GEORGETOWN, Guyana - Barely 18 months since becoming technically independant, Guya- na is well on its way to becoming a model exam- ple of neo-colin ialism at work in South Ameri - ca. Amid much t alk of neutralism and planned, economy, the leadership of the new nation has adopted policies indicating subservience to the United States and other imperialist nations. Furthermore, th e former British colony has ins- tituted anti-Communism as a semi-official poli - cy and has gone full speed ahead with plans to keep the country’s government perpetually put of the hands of the nation’s largest politi- cal party, the Marxist-oriented People’s Progres - sive Party (PPP). PPP is led by Dr. Cheddi Ja- gan, three-times popularly elected Prime Minis - ter, when Guyana was the British colony of Guiana. Guyana has unabashedly called on the Uni- * ted States, Brita in and Canada, not only to main- tain but to expand their exploitation of the nation’s natural and human resources. While most neo-colonialist nations try to cover up the fact that their chief attraction to inves- tors is their modified slave labor, Guyana bra- zenly advertises the fact. The leaflet mentioned above trumpets out that the basic government wage is only four dollars a day, while in some fields, such as commerce and the clothing indus- try, workers can be had for two dollars a day or less. Others concessions for would-be investors, (who have responded at a gratifying rate, accor- ding to Guyana's self-styled “socialist" govern - ment linclude tax holidays, land give-aways, and no restrictio n on the repatriation of profits, capital and capi tal gains. The latter item means the investors ca n soak the country for as much as they want with out any obligation to the people of Guyana. The adoption of these policies is not carried out in a vacuum. This is the labor of the govern- ment’s first Finance Minister, Peter d’Aguiar, himself one of the nation's most important bu- sinessmen. D’Aguiar was influential in focusing the activities of the Guyana Credit Corp. almost entirely on paving the way for investors. Too much emphasis had been put on the housing sec- tor, he told the National Assembly in justifying budget shifts.

The marchers were kept to the sidewalk by a police escort until they spilled into the road- way and blocked traffic at Mountain and Sherbrooke streets. 200 McGill students rein- forced the march which then proceeded without inci- dent to Cote des Neiges and along McGregor to the Ameri- can Consulate. it was in front of the Consu- late that the violence erupted. Greeted by some 150 police of- ficers, three paddy wagons, twelve mounted police, and fifteen motorcycles, the mar- chers became restless.

A "peaceful” dem onstration against Am erican policy in Vi­etnam Friday evening, was m arked by violence resulting in the arrest of 48 students.

Forty-six students were charg­ed with unlawful assembly and one was also charged with assaulting an officer. Two of the students were m inors, and will be dealt with in juvenile court.

The protestors were mainly from Sir G eorge. McGill, the University of M ontreal, and o ther U G EQ affiliates.

The m arch should have been orderly, except for the poor crow d control tactics of the M ontreal Police Departm ent and the inability of the dem ons­tration leaders to keep the crow d orderly.

UBC Dow protest continuesM A R C H (Continued from page 1)

It was reported by many wit­nesses that one girl, who was standing with a stick, in her hand, was seized around the neck by an officer. A nother officer rushed to his aid, lifted the girl’s legs, and pushed his fist into her chest. Her cries of help were unheeded as yet ano ther officed jabbed his night stick sporadically at her knees and betw een her legs.

The dem onstrators were caught betw een the frightened horses and the walls of build­ings - they began throwing sticks and rubble at the police.

The police rushed forward, swinging their night sticks, into the crow d, arresting anyone who showed the least resistan­ce or agression.

Shouts of “G estapo! G es­tapo!” echoed from the crowd as the police charged on horse­back from the rear. A Sir G eor­ge co-ed was cornered by a m ounted police who hit her with his crop. And yet ano ther Sir G eorge couple was wedg­ed against a car as a different m ounted police held them there with his horse.

The last scene was one of m archers -walking away, tend­ing their wounds, nam e-call­ing at the police, trying to re­group and stop traffic on Mc­G regor Street. The dem ons­trators were loaded, with bruis­ed and bleeding heads in some cases, into the paddy wagons and were taken to Station 10. The ground was left littered with the broken sticks and overturned garbage.

VANCOUVER (CUP) - A University of B ritish Colum ­bia dem onstration against Dow Chemical com pany conti­nued W ednesday as peaceful­ly as it began.

The p ro test, involving about 300 students, began at 9 a.m . Tuesday as protestors picketed outside student placem ent of­fices w here Dow Chem ical representatives are holding job interviews.

Several sat down inside the building but did not block the en trance to the interviews.

At about 11 a.m . however, twenty dem onstrators led by student Senator G abor M ate sat in front of the doorway leading to the interviews and refused to let students pass.

M ate said he was acting as an individual and not represen­ting any group.

Stan Persky, Arts President said he was disappointed in the actions of M ate and the forty others who eventually joined him.

“A dem onstration is not an individual thing, but is m eant to show group concern”, he said.

Persky and his followers left the building and picketed outsi­de until late afternoon.

About six faculty m em bers led by Professor Bill W illmott jo ined the picketers in front of the office.

Student council president Shaun Sullivan visited the de­m onstration at noon and said he was disappointed that two thirds of those blocking the entrance were from Simon Fra­ser University, only a few mi­les away.

“If there is an incident it will give UBC a black eye,” Sullivan said.

Pickets paraded outside the student service building throug­hout W ednesday but entry was not im peded.

Persky’s group continued their dem onstration until the Dow interviews ended.

He said he will also protest ten o ther com panies coming to UBC.

“We will dem onstrate against any com pany m anufacturing

war m aterials," he said.M onday the University Tea­

chers C om m ittee on Viet Nam issued a le tter urging “every person to consider carefully the uses which his em ployer may m ake of his knowledge and technical skills.”

The le tter concluded:“The developm ent of techni­

ques of chem ical and biological w arfare, the perfection of nu­clear weapons, and the m anu­facture of napalm are ali sha-

peace fullymeful exam ples of the misuse which is sometimes m ade of skills and knowledge.

“We believe that people who contem plate working for com panies like the Canadian subsidiary of the Am erican Dow Chem ical Corporation, which m anufactures the na­palm dropped in huge quanti­ties of defenseless Vietnam ese women and children, should consider soberly the moral issues involved.”

(CUP - Chevron photo) - A small group of University of Waterloo students protested on-campus recruiting by Bow Chemical and other makers of war supplies, Nov. 8. Some members of the facul­ty joined in the peaceful demonstration.

Debate changes topic:

"Sex better than pot”

The topic debated by Hamil­ton University (affirmative) and Sir G eorge (negative).w as “resolved that the use of m a­rijuana is the shortest road to U topia.” A fter the first few words of the first speaker, the audience cam e to the realiza­tion that the topic would not be dealt with.

The first speaker for the af­firm ative tried to give a histo­ry of the drugs use - which is now found am ong rich subur­bans, in Universities and in high schools. The reason for this, he m aintained, is that we live in a society under the th reat of nuclear annihilation, riots, and the w ar in Vietnam . M arijuana is a non-addictive escape. He m aintained that shortly the drug would be as com m on as beer.

Negative’s first could not think of anything to counter with and m aintained that the o ther was neurotic and should not need drugs (which hadn’t been postu lated by the other). He then sta ted the shortest route to U topia was not m ari­juana but sex. The o ther beni- fits of sex are it’s w arm th, ex­tension (it can be shared), is p leasan t relaxing, and stimu­lating.

Second affirm ative said he had no argum ent with sex, then tried to get back to the topic. M an he m aintained, has previously spent all his ener­gy on war and violence. No one over thirty can understand

our generation, and it is our du­ty to conquer m an’s inclina­tion for violence with love. This can be done by expanding our senses through m arijuana and o ther hallucinagenics. Then to turn on such people as Lyndon Johnson and Dean Rusk. We m ust look within and find love.

The final speaker for the af­firm ative m aintained there we­re o ther ways to get high-such as booze. With these stim ulants unlike m arijuana, you do not run the risk of a prison term , or the RCM P poking around the sugar-cubes in the cafete­ria. The old saw of psycholo­gical dependance was m entio­ned along with the inferance this was bad. He next brought up some very dubious argum ents linking m arijuana, violence and psychosis. These brought forth angry com m ents from those in the audience who w ere inform ed.

The audience was small.

The final rem ark from the affirm ative was that no less a source than Dr. T im othy Leary had said that m arijuana was as safe as m other’s milk. Also the negative should not condem anything they had not tried (shown by referances to “refers”, “hab it” and “di­m e-pack” ).

A debate had been called on the subject of marijuana-no- thing was said.

The Men On Horseback

" A Tory is a man who knows the price of everything and the value of nothing." - with apo log ies to O scar Wilde.

A curious article entitled "Student Anarchists" recently appea­red in that innocous little journal of confusion, called the G EO R­G IA N TORY. Its author, one D.M. Smith, attempted, quite m suc- cessfully, to analyze a philosophy obviously beyond the scope of his com prehension. The poor fe llo w w as apparently echoing the sentim ents of those anarchic people who have yet to be in­formed that "Progressive Conservative" is a contradiction in term s. The confused Mr. Smith abhors "irrational behavior" i.e. action. So what, he says, if th e bookstore unfairly removed $90,000.00 from the students' pockets. Telling them so, is "irra­tional". He then, presumably, im p lies that the strike w as enac­ted by the "leftist minority on ca mpus".

These m ysterious folk, it seem s, caused the staff of the ToryO

much consternation. They repeated ly violate the fundemental principle of conservatism by doing things and obtaining results, instead of discussing them "ratio naly" over a Martini.

Mr. Smith cries in anguish th a t the "radical elem ent" should rejoice that they have the right of protest. When the "radical elem ent" exercises this right, h e and people of his ilk shriek that they have abused it. Conservatives, it must be said, are a bit muddled. The fact that postal se rv ice is under government con­trol, doubtless cost the TORY staff many sleepless nights. An in­trepid Pony Express rider, braving the hazards of the overland trail, would quicken their heartbeats. Their boyish eyes would widen in aw e and tears would trick le down their wan cheeks at the sight of competitions betw een team s. The TORY, we fear, will not rest easily until C an ada's mail is adorned with horse manure as it w as in days of yore b efore we Russians at the G eo r­gian destroyed, forever, the concept of free enterprise.

W ere Mr. Smith, et al, to curta il their relentless search for Communist conspiracies, even briefly , they might notice that C a­nada's woodlands have been parted by super highways and that covered wagons, a las and alack, can now be seen only in m use­ums.

Following Mr. Smith’ s impassioned plea for resistance to change, the TORY, as an after-thought inc luded som e "UGEQ Facts", That insidious organization, says the TORY, has recommended 1 to the Minister of Education, that at least 40% of all courses be gi­ven in French in Quebec's eng lish speaking universities. Co-in- cidentally, of course, this is the o nly sentence in a 54 page docu­ment that the "minions of truth" chose to proffer for public con­sumption. The essence of the report actually revolves around the integration of French and English education beginning at the high school level. This might, U G E Q points out, be instrum ental in promoting greater-co-operati on between the two cultures.

We are sure that the TORY omm itted this fact m erely for techni­cal reasons. How could conservat ives, after all, intentionaly' de­ny that co-operation between Eng lish and French speaking Q ue­beckers would be helpful? A ren 't they in favor of rational so­lutions?

Shame On YouEditor, the georgian

The Political Science Soci­ety has shown poor faith by inviting Prof. L. LaPierre to speak on Quebec Nationalism. The Society was not organized to provide platform s for poli­tical aspirants. It was organized to present intelligent discussion a n d /o r speakers who were ca­pable of discussing the realm of politics writ large, such as political philosophy or aspects thereof.

Two recen t guests who add­ressed the society namely, Prof. W oeglin and Prof. Akzin did m ake worthy contributions to the original aims of the society, but the last guest was an error in sponsorship to say the least.

Shame on the Executive for allowing this to happen.

A bout allegedly noxious piece in the Daily’s.

"Take orgasm noises sir and cut them in with to rture and accident groans and scream s sir and operating-room jokes sir and flicker sex and torture film right with it sir... just do it sir...in front of everybody... it would have a comic effect sir...it has a third effect sir... right down the old middle line sir...the razor inside sir...”

So m aybe they w on’t know where I’m at. It com es from the policy of reflective to le­rance is w here it started . You got a cam era, a tape recorder- you w anna m ade a horror show. T here’s a club - a very private club - it’s called People - the club plays a game - it’s called Them and Us - they draw lines - you step over that line they bust your teeth in — it’ s any old line - the line isn’t im por­tant - the line isn’t the gam e - the gam e is bustin' peoples teeth in - they need a reason for the game - they pick a line - they bust your teeth in cause its an im possible line.

You think it’s new you think its happening now you think it's im portant now cause it’s the last time it's here recently? It's an old game children. It’s not im portant. You wanna win you don ’t play their gam e and if there are enough of you you win and then you start play­ing your own game you pick a line and bust their teeth in cause it’s an impossible line.

A Strang e P aperEditor, the georgian

If students are to dem and a greater and m ore effective role, in the adm inistering of their affairs it is also necessary that they couple to this dem and the responsibility which it implies. If students are to vote upon the future of Sir G eorge in U .G .E.Q. it is necessary that they base their judgem ent not upon unthinking em otionalism

but ra ther upon thoughtful consideration of the argum ents both for and against - in short, some attem pt at objectivity should be m ade. And if this attem pt is to be at least par­tially successful the georgian must be used to inform students and not to m anipulate their opinion.

The report of the Student Council m eeting of N ovem ber 8 is a case in point. The article dealt in half-truths, the impli­cations throughout were not substantiated by fact but ra ther were inferred by omission of fact. W ords w ere used to create an atm osphere, to mold and co­lour opinion, words such as, “an aura of confusion hung over the voters.” Since the m ajority of students did not attend this m eeting their main source of inform ation is this paper. Do they have a right to know w hat happened? Is it at all conceivable that you have a responsibility to tell them ?

It is indeed strange that a paper which has chosen to cham pion the cause of stu­dent rights’ has also chosen to deny the students a basic right which it is in their pow er alone to give. We speak of tru th . Robb Stovel

flaunts his professorship as a red battleflag to vent his cess­pool fum igations - unfortuna­tely, the poor devil is still him ­self in a puberty fram e of mind. Faber’s foul diatribes are not fair to the enlightened students of Sir G eorge.

We G eorgians should have enough pride and insight to realize that our aims and ide­als are not juvenile sex-per­m eated eruptions of a sex- enslaved m entality - as Far- ber’s language betrays.

On the contrary , we G eor­gians have proved our m aturi­ty, aw areness, and responsibi­lity by simply discarding these im potent m onologues of frus­tration. Our quality of expres- sioh certainly reflects the de­sired quality of our dem ands and aims for g reater participa­tion, co-operation and m ean­ingful Dialogue with our adm i­nistration in planning our edu­cation.

UGEQ - R IN?Editor, the georgian;

Your front page article on the open m eeting in the No­vem ber 10th Georgian. You wrote that the waving of a C anadian flag and the trem en­dous response to it from the audience “added a note of ra­cism ” to the m eeting.

I waved a Canadian flag at

the m eeting.This is the first time I have

been called a racist and hope­fully it will be the last time. The article implied that anyone who cheered the flag was anti- French. This is a gross falsity. 99.9% of Sir G eorge students are not anti-French. But we are anti-separatist, and vehe­mently so. It is my belief that U .G .E.Q. is a separatist-ori­ented organization. I draw this conclusion from two facts: 1) U .G .E.Q. con tribu ted $200.00 of our m oney to the legal fees of two separatist terrorists who bom bed a shoe factory, killing one w orker. 2.) M em­bers of the executive of U. G .E.Q . have been and are very active in R.I.N. rallies.

I am proud to be a C anadian and I am proud of our flag. I’ll be dam ned if I will con­tribute even one cen t to any organization that supports the destruction of my country.

Last week I w rote a letter to the ed itor concerning the election analyses by Mr. Zweig. I wrote not merely as an inte­rested s tu d e n t/b u t as a direct participant. It was, I believe, a justified, serious criticism of what I fe lt was a h in t of yel­low journalism .

I deliberately a ttem pted to further elucidate my platform as a candidate for the vice­presidency of the Arts faculty. I also took exception with Mr. Zweig’s allusion to one of my stated qualifications.

That le tter did not appear in the georgian’s subsequent two issues.

As a form er, and a potential future candidate I believe the georgian has done me a disser­vice, both in Mr. Zweig’s not notifying me about his article and in not printing my letter. I am, therefore, again writing to you, not to enunciate my policy, for that is a rem nant of an already-contested elec­tion, but to clarify the quali­fication in question.

Mr. Zweig inferred that I had never written for the geor­gian, I most certainly did write! It happens that only a couple of articles at the m ost were published, but it was an honour I was proud to have and one which I hope to have again occasionally this year.

I have gained a new respect for you, sir, and your paper, for having resoluteness in the conviction of your ideas, and gum ption to print your opi­nions on a myriad of topics. One need not necessarily con­cur with its professed ideology to be inspired to think. It is a transform ation which I feel has been long overdue. A pity it is that Mr. Zweig finds it so difficult to acclim atize himself to the principles of good journa­lism. A lan Segal

Pornography not detrimental to human situation

Carl LAW

Reali st ed itor Paul K rassner cam e to M ontre al on M onday Novem ber 15, and blew a lot of minds in the process. To some he was illum inating; to others m e­rely an en terta iner, but essentially, he was explicit.

He suggested the difficulty of labell­ing any thing as obscenity, beyond that which is forced upon the individual. In the rea lm of literature and the o ther m edia, m an retains the freedom of choi­ce in h e ren t in his ability to cancel his subscrip tion, switch off his set etc. M ore explicitly, I don ’t believe that Krassner conside rs any so-called pornography or o b scen e literature, etc . to be detri­m ental to the hum an situation. A dem o­cratic socie ty should perm it the arou­sal of p ru rien t interests in individuals who a re thus inclined (most people). The fe ar syndrom e motivating those individu als who believe that mass dege­neracy would result from totally unin­hibited m edia expression, should be a llev iated by the fact tha t individual tastes w ould still be a controlling fac­tor, and since the m ajority of people are dece nt and G od-fearing, (sic) porno­graphy, a n d /o r obscenity would have no ch a n c e to propagate beyond its m i­nority au d ien ce (sic).

The foregoing, however, is not viable in p rac tice , since, in fact, the hum an race is n ot decent and G od-fearing, and is only kept in check by suppression. If po rnograph ic films were screened publicly o ther en terta inm ent m edia might su ffe r a sharp audience decline. People fear this. I feel that the truly in n o cen t child, unconditioned to a value system , except of the most basic sort, c an n o t be harm ed by ‘pornogra­phy’, a n d /o r obscenity ', per se. It is only wh en these factors are woven into a co n tex t of guilt, suppression, fear e tc. th a t dam age can result. ‘Pornogra­phy’ a n d ‘obscenity’, even of the poor­est type , are essentially harmless.

Krass ner cited such exam ples as mass advertising , and the instant-replays of the K ennedy assassination, as being exam ples of ‘perm issible obscenity’. A dvertising is often obscene, because it m asquerades behind a facade of res- pectabi lity while in fact selling the pro­

duct th rough the use of sexual sugges­tion, a n d appeal to neurotic and pru­rient tastes. The obscenity lies inhe­ren t in the fact that the individual is not consciously aware of these things, so in e ffec t he is hit below the belt. To extend his argum ent K rassner juxtapos­ed the a ttem ps to ban the Rolling Stones record ; ‘Let's spend the night together’, with th e passive acceptance of Sina­tra ’s ‘S trangers in the Night’ which describes by inference a prom iscuous

1 relation ship betw een strangers. The prevale nee of the double standard, m akes it laughable to se lec t’ certain things a s censor’s scapegoats.

K rassner though entertain ing and occasionally irrelevant did not confine himself to the narrow spectrum of ‘obs­cenity’, but expanded his philosophies to enco mpass m ore general issues such as the ro le of education. Ideally, educa­tion sho uld teach the individual to think for him self. This is ostensibly anathe- mic to the corporate bodies which superv ise education and by extension to the ‘b o d y politic’ in toto. To me, the problem revolves around the ‘com pre­hension gap’. Many of the opinions expoused by Krassner, and o thers, are b ased not on em pirical considerations but on personal philosophy. M any of the w o rld ’s minds are perm anently trapped within their own intellectual limits a n d cannot reconcile certain con­cepts, regard less of how much debate takes p lace . O thers can be reached but merely hold different opinions which of co u rse is quite in order. Thus the problem is one of com m ication as well as m ora lity. People who cannot trans- cen t th e ir conditioning, or who are unintell igent in term s of logic and de­bate m ay never be reached. These howeve r are the people who to a large extent control our destinies. T h a t’s scary!

K rassner discussed also the use of power. He suggested that vested power, as we k now it in North Am erica, invol­ves the use of authority , w ithout com ­passion . People becom e abstracted in favour of the tangible body politic, which ac tually is an abstration in it­

K ras se r . . . blew a lot of minds

self. T h e guiding philosophy behind society should be the best life possible for each individual, but in fact the indi­vidual’s life is subverted to the inte­rests of the ‘co rpora te body’. This sort of p rostitu tion encroaches upon every facet of our tem poral existence.

K rassner supported the politically satiric d irection of his controversial article, in term s already described, by the m ed ia . I believe his explanations are Valid and further, that his. motives in o ther controversial ‘Realist’ articles’ are valid . K rassner who along with many o th e rs believes that Johnson ex­hibits a curious form of m eglom ania from tim e to tim e, finds journalism to be a logical m eans of expression.

In sum mary then; accepted that Krass­ner is playing his own gam e; is having a ball; i s both an en terta iner and a com ­

modity. G reat! This is his own parti­cular rew ard . Happiness is not inde­cent. H is existence is justified by his com m it m ent to issues; issues which basically affect everyone. They are a constructive force tow ards alleviation of the contem porary social alienation and sick ness. W hen com bined with other constructive forces they in some cases can e ffec t change.

My o n ly requirem ent is; that Krass­ner be honest, primarily with himself, and secondly with others. To a large extent I think he is, so his journalism is thus j ustifiable..

It is all too obvious that the basis societal existence is Flux and the basic psychology of the ostensibly secure hum an being is a hostility towards flux. The flux is the m eat of the perpetual revoluti on.

mumbles by millerW ho the hell do we think

we are to dem and m ore rights as students, to m ake m ature value judgm ents on som e­thing as im portant as UGEQ, when we shirk responsibility. This time we can ’t blam e it on som eone else. It is us. We are the same as a filthy ba- birusa, (a pig!) We are messy, slovenly, and dreggy. Am 1 referring to our dress? Our hippies? No, fellow georgians, I speak only of the. way we chose to use, or abuse, our esteem ed concrete cam pus, our school.

For a building that is only two years old, the unfortunateH.F. Hall cam pus, class rooms,

and auditoria are already pock m arked by stom ped on cigarettes. Gum is living in such cram ped quarters that it is already reported to be procreant, and it is doing so in such vast num bers that I am inform ed that m ore desks are being brought into room s (the school w ouldn’t want to get a reputation of hindering fu ture generations of any­thing!) so as to give it all the necessary room to expand that it needs. Soft drink cups have been sending in desperate p leas for help. It. seems that they are being kicked all over

the floors, and believe it or not, sbme are even getting tram pl­

ed, on in the rush. They appear to be quite indignant. Rum our has it that they are contem plat­ing a cup-out.

Let’s look at our famous sit-in. It's no w onder so many people were sitting down, they were afraid to stand up to see what they were sitting in. It was a disgrace. Dough­nuts all over, spilt coffee left to evaporate, coffee cups half-burnt which were used as ash trays, and little piles of cigarettes neatly grouped together all over the floors. Newspapers were strewn all over the school and the floors were covered with them.

Im m undicity and squalor seem to be our objectives.

“If dirt was trum p, what hands you would hold--’’ Lamb. How can responsible people such as we, have ab­solutely no respect o r good sense to handle ourselves as adults. It's time to clean up our act, and our school at the same time. If your lecturer o r our professor has been open-m inded enough to allow you to sm oke in class, bring an ashtray. Borrow one from the cafeteria if you have to but don 't forget to re tu rn it.

Let's start to use the waste paper baskets that the school has no graciously budgeted

fo r ea c h ro o m . If we are through with the georgian and don 't want to take it home to show the folks or paste in our scrapbooks, le t’s put them in the proper recepticles. Likewise for any extra refuse.

Blotch, putridity, slubber, swill, exuviae, and pediculosis don 't belong at Sir George W illiam’s University. Tall up. G eorgians, tall up. We don’t need to have a twenty- four hour, six day a week “Dung Dialogue”.

Ingersoll said, "It is not necessary to be a pig in order to raise one."

N ational C ongress, the major government party. Reid once said t hat “The time has com e for ca­pital and labor, the two great sections of our com m unity, to co o p e ra te a t all levels”.

W ho are th e se altruistic investors so interes­ted in the development of the “ third world” especially this little nation of 600,000 souls on the edge o f the South A m erican jungle?

Among the m o st im portant are the Conti­nental Oil Co. o f G uyana (a wholly-owned sub­sidiary of C ontinen ta l Oil Co.) and the T enneco Oil Co., who h av e already invested m ore than S> 1.5 million in off-shore oil exploration on the Essequibo Coas t, som e 270 miles off the shores of G eorgetow n, the capita) city. Less than half of the working com plem ent of the oil explora­tion crew is G uyanese.

The G uyana D evelopm ent Corp. announced proudly in its Quaterly Bulletin for January to March 1967, that Continental is the “ eighth largest Oil C om pany in the U .S.A.” with a net profit of S 126,250,000.

“T enneco” th e Bulletin adds, “is an oil and gas transm ission com pany with interests in m anu­facturing, sales, real e s ta te and mining. Head­quarters are in Houston, Texas, and T enneco G uyana Ltd. is a subsidiary of T enneco Inter­national. They own pipe lines from Texas to New-York and have world wide interests, inclu­ding Argentina, Nigeria and Iran”. (The com pa­nies prim ary in terest, the booklet forgot the m ention, is p rofits.)

G uyana is also welcom ing a $ 3 million invest­m ent in a w heat flour mill belonging to the Sea­board Allied M illing Corp. T h is friendly firm is described as ‘ ‘a large United States flour mil­ling Com pany w ith flour mills in the U.S.A. as well as Sierra L eone, Ecuador, Peru and Chile. Workers asked to tighten belts

M eanwhile, G uyana's w orkers are being asked to tighten their belts. The governm ents favors austerity m easures, and has already suggested im plem enting com pulsory arbitration in the ca se of strike th rea ts .

The workers have responded to the situation with a series of w ildcat strikes.

These strikes are significat because they are being undertaken not by political cadres trained by the PPP, but by governm ent em ployees and industrial w orkers loyal to the governm ent par­ty. It is also impo rtan t that these w orkers are de­fying their leadersh ip in the T rade Union C oun­cil.

These leaders, who have staunchly suppor­ted the governm ent, were trained in the U.S. or in G uyana by the A m erican Free Labor Ins­titu te (financed largely by W .R. G race CO and the R ockfeller b ro th ers) and by the in ternatio­nal affairs unit of the AFL-CIO, known for us d irect links w ith the Central Intelligence A- gency.

Furtherm ore, most of the w orkers are Afri­can - a group th at has failed thus far to support the left in G uyana.

The strikers feel responsible for the success at the polls of t he m ajor governm ent party, the People’s N ational Congress, and its leader, Prime M inister Forbes Burnham . Since the go­vernm ent has n o t m et the expectations of the

w orkers, they a re com plaining and feeling their oats.

This may have serious political overtones, if Dr Jagan can sw ing the unrest in his favor. Most of the Africans have not supported Dr. Jagan because he is an East Indian and the PPP has ge­nerally been associa ted with the East Indians. This racial sp lit, how ever, was a result of an earlier rift be tw een Jagan and Burnham , who, once w orked to g e th e r in the PPP.

Racial Strife promotedThe british governm en t prom oted racial stri­

fe and found it u seful in postponing the nation’s independence. H ow ever, there are m any exam ­ples of racial co -operation in the nation’s histo­ry, and with som e effort, Dr Jagan may be suc­cessful in bringi ng som e Africans back into the ranks of the PP P.

Dr. Jagan and the PPP continue to th ink in ter­ms of an e lec to ra l victory, despite their partic i­pation in the pro-guerilla Tri-C ontinental Con ference and the Latin Am erican Solidarity Or­ganization. The PPP is G uyana’s largest party num erically, reflecting the s tren g th of the East Indian population. Furthermore, the E a s t Indian population is growing at a more rapid ra te than the re s t of the population.

The rub is th a t the People’s National Congress favored by the Africans, m aintains a po litica l a lliance with th e small U nited Force Party of Peter d ’Aguiar. United Force is favored by the whites and it a lso gets the votes of the country’s 23,500 native Am erican Indians, who vote as the white Rom an C atho lic priests tell them.

The PPP h a s m iraculously avoided a split thus far on ideological grounds, a la the Sino- Soviet dispute. The party’s Freedom House bookstore, on Robb St. in G eorgetow n, sells a wide variety o f literature published in English in M oscow, Pek ing, Havana, Hanoi, London and New York.

However, it is only a question of time before questions of stra tegy must lead Dr. Jagan and his com rades to re-exam ine their curren t position. PPP may grow

On the one h and, the PPP promises to grow because of the increased high birth ra te of the East Indians, T h e re is also possibility of new support of A frican workers for the PPP, given the cu rren t w ave of strikes.

On the o ther hand, there is no reason to assu­me that all of the East Indians, many of them are small in d ependen t farm ers and shopkeepers, will continue to support Jagan and his Marxism

The im perialist powers are not so inept as to simply allow tim e to help Jagan into office • e spec ia lly since Jagan’s policies seriously th rea­ten the im perialists. Jagan served as Prime Mi­nister under Bri tish colonial rule, but before in­dependence was g ran ted ,there was Anglo-Ame­rican m aneuvering to get Jagan out of office.A phony system of “proportional rep resen ta tion” was established, perm itting the form ation of an anti-Jagan coal ition of the People’s National Congress and t he United Force. This was all engineered in la rg e m easure by President John F. Kennedy, w h o once pom pously announced that the United States would not oppose any

Communist who was chosen in a free e lec tion .

The Quieter Side of Protestby Sandra STOCK

On Friday, N ovem ber 17, over 750 studen ts participated in a teach-in in the Alumni A uditorium to protest the Am erican involvem ent in V ietnam . The h o rro r of w ar can never be ade- quatel y conveyed; even through films, first-hand reports, and lectures. All the w ell-in tentioned protest cannot bring back the hum an lives that have been stup id ly and barbarically lost in V ietnam . All the m arches, letters, and draft card burnings cannot heal the scars o f te rro r on ,he minds, and scars of bu rn in g naplam on the bodies, of V ietnam ese children.

To care about these things enough to p ro te s t by m arching, or attending teach-ins, o r honestly stating that we do n o t accept the lies and pseudo­nationalism of the “official" channels of the A m erican governm ent, is to be b ran d ed a com m unist and an enemy of the state. If being concerned with the we lfare of m ankind, and resisting a gove rnm ent that one thinks is immo­ral, is being an enem y of the state, or to use the term s of the Am erican bu reau cracy a "security risk”, then the “sta te” has so many "enem ies” that an ac tual revolution is a credible possib ility.

W ar has always been autrocious. But ne ver before have so m any people been aware of this. The traditional E u ro p e a n w ar w as fo u g h t by p ro ­fessional arm ies and rarely affected civilian populations. M odern w ar is fought by citizen arm ies and involved total civilian populations. Com m uni­ca tio n s have increased the speed and intens ity of our aw areness of the hor­rors p e rp e tra ted in the world by the greedy super-powers. With the cons­tant th reat of nuclear anihilation over us all, it is understandable that ra tion­al and hum anistic people are opposed to anywhere: V ietnam could escalate the ea rth to a dead mass of radioactive dust a n d Vietnam is only the most ex trem e conflict of the m om ent with this po ten tia l.

The speakers at the teach-in varied greatly in delivery and point of view, but a ll were agreed in the condem n­ation o f the U nited States presence in Viet-Nam. However, it was evident that th ey w ere not m onolithic in ap­proach - they opposed all war on moral g rounds, not just this particu lar one.

Presid ent Johnson. (This le tte r is r e - ' p rin ted in the Op-Ed...) The follow­ing sp eak er was Jay W einstein of the Sociology D epartm ent, whose rather unique theories of m odern political behav ior - “W ho sucks who, and who is gett ing sucked by w ho” - w ere not exactl y inspirational, but quite express­ive of the frustrations p roduced by the “system ” that is continuing a purpose­less a n d bloody war and canno t take the h in t that many intelligent people are try ing to get across to som ehow stop it. A fter Prof. W einstein’s dia­tribe, Prof. Adam son com m ented that “I am a square myself, but I think I dug hi s line in the end .” Chacun de son gout...

The possibility of nuclear disaster was ou tlin ed in grisely detail by Neil C am eron , the Science and Engineer­ing L ibrarian . People find this hard to con cieve because they have the idea paralyzes thought and produces a fa­talistic apathy. The terrible think is that th e nuclear powers do not operate on th e assum ation of total destruc­tion o f hum an civilization. G overn­m enta l advisors, like H erm an Kahn in the United States, are actually p lanning post-nuclear w ar societies. Some of K ahn's ideas, that Mr. Ca­m eron quoted, seem to be right out of the pages of science fiction. Un­fo rtunate ly , it’s for real. Research foundations like Rand C orporation claim to be apolitical, but since their cu sto m er is the Defense D epartm ent, it is doub ltfu l w hether they can, at the sam e tim e, be serving the best interests of the A m erican people and hum anity in gen eral.

The R everent Leonard M ason of the U nitarian Church was a m ore serious speaker than those who pro­ceeded him, and he outlined very clearly the falicies of the “Trum an Doctri ne”, that is, the policy of con- tainm e nt of the spread of com m unism . He illustra ted the case of post W orld War II G reece, w here the unpopular royalist governm ent was supported by the United States, although at that time n o outside pow er (Russia or Yu­goslavia) was strong enough, or will­ing, t o aid the popular nationalist parties that had form ed the basis of ths resistence against the G erm an occupa tion . The actual com m unist elem e nt was very small in the popular bloc anyway. This containm ent a- gainst “radicalism ” is strikingly similar to the present situation in Vietnam .

The next speaker on the program m e was K evin Rogers, a g raduate from the

U niversity of Pennsylvania, who is in C anada eveding the A m erican draft He ou tlined his reasons for this move, and re ceived strong em otional support from th e audience, that resulted in a stand ing ovation. Regrettably, there was a m inor incident w hen a m em ber of the audience challenged Rogers’ sta tem en ts, and tried to disrupt order in the auditorium . Prof. Adam son soon had th e situation under control, and although this unruly person refused to d isclose his nam e to the georgian, ha w as identified as Charles Zitler, a leader of the R ational Students M o­vem ent.

From this time cn, the speakers were limited in time, as many of the audience were p lann ing to join the m arch at 5 pm. T h is was unfortunate, as Father Norbe rt Lacost, a Sociologist from the U niversity of M ontreal, had a som e­what d ifferent approach from the o ther speakers - perhaps if could rightly be

and it is ano ther fatality to lack of time th a t the y d idn’t perform for long­er periods.

The th ree films presented were easily the m ost em otionally moving feature of the entire teach-in. The United N ations’ film, Overture, had no dia­logue and d idn’t need any. Poverty, d isease, war, and ruins were starkly shown in many different cultural sett­ings, L atin A m erica, South-east Asia, G reece , the A rab countries, and In­dia. By the end of the film, these na­tional distinctions seem ed to blend and di sappeat - the rem aining im pres­sion w as of suffering hum anity, and the virtually im potent United Nations that c an do so little to assist. Only v io lence ever can effectively change things . This is our tragedy.

The other two film s, Very N ice , Very N ice , by the Canadian National Film B oard, and Time of the Lotus, a film p ro d u ced by the Am erican So-

Chuck Z i tn e r , le f t , d is a g re e s w i t h a p o in t m a d e by tea ch - in s p e a k e r Kevin Rogers, w h i l e P ro fesso r A d a m s o n a t te m p ts to m o d e ra te .

called Christian hum anist - and he was lim ited to only a short lecture. This was d ram atically contrasted by Prof. David Orton of the Sir G eorge Socio­logy D epartm en t, who advocated dras­tic res istance in the style of Che Gua- vara, against what he calls “the rule of the night stick” by police. O rton also blasted the North A m erican university s tru c tu re which he feels perpetuates the ca pitalist and bureaucratic system.

The teach-in was interspersed with films and topical songs in the war- p ro te s t vein by Dylan and Phil Ochs. In spi te of some sound difficulties, the stu d en ts who sang did very well,

ciety o f Friends (Quakers) gave in the first ca se , an excellent presentation of the im personality and despair of m o d ern industrial society, and in the second case of the unbelievable, in­hum an violence in V ietnam . The total im pact is a grim world w here life is “n a s ty , brutish, and sho rt”; a term once u sed by the 17th cen tury social ph ilosopher Hobbs to describe prim it­ive cu ltu res. However, we are not p rim itive; in m any ways we are the most a dvanced civilizations of history, but, at the sam e tim e, we are also the most depraved .

VIETNAM - PART V LAST OF A SERIES

by Robert Guillainfrom Le Monde as translated in “ International Confederation for Disarmament and P eace” published by Housman’s.

A F ren ch planter, taken prisoner in the ju ng le by the Vietcong, was inter­rogated day after day by a political cadre. B ut the cadre suffered from such violent bouts of m alaria tha t he often had to interrupt h is questioning because he was shaking so m uch with fever. Eventually the planter was released. Taking leave of the cadre, he wanted to leave him a large bottle of quinine which h e had with him. But the cadre, so he re la te s , answered with fierce pride, “ Keep your bottle , Monsieur, the people’s army does not need gifts; it has all the rem edies it needs."

A F rench missionary, who was also cap tu red , reports how the personality of one of the guerrilla leaders he met moved him at once to adm iration and fear. O ne day, he asked him in V ietna­m ese: “W here do you com e from , w here is your hom e?” The o ther replied:

“I have fought in the jungle for twenty years. I have no hom e, no village, no family a n d no country. My country is the rev o lu tio n .”

These two curiously parallel anec­dotes seem to me to illustrate a very important aspect of this war, one which

will und oubtedly never figure in the cal­culation s of the A m erican com puters, but m ay nevertheless be decisive: the incred ib le Asiatic capacity for suffer­ing and resistance. And the Vietnam ese are ev en stronger than the Japanese and the Chinese. With the help of un­com prom ising determ ination and an o b stin a te patriotic faith, their capacity for suffering reaches unprecedented heights. The North V ietnam ese and the guerrillas belong to the same race as the peo p le of Saigon, certainly; but M arxism and w ar have enhanced their will tow ards self-sacrifice.

It is still believed abroad that the Chinese are unrivalled in popular w ar­fare. T h is is no longer true. Today the Chinese can take lessons of the South. The Vie tcong fighter, who sticks it out and con tin u es to fight under hellish A m erican bom bardm ent, has rarely been eq ualled in history.

Look also at the V ietnam ese gift for s tia teg em , bluff, and w here necessary, double-crossing and cheating. Really the A m ericans do not kr.ow what k :nd of co u n try they have ventured into The lo n g er the w ar and the Am erican p resen ce lasts, the m ore they risk an uprising by the entire population. For the war and the GIs create m ore resis­tance daily than all the propaganda of Hanoi a n d Peking. The Am ericans can crush th e country with their bombs, but they will be unable to hold it even if it is conquered .

We m ust not go on making the error of underestim ating Am erican strength in V ietnam . It is trem endous, and has not yet reached its limit. Bases are still expanding, and an effective force of 255,000 is due to be increased to 400.000. In the sphere of conventional arm s - 1 he use of atom ic weapons appa­

rently b e ing ruled out - the Am ericans can go o n building up their already for­m idable fire-power, particularly in the air. T h erefo re the question arises, whe­ther the y will not be tem pted to go very m uch fp rth e r than at present in stepp­ing up t he violence war “to the finish".

How far have they progressed in a year? “W e can no longer lose this/w ar,” one of th e ir generals told me. “It is go­ing w e ll," said another. He was speaking in m ilitary term s only, for the political s itua tion is a different m atter. M ilita­rily at le ast the Vietcong are hard pres­sed. T h ey no longer have com pletely secure com m unication lines, and have had to abandon large scale actions, in which bom bs can be used against them. T heir losses have increased. All this is true, a n d yet in many respects A m eri­can mili tary success appears lim ited and too s lo w .

UNEND ING

WAY

Shou Id the Am ericans a ttack the V ietcong on the ground? For that they must b e pinned down and forced to accept battle , which they do very ra- raly. Hu ndredsof times they have m anag­ed to b re a k off an engagem ent, and even mo re often they have avoided m ak­ing c o n ta c t in the first place.

So, shou ld territory be occupied to prevent their re tu rn there? “To occupy South V ietnam after we have cleared them o u t, we should need fifty divisi­ons," a n Am erican expert in Saignon told m e . At present they have fifteen, and have only m anaged to impose an o ccupa tion in very restricted areas. Everyw here else troops patrol the coun t­ry, but do not stay there, and the Viet­cong return. To give one exam ple. At the end of March, I w atched the suc­cess of O peration Utah to the south of Da N ang. This put the Am ericans “in co n tro l'', as they claim ed, of the whole of a g o o d rice growing district. How should they follow it up? Occupy the district? Impossible because of lack of troops. Hand it over to the V ietna­m ese? T h ey have not a ttem pted m ore than th a t. O ccupation is only w orth­while, i n fact, if it inaugurates pacifi­cation. that is, the establishm ent in ru­ral a re a s of adm inistrative m achinery and civilian governm ent personnel, which they do not have. T heir few civilian “cadres” are already insuffici­ent for existing areas. So in the end. the p easan ts w atched their “liberat­ors" de part, and the V ietcong re tu rn ­ed to th e devastated villages.

Is th e re a third course? Should they a ttack the Vietcong through a war of at­trition? In fact, all operations in the past six m onths have been restricted to this, w e th e r they have taken the forms of bom bing the north , or patrolling, as well as bom bing in the South. In the North t he dam age is certainly consi­derable ; but a serious defeat for W as­

hington - the m orale of Hanoi has not been b ro k en . The bom bing has harden­ed, not w eakened, the will to resist, and provoke d the North into providing m ore aid for t he South ra ther than preventing M ore th an 5.000 North V ietnam ese infil­trate th e South each m onth, accord­ing to th e A m ericans. This is three ti­mes mo re than in the autum n, proof that bom bing the Ho Chi Minh trail has hail little effec t.

The w ear and tear suffered by the V ietcong in the South has not been any m ore de cisive. The aim is to inflict los­ses at a rate they cannot sustain, but up to now they have been able to fill the gaps, and considerably reinforce their fire-pow er. Since the end of 1964 they have progressively arm ed all their fighting forces, both regular and irre­gular, w ith standarized m odern weapons of the R usso-Chinese type. They too are capable of “escalation". At this very m om en t Saigon w atches, with conside­rable al arm , a very great concentration of Vie tcong and North V ietnam ese roops ju s t to the south of the 17th pa­rallel. T h e Am ericans run the risk of having to face a heavy offensive dur­ing the com ing m onsoon m onths.

In sh o rt, the Vietcong have overcom e their d ifficulties and reinforced their guerillos, and once again it is the civi­lian popu la tion who suffer the conse­quences. The atrocities of this w ar are not limi ted to one side; it would be un­just to ascribe them only to the A m eri­cans. F o r the pesants, destruction and suffering com e very frequently from the V ietcong. First, from their military operations: night attacks, often fatal to the villages: mortar fire w here the Viet a re in contro l: and battles with light au to m atic weapons, with which they a re abundantly provided. Next from th e ir political cam paign: execu­tions. re praisals and terrorism .

Not a day passes w ithout tragedy. Village elders and local officials are m u rd ered , abducted and tortu red : in

the last three m onths there have been 130 k illed and a hundred kidnapped. O rdinary civilians, usually simple pe­sants, a re executed: 2,000 in 1965 anel 7,000 k idnapped . A wagon carrying harvesters, in a district recently “libe­rated" by the governm ent forces, hit an au tom atic m ine, there were m ore than fo rty victims. A new school went up in flam es the day after it was ope­ned. Li vestock provided by American aid are s laughtered.V ietnam ese em ploy­ed in th e Am erican inform ation ser­vice are “drow ned": a dozen of them in the Delt a since the beginning of the year.

INCRE ASING

DANGER

The w hole population, not only "col­labo ra to rs" are subjected to increasin­gly inexplorable pressure. Recruiting becom es more difficult, and the Viet­cong us e force m ore often and use boys of fourteen . Their levies are becom ing heavier and are m ore often collected at gunpo in t, with the execution of the recalcit ran t to serve as examples.

So th e war of attrition is dem onstra­bly difficult, cruel, and maddeningly inconcl usive. At night the Vietcong rem ain in control everywhere. Pacifi­cation p roceeds slowly and is constan­tly being challenged. Although they have fe w direct encounters with the V ietcong, operations are costing the A m ericans m ore than 500 dead' each m onth. At this rate they will need ano­ther five or six years to secure decisive results.

Not o n ly is it doubtful w hether the A m ericans have that much patience - their im patience is dem onstrated daily - but it is m ore doubtful still whether

STALEMATE OR ESCALATIONthe S outh V ietnam ese have it. It seems p ro b ab le the country will either revolt against the war, and dem and that their saviors go hom e - a danger which the Am eric ans are actually expecting; or else that, because of the extent of the destru c tio n and decay, there will no. lo n g er be any of V ietnam left for the sav iors to save.

The possibility of a new escalation, th ere fo re , must be taken very serious­ly. The A m ericans face the tem ptation to e sp ace from this deceptive kind of guerrila w arfare, to replace it by m o­dern w are fa re with its deadly effici­ency, a n d to m ake short, sharp attacks from overw helm ing strength. T here are seve ral courses which could a ttrac t them :

1. To isolate South V ietnam by cu tt­ing the pen insu la in two. A pincer m ove­m ent w ould divide it at the sam e time from th e coast and from Thailand. The

principal problem in fact is to cut the Ho Chi Minh trail. "This pipeline is our b e te noire,” one of the Am erican general s told me, “as long as it rem ains open, th e war cannot be w on.” But the terrain for this operation is very bad, and one would need considerable for­ces to h old it.

2. To invade North Vietnam . This o p era tion has been studied by the ge­neral staff, who concluded that the ideal landing place would be Vinh, a little to the North of the 17th parallel. The occu p a tio n of this region would cut off t he Ho Chi Minh trail at its sour­ce, and at the same tim e cu t off the Pathet L ao from the rear. Today there are unceasing attacks on Vinh, which have alm ost destroyed it.

3. To bom bard North V ietnam with evengre a te r force. Aerial attacks, which are frequen tly discussed, would hit in­dustrial instalations, the port of Hai­

phong, perhaps Hanoi itself, or even the great dam s.

4. F inally, to a ttack China itself, by bom bing atom ic stations, or new in­dustrial plants in general. I am con­vinced that this possibility is com ple­tely ru led out by the Am ericans, at least by those in Saigon. But I very m uch fe a r that the first three possibi­lities a re only so many rungs on a lad­der, wh ich threatens to lead them to the fou rth .

Personally I believe that People’s China c an n o t rem ain inactive forever before the Am erican escalation in Vi­etnam . Up till now she has been very cau tious, but tha t caution has limits.

Experts discuss w here those limits lie, and the exact position of the line they must n o t cross. Strangely enough, it is p laced farthest away by the Am eri­cans wh o are so ready to accuse China of A ggression: they flirt with the idea

that she will act only if her own fron­tiers are violated.

For m y part, I think that China fol­lows a sim ple general rule: if North Vi­etnam collapses, then she will inter­vene.

The A m erican dilemma is w hether to rem ain bogged down, or to take risks. This situa tion , which is fraught with peril fo r all the world, should deeply concern us all. We are all involved in this te rrib le war. The whole of Asia sees th a t the W est is continuing in its disastro us folly, that Christians are em ­ploying deadly weapons, that these w ea­pons ar e m assacring unarm ed but cou­rageous Asians, and that whites are killing co lo red ...

But th e dilem m a m ust seem tragic to the C om m unists as well. And I won­der w h e th e r they do not have a formi­dable w eapon in reserve: their own pea­ce proposals. W ouldn’t South Vietnam disin tegrate im m ediately under the im pact of such a bom bshell?

If the ice G eorg ians’ perform ance this w eek­end gives any indication of things to com e, then Coach A rsenau lt is going to have a few gray hairs, b e fo re the season is through.

Friday n igh t. Sir G eorge eked out a 3-3 tie against the Bishop G aitors, while on Sa­turday, they w ere trounced 10-2 by the vastly im proved U niversity of Sherbrooke team .

Salvaged a tie Lennoxville - T railing 2-1 at the end of the se­cond period th e G eorgians fought back to sal­vage a 3-3 tie against the hard hitting Bishops G aitors.

Ray L ecouffe, Tony Lees and rookie goaler Doug C ageorge, were the individual stars of the gam e fo r Sir G eorge.

Lecouffe - as ide from scoring the tying goal, was a th rea t al 1 night as he was all over the ice. Tony Lees p layed a standout defensive game while C agoerge put on a spectacular exhibi­tion of goaltending as he stopped 33 shots.

T he G eorgia ns got off to a bad start as Bis­hops scored th eir first goal at 1.43 of the initial fram e. Bill Mu rray, the younger b ro ther of the G eorgians’ Jo h n M urray, poked hom e a re­bound to give the G aitors the lead.

Bill M cJanet tied the score when Toby O’­Brien’s shot s tru c k his leg and trickled into the net.

The G aitors took the lead again when Cap­tain Willie M itchell blazed a slap shot past Dove C ageorge, at the 11.30 m ark of the se­cond period.

Holding a wide m argin in play, Bishops left the ice at the end of the second period leading 2-1. T h e score could have been m uch higher as the powerful G aitors constantly storm ed a ro u n d the G eorgians’goal but they were foiled by Cagoerge and his friends, the goal posts.

The tide turned abruptly however as the

Georgians completely dominated the play in. the third period.

Toby O’B rien tied the score at 2-2 on a 15- foot shot that caught the goaler going the wrong way.

Bill M urray scored his second goal of the gam e to give th e G aitors a short-lived 3-2 lead.

Ray “French y” Lecouffe scored 50 seconds later to salvage a tie for the Georgians.

Ou t shot and Outscored Sherbrooke - Coach Arsenault couldn't; belie­ve his eyes as the University of Sherbrooke kept pumping goals past his frustrated goalie.

When the bu zzer finally sounded to end the game, the scoreboard read Sherbrooke 10, Sir George 2.

Goaltender Fred Gariepy faced a barrage of 48 shots but he could not be blamed for the

• loss.

The forward s were frequently caught up the ice and the defencem en seemed to have the Christmas spir it in them as they were constant­ly giving the puck away to the opposing for­wards.

Sherbrooke got off to a flying start, coming out of the first period with a 4-0 lead.

In the secon d period, the Sherbrooke team pumped in three more goals while the Geor­gians managed but one on a superb effort by Toby O’brien.

In the third period, O’Brien scored his se­cond goal of th e game to cut the ma gin to 7-2 but Sherbrook e scored three more goals before the buzzer sounded to emerge with their 10-2 win.

ICE CHIPS: lohn Murray aggravated his ankle injury in the game against Sherbrooke and should he miss a few games, the team will be at a big disadvantage. Gord Ross and Bill Ellyett are also on the sidelines... Coach Arse­nault has decid ed to go with Cageorge and Ga­riepy as his goaltenders while John Morrison will be sent to the Jayvees to gain experience.

D e s p i te 31 points by C a m p o l l i

Cagers lose to BishopsT he Varsity basketball team

lost it’s second gam e of the season this past Saturday, whi­le at the sam e time, Richie Campolli indicated that he is destined to becom e one of the top stars in th e ' Ottawa-St. Lawrence A thletic A ssociation league.

Campolli, a form er A m eri­can high school sensation, sco­red 31 points in a losing cause as Sir G eorge was defeated 75-56 by Bishops G aitors. Ri­chie accoun ted for 10 of the 11 points scored by the G eorgians in the first half before breaking loose for a 21 point second half.

Unbelievable first half Head C oach Fred W hitacre

perhaps best sum m arized his team 's first half when he sta­ted; “For awhile, I thought Bishops might shut us o u t.”

This statem ent had more tru th attached to it than might have been intended. The G eor­gians did not m anage to hit the scoreboard until the seven m inute m ark when Rod W ard scored a point on a free throw. Until that time. Bishops had held an 8-0 lead as Sir G eorge simply could not hit on any field goal attem pts.

By half time, the Georgians had m anaged a total of only 11 points with all five field goals cred ited to Campolli.

Despite this incredibly low total of 11 points, the Varsity w ere not outplayed or outhust- led by the G aiters - simply outshot. The Georgians had only two less shots in that half but Bishops cashed in on their opportunities for a 30-11 half tim e lead.However, as W hitacre has sta­

ted throughout these early weeks of play," It doesn 't m at­ter how many great plays you m ake, if you can ’t out the ball through the hoop”.

m ould to-gether and look like a cohesive ballclub during the second half. They m atched the powerful G aiters basket for basket as both team s scored 45 points apiece, in that stanza.

Campolli and Rod W ard hit hot streaks with 21 and 15 points respectively in the second half alone.

For the second gam e in a row W ard dem onstrated his trem en­dous basketball potential as he

rushed the length of the court in exciting style. A nother point worth m entioning is that he m anaged to avoid foul trouble which up to now has been the only factor cutting down on his effectiveness.

However, a team cannot win gam es when only two of it’s m em bers play well, and such was the case Saturday.

The rem aining team m em ­bers could account for only 10 points am ong them with Wilf Jackson and Mike Hirsch scoring 4 and 3 points respec­tively.

Captain Brian Cunliffe m ana­ged only 2 points although he did m anage do a good job of shadowing Bishops top star Pete M unzar-hold ing him to only 9 points in the first half.

Wilf Jackson continues to be a mystery as he struggles to re­gain his scoring touch. Jackson had num erous scoring opportu ­nities throughout the contest and if not for his erratic shoo­ting, would have been in double figures at the end of the game. On two occasions Jackson mis­sed easy lay-ups when he had broken into the clear with no Bishops player close enough to bo ther him.

Three games this weekThe Georgians play their

first gam e in the City Inter­collegiate Basketball League this Tuesday evening when they m eet the University of M ontreal five at College Brebeuf - 3200 Cote St. C atherine Road. Last week, Loyola trounced this sam e M ontreal squad 104-55 so it will be interesting to wit­ness the com parison of the two teams.

Next Friday evening the vi­siting Albany College of Phar­macy play Sir G eorge at the

M ont St. Louis gym. G am ti­me is seven o ’clock for this en­counter.

Swimmers second in meetby S tev e RICHMAN

An all-out team effort in th e final minutes fell short as the Sir G eorge swimmers p laced second in the Laval Relays in Q uebec City, this past w eek-end. Laval p laced firs t-a mere three points ahead of the G eorg ians while the University of M ontreal p laced third.

M isfortune befell the G eorg ians in the fourth event as a dispute arose as to w hether one of the Sir George swimmers should have been disqualified or not. After a twenty-minute conference, the decision we nt against the Georgians-wiping out their second place finish in that event. As it was, they have lost that race, by a tent h of a second.

A fter the half-time break, the G eorgians had to win the re- mainging three relays to wi n the m eet. They alm ost did it. They clobbered the o ther tw o team s in the next two events and then, the m eet rested on the outcom e of the final event. U nfortunately, their trem endous effort could m anage them only a second place in this event and consequently, they placed second in the m eet.

Several factors m ust be tak en into consideration in order to account for the loss. The a bsence of Pan-Am erican com pe­titors Clifford Barry and M ike Florian - who had a water- po logam e on the sam e day - took a definite toll on the team . Due to their absence, the o th e r swimmers were forced to swim th ree and four events a piece. This, needless to say, is quite a difficult task u n d e r which the G eorgians held up well.

O utstanding perform ances were turned in by Peter Cross, Ken Ransom and Pierre D ussault, who swam four events each-three of which were consecutive. A nother standout was big John Irving who sw am a blistering final leg of the backstroke relay to overcom e a 3 /4 of a length lead to win by that sam e distance.

T he final team tally gave Sir G eorge four first place fi­nishes, one second place, the o ther being nullified by disqua­lification - and one third plac e - quite a good showing for the first m eet of the year.

The OSLAA cham ps next m eet will be held at McGill U- niversity this com ing w eek-end and will be hosted by the University of M ontreal. It w ill be a relay m eet with five par­ticipant schools and it looks to be ano ther exciting m eet. T he m eet will be staged Satu rday at 1 P.M. at the Sir A rthur Currie Swimming pool.
