Society president Gary Prudence as co-ordinator of the committee didn’t believe it will be “viable” until the fall term. And John Cot-man, Engineering Society , president, thought the whole idea of a committee had been dropped since it wasn’t a “worthwhile venture” anyway. After Thursday’s meeting, Roberts talked to Bill Deeks, administrative services director, who, agreed to submit a statement to the societies outlining the university’s position on the student run food stands.

OFS- tiants ‘Despite
the
employment situation this summer, students returning to school in September must tuck away more money than they did last year, and the Ontario Federation of Students doesn’t think it’s fair. When the OFS executive meets this weekend, one item on the agenda is how students can lobby for changes in the earnings con-
tribution required by the Ontario Student Assistance Program. OSAP awards are based on what a student saves during the summer or on a work term. The required amount has gone up anywhere from 3 to 20 per cent, depending on the student’s sex and the year he/she is entering. _._ For example, a male student entering his second year last September would get OSAP assistance based on savings of $592, whereas he is expected to put away $672 this year. In a press release, OFS describes the assistance formula used by the government as arbitrary and based on unrealistic assumptions. OFS Donald
spokesman Peter Mactold the chevron the formula tables assume student eam-
He also complained
that the ta-
bles make no allowance for students living in high unemployment areas. OFS wants the program changed and‘ is pushing for a system based
on real earnings;
one which

stands, could develop into “an allout war” that could hurt the societies more than the university, Roberts said. In the long run, it could jeopardize such society and student federation benefits such as office space and furniture, janitorial and mail services, and the collection of student fees. 1 Roberts explained that these services are “tied in” with formal written agreements between the university and the federation including one that bans all commercial enterprises without mutual consent. “If students violate these mdentures, is the university bound to

Harry Parrott the next time they meet. But MacDonald said there is little indication that the government will be sympathetic to the students. This weekend the OFS executive will discuss how to change the minister’s mind, and one suggestion the UW’s OFS liaison officer Doug Thompson thinks will gain favor is a postcard campaign. Postcards would be placed in manpower and welfare offices for _ student use. But instead of “wish you were here ,” they would demand that the obligatory earnings contribution be . eliminated and student aid be based w on real ea’rnings. -neil

hold its end up?” Other options the university has include charging the societies for the space used by the food stands, or, if the situation worsens, billing the societies for office- space/as well, Roberts said. At present, the university is in the position of subsidizing opera-, tions that contribute to the losses of its own business-Food Services. However, “the stands aren’t booming that much” and Food Services would have to lay off staff anyway because of mismangement and poor food quality, Roberts added. Several courses of action were proposed at Thursday’s meeting but the two extremes of ignoring Food Services or turning all the food stand business bver to the university were rejected by everyone. The first would “slap the university in the face” and the other would not guarantee adequate service, Roberts said. Other suggestions were to “freeze” supply levels with outside dealers and give any increase in business to Food Services, or to negotiate with the university, letting Food Services have a cut of the present business. Also proposed was a boycott of Food Services by students, but Roberts didn’t know any details regarding this course of action. Gary Prudence was contacted at Mr. Sandwich, one of MathSoc’s suppliers, and said that a committee will be formed no sooner than the fall term. There are too few food stand managers on campus in summer to form the committee while communication between the societies by telephone is adequate in the meantime, he explained. : Prudence didn’t think the university would attack the societies over the food stands although he still had, “some interest” in the issue. “We can collect our own fees, ,
which is what we were going to do a year ago.” There is a “possibility” of negotiating if Deeks produces an outline on the food stand question but the university has to act fist, he said. Asked whether he worked at Mr. Sandwich, Prudence said “no”. Later, he told the chevron that he was “helping out” by preparing sandwiches from 1:30 pm to about 4:30 pm although he had gone there I to talk about “events”. Prudence said he has gone “a couple of times during the term” since 1974 just to visit Mr. Sandwich since “there’s no use buying if you don’t see the place.” Other people in Math&c and EngSoc do the same thing, he said. Prudence was food stand manager in the 1975 winter term but the contract with Mr. Sandwich was secured before that and a new manager has been working since early June. I Shirley Taylor who owns Mr. Sandwich thinks the threat of the university will be harmful to her business since it is dependent on the societies, Prudence said. But he pointed out that the competititon “keeps them on their toes” and insures a good product which wouldn’t occur if Food Services had a “monopoly”. Prudence also objected to Mr. Sandwich being singled out as the only off-campus supplier since there are others such as Kitchener Dairies. John Corman agreed that Mr. Sandwich would go out of business ifMathSoc and EngSoc switched to Food Services as they account for _ about 90 per cent of the company’s sales. The quality and prices are good and health officials have declared it “one of the best in the area for cleanliness ,” Corman safd. He didn’t think the societies should pay overhead costs and felt Roberts is over-reactmg to the food continued

Universities In an era of government spending restraint, Ontario universities are resigned to increasing tuition when the provincial. freeze ends September 1977. ‘At least that’s what the Ontario Council of University Affairs was <fold last Friday by reps from the province’s 15tax-supported universities, fhe Ryerson Polytechnical Institute, the Ontario College of Art and the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education. OCUA is an advisory body to the provincial government and serves as a “buffer” between the universities and the ministry of colleges and universities. According to a brief submitted by the universities, an increase in tuition fees is one way to raise the 11.4-per-cent more funds universities will need by 1977.
That works out to an additional Polytechnical Institute said there $87-million over the $762. l-million should be,,no rise in tuition since a granted for university - spending in large number of students at his institute are coming from working 1976-77.

Union ratifies UW contract Food services and physical resources personnel voted Tuesday to ratify a new one-year contract with the university. . The agreement, which is effective July 1, provides for a 10 per cent across-the-board raise plus a 1.2 per cent, benefit package increase. However, it is subject to review by the anti-inflation board .The vote, which was almost three to one in favor of accepting the contract, was taken at a meeting of about230 members of local 793 of the Canadian Union of Pub-

Before the vote, some members asked why the union hadn’t heldout for more. They wanted to know whether a 10 per cent settlement might not be taken as a precedent in next year’s negotiations. They felt that with the rapidly rising cost of living, a much larger percentage might be required to keep above water next year. They were assured by members of the executive that this year’s set-
tlement would not be a precedent binding the union in next year’s negotiations, and that the contract was about the best that could be obtained in the circumstances. . One executive member asserted that the 11.2 per cent overall increase (including benefits) was en-’ tirely defensible before the AIB, But he felt that if they’d demanded more, say 15 per cent, the AIB might feel they were being greedy, “and what happens when you get greedy? You get a slap in the kisser”.

fun is here
Well summer’s here, both officially and actually, and for those on campus - mostly math people and engineers - their societies are arranging programs of activities appropriate to the season. EngSoc’s big weekend starts on Thursday July 8 with a wristwrestling contest, but the time of day and the venue have’ not yet been decided. The same day will see the beginning of a scavenger hunt which will end on the following Monday. On Friday there will be tug-ofwar and a volley tournament (yes, that’s volley, not volley-ball; it% an electronic game played on a TV screen, something like electronic ping-pong .) On Saturday it’s out to Erbsville for a go-kart Grand Prix. Engineering baseball is tentatively set for Sunday, but if enough teams enter
it may spread over both Saturday and Sunday. Saturday evening the Engineering Semi-Formal will be held. This affair will be open to the whole campus. On Sunday the Good Brothers and the Incredible Sloth band will play at the Math-Engineering beat h party. Meanwhile, Mathsoc will continue its bi-weekly pubs; the next will be on June 29 in the faculty lounge. The society has plans for a number of activities, some definite, some still in the tentative stage. Among. the definite ones are card nights for bridge players, and these may .be extended to include euchre and crib nights. More details will be published as they become available. For students on work-term in

- Stud book The federation of students has published its summer ‘76 directory of qtudent phone numbers for students registered for the spring term. If you haven’t received yourcopy yet, you can pick one up at engsoc, mathsot, or the federation office in the campus centre.
- In setting fees for different programs, the primary consideration should be accessibility - not future financial returns or the institutional costs of particular programs. In a related discussion, university leaders focused on the question of institutional autonomy in setting tuition fee levels. z Most of the universities seemed to agree that the provincial government should set fee guidelines and allow post&secondary institutions some flexibility.

Tenants organize Tenants in Lakeshore Village are organizing an association that could eventually represent townhouse and apartment dwellers throughout all of Waterloo. But for now they are concentrating on the area north of Columbia Street-- between the university and King Street, said spokesman Gary Dryden in an interview. “Hopefully, by the end of summer we will be a viable organization.” ’ The project, to be called the Lakeshore tenants’ association, got started when 35 “very wellorganized” tenants fought a proposed increase in their rents ofabout 25 per cent, Dryden said. They won their case at the Rent Review Board which rolled back the increase to eight per cent, the maximum under the guidelines. Dryden explained that the landlord, Ruediger Investments, wanted to charge $45 extra for 50 three-bedroom townhouses on Sunnydale Crescent that rented for $220 and $240 per month. ‘Within two weeks, a meeting was organized and flyers distributed to prepare tenants for the hearing June 16 at the rent review office in Kitchener. Rent hikes can be justified on the basis of increase in property taxes, maintenance costs, utilities and salaries within the’guidelines of the Anti-Inflation Board, Dryden said. However, Ruediger based the increase on depreciation of the
four-year-old buildings and property damage due to renting to students - reasons which were not -accepted by the board. Each of the 35 tenants at the hearing stated why they thought the increase was bnfair, citing structural and electrical faults in the buildings as well as shoddy, maintenance and -. poorly-kept grounds, Dryden said. In addition, they were able to challenge the landlord’s figures on maintenance spending, having estimated the costs of labor and parts at the time of the repairs. Among the tenants were accounting students who refuted the facts and figures brought-forward bv the landlord. -As a result, it took only two minutes for the rent review officer to reach the decision to roll back the increase, although it can take weeks in some cases, Dryden said. There are three or four more blocks of townhouses in Lakeshore where rents are going up by 16 to 50 per cent, he added. “If in the future we can organize tenants north of Columbia, we can bring an effective front against any arbitrary increase by a landlord.” Dryden would like to see the Weber and Allen Street area organized after that and “the whole , Waterloo area eventually.” Anyone interested in joining the _ tenants’ association should contact the housing committee of the UW student federation.

Task force
urges 6
‘UW fo get-into) The UW senate accepted Monday a study examining the implications of the Symons Report - a national study of Canadian content in universities -for the university. The study, drafted by a task force, considers the suggestions contained in the Symons Report and makes recommendations on how to involve the university in Canadian public affairs. Canadian universities have a duty “to fit our graduates to participate, as appropriate to their discipline, in debate on public policy and in- the formulation of public policies ,” the study says. As for UW, the study says the university “occupies a favorable j position and has better than average-potential for directed studies in the public policy areas,” because of the co-operative programs. “These programs link the academic and real world situations and form a ready-made bridge between the classroom and government and industry.” The study says that where UW is “heavily involved in public policy” co-operative programs do exist, such as geography, recreationand environmental studies.

It’s now possible for part-time students to take first and second year courses on a non-degree’basis in the Arts Faculty. That’s what the UW senate decided Monday after receiving a report on the pilot program from the Paculty.. Starting this fall term, each department will submit a list of courses available for nondegree students to the end of spring 1977, at which time the program will be reviewed. The new admissions category is called “admitted to course” and allows “John and/or Mary Citizen” to take a course by securing the professor’s permission and the okay of the associate dean’. There are no restrictions as to age or requirements, although the program will be publicized only in off-campus areas to “be sure of a limited number of applicants.”

The International Students Association has called a meeting for all those interested in opposing the tuition fee increases forforeign students. The meeting will be held on Wednesday, June 30, at 7 p.m. in the world room (campus centre 207). The proposed increases would raise two-term tuition fees from $585 to $1500, beginning next January. Salah Bachir, a spokesman for ISA, said the increases were part of an attack on all students through the education cutbacks, and a continuation of the Green Paper -anti-immigrant campaign. He added that many of the foreign undergraduates from the Third World come here “by having their families bear a heavy financial , burden, scrimping and often borrowing from friends and relatives. Their situation is worsened by the unfavourable currency exchange rate. Also, Immigration requires that students have with them $3,500 and Manpower makes it nearly impossible to get a summer job, let alone a decent paying one.”

In their last tournament play before the Olympics next month, Canada’s National Mens Basketball team narrowly defeated the U.S. Athletes in Action - 74-71.

He also tries to give a novel twist to the fact that MPLA has recently (March 26, 1976) signed an agreement with South Africa guaranteeing to protect the interests of the South African fascists at the Cunene dam’in Angola. Instead of uniting with UNITA to defeat the South African racists, MPLA has collaborated with the, foreign invaders in order to achieve hegemony over their Angolan countrymenin UNITA. Shane terms this act of treachery “subsequent complications,” and then he blames it all on U-NITA! A standard lie spread about UNITA ,is that they were collaborating with South Africa. Now we have Shane saying that it’s OK for MPLA to collaborate with South Africa. This- clearly shows that he regards the mdvement for total independence of Angola from both superpowers to be greater threai to the interests which he represents than are the white settler racists and fascists from South Africa. Shane Roberts stands exposed as an outright agent of social.1 imperialism. Shane repeats the lie that the CIA, and therefore U.S. imperialism, backs UNITA. He does this in order to cover up the fact that MPLA has recently made a deal with U.S. imperialism by allowing Gulf Oil Co. in the enclave of Cgbindatto carry on operations in excfiange for hundreds of millions of dollars in royalty payments to bolster the crumbling MPLA government in Luanda. UNITA stands for the total independence 6f Angola, politically and economically, and that means kicking out Gulf Oil entirely. U.S. imperialism and Soviet social-imperialism will contend fiercely for a share of Angola, but when a revolutionary movement such as UNITA rises to kick them out, they readily collude in order to crush it. There-are fourother lies of his which we can deal with briefly. LIE No. 4: UNIT4 has lost the support of China. FACT: China supported all three liberation movements against Portugese colonialism and U.S. imperialism until the signing of the surrender by Portugal in the Alvor Agreement of Jan. 15, 1975. China never sought influence in Angola by backing one liberation movement against the others. Now China is calling for Soviet and Cuban troops to get out of Angola, which is support for the legitimate national rights of all the Angolan people. LIE NO. 5: MPLA is the largest popularly-supported independence movement. FACT: At the time of the scheduled elections in Nov., 1975, which were never - held because of the MPLA-Cuban offensive, UNITA had the support of over 70% of the Angolan people. UNITA also has the largest army of Angolans, although it is exceeded by the size of Cuban forces there now. MPLA has the largest supply of weapons. WEAPONS.
for a long time. Unable to cite any convincing evidence or offer rational argument for his line, he has resorted to hysterical attacks ori CPC(ML) and Stalin. The AntiImperial& Alliance has already ,denounced Shane Roberts as a traitor to the students, and we now condemn him as a shameless apologist for the criminal activities of Soviet social-imperialism and Cuban puppet troops in Angola.

On the question of increased tuition fees for foreign students: (chevron, June 4th) It is decisive to see this attack by the government on foreign students as part of an overall attack on all students through the educational cutbacks and part of the racist and fascist Green Paper anti-immigrant campaign. This attack on foreign students is also a move to prepare conditions for further attacking all students, to make them bear the brunt of educational cutbacks, and to shift onto their backs the burden of the economic crisis. In order for students to fight this action it is crucial to unite all those who can be united against the cutbacks, and in this case, the proposed fee hikes. Roberts however, chooses a splittist course of action by raising the matter of a foreign student he claims to know who has 100,000 dollars in his bank account. A number of questions stand out: why would Roberts know this to begin with?; &ho would have $100,000 in their account?; and why does Roberts raise this? We need not reflect long for answers: Roberts raises this in an attempt to justify government attadks on students. Roberts is joined by Long and Dry-den of the federation council in his splittist activity. Long thinks that &es should only be raised twice as much, and Dryden thinks foreign students should be forced to go back to their country for five years. These bureaucrats promote the racist idea that foreign students are to blame for education cutbacks, and that by attacking them we could solve our problems. Roberts also claims (in vague terms) his opposition to U.S. imperialist domination of Canada by ‘condemning’ the “crummy, shitty cars of American design”. Roberts true sentiment towards US imperialism can be shown by his action: he has consistantly attacked the only group on campus which provides analysis of how US imperialism dominates Canada, and which has organized against it.; the Anti-Imperialist Allaince . Finally, Roberts proposed to fight student unem,ployment with a “picnic with perhaps a rock band” (chevron, june 11th). And how !I about an oom-pah-pah band too and you and Bill Davis can have the first dance! This sort of activity decimated the students movement of the late sixities,, and Roberts and Davis would love to see it happen again. Just like old times, huh Shane?
LIE NO. 6: UNITA “sprang up” when victory was in sight. FACT: UNITA was founded inside Angola on March 13,1966, at a dark hour in the national liberation struggle, when the other two movements were based outside the country and were -stalemated by the Portugese. LIE NO. 7: UNITA uses high-paid civilian mercenaries. FACT: UNITA is based on the peasant masses in the Angolan countryside. It is well known that FNLA employed high-paid mercenaries, several of whom are on trial now, and that‘ MPLA is relying on Cuban and Soviet troops. / Shane has simply parotted the cacophony of lies that the two superpowers and their agents have been spreading about UNITA
