At Monday’s council meeting, the only alderman to strongly oppose the cuts was Morley Rosenberg whose stance won him rounds of applause from the spectators. He t&ed in vain to delay any cuts in the transit service until the city sets its budget priorities this spring. “We have to know the state of our budget first and then set our priorities for the upcoming year.” Rosenberg said since the pro- I vince has been subsidizing public transit, the Twin Cities’ system has improved steadily during the last two and a half years. He questioned the city’s proposal to build a convention-arts centre saying it should be chopped and the money put into transportation. “If our priorities are between transportation and the convention arts centre, I’ll vote 100 per cent for transportation.” Other aldermen said they decided against eliminating routes until further study because they had a great number of phone calls regarding the matter. Alderman Harold Chapman said that after attending a public forum on the proposed transit cutbacks last week and receiving many phone calls, he can’t agree to the cutting off of service on certain routes. cont’d page 3

Tl3.e marl who recommended that Marsha Forest’s contract not be renewed is having his own contract reviewed and it is likely to raise some interesting questions. Acting chairman of the IIuman Relations department, Arthun FViener, is, like Forest, on a definite term contract. It ends on August 31 and is being reviewed now so that, should his services not be required, he can be given the normal six months notice. Forest has been informed by the department that she will not be rehired when her contract expires on June 30.

Recreation students met on Wednesday to launch a campaign *‘.o inform UW senators of their fears about the, possible relocation of the department’s offices off campus. In addition to the circulation of a 10 page brief, some 15 students are trying to talk to individual senators in preparation for Monday night’s senate meeting. Their efforts follow in the wake of an unsuccessful plea made to the senate executive last week. At that time, eight students and federation fieldworker Tom Morrisey submitted a written brief and verbal case a.gainst the separation of recreation faculty from their students. The separation is looming on the basis of a decision made by the Human Kinetics and Leisure Studies dean, Gerald Kenyon, to relocate teaching staff offices in a soon-to-be-built warehouse on Phillip Street, north of Columbia Street. During the senate executive meeting a presentation was made by student spokeswoman Judy Peat-se outlining concerns about the splitting of the department. Most of it related to projected detrimental impact on academic activity . Among these concerns about the geographical isolation are: -restricted access to academic

that

Forest’s contract not be renewed. The committee reviewed the case and concurred with his view mainly on the grounds that four of the department’s full time professors voted against having her retained (two voted in favour), and that her scholarly work (publications) ‘“is not up to the standard the department ought to uphold”. But Forest claimed the real reason she is being let go is because she is an active MarxistLeninist and she says the decision

support services (e.g. the library, computer, student services); -limited interaction between faculty members and students within the department; -reduced interaction with members of other departments; -impairment of productivity and research activities. The senate executive tried to wash its hands of the matter when a motion made by senator Andrew Telegdi to ask senate to consider the students’ concerns was allowed to die for want of a second. Nevertheless, the recreation students hope to have the matter brought up at the senate meeting under the agenda item “other business”. The 10 page packet they are distributing is broken up into five sections : -references to sections of the UW Act outlining the basis of legitimate involvement of the senate in the issue; -an his torical perspective tracing decisions about the department space needs and acquisition of additional space; -a statement from the recreation student association; -a precis of a brief by the Recreation Faculty; -a summary of a brief by graduate students.

What is particularly interesting is that one of the ways she hopes to prove her case is by having herself compared to Wiener. She explained last term that he would be an appropriate running mate because they are both similar in age, experience and qualifications. When the decision was announced last December that she would not be rehired’ she claimed

graduates’ position is that relative inaccessability of faculty members outside of the classroom will seriously erode personal interaction within the department. This loss of interaction will in turn cause some academic deterioration of the program, dampen morale, and decrease the appeal of the program. They see the likely academic ramifications outweighing any advantages of the increased space gained by the relocation of the faculty members’ offices. Problems arising from the locating of HKLS are recurrent and long-standing. The departments of Kinesiology and Recreation are spread out through four university buildings though all are presently on-campus. Plans for the construction of a building for HKLS were shelved in 1972 when the provincial government froze capital expenditures. Last summer estimates of the space needs of HKLS for 1980 were made and submitted to UW President Burt Matthews. On the basis of these and other projected university needs, the university officials have been negotiating to rent space at $100,000 per year. The space would be provided by the construction of an addition to the building presently occupied by Architecture. -shane

tlm Wiener had no publications. She also pointed out that he only had seven students in a course which she taught to 55 students. When approached by the 6: about these charges Wiener would make no comment, So the stage is set for Wiener’s review and there can be no doubt that it will be closely watched. Shortly after the decision on Forest was made public a rally was held in support of her and Weber and in opposition to political firings, at which 250 people heard messages of support from over 30 faculty and students, many of whom represented campus organisations. Her review came in for sharp criticism that day. Forest claimed that she had not been officially notified of the review. Several speakers complained that her teaching ability had not been considered, nor the improvements she has made to the graduate intemship program, nor the work she has done in the community and in campus organisations. And students protested that the department had not sought their opinions-the management committee stated that even the most favourable evidence which might have been gained from further ineont’d from page 1 Alderman Robert Wagner tried to delay the elimination of routes for the rest of the year’ but a sixmonth respite depending on the results of a usage survey was what the majority of aldermen would agree to. Council also heard four delegations fi-om the spectator gallery all demanding an expansion rather than a reduction in the transit system. Shane Roberts of the UW student federation said students will be greatly affected by the transit cutbacks as the number of bus rides to the university will be cut in half. Students are a relatively lower income group and they depend heavily on public transit. Their only alternatives are taxis, car pools or hitch-hiking.” Roberts said if the transit service is reduced, the measure will

He said he was to/d that by throwing out the imperialists the Vietnamese people have travelled only two miles in a 7,000 mile journey and that the revolution must now be left to ripen.,

ves tigation in the depal-tmen”k could not have Atered the decision. The VJiener review is all the more interesting because it has i+~2,! been recommended by a senate committee that the department be phased gut. A final decision on that may be made at the senate meeting on Monday. But no matter what the outcome of all this it was made clear Wednesday that neither Forest nor Weber is going to leave without a fight. Accompanied by three students and Jeffrey Forest they saw Vice-president, academic, Tom Brzustowski and informed him in no uncertain terms that they were outraged at losing their jobs. All six made it clear that they felt the firings were political. Both Weber and Forest demanded their jobs back and Forest demanded that she be compared to Wiener. The students complained about having no input into the decisions which affect them and their professors, and Jeffrey Forest said Brzustowski was a disgrace because he had been vice-president, academic through “this whole era” of political firings, and had done nothing. To which the vicepresident replied “1’11 just have to grin and bear it’ 9s -neil

prompt a “gkometric reduction” in usage on the part of students. “‘Students will find it easier to walk of they have to wait too long for a bus.” If the transit service is increased, students will catch more buses because as a group they are heavily dependent on the service, Roberts suggested. Asked by alderman Chapman whether it’s really a hardship for students to wait 12 to 30 minutes for a bus, Roberts replied saying students have to get to classes on time and someone living in Kitchener loses about one and a half hours getting to university. Patty Moffat of the Consumer Action Centre asked council to postpone a decision on the fare increases and other cutbacks saying that there has been an insufficient amount of public participation in the issue. She then presented council with a petition bearing 1,500 names and addresses, all opposing the transit cutbacks. “Council’s involvement in the issue is to save money rather than to take into account social considerations .” Moffat said Webster’s report based itself on research lacking public input and as a consequence it doesn’t reflect the usage of the service . Yncrease the advertising of the bus service and encourage the use of buses instead of cars or the downtown core will get congested.” Jim Campbell of Fariview Avenue said he opposed the ““short turns’ ’ at Market Square since the buses at that point still have between 15 to 20 passengers. “If people are using the transit service, you should cater to their needs.” Ele also said city council isn’t really making the decision to cut back the transit service since it’s doing just what the province tells it tQ ids. The city should increase its local tax base to subsidize the service ’ Campbell suggested. I-Ielmi Gee of Wedgewood Drive informed council that it was acting undemocratically in proposing to chop the Rosemount route as the action could force many people to move elsewhere. “People will have to walk six blocks to get to a bars stop if the route is eliminated.” --john

Extra heat in math building Someone has taken to setting fires in the math and computer building and with three last weekend he/she is now credited with six in the last month. All have been minor involving the contents of wastepaper baskets, piles of computer print out sheets and bulletin * boards, and security chief Al Romenco is convinced that the person isn’t trying to .burn the building down. He thinks that it is someone with a grudge against the computer science department. This is because all the fires, bar one, have been set on the fifth floor which is where the department is located. The I_ other fire was kindled on the fourth floor. Dean of mathematics, W.F. Forbes is not so sure that it is someone dissatisfied with the computer science department who is causing the trouble and thinks it may just be someone who is disturbed. He said there are always some disgruntled students but that this was a very strange way for someone to protest. He stress.ed that there were channels open to dissatisified students such as the math society, the. department chairman, and his office. He said he,has never refused to see a student and that students are given priority in his appointments. The dean hopes that students and faculty will be on the alert for the fire setter. He warned that unless it can be stopped one of the outcomes might be the closure of the building at 1lp.m. That possibility will be discussed at the fa-

culty meeting on Tuesday. The building is normally open all the time. Talking among students in the faculty one complaint raised was the difficulty of getting access to the honeywell computer, but president of math sot, Gary Dryden, said he didn’t think there was any general dissatisfaction within the department. Last term there was some vandalism in the department but it seemed to be aimed at one professor. It is felt if the fires are being set by a disgruntled student then he/she is trying to make a more general statement. Ken Randell of financial services says so far the fires will have no direct effect on the university’s insurance pemium. He explained that there is a $500 franchise in the policy so that any damage under $500 is the university’s responsibility and that up to $10,000 worth of such incidents can be accumulated before the insurance company gets involved. Nonetheless Randell said a series of fires is not looked upon favourably by any underwriter. c There has been one other fire in the building recently which caused $50,000 worth of damage. It was also on the fifth floor but a fire inspector blamed a malfunction in a piece of computer hardware. -neil

Frozen books A water pipe broke in the floor above the EMS library on February 1 causing a minor flood in the library below and damaging 42 i books. Acting on a similar but more disastrous precedent: the flooding at the Corning Museum of Glass in Corning, New York, the books were frozen to prevent the ink from running and the formation of mould. The books were wrapped in freezer paper and left in the freezer while a method to thaw them was investigated . Shirley Beutenmiller, head of the reference department at EMS,

consul ted chemical engineering professor Dr. Ford who suggested thawing the books in a micro-wave oven. To test the efficiency of this method an experiment was conducted on three - discarded books which were watered, frozen and then thawed in the micro-wave oven. Each book takes 3-4 minutes to thaw and some of the older books will have to be rebound to completely restore them. Beutenmiller said, “This method is simple and efficient and would probably be of benefit to other libraries. ” -judy

David McLellan, the president of the Environmental Studies student society, and Heather Robertson, the society’s secretary, both snatched the two ES seats. Incumbent John Long and new face Selma Sahim grabbed the two Mathematics seats. Doug Thompson, an Integrated Studies student, emerged the victor against Mike Wallis in the first election that the Facultv has ever held. As for the two graduate student seats, biology student John Lee picked up one and the other was tied between history student Rick DeGrass and science student Ron Hatz. The tie will be decided at a by-election to be held later this term. There were acclamations in Science and Human Kinetics and Leisure Studies. Council has a total membership of 26, and some seats such as the co-operative term one in ES remain unfilled.

Destrdy/lns public land with public money Demonstrations are beginning in Toronto today at the Art Gallery of Ontario against Reed Paper, Ltd. c The focus of the protest is an art show called “Changing Visions -the Canadian Landscape” which is being sponsored by Reed Paper. The irony of the situation is that Reed Paper is “one of the ‘good corporate citizens’ primarily responsible for the changing vision of the Canadian landscape,” according to Heather Ross and Linda Rosenbaum of the Anti-Reed Campaign. They charge that “the real change in the Can’adian landscape is the destruction caused by Reed’s own activities .” They believe that Reed is using the art exhibit in an attempt to generate public goodwill which would aid in its attempts to have its logging areas extended. Reed is currently planning to expand operations into a 25,000 square mile area north of its present limits around Red Lake and Dryden in north-western Ontario. Opponents of the Reed expansion warn that it would be poten-

tially disastrous for the Native people, land and wildlife of Northem Ontario. Pointing out that “few specific studies have been undertaken to’ examine the effects of logging in this area” (which has the shortest growing seasorr of any area ever logged in Ontario), they believe that the proposed clear-cutting of large areas of forest will seriously jeopardize the livelihood of Native people in the area because of its effects on the animal population. (Large animals such as moose will not venture into a clear-cut area.) Preliminary research also indicates that the black spruce forest of the area may never be regenerated if large scale clear-cutting is allowed. This is due to soil types which make natural or artificial regeneration very difficult and to the fact that bog laurel and Labrador tea which exist in the area produce substances toxic to black spruce . seedhngs’ Reed Paper, Ltd. is a wholly owned subsidiary of Reed Intemational, Ltd., a British corporation.

(Reed’s proposal to expand its operations contradicts the government’s own Northwestern Ontario Strategic Land Use Plan which calls for the area to be left untouched until at least 1991. This has not deterred Reed from pushing ahead with its plans, however, or from applying for $25 million of public mont?y to do it.) The Anti-Reed Campaign begins its protest with a demonstration outside the art gallery at 8 pm today. They also plan to leaflet the exhibition every Saturday and Sunday until the exhibit closes on March 21. They welcome participation or contributions from anyone interested.

UNITA blasts foreign intervention A representative of the National Union for the Total Independence of Angola (UNITA) called on more than 75 students and faculty Monday to support UNITA’s demand for a government of national unity as a solution to the civil war now raging in Angola. Jeremiah Chitunda, the UNITA

major factor in fomenting hostility between UNITA, the Popular Movement for the Liberation of Angola (MPLA) and the National Front for the Liberation of Angola (FNLA) Chitunda said. Cuba and South Africa, client states of the USSR and the US respectively, have also invaded the southern African country. “We don’t need the South Africans, we don’t need the Russians and the Americans and the Cubans. The problem could have been solved among ourselves, said Chitunda. “Now we’re told that we should not oppose Soviet action in Angola, just South African and American involvement. We reject this. Soviet social-imperialism is just as dangerous to Angolans as American imperialism. ” UNITA is striving for the establishment of a government of national unity based on elections among the six million Angolans. This was the agreement between the Portuguese government, which was thrown out of Angola, and the three liberation movements which combined in a successful national liberation struggle against Portugal. The Alvor Agreement of January 1975 set up a transitional government which was to conduct elections in October 1975 leading to independence in November 1975. But the elections were never held as civil war broke out between the three liberation movements. Following the Alvor Agreement the Soviet Union began to pour

Murder by computer? Jeremias Chitunda, the spokesman for the National Union for the Total /dependence of Angola at the United Nations, told a UW audience on Monday that the two superpowers, the U.S. and USSR, are the cause of the Angolan civil war.

Injustice in the penal system, Native women in prison in Canada and the case of Yvonne Wanrow will be among the topics covered in a forum that will be held on Monday, Feb. 16, in Arts Lecture room 124 at 8 p.m. Y vonne Wanrow, a 3 l-year-old Indian mother, killed a child molester who had assualted her nine year old son in Spokane, Washington. The assailant had attacked her son on a Friday afternoon and the police were called but they did not arrest the man, in spite of his criminal record for child molestation. Instead, the police told Wanrow to come to the police station on Monday to sign a complaint. At 5:30 a.m. Saturday morning William Wesler (the child molester) barged into the house where Yvonne Wanroe, and her children, were staying. Wanrow shot Wesler, the police were called and she was arrested. Yvonne Wanrow was sentenced to 20 years for second degree murder, 20 years for first degree assault and five years for use of a deadly weapon, in spite of the fact that she had no previous arrest record. However, she has won the right to a new trial, and is now on a speaking tour to raise money for her defense. Prisoners Rights, a Toronto-

based organization sponsoring the tour through Southern Ontario, has a two:fold purpose for the tour. One is to publicize Wanrow’s case and the other is to draw attention to the situation of women in Canada’s prisons, especailly Native Women. A representative of Prisoners Rights and an ex-inmante Of Penitentiary, Carol Kingston Newell, will be talking about three -.. a. women presently imprisoned m Kingston Penitentiary and about Kingston Prison for Women itself and the necessity to abolish it. -dave

FLORIDA (ZNS-CUP)-A Florida state trooper who shot and killed a man after receiving the wrong information from a state crime computer has been acquitted of all charges related to the killing. The victim, Frank Booth, was on the way to his father’s funeral when apparently he pulled off the road and was spotted by officer Robert Rennie. The trooper fed Booth’s license number into the state’s criminal crime computer, and in the meantime, got out to talk to Booth. Rennie later testified, during a two-and-a-half hour inquest, that the crime computer flashed back the information that Booth’s car was stolen. The officer said he then drew his gun and told Booth to place his hands on his head. The driver reportedly reached inside a coat pocket, and Rennie says he shot Booth, thinking he was reaching for a gun. Rennie found that Booth was unarmed, and later discovered that the computer had given out the wrong information. A jury of six acquitted the trooper on the grounds of justifiable homicide.

Feds ice cream stand. s \ melts away A scoop for the chevron this week from the Campus Centre ice cream stand which has had problems with the-freezer losing power, according to student federation official Larry Pearson. This has happened twice, the more recent incident taking place two weekends ago, Pearson said. Pearson told lhe chevron that a turnkey, after noticing the freezer had shut off phoned him to ask what should be done.. P&-son told the turnkey to reset the circuit breaker. However, the breaker was not labelled and the turnkey, who was not familiar with circuit -breaker boxes, thought everything looked in order and did not reset the freezer. Unable to obtain further help, the turnkey was fa&d with approximately 20 tubs ($200 worth) of melting ice cream, according to figures quoted at last week’s Campus Centre Board meeting.

Pearson explained that in order to avoid wasting the ice cream, the turnkey began handing out free ice cream cones and, through sheer determination, managed to give away most of the ice cream. In an earlier incident of the same nature,. about $150 worth of ice cream was lost, board members mentioned. The Neilson’s ice cream people rep1aced.a.h of the ice cream lost in both incidents, according to Pearson. Neilson’s suggested the failure might be due to power surges but the exact cause is unknown, Pearson said. At the board meeting, Physical Resources representative Ed Korr suggested that turnkeys be told to phone extension 2256,, a 24-hour emergency call number, in case of future trouble. . ,

A child of two cultures, she was born Chou Elizabeth Kuanghu in Peking in 1917 during the turbulence that would lead up to a major uprising ten years later and iiltimately usher in the ComI munist takeover. ’ Since then she has lived, worked and studied in many countries. She attended Yen-thing University in Peking and Brussels University. Upon returning to China in 1938 she married Col. (later Gen.) Tang Pao-huang and during the Sino-Japanese War, practiced mid-wifery in Chungking. In 1942 she and her husband went to London where she continued her medical stud&. Qualifying in 1948, she has since practiced medicine in Hong Kong, Malaya: +nd Singapore. Fram 1956 ‘to 1972, Han spent part of each year systematically tracing the course of the Chinese Revolution. More recently she has toured the Silk Road and Sinkiang Province and the border regions between China and the USSR, tracing the route of the Long March and interviewing many survivors. She retired from medicine in 1%4 to devote time to lecturing and -writing and has produced ten books, the best known being “A Many Splendoured Thing”, “The Mountain Is Young”, “The Crippled Tree” and “A Mortal .Flower ” as well as contributing to many periodicals.

Canada’s planners and their professional-club, the kanadian Institute of Plamiers (CIP), have adopted a positionwhich reinforces the status quo, often facilitates the narroti interests of the property development in&sFry; and enhances their own professional status-to the detriment of Canadianurbanplaces and the majority of their inhabitants. The process of urbanization in Canada, since the end of World War II, has focussed attention on the need for city planning, to%& point where today planners and their agenzies affect the lives of &E&s of urbanbnadti. Although criticism of planning in Canada has occurred in the past, the protession has always ignored the call for change. As the itiportance of city planning coritinues to increase, therefore, the need tore-examine the activities of planners becomes critical. The current behaviour of planners and of the ,Canadian b&titute of Planners has cot come about as a result of social uncertainty, professional unawareness or even inst.itutiQnal hiip _ On the contrary, Canada’s pl&ers and their sacred proression have constantly been warned of their continuing withdrawal from urban reality. Yet, in the face of considerable, criticism and ,countIess aauger signs, planners have consciously responded not with reform, but rather by becoming increasingly smug and qoof at the level of their individual practice and by accelerating. their self-serving elitist pursuits at the level of their professional institute.

of change

\The planning pr&fasion’s nex$ significant encounter with an advocate of change was at Saskatoon in the summed of 1972. The setting was the professiOn’s annual get-together. Kent Gerecke, a doctoral studetit in planning at the Uti( versity of British Columbia, was invited to TPIC’s Conference top&sent a report on the future of planning in Canada. ’ 1~ doing so, Gerecke essentially called for change in the profession.

& substance of his paper had been gleaned from extensjv&esearch on Canada’s planners-the-way they operate, the things they do, the methods they use. In fact, Gerecke’s analysis revealed whz% he called “the paradox of Canadian city planning”-the em&g@ incongruence between the type of planning that has been created%& changing Canadian society, which.he illustrzlted with a simple diagram. Gerecke’s reseilrch showed-that today’s planni!ng is based on a bureaucratic model that emph@zes da&today adminismtion, , shuns citizen participation, uses an inward methodology.and places’morefaith in plan@ng per se thanin the content of the’ plan. Gerecke offered a-clear chzillenge to tk planning profession: i: ‘We must seriously ask whether there &a crisis in Canadian city planning.‘Obvic&sly, such depetids on one’s interpretation. f ‘If you want planning to maintain and .expand its role as a major contributof to public policy, then there is a crisis. On the other hand, if you wish the ptofession to stabilize and merely m-to facilitate urban growth, then there is no crisis.” Having raised the question, Gerecke made clear his own position: “I accept that there is a crisis in Canadian city planning, which relates to Our infatuation with power and our hab@ty to adapt to changing times.” , The planners gathered in Saska&on were npt, however, at all/receptive to ,Gerecke’s fmdin& and were quit.6 unprepared to acceptps challenge. This was made quite clear fo G&X& during the evening social function when he w&s attacked and insulted by two past presidents of the institute.

Urban planning continued

from

Planners as a professional body in this country have not only failed to speak as a unified and socially responsible voice on urban issues of national significance, but instead have endeavoured to acquire professional, intellectual and socie ta1 credibility through the establishment of a professional organization (TPICICUIP) imbued with a philosophy of elitism, conservatism and self-preservation.

In the special session at the Charlottetown conference, designed to raise the issues relating to the failures of the planning profession, James Lorimer was invited to give his perspective on the activities of city planners. Lorimer initiated the challenge by observing that the planning profession has aligned itself solidly with property interests that now exist in urban affairs, and that, in fact, the commitment of planners to the, property industry is increasing. In cities like Vancouver and Toronto when people have found theinselves in opposition to the policies which planners are promoting, they have been forced to start from scratch to work out their own analyses of what city planning should be doing and their own approaches to city planning problems. And they have arrived at a position which is more

stant critic of Canada’s planning profession, who in examining the rationale for the existence of a professional institute, pointed out that planners are far more interested in careers, salaries and licensing than helping ordinary citizens. The institute, in his opinion, was more or less an economic union. In an amazing confirmation of this statement, Michael Kusner, chairman of the planning program at Ryerson Polytechnical Institute (one of the schools of planning in Canada “recognized” by CIP) told the audience that they were. naive if they thought that CIP was anything but an economic union. In the end, the Charlottetown deliberations produced nothing in the way of change within the Canadian Institute of Planners. This was, perhaps to be expected, since less than a month prior to the Charlottetown showdown, CIP’s president Bill Thomson (Commissioner of Planning for the Region of Waterloo in Ontario) had set the intellectual climate by branding professional selfevolution as ‘ ‘navel gazing’ ’ (planners’ favourite cop-out when faced with any activity which resembles a scrutiny of their behaviour or performance.) In any case, the much hoped for dialogue and subsequent action on the issue of planning and society turned out to be a monologue by those advocating change. Change was the last thing the profession wanted to entertain. It was Lorimer who provided a fitting end to the Charlottetown charade. For those of you who feel fairly comfortable with what city planning had done and what it is doing now-well, I’m pleased to discover that there are situations where you are able to get together and say these things to each other and to reinforce your strength to deal with us when you come across us in . political debate. This is a fight for power. I think there is no doubt that there are some of us on one side and there ure a lot of you on the other side.

maturity

Taking these rather futile efforts at effecting change within the planning profession as a point of reference, let us look at some of the profession’s most recent activities. Recently, the planning institute has been determined to strengthen and expand its geographic dominance in Canada. The planning profession in Quebec-le Corporation des Urbanistes du Quebec-had long been a holdout from CIP. However, by 1974 CUQ had been persuaded to align itself with CIP and Quebec City became the host for the 1974 conference and annual general * meeting. This affair-was calm and collected with most ses- sions amounting to little-more than an English Canadian exercise in flag-waving, the main effort being to convince the Quebec planners of the good fortune in finally being part of CIP. About this same time, however, CIP did launch an interesting in-house project. A questionnaire, designed to “gather some basic information on the nature of our membership and their expectations of was circulated to all members. the Institute”, The results offer some interesting perspectives on the planning profession. When asked, “Why did you join CIP?” or “What do you feel are the main beresponse was nefits in CIP?“, the most predominant ‘ ‘communication’ ’. This is a rather strange response, however, in view of the kind of “communication” which actually occurs within CIP. The major means of communicaand tion are the newsletter, Plan Canada and the annual most conference. has The newsletter is published regularly (about 10 issues a year) but its contents are decidedly munof dane, discussing few things of any consequence. conPlan Canada, a rather scholarly review, appears on

a very irregular basis and is read by less than one quarter of CIP’s membership (according to a survey conducted a few years ago). In terms of face-to-face contact, the annual conference is merely a meeting ground for the profession’s mandarins, since few younger and junior members can afford to come on their own and fewer still are sent by their agencies. Thus, communications would seem to be a motherhood issue masking other motives. In .the survey results, ‘ ‘professionalism” and “credibility” were also singled out as major reasons for membership in CIP. Fearful of their tenuous public and professional status, planners respond not with efforts to display their social utility but rather seek to assure their identity with the initials “M.C.I.P.” and other institutional paraphernalia which they can display on their walls or place in their wallets. There have been moves afoot to legislate and hence legalize the planners’ perceived “right” to professional status. The survey indicated that many planners favour licensing and registration of their profession. Supporters of such action claim thattightening up the profession would improve ‘ ‘public responsibility.” This is a strange perspective, since the public will hardly be better served by a group determined to become as elitist and aloof as some of today’s “senior” professions. In reality, the licensing and registration of planners is a ploy, designed primarily to strengthen their ability to bargain more successfully in the market place; it has little to do with“public responsibility.” Meanwhile,.things continue to get worse, the 1975 meeting of Canada’s planners in Vancouver produced more of the same type of petty, institutional thinking. But more of the same thing is more of the wrong thing, despite the belief of Mark Dorfman, the current president of CIP, that planning is now on the threshold of renaissance. On the contrary, planning in Canada today is in a more critical state than ever. Planners have consciously aligned themselves with the forces of the status quo, and have, through their daily activities and professional posture, clearly decided to ignore the planning paradox cited by Gerecke. What are the reasons for-planners having adopted such a position? While one could engage in endless intellectual or professional nit-picking, it seems that the fundamental problem is that planning was never founded with any supporting ideological principles of its own. Instead, planning took its lead and developed its role in response to the whims of the market place

The match-cover message of the Hamilton-. Wentworth Planning agency-a public agency -while more blatant than most planning departments , underscores this point. profession in Unquestionably , the planning Canada has grown. Its membership ranks become larger each year (now over 1600 members). HOWever, this process is more akin to bloating, since it assumes no intellectual or societal maturation. As Richard Bolan so succinctly notes, “The maintenance of the specialist group becomes of paramount concern to its members and the group is seen to become an interest bent on promoting its own status, power and resources within society.“’ Canada’s emerging planning profession certainly fits the Bolan organizational model.

Roots of the-crisis

’

There are many reasons-both historic and contemporary-which account for the current crisis in Canadian city planning. Historically, Canada’s planning tradition is not rooted in this country, but rather is a “‘heritage” of British and later American influence. Under the leadership of Thomas Adams, a British planner working in Canada between 1914 and 1921, the Town Planning Institute of Canada was formed in 1919. Consisting principally of surveyors. engineers Y architects and lawyers who were interested in the new field of town planning, the Canadian Planning progression began to thrive. But between 1932 and 1946 the profession vanished, giving way to the two national priorities of that era-namely depression and war. Then in the late 194Os, planning experienced a significant rejuvenation. What occurred at that point established a trend in Canadian city planning which still pervades much of the planning field today. Anthony Adamson excellently depicts these events.

cacy to the vocabulary of Canadian planning. However, the American notion of planning and public interest was merely a microcosm of the broader social and economic injustices which characterize the United States---As Herbert Gans succinctly noted when discussing planners and public interest there, “The public interest turns out to be primarily their own (planners) interest and that of their business and upper-middle class constituencies’ ’ . Or as Henry Fagan later acknowledged, “The truth is that for half a century our profession has specialized predominantly in advocacy planning for the business community.” Of course, Robert Goodman’s later characterization of planners as “the soft cops” was the ultimate condemnation of planning in the United States. As a result of these influences, we see, in 1975, a planning profession in Canada which, at the practitioner level, continues for the most part to be dominated by British trained planners in senior positions, and which, at the academic level is directed by Americans. There are, unfortunately, still only a handful of Canadian-education specialists in urban planning currently teaching in our planning schools. While these historic events account for much of what has already occurred in Canadian urban planning and characterize this country’s response to urban issues, numerous contemporary circumstances continue to perpetuate and in fact reinforce these earlier directions in planning.

Jobs and credibility As Canada urbanized and accordingly as govemment mobilized themselves to cope with the perceived need to plan and manage growth in a “rational” and “holistic” fashion, people educated in planning became a sought-after commodity. At the same time, the private sector began to engage planners so as to feign a commitment to public interest and community goals. And to accotiodate these varying needs for plan-

planning function has tended, unhappily, to pervert contemporary attempts at restructuring and reorientingb Canadian plannitig education. As one professor of planning recently pointed out, the major preoccupation among planning students is the need for “tools” that will be marketable. Interest in a phil’osophy of planning or a planning ideology has apparently been dropped by the wayside in TX recent yea&. Hence the prospects for change in the planning‘ profession are dismal. As planning becomes more and more widely acclaimed as a useful social function, and as schools of planning turn out more aspiring MCIP’ers, the gap between planners and the people with real urban and social problems grows. Efforts to influence and persuade practicing planners of the need for change, as we have seen, have failed. The question now is whether it is possible to influence and indeed change the approaches to planning in the future by achieving a substantial shift in the education offered in planning schools. Unfortunately, there is little reason for optimism in this respect. Writing recently in City Magazine, Gerald Hodge, Director of the School of Urban and Regional Planning at Queen’s University, observed that, “it would be both arrogant and irrelevant to teach planning courses for the ideology of the day, no matter whose.” To suggest as Hodge does, however, that the Canadian planner of the future cati be “all things to all men” is’ surely ridiculous in an era when the social, political and economic inequities of our present society are becoming more and mpre sharply defined. As Aaron Wildavsky so neatly summarizes , “If planning is everything, maybe it is nothing.”

The urban future The underlying issue in this discussion is: what is to be d?&e to redirect urban policies at all levels so as to begin to redress the inequities that continue to characterize urban Canada? -- The fundamental question for planners is: what role will planners play in solving this issue and in

“It Gas then found (after World War II) that there were no planners in Canada. They taught the British the rudiments qf colonial life and then let them loose in the blood stream of the country . . . We put up the greatest song and dance today ifan American is made chief of police or an art gallery curator, but the British takeover of planning in the 1940s was massive and we did not object.”

The significanse of this early infusion of Britishtrained planners into Canada cannot be overstated. For, the British imports, facing no Canadian opposition, advanced quickly and soon occupied many senior positions in all the major public planning and housing agencies in Cariada. * Also, in the years which followed, as Canada endeavoured to develop its own education programs in planning, many British-trained planners gravitated toward these new academic posts. Unfortunately, the British training and experience were not (and indeed are certainly not today) appropriate for Canada’s emerging urban problems. Sadly, the British preoccupation with the physical details of land use and their extremely narrow view of the complex interrelationship among the multitude of variables which influence the quality and form of cities, became deeply ingrained in Canadian planning thought and practice. Perhaps, most serious of the deficiencies in the British approach to planning was the relentless desire to accumulate, ccntralize and legislate more and more planning power and control. Accompanying this emphasis on the expansion of planning authority, the British ignored the role of the public in planning. Consequently, what emerged in Canada throughout the 1950s and early 1960s was a planning model in which planners were totally detached fi-om the dynamics which characterize urban issues. The British belief that planning is a value-free, apolitical science to be practiced with rigorous precision, employing a grab bag of pseudo tools and having a “new Town” fixation was the unfortunate legacy the British planners bequeathed to Canada. This approach contines to haunt-both intellectually and practically-planning in this country today. While the British planning model established the basis for Canadian city planning, the American influence must also be considered. The influx of U.S. planning into Canada tended not to significantly affect the narrow practice of planning as introduced by the British. Certainly, there is no event in the history of U.S. involvement in Canadian planning which parallels the British invasion of the late 1940s. Nevertheless, the U.S. influence had its impact. First, the substantial U.S. takeover of Canadian universities which peaked during the 196Os, included schools of urban and regional planning. This U .S. input into planning education and practice brought about a slight shift away from the British concern for efficient patterns of land use, and introduced pluralism, public interest and advo-

a very active urban consulting ning expertise, fraternity developed. Consequently, in the past few years there has been a notable acceleration in the number of positions available to individuals with backgrounds in planning. As a result of this increased demand there has been a rather rapid and significant elevation in the salaries paid to planners. Of course, one might say that the increase in job opportunities and money offered is not necessarily bad, for clearly this country requires planners. However, this recent demand for planners has had two perverse effects on Canadian planning. First, the general acceptance of planning has enhanced and indeed entrenched traditional approaches to planning, which are now being called into question. This makes it increasingly difficult to dislodge the planning mandarins who, while they consciously ignore the need for social change, will now work even harder to protect their well-paying, influential positions. Secondly, the growing acknowledgement of the

formulating the necessary new directions for urban policy? For an answer to these questions, there seems little point in looking to the schools of planning which have.opted for an educational curriculum designed to affirm the status quo. Nor is there much point in looking to the planners’ professional club, CIP, which seems quite content to ignore evrything but self-serving professional interests. The establishment planners have worked long and hard to discount the critics who tried to promote the debate on the need for altemative approaches to planning. In the past, they have been able to shrug off with no apparent difficulty the challenges from insiders to open their work up to more critical scrutiny. As these planners work to improve their bargaining power as professionals through the introduction of licensing and registration measures, it becomes more important than ever to break through their monopoly for status quo planning and its derivative intellectual tradition in Canada.

Some members of the university’s track and field teams competed in the Ontario Senior Championships in Toronto on Feb 7. The meet was well attended by Ontario’s best athletes including many National team‘members. Rick Heemskerk suffered his first defeat in the high jump to Scaba Doza of Etobicoke. Both jumpers cleared 2.08m (6’10”) but Rick had one more miss at this height to place second. The two will co-mpete at the Canadian Senior Championships to be held in Edmonton on Feb. 21. Waterloo distance runners Ted McKeigan and Mike Lanigan produced their best times ever at this meet. Ted, placing second in his heat and fourth overall, ran a speedy 8:24.8 3OOOm race. Ted is looking forward to running the 2 mile event at the University section of the Maple Leaf Indoor Games on Feb. 13. Mike Lanigan ran his personal best time in the 15OOm event to place 5th. Mike was the third Ontario athlete and thus just missed a spot on the provincial team for Edmonton. Mike’s time was 3:51.5 which is equivalent to a 4:08.5 mile. Mike’s next big race is the Canadian Mile at the invitational section of the Maple Leaf Games. . Gord Robertson picked up two fifth place finishings in the 50m hurdles (7.5 seconds) and the triple jump (44’ 10”). Gord’s final jump was over 46 feet but a foot foul nullified the jump. Barb Chitovas and Chris Young, the Athena javelin pair, took sixth and seventh in the shot put event. Both are hoping to have an indoor shot put circle built in order to help them better prepare for the OWIAA championships Mar. 6. The Waterloo sprinters, Doug Denike, Jeff Mohun, Steve Keating and Clive McKenzie were shut out of the finals in the 50m dash. However, all but Clive made the semi-finals while no other university team had more than one qualify. This should mean a very quick relay team at the OUAA championships.

The Molson’s Ontario University Ski Series is under way for another season, offering some of Ontario’s best alpine - skiers a chance to display their talent in the seven event series. Interest in alpine skiing on the university level has expanded greatly over the past few. years. With the introduction of Molson’s as the co-sponsor, competitive alpine skiing has become possible for ski racers who previously did not have the opportunity while attending university. The series is now into its third year and has received ski teams from nearly all the Ontario universities. This year there are 15 teams in the series representing the universities of ,Toronto, Queen’s, Carleton, Waterloo, Western, Trent, Guelph, McMaster, Royal Military College, York, Ottawa, Laurentian, Brock, Windsor and Lakehead. Usually about 50 hopefuls try out for the six men’s and five women’s positions on each team. As expected, most university teams are represented by some very big names in alpine skiing such as the 1975 men’s champion Phil Gaulin of Ottawa-a former Can Am team member and Ginny Honeyman of Queen’s, a former national team member who shared honours for the women’s 1975 Championship with Val Watson of Ottawa. Other accomplished racers on the circuit this year are Gord Acton, Ottawa and Al Safrata, Toronto, both former National Ski

Busy Day for Intramurals:

Saturday, February 21 looks like it’s going to be a busy day for the Intramural athletes o The gym in the PAC will be the site for the Table Tennis Tournament which is scheduled to get underway at 11:30a.m. and run until around 5 :OOp.m. Also, at the Elmira Curling Club, the Men’s Curling Tourney will start around 8:30 - 9:00 a.m. The way in which the draws will run allows for 16 teams only and each team is guaranteed 3 games. Last year’s tournament was quite a success with St. Jeromes taking the championship away from Optometry. It should be interesting to see who comes out on top this year as St. Jeromes, Optometry and Engineering have all shared the title of champion in the last few years. So if you’re not doing much on February 21, maybe drop in at the gym to take in some fine Table Tennis or go to the Curling Club and watch a few. rocks being thrown around. Also, for those of you who will be curling, you will be able to purchase refreshments at the Club’s Snack Bar. Floor Hockey Men’s competitive floor hockey is well under way this term with 28 teams entered. The league is subdivided into two Tuesday night and

two Thursday night divisions in order to give each team the maximal number of games and playing time. The top four teams finishing in each league division will qualify for the playoffs to be held in midMarch. In League 1 (Tuesday) the veteran Raiders appear to be leading the pack with the Albert St. Anals not far off the pace. You can bet you will see these two in the finals. 3A Chem Eng have a point lead in league 2 (Tuesday) followed by both 2A Chem Eng and 3B Elect Eng tied for second. Another tight puck is league 3 (Thursday) with System Ucks and Mech ‘76 holding a point lead over the Plumber’s Choice and Rivets both tied for second. Fans can catch the action on Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 3:45 - 11:00 p.m. at Seagram Stadium.

Throwers Delight: In the past few years the gym floor in the PAC has been the site of frisbee throwing demonstrations during half times at such basketball tournaments as the CIAU and the Naismith. During the fairly amazing demonstration of skill and technique, we all just sit back and say to ourselves. “Wow, that would be really neat to be able to do!” Well, Brock U. has issued a challenge open to all Ontario Universities , to a frisbee contest consisting of indoor ultimate frisbee and/or free style frisbee and for all of you who happen to be frisbee experts or amateur or even those who have never thrown a frisbee, if you are interested, please contact the Intramural Office, no later than Feb. 24, for further info ! Change in Date! The Men’s Broomball Tournament has been announced to start the week of March 5. However, there has been a scheduling change and now the games will commence Wednesday, March 3. Cross Country Skiing! Last week, we announced that maps of cross country trails were available at the Intramural Office PAC. Well, there is a copy of the original map on page 14 and if you hurry there are still a few left and can be picked up at the Intramural Office PAC.

The Warriors battered Western 108-72 in a game which, because of Western’s ineptness and the Warrior’s mass substitution, sometimes degenerated into a disjointed affair. The Warriors had a season high of six players in double figures as all 12 players played well.

The Warrior game with Guelph takes place Saturday night in Guelph. Since the seating is limited, fans are advised to get there early (like 6:45 or 7:00 p.m.) The game is being billed as the St. Valentines Day Massacre. Rumour has it that somewhere in the village, buses are being organized to transport fans to the game.

It looks like Waterloo, Guelph, Laurier and Windsor, not necessarily in that order will advance to the piayoffs . Guelph, Laurier and Windsor must meet each other and

Waterloo has one game with Guelph. Therefore, as the contenders clash, final playoff spots may not be decided until the final league games, February 21.

Larman riddled Western’s press with excellent dribbling and passing to spring the Warrior’s men free for numerous fast break opportunities. The win by the Warriors coupled by the Guelph loss to Windsor (92-74) means that the Warriors could move to first with wins over Mat and Guelph this week.

battle for second

spot

Puck Warriors With one game each remaining, Guelph e University of ryphons and the University of aterloo Warriors are still battling r that all important second place lot in the OUAA Western Divi3n. It is important for three reasons: ) the second place team receives e home-ice advantage for the iarter-final, (2) the second place &her will likely play McMaster, rd (3) the third place finisher ust face the powerful Western ustangs in London. Tonight the Warriors will host aurier at the Waterloo Arena ame time is 8%)) while Saturday ill see Guelph finish their regular :hedule against Ottawa.

Presently Waterloo is in third place with, 19 points, just one back of Guelph. Prior to Tuesday evening the Warriors were in second place until Guelph unexpectedly upset a strong York hockey club, Ron 9-5. Former Warriors Hawkshaw and Peter Asheral are with that Yeoman team. The Warriors must beat their rivals from down the street, then hope that Guelph loses to Ottawa tomorrow, otherwise they will play Western next week in London for the quarter-final. One might expect Laurier to be an easy win, looking at their inconsistent record this season, but it is well known that they play stubborn hockev at the barn.

mmust win. tonight At the same time that Guelph was beating York last Tuesday, the Toronto Varsity Blues were in town for an exhibition encounter against the Warriors. After dropping two previous contests, 7-4 and 4-3, the team wanted to win this one badly to prove that they could beat the Blues once this year before the playoffs. A dismal turnout of not more than 300 people watched the Blues take their third win in three starts against the Warriors this year. The final score was 6-4. Both teams played carelessly at times though Toronto showed good puck control on the powerplay. Ex-player Gord Davies took over the coaching duties for absent coach Tom Watt, who is at the Winter Olympics. Waterloo just couldn’t seem to get started and were often disorganized in their own end. They had trouble clearing the puck from around their net and were less than efficient at getting out of their own end. They had numerous scoring opportunities, especially near the end of the game, but coundn’t capitalize on their chances. Dave Roake and Ken Ruhnke picked up two goals each while Ron Harris and Bill Fifield added one each. Ruhnke’s second goal was scored into an empty net when coach Bob McKillop decided to pull Jake Dupuis late in the game for an extra attacker. Defenceman Randy Stubel and Bill Daub scored in the first period which ended in a tie. Then Harry Robock scored on a deflection early in the second and Waterloo had the lead again. Toronto came back and the period ended with the score tied. Then at 13:19 of the third period Robock scored his second of the

In my previous columns, I have neglected to mention the numerous successes of the UW “C” Chess team which has a fine 3-1 record in its matches. I shall ensure that this situation is rectified in future columns. The following game was the bright spot of the otherwise unfortunate match between the UW No. 1 “9” Chess Team and the London No. 2J’B” Chess Team. Rick Martin, the captain of the UW team successfully tamed the Dragon variation of the Sicilian Defence essayed by Kelly Riley of the London team. Sicilian White: R. Martin 1. P-K4 2. N-K93 _. 3. P-Q4 ’ 4. NXP 5. N-Q93

Defence Black: K. Riley P-Q94 ’ P-Q3 PXP N-K93 P-KN3

The fianchetto of Black’s King Bishop is the characteristic feature of the Dragon Variation of the Sicilian Defence. In recent years the numerous victories gained by White with the Yugoslav Attack against the Dragon Variation have resulted in its virtual disappearance from serious play. In the Yugoslav Attack White solidifies his center with P-93 which also has the merit of preventing a later . . ., N-KNS by Black, and continues with B-K3 and Q-Q2 with the idea of instituting a vicious King-side attack by B-KR6 and P-KR4-5. If Black allows White to open the King Rook file and exchange dark squared Bishops, his King’s chances of survival will be very doubtful. B-N2 6. B-K3 Note that 6. . . ., N-KNS? costs a piece after 7. B-N5ch! r( o-o 7. P-93 N-Q93 8. Q-Q2 9. B-94 The old 9. O-O-O permits Black equality after 9. . . ., P-Q4! B-Q2 9. . . .

Schoolboys h disgrace stu

I really haven’t come into contct with the Kinks that often but it oesn’t matter in this case. choolboys In Disgrace is a dedica)n to the “happiest days” of iildhood. You guessed it -schooldays. Like anything I’ve ver heard of the Kinks, it’s crazy. ut I really like it. Or maybe that’s ,hy I really like it. Grant it, the musical talents of iese guys are not anything incredjle, but the story around which the ursic is played is sad, violent, ruel, happy and all so true. I mean applies to all of us I’m sure. How lany time’s do you get together ith old high school buddies and, rhether you say it or not, you link-wow man, high school was :ally a good time. At least then you could commnicate with your classmates. low you get together and usually, nless it’s reminiscing, there really n’t that much in common with rem. Where did they all go anyray? (choke, sob) “As we stood at ie last assembly all my friends 2rne to wish me goodbye.” (sob, hoke)

Ahh yes, high school memories. This album makes them quite easy. You don’t have to bother trying to remember your happiest days, just listen to Schoolboys In Disgrace. All the memories are supplied by the Kinks. Remember that first lay? Well they talk about it in the song “I’m In Disgrace”. =* “It wasn’t lust, it wasn’t It was just a mistake.”

rape.

Remember all those confused emotions? How could you forget them? Somehow I keep thinking the Kinks are being slightly critical of the Mothers on this album. I can’t figure out why, the thought just keeps reoccuring. But knowing the Mothers they were probably quite critically copying the Kinks at some time or __other.-_ Anyway, this album is quite fine from a lyrical point of view. The Kinks lead vocalist Raymond Douglas Davies wrote the entire score. Quite a wit that twit’s got. I’d have to give the ‘song of the album award’ to the one entitled “Jack the Idiot Dunce.” Quite a -

1 beat that. But lyric-wise the song “Education” is the best. “ .thanks to all the ’* mathematicians and the inventors with their high IQ’s and the, professors in their colleges trying to feed me knowledge that I know I’ll never use . . .” If you are into high school memories and a few good laff and a halfs get this album. Really. You can’t miss it. It’s got a picture of a school boy hanging a moon waiting for the headmaster’s cane, tears flowing. Schoolboys In Disgrace is a decent album. It’s on the RCA label. A rating of 7 is far better than I thought it would get until I heard it. -p:d.

COMMENT ON QUESTION 1: The question is biased in the sense that the questioner assumes that there is some kind of satisfaction in doing research. I would - also like to point out that research work at a university is generally done by graduate students with the professor acting as the supervisor and judge. COMMENT ON QUESTION 2: It is in my opinion impossible to predict with any certainty how research affects life of people and it is consequently an exercise in futility to predict how it could affect life of people. I don’t understand what you mean by ordinary people. May I ask the questioner, does he consider himself to be an ordinary man or not. COMMENT ON QUESTION 3: This question shows how little the questioner kiows about research. Research in general is so broad, so com-

or what to think

What kind of satisfaction do I get from my research? What kind of question is this? It seems rather in the same vein as: “How much do you enjoy sex?” The reply: “A lot and as frequently as possible”, muld be an accurate but non-informative reply to both questions. I’ll try to be more lucid. Several years ago my thesis supervisor put it this way: “The joy of research is the warm glow of satisfaction at having finally put together previously unrelated pieces into a coherent whole.” A researcher is a seeker of truth. Guileful truth is the wicked seduc’tress who flirts and teases encouragement to her naive suitors. Those r&e and fleeting moments when she affords a momentary glance; she is simplybeautiful. Those moments are my satisfaction. How do the results of my research affect the everyday life of ordinary people? That one is easy to answer.

A profession, engineering being one, can be defined as a self-selected, self-disciplined group of individuals who ho/d themselves out to the public as possessing a special skill in the interests of others. This has some rather far reaching implications; it means that it is the responsibility of the engineering profession not only to provide some very necessary safeguards to the publicbut to contribute in a beneficial way to society, as a who/e, and to encourage the proper utilization of engineers, who are, at the undergraduate /eve/, heavily supported by the public purse. As you can appreciate, the public is entitled to and is beginning to expect a reasonable return on its investment. Following are some excerpts from an article by Hugh McQueen who is professor of mechanical engineering at Concordia University. The title of his article was: Engineering EducationChanges Lagging Behind.

Today in the planning and management of technology, the engineer must be willing and able to consider social and ecological values. Studies in the humanities and social sciences, requisite preparation for such a role, do not receive sufficient emphasis in the engineering schools in Canada. Need for curriculum changes Through increase in quantity, power, sophistication and efficiency of processes and products, the engineer has contributed to society many benefits: freedom from drudgery,famine and disease; expanded opportunity for culture and communication; and increased choices of individual development and creative activity. However the engineer, like most members of the consumer society, generally failed to foresee the indirect “disbenefits” which have accompanied industrial growth. Mechanization causes obsolecence of technical skills and reorganization of industry which induces severe social dislocations. Shoddy design and workmanship result in consumer products which function unsatisfactorily or even dangerously. Natural resources are not rationally conserved for the real longterm needs of society but are often squandered on products the need . . for which was created only by advertising . Concentration of industry and inadequate waste control are causing damaging pollution. The rapidity and power of machines give rise to psychological stresses such as hyper-tension, impotency and depersonalization. Now that society’s accomplishments at directing the forces of nature have reached

the level that it is truly creating its own environment, thus becoming a geomorphic threat, all its members have the responsibility of appraising the hazards associated with the various faults of its present lifestyle and of undertaking political action to bring about reform. With the general recognition of the distressing features of technological growth, the engineer has become aware that he has the duty to give more consideration to the indirect effects of his technical undertakings and to the socially constructive use of natural resources. The introduction of humanities or social sciences into the engineering program of studies is necessary to assist the student to develop the perspective -and maturity needed to meet the profession’s extended responsibilities. The need for such curriculum changes has been pointed out by many members of the profession. However, a recent survey indicates that engineering educators have not responded with great enthusiasm. Most engineering instructors are prepared to neglect this area in their fervor for presenting a comprehensive up-to-date technical program. In addition to teaching, they are so deeply involved in pursuing research or seeking technical innovations that they harbor no greater concern for social or ecological consequences of technological change than the average citizen. Graduate programs also need changing 1 In traditional graduate programs, the training is usually extremely specialized and tied in with experimental work. However, in

”

Sampson, of bad

I’m afraid news for

recent years, considerable interest has developed in a master’s degree program which would improve the graduate engineer’s professional competence. The program of studies retains an area of specialization but leaves scope for a wider range of studies. The curricula of such graduate programs have not received as much scrutiny nor been so well defined by professional bodies as have undergraduate -programs. Since an understanding of sociological and political factors are important aspects of engineering practice, a graduate student should be able to elect some courses in this area. It is particularly appropriate that they be included in the continuing education program, since many candidates did not receive adequate instruction in this area as undergraduates. * The courses offered would be intended to provide depth of information and comprehensive analysis in specialized areas; they should not survey a wide range of concerns as do the undergraduate courses. Course topics worthy of consideration include: energy and resources, information transfer and science policy, technology assessment, industrial safety, electronic technology and social control, urban environment and transportation, pollution damage and control, etc. A Conclusion We can no longer ignore the necessity

including appropriate studies in the humanities and social sciences in the engineer’s education. With the exception of a few institutions, the faculties of engineering in Canada badly need to improve their programs of liberal studies. While engineering educators deserve such an admonition, practitioners of other disciplines and the public at large should realize that they also have an obligation to increase their understanding of the social consequences of technology.

the issue:

The C. A.B. requirements were slightly amended last year. These requirements, by and large, have the support of the deans of engineering in Canada as well as the profession. One area we must satisfy is that of non-technical electives. I would hope that we have reached the stage in our faculty where we may meet this requirement not because it is a requirement but because we believe it’s essential to the education of our students. Only faculty members, as a group, can effectively bring about changes in curriculum concepts. I believe we should look anew at our non-technical offerings. The A.S.E. E. is replete with statements, exhortations and the philosophy of engineering education. Much of these writings may be summed up by the following quote: “Certainly the successful engineer is one who can bring to his work most wide-ranging problem solving abilities. And many of the most lems he must face are those whose answers will not be found in courses. These are problems concerning people, sociological needs, ments, political decisions. The complexity of our society today makes cannot handle such problems not only limited but dangerous.”

In my view, we should begin to seriously consider offering a package of integrated non-technical electives in addition to economics which will introduce the engineer to the “intangibles” in his equations. I am asking the undergraduate committee and the associate dean to begin this activity. We have a difficult job to do. Our students must have a basic knowledge of Science, Engineering Science, Design, and an understanding of the society in which we must work-all in four years. In my view, it is much more important to understand the basics, have a social overview and leave the second or third course in a specialty to the graduate level or to his continuing education.

dity and environment

’

The present controversy over environmental and hereditary determinants of intelligence can be very instructive to those of us interested in political and environmental action. It can show us the inappropriateness of models of causation and explanation developed in other areas of investigation. Also, it shows us how the misapplication of such models lead to blatantly ideological statements being made in the name of science. During a recent television program (The Great Debate), Shockley implied that there was an analogy between the different intelligence of a race .horse and a plough horse and different I.Q. scores of white and black Americans. The analogy is based upon so many separate things, needing evaluation in their own regard, that it w LS a surprise to hear this suggested in the name of “science”. How do we define and measure intelligence? Certainly a race horse can outrun a plough horse buthave you ever seen a race horse plough a field of dry red clay? Clearly a value judgment was being made by Shockley. More important, it was being presented as though it was a self-evident fact. Can we fruitfully make analogies between other animals and ourselves? If Shockley’s horse analogy was to be translated into human realities it could easily conflict with his intention. How many Ph. D.‘s have you seen lately playing in the highly skillful U.S. National Basketball league? The attempt to stereotype intelligence and argue a hereditary racial case, in the name of science, is based upon several basic errors. For one thing an I.Q. test cannot be considered as an exact source of facts in the same (at the atomic, not way “observations” sub-atomic level) in physics can. No tidy analogy can be drawn between humans evaluating atoms and humans evaluating other humans. These different forms of inquiry create a different order, of “facts”, and the latter social facts are prone, as Shockley’s silly analogy shows, to extreme ideological influence. -Second, it is not possible to definitively control for so-called factors (e.g. “heredity”, ‘ ‘environment’ ‘) in researching ‘ ‘intelligence’ ’ . For one thing any way intelligence is defined tends to rule out other kinds of behaviour which might be considered intelligent from another perspective and experience. As such, the argument can easily become circular (e.g. m iddle class life styles and skills becoming the criteria for the whole population.) Third, Shockley’s belief that since twins have the same home “they have the same environment” is absurd. (So is the related belief that valid mathematical statements can be made about the amount of hereditary influence on intelligence). Perhaps a physicist observing particles moving in a vacuum chamber can assume, for the purposes of the experiment, that there exists the same environment (this can actually be disputed). People, however, do not experience their environment the way an orthodox physicist defines the environment of a particle. Twins have their personal experience and meanings of the “same” home environment. Their I.Q. scores therefore cannot be the basis of a factor analysis of hereditary versus environmental influences on I.Q. scores. When I was teaching psychology in the 60’s in Saskatchewan I naively assumed that this stereotyped, naive treatment of intelligence had been adequately exposed. But I failed to consider the possibility that the false extrapolation of simplistic methods in a branch of physics (Shockley received the Nobel Prize for-helping develop a transistor in the Bell laboratories) would attempt to salvage racialistically based arguments Race (which is a stupid term) will not exp-

lain different I.Q. scores anymore than it will explain Shockley ‘s false logic. Jim Harding Man-environment Studies

Chevron layout This letter is a comment on the layout of the FEEDBACK section in last week’s chevron. Perceptive readers will have noticed the graphics, “Instant Bag o’ Shit”, conveniently situated beside letters from concerned students and their complaint against the injustices of the Federation election. Make no mistake. This was not an accident! Again we call students’ attention to the tactics used to discredit those with beliefs running counter to the oppressive philosophy of the Federation. A democratic Federation? Definitely not, and they continue to confirm this to students everyday. Clara Kisko Sala Bachir Kathy Bergen Dianne Chapitis Marrissio Pardo Phil Fernandez Steve Pamiak Jenn Goerge Kandeny Mulheardy Chris Jones Rick DeGrass

Erroneous fabrications There were two letters

in last week’s “feedback” to which I take exception on grounds of their factual errors and sentiment. Clara Kisko’s letter includes an “attack” on students. She suggests that two “lines” were developed during the campaign-a “progressive” one and a “reactionary” one. The so-called line for which the majority of the voting students cast their ballot, in terms of candidates, is labelled as “reactionary” -in spite of it being the only position with an elaborated strategy to combat the cutbacks. As regards Dianne Chapitis’ letter, there are several fabrications. Rorrison was never offered any “reward” for whatyou suggest I refer to as “the main enemy of the students”. (If I were to use a label for the Maoists, it would probably be “the main embarassment to the students and left at UW”). When I talked to Morrison in December he had just lost his second election. He is a man with ideas and experience who I had hoped would join me rather than spending more time and energy in losing a third election. As regards NUS, no one “intervened” in the election on my behalf but NUS itself responded to a full’page statement by Fernandez that was packed with factual errors (unless we want to interpret them as lies).

Witty Whity!! Wilson Lison. Do you have a minority friend? I ask this question because many of my witty whity readers will say yes before you read what I have to say but will you still say yes after reading this article? When a white person meets a minority for the first time he is usually cautious) watching every word he says so as not to offend him and have him violently explode. After a few casual meetings for some strange reason the Witty Whity starts to think he’s getting to know his minority friend (who is still really only an acquaintance) and starts calling him names of ethnic jargon. To many ignorant whites this is being his friend. In the act of white friendship such jargon as polock, packie, wop, sunshine, spook, smile I can’t see you, nigger and various other Bullshit statements from Witty Whites. Some minority groups don’t like this jargon but tolerate it.

Friends and acquaintances, my tolerance level has been saturated. I can no longer bear this unnecessary burden of white ignorance. I am a minority and to me, a friend is someone get to know, and in knowing that individu af and in claiming his friendship I learn to respect him as a human being. I address ;him with respect at all times trying not to embarass him, but letting him know I love and respect our friendship which is so hard to come by. This is how I treat people who I feel are my friends and acquaintances and this is how I and other minorities would like to be treated. I ask you, if you have a minority you consider a friend, try to make life easier for him by following my good sound advice: show him respect. Do you still have a minority friend? Clarke Jenkins

Feature blasted

I am writing concerning the outrageous piece of trash you published in the Chevron last week, February 6, a special ‘feature’ called “Anti-Asian tensions in British Columbia”. It is the line of the Canadian state to divide the Canadian people from the East Indian community. This- is done, through the “Green Paper” on immigration, through sensational news over the years about the “illegal” immigrants from India in the press, and through reactionary propaganda that people coming from India are “violent”, “criminal”, etc. This is most evident in cities like Vancouver and ‘to a lesser extent in Toronto where the East Indians and also the Canadian people are concentrated. However, state activity on this fi-ont is going on in Kitchener also. In recent weeks articles promoting racism have once again begun appearing in the K-W’ Record. The “Rally Against Racism” held on February 5 amounted to more of the same. The feature reprinted in last week’s Chevron is simply more propaganda promoting reactionary lines. This feature adopts the “Green Paper” line that the Canadian people, particularly the people of British Columbia, are racists. The evidence consists of; 1) sensational tidbits from a sixty-year old story. The source of the story is unknown to’me; it does not appear in either the Armistice Day issue or the November issue of the Vancouver Sun of 1918 as reproduced in the University of Waterloo microfilm collection. 2) various actions of the state (laws, arbitrary actions, statements by officials, ‘leaks’ from unnamed sources, etc.) 3) vague references press, radio and strolls in the right part of town, 4) the views of various ‘authorities’ especially a Vancouver shyster and 5) the author’s entirely unsupported views which -he chooses to consider self-evident. Aside from calling the people of British Columbia racist the author adopts a, patronizing attitude towards the E-ast Indian community. After some specious remarks on the “warrior ethic of the East Indian community” he declares, that those who resist racist’s attacks are an isolated minority. In fact the slate supported by these ‘unrepresentative’ elements was elected to the executive of the Khalsa Diwan Society, the religious and social organization of the East Indian community, in Vancouver. A companion piece, by a different author, “The Komagata Maru incident”, promotes the line that the-East Indians are violent with an account of almost random incidents of violence. Turning back to the main feature, the author goes out of his way to present various members of the bourgeoisie in a favourable light but has nothing good to say about the working class and people. The Chevron claims to be some sort of progressive newspaper. Other more reliable sources of historicaland current information are available. Why, then did you reprint this trash? John Stafford

HRCS comment A quick glance at my desk calendar tells me that February 16th is the first day of dead week. Also surrounding that same dayis a circle indicating that a senate meeting is being held during which a decision will be made concerning the future of the department of Human Relations and Counselling Studies. Do you suppose there is some sort of symbolism between the two events? I certainly hope not. I hope that our senators will not choose to phase out and close down such a unique, worthwhile field of study. Yet I am afraid my “hopes” will not be realized. One of the reasons why I state the foregoing is due to the decision by the board of governors to approve the establishment of a department of religious studies. Would this decision not appear as a foreshadowing event of what is to happen on Monday? Or is it only coincidental that one department is approved while another has its “head” on the chopping block? In a period of financial‘cutbacks, can the University of Waterloo afford both departments? My initial impression is no. And I feel that the board of governors have already indicated to the public where their choice on this topic lies. I, for one, would like to venture some final thoughts on the subject of which department would serve the public best. 1 state my ideas in these terms because I believe that is the name of the game today for the university’s products, its graduates. I consider religious studies to be a discipline of the past. We are no longer living in Biblelands in Bibletimes. Instead, we are living in North America in an imperialistic sort of world. No longer does it benefit a person to rely on some unvalid, out-dated document. We simply cannot depend on the same sort of “God” nowadays.. Our culture, technologically and socially, will no longer allow us to live that way. Rather, would it not be more beneficially fulftiing to help people realize their own inner positive strength which would allow them to face challenge and seek opportunities without casting their fate to the -_ winds? By replacing the department of Human Relations and Counselling Studies with religious studies, our “innovative” university would be taking a step backwards. It would be a public shame. More emphasis must be placed on humanistic psychology in our future as it will prove,asit has in the past, to be much more beneficial for humans than religion. I stated earlier in this letter that religion is no longer of as much value as it used to be. It’s basic purpose is similar in some ways to one of the goals of psychotherapy, yet the means are not practical anymore. I see the purpose of contemporary religion to be active in guidance and to counsel humankind throughout life until their inevitable death. I invite readers to comment on this subject, yet I maintain that if the purpose of religion as I have stated it is true, then let’s have more people trained as members of the helping professions and fewer spreading fictitious bullshit in the pulpits. This means that departments such as HR and CS should be encouraged and religious studies left to the dogs. I would like to conclude on the note of what indeed has happened and what can happen in the future. What has happened is that a Task Force has recommended to senate that the department of Human Relations and Counselling Studies be phased out and closed down. What can happen is for the senate to digest the content of the report in the perspective that the Task Force has levelled constructive criticism and provided public exposure to a number of factors which could stand some sort of refinement. What can happen is that a young department can learn from its past mistakes and in turn, become an older and wiser department. John S. Arnald

It is an update of an article written several years ago by UW Keith farlinger, Diestudents Doug Brooks, ter Cauhtz and Glenn Soares. The subject of income tax is a complex one, but ‘important to all Canadian residents.

Students must, like all other adult Canadians, file a return for any year in which they have income exceeding allowable deductions. Of course many students may not have to pay any income tax, even if they have received money during the year fort part-time or summer employment.

commentFASSis for fascism

FASS says about itself that it represents the humour of faculty, administration, staff and students at UW and “is a collection of fun-loving, happy acting persons. . .to poke fun at life here, at UW”. What kind of poking fun was it? the people and promIt was sour and smacked of totalitarianism; FASS ridicuf oted the selfish theses of the few on this campusand in tT is society who exist to oppress workers, students, women and national minorities. Ridicule indeed deserves a place on the stage so long as it is directed against the oppressors and lifts the spirit of the oppressed. FASS was the bourgeosie ridiculing everyone except themselves. FASS promotec! a phony theory of chaos to lay the foundation for the solution it poses--namely; fascism. It portrayed the ideological and political struggles (which are real things going on at UW and elsewhere in the world) on this campus as senseless and unprincipled, without foundation and out of control, coming from nowhere and leading to nothing but the necessity for the state to impose totalitatian rule. it ridiculed the legitimate struggles of students for jobs, bursaries and loans, pouring cold water on the enthusiasm at this campus to fight back against oppression of all kinds. Basically it circumvented any analysis of the material causes of social problems and satirised the rising tide of resistance in the face of increased repression. FASS presented all of this by reducing legitimate opposition to the level of obscenity-an obscenity which calls up the need for “the great red tundmworm” (whose historical counterpart is “ein wunder”)‘to come to the rescue, to control the immiserated and depraved masses who haven’t the sense or the powers to take better care of their destiny. the ruling class through their administrative reps on this To justify this “solution”, campus were depicted as “trying to build something” but obstructed by political fragmentation and a prevailing chaos so that no one can achieve anything. Their agents--weak, slightly pathetic but ultimately the voices of reason-(73urt Mukluk” and the RCMP) seek to achieve “detente between the extremist factions.” Who are these extremist factions, so alike in form and content? “Mother Marsha” and “Sister Marlene” have a mindless hoard who froth at the mouth on command. The serious left on this campus, according to FASS, are mere barking dogs, religious zealots, inspired not by the red flag but by a crucifix. The right-from “Billi Gram”’ to “Father John” and the ku klux klan are identical caricatures. Who but Trudeau and his ilk spin such desperate images ? “Communism and fascism; it’s all the same!“, they say. Analogies between FASS and German culture on the eve of Hitler’s Nazism are too numerous to recount. The performance dredged up popular fascist stereotypes: the usurious Jew, the kindly cop, the mindless minorities (native people, Quebecois, etc.). FASS attacked women and students in a most vicious fashion, the former as giddy or vamps, the latter as “gullible, spineless and cheap” (as workers). Nor did FASS spare any wrath in its contemptivle depiction of workers and even took pains to single out the postal,workers for special ridicule. Striking workers were perhaps the most assinine. My mind kept recalling scenes from the film “Cabaret” where nightclub audiences ~are led into a drunken hysteria by lively choreography, cute costumes and maniacal masks; an attempt to make palatable the rising tide of fascism by drugging the people into acquiescence. It is significant that FASS devoted itself to promoting drunkeness, debauchery and idleness in scenes such as “From Sea to Sea, a Ribbon of Beer”. FASS was nothing more than the ugly features of a dying social system reflected in a thoroughly degraded culturea culture desperately trying to prop up fascism as the only answer. In recent chevrons, reviewers have noted attempts by the U.S. film industry to stifle sentiment hostile tc imperialism. In a similar vein, FASS promoted resignation to totalitarianism as the only possible avenue for the creation of social order. It was unflinching in its hatred for the people and their struggles and unswerving in its loyalty to evewhing that is rotten and perverse. The closing note is one of a completely poisoned and demoralised society, whose seedy spokesperson supposed out loud that there was nothing to be done but cavort with the hated “lemmings” (masses of people). Who profits by such humour? Who, besides the ruling class, takes pleasure in fascism? Who, but the ruling class promote decadence to maintain their system and turn a profit? The positive side of FASS is that such ideas grow up in resistance to the concrete conditions of this campus in particular where students, faculty and staff are developing an effective resistance to the cutbacks in educational spending, where hatred for the two superpowers runs deep, where sup@rt for the struggles of the Canadian working people and national liberation struggles are high on the agenda. Where there is repression, there is resistance; the worse the repression, the more vigorous and determined the resistance. FASS promoted a deeply repressive ideology in response to the depth and breadth of the resistance movement on this campus. The “counterculture” of the late sixties was nothing more than police organized counterrevolution to stem the tide of the youth and student movement against U.S. imperialist culture domesticallu and its wars of aggression in lndo-Cnina. Now, as ‘then, current presence of U.S. economic and political control over Canada reflecrts itsetf in ideas and images which permeate the culture in a vain attempt to maintain U.S. imperialism. Because the Canadian people are offering such active resistance to the imperialist plunderers, they promote a whole cultural superstructure to assist the further implantation of their interests. FASS took up this call which gas foreign origins and state support-the calI to sell a rationale hospitable to fascism. As such, FASS deserves nothing but contempt. In a word it was sickening-a tact well recognrsed by the audience which heckled am hissed at the most obscene parts. marIeaPe webber
