Sir George students riot, destroy computer center

MONTREAL (CUP)-The occupation at Sir George Williams University ended violently tuesday and left in its death throes over a,million dollars worth of damage, a fire and water gutted ninth floor of the school’s Hall building, 96 arrests and numerous injuries to police, stu- dents and by-standers.

Monday night, the whole affair seemed calm and approaching sat- isfactory settlement. Tuesday morning, it exploded wildly out of control.

The spark to explosion, ironi- cally, was a weekend-long round of negotiations between the oc- cupying students and the admin- istration. By sunday afternoon, the negotiators had hammered out a working proposal-and that’s where the confusiori began.

The students’ lawyer said he had been told by his administra- tion counterpart that the terms of the agreement-acceptance by the administration of the five demands set by the occupiers in return for an end to the occupations-would be ratified by his superiors.

The occupiers sensed victory and arranged a party sunday night.

Meanwhile, the administration lawyer took the agreement to prin- cipal Douglass Burns Clark for signature. Clark hesitated, and said he wanted to sleep on it,. The next morning, he did not sign but rather called a faculty association meeting to discuss the proposals. Spirits were still high in the two occupation ceI’1 tres- the computing center and the faculty club- everyone waited for final victory.

But the faculty, after a stormy seven-hour session, rejected the proposal and replaced it with ano- ther one- unacceptable to the stu- dents. The faculty was incensed over Clark’s morning suspension of prof Perry Anderson, osten- sibly‘ for his own protection.

The faculty had also supported

the old hearing committee and was not willing to renege on that support.

Two policemen were cut. It is unclear whether they were injured by window glass or flying bottles, but it is probable that both were involved. _

Their refusal to accept the negotiated agreement had tragic consequences.

When the faculty rejection was relayed to the students, they greet- ed it with stunned resentment. Two weeks of frustration and weary occupation sharpened into focus. Some occupiers cried, others hardened and called for a close-down of the school.

Realizing they hadn’t the streng- th to get in, the police settled down to a seige. Forty of them stood outside the center in ankle deep water singing “Michael Row the Boat Ashore”.

The students then started to smash up the center.

At that point, the principle of non-destructiveness still held.

The occupiers decided to seize the entire building. As a major portion rushed to lock all the en- trances, a small group headed out into independent action. They swarmed into the cafeteria, seized chairs and tables and start- ed barricading all the exits and escalators from the fourth floor up to the eleventh.

They tossed IBM cards, print- outs, papers, research documents -anything they could find-out the windows. These were followed

‘by typewriters, portable comput- ers and adding machines. Nine floors down, the city streets, now cordonned off by police, for three blocks, were thick with paper. By- standers, at least 1000 strong in the early morning, waded through reams of it.

To get into the cafeteria, they took axes to the locks-a move that brought the police in.

About 4am, 50 uniformed police marched into the school. As they tried to mount the barricades, they were washed away by power- ful streams from fire hoses trained on them by the students.

But realizing the weakness of their strategic position, the stu-- dents retreated from all areas of the building into the computer center.

The students then announced they would destroy the computers, one by one, until the police left. This was at 8am and Clarke had had enough. He told the police he “wanted them out of there, and I don’t care how you do it”.

The police told him they, had to wait for the riot squad, Mon- treal’s crack team designed for crowd control and riot-busting. The squad arrived at 9: 30, but they didn’t move in until lpm. /

Varidus administrators, think- ing they could save the computers, wanted to hold off.

That was the breaking point. Once they had watered down the police, they were there to win or lose, win or lose big.

The police followed them up.

Meanwhile, a huge mob had gathered in the streets below. The majority jeered the police. Oth- ers, about 400, supported. the stu- dents. Fist fights erupted contin- ually. At least 5 people were ar-

With a present operating budget of $23,613,000 the university would then be giving well over two millon dollars to the library. This is an increase of $660,300, which could buy over 25,000 books Per year. Biology prof Ron Eydt feels that the ten percent “is needed for several years in a row if the University of Water- loo wasn’t to be Canada’s biggest third- rate university.”

by Bill Sheldon Chevron staff

A crisis is forming over the situation in the libraries at the University of Water- loo. The main arts library is drastically understocked and has been that way, unchanged, for many years. As far back as 1965, it became obvious that Uniwat’s increase in books was dragging behind the other universities in Canada.

To relieve this situation .the EMS and arts library committees have strongly recommended the giving of ten percent off the top of the university operating budget, before it is divided amongst the faculties and administration.

Anyone who has not triedover and over to get books from the library only to be told that the books are out or that the

. university does ‘not have the book, may well wonder what state the libraries are in at present.

The best index is the inter-library loan requests. These are requests for books that the library does not have. There were 221 such requests id the month of january, 1969. This points out the definite lack of books in the libraries.

Despite this lack of books, the percent- age of the university operating budget given to the library has been decreasing over the years. In 1966-67 the library bud- get was $1,017,000 or 8.1 percent of that

of the whole university. In the following year it was $1,669,000 or 5.9 percent. This year it has again dropped to 5.8 percent, $1,334,193 of the operating budget.

This can be compared with other uni- versities such as Queens which allots 8.1 percent. Many universities allot over 10 percent and some go as high as 14.

Other figures prove to be equally small. The average library expenditure per student by universities all across Canada in 1967-68 was $197. The Ontario average was $215. The Waterloo expen- diture however, was only $157. The 1968- 69 is just as low in comparison ; $208 is the Canadian average, $219 the average for Ontario, while Waterloo gives $161.

In comparison to the above percentages of the university’s expenditure on libraries for the 1967-68 year, where Waterloo gave 5.9 pei-cent, Ontario gave 8.2 per- cent and Canada as a whole gave 8.1 per- cent.

The present system under which the library is given money consists of two areas of expenditure; money given to the library by the budgets committee for operating expenses and facilities, and money that is given by the faculties for the acquisition of books that they feel are needed by their’faculty. The amount spent by each faculty as a percentage of the faculty budget is as follows :

The university gets its operating money from two sources basically : government grants ($19,036,000) and student fees ($4,413,000). The amount the government gives any university is determined by the Basic Income Unit. The BIU is the amount of money-per student the govern- ment gives to the university.

In 1967-68 the actual BIU was $1320; 7.9 percent or $104 of which is the lib- rary component. For the 1968-69 year the BIU received was $1450, exactly ten percent of which was destined for lib- rary expenditure. Only 5.8 percent was spent on the library.

The main excuse for this money not having been spent on the library is that the money has been allotted to the ad- vancement of PP&P, audio visual, the computer and , health services. The deans feel this is a technological uni- versity and Waterlob should spend more money on its computer than on its lib- raries.

Furthermore the deans feel that the libraries are quite adequate and do not propose any drastic budgetary increas- es because there is no pressure to in- crease them. Chemistry prof Reg Fire- sen, member of the EMS library commit- tee stated, “the deans will not do any- thing unless pressure is put on them be- cause the money will have to come from some other part of their budget. ”

International wee& International Week, starting on

monday, february 17, will give you an insight into the problems and revolutionary movements in the

- third world. The week will begin with White

Colonialism in Africa. The situa- tion in Africa is so bad that African students, when asked to speak on the subject, had to re- fuse because of the fear of endan- gering their families in Africa. The subject will be presented through multi-media in the Campus Cen- ter Great Hall at 4.

On tuesday, following the films at 3, Dr. Norman MacKenzie, who had been working in various countries, including China, India, and Nigeria, since 1945, will speak on the topic of World Famine. People who are thinking of going abroad through CUSO or Cross-Roads Africa are encoura- ged to listen to him in the Great Hall. There will be a starvation supper at 5 in the Pub Area.

starts monday Dr. Degre. who was in Peru and

observed closely the revolu- tionary movements there, will speak on Revolutions in. Latin America on Wednesday at 4, also in the Great Hall. . Thursday. the focus will be on Canadian Indians. This is the issue which enables us to relate our- selves very closely with the problems in the third world. This event will take place in the Music Lounge at 4.

As the climax of the week, there will be a China Teach-In on friday at 1 in the Great Hall. Among the speakers will be Karen Rowling and Ray Wylie, who were both in China. Mr. Wylie spent 1965-1967 teaching English at the Foreign Language Institute, Shanghai, and witnessed the cultural revolution by travelling all over China.

International Week is organized by the Student Christian Move- ment and is sponsored by the Federation of Students.

Speaker Sandy McGregor had trouble maintaining quorum near the end of the agenda as the matter came up.

Federation president John Berg- sma proposed that Hagey be made an honorary member of the federation. The motion passed. An unidentified councillor said

Bergsma then proposed the federation buy Hagcy a rocking chair as a farewell gift. When McGregor called the vote, no one voted either in favor or op- posed. McGregor declared the vote a tie and cast the deciding vote in favor of buying the rocker.

Federation in film-making business

Student council decided mon- day to provide a $510 subsidy for the first film to be produced, on campus.

.John Par-lane. architecture 1, plans to complete a seven-minute short film study on campus habits for showing by next fall..

Pat-lane spent two years at Western where he worked on a project that produced several short films. One work, Steps for Catherine, ;I study of the life of a school teacher. is now being distributed to theaters.

If Pat-lane’s film makes mon- cy. the federation will get half of the first $1000 and all of any- thing over that.

He expects to portray some quirks of campus .lifc to show cvcry day activities are “nothing more than standardizcd fantasy.”

The proposed title is The yellow peril. referring to the campus f’ashion in jackets.

rested throughout the day. And the police, as they moved in to quell the fights, used billies to break up knots of people, injuring several.

One police van was set aflame but the -fire was quickly extin- quished.

By lpm, it was clear the com- puters were being destroyed. The riot squad was given orders to move in and started breaking down the barricades.

At that point, the occupiers smashed the remaining computers and set fire to the barricades.

into 9 paddy wagons and taken away to be processed. The univer- sity will press charges against all of them. One official said, “We’ll hit them with every crim- inal charge possible: ”

The students have been charged with conspiracy, arson and public mischief. Arson alone carries a maximum sentence of 14 years and a minimum of seven years.

At least 20 of the 96 arrested were women. The group is almost equally matched black and white.

The damage :

Flames shot out 15 feet and the police drew back. The blaze was visible for three city blocks. Thick black smoke filled the cor- ridors and at least 5 policemen and firemen were overcome with smoke and rushed to hospital.

The students, ringed by fire, stayed in a back room near an open window. Out in the corridors, newsmen and other students fled the area to get away from the smoke, unbearable even two floors away. Dozens retched in nausea.

The fire began to move in on-the students. The riot squad managed to put out the fire and get the students out before they were all either burned or overcome by smoke.

l At least a million dollars worth of computers. The center itself won’t be functional again until next October. l The whole ninth floor of the Hall building is gutted. Walls are down, floorboards torn up, win- dows smashed. e Water damage has wrecked at least 5 other floors. l Valuable research projects were destroyed.

House of debates loses close one

The police seized 96 and kept them lined up against a wall for 2 hours as they put out fires and awaited instructions.

Only a few of the occupiers man- aged to evade arrest.

At 6 pm, they were shoved

The Uniwat House of Debates emerged from four rounds of de- bate undefeated in a tournament at the University of New Bruns- wick last friday. With the highest point total in the tournament, Jo Surich and Rick Powell met U. of Ottawa in the semi-finals.

However they were beaten by

two points. The team said the judges were so biased that the Ottawa team approached them afterwards and offered to sup- port them in challenging the ruling as Ottawa also thought the judging was ridiculously preju- diced. However, Waterloo decided to let the ruling go unchallenged.

l Animals in psychology experi- ments on the 11 th floor all died.

Total damage is estimated at $8,000,000. 96 students now face severe criminal charges and leng- thy sentences.

The university will be shut down until at least monday and may take months to get back to normal And of course, the Anderson case may never be properly hand- led.

It’s a sad story of frustration, rigidity, weakness, absurdity and betrayal. __ An administration roundly scorned by students for mishandling the affair finally came to grips with the situation and lost out to the faculty.

The students, who had taken such delicate care of the com- puters for two weeks, finally des- troyed them and lost any chance they may have had of legitim- acy.

The f acuity , never militant throughout and at no time leaders in the affair, raised its hackles at the worst possible time.

Everybody loses-over a dis- pute about the composition of a committee.

Fe W f u ulty turn Out to confront Wernick

Andy Wernick’s marxist lecture series‘continued Wednesday with a critique of the social sciences. Special notices were sent to all members of the arts faculty in- viting them to attend and engage Wernick in discussion.

However, only a half dozen fac- ulty members attended; and with the exception of a lengthy dialog with sociology chairman Gerard de Gre, and a brief shouting match with poli-sci prof John Wilson, the half dozen did not discuss the lecture with Wernick..’

Wernick’s critique centered around the social scientist’s at- tempt to view society in the role of an objective spectator. This, he feels, is neither practical nor hon- est when the same social scientist may be engaged in studies for a government.

He also stated there was a dangerous tendency toward generalization.

“This leads to statements which are blatant propaganda and lies. For instance, the belief that we live in a pluralist democracy with no class conflict. It’s bloody nonsense. ”

Further, he criticized the social sciences for treating values as something independent of social reality.

“This is a static model. It can only be considered if time is held constant, and it can’t be applied to a real setting,” he explained.

“They start seeing things only in terms of roles within a social network and social science be- comes social engineering.”

Sociology chairman de Gre ar- gued that, any analysis must begin with the given conditions of the system.

“Don’t forget it was Marx who

said that the forms of social exist- ence in which man finds himself determine his consciousness, ” he continued.

He felt existing power relations were crucial for a progressive or conservative social science orien- tation because of the complex situation they cause.

Wernick replied it was the elite of society which established a cul- tural dominance over the remain- der of people.

“This must be challenged,” he said.

He wondered again why social scientists attempt to remain neu- tral and objective.

“They’re merely transmitting bourgeois ideas by doing so.”

He challenged de Gre to tell him how it was possible for intellect- uals to remain neutral but de Gre was unable to provide a direct. answer.

Wernick then asked de Gre how many Marxists there were in his department.

“Is the only acceptable social scientist a Marxist?” John Wilson boomed suddenly.

Wernick paused and said yes. He went into an explanation, indi- cating it was a question to which a simple yes or no answer couldn’t be given.

“Then you’re narrow-minded,” Wilson responded.

De Gre said he attempted to run his department in a pluralist man- ner, with all points of view repre- sented. He felt the resulting con- frontation of ideas encourages knowledge.

Wernick responded by referring the audience to two printed critics of pluralism and finished his lec- ture.

Re@tment reduction heriilds lack of jobs by Al Lukachko Chevron staff ’ A 30 percent drop in placement ads in university newspapers, a 30 percent decrease in recruitment on university-campuses and a good chance students will be out of jobs this summer.

In a recent survey of placement ads in the Chevron, it was found the number of pages used by em- ployers seeking students to fill their positions was down 31.7 per- cent over last year. The placement ads are mainly for graduates, but have a close relation to summer jobs.

The companies with substantial decreases include IBM, Bell Canada, Proctor and Gamble, Great-Western Life, Cominco, A.C. Neilsen and General Foods. However, it is interesting to note that the Public Service Commis- sion of the federal government has increased advertising by 600 percent.

sel, McKinnon Industries and the Oshawa plant under one company, G.M. of Canada is indicative of business centralizing manage- ment and research and develop- ment. As a result, manpower quotas are reduced and the en- gineers are the big losers.

Students, in the labour context, are simply treated as a commo- dity by the corporate business world. If business has no need of the commodity, it defers utilizing it until such time as it can employ it to its sole purpose of maximi- zing profits.

Automation is slowly restricting the number of unskilled jobs that students have filled in past sum- mers. The kind of summer jobs that will be available, will increas- ingly be of a type that requires a training that is not learned in university.

A look at the number and type of recruiters on campuses is not too encouraging. Major business, notably the pulp and paper and automotive industries, both large employers of summer help, are missing.

If the problem of summer jobs is not solved within the next two months, the government must be prepared to give larger and more student loans in September.

Is the government, with its large increase in placement ad- vertising, trying to cover up something they have no control over and which oould lead to great- er student unrest?

Greek students subjected to stringent *code

Government, itself, must be fair- ly hypocritical by advertising more and at the same time stream- lining their own departments by cutting down on summer employ- ment.

The recent move by General Motors to consolidate G.M. Die-

ATHENS, Greece (LNS)- Greece’s military dictatorship has imposed a rigid code of con- duct on university students.

The code imposes stringent penalties on students who show “disrespect” or participate in strikes or demonstrations. The code also permits action against students” not imbued with the spi- ritcompatible with the established system. ”

Committee will answer

Is provost a necessary iob? by Bill Brown Chevron staff

\ more education about counselling Creative arts

In investigating the position of provost the student affairs review committee has been deluged with information from the groups that used to report to provost Bill Scott.

The committee of six is chaired by Jack Brown, director of ancil- lary enterprises, and has two fac- ulty and three student representa- tives. The faculty members are Leo Johnson (history) and Lynn Watt +&lectrical) engineering). Studentre$!esentatives are Nancy Murphy for the girls, Deiter Haag for the g&is and Al Crawford; a student residence representative.

The committee has been seeking ideas concerning reporting rela- tionships and structures from those who were under the provost to come up with a better system.

Before the committee begins to draw up a system to recom- mend to the administration they are going to ask former provost Scott to outline what he thinks would be the best reporting struc- ture. Professor Scott will meet with the committee at 1 pm this af- ternoon in room 402 in the arts lib- rary. This meeting, as all others, is open to anyone who wishes to observe.

Thus for the committee has received briefs from and spoken with William Dick of counselling services, Mrs. Edith Beausoleil of housing and foreign student af- fairs, Dr. Helen Reesor of Health services, Paul Berg and John Koval (Math4) of creative arts, Mrs. Hilda Taylor and Mrs. Helda- gard Marsden, dean of women, and Ron Eydt and Cail Vinni- combe of the student Village.

Counselling services Bill Dick reviewed the basic

policies and plans for future acti- vities.

Johnson suggested a closer liai- son between counselling and academic departments and Dick agreed that there was a need to fill gaps in that area.

Expansion and decen traliza- tion of counselling services was proposed by Dick. He pointed out that there are already counselling offices in the engineering and arts faculties, the Village and health- services building. New satellites suggested are science, math and phys-ed faculties and the campus center.

A consensus was reached that there was a definite need for

services, especially for the frosh during orientation. Along with the idea- was the expression of the desirability of a well-known and easily accessible headquarters for counselling.

Dick felt that since many con- cerns of students bear directly on academic life, counselling should report to the academic vicepre- sident.

Housing and foreign student office

Mrs. Beausoleil presented a report on housing. She said that she would not mind reporting to an independent administration such as that in charge of the cam- pus center. What she really wan- ted, though, was an expression of policy for her department to follow.

Beausoleil suggested that the community renting rooms to stu- dents would rather deal with the administration than representa- tives of students. Haag replied, “It is time the people realized that the university is not every- thing except the student.”

In the discussion on foreign students, Mrs. Beausoleil said there is discrimination in Kitch- ener-Waterloo. She suggested that there is a great need for a special foreign student orienta- tion. Haag informed the commit- tee the Grad Society had just started plans for such a program and that faculty would probably be involved.

Health services

Dr. Reesor stated that health services were for students and thus students should have a lot of weight on policy decisions. She pointed out that the health service was forced into being through the ef- forts of students and particularly Sid Black, former Chevron editor.

The idea of setting up a campus mutual fund for health service was brought forward by John- son and all agreed the idea merit- ed a closer inquiry.

Dr. Reesor said the nurses and doctors are underpaid. She further stated, “It is the policy of the university to underpay so as not to take personnel away from local industry because they have to appeal to industry for funds.” Brown, the administra- tion representative denied it, say- ing the nurses may be paid less but get excellent fringe benefits.

Paul Berg asked for a per capita levy on students to provide a stable budget for the creative arts board. An alternative was budgeting two years ahead so that the bookings could be made on time.

There was questioning about the students subsidizing the fac- ulty in creative arts productions.

To get around that it was sug- . gested that the funds come from internal university budgeting without the student federation paying directly.

John Koval, creative arts board chairman, felt there was a conflict of interest due to the fact that Berg was concerned with both bookings and the creative arts board.

Dean of women Mrs. Marsden felt that a dean

of men was needed as well as a dean of women. She felt an om- budsman for the students might be useful.

Mrs. Taylor felt women met special frustrations in our society due to discrimination. Girls are trained to work as professionals in some cases, but are told they can be secretaries.

Mrs. Taylor felt student affairs has low priority and vicepresi- dential authority might get some power. She felt a student, faculty, administration board such as for the campus center would be “trem- endous ’

Village Warden Eydt wanted to have

authority over his accounts as do other departments. He feels all his responsibilities come from the students, but he doesn’t have the power to carry things out.

Eydt complained about business opefations interfering with the Village, and noted PPandP in particular. PPandP had charged a 20 percent surcharge on village repairs, then switched to $1000 assessment instead. The new as: sessment just replaced the sur- charge and the students were told the surcharge was now gone.

Eydt sought more power so that he would be able to get things done without interference from other university depart- ments. He also proposed a resi- dence council that would be the warden’s immediate boss. The council would have 21 students out of 21 members.

Depression possible

Marcirs warns of money crisis by Bill Sheldon Chevron staff

Lin Marcus, a consultant econ- omist in New York, warned of an impending economic crisis throughout the world, within the very near future. Marcus spoke to about 100 people monday night in the arts lecture building.

This economic crisis will be similar to economic crises on the world market in November 1967 and March 1968 with the devalua- tion of the pound. he said, and later in the summer of 1968 with the franc.

Economic depression he con- tinued, has been staved off by the shifting of monetary reserves during these crises, but this can not be done indefinitely for every crisis. In the very near future either more value must be placed behind the world currencies or else they must be devalued.

We are in a period similar to that of 1929 to 1931, the great de- pression. The U.S. imperialist system is no longer able to sup- port the faltering ecodomies of the world ; it doesn’t have the re- sourses to put value behind the world economies that it has in- flated.

Depression is inevitable and we are closer to 1931 than we are to 1929, he warned.

Avoiding the more technical aspects of the conomic crisis Marcus explained how inflation comes about, the history of im- perialism in the modern world and what can be done to rectify the present trend in events.

Capitalism has one real feature, he explained, and that is, if new capital, from prdfits on industry, is invested in new industry, these investments will yield real pro- fits. With a situation such as this the capitalist system could go on indefiriit&ly.There may be coitrii dictions in the system but never an!: crises. The system fails, he he concluded. when it does not pro- duce new profits or value on in- vestments.

He illustrated this with a build- ing that is 50 years old and has reached the end of its usefulness as a building. This building is then sold to a speculator for a price higher than the original cost of construction. even in constant dol- lar terms. Then the speculator sells the structure again for an even higher price. Thus the paper value of the place rises but the real value stays the same. The capital value of the mortgage has risen without a similar rise in the value of the property. This is the actual way the prosperity of world increases. In the U.S. today, Marcus pointed out, .there is over one and a half billion dollars in public and private debt.

“But the value of this paper,” said Marcus. “comes from the conviction of people that they can sell this paper for the price they hold it at or better.” So if there is ever instability in a govern- ment or other such happening, he continued, the speculators may start to sell their paper money for the value at which they hold it. This precipitates inflation and instability and the demonitiza- tion of world currencies.

Marcus then outlined the history of imperialist economics. The main factor influencing this his- tory, he explained, was that the capitalist system is an open system. The system depends on the looting and raping of colonies and other developed or under- developed countries for its exist- ante.

Before 1870 Britain was an op- ponent of imperialism, but after that period it, along with the other developed countries became exponents of the system.

“The only viable alternative to depression is a socialist revol- ution, “said Lin Marcus of the SDS labor committee.

By 1913, these developed coun- tries had almost exhausted their colonies, ’ ’ except for the U.S. and Canada, who had their own private looting ground in Latin America ’ ’ , he said. It was clear that some of the competitors had to be removed and thus ensued World War I.

“During the 1920’s the U.S. prop- ped up the corpse of Europe, but by 1926 its resourses ran out and in 1929 world trade collapsed and there was a depression.”

Every country was ruined by this except the U.S. and these countries were effectively reduced to satropies of the U.S. That. is all except Germany, he pointed out; it went back to tGe imperialist philosophy it held before the war. Therefore the U.S. had to establish complete hegemony over the world whereas Germany had to conquer the entire world.” The two systems have many simi- larities.” said Mar&s.

Imperialism has thus effectively smashed and destroyed the entire world. The underdeveloped coun- tries have been looted so badly they will never recover without outside help and the developed countries are so dependant on the U.S., a country unwilling to reconstruct the world, that they are incapable of helping the world either.

Marcus calculates that in order to raise the standard of living in the entire U.S. to that of the aver- age standard of living in Europe, it would require a capital outlab of about 3 trillion dollars. Ta do this for the entire world there would have to be capital outlay of close to 30 trillion dollars.

The U.S., Marcus added, is very capable of solving world

problems. Over 60 percent of the U.S. economy is waste. In the last ten years, expansion in the U.S. has been concentrated in two categories, the military- areospace complex, which does no good for humanity, and the in- crease in the number of govern- ment paper-pushers, who also do no good for humanity. If the money that goes into these areas was concentrated into creating productive jobs and ac- tual goods, the probleins of man could be solved.

Marcus concluded with an ana- lysis of what kind of solutions would be put forward by world leaders and what would arise from these solutions.

In order to stave off a monetary crisis, the world monetary sys- tem must place value behind the paper money to ward off specula- tion. They could do this by this by taxing themselves but that would decrease their profits so they can not do that.

They could develop their old colon’ies so that they become productive once more and can again be exploited, but this cannot be done either, because it means capital outlay.

The only thing left to do is decrease the real wages of the working class through taxes and wage guidelines. But even this can not be done to a great extent because the worker needs a fairly high standard of living in order to reproduce himself on a high enough standard of education for modern complex industry.

A monetary crisis, Marcus con- cluded, is going to be hard to avoid and in may or june this year the crisis may be large enough to bring about a world depression.

Saskatoon campus principal praises student activism

SASKATOON (INDEED)-Stu- dent activism was praised last week by R. W. Begg. principal of the IJniversity of Saskatchewan campus here.

But Begg made it clear he dis- approves of violence, student power, open decision-making, and political democracy in achieving new goals for the university.

“In a way,” he told a service club meeting. “I’m more con- cerned about those who don’t give a damn than I am about the radicals. The radicals are concerned about type of education they’re getting while the majority of students are prepared to go along with whatever happens to them. ”

He said he didn’t know of any violently active students on cam-

Pus but he “made it my business to find out.”

“But I’m not naive enough to think in 10,000 students there would- n’t be a few.”

Begg said the main cause of student unrest is the teaching situation. Large classes in large colleges, where students have lit- tle contact with the teachers, fail to create a sense of identity.

And, he said, campus turmoi! today does not mean the modern student generation is any worse than it ever was.

“Students today are brighter, better-dressed and better-behaved than they were in my day.” The campus principal said he favored more student participation in sett- ing university policy on a less- than-equal basis with the faculty.

He said the university should not be a political democracy be- cause it was not set up that way.

coming election

Sir George: ruc~sm and destruction by Elly Alboim

MONTREAL (CUP)- Reporter: “Why didn’t you take the

students’ demands seriously?” Faculty Association executive mem-

ber: “YOU know these West Indian students-they exaggerate, they’re ex- pansive and they use obscenity, but we’ve come to overlook that. They think differently.”

If it wasn’t exaggeration, it was un- predictablity, a term the administration at Sir George Williams University sub- stituted for communication as its key crisis phrase.

And it was precisely that state of mind that precipitated the conflict and its tragic consequences.

Of course, there were immediate triggers. After two weeks of occupation, the students were betrayed in the last moments. They expected victory, were told their demands would be met and then, in the midst of victor euphoria, were let down dramatically Tl y a mori- bund faculty suddenly up with a snarl.

The pent-up frustration could not be contained-though it might have been had the police not been called. And the computers, so carefully guarded from harm by the students for 14 days, were smashed beyond repair by their met- iculous guardians.

They would have done their ca,se better to withdraw quietly, losers in a wearying, struggle. They had the support of the student body and might have seen their demands met after a while. But they responded to power with the only power they could muster, destruction. The anatomy of response is an intriguing problem but not very relevant.

Not much more relevant are the eight months of administrative waffling on the charges against Perry Anderson. The weakness and hesitancy lead naturally to escalation, demands and finally oc- cupation. That is a straight-forward process.

The substantive charges against An- derson-which now may never’ be ex- plicitly defined-may or may not be valid. Racism is a difficult attitude to expose on the subtle individual level. Nuances of speech, treatment of indivi- duals, deliberate color-blindness may all be indicators. It is not so much individ- ual attitudes per se but the social insti- tutions that create them that are im- portant. Pragmatically, in order to sat- isfactorily illustrate institutional racism, an educator would take an individual and show how he had been molded by and was implicitly involved in, a greater social process,

That is the dramatic technique. Whether it is ethically justifiable is

questionable. A judgment would in- volve balancing the relative weights of the consequences to the individual model against the possible value of an increase in sensitivity to *an awareness of social racism.

It is at best doubtful whether, in the final analysis, people were sensitized to racism. There is no doubt that a sig- nificant number of white students were -they joined the occupations and talked out racism for days. They, however, would have arrived at that sensitivity on their own with little help. An enor- mous number of people never looked beyond militancy and destruction.

Black leaders may have been satis- fied with the outcome, at least to a cer- tain extent. They did manage to create a solid, militant core of blacks. Though they had little feeling for property rights, they did not want, the destruction that resulted. They knew the strategi- cal implications of damage and knew their case would be washed away in the swirl of shrill outcry. They simply lost control.

There is no doubt the blacks were extremely sensitive to racism. They . may have reacted too quickly, sized up situations too readily. They were of course influenced by the black move- ment in America and the emerging one in Halifax.

But all of this would not have been sufficient cause for the eruption. It

was more white reaction that convin- ced them of racism than anything else.

When people are told they’re differ- ent, they become different.

White radicals were one of the culp- able groups. Their obsequience, hesi-- tancy to question and debate with blacks convinced the blacks of their control. Decisions in the computing center were almost invariably made by blacks; de- bate on strategy involved blacks. Whites did not participate until- they proved their worth by an independent occupation of the faculty club.

Administrators were also implica- ted. Their continual hesitancy to act be- cause of the “unpredictability” of blacks was disastrous. They could have handled white protest-dialog and compromise are legitimate tactics with whites.

But they made it clear from the be- ginning they didn’t know what to expect from the blacks and acted accordingly. The stilted politeness, retreat to down- town hotels, lack of communication all hinged on their evaulation of blacks as something Different, to be handled Dif- ferently.

And they made no claim to expertise. An administration that has handled

students cooly in the past, suddenly lost its firm hand when dealing with black students.

And the implications of that were not lost on the blacks.

The faculty also played its hand bad- lY* Teachers, perhaps in the best situation to sense the mood of the school, failed utterly. They were more concerned with Anderson’s suspension and its implications to teaching secur- ity than evaluating the political situa- tion and making the best of it. And spokesmen kept making unfortunate evaluations of black students to the media. And of course there were hund- reds of: “I don’t care whether he’s black, white, green or pink, I want the facts.”

The media played the affair as a black-white confrontation though in, reality it had been turned into a complex student power, revolutionary action. The blacks sensed the news value in

blackness (“black students and white sympathizers”-Montreal Star). Re- porters called white students by their first names and collared them infor- mally-they spoke to Mr. Black and ask- ed politely for interviews.

The blacks then became blacks- Different from anyone else.

And in doing so, they were fully aware they had been forced to. They acknow- ledged that individuals were not cons- cious racists, but saw clearly that the social ethic had forced individuals to treat them differently from all others.

Given that institutional racism had become an objective reality and was transmitted to them by various groups and individuals, they were unwilling to differentiate in any relative sense.

Had they acknowledged that various individuals were blind to the manifesta- tions of their unconscious racism but nevertheless were objectively less re-

pugnant and easier to deal with than the deliberately constructed racist institutions or conscious racists them- selves, they might have been able to work the dispute out.

At that point, they could have forced many people to re-evaluate themselves and understand the conflict with the blacks. They were able to work with white radicals ; they may have been able to work-though less effectively- with white liberals.

AS the Differences piled up and the division sharpened, the blacks, though never talking about it, began to despair. Perhaps they thought the racist aspect of the situation could be explained away, that it was only surface dirt.

AS the occupation dragged on and they read signs calling them niggers, warning them to get back into their place, they lost hope. The overt racism coupled with the not-so-subtle covert racism ’ convinced them they would not win.

When the confrontation came, they had little to lose-as human beings.

The destruction was a last stutter of impotent rage.

The whites involved were split. Some were radical people who tried all the while to put the affair into political perspective. The blacks insisted they weren’t interested in the “Isms”- Capitalism, socialism, marxism. They ejected one maoist who was too vocifer- ous.

Gradually they began to create that revolutionary analysis. Some of them left before the police came, knowing they could do no good in jail.

Others stayed to fight imperialism on the barricades.

But many were white liberals genuin- ely interested in attaining justice in creating a new hearing committee. They were driven to destruction because they were betrayed by people they believed would finally be reasonable-liberal ad- ministra tors and faculty.

In the final analysis, it was the atti- tude of difference that killed Sir George. Had this revolt been treated like any others, the tragedy would not have hap- pened.

The demands made by the occupiers were the mildest made to date in the history of serious student revolt. The students simply wanted a new hearing committee, agreeable to both sides, a demand they likened to any trial where prosecution and defense select the jury.

. Administrative and faculty rigidity came not from the unreasonableness of the demands (though, of course, a - fair number opposed in principle giving in to students in any way) but rather from evaluation of the people they were dealing with.

And they were incapable of dealing with blacks.

Perhaps the blacks in the long run did prove their case. But everybody has paid an enormous price for that lesson.

Whckor protest - follows firing

WINDSOR (CUP)-Some 55 uni- versity of Windsor students seized the school’s theology department early tuesday morning in a protest against non-renewal of a pro- fessor’s contract. The students are also demanding a voice in faculty hiring processes.

Student discontent with the hiring policies sharpened two weeks ago when the theology department refused to renew the contract of Dr. W.D. Kelly.

A demand by students for the reasons behind the move elicited a statment from his department head that university regulations prohibited revealing cause in such circumstances.

Kelly says he, was rejected for causing dissension in the depart- mental ideas”. His department head, Rev. ‘E. R. Malley has admitted Kelly’s offences were non-academic.

Student leaders said it was the refusal to renew Kelly’s contract, despite two petitions by students in his classes, that provided the initial impetus for the sit-in and made the theology department the target for takeover.

They marched in with sleeping bags, food and cameras and chain- ed the doors behind them. They said they would remain there un- til the following demands are met: * equal student faculty represent- ation at the department level. * open meetings at all levels of university government.

’ * amnesty for the occupiers.

Strax affair at UNB

l re-instatement of Kelly if he wishes it.

The administration responded by charging “widespread misun- derstanding and misrepresenta- tion with respect to the facts.”

The student council voted 14-2 to support the occupation, though most of the school’s 4200 stu- dents have remained uninterested in the affair.

The Windsor police, when con- tacted; said they would not inter- vene unless asked to by the ad- ministration. By late afternoon the administration had not decided on any action.

They did issue a news release on university hiring and firing policy, reasons that these deci- sions remain confidential and cour- ses open for appeal of decisions.

Minor incidents occurred during the day when a small group of students threatened to forecefully end the occupation and student council decided to hire watchmen to keep order outside of occupied areas after rumors that engineers may attempt to disrupt.

A faculty member broke several windows in an attempt to enter the student held territory, but the belligerent students and the destructive faculty men were unsuccessful.

Kelly says he has not pursued lines of appeal open to him, and outlined in an administration news release, because he is not sure he wants to come back to work at Windsor anyway.

In a press release issued Mon- day, the CAUT executive said it will convene a full council meeting of CAUT on March 15 to dis- cuss the ‘censure.

The statement says CAUT has “repeatedly protested against the action of the university president (or UNB) and board in sus- pending professor (Norman) Strax without any charges or any pre- vision for an adjudicative hearing” CAUT has asked the UNB board of governors for an adjudicative hearing and the board has not com- plied.

Censure by CAUT means that all members of the association are advised not to accept teach- ing job appointments at the school and that anyone applying for a job at the school will be advised of the reason for censure.

To avoid censure, UNB must set up an arbitration committee to hear the university charges against Strax. It must also lift the ccurt order restraining Strax from enter- ing the UNB campus and must assume all legal fees incurred by Strax in his fight with the ad- ministration‘ because those expen- ses were incurred as a “result of the university’s failure to proceed in the normal academic say”.’

A committee of councillors Bill Snodgrass. Glenn Berry and Paul Dube submitted amendments to the existing salaries policy which for the first time distinguishes between full-time and part-time federation presidents.

Essentially they proposed that a part-time president is one who remains a full-time student or who holds another job while he is presi- dent. Part-time presidents would receive a salary of $25 a week with full-time ones getting more.

Renison rep Paul Dube. a com- mittee member. attempted to have this proposal deleted from the report but his motion was de- fea ted. Dube maintained that Bergsma should not *be paid for a job he isn’t doing, and cited student complaints about Bergs- ma’s unavailability.

However, Snodgrass, the com- mittee’s chairman, included a sec- tion in the report defining cur- rent president John Bergsma

Starting March 1, salaries for full-time presidents and Chevron editors go up to $75 a week, from about $60 a week for the past year. However if the president is married he will get $85 a week and if he has a family he will get $90.

A A CCORDING TO OUR COMPU- TER,” says Robert Allan Jr., head of Litton Industries’ Greek project, “there’s less than 800

weeks before the present trend will be irreversible. ‘. . .The need for food and the lack of capacity of technology in . . under- developed nations will be overwhelming . . . It’s time that we got to work on it.” To listen to Litton executives and to read their annual reports, one might suppose that Litton was some enormous social welfare agency rather than a multi- billion-dollar defense contractor. In reality, it is both of these and more.

Litton Industries produces S&H Green Stamps and Stouffer Foods, missile gui- dance systems and nuclear attack sub- marines. It runs important programs of the War on Poverty at home. And abroad it recently secured an $800 million con- tract-to which Mr. Allan’s statement referred-with the Greek military jun- t? for the economic development of the whole geographical region of Western Peloponnesus and Crete. Litton is the perfect example of the new corpora- tion extending itself beyond the limits that have divided the private oligarchies of business from the realms of responsibility traditionally reserved to government.

Among the corporate bearers of this brave new American future, Litton stands out as something of a paradigm and arche- type foreshadowing the shape of things to come. It is not just the new corporation, but the Now Corporation. It has gathered about itself the full mystique of modernity: advanced technology, the “systems ‘engi- neering” approach (a product of military contracting), electronics and space. And the mystique has paid off phenome- nally well, with a corporate growth rate which Business Week says may well be the fastest in the history of U.S. business.

In 1953, when a group headed by Char- les “Tex” Thornton bought Litton, then a small electronics firm, for $1.5 million the company showed $3 million in sales. This year its worth has grown to a fan- tastic $1.8 billion level, making it the 44th largest industrial corporation in the U.S., ranking ahead of such traditional giants as Alcoa Aluminum, Coca-Cola and Dow Chemical.

It is perhaps natural that the guiding forces of American society, frustrated by the nation’s stubborn social ills which appear to be insoluble by traditional means, should turn to the methodology of military-space development as the Way to Get Things Done.

Unable to confront the real moral and political dimensions of its economic and social crisis, the American leadership defines the crisis as basically a technical problem and is immensely comforted thereby: the technical problem is large, to be sure, but it is one that can be handled without any serious reassessment of American values and institutions-and without the social upheaval that might be necessary to restructure them.

If engineers employed by private cor- porations on contract to the government can put men on the moon, it is reasoned, surely they can cure the social and econo- mic crisis at home.

-The social engineering approach to race and poverty is merely the logical extension of the pervasive liberal doc- trine of pragmatic America and the “end of ideology. ’ ’ As John F. Kennedy, whom many look on as the last national states- man to bear the torch of idealism, affirm- ed in his famous Yale address in 1962: “What is at stake is not some grand warfare of rival ideologies which will sweep the country with passion, but the practical management of a modern econ- omy. What we need is . . .more basic dis- cussion of the sophisticated and techni- cal issues involved in keeping a great economic machinery moving ahead.”

The domestic upheavals in the years following President Kennedy’s address have torn to shreds the mythology of the crisis-free welfare state. But the mytho- ogy of salvation through the application between government and the private cor- porations has not only survived, it. has risen to a new intensity of apocalyptic promise.

ITTON INDUSTRIES WAS THE FIRST corporation to take over one of the poverty program’s mul-

1 timillion-dollar job corps camps- whose large urban centers are now run completely by private enterprise-and was an early promoter of the “military systems” approach for other areas of national policy.

As the idea has caught on, proposals have proliferated. General Bernard Adolph Schriever, special Administration consul- tant on housing and urban development programs, has already suggested that aerospace’s management process be applied to these programs, and aero- space industrial teams have begun pushing Eor contracts in such areas as urban traffic management and water conserva- tion (California’s waste disposal program is in the process of being .handed over to Aero-j et-General).

Litton, for its part, has offered to con- tract whole local school systems, promi- sing to put them on a sound footing and to run them smoothly and economically- a logical step since it is already a major textbook publisher and runs a college of .ts own in Michigan. It is a proposal ;hat may well appeal to harried parents md tax-ridden homeowners.

Litton Industries has been the corporate success story of the postwar period just oecause it is the perfect product of the times, custom-made to fit the outlines of the new order. For the same reason, it is a perfect image of the economic develop- ments of this period: the vast expansion

of the military budget during the Cold War and the largest corporate merger wave in U.S. history.

While the notion of a military-indus- trial complex has gained currency in recent years, the technological underpinn- ing of the new intimacy between govern- meht and business has gone largely unnoticed. Yet fully 70 per cent of all research and development being done in the United States today (about $16 billion worth), is paid for by the federal govern- ment, whereas a little more than 20 years ago it supported almost none at all.

The significance of this for the civilian economy was spelled out recently by Lit- ton-s number two man, Roy Ash, in ex- plaining his company’s relation to the military sector. Since “almost all new products have their first application in military uses,” said Ash, “we always want at least 25 per cent of our business in defense and space. r’

Ash’s statement and the facts behind it reflect the final collapse of the corner- stone of old-fashioned capitalism. In the old days private corporations would de- velop technological innovations at their own expense, risking the outlay with a view to being rewarded by future returns from the competitive marketplace. This was the very essence of entrepreneur- ship.

However, technical research has now become extremely expensive, and because of the gentlemanly pace of competition among the monopolistic giants of the American economy, these corporations are no longer forced by fear of rivals to risk such investments. So they have be- come accustomed to getting the govern- ment to pick up the tab before they move.

These corporations have grown economi- cally lazy, in part because they really can live better on the largess of the SO- called welfare state. One of the factors that has made it possible for them to pry such huge sums of research money out of the government has been the unprece- dented increase in the concentration of economic-and with it, political-power in the last decade.

This tremendous concentration move- ment in the economy has been spear- headed by the advance of the “conglo- merate” corporations, formed by the acquisition of companies operating in diverse markets. Litton is the star of this movement, with enterprises in 18 distinct industrial categories.

To an uninitiated observer of the con- glomerate phenomenon, Litton’s fantastic rise has a distinctly mystifying air about it, like some kind of psychic levitation. For despite all the hullabaloo about new technologies and go-go management, Lit- ton can point to no revolutionary innova- tion which has benefited the civilian economy and represents a tangible basis for its surging nonmilitary growth (about two-thirds of Litton’s present sales, ac-

cording to Roy Ash, are in civilian fields). One had only to think of Xerox and Polar- oid, where jet-powered corporate growth and revolutionizing technology have gone hand in hand, to bring the contrast into focus.

It is not that Litton produces nothing innovative or useful (if inertial gui- dance systems for missiles and fighter planes can be considered useful), but rather that nothing Litton has marketed seems to warrant its unparalleled record of corporate expansion. Indeed, most of Litton’s technological innovations were already being developed in the 70 and more businesses which Litton has ac- quired-before they became part of the parent firm.

Yet to be mystified by this is merely to confuse what Thorstein Veblen called the “business system” with the indus- trial systeml- that is, to mistake the SYS-

tern of developing and implementing technologies to meet human needs for the system of making a buck off them.

Litton’s success is a function almost entirely of a brilliant, if sleight of hand, business strategy, with the U.S. govern- ment as silent partner. If the constituents of its success seem somewhat insub- stantial to the ordinary man, the cash it has made is real. And in the “business system, ” it is the cash that counts.

“Tex Thorn ton-good abilities along 3 few lines but not a good all round man,. ;s unprincipled, ruthless and is universally disliked; cannot be trusted.”

-from a confidential memo prepared by a member of the prestigious Wall Street accounting firm of Haskins 8~ Sells; marked as an exhibit in the Steele vs Litton case.

r j ‘EX THORNTON IS THE PARA-

T

DIGM new corporate manager of the paradigm new corporation. His career follows the now well

trodden path from civilian Washington to the military to the corporate elite.

Thirty years ago Tex Thornton was a $1400~a-year clerk in Washington ; today

he is a university trustee, a member of the President’s advisory commission on civil disorders (the Kerner Commission) and head of its special advisory panel on private enterprise. He was one of a hand- ful of nominees considered to succeed Robert McNamara as secretary of De- fense, and according to a Washington Post columnist he is-with typical military industrial bipartisanship-presently being considered by Richard Nixon for that job.

He has already achieved the coveted seat next to the President at White House business meetings. In addition to being chairman of the board of Litton, he is an “interlocking director” of such giants as TWA, Lehman Corporation, General Mills, the Western Bancorporation (a

bank holding company for the Bank of t America interests) and Union Oil.

Needless to say, in Thornton’s new cir- cles being a millionaire is not at all un- usual, but he has already made $80 mil- lion and is aiming for the status of centi- millionaire. If the market for Litton stock holds up, he will soon make it. Tex Thorn- ton has come a long way, and the Horatio Alger award he received in 1964 was shrewdly given.

Soon after Tex was born in a small north central Texas town, his father ran off, leaving his mother to drill him in the manly art of finance. When he was just twelve, she was already encouraging him to use his earnings from odd jobs to buy land, instead of frittering his money away like a kid. He eventually accumu- lated nearly 40 acres. By the time Tex was fourteen, every store in town would accept his personal check. And he was all of nineteen when he launched his first real business venture: a combination gas station and Chrysler-Plymouth dealer- ship.

Later, setting his sights always higher, he enrolled in Texas Technological College starting first in engineering, but switch- ing quickly to business administration- after all, the engineer works for the busi- nessman. He quit Texas Tech in his junior year and took off for Washington to check out the action in the School of Life. In Washington .he returned to college and got his bachelor of commercial science in 1937. His first job was as a clerk in the department of the Interior.

For four years Tex was unable to find that combination of business-military- political influence which he needed to power his ascent. When he did find it, its name was Robert Love& Wall Street banker and assistant secretary of War. Lovett was not just a run-of-the-mill Wall Street banker, either: he was destined to become-in the euphemism of such a scholar as Arthur Schlesinger Jr.-one of the co-chairmen of the American esta- blishment.

Highly impressed with the twenty-eight- year-old Tex, Lovett suggested that he join the Army (it was pre-Pearl Harbor 1941) as a second lieutenant. Apparently a brilliant officer. Thornton received his first promotion within 48 hours. A series of such jet-assisted takeoffs made him one of the youngest full colonels in the U.S. Army, at one point with as many as 2800 officers working for him around the world.

Like the-present secretary of Defense, Clark Clifford, whose military career had a striking resemblance to Thornton’s, Tex never left his desk. Yet the War De- partment honored him with a Legion of Merit, a Cominendation Ribbon with two oakleaf clusters, along with a Distinguish- ed Service Medal that Tex still wears on his lapel.

“It’s the kind of thing a guy would wear,” observes one of his detractors, “if he wanted you to think he had been a big combat hero during the war.”

It was at this point that Tex’s instinct for the Combination manifested itself. The federal government, with an assist from banker Lovett, had gathered, as if for Tex’s own benefit, an array of managerial talent which, if offered in the right pack- age on the business market, could com- mand a premium price. So Tex or- ganized nine of his subordinates into a team-later known as the Whiz Kids-and offered it to Henry Ford II with price tags of around $10,000 a year each on the nine, and $16,000 on himself, the com- manding officer. With Lovett’s blessing, Tex sold his package. Ford did not do too badly on the deal, gaining four future divisional bosses and two presidents of the company, including Robert Strange Mc- Namara who. was later to become-on Robert Lovett’s nomination-secretary of Defense.

A A

T THIRTY-TWO TEX HAD BE- COME director of planning for one of the giants of U.S. industry.[ Within only a few years, however,

Thornton’s ambition brought him into col- lision with his superiors at Ford. So he offered his services to Hughes Aircraft. Apparently, Thornton was not exactly wel- comed with open arms.

Noah Dietrich, then financial head of the company, strongly objected to hiring him. But with the help of two of Tex’s old Army buddies, Generals George and Eaker, who were on the board, Dietrich was overruled. As assistant general mana- ger Tex took command of operations and hired his future right-hand man, Roy Ash-a Bank of America statistician with no accountancy training-to be assistant comptroller. Ash had been one of Thorn- ton’s subordinates during the war.

Hughes’ business, especially with the newly independent Air Force, boomed. In 1948, Hughes did a total of $2 million in sales. By 1953, when Thornton left Hughes, the figure was $200 million. The biggest boost came from the Korean War and an exclusive contract to produce a special Fire Control System (a device to regulate the firing of aircraft guns). The contract with the government for the con- trol system was on a “fixed price, re- determinable” basis; that is, a price was agreed on at the outset which could be “re- determined” if costs increased. Based on the ongoing costs of material, Hughes received periodic “progress payments. ”

Thornton and Ash were very anxious to have Hughes Aircraft make a profit on this contract-a little too anxious, it would seem. According to sworn court testi- mony which convinced the jury in the

case of Steele vs. Litton Industries (al- though the judge suspended the verdict on a legal point), and a number of other suits and counter-suits, the following picture emerges :

Hughes Aircraft’s accounting depart- &m was unable to keep tmck of the costs under the fire control contract and began falsifying the affidavits they were re- quired to submit to the government re- gularly, stating the current costs. Thorn- ton and Ash found out about this, but far from stopping the procedure, they en- couraged it. James 0. White, one of the compan ys accountants, gave the following testimony:

Q: In substance, did somebody tell you that Mr. Thornton had said that, “We want to file false affidavits”

A : In substance, yes. Q: Who was this? A: Ash. Q: What did he say? A : He said. “Tex wants to get the money

3nd we’re to do it any way we can to get ;t. -=

Another means of cheating the govern- ment was arfully described as “mid- night requisitions.” Clerical personnel were called in after-hours and on week- ends and told to fill out millions of dollars worth of phony requisitions. Again James White’s testimony explains :

“They (the requisitions) were filled out by people who had no knowledge of the facts, who had not used the parts, who had not withdrawn them from stores. They were put into the records as though they had. They were made to look as though they had been proper. They were backdated. They were made to look as though they had been handled by factory people instead of office people, dirtied, in other words, to make them look old and genuine as having come through the shop. They were complete forgeries. ’ ’

Eventually a group of five CPA’S re- volted and refused to continue these pro: cedures for fear of losing their certifi- cates. When they told Thornton they would resign, he told them to be quiet and be “good company men.” They went to Gen- eral Harold George, nominally head of the company, but his position was that, “This is something . . . generally indulged in by other military contractors,” and he “didn’t think there was anything out of order. ’ ’

The CPA’s resigned after taking their case to the Hughes directors. But secre- tary of the air force Harold Talbott had already learned of the indiscreet manage- ment at Hughes and had given Howard Hughes himself an ultimatium: “Either change your management or sell the company. By God, I’ll give you 90 days.”

On September 1, 1953, Howard Hughes locked Thornton and Ash out of their of-

fices. By February of 7954, Hughes Air- craft had paid back some $43 million to the Air Force which had been “misappro- priated” during the stay of Thornton and Ash.

T 7

T HE LOCKOUT AT HUGHES WAS TEX Thornton’s 1uck.y day. For at the same time as he was being kicked out, there was a massive

walkout of disgruntled top engineers and executives, men who went on to found such stars of the conglomerate aerospace field as TRW and Teledyne. Tex managed not only to lose himself in the exiting crowd but also to take some talent with him. Emmett Steele. with an ingratiating personality and invaluable contacts in the Pentagon, was to become his sales manager, and Hugh Jamieson his top en- gineer .

Meanwhile, Charles V. Litton, owner of Litton Industries, having suffered a family tragedy, was ready to sell his small electronics firm. And Thornton and his team were on the lookout for just such a deal. However, Litton apparently regarded Thornton as untrustworthy and was reluctant to sell to him. At one point ’ he even broke off negotiations. Accord- ing to Litton, it was Jamieson and Steele who finally convinced him to sell.

With Litton ready to sell, all that Tex needed was cash to consummate the deal, and that meant a trip back to Robert Lovett’s milieu and the giant investment banking house of Lehman. Joe Thomas, Lehman’s partner and a fellow Texan, provided $1.5 million to buy Litton, in exchange for 75,000 of the original 575,,000 shares. Common stock cost Lehman’s investors ten cents a share. During the next decade and a half it sold for as much as $1.50. It was no doubt one of the best deals the Lehmans had cut since they helped finance the slave South’s cotton crop during the Civil War.

w HEN TEX THORNTON AND

~

COMPANY took over Litton, it was essentially a laboratory production office, a very mod-

est enterprise. After four years under the new management, Litton’s annual sales had risen from $3 million to $100 million-and that was just the beginning.

The traditional conception of the growth of a business brings to mind images of the firm selling more of its products, creating new ones, and building new plants to produce more to sell. Only a fraction of Litton’s growth, in fact, was achieved in this way. Of the $97 million increase dur- ing Tex’s first four years, for example, sales from Charlie Litton’s original firm accounted for only $11 million. The rest of the increase in sales resulted from the acquisition of some 17 previously existing companies and their incorporation into a new overall financial superstructure: “Litton Industries, Inc.” As Thornton ex- plains, “We had to grow fast. There wasn’t

time to learn a business, train people, develop markets. . . We bought time, a market, product line, plant, research team, sales force. It would have taken years to duplicate this from scratch.”

Buying, not building, was the formula of Litton’s growth. To understand how a small firm with limited resources -c&i buy itself into bigness, one must under- stand how corporate growth can feed on itself. For the very act of merger creates new power to merge on an even larger scale through its effect on the value of the corporation’s stock.

The value of the stock and therefore of the corporation is not determined by adding up the values of tangible assets: cash reserves, inventories, equipment, plant and so forth.

The value of the stock is determined by what people are willing to pay for it, and they will pay more now if they expect its value to rise in the future. Of course’ these are not just expectations of ex- pectations, but are ultimately derived from an assessment of the potential for real growth of corporate assets and earnings.

Expectations, however, are by nature intuitive, and intuition can be influenced by all kinds of intangible factors. Jack Dreyfus, head of one of the biggest mut- ual funds on Wall Street, once commented wryly on the subjective “glamour” fac- tors which have gone into making the stock of corporations like Litton highly valued on the market, by offering his own prescription for such a success: “Take a nice little company that’s been making schoelaces for 40 years and sells at a respectable six-times-earnings ratio. Change the name from Shoelaces Inc. to Electronics and Silicon Furth-Burners. In today’s market, the words ‘electronics’ and ‘silicon’ are worth 15 times earnings.

“However, the real play comes from the word ‘furth-burners,’ which no one under- stands. A word that no one understands entitles you to double your entire score. Therefore, we have six times earning for the shoelace business and 15 times earnings for electronics and silicon, or a total of 21 times earnings. Multiply this by two for furth-burners and we now have a score of 42 times earnings for the new company.”

The key to conglomerate g r o w t h

is the fact that a company s stock call be-and ordinarily is- the ‘mane y*’ that is used to purchast

another corporation. So a smart business- man can make the process come full circle. By successfully creating a glam- ous “growth image” on the stock mar- ket that excites expectations of real future growth, he can drive the value of his stock up. This then gives him new ’ ‘money’ ’ with which to buy real assets in the form of another corporation: in other words, his business can grow in fact and not just on paper, thereby confirming the expectations he aroused and further strengthening the image. And so the circle becomes a spiral of increasing growth.

It is a small wonder, then, that creating i glamour image is a major preoccupation If conglomerate managements like Lit- on’s Indeed, Litton was a pioneer in con- rerting the traditionally staid annual re- bort to stockholders into a high-class idvertisement for Myself.

Litton’s reports look more like catalo- ues from Pasadena’s Huntington Mus- um of Art than informational materials ram a major industrial corporation.

Abraham J. Briloff described it in the Financial Analysts Journal: “Litton’s .967 report is, as you undoubtedly know, r most beautiful document . . . which ;ymbolizes the ethics of 20th century com- nercial life in the New Industrial State. . . distorted in my view is the series of graphs most beautifully set to type at page i5 of the annual report. . .The curves which the eye is invited to make are optical illusions capable of inducing in- appropriate investment decisions.”

Another art which is employed in the production of a glamour image is creative accounting. This. important technique of the Big Growth game is made pos- sible by thf! looseness of the principles under which firms are audited. The usual methods are n.ot as crude as those that were used at Hughes Aircraft, but their zffects can be pretty significant.

As the pseudonymous “Adam Smith” notes in The Money Game, “Numbers imply precision, so it’s a bit hard to get used to the idea that a company’s net profit could vary by 100 per cent depending on which bunch of accountants you call in, especially when the market is going to rake that earnings number and create trends, growth rates, and little flashing lights in computers from it. And all this without any kind of skulduggery you could get sent to jail for.” An expla- nation for this legal generosity was given by the real Adam Smith, the 18th century prophet of the free enterprise system. The very purpose of government, he wrote, was “to secure wealth, and to defend the rich from the poor. *’

, ONGLOMERATES ARE SO OB-

G

VIOUvSLY BASED on highly specu- lative, not to say shady, principles that even the Wall Street Journal has been prompted to take off its

gold-rimmed rose-colored glasses for an instant and ask a few probing questions about them: how much of their growth is based on improved products and ef- ficiencies and how much reflects the attractive arithmetic of acquisition and the temptations of empire building?. . . Can they be managed efficiently?

This last question has an especially poig- nant ring for Litton’s supermanagers. In 1968, Litton’s second quarter report admitted a disastrous 30 per cent earn- ings drop (Litton’s stock price plummeted nearly 50 per cent at the news), reflecting nanagerial errors so gross that not even ;he most creative accounting techniques :ould cover them up.

The mistakes affected several of Lit- ;on$‘s divisions, including its business

furniture, Royfax duplicators, Monroe cal- culators, and its Royal typewriter line. But the biggest error of all provided the clue to the overall pattern of Litton’s debacle. The Litton shipyard, which had been accustomed to a rich diet of cost- plus contracts at the government trough (“Your chances of losing money” under such contracts, admits a Litton executive, “are not too great”), had for the first time bid competitively on a package basis for the construction of automated merchant vessels-a civilian contract un- der which you don’t get to come back for more money if you can’t make it at the agreed-upon price. The result of this mar- ket test was that Litton underestimated the costs, submitted a bid that was too low, and instead of netting a profit, had to write off a loss of $8 million.

In what must rank as the understate ment of the year, Fortune, after noting that the key to Litton’s setback was its inability to stand the test of the relatively competitive civilian market, observed: “The requirements for profitability in government work are less exacting than those of the private marketplace.” They certainly are.

Under government contracts there is a decided lack of competitive strictures. Little or no capital is risked by the cor- poration. If it makes errors of judgment, timing, cost analysis and so forth, there are no competitors to take advantage of its mistakes. And it has an enormously understanding buyer. If costs are under- estimated, they can always be adjusted up through contract renegotiation.

One former Litton executive with responsibilities in this area estimated that as a matter of normal practice, Litton in the course of production and develop- ment renegotiated its contracts to one and a half times the original price-a nice margin for inept planning and mis- management.

In short, its vulnerable, soap-bubble growth strategy could never have carrieo Litton so far had it not possessed the ability, though a small firm at the Outset, to get a front-tine position in the prims military contract game and latch on tc that secret fuel which alone can launcl space age corporations towards the moon, the financial largess of the state.

T \ HE HIGH POINT OF LITTON’S

T

CLOSE Connections in Washing- ton was reached during the reign of Tex Thornton’s one time subord

inate, Robert McNamara, as secretary of Defense. Thornton, who was often a break, fast guest at the Pentagon, claims never tc have talked business with the secretary during those visits. But, as the executive of another corporation in the contract field observed, “A clever man would mere ly let it be known that he was having breakfast with McNamara every other morning. When talking to procurement officers and the like, he wouldn’t even have to mention McNamara’s name.”

The subtle but far-reaching significance

of good connections was pointed out by the leading student of the military-in- dustrial complex, Professor H.L. Nieburg: “Officials in the lower reaches of the government bureaucracy (both civilian and military) charged with administra- tion of contracts, find themselves dealing with private corporate officials who often were their own former bosses and con- tinue as companions of present bosses and congressional leaders who watchdog the agencies. A contract negotiator or supervisor must deal with men who can determine his career prospects ; through contacts, these industrial contractors may cause him to be passed over or transferred to a minor position in some remote bureaucratic corner, some- times with a ceremonial drumming be- fore a congressional committee.”

But political strings are only half the story. More than anything else, it is the defense contracting system itself as it evolved after World Warr II, which has created the new and sinister relationship between the giant corporations and the state.

Following the profiteering scandals of World War I, which revealed the Ameri- can business had milked the American taxpayer by ‘ ‘ sliding” price policies on military contracts, and had spent the lives of many American soldiers by producing cheap, shoddy equipment, the practice of competitive bidding on government con- tracts was instituted to simulate the open market.

.

The two armed services developed their own “inhouse” design and production capabilities which served to measure and check outside performances. Under the pressures of the Second World War, con- tracting procedures on aircraft, ordnance and ammunition reverted to the cost-plus basis which had inspired the earlier scandals. Then a series of develop- ments after the war produced the cur- rent unprecedented state of affirs.

First, as part of a movement heralded as a return to “free enterprise,” plants, factories and facilities built by the gov- ernment during the war were either sold to private corporations, usually at a fraction of their original cost, or were leased at nominal fees to contractors, to use for military contracts. This largely deprived the government of the perfor- mance “yardstick” of its in-house facili- ties.

Second, the Air Force was established as an independent military service. Naturally, it did not have the already built in-house capabilities of the other two services, so it hired out the entire pro- cess of designing, producing and even maintaining weapons systems, instead of presenting its own designs to contrac- tors for production.

This necessitated a cost-plus contractual basis, since no prearranged price could be fixed for so indeterminate a pro- cess.

In addition, the Air Force’s prime con- tracting corporations, now responsible for complete weapons systems, had to esta-

blish, in the words of one Congressional Report, “procurement organizations and methods which proximate those of the government.” These prime contractors were thus in a position to force sub- contracting small companies out of busi- ness, acquire their proprietary inf or- mation, make or break geographical regions and decide a host of other criti- cal issues of national import, without even the quasi-democratic checks imposed on the federal bureaucracy. No wonder H.L. Nieburg has warned of the omin- ous erosion of public control by the giant aerospace companies and has dubbed the whole relationship “the contract state.”

\ ROM THE OUTSET, THE NEW

P , Tex Thornton team at Litton had its eyes on the really big electronic equipment and systems markets.

They were determined not to be pikers and they knew their way up the federal es- calator, but they needed a break. In 1954, a team of Litton scientists headed by Dr. Henry Singleton appeared ready to give them one.

He outlined a project for miniaturizing an inertial navigator and guidance system. Perfecting such a system was of para- mount importance to the military, for it would be the only kind of navigational system that could not be electronically jammed. Further, a missile guided by such a navigator would not emit signals that would disclose its whereabouts.

The military had already set out the objectives of such a system and various working devices had been produced, but they all weighed from 500 to 1000 pounds, too heavy for aircraft and missiles. Thus, Singleton was proposing an innovation that would revolutionize the field.

All that was needed to attempt to deve- lop the system was capital. Of course the Litton management, well oriented toward5 the new age, had no intention of putting up their own money, or of raising it through old-fashioned loans or investors. For to raise capital in that way would entail risks and obligations. What Litton really needed was a banker who would not seek repayment of capital (with in- terest) if the investment bore no fruit, and if the project should come through, who would not insist on reaping any return on his investment. Could there be such a banker? Litton thought so.

With nothing but a wooden mock-up of the proposed navigator and a ten-cents- a-mile expense account for its station wagon, the Litton sales team set out to sell a miniaturized inertial navigation system to the Army Air Corps. In 1956, they finally convinced the purchasing agents at Fort Huachuca, Arizona, to finance the development of a prototype. For its pro- posal, Litton got a fixed price redeter- minable contract for $214,902.

With the Fort Huachuca contract safely tucked away in their display kits, Litton salesmen then made the rounds of various other government agencies and

10 762 the Chevron

aerospace firms, stressing the advantages of getting in on the ground floor with contracts for the navigators while the opportunity lasted. In 1957, Litton con- tracted to produce for Grumman, the chief Navy aircraft supplier, 68 of the navigators for Navy planes. By 1959, this contract was worth some $7,400,000. In subsequent months, Litton used its new foot in the door with Grumman to sell them additional items, until their total contracts amounted to a full $10 million.

A ccording to the Steele case testimony of John McDonald, then head of LittonS electronics division’s contract negotia- tions, Litton’s engineers did successfully achieve the new revolutionary design. But Litton never delivered the prototype navigator to the Army, which had origi- nally paid for it; instead, it used the design to fulfil1 its contract with Grum- man Aircraft. All the Army got was a bagful of disassembled parts. In 7960, the Army purchasing officials canceled Lit- tons contract “for the convenience of the government. I’

As for Litton, it had won for itself a tremendous future contracting position for electronics and guidance systems in mis- siles, planes and even ships, on which all the federal giveaways on costs and pro- fits would be multiplied a thousand-fold. No longer a little laboratory but a real comer in the field Litton was now ready for a really golden opportunity: a major subcontract for the guidance system oi the F-104 Starfighter jet. And when Ger- many decided to incorporate 700 F-104’s into its postwar Luftwaffe, Litton bought two German companies just to produce the guidance systems for their version of the plane. Unfortunately, the Luftwaffe’s Starfighter turned out to be, in the words of Business Week, “an essentially American product that now bears the blackest name in the history of German aviation. ” At least 83 of the planes crashed, killing 42 pilots and forcing Litton to modify the guidance system. Some time later a further modified ver- sion of Litton’s navigator was installed in America’s newest fighter plane, the ill-fated F-111, McNamara’s notorious pet project and one of the costliest boondog- gles of all time. The prime Navy con- tractor for that plane: Grumman Aircraft.

r \ HE AMERICAN MARITIME IN-

T

DUSTRY had been ailing badly since World War II Even the cap- tive business of the U.S. Navy and

a big federal subsidy on non-military busi- ness (paying the difference, up to 50 per cent, between U.S. shipbuilders’ inflated prices and those of foreign rivals) couldn’t sustain sales. The Swedes and the Japan- ese had surpassed them technologically, and protective government assistance had merely allowed the gap to widen. So in the early 1960’s, the US. Navy, which bought 80 per cent of the industry’s out- put anyway. decided to act.

The Navy-then the last holdout-deci-

ded to adopt the Air Force’s “total pack- age” or “weapons system” approach: a single shipyard would be given a super- contract to design a ship and build a fleet of them. The extraordinary scope of the order would require the contractor to build a new shipyard with modern assem- bly line features unavailable in then cur- rent U.S. shipyards. And because the contract was for a total package, the contractor would have to plan every- thing from the skills of the crew to the maintenance requirements.

Long before the announcement came Litton somehow managed. to get a sniff of what was in the wind. As Roy Ash ex- plained, “We saw some developments coming and thought we couldbe a part of them. One thing we foresaw was an ex- pansion of the practicelit was already established in the Air Force and for Navy aircraft-of turning to industry for help in developing total weapons system.”

So in 1961, Litton picked up Ingalls, an ailing shipyard with $60 million in annual sales, for $8 million and an agreement to pay $9 million in debts to the Navy. In- galls got a number of contracts over the next few years-for one amphibious assault ship here, six cargo ships there.

Then in November 1965, the big deal went up for grabs: McNamara announced approval of a large integrated system of East Deployment Logistics (FDL) ships. These “floating warehouses”-perhaps as many as 30 of them-would be stationed strategically around the world, ready to move quickly into “trouble spots” to back up U.S. troops with ammunition, C-rations, tanks, etc. The FDL was the first ship to be handled under the Navy’s new weapons system approach.

Several shipbuilding companies were in the initial bidding for the contracts, but they all either dropped out or were eliminated. The final stage of bidding in- chided three aerospace giants : Litton, General Dynamics and Lockheed. Each got $5 million in contracts to finish plans for the FDL and the yard. Of course each, would need a site for its yard. According to the Wall Street Journal, climate ruled out New England and the steep cost of steel and highly unionized labor made the West Coast undesirable. That left the U.S. domestic colony of cheap labor: the South.

Litton, of course, luckily already had a location in the South, in Pascagoula, Mississippi: Ingalls shipyard, to be exact. But they still needed to find a way to fin- ance the new yard, which according to informed sources at the time would cost $100 million to build. And this time the federal government was not putting up the money. But there are state governments too. Already the largest employer in Mississippi, Litton went straight to the

lease at a minimal price. Governor Johnson called a special legislative ses- sion in order to pass a $130 million bond issue (the extra $30 million was interest). In October 1967, the bond issue was ap- proved by Mississippi voters.

Of course the people of Mississippi would “own” the leased-out shipyard, though they would not reap the profits from or control its operation. For their $130 million investment they would get an estimated 12,000 jobs, at Pascagoula wages and under special “long-term” union contracts (“yellow dog” is such an old-fashioned phrase). Litton also reward- ed its Mississippi friends by writing into its contract the latest in sophisticated legal loopholes to help the shipyard bosses keep blacks out of the good jobs for as

So they set 200 experts to work on a win- ning design, under complicated and dif- ficult new CF-CD (Contract Formulation; Contract Definition) procedures that

htv answers given on one-tier government liiiiiEJ

The people who are supposed to know the answers about the pro- posed single-tier university govern- ment were invited to the student council meeting monday-but council didn’t get many answ- ers.

change to a one-tier system. Brzus- towski avoided answering the question directly.

Interim administration presi- dent Howard Petch, chancellor Ira Needles and mechanical-engineer- ing chairman Thomas Brzustow- ski were the respective chairmen of the board and senate sub- committees studying the university government report. Their subcom- mittees in joint session proposed a single-tier supreme governing body.

A few minutes later Needles said retiring president Gerry Ha- gey had said to him, “Let’s get on with the one-tier government.”

Ireland asked Needles about the problem of corporate control over academic affairs and said if the present board members were so kind-hearted and concerned, why did they need a vote on internal matters.

Needles made introductory re- marks in which he concentrated on the role of the board of gover- nors in the development of the university. He said thev were *familiar with sources of funds as well as being good individuals or from good companies for giving funds.

Needles replied hotly, “You won’t get anyone worth having if they are just visitors. If you want the kind of men you need, they have to be involved.”

Petch said voting didn’t usually split in blocks anyway, and so students shouldn’t be too con- cerned about the number of re- presentatives from various groups.

He went on to say that several years ago when the university was having trouble getting funds committed by the provincial gov- ernment. “the board of governors went down in a body and oc- upi ed the parliament buildings and they got the money.”

Arts rep Tom Patterson told Petch he has seen block’voting- particularly in the 25-man uni- versity government committee where the three students where constantly voted against with only one faculty member voting with them.

Arts faculty discusses new college proposuls

Brzustowski’s opening remarks centered mainly on the decision by his senate subcommittee to move ahead on the one-tier pro- posal “because the university gov- ernment report was already al- most two years old when issued.”

Patterson strongly questioned the approximately 50 percent ex- ternal representation proposed in the one-tier structure. He asked why the proposed number was so high and whether corporate in- terests would still dominate.

Former federation president Steve Ireland ‘replied that the unigov committee had really only made the decision to have a two- tiered government last April, so it was only a matter of a few months old.

Needles said Patterson would have to wait and hear what the results were. He had given the same reply earlier when federation president John Bergsma had asked if outside interests would have a majority.

Ireland challenged Brzustowski to say what really influenced the

Patterson concluded by saying, “We’re not supposed to argue until the decisions -are made and then it’s too late. That’s the type of sincerity we’re faced with.”

Three briefs on the college of integrated studies were heard at an open meeting on january 30 of the senate committee studying proposals for this college and the

college of general studies. Philosophy prof Judy Wubnig

was vehemently opposed to a col- lege of integrated studies. In her report she says “The brief submitted by poli-sci prof Don Gordon offers us no academic program but only some examples of what might be included in the program. The proposal is there- fore a request for a blank cheque.. . . ”

Wubnig was also opposed to the role students would play in the organization of the college. According to Wubnig, students are unqualified because “one who has more knowledge about a particular subject than another person has at the same time more of the knowledge required

, for: a ) deciding what is necessary for another to learn. . .b)evalua- ting the ability of others to learn. . . c) evaluating how much others havelearned. . . and how much others know of the subject.

Wubnig referred to the success- ful educations people have been receiving at established universi- ties as a reason for exercising caution in accepting new educa- tional methods.

English prof Rotraud Lister presented a very scholarly re- port. quoting many authorities, to show the need for changes in the methods of education and thus the need for a college of integra- ted studies. Mrs. Lister mentioned

Rochdale college in Toronto, as a model, but did not propose any details for such a college here.

A report written by philo- sophy prof Jan Narveson was read by arts dean Jay Minas. Narveson feels it is unnecessary to found any new colleges in order to please students who are dissatisfied with the existing system, but that changes to make this system more flexible should be supported.

His report has four suggestions: I) to reduce the academic load of honors programs as well as general to five full courses a year, 2) to initiate a liberal arts program which would be nonspe- cialized and nonrestrictive, 3) to establish certain courses which are more comprehensive and cover a larger domain of subject matter than present courses do. 4) to start ,a new studies program as an autonomous unit within the arts faculty where “the kind of freedom from initial or outside structuring of activities envisaged in the Gordon brief would pre- vail.”

This unit would consist of five profs and 60 to 75 students, and if there were further interest, a new unit could be added.

There is a possibility that other profs would be consulted by the students, and might come to associate themselves with the unit

Arts faculty council, last Tues- day refused to approve of Narve- son‘s motion in principle, but passed it on to the undergraduate affairs group for consideration.

C ALLER: Ring.. . Ring.. . I Ann: Hi. This is Ann speaking. Can I help you? Caller : don’t think you can help

me...1 don’t even really know’ why I’m calling but I’m sort of depressed... you see-really I guess I just want to talk to someone.. .

This is an excerpt from one of the role- playing training sessions undergone by every volunteer for UniWat’s new tele- phone service. Hi-line.

This year, along with sponsoring small sensitivity and touch groups in which people may speak freely among them- selves about their various hang-ups, Counselling Services is conducting *a Hi-line - Help immediately telephone service.

This service is directed at those who have something bothering them that they’d like to talk about and yet who are not willing to commit themselves enough either to go directly to Counsel- ling Services for help or to join one of the other groups. For hi-line is run on the basis of complete anonymity-anony- mous volunteers and anonymous callers.

Hi-line volunteers are not profes- sional counsellors and will not attempt to operate as such. The role of the hi- line volunteer is that of a sympathetic and interested listener.

A hi-line service operating on this basis was started last spring on the Waterloo Lutheran campus. The group there was co-ordinated by Rev. Al Evans who organized their training sessions. he is a member of the Counselling Ser- vices at both universities.

Their service operated for nine weeksat’ the end of the term last year and” the lines were opened up again last fall. As Lutheran’s service has oper- ated with considerable success it was decided to see if it would be .possible to set up an office on the Uniwat camp- us to complement Lutheran’s service.

Posters went up advertizlng the advent of hi-line oh this campus the first week after Christmas and training sessions started on January 14.

These training sessions are very im- portant. Lutheran students have re- ceived calls from people who are about to,, or who have. already started to com- mit suicide; from people who are at- tempting home abortions; from people who are high on alcohol or marijuana or who are on a bad trip from one of the hallucinogenic drugs.

Often .it, has been necessary to refer students to those who can give concrete assistance. The purpose of the training’. sessions is basically to show what can and should be done in certain situations, what help is available and how to ob- tain it.

Contemplatifig suicide?

Apart from knowing how .to get help, it is also important for the hi-line volun- teer to know how to listen and respond. to a caller. For talking over the phone, especially to someone you don’t know. is difficult at the best of times, and in the case of someone calling hi- line. the first 30 seconds to a minute can be crucial in establishing a working rapport between volunteer and caller.

It is difficult to show the caller that you are sympathetic. actually more than that-empathic-without ask- ing questions. But when you ask questions you run the risk of leading the caller away from a discussion of his own problem to some- thing else which could lead him to de- cide that he was wrong to call in the first place.

one who understands-not condemns. Some other qualities that make a good

hi-liner-or indeed any good listener- are a certain sensitivity, a freedom from personal fears and an ability to express love easily.

Another thing to remember is that quite often what the caller first says isn’t the real problem. If he is left to talk about what he wants, chances of his coming to the real problem faster are much greater.

Also, should the caller himself ask questions. it is best if he is left to ans- wer them himself.

By answering questions for the caller. the hi-line volunteer risks imposing his own value system on his caller. It is im- portant, too, that the hi-liner not be judgemental, for the caller wants some-

However all the love, sympathy and interest of the perfect hi-liner can really do nothing against the root ‘problem% causing people to need to call in the first place.

The only effective thing our educational

system has produced is the successful

suicide.

These are the words of Roland Her- sen, Executive Director of the Kitchener- Waterloo Branch of the Mental Health Association, and his opinion is well- founded in statistical evidence. Suicide is considered the second largest cause of student death in North America.

It is also generally accepted that for every successful suici.de there are 6-8 reported attempts. On this campus last year there were 18 known either attemp- ted or successful suicides among 7500 students. This is a much higher correla- tion than for the general public which is estimated at approximately 8 per cent every 100,000.

The major causes of suicide are a loss of “status” and general depres- sion.

Depression often takes the following form in potential student suicide: the student is often older than his class- mates (there is a high rate of suicide amongst grad students-the undergradu- ate has often been academically suc-

cessful until the term preceding his death).

The peak time for suicides is at the beginning of the term, not necessarily at exam times as one might expect.

Also the potential suicide experiences worry over health, school, insomnia, despondency and concern about inter- personal relationships and social iso- lation.

There is one recorded case of a boy living in resilience who was not found until 14 days after he had committed sui- cide.

Hi-line can play an important role in preventing suicide. Statistically, it has been found that 8 out of 10 people who have succeeded in self-murder have warned someone about it beforehand.

For the most part people contemplat- ing suicide don’t really want to die: it is just that they have reached a point where they feel attempted suicide is the only way to call attention to the ur- gent nature of their problem.

One of the ,difficult things in dealing I with a potential suicide is the fact that the problem they are prepared to kill themselves over often seems insigni- ficant and unimportant to anyone not directly involved.

These people need to find someone and are often consciously searching for someone who will care about them per- sonally and who will accept their prob- lem at the level of importance it has for them.

And this is where hi-iine comes in. Psychologists have found that there exists a perfect negative correlation

between the number of a person’s social contacts and his suicide potential.

That is, the more contacts one has with a suicide the less committing suicide.

chance of his

When dealing with a suicidal person, a hiliner attempts to direct his attention away from the idea of suicide itself and onto the problem that made suicide the only solution.

This can be very difficult as one girl at Lutheran discovered in talking to a caller seriously considering suicide. In trying to arrive at a discussion of the basic problem their conversation touched on, among other things. travel and books.

Hi-liner: Do you do much travelling? Caller: Went to the states last summer ’

. . . saw the Grand Canyon. Hi-liner: It’s beautiful there isn’t it? Caller: Yes, I guess so . . . I felt like

jumping off. And later : Hi-liner : Do you read very much? Caller: Quite a bit. Hi-liner: Who’s your favourite author? Caller : Hemmingway. Hi-liner : Why ? Caller : He committed suicide. In this particular case the girl was

successful, and four hours after he hung up, he was in a much better frame of mind.

However, not all the calls received are this serious and any service of this nature is bound to receive a certain number of crank calls. The phone rings:

Hi-liner: Hi. This is Sue speaking. Can I help you?

Caller: I’ve got this problem, you see. I’m failing boat-racing 300 and liq- uor control 252 given by Prof. So&. The reason I’m not doing well is that my girlfriend won’t sleep with me.

Sue: Have you tried talking to Pro- fessor Soust about the problems you are having? -

Caller: Uh . . . no... sorry (hangs up). It is hi-line policy to treat crank calls

asLserious calls, working from the point of view that if someone needs to call up as a joke, he may really need help.

Often a crank call is a cover for a real problem. Such was the case in the call quoted above, which was actually receiv- ed at Lutheran last year.

About an hour after the first call was received the phone rang again. The same girl answered and recognized the caller as the one who had made the crank call earlier. As it turned out this particular boy was having trouble in his courses because his girlfriend wouldn’t sleep with him. This time the call lasted an hour and a half

The hi-line service on this campus will begin operations on february 16th. The first week the service will be run exclu- sively by the University of Waterloo hi-line volunteers. After that, Lutheran and Waterloo will take alternate nights answering the phones.

So if you have a problem, no matter how trivial you are afraid it may seem; if it has got you worried, upset and you want to talk about it but don’t want to bother your friends with it, call hi-line, for to be trite that’s what they are there for.

Besides if you don’t make use of the service, the hi-line volunteers, feeling all their extensive training gone to waste, will develop problems of their own.

Picture the following situation: Steven and Joanne have been on duty together every week now for six weeks.

The phone rings: Joanne: Get out of the way Steve, it’s

my turn to answer it. Steven : No it isn’t. You answered it

last week. Joanne: I know;but that was only a

wrong number. Steven : Ha! I’ve got it. Hi there.

this is Steve and I’m so depressed and need to talk to someone so much . . . . you can’t imagine how lonely it gets‘ hcrc and.....

If you want to call, the hi-lint numbci is 745-4733.

JP I by Norman Fadelle

Have you ever thought of Jesus looking at you? Not crowds. not people, just you?

He “looked at” an eager young man, and loved him for the obvious desire he had for personal goodness. But he also looked deep into the young man’> mind, to the love of money which corrupted him. And his steady gaze fitted his straight-from-the-shoulder words-“Get rid of your money. Give it to the poor, and follow me.” The money wasn’t wrong, the love of it was a dead load-like driving with the brakes on.

He “looked at” Peter in the moment of Peter’s denial, and when the big, confident, self-assertive fisherman saw that look he went out and “wept bitterly”.

He looked with compassion on the leper who pleaded with him for good health. The compassion of Jesus was so strong that it pushed aside his early training in the rigid law which said no man must touch a leper. He leaned forward, put his hands on the revoltingly diseased man and healed him. Most of US would be scared of infection, and repelled by the horrible sight, but the law of love in Jesus was stronger than these things, and stronger also than the law of Moses.

He looked with cool eyes at the Pharisees and Sadducees who spent all their spare time thinking up trick questions to catch him out. Don’t run away with the idea that this was just a mental argy-bargy. Jesus was well aware of the risks. These questions were difficult to answer and though he was well able to floor his attackers, he knew that the price of doing so was to double their hatred and fury and increase his own danger. Not that this rated very highly with him but he had work to do and he had to stay alive long enough to do it.

Yet Jesus could no more overlook shame and hypocrisy than you can. and he hated it more strongly than you do. The ‘squares’ of his day were full of it and wherever he met it he stripped it away, regard- less of the danger to himself. He could not bear the kind of religion which led men to stand at streetcorners, praying aloud so that passers- by could look with awe upon their holiness. Men who, all the time were soaking the poor and the widows while the Temple coffers were doing very nicely. He loathed the kind of mind that split .hairs over some trivial detail of the law and then made everybody else split the same hairs in the same way, till religion became a dead thing, with all the joy wrung out of it.

He not only looked at people, he saw through them. If he looked at you, what would you have to alter, or throw away?

Well, since its almost spring, I would like to talk to you about spring fever,‘commonly known as “the hots. ” Thats when the sun comes up and there’s no snow except in the PP&P garage where they practise snow shovelling during the summer.

I would also like to talk about Hithere. Actually I wouldn’t, but I’m in a rotten mood, and simply have oodles of space to fill up. (yawn).

The schmaltz was in fact just too much-the tribute to Dr. Hagey, no matter how deserved you think it was, was about twice as long as it should have been. Even Uncle Gerry would prob- ably agree with that.

It is interesting to contrast the farewell accorded to Hagey with that given to Ted Batke, who is vacating the university develop- ment vicepresidency he assumed after serving for many years as academic vicepresident. In a skit starring Batke and Lobban (based on Batman and Robin-hardly original) Batke got a lot of the jibes that should have gone to PPandP alone, since he has never had anything to do with planning boners. Not very friendly, FASS.

And in that skit was a more sub- tle piece of evidence of the decline of FASS. Batke and Lobban were not played by themselves as FASS bf old always did (even bookstore manager Elsie Fisher took part in a FA:S bookstore spoof in ‘67). They were played by those tiring hams Ken Fryer and Jack Pearse.

Therein lies the fault. No more is it FASS-faculty, administra- tion, staff and students-but rather FAPS- fryer, Adlington, Pearce and stooges. Only Adling- ton still adhered to the FASS code of spoof by spoofing himself in the dirty-old-man role.

Fryer, it seems, has taken over FASS for his own ends. While FASS was once where the students were at-spoofing everything but still pro-student -this year it seemed to be, for at least half the show, a poorly thought-out

oycrkill by l’ryclr 01’ student radicals. It could havcb been much more clever.

The Fryer rah-rah, go-Warriors- go, alma-mater-dear approach was evident from the moment you

entered the theater with its chau- vinistic trappings-two huge school crests and school-color bunting.

The theme was supposed to be ‘tell it like it is’, but FASS ‘69 was more like ‘tell it like we wished it was,’ with the slogan on a flag and the letters dripping with mom’s apple pie.

* * * Something a great many people

on this campus may not know a- bout FASS is that it is supposedly governed by a board of directors. This board is made up of one representative of each of the staff, administration, faculty and students, each having one vote. A representative of the sponsoring group, Circle K serves as chairman, and the director and producer of the preceding show are also members.

This group meets in march of each year to select the producers and directors for next year’s show. Ticket price-range, the method for ticket sales and number of performances are also decided by the board.

At no time were a private tick- et sale for faculty and staff, ticket prices above the dollar mark, or seven performances ever ap- proved by the board. As a matter of fact all these things were voted down as being unfair to either the students or the cast as a body.

The fashion in which the busin- ess end of FASS was conducted smells badly of the math & faculty lounge.

Midsummer /ilight is one of CBS best

The Royal Shakespeare Company’s production of a Midsummer Night’s Dream shown Sunday night on CBS, was one of the mo,st entertaining programs of this current season. In fact it ranks second only to Male of the Species with Paul Scofield.

Dream was released as a feature film in England two weeks ago and the unfavorable reaction to Peter Hall’s direction is most likely going to affect many North American TV critics. These people are for- getting however the difference between films and television.

While the many close up shots and economy of movement in the production may appear boring on a wide screen they are perfectly suited for TV which is a much more intimate medium. Television also has a tendency to speed up the pace of a film and therefore what may

’ seem tedious at the cinema is fast and funny on television (Providing that there are not too many ads).

Hall had the good sense to eliminate the fairies with gossamer wings and glittering tinsel of many stage productions. His spirits are earth people with muddy faces and torn garments. The dream lies not in the visual images but in the mind of the viewer.

His decision to leave the text intact also proved prudential except, in the scene where Bottom and ,his cohorts are< presenting their play. Alittle editing would have kept khe scene from dragging.

Miss Rigg in a small but difficult role succeeded in blurring her Emma Peel image and turning in a fine comic performance. She seems to have an infallible knack for turning the most mundane lines into comic masterpieces. This combined with her expressive face and body movements makes her a talent to watch in the near future.

Rogers as the aspiring star who literally makes an ass of himself does a fine job of satirizing that little bit of ham found in all actors. He flits across the line dividing cunning from stupidity with remark- able skill.

“These our actors as I foretold were all spirits and are vanished into thin air “but you can still catch them in reruns this summer. .

About a year ago Blood, Sweat and Tears was formed as an experimental group under the direc- t,ion of Al Kooper. His objective was to create a type of sound based on the elements of jazz and rock.

The experiment proved to be highly successful as ’ the group’s initial album ‘Child is Father to M the Ir .

Man” received wide acclaim from both pop and jazz ‘, , ’ critics.

Since then the band has undergone some personnel changes. Al Kooper was forced to leave the group ’ ’ . because of differences of opinion. Toronto’s David Clayton Thomas was added in his place.

Since the first album they have become increasingly popular.

This past month their long awaited second album was released on the Columbia label, On this album their jazz-rock thing has risen to greater heights. Already in the States it has sold over 400,000 copies.

The album itself is extremely tight in composition and the songs are well co-ordinated.

Their horn arrangements are imaginative and powerful. The gutsy vocals of Thomas provide an extra thump to the bands R and B numbers. Blood, Sweat, and Tears (Quality)

BS&T must be one of the first bands to blend jazz- tended jazz rift on saxophone. It again shows the rock and some elements of classical music. This is imagination of the group. Another great cut is And done in the cut Variations on a theme. The album When I Die. It seems like a western sound track at opens with the first movement and then proceeds to times. The idea sounds revolting but it actually comes the second movement of the same composition. It across great. It features piano and harmonica solos. ends with a repeat of the first movement. On the whole this is one of the best albums ever pro-

One of the best numbers on the whole album is an duced by a rock group. Its a must for any one arrangement called Blues Part II. It features an ex- who considers themself a blues fan.

Crimson Clover (Roulette)

then this album is for you. It’s called Crimson and

C/over, by Tommy James and the Shondells. Tommy James takes a great song, Crimson and

Clover, and actually destroys part of it. The band tried to go the way of the Doors and fight My Fire. ‘Their two minute instrumental reminds the listener of electronical baby crying.

They also mutilate another of their hits. Do something to me, by the same method.

When will groups learn that the reason their hits were hits wasbecause they were good? If a fan buys 8 their album with an old hit on it, that’s what they want, the actual hit. .

Tommy and the fellas really do it to everyone. One song sounds like a bad Beatles tune heard through a long hollow tube. The title of this piece of music nonsense is I am a Tangerine. Even the name has t the Beatles written all over it.

But in the whole album there is one bright spot. Its called Kathleen McArthur. Its a typical song about a poor boy in love with the rich girl.

The song is a good mixture of vocal harmonizing and for a change actual music.

Che Guevara, international re- volutionary hero, is portrayed in the play by Mario Fratti of New York. Che’s last four months are depicted in the Bolivian jungle. The conflict between Bolivian communist officials the conflict between the Bolivian government and the conflict within Che himself make this an excellent play. A man with ideals fighting against the world. Fratti doesn’t idolize Che. He portrays a true picture of Che with his faults presented in the same light as his good points.

This play is done by the Toronto Workshop Productions. This fully professional group has had gigs at Expo, Stratford, and various theatres in Toronto.

Cedric Smith, from Waterloo, is in the title role. He has been around the scene; folk singer in Vietnam, poet and actor, His portrayal of Che was given rave reviews.

George Lescombe, an experien- ced director puts it out on stage with experimental stage settings, rock & roll backing and excellent movements by actors.

This play should turn out to be an entertaining evening for radi- cals and theater lovers alike. Come and see what Che is really like. NO, he is not dead he will be hiding in the arts theater Feb- bruary 16. Che has rock and roll backing and excellent movements

CUDL spreads new techniquk Since 1940 the only student run

organization that has been active on the Canadian theater scene has been the Canadian University Drama League (CUDL). This organization which has at one time or another, had as members most of the universities in Canada now has 25 participating grousp.

During its quarter century of activity the league has seen many ups and downs. Howver, during the last few years its prestige has grown steadily.

While the most obvious exam- ple of the leagues work is its na- tional festival other aspects of its work are nowcoming forward.

The most important of these new aspects is the leagues at- tempt the spread advanced thea- ter technique and at the same time provide a means for various drama groups to communicate with each other.

In common with other drama activities in Canada money has always been in short supply and the resulting hand to mouth exis- tence has greatly hampered the league. This year ‘however the financing of the league has been a little more substantial.

As a result of this increase in finances the national festival which is being held at the Uni- versity of Waterloo, Feb. 14,15,16,

shows promise of being the best ever.

Dennis Sweeting and Walter Massey two of the foremost thea- ter men in Canada are to be here to give both seminars and workshops on the last two days. These men experts in their field will be available to interested people on campus as well as those coming from universities as far away as Victoria BC.

CUDL shows great promise of becoming an important force in Canadian drama and if this should occur then more of our drama students will remain in Canada to aid Canadian drama in taking its proper place in our culture.

Conference seeks solutions by IMartin Ahrens Chevron staff

Canadian universities may soon have a block book- ing system for bands, This type of system is used by a union of American universities in order to obtain entertainment at reduced rates en masse for all schools. If a band bombs, like the Supremes here, ’ the entire network boycotts them.

This idea was first proposed for Ontario by Joe Recchia. A pilot conference was held at the Univer- sity of Waterloo last summer. It is now going to be followed up with a mass conference’sponsored by WLU and Uniwat on May 8 to 12. All the Canadian universities and 450 American schools will be re-

presented. They will be entertained by the follow- ing tentative showcase of top line entertainers: Dion- ne Warwick, Dion, Simon and Garfunkle, the Bee Gees, and Eric Burdon and the Animals. This huge effort is going to need a lot of help. So if You are interested in assisting in any way to organize the conference contact George Stan, entertainment direc- tor of SUBOG at Waterloo Lutheran.

Positions are available on committees dealing with entertainment, displays, secretaries, accommo- dation for 1200 kids, food, transportation, local pub- licity, registration, national publicity, staging, light- ing, programmes, premail: and lots more exciting activities.

Bud&t better then a day at lh? &ags

fwfitt; starring Steve Mc- Queen, has to be one of the big hits this year, if, not for the poli- tical achievement of being able to close off many blocks of San Francisco, then for the excitement of the best chase scene yet in the movies (barring the Keystone Kops). ’

MeQueen plays a hard-boiled cop who meets a groovy chick and gets religion. It is by far his best role to date as it gives him a chance to display a little of his acting ability.

It is also a chance for him to prove to everyone that he is the wildest leadfoot this side of Pomona Beach Dragway. The chase, between a Charger R/T and McQueen’s sleeper ‘Stang winds its

way up and down the city streets of San Francisco and out onto the freeways. As could be expect- ed, McQueen does his own driving -the extras are NASCAR drivers getting their jollies on an off day.

In a morbid sort of way it is refreshing to see a cops and rob- bers theme that comes across realistically. When someone gets shot you know it. These incidences, while present, are not overly heavy and the total effect is realism. Blood looks like blood and death looks like death. It is the way that McQueen faces death that is interesting, though, for there is an obvious antithesis set up between Bullitt and his girlfriend. He is always unaffected by the sight of death. Always. It never seems to bother him- until the very end. At this time, the human being in him starts

to show up and at the fade out, a whole new show begins.

Well, it seems that I have five and a half inches of copy to write on this movie before I can go to bed. I don’t want to tell you any- thing about the story line because I’ll ruin a good story for you and I’ve thought of everything else that I want to write about it.

There is one more thing, and that is the socio-politico influen- ces that you might find in the picture. That is, there is a certain amount of legitimization of the cops present but I’m sure you don’t want, to read about that. If you do, read the features section and you’ll be more than satisfied.

Have you ever tried to make up stuff about a picture you liked and didn’t . want to spoil for i,. d others? At four thirty in the morn- ing? It’s damn hard. So I quit. Goodnight.

RULES . Start the game with any problem likely to cro‘p up in your life on campus

and proceed through the proper channels recording the time spent at stops, until you reach finish and gain a solution.

To win you must reach the finish box within thirty-two weeks (the most time any student has on campus) without crossing any line in the game and without crossing or re-using any path you’ve already used. By proceeding carefully from one stop to the next, certain steps may be circumvented tc reduce the time spent waiting.

Members of any radical student movement may jump a proper channel four times: once for a picket, once for a sit-in, once for occupying the compu- ter center, and once for threatening to do any of the above. In each case a wall may be crossed, a previously used path re-used, or a stop just passed through.

For extra excitement, moderates and radicdls can compete.

ADMINISTRATOR

These men abound in the adminis- tration, but unfortunately nobody knows why. They may be seen any day at five o’clock streaming out of the library in medium grey suits. Usually they spend their time preparing reports that will be ignored and double-checking something someone else has al- ready double-checked. Wanting to feel important and looking for any chance to convince others they are, they will take up days of your time though proving in the end unable even to tell you what the next step is, because they don’t understand the system themselves. Spend three weeks here.

ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTA’NT

These men are very important in the structure because they usual- ly serve as secretaries to the larger committees. If you don’t know why a committee secre- tary is important, you’ve never been to a ( rmittee meeting. and then read the minutes afterwards. When they aren’t taking minutes, they are preparing reports on committees or placing the files on the vicepresident’s desk in neat bundles. Wait here four weeks because administrative assistants are always so very, very busy.

1 VICEPRESIDENTS DEPARTMENT HEAD Department heads are very busy men. They arrive late, spend their morning in a committee meeting, take two hours for lunch, spend their afternoon in a committee meeting and leave promptly at 4:55 after having spent the last 25 minutes of their working day on the telephone to someone about yesterday’s committee meeting, the morning committee meeting or tomorrow’s committee meeting. They will, of course, be able to take your problem to a committee. Wait three weeks for the right committee to meet.

I Ghere are two types of depart- ment secretaries. The first really wants to help the students and will try hard to. Unfortunately

- there is little she can do. The sec- ond thinks the world revolves a- round her.

These men, sometimes many, sometimes few, depending how many resignations recently took effect, are the administration’s chief apologists. They are the ones who chair the study and advisory committees, they are the ones who bring together all the many different sectors into one small tight bundle. As they will clearly tell you though, they never, never make a decision. You will be directed to either a committee or the president, after waiting three weeks go on.

THE PRESIDENT’S SECRETARY

The president’s secretary is moth- er-of-the-year and business ty- coon all rolled up into one. Being motherly, she thinks students should be kept in their place-the crib. Wait one week to get an appoint- ment, and then two more for it. I I lem will be taken to the board. Se

Move on after three weeks dis- cussions.

L ADVISORY COMMITTEE Everybody and every problem has an advisory committee. Here the problem is fully discussed and studies of how the University of Northern California and Tanzania Tech are solving the problem are distributed.

L

- THE PRESIDE1 1’T’S COUNCIL SENATE

The president’s council co-ordin- ates all the committees every- where. Every one of its members has at least one advisory com- mittee. These men bring prob- lems to the council where new solutions are dreamed up or the matter referred to a special sub- committee. Finally, however, a decision will be held, up pending a decision from the budgets committee as to whether or not financing is possible.

Everybody gets together in the senate, the university’s academic decision-making body. Almost all final decisions may be made here; except if they require financing (if so you must go to the board of governors) I

At least two meetings are devoted to every problem before (a) some kind of advice is passed up to whomever the committee is advising; (b) the problem being discussed is forgotten in side is- sues ; or (c) a subcommittee, which will never meet because everyone is too busy, is formed to investigate the problem in depth. Wait here four weeks.

So after it has been determined that there is money to hire or promote faculty, here is where the job will be done. Except that the department head, faculty coun- cils, department committee, other professors, etc., will be part of the decision along the way, it is still unclear exactly how. If your problem will cost money or mean a restructuring of the university, that of course must go elsewhere. But rest assured you’ve found the home of the decisions the fac- ulty cares about-salary deci- sions. Wait three weeks and then move on.

THE BUDGETS COMMITTEE

Every decision costs money, money comes from the budgets committee. However, the budgets committee must know priorities for the entire university, so wait here two weeks and then go im- mediately to the president’s council for a decision on .how high a priority your problem is.

I I THE BOAR1 GOVERNORS

Your problem has reached the pinnacle of the decision-making process. Here many noble, wise and intelligent men will seriously consider your proposal (we know they are noble. wise and intelli- gent because most of them are wealthy).

If your problem is novel, a com- mittee or subcommittee may be formed to deal with it. If it is aca- demic, it will of course be sent

’ to the senate for consideration. Eventually-the board meets every three months or so-a decision will be approved, pro- vided some one responsible from the administration will recom- mend a decision. Proceed to finish after waiting one month.

The two Waterloo women’s bask- etball teams have been doing well. Both the Athenas and the interme- diate Athenas were victorious in their last outings.

The intermediate basketball Athenas met Centennial College from Scarborough on Saturday and came up with a 29-22 win.

The Athenas allowed only five points against them in the first half and had a 15-5 lead going into the third quarter. Centennial Coll- ege sunk ten points in the next quarter but could not catch the Waterloo team in the remainder of the game.

Meredith Smye led the Athenas in the low scoring contest as she netted 13 of her teams 29 points.

The intermediates will compete for the Stewart Trophy this week- end as they travel to the Univer- sity of Toronto. Teams from Queen’s; Toronto, Macdonald

ment. With one game remaining in

league play, the basketball Ath- enas are tied for first place with Windsor. Their latest victory was a 59-27 win over the Ryerson entry here on Wednesday.

Although plagued -by 27 fouls, the home team managed to keep the Ryerson scoring down. With a 28-19 lead at the half, the Athenas allowed only eight points to the Toronto girls in the final two quarters. In the same two quarters, the Waterloo girls netted 31 points.

The Ryerson zone defence seemed much easier to penetrate than Waterloo’s man-to-man shield

Bevie Stueck and Pat Bland gained 12 points each for the Ath- enas while G. Stevens sunk eight for Ryerson.

Waterloo heads off to Lutheran for their final league game on Tuesday night at 8: 30.

In a lack lustre game Saturday night the dribble and shoot War- riors came from behind to post a victory.

The entire game was marred by too tight refereeing. Fifty- four foul calls slowed the pac*e to a crawl.

Although the fouls bored the fans the Warriors needed their 27 gift points to win the game.

Waterloo took an early lead over MacMaster. The score was 20-14 at the end of the first quarter. The Marauders rallied and managed to leave the floor with a one point half time lead.

Things were reversed in the second half. Mat took the early lead and Waterloo was forced to make the comeback. With five minutes remaining the Warriors - opened an eight point bulge. They had to fight off a half-hearted Mat rally to end the game on the long end of a 69-63 count.

Jaan Laaniste played his basket- ball of the season hooping 25 big points. Stan Talesnick was close behind contributing 21 fol- lowed by Tom Keiswetter with 13.

The game was just plain dull. Parly because of the nit-picking officials partly because of the cali- bre of play. The Warriors will have to tighten up and play a full game if they want to finish any higher than fourth place.

Warrior Larry Sobol goes hinh to score.

wurriors win tussel meet

Saturday saw the grunt and groan Warriors locked in a strug- gle with MacMaster and U of T. _

Standouts for Uf?iwat were Houghton who won two bouts in the 130 lbs class and Saunders who successfully pinned his op- ponent in the 191 lbs cat_egory.

Final standings show&d Water- loo in full control with 60 points U of T with 17 and Mat limping away with 27 points.

Tomorrow the Warriors will wrestie U of T in a return meet.

Next week they scramble down to Montreal for the OQAA champion- ships.

Charlotte von BeroId

Charlotte von Bezold, psych 3, is running for arts rep because she is interested in problems of education and of financial priori- ties as related in particular to the library.

Von Bezold is in favor of the colleges of general and integrated studies,’ but would like to see the arts faculty liberalized. She feels this would involve less specializa- tion-a wider selection of fields to choose from and an interdiscip- linary approach to questions rai- sed in particular courses.

She thinks it is important that university funds be reallocated from such things as trees and light- ed signs to books, since it seems there are not enough for arts un- dergrads.

She also thinks that arts under- grads would benefit from a good anticalendar, and better counsell- ing in the form, perhaps, of a faculty advisor for each student.

Von Bezold also has some ideas for changes in federation prog- rams. She liked the orientation program last year but thinks it should be extended to a year-long educational program. She would also like to have only a few good bands hired for concerts, rather than many poor ones.

She feels it would be important to her as a council member to make herself available for dis- cussions with any arts students that had reasonable complaints. If a pressing situation arose she thought it would be worthwhile holding a referendum to keep in touch with the needs of arts stud- ents.

Charlotte van Bezold

Duve Cubberley Dave Cubberley, poli-sci 3,

feels the most important issue is trying to get people within the un- iversity community to start think- ing and to evaluate their decisions. He feels that too many people (on all sides) are just following and really don’t have any ideas of their own.

Cubberly has been on council for the last year and is running again because he feels there are many basic things wrong in the university community.

Cubberly thinks that general meetings are the best means of ’ maintaining communication be- tween council and students.

Although he said CUS could not achieve many of the goals he has as a radical, he thinks that CUS is a useful body for the students. He feels that there should be another referendum next fall preceded by a massive education program.

Cubberley thinks external rep- resentatives on governing bodies should be cut down but not elimin- ated.

Cubberley drew up the motion for council suggesting that 10 percent of university finances should be spent on the library. He is concerned about the library

Dave Cubberley situation and would support action on the issue if negotiations fail.

Cubberley said students should definitely participate in the hiring and firing of faculty since it is the students’ interests that are at stake.

Cubberley is running as a radi- cal and he is disgusted with the job done by Bergsma and his ex- ecutive. He said, “No concrete proposals have come from the executive since Bergsma was elected. ”

Larry Caesar Larry Caesar, history 3, is run-

ning so that a radical voice will remain on council.” Most of the experienced radicals are leaving, ” he noted.

Caesar is presently a student rep on arts faculty council and the undergraduate affairs committee of the history department.

With regards to CUS, he said, “It can be a radical national body or it can be a moderate parlimen- tary pressure group. It can’t be both.” Caesar supports CUS in the former sense. He feels another referendum should be held. “Sev- enteen votes out of 28 percent is not decisive. ”

The university should be con- trolled by faculty and students. “The administration should be what the civil service is to the fed- eral government. The board of governors, as it is now, should be abolished.

“I support outside representa- tion in the university if, and only if, it is representative of the com- munity at large, not corporate interests. The one-tier proposal of the administration is the best step backwards we’ve had in a long time. Corporate interests will now have more control than ever over academic affairs.”

Caesar feels the library situa- tion is atrocious. “There’s not enough books or study space. “He agrees with council’s demand of 10 percent of the university’s budget to be spent on the library. Though he has reservations about the effectiveness of con- frontation tactics, he felt there would be no alternative to direct action if the administration re- jects the demands entirely.

The most important issue now

Larry Caesar

is departmental control. Caesar expects to spend most of his time getting student-faculty parity in all departments. In addition he will support radical education projects, such as, the marxist lecture series and other speakers brought in by the board of exter- nal relations.

Mel Rotman Mel Rotman, arts 3, feels that

being a student is both the only necessary reason and the only necessary qualification for being on council.

And as a student he wants to have his say. Believing as he does in the total involvement of the student in his education, he will take an active line.

He admits it is difficult to guage student opinion and feels he will work according to his own cons- cience when the feelings of his constituents are not clear. How- ever he said definitely he will not represent the apathetic fac- tion and doesn’t feel he should.

He is in favor of complete demo- Mel Rotman Mel Rotman

He is in favor of complete demo- cratization of the university. He sees student representation at present as representation without information and therefore mean- ingless. He is also of the opinion this representation is used as a method of justification by the administration.

He feels the proposed one-tier structure cuts out some of the checks that exist under the pre- sent system as it gives too strong control to outside interests-who should have only limited control.

He would agree with equal say between faculty and students in the hiring and firing of faculty.

Rotman said, “The library sit- uation is “disgraceful for a uni- versity of this size”. He favors ac- tion if necessary to bring about an improvement of the facilities.

He believes CUS to be a dying institution, but feels there is need for a national radical organization to lobby in Ottawa.

Politically he terms himself a radical, partially-affiliated with the RSM.

Rich Hastings Rich Hastings, poli-sci 1, feels

council is lacking in experienced people. He believes he is the one to give it this missing quantity.

Hastings has been out of school for several years and became very active in the labor scene. While he was working in Hamilton he be- came chief steward of the local union of the United Steelworkers of America.

He was a delegate to the local labor council and was a member of the strikers welfare board. Because of his labor commitments he became an active member of the youth-wing of the NDP.

One of the big problems facing the students is the apathy they themselves exhibit. Hastings wants to reach his constituents at least once a week as a possible solution to this.

He feels the CUS issue should

Rich Hastings be put to the students again. Any organization of universities is es- sential for mutual benefit, he said.

Hastings expresses a feeling that the only way the proposed one-tier system can work is if all those involved with the campus have an equal say in affairs.

As far as the library is con- cerned, he is willing to go as far as is necessary to ensure a decent system is provided. He feels con- frontation is an important wea- pon in-the student arsenal.

He labels himself as an inde- pendent. He feels that if elected he would vote better if he was not aligned with any political faction.

Rick DeGrass Rick DeGrass, planning 1, is

running because he feels that he can do something for council. His experience goes back to running a hi-Y group.

He expressed a feeling that apathy is a large issue in this election. Meetings with consti- tuents are one way to solve this problem, he said.

DeGrass feels the one-tier sys- tem will only work if there is equal representation of all those concerned. He feels people from the community should be in- volved, but industry should not be the only source.

He is in favor of having another referendum on CUS.

The library could develop into a major problem but he is not really aware of the situation.

He wants to return to having many general meetings in order to provide students with a know- ledge of the situation.

DeGrass describes himself as being to the left but not a radi- cal.

Vern Cope/and Vern Copeland, psych 3, is

running because “there is a need for a change within the university. I want to be involved in bringing about this change and council is one of the most direct routes for acquisition of reform. ”

Copeland says a representative must keep in close touch with his constituents and suggests they take one evening a week for open meetings with students.

“I’m a believer in referendums on important matters,” he said.

He says students should definite-

ly have a voice in academic af- fairs and says the final decision should rest jointly with students faculty and administration.

All decision-making bodies should be composed equally of stu- dents, faculty and administra- tion. Control by the external com- munity should be minimal.

The one-tiered structure pro- posed by the administration is a step in the right direction if the majority of voting members on the new senate are students and faculty, he said.

He says library facilities are not sufficient for a university this size. He would support confronta- tion tactics as a last resort only.

“If I am convinced that channels are exhausted and there is no other way to bring about reform, then I think students owe it to themselves to use confrontation.”

Bob Sinasac Bob Sinasac, arts 3 and Bergs-

ma’s creative-arts chairman, is a non-voting member of council. He feels he is representing students in certain areas now but would like to represent them more tot- ally.

Though he wouldn’t term him- self a radical, he feels there are certzin revolutionary changes to be made on campus and he feels he has started making them in the creative-arts board. He also sees the arts society as playing an im- portant role in the making of these changes.

He feels the CUS referendum is binding at present and that the pro- per time for another referendum is after the next CUS congress.

As regards the one-tier univer- sity government proposal, at pre- sent it is not acceptable but he feels that through negotiation it will become so.

He would agree the library sit- uation is bad and would support action, in order to gain a more equitable distribution of funds for the library.

He also feels students should have a 50-50 say in the hiring and firing of faculty.

Sinasac sees the quality of edu- cation, communications, the lib- rary, CUS and the gaining of responsible student power as the important issues. He will support

. programs involving the arts society and the campus center board.

He says the library., student voice on how we receive our education and CUS are major issues.

If elected he will support such programs as orientation, anti-cal- ender, course critiques, speakers and general programs of educa- tion on various issues.

Cohen states that he has no political affiliation but considers himself to be a radical. He points out, however, that he is not a Marxist. He also feels student government experience will help him in later employment op- portunities.

Sandra Driver He is acting treasurer of the Arts Society, a member of the House of Debates. and is on the political-science union executii-e.

Sandra Driver, arts 2, is pleas- ed to see the decline of partisan elections on campus. She feels that voting for individual students is more representative and demo- cratic.

Although not experienced- in federation politics, she has worked with the student co-ops for the last two years. She is en- tering this election with an open mind and quite willing to listen to all sides through varying levels. The main issues involve improving the coordination between the many student organizations and more open-minded discussions with the board of governors over their one-tier proposals.

On CUS, Sandra thinks that the organization is far too political and requires some basic changes from within, or it should be re- placed by another national union. She feels that the referendum was representative of present

Brian Gordon

Brian Gordon, poli-sci 3, is running for office because he feels he can help fill the vacan- cies in arts representation left by the graduation of Sandra Burt and Tom Patterson.

He feels the experience he gain- ed in helping to establish the political-science union on campus will serve him well on council. Gordon was recently-defeated in an attempt to become president of the

PSU. He also feels his experience with the recent Epstien-Rawling affair gives him an understanding of admin-faculty maneuvers.

Gordon feels the apathy dis- played in the past elections in- dicates council should assume the leadership required to conduct campus affairs; a continuing dia- log between council and consti- tuents will result in a rapport that is needed to forge ahead.

He said a strong union of

Canadian students is mandatorv and the results of the referendum were much too close to sacrifice our ties with CUS.

Self-determination for students is prerequisite to a greater educa- tion and all governing bodies of the university must be representa- tive of the campus population. Community members on the gover- ning board must be representative of the community not just the present corporate elite.

“The library situation is almost hopeless if not ridiculous”, said Gordon, “We must insist that 10 percent of the total operating budget be allotted to the library, anything less would be disas- trous. ’ ’

“I have found that hiring and firing of faculty must be done on the course union level where grads and faculty have parity with the undergrads. ” he continued. \

Other issues he sees are the college of integrated studies, CUS, the roles of the kampus kops and also the university in society.

Gordon wishes to be classified as a left-liberal with RSM ties.

Steve Earl Steve Earl, arts 3, feels he is

aware of student problems and thinks the federation is one place to solve them.

He states that it will be im- possible for him to be representa- tive on council for there are as many opinions as constituents in arts.‘If he is elected, he feels he should be free to use his own judgement. However, he would make a sincere effort to keep in

touch with the general feelings of the students.

Steve Earl

CUS has a definite role yet Earl is afraid it is being destroyed by all the withdrawals. He feels that if student councils are worried about the political tone they should send delegates who can change ;+ IL.

He is convinced students should have a strong voice on any de- cision-making body within the uni- versity. Outside control should be limited but with a wider scope, that is, labour groups as well as big business should be repre- sentation. In keeping with this idea he is strongly in favor of an important role to be played by students in the hiring and firing of faculty, hoping in this way to avoid a repeat of the fiasco that occurred in poli-sci last term.

He sees the educational process itself as the important ;I :ue, espe-

cially in terms of the courses offered. Students should be able to decide the nature of their cour- ses .

He said it is up to the executive of the federation to initiate pro- grams and at present he is not aware of any such leadership.

Rob Fennel

. Fennel1 states the library is

grossly inadequate for a uni- versity of this size and should it become necessary, he would sup- port action.

He considers effective organi- za’tion within the federation and .its boards, the one-tier pro- posal, and housing as the impor- tant issues facing council.

Be calls himself an independent, At present Rob Fennell, arts 2, and said he should be open-

feels there is a definite need for minded about what programs more organiza tion within the he would support. federation. With his experience as co-chairman of want-ad, a promotion committee of the crea- tive-arts board, he feels that he can help in bringing about the necessary re-organization.

He recognizes the difficulty of being representative yet will do his best through talking with his constituents.

He favors another CUS referen- dum as he feels the last one was defeated through lack of in- terest, not through knowledge of the issue. Here again he sees the need for more organization and representivity.

Fennel1 feels student represen- tation within the university should be substantial but not over- ’ powering-the ideal situation being a balance between students and faculty with a token representa- tion of outside interest. In line with this he feels students should be involved in the hiring and firing of faculty yet is afraid that if too extensive it could lead to undue pressure on facu- lty.

Rich Lloyd Rich Lloyd lists an active in-

terest in university affairs and membership in the delegation to the Congress of Engineering stu- dents as his main qualifications for a seat on council.

Lloyd would like to see the retention of CUS but he thinks the union should reflect student opin- ion, even if the opinion is apoliti- cal. “CUS is not necessarily a forum for poli-sci types”. Lloyd views the service programs CUS offers as a good side of the union. Also CUS supplies a lobby for student demands in Ottawa; for that reason membership should be maintained. Martin Holmberg

Lloyd sees the one-tiered govern- ment as a great idea. However, of the budget was stupid. It was he feels faculty members should confrontation for confrontation’s be in a majority on the governing sake. “He feels they should have

board with administration and outside representation kept to a minimum.

He doesn’t support library de- mands for 10 percent of the opera- ting budget until the entire area of allocations is reviewed. He does see need for big improve- ments in the libraries.

The main issues in his view are: next term’s budget, council goals, direction of board of education and board of external relations.

Lloyd has been endorsed by John Bergsma but he is not hold- ing any particular political line.

Martin Holmberg “Every election, candidates pro-

mise to be truly representative. When they get elected they just goof off. This time its going to be different. I intend to really represent my constituents,” said Martin Holmberg, electrical 3A.

Holmberg proposes to maintain close contacts by actively seeking opinion. In addition he wants to publish a council news. This would include not only what has already happened, but also what is going to happen on council.

Holmberg was personally for CUS. He says that another refer- endum should be held. Seventeen votes out of 28 percent of the student body is not a binding vote. The issues should be pre- sented. Then, of course, he would abide by the will of the majority.

On democratizing the uni- versity Holmberg said he would push hard for changes. “The uni- versity can be a social research center. We should be a model for society. ’ ’

The board of governors as it is presently constituted should be removed. “These guys are on 25 corporations each. How can they really represent anything but vested interests. It is in our interest to have community-elec- ted representatives.”

He criticised the present coun- cil on its handling of the library situation. “Demanding 10 percent

Holmberg feels students should have a say over who teaches them. We should not, however, push our demands too far.

His personnal project will be to get more commonroom space for engineers. “Right now guys are playing bridge in the washrooms.

Bob Floyd Bob Floyd, mechanical, 3A is

more interested in seeing changes in the university community as a whole rather than concentrated at the faculty level. He believes in representation of the people and will follow closely the plat- form he is elected on. Floyd would do this by talking to engineering students and also their EngSoc reps.

He would like to have seen CUS retained, but feels it should reflect a more moderate stand. Students should be made aware of the many plans, such as the CUS insurance plan. Floyd feels another referendum should be held some time next year.

On university. government Floyd said he was in favor of the one-tier proposal but he favored increased student representation on all committees and decision- making bodies. In principle, the one-tier system is good because it brings the financial and aca- demic members of the university_ community closer together. Out- side members of the community

Bob Floyd

should have some say in the run- ning of the university, but not as much as they have now.

On hiring and firing Floyd feels students should be able to submit an anti-calendar on their profes- sors but that they should not be involved in the actual hiring or firing procedure.

Floyd is in agreement with the Bergsma platform, and calls himself an independent liberal.

Anne Banks, civil 2A, is running because she doesn’t like the way council is being run at the pre- sent time. Her experience includes EngSoc council, Village council and some highschool politics.

She stated she would try to reach her constituents, but only if they were interested in becoming in- volved.

Banks is in favor of joining CUS again.

I She believes the new one-tier system of university government will work only if there is equal voting powers by all those in- volved.

She realizes the library situa- tion is reaching a crisis and will do anything to ensure the students are provided with decent study space and acquisitions are in- creased.

Banks feels that students should have a 50 percent interest in the hiring and firing of students.

She has expressed an opinion that slates provide a poor stand

Anne Banks on issues because of the need of political alliances.

Anne Banks has no political affiliations but does express dis- taste in the way Bergsma does the job. She agrees with many of his ideas but feels that he will take too long in instituting re- forms on council.

Renzo Bernardini Renzo Bernardini, elec. eng. 2A

is running on a hard-line neo- anarchist platform. He entered the race because he feels the Engineering Society and faculty have an ultra-conservative fascist attitude toward meaningfui change.

His experience includes chair- manships in the federation, the RSM, CUSO and WUS.

On the question of representivity he said, “I know what the engi- neers want, but the best way to represent them is to give them what they need. I know what they need.”

Renzo would call for another CUS referendum if the majority of students wanted it. He personally does not support it because it is not a revolutionary vanguard as he would like it to be.

Student and faculty control of

courses, ‘with community repre- sentation (labor only ), faculty and students controlling administra- tion.

If negotiations in the library situation broke down, he would use confrontation tactics to the ultimate.

Bernardini wants student par- ity with faculty in the hiring and firing of profs. He wants a mini- mum of ten Marxists in the social sciences.

He sees unigov, course con- tent, the library’ situation and parking as important issues on campus.

“These are issues which stu- dents must gain control of, by any means including extreme con- frontation.”

Dave Parsons Dave Parsons, chemical 3B, is

a John Bergsma supporter. His experience ranges from his

acclamation to the last council to second vicepresident of Engineer- ing Society B.

He looks at engineers as a callous lot, although he would turn to them for reflections on issues that affect them.

Parsons would try to improve communications with his consti- tuents by frequent meetings with them, bear-pit type interviews and the publication of council happenings in a readable form.

Another referendum involving at least 60 percent of the student body before council takes action is the aim of Dave on the CUS issue. He personally favors remaining in the union.

Parsons believes the adminis- tration is acting in good faith with their one-tier governing body for the university community. The number of students on the body would depend on its size.

He would like a 10 percent cut off the top of the budget to solve the library problem. Further

Dave Parsons action would require consultation with the engineers.

The issues he sees as most important include unigov, the library situation, French-English relations and CUS.

He&y Older Henry Older, electircal 3B, is

running to give engineering stu- dents a more effective voice on council. “The former council got too far removed from the peo- ple. Bergsma’s council is no bet- ter.” He proposes to have weekly meetings with his constituents. If these fail he will actively seek their opinion.

In relation to CUS, Older said that a national student body was a good thing. He himself voted for CUS. “But CUS seems to be folding. ” If it wins its remain- ing referenda, however, Older said he would seek another vote.

Older said ideally students should have 50 percent repre- sentation on all committees. “We form the largest part of the uni- versity and we should have a say

Gerry Wootton Chairman Bd. of Publications

Campus Centre Bill Fish, civil 3A, feels many things are wrong with the uni- versity but that changes can be made within the existing struc- tures without confrontation.

He is concerned with the lack of communication between stu- dents and council and if elected he hopes to set up regular meet- ings with the other reps to talk with students.

Fish feels an organization such as CUS is required and he would support the calling of another referendum but only if it is pre- ceeded by a massive education program. - -

He feels the one-tier govern- ment proposal has potential and that students should participate. He said the number of reps stu- dents have is not that important and the student reps selected should put forward “responsible, representative viewpoints”.

He does not think that people from outside the university should have any more say than each group in the university.

Fish feels a bad situation exists in regard to the library particu- larily the arts library. He said, “I am prepared to take a responsible

Another CUS referendum \vouI~i prove nothing unless an intensi\c education program were instituted Wootton personally favors remaii- ing in the union, but would like to see it more active in pressuring government before problems arise.

“I’m all for the democratiza- tion of the university, but I wish the students would get off their asses.” He sees more awareness and communication as the prim- ary objectives in the forming of the proposed one-tier govern- ment.

Gerry Wootton

Wootton wants ten percent off the top of the budget to acquire more books for the EMS library and expand the facilities of the arts collection.

He laughed at the idea of stu- dents hiring faculty and suggests a program of evaluation of the* profs by students.

The quality of education is Gerry’s prime concern and he sees the board of education on the way to giving more construc- tive criticism of values. “Decent- ralization is an equally important issue. ”

He feels CIS does not repre- sent the feelings of the majority of Canadian university students. but thinks withdrawal from CLJS does not accomplish anything since we cannot reform an organization that we do not even recognize.

The referendum only proved stu- dent dissatisfaction with the recent political trend of CUS.

Campbell believes only faculty and students should judge the value and content of courses. He feels outside interests and even administrators are not in a posi- tion to decide what or even how courses will be offered.

He considers himself slightly radical but he will base his official duties on obvious student opinion.

The main issues he sees are

He says everyone connected with the university-students, faculty, staff and administration- should have a chance to solve the problems of the university. Stu- dents should have the largest bloc of power but not necessarily a ma- jority. The people on the pres- ent board of governors “should have a very small part to play in university government.”

He favors a one-tiered system of government but expressed re- servation about the administra- tion’s proposal because of its lack of detail.

Charles Gallagher

finds the one-tier system as it stands now unacceptable. He thinks more student representa- tion is necessary in various fields of government, but he worries that there are not enough capable stu- dents around to fill these positions. Gallagher thinks faculty should have the controlling number of votes on the one-tier structure with outside interests kept to a minimum.

On the library issue he feels books are more of a necessity than fancy buildings and sodding twice a year. He would support action on the issue if negotiations fail, but he does not support viol- ence.

An anti-calendar should be pub- lished by students of all facul- ties but they should not be invol- ved in decision-making on the hiring and firing of certain profes- sors.

He agreed the library needed more books and more space. He said students should go through proper channels but would sup- port quiet confrontation.

Charles Minken possible and work with the Sci- ence Society. He suggested he might publish flyers telling consti- tuents how he voted on council motions.

“I don’t know whether you could get a mass demonstration but the problem is serious en- ough to try it if necessary.” He

Bergsma’s educational depart- ment proposals and the proper representation of students in council and throughout the univer- sity. Campbell believes that if a student proposal is legitimate and important, it should be pur- sued to its furthest extent and pressure should be employed to achieve recognition.

He said students should parti- cipate at all levels of university government but “we can’t go to the administration and say ‘we demand’; we should work on the committees we have and show the administration we are respon- sible.” He sees 50 percent student representation as a desirable goal.

The administration’s one-tiered proposal is a step in the direction of more participation at depart- mental levels. He feels few major decisions are made at upper levels and that the new one-tiered senate will be mainly a rubber- stamp.

He said the library is very short of books. He would push the facul- ties to spend their budgets and allocate more if necessary.

Questioned about confronta- tion, he said, “I don’t think nego- tiation will fail.”

Minken feels students should be involved in the hiring and firing of faculty only to the extent of making suggestions. This could be done by student reps on faculty councils.

He criticized the board of edu- cation and said it should pursue definite programs instead of just handing out money to various

Dieter Haag Dieter Haag, grad German, is

running to keep involved in cam- pus affairs. He is presently John Bergsma’s vicepresident.

Haag believes students should become more involved in their own interests.

Haag is in favor of CUS and is disappointed in the results of the vote. He feels that if the rest of the universities come back into CUS, then we should follow them. If not, a new student union should be formed. He is not opposed to the idea of another referendum.

Bailey Wang on the board but they should act cautiously. ”

Students should have a say on committees but not control, Wang feels. Senior students are more qualified to judge teaching abil- ity and should have some say in hiring and firing.

Wang said that though the lib- rary is inadequate it is not a prior- ity. “Housing-is my main concern. Books can come later. Enrolment has grown faster than available housing. Planning is lousy. There’s not enough green. This place is so crowded it looks like an industrial area.” Dieter Haag

The one-tier system is accept- able to him. He feels students must participate in order to make it work. He sees the administration, faculty and students having an equal vote in the new system.

Haag is in favour of decentrali- zation, a policy that should be instituted in the next council.

Haag said the library should be changed in order to ensure proper student facilities. If nothing else works, non-violent confrontation should be used to achieve these means.

Students should be involved with hiring and firing of faculty members, but only at the grad le- vel, because of a lack of experi- ence at the undergraduate level.

He sees the issues in the next council will be decentralization, cooperation with the setting up of the new system of government and also helping to select the new administration president.

Bailey Wang Baily Wang, grad civil, hopes

that he can do something for the foreign students on campus.

Wang is an independent can- didate.

Gdshan Dhawan Gulshan Dhawan, grad chemical

engineering, feels the present rep- resentation on council of graduate students,- especially those of for- eign origin-is inadequate.

He serves on Grad Society council. Some new programs he

pects of university government as hiring of faculty, decision-making within departments, and a single- tier governing body.

He would support the one-tier proposal if it were controlled by students and faculty with only nominal outside representation.

Although grads can get books on inter-library loan, Dhawan thinks our own library is not sufficiently stocked, and he will favor any ac- tion that will result in an improve-- ment.

He thinks that the idea of a na- tional student union is a good one, and would like another referen- dum on CUS, since the last one was so close. Other ideas Dhawan would like put into effect are an anticalendar and a directory of research going on in the various departments.

John Stegman is active in the Grad Society.

He holds the opinion that if stu- dents have a real say in things then the new one-tier system of government will probably work.

He believes he can carry the meetings back to the grads by his ties with the Grad society.

Stegman wants to get back in CUS if organizational problems can be worked out and better rep- resentivity achieved.

The solution is to take a larger cut of the budget for libraries and allocate it wisely.

ING BUREAUCR N THIS TIME OF CRISIS, it behooves the hon- est individual to relate to the people of his nation, the full extent of the ideological value structure he has come to formulate over the

course of his life. Where this cooperation is not forthcoming, it seems in the best interests of the state to banish said individual to the farthest rea- ches of psychological exile, denying him the solace of personal companionship, the warmth of human affection and the Love of his fellow man.

It is sometimes said that sociology is a very inexact science and I have no reason to dispute that contention. But sociology should sen‘si- tize us to aspects of social structure and social behaviour, so that we can act more intelligently relative to the predicaments generated within human social life. At least one sociologist has just demonstrated this kind of sociological foresight. Professor Kurt Jonassohn, chairman of the Department of Sociology at Sir George Williams University, is my research partner in a Study of Family Structure and the Health of Children. Two weeks ago he visited me for a day to discuss some pro- blems of data analysis.

On meeting him at the station I tried to pick up his suitcase and found it unusually heavy. I remarked jokingly that he had apparently scraped all his valuables together and was fleeing 1’Etat de Quebec. It turned out that this was truer than I had thought. Kurt had brought with him five computer tapes to be stored here in case of trouble at his university. ’ My reaction to his anxieties was laughter: obviously this was paranoid behaviour. If students had taken over the sensitive installation of the computing centre they had done no damage to it. Now I am grateful that at least one of us had been alertsed to the destructive potentialities of the student revolution at Sir George Williams University.

It seems out of place to be modelling the university presidency while the university burns. NOW is the time for asking more elementary and more pressing questions.

Among the segmented publics of the university are the students. and it would be both absurd and irresponsible of me to suggest that they represent a homogeneous public. If there is an inert mass of dis- satisfied students, there is a vocal and active minority of student leaders who are driving toward action. What is it that these relatively articu- late people want from the university? Are they really addressing the focus of their discontent to the university as such, or is the univer- sity for them the model of the larger society with its inequitable dis- tribution of opportunities ? Such questions will have to be confronted soon, and with candidness, if the major values of the university are to be salvaged.

Most of us can readily agree that the despicable mob tactics that denied freedom of speech to Clark Kerr at the University of Toronto re- cently, and the mob actions that resulted in the destruction of corriputer equipment at Sir George Williams University, cannot and must not be condoned by any responsible public within the university. If there are to be haves toward orderly change, toward more humane centres of more humane learning, we shall need to be clear about both our goals and the means for achieving them. The latter implies that we are in need of rules to regulate individual and collective conduct within the univer- sity, as well as eqqitable but strict enforcement of the rules. Such rules must give assurance that no mob, and no minority of wild men, will be allowed to smash the all too brittle structure of the contemporary university.

It may be a structure with more faults than virtues, but it is all we have. What is more, it is one of the few remaining places of relative sanity within the society, and indeed it is the place from which we may be able to create models and means toward a saner society. Let the responsible critics of the university come forward and disown the mob. Then let us set to work to list our various grievances and work with dili- gence at plans for reconstruction.

In my next column I shall raise the question of what constitutes res- ponsible behaviour on the part of university teachers. As a member of that public I am justified to pose the issue. Not being a member of the student public somewhat limits me in raising similar questions regard- ing it. If I shall nevertheless approach the issue here it is with hesi- tation.

* * * Student critique of the university has currently taken two main forms:

the printed and spoken word on the one hand, and direct action on the other. In a few places students have opted out of the system altogether and have created substitute colleges.

Let me suggest here a pattern of critique that combines features of these preceding ones into something more organized and more’forceful. I am suggesting that students create a university within the university, that they make use of existing facilities when these are not in use.

This shadow university would operate at night time when regular classes have ended, and when more staid citizens retired to bed. If it seems cruel to suggest a double shift for students some of us will recall that in our own student days we would sit up until the middle of the night conducting our bull sessions.

Instead of a mere anti-calendar students might develop a shadow- calendar with at least two types of courses.

The first might be a re-run of existing Fourses in which students could reorganize the subject matter and experiment with different ways of in- quiry and learning.

The second might be skeleton courses on problems\ and issues cur- rently not dealt with in the university. Such courses would deal not only with problems of human societies, including our own, but with the very stuff of-the sociology of the university.

If this is done well, I suspect that there will be some curious professors who will sneak away from their night-time reading or even out of their warm beds to watch you cultivate your intellectual gardens.

This recommendation for a shadow university may have little merit in itself; it may not be workable for technical reasons; if workable ity may be unattractive to students; if attractive and workable, it may be incapable of fostering the kind of awareness within and among publics in the university whereby social reconstruction would be made possible.

What I have sought to do with this recommendation for student action is to draw attention both to the possibility and the necessity for making social inventions that will lead to responsible critique and to energetic reconstruction.

Drawbrrdge COFFEEHOUSE. Officials today confirmed that starting September 1971, all library books entertainment

campus center coffeeshop, 9pm now in the arts library will be moved to departmental libraries. All

decisions regarding libraries will now be left to department chairmen. This

move comes at a time when administrative offices are in need of consid-

erable expansion.

The board of governors has approved a plan by which anyone planning

to audit a course, who is not registered for that course, will be required

to pay a $7 admission fee for each lecture attended. Security guards will

be posted to enforce this new regulation.

PP and P announced a bold new solution to the parking problem. Since

the government does not give funds for building parking garages, the

north campus will be leveled, forming a unified university parking facil-

ity. Taxi service to the campus will be provided for all members of fac-

ulty and staff at cost.

The board of governors today agreed to the formation of a new college

of population control, bringing together experts and students in a number

of rapidly developing areas: birth control and applied genetics, media

control, and warfare.

Due to the pressing need for expansion of computer facilities, .the camp-

us center will be moved to a lot on Phillips Street beyond Columbia.

In order to enhance community relations, the board of governors

has decreed that Ho wie Pe tch’s successor as administration president

shall be democratically selected by the chambers of commerce of Kitch-

ener and Waterloo, meeting in joint session.

Does Bergsmu fek students, what about those meetings?

What has happened to the general meetings of our Student Federation?

Mr. Bergsma seems to fear bringing into the open the fine leadership abilities which his voters realized in him when they put him into office.

It seems the engineering build- ings being John’s “happy hunting grounds’ ’ have been burdened with the load of taking these meetings as a regular occurrence. How about moving these meetings back where they should be held, the campus center, where every- one can have a look at what Bergs- ma and his “government” are doing.

I hope that hiding away in a small room in the engineering building does not represent Bergsma’s fear of bringing our student government to the people. With the diplomatic capabilities po- sessed by our noble leader, he should not fear direct questioning from an audience, or should he?

Come on John, give us a sample of your diplomatic and political technique. You’ve nothing to fear except a vote of non-confidence. And who would try to do a silly thing like that?

Peterboro strikers lucked u basic undefstancfing-

A couple of weeks ago I went with a busload of University of Waterloo students to Peterbor- ough to try to get an unbiased slant on the Examiner newspaper strike.

-Overlooking the cold, the strike was quite an enjoyable experience. People from assorted unions. specially from Peterborough and Toronto added glamor by singing lovely little ditties such as “We shall overthrow ( the fac- tory 1,” and “We shall seize the plant,” to the familiar tunes of olden. golden demonstration- peace-victory songs.

Asked why assisting the strike, students pertly responded with slogans from the . Acme Protest Handbook. such as “we students identify with the worker”. Very noble-keep this in mind upon graduation.

Asked why striking, guildsmen responded with tones of cold hat- red for Lord Thompson of Fleet and his capitalist policies of which they knew‘ little. Actually, the strike began within two days of Thompson’s take-over-meaning that any editorial policy deteriora- tion cannot be attributed directly to Thompson (as is claimed 1.

After weighing the events of the day, I am left with the conclu- sion that the guildsmen are on strike because they want security. (They are only interested in the newly established Peterborough Free Press as a strike weapon and don’t give a damn for its pos- sible growth. ) They want a non- transferrence clause (a valid claim) but are on strike mainly be- cause they want the little green papers that only the government is allowed to print.

As for the students many lacked the wisdom to explain their pre- sence. After student withdrawal

from the strike, the Chevron quoted Andy Wernick as saying that the students withdrew be- cause they felt that they were being used by the Guild.

But-wasn’t that the idea?

FASS really sad news, where ure new ideas?

There are times when it’s a re- lief to know that a performance is meant only for “home” con- sumption. I’m quite relieved that most of the FASS audience Thurs- day night consisted of students, faculty and staff-so we can keep the sad news to ourselves.

It seems incredible that stude/tts ( of all people! ) would help put together such a square collection of jokes, reminiscent of the Rot- ary Club Follies of the 1940’s. Is this the wave of the future? Are we so devoid of originality that we must steal directly, without the slightest subtlety, from Laugh- In?

And whose idea was it to include a kindergarten recitation about

a baby about to be born? I kept waiting for the joke-but it got more lugubrious by the minute!

And whose idea was the long, bad pun on deodorants?

Some of the most exciting, new ideas are coming out of the uni- versities, and particularly out of this one. Wasn’t there one good writer on the fass committee? Or was he out-voted?

Clothes don’t make the man, well u little

Last Friday’s Chevron reported that the students at St. Clair College at Windsor had voted in favour of keeping their shirt and tie image. I don’t think that shirt and tie are needed, but I have to agree with their view that ap- pearance -makes a difference. We all know that clothes don’t make the man, but they do contrih!lte in a large way to the impression the man makes.

It occurs to me that it wouldn’t hurt U. of W. to have a general clean-up. There are too many slovenly people on this campus! Most of these people think of themselves as reformers, rad- icals or hippies, and since they re- ject many traditional values they believe neatness is not important either-consequently they have helped to turn the campus centre into a slum area.

Do these people not realize that their slovenly appearance and habits are offensive to others? Do they not realize that their message, which is often very worthwhile, is lost because they refuse to conform to the standards

of dress and cleanliness that most people accept?

To these intellectual slobs, I suggest that you start taking bet- ter care of public areas like the Campus Centre and the coffee shops ; and that you get rid of

your costumes and whatever wee beasties you may be carrying around. If you want to communi- cate with the average victim of “the system” here on the campus

or in the real world outside, try not being so revulsive to him.

A community of scholars, then all points of view

The january 28 issue of the Chevron notes that several pro-

fessors are giving leftist and radi- \ cal courses.

I have heard a number of people in this university say, including so- called leftists and radicals, that the university should become a true community of scholars. Who can argue with such a noble goal? Since this search for truth would, I assume, require dialog and de- bate on all points of view, I won- der if the Chevron would inform its readers about the courses on conservatism.

When and if we achieve such .dialogue with courses on both radicalism and conservatism, per- haps the graduates of either stream can find employment with the major political parties of this country. Those who graduate with courses in both areas, in a state of confusion, can perhaps join the ranks of the liberal mass.

Fresh planners challenge engineers to boat-face

I want to speak for my fellow select 125 first year planners. Up- on completing our 7-9pm labs thursday evenings, we have crawled over to the pub for the past two weeks only to find no booze at all or discrimination by age.

The cause for these under- handed tactics definitely rests in the Engineering Society who are fearful of loosing’ their national drinking identity to the up and coming superior “frosh“ plan- ners.

Come on plumbers, grow up- illegal tactics are used only by the CIA and the Canadian immi- gration.

Let’s hope we can meet you at the pub next time and who knows, we might even challenge you to an ‘urban sprawl’, (that’s a boat race in your jargon).

Month o/d news useless, where is our Chevron?

In the envelope outgoing stu- dents receive from the depart- ment of co-ordination is a small yellow card.

This card states that it must be returned with our off-campus addresses if we wish to receive the Chevron and other assorted and minor correspondences sent out by the university, such as our marks.

We sent in our cards on jan. 6 but we have yet to receive a sin- gle Chevron and any mail we

.have received has been rerouted from our home addresses.

We have paid our fees that in- clude the subscription price of the Chevron but somehow the news is a little less thrilling when its a month old. It is really much more convenient to find out where and

when to buy hockey tickets, or that the Vanilla Fudge concert was moved from Saturday to thursday before these things hap- pen.

The next time the university puts out a blurb on how wonderful the co-op plan is perhaps they should include a small note on how out term students are usually isolated from the on-campus activities as soon as they get 15 miles from the campus. And the next time uncle Stewart starts to bitch about the inefficient ad- ministration maybe he could take a look at his own wonderful sub- scription service.

In conclusion we would like to make one small request: get your ass on the move, we want to get the paper before we come back to campus.

Mail to out term students was delayer in January due to a computer breakdown.

The Chevron is dependent at all times upon the computer for its mailing labels and on the post office to get the bundles moving as soon as they are delivered. Foul- ups in both areas are common:

Given that the labels have been printed friday’s Chevron is al- ways at the post office by Monday.

The computer is of course dependent upon the students to report their out term addresses. Foul-ups there also seem to be very common.

German SDS produces left-wing Vuehfefs”

Do you really know what guy you invited. 3 Your last article

“German youth in revolt” needs some additional remarks. At first a correction : it is a common error to think SDS stands for “Stu- dents for a Democratic Society”. The German SDS stands for “Sozialistischer Deutscher Studen- tenbund’ ’ (Socialistic Federation of German Students).

When I asked Mr. Wolff in the discussion after his speech: why SDS avoids political involvement, such as the running of candidates, he * made quite clear that SDS doesn’t accept democratic rules. They want to destroy the democra- tic system and replace it by what? The arrogance of some of the SDS leaders, who liked to be called “Fuehrer” by their disciples, reminds me very well of the past.

What Mr. Wolff didn’t make quite clear was that there are a lot of German radical students who split from SDS because of criticism againt the leadership of some of those “Fuehrers”. The lack of support among workers is not due to the fact that there is no working class tradition in West Germany right now, in France and Italy fascism destroyed the working class system even more and nevertheless French students managed to bring masses into the streets, but to the very fact that SDS leaders are arrogant and talk down to workers.

If you ever visited Europe you will find that the borders between the classes are more distinct in West Germany than in Canada and perhaps you will understand what I mean by the word “arro- gant” !

From the fact that you inter- preted the meaning SDS wrongly,

I learned that you possibly didn’t know what kind of a radical “Fue- hrer” you invited to visit this uni- versity!

Ruling elite hypocritical affluent decry welfare

I think your article on ‘social science was quite well put. On feb 6 I was walking past an insur- ance building in Waterloo. I pass- ed a long line of Cadillacs, all

black and each with a chauffeur in his spotless uniform standing

by the door. ’ That evening I heard on the

news what was said by one of those responsible for this vul- gar display of ,affluence. A man was putting forth the proposition that welfare payments were one of the reasons for the govern- ments financial problems.

This same man grew rich by methods ~ bordering on extortion. That is, by’ means of advertising he made people aware of their insecurity so that they would buy more insurance. People must be made to see poverty, and fear it, so they will buy more insurance. Welfare payments are only wast- ed on food and clothing, anyway.

The government should not com- pete with the security offered by insurance companies. Insurance companies need people’s money so they can make tax free capital gains. Any man with a black cad- iliac and chauffeur will tell you this.

The people should be taxed to a maximum however. This brings them closer to poverty, increases their insecurity so they will buy more insurance.

Why do sociologists overlook the hypocrisy of the ruling elite? Are they pawns of those who hand them a paycheck?

FASS chorus vefy poised but script hampers them

Last week Larry Burko wrote an article concerning FASS nite. Unfortunately, because he was so repulsed by show as a whole he left out mentioning the chorus. This group did a fantastic job considering the material they had to work with.

Choreography and poise made up for the dull lyrics. Hopefully the writing will improve for next year so that the people who work so hard to put on a good show won’t be impeded by a lousy script.

with which our movement-and I say our-is faced. On

the one hand, we all feel, we experience, we have it in our

bones, that this society is getting increasingly repressive,

destructive, of the human and natural capabilities to be

free, to determine one’s own life, to shape one’s own life

without exploiting others.

quare KI me, IT you cannot buy the equal ana aaequare

space, how are you supposed to change public opinion, a

public opinion made in this monopolistic way?

The consequence: we are, in this psuedo-democracy,

faced with a majority which seems to be self-perpetuat-

ing. which seems to reproduce itself as a conservative

majority immune against radical change. But the same

circumstances that militate against democratic persua-

sion also militate against the development of a revolu-

tionary centralized mass party, according to the tradi-

tional mbdel.

largely immune majority, to that degree must political education and preparation go beyond the traditional liber-

alistic forms.

Action, not liberalism

And we-let us not only mean we here in this room, it

means all those who are repressed, who are enslaved by

their jobs, by the unnecessary and still so necessary per-

formances- that are required from them, by the morality

that is required from them, all those who are exploited by

the internal and external colonization policy of this

country-this is large we, in bad need of change, but, on

the other hand, I think we have to admit that in large

part if not the majority of this population does not really

feel, is not aware, is not politically conscious of this need

for change. This. presents, as I can see it, the first great

problem for our strategy.

Political activity and political education must go be-

yond teaching and listening, must go beyond discussion

and writing. The Left must find the adequate means of

breaking the conformist and corrupted universe of political language and political behavior.

Now, last, to the organization of the New Left. I already

mentioned the obsolescence of traditional forms of or-

ganization, fdr example, a parliamentary party.

The Left must try to arouse the consciousness and

conscience of the others -and breaking out of the lan-

guage and behavior pattern which is imposed on all

political activity is an almost super-hutian task and re-

quires an almost super-human imagination, namely the

effort to find a language and to organize actions which

are not part and parcel of the familiar political behavior.

What is alternative? The second great problem for our strategy-we are

constantly faced with the demands, “What is the alterna-

tive?” “What can you offer us that is better than what

we have?“ I do not believe that we can simply brush

aside this question by saying, “What is necessary is to

destroy, afterwards we will see what comes.” We cannot

for one very simple reason.

Because our goals, our values,,our own and new mor-

ality, our own morality, must be visible already in our

actions. The new human beings who we want to help to

create-!we must already strive to be these human be- ., ings right here and now.

And that is why we cannot sil_nply brush this question

aside. We must be able to show, even in a very small

way, the models of what may one day be a human being.

But the alternative is socialism. But socialism neither of

the Stalinist brand nor of the post-Stalinist brand, but

that libertarian socialism which has always been the inte-

gral concept of socialism, but only too easily repressed

and suppressed.

Now, if this is the alternative, how do we transmit it,

because people will look around and will say, “Show us,

where is this kind of socialism?” We will say, it is per-

haps going to be built up in Cuba. It is perhaps being built

up in China. It is certainly fighting in Vietnam (against)

the supermonster.

But they will look around and say, “No, this isn’t social-

ism. Socialism, as we see it, socialism is what we have in the Soviet Union. Socialism is the invasion of Czechos-

lovakia.” Socialism, in other words, is a crime. And how can we meet this contradiction? The two con-

tradictions which I just outlined, I think, can be telescop-

ed into one. Radical change without a mass base seems to be unimaginable. But the obtaining of a mass base- at least in this country- and in the foreseeable future- seems to be equally unimaginable. What are we going to do with this contradiction?

The answer seems to be very easy. We have to get this

mass base. But here we meet the limits of democratic

persuasion with which we are confronted today. Why the

limits? Because a large, perhaps a decisive, part of the majority, namely the working class, is to a great extent

because centralization today does

not seem to be the adequate way of working for change

and obtaining change.

First, as to the target: we are faced with a novelty in

history, namely with the prospect or with the need for

radical change, revolution in and against a highly devel-

oped technically advanced industrial society, which is at

the same time a well-functioning and cohesive society.

This historical novelty demands a re-examination of one

of our most cherished concepts. I can here, of course,

only give you a kind of catalog of such re-examination.

First, the notion of the seizure of power. Here, the old

model wouldn’t do any more. That, for example, in a

country like the United States, under the leadership of a

centralized and authoritarian party, large masses con:

centrate on Washington, occupy the Pentagon and set up

a new government, seems to be a slightly too unrealistic

and utopian picture (laughter).

No party whatsoever I can envisage today which

would not within a very short time fall victim to the

general and totalitarian political corruption which char-

acterizes the political universe. No political party. but al-

so no revolutionary centralism and no underground-be-

streamlined apparatus of repression.

lined apparatus of repression.

As against these forms, what seems to be shaping up

is an entirely overt organization diffused, concentrated in small groups and around local activities, small groups

which are highly flexible and autonomous. The left is split!

The Left has always been split! Only the right, which has

no ideas to fight for, is united! (much laughter).

Now the strength of the New Left may well reside

in precisely these small contesting and competing

groups, active at many points at the same time, a kind of

diffuse and dispersed disintegration of the system, in

and regional areas. The second concept that should be re-examined is the

role of the working class. And here I would like to say a few words to one of the most defamed notions today,

namely the concept of the new working class. I know

what can be” said against it, and what has been said a- gainst it. It seems to me that the concept of the new wor- king class simply comprehends and anticipates tenden-

cies that are going on before our own eyes in the mater- ial process of production in capitalism, namely that more and more highly qualified salaried employees, technici- ans, specialists, and so on, occupy a decisive position in the material process of production.

And even in orthodox Marxian terms, just in this way become members of the industrial working class. What we see, I submit to you, is an extension of the potential mass base over and beyond the traditional industrial working class to the new working classes that extend the range of the exploited.

Now this extension, which indicates a large but very diffuse and dispersed mass base, changes the relation- ship between what we may call leading minorities or cadres of the left, politically militant, and the mass.

Small groups would be concentrated on the level of

local activities, thereby foreshadowing what may in all

likelihood be the basic organization of libertarian social-

ism -namely councils of small manual and intellectual

workers, soviets, if one can still use the term and does not think of what actually happened to the Soviets; some kind of what I would like to call organized spontaneity.

Let me come to the summary of the perspectives for the New Left. I believe, and this is not a confession of faith, I think this is at least to a great extent based on what you may call an analysis of the facts. I believe that the New Left today is the only hope we have. Its task-to prepare itself and the others, not to wait or to prepare today, yesterday and tomorrow, in thought and in action, morally and politically for the time when the aggravating ’ conflicts of corporate capitalism dissolve its repressive cobesion and open a space where the real work for liber- tarian socialism can begin. The prospects for the next

year, the prospects for the New Left are good if the New Left can only sustain its present activity. There are al- ways periods of regression. No movement can progress at the same pace; sustaining our activity would already be a success.
