Health Services

ent needs suffer torship postponed

by Hilda Eastern chevron staff

Are student needs being met by delaying the hiring of a full-time director for health services?

In the spring of last year, the health services committee com- posed of appointed and ex-officio members with nine student rep- resentatives, considered the possibility of hiring a full-time director.

Pat Robertson, director of aca- demic services and then chairman

I of the committee, investigated and found the full-time director- ship financially feasible.

A full-time director would work a full 40 hour week doing admin- istration and attending meetings.

The remaining time would be spent on medical practice within the health services.

A reliable source suggests a full-time director would have the time to implement further liason and communication between pre- sent services.

This would compliment and broaden the services available to students and meet the needs more adequately.

Helen Reesor who was director at the time of the proposal, then offered to increase her hours to three hours daily at the begin- ning of September and then to four hours during the school term.

Subsequently, some committee members received a memoran- dum from Robertson recommend- ing Reesor as director.

The memo was set prior to the committee’s consideration of Reesor’s suggestion.

The committee decided to keep her as director and to open the

directorship next year. Reliable sources say she has

only sometimes met her hourly committment.

Ron Eydt, warden of the village said Reesor had often been on call after hours.

There has been some question as to the availability of a qualified practitioner, for the directorship.

Guelph university had twenty- two applicants to its advertising of a full-time director.

Two of the following sources suggest some direction :

l The health services commit- tee of the student council on april 22, 1963, said, “The policies (gen- eral) adopted from this report (recommending the need of a health services) will change as the need arises. ”

l Dana L. Fransworth, direc- tor of the university health ser- vices of Harvard university sug- gested a “social worker in charge of its student health services...”

“....For this person has the in- sight and intuition for dealing ef- fectively with students, meeting with members of the faculty and administration, and for interpret- ing what is taking place far better than any of our non-psychiatric physicians.

This has tended to improve the communication among the various branches of the university. ”

Reesor sees her duties as di- rector as, “doing spot checks on physicians, administering the budget and treating critical ill- nesses in the infirmary. ”

She cited the hypothetical ex- ample of a student coming down with the flu and a director trying to trace it to prevent further in- fection.

She said students might see this

as interfering and paternalism. Among the committee’s terms

of reference is “to recommend to the medical director on gen- eral policy matter regarding the operation, staffing, equipment and physical resources of the health services, and on appropriate pro- grams of health information, ed- ucation and preventive treatment for the university community.”

From the committee came a policy of “sick” and “well” to determine who would get treat- ed.

People who may have wanted the pill or a physical, fell under the category of “well” and weren’t treated\. .

“Group insurance now covers costs for doctor’s fees specifically for prescribing birth control de- vices and examinations,” said Robertson.

The policy of “well” has since altered. Two doctors have been added to the staff who specifical- ly deal with physicals and birth control information, examinations and prescription of devices.

Appointments of the latter, Dr. W. Nurse, a gynaecologist, have been booked till december at health services.

How many girls are going to get pregnant waiting for this token service?

Bad drug trips will be treated only in the day time when a doc- tor is on duty.

University lawyers suggested the university would be legally responsible for anything which may go wrong when no doctor is present.

The suggested use of local hos- pitals is out of the question. Since when, has the K-W hospital been receptive to bad drug trips?

An unidentified university of Waterloo student was involved in an accident early friday after- noon. While crossing the tracks at University avenue, the car she was driving was struck by the Elmiry express and carried five hundred feet down the tracks. s

A syn thesizer, a generalist is the answer to inter-disciplinary ed- ucation according to Burton Claire Matthews, administration president. He spoke at convocation last friday afternoon,

500 convocate Amidst great pomp and cir-

cumstance 500 students received their degrees from the university on friday afternoon. At the same time Burt Matthews was installed as president and vice-chancellor of the university. Former presi- dent Gerry Hagey was installed as president emeritus.

In his convocation address, Burt Matthews outlined the uni- versity’s areas of concern for the seventies. Autonomy was one of these problems. As the major funding .agency of the university, the government is now in a posi- tion to dictate university policy in the name of the general public. So far the government has only demanded the right to approve the establishment of new pro- grams. The question of who will teach what, how it will be taught and to whom is still determined by the university.

However this last vestige of university autonomy could be taken from the university if it does not justify the allocation of its resources to the general public.

Another area of concern men- tioned by Matthews was the ad- ministration of the university. The role of the administration is

to provide and maintain the op- timal environment for learning in which the faculty can teach and do research and the students can learn. Decision-making in such an environment must come from a meaningful relationship among the several parts of the university. This relationship is needed to give the university a wholeness in the academic matrix.

This wholeness is threatened by the way the university is frac- tured into disciplines. Each pro- fessor relates to the members of his own discipline and not to the members of other disciplines within the university. Matthews suggested that the university-solve this problem by creating a new type of professional for our soci- ety - a generalizer, a synthesizer capable of transferring ideas from one field to another, cap- able of functioning across dis- ciplinary and professional lines.

In this way the university could come closer to the community and would be more capable of taking on the job of continuing education and re-education, especially of those older students who will be coming to the university in the future.

Printing co-op to be established HALIFAX (CUP) - Talks are

now under way for the establish- ment of a co-operative print shop somewhere in the Maritimes to combat attempts by printers to censor news of the Quebec struggle.

University papers who normal- ly print at the Dartmouth Free Press-the name has nothing to do with the ideology-have been severely censored in the past week by the shop’s owner John Nesbitt. ;

Both the Dalhousie Gazette and the St. Mary’s Journal have been forced to leave blank spaces in their newspaper’s latest edi- tions when’ the printer refused to publish copy dealing with

events in Quebec. The Gazette appeared yester-

day with a blank front page after Nesbitt refused to print three stories that appeared originally in the Montreal Star-not known as a heavily radical or anti- government newspaper.

A spokesman for the Gazette staff said discussions are now going on between Atlantic region newspapers to see what can be done to establish a co-operative print shop where all papers will be guaranteed that the copy they decide to- print will go in their papers.

The journal came back from the Nesbitt print shop last week with a rather large hole on page

3 after the printer decided on his own not to print stories from Canadian university press.

Nesbitt did not inform the journal staff that he was not printing the articles. They (the journal) intend to see what legal action can be taken against the printer.

In Newfoundland, the muse was printed only after a call to the federal justice department to get clearance of copy dealing with the Quebec struggle.

The Squash Club is holding a Squash Night on thursday. At 5:30, Barney Lawrence of the K-W Racket Club will give squash instruction and play with some students.

In Prince Edward Is- land, the cadre at the university of PEI reported this weekend that much of the copy they want- ed to run in their paper would probably not be allowed by thnir nrintar

There is a general meeting of the Squash Club at 7:00 and at 7:45, the ‘A’ and ‘B’ finals of the open Squash Tournament will be played. At 8:30, another instruc- tional clinic will be given by Sandy Morgan of the K-W v

THE CHAIRS Eugene Ionesco’s style in most

of his plays produces a certain kind of humour, and The Chairs, performed to an almost capac- ity audience in the arts theatre last Wednesday wasn’t an ex- ception.

All of Ionesco’s techniques of producing humour, the illogical- ity, the exaggeration and benal- ity were displayed competently by the two main players, Betty Trott, as the old woman and Carl Gall, portraying her husband.

The play depicts a banality which is accepted as normal in the world but which Ionesco feels is unreal.

The old couple, sitting at home, are going through the evening routine which they have prac- tised for seventy years. The familiar story which-the husband is nightly forced to tell illicits

-first hysteria then tears at his inability to give the world his philosophy of life before he dies. But this night is different.

He has arranged for everyone of any importance and of no im- portance to attend a meeting where the great orator will relate the old man’s deepest thoughts.

Thus begins a play of gestures to noone, bells that announce the arrival of noone, doors that open and close to nothing, conversa- tions with empty chairs. Squash night

The strange actions and nor- mal responses which make up the play- come together to form an illogical world which has its own uncomfortable and myster- ious logic.

There is a feeling that if Iones- co could have created a play with no characters he would - have done so for his ‘real’ actors are no more or less real than their en- tourage of invisible ones.

This is not to say that acting abilities were lacking in this play for they are not. The rhythm characteristic of Iones- co, the hustle and bustle head- ing nowhere, was brought off well in the ‘ballet of chairs.’

It is a play of movement and the players pantomimed with skill.

When at last the orator ap- peared there was hope that he could explain all the old couple’s fantastic actions throughout; whether it be madness, hallucina- tions or just fond memories re- lived.

But he is incapable and the absurdity and unimportance of the whole play then, becomes ap- , parent as, it seems to say, may life in the moment of death.

This play was perhaps the best of the noontime drama ser- ies ever performed.

The myth of separating authority in science from authority in pe@. by Bill Livant

D 0 YOU CARE FOR your brain? If not, stop reading. If you keep on, you know

that people today are both excited and frightened by science. Some people think science will help us to heaven on earth, others think it will help us to hell. Why-are there such contradictory views?

The main reason is because most of the people who run science tell us it is neither good nor bad. For example, one man who cares a lot about brains is Jose Delgado. He stimulates them with elec- trodes to control behavior. You can look him up in the text, Mc- Keachie and Doyle. In a recent book, Delgado lays it on: science itself is very powerful but it is neither good nor bad. Like a knife, it can be used by a surgeon to heal or by an assassin to kill. This is the most common view on campus, too. Ask around the faculty.

This view says that science works very differently from the way ordinary people work. Among us, where does authority come from to decide what happens and what doesn’t? From real power among people ; from love, money, force. But not, supposedly, in sci-

ence. In science it comes only from a special method. McKea- chic and Doyle tell us right off.

In science, authority comes only from factual evidence deriv- ed from systematic repeatable ob- servation (~3)

So scientists must get facts, they must make observations, or there is no authority in science at all. In order to get facts, scientific psychologists must observe some- one. Like who? Like YOU. Don’t you have to be a subject in a psy- chological experiment? Isn’t it a- course requirement? To be a sub- ject means to give or sell facts.

When you do you get $5. And if you don’t.... ? Now where did the authority come from for that? Where did the authority come from for the essence of authority in science? Not from all that stuff in McKeachie and Doyle. It comes from real power among- real people. Just like anything else.

Look how McKeachie and Doyle drum up authority for their own statement. They put it in italics; its the only sentence in the chapter in italics. And the book costs a lot. That’s impressive. But there’s something worse. On

pages 2-3 they contrast science with all those forms of pre-scientif- ic thought. What was the trouble with them? Unlike science, they were “offered without any means for resolving the differences.” Look at all those poor guys with their pitiful proverbs on page 2. But suppose you were to say you won’t be subjects in experiments whose purposes you don’t help to determine, and whose human val- ue has not been justified. Then the differences would be fought out, just like any other human prob- lem. To give or sell facts just “for science” is the worst possible reason. For what is science?

Where there is real struggle in the world there will be real con- flict in scientific psychology, and where there’s not, somebody is making a mystery. Like Mc- Keachie and Doyle. They try to separate authority in science from authority in people.

No wonder, to anyone who swallows it, science appears a powerful but neutral thing. No wonder the contradictory hopes and fears. The people who run things have the hopes, the people who suffer them have the fears.

We need some idea of psy- chology that allows us to ask how these mysteries are made. For a start I suggest that today Psy- chology is an industry whose products are people. In an industry there are tools, maps, plans, raw materials, products. There are also . . . and most important . . . real people who work in it, real people who run it and set the problems. I am a worker in this industry; so is your instructor.

Subjects are the raw materials, just like potash. Whom do we work for, and why ? Is this industry , making good things or garbage, or both? You won’t find a word of this in McKeachie and Doyle when, in the last chapter, they come to Psychology in Todays World. As it was in the beginning, so it is in the end. But you’ll have to find out for yourselves if you care for your brain.

Bill Livant teaches psychology at the university of Saskatchewan at Regina. This article was originally published in the Carillon.
