On june 18, Howiepetch, presi- dent protem approved a grant of $1200 to Andy Tamas of Integrated Studies to make a film about the trouble-plagued department. The film will be used to help promote the department to prospective stu- dents, as well as explain what the new program is all about, from the students point of view.
Tamas ‘said he conceived the idea for the film because of the difficulties the students have been having with administration.. “In our meetings with the inter-facul- ty council, we find that we cannot present our ideas in a coherent manner because we are constant- ly cut off after a few phrases. Through the film, we hope to force them to sit down for fifteen min- utes and listen to what we ,have to say.” - r
Several students have expressed The students are trying to nego- frustration with the interfaculty tiate some form of payment for council, the senate committee the students doing the interview- responsible for the unit, because the- council has refused to make

for the unit, a budget for next year which was drawn up by the students, and admitting new stu- dents for the fall.
During meetings between the council and the students, an ad- missions criteria committee* was established, consisting of two stu- ,dents, two faculty and the regis- trar. Stan Johansson, history and Ken Woolner, physics, were ap- pointed faculty reps, and Tamas and Ross Bell are the students on the committee. The committee met on june 16 and the students said they would begin interview- ing applicants on june 22. The in- terviewing committee is formed from a pool of I.S. students who are available for the summer. There are about 250 applicants,
with 20-30 spaces available in the ’ unit.
Loan brief released The student loans committee
has completed a first draft of a brief to the provincial government and decided in its monday’s meet- ing to publish the draft for comment from the student body.
Text Ff the university of Wat- erloo report can be found on pages 6 & 7. z
The brief, prepared by Leo Johnson, Albert Dejeet and George Chapell, is a response to the Ontario report on financial assistance, the Cook-Stager report. Recent recommendations by a subcommittee for the nation- wide council of ministers of edu- cation, based on the same ideas as in this report, was endorsed by the ministers over the weekend.
These reports suggest a re- structuring of university student financing similar to U.S. proce- dures.
The proposed educational op- portunities bank would mean that students would repay the full costs of their education by a tax sur- charge over 15 years.
AS the brief was read at mon- day’s meeting, some questions previously discussed were again asked. Ken Fryer wanted grants restricted to those in good aca-
demic standing. Albert Dejeet pointed out some reasons against such a proposal.
“A person suffering from ill- ness or who was in the wrong
*course would be penalized under such a system,” he said.
The report included the propo- sition that students of lower classes are being discriminated against, first in high school by their teachers and later in the awards program. Fryer also disagreed with this point.
Original abuse of the indepen- -dence elause of the awards pro- gram has apparently resulted in the present stringent rulings. Leo Johnson wanted to know why there was not more prosecution of offenders if the leans were being misused. Dejeet said that prose- cution was almost impossible be- cause the government could not decide whether the c provincial or federal governments should prosecute. -
The brief went on to discuss present problems with the awards systems and p-ecommen-dations to solve these problems.
The brief also criticized the Cook-Stager report as lacking objectivity and the adequate re- search to support its extreme conclusions.

Only 50 of the charges have been heard in the 16 months since the arrests, and only nine of these have been upheld. ._.
Seventy-five of the accused have not yet been tried.
Any student who now pleads guilty. to all charges, against him and is fined, will be eligible for reconsideration.
“The university wants to make it very clear tha,t it is not trying to force the students to plead guic ty,” said Michael Sheldon, as- sistant to the principal.

Progress is saving forty-five minutes driving up to the Bruce Peninsula.
Progress is flooding out the lower two-thirds of a natural beauty spot although alternatives are av- ailable.
Progress means ruthless and wanton despoila- tion of an oasis of nature.
Progress meansthe end of the.Elora Gorge. Or is it progress? Could it be simple selfishness
on behalf of those- responsible for the projected steps to be taken that will rob thousands, hund- reds of thousands even, of the pure beauty and splendor of this southern Ontario naturalist haven? _
Strangely enough; little has been written or said_ by the local news media about the double pronged threat that is promising to devastate the Elora Gorge. \
BRIDGE IT ’ - The first threat is a projected highway to the
Bruce Penninsula which will span the gorge-at its most scenic spot, the point where the Grand and the Irvine rivers join.
This threat, to be realized within the next year or so, came to the attention of a small organization, the Kitchener- Wa terloo field naturalists, several years ago.
They have since spent much time and energy to studythe proposal and have come away with an all ternative route for the highway that offers more advantages than does the now proposed highway. By moving it several miles to the east it would not only by-pass Elora, it would also serve Fergus which, in the next several years, will have to con-‘ struct a by-pass itself.
fate unsure _
rising water to a height of twenty-six feet along the stately limestone walls which now measure up to forty feet.
And, since sticks, twigs, branches and various other vegetation would clog the all important wat- er gate of the dam, it is necessary for them to clear the section of the gorge that is to be flooded, of all its natural growth.
FAMILIAR? Once again the K-W field naturalists have shown
that there are alternative sites for the dam. To simply move the construction down river several miles would solve the problem and save the gorge.
But some records never change. The Grand Riv- - er conservation authority has already spent ten thousand dollars drawing up plans for the dam at the projected site. There is just no way they are going to throw that money down the Elora rapids to blueprint another set of plans.
They would, rather wash out the entire gorge than spend another inflationary penny on planning.
“Besides,” they argue, “the flooding of the gorge will have benefits of its own. There will be- water for boating, swimming and fishing.”
They also claim that the water surface will allow _ people to get closer to the rock cliffs for inspection. - It wasn’t added that they would see twenty-six feet less of them or that many persons went to the- gorge to examine species of vegetation peculiar to it.
On the other hand, the peaceful whining of motor .. boats polluting reservoir water does offer compen- sations of its own.
AESTHETIC BRIDGE THE GORGE Wellington county, the organization responsible,
has not&en impressed with the alternative. 7 The bridge, they claim, is aesthetic and a com-
pleted model of it is now on display in Guelph. (Those who have never seen an aesthetic bridge are presumably welcome to view it).
Further, they add, the view of the gorge’s river fork from the bridge will be nothing short of mag- nificent.
“At sixty miles an hour?” asked one incredulous member, from the K-WField naturalists.
Wellington county authorities were unaffected. Perhaps scenic look-outs could be constructed at ‘the ends of the bridge. There was even the sugges- tion of having restaurants. That way people ,could enjoy the gorge’s true natural beauty while drink- ing coffee and eating a paper cup full of french fries. c,
It would almost seem, then, that Wellington county has every%ing under control. Aesthetic bridge, scenic look-out, just a touch of commer- cialism, waste baskets and “Pleas@ Do Not Litter” signs.
For those who have not seen the Elora Gorge there may be some confusion as to why anyone “aside from field naturalists and a few residents from Elora and Kitchener” would become excited I about the proposed desecrations. -.
However, Wellington county, the Grand River conservation authority, and the Ontario govern- ment, who is so kindly footing approximately two- thirds of the bills to carry on the proposed butch- ery, to the contrary, the gorge is a concern of the residents of Ontario, attracting people /from all over the province and even further.
It is one of the few spots in southern Ontario still in its original form, as breathtaking today as it was in the mid-seventeenth century when the Jes- uit fathers described the wonder and beauty of their discovery in the Relations.
The gorge is also an unique geological feature of I southern Ontario, having two rivers meet in solid limestone, second in depth only to the mighty . Niagara gorge.
Some of its vegetation is kpwn ;o the area only as it is found in the gorge. Wildlife, in its natural state, still exists although it is being threatened ev- en without flooding. With flooding, more than the
just fine. Yessir, just fine. ( now extinct red fox will be lost.
A WASHO,UT SAVE IT _ The second threat is even more dangerous. A dam Unless steps are taken immediately, this pro--
for the projected Montrose reservoir will back wat- / ‘ er up, flooding two-thirds - of the gorge itself, * continued on page 4

posed “ecological tampering” will’ ruin the last i strpnghold of nature in this area.
According to the authorities nobody outside’ of Elora is concerned with their assault on the gorge, and, obviously it is above their dignity to respect the wishes of the local residents.
Secure in their smugness, they have stated that unless it can be demonstrated that people other than those in Elora are inter.ested, “we will not’ consider changing the proposed plans.” Even people as close as Kitchener, they have indicated, probably do not care.
NUMBERSTALK The field naturalists of Kitchener-Waterloo know
otherwise. Wildlife of the gorge has attracted nat- uralists from across Canada.
The obvious answer, then, is to communicate to the authorities that they ,aren’t as isolated in their ivory committee rooms as they would have one believe.
\
For this purpose the K-W field naturalists have asked for help. They are asking for letters of pro- test against the proposed by-pass and flooding. to be mailed to themselves at:
The Conservation Committee for K-W Field , Naturalists,
c 188 Lester St., Apt. 7B Waterloo, Ontario. Another means of support is to contact the Pol-
lution Probe office (744-61111, ext. 3780 1 and vol- unteer to-aid with their summer project.
This will consist of patrolling the entrance of the gorge to ascertain how many people visit the gorge, where these people come from and getting names on petitions to save the gorge. B

I T ‘WAS‘A cool, cloudy Sunday afternoon in downtown Toronto;
-the heart of Chinatown, more widely known as Nathan Phillips Square. A young jamaican singer stood in front of an orchestra on 3 stage, telling the story 01 his country. Too bad most of the people there.were not more fluent in english,,they missed a lot of his act.
“Toronto International Cara- Jan” spoke posters of bright red. Very good, entertainment as well 3s culturation. Hooray for the man responsible for this one.
Looking around, I saw people If many-. nationalities milling around. Most of them were Chin- zse, several Italians and a few north american-looking people. All of them, smiling, encompass- ’ ed by a concrete jungle, and yet they still smiled.
I wondered where the birds were, the trees--far away I told myself. I guess it would be uice if this were a grass field, with trees and birds. Yes, this mon- ument to city planhers and archi-
tects could never be as beautiful as nature’s plans.
An old woman fell in the crowd, her head thumping against the pavement. Her bundle of \papers, a rain-hat and an old cellophaned sandwich were crushed beneath her. Her clothes were old, her grey hair matted and dirty. The shoes she wore were the only things new, but seemingly under- sized.
A. man came to her rescue; many scurried away. Even I was reluctant to- get involved as I w_atched the whole thing before me. She might die. What?
The singer cried “If I had the wings of a dove,” and many smil- ed, many gazed on not under- standing, a few were shaken by the collapse of a dirty old lady.
, “Anyone got a blanket?” asked the man at her side. No.
“I’m all right,” came the whim- per from the old woman, as she reached for the camera cord around the man’s neck. He pulled away and she went into her shirt for a multi-colored handkerchief,
offering it to the man’s wife. “No, you hold on to that,” came
the wife’s gentle remark. “Okay,” replied the weakenec
old lady. Somebody really cares, really!
This wretched old woman, ob. viously alone in the crowd, walr not alone, at least not one hundrec percent alone, I thought.
“We’ll be back tonight at seven thirty for another set, so come on out and have a good time,” echoed the singer from the stage.
A pleasant sunday afternoon in the big city. I’m sure a good time was had by all, that is, ex- empting one dirty old lady, and the group of people who ran away and allowed their consciences ta bother them-for the rest of the day

Free church is good idea Hi People:
Just got back from Amerika. The Free Church Has a crashing system set up. There$ a list of people with places and a place for people’who .need a bed for one or two nights to go and announce themselves. The Free Church people put the two groups of, people together.

India is whipping boy for population growth
I have just finished reading- your article on “Defusing the population bomb”. It seems that whenever the subject of popula- tion is raised, India for .obvious reasons is the favorite whipping boy. -
Statements like “India.....re- sisted attempts to limit their pop- ulation growth. “India...,is fight- ing its use (the pill), thru channels both official and unofficial” in contrast to the supposedly pro- gressive attitudes of the western societies, seem to reflect a smug and arrogant attitude -on the part of these countries and glosses over’ a few essential facts.
l India is one of the first coun- tries to institute a special ministry
for population control (not growth by the way) headed by a demo- graphic expert! Neither United States nor Canada has an official body responsible for population control even today. I fail to see how they are preparing to set “zero pop growth” as their objec- tive.’ ’ ’ ’
0 Indians have no institutionalized prejudice, religious or otherwise. against the practice of artificial birth control, contrary to popular’ belief in western societies. This stands in sharp contrast to the be- lief of Catholics who have yet to re- ceive official dispensation from the pope on such practices. ’
l It is true that western countries have a falling birth rate, but this is more a result of industrializa- tion, urban living and greater prosperity than a consequence ,of official attempts. In India, the greater percentage of people are not using artificial birth control, not because they have prejudices against its use, but partly because as a result of a circular argument which has more to do with -eco- nomic considerations, than with birth control itself.
India has many problems most of which are compounded by popu- lation growth, and it certainly needs people who can critically study these problems, and provide solutions. What it does not need is shrill and strident criticism based on misinformation and a smug attitude of superiority.

We should take a lo+ at our big new home... \ High boys and girls
Guess what; the administration has done it again! You, me and the board of governors own ourselves
I have had a startling revela- tion recently. Several of you, no doubt, buy your milk in the three quart plastic jugs. You are also well aware that a‘ forty cent de- posit is required on the jugs, too. Well of course you get that ‘back when you buy your next jug. So you really don’t get it back. The milk people keep it. -
_i-
Do you think that the jugs cost jr them forty cents. I don’t.
I think that we havelbeen duped into giving the milk people a forty cent investment. Take that forty cents, and multiply it by the number of jugs in circulation, and the dairies have been given an awful lot of capital to get rich
with. Much like buying shares in the company. Only in this in- stance they .don’t have to pay back any dividends and other capitalist stuff.
* * * * And while we’re seething with
anger at the food industry, j I thought I would tell you that I have applied my mathematical mind to the trading stamp joke being played by Zehr% grocery stores.
It takes about one hundred and fifty dollars worth of groceries to get enough stamps to fill one book. One of the “gifts” for filling one book is a rubber mat. This mat retails in several stores f& about one dollar. Employing normal mark-up ratios backwards, it becomes apparent that the mat
only costs about sixty cents whole- sale. *
IAf ter some algebraic compu ta- tions we are left with the con- clusion that the trading stamps offer a return of forty cents on every one hundred dollars.
My heavens, they’re generous. I think we could all raise our
returns if we saved our stamps for a while, then took them back to the store and glued them to the windows. What fun it could be watching some member of the “goon squad” (stock boy) scrap- ing them off and cursing the stamps all the while.
I was going to try to avoid dickering , about ‘our president- elect’s new house, . but I can’t stop myself.
As another member of the same university community as Burt is, I feel that the board of governors also has a responsibility to proA vide me with a house. It has to be provided for entertaining. I also entertain my friends.
It was really nice of Burt to let everybody -know the type of‘per- son he is before he got here. It saves a lot of dinking about won- dering if he might be a nice guy.
Have fun keeping your lawn green fella, I think you might have trouble.
The final price, according to a university official, was $185,000.

Don’t knock the big races; they keep the ship afloat
Regarding Steve Izma’s report on the Mosport Can-Am in the june 19 issue, he says that the crowds attending the exciting amateur races are far too small.
The organisers of professional races shouldn’t be castigated for beating their promotional drums to attract a large crowd. Mosport would go out of business in a very short time if it did- not hold one or two big races each year so they could stay financially solvent.
Since Harewood is going to be- come an oil refinery next year what would happen to-his amateur racing if Mosport went out of business?
The racing facts oflife are that you race to win. Usually that means finding a ‘faster more dur- able car. Unfortunately this costs money. The result is pro races.

Wish city council would groove to rock groups
If the city fathers of K-W are really concerned with the desires of the areas youth they should follow M4M’s lead in the field of free pop concerts. Now that school is finished kids are harp pressed to find things to occupy their time.
These free concerts cost very little; a recent one on Center Is- land in Toronto cost about $20. for a whole afternoon.
But it shouldn’t be up to small independent groups to finance these happenings out of their own pocket. That’s what people pay taxes for. I’m sure the town rec- reation commission could find a few hundred dollars that isn’t meant for graft to entertain a few thousand kinds for a summer.

Waterloo’s George Neeland answers the skill testing question that won him a trip to Edinborough, Scotland next month.
wcmrriofs tops at trials Waterloo’s George Neeland
sped to victory in the sprint hurd- les last weekend. Competing in the british commonwealth games trials in Hamilton, Neeland won the event in 14.2 ‘sec. tying his own Canadian record.
This win places George on *the’ Canadian team travelling to Edin- borough next month; he will also compete in Italy at the world stu- dent games prior to his return on campus this fall. Neeland is a third year arts student atUniwat.
A native of Thornhill, Neeland was the Ontario high school cham- pion twice and is the present cana- dian champion in this event. Geor- ge’s international experience in- cludes the pan american games in
‘1967’ and the pan pacific games, 1970. Last summer saw our swift Warrior claim the gold medal at the Halifax summer games.
The 1972 Olympics will be the peak of Neeland’s career, and within a few years of that Olym- piad, George plans to retire as a competitor and ‘go into track coaching.
In Neeland’s estimation, there are at least six present Warriors capable of making Canada’s na-
tional team within the next year. Last weekend’s meet also- saw
other w,arrior top performances. Graduates Bob Findlay (5000 mt. ) and Andy Boychuck (marathon f . also placed on’ the team. Third place in the javelin and fifth in the triple jump went to U. of W.‘s trackmen, Glen Arbeau and Bill Lindley respectively.
lntfcamufuls In the game of the week, Doon-
er‘s (b-ball) Dunker’s wiped out St. Paul’s 137 - 22. Al Haehn and R. McKewan were top dunkers with 26 and 36 points respectively. Meanwhile, Hoseks Holocosts up- set the previously unbeaten Chin- ese students in a low scoring game. .
The ’ men’s volleyball circuit saw the Bagbitters, Czech Stu- dents and Kin. 4A turn in victor- ies. To date, the Czech students remain the only unbeaten squad.
Uniwat‘s Cricket Club lost a close match to the Waterloo team 154 runs to 135. N. Ansari stroked 54 fine runs for the losers and Maulton Fabien’s pace bowling gained him three wickets for 34 runs. Fabien also shone as a bats- man earning 32 runs. Uniwatis next outing will be at Guelph Uni- versity on June 27. ’ -

open (several are suggested in the text) which should be considered before a major change is made.
l Investigate the effects of higher rates of in- come tax returned by alumni, and calculate what additions, if any, would be necessary to repay the public investment diverted to private benefit by the student.
a Thoroughly investigate the public-private re-’ turns on education and in particular include a *due recognition of the social benefits of an increasingly educated populace.
l Investigate alternate avenues to relieve the “negative dowry”’ element, and consider the ele- ment of social responsibility for its existence in such calculations.
l Investigate effects of various “floors” below which no contingency rate return would be demand- ed, and also investigate the possibility of a valuable contingency rate based upon income level (i.e., a person earning $5000 per year might be required to return .l percent per thousand borrowed, while an alumnus earning $10,000 per year might be re- quired to repay .3 percent per thousand, etc. ) . --

Certainly one would not like to discover five years from now, as Canadians universities discovered ten years agothat so few graduates were being produced that‘ for- ’ eigners would be required to dominate whole fields of study.

tion through its examination of the total subsidiza- tion of the student by arguing that grants paid di- rectly to the university should be treated no different- ly than grants paid directly to the student.
Since some 40.2 percent of university students come from the top 10 percent of the economic class (and 62.2 from the upper 28)) one can rightly ask why-subsidies in the range of $2500-$3500 per year (in the form of operation and capital grants) should be paid on behalf of such well-to-do families. Would not such monies perform a much greater social service if directed into other areas?
Severe deficiencies The Cook-Stager report, however, suffers from
a number of severe deficiencies which must cast considerable doubt on its over-all usefulness.
In particular are its deficiencies in the crucial discussion on the “barrier effect” of loans to lower economic class students which would seem to ren- der suspect its overall conclusions.
A prime example of its lack of objectivity occurs in the section dealing with the possible barrier effect of a totally loan-bases program on students from lower income families. For example; the authors engage in an argument intended to con- vince the reader that there is a “long term decline in the importance of a financial barrier “.
This conclusion is ‘arrived-at by comparing a 1957 study of grade 13 students with a 1965 study of those in grade 12, without taking into account the degree to which grade 12 is composed of students kept in school by attendance laws, non-academic stream students and lower achievers.
Secondly to totally discount the 1962 A.S. Mqwar Canadian study which concluded that “lack of money was the chief reason for not continuing,” while accepting a series of studies /from England and the US which conclude that the financial bar- rier was not “the major obstacle”, seems a deci- sion arbitrary beyond that normally acceptable in scholarly research.
Further, the treatment of the major 1969 study-by Clark leads one to conclude that the credibility of the Cook-Stager study must be seriously question- ed.
Income; not culture,?
The Clark group asserted that “income rather that the cultural aspects of class should be the cent& of attention” (and pointed out that while awareness of the availability of government aid did not change over time, those who made a decision at the grades 12-13 level to go on to university were also those who were most likely to count on government assistance as the primary means of financing their education.
Such a correlation suggests that students from lower income families do, in fact, break out of
‘family patterns of educational expectations and that the awareness of government assistance plans may have been, if not the cause of such decisions, at least a means of making such a decision possible. 1
On the other hand, Cook-Stager asserts without offering factual reason for doing so that they would give “a slightly greater emphasis to the cultural aspect.”
One is astounded by the assertion that one should “discount the problem of economic barriers raised by the 1957 Fleming study of Ontario Grade 13 stu- dents because “only 66% of the uncertain students and 24% of the “definitely riots” would continue if adequate bursary assistance were made avail- able.
If anything, the fact that “only two-thirds of un- certain students would go on were financial assis- tance available,” demonstrates the magnitude of the barrier problem and the crucial importance which one must place upon its existence in asses- ‘sing the relative merits and effects of various fin- ancing methods.
Clearly, if Cook-Stager disagree with the conclu- sions of every. major canadian study while accepting the conclusions’ of british and american studies, much further information is necessary regarding the Canadian situation before the Cook-Stager loan- financing recommendations can be accepted.
Contingency repaymect
centage repayment, the lower. income group finds repayment much more difficult than the upper income group.
Assuming that the repayment rate is l/3 percent per $1000 borrowed, and the true cost per year of undergraduate education is $3500 per year, then an honors B.A. graduate could be expected to borrow $14,000 and repay 4.67% of his gross income per year.
Similarly, a PhD graduate might owe as much as $40,000 and repay 13.3% of his gross income.-
A calculation of the effects of repayment of such sums -on various income-levels points out that al- though a contingency-repayment program ‘amelio- rates, the burden to lower-income alumni, it sti/l levies a more pressing burden on the lower-income alumni than it does on the upper.
(While the contingency repayment percentage remains the same at all income levels-say 5% ob- viously, the man earning $20,000 is much better able to repay $1000 than the man earning $5000 is able to repay $250).
Moreover, since it is assumed that no one will be required to repay more than he borrowed, the high-income alumnus is able to repay his debt rath- er quickly with relatively -small inconvenience, and with a lesser total interest cost, while the low- er-income alumnus must suffer greater inconven- ience over a much longer period. In such circum- stances, equity is not achieved, nor are the stu- dents likely to remain unaware of the burdensome effects of even the contingency repayment plan for very long.
Increased income One aspect of the results of higher education
which Cook-Stager acknowledge, but which they do not fully include in their analysis is the fact that higher education tends to increase the recipient’s income.
While Cook-Stager make much of this higher in- come in their arguments regarding the private benefits deriv,ed from education (and indeed base their whole loan plan on it), they conveniently overlook the fact tha.t the government already re- ceives a return on the additional income due to‘ taxation through the form of increased income tax payrnents.
A study of this aspect of repayment of the public investment in a student would have been most in- formative.
One wonders whether a simple surcharge upon taxes on incomes above the $10,000 level would not achieve all the beneficial aspects of the Cook- Stager proposals without incurring all the problems of barrier effects, etc., which are likely to arise in the present proposal.
‘The question of a possible negative doGvry created by a loan system for female students reveals a ma- jor weakness in such plans. Rather than concen- trate on the possible failure of married female al- umni to repay, the government should concentrate its efforts on raising the standards of pay and in- creasing the possibility .of employment of females to a position of equality with males-thereby mak- ing a salaried career more attractive to married female alumni.
The degree to which a shortfall on repayment would exist because married female alumni would absent themselves from employment is a reflec- tion of the discriminatory nature of current em- ployment practices and social pressures, and as such might well be born by the public at large.
We recommend- r ~NO major changes in student assistance plans
should be made unless a much more thorough, ob- jective and comprehensive study is ma-de than is available at present. For example, the substantive caveat raised by George Hanford and James Nel- son, (Federa/ student loan plans: the dangers are real, College buard review, spring, 1970) suggests that all is not well with american EOB (Education-
Despite the disclaimer that there is “growing doubt” that providing grants to undergraduates has increased enrolment, studies such as Clark’s clearly suggest that indeed, from a financial point of view POSAP may have been too successful.
Enrolment among students from families eligible for aid has created (to use Gordon’s phrase) “an explosive situation” regarding POSAP financing.
The Cook-Stager recommendations are little more than an attempt to escape that financial crunch in a political1 y acceptable manner without serious regard to acade-mic consequences.
The key phrase which points .out the limitations of the study occurs in the Dohell-Judy introduction (page X) , “given existing taxation structures. , . ”
Patently absurd
aMoreover, the assertion that theonly likely trade- off existing is between post-secondary and other forms of education-an assertion that claims stu- dents from lower income groups are likely to be aided in advancing to post-secondary education only at the expense- of those already receiving aid there-is patently absurd.
Trade-offs, particularly when explained by a thorough educational program, can be made in many areas of the economy, public and private. ’
Finally, the arguments used to justify the with- .drawl of public aid.from university students can be , applied with equal validity to students in primary and secondary schools-and was the case in the 19th bentury.
One only hopes that CORSAP does not mark a re- turn to those discredited theories of 19th century laissez-faire which created the “bad old days” of privately financed education-education for the classes, not the masses (after all, students and pa- rents could borrow to finance education even in those days)-and against which leaders such as Egerton Ryerson struggled in order to create a mo- dern, literate society in Ontario. ’

White blotter? \ The last ‘couple of weeks “ white
blotter” or “white acid” has hit town and sent several kids on bum trips. An hour or so after taking the “acid” they started to have tremors and to shake. About the same time they started to get vis- ual effects like an a&d trip. The shaking freaked out the two kids the Rap Room has seen over the last 7 days.’
The reason is that they took Sernyl (otherwise called PCP) not LSD. Sernyl is an hallucinogen, but it also works on the extra- pyramidal system of the brain and produces the Parkinsonian type of tremor that freaked the kids. If you are a blotter user, be prepared to shake. Valium is con sidered by- the Queen Street Mental Health Centre an effective abortor of the trip.

Well you see what I mean about intricate subplots. And the main trouble was that I didn’t really care whether the little old lady stowaway et cetera.
Not only was the story itself a bit of a bind to work with, but
the dialogue was pure Hollywood. If it hadn’t been played so straight, it might have been fun- ny but because it was so deadly earnest it was boring. There is not much even a great actor can do with lines like “I’m a bigamist, I’m married to you and to the airport.” Or f‘When I said I loved you a little, I was lying-- 1 love you a lot.” And those were the heavier lines.
(folk, country and bluegrass) Take about twelve big-name
stars, a lot of money, and a best- selling book, and you get a ter- rible movie. The movie I am re- ferring to is Airport, taken from the trashy novel of the same name bY the shamedly Canadian \ “author” Arthur Hailey.
There are not enough adjec- tives or superlatives in the eng- lish language to use in, order to describe the colossal piece of tripe that this movie is.
The story is that of (what else) an airport and the personal trag- edies of several people who either work there or use the facilities. There are so many subplots it
would be ridiculous- to enumer- ate them, suffice to say that they all come to a head in the last part of the film ,when a prane (probably turning in the best per- formance of the whole show) must make an emergency landing on a snow-blocked runway. It is during those tense minutes that we wait expectantly to see if the little old lady stowaway will band together with the kind and preg- nant stewardess girlfriend of the flight captain who is already married, in order to save the rest of the passengers from the bomb- carrying maniac sitting beside

In And Out the Garbage Pail is the story of one man’s garbage pail. Many things were dumped into Fritz Perls’ pail-of life, uniting and mix- ing together to become the man, Frederick S. Perls.
Perls experimented with many things during his life, seekingthe final attainment of awareness. Many say he gained this awareness before his death this year. ‘\

“A FILM THAT UNDERSTANDS! HIGHLY,PERSONAL, HIGHLY AMUSING !” - .ARTHUR KNIGHT. SATURDAY REVIEW
“We had ‘The Graduate ‘. . . here’s the post-graduate! Elliott Gould As a disciple of Freud, he saw many fallacies in the psychoanalytic
method, and after becoming a psychiatrist in Germany; he still was not satisfied. The second world war forced-him to leave-his home; going to South Africa, then the United States, then Canada.‘ \ \ 9 .> >
His life in the United States was a very busy one-& practised in New York for some years and gained a very good reputation. But his years of experimentation were not ended, even though he had passed through middle-age. In California he founded his home--Esalen Institute on the Big Sur. Here he formalized the psychology movement which is taking over where Freud left off--gestalt psychology. -
Gestalt is a german word with no direct english translation. In a few words, one might see it as the completion of a unit of life. Most people suffer anxieties, these being caused by the incompletion of a certain desire, want or need. On the completion of the gestalt, or the loss of the anxiety, the person can move on to the next phase of life.

Through-his discussions on Freud, tbe ego and self-dichotomy, his ex- periments with LSD and psilocybin, his expose on the humanistic-existen- tial revolution in, California, through to his final resting place at the Gestalt institute of Canada in British Columbia, Perls reveals the man and psychology movement. Erotic, and philosophic, feeling and yet quite ego-
- centric, Fritz became one of the first gurusin psychology.
If the east and west ever meet, they will find a comfortable start to this union in the words of Fritz Perls and gestalt psychology.

Neighborhood organizations which would organically interact with one another could actualize or fulfil1 their own needs within a broader community structure if the power base from which they operate is viable and not a reflection of a token or condescending relationship tak- en, for example, by the city of Toronto toward the resi- dents of Treffan Court.
Housing ‘experiments prove- that people, when left to organize affairs on their own can-if resources are av- ailable to them-do so with remarkable cooperation and thoroughness; or, they can degenerate into divisiveness if hampered by an external body in whose political inter- est it may be to keep the community forum from being a success.
It must be recognized that effective neighborhood for- ums or community governments undoubtedly reach the stage of socialist-based philosophy if their interaction is
. to be meaningful. so far, of course, this has only been possible in com-
munities constructed especially for underprivileged familes or in dwelling plans offered to residents on a proportion of income basis-precisely the people who do not benefit as members of the middle-class effluvium represented by the metropolitan Toronto council or the board of control. .
A successful socialist experiment in community organ- ization can be a pain to such politicians when other under- developed areas attempt to institute their own commun- ity action programs to gain both power and better living conditions for themselves.
Communal concern Eventually, of course, designer rebuilding- on linear
street models will force “commhnity” -meaning com-
munal concern- on the middle class as well when neigh- borhoods take on a “module” construction and appear- ance, built for verbal and physical interaction and not for maintaining isolation and protecting private property.
Contradictions occur not in trying to suggest that neighborhood power strengthens city-wide cohesion, communication and cooperation, but in suggestingsuch a neighborhood plan be adopted in an environment which cannot handle it: a grid pattern city which ignores nat- ural cultural living patterns-in favor of a private lot and two car garage, and which depends on a basically unequal. capitalist economic system for expansion is not the place to expect socialist interaction to thrive without extensive years of physical redesign accompanied by the similar- ly liberated socialization of people.
These sociological and political aspects of neighbor- hood political control can be linked in a psychological paradigm that I expect would look something like the one below.
ticipants) themselves., Even participation in only two national “unstructured”
seminars (one on anxiety, the other dealing with the nature of the university) has demonstrated this to me. As for a “higher form of communism”. . . the implica- ’ tion here is that such a thing means community in which “trust” constitutes the cohesive bond of responsibility, unlike’other “communal” forms which, it seems to me, replaces “trust” with “authority”.
If this paradigm is accepted as a viable plan for prog- gressive development of local, neighborhood self-govern- ment, it must be acknowledged as being vulnerable from all angles to a traditional and hostile status-quo social pattern.
For “trust” has limited meaning in a society which has barely learned to accept, let along cope creatively with human openness and cultivation of honest, not artificial, interpersonal relationships.

The psychological fact to be extracted from this para- digm is that (a) the greater the feeling of efforts being “worthwhile” (in other words, the greater the power re- source for fulfilling‘ activity) the greater and more suc- cessful is each individual’s interaction with others in the local group, and (b) the entire, over-all, success of local interaction depends on the nature of “trust”.

Consequently, development of new individual partici- patim would revert to the same defensive, inward-turn- ing type of docility which also, by definition, dooms pro-

It seems then, that to remove the real local control issue from the sphere of being merely an intellectual game, a change is required first, in the social and econ-
it is evident that trust becomes manifest among people in a more meaningful and ‘permanent way when control over situations is in turn, manifested in the people (par-

T WAS A QUIET sort of day, too early for all but the occasional auto, too late for drunks. The doctor had gone hours ago, and so had the last of the friends who stare at you on such an occasion. They didn’t
feel he should touch booze, but did decide that coffee was just the thing for him. How many cups can one man drink? He had laced each cup with whisky when they weren’t looking, and got so wrapped up in his little game%?nd secret that he began to giggle occasionally. He would catch himself, curse the effect of the booze, but take another slug for it did taste good. The doctor had been gentle, very quiet. What else,could he do? Good Lord, the man was half asleep when he came to the house and obviously wasn’t going to try to console anyone. Besides, hypocrisy creeps into the words of those who console when the mourner shows no signs of response to the, “I’m sorry” of a stranger. How the hell do you respond anyway? “Thank you.” “SO am I.“ “That’s nice.”

He had ,known she would die in childbirth, for her pregnancy had been her joy, and her one true ecstasy in life came at the moment of birth. It was what she had always wanted. Her exuberance at con- ception had been partially due to her hopes for that moment three fourths of a year later.
. Her heart had just stopped! No internal problems. She just ceased
to live. Her soul must truly have been in confl’ict at that last moment. He chuckled. He could just,hear the argument rage inside her. . . “Either the child or the ecstasy, but not both.” He knew the dispute added to her utopia.
Was she in pain? Probably. But he knew ‘that didn’t make any ‘dif- ference to her. Total emotion, total feeling, total sensory awareness. .
i Y .
not even knowing that she knew or was aware of nothing but those 7 feelings. How pure.
She always knew that she knew nothing and everything, but she was never obliviou”s to it and always wanted to be.
. He had loved her. loved her with every ounce of his soul and he cried now. . tears of happiness. She had achieved herself. He loved to, hear her laugh and scream and watched her often running naked down the hallway, screaming because it wasn’t long enough for her to get totally involved in the movements of her body, both practiced and nafural. /
She had been a fine partner at all times. a bitch, a mongrel, an /angel, a saint and a loner. She ,had claimed to him that her dedica-
tion to his person was total, but he knew that’that was only true in- sofar as h-e was a tool of her passion. one she cared for and shared with, if only to be fed again by his actions and responses. And he loved her for her selfishness. .
Their relationship has been total from the beginning. and it was ’ total in the end. He would miss her, yes, but he knew his time would come too. He would someday find a saint who would allow him to scream the insanity passages from Lear while they made love.
He had not seen the child, and would never see it. He knew he could not possibly care for it ‘alone. He would put the house up for sale as soon as possible and find an apartment and go back to his life.
He went towards-his bed, and just before settling himself, cried out, his mouth forming an enormous, uncontrolled, wild eyed smile. “Good lord god almighty, I- love you ---------!”
And then he died. 1
