. Arena planners rbeet Burt The members of the Athletic Advisory Board (AAB) found out Wednesday that their ideas about a new ice arena for the university will not be as important as they had thought. President Burt Matthews-the man who is most pivotal on the issue of whether or not there will be an arena at all-told the special meeting of the advisory board that he was really only seeking their advice on two matters: l Does the university need an ice surface? 0 What amount of money and what kind of facility would it be reasonable to ask the students to pay for? “There are really the only two questions to be answered at this time,” he told the group. The answers to those questions-which he hopes to have from the AAB, the federation and the grad society soon-will help him determine whether or not to hold a student referendum on a compulsory fee to finance the building. AAB members had been under’ the impression that their recommendations on the arena would go to the federation, which would conduct the referendum. But Matthews told the MB that he alone would decide-after being “advised” by the three groupswhether to hold a referendum, and what form the referendum would take. He also took no pains to hide from the board the fact that he’ disagrees wholeheartedly with the AAB’s concept of what the arena should be like. The AAB and th athletic department heavily favor a 2,000 to :$OOO-seat varsity-equipped arena wiht two ice surfaces, and expensive project which could .be financed at $10 per suudent per year ‘over a period of 15-20 years. Matthews told the board that he personally favors a user-oriented arena (300-450 seats) which could be paid off within five years. “It’s easy to be delighted about a $1.6 million facility,” he told the members, “but I don’t want to build something like Seagram Stadium where a lot of seats are built at great expense and they’re left empty - 99.9 percent of the time.” He said he had to be realistic about the project and that, as far as he could see, a great majority of the events which would take place in the arena would not need seats. Matthews several times slipped in the phrase “if the referendum is held” and once openly admitted he didn’t really know yet whether or not he would submit the issue to the students as a referendum. Even if the students do vote on the issue, he said, the results would only be fed to the board of governors as “information” rather than being a final decision on the matter. When the AAB proceeded to pass a motion recommending a $1.5 million structure to be paid for by students over a period of 15-20 years at not more than $10 per 4 year, Matthews told them he would

need “serious justification” for spending that much money on seats which would be used less than a dozen times a year. The AAB motion passed unanimously. Matthews told the meeting that he also would have to be convinced that a student referendum held this year should commit students attending the university in the next 20 years to an extra fee. “It is my view that anything beyond five years is unreasonable, since after those five years no one on campus will have had a say on whether or not to pay that added fee.” He was heavily attacked on that stand, with several members of the board telling him that taxpayers and legislators commit citizens to pay for buildings far in the future, and that that is the only way a decent facility can be constructed. Matthews and the executive members of the AAB then got into a battle over grassroots support for the arena when Matthews told the gathering that he has already received the official input from the Engineering Society, which is heavily behind the smaller, 450Sex therapy as a potential seat arena. weapon against homosexuals was Several members of the AAB the projected theme of the Gay then countered that they had Liberation Movement’s discussion received a report from EngSoc Monday evening.

Guldner was not particularly helpful on this but did suggest that one could rely more on younger psychologists in newer establishments. Guldner and his wife have used exactly the same approaches with heterosexual and homosexual couples, as their program involves a high level of concentration on non-intercourse sexual expression. Thus, the discussion was relevant to anyone who is troubled by a sexual dysfunction, and to all interested ‘humansexuals’.

GUELPH (CUP) - Controversy over the control of Guelph’s university centre erupted as a result of the student council’s disclosure that student money for the building would be withdrawn unless students had a substantial control over the operation of the centre. Students’ money will provide 2.5 million dollars of the 6.7 million dollar building. The money, collected in the form of a 10 dollar-per-semester-fee, has been collected from students since a referendum approved a student union building in 1966. The original nature of the building was later changed, and this was approved in 1968. But in 1971 the administration decided to take almost three floors of the six floor building. The students contend that their approval was never asked for. The announcement came during a meeting of a presidential committee set up to constitute a permanent governing board for the centre. Members of the committee are picked by the president, ostensibly with the prior suggestion of the various user groups. A statement released by the executive of the students’ council says that unless the building is controlled by its user groups, and not by the president of the university or the board of governors, the students will with-draw their money from the project. The council also decided to hold a referendum on the use of the student money this session. Administration officials on the presidential committee argued that, since the Board of .Governors is legally responsible for the building, it should exercise final control. One person in the administration said that control should be left in “stable areas” and that students were playing games with the building. “If they don’t like what’s going on, they should take their marbles and go home,” he exclaimed. A motion to be proposed at the next meeting of the presidential committee states that the university administration should be treated as one user group among others. Control should not be vested in the president or Board of Governors.

The necessity of Canadian unions to deal with Canadian workers problems, not dominated by the International or American unions is the biggest reason for the popularity of the C.N.T:U.C.U.G.E. Of all the Canadian unions around, the C.N.T.U.C.U.G.E. is the biggest and most effective. Breaking the barriers of the idea that a “Canadian” union cannot be successful, the C.N.T.U.-C.U.G.E. has been making great leaps forward. The big Interna tional and American unions have paid little attention to Canada and Canadian workers, so especially in Quebec and from Quebec the C.N.T.U.-C.U.G.E. has grown. While these big unions deal only in job issues for their workers the C.N.T.U.-C.U.G.E. has educational and social aims as well as job aims. C.N.T.U. organizor Bill Morrison mentions “that the ideals of the Canadian workers are higher than those in the Internationals” Canadian workers have a right to control themselves rather than being controlled by the internationals. For those still being controlled the result is a disjointed Canadian working class. The International and American unions do this not only by their structure but also by their use of the members’ money to break Canadian unions. These Internationals break the Canadian unions because of the threats they present as Canadian workers realize they are controlled from the outside. ,These big International and American unions, with their supposed solidarity and strength, do not operate as workers’ unions but as big business unions, not only controlling the money but the application of strength. The control of these unions is in the hands of the executive, not with the rank and file. A good example of this control is the DARE strike. The striking United Brewery Workers are in the Canadian Labour Congress (the Canadian extension of the AFLCIO) and have felt the ineffee tiveness of this organiza tion. With a strong-rank and file and a good strong set of issues to fight over, the strike picked up solidarity right from the beginning. Various unions and sympathizers supported the strike and it had the strength to win. The C.L.C. executive promised that the strike would be won but the- weak activities of the executives showed that they have no strength in a strike. There was no direct action at the plant supported ‘by the executive, no sympathy strikes, and no real defence for the workers. Now union decertification is in the process. (Too many unions and not enough unionism. ) The UAW has proven that control of the expressions of solidarity by the union executive squashes rank and file solidarity. A group from the Douglas Aircraft local went down to the Artistic Woodworking lines and were consequently a few minutes late for work afterwards. The company found out why they were late and fired them. The reply from the union executive was to file a

unions labour grievance. The rank and file decided to get the workers in immediately and had a sick day which nearly shut down the plant. These examples prove that solidarity in the hands of the union executive is completely against the militancy and solidarity which is to be found these days. This squashing by the union bureau keeps not only Canadian workers apart but all workers. There is no international president in the C.N.T.U.C.U.G.E. to play ball with the capitalists. Solidarity in the union is rank and file solidarity and the rank and file run the show. There is no decision from the top in this union as compared with the international unions. This is a wise and essential move as the control is always there no matter who is away. The C.N.T.U. is a council of eleven federations of labour divided by job,-woodworkers, miners etc. This structure is much the same as that of the Industrial Workers of the World even though the C.N.T.U.-C.U.G.E. is still working with elected shop representatives, who are practically powerless considering the large number of responsibilities. While the big Internationals deal with the bosses’ government the C.N.T.U. practices direct action. Thus when the leaders of the union ‘were in jail during the Quebec general strike the rank and file kept the union going and organized the demonstrations that got the leaders out of jail to go to meetings. The C.N.T.U. has officials but unlike those in the Internationals they have little power because the power is in the hands of the rank and file. This control is essential as the workers from the start control themselves. The C.N.T.U.C.U.G.E. branches out from. job control to community affairs. The -union operates food co-ops, credit unions, a central bank, and a housing co-op. The banks lend money interest free and through the housing co-op you can build a house for $84.00 a month. While corporate profits go up and wages stay low these co-ops deal with capitalism today. The C.N.T.U.-C.U.G.E. feels that the need for specialized people in the union is essential. They feel that the complexities of the battle between the bosses and labour is a good place for the professionals from university to put their understanding to work. Lawyers, doctors and economists can all be employed by the union; working for the people may not be as profitable but-the self satisfaction is far more valuable than the money. The C:N.T.U.-C.U.G.E. is growing because the members are running their lives for themselves and organizing themselves for themselves. The help of professionals has created in everyone a feeling of unity as workers and as friends. The union has its own house factory and operates its own summer camp, and along with the co-ops the union deals effectively with both job control and community organization. -joe

-Getting that student vote The Senate Executive Committee met last Monday to draw up the agenda for the November 19th Senate meeting. The committee chairrjnan, as usual, was university president Burt Matthews and the token student was the recently elected Ian Robertson (former president of environmental studies student society). Also present, though not as voting members were executive assistant of the Federation of Students David Robertson and the Federation president Andrew Telegdi. The reason for their presence, no doubt an aggravation for Matthews, was to ask the executive committee to recommend to Senate that the president of the Federation of Students be considered as an ex-officio member of Senate. The U. of W. Act, passed by the provincial legislture in spring 1972 gives all ex-officio members voting rights. The Robertson-Telegdi claim is “complicated based on a paragraph” in the Act that allows Senate to appoint, from time to time, ex-of ficio members. Having justif ied their (Robertson-Telegdi) presence, the motion was ope’n to debate. Matthews asked committee members “to pass this (motion) on to Senate a recomwith or without menda tion.” Professor Watt was disturbed by the student request because he felt that if such a motion passed in Senate then there would be no “limitation to the number of voting members”. He based his point on the ‘fact’ that the dean of St. Jeromes had made a similar request and was turned down. “One would have to increase Senate by ten to fourteen members to maintain the balance of power in favour of the faculty administration, ” Watt concluded. After this striking example of academic wisdom, vice-presient academic Dr. Petch added that there is a “proper route for the president of the Federation of Students to follow” : he should be elected. Of course Petch could not be bothered with the fact that it would be virtually impossible for one person to run for two positions at the same time: that of -ration president and student senator. The permitted student vote on the committee Ian Robertson expressed his concern that being the holder of two positions the president of the Federation of Students, could not represent two elctorates at once (the campus wide and specific faculty). What, in essence, would develop would be a “conflict of interest”. This was a point that Petch did not agree to, as his personal view of ‘democracy’ would let a representative of the students to disregard his immediate electorate, and be just a senator with’ no need to communicate with the faculty that elected him. Such a scherrjle would allow the president of the federation to hold both

positions as it did not matter whether or not he represented anyone. Professor Bennett elaborating upon Petch’s uniques idea of the democratic process asserted that “parliamentary democracy was quite compatible with the idea of a student holding two offices and two different representing electorates” . Perhaps it is adequate and not at all radical to point out that if the U. of W. Senate is supposed to be the ultimate of ‘parliamentary democracy’ it should start to meet, at least, the minimal requirement: that of basing membership not on vested interest as is the present case, but on population. Such a change would give the student s a significant role in the decision making process. But to wait for the benign administrators to implement such an idea would be quietism. The final outcome of the meeting was that the executive committee would pass the motion on to Senate with the recommeridation that no action be taken. -john

More on abortion (CUP)-The MONTREAL Morgentaler trial took a positive turn for the defense when Judge James Hugessen agreed to accept Article 45 of the Criminal Code as a valid basis for the defense. Under this article, Dr. Henry Morgentaler may contend that he is tintitled to immunity from criminal responsibility on the grounds that it was medically necessary for his physical and patients’ psychological health that he perform the abortion for which he is now on trial. Morgentaler is facing the first of six charges for performing illegal abortions. The crown is basing its case on a specific abortion performed in his clinic August 15, the day the Montreal police raided his clinic and seized his files. One of his patients on that day is the main witness for the prosecution. She is an unmarried, twenty six year old foreign graduate student in the Montreal area who testified that she needed the abortion because neither she nor the fatherto-be could afford to support her child. Also, she did not want the public shame that accompanies an unwed mother and illegitimate child. Two of the Montreal hospitals she contacted for an abortion asked for ‘fantastic sums’ and the other two could not give her an appointment soon enough. Morgentaler had been recom-

mended by a staff member in one -of the hospitals. The defense is now trying to establish the necessity of that abortion. The first witness called for the defense was Dr. Bourne, head of the Maisonneuve hospital in Montreal. He admitted having referred women to Morgentaler for abortions on the grounds that if they were determined to have abortions then they would be best treated by Morgentaler. He maintained that Morgentaler was the best in his field. with a When presented “hypothetical situation” by the prosecution, the details of which cor1 esponded exactly with the present case, Bourne said that he would have recommended the woman for an abortion. Dr. Maurice Jobin, a doctor who has been actively fighting for the repeal of the present - abortion laws, testified that many doctors refer .women to Morgentaler for abortions. Furthermore, the majority of the abortions performed at the Montreal General Hospital are accepted because of the conditions in the women similar to those described in the prosecution witness. The registrar of the Quebec College of Physicians and Surgeons, Dr. Augustin Roy, described Morgentaler as a member in good standing. No major complaints had been made about him. Once again, the Prosecution presented the ‘hypothetical case’ and Roy agreed that he would have referred the woman for an abortion. He added that he had received a letter from Morgentaler inviting him to come inspect the clinic in preparation for legal approval of the clinic. However, because of the trial, they had to postpone the inspection. The long term consequences of not aborting a woman who wishes it are often very damaging, including psychosis and the possibilities of suicide, according to Dr. Mackay, a psychiatirst and director of professional services at 1’Hopital Riviere des Prairie in Montreal. The effects on a child that a woman has been forced to bear are also severe, the doctor testified. began his Morgentaler testimony on Wednesday as the last witness for the defense. He stated that he had performed between 6,000 and 7,000 abortions in the past few years in his clinic. In the present case he considered the abortion “necessary and indispensable”. He felt that if he had not performed the abortion the woman would have sought “a charlatan or attempted selfabortion”. “I decided that it was in the interest of her health to do it,” he said. The results of a questionnaire that Morgentaler sent to doctors and organizations who had referred women to his clinic showed that only 70 women out of more than 5,000 had developed complications. He first began performing abortions in late 1968, he said. “Once having made the decision to do so, I was determined that none would be refused for financial reasons.” ’ In the present case, the woman testified that she had been told that the price would be 200 dollars. However, she told him she had only 80 dollars, he reduced the fee to 150 dollars and offered to accept a post dated check for the remainder. “I only did my duty,” he said, and added that he did not have “the least regret” about having performed the abortion.

-S - on campus3 Thanks to the work of the birth control centre, about sixty people heard John Nash speak last Thursday night about how men and women use sex as a bargaining power. In a short talk that ranged from growing up through to marriage manuals, Nash brought out a few points that the listeners had not heard or considered before. For the purpose of his talk, Nash defines sex as a set of interactions that can be said, implied or even perceived and that lead to eroticism or arousal. He also gave a capsule comment on todays society-we are concerned primarily with happiness, people lack involvement and work to avoid involvement, the youth culture has invaded all the age groups and people bargain for their sexual partners. From here, Nash jumped to the role identification process of childhood. Between the ages of three and seven, children become aware of which sex they belong to and they also can provide a fairly good description of exactly what the society expects of each sex. Men are described as large, strong, and aggressive ; while women are supposed to be pretty and small. Men are looking for their partners while women are only attracting their mates. Nash defines a well adjusted person as one that can do without sex, someone who does not need sex to get along. After a few more vaguely related comments Nash began an explanation of psychic space. Everyone needs a certain amount of psychic space and when this space is invaded the person reacts peculiarly. From here, Nash jumped again, this time into male-female definitions and the invasion of those definitions. Women can wander into the male adjectives much easier than can a male wander into the female. Men give ‘themselves much less room to manouver than women do, they cannot move outside their assigned role. Then he quoted a survey done on the Waterloo campus, which put some damper on the idea that the men are “getting it” all the time. One third of the men questioned had made love to more than one woman in the last six months; another one third had made love to only one woman in the last six months; and the last third were virgins. A comparative study done with women revealed that six per cent had made love with more than one man in the last six months; thirty per cent had made love with only one man in the last six months; and fifty-six per cent were virgins.

chevron ‘--

According to Nash, most people still prefer to get married,’ with men choosing less educated and younger women from lower in-come groups. This means that the more educated a woman becomes , the less likely she is to marry. The marriage market gets smaller as she becomes older, and more educated. The opposite happens to the man. As he ages the marriage market becomes larger and the chances of marriage increase. Finally Nash tried to tie it all together by talking about the principle of least interest and the use of sex as a bargaining power. The principle of least interest states that anytime one person is less involved than the other, they then have the bargaining power in the relationship. They have the least to lose. After a few questions people began to leave and the group was dismissed. Nash did invite anyone that was interested to speak with him after the meeting.

Gays fight for rights TORONTO (CUP) - An ambitious five pronged program to increase the rights of gay people was passed at a weekend conference of the Gay Alliance Toward Equality (GATE>. The areas outlined for work are federal, provincial, high school, campus and media. In the federal sphere, a resolution passed which continues GATE’s participation in the national Gay Election Coalition. GATE spokesman Ken Popert said, this means GATE will attend candidates’ meetings and lobby to push for pro-gay positions. Provincially, GATE moved to pressure the Ontario Human Rights Commission into setting up the study group to document the nature and extent of discrimination against gay people. On campus, GATE wants to write into the new university discipline code a clause stating that there should be no discrimination based on sexual orientation. Popert revealed his group will also be approaching the law schQ.pl with two thoughts in mind: to get legal assistance from sympathetic law students, and to try to inform law students of some of the discrimination gay people experience at the hands of some courts and some lawyers. GATE will also be approaching Metro school boards, according to another resolution, to try ta_ get them to allow gay speakers to appear in high schools. Popert claimdd that while North York has it in writing that no gay speakers are allowed, other school boards may have an unofficial policy. GATE’s program -to tackle this problem consists of going ‘to both the school boards involved and also writing to the various high school departments. One resolution which got heated discussion but was rejected almost unanimously, Popei;t said, was a move to have GATE restrict its effort to mens’ problems alone. That rejection simply reaffirms GATE’s policy of dealing with both men and women, Popert said.

Headless man returns 30 Waterloo Avid Radio Waterloo buffs on campus and in the community have no doubt been concerned over the last few weeks to discover that their favourite station has been beset with broadcasting difficulties, and has sometimes not been able to transmit at all. An exclusive chevron interview with radio Waterloo representative David M. Assmann revealed some of the facts behind the current difficulties, which, according to Assmann, are merely a by-product of improvements now being made to the station’s broadcasting capability. Of the problems being encountered due to the renovations, excessive background noise is probably the most critical. The noise is the result of the installation of concrete walls inside the station’s facilities in the Bauer warehouse on the university’s north campus. In addition to the walls, heating ducts and air conditioning are also being installed. The improvements, which arti being jointly financed by loans from the federation of students and the university administration, are

the first stage of an overall plan to improve the service provided by the station. The second stage, which will probably begin sometime next week and continue after the main tionstruction is completed, involves electronic work being performed by Radio Waterloo personnel, and will include the rewiring of all circuits for the transmission of stereo.

Impeachment by accbmafion It appears as though Waterloo is. not the only Canadian university plagued with student government hassles. An editorial from the University of Victoria’s Martlet (October 11) reveals that political “dirty tricks” are the order of the day in sunny B.C. as well. The Victoria University of Representative Assembly, it should be noted, recently espoused modern idealism via it’s having a woman as head-executive. Lois Flavelle, president of the studentbody government, proceeded to get herself acclaimed communications director as well-a post which, among other duties, was designed to organize student electoral procedures ! The wily Ms., confident that such pluralism would go unnoticed by Victoria’s student body, then organize her own “banana academy” election in which student representatives for the assembly would be chosen. The editorial cited below gives a grim picture of a situation that students in the ‘70’s have accepted

only too quietly.

student body, at least under normal circumstances. With the present trend toward election by acclamation, no candidate was going to start a campaign until he was sure there would be someone to run against. So if a candidate was very well prepared he could start to put up the few posters he was allowed to make Wednesday. Thursday and Friday students would start drifting off campus. Who wants to be stuck around here when there is turkey and cranberry sauce at home.?

Voter turnout is supposed to depend on the weather; in this election it doesn’t really matter whether Lois Flavelle meant to bungle it or not-the election was a disaster. As communications director she is responsible for the timing and general organization of the elections. She is also responsible, for counting the ballots. Perhaps this last fact unduly influenced the way she organized the election. The best way to ensure a poor voter turn-out is to hold an election at Christmas or during the summer vacation when absolutely noone is on campus. I suppose Thanksgiving would be about the next best thing-wouldn’t it. The nominations closed Tuesday afternoon. The candidates were to be allowed to campaign until the following Monday afternoon. A week should be a reasonable time to put a platform before the

No-one was on campus Monday because the University was closed. The regulations stated that the posters had to be down by 4 p.m. Monday. However, the buildings were all locked all all day. This meant posters had to *be taken down on Friday if they were to comply with the regulations. Monday the Flavelle sisters were running around tearing down posters and threatening to

disqualify candidates. That seemed like a sensible thing to do; -blame someone else. To make sure that people realized that there was an election even if they didn’t know who was running, Lois put up posters. Incidentally these posters were in gross violation of the very same general poster regulations that Lois had been enforcing earlier, by being grossly oversize. Lois also arranged the times polls would be open. Tuesday afternoon for three and one half hours and Wednesday morning for three and one-half hours. Was their rationale that if you didn’t have classes Tuesday afternoon you were bound to have some Wednesday morning? If the conversation I had with one poll sitter was any indication this could very well be a record turnout-on the low side. Colin Hart stated the time ne worked a poll they were averaging 14 voters an hour. After the polls closed it was not

“a place to find a gift worth giving” I come to --

possible to get even an estimate of the number of people who had turned -out to vote because the returning officer-also Lois -Flavelle-was not available. She had a class so the ballots could not be counted until after dinner, although the polls closed at l2:30 p.m. I’m surprised more than one candidate was allowed to run for each position. It would have been much easier for her if all the candidates had been elected by acclamation. Election by acclamation is a phenomenon that Lois knows well. She was elected to the position of Communications Director by acclamation. Isn’t it a shame that there isn’t some sort of ‘device like impeachment by acclamation? Maybe Victoria and Waterloo can set up a programme of interuniversity studies on a similar theme-say “studies in Arbitrary Government: a Modern Phenomenon”. Derek Osborne

receiving end of two perfectly thrown passes from Brownhill. On Tuesday night, semi-final play saw the two Kinesiology teams battling it out for a berth in the finals. Kinesiology led by the excellent scrambling and passing of quarterback Bill Dalliday, overpowered the Jocks 24-8. Al Schweger and Chuck Post each caught two touchdown passes as Dalliday effectively threw to all five receivers. Paul Bagnarol played outstanding in a losing cause. In the other semi-final, a well organized St. Jeromes Squad stuck it to the 69er’s by a 21-18 count. In a tremendously physical contest the Bagbiters must be commended for their constant refusal to retaliate to the frequent display of dirty play by the 69er’s. The intimidation tactics used by the 69er’s were no match for the well balanced attack of St. Jeromes. Star of the show was undoubtedly John Doyle, who made*a number of key receptions, two of them for touchdowns. Aito Baccarani scored the other Bagbiter major and also added a convert.

In flag football quarter final action, the 69er’s, with two touchdowns from Peter Crawford, crunched the CCFU’s 22-2. Dean Mucci also scored a major for the victors with Bob Johnsqn adding three singles. Pat Mullen booted both singles for the losers. In another quarter final game, the miracle workers from St. their Jeromes continued domination of Intramural sports, with a 29-O bombardment over Reg. Math. Pacing the attack was Dave Hoover with two touchdowns, Joe Drozdz with one, and Rick Cuipa accounting for three singles and a safety. Number one ranked Kinesiology put up a strong defense in thwarting Vl East’s attack, allowing a mere two singles. East managed only two complete passes against the stalwart Kin defense. The Kin attack, however, failed to keep the ball ’ moving, but managed two majors in winning 16-4.

Warriors ldefeat Mm ,

(

Last weekend the hockey Warrior’s suffered duel defeats at the hands of the Michigan a highly ranked Wolverines, American team. In the first of the two contests with was held on Friday evening the Warrior’s were dropped to a 6-2 defeat. Warrior goaltender Doug Snoddy played a remarkable game in net allowing only six goals out of 53 attempts. Michigan connected for their first marker on a two on one break in the last minute of the first period. In the second period Warrior’s Hawkshaw scored a power play goal on a three way pass from Guimond and Elliott. Michigan accounted for two more goals before Warrior’s Jim Nickelson retaliated on a good forechecking play with Barnes and Fielding. Michigan looped one more to leave the score at the end of the second period 4-2 in their favour. In the third period Warrior’s powerplay proved to be disorganized and unproductive on several occasions, leaving them scoreless, in that period.- The Michigan forwards caught the Warrior defence of fguard allowing for two more Michigan goals, ending the game in a 6-2 win for the Wolverines. Warrior goaltender, Doug Snoddy, was selected as third star in that game. In the second match on Saturday night Jake Dupuis saw action in the Warrior net, stopping thirtynine out of forty-four shots: Michigan collected three goals in the first period leaving Dupuis little chance on all three shots. As Michigan had dominated the first period, the Warrior’s took possesion of the secondscoring two quick goals at the half way mark. Nickelson collected the first marker on a power play with assists going to Stubel and Barnes.

Eighteen seconds” later Barnes took possesion of the puck on the faceoff and skated through the opposition scoring an unassisted goal. This left the Wolverines with only a slight edge of 3-2 at the end of the period. Early in the third period the Wolverines came back with a goal to make the score 4-2. Warriors had their chance to get back into the game on a penalty shot awarded to Mike Guimond. The attempt was made to the lower right hand corner of the net and was kicked away by goaltender. Bill Dewey. Michigan scored immediately following this attempt with their final goal of the game. Warriot’s Lee Barnes responded one minute later for his second goal of the night, on a pass from Nickleson, poking the disc between the goaltenders legs. The game finished in a 5-3 victory for the home team. Waterloo’s Jake Dupuis was chosen as second star for his performance in this game. On Wednesday night the Warrior’s played their first home league game against the McMaster Marlins. The first period showed the beginning of a fast, hard hitting contest, with Waterloo taking a 2-l lead on goals by Barnes from Nickleson and Elliott from Guimond on a powerplay. The McMaster goal was scored on a deflection off a Warrior player The Warrior’s further asserted their strength by. collecting two additional markers. The third Warrior goal was scored by Mike Guimond on a pass from Elliot. Peter Kallio netted the fourth goal. Although seldom tested in this period Warrior goaltending and defense proved quite successful. Early in the third period the Marlins attempteda two on one break with Dupuis making a good save. Warrior’s captain Mike Guimond tipped one in over the goaltender’s should to collect his second goal of the night. The Marlins came back a minute and a half later with their second and final goal of the game. Before the period ended Warrior’s managed to net two more goals with Barnes and Hawkshaw collecting the markers to give the Warrior’s a 7-2 vie tory. -1iskris

Athenas finish

-. second Last weekend at the OWIAA finals in Guelph, the Waterloo Athena field hockey team compiled a record of one win, two ties and one loss. The previous weekend at Waterloo the Athenas managed two wins and one tie, giving them a total of nine points for the series. This was enough for a tie with the McGill team for a share of second spot. The University of Toronto girls finished in first place for their eighth straight title. In the opening game against a strong York team, the Athenas fell behind 1-O early in the first half, but rallied and replied with two goals before the end of the half. Wingers Wendy Gray and Marilyn Woods scored the Waterloo markers. The Athena defence was then able to hold off any further scoring threat from York and the Athenas won 2-1. Later in the day during a torrential downpour, the Athenas challenged a hot cold Queens. team. After the Athenas had taken a 2-l lead the Queens girls came on strong and scored three unanswered goals. Final score of the game was Queens 4 and Waterloo 2. In a tight contest against McMaster, the Athenas managed to combat the weather and take the lead 1-O. McMaster then scored off the bully immediately following the Athenas goal. Brenda Eckhart scored Waterloo’s only goal. The final game of the season for the Athenas was against the powerful University of Toronto team. During the first half all the breaks seemed to go in favour of the Toronto team, but due to the strong defensive work from the fullbacks, and especially goalie Beth Huether Toronto ended the first half with only a goal advantage over Waterloo. In the second half the roles were reversed as the Athenaspressured the Toronto team and capitalised on a Toronto miscue for the tying goal. This was center forward, Sue Hamilton’s seventeenth goal of the season. The final outcome of the

game was a l-l tie. The strong showing of the Athenas was not only due to good team effort, but also to the excellent coaching from coach Judy Moore. -heather

Varsity polo tournevs

The University of Waterloo Warrior waterpolo team is preparing for the upcoming Waterloo Invitational _ meet. Coached by Norm McKee returning warriors include, John Mahoney, Jim Quince, Jim Swartman, John Bakelaar, Art Skolnik and Craig Cutton. The Warriors compete in a league that includes teams from McMaster, Western and Guelph. Each team sponsors a tournament on two week intervals during the fall term. The first two tournaments at Guelph and McMaster are history and Waterloo is host for the third competition this Saturday afternoon. Western is the last , tournament site before the playoffs and finals at McMaster Dec. 1. , McMaster is the powerhouse of the league, as Hamilton is the center for the Canadian national team, having six or seven national members on their squad. The Warriors were soundly beaten by McMaster in their only meeting this year, but, this defeat will be avenged Saturday if McMaster can be held to half as many goals as they scored last time. .The Warriors have played and lost twice to Western. Both games were quite close, the Warriors had a faster side but were unable to finish most of their offensive efforts. In good water polo possession of the ball should lead to a direct shot on net. The Warriors, beat Guelph in exhibition play but managed only a tie in their one tourny meeting. The Guelph team is noted for its good goal tending. Increased effort on offence and continued great goaltending, (goaltending is the Warriors strongpoint) should lead to a Warrior victory over Guelph on Saturday.

Swim results good The University of Waterloo swimming Warriors and Athenas held their first meet of the season last Friday called a chocolate bar meet. The meet is designed to see what shape the swimmers are in after two months of training. Prizes were in chocolate, as you might have guessed. The outstanding Athena was Maida Murray who won all four of her events. She won the 200 yd. freestyle in 2 :09.1, the 100 free in 1:00.4, the 100 backstroke in 1: 11.8 and the 200 breaststroke in 2:05.5. Sister Marg Murray took firsts and two seconds winning the 200 individual medley in 2: 38.7 and the 200 backstroke in 239.5. Judy Mathieu won the 50 free in 29.2 and the 50 yd. butterfly in 31.9. Maryanne (Boots) Schuett won the 100 breaststroke and tied a lifetime best going 1:20.5 and then turned around in the 200 breast and broke her lifetime best which she did at the provincial championships by a whole second going 2:52.6. Andy White broke her lifetime best by winning the 400 free going 5: 37.0. Outstanding swims by the Warriors were done by Dave (Rookie) Wilson winning the 50, 100, and 200 free in 23.8, 53.1, and 1:59.0 respectively. Eric Robinson won the 100 and 200 back going 1:03.4 and 2:19.4. Mike Hughes took the thrilling 100 fly from Louis Krawzyk going 59.0. Randall Phillips took the Warrior 100 breaststroke going 1: 10.1 while Doug Munn took the 200 breast with a judges decision over Randall going 2: 36.9. Other good swims were by Ian Taylor who did his lifetime best in the 1000 free going 11: 14.5 and Tim Wilson who came second in the 100 free going 53.2, four big seconds faster than his previous best time. The amazing thing about the meet is that everyone did their personal best time this year in at least one event. With this in mind Coach Graham has high expectations, but warns the swimmers extra effortshould be put into starts and turns. He also admits they are well ahead of last year at this point in time. -eric

The Uniwat curling club is an athletic club within the intramural department, that combines recreation with social events as well as competition for both men and women. Every Monday and Thursday evenings between four and six p.m., the recreational league is active at the K-W Granite club on Agnes street in Kitchener. Instruction is available for beginners, as well as good, competitive curling in a social atmosphere. Anyone in the university community is invited to come out and join the club. In the past five years that the club has been functioning, the participation has been very good with seventy five to one hundred members each term. In conjunction with the intramural department, the curling club sponsors a mixed intramural bonspiel along with a men’s intramural bonspiel,. These are competitive bonspiels aimed at satisfying inter-faculty, division etc. rivalries on campus. Trophies are presented to the winners and the events are usually followed by a social evening and pub. In addition to the intramural activities, the club organizes a varsity competition for men and women. The varsity teams that represent the University of Waterloo are selected after a series of playoffs during the fall and winter terms. This year Waterloo will be co-hosting the western division of the O.U.A.A. playdowns. This event takes place on February 1st and 2nd. The curling club also sends representatives to many other curling bonspiels, as well as hosting the annual University of Waterloo Invitational Bonspiel. This mixed bonspiel will be held on Sunday November 11th.

bonspiel

Twenty-two rinks, representing many of the competitive units on campus, participated in the annual Intramural Co-ed Bonspiel held at the Glenbriar curling club this past Saturday. After three draws the bonspiel closed with the presentation of trophies and prizes. The team from lower math won the bonspiel and recieved the Fisher trophy. The team consisted of Ron French, Bob Gerrard and Gayle Bower. The top two game winner was a team from Mechanical Engineering skipped by Dave Roepke. Others on his rink were Dayle Bower, Don Roepke and Lorna Heuchert. A Civil Engineering team skipped by Jim Currie and Steve McKelvie won the award for one game high winner.

Mixed

bonspiel

The fourth production of this annual mixed Intercollegiate bonspiel will be held on Sunday November 11, 1973 at the K-W Granite Club. This Intercollegiate event has become quite popular among the University curlers in the past two years. This year sixteen rinks from most of the Universities and Colleges in Southern Ontario have entered. They will be competing for the ‘President’s Trophy’, donated by Dr. B. Mathews, President of the University of Waterloo. The University of Waterloo is the defending Champion this year, placing in the top four positions in the 1972-73 event. Uniwat will be trying its hardest to retain position of the ‘hardware’. Strong competition is expected from the visiting rinks. Last year’s O.U.A.A. and O.W.I.A.A. Playdowns saw excellent curling and strong even competition from all those schools represented. Most of the top rinks and individuals from those competitions are expected to arrive in Waterloo for the Intercollegiate Bonspiel next week-end. The University of Toronto is well represented, as is Trent University, McMaster, York, Ryerson, Mohawk College and Seneca College. Other entries are expected from W.L.U.j Guelph and Western. The Granite Club will be open for visitors and spectators when the first draw goes on the ice at 1 p.m. on November 11th. ‘

Coach Bob Graham has been known to work his swim team hard during the swimming season. He instilled such a desire to win, that some competitors have been known to shed a tear or two if they don’t win. ‘“‘ _e..../jll. -I .I

’ Terrorism: The struggle in Derry comes to London by JOP McGill

The most recent developments in the struggle in Northern Ireland have been witnessed most vividly by those walking the streets of London. With, in the eyes of a sensationalist press, an outbreak of terrorism on English soil the existing indignation felt by the English for their “provincial” countrymen has grown to open national hostility. Jon McGill, writing from, England, analyses the situation from that perspective and while criticizing an unprincipled press discusses the political direction visible in the context of urban guerrilla warfare.

fresh-faced London Simple, innocent, was shocked on a sunny afternoon in August, 1973. A shrine of the market-place, Dickins and Jones department store in the heart of Central London, was rudely jolted from its profitable routine by an explosion and subsequent fire. Shortly after that initial incident, several more West End stores were “victimized” by what was quickly , labelled “terrorism”. Small incendiary devices were found planted in various areas, with varying degrees of explosive success. The so-called “bombs”, which were not in fact, bombs, but fire-causing cigarette-packet-size flame throwers, were immediately attributed to the vague British catch-all enemy-the IRA. Despite denials from both the Provisional and Official wings of that group, the media continued to delight in verbal thrashings of the “lunatic” threat to the British public. There was no threat, nor is there now, to the “public”, unless one counts monolithic enterprises as the representative and manifestation of the ordinary citizen. Political reaction was typical and predictable. Cries of: “We British will not put up with this,” were heard from the. usually staid House of Commons, though the use of the royal “we” went unnoticed. As more and more incendiaries and bombs were found, or exploded, the outrage grew. The assumption of Irish guilt was seldon questioned, and ensuing Gestapolike raids upon peaceful Irish sectors of London were questioned even less. * Now * that the appearance and occurrence of the “terrorism” have subsided, virutally disappeared under a shroud of non-information, it is time to examine some features of these events. At least, one would think it time to investigate. However, no one seems concerned . Irish sources issue denials, Scotland Yard continues covert arrests, public slumbers and the “outraged” peacefully in its collective apathy. Terrorism, in the hands of the IRA, provos and officials, has always been poorly executedthough often spectacular as in last February’s London bombing-and overwhelmingly unsuccessful. Indications are now being given by the Provisionals that they do indeed bear responsibility for the latest events, though the directives were issued by small “cells”, not by the general council. In that case, the conclusions to which the British media leapt were correct; but correct or not, there can be no excuse for the irresponsible manner in

which the puppet press stirred nationalistic hatred and bitterness. The IRA was quickly transformed into the “Irish”, and the Anglo-Irish have suffered. The cells at whose feet the blame has ostensibly been laid are a relatively new phenometion in Irish republican tradition. Similar in form to the FLQ cells (equally victimized by an infantile press) the cells have created problems for the Provisionals. No longer can they claim any central control over the efforts of their organization. That lack of control is yet another in the list of tactical failures of both provos and officials. The fact that such terrorist tactics are in vogue at all is more than ‘a tactical failure. The Irish republican movement has lost all contact with its traditional roots. Its original philosophy and guide to action owed much to James Connolly, through him, Karl Marx. Over the past fifty years with Connolly and leaders of his mould dead, and the marxism of former leaders buried with them, Irish hopes for a coherent movement within the necessary framework of social reconstruction have collapsed. The degeneration into “terrorism” (and terrorism of this kind is, for marxists, a degeneration) is a last gasp, the death knell of a republicanism which could once have been the first major step to socialism. , The IRA, like it or not, must bear a large part of the blame for the fragmentation of essentially -unified class interests 1 Terrorism, within Ireland and without, is a denial of class movement: in the words of Leon Trotsky, it “belittles the role of the masses in their own consciousness’ ’ . In this movement towards the “propaganda of the deed” Irish republicanism further in its moves alienatfdri from socialist roots, and closer to anarchism. The avowed purpose of present IRA activity is the removal of all British influence and interference from Irish soil. A

worthy purpose, in fact, worthy of the Connolly’s, the Jim Larkin’s. At this time, it is, however, a purpose without aims, for the civil war which, in some minor or major form, must result in Northern Ireland, can only shatter even further an already shaky class movement. The struggle for Ireland can achieve something worthy of Irish tradition, if and only if the self-avowed “patriots” put away their anachronistic nationalism and give some thought and energy to the task which history and the peculiar Irish situation has set them: the unification, not of a vague, mythic Ireland, but of ,a real, concrete class interest which can offer the realization of a social dream. It is unfortunate that the inherent interests shared by both the British and Irish working classes are once again being torn asunder by a government and a press more than eager to dispel unity wherever it, rears its threatening head. The shattering of windows, collapsing of walls here and there, is a small price to pay in order to foster the unnatural rift in a class which is, by nature, homogeneous. El

For many years, the Irish Republican, Army was a rather isolated force, illegal, dedicated to the obliteration of the border and little else. In attempts to recover the six lost counties, they fought a number of futile campaigns against -the British. At the beginning of the Sixties, however, the movement took a turn to the left. A new policy emerged which identified the bourgeois government in the South as being as much a part of the enemy as the- British, insisting that reunification of Ireland must be part of a socialist revolution North and South of’ the border. In the South, the IRA pursued a policy of armed social action: attacking large and foreign landowners, protecting fishing grounds from foreign exploitation, and assisting strikers. In the North, however, the IRA faced a dilemma. Its base was the Catholic population, but its new policies. prevented it from strongly pursuing a campaign of nationalistic antiProtestant activity. Consequently, an attack in August, 1969 on the Catholic sluindwellers of Belfast by a Protestant mob caught the IRA there unprepared: not enough guns, and not enough organization. The result was a split away by most of the Republicans in the North, and some in the South. The politics of the new group, the Provisionals, were simple: guns, God and nationalism. The Provisionals effectively abandoned the socialist attitudes of the Official IRA, and have successfully sustained a formidable armed struggle against the British and Ulster ruling elite. They obtained large quantities of arms [some through sympathizers in the government in the South], and there is little question majority . that they have the overwhelming

chevron

of the grassroots support for republicanism. But it is not only the IRA who have turned the situation into a classic war of national liberation; it is equally the British army and Protestant extremists. Over 16,000 paratroopers are now located in Northern Ireland, and although the Protestant ultra-right B-Specials have been disbanded, many of its former members have joined the Ulster Volunteer Force, the Ulster Defence Regiment and t&e Royal Ulster Constabulary. In August 1971, the British government introduced Internment, a sort of Irish War Measures Act, but the effect appears to be the reverse of what was intended. Since Internnient, the Provisionals have had more support than ever; there have been more intensive attacks on the army at every level, as w&l1 as on civilian targets [shops, government buildings etc.]. Belfast is a city under siege. In Derry, the army is still kept out of Bogside [the Catholic ghetto], except for occasional lightning raids. The people have organized committees to defend the barricades day and night, halt looting, keep streets clean and lit, etc. The IRA enforces its own justice: tarring and feathering of girls who go out with English soldiers and men who loot or steal from the poor, execution of informers. But problems of unemployment and poor housing are aggravated daily, and now social security benefits are tiften cut off or refused to women whose husbands are interned or on the run. The IRA tries to look after its own. Every day there are bank robberies, mail-van holdups, etc., and the money is used to feed the people. Their organization grows.. . . . The resources of the British troops seem to be infinite: guns that see in the dark, armored tanks and ferret cars, tear gases, etc. IRA members have weaponry of World War II vintage, but- they live among the people, choose their own ground to fight on, and disappear after an attack. In parts of Belfast the walls are painted white so that soldiers show up at . night; the snipers are taking their toll. But the resistance is not only militaryand that is the main reason it cannot be crushed. As of February, some 25,000 Catholic families we& officially on rent and rate strike-refusing to pay.. taxes to local authorities, many of which now have no income. The provincial government has retaliated by sacking the few Catholics on the public payrolls and enacting a law so that debts to the government can be deducted from wages and social security [welfare] benefits. But morale among the Catholic working people has never been higher. Children of six or seven talk of their hatred of the British troops in a cool and unemotional tiay. Wives of internees have not resigned themselves to the fate of their husbands; many have joined women’s action groups. And the older people, who have waited a long time, can see freedom on the horizon.

. DES: Quality control for cattle, not for women. by Kay Weiss,

from

MS. L

In the past three years, about 200 young women have been admitted to American hospitals with a rare type of vaginal or cervical cancer that was almost unknown before 1970. The only thing they had in common was that while they were still in the womb, their mothers had been administered diethylstilbestrol (DES), a synthetic estrogen, to prevent possible miscarriage. Between 1945 and 1965, the drug’s peak period of use, DES was given to several million women despite the fact that its effectiveness in preventing miscarriage was questioned. (I t’s unclear how DES was supposed to prevent miscarriages .) Many of the women were not given a choice about taking the drug. As one woman put it, “When I began spotting in early pregnancy, my doctor told me that I might lose the baby if I did not take DES. I told him that I had always spotted in early pregnancy, and that in any case I preferred to let nature take its course. He insisted that I must not allow a miscarriage and that DES -. would be a gentle addition to my own natural estrogen. supply.” The offspring of that pregnancy developed vaginal cancer when she was 14 years old. She died at 17. Her case is not an isolated one. Many women were subjects of DES experiments. Every ,pregnant woman who registered at the Chicago Lying-In Hospital between 1950 and 1952 was automatically entered into a DES-in-pregnancy study, and 840 women were given the drug. This study was conducted in an effort to compete with the research of a physician at a Boston hospital for women. This Boston physician had given DES to 675 pregnant women in a cooperative program with 117 obstetricians in 18 cities around the country. The women were told only that DES would help insure a “strong, healthy pregnancy.” In 1958, in an article in the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology (Volume 75), it was stated that there was “no statistical evidence for the value of stilbestrol therapy,” yet physicians continued to give DES to pregnant women. Since the results of taking DES are usually not detectable in the offspring for from 10 to 20<years, no one knows how many more cases of vaginal cancer will come to light in the 1980s and 1990s as the daughters of women who have taken the drug reach puberty. If the cancer is detected early enough, they will live. If not, they will die. It is not known exactly why DES affects the vaginal linings of the daughters of women who have taken DES. One of the functions of natural estrogen is to renew the uterine and vaginal linings cyclically by sloughing off epidermal cells. Perhaps the introduction of synthetic estrogen

during the fetal stage causes changes in the developing epidermal cells, which result in precancerous conditions in some fetuses . During puberty, when the flow of natural estrogen in these female offspring begins, the cells begin multiplying, and the cancer enters its stage. at propagation (Researchers Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston have also established a connection between DES and the development of uterine-lining cancer in women who have taken the drug. See Cutler, et al, in the New England Journal of Medicine, September 8, 1972.) What is known is that not all cases of vaginal cancer have been reported to the National Registry of Clear Cell Adenocarcinoma in Young at’ Women, which was set up in 1972 Massachusetts General. Few doctors are testing for the disease, and not all are reporting the cases they find. When Charles Edwards, Commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration, was asked in November 1971, why he did not alert those young women whose mothers had taken DES during pregnancy to have immediate medical examinations, he responded that the FDA had to be “careful...not to create an emotional crisis on the part of American women.” The Department of Drugs of the American Medical Association concurred: “An organized effort by the medical profession to inform all women who were given estrogen therapy. ..of the possible tragic consequences for 1 the female offspring is of questionable advisability.. .a determination of risk must await the...reports of hospitals, physicians, and tumor registries .” The “no need to worry” doctrine too often means that the doctor does not know how to give, or has not even heard of, the Schiller test for vaginal cancer. (In this test, the vaginal walls are coated with an iodine stain to detect cancerous cells.) Although irregular bleeding is a symptom of vaginal cancer, women with this complaint are often treated with birth-control pills. If these women have undiagnosed vaginal cancer, the administration of more estrogen in birth-control pills is extremely dangerous. Estrogen has long been known by medical science to speed the growth of genital cancers. It wasn’t until 1971 that the FDA warned physicians against the use of DES in pregnancy. In August, 1971, the-New England Journal of Medicine also stated that “there should no longer be doubt that synthetic estrogens are absolutely contraindicated in pregnancy.” Yet the June, 1972, issue of the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynekology still advocated the use of DES for acne in pregnancy. (Besides the “an-

timiscarriage” uses, DES has long been prescribed for acne and thinning hair, for premenstrual tension, as hormone replacement for aging women, and to dry up the breast milk of new mothers who did not intend to nurse.) And in 1972, sales of DES by Lilly, the major pharmeceutical supplier, increased -by 4 percent, totaling nearly $2 million. This rise in use is partly due to the fact that DES is the only ingredient in a new drug, the “morning-after pill,” which, when taken within 72 hours after intercourse, is supposed to slough off the uterine lining in such a way as to prevent implantation of a fertilized ovum, thus preventing pregnancy. Ironically, while prescriptions for the morningafter pill-although then unapproved for this use by the FDA-were reaching an all-time high, American scientists, journalists, and interest groups were engaged in a national outcry against the use of DES as an additive in cattle feed. The FDA was permitting DES to be fed to cattle because it made the animals fatten on less grain, thereby saving cattlepeople $90 million yearly. For nearly 10 years, scientists had been protesting this use of DES, because&r animals given 20 milligrams a day, DES causes cancerous tumors. But not until the first eight cases of vaginal cancer were reported in 1970 did anyone have clinical evidence that exposure to DES residues (which were showing up in beef liver in barely traceable amounts) could and might cause cancer in humans. In response to these reports, House subcommittee hearings were called in 1971 to investigate the use of DES in cattle feed. Scientists testifying at subsequent Senate hearings to get.DES out of beef described it as a chemical of “bizarre and far-reaching properties, chief of which is that it is a spectacularly dangerous carcinogen,” and that the minute amount present in beef liver, three-tenths of a microgram, was “too high a concentration for -such a powerful cancer-causing drug? In August, 1972, the FDA banned DES from cattle feed, but did not ban the 250-milligram dose of DES for women in the new morning-after pill. Any woman who takes the 50-mill&ram dose daily for five days, which constitutes the ‘morning-after-pill, is ingesting 835,000 times the amount of DES that the FDA has declared “unfit for human consumption” in beef. When some concerned women formed a group called Advocates for Medical Information and visited FDA officials in late 1972, they charged that millions of women were being given a /I

Journal of Fertility and Sterility (Volume II), more than 90 percent of women who have unprotected intercourse do not conceive; they would therefore have no real need of a morning-after pill. The tragedy is compounded since the morningafter pill is only 60 percent effective in preventing according to estimates made by _ pregnancy, physicians with* Ralph Nader’s Health Research Group. In October 1971, an article appeared in the Journal of the American Medical Association which .established the popularity of DES as a morning-after pill by informing physicians that DES was 100 percent effective in preventing pregnancy. But investigations (by Advocates for Medical Information on the campus where the study of the morning-after pill’s effectiveness took place) revealed that a large number of the women students in that study had not been followed up to determine if they had remained pregnant. lf a woman is more than 72 hours pregnant when she takes the morning-after pill, it will not abort the embryo she carries, but that embryo will have been subjected to 40 times the amount of DES reported to have caused vaginal cancer in some female offspring. If women are not informed of its cancer-causing potential, they will not know that they should consider a therapeutic abortion if the pill fails. Endometrial aspiration (a simple safe, painless procedure for early abortion) could be performed on those-few who prove to be pregnant. But it is easy to see why endometrial aspiration is not being offered-to millions of coeds. Nader’s Health Research Group claims that universities are receiving grants from the National Institutes of Health to research various aspects of the morpill. The amount of money received, ning-after and the prestige awarded to the researchers, gives many institutions ulterior motives for not providing endometrial aspirations. Once again, women all over the country-this time college coeds , through their college health centers - are being entered into experiments, without their knowledge, to test the effectiveness of DES. If researchers informed each woman of the alternatives to the pill as well as possible side effects, as federal law obliges them to, few women would choose to take it. Where private gynecologists are concerned, it is often easier to push a prescription across a desk than to spend 20 minutes performing endometrial aspiration. Many women turned to the morning-after pill when adverse side effects made them stop taking birth-control pills. “I thought it was manna from heaven when my doctor told me there was a morning-after pill available,” said one woman. “I

finally went off birthcontrol pills because I had so many problems. Then a friend pointed out to me that taking the morning-after pill is like taking a twenty-four months’ supply of birthcontrol pills .” Excessive amounts of estrogen have been associated with serious side effects for many women. Thromboembolism, headache, accentuation of latent diabetes, nausea, and depression are among the more commonly known. If a woman experiences serious side effects from taking one-half milligram per day of estrogen in the birth-control pill, she risks dangerous ones from the 250 milligrams in the morning-after pill The Advocates’ survey of 80 women who took the morning-after pill showed that virtually all had experienced severe nausea. Many were unable to keep down the 10 pills in the series, and some stopped taking them. Yet none were. told that unless all pills were taken, pregnancy would not be prevented, and another fetus would be exposed to DES. Even worse, the morning-after pill is being given to a generation of young women whose mothers may have taken DES during pregnancy. These “DES daughters” may have precancerous conditions or undiagnosed cancer. Rather than testing these daughters for the presence of cancer, doctors are prescribing more DES in the form of the morning-after pill. Few women are asked their family medical history before being given the morning-after pill. Experts in hormonal cancer at the National Institutes of Health, Doctors Roy Hertz and Mort Lipsett, have stated that “DES is such a powerful carcinogen that it is used as a model for producing artificial cancers in animals.” Other physicians have stressed that all estrogens given at comparable doses and for comparable lengths of time as DES would cause the same carcinogenic effects (by accelerating the growth of cells). Yet the Center for Population Research of the National Institutes of Health is currently awarding contracts to university health services and family-planning agencies to test the effectiveness of other estrogens in place of DES as a morning-after pill. If the FDA were less protective of the profits of. large drug companies, and the medical profession were less eager to do competitive research, we might assume that neither would want to repeat the mistakes of the 1940s and 1950s with a new DES drug. Nader’s Health Research Group commented, “The story of the morning-after pill gives chilling witness to the recalcitrance of the FDA, the medical profession, and the drug industry to learn from tragic experiences .” cl

On the Waterloo campus, students are lucky enough to have anheir disposal Health Services and all that they can supply. One of Health Services specialties is biih control and family planning-which means they also handle the “morning-after-pill”. The Chevron talked to head nurse Shirley Gutenburg at the clinic on Wednesday of this week to clear up some misunderstandings that may have arisen out of this article. Gutenburg explained that Health Services started using the morning-after-pill in the fall of ‘71. Until the fall of ‘72 the pill they prescribed was the one containing diethylstilbestrol [DES], however, they are presently involved in a research project with Western University using morning-after-pills with no DES. The change-over to the new drug was made early last fall. DES is taken in twenty-five pills over five days and the new pill is taken in only five pills over the five days. This. second pill is also a hormone but Gutenburg insists that it does not contain any DES. The research is only a couple of years old and there is no information available as to the longterm effects of the chemicals. Gutenburg, for this reason, will only prescribe the drug once per person. It is considered too dangerous to have more than once in your lifetime. Before allowing a person to take the drug even that one time, Gutenberg examines the woman’s medical history looking for any problems. Blood diseases or a history of blood diseases, or in fact any irregularities’mean that the woman has to be seen by a doctoror at least her case has to be dealt with by a doctor. Gutenburg also tries to determine what the actual chances are of a woman being pregnant but it is almost says, “we talk about a safe time-but a myth. The chances are always considered to be fifty percent”. So if the woman makes the decision to take the drug, Health Services also tries to persuade the woman to consider a birth control method to avoid future troubles. Gutenburg informs the women of the possible immediate side effects but says she cannot tell people about the future since she does not know herself. If the woman does decide to wait and see if she is really pregnant, and it turns out that she is, she can then go again to Gutenburg to ask for assistance in obtaining an abortion. Health Services refers women to both Toronto General Hospital and a clinic in Buffalo. However not all the doctors at Health Services will do this-if they think abortion is morally wrong they will refuse to assist a woman that wants an abortion. The choice is left up to the doctor-Health Services does not have a strict code in this area. The following statement was issued by the Health Services director, Daniel Andrew in cooperation with Gutenburg: Health Services is sympathetic to the fact that unwanted pregnancies occur. We believe that prevention is the best policy. One-third of our physicians’ time is spent on birth planning. If a patient has to wait a few weeks to see a doctor, we will supply free of charge enough birth control pills to protect the patient until she comes to see the doctor. Health Services does pregnancy tests.‘A first morning sample of urine is required, and the results are ready that day. In the case of a positive test, an abortion ‘can be arranged if the patient ‘wishes it. Following an abortion, use of a contraceptive is strongly advised. If the pregnancy test is negative, contraception is w discussed with the patient, and strongly advised. The morning-after pill can prevent pregnancy if started within seventy-two hours of intercourse. If the morning-after pill is requested, contraception will be discussed with the patient. We at Health Services are concerned, for our patients. It is reasonable that the patient should show concern for herself. Some patients return a second time for an abortion or the morning-after pill. This often shows a lack of concern by the patient or else a strong desire to become pregnant. If this is the case, Health Services refuses to collaborate on an abortion or use of the morning after pill for a second time. Where does one’s responsibility begin?

A local of the Canadian Textile . and Chemical Union has been on strike at the Artistic Woodwork Company for over two months now. Management has attempted to continue production of picture-frames and scabs have been imported for this purpose. Consequently, the union has maintained a picket line at the two locations of the 23 Densley St. and 140 St. company, Regis Crescent, every morning since the strike began. During this period there have been over seventy arrests of workers and sympathizers on the picket line. . They have been charged with criminal offenses ranging from mischief and trespass to assault and intimidation. Several people on the picket line have been injured, one woman having had five teeth knocked out. Although charges have been laid by strikers and other individuals against both police and scabs, there have been no arrests made by police of anybody not on the picket line. The situation of the Artistic Woodwork strikers is a classic illustration of the function of a picket line in a strike and the way the law and the police may be used by management to destroy it. In practice picketing embraces a wide range of activities. The picketers may limit themselves to merely observing workers, scabs or customers; they may attempt to communicate information to them as to the existence of a strike, they may go beyond this and attempt to persuade them not to aide the employer by working for him or doing business with him -using placards, speaking, shouting and persisting despite refusals to listen; they may go beyond mere persuasion to where their behaviour amounts to a threat scabs and customers to workers, through their mere presence, by physical violence, social ostracism or economic boycott: or they may engage in actual assaults, destruction of property and the physical blocking of entrances and interference with traffic. The recent strike at the Chrysler Corporation of Canada with its nominal picketing contrasts sharply with that at Artistic Woodwork and shows how picketing activities may range from one extreme to the other on this spectrum. It does not require any expertise in the increasingly obscurantist disciplines of the psychology and sociology of industrialrelations to understand the reasons why picketers may behave in such diverse ways, Over 100 years ago, a Royal Commission on Trade Unions in England reported in 1869 and explained it as follows: “It is alleged that instructions are given to the pickets to confine themselves to a mere representation of the case of the union promoting the strike, and to use argument and persuasion only, without resorting to violence, intimidation, or undue coercion. “Although such instructions may be given, it is hardly in human nature that pickets, who are interested parties, and who are suffering the privations incident to the strike, should always keep within the fair limits of representation and persuasion, when dealing with men whom they see about to undertake the work which they have refused, and who may thus render the strike abortive.” The essential function of picketing activity has thus been long since established. It is almost entirely the logical consequence of a strike: its nature varies with the success of a strike. The more successful a strike is in shutting down a plant, the less activity is required on the picket line (see the Chrysler strike), and conversely, if a strike does not succeed in stopping production the picket line becomes vital as the only activity likely to make the strike successful. The law has recognized the critical connection between picketing and strikes. The seminal case of Lyons v. Wilkins in 1896 contains the classic position of the common law on picketing activity: “Some strikes are- perfectly effective by virtue of the mere strike, and other strikes are not effective unless the next step can be taken, and unless other people can be prevented from taking the place of the strikers. That is the pinch of the case in trade disputes; and until Parliament confers on trade unions the power of saying to other people, “You shall not

Strikes and the, laiv by Bill Connors, work for those who are desirous of employing you upon such terms as you and they may eventually agree upon”, trade unions exceed their power when they try to compel people not to work except on terms fixed by the unions. I need hardly say that up to the present moment no such power as that exists.” In essence, the law has remained unchanged since that classic statement in 1896. There have been statutory provisions enacted by legislatures which purported to grant a right to picket, but these have never amounted to the right to prevent scabs from working. They have been confined to rights of conveying information and peaceful persuasion. Where these do not suffice, the union faces the choice of allowing production to continue, or attempting to make their strike effective through an active picket line. Many court cases have been concerned with the difficulty of asserting that a right to picket does exist while acknowledging that giving any substance to such a right implies a breach of the law. Where unions have attempted to devise other weapons of industrial struggle, the courts have cut them off. For example, in 1963 the Ontario Court of Appeals declared the secondary picket illegal in the case of HerSees of Woodstock v. Gold-

stein: “ the right, if there be such a right, of the respondents to engage in -secondary picketing of appellants premises must give way to appellant’s right to trade; the former, assuming it to be a legal right, is exercised for the benefit of a particular class only while the latter is a right far more fundamental and of far greater importance, in my view, as one which in its exercise affects and is for the benefit of the community at large”. In Ontario, picketing activities, like murder, arson and rape, are governed by the Criminal Code. Section 381(l) prohibits effectively any picketer from doing any of the following activities to the boss or scabs in order to strike ef-’ fective: (a) using violence or threats to person or property; (b) intimidating anyone by threats of violence or punishment to persons or property; (c) persistently following anybody from place to place; (d) hiding any property, or depriving anybody of it or hindering them in the use of it; (e) following anybody with other picketers in a disorderly manner on a highway; (f) besetting or watching the place where anybody resides, works, carries on business or happens to be; (g) blocking or ob/ structing a highway. Doing any of these things amounts to a

criminal offence punishable on summary conviction by fines and/or imprisonment. As for the right to picket, the law frames the substance of that right as follows in the sub -section following these prohibitions: (s. 381(2)) “A person who attends at or near or approaches a dwelling house or place, for the purpose only of obtaining or communicating information, does not watch or beset within the meaning of this section.” The role of the police, therefore, as the enforcing agency of the law, is essentially to prevent picket lines from being effective. Their function is to prevent anybody on picket lines from threatening, intimidating, following, blocking or obstructing any scab or person engaged in breaking the strike. In addition to the arsenal of criminal prohibitions contained in s. 381( 1) there are numerous other criminal offenses which may be used by police: mischief, trespass, assault, etc. All these have been used by the police to break the picket line at Artistic Woodwork. In addition to their function as enforcers of an anti-picketing law, however, the police have an independant strikebreaking effect. First, they, the representatives of “law and order” are inevitably identified with the management and the strike-breakers against the pickets who are thus automatically turned into law-breakers. Their constant intervention on the side of management and scabs has a very ’ damaging effect on the morale of the strikers, who see the scabs taking away their jobs and getting protection from uniformed authorities. Secondly, their frequently violent physical intervention in breaking through picket lines is often intimidating to workers and their supporters. The situation is simply that of a thin line of workers being advanced upon by a large body of disciplined uniformed men; the workers know that any physical resistence at all will be unlawful and may lead to arrest, something that does not apply to the police who may use all-‘reasonable’ force to break the line. There have been numerous cases of excessive use of force by the police in the Artistic Woodwork strikewhen 50 police charge into the same number of strikers, one is entitled to ask whether the aim of merely clearing a path has not been superseded by that of destroying the morale of strikers permanently, in addition, of course, to breaking the line in the par_ ticular case. For both of these reasons it is not surprising that management has every incentive to manufacture incidents on the picket line that will lead to police intervention: driving empty cars through the line and most recently attacks by scabs from within the plant have characterised the strike at Artistic Woodwork. Finally, while all too ready to enforce the criminal prohibitions against picketers, there is no effort to protect the limited rights granted them. The right to communicate information is denied when pickets are prevented from approaching a car by being held back by police. The police appear to hold the view that the only inf$ormation to be conveyed is that of the pickets existence. Thus Regulation 18 (3) (f) (i) of the Metro Toronto Police Handbook dated June 13, 1963 states: “NO MASS PICKETING only,a number sufficient to show that the plant is being picketed”. There is nothing in the law which indicates any prohibition against mass picketing; and abviously pickets need -to attempt to persuade scabs not to enter the plant, which requires more than merely having a line in evidence. The restriction by police on the already limited right to picket is totally unjustifiable. The reason for it is, however, obvious. Experience of past industrial struggles has been that only mass picketing is effective to overcome the bias inherent in the law and police activity against a strike. When hundreds of strikers and sympathisers picket a plant peacefully, both management and police suddenly evince a reluctance to break the picket line, or to intimidate its members. Only in these circumstances does the right to picket become real.

Sanity and Imadness In the last week, the university has been exposed to two films, Wednesday’s Child and Asylum, inspired by the revolutionary ideas of the maverick English psychiatrist, R. D. Laing. Asylum, the subject. of this review, is an intense documentary filmed in the therapeutic community of Kingsley Hall in London. This and several other similar communities in London working class areas were established or inspired by Laing . Laing’s first book, written when he was twenty-five, The Divided Self, explored the disordered patterns of communication in the families of people diagnosed as schizophrenics. His careful, sensitive analyses made it clear that in these families, schizophrenia was the most sane response to an insane situation. In later works, Self and Others, The Politics of Experience, and Knots, Laing has extended his analysis of the double-binding, communications of a schizophrenogenic family to a socio-analysis. He sees society as mad-demanding forms of external behavior estranged from the reality of our internal experiencing. The film itself is introduced with a twenty-minute monologue by Laing, in which-borrowing from a recent work by Thomas Szasz, another major critic of the psychiatric establishment-he compares the violence of psychiatry to that of the Inquisition. The psychiatrist who labels aberrant patterns of behavior as schizophrenic is likened to the “pricker”, an important professional person during the Inquisition. The “pricker” was a highly skilled person whose apprenticeship required several years of intensive training. His task was to stick pins into the bone marrow of suspected witches and to listen to the quality of the screams elicited- from the suspect. Since only one bewitched could endure such pain, the “pricker”was to distinguish between the “false” scream and the “genuine” one, the former revealing a witch. Laing suggests that the psychiatrist’s task in his search for mental illness, is just as mythical and is similar to the inquisitor’s search for witchcraft. The psychiatrist inflicts “non-injurious torture” through drugs, institutionalization, painful shots or ECT, on persons suspected of mental illness and detachedly observes their reactions. Those patients who do not believe in mental illness are themselves clearly mentally ill, as nonbelievers in witchcraft were obviously witches (shades of Catch-Z!). I was struck by Laing’s own rather mad reactions while imparting this informationgiggling while describing the “pricker’s” excruciating insertion of pins or the early treatment of insanity bydunking-chairs which often drowned patients. On reflection, such a mad reaction is, perhaps, appropriate to a description of such mad behavior. The remainder of the film, approximately 90 minutes, is devoted to a behind-the-scene s documentary of Kingsley Hall, the therapeutic community established by Laing and his colleagues of the Philadelphia Associates (literally “brotherly love”) in 1965. The community provides a safe place, an asylum, where people can be free to live fully, the experi.ence of madness. Psychiatrists, ‘people interested in taking part in a communal experience, and people sharing “mad” behaviors live together in a community in which the usual role definitions and authority structures do not hold. Laing himself lived in Kingsley Hall for only a year, finding the physical and emotional .pace too torrid to maintain. He has, however, remained a staunch supporter and frequent visitor. Appropriately , he appears in the documentary portion of the film for only a few seconds as a silent observer of a group discussion. The documentary was filmed by Peter Robinson and a camera man who lived in Kingsley Hall for six weeks. At first, there

. the

are a number of brief, disjointed scenes of the aberrant behavior of a number of the Hall’s residents. Soon, however, the viewer is drawn quite ‘naturally into the life of the community, and begins to catch brief glimpses of the most intimate interiors of the residents’ experiencing. One is struck with the manner in which the film reinforces some of Laing’s basic constructs. At only two points do we see parents, but in both cases their behavior and communication patterns are very Laingian: Collinwithdrawn, eyes averted, silent-whose fortyish mother is being interviewed regarding Collin’s possible residence in the community. She is coy, flirtatious, seductively exhibiting a leg throughout the interview. Poor Jamie who is totally incapable of making a decision, who is weak and inadequate, has an extremely competent, articulate father. The father is puzzled by Jamie’s lack of masculinity, but makes all his decisions and does everything for him, including hiring a girl to “build up his confidence”. He briskly rejects a communication from a resident that Jamie may resent his managerial interference. The two “maddest” people in the community, in conventional terms, are the ones who showed the greatest change

object-a habit apparently acquired quite early in medical training. The film is a powerful one. Viewers’ reactions ranged from stunned surprise at such raw exposure to madness, angry ‘irritation at apparent rejection of intellectual approaches to human problems, sympathy with the aims of Kingsley Hall but a disbelief that the residents were actually living them, to a rejoicing at further evidence of the dawning of the revolution. I question the extent to which the film will convert viewers who have not previously been exposed to Laing’s thought, but there is no questioning its emotional impact. -jeri wine

the juiciest part,and he makes the most of it, hamming it up as the hippest drop-out and drug-out musician around. He often crosses the line between acting and caricature, but his easy-going and natural manner make his portrayal of Elmo a pleasant enough diversion. Shelley Winters is also thrown into the cast, but its never quite apparent why: her part has absolutely nothing to do with the story and the scenes between her and Segal seem to be nothing but time-killers. Mazursky’s script, which tells the story of the couple’s meeting, marriage and break-up in flash-backs, is probably the only interesting way in which to tell what is basically a quite mundane tale, and bY his selective use of flash-back scenes, he manages to get in some very telling slaps at the Southern California rad-lib lifestyle and modern marriage. The ending ‘of the tale, alas, is a very disappointing selllout to the Hollywood Dream as he teasingly offers, then rejects and finally settles for the music-filled romantic resolution of all the sticky issues he has raised in the course of the film. On balance, the few powerful or pointedly funny scenes - Ansprach finding Segal in bed with his secretary, the unpossessive Kristofferson finding himself instinctively becoming possessive-make the film worth seeing, due to the absence of any American films which take on the complex questions of love and possessiveness, relationships and commitment. -gs

from beginning to end; and, remember,’ the entire documentary was filmed in only six weeks. Julia, a young girl, makes a schizophrenic journey regressing to early infancy and being nursed back to adulthood by community residents. There isn’t the slightest doubt of the reality of this experience for her, or its therapeutic effect. David is the other conventionally mad resident ’ who irritating, non-stop talking, which is often incomprehensible “word salad”, is a constant counterpoint to everything else in the film. At the end of the film, David is responding to an interviewer’s questions in a perfectly straightforward, sane fashion. Laing strongly believes that a schizophrenic experience may be a cleansing growth experience, an opportunity for the reuniting of the inner with the outer self. There were several points at which I felt the Hall residents who were psychiatrists responded to other residents’ behaviors in inappropriate, non-helpful ways. For example, I am certain David’s psychiatrist fed his crazy, non-stop talking while the more direct confrontations of the other residents elicited direct, sane responses from David. In connection with this point, I might note that the craziest person in the film, in Laingian terms, was a medical student, a visitor to the Hall on several occasions. He had developed the medical man’s habit of talking in the presence of a patient. as if he were not there, or as if he were an

nearest woman, or both; granted that many of the scenes are cop-out cheapshpts and that the ending is a cop-out in the worst Bob and Carol and Ted and Alice tradition; and granted that George Segal plays cute a bit too much, as usual, and Kris Kristofferson plays everything a little too loose...... Well, granted all that, Blume in Love (at the Capitol) is still one of the most sensitive and intelligent films to deal with human emotions and modern relationships to come out of the United States in a long while. Paul Mazurskywho wrote, directed and acts in the film-has a good ear for dialogue, a fine sense of pacing and knows how to create a mood for his purposes. If many of the scenes are cop-outs, still there are several scenes which are humanely and wildly humorous and scenes which are powerfully and sometimes painfully moving. Segal, as the narrator who cheats on his wife but still loves her and can’t understand why she leaves him, plays a character who is hard to identify with or feel sorry for. But Mazursky manages to keep Segal under control throughout most of the movie. Susan Ansprach, as the wife, also has a difficult part to make much out of-the obligatory rape scene and (of course) going to the same shrink as Segal after the break-up of their marriage. Singer-composer Kris Kristofferson has

Birney is a singer who has altered his song in the last decade and unfortunately for Canadian poetry, the art form ‘has suffered. It is ironic that in the .beginning he did so much to influence verse which could be respected outside of our own country. It used to be able to hold its own. In the The Cow Jumped Over The Moon he gives away most of his new credo. “So in the end, my talk about poetry returns to the reading of it, to the word as a spoken art and an act of brotherhood. It’s true I go on writing poems, sending them out to editors, bringing out new books, using the visual couriers of speech. Indeed in the last fifteen years I’ve become increasingly interested in the appearance of my poems on the page, in illustrative drawing, in the patterning of single words photographed and presented as a colour slide, or in the fusion of type and drawing-the world of what is loosely called ‘concrete’ poetry. The ‘shapome’ . ..interests me now .” what’s so big about green? is a modest, moddish, little volume to look at. After reading through it, one finds its appearance has been in no way deceiving. It fails on two counts that really matter: technical and poetical. My copy of the book betrays a bad glue job. Already it has fallen apart. The cover photo is blurred and not nearly as striking as the promotion picture copy. The insides are for the most part .a let-down. The pages are bursting with overflow poems from dated notebooks which apparently did not quite measure up to the earlier and more successful Rag and Bone Shop. There is an index, messy and careless, of the contents but there is no pagination. Every second line is one tone of the bile green of the cover with the occasional word outlined in the same hue. . There doesn’t seem to be a colour pattern. The poem “there are delicacies” is almost unreadable.

,‘kbcktail capitalization and punctuation is as erratic as that of Emily Dickinson. But even she had a : pattern. It is impossible to read the poems through the first time and keep the breathing straight. With four exceptions:, “the Vancouver”, “adagio”, shapers: “the Zlst century belongs to the moon”, and “a small faculty stag for a visiting poet”: they do not warrant a second reading. The circus animals trotted out have been in hibernation since Birney’s last book. He is still making noises out of his travel notes, pollution and nuclear threats (which he seems to have just discovered), the great Canadian cum Hegelian cocktail chatter “the take over versus the give away” to our southern its cousins, history and irrelevancy to the country’s elusive mythos, bad poetry readings and academic unresponsiveness to them (Layton take note). There are a couple of just-for-the-hell-of-it poems. Some work will make sense of “Like Christ brawl luvn Peace today” and “me-lax man itsa gif” (although Mark Orkin in Canajan, Eh? has the last word on this business). Occasionally even a reasonable and succinct phrase squeezes through the five hundred verbal bog: “Hail! years/of near-beer British/& ’ sour-wine French/united in building Unamerica/without speaking to each other/” but the event is so rare and undistinguished that it does not warrant the wait. It is like

wanting to fly DC 747 and having to go to Windsor on a Greyhound. No amount of good humour or fair play will make “Beriberi Kitch Kitchmess & a Grippy Dew Near” *anything other than nonsense. Birney has made Canadian poetry a bad joke. He has not sold out; he has traded in. Like McLuhan and the boys he seems to be saying that the poetic forms which we have in this country fail for the imwhich the mediate purposes poets and the public have set for them. There is no denying that the novelists have the front lines on our mythos. Anyone who reads “Canadian” must see this and the possibilities of such would fill analysis volumes. But like McLuhan, the archetypal hypocrite to our literary culture, Birney continues to stamp over his past and present us with this token rubbish. (McLuhan has gone so much further. He has a corporation, patent and copyright to cover such fun and profit enterprises as playing cards with McLuhan aphorisms on them.) Jack McClelland was right in calling this the age of the Canadian rip-off. There doesn’t seem to be a culture-motivated knight in sight to slay the dragon either. These poems of Birney’s aren’t even good visual experiences, assuming that is part of poetry’s business. Except for the first one, “daybreak on lake opal: high rockies” there is not even a good pictograph in the collection. Fraser Sutherland has written that Birney is doing for his art what the great Russell Drysdale did with paint and canvas. Now, now Fraser. Look again! Besides, bpnichol and bill bissett have

captured that market. They thought they stole it across the border from the ugly Americans years ago. Really the Americans were done with it as modern American poetry will show. But what Canadian has time to read American poetry anyway? Birney’s poems don’t work in their childish experimentation. “mcsimpton’s annual boat excursion to nanaimo june 1949” and “to swindon from london by britrail aloud” are as embarassing to read through as they are to hear their creator

sing-song his way through them. A ‘tour de force’ an other-wise good professor has called them. Hum-m-m-m-buggery, sir. Birney himself introduces them by saying that he cannot read them the same way twice. Surely one of the first rules of poetry or the printed word for that matter, is that it must communicate. When it fails to do this in print, then it is the artist’s responsibility to find another form. This is where Birney cheats. If the form doesn’t work then abandon, it. Gi.ve us a: new one but don’t ravish the one we have. James Reaney and Jay MacPherson have already done so and to their credit. But then they never tried to be popular. Birney’s refusal to lie still now that the Muse has deserted him for a younger generation is admirable by some. But it is humiliating to see him stumble. One-cannot help but draw comparisons to his noble contemporary titans like Smith, Everson, Glassco and. Scott (who recently lapsed when he published The Dance is One, a collection of third rate poems). This book by Birney should appal1 critics. They should not allow him to play by ear, since we know the range of his past skill. Nor should he be allowed to sit on the keyboard-to get attention or a laugh when our poetic culture is on such tenuous skids. Collect, select and then go gently leaving a legacy behind. We will not forget that he once was a great Canadian poet and no amount of dress-up and hep talk will smother that reality. The chinks of light do shine

through occasionally though. In a good poem “the shapers: Vancouver” he writes: “we are lost for a way/for a line/bent for the mere eye’s pleasure/a form beyond need/is there a rhythm drumming from vision?/shall we tower into art or ashes?/is is our dreams will decide/we are their Shapers” He writes m another poem that “There are maggots in my bones” and yet in another one written too much to formula for our controversial cultural problems (What can you expect of a man who now puts down “Canada: A Case History” and rewrites it to comply with his lengthening locks, white beard, natty Eatons’ clothes and ‘righton’ outlook?) Birney concludes: “I accuse Us/of celebrations without cause/of standing not moving/in passionate urgency/towards the real civilizationithere may just be time/ to glimpse before our species/ crawls off to join the dinosaurs/“. Now that could be poetry and the “word-doctor” knows it. The wisdom and power of the man poet sneaks through in spite of the bell-bottoms and the proclivity to say “Fuck” and “Balls” in a way which convinces us that the words are not his nor this brand of poetry where it’s at. Gregory Bateson, the wellknown anthropologist-biologist, and R.D. Laing, the English psychiatrist,, formulated a fancy psychological theory called the “Double-bind”. A classic case of the double-bind would involve the mother who asks her son for demonstrations of affection that would require him to betray some other crucial relationhis love for his father or sister for instance. In other words, the double-bind places a person in a situation which has no practical resolution. If we are serious about this leviathan called Canadian Literature one of the places where we must start, is to call halt and stop to the double-bind which our writers keep putting to us. It is time to start demanding standards. Four poems out of twenty-five are not enough, Mr. Birney ! Regarding what’s so big about green? take Cohen’s advice: “cavet emptor”. This emperor has no clothes-at least none that he will still wear.

HaPPY faces Murray McLaughlin gave two concerts in the Theatre of the Arts last Saturday evening. The first show was cut short because McLaughlin and crew were late in arriving. But the second show began on time and Jeff Bechner one of the show organizers was on hand to present an impressive mime demonstration before the main attraction finally made its appearance. ‘McLaughlin played two sets the first mainly using the guitar, an instrument with which he managed to display a fair talent. The numbers ranged from such earthy themes as the Canadian West, songs of nostalgia, song9 about whore houseshe amused the audience with the song dedicated to “Ms. Linda Lovelace’ ’ about a poor lonely man who tries to pick up the sex goddess in a subway car. His songs showed a lot of the Canadian influence. His tales of nostalgia give a view point which could only be that of a Canadian. photo by andy mish

For this reason it seems that the audience could easily relate to what he was playing. But although it was easy to relate to the music, the same was not true for McLaughlin himself. In between numbers he stooped to’the old standby of telling jokes and making faces at the audience-managing to do no more than insult the people’s intelligence. A distinction that can be made between the person with talent and the person with talent who can perform, is that the latter must be able to establish some degree of rapport with the audience. Unfortunately McLaughlin shows himself to be a talented composer musician with no evidence of being a performer. He began the second set with an old Broadway melody which was entertaining for the first five seconds. The other numbers, accompanied by piano, were generally good though not spectacular. What was impressive, was the guitar work of the bass player who came along with McLaughlin. Dennis Pendrith stood quietly in the shadows while Murray took all the credit for the music. It was not until someone in the audience McLaughlin requested it, that introduced him to everyone. When Pendrith took part in some vocals in the second set, it was obvious that he had more talent than he had been given credit for. It also seemed obvious that neither were prepared for the concert. Most guitarists find it necessary to tune their guitar while on stage, but they try to keep it to g minimum. McLaughlin admitted to the audience that he wasn’t quite sure what he was going to play next and it was quite apparent that he wasn’t lying. a Forgetting about the absurd monologue, the concert might be said to have been a success The music sounded though. considerably better live than on record. McLaughlin’s music is easy to understand and relate to even if the man iS not. -linda

Joanne Elligsen returned to the keyboard for another solo concert on Wednesday in the Theatre of the Arts, giving us music by Beethoven, Brahms, Bartok, and Chopin - and giving it to us with not only elan and precision, but a degree of interpretative insight that can only be called astonishing when one considers that she is not a professional pianist but a graduate student in biology for whom music is only an avqcation. The program opened with Beethoven’s op. 78 Sonata, in F sharp Major (no. 25, I think). This opened somewhat tentatively, the adagio preface being taken a bit too quickly, but soon settled into an interesting performance, a little muted in dynamics but thoughtful and beautiful in overall effect. Then we had the Three Intermezzi, op. 117 of’ Brahms, long among his most treasured pieces in my book. Here Joanne struck out on new paths. In the marvellous first intermezzo, for instance, she takes the trio part, if anything rather than the more slowly, and efreLerse - an unusual fective way with the piece. That #2 was splendid, very clean and secure. Third was possibly overly agitated, again a novel view of the piece which merited serious attention. Wi! Brahms lovers are in her debt here. The three Bagatelles, op. 6, of Bartok (nos. 5, 1, and 2) were typical of the less searching pieces of that composer, and were done with appropriate crispness and vigor. After these, Joanne turned to what is obviously her (and so many pianists’) first love, Chopin. Of the four Preludes from op. 24, I noticed several unusual points, among them the much more animated treatment of no.7, yet not giving the effect of being too quick or tossed off, and with a breathtakingly beautiful arpeggio. The G Major has a wild left-hand part, which was perhaps not so well sustained as one would like; but &gain with extraordinary treatment of the right-hand melody. The 21st was simply masterful, a lesson to players and listeners of these great pieces. Finally there were four Etudes from the Op. 10 set, concluding with the famous “Revolutionary”. Here she simply came into her own-even more, if that’s possible, than she was / already. I felt in the “Revolutionary” the need for a bigger piano than our smallish grand, which would have afforded full scope to the grandeur and sweep which she brought to the piece. In view of her fine accomplishments in the past,, one could scarcely hope that still new heights would be scaled by this artistbut there it is, and hats off! Upcoming: don’t miss the Orford String Quartet @night,, and Camerata on the Conrad Grebel series tomorrow. Both upcoming young chamber groups with growing and deserved reputations. -ja n narveson

-How to be smart Obey you? elders and ,L never be late for school Intelligence, according to Arthur Jensen and his cronies, may be operationally defined as that quality which is measured by scores on IQ tests. On the basis of results from such tests, Blacks and other minorities are classified as ‘inferior’ because of their generally lower test scores. Startling anomalies in the component questions of the tests, however, indicate that the deficiencies ascribed to minority group subjects are in fact deficiencies in the te&s themselves. The following is the third and last of a series by Bill Wadge and Denis Higgs on Jensenist theories of race. The IQ concept is a hoax. The tests are rigged to show what they are used to provethe alleged inferiority of the poor and minorities. The arguments of Jensen and others that the poor and minorities are genetically less intelligent consist of three basis points: (1) IQ tests measure intelligence; (2) IQ differences among whites are I only twenty percent due to environmental differences ; (3) Thus the Black-White IQ difference is probably mainly genetic. The second article of this series explained : l that the ‘proof’ of (2) consists of four studies showing that White identical twins separated .at birth tend to score similarly on IQ tests; l that this similarity exists because twins are of the same age and sex, and tend to be brought up in similar environments; and that l (2) is irrelevent to racial differences l (2) is irrelevant to racial differences (3) because Black-White environmental differences are much greater than those found- within the white population. Nevertheless, Blacks, Indians, Mexican Americans, the poor, and working-class people in general tend to score less well on IQ tests. But it does not mean they are

was whether or not it distinguished those who, in the opinion of the teachers, were likely to do well in school. The Binet test was adapted to the US by Stanford psychologist Terman and so was born the Stanfgrd-Binet (S-B) IQ test, which Jensen class “one of the great breakthroughs in psychology”. The S-B does, in fact, predict school success fairly well - suspiciously so because one would think that school success at least as much on such things as motivation, respect for authority, and class background as on innate mental ability. Even a brief examination of actual IQ test questions confirms the worst of these suspicions. In fact tests like the S-B measure motivation, respect for authority . Q. What is the meaning of “authority”? High IQ answer: Some high person in authority has some large responsibilities. Low IQ answer: Always coming in and taking things that don’t belong to them. . (Stanford-Binet) and class background more than any such mental ability. For- a start, the S-B is almost completely verbal, and puts great emphasis on vocabulary. All subjects past the age of six are asked to define a certain number of words from a master list of 45. The list includes :

Hardly. Yet an adult who can define 30 of these words has a seven point lead over .an adult who knows only 22 of them. Of cour$e, vocabulary is only part of the test. At the “Average Adult” level the other sections are: (2) Ingenuity; (3) Differences Between Abstract Words ; (4) Arithmetic; (5) Proverbs; (6) Orientation; (7) Essential Differences; and (8) Abstract words. Some, such as (3) and (8) are just disguised vocabulary. And those tests which do not rely on the knowledge of four dollar words or simple skill are even more slanted towards attitudes and background. Q. What’s the thing to do if you’re on your way to school and you notice you’re in danger of being late? High IQ answer: Hurry. Low IQ answer: Just keep on going. (Stanford-Binet) In some cases the difference between right and wrong seems to depend only on the style of language used, and so must reflect the tester’s prejudices. Many implicitly measure attitudes and beliefs; others do so explicitly. For example, in regard to the “late for school” question, the manual states that “only those responses that suggest hurrying are acceptable”. So much for the Stanford-Binet, which Jensen calls “the standard for the measurement of intelligence”. All subsequent IQ tests have been validated on the basis of high correlations with the S-B. The most important of these other tests is the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC) [5]. The WISC is very similar in its make-up to the S-B, including a similar vocabulary list. What the reader might find hard to understand is that the S-B and WISC are not what one imagines an IQ test to be. Glaringly absent are the abstract-pattern

Q. What is the essential difference between “work” and “play”? High IQ answer: Work is energy used for doing something useful and play is just s wasted energy. Low IQ answer: You’d. rather play than work., (Stanford-Binet) less intelligent as a closer look at the subject reveals. Theories of innate inferiority existed long before the first IQ test. The ‘great’ Francis Galton in 1869 published a book, Hereditary Genius, claiming that intelligence was inherited and that the British ruling class had more of it than anyone else. But tests devised by Galton and others, measuring eg. memory and reaction time, showed that not only were the rich undistinguished (1) but also that Black and Indian children were superior (2). The pioneer psychologist E.L. Thorndike summarized the prevailing attitude in 1903 when he rationalized that: “The apparent mental attainments of children of inferior races may be due to lack of inhibition, and so witness precisely to a deficiency in mental growth” (3). These early attempts were of course discarded as failures, and the honor of. coming up with the first IQ test fell to the French psychologist Binet. What is not g;?nerally realized is that the Binet test was designed not to measure abstract mental ability but to predict success in school (4). Binet tried out many different types of question, and the criterion for including a question in the final version

Low IQ answer: Hit them back. /(Stanford-Binet) -, his own, mainly English literature, or by living in a middle or upper class home where they might be used. Motivation? Yes. Class background? Yes. Intelligence?

type of question usually associated with IQ. There are, of course, tests relying completely on non-verbal items such as completing an abstract design. The Raven Progressive Matrices test is the most cominon of these, and Jensen et al make much of the fact that Blacks do poorly on it. However, Black students taking a special SEED new math course score ‘normally’ on the Raven test [S] which would indicate that what it measures is only, a narrow and easily acquired mathematical-type skill. Why are there no such items on the S: B? As Terman explains “Many of the socalled performance test items tried out for inclusion were eliminated because they contributed little or nothing to the total score. They were not valid items for this scale” [ 71. In other words, they did not predict school successthey didn’t show the right people to be ‘intelligent’.

‘-

In short, the tests are frauds. They were rigged to show the rich to be smart; and they were rigged to show minorities to be ‘dumb’. For example, before 1937 women scored about 10 points below men on the S-B. When it was restandardized in 1937, this difference was eliminated by adding questions women did better on and removing some that men did better on [9]. They could have eliminated racial differences in the same way. They chose not to- the standardization sample for both the WISC and the S-B was all white. Yet these are the tests used in most of the Black-White studies Jensen cites; these are the tests used in twin studies to ‘prove’ that IQ is eighty percent inherited. While some might argue that IQ comparisons between people from similar cultural backgrounds are valid, those who, like Jensen, go on to infer race or class differences in ‘intelligence’ on the basis of scores on the Stanford-Binet are perpetrating a cheap hoax. Why is it then that such trash is heralded by the media, supported by the government and passed off in clfissrooms and testbooks as ‘science’? Because racism is socially useful. When times get rough, it is more convenient .to those in power that white people blame their troubles on the bad genes of inferior races, rather than on the system itself. Eugenics

Q. Why do we elect (or need to have) Senators and Congressmen? High IQ answer: Electing Senators makes government responsible to the people. Low IQ answer: Senators help control the people in the US. (WISC)

is as American as apple pie. Terman himself was a prominent member of the Council for Race Betterment. This organization, founded and funded by the wealthy Harriman and Kellogg families, obtained the passage in the U.S. of law$ forbidding interracial marriage and requiring the sterilization of the unfit. This movement died only because of WW II ; there is every reason to believe that the spread of Jensen’s ideas is signalling its rebirth. Questions of race and prejudice are just as relevant in Canada, with its large immigrant population, as they are in the US. If there is one lesson that can be learned from twentieth century history, it is that racism is a life or death issue. In closing we return to the discussion of race arid IQ in Psychology: Search for Alternatives used in psych 101 at this university. Aside from the bias of the articles reprinted, the comments of the editors (Dyal et al of Waterloo) contain numerous errors (p. 2.30-2.32) They state that American Blacks score “about 15 points below the average white american or white European”. This figure is high, and cannot be extended to Europeans, because they have their own tests, standardized to 100. The editors state that “we ido not know” the source of the IQ difference (look at the tests). They state that “we know” IQ to be eighty percent heritable for whites. They imply that such figures are relevant in determining the source of racial differences. There is no mention of even a cultural bias in IQ tests. Worst of all, IQ differences are equated with “intellectual differences”, differences in “intelllectual ability” and in “intellectual functioning”. The book will soon go to McGraw-Hill to be published. We must hope that the section on race and IQ will be completely revised. 0 1.

Kaufman biased? Having just read the recent Chevron article by g.s. kaufman concerning the arena proposal I did what any responsible student would do with his questionnaireI cleaned my skates and used it to line the box that I stored them away in. It is quite obvious that if the referendum is worded by the same people there will be no arena. Strangely enough I sat in front of Kaufman at the October 25 meeting of the AAB meeting and must have absorbed most of the factual information, for it is obvious that little of what was discussed reached him. It was the most irresponsible piece of reporting I have ever read and could spell the doom of this University’s students acquiring a decent skating and spectating facility. As I read the article and the questionnaire I noted the misconstrued facts that Kaufman used to build his argument: l this is not the last chance to decide on how student fees will be spent to build an arena. There are remaining AAB meetings and of course the referendum where students can contribute to the final proposal. l at the Oct. 25 AAB meeting the 3,500 multipurpose structure was played down and a 2,000 to 3,000 seat structure, which could accomodate other uses at a later date, was voted on. l this project is not likened to the drama dept. asking students for a new theatre as the arena will be used for varsity teams, and intramural sports such as skating, broomball, male and female hockey. Clearly there are a great deal more people involved in these activities now taking place on rented ice at ridiculous hours (i.e. 12:OO midnight) than are involved with a theatre. l what is varsity hockey but an activity? It is active participation for the players and entertainment for the student Clearly if 3,000 people are spectators. involved in watching a hockey game, be it varsity or intramural, this is activity. l we presently pay $20 for intercollegiate sports< if Waterloo Arena can only hold a little over 1,500 then a lot of people would be turned away if we all decided to-attend a hockey game that we are actually paying to see. About 1,500 niore would be able to see these activities at the proposed arena. l to wait for the lifting of the provincial freeze on grants for university buildings would be futile as it is only assumed that this lift will come about and the demand for this facility is now and cannot wait three years or whatever. l the minority which Kaufman accused of trying to shove this thing through is far larger than the minority at the Chevron trying their best to defeat it through inaccurate and irresponsible reporting. l concerning the questionnaire, quest ion number 1 was inaccurate as it is not just a hockey rink that is to be built. Question number 2 was based on a 5-year payment period which was never discussed. It is a twenty year period which has been fgvoured. Question number 3 is irrelevant,

as this is a democracy ,in which the majority rules. Question number 5 is also irrelevant as if there is no arena there will be no fund. Question number 6 is poorly worded as the University will not be “taking” anything from the city of Waterloo and in any case the parkland site has been shelved as it is inadequate; something Kaufman has recognized in his article. l money is truly no object as students will be asked to pay no more than $5 per term, so what does it matter if the total cost of the arena is $500,000 or $1.5 million? Why should today’s students pay for tomorrow’s users? If the cost is spread over fifteen or twenty years then more people will contribute and lessen the cost for everyone. I feel it is the duty of the Chevron to report the facts as anything else is propaganda which is meant to sway the reader. I’f you don’t print factual material don’t bother printing anything. A questionnaire should be unbiased as its object is to determine an opinion not to create one, as yours will clearly do. N. McKendrick i D.E.S.

Real In reply to George Kaufman’s big arena article which appeared in last weeks chevron, we felt that the truth must be brought to the student population about the whole affair. It must be blatantly obvious even to the layman reader of poor George’s biases, that he no more wants this student facility than another hole in his head. Firstly, his headline is a lie. Your last chance to have input into the arena proposal has not come and gone. The referendum is not expected until December or January for the simple reason that enough input from the students cannot be obtained that quickly. Furthermore, nothing is being “shoved through by a vocal and self-interested Burt asked the Athletic minority”. Advisory Board to find out if there was a general student interest in having an arena on campus. The AAB in turn asked the athletic dept. to research and then present a proposal of what they felt would be the ideal arena for the University of Waterloo. The feasibility of this proposal, along with three others, will hopefully be discussed by student groups across campus. These proposals are in no way being forced down students’ throats as George suggests. The student has all the power, and can voice his or her opinion in the coming referendum. If you don’t want it, vote NO. For interest’s sake, the’ last AAB meeting dismissed the ‘Waterloo Park site as being both politically and physically unfeasible. P.S. George, where did you get the $5 to $10 per term? We always heard that $5 per term would be the maximum compulsory fee. Heather Kitchen Eric Robinson AAB fed reps IJnfortunately, several minor factual errors were printed in the article mentioned, but none of them basic to these objections. McKendrick, as with the rest of the Athletic Advisory Board and the athletic department, needs to be reminded that this is not an athletic department project; it is an administration-student project which suddenly jumped at the _-

student body from out of the blue. McKendrick and other assume that a fund will be set up at the students’ expense, and that this fund will either build a big, new rink for the athletic department, or nothing. In fact, if the students are going to be asked to build a structure’on this campus, they should be given a real choice rather than an either-or ultimatum from the athletic department interests. Some campuses even have built their own student pubs-fully licensed. . . now, talk about activity. The five-year plan was offered by Burt Matthews, not the Chevron. As far as the argument that 3,000 students watching 12 students play a sport constitutes activity, then if that is the case students get enough activity just sitting at home watching television and don’t need a $million plus building in which to sit on their asses. -1ettitor

Athletes to pay? It’s “Tenth Anniversary Fund” time again kiddies. This year’s project is an ice rink athletic complex which will cost between 1.2 and 1.6 million dollars of our money. The financial arrangements will cost us an extra twenty or thirty dollars a year as an incidental fee- which, I might add, no one has suggested will be refundable. Burt has assured the students that if we build the complex then the university will assume all costs of operations. Last spring Seagram Stadium was closed because the stands had become structurally unsound and would have cost between 15,000 and 30,000 dollars to repair. Regretfully Burt told us that there was,no money in the budget to pay for these repairs in the near future. If things are so tight how then can we afford another athletic complex? The reason given for the sudden need for this facility is the exhorbitant cost of ice time now being paid. Is it not possible that the operating costs of this complex will be made up by the $12,000 dollars they save plus the revenue they anticipate making by ripping off community groupsat the same exhorbitant rates that they themselves are complaining about now? On top of all this there are all the aspects of friction between the community and the university about the location of the complex. I believe that the students are subsidizing the athletic department enough now through compulsory athletic fees and that if an ice rink complex is needed then it is the university, the athletic department, and the athletes themselves who should provide it. Mel Watts History 3

Only jocks will use it Many times I have felt outrage, frustration, happiness, etc., with articles, let&s and features in newspapers but until now I have not written back. The final bloiv was the letter in the November 2 issue of the chevron. I refer to ‘I’. Redvers’ letter. My criticism is that my money, which I never have enough in the first place (how much can you make in

1973 .

four months?), is to be used for the pleasure of the jocks of the world. Let’s face it, an ice rink will be used ninety per cent of the time for varsity hockey; jocks again. Only the physical education students are pushing for this arena. What roused my ire is that I am already paying seventeen dollars to supply these people with basketballs and other tools of the trade. O.K. The students on campus feel physical activity is a necessary department. Fine, they are free to feel so. However, I object to the omnipotent administration making the policy decisions (which they will be doing) with my mmy . If I’m going to pay ten to thirty dollars extra I want to see it go to a real student union building. I propose two choices for our jocks: l use our money to build something everybody can use and ice over the floor and knock out the second storey of the campus centre, or * use our money to rent a bulldozer for a day to flatten some land north of Columbia, flood it and erect wooden stands. (If WLU’s not contributing, screw what they think of the distance!) I have filled out the questionnaire and will personally go to tell the student federation what I think of the proposal. Leonard Smith

Citizens not asked I would have hoped that the letter from Anne Dagg would have convinced your readers how seriously many Waterloo residents view the possibility of this university encroaching upon city-owned land in order to build an ice rink which wouId be used primarily by members of the academic community. Unfortunately the replies from T. Redvers and T.R., both (?) of kinesiology , indicate that further comment is warranted. It should be no secret to students and faculty alike that citizens of this city have looked upon us with a mistrust (the word “carpetbagger” comes to mind) which no litany of “benefits” occurring to the city as a result of our presence has been able to alleviate. As a resident of Waterloo and region long before the birth (or even conception) of U. of W-, I have always decried this attitude and have-urged more cooperation between the city and the university. This does ’ not necessarily mean cooperation between officials of these two institutions, leading to the ultimate sale or exchange of publicly-owned land. Unfortunately recent city councils have not shown an overriding koncern with the amount or quality of parkland in the community. I would certainly not like to see the present council given a chance, at the invitation of students here, to once again “sell out”. As for the parcel of land in question (adjacent to Waterloo Park), it may indeed not be suitable for parkland-in its present state. This does not mean that it can’t yet become eminently suitable and indeed desirable. The facts are that Waterloo Park as it now exists, is probably already overused and will surely become still more used as developers, with the acquiescence of council, attempt to ring the park with high-rise apartment

The possible location of such a rink on potential parkland is defintely a concern for the entire community. Apparently students will have a chance to register their opinions in a referendum. I would hope that the student body would not risk a deterioration of relations between itself and the citizenry of Waterloo by makiqg an unfortunate choice. Ed Moskal Mathematics

The Athletic Advisory Board has just completed two meetings entirely devoted to the new University of Waterloo arena proposal. Dr. Matthews asked the board to develop certain ideas which he would use as advice when he designs the referendum to be presented to the student body to vote upon probably in Jaduary . Ilnfortunately the AAR did not, fill his complete desires through lack of communication. They discussed at the first meeting the ultimate number of seats, vaguely deciding ‘on something between 2,000 and 3,000, though nothing definite. They also thought that the site north of Columbia Road was ideal. though Dr. Matthews didn’t ask for. this piece of information. Eric Burnett presented a new proposal at the second meeting. It showed a 3,000seat building with three rink surfaces (one of them possibly curling). What Eric was mostly interested in was to have the costs shared with WLU and possibly the city. Most thought it would end up a political The board hassled over “hot potato”. ideas about what facilities would be within, but again ended up with only a jumbled bunch of thoughts. One thing they did unanimously decide was that the fee should be no more than $5 per term and should take 15 to 20 years to pay off. The arena they propose will cost $1.5 million. Students will judge this and other proposals in the coming referendum. Eric Robinson AAB fed rep

Chevron buffooris It is unfortunate that there are those among us here at U of W who care little for formal academic tradition and feel that the culmination of four or five years of scholastic endeavour, the convocation, is redundant,, indeed an anachronism. I refer to an article prepared by Messrs. Pratte and Savage which appeared in the chevron of 26 October entitled “A New Way to Graduate”. The article is subject to a number of for the sake of brevity, criticisms, however, I shall limit myself to commenting on only three of its shortcomings. Firstly, very few of the students of from today, I’m sure, feel “alienated” their families. Indeed, I may safely say that for those students living away from home, the familial bond is strengthened not the converse. Since this is true in the cases of a great many U of W students, how may we conclude that parents are disinterested in the academic endeavours of their sons and daughters? Secondly, there are a large number of students on this campus who are not in Honours Frisbee-Throwing, Pass PotSmoking, or Integrated Studies and are

not working towards a “virtually insignificant diploma”. The large majority of us are pursuing a degree which for centuries has symbolised the co&pletion of an education and the commencement of a new phase in the life of the graduate. Yes, some of us actually desire to learn and devote little time to the inalie pastimes so often visible at the Campus Centre. Lastly the large part of the text of the article is typical of chevron journalistic buffoonery. The officers of the university involved in the convocation ceremonies are made jest of as are we, the graduates of the future. Such cynicism and shallowness of perception are apparently the hallmarks of chevron reporting, not true expressions of the opinions held by the overwhelming majority of the student community.

- Facts wrong Linda Lounsberry’s facts are not quite accurate. Several men did take advantage of the open house held at the Women’s Place on October 25. They were made very welcome, too. About that video unit-& was loaned by Community Services of KW Community and Social Services. They also supplied a technician free. To suggest that the Women’s Place is affluent enough to possess such a unit is downright, perI nicious . Irene Price Linda repliesI’m very sorry that the article was not quite accurate. In talking with the women at the open house, I heard them mention that they had seen no men in the opening. If indeed there were men there, I am pleased to hear of it. Pernicious?

ESS goes on record This is just to add a few burning embers to the dying flames of ‘the Federation Oktoberblast fiasco. The Environmental Studies Society would like to go on record that tve did not in any way, shape or form support the Federation in this venture. This statem’ent is to oppose that of the Federation president, who implied, in his defense of the venture, that he had full support of the societies presumably including the E .S S. We wish’to make it clear that although the E .S.S. executive council met several times over the summer we had no knowledge of the Federation’s intentions until after it became a fait accompli. We therefore wish to disavow any connection between the Environmental Studies Society execu’tive and the Federation’s Oktoberfest Celebrations and also to express our resentment of the Federation President in implying this.

I suspect somehow that your London taps for correspondent is sounding democratic socialism somewhat prematurely. Certainly the logic of his argument does not match that of another

London correspondent for Canadian newspapers-Karl Marx. q All of us, social democrats and others, are saddened and disgusted by the failure Chile. of the Allende experiment in Further, all social democrats will learn lessons _ from its apparent failure. The lesson, however, is not one that will cause very many pf us to give up, to turn to alternate means of achieving a socialist, humanitarian society. : To suggest that “those who would have us believe that the capitalist state can be reformed peacefully, with compromise and goodwill, are refuted by a further nail in the reformist coffin” is to make ‘causal connections which are at best superficial, at worst silly. It represents a misunderstanding of the social democratic #tradition and the objective conditions of within which social each society democratic movements flourish. No democratic socialist thinker I know of has ever claimed that capitalist society can be transformed overnight into a socialist one by essentially reformist, measures. The process takes time because people of this political stripe believe that the people who are supposed to be served by the society that is being created have to have some say in the way the thing is to look. That must, necessarily take time because those who hold to the dominant, essentially capitalist ideology control most of the major agencies of socialization. Socialism is ultimately possible as a result of the ,development of working class consciousness, and the development of the economic system to the point where it can provide sufficient goods and services to provide a decent standard of life for everyone in a society. Socialists who are not prepared to ‘take their time” about the process have only two choices--they can take the traditional, non-social-democratic, Canadian route and sit, on their asses speculating about the revolution, lashing out at the demented, ‘cop-out’ social democrats, and achieving the chestthumping s’ense of well-being that comes with having said all the right things and supporting all the shibboleths that are popular in the halls of our universities. Alternatively, they can attempt to ,foment a genuine revolution, a violent overthrow of the capitalist system. Regardless of whether -or not that is possible within our society, or British society, the democratic socialist has some genuine doubts about the process itself. A genuine revolution, based on wide.

spread popular support, must determine that the vocal opposition will be eliminated-you can shoot them, stick them into >concentration camps, exile them, humiliate them and all of the alternatives in between. If we accept the notion that a socialist, society is in the end to be a humane and civilized one, a society which rejects those values which are a result of the functions of the capitalist economic system, then it is doubtful that humane values can be generated among the population by violent means. An individual, or a collectivity that lives in fear is not a ‘free’ bindividual or collectivity. It is one which cleaves to a particular way of life because no other option is available.

Democratic socialists believe that people must want to eliminate the alienation of the market place and must want to build for themselves a humane environment before those things are possible. Allende believed the same thing, It’s just that the conditions did not yet exist in Chile to make that possible. The economic system was not sufficiently well-developed to take the initial strains that go along with attempts to do things differently, and the people did not have the expertise required to allow them to make all of the decisions necessary for the establishment of new relations of production. What does the reformist socialdemocrat do? He attempts to eliminate the harsher consequences of the capitalist / economic sys tern. He attempts to give workers the sense of self-confidence which will ultimately allow for the process of workers’ control to take hold. He c,hips away at the power of the corporatioq to control the life of the society and of the work for it. He individuals who nationalizes automobile insurance so that he can control the process of investment for the benefit of the society as a whole. And so, on. No one has yet proved to me that the provision of decent housing for people who don’t have it is necessarily bad. Nor has anyone yet proved to me that the nature of the decisions which are made by democratic socialist, governments are not fundamentally different from the decisions made by ‘liberal’ governments. The ends in mind are different,, and the resultant society will be different. Yours in peaceful socialism, Jo Surich, Vice President and Finance Chairman, Ontario NDP.
