The calendar does, of course, state that the federation of students fee is $13:75 per term, but it does not meet with Proudfoots demand that it specify the fee is mandatory. The chevron asked UW secretary Jack Brown for a copy of the minutes where the board of governors first stated that the federation fee was mandatory.

Chevron twesents detdiled dase Secret meetings, lock chanies, police involvement, no opportunity for defence and a mountain of unsubstantiated charges are what marked the closure of this newspaper last September, the chevron investigation commission was told this week, when it heard the first two instalments of the chevron stafr s case. In long, detailed presentations Monday and Thursday, chevron delegation of Jules Grajower, Gerard Kimmons and Neil Docherty presented the chevron staff position on the details of the closure of the newspaper last September. Grajower explained to the commissidners that in presentations throughout the next two weeks the chevron will address the first two parts of the commission’s threepart mandate - the reasons for the closure and the legality and propriety of it. The third part - the future set-up for the paper and its relation to the federation will be dealt with at a later date he said. The chevron presentation is split into what actually happened, and why it happened, and the first section is split into the Anti, democratic procedure of the closure, and the violation of the constitution. So in great detail the chevron delegation went over the events of last September, startirrg with the federation executive meeting of September 24 when then president Shane Roberts and six of his appointees decided to have the locks changed on the chevron offices. It was pointed out that this was a secret meeting. There was no notice of it, and the chevron staff in their offices underneath the federation headquarterswere not aware of what was going on. To prove this point the chevron produced the minutes of that staff meeting. There is nothing in the minutes to indicate that the staff knew what was going on. On an eight-item agenda Adrian @iway’s resignation was number three. The minutes, however, do indicate that there was no panic among the staff about the editor leaving. The meeting continued after Rodway had announced his resignation “for personal reasons” and went

on to deal with the next item - a comic strip. The point was a&o made that the minutes show no sign of paranoia toward the federation on the part of the chevron staff, which former Board of Publications Chairperson Ralph Torrie claimed existed when he testified to the commission. The minutes of the executive meeting of that day also came under close scrutiny. According to them the meeting was called because Rodway and Torrie had resigned that day and in so doing created a crisis on the paper. A key statement of the minutes, however, is that the executive was called on to deal with the “possible implications” oft hese events. Grajower told the commission that this very statement in the minutes further the antiexposed democratic nature of the chevron closing; done not on the basis of hard evidence but on “possible implications” . The statement accompanying the minutes had the same weakness. In it the executive admitted that it was acting on “rumour” and “allegation”. Yet on the basis of these “possible implications”, “rumours” and “allegations” the executive closed the chevron, issued notice to discharge two staff members, called an emeigency staff meeting, and started plans for an editorial board for the paper. The staff locked out on Sept 24 did not even learn of the closure until the next day, when a staffer was informed by a cleaner and later alerted then chevron production manager Neil Docherty . Witnesses and statements were presented to prove this point. The anti-democratic procedure continued it was argued when Shane Roberts used campus police to restrict entry to the qffices. Docherty on learning of the closure had it confirmed by Roberts. He then contacted news editor Henry Hess and other staffers. Roberts arranged with Docherty that he could collect his personal belongings from the office. So that evening of Sept 25 six staffers arrived at the offices to be confronted with Torrie, Roberts and three policemen.

In a popular-education team, you work with 2-4 other students to research an issue, and to design and implement a popular education programme. You may be holding film-speaker events (on or off campus), holding workshops, producing resource packets, writing a Chevron article, radio shows, or background research. Part of the challenge is learning what communication methods work best outside the classroom.

HKLS? in &d need > , of another bugding . Ninety-six students enrblled in KIN 317 lined up Monday morning for the sixty lab slots then available in their program. As the slots were offered on a first-come, first-served basis, 36 students found themselves \unable to sign up. Professor Mike Houston of Human Kinetics and Human Leisure (HKLS) reports the problem has now been solved by adding two extra lab sessions, one on Wednesday afternoons and one evening lab. - / There is “not going to -be a single bit of unhappiness” Houston said. The sessions were added after some of the excluded students sent a letter to Houston and faculty advisor Pat Bishop. They said, “ . . . we are concerned that we @ill be losing a valuable experience in the lab. . . stu-dents are obligated to pay fees for a’part of acburse they are not able - to attend because of reasons beyond their control. A recent increase in tuition fees would also lend support to the, argument that students are fioff once nanc ially, ripped again. . . . We would suggest as an al&native that night labs be instigated if possible.” In the past only a certain percentage of KIN 317 students participated in the lab.

Pat Bishop, faculty advisor, said, “this year more students than normal opted to take the lab”, - a number that had not b’een planned for. Participation in the lab is not a requirement, but could be an asset to anyone who makes use of the learning opportunity it ‘provides. A student can replace his or her mid-term mark with the lab mark. According to Houston, “they* can do better if they take it it’s a* slight reward for the extra work.” He added, “the only thing is, we sure as heck could use another building.” HKLS students are now scattered among seven different buildings on campus. In 1972 plans were drawn to build an addition to the faculty’s facilities, hut a government freeze on building&left construction in the planning stages. It is now up to the Ontario government to make a decision to go ahead with any additions in this or any other faculty. Commenting on the addition of 2 extra labs as a solution to the over-crowding problem, Houston said it will be “awkward and crowded, but everyone’s got what they want.” -lyla

Counct on trial , It was Larry Smylie night at Wednesday-night’s council meeting. Finally the controversial ‘Renison College councillor had his say in what turned out to be a heated four-hour discussion. Smylie’s motions charging council with many counts of federation disorganization, incompetence, poor student representation and general disorder in the council itself, were similarily met with strong opposition by other council members. Smylie’s first motion called for an apology by student council to UW student Burns Proudfoot for “slanderous” remarks former vice-president Ron Hipfner made against him in a discussion concerning the use of federation lawyer Morley Rosenberg. Hipfner had admitted to council Sunday that he made the statement. Smylie’s motions asked for an apology on the front page of the chevron. He also demanded that PrQudfoot be allowed representation by Rosenberg: Council passed an apology, but opposed and defeated Smylie’s motion for front page coverage. Council also gave Proudfoot the use of the federation lawyer. In Smylie’s next motion he accused Board of Entertainment chairperson Bruce Leavens of incompetence. He claimed that Leavens was guilty of poor organisation of student funds. As a solution, Smylie argued that a replacement be found to fill the board position so that student funds could be distributed in a responsible way. He recommended Bruce Rorrison as a possible replacement. However, council felt that Leavens was reprimanded sufficiently at Sunday’s meeting, when council voted non-confidence in him on a motion by Bruce Rorrison. Smylie ended his motion claiming that, “the board of entertainment was The third motion by Smylie met with a staggering in a bloody mess.” defeat with all council members voting against it. This motion charged that a lack of communication existed between the federation and the individual student organisations. Smylie’ s solution called for an entire restructuring of thb Board of Publications, which involved an increase in federation subsidised funding of such organisations. This particular issue was termed by Smylie as, “the most pressing ” He further stated that, “as a council which problem in the University. pretends to represent the students of the campus and administer the funds of the students, this council is an absolute farce.” Smylie’s fourth motion called for a student march protesting differentia! and discriminatory fee hikes posed on foreign students. In response, some council memberi criticised Smylie’s poor preparatory research into the probable response to such a motion. Claiming that even though the march is warranted, it would be difficult to pass such a motion without first contacting the individual foreign student organisations. One council member, Dave Carter, drafted another motion stating that council assist foreign students in their protest against the hikes. He suggested preparatory work by volunteers. This motion was passed. Smylie’s final motion, calling for a proposed date for setting up an editorial board for the chevron, was again met with opposition by council members, who voted not to even consider it. It was argued that the changes in the structure of the chevron were being dealt with by the chevron investigation committee. When Smylie’s presentation was over, council finally dealt with an item of business which had laid on the shelf for months. Council voted against a motion which would have removed seats from councillors who had missed 3 council meetings in one term. In other business, council elected four members to th?

There’s a new face among the publications in. K-W this week, a new weekly newspaper called Community Retlection. The tabloid’s first issue came out Wednesday. The first three issues will be distributed free to almost 30,000 homes and businesses in the area to let the community know the kind of coverage they can expect from the paper. * The Reflection is the brainchild of its publisher, Millage A. Stevens, ofM.A. Stevens Printing and Publishing Ltd.

Exoi res

Good at any 6 K-W locations

Stevens has a background in print media, having worked with Thompson and Life newspapers for over four years. He’s also worked in public relations, retail sales and in sales management. Putting out a community paper in K-W has been a dream of Stevens’ for nearly six years, but over the last six months he has worked to make the paper a reality. He said that the K-W area is unique in that it is “metropolitan, it’s no longer a small to-wn. It is sophisticated and yet still has a country, homey flavor.” The Community Reflection aims to provide K-W with “a good, comprehensive package on community news and happenings,” he said. Reflection’s Associate Editor David Johnston said, “we want the paper to be the most informed single source of news in the community .” “The paper is 99.9 per cent locally oriented,” he said. Johnston comes to the paper after four years of working on community papers in Waterloo County, after having studied journalism for three years in Kitchener. Johnston said, “what we want is to be an image of this city, and the only way we can do that is to have the members of the; community contribute.” In his editorial in the first issue, Johnston solicits people’s participation. “The paper is designed with space for your input on nearly every page,” he writes. “All we need is you.” Reflection has a staff of 17 peo-

ple, all coming from professions in the publications industry. Stevens said that the paper’s editorial policy is basically to provide a forum for feedback to and from the people in the area. He said that a publisher is never satisfied with his paper but seeks constantly to make successive issues better. “We do want to improve, and we will improve”, he said. Equipment failure was responsible for the poor quality of photo reproduction in the first issue, but the kinks have been ironed out and future issues will reveal the improvement.

The staff at the Reflection is largely young and energetic and, on the first day after the first issue’s publication they appeared optimistic about their future success. Johnston says he’s “had great feedback”. He said that the paper’s whole game plan is to communicate and that he expects success because people want and need to develop a forum for an exchange of ideas in a community this size. Reflection aims to report on issues relevant and topical in this area. They don’t want to enter into competition with other K-W publications, but only provide an alternative source of news. They also plan in future issues “to provide information on things that are going on outside of the community that are of interest to people here,” Johnston said. Copies of the first issue are available for free all over town. -lyla

Take a crack If you’ve been wanting to take a crack at Harry Parrott, October 5 looks like the day for it. According to Gordon Swaters, the federation’s liaison officer for National Union of Students (NUS) and Ontario Federation of Students (OFS), there will be a rally at UW October 5, after which buses will leave for a larger afternoon demonstration in Toronto, where Colleges and Universities minister Harry Parrott is scheduled to speak about his changes to OSAP. This weekend Swaters and federation education fieldworker Morris Ilyniak meet as part of an OFS delegation with labour minister John Munroe to discuss youth unemployment and underemployment. Swaters said, “I think the only possible thing we can get out of it is that the papers might pick it up.” On campus forums are tentatively scheduled for September 21 and 28. Swaters says the forums will be to point out that cutbacks in education exist, to explain why, and to allow various groups, both on and off-campus to present their views on how to fight them. The campaign against cutbacks was kicked off Tuesday, when the feds held an “OSAP Bitch Session” in the Campus Centre Great Hall. Swaters outlined the feds’ concerns, saying student aid should reduce financial barriers to postsecondary education. He outlined some facets of the student aid program which he says . “indicate the Ontario government is not committed to universal accessibility.” - the 66 per cent increase in the amount students must take out in loans before they may receive grants, the arbitrary summer earnings contribution requirement that does not consider students’ actual earnings, the $75 a month limit on part-time earnings during the school year, above which deductions are made from your award, and the continuance of dependent status which means that - students’ financial resources are calculated on the basis of their parents’ income. John Shortall, fieldworker from OFS, outlined the organisation’s principles for a student aid scheme. He said students should be included in a permanent advisory committee on student aid, the student’s need should be based on his or her actual resources, students should be considered independent at age 18, living allowances under the program should be based on the actual living costs in the student’s community, loans should be slowly phased out in favour of grants, there should be no and loan further tuition increases,

repayment should begin six months after employment, rather than six. months after graduation, as is the case now. In a later interview with the chevron, Shortall said the OFS was taking a “three-pronged approach” to student issues. The first prong is the letter to Ontario premier Bill Davis against the tuition fee increase and the inadequacy of the present OSAP program. It asks him to “extend the freeze on tuition increases that you have promised for 1978-79, and to end the higher fees for students from other countries.” Shortall says the purpose of the letter is to demonstrate “general student opposition”. He cited the same purpose for NUS’s letter to Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau about the federal complaining government’s failure to ease un-

at Harry employment by creating jobs. The second prong is getting students to Harry Parrott’s meetings on the OSAP changes. Shortall said students’ councils should present the OFS program on student aid and provide transportation to the meetings. The third prong is on unemployment. OFS is planning an informational picket at Manpower offices October 12, the day when Statistics Canada figures on student unemployment are due to be released. When it was suggested that this might be a rather late date to mobilize students on the issue of summer employment Shortall said, “It’s not putting off the employment question, it’s a question of when it’s most effective.” He said it was mainly for press and public attention. Shortall added that OFS would

Garbage. to insulate Superior Sanitation Services plans to launch a program of newspaper recycling in Kite.hener October 1. Discarded newspaper will be specially processed to make insulation material. Nyle Ludolph, manager of municipal contracts for Superior, urgently requests public participation. Beginning Oct. 1st and every second week thereafter, garbage collectors will collect discarded newspaper. The bundles must be tied in two directions with good weight cord. Leaving them in cardboard boxes, which Superior cannot use, will only compound the waste problem, said Ludolph. He

Kendall Schmearer, president of Heat-Gard Insulation outlined the advantages of the cellulose insulation. Compared to fiberglass and blown-in loose fiberglass wool, cellulose has higher fire retardancy and testing concludes that it will maintain retardancy for 20 years. In addition, less cellulose is needed for equal effectiveness and, he said, “it could well be the lowest priced.” -rebecca

conduct a “mass lobby” similar to that done last year where delega: tions from each member student government would talk to their MPP and try to get some questions on student aid asked in the legislature. After last- year’s lobby tuition

fees increased for both Canadian and foreign students. Shortall explained, “In the same way as with anything else activity doesn’t necessarily get you the results you want, but it will have an effect. There are lots of factors involved.”

Charges are still coming to trial whit h result from a raid on a research centre in Waterloo in February. Marsha Fine, a supporter of the Communist Party of Canada Marxist-Leninist (CPC-ML) faced charges of assaulting and obstructing police. The charges arose after the RCMP. raided her apartment last Feb. 23. On that day four private apartments and the Waterloo Branch of the Norman Bethune Institute in Waterloo, a research center of the CPC(M-L), were raided, resulting in a total of sixteen arrests. Fine made several statements in court in lieu of entering a plea, claiming that the raids were a form of political persecution against the CPC(M-L) and any progressive opposition to governmental authority . Search warrants for the raid had been obtained for possible offences under the immigration act, according to testimony of RCMP Constable Barrett. Fine said that the raids were conducted to disrupt the 3rd Con-

gress ofthe CPC-ML which was going on at that time. Hardial Bains, chairman of the CPC-ML, was one of those arrested on Feb. 23 and charged with aiding and abetting an illegal immigrant. According to the testimony of Constable Barrett, who was on special assignment in K-W that day, the Immigration and Passport unit of the RCMP had information that people who had been deported previously might be at the residence raided. Fine was originally charged with aiding and’ abetting Frederick Alan Mason to violate the Immigration Act. Doug Wahlsten, a UW psychology professor and the AntiImperialist Alliance spokesperson on campus was arrested and charged with the same offence. The charges against Wahlsten were dropped on July 8. Mason, was found at the research center, and was deported on Feb. 25. The aiding and abetting chargesagainst Fine were dropped in late July. She now faces charges of as-

saulting and obstructing police in connection with an incident during the raid at her apartment. Testimony of prosecution witnesses showed that several posters announcing the 3rd Congress of the CPC-ML and showing a large photo of Hardial Bains with his fist raised in a salute were confiscated during the raid. ’ Asked by Fine why the posters were taken as evidence on an immigration case, Constable Gregory L. Sheen of the RCMP stated that he didn’t know “if or what the poster had to do with the search.” Constables Brian Binnie and Barrett had similar replies to the same question when it was posed by Fine. The prosecution called three RCMP witnesses but three more have yet to be called. Fine, who is defending herself, has not yet presented her case. The trial of Marsha Fine will continue in Ontario Provincial Court on Frederick St. in Kitchener on Sept. 26. The case against Hardial Rains comes up Oct. 7. -lyla

Studies

\

New degree program and courses offered

7

:-

A new degree program and several new upper year courses are being offered at UW this year. Descriptions of most of these courses may not be found in the 1977-1978 calendar. An undergraduate degree program called Peace and Conflict Studies will be administered by Conrad Grebel College. It is the first such program at a Canadian university. The Peace and Conflict Studies program is especially designed for students who are interested in careers in conlFlict resoltition, occupations such as social work, counselling, law and corrections, politics, public administration, or community development and education. Courses in the curriculum focus mainly on the sources of conflict, types of conflict, and approaches to conflict resolution or management. Peace and Conflict Studies is an interdisciplinary option which is cJhosen by students in conjunction with their major in one of the traditional disciplines. At present there are three different degree options open to students enrolled in Peace and Conflict Studies. An Honours BA is available to students who major in one of the participating departments anthropology, history, philosophy, political science, psychology, religious studies, sociology. A General BA is available to all students in the UW Arts Faculty, and a minor in Peace and Conflict Studies is available to students in any UW faculty. Conrad Brunk, assistant professor of philosophy at Conrad Grebel College, is director of the Peace and Conflict Studies program. Among the new courses offered at UW this year is the “Politics of Canadian Resource Development” (political science 435). In the couI;se, Terry Downey, new to UW, plans to examine Canada’s traditional role as net exporter of natural resources and the implications of this pattern of trade which bases Canada’s economic prosperity on the vicissitudes of international demand. The course focuses on the actions of successive Canadian government which have actively promoted the rapid exploitation and export of natural resources. Most importantly, the course will deal with the consequences of the methods used for Canada’s economic political and sovereignty. The environmental and cultural impact of massive rel source explo?tation will also be examined. Finally, the course will examine possible alternatives to the pattern of basing Canada’s economic future on exports of natural resources such as oil, natural gas and minerals. Downey, who has taught extension courses in the past, is also in-

volved in an experiment called “Thinking about Canadian Government and Politics”, offered Saturday mornings at the KW Labour Centre. There is no charge, and it is a non-credit course, although UW students can arrange to take it for credit. The course is a co-operative effort of the KW dnd District Labour Council and the University of. Waterloo: Downey said that so far all the students are union members. According to the course outline, some of the ba-sic questions to be brought forward for discussion include: why should the working man or woman be concerned with what happens in Ottawa? what are the aims and objectives of federal government? how-much power does it have? how does it affect the individual? Downey, a former UW student, is an enthusiastic and sympathetic and both these courses person, promise to be worthwhile. Jack Kersell will teach a relatively new course on Canadian foreign policy (political science 434). John Fraser teaches “Comparative Communism” (353,354), a study of Communist parties, particularly of Western Europe. Man-Environment 375F, taught by Sally Lerner, is called the “Environments of Work”, and will examine work from a number of perspectives. The issues include working conditions, the debate over alienation and job satisfaction, the “postindustrial” hypothesis. An analysis will also be made of the proposition that controlled growth and effective environment protection will necessarily lead to hardship and unemployment. Among the questions to be discussed are: what is a worker? how are definitions of work changing? what are the costs and benefits of current work arrangements? is there a political future for alfernative structures of work in North America? Man-Environment 375T is called “Technology/Lifestyles for a Conand is taught by server Society” He feels that Jim Robinson. Canada is sooh to become some sort of “conserver society”, and that in fact, the government has made a commitment to movement in this direction. The course will focus primarily on energy as a central problem in this era of transition. The background of current energy issues will be discussed, with emphasis on the technologies of alternate energy systems and on the social, political and economic implications of various energy scenarios. The psychology department is offering a course called “Heredity, ” Evolution and Behaviour”. Taught by Doug Wahlsten, psychology 462 examines the causes of individual differences within a popula-

Since it’s drop-add time of year and you might be interested in checking out a course, why not drop in on Dance 162. Essentially the course is designed as a survey course of various forms of movement. But like the sign says you doA’t dance you watch. On Wednesday evenings in the Theatre of the Arts throughout the term, a series of films and live courses will be provided. This series will include performingartists such as Dance Plus Four and movies, like Romeo and Juliet: For the first month of school these will be offered for audit to the general public free of charge. Even if you think dance is your number or even if you don’t, come check out the T. of A. at 7:30 on Wednesday evenings. If you want to get into movement as audience, you can’t do better than this short of living in a world dance centre like New York for a month. Definitely four star and worth it.

tion as well as species differences in behaviour. The course will elaborate the history of the theory of evolution in relation ‘to behaviour, beginning with Lamarck and considering the ideas of Darwin, Engels, Lysenko and various Western theorists. The course will conclude with 3 detailed critique of the work of Konrad Lorenz, The “History of Economic Thought” (Economics 303) is being taught this year by visiting professor Guy Routh from the University of Sussex. Routh is author of The Origin of Economic Ideas. The course is a critical survey of the development of economic thought from Sir Walter Petty through John Maynard Keynes. It deals with the rise of merchant capitalism, the foundation of modern economics, the invention ,of laissez-faire, the reform of the Poor Laws, Say’s Law of Markets, the Marxist transformation, and the

‘Chevronlock-out’ wasan accident!! Ralph Torrie, former Board of Publications chairperson, claimed last friday’that the lock change on the chevron office doors last September 24 was nothing more than an accident - a misunderstanding. According to Torrie, Federation B usiness Manager, Peter Yates, misinterpreted a request from the Federation Executive to look into . the feasibility of having the locks changed on the chevron doors. The result, Torrie said, was that the works were in motion for the changing of the chevron locks before the executive had actually decided to proceed with such action. Torrie was speaking at the seventh meeting of the chevron Investigation Commission, which is currently dealing with the reasons - behind, and the legality and propriety of, the closure of the chevron last fall. The basic reasons for the problems which developed last fall, according to Torrie, were the poorly structured by-laws and the policies and. procedures by which the chevron operated. These, he said, created a situation which made it possible for a small group to gain control of the paper. The chevron delegation pointed out that this possibility was not reason enough to close the paper, and invited Torrie to present evidence if this truly had been the case. Also noted was the fact that any chevron staff member may bring up any staff decision for reconsideration at anytime - thus making control by a small group impossible.

-

Continued

Torrie replied at one point that the allegation of an AIA takeover of the paper was difficult, if not impossible to substantiate, due to the subjectiveness of the charge. However, Torrie also stated that there had been a polarization on staff between Anti-Imperialist Alliance supporters and others. He cited, as an example, the election of Adrian Rodway over Larry Hannant as editor, saying that the voting may not have necessarily indicated anything more than a rejection of Hannant, who is associated with the AIA. Torrie said that Rodway was hounded to his resignation, and told of the attempted removal of Rodway from the position of editor, and the subsequent statement by Hannant that Rodway would not last six weeks more at the job. When questioned by chevron representatives as to whether the case for Rodway’s removal was made on the basis of his political beliefs, Torrie stated that the question was that of Rodway’s competency - “There was some political discussion, but it was not the issue.” Torrie introduced himself early in the meeting and had said that his presentation would be neither in favour of the chevron, nor the federation. The chevron representatives, however, made it quite clear to the commission that they considered Torrie’s testimony to be clearly presented in support of the federation’s position. --gerard

given to fire Docherty and Hess at the next council meeting scheduled for Sept 30. This anti-democratic behaviour of the federation was contrasted, before the commission, with the chevron actions. While the federation had schemed in secret, used the police, and suppressed all attempts to discuss the matter and get to the bottom of it, the chevron staff brought their case into the open before the students. They published a special issue which carried the executive minutes and statement, reported on the events, and’carried evidence refuting the major charges against them (Sept 28, 1976 chevron). Also they called a public meeting in an effort to have the problem discussed in an open forum. Meanwhile the federation was mobilizing the societies particularly Eng Sot. Minutes of the Sept 29 Eng Sot ‘A’ meeting were presented to show that Roberts and other executive members attended the meeting where a resolution was passed against the chevron. Roberts even tried to stop the chevron staff getting audio equipment for the public rally they had called. As evidence of this a letter from Audio-Visual Centre Director Geoffrey Downie was presented in which he stated that he had received word from Roberts that the chevron was not a recognised federation organisation. It was noted that this was on Sept 30 after the paper had been re-opened on Sept 26 and before it was closed on Sept 30 and was thus an official organisation on campus. Chevron staffer Ernst von Bezold testified that in order to gain audio equipment for the rally he had to deposit $50. He provided the commission with a booking order for the equipment. For recognised organisations no deposit is required on audio equipment. At the rally it was ponited out by

witnesses that chevron opponents particualrly a group of engineers, heckled and jeered drowning out some speakers. There was also testimony that waterbombs were thrown at some of the speakers. While the chevron staff presented evidence and tried to deal with some of the charges against the paper, and the Anti-Imperialist Alliance, which was at the centre of the dispute, distributed a leaflet giving its views, Roberts continued to make charges’ without attempting to substantiate them, Grajower told the commission. There was a point stressed by the chevron delegation, that there were charges mounting one on top of the other but never any attempt made to prove them. A publication which came out Sept 30, The Other Voice, was shown as an example of this. Although the federation didn’t admit to publishing it the chevron gave the commission an invoice addressed to the federation from a Kitchener printer for work done on the publication. They also produced a signed statement from ,a witness who saw it being collated in the federation office and promised another witness to further elaborate that the federation was the publisher. The Other Voice, it was pointed out, contained 63 charges against the chevron and like all the others there was no evidence to back them UP. The chevron delegation read, the following quote about senator Joe McCarthy who launched a red scare in the US in the early 1950’s to illustrate the anti-democratic essence of this type of activity. It read in part: “Senator McCarthy had never been one to quail before lack of evidence; to him the charge itself was often adequate proof; and the more sensational the charge, the better it suited his purpose.”

Witnesses said Roberts issued orders to the police that the staffers would only be allowed in one at a time to collect their belongings. Docherty went in and refused to leave and other staffers Larry Hannant tand Doug Wahlsten maneuvering their way in, then Roberts gave in and ordered the police to leave. So began the nine-month occupation of the chevron offices. The chevron presentation pointed out that despite allthat had gone on Sept 24 and 25 the staff of the newspaper were not informed of the charges against them until the council meeting of the 26th. There for the first time they saw the minutes of the executive meeting and the accompanying statement, which included a total of 12 charges against the paper. And in the course of the meeting the chevron delegation to the commission said they discerned 23 charges from listening to’incomplete tapes of the meeting. The charges mounted and there was no attempt on the part of the accusers to substantiate their claims. Also efforts by the chevron staff to refute the charges were suppressed by council speaker Heather Rorrison. Excerpts from the tapes of the meeting were played to the commission to illustrate the point. In one section where Docherty is heard trying to answer some of the accusations he is cut off by the speaker who tells him “you have no privileges here”. The chevron staff walked out in protest because they were not allowed to present a case. Although at that meeting council voted to re-open the chevron it also accepted ,the executive minutes thereby endorsing the actions of Sept 24. And notice of motion was

GRADUATION

During UW’s last convocation *in May the free chevron surveyed 700 graduating students on their job prospects. It was discovered that 23 per cent of them were walking onto Canada’s growing unemp!pyment line. Below is a reprint of the information from the survey and a small article which also appeared in that lune 3 issue of the free chevron and put the graduate unemployment in perspective. The picture and cutline are a/so from that issue and help fill-in some of the other details of VW’s 34th convocation.

Onlv 40.5 ner cent of the almost 2,400 &hen& who graduated from UW last week have found full-time employment commensurate with their degrees. These are the results of a survey carried out by the chevron staff.

The results of our survey indicate a similarity in the-prospects for those receiving BA, BES, and BSc degrees. Mathematics and Engineering graduates were comparable in that they both had a lacge proportion of jobs commensurate with their degrees - this is not surprising considering that this is where the large co-op programmes are. On the average it is 95% certain that the graphed results are accurate to within 7%.

Mennonite fraktur ‘art

Find your German heritage

P

Part of the unique ethnic heritage of Ontario will be on view from mid-September to mid-October in an exhibition of Furniture and Fraktur at the UW Arts Centre Gallery. This exhibition of artifacts from Waterloo County- and Germanic Ontario has been gathered largely from private collections and most pieces have never been publicly displayed before. The exhibition is the result of the research and collaboration of two University of Waterloo professors, Michael Bird of Religious Studies and S.K. Johannesen of the History department. The furniture will be entirely from nineteenth century Waterloo County craftsmen, while the fraktur art will be drawn from the three areas of German settlement in southern Ontario: the Niagara penninsula, Markham township and Waterloo County. This exhibition has been plannedto tie in with the KitchenerWaterloo Oktoberfest celebrations and will run from September 18 to October 16 during special hours from 11: 30 am to 5 pm Monday through Friday, and on Sundays from 2 to 5 pm. Admission to the opening is free, and everyone is welcome. Fraktur art, one of the decorative arts practised in the Germanic communities of Ontario has to do with the decoration of documents and written or printed texts. It focuses upon a more personal and private aspect of the household inventory - birth records, marriage certificates, family records, religious texts and books.

Suiday film series I Nine years ago the Cambridge Cine Club was formed as an offshoot of the Galt Little Theatre. Since then then Cine Club has sought to bring to Cambridge a fine selection of Canadian and International films, both contemporary and classic, at moderate cost to the viewer. This year the Cine Club continues to seek this end, expanding its season to fifteen films, plus a Festival of Canadian Films in February (Festival details will follow at a later date). All films will be shown on Sunday evenings in the Cambridge Central (Galt) Library Auditorium, and all will begin at 7: 30 p.m. Admission to the films is by season’s membership limited in only, number to 200, and available now

at the incredibly low price of only $10.00. The season starts off with a free showing of “The Last Detail” Sept. 28. Many great films will be shown such as Fellini’s “Amarcord”, de Sica’s neo-realist “Umberto D”, Teshigahara’s “Woman of the Dunes” from Japan, plus films from India, Mexico, France, Germany, Britain and the U.S. There will also be a documentary on France’s great film director Abel Gance.

Historically, Fraktur has referred to a style of printing or writing in which letters are ‘broken’ (fractured) for the purpose of achieving ornamental effect. This ‘breaking’ of letters is often associated with the Medieval printing form known as ‘Gothic’. It first emerged in Northern Europe near the end of the eleventh century and was preserved down through the centuries. Its history in North America originates in the Germanic communities of Pennsylvania in the eighteenth century. The majority of Pennsylvania fraktuf art is found in three distinctive religious groups connected with the Anabaptist tr,aditions of the Reformation, one of which is

Writing comedy is a risky business, especially if the comedy is feature length. With a short presentation you’re pretty well free to do whatever you want without having I to worry about boring the audience. Over an hour you’ve got two choices, admirably illustrated by the two Monty Python films. You can forget about any semblance of plot from the start, as in “And Now For Something Completely Different”, and simply ramble about. All YOU need is ai abundance of excel&nt material to ramble in (the Pythons had their entire first season to choose from, so how could they miss?). The other choice is to take a plot which will stand up to a lot of punishment and then *stick to it, embellighing and perverting where necessary, & la “Holy Grail”. In his new film, “The Last Remake of Beau Geste”, now playing at the Waterloo, Marty Feldman has unfortunately taken the third of

In HARD ROCK TOWN McLauchlan changes the music from his contemporary ‘ ‘acoustic” to a new vibrant “electric” sound. He does it in such a way that it compliments the words. No added sounds or long instrumentals “just pure and simple rock”. This album has every chance of equalling if not surpassing the popularity of his “BOULEVARD” album thereby becoming his third gold.

McLauc hlan’ s new album“HARD ROCK TOWN” at first glance, leaves one with the impression that he has turned around and attempted cutting a mass appeal production. The colour scheme and the front picture on the album cover contribute to this trend of thought. One’s expectations are that the contents will be a poor expression of McLauchlan’ s talent.

Feldman sets out to destroy the typical adventure film formula‘ __ and gets so carried away with attempts at zaniness that the formula gets left by the wayside. Now that’s all fine and well for the first half of the film, but after 40 minutes the film has simply dissipated.

The play chosen by Festival Lennoxville for its first-ever national tour is the wildly successful comedy “Sqrieux-de-Deux” (a nonsense title pronounced Skroo-de-doo), a brilliant, hilarious look at modern life. It will open the professional entertainment season at the UW Arts Centre on September 23 and 24, in the Humanities Theatre at 8 p.m. Tickets are on sale now at $5.5Q (Students/Seniors’ $3.50) at the Main Box Office, Room 254, Modern Languages building, UW campus (885-4280) and off campus at Bishop’s Style Shop, Stanley Park Mall, Kitchener or KW Symphony Office, 56 King St. N., Waterloo. “ Sqrieux-de-Deux ” was written by Betty Lambert, a Vancouver writer and professor at Simon Fraser University, better known before this comedy hit as a writer of children’s dramas. It was an immediate success at its first performance at Theatre Vancouver in 1975. The play was brought to Lennoxville to open the 1976 festival and was the hit of the season. When the Canada Council decided to support Festival Lennoxville’s first Eastern Canadian tour, “Sqrieux-de-Deux” was a natural choice. The show will be touring throughout this Fall and will appear at the National Arts Centre in Ottawa in September. “ Sqrieux-de-Deux ” has gained wide audience acceptance even though it is an extremely ribald comedy, complete with a frustrated housewife annointing herself with musk oil, squeezing into a leather jump suit and brandishing a whip, a nude scene with whipped cream topping and some really racy dialogue. The reason for this wide acceptance is that ‘ ‘ SqGeux-de-Deux’ ’ is a first rate play with an exceptionally talented cast and a brilliant director in the person of Richard Ouzounian.

Substandard journakkm We the undersigned wish to express our whole-hearted agreement with the letter in your September 9th issue from David Assman et al. ,This letter may also clarify some points which were apparently beyond your comprehension. MacDonald’s exists chiefly to exploit cheap student labour and a gullible public. Nutritionally, it’s a major disaster. The quality at Harvey’s is usually better, but their prices are higher and such failings as mouldy buns have sometimes been encountered. On a quality nutrition/dollar basis, students should avoid both. Full-page (or more!!) adaptations from the PCDN in the chevron constitute misappropriation of student funds; anybody who really cares what the PCDN says will buy it. Our feeling is that the majority of students would rather not. Perhaps 20 pages is sufficient-if quantity is the only consideration. (Are you getting enough bulk fibre in your diet??). As an Orientation issue, however, that of August 23rd was substandard. Information about activities was skimpy Creative thought is the process by which individuals make original contributions to society. The signatories of the first letter obviously felt that the chevron needed more in this line, and we agree with them!

We realize this may be hard on your collective ego, but ‘ trite, dull and selfcongratulatory’ is our opinion of the orientation issue too. David W. Gillett Alex R. White Jim K. Aldridge Ralph D. Hill

Clarification This letter should explain in more detail our letter of last week: The chevron has, in the past, printed excellent articles dealing with food and nutrition and taken a serious look at eating establishments in the Kitchener-Waterloo area. The publication of an article on junkfood, especially since the article is of dubious quality, seems to us to be a betrayal of earlier principles. The chevron has also been concerned in the past with the quality, availability, and cost of housing for students, as well as being concerned with the quality of landlords. However, it appears that these principles do not extend to advertising and by accepting advertising from Terry Good and his League, the chevron appears to be condoning renting from a landlord with some of the highest priced houses in this city. Accepting advertising from Birthright is, admittedly, against a personal principle of ours. Full page reprints are not bad per se and depending on content and availability of information, may be very valuable. This article on oil is both presumptous and simplistic. It is also so couched in rhetoric that the article is self-defeating. The average student will not read this article because of the rhetoric and thus any impact it may have had will be lost. The chevron o.wes an apology to a number of publications for the statement ‘This problem has not been dealt with adequately in other media’. Last Post, the Canadian Forum, the Committee for an Independent Canada and a whole host of other groups and publications have dealt with the problem with much more research and seriousness than PCDN. If you wonder why we called the article simplistic, read ‘The Big Tough Expensive Job’-it can be obtained from the Committee for an Independent Canada. The August’ issue of Canadian Forum would be valuable as well. Ad content is well over 50 per cent, but paid ad content amounts to 47 per cent of the paper. It seems strange to us that the intramural schedule would be run in the paper for free,. whereas the Federation is charged $200 to run the orientation schedule. Compared to past Orientation issues, this issue is skimpy. For example, the 1971-72

issue had 32 pages, the 72-73 issue had 28 pages, the 73-74 issue had 28 pages, the 74-75 issue had 24 pages and the 197576 issue had 32 pages. At 20 pages, this year’s orientation issue is the smallest in at least six years. Additionally less than one-third of the August 23rd issue consisted of articles. Examples of how the paper is selfcongratulatory are numerous.Statements such as ‘The chevron is an active student voice and the most active student centre on campns’, ‘But fortunately for you the reader, this reporter, a known connoisseur of legendary status’ and ‘This problem had not been dealt with adequately in other media’ are ample illustrations of this point. Do you know of any other newspaper which would reprint favourable letters? We do not feel it necessary to explain why we feel the Orientation issue is dull and trite otherwise - we’ll leave that up to the reader.

Socialism... not marxism I would like to give a message of importance to the local Marxist community. I am addressing the Marxists because I have gained some knowledge of Marxism through the Socialist Party of Canada. Marxism is more commonly related to communism (and therefore the Communist Party of Canada I would presume) but the S.P.C. claims to be the only party to truly adhere to Marx and dismisses all others as distorters. I only wish I knew more about the A.I.A., Leninists, Maoists and other revolutionary groups. My message to you Marxists (and others) is that you are all fools for maintaining policies which are impeding the establishment of socialism. I define socialism as a system that is organized for the benefit of all

Having returned to campus, I have encountered many people who have asked me about my involvement with the summer reinstatement of the chevron, and I wish to clarify my position. I supported the reinstatement because I thought the original closing was ridiculous, improper, and created a far more severe problem than the one it hoped to solve. I did not vote for reinstatement for ‘freedom of the press’ or any other such ambiguous ideologies. Most students will probably agree that the post-reinstatement chevrons have been far superior to the old ones, as very few stories about Angola, Albania, Rhodesia and the CPC(ML)‘s scrapes with the law, etc., all of marginal interest to students, have been printed. Although these first few issues have been superb, there are a few individuals affiliated with the paper, who have taken it upon themselves to ‘educate’ the ‘ignorant masses’ about the ‘marxist truths’, at the expense of student news. I therefore urge the chevron staff to keep up the good work, not bend to these people, and refrain from printing rumors and allegations about the commercial press being controlled by big business, and about government and big business conspiring to deliberately injure workers, always support due process by not urging people to refuse to pay their phone bills, 2nd

tion is: “Pseudonyms or organizational names will be run if the chevron is provided with the real name of the author.” It is interesting that based on one mistake by us, and a mistake by yourself, you conclude the paper is not worth the cost borne by students. Neil Docherty

In a previous editorial the chevron staff stated that it would examine the English Language Proficiency Programme. Examination began with a critique of a report on the phony”writing skills’ conference to which only those High School teachers who had expressed ‘special concern’ about their students’ writing skills were invited. Another article demonstrated that the hastily conceived proficiency programme was based, not on evidence, but entirely on vague “ public opinion’ ’ imported from the United States, and that the only respectable study of Canadian students’ writing skills indicated that there has been no decline in the past twenty years. Although the chevron has called repeatedly for publication of the standards of proficiency, I and although the chevron has shown the ridiculous nature of the first proficiency exam, students are still forced to prove a ‘proficiency’ which is based on secret and, for all anyone knows, arbitrary and changeable standards. By imposing compulsory non-credit “proficiency” programmes on ‘its students, the Faculty of Arts admits contempt not only for the judgement of its students but also for its own degrees since it implies that illiterates may graduate unless they are forced to pass an exam! A writing clinic truly designed to help students who have problems with “standard” English will be voluntary and democratic and will solicit suggestions from those who are most involved - the’ students themselves. The chevron has already made clear its belief that students are being forced to accept “help”, whether or not they want it, for no other reason than that bureaucrats, confronted with cutbacks, wish to decrease university enrollment. The chevron will provide as much space as is necessary for the unedited words of anyone who wishes to defend the proficiency programme at Waterloo. -chevron

Correc tion If you found last week’s chevron a bit confusjng in a couple of spots it was because of some mistakes made somewhere along the line. We gave the times for upcoming chevron Investigation Commission meetings, but we forgot to tell you the places. See this week’s front ww The story under the headline “Writing is kid’s stuff” on page 16 was a first draft of a preblurb to the reprinted articles on English proficiency on page 12. We still haven’t found the story on a writing contest for authors of childrens’ stories

which was supposed to go under that head. The course addition announced at the bottom of page 3 should have read “MENV 375T”. Needlesss to say, Man-Environment was a little upset at that one. We apologise for these mistakes. We have somewhat over-extended ourselves in conducting our registration survey, preparing our case for the investigation commission, and recruiting new people. One way you can help us is to come on down to the chevron office - there’s lots to do.

/ University of Toronto Blues opened their Centennial Season Saturday at Varsity Stadium with a 37- 11 win over the Warriors. “Dissappointed!” was the way Warrior Head Coach Wally Delahey expressed his feelings about his teams performance. “I thought we should have done much better against this team today. We just didn’t have that enthusiasm, the emotion it takes.” Among a mass of confusion, the Warriors arrived later for the game than they expected to, after having trouble securing a bus for their trip early Saturday morning, resulting in an hours delay in departure time. “I hate to use it as an excuse, but it has to affect you a certain amount,” remarked Delahey . Warriors scored first with a single -point after Mike Karpow’s opening kickoff was booted deep into the Varsity end zone and Waterloo’s linebacker Bill Kyle trapped the Toronto returner. Blues took the lead after missing a 26-yard field goal, on a 22-yard attempt by Toronto kicker Paul McMillan. After an exchange of downs Warrior punt returner Steve Keating returned a Toronto punt 60 yards to the Varsity 19 yard line. With less than a minute remaining in the quarter Waterloo quarterback Gord Taylor spotted $lanker George Lomaga deep in the end zone but Lomaga was unable to hang on to the pass, forcing Mike Marpow’s 30-yard field goal attempt. It was good. Rlues, scrimmaging from their own 35, began a 75yard drive to start the second quarter, capping it off with a l-yard plunge by Toronto runningback Bob Hedges for the game’s first touchdown. The awesome running game of the Blues, behind their veteran offensive line, again and again picked

away at the Warrior defence, with steady drives resulting in two more Varsity TD’s in the second quarter by Blues John Goodrow and Frank Raponi. The first half ended Toronto 23 Waterloo 4. The Warrior offence under the, direction of QB Gord Taylor appeared to get on track in the third quarter. On their opening drive Warrior’s Kevin Beagle sprinted for a 4%yard gain to the Varsity 24-yard line. On third down from the Toronto 9-yard line Taylor scrambled from the clutches of the Varsity defence

er ,

to again spot Warrior flanker Lomaga 4 yards deep in the end zone. This time no mistake, Lomaga pulled in the pass for the Warrior’s only major score. The Waterloo defence tightened up and appeared to be going to shut out the explosive Varsity offence for the remainder of the game. With 4:26 left in the game Warriors lost defensive right tackle --Andy Teminski with a neck injury, resulting in’ a short delay in the game. Teminski suffering from neck spasms and numbness in his hands was placed on a spinal board by St. Johns Ambulance attendants

and taken to Toronto General Hospital. Apparently dishearted by the loss of Teminski the Warrior defence let up, resulting in a Varsity touchdown march finished off by a 4-yard run by the Blues’ Raponi: his second of the contest. A short Varsity kickoff was then recovered and the Warriors die’d. Toronto starting quarterback Dan Fereday was replaced by Joe Hawco who took control of the Varsity offence for the final series and led them on a 43-yard drive, completing two passes,- including the 16-yard touchdown strike to

with 25 sec-

The entire afternoon the Waterloo defence failed to make the Toronto offence pay after the initial hit and placed very little pressure on the Varsity quarterbacks, algowing 12 completions of 18 attempts. Blues totaled 437 yards in offence including 273 on the ground to Waterloo’s 142 and took only 65 yards in penalties compared to the Warriors’ 170. Waterloo top rusher for the afternoon was Kevin Beagle with 70 yards on 5 carries including his 48-yard jaunt. Fullback Greg Jones was the most consistant Warrior, carrying 7 times for 49 yards while QB Gord Taylor completed 6 of 19 passes for 111 yards, including one touchdown strike, and carried 5 times for 24 yards. Defensively the Warriors’ one bright spot appeared to be halfback Steve Keating who provided respectable coverage on Varsity receivers the entire afternOon as well as returning punts and kickoffs. Tomorrow the Warriors will attempt to even their record with a thin at home over the University of Windsor Lancers at Seagram Stadium: Waterloo has the personnel to make this a winning year and large fan support could provide them with that emotion Coach Delehay’s Warriors need to get on track.
