Smit Wins, lose Tuesday’s election brought Rick Smit to the Presidency of the Federation of Students with 59.9 per cent of the vote and with 56.6 per cent of the voters telling him to bring in refundable fees, even though ill the faculties except Engineering and St. Jeromes voted for compusory fees. The major factor in the refundable fees contest was the summer vote, most of which came from the Engineering Faculty’s 45 per cent turn out on July 6 when the first part of the referendum was held. The summer vote was 731 to 144 in favour of refundable fees, while Tuesday’s vote was 1345 to 1202 in favour ofcompulsory fees. In the presidential race, Rick Smit’s vote total of 1438 was head and shoulders above that of Jim Todd, who came second with 750 votes, while Larry Smylie was a distant third with 431 votes. Larry Smylie was trounced 24 to 4 in his “home ground” at Renison. Although Smit topped most constituencies, the base of his strength was in Math, Engineering, Science, and off-campus’votes. The total presidential voting turn out of 17.5 per cent was higher than last May’s turn out of 14.5 per cent, but was lower than most of the past elections. There were 301 more referendum ballots cast on Tuesday than presidential ballots. In the Arts by-election, Tim Little, Margret Kerr, and Don Salichuk won the three vacant seats while Nash Dhanani came fourth. Ex-president Doug Thompson was trounced in IS by Sam Wagar, 14 to 6. Smit, who had campaigned heavily in the residences, especially the villages, and who had spoken to several classes, was assisted by campaign manager John J. Long, as well as by Steve Risto and Bruce Mills. All three assistants are heavily involved in Math Society. Jim Todd, who also campaigned extensively in the residences, attributed his loss to J. J. Long’s campaigning to Rick Smit. Todd algo felt that by refusing to compromise to what the Engineering and Math students wanted to hear he lost some votes. Reflecting on the refundable fee, Smit, who campaigned for a compulsory levy, said it was “something we will have to live with” and that “it tiay be a good thing after all.” Although the refundable fees will not take effect during his current term of office, Smit said he intends to run for president again in February and will then have to live with refundable fees. Smit said that the first thing he wants to do in the federatiori is to have all employees, from the bartender to the president himself, submit job justifications which he will then summarize in a report, perhaps making some changes. He would also like to streamline the executive by agg!(srZerating some boards. To help with the communication gap, which he feels is the most severe problem on campus, he said he would like to get-150 volunteers to help with the federation office work and the public relations. Smit said he wants to know the budget in detail as soon as possible, and that he would like to utilize some of the financial and budgetary expertise in the math faculty. A top priority, he said, will be to meet with Kitchener city council, and K-W Transit to push for a bus route in the Sunnydale area. When asked about the chevron, Smit said he would like to see it separated from the federation and will work toward a referendum to bring about separation. Although he indicated tion commission results, would go ahead without

Smit said he would prepare the referendum in consultation with council and representatives from the Chevron staff. He also said he would like to write regular federation news stories for the chevron and he would hold press conferences for reporters from all campus newspapers. -stephen

Price hikes hit tenants The Married Students Residences are being hit with a 120 per cent increase in the cost of laundry facilities and the Tenants Association there resents it. This will be just one of the first measures taken by the University to recover an accumulated $77,000 deficit on operations, and it will be f&lowed by a “substantial rent increase next year,” Dr. \Eydt, Warden of residences, tbld the chevron on Sunday. He will be recommending a 15 to 20 per cent rent increase for next May. The increase of washing machine charges from$.25 to$.35 and on the dryers from a free service to $. 10 for 20 minutes was decided on as a means of raising an estimated $8,000 in revenue this financial year. (Since the coin machines are not available for the washing machines now, and will probably not be installed until January at the earliest, the actual revenue will be lower than the $8,000 estimate. The coin machines will be on the dryers by November 1.) Linda Ross, the treasurer for the Tenants Association, pointed- out that, since the increase will be affecting residents with children, and hence extra laundry, more than

others, it is in effect “a disproportionate tariff.” For people with children this will be like “raising the rent $10” and, she added, “you just don’t hit people with a $10 increase in the middle of their budget year.” _ Ross said that the administration did not even consult the residents first. The Tenants Association would have been willing to accept a small charge on the dryers SO that people would be more careful to “conserve energy,” but the University just went ahead, “made their own administrative decisign,” and refused to change it. Samuel Flores, the co-ordinator for the Tenants Association, said the dryers will be even more expensive than those in a laundramat since the dryers in Married Students are not heavy duty machines and will require more time to dry the clothes. Bruce Gellatly, vice-president finance and operations, said he recognized that “their (the residents’) points are entirely valid,” but “I don’t see what ,else we can do.” He argued that if some of the revenue were not recovered now, next.year’s residents would have to bear “even more of an increase” to make up the deficit. Gellatly agreed that the costs for laundry would I be distributed disproportionately, but, he stated, this “is true of any regressive tax.” Both Ross and Flores recognized that the administration had been hit with a number of unexpected cost increases this year. Flores listed the main ones as an increase in the property tax of $25,000 this year and the $21,000 loss on the approximately 60 apartment vacancies during the summer, double last year’s rate. However, Flores felt an increase in the cost to the tenants won’t help the situation. As “the rates have g&n& up. . . students are’ disc&raged” from renting. He attributed the high vacancy rate during the summer and the existence of vacancies for Januarj/-, the first time Married Students has not had a waiting list for apartments at this time of year, to last year’s rent increase of 9 per cent. He also thought &at the “decline in the number of visa students” on campus would affect occupancy since foreign students account for a

large portion of the residentce’s = occupants. Ross said that “people just can’t live on a student income” in the residences. She pointed out that “graduate income at the University just isn’t increasing at the same rate as the cost of Married Students.” Graduates occupy almost half the apartments there. Dr. Eydt said he “understood their arguments well,” but, he” added, “I also have to deal with the University budget .” The Married Students Residences are building up “an increasing deficit load rather than a decreasing deficit load” which the University can not allow to continue, argued Eydt. He said, “the University can not I bail out the residences because of the provincial goverriment’s principle of “user pay.” from BY “orders-in-council” Queen’s Park, the University can not pay for “ancillary services”. The residences must be selfsupporting, and therefore, he said, he “must present some scheme to the Board of Governors to balance the budget *” He noted that the increase in vacancy rates was a noticeable trend in almost all University-run apartment complexes across the province. Yet, Ross pointed out, the other schools had a decrease in enrolment while UW’s “enrolment has not dropped.” What will we do at Waterloo if the vacancy rates continue to rise and the deficit isn’t made up? “I don’t know ,” said Edyt. Maybe we will be forced to return the complex to Ontario Student Housing if we can’t handle the deficit. In the meantime, another financial problem is looming for the Married Students Residence. Maintenance on windows, furnil ture, cupboards, faucets, etc., which hasn’t been done for seven years, is planned for this year. “It’s a physically cheap complex,” Ross said, which needs the repairs. However, according to Bruce Gellatly, the maintenance costs “might go above” the $300,000 in the capital reserve fund. If it does, there will be an even heavier burden on the residence’s deficit.

Cutbacks\ hurt all over

Queen’s, students are facing a significant residence fee hike this year. Winnipeg students will see a rise in tuition fees next year. U of T graduates are being forced to accept a cut in health services. WLU students are writing exams in the Turret Pub for lack of any other space and BC students will have to put up with shorter library hours. A brief review of University campus papers reveals students, faculty and staff are faced with cutbacks affecting the quality of education, yet student fees keep rising. In the face of governments reducing their spending on education there is even talk of several universities being closed.

Residences Residence fees is one area where student? are being asked to pay more. The elimination of government compensatory grants and an increase in taxes on the residences has forced hikes of between 11 and 21 per cent on the fees for Queen’s living quarters. TheUniversity of Victoria is also facing residence problems. One study shows residence facilities are inadequate, but the BC government feels otherwise and refuses to issue a grant to cover building costs. Loan rates from the Central Mortage Housing Corporation proved too high and it seems students will not be getting the hoped-for additional accommodation. Queen’s has also suggested a cut in internal spending to overcome increasing deficits. This would mean reducing salary increases for continuing academic staff, introducing an early retirement plan and saving resources by ending some term appointments in order to limit long-run commitments and especially to facilitate a reduction in the size of faculty should Queen’s face further financial difficulties. Ryerson may also be forced to

cut its staff, their salaries, and stu-.. . dent class time. Fewer services will also be a result of cutbacks including a reduction in liberal arts courses which they have just begun to offer.

Tuition

hikes

Tuition fee increases has become a trend. In Ontario students had to fork out an extra $100 this year, while in Winnipeg it seems likely that students will have to pay an extra $11 per course. Foreign students were hit by an almost tripling of fees last year and at McMaster, where the Board of Governors refused to charge the increased rate, the university is in search of $200,000 to make up for the provincial grants which it lost as a result. Cutbacks are also forcing the closure of many buildings and the stopping of funding of some services. At University of Toronto students face a reduction in the quality and the number of health services and then will have to pay $3 SO’ per year more for what they got. The Infirmary will be closed at the end of the 197879 year and a reduction in staff for the Psychiatric division or a further increase of $2.50 will take place. Among the buildings being closed down are the Carleton House, a recently-opened and badly-needed campus lounge. A promise by the university led the Carleton House Committee to put several thousand dollars into the project. Al Rodger, a member, is now blaming the University for not bargaining in good faith. In Saskatoon, the Cellar Club, a coffee house, will also be forced to close down. This decision came after assurances from last year’s student union executives that the club was worthwhile and would,be continued in the fall.

The decision came suddenly from the Board of Governors or&y months after a $8500 renovations scheme was approved. For WLU students, cutbacks resulting in the lack of space means they will be writing exams in the Turret pub. The WLU Dining Hall. Also the UW Athletic Complex is booked to hold students during exams. The Student Senate Caucus said they were aware of the difficulties the atmosphere of these places will pose and promises to rectify the matter as soon as space. becomes available.

Libraries Cutbacks also hit the libraries. York faces a library budget cut of $10,000 from May ‘77 to April ‘78. University of Victoria’s McPherson Library will be forced to shorten its hours due to cuts in financing. Students objecting to the new closing time of 6 pm Friday and 11 pm Saturday are prepared to put pressure on the Universitv officials to restore normal hours. Meanwhile the Atlantic Federation of Students has decided to begin a provincial campaign to reveal government involvement in post-secondary education funding in the Maritimes, by seeking support from the University Senates and Boards of Governors where many of the budget decisions originate. Marc Allain, chairperson, believing that these decisions directly affect the quality of education at the Maritime Institutes said students have a right to become involved in decision-making. Many universities have reported a significant drop in enrolment. Higher tuition fees, ‘stricter loan policies and what Statistics Canada figures show to be the worst summer for student employment are all contributing factors. 8 The proposal of two unofficial policies, being discussed with Ontario Council of University Affairs say that the government will fund graduate schools according to quality rather than enrolment, and will tighten standards in granting degrees. And cutbacks may lead Brock, Trent, Lakehead, and Laurentian to close down within seven to eight years according to U of T VicePresident of Research and Planning Harry Eastman. In the midst of all this William Davis said at a recent symposium that too much importance has been placed on a degree and he stressed skilled and technical education as an alternative. -maria

KIlli on war footing

Army beckons A motion passed Ott 17 in Kitchener City council allows municipal employees a two-week leave of absence each year for military reserve duty. Passed in response to a letter Mayor Morley Rosenberg received from Defence Minister Barney Danson, the motion allows employees to take the unpaid leave without having it affect their regular annual vacation entitlement. A similar motion has gone through council on at least two previous occasions and both incidences were at a time of war. In May 1950, one month before the Korean War, employees were offered a similar concession to take part in summer training with the reserves. Also in June 1940 council decided to give three weeks pay to any city employee who enlisted in the armed forces. On this occasion Danson’s letter to Rosenberg states: “ The men and women of the reserves are seeking to play a more active role in support of the regular force. ” The minister asks employers to adopt, “ . . . suitable measures to permit these volunteers to be absent for authorised military training and duty, without jeopardising their job or earning power. . .“. Asked to comment on the minister’s request Rosenberg told the chevron “I don’t really know what he (Danson) intends to do, perhaps he’s going to start some special program.” Kitchener personnel manager Frank Kovrig said “It appears to me he (Danson) is trying to revive an interest in the military reserves because he doesn’t think there are enough of them.” Since the motion was passed Kovrig has discovered only 3 of the city’s _l,lOO employees are members of the reserves.’ To date none of them have asked for time off to do training, he said. According to Danson’s press secretary Commander Don Lory , the letters represent a personal, “and very sincere attempt,” by the minister to strengthen the reserves. Lory told the chevron there is a large review going on of the reserve troops, which stand, at 20,000 strong, and the minister, “would surely like to see a larger reserve force’ ’ . So the letter, which according to another aide, has been very widely distributed to municibalities and companies, is a reminder to emp-

loyers and a request that they take a positive attitude towards the Reserves. It is an attempt to ensure that the volunteers won’t lose their pension plan, job, or seniority if they take time off for training. Lory said the period a reserve may be away from work can vary from a half a day to three years. Another ministry aid, who asked not to be identified, told the chevron the problem was that unlike the US there was no law in Canada which guaranteed a volunteer compensation while on active duty. Such a law, however, is under consideration the aid said. Danson has also recently announced his intention to introduce legislation which would force all reservists to join the regular forces in the event of war. This latest move by the minister comes at a time when the government has been greatly increasing the militarization of Canada., A campaign is on for a 5,000 increase in the armed forces. Also Danson has introduced a paramilitary training scheme for Canada’s youth called Katimavik. The program, which involves young people working for a year for $1 a day in spartan conditions, was immediately dubbed in the press as “ Barney’s Brownshirts”. More recently there has even been talk of conscription into the military. Meanwhile the defence budget has been boosted so that Canada’s top brass have been promised a 12 per cent increase in the defence budget for the next five years, and the government expects to spend over $16 billion on weapons over the next 15 years. Some 128 tanks, 150 fighter aircraft, and 20 warships are among the major items in a very long shopping list. Plus Danson has on order 700 armoured cars, 350 of which are expeeted to be in operation by 1978 at a cost of around $160 million. When this purchase was announced last April The Toronto Sun commented “The only realistic use for so many armoured cars is for possible domestic disorders”. Claims by Danson that they would be useful in a civil capacity to rescue stranded motorists in winter snow storms were dismissed by the avowedly right-wing Toronto daily. -neil

hearing:

chevron exposes pre-closure

Fed schemes ._‘..

Torrie, but because of a conspiracy sometime in the summer or early September. He cited a memo from Dave McLellan, then federation vicepresident, to the executive board concerning a chevron‘staff meeting August 3, 1976 at which the removal of Rodway as editor was discussed.

The chevron presentation to the investigation commission last Thursday looked like something from cloak and dagger thriller: a conspiracy to “steamroller” the chevron to purge political enemies, a man too principled to accept a deal, a picture from a mysterious source being shown to influence first-year students, and a society president being taken to a downtown camera shop to have the evils of communism explained to him.

The memo criticises the then production manager Neil Docherty and chevron staffer Larry Hannant and recommends possibly cutting off Docherty’s salary, calling an investigation by Canadian University Press, and alerting concerned staff, hoping they will resolve the problem. Heather Robertson, Environmental Studies councillor iri the Fall of 1976, testified that federation fieldworker Diana Clarke had expressed concern to her in early

According to chevron delegation member Gerard Kimmons the purpose of the chevron’s presentation was to reveal the truth behind the conflict. He addressed himself first to the evidence which suggested that the paper’s closure did not occur because of a crisis caused by the September 24 resignations of editor Adrian Rodway and Board of Publications chairperson Ralph

September about “the situation in the chevron” and had said that “some of us are thinking of doing something about it”. Kimmons then quoted from a letter sent to him by Donna Rogers, an Arts councillor at the time of the closure. “I was out of the country all summer, but when I re-turned in September, Don Orth, Board of Co-op Services Chairperson, informed me that Shane was going to try to close the paper, and that he (Roberts) had attempted during the summer to prevent either Neil Docherty or Larry Hannant from assuming any position of importance on the chevron staff.” Orth when called to testify said he first learned of the possibility of closing the paper at an informal gathering at the home of Mike Ura, then Board of External Relations

Anti-imperialist Alliance spokesperson Doug Wahlsten made a brief presentation to the chevron Investigation Commission Monday evening. From left to right: Commissioner Deineke Chan, Commission Chairperson Frank Eplj and Doug Wahlsten. photo by john w bast

A/A gives politica/ b

The chevron investigation cornission held its final hearing Monday night when Doug Wahlsten testified for the Anti-Imperialist Alliance (AIA), a campus MarxistLeninist organization. Wahlsten said that he was giving a political analysis of the chevron affair rather than giving a position on the facts surrounding it. He said-the chevron closure was merely part of a long campaign of harassment to try to suppress AIA activity and views. He outlined briefly the history of persecution of AIA members and supporters: professors Jeff and Marsha Forrest and Marlene Webber were fired; Wahlsten was investigated by the RCMP and subsequently denied citizenship: Roberts organised a disruption of a political economy conference held by AIA and was thrown out, after which the federation withdrew all I support without conducting an investigation; the Gazette in April of 1976 ran a feature on AIA in which Shane Roberts, then federation president, listed the membership; the chevron closure, with the accompanying anti-communist hysteria; and the RCMP raid on the Norman Bethune Institute ifi which most of the charges were dropped for lack of evidence. Wahlsten said the closure was not an isolated incident but rather the result of a long campaign by

analysis

Roberts, Telegdi and others, and the Canadian state. He noted how the UW administration had assisted Roberts in his harassment of the chevron. Wahlsten said AIA was not complaining about the harassment, that it could expect nothing else ‘because of its stand against the rich minority. Addressing the accusation that AIA had taken over the paper he said the actual situation in staff at that time and now was that there were both Marxist-Leninists and opportunists (those who called themselves socialist but who were not Marxist-Leninists) on the paper. However, there was also a large middle section of people not familiar with political theory, and the struggle was to win these people over. “This is how AIA operates,” said Wahlsten, “we get up right in public and give our views and try to convince people that our views are correct. ” He ‘noted that two of the major members of the opportunist section went to work for the Gazette, leaving Adrian Rodway quite isolated. He said that the Marxist-Leninists, although still a minority, were in a position to win over the middle section on some questions. He denounced as McCarthyism the practice of the anti-communists

of calling the ordinary students from the-middle section of staff AIA members because they vqtet with AIA on certain issues. He referred specifically to Steve Izma’s submission to the commission and to Randy Barkman’s letter in the Gazette. Wahlsten said the chevron was never the organ of AIA, but was a means of getting their view across. He said that there was often opposition to their material and that they didn’t get many features into the paper but there was never total exclusion of their view. Wahlsten also showed that a takeover of the paper would be against the line of AIA. He said that just before the closure they had been studying Hardial Bains’ book “What is the Issue?“, which states: “You can’t have a mass orgainsation of students which is based bn the revolutionary theory of Marxism-Leninism Mao-Tsetung Thought. Student organisations that are mass in character are necessarily non-party organisations.” He reiterated that the chevron should not be a Marxist-Leninist organ but should instead take up and unite students around the line of defending the basic interests of the students. He said the communists lead in this, and that is why they were attacked. -jonathan

Chairperson, when then federation Kimmons went on to show the vice-president Dave McLellan anti-communist attitude in Roberts and others. He cited Shane asked his opinion on closing the Roberts’ ‘presidential campaign chevron. Orth said he was sure that one statement of January, 1976 in which he declares his opposition to other executive member at that the AIA, calling them “a clique of time knew of the plans to close the self-styled Maoists” and accusing chevron, his roomate Franz Klingthem of exploiting issues for their ender, then chairperson of the own “opportunistic and political Board of Education. purposes.” He also said they gave When asked why he supported students a bad name in the comthe closure at the September 24 executive meeting he said “I guess 1 munity .

WCB treatment ’ of injured workers sparks protest The Workmen’s Compensation -Board has been under fire all week as local workers and students picketed outside its downtown offices on Frederick St. The demonstrators, carrying pickets saying, “Stop the Slaughter of the Workers”, and “The W.B.C. is a gang of murderers”, are friends and supporters of Erhard Keinitz, a worker in Kitchener-Waterloo and the local president of the Union of Injured Workers. Keinitz is on a hunger strike; his third in protest against his and other injured workers’ treatment by the WCB and each day he and his wife picket the board’s offices. Iniured twice in the work place and the victim of an unnecessary operation, Keinitz says this will be his last hunger strike - “I won’t be able to hunger any more, 1’11 be in my grave next.” He carries a picket sign which reads, “Dear God, Please forgive the criminals from the Workmen’s Compensation Board and Dr. Fojcik de Aragon. They don’t know what they are doing.” The story of Erhard Keinitz versus the WCB goes back to 1970, when he was working at the Burn’s Meat Packing Plant in Kitchener. He had been working there for approximately six months and was in charge of the condemned carcasses in the beef kill department. Healthy and diseased animals are slaughtered together in the beef kill department. On this particular day, Keinitz was working on a condemned cow which was so badly diseased that the lungs had been transformed into a white liquid cream. It was in the course of moving this carcass that some of the fluid splashed into Keinitz’s face and mouth. The company had no protective gear, so Keinitz was only able to wash his hands and mouth out with disinfectant soap which he had brought from home. In a few days, Keinitz became extremelv ill.. He suffered from chills, sweating, shaking and high fevers. His mouth and lips were swollen and badly blistered. He continued to work however, receiving medication from the company nurse. Keinitz finally went to see a doctor upon the advice of the nurse. Dr. Hilary Fojcik de Aragon examined Keinitz and asserted that there was nothing wrong with him.

Despite the diagnosis of the doctor, Keinitz was forced to remain home from work for two weeks. When he returned to work, he was so ill that he was not able to carry out his tasks correctly and while lifting a box he strained his back. This put him in a rehabilitation centre in Toronto for his back. While at the centre, another doctor x-rayed his chest and commented that there was something on his lungs. His stint in the centre did not help his back problem and left him unable to work at Burns and restricted to temporary light jobs. He received a pension from the WCB of $43.00 per month. In 1973, Fojcik de Aragon said that Keinitz had cancer and that it was necessary that large parts of his lungs be removed, before any operation could be done on his back which he had since injured again on another job. After the operation, Fojcik de Aragon changed her mind and said that Keinitz had histoplasmosis, a disease that comes from working with cows east of the Ottawa Valley near Cornwall. However, Keinitz had never worked in that area of Ontario. The doctor then stated that histoplasmosis was a disease common to Polish people and that Keinitz had brought it with him when he immigrated to Canada. However, when Keinitz immigrated to Canada he was required to have a chest x-ray, which was on file prior to 1970. Later in 1973, Dr. G. Lippert informed Keinitz that in 1970 he had contracted histoplasmosis, which is carried by diseased cattle. He said the lungs would have healed on their own and the operation was unnecessary. Because of the operation, Keinitz is no longer able to work. In 1975, the WCB rejected Keinitz’ claim and appeal for the histoplasmosis. In a letter from the WCB dated July 22, 1975, they stated: “The diagnosis . . .following surgical investigation, was histop-

On the advice of Bette Stephenson, Ontario Labour Minister, Keinitz tried to appeal his case again. He went to the Workmen’s Advisor at the WCB who asked him a few questions and stated that he would take care of everything. An appeal hearing was scheduled for September 7 but has since been changed to December 12. * Doug Roycroft of the Workmen’s Compensation Board said he couldn’t predict what the appeal board would do. “Keinitz will have his opportunity at the appeal board to say what he wants to say. This is a democracy, I haven’t any opinion on what he does.” When Keinitz picketed in front of Roycroft’s window at the WCB he closed the drapes. “I can’t speak for the appeal board ,” he continued, “They will have to ,determine if it’s under our act.” Asked what would happen if it wasn’t included in the WCB Act, Roycroft replied, “Well then, it’s obviously not an occupational hazard or an industrial disease.” ~ Keinitz now receives $196 a month from the WCB. He states that all injured workers feel as he does, that when they go to bed at night they don’t want to wake up in the morning. Meanwhile Keinitz and his friends continue to picket the WCB and plan a demonstration for noon today.

Federation president Rick Smit ’ was spared nothing at his first council meeting Wednesday. He encountered screaming, swearing and general disorder not to mention a call for his immediate resignation. After the meeting, Smit told the chevron “it (the meeting) started out with good intentions, and I felt a lot of councillors came there with a positive attitude to get things done.’ But I felt there was one obstruction in council, and I feel that obstruction is Larry Smylie”. Smit continued “I feel that he (Smylie) is being counterproductive and we’ve got enough problems in this university without Larry Smylie running around making more. ” Smylie’s actions at the meeting included trying to make a motion during the question period regarding Tuesday’s election. Despite the fact that motions are not made during the question period, Smylie forced a lengthy debate on whether his motion was in order at that time. The speaker eventually ruled that the motion was in order. However, the motion was immediately killed by a motion of nonconsideration. Smylie had moved that Margaret Kerr and Don Salichuk be disqualified from the Tuesday elections for violation of the election regulations (see separate story). During the report of the chief returning officer, Environmental Studies councillor Janet Rokosova became hysterical. Council had reacted to her repeated demands that Kerr and Salichuk be disqualified with laughter and Rokosova accused council of behaving like a “kindergarten class”. When Smit chastised Rokosova for equating council with a kindergarten class she screamed “I’m the one who gets cut down eh? I’m the one who goes to every meeting and I boil! But you’ve never raised your mouth against anybody else in this council chamber, why is that president Smit? Because (inaudible) money in’your pocket? You’re not a president, you’re a puppet government !’ ’ Smit asked Rokosova to calm. down or to leave the room to “collect” herself. Rokosova complained that Smit was being unfair, and shouted at him “What kind of president is that? You’re already abrogating the mandate the people gave you. I demand your resignation right this minute, Smit!” Prior to council consideiing the ratification of the federation executive, Smylie attempted to abort the meeting with a quorum call. Several councillors had left the room, but before quorum was called council speaker Mauro Mavrinac declared a five minute recess. Smylie left the meeting at that point with Rokosova and Integrated Studies councillor Sam Wagar. Smylie, Rokosova and Wagar did not return after the recess, and the meeting proceeded smoothly. Smit announced that he is satisfied with the present executive, and the only motions made were to ratify Deborah Fraser as chairperson of the Creative Arts Board, Bruce Rorrison as chairperson of the Board of Entertainment and Steven Kassner as NUS,/OFS liaison officer. Acting on a request from the National Union of Students, council voted to move the federation’s bank accounts to a bank that does not invest in South-Africa. The Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce is known to invest in South Africa, and the federation has accounts with the branch in the campus centre. -nick

Chile meetings planned Human rights in Chile and the resistance of the people to the military dictatorship are the subjects of two different meetings on campus this week and next. The Chilean people are suffering from a grave economic crisis, inflation running at a daily average rate of one perce\nt. 600,000 fewer students are now enrolled because of cutbacks, arrests, and closures of educational institutions. Tommorrow night the K-W Chilean Association will bring the film, The Battle of Chile to campus (Physics 145 at 6:30pm). This is the first showing of the film in the K-W area. The film won the Grenoble Award in 1975 and has been described as the “most complete and honest film of Allende’s government”. (Allende was overthrown bd’,;:;) American sponsored coup The film is being shown to raise money for the “Canadian Enquiry into Human Rights in Chile” being held this weekend in Toronto which is compiling a brief for the UN. The film, documents Allende’s rise to power and the actions of those opposed to him. The record portion of the film deals with the growing contradiction within the government. It also deals with the suppression of the people under the new military junta. The other program on Chile will be held Friday, November 4 in Arts Lecture 105 at 7:30pm. This ,program will feature a member of the People’s Front of Chile, an organization of different Chilean political forces resisting the Pinochet dictatorship. The People’s Front will make a tour of over twenty cities in Canada to report on the current situation in Chile and to raise funds to support the struggle for the overthrow of the Pinochet regime.

look at the purpose and its effectiveness.

PRICES While workers’ wages are forcibly restrained the “Anti-Inflation Board” (AIB), prices continue to increase this year at a faster rate than before Trudeau imposed his “prices and incomes” restraint legislation in October of 1975. In the first six months of 1977, prices of all items increased by 4.8 percent, as measured by the Consumer Price Index, or at an annual rate of 9.16 percient. In the same period of 1975, just a few months prior to the imposition of the controls, prices increased by 4.6 percent, for an annual rate of 9.2 percent. For food products, the difference between this year and 1975 is even more startling. So far this’ year, food prices have risen by 7.6 percent, or at an annual rate of 15.2

percent. In the same period of 1975, food prices rose by 5.6 percent, or at an annual rate of 11.2 percent. At the same time that this rise in prices took place, the “AIB” has restrained wages. In the first quarter of this year, for instance, while the Consumer Price Index rose at an annual rate of over 11 percent, wage settlements increased by only 8.6 percent.

- WAGES Real wages are declining. The 1atest figures available are for July and show an increase in labour income (wages and salaries) of 0.3 percent. At the same time the government stated that The Consumer Price Index had risen 0.9 percentin* July. On September 27, the “AntiInflation Board” released statistics dealing with the decisions of the board in rolling back wage increases. The figures of the board show how wages have been rolled back and how about one quarter of a million workers’ wages are being

held back to 5.4 percent until October 1978. The most optimistic analysts are predicting a much higher inflation rate for the period. Two methods that are used to maintain a high profit rate are to raise prices and to lower wages. In the first quarter of this year profits rose by 16.1 percent and by a further II percent for the second quarter from the same time last year. Table 2 shows: 1) the average percentage wage increases proposed in over-guideline cases dealt with by the Board; 2) the average arithmetic guideline which the AIB applied to those cases; and 3) the average wage increase approved by the Board. The breakdown is by program years, including preprogram cases where settlements were still under negotiation on October 14, 1975, but took effect retroactively prior to that date. -salah Continued

and Salichuk “totally failed to remove their election material from the Arts lecture hall and Modern Languages building.” Rokosova then asked MacDonald if the Arts Society believes that Kerr and Salichuk “can represent the Arts faculty and society in a responsible and accountable manner when they have already failed to be responsible and accountable to election regulations.” MacDonald replied that the society does not, and continued “Neither one ofthem has seen fit to come down to the Arts Sot office to talk to us about anything at all, and we would support any motion calling for a by-election in Arts.”

Salichuk told council that he could only “think of ten, maybe a dozen, posters that were left up across campus.” He explained that it was an oversight that the posters were not removed. Todd told council that eight of his posters remained up past the deadline for removal. Wheatley told council that the regulations do not require him to disqualify the candidates, although it is one of his options. Wheatley decided not to disqualify them because he does not feel that the posters affected the outcome of the

elections. The posters were removed by lo:30 am Tuesday, one hour after the polls opened. Many councillors voiced agreement with Wheatley that the breach of election regulations does not warrant disqualification because of the large margins by which Kerr and Salichuk won their seats. Council voted to accept Wheatley’s report on the elections, and thereby ratified the new councillors including Kerr and Salichuk. -nick

With the wind advantage, York took a commanding 3-O lead over Waterloo .in the first half of their soccer match last Sunday. Waterloo came back in the second half, hitting the past and crossbar before scoring on Luigi Circelli’s penalty shot. York miraculously managed to keep out many close ones for the rest of the game, despite a valiant effort by the Warriors.

The final score was 3-l for York. This gave York a first place finish, and eliminated Waterloo from the OUAA playoffs this year. Even with this loss in Waterloo’s last league game of the year, the Warriors will be in the Canadian university championships. They are hosting Canada’s best scholarly soccer players, right here in Waterloo, Nov. 11, 12, 13. : 7

Hockey

The men’s Competitive hockey has gotten off to a fairly good start this term. There were 38 teams wanting entries in this term’s competition, however, due to lack of ice time only 36 teams could be accommodated. There are 10 teams in the A division and 26 in the B. The first games were played on Tuesday, October 18 at McLaren Arena. The opening match was a close game .with Nameless edging the Cutsets by a score of 3-2. In another close match that evening, Recreation slipped past Conrad Grebel 3-2. The other 2 games saw the Coca’s Nuts defeat the Panthers 4-2, while 3B Mech trounced Science B 5-1. McInnes turned in a fine performance for 3B Mech, with a hat trick. On Wednesday, October 19, Arts battled to a 2-l victory over Renison while the Longshots bombed St. Jeromes B 5-1.

Tournament

The A league opened its competition on Wednesday as well, with the Flamin’ A’s bowing to Wrecking Crew 6r4. Mulligan added the final tally for the Wrecking Crew in an empty net with only one second remaining in the game. On Friday afternoon there were four games played. The Jets edged BCCM 5-4 while Sunnydale whipped Optometry B 4-l. The Rockers battled to a 2-2 tie with Co-op and Plumbers Pick forfeited their game to Alufawhore. On Sunday, October 24, two games were played. St. Jeromes edged the Plumbers Best while Wrecking Crew skated to their second victory of the season. They defeated V2 South 2-O. J. Hanning starred in the game scoring 7 times for Wrecking Crew. For those people interested, the weekly standing will be posted in the Intramural Office.

The men’s Intramural Basketball league is into its third week of competition with a total of 55 teams participating. There are 2 A leagues with a total of 11 teams participating, and the reamining 44 teams are divided into 11 B leagues. Games are played on Sunday afternoons and evenings and Monday nights in the PAC. The competition is so close in A league that only one team remains undefeated. Alufahons boast a perfect record while Firehouse, St. Jeromeg and Dromaderies, Conrad Grebel also appear very strong. Twine Teasers looked very impressive in their last outing and could also present a chal-

So if you want to see some good competitive basketball, just drop over to the PAC on Sunday or Monday nights, the teams have been known to entertain many a crowd.

The weather was great, the track in good shape and the performances showed it. Five or six teams broke last year’s recofd set by St. Pauls (26:39.5). This year’s winners were from Village 1 West Pat Plante, John Johnston, David Warnicce, and Andre Riopel. They finished in a record time of 23:U.O. The times were all very fast thanks to Stephanie O’Hannesin and Guy Caporicci for their help in officiating.

Speaking relatively

It happens all the time; people misunderstand people. We converse with one another on what we believe to be the same topic, and sometimes we even arrive at a satisfactory feeling of “having really accomplished something in that conversation” (although we may not be quite sure of just what) only to discover sooner or later and often to our embarrassment that we’ve actually been discussing two separate subjects. That, in a nutshell, is the theme of Relatively Speaking, a fast and funny comedy by British playwright Alan Ayckbourn, which opened on Tuesday evening to a small gut responsive audience in the Theatre of the Arts. Notice that glib phrase, “fast and funny”? Sometimes the cliches just sneak out of the pen and hurl themselves smack down in the middle of a sentence. It would be much more precise to call this play a superficial comedy. Its plot hinges on a highly improbable situation resulting from characters failing to explicitly say what they mean. And this week’s production, although undeniably funny, is not, by any stretch of the imagination, fast. In an effort to tighten pp the play . and to develop its momentum, di, rector John Plank wisely deleted several passages from the first act. Perhaps he should have trimmed it down even more; the show runs a full two hours on ninety minutes worth of humour. Despite the slow pace of a first act burdened with a cumbersome and distracting scene change, the production will, before the end of the second scene, capture and keep your attention. The show’s success comes partly from the maximum audience contact available to a small cast only four characters in this play but mostly it comes (natch!) from the way the actors act. They’re all convincing; they appear to be seasoned actors at home in front of an audience. In ludicrous, improbable

situations, the characters you see on stage are believeable people. The plot involves two couples. Greg and Ginny, impetuous young lovers, are played by Treb Allen (associated with ‘*KW Little Theatre) and Chris Broga (the only U of W student in the cast). The roles of Philip and Sheila, middle class and middle aged, are handled by George Joyce (local<chool teacher) and Tessa Gillard (another member of KW Little Theatre.) Gillard and Joyce make a perfect couple: she the simple housewife, doting and dependent, he the scheming husband, paunch and pompous. They both render solid performances, know their characters, and are always comfortable in their roles. Broga and Allen, however, are not quite allowed to make “a perfect couple’ ’ , much less a perfect anything in the first scene. In addition to being required by the plot to treat Greg and Ginny’s relationship with suspicion, Broga and Allen simply have to struggle into their roles and into. the play. As the only actors on stage for the first twenty minutes, they not only have to make initial contact with their characters, but they also have to engage the attention of the audience. And they do remarkably well, considering that they have to accomplish both these goals while attempting to cope with poor blocking, terrible traffic patterns, and a disastrous set design. Don’t get me wrong. The set itself is attractive; it very effectively depicts a one room flat belonging to a carefree young woman. The problem is not in the execution of the design, but rather in the design itself. John Plank, the former assistant artistic director atratford, should have scrapped those flimsy awkward flats and should have found a more creative way of setting the atmosphere in the first scene. There’s no need to require actors to scramble over structural supports when making an exit behind the

Canadian theatre grows up

\ ’

The year is 1935 - the height of the depression - and Max Brown is leaving home behind him as the train rolls into Willowgreen Saskatchewan. Max is to be the new school teacher in a multi-grade single room schoolhouse. The job is said to be so miserable that most people only last a month, and Max is predicted to not even last this long. He is lacking any of the sharp edges the prairie wind creates. A city boy, suit and tie, thrust into a rural nowhere. But Max Brown proves to be of stronger stuff. He learns to handle his (sometimes rebellious) students - in the end he even gains their respect. It is a process of growing up and learning from the other. An other problem is the weather. Constantly cold, Max runs behind the sled to keep from getting frostbite. He ‘wraps himself in many blankets at night so when his small woodburning stove burns out in early night, he doesn’t freeze. ’ Reb’ellious students, the cold, and little money (Clearing $20 a month in promissory notes) - nothing defeats him. He lasted out the year and comes back for more. “Why Shoot the Teacher” is a very honest and beautiful film. Finally, English Canadian cinema is does not growjng up. “Teacher” follow the plastic exaggeration of. Hollywood, as most English Canadian films do. Neither does it strive toward the often pretentious cinema of Quebec. What remains is a tastefully underdirected film of quality. A slice of Canadiana. The time period -

pre-war depression. The location - one which is engrained in most Canadians minds - the flat, windand snow-swept prairies. The action in the film is refreshing in that it is easy to envision the actors as real people partaking in real life situations. Samantha Eggar plays a British woman trying to cope with prairie isolation. She tries to check herself whenever she gets down on Canpda but her new life keeps eating her up: “Oh, don’t get me wrong, Canada’s a nice country . . . in the spring, sometimes.” Eggar, much frailer than her rGle in “The Collector” (65), plays the part well, giving the audience a feeling of claustrophobia. Bud Cort, as Max Brown, underplays his reactions to the situations he finds himself in. The director (Sirvio Narizzano) never milks a response from his audience, and Cort is able to use facial expressions to great advantage to express Max’ s fellings . Classroom disruption sequences are not marred by the usual overexaggerations. This is not to say that “Why Shoot the Teacher” is slow paced or dtill. There are many bright, imaginative, and humourous moments. There is a wild chase for gophers, with the government sponsoring the event to the tune of a penny a tail. At a community dance, that lasts well into the morning, Max is flung around the room by the local (f&t) housewives and later punched out after a fist fight.

flats. And instead of asking his audience to imagine a veritable kitchen behind a tiny decorative partition, he could easily have replaced both the flats and the room divider with realistic looking portable props. Rather than designing a set that conflicts with the design of the stage, this director should have used Waterloo’s replica of the Stratford stage to its maximum potential. If anyone on this campus should be aware of the advantages atid disadvantages of a t hruSt stage, that person should be John Plank. In spite of these disadvantages, however, Broga and Allen perform admirably; they draw the audience into, the intimacy of Greg and Ginny’s relationship, and develop a well-paced humour which the entire cast is able to expand in the following scenes. And fortunately, that first scene with all its frustrations is only on the stage for a small portion of the total running time. Welcome relief from, and pleasant contrast to this scene’s awkward set is provided in the following set which remains on stage for the rest of the play. Another credit to designer Earl Steiler’s good taste, this simple but elegant set brings to the stage the freedom and spaciousness of a country garden. Instead of intimidating and inhibiting the actors, it graciously accepts the proper role of a set - a backdrop visually enhancing the believeability of the characters on stage. And there you have it, folks! That’s about how it appeared on Tuesday night. In spite of a few flaws, it was a good show then, and it will likely even be better, even smoother, tonight. For a couple of bucks you’ll be getting not only a well-written play with lots of opportunity for hearty laughter, but also some fine acting and an opportunity to observe free lance director John t Plank’s craftsmanship on the stage of our very own ThFatre of the Arts. -philip aaron bast The film digs deep into the depression period. Families have a hard time providing food for their families. A local family has to forclose its farm and the father is too proud to accept a collection from the community. One farmer in the movik starts a campaign against “poverty in the midst of plenty.” He tells of the benefits of William Aberhart’s Social Credit Government in Alberta. The Social Credit party was promising $25 a nionth (funny money) to every person, and advocated the abolition of all debts. Some scoffed the radical new party off as being communist but farmers’ parties were becoming popular in Central North America as a result of the depression. The Co-operative Commonwealth Federation (CCF, later NDP) was born during the time frame of the movie and became the dominant party in Saskatchewan in 1944 For awhile the “socialist” CCF and the “reformist capitalist” Social Credit party had common policies. Both opposed eastern financial control and favoured immediate action to save farms from forclosures. (Tommy Douglas even considered himself Social Credit for a time during this -period). “Why Shoot the Teacher” is a visually beautiful picture. The cinematography is sharp; one is left with a vision of open skys and desolate landscapes, broken only by a solitary school house, a lone horse and carriage, or car. The film might bring back the past for your parents and could prove to be a new and worthwhile experience for yourself. It deserves at least a .078 out of 20 on the James Wark scale. A film of rare class. -randy

Chicago XI an improvement Chicago XI cannot touch the sparkling melodic coherence of the songs which graced volumes 1 and II; but it does go a long way toward reversing the disturbing trend of volumes III to X in which two or three prime cuts got stranded among a great deal of bland fodder. The eleven tracks here represent a return of sorts to the jazz-blues roots of the earlier records. While >there is nothing as tough as “I’m a Man” or “South California Purples,” “ Takin’ It On UptoFn,” with Terry Kath scraping a peculiarly psychadelic solo from the guitar, does recall, if not recapture the band in its incipient stages.

Another song, the breezy “Take Me Back To Chicago,” carries an interesting double meaning (the cover of XI is an enlarged map of the Chicago area). As-Peter Cetera sings3 “Take me back to Chicago. . ./Remember me at my best,” one has to wonder whether he is referring to the place or the music. The rest of the LP runs the gamut from ballads to light-hearted political satire. “Baby What a Big Surprise” is particularly catchy and should become a hit single. There’s even an extended three part suite dedicated to drummer Danny Seraphine’s new-born daughter. Although it isn’t completely successful, the tasteful string and horn arrangements are impressive and enjoyable. -john

r-out concert at UW l

It’s unfortunate that few record , companies allow their artists to have artistic control over the music they record. Philo Records is one of the few companies which allows their artists to have total artistic control, and the results are astonishing. Two of Philo’s artists will be on campus Sunday and they will be playing in concert at the Theatre of the Arts at 8:30 pm. Jim Ringer and Mary Mcqaslin have each recorded three albums for Philo and they have toured together for the past three years playing to packed houses in the United States. Mary McCaslin tries to appeal to a wide audience, and she says the following about her music: “1 don’t exclusively do songs 1 write, I’m a singer-songwriter, but there’s too many other good songs around. 1 want to pretty-much gear myself to anyone that will listen, not an exclusively folky audience. As a folksinger you can do any-

thing. I’m more of a guitar-singer than a folksinger. Most of my arrangements are based around my guitar.” Each of their albums have received excellent reviews and the following examples should illustrate the quality of their recordings. Country Style Magazine had this to say about Mary: “If there’s a God in heaven, Mary McCaslin will be ‘discovered’ but quick.. . she writes superbly.” About Jim Ringer, Country Style wrote: “A voice like rock and rye, a tidy guitar. . . he writes with a droll sense of humour. . . a very human record. ” The Montreal Gazette wrote “Country Folk at its best. . . the best of the last couple of years’ ’ . Sunday’s concert will bring to this area a type of music that has received little exposure over the past few years, and it will be a concert well worth hearing. -david

“As far as the attempt to influence elections,” he continued, “this is the one thing where if you could brand someone as an AIA candidate and then if you brought in somebody else they’d have a better chance right off the start, because there were some people in staff who really didn’t know very much about AIA but were convinced that it was up to no good and they were better with somebody else.” “The important thing,” he stres-

contacted him the night before the September 30 council meeting. “He attacked the AIA, basically, and told me how evil they were, and that I should support Shane and rid the chevron and the campus of the AIA” said Morrison. He recounted another incident a week later when Telegdi took him to Joe Surich’s camera shop in Waterloo. “He wanted Joe to give me more examples of how corrupt and evil the AIA was, and in fact Joe did’ this. He cited examples of corruptness and how they’d overthrow everything and bring down turmoil not only to campus but they could lead a whole political revolt in all of Canada if the engineers didn’t step in and kick them off campus.” Docherty explained that Surich apart from owning a camera shop, is a UW political science professor active in the local NDP. He was a candidate in the last election. At a meeting held to oppose the political firing of Marsha Forest in 1975, said Docherty, Surich and Roberts were the only people who did not oppose the firings. Also, he wrote an article in the federation publication Bullseye, purporting to give insight into “what has occurred at Waterloo around the AntiImperialist Alliance and its many front organizations” .

Kimmons then drew the commissioners’ attention to a campaign conducted in Engineering. He read a statement from a person who joined the paper in the fall of 1976 which stated that Manny Brykmann, then federation treasurer, showed a large first-year Engineering class a picture of a demonstration in which AIA members took part and pointed out four AIA members who were also on the chevron staff. Orth said Roberts had told him a little boy delivered the picture’s to his door one night, saying he had been paid a quarter to do so. Hanrahan said he had heard thro.ugh former federation fieldworker Diana Clarke, and discussion confirmed as the general understanding, that the pictures came from the RCMP. Kimmons also recalled the special conference of the Ontario region of Canadian University Press. Representatives of the member paper repeatedly asked Roberts to list people who had complained to him about the paper. He did not do this but rather listed the chevron staff and told which ones he believed were in AIA. These he had divided into three categories: members, people “curious” about AIA, and people who attend their events. “When really faced with these charges they fell apart, but the critical point was AIA, and AIA on the paper,” said Kimmons, “and it wasn’t just a crime to be an AIA member, but to be curious about it or even attend their events. . . it clearly shows the thinking of Roberts.” Docherty summed up the chevron presentation by saying that anti-communism was not the sole reason for the chevron closure. He said that in past years Roberts and his clique were able to control the paper because there were no regular staff meetings and no minutes were kept. On this point he referred the commissioners to statements by former staffer Doug Ward. In 1976, said Docherty, this was changed. Regular meetings and keeping of minutes was reestablished, new people joined and the paper was controlled through democratic means. “Roberts was not prepared to go through those channels, he said, “he actually feared that the AIA people on the paper could instigate a mass movement.” A mass movement on issues such as education cutbacks, said Docherty, was in direct opposition to Roberts’ line of “write your MP”. “By September 1976 Roberts had lost control of the paper.” -jonathan coles

Is Marxism a science?

Mr. B. Chan commented on. my article “Marxism or Christianity” (Chevron, Sept. 30, 1977) with a feedback article “Marx, not Christianity” (Chevron, October 21, 1977). Mr. Chan writes (and I quote): “All modern science is based on materialism which is advancing rapidly, including the science of Marxism-Leninism. , . .But Marxism not Christianity is the science which makes a better world possible”. Firstly, I think that neither Marxism nor Christianity makes a better world possible in the sense that they contribute directly to a better material existence. This is done through the Industrial Revolution made possible by the Scientific Revolution. I don’t know what Mr. Chan’s definition of modern science is. Modern science is for me, experimental science, invented by Galileo, Newton and Pascal in, the seventeenth century. All three were believing Christians, not humanists and definitely not materialists. Modern science was born out of the Christian view that the world was created by a reasonable God. Consequently, there is no basic discrepancy between experimental science and Christiani ity . Experimental science is an extension of Greek science. It requires both a rigorous experimental proof for a theory and a rigorous mathematical description for the behaviour of nature. Even though some scientific theories of the Greeks were based on observations, Greek science required a logical proof of a theory only, and mathematics was generally not developed in conjunction with it. It is interesting to note, that even though Aristotle is the formulator of logic, most of his scientific theories did not survive the test of experimental science. I have tried to show in my article entitled “Debate on Christiapity vs. Marxism”, (Chevron, October 21, 1977) that philosophy is based on intuition of man since basic ideas cannot be deduced by logic. (It would have been more appropriate to call in the article the book “Beyond Freedom and Dignity” a Skinner “propositi.on” rather than a “primer.) Marx has stated that communism as fully developed naturalism equals humanism, which is a philosophy. Marxism does not fit the category of modern science given by me above. It has been classified as a social science, which is quite different as I will show below. But let me first demonstrate the methods and limitations of experimental science when it is applies in its most rigorous form to the analysis of dead matter. Experimental science is based on the imagination of men, since (contrary to popular belief) the basic theories and laws of science can not be deduced by a process of deductive reasoning. This is the reason why experimental sicence has revealed to men mainly “ how’ ’ matter behaves but not uniquely “why” matter behaves. Let me explain. Experimental science has been developed on a trial and error basis using a systematic, logical sequence of theoryexperiment-theory-experiment . . . , in which theories have changed experiments and experiments theories. The theories developed to explain “why” matter behaves in its way are conceived by a process of imagination. Let me give an example. In order to explain why the moon remains in orbit around the earth and why free objects fall towards the earth, Newton , imagined that invisible forces attract masses to each other. He called these forces gravitation, but stated that he did not know where they come from. (Contemporary scientists still don’t know.) Newton proceeded to derive a mathematical relationship between the visible masses and these invisible forces, and established his famous

universal law of gravitation. It is still valid, since to date it is supported by experimental evidence. But one should never forget that gravitational forces (and forces in general) are concepts formulated through the imagination of Newton. Forces are not real, they exist only in the minds of scienwho represent them tists and engineers, symbolically by drawing arrows. Forces can not be measured directly, but have to be calculated. Since theories of experimental science are based on the imagination of men, it is logical to conclude, that an alternative theoretical framework can be invented to answer the question “why” dead matter behaves in its way. We use the current framework since to date it is accurate, convenient and useful. But it will change as more and better ideas and experiments become available. . The systematic method of experimental science has to be used with caution if applied to investigate actions of living men. Man is not consistent like dead matter. Each man acts differently, reacts differently to different causes and acts different at different times. Dead matter behaves consistently in accordance with treatments. In spite of this difference, social scientists have tried to apply the methods of experimental sicence directly to actions of animals and men. Is it surprising then that (probably out of necessity) their basic assumption is, that man is consistent in his actions (and consequently also in his thinking) and that man behaves rather than acts or does things? Since man is not consistent, there can never be a rigorous proof in the experimental scientific sense of the theory of Marx and Engels that “man’s ideas, view and conceptions changes with every change in the conditions of his material existence”. And even if this proof existed, the theory would remain a human concept, created by the imagination of two men and subject to . change . The same logic applies to Skinner’s theory of operant behaviorism. He also needs an intellectual framework to explain “why” men behave such the choice of action of men is -not free, but determined by the response of his organism to the environment. It is interesting to note that in this case the theory itself contains the assumption that man is consistent, i.e., not free. Skinner uses experimental observations of what he defines as behavior of animals and of what he thinks is behavior of men. He then declares that all animals and humans are behaving creatures. Even if the so-called science of Skinner would be a true experimental science (which it is not), his theories and definitions are merely human concepts subject to changes. In conclusion, I want to state that the development of science and philosophy has clearly shown the limitation of the human intellect and capability: Minds of men can only compare ideas using logic, but can not derive absolute ideas or absolute values. Thus out of necessity, absolutes are formulated by man at his convenience. Man has a choice for the base of his reasoning and actions, will it be the ideas of Marx and Engels or of Skinner, all three denying the existence of the Almighty God, or will it be faith in Christ, the only begotten Son of the Almighty?

Iranian repression One of Iran’s major revolutionary theorists, Nasser Kakhsaz, is reported to be in serious condition following a mysterious “fall” in prison. Comrade Kakhsaz was earlier blinded as a result of brutal torture at the hands of Iran’s notorious SS, SAVAK. Though prison torture has rendered him a physical vegetable, psychologically Comrade Kakhsaz has continued to resist.

Comrade Kakhsaz is the author of An Introduction to Scientific - Socialism, and a founder of the Palestine Group, comprised of Iranian internationalists who assisted Palestinian comrades in their just struggle against Zionism and imperialism. He and other members of the group were arrested in early 1970 while attempting to cross the Iraqi border and join the Palestinian revolution. Kakhsaz and Paknejad, anot her founder of the Palestine Group, were sentenced to life imprisonment with hard labor. In his defense speech, Comrade Paknejad said: “The Iranian ruling elite is putting on trial the solidarity of our people and that of the world with the people of -Palestine . . . We are neither the first group nor the last, in the tribunals of the Iranian Army, for having struggled for liberation and against imperialism. ’ ’ The Iranian regime’s repression has spread, and has worked its way deeper into every aspect of life in Iran. SAVAK’s prisons are overflowing, as the regime pursues its policy of house to house searches. Armed police open fire on crowded streets in an indiscriminate attempt to crush the just opposition of the Iranian people to this conditions in terrorist regime. Economic Iran have worsened; as inflation and unemployment rates soar, the regime continues to spend Iran’s oil revenues on armaments, benefitting Western and particularly U. S. corporations, but condemning the Iranian people to even greater economic hardship. But in the face of terror and repression, in the face of the tyranny of the regime and its attempts to smash any outcry for freedom, the resolute struggles of the people of Iran grows ever stronger, under the leadership of the revolutionary organizations of Iranian People’s Fedaee Guerillas and the Mojahedeen of the People of Iran. And their struggle will ‘continue until the final victory. LONG LIVE THE PEOPLE’S STRUGGLE IN IRAN! DOWN WITH THE SHAH! Iranian Students Association (K-W)

‘3 Worlds’ theory shot After the death of Chairman Mao Tsetung, Chairman of the Communist Party of China and the great leader and teacher of the international proletariat, the right opportunists in China staged a reactionary coup d’etat and seized control of the Party and the state. Both internally and in its external policy, the right opportunists have reversed the Marxist-Leninist line of Chairman Mao Tsetung. They are working to restore capitalism and replace the dictatorship of the proletariat with the dictatorship of the bourgeoisie in China. The seizure of the Party and state leadership in China by the right opportunists is not only a matter of grave concern for the proletariat and people of China, but it is a great setback to the revolutionary class struggle of the international proletariat and the revolutionar cause of the oppressed people and nati Ql s. The right opportunists have been using lies and deceit and sophistry in order to push their revisionism and lead China onto the capitalist road. They call themselves ‘successors’ to Chairman Mao and his ‘loyal’ followers in order to deceive world public opinion, create ideological confusion and bring about capitalist restoration in China. Before Chairman Mao died, there was a vigorousideological campaign against the Right-deviationist wind stirred up by Teng Hsiao-Ping. But after Chairman Mao’s death, the right opportunists have restored Teng Hsiao-Ping. This arch unrepentent capitalist roader is parading himself as the “Vice Chairman” of the great Communist Party of China and, of course, ‘follower’ of Chairman Mao Tsetung.

The right opportunists in China have dished out the anti-revolutionary, antiLeninist theory of ‘three worlds’ in order to attack the world proletarian revolution, disrupt the International Marxist-Leninist Communist Movement and serve the imperialists, social-imperialists and reactionaries of all countries. According to the supporters of the theory of ‘three worlds’ the peoples of the so-called ‘third world’ countries must not fight against the bloody fascist dictatorships of Geisel in Brazil and Pinochet in Chile, Suharto-in Indonesia, the Shah of Iran or the King of Jordan, etc. This is because, according to the theoreticians of ‘three worlds’ ’ , these reactionary forces and regimes are part of the ‘revolutionary motive force’ which is ‘driving the wheel of world history forward.’ According to this theory, the peoples and revolutionaries ‘ ought to unite with the reactionary forces and regimes of- the ‘third world’ and support them. In other words, the peoples and revolutionaries should give up the revolution. According to the supporters of the theory of ‘three worlds’ the proletariat of the countries of Europe, Japan, Canada, etc. - the ‘second world’ countries should not fight the monopoly capitalists and the system of exploitation. They preach that ‘the proletariat in these countries should collaborate and peacefully coexist with their exploiters, the reactionary bourgeoisie. They preach that the proletariat in these countries should take the side of one aggressive superpower, U.S. imperialism and its allies to fight against the other aggressive superpower, Soviet social-imperialism and its allies. In other words, the Canadian proletariat, for example, should give up the revolution. They preach that the Canadian proletariat should give up the struggle to overthrow the capitalist system and ,the U.S. imperialist domination of Canada. According to the supporters of the theory of ‘three worlds’, U.S. imperialism is less dangerous than Soviet socialimperialism. According to them, the U.S. imperialists are no longer aggressive or warmongering. They preach that U.S. imperialism has been weakened, that it is in decline, that it has become a ‘timid mouse’. In short, according to the supporters of the theory of ‘three worlds’, U.S. imperialism is turning peaceful. But facts show the opposite. The recent announcement of the production of a neutron bomb by U.S. imperialism is ample proof that it is just as aggressive and warmongering as Soviet social-imperialism. These theses foster illusions about the aggressive, hegemonic and expansionist nature of both U.S. imperialism and Soviet socialimperialism. The theory of ‘three worlds’ is the theory of capitulation to imperialism, social-imperialism and all reaction and is an attack on the international proletariat, the socialist system and the proletarian revolution, and is designed to cause maximum ideological confusion in the International Marxist-Leninist Communist Movement An ideological struggle against this theory of ‘three worlds’ has broken out. The theory of ‘three worlds’ is openly opposed to the Marxist-Leninist doctrines. The roads which they point to are different. The one leads to revolution, the national and social revolution, while the other leads to the maintenance of the capitalist and imperialist system. One road puts the proletariat at the centre of world revolution, while the other binds the proletariat and peoples to the bandwagon of the bourgeoisie. One road stands for strengthening the Marxist-Leninist communist parties in order to awaken and unite broad masses of the exploited and oppressed, while the other stands for dividing the Marxist-Leninist parties and merging the revolutionary struggle into a front dominated by reactionary trends. Our task is to vigorously oppose this revisionist and opportunist theory of ‘three worlds’. . Anti-Imperialist Alliance

With the theory of the “English-Canadian bourgeoisie asnation’ ’ the reactionary cribes the name “nation” to the AngloCanadian colonial state, and hopes to implicate and to recruit the masses of the people into the programme of the reactionary bourgeoisie and their state for the subjugation of the nation of Quebec. On the other hand, the reactionaries in Quebec are also using the “two nations” theory to enlist the Quebec people against the rest of the Canadian people. All this is part and parcel of the whole propaganda of the bourgeoisie to split and divide the people on all fronts. The fact is that there is one country of Canada within which there is the subjugated nation of Quebec. The British conquered New France in 1760. They imposed their rule by force of arms, and imported their state to Canada in the 1790’s with the founding of York (now Toronto). What does this have to do with an “EnglishCanadian nation” ? It shows that the cause of the subjugation of the nation of Quebec is the Anglo-Canadian colonial state, established as a extension of British colonialism, and today dominated by U.S. imperialism. But all the “two nations” theorists are trying to blackmail the Canadian people by saying they are responsible for the subjugation of Quebec, and therefore they should give up their so-called “privileges” in the interest of “national unity” or else they should support the ‘ ‘ independence’ ’ fraud of Levesque to do penance. The fact is the Anglo-Canadian state is not only the enemy of the nation of Quebec, but it is also the enemy of the proletariat and people of the rest of Canada. The national oppression of Quebec has been the very foundation on which the colonial and oppressor state of Canada was established. Since Confederation, the federal government has sent its army into Quebec on twenty. occasions to suppress the struggles of the proletariat and people against capitalist exploitation, imperialist foreign dominance and for national liberation. And today, the possible intervention of the army of the Canadian state in Quebec and the likelihood of reactionary civil war is a more and more frequently-used theme in the propaganda of the reactionary bourgeoisie throughout the country on the question of “national unity”. The bourgeois press is also preparing reactionary public opinion for this intervention by doing propaganda about the recent creation of a heavily armed Special Service Force of 3,500 soldiers to deal with “civil disorder”. This special force is stationed near the Quebec-Ontario border. On the other hand, Rene Levesque has also talked about the possibility of recruiting “at least a small-scale armed force” in an “independent” Quebec. The reason given by Levesque for the building of that army is that it should be ready to cope with the very same “civil disorder”. All this propaganda is part of the whole atmosphere of hysteria created by the reactionary bourgeoisie that the nation of Quebec should remain subjugated by force of arms for the purpose of “national unity”, that the Quebec nation should not be liberated from the subjugation by the Anglo-Canadian state, and that the working class and people of Canada should continue to live under the rule of the rich. Various people are saying that support for the Parti Quebecois and the demand for independence is support for the aspirations of the people of Quebec for national liberation. However, nothing could be further from the truth! Rene Levesque has time and again proclaimed his loyalty to U.S.

the monopoly capitalist his election victory, he to reassure the U.S. fiof his loyalty to their

domination. Many times he has spoken of the “political independence” of Quebec while repeatedly promising not to work for economic independence. Levesque is, in fact, stepping up the sellout of the natural resources, particularly the rich sources of energy; agreements have been signed with U.S. imperialist power companies for the-export of electricity at cheap prices to the U.S. ‘For instance, Hydro-Quebec recently negotiated a $200 million loan from the New York finance capitalists. This “political independence” has nothing to do with the aspirations of the people of Quebec for national liberation. Levesque is a sellout to U.S. imperialism and a traitor to the nation of Quebec. Like all the ruling circles of Quebec in the past he has sold his nation down the river and taken up the interests of the subjugation of the Quebec nation and the oppression of the masses of the people. He is part and parcel of the Anglo-Canadian colonial state and the reactionary and traitorous Canadian bourgeoisie. Meanwhile, Trudeau pretends that he stands for “national unity” when in fact it is the reactionary bourgeoisie which is the greatest force for disunity in the country. The reactionary bourgoisie is attacking every section of the people, and tries to pit one section of the people against another. This is the aim of the “two nations” theory. This is the aim of the racist, antiworking class, anti-immigrant attacks which are being organized by the Canadian state through the anti-immigrant Bill C-24, through racist attacks, through blaming the immigrants for all the social problems in Canada, etc. It is the reactionary bourgeoisie which deprives the Native people of their hereditary rights, throws them off their land and deprives them of the means of making a livelihood, and then carries out maximum propaganda against the Native people. It is the reactionary bourgeoisie which is caught in the grips of the gravest economic crisis since the 1930’s, and which is determined to make the people pay by shifting the burden of the crisis onto the backs of the working class and people, through new unemployment insurance regulations, through the “wages and prices controls” programme which forcibly restrains the wage demands of the workers, through unemployment, rising prices, layoffs, speedups, cutbacks, etc. At the same time, the reactionary bourgeoisie is engaged in vicious infighting in its own camp. This is concentrated in the fight between Trudeau and Levesque on the question of “national unity” and Quebec’s “independence”. This infighting in the camp of the reactionary bourgeoisie is intensified in the current crisis and the rich are desperately trying to mobilize the masses of the people into their cause. The Canadian people have no interest in the “unity” fraud of Trudeau or the “independence” fraud of Levesque. The Canadian people must unite to defeat both of these frauds, to resist the shifting of the burden of the crisis onto their backs, to fight for the national liberation of Quebec, to fight for the immediate restoration of the hereditary rights of the Native people, to resist state-organized attacks on the immigrants, etc. This is the programme of genuine national unity. Genuine national unity means the defeat of the federalism fraud of Trudeau and the “independence” fraud of Rene Levesque. It means the defeat of the rule of the reactionary bourgeoisie, the U.S. imperialist domination of Canada, and the monopoly capitalist system itself. It means genuine national liberation for Quebec and genuine independence, democracy and socialism for Canada. Anti-imperialist AICiance

Lies and personal attack I have here a 1,200 word submission which I promised last week, elaborating on my letter last week pointing out certain of the more scandalous intellectual frauds prepetrated by the AIA on this campus. Unfortunately, I have to take some of my allotment to respond to the anonymous lettitor’s response to that letter. I resent having to do this, but certain lies and misrepresentations included in that lettitor’s comment cannot be allowed to go unanswered. Last week I showed how the AIA uses lies and personal attacks in responding to critics instead of intelligent and informal argument. Interestingly, the chevron’s response to this was a lie and a personal attack. The lettitor said that I had been ousted by the Board of Directors and that I was thus not really entitled to sign my name as pastpresident. It is utterly without foundation, this assertion which the chevron has repeatedly printed and which I have repeatedly denied in public. Why the chevron never asked the Board of Directors about this strikes me as curious, but its such a handy lie I guess they don’t want to lose it. The allegation stems from a Board of Directors ‘meeting which was attended, in part, by a chevron reporter. Before that reporter arrived, I informed the Board that I was planning to reisgn and that the only question in my mind was when. The timing became important for two reasons - one was because Ron Hipfner would have to carry on without me and the second was timing for an election - partially depen~ dent on the date of my resignation. There were several points of view on this question of date and the discussion of the pros and cons of each occassionally became heated. It was this discussion which the chevron reporter witnessed and mistook as an ousting. I ‘cannot blame the reporter for coming to this conclusion, but since he missed part of the meeting, it might have been reasonable to consult with members of the Board as to what had preceded it, which in this case was a clear statement of my intent to reisgn. What upsets me greatly, is the chevron’s insistance that it is right, that I was ousted, in spite of denials by everyone else who was at that meeting. I consider this to be malicious libel. The lettitor then calls my letter an attempt to show that the AIA and the chevron are the same organization. I guess it is true that the AIA and the chevron are not the same organization, but that doesn’t mean they’re not essentially the same thing. If the hat fits, wear it bud. The lettitor then moves into a couple of paragraphs of cheap shots and irrelevant gratutiious insults. Interestingly though, the lettitor never denies the “alleged allegation’ ’ that the AIA and the chevron are the same thing. In a typical AIA tactic, the lettitor just tries to confuse the question with nit-picking. For instance, the lettitor denies that it was the AIA which attempted to have Roberts’ testimony stricken from the record of the Chevron Investigation Commission. He pointed out that it was the chevron delegation. I must apologise for sometimes getting confused between Mr. Docherty’s role as head of the chevron delegation and editor with his role as AIA champion. He often seems confused himself between his duties as editor and his duties as Vanguard political extremist. Can you blame me for suffering the same confusion? The lettitor then calls my suggestion that the AIA has a disproportionate influence in

the chevron

the chevron sheer exaggeration. The staff of the chevron is somewhere between 20 and 30. Of those Neil Docherty, Larry Hannant, Doug Wahlsten and Salah Bachir are admitted AIA members. In addition Jules Grajower, Jonathan Coles, Heather Robertson and several others behave as if they were. Trouble is we can’t know for sure because they refuse to publish a membership list. But even if we leave out those who might as well be, we still have a clear AIA membership on chevron staff of four. This represents about 1/7th of the chevron membership. However the AIA does not represent anything like 1/7th of the student body. In fact I know of NO st,udent who is an AIA member. Of these four on the chevron; for instance, how many are undergrads paying fees to the Federation, and thus the chevron? None! A prof, a former student, a non-student and a grad student. So if the lettitor really believes that it is not disproportionate, then I challenge him to provide his definition of disproportionate. Normally speaking, the fact that a person is a member of a political party doesn’t matter much. But in the case of our newspaper editor, Neil Docherty, membership in a vanguard political organization manifests itself in the most absurd of attitudes and actions. It is these, more than his membership in the party per se that I object to. This man, Neil Docherty , regularly applies all of the AIA techniques of newspeak and misrepresentation and personal attack in the pursuit of his own political ends which he tries to present as the interests of the chevron. This editor of the student newspaper has never even been a student here ! He calls the referendum questions about the chevron which all students will have a chance to vote on a ‘referendum crisis’. Remember this man claims to support democracy. Bruce Rorrison, the President’s assistant, asked Mr. Docherty Monday if he did not think a referendum was democratic. Mr. Docherty’s response? “No.” Docherty proceded to call Acting President Higgs a “pipsqueak and a liar”, insulted society presidents by suggesting they weren’t worth anything and called mathNews a non-representative paper run by a political clique. He was of course criticising the referendum. He complains that the chevron was not consuted. True enough, but since when have UW students had to have the chevron’s permission before making a decision? A more solid complaint was that the referendum contains only a single model for the paper. This model was chosen by the president after extensive consultations with other student reps on campus and because he felt it to be the best. That is his job after all. If the referendum question wins, it will establish the chevron as an autonomous corporation, with a separate fee and its own Board of Directors elected by students. I can’t imagine how this could do anything but help the chevron. However, if the chevron does not like this idea all they have to do is vote NO. If the question does not win, there wil be no change, the status quo will continue and I’m sure future presidents and councils will look kindly on the idea of putting another model to the students. But if the model is approved by the student body, who is Neil Docherty to say that the students cannot have what they want - when they are paying the bills and when this is, after all, a democracy? But then, I’d be worried about this referendum if I were in the AIA. It promises to establish, through a separately elected Board of Directors, genuine responsible democracy. That’s something the Federation hasn’t been able to do by itself. You see the AIA is very poor at ‘winning elections. Their list of defeated candidates is impressive. The AIA has found that it can blackmail Fed council, but they fear that an elected body whose sole responsibility would be the newspaper, might be harder to attack and misrepresent.

The chevron has said that it doesn’t want to be responsible to the Federation. Okay, say the Feds, we’ll give your autonomy. By complaining about this, the chevron makes it clear that it doesn’t want to be responsible to anyone. But I do not really think that a majority of the chevron staff take this absurd position. It is only the AIA cadres who cannot stomach democracy. It remains incredibly difficult for the reasonable people in the Federation to talk with the reasonable people in the chevron because Neil Docherty is always there whipping up tempers, throwing about rabid insults as if they were going out of fashion, and otherwise preventing civilized discourse. Of course civilized discourse is anathema to the AIA. How to stop Docherty? Don’t let him get your goat. Rember always that you are a civilized human being and that civilized relations between civilized people have no room for AIA tactics. Remember always that his only weapon is to reduce you to his own level, to carry argument to the absurd extreme of emotional confrontation. He’s good at that. He’s better than any of us at that. When discussion is reduced to that level everything gets confused, as the AIA likes, and reasoned response to actual problems becomes impossible. The AIA likes that too. Let’s not let them get away with it. Doug Tho,mpson past-President \ Federation of Students I am not going to get into a debate with Thompson in which he turns out the same lies he has been spewing since last September, embellished with one or two updates.

The point is Thompson has repeatedly been shown to be a liar - a phenomena which became widely known on campus and in student circles across the country as “The Thompson Two-Step”. Take for example Thompson’s statement about a reply to his last letter: “For instance the lettitor denies that it was the AIA which attempted to have Roberts’ testimony stricken from the record of the Chevron Investigation Commission. He pointed out that it was the chevron delegation.” And compare it with what was actually said in the Oct. 14 Iettitor: “Thompson claims that the AIA attempted to have Roberts’ testimony stricken from the investigation records, In fact, the chevron delegation insisted that the unsubstantiated charges and untrue statements in Roberts’ testimony be kept on the record, and it was one of the commission members who suggested that the testimony be stricken.” If Thompson has all this evidence against the chevron or myself instead of huffing and puffing about challenging people to a debate he should present it to the investigation commission. To date he has given the commission two statements each of them completely devoid of any supporting evidence, and has twice not returned at an appointed time to be cross-examined. Of course it isn’t an accident that Thompson’s submissions lacked substantiation or that he didn’t return for questioning, the reason is he doesn’t have any evidence. What he does have is the ability to lie in the face of facts. I realize since he was ousted from the presidency Thompson may have lots of time to write even more lies but I’m not interested in debating them. A judgement on his credibility has already been given and these graphics from past chevrons are an adequate response to this contemptuous wretch.

The teams were evenly matched in terms of nunk bers but since the Alumni have gained a few pounds and lost a few strokes to the years they were given a handicap based on the number of years they have been off the varsity team.

Teams rallied for round robin play were: University of Gtielph, University of Western Ontario, McMaster University and University of Waterloo. Waterloo’s first game was against the University of Western Ontario. Both teams played an aggressive game with lots of midfield play. Despite many shots on goal, Waterloo could not score; final tally was 1-O Western.
