What is this? University of Waterloo Waterloo, Ontario volume 78, number 73 august 23, I977
the chti-
This is the orientation issue of the chevron, UW’s student newspaper. It is primarily produced to be sent to the homes of those people coming to this university for the first time. So here it is. We hope you find it at times enjoyable and always interesting. Inside: news on the government’s latest loan scheme; some hints on how to survive in Waterloo; an article on some places to eat, and some places not to eat. The main feature is the centrespread article on the English Proficiency Exam which all first year Arts students must take in their first week at UW. It is written by someone on the inside of the scheme and exposes it as a fraud. Another feature on cutbacks is designed to orient you to the way the government is curtailing its funding of post-secondary education. The other main feature analyses the high cost of energy in Canada. The intramural sports schedule informs you when you can get your limbs in gear no matter what your ability. There is an entertainment section. Plus, all the frolic of an orientation organised by the Federation of Students can be found in a schedule in the back page advertisement. That’s it for this week. . . and for future weeks the chevron staff invites you to come in and help us put out UW’s student newspaper. Watch out for our first reaular issue of the term where we will explain how the chevron staff won a nine-month battle for basic democratic rights, and why there will be a presidential election and a referendum on the future of the federation this term.

Some hints on surviving-those Doug Hainilton a UW rookie last year joined the chevron and now
struts across the campus like a seasoned veteran. In tllis article he passes on some hints to try and relieve the bewilderment some may tee/ when they first set foot on VW soil.
Registration One of the first things you do when you arrive on campus is register. What this entails is the payment of your tuition and incidental fees. To register you must go to the upper gallery of the Physical Activities Complex, where the whole process is done, and go through the following procedure: If yowl don’t have a fee statement from the university there is an area where they will have yours waiting, the statements are divided up alphabetically and by faculty. So if you are Jim Brown in Environmental Studies you should go to the table with the sign that says “Environmental Studies A-L”. But fortunately most first year students receive their fee statement after they choose their courses in the summer. Next you take the fee statement and go to the tables where the fees are paid. Here yocl present the people with a certified cheque, covering the entire amount, and they will note the payment and give YOLI a slip to be turned in when you ask for your Student Card. If you have received a loan a’nd perhaps a grant from the gqvernment (OSAPI, then you should also go to the tables that are set up in the same area and pick up the loan portion of your award. If YOLI were given a grant by the government you will not receive it til January. Both the tables for fee payment and student awards are set up in alphabeti,cal rows, A-H, I-N, etc. Now’ yqu’re almost finished registering. All you do now is pick up your l.D. card from the correct table. This card is very important since it allows you to borrow books from the library, go to social ev’ents at student rates, use the gym facilities and the pub. But it’s very important that you register during the allotted time, September 6-9, or else you are liable for late penalties of $10 the first day late, and $5 each following up to a limit of $25.

and changes
dissapprove the change. Often they will ask that you get the prof to sign your timetable allowing you to take the class. After your course change has been made you get a new timetable with the change noted on it. It is important that ydu make any changes quickly since the later you leave it the more likely it is that you will be refused. Also there is a specific amount of time that you can make changes to the timetable. This year the time for the fall term is from September 12-30, and from January 3-20 for the winter term,
first weeks
(Jan. -
that run for just this term Apr.).
If you find that you need to buy furniture, a quick survey has

furniture
If you are one of the many who don’t make it into a place where meals are served and must fend for -yourself, then you will have to do some shopping. There is no shortage of places to buy groceries in the K-W area. The student out on the hunt for food has his choice of variety stores, fas t-fodd chains, supermarkets, and even the K&hener and Waterloo Farmer’s Markets. Variety stores are the best to shop for just a few items, but overall are too expensive. For real nourishment you should frequent the supermarkets and Farmer’s Markets. A person can, by shopping at these places, get enough food for a week for less than $22, on the average.

Every
involved
One of the best things to do when you. arrive is to get involved in some part of the campus activities. Get ahold of the Information Handbook and brouse the clubs and organizations for anything that interests you, watch the chevron for ads about meetings, take part in the varsity or intramural spbrts, and even volunteer your help with different projects run by the Federation and other groups. -cloug

Realistically
At your first lecture the prof will probably tell you what books you need for the course. The administration runs a bookstore in South Campus Hall which the faculty order their materials through, so you are almost guaranteed that the books you need will be available here. But a good idea would be to - check bulletin boards around campus to see if anyone is selling books you need, or to look at the Used ‘Bookstore in the Campus Centre, run by the Federation of Students, lest there be a bargain or two sitting on the shelf. Incidentally, if you still have to go to the bookstore make sure that you have plenty of time to spend, because long lineups are the order of the day during the first weeks of the term.
Lectures
to make a course change. A course change entails going to your faculty advisor (check the handbook put out by the Federation of Students) and consulting the master lists they have available. Using these master lists and a course calendar you look for the courses that fit into your timetable and are not yet filled. The lists carry the information that you need, times class is helci, total class will hold, total currently enrolled, and the profs name. After you have picked the new courses _you go ad._ato your‘faculty

One thing you will notice when you start going to- lectures is the lack of an over-all policy on attendance. Most often profs will set the stands for attendance, and these stands vary greatly. Usually the reason for this is that most classes have too many students to easily keep track of. Tfie bulk of classes are from 8: 30 a.m. - 6: 30 p.m. and at night from 7 p.m. on. If you find that some of the classes you originally chose are not what you thought they would be, or that you don’t have some of the background for them, you will want

Several organizations, including ZANU . attemDts. were also made to Protest leaders, as a gesture of goodwill, minority rule by non-iiolent but’ his first demand was that means. All these failed. When ZANU was formed in 1.963 ZANU agree to a’ceasefire before any talks took place. ’ it Proclaimed from the first that Z1\NU; however, was not de%e are our own liberators!” and ceived, and continued to fight for . set out to liberate Zimbabwe liberation as it negotiated.

Detente fell through as ZANU continued its armed struggle. Chidoda said ZANU, with its f&e of 5,000 members and 25,000 new recruits, formed a tactical alliance with ‘another liberation organization called Zimbabwe Africari People’s Union (ZAPU), which had a force of 500. This alliance allowed ZANLA to obtain arms form the Organizatiqn of African Unity (OAU). ZANU’s recruits atie mainly youth. Thousands have run away from school to join the struggle. Today m&q schools in Zimbabwe are closed because they have no pupils.. Chidoda described the election called by Smith for August 3 1 as yetanother desperate tactic to avoid destruction. Leaders of some Zimbabwe.people’s organizations have called for “one man - one vote”, which Smith has rejected. Chidoda explained that ‘ZA1y U also rejects this reform because it believks that under the circumstances, voting along “one man one vote” guidelines sanctions the present system. &NU believes in “one man one gun” as the only yay to overthrow [the racist system in Rhodesia; he said. Chidoda told the .audietice that the war on the ground by ZANLA forces has been won. The Smith forces now, control only the air, with ZANLA having liberated 42 districts. He concluded his speech by thinking the Canadian people for their support. He said “ZANU’s victory is your victory”, and’ explained that this is because the tie peoples face a common enemy, the capitalist system of exploitation. - More than $250 was raised by the audience, to be forwarded to the Zimbabwe people liv_i_ng in refugee :8mps outside of their country.

U.S. . imperialist domination emerges upon examining the production, consumption and prices of natural gas in Canada. For many years, large amountsof natural gas were burned off at-oil wells as a was;te product; and when a big push was made to convince the.Canadian people to heat their homes with natural gas instead of oil, one of the main arguments advanced by the monopolies was that natural gas was much less expensive. . B&when the oil monopolies began-to increase the price of oil and gasoline in leaps and bounds, they raised the price of natural gas by virtually the same amounts. .As far as natural gas is concerned, the oil monopolies cannot even use the excuse of higher priced imports, for Canada does’not import any natural gas at all. The oil monopolies have simply made windfall profits through the increase in the price of naturalgas ’ by tying it to the price of home heating oil. There is absolutely no justification for this price increase otherwise.

You -pay more When you put your money on the table to pay this year’s tuition you’ll be paying $50 a term more than students did last yea1 thanks to the Ontario Government. But this is not the end, or even the beginning of the phenomenon known as The Cutbacks. Over the past year the chevron and other organisations have researched this issue and have gained much insight into why the government is cutting back and what it has planned for us in the future. The most revealing government document on this matter is the Report on the Special Program Review, also known as the McKeough-Henderson Report. The Review was set up in 1975 “to enquire into ways and means of restraining the costs of government”. On post-secondary. education the report expresses the concern that “because of market forces and an over-supply of graduates in some disciplines, the economic benefits of post-secondary education to certain individuals are no longer assured.” Obviously they are referring to the economic crisis. With an eight per cent jobless rate in Canada many students will graduate into the unemployment line. A chevron survey of graduating students in May revealed that 23 per cent of those not returning for post-graduate work did not have jobs. And even among those who had found work 30 per cent had jobs that were only part-time or temporary, or not commensurate with their degree. The government apparently doesn’t see the problem as a shortage ofjobs, but rathel as an “over-supply” of graduating students. It attributes this “over-supply” to its po.licy over the past decade of giving the universities a fixed grant per student, which it says “has had the effect of encouraging recruitment of students and permitting maximum use of available facilities.” The report documents this well. It shows that enrollment more than doubled in universities between 1966 and 1975, and in community colleges it more than doubled between 1970 and 1974. The “participation rate”, the portion of the population between 18 and 24 which receives postsecondary education rose to 19.6 per cent in 74-75 from 10 per cent in 66-67. But now government and big business don’t need us any more and the report obediently recommends that the government give no further support to increases in enrollment. This was implemented earlier this year. Instead of receiving a grant of one BIU (Basic Income Unit) for each student, with no limit on the total number, UW will receive the full grant only for the first 14,600 students (the average enrollment over the past three years) and half for each one after that. Furthermore, the report recommends that tuition pay a greater portion of education costs: they recommend a 65 per cent increase. They concede that this is steep, however, suggesting it could be phased-in over a period of three or four years. The first installment of th$s increase, 16 per cent, which students are paying this year, was announced last November by Harry Parrott, Minister of Colleges and Universities. In January the chevron cutbacks bureau published an open letter to the Minister refuting his claim that the fee increase was necessary and justified. It read in part: “You seem to think that we should be content with only a $100 tuition increase. You argue that the hike, the first in five years, will amount to only a 3.2 per cent increase spread over the years 1972 to 1977 compared to the 8.1 per cent average rate of inflation over the same time period. Students beginning university this year do not particularly care what tuition was several years ago. Many students are concerned that they can barely afford an education now and that a $100 increase will only make things worse. As we pointed out earlier, all the other costs of education have risen greatly, so adding another tuition increase onto these will add insult to injury for all but the rich students. For the sake of argument, however, we will examine your contention that an increase is justified because a 3.2 per cent increase is less than the inflation rate of 8.1 ijer cent. Let us start zth the year 1971, which is the base year now used by Statistics Canada for computing inflation. Tuition at UW then was $510, and now it is $625, which is an increase of 22 per cent. Your proposed tui-
ibr kss
as gov’it
tion of $725 would amount to an inflation of tuition cost by 42 per cent since 1971, or an increase of 26 per cent above current levels. Next, consider the current-CPI for somefamiliar commodities. We find that both new cars and children’s clothing are about 23 per cent more expensive today than in 197 1, compared to an increase of 52 per cent for all items comprising the index. Following your logic, we should not complain if cars and kiddie clothes were to suddenly go up 16 per cent because they were such a’ ’ ’ bargain’ ’ in the past. Take also the cases of women’s hosiery and TV sets, both of which have declined in price since 1971. Do you expect us to picket the shopping centres to protest that these prices are too low‘? Mr. Parrott, your whole argument is absurd. We are fully entitled to oppose each and every increase in the costs of living, including those of education. And we don’t buy your plea that tuition only pays for 14 per cent of the costs of education. For one thing, a substantial portion of the university budget goeS to faculty research and services provided to businesses and the surrounding community. We estimate that these activities account for about one third of the university operating budget, and we don’t believe that students should have to pay for them. The average university expenditure for one undergraduate Arts student is $2312 (one BIU) plus $625 (Arts tuition) equals $2937. Two thirds of this figure is $1958, so we find that tuition actually amounts to about 32 per cent of the Arts education budget. Adding to this the costs of food, housing, books, etc., the to.tal costs of an Arts undergraduate education is roughly $4400 per year. The most destitute student from the poorest family would pay only the $1000 loan portion or 23 per cent of the total costs. ‘However, a student who did not qualify for a grant would pay 74 per cent of the total costs. Thus, your way of presenting the facts obscures the true extent to which most students must pay their own way through university already. Finally, we’ question why students from families that are genuinely rich should have any of their education paid for by the people’s taxes. We suggest that those who can afford it be assessed tuition of $2937. For them, a $100 increase is not nearly enough. You go on to argue that the portion paid by tuition has fallen from 17 per cent in 1972 to 14.4 per cent in 1976. True to form, you also conveniently ignore the fact that we are getting less for our tuition dollar today than we did in 1972. At UW there were abou’t 14.6 students p&r faculty member in 1970-71. However, advanced students require much more attention from professors than general undergraduate students, and a certain proportion of the faculty are away on sabbaticals or are involved in administrative duties, so the actual teaching load is given by the full-time equivalent (FTE) students per net FTE fa-
tightens
culty, which in 1970-71 was 15.0 students per faculty (see Graph). By 1975-76, this index had risen 23 per cent ,to 18.4 students per teacher, and we estimate that it is now nearly 20.0. Turn this calculation around, and we find that an individual student, on the average, can claim 25 per cent less of a faculty member’s time at UW today than in 1970-71. This is reflected in larger classes and more lecture classes instead of seminars and labs. We completely reject the bogus argument that the proportion of the costs of education paid for by the student has declined because tuition has not kept pace with inflation.” But the government doesn’t believe you should pay the whole shot. Parrott said last November “We believe the increased costs faced by universities and colleges should be borne in part by the students who use them and in part by the taxpayer.” Parrott did not explain the nature of th’ese increased costs. They are simply caused by inflation, increases in the costs of existing services. The level of operations at UW certainly hasn’t increased. In fact, there has been no increase in teaching faculty since 1971, despite an increase in enrollment, and there has been no construction on campus since 1972. And you can’t even blame faculty salaries for increased costs - in real terms they have declined over the past five years. The chevron cutbacks bureau also dealt with this matter of inflation in their letter: “Now we ask you: Do students contribute to this inflation? No way! Students are the victims of higher prices. The costs of living in university residences have increased by about 58 per cent since 1970-71. Prices of books, transportation and cultu,ral activities have gone up substantially, and even tuition is 22 per cent higher than it was in 1970-71. AS a matter of principle, we believe it is just that those who are causing inflation or even benefitting from it should pay the costs. Students in no way cause inflation, and they must not be required to bear the burden. Again, we say No! to a tuition increase. Instead, we must investigate who is causing inflation and make them pay for it, You say that the increased costs of education should be “borne in part by the taxpayer’ ’ . Fine, but who are these taxpayers? Let’s look at the facts. . . . Way back in 195 1, the corporations actually paid more than individuals, but in the ensuing years individuals paid about twice as much, and after 1967 they paid three times as much taxes as corporations. This difference will increase as a consequence of the $160 million tax reduction for corporations announced November 23 by Treasury Minister McKeough. Thus, your “taxpayer” is comprised primarily of the working people of Ontario. Do these people cause inflation? No, they are victims of inflation as much as are stu-

The basis of cutbacks over the past six or seven years is shown in the above graphs enrollment has increased while faculty numbers have remained fair/y constant and government support has been sever/y reduced. The Basic Income Unit is part of the government’s funding formula for universities. One Arts undergrad brings in one B/U ($23 72 last year). The amount varies for other faculties. The money for construction comes from the Ontario University Capital Aid Corporation, a government agency.

dents. For them, it is a constant struggle just to keep pace with rising costs of living. Part of these rising costs are in fact taxes and other sources of government expenditure, which in the year 1975 accounted for 49.5 per cent of the Gross National Expenditure in Canada, compared with 30.2 per cent in 1960 and 18.5 per cent in 1950. Taxes on working people are much too high already. They must not be increased in order to pay for inflated education costs. Students and working people do not cause inflation. That leaves only the rich. They own nearly everything in this country. Their companies benefit greatly from the youth educated in Ontario at a minimal cost to them in taxes. It is their economic system which is the root cause of inflation, so they should pay for it. Furthermore, the rich can afford to pay. We say: Make the rich pay for the “increased costs” of university education.” Despite these cutbacks ihe government claims it has not changed, in Parrott’s words, its “committment to ensure that students’ access to post-secondary education is not limited by their financial circumstances.” ’ This committment is rather difficult to find. The -major student assistance scheme, OSAP, assesses the student’s financial resources dn the basis of assumed amounts of summer earnings and parental contribution. But if you get no summer job or a low-' paying one, or if your parents do not or cannot give you money, you are out in the cold. The best any appeal for further assistance can get you is an additional loan. The government has plans in the works for changes in student aid, but they are not for tile better. The Henderson Report recommended that the present loan and grant scheme eventually be replaced by an allloan scheme. As a first step it recommended that the maximum provincial grant be reduced to .$2200 from $3200 and the loan ceiling, the minimum loan required in order to receive grants, be’ increased to $1800 from $800. The government only partly implemented this, raising the loan ceiling to $1000 in 1976. This year it made very few changes, mainly increases in the living allowances. However, efforts on the long-term goal of an all-loan plan are well under way. The Interim Committee on Financial Assistance for Students in a report released in February, proposed an aid plan it called the Optional Loan and Need-tested Grant program (OLANG). Under OLANG the student would receive a grant based on educational costs and reduced according to parental income and personal resources. The student could borrow the difference between the educational costs and the grant. However, if your parents’ net income is over $10,000 you wouldn’t get a grant unless you were in an unusually long or expensive program. Also, the loans under OLANG would cost you more. You would pay interest right from when you sign on the dotted line. Under OSAP the government ‘pays the interest until six months after you finish or ended your studies. The interest charges would be countered as part of your allowable costs in the calculation of your grant, but if you didn’t qualify for a grant they would just compound your debt. The student aid picture is ambiguous at this time. In April Universities and Colleges minister Harry Parrott indicated that the government might not be able to afford the new scheme because the loan money would come from provincial coffers rather than through the federal government’s Canada Student Loans plan, as is the-case under OSAP. He also expressed reservations about making loans available to everybody. “The more you think about it, the more YOU come back to the present system with changes”, he said. Since then he has been tight-lipped, saying only that he would announce “major changes” in September. Given the present trends one should not be too optimistic., Preliminary figures show the total enrollment in Ontario Universities down six per cent from last year, and here at UW it is down 2.3 per cent. However, ministry officials expect final figures to be about the same as last year. -jonathan coles
English p The chevron is publishing this important article written by a student on the inside of the proficiency programme because it makes some important points about the testing movement. For example - a) Not one shred of evidence exists which shows that students’ writing abilities have declined compared to previous years; b) The testing programme at UW was hastily conceived and implemented. c) The test items and criteria for passing are of dubious validity. d) Students who “fail” the exam must take tutoring in English, not as part of their university education, but as an additional burden on top of an already heavy course load. e) The English proficiency requirement is imposed even if the student can complete all regular courses successfully. f) There is already widespread disagreement with the results of proficiency testing in academic circles. In an editorial on June 10, 1977 the chevron staff declared that it would take a serious look at this “proficiency” programme. Today’s feature article is only part of our scrutiny of this testing scheme. In the academic year 1977-78, for the first time in 10 years, Ontario universities will not receive full government grants for increased undergraduate enrolments. It is obvious to us that the government wants to restrict the number of educated youth and make existing education more “efficient”. Clearly, the English language proficiency programme is an integral part of this campaign to make students bear the burden of the economic crisis which has resulted in a lack of jobs for graduates. We will look further into cutbacks and the relation programme and the cutbacks cles.
the education of the testing in future arti-
Arts students coming to the University for the first time this September will find that the old high school diploma ain’t what it used to be. It used to be true that if you get accepted by a university, and if you passed the necessary credit courses, you would be given a pat on the head and a degree and be sent off smiling and verifiably edgecated - but not any more. The English Language Proficiency Programme, which “grew out of a concern with an apparent increase in the nuinber of students who experience difficulty in satisfactorily completing writing assignments in their university courses”, has changed all that. Just because you’ve managed to make it throagh high school, and just because you manage to pass your university courses dQesn’t mean YOLI get your B.A. anymore, You’ve also got to pass the profi, ciency exam. Nor would it be wise to think that good grades in high school Erlglish will help you very much, since the correlation !a\~ year between High School marks
and the marks on the proficiency exam was really quite low. So what does it all mean? How is it that you, the new students of 1977, have been chosen fol- this’? What will it mean for the coming year? This article is intended to introduce you to the programme, its history, its operation and its implications. Its hard to say exactly when the “apparent increase” in poor writing actually became “apparent” . According to a report released this summer by Ken Ledbetter ( University of Waterloo Proficiency Programme Administrator) public discussion has assumed that the deficiency became apparent “during the past few years”, and a 1976 study produced at Queen’s University cites instances of concern going back as far as 1975. The implication seems to be that crummy writing is a recent weed nipped fortunately, in the bud by vigilant university faculty. Is that truly the case? Just a little research reveals that the Americans thought of the idea at least a year before the Canadian academics did, and a little more research shows that people have been lamenting the decline of writing skills for so long it’s remarkable that students can still sign their names. In fact it’s arguable that proficiency testing over the years indicates students are getting better at writing, because 27 years ago 65 per cent of the students who wrote a proficiency exam at the University of Toronto fhlnked it, whereas last year only 44 per cent of Waterloo students blew the exam. At any rate, the clamour that went on in the press, first in the U.S. then in Canada, brought about a lot of proficiency exams administered by a lot of universities. At Waterloo the first such test was actually administered in 1975 by a team of researchers working for the Ontario Government but the results were not released at that time. The first step in getting a proficiency programme underway at Waterloo came in the spring of 1975 when English Professor Joe Gold, who had been expressing similar desires as early as 1972, moved in the Arts Faculty Council (AFC) to make five years of high school English an Arts entrance requirement by 1979. The motion was amended to provide for a proficiency exam and compulsory non-credit tutoring fol those who failed. Implementation was proposed for 1979. Unlike Gold’s earlier motions the amended motion carried, and action was taken with amazing speed. A subcommittee of the Undergraduate Affairs Group t UGAG) was quickly established to undertake immediate action and report back in a few

months. The subcommittee did indeed report back to AFC in November 1975. They reported that there was no point in instituting diagnostic tests, since such test\ had already been gi\ en earlier that year (remember the Go\,ernment \tudy’l). They also suggested. sensibly. that high schools be urged to emphasise English and that the Dean’s office be prepared to help students whq hai.e writing problems to seek tutoring. The report was not
I
what AFC wanted to hear, however, and they gave it back to the subcommittee for re\,iew and rewording. The subcommittee, on the other hand. felt they had no more to say and simply handed it back to Council again in December with a request Ibr clarification. Council at that time decided to accept the report and to set up a task force ‘sfo~- the purpose of studying and making recommendations to Council” about implementing an English Ianguage proficiency standard. The task force. as it turns out. chose to aher its mandate from “studying and making recommendat ions” to “developing an English idanguage Proficiency ProgrammeXor all undergraduate students in the Faculty of Arts”. and, in a surprisingly short time (5 months), came up with the programme essentially as it now exists. By May of 1976 the taik force requested and obtained from Council permission to implement the programme the following September. Gone was the 1979 recommended implementation in the original f;aculty Council mo-

&es the Proficiency Programme encourage you as students’ . ! IS it designed to help you at university? Anyone who thinks at all must agree that forcing an exam onto new students on their first day at school and casting doubts on the validity of their high school work is a discouragement. Further, the action is clearly contrary to the recommendat ions made by the Ontario Cont‘ederation of University Faculty Associations IOCUFA) in their June 1977 brief to the Ontario Council on Uni\.ersity Affairs (OCUA). In that brief they point out that various studies and reports on the matter warrant no firm conclusions and that the imcomplete and anecdotal evidence that is available does not constitute a good basis for policy-making. L It would in our view be premature, and probably unfair to many potential university students. to suppose that there are grave deficiencies in current secondary school CIII-ricula or in university admission standards.

The truth is that discouragement suit that the Prot?ciency Programme dence, he said to have.

Both the OC U FA brief and the actual OC U A annual report recognize that “it is important to distinguish between changes in academic standards that might occur for academic reasons and those that flow in the wake of enrolment numbers that approach system capacity.” (OCUA page 14). It is precisely this distinction which the Proficiency Programme fails to make since the academic assumptions on which it is based are ofdubious validity, to say the least, and the certain discouragement which it provides (especially to those who come from homes where middle class English is not the norm) can be seen to serve the ends of bureaucrats confronted with incentives to curtail growth and, in fact, incentives to decrease the number of students. Some of you already confronted with the other aspects of education cutbacks - increasing tuition, less professor time, greater student debt - will find that changing standards and the increased work load will make your new life at university less pleasant than it might have been. Those of you who depend on part-time work to stay in school may find that the hours taken from your schedule will make life downright impoverished. Others, who pass the exam easily, will be relatively little affected by the programme: but if all of you unite to oppose the cutbacks. this attack on sttrdents can be turned.

OPIRG and Students in the ommunity Meet Peggy Nickels, 4th year Man Environment student. During the past year, Peggy helped write Quicksilver & Slow Death, a study of mercury pollution in N. W. Ontario. She authored A Consumers’ Food Guide - a consumer education pamphlet.
the corner
Is the Air Fit To Breathe? - a’ pamphlet on an occupational health hazard, silicosis - is a good example of the work students can produce through OPIRG. Written by Bruce Ralph and Dave Gilmore, Environmental Science students, with OPIRG supervision, it was researched and produced to meet the specific needs of a local labour union. The Ontario Public Interest Research Group is a Studentfunded (through the voluntary OPIRG fee), student-directed public interest research and education organization. Peggy, Bruce, and Ralph have worked through OPIRG to make their undergraduate work relevant outside the university community. Public interest research investigates areas of public concern to find practical solutions to real problems. In a time of increasingly centralized government and corporate power and wealth, there is a decided need for independent researchers who are ready to ask some tough questions and to dig for answers, rather than to just sit back and accept the way things are. Whether your interest and talents lie in background research, investigative work, popular education, public speaking, writing, production, or organization, there is an opportunity, through OPIRG, to put those skills to work both inside and outside this academic community. Some of the areas that OPIRG-Waterloo and the chapters on other campuses have been involved with in the past year are: the publication of Quicksilver & Slow Death, a study of mercury pollution in Northwestern Ontario; a corporate profile, Reed International - profile of a transnational corporation - a company with a particularly bad pollution record in N. W. Ontario; an anti-mercury pollution campaign resulting from the research on these two publications; a summary of the first volume of the Berger Commission report on the Mackenzie Valley Pipeline Inquiry; a brief to an Environmental Assessment Board hearing on a disposal well near Hamilton; a discussion paper on the proposed dam site near West Montrose; a resource guide for food studies; a re-print of The Weston Group of Companies. Following are the priority project areas for 1977-78. Occupational Health and Safety. Students will research and write publications such as Is the Air Fit to Breathe?, as well as other specific materials necessary to labour’s struggle for a safe and helathy workplace. Food and the Food Industry. Among topics of concern for OPIRG are the effects of corporate concentration in the food industry, the quality of food, and nutrition information for new mothers. Freedom of Access to Government Information. OPIRG has been gathering information on the issues surrounding freedom of information. Our campaign for legislation guaranteeing access to government information began with the FOI Documentation Centre. Students can document specific cases of denial of information and help campaign for better legislation. Board of Directors. The OPIRG Board of Directors, which is elected from the student body, sets project priorjties and oversees the operations of the organization. Duties can vary widely depending on your available time and committment, but what is required is an interest in the organization and the direction it is heading. Elections will be held in late October to fill 5 vacant positions on the Board. We encourage anyobe who is interested in running for the Board to come and see us soon and to attend our province-wide fall Congress in mid-October to get a better understanding og the organization. Ontario North To-day. The Canadian Association in Support of Native People (CASNP) is sponsoring a province-wide tour this fall to publicize the situation of northern development and native peoples. In Waterloo, this tour, called Ontario North To-day, is being assisted by OPIRG, Global Community Centre, labour councils, etc. If you would like to help organize the events leading up to the tour, please call or visit us. We need to set up interviews, booths, speaking events, advertising, etc. Popular Education Teams. Student teams will take a specific public issue and design and implement a popular education programme for that iopic. This might include workshops, film/speaker event, pamphlets, etc. as best meet community needs.. Topics might in&de the Reed expansion issue/Hartt Commission, land-use, the Mackenzie Valley Pipeline, nuclear energy or many more. If you want to get involved with OPIRG, or want to know more about what we do, or want information about these and other areas, come and see us or phone. We are generally open from 9:00 to 4:00, Monday to Friday.

Our stock characters encounter stock situations: the happy,-golucky thief, popular with the men, romances the beautiful widow who has caught the eye of the commandant, a jealous disciplinarian who develops hostile feelings for the recruit as a result.

Meanwhile the comman-

The ruthless Arab chieftain (surprisingly well carried, considering the script, by Ian Helm) launches a surprise attack on the Legionnaires for the climax, giving Hackman the chance to do a stirring impersonation of Alec Guinness in “Bridge on the River Kwai” . The final scene is the ultimate in stock schlock, as totally ludicrous an ending as one could’hope for (Guess who’s the new commandant? And guess which old commandant he’s modelled himself after?) The result of all this is a film which looks tailor-made for the late show. Catherine Deneuve shows remarkable perception when she states midway through the film, “I seem to fit in perfectly .” Everything fits in perfectly, Catherine. Perfectly boringly. -Steve

Emmylou sounds good With her newest album, “Luxury Liner”, Emmylou Harris continues to develop the style she has established with her two previous recordings. She sings her own blend of folk-rock style of more famous singers such as Linda Ronstadt. However, while Ronstadt strikes with the power of her vocals, it is the purity of Harris’ voice and the subtle way she understates the lyrics that make her singing memorable. The highlights .of this album are of different styles: the countryrock ballad, “Pancho and Lefty”, Gram Parsons’- “She”, and two tramdit-ional. country numbers, “When I Stop Drear&i’ ’ , featuring Dolly Parton’s harmony vocal, and a 1938 A. P. Carter tune, “Hello Stranger”. It is to her credit that Harris can bring these elements together in an album that has unity and coherence. “Luxury Liner” isn’t as good a record as Harris’ previous one, “Elite Hotel” i but there certainly isn’t anything to complain about. The voice that showed such promise with Gram Parsons in 1973 has come into its own. In the words of Parsons himself: “Oh, but she sure could sing.”

This is a paper which defends the basic interest of students. That means when Trudeau told studen/ts to leave the country if they couldn’t find jobs we ran an editorial telling Trudeau he should go to Hell! - This summer a big landlord evicted a student from a modest townhouse. The snag was the student had just taken the landlord to the rent review board: this combined with the Landlord’s lame excuse that he wanted the student out so he could leave his $300,000 mansion to take up residence in the townhouse, made the incident a crusade for the chevron. It was the chevron which raised the questions over the Student Federation paying Kitchener mayor and lawyer Morley Rosenburg $25 a minute for his legal services. We are a major protagonist against the government’s cutbacks in education spendb ing. And as can be seen from this paper we are-opposed to students being attacked with the English Proficiency bxams. All of these stories and
others reflect the hard-nosed attitude we have developed of journalism based on a thorough investigation of the facts. The chevron is an active student voice and the most active student centre on campus. It is an exciting place where a nine-month battle for basic democratic rights was fought and won (more on that next issue). So with that said the chevron staff invites you to come on down to the office in the Campus Centre, room 140 and help put out a leading student newspaper. Don’t worry if you think you don’t have the skills: we% train you. We need writers -all kinds of them news, features, entertainment; ’ sports: we need photographers, graphicists, people to edit copy, people to think up heads that fit the space and fit the story: we need people to file, to type, and to do a lot of other important work. So please - Watch Your toes in the rush but get on down to the chevron.

Positions open on the chevron _-

Member: Canadian university press (CUP). The chevron is typeset by members of the workers’ uniorr of dumont press graphix and published by the federation of students incorporated, university of Waterloo. Content is the sole responsibility of the chevron editorial staff. Offices are located in the campus Centre; (519) 885-l 660, or university local 2331.
This paper is the most historic piece of memorabilia that you could ever hope to possess. Yes friends this is the last issue of the chevron that I, doug hamilton will ever physically work on. Yes folks, the last, end of the line. I’m cashing in my chips and going on the lam for a year or two. The very same kid who started working for this paper just one year ago is now leaving for the vast unknown. But that’s not to say that I haven’t crammed quite a bit of living into that one year. When I first got here my intentions were to get good grades, work a bit for the paper, and.just survive the next four years. That lasted about a month, until I saw the chevron beingclosed for reasons I couldn’t quite comprehend. But because of the closure and the birth of the free chevron, I quickly became enthralled in the situation. It would take some time for me to explain the entire conflict, and even then the explanation would still be my version, coloured by my bias. Yet this whole experience has, I hope, helped all of us become better people. There are a lot of moments I will look back on with a smile, just as there are certain things that I have seen and heard that- have left me dissillusioned and saddened. But that is like any other thing that you do during life. So I guess that the thing to do is take the nice things, like the party-till-dawn-crowd, Married to a Warthog Blues, the Erb St. collective, office baseball and soccer, and keep them as the good times they were. And to take the other things like, fighting at CUP conferences, the hassles while being a council member, political falling-outs with friends, federation harassment, and learn from them. So I feel that since I know my record at keeping in touch with people that I should thank the following persons in particular. And they are being thanked in public because they are all great people whom I don’t expect to find any replacements for. William Randolph Barkman‘who is one of the most amazing persons I’ve met in quite some time. Thomas John Cody, alias the bimbo, a basketball with mustache, codine, and cody. Lorne Gershuny, a person with an interesting pre-occupation with graphs and the legal system. Neil Docherty, now the editor of the chevron and always a good person to see if you have a problem, unless it’s an article.past the deadline, Henry Hess, the second person I met at UW and who has since gone to the big leagues. Salah Bachir who is even starting to lose a bit of heft. Heather Robertson who is now working hard in a job that has nothing to do with her field of study. J.W. Grajower is the only person I can think of who has a completely logical argument to prove that the chicken came before the cart (an inside joke). Dave Carter, who would always listen when I asked him what was happening with his life and never tell him what was going on in mine. And Val Moghadam to whom I owe several debts of kindness and charity, not to mention the remainder of an old bet. But at least I never told her that what she called Iranian cuisine is exactly the same as some dishes that my mother has been making my family for some time now, and she’s never been further east than Fort Louisburg. Reading back on what I’ve written I see it’s not as funny as I would like it to be, but then leaving isn’t all a lot of jokes. So now let’s get on with the business at hand and thank the people who came down to hetp put this tabloid out: randy barkman, Sylvia hannigan,. doug wahlsten, salah bachir, neil docherty, jonathan coles, Wendell fields, peter blunden, jules grajower, don martin, Steve hull, gerard krmmons, larry hannant, mark (back from chapel hill) schafroth, and mark mcguire (watch for some of his stuff in the handbook, he finally got something published). -hamilton
