE showed their class of the village league and popped 3 goals to round out the scoring. Final score 4-3 upper math- who were a little shaky in goal. In Series D, the final game of the night saw the spirit of the colleges upset the strength of the lower faculty. Optometry came out like. steam rollers and in 2 minutes 15 seconds held a 1-O lead on a goal

...into the playoffs by Nephin. Then they stopped. St. Paul’s suddenly popped in 3 unanswered goals in 8 minutes and it was a new game. Their first goal was scored while they were killing a penalty when Bedford scored his first of 2 for the evening. His goal was quickly followed by markers from Gellattley and Charette. The final St Paul’s goal by Bedford was really the icing on the cake, as he single handedly beat Chantry of Optometry. Upset score St. Paul’s 4 - Optometry 1.

St Jeromes win spiking crown An overpowering St. Jeromes college team set and spiked their way through three weeks of league play and then finshed it off on tuesday night with an undisputed 2-O win over village l-south 154 and 15-5. The bagbitter crew ran into some difficulty in the semi-finals when they came up against a tough phys ed & ret club comprised of 4B jocks. They dropped the opening game 15-10 and then stormed back with some excellent positional play and powerhouse spikes to take the next two games 15-12 and 15-4. Village l-south was also met with good competition in the semi’s as they battled their way past lower math 16-14 and 15-12 to advance to the finals. Phys ed and ret didn’t go away empty handed however, as they regrouped their resources and took the consolation final 155 in each of the first two games against lower math.

Basketball semis Monday The men’s competitive basketball regular league play was finalized last Monday as eight teams--battled for a playoff birth for the quarter finals. Env. Studies dropped St Jeromes independent team 48-19 leaving Lone St. Jeromes team to go.

For many university athletes travelling on road trips , or to national championships little is seen of the community they compete in. Often one leaves the bus, and heads straight into the gym or pool, competes, hits a restaurant, maybe the hotel if its an overnight trip and them comes home again. Dueto the air traffic controllers strike last week the three Athena swimmers, Chris Lutton, Debbie Farquhar and Judy Abbotts were forced to leave a day early to make sure they would arrive in Fredericton in time for the CWIAU national championships. After waiting five hours at Toronto airport Wednesday their Vicount finally left the, runway for the Maritimes but without any food aboard. Luckily the red faced stewardesses remembered the emergency peanut rations put on board the year the plane was built. The six stale peanuts per package were doled out to passengers so all could survive. Upon landing at Fredericton International and greeted by a big welcome sign, everyone piled into a mini-bus for the short fifteen mile ride to the capital city. The first night the Ontario group of twenty-three, swimmers and four divers stayed in New Brunswick’s tallest building-The Lord Beaverbrook Hotel. The Athenas were given the top floor-the seventh, to themselves. Little time was spent up there however for the hotel served good food. That evening, quite naturally to k.eep all in shape there was a practice in the Lady Beaverbrook gym-pool at the University of New Brunswick. UNB we found was no late comer to the educational scene being founded in 1785. The entire school, built on the site of a hill that is as steep as Hamilton Mountain, looks very impressive from a distance but walking is only for mountain goats and your worst enemy. In fact its so steep there is

a ski tow just outside the physed building. I On Thursday the Athenas went out on the town, opened a provincial museum three months ahead of schedule, toured the provincial legislature (luckily it wasn’t in session), visited a number of downtown ‘shops, but missed the art gallery by about an hour. In the afternoon they changed hotels and went for another dip in the pool before supper. Friday morning came early and the girls were entered in one-individual event as well as a relay. Chris went in the 200 yard individual medley and went her best time this year but ended in 13th spot. Debbie had the same luck in the 50 yard freestyle placing 13th just 5-100th of a second out of twelfth spot. Judy ‘was placed in the loo butterfly and went 1 :O6.84 in the afternoon and 196.81 in the evening finals, being clocked by electric timers which were great when they functioned which was on again off again. ~Her 1 d6.81 was good for fourth place and her lifetime best over the distance. Debbie and Judy were also on’ the Ontario ‘A’ conference relay team with Ann Walton and Alison Bays of Guelph. There is little doubt in the minds of some that the team was third but due to timing errors, which were, it seemed, a common occurance, the squad placed fourth. Enough for second guessing blind officials ! After the finals were over at 10 :30 pm the Athenas tripped back to the Diplomat hotel with the rest of the Ontario crew and were almost-- killed when there were six ---sandwiches waiting for them at the front desk, and closed dining room doors greeted the rest of the squad. Saturday’s heats started bright and early at 11 am. Judy, Chris and Debbie all entered the first event, the 50 butterfly. Judy came in third in 30~seconds flat while Debbie and Chris went 32.06 and 32.10 respectively. In the evening finals Judy walked away with a third place ribbon in the event going her best time, a 29.6 seconds. Debbie and Chris placed fifth and sixth in the consolations. Chris also swam the 190 breaststroke, an event she seldom tackles, while Debbie was in the meets longest event, the 490

* ‘

freestyle where she went 5:ll.s good for fourth place in the consolations. Meanwhile Judy decided, although not totally on her own accord, to try to survive through, the 400 individual medley. Everyone on the bench promised to have the ring buoys ready for a quick rescue. Needless to say they weren’t needed for Judy swam to a sixth place finish going 5:33.9-a new team record for an event designed - only for workhorses. -Judy also swam on the Ontario conference relay team which placed third behind Alberta and British Columbia and went a 1 i07.3 for the loo yard butterfly split. IOther team members were Cathy Brace from Queen’s, Ann Walton and Alison Bays of Guelph. At the conclusion of the meet a huge banquet was put on by UNB and after that a ‘social’ get together that almost turned into a full scale donnybrook between the Ontario gals and the overall conference winners, the west. Sunday was another early day after a late evening by all but everyone made the Fredericton International in time to catch flight 801, DC-9 jet service to Montreal, Toronto, and points west. This time Air Canada served the team members two meals, without peanuts. While one cannot overlook the excellent swimming tha*t stood place and the fine job the Waterloo three did when up against some of Canada’s finest swimmers who will be going to the Olympics this summer, one alsoehas to look at the other side of the trip. The new friends made, the old friends seen again, and the opportunity to travel to another part of Canada is also one of the great things about competing in athletics. This year unfortunately \ the three Waterloo ‘swimmin women’ were the only Athenas in any sport to have the opportunity to compete at a national, level-but , next year there will-be more.

Warrior . grapplers win OUAA... _ ...second in nationa\ls

Important staff meeting tuesday night 7 pm

by Nutsy Neeland the chevroq

The OUAA Wrestling Championship was won by the warriors on february 18 and 19. The competition’, held at Guelph, ended -in a dispute over the 167 pound weight class. The dispute arose when the final match in the 167 class finished in a draw between the warrior’s Fred Scheel and Western’s Bill McDonnell. The actual dispute was over the procedure for breaking the tie. If the first place went to McDonnell, Western and the warriors would end up in a tie for the team championship. for the second year in succession. If the decision went to Fred the warriors, would have the team championship to themselves. Naturally, Western was in favour of the method that would give them the victory. McDonnell had won three matches, one of them by a pin. Fred had won two matches, both by pins and had a bye in the preliminary matches. The Ontario Wrestling Association ruling on tie situations states that the person with the most wins is the victor. But the FILA (international association) states that the competitor with the most pins is declared the winner. A phone call was placed to Bill the president of the Manson, Wrestling Officials Association, in Edmonton, for an official interpretation of the FILA rules. Manson said that the competitor with the most wins by pins should be declared the winner. Since the OUAA regulations state that the FILA rules will apply to all intercollegiate wrestling events Fred Scheel was declared the winner and the warriors won the team title. Pat Bolger did his usual trick and picked up an easy victory in the 142 pound class. He was saving himself for the upcoming CIAU (Canadian Intercollegiate ,Athletic Union) championships in Saskatoon february 25 and 26, What ever the reason she was a fine chic. , John Barry, a Pan American Games competitor, was voted the outstanding wrestler of the meet while winning the 126 pound class , for the warriors. John was saving himself for the upcoming victory party at which he intended to replenish the body liquids he lost during the competition and his weight reduction. Don Spink, .another good partying man, came out top man in the 150 pound class. Just to prove that he could stay in shape while on his work term, George Saunders won the 190 poundclass. We don’t know how he kept in good form through the long cold winter nights in northern Ontario but, he proved his point. Warriors might have won a sixth but Tim Wenzel first place, suslained an injury to his left arm during the preliminary matches and had to wrestle with one arm. He lost his last preliminary match by a 4 to 2 decision. Tim was a> unable to take part in the final j rounds on Saturday because of his injury. Other results for the warriors; Jim Skelly second in the 118 pound class, Tim Wenzel fourth in the 134

pound class, Jim Lottimer fourth in the 158 pound class, Pat McKinty fourth in the 177 pound class and Scott Marshall fourth in the heavy class.

50” off on

Saskatoon Five warrior wrestlers headed to Saskatoon last thursday for the Canadian intercollegiate wrestling championships. The warriors arrived at the Toronto international airport at about six in the evening for their eight o’clock flight, like many other travellers of the skies their flight was delayed. They’ would now depart at one o’clock in the morning. The five-plus the coach, Kurt Boese, hijacked a taxi to the center of the big town, Toronto. They took in one of the latest flicks, (which the coach did not like). It must have been one of the five who selected the flick, but nobody will comment on the content of it. (Could it have been a foreigntype? ) The meet, according to a Saskatoon‘resident, on her way to the American indoor track and field championships, was not well publicized. She said that it might have been due to the fact that there were no wrestlers from Sakatoon in the championships. The warrior’s ‘Pat Bolger and John Barry placed first in their weight classes, Pat retaining his championship from last year. The remainder of the five, Fred Scheel, Don Spink and George Saunders all placed second. The coach felt that it’ would have been possible for Scheel and Saunders to place first if they were not on their work term now. George’s training method for the long, cold winter nights was good enough for an OUAA championship but not for a national. Let’s hope that it improves before the Olympic trials. The warrior five plus one became the warrior five plus one minus two on the flight which took them back home. Don Spink and Fred Scheel missed the flight because they ‘slept-in’, at least that was the excuse they gave the coach. Most of the wrestling-typewarriors are taking things easy this week. John Barry is catching up on his food consumption, he is now two weight classes above the one he competed in last week end. The next competition for most of the warriors will be the Ontario open championships. The western universities placed first with the Ontario group in second. The University of Alberta was the best team, I with the warriors in second place. The OUAA and possibly the CIAU wrestling championship will be televised this week end. Much of the success of the wrestling warriors is owed to the coach, Kurt Boese. To have the talent on campus is one thing, but to bring it up to its potential takes a person with special talents, which few people possess. Kurt has done more than bring his athletes up to their potential, in some cases they have gone beyond that point. Keep up the fantastic work Kurt. I

AT TUESDAY; beer, & rugger: great mixers!

.

_

...and then each year it is said that the university of Waterloo varsity rugger team is invited to attend the Mardi Gras (fat tuesday) invitational rugby tournament courtesy of Tulane university in the southern city of New Orleans or, as the locals say, N’Orrleans, and said team, from the depths of a winter blizzard, manages to make the fifteen hundred mile voyage to the bottom of the states to revel and play in the ninety degrees of ocean breeze ‘neath the swaying palm trees, lulled into the bliss of sleep by the sight of seminaked girls in long grass skirts swaying sensuously to the sound of the water lapping on the beach .......... ...and each year the team employs a’bus upon which they load all their possesions and, in great glee, depart from the snow drifts of this wondrous city... some time.. after setting out on the journey a voice wanders up from behind “now let’s see. One hour gone and I’ve had two beer. Gonna take us thirty hours to get there. Hey! That’s sixty beer!” and his two empty bottles roll past my feet as the bus slows for a stopping vehicle... three hours out forty-four happy voices raise in tribute to the country we are entering as we cross to Detroit “Oh say can you see the fog on L.A. what so proudly we made in our great society.” and blearily bid farewell-- to Canada as we roll up to U.S. Customs where a sign says that it is illegal to import anything into the States having a value without declaring it. Nothing is declared. Nobody has anything of value. The customs officer asks for people not born in Canada or the U.S. We%id out that half the bloody team are foreigners: even the team captain (who, fortunately, left his ~ pet kangaroo at home with his pet pirannha)... ...riding a bus soon becomes a dreary monotone of motor, wheels, rugger songs, rest stops, beer, wine and people running by you down the aisle to get to the john in the back... this changes somewhere in Kentucky with a flat tire and a hour and a half stop to fix it. Kentucky still had snow until Louisville where it abruptly ended...

...saturday the fields we play on are seas of mud and water. it is chilly. our first game is against Tulane. we lose 7-O. in the afternoon we play the university of Florida ‘Gators on a different field, this one right beside Tulane Stadium, site of this year’s Superbowl. we lose 4-3 but feel we should have won as we ran in a try at the end of the game which the ref disallowed saying that the game . was already over.

...with morning the drab slums of Birmingham, Alabama are there to wake us and give most of us our first look at the slum areas of the south to where the whites consign the blacks... two hours from Birmingham bingo goes the second flat of the trip... but only after breakfast in a Gulf station where hurry was not the keyword.forty-four of us to serve and they had only five sets of dishes... our flat fixed, beer replenished and on the road again, mooning out two buses and one passenger car and BINGO... we limp along . to get our third flat fixed somewhere close to the Florida border and again replenish supplies, basking in 80 degrees of cloudless sky. back on the road again we pass a car-with occupants looking up at us. bingo two moons are pressed against the window. the occupants look steadfastly away. soon we come to the Gulf of Mexico and see our first palm tree. visions of the girls soon to be seen dance in our heads. We arrive at Tulane university at 8:00 pm in the dark and the rain. our visions seem a little unreal. Tulane’s pub, the ratzkeller, is soon located and everybody goes to wash the trail dust out of their throats. american draft, everybody agrees, is like sudsy water but it does wash the \ dirt out...

disheartened by this we are glad to hear that Brantford Harlequins (who came down with us) have won both their games and will be playing sunday in the finals against Texas A.M.&A. we are cheered further by the news of a party that night for rugger players with free beer. ten kegs are eliminated. it still tastes like soapy water but who argues when it’s free?... ...sunday Brantford plays Texas. Texas appears strong and quickly scores two tries, converting one. but Brantford ’ hammers back with two field goals. the score is 7-6 for Texas. Brantford scores another field goal which the linesman (a member of the texas team) standing behind the goal called in. But the ref said it wasn’t. the game ends 7-6. ...beaver power may have been thwarted in rugger but there is still until Wednesday to spend in N’Orrleans ..........


...and then there was sunday night with thirteen team members wandering inadvertantly into a negro section after dark and being chased away with thrown empty .beer bottles and the sound of a negro voice “Ah’m gonna kill me a white boy tonight.” speeding our journey to the confining regions of white land... and downtown after this incident feeling like a member of a minority group as the whole world seems suddenly to be negro, losing all interest in a night on the town and going back to the ratzkeller at Tulane for some tranquillizer... and there was monday trying to find ai bank that would change Canadian money and finding out that not only were we members of a minority group but foreign members of a minority as no bank would change our money... and tuesday eating a loaf of bread for breakfast and lunch combined, sitting in a street doorway wishing for a bottle of wine... and Boone’s farm apple wine-the wine that grows on trees and would have been better left there, but then who argues at a dollar a bottle... and Saturday night at the rugger party with one poor drunk ripping off a jacket that he thought belonged to a member of another team but turned out to belong to a team-mate (a much bigger one)... to be compared with the team member who after the Florida game was accosted by that team’s strum half “Hey! Is that all mah coat you all got there under youah coat.” and calmly took it out replying “Oh. Sorry. I didn’t know I had it.” . ..and Saturday night at the party anappolis sit-ups were in order for a member of the texas team... the smallest member of the texas team... and the Tulane security complanined that the room the party was held in would be unusable for two weeks after, all members of rugger teams having amply washed the floors with the sudsy soap water they were dispensing... and then poor Howie who was propositioned by a female impersonator. ...and we musn’t forget the girls of the deep south; there’s something about the sun down there that makes them grow to interesting proportions to say the least. but all the older girls seemed to be off in hiding with their boyfriends and only the teeny boppers were out... which reminds one of the poor guy on the trip who met a chick down there... a phone call came for him one night when he was out. The person who answered, calmly asked “Is this Caroline ?” but unfortunately it was the guy’s girl calling from Waterloo. he’s got some explaining to do when he gets

purpose of the whole town seems simply to be to get good and drunk (which they do admirably) ...and Mardi Gras is a time for paradesover fifty of them in the four days that precede the first day of Lent. on tuesday it was possible to watch parades non-stop from 9 am to-midnight... but to try to move anywhere near a parade was impossible... there was tuesday walking fifty-seven blocks to get down to Bourbon street because of parades, that the public transpo could not circumnavigate... and each parade had its own dubloon that it threw out to the eager hands of the masses who jumped on every one they could find. many’s the team member with aching fingers from reaching down to pick up a dubloon and having his hand mashed into the ground by a size twelve laying claim to the roundtrinket... and every float threw out beads, cheap and plastic, but the crowds still fought like mad to obtain them... and all the little children following the parades “Me Mister. Gimme dubloon. Gimme dubloon.” or “Hey! I want some beads. Here! Gimme some beads.” at the faceless wonders on the floats doling out the trinkets to the masses... ...and the basic requirement in N’Orrleans to be a pig seemed to be six foot four, a forty-eight inch girth and a mean disposition... consider Eric with a broken foot playfully joining in a parade along with some friends when suddenly there are five pigs pushing them back and out under the barricades. to one Eric says “hey. take it easy. I’ve got a broken foot.” but the cop only grinned and said “in a minute you’re going to have a broken head” and started to hit him with his billy (I should say William as they must be senior members of the family of night sticks that London bobbies carry) and every cop carries a gun slung like a cowboy’s and another in his belt...

back... which again reminds one of some poor drunken member of the team trying to pick up a tart in the presence of a mate. what he remembers as young, goodlooking and willing is now said to be fifty, ugly, unwilling and dripping over with syphh... if his girlfriend hears either story he’s going to have some-explaining to do too.. _...and of course, N’Orrleans, for those who haven’t been there in Mardi Gras, is wild to say the least. thousands of people walking and talking, drunk and being friendly, finding an excuse on this last day before the miseries of Lent to have something to be sorry for in the next forty days. so every one is wild and a. great public orgy seems to take place with complete strangers hugging and wildly kissing... and the streets are packed tight. on Bourbon street in the french quarter no car can penetrate and few people can walk. you’re pushed along by the crowd... ... and everywhere signs advertising Boone’s apple and strawberry wines at a dollar a bottle or beer three for a dollar or Hurricanes with free souvenir glasses for two dollars or Mardi Gras wine skins, filled complements of the management. the

An invitation to vandalism? Never have I seen such an invitation to vandalism as in the music lounge, which, I now learn has been closed down (the sound equipment removed). With the door left open, people were free to walk in and out as they pleased during the day. Also, never after I had reserved the music lounge did anyone check to see how I had left the sound equipment before giving back my student -. . card. It is no wonder that the cartridge kept disappearing and the speakers demolished. And so the great answer to the problem is to close it down, take the equipment out, and turn the room into a card-players haven. The pin-ball machines were not

taken out after they had been crowbarred. In order to prevent more loss due to vandalism, why doesn’t the campus center close down all recreational facilities that it provides such as ping-pong, pool, pin-ball and television. This step would eliminate also the necessity for any extra precautions against vandalism which would have been to be taken eventually to protect cc equipment. Such a preventive step has already apparently been taken with regards to the music lounge. Why aren’t other facilities following suit? Keith Wallace sci 1

A letter to give a reviewer olues I’d like to comment on George Kaufman’s review of the second Blues Concert in the Chevron of Feb. 29. Here is a typically choice line : “the Wolf himself came on

with much more liveliness than he usually displays during his club engagements.” The first point I’d like to make is that this excerpt proves that George Kaufman (or

It’s not how you play the game... Sportswriters call it an early spring. The uniforms are washed and hung. The basketballs are stored away. Tuesday’s disheartening loss to Windsor brought to an abrupt end a season which seemed to hold so much promise. This note is not intended as an unnecessary recap of what has been witnessed or written about in the Record. I Rather, I would like to mention a few words about basketball captain Jaan Laaniste who completed his intercollegiate sports career.Throughout my four years at Waterloo, having worked as student trainer, I have had an opportunity to be acquainted with most of the athletes to have donned a Warrior jock strap during that time. I feel I can safely say that I have yet to see any more capable team leader, either on or off the court, than Jaan Laaniste. His scoring records are like a legend if in fact such a thing as a legend exists in intercollegiate sports. But this is not what I, personally, remember about- Jaan. Instead, it is the fact that never once did he hesitate to gi?6 his utmost when he pulled on uniform no. 11. As team leader, and social catalyst, Jaan provided a cohesive bond which made the basketball Warriors one of the more unified teams ever at Waterloo. It is my opinion that the efforts of Jaan have served to establish a winning tradition which hopefully can be maintained and increased in the future.

Just ask any of the faithful thirty-five hundred or so fans who attended and involved themselves in most of the basketball games over the past several seasons. I hope that this involvement continues in, future seasons; perhaps in its fourteenth year Waterloo is coming of age in total athletic participation. Tuesday’s postgame get-together resembled a wake. For all the team it would have been the ultimate success to have themselves as established Canada’s premier intercollegiate basketball team. Like the thirteen other players Tuesday night, Jaan, you may not have been a winner in the game, but because you never ceased to strive for the ultimate, iou have yet to be a loser. I hope that you, Jaah, and Paul Skowron and Bill Hamilton have’ further successful years of basketball after eyour graduation. I know that coach MacRae can look forward to coaching more good basketball here at Waterloo, thanks to the example you have given your team mates. Finally I would like to thank all the athletes and members of the athletic department I have worked withdover the last four years for their friendship. I have enjoyed every ankle-taping moment of it. In closing, may I wish all future Warrior teams a trophy case full of championships. Brian

Parking lot blues I recently committed the almost indictable offence of parking in the empty visitor’s parking lot for which heinous crime I was forced to pay the supreme penalty of twenty-two dollars. I ask you, is this reasonable? Does this penalty serve some great principle of justice? This penalty is the price students have to pay for an administration which has decided to solve its parking problem by lining the pockets of some towing company. Is it not about time that some action is taken to force the administration to seek some just alternative ? Or is this the administration’s conception of justice? David Grad

one of \ his friends) has actually been to a night club and that Howling Wolf was actually playing there. Hip, eh? Another exception to be taken with this phrase is the amount of liveliness exhibited by Howling Wolf. Despite his title, Howling Wolf reminded me of a sick dog. He’d crawl around on the stage and clamber onto his chair and play with himself and apologize jfor his behaviour. And then he’d do it all again. This brings me to a third point: senile men can’t come, much less come with liveliness. Kaufman’s opinion of Freddie King Iis one with which I really disagree. It is professed by: “Freddie King.. .showed he is technically a fine guitarist, but not much more.” I think Mr. Kaufman would be interested to know that those familiar licks King played so well were all original ; familiar because everyone and his dog has ripped him off for them. I even caught The Alvin Lee Run in there. Clapton himself admitted he got most of his runs from Freddie King and, Kaufman, if you don’t admit that Cream was an innovative group then, man, you are fucked. I believe Freddie King to- be a technically proficient, talented, and creative musician. So, Editor, the next time you have someone review a blues concert, make sure they know something about blues. Scott Hughes ’ Eng. Kaufman replies: Yes, I go to clubs sometimes and, gosh, am I hip. I run in a fast crowd. The Wolf isn’t very lively, on any absolute level, but for an old man? As for sedile men not being able to come, I don’t know yet, I’m only hoping your wrong.. I’ll take yout word on it. Yes, Freddie King is a superb musician and technician. Next time there’s a biues concert-or any other kind of concert-please come down and tell us you’d like to review it. It wouldn’t take much more time to write us a review than it did to bitch at us, would it? ’

Big Bad Wolf? This article “Big bad wolf?“, published in a recent issue of your paper would be impossible without Farley Mowat and his philosophical off spring, the Federation of Ontario Naturalists. Even the graphic used is from an Ontario /Naturalist, official publication of F.O.N. We have been reading, listening to and seeing this lingo= since the middle 40’s when Farley Mowat published his first book. Money is the only thing these people are interested in. For their concern in, and the part they played in the mismanagement of worthwhile wildlife for the past fifteen years in Ontario, they do not deserve to use the word Naturalist, and certainly not the word Conservationist. Is it possible that the writers of Big bad wolf?, ,would accept my challenge to a public debate on this wolf issue? If so I am sure the details can be worked out. It seems to me the students of a University should have both sides of this wolf story, and only then decide for themselves whether wildlife today needs the wolf, or the wolf bounty. Frank

The day the VCliberated I had a dream the other night and it wasn’t the most beatiful dream, but I feel that it is worth telling you about. The government of Ontario just changed its name from the P.C.‘s to the V.C.‘s just to play a little joke on our friendly neighbours to the south. As we all know their humour seems to be at a very low point in history, not taking our little jest in the best, they thought it meant we were forcing them to divest. They became very concerned about this miserable lot, thus deciding they didn’t want to give up all they had bought.

Newsline A.P. The P.C.‘s of Ontario have decided that they are going to proclaim themselves V.C.‘s for a day. In light of these circumstances President Nixon along with his bandaid Henry Kissinger announced that they will protect the people from this corrupt, regime, “with force if necessary”.

Newsline C.P.. The RIGHT Honourable,Prime Minister Pierre Elliot Trudeau held a press conference in regard to the critical situation that has arisen in Ontario. He announced that he has decided to ally with the United States defence forces in order that all good people will be protected from this 24-hour acclamation.

Newsline U.P.I. The orders have been given and bombing is scheduled over the newly formed rebellious government. The United Stated has pledged all its old and obsolete bombs, t.hat are taking up space throughout the world, to be used on this small but very economical region in Canada. Six a.m.-the legislature and all other government building on the Queen’s Park have been wiped out along with many civilian buildings to make room for helicopter landing sites; Toronto City Hall was destroyed completely, apparently the American , pilots thought the council chamber was a flying saucer and believed it to be a foreign ally. The bottom eight floors of the Toronto Dominion Tower were obliterated and as a result fell on top of the Royal Tower which also knocked down the buildings adjacent to it. A five star general was later interviewed and stated in his southern drawl. “As you can see, the domino theory works very practically, and as you can see, has helped us tremen-dously to flatten this city.” Maple Leaf Gardens has been repossessed by the state of Canada and has been declared a mausoleum ’ for all Americans musicians playing in Canada.

Newsline C.P. Because of red liquid flowing in the streets pedestrians-are urged not to wear white clothing, to the pubs this evening for their victory celebration (people using the Gardiner Expressway are exempt if a ramp can be found). The streets have been liberated by the V.C. Their previous mistakes have been eliminated-parking tickets, highways, telephone poles, and all other physical forms of transportation which are ugly and unhealthy. ln fact there are no cars running and all fuel dumps have been carefully destroyed, movement within the city has been limited to crawling. In other centres throughout Ontario the local representatives of the V.C. along with the militant wing the PROVOS OR more popularily known as the O.P.P. have sti,lI much control but are expected to give up by four o’clock when they discover the computer which distributes the payroll . cheques has been blown up. Bill Davis, leader of the V.C.‘s who claims “to be doing things for people” has vowed in keeping with V.C. day he will allow the populous to drink to the hour of two o’clock. Most Ontarion’s would drink this up if it were a Thursday, Friday, or Saturday but being Monday evening the sidewalks will fold by eleven in the usual tradition, but for the. regulars they will be so drunk by then that the flicking of the 30

lights and the polite but obtrusive shout “Drink up and get out”, will unnoticably be delayed by one hour. These regular contributors to the liquor tax, will be surprised when they are late for their job in the morning and possibly face a three day suspension which will gladly be accepted as a three day holiday.

Dateline around the revolutionary province Newsline C.P.-Sudbury On V.C. day someone stole the big nickel. It was reported missing at 8 a.m. The blame is being placed on the local hippie community because at 12 noon the biggest garbage bag ever, was found in its place and the whole community has turned on. The vibrations were so powerful that the obsolete bombs were turned into huge fiery light that outdid the northern lights, which are lodging a complaint to the United Nations Security Council. A taping was made of the description by the local citizenry and is going to be published and offered as a nobel prize potential. St. Catharines The people were in tears, because all the bridges “going across the river” were destroyed for obvious security reasons. Now it will be up to the people of this community and surrounding communities to create their own nostalgia. By the way, bars in unfriendly New York State are open until 3 a.m. If you must have a drink after the extended hour you ean always go for an u_ntimely swim. Niagara Falls The falls have been completely destroyed and now the Chambre of Commerce has decided to change the name of the famed falls to Niagara Rapids. This famous river will still be considered a wonder of the world since the Niagara River will have the longest rapids in the world and now souvenir shops won’t be confined to one spot but they will be expanded to the full length of the rapids which will be great for expanding tourism. Kingston The Engineers at Queens decided that the old prison wasn’t secure enough in design, and certainly wasn’t a safe place to keep prisoners so they decided that they will simply let them out. Ottawa Nothing really exciting happened. Pierre Trudeau simply declared the War Measures Act, and all other Canadians grunted with approval except the French Canadians, who are too busy looking for jobs and a good time. Kitchener-Waterloo The german community, being interested in their money, scurried to the University of Waterloo, where they took cover in Canada’s 20th-century fortress for overpriveleged and mentally distorted people. The mennonite -people, not bowing to the technocratic age of electricity and so on, missed the celebration completely. Being somewhat upset because the school bus didn’t CO~YIZ to pick up their children they gathered all-their folk together and built a school in time for afternoon class. Thunder Bay The, people of that community thought all the commotion was to celebrate the naming of the city. Windsor The people of that community along with the of Oshawa worked triple time for the manufacturers in order to prepar for the order on new car parts that had been damaged the celebration. General Motors was so happy the passing events that they decided to split stock.

Ontario As this massadre continues and the whole world IS \ in shock at this aggressive move made by the United States of America in defence of the populous of Ontario, world leaders are making their views known to all the people throughout the disinterested world.

.Dateline international U.P.I. Vatican The pope made his prayer for peace but ended off his prayer in a different tone than usual as he said, “I pray to God we have enough insurance to cover our schools and churches.” U.P.I. PARIS George Pompidou head statesman of France said, “Indeed it isa sad thing to have happen, but it is not very surprising, as, most of us know it is a very W.A.S.P. tradition. U.P.I. Buckingham Palace The Queen stated in a sad tone, “My poor subjects. I thought they were more civil than that.” It was rumoured that she turned around discreetly and whispered into Prince Philip’s ear, “Now where am I going to get my youngest prince a free beaver coat.” > U.P.I.

U.P.I. Saigon In the mid-afternoon, rush hour, in the utopia state of Vietnam which is the most democratic nation of the world. In an interview with the newly elected president, who would like to stay anonymous, he stated that although his people were, in fact, one of the most peaceful people around and hewers of bamboo, there was nothing that he could do to influence the Americans since they had fulfilled their armament treaties against other Eastern powers. After interviewing the famous unknown president the heaviest reaction that could be recorded from several citizens was, “What can I do about it? We mustn’t do anything that would upset our trade relations with one of the most powerful nations in the world;“-“What do those do to help us”-“ Ontario, where is that?” Tomorrow morning at 8 am. President Nixon and Pierre Trudeau will have a press conference. The president and prime minister will each giv.e the statistics for their respective sides and both have agreed that if there is any discrepency in the statistical facts, they will send a committee of their own selection for review. If, however, the committees cannot come to any sort of agreement the two leaders of the state will each allow their wives to settle the dispute with a no biased vote. However, if the decision does not change, then it must necessitate that this whole question be settled over an arm wrestle between the two chiefs of state, who. have been given complimentary memberships to Vic Tanny’s by the Ambassador of the Soviet Union.

A late MEMO: The leader of the P.C.‘s William Davis is believed to be filling out his WINTER WORKS PROJECT application so that all the damage will be repaireo and compensation will be given to all families who lost the bread winner in their family. Mr. Davis was asked whether he thought the celebration was a sucess? - “Well son, its this way-we solved our housing and unemployment problem.” From the Room, Hotel. From

The chevron is becoming a haven of sorts for retired federation presidents...Larry Burke has been here on and off all year and now Rick Page spent the waning moments of his reign out of the rain-in . our offices Wednesday night summing up the hockey season. Terry, you’re welcome anytime, no need to wait till you retire...lt seems to have become something of a minor tradition at that other campus newspaper to make some sort of sideways comment about the chevron each week in the column column. While it is beneath the dignity of this institution to reply in kind, we realize it is natural for a tightly-controlled house organ to be jealous of a free newspaper. We understand, Dieter, we really do....Speaking of understanding, does anyone understand how the administration can get away with building two new administration buildings on this campus and labeling one of them a “student services building ?” There will be huge new carpeted lounges and a brand new president’s office and all that good stuff on the top three floors. And what do you think you would find in the basement of a student services building? Offices for the federation, radio Waterloo and the chevron? Wrong. Parking spaces for 36 cars so the administrators won’t have to stretch their legs too much walking to work from a parking lot. Under what ridiculous definition of student services can this building be justified as it is now planned? If you know, send in your answer in 25 words or more or less and the winner will receive an all-expense-paid trip, drug of your choice....in sports this week: ron smith, dennis mcgann, george neeland, john cushing, peter hopkins, stu koch, len greener and rick page; on this wet and windy nite, with soggy socks and sore fingers from typing all the lousy copy that came in hand-written, the entertainment freaks were: heather Webster, whose mere existence makes it all worthwhile,‘rick page, dave ingham, who writes nicely but we’d rather see it typed, crazy george kaufman and his chocshakes, lionel koffler twice, busy busy dave cubberley, who somehow still has time for most everything down here and jan stoody, who has returned is getting into it and enjoying it, again; features: dave and george and brute; news: krista tomory, nigel burnett, deanna kaufman, randy hannigan, margo slykhuis, maria of the smile, george kaufman, bill Sheldon, al lukachko, brute murphy, boris the mad russian, tasso lakas, len greener, wes darou, and joan we really miss you.
