THIS STORY IS _A HOAX L'INVENTION DU GEORGIAN

The Georgian's Tuesday December 3rd edition published a report that Sir George Williams University would be renamed Daniel Johnson University as a second French language university in Montreal.

Details included three stories that included a "quote" from Dr. John Smola, vice-principal of Finance and Administration; " the moye would be the greatest political blunder of the century from the Union Nationale's point of view, etc."

Michael Marsden, Assistant Professor of Geography is the purported author of a st;atement from SGWAUT that is false. No such statement has been made but Professor Marsden has been harassed by the public media because of it.

Again, The Paper repeats, this is a noax. There has been no statement from the provincial government on disbanding Sir George.

The Georgian, a good newspaper though of vastly different editorial policy is still a bonafide student publication in SGWU . Because of their wide circulation, reported at

(Continued on pa~e :2)

Les editeurs du Ge~rgian nous ont demontre une fois de plus de quel bois ils se chauffent et, ce faisant, qu 'ils sont absolument incapables d'assumer la responsabilite qui devrait norma­lement leur incomber. Leur derniere edition fait preuve du manque le plus incroyable de scrupule. Devant le contenu et la teneur de leur declaration que SGWU deviendra la seconde universite frarn;:aise, on est reduit a conclure que ce journal est ecrit par des enfants tres jeunes et tres ignorants des bonnes conve­nances. Un simple appel telephonique adresse a M. Malcom Stone, officier de !'information a SGWU, confirma immediatement l'absurdite de leur article.

Ayant sans doute exploite tous les sujets a controverse dont leur imagination pouvait concevoir, ils se sont donne carte blanche et de la ils en vinrent a la methode des simples, la fabrication pure et nette. Qu'est-ce qu'ils ont done? Ne peuvent-ils done pas apprecier que le gouvernement et Jes universites de la provin­ce sont suffisamment de problemes ces jours-ci a resoudre sans leur en creer de nouveau?

Leur article declare que des " sources in­formees" leur ont fourni ce renseignement.

by Rita Martin L'unique qualite meritee par cette assertion est celle qu'on applique normalement aux !aches et menteurs qui n'ont pas le courage de se reconnaitre publiquement comme auteurs de leurs mensonges. Par contre, on doit tout de meme admettre ceci: pour etre capable de publier un tel conte, ii faut enormement d'au­dace et comme le dit !'expression populaire "avoir du front tout le tour de la tete." Leur fabrication est d'une telle envergure qu'ils peuvent dorenavant considerer le "Georgian" comme deshonore.

Il est vraiment deplorable que ces pauvres enfants soit incapables de se conduire a la hauteur necessitee (et qui devrait etre consi­deree comme exigee) par une circulation de 18,000 copies. Mais ils ne pourront pas con­tinuer de la sorte encore longtemps. Leurs lecteurs se fatigueront bientot de se voir in­suites ainsi, car je crois ferme que beaucoup d'autres que moi se considereront insultes en se voyant offrir la lecture d'un tel journal. Mais malheureusement on ne peut s'empecher de frissonner en songeant qu 'il est impossible de

THE TREND TODAY IS THE VISA WAY ATTENTION STUDENTS:

Have you ever noticed t hat advertising today is tuned toward you? Has it occured to you that t he student market is .the largest single sales market in the world? Do you realize that on the average, a student s pend s in excess of $500.00 per year, over and above necessa r y ex penditures. Well , think about it for a min­ute ... remember that cola advertisement you saw the other day? The deodorant duel between sister and brother? The advertisement for the new stereo? Only a few examples of trying to corner the student mar ket.

After an intensive na­tional s urvey , VISA found t hat nearly one half of. t he total college popu­lation own cars, ninety­t hree percent of st u­dents drink cola beve­rages , eighty-seven per cent of co-eds use skin cream. Ten percent of all students spend more money on clothes than anyone else. The list can go on .. . and on. With­out your support, with­out your money, wit hout your market, a large percentage of nationally manufactured goods would no longer be neces­s ar y. S hould the students, therefore, not rece ive so me benefits from their expenditure? .. . VISA says yes.

4 / THE PAPER -december 9, 1968

Editorial T .V. Sir George is the victim of student politics .

The E.S.A. , and the Co-curricular Committee has managed to throw every roadblock they can find in the way of James Joyce. The ESA Executive Coun­cil, relying on the usual stall tactics, and lack of clear thinking based on so-called legal points turned T. V. Sir George out to be quickly gnawed to death by the Co-curricular Committee.

This committee is still unable to satisfactorily define itself or to free it elf from petty squabbling and politics. Peter Kontakas has been accused of pre enting different views to both the ESA and the Co-curricular Committee that has lead to a stale­mate in the saga of T. V. Sir George. There are serveral thousand dollars still lying around in various bank accounts waiting to be disbursed after almost half the academic year is over. Naturally, other argu­ments have ensued as a result of this such as whether the ESA actually has the right to treat their "share" of the $25,000 budget as their money and able to withold $12 500 at will or whether the Co-curricular Committee is correct in expecting this money with or without the assent of the ESA. All this is superfulous. What the is ue is , is when T.V. Sir George will get the money it needs to remain active for the rest of the year. Months of meeting and numerous "astute" decisions will not help as has been consistently demonstrated in the past.

If the Co-curricular Committee cannot define it­self or function within the framework of its exi tence then it should vote itself out of existence or have someone else find a way of di solving it. All it is doing now is creating dis ention and fastening the eeds of futility and resultant apathy. If the ESA

can't make deci ion on the use of student fees then it is not doing what it i meant to do. It should clearlv inform the student body that it is incompeten·t and ineffective.

What has happened now is that the ESA has re­lied on the "emergency meeting" to clear up a problem that could have been prevented by a little more fore ight and a little less politics . The fact that only one faculty representative. Ray Cornell, bother­ed to get to the meeting on time along with Presi­dent, Bill O'Mahony to find that various problems and excuse held up every one else substantiates our claim that politics are rampant in student govern­ment with the resultant decrease in effectiveness.

James Joyce got his $1,000 because of last Tuesday's meeting. We hope he has enough money from the Evening tudents and we hope that the politicians learn a lesson for future reference.

LITTIIS to the editor

PHU CK? N ovem her 27, 1968

Dear Sir: As concerned uni ve rsity

students in the Day Division we have given much thought to your concern for the potentially ma­levolent effect of four letter be­havioral word that are so pre­valent in the vocabulary of pro­fe sors, tudents and the official stude n t journal of t hi s University. In view of this prob­lem one of our more enlightened members has seen fit to render more soothing to those of a sen­sitive eye, the appearance of the most insidious of behavioral terms. In the future gentlemen, we shall never use such immoral term when communicating with you.

By thi letter please be advised to PHUCK off. Committee for Unlimited Carnal Knowledge: (signed) David Dubrofsky, B.A. IV Richard King, B.A. III Janice Simpkins B.A. III Susan Harrop B.A. Ill John Bradley M.A. I Jerry Weinberg B.A. III Grant Thomas B.A. IV P. McCurdy B.A. III Charles Hubscher B.A. IV Wendy Mill B.A. IV (eve) Wayne Forbes B.A. IV John Ray B.A. IV Lorne St. Croix B.A. IV Eddy Polak B.A. IV Rick Peny B.A. III (Ed. Note: I tru. t your inability to spell "fuck" doesn't indicate your inability to do it.)

Dear Sir: Further to Ian Buchanan's open

letter to Sam Clav in the ovember 25, 1968 edition of

"The Paper" and to your editors comments regarding many students who demonstrated their faith in Sam Clay's ability to represent the Arts Faculty (I am one of them) you state that a vote of 42-7, total 49 is hardly a demon st ration of evening support. "It is a good example of where student apathy can lead. "

This same edition advises that Ray Cornell was elected by a clear majority and also that Hoss M. Miles who replaces Sam Clay was elected by popular rnte. Both of th ese results lack graspable figures. Would :vou enumerate t he

numbers and percentages so that we may impartially contrast the figures which elected these three men.

My remarks are definitely not to be misinterpreted in any way to be critical of either Ray Cornell or Ross Miles whom I am sure will represent their faculties to the be t of their respective abilities, but rather as a request -for clarificatiorr of a cloudy issue. Fay Lamont Arts II (Ed. Note: The Paper ha not been authorized to publi. h anv figure on vote in the Electoral College. This will be looked into with the Chief returning Officer)

PEEK-A-BOO!!! to the paper

1 mu t take exception to Elaine Bockler's article "Look At Me, l'm A Woman" ( ovember 25). In short, Mi s Bockler refers to the full acceptance of the bare thigh as exhibited in the miniskirt and the coming trend of "sexually provocative " transparent blouses and dresses (bra-less, of course) as "trap. " for male atten­tion. What a lot of drivel! Too many women today have lo:t the art of sexappeal or perhaps they never had it in the first place. Since when does a woman have to "exhibit her wares" to prove she's a woman? Females who have neither the physical attributes nor the personality to attract males may resort to blatant expo. ure a: a last desperate bid for attention.

Mi. s Bockler savs men will applaud these . tyles just as long as their wives or girl friends don,t wear them - which leaves a group of frustrated felinity who are neither wives nor girlfriends, to sport the side show attire mentioned above, thinking they look seductive and smart, when in fact thev look comic. Don't these women· understand that anti­cipation is far greater than realization , and that which is covered has far more sex appeal than that which is exposed?

Overexposure is the quickest way to kill anything. We all have a favourite food - but eat it three times a dav for a month and vou'll never wan·t to see it again. Same thing with nudity . Once you've seen it, you've seen it! The game is over. The mystery is solved. There's nothing left for the imagination or the appetite.

Obviouslv some women don't have a clue· about sex appeal. The diet ionary defines sex appeal a. "the physical attractiveness and charm that attract members of the oppo. ite sex." It can be em­bodied in a look. a ~mi le. a

gesture. It is quietly suggestive without being too obvious; skill­fully seductive without being coarse. It is a tone of voice, a whisper, the ability to listen. It is cool sophistication but not remoteness ; awareness with a touch of shyness. Sex appeal should be like an unsolved mystery with fresh clues thrown in periodically to whet the interest.

read an article by Mlle Pierrette De jarlais in THE PAPER.

I feel that it is about time english speaking and french speaking students learn more about each other. The article in THE PAPER of Dec. 2nd is the . type of information that we, as english speaking students, require desperately. Most english speaking students would enjoy learning the "FRANCAIS,, but feel that there exists an unfor­tunate communication barrier, which disallows frank dialogue.

I would strongly recommend that Mlle Desjarlais write a column each week so that this important dialogue column can be an effective way to bridge this communication gap between Canadians. Many changes are required and I honestly feel that "separatism" by others or bombings are not the answers.

I apoligize for not writing this letter in the French language but I feel that my written French is so poor at this time.

GUIDANCE SERVICES ome 50,000 visits per academic year are made to the office of the

Guidance Services. Their function is to provide such services as counselling, a Guidance Information Centre, Reading Training Centre and a Student Placement Centre. Students come to discuss problems, hopes, fears, and plans that are part of the human condition they share with people in general and students in particular.

To see a counsellor , appointments are made to insure that time will be made available to the student. Those with pressing problems might possibly see t he counsellor immediately. Issues perhaps would centre around planning an appropriate course of study, choosing a career, clarifying goals or personal doub ts and uncertainties, poor study methods , fear of failure , unproductive attit udes and other problems. This service includes a ps yc hia tric consultant and other referral resources are available.

The Guidance Information Centre provides students with environmental information as

an aid to their making appropriate choices and decisions , particularly as related to graduate and career planning.

The Reading Training Centre aims t o help students develop the skills necessary to manage_ universit y level studies. These programs are available in group and individual sessions to students in all years in keeping with t heir special needs and as circumstances permit. Students may arrange to discuss personal study and reading problems on an individual basis.

HOW IT WORKS PART I The aim of thi erie of

articles is to outline the purpose of the ESA and to explain how it function . Thi series is being pre ented with the hope, that a knowledge by the Evening Student of how the ESA works will help to clear the ( mists of) apathy, that hinder the ESA from being a vital and effective functioning body , so important in making the U n i v er s i•t y ex p e r i en c e a smoother and more enjoyable one, for t he individual Evening Students.

All students who are registered in the Evening Division paid a $4 fee which gave them full membership in the ESA, and entitles them to participate in all Evening Students activities. The function of the ESA is to give the Evening Student Body the opportunity to organize , promote, expand and control extra-curricular activities in which all Evening Student organizations arid students may participate for their benefit.

The ESA is administered by an elected body of Evening Students known as the Execu ive-Council. At present, the Council consists of 9 voting members : President, Vice-President, Treasurer , and 4 faculty representatives and 2 ex-office members: Past-President and

Editor of THE PAPER. The Council is elected bv an Electoral College. ·

At present the Legi lative functions of the ESA are ba ed on a constitution certified bv the niversity Council on Student Life, on September 19, 1966. This constitution is unfortunately outdated and cannot serve for t he pre ent needs of the Admini tration of the E SA: hence the formulation of new policy evolved to cope with the fast evolving ¢h anges of t he University, and its effect on the Evening Student body. Therefore , the ESA ·Administration is, based on what is still relevant from the '66 Constitution and the new policies adopted, due to the changing state of affairs.

It is hoped that by the time this series of articles are printed a new constitution will be ratified, one that can meet the requirements of a changing University.

THE ARTIST AND-MADNESS TALENT, PSYCHOSIS, DRUGS

It has been said that all artistic expression is but a wish compromise emanating from the unconscious mental activity of the individual endowed with talent.

Significantly, persons who illustrate little or no artistic ability in daily life suddenly display remarkable acumen when they become "insane". Normally, rather conventional painters sometimes become abstract or violently impressionistic under the influence of drugs. But both the artist (drugged or un­drogged) and the schizophrenic seem to preserve in their diffe­rent ways an acuteness of perception which may be described as an "innocent eye." The dissimilarity, however, lies in the fact that the psychotic productions, often highly symbological, are distinctly egocentric and the artistic ones usually contain some­thing familiar to all of us.

It is, I believe, from a similarity of our own experiences (real or otherwise) that of a piece of art, from which we derive a feeling of aesthetic pleasure. We are usually unable to put our­selves in "rapport" with the extremely personal and symbolic meaning of the psychotic work.

KALEIDOSCOPIC CATS To illustrate the transition from an artistic to a psychotic

production, tlie work of Louis Wain, whose paintings are preserved in the collection of the Royal Bethlahem and Maudsley Hospital (two British psychiatric institutions) are frequently referred to.

Wain, a London painter who owned about twenty cats, was admired for his cat portraits in the pages of the Illustrated

_ London News. Using his paintings to comment on human absurdities,

Wain himself must have felt strong identification with his characterizations.

Succumbing to schizophrenia during his middle years, he began to illustrate some of his inner experiences through his cats. As his course of illness progressed the portraits underwent a strange transformation. They began uniquely fragmented into angular and symmetrical patterns and they finally disintegrated into colourful kaleidoscope masses.

Because Wain was an extremely talented illustrator these paintings are deservedly famous, unlike the productions of equally psychotic but untalented individuals.

Few people would disagree, that by his new insights, Wain 's work 1s tremendously enhanced, representing a richer a esthetic creation over that of his previous non-schizophrenic work.

,,

MEDIEVAL MADNESS

Another artist, whose work is said to strongly exemplify the mind of the tormented psychotic is Hieronymous Bosch.

Bosch, most terrifying of the medieval painters of the fantastic, utilized the traditional bestiary of the Middle Ages, dipicting them with a new sense of urgency. Known to believe the al­chemists to be in league with the devil to over­throw the world, a profuse amount of al­chemical symbolism appears in his work. The illustration published here is a detail from a massive work appro­priately entitled "Hell". The head of the central figure has by legend been called a self-portrait.

Bosch never ceased to be tormented by his acute awareness of the perils threatening mankind, which h e illustrated through monstrouly unnatural froms or hideously comical figures (the little bird-headed, pig-tailed demon c arrying a hurning staff and walking near the front edge of the central figure's 'hat brim' serves as an example.

Few painters have been so continually assailed by those ·monsters begotten in the sleep of reason as Hieronymous Bosch. His work remains as a state­ment to the psychosis he endured.

FREEDOM OF ASSEMBLY o·ENIED BY BLACK POWER

by Ernest Zuendel November 28,th, 1968, I was to be·a speaker and panelist,

discussing the War in Vietnam, at a meeting called, "The Atmospheric Confer ence, to End the Fog in Viet Nam." The meeting w as ostensibly sponsored by the Progressive Conservative Party Club of Sir George, arrangements were to have been made by James W. MacLellan of"The Georgian Tory" .

Wide publicity was given in both radio and the press, of the date, time and place of the meeting.

The format of the meeting was to be the following:

1-There were to be three panel members and an impartial chairman.

2-Each panel member was to be allowed exactly 15 minutes to state his point of view. T here was to be a question period following each speaker' s presentation.

3-Questions were to be limited to the individuals point of view on Vietnam.

4-A defini te time limit was to be placed on the " Questioner" and on the "Speaker" .

5-Anybody, both speaker and audience, not abiding by those rules was to be called to order , and if not willing to comply was to be a sked to leave the meeting.

All these stringened measures were called for , because a similar conference at McGill U niversity t he night before, had turned into a complete circus. Mr. Hassan, the speaker, verbally a ttacked and insulted a large segment of the audience, who responded by noisy heckling, and both sides completely ignoring the chairman.

When I arrived with the chairman, Mrs. Burton, at the cafeteria, we were informed by a Mr. Vaughan that "The Caribbean Society is out to get Hassan". After briefly explaining to him the tight rules and the topic of the meeting, he said: "Mrs. Chairman, I will go downstairs and try to quieten them down."

We entered room H-435 shortly thereafter and were told by Mr. Vaughan: "I had them calmed down, but Mr. Hassan continues to antagonize them, etc."

Now a coloured man walked, threateningly, up to the lady chairman, and within inches of her face hurled insults and intimidations at her at the top of his voice. To repeat here what this man accused this lady of, a complete stranger to him, would be too undignified.

This chap however received noisy encouragement from his friends who stood and sat on the table tops in the hall. His threats of violence, and general behaviour caused the yellow bellies within the sponsoring group to panic. The Progressive Conservative Party Club, immediately withdrew its (apparently never granted) sponsorship' in sheer terror.

Now a harangue developed because a Black Power Advocate insisted that he be included in the panel. This request was naturally denied, since the topic of the discussion was to be the war in Vietnam. However, a few loud-mouth aggressive coloured members showing race based hostility openly to anyone in the hall, were determined, because of their personal dislike of one of the speaker~, namely Rev. Allen Hassan, to disrupt and ultimately stop the meeting. They were successful.

The meeting did not take place. Black Power had won another victory on campus.

I regret this incident, and I was assured by some of the more . moderate members in the audience, that they were ashamed of their own race. They felt that these "self­proclaimed and self-appointed leaders, by their threats, intimidations and terror tactics towards anyone who did not come meekly before them. Only deepened the split between dissident racial factions.

Who wants to sponsor a talk on "Vietnam" neither Pro­American nor an ti-Communist?

Movement Attacks

The Paper The Paper among other so

called " capatilist pig" univer­sity ent it ies has been attacked in the latest edition of the "Sir George Student" a publicat ion of the Sir George Student Movement. The Paper's reaction to this attack is best expressed by Red China's political boss Mao­T se Tung as published in the " Sir George Student".

"( We) hold that it is bad as far as we are concerned if a person, a polit ical party, an arm v or a sc h oo l is not attacked by th e enemy . for in that ca8e it u:ould definitl.v m ean that we have sunk to the level of th e enemy .. It is ,?ood if ll'e are attacked bv the enem v, since it proves that we have drmcn a clear line of demar­cation beticeen the enemy and ourselves. It is still bet t er if the enemv attack us u:ildlv and paints as utt erly black and u·ithout a sin{?le virtue; it demon. trates that u·e have not only drawn a clear lineof d emarcation be t ic een th e enem v and ourselves but achie­ved a preat deal in our u:ork."

Managers Bosses faced with the problem of

mini-skirts, beards and Beatie hair­dos in t he office can find a few poin­ters from a poll the Administrat ive Management ' ociety has cond.ucted among it s members. The purpo~e of the poll was to determine policies in office grooming.

Admittedly, the girls have won a few skirmishes in the battle of the miniskirt. Some 52 percent of the 372 AMS members responding to the survey say minis are permitted in their offices. One executive even said he felt the mini-skirts "and new interest to the daily grind." But all those approving the shorter skirt~ have drawn the line at two or three inches above the knee. This, of course, rules out the "for-goodries-s-sake don't-bend-over" micro-mini.

Boots and excessive make-up are out as far as three-fourths of the re­spondents in the survey are concern­ed. Two-thirds, however, said okay to colored, textured or fishiiet hose. .

Male employees bent on relaxing standards of grooming aren ' t enjoying as . much success. Long hair a la Beatles is forbidden by all but 5 percent of the companies represented in the survey, while beards are banned by 84 percent. Turtleneck shirts as opposed to shirt and tie are prohibited by 74 percent and some 54 percent found sideburns unacceptable.

''This is a business office, not a psychedelic refuge for barbarians," declared one respondent. )lieat mustaches, however, are acceptable to 73 percent of respondents and port jackets versus a suit are permitted by 88 percent, the exceptions being in the banking and insurance businesses.

T he respondents also indicated thev had some effective methods to achieve observance of the unwritt en rul e of good t ast e.

BRAILOWSKY, MENUHIN AND GHEORGHUI OFFER THREE MAJOR RECITALS

AT P.D.A. Three of today's leading concert artists will offer

a musical feast for Montreal music lover during t he last days of November an d earl y Decemb er . Canadian Concerts and Artists, Inc ., announ ces recit als by t he ever-popular piani t Alexandre Brailowsky, Nov. 25; Yehudi Menuhin, t he distinguished violinist in a joint recit al with hi pi anist sister, Hephzibah, Nov. 28; and anot her great pianist , Valentin Gheorghui, Dec. 5.

Brailowsky, always a sell­out favori t e il!, Montreal, will perform works by Vivaldi , Scarlatti. Betthoven, Liszt, Villa-Lobos and Debu ssy . The highlight of his recital for many music lovers, however, is certain to be his playing of Chopin's 24 preludes, a feat which he performed to enthu­sastic acclaim on his last visit to Montreal several years ago. Through his recordings and busy schedule on the inter­national concert circuit Brailowsky has become one of the leading pianists of our times.

No less a favorite in Montreal , as he is in all parts of the world, is Menuhin, the one-time prodigy who in recent years has distinguish­ed himself as a musical impresario as well as one of the finest violinists in history. Twelve years have passed

since he and hi ister, Heph­zibah, fi rst appeared on this side of t he Atlantic in a series of joint recital , delighting crit ics with their astonishing virtuosity and interplay. To­gether they will perform sonatas by Brahms, Bartok and Beet hoven.

Another art ist with a strong Mont re a I fo 11 owing i.s Gheorghiu, one of Romania's most prominent musical figures, a composer of consider-able reputation as well as a

pianist of renowned taste and sensitivity. His la11t. Montreal appearance in HJ65 earned high praise from local critics. His recital in early December will consist of works by Mozart, Schumann, and a number of popular Chopin compositions, including impromptus, nocturnes , Andante Spianato and the E Flat Major Grande Polonaise Brillante.

"Get your guns out, Yankees wantjwarl" "An American-born historian said

here last ni{.?ht that it is naive to think that the United States would not resort to military tactics if Canadians "took back" Canada.

Dr. Stephan Scheinberp; associate professor of history at Sir Georpe Williams, said "Canada's econom.v had been conquered by the U.S. and we have become an economic satellite of that country." · Dr. Scheinberp told the Humanist

Fellowship of Montreal that events as far back as the end of the 18th centur:r have led to U.S. domination of Canada's economy.

He said "that there is not am· real sentiment in the U.S. for po.litical absorption of Canada, but there are allusions to this country 's political usefulnes in international matters. "

"Economics demand that th e U.S. have expanded trade and Canada is a

· prime target. "For years Canada has made it

eas.v for American inves tments and these have alu·avs been known to be quite secure, " he.said.

The bif{{?est U.S. foothold on th e Canadian econom.v are branch plants established here b.v lar{?e U.S. corporations. "

The above article appeared in both the Saturday and Monday edition of the Gazette, November 30 and December 2, Dr. Scheinberg, mentioned in the November 8th editvn of Time Magazine, teaches History 456 and 472 here at Sir George Williams University.

Well, Professor Schein berg, that sort of analysis of an economic "problem" is not a very good ~xample for univ.ersity students; if they are expected to get to the truth. There is no doubt that U.S . dollars have and still do play a major role in Canada's economic life, however, they hardly have conquered it.

The Dominion Bureau of Statistics outlines the percentage of selected Canadian Industries controlled by Americans for 1963 the latest available year£ as follows. Manufacturing 46rr Petroleum and natural gas 62 c-r Mining and smelting 52rr Railways 2rr Other Utilities 4rr

There is no doubt a hight percentage of Canadian industry owned by foreign investors, especially American. It should be pointed out in all fairness that such vital and key industries in both the production and service

sector such as Bell Telephone, Algoma Steel, Stelco, Dofasco, CPR, Air Canada, Sun Life Assurance and Alcan to name a few are almost entirely Canadian owned.

But lets not play up our assets, lets talk about those branch plants. They bring in much needed capital to develope markets, provide employment, pay taxes and spend money in Canadian communities from Halifax to Vancouver. Without these "molevalent" American intrusions into our precious sanctuary both you and the rest of the population couldn't afford the time of day.

When you have a population of twenty million people that consume at increasing record rates and look to the United States as an example of material welfare to follow when they demand equal wage rates either in the workshops or in the executive suite, you have to find the capital somewhere.

The average Canadian has his nice little 5 1/2r-; bonus savings account and perhaps he buys safe, safe Canada Savings Bonds on a payroll deduction plan. Yet he still won't take a chance on his own country. His staid, conservative, " fraidy cat" approach to putting money where his mouth is, is all to clear when we · see the flow of investment capital to the New York money markets. Oh yes! and lets take a look at the borrowing pattern of our provincial governments in the last few years . The reason Quebec, Ontario and Manitoba have borrowed from outside Canada is because the money just isn't available right here in our own backyard. You m_ight note, however, that the direction in which we are aiming our borrowing cries has been increasingly away from the U.S. and towards such sources as Germany. More and more of the development capital, being injected into the Western provinces comes from Japan, not from gU-n­toting bad guys to the south.

Politically, we have had several examples of our lack of usefulness to American foreign policy. It is appropriate to cite such cases as trading with Cuba and selling wheat to Red China. Our absence from the OAS conference table to avoid "lacky" labels is very notable indeed. And ' what about our refusla to unilaterally deport draft dodgets back to U.S. authorities? These examples hardly support your views. Or are we looking for bugs in the walls like Mr. McCarthy of the early '50s?

Yes, P rofessor Scheinberg, I disagree with you about military tactics being a final resort should Canada attempt to "take back" Canada. But let's not speculate. The chance of Canadians upsetting the investment unbalance in their own country through some sudden massive investment splurge by the public at large or over taxed corporations is a remote possibility indeed. By the way, Professor, what is your investment stake in Canadian industry?

POLICE BRUTALITY? by I.iii Stanford

The demonistration at McGill University on the evening of December 4th and early morning hours of Dec em her 5th, brings t o light many important facts which must be exposed. T h e presence of this reporter t hroughout the incident makes the following det ails focus on the true aspects of supposed "Police Brutality."

There were undoubtedly isolated instances of unjustified police agression. The unwarranted jabbing and poling, into the kidneys, of a number of persons present (including this reporters') emphasizes the complete lack of self-control on the part of the police. Also, the arrest of a few individuals and the subsequent punching, kicking, and general attempt to induce bodily injury ( especially in the genital area), shows the basic animalistic behaviour of a few sadistic policemen ...

One may say that the students o[McGill had no business to be there, protest ing the MIS occupation of the Administration Building annex. But it would be interesting to see what would happen if a group were to similiarily occupy ones' home or other personal property and thereupon demand certain concessions. University students pay for the use of the university and can therefore consider it available for their use. Any intrusion on that property is trespassing and must be protested on all grounds.

On the other hand, two additional points must be expressed. First, the purposeful intimidation on the part of the ftudents towards the police is similiarly unjustified. Following the ev-iction of the occupants, and therefore the supposed end of the cause of the demonstration, tlie students persisted in houting insults and throwing snowballs, ice, water, rocks, etc.

at the police thereby making the demonstration against the police and not the MIS.

Second, one can only respect the general efficiency of the riot squad, in systematically dispersing the students in such a manner that the chances of an all out riot were greatly reduced. As stated previously, there were isolated instances of unjustified agression, but considering the tension of the moment, it is indeed fortunate that a bloody riot did not occur. Again others may say that the police had no business being there and that

·they had no reason on McGill property, but similiarly, do the police have a nght to enter into a bank after a robbery has taken place? It must also be noted that the police did not actively disperse the students until they were outside the campus and on public property.

It can be readily seen that both sides (if we must choose sides) were at fault in particular areas. But when groups take it upon themselves, the intrinsic rights of either dissent or law and order, they also take the chances which these very rights imply, the result being that both aspects become perverted when they meet head on. The philosophy of change must be fully understood. The philosophy of authority must also be fully understood. Until such times as they are, aggression and violence will become more and more predominent, resulting in the breakdown of these basic rights and producing anarchy.

INCREASE IN STRIKES SEEN AS FAILURE OF MANAGEMENT CHICAGO-Man-days lost to

strikes in the printing, publi­shing, and related industries may rise as much as 15 percent during the next 12 months unless industry gives attention to critical factors in strike trend,s, warns a report by lmberman and DeForest, management consul­ting firm.

Three critical factors in the industry are seen as responsible for the strike trend:

1. A tendency of busy mana­gement to overlook non-wage issues.

2. Employee misunder. tan-

ding of the use of new methods and new machinery, seen as further steps to automation and job loss.

3. Management's increasing re­liance on the strict letter of the labor contract, thus alienating many employees.

The reportestimates a total of 782,000 man-days lost in strikes in the industry between July 1, 1968 and June 30, 1969. This compares with 674 ,000 days in the previous 12 months, 621,000 in the compa­rable 1966-67 period, and 780,000 for the 1965-66 period.

Only an effective two-way communications svstem based on listening to employees can uncover and deal with misun­derstandings before they erupt into strikes, the report said. Many executives at the top echelon are isolated and insulated. Thev are unaware of employee sentiments and feelings toward the company mainly because most companies lack any organized method for tuning in on employee opinion.

Prior to 1955, about 80 percent of the strikes in the indu trv were due to money. But money. issues are now responsible for only 51

percent of the strikes annually tabulated by the U.S.Bureau of Labor Statistics, the report noted. Today half the strikes are due to such non-economic issues as working conditions, foreman favoritism, seniority disputes, and so called " petty grievances" about washrooms, ventilation, grimy eating areas most of which management is too busy to handle.

The growth of "legalism" in interpretation of union contracts will continue to stimulat e labor st opp ages. a cco rdi ng t o th e report . More and mo e compa-

nies normally wait for stewards to file grievances which mana­gement then checks against union contracts.

"Often goodwill on both sides is more important that the letter of the contract," the report said.

America Hurrah is a series of three plays and has a stunning impact, which creates this impression because contemporary methods and themes are so ·nuently integrated and so freshly handled that the play sparkles with vita lity and distincti­veness. The dynamic and versatile acting successfully carries the charge of the play. In particular, the momentary paralysis of movement - like the split-second sti lls interpolated in avant­garde films - is particularly effective in arresting the viewer's attention to stylized gestures and choreography .

The first play " Interview" portrays the lo. s of individual _identity in American ociety and the deterioration of meaning­ful communication ot garbled cliche! We have met these themes before (through in a different guise) in Albee'. plays. In this play, four typical, unemployed people are confronted with four interviewers representing the bureaucratic, red-tape management of society. The defensive responses of the job­seekers and their resort to stereotyped, often pointless responses for support reveal heir disorientation in this interview ituation.

Subsequent sketches use automatic speech to empha ize the lack of emotional communication between people. The ketch of the dying telephone operator, recording her pain. to a

friend, shows how our lack of human feeling to other i extended to ourselves so that we have lost our sense of "being" and have come to regard ourselve as "thing " or a Ii t of symptoms.

It is only when we are shocked that we become aware of what is going on in life. and then we are incapable of dealing with it. For example, there i. a . ketch of a girl going to a party whose escort has been killed in an accident. Not only is it im­possible to communicated what has happened to anyone at the party but she al o realizes that no one would have missed her or here cort and lapses into an hy terical state.

The woman who is lo t downtown trying to find Fourteenth Street but not knowing why, reveals the plight of an individual so directed by mass media and "sold" values which are removed from necessity, that one mission a. sociation reduces her situation to the meaninglessnes it really doe have.

The next play, T.V., juxtapo es two scenes - the daily routine of three television crew members who monitor a station, and in slightly more exaggerated tones, a satire of typical television fare broken down into ju t the right proportions of interviewing, advertising, oap opera, and live entertainment.

Barbara Tarbucks' gestures marvelously caricature the television singing star.

Although the television crew display more human involve­ment than other characters in this play (or the others) their inability to deal with a crisis - Goerge choking on a chicken bone - links them to the superficiality of the television broadca ts. Peta Hargather as Su an, continuously adjusting the hemline of her dress, demonstrates how sex in American society is concerned with artificial details but ha lost real sensuo1,1sness.

The final play "Motel" is the mo t powerful. Through the use of obscene masks and light and sound effects, the play dramatizes the desintergration of Western Civilization . The old woman, who represents both the motel owner and the old idea of the room , swiftly updates t he past with a description of the pleasant, modern, orderly motel room, Having rented ' the room, a couple, representing average American modern man with little background or interest in past civilization, react against its orcier letting loose t heir Freudian "id" t hey indulge in bawdy sex play and sheer destructiveness.

Their debauchery builds swiftly to a climax when warning · sirens and blaring lights herald a bomb attack. The two character then run off stage escaping into the audience.

PRESIDENT'S DESK

THE MERGER AND THE STUDENT One of the most important t hings happening

in Sir George Williams University at t he present time are the upcoming discussion on the proposed Loyola Sir George amalgamation. This 1s a matter of importance to Evening Students since the entire structure of the university will change on completion of this project, assuming that the merger goes through.

The grey areas surrounding the merger are many. It is thought by many people to re­present a forcing move on the part of the Quebec govern­ment to create a large English univer ity and thereby a contain the growth of McGILL, allowing the standards of the French Uni­versities to "catch up" with the pace et in variou fields by their engli h counterparts. The fact that the mo t pro­gre sive university in Quebec is Engli h , ha been a thorn in the side of the Grande Allee government for quite some time. Is this the reason for the insistence of the provincial government for a decision on a LOYOLA/SIR GOERGE merger to be made by early De-

cember. Other people have stated that the pressure has come indirectlv from LOYOLA through .the pro­vincial government. The advantages to LOYOLA of uch a merger are many, they

would have access to the highly progressive science, engineering and commerce fa­culties and to some of the finest available re earch facilitie . All of thi could be obtained without adding to their deficit. Not bad!

What are the advantages to SIR GEORGE? Well, we could obtain some excellent areas for expansion and at the rate SG WU is growing t hi could be an essential key in our

development program. Our sporting facilties - although a highly que stio nable advantage from the point of view of some evening students - w o u I d b e e x p· a n d e d considerably. And of course, the association of two differ­ing philosophical back­grounds would prove most in teresting.

The third party in the set up is the provincial government, The NATIONAL UNION, has in mind two pet projects. The first is the creation of another Montreal ba ed french uni­versity. The econd, is the creation in the English chool system of the CEGEP - the half-way house system which now exists in the french schools.

Could it be possible for the buildings we now occupy to be turned into an english CEGEP? This might leave an evening student in the position of one who has two years of a degree and nowhere to go to complete the rest of his program. The alternative open to him might be to go to a day univer ity at financial loss in terms of wages or to remain unsati factory in term

,of employment.

None of what I have mentioned in this report is a secret nor is anything earth shaking. However, you, the

CANADIAN UNIVERSITIES GETTING BIGGER

More than 261,000 students were attending Canadian universities as of Dec. l, the Dominion Bureau of Statistics has reported.

Enrolment is up 12.3 per cent from the 232,672 taking classes on the same date a year ago.

Eight universities have more than 10,000 full-time students tith the largest being the University of Montreal which has 30,247.

Toronto University had 21,484 students; Laval 19,155; British Columbia 17,525; McGill 14,024; Alberta, 13,486; Saskat­chewan 12,604; and Mani­toba University l0,233. DBS reporteed that an additional 98,983 students were attending universities part time.

Sir George has over 18,000 students but as 12,000 are Evening Students and not full time we aren't encluded. SGWU is actually in the top five in Canada.

THERE WILL BE ENOUGH HUNGER FOR EVERYONE • COME 19751

For years now, reports from all over the world suggest t hat in t he very near fu t ure this planet will be hit by t he worst famin e ever!

According to esti mates by t he World Hea lt h Orga n ­izat ion and other agencies, this famin e will fell 2 bill ion human beings in one powerfu l swoop, in or around 1975.

Just t hink! T his pred icted disaster is onlv six hort vears away. And what, may we ask, is being done to forestall t his gigant ic catast rophe? F rom what we can gather -NOTHING!

Although the President of the United States warned the world not too long ago t hat his country could not be expected to continue to feed the starving people of this earth indefinitely (American food reserves have dwindled to 101

·;

of its annual production) the average U.S. farmer is still

being paid a certain amount of money to hold some of his land out of production.

But let's . not knock t he U.S . only. How about Canada, Australia, and so me of t he other m ass producers of food on this planet? What are we doing in Canada to prepare for t his disaster? What are others doing? othing!

It is incred ible to t hink, t hat faced with such widespread death and horror, we can worry about bilingualism, the SST nuisance, inflation. the gold crisis and all the other t housands of pedestraian worrie s whi c h ke e p o ur politicians hopping.

Ther e fore , t o all th e polititicians of this world we shout: STOP!

Stop your stupid arguing! Stop your stupid fighting! Stop your stupid arms race! And for heaven's sa:ke, quit the costly race to the moon!

Cons ul t vo ur 10 b il lion dollars worth of computers! Call in yo ur agric ul t ur a l experts. Talk to your wise men (if you have any!) and figure a wavout.

· F ind out where t he famine is going to h it. Build huge storage silos and build huge ships to t ransport the food t here. Bring all arableland into production. K eep the farm mac h i n e r y manufacturing plants busy. Stop laying waste to fertile land. But above all , stop stock­pill ing weapons - stock-pile food !

The Allies hanged t he top Nazis in 1947 for shovelling 6 million Jews into t he ovens and for committ ing other inhuman at rocit ies. Good! But who, we ask, will hang all the world's politicians in 1975? By doing nothing now, they will have become responsible for the most hideous slaughter in all the history of mankind!

T he Committee intends to investigate t he possibilities of better u t ilization of human and physical resources t hat a mero-er would produce.

12/ THE PAPER - decembe, 9, 1968

SIR GEORGE GAZETTE UNIVERSITY COUNCIL The following is an extract of the minutes of University Coun­cil, held on Friday, November 29, 1968:

1-The Chairman read a letter from Mr. Manny Kalles, President of the Students' Association, in which he informed him that the Student Legisla­tive had decided that students should attend the meeting of University Council. There were several dozen students 'present at the meeting.

Following considerable discussion, the Univer­sity Council approved a motion 'that the observ­ers present at the meet­ing be invited to attend' so that the Chairman formally indicated this to those present and the meeting continued.

2-University Council, after considerable discussion, approved the (new) B.Sc. Honours degree pro­gramme in Economics and, subsequ1::ntly, approved the rest of the Science Faculty course­change material indlud­ing two amendments to the Biology and Chemis­try sections of that material.

3-University Council, after discussion of the Arts Faculty course-change material, formally approved the recom­mended changes, includ­ing various amendments to the original material.

4-University Council con­sidered, at considerable length, a five-part recom­mendation submitted to it by the .Chairman of Council which follows:

1-He would recommend that the January meet­ing of University Council be held as an 'open' meeting in Room H635 on an e:::.perimental basis with a limited number of tickets of admission available to the meet­ing.

2-He would recommend that there be provision at the meeting for a question period from the floor.

3-While it was impos­sible to prepare and publish the final agenda of Council meetings seven days before each meeting, given the fact that many items on the final agenda only appeared during the days preceding the !DeetiD~; he would recommend that the TENTATIVE agenda of each Council meet­ing be published a week before the date of the meeting.

4-He would recommend that copies of the University Council

minutes be deposited in the libraries and in the Students' Assoc'ns Office where they would be available for scrutiny by any inter­ested students or staff­members.

5-He would recommend that University Coun­cil recommend to other Councils, Committees and Boards, that they hold 'open' meetings.

1 After a lenghty dis-cussion on each of these points, the Uni­versity Council approved them and, in addition, approved an amendment to them which added the fol­lowing as a 6th item:

"a precis of the minutes be prepared and published, as soon as possible, after each meeting with the understanding that this precis had no legal status since the min­utes themselves would only be validated by action of Council at its next meeting".

In addition, Part 4 was amended and approved to include the Communications Committee to the list of recipients of the minutes.

With .regard to Part 1, it was agreed that there would be a dual booking of both the Council. Room and some other larger room as an alternative meet- -ing place, should the attendance prove too large for the Council Room. It was also stressed that the Janu­ary meeting would be 'experimental' since Council would decide at that meeting whether it would con­tinue to hold 'open' meetings.

With regard to Part 3, it was agreed that an effort would be made to up-date the TEN­TATIVE agenda each day up to the actual meeting day as addi­tional items appeared, during that final week, for inclusion on the FINAL agenda.

With regard to Part 4, it was agreed that it might prove possible only to deposit a copy of the minutes in the main library rather than in both it and the Science-Engineering Library in the Hall Building. This would remain to be deter­mined.

With regard to the meaning of 'open'

meetings, it wa agreed that this was to be interpreted as open to the University com­munity, students and staff, but not 'open' to the general public.

With regard to the time of the January meeting, a motion that this should be held on Friday, January 24th, at 6:30 p.m. was defeated and it was left to the Chairman and the Secretary to deter­mine the day and time of the January meeting (by formal motion).

5-It was agreed that further consideration of a pos­sible reorganization of the structure of the Board of Governors be deferred to the next or a subsequent meeting.

6-a) It was reported to Council that the search for a new Dean of Gradu­ate Studies was in prog­ress with the Search Committee considering ome nominees in detail.

b) It was reported that the Search Committee for a new Vice-Principal (Academic) had con­cluded its work and the matter was now in the hands of the Principal who could be expected to make an announcement shortly.

c) It was reported that the Search Committee for a new Dean of Engi­neering was at work, with progress being made but it was not possible to indicate when a decision would be made.

7-It WljlS reported that the Committee on the matter of Limit Loads for Even­ing Division students in the Summer Session was in the process of prepar­ing a report which would be forwarded to Council in the near future.

8-It was reported that the Committee on Cercurric­ular Activities had not yet submitted its report and it was agreed that the Secretary should request this report by the next meeting if this was at all possible.

9-A brief report concerning the resignation of Assoc. Prof. Byers from "the University Communica­tions Committee was submitted by the Secre­tary who indicated that the resignation had been occasioned by this member's disagreement with what he considered to be the Committee's undue haste in dealing with matters before it.

10-Concerning an Arts Fac­ulty Council resolution 'that the Universitv Council be asked to con­sider again that Council's proposal for the adoption of a Grade Point Average system, in time for

implementation in 1969-70', it was reported that the Commerce Faculty Council was opposed to the adoption of a G.P.A. system as was the Sci­ence Faculty Council. The Engineering Faculty Council had not yet come to a conclusion concern­ing it but was asked to submit its decision as soon as pos ible.

11-It was agreed to defer the matter of 'the proposed organization of the Instructional Media Office and its relation­ship to the Faculty of Arts' for two or three months so that the mat­ter could be considered in greater detail by the Arts Faculty Council and its appropriate Sub-Com­mittee.

12-It was agreed that consid­eration of the Engineer­ing course-change mater­ial should be deferred to the next meeting of Council.

13-University Coancil gavE: lengthy consideration to 'a proposal for a Transi­tional Programme during the inauguration of Eng­lish-speaking CEGEPs' and finally approved a

motion 'that 1t 1s recom­mended that if Dawson College is operating in 1969-70, an·d if proper financial arrangements can be made with the Province to obtain the staff required, the UNIVERSITY offer, commencing in '69-70 a five-year programme, the first two years of which would parallel the CEGEP programme, and the last three years would fit the University pro­gramme'.

14-University Council approved a resolution from the University Library Committee 'that the University Council be requested to amend the constition of the Univer­sity Library Committee so that the membership of the Committee could be extended to include one day and one evening student as an interim measure until new Uni­versity government is implemented'.

15-University Council was informed that the Sub­Committee of Council on the matter of a 'Study Week' would be submit­ting a report by the next meeting of Council.

THE CHOICE OF ONE ·cANADIAN

(Continued from page 11)

that the digging was to finance the same old shenanigans, such as the Ville LaSalle Liquor Control Board land deal and to send delegates to Gabon. (Well, I got something out of that. Until then I had never even heard of Gabon!)

"But I think the back-breaking straw was my final argument with the federal government. I had said I didn't mind paying for social insurance for less fortunate Canadians, but refused to apply for myself. I was then told that my attitude would cost me a $25-a­day fine."

(Mr. Day contributes to the Canada Pension Plan, indicating his willingness to support his fellow Canadians, but did not wish to make out an application for a social insurance number, not believing his fellow Canadians, should have to contribute toward his security. He has no objection to the government applying a number to him, as he feels it is a commonplace and necessary occurence - his refusal has been to apply himself for a social insurance number).

His reasons sorted out, Mr. Day decided to move his home, his family, and whatever work he could do to British Columbia because he believes that "the most western of our provinces has indicated the preference for a more responsible type of government, and support and nourishmen of that attitude may well be the only way to save Canada from complete collapse".

He has already pitched into politics in his new environment with enthusiasm - not yet having discovered the flaws in the system. of which there surely are

some. He is not hailed as a latter­day Messiah, but has already met with three provincial Cabinet Ministers, and is impressed with their concern for the financially disastrous condition into which Canada has staggered and their dedication to a "pay as you go" government philosophy.

"A 'pay as you go' philosophy may not appeal to the leaders of all governments in Canada because a government which subscribes to this philosophy inflicts a limit on its own powers. It also creates an unusual sense of pride and responsibility in its citizens and a sense of humility in service in its employees. I have seen a great deal more here of 'what I can do for my country' and less of 'what my country can do for me'," Day claims. ·

"Trying to help in my own small way, I have offered my services, gratis, of course, through the ministers I have met, to work on any particular problems which might be in my line. I've joined the local constituency organization which has been successful in electing a Government member for the past sixteen years. They paid me the honor of electing me president. I will be devoting more than the usual amount· of time to the responsibilities involved. I hope to get some speaking and teaching chores as well.

"Oh yes, I still do not have a social insurance number. Being 'unemployed', I don't suppose it matters now. And anyway, my good wife has had a few days relief­teaching French at the local high schools, thus revealing our devotion to la belle prouince culturally, if not financially. So who needs a number?"
