Pub controversy

’

Three. quiii- tvwo ‘re/b/i7, PMAC New developments in the campus centre pub controversy added a touch of drama to the otherwise (mostly) dignified deliberations at last weekend’s marathon meeting of student federation council.

Three members of the pub management advisory committee (PMAC) quit the committee “due to a feeling that a make-up and operation of this committee make it absolutely impossible to do anything”.

Later, after PMAC had been re-

constituted to exclude pub manager Art Ram, two of the three quitters jumped back on the committee, which will now study management procedures, but will not deal specifically with the question of the competence of present management.

Debate on PMAC and the pub began duringthe council’s morning session on Saturday, and after a period of desultory discussion, councillor Selma Sahin asked whether any concrete action would

be taken by council, and if the matter would be brought up in any of the workshops.

Chairman Ralph Torrie said it wasn’t on the agenda, but that people could decide to have a workshop to discuss it.

Federation president Shane Roberts said there was already a big committee, with ten people on it, to discuss the pub. After the minutes of PMAC were accepted, Roberts went on to say that PMAC’s work was being complicated, and the whole, affair of the

the resignation of Towler. But the demands of the RAA went beyond these immediate issues to include the reorganization of the governing structure of the college in order to reflect equal representation from all sections of the academic community, and an end to all in-camera sessions between principal and faculty or students.

In a they-on article in November 1974, the RAA pointed out that Towler’s appointment had been made by the board of governors despite faculty support for the acting principal, Donald M’Timkulu.

With Towler’s appointment students and faculty at the college got “the uncomfortable feeling that he might bring a much more authoritarian view of. things than we would be interested in. ..”

In the summer of 1974, Towler indicated that plans were afoot to “straighten out things” at Renison, says a faculty member.

The RAA campaign was characterized by popular agitation and innovation of the type that had made Renison College a centre of democratic, progressive education.

pub was being complicated, by three different sheets, mostly directed at Ram, but also partly directed at the committee.

(These anonymous sheets had been anonymously distributed on campus early Friday morning, July 9, following the PMAC meeting of the night before.)

Roberts said that the stuff directed at Ram partly referred to him on a personal level, so that it was a matter of concern that in addition to all the other problems that PMAC already faced, its work might be made even more difficult by “what may be proven to be legally slanderous material, and otherwise inaccurate information about the committee being circulated around the campus”.

Roberts also felt that the persons who put it out had been in direct contact with a member of the committee. “I’m not saying that the member himself was a party to this 2 but that’s also been suggested”.

Later, councillor Doug Thompson read a letter signed by himself, councillor Ron Hipfner, and pub staff rep Jan Deacon, requesting council to accept their resignations from PMAC. The letter said that while these members shared the feeling that it wasn’t fair to blame everything on Ram, “if even one-tenth of what we’ve heard can be substantiated, we have more than enough grounds to dismiss him”.

But it said that no move in that direction had been made by PMAC. Also, the very fact that Ram was a member of the committee compromised its impartiality.

“The presence of Art, along with his domineering style and superb debating talents, at both staff and PMAC meetings renders any action against him virtually impossible.”

After listing a number of other problems, the letter suggested’ immediate suspension of Ram (with full pay); appointment of Rita

Schneider as interim manager (till 7, when the pub closes for a month); a full, open, and public hearing before the staff committee; and, depending on the results of such a hearing, either a resolution of confidence in Ram by council, or the search for a replacement.

Roberts then commented that to the best of his knowledge none of the people who had signed the letter had ever in any way made any recommendation at any meeting of PMAC as to how the committee should proceed, had expressed any dissatisfaction with the functioning of the committee, or otherwise made any direction as to the conduct of the committee.

Roberts’ comment was interrupted by Thompson’s shouts of “Bullshit !“. and “That’s an outright lie.” (The chevron understands that Thompson later made some sort of apology, outside the meeting, for these interjections) Final decisions were that the staff committee be requested to examine the manager and assistant manager’s performance as federation employees, and that they should report as soon as possible.

Also, that PMAC or whatever committee might replace it should investigate the various complaints and comments that had been made to council; that the various subcommittees should haveshort-term recommendations for the pub by July 29; and that PMAC should look at the policies and mechani- _ cisms of the pub and make recommendations to council by the first council meeting in September.

It was also decided that pub management be removed from, or not allowed on, the committee or any of its subcommittees.

Later, when the question of replacements for Thompson and Hipfner on PMAC was considered, they volunteered to replace themselves and were accepted.

Rid human rights code of --loophdes j The Ontario human rights code should be amended to (eliminate any loopholes which allow landlords to discriminate against students, says a UW student federation brief.

The federation brief, ‘presented Monday to the provincial Human Rights Commission, also urges that “safeguards.. . be extended to the area of employment” to avert discrimination against students and homosexuals.

“Obviously, this means that the press would no longer be allowed to run ads that restrict applicants’from applying for accomodation and jobs because they are students or homosexuals .”

The brief states the KitchenerWaterloo Record “constantly runs ads that indicate that students need not enquire into advertised accomodation.”

Asked Tuesday about The Record’s advertising policy, Jim Kipper, classified ads manager, said the newspaper indicates whether a landlord will rent to students as an aid to those looking for rental accomodation. , He said such a policy saves stu-

dents time as they will know which landlords won’t rent to them.

The federation submission was oneof the 16 briefs presented/to the commission when it held a hearing in Kitchener.

All of the briefs will serve as input for the revision of Ontario’s human rights code.

The recommendations for altering the E-year-old code-will be made public in the fall, and then they will go to the legislature which considers a -revision to be a high priority.

The federation brief‘says various landlords refused to rent to ‘ ‘ . . . our constituents when they mentioned that they were UW students.”

And this problem is seriously affecting the availability of student housing.

In addition, students face further problems when they manage to rent a place as they are asked to “put up cash bonds” to satisfy the landlord.

The brief argues that though there are many complaints about students being bad tenants, most of these charges are generally unfounded when investigated.

“The commission may wish to note that these accusations are very similar to ones levelled at New Canadians and persons receiving

social assistance of Some sort.”

Students also ericounter discrimination when looking for parttime and summer jobs “. . . simply because they are students.

“While we have been unable to contact the employers in these instances, it seems that our constituents are being refused on the basis that they will terminate their employment without giving proper notice. ..”

The brief says that in both the university and K-W community there have been mounting incidences of racial discrimination, and stronger legislation is needed to curb this trend.

“We wonder.. . if (existing) legis’ lation is adequate in light of the current growth of racist incidents.”

And better legislation is needed to insure that students aren’t discriminated against on the basis of

their sexual orientation, the brief states.

“The Ontario Federation of Students, of which we are a member, has a regulation which explicitly states that no individual will be refused employment with that organization.on the basis of sexual preference.

Unfortunately, this is not the case with the mass of employers.”

Students to get housr’ng service An after-ho&s housing service to aid students in t-he hard search for lodgings will begin operating as soon as the telephones can be in: stalled.

Located in an office next to the turnkey desk in the Campus Centre, it will offer the free use of five phoms, lists of available housing, a bulletin board and map of Kitchener-Waterloo.

Student council agreed Sunday to a $500 funding limit for the office which will be open after business hours of the UW housing office and every day including weekends until mid-September.

To attract public attention to the student _housing problem, a one’ day guerrilla theatre eve+ is planned as well as a city-wide poster campaign.

Council will also approach the university with the idea of having an apartment com@ex built on university land to house students but not financed by the university.

At a council workshop on hous-. ing, arts student Leona Kyrytow spoke of plans to form a guerrilla theatre, complete with the engineering society’s band, to perform at the Fairview shopping plazaSaturday July 25.

A series of short skits will dramatize the fact that student don’t have housing and the attitude of landlords that students “are not human beings,” she said.

Student president Shane Roberts hoped the event will attract the news media so students can get “a

One-man

few minutes on the 1l:OO o’clock news - there’s no way we can afford it otherwise.”

At the same workshop, math student Gary Dryden said. that a “fairly bad housing crisis exists” and it puts the landlord in an advantaged position.

Dryden’s own landlord recently tried to raise the rent by 25 per cent but, due to the organized efforts of the tenants, the increase was rolled back to 8 per cent by the rent review board.

However, “soon we won’t have a rent review board and then bang! the rents will go up.”

To prevent this from happening, Dryden is organizing a tenant’s union in Lakeshore Village to represent apartment and townhouse dwellers.

According to the UW housing office, there is no room left in the student villages, church college residences or c’o-op housing and the waiting list of students is full.

Around 1300 students have checked with the office so far this month compared to about 1800 for the same period last year, a spokeswoman said.

But many- more students were looking in June already and “refusal letters” were sent out earlier this year to Grade 13 students applying for housing.

Still, the situation is “maybe a little better” than last year and “slightly more” householders are listing available housing with the office, shesaid. --

halted

John Long’s one-man crusade to ban the Orange Bombshelter’s new name came to a rude, but momentary, halt at a student council meeting Sunday.

At the meeting’s close, as everyone struggled to their feet, the indefatigable math-rep jumped up with a motion to rescind the previous motion giving the Camdus Centre pub its luckless name.

However, 13 members were needed to vote on the motion and there were only 12 when Arts rep Franz Klingender elected to keed mum during the roll call.

Undaunted, Long may either hold a referendum on the issue or call a general meeting of the student federation, for which he needs a petition signed by five per cent of members.

He is presently conducting a “feasibility study” to look into the matter.

Grad to test super car For (six weeks in Los Angeles, Alison Smiley will have at her disposal an automobile worth half a million dollars. .The car, belonging to the U.S. governmt?nt, is super-equipped to record steering angle, heading angle, lateral position and even the heartbeat (using electrodes) of the driver.

Smiley, who recently completed her PhD comprehensiye for the UW department of systems design, leaves for California next month.

She will be using the car to test her hypotheses on vehicle steering control as a model for learning.

She-hopes to prove that there are three stages of learning, or three strategies of stee_ring control.

Initially, the learnerperforis the lane-keeping steering task using the simplest and most obvious -strategy, that of controlling lateral error.

This means that beginners tend to look at the white line more often to make sure the car is in the correct path location.

Since this makes for an unsatisfat tory dominancy cue, the learner passes quickly to the second, intermediate stage, in which s/he keeps her/his main focus further

-Feds support-* Greenpeace case The student council has called on the Canadian government to support Greenpeace skipper David McTaggart in his case against Frante.

McTaggart received permanent damage to one eye in 1973 when his yacht Greenpeace III was boarded, by sailers from a French warship in a Pacific nuclear test zorie. He had sailed into the zone in protest against French -nuclear atmospheric tests and to champion freedom of navigation on the high seas.

At its meeting last weekend, council unanimously endorsed a letter from student president Shane Roberts to prime minister Pierre Trudeau rapping the government for its lack of support of McTaggart.

The letter said that McTaggart “has taken a courageous and principled stand in the face of violent and powerful opposition.. . his eloquent and brilliantly creative demonstration of the beauty and effee tiveness of non-violent action

has kindled hope in the hearts people all over the world.”

of

The letter called on the Canadian government to espouse McTaggart’s case and to place the resources--of its consular facilities at- his disposal.

McTaggart began legal action in April 1975 against the French goVernment on more than twenty charges, including piracy.

The court ruled that a French naval vessel was at fault during a collision in the Mururea atolls in 1972.

B$ the court said it was not competent to judge another case involving the boardingtincident the following summer.

Last Tuesday, another court in Paris rejected an appeal by McTaggart and endorsed the French government’s justification of the Greenpeace boarding.

McTaggart now has to decide whether to appeal to France’s highest administrative court, the conseil d’etat. / -adrian rodway

ahead of the car.

This, says Smiley , is an i&provement in steering control.

Finally, in the third stage of learning, heading angle will be the dominant cue to prqduce good tracking with low effort being extended.

This means that more experienced drivers look ahead rather than glance at the white line to their side (except in demanding situations).

In her study of the learning of steering control, Smiley integrates models of psychological perceptual-motor behavior with an engineering model of manual control.

She looks to experimental psychology for its latest understanding of motor behavior, and then applies it to control theory models to broaden their description of human performance.

In considering the human system in the same terms as a machine systern, she studies feedback, stability and transfer function properties, to show how a person learning to drive will change her/his response specifications and strategies.

In this way, she says, engineers and engineering psychologists will be able to predict the effectiveness of atperson-machine system fdr different states of the operator.

“It is important,” she maintains, “to develop an objective measure of how well people have steering control.”

Smiley feels it is necessary to predict the operator’s behavior in the same way as one predicts machine behavior, in order to properly design machines to be controlled by humans.

Smiley has been working on driving behavior for four years, and after her dissertation next May, she plans to do research in Los Angeles on the effects of marijuana and alcohol on driving.

He pointed out how Canadian youth and workers are constantly subjected to persecution under bourgeois “justice”.

“At the same time,” he continued, “it would look bad for a professor with a doctorate to be convicted for trying to distribute communist literature on a university campus. This would ruin the illusion of democracy and free contention of ideas at university which the ruling class tries to maintain.”

Hannant added that they went to court well-prepared, in contrast to the Crown prosecutor and the WLU lawyers who were so arrogant and over-confident that they presented a shoddy case which could easily be refuted on key points.

Hey ,students, your’ keeth are shot a

If y&‘re a student at university, your teeth are probably decaying faster than at any other period in your life.

For one thing, you don’t sek your dentist from one year to the next and, if from out of town, you likely don’t even have one.

Of course, you’ve got money problems while you’re here and later on, working to pay back that student loan, maybe you can afford to overlook a few rotten molars.

But your lousy diet doesn’t help any: there were fourteen teaspoons 6f suger in the last slice of cherry pie you ate and eight teaspoons in the softdrink you washed it down with.

--So who can blame Andy Glenny, director of Waterloo Region’s dental health unit and practicing den-

tist for 15 years, for just about giving up on you?

In an interview Monday, Glenny said he has been urging adults to take proper care of their teeth for years but finds that it’s “hard to change behavioural habits.”

Now he feels it’s more worthwhile to reach the children, training them in the correct use of the toothbrush and dental floss before it’s too late.

“The answer is prevention, it isn’t treatment.

Treatment’s too expensive.”

During the last school year, the health unit taught the proper use of a toothbrush and dental floss to selected Grade 7 and 8 classes, but this year the “plaque control program” is offered to all Grade 7 and 8 students.

Plaque is a jelly-like material made up of proteins and bacteria which coats the teeth and must be completely removed every day to avoid decay.

Glenny youldn’t say that plaqye directly -causes tcoth decay but “you cannot get decay without plaque on the teeth.”

To remove the plaque, all you need is a dry, soft brush - one that fits behind the lower front teeth and about 18 inches of dental floss, which resembles nylon thread.

You can even throw your toothpaste away, although flouride toothpastes such as Colgate and Crest have‘ “some therapeutic effect,” Glenny said.

Learning to floss requires a fair bit of manual dexterity which is why Glenny doesn’t recommend it

Thanks to a tip from a UW qintenance worker, the c hevlon learned that in an attempt to cut costs, food services director Bob M.udie is having coffee made up in bulk off campus and then having it pumped .into the various food services outlets (you’re kidding).

for children before they reach Grade 5 or 6, but it’s “like riding a bicycle” - if you stick with it for two weeks, you can easily get the hang of it.

Eventually, it will take less time than brushing and you can even floss while watching TV, Glenny suggested.

To demonstrate, Glenny wrapped a-length of floss around his middle two fingers and spread his hands so the thread was taut and he could pinch it between his thumbs and forefingers.

Inserting it between the teeth of an oversi?ed set of pink plastic gums called Charlie Choppers, a visual aid used in the schools, he showed how to floss gently with an up and down motion towards the sides of the teeth.

Glenny recommended starting in one corner of the mouth and working your way with the floss to the other side.

For teeth with many fillings, like his own, he prefers waxed floss over the unwaxed variety since it’s thicker and tougher, although it’s more difficult to insert between the teeth.

The toothbrush you use should have a short row of soft bristles becahse hard ones either hurt your gums or don’t clean between the teeth. Brush with short strokes in a circular motion taking special care to brush the crevice between the gums and the teeth.

The tongue and roof of the mouth should also be scrubbed because bacteria can build up there as well.

Theoretically, by brushing and flossing faithfully every day you would never have another cavity.

However, the irregular shape of most people’s teeth makes it

“physically impossible’ ’ to remove all the plaque and researchers are current1.y trying to come up with something ‘to eliminate plaque altogether, Glenny said.

Floss was developed about 25 years ago but it “wasn’t around when I went to the University of Toronto - in 1960 very little was known about dental plaque and flossing.”

Toddy more dentists practice preventive dentistry but it takes a “terrific” amount of time and often patients don’t bother to follow the advice anyway, Glenny said.

In addition, since patients are used to actual treatment, dentists get “hostile feedback” when they charge for an expensive half hour of advice.

Tooth decay can lead to serious health problems because the teeth are close to such delicate parts of ’ the body as the eyes, ears and brain, he warned.

The teeth are not just stuck in the mouth but firmly rooted in bone, and the body has to fight off decay as it would any other infection.

Sugar, of course, is the real vil- ’ lain and whether you eat honey, molasses, brown sugar or white sugar, it’s all the same to your teeth, Glenny said.

“Bacteria must have highly refined sucrose to cause decay.”

Not only is there no nutritional requirement for it, but research has begun to show that the consumption of sugar is related to hea?t disease, Glenny said. ’ But it’s almost impossible to avoid something that’s “hidden” in everything from baby food - for the mother who samples it - to prepared mustard.

reject federal financie scheme

OTTAWA (CUP) - Provincial finance ministers rejected federal proposals for the financing of post-secondary education and health insurance h&-e July 7.

Federal finance minister Donald McDonald’s four alternate proposals for negotiating cost-sharing agreements with the provinces gave figures for the federal plan vaguely outlined

by Prime Minister Trudeau at the first ministers’ conference last month.

The proposals are variations on a plan which federal officials admit will result in decreased funding for post-secondary education.

The current system - under the Fiscal Arrangements Act (FAA) which expires next April - involves the federal . ,government matching dollar-for-dollar provincial spending on higher education.

SMidinavia puts \ people first

“You

have to’ moti’vate

people

to become

fit.”

Peter Hopkins, Intramural Director at the University .of Waterloo, recently returned from Scandinavia where he spent eight weeks as part of his M.A. program at U. of W. The course was started by Dr. Elliot Avedon of the Department of Recreation.

This is the fifth year the .course has been run from UW, though Dr. Avedon set it up from his previous university in New York and has been going himself for over fifteen years.

The students tour everything from parks30 playgrounds, daycare centres, sports facilities, and ‘gerontological institutes’ in an effort to assess the Scandinavian treatment of “leisure services”.

CHEVRON: What most impressed you about your trip?

HOPKINS: The one thing that impressed me, I think, was that they have a positive attitude towards people, andthey put their priorities on that base and their philosophy on that base. With that, they can organize themselves, obtain financial backing, and enable these things to happen.

Now they have good facilities, and they have access to them but I think it’s a cultural thing; they believe in being active. I think that’s probably what impressed me the most, they ‘have already such a positive attitude towards being physically active in some way, whether it’s public swimming or walking to work in the morning. They are active.

CHEVRON: You said that “They have a positive attitude towards people.” By “they” were you referring to the government or were you just referring to the people’s view of themselves?

HOPKINS: No, I think the government now has an interest in people through their social services programmes and through their tax system, they do, as a result, provide services for everybody.

The government and the people involved in running the social services have a very defined but positive attitude toward service of all ages. There are problems, they have a lot of problems with youthstill.

I really think they are people oriented first as opposed to industry or commercialism.

CHEVRON: Do you, think their attitude toward people, toward themselves in recreation and sport, is a reflection of the attitudes they have towards politics and economics, what we might call social ’ democracy?

HOPKINS: It could be part of their political philosophy.

With the democratic socialist system, . they’re controlled bureaucratically.

Presumably they have to put a high priority on the people. The peqple expect service for their high taxation.

It’s not only sports services, it’s all social services. It can be for old people, hospitalization, medicare, but I call that social services, as opposed to just physical recreation. Also they have a high priority for parks, they’re designed for people. They planned the parks around Oslo in 1913. They have logging there but it’s municipally controlled.

So they have a logging company which works with the parks people, and they sell the lumber which pays for the upkeep of the park. They have sanctuaries and cross country ski trails lighted for night time use and even some trails for the blind. I found this quite interesting. They do go out of their way to help handicapped people and make it as easy as possible for them to function in the same way that everyone else can. For example, they have ticking sounds at every traffic light in Giitenburg and the blind can tell by the frequency of the ticking if it’s safe to cross. I’ve never seen that in Canada but it’s certainly sensible.

“Turn

off the televisions.

”

There’s- also government legislation in Sweden which states that for every fifty people,da company hires they must hire one handicapped person.,They seem to have a very sensible mentality.

There’s a tremendous co-operation and it seems to be from all segments, and I think that’s what I mean by attitudes+veryone works together to provide services for the people. They have services for every segment of the population; no one is omitted.

There’s much better co-operation between various agencies to provide a service as opposed to what seems to be the building of empires here.

CHEVRON: I’m interested in the word service a’s applied to leisure. That’s perhaps a different concept than we have here. Should leisure and fitness become a service? Specifically, I’m thinking of places like the Fitness Institute in Willowdale and Mississauga.

They have very sophisticated facilities, very expensive.

Do you have to have things like that to instil1 some sense of awareness in. people towards fitness? It seems to me to be sort of a bribe.

HOPKINS: There’s a difference between the Scandinavian system and ours. First of all the Fitness Institute is alprivate institution.

Although it is service oriented it is still commercial and there’s a fair dollar that goes into it for the service provided.

Over there, they have the same thing but it’s run out of municipal funds, so people go into all sorts of TRIM (fitness) centers, are tested and put on individual programmes, everything.

But certainly not at the cost it is over here. That’s provided by the community. It’s totally different.

I think you need a lot of everything, to return to ‘-your question. You need a service system (to provide facilities) but you need also an attitude that people become fit in their own right. I think you have to motivate people to become fit. I really do. I don’t think it% a self motivation.

Not originally.

CHEVRON: How do they do that? Is it in the school system, starting at an early age?

HOPKINS: Certainly, but there are ‘some differences that have to be realized. One, they have good availability of facilities, of opportunities for everyone.

They have pretty well equal opportunities for males and females although -males still participate more than females. Probably the same arguments they have here serve to explain that - cultural factors and skill levels.

They only have one TV station and-1 think that’s an important factor. They don’t watch TV. They do other things. If you think how many hours people watch TV here-if you convert that into other experiences you have something like 20 hours a week which they use in a different way than we do.

CHEVRON: That’s probably a conscious thing.

They could have the lo-15 stations we have here.

There’s no reason they couldn’t.

HOPKINS: Well, again, it’s a government controlled situation.

Whether they want competition, I don’t know. They just don’t have the emphasis on the private commercial segment. They’re totally different in their concerns. It’s almost all community service-government sponsored.

You don’t find many private clubs, even -golf clubs. They don’t exist that way. They’re all somehow related back to the government and get monies from that source, at I one level or another. I could be wrong but certainly the majority are not private.

“Presumably

by Jacob Arseneault and Brenda Wilson

\

“We don’t want their involvement or interference, but we want their money.”

CHEVRON! What are the different levels? How are these things funded structurally?

HOPKINS: In regard to sport they have an overall body called a sports federation in each country.

Within that they have anywhere from 44-54 (in Sweden) distinct single sports groups-swimming groups, football, hockey, etc.-and they are all part of the national organization as distinct single sports groups. So there’s anational base to the whole thing, but it’s not just an Olympic sports thing.

Then there’s a regional level and a muncipal level each with a governing body. They may have at a municipal level only 20 groups but it doesn’t matter, they plug into the regional and national levels for what they want.

They’re funded by the national body, by the regional body and by ‘the municipal body. They’re funded for programmes but they’re also funded for facilities.

So, the communities, particularly the municipalities will build the facilities and then rent them out at nominal rates for all sports clubs. The municipalities’ do not necessarily run the programmes, rather the sports clubs run their own programmes using municipal facilities.

“There’s much better co-operation between various agencies to provide a service as opposed to what seems to be the building of empires here.”

CHEVRON:How do they coordinate them?

HOPKINS: Through their committee structure.

And a lot of them are volunteers.

CHEVRON: We have a similar sort of thing for kids - peewee baseball, soccer leagues, but it doesn’t really extend beyond the 14 or 15 year olds.

HOPKINS: They’re not necessarily clubs. They’re more interest groups. They’re somewhat similar but I think there% a stronger liaison with community ret people here, than there is over there. I still think we are quite programme oriented here as opposed to facility oriented. They’re very interested in the long. range facility planning and the maintenance, which I *. think is preferable.

The other interesting thing is that people, if they’re in a particular job know exactly what their job is. That sounds funny but there is a pecking order, a bureaucratic hierarchy that’s very well established, and everyone knows the limitations of their job and they don’t usurp or infringe upon anyone else’s position. So everyone understands where their slot is in the system. I think it’s also good

I think they exist in co-operating, in comover thirty. I didn’t just see that once. I saw it in plimenting one another, but for different reasons. many countries.

That’s the club concept. People are YGu know, I get in arguments with people who say involved at their own level of ability or they just play we’ll have a hundred hockey teams and eventually pick-up or indoor soccer. you’ll get one guy who’ll make it into the pros.

The most striking example was in the forest parks That’s a natural attrition rate. You should have a around Oslo. This park surrounds the whole city of hundred hockey teams at all levels and not just use Oslo and it’s accessible by public transport, You go one as a pyramid effect on participation.

That’s a to the end of the streetcar line, get off and you’re in a negative concept. If you could have 200 pro teams park.

Now there’s no way you’d see that in Canada. It seems obvious to me that if you have this so readily available ‘and so aesthetically pleasing, it just induces people to go “We are quite programme oriented here out and do something.

CHEVRON: It seems that we have a muchdifferent as opposed to being facility oriented.” problem here because we don’t have the basic awareness of fitness throughout the population, , amongst the adults. I wouldn’t know from what you’ve told us how to begin to alter the awareness of the people here.

And yet you have so ramming. They’re very proud of the way Americans many more house league teams. I’m not sure that do things, individually, and go to the Olympics and emphasis is correct. Why isn’t it on the young people win.. . who just want to go out and play and be active?

She didn’t ety. mind, her coach didn’t mind. Just because she’s,an Olympic diver doesn’t mean she needs a separate facility..

CHEVRON: Why doesn’t that sort of thing happen here?

Whether it’ll come to that, I don’t know, but you have to change the at! titudes.

CHEVRON: It seems obvious that if you’re going to change the attitudes that we have here then one of the places you’ll have to begin is in the schools.

CHEVRON: Children play for the sake of playing.

HOPKINS: Right.

CHEVRON: What happens?

HOPKINS: They get organized.

It’s no longer a children’s emphasis in Canada - it’s an adult emphasis. The models for minor sport are the adult models and the professional models. They’re not kid’s rules or programmes, they’re modelsof adult systems. As a result, in Canada, you get a 90% drop-out rate at 14 from minor sport. Obviously something’s wrong. Now there have been people doing a lot of things like Dr. Terry Orlich, who are trying to make people aware that they’ve, got to change if their prime interest is to have people have a positive experience because 90% are not getting that positive experience in sport.

But the parents and the administrators are still in control of the system. It seems to be getting more highly organized, higher emphasis on the win ethic and the scoreboard mentality.

And until you make sports an intrinsic thing rather than worrying about extrinsic rewards and the scoreboard you’re still going to have problems. Unless you can educate the kids - well, they probably don’t need educating educate the parents to educate the kids that sport for its own sake is intrinsically rewarding.

The most important thing is not the end result, but how well you’ve done, how well you’ve played, how satisfying an experience it was to you; it’s more important than the end bloody result of an activity.

You’ve got to get rid of that. This success orientation is a facade in somebody’s mind.

Where you start, I’m not sure. I’ve got a few ideas. But I think if you’re talking about team sports , you don’tjust have a competitive system, you have a fun system. I think we have models of that here now in our rec. sports. We don’t have a lot of emphasis on winning and losing and rules and officials. We don’t have any of that. You go out and if one team is short a few players the other team will give them a couple and they play. They play for the sake of play. They keep score but that’s not the important thing, it’s the co-operation of the game. They play for the sake of the game. But they’re people who may not be p.articipating at other levels.

I don’t believe that everyone’s interested in competitive sports.

There’s skill level problems, there’s attitudes about the failure in other sports that carry over.

Skill levels are really a problem, how to increase skills in people. Especially women because they’re afraid to go out, they’re worried about their skill level. You have to do something about in$-uction.

People are afraid to go out and even try a game of squash; they’re not going to go out and be embarassed on the squash court. You have to do something about that.

To get back to your question about schools, it can’t be just a part of the schools, it’s got to be a total educational system. For instance, in Scandinavia, industrial groups are redly involved in family recreation clubs run by the companies they work for.

That’s a new concept over here, it’s begun, but only just so. There are things beginning to happen here on many levels. These have to evolve and develop and everyone has to be involved in it.

I think the government’s got to get involved at the grass roots level, involved with people, make a lot more facilities av;uflable to the people - not to the elite people. They’ve got to secure recreation as something that everyone has a right to.

Over here most of our facilities are private, and that limits access. The reverse is true in Scandinavia, so everyone has equal access to the facilities. Plus they have abundant public facilities.

In Giitenburg, for example, a city of 400,000 people they have 180 squash courts.

In KitchenerWaterloo, by comparison, we have under twenty and most of those are at the University and are inaccessible to the public. And this is for 200,000 people. I played squash at one place in Giitenburg, on the fourth floor of a shopping center. They had their courts and saunas and everything.

I would send the school officals over to Scandinavia. Unless they see a different system and look to see if it can be implemented, then try it, they’re going to be slow in altering their attidutdes.

I think there has to be co-operation-between the school officals , the communities and resource people at the universities; they have to work together and avoid vertical empires. Until we start thinking beyond that, start thinking about total planning and total services, then nothing is, going to happen because everyone will be protective of his own little empire.

“Why did Billy Joe McAllister jump off the Ttilfahatchie Bridge? and what did he and Bobby Lee Hartley throw off it?” ’ Finding the answers to the above questions is probably one of the main reasons that anyone would want to see Ode to Billy Joe (playing at the Lyric Theatre in Kitchener).

The answers are adequately given, although shocking in nature. There are however, other reasons to go to see this movie.

Ode To Billy Joe gives an “interesting” statement on female sexuality - although disagreeable.

It shows that in order for a “young girl” to cross the bridge of adulthood, she must first sleep with her first man. Ironically enough, it was through not sleeping with “her man” that Bobby Lee Hartley was

able to show her maturity in this film.

Although the perspective given of the trials and tribulations of the young woman experiencing the c‘hanges ,+n her body and her emotions is an exaggerated one, it is nevertheless relieving to see that the film industry acknowledges that women are somewhat aware of their sexuality and sexual feelings.

The reasons one would want to see this film are bastardised by the presence of religion. Set in a “baptist” town, it is filled with the heavy guilt trips that the baptist minister plays on all the people of the town.

The power of religion alone would be strong enough to push anyone over the Tallahatchie Bridge.

shrewd or is he bluffing? is he a detective or is he an impersonator? is he straight or is he gay?) that his side-kick (would-be mistress) appears to be more of a nanny for him than anything else.

OK, so Peter Sellers doesn’t usually play a Chinaman, and his role doesn’t fit into this pattern.

But, for that matter, he doesn’t usually play anything usual, does he? His way of doing a parody of Charlie Chan is to somewhat underplay the part of a shrewd, perceptive investigator - who can smell poison in wine and not be fooled by a cow disguised as a moose, yet whose use of Chinglish (surely you’ve hkard of Franglais?) infuriates the super-literate Capote. Just the same, absurdity underplayed is still absurd.

“Doing what comes naturally” is hardly a matter of magnificent performances, but neither was it disappointing to watch all these wellknown players make asses of themselves - or at least of the famous characters of pulp fiction whom they represented.

Such humility is truly a delight considering the long run of films showing in this area that have centered around egotripping mat ho-types (Breaking Point, Gator, Missouri Breaks et al.)

It seems that Murder by Death is an attempt by a wise-guy writer to pull the carpet out from under the seriousness of the success of these characters who, in their mysterysolving, commit crimes on their readers which Neil Simon, for one (hopefully, the only one), finds as bad as murder; cheating!

“Introducing characters in the last 25 pages of the book”, “with. holding important clues from the readers” are some of the accusations leveled at the treacherous peepers. Why, they don’t even give their faithful readers a chance!

In some ways Simon doesn’t give his viewers a chance to grasp the subtleties of the action. Many ol the ironies and the hypocritical act: of the characters can only be seer as such if one has a familiarity wit1 the original books. There are alsc particular events in the film whicl seem to happen for no other reasor than to confuse people or to set (in z weak, almost cliche-like manner the foreboding mood, e.g. stem statues falling on all the guests a: they arrive (they all escape, 0‘ course; this is a film for general au diences), or the dining roon switching act, where it appears tha everyone in the dining-room ha: disappeared without realizing i (which sort of stretches credibilit! when you remember that they’re al supposed to be heavy-duty inves tigators; in fact it stretches absurdity.)

But even though the film’: promotion states that “Murder B! Death” is the worst kind (of mur der), this is certainly not the wors kind of film that one could see thesr days. Considering the mass slaugh ter that has “highlighted” cinem; screens around here recently mur der by this kind of death is a relief (Even more of a relief would be the “death” of murder in films .) How ever, the film is not very strong: the relief is short-lived as on& mem ory of the flit fades before you’ve gone very far from ‘the theatre.

UW lecture series

- Engineers Engineers will be the draftsmen of our society, if they don’t become aware of the interaction between technology.-and society, said H. Hoelscher, professor at the University of Pittsburgh, and former president of the Asian Institute of Tee hnology .

Hoelscher was addressing engineering students on July 5, as part of the Civil Engineering Distinguished Speaker Series.

Educated as a chemical engineer, Hoelscher has worked for the greater part of his 25year professional career in developing countries.

His interests have shifted from pure engineering to the study of the interphase between technology and society, an area neglected almost completely in North America.

He feels that any framework for the analysis of the “technologysociety set” must distinguish between three attributes of technology: -Software, resulting from the rational problem-sol ving effort required to produce a means with

which to meet some societal goal or need; -Hardware, which enables man to cope more effectively with his. environment (Most current university education stresses this attribute at the -expense of the other two); -Organization, demanded by the specific technology and then mirrored by a set of social roles.

He -connects these three attributes on a triangular, three-axis map. “Pure” examples of technologies, consisting pf only one of the three attributes, are relatively simple technologies.

As they become more sophisticated the relative importance of at least one other attribute increases.

Technology development describes a path on the I triangular map. As individual technologies change, the relative emphasis of the three attributes and the position on the map change.

Much of the technology-society interaction sensed by individuals arises from this shifting involvement of the three attributes of tech-

ARABISM is NAZISM! All throughout this term Salah Bachir has been telling us how the so called “Freedom Fighters” are out to destroy not the Jews but only the Zionists. I would like to see him explain to all of us the method the “Freedom Fighters” used to separate these Zionists from the rest of the passengers.

Did they ask them what their names were? or if they had Israeli passports? or was it the fact they spoke Hebrew? and what about the children, do they also pose a threat to his “Freedom Fighters’ ‘?

In fact the terrorists have separated not the Zionists but Jews from non-Jews.

The same method that Hitler has devised over thirty years ago. It is sad that most of the lb0 people were also part of the few that survived Hitler’s camps. In Hitler’s days it was called AntiSemitism today it is called AntiZionism.

The fighters of the-Warsaw Ghetto have set an example to all Jewish people all over the world.

We will no longer wait for the world to save us, nor will we let ourselves

or any Jew be led into the gas chambers in Europe or Africa.

The irony of the situation is that the action that Israel tookis characterised as “aggression” whereas the actions of Amin and the terrorists are not. Which in other terms means that if someone kidnaps you and the police are successful in freeing you, it is the police who are “aggressive” not the kidnapper.

But what choice did Israel have?

To trust the\faith of the Jews in the hands of a madman? This madman did ‘not only murder thousands of his own people but also openly admits to the morality and ways of Hitler and vows to kill as many Jews as possible.

It seems that Salah’s “Freedom Fighters” have adopted Hitler’s ideas and morals of the “Final Solution”.

nology. There is a strong “coupling” between the attributes change in one is b\oth cause and consequence in each of the other two. This may well be expected and, in part for this reason, resisted.

Hoelscher illustrated this -point_ with slides, mostly from his extensivesexperience in Southeast Asia.

He explained how the introduction of a road system in rural Thailand caused prompt interaction of local village power structures along that road, and the potential for diminuation of absolute authority.

He also pointed out that introduction of very large aircraft required new organizations to handle passenger needs and baggage.

Another aspect which can be explained with the aid of the triangular map is the question of scale. He hypothesizes that there must constantly be some degree of consonance between the scale of the hardware and the scale of the organization attribute.

Otherwise, technological change cannot be successful.

His conclusions are as follows: Firstly, the development path is

continuous, i.e. all attempts to short circuit the process will be counter-productive.

Secondly. technological development is a societal process; organizational changes must and inescapably will occur in tune with changes in hardware and software.

Attempts to bypass this global or systematic process must lead to less than satisfying results.

In view of the poor attendance at the lecture last week, it appears that engineers may well become if not already are-the draftsmen 01 -bans hartung our society.

Mercury poison,ers take Native- people’s land ’ OTTAWA (CUP) The livelihoods of 12,000 Native people living in 30 Indian communities may be wiped out if the Ontario government signs an agreement with Reed Paper allowing the company to log 16,000 square miles of timber on Indian land in Northern Ontario.

Confidential documents show the Ontario government and Reed are preparing to sign an agreement to let the company set up logging operations on land which belongs to Native people living in the Treaty 9 area.

Dryden paper, a wholly-owned Reed subsidiary, is the company responsible for dumping 3 1,000 pounds of mercury into the English-Wabigoon river system in Northwestern Ontario, causing the nerve-crippling Minamata disease among the population of the Whitedog and Grassy Narrows Indian reserves.

The closure of the river system virtually wiped out their economies.

While it has stopped polluting the system with mercury

the company has not paid compensation to the victims.

The area now under negotiation contains Ontario’s last stand of black spruce.

Environmentalists say the land will be turned into a massive swamp by logging operations .Under Treaty 9, signed by the Canadian government and Native people in 1905, the land is guaranteed to the Cree and Ojibway tribes who use it to hunt, fish and trap.

Reed executives have claimed the company will not log the entire area in one operation, and that a reforestation program will begin: But Reed is also planning to build a giant pulp mill, which will require logs from the--entire area to keep it running at capacity.

Native spokespeople say the land cannot be reforested in any event. The soils are either sandy and shallow, or clay like.

Logging in the clay soils area will result in a rise in the water table, they say, turning the area into a swamp, where seedlings would be

continued frdm page 1 classes and a wake *mourning the death of academic freedom. Members of the RAA occupied the office of Arts dean Jay Minasin order to force arbitration of the dispute between Forest and Renison.

Commenting after the announcement of Towler’s resignation, Forest called it a victory for the students and faculty and a vindication of the campaign waged against Towler and his arbitrary decision-making.

Following a year of open opposition to Towler, however, the attitude of students and faculty changed in the fall of 1975 after arbitration ruled that Forest had been fired for sufficient cause.

Towler disbanded the studentfaculty council and set up a faculty council with- reduced student representation in the summer of 1975.

The RAA dissolved and the faculty took its campaign against Towler behind closed doors. In December and March, the faculty clearly indicated to the board of governors its lack of confidence in Towler.

Students protested with their pens, by transferring out of Renison, and enrolment suffered during the past year.

Renison faculty member Bob Lehue says that the faculty kept its opposition to Towler private because of “distaste for what had happened” the year before, and as an attempt to reduce pressure on c the board.

During the past year, says Lehue, “it got to the point where\ his (Towler’s) resignation was all that mattered.

“His going was inevitable. It was a matter of the Board wishing the

Reed Paper is owned by Reec International Ltd., a British-basec company with holdings in 88 coun tries, including Rhodesia and Soutl Africa. 1974 sales were over $301 million, and the company hopes tc reach the $1 billion mark by 1980 when it expects its giant new mill tl be in operation.

problems would go away and him with them.”

Another faculty member told the chevran that the board’s approach to the faculty wa6“paternalistic”.

“The board tried to diffuse the issue. They didn’t try to buy us off, rather they tried to threaten us.

Their attitude was- to say ‘Accept the situation or leave.“’ The “lack of respect of the faculty by this board” has continued -despite the resignation of Towler.

This is demonstrated in the establishment of the committee to search for a new principal, he says.

“The way they’ve established the committee, -there’s no way that’s going to re-establish trust.”

The search committee is composed of four board members, two Renison faculty members (one of them appointed-directly by the board, one appointed frCrm a list of three submitted by the faculty), one faculty member from the University of Waterloo (appointed by the board from a list submitted to it by UW President Burt Matthews), two students appointed by the board, the Renison chaplain, and one member of the Renison administrative staff. * “We believe the composition is representative,” insists board executive member Giffen.

Lehue, however, says that he “would have liked to have seen more faculty involvement and better representation” on the search committee.

Nina Timoszewicz, who was a steering committee member of the RAA says t hat the whole procedure for choosing the search committee “stinks”.

“The people most directly in volvehin the college - student and faculty - are not being rep resented.

“The lack of adequate represen tation of students and the way thl students are appointed is indicativi of the attitude of the board for th last two years about studen input.”

Speaking about the entire Rend son affair, culminating in the resig nation of Towler, Timoszewicz al gued that the rights of students anI faculty to have a democratic role i determining the shape of their ow education were squelched.

Towler’s absence will not r-e verse that the determination of th board to rule arbitrarily, ignorin the interests and voice of studenl and faculty, she said.

Participation of the University c Waterloo is a new feature evider in the composition of the searc committee.

Lehue noted that in addition tf terms of reference of the searc committee will be drawn up by tl board in consultation with UW which gives the university stronger role in the affairs of tl college .

Giffen claims that this is a norm procedure, saying that “as we bi came more exposed to the pub1 view we sought more tradition precedents for what we did. II eluded in these would be consult; tion with the university.”

The plight of Cyprus There seems to be a deafening silence lately, in all public media, about the lives of -200,000 people living under the same miserable conditions that they have lived in since August 1974. Those 200,000 people are the / refugees of Cyprus. Their suffering is by no means their own doing, but the doinks of a small clique of multi-inillionaires and their private armies of politicians, henchmen and misinformed followers.

This clique has no nationality, for profit is raked from universal exploitation.

To them the entire world is a potential profit making pie& of machinery.

The British as a returning favour to the to their American’s huge subsidies economy, withdrew gradually from Cyprus after of course tremendous losses were suffered at the hands of Greek-Cypriot guerrilla freedom-fighters, and allowed the U.S.A. to take over the paternalistic and exploitati.ve role in the Greek peninsula, and in the MediterranZan. Thus in- 1960 we have a tripartite agreement by Britain, Greece, Turkey, guaranteeing the independence of Cyprus as a new nation. The population of Cyprus consists of 500,000 Greeks and 140,000 Turks. The latter were left behind when the Ottoman Empire collapsed. &ince the declaration of independence, the Americans through the C.I.A. and the Greek C.I.A. which they controlled, provoked numerous conflicts between Turkish and Greek Cypriots, with the ultimate goal in mind to have Greece and Turkey intervene militarily and thus split the island in two.

Greece and Turkey were both members of NATO and both had long term agreements with the U.S.A. about allowing U.S. military bases on their soil. Cyprus, due to its location, would become the unsinkable aircraft carrier of the Mediterranean.

Thus in 1964 a crisis was manufactured in Cyprus by the Greek lackeys of the C.f.A., that saw Turkey bombing Greek Cypriot villages, hospitals, churches etc with napalm bombs. The then Greek premier, Papandreou, whose Centre Democratic Party was popularly and democratically elected with a huge majority, took strong action, and almost brought Greece ioto war with Turkey. Johnson (then president of the U.S.A.) intervened directly and told the Turks to cool it. He (Johnson) summoned both leaders of Greece and Turkey and proposed to them that they split the island into the following proportions: fourfifths for Greece and one-fifth for Turkey.

The Greek premier rejected the proposal outright, for it was clear interference in the affairs of another independent state and recognised member of the U.N. That “no” cost Papandreou his premiership qpon his return to Greece.

The dark forces of reaction (everpresent after the conclusion of the &reek civil war in 1944-48) were Greek nationals but were employed and financed by the U.S.A. These elements in the army, the security forces and the political sphere, were mobilized. For two years Greece was boiling like a volcano.

Puppet governments competed for the shortest period in office. Orderly strikes and student demonstrations were turtled into riots by paid provocateurs.

Sotiris Petroulas (a student) was savagely beaten to-death by fascist elements of the Greek security forces. This manufactured chaos, had only one purpose, to prepare the ground for the military’ to intervene.

General elections were to be held on May of 1967. The Centre Democratic Party was expected to win a landslide majority, campaigning on the slogans “Greece out of NATO”, ‘ : Independent Greece”, “Americans Take Your Missiles Home” etc.

Thus on the 21st April 1967, the tanks‘ rolled into Athens Constitution Square. The

tic, fascist elements of the Greek forces.

The military junta had as a goal the maintenance of the American military bases, Also the assassination of in Greece.

Makarios (the ,President of Cyprus) whom Johnson had labelled the “Castro of the as he would not allow, Mediterranean” U.S.A. bases on Cyprus. It is useful to mention that the leader of the Greek Junta was George .Papadopoulos who was a Greek C.I.A. chief who had collaborated with the Nazis in the Second World War. Eight assassination attempts against Makarios took place in the junta’s eight years duration. The junta organized a coup d’ktat in Cyprus, tbppling Makarios, who . fled to London.

Turkey isstied an ultimatum to Greece to withdraw its Greek officers from Cyprus within three days or else the Turks would invade the iSland. The Greek junta, obeying always the orders of the U.S.A., refused to act, for the plan was to provoke the Turks to invade and thus give the niilitary solution that Johnson had asked for back in 1964, The junta called for from Papandreou. mobilization, but only to eliminate an internal revolution.

Thus Turkey claiming that its national minority was endangered by the new regime, intervened militarily.

In the beginning the Turks claimed that they were just obeying the tripartite accord of 1960 whichhad made the guarantee of the independence of Cyprus. They were calling for the return of Makarios.

Turkey had the backing of the USSR at first, but after it advanced its intention to conquer the 40% of the island (which represents 83% of its economic resources) and refused to stop even if Makarios was back, the Russians reversed their stand, while the U.S.A. said that they took too much.

Now let us see the reasons underlying this situation.

Cyprus lies in a very strategic position that can control the flow of traffic from east to west, and vice versa. After the developments in Portugal, which put into uncertainty the U.S.A. bases in the Azores, and the threat of another middle east War, Cyprus was the best suited place for bases. Also having a bitter experience of the oi-1 embargo by the Arabs, Cyprus could conceivably take the role of becoming a base for complicated missions into oil rich countries,*or outright invasions of them, and capture of the oilfields. The U,S.A. also felt that she had to counterbalance the increasing influence of the Soviets in the Mediterranean.

Also the probability of striking sizeable reserves of oil off the shores of Cyprus is another of the factors which together add up to the U.S.A. involvement in Cyprus.

Consequences: 4,000 Greek Cypriots dead, 10,000 wounded, 200,000 homeless, torture, rape, indignities. Human values all torn to pieces. The Turks (who had a small number of casualities) have a long history of genocides, the Armenians,, the Greeks in 1922, now theCypriots.

It is not the majority of the Turkish people though that are responsible for these crimes. It is their-oligarchy, that is financed by the C.I.A. and the clique that runs the U.S.A., that create all this destruction.

Still the puppets of Greect: are trying to solve the problem of Cyprus through NATO. That is to say that they have no respect for the U.N., w.hich calls for the immediate withdrawal of all foreign troops from the island and the reinstitution of the legal government of Archbishop Makarios.

It has also urged the Cypriots to solve their internal problems peacefully. .

The Turks stall the talks while they continuously move mainland Turks into deserted Greek homes and farms. The Turks refuse to go to the U.N. Meanwl$ile, 200,000 human beings, old people and babies, live in tents, victims of the inhumanity of a small clique of people.

The crime against Cyprus is one more crime against mankind.

The sub crib& ;’ + Mr. Mudie, director of Food Services, seems to have committed himself to removing the privately-owned Mr. Sandwich as a campus food suppliey,.

Mr. Sandwich currently supplies submarines & kaisers to the MathSoc & EngSoc coffee & donut stands, and has been for well over a year. During the past school year it also supplied ArtSoc and PsychSoc. Past suppliers of the Math stand have included Kitchener Dairies (which currently supplies the Grad Club) and Family Mini Mart.

Three years ago, before Mr. Sandwich appeared, Food Skrvices wa’s offered Math’s business but it was declined. Last summer Mr. Mudie began to -express an interest in supplying the sandwich end of the business.

He admitted he had no capabilities for supplying the coffee or donuts that we handled .’

In Fall 1975 Mr. Mudie demonstrated his alternathesto our subs and kaisers to a meeting of the Societies. They decided not to switch suppliers.

Several reasons were evident: 1) we had no complaint with Mr. Sandwich.

2) the quality of Food Services Food is notorious and would probably reduce business.

3) switching to Food Services may put Mr. Sandwich out of business, hence all impetus to maintain quality, price and sercie would disappear.

4) relations with Mr. Sandwich were friendly, why hurt a friend?

5) the alternatives (described as overgrown hotdog and hamburger buns) were not liked.

Following this meeting the Feds informed the Societies that they (the feds) were told that they wou,ld get a better deal in their negotiations with the University re the South Campus Hall if the Societies gave in.

Discussion with Food Services continued into the winter, when it was agreed that Mr. Mudie could begin supplying ArtSoc on a trial basis. He never executed the trial, ostensibly because the volume was not high enough.

1 A lull until spring w_hen CUPE president Mr. Liban was pressed into the game. He has been given the idea that doing business with Mr. Sand,wich was throwing hordes of his members out of work. While it is true that we could be supplying jobs, the Societies do not see that as their purpose. Societies are meant fo “promote and co-ordinate athletic, cultural, social and academic activities” - coffee & donut stands are meant to provide good food at cheap prices in convenient locations at convenient hours.

As to the claim that more Union people would be working I suggest that CUPE worry instead and wonder about their present full-time staff who are being ignored in favour of non-union cheaper part-timers.

The chevron has been having a field day with three articles by dionyx mcmichael, all of which have been noticeably pushing the Union viewpoint, trying to make the

r

Societies look like contradictory fools and scab employers. The student sources quoted in her articles have complained of have their comments twisted by editing them but of context.

This past year we have seen the replacement of the Union caretakers in University buildings by a non-union contracted firm, and the subsequent reinstatement of the Union people after the contracted firm did not maintain to the satisfaction of the University. May it be pointed out that the firing of dozens of Union people last fall did not raise the ire of the crusading chevron, the special interest groups, or the Union. Indeed the only complaints, that reached my ears concerned the messy buildings.

Is there some personal reason that Mr. Sandwich is being hounded?

There are countless examples of non-union labour and products being utilized and consumed on campus, by every group. Indeed it is a well known secret that any group controlling money just as a matter of course investigates the methods and possibilities of doing without the benefit of campus Union labour, because of the cost.

This is getting to be a very dirty issue and is not making anyone happy. Don’t the Societi& have the right to spend the money collected for them in the best manner they see fit - as can any other organization on campus?

Food stand talks begin The Federation-Administration-Society discussions about the kaiser and sub business on campus are not as complicated as some people are trying to imply. As it stands now the Federation and Societies have set up a committee of coffee shop managers to improve internal communication.

In previous discussions with the administration there was nbthing specific in writing, so Shane Roberts contacted the appropriate people in the administration and asked for written specifics and exact proposals on the Food Services situation.

From this point discussions will continue.

At no time have anti-union feelings been expressed, and mention of such is absurd.

Speculation on this subject just clouds the issue and misinforms observers.

This is just the discussion stage. No firm positions have been established yet by any of the parties involved.

The campus would be better served if the discussions were left to those who must negotiate and were not hindered by those who would speculate.
