Cotmcil raps co-op On monday night, the federation council rubber-stamped an executive motion that will change the entire set-up in the record co-op and in the long run may mean its death. At least that is the hope of vice-president Dave Robertson who savs that then the federation could “set up a real co-op”. At present the record co-op is being managed by two people, John Jongerius and Dennis Lunow. Only Jongerius is receiving an honorarium for his work, while the rest of the staff are paid one album for three hours of work. Since the federation does not want to continue the exploitation of the workers they are going to force, as of january, the payment of 2 dollars per hour for workers and $40 a week salaries for Jongerius and Lunow . None of the workers presently receiving the “slave wage” complained of his plight and as said one of the underprivileged, “if 1 wanted to receive $2 an hour I would be scooping icecream. I work at the record co-op because I wanted the album and I was quite happy with the situation as it was.” Obviously no one involved was suffering from the low pay because everyone there was a volunteer. Jongerius said he had so many people wanting to work for the one album that he had a waiting list for the positions. The new system will limit the number of workers to ten, giving the managers the problem of who to keep and who to cut. Jongerius says the problem will be dealt with on a “longest there gets first choice” basis. As a result of the increase in labour costs, the price of records is expected to rise as of January. The federation also insisted that the students be made aware of the cost price and the exact mark-up of the re_cord co-op compared to the retail stores in town. Presumably they thought this was not already being done. However, if one of their members had ventured into the room to investigate for himself they would have found this exact information in big black letters on the wall. The federation also decided to change the name of the co-op to something that will not delude the students into thinking that the organization is actually that of a co-op. They suggested store or ‘shop’ would be much more appropria te considering the situation. All of these actions were a result of the losses suffered in the last month in the record ‘shop’. Due to massive rip-offs by either-a > someone with a master key for the downstairs rooms, b) outsiders ripping off records while the place was open, c) rip-off from within the ranks of workers, or d) any combination of the above-the record ‘shop’ lost approximately $800 last month. Within the last two weeks, the locks were changed and students have been forced to remove their

coats before entering the ‘shop’. This leaves only number 3 as the remaining place for the rip-off. However, the federation did not wait to see if their corrective measures were going to have any effect on the problem. Concern arose over the amount of federation money tied up in the stock; it had reached an all-time high of $28,000. This resulted in nearly total depletion of the federation funds and the order that the stock must be reduced to a level acceptable to the federation. Until that time, the stock is frozen at its present level. Jongerius said that anything under $15,000 would be “fucking ridiculous because we handle at least five thousand a week and are expected to order records only every two weeks”. Lunow expressed concern over the freeze on buying because, “all these new releases come out just before Christmas. It’s a big market we are going to be missing. ” Neither Jongerius nor Lunow were present at the executive or council meetings. They did go to the executive meeting but when quorum had not been reached after half an hour of waiting, they left. They were assured by president Shane Roberts that nothing serious would happen and that there was no need for either of them to attend the council meeting. Both wish they had. -Susan johnson

Senate S ffe -losses On monday night, the first of UofW’s nine student senators discovered that they were token negroes at the back of a bus full of the university’s elite. Graduate student Steve Gregory resigned from the U of W senate, the academic governing body. The monday senate meeting was in actuality the first overtime period of the november 16 senate meeting, to finish passing the ten bylaws of- the U of W Act. It followed the game plan for the early part, most of the time taken up with squabbling over the inevitable loopholes in the bylaws.

&& But when referee-chairmanpresident Burt Matthews dropped the puck at 9 :45 pm for bylaw 10, Steve Gregory got the face-off and took a slapshot at the net containing bylaw 10, which dealt with the establishment of constitutions for the university faculties. According to the bylaw, a new constitution must first be approved by two-thirds of the members of. the faculty members concerned, and then by senate. This regulation would be likely to pose at least one immediate problem. Environmental studies is in the process of having a new constitution approved by its faculty council. Such approval would not necessarily represent 66 per cent of the total faculty. Gregory made the point that there was no way students could express disapproval, but rather, than suggesting they should ratify the constitution, he said that if twothirds of them disapproved-by petition or otherwise it should not be passed by senate. Now, consider what this means: two out of every three students of a faculty, whether off-term or not must state that they strongly object to the new constitution. Considering the 10 to 20 per cent turnouts for presidential elections, referendums, etc, this is a huge number of the people most effected by the constitution who must display their disapproval of it. In fact it is unlikely that anyone could even get together that many students to block a constitution, no matter how distasteful it was to them. However, the senior senators saw this amendment as an attack on their comfortable oligarchy by upitty student niggers, and gathered together a power play to crush it. Several players changed uniforms at this point; Prof. John

Wilson of political- science stated that this amendment to the bylaw was entirely reasonable, saying “If two-thirds of the students concerned demonstrate that. they are against a given constitution, must be something there disastrously wrong with the way it was drafted, and it is our responsibility to look into the Math undergrad senator matter.” Bruce McKay evened it off in defecting to the other bench by saying,“‘Before I was elected, I’d never even heard of all this. I think the average student is too ignorant of these things, and they’re not really interested anyway.” What are you supposed to be doing on the senate, Bruce? The puck was intercepted by Prof. Elliot Avedon of human kinetics who said, “If students can control faculty constitutions, then faculty should be able to control student’s constitutions,” (whatever that means). This was ruled as an offside pass by referee Matthews. Math Prof. Greg Bennett got the face-off near the blueline, and said that such an amendment would limit the power of the senate in this area, and thus was out of order. However it was pointed out that the required twothirds faculty vote fell within this category also, so he was given a two-minute high-sticking penalty by referee Matthews. ‘(i.e. he lost credibility among his peers). While the profs were shorthanded, environmental studies undergrad senator John O’Grady poked holes in the opponents’ logic, but failed to score. The profs then decided to throw up flack and a smoke screen at the same time. Prof George Soulis of engineering commented, “This would be an opportunity for dissident faculty members to manipulate students into rejecting a constitution for

was student

their own purposes. ” Gregory, who was forechecking near his own blueline, blocked this by asking if faculty have that much control over the thoughts of the masses. Finally, just before the end of the final period of play, Dean Bill Pearson of science took a hard slapshot on net from the point; he claimed that, “If students demanded parity on faculty councils, they could deadlock the constitution by vetoing it.” Credit us with more responsibility than that, Dean. The siren sounded to end the game, and the amendment was put to a vote. Less than a dozen for it. Then referee Matthe’ws gave a signal, and the faculty members took their earplugs out, and on the command “Those opposed to the amendment”, raised their hands. Amendment defeated, final score, elite-l, niggers-zip. This brought Steve Gregory to the realization that he was a nigger in the senate, and that no matter how valid his arguments were, they wouldn’t be listened to. If prof Watts had proposed the same amendment, it would probably have passed unanimously. Gregory handed his resignation to the senate secretary immediately after the meeting, having stated privately before the meeting, “If they defeat this amendment, there is no reason for me to continue on in a puppet fashion; I’d rather resign and have done with it.” Gregory was the second student senator to resign, K Venkatamaiah having resigned earlier for personal reasons. That left only one instead of three grad students on the senate. It should be pointed out that there were faculty members and x alumni who supported the students’ amendment, and there were students who voted against it (McKay). And later, the game was invalidated because a technicality further on forced senate to send the entire bylaw back to the executive committee. But the score still stands: elite-l, niggers-0. -dave

Nigger kept out Stokley Carmichael, who was to have appeared on campus yesterday, was barred from entering Canada tuesday by the immigration department. One of the original founders of the Black Panther party in the U.S., Carmichael was scheduled to appear on a taping at the University of Toronto, as well as here at Waterloo. He has entered this country at least five times @eviously without incident. When he inquired about the incident, the producer of the Under Attack program was told that he should check with the immigration department before inviting “controversial” persons into Canada. Needless to say, the word “controversial” has, and can have, no legal definition and leaves everything at the dubious mercy of the department. The show has already this year brought across the notorious boundary the rightwing leaders of the Ku Klux Klan and Minutemen and a selfadmitted prostitute. The supposed “reason’ for refusing Carmichael entry was his 1966 conviction for “inciting a riot” in Selma, Alabama, when he was chairman of SNCC. Canadian immigration department justice is beginning to be as notorious as Selma justice.

Parity fights spread REGINA(CUP)-All is quiet on the University of Saskatchewan Regina campus now, as students return to their books, and the struggle for a democratically-run university returns to the committees. A week of student occupations ended november 22 when administration principal John Archer addressed a general meeting of 800 students. He agreed to support a review of the nature and level of student participation on the university’s decision-making bodies. Students had occupied two administration offices to press a demand for parity on governing committees, L A negotiating committee selected by the qtudents at the meeting which voted to end the strike reported to less than 300 students at a meeting last wednesday. Archer’s co-operation, they said, would be useful in stifling opposition to student parity from conservative f acuity members. A motion was passed calling for the creation of a three-party committee to consist of students, faculty and the public to present demands to the government regarding changes in the university act. The public representatives acceptable to the students were one member of the Small Businessmen’s Assiciation, one laborer and one farmer from the Wheat Pool. Although the more radical National Farmers Union backed the students during the occupations, they were not chosen to supply the farm representative. The NFU, which called for a democratic university to serve the needs of the Saskatchewan people, is not acceptable to the administration. Steering committee members say that, if necessary,‘the struggle will be moved out of committees and into th,e hands of Students next semester. However, declining attendance at the general meetings indicates flagging student enthusiasm for the issue. Meanwhile, parity struggles are also shaping up at two other Canadian campuses-the University of British Columbia in Vancouver and McMaster University in Hamilton. At UBC, students will speak to a special faculty meeting Wednesday about student representation at all faculty levels. The motion to be presented does not call for parity. On november 23, 150 students, tired of two years ,of ‘proper channels’ negotiations, invaded a faculty meeting. to press for representation. The student meeting was quickly called off. Students are however involved in a heated discussion of the possibilities for equal rep’resintation. Student union treasurer David Dick urged students to dissociate power and parity. “The faculty won’t accept parity,” he

said. “Let’s not cut our throats.” A general meeting november 30 which elected the six representatives to speak to faculty, voted overwhelmingly to have the reps push for parity. In the fervor of the moment, motions were also passed to call for inclusion of the university’s staff in the governing structures, and for equal representation of men and women on all levels of decision-making bodies. At Mat, the student council has launched a concerted move for equal representation with faculty on all departmental committees. Council has established a committee to help “spur” students to seek council and to urge faculties’ student organizations to press for representation. The committee is to co-ordinate the various student groups in a united attack on the present departmental committee system.

ST. JOHN’S (CUP)-The administration of Memorial University completed its capitulation to students last thursday when the board of regents unatimously ratified a memorandum of agreement giving students total victory in the recent dispute over collection of student union fees. The memorandum was hammered out ‘at a meeting of student and administration negotiators november 23, bringing an end to the II-day student occupation of Memorial’s administration building. It also averted a general strike of students planned for november 24. It was clarified and finalized for presentation to the board for ratification. The student body was asked to ratify the agreement at a general meeting on monday . The agreement compels the regents to resume the collection of compulsory student union fees. Their november 9 decision to discontinue collection on behalf of

the union sparked the lengthy occupation. Their reasons for discontinuation were alleged mismanagement by student council and the immorality of compulsory student fees. Students, on the other hand, claimed the decision was interference ih their affairs and decanded the right to decide for themselves what type of union they will have. After the occupation began november 14, after a five-day study break, university president Lord Stephen Taylor adamantly claimed he would not talk to the students until they vacated the building. Students refused and both sides dug in, prepared for a long fight. Three days later, 91 per cent of students voting in a referendum supported the principle of the occupation. The following week, residence students voted overwhelmingly in favor of a two-day strike in sympathy with the occupiers. A general meeting, attended by 4,000 students, gave unanimous support for a strike the next day. It wa: against this background of student fervor that Taylor called a meeting of students and administrators the day before the planned strike, and the regents agreed to resume collection of the fees. A referendum to be held next term will allow students to decide for themselves whether they want a compulsory union. In light of admitted mismanagement in the current union structure, discussion will be held early in the semester to s,ound out proposals for a reorganized union. This question is also likely to be decided by referendum. The regents have also agreed no reprisals will be taken against students involved in the occupation, and an appeals committee was set up at last thursday’s meeting. This body of one faculty member, a grad student, a senate appointee and a chairman appointed by them will hear alleged cases of reprisal. The senate will discuss academic amnesty, and it is expected that occupiers will have little difficulty getting deferred exams and term papers. One new agreement was reached by the negotiators-application of the Rand formula on union membership. If the referendum decides in favor df compulsory fees, students will have the option of discontinuing their membership in the union, but will have to pay the dues regardless.

Our man m

’ court “It infuriates me that a man would be so selfish as to marry and bind a woman with his name when all he can offer her is the opportunity to say she is married to a jailbird.” These are the words of a local judge. He added: “Any person who thinks it is a blessing to give a girl his name and record and nothing more should, perhaps, be given about ten years, so that the girl will be spared.” In a typically aristocratic gesture, J.R.H. Kirkpatrick said thursday, november 23 that he was disgusted with people who play on the sympathy of the court, by planning to marry while in penitentiary. This pronouncement was made just before he sentenced Ernest Hamel of Kitchener to four months in jail, for theft. It is difficult to find a place to begin to write about a man so deeply involved in the community and individual’s lives, who is so obviously incompetent. This remark isn’t based on one incident alone. Recently, Kirkpatrick sentenced a fifty-year-old man with a drinking problem, to ten months in jail. He said that he originally had intended a sentence of only six months but thought it would be better to keep him out of the winter cold. This study in arrogance and cynicism is well matched by others as any observer of the local courts will attest. What is so striking about Kirkpatrick’sc remarks apart from their

reactionism and ignorance is how they relate to the social position from which they were made. Here is the image of the upper class gentleman who has sat on the bench for over twenty years passing down his irrefutable wisdom to the masses, cut off from those he judges, by position and interests. What exists is such a blatant illustration oft the inequity and inequality in the judicial system as to make further comment almost unnecessary. The paternalism and lack of objectivity of such remarks is staggering. The winners clearly rule the losers and do so according to their own frame of reference and contact with reality-or lack of it. What is frightening about the situation lies in the fact that the man is pretty much secure in his ‘position’, job and pension. He can retire himself or be impeached in Commons. Beyond this there is little way that he will leave the bench. The former happens at will and the latter, typically, rarely (only once). But one will be told that there is recourse. Pressure from the justice department is possible; but it is unlikely that the people being judged in a given situation will have much they can say to the justice department. Irresponsible or not, Kirkpatrick and his colleagues have been made secure by the bureaucracy they support and keep alive. And institutionalized arrogance is frightening. -dudley

Cardboard congregation Card board diamonds and triangles congregated in the campus centre great hall last thursday and with the able assistance from several dome society members, they managed to assemble themselves into a fiveeighth, three-frequency ‘alternate geodesic dome. Amazing ! did this strange WhY phenomenon occur, especially. in such a fine, upstanding establishment we all know and love? A spokesman for the diamonds commented “Mother Cosmo sent us. She told us to take a few triangles and show those DNA determinees what is and what can be.‘? The dome society, on the other hand, made use of this cosmic event to generate interest and curiosity about geodesic domes. Judging from the number of people who fell prey to this manipulation, Joe Michno, the society’s treasurer, felt confident enough to ask .“Who is Mother Cosmo”.

A )plague of \

tow-

trucks During the last few months a of tow-trucks have plague descended on our fair campus. Some rumor that they were sent by God; others say president Matthews, still others say it is the work of none other than security chief Al l%omenco. Many students have been surprised to find the parking gates down when they arrive for their evening classes. Further surprises awaited those who had their cars towed away and found that they had to travel to Preston to retrieve their <vehicle, not to mention having to sign a form which releases Active Towing from legal responsibility for any damages incurred; before you see your car ! ! Should you happen to arrive after five o’clock there is an extra three dollar payment to have the pound opened to retrieve your car, on top of twelve dollars for the towing charge (a fact not advertized by A/T). All of this goes back to the basic premise which the university espouses that “the campus i is essentially pedestrian,” and the traffic regulations are an attempt to embody this guideline. At present all traffic regulations and amendments to them, come from the president’s advisory committee on traffic and parking-l student, 1 grad, 1 staff, 1 faculty, and Sid Turner from Security. Recommendations from this committee usually go directly + to Bruce Gellatly, head of finance but for reasons and operations, unknown to members of the committee they are instead seen by Al Romenco first. This point of contention has never been resolved as Romenco has never appeared before the committee to explain his rationale. The- final destination of the recommendations is the desk of Burt Matthews. If one did not believe in the democratic process, one might almost suspect that three men make all the decisions pertaining to traffic and -parking. Last spring; the committee decided that the parking gates would be left up after six o’clock on evenings, and all weekday weekend for the duration of the summer term. Prior to this decision, the gates were being left down 24 hours a day, in a unilateral decision made by persons unknown. For the fall, the committee wished the hours for the gates to be left up to coincide with the parking lot assignment times, which would coincide, in turn, with the summer regulations. Sid Turner, traffic supervisor at security, said that decision would not be considered appropriate by the higher authorities, and the matter was deferred until such time as Romenco and Gellatly could speak to the committee on the pros and cons of leaving the gates up for those times. To this date, neither has appeared before’ the committee, no meetings were held in September @id Turner was on holidays), and the gates went down; and stayed there. Then the tow trucks came.

At the advisory committee meetings, it was argued that giving tickets would be a far easier means of chastising students improperly parked, who got into lots without paying, or otherwise committed an infraction of the laws. There exist such ticketing regulations. This would be far less time-consuming, would also generate income for the university, be cheaper for the students, and less of an inconve+ence to them. Turner, however, said there was no means for collecting the fines and the system wouldn’t work. End of discussion. The actions of the Active Towing Co. are a matter of contention on their own. Apparently they have been instructed by security that, if caught in the act of lifting a vehicle, they are to release it to its owner only if given five dollars on the spot. One student in particular, who didn’t have that amount with her (how many students do?) was forced to give her engagement ring to the towman “as colateral” (although to date three weeks past, she still has not recovered it). Another student rushed out of the Campus Centre as his car was being hoisted up. When he could not produce the five dollars, his car was whipped away. . We are told- that. the service entrances must be kept clear in case of emergency. Makes sense. However when a car sat longer than fifteen minutes a few weeks ago while someone assisted a lame man to the Arts Theatre service entrance, this was not considered an emergency. Parking regulation state, “the university will make copies of the regulations available to all member of the community and advertise any changes in the regulations. ’ ’ In * the Married Students Residence, flyers were dropped in the hallways. Students not around to pick one up or who didn’t see them -at all were not aware that they were required to change their windshield decals in September. ‘So, although they’d all paid for a parking spot as part of their residence fees, some had to pay extra for being “illegally parked”, and for the subsequent towing. -However, Mr. Pigden, their. director sees no problem in communication. Appeals for any parking -violation fine can be made to the Parking Appeals Board, security department. Voting members are one student, one graduate, head of Central Stores, Al Lawrence, plus two faculty members. This, board meets “in camera” about once a month to decide of the validity of the appeals. Appeals must be made by writing only, and several appellants claim their statements have been misconstrued by the review board. When one man made a request to Sid Turner (who presides over the board meetings) to re-appeal his case, he was refused because it was undesirable to set such a precedent, although no rule denies the possibility of such. The fact remains that security, through Sid Turner, maintains a strangle-hold on both the appeals board and the president’s advisory committee. Outside of active protest there is no method available to the mass of students to effectively change parking policy on this campus (the regulations’ committee is ‘advisory’ only, and a student cannot make direct representation to the -Appeals There is a small Board>. resistance movement on campus, whose gate-crashing tactics have provided a source of irritation for security, and a source of great personal satisfaction for themselves and witnesses. Whether their actions will bring about any reforms in parking policy and

enforcement is a matter of conjecture, The final decision on any matter pertaining to parking policy rests with none other than president Matthews, according to Part I, Section 15, of the Traffic and Parking Regulations : “The Traffic and Parking Regulations for the University of Waterloo shall be subject to ammendment by the President as required from time to time.” -ger,ry

Equal rights - cflee? Whether it is because of a breakdown in communications between the univeristy president’s office and the federation or whether no communication was attempted; the result is that as yet no students have been appointed to the advisory committee on equal. rights for women and men. University president _ Burt Matthews said he would be contacting the new federation president after the election. But president Shane federation Roberts says that he has not been contacted, and does not know of any action being taken by any one else in the federation to appoint students to the committee. The students, one undergraduate and one graduate, would join three faculty members and two staff members, on the committee which was set up by Matthews to insexual vestigate possible inequities in employment and promotion for faculty, staff and students. The committee has met regularly since October. It began by considering four areas for investigation including the promotion of men and women; hiring firing and admission, promotion; pay; and fringe benefits. Specific areas for investigation are the proportion of female and male students in various departments. The committee will look at the proportion of

female faculty members when classified by department, rank and full-time and part-time status. On the staff level the committee is planning to investigate the proportion of female and male staff classified by department, rank and temporary or permanent status. One question should be especially _ interesting to secretaries who already know the answer-are there any ranks which are disporportionately filled by one sex only? The committee will be using information which is available from official sources like systems analysis, personnel and the registrar, but is also interested in receiving information from individuals; both of a statistical nature of studies that may have been carried out, and also confidential reports of individual cases. The committee may be contacted through its chairman, Margrit Eichler, sociology.

Dare kids Party The Federation of Students has allotted $200.60 for a Christmas party for the children of the striking Dare workers, on strike since last may. Even with the successful boycott of Dare products and the continuous threat of lawsuits, the management has not seen the need to seriously negotiate with the workers. Needless to say, this has had a devastating effect on those workers who are holding out on the strike. Their financial positions are going to make their Christm-ases difficult on the children and their own morales. The money donated by the federation is to-cover all expenses of the party such as a magic act, food and drinks, and perhaps small presents for the children. It is estimated that there will be between sixty and seventy children involved. The party is on december 23rd at the Dare union hall on Lodge street Waterloo. Any person interested in helping out with this project should contact the federation office.

Dr. Charles Hampden-Turner, “humanistic-economist-author”, lectured twice this week to small audiences on the topic

guestof poverty.

Poverty

lecture

Poor all round Dr. Charles Hampden-Turner, humanistic psychologisteconomist author, has come to Waterloo. In two open lectures on poverty, sponsored by manenvironment studies this week“Empowerment of the Poor” and “Crucifixion Dilemma : How we Dismember the Poor” on monday and tuesday, Hampden-Turner revealed his thoughts and theories on oppression within the American milieu. _His armchair activistintellectual view of the American scene, tempered by British origins and affiliations with numerous institutions in the immediate south, has been synthesized into a qualitative model of psycho-social development. This model’s skeletal structure is a closed cycle of developmental principles. Although phrased in the terms of integrative psychology, the theory has equivalent forms for many sociological fields. A holistic model by virtue of the interpenetration of the developmental principles, it describes pathological states in terms of distortion of the principles into inflated or deteriorated modes. Such a unitary theory, capable of drawing together many seemingly disparate social phenomena and not amenable to the mathematics of current sociology, appears to be a positive step in our understanding. Referring to his work with blacks and the poor in the U.S., the speaker showed how the cycle of poverty among these people is perpetuated by the ruling class and the enculturation process. The blacks are typically attacked on the principle of competence, for instance the suggestion that blacks are genetically inferior. Though permitted some kinds of competence, such as the music whichderives from their racial heritage, they are denied the opportunity to develop and express many other competencies. Hampden-Turner suggested that one way to’counter this exploitation is to emphasize their common racial background and to utilize their existing competenciesas a means of expanding them and attaining integration as a group within the whole. Hampden-Turner’s model has much to commend it, but several aspects of his presentation raised several questions. The support of the principle of racial identity as a primary integrative mechanism raises the spectre of racism as a means of dealing with one’s fellow men. And in the face of the overwhelming capitalist ethic that maintains the divisions of rich and poor, how effective are social industry programs and community development corporations going to be? -norm

I don’t really have an answer to that. I don’t want to go down in the good old Chevron with nothing to say. Christmas is a time to get out of this place. Oh, I can’t even think. I haven’t been to bed since two nights ago. It’s a time for catching up on all this sleep. No, that’s not what I want. Let’s start again. Christmas is a time to forget the pressures of university. My brain is killing me. I wish you would have asked me one of those opinion questions instead. Christmas doesn’t really mean anything to me

Diane O’Gorman French 4

A mon avis, Noel est la saison des Fetes. C’est le temps de celebrer, de recevoir et de donner des cadeaux, de se reposer apres deux semaines d’examens finales. N’oubliez pas le bon vin qu’on recoit chez nos amis qu’on a pas au depuis longtemps. Apres le vin et la bonne nourriture de Noel, on se repos et on se prepare a faire face au prochain trimestre!

I can’t think of anything. I’ve got to think up a good one. It’s a time for sharing happiness and all sorts of things like that. Come on, help me think up a good answer. It’s just a time for sharing happiness and generally feeling good. People should have Christmas all the time. It should happen all year round.

Christmas? I don’t have time for such nonsense. You should be in class young man, not asking people impertinent questions. Christmas is just like any other day and the sooner more of you people realize it, the better....Ba h! Hum bug!

Marni Wright Env Stud 1 \ It’s the one time in the year when you can be legitimately happy or you’re supposed to ‘be happy because society says you’re supposed to be happy and it might sound like I hate Christmas but I don’t. Christmas is what you make it. I like giving presents so I like the reaction on people’s faces when they get the gift I give them. I don’t mind receiving them, I like receiving them, but I don’t get them too often so I like it when I give to somebody else.

The student

~Y:ZZFJ~~~

“Good, now,-when you cut a cake with a crust at the bottom use this knife; when it’s soft use this one. We try to get twelve pieces from each cake so cut them about this size.” He slices quickly into the cake twice, balances a perfectly cut piece on the broad edge of the knife, slips it upright onto a dessert plate, folds a small white napkin intoa triangle, puts it on the plaie and puts a fork on the napkin. The whole procedure -takes less than thirty seconds. “You try”, he demands. I slide open the door, try to match the name he’s just given me with the cake he wants, poise the knife, pull the cake and its tray to the edge of the shelf and dv‘op the whole thing on the floor face down. A stream of German profanity leaves his lips, and I get ready to take the bright green apron off my dirndl uniform. All is forgiven in a few minutes. He thinks I’ll catch on, too. He really is very nice. Wolfgang, cook and part-owner with Kurt, emerges from the kitchen to tell me that the soup of the day (he has just decided) will be cream of asparagus. I’m to write the order on a piece of paper, put it in front of him on the kitchen table tell him which table ordered it, give the number of people at the table and pick the order up when he rings the bell. Tea will be prepared in the kitchen anb I’m to make the salad from a huge vat of lettuce, radishes, slivered carrots, and celery. Wooden salad bowls when the salad comes with certain entrees, china bowls with all the others. I know I’ll be sorry if I ask why. I learn quickly that Wolfgang is extremely temperamental if things are not clean and done pricisely. I fail to understand why a clean crisp white linen table-cloth must be changed when one nickel-sized spot appears. Simple-it looks sloppy. I make up my mind to go exactly by

-

wa-itress: your underpaid maid Smile. Say something pleasant about the weather or the election. Agree, agree, smile some more. The restaurant is a little too upper-middle class to simply put a menu in front of them. Kurt gives me a nod of approval as I bring their long-stemmed glasses back to the kitchen to fill with ice untouched by human hands. There are two of them so it’s four specially-baked rolls, a dish of just-that-morning sliced butter, an order pad and another smile. “Would you like something from the bar sir?” Two Oktoberfests, uncapped, two more long stemmed glasses on a round tray. “Yes sir, would you like to order now?” It just isn’t possible that there are so many different pronunciations for Quiche Lorraine. Waitressing: often includes mirror cleaning, heating milk bottles, rug sweeping, minor cookery, wine corking, dishwashing, floor washing, bug-killing and coffee grinding. There are hundreds of girls doing it, full and part time all over the city-students, mot hers, grandmothers even. Any restaurant will hire you if you’ve had experience; most will if you seem to have the potential. Smile ai the owner, tell him how much you like meeting people. You’ll get minimum wages ($1.65 per hour) plus tips. If you’ve never been one of these special people before, be prepared to be frustrated and confused for at least your first week. “What the hell are you doing?” “But you told me to cut the bread and grind the coffee and...” “Sure, sure, I know but there are people out there. Get moving!” How in the name of heaven am I supposed to know there are people out there if I’m in the kitchen? This is a German Cafe in the true European tradition. Two knives, two forks, water glass turned down, flowers in a painted vase, folded red paper napkins that almost look like linen, in the middle of the place setting-“Everything must be placed just so. Here, I show you.” With fury that could only be Germ&, Kurt flies from table to table adjusting, making changes, laying the napery professionally. The look of each table changes and suddenly I feel incredibly awkward. It couldn’t be that hard; I’ll catch on. Kurt looks at me expectantly and I start over. Knives and forks first-big bunches clasped in each hand, side plates next, check the sugar bowls, adjust vase, salt and pepper, primrj napkins. Then back out to the kitchen, pick up a tray of glasses. The tray sways precariously; Kurt whisks it away confidently with one hand and puts it on a table. Check the clock. I’ve been here since 11. They,open at noon, I have ten mitiutes left. All those people coming through the door soon now. Oh lord! What do I do if I spill something on somebody’s only clean business suit. “Come here. I show you how to cut the cakes.” I’ve been, trying to avoid even looking at the huge refrigerated glass case with shelves and shelves of ‘baked on the pre’mises’ masterpieces. I don’t know what even one of them is called. “Black Forest, Royale Tangerine Special, Plum Cake, Apple Cake, Banana Cake with marzipan icing, Cheesecake, Hazelnut, Mecca, Gateau St. Honore’e, Strawberry,

the book. I’ve been told that if something is not on the menu, they do not have it. Half-way through the lunch hour a business-suited man enters, sits down, pushes my carefully placed setting out of his way, opens a newspaper and orders a toasted ham and egg sandwich. “I’m sorry sir. We do not have that.” The man rises ominously, goes to the kitchen, and says something shortly in German. Kurt calls me. There is a toasted ham and egg sandwich already prepared on the counter ready to be served. It is not on the menu. He’s a friend and’ both are glaring at me. I don’t ask, and I keep’my temper. Being a waitress is a de-humanizing experience. As far as the restaurant clientele is concerned, a waitress is a cog in the machine that brings the food, drink and courtesy to the table. She rarely is seen as having intelligence, personality or feelings. Most waitresses in the KitchenerWaterloo area receive the minimum wage and are expected to make the rest of their wages from tips. Very few waitressing positions have job benefits because there is

7

From the top such a high-turnover rate. Since a waitress is invariably the only person with whom the customer comes into direct contact in a restaurant, she is almost always the one who is blamed for a particular problem. Restaurant managers are in an ideal situation since they do not normally have to face the client until voices are’raised or the client asks for them. In many cases, they are not even present in the restaurant. If the soup is cold, the meat too rare, the bread stale or the pie crust soggy, the waitress is the one who must apologize, replace the food, and bow to the customer even though the fault is usually not hers. Waitressing takes on many forms. There are counter sales people in fast-food service restaurants-such as Red Barn, Burger Chef, and MacDonald’s. Although this kind of position may seem ideal because there is no table set up, or clearing, there are no tips and the wages are never higher then the minium wage. These three start their full time staff at $1.65 an hour while part time receive 1.30 at Red Barn and Burger Chef; 1.50 at MacDonald’s. Students are often hired at summer’ resorts as waitresses. One girl who spent a summer as a waitress in a northern Ontario resort reported that the management was “crooked”. Her main complaint was that the staff had no choice in most things. They were provided with a place to live, but their room and board was subtracted from their wages. They were not allowed to live out. They were not allowed to use the same facilities provided for the guests nor were they allowed to eat the same food. She explained that if a dessert was left over from a meal in the main dining room, the manager would let it go stale before she would serve it to the staff. Tips left in the manager’s hands for a certain staff member didn’t reach the particular staff member and the manager usually removed half the tips before the rest were pooled to be. divided among the dining room staff. “In this particular resort, the health inspector either had some sort of arrangement with the manager or else he was being paid off”, she explained. “He usually said ablolutely nothing about the uncleanliness in the kitchen. There were .bugs on the meat cutter-the kind that get into dead meat.” Not all resorts are “crooked” but the situation she described is far from rare. Most girls like waitressing only for one reason. Money can be make from tips fairly quickly if you happen to be working a good shift or serving drinks with the meal. The dinner hour is the most lucrative since one table of four may run up a bill of 25 to 30 dollars including drinks and will usually leave a tip (up to five dollars) if the service has been good and they have enjoyed the meal. But the service and the food will depend largely upon the management. If there is a large enough staff tcl serve coustdmers quickly and if the kitchen staff can juggle everything carefully enough to prevent over-cooking and cold food, the waitress will reap the benefits. In describing the de-humanizing elements of the job, one girl pointed out that in most places, customers will stop talking in the middle of a sentence when the waitress appears at the table. “They -don’t want you to hear them talking about anything. You are really nothing more than a maid to them.” Most restaurants, especially the ones that use a European system of serving, have a specific way of setting up tables, clearing, ordering, even a special way of carrying plates to the table. Often, when a girl first starts her job, these duties are not explained in full and she is immediately labelled stupid for not picking up the methods. Restaurant managers often consider the waitress to be a jack-of-all-trades. She must take orders (often shouted) to clean something, cook something, fix something, without flinching. The manager always considers the feeling and desires of his customer before those of his waitresses because his livelihood usually depevds on

(Following are excerpts from the employee training manual of Cosmo’s, a restaurant chain with a franchise in Kitchener.)

-“Suggestive selling is part of your job as a waitress. It must be practised at all times. Always suggest soup or juice when a customer is ordering a dinner! ” -“It is your duty as a waitress to get the guests’ check as high as possible without being pushy.. .” --“Always suggest a large beverage.” --“Always suggest a second beverage.” --“Always suggest a side order.” --“A customer ordering a spaghetti No. 1 dinner at $1.55 is a very good customer, but if you suggest: soup, 40 cents; salad, 25 cents; large beverage, 30 cents ; side order of meat ball, 75 cents ; ice cream, 40 cents; this customer now spends $3.65. Your tip would probably increase from 25 to 50 cents.” building and keeping a clientele. No matter how rude or disgusting a customer becomes, the manager will usually bow to him before taking the waitress’ side. Often the manager will soothe a customer’s feelings at the table and agree with the waitress in the kitchen, but the appearance is still one of “the customer is right.” One girl described serving a group of men. The service had been fine, the meal hot; but the men were being rude and obnoxious to her. She ignored most of their suggestions but told them what she thought of them just as they were leaving. One of the men turned just as he was going out the door, went back to the table and removed a seven-dollar tip. Most often men who do not receive an answer, or at least recognition of their suggestions, will not even bother to leave the tip. Waitresses are often ask&d to go out of their way to get something special for a customer. Usually they they will try to be accommodating. Usually, they won’t receive anything extra for having gone out of their way. The customer just expects that his every whim will be taken care of as a matter of course. Since a waitress does not receive a very high rate of pay and depends on tips to bring her wages up, she is usually pleasant and courteous to all of her customers. It is only when the customer is unreasonable that problems arise. Many customers do not realize, either, that the job is a very tiring and demanding one. It is extremely frustrating to serve a table that has run up a bill of over two dollars and not recieve a tip. To serve such a table demands just as much time as to serve one with a 20-dollar food bill. The most frustrating job of all in this area is to be a waitress during Oktoberfest. All of the regular waitressing probtems arise as well as ones that stem from customers being drunk. One girl who had 90 people to wait on at a large Oktoberfest establishment said that the customers were “rude, obnoxious pigs.” She felt that the only way to deal with passes and rudeness was to be rude in return. But this option is not normally open to a waitreis, for fear of losing her job and her tips. One restaurant made specia I preparations to serve 20 of the Miss Oktoberfest beauties at a banquet in the restaurant in expectation of free publicity. The meal was a seven-course German feast. Most of the Miss Oktoberfests couldn’t eat most of the food because of ‘dieting’, the entire group and its chaperones were rude, there was no tip left and the restaurant received none of its free publicity. A student waitress usually faces many problems wherever she ends up. Because in a university town sources for restaurant help are unlimited, she must go out of her way to prove to her prospective employer that she is the best one for the job. This invariably involves being the most goodnatured, the quickest, the most adept at the job and the one most willing to do the little “extras”. Given the regular demands of the position, the student as waitress-juggling class schedules and assignments-exerts a great deal of effort in return for meagre advantages. -joan

No ‘ex-con’ cabbies i

And when you are down you tend to stay that way-at least with regard to your position in society. Last week, a man who, according to the K-W Record, had a “history of alcoholism and crime” but “had reformed”, applied to the Kitchener Police Commission for a license to drive cab. The man, a salesman, is a member of Alcoholics Anonymous and has lectured to various groups, including prison inmates, with the idea of seeing them avoid the problems he ran into. His involvement with the straight life was substantiated by a sister AA member who said, “I’d trust him implicitly and I know many others would also”. Despite all this, father commission was not convinced of his suitability to drive people in a car. Judge David Charlton and commission chairman, Sid Maclennon explained that the taxi business is “‘sensitive”. One wonders how it is so much more “sensitive” than any other business. Maclennon, in a telephone interview, said that there were a lot of illegal things a taxi driver could get into, though, he himself, didn’t know specifically what these things were. Yet, Maclennon cast,his vote with the rest of the Police Commission. He went on to say that the taxi service in Kitchener has always been good and that “when you have something that functions

well, you should keep it functioning”. The human element notwithstanding, apparently. Part of the decision was based on the assumption that a man ‘involved in crime’ back in 1967 is still necessarily suspect five years later. And partly, the decision was based on a simple matter of policy : cab licences are seldom issued to ex-convicts ; “...we’d be losing faith with a lot of people if we suddenly dmide to grant a licence to one person with a record and not others;” The package ia alarmingly neat and self-supporting. The man asked: ‘What I’d like to know is how long a person must wait after he returns to his community and has paid his debt, until he is accepted.” Even the equity ethic doesn’t seem to Come through in this instance. One simply pays and pays and pays. And there is concern about recidivism. Part of the Public Service Act states that criminal records may not be taken into consideration with regards to employment. Civil service application forms have no questions on them regarding such records. One can’t help but wonder why this situation is so different. Maclennon and Charlton went on to compliment the man for his efforts. They urged him not to let their refusal stop him from continuing in these efforts-in all their paternalistic wisdom. “There are many other occupations you can apply for with a criminal record”, they said. Speaking of records and the past: remember Oxlea, Sid. -dudley

some are unable to participate in the same manner as others due to social deprivation, prejudice, or physical or mental handicaps. For recreation to be ‘fun’, it must be voluntary. This idealism is lost, however, .if the lack of knowledge, skills, the, negative attitudes or the stiff traditions of society prevent or limit community involvement for the disabled. Until a congenial environment is created for’ all, there can be no true voluntary participation possible for the disabled. Lois McGill, an honours recreation student at UW, is the key organizer of a winter outdoorrecreation program at the Chicopee Ski Hills. With the help of volunteers, she hopes to bring the concept of winter fun into the lives of various disabled persons residing in the K-W area. Opportunities for skiing, skating, toboganning and snowshoeing will be available at Chicopee for blind, mentally ill and physically disabled people at minimal costs. Volunteers, as always, are a key factor for the success of this program. The volunteers must come from the community; the university is part of this community. As volunteers you could help these people gain their rightful place in the immediate society. On a one-to-one basis each of you, some-what ignorant of their ‘limitations’, merely by treating them as equals can help them develop their full potential both in recreative skills and the learned skill of socialization.

A wonderful thing happened around 11:30 am at the Chicopee Ski >Hills last Saturday. Twelve residents from the Erbsville residential home discovered the joy of an outdoor recreative experience. They, along with some interested university students scaled Mt. Chicopee to view the miniature world below and .descended with great speed on those amazing magic carpets. They along with forty, other disabled persons ranging in age from fourteen to forty will have a chance to enjoy themselves in the out-of-doors come january 1973. All of us will agree that there is a basic need for the joy, satisfaction, dignity and spirit of togetherness that can be the outcome of recreational and cultural experiences. This is, after all the very essence of one’s humanness. Too often in the past has the philosophy of the public recreation service has been interpreted such that no person has the right to recreation services or facilities beyond the right of any other person.

feedback Reasonable immigration T policy

I

This is to express my unrestrained compliments to Honourable Mr. Bryce Mackasey for steadfastly supporting the admission of the Ugandans and the principle of racial equality in Immigration, inspite of reactionary racist pressures. It is really unfortunate that he had to yield to backward elements within and without the cabinet to limit the number of Ugandan Immigrants to 5,000 or so.

In my: view such limits betray the principle of Racial Equality and puts humanitarian concern of Canadians in question, for what was needed was lowering of standards of acceptability’ in view of General Amin’s Hitler-like statements, not putting a limit on Qualified Immigrants. Such limits under election pressures are not only arbitrary, inhumane but expose the subtle form of bigotry that is so prevalent in Canadabesides it meant a sommersault for his previous positon of No Bar To Qualified Ugandans. One wonders if the many psuedoNationalists would be so upset if-it was whites who were. to be kicked out by the Blacks say in Rhodesia? Will they ask for a limit then? ’ As for applying from within, I think that the-manner in which it . came about suggests a rebel of sorts organised by the racists within Dept. of Immigration. After all, they have yet to ask any White for a bond let alone turn back a group of Whites. In may opinion, the present legislation is quite adequate if properly enforced\ and two controversial areas eliminated, namely admission of immigrants when unemployment is high, and providing a sanctury for In. ternational criminals. An automatic suspension of rights to apply from within at say 5 percent unemployment rate in Canada, and stricter visa legislation coupled with more power to” a suitable Authority dealing with criminals is all that is necessary. It should be remembered that only about one in a thousand visitors applied for immigration from within. As for the Department of Immigration, two major changes are necessary if the Open Immigration Policy is to be meaningful in practice; (1) The availability of the department should be equal in all parts of the world, that amounts to providing more emphasis in Non-white Immingration. (2) Department of Immigration can harbor less racists and hire more non-whites. The Liberals need not stampede from a reasonable Immigration policy with an excellent minister to lead the Department into an awkward inflexible Immigration Policy illsuited to the long term interests of Canada and the World. Let the Honourable Minister act after due consideration. chaitanya k. kaevar grad systems- design

U of W. Right now most cities are cutting back on salt for ecological reasons. This doesn’t appear to-be true on campus. It would be interesting to comparethe budget for snow removal (including trucks, etc, already paid for) at the university and for the city of Waterloo (a dollar per mile rate seems sensible) , since weather conditions are identical. You might further consider the cost due to replacement of all sod near walkways due to salt and wild drivers, replacement of trees near the ring road due to salt damage (and perhaps replacement of boots for 10,000 students because of the salt). At a time when both students and staff are suffering due to budget restraints, it would be interesting to see if any money could be saved in the “winter works” area.

Learning and ,-parking What is the purpose of a university? I thought I came here to learn but the biggest obstacle is parking. It is bad enough that students have to pay to use parking privileges during the week, but why do we have to pay on weekends when the parking lots are empty. Certain lots have keys and these are designated for certain people. But these people do not use their parking facilities between Friday night and Monday morning, and therefore, I think all lots should open at 6 pm Friday. On one specific Friday, I went to the university and all the gates were closed. According to one member of the university staff, the gates for C lot were to open at 6 pm and according to another member, they were to open at 9 pm. However, at 9 :40 pm they were still closed. Either the university is trying to take the students for as much as they can or else they don’t want us to use university facilities to learn. Perhaps if more students speak up, we will not be paying when it isn’t necessary.

Two weeks ago Ontario’s Minister of the Environment James Auld stood in the Ontario legislature: and denied all reports that any Ontario waters flowing into James Bay or Hudson Bay would be part of a diversion scheme that would sell *the province’s water to the United States. Minister Auld’s reply to opposition questions amounted to either an outright lie or political double talk for the provincial and federal governments have already begun the preparations for Canada’s final plan-our sellout as a nation. Mr. Auld also said in the legislature that “since the resources of northern Ontario waters flowing into James Bay and Hudson Bay come within the ’ jurisdictional responsibility of the province of Ontario, their development and use for whatever purpose, will be evaluated from the viewpoint of what is best for the people of this province.” By this statement it is obvious he doesn’t deny the possibility that such a diversion scheme will occur, if we can make money-or other considerations. To further the grounds for grave suspicion he continued to say that, “should the engineering studies establish the feasibility of diverting additional waters within or between northern river basins for hydroelectric or other purposes, no dam would be constructed without first assessing thesocio-economic advantages of such a scheme, including the cultural and ecological effects on the area.” The Minister however didn’t add that such studies have been undertaken and have shown the feasibility of such a plan to eliminate low levels in the Great Lakes during certain years, and help compensate periods of drought in the eastern United States-as occurred from 1961 to 1964. He also didn’t let on that crash socio-economic and ecological studies of the highest priorities have been undertaken within the region to be flooded, or that the confidential reports now in Toronto were undertaken by Hydro, the ministry of natural . resources, other federal and even American departments.

The sellout plan When you get right down to it, Canada isn’t much of a nation. Only 20 million people strung out along the border of a vast wasteland too big to defend from any foreign power worth its salt, and largely owned by the Americans. The only thing we have that is truly Canadian is the water within our boundary. Not even the soil or rocks are our own. Those worth anything are American owned, and even being shipped south for U.S. industries. Now we have plans for the final giveaway-the granddaddy of them all-our water. As it now stands most people in southern Ontario haven’t really given the thought of this prospect much attention. It seems too remote an idea; too ‘science fictioney’ to even happen here. Well, tel I - that to the people along the Columbia, or the Skagit River Valley or the community of South Indian Lake in Manitoba. Water diversion projects do happen ; sellouts have occurred, and are on the planning boards. A committee by the name of Dam the Dams of Thunder Bay has been doing a great deal of snooping and fighting against the Northern Ontario “water plot” which would see all major rivers controlled, and to a large extent held, in a collection basin the size of Lake Superior. This water would also be diverted south, wherever necessary, and in whatever’quantity for American use. There would be a 50,000 square mile area flooded by the project north of Lake Nipigon. The Campaign’s aim is simple: to prevent the construction of dams and diversion projects before they get started and halt those already in progress. At the moment, two Ontario rivers have been diverted for power projects and now flow into the

Great Lakes. These are the Ogoki River and Lake diverted in 1943 and 1939 respectively. within this same general area, that this massive plan will occur.

Long It is new

History of water diversion Thaddee Wilgot, chief of the Institute of Hydrography at the University Marie CurieSklodowska in Lublin, Poland said in Ottawa last month that Canada is one of the five countries with adequate water to supply the world. Canada, he stressed will be the logical supplier for the United States. He concluded that only three U.S. regions can guarantee water for the next 25 years, even though there is more water per person in that country in comparison to Europe. The problem is that most surface fresh water is polluted. The lack of clean water was also realized by the Ralph M. Pearsons Company of Los Angeles when they proposed the North American Water and Power Alliance [nawapa] in 1964. This plan, costing $100 billion over a 25 to 30 year construction period, would collect water from as far as the Yukon, and transport it by the Rocky Mountain Trench to the southern Cajifornia aqueduct network and even supply parts of Mexico.. In 1966 the plan was endorsed by the United States Senate. There was also a central plan, the Canadian Great Lakes Waterway (CENAWP) which would collect water from the Peace and Athabaska, the North Saskatchewan, Qu’Appell river, Lake Winnipeg as well as rivers flowing to Hudson and James Bay in Ontario. In 1966, estimates by the Pearsons Company said Canada would need to -spend approximately $40 billion to pay its part of the NAWAPA scheme, and for this Canada would earn $4 billion annually from hydro rates and investment.’ This $40 billion of course would have to be borrowed from the U.S. with an annual 8% interest rate worth about $3.2 billion. Having to pay the annual interest rate plus annual operating costs, it is likely that Canada would spend more yearly than it would earn from NAWAPA and would be putting us into perpetual debt. The Mackenzie Valley pi-peline project is peanuts compared to this proposed plan.

The Globe and Mail editorial of the day saw the potential water sell out as one big international poker game, a game that Canada would not benefit from if “it is filched, thrown in too early, held too long, or traded for worthless tender.” Even so, the concept in their eyes was good and they blamed federal-provincial feuding as the only hold up in the construction of diversion projects. In the same edition, opposite the editorial page there was a large story written by Thomas W. Kierans. He too was advocating the “Grand scheme for Canada’s liquid assets-WATER FOR SALE”. And why shouldn’t he advocate the plan? After all it was the same Canadian, Mr. Thomas W. Kieranswho brought out the first such plan for inter-basin transfer of’water. This was the Great Replenishment and Northern Development Canal project in 1959. His scheme called for the dyking of James Bay, collecting the fresh water in the Bay, then pumping the water down the Ottawa, to Lake Nippissing and the French River to Georgian Bay. From there, the ‘surplus’ would be pumped out in Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland or Buffalo and into American waterways and homes. At the bottom of the story in italics the Globe and Mail explained that, “Mr. Kierans, a professional engineer, has just completed a survey of Canada’s water resources for the national resources committee of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce.” Such a coincidence Mr. Turner had spoken to the

The NAWAPA plan was not fully bought by Canadians, even though some political figures were advocating the project. A month before his death, General A.G.L. McNaughton called the plan “a monstrous concept, a diabloic thesis.” His experience gained from the Columbia River sellout by Premier Bennett and the Canadian government was still fresh in his mind. General McNaughton also quoted Professor Trevor Lloyd of McGill who said in the Canadian Geographic Journal that year, “Clearly, we have an exercise in sophomore civil engineering which has received far greater attention than it ever deserved. It underlines the danger, all too familiar to geographers, of allowing the drawing office to replace acquaintance with the land and the people as they really aie.” Even though McNaughtonsaid the situation was too hazardous to be left to giant U.S. corporations. other Canadians thought there was merit in the concepts. In December 1965, John Turner, the man touted by some as possibly the Liberal successor to Pierre Trudeau, spoke in Washington as the then parliamentary assistant to the minister of Northern Affairs and Natural Resources to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. He said Canada may use its water resources as a trade lever to pry its way into U.S. markets and to drag industry into Canada’s northland.

oprrkm t? 1967, been a Professor of civil engineering at the university of Washington and director of the State of Washington Water Research Centre. At this meeting he was now the director of water planning for the Policy and Planning Branch of’ the federal Mines and Resources Of department of Energy, Canada. Before his appointment he was a great advocate North American Water Plan of the Central (CeNAWP). This plan involved damming the rivers flowing out of the plains and diverting the water south to the U.S. via either the Red and Missouri rivers or the Great Lakes, or both. At the 1968 seminar Mr. Tinney had modified his views very slightly. He still said, “The evidence seems clear, however, that massive water developments carefully staged in their construction to be consistent with other expanding elements of society, do offer real opportunity for economic growth equitably distributed, conserved resources and a preserved environment.” The water sellout was still a hot topic in february 1970. By now the Ontario and Canadian governments were doing extensive work in northern Ontario, and the United States Army had even sent engineers to Lake Nipigon to study ice conditions the previous year. Under cross examination Parliament by Conservative G.H. Aiken and NDP Leader T.C. Douglas, Resources Minister Joe Greene had to flatly state no Canadian water could be sold without approval of the Canadian government, and the government was not contemplating giving any such approval. The opposition wasn’t satisfied, saying there was a likelihood of an “exchange package” of natural resources. After all, the U.S. Army had just pulled out of the north and they were supplied with all the names of the people living around Lake Nipigon by the OPP. Why? No one asked that question, nor did they not ask if we had people capable of measuring ice thicknesses. Mr. Greene dismissed the opposition by quoting John Diefenbaker. As Prime Minister in May 1961 Diefenbaker termed the proposal “impractable from an economic point of view on the basis of the engineering data available at this time.” The engineers were working in the north since August 1965 and their research was becoming available to governments for evaluation. Mr. Greene kept denying there was any possibility of a sellout for the rest of 1970. He travelled to Denver and to Washington and repeated the story over and over. Finally due to a number of heart attacks and general failing health he was replaced by Donald MacDonald. Still the data reports of northern Ontario were available. _A

U.S. Chamber of Commerce that very same week! By December 1968 at the seminar on Continental Use of Arctic-F/o wing Rivers held at Pullman Washington, the Canadian position changed. The waters in the Great Lakes, after all, were rising n-ow, the drought conditions of the eastern U.S. ended by 1966 and people began to demand water pollution be cleaned up-on both sides of the borders. A.T. Davidson, the Assistant Deputy Minister (Water) of the Department of Energy Mines and Resources stated water research was taking place in the Canadian north. This included joint federalprovincial studies on the quantity and quality of five Ontario river systems draining into Hudson and James Bayhowever no attempt had been made to develop an understanding of our currect and anticipated requirements. Even though stating that the Canadian government’s policy was “not to develop its water resources except on a f6undation of knowledge as “3 its supply and the expected demands thereon,” Mr. Davidson left the door open by saying, “one alternative use of water that might be considered in the planning phase of river basin management could be inter-basin diversion of a portion of the annual flow,” and that the resolution of some of our diverse domestic problems may include large scale inter-basin water transfers.” An interesting sidelight to this seminar was the fact that Dr. E. Roy Tinney, the editor of the subsequent publication on the proceedings, had, until

The rivers of Ontario’s northland are very big. They run lonely through the land for miles. There are few settlements along the way, only the jack pine stand along the banks. The Albany, for example starts at Lake Joseph near Sioux Lookout, and runs east to James Bay. It drains an area of 53,000 square miles and includes a number of large tributaries including the Kenogamik, Nagami, Pagwachuan, Kabinakagami and Ogoki Rivers. The river is still undeveloped and unpopulated with the exception of isolated Indian communities with their missions and trading posts. It is 650 miles long. The Attawapiskat is almost as long; 500 miles approximately, with only two communities along the river. The Winish River flowing to Hudson Bay is only 250 miles long but drains 26,000 square miles. Most of the river is protected as a Wild River Provincial Park. The last major river system under investigation for diversion and power potential by federal and

McLaren; J.W. Livvy of Vancouver, B.C. and Caldwell, Idaho; J.-D. Mallard of Regina; and Ripley, Klohn and Leonoff of Winnipeg. Besides this, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers were doing ice surveys from 1967 to 1968. By and large, these agencies have collected data on streamflow, snow-course, rainfall, water levels, chemical analysis of water, bathymetric contours of lakes and geologic mapping. This was undertaken mainly by the OWRC and dept. of Energy, Mines and Resources. Besides this, core-inspection and hydraulic testing of bore holes drilled along the Albany River have levelled large areas. Engineering feasibility studies and mapping of possible diversion of routes southward and into the Great Lakes have been undertaken and of course there have been sociological studies undertaken with the native population. Very little hard core data has ever been made public, most is secret. The Co-ordinating Committee on Northern Ontario Water Resources Studies Sixth Progress Report to the government of Canada and Ontario was released in November 1968. In the report it stated, “Approximately four miles of levelling was carried out south of the Pipestone River to complete a level grid extending from Pipestone River to the northern boundary of the Ogoki River and interconnecting structure sites along the Agutua glacial moraine. These sites were in 1967 in connection with an investigated engineering feasibility study of a scheme for using the Agutua moraine as a diversion barrier. A topographic survey by the transit-stadia method was completed for a dam site on the Ogoki River at Whiteclay Lake to investigate the feasibility of providing additional storage required to regulate increased diversion flow to the Great Lakes. In addition, work described below was carried out in connection with engineering feasibility studies of power development on the Albany River and of diverting water to the Albany River from streams further north.” Also in 1969 the OWRC released their Data for Northern Ontario Water Resources Studies, 1966-68. (Water Resources Bulletin l-l, General Series). Again, the diversion theme appeared. On page one it said : “In October 7965, the Prime Minister of Canada and the Premier of Ontario announced that the government of Canada and Ontario had agreed to undertake a series of co-ordinated studies on Ontario’s northern water resources and related economic developments . . . Most of the work is being undertaken in five large river basins draining to Hudson Bay and James Bay. . . these are the Severn, Winisk, A ttawapiskat, Albany, and Moose River basins. ” “The Co-ordinating Committee prepared a statement of objectives for the studies to be carried out separately by agencies of the two governments, as folio ws : With respect to waters draining James Bay and Hudson Bay in Ontario, to assess the quantity and quality of water resources for all purposes; to determine present and future requirements for such waters; and to assess alternative possibilities for utilization of such waters locally or elsewhere through diversion. ” By May 1969 the Seventh Progress Report of the Co-ordinating Committee was released and again revealed some interesting writing; or shall we say investigations in the region. The federal Surveys and Mapping Branch had, “compiled the preliminary mapping of a possibl,e diversion route between the Attawpiskat and Albany Rivers...A potential diversion route between Winisk Lake and the Attawapiska River was also mapped by the (engineering) division.; .” Diversion plans were ready; ready for the right poker game, and the right political climate, the right American drought and silent Canadians. This is the state we are in now. Given the right conditions, the green light could be given immediately. -continued

The Exploitation of Sports by the Power Elite, a revealing book by PAUL HOCH Paul

Hoch’s analysis of the Sports Establishment is hard-hitting, radical, controversial and critical. He shows not only what’s wrong with it but how its ills reflect the ills of our society. It is not an attack on sports but a critique of the system under which we live. Jack Scott, a former pro football player and now head of the institute for the Study of Sports and Society has written the introduction. $2.15. NOW

There was some evident disharmony. betwe<en the accompaniment of the small orchestra-and the choir, which was probably a result in some way of not enough common practice. To my ears there was no conflict between the soloists and the rest of the choir: their voices blended in response to each other in exciting ways.

I wonder what it would be like with a number of singers like her?

Combinations and individuality

versus

collectivitv In the reviewing of cultural events, I think that it is necessary for the parameters of appreciation or criticism to be understood. And, In the cases of the two events held In the Theatre of the Arts last weekend, “Carol Fantasy” and a harp performance by Judy Loman, I must be especially honest because the parameters have a few shortcomings. In both instances I was late and missed most of the first half of the programmes. However, I feel that I saw enough of it to be sorry to have missed the beginnings, and that should be basis enough for expressing an appraisal. Secondly, I have no adequate comparisons in my experience to understand these performances relative to similar performances. The only choirs I have heard have been one or two small church choirs years ago, and the oniy harp playing I can recall was by Harpo Marx in a brief scene from an old movie. Yet, although I can make no specific comparisons, I can make more general comparisons in the light of other musical experience, which is perhaps more relevant to others who are also unfamiliar to this type of art. Thirdly, I have no idea how advanced pregnancy would affect the performance of someone singing on stage; I’m sure there must be some problems, if only fatigue from having to stand for a long period of time, but Suzanne Berg’s performance was on such a high level that, to me, the problems were ind iscernable. An important part of reviewing is to deal with aspects of an event In such ways that allow others to become more sensitive to what has happened or could-happen in the event. None of these short: comings are so grave that they prevent me from responding to the events in this way. I cannot deal with the content relative to other classical works; therefore I must deal with it more directly as part of the performance. It is a matter, not of how it “should sound” compared to the interpretation of some other group, but rather how it does sound under these specific circumstances. The Theatre of the Arts-is a good place for concerts, being comforta ble and not unmanageably

motion on the part of the harpist, Judy Loman, seemed to flow in a manner complementary to the sound of the harp. It seemed that almost all the energies of her body, especially her arms, legs and face, were focused on the act of performing the music. It was obvious that total coordination was necessary in order to make the resulting rhythm so complex, yet smooth and cohesive. Her countenance reflected the totality of her concentration; the quickening, then relaxing of the music resulted from‘the combined similar motions of her body. _-Of course, the performance was of a very individualistic, flavour, but it wasn’t merely the success of her singular interpretation of someone else’s music that was exciting, but rather what seemed to be a spontaneity, an at-thatvery-moment inventiveness that gave me the sense that what was being seen and heard was original. It was an expression that was peculiar to her feelings at that time and in that place, only minimally compromised by the fact that the selection of the material was predetermined. The two different approaches to artistic expression in these concerts bring about interesting perspectives on each other. Apart from the soloists, I don’tthink that the individual appearances of the choir singers on stage would be very interesting; but I would enjoy an application of the ideas of collectivity to the performance of Judy Loman. Even though her performance was exceptionnally beautiful, the integration of her inspirations with those of equally able musicians is a far more exciting idea. -Steve

Liberal

I hoaxes On Geronimo’s Cadillac (A&M SP 4358) Michael Murphey has brewed country, blues and folk in proportions that blend beautifully and are pleasantly original. His guitar and vocals are as good as any I’ve heard lately, and are enhanced by a good variety of high quality songs (all but one written or collaborated on by M.M.). The title song deserves particular mention for avoiding the painfully obvious liberal hoaxes offered by several other performerstelling of “the plight of the Indian.” A one-time writer out for the buck, Murphey has closed the- ring by returning to Texas, singing about the land and “working for waking up.” His music is spontaneous, natural, always in touch with reality; and in these days of contrived peace lyrics, Geronimo’s Cadillac is a refreshing reminder that we’re not all quite ready to walk hand in hand into the sunset. -doug

Sensitive and f reespirited The Separate Peace, now playing at the Fairview Cinema has got to be one of the most refreshing movies to come along in a long time. Based on John Knowles’ novel, the movie setting is the same as the novel’s, that of beautiful Exeter Academy in Massachusetts. Eight of the prep school’s sixteen yeal. old boys form the nucleus of the movie, and although their roles are debuts you wouldn’t know it. The naturalness of the dialogue and the se.nsitivity that develops between the boys are of the highest order-on the Ieve! of the trained Stanislofski actor. Perhaps it is the carefree spirit or the reckless abandon of the boys at play, which so tightly fastens the bond between viewer and actor. Perhaps it is the tranquility and almost pastoral scenery of the Exeter campus that causes the eye to swoon. The whole movie is a heavy sensuous experience of tranquility which is synonymous with peace. Yet within this setting there is a play within a play. It is a play of horrid savagery, of death and Machiavellian forces which grip you by the throat and shake you until there is nothing left to do but surrender. In short, “A Separate Peace”, is about weaknesses in human nature. And in one sudden moment of betrayal, a brother kills brother. In that moment, we recognize our lives being -played out on the screen. The juxtaposition of peace and war as symbolized by the gentle campus on the one hand and the brutal act of betrayal on the other produces the effect of sweet irony. The eerie baroque chamber music set to piano, signals each disclosure of human flaw. In the end, like Gene, the protagonist, we admit what is inside us and hopefully we are better capable of handling the violence and wars of the adult world outside us. A suggestion, if you intend to take in the movie-the deeper story is obvious, so don’t look for it, or you might miss the fantastic photography and darn good debut acting. -glen

Th e rhetorical acorn Milton Acorn appeared at the university last week, reading poetry from his new book ‘More Poems For People’. My experience of him, through his earlier poetry, was disappointed both by his change in style and by the nature of the situation. I found Acorn wretchedly incongruous. Wretched because of how we, the audience, stepped in-between the sight of him and the experience of him as a man. Acorn, once a carpenter, chooses to write mostly about the lives of blue collar workers, down-and-outs, oppressed people, and he does so with a bluntness, honesty and power. His poetry is rich and heavy, loaded with brick-like facts about people’s experience. It is embittered and <cornpassionate, political and romantic, always earthy. His poem The Island, about his native P.E.I., which he read with a slow, heavy dialect, sounded irrefutable, like boulders. Acorn’s appearance and manner, deep-set, rugged and unwieldy, complement the sense of his poetry. He is altogether real without becoming mundane. Yet within the apparent dynamic of this and other poetry readings, (where a hero of the working class is beset by ‘people’s poetry’ seekers), his power is lessened by the element of abstraction-not aesthetic but academic. It is unfortunate that while his poems are for and about working people, the elitist nature of most recognised poetic activity is such that his audience and readers are mostly those whose lives are divorced from the situation of working people. Thus Acorn’s poetry becomes an art abstracted from reality, experienced with euphoria rather than enlightenment. For there seems to be within the left a stage characterised by mental self-indulgence, where the void created by a rejectibn of values without yet the building of alternative practices, seeks resolution in the need to be in love with the new awareness. The passion is lived out in several ways, people’s poetry readings being one of them. The poet can hardly escape definition within this context. His thoughts are patronised, his image emulated, and he is made a hero for the left. As for Acorn, one has the impression of an individual who would rather get on with it than stop to define himself. Yet he does so, and perhaps inevitably, for how possible is it to remain an individual when one is bound to an audience. He defines himself through his promotion of a workingman image, which appears a little individualistic at times, and through his political affiliation made public by his being heralded into the poetry reading by a representative, of the Canadian Liberation Movement, and b-y the content of his new book. In ‘More Poems For People’ the material is very directly nationalistic, anti-liberal, antifascist, anti-imperialist, directly sympathetic with Canadian indians, the quebecois, revolutionary heroes, workers and the unemployed. There are very few love or nature poems. Good-poets and poetry are revolutionary, but their forms of subversion must remain highly distinct, however common their goal. Acorn’s apparent attempt to integrate his poetic form with his physical practice has resulted to a degree in the sacrifice of his aesthetic expressidn to political rhetoric. Occasionally we are given propa,ganda rather than poetry. In effect, these verses provide labels rather than inspire

the shift in viewpoint possible in the transition from long shot to close-up. Reified as “the essence of cinema” .by Eisenstein, Pudovkin, and their interpreters, montage is shown by Perkins to have originally been a matter of necessity rather than choice, required by the physical immobility of the first tine-cameras. Si?ce this is no longer the case, a continued equation of creativity and editing “converts -mary holmes a technical resource into an artistic and promotes an artificial obligation,” distinction between content and organization. In attempting to shift his concern from creation to perception, Perkins first reviews the world of Andre Bazin and Siegfried Kracauer, who argued that the photographed reality WAS primary and the film-maker’s ideas peripheral. Alth,ough this is much closer to Perkins’ eventual position, he finds it lacking in that it leads to a fetishism of the object which is just as restrictive as the mystification of montage, and impose equally severe constraints Since both views negate In the attempt to establish the validity of _ upon film-makers. some of fhe possibilities of film, Perkins the cinema as an art form, film theorists sensibly opts for a re-examination of the have often sought to limit the “art film” to historical, and particularly technological, non-commercial works of highly selective development of the film medium. appeal, thereby avoiding any obligation to Here he makes the important point that either defend or understand those films experiments with “moving p/ctures” (e.g. a intended for a mass audience.

For the rest of his poems, he communicated the depth of his experience and understanding with precision, straightforwardness and wit. Uncompromising, enthusiastic and immediate, Acorn is a powerful and exciting poet.

Baby out with bath water

Perkins begins to get into trouble, however, when he suggests that his formulation supplies a set of standards which can be used to analyze the most common kind of commercial film, the fictional narrative. Although he pays lip service to the validity of other genres _(cartoons, documentaries), statements such as the following come rather close to mimicking those “essences of cinema” pronouncements which he earlier deprecated: The fictional film exploits, where purer forms negate, the conflict between reality and illusion. A conflict theory of film? As an abstraction of Simmel’s more sophisticated sociological formulations, this does not stand very close scrutiny. Given that “reality” and “illusion” are opposites by definition, it does not follow that they are necessarily in “conflict,” nor does it follow that negation results whet-i one is emphasized over the other (cartoons, for example, often increase awareness of the reality-illusion dichotomy by depicting fantastic events which grate against the viewer’s experience). The statement also places an obvious value judgement upon the heightening of “conflict,” which Perkins assumes but does not bother to justify. If such a “theory” is little more than an intellectual can of worms, Perkins does demonstrate its usefulness as an analytic tool in understanding why fictional films do affect us as they do. Using a very broad range of examples, few of which are commonly held to be “art films,” he provides several insightful explications of how photographic realism and dramatic illusion have been combined to produce expressive effects which are synthetic rather than merely additive. Not satisfied with this, however, he again produces a theoretical formulation of dubious value by describing this synthesis dependent upon “the as a “coherence” director’s ability to achieve his images and effects without reaching beyond the limits of the chosen action.” The operative phrase “beyond the IEmits,” and is obviously Perkins fails to provide the reader with any useful understanding or definition of it: he accepts certain associative levels of particularly those which meaning, phenomenologists would characterize as “intersubjectively valid,” but can ultimately give us nothing more than the relativistic advice to trust our perceptions as to a film’s coherence or incoherence. Another can of woi-ms. While Perkins is engaged in analyzing individual films, he tosses off further generalizations which reveal a decided tendency towards the sort of “essence of the cinema” axioms which he elsewhere deplores. His bias against intellectual, and especially “ideological,” content is usually hidden by the requirement that it achieve “coherence” with the photographic image, but it does slip through in the remark that “(Film) has a built-in tendency to favour the communication of vision and experience as against programme; ” if so, and this is very questionable, the statement requires more than its mere assertion. Perkins’ anti-montage stance, justified when he provides specific evidence of its misuse, becomes absurd when made into a general principle: “In a fictional world where anything at all can happen, nothing can mean or matter” slights the world of myth and archetype as well as the contemporary “horror” film, although it achieves some distinction by virtue of being one of the few attempts at dismissing both C.G. Jung and G.S. Kaufman in the same sentence. If Film as Film fails to move beyond’ Perkins’ analysis of what is wrong with existing film theory, it is nevertheless valuable for its deflation of what is all too often taken as received truth by those who have a vested interest in establishing that the cinema is an “art.” Since it also contains several exemplary examples of closeto-the-grain criticism of individual movies, it can be recommended as provocative, if ultimately wrong-headed, work which at least raises most of the important questions even if it does not succeed in resolving them. -pad

A’game Curling

Club

Fall term curling activities are rapidly drawing to a close. Membership in the club was up this term and the mixed intramural bonspeil was run successfully. Waterloo hosted a very successful invitational intercollegiate bonspeil in november and is preparing to send representatives to other competitions. After seven games, the men’s varsity competition for the winter term has ended. Two teams played in the finals on Wednesday, november 29, and thursday, november 30. Wednesday night saw Terry Olaskey’s rink defeat previously undefeated Steve Allen, 11 to 10. This set the stage for the final game the next evening. After 10 ends on thursday night, the Olaskey rink secured the top position in the competition defeating Allen’s rink, 11 to 10. The top three teams in the fall varsity competition were: 1. Terry Olaskey (skip), Jim Coyle, Bill Squirrill, Ian McLennan 2. Steve Allen, Keith Barrett, Gord Clarke, Dan Pronaska 3. Ron French, Roger Beaulieu, Peter King, Dave Roepkg. The fall varsity winner will represent the university at the invitational men’s bonspeils at Brock on january 13, and at Toronto on january 20. Men’s varsity competition for the winter term will begin on thursday, january 11. Any curlers who are interested in entering a team should contact Terry Olaskey at 884-2277 or come to the organizational meetings at the KW ,Granite Club on monday, january 8, or thursday, january 11 at 4 pm.

Men’s varsity competition will be a single-knockout event with the winner playing off against the fall term varsity winner. The winning team of this series will represent university of Waterloo at the OUAA western division final at Guelph on february 2nd and 3rd. The women’s varsity curling team has been chosen and coach Judy Moore predicts that the girls should be able to retain the championship that was won last year. The rink consists of Pat Munroe, Anne Mallon, Allana Chipps and Brenda Grant. Recreational curling playoffs are now underway and the final results should be known soon. Organizational meetings will be held on january 8th, monday and on thursday, january 11th. Anybody interested in curlingshould make an appearance at the K-W Granite Club in Kitchener on whichever afternoon you would like to curl in order to register and decide on the format of club events. Curling is from 4 pm to 6 pm almost every monday and thursday afternoon; a great way to get exercise and relaxation.

points followed by Wilson with 10. In the second game, Coop Math did it again as they have all through the playoffs, putting forth a minimum of offence but playing a stingy defence. At half time the score was tied 16-16, but Math pulled ahead 30-26 to advance to the finals. Tom Ablett netted 9 points, and teammate Kenap had 8 for the winners. Al Betteto hooped 12 points for Arts. In the final game, St. Jeromes is slated to win by 3, but 7 would be more realistic. Math has shown no offence in the playoffs, and if Dale Hajdu can get hot from outside, St. Jeromes should run away with the title.

Hockey playoffs In the preliminary round action of the intramural hockey playoffs, some lopsided scores and surprising upsets occurred. Coop defeated Renison 7-O on 2 good efforts by Thompson and Hiscock: Smith, Hamilton, and Devitt tallied one each, with Devitt also picking up 3 assists. Village 2 West was also on the side of a lopsided victory as they defeated Team Cracker 7-l. The Village team was aided by a three goal effort by D. Flerety, with McFadden, and Groves Edwards, and Stinson netting the others. Nephin tallied the lone single for the Crackers. Title contender Regular Math defeated Village 1 North 6-O as Madeley tallied a hat trick and Skinner, Mucci, and Hoshizaki all tallie singles for Math.

Math I and Trojans battled to an exciting finish in their preliminary game. Math I took the lead in the first period on a goal by T. Wilson. Trojans tied it up with about 4 minutes left in the game as Chambers put the puck in the Math I net. Then with 1:25 seconds remaining in the overtime period, Chambers tallied the last goal for Trojans to take the game 2-l. In the first upset of the night, Kin 8~ Ret defeated Village 1 South 3-2 on goals by Rick Howse, Dale Wood, and Regis Bauer. Smith and Boyd scored for the losers. The biggest upset occurred in the first game of the night as first ranked St. Paul’s went down to defeat by the fourth place wildcard team, Village 2 North, by a score of 2-1. St. Paul’s opened the scoring, following a scoreless final period, when Peter Bedford banged one past the North goalie at the 12 minute mark. P. Scott of Village 2 North tied it up 1:35 later. Then with 3: 15 left in the game, a misplay by a St. Paul’s defenseman let D. Counts take a quick shot from the slot to give Village 2 North the playoff win. Predictions are difficult for the play-offs what with all the surprises in the prelims an’ all, but we will attempt to give you a glimpse of the semi’s. Look for Village 2 North to take Regular Math in a close match probaby 3-2. Environmental studies should easily be in the finals with a 4-2 win over the Coop team. The finals should see Environmental Studies grab the title from the Village North squad with a decisive 5-2 victory. Now that you know all the ‘results, there is little need to worry when viewing the games, all that remains is to determine when the goals will be scored.

Playoffs

In the preliminary round of the basketball playoffs all teams won as expected. Bio-recks couldn’t be bothered to show and lost by default to Volleyball. St. Jeromes took Regular Math 69-28, Village 1 North took Geology 65-13, Village 2 South deflated Upper Eng 35-24, and Kin & Ret took Village 2 East 49-25. Arts failed to read’ the points spreads and instead of defeating Village 2 North by 5, they took them by fifty, 78-28. Meanwhile, back at the farm, Coop Math, minus their big man in the centre, nearly threw off the whole prediction schedule, but came through to defeat Village 2 South 32-29. In the quarterfinals, Arts and Volleyball were tied with 1 minute left, but Arts then pulled away to win 42-36. St. Jeromes took Kin & Ret 47-36, and Coop Math won 32-20 over Village 2 South. The only upset occurred as Village 1 North defeated Renison 53-42. In the semi-finals, held monday evening, both games turned out to be last minute wins. In the first game. St. Jeromes and Village 1 North battled to a 34-34 tie at the end of regulation time as Bigness of Village 1 North scored a basket with 20 seconds remaining to play. But it was fouls that became the downfall of Village 1 North as St. Jeromes put in 7 foul shots in extra time to win the game 45-36. Dale Hajdu led all the scorers as he tallied 22 points for St. Jeromes. Davey .had 8 and Roy Lance 5 for the winners. Bigness led the scoring for the village team with 14

Basketball

A thenas and Hawkettes lacklustre

/

The people’s gym saw two fired up female basketball teams take to the court last Tuesday evening, but their enthusiasm was not paralleled by the calibre of play. The Athenas came away with a 5l22 lacklustre win over the Waterloo Lutheran Hawkettes which leaves them three-and-two in league play for the first half of the schedule. Both teams got off to a very slow start and it took almost three minutes for the scoreboard to change. Waterloo hooped first and slowly built up a 7-O lead before their Lutheran opponents tallied. A 7-2 score, more reminiscent of a hockey game than a fast moving basketball encounter, remained until the Athenas ‘cooled down’ enough to allow four unanswered points by the Hawkettes. In a wise move, coach Sally Kemp called a time. out in an attempt to get something going. The subsequent substitution of veteran Toos Simons spurred the Athenas as they came to life once more. Miss Simmons popped in three baskets after excellent individual efforts to return some respectability to the game, but even that was shortlived. With the uppers came the downers. Before the first half was near completion, center and teamleading rebounder Yonna Luypaert drew her fourth foul and was removed for the remainder of the half. Little Loretta McKenzie was off and not weaving through the Lutheran defense as is her custom. And as a topper, Jane Liddell who had been controlling the boards in Luypaert’s absence, fell beneath skirts and heavy feet coming up with a sprained ankle. Liddell was playing her final game for the Athenas and was forced to the bench for the rest of the match. Mediocre continued play throughout the first half and the teams retired to the dressing room for the break more from boredom than exhaustion. Score at that point was somewhere around 22-12 in the Athenas’ favour. The second half offered little _ added excitement and both teams seemed to be waiting for divine intervention. However, the Athenas remained ahead on the scoreboard but for the Athenas and the few who gathered to see the game, that seemed enough. As far as a basketball game went, both teams were atrocious. The Waterloo athenas have played 8 far better, but unfortunately winning is the thing. In this game, both the Lutheran Hawkettes and the spectators came away losers-one cannot assume, however that the Athenas assumed themselves to be ‘winners’ . In a losing cause, the home squad played superior ball and if those cases both teams can be considered ‘winners’, last Tuesday both the Athenas and the Hawkettes were losers, as were those watching. -dermis

What the puck The university of Waterloo hockey Warriors played giant killers on the week-end with two wins in three days against two previously first place teams. Warriors defeated the university of Western Ontario Mustangs 6-4 in London on Thursday then dumped Laurentian Voyageurs 6-2 at the local Waterloo arena Saturday afternoon. At Western, the Warriors squelched the purple grapes with single goals being scored by: Peter Paleczny, Dick Smith, Mike Guimond, Bill Stinson, Russ Elliott, and Cam Crosby. The win dislodged the ‘stangs from- first place in the western division. The 6-2 victory over Laurentian helped drop the Voyageurs out of first place in the Eastern Division of the OUAA and also lifted the undefeated Warriors into sole possession of first place in the western division race. In dumping Laurentian, the Warriors avenged an embarrassing\loss at the hands of the northern Ontario club last season. ;Within seven minutes of the opening period veterans Frank Staubitz and Jim Morris and Warrior’s top scorer Mike Guimond tallied for the Warriors who hung onto a 3-l lead after the opening twenty minutes of play. Best had scored for Laurentian. In the second period, ex-Toronto Marlboro Frank Hamill scored to cut the Warrior lead to 3-2, but this was short lived as Dickie Smith’s deceiving shot skipped between Laurentian goalie Dave Tataryn’s pads and into the net. The second period ended 4-2. In the third frame Cam Crosby broke Laurentian’s back with a blistering slap shot from just inside the blue line to push Warriors into a 5-2 lead. Laurentian appeared done in at that stage, as the

basket. He was more in the upset win.

effects of their game against the Toronto Blues the night before became obvious - they gradually ran out of steam. Warriors climbed all over them for the remainder of the period but only managed one more goal despite the obvious advantage in play. Jim Nickleson scored that final goal and the game ended 6-2. The first place Warriors have regained a lot of the respect they piddled away last year and one of the main reasons for this success is the “rookie line” of Cam Crosby Russ Elliott - Mike Guimond. They have potted 11 goals and 12 assists in 5 league games to date. Guimond and Elliott are the top two Warrior scorers respectively, and Crosby is tied for 4th. The next league game for the Warriors is January 11 at the K. W. Auditorium against Waterloo Lutheran Golden Hawks and then Saturday January 13 against the awesome university of Toronto Blues, the only other team along with the Warriors still undefeated in league play.

Spike .on, spike oh The Athena volleyball squad travelled to Windsor last friday to meet with the Lancerettes and came away with a perfect record after overpowering the Windsor women in three straight games. That victory brought their , season record to three victories and no losses. Of the nine games they played (three against each team), the Waterloo team has won all. At Windsor, a low ceiling meant conscious control of the height of bumps and sets, but the “surprise attack spikes” caught the Lancerettes off guard. Jane Fraser and Debbie Sadler were effective in pounding the ball onto the floor beside and around their opponents. Their flawless record would go on the line against the gals from Western, so the Athenas spent the week busily preparing for their meeting with last year’s national champions. No team has been able to take a single game from the powerful Western team and the Athenas were determined to do at least that. The first two games, although hard-fought went to the defending champions; but the Waterloo women put their determination together with a fine exhibition’ of volleyball to take the third game. Not content with a single win, the Athenas pressed for another victory in the fourth game. A tough battle ended on the fifteenth Western point with the Waterloo girls three points behind at 12. Last tuesday the girls from Lutheran came down ,&he road to meet the Athenas but both teams ’ had little excitement to offer. The Athenas took the contest three games straight and the Hawkettes went home. Nothing exciting, but the Waterloo women are taking each game individually, building up to their next encounter with Western after the holiday break. -kwaz

also been asked in relation to the McGill Redmen. Where do Dies’ interests liewith his team or with an organization which is interested in making money from college hockey players? Though no one at McGill has doubted the coach’s integrity, it is an embarassing position to be in. When contacted december 3, Dies denied any conflict of interest. He also claimed press reports were blown out of proportion.

The controversy came to a head recently with the case of Francois Ouimet, a defenceman at Sir George Williams University, who is represented by Pro Sports. Ouimet recently jumped from the Sir George hockey team to the World Hockey Association Philadelphia team. Because of his position, Dies was charged with interference.

The charges were made last week by Quebec University Athletic Association t QUAA) coaches. Dies is not only the hockey coach at McGill, but is also college representative with Pro Sports Incorporated, a group of lawyers who represent hockey players in contract negotiations. One of its activities is contacting young professional prospects for their business. This involves sending letters to college players urging them, if they turn professional, to make use of Pro Sports’ services. These letters are signed by Dies. Rival coaches have suggested Dies could use his position to weaken opposing teams by enticing their star players into turning professional. The question has

Dies claimed, in reply, that Ouimet acted against his advice and that he is now back with Sir George because of the McGill coach’s efforts on behalf of Pro Sport. However, the damage has been done. The QUAA council has passed a motion calling Dies’ position a conflict of interest. When questioned, McGill athletic director Harry Griffiths implied the QUAA had given him an ultimatum. He reported that the QUAA had notified him they expect him to correct the situation or they will take the matter into their own hands. Griffiths also mentioned he had discussed the situation with Dies but nothing had been decided. It seems Dies will be forced to make a decision on where his true interests lie: with McGill or Pro Sport. However coach Dies said he had made no decision, but will make a statement in a week or two to clarify the matter.

Manitoba’s inter-basin transfer The go-ahead was given by the Manitoba Conservative government in 1968, but a year later they were turfed out of office. The Manitoba plan called for the water diversion of the Churchill River to the Nelson River. The Churchill was not suitable for power electric dams due to its meandering bed which is actually permanently frozen the last three hundred miles to the sea. The permafrost would not support a dam site. Instead it was planned to back up South Indian Lake near Lynn Lake making it one giant reservoir. It would raise- the lake level a full 32 feet. The native popu latipn of the region were totally opposed. The one village, South‘lndian Lake, is the only town in the north without welfare. It is self supporting and expanding thanks to the new fish co-op business, which is totally owned by the native peoples. The proposal would wipe out their IivelihoQd’, would reel them back on welfare. The New Democratic Party opposed the plan but the powerful Manitoba Hydro and the Conservatives said the scheme was necessary for Manitoba’s future. The people’s vote said it wasn’t. However, the story doesn’t end there. The Schryer government has backed down slightly-to Manitoba Hydro, and there is still goihg to be a diversion scheme in which South Indian Lake will be flooded, but by less than a fost. Instead, Lake Winnipeg now has control dams at the north end. This will-allow a constant flow for the Nelson River from two sources, and the major power development at Kettle Rapids, near Gillam, and others proposed downstream will generate not only Manitoba hydro but,also power for export. Early in October, the graduate planning students had an opportunity to visit the Kettle Rapids site and

were told how upon total completion Only some seventy-five men would be required to- nian the plant. The entire operation would be automatically controlled from Winnipeg, 660 miles away. Powerwas also being shipped by direct current for the first time in Canada. Most power goes by alternating current. By using direct current, only two lines would be required to carry the power, and less line Ioss would occur. All this added up to was the fact that power could for the first time be transmitted over very long distances, at less expense. Ontario, in fact, all of North America is -watching the Manitoba experiment, and if all goes according to plan, the northern Ontario water control projects will be shipping power to as far away-as Toronto, New York and Detroit. The grid system is endless. But what about the natives? At Gillam we talked at length with the young Chief of the Swampy Cree band. They didn’t benefit from the power plant, in f&t there was no more hunting, increased drunkeness and no pride in living. The reservoir had destroyed the river valley for game, so now the Indians hunted as scavengers at the local dump. The town’s taxi driver told us how he put 60,000 miles in a single yeardriving the native people to the dump. “I’d leave them there for an hour, then come back and get them. They would have boxes of left over food from the camp at the dam. Sometimes the food was rotten, but they would eat it anyway. Some got sick; some died.” This story told over an exquisite buffet lunch only lessened our appetite. Will this be the fate of the Indians of northern Ontario?

The water plot Harry Achneepineskum of Ogoki, who spearheads the Dam tile Dams ,Campaign and co$ributor to their 12 page publication The Water Plot, is one of the many who are worried. He recently wrote, “For five years now, people in the northeri parts of northwestern Ontario have known that surveys of photo by ron smith-

the water resources in our northern areas have been in progress. In Nakina, in Nipigon, in Pickle Lake, and other communities people have expressed deep concern about this activity. They had reason to belie\je these surveys were ‘connected with plans to divert our waters south to the United States. “Our elected representatives asked questions in the provincial and -federal Houses. Thky- got no satisfactory answers. We were assured this was “just a study”. But people talk to people. Surveyors told people it was a huge water diversion project. It became common knowledge in the north. But we could get no tangible proof.” It wasn’t until late August 1971 that the Dam the Dams Campaign committee had collected enough money to finance an aerial survey of a portion of the region to be affected by the diversion scheme outlined in the government documents. It was only then high above the wilderness of northern Ontario did they see the battle they were fighting was for real. Here is part of their report as documented in The Water Plot: On Sunday morning, August 29, 1971, we took off from Waw seaplane base in a Beaver floatplane, and after refueling at Nakina, proceeded to a proposed mmsite on the Albany River 18 miles downstream from its junction with the Ogoki. We observed and photographed the bush clearings on either side of the river, but could not land because of low wa/ter. We then landed at Marten Falls [Indian Reserve] where. we learned that the clearings were first observed in 1968 and appeared to be about one year old at that time. No residents of the reserve had been employed on this work even though the community is less than an hour away by boat. A 30 year old Ojibway medic at the community of Ogoki said the 200 plus residents of the Ogoki Reserve had been warned that they will have to move to a new land site because of flooding ‘for a hydroelectric water diversion ‘. But he added that the people of Ogoki have no intention of moving or allowing their river to be diverted in any way. We have not been officially told the dams are being built, but 18 miles down river and 20 miles up river the slashing of sites has already been complyted as part of a plan to give water to the U.S. _ “We have learned this is the reason for white men taking samplings and testing on our river. And we have-no intention, no matter the reason, of allowing -any dams to be built.” We then flew 20 miles upstream to another proposed damsite, where we again observed and‘ photographed clearings on both sides of the river. As it was now Iat& in the afternoon and we were running short of fuel, we flew to Pickle Lake where we spent the night. During our stay we interviewed officials of the Ontario Department of Lands and Forests, who showed us mqps of several proposed damsites, and informed us that the work was being carried out by the federal department of Energy, Mines and Resources, whose field crews had been active in the area all summer using unmarked rented vehicles. I We also interviewed Rev. A. R. bhner of the Anglican Church post at Central Patricia - Pipkle Lake area who said there have been rumblings that the community of Central. Patricia would be flooded in a diversion programme, and Pickle Lake would become the major corn-munity of Ontario’s far north. “But in the North, the left hand doesn’t know what the right is doing. We are never told anything. It seems Ontario begins in Scarboro and ends at Etobicoke, ” said Mr. Ohner. Mr. Ohner said he had heard repeatedly that Central Patricia will be flooded in a water diversion programme, and Pickle Lake would be expanded from its present population of 300 to more than 5,000 as a supportive base for the diversion programme. “Here most of us are pretty upset about what we are hearing. We feel that if Canada is going to set1 water to the U.S. it should be done in gallon jugs. There has to be an awful lot of thinking before the course of nature is changed,” said Rev. Ohner. “Some federal people have told us the overall magnitude of the project will dwarf anything ever done in Canada before. And they added studies up

Canadian water is already being sold by the jug so& of the border. It is even available in OUT local supermarkets. rf diversion projects now being planned come about whole rivers will be ‘traded ‘, possibly even given awtzy, to the United States. to now show enough to folio w through with the complete diversion programme. ” On Monday, August 30, we refuelled and flew to the proposed damsite on the Otoskwin River near the Highway overpass. After observing and photographing this place we continued on to Kingfisher Lake. This community is a branch settlement of Big Trout Indian Reserve. Here we spoke with a member of the band council who told us that his band council had never been consulted about any water diversion scheme, although they had heard reports of such things. After we told him what we knew, he was quick to point out the threat such a scheme would hold for his people. Rendered into English, his remarks were as folio ws : “We will not be happy. It will destroy our hunting and trapping lands. If the land is destroyed, we will be destroyed too. The animals in the forest and the fishes in the water are the things that give us life. If they go, what will become of us?” We then flew to Webique [another Indian Reserve in the middle of Winisk River Provincial Park], and spoke to two members of the band council who told our interpreter that the 325 residents of his community had known about the diversion scheme for four years. “We do not like the idea. We will do everything we can do to stop it. We do not want to see our land destroyed any more than it has been by the white man. We too must live. ” He added that men from the government had visited their area this summer and did water level sampling which they claimed were for a diversion programme. ” Their last stop was at Lansdowne House, another Indian Reserve, and again they were told that government officials were around “all summer” checking water and land elevations around his Reserve. After a 1,100 mile trip, and out of money the party returned’to Wawa on August 31.

The latest investigation This wasn’t the last aerial reconnaissance mission to be flown, however. This fall, a CBC Weekend crew went north and covered the same- rivers and reserves. On November 5, 1972 the programme revealed to most of the Canadian public for the first time that, yes indeed, something was going to be dammed in the forest. For two and a half’weeks after the airing of the show the provincial government remained silent; and then only after opposition questions dealing with the diversion project did James Auld, Minister of the Environment, say no diverting of waters would be done until the area was studied. For five or six years now studies of northern Ontario’s water, forests, climate and people have been completed. The studies continued this year. For example, a crash ecology operation over the entire region has

been undertaken. Whether these surveys were to further assist the diversion work, or whether it was to save some unique plant life before the project is started, is not known. The project, nevertheless, was confirmed by some university of Waterloo students directly involved with the project. In december 1971 an increased amount of money was’ allocated for ‘salvage’ archaeology in Canada: This term means the funds would be used for a rapid recovery operation of threatened sites. This usually only means destruction by flooding-in this case, fifty thousand square miles are to disappear under water. The northern Ontario diversion area isn’t the biggest inter-basin transfer plan, however it is the closest, and the one that seems, at this moment at least, ready to be transposed from the drawing board to the field.

Whose northern vision? Current estimates put the United States water shortage at between 50 and 100 billion gallons in 10 years; unless of course other sources are found. This source, in northern Ontario would be ideal. Via the Great Lakes the water could easily be

transported to approximately I two-thirds of the people of the United States. The Great Lakes are the natural waterway to the heartland of both countries. Unfortunately great climatic and ecological damage is bound to occur when such a project is carried out. Some scientists even fear a major imbalance with the marine plant life in Hudson Bay which could still further limit the world’s supply of oxygen. We just don’t seem to know all the answers to the riddles of the north. We haven’t studied it long enough. The development of the north also will be affected. With more clean water, adequate power and a large work force in the south, why put industries in the north? The native peoples again can be the only pawns in this game. They will certainly not benefit. No one does when they are flooded out, or when their livelihood is lost. These people in the remote corners of the province are very self-supporting, they still hunt and fish; they are partly nomadic when following their trap lines in winter. It is obvious from the information acquired by the Dam the Dams Committee, the C.B.C. and from the lack of government information on the hydrological inter-basin diversion plans that the Canadian government is not thinking about the people of the north. When are the people of Canada to be told the full story of the diversion project by the federal government and the Ontario government? Why have the people’s plans and ideas about their north been totally ignored? Isn’t it because the governments are afraid they would be totally opposed? Are the governments afraid of a law’ suit such as the one Quebec natives are bringing against the James ‘Bay Project? Who is the northern vision for? And what are the objectives ? These priorities have to be decided before any northern development is allowed to take place.
