A t a hearin g called b y acom m itteewhich the Black Students declared incompetent to judge the case, it was made crystal clear to all honest people that the entire proceedings w ere irregu lar, to say the least.

The students successfully argued that, in the setting up of the original committee, the principle was established that all members of the hear­ing committee must be agreeab le to all the parties concerned. This principle received significant endorsem ent when the students objected to the naming of Professor Abbot to the orig inal committee and HE WAS PROMPTLY REPLACED.

W hen Professors M arsden, Bayne and Davis voluntarily resigned because of conflict of interests, " in te r a lia " , the Black Students, in letters to the Acting Principal, suggested replacem ents in accordance with the established precedent. The Acting Principal did not even acknowledge receipt of the two letters. Instead, a new committee was set up on a take-it-or-leave-it basis. Surely no self-respecting human being could accept such an open and callous breach of faith. The Black

Students a re self-respecting men!It might be instructive to add, at this point, that counsel for Professor

Anderson was m ore than ready to accept this com m ittee and its deci­sion. W e leave you to speculate on the reasons.

It is rather unfortunate that Sir G eo rg e has elected to act in this fashion which can only be described a sarb itra ry and irregu lar. Should this travesty of justice continue, the University could very w ell find

itself the centre of an international storm which can hardly do her any good. Let us not forget that these students a re not stateless persons, and in due course they w ill be heading governm ents with which C a­nada w ill have to deal. Inane, racist, and short-sighted outbursts such as "send them back" could have serious repercussions, since Canadians and C anadian exploitative capital can also "besentback". Fortunately for all concerned, only the empty of head mouth such nonsense.

It is not too late for Sir G eo rg e to come to its senses and recognize that the "Anderson A ffa ir"a n d problem saris ingfrom it cannot be seen in terms of Black vs W hite. Rather they must be regarded in the con­text of Justice vs Injustice, Right vs W rong. In any event just people

shall continue to view them inthis m anner. As a start in this direction, the University w ill be w ell advised to re fer to the BLACK STUDENTS' STATEMENT O F PO SITIO N read and distributed on the day of the Kangaroo hearing.

This issue of THE G E O R G IA N has been prepared by members of the Black Students' Association in conjunction with the staff of THE GEOR­G IA N .

It is our feeling that the proceedures established by the University to dea l with the charge of racism broughtagainst Professor Anderson, a re totally unacceptable. The university has unila tera lly decided upon the composition of the "official" hearing committee and has blatantly igno­red the wishes of black students as to how the hearings w ere to be conducted.

The only inform ation ava ilab le to the student body of Sir G eorge has been provided by the com m ercial press and by the university adm inis­tration through its slanted press releases.

This being the case, w e feel that the black students have the right to inform the university populace of their side of the story and of the disgraceful tactics being em ployed by the university in dealing with the Anderson affair. W e asked them to collaborate with us in the production of this issue of T H E G E O R G IA N and they agreed. It must be understood that this decision had nothing to do with the question of Anderson's being guilty or notguilty.This, in a w a y , has become a secondary issue. The university's handling of the affa ir is what has infuriated us.

If W e Must Die

If we m ust die, let i t not be like hogs H unted and penned in an inglorious spot,While round us bark the m ad and hungry dogs, M aking their mock a t our accursed lot.If we m ust die, O let us nobly die,So th a t our precious blood m ay not be shed In vain; then even the m onsters we defy Shall be constrained to honour us though dead!O kinsmen! we m ust m eet the common foe!Though far outnum bered let us show us brave,And for their thousand blows deal one deathblow! W hat though before us lies the open grave?Like men we’ll face the m urderous, cowardly pack, Pressed to the wall, dying, b u t fighting back!

Claude McKay

We tell you th a t we are homeless So you offer us the jail.We tell you th a t we won’t have your gestapo ju s t read us the riot-act.We tell you th a t we are starvingSo you send us some candy and popcornB ut th a t won’t do, boss m an, not anymore it won’t.We tell you th a t our ghettos stink So you p lan t some trees in the ruins.We tell you th a t our children are deprived So Hubie takes them for a plane ride.We tell you th a t our schools are disasters So you build some more of the same.B ut th a t won’t do, boss m an, not anymore it won’t.Jails and riot-acts we’ve hadFor hundreds of years, and candyAnd popcorn are for children. The treesYou can stick up your ass if you can,And rides and slum schools a in ’t w hat we need.T h a t won’t do anymore, boss m an, not anymore won’t.

T h e n a t u r e o f o u r s t r u g g l e . . .Marcus Garvey always asserted that as a Black Man he would

disregard all national boundaries to make contact .with Africans every­where. The struggle fo r Black liberation is an international struggle. Our people are being suppressed everywhere because they are Black.

Over the past three decades we have seen the evidence of an inde- penaent African continent. In the Political sense, we have seen the gigantic struggle being waged by Afro-American^ against white racism and mono­poly Capitalism. We have seen the upsurge of Black people in England, we have seen the rise of the West Indian independence movement and the de­generation of that movement, we have seen during recent times the emer­gence of Black consciousness right here in Trudeau's JU S T SO CIETY. Without attempting to analyse these events we can say that Black people are moving and moving fast.

As a people we have been subjected to the most brutalising conditions of rue and the most severe 'psychological strains that any section of humanity has experienced, past and present. Black people in this epoch of history have been subjected to sudden changesjjv the ir social and mate­rial conditions of life that have resuited in what Brother Franz Fanon called the “ Colonial personality” . Knowledge of our African heritage, we have none; a notion of our historic development, we are vague: a com­prehension of where we are and what we want, we are not yet clear. Such is the result of a type of cultural subjection which arose from the material subsoil of the capitalist epoch. It is the result of an historic development having its roots in the era of slavery. It is no accident that the policy and practice of racism arose side by side w ith the birth of large scale indus­trial capitalism. Racism is a product and not a cause of capitalist develop­ment. By waging war against racism in all its m anifold aspects Black people are at the same time by necessity waging war against a system that has sought to suppress the human resources of all people. Our role must be two-fold to figh t against racism and capitalism.

On this North American continent the white oppressor 'has always been in total control over all judgements on the Black Man’s role and sta­tus in society, his intellectual capacity, his moral and cultural preoccupa­tions. his role in history and his ancestral past th iis ordering not merely the external circumstances o f his life, but also the very way in which his victim has seen the world and his people. In the face of this totdl stranglehold, {he task of self-liberation involved much more than freedom from economic and social oppression. Realliberation can only come from the total liberation of the minds and spirits of our people from the false and distorted image of ourselves which centuries of cultural enslavement

by the white man have imposed upon us. Our struggle therefore does not just involve liberation from economic exploitation. Our struggle is a question of our survival as a people determined to make our contri­bution to human welfare. It is a call fo r us to re-examine the foundations of the white man-’s one-sided version of the world and 'to restore to our­selves an image of the achievements of our people, hitherto suppressed and abandoned among the rubble of history’s events. This new image is in effect an essential precondition to our liberation from the yoke of white power to the building of a new level of Black consensus or Black Power.

Canada makes a positive’ contribution towards the maintenance of Anglo-Saxon racist dominance in the world. Canada is completely con­trolled economically, politically and' m ilita rily by the United States. The white Canadian perceives a Black man in the very same light as the white American. After helping and in effect spearheading the drive to expel South Africa from the “ Colonial Club” called the British Commonwealth of Nations. Canada continues to trade wholesale with a puppet, fascist regime that is positively engaged in the most vicious acts of genocide against 9,000.000 Black people. We need not elaborate on Canada’s politico- m ilitary ties with Portugal and tha t country ’s engagement in acts of ■outright annihilation against bur brothers and sisters.engaged in a struggle fo r survival in Angola, Mozambique. Portuguese Guinea, etc. The entire system of education in Canada from coast to coast continues to portray the Black man as an inferior being. Our people in Halifax are completely colonized. Any society that is ruled by laws which permit human beings to be harassed and dehumanized by the police because they are Black needs to be re-examined very seriously, because the consequences of such political victim ization can only be fatal, foe all concerned.-In Canada

■ we need a fundamental re-evaluation and comprehensive examination of the social structure of this country on all levels. The type pf examination that will enable us to develop together a positive and realistic approach to the elim ination of exploitation, prejudice and bigotry from this society. Such an examination would be a necessary precondition for the development of a free and just society -r a society in which-the development of each will be the precondition for the free development of all.

BLACKBlack is those handsome Brothers

Swinging down the hall.

Black is tlie soft spoken sisters,

A lways on the ball.

Black is the courage to stand up and fight,

To answer when destiny calls.

Black is to be proud and show it

N e v e r begging when Blackness can do it.

Black is also the bomb and the gun,

W hen it's tim e to do or be done.

Black is w hatever you make it

Though for some it is newly begun.

Black is the color of a new dawn,

That w ill make the white sun stand back.

And stare in despair and wonder,

At the beauty of light that is Black.

Paul.

D irector of N ew s

CFC F T e le v is io n -12

Mr. Cannings!

I would like to rem ark on your com­m entary made the n ight of December 24th, 1968, in which you suggested, tha t, “ should those black students who have accused Professor Anderson of p ractis­ing racial discrim ination fail to establish a case, or rather, fail to have him Proven guilty, they should be deported from the country” ;

M r. C annings! In su g g e s tin g th is , you hav e show n y o u r s e lf to b e o f d ece iv in g ly i r r a t io n a l in te l le c t and d im in u tiv e s t a ­tu r e . " D e c e iv in g ly ” , b e c a u se a f te r hav in g h e a rd p re v io u s c o m m e n ta r ie s on c o n tro ­v e r s i a l i s s u e s f ro m you , I had so m ew h a t g ru d g in g ly a d m itte d to m y se lf , th a t fo r a w h ite m an , you d id a p p e a r m o re r e a l i s t i c , and m o re im p a r t ia l th an is com m on am ong th o se o f y o u r r a c e in d ig en o u s to th e c o n ti­n e n t o f N o rth A m e r ic a . I h av e , e q u a lly a s g ru d g in g ly , a d m itte d to m y se lf th a t I w as w ro n g - I am n o t u su a lly w ro n g in c h a ra c ­t e r a s s e s s m e n t .

Mr. Cannings, I would like to feel tha t, were I in your position, I would make a resolute effort to elevate and broaden m y mind; cleanse i t thoroughly of belit­tling prejudices and hypocritical condi­tionings; infuse it copiously w ith ele­m ents necessary to induce understand ­ing, im partia lity and tolerance. I would use m y “gift of gab” as a tool with which to elim inate conceited insularity - not to prom ote it! A pathy would be my foe; I would talk of “ Reciprocity” and “ Interdependence” - Say to my un ­enlightened listeners: We need new re­sources and cheap labour. We need to have bauxite to support our “ booming" alum inum industry. Our banking industry needs space in which to expand. Our accum ulated capital needs new areas for investm ent, such as hotel industries.

Our ships need new ports for trading. It is through such ventures like these th a t the affluence of which our society boasts, comes to us. A ctually, we exist in a m utual state of “ Interdepen­dence” . We give, b u t we also take. It so happens th a t we are in an advantageous position, in th a t we do, as protagonists, take considerably more than we give.

Consequently, we m ust be sure when we sit smug, preening ourselves in the m ir­ror of benevolence, th a t rather than being charitable, we m ay be b u t merely fulfilling our share in the bargain or, perhaps, more accurately, refunding a sm all portion of the wealth we have disproportionately appropriated.

I can see your lillipu tian’s stature guiver and crum ble under the weight of such tru ths. I challenge you to deny the au then tic ity of my analogy! Would you dare explode another great white C ana­dian m yth, Mr. Cannings? Could you avoid slipping on the slime of treachery w ith which your forefathers foully s ta in ­ed the entire world in their dealings w ith non-white races? The same treache­ry through which they gained even the continent where you now stand and as­sume the au tho rity to recom m end depor­tation , in a neurotic spasm of extrem ­ism?

There is nothing unique or original abou t your type, Mr. Cannings. Black people have encountered obstacles of your creation throughout their history. We have survived raping, skinning, lynching, castration , burning -- our children disemboweled from their m other’s womb. We have faced this victim ization, degradation, and de-hu­m anization w ithout justice, a t your hands, Do you th ink th a t mere th rea t of deporta­tion and bigoted a ttem p ts a t in tim idation could deter us now from seeking and/or dem anding justice? Were our positions reversed, Mr. Cannings, would you be deterred?

I am a black m an , full grown, bearded, w ith wife and child. I have passed the stage where one perm its oneself the d ream er’s paradise of fantasy. In fact, I dared not ta rry by th a t stage. To me, fantasy was a luxury my race could ill afford. In other words, Mr. Cannings, I am a stark-raving-realist! I am a “jun ior” im m igran t to th is country -- “jun ior” , because I do not w an t to steal any one’s “buffalo” . I would readily ad m it th a t you are a “ senior” im ­m igrant. But, we all are im m igrants -- aren’t we, Mr. Cannings?

I would also like to establish , th a t I consider myself qualified to speak out and a t, sim ply by virtue of the fact th a t in previous years and currently, my money has been thrown into the pool, from which the subsidies th a t perm it such in stitu tions as Sir George W illiams University to continue functioning, are dipped. W hen m y dollars are p u t into th a t pool, no discrim ination is involved. They are not smeared w ith black to iden­tify them . They are ju s t m uch-w anted dollars like any white m an’s. I speak as a financially sound m em ber of th is com­m unity a t large. I speak also as one of the thousands which form a com m unity w ithin the com m unity -- a com m unity th a t you and your contem poraries

respectfully refer to (when you do refer) as the Black Com m unity of Quebec.

Your people, Mr. Cannings, over the ages have not done a very thorough job of conditioning.. I would adm it, th a t a t one extrem e you have created a fear-ridden,

, recessive lackey; b u t a t the other, you have produced a dom inant, determ ined and striving force. In th a t fan tastic mode of evaluation peculiar to white N orth Americans, you seem to have derived more comfort from having the fear-rid­den and recessive lackey, who hates you nonetheless, b u t as a coward does -- who would sooner or later, in a paroxysm of paranoiac anger, rise up and destroy you. On the other hand, you a tte m p t to suppress and harass the m an who only insists on speaking to you a t your own level, and who in any case, is of a spirit th a t you cannot suppress.

However, Mr. Cannings, even in the face of all the varied undercurrents of dom estic d istrust, I am consoled by the knowledge th a t yet, there are hundreds of black people in Quebec who th ink as I do, and who are suffused w ith the de­term ination to speak ou t and at. I t is those like me who invite these young black s tuden ts to speak the ir “piece” , w ithout fear, for they are those who herald a Black Wind of Change -- A resorgimento of black pride and achieve­m ent. We condem n you and your kind for your vicious acts of intim idation . We deplore your bigotry and clum sy bungl­ing.

Usually, the news m edia are quick to condem n some university professors for their smug, egotistic a ttitu d es and their projected air of superiority. Suddenly, you make a reverse, and insinuate their transcension into realm s of superhum an­ism. Be real, Mr. Cannings! Your pro­fessors are usually the product of your society, and have been exposed to some indelible conditionings as the “m an on the street” , and in m any instances will respond in sim ilar m anner. We usually assum e th a t because professors have been exposed to m axim um education, they become transform ed into paragons of virtue and models of rationality . We also assume th a t because they have re­ceived such symbols of educational as­cension, as B.A.’s, M .A.’s and Ph.D ’s, th a t they au tom atically become excel­len t teachers. You and I know th a t this is not invariably so. Professors come in “assorted sizes” , and there are usual­ly a few “ little” ones who somehow become interm ingled w ith the others. It is the “ little” ones who usually create the problem s which culture poor stu- den t-faculty relationship.

The “ system ” contrives to em asculate its professors. It inhibits the ir develop­m ent of personal in tegrity and blackm ails their dedication. You see, Mr. Cannings, professors are hum anly concerned about “renewal of their contracts, and , whether they are liked or disliked by those who have the au to rity to renew th is contract.

“ Tensure” is dangled before them and m ade to appear elusive. Insinuation is made through th is th a t their probational period is assessed more by so-called “good behaviour” than by teaching ability.

They are forced to adopt recessive a ttitudes. In an effort to im ­press their bosses, who live continuous­ly in fear of studen t revolt, th a t they are m aintain ing the “ sta tus quo” , some professors become very inflexible, acu te­ly d ic tatoria l and sometim es downright unfair. They com m it injustices, secure in the knowledge th a t they are protected by a frustratingly im penetrable web of ultra- archaic bureaucracy which seems trad i­tional of N orth American colleges, not excluding C anada’s. Even after the “ tenure drive” would have been satisfied, some professors become hab ituated to

the pleasure of unim peded power. They become the disciples of conservatism -- they become aloof and stuffed with self­deification -- Intractible! Unreachable!

On the other hand, Mr. Cannings, those professors who would m aintain their in­dividual integrity, rid themselves of fan­tasy, establish im partial rapport with their students, teach w ithout pomp of vanity, and retain flexible and open m inds, are dubbed “unconventional” or “rebellious” , and are quietly weeded out a t the tim e when their contracts come up for renewal. The s ta tus quo is m ain ta in­ed!

So you see, Mr. Cannings, how very earth ly an atm osphere hangs over a Uni­versity. Why, then, do you find it so dif­ficult to accept th a t racial discrim ina­tion also exist here?

Mr. Cannings, may I ask you a few questions? I am aware th a t some of them m ight appear, irrelevant to the specific issue on hand. In fact, my critique on a whole does not always relate directly to the issue. It was not fully intended to do so. I would prefer to have my criticisrps considered relevant to a fundam entally im m ature m anner of thinking, typical of white Canada--a thinking which spawns such despicable a ttitudes as yours. You all seem basically insular and naive in your mode of reflection. You appear igno­ran t of the foreign politics of your coun­try, and of those facets of Economics em braced by it, which account for a large portion of your in ternal affluence. W ith the selfishness peculiar to the im m ature, you too readily assume th a t your genero­sity is not retroactive. Through ignoran­ce, you are quick to ridicule and relegate non-whites to the s ta tus of scroungers or parasites grovelling on their knees before your charity. Misconceived ideas of your independence from other people predisposes you to bigoted thoughts th a t you can be vindictive, w ithout repercus­sions. I t is fortunate for your country, Mr. Cannings, th a t in general, your poli­ticians are more conscious of the im por­tance of culturing cordial foreign relation­ships, relevant to the sustenance, finan­cial and otherwise, of a “ system ” which is dependent on an elem ent of “bilateral parasitism ” for its existence and conti­nued affluence. In th is ’ light, I am sure th a t very few of your local politicians, and certainly none of your national leaders would take your suggestion quite serious­ly-

Are you aware, Mr. Cannings, th a t there are thousands of C anadians work­ing, living, and prospering in countries outside C anada, where there is a majority black population and government - and th a t these C anadians go about their varied affairs w ithout a whisper of harassm ent, intim idation, or even a suspicion of being discrim inated against?

Before you decided to make such a m a­licious suggestion--Did you by any chance interview any of the black students invol­ved, ju s t to see whether they had justifia­ble grounds for accusation? H aven’t you wondered why, of all the m any professors a t Sir George W illiams University, who teach black students, this one Professor Anderson was accused?

Did you make any forceful suggestion, if perchange this professor was found guilty? W hat would you suggest in this case?

Are you fully versed on the concepts which the term “ University” suggests?

Do you agree, th a t some news commen­tators, rather than analizing item s of news in an objective and realistic m an­ner, tend instead to try supplanting their own prejudiced opinions in the sometimes im partial m inds of their listeners?

I am angry a t the thought, th a t the effort from m any hours of gruelling prepara­tion, the endurance of discomfort caused by involuntary anxiety, loss of rest and

Continued from page ninerecreation--all these energy-depleting sa­crifices would be nullified, sim ply by having some creature who fears, hates or envies the colour w ith which nature inno­cently painted somebody’s skin, m ark an otherwise insignificant letter, “D” , or “ F” , on the “fru its of their labour” . M aybe, this m ight be trivial to you, Mr. Cannings, b u t to me it calls for most d ras­tic retaliation.

The thought th a t th is same creature could with true white sadism reduce young black male studen ts to tears before him while he sits gloating a t their anguish disgusts me.

I am filled w ith contem pt a t the thought, th a t a senior faculty “head” , incapable of fully realizing the dignity and respon­sibility of his position, could by his ac­tions, when confronted and accused of non-ethical conduct, th reaten a black stu ­d en t w ith grievious bodily harm.

I think th a t the concept of the term “ University” as “a higher institu tion of learning” has been abused, when an a t ­mosphere of such depravity exists th a t black studen ts avoid registering on the courses of “certain” professors because they fear discrim ination.

I view with disdain those of your ilk, who condone and culture, by overt in tim i­dation of persons who would complain, the continuation of such sta tes of affairs, which depreciate the true values and ob­jectives of an institu tion of higher learn­ing. W hether the charge can be proven or else--The mere fact th a t a professor over a period of two years has allowed his re­lationship w ith his students to degenerate to a state in which they regard him with suspicion and distrust, should be indica­tive of his failure as a teacher of the young.

At the risk of being repetitious--I con­dem n your vicious a ttem p t to in tim idate black students. I denounce you for w hat is obviously a malicious effort to promote unsym pathetic a ttitu d es among whites who would otherwise tend to be more im partial in their assessm ent of the situation.

I have w ritten to you as a “ financially sound” , working m em ber of th is com m u­nity. I have em phasized the phrase “fi­

nancially sound” merely to po in t out tha t your dollars are not the only dollars thrown into the “k itty ” , and even if the term “ Indian-G iver” appropriately fits white Canadians, there are those blacks like me, who find it a b it “ little” . Our dollars educate whites, even when m any of us find it d ifficult to procure admission into institu tions of education, other than in token am ounts. Our dollars too, supply welfare to hundreds of whites, even when we in tim es of dire need face difficulty in getting it. But, of these phenom ena we do not complain. R ather, we view your “ littleness” with scorn. “Giving” is a very trying ordeal for “ little” people.

Incidentally, Mr. Cannings, I am also a student. I am one of the several black students who try to to tter onward towards a degree. We are tired and irritable, because we work hard a t usually inferior jobs, and regularly face civic obstacles of racial discrim ination -- We are b itter because our “breaks” come so late in life and still always dem and over-exten­sive reach through a maze of m an-m ade im pedim ents, to gain them -- We are conscious of the privation our families face because we divert such a substantial p a r t of our income towards our studies. The resilence w ith which youth responds to failure is petering from our m inds and bodies. We can in no ways afford failure! Therefore, Mr. Cannings, we are acutely in to leran t to failure. Should failure pre­sent itself, its causes m ust be tangible! We cannot accept failure, sim ply because black skins equal poor grades equal fai­lure! We will not, regardless of the cost, accept failure because of discrim ination, on account of our race! If there is the very slightest indication of racial discri­m ination practised against us, in Univer­sities of all places -- We will ferret it out and expose it to the w orld!

Carl Orton

E dito r’s Note: B ert Cannings also sta ­ted th a t black foreign students receive a g ran t of $2000.00 from the Canadian government. As a m atte r of fact, no black studen t receives any money from the Canadian governm ent except for the very few who receive scholarships.

lettersGuilty of deceitEditor, the georgian;

After following the weird incidents connected w ith the “Anderson Af­fair” , I cannot help b u t conclude th a t the adm in istra tion of the Uni­versity is guilty of dece it, obfusca­tion, and conceit.

For m onths now, Professor An­derson has been accused of racism. I t was whispered in Black circles; Black stu d en ts were warned to keep clear of his courses. There m ust be some foundation to these charges. I t seems clear enough th a t the a d ­m in istra tion is no t doing w hat it should to ensure th a t justice is done. T his will no t work. Too m any things are in the open now. While i t m ay be difficult to ‘prove’ to some th a t Professor Anderson is guilty of rac­ism, th is is only of secondary im ­portance now. W hat is far more si­gnificant is th a t racism appears to be institu tionalized in the University, as reported in ■ c-*.:,- ofJan ., 21, 1969. The drastic reduction of Black studen ts cannot be explained away. All the equivocations, all the euphem ism s m erely serve to suggest th a t th is is a racist conspiracy.

As a residen t of Quebec, as a teacher of preU niversity pupils, as a p a ren t of two U niversity studen ts, and as a tax payer, I am appalled a t the behaviour of so m any officials of a University. Acting V ice-Prin­cipal O’B rien’s ab ject letter of apo­logy for his “ M ista tem en t” is only one exam ple of the level to which the U niversity is being dragged. It is tim e to clean the Augean stables.

I have considered it m y civic res­ponsibility to ensure th a t justice is done and th a t the form s of in tim i­dation , w hether subtle or otherwise, used against those studen ts, will come to naught.

Yours sincerely, Justice

Justice Grows Out of a Baseball BatEditor, the georgian;

In Tim Burke’s article ‘SGW H it by ‘Bum R ap’” , which appeared in the M ontreal S tar of Jan . 25, Bill O’M ahoney, president of the Eve­ning S tu d en ts’ Association, was re­

FINANCIAL AIDREVISIONS

As of M o n d a y , J a n u a ry 13, stu­dents w h o h a v e been refused f inancia l assistance from the Province of Q u e ­bec, or w h o consi­der the a m o u n t of their a w a r d to be lo w e r than th a t to which they are en t i ­t led, should app ly to the office of the Dean of Students ( room H - 4 0 5 - 8 ) for an applicat ion of revision.

ferred to a s an advertising copy­writer. Fortunate ly , the organiza­tion th a t he works for was not iden­tified, since his s ta tem en ts would have caused acute em barrassm ent. In any event, the ou tfit th a t O’M aho­ney works for is no t im portan t. W hat is im p o rtan t is the cavem an-like m entality of the m an, his smoke- th in coating of civilization, the stu n ­ning rap id ity w ith which he is willing to exchange his drawing board for the baseball b a t. H is -statem ent: “Oh, they’re no t going to get guns or k n iv es or any th ing like th a t, b u t they won’t be averse to picking up baseball b a ts” is a dead give-away. I t is the fam iliar rhetoric of the Ku Klux K lan, the phrase-m aking of a W allace - ‘insurrectionist m ino­rity’, etc .; and , above all, there is the th rea t of naked force. If Bill O 'M ahoney is a representative of the liberalism th a t he claim s exists a t SGW, then I shudder to think abou t the less liberal universities.

Obviously, a group of s tuden ts who consistently dem anded a public hea­ring, stood firm in the face of real and powerful th rea ts , p u t their school year in jeopardy, m u st feel th a t they possess adequate evidence. W hat is wrong here is th a t Richard Miles, vice-president of ESA, sees h im ­self a s the com m ittee to whom evi­dence m u st be given. Well, Richard Miles is en titled to view himself through magnifying glasses as long as he likes, b u t Black S tuden ts do not care a fuck for his games. W hat they do care ab o u t is th a t they get a hearing before an im partia l com­m ittee, som ething th a t the adm in is­tra tion has been dragagging on for nearly a year.

Tim Burke, the gentlem an who wro­te the article , has contributed more than his fair share to a ll the confu­sion, lies, rum ours already surround­ing the Anderson affair. He chose to write in the following style: Vice­principal J.W . O’Brien had to sign a Pueblo-style account of his com­m unications w ith Anderson in order to break through a Black boycott of his office. W hat actually happen­ed, and w hat Tim Burke d idn ’t bother to check ou t thoroughly was as fol­lows: Six norm al-size Black S tudents w ent to O’B rien’s office to check on a letter th a t O’Brien had w ritten

Anderson. There were five univers­ity officials, including O’Brien, p re­sent a t the tim e of the ‘boycott’. The telephone was in working order nothing was d istu rbed ; nobody was threatened; O’Brien’s voice was fu l­ly operable; and there were scores of white stu d en ts strolling the cor­ridor outside his office. W as th is a Black boycott? If there rem ained any do u b t in my m ind ab o u t w hat Pueblo-style has come to m ean for the news m edia, B urke’s article clea­red it up nicely. It m eans th a t when questioned ab o u t your actions you lie first, speak the tru th , then say th a t you lied when you spoke the tru th . I t is a ll very confusing, b u t it is the curren t style in certain cir­cles.

One word more abou t Richard M i­les. He sta ted th a t only ‘abou t a dozen b lacks’ were causing the cur­ren t u n rest a t Sir George. T h is is bullshit, and he knows it. Over one hundred Black S tuden ts turned up a t the kangaroo-style hearing on Sun­day, Jan . 26, in spite of the fact th a t they knew beforehand th a t the Black S tudents were not going to testify. In a show of solidarity, they a ll walk­ed ou t w ith the s tuden ts after a s ta ­tem ent was read. The studen ts have the over-whelming support of the Black com m unity inside and outside the university. T h a t tim e-worn stra ­tegy of a ttem p tin g to play down a popular m ovem ent by claiming th a t it is only supported by a ‘few trouble­m akers’ will not work th is tim e. In spite of the Tim Burke’s, m isleading sta tem en ts by ESA officials, JBlack people now know w hat the issues are.

The studen ts and their supporters have no in ten tions of settling for less than their original dem and - an early hearing by an im partia l com m ittee. T hrea ts will no t work. I. for one, do no t trem ble in the face of Bill O’- M ahoney’s th rea ts , in spite of the fact th a t he and others like him are doing their u tm ost to create pan ic in the h earts of Black S tuden ts a ttend ing Sir George.

If B ill w ants to jo in the hum an race, he can apoligize for the s ta te ­ments. If he w ants to settle the m a t­ter in the style of the jungle, th en I am willing to m eet him personally, w ith baseball bat. If he is no t wil­ling to do e ither of those things, he can crawl ou t of th is university, his billowing white robe exposing his tail tucked tigh tly between his quive­ring legs.
