Fed exec performs Lpolitidl piriNi#te 1

Contrary to a statement made two weeks ago in the ehevron by vice:president Ron Hipfner, the federation executive will-not resign en masse in September, but; as ,of press time, Federation president Doug Thompson was still destined to resign. The chevron learned late Wednesday night from Thompson that he had not yet decided’to resign even though Hipfner had told the chevron and Kitchener radio stations that he had. Thompson, who has been away from office for over a month said, “My leave of absence will be terminated in the immediate-future - probably Monday”. He stressed that things have “changed drastically” since he left in June. , When he was reminded that his vice-president was telling everyone that he had agreed to resign, Thompson said it “may be a misunderstanding on Ron’s part”. L The chevron then contacted Hipfner< who affirmed that Thompson had agreed to resign “several times in the last month”. He added that Thompson had handed in his resignation in early June but there had bee’n no,action taken on it then. Hipfner then contacted Thompson, to remind him that he had earlier decided to, resign. \ Hipfner then-phoned the chevron with a changed position from Thompson. The president apparently had relented saying he hadstoM Hipfner of a decision toresign.‘He therefore re-affirmed that he would leave in the fall. He also consented to hand in a written resignation on Monday after consultation with the executive. He will decide thenwhether he intends to stay on his leave of absence. Another flip-flop occurred at the meeting of the executive last Thursday where they voted 5-2- 1 to “remain in office until the completion of their term.” In his statement to the> chevron, on July 4, Hipfner wrote that we- (the executive) are tendering our resignations effective the date a successor to Doug Thompson is elected in late September. But some of the executive say’ Hipfner didn’t consult them. Bruce Rorrison, chairperson of creative arts, says that if the executive resigns -.during orientation it “would only add to the confusion”. Don Orth, chairperson of co-op services, thinks that the executive should be responsible to council, not the president and is against what he calls the “If I go, we all go” attitude. . But Hipfner considers that a new president would be entitled to a new executive. Randy Barkman, co-chairperson of publications, sides with Hipfner, saying that the ,;-resignations would clean up the federation. _ Thompson-; Hipfner, and ’ Orth will still resig$n.

Up until Wednesday all the chevron knew of Thompson’s whereabouts was that according to Hipfner he was visiting a friend in Montreal: 0-n June 15 the Federation Board of Directors gave Thompson a six-week leave of abscence to deal with ‘-urgent personal ,problems’ ’ . _-ciaran -randy

New poiic~ for vi@ grads - -

Grad students who are in Canada on a student visa will have to visit the local immigration offices every term from now on, if they wish to be employed as teachingassistants. A new policy, announced recently by the UW graduate studies administration, stipulates that a grad student must obtain a separate work permit for each teaching assistantship that s/he holds. Inthe past, a foreign grad-student only needed to visit immigration once per year for a work permit. This permit allowed the st_udent to earn money by way of teaching assistantships with UW.

Feds ‘make declarations I Sunday’s council meeting failed to get quorum, but that didn’t stop it from sending provincial leaders a telegram to protest differential fees for foreign students and discussing motions approved by the fecent,Charlottetown conference of the National Union of Students (NUS). The telegram, drafted by fieldworker Morris Ilyniak, says international students are not a burden on the taxpayers or the economy of the province -and “Ontario has benefitted substantially from the infusion of educated and trained immigrants”.It also referred to the “cultural diversity enhanced by the presence of international students.” The telegram calls for the abolition of the’ differential fees. - At- the suggestion of several councillors, a paragraph will be added saying the protest will not end with the telegram.-The telegram will also be sent to Premier William Davis and local MPP-Herb Epp, rather than just to the opposition leaders as was originally planned. The meeting a.p,proved by straw vote NUS motions: _ -caTling on university administrations to accept their responsibilities as landlords when administering on-campus housing and to do all that they can to ensure the availabiiity of reasonably-priced and inhabitable housing for their students. -opposmg the proposed changes in the Unemployment Insurance Act that could increase the qualifying period in some areas from the current 8 weeks of work in thepast year to 12 weeks, saying instead, that the period should be decreased if it is necessary to allow for regional differences-in \ the unemployment rate. -that NUS members pressfor “open-door budget processes at their governing body levels, so that the extent and location of specific budget cutbacks can be assessed.” Information gathered should be sent to NUS. -that the purchase price of Canada Manpower Training Program courses at community colleges include student union fees so that these students can be represented. -oppose admissions tests and encourage research into the inadequacies .of such tests to predict students’ success in their programmes. -oppose the Mackenzie Valley Pipeline, support the Berger Report and “strongly urge” the government to accept its recommendations. -encourage NUS members to send bilingual delegates whenever possible. _i ‘.i-- . -jonathan coles -peter thqmpson

Despite the approval of examiners from outside the university, a chemical engineering masters stu-dent waited a full year before his ‘faculty reluctantly accepted his thesis and recommended him for his degree. . Early in 1976, Norm Williams, a student from Jamaica, submitted a first draft of his thesis to his supervisor, Dr. Wynnyckyj. Claiming that the thesis was incomplete, Wynnyckyj rejected it and asked that some of the experiments-be remodelled. Williams thought that he hadgiven. a good explanation and that Wynnyckyj had not read the paper carefully. On the advice of another professor, Williams had the paper typed and submitted to the chairman of the department for distribution to readers. Three of the four readers(including Wynnyckyj) requested major changes in the thesis. The fourth, Dr. Scott, found the thesis acceptable with minor changes, Wynnyckyj has stated that*the problem lay in “technical and numerical results -which were inconsistent”. He asked that certain experiments be repeated, and Williams refused. Williams claims that Wynnyckyj “just didn’t buy my ideas’ ’ . Williams objected to the chairman of the department, then Dr. O’Driscoll, and he was told that if her’satisfied one examiner 1 Dr. Robinson - then he would be recommended for a degree. According to Williams, Robinson agreed that-if the minor criticisms of -the first draft were corrected then he could “forget the harsher comments” of Wynnyckyj and the thesiswould be acceptable. Williams submitted a revised thesis to the department, and to his surprise was told that all oft he original tedders had rejected it as unacceptable. Robinson said that his -official comments on. the thesis were all {written and given to the student. When asked about anything he may have said. to Williams, Robinson stated that he “didn’t want to go on memory;” _

In July, 1976 the department officially rejected the thesis, and upon appeal to the Associate Dean of Graduate Studies in Engineering (Dr. Leipholtz), it was sent to three examiners in the United States, all experts in their-field. All three of the examiners accepted the thesis‘after some minor corrections. By this time, Williams had left Waterloo and the/conflict continued unknown to him. The case . was taken to the Engineering Graduate Studies Committee in the spring.’ Although objections were raised, the committee endorsed Williams’ thesis in a closed session. Williams has now-received his degree., Although Williams was not informed of the- meeting, Leipholtz maintains that the proceedings were: ‘legal” and “fair”. Wynnyckyj was not invited t%j keep the “emotion” -out of the hearing. The department still maintains that the thesis was unacceptable. . O‘Driscoll feels that the opinion of ’ those who are acquainted with the student’s work is of greater value than that of outside readers. He added that “acceptance or rejection of something, when it’s borderline, is’a hard job.‘: This is not the only case of a . thesis beingrejected by the chemical etrgineering department and -_ subsequently approved. by readers r in the United States.

PAC Complex will be completely closed from August 1 to August 19 for repairs and painting. No activity dther than e>gams will take place during this period.

National team trains at UW for World Games The Women’s National Basketball Team on Campus in the PAC is training for the Summer National Program. This program will feature Canada’s team competing in the FISU games, i.e. the World Student Games to be held in Sofia, Bulgaria. Combined with this major competition the girls will also do a two week tour in Bulgaria and Poland as a tune-up for these games. The team is working out twice a day in the PAC for ten days. The camp commenced on July 12,1977 and will be finished on July 21, 1977. They can be seen every afternoon from 2:00-4:00 p.m. under the guidance bf Don McCrae, University of Waterloo’s Men’s Basketball Coach, who is named the Women’s National Coach for four years. The girls on the team come f-rom across Canada. From Halifax, Nova Scotia, the tallest girl on the team at 6’6” is Debbie Steele. She is currently a student at St. Mary’s University. From ,New Brunswick comes Sylvia Blumenfeld. From Quebec the two girls are Sylvia Sweeney and Elizabeth Silcott, both members of Concordia University’s Women Basketball Team. Ontario has three girls named to the National team. They are Chris Critelli, from St. Catharines, and Michelle Belanger from Timmins. Both of these girls play at Laurentian University. Candy Clarkson comes from Ancaster High School and is the youngest member of the National team. She will play in the preliminary rounds but is not eligible for the World Student Games. From Manitoba comes three girls, two of whom play at the University of Winnipeg. They are Angie Johnson and Dori McPhail. Gail Winston is also a me’mber of the team and she comes from the University of Manitoba. British Columbia has three girls named to the National team. They are Beverly Bland, Holly Jackson and Gail Klaver. Both Beverly. Bland and Gail Klaver go to Simon Fraser University while Holly Jackson plays at Calgary.

Basketball

During the month of July the University of Waterloo and the Athletic Department in conjunction with the Waterloo County Board of Education are running the Athletic Enrichment Program at the PAC. The program runs from 9:00-l 1:30 a.m. and is followed by a one half hour swim. The participants in this program are generally students-from Senior Public School and some from Junior High. They are being instructed by teachers from the Waterloo County Board and the program is being assisted by the University of Waterloo’s Athletic Department. The main function of this camp which is a day camp is to provide opportunities for students to select activities, in this case basketball, so that they migh$ concentrate on the sport and develop some proficiency. The camp involves two two week situations. The first camp which will conclude on Friday, July 15, 1977 is the largest camp with approximately 75 to 80 participants. The following camp which will go for the last two weeks will be a somewhat smaller camp, in the order of 40 to 45 students.

A few words from the friendly local prosecutor The following is part of a conversation chevron editor Neil Docherty had with acting federal prosecutor Eric Hafeman following Doug Wahlsten’s court appearance /as t Friday. The charge against Wahlsten was withdrawn because the prosecution claimed much of its evidence was inadmissable (for full story see page 1). But in response to complaints about some of the treatment Wahlsten received, Hafeman defends the RCMP actions arguing that it is the only way for the police to get any evidence.

Hafeman: You guys are running around writing all this stuff and you don’t understand the basic administration of justice. Docherty: No, what we don’t understand is why someone can be taken to jail for 12 hours, not allowed to make a phone call, have his house ransacked, and then be told he’s done nothing wrong. Hafeman: People are sitting in jail for weeks on end for non-serious criminal cases while the police investigate. What do you expect them to do?

Not inf/uential

Dochetty: What I don’t expect, is for some person to be taken for 12 hours, refused a phone call, and have his house ransacked. I’m sorry, I get quite upset at that. Hafeman: You do! All right. What do you expect the police to do, just set this aside for a moment. Docherty: No, let’s deal specifically with this case. Hafeman: No I just want to give you an idea of theprocedure in criminal law and the criminal investigative process. What do you expect the police to do? You want them to protect you, and you want them to enforce the law. Now what do you expect them to do? - “Good morning Mr. Wahlsten, we’re here to investigate you, mind if we walk in?” Well? Docherty: Yes, that sounds reasonable to me. Hafemqn: It does? it does? Well my friend.. . Pocherty: So why don’t you explain to me what’s wrong with it.. . Hafeman: (emphatically) Well they’ll never get evidence on anything. Docberty: They don’t have anything theway they did j it anyway.

Hafeman: Of course they do. Docherty: Oh /they do.. . Hafeman: Of course they do. Docherty: Why the hell aren’t they prosecuting? Hafeman: Because it’s not admissable. e Docherty: Why? Why isn’t it admissable? Explain that to me. Hafeman: I, I did.. . Docherty: No, all you said is that the rules of evidence apply, and that it could be dirty laundry. But it isn’t dirty laundry. What is it? Is it books? Is it telephone tapes? Hafeman: Do you expect me to say that to you? You must be out of your mind. Docherty: No, I want to know what it is. You keep saying its inadmissable evidence. I’ve no idea what that is. Hafeman: Docherty: This Is it Hafeman:

Yeah, and you’re never going to know. So what’s going to happen with it now? inadmissable evidence.. . who keeps it? going to get burned, shredded. . .? That’s up to the police.

There is contempt- rather than admiration y f& his clever, diabolical scheme. Even-his mastery of disguise, electronics, markmanship and demolition do not make him lovable; The innocent deaths he causes are just too sickening. His own squishy demise serves as a permanent lesson to him and other mean charac- d ters like him. -lorne

its creation 9 pears ago. This causes one to wonder just what has caused the sudden change in their rJnusica1 direction. Perhaps ‘this album indicates to us that J.G.B. has been working themselves into a comer musically and were never really into their old style.. This i_s- hard to believe, especially if you’ve ever seen th?m iq concert. Peter Wolf (Faye Dunaway’s hubby) is an intelligent, wellread, artist (however rough he fray appear on stage). He spent three years on ‘scholarship at a school of fine arts in Boston, where the band originated.Perhaps he has felt stifled all along, and has finally found enough confidence to expound h’is range pf songwriting. I was tempted to label this as a sellout when I first heard it; but have sihce ‘decided this can’t be the sole reason for the switch, since there ddn’t seem to be any singles on it. Surely they realize that what following they do, have is strong, albeit not too large. For this reason, I wonder why they would risk losing some of’ their following by such a sud&,p *change of $yle. As a final comment, then, this album is definitely not typical of hG.B. as they have come to be known. If you are already a fan prepare yourself for the surprise. If dot, sit back with an open mind_ arid try to decide for yourself where the bahd is at musically, for this is the cause of some confusion in my mind at least. -doug
