Students picket Queen’s P Last Thursday’s informa-

tional picket at Queens Park went off successfully; ac- cording to the Ontario Fed- eration of Students (OFS). About 450 students at- tended the picket, includ- ing about 20 from Waterloo.

The picket was called by OFS to protest cutbacks in education, and to state their opposition to “underfund- ing and fee increases”, be- fore the provincial govern- ment decides on these is- sues.

About 15 of the 35 people who signed up for the picket didn’t show up. Among those who did represent this campus were the Federation president Rick Smit and vice-president, Mark McGuire, the chairman of the Board of External Rela- tions, a contingent from the Anti-Imperialist Alliance, some anarchists, and an as- sortment of other students.

Smit told Imprint he was disappointed to see Water- loo represented by signs

At last

reading “Make the Rich Pay! ” and “I dropped out and I’m glad I did.”

The Waterloo bus joined the circle of picketers on ar- rival in Toronto. At 1:30, the march through downtown Toronto began.

The demonstrators waved signs, sang songs, and chanted slogans such as “Cut Bill, not Back” and “freeze tuition now.”

The picket was well or- ganized and there were no reports of violence.

OFS informational officer Alan Golombek told Im- print that the event went off as planned. “We would have liked to have seen more people out, but we met our target,” he said.

He said he was pleased to know that there are a number of “activists” work- ing on cutbacks-at univer- sities across the province.

What’s the next step? Ac- cording to Golombek, the students should align them- selves with the faculty, staff and other groups affected by cuts in post-secondary n 1.

The com&ssion recom- mended that the Chevron incorporate as soon as pos- sible.

The Chevron should in- corporate as soon as possi- ble, but the federation should collect their fee, Bedford said. He said that the federation should col- lect their fee because of UW president Burt Matthew’s “history.” .

The commission wants the Chevron to form an in- ternal editorial board, and to change their policies concerning letters and editorial responses to let- ters.

Bedford said responses should be infrequent, and contain only responses to questions or corrections, not a “forum for ideologies.”

The commission was first called for in June and the report is more than a month late. Bedford commented on this, saying “actually, it’s two years late.”

Ciaran O’Donnell

Commission chairperson Bryan Bedford of the Guelph Ontarian had the report ratified by the other two commissioners Wed- nesday. He spoke to Imprint in a telephone interview Wednesday night.

Bedford said the commis- sion was recommending to CUP a motion of censure against the federation, be- cause it had exerted finan- cial pressures against the paper.

The commission will also recommend condemnation of “certain members of The Chevron staff,” at the CUP plenary this December.

Bedford said that al- - though the Chevron had

abided by the letter of the statement of principles, it had not respected the spirit.

He said the paper “never actively discouraged in-

, timidation”, within the staff. The federation violated

both the letter and the spirit, however. Bedford said that it violated the principles by not consulting the Chevron

tion only advertise in one student newspaper, the Chevron. It said that no fed- eration board chairperson or director should be a!- lowed to contribute to any paper but the “official” one.

Concerning the suspen- sion of Chris Dufault’s vot- ing rights, the commission ruled that it did not violate the CUP principles. How- ever, Bedford described the action as a “mess,” techni- cally.

The commission recom: mended that notice of mo- tion be required before seri- ous disciplinary action against a staffer.

Bedford also questioned the suspension because Dufault was “technically” acting in accordance with the staff position for separa- tion.

The commission ruled that the federation’s action against the Chevron’s typesetter was beyond their powers. It recommended that the federation reim- burse the Chevron for any

However Smit warned that currently the whole plan is still very tentative. 1-

On November 30, the fu- ture of the Chevron as UW’s official student newspaper will be on the line. At that time, all full time graduate and undergraduate students

will be eligible to vote in a referendum worded as fol- lows:

“Should the Chevron, as constituted November 30, 1978 (be it incorporated or not incorporated), continue to be the official student newspaper of the University of Waterloo, retaining its current office space in the Campus Centre, and current student levy?

“The results of this re- ferendum are to become ef- fective on January 1, 1979.”

If the students vote “no”, Smit said he would send a letter asking the administra- tion not to collect the Chev- ron fee and the Chevron would be served with an eviction notice. He added that Federation by-law no. 2 concerning the Board of Publications and the status of the Chevron therin would have to be rewritten.

If the Chevron staff re- fuses to vacate the office, Smit said he will turn the matter over to the university administration. Matthews would not say what would happen then.

The Chevron stated in their November 17 issue that they will participate in the referendum, but will not recognize the off-campus vote. The staff want another vote in the winter 1979 term instead of a mail-out ballot

lated asking for rule of law for police activities, ex- posed over the past few years.

Strader spoke of the number of signatures (now over 10,000) as a reflection of the coming of age of Canadians out of a political naivete. He expressed a hope that this would result in a reversal of the pattern seen until now.

Much of his talk dealt with a catalogue of the ad- missions and allegations of illegal activities of the RCMP over the past three years. Although he expres- sed concern for the ac- tivities of the RCMP, he was more concerned that the government has consis- tently refused to take any ac- tion after the acts had been revealed.

Strader began his talk with a chronology of the known illegal activities, be- ginning three and one-half years ago when a bomb ex- ploded in front of an executive’s Montreal home.

An RCMP officer lost both of his hands in that event, because of the bomb. His motives were never estab- lished and it was passed off as an isolated event.

Since then, however, there have been a series of these so-called “isolated events” and each time the government has stated that the newly revealed event was the last such occurr- ence.

Strader pointed to the cases of the barn burning

Strader also attacked Trudeau’s concept of minis- terial ignorance. Until Trudeau, the minister was responsible, but Trudeau has stated that a minister cannot and sh,ould not know what is going on in his department.

Strader expressed fear that this could lead to a complete lack of civil con- trol of police forces, and also did not see how this is consistent with the author- ity of -the Solicitor-General to grant permits for wiretapping.

Throughout his talk, Strader commented on gov- ernment inaction against of- fences of the RCMP and was concerned that one set of laws is being set for the police and a different set for the public.

He pointe-d out that when this is generally recognized, other groups may also argue this and disregard the law.

In the discussion period, a member of the small audi- ence raised the issue of the

in the planning stages, gen- eral themes have been cho- sen.

Chinese politics described ’ Last Thursday, UW

played host to two lecturers from Nanking University in the People’s Republic of China. The speakers, pro- fessors Chen Ti-Chih and Chiang Ming-Pao, spoke on the state of historical re- search in China and on the movement towards Romanization of the Chinese characters.

Although superficially uninteresting, their talks gave a much needed back- ground to the present Chinese political situation, something which most North Americans know no- thing about.

Chen started by pointing out that in the past ten years, historical research in China has been difficult.

He complained that since the start of the Cultural Re- volution in the 1960’s, the study of history had been “disrupted greatly by the Gang of Four (the late Mao Tse-Tung’s wife and three other radicals) .”

of the late premier Chou-en Lai and to glorify them- selves.

He said they ignored Mao’s policy “let a hundred flowers bloom, let a hundred schools of thought contend”, thus discourag- ing new ideas from being brought forward.

Chen said that, instead of being discouraged, students are urged to enrol in uni- versities to do research in . fields like law, economics and religion.

He said that China will be developing an international perspective by sending thousands of students over- seas to study.

Chiang explained how and why the Chinese gov- ernment is simplifying the Han language (written Chinese).

The principal problem with the language now is that there are so many characters (at one point, there were over 42,000)) that obvious problems are found in learning to recognize and spell Chinese.

This also leads to prob- Terns in typesetting and computer programming.

The Chinese government took steps about a year ago to radically alter the lan- guage. These steps, al- though supported in prin- ciple, met with much pro-

test from the Chinese peo- ple, and they are currently being revised. \

In the discussion after the talks, both speakers opined that now that the “Gang” has been overthrown, a con- certed effort is underway to stabilize and “harmonize” the country politically.

On the whole, the speak- ers gave the impression that they were explaining policies rather than preach- ing them. Except for one de- termined effort to bring ideologies into open debate, political judgements were kept to placing China’s woes squarely on the shoul- ders of the “Gang of Four.”

John Malyon

Fed budget shaping up

A person in the audience challenged Chen on this point, saying that historical research had continued throughout the Cultural Re- volution.

Chen answered by saying that the Gang of Four had disrupted research by turn- ing historical questions into political ones. He cited the case of one historian who was attacked for question- ing the official line that the 1949 revolution was a class struggle, rather than a fight against certain exploitative landlords.

He said the “Gang” con- trolled periodicals such as the Journal of Historical Re- search and used them to undermine the leadership

The Federation of Stu- dents is revising its budget to meet unexpected ex- penses. However, a deficit can be avoided this year if overspending stops, vice- president Mark McGuire says.

The largest unplanned- for expense is about $18,000 in National Union of Stu- dents (NUS) and Ontario Federation of Students (OFS) fees. Former Treas- urer Jayne Pollock did not account for these in the budget.

The error occurred be- cause last year, NUS and OFS fees were not part of the Federation fee. This year, they are. $

The $18,000 can be reco- vered from the contingency fund to cover fee refunds. Only about seven percent of students refunded their fees, but a fifteen percent re- fund rate was planned for.

Ten thousand dollars was allocated for orientation, but orientation overspent by some $8,000, McGuire says. The money has already come from some of the other accounts.

Federation council has decided to provide back pay for Denise Donlon’s ten weeks of work as full-time entertainment/education programmer. She has been a full-time employee since November 1, and will be paid from the entertainment budget.

The back pay amounts to about $2,000 and covers the

.-period before Donlon was hired by council.

Council also hired a full- time co-ordinator for the Birth Control Centre for 3 months at $160/week. The centre normally relies on volunteer staff but this year, most of the regulars left school or graduated.

The co-ordinator was hired to train more volun- teers.

Only $2,000e was allo- cated to train more volun- teers.

Only $2,000 was allo- cated in the budget for re- ferenda, elections and the council’s speaker’s hon- orarium. McGuire says $3,000 is needed.

The two salaries and the extra money for referenda add up to about $5,000. At this Sunday’s council meet- ing, McGuire will outline, board by board, where the money will come from....

President Rick Smit spent $882 on books of matches bearing the Federation logo. The money came from his presidential special projects account and was spent last winter before the need for belt-tightening became ap- parent. .

A plot summarv is irn~joB~:-: sible, and a list of events and characters - the groom who has impregnated his sister-in-laqv; the groom’s Italian father who is sworn not to let any member of his family overseas visit the house; the bride’s mother who falls in love with her son-in-law’s uncle; the “communist” great-aunt of the groom who presents an avant-garde, nude portrait of the bride as a wedding present - would only con- fuse anyone who hadn’t seen the film.

To say merely that the movie studies only the few hours comprising a wed- ding and the subsequent re- ception, And that lots of zany things happen, is in- adequate.

“A Wedding”, like a Mahler symphony - though less successfully - tries to encompass the whole world. In the attempt Altman manages to be both exciting and, at times, an- noying.

The worst of it is that the film leaves one with an empty stomach: the sense that, although things were tied up in the end, there wasn’t much of a point to all this nonsense.

“Nashville” was a more coherent, more satisfying film than “A Wedding,” and used the same frenetic approach.

i overview A year ago at the Science and the Politics of the Environment Confer-.

ence in Toronto, Ursula Franklin, author of a Science Council of Canada repdrt on the conserver society, said “We really have a private sector, and a state sector and then we have everybody else.” What is the role of “everybody else” in scientific decision making and scientific issues?

TO illustrate her point Franklin used James Robbins’ theory of “risk triangle” to examine environmental health hazards. At the three corners of th* risk triangle are those who create risks, those who regulate risks and those who suffer from the risks. Generally privately owned industry causes environmental hazards; governments act in concert with industry to regulate hazards, and at the same time assist in the privatization of scientific knowledge; the public, who are excluded from ownership of industry and from the knowledge of science, suffer from the hazards.

Presently the three corner’s of the risk triangle are extremely far apart. Until the triangle can be contracted so that those who create risks or regulate risks will also feel the negative impact of those risks, scientifid application will be maintained in such a manner that the public will continue to suffer. In order for the public to assert its right to a clean physical environment and a healthy social environment, the public must first assert its right of access to the knowledge of science and business.

Science and The Public: A Symposium is an effort on the part of the Ontario Public Interest Research Group (OPIRG) and the Federation of Students to open discussion of scientific issues among non scientists and scientists from different disciplines. It is crucial that students about to enter the workforce in the pure sciences, social sciences, business and other disciplines grapple with questions of public access to scientific knowledge, public control of scientific decisions, and the limitations of science as we now know it.

This centre spread is meant to be your guide to the events taking place throughout next week. The guide can be pulled from the Imprint and carried with you for quick and easy reference. <

- monday The Limitations of Science and the Scientist:

Ross -Hume Hall We have always placed great faith in sci-

ence and technology to provide us with the means to fulfil1 our growing needs, and to solve the problems of society. Irorii‘cally this faith has caused us to stop questioning science itself, although science is based on inquiry.,Seldom do we consider the limita- tions of science and the scientist.

While scientific knowledge is multiply- ing at an ever increasing rate, often scien- tific advances race far ahead of apprecia- tion and understanding on the part of both the public and scientists. Frequently new technologies which are based on concepts not yet fully understood, are developed and implemented. The incidence of en- vironmentally caused cancer is too real a reminder of technology gone out of check.

We tend to expect scientists to solve sig- nificant problems that face the world today. Unfortunately technological and scientific approaches are usually insuffi- cient because these problems require a broader perspective encompassing economics and politics. This dependence on science based solutions has allowed energy to be focused on symptoms instead of causes.

One pertinent example of highly publi- cized scientific answers being shown to be insufficient, is the case of the “Green Re- volution”. In the 1950’s the Rockefeller

funded Green Revolution brought high yield agricultural technology to less de- veloped countries, touting it as the answer to world hunger. The technologies were energy intensive, not labour intensive and demanded high technical and chemical input beyond the means of most third world agriculturists. Although bringing about a short term increase in yields, the Green Revolution caused a loss in genetic diversity leading to environmentally unst- able situations. Further and perhaps most important, the Green Revolution has had no significant impact on levels of hunger and development in the countries the new/ technology was meant to help.

Dr. Hall will address himself to these issues drawing on his experience and ex- amples from world food hunger, nutrition, cancer, and food technology.

Ross Hume Hall is professor of Biochemistry at McMaster University and an internationally known nutritionist. He is consultant to the federal Environmental Advisory Council, the U.S. Senate Select Committee on Nutritibn and Human Needs, and the National Science Founda- tion Workshop on Alternative Policies for Food and Agriculture. He is author of: “Food for Nought: the decline in nutri- tion”.

Recombinant DNA: The Expert vs. the Publk Recombinant DNA is a revolutionary

technique that permits molecular biologists to isolate, splice, insert and analyze genes almost at will. The potential application of this technology i’s enorm- ous. In fact, the ability to manipulate genes may ultimately be used to modify the genotype of man. But Dr. Jack Pasternak of UW’s Biology department says that such mutation is the “stuff of science fiction” and unlikely given the limitations that re- search scientists face in matching genes.

Nonetheless, research into recombinant DNA is viewed as potentially dangerous. The greatest fear is that a toxic or cancer inducing virus would be produced and es- cape into the environment.

T,he Medical Research Council of Canada is trying to develop a code of safety for the DNA research. “As distinct from direct health hazards the potential ecological risks of generating novel recombinant DNA are difficult to assess. As a guiding principle . . . it would be prudent to con- sider that the artificial generation of any novel type of recombinant DNA that is not known to occur in nature does pose a po-

tential ecological threat.” (UW Gazette May 1977)

Initial concerns raised over the possible immediate hazards of recombinant DNA experiments have served to focus public attention on science and raised-the impor- tant qtiestion, “Should people who are to abide by research guidelines be allowed to draw them up?”

Supporters and opponents of recombin- ant DNA work seem to be agreed that gov- ernment regulation is necessary. The sug- porters view federal rules as an alternative to a mixture of local rules and supervision while their opponents hope to see the government totally ban such research.

Recombinant DNA is a new technology th’at has not been explored in Canada until this year. A Bio-Hazards Committee at U. of Waterloo is studying any research which is going on that wilq1 require lab modifica- tions to meet federal standards for biologi- cal dangers

Dr. Jack Pasternak is chairman of the Bio-Hazard Committee of the University of Waterloo, responsible for recombinant DNA safety. His current research is on molecular biology.

Nuclear Contamination: Does the Public Have a Sa$ c Port Hope residents and members of

Save our Environment from Atomic Pollu- tion (SEAP) will be presenting their story as victims of science and industrial profit motives. Secrecy and misrepresentation on the part of government and the nuclear power industry prevented Port Hope resi- dents from discovering the existence of long term radiation exposure during the past twenty years.

There are two main sources of contami- nation in Port Hope: the waste disposal sites where Eldorado deposited residues from radium and uranium processing; and the rubble, fill and materia’ls from the old radium plant that were reused in buildings throughout the town.

It was discovered in early 1975 that the 214 school children and teachers at St. Mary’s Separate School were exposed over a period of years to levels of radon gas twenty times the safe limit. One third df the town has been recorded as having above normal levels of radiation; some to a hazardous degree and all involving the un- suspecting public. There is still a wide

Computers touch on our lives daily. Each person is filed and catalogued, numbered and coded, processed and reprocessed vir- tually in every segment of our lives. Com- puters keep track of telephone calls made, personal electricity use, where we spend our money, how much of a person’s income is kept in a bank, where we fly to, marks in school and performance at work, where we live and even the state of-our health.

As pointed out by Eric Manning of the Computer Science Department at U of W, it is now feasible to electronically link machines belonging to various govern- ment agencies and private sector and to correlate data among these computers eas- ily and quickly. The widespread use of the Social Insurance Number as a common record identifier greatly facilitates the con- struction of computerized dossiers on all of us. Ultimately these dossiers could contain all of the information known to every gov- ernment or firm.

range of expert opinion on the hazard of radiation to human health. Safety levels are ultimately the result of a value judgement. It is now generally agreed that there is no “threshold” -no level so low that the pos- sibility of producing an adverse health ef- fect disappears. ’ SEAP members see a real immediate need for unbiased scientific work on the effect of long term low level radiation. SEAP’s interest lies in the people-whose lives have been altered and in the commun- ity that still reels under an avalanche of adverse publicity. Is this the price of nuc- lear power? Does the public have a right or a choice in what effects they may have to live with?

Pat Lawson, resident of Port Hope ant active member of Save our Environment from Atomic Pollution (SEAP) has made numerous presentatioiis to government5 on the Port Hope situation and she has ap- peared in front of the Porter Commissior on Electric Power Planning.

Doug Humphries, president of SEAF will also join the discussion.

PCB Dumping: The Case in Smithville Chemical Waste Management Ltd. is

using its industrial site in Smithville On- tario as a dumping station for a dangerous chemical. The company has the only li- cence in Canada to transfer and stockpile polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB’s) used as insulating oil in electrical transformers. In recent years PCBs have been linked to cancer, liver diseases, nervous disorders and birth defects. Residents of Smithville are deeply concerned that the chemical will contaminate their drinking water,

\;ause fire hazards, injure human health and affect the quality of their community.

Despite the possible dangers of PCB waste leakage, the Ministry of Environ- ment and the Niagara regional council have already approved the operation. Some Smithville town councillors told the Globe and Mail that they did not know that the plant involved hazardous material, and they’d been led to believe the company would operate a truck marshalling yard for electrical transformers.

On October 16,1978,bver 450 residents came out to hear several technical experts

“Control of our bodies” has been an im- potant slogan of the Women’s Movement for the past ten years. Only recently have the concerns expressed by this slogan been expanded to include an examination of the role of-the health care system in maintain- ing the state’s control over women’s repro- ductive capacity. The medical system di-

rectly controls access to sterilization, birth -control and abortion.

Historically many different interests . have converged to maintain control over

reproduction. People believing in eugenics, Malthusian theories of popula- tion growth, feminism, and sexual libera- iion have all been concerned with repro- ductive control. However, never have women, or the public in general, had control over the means of reproduction.

Even today sexism, population limita-

from the Chemical Waste Management company and representatives from the Ministry of Environment justify the estab- lishment of the waste depot for the chemi- cal, as it was the only facility in Canada that could handle PCBs. Following the meeting many dissatisfied residents formed SCRAM, Smithville Citizens for the Re- moval of Abhorrent Materials.

SCRAM is faced with two courses of ac- tion; to force a ‘witch hunt’ inquiry on the safety of the plant, or to educate themselves about the potential hazards and alterna- tives and then demand government action. It is up to SCRAM to push for information and action on the issue of potential con- tamination affecting their community. ’

Ross Hall, Liberal MPP for the riding has been investigating the issue since he first heard reports of the Smithville problem. He now sits on the Committee on Industrial Waste Disposal.

Susan Knoedler, president of Smithville Chamber of Commerce will join Mr. Hall in the session.

The Politics of Reproduction tion of particular classes and races, and professionalism which excludes the pub- lic, predominate in fertility control ser- vices. Feminists, Native People, immig- rants, welfare recipients, etc. must all fight to gain ‘community access to reproductive means and control. As well, economic and social deterents to having children we want when we want must be limited.

Kathleen McDonnell will link historical and present day trends, discuss the various actors in reproduction control and analyse the role of the state and the medical estab- lishment in setting the parameters of ac- cessibility to reproductive control.

Public Participation in the Nuclear Debate:

The public right to participate in science policy planning, in particular, nuclear de- velopment, has to date been limited to two basic forms, the electoral ballot and the re- cent appearance of the environmental im- pact assessment hearings. But is it enough to have only two formal methods for vital public input? Robert Paehlke and Ralph Torrie will discuss the relative merits of participation in commissions of inquiry, and the other avenues open to people con- cerned with nuclear development.

Both speakers in this session will be looking at the Porter Commission, an On- tario inquiry that took place from 1975 to fall 1978, examining the expansion of nuc-

lear facilities. The Royal Commission on Electric Power Planning involved not just a single project but the full range of long term plans of Ontario Hydro, Canada’s largest public utility and operator of the greater part of nuclear electricity generat- ing capacity in the country.

Despite the unique aspects of the Porter commission in encouraging public par- ticipation through travel to different parts of the province and grants to groups for re- search and presentation, there have been

The Porter Commission some distinct drawbacks to depending on public inquiries to present the ‘voice of the people’ on nuclear development. Robert Paehlke, from Alternatives will be present- ing his impressions on environmental and social impact assessment hearings. He sees them offering a potential for “reasonably intelligent recommendations to the ulti- mate decision makers.” In his viewpoint, a formal public inquiry such as the Porter Commission, could function well to bring people into the discussion of science con- cerns, but only if it generates considerable public interest.

Ralph Torrie, from the Ontario Coalition for Nuclear Responsibility will have a dif- ferent outlook to offer concerning the Por- ter Commission, as he was an active par- ticipant from an anti-nuclear group. The inquiry process presented a formal exer- cise that could too easily exclude the views of the majority of the population, and serve to educate few. Such inquiries and com- mission have been frustrating barriers to ef- fective public participation. Beyond the scope of inquiries, public involvement can take other forms such as entering the polit- ical arena with protests, briefs, letters and forums. Robert Paehlke is founder of Alternatives magazine and a contributing editor. He is presently a professor of political science at Trent U. and past coordinator of the Envi- ronment and Resource Studies Program. Ralph Torrie is an outspoken physicist ac- tive as consultant for the anti-nuclear movement in Canada, He is principal au- thor of Half Life, a brief submitted to Ontario’s Royal Commission on Electric Power Planning.

The Biases of Creation and Evolution Many people are perplexed by the

enigma of human origin. Are we the product of progressive naturalistc phenomena or the result of intelligent design? The past decade has witnessed a growing interest in whether evolution or creation is true. A corollary to this question is whether there is merit in consideration of both concepts as feasible.

Disagreement in thk controversy is partly a result of a misunderstanding of terms and concepts. As presented in scien- tific textbooks, evolution proposes the de- velopment of life forms on earth by natural

processes operating over billions of years. Creation proposes that various basic types of organisms originated by a special divine act. (excerpted from Liberty Sept. ‘78)

Dr. Paul Morrison recognizes that the evolution versus creation debate is a heated one, with dogmatists on both sides. In the afternoon workshop he will avoid taking issue with one side or another and will instead address the biases of both evolution and creation.

Dr. Morrison teaches in the biology de- partment at the University of Waterloo. He is a scientific editor and a Christian.

Community Health Clinics: Client Involvement Medicine is an application of science in

which the public has very little input or control. The knowledge, the skills, and the power of medicine lie in the hands of an ‘expert’ elite, with no mechanism .for the individual or community to direct their own health care.

An alternative to the traditional mode of medical care delivery is the community health care clinic, which by its structure allows the public consumer more say in the operation and direction of its health re- sources.

A clinic is able to achieve a grass roots integration into the community, being sen- sitive to ever changing health care needs. Working on this level it can effect a preven- tative orientation to health, emphasizing surveillance, maintenance and restoration

as well as diagnosis and treatment. It at- tempts a shift from individual cure to community care which encompasses more than just medicine, but health education, community organization, and develop- ment.

Dr. Michael Racklass will be speaking on the potential for community health centres to aid people in gaining control over their own health, in their personal self help care, and in prevention of health hazards in the community environment.

Mike Racklass is a staff doctor at South Rverdale Community Health Centre in To- ronto where he has worked for two years. He is chairman of the board of “Hassle Free Clinic” and chairman of the Metro Health Services Organizations Working Group.

Sociobiology: Science or Politics Since the publication of E.O. Wilson’s The Sociobiology Study Group, a collec-

book Sociobiology: The New Synthesis in tive of scientific academics, believes that 1975, a controversy has raged within the sociobiology has dangerous political scientific community about the extent to ramifications. Their 1976 letter in Science

which human social behaviour is geneti- cally determined. Wilson recently defined sociobiology as “the systematic study of the biological basis of all forms of social behaviour, including sexual and parental behaviour, in all kinds of organisms, in- cluding man. ”

Theories of natural selection state that organisms reproducing most efficiently will be represented-disproportionately in the following generation. Similarly, sociobiology postulates that the most re- productively efficient forms of social be- haviour should also come to predominate.

The implications of sociobiology in- clude many provocative suggestions about human social behaviour. One of the tenets of sociobiology, a theory of sexual selec- tion, explains sex based differences in pa- rental behaviour, in competition for mates, and in selection of mating partners. Another theory of sociobiology poses that altruistic or helping behaviour has arisen by evolution, that is to say, that it has a genetic basis.

The most vehement criticism to sociobilogy has come from other scientists.

stated:

. . * sociobiological ideas do not arise in a social vacuum but rather reflect the dominant interests and attitudes of the class to which their authors be- long. For centuries similar ideas, similarly unproven, have helped to preserve prevailing social conditions by lending an aura of manifest de- stiny to the particularities of a given time and place. Some opponents of sociobiology have

charged that the study of such topics as IQ. and race or of the biological basis for sexual divisions of labour, is, in and of itself, polit- ically irresponsible. Other scientists assert that selective limitation of scientific inves- tigation on religious, political or ideological grounds is inherently danger- ous to the existence of human rights.

This debate has not involved the lay pub- lic. Where does the demarcation between science and politics lie? Can one concern be isolated from the other? Can scientists alone accept or reject theories which could have major social impact?

Bill Cade will use examples of non human vertebrates and the invertebrates to introduce sociobiology from a historical and conceptual framework. He will also discuss human behaviour and natural selection in terms of sociobiology. Cade will be speaking from the viewpoint that Darwinian selection is, at the moment, the most promising and well defined model applicable to the investigation of human social systems. Professor Bill Cade, of the Department of Biological Sciences, Brock University, has been researching behavioural and popula- tion ecology. He is particularly concerned with-the analysis of animal behaviour

1 T he overwhelming bulk of all benefit and risk data, on which most regulatory decisions are based, comes

y’frorn the industries which are themselves being regu- lated. These data are either generated and interpreted by in-house scientific staff or by commercial laboratories and universities under contract to industry.

In-house’s@entific staff are not immune to conscious and subconcfous .pressures from research and develop- ment and marketing departments, anxious to hurry their product or process into commerce. Industrial contracts are usually awarded secretly to commercial laboratories and universities, without bids having first been solicited on the\open market, a practice hardly consistent with the ethos of competitive capitalism.

The contractee, eager for the award of future contracts, is also not immune to unspoken pressures and may pro- duce information or interpretations consistent with what are perceived as the interests of the contracting industry, even though this limited perception is more likely to reflect short-term, rather than long-term, in- terests and values.

Built into this process is a cadre of consultants, gener- ally from prestigious universities or research institutes, whose stamp of approval provides the data withan addi- tional mantle of authority. The identities of these consul- tants are often hidden not only from the public but also from their own universities or institutions. The indus- trial interests of these consultants are either not dis- closed to the agencies on whose advisory and expert committees they sit or if disclosed are usually main- tained in confidential files. Let’s look at a few case his- tories drawn from the field of occupational and en- vironmental cancer.

A 1969 review of seventeen industrially sponsored studies on the carcinogenicity Panel of the Mark Com- mission on Pesticides concluded that fourteen of these studies were so inherently defective as to preclude any possible determination of carcinogenicity.

From 1965 to 1970, Allied Chemical Company spent $500,000 on the carcinogenicity and toxicological test- ing of the cosmetic food additive Red Dye No. 40 which was undertaken by Hazelton Laboratories. Based on Hazelton’s conclusion that the additive was safe, Allied confidently submitted these data to FDA in 1970, and

Polluted ~ Data

The folowing article, excerpted from a longer one that originally appeared in “Science Magazine”, outlines some examples of grossly erroneous scientific studies. Not uncoincidentally, these studies were produced by industries who were required to prove the safety of products they wished to market. Epstein, professor of occupational and environmental medicine at the School of Public Health, University of Illinois Medical Centre, indicates that these are not isolated “Believe It Or Not” phenomena but a tendency serious enough that government agencies have been forced, on certain occa- sions, to re-test data presented to them.

Kennedy of Massachusetts, the Environmental Protec- tion Agency (EPA) reviewed other industry data on pes- ticide. Twenty-four pesticides were selected on the basis of their highest tolerances on common foods, and their extensive toxicological files, which had been previously submitted by a wide variety of manufacturers, were then independently re-evaluated by Melvin Reuber on behalf of EPA. In a report of April 9,1976, it was concluded that with the possible exception of one pesticide, all these data were so inadequate that it was not possible to con- clude whether the other pesticides are safe, and whether any carcinogenic or other hazard in involved in eating commoi7. foods with now legal residues.

These and other equally grave deficiencies in the EPA data base on pesticides were discussed in a 1976 con- gressional staff report: “EPA almost exclusively rules upon data submitted by pesticide companies, This data is the informational linchpin in the Agency’s regulatory program. Yet in spite of repeated warnings, beginning at least five years ago, EPA has failed to take corrective action designed to discover and supplement further data. ”

Even worse than these examples of improper or inept design was the fiasco of nitrilotriacetic acid. In 1970, Maonsanto and Proctor and Gamble were posed to launch a new type of detergent onto the market, based on nitrilotriacetic acid instead of phosphates. This would have resulted in the annual discharge of approximately five billion pounds of the new detergent into the surface waters and ultimately, the drinking waters of the U.S. The industries concerned had spent about ten years in- vestigating the toxicological and ecological effects of nitrilotriacetic acid, concluding that it was noncar- cinogenic and that it degraded in water into harmless constitutents.

In fact, the industries had not done a single test on the nature of the intermediary degradation products of nit- rilotriacetic acid, nor of the possible interaction of such products in water. The industry had also failed to ap- preciate that degradation was incomplete over a wide range of operating conditions with the resulting likeli- hood that drinking water could become contaminated with the detergent. These and other considerations led to the withdrawal of nitrilotriacetic acid from the mar- ket, with a loss of some $300 million to the industries concerned. The detergent builder was subsequently shown in studies sponsored by the National Cancer ‘In- stitute and the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences to produce cancer of the kidney and ureter in mice and rats.

Similar examples are endemic to the whole field of safety testing, whether of drugs, pesticides, food addi- tives, industrial chemicals and even motor cars.

:rE:;,“-i:;:,or app’y The Royal Winnipeg Bal-

let evoked a mostly re- strained, but occasionally enthusiastic response from a full house Tuesday.

The opening piece, enti- tled “Festival,” provided an engaging kaleidoscope of colour and movement, ac- companied by a vibrant musical score.

The orchestra, conducted by Kerry Duse and later Neal Kayan, was excellent and it is unfortunate that the high- light of the evening, “The Rite of Spring,” was per- formed to a scratchy record- ing. The other pieces be- ntifitted greatly from the live accompaniment.

“Festival” was followed by “Glinka pas de Trois,” choreographed by George Balanchine. This traditional l31let piece was generally somniferous, although amusing in parts.

The two ballerinas clearly outclassed their male coun- terpart. Throughout the per- formance, the male dancers were less fluid and supple than the ballerinas.

The first of the two major works, “Pas D’Action,” was a spoof of story ballets and melodrama. The beautiful Princess Naissa, danced by Sheri Cook, awaits the ‘re- volution demanded by her oppressed subjects.

She dances to distract four male foes, while her father organizes an upris- ing.

The satirical interpreta- tion of classical ballet movements evoked laugh- ter and appreciation from the audience.

The finale of the evening, “The Rite of Spring”, fea- tured most of the company in a dramatic and violent performance symbolizing the “unique acts to celebrate

the cosmic forces incarnate in man.”

The Royal Winnipeg Bal- let showed its originality with a mixture of ballet and both modern and primitive dance in this piece.

For reasons which will probably remain unknown, the stage backdrop was not used for “Rite,” thus pro- viding a panoramic view of various items of junk at the rear of the stage. Most dis- tracting and reprehensible.

Overall, the Royal Win- nipeg Ballet proved itself versatile and innovative. The principal talent of the company is in its ballerinas, most of the male dancers

VOTE YES Referendum not necessary

First of all, I would like to know whatever happened to the principle of determining the Chevron’s status on the basis of refundable fees. This is the option which UW students chose in a previous referendum and it is a sound democra- tic principle which allows students to express their dissatisfaction with the Federation, the Chevron, and the societies by withdrawing fi- nancial support from any or all of these organi- zations. In contrast to this, a decision by referen- dum carries with it no assurance that democracy will be served. According to Federation by-laws, only as few as ten percent of eligible vaters need cast their ballots for a referendum to be consi- dered binding.

It appears that, having failed to muster the minimum fifty percent Chevron fee refunds re- quired to rescind the paper’s official statis, cer- tain disgruntled individuals are once again try- ing to force their will on the student- body by means of this referendum. In doing so they are effectively ignoring a collective democratic de- cision made by students during the refund

’ period. The Engineering Society’s call for this referendum, together with such blatantly obvi- ous Federation and Imprint complicity in the action, thus constitutes a severe abuse of democ- racy at the LJniversity of Waterloo.

This vote also comes at a time when students are still awaiting presentation of a report from the latest CUP (Canadian University Press) Commission investigation into Federation- Chevron relations. The whole question of whether or not an informed decision will be

1 rendered by this exercise is further aggravated by the mail-out ballot for students in Co- Operative programmes. How can anyone who has not had access to the last twelve issues of the Chevron and Imprint, the Chevron Report to UW students, or the CUP Commission Report possi-

: bly make an informed decision on the issue? An educated consensus among students with

regard to this conflict is important becguse of the complexity of the issue. Yet it is becoming in- creasingly difficult to recall what all the fuss was about in the first place. That is, before.the per- sonality conflicts of a select few took over and mushroomed into a never-ending wave of irra- tionality and petty vindictiveness. There has certainly been a lot of mumbling in dark corners about the Chevron being a “commie rag,” but honest evaluations of the paper’s content have always given the lie to these allegations. Such appeals to anti-communism are reminiscent of Senator Joseph McCarthy’s .witch-hunting hey- day in postwar America; a idark period in recent history when paranoia was rampant and politi- cal freedom nonexistent.

Fully thirty-five percent of students withdrew their Chevron fees this term. While this figure falls considerably short of that needed to revoke the paper’s charter as the official student press at UW, it is certainly a clear indication to the Chev- ron staff that a significant minority of students are dissatisfied with the paper. If no efforts are made to change this regrettable situation. then refunds may very well exceed fifty percent in some future term. In this event, the Chevron’s official status shall have been annulled by means of a democratic method students have chosen for themselves, and not by an ad hoc measure designed to manipulate student opin- ion.

I am certain that a majority of students at this university share in my view that the madness must end. Over the past two years we have byif-

In many respects, the Chevron is a paper which UW students can and should be proud of. It’s comprehensive ‘research into government cutbacks in education spending remains unsur-

passed by any other student newspaper in Canada. (Consider the irony behind the Federation’s cutbacks information display in the Campus Centre a few weeks ago. Most of this exhibit was comprised of articles clipped from recent issues of the Chevron.) Chevron investig- ations into such matters as the management shake-up in the Physical Resources Group and the excesses of our regional police force have revealed many facts which were either suppres- sed or ignored in the Kitchener-Waterloo Record and other news media. The high quality of inves- tigative reporting in the Chevron is a tribute to the progr&sive attitude of students at this uni- versity.

nessed a relentless campaign of systematic harassment directed at our student press, well as cour)tless irresponsible and immature acts of vindiction. This has to be the ultimate re- ferendum; an irrestible opportunity for stu- dents to put an end to the insanity which has plagued campus life at UW for far too long.

Vote YES in the upcoming November 30 re- ferendum and allow the Chevron to retain its eighteen-year status as the official student press at the University of Waterloo. The paper will then be in a position to fulfil1 its obligation to the students be separating from the Federation through incorporation and negotiating with the administration for the guaranteed collection of their levy, conditionally based tipon the democ- ratic and constitutional principles of refunda- ble fees’and adherence to the CUP Statement of Principles. This is the direction students have chosen in two previous referenda and we should not allow a small group of malcontents to casu- ally ignore the fact.

Vote YES and supp.ort the preservation of democracy at the University of Waterloo. Vote YES and show your desire for a return to sanity.

Steve Beattie Science 2

A paper to be proud of On November 30 a referendum will be held

to determine if “The Chevron“ is to continue in its capacity as the official newspaper of the Federation of Students. The Chevron should

‘be supported in this referendum. This stand is in no way due to my political philosophies. I am opposed to the strong leanings of the Chevron’s editorial content. This does not imply opposition to the paper. It has a bias that is quite clear; they have a right to do that in their editorials.

I am voting in favour of’ the Chevron on November 30 because: 1) I support the posi- tion that a democratic press should exjst on campus dependent on no external influences. 21 I am in favour of their being a Federation of Students newspaper. As of this writing, this paper is the Chevron.

I have written only two kntertainment arti- cles for the Chevron which certainly doesn’t qualify me to speak for it. However as a stu- dent at this university since 1973. I feel it is time for a decision. For too long have “Bulls-Eves”, Telegdi’s “Coryphaeus 1973”.

“Other Voices”, and “real Chevrons” sprung up and withered. The Chevron has long been opposed by other papers, which have existed only to oppose. The current opposition paper the Imprint is largely put together by former Chevron staffer?, who for various political and editorial differences left. This opposition’ has made the Chevron a more responsible paper that it has been the past few ye’ars. More sports, more entertainment. and in short more STUDENT news can now be found in the Chevron.

But problems are created. Heated and often silly campaigns are being waged. No one can be sure if one story in one paper will be de- nounced as lies in the other. Charges of “scab journalism” and “guilt by association’* fill the Chevron it its campaign against the Imprint. The Imprint on the other hand seems to publish at times only to justify its existence.

‘1 have been told by Larry Hannant of the Chev- ron and John W. Bast of Imprint that “the others” present such opposition that it is impossible for them to work together.

Understandably the Chevron is jealous of Imprint’s ad revenue from the Federation. The Imprint is en\fious of the office space belonging (for the moment) to The Chevron. The repetition of stories which appear, make two papers re- dundant. Both cover the same sports events, re- view the same movies records and speakers, with minor exceptions.

The Chevron may have the edge on campus politics. The ZANU interview may be one of the most importa5t stories printed on this campus. But for the most part students are sick of the. bickering to the point of being total137 bored with the whole issue. No one cares an!’ more.

Support for The Chevron, does not impl>~ sup- port for the AIA. The Chevron and the AIA halve been closely associated. but m!’ writing for The

The referendum seems to me to be a waste ot money, for it will accomplish nothing. The same conflicts will still exist. The Chevron editorial staff, whether one agrees with them or not. are a dedicated group who will not give up in what they believe to be a just struggle.

(:hevron would seem to indicate their alliance is not a federation.

On the other hand support for the Imprint. which like the Chevron has dedicated workers on its staff. does not impl!’ support for Rick Smit.

The Chevron has made a lot of enemies. but this is easil!, rectifietl. There is room, great room for inipro\rement. Hopefull! it is not naive to bt!lieve the (:hevron can change, if students support it single ne\vspaper. -

This campus needs a newspaper. The Chevron is the official newspaper. If !rou believe the first statement. you will suppori The (:hevron. Th.e!v are not ogres, neither is the Imprint staff. The referendum will have a low turnout, it is too expensive. and it is a waste of time and energ!’ for all concerned. Let’s get this’stupid thing over with. I write for the papers because 1 like to write; politics do not and should not enter into the picture. We need onI>, one paper. Is it too wild a dream to belieLIe in a combined Imprint- Chevron’) A vote for the (lhevron would make this possible. \

VOTE NO Chevron only serves itself

In light of the upcoming referendum on the Chevron. there are a number of comments I would like to make on the situation.

The first goes back to the fourth week of this term, after the final figures were available on refunds af Chevron fees to the student hod\.. 35% of the students took back their fees, and yet the Chevron interpreted this as being student support to continue its work.

I see here an obvious discrepancy. The Che\l- ron seems to take it for granted that the fact that 65% of the students chose to leave their fees in. means that 65% of the students support the Chevron. While this may in fact be true finan- cially, I don’t think it holds true as far as moral support is concerned, for the following reasons.

PersonallJr. although I wasn’t wild about the Chevron in September\ (and am fed up to the teeth with them now), I left rn>r fees in, because I don’t believe in refundable fees. While students may not support a particular newspaper or fed- eration, I think it is essential to students’ rights that all’ students finance a student press and a student organization. Its like paying taxes. t3!, exercising your right not to financiall>r support the Chevron or the federation, J~OU absolve J~OUI right to get in on the goings on later. (This seems to me to be in line with the principles of democ- racy. which the Chevron so strenuousI!, up- holds, and yet it was a major proponent of re- fundable fees when t’he!, were initiated last, year.) l:or this reason I didn’t reclaim rn!r fees and I’m sure there are others like me.

Also, people who are new on campus \vould not have wanted to take out their fees without finding out for themselves what the Chevron was like. I know last Jrear. it appeared to me that the Chevron was the onl!, group on campus that seemed to be fighting for me. I ha\le since changed rn!r mind. ’

In light of these considerations. it appeaqs that the Chevron’s assumption that 65% of the stu- dents support it, is a fault!! one. and its claim to legitimacy on this basis is a last resort where no other was available.

Another point 1 want to comment on is Diane Chapitis’ ‘Comment’ column of November 3 (CUP\Iz’: under attack). This is such a childish attack on the Imprint that it hardly deserves reading. The item under attack by Chapitis is the cover of the October 19 Imprint, a cartoon por- traying a K-W transit worker and a letter carrier telling each other “Your service ‘stinks!” It seemed to me to,be a rather drily humorous look at the-situation we all found ourselves in during these strikes. Chapitis’ article, however, found this the basis for making a vicious attack on the Imprint, and then for making politically biased comments under the guise of commenting on a campus situation. This attempt to malign the Imprint in such a way is, frankly, insulting.

There are many more things I’d like to com- ment on at length, but there just isn’t room; so I’ll go over them briefly.

1 don’t understand how the paper claiming to be the democratic representative of all students can so heartily condemn one group of students, the Engineers, and justify locking a legitimate Eng Sot demonstration out of its offices. An obvious contradiction.

Why must we hear so much about the state’s oppression in Albania and Rhodesia when we hear nothing of the legitimate struggles of native people (Indian and Inuit), against Canada’s technocracy, in our own country?

The Chevron’s,opposition to tuition and rent increases as ~$11 as cutbacks ‘is well known.

-While examination of these is definitely neces- sary on campus, outright condemnation of them as attacks by the state is foolish and helps no one.

The dollar is shrinking, and cutbacks, to an ex- tent. seem inevitable. Yet the Chevron has not told us how we ma)’ survive them better, and in this way their opposition is futile.

All of these things point out to me that the Chevron does not belong on campus as the ?ep- resentative press of all students. It seems ob\fi- ous that the Chevron is a paper using the guise of student press to furfher its own political aims. Any opposition to it is labelled ‘racist’. ‘sexist’. or ‘anti-student’, and yet the Chevron has never proven to me that it is on nij’ side. It utilizes its opinion to further its aims. whether or not it ma\’

contradict itself in doing so. It has become obvi- ous to me that the Chevron’s major aim is onI>’

one: to survive. It is self-righteous and exists only to further its own aims; it is thus not a legitimate representative of students.

In closing, let me sa>* that I don’t support either Imprint or the federation. I cannot COI:- done the federation’s previous attacks on the Chevron. Nor do I say that the (:hevron is all bad. Many of its efforts are thorough and accurate.

It has taken me time to learn, however, that the Chevron won’t support me. the student. unless it suits itself. Because of this. and the fact that in the past. the Chevron’s journalistic st!rle has been childish and insulting to me, I will vote on the 30th of November that the Chevron should not remain the legitimate student press.

1 urge ever\rone to financialI>. support the stu- denf press, to examine the situation closel!9, and to vote in the upcoming referendum.

Does not represent students The chevron has stated that it will not rec-

The Cheirron’s stand is also hypocritical: in an editorial of June 3. 1977, the Chevron claimed that the I+‘ederat ion’s refundable fee referendum should be held in one term, an;i attacked the I’ederation for having a tivo-term Irote on refundable fees, sapling that the split referen(luni \\*as ii clelo!~ tactic.

One can hardI!, belie\re their concern fog bias, after their first selection for the commission membership was ruled in- valid because of bias towards the Chevron.

Given that one dismisses the Chevron’s ar- guments against the validit!! of the referen- dum. why should its status as “official” stu- dent newspaper be terminated? The most pressing reasons concern the paper’s’ attitude towards student opinion. If one argues that students don’t like the Chevron the way it is. they yell *‘no evidence.” When one conducts an opinion poll on the Chevron (i.e. lasi LVinter term’s survey of GOC) students from all faculties), the Chevron hollers “biased evi-’ dence!” and dismisses it. But lvhen was the last time the Chevron itself conducted a poll of student opinion ‘! Thev used to be con- ducted at the end of each term, but the campus hasn’t seen one for over two years.

It is unprofitable to argue with the “correct line” mentalit!, of those leading the paper. This is the rl:ason that the wild and craz) things the Chevron writes go undisputed. Its critics no longer feel the paper is taken seri- ously. It’s always a good subject for a laugh in Enginews. MathNews, FASS and passing con- versation, but beyond that the Chevron has be- come a boring topic.

The dissenting elements on the Chevron staff have left the paper in waves. Last Winter term was characterized by intimidation and denunciation of those staffers with differing viewpoints. One staff member was kicked off the paper and an attempt was made to expel others. Here were the people who opposed the political firing of Neil Docherty and Henr!, Hess by the Shane Robert’s Federation in 1976 doing exactly the same thing themselves in 1978.

The Chevron has become the classic case study of ideological takeover. The Anti- Imperialist Alliance’s economic a,nd political viewpoint in the paper is insidious and per- vasive.

Part of a r.ewspaper’s credibility is based on what it selects to print. Are a wide variety of viewpoints expressed or sought out by tht Chevron’! The political viewpoinfs in the paper are one-sided and AIA members have be- come columnists.

The (:hevron does not serve the function of a student newspaper on our campus. For this reason, students should vote to end its official status on November 30.

Voting against the CIhevron will not prevent the paper from publishing. It will however end their claim to represent the students on this campus- something the>r obviously do not do.

Basketball The University of Water-

loo men’s basketball team ran into a stone wall last Saturday at WLU - the zone defence of the Hawks.

Competing in the fifth annual WLU invitational - tournament, the Warriors met Laurier in the final after edging past Brock Univer- sity Badgers 83-75 on Fri- day.

The Warriors were com- pletely unable to penetrate the Hawk zone and had to settle for a 65-60 loss in the championship game.

The zone and how to play against it will, no doubt, be a topic of conversation at Warrior practices this week. It was the zone which was the Warrior undoing 2 weekends ago against St. Francis, as well as last week against the Hawks.

Apart from short bursts of outside shooting from Doug Vance and Leon Passmore and some fast break work which kept them close, Waterloo was not in the game. They managed only 2 points in the first 6 minutes and 10 points in the next 10 minutes. Full credit must go to the Warrior defence who

manageLd to keep the score close.

It was Barry Atkinson who dominated the game (the first half anyway) for the Golden Hawks. The 7’1”, 270 lb. forward played in the centre of the WLU zone and with Larry Labaj (the tournament MVP) and Fred Koepke on either side presented a formidable de- fensive wall to the struggl- ing Warriors.

The Warriors not only looked ineffective against WLU but also showed gap- ing mental lapses against a small but quick Brock team on Friday night. UW won by 8 but had a lead of over 20 points reduced to 3 with just over a minute remaining.

Athena basketball

The Athena basketball team now has a 2-2 won- lost record in the Ontario Women’s Intercollegiate Athletic Association fol- lowing an active weekend of three road games in five days.

Friday brought a 81-57 victory over Queens, and was quickly followed by a 90-50 win while at Ottawa. -

High scorer for the Athenas in both games was Liz Silcott with 32 and 40 points respectively.

The Athenas suffered a defeat Thursday night at Guelph, however. The score was 67-74.

Athena volleyball

The Athena volleyball team kept- its unbeaten streak alive Tuesday with an important victory over the York Yoewomen.

The Athenas took the- best-of-five match in four games of 15-13, 15-8, 15-17, and 15-8, in front of a large number of suppor- ters.

For the most part, Waterloo showed domina- tion of fine play, particu- larly in the second game, when the Yoewomen were effectively trounced.

Coach Pat Davis told the Imprint that she was well pleased with the team’s performance, which fol- lowed a tiring week that included two road games. She was also pleased with the performance of the rookies. and the versatility

of the team, which has three good setters all of whom can spike and block.

Hockey

The UW Warrior Hockey team continued league play on Saturday as they travel- led to London. .

The Warriors managed a 3-3 tie with the Western Mustangs, which gives the Warriors 3 points for the season.

Waterloo played a solid game, and led 3-1 midway through the 3rd period. However, the Mustangs were not prepared to give in, and they rallied for two quick goals.

Waterloo’s goals came from Leo Lefebure, who had two, and Dave Jutzi, who got the third.

Coach McKillop was happy with his team’s per- formance, and he saw no major problems. However, the Warriors are suffering with some injuries, primar- ily to’the defensive core.

McKillop would also like to see his offence taking more shots on net.

Waterloo doesn’t play a home game until December

1, when they play Guelph. Western shuffled its line-up Jon Shaw bringing in Dave Monteith

as setter. The change paid

Voile yball off as they got off to a quick start, taking the first four

Last Friday, the OUAA West Division began league play, with the Warriors tak- ing on the Mustangs in a four game match, at West- ern.

In the first game, both teams matched each other point for point, until at 7-7, the Warriors exploded to pull away to a 12-7 lead. Western fought back to close the gap to two points but the Warriors came through with good serves and agressive blocking to take the game at 15-11.

In the second game,

points. The Warriors tried to

come back but to no avail, eventually losing 9-l 5.

The third game was a “freebie”; the Warriors re- ally went to sleep and West- ern took the game easily, by a score of 15-6.

The fourth game started out like the third game, with Western jumping off to an easy 10-2 lead. But then, the Warriors surprised everyone there by waking up and started to play as 1 they were capable of play- ing. John Khor
