The demonstration was held to protest Canadian arms sales to the U.S. for use in Vietnam. There was no violence and no counter-demonstration. An earlier attempt to bum an American flag was foiled by a policeman who grabbed it away from the --demonstrators as it was being lit. The marchers had to this point obeyed the parade marshals and had stayed off consulate grounds because it was "American property and not free soil". After the flag incident however, Russel Rothney of the Vietnam Action Committee and chief parade marshal said, "let's treat American property with as much respect as they treat the property of Vietnam." The demonstrators moved on to the parking lot and symbolically burned an Amer• ican dollar bill as policemen watched. "This is symbolic of the $!150,000,000 in blood money Canada makes annually from arms sales to the United States", said Bob Hodwitz, a University of Manitoba student and the leader of the demonstrators. The protestors then made a bonfire of their signs, lirut~d arms in solidarity, and shouted, "Hey, hey, L.B.J., how many kids did you kill today." and sang; "We shall overcome". The demonstration, one of many staged simultaneously throughout Canada, the U.S. and western Europe, was jointly sponsored in Winnipeg by the University of Manitoba Vietnam Action Committee and the Committee for Peace in Vietnam. Earlier in the day the protestors paraded one mile along Portage Ave. through heavy Saturday afternoon traffic from city ball to the Legislative Buildings where speakers representing participating groups addressed the marchers. As well as the two sponsoring groups there were rep- resentati ves from the Voice of Women, University of Manitoba Liberal and N.D.P. clubs and private citizens of all ages. Cy Gonick, editor of Canadi an Dimension magazine and professor of economics at the University of Manitoba, in his speech compared Canada in her complicity to "a whore who was ready to sell her body to anyone who was ready to pay the price." The speakers unanimously called on the Trudeau government to hold a national referendum in which Canadians could voice their feelings. The two sponsoring groups have sent letters to Postmaster Eric Kiems and two other M.P. 's asking them to raise the issue in the House of Commons. "TrudeaJ1, during the election campaign, asked 11 Canadians to voice their opinions in matters of state" said Russel Rothney. "Canadian complicity is making a mockery of our so• called neutral position on the International Control Commit• tee." In last year's demonstration in Winnipeg there were about 1,000 marchers. Over 2,000 were expected this year. When asked the reason for the relatively small turnout, Rick ternette, a full time worker for the Winnipeg Committee for Peace in Vietnam, said "Winnipeg is 100 years behind the times in comparison with Toronto and Montreal and a thousand years behind compared with Europe." "It takes a lot of time to educate people, but it is through such demonstrations as this one today, that people will become more aware and start asking questions. Only then can we put a stop to these atrocities." The march was supervised by 14 parade marshals appoint· ed by the demonstrators. The Winnipeg police force provided escorts and surveillance. Student interests in the parking issue will be repres• ented on an Emergency Parking Committee. The committee was formed by an AMS resolution October 28, which passed 15-2. The resolution followed the Council's decision not to fine students for parking offences. The administration, uninformed of the AMS rejection of of parking fines, distributed invalid warnings to students whose cars were parked out• side the fence at the bookstore on October 24. The Emergency Parking Committee will consist of three students, one faculty and one administration representative, and will be chaired by a fourth student. The students will demand that: 1. preferred parking be eliminated with the exception of residents'. 2. a system be adopted whereby membera o university community who wish to park throughout the year be by Doug Smart will be °Tul'!sday, October 29.

Education a national issue'' A CUS field \W>rker m.¢e a flying visit to Lakehead University last Thursday in response to the planned referendum on CUS membership. Don Kossick, graduate student at University of Saskatchewan, discussed with the AMS the role of the Canadian Union of Students and how to better inform the students about it. "Education bas become a national issue, now that the federal government gives out much of the money for loans and grants, and there is thus a need for a national student lobby." he said. Mr. Kossick explained "the way to really affect what is going on is mass participation on the low level." He was particularly enthusiastic about course unions •• faculty-student dialogues, with a give and take attitude. This type of participation would also bring social awareness of the university environment. This base could later be extended to the community •· to involve the stu• dent as a part of society. "The university is a part of society and not an isolated ghetto." He said the only political slant that charged the same amount. lJ. a Standing Committee on parking be established consisting of four students, one administration and one faculty representative. This committee is to be given control over all parking regulations including prices of stickers and hiring of attendants. "This resolution is the most representative of idea$-· , !'ve heard . on the parking issue," said councillor Bob Gibson. The demands were thought necessary because there are a large number of students who drive to the university and a limited number of parking spaces of which nearly 40% are allotted to the administrat• ion and faculty, and also because bus service to the university bas not improved to a degree which could noticeably affect the parking problem. The first ~eting of the - Kossick CUS has is "the realization that human beings operating in an environment have a responsibility to participate." The popular image of CUS as radical and violent is a misrepresentation by the mass media. "What the mass media did for Trudeau in a positive manner was done negatively for CUS following the Guelph Congress," he said. Mr. Kossick feels reactionaries are capitalizing on this press coverage. Before referendums are held students must have a clearer understanding of CUS. Much of the media's attack has focused on resolutions passed at the CUS Congress in Guelph this August. Mr. Kossick pointed out, "one thing you have to recognize with the resolutions: we are not legally bound to them." In addition to providing a national student voice, CUS services include student Life Insurance, travel benefits, car insurance, rese,arch materials, field workers and seminars. Lakehead University's referendum will be held in the near future. The AMS Council will discuss the resolutions of the 82nd CUS Congress this week and will organize town hall meetings with the student body on CUS. , �agus, october 31, 1968, page 2 , This week. ■ ■ THURSDAY, OCTOBER 31 Cambrian Players • Play • Aud. • 8 p.m. "Six' Characters in Search of an Author" FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 1 Cambrian Players • Play • Aud. • 8 p.m. "Six Characters in Search of an Author" Circle K Halloween Dance • Field House • 9 p.m. t - SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 2 Math Club Meeting • Room 1020 • 10 a.m. • 11 a.m. Math Club Meeting • Room 1004 • 10:50 a.m.-12 noon Math Club Meeting• Room 1024 • 12:35 p.m. • 3: 15 p.m. Drama Club • Auditorium • 9 a.m. Cambrian Players • Play • Aud. • 8 p.m. ''Six Characters in Search of an Author" SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 3 Women's Residence Ass'n Social Evening RehearsalAu4itorium • 2 p.m. • 5 p.m. University Schools Movies • Auditorium • 7:30 p.m. "A Place to Stand" and '"The Philadelphians" MONDAY, NOVEMBER 4 Graduating Class meeting • Auditorium • 6:30 • 9 p.m. TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 5 "Mods Make Music" • Auditorium • 12:30 p.m. Spanish Classes-Ballroom Dancing • Room 1006 • 9 p.m. WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 6 W.U.S.C.

Mods make music Students were treated to a recital of light classical songs by Geraldine Kullman,dramaticspinto soprano, last thursday. The concert was second in a series of nine planned for the school year by "Mods Make Music'. The concert was a success although the theatre was not filled to capacity and the program had to be cut because it started late. "I was a little bit concerned about general reception, but I was very pleased. They were very receptive." said Miss Kullman. The informal concert was free to the public and the audience were allowed to ask questions and indicate the songs they wanted. "And they picked more classical songs than I expected them to " said Miss Kullman. The soprano was accompanied at the piano by her mother, Mrs. Rosamund Kullman. Mrs. KuJlman, a retired church organist, is her daughter's official accompanist except for out-oftown recitals. Miss Kullman belongs to a musically talented family. She is married to Robert Behrendt, now a member of the Princeton String Quartet. Their daughter Wendy plays in the Lakehead Sym• phony and is an excellent flutist. She has had an extensive career. In 1962 she won the Birmingham Symphony • Birm· ingham News Auditions and has just completed a year's work on a Doctor of Music Arts Degree at Boston University. Miss Kullman explained her title 'spinto' as a marriage of the dramatic and liyric types of singing. The 'spinto' has a wider range and can sing more different roles. Boris Brott, Director of Music at L. U., said the purpose of the series of concerts is "to bring to the University distinguished young Canadian artists, both classical and popular, from outside the Lakehead area. There is a thirst for new things in this university. It is a question of exposure." Mr. Brott would like to see L.U. as "a pioneer university, opening up new territories of knowledge in which students will contribute to cultural awareness • an awareness of life forces." The next concert will be November 5th, featuring pianist Arthur Ozolins, who has just won an international piano competition in Calgary. • simon says..

Argus staff member Simon backs student povver on radio Argus staffer Simon Hoad was hot-seat guest on the CJLX "Talk Back"· program last Friday at one o'clock. The program mainly consisted of Mr. Hoad answering questions on Student Power, explaining the position of drugs on campus, and defending the Argus. The audience who phoned in were extensively censored by the CJLX ten second delay cut-out system. Mr. Hoad was never censored though he once used the word "fornicate" to explain student attitudes to four letter words. Mr. Hoad, who is also an AMS councillor, was attacked personally and as a student by the phone-in audience. He was told students wanted to go too far too fast, and did not have enough practical experience in life. Listeners informed him that students were immature, didn't work hard enough and had no moral standards. Someone suggested students should pay the total cost of their university education. "Not enough of us can afford to pay for it before we get our education, but we'll certainly be paying for the university later through our taxes • which our training will help make as high as possible," Mr. Hoad replied. One lady tried to read a poem from last year"s Argus over the air. She thought it I was obscene. So did the radio statioo. She was censored •SO fast listeners did not even get to hear the title. Mr. Ho ad's participation arose out of an inquiry by the radio station for an Argus staff member. ~j T.

Overcome with joy, he raced into the hall screaming ..I've been saved," I've been saved." Prompdy he was invited to the daily pot party, held in the womans latrine on the second floor of the library. It was a smashing success; everyone of intelligence was there and the AMS representatives as well. Smiles were everywhere, mostly on faces it's true, but everywhere: And the biggest smile of all was stretched between the ears of Richard Colin Michael Pterodactyl. Then about halfway through the party, when everyone's joint was in plain view, the little man leapt onto his horse, (which he had cunningly sneaked through the window) whipped out a camera hidden in his left annpit, and immortalized the whole bunch in celluloid. Consternation rained, but the little man kept bis bead (someone was trying to pull it off) and got out the required there? words. "I am a representative of the RCMP and God and I've got you and you•re going to get proper shit for this." At that, a student with a white shirt and tie who had been calmly halucinating in a blue universe in the comer, cleared his throat and levitated unobtrusively to face the foul and now unmasked fiend. His voice was heavy with contempt. "Do you remember article 69 in the third book of Barf, Old Testament in the RCMP manual? Have you forgotten all your training? Do you not remember verse 13 • '"Thou shalt not let the right hand know what the other right hand is doing." "My dear boy, everyone here at Fakehead is from the RCMI? Didn't you know?" With that the thwarted evil one gave vent to his ire, in one tremendous go, and the place was so bad that people had to open windows and breath through handkerchiefs. And he collapsed in his customary heap, ;µid prayed, and confessed he hated his mother, and his Grade I teacher, and God, but not Dr. Tamblyn, and bis teddy bear, and his sister, and said he needed pharmaceuticalogical help, like on the movies. But after one dose of LSD '(such is it's power) he straightened out. He got a crew cut and a volkswagen and clean underwear and even attended a class. Finally he graduated. They say he designs synthetic potatoes for the cafeteria. �argus. october 31. 1968. page 6 , ••and we will cry our militance .. by Chuck Grieve ''Give µs five barley loaves and two fish", saith the throng, "And we will cry our militance by abstaining from eating, and we will leave the five barley loaves and the two fish to go bad in plain view to attest to our militance, and when no one is looking we will sell the five barley loaves as fresh bread, and the rotten fish as fertilizer, and we will show a profit which we will spend on beer, and smuggle the beer on campus, and drink it all up amid riotous laughter, and drive home skuzzed as no doubt all those who we militantly abstained over will be doing at the same time." For it is all a game, with nothing but our minds to play with. And some of us chose not even to play that game, concerned perhaps-even a little afraid (You tense?) --of being disillusioned, discouraged, at the pending conclusion of the match, the matdh which has no rules except the limits of man's mind, the match which tantalizes, quickens at the prospect of conclusion, yet eludes the frantic grasp of one who fears a decision. Just so, issues. We call for power; we demand equal rights. We talk of a community of scholars and we argue over universal accessability. But when the opportunity arises for positive action--for any action, be it positive or negati ve--we fall back into the trap set for us by those who went before. "If it was good enough for them, let us try to see if it will solve efur problems as well" ; we say, rhetorically, to no ears other than our own. And we are as the horse in harness, with blinkers to guard against distractions on any but the main route. The parking issue is not new. But neither were the proposed solutions. The problem is not so much with where to put all the cars--we do have great empty flat spaces out front--but how to do it systematically, neatly, making sure rules are not broken. But rules are not sacred: rules must be broken as soon as they are out-moded, antiquated. Rules regarding parking (though a lowly, insignificant case of isolated misdirected energy) serve one purpose: to force people to pay so that they will cherish the privilege of parking. Moreover those, generally, who can't afford to pay are forced to, while those who can afford it have prestigious reserved space. Parking is so transitory a problem that it is hardly worth a mention, other than as a casual reference. On the other hand, its prominence as a topic of much intercourse, meetings, and general unrest provides a lead to another serious aspect of our thesis. In chosing this this as a focal point for simulated trench action and lxief skirmishes, the whole University is committed to a level of local quibbling not particularly desirable even to the likes of the materially-minded few who specialize in this form of ego-enhancement. ''In the beginning was man, and man was his own god, and man prospered. He built society so that he cood live peacefully with his friends, and join forces with them against his enemies, for man really is a social animal, probably better known as a social climber, and he used society to put himself or his friends in control, because Monopoly is not just a clever dice game. What man did and still does in a big way in the big society, he also copies in miniatuce detail and puts to work in every group he deems necessary to start, because well golly that's just what the democratic thing is all about." The democratic thing in itself is probably good--no one really knows because it has never succeeded in freeing itself from petty things like parking lots and electricity, and window stickers and all the outward trappings of what each individual man (still his own god) settles on to hold back eyeryone else from getting to where its at before he does. Similarly, Lakehead U., and the Council. There is a relationship between the Council and the electorate, such that the Council would not become embroiled in a problem of such extremely local and personal proportions unless the electorate was in agreement with their involvement. Now the electorate, by its apathy and general confusion, on the one hand, shows its level of political awareness, while on the other hand, by its concern over parking problems, it shows its egocentric nature. In fact, by wanting to do things like charge faculty and administrative personel for parking while allowing students free access (which was in a mature attitude on the part of the students. In fact, in the very face of university democratization across the country, Lakehead students have once again shown themselves unwilling to look deeper into the little things and come up with big steps. It happened, if you recall, with the great registration scandal, with the Harding case with the ORCUS affair, with the printing-press issue--and it will happen again: as long as people continually refuse to give the effort required, or are forced of necessity to take individually too much for three people; as long students refuse to face the issues, there. will always be, every · year, parking problems-every year. So. We call for action, do we? It is time. And we start at first base, We begin with student government, and its structure. A Council of such nature is not, nor can it ever hope to be, representational. Despite fine ideals, and great election aspirations, it is an elitist structure. The problem lies in the fact that it is not elite enough. A possible solution could be the modified party system. It would call for an extensive campaign among the ranks of the student body to create a maturity and political awarenes& of acute dimensions before it could hope to succeed. For it would manifest itself, through many possible routes, in a closely-knit Council who would direct the course of political action on a course charted out in advance: following a sort of never-ending five-year program. From a Council so constructed, the student effort to democratize the university community .. by abstaining from eating'' fact one suggestion put forth) they even show narcissistic tendencies. A sad and sorry state, indeed. But look, where the folly of the Council lies, laughing back at the people who solved the problem, or rather proposed one solution to it, without clearly attacking the issue in• volved; and, therefore, themselves not fully understanding that issue. Had those involved ·intimately with the parking thing been less hasty and a little shrewder in their dealings, they could have seen that there, personified in this year's version of the parking-problem, stood the guide to a democratized Lakehead U. Why charge some for a parking sticker, and not charge others? Why not run a toll gate type ofoperation, with no reserved spaces--absolutely none? Or why not open it all up and charge everyone the same, still with no reserved spaces? Clearly there are many more alternate solutions to the parking thing that provide more desirable results than the one solution originally chose, but of course they require would be easily allied with that of the faculty, or rather those members of faculty who are still able to envisage any sort of educational structure other than the "each discipline for itselr' set-up which it would appear we have now. An integrated educational environment is what could be created: those who cared enough would make it work. But fear; fear was ever-present. Some were afraidof the new, some of the old. Some of the unknown; others, the material institutions. Loneliness was bred of fear. So humanity rubbed its backs together and . the heat subdued the- fear and overcame the loneliness~ And the price of wannth was war and poverty. We must not be afraid of the strength necessary to start the great wheel of change, and we must not be afraid to assume than strength. It is cold out here, away from the warmth. Let us not split ourselves for fear (Is it always fear?) of losing the heat of numbers. And effort, effort is essential. We must work to accomplish these ends. But unless Lakehead U. changes faces, effort will not come for a long time. ;~··........ ...... . ....................................... ··················· WOULDN'T YOU RATHER DRIVE A FORD? .-. ...::: ❖ ::: ::: ·-· :-: You are cordially invited to- drop in and see the ❖ :-; :~: All New :...: S-.ea~r WerW . :: ... ... ·- ~ ~ ~ ~ ·- sPECIAL cLEA1-0UT of '68 FORDS * Special Prices 0.

I really wasn't thmkrng clearly at the time." He added that Dr. Tamblyn was supposed to attend. Dr. Tamblyn said he had earlier advised AMS President Peter McCormack of his decision not to attend. He gave his reason as, "I'm tired of going through the same issue four different times, having reached conclusions at each stage along the way." The student demands to be discussed were the elimination of preferred parking spots, equal prices for all who wish to park, and the formation of a committee with student representatives to control parking. Ron Baker, Chairman of the parking committee, explained, "We demanded equal parking rights. We feel that as students we should not be paying $15 each for attendants to keep us o~t of faculty-administration parkmg_ _lots, while faculty andadmm1strators pay nothing." He added, "Parking problems would be largely elimin_ated if the lots were run on a first come-first served basis."' Mr• Smith said this is impossibl~. "Ri~tly or wrongly the policy of the University at this time is that the faculty and administration are preferred." . Mr. Smith also disagreed with the students as to the cause of the problem. "The prob!em is not privileged parkmg, nor the cost of parking nor the allocation so much as the in3lbility of some people to abide by the rules and regulations as they are." Mr. Smith said if the parking committee met again, he would definitely attend. The students have ap~roached the Faculty Association to send a representative to the committee. Dr. Stan Magwood of the Biology department acted as a faculty observer last Tuesday. He said the faculty would consider sending a voting member at their next meeting Nov. 14. However, he thought they would be quite disturbed by the student demands. j Slifpv, or;1q11;z. ~ -photo by Roblin L.U. students demonstrate in support of labour union Police in Port Arthur and formed on the basis of mutual and broke up an interview Fort William over-reacted when respect, a sharing of decision- between students and CKPR· 20 students from Lakehead making power, and a pooling TV.

FORT WILLIAM The Fashion Store for The Style Conscious Student CUS National Council holds first meeting The first session of the CUS ational Council was held in Toronto Oc t. 25, 26, and 27. The National Council was set up at the 32nd CUS Congress in GueJ ph this summer to bring the individual campuses across Canada into a closer relationship with the national office. The CUS field workers gave reports to the Council on all campuses across the country. Field worker Don Kossick has made two visits to the Lakehead in the last few weeks and will be returning next week. The relationship between CUS and the Commission on the Relations between Univers1t1es and Government ( CRUG) was one of the more important matters discussed. Missi Powell, AMS VicePresident of Academics and a National ·Council member, stated, "CUS will present briefs to CRUG because they want the scope of the investigations to be greater than simply the legal relations between universities and government." Strategy concerning the press was another topic at the National Council meeting. ''The decision concerning the press applied mostly to big centers where the newspapers regularly interview student leaders.,, said. Miss Powell. The policy fonned at the meeting was that personal interviews would be limited as much as possible and be re• placed by press releases from the national office. "This way they hope to eliminate the kind of character assassination done on Martin Loney and John Conway by the Vancouver Sun," stated Miss Powell. How to deal with referendums was also a matter of discussion. The general feeling was to postpone referendums as long as possible so that the students could be more clearly infonned concerning the policies and function of CUS. The National Council also appointed a co-op field worker who wilJ be visiting the Lakehead campus later in the year. Miss Powell felt the meeting was very useful as a kind of co-ordination of what's going on across Canada. The National Council is essential to making CUS a national union becaus e "Through the council the point of view and the ideas of various parts of the country are communicated," she said. Forestry charity In a two hour blitz of the Port Arthur-Fort William area, the Lakehead University Forestry Association collected 274 cases of empty beer bottles (and numerous non-return pop bottles collected by Red "Q.B. " ) This donation was presented to the United Appeal on Saturday afternoon before the C.K.P.R. television cameras. The effort was enJoyed by all, including those usually used to emptying beer bottles themselves. French & Cultural Clubs merge The French and Cultural Clubs of Lakehead University merged last week. According to the French Club Executive, the Cultural Club essentially dissolved, and members joined the French Club. They felt the cultural needs of the student body 40 MILES PER GALLON OF GAS RENAULT (Also Used Cars Small ·and Large) could be better served through one club. The French Club is putting on a membership drive for 500 new members. This number would make them the largest club on campus. Kevin Jesseau, French Club social convener, is confident of suc cess. "We already have over 200 members. About 90 of them have signed for a trip to France this summer", he said. The French Club meets Tuesdaysat 2:30 in room 1100.

RED RIVER ROAD, PORT ARTHUR �ague, november 7, 1968, page 3 An interview On•rio's Deputy Minister of Education Editor• s Note: Dr. Jack McCarthy, Ontario•s Deputy Minister of Education, made an informal visit to lakehead last week and was interviewed by Winston Rennie and Alan Roblin of the Argus. Deputy Ministers are senior civil servants who do not change with the party in power and its political appointees. Consequently they are very powerful. And since the education ministry is traditionally the senior section of Queens Park (the two pervious Premiers of Ontario both headed it before taking over cabinet leadership and since Dr. McCarthy was responsible for setting up the Department of University Affairs: he has much more power than his title suggests.) The Department of Education is in the process of examining the Hall-Dennis report, a recently compiled study of Ontario•s education which recommended revolutionary changes. Dr. McCarthy has a great deal of say over which changes are implemented, which ones are emphasized, and which ones will be compromised to ineffectiveness. H~II - Dennis report QUESTION: What is the present position of the report? ANSWER: This report was submitted in June. At that time we engaged Mr. Dennis on contract to speak to organizations and jurisdictions all over the province and to explain the reports' recommendations. QUESTION: What is the report's position so far as implementation is concerned? ANSWER: As soon as we got the report, we got people working on it in the department to assess the recommendations and make some kind of priorities for implementation. Several of the recommen..ilations of the report are already implemented. For example, the larger unit of school administration-one of the recommendationswill become effective on January 1st. Through this we'll be able to provide a wider range of opportunity for every youngster. Prior to that there were administrative organi• zations that were too small to provide the the spectrum of services that would really meet the needs of youngsters. I think we have got some of the major re-commendations on the way. QUESTION: Do the Local School Boards then have some measure of freedom in the implem~nting of parts of the report? ANSWER: They do. Local School Boards have a high degree of freedom in the curriculum area; for example, to provide for individual differences. If they want to make adjustment they are free to go ahead and do so. QUESTION: If the recommendation that Teachers' colleges be incorporated within the university is implemented, what will happen to the existing training colleges? ANSWER: This recommendation is supplemental to the McLeod report which was issued about two years ago. That report recommended teachers' colleges be part of the Universities and we have bad discussions with a committee of Presidents of the Ontario University, with a subcommittee that they established, with the individual administration offices and repre• sentatives of faculty across the province. We've done a lot of the spade work that had to be done here in consultation. We are now at the point of having to make decisions. We've accepted the McLeod report on the basis of this recommendation. It's more a matter now of procedures for implementation than any questions of the principles involved. QUESTION: Would the teachers' colleges then cease to exist? ANSWER: They would -likely become facul• ties of Education within the University. QUESTION: Was there seen any urgent need for a thorough revamping of the Education system? ANSWER: We used to set up curriculum commi ttees--mathematics, representatives of the universities, teachers' colleges, technical institutes, the school boards and the teachers' Federation. We'd say we want to develop a new· mathematics program for grades 9 to U. Aims and objectives in ...- -photo by Roblin Dr. Jack McCarthy (at right) talks to Winston Rennie. mathematics would be set up. Other committees would be set up for different subjects. You were having this happen across the whole spectrum of the curriculum. But the missing element in each of these special areas was "What are our over-all objectives into which these ought to fit?" I recommended to the Minister that we ought to have a committee that dealt with overall aims and objectives which would be given to these separate committees. They could have their own objectives but it ought to be in relation to the general objectives. This was accepted. Foreign teachers QUESTION: What's the idea behind the Ministry of Education accepting these teachers? Is there some sociological benefit to be had from it, or is it simply filling a need for teachers? ANSWER: We recognize that we may be doing a real diservice to some of these other countries when we do this. But if teachers make a committment that they are going to live here and that they are qualified to teach, 1 don't know what else we could do but allow them to do this. This is some cause of concern to us. We don't mind stealing teachers from the U.S. but we are very reluctant to take teachers from a place we know need teachers more badly than we 'do. Many of the students who come from other communities to study at the undergraduate level have m~de the same decision outside of teaching altogether. Student powe, QUESTION: What do you think of the present wave of student awareness and conscious• ness? ANSWER: I think this is a very natural developing pattern in the society that we have. I think this so-called "awareness" of stu• dents is a highly desirable development. Whatever comes out of it should be judged on the merit of ideas that are presented. I don't think people should take rigid positions. I deplore ,!11e fa_ct ~at in :-ome instances people say we will Just abdicate positions altogether". I don't see the "student power" as any different from the presentation of new_ ideas tha~ ou~t to be given every possible consideration. QUESTION: Is there any due concern on the part of the Ministry of Educatio!1 that the element of violence does sometimes come into this picture? ANSWER: This doesn't bother me at all. I have seen things like this come and go in the past. I think the law is ~ere lll!-d it ought to be obeyed in a democratic society. I don't subscribe to the fact that the only avenue for change is violence. This brings its own reaction ,!'Vhich may result i? greater losses in the long haul. But I don t belong to that generation any more so I may be expouting a point of view held by the older generation. QUESTION: Do you think that the claims and causes held by the students are just? ANSWER: I would say it is impossible to find any area of the society today that isn't subject to improvement. This applies to the Department of Education and any other element of society. We should be all striving to find better ways to do things and we ought not to reject or accept ideas just because some particular group proposes them. I think no one should panic because things like this happen. QUESTION: "7'. What would you say about the fact that High Schools are now getting into this picture; for ex~ple, the recent student strike at Windsor? ANSWER: Some kids are going to have to find out that the gains are not offset by the losses to them personally. I don't think this is the way that things are going to be gained because I don't think society as a whole would buy that. Striking isn't neces. sarily going to force the school to do differently. I think it is a different picture in High School as compared with Universities. I won't accept it nearly as much as I would in the case of Universities. QUESTION: Some students are beginning to feel that "reason" as a method isn't helping them or isn't going to help them to any great extent. What do you have to say about this? ANSWER: The question there is whether resorting to violence is e~ercising reason. Exercising reason isn't helping us; do we thett stop exercising reaison? Is violence within the realm of reason? I don't buy that. There is a basic cynicism that people aren't prepared to buy reason. I have a long way to go yet, but I don't see that. Many students get out of line because they don't see it in a historical perspective. Things have improved over past years and a hell of a lot of reason has been applied to tlie situation. I don't think that anyting could replace experience. Many of the people today who are saying "reason" isn't being taken into account, and then resort to violence, would be in administrative institutions ten years from now and saying "What the hell are we -going to do with these students, they have become impossible." This has been happen• ing all through history. Student newspapers QUESTION: What do you think of student newspapers and the role they play? ANSWER: I think they play a very important role in terms of keeping students informed, but I must confess that I would like to see a higher level of journalism represented among them. In my view one of the things you have to look at is that if a newspaper cont'd on page 10 I �' sE.&JS ON St::Nf\TE.. --- .. -:.,.J• ...--...., - Student needs There's no doubt that student needs are the primary concern of Lakehead University's Administration. The entire administrative staff spends all its time thinking, thinking. Thinking of more ways for the Un.iversity to serve the student. For instance, look at the building program. $100 million in concrete in the next ten years. Ten thousand dollar bills going up and coming down. Yes, Lakehead's facilities for the student will be great. The library elevator already serves students who have offices on the fourth and fifth floors. And the new cafeteria . will be twice the size of the faculty's, while seating only seven times as many. Better still, the ARGUS office will soon be a spanking new hallway. More important, the standards of the University are constantly on the rise. Why, only last year failure rates went up another notch. Al I this for the student. And now the Administration is offering us more. We really don't deserve it. They have been so generous they don't even want us to know who our benefactors are, for fear our thanks would be too overwhelming.

When Miss Horn, a member of the Wolf Clan of the Mohawk tribe, was introduced as a controversial figure on Indian Affairs, little did I know that I, a member of the audience out of curiosity, would be the one controversing about her, and not just about her figure. She had a roomful of educated people under her thumb and all they could do in their own defence was complain when she stuck harder. This is heap big medicine. I personally wish to congratulate Miss Horn and ask any of the powerful and enlightened mind~ who have suffered by her visit to reestablish and reconsider the facts and hope they can see that they were induced to think and realize, rather than be informed by Miss Hom. Unless you begin to imagine that perhaps there is a little of the slyness of the fox in the brave wolf you will be demoted to a weak and unelightened mind. Viva l'lndien. "No proctor shall carry or consume any alchoholic beverages at a function which he is attending in an official capacity, the amendment unless sanctioned by the Chief Proctor." Art Looye, actmg as prosecutor asked that the charges be withdrawn on the grounds of lack of evidence. His request was denied and the hearing continued even though Mr. Looye refused to prosecute on legitimate grounds. In essence the Magistrates looked to me for a defence against charges which had . been withdrawn by the prosecution and against charges which were not backed up with one shred of evidence. When I told them that they had no right to keep my clients any longer since charges had been dropped and no prosecution was taking place. We were threate~ed with contempt of court 1f we should leave the court room. After a ten minute recess these noble stalwarts of justice adjourned the case until next Thursday because they were unable to find the amendment to the constitution. Bryan Springgay, associate justice told me to produce written proof of the amendment rather than witnesses. When I told the court that I didn't have to provide any defence thus far since the prosecution had not provided incriminating evidence or witnesses to prove the validity of the charges, Bryan Springgay · provided the court with his gem of legal wisdom, "In my eyes they are guilty Mr. Hiller and it is up to you to prove their innocence." Is this the Judicial Committee that realizes the uni• versity student is a private individual? Is this the Judicial Com• mittee that respects the right of each individual to act according to his own moral standards? ls this the Judicial Committee that is interested in the well being of the University and the student body as a whole? Is this the Judicial Committee that is unbiased and passes judgement solely on the evidence brought before it? One thing is for sure. This is the Judicial Committee that may impose fines up to any amount they feel, restrict a student's privileges, and recommend suspension or dismissal. When I questioned their litigation procedures I was ruled out of order by Mr. Springgay and informed that the Judiciary was supreme because the Constitution said so. • Next Case? Ron Hiller Foresters disliked Dear Sir: Would someone in this university please enlighten those stud en ts who are ignor· ant of the fact that the Forestry program at this Univer· sity is one of the most unapathetic groups on campus? These students are, it seems to me, being discriminated against. This statement may be backed up by the action at the halloween dance held in the fieldhouse on Nov. I. No matter where the foresters went in the fieldhouse they were heckled and pushed. I only wish that people would realize that this group of people has given the only spirit to this university and to Lome D. Clark attack and criticize everythh1g this group does as wrong is a fallacy. People may think that this letter is biased as it has been written by a forestry student but that is only their opinion. I think that if you talk to a forester you will find that this is a mild statement of fact. It is about time that the students of this university began to support the foresters and not fight them at every turn. We are an understanding group and try our best to stay out of trouble. I only wish that the rest of the students in this university would show some spirit and not be so damn critical. J. Douglas Angus, Forestry Degree I �•gus. november 7. 1968, page 5 letters to the editor The radical attitude of AMS councillors Dear Sir: Most people are aware of the struggle for Student Power being waged in today's universities. There are those who feel that the right of people to determine their own destiny is a basic freedom that has been trampledon by the Administrative Bureaucracies of our society. People who feel that a change in the power structure of the university and in society as a whole is desirable and even necessary if this culture is to survive. Every day the minds of the people are slipping into the control of a small minority who's prime concern is its own sur• vival and the effieient running of the machines of government. Throughout the continent, the process of authoritarian and paternalistic suppression is speeding up. The mind of the public, exposed to the direct application of the mass media in the interest of this select minority has lost the power to formulate its own opinions. In other words. the idea of "public opinion" controlling public policy is a myth. Those people who demonstrated at Chicago have learned this lesson, and the people who demonstrated in Toronto on Oct. 26 have also learned this lesson. In the university itself, among the student radicals, the insidious effects of this conscious effort can be seen in the attitudes of those people who are trying to change the administrative set up. The power of this mind control process is apparent in the action of those individuals who consider them• selves aware of this very phenomena. Recently the AMS council deliberated on the CUS resolutions concerning the Viet· namese war. What resulted was the rejection of most of these resolutions. It is expected that the right wing liberals would vote against the reso- lutions. However, what was not expected was the attitude of the so called left radicals. Instead of condemning the AMS council for supporting genocide and . the American Capital Em• pire, the radicals reduced the meeting to a competition between the right and left, as if it were a football game with the appropriate boo's and cheers. The revolution that these radicals support is not The Revolution, it is a middle class cultural revolution. A revolutian aimed at upsetting the older generations by introducing new modes of behavior and life style. This movement in itself is necessary but the fact that most radicals do not or can not look beyond this state is the major weakness in effectuating any relevent change. What can be expected but tokenism from the Establishment, if the radicals continue to play at being parliamentarian leftists? If the majority stands against the moral issues of the war, if they continue to place misinformed, selfish motives before the lives of those dying in Vietnam, then that majority is wrong. As long as th_e radicals sit at the same table with those who support the murder of children, (4 out of IO killed in Vietnam are children-Ramparts} the radicals themselves are as guilty as those who support the war or pull the trigger. Canada sells 500 million dollars worth of material to the U.S. to aid the American war effort. The Canadian mmmg interests sell nickel to the U.S. of which 90% is used by the American Armed Forces. 11t e Vietnamese War is not primarily a political issue to Canadians, it is a moral issue. To the student radical, it is one of the major rallying points around which the new left aims... its attack against the "smug minority". As long as the radicals fail to be serious about what they believe in and as long as nothing more than talk is heard, nothing will change. The only effective action is direct action and the only effective result is victory. Papin-Stuber No reason to be apathetic pounded the real issues for me, but the answer could be found nowhere in his letter, although I took the pain to read his letter about two or three times. Let's assume when he wrote about the "real issues" (which is used in the plural) that he meant education. What is education? In the writer's context it would seem Serving the Lakehead Since 1911 What are the real issues of that an education to him is coming to school, _ studying FLOWERS FOR ALL OCCASIONS the University? I thought that hard, and passing an examiFort William Port Arthur the writer would have ex- nation to get that status 623-7441 344-2.428 oriented "piece of paper" so that he may live comfortably afterwards. Is that what an education should be? For too many people who have been regimented under the rigid structures of our so-called good society, the answer would be ''yes". In my way of thinking, "education" is more than coming to school to pass an examination. Under our present system of education, we must never forget that passing a written examination is an ever important thing. However we should never be shrouded under the guise of examinations and forget other and more important aspects This organization exists of education. University life is the dissemination of knowledge. This knowledge can be hadnot to consider only in text books, but also by being acutely aware of things Dear Sir: In the October 24 issue of the ARGUS a letter was written to the editor which was headlined "In Support of Student Apathy." The writer of this letter contended that the apathetic group ( the largest group probably about 80%) is concerned with the real issues concerning this university. AMS ACADEMIC COMMITTEE academic issues and complaints. that are happening not only in our own environment but also m the world in general. The Biafran question, the apartheid policy of South Africa, the Rhodesian pro_blem, the Vietnam war, the United States Presidential election, the Negro question in the States, and the Indian problem in Canada are some of the more important aspects of education that I referred to above. If anything is wrong within the University, we as students should take pride in voicing our disapproval. It is ridiculously insane to sit back and be apathetic. Writing for the mere sake of sensationalism, voicing destructive criticisms, and having a negative approach are things to be avoided. Let's be constructive in our criticisms; let's be positive in our approach; only by so doing would we be able to give those who have been elected to the numerous positions in the many clubs and organizations on campus the necessary incentive to carry on. For it must be remembered that al though these people are trying to propagate activities for the welfare of the University, they too are ultimately concerned with passing that written exami• nation.

(HARDCOVER edition I) Only 35 cents At Your LAKEHEAD UNIVERSITY BOOKSTORE �_ argus, november 7, 1968, page 8 Council splits over CUS resolutions A split in the AMS Council was apparent at last Wednesday's .meeting, which dealt with CUS resolutions. Council had intended to discuss the CUS resolutions thorougbl y in order to present a full picture of the CUS to the student body, which will vote = on membership in CUS in a referendum soon. But opinions polarized early in the meeting, and discussion was limited. Resolutions . dealing with such safe issues as lowering the voting age, Biafra, and the status of women were passed by an overwhelming majority. But resolutions dealing with Vietnam, U.S. imperialism, and student power, issues that are currently labelled by the mass media as "radical" were narrowly defeated. Concerning the Russian invasion of Czechoslovakia, Council. passed a motion which "reaffirmed the right of selfdetermination of peoples". But concerning Canada and Quebec, Council defeated a resolution which stated in part, "They (the Quebec citizens) must have the right to national self-determination." Council "condemned the invasion of Czechoslovakia and its people by the Soviet Union and continued Soviet domination of Czechoslovakia", but defeated, by a close margin of 7-9-0, a motion to "condemn the imperialistic and genocidal war currently being waged against Vietnam by the United States of America and its allies." Council passed the Declaration of the Canadian Student, which states in part, "The Canadian student is a member of. a global society with the right and duty to be concerned about his fellow citizens and with the responsibility to promote -human rights and mutual understanding." Don Kossick, CUS field worker who was on campus October 80 and 81, was pres• ent at last week's meeting. "Attending the meeting was a frustrating experience", be said afterwards. "It is hard to understand how a student council could pass a resolution such as the Declaration of the Canadian Student, which calls for active student involvement in all facets of life, and then reject the resolutions specifically on student power and .~se on involvement in international affairs. These matters are the practical applications of the Canadian Student. 0 Mr. Kossick said the only conclusion be could draw is that "the Council as a unit, doesn't understand the resolutions of the 82nd Congress. Their decisions were inconsistant." Norma Sheridan, Lakebead's CUS co-ordinator, left the meeting before it ended, saying, "I can't , take it; I can't stand it." "Everyone was in that meeting with his mind already made up", Mrs. Sheridan said later. "Nobody was prepared for discussion. The ColDlcil was very badly and very evenly split. It's a bad situation because it stops people from thinking. It's not a learning situation." The AMS will continue to consider CUS resolutions at next week's regular meeting. it took CUS delgates eight solid days to pass the resolutions at the 82nd Congress in Guelph this September. The date for the CUS refer• endum will not be set until the Council has considered the remaining resolutions.

Indian education QUESTION: What is the position of the Department as far as Education of Indians are concerned? ANSWER: The Adult Education program is a little different to the integration into the regular school. For the last 15 years the local School boards have been-helped with finances from the Department of Indian Affairs, when they added capital facilities to educate students from reservations. It is a different relationship with Indian children to the school sys tern than it is at the adult level. It is more difficult ·if the rerson is already an adult. QUESTION: Have there been any problems with regard to the Indian children fitting into the schools? ANSWER: No--as a matter of fact, we have had additional requests from Indian groups· to have this pattern extended beyond where it is now. I haven't heard of one incident where this has worked out badly. A year ago, up at Manitoulin, they asked for representation on the School Board, so we ammended the provincial legislation to make it possible. Things like this have helped the situation because the Indian point of view is then represented on the School Board. This has been pretty positive in my view, but I think there is still a lot to be done. Purpose of visit QUESTION: Do you care to comment on the purpose of your visit to the Lakehead? ANSWER: I came to the College of Applied Arts and Technology which is developing a new campus down here. We are working on some decisions in this area as to planning its overall development. I had some discussions with Dr. Tamblyn about the Teachers' College and the possible relationship that might exist between the University and the College. IAM~ election disputed I Students once again went to the polls on Oct. 23 to fill vacancies on the AMS Council. There was one vacancy in each of Science, Arts, and University Schools. Elected for Science was Roy Shegelski; for Arts, Paul Berkeley student leaders fasting BERKELEY (CUP) •• Two Berkeley student leaders, discouraged by the relative ineffecti venessof conventional protest at the California school, have begun a fast. The two, Konstantin Berlandt, editor of the Daily Californian, and Charles Palmer, student president, say they will end the fast when Governor Ronald Reagan promises to "cease and desist his political attacks on the university." ''We feel we have exhausted, through petition and peaceful protest, the regular channels of appeal," said Palmer. Berlandt continued the thought: "We see the university pressured by politicians and many people of the state, repressed by the regents in open disregard for faculty autonomy, and further weakened by the student apathy and faculty evasion." Both rejected violence as a satisfactory tool of protest. Monday afternoon (Oct. 28) several faculty members called a press conference to announce they had secured 475 signatures from the 1,000 faculty members on campus, endorsing and supporting the actions of chancellor Roger Heyns "in dealing with activities designed to disrupt campus functions." Heyns called in the police to break up a series of sit-ins at Berkeley last week. The protests centred around a university decision not to grant creditstatus toa course on racism given by Black Panther leader Eldridge Cleaver. Over 4,000 students were boycotting classes Tuesday after a strike vote the day before was called to protest the university handling of the Cleaver case.

She also spoke later in the evening to the general public. Miss Horn greeted students in Mohawk and extended her greetings to the Ojibway people who live at the head of the Great Lakes. She then got to the point: she had come to ask the white man to honor his obligations under the treaties to the Indians. She called Lakehead University "Lethargic University", and -went on to attack nearly every structure of North American society. young Gov't plans robbery "There are 250,000 registered Indians in Ca~ada and it costs close to $1,000 per Indian per year for health, medical care and welfare. The number of Indians increases by about 4% per year, and the cost of caring for them in the wilderness (the areas of low cost of living on the reserves) increases about 7% each year. Something must be done about making Indians self-supporting." Miss Horn went on to explain the Governm~nt's plans. to solve this problem: "They will rob Indian lands worth something like 500 million dollars and give the title of these lands to some hungry real estate promoters". She added, "They are going to encourage the bright and clever to leave the reserves abandon their people and leave the rejec~s and the misfits to remain on the reserves and breed like crazy." • Miss Hom especially criticized the roles of the... Hon. Jean Cretien, the Hon. Robert Andras, and Prime Minister Trudeau, for the part they have played in the Indian situation. of Mr. Cretien Miss Hom said "He is an unfortunate choice because Indians do not trust french speaking Canadians." She then said she would challenge Mr. Cretien to a public debate on national television on the subject of welfare of Indians. "Mr. Andras," she said, "went around the country repeating the assurance that the Indians would not be betrayed, as they have been for hundreds of years. He did not know he was a Judas goat. He was sitting at hearings and Indians, carefully selected for their loyalty to the government, were coming in with wonderful speeches and briefs prepared by white lawyers on the government payroll." She said, however, "Mr. Andras is an honest man who would like to do his best for Indians and the best he can now do is sit on the sidelines and not be a pawn in a power play leading to the loss of $500 million in Indian lands." Take a deep breath Miss Horn asked all present to take a deep breath of fresh air and hold it. "Each breath of air," she said, "is drawn through the courtesy of we Indians." • She added "You would not be born, your country would not exist if we had not three times qmtributed our blood to make this possible" . She elaborated on this by giving the students their "history lesson": "When we resisted the Americans trying to kill the French speaking Canadians in 1776 ( after Quebec Act of 1773 guaranteeing their language and religion and the Pope's influence in North America), we not only saved them, but saved Canada, and in 1812 to 1814 it was the terror of the Iroquois that saved Canada from the Americans once again." Miss Horn stated that the poor health and medical care given to Indians make them a burden anywhere. She added that Indians are physically, mentally and culturally different from the white man. She offered suggestions for helping the Indians. The first was for the white man to pay his "rent" to the Indian landlords. Second, the housing crisis for Indians must be relieved. Third, marriages and intermingling of Indians with white people should be banned. Fourth, Indians should be taught useful skills and the Indian woman should be trained to be subserviant to her brave. Finally, justice must be brought to the Indians, something that has been denied Indians because they are usually defenceless. The Indian plan "Five years ago I first presented the Indian Plan. The National Indian Council refused to consider it. They were more concerned with parties, dances and making me Miss Indian Princess of Canada to shut me up. "Four years ago I went from coast to coast proclaiming the Indian Plan. The Hon. Arthur Laing seemed to accept it when he became Minister of Indians. "Today I hear nothing about the Indian Plan which is designed to make the million registered Indians, who will be alive 31 years from now, self-supporting and an Independent Indian Nation. ''The plan is based on such things as: Stopping assimilation and integration, which are robbing us of our leaders, and without leaders, Indians are lost." "My Indian Plan rejects association with hippies, and negroes, it draws racial lines it makes clear that we will not believe in th~ fiction of racial equality until a team of Eskimoes beats the Harlem Globe Trotters in basketball in Madison Square Gardens, and then goes on to win the 100 metre dash, at the Olympic Games. "My Indian Plan rejects free association of Indians in the white community for at least 31 years. "My Indian Plan is designed so that we can't be exploited. It is designed to develop motivations, property ownership emotions and all of the things that are missing in an Indian•· to work fast.. This, sh~rt life expectancy is due to the whtte man s diet. When Indians are pu_t into residential schools, and fed such things as macaroni and milk, they lose their eyesight. This is especially true of the Crees wh? loose their eyesight within the first year. This and other physical differences have been demonstrated by The John Hopkin's Medical Centre and University of Oklahoma Medical Centre. Another question asked was: "The ten~ts' culture is one of competition and ac~1evement for survival. Do you think that Indian people can adjust themselves to this culture or do you want them to? He_r answer t;o thi~ was: "You are trying to pamt a glowing picture of the white man. The only true character of the white man the o~ly way that he retains his power is thr~ugh v10lence, through committing atrocities, m~rder and betrayal, through dishonesty, and lymg. You cannot ask your landlords (The Indians) to lower themselves to that character when they are of a superior character themselves." • Mis~ Horn's an~wer to the question, "are all Indians as anti-French as the Iroquois?" was: "We aren't anti-French-we just happen to know our history. The Indians fought against the French in the early days of Canadian history because the French were out to commit genocide • they wanted to kill off ~11 the Indians. The only way that the English could come here and live here was to make treaties with the Indians, treaties they have never honored to this day." The question period had to be cut short because Miss Horn had another engagement at that time. Pay the rent I That eve_ning, however, Miss Hom presented two films to the general public: The .. of Chaughnawaga and until they are within an Indian nothing can be done to assimilate the great majority / ' "My Indian Plan has been successfully ignored, laughed at, scorned, rejected, opposed, shelved, discussed, ejected, and kicked around by every politician or person in power who had some secret or public advantage to oppose it. " "In fact my Indian Plan is opposite to the beliefs of the idiots who now plague the Universities of Canada and many other countries." Miss Hom also pointed out that: "On the present record of success the heal th of the Indians will be the worst of any group of human beings in the world, the employment will be lower, the so called crime rate higher, the rate of convictions 100%, and the hope· lessness of the whole situation almost beyond repair. The cost cannot be reckoned in moneynot even in millions.'' She criticized students who received loans from the taxpayers and wasted their time "running around acting the idiot, trying to get on television, demonstrating about things that will get them publicity and girls, and upsetting their parents, and wasting the money paid for their education, which could better be diverted to welfare of Indians. Some of the students who receive loans, however, take their $3,000 and try to learn something to become useful to society." Indians physically different Miss Horn then asked if there were any questions. One person mentioned that Miss Horn had suggested her and her people are physically, mentally and culturally different. He asked her to explain how they were physically different. Her reply was, "Indians have a short life expectancy--35 years. Therefore one can understand a person like myself, who is way past middle age. I'm over the hill and I have Disappearance of the Buffalo, and The Elliot Lake Relocation Project. Following the films. she presented another speech, expressmg the same ideas voiced in her earlier speech. After this a Ii vely question period developed. "How do you feel a society · like you advocated completely independant from our own society can exist as a nation in the world?" To this question Miss Horn replied: "First of all you (the white man) pay your rent and then if we want to fail or be successful that's up to us. You pay the rent and then if we want to we can put you all on a reservation. One person who got up and identified himself as a Treaty Indian stated , "First , I m not a Government employee and second I'm not a coward like you say we are. And second don't ask me to pay my rent!" "We all know that you're one of us and you certainly will not be expected to pay any rent." was Miss Horn's reply. ~e said he thought the best weapon the Indian could use against the white man is the pen. Miss Horn warned him not to give the white man any clues. When asked if she were representing the Iroquois Nation or just exactly who was she representing, she replied that "I speak for Kahn Tineta Horn, let everyone else speak for himself." The Treaty Indian asked: "You say you speak for only yourself but after tonight and what you said on television we have a lot of explaining to do." She said: ''Don't explain anything to the white man--it's none of his business." Afterwards refreshments were served in the Great Hall and anyone wishing to meet and talk further with Miss Horn, did so. Miss Horn is just completing a tour of Canada and The United States and is returning to The Caughnawaga Indian Reserve. Her tour is paid for exclusively by the universities that invite her to speak at them. �IW{JJS, novembar 7, 1968, page 12 The Pope and the pill at Lakehead by Linda Montgomerie Last Thursday afternoon the International Students Organization held a panel discussion on "The Pope and the Pill" in the University Centre Theatre: About 250 people turned out to listen to the opinions of the local professional men who made up the panel, and to clear up a few of their own questions on the Pope's Ency• clical on the Regulation of Birth. Since its appearance last July 25, this encyclical letter has created, or rather aggravated, a division within the Catholic Church over the topic of birth control. The first speaker was Dr. Malloy, a Lakehead gynecologist, who was quick to point out that contrary to popular opinion, this papal letter is not about the pill. In fact, it manages to go on for twelve pages without ever being more speci fie than "artificial birth control", which means a great variety of different things to different people. Dr. Malloy said his first reaction to the encyclical was one of embarrassment that the Pope had spoken out against the pill, he went on to say that the Pope's decision has not changed any of the views which he held prior to the encyclical, or his approach to his patients' problems in the area of birth control. The Doctor noted that this was significant since the Lakehead area has no facilities for family counselling in this field, and the onus is therefore largely on the doctors serving our community. Dr. Malloy then quoted a short section from the encyclical: "The Church, calling men back to the observance of the norms of the natural law, as interpreted by her constant doctrine, teaches that each and every marriage act must remain open to the transmission of Ii fe." "This is one item for which, I am sure, the Pope would have to defend himself, as he is trying to do at the present time," the doctor said. Dr. Malloy allowed that this could be a "recipe for happy married life" for some people, but he maintained that every couple should use the birth control method best suited to their needs and preferences. Wide and easy road Dr. Malloy quoted another section of the letter, which was discussed later in the question session: "Let them consider, fir~t of all, how wide and easy a road would thus be opened up toward conjugal infidelity and the general lowering of morality. Not much experience is needed in order to know human weakness, and to understand that men •· especially the young, who are so vulnerable on this point •· have need of encouragement to be faithful to the moral law, so that they must not be offered some easy means of eluding its observance. It is also to be feared that the man, growing used to the employment of anticonceptive practices, may finally lose respect for the woman, and, no longer caring for her physical and psychological equilibrium, may come to the point of considering her as a mere instrument of selfish enjoyment, and no longer as his respected and beloved companion." "I feel here that he is wrong." said Dr. Malloy. "From the example of the crosssection of Lakehead society with which I deal in my practice, I would not say that the use of artificial methods of birth control is going to weaken them morally. I take exception on this point." Later on, during the question period, Dr. Asimi, of Lakehead University's Sociology Department, spoke of the same quotation saying that any standards that are weak enough to be destroyed by something of this nature are ready to be changed anyway. Student-faculty solidarity became a reality as Dr. Asimi gave his address. He said "the subjects discussed in the encyclical; marriage, love, sex, conjugal fidelity, family etc., are not eternal values, but strictly social values which man has evolved over centuries of experience because they served some use• ful purpose. When these things have ceased to serve their purpose, they are dead things, and the societies shed them." The defence Father Leo Lafreniere, a priest with a degree in Sexology who is also Supervisor of Family Life Education for the F.W. Roman Catholic Separate School Board, had the unfortunate job of defending the Pope's Encyclical. Much of his talk was challenged. A question from the floor required Father Lafreniere to defend his statement that · there is no threat of overpopulation, and no food shortage. He had stated it is simply not true that an unchecked birth rate will result in famine, quoting such figures as "only 15% of some South American nations are being pro• fitably used." A student asked Father Lafreniere what basis the Church had for dictating the formula for happy marriage. Father Lafreniere began his reply with the words, "Through centuries of experience", at which point Dr. Asimi interjected "Whose experience, Sir?, and the mood was set for the rest of the question period. D{. Asimi also pointed out that the encyclical forbids the use of artificial methods of birth control and is therefore already out of UVic wants out of CUS VICTORIA (CUP) •• The University of Victoria has added itself to the growing list of schools across Canada clammering to get out of the Canadian Union of Students. date since the concept of"artificial" changes almost daily. After quoting from _the first paragraph of the letter • "The most serious duty of transmitting human life, for which married persons are the free and responsible collaborators of God the Creator" • Dr. Asimi asked the audience if they understood how someone who was "free and responsible" could at the same .time be a "collaborator". "Even the concept of being a collaborator implies some free will, and you can't put someone in a straight-jacket and say 'You collaborate or else!'." He added if men are "free" partners of God in procreation, then the Church has no right to dictate in this field, and if men are "responsible", then the Church should not assume that men will make irresponsible decisions without the guidance of the Church's law. "Trying to bring these things into a divine, spiritualistic, moralistic realm is against the health and welfare of the social corporate body.''

The UVic council signed the CUS commitment form at the national union's September congress saying they would pay their fees and remain in CUS for this year . CUS's national council, which met over the weekend (Oct. 25-27) in Toronto, passed a resolution saying "firm action" would be taken if councils did not make good on their commitment. CUS vice-president Wynton Semple said it was made clear at the congress what signing the commitment form entailed. The intent of the national council resolution, he said, was that, if necessary, court action would be taken against universities such as UVic which refused to pay their fees. The move follows last week's circulation of a pet· ition by members of the council urging a de facto withdrawal from CUS. Their reasons were mainly financial. Student president Frank Frektich strongly opposed the motion to delete the CUS budget. He felt he was obligated to stick with the previous pledge of support forthe national student union.

And at Lakehead University the -latest medium is television. The university's television studio, under the guidance of Producer/ Director Pat Wesley and Jon Ogden and Technical Director Bill Currie, has been recently equipped to handle complex educational productions. The studio is being used extensively after two years of experimentation. A project of major importance underway in the studio this year concerns videotaped lectures in Psychology, Anthropology, Math• ematics and English. Taped in the television studio, the lectures are shown in specially monitared classrooms both on and off campus. Lakehead is the only university with an offcampus educational program of this kind in Canada. Inaddition to the video-tapes, students and faculty are producing independently two 16mm black and white films with the facilities. One of them, The Film Makers, a ten minute short, will be released in about a month. The Fly is the next one which will run almost an hour. Shooting will start in the spring. Plays for a modern drama course are also taped for later use in class. Producer/ Directors Pat G. Wesley and Jon L. Ogden co-ordinate the various operations of the studio, channel the output of people, projects and electronic apparatus onto a single roll of one-inch videotape. Technical Director Bill Currie and his assistant, Jerry Paglaro operate a maze of electronic equipment in the master control booth. Mr. Wesley is also a lecturer in Psychology at the University. Mr. Wesley spends an equal amount of time in front of the camera as behind it as he frequently conducts interviews with children and adults for his Introductory Psychology courses. The tapes are used for both on and off-campus programs. Mr. Wesley joined Lakehead University in 1966 and began work in the television studio that same year. As part time director of the studio last year, he aided in increasing the utilization of the studio's services by various university departments. Producer-Director Jon L. Ogden, former chief producer and director of CKPR-TV, who recently joined the studio's production staff, is experienced in many phases of television production. He holds an honors diploma in -photo by McOuat Pat Wesley with son and daµghter.

During taping sessions, Jon operates the master switcher in the main control booth. From a vantage point on an elevated platform he watches pictures fed from three cameras to various monitors. He can feed any desired pictures and special effect onto the video tape. He controls camera movement in the studio by instructing the operators over specially-equipped headsets. Technical Director Bill Currie has been with the studio since 1966. At that time he performed the duties of cameraman, audio man, switcher and director. Mr. Currie is responsible for the design of the monitaring and preview system in the control room as well as the audio board which enables technicians to select sound effects from any one of 14 sources. Both Currie and Ogden train the university students who operate the studio's three Sylvania television cameras. A resident of the Lakehead for 23 years, Bill holds diplomas in Electrical and Radar Technology. He served with the Royal Canadian Air Force for six years as an electrical and radar technician and worked for two years on the engineering staff at CKPR-TV prior to joining Lakehead University. The three directors are enthusiastic and optimistic a bout the future of the educational television program. Additional lectures in a variety of academic subjects are already on the planning boards. A videotape lecture exchange with other Canadian Universities has been started by the studio this year and is certain to include a greater number of participants in the future. Wesley and- Ogden have just completed arrangements for a bi-monthly television program called "Montage" which will be seen on local television in the near future. The 15 minute programs will be videotaped in the studio and will involve interviews, discussions and special events concerning Lakehead University. �argus. november 7, 1968, page 14 Psych faculty closed meetings questioned A meeting of the physchology student-faculty committee last Wednesday elected one student and one faculty member as executives, decided to to remain separate from the psychology club, and discussed student attendance at faculty meetings. The committee was set up to facilitate communications between faculty and students and may become the decision making body of the psychology department. It is the only student-faculty organization on campus. Garth Bentney, psychology student, was elected chairman, and Dr. Evan, faculty member, is vice-chairman. They will hold office until the end of the year but can be removed by a vote of non-confidence. It was decided the corn- mittee should remain separate from the psychology club, to better become a channel for improved communication between student faculty and administration. The meeting moved on to a heated discussion of student representation on faculty meetings before adjourning after two hours of debate and a diversity of opinion. During the course of the argument the original question evolved from "why would a student want to attend faculty meetings?" to "what goes on in a faculty meeting that a student should not be able to see and participate in?" While some typical faculty functions such as the hiring and firing of professors are of genuine concern to the student, it was suggested that other aspects of the faculty role, involving perhl!:PS personal psychiatric councilling, may be exclusive to student participation for ethical reasons. Dr. Melnick noted that the political effectiveness of the faculty is sometimes bound up in strategic timing in revealing policy, and student attendance at faculty meetings may destroy this effectiveness by making policies public prematurely.

Wednesday (OcL SO) he announced plans to run against Cardinal in a byelection December 4 in the provincial riding of Bagot, formerly held by the late premier Daniel Johnson. He is the only cabinet minister who does not hold a seat in the legislature.

' The four, frustrated by the apparent inability of the Council to do anything mean· ingful, have initiated a form of town hall democracy to consider academic and socio• political matters. Missi Powell (Vice-Presi• dent of Academics), Dennis Wallace (Director of Finance), Owen Marks (Arts 1V Councillor), and Simon Hoad, (Arts 111 Councillor) together con· resignations pages 6,7 Dennis Wallace, AMS Director of Finance, ponders resignation. AMS Council rejects Senate seats, accepts sub-committees AMS Council rejected an offer of three Senate seats Wednesday but accepted seats on three Senate sub-commit· tees. AMS President Peter McCormack stated "Council cannot accept the three seats on Senate because of its policy of not sitting on boards with closed meetings". Council did not express the desire to reconsider this policy, and as a result the offer was rejected. The procedure adopted for the selection of representatives to the sub-committees calls for nominations for the positions from the student body. Nominees will be voted on by the AMS and the three Society Councils at a joint meetingon Wednesday, Nov.13. Mr. McCormack said, "I would have liked us to have been on all the committees. However, I am pleased that we are on the ones we are on." Referendum dentTherepresentatives sub-committees stu• are to be seated on the Admissions and postponed Scholarship Committee, the Lakehead' s CUS referendum has been postponed until after the Christmas holidays. Last Wednesday the Coun• cil voted 12 to three to hold the referendum concurrent with the AMS general elections in February. AMS President Peter McCormack explained the reason: "We don't have the resource people available on campus to inform the students properly about CUS. In the meantime the students should be filled in on CUS so that they will be better prepared when the time comes." l Judicial Committee, and the Library Committee. One member of the Senate stated he personally was disappointed that Council saw fit to reject the offers of the three seats because of the closed meetings. He felt, however, that the Senate would not open its meetings. Another source stated there is a strong element on the Senate which is opposed to student rep· resentation of any kind. The seats were offered by the Senate following their Oct. 16 meeting. Lakehead students are not among the first either to be offered Senate seats or to reject them because of closed meetings. Universities across the country opened their doors to token student representation last year. Recently the University of Manitoba Senate opened its meetings to induce students to take seats. Other universities with open Senates are McGill, Simon Fraser, B.C., Waterloo, Al~rta, and York. demned the AMS Council as ineffective. Miss Powell strongly attacked the AMS for its disconcern with important issues. She £el t her usefulness to students was blocked by the Council. "I have come to the conclusion that my staying on in the AMS is a waste of time. It is a dissipation of my energy, and on the council I am utterly ineffective." Mr. Hoad also felt the Council had become incapable of acting on serious matters: "Our collective rigidity has reduced us to a select set of social conveners. A large portion of our time is spent discussing beaurocratic mea• sures to perpetuate ourselves." Mr. Wallace said radical changes in attitudes and actions are needed on the AMS. "We are inadequate administratively, philosophically and as an effective power group to carry out the policies which we feel a need to initiate. The administration realizes we are powerless. The structure is essentially satisfactory for the students of L.U., but the people making up the council are not suited for their positions." Mr. Wallace's resignation will not take effect until Nov. 30, in order to prevent financial chaos. Mr. Marks attacked the AMS structure. "The AMS cannot truly be a representative council for Lakehead students. We students are compulsory members of a union, which, because of this fact, cannot be a vanguard student move• ment." Town Hall democracy page 12 He proposed a voluntary student union operating on the principle of participatory democracy. His resignation is also held off until Nov. 30, after the seminar on Indian society, which he is deeply ~ involved in. AMS President Peter McCormack said he realized the AMS is in a mess, but feels it his duty to remain in office and attempt to better the situation. Petition for equal parking A petition for equal parking rights for students is being circulated on campus. "We have about 600 signatures already and expect a great many more as a large number of students have yet to see the petition," stated Ron Baker, Chairman of the Emergency Parking Committee. The petition was initiated when the Administration did not send a representative to the Emergency Parking Committee meeting on Oct. 29. At that meeting the possible elimination of reserved parking, a system of equal prices for all, and student control of the parking lots was to be discussed. Mr. Baker said, "The purpose of the peti· tion is to find out how much support we have from the student body before we decide what to do next. 1£ we get about 1500 signatures neither the Administration nor the faculty will be able to ignore us." The petition reads, "We as members, of the Lakehead University Community, feel that present parking regulations are inefficient aqd unjust. A first come, first served system with equal prices for all is necessary. We therefore request removal of the present privileged parking system." In addition to the petition, two members of the parking committee, Fred Poulter and Simon Hoad, are preparing a brief to present to the Faculty Association at their next meeting. The Emergency Parking Committee was formed at the AMS Council meeting of October 24 following the rejection of the recommendations of the first parking committee. That committee, made up of two students and three administrators, had decided that the AMS Judicial Committee should be responsible for levying fines on all cars improperly parked or without the proper sticker. �r - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ~ - - - - - - - ~ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ~ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ~ - - - - - - - - - - -= 18'\JIS, november 14, 1988, page 2 -----------------------, AMS considers more CUS _This week • • • THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 1.4 Frosh ·Basketball Game vs. Dinty's • Field House • 6:~m.

Control over one's material environment is a fundamental democratic right. The demand for control must seek to cowiter the power of the University as a corporation with the autonomous power of the students." The first specific resolution was "we (the students) should have a hand in hiring and firing and reviewing of contracts."

He drank one and raffled the other off to the men in his battalion, the proceeds going to increase a fund for children of members of his unit who died in action. The astonishing sum of four thou• sand dollars was soon collected from the soldiers, and the man who won the bottle was too overcome with emotion to drink it.

Leaving at 10:30 from residence, the bus and several cars travelJed the 60 miles to the park in about one and a half hours. The remaining five or six miles to the Sleeping Giant were covered either on foot or by volkswagon, depending on the energy of the 90 individuals. After lunch, the mountain was attacked, the top reached, and refreshments were brought out. Later that afternoon, the move was down to Marie Louise Lake for a bonfire, singsong, stories, food and drink.

The author, a native of France, was in Paris throughout the disturbances. The French word is "autogestion". The idea has become the key to a free, democratic, human socialism. Everywhere, in universities, schools, factories, offices, associations,even in families. the authoritarian, vertical power-structure has been shaken, if only for a short time. In Nantes, the whole body of the workers not only occupied but completely controlled the Sud-Aviation factory; in the C.S.F. factory in Brest, out of solidarity, the strikers produced"walkietalkies" for Paris demonstrators! People have become suddenly aware of the maddening circle of production for consumation and capitalist profit in western societies. They do not intend replacing it wish that other hopeless circle of production for production and bureaucratic profit in U.S.S.R. By the end of June, after the general election, de Gaulle's order seemed reestablished. Financial capital and Communist bureaucracy, and the U.S.A., and the Soviet Union, all could eventually relax. They had been so scared! But everybody felt that the recent even ts had only been the first of a series. Hope To thousands of young and older people, students, schoolboys, teachers, workers, employees, artists, and so on, May and June mean extraordinary expectations. Why such a hope? and a hope of what? From the manifesto of the action committee "NOUS SOMMES EN MARCHE•• •• "We go forward" (SOrbonnecensier) -Accept this banality: the whole body of workers can only consume what the whole body of workers produce. The whole body of workers must choose what they want to consume, in order to know what they must produce. -Publicity: for modem capi• talism, it is a "necessary and expensive evil", In fact, it is expensive only for the consumer, !iiince he bears the whole cost of it. -To produce what we want to consume, and to consume what we want to produce, will only be possible if "economics" ts everybody's business, in self-managed units prciducing·and-consum· ing "goods" and "culture... Student-worker solidarity For years this slogan had been mere wishful thinking. In May it came true. In some exemplary places, during the strike, the workers' diffidence was broken, the endevours of the Communist Party and the C.G. T. Union to keep factories and universities apart failed. Students and workers fought together in Paris and Flins, discussed with one another in the Sorbonne, organized the life of a whole town in Nantes. "The workers will take over the fiag of thestruggle from the frail hands of the students." -on a banner carried by demonstrators marching to Renault-Billancourton May 17. This is perhaps naive poetry. However, thanks to the students, the workers have been reminded of some half-forgotten truths: classsociety, exploitation and the Universities: what forl Before May, people went to universities to get knowledge (but the selection made it very hard) and to get a job (which was far from being guaranteed). r•~s~,;- b£iif8 Quick thinking and immediate action by Ted Broughton of Lakehead University's Physi• cal Plant department saved the life of a Toronto man Mon. Nov. 4. Malcolm Davidson, a conciliation officer, collapsed during ~ meeti":g. betw~en the Uni vers1 ty Admm1strat1on and the Building Services Em· ployees Union. Mr. Davidson, an el4erly gentleman, showed no signs of a pulse or heartbeat when out or became integrated in the established society. The claim for student power was a revolt against all these facts. Before May, a faculty member seldom spoke to a student. In May, they met on the same side of oL barricades-•which irrevocably changed the relation• ship. Among the hundreds of proposals moved by student-and-faculty commissions in May and June, those of "Nous Sommes en Marche" go farthest. -Since the barricades, there are no longer students, nor professors, nor ( soon) proletarians. -Any ex-student must become a teacher and still keep being taught. -Any new education unit (factory, business, publicschool, high-school, uni· versity) will be run by the whole body of the "teaching· being-taught-workers." -The full-time student is dead, so is the part-time student. Everybody will study if everybody produces, consumes and studies at the same time. -Any relationship gives education to both partners in the relationship. -Oppressive education being dead, education will become expressive. BERLIET - LIBERTE Berliet is the name of an automobile factory. When occupying the place where they had spent day after day of grey life, young workers climbed up the main entrance: mixing the big letters of the trade mark, they composed the word FREEDOM. Those who sincerely lived the experience of May '68 know that this revolution meant poetry. In May and June, hundreds of anonymous poets, writing on walls, composing leaflets and manifestoes, improvising arguments and speeches and new forms of action, discovered new relations between words and things. Into a world of shabbiness and hatred, May brought joy. Those who experienced it, now believe that it can be revived. Already on May 20, Daniel Cohn-Bendit said to Jean-Paul Sartre: "The important thing is ... to launch an experiment... which doesn't last long but opens a way: one catches a glimpse of something, swiftly ... But it is enough to prove that such a thing may exist." Threats and prospects There are serious threats. p·ower Since the end ot June, government repression has been hard against political militants. The "Movement•• must also look out for repression coming from the Communists. As a May wall-writing says humor• ously: ''Humanity will only be happy when the last bureaucrat will be hanged with the bowels or the last capitalist... (Sorbonne) In the universities, the government tries to pacify students by offering lavish reforms. This opens the prospect of universities being "red" bases for radical criticism of oppressive societies. If only the action committees find a democratic and efficient organization, and if the spirit of May is not forgotten, France might well become the first western industrialized country where the curse of techno• cracy would be overcome and where man could change his life.

The people of Lakehead University now have a chance to represent themselves in the newly-formed Town Hal I, where all can participate. Town Hall democracy is the most direct form of self-government possible. But Town Hall democracy cannot function unless the people actively participate, unless they actively accept the responsibility of selfdetermination. Within the Town Hall students have a chance to make their own decisions, to think for themselves, to try on new ideas. For if the students really participate, Town Hal I wi 11 become the most powerful voice in the University, and its decisions will become University policy. I But hold on - this is Student Power talk - radical-dangerous. At least that is what it will be called, because those presently in power positions in the University have no need of democracy. They will try to suppress it. Town Hal I wi 11 have trouble finding a meeting place. It wi 11 have trouble finding a meeting time. Motions to limit participation or to I imit its power wi II be brought up. Rules and regulations which would strangle its effectiveness wi 11 be suggested. Such hindrances will only be pushed aside by an aware, participating student body.

At best, words are poor conveyors of information. They are imprecise and must be used with the utmost care if they are to do what we want them to do. When they are used im• precisely, improperly and without regard for the many dangers inherent in them, they can tum upon the user, confounding and confusing him and eventuaUy, be the cause of the user's destruction. We of the left are in danger of falling victim to our own words. We have proclaimed to one and all that we are revolutionaries and involved in revolution. We have rroclaimed that the revolution has begun and i red flags are a sign of revolution, then indeed it has. All of us use this word, "revolution," like a manufacturer making certain that the name of his J,>toduct g_ets in every sentence of a commercial. And because it makes us feel good to be revolutionaries involved in revolution, we fail to ask ourselves if we are, indeed, in· volved in revolution; if we are, indeed, revo• lutionaries. To a limited degree, it is clear that we are involved in a revolution. A revolution, how• ever, is not the revolution and too many of us mistake the former for the latter. The revo• lution we are presently involved in is a cul• tural one, an uprising of the young against the values which the society is based upon and perpetuates. It is a revolution which has involved an explosive and painful groping for new life styles, new mores, new music, new uses of the mass means of communication. It is a revolution which has seen the \young go into the streets to confront the present with the new of their uncut hair, the new of their multi-colored clothes, covering less and less of their bodies (which are real and good and beautiful and yes yes it is nice to touch each other, isn't it?). They have been willing to accept the consequences of their new life• styles of lying on the grass openly passing 'joints,• of saying no .to the American govern· ment's immoral demand for two years of your life in a uniform to fight a war, of repeatedly placing their bodies in the streets. It has been a cultural revolution, but not a political revolution. It has been a cultural revolution with political consequences, political ramifications, political meaning, because culture and politics cannot ~ separated. It has been a middle-class cultural revolution, bearing no similarity to the cultural revolution in China, which was named with scientific prec1s1on. The proletarian Cultural Revolution. The proletariat have been the spectators of our revolution, eagerly reading the newspaper and magazine articles about us, but still regarding us as different from them. ll has been a cultural revolution which has brought an ever-growing consciousness of the necessity for a revolution which changes the economic structure of the country because all of the cultural, social and political insti• tutions of the country evolved to justify and maintain the /economic structure. While our revolution has threatened the nation's sense of psychological security, the economic struc· ture remains intact, leisurely chewing up millions of people every day. We defeat /ourselves by calling what we have brought about "revolution.". It is a step toward that revolution, but we have not begun to approach that day when we have seized power, held it and begun to create a system that is based on a sense of community (which does not mean living together physically). When we call what we have done thus far revolution, we give ourselves the feeling that we have done much, more than we actually have. We blind ourselves to the difficulties in front of us. We blind ourselves to the dangers on every side. The feeling that revolution is a necessity is the mere beginning and is really nothing to compliment oneself ·for feeling. Anyone who is not afraid to feel his humanity feels the necessity for the creation of a cociety in which man can truly be man and woman can truly be woman. The implementation of that revolution is a job requiring a scientific precision. The tide did not stop because King Canute yelled,; at it.

This system will die only if we do everything from having a correct analysis to getting shoelaces for the guerrillas who will one day be fighting. This system is highly organized and to be certain that it is maintained, the caretakers of the attend to every detail, even to the extent of trying to anticipate what details will need attending to in 50 years. We say that we are involved in a revolution because we feel better about ourselves. A revolutiona~, however, does not exist for himself. In fact it is his own self which exists least for him, because at the same time he feels revolutionized within, he feels the pain of the selves that have not been revolutionized. And as long as one man is enslaved, all of us are enslaved. Thus, Che who could've rested on his laurels, went to Bolivia. The revolution is not yet. The seeds have been planted, but whether those seeds will receive the sunlight, water and proper cul tivation which they desperately need, depends upon our ability to look honestly at ourselves and recognize that the time has come when it is suicidal self-indulgence to engage in roman• tic role-playing. When this system is threat· ened, it bares its teeth and claws and fights and cares not who sees. (The networks photo• graphed the beatings of Chicago in color.) They system plays for keeps. It will destroy us or we will destroy it. It is that simple. As Rap says, "in revolution one either walks off the battlefield victorious or is left lying there." At least, if we are left lying there, let it not be because we committed suicide. reprinted from the National Guardian Talk over your future with the Bell employment reps when they visit your campus on NOV. 21 &22 GRADS-TO-BE-IN: ENGINEERING· SCIENCE· COMMERCE • ARTS • BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION Ask at your Placement Office for informative booklets and arrange for an interview now I @ Bell Canada �.._____ sgua, novernber 14, 1988, page 6 11 Dennis Wallace - efforts were not followed up,, I, Dennis Wallace, mQve that the members of the Alma Mater Society accept my resignation as Director of Finance of the Alma Mater Society of Lakehead University, effective November 30, '1968. My resignation is based on more than premise and it is not the result of one isolated event. Rather, I am resigning because I feel the Alma Mater Society has reached, and I purposely use the past tense, a point where we need attitudes and actions radically different from the present ones. We are inadequate administratively, philosophically, and as an effective power group to carry out any policies which we feel a need to initiate. After much deliberation and discussion with others, I decided that the needed reforms will not occur without drastic action on the part of some members of the A.M.S. Council. It is too easy to slough off the criticisms of the student body or others as we seem to be an elitist group, but if there is a falling out of Council members perhaps the student body and the remaining Council members will realize the gravity of the sitt•ation. I had felt it an obligation on my part to remain Treasurer until the end of my term which is but three months away. However, I feel the situation is too important to take the easy way out. Since we are not elected on a slate, there is no real cohesion to prevent one or more members from opting out. Our inability to act is a direct result of the system of election. The A.M.S. as a body has never been representative, nor will it be under its present circumstances. We were elected under the conditions of the I950's which no longer exist. We are merely social conveners and not social reformists, even in the most minor of circumstances. The Administration realizes we are a 1 powerless, unrepresentative body, and to illustrate I use the example of President Tamblyn's dismay concerning the fact that after the Parking Committee made its recommendations, which were accepted, another was formed and then still another after that. When it reaches the point where the Administration, who would by nature want a docile Council for their own ends, finds the A.M. S. useless then it is time for the A.M.S. to improve itself. I feel that the structure is essentially satisfactory far the students of Lakehead University, but the .people making up the A.M.S. C.Ouncil are not suited for their positions. We are in a sense, more oppressive than the Administration. I back this statement up by the example of C.U.S. Resolutions, where individuals openly flaunt issues of high importance, or do not possess the judgement to realize that they are voting in completely contradictory terms on various issues. We haggle interminably over trivialities, such as, permission to buy a $30.00 Argus ad or whether we are going to have a concert in some certain fashion, but ignore to the point of being negligent, such critical issues as C.U.S. or our powers in the running of the University. Instead of being the initiators of actions, we react when they are presented to us. The usual result is to recog• nize that the situation exists and then drop the issue to replace it with debates on more concerts. By no means am I saying I am innocent. What I do say is photos by Rick Todd that I cannot continue to rationalize my posiuon and help to keep alive an unconsciously (or consciously) repressive body. If I were to do so under present circumstances, it would only be to enhance my personal prestige and possibilities for a bet• ter job because of my position. Furthermore, I am spending some thirty or more hours a week working as Treasurer and I feel my efforts are to no avail. I would not mind a lower academic standing and a lack of free time if it were not for the overriding fact that my efforts, as well as those of others, are wasted because they are not carried out further along the line. Per~~ps some people are feeling that we are already forming an efficient bureaucracy with the recent proliferation of office hours, forms for any conceivable requests, and an outwardly functioning system. However, such is an illusion. In conclusion, I would say that the Alma Mater Society is floundering and because of this is in no position to handle the many important issues which have confronted us this year. I do not fe.el that I could be a member of the Council as it presently exists because we cannot be isolated and thus insulated from .what goes on at other places, nor can we toss aside important issues. Simon Hoad 11 Council merely social convenors" I find myself more and more unable to fill my position as an Arts councillor on the present AMS council to my satisfaction. A student council can be a body for the programing of the social year. A student council could also be a body concerned with wider matters, ie, the role of the student in the university, or within the community. Either view of student councils is possible and within its own framework of preconceptions equally valid. As a council we have become incapable of acting or con• sidering serious matters beyond the arranging of Friday night dances. Our collective group rigidity has reduced us to a select set of social convenors. A large portion of our time is spent dis• cussing beaurocratic measures to self perpetuate ourselves. I cannot continue to sit on the present council under this set of conditions which so strongly conflict with my own view of student politics. My further appearances in the council chamber will be in the capacity of interested student. I will continue my member• ship on those committees or other activities I am now engaged in. Here I feel work is being done which is valuable and re• lates directly to the interests of Lakehead University students. I therefore, resign my position on the AMS council. I would recommend that future AMS council candidates make their respective philosophies concerning the function of student govern• ment known before the elections. �largus, november 14, 1968. page 7 ■ Jerry Farber's article, STUDENT AS NIGGER, appears to have by-passed Lakehead University; in this respect, and in this respect only, may the AMS be said to be representative. As I widerstand it, student government has undergone a function crisis. Student government has had to develop from the social convening function of the rooty-tooty fifties to the social convening socio-policical orientation function of the sixties. This means that student government has had to combine these two functions; by the socio-political function, I mean that involvement in issues from buses to students on Senate to Biafra This latter function has become an important one in the student government of the sixties. For the AMS of Lakehead University, the fwiction crisis has reached a critical level. I have no idea how other councils have approached this crisis; the AMS has not approached it at all. It has drifted into the socio-political orientation without ever having considered whether this is a function that the organization can fulfil or wishes to fulfil. This has serious consequences for the organization and its members. The members of this council fulfil a valid function as social convenors, •but the socio-political orientation has never been considered and thus the members are not aware what this entails and do not consider seriously the issues involved in this function. In concrete· terms, this means that the reason that the CUS resolution debate and voting show little or no evidence of logic, rationality or consistency, is that the members of this council do not take seriously the CUS resolutions. My point here is not that some resolutions for which I voted were defeated and in consequence, my nose is out of joint, but that the resolutions were not regarded as important - and the incredible voting patterns substantiate this. The implication of the attack is that, for me, the AMS is a waste of time. I do not mean that I plan to terminate any affiliation that I have with this organization, but that my activities will be limited to those committees on which I serve, and will exclude the sort of dissipation of energy that these council meet• ings mean to me. Of course, I may be attacked on the ground that I am opting Missi Powe// .. "'Council not academically oriented" out· this is not true, . . . I have no intention of .opting out. Ho~ever, I ,!iave come to realize that the coun~il ~oes not take seriousi~• that aspect of student government which interests me most - the academic freedom, the betterment of !he lot of the student both in university and in society, and most 11Dportant,the recognition that a student is not a membe_r of a select group that can deny its responsibility as part of soci~ty. . Therefore, I have come . to the conclusion that my staying on in AMS is a waste of time. It is a dissipation of my energy; and on the council, I am utterly ineffective. It i~ as though_ the e~ecutive of the Kiwanis were attempting to revise the social legislation of the nation. .

It is for this reason that I cannot, in all conscience, remain a member of this body. I think the whole problem revolves around the fact that we students are compusory members of a union which, becauseof this fact cannot be a vanguard student movement. In other words, because of its membership, the AMS can only react to a situation, not initiate it. For because this union is compulsory, it creates an unfortunate effect in that the mass of members of such a union are not noted for their keen interest in academics or student affairs; and yet these are the same persons who are voting to elect members to this Council. So you see my main argument against remaining on the AMS Council is not one of personalities, but rather of structure. This type of top-heavy structure, heading such an anarchistic student body can only be effective when organizing such placebos as dances and concerts. It has no hope taking any firm action in the line of social change because the majority of its members find their personal concerns more important. This Council is partly to blame for this situation. It has shown only limited interest in making its functions more democratic. To be sure it has guaranteed open meetings to all, but it has also passed a resolution calling for a general town hall meeting at leas t once a month. So far, since this has been passed, the AMS has done nothing to bring such a meeting together. My solution to this quandry is simple. Once I step off the Council, I will attempt to have a voluntary student union formed, operating on the principle of participatory democracy. I believe such an organization is feasible at Lakehead, mainly because it is a small campus. If the members of such a union can truly feel thay can affect change at the university level (~ feeling which is absent among most members of the AMS Council), then this new wiion will be useful. It is, at this time in our history, a good idea to attempt to form a constructive grass roots alternative to turgid AMS set up. However this does not mean I will neglect the duties I have incured as a councillor for Arts on the AMS Council. I will still be greatly involved in the atte!llpt to· initiate_ a course of. India_n studies at Lakehead. I thus intend to remain on Council until the seminar on Indian Society can be held at the· end of November. My reasons for so doing are quite simple. I have been entrusted by the AMS with $1,0~. ~ intend t<? be responsi~le, ~s a councillor, to the AMS, unul this rather important seminar is held. The Indian Culture Committee needs a liason with Council, and at present I intend to be that liason as effectively as possible. My other reason for remaining might be construed as so~ewhat self-righteous. I do not know of any member. on the_ exis_ting Council that would be willing to work on this semmar m a full time capacity. Therefore, let me reiterate my positon. I will resign from Council as soon as the Indian seminar is held, not for reason of personalities, but rather for those of ~S structure. I think ~ alternative structure can not only be achieved but also can be mfinitely more worthwhile than the existing governing structure. �_mp,s, november 14, 1968, page 8 Operation Crossroads Africa: Sierra Leone Helping to build an addi• tion to a Medical Clinic in Sierra Leone, Africa and experiencing Africa "with and through the Africans with whom we worked" is the Summer '68 experience of one Lakehead University student.

ONTARIO PROVINCE OF OPPORTUNITY PARIS (CUP) -- Student dissatisfaction continues in France as schools in three French cities were occupied Tuesday (Nov. 5). Rebels seized several administration offices at the National College of Fine Arts in Paris in a demand for curriculum changes. Science students were driven from administrative offices in the University of Grenoble in a protest over the lack of student representation in decision-making at the school. They produced a newspaper and distributed leaflets to publicize their complaints. Marseille high schools were hit with a student strike after a student was summoned for discipline over distributing leaflets demanding educational reform. Pelletier supports a ··university of People'' OTTAWA (CUP) •• A uni• versity of conscience or a university of reflection was the choice secretary of state Gerard Pelletier gave admin• istrators Wednesday. Pelletier, speaking to 600 administrators at the major banquet of the Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada, left no doubt as to which alternative they should take: "It is necessary for you to break down the barrier of the aristocratic university and rebuild it as the univer• sity of the people." Administrators, said Pelle• tier, must define their role to be able to ''rationalize" it. "Surely your role must not be to maintain the status quo," he said "Rather you must expand and develop techniques, practices, meth• ods of learning and most important, the development of thought." He said burning of the university would not be stop• ped by holding "back-room meetings on how to handle the student radicals." But, it would be stopped only by consideration of "why stu• dent radicals exist, what role they could legitimately play in the university and by a serious consideration of their ideas." Pelletier examined the relationship of the state, industry and the university in his before-dinner speech, par• ticularly in reference to re• search. He emphasized the necessity of extensive research for Canadian universities but added: "The university at all costs must avoid becoming the hand-maid of industry." Judicial Committee charged Former prosecutor Art Looye leveled direct charges of incompetence at the three justices of the AMS Judicial Committee last Wednesday. The AMS will appoint three temporary justices to consider the matter in a Judicial Committee hearing. The· acting Chief Justice will decide whether the hearing will be open. Art Looye was dismissed as prosecutor by the Judicial Committee Oct. 31 "for incom• petence and for his behavior m court" according to Chief Justice Rene Larson. ~a•••• -- Stereos Television Tape Recorders 823-7686 Musical Instrument■ Record Players Radios 414 Victoria Ave., Fort William ...

A Group (Any Bag) Contact -Photo by Todd ladder in Vision Fugitives completed the list. Costuming was also kept at a minimum, being for the most part simply ballet tights, jeans, and the occassional representational dress. The group performs through ~vemment grants, which are not yet sufficient to support the dancers monetarily. The average age of the dancers is 20; some are high school students in Winnipeg, others work in the city. Laura Willows, one of the youngest of the group at 16, has been dancing for 11 years. She has been with the Contemporary Dancers for one year. Her favourite number is Vision Fugitives, in which she portrays the figure of Joy in an otherwise joyless setting. "I get to act in Vision Fugitives", she said. "My music is about joy--mine is joyful music." "In some dances we do portray characters, but in others, we portray moods", she added. Miss Willows spoke of contemporary dancing as "ballet with no point shoes and more hips". Another member of the group, Daniel Lordon, was in his first performance with the group Saturday night. A full-time student with the Royal Winnipeg Ballet Company, he spoke of the relationship between modem dance and ballet. "Modem dance uses classi- cal ballet training" , he said, "But it uses more natural type movements. Ballet trains you to move against your natural movements, but at the same time gives you complete control over your body. Your top is co-ordinated with your bottom, your arms and legs-it's just that regimented." "Modem dance", he added, "deals more with the feeling of the individual and the interpretation of the individual. It is a combination of mood and music." And so it was. The combination of mood and music presented by the Contemporary Dance com~ny was appreciated by the maJority of those who viewed their masterful perfonnance.

Most people would rather drive a FORD! MY FRIENDS ALL DRIVE FORDS!! DRIVE A FORD!!! Simon Fraser University voted 1128-685 to stay in the union. The policies of Martin Loney, CUS president-elect and past president of Simon Fraser University student council, and his activist executive of this summer, seemed doomed to failure following the fall election of a moderate slate to the SFU council. Loney was elated b7. the results and said: 'This should tum the tide for CUS". He also claimed, as a· result of his recent tour of the west, "it's very likely the Univetsity of Alberta will vote to join CUS by the end of the year." Because of Loney's position with CUS, all eyes turned to SFU to see if students there had placed the moderates in office as a reaction to student power at that campus or as the prelude to rejecting CUS policy and membership. Rob Walsh, council president, was "disappointed" with the results of the vote. He and his moderate council , voted 7-8 last week to pull out of CUS because it was a waste of money and didn't represent the majority of students in Canada. But their constituents didn't agree. Jim Harding, former activist vice-president, said: "Moderates need the mass media to scare new students. When they haven't got it, students can translate their self interests into votes." Percy • Smith, executive secretary of the Canadian Association of University Teachers, gave strong support to the union in his address to the SFU student council last week. He said: "I view the partial disintegration of CUS as nothing short of disaster." ~LKE THE HOME OF THE BRANDS See the complete line for '69 at ... GIBSON 413 VICTORIA AVE.

Edward Walker, Arts 11 l, son of Alexander Walker, Store Superintendent at Chapples, swore out one of the four affidavits which led to the ex parte injunction served November 15 prohibiting all picketing until Tues. Nov. 19. Labor's side of the story was not beard by the Judge. A Supreme Court bearing on Wednesday November 20 in Toronto will decide if any further legal action is necessary. The other three affidavits were sworn out by Lloyd Burdon, President and General-Manager of ChaPl)les Stores Limited, James Burdon Paper 'Mill employee and.. nephew of J Jo:yd l:lutdAD. and Xiexander Walker, store 5111!· erintendent, The union claims ihey contain several inaccur• acies. Injunctions normally merely limit picketing; this one halted it entirely. Union sources claim this is unprecedented in Ontario and are confident it will be changed as soon as they challenge it in court Monday afternoon. Local 409 of the International Association of Retail Clerks has been on strike against Chapples and Metropolitan Stores for six weeks over wages and seniority. Metropolitan Stores continued to operate, but Chapples closed down and re-opened last Thursday amidst massive picketing. Students have joined picket lines at Metropolitan Stores over 50 at a time have picketted Chapples. Several key incidents have occured involving members of the University community. On Wednesday Nov. 18, Mrs. Irene Hogan chief executive -photo by Todd Student's affidavit Edward Charles Walker, student at Lakehead Universit.v, and son of Alexander Walker, store superintendent at Chapples, swore out the following affidavit November 14, 1968. Ted Walker I, EDWARD CHARLES WALKER, of the City of Fort William, in the District of Thunder Bay, Student, make oath and say: 1. That I am a student at Lakehead University in the City of Port Arthur, in the District of Thunder Bay, and have a personal knowledge of the facts and matters hereinafter sworn to. 2. That on Wednesday, the 18th da)' of November, 1968, a woman identifying herself as Irene Hogan, the Sec· retary-Treasurer of Local 409 International Assoc. of Retail Clerks, appeared on campus at Lakehead University at a meeting of students at which I was present and invited and encouraged the students of Lakehead University to join in the picketing of the premises of Chapples Stores Limited at the City of Fort William, in the District of Thunder Bay. 8. That to the best of my knowledge, information and belief, the information passed on by the said Irene Hogan to the students of Lakehead University was erroneous and a deliberate attempt on her part to incite and inflame members of the student body of Lakehead University and to obtain their support for picketing of the p:emises owned and operated by Chapples Stores Limited at the City of Fort William, in the District of Thunder Bay. 4. That I make this affidavit in support of an application for an Order of this Honourable Court limiting the number of pickets in front of the premises or prohibiting picketing entirely. officer for local 409, was asked to a meeting at Lakehead University where she answered questions from students. She made no formal speech. ' It is to information at this meeting that Edward Walker referred in his affidavit when he claimed "that to the best of my knowledge, information and belief, the information passed on by the said Irene Hogan to the students was erroneous and a deliberate attempt on her part to incite and inflame members of the student body of Lakehead University, and to obtain their support for picketing. . . " For a full report of the meeting see page 5. The next morning Russ Rothney, a Lakehead graduate in honors economics, now taking post-graduate work at the University of Manitoba and here to get material for his thesis, was involved with police and Lloyd Burdon at Chapples. "One of the consistent themes in our picketing has been that children of strikers ne being hurt too," said Mr. Rothney. "We've tried to impress on the housewives that the family is involved in union matters." "I called out to this fellow with the child: •If you like that kid don't go into that store. Respect all people's children'. Now, there are plenty of witnesses to what I said. By 'kid' I meant the symbol of children in general." It is to this incident that Lloyd Burdon refers in his affidavit: ••~ ames Burdon ... attempt• ed to cross the picket line with a two and one half year old child and one of the pickets threatened the said James Burdon by stating to him, •If you like that child, don't go into that store.• As a result of this threat and in my presence, the picket was arrested by a member of the Fort William Police Department and taken into custody." Mr. Rothney was not arrested nor was he taken into custody. .. The union will bring up the discrepancy before the Supreme Court," said Mr: Rothney later. The News-Chronicle, which also did not report the second sentence of Mr. Rothney's statement, reported that ",the picket apologized." "What I said was: 'I'm sorry, Mr. Burdon, that you have misinterpreted my words.' There are witnesses to that too, and that's hardly an apology.'' Thursday night about 150 workers and over 50 students sang labor songs and chanted slogans such as "Chapples Murdered Santa Claus", __, .. Peanuts, popcorn, scabs--get them cheap at Chapples". See page 3 for photo feature. "I was there on Thursday evening when a young girl picketer was dealt a savage blow in the face from a female line-crosser," said Evelyn Ste. Croix, 8rd year Arts. .. After she had hit her, the woman said, 'She accused me of bringing up my child wrong' and when we asked the police foraction they not only refused to do anything, but they blocked us from entering the store to get her name. "The girl was shaken but she didn't cry." At closing time those working inside had to cross the picket line through a cordon of police. .. They came out in batches of twenty," said Miss Ste. Croix, "and there was no attempt at violence. But they were obviously impressed by the fact that so many people felt so strongly about strike breakers. We shouted •scab, scab, scab!• It took them about an hour to get them all through.'' Friday brought light picket· ing in the morning. The injunction halting pickets was served in the evening. Saturday there were no pickets. Members of local 409 were legally forbidden from ..picketing, watching, besetting and trespassing on or interfering with access to the premises" of Chapples. Action inside But students were under less restraint. A group of about seven members of the University community, who would otherwise have been-o picketing, decided to enter Chapples and draw attention to the strike inside. "We energetically tried on clothing, disarranged merchandise, and paraded around the store to draw attention to the fact that a strike was in process," said one of them. The students were told to leave several times by security agents. They were threatened with police action, had handcuffs waved at them, and two of the group were . ejected bodily. Later in the afternoon some union workers followed theit"'example. At 3:25 p.m. the store's intercom system came to life. .. Will all those people not presently making purchases please move to the nearest exit and kindly leave the store. All those making purchases please complete them and leave the store. Do not rush. There is no immediate danger. The store is closing." It was rumoured the store closed because of a bomb threat. �november 21. 1988. page 2 !;._;=========----------- Temporary justices suggest &r{Jls, This week ■ ■ ■ THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 21 Language Department Meeting - Room 1029 - 11:30 a.m. Viet Nam Action Committee Meeting - Aud. - 12:30 p.m. Chemistry Club Meeting - Room 021 - 2:80 p.m. Arts Society Meeting• Board Room - 7:00 p.m. Economics Club Meeting - Great Hall • 7:00 p.m. Science Festival - Rich Little Concert - Field House 8:15 j>.m.

The hearing found "no incompetence on the part of the Judicial Committee," but reconmended the resignations as it was felt there was some lack of confidence in the committee. The hearing also recommended that Defense Attorney Ron Hiller be chosen as the new Chief Justice. Chief Justice Rene Larson cornnented, ..I'm greatly releived that we have been cleared of the charge of incompetence." He added, "I can see reasons for resigning because of the lack of confidence in the Judicial Committee which might have been created by the whole affair.

Charges were also brought by Steve Zagozewski, who appealed landslide election losses twice, and lost both appeals. At press time the Justices have not resigned. E~~- . . . .~!~~ Ukrainian Club goes to SUSK The Ukranian Canadian Student' s Union (SUSK) Conference was held October 12 and 13, 1968 in St. An· drews College and St. Paul College, University of Manitoba, Winnipeg. The general purpose of the "Teach-in" was to educate the Canadian Ukrainian Students regarding the status of the "third element in the 'New Confederation'." The Lakehead University Ukram1an Club (LUUC) sent 20 delegates. The Honorable Paul Yuzyk, Senator, said that our country was in reality a multicultural nation. He felt that the rights of minorities should be protected by constitution and any and all changes should affect all Canadians~not just the French-English double "melting-pot" aspect of our society. Mr. Robert Standbury, Parliamentary Secretary, and a non-Ukrainian Canadian, was the next speaker. He said that Ukrainian Canadians are constantly working for a better Canada as are all ethnic groups. This can only be achieved by communication between the eth• nic aspects of the third element and the English- French part of the Canadian society. The third speaker, Professor N. Vallerand of College Ste. Marie in Montreal proposed, rather than assimilation; a working together, not as one, but as two towards the further benefit of Canada. The final ideal is total communication. Professor Dale Gabson of the University of Manitoba said private schools could not be built everywhere that an ethnic group congregated-money is just not available to comply with everyone's demands. He also opposed the .. melting-pot" philosophy of the United States. It was his feeling that a culturally homogeneous nation was one which caused its citizens to have a lack of tolerance with other countries. Finally, Professor B. R. Bociurkiw o( the University of Alberta spoke. In the typical "opinion-poll .. character he categorized apathy and loss of language in the Ukrainian - Canadian communities of Alberta. The National Executive of the Ukrainian Canadian University Students' Union resolved that: the Ukrainian Canadian Committee in co-operation with SUSK Secretariat undertake the youth fieldwork project submitted to the Congress as the "Lakehead Project." The original "Lakehead Project" envisaged graduates being hired for a year to work among Ukrainian youth groups in various university cities to stimulate, with their own knowledge and interest, the involvement of others.

About two hundred workers and L.U. students, shouting "Chapples killed Santa Claus" and chanting songs of solidarity and "We shall stop scab labour" picketed in a strike demonstration against the re-opening of the Chapples Stores Ltd., Fort William last Thursday. Police threatened to arrest one student who allegedly shouted threats to a 'linebreaker' but took no action when a woman picketer was slapped by another line breaking customer. The picketer had shouted "that's no way to bring up your kid" as the customer crossed the 'line' with a child. Ten minutes later the police entered the store in search of the attacker. At closing time the picketers crowded the exits, shouting "Scab .. scab!" as the specially hired strikebreakers with police escort left the building. Mr. L. G. Hurdon, President and General Manager of Chapples commented, "We don't intend to give them the keys. They are not going to run the business. I have the keys and I will keep them." Mr. Hurdon does not feel the demonstration affected the re-opening sale; he said, "ltis undoubtedly a good sale crowd." He felt the students did not have an oppor- tunity to investigate and form an opinion of the situation. The demonstration, called by Local 409, Union of Retail Workers, was also strongly supported by most of the other workers' unions in the area. The strike was endorsed by the Fort William - Port Arthur and District Labour Council. The issues in dispute are seniority and wages. According to the Labour Council, "Chapples keep contingency staff working, while regular employees are on short hours. Their last wage offer to 409 was a 5% increase plus 8¢ per hour, when the Ontario Minister of Labour had announced a 80% increase in minimum wages.•• The Council believes this inadequate. Following breakdown of negotiations, the Union decided on Sept. 24th to strike. The stores were closed from Oct. 2nd until the management announced re-opening on Nov. 14th with' scab' employment and large cuts in prices. Mr. Hurdon said "Our concern is to keep from going bankrupt. If we had stayed shut any longer we would have missed the season." Asked what was the next step he said, "To keep the store functioning." The strike goes on. 1: #-" .

There is no need to decide whether the Town Hall will be a decision-making body, or simply a pressure group. Similarly, there is no need to set a quorum, or to follow some of the other regulations of elected bodies such as the AMS, whose faulty structure first caused initiation of the Town Hall. Rules will grow when needed. It is issues that are important; structure is next to irrelevant in comparison. Structure shduld serve only to al low discussion and action. When structure impedes representative action, it should be thrown out. In the Town Hall last week, a quorum of 150 was suggested by a group of less than 150 students. If less than 150 students show up at the next meeting and are unable to do anything because they are short of a quorum, interest -· will quickly fade. But even if only 30 students show up, and make decisions, and act on their decisions, then Town Hall will be started. For issues, and not structural discussions, will make Town Hal I a success by drawing participation from the university community. This week a parking petition will be brought to the Town Hall. More important, student involvement in the Chapples strike should be discussed. But these issues might never reach the floor if some .AMS councillors and others tie things up with quorum discussions again. Ideally, in an election, the people elect representatives to deal with problems. The representatives deal with the problems regardless of how many people vote in the election, because al I have the freedom to vote. In the Town Hall, the people deal directly with problems, and should be free to deal with them regardless of how many participate, because all have the freedom to participate. Thus a quorum serves no purpose in the Town Hall, and can only be a hindrance. If Town Hall meetings are announced in advance, and if the issues to be discussed are publicized, then students have the choice of part1cipation, and the responsibility implied in that choice. It could be a very educational experience.

CENTRE st. 184 Algoma Port Arthur, Ont. Controversy over a quorum and other structural matters highlighted last Friday's Town Hall meeting. Students suggested a quor• um of 150 be set, but at the time of the vote there were less than 150 people present. The number present fluctuated throughout the meeting, as students left or returned from classes. Chairman Simon Hoad said the recommendation would be con·sidered at this week's Town Hall when hopefully 150 people will attend. The quorum question arose from discussion of what power the Town Hall should have: whether it should be a decision-making body requiring a quorum, or whether it should be a pressure group. Several students felt a quorum was not needed, pointing out that any member of the University Community can attend and vote in the Town Hall. They felt this structure excluded the possibility of any minority taking over against the will of the University Community and therefore made unnecessary the restriction of a quorum. They also pointed out that if issues to be :voted on were publicized in advance, all would have the opportunity to participate. However, a large number of the people felt a quorum was necessary to protect those students who do not wish to attend Town Hall meetings. They felt that if a few students could make policy in the Town Hall, then many students would be forced to attend -the meetings 10 avoid a minority ruling. With the quorum, however, students would not be forced to participate because that anyone be allowed to if only a small minority of the attend.

The request was refused. "Dr. Tamblyn said he wishes to keep parking discus• sions within the University Committee," said Mr. Baker.

One student suggested the administration be taken to court for a violation of the Lakehead University Act, which says the administration must make the most efficient possible use of the available facilities. Discussion moved to the parking attendants and maintenance costs of the lots. It was suggested that Claude Smith, Director of Physical Plant, be asked to attend the next Town Hall. At that point the meeting was cut short by a Natural Science class claiming the auditorium. Simon Fraser students seize admin building Council fills executive vacancies :....,.a......_____. Dennis Wallace One AMS Executive member, who recently resigned, returned to his office last Wednesday during elections by the Council, to fill the vacancies of Director ·o f Finance and Vice-President of Academics. Dennis Wallace, who resigned his position earlier this month because of the ineffectiveness of AMS Council, stood unopposed for reelection as Director of Finance. Mr. Wallace felt the begining of Town Hall discussions and the problems of anyone taking over the position of Director of Finance in the middle of the year opened the way for him to run again. Mr. Wallace won the yes or no vote, handily. Robert Gibson, a Uni• versity Schools Councillor won the election for VicePresident of Academics, defeating two other candidates, Fred Kelly and John Pallett. A discussion developed before this election over Mr. Gibson's not resigning his seat before the election. The Council decided that because the election was within Council itself, he should not have to resign his seat. Bob Gibson automatic acceptance of credits within the provincial educational system. • An elected admissions board made up in ·equal part by students and faculty. • The opening of all registrar's files. • More money for education and equitable financing for all post-secondary institutions. When the senate rejected the student demands, the 300 students walked out, held an emergency meeting and decided to seize the administration building. The occupiers have sealed off all entrances with filing cabinets and chains. They open the front doors for five minutes every hour for through traffic. The senate, in rejecting the demands, offered to set up a committee to review the admissions situation. The students did not even bother to discuss the possibilities of a compromise. The occupiers say they will not leave the building until their demands are met. - �ars,.,s. november 28, 1968, page 2 This week.

Political awareness was the third reason for the revolt. Mr. Hersant said the Vietnam war gave students the political motivation necessary. During debates of Vietnam, the students "took the habit of thinking, reasoning and acting outside the political parties, outside of the official structures. In other words, they became aware of their power ... The University had to burst." Like University admini· strators in Canada, Mr. Hersant split the revolting students and professors into two camps: the reformists and the revolutionaries. "Some preferred to meditate in study commissions - they were the reformists. Others preferred to act in action committees - they were the revolutionaries:' The reformists had four parts to their programs. The first is the decentrallization of the universities, or more autonomy for the individual universities. "There would still be a Minister of Education, there would still be a control on exams. It means universities will become part of their region instead of being the slaves of Paris." The second is self-admini- speaks on glaciers NOW TILL SATURDAY NAtlCNAI. ClNl1IAl PICT\Jtl[S l'RHDffS. JAMES DEBBIE MAURICE GARNER REYNOLDS RONET •=t•htl·iiiiiff• llCNIIICGl8I' Warning that the causes of a revolution cannot be exported, a speciat lecturer outlined the causes, aims and results of the student revolt in France, last May and June. Mr. Yves Hersant, Cultural Attache at the French Embassy in Ottawa, spoke to a small audience of 40 last Tuesday at the first of a series of three lectures on the Nature of the University. Mr. Hersant blamed the large increase in the student population since the Second World War as the first cause of the revolt. "There were in France, in 1955, 15,000 students. There are this year 600,000." Mr. Hersant feels that a large number of students is a good thing. However he added, "you must be able to educate them, you must have the room, you must have the professors, you must have the will." He said the "organization of the French university dates to Napoleon I." Changes have been made but not enough. Mr. Hersant outlined the second cause of the student revolt as "that the French university is or was a state university.

Dr. Grosswald, who received a Ph.D. in glaciation from the University of Moscow, described the many dozens of research institutes in the northern regions of the Soviet Union. Each institute consists of 400-500 scientific and technical workers. In the last 10-15 years, Russia has taken part in many international studies to ob- Bo red with the same old Christmas-card hang-up? serve the effects that glaciers have played and are playing. In the Pleistocene epoch, glaciers in both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres covered large parts of existing continents , and shallow areas on the outskirts of the land masses. The Hudson Bay area, which was once the center of the ice sheets in North America, is now uplifting at the rate of two metres per century and it is calculated that should the Arctic and Greenland ice sheets melt completely, the oceans would rise approximately 80 metres, enough to flood many coastal cities. Mr. Grosswald will be going to the Universities of Minnesota and Saskatchewan, for additional talks. stration. Mr. Hersant stated that this means '' from an administrative point of view, a university must be directed by students and professors together on an equal basis." Democratization is the third point of the reformist plan. Mr. Hersant said "The students asked for programs for exams for a recruitment that would take allowance to the lower class." The last principle that Mr. Hersant related in the reformist program is that "the University must be a centre of permanent reflection where students and professor can and must challenge knowledge and society as much as the university itself." The last principle that Mr. Hersantrelated in the reformist program is that "the University must be a centre of permanent reflection where students and professor can and must challenge knowledge and society as much as the university itself." The other polarization of ideas of the students and professors is the revolutionaries. Mr. Hersant feels there are two sides to the aims of this group, the political side which failed in June and the cultural side. He said the cultural side of the French revolt "welcomed all suggestions, all opinions, even the anarchist ones. The result was an extraoridinary liberation of speech .... While the workers were on strike, the intellectuals were in ferment." The slogans of the revolution were "Imagination has taken power" or "It is forbidden to forbid." Mr. Hersant then reached some conclusions. One is that "students are clearly aware that they belong to the middle class: they are not proletarians. The revolt of the middle cl ass against itself." Mr. Hersant said one of the results of the revolt has been "an effort to analyse the relations that might exist between the university and society." Also the new Minister of Education· ' 1has decided to comply with many if not most of the student wishes. We will soon know if it was a good idea or not."

She felt they had made a foolish and ugly display of themselves in public. Why should students worry about workers' struggles; about American imperialistic actions in Viet Nam; about Biafra and other centres of human struggle in the world today? Why don't they mind their own business and concern themselves with being students? I said nothing, because I recognized her slumber. Like so many others on this vast bed or earth, she's asleep. They all must die. Their narrow and isolated way of thinking must be snuffed out right where they sleep. Only then, through this process of re-evaluation could they awaken to new and objective thoughts - to the level of consciousness where they could truthfully see the world the way it exists today and recognize its tragic stage of puppets and puppeteers. The sleeper sees the students within the framework of boring classes and cramming of outdated facts culminating in the sweat of an examination. But this is too limited for learning processes which are perpetual. The student is forever subjected to diversified learning forces of society. At the same time he is part of the being of these forces - so that the student is the teacher and the teacher is the student. Then those who have already awakened do not go out of their way to "get involved," they simply "are involved." Throughout the world, students are fighting for some measure of control of what should constitute the formal aspect of their learning. Workers are fighting for better working conditions and functionable wages. The fight is on for liberation, equality, acceptance and "dignity". We cannot isolate each of these struggles. We cannot draw solid lines of distinction. They are all part of one and the same co ncern--an age-long of concern is to fail to acknowlecJge our lives as being both "personal and communal." We must identify ourselves with this purpose or choose the materialistic slumber of escapism. The title of this article is borrowed from a pamphlet distributed in Trinidad, West Indies, by a group of folk-lore researchers of which I am a member. It is relevant here to put down the basic philosophy of this group. The group stipulates this 'awakening' as a participation of experiences "in the hope that a scale of consciousness emerges which enables us to see ourselves as well as we really are - in our personal as well as our communal lives - so that w'e can begin to order our lives in relation to our own experiences and our own environment. -to make us see developments we had not intellectually ordered or arranged. -to open ourselves as it were to a vision of consciousness where all things and all peoples assume a mity of correspondence at a dimension of experience, of suffering made possible by a striving for excellence in all fields of labour... only when they die'' and universal struggle of man's exploitation of man, which manifests itself in student power, Vietnam, Biafra, labour disputes, negroes in America, neo-colonial countries, the Third World and others. To divorce ourselves from this oneness The members of this group are awake. The marchers at Chapples are awake. I am awake. Are you? Students and closed meetings MONTREAL( CUP)--A closed meeting of the McGill University Arts and Science faculty council adjourned abruptly Tuesday (Nov 19) when 50 students broke into the session and refused to leave. The students entered the eighth-floor council room while the meeting was in progress, stood between rows of faculty members, and listened to the proceedings. Dean D. D. Woods asked student president Robert Hajaly, a member of the group, to instruct the students to withdraw. Hajaly said he had no authority to instruct his fellow students to leave or stay and that their presence was justified in any case. Student vice-president Peter Foster asked ihcJt a vote on openness be taken immediately. Woods demurred and again asked the students to withdraw. Laurier Lapierre, a history professor, supported the students and called for more "flexibility". He said the council was "slowly leading ·tself into immobility". A faculty member, Leo Yaffe (an arch foe of any student representation anywhere) then moved to adjourn "with regret". The motion carried 64-49. LONDON, Ont.(CUP)--The University of Western Ontario senate took off its shoes to dip its toes in the cold water of democratized university government.

Even this is plagiarism. Call our office any day. communication Last week the administration showed its disregard for student requests again. This time the request was only for discussion. President Tamblyn was asked to come to Town Hal I to discuss parking problems with the students or to send someone else if he could not attend. He refused both requests, saying that this discussion should be kept within the University Committee. The University Committee is supposed to aid in studentadministration communication. It has failed at this, succeeding only in burying student problems. The purpose of Town Hall is open communication within the university community. But it too wi II fail if administrators refuse to participate, refuse to get involved, refuse to discuss their policy-policy which directly affects students, pol icy over which students have no control. There were 954 signatures on a petition challenging that policy. Apparently 954 is not enough. Would 1500 be enough? Would the signature of every single person at Lakehead University be enough? Or would the administration still shy away from open discussion? Dr. Tamblyn speaks of a "community of scholars" and tells students they must "get involved". But when students begin to ask questions, the administration tries to stop it by ignoring them. "The traditional privileges of a university are freedom of inquiry and freedom of expression". -- from Lakehead' s 1968-1969 calendar.

Three book reviews domplete this issue. In the range of subject matter, this, the second issue of the Review, surely has an advantage over the first Review, published Spring, 1968. It must be coincidental that the contributions, in either section of the Review, which proved to be most interesting and lucidly written originated from Lakehead's Philosophy Department. Dr. Doan's essay entitled "On Whitehead's Choice of Civilization as a Symbolic Language System" illuminates as• pects of Whitehead's philosophy which indicate the philosopher's concern about communi• cation, and systems of communication. According to Whitehead, "our problem is ... to fit the world to our perceptions, and not our perceptions to the world". Since the symbols of civilization are the popular meanings of common speech, and forms which express emotions, it is possible to define "objectified fonns of social behavior as sub-species of civilized language". Dr. Doan skillfully leads the reader through the very heart of Whitehead's thinking to reconcile the abstract idea of civilization with the concrete concept of language. A most challenging essay, hampered only by an effusion of quotation marks, which more often than not interupt the reader's train of thought. The book review of Bertrand Russell's Autobiography, Volume I, by Mr. Ripley, again of the Philosophy Department, proves to be the most interesting book review of the three published in this issue. Although perhaps academicians will argue that the other book reviews, by Dr. Arthur and Dr. Dodd, are every bit as well conceived and written as Mr. Ripley's, they do not possess the same en• thusiasm, nor do they present the same feeling of enjoyment concerning the respective books reviewed. Perhaps it is because Mr. Ripley is alone among the three reviewers in concluding his review on a non-critical note: perhaps it is due simply to the abilities of Russell himself both as an author and as an amazing individual. Glimpses into the book, offered by Mr. Ripley, indicate that Russell has done well in presenting the charismatic struggles within his own younger mind, punctuating deep sections of his book with descriptions of his antics as a student and a shrewd character analyst. Three essays of local interest, and applicability to the local situation, are included in this issue of the Review. Dr. Mothersill, wr,iting on "Grain Size Analysis of LongshoreBars and Troughs, Batchawana Bay, Lake Superior, Ontario", concludes his study with scientific data regarding sedimentation which can be applied to further geological interpretations. "Workers, Wages and the Cost of Living", by Mr. Crowe, describes the problems of establishing an acceptable, workable agreement between unions and employers, and explains the present disinterest in such agreements. He traces the development of a Sliding Scale based on retail prices from its conception in 1780, through several wars and depressions, to the present. The delicacy of the balance between wages, cost of living, and labour dissatisfaction is a point, though not stated directly, which is very much in presence throughout the essay. The article which perhaps would appeal to most Lakehead residents in Mr. Davies' state• of Northwestern Ontario's case. Written on "Agriculture in the Northern Forest", Mr. Davies' essay results from extensive surveys conducted in the local agricultural area. From the historical point of view, Northwestern Ontario has always been a problem for agriculturalists. Loans and grants were offered to persuade people to take over the land, but always the land seemed to win its freedom. "The patterns of land use recorded reflect the continuous struggle of the northern farmer with a harsh physical environment and the difficulty of finding and supplying markets," writes Mr. Davies. "Problems inherited from earlier times pervade the scene." The delicate transitional state in which Mr. Davies finds Northwestern Ontario agriculture, and his re• commendations, add to our understanding of this area. And the Review is not without a political essay. Dr. Raffo examines "The East Fulham By-Election" as the point when Britain either chose re-armament after World War I, or pacifism. Faithfully documented from The Times, Dr. Raffo has raised the question of whether this bi-election was actually of such great historical importance. In the often ambiguous words ·of politicians, was the issue of pacifism actually put before the electorate? An essay of considerable penetrations and research, the Canadian-born reader should be informed before hand that East Fulham is in England, although he would probably suspect so all along. The Lakehead Review in its second issue presents something to everyone's taste. It is a cleanly printed book, with a professional format, and not an unusual number of typographical mistakes. It does, unfortunately, have several major technical errors in the following of a standard in its format, particularly in essays where considerable amounts of statistical data are presented. This, however, does not readily hamper the reading of the Review. ( The Lakehead Review is on sale at the Bookstore; cost is $1.25.)

As well, CarroU nailed sixteen rebounds while Phil Fury hauled in twelve. For the Pointers, Bush led the first half with twelve, while Cole came on strong in the second half for twenty-one points. Assistant coach of the Pointers, Donald Baker, was surprised and thankful for Friday's game but felt the Nor'Westers were a better team than they appeared and that Saturday's game would be stiffer. Saturday proved Mr. Baker to be right. Dan Carroll opened the scoring before the first minute was up. It was a different team as the half-time score showed with L. U. leading 46-30. Carroll scored fifteen points in the first half followed by Fury with eleven. Cole, for the Pointers, hooped twelve. Don Holmstrom, who fought diligently on the defense during the first half, was forced to leave the game in the second half when he picked up his fifth foul. The last three minutes of the game were electrifying as the Pointers fought their way back and came within two points of tying the game. The Nor'Westers fought hard to hang on to their lead. When the final buzzer sounded the Nor'Westers were ahead 76-74. Wayne Humpherys played a good consistant game and his ten points led the second half scoring. Willie Jerks followed close with eight.

L.U. hockey team loses two In two closely fought con• tests last weekend, the Nor' Westers were defeated by I.C.H.A. champions Lake Superior State Lakers. Saturday saw the Nor' Westers open fast with a goal by Dave Siciliano at 1:17, assist· ed by Munay Smith and Dwight Stirrett. The Lakers answered with four before the end of the first period. Scoring for the Lakers were Thompson, Comley and MacArthur with two. The second period was all Nor'Westers as once more they opened fast, with Moores scoring from Stirrett and Smith at the twenty-four second mark. Midway through the period Moores slipped a pass to Jimmy Gellert from behind the Lakers net and Gellert made no mistake as he rifled it home to narrow the gap to 4-3. Before the period was over the Nor'Westers tied it up with Nuttall scoring on a pass from Smith. The tempo of the game changed into a close-checking affair in the third period with neither side getting many good shots on goal. Orazietti broke the tie at the 12: 14 mark to put the Lakers ahead to stay. Comley, with his second go al of the evening late in the period, made the score 6·4 in favour of the Lakers, and that was how it ended. Lakehead' s goalie, Gordie Bishop stopped twenty-nine shots for the Nor'Westers and Thompson thirty• four for the Lakers. Don Ostaff threw the stiffest check of the game, sending Fuller of the Lakers clear over the boards into the aisle. The crowd was the biggest in two years in the Arena. Sunday, in a much rougher contest, the Nor'Westers were out-muscled as they took it on the chin for the second time. The Nor'Westers had the majority of the play and also outshot the Lakers twenty-nine to twenty-three, but were defeated 3-2. The opening period was scoreless as both teams missed several good chances, and it was not until midway through the second period that the deadlock was broken. Randy MacArthur, last year's scoring champion, put a soft shot in the Lakehead net. Booth made the score 2-0. At 1:04 of the third period, Kacarevich put the Lakers ahead 3·0. The Nor'Westers were not to be denied. They finally caught fire when Siciliano fed a lead pass to Gellert, who made a picture pass to Stirrett, who slipped the puck into the open righthand side of the net. The score was narrowed to 3- 2 at the 11:41 mark at Stirrett got his second goal again on picture passing play, this time from Morgan and Tapak. The Nor' Wes ters tried in vain to tie the score, and at one time had a two man advantage, but they were unable to dent the armour of Laker goalie Thompson. The final score remained 3·2 in favour of the Lakers. The Nor'Westers now have their work cut out for them if they hope to capture the crown from the Lakers, who have a four point lead.

FORT WILLIAM The Fashion Store for The Style Conscious StudBllt For The Unique Gift This Christmas Visit The Treasure House 7 south cumberland street. port arthur �agus. november 28. 1968, page 8 Of napalm, and young children, and devastation by Bob Leggett Mickey Murray is a matronly type of woman, the kind each of us has had for a Sunday School teacher at some early stage of our life. Last Tuesday when she spoke for the Vietnam Action Committee she wore a conservative green suit with a wide brimmed hat. It was adorned with a pheasant's feather, which added the exact finishing touch to the stereotype idea one forms about matronly old ladies. Her speaking style, however, was inconsistent with her physical appearance, as was her topic. Mrs. Murray spoke of her recent trip to North Vietnam where she was a delegate representing the Twin Cities Committee for Peace and the Canadian Council of Women. She told the small audience of the pitiful conditions in North Vietnam. She spoke of young children going to schools where they sit with their feet in trenches which serve as escape passages to the shel tees when the bombers come. When she described the devastation of small rural Vietnamese villages her lips became tense. She seemed to shock her listeners with her narration of the destruction caused by American napalm. Fear of delayed action bombs and the dreaded pellet bomb was prevalent. She said everywhere she went in the country she was escorted for her protection. Mrs. Murray described the torture methods used by the South Vietnamese and their American allies on the people of the north when they were captured. One young peasant woman, whose picture she circulated, told her how she had been imprisoned for months and tortured by soldiers of the south for imformation, while the Americans looked on in silent approval. The Vietnamese people, according to Mrs. Murray, are still very confident. In her words, "they are people born into war." She said their courage stems from dissent in the U.S. and the fact that most of the south is in sympathy with the National Liberation Front. Those at the gathering were mostly sympathetic to Mrs. Murray's cause, and in this way her speech was a failure, as it gathered few new disciples. At the end of the meeting one student casually mentioned "it sure wasn't like Sunday school" ..... and it probably never will be again. Have you heard the one about the French Anibassador's wife?

Lakehead student elected to OSL exec The AMS chose three new justices for the Judicial Committee after hours of controversy last Wednesday. Mike Barkwell is the new Chief Justice. Hart Armstrong and Kevin J esseau are his Associate Justices. Controversy arose when fonner Defense Attorney Ron Hiller's nomination for Chief Justice was announced. Mr. Hiller had been asked to resign along with the three Justices, Prosecutor and Clerk of the former Judicial Committee. Two weeks ago, during debate on the resignations a motion to allow the resigning members to run again was defeated. Former Prosecutor Art Looye, as chainnan of the meeting last Wednesday, ruled this motion unconstitutional, and stated he was also applying for his old position of Prosecutor. However, he withdrew the ruling when challenged. A discrepancy in the published version of the report of the Temporary Judicial Committee, which asked for the resignations, came to the attention of council. The report published in the minutes implied that the Defense Attorney is not part of the Judicial Committee while the actual report which Council adopted included the Defense A ttomey as part of the Judicial Committee. Mr. Hiller felt he was justified in applying for Chief Justice. because he did not consider himself a part of the resigning Judicial Committee. He was supported by VicePresident of Academics Robt. Gibson. One councillor suggested that Council re-open the nominations and allow other members of the former Judicial Committee to run again. However, Mr. Gibson, acting President during Peter McCormack' s illness, disagreed. He stated, "I do not feel that it would be a good practice to open nominations again." Councils, however, decided to rescind their defeated motion on eligibility, and took a recess to infonn the ex-jus- • tices of their right to run. Only Bryan Springgay, former associate Justice, chose to do so. Debate continued to heat up, and Chainnan Art Looye tried to throw. out former Chief Justice Rene Larson, but withdrew this action when challenged. When the results were finally in, and the new justices chosen, things quieted down. Ex-councillor Simon Hoad described the Council's actions, "The mind boggles". Another observer, Michael ~ Lockey observed, "Incompetence would be much too kind a word." Student labour committee set up A co-ordinating c001mittee between the Fort William Port Arthur District Labour Council and the LU student body is to be set up in January. Representing the students will be Simon Hoad, Patrick O'Neill, Ron Pappin-Stuber and Ted Christiansen. This proposal ·was made at last Thursday's meeting of the council The committee is aimed at providing for increased student-labour communication, co-ordinating of action, and greater awareness of the labour movement. Ron Pappin-Stuber, who sat as an observer at the meetin~. said, "the only way the students can be relevant to today's society is to coordinate their actions with the labour community... Mr. Pappin-Stuber felt the recent show of student support for Retail Clerks Local 409 in its strike against Chapples and Metropolitan stores was a major factor in the initiation of the student-labour committee . He described the reaction of the labour people to the student support of Local 409 as "extremely positive".

Bail of $250 each was put up by the Toronto Newspaper Guild. On the picket line were about 120 students from the universities of Ryerson, York Waterloo and Toronto. They promised to return next week with new forces. The second Saturday of strike one picketer, the Night Editor, was injured and a Trent student arrested for causing a disturbance and assaulting a policeman in scufiles following the Senior Editorial Writer's attempt to enter the Examiner's Building. Twenty-one policemen helpedhim through. Counter charges have been laid against the police. A 180-pound Newfoundland dog, a Shetland pony and the candidates for the recent Ontario NDP leadership at times accompanied the pickateers on the line. The editorial employees walked out on Nov 2, following breakdown of negotiations for a first contract. The Examiner was bought last March by Lord Thomson, who owns more than forty Canadian dailies. The employees immediately formed a unit of the Newspaper Guild, but the company refused to negotiate. At the last bargaining session after the legal strike deadline, the company offered minimum wages below those· presently paid to the employees. For example, the company offered $70 a week to first year reporters, who received $85 a week before the strike. The company refused to discuss other issues in dispute, such as the right for employees to refuse to be unilaterally transferred to any other Thomson paper and the right to insist that the majority of editorial staff be required to join the Guild. Consequently the Guild struck and set up headquarters across the street from the Examiner. Picketing has been very ineffective. The Printers and the Pressmen, all unionized, have a clause in their contract to the effect that they must cross the picket line unless the number of pickets is great enough to prevent their crossing. Even aided by students, the Guild has been unable to provide sufficient numbers, and the Examiner has continued to publish daily since the strike began, but in a reduced fonn and withlittle local copy. The Guild has been cam• paigning among local busi• nesses which advertise in the Examiner asking them to cancel the advertisement. This has met with some success. Door to door canvassing asking subscribers to cancel their subscriptions during the strike has led to a reduction in press run by more than 2500. Despite a lowering in the Guild's wage demand, the company still refuses to negotiate. Already in its fourth week, the dispute seems unlikely to be settled before the end of the year. The waiting goes on. Complete and mail the application to Canadian Premier Life.

The AMS has put some very good policies down on paper, but whenever someone tries to get around those policies, the Counci I backs down. For example, two weeks ago the Counci I voted nearly unanimously against a recommendation that Ron Hiller be the new Chief Justice. They then went on to defeat a motion to allow members of the resigning Judicial Committee to run again. Yet last week, when Mr. Hi lier appeared, complete with application for Chief Justice, the Counci I could not refuse him. Mr. Hi lier's contention that he was not a part of the former Judicial Committee did not stand up, so Council rescinded their already-defeated motion of the last meeting in order to allow him to run. Fortunately, he lost. At the same meeting, Council seriously considered a motion which would have committed the AMS to acceptance of three Senate seats, provided the Senate opened its meetings to observers. Unbelievably, the three Senate seats themselves were not questioned until an ex-councillor said the AMS should ask for more. Even then, the Council seemed to accept the idea without question that three student seats on the Senate are a good thing, because the administration said so. Why must al I structural reforms come from the top? Is there no one on the AMS Council with the intelligence to make some proposals? Or to question proposals that come from the administration? Are these tomorrow's leaders? Tomorrow's administrators? Yes. Unless tomorrow's people recognize their incompetence and throw them out. • letters to the editor Campus bank ~bleeds' students J--1 Dear Sir: Yesterday I received a statement of my account from the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, Lakehead Uni• versity Branch.

As a chronicler of events of interest and importance to students, however, it is noth· ing more than a sleazy little tabloid, screaming slogans that were outdated twenty years ago. This deficiency as a news medium is best illustrated by the coverage given the opening of Chapple' s in last week's Argus. The headline told all the world that scores of students were out picketing in support of the strikers, and the following story supported that opinion magnificently. (Responsible newspapers are generally better at separating fact from opinion than is the Argus.) However, no mention was made of the scores of students who went to Chapple' s for the express purpose of shopping there. These students far out· numbered those outside on the picket line. Though some of these students were simply seeking bargains, the majority I think, were like myself demonstrating support for the management and working people of Chapple's, and their decision to open despite the same bank, and other banks, I have never been charged for withdrawing money from my account. The easiest way to save myself this $10.00 • $12.00 yearly service charge is to move my account to the Bank of Montreal, Where there are no charges for withdrawing money or writing cheques. (C.I.B.C. charges 10¢ a cheque.) While the C.I.B.C. gets both interest and service charges from my strike. money, the Bank of Montreal Several of these students, only gets the interest. myself included, made a point Jim Warner, of advising store personnel Science I and other customers that we were indeed demonstrating in favour of the management, and that the assorted hairy types parading in front of the building did not represent the unanimous opinion of some argus ::·:,- - mindless mass known as Students. We emphasized that while we recognized the rights of those who chose not to work, to remain idle (at their own expense), we also recognized the right of the manage- ment of a business to run it in accordance with its goals, to the best of that management's ability, and the right to do so despite pressure from outside parties. We also recognized the rights of those persons who wished to accept employment with Chapple's to do so, and to be free from intimidation. We deplore those students who chose to disgrace this university and the majority of its students by claiming to represent ALL students' opposition to Chapple's position. We deplore those students who used the University's name to justify the spectacle of disarranging merchandise, and parading through the store to draw attention to the strike. It is a source of wonderment to us that the individual who would boast of having "shouted 'scab, scab scab"' at people who chose to work for their living, ever made it to a university. I speak here only for myself and those students with whom I shopped in Chapple's, but I think my viewpoint is far more representative of the majority of the students' feelings on the Chapple' s issue than that viewpoint held by the "solidarity" faction, and echoed by the Argus. Yours very truly, J. Golightly Commerce I Editor's Note: You say our headline ..told all the world that scores of students were out picketing in support of the strikers, and the following story supported that opinion magnificently.•• This was not opinion--this was fact. There were about 50 students out when Chapp/e's closed Thursday night, Nov. 14. About 100 students participated in the picket lines throughout the day. You also condef1'11ed .. students who chose. to disgrace this University and the majority of its students by claiming to represent all students' opposition to Chapp/es' posi- tion.•• Firstly, at no time did the picketing students claim to represent the entire student body. Nor did the ARGUS make this claim. Secondly, in whose eyes is it a .,disgrace .. for students to support labor? Certainly not in toe eyes of most students at Lakehead University, who come from a I abor background. Certainly not in the eyes of most people in the Lakehead, wfv are laborers. I suggest the inability to separate fact from opinion is ,rore evident in your letter than in the ARGUS. Students excluded from pay raise Dear Sir: On October 3, 1968, the Government of Ontario passed an order in Council granting a pay raise to almost all technical and labour positions. This raise was made retroactive to January I, 1968, which is the date when negotiations for this raise began. If you worked for the government this summer in a technical or labour capacity it may be worthwhile for you to inquire about this. If enough people who were government employees this summer show interest, and are prepared to write letters of complaint to the government and to hot-line, it may be possible to force the government to grant you this retro• active pay increase, which they will not do under existing regulations. W. F. Cocker Arts I Editor's Note: the existing regulation which concerns Mr. Cocker is that in order to be granted the pay increase, a person must have been working at the time the bill was passed, i.e. October 3, 1968. There can be no retJson for this restriction other than to exclude temporary workers, such as students. from the pay increase. If students are concerned, they may contact Mr. Cocker through the ARGUS office. �argus, december 5, 1968. page 5 .. A modest proposal for the library by Simon Hoad It would seem to me that the elevator situation in the library could do with some improvement. This startling thought occurred to me one day as I attempted to go from the fourth floor of the library. A vertical distance of 10 feet separated my physical body from the stack of books I wished to browse. One hundred and five steps later (consisting of 84 steps and a couple of paces in between) I arrived at the bottom of the stairwell in the basement. The speed of my journey down the stairs was better than that of the eleva• tor. The same is true for the journey up to the fourth or fifth floors, especially if waiting time is included. Total time for the elevator use varies from 45 seconds to well over 130 seconds. Enough for that digression. took me to the stairs up to the first floor of the library. A further 20 stairs and 8 paces and I was believe it or not, within the main entr;ince There I was in the basement. A mere 29 more paces Acid's a gas at Lakehead by Linda Montgomerie The last. few days of choking and gagging my breaths through a heavy wool mit as I dash from the safety of a building to my car have convinced me that something must be done to make the local air a bit less offensive. The smell of sulfur dioxide that is almost constant would easily deter prospective citizens from settling here. This gas is often so strong, even on campus, that it is literally nauseating. Although sulfuric acid cannot be formed directly from this gas, I wonder just what does happen when it settles in our moist lungs. And are we engulfed in a blanket of sulfuric acid snow during the winter? I do not deny the paper mills the right to produce enormous quantities of this gas • after all, some of my best friends may be working there some day! But I do object to having it dumped into my air to the extent that Mt. McKay is totally obscured for hours! There is a limit (or should be) beyond which even one of the community's largest employers should not be allowed to go. If the mills can get around the pollution laws because they are outside city tenitory, then I demand that they keep their pollution out of the cities, too. That's not as stu_pid as it may sound. In the latest issue of Scientific American (which you can read in the iibrary), entitled "Smog For Sale." Apparently the Monsanto Company and the Met• ropolitan Edison Company have combined their research programs to produce an in- expensive and functional means of controlling sulfuric dioxide air pollution. In fact, they now have a plant oper• ating at Portland, P'ennsylvania, where they have proven this method to be entirely feasible. For a year now, this generating station has been selling sulfuric acid produced from the product& of the combustion of soft coal. They take the flue gases directly from the boiler and pass them through an electro• static precipitator, which removes 99% of the solids, and then through a convertor where the sulfur dioxide is catalytically oxidized to sulfur dioxide and combined with water to form sulfuric acid, which is then solid. The Monsanto company believes that the proceeds from the sale of sulfuric acid would balance the cost of the installation and maintenance of the machinery. This means that the operation would be a non-profit one, but it also means that there would be no loss to the company: It is really a matter of good citizenship. A company which is as concerned over the people of its community as it is over its profits, will install one of these purifica• tion systems to end air pollution resulting from its operations. I am sure our local mills have good reasons for not converting their waste products to salable sulfuric acid, but I would be very interested in knowing what they are! What a difference there would be in this city in the eyes of visitors, or rather in their lungs and noses, if over 90% of the sulfur dioxide were gone. I would like to suggest that if the paper mills have any Christmas spirit towards this community, they should manifest it in the form of clean air in the new year! ~an,••• .n,,,,.,.P ......-.-· 414 Victoria Ave .. Fort William 823-7686 to the library. A short sprint of 46 steps pat the "abstract" and I was in the stairwell leading to the second and third floors. After 44 more stairs and 12 more paces, I arrived at the third floor, blood pounding through my forehead. Was it the excitement of a long trek completed, or merely my out of condition body rebelling? Who can say? A tew more paces and I was directly beneath the spot on the fourth floor from which I had started. Here in the narrative there is a small break. Our hero is lying huddled against a book rack, a small broken mass of humanity. He has forgotten his pen on the fourth floor. A mere 148 stairs and 119 strides separated him from his pen. And all he has to do then is return. (For variety the stairs could be taken two at a time). The present blocking of entrances to library floors and the programming of the elevator to only stop at certain floors is designed to prevent book theft, I think. Only the offices on the fourth and fifth floors are serviced by the elevator operating from the basement. To get to the stacks everyone must climb. (Well, almost everyone: a small service elevator exists to c.µ-t book~ Stereos Television Tape Recorders and library personn.el to sundry floors.) A slight modification would eliminate part of the inconvenience and energy expenditure of the present set-up. A small temporary extension to the barrier placed in the main floor of the library would continue to separate those people who are using the elevator to the offices · and those who are bonowing books. The elevator could then operate between the basement, main, fourth and fifth floors. This extension (about 12 feet) would adequately separate the two types of users, cutting off the 41 stairs and 44 steps between the main stairwell and the main floor entrance. The change would also benefit those who merely ride the elevator to the offices. Wouldn't it be a nice Christmas surprise to find such a modification to the ~ present system. • New Shipment Just Unpacked!

The conference, held from Nov 13th to Nov 16th at the University of Windsor, was attended by over 110 delegates from universities and other assoc1at1ons. Resolved from the conference were that: (1) CSOST should collect from the various universities, international centres and national groups, information on their constitution, ideas, experience and programs during the year for distribution to the delegates before the conference; and that the National office continue to act as a clearing house for this information throughout the year. (2) Regional conferences should be encouraged by CSOST to provide a better dialogue between different organizations on a much broader scale than is possible at the three day conference.

Only Students and department heads of seven Lakehead high school mathematics departments visited Lakehead University during November at the invitation of the Mathematics Club. Approximately 110 students from grades ten and eleven attended the student-run seminar. They saw the operation of the math department calculators, and were introduced to the use of the Chinese abacus. They also received instruction on writing computer programs as each student key punched their own programs. The students then watched their programs run on the University computer. Discussions were held on vectors, introduction to calculus, and on algebra - the changing mathematics. The talks were given by Miss Lesle Wesa, Mr. Romonus Staranczah, Mr. Arthur Horrell and Mr. Howard F erel.

( 3) The overseas reception service was requested to obtain and transmit to the final destination, information about arrivals. ( 4) CSOST should urge Canadian universities to provide the special academic guidance that foreign students may need. Speaking •on "Social Expectations", Mr. G. HaY<kins of the Canadian Institute of International Affairs pointed out that it was very difficult for foreign students to adjust to the social and political environment of Canada and most of them play the role of observers during their stay in Canada. Because of this it is hard for them to establish deep relationships with Canada and Canadians. "On Educational Expectations of Foreign Students" it was noted that many foreign students do not return home because of the job opportunities and financial openings in Canada. Also, working in their homeland means working with limited equipment and staff. In the long run underdeveloped nations are being drained of persons who are essential to develop them. Other matters discussed were International centres, the role of the Foreign Student Advisor in the University, discrimination and off-campus housing. Eighteen persons were elected to the new Board of Directors. Dr. J. Leddy, president of Windsor University was re-elected president, with Rev. D. Powell and Mr. E. Churchill vicepresident and treasurer respectively. A budget of $45,000 was voted, for the coming year. Mr. Li felt "the confer~iice contributed little to the insights and problems faced by the I.S.O. and valuable time was lost in irrelevant discussions. Many delegates were afraid to state their views openly and those who did were unfavourably received by the rest of the group." Dec. 26 - JAN. 1 "DR.

Two student • faculty committees have been set uQ, the first to investigate the discriminating admissions procedures and the other as an admissions review and grievance committee. Both have equal numbers of students and faculty. The 114 students were arrested early Saturday moming (Nov. 2S) by the RCMP following a three day occupation of the administration building in protest of Simon BURNABY (CUP) •• A general strike vote to protest the arrest of 114 students and the admissions crisis went down to defeat at Simon Fraser University last Friday. The vote, which had a 65% turnout, the highest ever, went two to one against the strike. With exams only one week away the students seem to be "copping out". A teach-in was held this Monday to discuss the events of the preceeding weeks. However, this had to cope with acting SFU president Ken Strand's decision that all BEST WISHES for CHRISTMAS and The Holiday Season CANADIAN IMPERIAL BANK OF COMMERCE The Ring Leaders Fraser's admissions policy. Acting administration president Ken Strand called in the 150 unarmed RCMP stating "The University will no longer tolerate any interference with the use of its property. I, and I alone have requested the RCMP to move on campus." Those arrested were released on $100 bail each and at their" preliminary hearing Thursday and Friday had their cases remanded until January. Last week started with a general meeting of 2,500 students on Monday. Four student demands were forwarded to Strand after an overwhelming vote. The demands called on Strand to urge the B.C. Attomey-General to drop the charges against the 114 students, to open all uoiversity files to a committee of three students and three faculty, to call an emergency senate meeting to discuss the original area of disputed admission policy, and to ensure no police remained on campus. On Wednesday a meeting of S,500 students called almost unanimously for a strike. This followed B. C. AttorneyGeneral Leslie Peterson's announcement saying he would not, under any circwn· stances, drop the charges. Procedural wrangling stalled the student strike Thursday as a six hour general meeting got snarled over the wording of the strike ballot. By the time the strike ballot was approved, it was too late to complete the vote. The general meeting Thursday affirmed all the votes and demands taken and made earlier in the week. The SFU set-up requires a general meeting to approve any decisions before they become hinding. CUS president Peter Warian, commenting following the SFU crisis, urged all student representative bodies to get clear statements from their administrations on their policy regarding the use of polity to answer student demands.

He also drew attention to the unbudgeted "loss on some society functions." The Sociology and Anthropology and the Psychology clubs suffered some of the severest cuts to $230 and $250 respectively. The Physics, Biology, Geology and Political Science clubs also suffered budget cuts. Other clubs may have received minor adjustments in their budgets. The Adult Students club, which came into existence thi& year, receiv,ed $175 from Council. The Forestry Club budget allowance increased to $790. An increase in advertising revenue by the Argus decreased the amount it received in subsidy from the Council by more than $2000. Mr. Wallace stated later, "As some clubs do not fill all of their budget allotment, We should be able to make it through the year.' ' The budget this year is attempting to subsidize academic and cultural needs and to put social events on a break-even basis. The budget included a $1,200 surplus on the nearly $55,000 in revenue. �argus. december 5, 1968, page 9 Santa Claus became a myth i was unhappy in new knowledge and i was six Next year the snow fell, it still twinkled the lights on houses shone, still multi~coloured the tree had an angel, sti 11 pretty friends became closer, brothers nicer and i was happy and i was seven wendy wilson Christmas is...

And it will in all probability tum out that way in the long run. The difficulty at present. seems to be in finding a suitable point of departure: or, how do you take a picture of a train when you are riding in it? Such is this book. The book's opening pages greet the wary reader with semantical games, notably: Establishmentarianism Dise&tablishmentarianism An tidises tablishmen tari an ism Arianism Al though the significance of this series of words is not readily discemable, it does take • on new dimensions as the ideas in the book unfold, one by one. Actually this is what student protest is all about, and inasmuch "Student Protest", too, maybe. Student protest can be rhetorically oriented with its followers actively playing this sort of semantical game. It is a trap not at all new. Words are of course essential. But they ~e also misused, and all too often overemphas1Zed. _In cases where words form the totality an~ neith~r Iec1:d to nor have their origins in actions, impatience leads to mistrust and rejection. Says McGuigan: "'When the older generation claims thatthe young really do not try to understand what is being said, that is the first and most total misunderstanding of all. The younger generation knows perfectly well what their elders only too clearly are saying-and they are rejecting it. " (p. 15) Thus the rejection of the set of values which form the fortress of the older generation; it is clearly indicated in the word game. But it is more than just that. More than one author in "Student Protest" makes reference to an actual cultural • difference between younger and older generations. The new, emerging way of thinking has its roots in an approach to life, and to its meaning, which may be contrary to that adhered to by the older generation. Because students were born into a world filled with fear, and grew up in a world of affluence and poverty, their accumulated reality, their memories and their concerns, are implicitly different from those of an older generation which weathered its own cultural shocks. McGuigan points out that the two groups are different "semantically, logically, and culturally", and by butting heads potential!Y are in danger of "destroying what is good m the old world and what shows promise for the future". (p. 14) It is clear that the contributors to "Student Protest" are concerned about the inability of the two groups to communicate. In the selection of opinions included •• by no means a definitive statement, but by the same shake of the fist not an inadequate selection either .. the radical writers take great pains to make sense to those who are also concerned: con• cerned enough to want to understand students' motivations, those cold winds that chill their spines, and drive them onward. - ~ . .· ~ · ~ 'ti& V..A .. please don't shoot the piano player "'No one disputes that the final test of a ~ood musician is the quality of his playmg.

As the society You Guys in the Academic Gowns changes physically, so must it change emotion· ally, morally, and culturally. Thus in the Get to Stand at the Bottom accelerated pace of the modem scientific situation, we must recognize at once the need of the Hill to use change as a basis for institutions.

Why should two members of the college have offices to themselves when we are crying for space?

We would set up office hours, we would come and do office work, we would start playing all sorts of roles, not because we felt right playing those role& but because the bloody offices demanded them of us. We canned the idea, and instead we've installed a number of desks, with a typewriter and phone, which anyone can come and use (including us) for reading, writing, or office work." (p. 77) Lee talks further of the "brash sanity" of that question, when in the mind of another it would be a ridiculous, and probably impudent, query. For in the alternative which Rochdale presents, the reality of the situation is altogether different. GOD IS DEAD THE QUEEN IS DEAD but LEVESQUE LIVES ON or The Ghost of Bastilles Past Considered sacred in the English-Canadian protest scene is the idealistic belief in holding firmly to your stand until ultimate victory or defeat; Not so in French Canada. It is again another alternative to the way of the established society, but it is based on another set of values, and in another culture. Daniel La Touche provides an insight into the rationale of U.G.E.Q., and the French-Canadian movement when he states that " ... in a sense Quebec students have sold out to society'_'. But in the same breath he adds that this selling-out was in fact their goal •• "to integrate with society". (p. 180) It is perhaps equally enlightening to read how he sees the English-Canadian movement: .. Working from outside will only bring token reform acceptable to the society that one wishes to change. This is probably why the North American system and the liberal establishment have always accepted radical groups on the fringe. They serve to give good conscience to the establishment, they act as safety valves when there is too much pressure and they are a very good illustration of the demoncracy of the system. They are an asset for the tourist industry." (pp. U0181) . Clearly such an approach to protest is frowned upon in Que bee.

After a bit, though, we realized that he was many of our issues have been more symbolic than real". (p. 269) It appears that nothing in our history has approached the dimensions of colonialization, or isolation, as in other countries. So when students of other nationalities become worked up over issues, Canadians cannot in all truth show much more than sympathetic enthusiasm, and little or no militance. McGuigan states: " ... for lack of issues, we focus on the Eskimos, the local Indians, the atomic bomb, Vietnam. Although these have their own great importance, they have not been issues which in fact made an impact on the personal lives of students in general. For something practical, something that means something at home, we begin to focus on the university but in an intellectual way and with more detachment from world problems than do students in other countries, even though Canadians are becoming dimly aware of their indirect participation in colonial exploitation." (p. 267) The name of Simon Fraser University stands at the top of the list of those most active among Canadian universities. When students this past summer took over the Board Room ("Liberated" it) they turned it into a day nursery. As Harding points out in his article, this was educational, actively because it "went 'beyond people's experience' on campus by not fulfilling their stereotypes or expectations." (p. 96) This exemplifies Harding's further statement that daily issues must effectively be turned into social actions. "Canadian students must avoid a romantic identification with militant students abroad", he writes.

Like it or not, a book is an established thing •· its words do not change. So a position taken becomes fossilized, dogmatic, static. Even the one who realizes this trap falls into it, because as he contributes, he too becomes a part. One part or another, or even the whole book can thus be meaningful, but cannot be final or indispensable to anyone, because of its static quality. That observation, says George Payerle, has a lot to do with radicalism. And what about the piano player? "So the program notes for the radicals have been provided. We have seen performances on television. We have heard comments on the performances by professors, administrators and the public at large. It is time, then to read what the radical students are saying in a way they themselves wish to be heard." (p. 14) Read it. STUDENT PROTEST: THE STUDENT RADICAL IN SEARCH OF ISSUES by Gerald F.

The saying does not often see print, but it sums up the attitude of the typical narcotic addict. "Narcotic" comes from the Greek word "narke" meaning "topor", and in scientific parlance means just about that • "an agent which . brings about a rever• sible depression of cellular metabolism and activity in the central nervous system." The narcotics control agencies, however, have gradually expanded the word to mean any drug that is illegal. Most available narcotics, in the scientific sense of the word, are derived from opium, which in tum comes from the poppy plant. About 450 tons per year would satisfy the medical needs of the world. About 2,800 tons are produced. Heroin is the most popular drug among the opium derivatives. It is made by mixing morphine, one of the alkaloids of opium, with acetic acid, and is very, very addictive. It goes under the name "Horse", "Harry", "H", etc. But what about the Eimers of our society? How do the stereotype drug addicts fit into the picture? Why have we heard so much about them? The stereotype drug addict, the man with a monkey on his back, is only a very small part of the total drug scene. There are, according to the Department of Health and Welfare, just over !J,57!J narcotic addicts in Canada (1965 figures). !J, 180 are "street add· icts," 251 are medical addicts, (addicted in the course of medical or other treatment) and 142 are professional addicts (doctors, nurses, dentists, druggists and veterinarians). For a realistic appraisal oftheproblem, compare those figures with the over two hundred and fifty thousand addicts to alcohol that the Alcoholism and Drug Ad· diction Research Foundation reports. Narcotic addicts want nothing more than a regular supply of a relatively inexpensive chemical to live almost-normal lives. But the problem is rarely seen but through a veil of emotion. The Alcoholism and Drug Research Foundation says "Narcotic addiction seems to serve as a focus of public and police anxiety rather than being regarded in a perspective more suited to this modern age of chemical living, as a public-health problem." Fortunately, judging from the lessening number of scarce articles written since the l 9!J0' s, this irrational "focus of public and police anxiety" on narcotics is blurring. Unhappily, instead of disappearing, this "focu~• has merely shifted • to the psychedelic drugs. , Psychedelics Psychedelic comes frpm ·two Greek words meaning "mind manifesting" and that is exactly the effect its proponants claim. Marijuana, LSD, mescaline, and peyote all are psychedelic drugs. Marijuana Marijuana is at least as old as alcbobol. Brownygreen, smelling somewhat like tea, marijuana is simply the dried leaves of the plant Cannabis Saliva or hemp. This is a tall hardy weed that will grow almost any• where, including Canada. Some farmers in Ontario actually used it as a wind• break (it grows fast and is sturdy) until the RCMP found out. The drug brings a mild euphoria (feeling of well being), as well as some minor but pleasurable distortions of space and time. It is cont'd next page Psychedelicatessen Nutmeg A secret hallucinogen long used by prison inmates. About one third of a small tin, stirred into fruit juice to mask the bitter taste, produces an effect like a marijuana high. Drowsiness, nausea, constipation Bfld an unpleasant hangover count against it. Nutmeg is not illegal. Morning-glory seeds Chewed raw in sufficient quantities some varieties give a mild high. Nausea, constipation, hangover and a crummy taste are its drawbacks. You can always use them to grow flowers. DMT Name is a mo~h/ul itself - dimethyltryptamine. Less potent than LSD but stronger than marijuana, this drug is proving a rival to LSD. Highs last for less than WI hour, giving it the name "businessman's trip".

Far, far, far, stronger than LSD. Highs are longer, stronger and run a higher chance of being a bad trip. Only experienced acid-heads tackle this one. Marijuana Mexican for "Mary Jane" and also known as "pot", "grass", and "tea", marijuana is the mildest of the hallucinogens.

In contrast to the narcotics, it creates a healthy appetite. A serious difference of opinion exists over the ef• fects of marijuana. The police have led the blitzkreig against the weed from its introduction into North America in the 20' s. They .have claimed it is addictive, morally degrading, destroys the will, and leads directly to heroin, insanity and sexual perversion. And their opinion counts. Not only do they influence conservative members of society and politicians, but they have the job of enforcing the laws. If they decide to use one tenth of their man• power to throw teenyboppers in jail for marijuana offences, they can do it. Those personally ex• perienced with the drug disagree with police. They report no increase in tolerance, little or no psychological dependence, no with drawal symptoms. Some• times very rarely, it can produce temporary psychotic reactions with some personalities. A spokesman for the Alcoholic and Drug Addiction Research Foundation says, •~Law enforcement agencies present it as a vicious habit which is spreading to teenagers in schools, which is associated with sexual violence and perversion, and which leads directly to heroin addiction. The only connection with heroin is that they are both illegal.,. Scientific investigation into marijuana has proceeded slowly, synthesis was very recent. But one thing can be said of certain. Marijuana is definitely non• addictive. The scientific W9rld sides with the PQthead against the police on this point. LSD LSD is the newcomer to the field, and has swept to the forefront of public atten,, ti.on of a wave of publicity. Although it has a gargantuan chemical name • lysergic acid diethylamide • only a speck of the drug is needed to produce its compelling effects. Users are treated to a world of flashing lights, colorful pattems, memolies out of the past and sharpened insights into human nature. Sometimes they are treated to a vision so horrible that professional help is needed to re~just afterwards. Fortunately, there is a remedy in another easily obtained drug • chlorpromazine. Chlorpromizine is a tran• quilizer, and for the few takers who are sent to a private hell instead of heaven this provides dramatic relief. Big city hospital systems keep in touch with a doctor or psychiatrist experienced in bringing down these unfortunate trippers. LSD is totally non-addictive. Nevertheless, LSD can be· dangerous. The user is un• able to distinguish clearly between visions and reality, and this can lead to trouble. A user who believes he can fly is just as dead crushed from a fall as if he had been killed when drunk driving. Another danger recently brought to light and christened in a blaze of publicity, is the chance the LSD damages chromosomes. Much work needs to be done, and conclusions are only tentative, but the evidence points towards permanent damage to genetic material and the chance of deformed children for really determined LSD users. What has NOT been publicized • and this puts the LSD chromosome damage in perspective • is that much more common drugs do the same thing. The same studies show similar effects from coffee, aspirin and cola drinks. 7-up will be pleased. Mescaline, peyote, DET and DMP are drugs that have a similar effect to LSD but in a milder form. Peyote is con• sumed by Indians in the USA for religious ceremonies in much the same fashion as alcohol and marijuana were once used. throughout all the con• fusion about the different drugs and chemic als with which mankind dilutes his bloodstream, one fact stands clear • a significant proport• ion of the public need some kind of chemical aids to living. Maybe this is an indictment of our society; but i~. is true. Refusal to face up to it is an even greater indictment. The Laws But in any question involving drugs, there are al· ways two factors to con• sider• one, the actual effects of the drug, and two, the image the public and the lawmakers have of it. The discrepancy between the two is the cause of much of the problem associated with drugs. Marijuana, for instance, is non-addictive, harmless, and even has some beneficial effects on artists. Alcohol is addictive, cruelly damaging, and is a very expensive social problem. Yet Marijuana is illegal and brings up to seven years in jail to those caught merely possessing it, while consumption of alcohol is encouraged through advertising and is sold by the govemment. Also, under the current drug legislation, a person is actually guilty until proven innocent. If a person is found with marijuana on his property or in his clothing, and was not aware of it, it is up to him to prove it. If he cannot he is presumed guilty. Obviously, something is rotten in the state of our drug laws. The somethin_g is usually ignorance and irrationality. Here is a statement from the Alcoholism and Drug Addiction Research Foundation,• an agency of the Ontario government, set up long ago to study chemical aids to living. "The fact that a smoker found with one cigarette may be sent to a penitentiary is fantastic and ridiculous when compared to the use of alcohol and its effects. The situation is really a disgrace to our civilization and merits much consideration." e WIUSON STATIONERS UMffED Port Ar1hw or .Fort William For Your For The Unique Gift This Christmas Visit The Treasure House 7 aouth cumberland street. port arthur For the Festive Season, be sure to shop McNulty"s.

John and Secord Sts. Dial 344-1743 �argus, december 6, 1988, page 16 Science and Philosophy: a dialectic by Dorothy George r A manifestation of the university apparent to the critical and the uncritical student alike is the schism between Arts and Sciences. This division is due mainly to the increase of data and specialization of study in sciences. Consequently, some four hundred years ago, Science split off from its parent discipline, Philosophy. To the uncritical student, this split is a minor fact of history, irrelevant to contemporary science. Today, he argues, Science deals with "facts". These facts, examined rigidly according to the "scientific method", yield greater and greater positive knowledge--a pyrimid-like structure with physics and, chemistry at its apex. In the face of the successes of physical science, the "life" sciences--biology, psychology, sociology--emerging later from the matrix of Philosophy, came to adopt the scientific method from physical sciences, and to reduce the phenomena of Ii ving organisms to the categories and terms of physics and chemistry. Using this certain knowledge, man may construct a better and better world, where human life becomes easier, safer and more pleasant. In time, the mechanistic study of man the social animal will j yield to the sociologist-technocrat the solution to all the problems to which man is heir. Now as a working hypothesis, the critical student can find little fault with this method. It has yielded results in medicine and other technology which undoubtedly made many people's lives more comfortable. Yet the critical student may doubt the validity of assumptions proper to the physical sdiences when they are applied in a comprehensive and exclusive manner to the life sciences. To clarify this issue, one might turn to Biology. In the main, this science has opted to draw its assumptions from the physical sciences. Chief among them are: the naturalistic postulate , which affirms that phenomena will universally behave in an identical way under identical conditions; and the mechanistic assumption that behavior of all living organisms, including man, is reducible to laws of physics and chemistry, and the corollary that behavior in man is just response to physical and social t:nvironment. Thus the great majority of biologists today do not concern themselves with the question of mechanism versus vitalism in evolution theory, but assume the former. Is it still valid to talk about man in nonphysical categories? At least one view suggests it may be. In an article in SCIENCE magazine, published by the American Association for the Advancement of Science, Professor M. Polanyi of Manchester University, a chemist, suggests that the mechanistic approach in biology may impede the advancement of knowledge. To paraphrase his analogy, suppose a physical scientist were to examine an arti• fact, say a manuscript, referring soley to its physical properties including its "behavior". Chemically he would observe certain compounds and at least one element. -Its physical characteristics would include "information" in the sense that certain black patterns on its surface would exhibit statistically improbable behavior: i.e. the elements t, e and h would occur more frequently in the series THE than could be accounted for by chance. He sees no phenomenon in physics or chemistry alone which could account for this behavior. There is no apparent physical connection between the pattern elements. His search must cease at this point, unless he makes an assumption. He may assume that there is a physical or chemic al explanation not evident now to science. Or he may assume the existence of an order which transcends physics and chemistry, such as that imposed by a vital factor such as human or other intelligence. Or he may make a third possible assumption-that no "higher order'' could exist than that of physics and chemistry. In so doing he would be subject to criticism on philosophic grounds. The basis for this criticism lies in the fact that IF a higher organization has "caused" the improbable arrangement of letters, then the nature of all reality, including the real nature of the manuscript, can be better known by the scientist who keeps his mind open to this possibility. If he can allow for such "vital" possible causes as human culture and consciousness, he can come to know what relationships may exist between the manuscript and other entities in the physical world. Is there a creative force in the universe? Narrowly applied, such a question is irrelevant. A hypothesis .that the~e IS such, again if narrowly applied, might ·lead to danger• ous fallacy, unless supported by unequivocal evidence. But if this question is shut out from wide application, then one is forced into assumpt· ions themselves possibly misleading, but inevitable by default. Such, I maintain, is the mechanistic approach to biology, psychology and human culture. This analysis, whether correct or not, calls for a dialectic between the arts, the pure sciences and the social sciences. It represents areas of metaphysical speculation and rational criticism of human knowledge and the human condition for which no one science is adequately equipped. Philosophy, as an integrating, critical, rational and unprejudiced discipline, can provide the aegis under which men from science and social sciences may meet. Dialogue, unlimited by the bounds of any one discipline, may extend to areas, such as values and aesthetics, neither dated nor irrelevant to contemporary man. Happily we have in this university, a few who would engage in such a dialectic, not an eristic approach. Such people were among those who presented papers at the seminar, EVOLUTION AND MIND, on November 14th, and those who came to hear them. This presentation, through no fault of the panelists, had too much content. But the questions raised in the discussion period indicated an interest in further development of the theme of interdisciplinary dialogue. Perhaps a seminar on MIND involving two psychologists, a biologist and a logician would be fruitful. Students are invited to join in the debate in Argus, in meetings, and in the coffeeshop. Student Power advocates will find the question relevant to student-controlled curriculum·· but only if they believe in responsibility as well as freedom.

Friday night the packed bleachers witnessed a breath• taking match between the General Beadle State College Trojans (Madison, South Dak· ota) and our own Lakehead University Nor'Westers. The crowd's reaction was pheno• menal as the Trojans squeak• ed a 61-59 victory from the Nor'Westers. Preparation for the opening whistle saw Dan Carroll, Phil Fury, Willie Jerks, Wayne Humpherys and Don Holmstrom facing the relatively short line of Tom Orton (6'), Dennis B ladow(6'1 "), Keith Anderson (6'1 "), Mike Alberts (6'2"), and Dean Jaacks (6'4"). Carroll took the jump but the Nor'Westers' first scoring opportunity was lost; in fact, both teams missed many early baskets and it was not until one minute and five seconds had elapsed that Holmstrom connected for two on a jumper. The L.U. team played a good zone defense but it was not long before the Trojans began shifting their positions and opening up the center area.

The game was a slow starter - it was 16:52 before the Trojans got their first two pointer from the field but were not long in picking up two more as the Nor'Westers had a little trouble dominating the boards in their own end. At the 14:51 mark Fury tied a 5-5 ball game and it threatened to be a long even• ing. With the clock showing 11 :55, it appeared that the Nor'Westers were having more than a Ii ttle trouble breaking the Trojan's defense. With approximately one minute remaining the Nor' Westers failed to score even one point in a flurry of shots at the Trojan basket. Halftime found the Nor'Westers on the low end of a 36·22 score. The second half began as usual with Carroll out jumping the opposing center. A few seconds later Carroll regained possession of the ball, shot and missed but the rebound came off to the waiting Phil Fury who flipped the ball through the hoop for two big ones. This was the start of the rally that saw Lakehead come closer and closer to tying the score. At 16:27 Willie Jerks made a fantastic effort as he suc• ceeded in putting the ball into the basket on a lay-up from under the backboard. By 13:40 the Nor'Westers had come within five points of the leading Trojans on scoring plays by Fury, Hum· pherys and Jerks. At the 11 :50 mark of the second half Humpherys scored a three point play as he was fouled on a drive, bringing the score to 43-41 for the visiting club. Jerks tied the score at 9:21 and thus began a see-saw battle for the lead.

The Trojans were not long in regaining the lead • at the 5:01 mark Fury had a change to tie a 49-48 ball game with a foul shot but missed. Tied at the buzzer As the excitement of the dying minutes· increased, both teams missed a lot of easy scoring opportW1ities and turnovers were prevalent. The Nor'Westers got a little sloppy under the boards and the Trojans pulled ahead by three. The crowd was frantic as the Trojans began to fr~eze the ball at the 3:09 mark. Holmstrom fouled a Trojan player so L. U. would have an opportunity to regain possession of the ball. The strategy worked and Carroll made the score 53-51 on a two-pointer with only 1:05 left in the game. The Nor'Westers held the Trojans scoreless and, with only 29 seconds left to play, Jerks broke loose and scored on an easy lay-up. The game was tied 53-53 when the buzzer sounded! As the overtime began, Nor'Westers opened the scor• ing but it was tied again immediately by Alberts for the Trojans. Louis Pero was next hooking for two points while Jerks, Davis and Holm• strom all missed good chances. Davis then fouled Orton who made one and one to tie the score again with only 2:12 left in the period. Orton then hit on a long one and the crowd showed its disapproval. The Trojans again exhibit• ed their ball controlling ability by freezing the action in the outer court. But L.U. managed to regain possession of the ball and Jerks hooked the ball through the hoop to tie the score. With seconds remaining the Trojans passed the ball the length of the court to Bladow who was standing under the Nor'Westers basket. Those two points were the ones to win it for the Trojans. The final score• 61-59. The players were not the only ones performing on the floor, however. The quality of the refereeing was questioned audibly by the Beadle state players. Jerks was high scorer for L.U. with twenty- one points while Holmstrom took top rebounding spot with eleven. Alberts led the Trojan scoring with eighteen; Bladow scored seven teen points and pulled in the same number of re• bounds. Saturday's rematch Saturday's rematch wai:. scheduled to begin at 12:00 noon and was witnessed by a disappointingly small crowd after Friday's massive turnout. The few that did come, how• ever, were well rewarded as the Nor'Westers took a 62-55 victory over Beadle State. The key to the victory seemed to be summed up in Coach Birger's own lwords: "Scoring in the first half was much improved over last night's game." His state• ment seems somewhat weak when one considers the true state of affairs • the halftime of Friday's game foWld the L.U. boys down fourteen points, while in Saturday's game they enjoyed an eight point lead at the half. A difference of 22 points. L.U.'s shooting percent on Saturday was 43% from the field, a vast improvement from the 29% of the previous evening. They hit 36% from the free-throw line. Beadle State, on the other hand, were shooting 35% from the field and a strong 54% from the line. Jerks was the big hitter for the Nor'Westers with nineteen followed by Fury's thirteen. Carroll tied down the rebounding spot by reaching hard for seventeen. J aacks scored sixteen points for Beadle State while Bladow had twelve points and fourteen rebounds. COMPARE 1969 AUSTIN STD.

The Native Cultural Committee, an AMS offshoot, has involved itself in formulating an educational program desig/ned not only for th€ student body but also for the community at large. The program will provide a forum upon which the beginning of a cross-cultural, communicative and constructive dialogue will be based. The Committee has been successful in its efforts to gather together for the Seminar an informed and concerned group of resource persons. They include Mary Carpenter, an Eskimo, who has attacked the policies of the Indian Affairs Department; Allan Borovoy, a prominent civil rights leader; Gene Rheaume, an executive member of the National Progressive Conservative Party; Hector King, President of the Armstrong Indian Association, who led the struggle to get non- treaty Indians into Armstrong schools; Ernest Benedict, an Iroquois from Cornwall presently with the CYC, and who is trying to organize a travelling Indian school; Jack Doner, a lawyer from Kenora; Ian Mackenzie, from Rochdale College; and Marlene Pierre, who is involved with the Indian Youth Friendship Centre in Port Arthur. Liberal M.P. Robert Andras will be on hand to address the final banquet. The key points of the agenda, available at the AMS office, are two panels: Saturday morning the main feature is a Native Adult Panel, while Saturday after• noon, a Native Youth Panel will meet to discuss "The Just Society". The result is that there are certain reactions to specific opinions, whether they be hostile or supportive. It is a fact, however, that one cannot understand a minority movement together with its causes, goals and nature until the individual has been exposed to some or all of the ~ lfiS.RLG ~ rum. The seminar will be held in the University Centre and will be open to both st11dents and the general public. A registration fee will be charged ($2.00 for students, $S.50 for non-students) and includes the final banquet at which Robert Andras will speak.

This is in spite of a Dec. 16 memorandum sent to prin• ciples of all public schools by the Dept. of Education "that principals and teachers refrain from its use!' Those teachers and principals inter viewed all indicated that the memorandum had caused a sharp decline or an outright halt in the use of corporal punishment but none could say that it was yet actually "a thing of the past." Neither Mr. David Morgan, recently elected chairman of the new Lakehead Board of Education. nor Mr. 0. J. Lees, superintendent of Fort William elementary schools. could cite any official local action, Mr. Morgan said that this was an issue "many people would rather not discuss." He went on to say that if some indi• vidual would take the ini ~iative in bringing the matter up when the new Lakehead Board met, definate action could result.. The strap has been €Ono doned in the past in Fort William public schools, said Elementary Superintendent J. 0. Lees. "It will be one of the matters discussed Monday at the Fort William principals' meeting." he added. The strap has neve~ been specifically authorized by any legislative act but was con• doned under Section 40 (l) (b) of Ontario Regulation 339/66 which states that, "A pupil shall submit to such disci pline as would be exercised by a kind, firm and judicious parent." The Dec. 16 memorandum signed by G. L. Duftm, assistant deputy minister of e ucation reads, 0 0 0 " ... it is con• sidered that the use of cor• poral punishment in any form is not appropriate in ·the schools of Ontario and it is recommended that principals and teachers refrain from its use. " The consencus among Lakehead educators seems to be that this is just a recom• mendation, in the words of one Vice-principal, "not to be regarded as definate." One teacher said that he still used it in his school but assured us that " ,in: cases where it was used, it was deserved." The "deterrent" role of the strap was stressed by this teacher who said that often "the strap on the desk" or "the sight of the office door" was enough to "scare" pupils into proper behaviour. He said the strap was seldom used with older students be cause it was no longer effect• ive in scaring them. Teachers in other schools said they had received "no instructions" from their prin• cipals or were waiting "for the word" from the principals' meeting or the Board of Edu cation In the absence of a de• finate policy the strap remains an object of fear for Lakehead school children For others it continues to be an even more real experience i11 education through pain. One small child described a recent strapping. "We all listened while the teacher strapped one boy. The door was open to the of• £ice and we could hear it. Everybody was real quiet ... After, the teacher brought him back into the room in front of everybody. His eyes were all red from crying." Larry Anderson of the Lakehead Psychology Department was asked for his views on the effec. of cor CENTENNIAL SQUARE 0 0 0 FORT WILLIAM poral punishment on child learning. "I am absolutely opposed to it. There may be times to hit a child but not as a form of punishment, i.e., if a child does something that may injure himself." "The whole concept of punishment is questionable ... it re-inforces a child's hosti• lity. . . reflects only that we are bigger and stronger." Prof. Anderson saw an indi• cation of this in the fact that corporal punishment is not employed in high schools. "Children between 10 and 12 years old are very egocentric" he said; thus they are bound to resent those who express their authority by force. "It inhibits the learning process." Prof. Anderson concluded: "Hitting is a sign of a lack creativity in child rearing." The Hall-Dennis report, known officially as The Re• port of the Provincial Com• mittee on Aims and Object• ives in the Schools of Ont ario, recognizes the fallacy involved in the use of cor• poral punishment. "Physical discomforts in the form of deprivation ot punishment do not make a positive contribution toward learning/' The report goes on to quote Dean Neville Scarf: "It does not do people good to be compelled to suffer and school staffs.

This problem requires immediate resolution. lbr many who have already learned the lessons of the strap: that might makes right, that obedience precedes love and that to err is unforgivable, it may already be too late. . Unless those concerned about these children make themselves heard, in letters and words, the education of the strap could continue for months, years or forever. Presently the adult society is in a position which is particulary contemptible in the eyes of the children. The error has been admitted but nothing has been done to correct it.

"For the past while the press has been talking about outside agitators, a militant minority attempting to mould students' minds and destroy the university." Loney said. "I have been looking for these .people and now I think I have finally found them •· on the board of governors of the University of Saskatchewan." Regina student councillor John Gallagher told the meeting that the issue is not the Carillon but the survival of the student council here. With support from Ralph Smith, council's past president, and Don Mitchell, council presi• dent in 1966•67, Gallagher outlined previous admini• stration attempts to suppress the Carillon. The Regina administration maintains it has left open channels for discussions and negotiation. between the stu• dent council and the board of governors, although council has consistently charged the governors with imposing censorship and restricting free speech within the uni• versity. In a statement Wednesday, the administration outlined its version of past conflicts with the Carillon and said: "One of the duties of the board of governors is to have regard for the welfare and advancement of the university. If any organization of the uni• versity, including the student newspaper, persists in acting in a manner considered to be harmful to the university, the board must disassociate the university officially from any involvement.'' The student council earlier dismissed this argument by pointing out the university's ca1endar urges students to carry on a continuing exami• nation of institutions and ideas. The calendar adds: "This constant cntique must be applied first to the structure and function of the university itself." The student council at the U. of S. campus at Saskatoon also condemned the governors' action, demanding in a meeting Tuesday that the board reverse its decision and guarantee the autonomy of student press and student government at both campuses. The Saskatoon council demanded a res ix>nse by Mon• day, although a general stu• dent meeting called Wednesday failed ·to gain a quorum. Those present, however, overwhelm• ingly supported their council's action. , �letters to the editor· , Loan.system ridiculo~ The dog growls threateningly. He is not satisfied.

Committee. Bank 'bleeds' students) I would like to straighten out a few facts on which you have misinformed students. The standard rate of all banks is 10¢ for each with• drawal on your personal "cbequing" account. You are right in stating there is no interest in a chequing account. The charge on a chequing "savings" account is 20¢ per item. On this ac.count you are getting from 4•6% interest depending on the bank. It usually turns out that your charges are more than your interest so, you are i:un.. ning a ·loss. My complaint was the same as yours for, I found that I was running $15/year service c·harges. On contacting every: bank I found that there was no way to escape the chequing service charges for, they all bad identical rates (talk about a monopoly). As a solution I find that Royal Trust has the best offer. They have no service charges on their personalized chequing accounts and pay 4½% interest on your ½ yearly minimum balance. In conclusion I would like to suggest that next time the bid for banking services comes up it would be best to get better service for the students rather than minimize admini• stration costs. Robert Polischuk, Bus. Admin. you were told that your burs cheque had not come in y (Perhaps it was all an exc cise in learning to be patie or in learning to love welfa. lines).

In a front .. page article, Mr. John MacGregor was permitted to publicize glaring sacrilege. Although he undoubtedly did not regard it as such, the slightest respect for other human beings should have given him the foresight to perceive the the offensiveness his article carried for some. Surely Mr. MacGregor realizes that if one does not support a particular belief, this does not give him the right to ridicule those who do.

This is the greatest violation of university autonomy in Canadian history. If the precedent goes unchallenged, academic freedom in Canada becomes a sham. Pub Ii c support for dropping charges is paramount if this violation of university autonomy is to be challenged. In the past the RCMP have violated university autonomy through political investi• gations of students and fac• ulty. The administration has been complicit in this. The administration is now also complicit in this dangerous precedent of calling cops on campus. Strand has taken responsibility ("I and I alone") for bringing the RCMP here. This may or may not be accurate. He also announced the laying of criminal charges. He may or may not understand the severity of the charges. He may or may not have "freaked out". (La&t Friday morning he left the impression that no action would be taken ) He may or may not have acted with Board and Socred approval; or under their duress. It is clear they now support his action. As an American President, he made the American choice; police. As an American he may not realize that no Bill of Rights nor effective civil liberty protections exist in Canada. But, the fact remains, he must take responsibility for this rape of university auto• nomy in this country. Strand has shown that administrative authority rests on the POWER and force of the state, not on REASON m a democratic community of faculty and students. Strand's "reason over power" has been exposed as meaning-less. It is the reliance of the administration on state and police power that makes its charges of coercion ag·ainst the 114 totally ridiculous. If coercion is defined as any action outside "established forums" in this university •• and the establishment proves itself unwilling and /or unable to deal effectively with the B.C. educational cns1s (specifically the 4 demands)•· then all criticism that leads to reform action becomes "coercion". Such a defini• tion is a play on words. The real issue is whether civil disobedience is justified when the established power is no longer used in the interests of the people. The real issue is how do we change esta• blished channels that are in• effective and undemocratic. Some will say THE LAW at any cost. The issues are too vital for such pass1v1ty. Moral judgements now need to be made. FUNDAMENTALLY it 1s the Socreds reactionary educational policies that under• lies this issue. Bennett's statement that he will not comment on the arrests be• cause it is an "internal university matter" shows the extremes to which the Socred government will distort the question.

He showed how our zeal to write like the socalled .. intellects .. , and the limitations of our language, result in our 'educatedly' putting together words in a meaningless manner. We write sentences and paragraphs whose meanings, if there are any, exist only in an abstract sen.&e. . . No concrete image or p1c• ture of understanding is flash• ed on the mind's screen. No relationshi.p can be establish• between things the reader is already aware of in his life and what he is reading. He is told nothing. So he turns off. And man, Ray is right. So often we put a book aside after reading paragraphs over and over trying to figure out where the author's at. We know the dictionary meanings of all the words used; but when they come together, something goes wrong. The message stops abruptly as if s?meo1:1e deliberately cut the wires m the middle of our conversa• tions. We read a second time• the same thing happens • only thls time we are confused. Third reading • frustration; and any attempt at the fourth turns you off man. No story is told. .S-hankman demonstrated this through George Orwell's essay "Politics and the English Language". in which passages with such names as Professor Harold Laski at• tached to them are shown to be looking and sounding beautiful, but void of meaning. They reach no one, maybe not even the author. Here"s one or Orwell's examples: "Above all we cannot play ducks and drakes with a native battery of idioms which prescribes such egregious collo• cations of vocables as the Basic 'put 11p with' for 'tolerate' or 'put at a loss' for ''bewilder." Professor Lancelot Hogbel Then with a lot of imagery, Shankman showed what ima• gery meant, using the word characters of the Chinese. Man, like so many things •we are now getting at, our eastern friends have been with for a long time. He stuck up on the board the Chinese character for "har,piness" and proceeded to do an analytic study of the word.

Now that President Hare of UBC has, in effect supported the 4 demands it is becoming clearer to people that basic educational reform is needed and that this is THE ISSUE. THIS !S A VITAL TEST CASE. THE FUTURE OF ALL CANADIAN UNIVERSITIES WILL BE AFFECTED. THE SOCREDS MUST BE CHALLENGED IF UNIVER• SITY AUTONOMY IS TO BE PROTECTED, AND EDU• CATIONAL REFORM TO OCCUR. Moral choices must be made. Our lives, our whole lives, are now involved in this issue. We do not wish to be treated as martyrs. Our action was to expose the administrative complicity in Socred bankrupcy. Still there are dire consequences for us. Those arrested are a small number of those in• volved in action in support of the four demands. Victim• ization of us is an attempt to divert attention from the government's and university administrations's failure to deal with the real issues. Dropping of charges is ne• cessary TO UNDERCUT THIS EVASION and to refocus on the four demands. It is an indictment to this society that such risks must be taken to allow the people affected by power decisions to know how those de ~isions are made. Thus we issue an appeal to all SFU and BC students to build support for the demands amongst the whole community. Only broad, knowledgeable, and com• mitted support can ensure that we are not punished be cause of our role in education reform. Our cause is just. Our commitment is now unshake able. Our lives are now on the line. Students must now choose between an autonomous and democrati~ university and an authoritarian instit• ution within a potentially authoritarian society. 0 PAPERRAflS AND PAP[RBAO(S MID PAPERBACKS (IIND ttDR1!

Councillor Mike Gravelle added, "He did a no-no, But I think the fact is that he can do a swell job." This was the same councillor who said, "I for one have lost confidence in Rene Larson," ancj. asked for Larson's resignation after the Chief Justice had been cleared of charges against him. In Larson's case, the mere fact that charges were brought up was enough to ask for his resignation, In Barkwell's case, a conviction was not enough, The debate finally came to a vote amidst pleading and cajoling from Barkwell's supporters. The vote was 8-7 in favour of starting procedures to force the Chief Justice to resign. Vote twice reconsidered For some unknown reason Arthur 'Looye, Arts II, was chairing the meeting, He gazed around the room. Finally someone got an idea. "'Let's reconsider!" "Yes, yes," came the second, Looye ruled the reconsideration in order, without a vote being taken, (This is un• constitutional,) The question of Barkwell's resignation was thus again put to the vote, and again the motion passed. The meeting continued. But the issue was not tQ be left alone yet. Within ten minutes, someone moved to reconsider the question · a second t_ime, Looye accepted the second reconsider• ation again without a vote, Looye claimed he was following Robert's Rules. Robert'·s Rules state clearly that a major• ity vote is necessary to reconsider a motion, and that no motion can be reconsidered twice. The AMS Constitution states clearly that Robert's Rules shall be "recognized as the final appeal" as to rules and procedures, Thus, at this point, Looye had violated Robert's Rules and the AMS Constitution three times, Nor was the mockery to cease at that. On the second illegal reconsideration, the vote was tied 7-7 with one abstention, 'Looye stated that as chairman he had to "follow Robert's Rules, and vote against the motion.''_ No justification Nowhere in Robert's Rules is there justification for this, First of all, nothing compels the chairman to vote specifically against any motion, But Looye claimed he "had no choice," Secondly, LGOJ. • a member of AMS Council, aad has n ote under any circumstances, Thirdly, there was no justification for Looye chairing the meeting, Both Robert's Rules and the AMS Con• stitution say the President will take the chair (AMS President Peter McCormack is an excellent chairman, and was present at the meeting), The rules also outline proced ure for choosing another chairman if the President and Vice-Presidents are tem• porarily incapable of taking the position. In every case the chairman comes from the members of the assembly. This excludes Looye, A further point is that no temporary chairman can replace the President for more than one meeting at a time, and he must be elected by the assembly at the start of the meeting. What political maneuvering has put Looye in the chair, without election, for several meetings? This must be stopped. Looye has obviously misused the position of chairi:nan, . viol~ting the ~onstitution at least five umes in one meeting, those violations resulting in the dropping of procedures to force Barkwell•s resignation. As things stand now, Barkwell will not be forced to resign. Legally, of course, the AMS began proceedings against. him with their first vote, The two reconsider- Two Chief Justices and the Prosecutor Larson -Looye charges Proctors with drinking i !legally -Looye refuses to prosecute due to lack of -evidence and ficticious amendment to the constitution allowing Proctors to drink -Larson fires Looye ..for incompetence and for his actions in court.. -Looye charges Larson with incompetence -Larson cleared of incompetence but it is suggested he resign due to possible lack of confidence and lack of communication with Proctors -entire Judicial committee resigns Barkwell -Barkwell chosen Chief Justice -Barkwel I chooses Looye as Prosecutor although Council has expressed the wish that no members of the old Judicial Committee regain their positions -Barkwell convicted of theft, destruction of university property, advised to resign -Barkwell refuses to resign -AMS Council initiates proceedings against Barkwell to force resignation -Looye, as illegal chairman, ille.gally h_elps earkwell's supporters to stop the proceedings against him -Looye then resigns in protest -photo by Roblin Chief Justice Mike Barkwe/1 ations were illegal (although the first one upheld the decision). However, someone must declare the reconsiderations illegal before any action can begin, Who will do this? The illegal chairman who ruled them legal, Looye? The con• victed Chief Justice, Barkwell? Or pechaps -oc:iale Justice Kevin J e aeau, who said, "If you ask for Barkwell's resignation you'll probably have to ask for mine," (although he later claimed "I just threw that in." Ignorance or self-interest Barkwell and Jesseau never questioned Looye' s incorrect rulings of Jan 14. Barkwell claimed he was presently studying the AMS constitution in detail. However neither he nor J esseau seemed to know the basic rules of procedure on how to reconsider a vote. Either that or they yielded to their own self-interest by ignoring the illegal procedures. On the one hand, incompetence, on the other, deliberate disregard for the constitution. In either case these are not the men who should be judging the student body. Nor is Looye the one who should be chairing the AMS meetings. (Rumour has it that he will soon seek the chair legally, by running for AMS President.) Looye's actions as chairman leave only two PoSsibilities. Either he did not know what he was doing or he had some ult.erior motive for helping Barkwell off the hook. It could not have been mere sympathy -Looye asked for a much stiffer penalty than was given when he prosecuted Barkwell for theft. What could he gain by illegally helping Barkwell's supporters? He could gain the AMS Presidency, Looye has resigned as Prosecutor, giving his reason as the Council's failure to force Barkwell's resignation. If student opinion turned against the Chief Justice for refusing to resign, and against the AMS for its lack of action, then Looye's resignation would look pretty ~ood.. And his bid to. replace the council with an extremely right-wing group might look even better. The ARGUS believes the AMS Council has been foolish, negligent, and weak perhaps less so regarding Barkwell than allowing• Looye to interfere with their actions. �agus, janu.., 23, 1969, page 2 Oct;upation ends This week. ■ ■ THURSDAY, JANUARY 23 S.A.S.

Ratification of the decision is expected in a campus-wide strike vote Monday. Students were outraged when Savoie called police on campus to end their week-long occupation of the Science building. They occupied the building last Saturday to back demands for more government aid for the French-language university. Early Saturday morning, 60 city police and the local RCMP detachment showed up to evict them. Some 100 students marched peacefully out the front door, arms linked, sing• ing Auld Lang Syne in French.

According to student exter• nal Vice-President, Bernard Jauvin, the occupying students were pleased with the faculty proposals, and were willing to accept the arbitration commission. But Savoie rejected the proposal and called the police instead. After the police evacuation Saturday, the faculty associa• tion met again and joined the students in calling for the resignation of Savoie because of his handling of the affair. The controversy centres around student demands that the government give the school a grant of 32 million over the next two years and that half the provincial education bud• get be set aside for french• language education, According to a student spokesman, the university has received only 1,002,000 during its first five years, while the university of New Brunswick was given 22 million last year.

The AMS Council _made a good beginning at a special meeting Monday by removing Art Looye as their charrman. -, AMS President Peter McCormack took the chair and declared that procedures to force Chief Justice Mike Bark• well's resignation would begin. As chairman, Looye had helped to overturn a decision to attempt to oust Barkwell last week. McCormack ruled Looye•s procedures unconstitutional. The Council supported this action and soundly defeated a motion to reconsider Barkwell' s fate. Thus at press time looye is no longer chairing AMS meetings, and is no longer Prosecutor. Barkwell will have to face .a judicial hea"ri!19 on his failure to resign following his coovi,ction for theft. And McCormack and the AMS are taking a good, hard look at the Council's failure to step above the personal prestige. game and get on to the job of working for the student body's interests.

Some people call shoplifting stealing, some people call tax free capital gains stealing, some people call expropriation of private property stealing, some people call unjustified price increases stealing, some people call excessive taxation stealing. Some people call bankruptcies stealing. Some people claim we st_ole this country from the Indians. Recently several young mothers have gone to jail for 10 days for a first offense of shoplifting. The truth is that our modern supermarkets invite theft by the manner in which they merchandize. In fact they partially are responsible for the thefts. In days gone by, for the most part, merchants kept their goods behind a counter and employed clerks to fill their customers' orders. Modern merchandizers dispense· with most clerks in order to reduce -their overhead and, of course, this saving also carries with it the risk of inventory shrinkage. A risk that seems to pay them handsomely. This method of merchandizing is putting temptation in the hands of the customer. As the customer is carrying out the duties that normally would be done by a clerk, whose wage would have to be paid by the merchant, the merchant must assume some of the responsibility for losses which may be incurred by reduction in his staff of clerks. I believe in a just society. For justice must not only be done but seem to be done. All of us have yielded to temptation, or the merchant who indiscriminately gives the public full access to the merchandise knowing full well -the consequences. Christ said, "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone." Our judges do not get their positions. of pow.er by accident. They are appointed, by guess who? Some people feel . the appointments have a social and political base. I don't know. The point is do they represent those who they are to judge? A democracy means government by the people. If the people in a democracy are to be judged should they not have the right to choose those who will judge them? Or must we be lead to believe we have not the intelligence to choose those who will decide who goes to jail and who stays free. Must our masters decide these things for us? For whose benefit? At whose· cost? The most important task we have to accomplish is the expansion of the democratic process or face a regimented society.

January 23, 1989. page 7 Nor'Westers win two from Vermillion The Nor'Westers basketball team took two clear victories from the Vermillion State Iron• men last weekend, Friday night revenge was sweet as the Lakehead team took a decisive 91-62 victory. Last year the Nor'Westers dropped close ones to Vermillion and this year· were determined to- show their superiority. At half-time the Nor'Westers led the Ironmen 50-19, through the combined efforts of Phil Fury, Wayne Humphreys, and Dan Carroll. Don Holmstrom also played well, but ~he crowd was disappointed by the injury of Willy Jerks. Jerks has a minor foot infection which is cramping his style. Fury was shooting better than he has been for a long time. Coach Birger began filtering the second string into the game and these boys out• scored the Ironmen 10-4 in the time they were on. In the sec• ond half the Nor'Westers shot 46% from the field and 80%from the line while Vermillion had 24% from the field and 23%from the line. The second half closely resembled the first, except as Jim ·Johnston commented, "we're losing unnecessary rebounds." The Nor'Westers played a little sloppy but held on to a larg~ margin to end the game with a 91-62 score. Dan Carroll broke the old rebounding record that had been held previously by Holmstrom and Louis Pero. The old record was 22. Carroll marked up 23. On Saturday afternoon Rich• ard Earl started along with the four regulars in place of the injured Jerks. The most out• standing feature of the game was the terrible refereeing. The Nor'Westers were having trouble with a strong Ironmen offense that was hitting more from the outside. But at half• time the Lakehead team held a 45-34 lead, It was Wayne Humphreys in second half who led the scor• ing with 20 points and set a new scoring record with a total of 37 points. The old record, which _had been held by Don Holmstrom, was 36 points. The final scoreinSaturday's game was an easy 87-67 for -the Nor'Westers. They shot 39% from the field and 67%from the line while Vermillion shot 29% from the field and 43%from the line, This weekend the Nor'Wes• ters play host to Concordia State University. Game time Friday and Saturday nights will be 7:30. Hockey team also cleans up with two decisive victories Last weekend the Nor' Westers travelled to St. Cloud, where they skated away with a double victory over the St. Cloud State Huskies. Friday night the Nor'Westers defeated the Huskies 9-3, and on Saturday they continued their winning streak to mark up a 14-2 victory. In the first game Friday, the Nor'Westers outs hot their hosts 57-13, running up period leads of 2-1, and 7-2.

The Nor'Westers dominated play all the way. Don Gutsole started in goal. He played very well in his first start this season. The forwards were having no trouble finding the mark last weekend. This weekend the team plays host to Bemidji State College for Carnival festivities. This is an important game for the Nor'Westers who are bat• ding for a second place berth with Bemidji. They have beaten each other four times in the last two years.

H.S. students stage walkout Students &om Port Arthur Highschools staged a spontaneous walk-out protesting Ontario Government action lengthening the school year. Estimates of the number of students involved varied greatly between 75 and 600. The walk-out began at Lakeview Highschool at 9:05 a.m. when students did not enter their classrooms. Principal William Sime called an assembly in an attempt to discourage the walk-out. However, several students did leave, many heading for other Port Arthur high schools. At PACI police were called when some Lakeview students tried to rally support. Principal Cottenden stated ..no one was arrested, unfortunately 0 • Cottenden described the demonstration against the longer school year as pointless, saying "There's 110thing that can be dooe about it now anyway. ., He went on to say "I suppose Mr. J)avis' visit sparked this. 0 cording to Hillcrest ~Principal W. ff. Boquist, the Lakeview group also went to Hillcrest where "20 students went with them, 6 were senior students, the rest were grade 9 students who don't know which way is up." When questioned if he thought the recent government decision should have been made in consultation with the local boards and students, Boquist answered "I think it should be a province-wide decision made by Mr. Davis and his advisors." Minister of Education, William Davis had reen questioned about the lengthened school term at a meeting Jan. 2-' at Hammarskjold. In reply he said Ontario law states the school year will end June SO, with the final dates for examinations being June 21 or 22 to June 28. Most of the students complained the lengthened term would decrease their chances in the job market. One student stated "a lot of guys are getting jobs and that's two weeks off their pay checks." The walk-out did not appear to be organized by student councils or by individual students, but Friday night student-prepared pamphlets were distributed at dances. ,The pamphlets explained the actioos during the day and the reasons behind them. '{__hey also called for a meeting of the highschool students to be held at the University Jan. 28 to plan further action.

AMS executive elections, CUS referendum soon AMS executive elections, and a referendum on Lakehead's membership in the Canadian Union of Students will both be held February 19. Martin Loney, Presidentelect of CUS, and Marilyn Pilkington, a critical anti-CUS spokesman from Edmonton, will both be at the Lakehead to speak prior to the referendwn. The executive consists of the President, Vice president, and the Director of Finance. Also to be elected February 19 are the three Society Presidents (Arts, Science and University Schools). The date for the opening of nominations has not yet been officially set, but must be set at least two weeks before the scheduled date for the elections. The closing of nominations is 5 pm two days previous to election day. Nomination forms may be picked up from the AMS office. The election of councillors is to be held on March 5, and nominations must be in by February 28. REGINA( CUP) •• About SO University of Saskatchewan students manned picket lines Wednesday (Jan. 22) as negotiations resumed behind closed doors in the fees collection fight between the board of governors and the student union. The pickets, members of Students for a Democratic University, delivered an open letter to board representatives headed: "Don't negotiate •· sign the contract now." Meanwhile the meeting itself made little progress as the student representatives pushed unsuccessfully for a board commitment to collect union fees on union behalf this term. The board announced Dec. tn that it would not collect union fees this term because of union support of the student newspaper, The Carillon. The change in the date of executive elections from that of previous years was proposed by AMS President Peter McCormack at last Monday's meeting in a list of Constitutional Amendments pertaining to elections. The date of the CUS referendum was set at Feb. 19 by the Academics Council, because it was felt students A general student meeting would have more time to exa• mine this important issue than Tuesday agreed to allow the if the referendum were held in negotiations to go behind closed doors, exactly as board March, closer to exams. members had insisted.

COPS !!!! _.1 WASHINGTON(CUP-CPS)-· The first disruption in the I SO-year history of presidential inaugurations was in 1853 when a small band of jobless men tried to stage a "counter parade" at the swearing in of Franklin Pierce. It was halted immediately. Monday (Jan. 20), when Richard Milhous Nixon was being installed as president, di-ssidents were allowed to express their anti-establishment feelings, but not without repression. Planners of the "counterinauguration" feel they succeeded in showing that Nixon took over the reigns of a police state, Riot police and national guardsmen lining the parade route near demonstrators made the tight security seem ominous. Violence occurred as a hard core of demonstrators, impatient with the tame National Mobilization Committee to End the War in Vietnam, manifested their militanceand at the same time the division within the peace movement. Protestors threw sticks, cans and other debris as Nixon's limousine passed along Pennsylvania Avenue in the inaugural parade. Later, hundreds of the most militant rampaged through downtown streets, and police responded with a few clubbings and some 80 arrests. The day before, demonstrators and police clashed briefly outside a reception for vice-president Spiro Agnew. Mounted U.S. park police charged into the crowd, causing panic. Several officers battled the young people when a fellow policeman was attacked. The demonstration ended as youths drifted away to the MOBE's huge tent near the Washington Monument where a "counter-inaugural ball" was to exemplify the "new youth culture." Thousands packed in the tent and waiting to get in grooved on hard rock and freaky light shows despite Now on at Gihsons. • . a Y.E.S. Years Earliest Savings the cold and mud. The tent was the site of a rally Sunday that kicked off a march 0f more than 6,000 protestors down Pennsylvania Avenue. Both the rally and the march were orderly. The purpose of the parade, the placards and the pronouncements was to show the new president that the antiwar movement is not dead. In that sense, the counterinaugural weekend Wc!_S a success. In his inaugural address, Nixon pledged a "sacred commitment" to peace and said: "We see the hope of tomorrow in the youth of today." "I believe in them. We can be proud that they are better educated, more committed, more passionately driven by conscience than any generation in our history." Nixon failed to demonstrate his faith in those American young people along the parade route who wanted to show their commitment and passionate conscience by protesting. However, as his car neared the protestors, "the new Nixon" returned to the sanctity of the · vehicle and the open roof panel was shut. • simon says.. Happiness is the sifting hiss of snow in spruce.

Faculty Association discusses parking The Parking issue finally made the Faculty Association's agenda last Wednesday when two representatives from the AMS Parking Committee spoke to the meeting. Science Society President Fred Poulter and Argus editor Ron Baker discussed a petition (957 signatures) for equal parking rights for students, faculty, and administrators. They pointed out that 720 student stickers had been sold for 587 spots, and that the abundance of snow this year would make the lower lot (250 spots) Into a "quagmire" this spring. They suggested the condition of the student lots might improve if administrators were forced to park in the same situation. The students requested that some method of easier communication be set up to discuss the problem, perhaps a committee, because it had taken t\\O months to get the matter before the Faculty Association. "It's too late to do anything this year," stated Fred Poulter, "but hopefully we can get going on the problem soon for next year." One faculty member com• plained that the students had not done enough preparation before bringing the issue tc the Faculty Association. Another member pointec out that students are not in c good position to get certair kinds of information, and tha perhaps the Faculty Associa tion should not ask the stu dents to do all the work befort they would consider the matter He suggested a committee witl students and faculty member: on it might be appointed ti look into parking.

William Davis, Minister of Education by Doug Smart - Ontario's Minister of Education, William Davis, demonstrated his skill as a politician when confronted with students' questions during his Lakehead visit. Davis, also Minister of University Affairs, twice faced members of the University Community last Thursday. Davis' first confrontation came with his appearance at a University Committee meeting. What was announced by President Tamblyn as a IO-minute question period developed into an hour-long debate between the cabinet minister and those attending the open meeting. Davis was adept at avoiding giving answers which would appear as criticalof this Uni versi ty orof the fundamental educational or social system of the province. On several occasions frustrated questioners asked him to get down to realities. Free tuition was one of the topics raised during the afternoon meeting. This concept was a suggestion to enable a higher percentage of lower-middle and lower class students to attend university. Davis countered this argument with the point that such a scheme would also be giving a gift to the higher income family students who did not need it, and the money could be better spent on grants based on need. This argument received .acceptance from some of his questioners, but others pointed out that a capital gains tax, a more sharply graduated income tax, or other forms of taxation on wealth would counterbalance such a gift and provide more revenue for education in general, as well as tending to equalize the distribution of wealth in society. Political Science lecturer Alan Alexander questioned the financial policy of the department of University Affairs "which will keep the student-faculty ratio exactly as it is." Davis answered that it was up to the individual institutions as to how they allocated their resources. The question of more revenue for the universities was not answered. Another debate, initiated by Psychology lecturer Larry Anderson, concerned the role of universities in training people for certain skills and or giving an education in the liberal arts. Davis first responded that we must have professional faculties, but that a balance should be achieved with the liberal arts. However, in speaking of student power demands he repeatedly used examples of professional facul ~ies such as law to show that the the students could not decide what they should be learning. Missi Powell charged, "I think by virtue of the examples you brought out you are guilty of underestimating the quality of the student demands. Student demands are much more reasonable than a wish not to study necessary material." Jurisdiction was a word Davis relied on heavily during the discussion. One got the impression it was more important that either education or students. On one occasion regarding free tuition he commented on schemes in areas outside Ontario. But on another occasion he confined his remarks, saying it was out of his jurisdiction to discuss university education in other parts of Canada. "That's very provincial of you, sir," commented Jim Harding, a lecturer from Simon Fraser University and formerly on Lakehead's faculty. Harding was one of the most effective questioners of the minister during the afternoon meeting. As the meeting ended, Harding asked the cabinet minister to stay four or five more hours. "Perhaps then we'll get down to fundamental issues," he said. Students and faculty had another chance to Moncton occupiers named sideration toward the students.

The first in this series was by Yves Hersant of the French embassy, during November. In the evening Davis was delivering a lecture and did not have to face direct questions during his presentation, only facing a short question period at the end of his address. Dr. Rideout, who thanked the minister, commented that he was happy with Davis' diction and use of words, and that he only twice used a phrase he doesn't like to hear: "You know, you know." Davis, who was accompanied at the Lakehead by the Deputy Minister of University Affairs, Edward Stewart, also visited Hammarskjold High School Thursday and faced a barrage of questions there, mostly relating to the extension of the high school year.

Friday'swalkoutwas spontaneous and completely unorganized but a pamphlet was published and plans are underway for a full-scale, organized walkout Feb 3. to protest the ten-day extension of their school year. The decision to extend the school year was made without consulting the students, and without consulting individual school administrations. Tre, students have no method of recalling such decisions, nor even an adequate method of communicating with the Ontario government. As at Lakehead 'University, the decisions of the student councils carry no weight unless accepted by their administrations and by the government. One of the first tasks of the students councils is to declare themselves autonomous from administrative controls. Lakehead University's student council carries a provision in its constitution that the ..Board of Governors of Lakehead University of Arts, Science and Technology shall have at all times and from time to time, power to repeal or revd<e this Constitution, in v.hole or in part, and to alter, modify, or set aside any decision or action of the Alma Mater Society, or the AMS Counci I, or of any officer, committee, or sul>organi zation of the Alma Mater SQciety:• This makes the AMS Counci I a farce--an organization to give students a voice, but only if that voice agrees with the adnini strati on. The situation in the high schools is similar. Only when the student councils declare and mainta.in their freedom from administrative control can they begin to make their decisions meaningful. However, when this is done, the students will still not have the power to back ~ their decisions. This is the second major task students must accomplish. They must demand real bargaining power--eventually veto power over decisions which directly affect them. Only then will the necessity for tactics such as student strikes end.

Your attempt at crucifixion. is discouragingly obvious. In your final paragraph, you claim that Art Looye COULD gain the AMS Presidency by "illegally helping Barkwell' s supporters." (How this could happen is utterly beyond me.) Furthermore, in the next sentence, you say that Looye's resignation was prompted by a desire· to look good if student opinion turned against Chief Justice Barkwell. Surely the inconsistency is apparent to you. You .say that after his resignation, Art Looye•s ·bid to replace the council with "an extremely right wing group" might look even better. I suggest that this prospect in- " actions were justified (and should not be criticized), simply because no one bothered to stop him? Further, the ..irrevocable ·inconsistency.., (irrevocable?) which you attributed to us, was actually an ·inconsistency in Looye•s actions. Looye first helped Barkwe/1' s supporters, tlrough illegal procedures as chairman, then condemned them. We merely pointed out that either he was a very incompetent chairman ( in that he did not know what he was doing), or he had some other, unknown motive for his actions. We suggested his motive might be political. By helping the Council do something unpopular, he could then criticize them ·in an attempt to gain support for the upcoming election. ---photo by Hoad A fist was entered as a snow sculpture this year.

"Indeed I am glad you inquired, ma'am -fill up her glass with chocolate milk will you bartender? -- for you are looking at a student from Fakehead who has been shafted by the administration. "Ah, look not so shocked, good woman, but take a goodly draught of the chocolate milk, it will help steady your nerves. My name is Theodore ,Thinkmore, and I have been blighted from birth with a horrible curse. My tale, or at least a good piece of it, began before I did, and that is the origin of my terrible curse." "Now as you have probably read in magazines such as BLUESWEEK, STRIFE and GRIME, the creation of another human life is an intricate, complex and beautiful process. That is, babies are found under blueberry bushes given a name, and fired off into the education system to learn how to obey. "My beginning was different. I was created in a manner most vile. I will not go into details; suffice it to say that I began life in bed with a lady, naked, and have never fully recovered from this disgusting depraved and horrendous fact. "Oh look not on me with heavy eye, fair lady, this shame I bear is not entirely my own fault. Consider my tender age - I was immature, easily led by others, I knew not what was what nor even what was not what. Yes, I was just a little sucker, moist putty in the hands of my parents. Many a million million times I have regretted the whole affair and dreamed I was like other babies, and not brought into existance in this horrible unique way. "Another chocolate milk for madam's nerves, bartender - and make this one a double. "Such an unusual problem demanded an unusual prober, so my fairy godfather was sent for. Appearing in a puff of cigar smoke (as was his wont) he took one look and threw up his hands. "Aha, a real live birth in the family, how naughty, naughty, naughty of you - and to think that something of this kind has been going on under my very nose, so to speak, for some time. "Well, well, well young fellow, you do have a novel navel, don't you? (Fairy godfathers are quite sweet fellows really). "But the rules of the game have to be followed, and I have no choice but to lay a curse on you. "And there, right in the middle of the room, with my mother and father present, in a manner I shall not describe, he laid a curse before our horrified eyes. Yes, it was at that time, stroking and thrusting a magic blond at me, he said the words that changed my life. "All decent people are found under blueberry bushes. Therefore you are not decent. Therefore you will have horrible thoughts whenever you see girls' legs. Therefore your thoughts will be led onto higher things. Therefore you must spend your whole life seeking Truth. "In a poof of fag smoke the demon disappeared. "Now I livea in the town of Broken Elbow, in a land called Saskatchewan, far, far to the west and quite removed from any hint of civilization. And also, all my parents ever read was READER'S DISGUST, and GRIME, and all they watched was American T.V. Consequently they didn't know what Truth was. "However, it didn't sound too bad, and when I came of age, at three moo tbs, I said goodbye to my dear old mother, shook my father's hand, dynamited the house, and set out into the world to make my fortune and seek some Truth. "Formanyyears I roamed the world, working in the spaghetti fields of British Columbia, hunting the long toothed pickle in Northern Manitoba, and shooting the bull about Toronto. But nowhere could I find Truth. "I drove a bull-dozer, a brown-noser, a Volkswagen, and three women mad, but nowhere could I find Truth. "I roamed around, exploring rooming houses in Toronto, Winnipeg, Vancouver and as far away as Europe ( a place off the coast of England) but nowhere could I find Truth. "Finally I was given a lucky brake from an old Red Indian, the Ancient Marooner. "Takum brake stolen from Iron Horse. Maybe givum plenty luck. Maybe not. Go to Fakehead at bottom of Lake Superior. There find plenty Truth, heh, heh, heh. "Fakehead I learned, was the most fan• tasticplace in the whole world. It was so large they were forced to make two cities out of it, and was so rich in administrative organisms that the streets were paved with mould. In fact, so many people wanted to move to Fakehead they were forced to build a Halitosis factory there. "That is why only the toughest, purest, finest people can live in Fakehead. "Once in Fakehead, I attached myself to a young innocent-eyed type with books and and went up Ovulation Rd. with her to the University. You could tell it was University because the whole area was lit up with Truth. "Once inside, I stood in awe as tall bronzed youths, eyes burning with desire for knowledge, and beautiful girls, eyes also burning with desire, rushed past in their frantic rush to get to classes and catch the pearls of wisdom said to be given out by professors. "I went to Aarrgg!, the student newspaper that came out weakly, to ask where the University kept their Truth. "The Aarrgg! staff, strange creatures, each with a large green moustache, except for the men, who were bald, rushed up and tried to push me out. "Perhaps he brings bad news," said one. "Perhaps he brings good news," said another. "But if he brings any news," they said all together, "we don't want him in here!" "And they hur~ed me bodi_ly from the offi~e. "Realizing this was their way of showing affection, (and all newspaper men are affected to some degree) I persisted and gained entrance. "They were gathered around an enormous tub, which was filled with a vile red liquid and labled "Whynne" on one side, and "Whynnot?" on the other. "This is our objectivity fluid," explained the editor, When we feel w~ are not reporting the news up to our normal standards, we drink this and soon all is back to our normal level of objectivity." "If this were true they were the most objective crew under the sun. Two of them were so objective they couldn't move. "Where does the University keep all its Truth?" I asked. "Truth?" They screamed, falling into a heap writhing in the middle of the room. "No Truth shall ever see · the pages of the Aarrgg! If we ever told the Truth of what goes on in the AMS people wouldn't believe us! Get thee to the Administration." • "Of course! It all added up! ''Why was the road paved just up to the administration parking lot? Wh did the admini- stration parking lot have power constantly instead of 50% of the time like the rest of the University? Why did administration offices have new IBM typewriters and all the desk lights and fans you can think of • and the rest of the University hardly any at all? "Obviously the administration held all the Truth in the University. I spoke to an administrator, a tall fine fellow, calm of hand and stem of eye, and he ushered me into his office "So you want Truth, eh? Well I'll give you some - you may kneel there and address me as Uncle Charlie." "I kneeled, and indeed, the carpet was soft and thick and good for kneeling. "You might think that because the students are the largest part of the University, because University is set up for the purpose of providing them with knowledge, and because it is their lives that are being moulded, that they would have a large say in what is being done here, wouldn't you? "I admitted that at first glance it did seem that way. "Well that is wrong. The administration is the most important part of the University. That is why when the decision was made to have exams after Xmas, and then re-made, the students were not consulted. That is why students and faculty, against their interest, will be forced to put up with larger classes next year. And that is why we will not allow students to have any say in the decisions that affect them." "Because this University belongs to the Administration, dig it." "Now get out." "Well, there was no escaping the logic of his words. I was instantly won over to his position by the sheer overwhelming reason with which he presented his ·case. And yet .•• a certain doubt remained. . . for suddenly, as soon as I had accepted his basic premises, I felt a sharp pain in my chest, looked down, and yes - I had been shafted. So I wandered over to the Aarrgg! again, to have another word with the vile creatures there and. . . . " At this point the intrepid shafted Truthseeker noticed that his long-haired listener was no longer listening. She had passed out cold and fallen to the floor, arms and legs and breasts and belly-button all pointing skyward in the classical pose of one stoned on chocolate milk. "Kindly fill my flask with the brownish brew, bartender, and I shall see this young lady safely home. No, no, no need to help me, I can lift her off the floor myself, thank you. You see this is really .part of my cursed education, for the people at the Aarrgg! told me I could only find Truth if I picked up a fallen woman in a bar and took her home to bed."

He noted it was around this time Castro had won power in Cuba and announced that his revolution would take a socialist course. The fear then was "Guyana was going to be a setond Cuba and Jagan a second Castro." This, he said, generated some measure of hysteria in the United States. Kennedy pressured Macmillan government not to grant independence to Guyana and to change their electoral system. "The British could not easily succumb to this kind of pressure in view of the commitment made in the 1960 conference, where it wasagreedthat whoever won the 1961 elections would becane P-rime Minister and lead the country into independence. So something had to haJ!pen at home to give them the excuse ... and this is where the C.I.A. came in ... - The CIA in Guyana The Christian anti-communist crusade in Guyana admitted spending 45,000 U.S. dollars at the 1961 elections. Riots, disturbances and strikes flared up over the country. Newspapers carried such headlines as "C.I.A. is linked with strikes that helped oust Jagan" (New York Times); "How the C.I.A. got rid of J agan" and "Macmillan, Sandys back C.I. A.'s anti-Jagan plot" (London Sunday Times). J agan produced facts and documents to" tell the story of the conspiracy to get rid of my IJ)ve mment and install a Burnham government in office in 1964," Deterioration -photo by Roblin by Winston Rennie ...,. I prepared a four-pa~ interview, and there was nothing in it he did not talk about in his speech. This is the man: Dr. Cheddi Jagan one-time Prime Minister of Guyana.now leader of the opposition party of that country. Jagan faced a crowded room 1029 at Lakehead University last Monday and spoke of third-world countries, western exploitation, the C.I.A., rigged elections, Marxism and Socialism. At the end of his talk he was given a standing ovation that thundered with apprec• iation and understanding. Jagan's dynamic appeal as a public speaker is fantastic. He speaks with the people rather than to them. Everyone becomes involved in what he has to say, because it is so easy to identify oneself with the solid images he postulates. J agan came to Canada mainly to attend a seminar m Latin America, sponsored by the lntematimal Students• Conference, at the University of Manitoba. He was invited to speak at the Lakehead by the West Indian Association and the Sociology-Anthropology club. "For a small country we certainly make a lot of noise." "Guyana,,. however, "is unique in the sense that it is the first country in the world where a left-wing. party dubbed communist has not only been able to win elections but continues to battle our masters and win elections if they are free and fair... Jagan's Peoples Progressive Party, founded in 1950, won the first election in 195,. At that time race was not a detrimental factor as it appears today in the country's politics. He said, "we succeeded in uniting the two major race groups in the country."" His party was accused of being communistic, and this resulted in the coming of British battleships and the dismissal of the ministers and the constitution. A split, he said, was then engineered -in his party between Forbes Burnham, the present Prime Minister, and himself. He pointed out that the split was an opportunistic one and not racial. Underdeveloped loyalties caused some of his Afro-Guyanese supporters to move over to Burnham. This appeared racial, and has plagued the country's politics since then. Jagan's party, the P.P.P., won the 1957 elections. Burnham then formed the Peoples• National Congress, but again lost the 1961 elections. J agan accused Burnham of teaming up with theAmer.icans after losing this election and indicated this as the starting point of trouble for his country. Americanism Jagan sees Guyana as a microcosm of the world's problems today and feels that they will continue to make noise. He described his country as being "thiro world"", pointing out that Guyana's problems are not unique but can be found in countries all over the world. Jagan used an excerpt from the book "A Thousand Days • J.F.K. in the White House" to prove his point that the change in the electoral system in Guyana for the 1964 elec- Now, said Jagan, the Government is losing support. 11ie people have become terribly disillusioned. He showed this as evidenced in three forms:(1) Exodus from the country. (2) Record number of strikes which has now forced the government to contemplate the enactment of anti-strike legislation. (3) "Choke and Rob'" - the increasing incidents of crime and delinquency. The people were made to feel that all they had to do was get rid of the P. P .P. and milk and honey will flow in the streets." Glorified pictures of the future were painted in manifestos, one of which was called "Highways to Happiness" now being termed by the people "Highways to Misery". Jagan went on to give statistical proof of the general wave of deterioration across the country since the P.N.C. took over in 1964 as compared with the previous seven years of P.P.P. rule. He noted that especially the economic situation of the people has and still is IJ)ing downhill. Massive Fraud Concerning the '68 elections, he said, the government was forced to resort to "massive fraud" to win. The first thing done was the registration of about 68,000 Guyanese abroad. The elections Commission, designed to super• vise the conduct of elections, was not in• volved in this exercise. The government announced that all they were doing was a nation• al registration of all Guyanese and not the making of a voters list. Their actions, however, were simply made legal by a bill introduced later. J agan pointed out that since the elections, surveys were carried out that showed these lists to be padded with fictitious names, names of dead people, non-existing addresses. �argus, jmusy 30, 1989, page 7 1h is famous, but Dr. Jagan is notorious•• The government secured 97% of these votes one fifth of the voting public, by postal votin~. He described the whole process as fraudulent. The local voting lists, he pointed out, increased between 1964 and 1968 by 21 %. He compared this with the 19% increase during 1953 to 1964 and remarked "Guyanese are known to be prolific, but not that prolific." With a village by village breakdown of statistics, he showed how the voters lists were manipulated. Another tactic used was the issuing of a massive number of proxies. Jaganconcludedonthis point by saying "the government would not have won the election had it not been the resort to this kind of fraud. They do not really speak for the majority of people in Guyana." Venezuela Jagan indicated that the Venezuelan claim to Guyana's lands has been dormant for many years. In 1958, he led an official goodwill mission to Venezuala. At that time all the political parties in Venezuala decided neither to renounce nor raise the claim. But 1960 saw a change in the new governments policy towards Cuba. They became anti-Castro. The Americans were soon able to influence them to resurrect the claim against Guyana. The Venezuelian government was given facility to historical records in the foreign offices in London. They found nothing. Jagan sees the rebirth of this issue as de• liberate attempts to create border difficulties and problems in his country if the P.P.P. won, or against any government that may try to ' take a progressive course in Guyana. The future "Now Guyana is moving out of the orbit of British-type institutions and our politics, culture and economy are rapidly becoming LatinAmericanized." As Jagan sees it, Guyana is headed for .a Latin American type of dictatorship. Fraud, he, says has put and keeps the Burnham government in power, but not even this will help them in the future . In Guyana as in the West Indies economic development is based on the Puerto Rican model, which recognizes the need for capital and the fact that capital is short in these thirdworld cwntries. The aim therefore has been to create an ''investment climate to encourage capital inflow." Tax holidays and other concessions developed competitively among the countries. This, he stated, resulted in a perpetual drain of profits from these countnes. He gave effective statistics to show that the real problem of the third-world countries is not the shortage of capital, but rather the fantastic outflow of capital. The capitalists come in, demand these concessions and freedom of movement, thus forcing the countries to resort to large-sized loans. Worse still, the loans are not directed towards productive investments, but towards other things that bring little or no substantial returns so that the burden of paying back the loans is borne by the consumers in the form of heavy taxation. When the limit of this taxation is reached . the services to the people are cut down. "The working people are therefore hard-whipped in these countries." Jagan used India as a canparison to show that because of this Puerto Rican model of economic development, the position of these countries is bound to d~teriorate. The people he said, are fooled into behevmg the position of the country to be due to their laziness and unwillingness to work. Burnham's new slogan is "eat less, sleep less and work harder." Jagan sees the need for exploited peoples not only to fight on the "economic front, for bread and butter issues, but also on the ideo• logical front, especially in the case of Guyana where race and religion plays an important role in politics." "This means scientific socialism or Marxism." The people, he feels, must know that the the positionof the country is deteriorating, why this is so and what needs to be done to go forward progressively. This is a necessity for all present third-world countries. Jagan concluded by saying that if America"s counter-revolutionary tactics are to be thwarted political parties must be disciplined, and musi have an _u nderstandingof economic development, and this means a close study of marxism• :rhrou~out his speech Dr. Jagan showed a sohd behef that the most important aspect of the forward movement is the people, and not whether the take-over is peaceful or armed. The masses must be educated - they must understand the situation and their solidity of support must be the basis of operation. He showed this as the reason for the North Vietnamese and_ Viet Cong successes today. To the accusation that he seems to be leaning in the direction of peaceful means of take-over, he answered "It is not what I think but what the people think ... this is important." A comment: the Left and the Right So Cheddi Jagan is a socialista Marxist. His concern is with the poor and exploited peoples. The internationally known political figure, on his way to attend a conference at Manitoba, is invited to speak at L.U. by a group of students. He readily accepts this because he recognizes the probl ems of the students on campuses to be of the same nature as what he faces in Guyana, and what the W>rld faces today; and any opportunity he sees to educate the masses on current world situations, he holds on to. This is one stage in the birth of social revolution in the Western world. The ppsitioned bourgeois at L.U. sitthere, clean, neatly dressed and cross-legged awaiting his arrival. With mocking smiles they neet and greet him, then proceed to the faculty lounge where a sumptuous dinner is consurred and the friwlties of life discussed. This is part of their survival t~hnique social convening, ceremonies and di splay deliberately designed to cloud the real issues of the people from the peoples' minds. So at 1029 where Dr. Jagan speaks they are conspicuously absent. But this is not surprising. Exposition is the only weapon that can and wi 11 cut down what they represent. They have no armour that can protect them against such a weapon and to attend, together with the, students, a talk given by a man as Dr. Jagan, is to set themselves up for the blow. So they discreetly stay clear of it. But let them. No matter. The room was packed with those who wanted to hear real issues of our time. The seeds are being sown and wi II inevitably grow. Within the same week, William Davis, Minister of Education for Ontario, comes to LU. to speak. Healthy looking, well dressed and beaming with pride he stands there - the typical representative of the exploiting bourgeois. So of course our local bourgeois are present. This is their thing. Flowery, padded and meaningless speeches are made, painting a glorious picture of their man as he who is cbing so much towards progress that we down here should be thankful for. "Shrewd politician" is more descriptive of Davis than "Minister of Education". He softens the blow of exposition by establishing from the outstart that they recognize there is still a lot to be done, that they kn ON they have not yet reached perfection ( as if this is possible) and that we should bear with them and realize they are conscientiously trying to better the whole situation. But as is typical of the bour- geous exploiting class the false and brilliantly dazzling gold is displayed in the left hand and as the people gawk at it, the right is used to snatch the real and valuable gold from the people's loosened fingers. The first four rows of seats in the central section of the auditorium are reserved. Seats in the auditorium reserved, when the subject matter of the talk, as we are made to believe, is so relevant to the students who are in the majority? More than this, the blue coated men are there. Blue coats are ifll)osing. They signify the strong arm and protecti ve representatives of society's bourgeois. Their presence is psychologically depressing on the mind. Another shrewd tactic to force people into submission. - Winston Rennie �argus, january 30, 1969, page 8 The Myth afthe Normal ••• reach •• involve �agua, ja,uary 30, 1969, page 9 the black sturgeon river snakes swift and slices down in and through the rock shield empties itself automatically into a remote bay in lake superior Aman ran into a crowd to hide his face of shame. several hundred miles upstream its just a trickle running from the height of land from where if you tum around you see across icy lake nipigon A boy walked into a bar his childhood to disclaim. the indian trapper skinaway whose father died on an innocent tributary tried to tell me once that it was all irrelevant but he also believed that the ground on which you're sitting was created by a frog anyway The boy looked and saw a crowd; inside the crowd, a man.

Hardly a chance at a broken arm or a cracked skull was missed and the team from the Ii ttle community of Bemidji set a goodexample for the Lakehead metro.polis. The SAS is due for some credit for its part in organizing the show. The field house could undoubtedly be put to much more use for such events, with student support. Unfortunately, there were few records of the even ts available to the Argus, but someone recalled the score of the girls vs guys basketball game as 24-20, for the girls.

'N h l· r- COOCH'S CORNER by Larry Hebert 0 s e rt Well, Winter Carnival is gone for another year, and this year's SAS Sports Day was definately more of a success than last year's. Broomhall on Sports Day was good, except for some bad weather and some bad organization by yours truly. The Faculty team won by default over defending champs Arts 11,III, & IV. Arts had played two games in a row and just could not hack another game. Faculty has consented to a challenge sometime later in the week from Arts II, III, & IV. The girls broomball champs were the Cheerleaders, who won a squeaker over Nursing Degree I, on a goal by Lois "Boom Boom" Logozzo. Logozzo also picked up the only penalty of the game, a rouging call at 19:21. The Cheerleaders received strong defensive efforts from Donna MacDonald, LynnBonnett and Joanne "Gump" Petit. Maureen "Rocket" Love and Maureen "Pocket" McCormick showed strongly for the Degree Nurses I. In the girls hockey game Nursing Degree I turned the tables on the Cheerleaders and came up with a 2-1 win. With the outstanding effort in participation put forth by girls during Winter Cami val it looks as though we do have some female athletes at the school. The first year Nursing Degree \ students would like to know where their older sisters are. (Nursing Degree II & III). There was some talk about reforming the gym club and meeting at a new time after the gym show put on by the Bemidji State team. Athletic Night seemed to be a success as a whole with the Karate demonstration being outstanding. Moe McGarrigle, a brown belt Karate expert wants to remind students (and administration in case of student riots) of the self-defense course held every Saturday at noon in the field house. The new trophy in the show case at the athletic building was added by the girls volleyball team after they captured the runnerup spot in the Hibbing Invitational Tournament. Rumour has it that the basketball team will be playing the Harlem Globetrotters here late in February. 40 MILES PER GALLON OF GAS RENAULT (Also Used Cars Small and Large) THE NAME YOU CAN TRUST 1 r 1 available at RED WING MOTORS AUTHORIZED RENAULT DEALER Cor.

Saturday's game was marked by 16 penalties, ten of which went to the Nor'Westers, but Sunday's game was the rougher of the two al though only 13 penalties were handed out. Saturday afternoon, at the Fort William Gardens, the game started fast with both teams ready for the encounter. The first period saw the Lakehead squad keeping the pressure on the Bemidji goal. It finally paid off at the 4:52 point, when John Kennedy scored for the Nor'Westers, with teammates Don Ostaff and Denis Laliberte assisting. But the Nor'Westers relaxed a little too soon and the Bemidji Beavers saw quick revenge twenty-three seconds later when Lamieux put one past the Lakehead goalie. The first eight or nine minutes of the second period was Bemidji time and if it hadn't been for the goal-tending ability of Gordie Bishop, the Beavers would have made good the many scoring chances they had. The Beavers managed to keep the L.U. squad bottled up in their own end with hard forechecking and excellent passing. The Nor' Westers made a few pushes but fell back to lazy playing the remainder of the period. The third period was completely different as the L.U. team came out strong. Three breakaway goals gave the game to the Nor'Westers. The first came at the 8:30 mark when the Nor'Westers were short-handed. Tapak made it count, assisted by Jim Pronger. The second goal followed at 11 :36 by Dwight Stirrett, assisted by Rick Poetto and Munay Smith. ATKIN88~8 JEWEI.LEIIS ~Artearvetl A Blae•trta~ C Concordia vainly tried to score with a long shot having only seconds showing but the ball bounced harmlessly off the rim. The final score was 85-83 for the Nor'Westers. The Nor'Westers played a terrific game against what is classed as one of the stiffest opponents they are likely to meet this season. Defensively they played close and hard and moved the ball into the Comets zone on offense. Phil Fury and Humphreys led the scoring category with 24 points each. Fury played excellent ball. Dan Carroll followed with 23 points and lead rebounds with 19 points. Schleicher led both clubs with 28 points for the Comets. The Nor'Westers shot 45. 7% from the field while Concordia hit a little better with 46.1 %. From the line the Nor'Westers had 61.3% compared to a 59.2% shooting average for Concordia. Saturday promised to be a repeat of Friday's game early in the evening. The half-time score, as on Friday, was 45-40 in favour of the Nor'Westers, but the Comets fought strongly and managed to capture the lead. The gap between the two clubs, however, wasn't usually more than two or three points. The Lakehead defense was excellent and, consequently, the Comets were forced to shoot more from the outside, which they did so very effectively. The teams displayed excellent sportsmanship and ~LKE THE HOME OF THE BRANDS 413 VICTORIA AVE. FORT WILLIAM Ths Fashion Store for Ths Style Conscious Studer,t Stirrett scored again for the Nor'Westers with only 40 seconds left in the game. Poetto and Dave Siciliano assisted. The final score was 4-1 for the Nor'Westers. On Sunday the Nor'Westers came out fast and hard but seemed to have forgotten positional hockey. Siciliano, assisted by Smith, opened the scoring in the first period, but the Beavers banged in two quick goals at 3:20 and 3:38 to take the lead 2-1. Bemidji counted another one before Dave Nuttall scored at 11 :51 to close the first period with a score of 3-2. Once again the second period was slower as the Beavers tied up the Nor' Westers in their own end, but due to excellent goaltending and defensive play, were unable to score. The third period started similarto Saturday's with LU. coming out hard and fast. But it wasn't enough as Bemidji slammed in five unanswered goals before the Nor'Westers managed to hit the scoreboard in that period. • Smith and Siciliano counted two to make the final score 8-4. This weekend the Nor'Westers play host to the St. Cloud State Huskies. In their last encounter the Nor'Westers took a double victory from the Huskies. Game time at the Port Arthur Arena is 8:00 p.m. Saturday and I :00 p.m. Sunday. �agus, january 30, 1989, page 12 "A great university is always enlisted against the spread of illusion and on the side of reality" -John F.

The first two paragraphs imply a dynamic scope, and a booming expansion which may have escaped many of us.

The Hardy report on the controversial amalgamation of the two cities defines tte, Lakehead as a .. slow growth area:•. Indeed, the .. gripping expansion .. may be strangling us.

The announcement came Sunday evening from the committee of high school students set up earlier to keep students infonned of any happenings concerning the proposed walkout. A meeting scheduled for Sunday in Westminster Church was cancelled by the Minister of the church as he feared there might be some trouble. The meeting was planned as a meansof bringing all interested people together to plan the walk-out for the next day. As it turned out nobody came but the police, who waited hiding behind a snowbank. The committee had previously published a pamphlet out• lining their proposals for improving the high school system. They said that stu- dents must have freedom to participate in their own education, and that teachers should be academic resources, instead of authorities. As far as the Student Council they felt that the administration should have no veto power over the elections or the functioning of the Student Council. They also felt that candidates should have freedo~ to question educational policies, and their grade requirements should be removed. The committee suggested that students have the right to organize their own unions. Finally they said that the school year must not be ex• tended as no adequate explanation for the extension has been given. The committee was organized at a meeting the previous Tuesday at Lakehead University. The meeting was attended by some 70 interested students. Also present at the meeting was Ted Richmond, an Ontario field worker for the Canadian Union of Students. In addressing the meeting he said "Highschool students are being discriminated against because they are powerless, and students have found that the only way that they are going to get some recognition is to take some sort of definite action." "You need support from the community. You must convince them that you aren't wasting the taxpayers' money.•• He referred to a statement issued by The Ontario Union of Students concerning the extention of the high school year. The statement says• 'The school extension is an attempt by the Ontario Government to combat the problem of increasing unemployment." It supported this by saying that the government is interested in maintaining "relatively full employment", and one of the main functions of schools is to keep students out of the labour market. It blamed the unemployment problem on automation and stagnation. In explaining the govemment' s action the statement said "So they (the government) lengthened the school year because high school students constitute unskilled labour and high school students are politically powerless." It added, "Professor John ~~ v~~National --:2:::::7'- Rowtree of York. University estimates that the ten-day extension is equivalent to the elimination of about l0,000 man- hours of jobs in Ontario that would have been held by high school students hut are not in large part available to the rising pool of the unemployed. These 10,000 manhours potentially reduce the number of unemployed in Ontario by 8 • 10% and the unemployed rate by .S - .4%. Imagine what a year-round school operation would do for unemployment!" A teacher from Hillcrest High School (the only teacher present at the meeting) agreed that the extension of the school year will interfere with the teaching staff, as many must be on courses by July I. "I feel that this is definitely an issue. However, a greater issue is the quality of education. This, however, can be resolved from within the school environment." The meeting then broke up into private discussions among students from each high school. They ended by choosing members from each school to make up the committee. Al though there had been rumors of a wallc.-out in the Lakehead in February as part of a province-wide protest of the extension of the school year by the Minister of Education, nothing definite happened until the Lakeview students walked out of classes two weeks ago, supported by stu• dents from other Port Arthur high schools. Perhaps Police Chief Onni Hardy's threat to arrest stu• dents who "trespass" at other schools has cooled the walkouts.

E Black occupation MONTREAL (CUP) -· Black students involved in the computer centre occupation at Sir George Williams University Thursday (Jan. 30) issued the following statement: "The occupation of the computer centre of Sir George Williams University, Montreal, Canada, was effected with lightning and · clock work precision on Wednesday, January 29. This decisive move was motivated by the university's totalitarian and arbitrary methods of dealing with charges of racial discrimina tion and incompetence made by six black Caribbean students against one Professor P. Anderson of the biology department of the said university. "The black students have consistently and unswervingly held their ground with a rev- olutionary integrity and orientation never before witnessed on any Canadian university campus. , "We vow to prolong this just occupation of this vital nerve cent~e of the university until justice is properly meted out to us and the whole student community which is also affected by the· unjversally lc.nown rigidity of all university hierarchies." "We extend our solidarity to the students of Simon Fraser University in British Columbia Canada, who are also courageously combatting the status quo." "We also militantly extend our fraternal solidarity with the struggle of black people everywhere for we are historically linked in the struggle to give birth to the new society that is making its way out of the womb of the old. Residence: an exercise in democracy by John MacGregor What is new, has trouble with toilet paper and is democratically controlled? Lakehead's New Residences, that's what. The New Re-sidences, a ~prawling complex just built this year on the southern side of the campus, eventually to !10use 480 people, is home to 138 students this year. Most of them think it's a pretty good place to live, especially since the administration hasn't imposed any rules of conduct on them. Any rules governing conduct are voted in by the students themselves. "Dean Kerr said he wanted the New Residences to look after themselves," said Hugh Cameron, chainnan of the New Residence Council. Up to a point, that's exactly what they do. Each of the three houses has three floors (about 16 people) which set their own rules and regulations. If the students decide they want noise laws to help studying, they vote them in. If they want no rules at all (as the whole 'C' house did) then there are no rules at all. "What do we need rules for?" said Rick Todd, Arts I, a resident of •c• house. "They just provide an excuse for fascist-types to punish people with some kind of popular support. If there is any hassle we straighten it out ourselves • that's the best way anyway, isn't it?" But still there are problems with the administration. "The old residence has stereos, televisions and other amenities laid on by the administration," said Cameron. "We've had to buy our own and we've accepted that without complaint hut there are some thtngs we really need. Like first-aid kits, a few more cleaning staff •· and we're still waiting.for the first telephone to be installed. The guys are getting pretty tired of being told the administration is "working" on the problem." The administration is "working" on quite a few problems. Some of the troubles are built-in, and cannot be easily changed in the finished buildings. But there is no need to build them into the next seven houses. The administration refuses to change the plans on even the worst points. "The wash basins are all about a foot too low, and when you bend down to wash your face you smash yourhead against a sharp metal shelf cunningly put there by the architecL You can always tell New Residence people, they have a thin red crease in their foreheads," says Doug Smart, Arts 11. " ,What we need is students on the building committee, now. Then these stupid minor mistakes won't he built into the other houses." Complaints about the building would half fill the Argus; there are too many to talk ahout. No soundproofing, lunatic heating, no ventilation and cement that crumbles under a stem glance. The clocks, to many residents, symbolizes the administration's attitude towards the new building. They're beautiful, and they're in• stalled, but they've never worked. One small problem really rubs the students the wrong way • the harsh toilet paper. They want rolled stuff instead of institutional squares. "We feel", said one student, "that the administration should rectify the situation." �argus, february 6, 1969, page 2 This week. • • THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 6 Psychology Club Meeting - Room 023 - 9 a.m. Senate Graduate Studies Committee Meeting • Board Room• 10 p.m. Mind and Brain Panel Discussion - Room 023 - 8:45 p.m. Spanish Dancing - Room 1006 - 9 p.m. FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 7 Cambrian Players Rehearsal - Auditorium - 7 p.m. AMS Dance - Great Hall - 9 p.m. SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 8 Karate Lessons - Fieldhouse - 12:30 p.m. Cambrian Players Rehearsal - Auditorium - 7 p.m. Engineering Stag - Great Hall - 8 p.m. SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 9 Drama Club Children's Theatre - Auditorium - 9 a.m. Cambrian Players Rehearsal - Auditorium - 7 p.Jll.

JOBI WAYNE ~, KATHARDlE ROSS l•t :.r! ~J;;~} Mikado draws full house .7/EllFIGBTERSoo · ,•;;:::''\f'">, A UNIVERSAL PICTURE• TECHNICOLOR•• PANAVISION• The Lakehead Choral Group's recent production of the "Mikado" was quite a credit to the troupe. The well-worn Gilbert and Sullivan production was presented with much freshness and originality, and, in general, the quality of the singing and acting was quite high. Unfortunately, there were two noticeable errors in the casting. Harry Kirk, who' played Nanki-Po, has an excellent voice, but is rather inhibited in his acting and always falls out of character the moment the audience's attention is directed elsewhere on stage, giving the impression that he is only listening for cues instead of living his part. Frida Maunder, as Katisha, played her part very well, although it did take her a few minutes to work into it on stage. This part requires a very strong Contralto voice and Mrs. Maunder has a lovely Mezzosoprano voice. Although her acting was good, Mrs. Maunder's "Katisha" lost some of her customary nastiness due to the sweetness of the voice singing her songs. Yum-Yum (Miss Maureen gqodgrief its candy! McMillan) and Pish Tush (Fred Dawson) had the best voices in the cast and were both more than adequate in their roles. Robert Irwin was very good as the "Mikado", but from the first row he did not appear to be made up at all. Ian McGuiness was brilliant as Pooh-Bah, but even he could not keep George Warne (Ko-Ko) from stealing the show. The facial, vocal and athletic antics of Ko-Ko led the cast in providing the audience with a first rate musical comedy. The chorus members supported the main characters very well. It is unfortunate that they were forced to compete with the noise of a dance in full swing next door in the Great Hall.

This year's assorted band of incompetents and lost souls will depart. A new group, ready, eager, almost bushy-tailed, will be elected. They will step into the positions of office, determined to do better. A secret vow will be made by all to not repeat the mistakes of the past year's council. But after the first brief flush of victory, probably by the third meeting, things won't seem to be working quite so smoothly. Confusion and misunderstandings will mount up. By the middle of the following November the differences between one year's council and the next will have disappeared. The resemblance will be complete by December. How could a group of rational human beings come so quickly to resemble something that only a short year before they despised? The reasons are complex and varied. Part of the trouble is the type of person who runs for office. Most of them are conscientious in their appearance at meetings. But throughout it all they maintain a dignified silence. They can only be relied on to stir when the roll call for vote is taken, and at the end of the meeting they can be seen hovering over the door waiting to second the motion to adjourn. For the rest of the week the AMS does not cross their minds. Committees are not voluntteered for, or if they are blackmailed into one, the meetings are not attended. And yet one week later this type of councillor returns to do his "job", mildly incensed by the latest Argus criticism. This type of representation should remain in the bush league high schools where it belongs. Another problem is the councillors' varied interpretations of the student council. For some, the basic purpose of the AMS is to program social functions. These functions have a definate place in university life (man cannot live by radicalism alone). But others justiably feel that more time should be spent on academic and social issues, since the council is the only voice student have. This conflict over purpose causes internal tensions in the AMS which must be resolved if the Council is to be an effective student voice. This lxings us back to the election. If the election is based on ideas, rather than on people, the result will give an indication of the general feelings on campus. This year candidates must carefully consider their view of the Council's purposes and make these views known, or the internal tensions in council will mount up again, and the charges that it is not representative of student opinion will again be justified. Once the new council takes office, all will not be sweetness and light. Because of the very nature of the AMS over half its time is spent in self-perpetuation. Bureaucratic paper pushing of one sort or another is necessary in any organization. But the work should not end there. Councillors must become more involved. The present lack of preliminary work before meetings makes debate over ordinary maintenance matters frustration personified. The success or failure to deal efficiently with these common matters will determine the ability of the council to act effectively on the uncommon matters which occasionally crop up. With the modesty of all good oracles, a warning is issued to the general student population. Think of the type of person you want on council. Think of the type of ideas you want represented in council policy. Think of yourself as a possible candidate. Have you done some thinking lately about yourself and your position in the university community? If some thinking isn't engaged in, you are dooming yourself to dull reading in the Argus for the next year. Do you want to read how bad Council is for another year? CUS President Peter Warrian: trying to by Kevin Peterson Canadian University Press Peter Warrian doesn't talk about the Canadian Union of Students, he talks about a student movement. And he sees his main task as putting across certain relationships to students which they may not see now •· relationships like what he sees in the movie Rosemary's Baby. "How about a film review of Rosemary's Baby in terms of liberal consciousness?" he asked Peter Allnutt, editor of CUS' national student magazine, Issue. "The just society is going to be Rosemary's Baby." Peter Warrian is president of the Canadian Union of Students. The professional media pictures and quotes him as a building-burning revolutionary who intends to knock Canadian universities down to the ground and then move on to level the rest of society in the same way. The media lies. Warrian on leadership says: "My concept of political leadership is not the leaders and the led. Leadership is describing the situation then presenting alternatives." "The student movement has always been hung up on leadership, the charismatic leader like Dutschke or Cohn-Bendit ... encouraged by the media which builds these people." For the moment, Warrian would much rather stand on a table in some university cafeteria and talk to students than lead howling masses through the streets. He doesn't <leny that someday he may be fighting in the streets, but he has no intention of doing it until Canadian students think that's what's required. When people describe Warrian sympathetically, they say he is the imag1: of the ~lean-_cui, Canadian kid •· doesn't smoke or dnnk, likes football (he still plays it occasionally) and once was a seminarian. In short, he becomes the male version of Playboy magazine's "girl next door". If you wmt to like Warrian, he's all that and more. When he speaks, he has a sincerity which, at times, becomes too much to be~ieve. He speaks in quiet tones, but the message is the sort that is supposed to come across only in revolutionary rallies. He wants CUS to take ideas to people and help them see their position: "We talked a lot at the congress about taking it to the student... when we talk about confrontation, we mean not only political confrontation but a confrontation of ideas." CUS's September congress in Guelph passed several motions condemning American imperialism in Canadian society. Warrian is convinced the student can see his position within this framework. "When I say imperialism, I have in mind a system of political domination and exploitation," Warrian says. "Students may be turned off by the word imperialism, but that's a semantic problem." "I think an examination of our situation will show we are politically dominated and economically controlled. Warrian -sees housing in similar terms. He says, "You can't deal with the question of student housing in isolation. You must start with the overall problem of housing in Canada. Again, you are going to arrive at some basic contradictions which have produced the situation." Warrian and CUS are taking things to the student with an expanded fieldwork program: four full time fieldworkers, one each in British Columbia, the Prairie provinces, Ontario and the Atlantic provinces. • If the approach proves completely successful, Warrian says, "The I year will end with mass student involvement •· the majority of students would demand theirplace in university decisionmaking and take that place firmly and clearly. The university would probably begin to oper- But, it would also have a significantly stronger moderate block which opposes the lin·e Warrian is trying to sell. Warrian is bothered by referendums on member campuses, not because of possible membership losses but because, "Theoretically a referendum is a way to bring issues to the student; in practice it doesn't. "Referendums may be valuable at the end of the year, but in the fall they re come counterproductive, abstract, organizational debates." • 'lhe major task is building a mass base for a student movement, the major thing is to educate •· by making what we have more effective. "If the conditions are there they give rise to the movement •· if they remain, the movement will flourish. We don't manufacture the issues and it is -impossible to justify CUS on those grounds." However, whether Warrian likes it or not, there are fall CUS referendums and they do have to be fought. Meanwhile, and between referendums, Warrian will be worki~ for a new sort of university. "We're sometimes slandered because it is build a student movement ate on a sort of syndicalist ( student as worker) line." But even Warrian doesn't believe in complete success. Optimistically, he says, "I think it may be possible that by the end of the year 20% to one-third of the students in Canada may be involved on a continuing day-to-day basis, with an equal number following them in crisis situations." If something near Warrian's prediction is not reached, the union may be in trouble. For the past three or four years there have been rumblings throughout Canada that "students aren't getting their money's worth from CUS" and talking to people is not going to produce easily defined financial benefits. CUS lost nine members during its congress, although three others signified their intention to join. Referendums are taking place on numerous campuses about CUS membership this year •· no one is quite sure how many •• and if more large campuses withdraw, the union could be in serious trouble. On the other hand, some universities not in CUS, most notably the University of Alberta, are also having membership referendums. If these schools decide to join the union, it would be in a much stronger financial position said we want to destroy the university." Warrian says. "In fact we are trying to give it viability and life which can only come from analysis, self-criticism and definition otherwise we become extinct like some huge grey mushy sort of dinosaur." • "Increasingly there is the feeling we will have an anti-capitalist, anti-imperialist university or no university at all." Warrian talks about the reaction from administrations to student activity calmly and cooly. NI don't think they're capable of a common approach , across the country," he says. Recently, at Brandon University and Memorial University, threats have been made to expel students for demonstrations and other activities which were deemed disruptive to university life. Warrian commented on the threat of expulsion: "A more serious error by administrations or a more beneficial act for the stu· dents as a whole couldn't be dreamed of." "There are just too many students to whom the threat of expulsion for political action is a cause for glee rather than dismay." There was a look of glee in Warrian's face when he said that. �the Senate The AMS Council is floundering in confusion and incompetence. The student body is not overly interested in the council's activities, and hence it is difficult to find competent students to run for office. Why? The student body as a whole is not made up of incompetents, as is the AMS Council. Rather, the problem is in the structure of university government, which discourages participation and encourages apathy. The Senate is the prime offender. The Senate, which decides academic policy for students, holds closed meetings, publishes extremely inadequate minutes, and sets up elaborate communication systems to channel the .. correct" information to students and junior faculty. One would think that in a university, where the emphasis is on learning and free thinking, the structure would go out out of its way to make information available to the student. Not so. Any ARGUS reporter· knows that a student looking for information must run an obstacle course of five or six offices, only to find he has been sent in a complete circle, and has learned very little. The emphasis in university government in clearly on secrecy. And the Senate expects the students to participate in this secrecy.

This is what makes it different from other centuries. Our value systems have led us to toss, carelessly o_r ~nconscio'!sly, too many tickmg bombs mto our environment for us to assume that somehow we will muddle through the explosions, as we have in the past. Why? Because this is the first century in which mari's impotence cannot save him. In previous centuries man did not have total control over Nature. He could not precipitate his total destruction. Man is now omnipotent. He can control and manipulate Nature and himself. I am pessimistic about our chances for a really human life in this cent_ury ~ecause the very manifestations of man's omnipotence which could save us are bei~g misused for our degradation 1. We have the technological capability to recreate human society. But we are paralysed because we cannot take the global political decision to use our technology for a decent h~~ end. For example, Phihp Johnson estimated in Esquire that it would cost the United States $4,000,000,000 a year for 15 years to remake New York. A lot of money. But the point Johnson was making was that we have sufficient knowledge of urban design, sufficient technological capacity to undertake the project. The problem confronted is not overwhelming; it is more or less soluble. The horror is that we have simply not decided that it is a question of life or death to make the place where civilization is forged the city, human and liveable. We know what the problems are, we are even quite good at forecasting what they will become in the 21st century (see Kahn and Weiner's The Year Two Thousand). We have thought of limited but basically sound responses to these problems. But we cannot decidein the whirlwind of changes which changes we should control. We cannot coalesce by political decisions the vague, platitudinous, almost pathetic rhetoric of concern about our future into any series of actions sustained long enough to do anything more than perpetuate bad institutions by symbolic gradualism. Why? Perhaps because we are still not used to the fact that this is a century unlike any others. Perhaps we don't have a sufficiently frightened perception that in this centruy problems permanent to our existance will need an answer or we will perish. For instance, we have always had the poor with us. We have always polluted our environment, butbecause they are permanent problems we have no sense that at a certain point they will become massive and insoluble. With such a strong sense of history, and of our past, we have no perception of time running out. Perhaps the problems so bludgeon .us with their menace that we become numb and una~le to act. We become so fnghtened by the paucity of our political decision-making grid that we are numbed and silenced. Perhaps we are incapable of responding to our self-generated crisis because our institutions of decisionmaking are so entirely administrative in their operations and in their goals. Developed nations are highly integrated systems; circuits made of four ~omponents-govemment, labour mdustry, and educational institutions. Increasingly the managers of the system understand its interrelated operation. But so complex does management become when one has a full understanding of the system that the day to day ope,;ation of the circuit prevents its strative .operations. They are coupled with the awareness of unable to handle the pro- the system's administrative (ie. the blems of today, let alone those disfunctionalism of tomorrow.

Yet revolution may be im- of the population have a managers from evaluating where the system should be oriented. The goal of the system is administration, efficiency. The input of any goal more extensive than mere maintainance of the circuit • is discouraged because the managers have a clear idea of the drastic, disfunctional effects of unprog rammed inputs in a highly interrelated circuit. The thinkers in the circuit, the learning industry of universities, research institutes, consultants etc. are freed from administration of the system and thus have the detachment and the time to formulate long term goals for the system. But they are marginated because of their detachment. They cannot induce action in the system because action is the business of the managers who have limited goals of maintenance not revolution. Our existmg institutions not only have no value-sense but they are increasingly disfunctional, even as admini- possible. Revolution occurs when elements of the administrative system become demonstrably disfunctional to the people at large. Thus the question of whether a revolution in Canada is possible is not answered by saying that radicals across the country are busy outlining an ideology and a strategy for that revo1ution. Revolution will become possible when ordinary people decide that the system is not realizing the goals it has set for itself. For example, in postAugust Chicago millions of Americans, radicals or otherwise, decided that the American political system was no longer functional in teems of the goals set for it by the mythologies of Jefferson, Lincoln, Hamilton etc. The system was no loriger effectively representing the policy and personality alternatives called for by the people (or a significant minority of the people). That realization sense as our French and Russian ancestors did, that their total system is disfunctional, a total revolution will not be possible. Why do we have no sense of total disfunction? Because one component of the system is stunningly efficient at meeting its self-set saals: Industry. Industry is the - one institution which is a continual state of revolution. Because it has set non-human, limited goals (the provision of goods and services to people), and because it is staggeringly successful at ingesting technological change, it can appear functional to the citizens. People feel that the system is operative because they can get what they want: consumer goods, rapid transportation and communication. And disfunction in government does not visibly impinge upon industry's efficiency. Even when the black men bum the block, the liquor store soon opens up again. Obviously there are numer- ous disfunctional elements in the industrial system: needless unemployment, needless poverty. But these disfunctional elements are not sufficient to cause a sense of total ~sfunction. Unlike conditions m _France ~r Russi~ prior to theu rev?luuons, most ordinary people m the North Atlantic trian~le can still get bread, clothmg and consumer equipment. And many of them feel that the system is just, is good, not because of government commitment to justice but because the industrial s~stem seems able to supply goods and services more efficiently than ever before. The industrial system has of course, a major social and ~~an di~function in that it is mcreasmgly inhuman. The modem Infemois the sterilized _quie~y humming bottling plant i~ which men and women spend eight hours a day dressed in white, linen pressing buttons which somehow, somewhere produce COKE after COKE after COKE ... Yet the ordinary people's senseofbecoming dehumanized electrons in an administrative circuit is not likely to make them revolutionary. Dehumanization robs the will of anger and the sense of private personal deprivation which makes men revolt. Dehumanization is numbing: it is not revolution-causing. Thus, revolution will only occur in the developed world when the industrial system ceases to produce sufficient g?Ods and services to con~m~e people that their society is Just and functioning. That might occur if we had a more serious financial dislocation than the one in February and March !lf last year. It might occur m the acutely difficult period of a<ijustment after the end of the Vietnam War. This latter possibility is less likely since a disfunctional, troubled government will not want to cause industrial disfunction by reducing defence contracts or by encouraging the re-tooling of the defence industry to civil uses. Though total revolution in impossible (1 mean the kind of revolution -which could set up a completely new order to administer global schemes for salvagingthe century) sporadic but increasing violence and chaos is extremely likely. As we stand today post-Columbia post-Paris, post-Watts we se; a different apocalypse than that seen by George Orwell in 1945. We see not 1984 and a rigidly organized, totalitarian world authority. Instead, a world of steadily disintegrating administrative sys terns flailed by chaotic but massive acts of revolt and violence, and flailing back at the dissidents with steadily more repressive but less effective tactics. 11ie vision is heartening to- the true believer. But while the system collapses the population bomb will still tick, the hunger and death will continue, and ecological rape will remain. The big problems will become still more desperate. �-- - - - - - argus, february 6, 1969, page 6 Two basketball wins -photo by Acri The Nor'Westers raised their basketball standing to eleven wins and eight losses last weekend with two big wins over the Hibbing State Cardinals. Friday's game gave Lakehead a hard-fought 78-75 vict• ory. The game's action began with a quick scoring play by Humphreys and Jerks. The passing was excellent, and despite early rebounding difficulties, the defense was good. Half-time saw the Nor' Westers with a 41-27 lead. The Cardinals had some beautiful inside moves, doing everything but putting the ball through the hoop. But a change of tactics had them hitting well from the corners and top of the key, narrowing the lead to 8 points. With five and a half minutes remaining in the game the Cardinals were within four points of the leading Nor' Westers. Then, with the clock showing 3:23, the Lakehead team began ball-freeze control. A frenzied crowd watched anxiously ~s the Nor'Westers missed shot after shot from the free throw line. With three seconds left it appeared to be a 78·73 victory but a long desperation shot from center court found its way through the hoop to give the Cardinals two more points. Dan Carroll broke his own rebounding record with 24 and led the scoring with 18 points. Jerks and Humphreys followed with 17 and 14 points respectively. Russ led for the Cardinals with 18 points and 18 rebounds. The Nor'Westers shot 33% from the floor and 64. 7% from the line while the cards hit 39% from the floor and 43% from the line. A good crowd witnessed the second game on Saturday afternoon. Lloyd Koski started m place of Willie Jerks. The Nor'Westers seemed to be in trouble from the start and the Cards' Russ (43) proved dangerous under the Nor' Wester basket. At quarter time· the Cards held a 7 point lead and it was not until the clock showed 6:05 that the Nor'Westers took a 29-28 lead. By the half they lecl 45-40, foul shots playing a large part in the scoring. The second half saw the Nor'Westers shooting better but they were still not playing as a team, the scoring coming in quick rallies. By the third quarter they led 67-53. With only 6:00 left in the game the Nor'Westers began a ball freeze. By the time the clock showed 5:30, Carroll, Holmstrom and Humphreys had all fouled out and a minute later Fury, too, had left the floor. The second string did an admirable job of holding off th« Cardinals, Cameron coming up with two big ones at 3:27. With a 76-65 lead, the Nor' Westers again began a ball freeze. There were a few tense moments but the clock ran out showing an 84-76 win for the Nor'Westers. The Nor'Westers shot 42% from the field and 55% from the line; the Cardinals shot 32.5% from the field and 49.6% from the line. Dan Carroll again topped both categories with 23 points and 22 rebounds, followed by Fury with 20 points and 14 rebounds. Russ led for Hibbing with 32 points and 14 rebounds. Final score again: 84-76. -photo by Angus Phil Fury (44) reaches. Double victQry for girls The boys were not the only ones to show their worth in basketball last weekend. Our girls basketball team played host to the Hibbing State College Girls Basketball Team, and took a double victory. Friday night the girls took a 37-16 win from their competitors, although it was a little difficult for the girls to adjust to the unfamiliar American rules. Glenis Holmes was the top scorer with 12 points. She was followed by teammates Judy Perlin with six points, and Maritta Rickstein and Jackie Turner hitting five each. Saturday the girls won again 42-22. Glenis Holmes was high scorer a ain with 16 points, followed by Judy Perlin and Jackie Turner hitting 7 each, and Linda Thomas with five.
