Your home away from home in university residence will cost you more next year, as, in keeping with our inflationary time, the cost of coddling spirals to un- precedented heights.

Warden of residence Ron Eydt and vice-president (finance) Bruce Gellatly released the information in a joint report to the ~~ executive committee of-the Board of Governors last week, and revealed that the residences are running a $100,000 deficit on their $2.5 million budget. Next year’s costs are expected to increase *by $212,000 as expenditures rise chiefly in the areas of food, salaries and utilities.

If the price,changes are passed, by the Board of Governors-and they’re almost as quick with the rubberstamp as the students’

council-village fees will be increased by $80 per term, and Minota Hagey fees by $5.

Room and board in the villages for I the eight months of the ’ academic year will then cost $1,340 fora single room, and $I,,240 for a double, roughly four or five hundred dollars more than the cost of living for a similar period in a house or apartment in the community .

Naturally the residences provide many comforts with which off- campus living arrangements cannot \ compete. Included in the roster of village amenities are such luxury items as maid service. close proximity to the academic hub of the campus, and freedom from the domestic drudgery of changing one’s own sheets and cooking one ‘s own meals.

A pretty fancy lifestyle for those who,can afford it, though-even this privileged few must soon begin to feel the economic pinch.

Strike ends MONTREAL (CUP >-January 11 saw the non-teaching professionals at two CEGEPS ’ Vieux Montreal and Edouard Montpetit-return to work after a three week strike.

, Last spring the non-teaching professionals at four CEGEPS (community colleges) unionized : at Vieux Montreal, Edouard Montpetit, Limoilou, and Montmorency.

Dissatisfaction with salaries and working conditions -drove the union to open negotiations for a new contract last May. The end of summer saw no progress made, and the union asked for a conciliation period of ninety days. ’

No agreement emerged from the conciliation process, and by late December the four CEGEPS were able to strike. About 100 people at Vieux Montreal and Edouard Montpetit struck.

‘. The timing of the strike was well chosen, for it coincided with the opening registration for the spring semester (early January). This forced the college administrators to negotiate around the clock for three weeks. On Jan. 11 a settlement was reached,and regular registration began Jan. 14.

Information about support for the strikers was scarce. Teaching staff expressed their support, but only in a semi-official manner. Sympathetic students were unable to express support in any effective and meaningful way because the action took place during the holidays. --

Commie honoured -DOWNSVIEW, ONT (CUP)--Bethune College at York University officially opened Jan. 31. _ The college,- which concentrates on Third _ World studies, is

named after Dr. Norman Bethune, noted for his medical work on the side of the people during the Spanish and Chinese revolutionary wars.

At the opening, Si Schiu-Min, first secretary, cultural division of the Chinese Embassy in Ottawa, said the people of China regard Bethune very highly and concluded with a wish that “the spirit of Dr. Bethune shines’ forever, may the friendship of the people of Canada and the people of the Peoples’ Republic shine forever”.

Hazen Sise, who drove Bethune’s truck in the Spainish Civil War said “I have waited 35 years for Bethune to be recognized. ”

“Everywhere he went Bethune was worshipped. The lasting effect of Bethune will be that he has shown that service to the_ people will be the highest service one can perform-in this life,‘: Sise said.

Canadian diplomats were embarassed when the first visitors to Canada from the People,‘s Republic five years ago asked to see the birthplace of the Canadian. At that time Bethune was unheard of among Canadians.

A member of the Communist Party, Bethune died in China from a disease he contracted while nursing a wounded soldier in Mao’s army.

PGtver fir U.S.? THUNDER BAY (CUP&Paul Filtreau, secretary of Dam the Dams, a Northern Ontario group, recently spotted a contradiction between different governments on Ontario’s hydro plans.

Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for International Resources, Julius Katz was quoted as saying to a US House Sub-Committee, “.,.this company (Ontario Hydra) is considering installation of additional hydro electric generating capacity to produce energy, principally for sale in the U.S.”

Not long after this statement had been released, Darcy McKeough, Ontario Minister of Energy, said “The generation development program proposed to the government this spring does not include any, hydraulic development in Northern Ontario up to 1982. Hydro has no firm plans for the development of these sites as a part of the continuing review of under developed hydro sites. It is expected that some of these sites will become economic for development and incorporation into the provincial grid as the prices of fossil fuels increase or as the large loads develop in their vicinity.7 -

“Obviously someone is lying,” said Filtreau. He is currently awaiting a reply to a letter written to McKeough

asking that he clarify the matter. -

_- ,‘bt Renison

Last Friday and Saturday 49 students from 3 Renison social work courses attempted to turn theory -into practice. They played SIMSOC (simulated society) ; a game’ designed to simulate *“natural” forces in real. life. Each player is a member of the simulated society and is expected to find employment and subsistence. A player who fails to obtain subsistence for two consecutive sessions results in the player dying. Indicators, which start at 100, increase or decrease according to formulas, which convert such things as unem- ployment,- deaths, aniinvestment into numerical effects. If any in- dicator goes below zero,the society dies.

and - pushing the indicators up slightly.

By the fifth session, the indicators ha-d plunged below zero and the imperial power reap- peared. A revolution occurred turning controlof all basic groups over to, Red, and preventing the imperial power from gaining control. However, the society’s resources were too depleted and Red was unable to bring the indicators up. The imperial group invaded, arresting everyone in both Red and Yellow group ending the game.

There followed a three hour discussion in which the players were debriefed. The prevalent- characteristic was mass confusion.

,‘.

It .arose partially because a number of the participants had received the 30 pages of rules when they arrived to play. Many felt that restrictions on travel made

educating experience in the game. Members of other groups learned a little bit about the experience when it was described in the discussion; but you’ve got to experience it to understand it. I doubt that many Red group members will soon forget it.

Employment can be obtained.. from any of 7 “basic?’ groups.

. These groups include 2 industries, 2 political parties, a mass media group, an employee interest group (union ), and a judicial group. The industries make money by solving anagrams. - ey

At the beginning, the players were divided into 4 groups which were physically separated. Communication between groups depends on the use of travel tickets . which can be obtained from individuals owning travel agencies. This -physic al division paralleled

. the economic structure of society. Green group was rich with both

_ industries, Yellow was middle class with the mass media and a political party, Blue was working class with only a party and a union, and Red was dirt poor with no basic groups, travel tickets or subsistence tickets. Red’s poverty was emphasized by the removalof all furniture from their room.

Some of the more interesting events, in the seven ’ sessions played,‘ included a demonstration; an imperial power which offered foreign aid, and eventually invaded the society ; and a revolution by red group. --

The demonstration occurred shortly after the first session started. Red group with absolutely nothing and unable to travel to other groups, decided it was time to --get’ the other groups to acknowledge its existence. The hall echoed with the chant of “we

.want work”. Needless to say they got results.

However, the other groups didn’t give Red group chairs until the fourth session. At one point, members of Red,’ group were begging people in the hall to empty

- their ashtrays for them as they didn’t have a waste basket.

By the end of the second session, the structural problems of society had not been overcome and two indicators hovered around zero

_ threatening to destroy the society. An imperialist -power appeared and offered foreign aid in return for control of the industries. The powe? also offered use of its CIA to ferret out subversives. The society

- responded by working together

Another characteristic was that no one trusted anyone else. This was most apparant in Yellow (middle class) who bought asim- force ( police 1 to protect their property. Similarly Red had trouble deciding whose offer was genuine.

Throughout the two day session, each individual’s behavior was determined by the group he or she was from. As Hugh Miller pointed out; this made their behgvior very predictable. The most graphic example of this occurred when Red group gained control. Yellow responded by barricading their doors with chairs.

In the discussion it was discovered that almost everyone had chosen security as their personal goal. This contrasted with another game played by social workers in the field who chose power. One reason suggested was that students are in a position with little security and this reflects their present goals.

No one left the game unaffected. However the value of the game varied -from individual to individual. Some, looking un- critically at the events, interpreted it as reinforcing their current beliefs. Otherslearned that it is-not as-easy as they thought to work co- operatively. It forced some to revise their theories about organizing people. It also showed how they had to relate their theories to the fact that the environment exerts great pressures on the individual’s actions.

Thepeople who learned the most were the members of Red group. .They experienced for the first time what it is like to be poor and. to have people giving you enough to survive on but not control over

The*,value of the game is best summed up by a frustrated student in a,-class this week: “If everyone pla-yed SIMSOC, we wouldn’t need to discuss this article as everyone would understand it.“, \

_ ’ Burt wants

$200,000

I~mioney A Chilean professor may be

hired by the university,‘ reported chairperson Pollock to the Board of Governors, last Tuesday. The prospective faculty member was forced to leave Chile with the installation of a right wing military dictatorship.

PolIock went on to commend president Matthews for the success of his campaign to conserve energy (heat and electricity). The university has managed to save 20 percent of its power budget in less‘ than 211~ months.

After Pollock’s opening remarks, Matthews informed the board of the $82,069 collected by faculty and matched by the university for student scholarships. The average scholarship runs from $100 to $700.

Matthews also said that the Ministry of Colleges and Universities (MCU) has altered the funding- for church college students. The new arrangement will provide the.university with an additional ~$300,000 for the coming

-year. He also noted that the Op- tometry building will be _- inaugurated, early March, by Premier Davies.

The board then considered the 1974-5 budget for approval. The budget is slightly more than $44 million and shows a deficit of !$500,000.

Bruce Gellafly, vice-president, finance and operations, gave a detailed explanation of the budget. -He pointed out that the income figures were- not ’ yet final for several reasons.

The main ones being the non- final enrolment figures for the current year on- which the next year’s budget is based, and the- possibility that the basic income unit might increase by 10 percent instead of the projected 5 percent. The ‘BIU is used to calculate the amount of government grants to the university. The present BIU is

c

$1916. . Gellatly stated that the un-

dergraduate count was good for the current year, enough to reduce the deficit to nil for the 1975-6 budget. He called for an in- vestment fund to be set up so to allow for replacement of teaching equipment and “other capital items”. The transfer-to the in- vestment fund is in the neigh- bourhood of 1.3 million.

Gellatly also suggested to the governors that the president be allowed $200,000 to “play with” in next year’s budget.. This discretionary fund would permit Matthews to’allocate $90,000 to the library if.Jhe need arises.

Professor Irish asked _Gellatly the value that the university received from being a member of, cou (Council of ’ Ontario Universities). Gella tly turned the question over to Matthews. 1

Matthews said that for the $48,000 membership fees, a library; transfer service and a computer coordination programme across

the province were offered. Irish asked whether the budget

cuts would restrict innovative -academic programmes from developing.

To this, Burt said that he had -asked all the deans what were their problems and that from the responses he received everyone realiz-ed that cuts would have to be made. Burt hoped, however, that the curtaihnent would not prevent “us from being an university”.

Community board -member,- Mitchell asked Gellatly about the university’s farmland. To this question, the vice-president said that “all farmland was leased at $12 -acre”. The university leases -500 acres.

The- board of governors then accepted the 1974-5 budget.

Steve Clodman, graduate representative on the board, expressed his concern for the low pay that graduate students received. He asserted that the pay was $2 hour. He urged board members

, to convince- COU to lift the $5,000 a year. limit imposed on graduate students.

Vice chairperson Rankin said he agreed with Clodman and that he would want the board of governors to recommend to COU the abolition of any maxim% on graduate student earnings.

This radicalmotion, called for a strong rebuttal from vice- president Howard Pet&. Petch said that if the maxima were indeed abolished then universities would start competing amongst each other for graduate students. He -pleaded with the board to defeat the motion on the grounds that the maxima on- graduate student earnings was necessary to avert “competition between universities for graduates”. Petch felt however that the COU maxima

should be increased. . Ira G. Needles, university

chancellor, agreed with Petch, and he-proposed an amendment to Rankin’s motion.

The end result allowed Matthews *to approach cou with

“diplomacy” and to suggest a gradual increasing of the maxima until the maxima is eventually done away with.

Next on the agenda was the student villages budgets. Gellatly indicated to the board that the village student councils approved the $160 increase. He said that the price for the single room for the session was $1340 and for the double $1240. Gellatly claimed that the rates were still eomparable with other Ontario universities.

Matthews further corroborated Gella tly ‘s statement of widespread student support for the increases. He stated that -after numerous visit&to the villages, students had. expressed their desire to maintain all the niceties of thevillages. The latter include- maid service, personal telephones, unlimited amounts of food and the dons.

One villager had told the president that if the maid service were removed, his room would be a “mess”‘. Others wanted to keep the telephone in each room so that they could communicate with one another b , ’

Doug Wilcox, the undergraduate board representative, felt that the increases might drive a lot of villagers to seek off campus housing. To this remark, Matthews jokingly, replies‘,‘that it would be - good for students to live off campus in fall as then there is a great demand for the villages”. He would however prefer students to return to campus during spring and summer as the village vacancy rates are “very high’!.

The board of governors con- vinced that students favoured the fee increases, voted to accept the villages budget. Bruce McKay, mathematics undergraduate repr.esentative, unlike Doug Wilcox and Steve Clodman, felt it appropiate to vote for the residence fee increases.

The last item on the agenda was the faculty salary adjustments. Burt Matthews asked the board, of governors to accept the pay increases, as the increases would fit in the already approved budget.

The board, acted upon Burt’s advice to permit faculty m-embers decent wages.

The increases (6.5 per cent) allow the 199 professors an average of $26,936; the 261 associate professors an average of

$19,698; the 203 assistant professors an average of $15,055 and the 38 lecturers an average of $12,443.

Everyone has had their own run of bad luck and some have had considerably worse luck than others. Waterloo undergraduate Peter Dierx has, hopefully, seen the last of what for him has been the worst luck in a very long time. Dierx and some of his associates have experienced such a peculiar stream of bad luck that they are beginning to put it all down to some supernatural power, and have given up trying to understand what is going on.

Apparantly Lochness Investments has a policy of no students in their apartment buildings, but were originally willing to let the four stay until the end of this school term.

It was at this point Dierx ven- tured into the office of the Federation of Students to tell his story to any sympathetic soul, and to get any advice he could about his legal rights in the matter, The federation referred him to Paralegal Assistance. Dierx was unable- to reach them at the /

The action began on Thursday, January 25, when Dierx, playing a friendly game of floor hockey, was struck in the mouth with a stick, probably not his own. The cut required several stitches in the inner lip.

Four days later, when travelling to the university from his home, along with his three apartment companions, their car was totally ruined by another vehicle which found its way into their lane. Fortunately, no one in either car was injured, but Dierx’s apartment group no longer has a car-or any transportation , to the university.

number provided by the federation and so again, on Wednesday, February 6, visited the federation offices.

On Thursday January 31 Dierx was involved in another accident when the bus in which he was travelling was hit by a van. Again no one was hurt.

The crunch came when on Friday, February 1 Dierx was walking along in his apartment, ran into a friend, and had his wrist slashed by the glass the friend was carrying. The tendons were severed and he lost a great deal of blood. Naturally, an ambulance was called.

Business manager Peter Yates then informed Dierx that there was nothing the federation could or would do in this case. There was no lease signed at any time, and those are apparently the only cases in which the federation can be of a,ny help. Meanwhile, the tenants are

As the ambulance attendants were entering the apartment two other men joined them. Dierx thought that the group was together and did not notice his mistake until on the way to the hospital.

Canada: not a

One of the mysterious men was the new owner of the building who probably saw-something going on and simply went to investigate it. The man with him is as yet unidentified. Dierx could not find the name of the landlord---except for “Lochness Investments”, hardly likely to be the man’s name. Lochness Investments is a Toronto based company.

i After seeing the apartment the

The Canadian Liberation Movement held its first meeting this year on Tuesday evening. The CLM is a Marxist organization which sees its main priority ~ as struggling against American economic, cultural and political penetration into Canada and developing a Canadian nationalist movement to achieve this. The meeting heard. a prerecorded speech given by Gary Perly- national chairman of CLM-in Toronto concerning the lead pollution by the ‘American-owned Canada Metal Company.

Gary Perly is now on trial for allegedly violating an injunction against the CBC after the CLM published a leaflet attributing the lead pollution to inadequate control devices at the plant. rl’his injunction was issued to the CBC when the management of Canada Metal discovered that a radio show was to be broadcast concerning the pollution. Perly denounced the “lead pollution club of -Toronto” and the government of Canada for

In a leaflet given out at the meeting the CLM explained whatit stands for: that Canada is a colony of the US with all our major institutions and our economy controlled south of the border. The CLM feels that the international unions which have affiliates in Canada are right wing, and are bureaucratically run, and are not responsive to the needs of Canadian workers because of their international character. They feel that by throwing the international unions out of Canada and replacing them with Canadian unions the workers will be able to establish unions which are more democratic and more left wing.

The CLM believes that the main problem with our universities is the large number of American

Taxing the

student The sub&t of income tax is a

complex one, but important to all Canadian , residents. Students must, like all other adult Canadians, file a return for any year in which they have income exceeding allowable deductions. Of course many students may not be subject to income tax, even if they have received money during the year for part-time or summer employment. This article is a basic guide outlining some of the laws and responsibilities commonly applicable to university students.

A tuition fee claim must be supported by an official receipt. This is the fee statement signed by the University at Registration, and a cash receipt serves for this if fees are paid in installments. The claim might also include receipts from the university under OSAP, or scholarships. The Financial, Services office will replace copies lost at a cost of $2.00 2 \ Education Deductions

The education deduction may be claimed by any student in full-time attendance at designated educational institutions <U. of W. falls under this c,ategory ). Th$ consists of $50 per. month of full- time attendance in the taxation (calendar) year. Attendance must be for at least three consecutive weeks, and the term includes the beginning and concluding months of the school term. If the student has no taxable income, or needs to claim only part of the education deduction in order to reduce his taxable income to zero, this’ parents, spouse or guardian may claim all, or the unclaimed part,’ of the education deduction. Moving Expenses

Every time a student leaves university to work (for work terms or summer employment), he may > claim moving expenses against earned income. Students moving to a university may claim moving expenses only against taxable award income. These expenses may not be claimed if the student was reimbursed by his employer. Expenses that (are deductible include : travelling costs (including meals and lodging en route) ; transportation and storage; temporary accomodation Cup to 15 days ). Receipts must be retained to support any of the above &aims. A completed Tl-M form must be attached to your return, a copy of which is available from your local taxation office. Property Tax and Sales Tax Credit

A student living in residence may claim $25 occupancy cost for the year. For students not living in residence, the calculations for occupancy cost are. explained in the Ontario Tax Credit System schedule. Child Care Expenses

The cost of caring for children is allowed, within certain limitation’s, as a deduction from the income of a working mother, or, in some cases, from the income of the father. Award Income

Income from scholarships, bursaries, fellowships or prizes must be included as income. The total of such awards, less a $500 exemption, is the amount which must be stated as award income.

In conclusion the writers of this article realize that the alternatives for individuals are many and complex. Should specific in- c3 formation be required they suggest you contact the local income tax office located at 166 Frederick St. in Kitchener. The service is available free of charge.

Work, women

and wages It has become fairly safe now to

demand equal pay for equal work, even women are being allowed to use this handy little slogan when talking about their own possible rights in the working world. So, the issue of women and wages was a well enough established topic for the first discussion in this months womens conference which is being held in the Kitchener-Waterloo area.

This subject was intended to bring the working woman to the conference, and the discussion was held in a centrally located downtown church-Trinity United on Frederick; but even so, the majority of the audience at last Wednesdays seminar were young university women. Working women were present along with a few men but the body of the group was made up of either university students or professors.

Madeline Parent was the big drawing card for the evening, speaking on the conditions of working women in Canadian society, with her emphasis being, for this discussion, the position of women in the KW area. Parent is a long time union organizer in both Ontario and Quebec; ‘her’ union being the Canadian Textile and Chemical Union. Her latest involvement has been with the in- famous strike at the Artistic Woodworking plant in Toronto. However for this one evenings discussion her emphasis was to be the position of women in that work- force and therefore in those unions. .

Parent began with some very basic premises : “working outside the home has become a way of life for women-in order to make a living”, “women are singled out as a group for discrimination”, and that the people that “tend to get the highest pay are men”. To further support her claims, Parent had brought along some very informative statistics on the KW business community .

Her figures used are from a study done in 1972 and they compare the salaries of men and women in the various clerical positions in the industries of the area. In the fifteen classifications there is only one where there are more men in the job than women, and that is the cost accounting clerk. (There is the exception of the office ‘boy’ of which none at all were women. 1

Salaries of all men in any field were higher than the women in the same field, even though there were more women and, theoretically, more bargaining power in the hands of the women. A senior bookkeeper (male 1 is paid an average of $165 per week while his woman equivalent is being paid

$115. Also, in the higher positions of any classification there were more men than women even though the total number of women in the field were greater. (junior accounting clerks, senior accounting clerks)

There were several p&itions in which there were absolutely no men. The pay was very low and the status less than that of any of the male dominated fields. A senior typist makes less money than the lowly office boy. In total there are 2,214 women working in these fields in KW in comparison with the 520 men. Businesses and business men can hire a more qualified woman for less money than a less qualified man. Parent said, “when they can make that kind of a deal, that kind of profit off women, who would want to hire a man?” This demonstrates how in your community women are being discriminated against and being used-they are being kept in jobs not considered important enough for men. Women usually have a higher education than the men that they are working with and while these men have less education they still receive higher pay.”

From here Parent moved into a discussion or rather an explanation of the laws that are supposed to be: clearing up these discrepancies. There are laws in both the provincial and the federal codes, but neither of them have been of any use at all in bringing the pay of men and women, or the opportunities to the groups anywhere near being equal.

The Ontario legislation states that no employer can pay any different wages to men and women if all of the following factors are the same in every case; they perform the “same work in the same establishment, the performance of which requires equal skill, effort and responsibility, and is performed under similar working conditions?’ Any of these variables can be established by the employer. As well, there are four more variables ; “a seniority system, a merit system, a system that measures earnings by quantity or quality of production, or a differential based on any factor other than sex.” Again, any of these can be set by the employer making any appeal that direct responsibility of the person involved.

The government will not investigate any claims of discrimination unless the individual involved makes the complaint.

The federal governments legislation is little more, the wording is not so blatantly useless, but the effects are just the same. Parent suggested several recommendations for new

At the first evening of the February women’s conference Madeline Parent addressed a group of women and men on the subject “Women and Wages”. She provided interesting figures on the KW business community and the salary differences for men and women performing the same jobs. In no office position were women paid the Same amount as men, for the same work. Parent explained how present legislation is not enough and went on to introduce a fe‘w of her ideas on how the area of law could be improved. The photographer was Susan johnson.

legislation the most important point being that work should be evaluated on the “equal pay for equal value” concept.

The idea was not something that the women’s liberation groups have dreamt up in the last few years, its been around a long time. Such a concept was made a goal of the International Labour Office twenty years ago. Since then the United Nations has also paid some lip service to the principle but nothing significant enough to effect any change in Canada, who for the most part seems content to let the matter lie until forced to do something more.

Parent emphasized the need she sees for women to join unions or to organize their own, in order to be able to do anything at all as a major bargaining force. “The day is past when an individual is going togetaheadonherown...Itmaybe quite a male, chauvinistic union, controlled by the United States and where you would be no better off. In this case you can start your own union-it is not hard-a Canadian union.” ,

She declined to speak to any issues other than the exact topic for which she had made -the trip from Brantford; except to say that “equality in the economics is only one part but the big part in the battle we must wage.” Parent was firm in her belief that only actual ‘real-life’ situations like the strike in Toronto have any use as a politicizing force for the general working class. She did not make a very clear the connection between the economic necessity to

capitalism of having such a cheap labour pool like women, and the profits reaped by the business men that own these people.

During a question and answer period after her initial presentation, Parent dealt with some of the myths that exists about women and especially women working. Women are said to have little interest in organizing in an union, probably because they do not have a known history of involvement in these struggles. Parent explained part of the-myth away saying that women are not any less interested in organizing but rather that men have been the ones that go into the place of work and try to organize women in the way to which men are accustomed. “Women have certain needs and problems and we just have to understand these to help these women organize.”

Another myth which is running rampant among most women- probably because its a very popular myth reinforced by just about everything that the society produces, Including more of its people. Office workers see themselves in a class above factory workers and the factory workers, ‘althaugh angry also believed this fallacy to be true. Office workers are paid less, in very many cases, than the factory workers. They are cheap labour.

“People learn through organizing and struggling because they run up against those that exploit them and the powers-that- be. The lessons learned from that will be the important ones.”

-Susan johnson

The next best thing

If one of the original clubs on campus is successful, students from distant parts of North American and many countries in other parts of the world will be able to talk with friends and relatives at home at no cost.

The Amateur Radio Club is attempting to supply a service to University of Waterloo students who are in this situation, where a ten minute telephone call could cost $25-$45. Such exorbitant costs can make regular telephone calls unfeasible. However, by a technique known as “phone-patching” such high long distance costs are in most instances eliminated, the long distance telephone link being replaced by the shortwave radio link, in much the same manner as marine “ship-to-shore” radio. The service, however, would be on a strictly non-commercial basis, with radio amateurs at both ends connecting their radio equipment to the telephone lines.

A typical phone patch would consist of requesting this service through any participating Un- dergrad Society, or other points on campus (to be announced-shortly). The request is then processed and forwarded to the Amateur Radio Club in Engineering 2, Room 2355, where the radio operator would then attempt to contact another amateur radio station in the area to be communicated with. The radio amateurs at both ends connect their radios to the telephone lines to complete the circuit.

If the person wishing the patch has not been called to the station in person, he is called by telephone by the- U of W operator and “patched” in, talking to the distant party at no charge.

In addition to phone-patching, the club expects to handle written messages ; at present by Morse Code transmission, but hopefully by radioteletype shortly.

Definitely on the list of com- munica t ions available will be cheap and swift communications with other universities in North America. Almost all major universities and colleges in North America have well equipped amateur radio club stations, realizing the services available through the use of such facilities.

Such a service is not new by any means, although it is new to U of W. McGill and many others have had such a service for many years.

The Federation of Students is presently considering a proposal to revamp the facilities at the Amateur Radio Club by replacing the presently antiquated equipment with modern efficient equipment. engineering has allocated room E2-2355 for use by the club.

safety in intramurals When the intramurals program

adopted its new system of intramural assistants this term, one of the six positions created was that of the Intramural trainer who would be responsible in part for the safety procedures in intramural activities.

The primary objective of intramural athletics is to provide a voluntary internal program of physical activities that serves the needs and interests of those within the university in a safe, wor- thwhile and enjoyable manner. Safety is the prime concern of all participants. Needless injuries can be prevented by wearing proper equipment and participating in the activity in a manner which does not promote injury. Players who are injured should be kept out of an activity until ‘rehabilitated. In- dividuals should always carry their Ontario Health Insurance number.

It is important that all injuries-, no matter how minor, should be reported to the intramural office, and a questionaire filled out for the purpose of continuing an intramural injuries. study which will and has lead to increased safety for its participants.

The Athletic Department’s training room is equiped to rehabilitate soft tissue injuries (bruises, sprains, strains etc> suffered by athletes participating in intercollegiate and intramural competitive and recreational events. For further information contact the intramural office regarding injuries and the training room.

%- Foul foul

foul! ‘In last Friday night’s basketball

game between Windsor, and the Waterloo Athenas, the number of personal fouls committed can only be equalled by the number of weeks in a year.

The Athenas started out in fine fashion, and *within minutes had raced to an eleven to zero lead. This lead, however soon dwindled as passers forgot to pass; cutters forgot to cut; rebounders forgot to rebound; shooters forgot to shoot or in some cases shot when they shouldn’t have.

As the buzzer sounded to end the first half, with the score tied up, the concerned look on Coach Kemp’s face meant a sound tongue lashing was in order for her team, and that hopefully we would see a fired up Athena squad come out and go on to victory in the second half.

Unfortunately this was not the case. The score see-sawed back I and forth and disarrangement was the order of the evening. Now passers didn’t pass; cutters didn’t cut; rebounders didn’t rebound ; shooters didn’t shoot, and it was difficult to believe that with five minutes showing on the clock, the score was still tied !

The tide was to turn however as the Athenas made bad passes, and there were no rebounders and Windsor went on to a 44-38 win. . .

There is still hope Athenas-it takes team effort, and a desire to win, not the attempt at individual

efforts and negativeness we saw Friday night. The rematch happens Saturday night in Windsor.

Squash victory

University of Waterloo hosted the annual Invitational Squash Racquets Tournament last Saturday, Feb. 5.

The Warriors overwhelmed the attending University of Western Ontario, York and MacMaster , squads by capturing two individual trophies and a new tournament team championship trophy. Warriors John Frederick, winner of the ‘A’ division trophy and John Frittenberg, winner of the ‘B’ Division trophy, joined Peter Armstrong, Bruce Clarke, Al Marshall and John Macdonald in bagging the tournament team championship trophy. The players wish to thank Molson Breweries for trophy contributions and Vince Verdone for the trophy presen- tations.

This year’s combined tournament victories at the York University Invitational and the Uniwat Invitational have spurred the enthusiasm of the men in whites and their chances for capturing the OUAA team championship.

Plans for next year’s invitational (Nov, ‘74) include high calibre competition from across the Border. .

Coming up this weekend is the OUAA and the OWIAA championships meet. It is held over two days with a giant slalom one day and slalom the next. It will be held at Blue Mountain Thursday Feb. 7 and Friday Feb. 8th and is still recognized as the most important race of the season.

To the racers the events throughout the winter may all be equally as important, but there is a certain amount of extra prestige that will go with being the one-shot winner at the cham-

pionship. The Women’s team from Waterloo stands a very good chance of winning at this meet, if three of the five racers can

Guelph, Waterloo, Brock, Western and Windsor, competed in this seven-game round-robin competition. After the last round on Saturday night three rinks were tied for first place. The results were: Laurier-5 wins, 1 loss, skipped by Gary Munroe; Western-5 wins, 1 loss, skipped by last years O.U.A.A. Champion, Gary Weisz; Guelph-5 wins, 1 loss, skipped by Dave Barsevich; McMaster-3 wins, 3 loss; Wind- sor-2 wins, 4 losses; Brock-1 win, 5 losses; Waterloo-6 losses.

The competition-was very stiff, with the top three teams battling it out amongst themselves. Laurier lost its only game to Guelph 7-5 in the 6th round after 5 straight wins. Guelph lost to Western in the fourth round by a score of 8-6. The Western-Laurier game in the 3rd round went an extra end before Western was able to gain the victory--+?. The Waterloo rink skipped, by Brian Clover with Kevin Richardson, Terry Olaskey, Tom Strickland and Dave Polley lost their six games but put up stiff corn pet ition before succumbing in the last couple of ends in each game. They lost to Guelph 9-8, Brock 9-8, McMaster 9-5, Laurier 10-9, Western 9-6 and Windsor 9-5.

Laurier, Western and Guelph will all represent the - Western division at the O.U.A.A. finals next Friday-and Saturday Feb. 8 & 9 at the St. Catherines Golf and Country Club. The Championship is hosted by Brock University.

going 2 :08.9 for the 200 yard event.

On Friday, Feb. 1 the Warriors had a little revenging to do’ to Oswego State University for last years loss. The final score was Warriors 87, Oswego 26.

The next day, swimming their fifth meet in ten days, the Warriors were up against the defending United States Junior College champions, Alfred Tech. Trailing by a considerable margin for the whole meet, the Warriors started a comeback towards the end. The final 400 yard freestyle relay was won ,by Waterloo by a tenth of a second and the final score was Waterloo 57, Alfred Tech 56.

Outstanding swims. are too numerous to mention all. Rick Adamson won his due in tee-shirts’ by breaking three team records, in the 100 backstroke going 57.2, in the 200 backstroke going 2:07.4 and thirdly on the team record breaking 400 medley relay with Doug Munn, Mike Hughes. and Dave Wilson recording 3 : 51.9.

Dave W-ilson also broke two

One can predict records to fall soon to Ian Taylor in the longer distance events at ’ the Ontario Championships particularly in the 400 yard individual medley as can be seen by his, 4:4&l that he did against SWIM TECH.

Thelist of outstanding Warriors would be by no means complete’if I did not mention the Warriors top board bouncer Lester Newby, who pulled it out of the hat by/winning _ the three metre diving against Alfred Tech to keep Waterloo in contention. More will be said about Lester when he dives his way to stardom in the coming championship meets.

Last Monday the Waterloo. Athenas competed in a double dual meet in the PAC building against Toronto and Western, the three teams being’ the top in the province. Waterloo handily beat Western 63 to 41 and lost a close one to Toronto 54 to 50.

The opening 400 yard medley relay was won by Waterloo in 4 : 31 $-the fastest time in Canadian university competition so far, this year. The relay consisted of Marg Murray, Maryanne Schuett, Judy Mathieu and Maida Murray.

On Tuesday, the next day, half of the Warriors travelled to Niagara, New, York where they had ,no difficulty defeating both Fredonia College 69 to 44 and Niagara 71 to 44.

blowing 14-4 lead but, too stubborn to let loose, the Athenas pulled themselves back to a startling victory. The second game seemed a push-over after the mindbending first game.

On the whole,Wate_rloo played a consistently fine tournament and for the first time pulled a game..win after lagging so far behind in points.

Victory tasted like honey to the team and with a ‘GRRR’ from coach Pat D.avis and deter- mination from the players the odds look good for tasting honey again in the OUIAA finals to be held on the 22nd and 23rd of February.

champs, Toronto, 16-14; 15-11 to win the two day event.

The Challenge Cup is a series of tournaments where eastern and western teams meet each other since league play is confined to their own- division Most Ontario teams were represented. I The Athenas played such teams

as Laurentian, York, Carlton, Queen’s and Toronto to hold second place in a semi-final; playoff against MgMaster. Spirits were high after pulling McMaster to the f loor with scores of 15-9, 15-3:

The tough Toronto Blues started the final best of three match with a ,

points awarded for putting the oppone$ in a compromising position. A takedown and a reversal are worth one point; exposing the foes’ back to the mat is worth two points or three points if this predicamentlexists for more than five seconds. \

The wrestlers for Waterloo were, at 118 lbs Tony Beiler who lost a close decision 2 to 1, Jim Skelly at 126 lbs who also lost 2 to 1 to Canadian junior champ Andy Connell. Albert Venetti put Waterloo on the scoreboard with a lo-to 2 win. The 142 lb Warrior Greg MacDonald lost by a pin late in the third round. At 150 lbs Ford Cole lost by- _a decision.. At 158 lbs Don Spink defeated his opponent for the second . Waterloo win of the evening. The final Waterloo points came from Fred Schell’s -decision win in the 167 lbs class. Al Kalb- fleisch and Steve Abbott both lost, their opening bouts.

On Saturday the Warriors faced the _ University of Manitoba and defeated them 39 to 3 overall. In round three the team was defeated by the Thunder Bay high school selects 24 tp 15.

The -’ final competition for the Warriors came from the Lakehead second string. The Waterloo grapplers defeated them 29 to 10.

For the first time in the wrestling team history they were confronted with a large partisan home crowd.. It was incredible to see six or seven hundred spec- tators fill a gym to watch wrestling on a Friday evening. In Waterloo the team is lucky if twenty spec- tators drop by. The Warriors meet Queens and York in competition heretomorrow. -

. - saturday The Warriors brought their

exhibition game schedule to a close Sunday evening with an 8i-65 loss to the Israeli National Teain in Maple Leaf Gardens, following an

. 82-75 victory over the Laurentian Voyageurs the previous night.

. The Voyageurs- have a good rebounding club and though the Warriors had an eight-twelve point lead for ) most of the game, they experienced some difficulty on the boards. The _ Israelis were very strong and big, personnel wise. But having practised together only a few days, they did not play par- titularly well. Unfortunately, the Warriors did not take advantage of the situation. Though only behind by several points for most of the game, they committed several significant turnovers during the middle of the second half without attempting one shot, and the Israelis pulled away.

A player who has begun to-show prominent form in the past several weeks has been rookie guard, Jeff Scott. Scott, with his “Peter Pan” antics has shown the quickness one seeks in a guard, and his shooting range compliments Don McCrae’s inside game. As the Warriors play out their remaining four games of the season, Scott will be of reputable influence 1 on the floor.

Tomorrow night, the Warriors will play host to , the Laurier Golden Hawks .\ The.81 15 game will be preceded by ‘a Spartan game scheduled to begin at 6: 15.

. The Warrior volleyball team: finished their league play last Saturday , placing second in the All Ontario competition held. at Waterloo.

The Warriors started the tourney against Queen’s, the second place team in the Eastern Division. In exhibition play earlier in the season (Waterloo In- vitational) the two teams had met and Queen’s was victorious in‘the two games played.

In the more recent encounter Waterloo appeared better prepared. In the first game of the two out of three affair U of W opened strong with some good blocks and hard spiking. The Queen’s team seemed indecisive and cold. John Capek one of their ace hitters was hampered by a hand injury which further shackled the Queen’s attack. The final score was 15-8.

, The second game was more of a contest with Queen’s jumping to an

’ 8 to 1 lead. After a series of side outs the Warriors slowly gained control and went on to win. This virtually eliminated Queen’s from ’ contention and they finished the day with no wins in three starts.

The Warriors next opppnent in the round robin type preliminary was York. The two teams had also met previously in the Waterloo Invitational, in which York, with national team member Peter Stefaniuk defeated UW in 2 straight. Waterloo had definitely improved since that encounter. They were able to win the second game of the best of three encounter, but York, ‘the eventual winner of the All Ontario cham-

pionship won the third game and went on to defeat Guelph in three games, in the last of their

.preliminary matches. ’ In Waterloo’s last match against

Guelph there were some anxious moments. Each team managed to take one of the first two games, and in the early portion of the deciding game Guelph was ahead and seemed to be pulling away. The UW team seemed slow to realize-that “This was it”. The winner of the game would go on to meet York in the Championship, the loser would watch from the bleachers. Slowly their blocking, and overall net play gained momentum. The final outcome was long in coming, however it saw the WBrriors pull ahead slowly and finally defeat Guelph 12 to 15.

This win entitled Waterloo to ,go against the reigning OUAA champs the York Yeomen. This best of five match went three games ending in York’s favour.

The first two games were very close, Waterloo being ahead for most of the time but Y,ork con- tinually coming from behind. Scores of 15-13 and '16-14 indicate how tightly fought the games were. The final game ended in a 15-8 decision. /

For those interested, the championship match will be retelevised tomorrow on channel II, Hamilton. ‘1

The team at this time would also’ like to thank coach Gerry Baycroft for the time and effort spent, as well as the occasional vociferous criticisms, and also Ralph our everpresent and competent manager. -

While the Western Mustangs go into a losing slump, the Waterloo Warriors cant inue their winning ’ streak. With both teams playing two games each in last weeks schedule, the Mustangs lost both while the Warriors came out triumphant gaining , sole possession of first place. .

In their first encounter the’ Warriors hosted the Ottawa Gee Gee’s and defeated them 8-4. This proved to be a tough game for the Warriors as Ottawa opened the scoring in the ‘first minute of play. The Warriors retaliated with four goals, two in the first and two in the, second. Waterloo marksmen were Dave McCosh, Ron Hawkshaw, Jim Mickleson, and Russ Elliott. .

At the opening of the 3rd period, it seemed as though Waterloo had control of the game until Ottawa came back with two goals to narrow the margin’ to 4-3. The Ottawa goals were scored -on a power-play, and a breakaway manoeuver. Waterloo’s response was four quick goals near the end of the period. Marksmen were Lee Barnes and Mike Guimond with two apiece. Ottawa tallied for one more markerin the last minute of play to end the game 8-4.

Jake Dupuis was in net. and played his usual outstanding game and as an extra reward received the Molson Award for outstanding player of the month. - - On the w travelled to Laurent ian 7

FOUR, -- Last Monday, Chevron. staff-members

? John Morris, Susan Johnson and Nick Savage held a marathon public interview in the Campus Centre *with Federation of Students presidential hopefuls Baron

. Loader, Andrew Telegdi and David , Assmann. Political observers and hard-

core masochists alike will revel in the revealing text of this interview as it

I L appears over these pages. The event was chaired by election committee member Ann Knechtel.

. The past year has seen- a gradual

strenglhening of the bond between the Feder&ion of Students and the undergraduate s&ieties. Do you think this is a good trend, and how-far would you like to see it continued.? -

Loader: I think personally that there should be a very strong bond between the federation- and the societies for one reason. Societies represent most of the students-on this campus, and since they are in contact with the students more often than the federation is, there should be a bond between them so that there is an understanding of what the students want. I do not think the societies should control the federation because there are a lot of students that do not belong to any society. They are just doing their thing, and since I feel the federation represents- every student on campus, they should all .work together to figure

‘out what the students want.. Assmann: One of the’developments that we have + seen happen in the past year; a good thing, has been the increase in commu%ication between the federation and the societies. I feel that this is a necessary thing. I feel that the societies and the federation should be complementary, they should -. not be competitive. The societies have a distinct area in which they work and the federation has a different area, interaction between the two is necessary for co-ordination in such areas as entertainment-areas of specific interest to one group on campus. But I feel that, as the word bond implies, there should be autonomy. There should be a distinct difference between the societies and the federation, their power struc- tures should not be intertwined. There is much they can assist each other in; areas of co- operation are absolutely essential.

I would like to draw an analogy here with the federal-provincial governments and the federation-society relationship. I feel that the spheres - of influence are comparable. The . I( provincial governments have control over certain areas and the federal government has control over others, but often co-operation between-the two is necessary. .One thing that might be emphasized, is that some societi%s are stronger than others, and just like there is disparity on the regional level there may well be disparity in the societies. If societies were to control the federation then this would be to the detriment of the larger number of students. I must emphasize that co- operation is essential in a number of areas. -

Telegdi: It is my fairly strong belief that involvement of the societies is not only desirable, it is essential. As you know, there- was a federation/society conference held. for the first time last month and it is my feeling that resolutions coming out of that conference will be positive in their nature for the student body as a whole. One should also note that the societies, if they are functioning well, have a greater awareness of students at their faculty level. The cause of this greater awareness is due to the greater number people involved. *

- To give you an example, there are twenty members of the council in the math society while the -federation only has four. By involving the societies, not only would we have more validity for the decisons that we do make, we would also have more’manpower at our disposal. The Board . of Entertainment; as you know, is-made up of the social directors of the societies and a chairperson appointed by student council. Invariably this is the reason why so many things were ac- ’ complished -this year by the Board of En- tertainment . . Instead of competing, we co- operated. One of the arguments given against the involvement of the societies is that people not involved in society activities would- be barred from the-Federation of Student&~ Now, that not need be the case. If you ensure membership at the

board level to the various societies, and you also leave some places open for the general student body, for students that might want to get involved, that could be a very workable arrangement. - It has been the ’ policy of the Federation of Students that we have been in opposition to the’

. structure of the University of Waterloo; the way the structure is set up. As you all know, we operate on a bicameral system-that means there are two bodies, the Senate and the Board of Governors- these two bodies represent staff, faculty, students and community. We felt at that time that when the structure of the University of Waterloo was being decided upon that the unicameral system would best serve the‘ interest ’ of the students, as well-as, this campus.

Now, if we make these-kinds of demands upon administration as we have done so in the past, I find it a bit incredulous to separate ourselves from the societies and say-that they are different from us in the Federation of Students. That is’not. - the case. At that level we are all students; whether you belong to the society or the federation; whether you are active in the society or the federation.

A lraditional ,issue iti .federation elections has been the ‘co@ict’ between the entertainment and the educational sectors of the organizations. To what kxtent do you see this as a real split, an’d,- in that light; what would you do to re.concile these two areas?

Telegdi: Well, to me the object of all the boards is the same-to serve the students, to serve their interest. Therefore, by’ broadening the base of input by the student through the re-organization of education-related boards, this so-called split would be reconciled. If the grassroots and the societies are consulted then the direction that these boards take will be in line with the student objectives. By-de-centralizing, the input base, the federation will be a stronger and more viable student voice. This is the direction, again, that I would like to, see us follow. *. Ldade?: I believe the biggest problem right now in entertainment and education--is that the split is not really known. Now, entertainment is primariIy the biggest money-getter, we put the

\

most money into it,‘while the education is lacking in some parts. But the only way that the Federation of Students knows is from feedback from the students, the interest in any type of

,entertainment and education is’only known to the federation by the input that the student gives, and so far entertainment is the one thing most students seem to be interested in. It does not have to be this way if the -students want it the other way, but if the students want more- en-

tertainment than education then that is where the I

money should- go. Because it is the students’ money, you are paying twenty-two dollars a year and it is up to the students, really, what they- want. The only way that we know is by the input, - and the reactions that we get towards it. Assman: I -do not see that there is a split between

-entertainment and education per se, I think the only problems that have arisen in the past have been due,to the politics of the people involved and the personalities involved. If there is a unified federation, if the people were working together then the case of a split between entertainment and education will not occur. Chevron: It seems that one_ of the troubles between entertainment and education has been that people have objected-to entertainment being run along business lines while the education has been run along more or _ less co-operative lines. How would you reconcile that? Telegdi: Well; as I stated in my answer previously, if we take a look at the make-up of the

--w- Board of ’ Entertainment, you ,will see a fairly broad range of in-put, coming from the societies - and some other members of the board that do not belong to the societies. As far as the Board of Education is concerned, it did not have a broad

_ base of in-put. If you look at it, there were very

-’ few people involved, with an awful lot of money.

. Now; if I may suggest to you, if you take the educati%nal-related activities in the federation this year, they were very well funded. -For example, Boards of External, Education and Publications had a budget of $80,000 whereas the Boards of Entertainment, Coop Services and

3 Student Grievances_ of little over d%O,OO(L The problem here is not one of finances, but the problem is to be able to to put on programs that the students-on this campus, can relate to. Chevron: What I was talking about was not how

c much the 3fferent boards were. getting, _ but ..x rather how they were operating, and the

philosophy behind their operation. What I was talking about in particular with regard to entertainment : they generate money;-obviously they do %ot need as big a subsidy, but should

. their whole operation be geared tqwards getting a x ,I bigger revenue?

Telegdi: I do not think that it is the case that the Board of Entertainment is operating with a great deal of revenue. I think that we have to emphasize that the problem is that the in-put, the decisions made at the board level, are not made by people involved with the campus as a whole. When you have one or two or three people making decisions for the rest of the student body, they can take that board in any direction that they want to. In a lot of cases the directions that they take them do not meet with the approval or the interest of the general student body. Now to ensure that this does not happen, as I stated before you have to broaden the base of the people making those decisions.

As a somewhat bureaucratic &ganization, the Federation qf Students has-often had

0 t;ou ble . communicating with its constituents, and executing its poticies on a grass roots level. What steps would you take to lessen this gap in the future? .

I

Assmann: I feel that this is one major area that the federation has failed in in the past.1 feel that there are quite a number of areas that can be worked OP to develop this communication between the federation and the students. I feel that the publication of another handbook would be very useful. There was one put out in the fall that took approximately eight months to compile. It would not take very much to put together another one, update it and-distribute it on campus. I feel a

newsletter should be put out and distributed on a wide-scale - as PanY copies as there are

students-containing a list of events for the upcoming months, a list of the services that the federation offers, information about council meetings-not, just agendas, but information and background about items on the agendas-and that this newsletter be put out on a monthly basis and widely distributed.

I -feel ‘that surveys should be conducted-a minimum of one per term-general surveys, and alsospecific surveys on major issues. I feel that general meetings should-be held to ask ‘students what they feel about specific programs, and the direction the;federation is taking. An experiment was c.onducted last summer that could prove to be handy in terms of orienting people to the federation and to the university as a whole. It was a one-week pilot project that took place in August

end it was called a pre-orientation weekend. During this weekend a number of not-yet-first- year-students-people that would be first year students-inthe fall-were brought. to campus for a weekend, given guided tours -06’ campus, in- tro&&d to various members o,f the federation; and discussed aspects of how the federation operates and problems that might arise in the fall-with the university, with registration, with any number of hassles they might run into in September.

- NQW, the idea of this was not only to introduce them to university life but also to integrate them into .the orientation program in the

- fall, and to help them learn abut the federation and the university, and to communicate this to other students. I feel this can be expanded to the level where there’s maybe six or seven of these per summer, which would involve a large number of first year students, and in the fall, when they arrive on campus, they would have some idea of what the federation is all about, the university is all about, and the problems that might arise. Telegdi: The reason that the constituents of the Federation of Students have had difficulty in communicating with the federation is that we did not deal with all the various groups on campus. We have “isolated to a large degree, especially in

the past-this year has been an improvement in our communication network and input that is solicited from the various student organizations. As the first question stated, we attempted to do this; hopefullly , next year we can formalize some structure.

Next year we hope not only to strengthen the bonds with the societies, but the residences as well. There is approximately 4,000 people living in residences. I don’t feel that we are creating a bureaucracy because J feel that we are fairly open and accessible. All we have to do is to let you know what services we are conducting, and to let

_ I

/

. -

you ‘know what programs we are making’ available. Now I went to some classes this year-not a great deal because I did not have the time-but . - the ones I did hit, and the groups I did talk to, I . stated that the federation offers a wide range -- d of activities and if there are some activities that .- you see that are not happening that you feel that

,

should be happening I invited you at that time to come into the federation office and become involved in a new range of activities. Now the _ federation of students to a large extent is you, . we’ve got the skeleton crew upstairs, and if you / ’ feel that we aren’t doing our job or you feel that we are-neglecting some areas it’s up to you to inform us. Loader: I think the biggest problem that we have in communication is that the students really don’t care, and the problem is the federation sits ’ in its office and goes on with day-to-day work never hearing from the student, and no possible - way is there for the federation to get off its ass and go out after the students. The students really- don’t give much feedback to the federation. Very , few people are active in the *federation and societies.sThe mass of people go from day to day, - they go -from class to class, and they don’t do anything. They don’t know what’s going on, and

‘it’s not because information is ‘lacking in some . parts, it’s just because they don’t really care, and the only way to get them interested is to go out after them, and this is what the federation’s about for the, students.

It’s their -money, we’ve got to use it, we’ve got ’ _ to get themoff their asses. You can’t expect them to come knocking_on your door because a lot of r people won’t. They’ll just sit back and they’ll bitch about what’s going on and they’ll tell it to their friends and that’s about -as far as it goes. For any feedback to get back, the federation is going to have to go out to the students somehow, use every possible means that they can to get it, even if it’s just by using the newspapers, by using the chevron, if possible, or the society papers to get feedback any possible way that they can so that they know what the students want. This is ’ the only way that communication is going -to increase. The students on this campus really don’t give a shit about what’s going on. Chevron;-David, you said you were going to try and improve communications between the students and the federation but you have not been planning to go through the societies to do that:‘Would you explain why the societies are not going to play a role. in furthering this communication. - Assmann: I did not say that the societies would not play a role in furthering communication. I feel that communication should be-at a level between the societies and the federation, as well: as the federation and the students. But to use the

” 18 the chevron february E -8

federation/society relationship to get to the students is a double step. First you go to the society and then you go, to the students._1 feel that youxshould work at two levels at the same time; you should communicate with the society (I

I think that it is important) and you should also communicate with the students. Chevron: All of the candidates spoke, pretty much, about- what the president can do, but what

: part can the student council play in communicating with the students? Telegdi: Well, it has not been the practice of the members of students council to be greatly involved with the Federation of Students. We tried to make use of the members of council this year. Well first of all, in their favour, I would like to state that this year’they attended more council

- meetings than ever before and we never, had to cancel council meetings because of lack of quorum. On thelOPIRG question we sent out the members of council to -solicit the -views of the student body. So when it came to a council meeting we could make a more viable decision.

- But on-the whole, student council has not been very involved, in the federation boards, Loader: Unfortunately, I do not know the inner politics of the federation or the council, I just happen to be a common student that got pissed

. off about what was going on, the lack of information and the services I was getting, and this is the only reason I am running ‘for federation president. I feel that most of the students do not know what is going on and Irfeel they should. They are paying -for it. Assmann: I feel that council members should play an integral part in the communication process. They are elected to represent their constituency and as such should be responsible for aiding and getting communication back to their constituency, and things such as

distribution of newsletters, or holding general meetings. I feel that council members should be the ones that put a lot‘of the work into putting these together;

, Chevron: I would like to speak to what Andy, said. He said he was having trouble getting council involved, and I would like to know how he is going to get the students involved if he cannot get the council members involved. , Telegdi: Well, first of all, just to reiterate the point that I just made, as far as student council went this year, like I said they attended more

I,, meetings and we, always made quorum. Now, in many cases, we have constituency meetings where members of students’ council could meet with the students that they represent. But when

_ you look at the fact that you have five members from engineering on student council, two of whom are off term, leaving you with three; three people that .have to communicate with a population of 1700, For the most part that is almost impossible. Whereas if you look at the societies they have a member of council from each class of engineering, making communication in that case much more viable. So perhaps, we could increase the size of students’ council to- give more representation to the students, enabling the members of council to have a lesser load when trying to communicate with the students.

Issues which have raised the hackles of some , - over the p’ast year-and those which have

been the most visible-have been those iiz the area of entertainment. Some of these have been:

- a] The yed-ferns’ policy, according to which, at some $ubs last summer a dzfferential

our own organization. One of these practices is sexual equality, the assertion that women are first human beings and, secondly, women. To re- affirm the-practices of past federations and to re- state what was understood as being obvious, let it be known that the Board of Education of the Federation of Students, does not support a sexist, chauvinistic philosophy, and it intends in every way possible to discourage such views. Whatever power and influence-we have will be used for the goal of equality.”

I feel that I would never support a policy of discrimination presently or’ in the future.

Telegdi/: I am sure that you are all aware that during the summertime the ratio of men to women on this campus is twenty-to-one. Under the Liquor Control Board of Ontario regulations a pub under a special occasion permit, has to have ir ratio of less than three-to-one, in relation to the sexes. Otherwise,.it would be called a stag and it would not get as many special occasion permits that they have.

input from the student council, they voluntarily reached their decision. Chevron: I am saying though that it was not

, council that gave the decision back to the board, but rather, the matterwas ruled out of order and council did not know what decision was being made, or what was going on at all. Whenever the matter was raised at gubsequent council meetings, the chairperson ruled it out of order.

- Telegdi:’ It was brought up at the next council meeting and the whole thing was dropped from the agenda, and dropped from the records. The

- ‘Board of Entertainment changed its policy. ’ Chevqm: Art Ram, chairman of the Board of Entertainment, said later that the reason the policy was changed was not because of the sexism but because it was not an economically useful policy. Telegdi: What I would suggest to you is that the co-operation between‘the Board of Entertainment and the chevron has not been great. One of the, reasons for this, I feel, is because the chevron has

- dumped ,on a particular person who has brought more things to this campus, namely Art Ram-

. more than any individual should be dumped on. And I don’t feel that your attitude regarding Art Ram was just or serving the interest of the students. Che&on: Thank you for answering the question so succinctly.

_ Telegdi: In a lot of cases I helped. Art Ram with the_permanent pub. Now; like I stated... Chevron: I guess I can’t... Telegdi: ‘And I agree with Dave on this point, you have to try innovative things, and these are

t the areas I was mostly involved in. -

- The Board of External A.fJairs has a&vities in seueral dzyferent areas. One .-of these is in

-- mediating ihe federation 5 relationship with .u the Ontario Federation of Student&[ OFS];

and with the National &ion of Students [MB]. Anoth er is in the bringing of speakers to campus. What would you-like to see happen in these areas?

Loader: I believe the president should give all the /’ support-he can, because this’ happens to be a

student organization: students throughout Ontario, throughout Canada, and the more power that students get, the better it is for the individual student. I feel that there should be as much as possible done in this area, because it can 4 help us, and can help the individual student, which in the end can-. help you. . Telegdi: The greatest problem with OFS, of which we are members, and with NUS, of which

.

-. .

Assmann: There are times when you have to judge whether or not you are serving the student body Bs a whole. Y.ou should provide a variety of programs and try to provide things for all aspects of the student body, rat&& than judge-by what most of the people like. We should not judge for the majority, but we should judge for pleasing as many of the students as. we can.

! - k

.

we are not members, is that the average student on campus does not know w-hat the organizations are.’ =-

Now, I feel that by involving the societies and some different groups at the Board of External

. level, it would be able to enhance communication at least back to the societies who in turn could pass it on to .their particular constituents.’ It

. would also help if the Ontario- Federation of Students and the National Union of Students would restrict their involvement to more student-

1 related issues. Like right now there are motions . existing under the OFS and the NUS that will

. never be acted upon supporting just about every struggle you could ever think of throughout the

’ ‘world. I attended a NUS conference last spring along with Shane Roberts and having seen their functioning, or I should say their non-functioning at times; we did not feel that it was in our best interest to join.

As far as the OFS goes, we gave it a lot of support, in terms of finances and in providing a person such as Shane Roberts this past summer to work on programs in that field. In relation to’ speakers that come onto qampus, I feel that we should have a greater diversity in speakers, I feel we should bring in/ speakers that are more in demand, therefore are more attractive to- the student body. Now, speakers have been in the I

I past year one of the areas where more subsidy has

’ gone into per student than any other area of-the federation. I would like to see more involvement by the students in bringing in the speakers, and letting us know what speakers they want: Assmann: - It is necessary to have a strong provincial federation before any attempt is made

/ to organize a nationalunion. Therefore, I feel that at this time that it is’not advisable for Waterloo to participate in any national union until the provincial body gets-fully under way. The OFS has been in existence for just under two years and has not yet had time to permanently establish

‘itself. It has made headway in quite a number of areas. The provincial government is now turning

- to OFS for advice and briefs on virtually any -- matter in which they consult students. It is this

\ .body to which they turn for advice. Our support . of OFS could only serve to make it a more viable

’ body and more should be -done in this area to bring some of the functions of OFS to the student body- to let people know what it is involved in

: and what it is doing. - .-

terested in putting most money into whatever the most students attended- things promoted ,by the Board of Entertainment. Just now you said that you ,were interested in the campus forums and continuing the speaker series; which would be a continuation of the boards of external relations ~ and education. I am wondering if you are planning to cut down in some areas to give more money to provide both these things. Loader: I do not believe you really .have to-cut down. When it comes down to dollars and cents, - you might; /but when it comes down to par- . ticipation of the federation.-..1 think the federation should make every effort to provide- what the students want.

You should realize that GFS is for the students, and the University of Waterloo is only one of the universities involved in this. There should be more participationby us somehow. .Within just the federation offices, or by the students, but you are coming down to .money and what should be subsidized, and I .believe you would have to look at the budget and see which is the best effort in which areas. As entertainment is what counts ’ for most people, as entertainment can be for“ education values or for just plain entertainment, most people are just worried about that primarily. But like anything else I think there should be more effort made, to making the students happy than going into ideas that will bring it all together. I do not think they should be lacking. ,. Chevron: How are you judging what is the most valuable event -by’ the attendance?

In the area of speakers, there have -been eleven campus forums held-since September and nine of

_ them have been on third world issues. I feel there should be more diversity in the speakers that are brought to campus, more speakers should- b.e Canadian - we‘ should Canadianize the campus

- forums. Also, I would like to see a series of speakers on science and technology; There are a - _

.Loader: That is the problem to evaluate right now. As you take a look at what people attend there is a general thing you -can’ put on that interests people. And the only way you are going to find that out, is by the number of people that attend. I think that in the last couple of years it has been going downhill as far as entertainment. I think the university has really gone downhill. I

-think there should be more emphasis-on the fact that the student wants to be entertained. They pay $22 for things .other than education, he is paying tuition for the education. The $22 should be used to make the student happy, whatever that is. If its entertainment-concert%, pubs or speakers. If people show an interest in speakers

lot of competent speakers in the area of s@ence- then you should bring that type of thing in. and technology that could attract a large number As’smann’ I do not think that you ‘can evaluate of people and give people some idea ‘of things the event by the number of people that turn out. other than third world issues. - There are peo,ple that consistently take ad- Chevron: Baron, earlier you said you were in- vantage of &tain areas of the federation, and

.

there are people that do not take advantage of those areas ,at all. If there is only one thing they attend in the year and they get more value out of that than someone else gets out of seven events that they attend, then that one thing was more valuable to them:There are timeswhen you have to judge whether or not you are serving the student body as a whole. You should provide a variety of programs and try to provide things for

-all aspect’s’of the student body, rather than judge *by-what most of the people like. We should not judge for. the majority, but we should judge for pleasing as many of the students as-we can. “I. Telegdi: Perhaps you shoiild look UP the statement that I submitted to the chevron when I - -. first came into office. I stated that I would-like to see a complete_ federation, a federation that, is active in a number of areas. Now‘: I am sure we

,

are all aware that the cost in the entertainment : field has inflated. Take Alice Cooper, who played

. here last year for $4,000, he is now going for $50- $100,000. Obviously we cannot afford that act.

Most of the groups that are coming on campus are coming promoting themselves or are brought in by a promoter. This had been the trend all across Ontario, as a matter of fact all across Canada. Groups will not come in and be promoted by the federation. The activities of the Federation of Students could only be limited by the amount of involvement by the number of students in,the campus community. Like I have stated time and time again, if there is anything in the Federation of Students you feel we are not doing, then we invite you to come in and start. _-

- *’

Administrations and. students governments . typically have a somewhat wary relati&- , . ship. Generally, administrations are hostile to such notions as student-run buildings, and* i equal representation on university committees. What do you think is the best way of representing the student interest in these matters? * ’

Assmann: I think we are at the end of an era in student demands for representation on the

qertain areas of the university community. Since 1968, not only on this campus, but on most-. campuses across Canada, there has been an emphasis placed on gaining representation on the Senate or the Board of -Governors-or the equivalent. To a certain extent we have been ~ successful, but to a large extent this has proven

‘! a.4

. -- \ february 8, 1974 . the chevron 21 .

to be ineffective. We have’ approximately ten percent ‘representation ion those bodies at the present time. This is effective in providing input but not too effective in terms of effecting the decisions.

The struggle on this university campus culminated in the University of Waterloo act two years ago. Since-then very little has been possible on the scale of the Senate and the Board of Governors. The time has come to concentrate on. the departmental level, to work- towards building

1 course unions in different departments, and get involved in the areas where students are directly affected. The Senate and the Board of Governors are too remote from the day-to-day operation of the student. c

In their day-to-day operation, the student-does not run into any legislation that the Senate or the

Loadei; If you’ve‘got enough students standing behind you, you’ve got enough pull that they will start listening. Unfortunately, I don’t believe the

-students will stand behind the federation; and I don’t believe that we’ll get much of a turn-out for these elections. -

Board of Governors put down: Things such as tenure, firing, hiring, setting of courses, which are all done on the departmental level, that is where the student should provide an input, and that is where concentration should be for representation. This is a long process- it w.ill take many years to- gain a meaningful representation on these committees-but that is the lev$ at which we should work. We should not worry about the Senate and the Board of Governors, which to a large extent are extremely far removed from that average student. We should . concentrate. on things that directly affect us. Telegdi: I believe that an adversary approach to issues that arise between the student body and the administration of this university can only be

. detrimental to the interests of the students, and widen the gap that seems to exist between these bodies at the present time. It will be the position of the federation in the future to identify and promote all issues in such a way as to be of mutual benefit to all the students and the administration. In this way we hope to promote a more productive learning relationship which will lead to even greater successes in the next year. J

To give you some examples from the past, we went to Senate and suggested that Dr. Matthews sell his house; well he did not take this suggestion very seriously and neither did the Senate. So when I went to Senate and tried to deal with some things that were very practical issues that were very much in our reach, I was not given very much credibility b5cause I came from the Federation of Students.

But there are certain things that you can ac- complish at Senate. This year, the federation made a representation regarding the sabbatical pay to the professors at this university. The professors at theuniversity are one of the highest paid in- the country. Keeping that in mind, by increasing their sabbatical pay they would be very well in the top bracket in Canada. On this issue we made representation, and the decision to increase the sabbatical pay was deferred. It went back to committee. This issue will come up again and hopefully once more we ~ can make

.representation, and get it deferred once more.

them from really getting radical. ’ The only way possible is to take little games

wherever they’re possible, in the faculties, in the support of some faculty members, or somebody, as long as we get some things done; try every possible way that is possible, but I don’t believe, since the students don’t support the federation, that it’s going to getanything done, and it’s only

’ up to the students, when it comes to this election, to vote.

If you’ve got enough students standing behind you, you’ve got enough pull that they will start listening . Unfortunately, I don’t believe the students will stand behind the federation; and I don’t believe that we’ll get much of a turn-out for these \elections.

There has been another thing that we have ‘accomplished at Senate this year: we did get a

motion through Senate to ask that the Senate committees follow rules and procedures--at the

’ committee level._This has not been the case in the past3 hopefully this will be the case in the future. We asked for recognition at the Senate level for the Federation of Students; we did not get it. But we will be asking again in the future. Qne of the ways that we have been approaching Senate t-his year is to get the backing of all the various societies on campus, so when we go up to Senate, we know we have the support of the campus community behind us.

The more support we get from you, the more support we can brihg out to these people, and say, “Lookit, we’ve got all these people standing behind us, at least listen to us, please try to understand”-;- and this is the only way possible that we’re going to be able to get anything done.’ You can’t go up with say twenty percent of the population and say, “Well, we’ve got twenty percent of the people standing behind us, listen to us’) ‘They’re, just going to tell us to go away, they’re going to go on to their business; forget the students aga?h. ,Chevron: David, you said-that you wanted to press the students’ cause at the departmental level; I was wondering whether you’d follow a ‘proper-channels’ approach to doing this?

At the past month’s federation and society conference, we exchanged -valuable information. with the_ societies on how they might improve their representation. Since then, Environmental 1

. Studies Society has been recognized explicitly as A the spokespersons, as the sole ’ voice of the

students in that‘particular faculty. I believe that going out there to the individual faculties, getting recognition there, then going to senate, is . essential. Most of the decisions are made at the undergraduate council level, and those are the decisions that affect you most directly. Loader: I agree with Dave and Andy on the point of forgetting the Senate and the Board of

. Governors, I can’t see any possible way that they’d give up power that they have to the * students. I don’t feel they’re really interested m what the students feel, other than trying to keep

I Assmak: I -feel that that’s a level where we could initiate action-<try going through proper channels, and having once gone through the process, we’ll have to evaluate how it’s worked, perhaps think of other means of trying to get _ - representation if it does not work out the“ way we’d like to see it.

What do you think qf the other candidates ~ platforms? .”

Telegdi: I’ve got a couple of points to make,,and I’ll leave the rest to the electorate. Number one: getting back to representation, that Dave just talked about, how do we get representation at the faculty level. I’d suggest that this is an area that we can use the societies, <and have the societies help us as we help them in return. L

I’m not sure if you’re aware, but the various societies on campus have much more recognition, in their own faculties, than the Federation of Students has, in relation to the Senate and Board

of Governors. Now; this c is definitely an area wherethe societies have to be involved with us- we cannot do it alone.

I’ve just got one more point to make:. throughout the past year, when I have talked to the administration and some members of- the Ministry of Education, and some other government bodies, the point was brought up to me time and time again-are the student governments

I representative? I find this question -for the most part very

annoying, having to legitimize. our existence. So, keeping that in mind, I would like to ask you to make the effort on the 13th and the 14th next week to come out and vote. Thank you. Loader: I feel that presidential elections are a farce, as they are now, because they don’t have students behind them. The only way that any power to anything is going to be through the students. .We have to have a turn-out to get something done. No matter who you vote in, it’s a point that we need your vote, we need the statistics to work,with. And as for the platform of the other people, I don’t think I should comment on it. Assmann: I also have a brief statement, and I’ll only talk about one ’ aspect-that’s the federation/societies relationship. I feel, drawing the analogy againeetween the provincial and, federal governments, that, firstly, the provincial governments could not run the federal government w,ithout regional disparity getting even worse than it is now. Some areas. are stronger than others, and, in the case of the federation, if the societies ran the federation, then the students that would benefit most would be the .ones in the societies that are the strongest.

There are a number of people that aren’t represented adequately by societies; there are a large number that are. But in order for the federation. to be equitable to all students, it should be a separate power structure, not dependent upon the societies. I feel that interaction is important, but I don’t feel that the societies should control the -federation. Chevron: That last question read: “What did you think of the other candidate’s platforms?” The only candidate who answered that at all was David. Could we hear from you all again? Telegdi: Unlike the chevron, I give credibility’ to the intellectual process of the electorate, and let them decide, what they think of the different -peoples’ platforms. Loader: I have nothing further to add.

MIDNIGHT SHOW SATURDAY FEBRUARY 16 12:05 am re TICKETS NOW ON SALE AT THE BOX

Among the musical performances on campus which are supported by the $8,000 which is being shelled out via the Federation this year are several noon-time concerts in the Theatre of the Arts. Most of these are pretty good, and some a lot better than that. There were two last week: Steve Kusnir’s classical guitar recital on the 29th, and the University Madrigal Singers on the 30th. Both did a batch of the repertoire for their respective media.

In Kusnir’s case, pieces from the sixteenth, eighteenth, and twentieth centuries were featured, including an arrangement of the Fugue from one of the Bach unaccompanied violin sonatas. It’s not an easy piece, and while Kusnir has dexterity, he falters a bit in both rhythm and tone in such material. Others, such as the opening Pavane by Luis Milan, went better. ,We can look forward to more from this developing musician.

The Madrigal Singers are a seasoned group by this time, and their varied program featured some enlightening introductions and explanations, as well as ample program notes. Most of their material was from the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, by Italian, French, and English composers who brought the madrigal form to a level of high art, and evident affection for this music shone in their quite polished performances. Among the highlights of the recital was Monteverdi’s “Ohime”, a passionate and dramatic piece- done better than bn their ap- pearance in the “Music Four”

Musical happenings

Renaissance concert of two weeks earlier. One of the prime desiderata in this kind of music is careful attention to balance and intonation, and the group was in good form this time out. A tendency for the top soprano, Marg Elligsen, to be somewhat overshadowed was in evidence, and the attempt at a madrigal by Claude Debussy at the end was pretty much of a disaster in the intonation department; otherwise, things went well. They also put the audience through a new (because old) version of Three Blind Mice, and the crowd seemed in good voice too, even if 150 makes for a rather oversized madrigal group!

Last weekend the fifth K-W orchestra concert of the season was presented in the Humanities Theatre, this time with the University of Guelph’s choir, and guest-conducted by its. director, Nicholas Goldschmidt. The Guelphites sang in Luigi Cherubini’s Requiem Mass, a new one to most of us: It’s a strong piece, reminiscent in general character of the great Requiem of Mozart. That’s rather unfortunate, for Mozart’s is unquestionably the greater piece, and my listening tended to be marred by invidious com- parisons . People were remarking afterward that it sounded like a dandy piece to sing in, but they weren’t terribly turned on as an audience. Apart from all that, it was nice to hear Guelph’s chorus, which is a fine one in many ways. They have an extremely clean line, and a lot of well-trained voices which somebody has managed to blend skillfully so that nobody sticks out. The

results are well suited to this basically late-classical piece, but it seems doubtful that they have the tonal weight which would be required for things like Brahms, for instance. The women sounded a bit too much like boy sopranos, and their dynamics seemed rather restrained. But it’s probably the finest choir in our area, even so.

The orchestra alone also did Mozart’s overture to The Marriage of Figaro, and Haydn’s 96th Symphony. Goldschmidt has an energetic way with these

marvellous pieces, I which is mostly to the good; but perhaps the KW’s strings aren’t yet up to putting them over as one would like. The Mozart had pace, but lacked sparkle; and a sense of inner detail, and consequently of that good-humoured polish which is the hallmark of Haydn’s symphonic masterpieces, seemed lacking. (To see how these things are supposed to go, try the superb performance by George Szell and the Cleveland Or- chestra; he, as no other, shows ’ why Haydn is one of the handful of supreme composers .)

The orchestra itself appeared to be down from the peak it seems to have reached in its performance of La Boheme a month ago, or of Britten’s Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra a month before that. Perhaps the return of Raffi Armenian to the podium will rectify things.

********* Things to come: Alfred Kunz

has hopes of producing two more concerts this year. We have nearly resolved a financial problem that threated a projected Concerto program, wherein Joanne Elligsen will repeat her Beethoven 3rd Concerto, and Arthur Tau, who did such splendid work a year ago in Mozart’s 23rd Concerto, will have a go at the 21st (known to many from its background role in the movie “Elvira Madigan”). And on March 16th, the University Choir will put on Bach’s 4th Cantata, “Christ Lay in the Bonds of Death”. There’s also a St. Matthew Passion coming up, done by the K-W Symphony, Kitchener Bach Choir, etc., in Galt on March lOth, with Armenian conducting. That should be a winner.

I. - story?- This first novel by Patricia Joudry,

Canada’s Woman of the Year-1956, is a love story. I

It is a novel which probes man’s fun- damental conflict: the need to affirm the self and at the same .time unite with others

1 as if to test the reality. It is the story of’ a man’s search for identity then and it deals with the events,, the people and the circumstances which lead ,him in his search, inspiring, prodding, threatening, even endangering his life that he may live to be

, himself. \ The book is reverse stream-of-

consciousness. That is, the man lets his mind go where it will and then attempts to articulate it all using memories as touchstones.

?‘he book is not so much about what a man can be but what a man is.

The last paragraph may read as being too sententious:

-

She writes: “The ‘motive tind theme of my life, as of my present novel and all my works, present and future is Wholeness . . .Unclusiveness . ..and this has evolv’ed\from my researches into the cause and purposes of our existence.‘-’

In-a gabled house by the sea, on the ‘Pacific’ coast of Canada, two young people discover each other. The search for a synthesis between selfhood and unity with others is as old as man’s existence. Joudry has captured the dilemma of the human heart, and unveiled the spiritual forces that,guide its joys and agoniq, in lyrical and haunting prose saturated with the feel of sea and sand. It is a good first novel, a rare commodity in these days of Can. Litter. It bursts with life and intense beauty, and will have special meaning for most readers whose’ awareness has expanded beyond the everyday.

The book jacket promises us this much. The book delivers much more.

It is a difficult book to write about without sounding like a reviewer for

,Jonathan Livingstone’ Seagull or something by Merle Shain. But it is good, in the same tradition perfected by Margaret Laurence. b -

Joudry has just spent I6 years in England and much time in New York writing The Aldrich Family ‘and plays which have gone from Broadway to France, Holland- and Germany in tran- slation. / .

em ’ Andy - + Withdraw!

. For the past week rumors have reached

me about one of the presidential candidates campaigning *before nominations were closed and campaigning officially opened. The candidate was Andy’ Telegdi - current fed president.

This campaigning took the form of meetings with various student groups, ie. village reps, and church colleges.

Don Christie, a proctor from St Paul’s said that although Andy’s comments were vague there was definitely talk about what the federation could do in the future. There was mention ,of a subsidy to the amount of one dollar .per student in the church colleges.

1 We all know .enough about ,politics to realize that .these types of little ‘talks’ even where no promises are made influence voting decisions especially when the ‘talker’ seems to be in some position of

. influence. This is illegal campaigning. Andrew, unless you can prove to me

and other students that this did not occur, then I can see no reason why you should not be disbarred from the election.

the highs and lows that-1 and I think many of us went through. And I, like many of the people in the Gardens that night, was not able to accept the music as music alone.

Yes Robbie, Bob Dylan was speaking for a full two and a half hours. And though I was listening, I guess I just didn’t want to hear what he was saying. As Dylan reminded us in the last song of the night, “And time will tell, who has fell, and who’s been left behind, when you go your way and I go mine”. -

tempted to present Dylan as a fading pop ’ star making a last ditch (and probably ~

doomed) effort to “stay at the top’?. In spite of your impression of my article, I * ’ . j More did not believe this. For me, Bob Dylan I had created some wonderful music in the last twelve years, but I was not at the concert to hear “his past hits”. I was not going to see “Bob Dylan’s comeback”.

However, by the end of the concert, I felt that this was what Dylan was doing. He had not taken his own advise and had spent most of his two hours. on stage “looking back”. Sure he had changed the beat on some -songs, dropped~ lyrics here and there and even rearranged some melodies. But Robbie, I was disappointed that Dylan had the courage to introduce only three or four-new songs. Songs that, with only one exception, were, at least on first impression, exceedingly plain. \ You say that “Bob Dylan is simply Bob

promisest A year ago Andrew Telegdi made some

promises. How many did he keep? He said the “New Federation wilI lower

the prices on concerts to $1.50.” How many $1.50 concerts did you see?

He promised a “continuous flow of entertainment”. Why are the first concerts this term in the two weeks of the election campaign?

He promised to “deal with issues which are more directly related to the campus community” and named parking and towing policy and vending machines as two issues he would deal with. Had your

He also claimed “I used to be proud of our Campus Centre and I intend .-to be proud again .” Did he succeed?

Telegdi made a lot of promises last year and he is making psomises this year. Wrll he succeed any more next year than he did last year?

immoral _ Before another issue is allowed to

circulate among the students, I feel compelled to voice my protest(s) against the chevron. Coming from another university, whose ’ newspaper I was slightly disappointed in, I looked forward to seeing what U of W had to offer. In the past five months, things have gone from bad to worse. I resent the fact that a portion of my hard-earned tuition, fees goes toward the fiublication of such ‘a journal. _ . .

Last year, the paper I had to put up with was, at worst, dull and unimaginative; the chevron is, at best, offensive, and boring in its attempts to sensationalize.

I haven’t yet made it through one of the- innumerable articles or reprints on every “ism” in exlstence~ And the illustrations, especially the disgusting example on page three of the January 25 issue, are in the \ poorest of taste.

I know that you counter any criticism with-the cry, “ Come andwork for us if you want to see us improve”, but I am sure that ahything I could produce would never be radical enough or shocking enough to even be considered for publication. After all, I am’ not a political left-winger, I have never used drugs, I don’t know anything about lesbianism, abortion, sex operations, or the historical oppression of women; I would never qualify as a chevron writer.

.

Of course, I realize, that a school newspaper can only mirror the interests of ‘the students. It is disgraceful that U of W students allow this kind of representation. Sadly ,-the only conclusion one can draw is that it is an accurate representation. It might interest the editorial’ staff of the chevron to know that there are students on this campus who have morals and, yes, Christian standards for their lives, and who are not satisfied with the type of journalism appearing in this paper.

You’ve had your chance, chevron. And you’ve lost it, as far as I’m concerned. From now on, I will read posters and bulletin boards to find out what is going on, and save myself the effort of ever again plowing through your pages.

All politicians make mistakes -it is one of the disadvantages of being born a human being.

An incompetent politician makes an unusual number of-mistakes-so many that his blunders outweigh his successes.

A danger& politician is Qne who will not admit his histakes, and makes-them over and over again.

Andrew , Telegdi will no’t admit his mistakes, and &his is disconcerting. ’

A close reading of the public intervie with this year’s, three federation

are the serious objections raised to the 1 week-long event by groups and individuals on campus, on the grounds that the closure of the campus centre necessitated by the federation’s am- bitious plan represented a significant encroachment on the rights of those who were not interested in Octoberfest, and for whom the campus centre had always been ,’ in more than one sense, a f&e building.

Some critics pointed out that it would have been possible- and financially safer-to have run the e’vent on a much

presidential candidates will not reveal a

one word on Telegdi’s ‘part to indicate that anything will be different if he is re- elected; there is no’ acknowledgement

* that any of the controversial issues which have blemished the federation’s public, ‘complexion during the past year was wrongly handled, nor that any of the criticisms levelled at the president were justified in any degree.

There is a word for the attitude im-0 plied in this kind of behaviour- the-word is arrogance. It is arrogant of Telegdi’ to assume that he can ignore the very real questions raised in many of the-policy decisions taken during his term of office, without having to face the electoral consequences. km”

Yet this seems to be the assumption under which he is operating. Take, for instance, an issue which in many ways epitomizes the approach of the Telegdi- regime- Octoberfest. In a campaign sheet issued by Telegdi to off-term co-op students, the Octqberfest extravaganza iS alluded to in appropriately glowing tones as “the biggest * entertainment

. event of the year”, and so it was. What the hand-out fails to mention

smaller scale. After the fact, and when the losses had been tallied, even Board of Entertainment chairman Art Ram acknowledged that the scheme had been a mite too grandiose.

Equally important questions have been raised in regard to the cavalier attitude on, the part of Telegdi and his lieutenants towards points of procedure, ‘when pushing Octoberfest first through- the Campus Centre Board-by stacking a meeting; and then through students’ council’- without the necessary reallocation of budget.

Yet Telegdi does not speak to these points, does nothing even to indicate that he has considered them. Instead, he will tell us that Octoberfest brought out

-a lot of students, and that it was “the - biggest entertainment event of the year’ ’ . This is arrogance. ’

SThe mail:out sheet also discusses other accomplishments of the Telegdi government over the past year. Among other feats, Telegdi claims credit for helping to provide the ‘proper- management’ which past federations were unable to muster, and which has brought about the likelihood of being

ab!e to realize the goal of a permanent pub in the campus-c$ntre. “Right now”, he says, “we are -involved in painstaking political talks with U of W administration and the LCBO.”

This is, to say the least, something of a, misrepresentation. Though our chances for a *permanent pub have certainly increased this year, this change is principally due to new licensing--laws, rather than ‘proper management’. With Telegdi or no, the pub will go through.

These -are -_ only examples, and by themselves they hardly constitute a compelling indictment of Telegdi- it is impdssible to convey the total reality ofti a complex issue in the few words allowed a candidate OK a campaigo hand-out.

What is bothersome, however, is the absence of even a phrase to the effect that, yes, this year’s federation has- tiade mistakes-and, assuredly, it has- and- ‘that next year’s will profit from these errors. It is this apparently complete self-satisfaction that has marked the Telegdi regime from the beginning; an inability to deal with criticism and use it constructively.

Andrew_Telegdi is arrogant, and it is arrogance which makes a dati’gerous w politician.

i ***** There are two other candidates: ‘Baron

Loader and David Assmann. ~ While more than a nuisance, candidate,

Loader does not appear t? bring much more than an admittedly refreshing cynicism as qualification for the office of president; t‘his is not enough.

-Loader has no student pplitical experience, lacks an understanding of the . mechanisms by which the university operates- in detail,at least-and is not well-versed in the structural niceties of the federation. With these shortcomings, he does not seem ready to take charge of the reasbnably complex org&ism that the Federation of Students has come to . - be.

More credible is David Assmann. Without being forceful or overbearing, Assmann has a reputation for getting

- the job done. His experience in students’ -council and other campus bodies; his

sound chairmanship of the Board of Communications this year; and his key role in building Radio Waterloo over the past several years all bespeak a competent and efficient leader.

His proven interest in both entertainment and educational areas shqld lead to a balanced federation, as-- should his ernphasis on - variety and innovation in all areas. It is sl’gnificant that the thrust of his campaign has so far been towards confact with individual students, rather than organisations; this

I reflects ’ the concern reflected in his platform for the everyday life of the I everyday student.

These factors, combined *with his obvious energy, argue strongly for the choice of David Assmann for the federation presidency. With the support of a committed and active council, Assmann -could help bring about the kind of useful, responsible, and, yes, responsive -federation this university needs -Go badly.

For nearly twelve months now, Andrew Telegdi has been trying to make himself important. When’ he emerged from a, murky past to contest last year’s presidential election, Telegdi was fairly dripping with obscurity. Nonetheless, an energetic and expensive campaign-financed by a $500 personal bank loan-rocketed the aspiring decision-maker into office on a platform buoyed .by promises unlikely enoughlo capture some fifteen percent of the popular imagination. This victory gave Telegdi the_power and exposure he has always wanted-as the-head of a vast corporation with an annual budget of more than a quarter of a million dollars he was in a position to make the choices that really counted; the highest-ranking diplomat and plenipotentiary of an influential student organization he was able t? meet the people who mattered and kiss-ass to still more powerful regimes than his own. It must have been a heady feeling. Andy-had never been a president before, and he was out to make the most of it, even when his immediate move-for a fifty-dollar pay rais<fell through. Natcjrally, there were problems. Determined to be moreth\an a nine-day wonder, the novice politician knew that only a sustained effort would keep him ih the public eye. Ac- cordingly, he kept himself busy as a bird, answering phones, attending dreary conferences, sometimes even meeting with the president of the university himself, and partaking in ‘painstaking negotiation’. His childhood passion for long meetings received its fullest expression during these _ golden months, as one campus body after another was treated to rhapsodic hours of crisp- Telegdian oratory. Pounding away at one issue after another, the-determined chief executive appeared at tim$s to be- making little headway in furthering h,$ bold schemes, but moments of frustration were more than compensated for by such victories as the successful bamboozling of the Campus Centre Board, and by the little warm sticky feelings he got when a waitress called him ‘sir’...(Editor goes to bathroom)...nelping out on the chevron this week were: eric robinson, mihail murgosi, liskris, kwas and fuzz, bob hillier, terry olaskey, bob sisler, paul sharp&, john macdonald, phil tatham, grahameaitken, reid glenn, paul mamelka, john morris, Susan johnson, nick savage, joe Sheridan, alan klarreich, rica wedding, g. menzies, donna miller, dave college,,randy hannigan, dharlotte buchan, baron loader, andrew telegdi and david,assman, Chris bechtel, dri, tom marzotto, Stacy- Spiegel, me\ rotman, john broeze, linda lounsbe,rry, jan narveson, gabriel dumont and associates, ann margret, perry coma, doris Wilson, clare mcculloch, michael gordon, jane harding, john buckberrough, ivan zendel, michael zimmer-man, roger .horst and dj griffiths.
