Redneck is not a student at UW, and tould not, therefore, become a candidate in the normal way. However, he is running on L write-in platform, feeling that if enough students want a non-student for their Presilent they should be given the opportunity. He feels that the position of the Federation
President is too important a job to be left in the hands of what he calls “one of them grubby little students”. “Here’s your chance”, says Redneck, “to get a real man in charge. If youse guys want someone to take an authoritarian position on the issues, then I’m your man.” His campaign slogan is “Vote Lee .. . I promise nothing, and that’s what you’ll get!”

This coming Tuesday February lst, the UW Board of Governors will be meeting to approve, among other things, an increase of approximately $100 for tuition fees. This means that regular students will be paying $725 per year, coop students $422.50 per term except engineering and architecture where the fees will be $440 per term. The Committee Against Cutbacks is calling on all students to come to this meeting at which a submission from the committee will be presented. The submission will call on the BOG to not approve this increase. This will be the first step in a campaign against fee increases and against education spending cutbacks in general.

h’ Letters? Party & pun Last spring the then “Chevron” published a picture of a riotous party with the caption “The Faculty Decide End of the Term Results.” There were no published complaints. What kind of Canadian citizen would ignore such a slight to the administration of the university where he is receiving his education, yet scream at an alleged reference to “racism” the deceased ruler of a foreign country?

Way back when, September 1976. my name mysteriously appeared in the masthead of the “illegal” edition of the Chevron. Sept. 30, at the Student Federation meeting on the Chevron affair, Neil Docherty admitted that my name had been entered erroneously, and promised to mention so in the next edition. Come the beginning of December, I happened to run into Neil and mention that the correction had yet to be printed, when he again promised tb refer to the error in the next edition of the Free Chevron.

Insult to mice To the staff and “Burden” of “Real Chevron”: Although we are angered by your so-called “Pun” we are certainly not humour!ess. We consider it an insult that the front page photo and cutline in the Jan. 7 “Real” Chevron should appear in a university student newspaper. We consider it a grave insult to all mice; those quiet and non-disruptive creatures (not like some of‘ other ” Free” ‘er people) that they should be compared to a proven massmurderer. These unassuming creatures have in recent years helped mankind prevent diseases and study behavioral reactions through biological research. These mice are also extensively used in valuable research here at the University of Waterloo. Did you, through your “Pun”, try to create an association between the researchers at U. of W. and commu-
nistic tyrants that have no respect for life? We the undersigned, demand a full apology to mice everywhere and hope that these and other creatures will never be maligned henceforth through associations with such vile people (and’ we use the term loosely) as chairman Mao, Hitler and Mussolini.

Irate erratum To the Editor; Whoever is responsible for proofreading at the Real Chevron deserves to be sacked. In my letter to the editor last week, among other things, the words “totalitarian ideology” were altered to read “totalitarianism ideology” in print. I expect to draw sufficient flak for my opinions on the AlA and the Free Chevron; I don’t need to be attacked as well for poor style and grammar because of your typographical errors..

CRG attacked At the next Federation Council meeting, Doug Thompson, the presidential candidate for the Campus Reform Group (CRG) - those erstwhile deserters of the sinking Roberts’ ship is going to try to ram through council once again his motion. Since this is their last chance before the election, they will try to call in all their troops-including three out of five Math Reps, and one from most of the other faculties. The oply faculties that do not as yet have a Fed-connected CRG man are Engineering and Environmental Studies. Contrary to the students’ interests, Thompson and cronies are going to set up a new bureaucracy called, of all things, a Journal of politics, arts,’ sciences, and education (my italics). They are going to spend quite a bit of money and if they had had their way, you wouldn’t even have heard about it until too late. If you want to find out why, read on. Article five of the motion states that positions for co-editors will be advertised, and applications submitted to the Board of Publications.- The Board then sends its recommenda-
tions to the Feds for ratification. The Board had its first meeting in two years last November, and includes a CRG member, “Mad Dog” Dillon (I.S., mathNEWS editor-sometimes) and an ex-Roberts supporter, Rob “Rag” White (Math, Speaker - Fed Council). The current chairperson is Leona Kyry>ow. Kyrytow was the controversial Roberts appointee who admitted at the time that she had no qualifications. Contrary to policy, the position was not widely advertised. Article six says that the co-editors’ terms will be eight months, except that in the first year only, one will be four months. It goes on to claim that any co-op student will be therefore able to participate. I’m sorry, Doug, but my understanding is that if a co-op student gets appointed in a later year (for eight months) he will be off campus for four months, leaving the other editor with effective control. Article nine sets up a review board that will handle complaints, and report to the Feds. Voting members are: all society editors (6). the coeditors (21, the Board of Publications Chairperson (1), and last but not least, the editor of the student paper iJ1; More on this review board to folArticle ten sets out Thompson’s idea of an editorial policy-R. Burton, Thompson’s “friendly” “Real Chevron” editor, take note: The main emphasis is on an even b$ance between Education, Politics, Arts, and Science. In case of a shortage in one section that can be made up by other sections, the first rule of substitution will be the article’s “timely and topical nature”, that is, its newsworthiness. Make up your mind, Thompson, do you want a journal or a newspaper? Failing that, the next rule is drawing of lots. Recently-published authors get one lot, the others two. The real clincher is paragraph “E”, though. “Decisions regarding what material is to be included will be made by the review board in accord with the aforementioned criteria and procedures outlined above or added or amended by Council from time to time.” Thompson, what are you thinking of? You select two paid editors and then put them in a position where two things can happen. One, the society reps will actually find time to show up each month for the unpaid job of helping a paid Fed appointee and paid editors put together a journal. In this case why be stingy about it? Spread the stud‘ents’ money around and pay everybody. The other thing, of course, is that the society rep will not show up. That leaves the two editors appointed by the Chairperson and the Chairperson and the student paper editor voting on each issue. Cute if you can get it. The beautiful part is yet to come, articles eleven through fourteen, dealing with financing and advertising. Article eleven provides that any: one who is not satisfied with the way they have been handled by the review board, or who want to guarantee that their point of view will be heard, can always buy space in the journal at cost. Article twelve-the size and therefore the content of the journal is to be dependent upon the amount of advertising raised. One third of the journal is to be advertising, which article thirteen says is to be the sole responsibility of the Board of Publications. Student newspapers in the past and in the present, while under the responsibility of the Board (at least that is what the rules say) are responsible themselves for advertising revenue. Article fourteen sets the issue run at 5,000 with the journal to be printed monthly. By comparison, the student newspaper run has been eleven to thirteen thousand, about the size of the full-time student population, while mathNEWS is 1200 and occasionally 1500 per issue. The success of this journal depends on competing with the student paper for advertising. Does anybody remember the Fed’s and the present CRG councillors stand last year when “Like it is” was run off campus because it would compete against the Fed-funded student paper for advertising? Does anybody remember the recent referendum where the students voted 8: 1 to have a student paper? Nowhere does the preamble to Thompson’s motion state that anybody has asked for this Journal. It does claim that a large number of students do not want such topics
in the student paper. When did a “large” number of students say this? I don’t remember any petition or referendum on this. Does anybody remember being asked? Maybe the CRG polled themselves, since they represent such a “large” part of the student body. By endorsing Thompson’s journal, the CRG has told the students that they want the students to shell out $600 per year for two editors that will either do nothing or everything, plus any costs that advertising taken from the student paper won’t cover (don’t forget those 5,000 issues). The CRG and Thompson want to set up competition against a studentfunded paper that the students definitely want, without giving evidence that anybody but themselves want theirs. In other words, to hell with what the students want. There are several CRG members in the societies, mostly in Math, but one also in Science, IS, Arts, HKLS, and Grads. There are seven admitted members in Fed Council. They will try to ram this through the next council meeting, as they have in the past. The only reason they haven’t succeeded is because quorum was broken. If you don’t want Thompson and CRG’s Journal, go to your society office and ask who iour Fed Rep is. If he can’t be found, remember that in the next council election. Ask them how they are going to vote, and tell them what you think. Support them if you want to, it’s your money. If you want to talk at the next Fed meeting, the Ont. Corp. Act gives .you that right. Council in the past has tried to require sponsorship by a councillor before they would recognize you, but some councillors pointed out that they legally can’t get away with it. Just remember to be orderly, and ask one of the councillors to explain Roberts Rules beforehand or you could get cut to ribbons for not following proper procedure. If no one will talk to you, you’ll know what the CRG really means when they say they advocate open communication b&ween the Feds ._- . and the students.

wait for an opportune time to escape. Try to talk him out of the rape and don’t struggle. Use witty and imaginative phrases to outwit him. If none of this works, Storaska maintains that a woman can always resist later but the only physical resistance he advocates is an attack on the eyes or testicles. He claims to base his approach to rape prevention on years of research, roughly 4,000 cases. We have found no evidence to support this other than in the form of antecdotes in his book and film. There are many fallicies in Storaska’s theories. Regarding the nature of rape - it is not a crime of sexual passion, it is a crime of violence, humiliation and control. Rapists do not become violent because women resist. Violence arises from the deeprooted aggression necessary to commit rape. The idea that a woman will only get raped if she resist passively, has no basis in fact. Since rapists are not driven by a need for sexual contacts and outlets, it is ridiculous to assume that their aggression can be appeased through intercourse. The percentage of extremely violent rapes is low, but those men prone to murder are just as likely to murder after a rape as before, and whether the woman resists or not. Rapists often promise “I won’t hurt you if you don’t resist,” but there is no guarantee that they will keep their word. Rapistmurderers from the Boston Strangler to Henry Williams have used these promises to coerce their victims into submission, and have murdered them anyway. Storaska’s assurance that women can still resist later if his method doesn’t work is,contrary to evidence. The longer a woman waits, the more difficult it is to get out of the situation. In fact Dr. Selkin, a Denver psychologist who has worked extensively with rapists, points out that by hesitating or playing along, a woman is assuring the rapist that she will be his victim and if she resists later he may suddenly feel more angry at this time, that had she resisted at the beginning before the situation had progressed so far. There are other reasons why Storaska’s advice of waiting and playing along could be dangerous. Dr. Selkin has noticed that most rapists follow a pattern of choosing a vulnerable victim, testing, threatening, and then acting. When a woman hesitates or shows fear after being threatened, the rapist is encouraged to follow through with an act that he may have felt undecided about. Hesitation gives him a chance to check whether the woman is alone or not to look for means of escape and to decide whether it is ‘safe’ for him to rape. Storaska completely overlooks the fact that consent IS one of the major legal issues in proving whether or not a rape took place. Lack of resistance on the part of a woman is the first thing defense lawyers look for in a rape case. Thus, if a woman followed Storaska’s advice of playing along and leading the man on, and then was raped, she would find it almost impossible to prosecute. The film discourages women who may have been thinking of taking self-defense by denying its usefulness. Storaska bluntly states that women wouldn’t bother to take selfdefense anyway, and proceeds to play on all the fears women have about resisting attacks. There is evidence, however, that active resistance at the onset of a dangerous situation is the most effective method of rape prevention. In a Stanford study of women who managed to escape being raped, 100% of them used active resistance. None of them escaped by talking their way out of the situation or by outwitting the man. In 50% of these cases the attacker was repelled by a loud noise alone. The danger of being hurt by resisting is not nearly as great as is believed, but it is this fear that immobilizes women more than anything else. We don’t claim that active resistance is the only way a woman will be able to avoid rape. Many tactics have been used successfully in the past. Obviously when there are weapons involved (although the percentage is low) the danger is much therefore each situation greater, must be evaluated separately. Generally though, preparing oneself mentally and physically to be able to avoid and resist an attack, is the best advice we can give women. There are many reasons why selfdefence is effective. 1. A woman who has learned self-
the real chevron defence gains an air of confidence which diminishes the likelihood that she will be chosen as a potential victim. 2. Rapists do not expect their victims to retaliate, so a woman has the advantage of surprise. 3: Resistance at the beginning of an attack doesn’t give the assailant a chance to assess the situation. 4. Putting up a loud strong resistance attracts other people, who may be able to help. Also, in a crisis situation people freeze, and lose the ability to think clearly and speak without showing fear. It is easier to turn fear into angry resistance than to turn it into witty phrases and feminine wiles and guiles. “How to Say No to a Rapist and Survive” treats the issue of rape far too lightly. Storaska presents the topic in a circus-like format, frequently making uncouth and insulting jokes about a ghastly crime. Worse than that, it doesn’t offer women enough alternatives or make them aware of potentially dangerous situations. It also lures women into a feeling of false security by making them think that they would probably be able ta outwit or reason with a potential rapist. We feel that any woman who sees this film ,and believes in Storaska’s advice, may be severely endangered if faced with a potential rapist. We realize there are few worthwhile films on rape and rape prevention, and we can only urge people to be patient until better ones appear on the market. Although there are no films that we can wholeheartedly recommend, anything is better than “How to Say No to a Rapist.” Please, DO NOT SHOW, “How to Say No to a Rapist and Survive.“’ Rosemarie Volpe
More on Mao TO THE EDITOR: In reply to Mouse I and II: The conclusion derived from the innocent amusement of Jan. 7/77 (ie. “Mouse Tse-Tung”) is really incredibly DUMB - (if I might use the word) - !! e Your hallowed Mao is perhaps derided because there do exist those who YET find his philosophies and modus operandi to be, rather absurb enough to warrant a scoff or two now and then. HOW do you construe a nation-wide insult from an amusing and perhaps even (gasp!) significant trifling poke at a figure who happens to be Chinese? His nationality has nothing to do with the subject of the poke! Hey - if we’re going to be feeling affronted as a people, let’s at least wait until an insult has been offered, shall we? ... and ...oh..if you see a figure or philosophy derided... dear friends.. instead of screaming indignantly about ignorance and blasphemy, maybe you should think that perhaps there could be a weensy grain of truth to it all...?... MAYBE you should think a little more coherently about what the derision actually implies...

All three candidates see problems in the Present structure of the Federation and all three have pledged to change them. If the candidate we support, Doug Thompson, wins the election we will certainly do our utmost to help him in implementing the various proposals that we have put forth.

Disappointed
with
students This letter reflects a strong personal disappointment in the response of a majority of students to the Chevron affair. It appears that in the confusion many of us have lost touch with the issues with which we were originally concerned. Reactionism, prejudice, and an ignorance of the facts have produced a response which is little less than a disregard for democratic principles. As students we have two main concerns: that the federation uses our funds to maintain a responsible student government which initiates and organizes events; and that we have the best student newspaper possible to inform us of campus activities, to educate, and to entertain us. Unfortunately, rather than taking positive action toward these goals, the Chevron affair has done the exact opposite. Instead of making an effort to increase its rapport and involvement with the student body, the Federation has concentrated its efforts on cleaning out (wiping out might be more appropriate) the Chevron. The Chevron (alias Free Chevron) on the other hand has had to direct most of its energy to defending itself instead of improving its journalistic content. The tremendous irony is that if we ignore personality conflicts, mudslinging rhetoric, political accusation and insinuation, we find a number of the members of the federation and the Chevron have the same goal. Let me further clarify this statement; members on both sides want (if not always actively seeking e.g.. rock throwing, fighting) a fair and just solution. I have no authority to comment on the internal problems of the federation. But on the role of a campus newspaper and the plight of the Free Chevron I feel compelled to speak. While doing a number of research papers, I have exchanged opinions with a major newspaper editor and spent a day with a reporter. Granted, this experience would not guarantee me a position on The Washington Post but it has taught me the value of a high quality free press. Ever since I arrived at Waterloo, I have felt the Chevron could use a lot of improvement; improvement in quality. It now appears that I am also wishing for a free press. Any intelligent and fair analysis of the referendum shows that it is not only contradictory (in itself and with C.U.P. principles) but raises questions about its impartiality. There are so many rumours and misconceptions about the whole Chevron affair that it is not surprising that the average student would’ just like to see a settlement. The referendum certainly reflected this. But let us be quite sure of what we’re settling for. COMPARE: hysterical cries of “communistic” and “undemocratic” to a meeting of the Chevron staff which drags on for hours just so that the entire staff can express opinions on the issues. My experience is that anyone is not only welcome but encouraged to participate; even though a member of the staff joked that I might be an undercover fed I was still welcome. The whole Chevron affair has had one beneficial side effect. The challenge from outside has created in the staff a strong belief in a free press, a responsible free press. It is difficult not to be impressed with the enthusiasm, integrity and dedication of a number of these people. They are aspiring to producing the kind of paper Waterloo deserves (without much encouragement I might add) Certainly the Chevron can be further improved, but let’s not waste or destroy the spirit that can contribute to this improvement.

I do not oppose cutbacks and tuition increases. First, I. don’t see how students can mount any effective opposition to these questions and second I don’t think that tuition increases are unjustified. On the “issue” of cutbacks; there have been no real cutbacks in education, it’s just that faculty and funding have not grown as much as the number of students has. Instead of criticizing anonymous people in government and “cutbacks” for administration the onus should be on us, the students, to get ourselves the best value for our money. It is charged that the government is on its way to the full implimentation of the Henderson Report (ie tuition of $1000 and no grant portion of OSAP), but I find it hard to believe that the government would go through ‘with such drastic action. They are not committed to the Report and are not so politically foolish that they would increase tuition by $400 in one year. The one tuition fee increase I disagree with is that applied to foreign students; we should not consider our educational system as the private resources of Ca-

duce the paper and set its editorial policy. The method of work of the paper should be seeking truth from facts to serve the people. It is essential that the chevron not be converted into a reactionary bourgeois style of newspaper, which reports only one side of the story and relies on opinions of reactionaries for news instead of finding out facts. Reporting of the chevron affair by the Gazette and the K-W Record should be taken as a prime example of rotten, biased journalism. As far as the current Federation-chevron dispute goes, we support Reinstate! Investigate ! The Federation should not be granted bureaucratic powers to prevent communists from giving their views in the newspaper. 3) Cutbacks and the tuition hike - Our line is Make the Rich Pay! This means that there should be free education for students from the working class as well as those from the section of the middle class which cannot afford a university education. On the other hand, students from rich families should be made to pay all the costs of their own education plus the costs of educating students from the working class. We as students are trained at specific jobs in order to serve the needs of the capitalists in Canada for trained youth. The capitalists pay only a token amount towards the costs of education, whereas working people are forced to pay most of the costs through taxes. The working class is increasingly being cut off entirely from university. Finally, all of the time and money spent getting a degree are for naught if there are no jobs, available. We must demand jobs’ from the capitalists and the state. 4) Fighting reactionaries on campus - This year (1976-77) has seen the growing activity of the most reactionary section of the students. These anti-demoncratic forces have waged a hysterical campaign and discussion of all progressive views on campus, They have encouraged an atmosphere on campus favourable to racism and fascism. Racial slurs have appeared in the Federation’s “real chevron” and Enginews, and there have even been several racist attacks an UW students in 1976. What should be done to combat this trend? The broadest section of revolutionary, progressive and democratic-minded students must get organized against the reactionaries on every front where they are active. We call for Unity in Action against the anti-democratic forces which serve the interests of the rich. Fight racist attacks with active self-defence. DEFEND THE BASIC INTERESTS OF THE STUDENTS! MAKE THE RICH PAY! Salah Bachir Salah announced yesterday afternoon that he would no longer be taking part in the election campaign.

The students of this university have been short-changed by their Federation and the factions that
january 28, 1977 have been warring with the Federation.’ It is now time that the students joined together in order to rectify the situation. This can only be done by electing a student to work for the students. I believe that I am that student. For two years now I have watched the Federation, headed by nonstudents, misuse my fees, and the fees of every student on this, campus. The recent newspaper issue has demonstrated to me that the Federation is, as it stands now, incapable of looking after my interests. The Federation “old guard” has been ineffective in coming to grips with cut-backs etcetera, and in its dealings with the Ontario Federation of Students. As a student, I demand that my student government work for me and, in my interests. What good is student government if it does not work for me? It becomes, instead. a heaven ‘for those who are interested only in furthering their political care&s, and who want -only to push their own pa-rtitular ideologies. ,I say -that it’s time for a change!

A lot of my friends have been asking me “Why on earth are you running for Fed. president?” nose ‘who know realize that the office of president eats up qn incredible number of hours, evenings and Geeken.ds, not to mention the frustration of a job which contains very little glory, but one helluva lot of work and a relatively meagre salary. So why on earth would any, even marginally sane, individual, ask for such a job? In the five years that I’ve been on this campus (two were taken off to work), I have watched the Federation struggle from one petty intrigue to the next while the major problems of student Problife went unattended. lems like transit cutbacks, problems like inadequate housing, problems like poor course evalu&ions, inadequate entertainment, a shitty pub in the Campus Centre, tuition hikes, university Funding cutbacks, shorter library qours, ever-larger classes, ever more obsolete research equipment, etc. etc. The student has far less politi:a1 clout than his fellow citizen in the work force. He cannot insulate himself against inflation ,n rent, food and tuition costs. There is little he can do when the administration cuts back on lixary hours or makes his classes arger. Working together, however, ;tudents make up a significant 110~ of the population, especially n a city as small as ours. The ?ederation is the organized voice If students - with the help of the Taculty-based societies .and clubs, he Fedefatioh has the- organized strength to deal with these prob.-
, lems.
If the Fed. doesn’t, no one will! The Federation must get off its butt and begin to work on these problems. To do this, the entire organization has to be reformed and brought up to date. Our bylaws are obsolete. Structures and attitudes tend to be far too bureaucratic. This must be changed! I fir& became involved with‘ the Federation Council a year ago insan attempt to do something about these problems. Although many councillors shared these conc&ns, we were able to do little about them because of a non-’ responsive bureaucracy and a small clique which insisted that since we didn’t support communism and the slogan “Make the Rich Pay” we were I really fa-scists in disguise and must be fought with the greatest energy. The frustration caused by our lack of success at working with-q in the system led to the formation. of the Campus Reform Group in December. But that effort has met stern resistance from both the bureaucrats and the fanatics. P&ple walked out of council meetings to break quorum when our measures came up’ for discussion. Both sides insisted on. waging their private little war and our efforts to begin some measures to shape up the Federation were, side-stepped, seen as threatening the status quo or as underhanded manouvers to sieze power. I am running now because I do want to shift the status quo away from those who would keep the Federation as their own private battlefield and towards those who. +5nt to roll ‘up their sleeves and begin to work for students! If you want to see the Feder>ation move in these directions then I ask for your support at the polls on February 2nd. Not only must the president be willing to cooperate with,council j and get down to the busifiess of serving students, the Council must be wil&ing to cooperate with the president and everyone must place the interests of the students above their own political intrigues. = Council nominations close Feb. 3 and the elections for 26 seats will be held Feb. 17. If you want to help serve the students of UW with more than just a vote for someone else, think about running yourself. We need good people on Council. Doug Thompspn

UFO’s: What Are They?
” Cosmic Amoebas Or SpaceBrothers? The Edge of Reality, by J. Allen Hynek and Jacques Vallee, Regnery, 1976,301 pp. $5.95. The Cosmic Pulse of Life, by Trevor James Constable, Merlin Press, Santa Ana, Cal., 1976, 410 pp. $5.95. Gods of Aquarius, by Brad Steiger, Harcourt - Brace - Javonovich, 1976,264 pp. $8.95.
by Robert
Anton Wilson
Dr. J. Allen Hynek is an astronomer who spent several years working for the Air Force explaining away UFO sightings. He actually created the infamous “swamp gas” theory which has provoked so much ridicule, but he, himself (he now tells us) was growing more and more unsatisfied with such explanations at the time he worked for the Air Force and now. insists that the many UFOs really are Unidentified. Dr. Jacques Vallee is another astronomer who saw a UFO back in the early 1960’s and was coerced into suppressing his report on it by the head of the observatory where he was working. Both Dr. Hynek and Dr. Vallee thus have ample reason to distrust the Establishment, but they are also highly suspicious of True Believers who claim to know what the hell is really going on behind the establishment cover-up. The Edge of Reality is an attempt to document, scientifically and rigorously, how much we do know about UFO’s and how much we don’t know. It is a highly sane and rational book. The authors conclude, chiefly, that we do know the UFO’s are something more physical than migratory hallucinations; that they have a strong subjective, or spiritual, effect on those who have close contact with them; and that they defy or blithely ignore most of the laws of current physics and aeronautics. We do not know that they are extraterrestrial or that any contactees have reported accurately the mind-boggling and consciousness-expanding experience that comes from getting too close to them. We do not know that they are piloted by benevolent space brothers who have come here to solve all our problems for us, although that is what most of the true believers among the contactees and their followers say. We do know that the contactees have either been lied to or have hallucinated parts of their experi.ence, because their stories are mutually contradictory in many contain scientific imrespects, (humanoid space possibilities ladies from Venus, for instance) and are often characterized by the meta-logic of mysticism or schizophrenia. Dr. Vallee and Dr. Hynek agree that the UFO is, almost certainly, or almost-almost certainly, part of a bigger mystery, which also involves the “little people” of world-wide folk-lore and the Blessed Virgin Mary of numerous Catholic miracles, among other things. The “little people” ap-pear in many UFO experiences and pull off the same mind-fucks and time-warps as they’ve been credited with for aeons, and the Virgin Goddess appears almost as often, especially when the contactee is a child. Possibly, we are dealing with the same Magical Theatre that manifests in poltergeist disturbances, “dia-
bolical possession” and in parapsychology generally. But what is it? Dr. Hynek and Dr. Vallee agree, soberly, that the only honest answer to date is: we don’t bloody know. If there is any open-mindedness at all,among the diehard antiUFO cynics, this sober, thoughtful book would convince them that the mystery is very real and that a solution would be very desirable. The Cosmic Pulse of Life is something else again. Trevor James Constable is a true believer who has elected the late Dr. Wilhelm Reich as his oracle instead of the Hebrew scriptures, but otherwise he differs not at all from any other fundamentalist. He has written a bullying, angry, intemperate book in which his chief argument, repeated on virtually every page and sometimes literally in every paragraph for pages on end, is that, if you don’t believe him, you are neurotic. (The other fundamentalists say that if you don’t believe them, you are damned. Small difference. ) It is really a shame that Constable has buried his signal in so much paranoid rhetoric, because on close reading he does have several interesting things to say. First of all, he is convinced that many UFO’s are alive, just like you and me, and have the general qualities of gigantic \ protozoa. He presents some damned good evidence and almost convinces me. Probably, some of the more playful UFO’s really are the atmospheric amoebas that he posits. ’ The other UFO’s, he says, are from the “etheric” world and come in three families: Christian, Luciferian and Ahrimanian. That is, some are allied with Christ, some with Lucifer and some with Ahriman - who are not quite gods, but “discarnate” etheric beings with a propensity for meddling in Terran politics. Christ, Constable tells us, wishes to raise humanity to the plane of pure love. Lucifer, who is not the Devil, wishes to raise us to pure ecstasy, and is behind all dope cults from ancient Eleusis to the latest LSD trippers. Ahriman wishes to drag us down to nationalism, materialism, greed and continuous warfare. Thus, Christ and the Christian UFO’s are Good, Lucifer and the Luciferian UFO’s are beyond good and evil or beneath good and evil or ambivalent, and Ahriman and the Ahrimanian UFO’s are pure Evil. The evidence for this remarkable theological system is not nearly as good as the evidence for the bioplasmic UFO’s, in my estimation; but, of course, as a true believer, Constable will merely say this proves I’m neurotic. Anyway, I was amused and delighted by some of the ramifications of this theory, especially when Constable argues that the Ahrimanic forces took over Nixon’s mind and plotted the whole Watergate mess to degrade America. The profanity of Tricky Dick and his friends, Constable says, proves that they were possessed by the Ahrimanic entities. These demonic forces also controlled Hitler, of course, and have taken over the minds of some of t h e scientists who are skeptical about this theology. Not all4 scientific skeptics are
demonically possessed, Constable clarifies; some are merely suffering from what Reich called “emotional plague,” i.e. fear of orgasm. Like all messianic personalities, Constable is incapable of believing that anybody can honestly disagree with his revelations. Some of the more interesting pages in this remarkable book contain simple experiments which anybody can repeat, which will make you more aware of the “or= gone” energy described by Reich and its intimate connection with both orgasms and UFO’s. These experiments work, but whether there is one energy involved as Reich though, or three or four as others have suggested, remains to be determined. In no rational sense do such experiments prove the apocalyptical theology Constable has derived from them. Einstein once said, “The Lord God is subtle, but He isn’t deliberately crooked.” (Der Herr Gott ist rafiniert, aber boschaft ist Er nicht.) He meant that the universe appears increasingly tricky as our knowledge advances but is not deliberately trying to mislead us. In UFO and occult investigations this is emphatically not true. The phenomenon is not only subtle but deliberately crooked. All messages transmitted on this wavelength contain horse doctor’s doses of _ disinformation. The , human participant is always deceived up to the limit of his or her gullibility. Constable can argue until he’s blue in the face that his spaceamoebas and- etherian discarnates are the real UFO’s and that all the contactees who ‘believe in space brothers have simply been brainwashed by the Ahrimanian demons. The true believers in the space brothers mystique can reply that Constable has been brainwashed by demons who want to distort the real extra-terrestrial communication that is going on. All an objective observer can say is that Constable has made himself open to weird experiences, like a lot of us, and chooses to interpret these experiences in a certain way, while others interpret similar experiences in other ways. Like most Reichians, Constable is intent on repeating all the master’s dummheits along with his good ideas. He even tells us that the sexually healthy human is never promiscuous and loathes pornography but is “tolerant” of deviants. The hell you say, Constable. I’ve met sexually healthy people who are very promiscuous, revel in pornography and are deviants. The only thing one can say about sexually healthy individuals is that they have nothing in common at all. They are simply themselves. Reich was a towering genius, a great scientific pioneer and a brilliant experimenter, but the best I can say about most Reichians is that they aren’t as funny as Scientologists. Gods of Aquarius, by Brad Steiger, is more agnostic than Hynek and Vallee but also more apocalyptical than Constable. Where Hynek and Vallee gingerly refuse to accept any theory, Steiger cheerfully agrees to accept all possible theories as containing some aspect of the truth. Some or all UFO’s, Steiger says, are, or have some of the characteristics of, an explosion of archetypes from Jung’s collective unconscious, some are also the gods of witchcraft and shamanism, space visitors, time travelers, angels and our own psycho-kinesis on an unconscious rampage. (The last theory, which is one of my own favorites, means simply that the contactee creates the UFO, including burn-marks on the grounds, I confirming radar sightings and other evidence, the same
way a poltergeist child makes furniture fly around or Geller bends metal. ) Steiger has a meta-model which includes all of these separate models. He calls it the Reality Game. They - the UFOnauts or Gods - are playing a game with us, in which our concept of reality is being gradually changed over the centuries. In this way, every theory we form about them eventually is refuted by later data and our mental boldness perforce must increase as we invent progressively more far-out theories. In this meta-model, if the Gods are not only subtle but also crooked, it is in the teasing fashion of a Zen riddle or a Sufi joke. We are being provoked into higher consciousness, not just led around by the nose in a complicated hoax. It all reminds one of the Holy Guardian Angel, the first Higher Intelligence encountered by the practitioner of Aleister Crowley’s sex-magick. Crowley explained exactly what the Holy Guardian Angel is, three times. In Magick in Theory and Practice, he says it is a figure of speech deliberately used because the theory implied is so absurd nobody will take it literally. To student James Bennett, in 1921, Crowley explained that the HGA is really your own unconscious Will liberated from Freudian repression. And to student Jane Wolf in 1943, Crowley stated, just as explicitly, that the HGA is not our unconscious or our Higher Self or any part of us but a separate entity of superhuman intelligence. Was Crowley subtle, or simply crooked, in some or all of those cases? My own encounter with Higher Intelligence was triggered by a Crowley ritual to invoke the HGA while on LSD. The ritual was a metaprogram, in Dr. John Lilly’s terminology, and I was treating the acid, according to Lilly’s theory, as a metaprogramming substance. The result was a seeming contact with certain entities from the double-star Sirius, who thereafter led me to find evidence (sum-
- page 7
marized in my article “Starseed Signals,” Gnostica, August 1975) that they had previously communicated with Crowley, Gurdjieff and Giordano Bruno, among others. Then I met Dr. Vallee and decided to try the hypothesis that the entities were, or could also manifest as, the elves of witchcraft and folklore. I invoked them at a meeting of a coven of Bay Area witches, and they came to me, as elves, and took me through a typical time-warp. The time-warp inspired me to try a hypothesis or model suggested by physicist-parapsychologist Saul Paul Sirag, in which the entities are time-traveling physicists from the future doing research back here in the past. More time-warps followed and the experience evolved from occult fantasy into science-fiction. Brad Steiger reports my experience, accurately and without sensationalism, in Gods of Aquarius. I quite believe that his other accounts are equally accurate, according to the best models available in neurological storage to the startled participants. As Dr. John Lilly says, “In the province of the mind, what is believed true is true or becomes true within limits determined by experience and experiment. These limits are belief to be transcended. In the province of the mind there are no limits.” Whatever the UFO’s - “really are” (I VOTE: All of the above) their function is quite clear. They are here to make us understand what Lilly means, to take us up one step in the Reality Game. And if they are (among other things) genetic signals from Jung’s collective unconscious, their meaning is unmistakable. They are telling us to look beyond earth, to the stars, to a galactic perspective. This signal has been picked up by many who are not contactees in the literal sense; e.g., Carl Sagan, bustling around the scientific community, trying to get backing for his Cyclops prokont

‘ ‘Flying saucers are real ! ’ ’ , according to Nuclear PhysicistLecturer, Stanton T. Friedman. Friedman comes to the UW campus on February 1, to give a talk on his favorite subject, in Room 347 of the Optometry Lecture Hall. More than 18 years of study and investigation have convinced him that the Earth is being visited by intelligently-controlled vehicles from other parts of the universe. He received his BSc and MSc in Physics from the University of Chicago in 1955’and 1956. As a nuclear physicist, he spent 14 years -in industrial work in aircraft, rocketry, and powerplants for space and terrestrial applications, beginning with General

He has presented his talk all over North America, and was one of 12 scientists who contributed to the Scientific Symposium on UFO’s, sponsored by the U.S. Congress in 1968. He has appeared on many TV shows, including ‘ ‘Tomorrow’ ’, Steve Allen, and David Susskind. As well, he was a technical advisor for the movie, “The UFO Incident”, on NBC in October, 1975 and September 1976, and is featured in the movie, “Mysteries From Beyond Earth”. His talk is illustrated with about 40 slides of data and UFO’s from all over the world. Stanton is being brought to the campus by the Board of -Education, as part of their informal education series. The Board also advertised a Projectionist Training Workshop on January 26, from 7:OO - 9:00 p.m. for anyone who wishes to learn how to show films, and receive a certificate verifying it; an OPIRG panel session on mercury poisoning and environmental health standards; and a session in their Women’s Lecture Series (Women and the Law ), at 7: 30, on February 1. These last three events are being held in conjunction with the Kitchener Library, 85 Queen Street North. Anyone wishing further should contact the library, since they are being held there.

The Increase - ofs tuition
booklet
Who benfits? The take-off point in the debate on the existence of (or the increase in) tuition fees is the question of who benefits from higher education. The Ontario Economic Council, in a special report on education this year, puts it this way:
The basic problem is lack of money. Governments have declared these years a “period of restraint” and are cutting back their commitments to social services (education, health and welfare). Post-secondary institutions, faced with inadequate funding from the governments, are turning to their second largest source of revenue - tuition fees - to make up their deficits. The Economic Council of ~Canada predicted this trend as early as 1970. Some curtailment of the growth of public expenditure on higher education might be accomplished without any significant adverse effects on the quantity and quality of higher education by reversing the trend towards a declining proportion of expenditure covered by student fees. It is true that tuition as a proportion of total operating costs has declined in the past decade. Nationally, for instance, fees in 1975 accounted for only 9.8% of the total expenditures on postsecondary education. In 1966, they had accounted for 12.1% The justification that the government and college administrators use for the increases, then, is that the historical balance between the public and private share of the costs must be restored. Yet many question why this must be so. They argue that the “historical balance” may have been wrong in the first place and that governments should not only freeze increases but abolish tuition fees entirely and introduce a living stipend for students (a grant covering, all school related and living costs ) . The political decision to force an increase in tuition fees has aroused debate over the role of these fees, and their effect. Most of the arguments in favour of increasing fees coincide with the points in favour of any fee in the first place. The fundamental question, then, is whether or not there should be tuition fees. This paper outlines major arguments for and against tuition fees and their increase. It is hoped that the paper provides a helpful introduction to this subject for students who are becoming interested in the debate about fees, a. debate whose result will have significant impact on Canadian campuses.
It is probably not possible to determine, with any degree of precision, the proportion of the benefits of post-secondary instruction that are private as distinct from public - that accrue solely to the student as distinct from being employed by the community as a whole. Nevertheless, as discussed earlier, the Council is of the view that the level of private benefits generally increases as one moves up the instructional ladder - primary, secondary, post-secondary and, finally, graduate and professional. This implies that the proportion of instructional costs borne by the student should be higher at the higher levels. It is the Council’s view that the proportion of instructional costs now borne by post-secondary students is too low . . . . The financial benefits of postsecondary training to the individual are -usually identified in terms of “improved access to employment opportunities, greater likelihood of achieving positions of prestige and importance, and

increased income over one’s working life.” (Oliver Report, Manitoba, 1973) In other words, a student should pay some money as a form of individual investment (cost) for financial benefit expected after graduation. This argument tends to overemphasize the individual benefits from higher education. While it may have been true in -the past that college graduates received a higher life-long income, it is clear that, given the current state of the economy, the individual benefits of a higher education are by no means guaranteed. A 1971 Manpower survey reported a 28 per cent drop in demand for graduates with bachelor degrees. Does this reasoning mean that a general Bachelor of Arts graduate should have his/her tuition refunded, when the graduate finds that his/her education does not lead to a highpaying job? evitable. By removing the financial barriers, I.E., by abolishing tuition and providing for a living stipend, more working people will become involved in higher education. Equally important, both groups argue for a radical reform of the taxation system to lighten the tax burden on the working people and ensure the corporate sector pays its fair share.

The class argument Some people argue that since post-secondary education is primarily the preserve of the well off, and is supported by the taxes of working people, tuition fees must rise. In Alberta, the Worth Commission on Education Planning (1972 j argued against increasing the public share of the cost of higher education in this way: Shifting a major portion of the financial burden for higher education from students and their families to taxpayers in general provides a greater opportunity for equity. But, at the same time, taxpayers include many low-income earners ,who are less able to pay taxes than higher education students and their parents. The result is that the poor end up subsidizing the schooling of the rich. To compensate for this inequity, student fees in higher education should be raised. All research confirms that students from middle and upper income groups are over-represented in post-secondary institutions. For example, the Peitchinis Report (Council of Ministers of Education of Canada, 1971) found that “whereas one half of taxpayers had incomes of under $5,600 only one quarter of the families of university students were at that income level. ’ ’ It is also true that working people do pay a disproportionate amount of the taxes collected in the country. In Ontario in 197677, working people, through personal income taxes and retail sales tax will provide four times the amount corporations contributed to total provincial revenue. And from an earlier discussion, we saw how this corporate portion has been shrinking. Working people are largely frozen out of higher education, yet they pay a relatively higher portion of their income in taxes to finance it. One might then expect the labour movement to support an increase in tuition to limg$h$;er;he tax burden on its . Yet the Canadian Labour Congress supports the National Union of Students in demanding free tuition and a living stipend. 1 The ,two groups are united on this point because they do not see the present class make-up of universities and colleges as inTuition Fees are unimportant, or does money matter? Almost everyone is concerned with the under-representation of working people in post-secondary institutions, but many argue that this is the result of social environment, the family situation and the high school system, not high tuition fees. The Commission on Post-secondary Education in Ontario (1972) dismisses the proposal for abolishing fees on just these grounds: “ ‘free’ post-secondary education would not in itself solve the problem of accessibility; students from lower-income families would continue to be under-represented on post-secondary institutions.” Studies in Canada and the United States have documented the importance of the family and social environment in the decision on whether or not to attend college. It is also becoming increasingly clear that the high school system (through streaming and guidance councellors’ attitudes) prevents many students from ever completing a programme that qualifies them to attend a post-secondary institution. Those who argue in favour of the abolition of tuition fees do not deny the importance of the family and school environment as it affects accessibility. They argue, however, that tuition and foregone earnings are a significant finan_ _I,, I 1.. i+

cial barrier that must be eliminated : Whether the cost of a university education is seen directly as a barrier, or whether its influence is felt early in a child’s school career by determining the subjects and programmes he takes, the fact that university education is expensive must be part of the explanation for the fact that children from lower class levels do not have as high aspirations as students from higher class levels. (Porter, Porter, Blishen study) Abolition of tuition fees is also the most practical area where the government can act quickly, and fairly painlessly, to encourage accessibility. Reform of the high school system and an effort to change family attitudes is a much more long-term and complex matter. As foregone earnings are also a large component in the educational costs that a student faces, abolition of fees alone is not enough. A living stipend must also be provided to allow high school graduates to give up the immediate income from a job to attend college.

Personal income, meanwhile, increased at a more modest 325% from 33 billion to 74 billion. Despite this relatively fast growth in corporate income, the corporate share of public revenues during that period fell from 11.3% to 10.7%. Personal income tax, on the other hand, increased as a source of revenue from 16.2% of all revenue sources to 18.3%.

Tuition fees and a sense of responsibility There are-those who argue that people are more responsible if they have to pay for what they use. In other words, if tuition fees are high, prospective students will consider the matter seriously before deciding to go to college. Their financial commitment would be an indication of the value they place on getting an education. Abolition of tuition would just mean that more young people would “take a free ride” and fool around for a few years after high school - at the taxpayers expense. Undoubtedly there are a few who would waste their time and the taxpayers money at college, but those who favour abolition of fees feel some method, other than a financial barrier, should be used to screen such students. Commitment to higher education comes much more from the quality of education and the ability to participate actively in the educational democratization) process (i.e., than from the expenditure of money. Students are more likely to appreciate their education if the teaching is good and they feel they have a say in things. Lynn Williams, district director of the United Steelworkers of America, suggests an alternative - let a progressive income tax system take care of those graduates who do benefit financially from their education. In a Tuition to reduce enrollment Another argument of ten heard minority report in the Ontario in favour of increasing fees is that Economic Council paper cited it is a good way to reduce enrollabove, he wrote: “the acknowment.

somehow uncovered. Upon further examination of the entire structure, it was conjectured that the early visitors to the area may
have been truck worshippers.
“The Earth has definitely been visited early in its history by creatures from an extra-terrestrial source”, said UW Professor of Anthropology, Terrance Dactyl, following his discovery of an ancient habitation site on the North campus of the University of Waterloo. “This was more than just a site with a few pieces of pottery and the weapon points associated with the Shield Archaic type of civilization usually found in this region”, he said, “this site showed direct evidence that a former civilization was actually exposed to a technology far advanced to their possible development for that time. ” The discovery was made at the one-inch level of an old site formerly used as a local Lover’s Lane. Associated with it was the remains of what appeared to be a _
large beaver colonv and dam. The first evidence of any alien life-form, according to Dactyl, was a small piece of glazed metal sticking out of the light snow covering. I “I have no idea as to what might have uncovered the artifact,” said Dr. Dactyl, “perhaps it might have been something as simple as a dog trying to bury a bone. But whatever it was, I’m thankful we arrived on the scene before it was somehow destroyed”. Dactyl is assisted in his excavating by his very close associate, Miss Prudence Primrose, who works with him in his digs. “The association with the beaver colony seems to be very significant”, he said, “some of the discovered artifacts were actually inside the remains of the largest of the beaver lodges, which would seem to be some sort of central meeting place for the colony. “It would appear that this large lodge was some sort of work area, due to the presence of most of the artifacts within the one area. “One of the most startling finds was of what we today call a ‘minicalculator’, with very tiny print-
Dr. Dactyl and his assistant display some of the utensils found in the large dwelling. “As near as I can figure”, said Dactyl, “they appear to be some sort of gynecological tools. Perhaps,” he said, “they were practising some sort of birth control methods, but only succeeded in destroying tlieir culture by buggering themselves.”
Dr. Dactyl was unsure as to the exact purpose of this utensil, but he did propose that it played some p$rt in the preparation of food. Within the four slots in the top, he found what looked to be pieces of spruce, and the thought occurred that perhaps the visitors attempted to improve the diet of their beaver hosts through their advanced technology.

This artifact, with its as-yet undecipherable symbols, led Dr. Dactyl to th.eorize that the visitors may have practised some form of limited warfare, in order to ease the tension of the crowded quarters they were suffered to work in. “Due to the nature of their habitat”, he said, “they were probably able to leave the lodge only during the winter months, when the pond surface was hard enough to walk on. &Iy colleagues feel that I’m skating on thin ice with this idea, but, after all, I only put it forth as a possibility.” ed circuits. If the beavers of the colony were not influenced by a much-advanced race of beings, the most they could ever achieve technologically, due to their limited brain capacity, and their lack of finesse with detailed electronics, would have been the crystal radio.” Another highly-advanced device enabled the researchers, when used properly, to see through walls, by some unexplained process. It was composed of a square wooden substance, securely fastened at each of four corners, and the area inside this framework filled by a flat sheet of a strange clear material. The positive proof, for Dr. Dactyl, that the artifacts were not manufactured by the beavers in the colony was the discovery of a device with a long handle ending in a loop, which was crosshatched with a fibrous material. “This device is commonly used in the towns and villages of Italy and Sicily for straining spaghetti” he said, “and any biologist can tell you that beavers don’t eat pasta in any form.” He therefore concluded that the beavers must have been co-
-
habiting with another life form. “I can only conclude, therefore,” he said, “that the beavers must have been co-habiting with another life form.” The results of Dr. Dactyl’s work, and the conclusions he draws from it will hopefully be discussed with Stanton T. Friedman when he visits the campus next Tuesday. Dr. Friedman will come to the campus to talk about the proof of UFO’s, from evidence found elsewhere in the world. Dr. Dactyl’s work was financed by a special Science Council of Canada Grant, which finally reached him in late December. “I was lucky to find the artifacts so quickly”, said Dactyl, “be: cause I have no idea as to how long the $53 would have lasted at the present costs of rent in North Waterloo. ”

This apparatus was a mystery to Dr. Dactyl, as regards to its use. He did discover, however, that his putting it on his head had an immediate strange effect upon his normally-staid assistant, Miss Primrose. He could think of no practical use for the utensil, but, as he told us some time later, “I can see where it might occasionally come in handy.”
The writer of this article wishes it to be known that he is both an amateur archaeologist and a firm believer in the existence of visitors from other areas of the universe, and does not intend to offend people of either leaning.

Come
to dinner
The FASS chefs have been busy cooking up \some more mayhem for this year. This year’s show toasts that popular television show, Star Trek. -But, being unsatisfied with ju-st one taste, the cooks have also stirred in two parts of Lord of the Rings, one part of The Wizard of Oz, and a dash of the Gong Show for good measure. The delicious concoction is best when corn bred, and garnished with hot sassiness of 25 popular songs profusely cut to shreds and allowed to simmer. The recipe for laughter has been rising for three weeks, and is now waiting for the rest of the campus to ketch up, to say the yeast. The dish will be served, with the help of 40 would-be actors, starting next Wednesday night, in the Theatre of the Arts, at 8:00 p.m. Dinner is also served at the sanie

There has been widespread enthusiasm for a drive to “mundialize” the Kitchener-Waterloo community, according to a committee of citizens formed to undertake the project. The “Ad Hoc Committee to Mundialize Kitchener and Waterloo” has been active over the past three months. It is chaired by Dr. Peter Silveston, a chemical engineer, and it includes a number of persons associated with the business community, labor, the clergy and the universities. Both Kitchener and Waterloo are represented. Kitchener and Waterloo city councils have approved the corn; mittee’s objectives in principle. The committee has also received a number of letters of support from individuals and community organizations. The mundialization concept involves official recognition by a city that it is a member of the world community, as well as the Canadian or Ontario communities. Typical mundialization activities include a declaration of support for the United Natior,s, flyirig the UN flag at city hall along with the other flags, and fund raising for the UN general fund. The most dramatic part of mundialization involves “twinning” with a city or cities in some other part of the world . . . often in a developing country. This is done by official proclamation and often involves a continuing program of information or crafts exchanges, or exchange visits between the communities involved. “The committee’s hope is that we will shortly have enough sup-
port to be able to approach both city councils with a request for a by-law resolution,” says Dr. Silveston. “We hope that we will have many more endorsements and expressions of support from the community. We are embarking on a program seeking this support, at the moment, and will welcome any assistance. ” Dr. Silveston points out mundialization has taken place in many other Canadian cities. Toronto is mundialized with Amsterdam, Hamilton with Fukayama (Japan), St. Catharines with Port of Spain (Trinidad ), Brantford with a city- in Yugoslavia, for example. A luncheon meeting, open to the public, will be held Tuesday, Jan. 11, at the Adult Recreation Centre in Waterloo, beginning at 12: 00 noon. Speakers’will include Mrs. Jackie Taylor, executive secretary to the mayor of St. Catharines, and Dr. Alan Newcombe of the Peace Research Institute, Burlingtoti. They will describe their experiences with the successful mundialization programs in their cities (St. Catharines and Hamilton). Those. interested in attending are invited to telephone Mrs. Veva Reilly, 884-4495, for information and reservations. “Hopefully, there will be widespread participation in making the decision as to which city or cities the K-W community wishes to twin with;” says Dr. Silveston. “We expect there will be support for a program to ensure the relationship between this community and its twin or twins will be on-eoing. ”
Geotechnical program The University of Waterloo will offer a new earth sciences program next September. It was approved at the Dec. 20 meeting of the UW senate. The new program will be called the “geotechnical option.” It will be on the co-operative system which sees students alternating between campus and related work terms in industry or in government service, every four months. They take longer to complete their programs, but accumulate 24 months of what might be con“apprenticeship’ ’ or sidered experience in the “internship” process. Students in the geotechni‘cal option will take fewer science and mathematics, and more engineering courses than those in regular earth sciences program. “It’s for the student who is particularly interested in applied topics,” says Dr. John Greenhouse, an earth sciences faculty member who has been developing the new geotechnical option. (UW already has a co-op geology option offered by the earth sciences department. ) Dr. Greenhouse notes the geotechnical option is not intended as an out-and-out engineering program. The department is not overly concerned as to whether graduates might qualify for professional accreditation through such a body as the Association of Professional Engineers of OnAt the same time, the tario.
criteria prescribed by the Canadian Council of Professional Engineers for a geological engineering program have been “kept in mind” by those responsible for developing the new geotechnical option. “The main reason for setting up the new program is that there is a need for graduates to work in the engineering-oriented, geotechnical aspects of earth sciences,” he says. “To date UW students have had limited interaction with engineering, though they have had ample opportunity to specialize in chemistry, physics, biology or mathematics.” Earth sciences is a hybrid discipline. Its roots are in classical geology, but there have been grafts from chemistry (geochemistry ) , physics (geophysics ) , biology (paleontology ) , mathematics (mathematical geology) and civil engineering (engineering geology). The range of questions dealt with by the earth sciences has been very broad . . . from the origin of the solar system to how best to develop an hnderground water supply * Dr. Greenhouse says that “looking ahead, we would like to see a geological engineering program within UW’s Faculty of Engineering. ” He notes that the geotechgeneticist, and Profes- Tickets are available only at the Federation office. nical option will involve the intro- Uavid Suziki, world-renowned duction of no new faculty, courses sor of ZoologY at tfie University of British Columbia, Under-grad students will be charged $1.00, with others will be speaking in Arts Lecture Hall, Rogm 116, on paying $2.~. or equipment.

CBC If you are a Canadian harpsichordist between the ages of 15 and 30, dust off the keys and take note. CBC Radio is expanding its yearly search for young Canadian musical talent, with larger than ever money prizes, including an $8,000 grand prize, and a new category, this year for harpsichordists. Restructured under the title CBC Talent Competition, the event offers a total of $22,500 for Canada’s finest young concert artists in five different classes. To be eligible, contestants must be Canadian or landed immigrants, born between April 15, 1947 and April 15, 1962. Details are outlined in a bro-

The new competition includes the four classes of its forerunner, the CBC Talent Festival - piano, strings, voice and winds, and in addition a new fifth category, devoted in 1977-78 to harpsichords. In the future, the CBC plans to feature the harp and classical guitar. “The CBC has added this fifth category,” says Robert Sunter, Head of CBC Radio Music, “in recognition of the fact there are many concert artists now in Canada who are making a performing
& Moxy
A great concert
If the burning of whole matchbooks to induce encores is any indication of a good concert, Styx fared well in its Kitchener Auditorium annearance. Sundav night. The row in front of us ignited several such books. Moxy started things off with its ultra-heavy metal sound. The acoustics of the establishment did not favour either band, but Moxy’s music seemed to end up as a mish-mash. Perhaps the nature of the band itself was to blame for that. The band’s objective is foremost; sound, coupled with adolescent angles. Something is lost in the trade-off between volume and effectiveness. Two of the songs rang vaguely familiar, having had some play on A.M. An encore, lifted from Zeppelin, was complimentary to the band’s hard-rocking orientation. . At intermission, the fact that the audience was very young was impressed upon this writer. The corridors were amassed with youngsters revelling in a newfound coolness, derived from the wearing of mascara and other “neat” stuff. 1x

Styx was a pleasant surprise. Going into the concert, I had been apprehensive of the ‘progressive’ (or ‘never-never’) label that was suggested of the Chicago-based band. The music performed had such influences, but they were integrated into a well-crafted version of basic rock. The popular songs were sung, ranging from; “Lady”, released a few years ago, to “Mademoiselle”, the current one. The band’s stage presence was enhanced by the well-timed and co-ordinated movements of the guitarists. The short guitarist from Alabama, whose name I failed to grasp, was a study in this grace and timing: his striding around the stage, up platforms, etcetera, illuminates the sound and drove it home. And the sound had its origins in a well of talent, spotlighted by various guitar (one acoustic ) , piano, and drum solos. Although .one may still grapple with the question of whether or not to actually “buy” a Styx effort on record, the investment in a night out with these artists is a pretty sure bet. - jean marcon

career other than in singing or playing piano, strings or woodwinds. Until now, for these artists there has been no outlet for competition in their fields in this country.” To add to the sense of competition, the new rules call for all semi-finalists, usually numbering about 25, to perform with orchestra, -in addition to their solo performances, all of which will be broadcast nationally on CBC Radio. For the 1977-78 finals, two musicians in each class will be brought to Ottawa in early June
1978 when they will perform with conductor Mario Bernardi and the National Arts Centre Orchestra. For the first time, the judging panel for each category will include an internationally recognized adjudicator who will join the panel of leading Canadian musicians and teachers. As well, the competition is heightened by an overall grand prize of $5,000 for the performer with the most potential for a solo career. Winners in each class are awarded $2,500, with all finalists receiving $500. The grand prizewinner, therefore, receives a total
The Faculty of Environmental Studies (FES) held its first meeting since September last Tuesday evening. The six-item agenda was disposed of in one-and-a-half hours, and, as has become customary, the Council made no decisions affecting the future of the Faculty. The Associate Deans for Undergraduate and Graduate Affairs gave reports of their respective activities during the previous term. Student , representative Mike Kubasiewicz then brought up the issue of possible restructuring of the Council and its relationship to other FES governing bodies. He informed the Council that the Student Society (ESS) was concemed that the student input on y----7
FES Council be retained in any bodies that might succeed it, and that the ESS wished to participate actively in any restructuring process.

This January has seen the introduction of a weekly feature Pub/ dance in the South Campus Hall Festival Room. Experience has shown that students are beginning to rea’lize the regular existence of this event and are attending ‘in increasinglygreater numbers., Mike McKenna, of Mainline fame, started off, the series. Probably due to lack’ of awareness in the first week of classes, only 220 people were in attendance. The following week, Jackson Hawke entertained a group of 380 eager dancers and listeners alike. This group is well on their way up the ladder, with four Juno Award nominations to their creditthis year!

New program in accounting Next fall the University‘ of Waterloo’s economics department will launch a new program to educate students for certification by the Society of Industrial Accountantsof Ontario as “registered industrial accountants.” The RIA program for economics was approved by the UW senate at its Dec. 20 meeting. Waterloo already has an RIA program offered by_ its Faculty of Mathematics ; math students concentrate in areas such as com_ puter science, optimization, and statistics. The economics students will focus on economics subjects, -with enough accounting-related subjects to equip them to underI take their RIA exams by the time . they have finished their university programs. Since the program is on the “cooperative” system they will alternate between campus and accountancy-related jobs in industry every four or government, ’ months. In this way they will have completed most of the required apprenticeship experience by the time thev graduate. .“They will, of course, be a little slower goingthrough university almost five years instead of the ‘usual four a student takes to complete an hono@ degree, ” says Prof. Grant Russell, RIA, a member .of UW’s economics departthey will have ment. “However completed the C level internship experience the Society requires, plus the B level and a good portion of the A level. Furthermore, they will be expected to complete a couple of the Society’s courses while they are on their work terms. ”
It should be noted that the Society sets its exams independently of the university, though the UW courses will ticover most of what students need to know to pass them. “An economics student enrolled in the RIA option will have% the full range of economics subjects available to him,” comments Prof. Russell. “He might choose to focus on econometrics, or forecasting, or current economics problems, or whatever. In other words, he or she will not only acquire the RIA designation, they will be (highly skilled in the economics area as well.” Most of the accounting subjects will be taught by the “accounting group” within the department of economics. RIA’s, Prof. Russell notes, fill many roles within the business. community. They are not public auditors, however. The chief distinction between an RIA and a chartered accountant is that the former normally expects to find his career within an organization . . . to grow with the company, in * many cases. The stress. is on the generation of accounting information that particularly relates to the needs of management. Subjects in the RIA program include : financial accounting, managerial accounting, finance, organizational behavior, quantitative methods, microeconomics, macroeconomics taxation and commercial law. “There is great stress on financial reporting,” says Prof. Russell. “We also get into cost-benefit analysis, particularly in terms of investment decisions. ”

In the recent competition, how ever, Western and Waterloo wer more successful, having defeate such notable USA teams as Pen State, Pitt, Maryland and Cornel Western was defeated in the f nals by a very strong Rutgerz New Jersey team which include several national - caliber volley ball players. Waterloo coach We Sime was very pleased with th Warriors’ third place finish.

University of Waterloo Volleyball team is struggling to hold onto second place in the eastern section of the OUAA. The Warriors played a four-game match with the University of Western Ontario Mustangs last Thursday evening, before a large crowd in the PAC. Seymour Hadwen, the outstanding volleyball and basketball reported to the game player, with a sprained knee and could not participate in the match. The Warriors came out fired up for the first game and took an early lead. The score was 10-6 in favour of Waterloo before the Mustangs put on a surge tying the game at 11-11. Strong spiking and consistent defence by the Mustangs afforded them a 15-13 win. The second and third games were also won by Western, 15-11 and 15-7. The Warriors, however, were determined to avoid a shut-out. They came back strong in the fourth game winning it 15-9 be-

hind the strong serving, spiking and blocking of Tom Jarv, Kevin Munhall and Dave Monteith. Waterloo still holds second place behind Western based on previous wins against McMaster, Brock and Guelph. The most critical match of the season is to be played this Friday evening at McMaster where Waterloo squares off against McMaster and Brock for a threegame match with each team. If Waterloo can win the majority of those six games, they will have a good chance to be the number two tc am representing the eastern section in the OUAA finals February 11 and 12 in Sudbury. Waterloo plays host to the CIAU championships on February 23 and 24.

OUAA championships to be held Feb. 11-12. Currently, Western has a strong hold on first place and Waterloo is in fierce competition with McMaster for second place. The Warriors have high hopes for success based upon the performance and experience of several outstanding players. In the “setting” position, the Warriors have Dave Monteith and Kevin Munhall, both four& year veterans. At 6’3”, Munhill is also an excellent center blocker giving the team additional height and strength at the net. Monteith, in addition to blocking well, has an excellent serve which has proved to be a powerful scoring threat in the past. In the “strong side” spiking position, the Warriors have Tom Jarv and Seymour Hadwen. Jarv is the captain of the team, and is an excellent leader who often carries the team through the rough spots with consistent serving, receiving, spiking and blocking. Hadwen is the real bonus for the Warrior team which has to share his services with the basketball team. Hadwen is a national caliber Volleyball player who has competed internationally for the Canadian Junior Team. His tremendous jumping ability and agility make him an ominous threat to all of Waterloo’s-oppon\ ents.

HAVE IN COMMON?
They believe that Jesus Christ is alive and well, and living in our universe, giving meaning and purpose to their lives. Waterloo Christian Fellowship has a supper meeting every Thursday, from 4:306: 30 p.m., to discuss the claims of Christ in today’s world. The topic for this week’s dinner is “Mission Impossible? - The Mission of Jesus as a Means of Discovering Our Own.” The place is Humanities Hall, Room 161 (Grad Lounge). Everyone is welcome. There is no compulsory charge, although a contribution would be welcomed, if you can afford it.
hockey goalies are born, not made ! Still, there is interest in studying the degree to which physical activity can alter such things as the fibre area, capillary - to - fibre ratios, enzyme and substrate levels. They are also interested in adaptations to the heart. “It is known that regular exercise enlarges the heart,” says Dr. Green. “The typical marathon runner, for example, has a larger heart. Now this is a healthy type of enlargement. An enlarged heart can also be a symptom of high blood pressure, but that’s quite a different situation.” He is hopeful ,his work with hockey teams and players will provide a good deal of useful information. He notes that the players on the above teams represent the elite athlete who is heavily involved with the sport for seven or eight months a year. Broadly speaking, -the UW researchers are interested in how muscles are specialized for certain tasks and the degree to which they can adapt to different environmental influences. The application of this knowledge will lead to better training safer participation, methods, more effective participation, maximization of health benefits and a better understanding of the relationship between fatigue and certain kinds of injuries.
Warriors tied for second Waterloo’s basketball Warriors split a pair of games this week to keep their league record at 4-2. Waterloo lost 87-72 in Guelph on Sunday night against a surprisingly strong Guelph squad. Led by Bob McKinnon and Henry Vandenberg (27&24) and backed up by strong defence all the way Guelph took an early lead and kept it for the game, coming off the floor with an outstanding 59% scoring average by the team. Waterloo, led by Seymour Hadwin and Lou Nelson with 17 and 13 points attempted several times to make a comeback only to be met and rebuffed by the Gryphons. The Warriors looked confused and scrambly a lot of the time, obviously rattled by the noisy Guelph fans not to mention the opening attack by the Gryphons. -It was a wide open, to@h hitting game that the referees refused to check, and the Warriors were just not ready for it. Back on home ground Wednesday night the Warriors attempted to make up for their poor showing on Sunday by blasting t he Brock Badgers 104-65. Good teamwork, aggressive rebounding and some fine shooting by all players was simply too much for the smaller, Brock team. In truth, it was-a quiet game. It was clear from the early play that ‘Waterloo couldn’t lose and the fans, although they saw some good basketball moments, were hardly excited. Four Warriors were in double figures. Seymour Hadwin had his best scoring game in a while with 24 points, Mike Visser had 20, Lou Nelson, perhaps the most consistent Warrior over the last games had 16, and Bob Yuhasz shot 12. Wednesday’s win puts the team at 4-2 for eight points, which ties them with Windsor at 4-l. Next game, Saturday night at the PAC against Windsor is an important league game and always an exciting one. ’ Wednesday, Feb. 2 is the Mike Moser Memorial “Game against CIAU champions Manitoba. Perhaps the highlight of the year this game can be nothing but great.

Athletic Clubs
Sailing, Table Tenis, Rugby,
‘Fencing
Athletic Clubs are again featured in this week’s report. Remember that these clubs are still open for membership and welcome anyone who is interested in joining. The Sailing Club obviously can’t do much sailing in the winter, however, they do have a series of lectures going on every Tuesday night. The course is in B2350 on Tuesdays and is taught by Nick Kowen, an Engineering prof who is president of the Canadian 505 Association. It’s a racing course and participants should know something about sailing to get anything out of it. Slide shows, movies and guest speakers highlight the lectures that cover racing rules, tactics, etc. During the Spring and Fall Terms, the club has 5 Sunflowers that sail around Columbia Lake. The club offers a full instruction program for all levels of sailing. They hold regattas and pubs throughout the term. Entry fees are $5.OO/spring term and $2.00/ fall term. The Club is hoping to expand their program, they hope to get more boats and possibly get together with the Conestoga Sailing Club who have a more popular boat, the Albacore. The Club has an arrangement with the Oakville Yacht Squad, the club acts as a go between, making arrangements enabling members to sail or crew that club’s bigger boats. For more information contact Chris Dufault at 885-6073. The Table Tennis Club has about 35 members that play in the Blue Activities Area throughout . the week. Every Friday,-they hold a group round robin tournament, otherwise the time they have is generally open time. These times are Tuesday and Thursdays 7:0010:00 p.m. Wednesday 5:00-7:OO p.m. and Sunday 2:00-5:OOp.m. In March the club has their annual Intramural tournament for the CSA Award (Chinese Students Association). You don’t need to be a member to join this tournament that has A & B levels for both men and women. It is a double elimination singles tournament. Since the OUAA dropped table tennis from their program, the club has gotten together with a number of other Ontario Universities to meet on February 20 for a Round Robin Tournament. The day before 20 members will be in Sarnia for the Blue Water Open. Members pay $3.00 to join of which 504 goes to the OTTA. Contact Gaeten Massie for more information. The Fencing Club has instruction and competition in foil, epee and
r I
etc 888 sabre. They meet on Monday and Wednesdays from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. in the Red Activities Area. No previous experience is necessary to join. The Club is part of the intercollegiate team that travels around to take part in university tournaments. Finally the Rugby Club is a fun loving bench that organizes a number of activities for their members. They have a floor hockey and basketball team playing competitively and participation in pub facilities. Their awards banquet is Friday, January 28 at the Faculty Club. There will be dinner and dancing, speakers and awards. The probability of having a few drinks is very high. The big event for the Club comes during reading week when they travel to New Orleans for the Mardi Gras festivities. They’ll be competing in a tournament there also! More information about the Rugby Club can be had by contacting Mike Hazel1 at 884-7343. Men’s Competitive Hockey With the schedule into its third contenders are week, strong emerging in both leagues. In league A, St. Jeromes and Optometry have been impressive in their opening matches. In League B, East A, VI East, VI South, Co-op and Conrad Grebel all have 2-O win-loss records. There are still lots of games remaining as well as playoffs, so we can count on a few surprising upsets that could make the title races interesting. Men’s Competitive Basketball The Men’s Competitive Intramural Basketball league got off to its usual good start last Sunday. A few complications arose over forfeited game and ineligible player, but these have been straightened out for the best. Early stacking shows that the teams to beat in A league this term are the Summer Rats and The Waterloo Wizards. B league have 43 teams and to choose an early leader would be difficult, but the Basketballers and Renison both look good. Officiating has been of the usual quality, from near flawless to almost non-existent. Overall, however, the refereeing is of a quality that reflects that of the game. A well played game usually accompanies good officiating. We see a small number of players constantly harassing the officials and this eventually detracts from the game. . It was difficult to choose a game of the week. There were lots of close ones. Oddballs tied the Ball 1

Faye Blackwood continued her winning ways last weekend, when she ran for two gold placings, as part of the York University Track and Field Invitational, held at the Canadian National Exhibition’s Industrial Building. She defeated an Olympic Team member in the 50-metre sprint, with her 6.3 second clocking. Margaret Stride, nee McGowan, a 4xlOOm relay team member at Montreal, finished second with her 6.6 seconds time. Blackwood picked up the second half of her double as a member of the 4x2OOm relay team, along with Sandra Ford, Pat Sparling, and Marg Lesperance. Sparling also managed an in___
dividual bronze in the long jump, jumping 4.79m behind McMaster’s Sue Summers’ 5.18m leap. The 800m event provided two bronze placings for UW athletes; Rena Klevering earned her’s with a time of 2: 23.5; and Al Baigent ran 1: 59.6 for his. teammates Baigent joined Doug Downing, Howie Saunders, and Don McQueen to capture the silver in the 4x6OOm relay. A clearance of 1.95m was only good enough for fourth for John Bosgoode. Dan Gutoskie from McMaster set a meet record in the event, with his 2.10m flight. The next meet for the tracksters will be the Western Open, being held in London, Ontario, tomorrow. -r.b. burton
