Sulliman sets aim on council seaf

Carl Sulliman, former vice president of the federation of students has announced he will run for alderman in the december 6 Waterloo municipal elections.

Amchifka blast ‘unnecessarf Over 600 hundred signatures Amchitka committee has organi-

zed a parade and teach-in. The parade will begin at Waterloo piaza, march north on King street to University ave. west on Uni- versity to the uniwat campus. Participants of the parade will meet outside in the arts quadrangle.

250 times the strength of the blast that leveled Hiroshima more than 25 years ago.

What will be some of the effects? The following arguments against

the blast seem to outweigh those in favour of it. Already, every living creature on this planet has measurable concentrations of cesium-137 and strontium-90 due to fallout from atomic weapon testing in the atmosphere-fallout which will continue for at least another generation. This will be sup- plemented by additional at- mospheric tests from developing nations.

known as the San Andreas fault, radiation leaks could cause some of the effects listed below. e It will add to the radiation burden of life on earth and in the ocean.

from local residents protesting the forth-coming Amchitka nuclear test were collected last Saturday October 30 at Westmount plaza. The anti-Amchitka movement has been organized by the en- vironmental studies students, the anti-Vietnam mobilization com- mittee, and pollution probe.

The signatures were part of a petition that read:

“We the undersigned do hereby request that the Canadian government further its protests to the government of the united states concerning ‘Amchitka nuclear testing’ on november 5th, 1971. Not only does this detonation pose a real threat to the environment, but it is a massive gesture at a time when the people of Canada and the United States are hungry for peace and are finding alternatives to nuclear testing.”

A telegram was sent to prime minister Trudeau and president Nixon on Sunday, October 31 on behalf of the 600 residents who signed the petition.

The ‘anti-Amchitka committee, with support from uniwat faculty and the president of the federation of students, is launching an ex- tensive campaign in protest of the Amchitka nuclI%r testing which is scheduled to take place this friday, november 5, Guy Fawkes day. A number of events have been scheduled to take place this Wednesday and thursday.

On november third, the anti- Vietnam mobilization committee will stage a rally at 1:OO in the arts quadrangle on uniwat campus. Guest speakers will be invited.

For thursday the fourth, the anti-

Students and workers alike are asked todemonstrate their rightful concern, against the “running-dog militarist and their bureaucratic lackeys”.

The following ‘facts’ about Amchitka were prepared by the students on environmental studies at uniwat.

On Wednesday October 27, the government of the USA announced to the world that they had ap- proved the testing of the ‘Cannikin’ nuclear test proposed for Am- chitka island on november fifth.

What does this mean? The atomic bomb to be tested, a

five megaton blast, will be the most powerful underground ex- plosion yet attempted and is about

Add to this the nuclear power network which is expected to exceed 500 nuclear-powered stations in the USA by the year 2666, each emitting small but ‘tolerable’ amounts of radioactive wastes directly into the en- vironment. No known safe disposable method exists for these wastes.

Because the blast appears to be in a geologically unstable area

Against Amchitka? The federation of students has called a general meeting to decide what

university of Waterloo students can do about the american nuclear blast on Amchitka island scheduled for this thursday.

The meeting will be tomorrow, Wednesday, at 3:30 pm in the campus center great hall.

In a statement to the chevron federation president Rick Page said the action was being taken because there are many people on campus who feel the blast should be stopped. Page said people are citing a great number of facts about destruction of life and danger to humanity which are being refuted by U.S. atomic energy commission officials.

“I can’t see carrying on this debate for any length of time without becoming bored and pissed-off by inaction,” said Page when announcing the meeting.

d Effects on aquatic organisms could lead to abnormalities, especially in the spinal cords of developing fish eggs. 9 Effects at lower levels may not show for several generations.

There are other possible con- sidera tions, both’ social and physical : e People are upset because this test is a hostile act in a time of rising ecological concern. o It is an insult to native island peoples who are resentful of having their interests considered second to those of the USA. o Political and technological developments make this test un- necessary. B Tidal waves and other poten- tially disas terous ramifications could result from the blast.

The executive branch of the US government now feels that a potentially disas terous nuclear war is neither necessary nor inevitable. Defence against war oriented thinking and action can be achieved without exposing the planet to the inherent problems of the Amchitka blast.

It would seem prudent, in the interest of safety, to assume that any amount of radiation will produce some measure of harm, both somatically and genetically until there is evidence to the contrary.

This is in fact the assumption on which all official radiation protection guides for the general public are based.

Sulliman, 25, has lived in Waterloo for five years.

He resigned recently from the federation executive stating student council was dealing not with relevant issues, but merely with “sandbox”--entertainment- events.

While vice president Sulliman was managing director of camp Columbia which this year received a 20,000 dollar federal grant; he was a member of the university act committee and was student representative on the board of governors. Last year he was co- founder of the Kitchener-Waterloo committee for Pakistan aid.

According to Sulliman university facilities should be used more by the general community on a shared basis. He mentioned theater and physical education facilities that might be used more regularly by community groups.

Lack of proper housing for senior citizens, the lack of public transit in the city’s poorly-planned suburban areas, lack of good roads and tenant-landlord review boards within the city are all issues which Sulliman states he would tackle as alderman. While with the federation, Sulliman dealt with tenant-landlord problems brought to the federation by students.

Sulliman said he would insist city council conduct more public hearings, especially in relation to rezoning land, and added that Waterloo should not be a city only for companies, but for people. He is opposed to a regional govern- ment study recommending ama- igamation of Waterloo with its sister city. Kitchener.

Currently studying political philosophy, Sulliman is also assist- ant minister at Emmanuel United church. He is married.

Both the mayoral and alder- manic election campaigns will get under way the week of november 22 after calling of nominations.

A complete review of candidates and issues will appear in the chevron in the following weeks.

Societies reacf againsf sex referendums This thursday the federation of

students is sponsoring a refreendum seeking approval or rejection of its standing policy not to grant money to groups having beauty contests or strippers.

Engineering society Engineering society spokesman

Davis Greene said even if the referendum is passed their ac- tivities will not be effected. He said that the upcoming miss engineering contest will be held off-campus. He was not concerned about the possibility of the federation withdrawing its financial support.

He said the wording of the policy is so vague that it could be applied, or not applied according to the whims of the federation. When tire policy was applied against an engineering stag last march, the society interpreted the action as a manifestation of former vice- president Carl Sulliman’s bias against engineers. He pointed out that the policy had not been enacted against go-go boys at a gay lib pub.

Env studies Steve Houghton, president of the

environmental studies society, could not give an opinion on behalf of his society because they had not

1 discussed it. His personal opinion was that the qualification at the end of the referendum, which says that the federation does not wish to restrict the dress or undress of any entertainers at the university, contradicts the body of the policy

which states the federation will not support groups who sponsor strip tease dancers or topless go-go dancers. He intends to vote against the policy. He also said that he understood that the policy was developed in a council meeting just for something to do, to see what the

reaction of students would be.

M&u sftific from bureaucmfs~nof sfucfenf body by Joan Waiters the chevron and radio Waterloo.” .the federation that radio Waterloo

facilities should be open for the use of non-federation members. The petition was signed by federation members only but it was made clear that a great deal of interest in the possibility of using the station’s facilities has been expressed by members of the Waterloo com- munity .

“to keep the station intact to any extent when there is no one present who can give advice to the newer members of the station and next to impossible to co-ordinate news, special programming and music shows without someone who has an overall picture bf the station programming.”

cancelled. 1 “Radio Waterloo functions and programming were decided at the meeting of radio Waterloo par- ticipants on October 27”, said McDermott.

Recent ctimplaints concerning campus media, specifically radio Waterloo, have originated with the

, federation hierarchy rather than the student body, according to radio Waterloo personnel.

“The majority of the criticism has come not from the average student but from the leaders of the organizations concerned,” said Fred Bunting of radio Waterloo in a brief submitted to the chevron sunday. Tom McDermott, also of radio Waterloo, agreed that there have been no complaints about the organization from uniwat students.

The brief, which was ac- companied by the letter below to federation president Rick Page from Gerry Wooton, technician and director of indian affairs for the station, outlined some of the views of radio Waterloo par- ticipants concerning the functions of the station.

Bunting expressed the’ opinion that there has been “too much personal vendettery and obsession with what I consider trivial facts in the majority of the situations . which lead to the massive resignations which we have seen to date. It seems to me”, he stated, “that to a large extent, things have come to a stand still as far as solving the question of what to do with the federation, the chevron

The question of what respon- sibility the university has to the twin-city community was also

‘raised in the brief. The major concern of the station was that a large number of students live off campus and are therefore mem- bers of the cotimunity, subject to the laws and regulations of the cities in which they live. Com- munity issues have an effect on the student population residing there and Bunting feels that radio Waterloo has a responsibility to ,those students as well as to the students living on campus.

“As far as radio Waterloo goes, there was a great deal of work and ‘effort put into building the station into what it is now and this in- cluded in the last year, our entry on to grand river cable; this made us available to parts of the com- munity which were not directly associated with the university”, said Bunting .

He feels that there are many issues common to the students on the campus and to the non- university members of the com- munity, and feels that it is im- portant not to isolate the university from the rest of the world.

The view that community participation should become an integral part of the station’s policy ,was expressed in the resolution to

Tom McDermott, programmer and advisor to the station, feels that the petition was an indication of a strong agreement from radio Waterloo staff with the policy but stressed that participation would be welcomed only if outside programming were done in the interests of the community and not for personal gain.

Donovan Meston, Waterloo mayor, is presently planning a public information program dealing with the workings of the city council. The Tempo theatre group, under the direction of Leo Burns, associate faculty member at the university of Waterloo, is interested in using radio Waterloo facilities for a series of radio

dramas drawing the cast from uniwat students.

Bunting, in his brief, stated that “Radio Waterloo has for the past few months existed without the

‘grace of an official station manager in any capacity. It has ,been increasingly hard”, he said,

Jerry Cook, accused in Wooton’s letter of claiming complete control *of the station’s functions, is, ac- cording to McDermott, playing god. “Cook is really nothing more than a signing officer”, said Mc- Dermott, “However, that situation will probably be rectified shortly because of the petition in which radio Waterloo staff demanded that he be removed from all of- ficial duties at the station.”

The money needed by the station to post an indemnity bond to grand river cable was approved by Rick Page when he was informed that the cable company had discon- tinued the carrying of radio Waterloo on the morning of October 29.

McDermott stated that there is no necessity for the meeting concerning radio Waterloo func- tions and programming scheduled for november 3 which was ad- vertised in last friday’s chevron. The advertisement yas placed by Cook and the meeting has been

Wooton’s letter to Page included a resolution demanding that an investigation be undertaken to determine the possibility of removing radio Waterloo from the financing of the federation and establishing the station as a society.

“As a society”, McDermott stated, “we could be a self run organization thereby being able to have an fm licence. We would not have to go through the hassles of debating a budget but would have one guaranteed. Also, we wouldn’t have to worry about losing- our budget by the whims and fancies of a few individuals.”

Bupting, on the future of radio Waterloo, stated “As to whether there is a need for radio Waterloo, 1 would ask the members of the federation council to read the ietter which is accompanying this article. !I am not suggesting that they should think about whether the station should exist, but rather that radio Waterloo does exist and lleeds the co-operation of the f’ederation to operate in any capacity.”

Further, the staff reaffirmed their sup- port for group management with three managers each responsible for day to day operations within specific segments of the station’s operations and major policy set by the staff as a whole. This is the way the station was operated during the summer and which experience indicates is the most effective form of operation. With these considerations in mind the staff adopted a resolution reading; x-

attended a meeting in the campus centre Wednesday October 27 at which time they adopted four resolutions which I have been asked to bring to your attention.

We the participants in radio Waterloo do hereby sdemand that Jeremy Cook remove/l from all official capacities with regards to radio Waterloo and that applications be accepted for the three positons of management (programme manager, tech and business manager and news and public affairs manager.)

As you may be aware, since the resignation of program manager Dave Gillick and news manager Doug Baer, the management of radio Waterloo programm- ing has, until recently, been continued by Fred Bunting and Helmut Epp on a de facto basis. However, the demise of the board of communications and the actions surrounding that event, have led t6’ con- flicts in regards to the management of radio Waterloo.

The Canadian radio television commi&ion requires that cable networks license in- dividually each channel they distribute. Although there is no presently existing legislation dealing specifically with radio channels carried exclusively on cable broadcasting equipment, such legislation is forthcoming and in the meantime the CRTC has asked cable companies to meet certain specific requirements:

Presumably on the basis of his position as signing officer for radio Waterloo, Jerry Cook has apparently claimed complete

Therefore the staff took the following +resolution and respectfully asks for prompt consideration : We the participants in radio Waterloo do hereby demand that the federation approve an expendi- ture from the radio Waterloo programming budget for an indemnity bond to grand river cable tv.

Betause the programming staff feels that community participation is necessary to the

‘fullfillment of radio Waterloo’s objectives as a communications facility in that it is neither possible nor desirable to separate the university from the community; because we feel that programming strictly for students by students is self-serving and counterproductive; and also because we

Radio Waterloo hopes to obtain an fm -licence in the near future. In order to qualify, radio Waterloo must be able to

,demonstrate some degree of operational ;and financial- stability. As well, a clearly defined line of responsibility for broadcast

‘material must exist within the context of the federation of students, with it’s lack of clearly defined objectives and internal instability.

Radio Waterloo will not likely be able to meet such requirements, and with this in mind, the staff adopted the following resolution :

We the participants in radio Waterloo hereby demand that investigations be undertaken to determine the possibility of removing radio Waterloo from the financing and control of the federation and establish radio Waterloo as a society.

We respectively request your immediate consideration on this matter as it seems to ‘be of considerable concern to the members of the federation who are involved in radio Waterloo and indeed to all who-have been concerned with radio Waterloo over the ‘past few months.

T.R. Baskins Candi.ce Bergen and Peter

Boyle, the co-stars of T.R.Baskin, come to us fresh from personal triumphs in Carnal Knowledge and .Joe, respectively. Although these three films deal with different strata of American society, they have in common a sensitivity to sociological nuance which con- trasts strongly with such traditional Hollywood faux pas as alloting luxury apartments to young “career girls” (all of whom could have been, or actually were, played by Doris Day).

Whatever its other faults, and these are numerous, .T.R.Baskin tries to tell it like it is: “T.R.” lives in a barely respectable neigh- bourhood of ‘Chicago, buys her clothes off the rack, and is dependent upon assorted male swingers for her nightlife.

While “T.R.” is a reasonably realistic urban secretary, Candice Bergen is not an even remotely realistic “T.R.” She’s ostensibly a small-town girl from Ohio, but her standard expression of cynical bemusement-and even her bulky sweaters and tweed skirts-seem to have been transposed directly from Carnal Knowledge, along with an ice-cold imperviousness reminiscent of her “Lakey” in The Group. When she is called upon to act, to display some af- fectual equivalent of internal stresses, the results are simply embarassing, as she seems totally

unaware of any emotional con- tinuum between the poles of self- control and hysteria.

If T.R.Baskin were uniformly terrible this wouldn’t be much of a tragedy, but since there are also many peripheral excellences of direction - and casting, her in- competence is both obvious and regrettable. Director Herbert Ross makes effective use of the Chicago settings, particularly when “T.R.‘s”’ entrance into .the ’ city becomes a gradually ascending cacaphony of urban noises and harassments. Ross is also very good at relating people to their “surround,” showing how the physical environment of “T .R.‘s” office becomes as oppressively stifling to its occupants as do the fascist “edifice complexes” in Bertolucci’s The Conformist.

The supporting cast delivers a number of fine characterizations, of which Marcia Rodd’s aging “swinging single” and Howard Pla t t’s super-mod businessman are extremely sharp-they had the preview audience rolling in the aisles on several occasions. James Caan has somewhat greater dif- ficulty with his “nice guy who turns out to be a heel” part,, but his one-night stand with “T .R .” passes quickly enough, and in any case seems to have been included only to get the film a “Recommended as Adult Entertainment” rating.

The major dramatic con- tribution, however, is made by

Peter Boyle’s “Jack Mitchell,” a middle-aged, lower.-echelon business executive who has a heart of pure corn underneath his white shirt and tie exterior. “Jack,” in town for a convention, meets “T$.” under the impression that she’s a call-girl. His subsequent confusion is funny at first,, but when he realizes the truth he makes a touching, deeply affecting effort to explain and justify himself. Bergen’s emotional frigidity, elsewhere so discon- certing, here becomes a perfect foil for Boyle’s muddled sincerity, and his performance raises T.R. ISaskin above the level of the slick, contemporary melodrama which it so often appears to be.

So: T.R.Baskin won’t be the ultimate cinematic experience of your life, but you might laugh a little, cry a little, and have a fairly decent time at it. I can’t recom- mend it whole-heartedly, but it does cut Carnal Knowledge-the overblown turkey of the year, in my opinion-and I certainly don’t begrudge the time I spent wat- thing it. T.R. Baskin could have been much better, but perhaps that’s an indication that it’s pretty good already.

Eggs fly? By now almost everyone must

have heard of egg throwing. Roughly a month ago two Canadians threw an egg 170 feet from one to the other and caught it without the egg breaking.

But, on October 29 two students of village 2,EE 125, Robert Pearce and Peter Mateer, stood on either side of Laurel Creek, one on the end roof of North house and one on the roof of East house.

At a given signal Mateer, in sweat suit and Adidas, hurled the snow-white sphere out and over the’ rippling surface of stagnant Laurel Creek.

Short seconds later Pearce stood on the roof, arms stretched out, awaiting the white ellipse.

For a second the judges, wit- nesse’s and onlookers were hushed. Pearce had lost sight of the egg. His keen eyes darted about and then one long, sure arm crept forth and when it returned all eyes were amazed to see a white object in Pearce’s hand. Judges and wit- nesses marched off the distance and found a staggering 264 feet. This established Pearce and Mateer as world record holders for this type of event.

Months of hard practice and rigorous discipline were required for the accomplishment of this feat. Anyone wishing$o try is more than welcome to.

If you would like help or offer hints contact Bob Pearce in EE 125, Village 2.

Its about time we and our artists investigated the dreams. We can not simply replace the old with a ‘new shiny model of the same old american dream. 1

There is, of course, no difference in being stoned in class and the older method enduring-daydre- aming.

Shebib fails because he does not try to discover the causes of this frustration or the reasons for the dreams’ existence in the first place.

Intertwined with the dream theme is the sexual frustration of

the leading characters. As is befitting virginal high

school boys rigidly separated from girls, they are involved in constant hope of being laid. That and nothing more.

In this perverted set of social relation the girls become ranked into a social order (a fucking or- der) based on their sexual desirability.

And it would seem from our brief glimpses of the feminine point of view the same thing happens on their side. Again Shebib fails because instead of pointing out the origins of this phenomenon in the insane social and family structure these young people have to endure he merely notes its existance.

Technecally Shebib is first class. The movie flows easily enough. The scenes are short and to the point. The actors are well in- structed. Perhaps for his next movie he will search harder for some good material.

White Trash saxophone, two other saxes, two trumpets, bass,. drum and Rick Derringer on guitar.

for verbal meaning.

Unlike Trash, Gang seems to have no feeling at all for its audience except as paying fans.

If there was any doubt about Trash’s authenticity as a great rock group after their recent album, that doubt was gone for Saturday’s crowd when Trash finished a thirty-minute version of “Tobacco Road.”

About halfway through the piece, the two elements spiraled together, battled one another, copied one. another and, after frenzied jousting, seperated again, exhausted.

James Gang consists only of a lead guitar, bass and drums, and ranks somewhere between Grand Funk and Led Zepplin in that genre of rock.

If it’s true that the highest praise a rock group can be given is to say that they sound black, then Edgar Winter’s White Trash deserve that compliment.

But that seems a condescending way to praise Winter’s group- actually, they have brought together the very best of in- novative white rock and its black roots.

Winter’s music-like his brother Johnny’s-makes no secret of the fact that it’s highly derivative; at times, you can close your eyes and almost see Sly Stone up on the stage instead of Winter’s all-white group.

But, again like Johnny-the similarities between the two is astounding, both physically and musically-Edgar stands free of his influences. to claim a spot as one of the most original and energetic performers in rock.

Saturday night at the Kitchener auditorium, Trash had a hard time getting the young crowd with it’s sound, but by the end of the frenetic set the listeners were on their feet and shouting for more.

Trash feeds very heavily off it’s listeners and off each other on stage; they constantly urge each other on to greater output, greater concentration, while at the same time demanding that the audience join in somehow-clapping, stomping, dancing, screaming.

Trash consists of Winter, doing vocals plus electric piano and

Derringer, who has developed into one of the finest and least repetitive electric guitarists around, first became known through his work opposite Johnny Winter last year with Johnny Winter And.

With Johnny reportedly sitting life out in a sanitarium and his group broken ’ up, Derringer is making an even more impressive contribution to Trash.

In fact, the only complaint I could find with Trash Saturday night was that Derringer’s guitar was often not turned up loud enough, to be heard above the horns.

But it is Edgar who makes Trash one of the best groups produced by rock music.

It has been said of many good musical artists that they have turned their voices into yet another instrument and intermingled it with the total sound.

It is impossible to say enough about Edgar Winter’s vocal, power : the comparison with Joplin is unavoidable. He holds nothing back from any performance, and your greatest’ fear-like when Joplin was on stage-is that his voice will finally crack on some high note and he will never be able to speak again.

Edgar possesses a high, scratchy, black-bluesy wail close to Johnny’s unmistakeable blues voice, and he uses it to transcend the limitations of words and need

Winter’s appearance on stage is moving-not quite with the same sort of bi-sexual sensuality that Johnny commands-but a little more solid, slightly less ephereal.

. “Road” is an old standard in rock-a minor classic-and a lot of groups trot it out to get in on the waning rock-n-roll revival. Trash can’t be acused of using the tune that way.

They took it and completely

It’s hard to imagine how Trash could be second-billed to anyone, but, sadly, that’s how it came out in the contract Saturday.

Grebel blinds The superb aerial attack of

Conrad grebel’s Blair Taylor confused, obliterated and blinded optometry’s .defensive unit in the flag footb&l final on thursday night, as they downed optomitry 35-13 to capture the Delahey trophy for the first time in their history.

It is interesting to note that Conrad grebel is the smallest competitive unit in the league with only 48 possible participants; while optometry only in its 3rd year in the league is the third smallest with 120 male participants.

Optometry opened the scoring at the 5 minute mark with a 7 yard pass to flanker Dave Passmore to go ahead 6-O. After several penalties and convert attempts, the score still remained 6-O.

Within 3% minutes Taylor connected with Ross Gerber on an end delay pattern of 8 yards for 6 points. The convert was good, 7-6 Conrad grebel.

Things looked bleak for op- tometry, but a fine defensive play with third and goal for Conrad grebel prevented a touchdown.

Optometry tied the score 7-7 at the 17:22 mark with a 24 yard punt.

Seventeen seconds later, Graham Griffith ran a shake

- pattern which connected for a 60 yard pass and run from Taylor to take a is-7 lead for Conrad grabel.

Two minutes later, another

bomb filled the air, this’time for 40 yards to flanker Rob Mathies to demoralize optometry 19-7 at the half.

Early in the second half an in- terception by optometry in the end zone stopped another Conrad grebel scoring possibility .

At 7 : 15 of the half, Taylor hit ,Graham Griffith on a 20 yard touchdown pass for his second of the game. The convert was missed. Five minutes later Rob Mathies scored his second of the night to gove Conrad grebel an un- surmountable 31-7 lead.

At this time -with less than 3 minutes remaining, optometry made a last ditch effort for respectabliity. On third and goal, Dave Passmore dropped a sure touchdown pass, but Conrad grebel was off-side 3rd and goal. Op- tometry scored to make it 31-13.

Another interception by op- tometry gave them a further scoring but Conrad grebel’s defense got tough and forced op- tomitry into two safety tackles late in the game. Final score Conrad 35 optometry 13.

An excellent game for the 200 fans who watched the final. Thanks to Joe Spineto, Referee-in-chief, and Les Parsneau, convener, for bringing the controversial flag football league and its new rules to a highly successful conclusion.

Bcfgbifters win rugger trophy

St. Jeromes retained the Brian Highfield memorial trophy for the second year in a row by downing a highly spirited village north seven 8-3 in rugger.

In the first 10 minute half, George Hogg of village north recovered the ball in the bagbit- ter’s endzone for a try and an early lead. However the convert was missed and north led 3-O at the end of the half.

A rejuvenated St. Jeromes seven aside quickly tied north in the second half with a 4 yard run for a try, by Larry O’Brecht. Rick Ciupa’s convert was successful and St. Jeromes led 5-3.

Later in the game, Larry

O’Brecht scored his second try with a recovery in north’s end zone to put the game on ice. Ciupa’s convert was missed.Final score St. Jeromes 8 village north 3. An excellent game by both teams.

It’s unfortunate that more students haven’t participated in seven aside rugger. Because of the lack of interest, the activity may be dropped as a competitive in- tramural program and simply be integrated into the activities of the rugger club.

Newly-acclaimed world champions, the chevron water- babies, have been issued a challenge from a no-account team calling themselves the ‘liquid luffers’. \

Steve McAlister gave the home squad the lead with an easy bounce shot that dribbled past the RMC’s goalie’s outstretched arms.

With the squad knowing they would be in for a hard battle, fresh men hit the water and warriors Mike McMillan quickly widened the score after only 33 seconds of the second quarter.

Before half time McMillan and- McAllister had scored again but RMC’s Don Kennedy had also driven home two hard shots from far out to keep the visitors in contention. The score at the half was 5-3 in Waterloo’s favor.

Jack Sterken who played an extremely rough game to the point of being tossed out on three oc- casions gave the warriors a 6-3 lead on a good relay shot from Cappy Pick.

Lutheran b-bailers f&e* win The basketballers from ‘down

the road’ jumped into an early league with a 100-86 exhibition win over the Italian junior college champions last thursday.

The smaller Italians made up for their lack in height with a tremendous jumping ability.

‘As the initial whistle sounded, the teams went into what appeared more to be a frantic pantomime than an exhibition of basketball by two former national champions.

In this manner the first quarter of the game saw a 24-24 tie.

The boring nature of the first few minutes did not diminish until both teams tired and were forced into playing s-ome semblance - of planned basketball.

The Splugen players accepted outside shots and proved effective while Desio Flabus controlled the boards.

Wuc soon caught on to the Italian strength and sent their tall men into the fray. Dave Lockart was one of these, and while pulling down the odd rebound looked out of place among the speedier players.

With two minutes remaining in the first half, wuc sustained a solid drive and achieved twelve unanswered points to outdistance

Ron Dean was outstanding for lutheran netting 29 points with Larry Danby collecting 18.

Desio Flabus fouled out of the game three minutes before the clock ran out with 24 points.

The Splugen ball players lasted until the final whistle but were a tired group as lutheran dropped the final basket to win 100-86.

Continuing their harrassment, the fans retired to the pub with shouts of ‘Giuseppe go-home’ to maintain the lutheran high school image.

The warrior hockey squad dumped the Lutheran golden hawks 6-4 in another poorly publicized game friday night at Waterloo arena.

The match began with the warriors looking really disorg- anized. Murry Child in nets was kept on his toes with the warriors being hemmed in most of the period.

Lutheran opened the scoring early on one of the many scram- bling goal mouth stands of the period. Roger Kropf began the warrior scoring on an outstanding breaking pass from Jim Morris at

Each team had eight shots on net with ‘a lot of lutheran nearshots being averted by tight defensive play.

The second period opened with replacement goalie Snoddy coming well out of the net to clear the puck and getting pasted by a charging . hawk.

Paleczny picked up the pass and gave it to Carr who put it in the net with the referee’s arm still in the air on the delayed penalty.

With the good guys short handed Greg Sephton broke up a lutheran rush and popped the platter past a perplexed hawk puck plucker.

May tied it up and Stinson closed off the second period scoring at 19:46 with Pete Paleczny grabbing the second of his three assists for the night.

The warriors looked a lot more together in the second period with Phil Branston doing extra duty filling defensive gaps.

The play was still very scrambly with defensemen doing a lot of rushing and taking too long to start backchecking. Forwards weren’t covering up well on these rushes giving lutheran numerous 3 on 1 and 2 on 1 breaks.

Both the first and second periods were clogged with penalties with the warriors grabbing 7 and the hawks 10. The hawks were outshot 19-16 in the new improved second period.

Lutheran tied the game early in the period --with four warriors and one hawk piled in the crease and the third period goaltender (where are our ‘you can’t tell the players without a program’ programs? > having no chance on the play.

In no time at all the red baron, Dave Simpson, sporting the red- dest nose in town, slammed home the winner. Seconds later Jimmy Morris put it on ice with an unassisted effort.

The game ended with a stand-up brawl between ex-warrior Bill Hogan and rookie Stinson to round off the penalties with a game toll of 21 offences. The hawks were outshot 44-35. Coach McKillop’s first line of Kropf, Simpson and Morris looked good, accounting for one half the warriors scoring.

A revoIutionury Excerpts from a speech by Richard Thompson to the cross-Canada socialist education conference held on this campus in August.

The emergence of a mass student movement is one of the new features of the present radicalization. In the past students have engaged in revolutionary activity, as they did in the thirties and at the time of the Russian Revolution. But the objective conditions have never before existed for a student movement which could by itself become a major factor in the developing world revolution.

It is the response to this challenge that has, among other things, distinguished the Trotskyist movement in Canada from the Ir Communist Party (CP) among others. DespiteJ its claims to the revolutionary heritage of Lenin and the Bolsheviks the CP has responded to the radicalization of students only when it had no other choice. In fact, the Stafinists do not even recognize the student movement. Their youth movement, when it has existed at all, has been oriented. almost exclusively to young workers.

The student movement has its deepest roots in the rise of the world revolution. It was first shaped by the actions of students in defending the struggles of oppressed peoples around the world. French students were in the forefront in defense of the Algerian revolution. The student movement in the U.S. began with the defense of the rising black struggles and defense of the Vietnamese’s right to self-determination. In Canada students have been in the forefront of the defense movement for Quebecois political prisoners. In short, the student movement has been built on the most solid foundation possible:. a genuine internationalism based on action.

The struggles of students against their own oppression is inextricably linked up with student support for the struggles of other oppressed groups. A success in one part of the world or in one movement is bound to be taken up elsewhere. The radicalization is extremely infectious.

University explosion

The present mass student movement has its roots in the university explosion which followed WWII. Clark Kerr, former president of the University of California, has compared the expansion of education in the past two decades to the growth of the railways at the turn of the century. In the past ten years alone the number of students at the University of Toronto has doubled.

This has produced a fundamental change for students at every level of the educational system. Education has become a mass, bureaucratic industry, and the oppression of students-&who are being trained as skilled workers-has changed qualitatively to produce a powder keg.

The universities and schools are second only to the family in the systematic oppression of youth on

itrutegy for Canadian students which capitalist wage slavery depends. The policy of in loco parentis is designed by the School Boards and Boards of Governors to make the schools a “home away from home”. Those who rebel are subject to double jeopardy: from the courts and then the school administrations.

Education is based on regulated competition between students which pits them against each other in a struggle for survival. In the process there is a numbing of intellect fostered by multiple choice exams and the practices of cramming and memorizing. A study done of a first year economics class showed that after only six months the average rate of retention of material in the course was a mere two percent.

As well as the oppression that exists within the schools most

students are forced to remain dependent on their families. The prospects after finishing school are no better. Unemployment among youth is more than double that of the population as a whole. For young Quebecois and women it is much higher. Added to this, only a fraction of those who get jobs find work in which they can use their knowledge and skills.

As revolutionary socialists we know that only the working class can make the socialist revolution. Our work in the student movement and in other mass movements is based on our confidence that the radicalization will continue to deepen and will be ex- tended to\the working class. Many of the-lessons which will be learned in building the student movement will lay the groundwork for building the mass struggles of workers when they

come.

‘The NDP

The main Iink.between the student movement and the working class in Canada is the New Democratic Party. The new radicalization is reflected in the NDP in the growth of its mass, organized left wing, the Waffle. It is in the NDP that a student-worker alliance, in the true sense of the term, will be built.

The mass demonstrations against Bill 63 in Quebec and the May-June events in France in 1968 have shown that in the absence of revolutionary leadership of the working class the militant tactics of the student movement and its audacity in struggle can inspire workers, especially young workers, and bring

‘them into action. Our strategy for the student

movement has been developed out of the experience of student struggles both internationally and in Canada.

The main experience of the’student movement in’ Canada before 1969 was the Canadian Union of Students (CUS) and its counterpart in Quebec I’lJnion Generale des Etudiants de Quebec, (UGEQ). CUS reflected the growing radicalization of students and it took up the demands for in- creasing student rights, winning some measure of control in the

\ university and opposing imperialist aggression in Vietnam.

During the years of CUS the first wave of student struggles occurred. In these first struggles were stamped the characteristics of the new up- surge that occurred this spring. Most of them involved demands that defended and extended student rights, for example, over 1,200 students in Regina demanded “Tax Potash, Not Students” in the demonstration to end student loan restrictions.

The new left didn’t have a long view of history. In the Qeriod of its ascendency (before the. decline of CUS) there were numerous theories about revolution which ignored the. working class.

Before the May-June events in France the myth was prevelant that the working class in the imperialist countries had permanently fallen asleep, bought off by the super- profits reaped in the colonial coun- tries and held spell-bound by the labor bureaucrats. For every new group of oppressed people who entered the radicalization there appeared theories about them being the vanguard, or even the class, that would be able to lead a successful revolution. There were theories about women as a class with the emergence of the feminist movement, youth as a class and so on.

This shortsightedness occurred because the new left lacked revolutionary traditions. It had no link with previous class struggles and it lacked revolutionary theory. As the radicalization continued to deepen many of the early new left student activists and feminists turned their backs on these movements altogether.

With the decline and collapse of CUS many new leftists abandoned the campuses. The Student Union for Peace Action (SUPA), the only cross- country new left organization, came to an ignominious end at about the same time. In the files of SUPA it was revealed that a section of the elitist leadership had carried on correspondence with the Liberal Party hierarchy which had led to the establishment of the Company of Young Canadians.

Many of the new leftists who did not abandon socialist ideas entirely joined the sectarian grouplets which have by-and-large abandoned the campus and rejected the revolutionary potential of the student movement. A handful came over to the program ’ of revolutionary socialism.

Between the collapse of CUS and the upsurge of this spring there was a drop in the level of student struggles. There were some struggles, such as the successful day care occupation at the University of Toronto, but for the most part it was a matter of attempts by student councils to win piecemeal reforms from the bureaucratic ad- ministrations.

War Measures Act

It was in the aftermath of the War Measures Act and the October crisis early this spring that the most massive upsurge of students in

English Canada so far occurred. These struggles, in universities and

.high schools from Victoria to An- tigonish, Nova Scotia were a striking verification of the correctness of the analysis of the stage of the student movement at the Young Socialist, Ligue des Jeunes Socialists Con- vention last Christmas. At that time we said that the lull in the student movement was temporary; that the radicalization of students was con- tinuing to deepen and that the ruling class’ attempts to streamline and reform the universities would only deepen the contradictions.

One of the most immediate causes of the upsurge has been the continual cutbacks in education spending caused by the economic crisis of capitalism.

The radicalization is continuing to deepen and extending into the junior high and public schools. The new left failed abysmally when it took the leadership of the student movement. This situation presents a big challenge to. revolutionaries: to lead the movement forward.

We are in the midst of a massive radicalization. Most students are not revolutionaries but they are un- dertaking struggles for partial demands against the administration and acting en masse. Therefore, the student movement needs a tran- sitional program which can lead the struggle forward.

The main demand must be for student-faculty-staff control of the schools and campuses: democratic control of these institutions by those who use them. Universities should be turned over to support the struggles of oppressed groups, to build the anti-war movement and to be used as organizing centers for student struggles against the administration.

Mass Movements

The student movement must be totally independent of the ad- ministrations. This is the strength of

all of the mass movements in this radicalization and guarantees them a chance of success because they are. able to develop freely.

The slogan of student participation in university governing bodies must be rejected. The student movement should make concrete demands from the administration and other authorities. Students should, not take responsibility for decisions made by the big business dominated ad- ministrations. All the committees in which students are involved should conduct their work openly.

The student movement must also be built as the militant wing of the broader mass movements. Sentiment against the war and Canadian complicity in it is extensive. Over seventy percent of university students support the right of self- . determination for Quebec and there is massive sentiment in favor of repealing the abortion laws.

In order to be effective this sen- timent must be organized. The student wing of the mass movements can be strengthened by demanding that the schools and campuses be turned over for use as organizing centers for these movements. By building a mass base for these movements on the campuses and high schools the struggle of students around demands for control of their lives and educations will be strengthened.

We are building the YS as a revolutionary student organization: a training ground for Trotskyism and as the leadership of the student movement. The YS was formed in the early stages of the world-wide radicalization of youth. We are in and of the student movement.

We are the revolutionary socialists on the campuses and in the high schools, spreading the ideas of socialism and building student struggles. The growth of the YS in the past year and spring upsurge in English Canada are only a harbinger of things to come.
