Students who attended the first

the chevron

night of taping four “Under ’ At- tack” television shows on campus Wednesday night expecting dram-

s atic or conclusive confrontations must have gone away quite disappointed.

The show advertises itself as an “attack” or “confrontation” situation, trying hard to recon- struct the spontaneous “hot-seat” environments of the famous old pre-electronic debating societies.

Due to the technology factor and the shift of public respect -and interest in so-called debates or confrontations, the format of “Under Attack” is doomed to suffer ups and downs, depending on many factors.

In Wednesday night’s tapings, one guest “attackee” was able to ignore or gloss over touchy points, while the other found that he could

swept onto the stage after a X)-minute delay exuding american wallstreet femininity : lipstick, white smile and a evening-gown-type dress which hit well below her knees.

“Hi,” she quipped in testing her mike, “I’m Miss America and the reason we’re so late is that it took so long to put the plastic lamen- tation on me.”

Obviously, she was more than familiar with the. slings and arrows that would be aimed,at her by the three young female panel mem- bers.

With a drum roll from heaven, the hot tv lights came on, an orange bulb went on atop one of the three cameras and Under Attack was on.

Unfortunately, the panel is automatically at a disadvantage on this kind of show. Their time is

divided three ways-plus the considerable time given members of the audience at the floor mikes- while their adversary has more control over the direction of the questioning.

And Schaeffer’s panel took the wrong turns immediatly.

She was attacked for trying to look the part of middle America’s concept of women, while the women on the panel were wearing the uniform of the “new” woman : blue jeans, suede vests with fringe and fake tie-dye shirts.

The generally calm Miss America used this and several mistakes in the research literature handed out to the panelists to make points with the audience on several occasions.

The panelists also took a par- ticularly vicious tack in their questioning at points and pushed some of the audience sympathy toward Schaeffer .

Miss America also made use of another ploy: when caught in a contradictory situation, she pleaded guilty to the charge and simply asked the audience to forgive her for not being perfect.

She admitted, in this way, that her claim to being representative of young american people was open to attack, since the judges who picked her were not young.

“This is a part of the pageant I hope is changed soon,” she apologized.

She similarly begged the question on her outlook on premarital sex and drug-taking, both of which she admits she hasn’t tried, but is against anyway.

“It’s too bad I was raised to think that way, because it makes me narrow-minded on the subjects, but I wouldn’t want to change my opinions just because of peer pressure. That wouldn’t make me feel right about them.”

John Todd, spokesman for the Vietnam Veterans for a Just Peace, approached the Situation by trying to bore the audience to death.

The overflow audience for the first taping had thinned out to about three-fourths capacity for Todd’s taping, and those who stayed had little to cheer or boo, unlike the lively Miss America session.

Due to the fact that Todd is temporarily blind because of a combat injury, and the more emotional political feelings in- volved over the Vietnam war, the Todd sessibn was much more tense and emotional.

Todd broke down almost all the attacks against his stand by making long, ambiguous analyses of the situations, not allowing the more effective method of fast questions forcing revelation of contradictions.

Of the recent elections in Viet- nam’ which have been criticized as being rigged, Todd responded that “we shouldn’t expect a young democracy to come up to our standards yet.” ,

He termed defoliation methods and tear gas attacks as “humane” combat, which they are when the attackers allow him to compare them to outright slaughter, the alternative he said the US is not taking.

He said the difference between the US and other countries is that the Americans “do not try to bomb orphanages. ”

Consphcy charged in * Toronto demonsttwfion

This week on campub is a free column for the announcement of meetings, special seminars or speakers, social events and other happenings on campus-student, faculty or staff. See the chevron secretary or call extension 3443. Dead&e is tuesday afternoons by 3 p.m.

TORONTO (CUP) - Eleven people were arrested October 16 and fifteen store front windows broken after police and demon- strators commemorated the first anniversary of the imposition of the war measures act by clashing outside Eaton’s department store in downtown Toronto.

Demonstrators marched down Toronto’s Yonge street strip chanting slogans like “Free Paul Rose”. Uniformed police followed the 100 protestors in cars and on motorcycles. Plainclothesmen marched inconspicuously behind the chanting crowds.

Taking their police escort by surprise, some of the demonstra- tors holding Quebec patriot streamers broke into a run outside Eaton’s and charged down a side street, breaking fifteen of the corporation’s display windows.

Police movbd in and, after scuffling with demonstrators, arrested eleven people. Demon- strators confined their trashing to Eaton’s. No other stores, including

the adjacent Simpson’s and Woolworth’s, were damaged.

Eaton’s, one of the largest Canadian corporations, has a particularly bad record in union relations. All attempts to organize their workers have been foiled by the company. In Quebec, Eaton’s has been criticised by left groups as the major symbol of anglophone corporate domination.

All those arrested. have been charged with mischief to property and conspiracy. In addition, four of the eleven have been charged with possession of dangerous weapons and two with common assault.

The conspiracy charges may be based on posters appearing all over the city last week calling for people to demonstrate in aid of the Quebecois’ struggle against the Canadian state.

The media has billed the demonstration as the work of red morning, the militant. socialist group who put up the posters. Only four of the eleven arrested, however, were members of the group.

‘Execu-five has been spoon-feeding too long

Federwtiori in danger: grass-roots -‘or centiuliz by Joan Walters the chevron

A lthough no one seems to want to admit it, a large part of the current turmoil

Warren Hull, president of the “Rick was quite right in saying engineering society denied that the that the job of president is meeting society is preventing com- the members of the federation”, munication. He explained that when the society impeached Page, they felt that there was a clique in the federation and that the organization was too far removed from the students-particularly the engineers.

within the -federation of students appears to centre around federation president Rick Page’s philosophy for the federation’s future.

The problems which have come to light in recent council resignations and action involve three questions : 8 defining the role of the federation of students ; l the manner in which students should become involved with the federation ; l how to deal with the interests, problems and aspirations of the students.

Up to this time, neither the executive nor the council has any clear idea how these three issues should be attadked.

Carl Sulliman, recently resigned vice-president of the federation, told the chevron “the job of the federation should be to instil1 a conciousness in the people around it and directly involved in it.

Sulliman feels that the societies on campus are getting in the way of that genuine communication.

Speaking specifically of engsoc, he said, “There are two instances where the society has shown up at federation meetings. Their first position was to impeach Page and their second appearance was made to embrace him.”

“Later though,” said Hull, “Page made an effort to spend a lot of time talking to me. He’d spend about two hours every other week in my office and now there’s fantastic communication going.”

Media needed *

Sulliman recommended that the chevron begin a media campaign to educate the students on the functions of the organization. “The federation can talk all it wants but it really depends on the media to disseminate information”, he said.

Sulliman said his decision to resign as vice president was partly based on a conviction that he would be able to accomplish more as a councillor .

Page and Sulliman seem to hold the same views concerning the federation executive. Sulliman said that “the executive has been spoon-feeding the students and councillors for too long. If the council gets together and gets involved, more problem solving should occur. ”

And the beat goes OWL.. (federation resignations Since Rick Page took office)

“That’s fine,” said Sulliman, Dave Blaney, federation “but I’d like to know what’s been chairman of the creative arts going on in between. There is so board and candidate for arts much power play between students representative on the council, that they won't get it together and holds approximately the same realize that the enemy is not the federation. Without the federation, view. “One must remember and

they wouldn’t have some of the return to the fact that the

advantages they now have on federation is the students, not the campus.” executive or the council”, he said.

said Blaney . “Everyone on the executive and the council in fact should try to do this because now, the federation is in danger of losing

a great deal of its autonomy.” “The students are not sure that

the federation is relevant any more and the federation, on the other hand, is receiving a great deal of pressure from the ad- ministra+~3i.”

Ric” I ,igc, federation president, stalkk, ‘!at the organization shouldn’t i-t: dependent on the

i executive :>rnd should stand for itself.

He feels that the federation has to “‘break itself down into a grass- roots organization as quickly as it can” and is confident that the support he has received from engsoc, environmental studies and part of the council will facilitate this.

Hull agrees witli this but ex- plained that “even though de- centralization is wanted, there has to be a central organization to co- ordinate all the activities”.

Luke Aujame however, science rep to the council, does not agree with the “grass-roots” philosophy,

“Grass-roots doesn’t mean anything”, he said. “You can’t de anything with de-centralization; it’s what you put into the council that is important.”

“If the federation doesn’t change it’s policy towards students, decentralization won’t make any difference”, said Aujame.

Technocratic machine? -“” ’

“The question is what do you ‘want the federation to be? It can either be the expression of the aspirations of students in every field or it can be a technocratic machine that dictates the positions of professionals”, explained Aujame.

Neither Page nor Aujame felt that Sulliman’s resignation would hurt the council. Aujame feels that it may have come at the wrong time, but that it will probably accelerate a number of people on the council to decide what they feel is the function of the council. “That’s what I’ll be working towards” , said Aujame.

Sulliman feels that his resignation will specifically necessitate a re-assessment form Page on the functions of the federation.

Aujame stated that it’s a question of aspirations. “For Page, it’s aspirations in the form of pubs and concerts.” he saidi “That’s like deciding that the aspiration of every student at

Even with some council members against him, Page maintains that his “grass-roots” theory will work.

some ways. “The more people that get to .be vice president, the bet- ter”, he explained. i Blaney refuted this, saying,

“The idea that all Rick Page is after is more bread and cir.cuses is not particularly relevant. In doing what he did -concentrating on pubs and concerts- Page was doing what the students wanted at one par- ticular time.”

All federation members em- phasized that student involvement is a major question.

Page’s philosophy that the federation can go one of two ways-professional or “grass- roots”-is based on the assumption that either will succeed with support from the students.

Aujame, however, felt that Page’s ideas of student involvemnt have nothing to do with the running of the federation.

“If you’re giving the students pubs and concerts, you’re asking for observation instead of par- ticipation” said Aujame.

Blaney emphasized that some people on council have the idea that this type of thing is new to the federation.

“It’s one of those things that happen in every organization”, he said. “There are conflicts of personality and conflicts over policy. The problem is really the result of two distinct opinions about what place the federation should have on campus.”

Campus “conciousness”

The question of “conciousness” was also raised.

“Everyone talks about con- ciousness’ ’ , Aujame explained. “It expresses itself in a very. simple way through people who work together on a number of ideas. That’s the only way it can by truly expressed. “The lack of political organizations on campus, for example, is an expression of a lack of conciousness,.”

Sulliman, too, commented that one of the jobs of the federation should be to instil1 a conciousness in the students.

“People should become in- terested and when that interest catches them, the philosophy should be-‘I’m going to get in- volved to see what makes this thing tick’. The more people in- terested, the more chance there is of learning on an involvement level”.

Aujame feels that it’s a problem of a lack of certain type of people on campus.

“There should always be a number of people who are more aware of what is necessary for the students to find solutions to their particular problem”, agreed the science rep. “But the question now is that these people just don’t exist. If they did, the federation wouldn’t be in the position it’s in now.”

“The solution to this particular problem”, he explained, “is for the federation to dig deeper and find the ideas held by the students at this university about everything from politics to course content “.

Student ideas vital

Blaney also feels that a job of council is to discover what the students’ opinions are and return them to the administration in the form of recommendations.

“The executive and the council have a role in desseminating in- formation to give students a chance to make their own decisions”, said Blaney. “They also have a duty to the students to justify the existence of the federation, just as they must justify the use of money.”

On the function of the position of federation . vice president, Sulliman said, “Any political office is an interruption in one’s life and hopefully, the person in that ,ffice can deal with the interruption honestly. But it’s important not to become a fixture of the organization.”

“I was very happy and found it interesting to serve in the elitist position of vice-president”, he said, “and it is an elitist position; second student on campus - that type of thing.”

Canada--“just another bananna republic” \ ’ statement by Gompers, president of the AF of L in the September 1898 edition of American Federationist to back up this remark.

our consistently growing industrial supremacy.”

e “The nation which dominates the

markets of the world will surely control its destinies. To make the United States a vast workshop is our manifest destiny, \and our duty...no obstacle can be placed to the attainment of the highest pinnacle of national glory and human progress. But to,attain this end is the acquirement of the Phillipine Islands with their semi- savage population necessary! surely not. Neither its gates nor those of any other country of the globe can long be closed against

The attitude of the AF of L was no different towards Canada during this period Scott continued, as the alien labor law was aimed primarily at the migration of Canadian workers as Federationist editorials and. inter union correspondence clearly point out.

“...Much has been said about the brotherly feeling that should exist between laborers all over the world, but it should not be forgotten that on the interchange of favors between this country and Canada, the United States has received immeasurably the worst of the bargain. The discussion before the last Congress...mostly

referred to that class of im- migrants coming from Canada and going to western New York, Ohio, Michigan and, in fact all the States on the border. The various con- ventions of the American Federation of Labor and the various labor organizations in Buffalo.”

Scott wound up by saying, “the reality of the situation is that the AF of L is not an international union but an American one which sees it’s glory bound up in the glory of the american empire. Their willingness to unionize the texpack strikebreakers even though the Canadian Textile Union was striking legitimately against this company should wake up Canadian workers all ‘over this country.”

Polisci goes collective The proposal was written largely

by Robin Briggs, a student member of the undergraduate affairs committee. He, the other student representatives of the committee and PSU members drafted the suggestion, which was presented to the union.

The question of training students as opposed to educating them was also a concern presented in the paper suggesting “a collective that would . educate political science students not produce tires or paint pictures.”

is developing and they can no longer depend on our government to keep the natives down,” Scott continued.

“Those who feel that because we’re white they will treat us differently are kidding them- selves,” he warned. The US will determine their moves on the basis of material needs and in this connection we are more important than the natives of any bananna republic he added.

Scott outlined two alternatives for Canada, independance or in- tegration, and pointed out that Trudeau’s middle path of modified integration would be the first. step down a road from which there could be no return.

Stressing the importance of the role of labour in the move towards independance, he pointed out that as long as the Canadian workers remain under the American Federation of Labour they will not be able to play a part in our fight for survival.

“Sure they were opposed to the outright acquisition of colonies, but mainly because of, the threat of alleged “semi-savage” cheap labor.” Scott stated. He quoted a

Ever since it was spawned the AF of L has supported the foreign policy of the U.S. he charged. He pointed to the attitude of the AF of L when the Phillipines were being taken over as an example of what Canadians might expect.

Canada is just another bananna republic as far as the United States is concerned, Waterloo students were told ttiesday by Vancouver writer and long time trade unionist Jack Scott.

Scott added that the book value of US subsidiaries in Canada ex- ceeds the amount of total US direct investment in Europe, and in total US investments in Latin America.

“One out of every three dollars invested by the US is invested in Canada,” Scott told his audience. He also pointed out that the US don’t need a manufacturing in- dustry in Canada they just want to control our resources.

He mentioned NOWAPL, the US plan which would create one big lake stretching from British. Columbia to Ontario (which the Canadian Government have not yet rejected or accepted) as an example of U.S. designs on our resources.

“Up to now the US have not wanted political control in Canada, they preferred that we be ruled by a native elite. We have now reached a stage where resistance

“We have become extremely important to the US to the point where US industry cannot survive without our resources.” He cited the present economic crises as a move by the US to force Canada into economic integration which would of course involve political integration.

Although the vote of those at- tending the meeting was over- whelmingly in favor of the collective idea, the proposal itself was criticized as being too vague.

Briggs defended its vagueness on the grounds that the collectivity would consist of students, faculty and staff so one group--the students-should not come for- ward with a proposal. All three groups should be involved in working out the details, he said.

The premise of the collective concept is that students should have some control over their education and should not be in inhibited by the present class structure. -

According to the recom- mendation, all outlines of present courses would be abolished if the collective was established. In place of the traditional structure faculty members would be con- sidered resource personnel.

Faculty members could list ‘interests and qualifications, it was ssuggested at the meeting, so students could contact professors for individual reading courses or people could co-operate in seminars.

The resolution admits it is not a final’ demand but said the necessity‘ to overhaul the present structure is urgent..

“The relationships between professor and student, the basis of decision-making power, and the future dynamics of the department must be defined.”

However, the proposal does suggest that the collective would be an entity which would make decisiop And be responsible for those decisions presumably in- cluding the hiring and firing of faculty.

“This system of collectivity would mean that student bodies

*like the PSU would cease to exist as would faculty bodies. Decisions pertaining to the department and its committees would be discussed and resolved in general collective gatherings.“

First year courses could be set up on more traditional lines and courses could also be offered to meet the requirements of non- political science majors, according to the proposal.

Because of his pre-election duties T.H. Qualter, chairman of the political science department, had no comment on the PSU ac- tion.

The recommendation was made because of some feeling in the department stemming from a - ^

If the faculty refuses to accept the proposal, Briggs said, that decision would be reviewed by the PSU. He indicated that all decisions on the collectivity would be ratified by the PSU.

He feels that if all art’s students benefit in some way from the dispersement of society fees, such fees should therefore be non- refundable.

Benovoy has also submitted a proposal to the fee study com- mittee that the societies’ fees should be raised from the present assesment of two dollars and fifty cents per student to five dollars. For the academic year 71-72 the union of arts societies should have funds totalling slightly more than fi,ooO dollars which is to be dispersed among 27 different societies. Some of these societies have planned programmes sub- mitting budgets in excess of one thousand dollars. Benovoy maintains that the total amount of alloted funds is inadequate to provide for these clubs.

Benovoy does not favor retur- ning money to the students. It is his opinion that all arts students, whether they realize it or not, benefit from the activities and programmes initiated by the union of arts societies and it’s dependent clubs.

Included in the contract is a company guarantee that 140 to 145 of the nearly 200 workers who were laid off or striking will be rehired by the end of the year. This was the top priority of the workers’ bargaining unit.

Representatives from Maritme and Maine universities are meeting at the university of New Brunswick on October 22 and 23 to discuss the feasibility of forming a Maritime entertainment union. The union would attempt initially to book- big name musical groups for tours of all the campuses concerned.

This cultural association will likely pave the way for closer political contacts between the universities in the Maritimes and the state of Maine, but student councils are wary of rushing things.

the unsuccessful fight waged against public hospital and medical insurance.

The insurance ads imply that under the NDP plan the driver may actually pay more than under the present competitive system. But in the statement the NDP claims that the driver’s cost can be reduced from 15 to 20 per cent and that a person’s driving record and not his age, marital status or standing in the community should be the criteria for rates.

The plan, which’ is modelled after the one in Manitoba, would require every driver to purchase what they call the “basic package.” This includes a 200 dollar deductible all-perils policy which includes a 50,000 dollar inclusive third-party liability in- surance plus a payment for loss of use by theft.

In reply to the plea lettered in red on one of the insurance phamphlets of “please save our jobs”, the NDP has promised to make a place in the public plan for any agent who now makes a substantial part of his income from selling car insurance.

Whether or not the NDP will implement this policy depends, of course, on the results of yester- day’s election - the outcome r f which was not known when this was written.

New Democratic party officials saw more help than hindrance in the deluge of anti-NDP auto in- surance ads which have inundated the Kitchener-Waterloo area.

The *advertisements sponsored by “independent Canadian in- surance companies and agents” flooded radio and newspapers in the past few weeks. Direct mailing was also used by the group, the membership of which was never specified.

People who listened to radio during the past weeks found that the air waves seemed to be either sponsored by William Davis or by the insurance agents attacking the “socialist” NDP on its plan.

“The insurance ads make people angry because they offend people’s sense of fair play,” said John Wilson campaign manager for Jo Surich, the NDP standard bearer for Waterloo North.

Last week the NDP challenged members of the insurance-industry to a public debate on the issue, but according to Wilson they “copped out because they claimed it was unethical to debated with one political party on the eve of the election. This was after they had been advertising for two weeks.”

In a joint press release by the three area NDP candidates, the party said the intensity of the anti-

Bruce Cockburn’s second album (High Winds White Sky, True North TN 3) should consolidate his position as a real live home-grown superstar. You’ve probably heard “One Day I Walk” on AM by now, and suffice it 1 to say that the remainder of the LP is just as beautiful and intensely felt.

failing which shouldn’t keep you from acquiring a superb album by a powerhouse band.

I don’t know whether it’s a change in the recording technique or in Bruce’s self presentation, but in any case his voice is much fuller, his guitar playing more assertive, and his lyrics less ethereal than on his first album, which for me makes it that much more of a success. One highpoint, of many: “Ting Cauldron,” a mildly avant garde jam utilizing boo barns, salad bowls, and a “pygmy rhythm log” (among others), which reminds me of the extended pieces Sandy Bull has done for Vanguard. But enough: take your Canadian money and go out to buy this great Canadian record from a great Canadian company. (True North ,is Canadian-owned, Columbia- distributed. >

Some of Winter’s roots are stage front on The Johnny Otis Show Live at Monterey! (Epic EG 30473, which showcases a galaxy of the famous and not so famous Rhythm & Blues greats. Ivory Joe Hunter, Esther Phillips, and Big Joe Turner may be familiar to you, but what about Delmar “Mighty Mouth”Evans or Gene “The Mighty Flea” Connors? Rest easy, this isn’t a mixed bag of dubious “goldies”, but an all-star concert which documents the continuing vitality of a tradition.

Johnny Winter has a brother who, from the sound of Edgar Winter’s White Trash (Epic 305121, may turn out to -be his mama’s favorite son. From the funky-butt opening chords of “Give It Everything You Got” to the white gospel majesty of “You Were My Light,” this just doesn’t let up. If you can imagine Paul Butterfield doing Delaney and Bonnie material, you’ll have some idea of the high-energy soul that’s been captured here.

If you get a chance to hear it, don’t miss Esther Phillips’ blues trilogy on side S-she’s right up there with Aretha, and *certainly deserves an album of her own. R & B never died, it just went un- derground for a while, and here Johnny Otis brings it back alive and well.

PC & E (Columbia C30362),‘* formerly Pacific Gas & Electric, have shortened their name and added five new faces, but I still fail to detect a distinct musical per- sonality which would differentiate them from a host of equally competent groups. They have some definite strengths, notably the solid rhythnic foundation provided by drummer Ron Woods and Bassist Frank Petricca, and it was a good idea to add “The Black- berries” (no jive) on background vocals.

Ken Utterbeck’s lead guitar and Charlie Allen’s singing, however.

Everything works: the rhythm section is tight, the horns bob and weave like James Brown’s Famous Flames, and Winter and Jerry 1aCroix are two fine blue- eyed soul singers. The strings are superfluous, but that’s a minor

simply can’t sustain interest One small slap on the wrists, , without a lot of help from the rest nevertheless, for short playing of the group, which is not always time-only 31 minutes. But then, 31 forth-coming. On the less frenetic minutes of Chase are worth more numbers, such as “Thank God For than 31 hours of Grand Funk You Baby” and “Short ‘Dogs and Railroad-right, readers?-so I Englishman,” PG & E does some still recommend it. nice, relaxed things; if they ever Paul Stuewe

start taking their cues from Dr. John rather than Buddy Miles, they could become a band to reckon with.

The Byrds are one group who have developed their own thing, of which Byrdmaniax (Columbia KC 30640) is the latest manifestation. They don’t really knock me out, but it’s only fair to say that if you’re already a Byrds fan, you’ll probably be happy with this album: it’s reminiscent of both The Notorious Byrd Brothers and Ballad of Easy Rider in its use of strings and in the inclusion of a lot of country & western-style material, as well as in the sort of thoroughgoing eclecticism which follows the boppish “Tunnel of Love” with the Loeney Toon-ish incidental music of “Citizen Kane.” The Byrds are never less than fun, and when “Sneaky Pete” gets off on his pedal steel, they’re a good deal more than that.

To end on an upbeat, Chase (Epic 30472) has been out for a while, but if you haven’t heard it you’ve got a treat coming. Chase is a nine-man jazz-rock group which combines the tight arrangements of Blood, Sweat, & Tears with the improvisational abilities of Dreams (another fine Columbia group>. Although many efforts of this sort turn out to be nothing more than jazz horn players fronting a rock rhythm section, Chase uses the amplified in- struments-guitar, organ, piano- for color as well as rhythm, and comes up with music which is both good jazz and good rock.

Imagine

John Lennon

The .main source of John Len- non’s popularity has been that he has served as a mirror for so many of us who began listening to him in the early sixties as the “head beatle” (the pun would not have been understood by most back then 1.

John started out wanting to hold our hand, actually came right out and said he wanted to make love to us by the group’s fifth album, and then got into some heavy political- peace music. After following-or leading?-the movement out to the reaches of nihilism, John then reacted as did many radicals who, by the middle of the sixties had found themselves dragged out to a destructive and hate-filled threshhold of a new barbarism, by recanting with statements like “Revolution.”

In that song, John makes it clear that slow progress is better than violent change.

Since breaking with the Beatles-actually with Paul, since Ringo and George have remained friends- and gathering the moral strength of Yoko, John has done what few artists, and certainly extremely few popular musicians, have the courage for.

After such a long time of writing about the external world through his eyes, John has turned his gaze

. inward upon his own soul and his own justifications for what he does and has done.

He accomplished this with a

John’s attempt to point out the urgent need for changing the structures of our thinking about war and peace left many people out in the cold-including many who were otherwise in agreement with him-because of the bed- theatre way John tried to say it...the famous sleep-ins with Yoko in cities all over the world.

can be or is trying to be, musically and personally.

How can we believe that John wants us all to put aside all hate

With the exception of this out-of- place insult to Paul and anyone

else who buys this album and tries to accept John as a an artist in- stead of an ex-beatle, Imagine is simply a beautiful little gift from John to the world.

We can grant John the charity he has withheld from Paul and say that one human mistake, such as “how can you sleep?“, does not cancel out the effects of the rest of the album.

I could quote thewordsto “Oh my love” and others, but with music this personal, you must hear them from Lennon, with Lennon’s music. His songs to Yoko are ex- tremely touching and he seems to ’ have the same ability George Harrison has acquired of weaving a music which sounds as if it came from inside your head instead of from speakers.

And, just as John may have tactically failed there to an extent beyond his ’ intentions, so has Imagine failed in a small but important way.

It is like a lovely painting with a small but obvious scratch.

Because, after hitting the listener with bittersweet and evocative song-peoms like the title song and “i don’t wanna be a soldier mama, i don’t wanna die” and what is surely one of the most simple, ungarnished and fragile love songs written, “oh my love,“, John hits us with the blemish.

The blemish, this time, is a bitter piece of invective against Paul called “how do you sleep.” Not only is it counter to the feel of all the rest of the music on this album,

George Harrison, by the way,contributes some fine dobro and slide guitar work on this album, and Nicky Hopkins piano work makes several of the songs.

Strings are added in places, but fortunately never get in the way, as is too often the case when they are added to a work.

Czech String Quartet Saturday, march 16, saw the

Czech-String Quartet’s concert in the theatre of the arts which started off the Conrad Grebel Music-Lecture series. There were somewhere around zero empty seats for this concert, perhaps because people have noticed that it is the only serious- classical in- strumental concert on schedule in the university this year, the University Artists . Series being devoted wholly to Ed Sullivan productions, it seems. Would that your humble reviewer could hail this as a solid beginning to an exciting series, but you’ll have to go to Toronto, or practically any university in Ontario except Waterloo for that, I fear.

Safety first seems to have been the rule in programming here: Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven, and indeed, early Haydn, middle Mozart, and early Beethoven at that. Perhaps excursions into Janecek or even Smetana or Dvorak, which one would or- dinarily look forward to from a group of this lineage, were regarded as rather too ven- turesome for Waterloo audiences?

Notes for the Conrad Grebel series inform us that the Czech players have been around, and indeed, on matters of precision of ensemble and an obviously firm grip on the letter of the material at hand, nothing more could be asked. Somehow, though, what we got was a genial, competent, pleasant, but uninspired level of performance throughout the evening, with one notable ex- ception.

The group is capable of con- siderable beauty of sound, but did not as often produce it as the music deserved. The first _ violinist, in particular, was just a wee bit coarse in his general sound, and also an about equally wee bit off in his intonation every so often. (One suspects that they were a bit tired, perhaps owing to a last-minute drive up from Hamilton. If so, though, it is interesting that their unity of ensemble suffered not in the slightest. 1

Besides this, an evident shortage

of vitality showed through fairly consistently, and a lack of subtlety in, for example, the magnificent slow movement of the Mozart K. 428. The hypothesis that the first violinist tended to set the general pattern is, perhaps, somewhat confirmed by the one movement in the evening when, suddenly, all doubts were swept aside and we had music making of a very high order, viz., in the Minuet of the Beethoven 4th quartet. Sustained elsewhere, such playing would have rendered the evening a major triumph, rather than a minor success.

Haydn’s op. 20, the so-called “Sun” quartets, represented a giant step forward in the development of the string quartet. A major (arguably the finest, on some views) product of Haydn’s “Storm and Stress” period, which came to a height in 1772, the year of their composition, these pieces amaze one by comparison with their predecessors in this genre.

Both in the complexity of treatment, and in their emotional content, they took the musically knowledgeable of Europe by storm, and are altogether mature masterpieces. Most notable here in the fourth and perhaps best of the lot, in D major, is the elegant theme of the “Un poco Adagio ed affettuoso” movement, which is given variation treatment; and the altogether charming minuet in “Gypsy” manner, whose syn- copated treatment approaches polyrhythm. The final Presto is a whirlwind movement-better performed by the Czechs in their repeat of it as an encore, which is a bit late, unfortunately.

The Mosart 16th quartet (K. 428, in E flat major 1 is the third of the group of six dedicated to Haydn and known as the “Haydn” quartets. (It was after hearing the last three of these at a concert that Haydn made the famous tribute to Mozart, saying to the latter’s father that “Before God and as an honest man, I tell you that your son is the greatest composer known to me either in person or by name.“)

Their composition was again, as

with his preceding quartets, in- spired by those of Haydn, but this time there is nothing imitative or derivative about them. K. 428 is as archetypically Mozartean as they come. Again I would mention the remarkable and eloquent slow movement, which has advanced harmonic effects, justly likened by one of my sources to Wagner’s Tristan, and the unbelievable sure- ness of counterpoint and de- velopment in the finale.

Of the first half-dozen quartets of Beethoven, written when Beethoven was about 31, I find it completely astonishing that so much mastery could be evident when no earlier compositions in the form seem to have been com- pleted by him. Here we have works which, for all their reliance. on the masterworks of Haydn, start right off with an expressive power of a quite extraordinarily individual order.

In the case of number 4, in fact the last in order of composition, who could confuse more than a few bars of it with anything by Haydn or even Mozart?

The opening theme is “one of the first authentic examples of the Beethovenian melody-large, powerful, expressive, and simple”.

A counter theme in major key adds to the drama of this powerful movement. The following scherzo has a characteristically intriguing footstepping theme reminding me slightly of that of the Fifth Sym- phony. The Minuet is quite unlike most classical minuets in spirit, being a chromatic, passionate, searching movement; perhaps these qualities were what brought out the best in the Czech musicians.

The finale, actually a rondo in form, is simply a powerhouse, whose pell me11 development concedes little to classical molds,

and quite fittingly foreshadows the fully-blown romanticism of the middle quartets of a half-dozen years later. Only some of this got through in the rather pedestrian performances of our visitors-but enough to make one wish heartily that Waterloo’s concertizing did not come to a stop just as it began,

Anfi wmu mar& in Monfrecd MONTREAL (CUPFAbout 4,000 marchers

found little to inspire them in Saturday’s (October 16) demonstration organized by the front commun pour la defence de la langue francaise.

The march from part Lafontaine through Mon- treal’s east end, finishing with a rally in front of the Hydro Quebec building, failed to present a single coherent message or plan of action due to the presence of groups with different and sometimes contradictory aims.

At the rally, Reggie Chartrand and Raymond Lemieux spoke specifically about education Bills 28 and 63, and generally about the need for a french- speaking Quebec. Robert Lemieux provided a fit- ting anti-climax to the demonstration with his remarks: “The language struggle is important, but it is only part of our struggle.” He went on to point out the need to fight for political and economic rights, rather than concentrating solely on the language issue.

Many of the marchers were observing the first anniversary of the invocation of the war measures act. In fact, six men wearing papier mache heads of Trudeau, Bourassa, Choquette, Turner, Drapeau, and a capitalist, carried a coffin labelled ‘democracie’ at the head of the march.

As the demonstrators marched through the residential areas, shouts of “Quebec& clans la rue” brought many citizens out of their houses to join the march or to watch from the sidewalks.

The edifice de la ministere de justice was surrounded by more than 200 members of the Quebec provincial police equipped with helmets and riot sticks. The demonstrators shouted insults and threw rocks as they passed the QPP headquarters. The police ran into the building when demonstrators began climbing the fences and throwing sticks and vegetables at them.

Tension increased as marshals asked the mar- chers not to provoke the police. Up to this point, the mood of the march had been calm, with Montreal

police clearing streets well in advance and not in- terfering with the marchers in any way.

There was more window-breaking as the mar- chers entered the business district. Several win- dows of the’ Royal Bank at the corner of Ste- Catherine and St-Denis were smashed. Bottles were thrown at’ the Power Corporation connected Voyageur-Colonial Bus Terminal, and more’ win- dows were broken at the Hydro Quebec building on Dorchester. The building is Robert Bourassa’s Montreal headquarters.

Raymond Lemieux, the final speaker, said he hoped that thosit present would turn out for future demonstrations, and then announced that the crowd should disperse.

Not all the demonstrators took his advice, however. About 1,000 marchers broke through a police barricade, and moved south on St-Urbain St. in an attempt to reach the Power Corporation- owned La Presse building. A squad of police tried to prevent the marchers from getting through. The demonstrators responded by ripping out .fences from a Trans-Canada Highway construction site to build a barricade between them and the police.

Another squad began to move in from the east. The demonstrators placed a car in the middle of the road as a barricade, and built fires in trash cans. More police moved in from the west, hoping to encircle the demonstrators, who began to throw rocks and debris from the construction site.

By this time, many of the demonstrators were simply milling around, watching the police, and waiting to see what would happen. As the police, mounted on motorcycles, began to close in, most of the demonstrators fled. The riot police then subdued the remaining demonstrators. ,

An estimated 20 arrests .were made, but the Montreal police, contacted sunday (October 17) by the McGill Daily said they “didn’t know” who they were, or what charges, if any, had been laid against them.

ow did you spend this summer? Beautiful beaches, enchanted forests, working for money to further your education?

This summer in East Pakistan millions of refugees spent their time freeing from hot gun barrels, screaming jets, artillery fire, and the silent killers; starvation and complete despair.

Here it comes (you say), more tragic tidbits to whet our gruesome news-consuming appetite. Stanley Burke describes the current apathy toward the hideous situation in East Pakistan as a case of “compassion fatigue”. After My Lai and Biafra, and Attica, and the Indians and Eskimos, atid- the Vancouver riots we just don’t have the capacity to react any more. Or do we?

How can you be influenced to read this article completely? All that can be done is to ask that you do so, and if you do, beware the feeling there is nothing you can do. There is a hesitation to launch into a lecture on responsibility but stand informed that there is no one alive who can affor_d the luxury of apathy. Not only will you eventually get the government you deserve-but also the world you deserve.

Reporter: Anthony Mascarenhas, Sunday Times, june 13, 1971.

You may have read newspaper reports on east Pakistan and they may not have had any effect on you because of their cryptic style and lack of background information. Reports of- genocide are usually more avidly read than background political information.

Pakistan is divided and has been since its establishment by partition in 1947. It is in two sections, west and east, with approximately one thousand miles of India in the middle.

Imagine the maritimes and the western provinces as one country with Ontario and Quebec dividing them and you will have grasped the geography of the situation. The western sector is considerably larger than the east of Pakistan and yet the largest population, about seventy five million, live in the east (as compared to fifty five million in the west). The seat of the national government is in-the western sectqr in the city of Karachi.

During the years since the establishment of Pakistan, the west has maintained complete control over the east both politically and economically. Raw materials from the east were shipped to the west around the bottom of India through the Bay of Bengal and the Indian Ocean. The products were then processed in the west and shipped back to the east as finished products, again by the same route, but, the price which the easterners had to pay for the products was almost double the price the west paid. Needless to say, this alone caused some friction as knowledge of this kind of economic imperialism became known to the people of the east.

“I have seen tru kloads of human target: Hindus in disguise?

As in most strife situations, religious beliefs had their part to play as well. The Muslims of the west, who after all were pakistanis,because they would not live in India with the Hindus, looked down upon the Muslims in the east, primarily b&ause the easterners were more recent converts to Islam and because of the Bengali culture which influenced the forms of worship.

The westerners thought this k.ind of manipulating of religion was proof that the Bengali Muslims in East Pakistan (whose brothers of the Hindu religion lived just across the border in Bengal State of India) were really Hindus in disguise and were flagrantly enjoying life at the expense of the west, in a country which should not be theirs in the first place.

The reference in the above passage from the Sunday.Times to the question of circumcision as a determination of allegiance stems from the custom of obligatory circumcision for all Muslims.

Hindus who were converts to Islam (the name of the Muslim religion), especially the Bengali con- verts, were averse to this kind of practise and indeed in the villages of East Pakistan, the operation for an older man would be dangerous and extremely painful.

In fact, this type of inspection offered no proof at all of religious belief in the east. However if an uncircumcised man is today found in the east by western soldiers, he will be shot.

How did it begin: chronology of disaster

Jack Lakavitch was working for the world student Christian federation in East Pakistan during the prelude to the bloodbath. Since he was to work in the east he made it his business to discover the essence of the conflict. Here is a transcription of an interview conducted this week by Radio Waterloo. .

LAKAVITCH: We’ll go back to december the seventh when they held their national election. This was the first election that has been held since 1947 on such a wide basis. The main party in the east, the Awami League, won a total landslide in the east. In fact, not only did they gain the popular majority in the east, they had a majority for, the entire country. There were 313 seats altogether, 169 of which were in East Pakistan; the Awami League won 167 of them.

Their election campaign was based on a six-pqint formula to correct all the ills, social and economic, between east and west. In other words, to give East Pakistan (Bengal) autonomy so they could take charge of their own area. RADIO WATERLOO: So the election was actually run on a good basis of democratic principles? LAKAVITCH: This is a point that should be made strongly. It was the best election in their history; there was no corruption, this is official. Even the Pakistan government said this after the election,

RADIO WATERLOO: That’s an important thing to say, especially to the western countries from which aid comes. Now the results of the election? LAKAVITCH: The huge majority from t,he east made the west terribly afraid and very nervous for the future because suddenly East Pakistan was going to dominate the whole political set-up.

The party from the west which really lost many seats to the Awami League becan to make noises about boycotting the first assembly. The assembly was set for march 3, which is rather late but the Awami League, although they wanted the assembly held much earlier, agreed to march 3. The people in the west began to drag their feet and then decided not to attend the assembly, so of course the president postponed the assembly indefinetly.This was on march first. RADIO WATERLOO: Does this mean the president was effectively refusing the Awami League the right to govern, as the people had given them the mandate to do? LAKAVITCH: Yes, because he was afraid as were many of the industrial interests in the west that they would lose-out completely. RADIO WATERLOO: Is it true there are only twenty-two industrial families in the west which effectively control the economy of I the entire country? LAKAVITCH: Yes, absolutely. But the six-point formula for changing the economic systems’meant that the only power the central government would have would be to provide defense and to handle foreign affairs. But all the other bureaucratic functions would be handled by the Bengalis, by the East Pakistanis themselves. RADIO WATERLOO: Now when the president postponed the assembly, what was the reaction in East Pakistan? LAKAVITCH: That was the straw that finally broke the camel’s back as far at the Bengalis were concerned, because at this point they were con- vinced that the west Pakistanis were not too keen to let the easterners take over, despite the election, and would not allow them to carry on with the six- point formula, although this was the platform which got them elected.

So shiek Mujibur Rahman, the leader of the Awami League, called into being a non-cooperation, non-violent movement, where Dacca (capital of the eastern sector) was to observe a general strike on march 2.

On the following day’ was to be the general assembly, and this would be marked by a general strike for the whole country (East Pakistan). It was amazing-everybody moved in support of this non- cooperation movement. Even the opposition party in the east joined in. It was total. I have never ex- perienced such a complete thing before. It was a complete people’s movement. Not just a segment of the population but everybddy, from the peasant to the supreme coyrt. RADIO WATERLOO: The non-cooperation movement was actually a reply to the president’s refusal to call the assembly then? What was the west’s reaction to this?

LAKAVITCH : The west Bengalis meant busines cooperation meant that E links between east and we were stopped. Banking trar The government services ir Everything.

RADIO WATERLOO: This stoppage of the flow of n; west? LAKAVITCH : Right. Ther president himself arrived ostensibly to discuss the cri Dacca having these talkz% man, the army in the west v moved toward the east ternational Airways, and b gunboats.

Independence a reality

What originally was an appeal for provincial semi-autonomy has now become the foundation of a new and independent country. Bangla Desh is a political reality. The armies of the west still occupy the east. The murders and brutality continue. With it’s headquaters in Calcutta, the Bangla Desh government, or rather what is left of it after it’s members were methodically hunted down and killed, is now in the process both of seeking recognition in the world, and attempting to resist, the oppresssive west.

Fourteen embassies which were formerly representing the government of west Pakistan have changed their allegiance and become representatives of the Bangla Desh government. The greatest enemy in this struggle is despair.

A liberation army has been formed but its present attempt at giving even the most remote hope that East Pakistan can survive is frustrating.

The destruction is unimaginable, as this report by Hugh McCullum, editor of the Canadian Church- man states:

i “Whole sections of towns and villages on the

khulna-jessore road are wrecked. I did not get to Decca, but the world bank, never know as a “liberal bleeding heart” organiza tion, says “It lool\h like a nuclear attack hit the university.” The central bazzar of lessore is a mass of’ twisted rubble. Along the roads crops lie rotting in the f?elds and transport is almost at a stand-still, but V’ahya Khan, Pakistan president, says these reports are exaggerated.

“The world bank has warned that normalcy in East Pakistan is’ impossible until the West Pakistan army withdraws. The refuges will not return home even at gun-point. India cannot afford to feed them indefinitely. -The world community does not seem to care. famine faces the people still living in fast Pakistan. Over and over again you hear the same answer. +tonomy for Bang/a Desh. A political solution.”

What do you do about

nine million refugees?

Consider the population of Ontario and Quebec multiplied by a factor of ten. Then imagine that the entire population of both the western provinces from Manitoba to B.C. and the entire population of the maritimes comes strolling in for dinner in less than three months.

If you can possibly get your head around that, you \Nould have some indication of the seriousness of the situation india is facing in the northern provinces.

It is costing the Indian government ap- proxiamtely 2.5 million dollars a day to feed the refugee population. But obviously this cannot continue. The question which faces each indivjdual in East Pakistan is “should I remain in Pakistan and risk being shot or risk starvation; or should -I pack my belongings and risk being shot on the roads and possibly starving in an indian refugee camp?” Some choice.

When one sees the pictures of saddened, seemingly passive refugees, it is easy to say that the eastern mind accepts the conditions of his life without question.

Why should we do anything to interfere? Imagine again, you have been bombed and strafed, your family completely lost, possibly forever, your lands destroyed, your home burned to the ground; you have walked several hundred miles to a refugee camp and are crowded in with 250,000 other refugees, and then try to assume an active role. Try to lift your spirits to do something.

Several sections of the northern provinces of India now contain more refugees than local citizens and of course, the welcome is beginning to wear a bit thin.

To date this refugee movement is the largest .in recorded history. Over half a million people have been killed.

Tactical. military force or minds gone mad?

Some of the brutal actions of the West Pakistani troops have been?elated in the north american press. Reports from observers indicate there are no words, or even sufficient metaphors to ac- curately describe the carnage.

Tar-&s were drive? into the university grounds in Dacca and they simply opened fire on the student residence. The residence was reduced to ashes in short order and only a few escaped. Gunboats moving inland up the Brahma Putra -and the Ganges shelled villages which were built near the river. Jets bombed and strafed villages which could not be reached on the ground or up the rivers.

Why? The government of Pakistan insists that the east

was about to split into an independent nation before the assembly and become another break- away like Biafra.

The Awami League ran on a platform of self- determination for East Pakistan but not in- dependence.

The election is a clear indication of the will of the people. The war is not.

Where.does Canada fit? Canada has sent 4.5 million dollars to India

earmarked for the refugees through the United Nations. Approximately seven million dollars has been sent to assist displaced persons remaining in East Pakistan through Islamibad.

How much of this is actually being used for this purpose is unknown. Five hundred thousand dollars has been given to the UN. to assist in the establishment of an investigating committee which may eventually lead to a peace-keeping force or similar military separation.

The federal government has sent a total of 4,335,OOO dollars and the provinces have con- tributed about 370,000 dollars. Assorted relief agencies have so far collected and sent almost 1.700,OOO dollars ; bringing the total aid to refugees in I’ndia to about six million dollars. A&the current rate of consumption, this six million &ill last about three days.

Still aid to the west -. . . Canada has, in the past, entered into aid

programs with the Pakistani government in the west and is continuing to give money to projects which were initiated before the war broke out. No new contracts are being considered by the Canadian government, but Canadian money still going to the west, although it is not to be used for the purchase of arms and ammunition, still releases other funds within the country to be used in the war.

It is nonsense for Canadians to state that we have nothing to do with the genocide because our tax dollars are being given to the Pakistani government even if there were some guarantees they were not being used directly for the war, they are supporting the Pakistani governlment in their incredible plan to destroy the people of Bangla Desh.

Canadian government Questions and “answers” from the house of

commons, june 16, 1971:

Mr.. lames A. McGrath [St. )ohn’.s east). A sup- plementary question, Mr. Speaker. Has the government made any official contact with the highcommissionerfor Pakistan respecting the very serious charges of genocide made by a Pakistani journalist who recently fled that country? Hon. Mitchell Sharp [Secretary bf state for ex- ternal affairs): No Mr. Speaker, I have not made representations directly to the high commissioner here, nor to the government of Pakistan. The high commissioner and the government of Pakistan have, of course, denied these charges.

Mr. R. Cordon 1. Fairweather (Fundy-Royal). A supplementary question, Mr. Speaker. Has the government as an individual country taken any initiative at the 1Jnited Nations either with the secretary general or through the security council, pressing for a political solution to this agonizing situation! Hon. Mitchell Sharp: Mr. Speaker, all of us are Ijressing for a political solution. It is the only Ijossible way of dealing with the present situation. llnless there is a political solution in Pakistan the refugees are going to remain in India and continue to be a thorn in the side of peace, if I may put it that way. Therefore, we are all *working with everything at our command and using every possible means of impressing on the Pakistan government the need for a settlement, one that is democratic and_ made under civilian control. Mr. Andrew Brewin (Greenwood): A sup- plementary quest’ion, Mr. Speaker. The minister has promised to make a full statement on this matter soon. I would like to ask him whether he would include in his statement the position of the government regarding present and future development . assistance to Pakistan and its distribution as between East and West Pakistan . Hon. Mitchell Sharp: Yes Mr. Speaker; we are studying this question now. There is a meeting of the aid consortium on Pakistan at the beginning of next week. I hope that by about next wed- nesday I will be able to make a statement dn matters including the one raised by the honorable member. Mr. Robert McCleave (Halifax-East Hants): Mr. Speaker, would it be fair to ask the secretary of state for external affairs precisely what type of political solution is being sought to this problem? Hon. Mitchell Sharp: Mr. Speaker, if you will permit a short answer, the preferred settlement, of course, would be one in which those individuals who have been elected pursuant to the recent election in Pakistan should be given the responsibility of governing Pakistan, particularily East Pakistan.

And the day following, june 17, 1971, these questions and answers:

Mr. Marcel Prud’homme (Saint-Denis): Mr. Speaker, I should like to direct a question to the secretary of state for external affairs.

Could he tell us if the Canadian government supports or is ready to support the separation of East Pakistan from the Republic of Pakistan? Hon. Mitchell Sharp: Mr. Speaker, I would like to make it quite clear that the government of Canada is not supporting any movement for the separation of East Pakistan from Pakistan. Mr. lames A. McCrath: .As a supplementary question, Mr. Speaker, has the government of Canada requested permission from the govern- ment of Pakistan to send observers into East Pakistan to determine whether or not the c! of genocide, against the Hindus especially, hdvt: any foundation in fact? Hon. Mitchell Sharp: Mr. Speaker, a complaint has been made to the secretary general of the 1Jnited Nations that genocide was involved, and the secretary general has not considered it necessary to have inquiries made. I should think it would be incumbent upon the secretary general, if he felt there was justification, to have such an inquiry made.

From these sample question and answer sessions it seems that the Canadian government is not prepared to take any direct action which the situation is screaming for, but prefers to abdicate its unique world position and rely on the same United Nations .structures that allowed the slaughter of Biafrans to drag on for eternal hideous months.

There is no summary to this article. There is only the hope that the reader will not opt

for the same condemnable apathy which world powers seem to be showing. It is easy to react to the starving child and the lame old man, but what is needed in this situation is not benevolent brotherly love.

What is required is simple. You must notify your government that you find their inaction in- tolerable.

The government is about to spend a billion dollars it doesn’t have, by increasing its ex- penditures and decreasing its income.

While reiterating that the econ- ; omy is strong and growing, finance minister Edgar Benson lowered the boom on unemployment by tabling a 1,070 million dollar winter budget in an emergency parliamentary session thursday, October 14.

The third point is designed to console the provinces: a 160 million dollar special loan program to finance construction.

prepare for the next exhibition meeting with the Warriors and it is sincerely hoped by the uniwat squad that their opponents .down the road will have time to find some fresh horses. To date the gryphons stable has been nearly empty.

In scouting the rest of the league, it is almost certain McMaster will be the main opponent for the warriors again this year. We have yet to take them in a league game. For added interest, last Saturday, Waterloo became only the third school to defeat a u of t polo team in their history. McGill and Mc- Master have done it before. Polo has been played in Toronto since the early thirties.

Playing before an enthusiastic crowd, the B squad kept the score respectable at 6-2 while the A squad ran the score to 11-l before slacking off. The final score was

Western 738, Wafedoo 736 by Nigel Strothard the chevron

Behind closed doors early this week, it was decided for the masses that the university of western Ontario would win tomorrow’s inaugural OUAA track and field meet.

The final score was predicted as western 138, Waterloo 136, queens 104, and toronto 24.

Track fiends everywhere will agree to these scores being inaccurate but the standings are perhaps correct. They will also realize that the warriors are hurtin’, having lost six first or

,second place finishers from last year’s team.

Earlier in the season it was thought the 1971 warrior tracksters would trail badly the western mustangs due to the combination of a mass exodus to their fine school and the recruiting efforts of their coach Bob “the wid jr.” Vigars.

A paisley canoe, fdamy rapids and no fear of a dunking are a few of the prerequisites for a successful outing with the whitewater canoe club. With the threat of a biting winter, the club has moved indoors for practice. A// interested waterbabies are invited to join the crew as they run the ripples in the jock pool.

Canoe club prcrctice in pool There aren’t any rapids on the

phys. ed. pool, but the members of the whitewater canoe club think there should be.

Now that it’s getting cold on the’ rivers, fiberglass k.ayaks are churning the warmer chlorinated waters of the swimming pool. Odd as it seems at first, the pool is the best training ground for beginners, and it offers the experienced paddler a chance to polish his strokes, practice his rolls, and

keep in shape for the spring run- off.

The whitewater club was formed last winter by a small number of kayak and canoe fans, but the gospel soon spread. This year’s activities opened with a beginners’ trip down Elora Gorgre (a few capsizes, trip leader included), held earlier this month, and last Saturday’s pool ses. ion, the first of the season.

occer wcfrriors fie As the soccer season approaches

it’s termination, the warriors have yet to enter the win column.

Having played six games so far this year, their record sees four losses and two ties.

During the first half of the schedule, the warriors ran into difficulty getting into the team role and did not effectively function as a cohesive unit.

Conflicts of class hours with, practice is the major cause of this problem.

Former football association coach Brian Anabal cropped his early season hopefuls from forty to the present eighteen participants.

Rob Gillespie has been doing an outstanding job for the warriors in goal. and is well supported on defense by a solid line.

In their last game against Guelph, this defense allowed only two shots on goal.

The forward line, however, has not capitalized on the protective strength offered by the defense and has produced many of their scores on penalty kicks.

Although the weather this fall has been much superior to previous years, the spectator turnout has average thirty diehards on a good evening.

Final game will be played against the first place macmaster team in Hamiltion next Saturday.

Watchdog over jocks? The need for a student watchdog

over the present athletic budget is relevent today because we are paying the same amount for phys- ed facilities as we are for our federation services.

Also, there has been a suggestion that the “administration has its heart set on another anniversary fund” (Sulliman-chevron) for athletes and this, if implemented, would-disregarding those wise enough to get a refund-mean we are paying the grand total of 32 dollars (based on be tenth an- niversary fund) to athletics.

Over the years I have been in- volved in athletics and their ad- ministration, I have found that women’s sports are generally the first losers when monetary cuts are made.

Therefore, both male and female reps are necessary to maintain a balance within the present ad- ministration structure.

I believe. that the athletic fee should remain compulsory and not be raised. as the federation provides services for 12,OOO-plus students, too, and it doesn’t need more money.

Asking for student watchdogs over athletic spending is a fair and rational demand to make in the present power structure.

Let me conclude by saying that I am happy with the present facilities (except the lack of tennis courtsj and wish to maintain the present quality especially now, when money is so tight.

Melanie come back? . It’s too bad the writer of the

Melanie review in act. l!Xh’s chevron wasn’t at the concert on Saturday, or so it seems from his review. Even though he managed to send his camera to capture Melanie on film he himself managed to miss Melanie’s per- formance.

Melanie was good. There is no doubt about that. She is paid to be good. But, she was not up to par and it was because of her first asset, as stated by Randy Hannigan “her sincere in- volvement with the aduien- ce.“Anyone who has seen Melanie live before would have noticed that rather than aiding her involvement in what she was playing, Melanie was hindered by audience in- volvemen t.

How is it possible to really get into what you are playing when, at your feet, sit 6,000 restless, squirming, chattering people. Melanie was not impressed with the audience she was pissed off

with it! It shouldn’t take little comments like “and they can’t clap either” -or “you called me back for an encore, how about singing” to get an audience to participate in a Melanie concert; it should just happen.

Melanie was good, it was the audience that stunk. But why not? It’s pretty damn hard sitting still for any kind of a concert after being pressed up to the person next to you, both sitting on a hard gym floor, waiting for the music to start.

Then again, why was it thaf. we all had to sit on a bare floor, no stands; because of the damage done to the gym during the past few concerts. Broken beer and wine bottles, massive dents in the gym floor, spilled beer and ’ cigarette burns are a pompous pain in the posterior. What’s wrong with getting super pissed or ripped before going in? So we’ve gone a full circle : The audience is pathetic so facilities are cut back and the audience is deprived; the audience is inconvenienced and react poorly to a performance; the performer (s ) is (are) put off by the audience, gives us a show not up to par and wonders whether it was worth it.

Please, come back Melanie. Ken Nowlan Math 2

/es, when big events happen on campus, chevron news-hounds are right on the spot: snapping lictures, asking questions, taking notes, tripping over curbs, ‘picking their noses. Like a few week! Igo, when the campus bus collided with an automobile, causing a slight dent...three chevror jhotographers were on the scene within scant seconds, snapping away and capturing for OUI ;lavering readers all-the gore and drama of the tragedy. Or, on a less compellingly important scale ake the recent drama of the federation political upheavals: again the chevron was at tht orefront, reporting to our readers such unforgettable quotes as “I will resign” and “Well, maybt lot."

The chevron does not take this awesome responsibility lightly; indeed our reporters anr 3hotographers are on the job virtually 24 hours a day, telling it like it shouldn’t be but is. You car zount on the chevron.

Diseased Desiderata

GO recklessly amid the indifference and apathy and remember what fulfillment there may be in conflict. As far as possible without any inconvenience dominate all persons. Speak your truth

. loudly and bluntly; and listen to no-one but the clever, they too have their uses. Avoid quiet and meek persons, for they are not important connections. If you do not compare yourself to others you will become placid and pacific; do not-forget the lesser who suck you dry and the greater who quash you. Enjoy the achieve- ments that .have justified your means of obtainment. Keep interested in your career; however humble, it is your only buttress against nonentity and starvation. Exercise trickery in your business affairs ior the world is full of the unwary. But let this not blind you to what vice there . is, many persons strive’ for greater gain and everywhere life is full of treachery. Be what others expect you to be. Especially ieign affection. Be cynical about love, for in the face of greed and conflict it chxpires. Take with trepidation the council of the years, grasping vainly the things ,of

youth. Nurture indifference and contempt to protect yobr feelings from the misfor- tunes of others. Armour yourself with foresight. Much gain is lost of oversight. Beyond the bare requirements of existance drive yourself. You are the center of the universe, greater than the trees and the stars, only you have the right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt’the universe is falling to communists and radicals. Therefore be at peace with the system, whatever you conceive it to be, and whatever your labours

. and aspirations, in the humdrum drone of life, keep turmoil in your soul. With all its reality, commerce and pollution, it is still a malleable world. Live dangerously, strive to be a success. ’

it is time to look beyond, far beyond hopefully, the infantile rumblings and miscellaneous deaths of the federation and take a look at some basics.while slugging away at the story on the federation problems for this week’s edition it became apparant that there is an endless aniount of bullshit oozing around the campus centre federation offices.people seem to be paying loyal lip service to ttie proper words and doing very little explaining.if this fog ever lifts there seems to be some things that need looking at and acting on.this university is supposedly here for the students.we all have our varying beliefs and disbeliefs of this idea.the students relate to the institution in two basic ways: internally amongst themselves and externally with the university, professors, classes and the bureaucracy.internaI problems run along the line of whether the federation should decentralize or. even exist at all.as there is a referendum in february as to the answer of the existance question we had better decide soon as to whether we should keep going and in what form.it should be noted at this point the amount of support that was thrown to rick page to get him to keep him from resigning especially from such arch enemies as the engineers.this in no way means that the plumbers are suddenly for the student union but there does seem to be enough rapport between page and the more powerful student unions to start seriously working on the structural problems.institutionally speaking the university is made up of three bodies, the administration, the faculty and the students:at times in that order of importance.this triumvaate, while not constantly bickering does not seem to be wine and roses.if the students could form a coalitions or at leas1 better relations with the faculty then the combination could conceiveably work to influence the decision-making process at this university to be more considerate of academics and the attaining of certain levels,of awareness than of the constant ogre of administrative and bureaucratic efficiency.an example is the grading systems and schedules which are changed almost every year to make the job easier for the registrar.it causes, however, endless hassles for professors and students.the administration is here to provide a service-a co-ordinating service for the faculty and students and it is presently working’ the other way in many instances.this should also be one of the appointed tasks for the federation council.liasons to the faculty should be made sincerely soon.if forging compacts to combat administration running rampant and general house cleaning and restructuring doesn’t keep little rickky page busy then the burial services for dead vps ought to.this thing is passing.wondrously labouring within the eversexciting world of the chevron’s sports department were lengreener, randy hannigan, bryan blair, terry morin, dave rees-thomas dennis mcgann, ron smith, george neeland, nigel strothard, irene van eyck, don mccutcheon, sally kemp.the jock thought of the week (of all things)...“what size happiness do you wear?“.at entertainment were janet stoody, david cubberley, joe handler, jan narveson, paul stuewe, rona achilles (who we forgot on tuesday) and special in the spotlight this week was otto von giorgiof kaufman.raving in news this week were kenn hyslop, joan Walters, alan lukachko and his side kick krista, una o’callaghan, alan gough, barry brown, nigel burnett, deanna kaufman, and her sidekick co-ordinator george, bureaucrat alex smythe who managed to get in occasionally, even larry burko made an appearance, mark roberts, fender bender, and hopefully we haven’t forgotten angone.in photo this week were gord moore, robert burcher, sergio and chahee zavarella, dudley Paul, carl drasnor, and dougbaird.it should be not&d that there is a staff meeting on the horizon which is going to consider advertising guidelines and everyone is urged to attend especially consideringg the pathetic at- tendance last week.a parting goodbye the gary robins who passed through this week. thought for this week come from lee sha‘ffer, miss america T971...when asked about women’s lib people she said...‘th&‘re fine as long as they do their thing and they let me do mine.‘tieace ws.
