NUSgets onCeo,ver from EngSoc * The National Union of Students (NUS) is probably worth the dollar, but is the student federation worth $13? These are the questions which are surfacing in the engineering society as it begins to take a critical look at student organisations. EngSoc arranged a meeting last Friday between itself, the other and NUS fieldworker societies, Gavin Anderson. It seems ‘NUS came out of the meeting looking better than it went in. EngSoc ‘A’ president-elect Peter King said in an interview that prior to Friday the society viewed the national student organisation as another “useless appendage”. King said the history of NUS was explained, and the areas it has been

collecting and distributing information, and lobbying were outlined. He was impressed that the executive of NUS is comprised of all undergraduate students, none of whom are paid for their efforts. “The way student organisations should be run,” said King. The meeting was also informed that at the University of Manitoba the engineers were the driving force behind National Students Day. The engineers learned enpugh that they intend to keep closer tabs on NUS. They have been put on the NUS mailing list and hope one of their members will be on the federation delegation to the next conference. ’ In all, King left the meeting with

the impression that the four-yearold national organisation is accomplishing something and is probably worth a dollar per student. If the feeling is widespread, it is a significant change since engineering was the only faculty to vote against joining NUS last January. (The vote was 253 against, 242 for). The next move by EngSoc ‘A’ is likely to be an investigation of the federation to see if the engineering students are getting their money’s

worth, King told the chevron. “There’s no way we should have a fed president who is not a student when elected,” he said. Similarly, the newspaper editor should be a student when he/she takes up the position. ’ King feels a lot of the paid positions with the federation should be eliminated. He was particularly critical of the federation fieldworkers who, in his opinion, have provided “next to zero reports and

free I I the c

next to zero productTon.” He also hopes the society will investigate the federation bylaws and come-up with new proposals. EngSoc ‘A’ leaves campus at the end of term, not to return until the summer. Work, however, will continue in the off-term said King. Also he thinks EngSoc ‘B’, which will fill the gap, has a similar attitude ,toward the federation. -neil

Charges

laid

Office vandalised A vandal flung a heavy rock through a chevron newsroom window late last Sunday night. No one was injured in the incident, although staffers were in the room at the time. Moments after the window was broken, campus security police apprehended federation executive member Franz Klingender. Klingender was questioned in connection with the rock-throwing and security officer Nantais confirmed Wednesday night that he is being charged. Nantais said that a charge of wilful damage over $50 would be laid Thursday (yesterday) morning at Waterloo Regional Police Court. Klingender will be arraigned on the charge December 1. Chevron staffer Doug Hamilton described how he and five others, including Radio Waterloo staff member Phil Rogers and aldermanic candidate Tom Cody , were “sitting around talking” in the chevron office when the window

was broken. “Tom Cody and Randy Barkman ran outside,” he said. “I went over and stood just outside the layout area. The couch and sleeping bags were littered with glass.” Barkman reported going outside the campus centre and seeing Klingender and a security officer walking toward the chevron office from the direction of the PAC. Asked later about the incident, Klingender would only respond: “No comment” and “Ask Shane.” Klingender is one of two federation councillors (Don Orth is the other) recalled by their constituents last week for failure to fulfill campaign promises. However federation president Shane Roberts told councillor Heather Robertson he is refusing on a technicality to accept the recall petitions signed by 366 Arts students. Klingender also held a seat on the federation executive as chairperson of the Board of Education. -henry

. Federation

president Shane Roberts apparently intends to try out the new “war measures” powers he voted himself and had ratified by council last Sunday night (see story pg. 7). The latest eviction notices appeared in the office yesterday noon, giving staff’24 hours to “get out of town”. Chevron staff has called a rally for 11:30 am today in the chevron office. Everyone’s invited, and the entertainment may be compliments of Roberts.

face value, it would appear that students could take a full math program at approximately half the time. This is excessively low .” At the November 16 meeting of the Faculty of Mathematics Council, Dean Forbes’ report included a comment on Kalbfleisch’s study. The report states that “an appropriate workload per course should be about five hours per week, in addition to lectures .” It continues: “It would therefore be appreciated if instructors would review their course material, and the giving of assignments, to ensure that the students will in fact find it necessary to do that amount of work for each course.” Ideally, then, a first-year student with 25 hours of classes a week should be faced with another 30 hours in homework. A 55-hour weekly workload for first-year students? Said Dean Forbes: “It’s important for students to acquire good working habits. My standard response to students’ questions regarding work has always been that they should devote five hours a week per course outside of classes.” He said that .in third and fourth year, professors tend not to give assignments, expecting students to work on their own. His suggestion at the council meeting was “simply aimed at drawing attention to the study. ’ ’ It is not meant to be an official directive, he said. Gary Dryden, federation fieldworker for math/engineering and former anti-Cal co-ordinator, called the study “bullshit”, saying it did not take into account exams, statistics assignments, or computer projects. “There’s already too much complaining in computer science about too much homework,” he asserted. Most math students interviewed expressed horror at the idea of 30 hours of work besides classes, particularly in first and second years. One student insisted that “too much work ’ counterproductive .” He siggested that one hour of work for every hour of class is more reasonable. Another student pointed out that a 50-hour weekly workload ,would not leave time for any activities. -val

Council votes in investigation Federation Council narrowly passed a motion Sunday night Calling for an investigation by an outside body of the chevronfederation conflict. Sponsored by math councillor J.J.

Petitions recalling two Arts councillors have been rejected by Federation President and Chief Justice Shane Roberts. The recall petitions for Franz Klingender and Don Orth each had 366 signatures of Arts undergraduate students, more than the number of signatures required to recall the two councillors. Asked why he rejected the petitions, Roberts told a chevron reporter to “Go look up the bylaws.” Roberts continued, saying “I think it’s important that people respect the bylaws and obey them, and I am quite upset by it.” Sunday evening following the meeting, Federation council Roberts told a chevron staffer that. the reason for the rejection was that he, as Chief Justice; had not signed the recall petitions ‘prior to signatures being solicited. Mark Wills, an Arts student active in the recall campaign, called Roberts’ rejection of the petitions

Recal!l At press time there were over 1,000 signatures on a petition demanding the recall of Shane Roberts. Arts student Mark Wills reported that there would be over 1,200 by today. A co-ordinator with the recall committee, Wills expressed optimism as the campaign crossed the halfway point on its way to achieve 2,142 signatures. Wills stated that the chevron is “only one of a whole series of issues” raised in the recall campaign. Others include Roberts’ “inactivity on his election platform” and the “ever expanding federation bureaucracy. ’’ Cited as examples of each were Roberts’ promises in his election campaign of an “ombudsperson, standard grade appeal procedures, more student representation on campus bodies.” Wills also claimed that 40 per cent of the federation budget of $280,000 goes to “maintain the bureaucracy.“, Gerry Rowe, also of the recall committee, said a major issue is “Roberts’ arbitrary methods of work.” “Many students who agreed that the chevron needed changes signed the petition on the basis of Roberts’ abuse continued office ,’ ’ Rowe said. number of people who have been exposed to him in public have noticed that he mystifies rather than clarifies issues.” Presently there are over 60 petitions out and more than 70 students have carried petitions. People from every faculty are working on the recall. The recall committee is financed by donations from many people who want a “democratic and responsible federation,” said Wills. Shane Roberts has stated that he “does not recognize the free chevron, ” and therefore will not comment on the recall. bachir

also pointed out that the problem did not have to go beyond council: “They can resolve it any time by simply reinstating the chevron. ” Earlier in the meeting, Smylie had attacked Roberts for not dealing with the chevron-federation fight. He demanded to know why the issue had not been officially entered on the agenda as an item to be dealt with, and noted that “this has been going on since September q.4 77 L4.

Racial attacks HAMILTON - The Chinese Student Association (CSA) of McMaster University has called an emergency meeting for tonight following an attack against 10 Chinese students last Wednesday, November 17. One student was so badly injured that he had to be hospitalized at the Medical Centre here for treatment.- -.-_ This enisode -follows a similiar one which occured last March after a Young Liberal Party meeting. After this meeting many Young Liberals-let loose on the Chinese students around the campus, one of whom had his spectacles smashed. The attack has left many Chinese students doubting the value of McMaster’s security services. This is shown in part by the statement issued Monday by Mat CSA president Jack Wong, who judged security to be “inadequate” in both cases. ’ He stated: “Now we feel unsafe walking along the streets outside the campus. We don’t know how many sick guys are lurking in those dark corners waiting to ‘get the Chinks’ .” L

they were the ones that instigated it.” During the debate on the motion, Roberts expressed his reservations, calling the proposed investigation a “royal commission.” Grad rep Larry Hannant also spoke out against the motion, saying it is “just another halfmeasure. ”

More than 150 UW students are still awaiting a reply from the government concerning their loans for this year according to UW awards officer Dave Reynolds. This number is exceptionally high, said Reynolds, calling it the “worst year in my history”. The situation is similar at other Ontario universities. About 100 students at the University of Guelph are still waiting for loans. Reynolds echoed the opinion of colleges and universities minister Harry Parrott: that the back-up is caused by “poor computer program writing”.

He doesn’t see it as part of the government education cutbacks, citing that the OSAP budget was increased this year by 10 per cent. However, Reynolds felt that Queen’s Park might be heading for an all-loan OSAP system instead of the present loan-grant arrangement. While many students are still waiting to find out if they can pay this year’s schooling bill, the government is also waiting. An interim committee looking into the OSAP jumble hasn’t made its report yet, though it was scheduled to do so last August. -jamie thiers

He acknowledged that some people had suggested reliance on their own efforts by organizing their own self-defence but feared that this would be used as an excuse to deport Chinese students. The incident last Wednesday OCcurred when three Chinese students at McMaster were on their way home from the library at 11:30 *e-+-n y111.

Just before leaving the university grounds they passed Wentworth House where three “very large” racist students began verbally insulting them. Two of the students decided to keep walking while the third with a bicycle returned to the library for help. Derogatory names were repeatedly hurled at them while they said they didn’t want trouble, but soon fists started flying. A Chinese student who had nothing to do with the previous incident was waiting at a bus stop nearby and was beaten unconscious, apparently by these same racist students. continued

The differential

5 A.

fee

/nternationad!!fism crumbles The differential fee for foreign students ran into severe criticism at a panel discussion November 18. A major speaker, describing internationalism as the “homogeneity of mankind”, denounced the differential fee as “a serious regression on the concept of the global community.” Chris Stuckholm, president of Laurentian’s International Students Office, was one of the speakers addressing an audience of about 25 students as part of International Students’ Week. Other speakers were Alan Rix, executive director of the Canadian Bureau for International Education, Bruce Gellatly , UW’s vicepresident for finance and operations, John Sweeney, Liberal MPP and colleges and universities critic, and Bien Garcia, president of WLU’s International Students’ Association. Stuckholm described the Ontario Federation of Students as “unconcerned” about the differential fee, and pointed out that “jobconscious, prestige-conscious” administrators, bureaucrats and politicians would not rise to oppose the fee. He explained how the proposed fee hike for foreign students was

defeated by Laurentian’s senate, and said that their board of governors is expected to do likewise. Stuckholm expressed surprise that the students at UW had not mobilized to oppose and defeat the differential fee. Alan Rix told the audience that what the Ontario government really wants is to cut back on the Hong Kong and American enrolment. He pointed out that Manitoba and Saskatchewan have adopted limited enrolment of foreign students rather than impose the differential fee. And he suggested that a quota is not so “repugnant” as the differential fee. Liberal MPP Sweeney declared that Harry Parrott, Ontario minister colleges and universities, has presented himself as “someone who can’t be trusted,” since he “so blatantly” broke his campaign promise not to increase tuition for the next year. Sweeney will oppose the differential fee “until a wellwell-researched documented, study is presented to justify it,” he said, adding “I honestly don’t think it can be done.” The Liberal party recommends that for the next two or three years,

Ontario should not charge a differential fee for Third World students. “It makes more sense to work our reciprocity system with Western jurisdictions,” he said. In response to a question regarding a possible federal decision on the differential fee, Sweeney replied that the federal government “should not interfere too much in provincial education affairs. ’ ’ UW’s Bruce Gellatly defended the board of governor’s October decision to impose a differential fee. He said that UW’s budget for 1976-77 has a deficit of $400,000. “We can’t afford that,” he said. “We must pass on the formula funding mechanism to the foreign students.” Bien Garcia said that the ISA at WLU is trying to get the Senate to reject the differential fee in principle and “not go ahead with it.” He pointed out that the UN Declaration of Human Rights specifies that higher education be accessible to all and not discriminate between sex, colour, religion or ability to pay. The differential fee clearly discriminates between wealthy and non-wealthy foreign students, he said. -

Third world countries call for commonfund A conference on Third World countries held here last Friday stressed the need for the implementation of the new international economic order (NIEO), which would change the present world economic orientation in favor of developing countries. One of the speakers pointed out, however, that the establishment of NIEO would not in itself bring about dignity and economic independence to Third World countries. The rich will get richer and the poor, poorer, he said, adding that it all depends on how the capital is used. Organized by the International Students Association as part of IS Week, the conference centered on problems facing developing countries, and on ways in which the west can play a more positive and constructive role in the development of Third World countries. Addressing an audience of about 45 studentswere Jim Walker of the history . department, Donald M’Timkulu of Renision College, Jeffery Johnston, a church historian, and Dennis Benn, a UN consultant. Karl Bennett of the economics department chaired the discussion. Benn, the main speaker, began his talk with a brief explanation of the international economic crisis and the need for a new economic order. The Group of 77 (developing countries) demands an integrated program of commodities and equitable terms of trade, he said. In May a conference in Nairobi, the fourth United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD IV), discussed ways of promoting the technology of developing countries, and called for a “common fund” by the We3 from which they can draw capital to develop their economies. The West, however, particularly the US, is reluctant to contribute toward a common fund. of Said Benn: “The prosperity the international community at

whole is at stake.” Johnston spoke about multinational corporations and their “built-in advantages.” Developing countries, he said,- should create levers to use against the concentration of power used by multinationals. Cartels and nationalization under domestic -not international - law are effective levers to be used toward the reorganization of the way commodity trade is set up, Johnston said. But he warned that the NIEO would have to be used justly: “reinvestment in the kind of that’s grassroot .development best for the people,” is how the developing countries should proceed. Walker, who subscribes to historian Arnold Toynbee’s theory of challenge and response, isolated six challenges (facing the Third World, including economic development , political forums, “restoration of dignity” and “neocolonialism.” He said that “ experimentation” is the developing countries’ response to the challenges, and that in this respect the West should be “understanding, supportive and respectful.” However, the West should take an active role in the elimination of neo-colonialism, Walker said. The NIEO should be the West’s response to Third World challenges. M’Timkulu, who gave a backgound to the Zimbabwe (Rhodesia) situation, said that the “obvious solution” to the problem of competetiveness at,the Geneva talks is for the four Zimbabwean groups Z-APU, AZNU, ZPA, ANC - to get together, “if only for the purposeof constitutional talks.” He called the alliance of ZAPU and the Zimbabwe People’s Army “a powerful group” and a “patriotic front linking up the rural masses with the fighting young.” Said M’Timkulu: “The future of Rhodesia cannot be brought about without the compliance, the cooperation, of freedom fighters. ” -val

The Table Hockey Tournament was organized by joe’s japanese Baseball Team (j/BT), essentially a group of math students engaged in various recreational activities, and sponsored by Mathsoc. The hockey games were preceded by the National Anthem just as is done at Maple Leaf Gardens. About 700 contestants participated in individual competition, doubles and mixed doubles in the course of several days during Pandemonium Week. The Pandemonium Week, Nov, 74-20, was sponsored by four societies; Arts, Environmental Studies, Math and Science, and the federation Board of Entertainment. photo by don Simpson

Planning may go Co-op The school of Urban and regional Planning at UW may get a co-op programme yet. Two petitions signed by second and fourth year planning students, have requested that the School of Urban and Regional Planning Faculty-Student Council (SURP) reopen discussions on the possibility of having a co-op planning programme. Liz Lea, one of two undergraduate student representatives on SURP, is expected to take the petitions collected by Liz Poole, a second year planning student, and Rosemary Foulds, secretary for the Planning Association, to the SURP meeting today. Poole initiated the petitions after she approached the Planning Association (the undergraduate/ graduate student association) in October, asking why planning was

not a co-op programme. The Planning Association also sponsored an information meeting on co-op programmes on Thursday of last week in a first year planning class. Planning students of other years were also invited. Foulds, representing the Planning Association, and George Mulamootil, acting associate director for the school, and Hugh Lemon, professional liaison officer, explained the assets and liabilities of co-op programmes. The response from students present was seemed favourable although they seemed a little concerned over the small number of planning jobs available during the year. According to Foulds, the idea of planning becoming a coop programme was first brought up at a

SURP meeting in 1974. Some investigation into the logistics of such a programme was done by a separate standing committee and a report on the findings of the committee was submitted to a SURP meeting that year. Foulds didn’t know the exact wording of the motions passed at that meeting, but the issue of co-op planning was never raised again until now. Presently, the school sponsors a summer internship programme, which is funded partially by the Involvement in Municipal Administration (IMA) programme in Ontario. Lemon assists planning students in second and third years find summer jobs by contacting prospective employers and arranging for interviews. -

When the land ‘dfeS,-\the pet works for years, but until recently little attention has been given to it. The Ontario government seems to believe that since the project affects Native people, and such a remote area, information about the project can be swept under the rug. In March 1974, Premier William Davis announced to t.he legislature that Reed Paper had plans to build a new mill in the Red Lake-Ear Falls area. He made no ment,ion howe-ver, of the size of the proposed facility. One year later, Minister of Natural Resources L&o Bernier reported to Treaty No. 9 the size of the limits which would be extended to Reed. Treaty No. 9 began to conduct research into the proposed project at that time. When Treaty No. 9 asked Reed for a copy of the environmental impact study conducted on the area by Acres Environmental Consultants, they were refused. In February 1976, almost one year after Chief Andrew Rickard had asked for Native people’s involvement in any decision-making concerning the use of their land, he had heard nothing. Sources revealed to Rickard however, that the project was to go ahead regardless of the environmental, social and economic considerations. That same month, some 500 people participated in a Toronto demonstration against Reed Paper Company’s pollution of the English-Wabigoon River system with mercury from its Dryden plant. This pollution has resulted in the poisoning of large numbers of Native People and in the destruction of the economic life-line of the Native People, hunting and fishing in the area. The site of the demonstration was a Reed Paper sponsored art exhibition entitled, ironically, “Changing Visions, The Canadian Landscape’ ’ . Throughout the development of this scheme, secrecy has been the watchword and only occasionally do facts surface, such as the $500,000 performance bond Reed Paper had posted with the Ontario government. In a recent radio programme, Leo Bernier was questioned by a woman from northwestern Ontario. She asked if the scheme was going to go through. Bernier assured her that it was still in the investigative stages. She then asked why Ear Falls had received so much attention of late in the building of subdivisions and the installation of public works .,, Bernier immediately donned his armour, mounted his high horse, and proclaimed that the people of Ear Falls are entitled to some of the amenities enjoyed by l

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is exactly what has happened to the original people of this land. “But today it stops. We will not tolerate this suppression and destruction any longer.

the people in southern Ontario. The conversation was rather abruptly terminated. The area demanded by Reed, some 26,000 square miles, is anarea just smaller than New Brunswick. The area the Ontario government intends to sell out to Reed is about the size of Nova Scotia at 19,000 square miles. The forested area involved stretches 300 miles east of the Manitoba border and 100 miles north of the 50th parallel. This is the northern limit of the boreal forest in Ontario and is also the last remaining stand of timber not already licenced to a pulp and

The long fibres of this white-wooded tree add strength, and also make it a favoured pulpwood for the manufacture of facial tissues. But black spruce is a very slowgrowing tree, and in Northern Ontario is found on very thin soil. It has the advantage over many species because it can reproduce not only by seed, but also by layering. This means th;rt the lower live branches of the tree will develop roots when covered with leaves and litter. These branches will eventually become trees. Often this is the only method of reproduction used by the black spruce. Little success has been achieved at artificially cultivating black spruce. Reed Paper’s history of negligence in forest regeneration, was exposed by John Cary, unit forester with the ministry of natural resources in Dryden, in a paper presented in August of this year. “ The current and anticipated failure to meet the projected wood demands is focussed on shortfall in the regeneration objectives set for the Reed Paper Management Unit in the Ontario Forest Production Policy. “The failed and unsatisfactorily regenerated portions of the cutover that do not meet the production standards are rapidly increasing. The causes of this alarming situation are a serious lack of manpower and,uncontrolled cutting. “The ensuing effect is a physical inability to mechanically site prepare a major proportion of the

With the implementation of the Reed scheme, an extensive network of all-weather roads would be a prerequisite. These roads will bring prospectors, mining promoters and entrepreneurs; people the Native Indians in the area have no wish to see. Bernier promised the Chiefs of Treaty No. 9, in March 1974, that no roads would be built to their communities. Resources such as timber in this tract of land are exhaustible under the methods which would be employed by Reed. What happens to the jobs, the project, the land, the people, when Reed Paper Company is through ? The following news item shows how Reed has acted in other Canadian regions when it has exhausted forest resources. “Reed Paper Ltd. announced plans to sell all the assets of Riverdale Lumber Ltd., a subsidiary, which distributes lumber and building materials in the Vancouver area. About 80 Riverdale workers are affected. Reed said the operatiqn has been uneconomical for some time. ’ ’ (K-W Record, Nov. 8, 1976) The Native People are proposing a special enquiry into the desirability of such a project. Rickard explains that “it would all environmental, consider economic; social, cultural and legal interest of the Cree-Ojibway of Treaty No. 9 and our neighbours. “This is our position. I repeat, it is our last appeal. Nothing else is negotiable. ” Broken promises are an historical legacy from the governments of Canada to the Native People, but the Reed Paper Company scheme

has backed the Native People against the wall. Chief Andrew Rickard of the Grand Council of Treaty No. 9 best expresses that position. “The final straw prompting this is, of course, the Reed proposal. We consider this an invasion of our lands. “In our eyes, we sadly remember the history when the Germans invaded Poland in 1939. Are there parallels? We wonder about this very much. “We do not want to compare Reed or the Ontario government to the Germans of the early 40’s. But what word came to my mind when I looked to the west of our land and saw my brother’s children writhing in pain? Their tiny bodies weak and dying from mercury poisoning: courtesy of Reed Paper Canada Ltd. “Think about that. How would you feel if these were your children? We too love our children just like you. And we have the same determination as you to protect rnem. “It is with regret that in this socalled province of opportunity we must contemplate employing every means possible to defend our land and our lives against what we believe to be an apprehended invasion.”

reserve and Grand Council No. 3. It is known as AMOG, an acronym for Anti-Mercury Ojibway Group. Amog is also the Ojibway word for a hive of stinging bees. The mercury support groups organized by OPIRG will be a part of a Coalition Against Mercury Pollution (CAMP) along with other native support groups. CAMP will be working in conjunction with AMOG. The groups will be demanding that the government force Reed Paper Co. to pay compensation to the natives affected by mercury poisoning. They are also seeking government economic assistance for the reconstruction of the reserves whose resource base -fishing - has been destroyed. An old demand that the waterways be closed to all fishing has only elicited feeble responses from the government and will continue to be made. As insurance that such disasters will not occur again, the coalitions will be asking for much stronger environmental legislation and enforcement. OPIRG has planned a number of forums this week and next week in Hamilton, WaterPeterborough,

loo, London and Guelph. -The forums are intended to educate people about the mercury situation, to raise money for the mercury defense fund, and to start off the mercury support groups. The support groups will be co-ordinated by the OPIRG’s of the universities in each of the cities and provincially co-ordinated by OPIRG. The defense fund was set up to aid victims of mercury poisoning. In addition to donations collected at the forums, OPIRG hopes to throw a benefit concert. The proceeds from the concert would go into the fund. At the Waterloo forum next Tuesday (AL 105,7pm) a speaker and a film will be presented. The film, “Minamata’s Message to the World”, was done by Radio Quebec and people from Japan. It outlines the history of the struggles of the Minamata people against the polluting corporation and the government . Greg Michalenko, who has been researching Reed Paper Co., will speak on their plans for further rape of northwestern Ontario. Through education such as the forums and the paper Quicksilver and Slow Death, OPIRG hopes to increase public concern over the problems caused by mercury pollution. With this concern to back them, the action groups OPIRG is setting up will have a greater chance of havingthe demands met. It will only be as a result of public pressure that the government will act in the interests of the native people. -stu

A Wertmueller perspective Give yourself a good swift kick if you missed the Lina Wertmiiller festival at the Waterloo Theatre this week. “Swept Away” is an outrageous anti-romance. Giancarlo Giannini is a sailor from the south of Italy (Senor Carrunchio) with strong political convictions. He is shipwrecked on a desert island with a wealthy’ woman whom he despises, yet falls in love with. He subjects her to the same sorts of humilities he suffered on the ship (to his mind). The movie explores how standards can change according to the situation people find themselves in. Wertmiiller’s favourite heroes are “all vain, arrogant and stupid, real chauvinists who believe in the Post

mortem:

Hollies harmonize The Hollies like many other groups founded in the sixties relied on good strong harmonies. On November 12 in Hamilton’s superb Hamilton Place they proved that they could still harmonize as well as ever. In the last few years fans have had to put up with strained and off-key harmonies from many of the established groups. Not so with the Hollies, a group of six musicians who have been around since 1963. Upon entering the hall many people probably felt that they of would be seeing a sort rock’n’roll revival show with several musicians in matched suits singing and looking like they were fast approaching middle age. The opposite was true, the group looked if anything younger than most of the established groups. They were casual and immediately established a strong rapport with the audience.

superiority of the penis.” ((TIME, Feb. 16, 1976) Her movies are presented, however, in such a way as might allow a real chauvinist to miss the point. Apparently “Playboy” regularly pans her movies, so I don’t suppose they missed the point. If you can see the Italian version with English subtitles, do so. The dubbed version somehow lacks a lot of the spontaneity of the original, even though it is a good job of dubbing. (***l/2) “Seven Beauties” is the best of the Wertmuller films I’ve seen (The others being “Love and Anarchy” and “The Seduction of Mimi”). It opens with old clips of World’ War Two to a soundtrack.

in Hamilton gave us 85 minutes of the finest old material and some really good new material. It is interesting to note that Hamilton Place is unique in several respects. Firstly all the seats are good, even with two sets of speaker columns there were no obstructed seats. Secondly the seats are comfortable and have speakers under every second one. Thirdly you get a program and are treated like a patron instead of like cattle (a la Maple Leaf Gardens), there are three bars and a comfortable, even classy lounge to dance in. With top name acts like the Hollies and Gordon Lightfoot (December 11th) you may want to write to the box office (Main Street West, Hamilton L8P lH3) for their list of future acts. It is also a good idea to get your tickets for Toronto concerts in Hamilton. Two agencies in particular (Connaught and Maple Leaf) are always able to get you better seats than you could get in Toronto. Another added benefit being that you can reserve seats over the phone and have them mailed to you. Bee Gees in Toronto Nov. 29th. Robin Trower in Toronto Nov. 30th. --pad

movie: Two Italian deserters are running from a burning train in the dead of night. One is Giannini who shows the other the fake bandages wrapped around his head. Two stories take place at the same time: Giannini and his friend are captured by Germans and put in a concentration camp. Dovetailed in between are an ingenious series of flashbacks to the time when our hero was called “Seven Beauties”, the man with a girl on every street block. The movie is a grim mixture of comedy, pathos and irony. It amounts to an extraordinary comment on survival in the twentieth century. The conclusion our hero makes, though, at the end of it all, when he finally comes through, still

alive, is a marvelous twist of logic. Perhaps the sentiment of the film could be summed up by a line used early in it: “To pee is to live; the more you pee, the more you live.” It almost goes without saying that “Seven Beauties” is brilliantly performed, and superbly filmed and edited - it has to be in order to come off at all.

Every Christmas it’s the same thing. K-tel brings out a new version of the veg-o-matic, Santa Cla.use shows up at Simpsons and for five bucks you can get your picture taken with him, and the record companies put out albums by everybody and his brother in an attempt to get you to part with your hard-earned cash by buying all your pals an album or two. And this year ain’t no different.

It seems to be the year of the live album and Christmas has brought out a whole mess more of them. There are a lot of problems for a group when they decide to put out a live album. The big groups have the problem of having to play their ‘hits’ or classic songs, and if they don’t do them exactly as they were originally recorded, then they get panned for messing with success.

Dan Hill last Monday night treated audiences in the Humanities Theatre to his music and himself. His songs, simple and emotional, were interspersed with witty and informal asides about his experiences while on tour. The man is completely unpretientious - not afraid of being called naive for his musical protest against our insensitivity and cynicism, and the superficial relations that result from it. This is shown in his well-known song “YOU Say You’re Free” by the lines “your strength just shatters me”, “my love collides with your resistance” and “two cynics passing through”. His songs have a strong authenticity that allows one to identify with him. Most of them come f+~r..*

his own life experiences, and when he explains the circumstances behind them their effect is even stronger. His work is based upon the realization that music is an expression of emotion. He criticized, in speech and in a song, critics who treat music intellectually and miss the message. He is determined not to become “a juke box” and sacrifice his expression to gain record sales. This is not an easy thing for most artists to do, but it is easy to have faith in this man’s humility. Not that popularity is a problem for him, judging by the full house and the long queue that formed for the second performance. -jonathan

Take the new Bob Dylan album, Rain, for example. It is supposed to be the soundtrack from his TV special, but the songs aren’t exactly the same and you can’t even watch his funny face. As for tampering with the classics, all you have to hear is +‘A Hard Rain is Going to Fall” and you’ll understand. Somebody should tell Mr. Dylan to leave his legend alone and retire before he niesses anything else up. Lynyrd Skynyrd’s double live album is called One More From the Road, and taken as a whole it’s quite good. The only low point on the album is their classic song “Freebird” and it’s obvious from the presentation that they’re only doing it because they have to. The overall sound quality is fairly good also, so this one does have its possibilities. With the demise of the Allman brothers in the summer, Lynyrd Skynyrd seems to be the heirapparent to the southern rock crown and this album may introduce them to a much wider audience than they have now. Toronto’s Rush also have a double-live album called All the World’s a Stage and it’s a pretty fair sampling of the best of their work. Unfortunately, the sound isn’t too great and for some reason a lot of the songs don’t seem to be in time; it almost seems like it was all taken apart and mixed back together at slightly different speeds. Also, a lot of the studio techniques have obviously remained in the studio, and the music suffers for it. Allin all, your average live album. Probably the best live album released recently is the Led Zeppelin movie soundtrack, The Song Re-

Hard

mains the Same.

It too is a double and allows the members of the band to stretch out a bit. “Dazed and Confused”, from the first album, takes up an entire side and manages to be fairly interesting throughout. Once again, however, there is the necessity of doing a classic and so we have “Stairway to Heaven”. Obviously, after having done it 5,000 times before they have gotten a little bored with it, and consequently this doesn’t have much of. the beauty or the power of the original. But that’s how it goes, and as far as I’m concerned if you don’t already have the original, then there’s something the matter with you. This album is well-recorded and as a whole seems to justify its existence. This is only the beginning. God knows how many more live albums/greatest hits/best of collections are going to be put out between n-ow and Christmas, but let us suffice to say if you’re into music as a Christmas present, there’s a lot to choose from. You may not even need to buy anything from K-tel this year. jason

Waterloo’s men’s volleyball team battled its way through its first league’competition last week in a six-game, tri-team tournament. Waterloo won all of its six games against Brock and McMaster. Saturday’s victories were notable, said coach Wes Sime, because McMaster was the team which put Waterloo out of its own invitational tournament two weeks ago. Sime said the addition of Seymour Hadwen made a big difference. Hadwen, a 6’6” guard, with the basketball Warriors, dashed between Waterloo, where the Warriors were involved in the Wilfred Laurier Basketball tour-

Cummings is no stranger to the Canadian rock scene, he was the leader and driving force of the now defunct Guess Who. The guess Who were the only Canadian rock group to gain continuing international success. With a long list of hit singles written or co-written by Cummings, the Guess Who had a strong following in Southern Ontario as well as other parts of North America. In the past three years however the Guess Who has been more of a vehicle for the multi-talented

If you are afraid to eat the plants you hunt then there are ways of learning to recognize them. First, you might try looking around the greenhouse in the Biology Building, which is usually open to anyone with the interest. Secondly, to be almost certain that your plant is what you think it is, you could use the herbarium (this is just a library-morgue of dried plants) which is on the second floor of Biology 2. If you really develop an interest in plants you might even take an annual fall course offered in plant identification entitled, Biology 334, though be warned this course is much too academic for those with only a mild interest, as it gives a multitude of names without the multitude of practical applications. Whatever way you choose in the plant world you’ll find they provide a very valuable refuge from the dust of man’s world and a means by which to view it. --shih

He is presently touring Southern Ontario to promote his first solo album. Titled “Burton Cummings” the album contains his current his single “Stand Tall” as well as a spoof on BT0 (“You Ain’t Seen Nothin’ Yet”). The album is really good and is worth getting.

Its a perfect crime that every autumn the fruit of this tree rots on the boughs. If anyone took the initiative these crab apples could make the tastiest of jellies. ’ It has been asked whether or not the Horse Chestnut which grows on this campus is edible? The answer is no!! When this writer tried eating only one Horse Chestnut he experienced a sickened feeling in the stomach, with an unpleasant dizziness, followed by vomiting and a profuse nose bleed. ,At one time the best tasting, and what many botanists think of as the only true chestnut, the American Chestnut, densely populated this area but over 30 years ago they were eliminated by a fungus blight which was brought by the introduction of the Chinese Chestnut to North America.

Still around? Am I to believe that arts representatives Don Orth and Franz Klingender are still sitting on council? Granted, the petition to recall them was invalid, but from where’do they get the audacity to remain in their positions when 366 students have demanded that they get out? The fact that the petition was invalid because it wasn’t first of all signed by the federation president is hardly the point. A large number of arts students have made it clear they want more responsible representatives. So why don’t Klingender and Orth resign? If they have even the slightest concern for the interests of the students, then they won’t ask for a second declaration of their discontent. Mr. Klingender is a disgrace notlonly to arts students, but to the students of the University of Waterloo as well. His dismissal should be immediately followed by his being run off campus permanently. If Klingender and Orth refuse to step down, then I hope the federation president will have the ethics to demand their resignations. If he is negligent in this duty, then he will have once again demonstrated hisindifference towards the demands of the students of the University of Waterloo, as well as given the students yet another reason to sign the petition for the president’s own recall.

Foolishness. on campus They say that the university environment is not like the real world. Yet I detect the same kind of foolishness occurring on campus that makes melook with loathing at the state of the world. I am referring to the ridiculous situation of the student newspaper. I must admit that I don’t understand all the elements behind this childish polarization of the Free Chevron and the Real chevron, but it seems to me that if you have enough interested students to publish two papers, this energy combined could produce one excellent paper. What’s the obstacle? It appears that President Roberts made an initial mistake in closing down the chevron, and now he stands by his action. But everyone forgives a man who has the courage to admit his mistake. I say let’s stop looking under our beds for Communists and REINSTATE THE CHEVRON!. .. In order to work towards making things better on this level, it surely is a sad comment on the possibilities of the future on a grander scale. Marilyn Pignotta

UW Racism I would like to bring to your attention the recent outburst of racism directed at the people of Polish origin, which appeared in the 76-10 issue of Enginews, a paper published by the undergraduate engineering stu-

dents here on campus. I am taking the liberty of enclosing the relevant material which I deem particularly offensive to Canadians of Polish origin, as well as my reaction to such trash. I am deeply disturbed by such blatant acts of racism in our university community as there has been a long history of derogatory material published by the Enginews regarding Canadians as well as immigrants of non-English background. I am afraid that this trend is going to continue unless responsible people of our university take the necessary steps to reverse the process. It is a pity that a small group of individuals with racist inclinations has been allowed access to a student newspaper which is indirectly subsidized by the taxpayer’s money.

Dear

Enginewq

It is quite deplorable that your “publication” is once again cultivating a racist policy with respect to Canadians of non-English background. Apparently, the incidents related to anti-Chinese and anti-Packistani slurs which resulted in the resignation of last year’s editorial staff of the Enginews have not made any impact on the current official policy of your “publication”. As a Polish-Canadian I find your latest anti-Polish slurs particularly vicious and offensive. Their viciousness is vividly characterized by complete lack of humour; such “jokes” are clearly meant to degrade and not amuse. It is difficult for me to understand how university students can tolerate and propagate the type of publication which belongs in the gutter and not our academic community. The present slanders directed at PolishCanadians disturb me a great deal as it is not a singular case of racism which I have personally encountered both as an undergraduate and graduate student at this institution. Over a year ago, for instance, I have been informed by a professor in the Civil Engineering Department that in his opinion all the engineers who were not born in Canada ought to be “kicked out of the Association of Professional Engineers” of this province. It is quite alarming that such attitudes can be found among a significant number of people on this campus in view of the tremendous contribution of the new Canadians, including Canadians of Polish origin, towards the development and world recognition of this university. Your latest comments regarding non-English Canadians only contribute to cultivation of a general state of unrest in the Canadian society. Nowhere are the consequences of such short-sighted racism more apparent now than in Quebec. Marek-Jerzy Pindera Mechanical Engineering

Mr. Roberts, This letter is to officially protest the council meeting of November 21, 1976, and to inform you that we regard all motions passed at that meeting to be null and void, because of the presence and voting participation of two recalled Arts councillors, Franz Klingender and Don Orth. Petitions for the recall of Klingender and Orth, signed by 366 Arts students (sufficient to force the recall of the two reps) were presented to yourself, the President and Chief Justice, on November 17, 1976. According to’ Federation Bylaw 23, the Arts seats should have been declared vacant and an election called within three days. You, as President and Chief Justice, did not take that action, apparently because of a minor technicality - the signature of the Chief Justice was not affixed to the petition prior to it being circulated. However, that decision was not delivered to council at its November 2 1 meeting. It was impossible to protest the presence and participation of the two recalled reps because the report of the Chief Justice, giving a decision on the recall, was placed low on the agenda.

Carmichael A brief article in the November 5th free chevron about the Stokely Carmichael meeting prompted me to write further on that meeting and offer this as a reply to an article which I thought belittled the most memorable talk I’ve attended yet. A lot of people at the meeting came down on Carmichael’s cause, Pan-Africanism, as not being the solution to black problems in Canada or anywhere else. Such scepticism probably comes out of a misunderstanding of the black experience. In a speech/essay entitled “Power and Racism” (see Stokely Speaks, ed. Ethel N. Minor) Stokely communicates the importance of Pan-Africanism as it relates to blacks throughout the world: “This is one reason Africa has such importance: the reality of black men ruling their own nations gives blacks elsewhere a sense of possibility, of power, which they do not now have.” Stokely told the campus centre audience that all peoples must work out their destiny for themselves: it is their privilege and responsibility to go over their past and determine what they should be working toward. For the blacks, then the immediate goal is to regain Africa and redeem a couple of centuries of experience in the white man’s world. As for North America, Stokely would argue that the black peoples have no stake here since they were brought over in chains; while the white peoples should be busy working it out with the Indians. To tell the blacks what they should do, i.e. ‘C . . .unite with the working class in the revolutionary struggle,” is to act in a racist manner, and the same goes for our telling the Indians what to do. Blacks have a pretty painful past to work out and we shouldn’t continue to stand in the way, but rather give them our full support. After seeing Stokely cut through all the insincere attacks on his beliefs, I just wonder who should be telling who what to do now. When you shake Stokely Carmichael’s hand and he ‘asks you: “Are you for the people?“, then you know that this man has his priorities straight. As this relates to the students, I think too he forced us to wonder about our priorities, to wonder about our reasons for being here.at university. How many people can honestly say that they’re here to help other people?Many will retreat into the response “I’m just here for an education .” But there is more to it than this: they want an education so that they personally can have a brighter future. Now I’m not telling people that they shouldn’t be here, I’m just saying that everyone ought to work out their destinies for themselves. A lot of students haven’t bothered to do this, and as a result, a lot of students don’t know where they’re at. Not knowing this, they

paragraph three I would read, “Of all the reasons why Bethune is an international hero, the most important is his spirit. IT IS THE TRUE CANADIAN SPIRIT. It is the spirit of proletarian internationalism. ” The reason this sentence is so important is clear. The Canadian people are democratic people, they are anti-fascists and anti-racists. That Canadian people will and have given their lives in defence of these principles stands as testimony to these facts-. It is the isolated few who provoke attacks, have become atomized individuals who but it is this few that the bourge,ois media can’t see beyond their self-interests. promote with rabid vigour.

Fight for freedom A fight for freedom of speech, participation in the university administration, academic asylum, and cuts in military spending for increases in the education budget brought tanks onto the Athens Polytechnic and resulted in the massacre of 200 students. But the student resistance Nov 17 1973 lead to the overthrow of the Junta. Thus it is a date well remembered and was commemorated on campus with a memorial meeting organised by the Greek Students Association. A spokesperson for the Western University Greek Student Association opened the meeting by praising the Polytechnic students and blaming the US and the Soviet Union for “expansionistic war plans” which threatened the world’s people. Professor Doug Wahlsten of the Anti-Imperialist Alliance also spoke. He pointed to the parallel of the situation on campus and the polytechnic. He said, although to a lesser degree, many of the same events have occurred. Progressive faculty have been fired, and the chevron has been closed down without investigation. The students at UW are in a fight for democratic rights, he said. A slide presentation showed the brutal force which the demonstrators met when the Junta’s tanks smashed through the university’s gates. Then the day was put in its historical perspective-a massacre

which initiated the decline of the fascist military junta. The Greek students have along history of fighting for democratic rights, beginning in 1955. The struggle for their demands intensified in 1967 when the US imperialists set-up the junta. Then the period between 1967-73 saw the military control of the university and the expulsion and arrest of rebellious students. An underground movement was organised and lead the boycott of classes and a large demonstration Nov 14 1973. I’hree days later the military attacked the 50,000 demonstrators with tear gas, guns and tanks. The death of the 200 students led to the overthrow of the Junta, but there are many academic and political demands that still remain to be seen, the speaker concluded. “The students demands from-the 1973 uprising have yet to be fulfilled,” stated Yiaronis Mitsiopoulos, the representative for the GSA. He said the students and the workers’ aims are the same-the “eventual overthrow of US imperialism in Greece and CypI-US.”

Mitsiopoulis said the role of the Greek students on campus is : to take actions on anti-people events in Greece; educate the people in Canada about events in Greece; Support struggles here and national liberation struggles in other countries. -salah

The uncola

Monday, a new paper called the Real Chevron” appeared on campus with the following statement of intent: “(to) avoid taking sides on any issue, but report any happening factually and objectively”. On page 3, an article entitled “Student Intercepts Chocolate”

. @

tells about a confrontation between a student and psychology professor Doug Wahlsten which resulted from the student being associated with an underground newspaper in which Wahlsten had been mentioned in an “unfavorable light”. Everybody knows that this underground newspaper was a pornographic rag called “The Fucking Thing’ ’ and the ‘ ‘unfavorable, light”’ in which Wahlsten was mentioned, was, in fact, malicious slander. The editor’ of the Real Chevron must have known this too,

chevron Bring donations to: office, room 140 Campus Centre

but chose not to clarify the article by providing this information. The reason why is obvious. It is well known that Wahlsten is no friend of the federation, and so the editor of the Real Chevron is not going to print anything that might favor Wahlsten (even if it is the truth). So much for factuality and objectivity. On page eight, there is a picture of the federation president, wrestling with Neil Docherty and Larry Hannant over a typewriter. The photo was well-chosen by the Real Chevron editor because the typewriter is barely visible and it appears that Docherty and Hannant are attacking the president rather than trying to take back the typewriter. The caption below the photograph reports: “Roberts sustained injuries requiring two stitches to one hand and minor abrasions to both arms.” However, it does not say that Roberts hand was cut on the typewriter. Since the typewriter is not visible in the picture, the reader is deceived into thinking that Roberts’ injuries were caused by Docherty and Hannant. Further, there was no mention that the Free Chevron staff were advised by their lawyer that they have every right to hold on to the equipment and should not allow it to be taken. What was that statement of intent about not taking sides, and “factuality’ ’ , and “objectivity?’ ’ In conclusion, I would like to say that if this latest mouthpiece of the Federation is their idea of the real thing, then I’ll take an uncola, thank you.

DeVillaer

P.S. - Going through the Real Chevron, I noticed that there were only three outside advertisements. This means that the Feds’ news sheet has once again cost the students a large sum of money.

Meanwhile, because of the darkness, an individual Canadian was mistakenly beaten to the ground by these same students who thought he was Chinese. On discovering their mistake they apologized to their victim, saying “We just want to get the Chinks. Sorry!” Only after another incident like the one previously described did McMaster security police arrive. After the assaulters were pointed out to them, and even after the casualty was reported, they still reportedly refused to get out of the cruiser to investigate. After the assailants freely left the scene there was yet another attack reported. This time three racists attacked two Chinese students leaving the library in the Medical Centre. The CSA of McMaster reports that the McMaster security has yet to take any action. In the UW racial assault case reported in the chevron last week, a Chinese student has reported that many students know the address of the accused and: “If security doesn’t do anything we will be forced to settle this thing ourselves .” Chairperson Clement Lamb of the McMaster CSA special committee on the Hamilton attacks said that all concerned students will be welcome at their meetings. An internal CSA meeting is being held tonight at 8:00 pm, Rm 320 Hamilton Hall while another is called for on Monday evening at 7:30 pm at the same place. Security services, the administration and other groups have been called to answer for themselves. --shih

Math by-election On Monday, November 29 there is a byelection for the math seat on students’council. There are two candidates running for election: Peter Blunden and Kevin Wi//is. Voting takes place outside the third floor math lounge from 7O:OO am to 4:00 pm.

Peter .Blunden I am. running for the math seat on council because I feel I have enough insight into the workings of council to make a responsible and responsive representative, and I am extremely dissatisfied with the current council. We math students pay $26.50 in federation fees every year, yet we get little in return. What we do get is mismanagement of funds, untold amounts of money sunk into bureaucracy, corruption, political patronage, lack of action, broken election promises, etc. Below I’ll outline some of the issues‘of concern to students at the present time. Cutbacks

Little if any research has been done in the area of cutbacks. In particular the federation has been very lax in dealing with the foreign student fee hikes. No serious discussion has taken place on this very important issue. I feel students are unclear on the issue of cutbacks because they have not had enough information given to them. I propose that before any action is taken, more investigation and research should be done by the federation so that students can be educated and organized to act in a positive way. NSD farce

~Because they had done so little investigation into students’ problems on their own, the federation had to rely heavily on the cooperation of the administration to speak at “student” forums on NSD (National Student Day). The day was a complete failure and a scandalous waste of money, with few students in attendance. The federation accounts for this and other fiascos by blaming it all on student apapthy . This is totally wrong! Rather than blame the students, they should look at the real reasons for so little student participation: namely that the leadership is so poor and has done no leaders have investigation; that “student” been non-students for so long that they’ve lost touch with student problems and interests. Move

to censure

students

No wonder then, that federation president Shane Roberts has recently declared that council should not hear student delegations but that students should only speak through their councillors. I was not allowed to attend a~ executive meeting earlier this year simply because Roberts and vice-president Dave McLellan objected to my presence. How can the federation operate openly and above board if students are not allowed to attend meetings? Chevron

affair

The chevron affair is now two months old and still no resolution has been reached. The federation’s handling of the situation has been both disgusting and embarrassing. In fact it may even be illegal. Their methods have evoked cries of protest from campuses across Canada. Why does Roberts consistently oppose an inves-‘ tigation of the entire affair? I think Roberts’ own politics have clouded his thinking and obstructed the implementation of a just solution. I believe an impartial investigation of the chevron and the federation is in order, with reinstatement of the chevron first. What

I believe

can be done?

that in order

to combat

student

problems, councillors must be willing to do some legwork and communicate extensively with students. I propose that this be done by the following means: holding more “meet your fed rep” sessions; crit’ sessions with all councillors in attendance; councillors should be made to submit reports to council on their activities and justify the use of privilege cards; the money from privilege cards could be better used for newsletters, surveys, projects, etc.; reps should frequently talk to classes; agendas and minutes of council meetings should be more accessible to students so they can see just what their reps are or are not doing. I have attended every council meeting this term and if elected will continue to do so. I have seen the asinine way in which council operates and the way in which the democratic process is subverted. I believe I have a firm grasp of the issues concerning students and I am willing to work for the students’ best interests. To the students of the math faculty I offer a person who is willing to put in the time and effort required for responsible representation. On Monday, Novemb,er 29 vote Peter Blunden for math representative on students’ council.

Kevin LWillis My name is Kevin Willis and under the present conditions of the Federation, I have decided to run for the Math regular seat in order that I may bring society (ultimately student) input to this council. I feel capable in this respect as I am presently Vicepresident of the Mathematics Society. Part of my responsibilities is presenting the views of the student to the faculty and thus I am an active member of the Mathematics Faculty Council. On behalf of the Math students I recently managed to voice their sentiment concerning an unbearable exam table i.e. the scheduling of exams too dose to the holidays. I was able to get the Faculty Executive Committee to take action in this matter and they have promised to come up with a solution that will please all or most people . In the last few months I have witnessed the Chevron conflict and because I am student motivated not politically oriented, bound to the society (which I feel is more responsive to student needs) with no affiliation with the present Federation administration, I have no official position on the subject. However I personally feel that Shane Roberts acted prematurely in closing the Chevron. I don’t think he weighed the consequences of his actions. He should immediately instigate a unbiased investigation in order to clarify the situation. The “free chevron” staff are just as bad. They have brought this upon themselves through their pressuring and the forcing of certain politics onto the Chevron, hoping to use the media to influence the student body. This was not just a couple of articles but a number of articles every week. Does it not seem right that the Federation should react when a group of people tend to use, for their purpose, the Chevron, a paper financed by the Federation as a student enterprise? This problem can, be solved but only through more feedback from you. I am easily reached in the Mathsoc office, mc3038, or by phone, ext. 2324. Call, come in and see me or leave a note telling me of your stand. On Monday Nov. 29 vote for an experienced worker from your society who wiil take your stand to council. Vote Kevin Willis and I will continue to work for you.

ddhoria+ r AS rocks come flying through windows, and a federation president is found with his finger stuck-up a typewriter, people are asking what this is all about. So let us explain: The federation executive led by Roberts has been trying to close the student newspaper since Sept. 24; and the chevron has resisted their arbitrary action on the principle that investigation should precede . action. The minutes of that executive meeting (Sept. 24)which closed the paper are full of “suspicions”, rumours” and “may well be’s”. What we say is that if the federation executive had some suspicions about how the paper was being run and about reds in the deskdrawers they had at their disposal a simple course of action. They could have called an investigation. Instead they decided to have the locks changed without any chevron staff knowing, and so began Roberts’ Railroad. From there we have had _ funds cut off, staff members fired without fair hearings - a task force which was given four days to review and rewrite obsolete bylaws - a general meeting which was cut-off when all was not going in Roberts’ favour - recall petitions ignored - phones throttled and an excess of expensive fed litter which is often folded to look like a newspaper, and an ever-increasing legal fee. Also the federation has developed an appetite for our cameras and typewriters and have maintained their irksome habit of trying to put locks in our way. The feds have opted for a melee rather than to investigate the situation and have their charges put to the test. We say the ‘paper. should not have been closed without first having an investigation. The only way to proceed is to reinstate the paper as it was Sept. 24 and then establish an investigation of the whole affair. To do otherwise is to say: “well even though we haven’t given you a trial you’re guilty, or to admit that they don’t have a case which could stand up in “court”.” The chevron has consistently called for the reinstatement of the paper and an investigation. We maintain that stand. We welcome an investigation by students so that the arguments of both sides may be judged. But the federation council and its executive have consistently avoided the prospect of letting students look into the affair. They had done nothing more than dabble with the idea of investigation, until Sunday’s council meeting. There it seems they felt pressured and went for the following motion: That the council approach persons with expertise in law, news media, statutes and civilrights for the purpose of forming an outside investigation body to investigate charges made by the Federation executive and the chevron respectively. Furthermore, that said committee will submit a report on its finding on recommendations thereto to the council. The free chevron’s supporters on council voted against it. Our position is that this will not solve the proble,m. The motion is ludicrous. It does not specify who is on this commission; who will choose the investigators (Roberts?); what powers it has, nor what it will cost. Nor does it meet with our demand that the paper be reinstated. We believe that the students of this university should decide in an unfettered investigation. If the council has decided that there is a need for an investigation then there should have been one in the first place and that means we should be reinstated. And if they are suddenly feeling an inclination to look into the affair then they should do it properly and not play around with toys they can’t afford and which don’t fulfil1 the need. The students of UW can, and should, settle this. Council must establish an investigation commission with a clear mandate, a clear structure, and comprised of students. Reinstate! Investigate! and for those councillors or executive members who continue to shower scorn on due process they should find the same fate as their president - a hefty recall petition and a Number 7 mainline schedule. the chevron

‘rWarriombrmk ice iii bid for crown The ice men have come to Waterloo. In a blaze of sticks and skates the hockey season is upon us again. The Waterloo Warriors have taken to the arena for their latest assault on the national crown. Just barely into their schedule the team is playing .600 hockey. They remain tied in first place in the Westem Division of the OUAA with a 3-2 win-loss record after a victory Friday,, night (Nov. 12) over the Windsor Lancers and a loss on Tuesday night (Nov. 16) against the Western Mustangs. The game on Friday night, played at the Waterloo Memorial Arena, was a wide open affair which saw a total of seventeen goals scored, with the Warriors coming out ahead 9-8. The game started slowly as a result of twenty-two penalties (no fights) being called in the first period alone. With both teams playing four and five men aside for most of the first period, only rookie Joe Marcaccio of the Warriors could notch a goal,. The Warriors started slowly in the second period resulting in a Windsor goal by Bert Fournier, his first of four in the game. This Windsor goal ignited a spark under the whole Warrior team as they replied with three unanswered goals by Ken Greene, Mike Zettel and Joe Maraccio, all within two minutes of each other. The second period continued to produce goals as a total of twelve were potted in the period, making the score 8-5, after two periods, in favour of the Warriors. The remaining second period Warrior goals were by Jeff Fielding (OUAA all-star last year) with three, and rookie Rave Jutzi with one. For the Windsor Lancers in the second period, scorers were Jerry Morse with two and Steve Murdoch and Bert Fournier with one apiece. Entering the third period, with the score 8-5 in favour of the Warriors, / the Lancers came out

‘smokin’. By the fifteen minute mark of the third period, Windsor had tied the game at 8 apiece on two goals by Bert Fournier, his third and fourth of the evening, and Steve Murdoch’s second. Fortunately for the Warriors, with only three minutes remaining in the year man Ken game, second Greene, notched his second goal of the night, to clinch the game for the Warriors. Overall the Warriors outshot the Lancers, 32 to 24, which was indicative of the slight advantage in play that they maintained throughout the game. It should also be noted that the game marked the return of goal tender Jake ‘Dupuis. The former Waterloo Warrior star was opposing his ex-team mates Eric Brubacher, Jeff Fielding and company. He is attending teacher’s college at the University of Windsor this year. The game on Tuesday night at London against the University of Western Ontario Mustangs proved to be much less enjoyable. The Warriors were annihilated 10-2. The Warriors were never in the game as they were down 5-O before Jeff Fielding opened the Warrior scoring half way through the second period on a beautiful individual effort. The goal seemed to spark the Warriors for a brief moment but they soon reverted back to their slow-motion style of play * Waterloo’s only other goal was scored at the 7:5 1 mark of the third period by Harry Robock. The Mustangs, on the other hand, came to play hockey as they opened the scoring with only one minute gone in the game andnever let up! The Mustangs were led by Dave Nadeau and Leo Lefebure, with two goals apiece, while singles went to Frank Inouye, Maurice Oiron, Ray Love, Bobby Horton, Al Opatovsky and Paul Vandergust. I was also very impressed by their first string goaltender, Robbie

Weak start for Waterloo wrestlers The wrestling team started its season on Nov. 18 with a trip to Western. Western has a very strong team this year as usual. Our team looks inexperienced but strong overall. Missing from last year’s team are Tony Beiler and Tim Wenzel. Tim was a national team member and the outstanding wrestler at last year’s OUAA finals. Against Western we only managed one win in eleven matches but several others were close. Inexperience was the deciding factor in several matches. At 126 lbs. Ernie Belyea of Waterloo beat Ed Gogol. Ernie looked good in his win over one of the top wrestlers in the province. In the 109 lb. class Martin Kayahara lost a real heartbreaker in his first intercollegiate match. Martin was winning 8 to 4 until near the end of the fight when Western’s Garry Chouliars scored some quick points to win 15 to 10. Martin was the aggressor throughout the fight. Many observers felt that Chouliars should have been disqualified for passivity. Guy Milton fought well at 167 lbs. but lost 12 to 2 to John Pendergast. Guy looked a little hesitant and didn’t complete his moves properly. Another high point of the night was the match between Don Mar-r-in of Waterloo and Western’s Sean Barry at 134 lb. Barry is one of the top two or three wrestlers in the country. It is a credit to Don that he lost by a decision and looked competitive ._

On Saturday Nov. 20 the Warriors sponsored the first wrestling tournament of the season. The 39 entrants from Windsor, Western, Guelph and WLU praised the-general organisation of the tournament. If the OUAA finals that are to be held here February 19 and 20 are run as well, they will be a great success. The Warriors finished a strong third with 40 points. Guelph finished first with 54 points and Western finished second with 44. The Warriors had no individual winners. They did place second in six events out of nine, a good showing. The .Warriors had a strong chance of winning the 109 lb. class but Martin Kayahara was the only competitor entered. He made a fine showing in the 118 lb. weight class but the weight difference was too great to overcome. He lost to a heavier competitor. One of Waterloo’s strongest contenders is Bob Emptige who is still out of .action with an injury. Bob finished second in the OUAA last year. This Saturday the Warriors travel to Toronto for the Ryerson Open. This is a tough meet bringing together most of Canada’s top wrestlers and the best from the Northern U.S. Anyone interested in joining the wrestling team should drop by the P.A.C. combatives room at 5:3O pm. They especially need large (over 200 lb.) and small (under 120 lbs) wrestlers.

Moore, a four year University of Michigan veteran (1972-76) and a two year All-American (1974-75 and 1975-76). After the Warriors poor performance in London against the Westem Mustangs on Turesday Night and the 4-l loss to Guelph earlier last week, we can only hope that they can improve their awry performances to the level that they are capable of. In an interview, coach Bob McKillop said that all of the teams in the division (Laurier, Guelph, Windsor & Western) have improved; to stay

even the Warriors have had to improve also, but he added that he felt that the improvement was being made. McKillop then talked on the subject of 1st year men who have impressed him so far; Chris Chappell, formerly of the Waterloo Jr. B’s, found a regular spot on a solid defence. Kevin Walker, another defenseman, has also been impressive since his arrival from Cornell. Another two new players are Dave Jutziclw and Bob Clarke, both goalies who are playing well. If past history is any indication

this year should be a good one. The Warriors finished third last year, one point out of second. Overall, the past record of the team is quite impressive, with four league championships in the last eight years and one national championship two years ago. All Warrior hockey games are carried on Radio Waterloo 94.1 cable F.M. and CKWR-FM 98.7 F.M., for those of you who cannot make it out in person to cheer the Warriors on to victory.

Basketball

classic this weekend

The University of Waterloo will host its Ninth Annual Naismith Basketball Classic this weekend, November 26 and 27. Once again, eight of the top university basketball teams from across Canada will be taking part in the Naismith. The West will have two representatives in the Naismith. The University of Calgary, the team who representated the Canada West Intercollegiate Conference in the Canadian University Championship last spring will be one of the participants. Another representative from the West will .be the University of Alberta. Alberta will be coached by Garry Smith. He replaces Barry Mitchelson who has retired to the academic ranks at Alberta. Alberta will have a strong nucleus of three sophomores. They are Mike Abercrombie, Keith Smith and Brent Patterson .. Ironically, all three players come from Calgary. Patterson played with the Canadian National Junior Team this past summer. Heading up to the Naismith from the East will be the St. Francis Xavier University X-Menfrom Antigonish, N.S. The X-Men are coached by Steve Konchalski who was the assistant coach with the Canadian National Basketball Team for the past two years. The X-Men are expected to give the traditional powers from the Atlantic Conference, St. Mary’s and Acadia, a real run for league honours this season. Seeping out of the North will be the Voyageurs from Laurentian University. The Voyageurs will have a new coach. He 1s Richie Spears. Spears comes to Laurentian after coaching at Dawson College, a Quebec Community College in Montreal. The Voyageurs have an experienced team with such veterans Jeff Bennett and Reni Dolcetti. The V’s have picked up a transfer student from the West in the person of Steve Pettifer. Pettifer was the scoring leader in the West while playing at UBC Spears has also brought two of his stars from Dawson College with him. They are; Varouj Gurunilian and Henry Blumenfield. Another new coach, at least new to the head coaching ranks in the QUAA will be Wes Hicks the coach of the McMaster Marauders. Hicks comes to McMaster after spending the last few years at Mohawk College in Hamilton. He previously served as an assistant coach to the outgoing coach of the Marauders, Bill Fowler . And yet another new head coach will be Pete Smith of the Queen’s University Golden Gaels. Smith replaces Gamey Heme;* who had been lined up to take over the Football and Basketball chorse at Queen’s. You’ll recall that Henley went with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats of the Canadian Football League this year. He has been coaching the

Guelph Gryphons in the past. Another Smith will lead the Wilfrid Laurier Golden Hawks into the Naismith. For Smith and the Hawks, the 1976-77 season will be somewhat of a rebuilding year. Gone from the Hawks” lineup will be Chuck Chambliss, Mark Christensen and Gary Schwartz. Chambliss set a season scoring record for the OUAA last year when he scored 360 points breaking the old record of 335 points set by Mike Moser of the University of Waterloo in 1973-74. The field will be rounded out by the host team, the University of Waterloo Warriors. The defending Naismith champions, the Warriors have been taking a little time to get their game in shape this season. However,. with the home crowd behind them, it could provide the catalyst to get the Warriors into high gear for the 1976-77 season. As part of the Final Night of this year’s Naismith, two features will be added to the program. Between games on Saturday night, November 27, there will be an exhibition wheelchair basketball game. Participating in this exhibition basketball game will be members of Ontario’s Wheelchair Team. Most of the members are also

-morgan pirie -doug hamilton

members of the Toronto Thumberbolts. The Thunderbolts play in the Lake Erie Conference of the National Wheelchair Basketball Association. Toronto is one of only three teams who play in NWBA. The other two teams are Edmonton and Vancouver. Helping to organize the game will be Dean Melway. Melway, a resident of the Waterloo Region also plays for both the Thunderbolts and the Ontario Team. The exhibition wheelchair game is scheduled to take place at 8:00 P.M. It will last approximately one-half hour. Between the halves of the championship game, the fans will be treated to an outstanding display of frisbee throwing by the Molson Diamond Frisbee Throwers. The team from Molson’s particularily likes to put on their show in the Physical Activities Complex at the University of Waterloo because of the very high ceiling. They feel that it enables them to perform a lot of tricks that ordinarily could only be done outside. And yet when doing them inside, they are not bothered by the wind. All in all it should make for another exciting weekend of basketball at the University of Waterloo.
