. . Merit reiected us’ lock ciiterion i
The university committee in- vestigating Ontario student loans decided Monday that the true meaning of OSAP loans would be destroyed if they were given out for merit as well as need. ’
Responding to- a statement by clean of women Hildegard Marsden that “there are too many hangers- on at university who are wasting their own and -everyone else’s time”, the committee discussed the possibility of allowing larger
grants for students with higher -marks than usuafafter first year.
But the group noted that al- though at present there were no or few scholarships to encourage students academically at universi- tiesreward for merit was not as essential as consideration of need.
Also ‘noted was the claim that’ lower classes are actively penal- ized for scholarships under present OSAP regulations. Forty percent of students receiving OSAP loans
, -
can’t receive -any other scholar- ships in their first year.
Presenting her own brief to the committee, Marsden claimed only the student who is highly motivat- ed, mature and who possesses originality ‘will succeed at univer- sity. She went on to suggest that university enrolment should be limited by requiring a 70 percent average from students wishing both entrance and monitary aid.
Doubting the acceptability of her ideas, the committee pointed out that some of the most brilliant students entered university with-- in some cases--averages even be- low 60 percent, and that it would be unfair to limit salary potential by channelling a student arbitrari- ly into the community college system.
It was also suggested that high school counsellors become aware of parental objections to their child’s attending university so

endorsed student awards officer Albert Dejeet’s proposal that part- time students become eligible for loans, stating that since education was beginning to become a consum. er object, part-time programs should be exploited more than they are now.
The committee further challeng- ed the concept of “negative dow- ry whereby a husband assumes re- payment of his wife’s student loan debt. They felt such a debt would in fact encourage women to take up careers even after marriage.
The committee decided to pre- sent a series of proposals to the committee of presidents of the universities of Ontario later this summer. ~
Such proposals would be publish- * ed in the Chevron for student
evaluation and comment before being forwarded to CUPO.

is heavy. Bacteria pollution is dense.
try which was only now beginning to make a comeback after effect- ive american-Canadian action a- gainst the lamprey eel would be lost completely. This is a multi- million dollar industry.
With 1970 designated as “the year of the lakes”, there is some question in the minds of many as to what should be done about the great lakes. There is even the question as to whether anything will be done, apart from talk.
Yet there can be no doubt that unless action is taken, and taken immediately, irreparable-damage will occur.
The situation concerning the great lakes has become desperate. Lake Erie has reached the point where it is threatening to become one gigantic weedbed, teeming with decaying vegetation and con- tributing to further pollution of lake Ontario and the St. Law- rence waterway.
To find the causes for the condi- tion of the great lakes it is not necessary to look very far. Munici- pal waste, inadequately treated, is one of the greatest offenders, adding excess nutrients to the water and contributing to the loss of water life.
. Industrial waste is polluting the great lakes in the form of heat pollution, toxic chemicals,< oil slicks, mercury and solid as well as soluble substances.
Industrial accidents also occur and these have risen enough to give concern. One firm accidently dumped 20,906 gallons of soybean- oil which ended up in lake Michi- gan.
Radioactive wastes from nu- clear power plants, fertilizer and insecticide runoff are t-hreatening the lakes.
-_ Lake Erie, the shallowest of the great lakes and therefore the most susceptable to pollution, has been prematurely aged 15,ooO years by man. Many of its fish, such as the blue pike and walleye can no long; .
As one prominent oceanograph- er has described it, lake Erie is literally “choking to death. ”
Along lake Michigan resort areas have been closed, some in- termittently, others may well be permanent, due to pollution. Read- ings taken along this lake in other % resort areas are constantly failing to meet the legal standards.
On the south shore, in the Chica- go area, pollution has taken place to such an extent that the lake there has become am breeding ground for insects. One possible solution to this problem would be to dump insecticides into the lake!
Oxygen levels in the lakes are low and decreasing, threatening to kill off all life that relies on deep water. Should the decrease continue these species also will die. Bacteria pollution’ is com- pounding the problem.
In the meantime algae are thriving and increasing in these rapidly deteriorating conditions, adding further to the decay. Tour- ism, in the area of lake Ontario a- lone amounts to over 142 million dollars annually.
The population and industrial growth potential of the areas sur- rounding the lakes would be stunt- ed. The present use of 5.72 billion gallons of lake Michigan water daily is expected to more than triple in the next fifty years.
During the same period of time the population of the lake Ontario basin is expected to double.
What these figures will be, or what the economic figures for dealing with the water problem will represent, if lake water is putrid by this time, cannot even be guessed at.
The commercial fishing indus-

Since the time was very limited and it was only fair to give a new firm sufficient advance notice
of their accepted bid, the contract will be given to Modern while other alternatives-continue to be explor- ed.
DROP YOUR BOOKS Next week has been designated
“drop your books” week- in the. campus center. If you have ,any modern fiction books that you don’t need bring them to the cam- pus center office for their modern fiction library.
Steps taken to prevent these disasters have, to date,been piti- fully few. Water quality standards have been set.‘Research on the con ditions of the lakes is a continuing process.
But individual communities havr been left to initiate their own mea- sures. The problem is that the programs are sporadic with no synchroniza tion between them while all too often the standards set and maintained are sadly in- adequate.
Taken altogether, the present steps are at best only stop-gap, falling far short of the necessary measures needed simply to arrest what pollution has already taken place.
The saving of the great-lakes will demand expenditures in terms of both time and money. It has been estimated that, if lake Erie is to be saved, the cost will be 1.4 billion dollars over the next twenty years.
In the case of lake Michigan, a grand inter-state plan to clean up the lake is lying on Ia shelf because the necessary funds are not forth- coming.
Yet it is known what has to be done to save the lakes. Wastes, both industrial and municipal, will have to receive advanced treat- ment and be disinfected before be- iirg dumped into the waterways. L
A strict control and closely kept records of the types and amounts of fertilizers and insecticides being used in an area would aid in com- batting their effects upon the lakes.
Laws would have to be passed prohibiting oil dumping. Proced- ures for dealing with accidental pollutions such as oil seepage and spills, would have to be worked out > and put into practice.
Other regulations for dealing with the waste from commercial and pleasure craft would have to be drafted.

Drug report delayed OTTAWA (CUP)--The federal
government is withholding public- cation of the LeDain commission. drug report until the cabinet decid- es whether the government will take a stand on the drug question prior to its release.
It may be some time before the report is made public.
The 800-page interim report on the non-medical use of drugs has already been delayed several months before reaching health minister John Munro.
The commission, headed byi Dean Gerald LeDain of Osgoode law school, has documented and made extensive recommendations dealing with almost- every drug - currently in use in North America. Its scope included alcohol, tobacco, and diet pills as well as the other drugs whose use is a criminal of- fense.

transferred-to control of the food and drug administration.
Such a move would liberalize the law significantly, although violations of the food and drug act as it stands, are still subject to criminal prosecution.
The cabinet appears divided on the issue. Soliciter-general McIlraith, minister responsible for the RCMP, and justice minis- ter John Turner appear &only opposed to the liberalization-of the law.
Furthermore, many Liberals are worried about how the U.S. will respond to the proposed liberaliza- tion. One MP claimed, “If we act- - ually legalized marijuana, Nixon would probably do to us what he did to the mexicans. It would prac- tically destroy our tourist trade.”
Last year the U.S. launched its ‘ ‘operation intercept” at the mexican-U.S. border, to reduce marijuana traffic into the states. After several weeks, significantly fewer border crossings were made.

US-penetfdtes Honduras BELIZE, British Honduras
(LNS) -- U.S. economic exploitat- ion of Central America may be on the verge of fully penetrating into the last hold-out, British Honduras, according to a recent report in International Commerce.
A colony of Great Britain since 1862, British Honduras has recent-- ly attracted keen interest from U.S. business firms seeking to re- ’ place british investment and mar- ket domination.
One-third of the markets of British Honduras are now in U.S.
control, with openings for more penetration in agriculture, fish, forestry and tourist industries.
A revolutionary youth move- ment,however, is arising denounc- ing both british and U.S. imperial- ism. In a recent leaflet they de- clared : “Even before we have been able to put off the yoke of (british) colonialism, United
States neo-colonialism is already taking over the country...We de- mand our right to self-determina- tion.”

UNIONS AND metropolitan from across Canada are invited
to present their views to the Canadian Labor Council convention by sending resolutions to the Ottawa office of the CLC two weeks in advance. The CLC executive then sets up several resolution commit- tees to review specific aspects of the pol- ICY to be presented at the conference for liscussioq. These cotimittees develop c)LC policy. At the convention, executive nembers are the only people who can Iresent motions, move amendments, and Iresent resoluitions.
The people on the convention floor can )nly speak to the presented motions and nove procedural motions. They vote on ill motions and are the only people who ;n theory decide whether or not a motion s passed. At the semi-annual convention held two
Jeeks ago, present CLC executive presi- ent Donald MacDonald took full advan- age of the fact that motions had to have xecutive approval.
Now, the ,average delegate does not ave the experience of the average xecutive member.
The average delegate, despite the fact hat he was articulate,,militant, and gen- rally well-informed could not cope with n executive who had all the information nd knew the procedural tactics well nough to use them for advancement of ts own power.
True, all motions can be sent back to heir respective committees, but that fould have meant another two years efore the issues would again be dis- ussed.
So the more militant delegates, frus- rated because they knew it was virtually npossible to bring about effective change rider the existing structure, spoke in aver of the spirit of the executive’s rec- mmendation, though they often verbally hastised the executive for not going far nough into the realm of action.
On other occassions the executive would )bby among delegates persuading some 1 endorse the committee’s stand, and in- acting such speakers at will into the peakers list.
Convention delegates would even tu- lly become very tired of hearing the ame w.ords spoken over and over again nd would finally call for a vote on the ommittee’s recommendation.
Such a vote would usually swing in favor f the committee despite the fact that nly 25 to, 50 percent of the house would ven bother to vote.
By illustration, one motion dealt with ould be mentioned here : _.
Be it resolyed that we should- Reaffirm to the government of our con-

Urge the government to develop a com- rehensive ,and generous system of-assis- ante for cases of injury to individual vorkers, industries and regions resulting irectly or indirectly from the lowering f tariffs and other trade barriers.
MacDonald moved a motion of concur- ence of this resolution on behalf of the xecutive and called for the first delegate D speak to the motion.

But while all this ,was being said, the level of noise on the convention floor rose. More and more people left the hall for coffee. Very few people were listening attentively to what he had to say.
The reason for this is quite simple, and manifested itself later on that week. Mat-, Donald and the rest of the executive had a lot of words to say, but none of them would live up to their verbal proposal.

man, I would like to point out to our brother delegate and to the rest of the con- vention that the congress has been tradi- tionally in favor of a free trade policy for Canada. We must consider the whole of the Canadian economy as well as the world’s economic situation when making decisions of this calibre. If we don’t we can be easily mislead by a one-sided approach. The Canadian economy can- not effectively exist except under a free trade agreement with other nations. The import and export market is one of the major contributors to the Canadian econ- omy.
“It is axiomatic to expect other nations to raise their trade barriers if we raise ours and this will hurt the Canadian econ- omy. Therefore I would like to caution this convention of a one-sided approach to such an important question.”
Chairman: ” Delgate on mike six”. Delegate: “Mr. Chairman I move re-
ferral”. Crowd: “Seconded”.
At this point MacDonald mumbled in- distinguishably to himself, and called for another delegate to speak.
Delegate; “Mr. chairman I rise in favor of the committee’s recommendation. As the previous speaker pointed out, it is useless for us to talk without knowing what we are talking about. The committee has spent a lot of time researching into this important issue. They have come with. the most appropriate recommenda- tion since they are trained and must have better experience in the field than any of US. I would therefore call upon this convention to give its support to the committee’s recommendation. ”
MacDonald called for a vote on the resolution. It was passed with a clear majority.
* * *
In his opening speech Donald Mack! ‘Donald had made some very interesting points. He had said the labor movement
It was during the tuesday session that the question of organizing came to the floor.
-From an original resolution calling on the CLC to fight for ‘.farmer-labor unity by immediately asking for a meeting with farm organizations to discuss joint action on matters of mutual concern’, the CLC executive concocted a diluted motion to read that the convention ‘call upon all union organizations to strive to increase opportunities for joint discussion and activity between farmers and *workers in as many fields of common interest as possible’.
Later the same day several other res- olutions were presented to‘the fldor. They called upon the CLC to initiate a solid campaign to organize all unorganized workers with the help of all unions in order to cut through jurisdictional red tape.
Others thought that the prime objective of the 70’s was to organize the unorganized and hence called upon the CLC to take immediate corrective measures to - re- duce conflicting jurisdictions that pre- vented such organizing.
But the CLC took all such resolutions and lumped them together under a substi- tute resolution which called upon the con- gress to simply ‘urge all affiliates to develop a new and imaginative program& me to organize the unorganized’.
Once again the CLC executive managed to take the guts out of a resolution. But this time they did not get away with it.
Several delegates blasted the executive for unwillingness to provide leadership in such important matters. Some said that certain unions sit on their jurisdictions and do nothing to organize the unorgan- ized. Other delegates pointed out that there are several classifications of work- ers who cannot be organ&d by any par- ticular union and therefore called upon the CLC to appoint organizers in these fields.
There was little or no support from the floor for the executive’s recommendation, and the resolution was referred back to committee with a directive to come up
with a working resolution that would put the CLC into action.
A similar referral occurred with a mo- j tion to “expose the collusion of business
and government in creating unemploy- ment and intensify its campaign for full employment in Canada”.
. These were probably only moral victor- ies for more progressve elements, for despite the fact that many’ people had many good proposals to put forward, the basic structure of the CLC still makes it virtually impossible for anyone to da something during the congress unless the executive gives its consent. All the rank and file workers could do was to refer questions back, to committee. They could not make effective amendments simply because it is against CLC convention pro- cedures to do so.
* * * The Edmonton convention revealed
many aspects of the Canadian labour move, ment.
Many of the rank and file people at the convention recognized that collective bargaining alone was not the answer to labor’s problems, and that the proposed solution to this problem-closer ties with the NDP-was not enough.
The reform caucus, for instance, want- ed the question of industrial democracy and workers’ ’ control of production scru-
’ tinized more closely. One person stood up and blasted the executive, saying until the relationship between labor and mo- nopoly capital were studied, the labor movement would not get very far.
Many more people spoke against the fe- deral and provincial governments for “anti-labor” legislation.
And still more people blasted MacDon- ald for red-baiting tactics (see Chevron story, May 29).
Yet despite this dissent, the leadership remains mostly unchanged. There is still the need for rank and file control of the CLC and for a leadership which has a far greater interest in the demands of the majority of workers.
One of the ways this might happen is for the convention floor to organize itself and seize control of upcoming union gather- ings and of the 1972 CLC convention. But this kind of organization takes time to de- velop because it must be conducted from without the CLC.
The basic criteria for this kind of or- ganization is a simple understanding of the workers’ -power both within and without the CLC and a simple knowledge of what the rank and file worker can do if he persists in his actions. Such informa- tion is available, it is simply a matter of communication.
The university, through its research can provide much of this kind of infor- mation to the different union locals. As a community resource, the uni- versity should make itself useful in such matters pertaining to groups like labor organizations, or for that matter any other community groups at the local and na- tional level. I This kind of activity would bring the university much closer to the tax payers who are paying most education costs.
It would make academic study much more meaningful because it .would in- volve people in the day-today ac- tivities of the community.

beneath the level of”...in other words, as an associative term, it defines a relation- ship with regard to a model. The model, of course, is developed capitalist society.
In addition, the term provides a ouan- titative vision of the problem.
Underdevelopment implies relative ’ backwardness with regard to a group of countries. Several abstract indices are es- tablished, for example, per capita income. By means of these indices, different posi- tions on a unilinear scale of progress may be measured. In accord with this proce- dure, it is possible to arrive at simplistic conclusions. Thus, all nations possessing more than a $200 annual per capita in- come are considered developed. In this fashion it may be concluded that Argen- tina as well as the United States can be classif ied under “developed countries. ‘.’
These are approaches lacking in under- standing of the movement of history. Consequently, they provide explanations outside the bounds of actual process and are incapable of overcoming bourgeoisis limitations. What they assert is that under- developed countries must somehow follow the path of modern industrialised nations.
Some proponents of this viewpoint, e.g. Rostow, claim that these nations are at a stage prior to that of “capitalist take- off” (original accumulation). Therefore, by studying the growth mechanisms of capitalist countries, the same cycle can
.occur in the underdeveloped world.

capitalism in the agrarian sector is viewed as a progressive development. Therefore, change will be stimulated by the neces- sity of capitalist development that elimin- ates feudal remnants. According to this thesis, who will be the agents of this change? 1
They will be those progressive forces interested in independent development, etc., e.g. workers, peasants, the middle class and the progressive sectors of the bourgeoisie whose interests are opposed to the feudal oligarchic landowning class.
The analyses based on these analogies overlook the fact that, while it may be true that certain indices (per capita in- come, gross national product, etc.) can be equal or similar to those which today’s de- veloped capitalist countries once posses- sed, a radically different situation ob- tains at the present time.
While it may be true that after England had reached a certain stage of capitalist development it was necessary to meet some foreign competition, it is equally true that there never was any technolo- gical gap threatening the development of national production.
The technological level made possible the first step: creation of the means of production. Colonial exploitation was the most important source of accumulation. Today’s underdeveloped countries have contributed to the development of capita- list countries The early history of under- development must be sought in colonial
towards Africa, Asia and Latin America and matured during the past four cen- turies. The main expression of capitalist concentration and ten traliza tion in the twentieth century takes the form of un- derdevelopment.
The most widespread thesis on the ori- gin and continuation of underdevelopmen t revolves around the survival of “feuda- lism” in underdeveloped economies. Traditional marxist thinking espouses
The development of capitalism, of course, has been characterized by its in- tegration of precapitalist forms of ex- ploitation or non-capitalist social struc- tures. The development of capitalism has not been linear, and, consequently all forms of non-capitalist relations prior to capitalism were not liquidated. Capita- lism has developed unevenly. Its ‘iationa- lity” is not based on the maximum utiliza- tion of resources, nor on the advocacy of
How L(UndeTdevelopment”- , means expl-oiting loc,al labor - ’ \ forces abroad. . - fl.
This is the way the famous thesis of the historic mission of the national bourgeoi- sie to achieve capitalist development is explained.
The majority of Latin America’s com- ,-munist parties have sought out the nation- al bourgeoisie. The strategy’ that they have often followed and * not abandoned, has always led to failure and the deception of the people. These repeated failures are not due to the good or bad intentions of individuals or social groups.
They occur for a very simple reason: a task that does not exist cannot be carried Out. Capitalist development cannot be a- chieved in those places where capitalism al- ready exists, albeit in an
5 nderdeveloped
form. Let us understand it clearly, under- development is the capitalist form of exis-’ tence in the underdeveloped countries.
The dichotomy development-underde- velopment is the expression of a single process: the process of the development of capitalism. This system must be cor- rectly analyzed as a global structure of exploitation of social classes and groups organized internationally and nationally at different levels and among which ex- ploitive relations are apparent.
There exists in every structure-a domin- ant element which articulates and organ- izes the other elements withinit. This can be simply expressed as the profit motive. The operation of capitalism is shaped by ‘it and, consequently, the mechanism of, ex- ploitation is what produces the separation and distinction between the developed and the underdeveloped areas.
The mechanism of capitalism operates so that once a region advances along that path it begins to integrate others as well, but in a subordinate fashion. The econom- ic surplus generated in the underdeveloped areas benefits the growth and develop- ment of the capitalist areas.
When stated abstractly, this seems to be an empty generalization. However, a pro- bing examination of the history of coloniza; tion provides proof of the transfer of wealth from the colonies to the metropolis. His- torical analysis is not the only way to prove the point.
Scientific examination of the present relations between the developed and the underdeveloped nations indicated that this tendency continues to operate. It does so where unfair exchange, foreign invest- ment and monopoly capital constitute the instruments and mechanisms by which imperialism appropriates to itself the ec- onomic surplus generated in the under- developed areas.
Con&quently, the development of ca- pitalism in some countries has meant the generation of underdevelopment for others. Nevertheless, the idea that it is possible to make the transition from un- derdevelopment to development within the capitalist framework is widely shared. It is echoed at many international confe- rences and many leftist parties use it as the theoretical justification for the aid that the socialist countries provide to the Latin American oligarchies.
To refer today to countries on the road to development is to mystify reality and to confuse the possibilities of economic growth with development. The latter can only occur by breaking the chain of under- development. a
This becomes possible only by breaking with the capitalist system.
There is’no other alternative. The choic- es are clear: capitalist underdevelop- ment or socialist revolution. -_

The show features a panel of three sup- posedly knowledgable people, and is host- ed by Ned Kelleher of channel 13. Topics for discussion have ranged from the canad- ianization issue to drugs to religion in ed- ucation.
The guests on the show usually cover a fairly broad segment of the political spec- trum. On one recent program dealing with the role of the journalist in influencing ’ public opinion, the panelists included Jim Klinck, formerly of the Chevron, Sandy Baird of the K-W Record, and Peter Smith from Conestoga College’s journalism de-
, partment. ’
Perhaps the biggest drawback ‘with in guest is Kelleher himself. His manner is that of a car salesman, which he is, and he tends to dominate the conversation, asking questions of the panelists and then answer- ing them himself. He comes across too loud and his own biases are usually quite evident. This could be blamed onhis rel- ative inexperience or his arrogance or both. In “general it tends to -detract from the ov- erall quality of the show.
Each week’s edition (there have been 20 so far) usually features some relevant film footage, done by UofW’s audio-visual department. Much of the discussion centred around
Klinck’s contention that there is a form of conspiracy within the establishment press, geared to maintaining. the status quo. This was vociferously denied by both Baird and Kelleher, who claimed that each individual newspaper sets its own editorial standards and that any duplication is purely coinciden- tal. Klinck’s argument that it is a conspir- acy of circumstame rather than by design
On a program dealing with women’s liberation, the camera showed Andy Tamas credited with “Ideas” for the show, doing the dishes and taking care of baby. Tamas’ wife. Sue. was a nanelist on the same pro-
was drowned out by Baird’s contention that no one has ever told him what to write. Needless to say, the question of a conspir- t acy was not resolved.
Programs ,such as in guest serve an im- portant function in that they bring together a variety of different viewpoints to discuss some of the issues that affect us all, every day. ,

gram, expounding the women’s lib point of view.
Last monday’s show brought out the im- portance of having a wide range of opinion among the guests. The topic under analysis was religion in education; there were only two guests as opposed to the usual three, and there was little disagreement between both them and Kelleher. It was the dullest program of the series that I have seen. This can be traced back to the fact that they were in agreement on so many points. Ex- cept for the occasional freudian slip, there was really very little to hold the interest of the viewer. i
In sharp contrast to this was a show on drugs. There was much heated debate be- tween Fred Kemp of UofW’s psychology department and Al Barron, a lawyer and former Kitchener magistrate, on the mor- al, legal and social aspects of drug use, es- pecially the “soft” drugs, such as mari- juana and hash. The program was both in- teresting and educational.
The selection of panelists has been quite good, although there is. usually one who has to take a back seat to the rest. While prob- ably unavoidable, this is unfortunate, since each of them undeniably has some relevant
information or a point of view to present. The only time this imbalance was bene-
ficial was during a segment on canadianiza- tion. George Haggar and Max Saltsman completely dominated the third panelist, a Prof Weir from WLU’s department of ec-
’ onomics. Weir’s comments were so reac- tionary and boring, that he was obviously missing’ the point of the whole issue.
Next monday’s show will be on social dissent, and the guests include Kemp, Ross Taylor, grad , psychology at UofW, and Father John Shrier from the Waterloo)Pen- tecostal Tabernacle. The show will also feature some film coverage of the recent anti war demonstration in Kitchener.
After that will be one on education which\ will attempt to answer’ the question: Is it better to teach a 65year-old woman music than to graduate three engineers?
The last program in this year’s series is entitled “Why work for a living?”
The show can be seen on mondays at 11:45 pm. It may return in the fall, and if so willbe on at l0 pm in an attempt to reach a larger audience.
If you haven’t seen it before, tune in this monday; it’s well worth it, and who knows, you might learn something: ,

Rock festivals ’ hungup on money
Rock festivals are always a little confusing, because there are a lot of free-ks, but it’s all over money.
Like Scarborough Fair, which was <pleasant, because the music was good, the weather was nice, and the crowd wasn’t too big.
Lots of people up on the hill, outside, not paying the $4.50 ($5.56 at the door) prices-. When request- ed, right after Butterfield’s set, to let the free people on the hill in, the “hip” mc laid the whole money scene down for all to see. _
“This all costs money. They do not want to pay. They want to rip you off. / do my trips and nobody horns in on my trips.” And on and on. The crowd quieted down. He read from Rolling stone, and the, next act came on.
The practical points are almost irrelevant. There really was room for more people, people who weren’t going to pay anyway (the bands weren’t all that great), and they would’ve bought the promotor’s apples and oranges and hamburgers. But more im- portantly, this was a gathering of a nation, Woodstock Nation, and it’s our music, and those were our brothers and sisters, and most of us wouldn’t really have given a shit if we had been “ripped off”.
So the cops continued to wander around, the freeks continued to listen to the music, and the people on the hill went -home. We went home later and the money people once again let us ease ourselves into their trap. Up against our- selves, motherfuckers.

‘The primary goal of -engineering education is to prepare the student, ideblogically, for constructive particifiation f -e in the competitive, profit-,motivated economy.’ * f / by Ken Clowes & Mike Novak I _
“Look around you. All you see was made by either god or an. engineer. ”
T HE STATEMENT ABOVE was used / last year at McGill as the theme of
an address to a group of freshman engineers-brand new inputs to the Mc- Gill Assembly Line at Engineering fresh- man reception week. _
During most ,of the week the freshmen had learned about “demolishing forty beers” and so, in this atmosphere, the speech was looked on only as another glorification of the engineer; the fresh- men thought about the speech about as much as they’ contemplated “flush that fartsman down the drain”. Unfortunately, what was said was not meant simply as a narcissistic glorification of the engineer but i-s frighteningly true (or perhaps only half true but more frightening if you’re an atheist. ) -
The freshmen quickly forgot the speech anyway (which is understandable consid- ering the carnival atmosphere in which the dean chose to make his remark) but what is unforgivable is that the speaker and the faculty of engineering totally ig- nored and still do the social fact that en- gineers do create most of the things in this society. In fact, nowhere in the en- gineering program is any effort taken to make the engineer aware of the whole scope of his work and its direct effects on the human environment.
The question relating to the “social :relevance of engineering” have been dis-i cussed at great length in the past and there is little point in rehashing famil- iar points. Most people are aware that technology has a’ great effect on society but there ‘is‘ disagreement as to how far this abstract engineering affects society” idea directly concerns the engineer. As L.A. Woods, director of US air force of- fice of space research, puts it: “Now why is the water pollution problem and the lack of interest in it regarded as an engin- eer’s problem? Isn’t it a social problem?. . more a matter of social-political activity” This ‘jargument” seems to be based on the somewhat obscure deduction that social a^nd political problems necessar- ily, have no direct or particular interest to the engineer.
Many people seem to believe that al- though a problem <may be caused by technology, the people responsible for its recognition and solution are the pol- itician or the “they” directly connected
with the political system. The engineer’s role is simply that of the proverbial “good citizen” or, at most, that of an advisor to a politician (but the politician makes the first move to seek advice and to define its extent).
‘The idea that an engineer has no special responsibility for the socio-political de- cisions involved in technological changes ignores the fact that the engineer has a unique understanding of technology. , In fact, the converse is true - the engineer is in potentially the best position to predict the social implications of any given tech- nological change. The engineer is of nec- essity involved at the first stages in the development of any technological “ad- vance’ ’ . He can be involved in a project whose very existence may only be known to a few people and which may have far- reaching consequences which only he can realize. So, it is the engineer’s respdnsibil- ity to consider, from the outset any social consequences of his work.
For example, twenty years ago there was very little public interest or work done on the problems of pollution. At that time, the engineer was in a position to realize the consequences of the pol- lution caused by industry but, as he had not been educated to even think about such things, the public was not aware of the problem and nothing was done to alleviate it. Because of this inaction, we are faced today with a crisis situation in pollution.
It has become increasingly obvious that a change in attitude and orientation to- wards the “humanities and social sci- ences” is required on the part of the en- gineering profession in general, and en- gineering educators in particular. In- deed it is the large role that technology plays and has played in the development of our present society which primarily has necessitated this change.
Yet the attitude of engineering educat- ors, in general, has not caught up with the changes which have been wrought by their own profession. They regard the “humanities and social sciences” as a means by which the engineer may broad- en his mind and develop interests “out- side’-’ the profession. They also feel that any understanding of the social and pol- itical implications of the engineer’s work (if at all necessary) will be gained by the engineer through study on his own. As well, the meaning implied by the term “humanities and social sciences” is in- terpreted almost from a purely “clas- sical” (aristocratic) point of view.

by the liberal arts faculty. Of course this strategy has not been successful, basic- ally because the liberal arts courses themselves have not adapted to the im- plications of technology in our present society and its effect on the human con- dition.
So, from a practical viewpoint, these courses are, irrelevant to the engineer. As well, it is unfortunate that in general en- gineering faculties have not realized the fallacy of the liberal arts approach to the social part of engineering education, or having realized the” fallacy, have not -al- $ tered the curricula in a meaningful man- ner. ~
A new‘approach towards social studies
Lynn White Jr., professor of history at UCLA, writes “The basic professional fact is that the individual engineer today is increasingly threatened with technical ’ obsolescence in proportion as he is not also a humanist”.
Just as a graduating engineer who could not manipulate a slide-rule or-program a i computer’ would be considered inade-‘ quately trained, so an engineer who has not consideed his role in society or its ef- feet on-that society mustbe considered un- prepared for his future work: The role of the engineer is expanding to such a large &ent that engineering educators *can no , longer realistically ignore the -changing situation. ~
, ALL THAT was futile. I did not exist to write poems, to preach or to paint; nei- ther I nor anyone else. All of that was incidental. Each man had only one genu- ine vocation- to find the way to himself. He might end up as poet or madman, as prophet or criminal- that was not his affair, ultimately it was of no concern. His taskewas to- discover his own destiny-not an arbitrary one-and live it out, wholly and resolutely within himself. {Everything. else was only a would-be existence, an attempt at evasion,. a flight back to the ideals of the masses, con-
_ formity and fear of one’s own inwardness. The new vision rose up before me, glimpsed a hundred times, possibly even expressed before but now experienc- ed for the first time-by me.
