Groups submit briefs for chckes in act
The following groups submit- ted briefs to the university act committee suggesting changes:
Chairmen of the arts depart- ments, church colleges, Ontario college of optometrists, federa- tion of students, graduate student union executive, and chairmen of the math departments.
* * *
The chairmen of the arts de- partments stated’they believe that academic procedures and the ex- ecutive role of the president must be explicitly recognized in order to assure continuity of interpreta- tion.
The changes they have request- ed are:
l Added to the objects of the university, “in conformity with academic custom and tradition. ”
l In the section dealing with power of the council chairman to alter curricula, add “consis- tent with academic procedures. ”
l Also in the section dealing with the power of the council to remove the president and other officials of the university, add “with due regard for academic safeguards. ”
l Reference to the faculty asso- ciation be changed to the uni- versity’s association ’ of faculty ; reference to the federation of students be changed to the uni- versity’s association of students and the alumni association be changed to the university’s association of alumni. In all cases, the associations are those recog- nized by the council and its ad- ministrative officers.
l Faculty constituency mem- bership on the council be increa- sed from seven to ten; two mem- bers elected from the univer- sity’s association of faculty in- stead of five.
l Council membership from the registered students be elect- ed by the student body (deleting “appointed” changing federation members to registered students)
l Alumni reps to be elected by the university’s association of alumni (deleting “appointed”).
0 Deletion of portion giving the council the authority to del-
egate to the president, other officer, faculty, staff or student member of the university, power and authority to act for and on behalf of the council in any matter.
Addition of two paragraphs: “There shall be a president of the university who shall be chos- en by the council in such man- ner as shall be determined by the council.
“The president shall be the chief executive officer of the university, and all officers there- of, except for the chancellor, shall perform their duties under his direction and control, according to the terms of regulations pro- mulgated under subsection 19 (a) above.
* * * The church colleges requested
the following amendments : l Recognition of the church
colleges be added to the opening clause.
l The amendment of the in- troductory paragraph relating to the powers of the council, by adding a clause saving the rights of the colleges. ~
* * * The Ontario college of optom-
etrists has requested a representa- tive of the college on the council.
* * * The federation of students re-
quested that the body be cut proportionally in half and that the council be empowered to select whatever person it deems suit- able for the position of chairman, instead of the drafts’s require- ment that the chairman be from the community-at-large.
* * * The graduate student union
requested written into the act a method for democratic grad- uate representation.
* * * The chairmen of the math de-
partments felt that the act re- quired further study, and asked for further consideration at in- dividual faculty levels, an in- crease in faculty representation, and the deletion of the word “appointed” in reference to the manner of selecting representa- tives of the faculty association and the federation.

St. Mmicak story forces coverug by kal me&u The abrupt dismissal of staff
at St. Monica’s home for unwed mothers is not a dead issue yet, though the executive members of the board would like to think so.
The Chevron’s story on the firings managed to break the local media’s conspiracy of silence and opened a forum for dismissed director Barb Evans and her staff.
Some members of the execu- tive charged the Chevron with printing untruths and innuendos on a CHYM radio news bulletin, and claimed that matter was strictly an intern@ problem.
CKKW radio, however, follow- ed this up with an interview with Evans on thursday morning, during which she confirmed everything printed in the Chevron story.
The Record finally printed a short story on friday announcing a meeting called by bishop Ang- lican George N. Luxton, to in- vestigate the cause of the dis- missals.
Their story Saturday stated that Luxton ratified the decision of the board, despite the fact that Luxton- clearly stated the meeting had no official status and hence had no authority to take any action on the issue.
Bishop Luxton did however apologize to Evans for the man- ner in which the executive treat- ed her.
During the course of the meet- ing board members were told that the dismissals were the re- sult of a conflict of policy be- tween tie executive and Evans.
Many board members who are unhappy with the present executive believe the issue is not yet concluded.
Rev. B. L. Oaten, an United Church representative intends to raise the issue at the United Church presbytery meeting this afternoon.
Although he had intended to resign he has now decided to stay on with a view to getting the board structure thoroughly reorganized and to reducing the power of the executive.
Dr. Helen Reesor also says, “this is not the end yet”. She has resigned as the medical academy representative to the board because she does not feel she can work with the present executive.

Strike puce Slows at SW BURNABY (CUP)-The move-

Several students volunteered to represent the society at the undergraduate affairs committee and the teachers affairs com- mittee.
The police said that only the administration could complain that a building was occupied.
In addition, a program commit- tee was set up to look after such matters as posting signs, invit- ing speakers, and arranging for pub nights.

K-W freeschooi opens us system cflternativ~
A group of parents disenchant- ed with the public school system in the K-W area, recently open- ed up a freeschool in Waterloo for children between the ages of six and 11.
Although not church-affiliated, the school operates out of the Unitarian fellowship house on the corner of Allen and Moore streets.
The idea for a freeschool was originated by the education action group who some months ago stirred up support to fight “religion in the schools week.”
Most of these people feel that the public school system strifles intellectual and creative ability, so they decided to provide an alternative.
According to principal Sandra Sachs, a graduate student in philosophy at Uniwat, “child- ren can’t be creative in a class of forty or fifty controlled by one teacher”.
The objective of the school will be to create a stimulating in- tellectual environment where children can interact as human beings.
All the qualifications necessary for registration as a private school such as fire and health hazards have been checked out, and two permanent teachers have been hired.
The work of the teachers will be supplemented by resource people, especially in the sciences, mathematics and languages.
Emphasis will be on the de- velopment of language and num- ber skills and hopefully the work-fun distinction will be done away with.
The two teachers hired are Anne La Roque and Kim Rich- ards. La Roque is bilingual with a degree in sociology from the London School of Economics, and Richards is a University‘of British Columbia graduate.

IV0 IuwW order for @eople’ OTTAWA (CUP)-It takes
more than a complaint to bring police onto the campus at Carle- ton University. It takes the say- so of administration president Davidson Dunton.
A group of 15 students tried and failed to bring the forces of law and order to their support friday when they confronted Dunton in his office to demand he repudiate the working paper of the committee of presidents of universities of Ontario, and guarantee non-interference in
any political activity on campus which did not involve -personal physical injury or significant property damage. In the midst of a heated de- bate with Dunton, one of the students telephoned the Ottawa police to demand they arrest “a man who is occupying the president’s desk against the wish- es of the people,” according to the desk sergeant on duty.
later modified his claim to say “He would try not to call the police” until the university’s ac- ademic senate had given the Go- ahead.
The students attacked Dunton as the “chief bureaucrat in an oppressive capatalist university” and demand that he not inter- fere with students who “quit just talking about it, and try to do

The Queen’s University Golden Gaels visited Seagram stadium on Saturday afternoon and found most gracious hosts in the Water- loo football warriors. Any team that gives its guests a 28-O victory and hands them the ball 7 times on interceptions, once on a fumble and once on downs must be classed as gracious hosts.
Queen ‘s scored their first touchdown on the first sequence

Their second touchdown was set up by two runs by Keith Ea- man-who had a spectacular day running from scrimmage and on punt returns-and a pass to end Rick Vanbuskirk. The 34- yard touchdown pass was to Don McIntyre. McNeil1 was fortunate to get the ball away as George Nogradi \ just missed throwing McNeil1 for a substantial loss. Cozac’s convert made the score 14 - 0.
The rest of the points in the first half were set up by two in- terceptions by Mike Lambros. The warrior defense held Queen’s

The passing statistics in the first half reflect the play quite well. Waterloo completed 3 of their 15 passes and had three interceptions. Queen’s completed 10 of their 11 pass attempts.
The second half began as though things would be different. The defense forced Queen’s to punt the first two times they had the ball.
The offense made four first downs on their first two attempts and started a concerted drive the third time. Dave Groves threw to the right to Wayne Fox. Fox trotted for a 33-yard gain to the Queen’s 47-yard line. Two more passes to Fox moved the ball to the 27.
The drive ended on unfortunate circumstances on the next play. Center George Saunders w&s in- jured and the exchange between his replacement and the quarter- back was fumbled because they were not accustomed to one another’s style.
Pass interceptions ended the rest of the warrior drives in the second half.
In the second half the defense held Queen’s to two field goals by Doug Cozac, both set up by interceptions. Fine blitzes by Ryan Tripp and Stu Koch and an improved pass rush, especially by Nogradi and Dean Anderson,

got to the Queen’s quarterbacks and ruined their passing game in the second half.
The offense also improved in the second half gaining a quite respectable 170 yards. Don Manahan had a fine day at end catching 6 passes for 68 yards. Fox caught 3 passes for 53 yards and Rick Wiedenhoeft added 2 more for 25 yards.
The running offense is having some trouble now that every team in the league is keying their defense on Gord McLellan. Mike Cheevers added some good inside running, however .
The most distressing thing about the game this week was the atmosphere hanging around the warrior bench, as was evi- denced by the ball players hanging their heads when they got behind.
As soon as Queen’s scored their first touchdown the team seemed to give up. Anyone who saw the warriors physically man- handle the University of Toronto Blues last week wonders how the team could die after just one Queen’s touchdown. The warr- iors should remember how they came from behind in Toronto. to score two consecutive touch- downs and move into an 11 point lead.
The warriors have the talent, they proved that in Toronto. If they can begin to believe that fact and develop a more positive attitude about their ability as a team and their ability to come back in a ball game-some vic- tories may be imminent.
Until they develop some faith in their own capabilities the warriors will only provide the viewers video replays of satur- day’s game with Queen’s.

tuesday 7october 1969 (10.21) 317 * 1 (
by John Holt
The folio wing article, written by Toronto Globe & Mail reporter Loren Lind points out that many parents today insist their children attend schools where short hair, sex segregation and strict discipline-all characteristics of authoritarian class societies-are still the order of the day.
She finds the innovations and experiments in schools praised by psychol- ogists, sociologists and educational theorists like John Ho/t are too modern for security-conscious parents who are frightened by what they don’t try to understand.
This article points out the absurdity of the caution and narrow-minded- ness which motiiates many parents to accept extravagant expense in order to ensure the straidht jacketing of their children’s minds. .
P ARENTS SEEKING MORE dis- cipline and less innovation for their children are pounding on the doors of Ontario’s private
schools like never before, a survey of the leading established schools has shown.
Private educators say the liberalizing of Ontario’s public school system-pro- moted by the Hall-Dennis Report on Ed- ucation-is putting many parents off. They want something tried and proved, even if it costs them $2,900 a year per child.
“The public schools are experimenting. theyie searching, and people are always frightened by that, ” said Dr. John Bell, a retired headmaster of Oakville‘s Appleby College who is now secretary of the Gov- erning Bodies Association of Independ- en t Schools.
“‘People are a little more interested in the traditional programs we offer. ”
See editorial/page 1 1
Dr. Bell said the 18 schools in his asso- ciation has a “generally higher number of applicants, despite fee increases of
$100 to $300 a pupil in the past two years. Headmasters and principals at seven
private schools in different parts of Ontar- io confirmed the trend.
AS they see it, worried parents are com- ing to appreciate short haircuts, sexual segregation, homework, graded learning and academic discipline for their chil- dren. They aren’t convinced the open classroom and the ungraded curriculum will work. The increase of drugs and stu- dent revolt scares them.
“I think there are a lot of parents who are upset with the experimenting that’s going on, ” said E.V.B. Pilgrim, head- master of Canada’s largest boarding school for boys. “They’re bringing their children to us. ”
His 456~student Ridley College at St. Catharines raised its fee $100 this year, charging upper-class-men $2,950, but this did nothing to turn off new applicants. “We’ve always been a full school,” he said, “but this year we’ve had an unbel- ievable number of applicants. ”
One was a 16-year-old boy in Grade 10
who had been taking French and math- ematics in Grade 9 and history in Grade 11 in his public school. His parents took him to Ridley, complaining that advance- ment by subject threw him into classes; out of his age group.
“The kid didn’t really know’ where he was at, and he didn’t know where he was going to end up. ’ ’
Mr. Pilgrim said his school tries to re- tain the good of the old” in both academics and appearances. **We have no long hair, no sideburns, our boys have to wear ties and jackets throughout the day.” He con- sidered this a drawing card for many par- ents.
High moral standards were important to a Toronto mother who started sending her 13-year old daughter to the all-girl Branksome Hall this month.
“It backs up the parents better than the public school does,” she said. ‘Here at Branksome, they try to instill virtue, and virtue is not a dirty word that anyone is afraid to use in the independent schools. I*
Patrick Johnson, headmaster of Upper Canada which has an enrolment of 840 attributes th,e flood of applications this year partly to a more affluent population and partly to a more sympathetic atti- tude.
His school had to reject more than 300 applicants this year, even though it in- creased the rates for boarding students from $2,500 to $2,800.
To avoid the stigma of being a domain of the rich, Upper Canada gives assist- ance to 80 boys each year, but it still has to pay competitive rates for teachers.
None of the 23 private boys’ and girls’ schools in the province receives aid from the Government.
Angus Scott, headmaster of Trinity College School at P&t Hope, admitted. that private schools sometimes get child- ren of diehard parents who won’t accept positive changes in the public system.
“They just don’t feel their boys are being educated the way they want them to be. Maybe the parents need educating as well as the boys. SI
His school has to turn away more ap- picants than ever before, even though it increased attendance from 280 to 330 during the past two years.
St. Andrew’s School in Aurora, whose en- rolment figure had been set at 300, took 317 this year and still turned away a rec- ord number.
St. Andrew’s rates are now $3,000 for the top grades, $200 above last year.
“A lot of the parents are unhappy about provincial schools for two reasons,” said Headmaster J. R. Coulter. “They feel there’s not enough demanded of their youngsters and they’re not getting enough information about how they’re doing in school. ”
Appleby, with an enrolment of 250, in- creased its rates $300-to $2,700 for sen- ior boarders-but also received more ap- plications than before.
Havergal College, a Toronto girls’ school enrolled just over 600, and turned back as many as it took in, said Catherine Steel, the principal.
Pickering, College at Newmarket, a small school with 150 boys, received 100 new applicants this year but could admit only 70. It also had to raise its fees by $100 this year to meet increased teachers’ sal- aries and food costs.

I3 EHIND MUCH OF WHAT we do in school lie some ideas, that could be ex- pressed roughly as follows:
0 Of the vast body of human know-
ledge, there are certain bits and pieces that can be called essential, that everyone should know;
l it is the duty of schools, therefqr-e, to get as
educated, qualified to live intelligently in today’s world arid be a useful member of society, depends on the amount of this essential knowledge that he carries about with him;
that Latin was essential would make as strong a case for it now; and the French might better have been Spanish, or better yet, Russian. Today the schools are busy teaching Russian; but perhaps they should be teaching Chinese, or Hindi, or who- knows-what? Besides physics, I studied chemistry, then perhaps the most popular of all science courses; but I would probably have done better to study biology, or ecology, if such a course had been offered (it wasn’t).
We always find out, too late, that we don’t have the experts we need, that in the past we studied the wrong things; but this is bound to remain so. Since we can’t know what knowledge will be most needed in the future, it is senseless to try to teach it’in ad- vance. Instead, we should try to turn out people who love learning so much and learn so well that they will be able to learn whatever needs to be learned.
think it is our duty and our right to tell children what they must learn. We cannot know at any monent, what particular bit of know/edge or un- derstanding a child needs most, will most streng- then and best fit his model of reality. Only he can
do this. He may not do it very well, but he can do it a hundred times better than we can. The most we
can do is try to help, by letting him know roughly what is available and where he can look for it. Choosing what he wants to learn and what he does not is something he must do for himselfi
l the extent to-which a person can be conddered much of this essential knowledge as possible into the minds of children. Thus we find ourselves try- ing to poke certain facts, recipes, and ideas down the gullets of every child in school, whether the morsel interests him or not, even if it frightens him or sickens him, and even if there are other things that he is much more interested in learning.
These ideas are absurd and harmful nonsense. We will not begin to have true education or real learning in our schools until we sweep this non- sense out of the way. Schools shouid be a p/ace where children learn what they most want to know; instead of what we think they ought to know.
The child who wants to know something remem- bers it and uses it once he has it; the child who learns something to please or appease someone else forgets it when the need for pleasing or the danger of not appeasing is past. This is why children quickly forget all but a small part of what they learn
in school. It is of no use or interest to them; they do not want, or expect, or even intend to remember it. The only difference between bad and good stu- dents in this respect is that the bad students for- get right away while the good students are careful to wait until after the exam. If for no other reason we could well afford to throw out most of what we teach in school because the children throw out al- most all of it anyway.
“curriculum ” is absurd The notion of a curriculum, an essential body of
knowledge, would be absurd even if children re- membered everything we “taught” them. We don’t and can’t agree on what knowledge is essential. The man who has trained himself in some special field of knowledge or competence thinks, naturally, that his specialty should be in the curriculum.-
The classical scholars want Greek and Latin taught; the historians shout for more history; the mathematicians urge more math and the scientists more science; the modern language experts want all children taught French, or Spanish, or Russian; and so on. Everyone wants to get his specialty into the act, knowing that as the demand for his special knowledge rises, so will the price that he can charge for it. Who wins this struggle and who loses de- pends not on the real needs of children or even of society, but on who is most skillful in public rela- tions, who has the best educational lobbyists, who
. best can capitalize on events that have nothing to’ do with education, like the appearance of Sputnik in the night skies.
The idea of the curriculum would not be valid even if we could agree what ought to be in it. For know- ledge itself changes. Much of what a child learns in school will be found, or thought, before many years, to be untrue. I studied physics at school from a fairly up-to-date text that proclaimed that the fun- damental law of physics was the law of conserva- tion of matter-matter is not created, or destroyed. I had to scratch that out before I left school.
In economics at college I was taught many things that were not true of our economy then, and many more that are not true now.
Not for many years after I left college did I learn that the Greeks, far from being a detached and ju- dicious people surrounded by chaste white tem- ples, were hottempered, noisy, quarrelsome, and liked to cover their temples with gold leaf and bright paint; or that most of the citizens of Imperial Rome, far from living in houses in which the rooms sur- rounded an atrium, or central court, lived in multi- story tenements, one of which was perhaps the lar- gest building in the ancient world. The child who really remembered everything he heard in school would live his life believing many things that were not so.
Moreover, we cannot possibly judge what know- ledge will be most needed forty, or twenty, or even ten years from now. At school, I studied Latin and French. Few of the teachers who claimed then
How can we say, in any case, that one piece of knowledge is more important than another, or in- deed, what we really say, that some knowledge is essential and the rest, as far as school is concerned, worthless?
A child who wants to learn something that the school can’t and doesn’t want to teach him will be told not to waste his time. But how can we say that what he wants to know is less important than what we want him to know? We must ask how much of the sum of human knowledge anyone can know at the end of his schooling. Perhaps a millionth.
Are we th*en ‘to believe that one of these million- ths is so much more important than another? Or that our social and national problems will be solved if we can just figure out a way to turn children out of schools knowing two millionths of the total, in- stead of one?
Our problems don’t arise from the fact that we lack experts enough to tell us what needs to be done, but out of the fact that we do not and will not do what we know needs to be donenow.
Learning is not everything, and certainly one piece of learning is as good as another. One of my brightest and boldest fifth graders was deeply in- terested in snakes. He knew more about snakes than anyone I’ve ever known. The school did not offer herpetology; snakes were not in the curric- ulum; but as far as I was concerned. any time he spent learning about snakes was better spent than in ways I could think of to spend it; not least of all because, in the process of learning about snakes, he learned a great deal more about many other things than I was ever able to “teach” those unfortunates in my class who were not interested in anything
at all. ln another fifth-grade class, studying Remans in
B t-i tai n, ! saw a boy trying to read a science book behind the cover of his desk. He was spotted, and made to put the book away,’ and listen to the teacher; with a heavy sigh he did so. What was gained- here? S-he traded a chance for an
hour% fea/ learning about science for, at best, an hour#s tempofafy learning about history-much more probably no learning at a/l, just an hour’s worth of daydreaming and resentful thoughts about school. To learn is to seek meaning
lt is not subject matter that makes some learn- ing more valuable than others, but the spirit in which the work is done. If a child is doing the kind. of learning that most children do in school, when they learn at all-swallowing words, to spit back at the teacher on demand-he is wasting his time, or rather, we are wasting it for him. This learning will not be permanent, or relevant, or useful. But a child who is learning naturally, following his curios- ity where it leads him, adding to his mental model of reality whatever he needs and can find a place for, and rejecting without fear or guilt what he does not need, is growing -in knowledge, in the love of learning, and in the ability to learn.
He is on his way to becoming the kind of per- son we need in our society, and that our “best” schools gnd colleges are not turning out, the kind of person who, in Whitney Griswold’s words, seeks and finds meaning, truth, and enjoyment in everything he does. All his life he will go on learn- ing. Every experience will make his mental model of reality more complete and true to life, and thus make him more able to deal realistically, imagin- atively, and constructively with whatever new ex- perience life throws his way.
We cannot have real learning in school if we
There is one more reasdn and the ‘most im- portant one, why we must reject the idea of school and classroom as places where, most of the time, children are doing what some adult‘ tells them to do. Painless coercion is an illusion
The reason is that there is no way to coerce chil- dren without making them afraid, or more afraid. We must not try to fool ourselves into thinking that this is not so.
The would-be progressives, who until recently had great influence over most American public school education, did not recognize this-and still do not. They thought, or at least talked and wrote as if they thought, that there were good ways and bad ways to coerce children (the bad ones mean, harsh, cruel, the good ones gentle persuasive, subt- le, kindly), and that if they avoided the bad and stuck to the good they would do no harm. This was one of their greatest mistakes, and the main reason why the revolution they hoped to accomplish never took hold.
The idea of painless, non-threatening coercion is an illusion. Fear is the inseparable companion of coercion, and its enescapable consequence. If you think it your duty to make children do what you want whether they will or not, then if folows in-
exorably that you must make them afraid of what will happen to them if they don’t do what you want.
You can do this in the old-fashioned way, openly and avowedly, with the threat of harsh words, in- fringement of liberty, or physical punishment.
Or you can do it in the modern way, subtly, smoothly, quietly, by withholding the acceptance and approval which you and others have trained the children to depend on; or by making them feel that some retribution awaits them in the future, too vague to imagine but too implacable to escape.
You can, as many skilled teachers do, learn to tap with a word, a gesture, a look, even a smi-le, the great reservoir of fear, shame, and guilt that to- day’s children carry around inside them.
Or you can simply let your own’fears, about what will happen to you if the children don’t do what you want, reach out and infect them. Thus the children will feel more and more that life is full of dan- gers from which only the goodwill of adults like you can protect them, and that this goodwill is perishable and must be earned anew each day.
The alternative -I can see no other-is to have schools and classrooms in which each child in his own way can satisfy his curiosity, develop his abil- ities and talents, pursue his interests, and from the adults and older children around him get a glimpse of the great variety and iichness of life.
In short, the school should be a great smorgas- bord of intellectual, artistic, creative, and athletic activities, from which each child could take what- ever he wanted, and as much as he wanted, or as little.
When Anna was in the sixth grade, the year after she was in my class, I mentioned this idea to her.
After describing very sketchily how such a school might be run, and what the children might do, I said, “Tell me, what do you think of it? Do you think it would work? Do you think the kids would learn anything?” She said with utmost conviction, “Oh
yes, it would be wonderful!” She was silent for a minute or two, perhaps re-
membering her own generally unhappy schooling. Then she said thoughtfully, “You know, kids really like to learn; we just don’t like being pushed around.”
No, they don’t; and we should be grateful for that. So (et’s stop pushing them around, and give them a chance. John Holt is an American public school teacher whose two books How Children Learn and How Children Fail have earned him an international reputation as one of the finest of today’s educational critics and theorists.

Now that the sex lectures are over and we all feel confident of our prowess, perhaps it’s time to take in a little culture just to round out our personality.
Actually the time is ripe for a little cultural immersion as we’ve got the Toronto symphony orchestra on campus October 18, the national players performance of The lady’s not for burning October 17 and film critic Stan- ley Kaufman october 15.
But don’t despair jocks, there’s light entertainment in the offing too in the form of Gordon Lightfoot who visits the jock building friday and sat- urday night. Show starts at 8:30pm.
The movie situation in the K-W cinemas has deteriorated somewhat this week, as the film festival at the Waterloo ends tomorrow.
LYRIC (124 King street, Kitchener, 742-0911) Last summer, despite the name and advertising has nothing to do with the Annette-Frankie Avalon type beach epic. It is the frighteningly realistic story of four teenagers and the summer they spend together.
The wild bunch (starts friday) is a super violent horse opera that could be subtitled the dirty dozen goes west. It took several months to get by the Ontario censors, who were unappreciative of the ebullient sadism which Robert Ryan, William Holden, Ernest Borgnine and company in- dulge in.
Butch Cassidy and Sundance kid will be shown at a special midnight performance sunday (or monday morning). This is the Paul Newman western comedy which hasn’t yet been released in Toronto.
FOX (161 King east, Kitchener, 745-7091) Ring of bright water and Hot rod action closes tonight. The latter is a racing melodrama and the former stars Bill Travers as a London civil servant whose pet otter leads him to true happiness on a remote Scottish isle.
Easy rider (starts tomorrow). Peter Fonda as captain America wheels around the United States with buddy Dennis Hopper. This is the cool mov- ie of the year wihh something for everyone-rock music, souped-up motorbikes, drugs and disillusionment,-which is probably the reason it is cleaning up at the box-office. ’ CAPITOL (90 King west, Kitchener, 578-3800) A double bill of Death
rides a horse- and Tracks of thunder. The former is another Italian oat- burner along the lines of the Clint Eastwood epics, while the latter is a stock car melodrama starring Tommy Kirk. Management hasn’t yet de- cided how long these movies will run or what the replacements are go- ing to be.
dDEON (312 King west, Kitchener, 742-9169) Paranoia (runs till thurs- day) is a forgettable Carol1 Baker melodrama that promises to “suck you into a whirlpool of erotic Love”.
The bridge at Remagen (starts friday ). George Segal and his Americans are fighting it out with Robert Vaughan and his Germans over some bridge, but all that develops seems to be a lot of talk.
FAIRVIEW (Fairview shopping plaza, Kitchener, 578-06OO)‘Ane, /Vata/- ie and The apri/ fools runs till thursday. Patty Duke stars as poor by- passed Natalie who finally finds true love at college. April fools is a smoothly executed comedy with Jack Lemmon and Catharine Deneuve, as a pair of star-crossed lovers who leave their respective spouses to run off to Paris.
Goodbye Columbus and Rosemary’s baby open as a double bill friday. WATERLOO (24 King north, Waterloo, 576-1550) The international film
festival closes tomorrow night with Romain Gary’s Birds of Peru. Dip- lomat-novelist Gary directed his wife Jean Seberg in this gloomy drama a- bout a death-seeking nymphomaniac.
TONIGHT: Ulysses, the movie version of James Joyce’s classic, pro- duced and directed by Joseph Strick.
WEDNESDAY: The /ion in winter. This is the movie that stars Peter G’Toole as Henry II and Katherine Hepburn as his wife Eleanor of Aquit- ane. It is notable for the heaviest inter-marital slug feasting since “who’s afraid of Virginia Woolf. ” Hepburn’s performance won her an Oscar.
If you missed Dr. Zhivago, after its umpteenth re-run, it’s showing at the K-W drive-in tonight and tomorrow, along with The young runaways.

gaps, theory foggy
by Marty Nova1 Chevron staff
I was extremely bored during Warrenda/e, and there seems to me to be no excuse for this. The film is about a subject which is somewhat depres- sing but very interesting, namely emotionally dis- turbed children.
It was in documentary form with a very candid approach, and this was the film’s major weekness. I was not concerned with the day-to-day concerns at Warrendale and .I became tired of seeing child
4 after child go through seizure upon seizure. The approach to emotional problems at Warren-
dale is indeed radical. The institution is divided into self-sufficient houses, and these are coeduca- tional. This in itself is unique but not so amazing as the approach taken in dealing with the children.
No child is allowed to isolate himself from the group or the staff. There is no staying in bed all day, no missed meals, in short no withdrawal. These rules are enforced physically if necessary, and indeed the film opens with a girl being drag- ged out of her bed.
Physical contact is emphasized, and the staff is always holding petting and kissing their patients. When a child is going. through seizure or being violent, the staff and sometimes the other pa- tients hold her legs and arms.
One of the staff members talks and even shouts at the patient demanding answers to questions such as “why * do you hate yourself?” “What’s wrong? ” Unfortunately the theory behind the tre- mendous pressure being put on these children is never made explicit and this approach abounds in theory.
The intense physical contact between staff and patient forces the patient to become involved with and relate to other people, and this is accomplish- ed even through hate.
The same motive lies behind the pressure put on the children to participate in everything going on in the house. Holding the children while they are going through a seizure, and in fact accelerating the frenzy in a seizure is part of a long-standing view that much of what is repressed and therefore troubling one, can be alleviated by acting it out.
Also, as Freud suggested, the effects of trauma can be cured by reliving the trauma. This method of barraging a child in crisis with questions may, it is hoped, set off a spark which will bring the deeply hidden original trauma to light.
The film showed none of the hoped for results. I didn’t like the film because I had to fill in too
much. Merely seeing disturbed children in an in- stitution being strangely treated without at least implicit explanation is more boring than shocking.
Chkt a dedicated revolutionary by Jay Fineman Chevron staff
For the most part, religious flicks are a bore. They’re usually cartoons complete with super- stars that make little old ladies weep. The stories are old hat by now and the stereotype portrayals are sickeningly sweet and pansi- fied.
The Gospel according to St. Matthew does not fit into this category at all. It is the story of a revolution where the cameras focus on people, not inspirational sunsets. The music is made up of a Congolese version of the mass and some old blues.
Christ looks more like Che Guevara than the usual George Hamilton. Even the apostles are shown without halos, and have faces reminiscent of Sicilian peasants : hard, angry and de- termined.
We see Chri9 in his struggle between the nettjsity of hard ego- tism that his revolution demands and his love for the people. He is no longer the flower child but a human being who knows he must die for the revolution.
Although few of the characters are fully developed in the dialog, we believe they -are three-dimen- sional after the camera has held painfully long shots of their faces.
The mood of the film and its power can be attributed to this camera work and the music. The dialog is all scriptural and remains on a level that is made almost superfluous by the camera.
The music also operates on the
level of the camera, a level of in- tense human passions. Anyone unfamiliar with Missa Luba should be told that it is a far cry from what is normally considered Christian religious sounds. The combination of African drums and voices with the melodies of the mass proves very exciting.
Between this and the old blues tunes we find testament to the superficiality of any of the words sanctified by the church in face of the immensity of passion that made Christ and his followers supremely dedicated revolution- aries.
The viewer is also treated to some very stark and surrealistic interpretations of the miracles. But except for the resurrection scene these are merely some- thing we must put up with.
There is no mysterious exit of Christ from his grave followed by the hallelujah chorus in the resurrection scene. But the stone door of the tomb is blown off to the sound of African rhy- thms. There is a tremendous burst of energy at the end of the film, as the resurrection brings on a wild joy and people run through the streets laughing.
The gospel according to St. Matthew is a toast to the salt of the earth, a condemnation of the hypocritical commercial rulers of Rome, and a finale in the freedom of the revolution
Altogether it is a moving involvement in the passion of men who want to be free. No wonder it was condemned by the church.

Draft of the University of Waterloo act,-1970
‘The act can give them freedom, powers and authority; b.ut wisdom, understanding and a I sense of common purpose cannot be legislated:
The fotfowirrg is a summary and conden- sation of the university act committeeS draft. The full draft was published in the administration Gazette, 6 august 1969. Many of the fegal phrasings have been ig- nored in this strmmar y.
The objects of the university shall be the pursuit of learning through scholar- ship, teaching and research within a spirit
i of free enquiry. The university shall have all powers
necessary and incidental to the satisfac- tion and furtherance of its aims as a uni- versity.
Governing council 1 There shall be a council of the university
to be known as “Council, University of Waterloo” with the following voting mem- bership.
Ex-off icio members : l the chancellor 0 the president l senior academic, administrative and
financial officers as decided by the coun- cil ; initially academic and operations vice- presidents, treasurer, deans of arts, en- gineering, mathematics, science, and graduate studies, and phys-ed school director.
l faculty association president l federation of students president l head of each federated or affiliated
college l dean of each federated college
Members elected from the university: l at least seven faculty members elect-
ed from constituencies, as determined by the council; initially there will be one member from each of the following consti- tuencies : arts, engineering, mathematics and science faculties, graduate-studies council, environmen/tal-studies divisions
i and phys-ed school. Each academic constituency shall elect
its member or members in such manner as the members of constituency shall de- termine, subject to the approval of the council.
l five members of the faculty associa- tion elected or appointed by its members in such manner as the association shall de- termine.
l one member of the faculty of each federated college to be elected or appoint- ed in such manner as the council shall de- termine.
l two members of the full-time non- teaching staff of the university, other than the ex-officio council members, who shall be elected by the staff in such mann- er as the council shall determine.
l a number of members of the federa- ’ tion of students equal to the total of faculty
members elected or appointed by faculty constituencies and the faculty association.
The students shall be selected in a manner determined by the federation of students, provided that at least one mem- ber shall be elected from each of the aca- demic constituencies defined by the coun- cil for faculty representatives.
Members elected from outside the uni- versity:
, l a number of members from the com-
munity-at-large equal to twice the number of faculty members elected from defined constituencies ; selection to be in a manner determined by the council.
Initially, these fourteen members will be selected by the current board of gover-
- nors. l five members to be appointed or el-
ected by the alumni association in, such manner as they shall determine.
* * * Terms of office of council members: The student members shall hold office
for a period of one year.
10 3~ the Chevron
All other members shall hold office for a period of three years, except that initial- ly some shall have terms of one or two years so that an approximately equal an- nual r$ation shall take place.
Each of the members shall be eligible for re-election for one succeeding term only, except that any such member shall be again eligible for re-election a year af- ter the expiry of his last term.
Any member will lose his position who misses more than half the council’s regu- lar meetings in a fiscal year without a leave of absence.
If an event occurs which removes a member’s eligibility for election or ap- pointment to council (such as flunking or being fired) his membership will be de- clared immediately vacant. However, if a student member’s term of study simply expires (such as by passing) he shall con- tinue his membership to the end of the fis- cal year.
’ Vacancies occuring in mid-term shall be filled in the same manner and by the same authority as the original appoint- ment or election. Such appointment or election Gall be for the remainder of the unexpired term.
* * * Council chairman : The council shall elect a chairman from
the community-at-large. If the elected chairman is already a council member, his seat will be declared vacant and a new member appointed.
The chairman shall serve a three-year term> and be eligible for re-election “from time to time”. The chairman will be non- voting.
In case of illness or absence, the council may appoint a temporary chairman from its membership.

More ‘Mao{- than- thou, The radical student movement’s ever it is) can’t be made in a news-.
decision not to work for the Chev- paper, and certainly the media in ron is regrettable (see page 2). a democratic societv must remain
It means, firstly, that the type independent of the political and of more-Mao-than-thou factional- economic forces, but the formal ism that has always’ divided pro- decision to stop working can only gressive movements has set in at be seen as ‘a childish attempt at
. Waterloo. some sort of purge. Last y,ear,,.the RSM managed to
include-,+ $.@i$ently varied forum’ of leftish dissent to appeal most of the time to a near-majority of stu- dents (particularly in the spring election of RSM member Tom Patterson to the federation presi-
. dencv).
It should not be construed that the Chevron is so committed to certain .goals that it biases news unfairly to give favor to its point- of-view.
Rather, the democratic news- paper should seek to cover fairly as much news as possible, and to .
The Chevron was part of that seek out features and opinion ar-
movement, although independent ticles that expose much of what is and under the control of a volun- not covered by the commercial _ ,JZ, teer staff that was sometimes a majority of RSM members and sympathizers, and sometimes not.
IllfXlld.
The problem of whether the RSM controls the Chevron .OP the federa- tion of students should never really have I come up. Certainly both are intellectually influenced by the campus radical movement, but the actual physical influence should be restricted to the actual work done serving the interests of students.
Apparently the RSM as a group is, not willing to do enough of the physical work on the Chevron to have the amount of political con- trol they desire. 1
By pledging to stop all work, they have withdrawn themselves
L into a more navel-gazing stance and alienated themselves further
. from their base. Certainly the revolution (what-
It must do this in all areas rele- vant to students as students, and students as citizens. That means the newspaper must cover sports, entertainment, meetings, every- day happenings in classrooms and events off campus that are rele- vant to students or that are being ignored .or slanted by the bour- geois press.
To limit one’s activities to a nar- r0.w set of political goals is to ig- nore realitv as much as do the bourgeois myths of society’ that are already under attack.
The end-of-ideology ideology called pluralism is as unreal as the we-have-the-correct-line:on-every- thing ideology of the more-Mao- than-thou crowd.
The editor of the K-W Record must be smiling now-but the mid- dle of the road the Chevron is pre- scribing is not pluralist like his,
It all begins at home The desire of many parents to
have their children learn discip- line in the schools (see center- spread) is a natural developm.ent of our uptight society.
Teachers are increasingly being forced to decide whether they will be disciplinarians or teachers.
The disciplinarians are finding their role harder and harder in the highschools. The teachers (the ones who read and understood the Hall-Dennis report) can at least go home without an ulcer.
In the elementary schools the problem is different. With the younger children, rebellion against parents is not strong yet, and teachers who try to foster a learn- ing environment often run into con- flid. with the home.
Parents want the teacher to as- sign homework, and they want their children competing. Some teachers have found it impossible to initiate any of the Hall-Dennis freedoms because of the parents.
If anyone still believes that char- acteristics are born into people, this example of environmental factors shouldbe enlightening.
Children do want to learn; they would naturally prefer to avoid senseless competition ; and the val- ues impressed on children in the schools are effective.
_ The elementary and highschools are still disciplinary ghettos in most of the province, bu,t the effects of a few progressive ones are certainly showing on ‘reaction- xv narmt.s
. The main thing is not to ‘take it .porsonolly
Acting otit power games . All of a sudden there are some
ripples in the smooth facade of the proposal for a single-tier univer- sity governmknt structure.
The proposal, which appeared suddenly and mysteriously in jan- uary, was quickly approved by the board of governors and senate{. The board discussed it in closed
session and the senate took’less than an hour to approve the prin- ciples.
should select the students to serve on the law and order committee. And it was only last year that the senate asked a particular student to sit on a committee to “repre- sent the students’ viewpoint”. That ) student refused.
One other power game being played around the university act was the proposal to cut the council in half.
All that was left, it seemed, was writing up the act in legal langu- age.
So what’s all the commotion? All,along, it was a matter of ap-
peasing power interests. What was in it for the board of
governors ? They would have to share power with faculty and stu- dents in order to get some say in academic policy.
This was not a student proposal, but a proposal of the businessmen who knew that a large body could- n’t manage the university, just legislate for it. They didn’t realize that was the purpose the faculty and administrators saw for it.
What was in it for faculty? Bus- inessmen alone would no’ longer have the final say in. financial matters of the university.
The student council supported the smaller body because it would bring control of the university to --- a broader group than at present and make the student representa- tion more meaningful.
What ‘was in it for the adminis- tration? They weren’t sure, but they hoped to hold the balance of power between faculty and stu- dents on one side and the business- men on the other.
What was in it for the students? Nothing as far as the people who run the university were concern- ed, except that they would be ap- peased with representation.
Administrative matters are now almost solely under the control of the president’s council+he same people who are the large segment of administrators on the’proposed co.uncil. By cutting the governing council in half, it would meet more often and bring all the matters de- cided by the president’s council under broader scrutiny.
Everyone else was playing pow- er games, and now they turn .,a- round‘ and suggest that- the stu- dents shouldn’t determine the way they will elect their representa- tives because they might vote as a block.
Similarly, matters of curriculum and academic operations would be brought under student criticism in a smaller body that met more frequently. Presently, they are just rubberstamped by the senate, ’ and this would continue under a large governing council.
But then, the committee of On- ’ tario university presidents’ dis- cipline report said the senate
Students have always been pow-\ erless. The game seems to be to ac- cuse them of being power hungry in order to deprive them of any meaningful participation on the unibody.
