Economics option were recom-mended by two of the studentSenators, Larry Scotf and HarryHartfiel. The recommendation thata minimum of four non-requiredEconomics courses be required, al-though consistent withcurrentArtsand Science policy, was defeated.Academic Values Questioned

After the consideration ofall thecourse changes the Chairman, Dr.F.C. Peters, gave the floor toanother student Senator, AlanMarshall. Marshall, in a speech,condemned theactions ofunnameddepartments who, in theircompeti-tion for students, design easy cre-dits to ensure popularity of theircourses. Marshall felt that studentswere worried over the worth oftheir degrees upon graduating andthat some courses reflected poorlyon the value ofaLaurierß.A. Mar-shall thenrecommended thata spe-cial Senate committee be struck to"examine the undergraduatecourse offerings .. .to determinethe academic value of all suchcourses and toreport to the Senate,their findings and recommenda-tions thereon, prior to September30, 1976." The motion wasamended to read "academic andprofessional value and then duetothe lateness of the hour, was refer-red to the Senate Executive com-mittee.

The special committee is to becomposed of the VP: Academic,two faculty Senators, one studentSenator, two faculty not on a Se-nate or any of its committees andone student not on the Senate orany of its committees. It has beensuggested that a two year term forthecommittee wouldreflect amorerealistic evaluation of the time re-quired to complete a study of thisscope.Student Senator Elections

A recommendation from theBylaws and Regulations committeethat was approved, was a newmethod of electing students to theSenate. The new method differedfrom the previous system in thatspecial arrangements are now tobemade to allow extension studentsnot only on the Waterloo campus,to vote, but also on the satellitecampuses in Orillia, Brampton andNorth Bay. The election is to bemanaged and supervised by theElectoral Committee of WLUSU.A question was raised concerning

the body that was to be held re-sponsible for financing the travel-ling and related expense of theElectoral Committee. Since theSenate is not empowered to deter-mine financial matters, the ques-tion was referred to the Board ofGovernors.

The method of electing studentsto the Senate is expected to comeforward to the board ofdirectors ofWLUSU at their next meeting.Final Exams Required

In the report from the Examina-tions and Standings committee, apolicy change allowing an instruc-tortorequire thata student take thefinal exam in order to qualify for apassing grade in the course, wasapproved after some discussion. Itwas pointed out that a student sim-ply by showing up foran exam andthen writing his or her name downon the paper could circumvent therequirements ofthis policy.

Student Senator WarrenHowardalso questioned the committeeabout the lack ofa policy compel-ling instructors to outline early inthe term, the methods to be used toevaluate the students' work.Long Meeting

The length of Senate meetingswas one of the other items consi-dered at the meeting. Dr. Harkins,as Chairman of the Bylaws andRegulations committee recom-mended that the Senate increasethe number of meetings per yearfrom six to seven, to shorten thelength ofthe .meetings.

In the previous year Senate hasadjourned as lateas midnight and inone record session continued until12:45 a.m. The motion passed de-spite the feelings ofsome Senatorsthat the extra meeting would con-sume just as much time as theothers. Senate meetings begin at7:30 p.m.'

After postponing two of the lastitems which had been postponedfrom the meeting before, the Se-nate considered a motion from thefloor toofferappointments toopen-ings in the faculty to the best qual-ified Canadian firstunless there is aclearly superior non-Canadian. Itwas pointed out by a studentSenator Alan Marshall that thiscontravened the Ontario HumanRights Code and thus the motionwas referred to the Universitylawyer. The" meeting adjourned at11:15 p.m.

Local Manpower

Job Information Centreby Anthony Roberts

On Tuesday afternoon, I had thepleasure ofbeing introduced to thelatest in community services.Situated on King Street, acrossfrom the Athletic Complex isWaterloo's very own Canada Man-power Centre. The office servesthe Waterloo, Elmira, New Ham-burg area and is designed to re-spond to everyone from the part-time job hunter to the occasionalaccountant or doctor who is Tnsearch of employment. The Centrehas been in operation for threeweeks and shows promise of be-coming quitean asset to the studentpopulation of the community atlarge. I spoke with Section Super-visor, A.M. Green as well as Coun-sellorEd Beaton whotogether suc-ceeded in setting forth some idea ofthe numerous services made avail-able by the Waterloo Branch.

The Job Information Centrehouses literature with informationranging from vocational training tomilitary careers, and is designed todeal with all, from the student, to

the senior citizen. The central fea-ture, however, is the "Job-Bank".This consists of a number ofcounter-type bulletin boards whichhold cards classified by numberand code. Eventually, the opera-tion may turn to computer termi-nals whichwould list the jobsavail-able fromthe Duke Street Office inKitchener. Mr. Green suggestedthat the Duke Street Office has no-thing which cannot be found at theWaterloo Branch and indicatedthat one need not seek the servicesof the Kitchener Manpower Officenow that the Waterloo Branch hasbegun its operation.

Mr. Green stresses that theCentre is in no way designed tocompete withthe University's ownplacement service.This isa serviceprovided by the people ofCanadafor the people of Canada, and,"weare here to help the student as wellas anyone else."

Mr. Green suggested that overthe years, the process involved insearching for a job has becomesynonymous with the very word,

'bureaucracy. "We are trying tochange this image" and if the briefintroduction which I was affordedcan stand as any indication thencertainly this is one service whichwill be successful in its quest.

The centre is manned by a staffof six experts representing overhalf a century in community ser-vice. The offices are open fromB:3oam to 4:3opm Monday throughFriday and a point has been madeto ensure that at least one counsel-lor is on duty at any given time.While it is possible to go throughthe process without even asking aquestion, the Centre is aimed atserving the community and accord-ing toMr. Green, "That, cannotbeoveremphasized."

So, the student nowhas access toan ultra-modern informationcentre, a job referral service, anemployment library and the ex-perienced knowledge contained inthe persons ofthe Manpower staff.Seven production managers are re-quired by a firm in Red Deer, Al-berta. Anyone interested?

Justin case any of you werethinking ofdoing a little unwindinginthe atheleticcomplex during this unduly tense timeoftheyear,pack that in... the gym will be closed during the period ofChristmas exams but will be open again next term for all ofyouwho noticably overindulged during the festive season. Limitedfacilities will be open during the exam period but these are fewand far between since some people find clanging weights andbouncing squash balls somewhat distracting when they are writ-ing exams. .

Year ending

Lounge Committee recapby Aubrey Ferguson

With tongue in cheek" MarshSpegel, Chairman of the LoungePolicy Committee, commentedthat he has found his past year inthat position "very enjoyable".Speaking with one month left injiisterm ofoffice, Spegel indicated thatthere are numerous accomplish-ments that his committee,WLUSU, its Board of Directorsand the University can look backon with a sense of acheivement.Amid cries from various peopledemeaning the work done by thecommittee, it was able to analysethe requirements ofthe Turret andits patrons andrecommend numer-ous improvements which theWLUSU directors approved.These include: the changing oftheTurret entrance, advertizing dis-play boards and more varied enter-tainment in the lounge—colourtelevision, piano, juke box, and aFriday evening disco night. Inaddi-tion, the operations of the Turretwere brought into line with thepolicies ofthe Ontario governmentby implementing Turret HouseRules.

More recently, the LoungeCommittee has directed its atten-tion to the matter of policies andpriorities regarding the operationsof the Turret. In as much as therequesting of capital expendituresgave rise to numerous rhubarbs inthe past, so have the discussionsconcerning policies given rise toheated debate.

At theNovember 24thmeeting ofthe Board ofDirectors the propos-als were considered and tabled.There was opposition to the prop-osal from Warren Howard andMichael Strong on matters of con-tent and format. Howard andStrong had earlier indicated thatthey felt that the operations of theTurret were not being properlyanalysed. At that time they pre-sented an outline of suggestedpriorities and policies for the opera-tion of the Turret to the LoungeCommittee.

After extended debate in theBoard meeting at which the Turretproposals were tabled Spegel andStrong agreed to arrange a meetingat which time they would collec-tively settle their differences. Thismeeting was held late Tuesday andthe results of their labours werepassed along to the Lounge Com-mittee for approval. Subsequently,it was approved and passed alongto the Board. Embodied in the newdocument are a series ofprioritiesand policies which will serve asguidelines for the Turret administ-ration over the next year.

The priorities support the con-cept of running the Turret at areasonable costwhich willgeneratea profit to subsidize operations inother departments of the StudentUnion. While this policy mayraisethe eyebrows of some students,Spegel points out that the profitsgenerated may well offset the needfor future fee increases. Spegelfeels that there is no inconsistencyin this policyand feels thatthe Tur-ret will continue to provide a suita-ble social atmosphere thatprovidesalcoholic beverages and entertain-ment at cut-rate costs.

Patrons of the Turret cannot ex-pect to see any changes of a physi-cal nature next year otherthan therenovations to be proposed to thedirectors in the new year. JanO'Brien, a student at large on theLounge Policy Committee, willpresent to the directors a proposalthat has been kicked around in thesidelinesof the student governmentsince the initial proposal was an-nounced (Cord, Thursday, Sep-tember 23).

The proposal calls for an expen-diture of 5,000 dollars. Spegelnoted that there were originally fivealternatives considered for theTurret in the forthcoming year,however, four of these were re-jected because of cost or physicallimitations.

The proposals considered by theTurret committee were the addi-tion ofa freight elevatorat acost of20,000 dollars; the extension of thebar facilities; the addition of draftbeer and the associated facilitiesfor the serving of the same; the ad-dition ofnew furniture such as ta-bles and chairs and the aforemen-tionedrenovations.

The elevator was part ofa prop-osal rejected last year by the stu-dents inareferendumand thereforeit is not considered a high priorityby the student body. Without theelevator draft beer is not feasibleand therefore renovations to thebar would- not be required. Thetables and chairs were found to beexcessively costly and so this av-enue was not pursued.

Thus the Lounge Policy Com-mittee found only one plausible al-ternative, and stated it as the pres-entpriority, redecorate the Turret.Opinion is divided between twocamps within the student govern-ment concerning the adoption ofthis alternative. One faction hasexpressed the opinion that the Tur-ret is quite acceptable as it is now.They believe that the students willcontinue to swarm to the Turret,regardless of the physical sur-roundings and therefore no furtherexpenditures are necessary at thistime.

The other faction, that is mostvisibly identified as the LoungeCommittee, believe thattheaesthe-tics are essential to the social envi-ronment of the students. On thistopic, Spegelreminds the directorsthat there is not only the question ofappearancebut also ofthe time andmoney that has already been com-mitted to the renovations. Spegel

states, "ifnot donethis year, it willcertainly be done in the future."Draft proposals have been drawnup but not yet presented to the di-rectors.

In a review of his year, Spegelexpressed concern over the lack ofcommunication between the stu-dent directors, the Lounge PolicyCommittee, the management oftheTurret in the persons of Jim Cra-ven, lounge supervisor and CarlArnold, Student Union BusinessManager. Spegel and Tiis commit-tee was known to have had numer-ous run-ins with both of the othergroups principally because of "nooverall directionoftheTurret/ Heblames no individual ortheproblems but indicates that hadfurther direction been given bythe then SAC, numerous complica-tions would not have arisen.

The most contensious issue wasthe question of who, in fact hascontrol over the operations of theTurret. The committee upon itsformation assumed from theguidelines itwas given thatitwas incharge; Carl Arnold, who had man-aged the Thursday night pubs pre-viously and was the supervisor ofthe Lounge Manager continued tooperate under the assumption thatthe Turret was his responsibility;Jim Craven, "the person hired tosupervise the Turret operationsnaturally felt the same way. In ad-dition, the Board of Student Ac-tivities being responsible for the en-tertainment offered in the loungefelt a certain involvement on theirpart.

It is felt that such confusion asthis has been eliminated by the pre-sentation of the recent Lounge recommendations. Should they beapproved by the Directors in themeetings of the new year, such in-dividuals as Spegel and his commit-tee operating within the bounds oftheir committee framework andStrong and Howard with WLUSUbut behind the scenes will sense animmense accomplishment.

commentHaving just returned from a superBoar's Head dinner (a tremendous

thank you to the people involved in all the planning) I downnow and try to compose an editorial... a tough task after all that food'etc. let me assure you ... However, to the matter at hand. This week'sissue in the editorial department is the termination of the office ofUniversity Chaplain.Sofarthisdecision has raised a lot of questions andeyebrows among those people who are aware of this office and itsimportance. To datethe letters and comments received have been of anethical nature and have purposely avoided any personal references tothe individual, Pastor Urdahl, orthe office. The point in question is themanner in which the decision was reached by the administration of theUniversity. Pastor Urdahl is absentfrom his post this year, on a sabbati-cal in an effort to further his experience for the benefit of the studentshere at Laurier.

To the best of my knowledge Paster Urdahl first heard of the decisionin a telephone conversation with President Peters, hardly the mostconsiderate way to inform a man that his job no longer exists.

Another unfortunate aspect of this affair is the lack of interest it hassparked in the rest of us on campus, those ofus who are not seminarians.This issue has nothing to do with the seminary specifically and it isunfortunate that anything of a religious nature on this campus getslabelled as such and thusly, ignored. The position that was terminatedwasa universityofficeand the methods by which itwas terminated wereextremely unethical. Some hue and cry mustbe raised if this procedureis to be prevented from becoming standard policy at this university.

Imagine the uproarthat would ensue if thiswere an athletics coach ora business prof or a favourite psychology professor...?V Mary Purves,

lettersAn angry reply

Under the guise of a "theorybased on the facts I have, beengiven" Mary Purves has concocteda fable about the arrest of two dis-tributers of progressive literatureon the WLUcampus November 20(Cord, Nov. 27, p.4).

As principals in the event inquestion, we feel compelled to setstraight the record so thoroughlyfalsified by Mary Purves and sev-eral other individuals at WLU.

"To begin with, let us all bear inmind thatpermission is required foranyone who wishes to market mat-erial in public areas of theschool... and the individuals in-volved in the recent incident wereaware of this standing policy."

Let's look beyond the narrowpicture presented in this introduc-tory statement. Wilfred LaurierUniversity is a post-secondary in-stitution supported by the taxes ofthe people of Ontario and Canada,and by the tuition fees of its stu-dents. With a knowledge ofhistorywe can confidently state that theCanadian people have neverprohi-bited the distribution and sale ofprogressive ideas, newspapers andliterature in places generally re-garded as publicly-owned. And weare confident that the Canadianpeople will never do so.

Furthermore, over the past twodecades the batde to put into prac-tice the right offreedom ofexpres-sion, and to prevent administratorsfrom severely circumscribing suchrights, has been fought and won ondozens of university campuses inCanada. Naturally it is with somesurprise that we find a student scof-fing at the achievements ofthousands of her fellows and up-holding an administration's use ofbureaucratic niceties to flout theverdictofCanadians on the right offree expression.

It was not thepeople of Canada,Ontario or Kitchener-Waterloowho objectedto the sale ofPeople'sCanada Daily News (PCDN)November 21 at WLU. Among thehundreds of students with whomwe talked on that day, not one tookissue withus selling PCDN and dis-cussing the ideas espoused in it. In-deed, many WLU students boughtPCDN and, even when they didnot, openly talked with us about it.Whether ornot hidebound adminis-trators like to admit it, that is aneducative process. And education,we're told, is thefunction of a uni-versity. The question which natur-ally comes to mind is not whetherweknew ofthis "standing policy",but, instead, who invoked this"standing policy"? By what au-thority, and inwhose interest? "Onthe day ofthe ruckus the two gen-tlemen were reminded ofthis littletechnical nuance and offered theopportunitytoobtain authorizationin short order. They declined andlaunched into their well plannedscheme."

It is clear that Purves cannothave consulted with Cord reporterClaudia Staines before writing hereditorial. Staines' report on thefront page of the Cord (Nov. 27) isessentially correct where it dealswith the WLU security officer'soffer "to obtain authorization inshort order." We quote: "Accord-ingto the two men, it (the incident)began when a security guard cameup to Hannant and asked him toleave the Torque Room. Hannantclaims that the security man, RonLangley, gave him no explanationas to why he should have to leave.The people sharing the table andconversation with Hannant wereasked if they objected to his beingthere, and whenthey did not, Han-nant pressed his point and againsaid he refused to leave. Langley,at this stage left, only toreturn in a

few moments, this time to forceHannant out into the Mezzaninehallway." In fact, Langley did notexplain to Hannant where hewanted him to go, or why, otherthan a vague "to talk". Langley,after being told by a student withwhom Hannant was talking that hewished to continue the discussion,left, without another word passingbetween Hannant and himself.Langley returned several minuteslater, told Hannant to come withhim, and, receiving the reply thatHannant was still in the originalconversation with the WLU stu-dent, began to drag Hannant out ofthe Torque Room. So much for theoffer "to obtain authorization inshort order."

Furthermore, we are astoundedthat Purves can reduce a democra-tic right to a "little technicalnuance." If the rights of free as-sembly and expression are mere"technical nuances" at WLU, whyhave several students and facultymembers been prevented from re-serving rooms in order to hold apublic meeting at which the wholeissue may be debated? Why haveadministrators been observed rip-ping down posters advertising ameeting on the subject, which wasoriginally scheduled for Friday,November 28? Why was there aspecial guard on the door to themeeting room where the public dis-cussion was to be held last Friday?To further quote Purves' commentofNov. 27: "Afterbeing warned byour security officer to leave theschool or obtain permission Han-nant began to press the issue andprotest that this is a democracy,etc. etc., leaving the security guardlittle orno choice but to remove themen from the premises. At thispoint it is important to rememberthat in the Torque room with asmany as 300 students sittingaround, no lone security guard is

about to precipitate a riot." Somephrase that— "leaving the securityguard little or no choice but to re-move the men from the premises."By the same logic it could be saidthatFranco, faced with the democ-ratic, republican sentiment of theSpanish people, had little or nochoice but toimpose fascist repres-sion on them. But even more re-vealing about the state of affairs atWLU is the statement that "with asmany as 300 students sitting

no lone security guard isabout to precipitate a riot." Thesettlement of a dispute over a mere"technical nuance" could "pre-cipitate a riot"? These WLU stu-dents are touchy indeed! Orperhaps it is just that the securityguards at WLU are universallyandjustly hated.

In conclusion, Purves assures usthat "there is little or no doubt inmostpeople's minds that these menwere in the wrong so no furtherissue need be made of the unfortu-nate incident." Ifthere was little orno doubtthatwewere inthe wrong,why were students who witnessedthe arrest of Hannant summarilyordered out ofthe Mezzanine hall,and herded away by police andsecurity officers? And we feel cer-tain that few students and facultywill accept your pious wish that"no further issue be made of theunfortunate incident."

The maintenance of democraticrights is a genuine desire at WLU.Many people, Ms. Purves, will notsubmit with your docilityto rule byadministrative fiat.

Larry HannantJ. Forest

And anotherRe: Jim Fischer's article "and

now our very own scandal".Fischer says that an apology is

due to the students at large by Carl

Arnold and Rick Wendler. If oneassumes that this is not the firsttime such things have happened,then a mere apology is inadequate.A written apology at this timewould not indicate that the peopleinvolved are sorry for their actionsbut primarily apologizing for get-ting caught. Why isn't a precedentset here and now for the treatmentofsuch situations where unreason-able use of influence has been dis-torted.

Isuggest thatpreventative actionshould be taken. Such actionperhaps could be stated to peopleserving on a committee or hired bythe WLUSU at thebeginning oftheacademic year and restated atperiods throughout the year. Thetreatment ofsuch situations shouldinvolve the verifying of suchcharges by a board and if any indi-vidual is found to be guilty ofsuchindiscretions, then that person'sresignation should be asked for.

Rick Wendler is clearly guilty ofsuch discretions. The PubCommit-tee has quite anumber ofmemberson it. Ifit cannot get along withoutone person who abuses his posi-tion, then this school is in worsecondition than expected. On top ofthis, Wendler isa don,and does notpresent the rest ofthe dons and infact the rest of the residents in avery favourable position. It hasbeen said also, that Wendler aidedin getting tickets for another floorin Conrad. J. am disappointed thatinhis position ofband coordinator,he feels that the pub should have aselective group. Is it not reassuringto know that somebody cares whohas fun at the pub?

On the matter of Carl Arnold, itshould be explained to him that ifsomebody asks himfora''favour,he shouldrefuse to do so and reportthis person to the WLUSU. If hedoes not want to report to his

Opinion and CommentCampus Concern

Turret controversy continues—a different angle

by Jim FischerHave you ever noticed how

much time the Student's Councildevotes to managing the pub?Think about it for just a moment.At every meeting of the Board ofDirectors there is usually sometime given to discussion of someaspect of the Turret. Almost everyweek a major write-up appears inthe Cord concerning some studentgovernment plan or controversyabout our favourite place of enter-tainment. Perhaps this amount ofattention is justified however, ifweare to consider also the revenuebrought in due to expendituresmade by students while indulging intheir elbow bending exploits. Itcer-tainly is a moneymaker. It alsoprovides a service for which thereis much demand. Nobody seems tothink that the price paid for aThursday night is anything out-rageous. There is a special groupofsixteen students who are not af-fected by the price atall. Theyhaveexecutive passes.

This year there were nineteenexecutive passes authorized. Thatmeans thirty eight seats at the pubcould be occupied at one time byprivileged people who are some-how connected to the StudentUnion, if you remember that eachperson may bring along a guest.The handout ofsuch passes wouldbe alright ifthey were justified, butunfortunately they are not. Manyof the pass holders are individualswho are not directly related to pubactivities. At the most there areseven people who have any realjustification for holding and usingthe passes they were given, be-cause they are employed by thestudent corporation in activity re-lated to the running of the Turret.Only the members of the LoungePolicy Committee, the stage mana-gers, the band co-ordinator, andperhaps the director of student ac-tivities should receive this specialfringe benefit.

A number ofotherpeople receiv-ing this little benefit have realizedthey should not have received it inthe first place. Commissioner ofUniversity Affairs Mike Strong,President of the Board of Publica-tions Aubrey Ferguson, and CordEditor Mary Purves have all re-turned the passes that they re-ceived as high ranking studentswithin the student organizations.Radio Laurier Station ManagerDave Gilchrist, although he has stillretained his pass, has not used it togain free admittance except on oc-

casions of business when he was commended for discrete usage ofchecking on Radio Laurier equip- the passes. They set afine examplement in the Turret facilities, or in- for others who have not yet seenterviewing the entertainers after the light and are retaining their pas-their performance.

So much for that issue. Now letus direct our attention to otherthings. This term has been a goodone for most of us. Much has hap-pened since September to contri-bute to a student's life of ups anddowns both in the classroom andaround the campus. Now the termhas finally drawn to an end, andtomorrow we can finally check offthe thirteenth week on the wall,brace ourselves for those remain-ing exams and finally call it a termand journey home for a muchneeded change ofpace. It might behard to do,but trynot toget caughtup in the rat race that is startingvery shortly. Christmas to mostpeople means little more than themandatory purchasing ofitems forothers. Of course we all know thatthere is much more to the wholefestive season that that. This yearlet's all take a moment amid thehustling and scavengingfor time torecollect our thoughts,and perhapshave the relaxing, enjoyable envi-ronment that this season was origi-nally intended to provide.

Good luck on those exams and,although we have another threeweeks to wait, have a good Christ-mas.

Through the Smoke

Assorted merry christmas thoughts and ponders

by Steve Armstrong

There is a raging blizzard outsideright now. The Kitchener Transitstrike continues. And Mr. Barrettwill form the next government inB.C. To the unobserving eye itwould appear that there is no con-nection between the above threephenomena. Allow me to take thisopportunity to explain.

It's snowing outside and 1 mustadmit I find this thoroughly pre-ferrable to the almost continuousrain which showers this dirty city.Walking in snow, even blizzard-blown snow is a refreshing en-vigorating experience. Walking inrain can also be nice, if the rain isfalling in a civUized manner suchthat one can use an umbrella. Thiscity in my experience, has neverknown a civilized rain. The fallingof water droplets is always accom-panied by horrendous winds. Rain,therefore, is a drag. Let's havesnow.

Now, on to the transit strike.How many ofyou have discoveredstreets in theK-W region that younever thought existed because the

transit strike forced you to walk?Undoubtedly I would have missedthese acute pleasures ofdiscoveryhad the transit strike notoccurred.

Also, because of the transitstrike I have on many occasionsbeen provided with an opportunityto test my physical staminaand myimagination capability. In a madrush to reach the train station intime to catch the last train to Lon-don I imagined I was a Roman sol-dier. Dashing down the streets ofKitchener pursued by murderingand wretched barbarians I had notime to think of my physical paincaused by the rapidity ofmy pace.

Admittedly, the people at thetrain station were somewhat star-tled when I burst into the stationand deployed my troops in an at-tempt to take the ticket booth by

assault. The steward on the traindidn't the Latin for"coffee" and my sword rustedslightly due to the dampness oftheevening. However, all in all, it wasa grand illusion not likely to haveoccurred had the strike not beenon.

So, all you poor wretches disad-vantaged by the strike, use yourimagination, enjoy life, and con-sider defeating the present councilnext time weall play municipal vot-ing day.

Anyway, on to Mr. Barrett.After a few years of makingenemies, Mr. Barrett still appearsto have friends. Organized labourhas given him theirsupport, inspiteof his somewhat unfriendly actionsagainst them awhile back. Mr.Bennett is manifesting his friend-

ship for Mr. Barrett by allowing allthe internal splits and cracks in hissupposedly united party to showthrough. Individual sacred candi-dates here and there are repudiat-ing each other, refusing to work to-gether, and creating a nasty impre-ssion of a party whose sense of di-rection is lost.

The "I'll announce it first" inci-dent awhile back indicates clearlyMr. Bennett's friendly ties into bigbusiness, their willingness to un-derhandedly help him, and his wil-lingness to accept their help.

Compared to Bennett, Barrett isangelic and the sacred's efforts topaint fangsand claws on him hasn'tworked. Barrett has been involvedin the saving ofcommunities whichthe big forest industries wished to

abandon. Surprisingly, his gov-ernment has not only assured thecontinued existence of these com-munities, but has also helped thembecome profitable, or at leastbreak-even, ventures. Mr. Barrett,the saviour of the working man andthe community.

Anyway Mr. Barrett will formthe next government because snowis better than rain, discovery andexercise better than riding a bus,and Barrett, though possessing ashaky record, appears the betterand more likely choice over Ben-nett and the anachronistic sacredparty. That is, sometimes bad situ-ations are good and good thingsmay still come of bad situations.Thelogic is not entirely defensible,but was fun pretending.

Sportby Greg Daly

Upon attending this year'sCanadian College Bowl a questionsurged through my somewhat ineb-riated mind. Is the real violence insport really due to the athletes in-volved or is it a product of the de-mands of the fans?

There were two full staged warstaking place last Friday night, oneon the field and one in the stands.The thrashing and pounding of twohundred and fiftypound linemen onthe field was but a peaceful con-frontation in comparison to therage that ran rampant thru thestands.

The college bowl, supposedlyone of Canada's great socialevents, was witnessed by some se-venteen thousand strong, of whichalarge portion were smashed outoftheir skulls. It did not take long forthe fights to break out. Whereverone looked he could findfists flyingthrough the air somehow findingtheir target, bloodying noses andmouths. And for what?

Since one of the teams, the Di-nasaurs, were from Calgary it wasobvious if just from a geographicstandpoint, that there was no greatallegiance involved for that side.Yet the fights raged on and multip-lied throughout the stands.Granted, it was the consumed li-quor that provided the catalyst forthe batdes but the fighting was un-warranted, especially the abusivelanguage, spilled booze and flyingfists that showered the police. Weneedn't have to look to Europeansoccer matches for violence exhi-bited by the fans. It's just as badhere.

It is my contention that physicalcontact in sport is aheathy oudet ofviolent inhibitions that mightotherwise be directed in otherareas. In viewof theaccusations ofviolence on hockey made by Mr.McMurtry this fact merits consid-eration. McMurtry wants to cleanup hockey and make violencewithinit acriminal offence. While itis assuredly correct that stick sw-inging deserves direct legal action,the game would lose much of itsappeal for the fan if physical con-tact was greatly minimized.

What McMurtry does not takeinto consideration is the fact thatthe violence is aproduct ofthe fan.It is the fan who condones the viol-ence. Millions of fans buy ticketssolely to enjoy the violence in thesport. In the days of the Romans,fans paid to watch Christiansslaughtered in the Coliseum. Viol-ence is a product of society. Thefan creates the image of violenceand reacts to it in apositive fashion.When a fight breaks out, no matterwhere, people flock to watch like agroup ofparasites devouring a car-cass.

Go to a wresding match on aSunday evening keeping in mindthe names attached to these ath-letes; Killer Kowolski, The De-stroyer, Erik the Animal, and Ab-dullah the Butcher. These namessell tickets because they are as-sociated with some kind of viol-ence. The fan craves the stigma at-tached to the names. Take awaythe violence and the fan staysaway. Similarly, in football andhockey, the fan creates the image;the Fearsome Foursome, Mad DogKelly and Tiger Williams are justafew examples. The fan eats it up.Even the NHL champions are cal-led the Broad Street Bullies.

It is clear the fan reacts to theviolence. Thosewho witnessed lastyear's playoff games on TV bet-ween the Toronto Toros and SanDiego Mariners know what I mean.The real animals were on the out-side of that steel fence cage in theSan Diego Arena, not on the ice.The same holds true in other NorthAmerican cities such as Philadel-phia and Boston. As long as viol-ence occurs on the ice, or the fieldofplay, people will buy tickets be-cause they love it and they need it.

superiors, then surely the Cordwould appreciate this information.

On a special note. It has beenheard from a reliable source thatanother esteemed member onWLUSU requested, and repor-tedly received, an amount of tick-ets. What I'd like to say is that suchactivities are only corrupt whenmade public. When kept private,then these activities are still knownas "favours". Therefore if Wen-dler and Arnold do apologize in theCord, just to admit, they werecaught, then the other individualsowe no apology simply becausethey were not collared. Perhapsthey still think they have done nowrong. I dare these people to con-sider their position and act respon-sible.

In conclusion Fischer askedthese people to apologize to thestudents. I, as a student, do notwish or want their apologies.Rather, I want to see Wendler'sresignation from the Turret com-mittee and Carl Arnold suitablyadmonished. As for the others whohave taken advantage oftheir posi-tions, they could sit on theirpedestals and gleam for not beingapprehended.

I ask for Blair Hansen's councilto eradicate these "bad apples"from the bushel and set the prece-dentsobadly needed. Too many, inthe past, have misused their posi-tions simply stemming from theirintoxication with power to fulfilltheir vain aspirations and give andreceive "favours".

Joe FazariP.S. By the way Blair, whatever

did become of that "Awareness"program? After all, was this'not theplatform you ran on last yearor wasit just another good gimick?

ConcernThe dismissal of the Rev.

Richard Urdahl and the resultingdiscontinuation of the full-time of-fice ofchaplain on this campus aretragic actions.

Every institution is a mixed bles-sing. Health care, education andbusiness in institutional form pro-vide needed services to large num-bers of people. But they also dealimpersonally and sometimes call-ously with individuals (and smalldepartments) within, which do notand cannot conform with im-mediate bureaucratic concerns.This is understandable to a degree.One cannot expect large scalebureaucracy to meet each andevery individual need as it arisesday-by-day; those involved in ad-ministrative affairs would surelyagree. However, somewhere in theinstitution (i.e., on this campus)there has to be an organized ele-ment whichcan at least take time tolisten to the human affairs of theone—you and I. This was the man-date of the resident chaplain. Theoffice of chaplain has been elimi-nated; aforeboding signforall ofusinvolved with WLU.

This decision on the part of theBoard of Governors should be re-viewed and revoked.

by Claudia Staines "Since Eve ate apples, much depends on din­

ner." Truer words were never spoken. But some­times you may not feel like cooking anything, or the Torque room fare is definitely not what you want to eat or maybe it's a special occasion and you've decided to splurge on dining out. Whatever your reasons may be, few things are as nice as being pampered by going out to have a meal. So the next time someone asks you if you'd like to go to dinner, or you do the asking, you'll know a few places to recommend. And remember, you read it here first.

Home Cooking Students are notoriously known for their thin wal­

lets, but ANGIE'S KITCHEN will feed you well at a sensible price. Angie herself is a gem. An open, friendly lady who runs her restaurant like the dining room of her home rather than like a business, Angie's been cooking since 1963. It's a family affair, started by she and her husband, now run mostly by her son and ~aughter.

The night we were there, we arrived close to clos­ing time, so it wasn't too crowded. Line-ups, espe­cially on weekend nights are common. Once you're inside though, and ordering, you'll appreciate the reason behind the crowds. Angie's fish and chips are legendary_,<:risp batter surrounding mild, firm pieces of select cod and thick, homemade chips. Not greasy at all, and accompanied by a serving of super coleslaw.

My companion had breaded pork cutlets, served with a vegetable and those delicious chips. He as­sured me that the cutlets were not dry, in fact were very moist and well-prepared, not over-done. For dessert we had a couple of Angie's homemade butter tarts, guaranteed to satisfy anybody's sweet tooth.

There are of course several other choices to be made from the menu including hamburgers, hot sandwiches and breaded veal. On Sundays, Angie roasts a traditional turkey dinner. Everything she and her friendly staff makes is homemade, which suits the homey atmosphere of the place.

Our dinner for two, including dessert and coffee was priced at just over six dollars. ANGIE'S KITCHEN, 47 ERB ST.,Open all day until 8:00 at night, 9:00 on Thursdays and Fridays. Unlicenced and no reservations.

Next door Neighbours If Angie's is like home, ARNIE'S mu'st be home to

some people. In its strategic position between the two universities, Arnie's is a well-known watering­hole, and is also deserving a reputation as a good restaurant.

The menu here is limited but includes the sort of things everybody likes to eat. ·The night we went, my companion had a steak, served with potatoes, and the chefs salad as a side order. The steak was pre­pared exactly as ordered, flavourful and tender to eat. I also had the salad with my dinner, and found it crisp, fresh and broken into bite-size pieces.

I chose to have one of Arnie's specials, barbeque spareribs. It comes with potatoes and coleslaw, and a tangy sauce that is spicy without being over­powering. We also had a side order of onion rings that was big enough for four people. Everything was served hot by an efficient waitress. Naturally there are other items available from the menu, including rainbow trout, weiner schnitzel and the ever popular hamburger.

If the room appears to be too big for intimate dining, it really is meant to be the sort of place where a big group of friends would go. Also at nine, when the kitchen has closed down, the room becomes a disco. It's a good place to spend the whole night. Dinner for two can be had for less than ten dollars, including a drink before. ARNIE'S TAVERN AND DISCOTHEQUE, UNIVERSITY A VENUE. No re­servations, but watch for the week-end crowds. Dinner from four to eight in the evenings, Sunday brunch from eleven in the morning until two.

Food that Really Schmecks

If you're not from Kitchener-Waterloo, you may not be familiar with the history of the area. Origi­nally settled by Pennsylvania Dutch Mennonites,

The Cord Weekly 4, 1975

Fine and varie

Dining Out: This article was compiled after several months of pleasant dining, by Claudia Staines, a Cord reporter. It covers many of the great spots for students to eat in the Kitchener - Waterloo reg1on.

there is still an active Mennonite community flourishing in the county. Mr. and Mrs. Milo Shantz of St. Jacobs have brought a little bit of the Pennsyl­vania Dutch kitchen to everyone with their brand­new restaurant, THE STONE CROCK.

Two dining rooms are plainly furnished, as befits the background of the restaurant, but they're warm and comfortable. The one we were in, the Eby Room, offers an lda carte menu. It has standard fare, including hamburgers, but when you go out there, be adventurous, and try the meals that make the Stone Crock a standout. The hickory smoked ham or the farmer's sausage both have honest flavours that have almost been lost in this age of processed foods. Your meal will come with a huge serving of potatoes and vegetables, as well as ample portions of the meat.

There is a salad bar offering traditional German coleslaw, made with an oil and vinegar dressing. Try the cottage cheese and apple butter combination; it perhaps sounds a little different but it tastes so good. And, on top of everything else, a plate of fresh homemade bread, both white and whole wheat, is served to each table. If you like desserts, be sure to try the vanilla pie, sweet without being sticky, and just a little bit out of the ordinary.

The second room, the Martin Room, was booked by a private party the night we were there. However, it is usually open to the public and serves a set dinner that changes night! y. Two kinds of meat, two kinds of vegetables and potatoes for just over four dollars, probably the most delicious bargain you 'II ever find. There is a third room, meant for very small private parties, and fourth is being renovated in the base­ment.

The whole house is filled with antiques from the time when everyone farmed for their livelihood; most are handmade, all are practical and all beauti­ful. There is also a small gift shop area in the front of the building which sells mostly Mennonite products and crafts. The mood of the place though is really touched off by the waitresses who are dressed in Mennonite clothing.

Dinner for the two of us came to less than ten dollars. In keeping with the background of the house, it is not a licenced restaurant. THE STONE CROCK, ST. JACOB'S can be found by travelling west out King Street for about twelve miles until you reach the village. The restaurant is in the c·entre of town, on the right coming in: it isn't far away, and what drive there is is well worth every minute. Open from 11 :30 until 7:30 during the week and until 8:30 on the weekends, reservations are not normally needed.

~~

Fore Going the other way to the far east end of Kitch­

ener is an interesting place called the EAT N' PUTT TAVERN. During the summer it masquerades as a mini-amusement arcade, complete with a giant slide. The tavern is open all year round, fortunately for us.

The dining room is large and airy, and staffed by friendly and efficient people. The atmosphere is open and you'll feel welcome, however many there are in your party. It's a people place. The menu is geared to those who have to watch their budgets and yet want a good dinner; there is a good variety for very reasonab\e prices .

My companion chose to have the quarter barbe­que chicken (a half chicken is available) and re­ported that it was tender and moist, with a super barbeque sauce that couldn't ~e bettered. I had the

pigtails, which had been roasted with a special bar­beque sauce. They too were excellent and unlike most commercial preparations of pigtails, were not greasy. Both dinners were served with a crisp chefs salad, potatoes and fresh rolls. There are appetizers available including french onion soup; other entrees included are steak, breaded shrimp and fillet of sole, served in batter.

I am a dessert fan and sampled one that evening I found very sweet without being filling; it's a pie called Nesselrode, light and fruity and, accom­panied by a good cup of coffee, is the perfect ending to a great meal. Dinner for two, with before dinner drinks came to just over ten dollars. The EAT N' PUTT TAVERN located at the end of Freeport Road is open for lunch, with dinner served until ten on weeknights, one in the morning on the weekends. Sunday hours are noon to ten. Reservations are generally not needed, and you'll have a good even­ing.

Christmas shopping can be very un-merry and if you've been at it all day, can create large appetites. Eaton's, in the Market Square, has a restaurant cal­led SIR JOHN'S that serves lunch and dinner, for whatever time you feel hungry.

The room where you 'II be has not been commer­cialized but is rather comfortably done and well-lit. Service is efficiently quick. When we were there for dinner, I chose the ham steak which was broiled and served with a pineapple ring and a raisin sauce. My companion chose the chicken Kiev. Both were sim­ple dishes, and if perhaps a bit bland, were nonethe­less enjoyable. The price for each included vegeta­ble, potato and rolls. And a salad, with the most extraordinary dressing. It's called Sir John's special dressing, but that doesn't prepare you for the oil, vinegar, lemon herbs and anchovies. I know it may sound different, and while the teaste is unusual, we both found it delicious.

Because it was my companion's birthday, we in­vested in a bottle of wine fro_m their small but satis­factory wine list. In spite of the wine, our dinner bill came to approximately sixteen dollars. Lunches, being smaller meals, are necessarily less expensive.

I was told at a later time that Sir John's is well­known for its prime ribs of beef and yorkshire pud­ding. I'm planning on going to try them in the near future at SIR JOHN'S in the MARKET SQUARE, KITCHENER. Open for lunch at 11:30, they start to serve dinner at four thirty until eleven at night. ~~~

Gemutlichiet Are you really hungry? Are you almost broke?

Take a fifteen minute drive out to the BERKLEY ROOM at Bingeman Lodge and be prepared for a hearty, mouth watering smorgasbord done up the way only the Germans can do it, and all at a most reasonable price.

Jonas Binge man is your host, a man who looks as if he appreciates good food, so you can be assured his dining room will offer you the very best. The room is physically quite large, able to accommodate large crowds yet make a single person feel equally at home. Your waitress will be costumed in traditional dirndl, enhancing the atmosphere, making the meal move along smoothly.

You can begin with drinks or a beer, or have wine with dinner if you wish, but it is the dinner that you'vecome for, and there is a lotofitfrom which to choose. The cold plate choices seem to go on and on, including potato salad, perfectly made; an onion and sour cream·salad that is mildly sweet; coleslaw pre-

pared in traditi I ed herrings and water; and ane1 cently large inc crackers, hot rei! everyone.

The list of other entrees included different cuts and preparations for steak and one of my favourite choices for dinner, dover sole. However, we were pleased with the meals we did order. To complement them we chose a bottle of white Yugoslavian Reisling wine.

We capped the meal with a cheese tray, limited in the varieties of cheese offered but more than ade­quate for two in quantity. We had liqueuers with our coffee to cap a lovely meal. Dinner, including the wine came to approximately twenty-five dollars. I would highly recommend the dining room at the Wi\TERLOO MOTOR INN, KING STREET in Waterloo for any occasion, or no occasion at all , just good eating. You'll feel very welcome. Open from five to ten during the week, and until nine on Sun­days .

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Cellar Cuisine It seems like a strange place to put a restaurant ,

but in the basement of the workmen's Compensation Board building there is a super dining room called the RATHSKELLER. Don't let the Germanic name

fool you-the menu is varied and wide-ranging offer­ing som'ething to everyone.

Physically the room is quite large, but with screens and partitions in strategic places,. you can feel as if you're dining in a small, intimate room. Softly lit and tastefully decorated, the room is en­hanced by the pleasant service. It's the menu that will hold your attention the longest though, trying to make near-impossible decisions.

We did finally manage to make up our minds settl­ing on the french onion soup for my companion and the lobster bisque for myself. Both were deliciously hot; mine was creamy and flavourful and ~he onion topped with lots of parmesian cheese. Being only slightly adventurous my friend chose to have the pepper steak which was done exactly as he wished, and really not unpleasantly peppery. It was in fact, he said, delicious . I chose the Rathskeller plat!!, a combination of beef, pork and veal all covered with a cognac sauce that was very good. Asparagus, braised celery and mushrooms accompanied my meal.

I love wine and found that the Rathskeller's wine list was really quite good, offering something to all palates. We decided on a German Rhine wine, prop­erly chilled and served with a flair that may seem pretensious, but is a lot of fun. We had to pass on dessert, both having enjoyed the first parts of the

meal too much. However, I have it on high authority that the Black Forest cake and the apple struedel will melt in your mouth.

Something to note about this place is that they are going to try to stay open very late at night in order to serve the eleven o 'clock post-movies crowd. It should be a welcome addition to the Kitchener scene giving those with the late night munchies a good place to ease the hunger pains. Dinner begins at five at the RATHSKELLER, FREDERICK STREET, KITCHENER just past the courthouse.

~·~~~~~~~~~~~~

Extraordinarily Simply Good

If you're a meat and potatoes sort of person, perhaps the restaurants up to now haven't tempted you very much. The CHARCOAL STEAKHOUSE in Kitchener should appeal to anybody. It's re­knowned for its steak, offers lobster for the rich at heart and has pigtails and ribs if you're the sort who likes something you probably wouldn't make at home.

It' s a warm, friendly place that asks only that you come willing to enjoy a good meal. The waitress we were lucky to have was charming and very efficient. Fortunately too, the restaurant hasn't decided to capitalize on its popularity by putting tables in every space, but has left the room quite airy giving each table a little privacy.

When you go out there , be sure to try the garlic bread. It is brought to your table hot, buttery and seasoned to the right degree. My companion ordered the french onion soup to begin , a dish he found quite hearty. I skipped the soup, preferring to try the Caesar salad. It was marvellous, but really big enough for two. From there we went on to the next delic ious course .

Steak is what the place is about so my friend chose the New York sirloin , medium rare. It looked to be a perfect steak , and done exactly as requested. I chose to have the barbeque spareribs which were tender and coated with a delicious sauce. And it was so much fun to eat with my fingers. Both meals came with your choice of potato and a fresh tossed salad 0

I found Nesselrode pie on the menu again , and tried it again and found it to be just as good this time as the last. Good things never vary, which is nice to know when you're looking for a great place to eat. We had had a halE bottle of Beaujolais and had li­queuers with the coffee. It was a very good meal set in pleasant surroundings .

The steakhouse is moving in the early part of new year just down the road to a bigger complex. We are assured however that bigger size means only that they will be trying harder to please us; the excellent quality will not suffer.

Dinner for the two of us came to about thirty dollars, and was· worth every bit. THE CHARCOAL STEAKHOUSE on KING STREET E. in Kitchener, by the Hi-Way Market, is open for dinner until mid­night during the week, until nine on Sundays.

Canadian Romantics I am a romantic at heart. I love quiet places with

nice people for a mellow sort of evening. It leads on to all sorts of wonderful things. Which explains why I've left these two restaurants to the end. They are what I would call romantic. The only drawback to either one is that they are both out of town, one being in Preston and the other in New Hamburg, but if you really want a very special evening, you 'II make it. And you'll find that it will be more than worth it.

THE WATERLOT , inN ew Hamburg, is a beauti­ful big old house that has been renovated, turning it into a charming four roomed restaurant. Each room is done in a different colour, soft and cheering, and has been kept small enough so that you can imagine yourself in the dining room of a friend's home. Your hosts, Don Marriott and Gord Elkier, make you feel welcome, like old friends.

We were seated in the downstairs room, panelled in wood, with a bright blazing fire going. Our wait­ress came quickly to take our drink order, and after giving us ample time to choose from a varied menu, took our order. My companion decided to try the escargots, done with garlic butter and a dash of cognac. I had the avocado prepared with crab and

'• '\'\

shrimp. (This last item has gone off the menu with the introduction of the winter menu.) Both were delicious, a good lead-in to what was to come. The ·next course was a fresh green salad with the chefs own special recipe. Everyone tries to guess what is in it, but he refuses to give the secret away. What­ever it is, it's good.

I finally broke down and decided to go with an old favourite and had the dover sole. The Waterlot of­fers three different preparations, but I prefer the amandine; done lightly in butter and almonds. My companion chose to have the toumedo, a steak with a very special pate on top, served on a crouton. He said it was excellent. Everything was hot, and the service impeccable.

Again dessert was truly the perfect ending to the meal. I tried a luscious moch<\_ cream cake that just melted in the mouth. We also tried one of the house coffees; this one was Cafe Roma, coffee with an ounce of Galleano liqueuer. Dinner for two came to approximately thirty-five dollars.

We had a nearly perfect evening at the WATERLOT in New Hamburg, a twenty minute drive from the University. For a ·very special even­ing, dinner is served from five thirty on to about ten, closing time at midnight on the weekends, eleven during the week. Reservations are a must on Friday and Saturday nights. And just for interest, the Sun­day brunch is marvellous; served from noon until two thirty.

French Romantics Want to impress, or be impressed? Try the

BOUQUET GARNI in Preston, where the service and the cuisine are very French, and very good.lt is not an especially appealing building from the outside but you are there to wine and dine and I think you will enjoy your evening.

The room is partitioned into two smaller dining areas , so that everyone may have a measure of pri­vacy and comfort. The room is softl y lit , and everyone speaks in low tones to add to the atmos­phere. Even your very comfortable chair lends itself to pleasant day-dreaming. Carlo , the majordomo , is terrific, absolutely perfect in everything he does for you.

The menu gives the name of all the dishes in French , but explains them in English. Decisions of this sort are hard to make as everything sounds so good, but we finally decided to begin with soup. I chose the lobster bisque, rich, creamy and given to large chunks of lobster. My friend began with the french onion soup, so thick with onion and heaped with melted cheese a spoon didn't seem adequate. We both then had the chefs salad, crisp and filled with a good variety of garden greens.

This time it was my companion who had the sole, carefully breaded, and prepared in butter, served with lemon. He said it was delicious, very mild, and very tender. I chose to have the veal cutlets stuffed with goose liver pate. It is an unusual sort of thing, indescribably good. It was served with a thick, well-seasoned tomato sauce. Both meals came with potatoes and freshly cooked vegetables.

I almost had to pass up dessert, but Carlo talked me into a concoction of wine and egg yolks and sugar that is gently heated and served immediately from the pan. I loved every rich spoonful. My friend had the house special dessert, cool, creamy, fruity blend that melted in the mouth.

We had a bottle of German Rhine wine with our meals, and lovely strong hot coffee with dessert. Dinner for the two of us came to about forty dollars. It was undoubtedly one of the most pleasant even­ings I've ever spent. At the BOUQUET GARNI travelling down Highway 8 to the bottom of the hill. Open every day for dinner, except Sundays, at about half past five. Reservations needed.

P.S. The French Cowboy, the room below, is a fun little bistro when you don't wish to have a large meal, but would like to add a little bit of elegance to your life.

I would like to say my thank you' sat this stage. To the owners and managers of the different restaurants we visited, to the staffs who made things move smoothly, and most especially my companions who bought me my wine, and made excellent dinner conversations.

Requiemby Gerry McCauley

Nineteen seventy-five, the lastyear for the existence of Inverhu-ron Provincial Park. The park hasbeen expropriated by OntarioHydro and the Atomic EnergyControl Board of Canada for theexpansion of the Douglas Point,Bruce nuclear generating stationand heavy water plant.

Today Inverhuron ProvincialPark is located just north of In-verhuron. Itis a 545 acre ProvincialNatural Environment Park whichpreserves areas of natural, scenicand historic significance for educa-tion and enjoyment. Facilities in-clude 331 camping sites, a day usepark, a group camping area, naturetrails, and interprative stations.

The physical features ofthe parkare a mixed deciduous coniferforest; many ferns, shrubs, wildberries, and a limestone based lakebottom, punctuated with sandy de-posits. The water is clear and cool,ideal for swimming, water recrea-tion, and fishing. Unfortunately,for the park, these waters are alsowell suited for the production ofheavy water, needed in the Candunuclear reactor. Adjacent to thepark sits theBruce Generating Sta-tion which will double in size ontothe park's property.

In examining the reasons forInverhuron's death, we can pointonly to the Bruce Nuclear Plant.For thisreason, I question the wis-dom of locating Generating Sta-tions in areas of intense public use;on Lake Huron, which may sufferfrom nuclear spills; and in areaswhich are not major consumers ofthe power being generated. Bylocating away from the large con-sumption centres, will cause yetanother loss of land. Power cor-ridors totransmit the power will cutover forests and agricultural land.Water is taken out ofLake Huronin a cooling process by the plantand is pumpedback in ata tempera-ture 14 degrees (F) higher. The ef-fect on the marine ecologyhas beenincreased growth of algae andweeds. A slime now covers therocks near thepark. This is the firstsign ofthermal pollution, but whatabout nuclear pollution? There hasalready been 3 spills ofradioactivematerial into the lake that the pub-lic has been informed of. OntarioHydro will belittle the spills andcall them harmless when theyoccur. The biggest thing thatbothers me about this is the loss ofInverhuron Park. There are notenough public camping and recrea-tional areas in Southern Ontarionow. This can be witnessed on anysummer weekend when the parksare overcrowded.

The cost of nuclear generatingstations is also very high. At theRoyal Commission on ElectricPower Planning last week, chair-man Doctor Arthur Porter com-mented on costs of nuclear powerstated, "it's avery expensive tech-nology andwill not be feasible untilat least the end ofthis century," hecontinued "that the reliability offossil fuel and nuclear generation isnot as good as water generation."

If the chairman of such a bodymakes these kinds ofstatements itbecomes evident that Ontario hasjumpedthe gun on nuclear technol-ogy and should slow down itsferocious pace of spending (1.5 bill-ion dollars for 1976) and re-evaluate its nuclear expansion pol-icy, hopefully with some form ofpublic input. Plans already indicatemore power stations on LakeHuron, one near Goderich, On-tario, on good agricultural land.

Inverhuron is going, it is too bad,but, it will be replaced 10 miles tothe north with 100 campsites ex-pected to be finished by May of1976. Inverhuron has providedmillions of hours of cheap recrea-tionfor thousands ofpeople, IhopeOntario Hydro can provide equalbenefits.

Back Talkr It was with deep regret that Iread of,the recent decision toterminate the office of the Uni-versity Pastor. My first reactionwas a personal one in that thepresent University Pastor,Richard Urdahl, was a goodfriend. I am sure that for manyindividuals; faculty, staff, andstudents, the discovery of theloss ofsuch a talented man, cap-able ofholding innumerable pos-itions on this or any other cam-pus, came as a great shock.However, the issue lies on adeeper plane than justtheloss ofone man!

The attitude that, pres-ents itself in this decision is notonly disastrous for the manywho knew Pastor Urdahl, butmore importantly it is disastrousfor the fundamental nature ofthe University itself.

A number of very serious is-sues have already been broughtto light. The first is of an ethicalnature; that is, the terminationof a man's position, without hisbeing present, while he is on asabbatical leave to re-equiphimselfforcontinued service tothe students, staffand faculty ofthis institution. The secondissue is a functional one; whowas consulted in the decisionand how werethey consulted? Itmay be a simple matter to con-tact the "seminary" or the"Student Services Depart-ment" but do they truly reflectthe needs of the broader com-munity? What about the faculty,the students and the staff? Itwould seem that their inputwould be essential since thechaplin's activity transcendsthese artificial boundaries. Thequestion also arises, especiallyin fairness to the "Seminary" &the "Student Services Depart-ment' ', as to the nature of the"consultation". What were theliteral questions that wereasked? It is a meaninglessstatement to claim that thesepeople were consulted sincethat implies that they agreed tothe decision, when in fact, theymay have been opposed! Thethird issue is a financial one; onwhat criteria do we test the val-idity of a service or program onthis campus? The obvious ans-weroftheBoard ofGovernors isthe cost. However, this does nottake into account at all for theproductivity or the benefits re-

ceived by the University com-munity. Universities are by nomeans solely subject to the sameproductivity studies as theirbusiness counterparts. How-ever, a casual analysis by thestudents reveals some clearareas where there exist and willcontinue to exist considerableamounts of "dead-wood" hav-ing no real value. A more ap-propriate criterionmight be thatof the benefits received by thestudents, faculty and staff in acertain program or in respect toacertain service. However, thismayprove somewhat embarras-sing, since it may reveal thatmany of the programs and ser-vices under scrutiny are only"window-dressing". Theseexist in order to lay claim to thefact that we have a departmentor program for such a service inspite of its irrelevance and lackofstudent/faculty centered con-cern.

Of the utmost concern is theeffect of this decision upon thefundamental nature _ andpurpose of the University. Inthisrespect, the decision ismostdisastrous. The institution ofthe University was basically ac-complished in mediaeval timesby the church. Its purpose wasto enable a person to grasp andto be grasped by the "truth".Initially this "truth" was a re-'ligious truth, however, over aperiod of centuries, the natureof this truth has beencategorized by the various dis-ciplines of the sciences andhumanities. This, of course, isof great value.in so far as wemaintaina world-viewofthe na-ture of "truth." In order tofacilitate this "grasping" fortruth, the Mediaeval Universityendeavoured to educate notonly the mind, but also thebodyand the spirit, in as much as thistricotomy is,applicable. Educa-tion was not simply a matter ofinjecting vastamounts ofknow-ledge and facts into a student,but rather complementing thestudent's attitude in a morecomplete way. In brief, the ob-jective was to make a person notsimply a knowledgable personbut also a "whole person".This, of course, has evolvedthroughout the ages, yet theconcept of the "whole person"

remains essential to any sin-cerely functioning University.

The most obvious questionthat we might derive from thisrather primitive sketch is:"What does this mean forWLU?". Itmeans simply that inso far as WLU does not strivefor this objective, itis no longera University and should nolonger lay claim to being one.Granted not all students willavail themselves of all oppor-tunities to achieve any sense of"wholeness". Yet, it remainsthe duty of the University tomaintain the essential options.The construction of the athleticcomplexconstitutes an exampleof a very positive step towardsaccomplishing this objective,insofar as such a complex is anintegral element of the Univer-sity. However, the Universitycannot rely solely on its clericalprofessors and the Seminary tomeet theneeds of those studentswith spiritual concerns. Theidea of employing part-timechaplains is ludicrous since inno way can this fulfill the de-mand and the need for pastoralservices. The claim to authorityby citing that other Universitiesare engaging in this practice byno means implies an inherentvalue in such a system. In myopinion, the system is a dismalfailure on so many campusesthat it is no claim at all. In thisregard, WLU has beenfar aheadof so many other Universities inbeing faithful to its original cal-ling and objective; the ' 'whole-ness of the People".!

Wilfrid Laurier exhibits atremendous potential in thefieldof Higher Education. It offerssomething to which most Uni-versities attempt to lay claim. Ithas for so many years exhibiteda faithful understanding of itspurpose as a University. Withinits 'hallowed halls' there existstremendous human resources.It would be a shame ifthis Uni-versity joined thehost of othersthat have lost their perspectiveon the true meaning of Univer-sityeducation. It is my hopethatthe Board and the President willseriously reconsider their deci-sion in the light of the honoura-ble purpose to which they havebeen so loyal in the past.

Bug baitDENVER (CPS-CUP)—Studentsat Steven F. Austin University inTexasare awash in dorm problems.

•The plumbing system in theirDorm 13 broke down and puddlesof water are steadily rising in thehalls and rooms. Residents arebothered by more than just wetfeet, however.

The pools of water have becomebreeding grounds for mosquitoes.

''Theyought to fixitor stock it,"complained one student.

Although school officials andplumbers have visited the waterysite several times, no one has yetfigured out where the water is com-ing from. In lieu of a solution,school officials have laid downseveral sheets of plywood as abridge and handed out a half-dozencans of bug spray.

"We don't have any malaria oryellow fever around here," theUniversity physician assured thestudents. "They've had somecases of encephilitis in Houston,but there haven't been any aroundhere yet and thatwould be the onlyworry at the present time."

So far the students are makingthe best of a wetsituation. "This isyour lake," reads one sign in thedorm. "Keep it clean."

Our ApologyIt is very important thateveryone who was offendedby the cutline

and the picture thatappeared last week with the article on the termi-nation of the university chaplain, understand that nothing untowardwas intended. It was an honest mistake and we all make them,especiallyat that time ofnight, so please accept oursincere apologies'for whatever unfortunate results there may have been as a result ofour thoughtlessness.

Many ThanksI wouldlike to take timein this little spaceto try and thankall those

people who have helped us out this term... to the many people whotook time in spite oftheir own workload to writean article for us, orseveral, we would be white space without you... to the terrificpeople who tolerated our useless typewriters to turnout copy... tothe guys in the photo dept. who are continually coerced into doingimpossible things... and, as always to Dave, Rick and Ross for theiroutstanding workandxontinued support... and to you,who mustbeanavid reader to have noticed this... merry Christmas and thank youall.

ENTERTAINMENTA year end review of the best and worst

by Ross McDonaldLike most years, 1975 has

proved to be a year which has fea-tured it's share of surprises anddisappointments, along withnumerous comebacks and failures.The return of Eric Clapton to his"bluesy best" with E.C. Was Here,was one of the highlights of theyear. The return of the Who to theconcertcircuit has also raised quitea few eyebrows as was the case ofthe Rolling Stones.

'75 has also been filled withnumerous surprises, especially thereturn of theBee Gees disguised asa "disco band". The departure ofRitchie Blackmore from Deep Pur-ple and lan Hunter from Mott theHoople came unexpectedly. JohnLennon was as surprised as anyonewhen his exportation papers werecancelled. One of the major sur-prises, but at the same time a dis-appointment, was David Bowie'salbum which was dedicated to theJackson Five.

The year also witnessed "feats"which came of no surprise. BTOonce again proved that lack of tal-ent and success go well together.Alice Cooper's album Welcome ToMy Nightmare turns out to be justthat in that Cooper must have con-ceived these songs during a baddream.

The last twelve months also re-vealed a widespread popularity ofthe country-rock sound. This isevident in the growing success ofthe Eagles and Linda Ronstadt,each of which has perfected thesound. Others, notably Pure PrarieLeague and the Outlaws have eachattempted to re-create this soundand have found limited success.

This yearhas also seen the reun-ion of past 60's bands such as theSearchers and the Turtles whohope to cash in on the present re-cord sales bonanza. There is alsorumours that one of the mosttalented bands of recent years, theMonkees, are in the process ofbuilding another coffin for them-selves.

This brings me to the point ofselecting the topalbums ofthe yearas well as those which are thrownto the back of the record piles orgiven to little cousins as Christmaspresents. So this is what happenedin '75, an 'unbiased' viewpoint ofsome of the high and low points ofthe year.

Best Album of the Year1. Crime of the Century/Supertramp2. Blow by Blow/Jeff Beck3. Feats Don't Fail Me Now/LittleFeat4. Eldorado/Electric Light Or-chestra5. Michael Fennelly/Lane Changer

Supertramp also gets the nod forhaving the bestproduced album ofthe year. Sound is somewhat re-

miniscent of Genesis but withkeyboards and vocals more domin-ant. The album is the story about aperson who is committed to an in-sane asylum but who is not reallyinsane at all.

Blow by Blow, an entirely in-strumental album, is Beck's best todate. He has developed a "funky"sort of sound.

Little Feat is perhaps the mostunderrated band in America. Theymix catchy lyrics with arock/boogie type of sound. Theband is tight, backing LowellGeorge's mean slide guitar.Ifthe Beatles were together they

wouldprobably sound like ElectricLight Orchestra. This is their bestconcept album to date although themusic hasn't changed much. Bestmixture of strings and rock on themarket today.

Bruce SpringsteenBorn ToRun

including:Night/Jungleland

Backstreets/ ThunderRoad/She's The One

Michael Fennelly is a relativeunknown. Although this album wasmade in 1974, it has only been re-cently released in Canada. Thesound is somewhat similarto EarlyLed Zepplin in that he plays guitarmuch like Jimmy Page and his voc-als are a cross between RobertPlant and Jon Anderson of Yes.

Best New Performers1. Journey/Journey2. Mike McGear3. Be-Bop Deluxe/Futurama4. Armageddon/Armageddon

Journey features former Santanaorganist Greg Rollie and AynsleyDunbar, former drummer withFrank Zappa and David Bowie.They have developed an originaltype of sound, from quiet synth-esizer oriented background tofast-paced guitar/organ duels. Thealbum is worth it if only to hearDunbar's drumming.

McGear is Paul McCartney'sbrother and his vocals are amaz-ingly similar. McCartney alsowrites several of the songs as wellas playing back up instruments.

Be-Bop Deluxe have a soundquite similar to some of DavidBowie's earlier material. Bill Nel-son is presently one of the finestguitarists in England. This is theirsecond album. The first one, AxeVictim, is available only as an im-port, but is well worth the money.

Comeback of the Year1. Eric Clapton

2. The Bee Gees3. The Eagles

After a disappointing tour in '74,Clapton has reverted to the style ofplaying which characterized hisearlierguitar work withCream and

Derek and the Dominoes. He hasalso shown a "change in attitude",towards his music in that he hasshown a renewed interest in theblues, evident in his latest album,E.C. Was Here.

Both the Bee Gees and theEagles have seen their careers takea turn for the best. The Eaglescountry-rock sound has come ofage while the Bee Gees have de-veloped an entirely new concept.Each band's latest album has beentheir biggest seller to date.Best Live Album1. On Your Feet or on YourKnees/Blue Oyster Cult

This is definitely a band whichdisplays it's talentsmuchbetterin aliveperformancethanin the studio.This album is no exception. Oneofthefew double albums on the mar-ket ofwhich each side is equal instature. Definitely suited for thosewho enjoy rock n' roll metal at it'sbest.

The following are some of theyear's "low" points-Major Disappointments1. Born to Run/Bruce Springsteen2. Sheer Heart Attack/Queen3. Ride A Rock Horse/Roger Dal-trey

Springsteen is fast becoming oneof the most over-rated performersin thecountry. He is afine musicianbut only one of many who arepenetrating the industry. His pre-vious album would seem to be amore logical choice as his "best"album.

After two steady first albums,Queen's new one was eagerly an-ticipated. However, it seems tolack the so-called "spark" oftheirearlier efforts.

It would be hard to find a muchbetter vocalist in the business thanRoger Daltrey. One would have towonder then, why he would wastehis time on suchmediocre materialwhich does nothing to enhance hisvocal talents.Most Unnecessary Albums1. Four Wheel Drive/BachmanTurner Overdirve2. Fly By Night/Rush

Any album by BTO seems to beunnecessary. However, a third-grade sound is sometimes all that isneeded to make $$$$$. The mainproblem with this band is that it isgetting harder to distinguish onealbum from the other.

Rush is Canada's answer to LedZepplin and a poor one at that.Should attempt to develop an origi-nal sound.Missing and Presumed Dead

Bands such as Deep Purple,Queen, Chicago, and Nazareth,havelost much oftheirpast appeal.This is evident in their last albumswhichare mediocre tosay theleast.It can be expected thatmore bandswill fall by the wayside, being con-tent to sit back and reap their fatroyalties.

General AbsurditiesRock music has become ex-

tremely commercialized over thepast twelve months. Many feel it isthe best way to gain better expos-ureto the public. However, in mostcases, this backfires. The best ex-amples are extremely absurd to thepoint of being hilarious. RogerDaltrey's appearance on the MurkGriffin show takes the cake. Canyou imagine a guy who has per-

formed on such albums as Who'sNext and Quadrophenia singingwithsomeone whocouldn't singhisway out of an old kleenex. TheEagles little sing-song withHoward"Motor-Mouth" Cosell is another

example of the gradual disintegra-tion ofthe music industry. Music assuch was meant to be played in au-ditoriums and theatres, not in theT.V. atmosphere ofa living room.Could you have imagined Ed Sulli-van singing "She Loves You" withthe Beatles?**Worst Album of the Year**1. Metal MachineMusic/Lou Reed

This dubious award goes to theking ofdepravedrock. I knew thatReed was capable of some prettywierd stuff, but this time he hasgone toofar for his own good. Anymore albums like this could resultin Reed being the perennial holderof this infamous honour.

films: Caller: wrong number

The Night Caller, playing thisweek atthe Capital II in downtownKitchener, is billed as "Nerve-tingling action." Supposedly,"The tension is killing as a sinisterwhisperer threatens". The only'sinister whisper' that I heard waswhen an usher told a fellow whowas sitting a few rows back thatsmoking was allowed only in thelast eight rows.

The movie is not the thriller thatit's touted to be. It's merely a col-lage of cliches that tend to evokegroans from an audience. For ex-ample, in the opening scene awoman is awakened by a lunaticwho gets his jollies by breathingobscenities over the telephone.The caller threatens to visit thewoman's apartmentand, naturally,she becomes hysterical (scared).She phones the police and, as youcan probably guess, she is told notto worry, to just ignore the caller.Of course, she cannot ignore thecaller so she has a heart-attack andfalls to the sidewalk from the win-dow of her seventeenth-floorapartment.

That is the only suspense that isaroused by the phone-caller and,thefact that we can guess whatwillhappen, lessens its impact consid-erably. Surprisingly, the movie is

not centered on frighteningphone-calls as its title would indi-cate, rather, it is concerned withthe pursuit of the caller by ahomicide detective.

The starring role is that of thedetective and it is played in EvelKneivel style by Jean-Paul Bel-mondo. The detective fears no-thing (realistic, right?). He evendoes the old "Hang from thehelicopter toget yourman trick inthe closing scenes. Add to this ahigh-speed ride on the top, repeat,on the top, ofa subway train and aroof-top chase for the caller andyou have all of the feats that youraverage super-cop performs in anaverage day. If he would have atleast hesitated fora momentbeforeperforming these tasks it wouldhave beenalittle more convincing.

To be fair, the roof-top chasewasn't too bad. There were somegood jumps and near falls that atleast kept the audience interested.However, even if the entire moviehad been ona par withthis scene, itstill would have been onlymediocre.

Some aspects of this film werejust down right poor. For instance,great pains were taken, from theoutset, not to show the face ofthecaller; that gave the audiencesomething to waitfor. But, then, ina scene of little significance, hisface was revealed and the surprisewas ruined. In addition, the callerhad a glass eye that was included asan extra attempt to make thecharacter frightening; that didn'twork either. Finally, the Englishdialogue in the film had been dub-bed over the original French trackand I find that when that kind ofatrick is attempted I tend toconcen-trate on the difference between themovement of lips and the wordsthat actually come out.

It's been a long time since I'veseena goodmovieand I was hopingthat The Night Caller would haveallowed me to write a positive col-umn this week. Unfortunately, theonly thing that I'm positive of isthat this wasa film ofpoor quality.

The Christmas spirit beginsby Paul Decourcy

For most people, the spirit ofChristmas is just starting to be re-vised. After eleven months of no-thingness we can get back into thatjoyous time of year again. And dowhat we as consumers do best,spend, spend, spend. Yes, eventhough we may just be awakeningto this fact, more than two monthsago the business world was prepar-ingus well. When I think back I canunderstand why I felt a bit out ofplace under the festive decorationsadoring our palaces of credit. I wasstill in my summer mood, shorts,golf shirts and sneakers while theyhad dressed themselves in tinsil,holly and plastic mistletoe.

Back in the good old daysChristmas started when Santa-Claus came to town, and in thosedays he didn't show up until twoweeks before the big day. Now hearrives at least four or five weeksahead of time and starts thingsmoving in November. Sometimes Iwonder howthey worked outa deallike this. Constant reference ismade to the fact that we are theproduct of the baby boom. Well ifthat's so, and they say thebirth ratehas declined since then, how couldhe fit all of us into his busyschedule? Everyone got to tellSanta what they wanted forChristmas, braving long line-upsand the photographers and Santa'shelpers. Now he has less kids, andmore time. Well I guess the extratime is so that everyone can makesure after reading: "How to get themost out of Santa" by E.A. Tons,that they get what they want.

Even more puzzling than thisthough, is how much the old manhas gone downhill. During bettertimes he always had areal cloth suitand for some reason his helperslooked like real elves, even betterlooking. Today is the world ofplas-ticand Santa's converted to the wetlook, and as the price ofboots wentup he could only afford the fronthalf.

Thereal tough part ofChristmasthough falls on today's kids. Ourchoice was very simple, our par-ents usually knew what we needed.The usual at our house was under-wear and socks. They tended to bethe same size and colour so thatwewouldn't fight about who ownedwhat. If luck was with us thenSanta might have brought us a gasstation set, or a train set, really,when it came right down to it, thatwas all there was.

The kids of today must decidebetween so many different things.The boys still have a much morelimited choice than the girls. If youwere a kid again you could ask for"Chopcycles Hairy Hurdle" or a"Laguana Seca Supertronic Rac-ing Set", if you have problems re-membering these, (come tothink ofit, pronouncing these could throwyou,) many other selections areopen. Mr. Action, Kar-A-A-ateMen, Bionic Man, or a whole arrayof Johnny West society, could beproduced in Santa's workshop justfor you. Much thanks should go tothe author E.A. Tons as he makessure that if any of the above ispicked then you can also build onyour Christmas gift witheverythingfrom bionic repair shop to a mobiltraining shop for the constantparade of friends which the aboveseem to bring after them.

I think the answer to the declinein the birth rate has been solved.All they have to do is combine aBaby alive and a Rub Dolly with aSmartypants. The product will be alittle kid who would eat, and drink,deposit its waste while smartmouthing you. Any temptation togetrid ofitwould befoiled as it isn'tdamaged by being exposed towater, in fact it floats. Now with achoice like this open to a young girlit's no wonder they may turn to thegood old Barbie doll. She's the onewho owns everything, wins every

gold medal and is the best dresseddoll around. Come to think of itsome ofthe hardest choices have tobe made by the pre-teen set.

Well I guess we missed out onthat sort of spirit and had to settlefor a more limited style of Christ-mas. When your kids are sittingaround your feet you'll be able totalk like your parents about thegood old days. Itmay notmake anysense to them, (more than likelythey'll have read the number onebest seller, "How to get the mostout ofSanta," E.A. Tons, author.)

A common scene in theHawk-Warrior game last Friday night as Warrior defensemanlets flyagainst goalie Phil McColeman ofWLU. Bythis timePhil was probably thinking

Inconsistent play leads to Hawk downfallby Rick Campbell

"Now ifwe can just get them toplay that way for 60 minutes."

That was the sentiment expres-sed by several Hawk fans afterwatching WLU dominate the Uni-versity of Waterloo hockey War-riors during the second period oflast Friday night's game. Unfortu-nately the Hawks came out in thefinal period and optedfor the' 'whowants the puck" style they had dis-played in the first period and as aresult fell to their arch rivals 8-2 atthe Waterloo Arena.

Ken Green oftheWarriors reco-veredsufficiently from the shock ofbeing handed the puck on a silverplatter to givethe Warriors the leadonly 19seconds into the game. TheHawks, showing no inclination toheadman the puck, were inter-cepted in their own end and thenwatched helplessly as Green snap-ped a 35 foot screen shot past PhilMcColeman. Swell start.

But Hawks fought right back andseconds later on an excellent scor-ing chance in front of Warriorgoalie Jake Dupuis unluckilydinged a close in drive offthe rightgoalpost. More unluckily, this at-tempt marked the only serious

scoring threat WLU had in theopening frame, as the hosts outshotour squad 10-4.

Most ofthose 10Warrior oppor-tunities came as a result of sloppyplay in our end, no incident moreobvious than the one resulting inWaterloo's second goal. McCole-man wentbehind the net to stop thepuck and gothis signals crossed upwith captain Tim Sampson. In theensuing confusion the puck skip-ped out in front of the goal andanother shocked Waterloo playerslapped the puck into the net beforePhi could recover. Sadly, this mis-cue offset several outstandingstops in the firstperiod by our manin the yellow cage, but there is noway any team will beat teams likeWaterloo by allowing goals likethat. End of first period 2-0 plum-bers.

Now let's give credit where cre-dit is due. IfHawks had played allyear the way they played the sec-ond period of this game, I wouldwager that we would be close to theundefeated ranks this season. It'sbeyond me how we came outoftheperiod down yet another twopucks, giving the plumbers a 4-0bulge entering the third> For 19mi-

nutes and 45 seconds ofthat secondperiod the Hawks completely tookthe play to Waterloo, had numer-ous scoring chances, forecheckedmasterfully, and should have goneinto the third on even terms atworst. Now for those 15 seconds.Ten can be devoted to a 2 on 1Warrior break. Left side pass toright side, shot save McColeman,rebound score. The other five sec-onds? Hawks lose puck behindtheir net for umpteenth time thisseason, puck centred in front,whack, red light. There simply isno justice.

Dave Baker replaced McCole-man in net to start the third period,and one would have thought thatHawks would have been buoyedenoughby their second period per-formance to realize that they werestill in the game. But despite sev-eral flurries around the Warriornet, the Hawks mounted no semb-lance of their second period offen-sive and withonly minutes remain-ing found themselves down 7-0.

WLU did avert being shut outthough as they hit for two quickmarkers before Waterloo finishedoff the scoring. Our first goal was

scored by Billy Low on what hasbecome known as a "Billy Lowscoring play" where he burstsdown the left side and lets fly withasearing slapshotalong the ice to thefar corner. Which is exactly whathe did to bust Dupuis' goose egg.Low's tally was shortly followedby a goal from Billy Young, whoflicked a quick shot from the slotunder Dupuis' arm. But approp-riately the plumbers had the finalsay with a goal in the last minute;after all, the actions of their for-wards did the talkingfor the other59.

The contest was won by theplumbers because they did mostthings right for 60 minutes. Theymade the most oftheir chances for60, Hawks did not. They checkeddiligently for 60, Hawks did not.Theyexercised good housekeepingin theirt>wn end for 60, Hawks didnot.

Tip of the hat to Dupuis in theWarrior cage for a very steady per-formance, but then again in stop-ping 23 of 25 Hawks chances heshowed his annoying habit ofmak-ing easy saves look hard. Theplumbers directed 32 shots at theHawk net, 13 in the final period.

Despite the overwhelming ver-dict, optimism for the Hawk futurelies in the fact that they showedthey can dominate one of the bestteams in the league when they puttheir minds to it. Excellent perfor-mances were turned in by line-mates Bill Young and Dave Zmijawhile Brent Heard and RandyMeyers also showed a dogged de-termination throughout.

No one has to be told though thathockey is a team sport,and Hawksare simply not receiving the sup-port from their veterans needed tocarry the team to victory. Theylook like champions one minute,and the next minute, we11...

Hawks are home tonight againstthe high flying Guelph Gryphons.The league standings tell a prettygrim story, that being that we haveto startwinning against ourdivisionfoes ifwe are to have any chance inthe new year of making theplayoffs. If every player on ourteam can remember the secondperiod oflast week's game and canmultiply that effort by three, Iguarantee all systems will be go to-night for WLU. Game time is 8p.m.

InsightOut

This is the last Insight Out of 1975.I knew I could do it. I finally said something in this section that all

2500 of you wanted to hear.Since this is the last editorial before 1976, I thought I'd look back

overmy shoulder at 1975and see what the hilights were in universitysports. But as often happens when one looks over one's shoulder, onewishes one didn't. That's me. One wishing one didn't.

Because everyone knows what the hilight ofuniversity sport was. Itwasn't the Alberta Golden Bears winning the Canadian hockeychampionship, or the Waterloo Warriors winning the Canadian bas-ketball championship or the Ottawa Gee Gees winning the CanadianCollege Bowl championship.

It was the Windsor Lancers and one of theirmembers in particularchallenging the national body of.intercollegiatesport in Canada—anddoing it successfully.

No, this editorial is not about Dave Pickett, nor is it about hisWindsor Lancers nor about the Ottawa Gee Gees. Their timehas comeand gone. It is about the future of varsity-athletics in Canada, which,when we return in the new year may be as cheerful as finding out inApril you've got three exams in one day.

Because you see, in the next few weeks there are going to be somemeetings held. An OUAA and a CIAU meeting to be slightly morespecific.

Deal ingof course with making sure that the fiasco which happenedthis year doesn't happen again. Ever. Simple, yes. No.

These two meetings are going to look more like the fourth of Julythan the fourth of July. The way thingsare shaping up, there are moviepossibilities for these sessions. Maybe get Robert Redford in the star-ring role of Dave Pickett, both being box office attractions and all.

The slings and arrows at the OUAA meeting will come for tworeasons. Firstly, because quite a few governorsare furious at Windsor formaking a mockery of their emergency unanimous decision regard-ing playoff structure. And secondly, because the purpose ofthe meet-ing is to align the eligibility requirements of the OUAA with those ofthe CIAU, astheir letter of intentstated in September. The plot thickensbecause the University of Toronto has gone on record as statingthat itwill not support the move to the CIAU rules, and U of T insinuatedseveral others will support its stand at the meeting, which incidentlystarts next Monday.

What is brewing then is yourbasic provincial split, oras 11ike tocallit, The Split, Part One. Because there are definitely schools in thisprovince who will stick to their guns and support the move to nationalinterests. And if say WLU and Toronto can't play in the same politicalfield this year, there is no reason to believe they will meet on thefootball field next year.

The reason for this bitter OUAA controversy lies in part withthe factthat many of the governors are mere pawns of their institutions, notnecessarily acting in the best interest of university sport, but manipu-lated by the heads of their university.

Sure Toronto considers the Yates Cup important and thereforewould benefit by existing provincial rules, especially considering itsgrad school reputation. But what about their hockey team? Judaspriest, the Varsity Blues hockey team regards the provincial champ-ionship as a bothersome detourto the national crown. Would nottheybe better off with rules having national consistency?

Ah phooey, whyshould I try to rational ize any decision made by theOUAA governors. Can you imagine how Coach Knight felt at theemergency meeting last month when a governor held up proceedingsto ask for an explanation of what the Yates Cup was. Incredible.

One thing's for sure, you're going to need a program at the OUAAmeetings next week asnames, numbers and namecallerswill beflyingfast and furious.

Not that the CIAU meetingwill beany social tea either, consideringthe CIAU is an institution in name only. "Hey, you can't dothat, it saysso in our rules." "Too bad doormat, you're not incorporated so yourrules aren't worth gritties." "Oh, well, we'll fix that." And so themeeting.

The CIAU, regardless of what happens at its meeting, is in deep,deep, shape, because if the OUAArebels, the CIAU can incorporatethe British Commonwealth and still be left with nothing. Bluntly,without the OUAA, the CIAU can close shop. Ah hah, The Spl it, PartTwo.

There are other matters for the CIAU to discuss besides total incor-poration so itcan legal ly stand by what it preaches. El igibil ity,transfer-ring schools, what to do if the OUAA balks. And I tell you, Windsorofficials better come to the CIAU meetings dressed as paper weights.You don't get yourdrawers pulled down in TimesSquare and thenturnand congratulate the practical joker on his clever stunt.I have no idea what will emerge from the aftermath of these meet-ings. My own personal views are that a strong national body is only asstrong a's its member bodies are, so that if the OUAA fractures, theCIAU will not be far behind.

But sincethe OUAA sent a letter of intentto the CIAU saying that itwill move to national alignment, I think those statements from schoolssuch as U of T are mere sour grapes. As if Toronto changed its mindwhen it goteliminated fromCol lege Bowl competition, or because theCIAU was humiliated in court.

I'm taking the stand that yes, the OUAA should change its rules towhat will be legally binding national rules, so that we can erase thispast season and build a national unity among Canadian universities.

Whatever decisions are made in these upcoming meetings, I sin-cerely hope they are in the best interests of the varsity athletes inCanada, who deserve a time, a place and a league to showcase theirtalents without interference from administrative hassles.

So let's just hope the CIAU and the OUAA make some pretty goodNew Year's resolutions, just a little ahead of time.*

My last editorial of the year now history, your Santa Claus of Sportwould like to take this opportunity to wish the CIAU, the OUAA, andeveryone here at WLU a happy holiday. And bring 'er back ready tomake the new year your year. I know I'm going to.

NaismithClassic

Waterloo handles Hawksby Dan Russell

The way it looks now January 7promises to be more than justanother cold Wednesday. Thatnight Laurier's Hawks will host theUniversity of Waterloo Warriors.Feelings are already running highas the Hawks will attempt to eventheir "record with the reigning Na-tional champs.

The Hawks fell victim to U ofWin the s,econd roundofthe NaismithClassic last Saturday. However,oft times Laurier seemed to beplaying five men to seven as therefereeing was outrageously to theadvantage of Waterloo.

Consequently, Mark Christen-sen and Chuck Chambliss were infoul trouble in thefirst half, therebyforcing them to sit out a substantialpart of the game. -With Christensen on the benchthe task of guarding 6'B" centreJamie Russell fell to Peter Zwart.Unfortunately, Zwart was nomatchfor the National team centreas Russell went on to score 20points in the half.

Meanwhile, Laurier's own of-fense stumbled as the Hawks weregood on only 35% from the floor,while turning the,ball over 11 times.The Warriors on the other handconverted 55% of their attemptsfrom the field as they held a 56-38half time lead.

In the second halfwith Christen-sen and Chambliss rejoining Mac-rito, Schwartz and Levac, theHawks got off to a quick start.

The Hawk press caught themuch towering Warriors by sur-prise as Laurier converted stealsand forced the Waterloo squad intocontinual turnovers.

With five minutes to go in thecontest the Hawks trailed 77-75 butthey failed to convert three succes-sivepossessions and the pendulumswung back in Waterloo's favour.The Warriors scored quickly andwith three minutes left, the War-riors stretched their lead to 10points. Though the Hawks foughtback they could draw no closerthan seven points as U of Wfinished onthe bright side ofa 93-86score. .

Chambliss led all scorers with 34points while Russell notched 30 forUof W.

Earlier, WLU had edged theYork Yeomen 89-85. Laurier look-ing strong in thefirst halfopened upa 15 point lead as Gary Schwartzand Chuck Chambliss combinedfor 31 points.

But the Hawks let up in the sec-ond halfas York struggled back towithin a point late in the game.However, a late jumper by MikeCleary and Macrito's foul shot putthe game out of reach for theYeomen.

Chambliss counted 38 points be-fore he fouled out while MarkChristensen added 23.

Romeo Callegaroand Ed Siebertscored 27 and 22 points respec-tively forYork.

In other first round games

Acadia dumped Western 86-57,Guelph defeated Winnipeg 75-58and Waterloo downed Lakehead109-73.

In consolation play York lost toLakehead 87-74 while Winnipegovercame Western 64-59. Inconso-lation finals Winnipeg cloutedLakehead 86-57.

Meanwhile in the championshipround Acadia routed Guelph82-63and went on to meet Waterloo inthe final game.

Waterloo opened up an early 8-2lead as Acadia went into a 1-2-2zone defense. Given timeto set up,the Warriors went inside to, Russelland widened the lead to 11 pointswith five minutes left in the half.Russell and Briggs combined toscore from both the inside and out-side as they gave their team a 49-29half time lead.

Acadia came out of their zone inthe second half and played theWarriors a tighterman to man. Thisproved to be effective as the Axe-menplayed evenwith the host teamfor the duration ofthe contest. TheAxemen closed to within twelvepoints late in the match but by thenthe outcome was a foregone con-clusion. Final score U of W 82,Acadia 70.

Tournament all stars wereChuck Chambliss (WLU), PhilSchlote, (U of W), Bob Magel(Winnipeg), Alvin Jessamy(Acadia) and Jamie Russell (U ofW>. Russell also coppedMVP hon-ours.

pic by part"Fits pretty good", saysChuck Chambliss ofWLU while stuffing shotagainst Waterloo in Naismith Classic.Waterloo officials tooktimeoutfrom selling programs to register amazement at Chuck's heroics.Waterloo beat the Hawks 93-86.

V-ball loss

to Macby Dan Russell

In losingtwo matches toMac andWaterloo last Friday night thewomen's volleyball team resem-bled a soldier who had climbed outof one too many trenches.

True to form the Hawks startedslowly. Unfortunately it wasagainst the usually difficult Water-loo squad. The Athenas continuedtheir domination in league play asthey routed Laurier three straight,15-4, 15-11 and'ls-8. The Hawkscould not sustain an effective of-fense as poor setting led to incon-sistent spiking.

Meanwhile the defense was con-tinually beaten on tips and inade-quate coverage of blocked spikes.

In the second match the Hawksplayed decidedly better howevernot good enough. Once againLaurier lost three straight, 15-13,16-14 and 15-12. An improved de-

fensive performancekept all gamesclose but once again our offensewas hurt by poor sets.

The Hawks are now with theirbacks to the wall as they must de-feat Mac the next time out if theyhope to make the playoffs.

The Hawks next play at homeJanuary 13 when they host Mac andWaterloo.

Midseason Tamiae Hockey Statistics

Grapplingby Rick Campbell

The WLU wrestling team trottedup the streetfor ameetwithUofWon November 24 and despite thefact that they lost in total points,our guys turned in commendableperformances.

WLU's Dave Sweiger, who wasan outstanding high school wrestler

at Flesherton's Grey Highlands,won his match at the 167 poundlevel oyer Peter Muirhead ofWaterloo, 11-4.

Charlie Dingwall registered ourother victory in the 158pound classwith a win over U of W's Guy Mil-ton.

Mike Carnegie, JeffLymburnerand lan Witherspoon also wrestledwell in defeat, but two WLU grap-plers must be singled out for theiroutstanding performances, ironi-cally also in defeat.

Tom Litweller, in the 191 poundgroup, extended Waterloo's BobEmptage to the limit before bowingout 6-2 in a close and excitingmatch. Emptage gained a fast 2-0lead but was penalized for stalling,which" brought Tom to even terms.However, the Waterloo mangained four more quick points andthus emerged victorious.

The mostcompetitive matchwasin the 150 pound event where TomHodgsonofthe Warriors eeked outa 2-0 win over WLU's Dave Pear-

son. Both wrestlers showed excel-lent form and great promise.

Considering the lack of univer-sity experience the majority ofourteam has, all our wrestlers aredoing extremely well this season.Personally I was pleasantly sur-prised by the number ofguys on ourteam, an indication of future pos-sibilities at WLU for this skillfulintercollegiate sport. And, believeme fellas, I'm doing my best to fol-low your exploits.
