Students Students employed by UW on ummer jobs are worried that they nay lose as much as $100 each if he anti-inflation board doesn’t deide soon on a contract signed by heir union and the university last une. The university employs about hirty students on summer jobs rom May 1 to August 3 1. About 25 If these students are covered under he agreemeet signed by CUPE Deal 793, and UW. This contract, effective July 1, rovides for a 10 per cent acrossle-board raise and a 1.2 per cent

mav lose-..inc~rea.seS/ H

benefit package increase. Students get 80 per cent of the normal rate for the job. However, the contract is subject to review by the AIB. And, the students say, they’ve been told they won’t get whatever raise the -AIB allows if the contract isn’t approved by the end of August. The students maintain that they should be paid the increases ret reactively whenever the contract is approved. Since its effective date was July 1, they feel they should be paid the increases for July and-August.

UW director of personnel Ernie told the chevron that the memorandum of agreement between the university and the union specifies -that the retroactive increases will be paid only to those who are on the payroll when the AIB ruling is handed down. This obviously confirms the students’ feai-s that they will be excluded unless the AIB acts before the August 3 1 deadline. But Lticy says he has -“a pretty strong feeling” that an AIB ruling will come -before that date. This feeling, he says, is based on com-

Lucy

munication between himself and AIB officers in Ottawa on the matter. John Liban, president of CUPE local 793, told the chevron that the university had insisted on the inclusion of this provision in the contract. , But he emphasized that it wasn’t directed against students specifically, and applies to anyone who is

not on the payroll when thit decision is made, except people who have retired. Liban also believes that the AIB ruling will be handed down in time to save the students’ increases, as the contract was signed in June and the AIB processing normally takes about six weeks. “It’s got to come this week or next week.” -adrian

Moves to protect native people’s nd rights have begun to take place the ‘North West Territories and, ith the support of white unionists, Northern Ontario. Faced with e continual pressure from indusv and government aimed at violatg aboriginal land rights and treaty eas, as well as crown lands, three dependent actions have underled the necessity of defending ainst the encroachment through lification. In Fort Norman, George Eras-E, newly-elected president of e Indian Biotherhood of the lrth West Territories, says irthern *Natives must unite ainst “our very, Very powerful emies” in order to ensure to sucss of their land claims. The. Brotherhood, racked by lit3 over the leadership for‘ the st six months, picked Erasmus a wide majority at their annual neral meeting in Fort Norman iy 6. Deposed leader James sh-Shee took the leadership ue to white courts in a reinstate:nt effort but failed. Addy Tobac, Yah-Shee supporter, was handily Feated in his leadership bid. Erasmus earlier told delegates lt any new leader would need, a ified organization to win land ims battles with the federal govlment . ‘The only way we can win the d of fight that we have in front of with our very, very powerful :mies - the oil companies, the era1 government-is if we come of this assembly with a leader t is backed and trusted by ihe jority of the Dene people.” yhe Metis Association, in a spe1 assembly session in Fort :Pherson July 10, said there were

pressured

still disagreements to iron out between the Indian and Metis groups. The two plan to submit a joint land claim to the federal government. The Metis have appointed negotiators to work out a common position by their annual assembly this fall. The N’ative people of the Northwest Tetitories have been pressured by Judd Buchanan, Minister of Indian and Northern Affairs, to formalize their land claims by this fall. The Indian Brotherhqod is starting to collate data and materials to make a comprehensive claim. Coincidentally, Digby Hunt h_as been shuffled out of his post as head government land claims negotiator. Hunt’s replacement had been demanded by various Native groups because of his hardheaded attitude during the Yukon claims negoiiations. Yukon Indians recently tore up an agreement in principle which Hunt had helped formulate. Energy, Mines and Resources announced last Monday that Hunt will become assistant deputy minister for energy policy. in Northwestern Meanwhile, Ontario, organized labor is throwing support behind Native people threatened by a massive logging operation in that part of the cduntryThe Canadian Paperworkers’ Union (CPU) said last week, it is opposed to any extension of cutting rights for Reed Paper Ltd.until there is a fuil disclosure of further planned development iri the area. The company wants to log a 16,000 square mile area for a giant pulp and paper operation. The land was ceded to Indians in the area by treaty in 1906. Native people say the logging operation will turn the region into a massive swamp, unfit for -human habitation.

.

“Crown lands are the property of the people and- policies currently pursued by Reed Paper, in our view, do not entitle them to use our forests,” a telegram from the CPU to Ontario premier William Davis said. CPU is on strike against Reed. Reed Paper owns the company that was responsible for dumping 31,000 tons of mercury into the English-Wabigoon River system, causing the threat of mercury poisoning in the Indian people living on two reserves in the area.

At a recent meeting of the student federation executive, Board of External Relations chairperson Mike Ura announced his resignation effective September 1st. This bx-ings to three the number of executive resignations since their installation in -April. . &a cited a new part-time position with C.U.S.O-;-(Canadian University Students Overseas) as the main reason for his departure. Speaker Ron Hatz was the first to resign his position along with his seat on Students’ Council. Hatz will be pursuing his academic work in Kings_ c ton. National Union of Students Liasion officer Ted Haugen also gave notice of his resignation at the end of August. Haugen has decided not to return to university in the fall. To fill the vacant positions student president Shane Roberts has considered “shuffling” some executive members to different portfolios. Roberts also pointed out that open positions would -be advertised in the Chevron at the start of the new academic year.

When campus station Radio Waterloo goes on the air again on September 4, it will probably be in stereo, but the station won’t have its own call letters for a while yet. RadWat staffer Bill Wharrie told the chevron that while they’re working on setting up stereo, it still was “not 100 per cent, but like 95 per cent sure for September’ ’ . As for the call letters, RadWat co-ordinator Dave Assman had earlier told.the chevron that an application had been sent to the federal department of communications for the letters CKLA. He said these letters had no significance beyond the fact that s&fers thought they sounded okay, and no other station had registered {hem yet, accordin’g to the published lists. But RadWat has since been informed that another station had previously requested those call letters, and been granted them. They had not been listed as that station is not yet in operation. So it may be quite some time before the local station can hassle through the bureaucracy to get call letters of its own. Radio Waterloo will hold its organizational meeting on September 15 in the campus centre building. -adrian

LITERACY

TESTS

TORONTO (CUP)-Ontario’s community colleges have joined the growing number of institutions developing literacy tests for potential students. At a recent meetfng the English department heads of the province’s 22 colleges and one technology institute voted to develop a test to measure entrance and graduating standards in college programs. A common test for Ontario’s college system is necessary because “high schools are graduating illiterates who,shouldn’t have passed grade 9,” the department heads claim. The colleges must accept high school graduates but about 20 per cent of these need remedial help, meeting chairman Ron Slavik estimated. The move coincides with a recent-decision at the University of British Columbia to implement a literacy test to screen potential students by 1979.

cutbacks \

TYlie~ Lowdown Students entering the Universiiy f Waterloo for the fall term 1973 rere greeted by an enthusiastic arcle on local public transit in the levron of August 17 that year. The article began . . . “Incoming eshmen at Waterloo this year ave a break over all previous clas:s - the cities of Kitchener and laterloo have revamped their. ansit system this year, and the relit is a much more accessible and lnvenient bus system than be‘\ jr-e.” Three years later, the transit heel has turned full circle, and udents this year have to face a {stem which is now less “accessie and convenient” than it was in 173 or 1974 or 1975. Students - and everyone who :pends on public transportation - have to contend with two sets of itbacks in Twin City bus services is year. . The first cutbacks - which afct UW students most directly L ive already gone into effect. ther cutbacks scheduled for Ocber won’t apply to the university ‘ea. The main change affecting UW is at the bus which formerly entered e campus from the Columbia reet side and traversed the eastn arc of the ring road, making its Lit on University avenue, no nger comes to campus. This means there’s no service on e east (engineering) side ofcamIS. Those wrap-around stickers

on the bus stops saying “service discontinued” should be taken quite seriously. The mainline University avenue bus continues its visits, entering at South Campus Hall and covering the western side. But overall, service to the campus is less frequent: in effect, it has been cut in half. This is the scheduleMonday to Friday; 6 to 9am. every 16 minutes 9am. to 3pm. every 22 minutes 3pm. to 6pm. every 12 minutes _ 6pm. to 8pm. every 22 minutes 8pm. to midnight every 20 minutes. -._ What UW bus-riders can do to offset the reduced service, according to Kitchener Transit planner Victor Cot& is to make much greater use of the number 8 loop. These buses don’t come on to the ring road, but they do stop at the glassed-in shelter at University and Seagram, right across from South Campus Hall, and at the bench on the other side of the avenue. On this route, alternate buses run in opposite directions along University avenue, one bus going to King street, the next to Westmount road. Coti says he’d like to see a grea1ter proportion of UW people using the number 8 loop. It’s been in service for three years, but, he says, most people apparently haven’t

This student realises that, with the longer inter,vals between stay at the bus stop.

caught on to the fact that it takes them downtown and to Fairview Plaze. If you take the Westmount bus, he says, it will get you downtown Kitchener faster than the mainline University bus. Another advantage of the number 8 loop is that it runs at between 25 and 30 per cent of capacity even during the day, while other mainline buses are between 60 and 70 percent full ‘on the average at peak hours. So using the number 8 loop may mean the difference between sitting and having to stand>on another route. There’s a bus going by every ten minutes on the loop during peak hours, in one direction or the other, as against every 16 minutes for the mainline University bus during the morning peak, and every t-welve minutes in the afternoon. Cote added that Transit operates a phone information service with two staffers who answer questions from busriders, and give advice on planning the most convenient routes for individual needs. The number is 885-7373. According to Cot& behind the transit cutbacks lies a situation which is-forcing many transit systems, and not only KW, to pare services and to tighten up generally. A report prepared by Kitchener’s traffic services last month pointed out that “the operation of Transit has continually, from 1955 to the present, lowered the ratio between revenue passengers and revenue miles. That is, passenger volume has either not responded to increased Transit miles or has diminished, regardless of Transit miles. One obvious factor that illustrates the negative growth, in 1955 with a much smaller population, Kitchener Transit-carried almost the equivalent riders that it did in 1974” ._ Translated out of Bureaucratese, what that seems to mean is that there’s been an overall drop in the proportion of the population using public transportation over the last twenty years and that any extensions of the system have not arrested this tendency. The result of this, says the report, is that while there were 6.5 “revenue passengers” per “revenue mile” in 1955, and the ratio was still above 5 to 1 in 1969, it has continually fallen since-then. I$pecially dramatic drops occurred in 1972 and 1973, which coincided with the expansion of transit ser.

Anyone who says there’s not a hell of a lot to do in KitchenerWaterloo’ come Friday night isn’t exactly being reckless just picky. To be sure, prosperous and beer-loving K-W isn’t alive with the sound of music, but it can boast some restaurants worth knowing and even the occasional dancefloor - if you don’t mind kicking up your heels to-disco. Being a penny-conscious student, you likely rely on your feet, your bicycle or public transit to get around town and you turn up your nose at anything costing more than five bucks a head on your night out. So, with this in mind, the chevron conducted a survey of some cheap and easy-to-get-to restaurants in the Twin Cities.. \ The Lovely Inn vegetarian restaurant, “where food is prepared with love”, is the right place to go if you want a full-course meal for only three dollars a person. And it’s located atop a health food store at 14A Charles St. W., Kitchener. The small, windowless dining room isn’t much to look at but Dan and Ellen Shaffer more than make -up for it by offering varied meals zooked with natural ingredients: The main dish changes every day and a typical menu could read:- a lahl soup (made from lentils) or salad, a cabbage and pea curry,, )rown rice, her-bed vegetables and loney ice cream or apple butter squares for dessert. To drink :here’s cider, freshly apple squeezed orange juice or carrot uice to choose from. Just around the corner is the 4chilles Heel, 30 Ontario St. S., a icenced cafeteria-style restaurant with live entertainment every night If the week. By 10:00 pm., the warm, red coridor of a dining room is packed with Europeans, students and pro‘essors enjoying the “food, atmos>here and friendliness,” according o owner George Eliakis. The nusic is loud and the dancefloor is I mere hankerchief but that doesn’t Irevent customers from breaking heir glasses in appreciation of such as the Islanders from groups 3reece or Everyday’s People from am,aica. \

// Et dining Eliakis takes pride in his food, offering mainly Greek and Canadian dishes with just a touch of Eastern Europe on the side. ’ For $2.75 you can get mousaka, a tasty, layered combination of egg plant, ground beef and potatoes topped with cheese sauce,’ and served with vegetables and rice. For the same price, there’s poikilia, an exotic platter of sliced ham, vine leaves, hard-cooked egg, Russian Salad, tomatoes, anchovies and crumbly feta cheese. Afterwards, try the rich-looking Greek cakes or the delicious honey-soaked baklava for 75 cents. The restaurant stays open until 3:00 am Thursday, Friday and Saturday and until 1:OO am. the rest of the week. The India Cave, 30 Young St., Kitchener, is a humble little place with straw mats on the walls and a big Pepsi-Cola clock greeting you as you enter. The meals are a little more expensive here with a dinner for two coming to about $12 if you’re careful, but many of the ingredients are imported and it’s well worth it for the adventure of eating something different. For an appetizer, you shouid try the samosa, a crisp hot turnover with a spicy vegetable filling or, even better, a plate of pakoras, vegetables coated with gram flour and deep-fried to a golden color. There are numerous mild, medium and hot curries made with chicken, beef, lamb and shrimp, but the greatest of these is chicken kashmir. It’s dish a recommended to those just warming up to curried food; cooked with apples, bananas and seasonal fruit, it has a mild flavor. Chicken vindaloo is prepared in a heavy, medium-hot sauce with small potatoes while chicken madras is the hottest of all in its thick, highly spiced sauce flavored with lime juice. To make most of the sauce, they should be eaten with delicately spiced pillau rice or the spicier biryani - rice cooked with eggs, nuts and sultanas. A side dish of yoghurt called raita and a tall -yoghurt drink called a lassi are a welcome complement to the spice which even finds its way

into the after-dinner tea. The Cafe Mozart, 38 Queen St. S., Kitchener, and 38 King St. S., Waterloo, isn’t exactly a restaurant but it has the Twin Cities’ best filtered coffee and the world’s most tempting cakes. , Chocolate, rum, apple, cheese, butter cream, nougat, hazelnut, marzipan, strawberry, pineappleorange cream - they’re expensive, about a dollar a slice, although there are less gorgeous pastries for as little as 45 cents. However, anything that gets you through the winter is worth it. Charlie’s Restaurant and Tavern is a slick little money-maker at 24 Charles St. W., Kitchener, a former factory gussied up with curtained brass railings, glittering lamps and* old-timey posters to evoke the spirit of the “gay nineties” era. For some unknown reason, two sparkling pinball machines greet you inside the elegant doors imported from a church in Quebec.

The menu boasts “the world’s best salad bar” and in fact there are at least 20 different bowls to sample including sardines, lentils, salmon and chick-peas - you can heap your plate for $1.99. Charlie’s is fully licenced and the alcohol is very reasonably priced with a standard $1.50 for cocktails and $4.99 and up Ifor bottled imported wine. Avoid the mediocre pizzas and submarines by sticking to featured dinners such as the $4.99 chicken cacciatore smothered in winecooked vegetables with a helping of spaghetti and a trip to the salad bar. In addition, ravioli, baked riggatoni, lasagne and spaghetti with a wide variety of sauces are all priced under $4.00. To top it all off, there’s fresh fruit with whipped cream and espresso or cappuccino coffee for dessert. And fqy,

will be broken-in come fall when there is disco music Tuesday to Saturday nights. One place where the pizzas and submarines actually surpass the dinners in quality is Pepi’s Pizza and Tavern, 62 King St. S., Waterloo. This is a licenced, cheerfullooking restaurant under the management of lanky Bill Weirmier who also bar-tends, cashiers and waits tables. Here the pizza has a thin, crisp crust with plenty of tomato sauce and generous amounts of cheese and the fixings of your choice. Likewise, the grilled submarines are slim of bun and stuffed with cheese, steak, vegetables or sliced meats ranging in price from $1.45 to $2.90.

The dinners are less inspired but still generous, with the exception of lasagne, decidedly underweight at $3.65. Including a round trip to a salad bar and great slabs of garlic bread, they instantly look much better as daily specials. Where else can you find spaghetti, rigatoni or baked ravioli for 99 cents? And starting in September there’ll be entertainment too starring Greg Beer at the piano nightly Thursday to Saturday. If you’re in downtown Kitchener . looking for lunch or a light dinner, a good choice is Gracey’s, 112 King St. W., once the home of the Garnet as the sign still testifies. It’s a dim, cool cavern of a place with plants everywhere and young people in Gracey T-shirts taking orders for bagels and cream cheese, of all things, and marinated herring in mayonnaise. However, you’re more likely to overhear orders for the delicious baked onion and minestrone soup. Omelettes here are made with three eggs folding in asparagus, cheese, mushrooms or ham and chopped onions together with crisp french fries, lettuce and tomatoes for under $2.00. But sandwiches whether hot or cold are Gracey’s specialty, and . are prepared with tasty french and rye bread. The best of the hot sandwiches is turkey with mushroom sauce for $2.75 including french fries and tomatoes. Another good meal at the same price is the Hungarian paprika goulash pot, a thick beefy stew with parsley potatoes on the side. The most expensive item on the menu is prime roast beef in madeira sauce for $2.95. -dionyx

SVudetit housing causes Confusion As peaches appear on the trees around St. Catharines, and tobacco is harvested in the fields near Tilsonburg, so do headlines, around this time of year bloom on newspapers in the Kitchener - Waterloo area. For at least the last three years, I as the city-and campus brace themselves for the Septmeber wave of 15,000 students, the cry has gone up for more housing. It is often a chorus emanating from the twouniversities and their i student councils, but this year they

are not in harmony, and if the truth be known nobody really knows if there is yet another housing crisis, or if there is even a problem.. Al Woodcock, UW’s associate housing director; isn’t sure. He told the chevron that statistically the situation is better than last year, but to listen to the people go through his office, he said, there seems to be a problem. Gary Dryden, a student federation fieldworker looking into the situation, also said that from the people he has spoken to “It’s damn

near impossible to find accomodation..“But he also conceded that he doesn’t know the size of the prob. lem. While down the road at Wilfrid Laurier University, housing officer Margaret Lippert told the chevron the accomodation picture “is the worst I’ve ever seen it.” Though she-also admitted that it is difficult to get a true picture. The main problem she cited is that a lot of people haven’t posted rooms -with her yet and she thinks many of

them may be on holiday: others, she feels, are just leaving it to the last minute before they advertise. This is typical of the confusion which has surrounded this issue in the past. Warnings go out about a possible housing shortage and articles to that effect begin to appear in the local media; occasionally even gaining national prominence. But toward the middle of September when students are settling down the story\ seems to end. There are no tales of students sleeping in the streets, or the like, and few about

them living in squalid conditions. (The local- Landlord - Tenants Advisory Bureau told the chevron that over the years there have been very few complaints from students about poor living conditions.) The theory most often used to explain the demise of the “housing story” is that the publicity given to the problem brings forth rooms from the community and so a disaster is averted. Such was the argument in 1974 when the student council allocated $3,500 to buy tents and erect them in anticipation of a on campus, housing crisis. The tents averaged seven tenants a night during registration and housed 24 homeless students on the first day of classes. But the housing story which gained national coverage that week died the next when, due to a lack of occupiers, the tents were up for sale. Eight 9 by 12 tents at $35 a piece‘and fifteen 9 by 9 tents at $30 each were advertised in the next week’s chevron. There will be no ‘tent city’ this year however, according to Dryden. He said “it was a great success with the media but not with the people because a lot didn’t want to sleep out there in the cold”. This year, he said, the federation is planning a poster campaign of the twin cities to encourage householders to rent to students. That call to the community was one which Woodcock, though contemplating, was not prepared to make last week, because he wasn’t sure how critical the situation was. The problem with making a plea to the community, he said, is that some citizens who don’t normally rent rooms may go to some bother and expense in fixing-up a room and then not have it taken. Last week the housing office had 194 beds on its list-two short of the number available at the same time last year. The feeling of the workers in the office is that students came in search of a place earlier this year. Woodcock estimated that they .have already put about 100 students to bed, and the number coming in now doesn’t seem as great as last year. The housing office deals mainly with room? and has -only a’ few apartments listed. The availability of apartments, however, seems to be on a par with last year. The president of the Waterloo Region Apartment Owners Association, Tony Bergmeier, expects the vacancy rate to be the same -four per cent. The number-of column inches in the local paper devoted to apartments also tells the same story. For the first week of August they averaged between seven to nine columns. Furnished apartments, however, and furnished rooms are few and are down considerably on previous years. According to Bergmeier the prices for apartments are: $170 a month for one bedroom; and $190 for two, while the housing office lists $20 a week as the average price for a room and $33 for full board. There has been some talk of bans on student tenants in apartment ‘buildings. An apartment superintendent told the chevron recently she knows of several places which won’t take students, but’she declined to name them. Bergmeier said he didn’t know of any and in general it doesn’t seem to have officials worried as much as it has in previous year. -neiil

Nf/d students face increase ST. JOHN’s, NFLD. (CUP) Students at Memorial University face a 10 per cent tuition fee hike. and increased residence rents this fall ‘as well as immediate suspension if winter term fees are not paid within 30 days, president M-0. Morgan announced recently. Student union executive Neil Tilley called the increases an assault on the welfare of all students.” He said “the union plans to organize student support-against the hikes,” adding that “the suspension policy simply cannot be allowed to happen.” The policy also levies a 12 per cent interest charge against overdue fees. Saying that Memorial’s tuition and residence fees are the lowest, among comparable institutions in the Atlantic region, MorgBn

Gays banned COLUMBIA, MO. (CUP)-A federal judge has-upheld the right of the University of Missouri to refuse official recognition of a, campus homosexual association. Despite student and faculty support for the club, Gay Lib, administration and the board of governors balked at allowing use of campus facilities and access to student activity funds. The judge ruled the university could withhold recognition of Gay Lib because of state laws against sodomy. .

nonetheless predicted further tuition hikes, program and service cutbacks and dropping enrolment. He blamed the new federalprovincial Fiscal Arrangements Act proposals for the university’s bleak economic outlook. Newfoundland’s post-secondary institutions stand to lose $14 million a year, he said, if the federal government goes ahead with a transfer of income tax points to the provinces and cash grant increases paralleling gross nationai product growth to finance post-secondary education. The present FAA agreement, which expires in March, is based on a cost-sharing plan with the federal government inatc -. hing provincial funds. National Union of Students Atlantic fieldworker Miguel Figueroa said, “Obviously tuition increases are no solution; they can’t prevent. serious cutbacks and enrolment drops.” He said athe Memorial fee increase is part of a general attack on students across the country. A joint NUS-student union brief states only 45 per cent of Newfoundland students had secured jobs through Canada Manpower Centres by mid-July. It includes a manpower officer’s speculation that only 18 to 20 per cent of the province’s students will finish the summer with 12 or more weeks of work. Student summer saving contributions are based on that time period in student loan applications. The brief adds that by mid-July &student aid officers hadn’t incorporated the fee increase in their formulas and that this will likely produce inadequate loans and grants.

In this production, Isabella is not the self-righteous prude some critics have labelled her, but a symbol of purity and chastity, a humble and highly principled woman who agonizes over -her dilemma but whose convictions remain steadfast and consistent. ,Martha Henry is superb as Isabella. Beneath her austerity and upright simplicity, Ms. Henry’s Isabella has a strong under-current of passion and selfpossession that makes her the most remarkable character in the play.

HATE SESSION. (

I a

l

1984 is rapidly approaching; in fact it is only 8 years away. Already we can see many foreshadowings of Orwell’s Negative Utopia. The science community has a “NEWSPEAK” which the layman cannot understand. Some people say Big Brother is watching us in the form of the RCMP. Civil and Individual rights are being crushed in the interest of “Public Security”; this can be witnessed by the Olympic security hassles. We do not have a “Thought Police” butthe Media certainly has control over our thoughts and ideas, this is witnessed in the success of massive advertising campaigns. The government is re-evaluating its views on the role of the university in modern society, and it is one of a product oriented institution. -Do we really know what our government is doing, and for that matter do we need to know? Many bureaucrats think not, We can see evidence of the life blood of individualism being sapped, and an “Official Plan” taking precedence. We have seen cases where largecompanies induced food staple shortages to benefit their profits. Do we really know the full implications of genetic engineering ? And what of the secretive experiments going on in our prisons and mental institutions? All of these issues and questions affect and are of importance to us as students and as residents of the planet ,Earth. . .

The Federation of Students, Board of Education will be exploring these and other issues, during “TOWARDS 1984” in September and in the following weeks and months. This can only happen through student involvement. We need people to provide ideas, create publicity, put up posters, call speakers, etc.

. PLO campaignse for Jewish rights * We have reprinted the following- articles from the Britjsh publication “Free Palestine” because they outline some im$ortant positions being taken by the Palestine Liberation Organisation. The first article outlines initiatives being taken by the organisation to improve the conditions for jews living in Arab countries. It also reiterates the very important distinctjon between /ews and Zionists: /ews being people who profess judaism; while Zionists are those who believe-in the establishment of a national home for jeivs in Palestine. The second article explains the importance oT a recent move by the PLO to have closer relaions with Peking.

Important and far-reaching initiatives are now being undertaken by- the Palestinian Liberation Organisation regarding the rights of Jews in ‘the Arab, world. Simultaneously, the PLO is working on two fronts to bring about a situation which will provide an important step in their liberation programme. The PLO strategy centres on resolving the future of both Israeli Jews in Palestine, and the treatment of Arab Jews in’ other Middle Eastern countries. ‘- Although isolated news items have appeared in recent months regarding moves by various Arab countries to facilitate the _ return of Arab Jews, it is not realised that these have been brought about by a concerted PLO campaign within the Arab world. Top pan-Arab politicians are involved in formulating a massive multimillion dollar programme to assist in the repatriation of Arab Jews to their original homelands. The success of such .a programme, if well received by Oriental Jews in Israel, would further weaken the Zionist state by drastically reducing the number of Jewish immigrants living in Palestine. Palestinian leaders believe that once the programme is set in motion, and backed by genuine efforts by the Arab governments concerned to assist with repatriation, there is a serious prospect of tens of thousands of Oriental Jews leaving Israel. European Zionist settlers in Palestine have held political, and economic power in the state of Israel since its creation in 1948. Oriental Jews living in the Arab world were not involved in the formation ’ of the Zionist movement in Europe; nor did they face the problems of antiSemitism directed towards the. Jews of Europe. When the State of Israel was established in 1948, the European Zionists embarked on a campaign to bring Jews from Arab countries to Palestine to boost the Jewish population - a prerequisite for a Jewish state. Israeli agents have since recorded in their memoirs the activities conducted in

Iraq, Egypt and Morocco to bring about a mass exodus of Arab Jews. Their missions and bombs planted - included-assassinations . in synagogues. PLO leaders also recognise that the traumatic events experienced by the Palestinians brought some resentment towards the Jews in the Arab world. PLO leaders confide that several reactionary Arabs exploited the situation. The PLO, therefore,, has been working over a period of several years to reverse the situation, and create a new atmosphere in which Arab Jews will be freely accepted within their- original Arab homelands. The PLO initiative is not intended as a

No strings attached

threat to Jews now living in Palestine. Those who wish to remain will be entitled to do so. This commitment - a pledge to Israeli Jews that in a liberated Palestine they will enjoy equal rights within a secular and democratic state - was adopted as official PLO policy in 1971, by a meeting of the Palestine National Council. -A further important development espetted before the end of this year will be a recommendation to the PNC meeting that the National Covenant of the PLO be amended to come in line with the 1971 policy decision. The

National

Covenant

PLO courts Peking Considerable political significance is at-. tached in Palestinian circles to the recent visit to Peking by the Palestinine Liberation Organisation’s political department head, Farouk Qaddoumi, who returned to the Middle East on May 4th. Observers point out that this was the first time that a high-level PLO delegation has visited China, although the Palestinian guerilla organisation which has the largest weight in the PLO, Fatah, has enjoyed close cooperation with Peking for more than ten years. ’ The visit by Qaddoumi, who is the PLO’s top diplomat - and unofficial ‘Foreign Minister’, takes relations between the PLO itself-and China into a new phase, and _ the move is seen a,s a carefully calculated step within the complex and delicate context of Middle East politics. The PLO’s initiative to strengthen its links with Peking was clearly made with one eye on- Moscow - not as a rebuff, but as a reminder that the Palestinian organisation is not dependent on the Kremlin and that there are other world forces to which it can turn. The Soviets accept United Nations resolution 242 and recognise Israel, and urge the PLO to do the same and to participate in a-revised Geneva Peace Conference. However, the PLO is intent on keeping its ‘options open, and judges that the time is not ripe for a Geneva resumption, not least because America and Israel do not yet accept the PLO’s existence. The PLO thus feels that peace efforts at present are heading in what Palestinians call a ‘liquidationist’ direction, meaning that a peace settlement concluded in current circumstances would permanently dispose of the Palestinian birthright in ex-

change for a mess of pottage - a tame Palestinian statelet pn the Jordan’s West Bank. In addition to the general feeling of constriction in view of Soviet policy, the Palestinian ‘Rejection Front’ has complained that Moscow has been urging Fatah to suppress the rejectionist groups, which oppose any form of Middle East settlement with Israel. In fact, recent months have seen quite the opposite - a rapprochement between Fatah and the leading rejectionist group, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), primarily as a reaction to Syrian pressure on the Palestinian .movement in Lebanon. - Meanwhile the Palestinian group most closely aligned with Moscow, the Democratic Front (DFLP), has taken up a position close to the Syrian-backed Saiqu Organisation and become partially isolated from the rest of the Palestinian movement. The growing Syrian heat on the Palestinians in Lebanon led the PLO ‘to make overtures to Egypt in a bid to counterbalance the Syrians, and the initiative to.wards Peking is in many respects a parallel to this move on a slightly higher plane. In practical terms the new phase of PLO relations with China is unlikely to lead to any dramatic physical results, for Fatah already receives substantial free aid and the bulk of its weaponry - about 80 per cent - from Chinese sources, and beyond counselling the Palestinians against the ‘false friendship’ of Moscow, Peking’s aid to Fatah has been entirely without political strings -. a fact highly appreciated by the Palestinian group, whose policy is to accept aid and support from virtually any source provided it does not compromise its independence. -jim

tiuir

Jews living in Palestine before the Zionist invasion will be entitled to remain in Palestine. T The contradiction is obvious, but PLO leaders occupied with other pressing matters - the Jordan Civil War, the October War and the Sinai agreement, and more recently in Lebanon - were unable to find time to make the necessary amendment to the National Covenant. Yet the pledge-to the Israeli Jews was seen by PLO leader Yasser Arafat as the central point of his speech to the United Nations General Assembly in 1974. It was repeated last year by PLO envoy Base1 Aql, when’ he addressed the UN Security Council. Speaking in Brussels on May 16th, Nabil Shaath, Chairman of the PLO Planning Council, and a close adviser to Arafat, announced that the National Covenant would be amended- at the next PNC meeting. He told a conference that had it not been for the Lebanese conflict, the PNC would have met at least six months ago to ratify the change. Meanwhile, on 4th May a member of the Al Fatah Central Committee said in an Arabic language programme broadcast by Voice of Palestine the PLO’s official radio station - that the PLO was ‘currently having extensive contacts with Arab countries about the return of Jews to their country of origin. ’ In the broadcast monitored by the BBC in Britain, Abu Mazin said that to date Sudan, Iraq, Morocco and the Yemen Arab Republic had expressed a readiness to receive Jewish citizens who wished to return to their motherland. He added that other Arab countries were getting ready to take a similar position. Abu Mazin’stressed that this invitation was not addressed only to the Jews residing in occupied Palestine, but to all Arab Jews, those residing in Europe, America and elsewhere. Abu Mazin said that Arab Embassies abroad had received instructions to facilitate the return formalities. He explained that when the Jews return, to their countries of origin, their assets will be returned to them as well as the interest due over the past period. If they did not have assets, he continued, they would be given financial assistance to enable them to settle down. The Palestinian leader also added, ‘One of the aims of the Palestinian Revolution is to see that anyone who was deported from his homeland has the right to return to it - a right which we are demanding for ourselves in order to establish a democratic Palestinian state on the land of Palestine. ’ He concluded: ‘The slogan of the Palestinian Revolution is that not- all Jews are Zionists, and some Zionists are not Jews.’ -louis

In your announcement of May 4th, you buted yet another burden to the foreign stugive two “circumstances” which you say dents in Ontario by giving them a massive prompted you to take these tuition increase. You view foreign students as a burden to measures: 1) “Mounting public concern

which “should be the,“Ontario Taxpayers”, While you make no attempt to reduced”. substantiate your position, an editorial in the Globe and Mail (April 30/76) which supports your position, attempts to do so. It raises the point that in 1973-4 there were at least 10,840 foreign students on student visas in Ontario universities and that “the province pays an average of $2;940.00 a year for its university students”. The editorial further notes that this means a cost of $32 million to the province for educating these students. The editorial did not mention, however, that whereas the provincial government spends $2940.00 per university student, the foreign students must bring in at least $3000.00 per year, which m-munts to over $32.5million coming into the Ontario economy. As to the savings for the Ontario Government. The president of the Students Administrative Council (SAC) of the University of Toronto determined that the revenue generated by raising the tuition of foreign students would be less than 0.6 percent of the Ministry of Colleges and Universities budget (SAC: June 3/76). ’ While you claim to be concerned about the Ontario taxpayers, the fact of the matter is that the Ontario government expenditure in 1975-6 was $11.3 billion, a rise of $1.5 billion from the previous fiscal year. your touching concern for the Ontario taxpayer is more clearly noted by the fact that the present Ontario government deficit is a -record $1,889 million for the 1975-76 fiscal year, and annual interest payments for that year on the provincal public debt were a record $719 million (source: 1976 Ontario Budget). When we examine your actions in the light of the real situation they. reveal much more than a righteous attempt to save a few paltry dollars. You are singling out foreign students for attack, and in essence blaming them for problems in the fmancing of your government, as well as trying to make them pay for these problems. This action is, part of a concerted effort by you to split students in the face of education and social service cutbacks ,and to prepare conditions for the intensification of the cutbacks themselves. In view of the fact that out of a total of 34,700 foreign students in post-secondary institutions in Canada at least 24,600 are from the Third World (Asia, Africa, and Latin America) this attack is linked to the racist Green Paper campaign launched by the federal government (figures from O.F.S.). Just as the fed:

era1 government blames immigrants from the Third World for the economic problems of society, you use foreign students as scapegoats for the economic problems of the Ontario taxpayers. In addition. this attack on foreign students follows the outlines of the HenderionReport (or “Report of the Special Program Review”) which is a plan to further attack the university community as well as other sectors (hospitals, civil servants, etc.). The Henderson Report, a government study, recommends a 65% tuition increase beginning in 1977-78 bringing tuition fees from an average of $588-in 1975-76 to $970. The report also suggests that the government adopt an ai1 loan-no grant scheme. If universities are not prepared to accept a 65% tuition increase, then they could be faced with a 20% staff cut. Clearly an intensification of the attacks on the university community is on the agenda. We note the position taken by the Ontario Federation of Students (OFS), who have condemned your attack as the promotion of racism and a prelude to an attack on all students (resolutions, OFS conference, Ottawa, July 3-6/76); and note also ,the statement by a representative of the international Student Association (ISA) of UW: “the increases are part of anattack on all students through the educational cutbacks and a continuation of the Green Paper anti-immigrant campaign.” (Chevron, June 25176). ’ This attack on foreigri students is part of an overall attack on all students through the education cutbacks, and part of the racist Green Paper campaign. It is also a move to prepare conditions for further attacking all students, faculty and staff through the education cutbacks. We agree with all the other student and non-student organizations and individuals who oppose this attack on foreign students (OFS and various university student councils, ISA at UW, etc.) and fully support their demand that it be revoked. As for your attempt to split students,.it is going to fail miserably. We are determined to unite ,with a!1 other student and non-student organizations to fight this sinister move. We are determined that the attack on foreign students be defeated.
