K-W underground paper published An underground paper is mak-

ing a small start on the streets of Ki tchener .

Called Fucke : the Kitchener Free Press,/ its first issue had a paid circulation of only 100. Edi- tor Kurt Glemser, a student at Kitchener’s Grand River high- school, plans to sell 200 copies of his second issue.

Distributed main1 y among high- school-age kids in the downtown area, the first issue covered main-

ly sex, drugs and cop hassles. “It’s all stuff that will never

make the Record,” said Glemser. The second issue has less em-

phasis, on sex and drugs and more - on the implications of long hair.

The mimeographed paper is selling for 30 cents a copy. Mail- ed subscriptions (12 issues for $3) can be ordered from Kurt Glemser, 439 King street, Kitchen- er.

Total enrollment up ten percent An increase of about 1000 stu-

dents is registrar Trevor Boyes’ prediction for the 69-70 year. This places the total Waterloo enroll- ment ‘at slightly over 10,000 stu- dents.

Much of the increase in overall enrollment is credited to a great- er number of returning second- and third-year students.

Most faculties are fully enrolled, however room still remains for a few students in arts and science.

Once again approximately two of every three students applying for engineering were turned away, accounting for that faculty’s rapid fulfillment of their 650-student quota.

Due to available lab space, this

is the maximum number of engi- neers the* university can handle, Bo yes explained.

With math already slightly over enrolled, Boy& feels a simi- lar situation could appear in arts, where up to 850 students may be accepted--up 100 from last year.

Students will be unable to register this year until a complete and workable timetable is obtain- ed.

Scheduling and registration areas have been set up in the phys ed building in a manner which Boyes feels will ensure relatively efficient processing over the three-day registration period.

A subscription ice included in their annual student fees entitles U of W students to receive the Chevron by maif during off-campus terms. Non-students: $8 annually, $3 a term.

Possible dissolution faces weak CWS PORT ARTHUR (CUP)-Fin-

ancially crippled and riven intern- ally by attacks from both radicals and moderates, the Canadian Un- ion of Students staggered out of, its 33rd annual congress facing the very real possibility of dissolu- tion by Christmas.

And perhaps more importantly, the congress had not come to grips with the ‘charges laid by radical delegates, observers and members of the former CUS secretariat that the national organizatioin faced total irrelevance if it did not struggle to alter its nature and that of the students councils which form its base.

When the final plenary session of the congress broke off at 6 a.m. Wednesday September 3, more than a third of the items on the order paper still remained to be debated and passed; but the meeting could not go on in face of the increasingly bitter antagon- isms raised as radicals insisted the structure of CUS rather than moderate programs held the key to rebuilding the union.

“A lot of people here are going to return to campus and not do very much,” charged Barry McPeake, last year’s CUS Atlantic field- worker and chairman of the con- gress until he spoke at the final plenary.

“People have to make a choice,” he said. “Either they fulfil1 the implications of the content of our motions in action and in words, or they sustain the structures which have lead to failure in the past. ”

“That choice may mean stay- ing on their students councils, or getting the hell off. And when the real crunch comes, they’re going to stay on council. ”

“The choice lies not in keeping the structure, ” McPeake said. “We have to destroy them or tear them apart so they will serve the people. ”

But McPeake’s charges met bit- ter denunciation from John Gall- agher, a member of the incoming CUS secretariate, who labelled the radicals opportunistic and supported the position taken by incoming CUS president Martin Loney-that the union must con- centrate on organizing students around issues such as housing and unemployment rather than a rad- ical analysis of society.

“You’re not dealing with these problems in a historical way,” Gallagher said. “You have failed to come up with an alternative program. ”

The previous evening, delegates from the University of Waterloo had also tried to force a discuss- ion of CUS structure, stunning the congress by proposing the national union become an affiliate of the Industrial workers of the World, a revolutionary syndicalist organ-

Muthews’ Interim administration presi-

dent Howard Petch criticized Carleton University professor Robin Mathews for “doing noth- ing to help solve the very real problem of maintaining a healthy Canadian balance at our univer- sities. ”

Petch, who was away on vaca- tion when Mathews’ report was released, apologized to faculty and grad students from foreign countries.

“That this type of academic racism could take place in Canada is a shock and embarassment,” said Petch.

Petch said that he sympathized with Mathews’ fundamental con- cern. As a Canadian academic he believed that in normal circum-

ization smashed by police in the 1920’s.

The Waterloo proposal went down to defeat by a vote of 17 to 3, after the congress refused to allow Waterloo to withdraw its motion.

The right as well as the left was unsuccessful in forcing de- bate on the structure of CUS: a motoin put forward by the Univer- sity of Calgary, calling for the creation of a new national organ- ization, the Canadian Students’ Federation, died for lack of a seconder.

Sponsored by members of the universities of Toronto, McGill, Dalhousie and British Columbia, the resolution included a consti- tution which would have greatly restricted the ability of the new union to take political stands.

Neither the McGill nor Bristish Columbia representatives were registered as delegates to the congress, and Toronto and Dal- housie delegations refused to sup- port the actions of a minority of their members.

But the hard logic of finances may prove to be more of a decid- ing factor in the direction of CUS than either radical or moderate arguments. At the end of the cong- ress, only eight student councils

had committed themselves to the union for the coming year, al- though several other delegations committed themselves to fight for CUS in referendums.

With only 39,500 students in the union, CUS finance commis- sions predicted the organization would go “belly-up by Christmas” if critical referendums at Carleton University and the University of Toronto did not favor CUS.

Students at Carleton will vote October 13; Toronto students octo- ber 23. As many as 10 other ref- erendums may be called during the forthcoming year.

The precarious state of the union’s finances led to one change in CUS operations: selection of a president-elect, traditionally one of the duties of the fall congress, was postponed until Christmas, when the union will hold another legislative meeting.

The decision to elect Martin Loney’s successor at mid-year will also allow CUS members to evaluate the actions of the secre- tariat in view of events during the next four months.

While many programs were left undebated in the hands of the CUS national council, delegates from 33 schools who attended the

remoff shocks Petch -I-

stances- a Canadian university ought to be staffed and managed mainly by Canadians.

The main point Petch raised was the lack of constructive content in Mathews’ report.

He cited a situation in science several years ago when it became apparent that Canada could not fill its needs for university teach- ers.

“The problem was recognized early in the national research council. Funds were made avail- able for research, development of graduate programs and scholar- ships for grad students in the physical sciences.

“In science we are now more than self-sufficient in our produc- tion of native PhD’s. Canada is

r

almost self-sufficient in engineer- ing,” said Petch.

He said part of the reason that similar steps weren’t taken in the humanities and social sciences was the attitude of other faculty members who even recently questioned the value of those fields.

Petch felt Mathews should have dealt with more of the historical reasons for hiring large numbers of foreign professors for Canadian universities. The Mathews report had recommended quotas be placed on the percentage of foreign-born professors hired..

A more complete text of Petch’s historical analysis appears on page I6 of this issue.

conference-with voting rights regardless of their membership status in the union-managed to pass resolutions on some aspects of education and on the nature of the students role in society.

Delegates stated their opposi- tion to the americanization of Canadian universities, but also condemned any attempts to reg- ulate the number of American professors by means of a quota system.

“A professor’s ability to deal with the Canadian reality is not always based on his nationality,” they noted.

The delegates also called for an end to authoritarianism in educa- tion, and presented demands which would lead to the develop- ment of a “critical university”- one which would do more than act as an apologist for the status quo.

The present educational system, delegates said, “prepares the stu- dent to fit uncritically into the corporate capitalist structure, ” without questioning the social and moral effects of the system.

“The students in the classroom

should be in control in the class- ’ room and should be actively par- ticipating in the classroom,” one delegate said.

As well as class-room democracy and student parity on academic decision-making bodies as well as hiring, firing and promotion com- mittees, the congress demanded that other university services, such as bookstores, libraries and food services be democratized and organized on a cooperative basis.

“The existence of these author- itarian systems at the university effectively continues the social- ization begun in the public school system, ” the delegates said.

The congress< also called for students to struggle against the development of the mid-Canada I corridor, a corporate and govern- ment plan to create an urbanized, ,. industrial strip of land just south of the Arctic regions.

The congress noted the plan would, in effect, be another ten- tacle of American control of Cana- da, and added that “any nation which values its independence and sovereignity must have control of the development and dispensa- tion of its natural resources. ”

Report establishes Can. studies program

A modest proposal became an established institute in the middle of the recent debate on the Amer- icanization of the University of Waterloo.

In rebutting the Mathews re- port, local spokesmen pointed with pride to the new institute for Canadian studies that Mathews had failed to mention.

“Four of the departments under attack set up an institute for Cana- dian studies. about two months ago, ” said the K-W Record. The story appeared in other replies to the Mathews report.

The institute, however, has no basis as yet. Its only physical existence before the Mathews report was in a public memo from history professor Leo Johnson requesting opinions on the pro- posal. The memo contained a list of existing courses with a least partial Canadian content.

Interim administration presi- dent Howard Petch said the senate would have to approve such an institute, and as yet there has not even been a formal brief pre- sented to senate.

Env. studies stress broad approach

“We’re looking for students who are concerned with what is going on around them in a broad sense, and want to learn more about it”

That is what man-environment prof Jack Ellis sees as the aim of this new division of environmental studies.

The man-environment depart- ment basically will leave students free to utilize knowledge of all aspects of their surrounding, in- stead of the traditional course where one or two specific subjects are concentrated on.

A major feature of the depart- ment will be seminar workshops.

“By bringing several professors together from various fields to talk with groups of students, a common footing will develop, since much of what is discussed will be as new to most of the pro- fessors as it will to students,” Ellis explained. Through this setup, Ellis sees a new learning style developing.

The interdisciplinary aspect of man-environment, using‘resources from arts, science, math, and others comes as a contrast to the profession seeking environmen- tal studies courses such as archi- tecture and planning. By teaming students from man-environment with those from these profession- al courses, for various projects, Ellis forsees both types of courses benefiting.

As well many of the courses offered to man-environment stu- dents will be open to a limited number of other students (approx- imately 50 per course) allowing for even further interaction.

Ellis does not forsee the depart- ment becoming primarily concern- ed with the university environ- ment. He does feel however that the very nature of the program will make students more aware of changes affecting them on cam- pus. Problems relating generally to Canada in the 20th century, and Waterloo county specific- ally be one important area of study for first year students.

What the department will em- body after the first year is not too definite. With the limited number of students in the divis- ion (25-30), Ellis feels a working relationship will develop where students will have much to say about the direction their program is taking.

As a student progresses it is ’ hoped he will tend more to a research approach to the course, focusing on problems that exist instead of unrelated learning.

As well, students will be en- couraged to answer any questions their research raised, as a prac- tical benefit.

“It should be an interesting experiment” Ellis concluded.

Clieni eng students to help choose chairman In what may be a precedent for other departments to follow, a student is now represented on the them eng selection committee for a department chairman.

The idea for student representa- tion on the committee first appeared at the july 7 meeting of the them eng department. The department felt, as them eng prof Robert Huang stated, “student participation at this level would be particularly mean- ingful”, and accordingly recom- mended to engineering dean Ar- chic Sherbourne that a grad stu- dent be placed on the committee.

Several members of the de- partment expressed doubt that

Sherbourne would accept the pro- posal, but he did. .

Bob Rosehart, grad them eng, will sit on the committee with three them eng faculty members, one faculty member outside the department, the engineering dean, (Sherbourne is on a one year sabbatical, leaving asso- ciate dean Ernest Holmes on the committee), and acting academic vicepresident Jay Minas.

Rosehart will have status equal to the other members of the com- mittee.

The committee has until next june when acting chairman Don- ald Spink vacates the position, to select a successor.

CAUT board backs firing

Gray to get years pay The drawn out battle between

McGill University and poli sci lecturer Stanley Gray may be finished.

A Canadian Association of Uni- versity Teachers arbitration board agreed Gray should be fired, but recommended he be given the equivalent of his salary for this year.

The McGill administration charged Gray with gross mis- conduct and subsequently re- fused to renew his contract after he disrupted two meetings last january.

Gray’s protestations led to placing the matter in the hands of the CAUT arbitration commit- tee, composed of three professors from other universities.

Dismissing the report as a political farce, Gray stated “I am being penalized for my direct action, things like Operation Mc- Gill. It was a politically biased committee, coming through with a typical decision”.

Operation McGill, which Gray helped organize, was a march of 10,000 people calling for an all- French speaking McGill late last march.

The board felt Gray should re- *ceive his $3300 salary gray re- write since it is now too late to get a job with another university for the upcoming year.

Gray will also miss out on the $5500 Canada Council grant offer-

Stanley Gray ed him earlier this year to study for his doctorate at Oxford.

A time limit of january 1970 was set for Gray’s utilization of the . grant. Because of the arbitration boards hearings, completion of the rough draft for his PhD thesis was delayed, making this date to early.

McGjll principal Rocke Rob- ertson, also fell under fire from the arbitration board for not dis- cussing the unrest on campus with Gray before things went as far as they did.

Robertson accepted the final recommendation of the board,

ipefi fo all staff As the new faculty club comes

closer to being .a reality, the membership requirements also arebecoming a bit more realistic.

Original qualifications made membership available to all faculty, but automatically ex- cluded any staff member beneath category 11. This effectively eliminated those members of staff such as secretaries and maintenance personnel.

This restriction has since gone by the board, and any staff member can join. But not a stu- dent.

“We are considering an as- sociate membership” stated club president Carl Totzke. Such a setup would enable a stu- dent to become a dues paying member if his name was sub-.

mitted by an existing member and approved by the membership committee. ’

“This number would be .limi- ted”, continued Totzke. _

Totzke voiced, the basic pur- pose af the club as a place where people involved in similar en- deavors at the university could get together and I discuss busii ness or whatever. .

“Possibly leaving the club open to students would be a good idea, but the feeling of most faculty is they would be more at ease if they weren’t there,” Tot- zke explained.

The club, schuduled for com- pletion in mid-december, will have membership dues of $6 a month and a liquor license.

Poster %destroys image" . Gid Scouts sue company

NEW YORK (GINS)-The per- sonality poster people who made that poster on your wall may be in trouble.

Personality Posters Manufac- turing Co., Inc., of New York is being sued for $1 million by the Girl Scouts of America for por- traying an apparently pregnant Girl Scout with the motto Be Prepared.

The damage suit claims the poster constituted “wanton and malicious defamation” of 3,750~ 000 Girl Scouts between the ages of 7 and 17.

The poster in question shows

a smiling, blond-haired girl in Girl Scout uniform and insignia. The suit claims the girl is depicted “in an advanced state of preg- nancy, wearing the official junior Girl Scout uniform.”

The poster, the complaint says, is “intended to impute unchastity and moral turpitude to members. ” Moreover, it continues, the poster is designed to destroy the association of Girl Scout aims with “truth, helpfulness, frie,nd- liness, courtesy purity, kindness, obedience, cheerfulness, thrift- iness and kindred virtus among girls. ”

At the end of the game, a printed sheet showing the hands with an analysis of each was given out. The analysis was prepared by a panel of experts who commented on the bidding and the playing of each hand. The players could then com- pare their results to these given and determine where they had _ made mistakes.

The following was one of the interesting hands.

West dealt’ with neither vulner- able.

The experts ’ analysis on this hand was:

“Six hearts is ‘off the top’ on the N-S cards, but the bidding offers more of a test than the play. North faces the first pitfall; he is off to a

good start if he opens 1H (his side will have little chance to reach 6H if he passes).

“After north opens, south, with 17 points and a superb trump fit, would like to jump shift; his prob- lem is that he has no convenient suit to jump in. The possible choic- es of 25 or 3C could lead to the a- bove action or N-lH, S-3C, N-3H, S-3S, N-SNT, S-4NT, N-5D, S-6H. In this auction, north shows a dia- mond stopper for his 3NT bid and south gambles that he has the ace or the king.”

This type of game is held four times a year and is an excellent opportunity to compare your playing with that of some experts.

All bridge players are invited to- play duplicate bridge every week at the university’s bridge club. It meets every tuesday in the social- sciences lounge at 7pm with the first game to be held on September 16. Cost is 50 cents per night.

cus ifp opposition- to Americcmizution

PORT ARTHUR (CUP)-The Canadian Union of Students Con-

. gress voted almost unanimously to oppose the Americanization of Canadian universities, but re- jected a quota system that would directly restrict the number of U.S. professors teaching in Can- ada.

The delegates noted in a res- olution at the 33rd CUS Congress that “a professor’s ability to deal with Canadian reality is not always based on his nation- ality. ”

“Some American professors have the concepts and experience to understand that reality, and conversely, some Canadian pro- fessors-often trained in U.S. graduate schools present an Amer- ican discipline that has no rela- tion influence that permeate our universities, delegates decicided.

This includes : o Course content heavily load-

ed in favor of American textbooks, concepts and history (Canadian economics is taught largely from an American textbook).

e Courses where Canadian con- tent is deliberately devalued-a University of Toronto graduate student often cannot do a PhD. on only one Canadian author.

l Canadian universities doing research for American corpora- tions and military departments;

@ The prestige’positions of Amer- ican universities in certain dis- cipline9 and their effects on Cana- dian teaching in those subjects.

The Congress particularly ob- jected to the heavy emphasis on empiricist and behavioral meth- odology imported from the U.S. into Canadian subjects.

r . I .i

“The Canadian educational system services and rationalizes Canada’s colonial status within the international capitalist sys- t,em,” the resolution consluded.

The Congress resolved that all academic openings in university must be advertised in Canada: that Canadian graduate schools emphasi zing the Canadian per- spective be established to orient faculty to ward Canadian problems : and that students participate in hiring, promotion and tenure of professors, and in curriculum committees.

The criterion for hiring should be a professor’s “concern with the needs of the Canadian people, rather than strictly-( his) nation- ality, ” the resolution said,

David Leadbeater, student pres- ident of the University of Alberta, asked how such concern could be judged. “Couldn’t nationality be more important than we’ve es- tablished here? ” he said.

“We’ll just have to tell as we go along, ” responded Toronto dele- gate Bob James, mover of the resolution. “If professors at Lake- head University are looking at the problems and situations in north- ern Ontario, that might be more significant than where they come from. ”

An amendment to set up depart- ments of Canadian studies in our universities was soundly defeated.

The whole university should dis- cuss Canadian content, not just one blasted department, ” said Brandon delegate Harko Bhaget.

Toronto delegate Chris Szal- winski ‘pointed out a seperate in- stitute would not solve the pro- blem of Americanization of other courses.

AFts librbrv acqurres collection of 55,000

_ University librarian William

Watson has purchased a major collection of books from a New Hampshire dealer.

The collection, numbering some 55,000 items, will cost about a dollar a volume. Put together by Christian Verbeke, the collection is primarily from the nineteenth century.

The money will come partially from the chief librarian’s fund (set up by interim administra- tion president Howard Petch dur- ing the springlibrary crisis) and from the book budget allocations of the departments of english, history, french, economics, soc- iology and architecture.

“The collection will neatly complement the holdings of the arts library,” said Watson. “It will provide both rich research materials and additional copies of works required for undergrad- tuate studies. The amount of ma- terial not wanted in the library is unusually slight.

“The acquisition of the books, journals and prints, largely out of, print and difficult to come by, will bring to the library in a sin- gle stroke material that would otherwise take years to accumu- late by single volume purchase it it could be obtained at all.”

The principal subjects in the collection are: americana ; english

’ and american literature-particu- larly Victorian literature with many limited and signed editions; an art collection of some depth including many titles relating to architecture ; a virtually com- plete collection of the St. Domin- ic’s press with almost all of the works of Eric Gill; belle lettres;

biography; french and classical literature with ~ a number of eighteenth century works in fine bindings ; typography and travel ; works on the sea; and a great many other volumes in the human- ities and social sciences, with emphasis on history, sociology and economics.

On arrival in late august or September, the collection will go into storage because of space limi- tations in the arts library. Integra- tion into the library collection will begin in the autumn and take probably two years to complete.

Pet& fooled by back bage

It takes a sense of humor to run a university.

Interim administration president Howard Petch was one of the people who were fooled, at least temporarily, by the phony ad in the last Chevron entitled “It takes guts to run a university.”

Petch said when he first looked at the ad, he thought it was real.

He thought it was a nice ges- ture by the companies credited with sponsoring the ad, but felt they could have done a better job

d ne of the companies, the Royal Bank, complained about being included in the list and asked that they be consulted before their name is used in a similar manner in future.

Another company which did not identify itself asked how much they owed.

The University is now in the throes, of a search; a Committee has been meeting which includes student representatives -as well as representation from faculty, staff the Board of Governors and alumni. Nominations or applications may be submitted, in confidence by anyone interested to any member of the Committee, or to J. W. Brown, Sec- retary, Presidential Search Commit- tee, Dana Porter Arts Library Build- ing, University of Waterloo. /

The Committee is now. siftmg through a list of names and those whose qualifications are most ob- vious will be- invited to visit the campus.. s to make their. assessment of the University and, in turn, be as- sessed by its members. They will be invited to meet with administrators, professors and with students; at such a time any student on campus will be free to question nominees or express his reaction to them to Committee members. . _

How University of Waterloo campus works for you is illustrated with a slightly outdated map and

If you have your copy, find your way there anyway; it is the place to get help and infor- mation... from the Dean, Associate Dean for Undergraduate Affairs, Arts Counsellors, or their, Assist- ants.

A small section on the counsell- ing center-one of the few depart- ments in the university which actu- ally does work for the students- lists typical problems for which the student might seek solutions from the counsellors. In’what ap- pears to be an effort to keep the Gazette suitable as family enter- tainment, it has omitted -mention- ing what is often the number one problem for freshmen-matters pertaining to sex.

Unintentionally = satirical and blatantly insulting, this issue of the Gazette contains such terrible pro- paganda that even the administra- tion that sponsors it must wince.-

Most students seem to fit into the university environment without too much difficulty...but problems sometimes do arise. Some-students find difficulty adjusting to the large classes, the lecture system, or resi- dence living; others- begin to doubt the suitability of the programs they * have selected.

Sometimes difficulties relate to what has been called the ‘doctor complex”... the freshman is some- what overwhelmed in the presence of a scholar who may have a world reputation in his field and a corn- munications gap opens up between them. (There is a positive4 side to this-some students. derive a great deal of I inspiration through con tact with a first c’lass professorial intell- ect).

A number of resources are avail- able to help students relate to the

university more effectively. Some faculties have established tutorial systems assigned

whereby each professor is a small group of freshmen

whom he serves as counsellor. This works very well at times, although it is ‘no panacea. ..indeed, there is no panacea.

The UniversityIs position is that the student should be free to seek his own counsellor, be it the faculty tutor, a senior student, the Associ- ate Dean, the Counselling Services Office or perhaps even a member of the administrative staff

By and large, however, the pro- fessor is tlie key to a satisfactory university experience and thus much inevitably depends on his personal commitment to his classes. Yet if, the professor can be said to have a considerable responsibility, it ‘can also be said that the student h-as a responsibility of his own... to informr the professor as to stumbling blocks which may inhibit their relationship.

in which we reintroduce ourselves and ponder presidents pro tern who tend to become permanent.

The search (election is so unacademic) for a new administration pre- sident for this institution has been all but non-existent for those of us who do not read obscure reports in the Faculty Association newsletter or the administration’s Gazette, or, heaven forbid, sit on the presidential search committee itself.

For the closed committee has been remarkably free of leaks. Which means one of two things: either the committee members hold a very high esteem for themselves and their task or else they aren’t doing any- thing.

While both alternatives are equally probable or even concurrent, there are of course more important matters. Such as, who indeed will become permanent administration president.

* * * In our last deliberations on the matter in the depths of winter we had

cleared the way for that reluctant knight in naive armor, Howard Earle Petch, who now wears the mantle of interim administration president- or pro tern if you are so inclined.

Whilst perusing the press in the past few months, we have perchanced upon some most interesting coincidences in the filling of vacant ad- ministration presidencies at certain more famous North American insti- tutions of higher training.

At Sir George Williams University in Montreal, scene of an altercation . of some degree, the board of governors has recently named their admin-

istration president pro tern to a permanent status, citing his well-policed performance under fire, if you will excuse the puns.

Similarly, the board of trustees of San Francisco State College elevat- ed their acting president Sam Hayakawa to a status with more perman- ence. The trustees congratulated their boy for prowess in maintaining law and order. Achieving recognition in that field is no small achieve- ment in the state of California.

* * * Still a third president pro tern to achieve permanence is Simon Fraser

University’s Kenny Strand. All presidents pro tern protest that they have no wish to keep their posts, but Strand went one step further-he pledged to be acting president for only a year and that he would never under any circumstances be a candidate for the permanent presidency.

That was last summer at the height of one of SFU’s many detestable , crises. Kenny was a compromise acceptable to students, faculty and the

people who run the university-and he became the fourth person to oc- cupy (officially that is) the president’s office at SFU in less than a month. ”

Strand was to preside over more crises, which is not particularly rele- vant at this time, as well as participate in the deliberations of the presi- dential search committee.

As Strand’s one-year-and-no-more rolled to a close, the committee des- paired of finding anyone else suitable and asked Kenny to withdraw from their closed meetings. Shortly thereafter, the committee announced that they were requesting that the faculty and students release Strand from his pledge so the way would be open for them to offer him the adminis- tration presidency. It was all very proper.

The faculty assented to the request, for Strand was well respectful of the desires and aspirations of the landed gentry. The student council nearly did likewise, but a small vociferous minority insisted on a refer- endum. The outcome of the vote is expected to follow the pattern set un- der certain totalitarian regimes which practice democracy with one name on the ballot.

All of this augurs well for our friend and Howie Petch. He has never really stated he would not take the job, and conveniently enough, he is not a member of the presidential search committee and remains quite

. aloof from its functioning. * * *

Owing to our absence from the public eye for some months, we would like to indulge in some further idle gossip and chauvinistic chatter.

We are pleased to see that Howie Petch has finally taken his alliance with arts dean Jay Minas through the proper diplomatic channels.

Now that he’s academic vicepresident pro tern, Jay can perform his duties as philosopher of the counter-revolution and Howie Petch’s right- hand man without anyone questioning his legitimacy. They make a fine team.

We have predicted that development not once, but twice.

“One never hears about the ninety percent of youth who are law-abiding, clean, and studious, and don’t concern them- selves with war, bigotry, and human rights. ”

was on vacation when Robin Mathews’ report on the Americanization of the University of Waterloo was released.

The following statement, dated 3 September, dis- cuss some of the problems which resulted in an in- creasing number of American professors being hired by Canadian universities. The text is slightly abrid- ged.

by Howard Petch

The University of Waterloo is a Canadian institu- tion. Our primary aim is to provide relevant pro- grams in higher education for Canadians and to conduct research of which a good portion will be aimed specifically at Canadian problems.

Ninety-two percent of our 5,000 alumni are living and working in Canada. More than 90 percent of our 10,000 students are Canadians. We do not have a head count of citizenship of 1500 staff members but I would be very much surprised if fewer than 90 percent were Canadians.

Nor do we have a head count by citizenship of the 600 members of our faculty. By adopting the Mathews criterion of using the university where a person took his first degl’ee as an indication of cit- izenship, it would appear that between 55 and 60 per cent of our faculty members are Canadian and few-. er than 20 per cent are American. Of those from other countries, we do not know how many are now Canadian citizens or landed immigrants.

We do not know these things because they are relatively unimportant. The important factors are the competence of the faculty, the content of courses, and the quality of teaching and scholarly work. We have sought, we are seeking, and we shall continue to seek excellence in all of these areas.

From a consideration of seven of our 34 depart- ments, Mathews accuses the 1Jniversity of Water- loo of de-Canadianization and over-Americaniza- tion and goes on to hurl this charge at Canadian universities in general. There was no attempt to examine how and why faculty members are hired, no attempt to understand the development of the universities in Canada and of the University of Waterloo in particular, and no attempt to discuss these matters with people who could provide the information.

In normal circumstances a Canadian university ought to be staffed and managed mainly by Cana- dians. But circumstances have not been normal for Canadian universities for the past decade. This period has seen a growth in student numbers un- precendented in our country’s history.

According to the Dominion bureau of statistics, (DBS) the enrollment of full-time university stu- dents increased from 158,388 in 1963-64 to 270,093 in 1968-69, a total increase of 111,705 in a five-year period. The corresponding increase in Ontario alone was 48,398.

This has created an enormous need for buildings and university teachers. If one uses the common ratio of 15 students to one professor, the above increase in enrolled students developed a require- ment for 7447 additional professors in Canada and for 3227 in Ontario alone.

The phsical facilities needed to keep up with the everYgrowing number of students have been pro- vided primarily through financial assistance from the Provincial governments. A much greater pro- blem has been to staff the universities because of the length of time it takes to prepare a university teacher.

For a university which plans to offer both under- graduate and graduate education, it is generally conceded that in most fields the minimum quali- fication for a university teacher is a Ph. D. degree or equivalent. Thus the potential university teacher must spend, after completing highschool, approxi- mately eight years at university of which four will have been spent in graduate studies.

Again according to DBS, Canadian univervities awarded PhD degrees to a total of 3541 candidates in all fields between 1963 and 1968. Of these, some would be hired by industry and business; some by government; some would go on for postdoctoral studies; some would emigrate to the US and some non-Canadians would. return to their country of origin. Perhaps two-thirds, or only 2361 were avail- able to meet the need for university teachers in all of Canada which we had calculated to be 7447.

In other words, there was about one PhD graduate from a Canadian university for every three uni- versity positions potentially available. In fact, the total output of potentially available university teachers by all the universities in Canada was not sufficient to meet the needs of Ontario alone.

native To make the picture even bleaker, the distribu-

tion of PhD’s granted in the various subjects is very uneven. Because of .a lack of financial support for graduate students and research in the human- ities and social sciences, growth in graduate stud- ies in these areas has lagged behind that which has taken place in the natural and applied sciences.

In 1963, the Ontario graduate fellowship scheme was introduced with the primary aim of increasing the number of university teachers in the human- ities and social sciences. This is still the most far- sighted and imaginative scholarship programme at the graduate level undertaken by any provin- cial government but its benefits are only beginning to be felt as far as the supply of university teachers is concerned.

A few dramatic examples might help to emph- asize this point. During the past five years, Cana- dian universities produced only four PhD’s in sociology yet in this same period, the staffs of the sociology departments at the Universities of Wat- erloo and Alberta, singled out for particular abuse by Mathews, grew from zero to 14 and from 3 to 31, respectively.

,

There were no PhD’s granted in five arts. five in anthropology, five in political science and 21 in economics in the same 5-year period. In other areas, we find that the PhD production has been running at approximately 10 a year in history and a little better than 15 a year in english and philo- sophy, although a substantial improvement is be- ginning to appear. \

In such a situation one might well ask how the universities have been able to maintain the bal- ance of Canadian staff as high as it is. The ans- wer is that during this period while our graduate schools have- been building up, other countries, particularly the U.S., have accepted and have fin- ancially supported and educated in their univer- sities large numbers of Canadian graduate students. Many of these have returned to Canada to accept teaching posts in our universities.

The. problem has been particularly acute in the social sciences because of the lack of a foundation on whicli to build. Even at major Canadian uni- versities the development of full undergraduate programs in the social sciences is very recent. ’ Consequently, we were not even turning out suffi- cient social scientists at the BA level who could go to other countries for advanced training and re- turn as professors.

The social sciences are primarily an American development and in these areas the graduate schools in the U.S. are the best in the world. It has been natural therefore for the Canadian un- iversities to seek professors for the social sciences in the United Sates.

Since Mathews has attacked Americans in par- ticular, I should point out certain advantages in re- cruiting Americans in a time of a severe shortage of Canadians. Neither language nor major cultural difference create problems and the Canadian and American university systems are so similar that Americans find it easy to adjust to our ways. These factors make it particularly easy for a Canadian university to assimilate American professors.

Thus, the picture o$ development we find in the universities is that on the average, student en- rollment has been growing at about three times the rate at which potential university teachers were being graduated by the Canadian universities, but the situation is much worse in certain subjects.

The various alternatives open to the universities would have been to refuse admission to thousands of students.; to hire professors from other count- ries; to hire unqualified persons or to allow the student-to-professor ratio to deteriorate to an im- possible level. The universities have chosen to hire professors from other countries: any other choice would have led to a national disaster.

This imbalance of supply and demand for uni- versity professors in Canada is a temporary prob- lem. Already graduate st.udies in the natural and applied sciences have been developed to the point that the universities are meeting the demands of industry, government and the universities for PhD graduates. Comparable development in the hu- manities and the social sciences has been impossible because of the lack of financial support for grad- uate students and scholarly work in these areas. If such support were made available now on a sufficient scale it is possible that within ten years Canada could be self supporting in terms of uni- versity professors.

Students should share in running departments

Waterloo is a good university, not a perfect one. I’ think studtints should share in the government of the university at all levels, includ- ing the administration of depart- ments. Actually though, this is, a view which is thoroughly determin- ed by self-interest: technically I am still a student of the University of -Toron to. ,

I agree with you that not many of my colleagues like the idea of students interfering in departfnen- ta1 affairs. You may be interested ’ to know that the Waterloo English department has a regulation per,- mitting student participation in committee work. So far no stud-’ ents have shown any interest in doing so.

As I say, Waterloo has some .way to go yet.

Letter to Silly Graham questions his priorities

I have something to say on be- ~half of university students ‘in the form of an open letter to Billy Graham :

On august 23 I watched your crusade from Melbourne Austra- lia which was attended 75 per cent by people under twenty-five.

Mr. Graham, I am under twenty-five and very disappointed because you failed tb mention any of my concerns. However, I was

,grateful that- you acknowledged my existen&; Iaam one of tbse university-bred skeptical youths who asked you all of those-boring questions $. Harvard,, Yale, Cam-

ham is: how do you stand on civil rights in America, South Africa and Ulster; U.S. jmperia- lism and military intervention in southeast Asia and Latin Amer- ica;- Athe p?ranoic stockpiling, to! . gtomic < weapons; gen&ide in Biafra ; sttidents’ rights, on &i-n-. pus ; and the plight of all the un--

_ derprivileged in world societi\es? Like Jesus, Mr. Graham, you ,

tried to speak in the language of your au,dience, but you faile,dj to- speak about those ‘issues which concern all reasonable, aware, and “religious” youth of today. Mr. Graham, it is inconceivable that you cou!d be u&ware of --- this fact, and I can only conclude that you have copped out. And what is more tragic i.s that you have encouraged many thous- ands of religiously insecure youths to do the same.

Mr. Graham, Jesus was a re- ,’ ligous and necessarily political radical who wasn’t afraid to’rock the boa;t.

feedback ’ The poetry corner rettirns: the aardwold is a quadruped

I have been reading with con- siderable interest and occasional amusement the published accounts of a seminar called “The news- paper in the classroom,” which has been going on at the uni- versity this past week. What particularly attracted my atten- tion was an item in the K-W Re- cord, quoting Norman Smith of the Ottawa Journal: Mr. Smith has made the startling discovery that people read bad news.

They pass right over the cheer- ing items, according to Mr. Smith, and focus their attention on bad news. Well, I took this to heart, and tried my best to find a cheer- ing item. The front page was

.

TODAY’S CHEERING NEWS I’ve read my paper, page by page, from top to bottom, A to Zed, and all was bad news save for this “The aardwbld is a quadruped. ”

I found that filler on page 2; It helped to soothe my aching head; for heretofore I never knew the aardwold was a quadruped.

ali filled with war, hurricane, religious riots, etc., which of course I wasn’t supposed to no- tice; and it was somewhat diffi- cult to locate something cheer- ing, but finally I found it tucked away on page 2-- a filler item stating that the aardwold is a quadruped. Isn ‘t that edifying?

I felt that the discovery ought to be immortalized in verse, just to prove that the reader doesn’t ALWAYS pass up the cheering items and “give more attention to the bad news” as Norman Smith alleges. The result is en- closed.

History texts distort facts by James Glenn Toronto highschool teacher

The Toronto board of educa- tion’s regulations state: “. . . tea- chers shall . . . refrain from ex- pressing anywhere opinions ad- verse to British institutions or sentiments disloyal to the Crown. ” The Ontario department of educa- tion goes one better: “The teacher shall inculcate by precept and ex- ample respect for religion and principles of Christian morality, and the highest regard for love of country, humanity, sobriety, in- dustry, purity, temperance and all other virtues.” (Schools admini- stration act, section 25.)

We are told we must n9t intro- duce politics into the schools, but is our school system really non- political? Even a cursory examin- atibn would show that our educa- tional system is not a political vac- uum.

The schools themselves are con- cerned with educating the students at a tender age to accept the pre- sent order of things in the world today. Much of the school time is devoted to making sure the stu- dents come out of school with the right political thoughts in their heads.

The most revealing evidence of this is the textbooks. Can we con- sider these texts as neutral, un- biased or non-political? Let’s ex- amine some - the grade 9 his- tory text Proud Ages by George E. Tait sums up the life of Cecil Rhodes in this way: “Rhodes will always be remembered as one of the great builders of the British empire . . . with respect. and ad-

miration, too, for #his connection with the Rhodes scholarships. ”

Tait neglects to mention that Rhodes made millions of dollars by forcing the black people of South Africa to work mining dia- monds for him. In return he gave them starvation, brutal oppression and an inhuman way of life. He doesn’t mention that Rhodes was a great believer in apartheid nor the fact that the British empire was founded and maintained by exploiting peoples around the world.

In the section Problems of Modern A m erican democracy in the history text Modern Era by J. C. Ricker and J. T: Saywell, one of the problems mentioned is American trade unions. It is point- ed out that they could be “a menace to the individual in a dem- ocracy”. This stands in sharp con- tradiction to the real world where trade unions are involved in con- tinuous battles to protect the in- terests of the working people against the big monopoly busi- ness.

Later on in this section, the authors talk about the “fabulous prosperity” which allows the U.S. to give generous gifts, loans and technical assistance . . . to show her, goodwill to all nations and buttress the poorer countries against Communism by increas- ing their prosperity”.

Every word oi this is false. Car- 10s Fuentes, a famed Mexican novelist, points out in his 1962 essay A Latin American Speaks to North Americans where that “fabulous prosperity” comes from. Speaking to the U. S. he

says : “Between 1950 and 1955 you invested 2 billion dollars (in Latin America), made 3% billion and took back to the States IV2 bill- ion.” He explains that the Alli- ance for Progress (the U. S. aid plan for Latin America) means simply that a few crumbs get tossed back to Latin America . . . And do these crumbs go to the people? Fuentes tells us that it all goes into the “bank accounts of a handful of people. to the im- portation of luxurious automo- biles . . . *’ And the people of Latin America continue to starve.

And what do these textbooks say about south east Asia - about Vietnam’? ‘In W. Bruce Braud and John K. Wood’s Geography for Canadians the American military is justified in invading Vietnam because ‘. . . . the new nations are not wealthy enough to maintain the large military forces neces- sary to destroy those sizeable Communist rebel groups”.

The real reasons for the U. S. aggression in Vietnam have noth- ing to do with protecting the Vietnamese. The late ex-presi- dent Eisenhower stated it clearly as early as 1953 when he said: “Let us assume we lost Indo- China (including Vietnam). If Indo-China goes several things happen right away. The tin and tungsten that we so greatly value in that area would cease com- ing. . . . So when the U. S. votes $4,000,000 to help the war, we are not voting a give-away program. We are voting for the cheapest way that we can prevent the occurrence of something that would be of a most terrible signi- ficance to the U.S., our security, our power and ability. to get cer- tain things from the riches of Indo-Chinese territory and from south east Asia. ”

As Eisenhower clearly stated, the U.S. is in Vietnam to protect profit not people - .U.S. profit. And they are having to fight the whole Vietnamese people to do it. As the American generals have said over and over again to the troops, they can’t trust any Viet-

-namese person even if he is sup- posed to be a friendly one. The U. S. troops are invaders in a for- eign land and there can be no peace in Vietnam until they get out.

Pretty soon one begins to under- stand what “brainwashing” really is - it’s the process that takes place in Canadian schools. The problem is that teachers and students have little or no control over the school system. It is im- possible for a few individuals to rectify this alone.

PPcdP spends $8000 but. l .

New signs muddled and contrary to international standard u.se by Bob Verdun Chevron staff

Suppose you had $8000 and wanted a complete road-sign system for your 250:acre playground.

If you were an architect, you would probably know to consult a graphic designer.

If you weren’t, you’d probably take your example from an effective sign system such as the one at expo 67.

If you were an architect, you would ensure that wherever applicable, you would use the standard (and often international) symbols.

If you weren’t, you’d still probably use standard signs where applicable and common sense other- wise.

The university’s physical-plant and planning de- partment recently installed $8000 worth of new road signs-without consulting a graphic designer ; without following expo’s effective lead; without using either standard or international symbols ; and without any common sense.

Most amazing is that PP&P’s director Bill Lobban is an architect. If he reads the professional journal published by the architects’ licensing body, he should know that architects desiring a sign system should consult a graphic designer with some ex- perience in the use of signs. PP&P’s signs, how- ever, were designed by a PP&P’s draftsman. No one in the university’s graphic services department was approached.

Brief perusal of the november 1967 issue of the Canadian architects’ professional journal shows that PP&P’s new sign system ignores almost every policy including the use of a knowledgable consult- ant.

The only redeeming feature of the sign system is that the basic design is consistent-a black two- legged frame enclosing a rectangular sign.

The most blatant bungle is the use of non-standard designs for such common traffic instructions STOP and YIELD. These particular signs are among the many that ar’e becoming standard in- ternationally.

The NO EXIT sign will be easily mistaken for a stop sign.

Confusion aside, you can buy a lot of standard stop signs at $15 each with $8000. But then $8000 is a drop in the bucket by PP&P standards.

But that’s just the beginning of the problems. Most of the lettering on the other signs is too

small to be &sily comprehended by a passing mot- orist. Many of the signs face parallel to the race- way and cannot be read until the car is opposite the sign.

The lettering, for “unauthorized vehicles will be towed away” is just plain inconspicuous.

All of the lettering on the signs is in capital let- ters. A graphic designer would know that studies have shown lower case letters are much more comprehensible.

The direction signs to the Village have white arrows on a gold background. At night under headlights, the white and gold are indistinguish- able, except at v.ery close range.

Some of the illustrations are inappropriate. The silhouette of the central services complex looks as much like a church as anything else. The vehicle on the parking lot signs is a station-wagon-but maybe we should be happy they didn’t use a Cadi- llac or something equally uncommon.

Another of the signs whose arrows disappear in after-dark headlights: this one had an added funny until PPandP realized St. Paul S wasn’t spelled R-e-n-e-s-o-n and changed it,

/Al POLfTlCS--

This hoax cost a trillion dollars in 25 years by 1. F. Stone

T HE BASIC ISSUE behind the ABM debate, but rarely mentioned in it, was touched upon in the minority report from inside the Senate Armed Services Committee. Of the seven members

who voted against the ABM, three-Symington, Young of Ohio and Inouye-signed a dissenting opinion which said-

The American people have lived with fears of a Soviet at- tack for some quarter of a century, ever since World War II, and have expended a thousand billion dollars on defense in recognition of this possible danger. These gigantic expendi- tures have been detrimental to many other plans, programs and policies which now also appear vitally important to the security and well-being of this Nation. The American people now know that many billions of these dollars spent on de- fense have been wasted.

The truth is that we have spent a trillion dollars since World War II on a gigantic hoax. The U.S. emerged from World War II, as from World War I, virtually unscathed, enormously enriched and-with the atom bomb-immea- surably more powefful than any nation on earth had ever

been. The notion that it was in danger of attack from a de- vastated Soviet Union with 25 million war dead, a genera- tion behind it in industrial development, was a wicked fantasy. But this myth has been the mainstay of the mili- tary and the war machine.

projecting one’s own worst impulses,

Until this bogeyman is disposed of, there will always be an ABM. There will always be some new device offer- ed us in panic as necessary to our security. Until the oppo-

sition moves from the technical details of weaponry- whether ABM or MIRV-to an attack on this underlying obsession with a Soviet attack, we’re never going to bring the arms budget and the arms race under control. At a hearing of his Senate Foreign Relations Committee on MIRV July 16, Senator Fulbright put his finger on the essential point when he said the Pentagon experts “seem to assume, I have never been quite clear why, that they (the Russians) have only one object in life and that is to

destroy the United States, and everything else is subor- dinate to that objective. I do not accept that.” A psycholo- gist would say that such a view projects on the Rival or Enemy the worst impulses of one’s own heart.

In a cold war speech which sounded as if it came right out of deep freeze in the Fifties, Jackson told the Senate in a pro-ABM speech July 9 it was essential to know one’s enemy. It is even more essential to know oneself. Jack- son’s speech might have been written by John Foster Dulles. All the forces of Light were on our side; all the forces of Darkness, on the other.

In a world of demonology, there can be no diplomacy. If both sides are human, equally fallible and fearful, then compromise and accommodation are possible. But if it is the Devil in new guise who sits at the other side of the table, one cannot negotiate. One can only frighten or “deter” him, and hold in reserve weapons *fearsome enough to destroy him, if he slyly ventures an attack. In such a world the problems are purely technical and mili- tary. Their solution requires ever better and more numer- ous weapons. In such a world there can be no limit to military budgets and military power. That’s why the mili- tary men on both sides prefer it.

“The point,“’ Cranston of California said in an anti-ABM speech July 18, “was perhaps made most succinctly a couple of months ago by a Soviet Embassy official in Washington. ‘If the Americans want to throw away $7 billion on this toy,’ he said of the AMB, ‘it only means that our militarists will want more missiles, and that your militarists will want more missiles, and there it goes. ”

By this route “there it goes” will some day be the whole planet going up in a forest of mushroom clouds.

The basic issue is philosophical The basic issue is philosophical, not technological. If

the philosophical premises are those of the military, the technological argument cannot be won. It is not just that the military can reveal what suits them and censor what doesn’t. In a world conceived as a melodramatic confron-

tation between Good and Evil, it will always seem more “prudent” to run the risk of wasting a few more billions of dollars than sudden apoclayptic destruction one dark night.

“Perhaps the worst implication of the ABM debate,” Senator Young of Ohio said July 14, “is the fact that it will help to continue the deception that there is a technical solution to the dilemma of the nuclear age. This false hope would be extremely dangerous if it diverted us from efforts to find a solution in the only place where it may be found-in a political and diplomatic search for peace com- bined with arms limitation and disarmament measures. ” This the Pentagon fears far more than Communism. The menace of Communism is its necessary twin, the vital element without which its dramaturgy would collapse. Its real enemy is a world without an arms race, a world freed from the fear of war.

The men to watch are those who would cloak the mili- tary in the shining armor of another crusade for liberty. After Jackson’s speech July 9, Fulbright said soberly “all we are doing is following the traditional way of dealing with possible enemies by building more and more arms.” Jackson responded in language which has so often led humanity to destruction.

“The basic problem,” he replied, “is not new. It is the age-old problem of preserving and nourishing individual liberty.” It was the ultimate in irony to hear Jackson complain that “liberals are slandered” in the Soviet Un- ion and “travel abroad is denied dissenters” and to see Tower of Texas rise to congratulate him. We never knew they cared. Jackson’s comrade-in-arms, Nixon, launched his career by slandering liberals and was vice president of an administration which denied dissenters the right to travel. The new repression reviving under Nixon bears a strong family resemblance to the reviving Stalinism Jackson deplores in the Soviet Union. The military mach- ines and their pied pipers are the first on both sides to urge “liberation” abroad while imposing oppression at home.

The social absurdity of avoiding real issues by Meldon Levine

44 T HE STREETS OF OUR coun- try are in turmoil. The univer- sities are filled with students rebelling and rioting. Commun-

ists are seeking to destroy our country. Russia is threatening us with her might. And the republic is in danger. Yes, danger from within and without. We need law and order... without law and order our nation cannot survive.. . . . ”

These words were spoken in 1932 by Adolf Hitler .

We have heard almost every one of those assertions used this year in this country as justifications for repressing student protests. Instead of adjudicating the legitimate causes of the dissatisfac- tion, our political and social leaders have searched for explanations which deny ei- ther the validity or the pervasiveness of the dissent.

What is this protest all about? You have told us repeatedly that trust

and courage were standards to emulate. You have convinced us that equality and justice were inviolable concepts. You have taught us that authority should be guided by reason and tempered by fairness. And we have taken you seriously.

We have accepted your principles-and have tried to implement them. But we have found this task to be less than easy. Almost every one of us has faced the in- flexibility and the insensitivity of our system.

To those who would argue that the sys- tem has been responsive, there is a one- word answer:Vietnam. It is not a weak- ness but a strength of American education that enables us to understand the absurd- ity of the premises which control our pol- icy in Vietnam and which threaten to em- broil us elsewhere.

We have tried every possible peaceful means to change our disastrous course. We have signed petitions. We have written to our congressmen. We have had teach- ins. We have marched. We have reasoned with anyone who would listen. And, in 1968, after years of peaceful protest and

after the American people had spoken in primary after primary in favor of a change, we were not even given a choice in Vietnam.

We have grown weary of being promised a dialogue. What we urgently need is a meaningful response.

Our experience with Vietnam reflects the type of frustration we face every time we press for change. We are told to follow “the system. ” But when I look at that “system, ” I see rules-but not under- standing. I see standards-but not com- passion.

* * * And although our complaints are more

with society than with the university, the university itself is not an illogical target. Some students believe it contributes to oppressive social policies and most of us feel that it has become, in an unresponsive system, the only means whereby we can focus attention on the most serious injust- ices which continue to infect our nation.

And the university, too, has tenaciously resisted change. Six years ago, I was el- ected president of the student body at Berkeley. I ran on a moderate platform- one calling for educational reform, in- creased university involvement in the community and student participation in academic decision-making.

Since that time, I have received de- grees at Berkeley, at Princeton and at Harvard. And I have heard my fellow stu- dents raise the same issues-time and again. And time and again, I have witness- ed the university’s response: a committee will be formed, and the issues will be dis- cussed.

* * * Year after year, the result is the same.

And eventually the tactic of setting up committees is discredited. They come to be seen as a device to buy time rather than to make changes; an opportunity to stall until another class of undergraduates leaves the school, removing that particul- ar thorn from the university’s side as they go-

Thus, the university and the society respond the same way to our appeals for change: a direct confrontation of ideas is refused and the issues raised are avoided. But explaining the issues away won’t make them go away. And the frustration which comes both from the issues them- selves and from the continual denial of their existence touches all segments of the campus.

If anyone still doubts the depth of the conviction, I ask him to witness the inten- sity with which it is felt. I ask him to re- view the efforts of my classmates. These efforts were pursued not as a sacrifice, though. sacrifices were made; not as a risk, though risks were involved; not to gain praise, though praise they deserve, but because this was necessary to achieve the ideals which you have held forth for us.

They chose to work with poor people in Appalachia and with black people in Miss- issippi and in urban ghettos. They persev- ered in calling attention to the injustices in Vietnam, despite accusations of disloy- alty to their country. And when the price was raised to include physical danger, they exhibited courage and did not waver- in Chicago 7 in Berkeley, and in Cam-

bridge. Now, for attempting to achieve the val-

ues which you have taught us to cherish, your response has been astounding. It has escalated from the presence of police on the campuses to their use of clubs and of gas. At Berkeley in May, the state ordered a helicopter to gas the campus from the sky and ordered the police to shoot protes- ters from the street. Whether the victims had themselves engaged in violence seems to have made little difference.

* * * When this type of violent repression re-

places the search for reasonable alterna- tives, Americans are allowing their most fundamental ideals to be compromised.

What do you think that response does to students?

It drives the wedge even deeper. It cre-

ates solidarity among a previously divided‘ group, committing the uncommitted and radicalizing the moderates.

I have asked many of my classmates what they wanted me to say in this ad- dress. “Talk with them about hypocrisy,” most of them said. “Tell them they have broken the best heads in the country, embittered the most creative minds and turned off their most talented scholars. Tell them they have destroyed our confi- dence and lost our respect. Tell them that, as they use the phrase, ‘law and order’ is merely a substitute for reason and an alternative to justice. ”

Continuing to explain the conflict away will only serve to heighten the frustration. It can no longer be denied. Once you rec- cognize that it pervades the campuses- that it affects more than a discontented few-how will you respond?

* * * Do far, we have been unable to under-

stand your response. You have given us our visions and then asked us to curb them. You have offered us dreams and then urged us to abandon them. You have made us idealists and then told us to go slowly.

We have been asking for no more than what you have taught us is right. We can’t understand why you have been so offend- ed. But as the repression continues, as the pressure increases, as the stakes become higher and the risks greater, we can do nothing but resist more strongly and re- fuse more adamantly. For it would be unthinkable to abandon principle because we were threatened or to compromise i- deals because we were repressed.

We are asking that you allow us to real- ize the very values which you have held forth. And we think you should be with us in our quest.

B’usiness as usual

The war in Vietnam will soon be over-it’s only a matter of time. That’s what we’re being told.

But it just ain’t true. Nixon’s first withdrawal of 25,000 troops was a mere token and now he has delayed announcing further with- drawals.

There is e;idence that even the token withdrawal was phony. In the july 11 New York Times, Stev- en Roberts reports:

SEA TTL E, july 7 O-Rain, martial music, pretty girls, ticker tape... greeted. the first G/s pulled out of Vietnam in president Nixon s effort to de-escalate the war. The 874 members of the 3rd battalion, 60th infan try, 9 th infan try division landed yesterday at McChord airforce base. . . Fe wer than 200 of the men actually fought in the 3rd battalion in the Mekong delta area of Viet- nam. When the transfer order came, those with time left to serve in Vietnam were moved to other units and the battalioh was filled with men ready to return home. The men will not be specifically replaced in Vietnam, but the day they landed at McChord, more than 7000 fresh troops left the base for a year’s tour in the war zone. This month more than 70,000 others will foll- o w them. I’

There is a strong indication that the United States government has realized that they can’t win in Vietnam simply because the Viet- namese people’won’t let them. Af- ter all how many small countries can handle the outside forces of major powers for 20 years with on- ly minimal and non-manpower . support from their own big-power allies?

Uncle Sam may have decided the Vietnamese really want to be tommies, but he won’t leave them alone. U.S. armed forces will hold what areas they can through military might alone, probably forgetting about trying for total victory. If they can’t win, they might’as well s’ettle for a tie. Thk tie will theoretically prevent the “sweep of the communist hord a- cross southeast Asia” that we’ve heard so much about.

For awhile anyway it will be business- as usual in the rest of southeast Asia. As Phillipine for- eign secretary Carlos Romulo said after Nixon’s july visit, “It is to the national interest of Amer- ica that there should be an Ameri- can presence here. . ..She cannot abandon more than 1,000,000,000 people who are a rich market for American products. ”

What’s the cost of half a million troops stationed in Vietnam com- pared to all the profits big, patrio- tic. American corporations will reap in the rest of southeast Asia?

And as a side benefit. Uncle Sam will be keeping all those south Vietnamese peoplefree.

there are Americans teaching at lJ of W for the same kind of reasons as there are Canadians drawing sal- aries from professional hockey clubs in the United States.

If you need hockey players to fill out an expanded National Hockey league team, you look where the trained players are to be found. That‘s Canada.

If you need professors to fill out the faculties in a period of rapid expansion you look where the train- ed academics are. Very often that turns out to be the United States.

It’s really too bad that the whole problem can’t be boiled down to a hockey game. That all-American approach advocated by the Record is the same one that keeps white teachers in black schools and gives blacks ~ good jobs only in sports in the U.S.

find ourselves in the paradoxical situation of being in an institution rhetorically dedicated to the search for truth, which possesses some of the resources and facili- ties for such a search and admi,ts none of the need for finding a truth other than the status-quo.

The Chevron’s role is to chall- enge that rhetoric, try to improve the resources and facilities and emphatically prove the need for that truth called social change.

Having adopted such rhetoric for ourselves, we cannot possibly say we are objective. But the sd- called professional press is even farther from objectivity yet claims to have that elusive qual- ity.

But non-objectivity does not mean slanted or untrue stories. Rather it shows up in the kind of stories covered, the way they are covered, the type of features that are run and the approach taken in editorials and editorial material such as the back page.

We do want the reader to expect -and get-accurate, fair report-

ing. That means correct quotes used in reasonable context. We al- so aim to cover all the news on campus that our vdlunteer resour- ces will allow.

Anyone who wants to volunteer is welcome to join the staff at any time. New recruits are particular- ly welcome at the organizational meeting monday 15 September at 8pm in the Chevron office, campus center.

The Chevron attempts to be as democratic as possible. Operating and policy decisions are made at regular staff meetings. The edi- tor-in-chief is selected by the staff in the winter for ratification by student council.

We try to do the things the pro- fessional press does not. We report everything we can cover and dig to find out what is happening behind closed doors and in the hierarchy. We also print every letter to the editor-a policy we will continue as long as we can find the space.

That’s our rhetoric. We will try to live by it and would appreciate being judged by it.

Wednesday 10 September 1969 (10: 14) 199 23

MORE THAN THREE and a half billion people already populate our moribund globe, and about half of them are hungry. Some 10 to 20 million will starve to death this year. In spite of this, the population of the earth will increase by 70 million souls in 1969. For mankind has artificially lowered the death rate of the human population, while in general both rates have remained high. With the input side of the population system in high gear and the output side slowed down, our fragile planet has filled with people at an incredible rate. It took several million years for the population to reach a total of two billion people in 1930, while a second two billion will have been added by 1975.

Both woldwide plague and thermonuclear war have been made more probable as pop- ulation growth continues. These, along with

famine, make up the trio of potential “death rate solutions” to the population problem- solutions in which the birth rate-death rate imbalance is redressed by a rise in the death rate rather than by alowering of the birth rate. Make no mistake about it, the imba/- ante will be redressed.

The situation was recently summarized very succinctly : “It is the top of the ninth inning. Man, always a threat at the plate, has been hitting Nature hard. It is import- ant to remember, however, that Nature bats last!” -Dr. Paul Ehrlich, Eco-catastrophe!.

Ramparts, September 69.

More important than radical or political consciousness is the understanding that we are part of something larger than ourselves, a part of the totality that is the Planet Earth. The ecosystem is structured cooperatively.

Species don’t compete wrtn one another, except for man. They support one another, each functioning to sustain the chain of life. Man is the odd-ball. Not only does he compete with his fellows, he views other species and indeed all of nature as some- thing to conquer and manipulate.

This thinking, and it is found in most political ideology, has got to end. We’ve got to begin thinking of ourselves as part of a community of living things. -Martin Jezer Ecology, WIN / U P S )

august, 69.

The only way we can create a meaningful human future, and overcome our own indi- vidual hopelessness, is to concentrate dir- ectly on the issue of life and death. It is only through actively knowing the natural and continuing process of life and growth, with- in us and around us, that we are daily re-

born-becoming life; thereby enjoying each day, as well as feeling a rational hope for the future. This is the ecology of nian.

What we must strive for is the physical and psychic survival of the human species on this planet. Our politics and economics must be secondary, nevertheless intimately related, to the real issue of life and death. This is the ecology of revolution.

There is only one earth! We must all dir- ect our attention towards limiting its popu- lation, ending its exploitation, cleaning it up, and generally making it a fit place to

-live. We don’t have enough time to find a replacement.

And so the revolwtion must be an affirma- tion of all iife; our individual daily lives, the life of our community, and our earth.
