Anderson hearings to begin Sunday

The faculty committee mandated by the administration to investigate a charge of racism brought against Assistant B io­logy Professor, Perry Anderson, is to hold its first hearing on Sunday in H-110 at 10. a.m.

Another investigation committee formed by the black students to determine the validity of the same charge is to m eet at 1:30 in H-110 also on Sunday. The students have said the university’ s committee is not an im partial one and is, thus, not capable of rendering a fair decision.

Michael Sheldon, assistant to the Principal, said that the administration’ s said that the hearings would be open “ to all members of the University com m unity” . Identification cards must be presented to gain admission to the hall.

The charges were levelled at Professor Anderson by six Black students who were enrolled in his course last year.

The affair has been dragged out over a lengthy period and the general handling of the entire case by the Science faculty has left something to be desired. It has been suggested that the administration has waffled incessantly in the hope that the charges would be forgotten or dropped.

The administration hearing com mittee is to be chaired by Professor Alan Adamson of the History Department. With him on the committee are Professors Fred Knelman, John Macdonald, M ichael Marsden, and P.K. Menon. Professors Chet Davis (Education) and C.S. Bayne (Com m erce) were to have sat oh the committee but decided to resign. Neither gentleman was available for comment.

Mr. Sheldon told the georgian last night, that legal council would be available to any party requesting it, and that the University would pay for this. He also said that any individual who feels he has evidence to offer, pertaining to the case, and who has not yet been approached by either the black students or Professor Anderson should get in touch Professor Adam ­son before the faculty com m itte’ s hearings.

Security precautions are to be taken at the Sunday hearing, but M r. Sheldon could not say what type of precautions, or what the precautions were to be taken against.

Silver and Worrell under fire

Motion requesting resignations defeated by Bookstore committee

Growing disatisfaction with the management of the Sir George bookstore resulted in the introduction of a motion, at a W ednesday meeting of the Bookstore Investigation Com ­mittee, asking that Bookstore Manager, Jack Silver, and U- niversity Controller, Henry Worrel, be requested to re­sign.

The motion, introduced by day student representative and

Moncton students return to classes todayCanadian University Press

Moncton -- Students and faculty at L’uni- versite de M oncton were to go back to classes Thursday (Jan. 23).

The two-day vote ending Tuesday in favour of a strike was reversed W ednesday afternoon when 65 percent of the 1,400 students voted by a slim majority to return to classes, suspending strike action pending a response to their demands by the provincial government.

The latest decision followed a Wednesday morning student meeting, with 1,000 in atten­dance, addressed by Administration President Adelard Savoie.

Savoie reported that Tuesday’ s day-long Board of Governors meeting ratified his a c­tions in calling in police Saturday (Jan. 18) to clear students from the science building. They decided not to bring charges against the occupants, who had held the building for a week.

Students met the report with mixed reac­tions. The campus has been split over the strike and Savoie’ s actions since the occupa­tion was shut down.

The science building was originally occupied to create awareness on the campus of discri­mination by the government in granting funds to Fren .h-language educational institutions in New Brunswick.

Faculty action saw resignation by the faculty executive in reaction to their “ radical” cons­

tituents, but the faculty too are taking another tactic.

They are planning to hold joint student- taculty study sessions over the next month and will be petitioning the provincial and federal governments for more financial aid.

An election to replace the faculty executive is expected in the near future.

Students’ Association Presi­dent, Manny Kalles, was sub­sequently defeated by a vote of two for, four opposed, and three abstaining.

Kalles proposed that V ice­principal (Finance and ad­ministration), John Smola ask for the two resignations.

The meeting opened with a letter of resignation as a committee member, from Professor Stan Hoffman. Professor Hoffman stated in his letter that “ there seems to be very little freedom of action, if any, as far as the creation of a bookstore that serves a university com m u­nity and that reflects the act­ivity or activities that are central to the university is concerned.”

“ I further feel that without adequate or com petent mana­gement we can never have the necessary freedom to a c t ’ if we are ever to have a good bookstore.”

Bookstore CommitteeChairman, Professor John Jackson, then read a letter from Professor Harold Shaf­fer, also a member of the committee, expressing disa­tisfaction with the com m i­ttee’ s success.

He suggested that the Com ­mittee should its progress and then decide if there was any reason for its continued existence. Professor Shaf­fer stated that he was also disatisfied with the manage­ment of the Bookstore and suggested that there was a “ dismal ignorance of busi­ness sense” ' evident in the store’ s management.

Jack Silver, who also sits

on the Committee, said that Dr. Smola should decide whether the bookstore was to be run as a business ven­ture or as a service designed purely to serve the students.

Mr. Kalles replied that this particular decision should have been taken two years ago and that the matter was now a concern of the Com­mittee's.

After a period of further discussion, Kalles introduced his motion which was secon­ded by day student represent­ative, Gary Druick.

Professor Shaffer, who also voted against the motion, ex­plained that he felt the m o­tion was based on two main points. Firstly, the com pe­tency of the Bookstore ma­nagement over the past few years, and secondly, the ques­tion of whether the present management is capable of running the bookstore in the future if the university is to continue administering it. Professor Shaffer insisted that the two men involved could not be judged until all these facts were known.

Mr. Silver then went on to discuss the present financial situation of the bookstore in­cluding disposal of inventory, deployment of Bookstore staff, security, and the statement of operations for the six months ended Nov. 30, 1968. The net profit for the six month period was $41,560.00, as compared to an anticipated profit of $53,036.00. He at­tributed the smaller profit to a smaller volume of bu­siness than had been expect­ed.

I note with gleeEditor, TH E GEORGIAN

I note with glee that Mr. M edicoff has replied extensively (and in his usual fashion) to Messrs. Carsley and Lazare’ s letter of resignation. Im m ediately after I read these gentlem en’ s letter of resigna­tion, I said to m yself that these would be im m ediately followed by an indignant, outraged, abusive and childish reply. I lit a candle to the Virgin M ary, saying that if m y dream came true I would reaffirm m y faith and return to the fold. Hail Mary, M other of God, Mr. M edicoff has been instrumental in m y reconcilia­tion to the Pope.

It is typical of Mr. M e d ico ff s com ­ments about the people he disapproves of that they possess the attributes and qualities one normally uses to describe sex starved hermaphrodites, or teachers o f English 211. Mr. M ed ico ff s capacity to slander, vilify and disparage are in­dicative of Mr. M ed ico ffs conviction that the world is essentially hostile and has yet to discover a sufficient respect for his own person. Mr. M edicoff is so consistently and continually on the defense that he mistakes criticism for sneak attack and thinks that anyone who d i­sagrees with him is a deep enem y, who must be beaten into the ground with counter accusations and childish his­trionics.

Mr. M edicoff has seen fit to make various unfounded accusations against two men of the Student’s Association. We must take into consideration that when Mr. M edicoff makes an accusation he is projecting and revealing his own fundamental insecurity. Mr. M edicoff possesses an ego-defensive personality of the sort that lies awake nights figur-

| ing out answers to the problem s posed by the fact that the world is basically alien to him and for some particular reason not interested in kissing his ass.

Let us examine Mr. M e d ico ffs record. Since Mr. M edicoff first took office last June his total contribution to the Associa­tion is worth less than the sweat off Jack Silver’ s balls. Despite the platitu­des, announcem ents and hundreds of dollars of paid advertising, Mr. M edicoff has done nothing and said nothing. And yet he has seen fit to question the honour of two of his executives. With his usual habit of quoting out of context and using inverted com m as to give an ironical twist to everything his nasty opponents say, Mr. M edicoff has wasted the time he should spent serving on the ASA.

Let us examine Mr. M e d ico ffs integri­ty. Last summer Mr. M edicoff forced through the Executive of the ASA. a motion creating the paid position of Assistant Editor of the Course Guide. He then had the ASA hire him for this position. That position paid $50.00 a week for 5 weeks. During the entire time of his em ploym ent with the ASA. Mr. M edi­coff was working as a full time employee of the City of M ontreal’ s Parks Depart­ment. He was fired at least once by the Editor of the Course Guide and forcibly rehired at the insistence of the Executive. Rumour has it that Mr. M edicoff intends

to run for President of the SA. in the forth-com ing elections. Let us hope not.

I await with eager anticipation Mr. M ed ico ffs self-righteous and offended reply. I trust it will help in deepening m y apreciation of the Sacred Trinity and reaffirming m y faith in the Father the Son and the H oly Ghost.

ErratumEditor, TH E GEORGIAN

This year’ s Carnival Book contains an erroneous piece of information with respect to the Sports Forum.

The first sentence of the article implies that the Sports Forum was being held w ithout the sponsorship or aid of the Commerce Students’ Association. It has been brought to m y attention that the CSA has been instrumental in the plan­ning of this event. I wish to make it clear that insufficient information was supplied to me in this regard.

At no time was any slight or degrada­tion at the expense of the Commerce Students Association the object of this unfortunate incident, and I apologize sincerely to the CSA Executive if this unfortunate error has caused them undue inconvenience.

M ic k e y M o u se

Editor, the georgian;I have just come from a class in Social

Science 210 and have come to the only possible conclusion that there is no fea­sible reason available that course could or should be offered in this or any other institute of higher learning.

When I registered for' the course I had the idea that it would be a “ M ickey M ouse” course yet I had hopes that per-

~haps this was a chance to learn something without the usual pressures, but it soon becam e quite obvious that this was an absolute waste of time.

Prof. Jack Goldner has this opportunity to experim ent and to initiate a truly worthwhile course but has obviously never attem pted such. The only plausible so­lution would be to let Prof. Goldner hand out printed notes for the students to read at their convenience and to award them an autom atic credit. Then to send Prof. Goldner out hunting for a new job .

Lost causeEditor, the georgian;

We secretaries of the Physical Plant Departm ent have been- collecting articles that students manage to lose while at the University.

the georgian s Washington Bureau

Although the incoming Republicans had nothing officially planned until Inaugura­tion Day on M onday, another political camp was buzzing with activity. Haw­thorne High School was the home of the hippies, the Yippies, S .A .N .E . and nu­merous other organizations who were equally vocal concerning their disatis­faction with the U.S. both at home and abroad. Co-ordinator David Dellinger wanted to bring these people together into discussion groups and hopefully generate some new ideas. On Saturday, workshops were arranged and the broad choice of topics worked very much to their advantage. Seminars were conduct­ed for the Farmers M ovem ent, the W om en’ s strike for peace, the under­ground media and the problem s arising from the nation’ s high schools, to name only few. Laurie Sandow was there representing the Young Socialists and gave a lecture on what is being done in the New York C ity area with regards to the explosive secondary school problem there.

Those who were not involved with the workshops, were preparing for Sunday’ s march. All the necessary equipm ent for an effective dem onstration had to be set up and the floors were strewn with paint and cardboard. Contribution booths to help out Rap Brown and the Califor­nia grape pickers had been built.

Unfortunately, paradoxically the turnout was tremendous and the school was in a chaotic state thoughout the even­ing. The seminars ran long into the night and it was only then that the discussions becam e, in any way, absorbing and stimulating.

Political and not physicalOne thing had been agreed upon by all

the participants: at all costs, the confron­tation must remain political and not physical. There must be no violence. S. D .S. had boycotted the inauguration and there was a rumour circulating that a renegade band from Ohio was going to come to the capital and do their best to disrupt the proceedings.

The rally the next day was held in a huge circus tent located on the Mall hear the W ashington M onument. The marchers were growing im patient and even Phil Ochs had a hard time keeping their attention. One man did break through to them, however. Derrick Alexander, a 25 year old soldier, got on stage and the crowd fell silent. He was missing his right arm and had an ugly scar on his forehead . Both these wounds were inflicted while he was serving in Viet Nam. He told the crowd that he repre­sented a fairly new recruit to the peace m ovem ent - the soldiers in uniform.

“ Peace Now, Peace Now”The tone had been set. About 65 active

service men headed the parade. Marshalls had been selected from am ong the de­monstrators and no one questioned their authority. The parade route was the

reverse of the one to be used on M onday by Nixon. The revolutionary banners were held high and proud: the black flag of anarchy; the confederate flag; the flag of the National Liberation Front and countless others. Shouts of “ Peace Now, Peace N ow ” could be heard all the way down Pennsylvania Ave. The turn out was good and far*exceeded the police estimate of 5000. It was at the end of the parade that the trouble started. Ironically e- nough it was a split am ong the protesters that started it off. One group wanted to pull down the U.S. flag in front of the N A SA building. Another group wanted to leave it up. However, before any real fight could start, someone m entioned that there was a reception for Spiro Agnew at the Smithsonian Institute. The m ob began to move.

For a time, the dem onstrators were content to use verbal abuse. When some of the delegates attem pted to reach the ceremony, they were pelted with dirt and assorted trash. Obviously fed up, the m ounted police began to move into the crowd which, by then, had grown to 2000 people. Suddenly their billy clubs began to swing with reckless abandon. The marchers retaliated with wooden slats from garbage cans. One youth was badly cut by a club when he tried to climb out of a tree on police orders. “ I was just trying to get dow n,” he said. “ They hit me from behind” . About thirty people were arrested in the fracas.

“ ... social freakout”

Few bothered to wait at the Institute until the end of the reception. It was cold and the Counter-Inaugural Ball was only a few hours away.

The tent housing the ball was packed by 9:00 o 'clock , and the organizers of what was billed as “ the greatest social

freakout of the decade” were forced to roll up the side flaps. Again, in a system com pletely opposite to that o f N ixon ’s, the tickets were priced from $2.00 for the best to $35.00 for the worst seats. In fact, there weren’ t even any seats. Ed Saunders of the Fugs found a striking similarity between the two affairs: “ Nixon has Dinah Shore and we have Phil O chs” . Phil Ochs sang and he sang beautifully. “ You’ ll have to excuse my voice” he said. “ I haven’ t sung since Chicago.” When the Fallen Angels, a local rock band, began to play, the light show began. When the strobe light was turned on, 8,000 spectators were turned on. Someone threw a dozen helium- filled beach balls in the air and the ef­fect was truly spectacular. People were smiling, dancing, grooving, smoking loving, and unaware, for the tim e being, o f politics. Judy Collins sent her love and Eldridge Cleaver, through Paul Krass- ner, was there in soul if not in body. Yet, as people went home, everyone knew what the next day would bring. It would bring Richard M ilhous Nixon into the most powerful political position in the world. It would also bring the final confrontation; the demonstrators, the police, and, for the first tim e, the Nixon supporters in strength.

M onday was Security Day in the Capital City. Downtown W ashington was virtually a police state under martial law. Three thousand D. C. policem en were on 12 hour shifts, 7000 National Guardsmen were working for 24 hours straight. Pennsylvania Avenue (the parade route) was lined with 10,000 soldiers. The Secret Service was everywhere, and there was even a special detail o f 100 men on pick-pocket duty. It was im possible to get anywhere near the reviewing stand without a special police press pass. Even those with passes were constantly

under surveillance and security checks. One authorized photographer was check­ed 18 times as he walked one block towards the W hite House. Needless to say, he was quite young and had fairly long hair.

Not insurableThe whole city was on edge. Last

year’ s assassinations and riots were in the minds of everyone. Insurance com ­panies would not provide coverage for the celebrations. Helicopters circled constantly, there were police and secret service men on every rooftop near the parade route, and reports of demonstra­tions that came over the walkie-talkies were greeted by a tense silence.

After his “ say-nothing-but-keep-the- people-happy” inaugural address, Pre­sident Nixon had lunch at the Capital and managed to show up late for the parade. Few of the 250,000 people present, some of whom had been waiting since 5 A .M ., could see him: his $500,000 limousine was covered with secret service men. Even a group of demonstrators from Ohio S.D.S. couldn’ t see him. But they were within throwing range. They lobbed dirt, garbage, cutlery, coins, sticks, and a smoke bom b over the heads of the crowd. The cars of the Joint Chiefs of Staff were not so well protected, and by the end of the parade they resembled garbage disposal units. Nixon kept on smiling. A true American. He walked up onto the reviewing stand unafraid. He was protected by bullet-proof glass, and Billy Graham was right behind him. He watched all the floats and bands and majorettes as they marched past for two hours. He even brought the Whittier High School Band all the way from California to honour him. He graduated from W hit­tier in 1930. Spiro Agnew’s band only had a half hour bus ride to the Capital. Agnew graduated from a Baltimore high school. As the parade came to an end, Nixon almost gave his security men heart attacks when he decided to walk right into the crowd. Luckily there were no incidents.

Billy Clubs SwingingElsewhere, however, police sirens

were screaming as demonstrators con­gregated and began “ causing trouble” . Paddy wagons spewed out hundreds of heavily armed police, and although it certainly wasn’ t another Chicago, billy-clubs were swinging. Ninety arrests were made as bands of youths roamed the streets near the White House, breaking windows on cars and stores that dis­played N ixon stickers and campaign posters. The melee did not last for very long, and although there were other dem onstrations well into the night, they were minor and inconsequential.

All in all, it was Richard Nixon's day. He had finally made the big-tim e, and he laughed and joked and waved to friends throughout the whole proceedings. Nixon had realized the Great Am erican Dream after over fourteen years of trying, and it was evident that he wanted every American to know it.

W elcome to the Nixon-Agnew Era. Good luck.

JCUA to begin final proposalsBy A N N E M c L E A N

The Joint Com mittee on University Affairs has com plet­ed its exam ination of briefs on the proposed university Senate, and, according to the com m ittee’s chairman, Bert Young, will now begin to work out its final proposals.

The final draft will hope-_ fully be ready by the end of April. Originally the University had set a tentative deadline for sometime in January. It now becom es clear, however, that as the need exists for more research in certain areas not touched upon by the briefs sub­m itted, it would be a mistake to rush the job .

Bert Young also expressed the hope that the new Senate would be ready to begin func­tioning by Septem ber 1969.

The JCUA has examined briefs subm itted by students, the library, the Sir George W il­liams Association of University Teachers, and the Athletics Council, and will start to a t­tem pt to formulate a final work­ing proposal ° t its next m eet­

ing, on Tuesday, January 28 from 4 to 6 p.m . M eetings of the JCUA are open to the entire University com m unity and are held in H333-3.

Fred Whitacre -A most valuable manIn Loyola College’ s athletics

complex last Friday night, a crewcut, wiry little man sat and watched as his basketball team was being beaten by a convin­cing margin.

And that is what he loves, and does best.

chose to spend his life teaching the game he loves as best he knew how. How he ever wound tip in the relative obscurity of Sir George is a mystery, but one senses that the man deserves a better shake than he is getting here.

Whitacre is a firm believer in the theory that psychology has m uch to do with winning. “ So much of it is up here” he says, pointing to his head. “ You’ve got to develop an attitude of ‘just won’t quit’ ” . If nothing else, he seems to be a man who partises what he preaches. H e’ just won’ t qu it’ in his efforts to make Sir George a powerhouse in collegiate basketball. Unlike Loyola’ s Doug Daigneault, ho­wever, W hitacre feels that a winning team will develop on its own and needs little prod­ding. Daigneault, in his insa­tiable desire to win a national title, schedules a gruelling 2 or 3 a week exhibition games on top of the regular season O S L slate. It caught up with them in the league playoffs last year, and if and when the Warriors manage to enter National play- downs this term, they will be a vary and wartorn crew by the time they got there. W ith W hi­tacre at the helm, many people believe that Loyola could have gone a lot further than they did last spring.

Win or lose, W hitacre loves his work and seems to have grown som ewhat attached to Sir George. “ They’re a great bunch of kids to coach,” he says in reference to this years Varsity crew. It is quite likely that the feeling is reciprocal from the players’ point of view. For Fred W hitacre is more than a mere basketball coach. He is an ex- cellant teacher and a wonderful friend, and given the im m ovable set of obstacles which stare him in the face each year, he has done remarkably well at Sir George.

Athletes representing this ins­titution are doing so by chance rather than b y design. Whoever happens to walk in and ask for a tryout is what a coach has to work with, and quite often, that

is not much. Given the green light of recruiting which now shines on the Loyola campus, W hitacre’ s distinctive and warm personality would undoubtedly lu­re some first rate basketball talent to the Concrete Campus. Intercollegiate sports at this U- niversity, however, is still a pretty haphazard proposition, and Whtacre must continue the fight against both concrete and abs­tract elem ents in his undying efforts to make a winner out of his Georgians.

Basketball at SGW U has a- bout as much following as a barbershop in Haight Ashbury.

Friday evening, the team played before a crowd of no more than forty people, most o f whom were relatives and close friends of the players. Being a strong booster of school spirit, this writer was frankly disgusted by Fred W hitacre, a man whose superior talents should take the lack of support as a blow to his pride, took the whole thing in stride, and shook it o ff as being part of the game. “ It’ s hard getting the team fired up and inspired when you look at em pty stands week after week,” he says, “ but these boys love the game of basketball and give it all every time they step on to the floor. “ Sure we’d like to play to capacity crowds like L o ­yola and M cG ill do but if they (Sir George students) don ’ t want to see us play, we can’ t force 'em .” It is indeed a shame for these dozen odd dedicated ath ­letes who sweat through practice sessions and games and sacri­fice their own time to give this university a name. The raw deal they are getting from their class­m ates is nothing short of cri­minal.

M aybe some day, in the near future, Fred W hitacre’ s outstan­ding knowledge of basketball and superb teaching ability will be re­cognized by a University that cares about athletics and has the facilities to faster that care. Then he will move on to greener pastures. But until that day ar­rives, Fred W hitacre is a man with a mission - to prove to the world that both he and Sir Geor­ge are winners; to som eday turn around and listen to a packed gym echo the sweet strains of “ w e’re number one.” Against alm ost insurmountable odds, the crusade goes on, but if anyone can do it Whitacre is the man. He is the psyche and spirit be ­hind his athletes and m ost of them would clim b mountains for him. The reason can be sum ­med up in one word - “ care” . Fred Whitacre cares about his ballplayers and he cares about Sir George.

It is high time Sir George be ­gan caring about him.
