About sixty students turned out for the Annual General Meeting of the student federation. Many of them came armed with proxy votes for up to five other members. Yet despite much air being expanded, only one item of a seven item agenda gained a decision and the meeting was generally considered to be a remarkable waste of time. photo by loris gervasio

d AGbfdecided The annual General Meeting (AGM) of the student federation, held on Tuesday, met for two hours and made only one minor decision. The meeting, at which all fulltime students and employees have a vote, normally only ratifies the new board of directors, a body which is the federation’s corporate entity, for the benefit of the corporations act. That was all this meeting managed to achieve, but it was “quite extraordinary”, in the -words of an exasperated John Shortall, the former federation president who chaired the meeting. What was different was that the meeting was confronted with seven bylaw ammendment proposals. For one reason or another none of the ammendments was either accepted or rejected. But for two hours motions, ammendments to motions, calls to question, chal-

lenges to the chair, and some abusive remarks, were scurried onto the floor often to be brushed aside by the chairperson amidst a cry from the back of “I don’t understand”. _ Unless you could regurgitate Roberts rules of parliamentary procedure you just weren’t in the running. The first ammendment to be considered by the meeting couldn’t be discussed. The poor student who wanted bylaw Number one, section 27 changed, hadn’t noticed, when she looked it up that it had already been ammended four times, and was now to be found around bylaw 25. The change being recommended would still have been pertinent but it was deemed that proper notice of the motion had not been given and thus under the corporations act it would have been illegal to change it, nay even to discuss it. So until the next general meeting

LONDON-The Ontario Federation of Students decided Monday to mount a province-wide moratorium on March 24 as a prot,est to cutbacks in education and social services. The moratorium will be a “day of education” for students and will be staged on campuses throughout Ontario, states an OFS motion passed at a general meeting held here. “The OFS should co-ordinate a one-day province-wide moratorium in order to allow the broadest possible discussion among students of the government’s policies towards education and social services in general and the means by which they can best resist their implementation .’ ’ in addition, the moratorium wili try to organize students for a demonstration protesting cutbacks to be held at Queen’s Park on April 3 which is being pulled together by the Toronto-based Coalition Against the Cutbacks, the OFS resolution reads.

The coalition combining various organizations, unions and political parties began in January when provincial social services minister James Taylor announced a 5.5 per cent ceiling for municipal social service grants which could result in staff layoffs and decreased operations.

the student federation president need not be a student when elected. The ammendment proposed was that only a student could be elected to that office. It came out of the recent presidential elections where it was charged that Shane Roberts had no right to run because he wasn’t a student. Roberts was however, eligible to run because the bylaws allow a former president to run even if he/she is not a student. Roberts held office from Nov. 1972 .to Feb. 1973.

The next ammendment dealt with the membership of the board of communications. Math rep John Long explained that the purpose of the ammendment was to ensure that Radio Waterloo people could not ‘stack’ the board’s broadcasting committee and advertising committee. So he was suggesting that the number of radio Waterloo steering committee members, who could be

n members of the board’s committees, be limited to seven. But in order to suggest the number seven he had to make an amm.endment to the ammendment. Normally that wouldn’t have been too much of a problem, but the way Long’s ammendment was phrased it would also have limited Radio Waterloo’s steering committee to seven. This upset representatives from the station because at present anyone who works there can take part in steering committee meetings, and they were not keen to have this restraint placed upon them. The outcome of all this was “quite extraordinary”. The ammendment to the ammendment was accepted, i.e. the number seven was added to the original ammendment proposal, but before a vote could be taken on the complete ammendment, board of communications chairperson, Ian MacMillan, withdrew the motion.

When drawing up the resolution, OFS delegates agreed that holding a moratorium in March could draw students out but were undecided over whether it would be feasible to try to mobilize students during exams for the April demonstration. Barb Cameron, a University of Toronto rep, felt OFS should concentrate its efforts on telling students about education cutbacks rather than trying to mobilize them on broader issues. “Our focus should be the education cutbacks as I don’t think we can realistically mobilize students around other types of cutbacks.” Several other delegates felt

there was need of more education among students regarding cutbacks in education and hence the need for a moratorium on the issue. Janice Pacquet, from McMaster University, disagreed with the need for holding more workshops on cutbacks, saying more action is needed on the part of students to avert even greater reductions in the future. “The government is shitting on us already by cutting back in education and social services. . .Let’s do something.” Another advocate for action was OFS official Chris Harries who said there exists among students “a certain amount of momentum” regarding social services cutbacks and they might opt to miss exams to demonstrate their concern. “A lot of people want to do a lot of things about the cutbacks and now is the time.” Harries also pointed out that students aren’t as ignorant as some delegates argued, saying “they

read newspapers, they know what’s going on.” In a background paper on cutbacks in education and social services, OFS states the minority provincial government is conducting a “massive restraint program” without a proper mandate. “Those designated to suffer acutely include the working people, the poor, the elderly and the sick. Students have been chosen to play a role through increased personal indebtedness and tightened employment opportunities.” The OFS paper also charges provincial treasurer +Darcy McKeough with ignoring the possibility of increasing corporate taxes to pay for more social services. Corporate profits jumped by 250 per cent between 1967 and 1974, to $19.5 billion from $5.6 billion, but the corporate share of the cost of public expenses declined to 10.7 per cent from 11.3 per cent during the same period, the paper says. -john

So the federation bylaw remained unchanged. The most interesting thing to come out of all the discussion, however, was that the board of communications has only met once within the last year, and then only one member turned up so no minutes were taken. Next the congregation was asked to consider a 2 part motion divided into ten pieces, dealing with the board of entertainment. After some discussion, however, it was decided that the motion had some failings as a complete package. So it was generally agreed that it would be taken away for a polish and was withdrawn. Then with very little discussion Long withdrew a motion to ammend the composition of the board of directors. So on to item six: “For Discussion: Notice of motion for council meetings re the issuance of privilege cards .” This monstrous six part motion had been presented for discussion. But, said Shortall, according to Robert’s rules motions cannot just be discussed, they have to be put on the floor for a vote, and if the mover just wants it discussed then he/she can withdraw it before the vote. This caused great confusion. The chair was challenged, but Shortall stood firm. Then a student moved one part of the ammendment. Frenzied discussion followed and that was punctuated by a motion to adjourn, moved by Long who was responsible for four of the ammendments put before the meeting. That motion was shot down. A call to question followed, i.e. a call to vote on the motion; it failed. Then a challenge to the chair -ruled out of order, finally, the motion was tabled and we were on to the last item on the agenda. It was an ammendment on proxies at student council. Ernst von Bezold pointed out that proxy vot-* ing at student council would be ilcontinued

CUPCPS

NUS grabs 5 .’new members The National Union of Students (NUS) has inOTTAWA(CUP)creased its membership and its future budget in five February referenda. Students voting in four Nova Scotia colleges and the-Albertan University of Lethbridge approved membership in the national union whileinc creasing student fees at some to remain members. This brings total membership to 173,000 at 27 Canadian post-secondary institutions. According to executive secretary Dan O’Connor the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design and St. Francis Xavier University approved a $1.00 fee increase to become the newest NUS members. However, the St. Francis referendum has been contested after it was discovered only 43 per cent of the-students voted. Council had required a turnout of 50 per cent to validate the result. The University of Kings ‘College, St. Mary’s University and the University of Lethbridge all voted to increase the NUS fees while retaining previous NUS membership. Acadia University in Wolfville voted against membership in the national Union on February 16; It is the union’s second defeat since 1974.

-“sideshows”, he said, and that at almost every major conference a motion is passed against Zionism. He cited the Mexico conference on women’s rights, the aviation conference in Montreal, a recent UNESCO conference, and the human rights commission which is investigating Israel. The UN resolution, he said, “was in a class of its own”. He claimed it was Soviet inspired and backed by the Arab countries and the totalitarian states. The many countries which abstained did so for fear of being cut-off from Arab oil supplies, he said. But the demonstrators argued that the resolution was correct because Zionism discriminates against Arabs. There were several protestations inside, however, that Zionists were not Anti-Arab. Shalev was invited to Kitchener by a local Jewish committee formed to fight anti-Zionist propaganda. He said that Israel wanted peace and was willing to negotiate

lsra~e~ envoy at anytime with the Arab countries, but not with the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) which Israel regards as a terrorist organization, not representative of the Palestinian people. Shalev also said that all the wars Israel has fought were started by Arab aggression. But as Israel’s envoy spoke the peaceful picket continued to defy thet evening’s vile weather, and to shout their slogans which could occasionally be heard even within the centre. The demonstrators handed out leaflets explaining the case against zionism. They were careful to make the distinction between Zionism and Judaism. The demonstration, it was pointed out, was not anti-Semitic, but was against Zionism as a political ideology which seeks to establish and maintain a Jewish state in the land inhabited by the Palestinian people for over 1500 years. It was also claimed in the handouts that the Zionists were antisemitic because their creed en-

couraged Jews not to assimilate in the land of their birth but to emigrate to Israel. It was said that during the last world war the Zionists collaborated with the Nazis and one example was cited of a Zionist leader, Rudolph Kastner, who collaborated with Eichmann in the murder of 800,000 Hungarian Jews in order to save a few thousand Zionists. Israel from its outset has used military aggression and terror to expand its borders; was estab. lished with British support in return for a guarantee that Britain’s interests in the area would be protected; and now is in the service of US imperialism; were some of the arguments listed in the handout. Inside, however, in an audience made up almost entirely of Jews, there seemed to be few who had any doubts about Israel’s cause, the rabbi declared himself proud to be a Zionist and the ambassador was given a standing ovation. -neil

Feds appoint’ new execs Eight executive positions were filled during Tuesday evening’s student federation council meeting. Former Environmental Studies society president Dave Mclellan was I appointed vice-president. Mclellan, according to federation president Shane ,Roberts, was re1commended t&r- ithe position because of’ his experience- with various campus organizations. Manny Brykman (Engineering) was chosen as treasurer. Brykman cited experience in running his own business as qualification for the job. Ron Hatz (Graduate Students), who has experience on various committees and clubs on campus, was appointed speaker. ,_ Hatz added it was not a position for which one can prepare. Ian MacMillan (Engineering) re-

turns as chairman of the board of communications. MacMillan told council \his former experience and initiative warrants his holding the position. The board of education chairman will be Franz Klingender (Arts) who worked the board for three years and hopes to get all of the federation and . societies involved in programs during the coming year. Mike Ura will chair the board of external relations. He feels students and outside citizens share many problems but only have small, although real, powers to solve them. He sees an alliance of the two groups as the answer. He has worked on the board of educa\ tion in the past. Arts representative Ted ?Hogan became the first UW National Union of Students liaison officer. He told council he wants to watch

what comes out of NUS carefully. The chairman of the board of co-operative services is Don Orth, also of Arts. Orth said he would like to see co-operative services expanded to include the paralegal, birth control and day care services. The board presently looks after the book store, federation buses and the ice cream stand. , Still to be decided upon are the board of entertainment ‘and board of creative arts chairmen who were not present at the meeting after the recess. These decisions were to be finalized at a meeting last night. Applications are being accepted for chairman of the board of publications, Ontario Federation of Students liaison officer and chief returning officer. Executive positions can be held by any student and do not necessarily have to be held by council members. Candidates are recommended to council for ratification by the federation president based on the president’s discussions with the candidate during interviews and with previous holders of the position in question, according to Roberts. He added council may refuse to ratify any candidate recommended by the president and in the case of there being more than one applicant for one position, council may invite the other applicants to be heard at a council meeting as well as reviewing their resumes. Council has not decided which positions, if any, will be salaried in the coming year. -graham

legal according to the corporations act. He also said that for the issue to be raised at all shpwed a deterioration in the student council and an indication of its elitism. He suggested that the meeting would do better to discuss why proxies are needed for student council to reach quorum. But there was to be no more discussion at the AGM, finally a decision was taken and a motion to adjourn won overwhelming favour. .

Lack of discussion

the chevron

on major ihues

Low morale, confU@on plague Arts council . Low morale and confusion about where decisions are being made are two of the problems within Arts Faculty council, say some professors. . These concerns, and others, were voiced by faculty members at a meeting of the Arts Faculty council committee on format of meetings which was held Tuesday to hear suggestions on how the council could be revamped. Several faculty members present felt that a major problem was demoralization, but they didn’t all agree on the reasons why the members of the faculty council feel i demoralized. Professor Judy Wubnig speculated that as a result of the ‘Reni-

son Affair’ last year members are timid about talking. She later told the chevron that members may have stopped coming as a result of “the large groups of people carrying placards” which characterized many council meetings during the R&son Affair. Some faculty members felt that important issues too often are not brought before arts faculty council and that this is in part responsible for low morale. Professor Pat Harrigan expressed the view that the dean of Arts, Jay Minas should discuss the im, portant issues with the department chairmen and they should then be brought to council meetings for discussion. “If substantive issues

aren’t brought to Arts Faculty council then it ought to dissolve,” he said. In a memo submitted to the committee by professors Don Horton and John Stubbs the lack of discussion in council on major issues facing the Arts Faculty was criticized. Some of these issues were the possibility of a 3.8 per cent budget cut, the lack of any plan to deal with the effects of faculty dismissals, and declining standards of teaching asa result of the heavy concentration on teaching volume. Stubbs. and Horton in their memo cited the example of the proliferation of ‘bird: courses offered in Arts as indication of the

declining standards of teaching. During the meeting it was suggested by Stubbs that the issue of ‘bird’ courses is one which isn’t discussed because of its financial implications. He said examination of courses in the faculty would mean economic suicide because courses generate money.

Minas commented that a few months ago he had considered appointing a committee to review all first and second year courses, but hadn’t done this. “Bird courses are a good example of problems we have but haven’t done much about,” he said. The lack.of direction provided by the leadership of the Arts Faculty was criticized by some faculty members. Professor Rick Guisso said, “The dean and the executive committee (of the Arts Faculty. council) should provide this direction. This kind of reform is relatively painless. ” _ Another problem expressed was the feeling that decisions are made before the issues are brought to council. One 2professor <who felt this way, Joe Gold, said he had a “sense of the Arts Faculty council as a front for action that takes place somewhere else. Remarks at Arts Faculty council are’irrelevant because decisions are made elsewhere.”

Guisso stressed the need for greater unity between the executive committee and the faculty to eliminate fat tionalism. Professor John Wilson came to the defense of Minas . He said he was sick of the dean or the general group being blamed for all the woes of the Arts Faculty council. (The general group consists of the dean of Arts, the associate dean and the department chairmen and meets once a week.) Confusion about which body in the faculty makes the crucial deci.sions ran high in the meeting. Several faculty members agreed that they weren’t being made in council. Harrigan asked Minas , ‘ ‘If I know decisions aren’t being made in Arts Faculty council, and you say they’re not being made in the general group, where are they being made?” Minas responded by saying they were made in a decentralized way. The meeting lasted well over two hours and many concerns of the members of Arts Faculty council were articulated. However , no overall solution was proposed. The chairman of the committee, professor Fred MacCrae, who is also chairman of Arts Facultycouncil, informed the meeting that the committee would meet soon to consider the suggestions. -nina tymoszewicz

Lax -reps will be, axed, studrent pres says Student federation president Shane Roberts will ask for resignations from any council members he feels to be failing their tasks in the coming year. He also expects council to ask for his resignation if he is ineffective as federation president. Those strong ‘words were spoken during Robert’s presidential address presented at his first student council as federation president on Tuesday night. The meeting, which was recessed to allow members to attend an unproductive although educational annual -federation meeting, was devoted to Roberts’ address, introduction of new council members and executive appointments. During the address, Roberts stated, “As long as I am president, I will see this council built into a solid fighting unit.”

He added, “If there is anyone who doesn’t agree with this they’ll either have to get rid of me or leave. ’ ’ Roberts also indicated he sensed no lack of enthusiasm in the new council. He said the issues on which election campaigns were fought must be pursued or “we are falhng down on our task.” Council must be ready to move on these and other broad issues he said, adding, this will mean a hard year encompassing experiments in the development of a council which will be an effective fighting machine for students. Some of these experiments may fail, he added. Roberts went on to say this (the experiments) will leave council open to criticism by responsible and irresponsible groups on campus. *Roberts announced the first major project the council will un-

dertake is a housing - problem survey. ,He intends to distribute questionnaires during classes. It will be the first test of council as it will take much organization to include all the classes, according to Roberts. Roberts also sees communications as a problem both within the federation and without. He proposed that councilors spend time in the federation office answering .phones and record-their comments and suggestions based on their observations . Material concerning university policies and bylaws will be distributed among council members to which they are to add their own material, he added. During his warning that councilors will have to perform or get out, Roberts indicated he would be depending heavily on ideas brought in by council members. i ._. (_ - .-. .,s I -graham gee

SACRAMENTO (LNS-CUP)California’s agribusiness interests and the Teamsters Union have succeeded in their drive to stop the farm labor union election process . which began only five months ago. A coalition of Republicans and rural Democrats defeated an appropriations bill in the State Senate Jan. 27 to continue funding the Agricultural Labour Relations Board (ALRB), the state agency responsible for conducting the elections. The ALRB halted all operations on Feb. 6. That same day, about 1,200 farm. workers from as far away as Coachella, 500 miles to the south, rallied on the steps of the state capital to - threaten renewed strikes and boycotts if the ALRB was allowed to die. “If the growers want war, they’ll have war”, said United Farm Workers Union (UFW) leader Cesar Chavez in a statement from the Union’s headquarters outside Bakersfield. The UFW has started a campaign to- send letters, telegrams, and phone calklto the Republican leader of the coalition opposing the ALRB funding to protest the Senate vote and push for,a new one. The vote in the State Senate was actually 20-15 in favor of a $3.8 million emergency appropriation to continue the ALRB’s operations through the end of the current fiscal year in June. But a two-thirds vote (27 votes) was necessary because it was an emergency appropriation. In June of this year the ALRB will have another chance when the general budget for the 1976-77 fiscal year comes up for approval. Since early January the growers have made it known that their price for continued funding of the ALRB was a series of drastic changes in the election process. These proposed changes included the elimination of the rule permitting union organizers on grower property and inclusion of labor contractors under the definition of employer in the law. Every proposed change was totally unacceptable to the UFW. .__\,,..Meanwhil~....~o~~ow~r ....l~~s--

lators began stumping the state, telling growers that they had been ‘duped’ into supporting the election law ‘+i the first place and charging that the state board, and in fact the .whole process, was biased in favor of the UFW. The UFW has in fact taken a commanding 2-l lead over the Teamsters in elections held in the first five months of the law. In the Imperial Valley near the Mexican border where the winter lettuce season is coming to a close, most elections were completed before the ALRB was shut down. Results to date give seven victories to the Teamsters and 20 to the UFW. Among the UFW’s most,recent victories were the three largest ranches in the -area; Abatti Produce, Jackson Enterprises, and Bruce Church Company. In the Bruce Church elections, Jan. 30, the UFW defeated the Teamsters 462-3 11 in an election that gives the UFW the right to represent Bruce Church workers in five different areas of California. The Bruce Church win is the most significant of all for the UFW in the Imperial Valley, not only because it is the largest, but also because the Teamsters are considered to have tight control over many of the, workers. Meanwhile, the first UFW contract to come from the election process has been ratified by the workers of the giant Interharvest lettuce company, who voted last September to retain UFW representative by an 1167-28 margin. The contract ratified on Jan. 22 in Calexico, raises the base wage for general field labor to $3.15 an hour, an increase of $1 .OO over the first Interharvest contract signed in 1970. The Interharvest workers and UFW representatives have been negotiating the contract for several months, Representatives of the Western Growers Association also bargained for the company. The contract .is expected to become the model contract’ for all produce companies where the UFW wins ele&QJ&r.. . . - . ‘ 1. .

DENVER (CSP-CUP)-Tuition hikes and budget cutbacks are giving an ugly edge to the mood of students hemmed in by spiralling costs. Although most schools are staying tight-lipped about their budget for next year, American colleges that have put the bad news on the line have been met with angry ralcombined lies, threats of student/staff strikes, and accusations that higher education is becoming the domain of the rich. In Georgia, Illinois, Ohio and New Jersey students have confronted adminstrators in the past month over education costs they feel are becoming prohibitively high. Shoving matches between regents and students, egg-pelted college presidents and rallies “recalling the mood of the sixties” have been the result of 25 per cent tuition hikes and layoffs of up to 80 faculty members at a single school. Students hit with the second tuition increase during the year at the University of Georgia formed an indignant crowd in mid-January protesting what amounted to a 25 per cent increase in their tuition for the year. While tuition has skyrocketed, cutbacks have trimmed library hours, health services and faculty and student jobs on the campus. A rally that drew students and faculty hit hard on the effects increases in tuition would have on minority students. A black speaker charged that tuition hikes would “come down hardest on the people least able to pay.” Black members of the school’s student council have threatened to * call for a tuition strike even if the rest of the student government doesn’t agree.

President pelted At Trenton State College in New Jersey, students and faculty are gearing up for a strike on March 15 -to protest tuition increases of $265 and staff cutbacks that could send 80 faculty mem. bers into the streets. Chancellor Ralph Dungan was struck with eggs as he explained the school’s $1.5 million budget cutback for the coming year. Along with the 80 faculty members, about 1,000 students would be cut from the school to stretch available money farther.

A letter to the editor of the Trenton Signal, the student newspaper, derided the cost hike and cutbacks as reflecting “the trend in higher education that is going to make it available only to the rich, as it used to be.” An angry crowd gathered outside a regents’ meeting at Kent State University in Ohio earlier this month, protesting a $45 per year tuition increase. A shoving match broke out between students and a regent attempting to enter the meeting room. Six campus police held about 60 protesters back, but the short scuffle sent one of the police to the hospital with bruises. ’ Students at Kent State suggested that instead of raising the tuition, the regents’ put a $25,000 ceiling on salaries and- consider trimming the amount of money going to intercollegiate athletics. Meanwhile in Illinois, blacks and other groups are embittered following a suggested tuition increase that would have students paying one-third of their educational costs. Black spokespersons called the tuition increase an “immediate disaster for blacks and other minorities.” A long range tuition plan for the state’s public colleges would increase tuition by over $300 in three c years. Soaring tuition along with halts in expansion of facilities and hiring threaten to “completely gut what advances blacks and latinos have made in higher education”, according to black State Senator Richard Newhouse. ’ Other colleges and unversities will probably be keeping any tuition increases ‘under their hats until later this spring, after regents and adminstrators have a chance to figure out the difference between their proposed ,budgets and the amount state legislators have actually given them. But if private school’s proposed tuitions are any indication, the outlook won’t be good. Private institutions that have announced tuition increases for next year are upping the ante about eight to ten per cent. Total educational costs at Princeton will go up eight per cent, Harvard is jumping 8.4 per cent to $6,430, Dartmouth will be up 10.8 per cent and the University of Southern California about 9.3’ per cent.

NELSON (CUP)-Students at Notre Dame University are worried about the effects of the announced closure of their university on their futures, despite, promises made by coastal universities. “This means’ that instead of ahalf term to finish my B.A., I’ll need at least a full yea? It means-more money as well as more time,” said fourth”year student, Jim Guilsdorf. Education. students who were planning to enter their professional year next year will have trouble transferring and getting full credit, as some of the courses required for the program here. are non-transferable. , Foreign students may as well “pack up and go home”, says Ali Rahamian. “Our student visas won’t be-recognized at the other universities . ’ ’ Many students felt that they willleave the province rather than ‘go to thecoast. This means, -- / for some, giving up grants and bur- ’ saries. According to Linda Cuddy, “I was looking forward to coming here because it offers such a unique B.F.A. program, and its in the -mountains, away from the-big city.” _ Indeed, it is the location which has attracted many of the students to Notre Dame University. Its closure will upset intended lifes-tyles. _ . ‘!,We are being robbed of the chance to learn in an intimate atmosphere, which is. getting- harder and harder to find in postsecondary education”, says newspaper writer. Linda Cregan.

Benefit concert for -ea-rthauake victims

poisoning

OTTAWA(CUP)-According to the president of the Canadian Restaurant Association a lot of the so-called “flu” attacking Canadians this winter is really food poisoning, and Canada’s restaurants are responsible. “Dirty spoons, spotty glasses, a guy preparing food with an open cut on his hand, cups turned upside down on the table-any, of these is enough to give you a good dose of food poisoning”, James Rae said in a February 18 interview for the Ottawa Citizen. Rae, who was in Ottawa to open the association’s Ottawa Office, also condemned the industry for serving unnecessarily large helpings and for continually being inconsistent in their preparation of meals. According to Rae, a recent survey in the United States showed an estimated 90 percent of the country’s restaurants did not measure up to the government’s minimum health standards. Although no study has been conducted in Canada, Rae said he suspected the situation was much the same here. Customers should have no hesitation about reporting spotty dishes or silverware, a waitress putting her hands to her face or hair, a filthy washroom, or anything else that makes them-uneasy, he said. “The only way things improve is if people complair+point them out,” he said. At the same time, the owner of a $7 million fast food service empire based in Edmonton, worries that Canada’s restaurants are contributing to the obesity of the population by serving unnecessarily large helpings. He said he would like to make the 2,625 restaurants and caterers represented by his association more aware of how much energy and usable food they waste every day. Rae’s business, which began in 1953 as a single Edmonton milk‘shake shop, has now expanded into a 14-outlet hamburger chain. with a Kentucky Fried Chicken franchise.

The campus community will & able to hear some of the area’s finest folk and jazz musicians and aid the victims ,of the Guatemala earthquake. A benefit concert will be held this Sunday, March 7, at 2:30 pm in the Theatre of the Arts. The performerswill be folk singer, Bev Robertson, an instrumental jazz group, “Moondance’, and a folk group ‘ ‘Arethusa”. The Performers are donating their time SO that all the funds COIlected will be used by the Mennonite Central Committee (MCC) in Guatemala.

Already the MCC has sent aid in the form of blankets, tents, and medical supplies. When we have forgotten about the earthquake, a team of their volunteers will still be helping to reconstruct whole towns, using some materials purchased with money from this concert.

What roles do planners play, and how must an education in planning meet the demands of those roles? This will be the focus of the first annual planning conference being organized by UW planning students. The conference, which will run from March 5 to March 7, is to begin with two case studies introducing debate on planning roles. The first will be a critical examination of planning in Montreal, conducted by Andy Melamed of the Montreal Planning Office and Peter Katadotis, a social worker from Pointe-Ste-Charles. The second study will focus on planning in northern Saskatchewan and is to be presented by Peter Brook, formerly with the department of Northern Saskatchewan, former public participation director for the Churchill River study Doug Elias, and chairman of the Northern Saskatchewan municipal council Lawrence Yew. The second phase of the conference will combine workshop sessions with an examination of the various perceptions of the planner’s role. - The final session will consist of a panel discussion on planning education featuring director of city planning at the University of Manitoba Kent Gerecke, director of urban and regional planning at UW Harry Coblentz and Ira Robinson from the department of environmental design at the University of Calgary. ’ df-

Ra cism in. Zion Zionisti is Racism On Nov. 10, 1975, the U.N. decided that “Zionism is a form of racism and racial discrimination”. It took note of a declaration by the World Conference of the Intemational Women’s Year held at Mexico City from June 19 to July 2, 1975. This stated that “intemational co-operation and peace require the achievement of national liberation and independence, the elimination of colonialism and neo-colonialism, foreign occupation, Zionism, apartheid, and racial discrimination in all its forms as well as the recognition of the dignity of peoples and their right to self-determination.” This support by the majority of the world’s peoples for the Palestinian revolution only brought

tasteful necessity of imposing immigration restrictions against growing numbers of Eastern Jews, but would also serve British imperial interests.” This was elaborated upon in 1914 by Chaim Weizman who later became the first president of Israel who argued that such a state would “form a very effective guard for the Suez Canal.” Finding such a willing agent in Zionism, the British foreign secretary, Balfour, concocted the Balfour Declaration. The declaration called for the establishment of a “national home for the Jewish people” and ’ ‘pro tee tion of non-jewish communities” (my emphasis) even though in reality 92% of the people were “non-jewish”, and at this time Britain did not “own” nor have any right to de-

partition Palestine into an Arab and a “Jewish state”. This was done at the instigation of the U.S., which was fostering Zionism to carry on its expansion in the Arab world and aggression against the Arab people. The partition gave Jewish immigrants, who owned less than 6% of the land, an area equivalent to 57%. of the territory of Palestine. Prior to the British withdrawal on May 14, 1948, Zionism showed its true nature as a terrorist movement when British-trained gangster bands massacred the inhabitants of the villages of Deir Yassin; Ien El’Leitoun, Saad Eddin, and Ledda among others. This terrorism, and countless other examples such as the daily raids inside ‘refugee camps in Lebanon, only

slanders from the bourgeois media and Zionist organizations. To clarify the true nature of Zionism and to further build support among the Canadian people for the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), the sole legitimate representative of the Palestinian people, the Norman Bethune Institute has published Zionism Is Racism. The book traces the history of Zionism and the resistance of the Palestinian people to it. From its inception, Zionism proved to be a willing agent of British aggression against, and suppression of, the Arab people. One of the leading Zionists, Theodore Herzl argued before a royal commission in 1902 that “support of Zionism would not only spare the British Government the dis-

tide the fate of Palestine ! In 1920, the- British pushed through the League of Nations their mandate bver Palestine (in order to “own” it), then denied the Palestinians the right to selfdetermination, a right promised them by the @ied power in WWl when they heroically rose up against the Turks. The Palestinians rose in arms against the British Mandate and Zionist colonisation, which resulted in the jailing of thousands and the death of some fifty thousand. This repression and terror against the defenceless Palestinians ensured a temporary conquest. In November 29, 1947, the Second Session of the U.N. General Assembly adopted a resolution to

show that the state of Israel was established and continues to exist on the persecution and murder of the Palestinian people. On May 15, 1948, Israel was proclaimed a new state and its troops quickly defied the very U.N. resolution that ‘created’ it. It seized and therefore deprived the Palestinian Arabs of the land reserved for them by that very partition plan. The Arab states, after being provoked, by such an act, entered Palestine to protect Palestinian citizens with an estimated 21,500 troops pitted against Israeli forces estimated at 65,000 and armed with British weapons. At the end of the war, Israel had occupied 78% of what was formerly Palestine and had uprooted 750,000 refugees, who, according to U.N. mediator Count Bernadotte, “were deprived of everything except the clothes in which they stood.” Nor was this aggression and terrorist activity about to stop. Israel initiated three wars of aggression against Arab states after 1948 and further , fulfdled the ideals of Zionism as amplifiedV~by its first Prime Minister, David Ben Gurion, who said “The Jewish people have another map which our youth and adults should strive to fulfill, from the Nile to the Euphrates”. Similarly, Moshe Dayan said on June 25,1968 to the London Times “Now the Six Day Generation has managed to reach Suez, Jordan and the Golan Heights. This is not the end. After the present ceasefire lines, there will be new ones. They will extend beyond Jordan, perhaps to Lebanon and perhaps to central Syria as well.” In addition to outlining this history, Zionism Is Racism dispells many myths which are progagated by apologists for this racist ideology in the service of U. S . imperialism. The first myth is that the state of Israel is a democracy. How can one claim that a state based on the principle of one religion--or in the continued

lenses was written for the chevron by P.C. Wilson, president of the UW Optometric Student Association.

Since the 1950’s the practice of fitting contact lens& has evolved from clinical experimentation and limited success, to a routine part of optometric vision care. Both hard and soft contact lenses are made of plastic. Hard lenses are only slightly flexible so they “mask” any irregulqrities of the front part of the eye (the cornea), whereas the flexible gellike plastic of soft lenses conforms more closely to the cornea, allowing any irregularities to remain, in the optical system of the eye. Soft lenses are usually about 12 mm. in diameter; conventional hard lenses about 9 mm. With each.blink the upper lids

case of Western Jews, one race -is superior to another? How is it possible to justify Golda Meir’s statement’ that “there is no such thing as a Palestinian”? Is it a principle of democracy to uproot a people from their homes and lands and to impose martial law upon it’s “citizens” who either remained or whose lands were occupied in 1967 and 1974. The Palestinian Arabs within Israel have been denied the freedom of movement and the freedom of residence. All organizations such as mutual aid or even student counc_ils are forbidden. In Israel 90% of the agricultural land is owned by the-Jewish National Fund yet no Arab is- allowed to dwell, rent or be employed on this land. The Palestinian workers have 40% of their Gay deducted by the government under the claim that it goes to social welfare, organization and travel tax whereas the Palestinian labourers in the occupied zones,are denied by legislation all social welfare, such as health insurance and pens’ions. Nineteen thousand Arab houses have been destroyed in the past to seven years and according UNRWA commissioner John Rennie, “6360 Arab homes have been destroyed by the Israelis between July 20th and August 26th 1971” in occupied territories. It is then no surprise to anyohe that organizations such as the Organization of African Unity have compared this state to the racist and fascist states of South Africa’ and Zimbabwe (Rhodesia), or that 164 U@ted Nations resolutions on behalf of the rights of the Palestinians in their own country have been defiid. Myth number two is that to be anti-Zionist is to be anti-Semitic. Indeed, this is a falsehood, for

must “climb” over the edge of the small hard lens but this is not so with the larger soft lens-its edge is almost always covered by the upper lid. For this reason and because of its sdftness, the soft lens is more comfortably tolerated by the lids and cornea initially. A hard lens wearer who has undergone the l-2 week adaptation period of gradually increased wearing time is largely unaware of his lenses because the nerves serving the lids and cornea have adapted to the presence of the lenses. This adaptive state is maintained optimally by daily wearing .of the lenses for approximate1.y the same amount of time each day. Someone who omits a day or two of wear, or varies the wearing time by several hours from day to day, should return to full wearing tive by gradually building time again,

as was necessary when first beginning to wear contact lenses. Thesoft lens we rer is able to wear lenses irreg Litarly without having to re-adapt.

It may seem that hard lenses are an anachronism in view of these general statements. The fact is that adequate vision is not attainable with flexible lenses in many cases, but hard lenses perform well. The optical consideration involved here is called astigmatism-a situation where the formation of the cornea and the crystalline lens (the lens is inside the eye, immediately behind the pupil; it contributes about one quarter of the eye’s power for focussing light on the retina, and is also responsible for changing the eye’s focus fQr near viewing) has not resulted in perfect spherical surfaces like a billiard ball. Rather

anti-Semitism and Zionism are one and the same. In Berlin, 1921, one of the leading Zionist Theoriticians said: “Instead of establishing societies for the defence against antiSemites, who want to reduce &ur rights, we should establish societies against our friends who desire to defend our rights.“’ (Krisis Und Entschudung by Dr. Jakob Klutshin, quoted by B. Matoru, The Zionist Wish and the Nazi Deed, in Issue winter 66-67 at

Zionism Is Racism exposes the racist and fascist nature of Zionism by documenting how Zionism collaborated with the Nazi’s in WW II, how Zionists continuously sacrificed European communities by not organizing to fight back against anti-Semitism but instead accommodating it and propagating it, again because of Zionism’s foundation on the same ideological premises. The book clarifies the nature of Zionism and shows that the road td liberation and self-determination Pm After the creation of the state of can only be achieved by the deIsrael, the editor of the newspaper struction of this ideology. It is Davar (the newspaper of Zionist stated throughout Zionism Is Ra“trade unions”) wrote: “I shall cism that the only way peace will not be ashamed to confess that, if1 ’ come to the Middle East is through had the power as I have the will, I the establishment of a democratic, would select a score of efficient secular Palestine and not by the esyoung men-intelligent, decent, tablishment of a separate state on devoted to our ideal and burning the west bank of the Jordan, as with desire to help redeem Jews, some apologists for this racist and I would send them to the counideology propose.

the optical surfaces are m&-e oblong, like an egg, so there is an uneven focus of light at the retina and vision is impaired. Astigmatism is not a disease-it is judt a word to describe the situation where the cornea and lens have become shaped this way during the formation and growth of the eye. If, the balance between the astigmatism of the lens and of the cornea is such that there is little or no overall astigmatism, soft lenses will not upset the balance so the prognosis for good vision is very good. In such a case a hard lens would “mask” or cover up the non-spherical cornea so only the astigmatism of the crystalline lens would remain, and the balance would be upset-vision would be poorer than with soft lenses. However, in cases where there is considerable cornea1 as tigmatism not balanced by opposite astigmatism of the crystalline lens, the hard lens would give better vision by covering the aspherical cornea. These are the cases that obtain inadequate vision with soft lenses. The water content of flexible lknses is relatively high-30 to 40 per cent and the polymers making up the plastic are digestible by some bacteria and fungii. Hygienic care of soft lenses is therefore of even greater importance than with hard lenses. ’ Special soft lens solutions can be used effectively to clean, ascepticize, and rinse, similar to the care

of liard lenses (solutions for hard lenses should never be used for soft lenses though). Alternately, soft lenses can be boiled or autoclaved using special techniques, containers and heating units. The optometrist chooses the method of care that best suits the patient. Patients with small spectacle corrections are usually not good candidates for contact lenses as the small residual amount of incompletely cancelled astigmatism that often exists can be as great as the original prescription. Clearly such patients will not appreciate much benefit, especially in the view of the costs, necessary hygienic care, and, in the case of hard lenses, adherence to a regular wearing schedule. In general, patients who can’t get along without their glasses are more likely to appreciate contacts . Regular visits to the optometrist following the fitting of contact lenses are essential. The prescription is less likely to change than ‘with a spectacle wearer, but factors related to ocular health become of prime importance. The cornea will swell and become cloudy if the lens fit is not correct or if improper blinking causes inadequate tear circulation to bathe the cornea under the lens. Overwear of the lenses or the entry of dirt particles into the space between the contact lens and the cornea can cause abrasions or scratches. With proper care contacts can be of great value to many people.

When is cheese not cheese? (When it’s pr~cessetf) Cheese concentrates a lot of food value into a small package. It contains most of the nutrients of milk including protein, riboflavin, and calcium. The protein in cheese is of the same high quality as the protein in meat, fish and eggs. . If you’re cutting down on meat in protest against the use of hormones and antibiotics and skyhigh prices, cheese can be your best friend. But not always. It depends on the nature of the cheese you choose. Like all good foods, cheese has been subjected to the mighty and destructive club of commercial interests. Somehow the word “cheese” _ on a snack food draws the consumer like a magnet. The flavor of cheese combined with the implication of nutrient value appears to be an irresistible combination. Do not be deluded into serving these snacks to your family, or be foolish enoughto believe that they will contain all the nutrients of cheese. They will not.

Cheese flavor does not mean cheese. In processed food, it means a chemical flavor unrelated to nutrition. Food chemists have the competence and expertise of Merlin the magician. Their only interests are economy and long shelf-life. Remember that anything which prolongs “shelflife” has the opposite effect on your life. Cheese flavor boosters are not distantly related to even cheese-not even kissing cousins. They are a blend of spices, sugar, salt, MSG and imitation flavors. A symbol of the manufacturers’ necromancy of which you must be wary is “processed” cheese. Beatrice Trum Hunter in her book Consumer Beware categorizes processed cheese as a “,plastic mass.” Back in 1935, F. J. S&link of Consumers’ Research warned that “one of the major atrocities of this age is the disappearance of natural cheese -and the substitution for it of what is called “processed” cheese, made by grinding cheese of very low quality of

any quantity that happens to be , available and mixing in chemicals and emulsifiers. ” Natural cheese matures slowly, through. enzymatic action. Processed cheeses are made quickly by heat and then aerated to increase their volume. As Beatrice Trum ‘Hunter points out, “The end. products have undergone such modifications that they scarcely deserve classification as food.” Cottage cheese, which weight watchers eat so virtuously by the carton, comes in for its share of tampering. Sodium hypochlorite maybe used in the process of washing the curd. Diacetyl may be added as a flavoring agent. Large amounts of salt may be added. Annatto (a dye derived from seeds) or cochineal (a dye derived from dried female insects) may be used as coloring agents. Hydrogen peroxide is frequently used’ as a preservative. Calcium sulfate, which is related to plaster of paris, which has no nutritive value and is a material of questionable safety in foods, is permitted and usually used on cottage cheese. Mold retarders -of sorbic acid are also permitted. Nothing but the sorbic acid is re-quired to be noted on the label. The hydrugen peroxide is added to destroy bacteria as well as bleach the cheese. At the same time, it destroys vitamin A.

Later, a catalase is added in order to remove the hydrogen peroxide. The wrapper on the cheese does not tell .you ‘about the peroxide. Nor does it tell you about the dyes that have been used in- order to color the product. Blue or green coloring is sometimes added to white cheese to offset the natural- I white color of the milk.

Truly. natural cheese is made from certified raw milk produced from animals on farms not using chemical fertilizers or pesticides. But only organic cheese meets all these requirements. Many varieties of natural cheese-like Edam, Gouda, Provolone and Swiss-which originated ’ Europe are now produced or sodn in Canada and are available in most health-food stores. -june

Both theses plants get their common name, Lipstick Plant, from the flowers they produce. The blossom is tubular, mahogany. coloured at the base, and from the tube a red portion emerges. Columneas are small-leaved tropical plants of South America. The basic difference in the Trichosporum is larger leaves that are shaped much like a pair of lips. These hanging plants require good drainage therefore a soil mixture of equal parts sand, soil and peat moss is recommended. Feed the plants a mild fertiliter, that is high in phosphorus on a monthly basis from March to September and keep the soil evenly moist. Give bright light, including direct sun in winter, and protect from hot sun in summer. This is a tropical plant and benefits from regular mistings. This is an easy plant to grow.

for meat

q I

h The two following features and the one on the previous page are reprinted from The Critical List, a maga,zine which attempts to investigate and expose profiteering and exploitation by the food, drug and medical industries.

Sale of meat over Canadian counters is a multi-million-dollar industry whose voracity makes the shark in “Jaws” look like a goldfish. Corporate greed is fed, too, by government failure to curb the - industry’s unappeaseable appetite for profit. “Controls” range from poor to token to ineffective to non-existent. The consumer’ if he isn’t hooked one way, is hooked another. The whole dirty business is a suppurating mess of illegal cover-ups, “forgotten” fdes and disregarded public protests stacked 30 feet deep. Cases have surfaced recently that hint at the sickening ramifications of this national disgrace. Ranging from your corner food-shops to the super-chains to the’ crime-operated meat runners to the new disclosures that U.S. herbicidal war chemicals contaminate Canadian meat, the sordid story is dereliction crowned with government amounting to criminal complicity. Most dramatized was the tainted meat scandal that disclosed rotten meat had been fed Quebec consumers for 10 years--had even crossed Ontario’s border. Organized crime was named initially, but when the 271-page report of the Quebec Police Commission probe tugged away the manhole out popped organized business. Summing up months of hearings the Commission bluntly linked sale of putrid meat to “the pursuit of quick profits.’ Testimony proved that millions of pounds of carrion had been peddled to Quebec consumers through regular outlets. The board, chaired by Judge Jean Dutil, stated that Quebec, Montreal, and Ottawa officials knew all about the flourishing sale of unfit meat in the 1960’s. “It was proved.. . that written reports were made repeatedly to government authorities from 1967 onwards. ” It urged criminal charges be laid against 33 Quebec meat salvagers and distributors. (As we go to press, four eastern Ontario meat dealers were reported charged in Kingston with “selling meat unfit for human consumption. ’ ‘) The report criticized Ottawa for failing to enforce the Food and Drug Act which outlaws meat from diseased or improperly slaughtered animals. ‘ ‘Indifference, combined with knowledge of the facts, could. . . be described as criminal,” the report stated. “Negligence and laxity could be the equivalent of complicity.” The tangled web of corporate greed and organized crime, of direct or indirect .govemment complicity, is typical of all such cases. A particularly sordid example of indifference to public health was disclosed in Toronto following a survey of Canada’s national meat packers and distributors. Conducted by Guelph microbiologists, this survey found that packaged ham, bologna and meat loaf contained astronomical counts of bacteria. Yet no safety standards regulating meats appear in the statute books, said Dr. Cyril Duitschaver, who conducted the study. Duitschaver’s sampling revealed that on the average Bums’ luncheon meats had 12,000 times the number of bacteria as, say, Schneider’s products. Maple Leaf products had 760 times as many as Schneider’s, and Swift’s had 260 times as many. In self-defence, Dr. A .K. Morris, director of federal meat inspection in Ontario, “explained” that bacteria counts had been

discussed by the health and welfare department for some time. “They probably will come up with standards, but there is nothing now .” The super-chains appear also to have developed label-switching techniques for dumping cheaper cuts of meat onto consumers at top prices. In Toronto supermarkets were charged under federal and provincial laws for practicing this swindle-but not before consumer protests forced the government’s hand. Charged were Dominion Stores, Loblaws, Miracle Mart and Safeways. Additional charges were laid against A & P and 17 independents for “misrepresenting” their ground meat. These firms faked a leaner, redder and fresher appearance by adding sulphurous acid to ground meat. This chemical, a bleaching agent known to be harmful, is widely used by the chains, and their lesser imitators, to push otherwise unsaleable meat-a double threat to the buyer who is both poisoned and charged for the poison. Within this same period four fast food biggies-including MacDonalds and A & W who shovel out vast quantities of ham-

When your groceries pass through the check-out counter of your local supermart, you get robbed. However, the robbery is not a typical robbery. It’s all legal. The crime is rising food prices. The culprit is the food industry and the chain stores. But why and how do the food monopolies cause rising food prices? They raise prices because they want larger profits. And they are able to raise prices because they monopolize the market. Price competition doesn’t exist; instead, the monopolies all agree to charge the highest price the consumer can bear. Six chain companies dominate the food market. The Oshawa Group (Food City; IGA), A and P, Canada Safeway Ltd., Dominion Stores Ltd., George Weston Ltd. (Loblaws), and Steinberg’s Ltd., account for 80 per cent of the gross revenues fi-om all the retail food outlets in Canada. These companies also control much of their own food production. For instance,

burgers at excessive prices, mostly to kids-were studied by an independent research team. Found were varying quantities of fetal material in the meats of every chain investigated. Action? None. In North York, an official check-up of food shops revealed that one in every

three-but why go on? The flow of highcost filth is deep and endless. The exchange of good money for bad meat will continue forever unless stopped. It will stop only when the public decides it must, and not one day sooner.

Dominion Stores has seven processing companies. Loblaws also controls over 80 food companies which supply their 2,000 supermarkets . In short, a small number of companies control most of the production and distribution of food in Canada. So when Kraft cdntrols 70 to 80 per cent of Canada’s cheese trade or Campbell’s controls 80 per cent of the soup market, it means they set whatever price they want on their product-regardless of the labor costs involved in production. This price-fixing increases corporate profits and it eats into our wages. Monopolies use their control of production and distribution to benefit themselves and we pay the price. So when Loblaws says, “The price is right,” we can quite properly reply: “Yes, the price is right for you but not for us.” How does monopoly price-fixing work? Let’s take the rising cost of bread in Loblaw stores for an example. Recently, Stephen Lewis, NDP leader in Ontario, asked the Ontario Minister of Consumer and Commercial Relations the following rhetorical question: “Is the minister aware that Loblaws said they had to raise the price of bread because of the increased cost to the supplier, the supplier being Weston’s which owns Loblaws-as the minister knows? “Weston’s said it had to raise the price because of the increased costs to its suppliers for milk and sugar; the suppliers for Weston’s are Donlands and Royal Dairy and West Cane Sugar, all owned by Weston’s .” “Weston’s then said that the flour had gone up from their suppliers, the suppliers being McCarthy Mill of StreetsviIIe and Soo Line of Winnipeg, both wholly-owned subsidiaries of Weston’s .” “They then said that the distribution costs were going up which would require an increase in bread and the distributors involved were National Grocers and York

Trading, both subsidiaries of the Weston empire. ’ ’ Clearly, Loblaws is trying to place the blame for rising prices on their suppliers-but they own their suppliers. Their control over all phases of both production and distribution makes them responsible for higher food prices. We already know about our rising food prices, but let’s look ai: their profit increases from 1972 to 1973: PROFITS (percentage change) George Weston 44.9 percent Dominion 29.9 percent Maple Leaf Mills 59.9 percent Silverwood Ind . 42 .O percent These profits in sugar and milk industries and chain stores are directly related to rising food costs. In short, they are robbing us of our money-legally. In addition to higher profits, many useless extra costs are added on to our food bills. For example, we pay for fancy packaging and advertising. The Special House of Commons Committee on Food Prices (1973) was told that “between 1966 and 1970 packaging costs rose more than 33 per cent, far more than the cost of food itself.” As far as advertising goes, 10 per cent of the price of margarine and 13.5 per cent of the price of bar soaps are due to advertising costs. The same is true for most of the products we buy. In their defence, the supermarket executives claim they only make one per cent on their total sales. But profit is not usually determined by the ratio between income and sales; most economists and companies determine profits as the ratio between income and assets. There’s a big difference as you can see from the chart below. This chart shows that the profit is closer to 6 per cent-not the one per cent that Dominion claims. It’s mainly because of the deceit that people think otherwise. 4. haywood

When a university degree fails to deliver the wages which can satisfy neither men’s ‘investment’ nor women’s ‘hope’, we both confront the reality of schoolwork as unpaid work.

This feature was written for the chevron by Tim Grant, a fourth year Arts student at UW. It suggests that schoolwork must be viewed from the perspective that it is work, and therefore worthy of a wage, and that students should be seen as workers and not as “parasites”. We hope by printing this article to open up discussion in this area, and would welcome response to it.

Wagelessness

ost of us are at university because we see it as the route to better jobs and higher wages. With higher wages, we hope to have more power to get what we want out of life-time to develop our interests, to enjoy family and friends-in a word, to do whatever we decide we want to do. But in recent years, the chances of getting a well-paying job at the end of our 20-odd years of schooling have shrunk. There are fewer jobs available, and many of those available, such as teaching, have become much harder work. We also find that the pay levels for these jobs are not as high as we expect. With wage controls and staff reductions by both business and government, the picture is becoming grimmer. Statistics Canada estimates that between 1973 and 1980, more than 2.5 million students will receive post-secondary degrees, while only 600,000 jobs requiring these qualifications will become available. With these things in mind, it has become very difficult for us to stomach three or four years of hard work and thousands of dollars of debts. While it is clear our lives as students and our future prospects are increasingly uncertain, it is not as clear what we can do about it. Teachers, postal workers and all workers who receive a wage have an employer whom they confront over how much money they get and how much work they have to do. The outcome of that struggle determines how much time and money they have to do whatever they choose to do. But for students, housewives and other workers who receive no wage, the absence of a wage has made it appear that we work only “for ourselves”, or for husbands and children in the case of housewives. The Wages for Housework Movement, by clearly identifying that the maintaining and raising of the present and future labour force is essential work for the functioning of society, from which all employers benefit, has opened the way for students to see schooling as work. As in the case of housewives, our lack of a wage has hidden the work we do in school, and has often defined us as parasites on the backs of our parents and the taxpapers. But schoolwork is work, not only because it involves a lot of hassles, effort and long hours. More fundamentally, it is work because as students, we are actively engaged in producing a very important product-ourselves-as a speciptally trained segment of the future labour force;

The work we do in school involves both acquiring knowledge and technical competence to perform certain jobs, as well as developing the selfdiscipline which will enable us to handle the daily

routine of our future jobs. While the work we do in schools appears to be for our own benefit, it is our future employers, who need our skills and self-discipline, who are the real beneficiaries of our work. Schoolwork certainly feels like work. Even in the best courses, involving the most interesting books, being forced to read those books in a certain time limit, or write book reports, or study them for an exam, becomes an imposition on our time. For men students, university was always seen as an investment towards a higher future income. The “investment” aspect of our schooling served to hide the work we were doing already. For women students, university offered the hope of being able to avoid the fate of the fulltime, wageless housewife. But as women have discovered, most university-trained women end up either as full-time housewives or in low-paid social service jobs which are extensions of housework.

forcing our mothers to take a second job outside the home, over and above,her housework. Finally, the fact that we don’t get paid for our schoolwork, saddling us with large debts when we forces us to get a job imleave university, mediately rather than travel, relax or do something we want to do. When I left university a few years ago with a B.A., I was saddled with a $2,500 debt. I decided to stay in Kitchener because most of my friends were here. The only job I could find with a high enough wage to enable me to pay off my debt quickly was at the Uniroyal tire plant, working on rotating shifts. The consequences of my wagelessness as a student was driven home to me when I couldn’t afford to refuse the job or all the overtime work on weekends. My sister went to university at the same time I did, and ended up with a $4,000 debt. Two years later, she is still working to pay it off-1 paid mine off within a year. The difference reflects the difference of power between men and, women to command higher wages both during summer jobs and later after graduation.

The lack of a wage for our schoolwork keeps us financially dependent on our parents and the state. Our wagelessness forces many of us to take part-time jobs in addition to full-times jobs as students. We also have to work full-time during what is supposed to be our summer ‘vacation’. We university students are not alone in being forced to take second jobs over and above our schoolwork. In Kitchener’s largest downtown high school, three-quarters of the students had part-time jobs in 1974-75. With so many wageless students competing with each other and with other workers for jobs, wages are kept down and those who get jobs are forced to work harder to keep them. In the same way, our financial dependence on our parents becomes a discipline on them to work longer and harder, and is often the main factor

and the state

The state has always understood the crucial economic function of schoolwork. One of the clearest statements of this recognition is the U.S. government study entitled “Work in America”, published two years ago. The study reflects a clear perception of society as a huge “social factory”, with each institution playing an important role in contributing to the overall profits of the economy. The study argues that schools should be restructured in various ways to reflect even more closely the needs of the labour market. A recent article in “Psychology Today”, titled significantly “Civil War in the High Schools”, reflects a growing awareness that conflicts within schools are inherent to their structure. The authors argue the need to introduce some form of collective bargaining between students and school officials, similar to the forms we know of in other workplaces. Newspaper articles abound these days with titles such as, “Schooling blamed for unprepared labour’ ’ , where government and employers complain that the educational system is not providing the disciplined labour force employers want. The Ontario Federation of Students recently exposed a s’ecret government report in which government officials agreed to adjust tuition, loan and grant levels to ‘ ‘reflect manpower development priorities.” In other works, “where growth is desired”, tuition would be lower and grants higher for students in those fields where the employers want trained workers. Thus the state intervenes and manipulates the

students demonstrate that we already receive a form of wages for schoolwork through the grant system. The Ontario Student Aid Program is just that. It’s interesting to see how the government calculates the cost of food, books, housing, transportation, etc. to determine what it costs for a student to stay alive.. From the state’s and employer’s viewpoint, that’s what a wage iswhat is necessary for us to maintain ourselves so we can continue to work for them. Other categories of students also receive a form of wages for schoolwork. Thousands take Canada Manpower Training Programs, and receive a subsistence wage while at school. High school students who leave home can get welfare if they stay at school. Also, the Canadian Armed Forces pay university students to go to school if they enrol1 in officer training programs. The difference between all these forms of wages for schoolwork and an explicit wage for schoolwork is that they all assume that schooling is a privilege rather than work, so we should be glad to receive less than welfare and accumulate large debtswhen we demand wages for schoolwork, we make clear that schoolwork is a job like any other job, and that we want a lot more money than mere subsistence.

sity students to pay back their student loans. By 1970, more than 50 per cent of outstanding loans were not being repaid. In this way, students were refusing the discipline and the pressures that a huge debt creates to quickly find a job after graduation. Since then, student loan regulations have been tightened up to prevent students from simply taking money for schoolwork by refusing to repay loans. Students also get access to goods which a wage usually permits through shoplifting books, food, clothes, etc. A few years ago, there was a citywide campaign against shoplifting in KitchenerWaterloo, which suggests that not only students, but also workers in stores and warehouses, have supplemented their income in this way. In the last few years, university students have been organizing around how much money they get from the state for schoolwork. In 1976 already there have been large demonstrations of students at Queen’s Park, at the New Brunswick legislature, and at the University of Calgary over grants and loans. In a three-week Quebec-wide strike by community college students last year, students de-

manded that their parents’ income should have no bearing on student grants, and that all students should get a guaranteed annual wage equivalent to welfare for a single person. The fact that even getting welfare would be a big gain shows how little our work is valued at present. In effect, the Quebec students were demanding wages for schoolwork, without being quite so coherent, It should be noted that community college students in Quebec pay no tuition, so they already had a significant amount of leverage or power to reduce the level of indebtedness that wagelessness usually means for Ontario students. Similarly, the opposition of Ontario students to decreases in grants and proposed tuition increases shows clearly that we think we should get more money, not less, for going to school. The Ontario Federation of Students is demanding free tuition and a “living stipend” for university students. This is a positive move, but unless we make clear that going to ‘school is work, and we want to get paid for it, it will be difficult to avoid the traditional blackmail that we are a “privileged” group living off the backs of the taxpayers. These recent actions by Canadian university

Although we and other students have been struggling against schoolwork in all kinds of ways, as well as getting some money, our weakness has been the failure to fight for wages for schoolwork in a direct way. When high school students drop out, they are forced by the lack of power that comes with wagelessness to take jobs for the minimum wage (although they seldom remain tied to them). When we finish university with large debts, our wagelessness forces us to find a job quickly. Frequently we even have to lie about our education in order to get temporary jobs in offices and factories. Our power to date has been built through our refusal of schoolwork and our limited success in getting some money. But we need wages for schoolwork to further develop our power to decide how much work we do at school and whether to take part-time or full-time jobs after graduation. Like housewives, when we are not paid for the work we do, the state doesn’t care how many hours we work a day. But when we demand wages for schoolwork, we make visible all the unpaid work school involves, and we can begin to struggle, like other workers, over how much of our time we are forced to submit to schoolwork for how much money. In this way, we will be able to take time off from schoolwork without having to feel guilty. Wages for schoolwork will also remove much of the anxiety we experience about having to work hard and perform well in school in order to get a good job. Wages for schoolwork will not only mean having the power to refuse part-time and summer jobs in addition to schoolwork, but will also enable us to reduce much of our schoolwork. The idea that we should get wages for schoolwork is not something that fell out of the clouds. It emerges precisely at the time when the state is trying to impose more work for less money on all workers, waged and wagelessthrough transit fare increases and reduced services, daycare cutbacks, rising food prices and energy prices, and wage controls. As we examine all the unrecognized and unpaid work we do at school, we shouldn’t forget that other workers are struggling to get paid for all their work too. When women, for instance, struggle for more and cheaper daycare, lower food prices, or the availability of safe abortions and birth control, they are struggling over the amount of work they are forced to do. And now women are organizing for wages for houseworknot only in the home, but all the unpaid work they do outside the home too. And when men workers struggle for more money and less work, as they’ve been doing in record numbers and with “alarming” success in the last few years, they are fighting for wages for all the work they do both on and off the job. Thus, while the state is trying to get more schoolwork for less money from us, we are not alone in wanting more money, more time and less work for ourselves. To the extent’ that we get paid for our work at school, and are not forced to compete for jobs with other workers, we will give them more power to struggle for more money and less work. So winning more power for ourselves gives other workers more power also. Last year, Ottawa lent $142.3 million to 140,000 students under the Canada Student Loan Plan. As the federal government raises its defense spending this year from $2.5 billion to $5 billion, and prepares to .kick in another $200 million for the Olympics, let’s not forget there’s more where that came from!

Mat men tough The Waterloo’ wrestling team travelled tc Kingston last weekend for the OUAA championships. The men showed well, placing . third behind strong Guelph and Western teams. _ The most exciting match of the meet was between Waterloo’s Tim Wenzel and Ryerson’s Joe Dell ‘Aquila for the 142 lb. championship. Tim is a national team member and Joe is the number two man in the country behind Kitchener’s outstanding Egan Beiler. The match ended in a 7 all draw. Tim was awarded the decision on the basis of having scored more technicals (points for moves). Two of ‘Dell ‘Aquila’s points were given to penalize Tim, not because Joe earned them. \ Tim was awarded the championships outstanding wrestler award. Ironically Dell ‘Aquila was named last years outstanding wrestler for beating Tim. . Freshman Bob Emtage also did well. He came in second m the.177 lb. category behind Guelph’s Tom Bethune. Bethune surprised Bob and Pinned him early in the fight= Other top Waterloo finishers were: Andy McCallum, 2nd at heavyweight; Tim Marks, 3rd at 220 lb.; Tony Beiler, 3rd at 118 lb. The competition was tough in all weight classes. Waterloo looks like one of the teams of the future. We were the only team to field a complete team, many of whom were freshmen. With Kurt Boese’s expert coaching these young athletes, most of whom finished in the top five, should develop into future contenders -gord Cole. l

Dog days & nightrider need praise The album which was produced and recorded at Buddy Buie’s Studio One in Atlanta contains 8 cuts, all co-authored by band members. ARS combines a blend of R&B, country and rock into a .well balanced sound. The bass work of Paul Goodard, percussion by Robert Nix and the keyboards of Dean Daughtry form an effective supple background to the lead vocals of Ronnie Hammond and the dual lead guitar work of J.R. Cobb. and Barry Bailey.

The record industry over the years has witnessed many promotional campaigns, tirades of hype and other sensational exercises of hucksters all aiming primarily at selling only quantity. The usual result of such a policy is a decline in quality of the “promotion made” band. As a result many talented artists are seldom heard of except for occasional exposure on FM stations. One such unheralded band which is little known but has produced excellent material over- the last five years is The Atlanta Rhythmn Section. Both their “Back Up Against the Wall” and “Third Annual Pipe Dream” albums have been touted by observors as fine musical accomplishments, with the latter compared in quality to the Allman’s ‘ ‘Idewild South”. Thus it is of no surprise “Dog that their fourth album, Days’ ’ on Polydor continues on such a high plane of excellence.

The sextet is equally proficient at hard driving rock or at melodic, sleepy ballads . The cuts “Crazy”, “Boogie Smoogie” and “Silent Treatment” portray the band’s talent with rocking, boogie type numbers. Predominent in these selections are the strong vocals provided by Hammond and the stellar two guitar sound of Cobb and Bailey which is reminiscent of a style first

initiated by the Allman Brothers. On the other hand, the two beautiful ballads entitled “Dog Days” and “All Night Rain” are handled with a degree of merit whit h would be quite on par with J.J. Cale’s record classic “Magnolia”. All in all The Atlanta Rhythmn Section presents a fluid, versatile sound, which unfortunately though has not yet received the attention that this hard working, talented band deserves. Another group of the same ilk is the Charlie Daniels Band. These “good ole boys” from the heart of Tennessee could acquit themselves well both with rock enthusiasts as well as country and western fans, as is evidenced on their Kuma Sutra album “Nightrider”. Group leader Charlie Daniels both physically and creatively dominates this album. Eight out of nine cuts are written by Daniels who also provides the lead vocals along with a high degree of expertise on guitar, fiddle, mandolin and banjo. The rock-a-billy style of music combines well with simple down to earth lyrics dealing with the beauty and experience of southern * life. This “southern style” can be compared to that of Marshall Tucker, Lynyrd Skynyrd and the Outlaws.

The fast tempo of country is most dominant in the selections “Texas”, “Funky Junky” and “Evil”. A country and western flavour is evident on the cuts “Damn Good Cowboy” and ‘ ‘ Tomorrow’s Gonna’ Be Another Day”. The group’s versatility and professional tightness is exhibited on “Franklin Limestone” and ‘ ‘Willie Jones ’ ’ , probably the two best tracks on the album. Here the wide scope of the band is proven through standout solos on the mandolin, banjo, slide guitar and organ. Overall the album provides a recorded quality which is as clear and fresh as the material included. No performance is overtly clashing and all selections are evidently a mix of great talent packaged into one superb album, a tribute not only to group members, but also to the recording techniques of producer Paul Hornsby and the facilities used at the Capricorn Studios at Macon Georgia. Thus both “Dog Days” and “Nightrider” are albums, that despite their lack of “packaged promotion” are albums of great merit, containing exceptional talent and musicianship. Pick them up and see for yourself! -john

The drama of absurdity When the poetry of good dram: is poorly delivered, a great deal o the power of the play is lost and nc amount of visual spectacle can re vive it. This is the fate of Eugen Ionesco’s Jack, or the Submission presented at the Theatre of the Arts this past week during noon hours. Actors with little or no contrc of their voices can’t grasp tb rhythm of speech and thereforf miss much of the action of th( dialogue and meaning of a scene. By ornamenting the action wit1 slapstick, director Rick Armstron: has obscured the more subtle ob servations Ionesco has made abou the plight of the individual in sock ety. Though the play was original1 written in French, the translatio used for this production still re tains a good deal of the meaning i the sounds of the words beyonc the superficial statements the imply. None of the actors find thei natural rhythm (that is, natural tc the text.) Basic problems such a articulation, breath control an tone account for the difficulties. Sheila Thistlewaite, as Grand mother Jack, put on a shriek falsetto. Very little of what sh said was intelligible because sh didn’t articulate. Terry Bryant, as Jack, fumble{ out words rather than speakin them. Consequently his charac terization missed the guts of th role. Critics in the past have classe Ionesco’s drama as ‘ ‘absurdist” That doesn’t mean that there is n meaning to the stage action. A “absurd” delivery of the text is cop-out to the playwright’s genius Because the director hasn’t con centrated on the text he depend upon artificial devices to carry th interest of the spectator; sugget tive lighting, slap-stick humou and sight-gags. This is not to say that there is n place for vaudeville humour i Jack. Ionesco’s wild imaginatio almost demands it, but controllec in reasonable doses. The poetr defines the pace for meaning, nc: vice-versa. What happens to the play is th; the audience roars during the fir! ten minutes. The opening j strong, too strong because the pla steadily declines to a lull right i the middle when Jack is left alon with Roberta II. Jack waits to long before he reacts to Robed and tension isn’t properly built u for his orgasm. Had the director been full aware of the harshness of the te: he would have no need to send ac tors into the audience for shock e feet. Not all of Ionesco’s meanir comes through sound painting. H employs mundane cliches fc ironic emphasis. The bite of th play rests in its fierce irony. Jack’s first pretended submi sion is when he agrees to love has brown potatoes. His mother, wl had previously called him u’ natural for not accepting her vi ues (symbolized in the potatoes now extoles him for his got sense. In reality, this submissic means joining the world ( mediocrity, where madness shared equally by all. In this prl duction, it appears as though Jac continued

Love that furry freaky SF stuff LASER

BOOKS

- Collectors

Edi-

Laser Books is a new publishing group that has recently been placing a lot of titles on the science fiction market in the form of paperback novels. Laser is a subsidiary company of the renowned Harlequin Romance people, and I use the word renowned in a villainous reference. Harlequin it seems, feels that science fiction is now accepted enough to warrant their entry into the field in an almost overbearing manner. By publishing three separate titles a month, and setting up their displays in grocery and variety store racks, Laser has tried to get at the “regular” science fiction fan, and a wider audience as well. The discerning, sophisticated reader will find these books of amusing value, but as for style and plot, most are washouts. Collector’s Edition, offered as a preview of the “goodies” to come in future releases, was issued before the onslaught. This is Seeds of Change by Thomas F. Monteleone’ . Like the other books that have appeared so far, it has a cover by Kelly Freas showing a face in the foreground and a less detailed scene from the novel in the background. It is 190 pages in length, and is priced at 95 cents (a break from the recent increases in other science fit tion paperbacks). The price, however, is indicative of the quality. Monteleone’s story is set in a fairly regular “cityplex” of the future, complete with rigidly con-

trolled inhabitants and a govemment that kills off any potential dissenters (just like in real life). Stone, our eventual hero, is a government employee who hunts down dissenters. He is unhappy about this however, and meets a mysterious woman who proceeds to capture his imagination. One day he discovers that he has been fingered as a dissenter and, naturally enough, his lady friend turns out to be a member of the outlawed rebellion, and has him whisked away by able-bodied brothers of the cause. (Why he is so important to their cause is left for you to figure out). Meanwhile, the Mars colony has been abandoned by Earth (cliche, cliche), but an alien spaceship lands and it is used to return to Earth; just in time to help the rebels. Obviously the alien weapons in the ship are utilized to turn the rebel defeat into a brilliant victory. Hurray for the cavalry! ! ! (pardon me for not jumping up and cheering) . Though the Earth characters are of acceptable quality, the Martians leave much to be desired. Even after generations away from Earth, they still waste precious oxygen on cigarettes ; and the difference in gravity doesn’t seem to bother them at all ! These, and other “technical details”, make the story just a bit too corny for my tastes, and should have been caught by the editor. With blatant errors like “ . . .some of them’s job is.. .”

(page 129), I can only hope that the others in the Laser line show a better quality from both writer and editor. +nichael LASER BOOKS gade of Time-95

No. l-Renecents.

This first of Laser Books series of science fiction novels was written by Raymond F. Jones. Jones is an old hand at SF and I expected a good novel from him. If your tastes in SF aren’t too great, you will enjoy it. Our hero, a physics student stumbles into a time channel and is whisked off to an alien planet

where he meets a girl named Tamarina. She is an Algoran, a race that has discovered how to travel in time. Apparently the wicked Bakori (another group of aliens) are tapping the Algoran time channels and are getting access to this universe. Our hero escapes, but finds he has caused the kidnapping of Tamarina by the Bakori. He proceeds to rescue the, lass (with a little kind assistance from the Bakori). He then returns to Earth, where he finds out that the Bakori tapped their escape chan-

nel and are now attacking the Earth with images and illusions. All hope seems lost, but-you can guess at the outcome, even if you’ve never read SF before. On a critical level, Renegades of Time is not the worst science fiction ever published. The plot has rather large holes in it, but that is not sacrilege. Though it was better than Seeds of Change, it was a let down for anyone who has read Jones’ better works. To the notso-sophisticated reader it will go down r well, and for anyone just starting to read SF, it would be ideal. -michaeI

Native sons: L&M’s best efforts. Following the debacle of the oldies LP, So Fine, Loggins and Messina have rebounded back with the kind of pop-rock music which they handle best. Native Sons, the duo’s contribution to the U.S.’ bicentennial party, is simply their most enjoyable collection of songs since the second Loggins and Messina album. Like that record, the new LP contains some solid up tempo rock, a few strong, extended instrumental passages, and a handful of very pretty slower tunes. However, Native Sons is distinguished from the first three albums by the presence of veteran arranger Marty Paich, whose brilliant and sensitive string charts are perfectly tailored to L&M’s gentler numbers. (L&M would be foolish not to use him on future efforts.) The set starts off with a typical L&M tune, “Sweet Marie,” which is characterized by a rather jumpy beat, and Jim Messina’s mechanical guitar playing. The song is not ’ one of his stronger compositions,

Earth, Wind & Fire have been in existence for quite some time now, growing, developing their dis tinctive style, and metamorphosing the band into their present form. They are tin exCellent band of black musicians who up until the last 6 months had really been carrying only a relatively small group of very ‘dedicated followers. Since the release of their incredible sandtrack album, The Way of the World, (last summer), the group has become very popular, gathering together a &ch wide; audience. In my opinion they are the best at this particular style of mu&c. Just prior to The Way of the World Eatih, Wind & Fire expanded their band to include 9 musicians. On Gratitude they havi added a 3 piece horn section so that these 12 people create one of the most versatile and complete band sounds that I have ever heard. Included here are the standard band musicians, (guitars, drums and keyboards), an incredibly wide variety of vocals, African based percussion instruments, and the horn section. It all goes to: gether’ to make a music which

combines the beat of Africa with the drive of rock, with the variety of jazz. The music of Earth, Wind & Fire reaches down ta the very source of my being and makes me move to its beat. It’s an incredibly alive feeling that.1 get when I participate with these musicians. Gratitude is a unique 2 record set, giving us 3 live sides of music and 1 studio side of music. It is all excellent. To my knowledge this is the first live album by this band. It is really a treat to listen to. The recording is certainly the best that I have heard since The Wiiiter Consort’s Road album, (probably the best live recording eve?). The engineers deserve a very big hand for Gratitude, because their skill has made it_,so much better. I should note that the studio side is just as excellent in recording, arranging, and mixing. A real treat to listen to. Musically this album is a mixture of.all of Earth,--Wind & Fire’s previous “hit tunes”. The list includes such pieces as the single Xhining Star”, the beautiful vocal ttine ‘ ‘Reasons”, the strongly percussion based tune “Medley: Africano/Power’ ’ , and other beautiful songs such as ’ “Yearnin’ Learnin’ ’ ’ , ‘ ‘Devotion”, “New World Symphony”, and the rest. The tunes are listed on the back cover anyway. Check it out. Generally these live versions lengthen the song from the original studio versions, by repeating the choruses and adding instrumental solos of sax, guitars, vocals and horns. But the band also speeds up the tempo of the songs, so that they almost seem to bounce along faster than the original. The total impres,sion is a very good one. It lets us really feel the excitement of the live -performance. And it certainly is very exciting ! Mixed throughout ,these live sides are recorded pieces of cfowd noise. In fact the applause and cheering becomes integral to the composition as the music begins,

but serves effectively as a familiar introduction to the rest of the album. Messina’s “Pretty Princess’ is one of L&M’s finest moments, and Paich’s strings are exquisitely ar-ranged. The song manages to be both touching and powerful simultaneously, and the playing is often inspired. Kenny Loggins’ soothing vocals carry the waltz-like “Lady My Love ,” a pleasant cross between its predecessor, “Lady Of My Heart” atid “Les Bicyclettes du Belsize” . The closing tune on side one shows off both Loggins’ slow and fast styles, starting quietly, building to a rocking climax, and ending on a soft horn note. Side two reveals one beautifully melodic song after another, beginning with the album’s most catchy tune, “Peacemaker”. Ostensibly about Hetiy Kissinger, “Peacemaker” boasts a great refrain, and the same superb musicianship (especially by regular Jon ‘Clarke) which was found in “Golden Ribbons” and “Pathway To Glory’ ’ . Messina’s “It’s Alright” is a devastating satire of the present condition of the U.S.; the lines concerning the welfare system and America’s colourful- heritage are particularly memorable, if often one-sided: “Old -grandad’s grateful/For his social security/You won’t be seeing him beg/The only trouble is/His diet of dog food/Has got him lifting his leg.. .” j avoids Messina neatly any drawn out feeling of regret by esimmediately into the caping album’s best bet for a long overdue hit single, “Boogie Man.” The lyrics are in the best tradition of “My Music”, and the whole thing kicks along nicely, powered by some lively horn playing and Messina’s usual great production. It might well be referred to as “Your Mama Don’t Dance ,Part 2."

The

LP closes

with

two

songs by Kenny Loggins. The charming “Fox&e” is treated to a clever arrangement, and Loggin’s vocals have never sounded better. The title track is probably the album’s prettiest number, w&h the kind of melody and arrangement that you listen to with your eyes closed; penned with Kenny’s brother Dan, it has the same dream-like quality which they created so successfully on “Sailin’ The Wind”. Native Sons is one of Loggins and Messina’s best albums. If you’ve worn out your copies of Sittin’ In and Loggins and Messina, you’ll definitely want this one.

carries through; and as it reaches its peaks, climaxes, and individual moments of excellence. Certainly it is not totally realistic, but it is effective. In fact without these interludes of audience reaction one might even mistake the live sides of music for studio work. Thus these pieces are very necessary to create the atmosphere ofit excitement and involvement that the band desires. The fourth side, that of studio music, is a very pleasant surprise; for 2 complete sides of live music might get oppressive. Instead Earth, Wind & Fire have given us a side of new music, and thus a progression for the band. These tunes continue in the tradition of excellent well performed music that the band has created in the past. Included are “Gratitude”, the title song which carries on a powerful disco beat, and a driving African bounce. It’s an excellent dance tune. Also on this side is the song that I enjoy as the best on the album; ‘-‘You Can’t Hide Love”. It is a truly beautiful song which is immersed in strings, horns and vocals; and the disco beat. I find it one of the finest tunes that Earth, Wind & Fire have ever done. There are 2 other songs on this side which employ the whole band creating their various musical styles. Very refreshing! Gratitude picks me up, makes me bounce, and makes me feel alive. Group leader Maurice White and his band, Earth, Wind & Fire, have arranged 4 sides of terrific music and given them to us in thanks for the support .that their following has given them over the years that it took to get to the top. This album set has been put together with the love that only a gr.oup who is really into their music can. And Earth, Wind & Fire really do get down into their music. They really do enjoy themselves. This feeling is carried through to you the listener over the whole album. It guarantees a non-s top good time. -bill

ciple which will be argued for long after the United States, not to. mention Professor Wahlsten and U.S. Imperialism, will have ceased to exist. I am arguing here for reason. To apply scientific analysis to large social and economic systems requires rigor and genius which boggles those of us who have some appreciation of the difficulties of applying it in the most sterile of laboratories to the simplest of phenomena. But it can and it has been done, as Professor Wahlsten points out in his article. Certainly Marx was one such genius.

Playwright on the way One of Canada’s most famous playwrights will be in town next week. John Herbert, author of “Fortune and Men’s Eyes”, “Born of Medusa’s Blood”, and “Omphale and the Hero”, will hold a seminar on creative writing in humanities 373 (1:30-3:30) on Monday. Herbert’s three day visit to the twin cities is sponsored by the departments of English and Drama, and bythe UW’s Canadian Studies Program. Herbert, born in Toronto in 1926, is a very successful playwright by Canadian standards. His prison drama, “Fortune and Men’s Eyes”, first evolved in the Stratford Festival workshop and Herbert’s own Toronto company, the Garret Theatre, was premiered at the Actors Playhouse, New York, in February 1967. Its trailblazing career produced a prison reform group, the Fortune Society, in the United States, translations into fourteen languages and presentation in about one hundred countries. It was filmed in an old Quebec prison and won high praise at the Venice Film Festival in 1971.

While I was dutifully reading my Chevron last week, I stumbled on a -paragraph in an article by University of Waterloo professor of psychology Doug Wahlsten, which at first appeared to be nothing more than an inconsistency in logic. Further analysis of the paragraph, and indeed the entire article, revealed that it was a great deal more than illogical, if one can conceive of something being more than illogical. Needless to say, as an undergraduate I am somewhat hesitant to take public issue with a member of the university faculty -especially one like Professor Wahlsten who has kindly taken the time and energy to submit an article to the student newspaper., * However, since my area of concern transcends both Professor Wahlsten’s and my own discipline, I suppose we can meet on amateur ground. Besides, someone has to comment on this nonsense. I am referring to Professor Wahlsten’s reporting of remarks made by the “first speaker” at the recent inaugural forum of the Anti-Imperialist Alliance (A.I.A.) education series, (Chevron, Feb. 20, 1976; p.8). Let me quote the paragraph in its entirety: “Our task is to unite the people in action against our common enemy, U.S. Imperialism and Canadian monopoly capitalist class. To do this we must use scientific analysis and convincing argumerit, which requires studying Marxism-Leninism-Mao Tsetung Thought in order to apply it. ” What the above paragraph suggests is that scientific analysis be used to “prove” a prejudiced conclusion. It is not a new idea to prostitute the scientific method in this way. It is at least as old an idea, Professor Wahlsten, as World War Two when Hitler ordered up dozens of professors of psychology to “apply scientific analysis” in order to substantiate the theories of his demented, racist psyche and to “provide convmcmg.arguments” which would “unite the people” against the “common enemy”. I do not take issue with the prejudiced conclusions themselves in the paragraph I have quoted. I am arguing here for a prin-

There have been others since, true scientists, and we must and we will proceed from here, not, Professor Wahlesten, in the tradition of Hitler, but in the tradition of Marx, and of Einstein, and of countless others who have earned the name “scientist”. Believe it or not, I make the above the above comments with an open mind and with an open heart and as an individual who craves the end of imperialism in all its various forms. But when the AntiImperialist Alliance (A.I.A.), through its educational forums, treats scientific analysis with such disgust and disdain, is it any wonder they provoke the disgust and disdain of scientists? To some of us, you see, scientific analysis is more than an instrument to be used to “prove” preset conclusions. To some of us, scientific analysis is a lifestyle. Apblied

William Lawvere, one of the world’s leading mathematicians, spoke to a large gathering of graduate students, faculty, and others at U. of W. on the subject: “Applying MarxismLeninism Mao Tse-Tung Thought to Science and Mathematics.” The talk was sponsored by the Department of Physics and the faculty of Mathematics. Lawvere is now teaching at the State University of New York at Buffalo. The lecture, which took place on Friday, February 6, was followed by an extended question period, in which members of the audience raised a number of basic issues concerning the practice of science and the interpretation of scientific results.

Under imperialism, science is corrupted to pseudo-science. Science is naturally materialistic, seek-, ing facts to aid in the struggle with nature, and to serve the people. But under imperialism, science is corrupted in order to provide justification’ for the most backward views in society, and in order to provide ideological props to hold up the ruling class. In his lecture, Lawvere listed a number of examples of this phenomenon, and members of the audience added more examples to the list.

Lawvere maintained that, contrary to much current propaganda, scientists want to see their work used to promote useful production, and to serve the needs of society. But under capitalism, the “needs of society” divide into two: the needs of the people and the needs of the ruling bourgeosie. Mathematics and science serve one side or the other in class struggle. In the birth of science the main contradiction was the struggle of man with nature. But now the main contradiction is

between the exploiters and the people. We should recall, Lawvere -said, that the bourgeoisie was originally a progressive class, energetic in overthrowing the feudal landlords and in setting up industry. But they became a reactionary class, and made compromises with the aristocracy. It was in this reactionary period that they sought to reestablish the ideology of the landlord class. Mathematics plays a central role in class struggle. Lawvere gave the example of the Club of Rome, which bases on computer modeling and extrapolation its conclusion that the world system will collapse in chaos unless authoritarian measures or war reduce population and production to one-half of their present levels. In such bourgeois science, computers and exponential functions are used as a replacement for investigation. Then pseudo-scientific conclusions are drawn, and are used as the basis of reactionary policies.

Scientists, like other people, naturally find the world to be real, and to exist outside their minds, independent of thei senses. This natural materialist view is opposed by the bourgeoisie, who want tc revive the supernatural, and to promote objective idealism. In the present era of imperialism, objective idealism has become the ideology of fascism. The passage from naive materialism tc objective idealism occurs in three stages, The first transition is to empiricism, which holds the world knowable through the evidence of the senses. The second passage is to subjective idealism, which denies the reality of the external world, and accepts only sense perceptions as real. Objects in the world are accepted only as “bundles of perceptions”. The final step is taken when the idealist position founders on the contradiction that different people seem to have different bundles of perceptions. The objective idealist position is that there must be some universal perceiver, or deity, of which all individual perceivers are but aspects. Recognizing that science is basically materialist , proponents of objective idealist theories always look for justification to “the latest results of science”, those which are likely to appear more mysterious to the people. Theoretical controversies, like the principle of indeterminacy in quantum mechanics, the curvature of space and distortions of time ‘in Einstein’s relativity theory, or the possibility of black holes in space, all have been popularized as “leaving room for the rediscovery of the deity”. Lawvere took John Archibald Wheeler’s recent ‘talks on cosmology as a case in point. At a philosophy of science conference in London Ontario this fall, Wheeler argued from self-referential paradoxes in mathematical set theory, to the necessity of a “self-referential universe”, a universe in which consciousness was implicit from the beginning, and in which there exists a realm “outside of time”. In his speech in Waterloo two weeks ago, Wheeler used the uncertainty principle in quantum mechanics to promote this subjective idealist idea: “only such a universe as would result in us could have come into being.” This is mystification rather than science, said Lawvere. Such conclusions can not reasonably be drawn from the existence of non-commuting operators in quantum mechanics. Lawvere was refused permission to question Wheeler about his views during the session in London. The chairman of the session explained later: “There are 57 Russians here, and we have detente.” It is clear that U.S. imperialists and Soviet social-imperialistsagree on these questions of idealist philosophy. Later during the conference, Lawvere had an opportunity to question Wheeler in private. Wheeler responded: ‘ ‘I am an ignorant man. I am no philosopher”. Subsequent search led to a book Black Holes by Taylor, a co-author with Wheeler, who Wheeler says “expresses these things better than I can.” Taylor’s book argues that the existence of black holes points to the collapse of the universe some billions of years in the future, and suggests that we must worry and be sad aboqt that prospect. It is openly fideist, claiming that all knowledge is based on a fundamental act of faith. People frequently ask Lawvere,“Are you suggesting that there is a conspiracy to promote these idealist views?” He gave a number of examples to indicate that the answer is “yes”. In Lenin’s work there is a denunciation of an American, Paul Carus, as a “literary rascal promoting pseudo-science.” As publisher of the Monist he provided a forum for subjective idealist views. His wife Mary Hegler Carus, the daughtkr of a zinc monopolist, donated a few thousand dollars to the Mathematical Association of America. On the same day, David Eugene Smith, the representative of the MAA who had contacted Mary Carus, gave his retiring address as president of the Association, an address entitled “The Religion of a continued on page 25

The criteria to be applied will vary according to the time when the assessment is being made. The true value of a particular piece of research can only be judged when it has been shown to withstand the test of time and to have contributed to the advancement

of knowledge. In assessing a recent piece of research the criteria which should be applied include originality in formulation of the hypothesis, experimental design and interpretation of results. Innovation does not necessarily predetermine excellence, but much of what is published in the scientific literature is repetitive and originality must, therefore, be considered an important component of valuable research. Other criteria which contribute to research quality include a rigorous and thorough examination of results for alternative explanations. A professor

Opposing the reformist approach to scientific work under imperialism, Lawvere described the present situation as one in which a small group of academics actively cultivates counter-revolutionary ideologies around the .world. He called upon scientific workers resolutely to oppose them. This view was shared by a member of the audience, who called upon scientists to “hammer away” at pseudo-science in their daily work. Members of the audience contributed further examples of perversions of science under imperialism. One scientist pointed out that the favorite concepts of current idealist pseudo-science are randomness and indeterminacy, for which Heisenberg is the main propogandist. Since the laws of nature are- probabalistic, the idealists argue, the power of the state is needed to control people. Idealists also like to think of behavior as innate, a view which aids in rationalizing racist politics. But they have had trouble reconciling this view with indeterminacy of the laws of nature. A recent publication concocts a typically pseudo-scientific compromise, claiming that what is inherited is not behavior itself, but the parameters of a stochastic process that regulates that be-’ havior . Although there is apparent advance in many fields of western science, Lawvere said, scientists are still stuck on the same old quandaries, such as in quantum electrodynamics. He assessed the current rate of progress of science under imperialism as slow. By comparison, science and technology are advancing on many fronts in the Pe,ople’s Republic of China. Scientific training is disseminated to the people; a common scientific language is developed. Under such conditions as now exist in China, science can serve the people.

Your questions regarding research were that good that I feel compelled to give my answers, even though belatedly. Answer

to Question

Research is a thoroughly creative activity. The researcher first gets acquainted with the state of the art which he will find unsatisfactory. Then he starts analyzing the facts, if he is a scientist or engineer he often generates new facts by doing experiments, and by the time he is through with his work all the facts should make more sense than they did before. Sometimes, this activity will lead to practical applications, ranging from economic and social revolutions to the invention of combustion engines and digital computers. The satisfaction a researcher gets out of his work is knowing he accomplished something new and presumably better than existed before. Answer

Our struggle is for the recognition of the Dene Nation by the Government and th people of Canada and the peoples and governments of the world. As once Europe was the exclusive homeland of the European peoples, Africa the exe lusive homeland of the African peoples, the New World, North and South America, wa the exclusive homeland of Aboriginal peoples of the New World, the Amerindian ant the Inuit. The New World like other parts .of the world has suffered the experience of co onialism and imperialism. Other peoples have occupied the land-often with force-an foreign governments have imposed themselves on our people. Ancient civilizations an ways of life have been destroyed. Colonialism and imperialism is now dead or ‘dying. Recent years have witnessed th birth of new nations or rebirth of old nations out of the ashes of colonialism. As Europe is the place where you will find European countries with European go\ ernments for European peoples, now also you will find in Africa and Asia the existent of African and Asian countries with African and Asian governments for the African an Asian peoples. The African and Asian peoples- the peoples of the Third World-have fought for an won the right to self-determination, the right to recognition as distinct peoples and th recognition of themselves as nations. But in the New World the native peoples have not fared so well. Even in countries i South America where the Native peoples are the vast majority of the population there I not one country

“If ,you

Colonialism The Canadian government has lon shared this point of view. In 1899 ani 1921, the government signed treaties wit the Dene, when mineral wealth was discc vered and the -developers wanted to us the land. But new evidence has arisen tl show that the people did not understan what they were signing, and that some c the signatures on the treaties were forget by government negotiators. Whenever. de velopment has taken place, the Indian

peoples.

Nowhere in the New World have the Native peoples won the right to sel determination and the right to recognition by the world as a distinct people and as N: tions. While the Native people of Canada are a minority in their homeland, the Native pet the Dene and the Inuit, are a majority of the population of th ple of the N.W.T., N.W.T. The Dene find themselves as part of a country. That country is Canada. But the Go\ emment of Canada is not the government of the Dene. The Government of the N.W.1 were not the choice of th is not the government of the Dene. These governments Dene, they were imposed upon the Dene. What we the Dene are struggling for is the recognition of the Dene Nation by th governments and peoples of the world. And while there are realities we are forced to submit to, such as the existence of country called Canada, we insist on the right to self-determination as a distinct peopl and the recognition of the Dene Nation. We the Delle are part of the Fourth World. And as the peoples and Nations of th world have come to recognize the existence and rights of those peoples who make u the Third World the day must come and will come when the nations of the Fourt World will come to be recognized and respected. The challenge to the Dene and tlworld is to find the way for the recognition of the Dene Nation. Our plea to the world is to help us in our struggle to find a place in the world con munity where we can exercise our right to self-determination as a distinct people and s a nation. What we seek then is independence and self-determination within the country ( Canada. This is what we mean when we call for a just land settlement for the Dene N; tion.

ave been tricked into giving away their md . “Treaty 8 was signed in 1899, three ears after the discovery of gold in the according to the Indian Brother‘ukon,” north, was OOd. “Treaty 11, further igned in 1921, one year after oil was disovered at Norman Wells. “The intent of these treaties had nohing to do with adequate provision for the iarticular development needs of Indian leople. Quite the opposite, the intent was enocidal. Since that time, our people ,ave been struggling to stay alive, both lhysically and culturally, in the face of olicies and programs stemming from the ame colonial and genocidal approach emodied in the treaties. “The lesson we have learned from the last 75 years is that any settlement proplsed by the government which seeks to xtinguish our rights in this same tradition ; to be rejected.” The Federal government, to the Dene nd Inuit of the Northwest Territories, is lot a body to represent people’s needs. nuit Tapirisat president James Arvaluk ecently called the north “Canada’s for;otten colony. ’ ’ To both the Dene and the nuit, the government is a colonial power. James Wah-Shee, fomrer President of he Indian Brotherhood of the Northwest rerritories, spelled out clearly the ways :olonialism manifests itself in the north: ‘It consists, in the first place, of years of :ffort by the dominant society to destroy bur language, our culture and our instituions. Other men’s truths are taught to our hildren. Our way of life is said to be irelevant to the modem world. The wislom of our old people is ignored. In short, )ur essence as Indian people is degraded nd we are made to feel the inferiority of he colonized . “Or consider the mundane matter of oil md gas, and the proposed pipeline. When ve Indian people try to protect our rights ve are told by the companies and gov:rnment that we must not stand in the vay of projects that will benefit all Canalians. Well, let us assume for the moment hat the gas is really needed in the south, lnd that is a very big assumption given he way in which the companies manipuate figures. Let us further assume that the :ompanies and a government which listens o them very carefully are really able to iefine the public interest, and that is rnother very big assumption. What would &ill be true is that the rights of Indian Jeople would be being pushed aside for vhat is at best the convenience and minor :omforts of an affluent society. That is surely colonialism of a very real nature no natter what rhetoric is used.”

The developers Pursuing the line of thought further, Wah-Shee points out that the companies operating in the north are the same ones which are engaged in heavy overseas exploitation, especially in the third world. “Let me give you a couple of examples ,” he says. “The first is Falconbridge Nickel, a company with large Canadian operations, though it is ultimately controlled by Superior Oil of Texas. In the Mackenzie District, Falconbridge owns Giant Yellowknife Mines, which has become infamous for producing arsenic as well as gold with predictable bad effects on the native people and the workers. As well, Falconbridge’s sister company, Canadian Superior Oil, is a member of the Arctic Gas consortium that wants to build the gas pipeline. “When it comes to the third world, Falconbridge has a record that I know many of you know of and strenuously object to. It operates in the Dominican Republic, the IJnion of South Africa and Rhodesia. I suppose a company that practices that kind of racism abroad doesn’t find it too burdensome to its conscience to put a little arsenic into the drinking water of the Indian people of the Yellowknife band.” Brascan which has practiced “literal genocide” against Indian people in Brazil, is also operating in the north. “Already Brascan owns minority interests in the Hudson’s Bay Company, in Elf Oil which has oil and gas rights in the western Arctic, and Magnorth Petroleum, which holds 14 million offshore acres in the Arctic islands.” In attempting to pursue their own way of life, and preserve their culture, language and identity, the Native people are running into direct opposition to the Federal government and the developers it represents in the north. “There are, in fact, two norths,” says the Indian Brotherhood. “On the one hand, there is the north as the last frontier of the big developers for whom the name of the game is resource exploitation, and to whom we Indian people are a nuisance and a relic of the past. On the other hand, there is the north that is the homeland of the original people, now struggling sert our right to self-determination

to asand re-

solved to build a world in which we can flourish indefinitely.” The land claims of the Native people in the north are not a threat to southerners, as some hysterical writers would have us believe. Rather,> they represent the just aspirations of an oppressed minority. They should be given the same support which Canadians have given to oppressed people the world over. -collin
