Grad rips diploma, blasts education

TORONTO (Staff)--“1 feel cheated”, said Ken Stone as he tore his honors poli-sci and economics degree at the Uni- ver si ty of Toron to convocation Friday.

The Ontario Union of Students vicepresident had returned to the stage with his diploma after the arts degrees had been con- ferred.

The ushers struggled to remove him but John Sword acting president gave in to cries Of “Let

him speak” and allowed Stone to use the microphones.

He then told the graduating students he thought his four university years had been meaning- less. Many reacted with booing but were stopped by Sword who told them to allow Stone the two minutes necessary to finish.

When noise quickly subsided, Stone shouted, ‘ ‘ Fellow nigger s, see what Mr. Charlie’s done to your minds?”

The remark was made in refer- rence to an article by Jerry Farber titled ‘The student as nigger’ in which Farber com- pares the student to slaves of an authoritarian university structure.

He then tore his diploma in half and left the hall.

Stone later explained his di s- taste for the education system. “It is directed toward the social- ization of the student and not toward human development.” He said there should be less emphasis on memorization of facts and more emphasis on inter- personal relationships.

He was disappointed with audience reaction. He said they were rather naive. “The action affected the grads most because it hit them the hardest”.

Many criticized Stone for speaking out in the wrong place and at the wrong time. Stone said he was looking for this impact. “If no one ever stood up, nothing would ever be heard.”

Students, faculty r 2 SW presidents resign By Dave Young external-relations chairman

The hottest campus in Canada is slowly regaining its cool.

A sequence of events brought the mountain campus of Simon Fraser University close to erup- tion last week, beginning with a statement of censure by the Canadian Association of Univer- sity Teachers two weeks ago.

Passed by the national executive council of the CAUT, the statement amounts to black- listing the university . SFU’s board of governors and administration were condemned for in- terference in academic affairs and president Patrick McTag- gart-Cowan (McFog) was charged with faulty administration.

The CAUT called upon university professors not to accept or retain teaching positions at the university until improvements occur.

Reacting quickly to the censure resolution, SFU’s faculty voted 125 to 61 to demand Mc- Fog’s resignation.

Student pressure mounted with equal speed, as a mass meeting backed a list of eight demands including the firing of McFog and the chancellor their re- placement by persons elected by students and faculty and complete democratic control of the university by the faculty and students.

Confronted with the faculty vote and mounting student unrest, the board of governors-- under the thumb of BC Hydro magnate, chancellor Gordon Shrum -decided to ask McFog to take an “extended leave of ab- sence.”

Dr. John Ellis, head of the department of professional found- ations and associate dean of the faculty of education was named interim president.

Neither students nor -faculty regarded the board’s action as satisfactory. Last Monday, the students voted 1361 to 289 to

Western ups tuition, students threaten fight

LONDON (Special)-Student leaders at the University of Wes- tern Ontario are fighting the raise in tuition fees announced by their board of governors on Tuesday.

Threats of strikes and sit-ins were made after students rejected as unaceptable the $25 raise in fees.

Student council president John Yokum attacked the board of governors for unila tera 1 decision- making and said that the university governing structure must change.

Giles Ouellette, student council finance commissioner at Western said, “If the board does not decide to lower the fee there will be hell to pay in September when the students come back. They’re going to turn this campus upside down. ”

Ouelette accused the board of

acting in the best interest of itself and not the students.

It’s much simpler to pass the projected deficit on to the passive unresisting students than it is to replace inefficient per- sonnel in the higher administrative echelons. ”

The raise in fees opposes a longstanding student council policy at Western that tuition fees should be abolished.

Students are now trying to rally support of the faculty association for their demands.

There is no chance of a fee raise at Waterloo this year however as the tuition rates have already been set by the board of governors at their April meeting.

Federation president Brian Iler said, “the fee increase at Western is just raising another barrier higher education for the lower classes.”

demand the board’s resignation. A majority also voted in favor of boycotting classes and estab- lishing a liberated university in the unoccupied rooms and lecture hall. This strike vote, however, failed to attain the necessary two-thirds.

Percy Smith, CAUT executive director, said that the board’s action in firing the President was not sufficient to prompt with- drawal of the censure.

Later the same day, Ellis resigned as interim president and Dr. Archibald MacPherson, head of the geography department and dean of arts, was nominated by the faculty to replace him.

MacPherson said he would seek to have his appointment approved by the students before going to the board for ratification.

Tuesday, students refused to back MacPherson’s nomination for temporary acting president. Mac- Pherson apparently intends to seek approval by the board in any event.

Even if MacPherson were appointed by the board, SFU’s pre- sidency game would not be complete. The next step would be the selection of a permanent acting president..

A committee of five faculty members is being elected to consult with the board on choice of SFU’s fourth president. The students have not yet been ap- proached on the matter.

Student leaders are now considering further action. They are disappointed that the strike vote fell short of the two-thirds mark. The student council had earlier decided that a simple majority would be sufficient

support to warrant strike action, but confusion during the voting led to the application of the two- thirds rule.

SFU’s student council is headed by longtime radicals Martin Loney, Jim Harding and John Conway, as president and first and second

vice presidents, respectively. 11 of 13 council candidates on the radical slate were elected. Their election platform included proposals for the step-by-step democratization of the university, to begin with tearing down the walls between faculty and student lounges.

Simon Fraser has a tradition of being one of the most radical campuses in English Canada. Last year, a five-day general strike resulted in the reinstate- ent of several teaching assis- tants who had been suspended for political activity in the Burnaby high schools.

Although relative calm has returned to the campus, many predict that it will only be temporary. The student leaders tend to view the current events as only one part of a long drive for the liberation of the university. With the help of four CUS field workers, they are now planning the next stages of their campaign.

Brian Iler, president of the Federation of Students sent a telegram of solidarity to the SFU student council.

He said, “The basic problems which underly the press nt dis- turbances at Simon Fraser exist here, as well as at every other university: an obsolete system of government with ul- timate power concentrated in the board of governors-which is dominated by outside business interests.

Here, the student representatives on the university government study committee are press- ing for student-faculty control of the university and the aboli- tion of the board of governors.

“It is my hope that a res- tructuring of the university along democratic lines can be ac- complished here without the type of disturbance we’ve seen at Simon Fraser-or Columbia Uni- versity in New York-in the past weeks.”

Another kind of rip: Bill Chalmers, arch 1 B, got three slashed tires in the temporary Village parking lot beside the security office. It was one of several slashings in 2 weeks.

Satirist hits Qoiv recruitin.@ I This is the text of an address by Jules Feiffer given

at San Jose State College, 1 I March,

I was asked when I arrived this ’ morning to speak at the counter-demonstration. It was hoped --

-that my presence-and the presence of a rock band- would draw students away from the Dow

. Chemical demonstration and help prevent violence. Now, I am strongly opposed to left-wing violence;

I don’t think throwing steer’s blo’od and breaking windows and urinating on the Pentagon is-an effective way of winning the hearts and minds of the American people. That approach-the charging into crowds, the beating up of bystanders, the indiscriminate assault on private and government property-is only effective when used by the government. In any case, I am morally opposed to the use of violence by either side: the aggressor or the aggressed upon.

So I asked for some information about the _ situation at San Jose State.. Well, I was told that / last year you had a riot. I thought that was bad and

asked how ( the riot happened to get started. I was told that the riot began when the police

* came on earnpus, and that tear gas was used. I naturally assumed that the tear gas was used by the demonstrators because as we all ,know from press reports of the march on the Pentagon, all those kids had tear gas cannisters. The u~se of tear gas and Mace to dispel attacking police is a well- known left-wing tactic. .

However, in this case, I was informed that the tear gas had been used by the police-and the hope was that a counter-demonstration would cool the present situation and prevent the police from having to take action. So I became sympathetic to the counter-demonstration. I assumed it was to

be against the presence of the police on campus. But

no. It was to be against the presence of students on campus. I asked if the administration had asked the police to please stay off campus this time? No. You can’t ask the police to stay off campus. It’s a violation of their civil liberties.

I asked if after the last demonstration did the administration condemn the role of the police and the use of tear gas? No. The president might lose his job if he did that. Was Dow Chemical asked to stay away? No. That would violate Dow Chemical’s civil liberties. Was the NLF offered the campus so that it too could set up a recruiting table? No. The NLF’s civil liberties are being taken care of by Dow Chemical. Besides, it wasn’t fair to keep Dow Chemical off campus when only one percent of its industrial plant went to making napalm.

I wondered what would be a good percentage? If Dow chemical used two percent or five percent of its industrial plant to make napalm, would that. be reason enough to keep it off campus? Twenty-five percent? Fifty percent. 3 Or should we wait until Dow starts making gas ovens? One percent napalm, one percent gas ovens. Qnly two percent of Dow’s industrial plant contributed to genocide. Besides, what percentage of the world’s population did gas ovens kill? Not much. Anyhow, all wars kill people.

I carefully considered all this information and decided that it was incumbent upon me to take a stand. So I have suggested that the most effective way to handle future demonstrations is to ask the Justice Department to invoke the anti-riot provision of the Civil Rights bill-that provision which makes it a federal crime to cross State lines with intent to incite riot and violence. I suggested they arrest the Dow Chemical Corporation. -

y group cancels talk Waterloo’s university govern-

ment study has suffered another setback.

Only 10 of the 24 committee members attended a May 30 meeting called to discuss the question of openness of the deliberations of governing bodies. All discussion was postponed to mid-Sep- tember.

The study committee was formed by the senate and board of governors in September, 1966.

All three student reps, Steve Flott, Brian Iler and Steve Ire- land, were present. Two of the three board of governors members, Bruce Marr and C.N. Weber, attended, while Colonel H. J. Heas- ley met with the board executive.

Others included principal John Finn of St. Jerome’s College, profs Allan Nelson and Larry Haworth, development vicepresident Ted Batke (committee chairman) and registrar Trevor Boyes, secretary.

Notable among the absentees were all five deans: Cross, Mc- Bryde, Minas, Sherbourne and Sprott. Also missing were profs Aziz, Hynes, Rees and Van Der Hoff, faculty association rep

George Atkinson, provost Bill Scott and operations vicepresident Al Adlington. President Gerry Hagey was also with the board exec.

Batke told the committee that the first draft of the final brief is half completed and will be ready in September.

In an interview Batke would not discuss the content of the

draft brief but said, “I think

we’re ahead of most places. We tackled some fundamental questions and discussed some signi- ficant changes.”

However, student reps are known to be disappointed with the pace and quality of the committee’ s debates. Ireland said, “We’ve had a lot of votes with the three students against the rest. A lot of questions have never really been resolved. ”

Aside from Seagram stadium, there are only two fields a- vailable: Bauer field (beside the Co-op’s Hammar house) and the present Columbia field adja- cent to the grad house.

Bauer field is the site of mar- ried student residences that will probably be started next spring. The athletic and phys-ed depart- ments are already tight for field space and the new Columbia field space and the new Colum- bia field would have to be avail- ,able in the fall to equal present facilities.

Physical-plant and planning director Bill Lobban said an ulti- mate plan for phys-ed facilities on the edge of the north campus has been completed and approved. “We are only waiting to clear the money to go ahead,” he said.

Because of the slope in the area, it would cost too much

to leave the grad house. A re- taining wall would have to be built that would cost as much as the field itself, said Lobban.

housing: OUS The Ontario Union of Students

tackled major problems at a Toronto conference last week.

Housing, tuition fees student discipline and student scabbing all came under delegates’ fire.

OUS is advocating joint housing projects for low-income citizens and students. The delegates felt the student housing difficul- ties should be viewed as part of the overall Canadian housing problem.

They expressed dissatisfaction with present housing conditions and recommended long-term planning and greater diversifi- cation for student housing.

The conference considered having students witholding 10 percent of their tuition until fees are ‘abolished, as a means of attain- ing universal accessibility.

Delegates rejected this action because it hit the universities rather than the bosses-the provincial government.

OUS adopted a student discipline resolution demanding that “the jurisdiction of the university over its members shall extend only so far as to include those matters which are not held in common with the Canadian judi- cial system and impinge directly and exclusively on the function- ing of an educational institution.”

The OUS executive was con- cerned about “student scabbing”. At the Thermo-Tex plant in Tor- onto three weeks ago, OUS president Monique Oullette and other representatives picketed against student scabbing at the plant during a strike.

“No person, OUS believes, student or non-student, may work in a plant at which there is a legal strike, and condemns all who do accept jobs in such a plant during such a strike.” said the resolution adopted as official policy.

Marks to be out u week earlier than lust year, says registfur

The annual song and dance over marks is on again, and with it come the usual rumors and speculation. It was rumored one math 130 prof went on holidays and didn’t hand in his marks, possibly delaying several hundred first- year mark reports.

that the processing of marks is “in pretty good shape right now and the marks should be out a week to ten days earlier than last year”.

The story is partly true. Ar- thur Beaumont, assistant mathematics said, “One man did leave, and he had his papers marked, but wanted to add in his term marks. However, the situation has been blown out of proportion. No first year marks are being held up because of this”.

Peter Roos of the registrar’s office revealed that although a few profs got their marks in late, arts will be holding their examinations and promotions meeting early next week and all the other faculties are holding theirs today.

Boyes declared, “The only thing that can kill us now is machine failure in the processing of marks.”

All the marks are in, and the examinations and promotions meeting for the faculty of mathe- matis is today.

Registrar, Trevor Boyes said

Roos guesstimated the marks for arts undergraduates would be sent out early in the week of June 17 and the others the end of next week.

An eyewitness report:

Revolution at New York’s Columbiu

A Black Power spokesman addresses Columbia students on the steps of Low library. Stoke& Carmichael and H. Rap Brown were among the black leaders that appeared to represent the interests of neighboring Harlem.

by Cyril Levitt

My vacation in New York City was to be an uneventful affair far removed from the activity of student politics and intrigue. I was to spend a peaceful week stationed at the Brittany, a dormit- ory of New York University deep in the heart of the East Village.

Indeed, things started out quietly enough. I spent the first two days, Sat- urday and Sunday, April 27 and 28th adorned in peace beads roaming through Manhattan’s Lower East side.

Then I read reports concerning the events at Columbia University.

At that time, more than five hundred students had barricaded themselves in five buildings on the Columbia campus. I knew two of the issues involved in their demonstration were Columbia’s affiliation with the Institute for Defense Analysis, a giant “think tank” for the defense department and a gym to be built by Colum- bia on the site of a community park and recreation area in Harlc m.

Late Sunday night I phoned a friend, a graduate history student at Columbia. His roommate said my friend was inside Fayerweather Hall, the “liberated” graduate social science building. I com- mandeered a car from a friend and drove to Columbia.

Columbia University is built in a box, bordered by 115th street and 117th street on the south and north, -tnd by Broadway and Amsterdam Ave \n the west and east. The two main entrances are situated opposite each other on Broadway and Amsterdam Ave, each consisting of a iron and concrete barrier about twelve feet high and heavy iron gates which can be shut to keep people out.

When I reached Columbia that night the gates were shut aght and the university was surrounded by police carrying nightsticks and armed to the teeth. The heaviest concentration of cops was at the gates where there were some four or five dozen. I circled the block for many minutes looking for some place to make an entry. It was impossible, the police were doing an admirable job. Not wishing to risk a confrontation which might embarrass my government I decided to withdraw, seeking the safety and security of the East Village.

The cop bust comes Early the next Tuesday morning,

WABC news announced more than 1,000 police had moved into Columbia during the night and had removed the students from the buildings. The halls of New York University were buzzing with con- versations and rumours about the “cop bust”.

4 48 TheCHEVRON

A protest demonstration was called by h.xlent groups in the New York area for 1 pm that afternoon outside the Am- sterdam entrance to Columbia. I arrived there with two friends from York Univer- sity shortly after 7 p.m. Several thousand students had massed in front of the gates of the university listening intently to the highly charged speeches from student leaders standing on a balcony overlooking the street.

Mark Rudd, the charismatic leader of Columbia students for a democratic society (SDS), cut a dashing figure as he made his way to the portable speaker system and a wild round of applause broke from the crowd. The cheers turned into a chorus of “Strike! Strike!” as the students stretched their arms into the air and waved the victory sign. Rudd invoked past revolutionary images in a damning speech directed at those corporate interest he said were responsible for setting the police upon the students in the buildings. But he cau- tioned against storming the gates of Columbia since the power of the police at that point would have made any such attempt foolhardy.

Indeed hundreds of police were clearly visible. All carried a dangerous assort- ment of weapons. Some were on horse- back, others on motorcycles, and still others were in the dozen of buses which the police had used to rush rein- forcements to the scene. I have never seen such vicious looking characters as these “tactical police force” men. They all stood over six feet tall, covered in leather from head to toe, content to paranoically clean the silvered lenses of their sunglasses-at least for a while.

“Don’t mourn-organise!” Rudd concluded his speech with the final

words of Joe Hill, the famous songwriter- organizer of the Industrial Workers of the World, the Wobblies, prior to his execution before Utah firing squad.

“Don’t waste time mourning-organize! ” The mourning was obviously in refer

ence to those students who had suffered from the effects of police brutality the night before in the buildings.

When I had previously read reports of brutality, I tended to dismiss them as exaggerated. Yet, I had the proof before my very eyes. It was a sickening sight. Girls don’t look pretty with bloodied bandages wrapped around them. The cops used a new technique. They wrapped their handcuffs around their fists as they smashed the students across their faces. Most were lucky to escape with cuts and gashes. One boy wasn’t so

fortunate. The handcuffs shattered one of his contact lenses as it raked across his face. The doctors removed the eye that same day.

Student leaders decided to meet that night in City College to discuss how the various campuses in the New York area should respond to the events at Columbia. It was decided each campus would be responsible for its own operations but campuses should provide all the assistance the Columbia students desired. On the wishes of the leaders of the Columbia students, a crowd gathered that afternoon and completely surrounded Columbia, demonstrating the university was totally in the hands of the students.

Sympathy strike

I left the meeting at City and phoned Peter Nack, president of the student council of the State University of New York at Stonybrook, and asked him about the reaction on his campus. He said a meeting was in progress concerning the Stonybrook reaction and that I would probably read about it in the papers. His prophecy came true. The next day I read students at Stonybrook had occupied the administration building there to demonstrate their solidarity with the striking Columbia students.

I then telephoned my friend from Columbia who had taken part in the liberation of Fayerweather Hall. I asked how he was and he poetically replied, “Brother, I’m walkin’ and talkin’with my mind set on freedom”. Apparently, he had suffered some abuse during the police raid.

“One cop”, he said “proceeded to painfully break my arm while another stole my watch.” He informed me that the police had confiscated more than $15,000 worth of student property and belongings. He agreed to meet me the next morning at 8 am in the coffee shop at the corner of 116th street and Broad- way and explain everything over a cup of coffee.

In the morning, we settled down to that long overdue talk. Staring out across the street at the dozens of cops in front of the gates, Mark began to brief me on the history and meaning of the develop- ments which led to the bloody scene the day before.

“The gym and Columbia’s affiliation

with IDA have always been important issues with radicals and liberals on campus. Yet, it wasn’t until the start of this year that any serious confrontations occurred. As the school year opened, the campus newspaper, the Spectator, de- picted SDS as an organization declining on the campus. It was then that Mark Rudd was elected to the leadership of SDS bringing a new vigour and sense of maturity to the organization. ”

Rudd, together with Paul Rockwell, editor of the Gadfly, a campus journal, and others consolidated the membership of SDS into an organization to be reck- oned with. During the course of the year, Columbia SDS led the fight against recruiting on campus by Dow Chemical, the CIA and the military. In a dramatic move, a member of SDS threw a pie in the face of the New York chief of the draft board, thereby desanctifying one of the ____-_____-__-_------------------

It was the Columbia SDS people who went to Dow Chemical’s offices and recruited employees of that company for the SDS. Yet, the actions were still localized to a small segment of the student body.

“In April, Dean Coleman put a ban upon indoor demonstrations when SDS announced that it planned a peaceful protest inside the halls of Low Library. When the protesters found themselves locked out of the library, they marched en masse to theconstruction sight of the new gym in Morningside park, in Har- lem. Now, Columbia University has always pursued an agressive and im- perialistic policy in relation to Harlem. The university administration has ac- quired over the years the tenements in Harlem which border on the university grounds for expansion of the Columbia area. The tenants had organized themselves into a committee to protest the treatment they received by the administrator-slumlords of the university.

“However, their pleas went unanswer- ed. The gym in this respect was the straw that broke the camel’s back. Morning side park had been traditionally

a part of the Harlem community and Columbia’s actions showed an arrogance and unconcern which angered the community. Protests and other channels being effectively closed, SDS accompanied by members of the SAS (Students Afro-American Society, a local Black Power group), smashed the construction barriers in the park and proceeded to obstruct the act of construction. The police were called and six of the demonstrators were arrested.

and the SAS marched into Hamilton Hall, a classroom building, looking for Dean Coleman. The black students decided that they would hold the dean hostage to dramatize their plight and in retaliation for the arrest of their comrades. Most of the white students were content to hold freedom classes in the building and wished to free the dean. Friction developed between the white and black radicals, the latter claiming that the whites really weren’t on their side.

students moved out of Hamilton and occupied Low Library. Barricades were erected in both the buildings. When students arrived on campus the next morning, many were confused by the turn of events. A group of architecture students met and decided to liberate Avery Hall, the architecture building. This was ac- complished and the barricades went up. Another group of SDS students liberated the mathematics building and radical graduate students liberated Fayerwea- Q her Hall

“The coordinating committee made its headquarters in Ferris Booth Hall, the student union building, where a list of six demands were drawn up the primary one being that amnesty be granted to all demonstrators as a precondition to ne- gotiations with the administration. The students reasoned that the university houses the university community and that they, the students, were perhaps the most integral part of that community. Why should they be punished for occupy- ing their own buildings? Are they students at the univessity only between those hours that the buildings are open as defined by the administration?

“The students believed the university should be defined by the faculty and students, those most directly involved in the educative process, and not by the administration who represent the wishes of those corporate chieftains on the board of trustees whose stake in the university is motivated by self-interest and profit.

Faculty as mediators

“The faculty largely played a concil- iatory role at this time. Most faculty members were dismayed by the events. A good portion of them sympathized with the students demands although they deplored the tactics used. However, their feeling generally was not sympathetic to the students. People who have a great stake in the system by nature tend to regard an attack upon the system as a personal threat. Yet there was a small proportion of radical faculty people in the occupied buildings.

“Another group of students began to organize against the occupants of the buildings. It called itself the majority coalition and consisted mainly of phy s-ed majors (locks), engineers and frater- nity members (frat rats). This group of about three hundred surrounded the buildings and tried to prevent food from reaching the students- inside by cutting bff their supply lines. If it hadn’t had been for the several hundred faculty sep- arating the two groups, bloodshed would certainly had taken place. 1 “One could tell which side one was on

by examining the armbands which was worn about the sleeve. If you were on occupant of the buildings or a sympath- izer, you wore a red or black armband. If you were a member of the majority coalition, you wore .a blue or green armband, If you were a member of the faculty keeping the peace between the groups, you sported a white colour.

“Most of the students on the campus were sympathetic to the aims of the occupants of the buildings. However, like the faculty, they were in disagreement with the tactics employed. The liberals just didn’t understand that we have been smashing our heads against brick walls for years by going through channels that are power-oriented to favor the top, the interests of the administration and hence the board of trustees. We did the only possible effective thing under the cir- cumstances. It was indeed a difficult moral decision. What is one to do when responsible action as defined by the powers in the university (or society) leads down blind alleys?”

After pausing for a few moments to discuss some important issues with a fellow student; Mark began to describe the scene of the night of the bust.

“We were about to go to sleep when Fe heard the- rumor the police were on their way to get us. We had been expecting this for a long while. Our black brothers in Hamilton Hall had refused to sell us out even with the generous offers made by the administration. We knew that if the cops tried to bust the black students in Hamilton Hall that the various groups in Harlem would make good their promise to bun Columbia to the ground.

Cries for mother “The cops rushed through the lines

of the majority Coalition, knocking many to the ground. The faculty protect-

“Hamilton Hall was the first to go. The cops entered by way of an underground tunnel, led by a clack informer who had spent some time with the students in the building. Apparently the police heeded the warning of the black group in Harlem, for the building was evacuated in an almost cordial atmosphere-the blacks were gingerly carried into the paddy wagons. However, Fayer- weather Hall, the next to be hit, did not escape with as light a touch.

,

L

ing the buildings had their white armbands bloodied by these same agents of justice. For many minutes, the police hammered at the barricaded doors with axes and sledgehammers. Finally, the doors gave under the pressure of the assault.

“The first cop into the building picked up a chair which had formed part of the barricade and tossed it at a girl, knocking her unconscious. Then the troopers began to pour in with their billy clubs flailing amongst the beleaguered students. The kids went into a state of shock, some unashamedly crying for their mothers to protect them from the blows of the police.

“Down the concrete steps we were dragged and tossed unceremoniously into the paddywagons. Many who needed medical attention were left to bleed in the police vans, unattended until they _ were booked at the station.

The cops are destructive “All in all, some 130 people required

some sort of hospitalization or professional medical care. It has been estimated $15 thousand worth of student property had been stolen by the police. Further- more, students hiding in closet in the

‘heat of the raid overheard the police yelling vile obscenities at the students, many included bloodthirsty re- marks. They also noted the police began to destroy the property which the papers later attributed to student van- dalism.

Actually the students behaved themselves admirably during the occupation to the extent that clean-up committees were organized to ensure the protection of the contents of the building.

about the whole situation is the role of the so-called free press. The New York Times played down any reports concerning brutality and reported the satisfaction of public officials with the way the police had .handled the job. Then again, this really isn’t very sur- prising considering the fact that Sulz- burger, the owner of the Times, sits on the board of Columbia and was one of the individuals responsible for summon- ing the police.

“The obvious distortions of the press led the students on the staff of the Columbia Spectator, the campus newspaper, to claim that the free press was a joke when those people masquerading as reporters act like cretins who only distort the truth.

“A fever gripped the campus. All the lies and trickery covered over by the syrup of liberal administrators were exposed. Students who grew up on the rehetoric of ‘liberal’ educators clearly began to see the hoax that had been per- petrated. Brutal cops or, gentle cops were not the issue. Rather the police brutality, the press distortions and t the administrative rhetoric called into question not only the question of the quality of university education, but in fact indicted the whole of American society.”

The first building was occupied on Tuesday April 25. At that time the small vociferous minority of SDS and SAS people were not particularly loved on campus. One week later, the day after the police bust, thousands of Columbia students were 100 percent behind SDS. Thousands more were deep- ly disturbed and willing to lend a more sympathetic ear to the demonstrators. -All in all, Columbia will never be the same.

As we finished our coffee, my’ friend slipped two Columbia identification cards into my hand and said that they would get me through the police lines at the gate. We passed through the door of the coffee shop and headed towards the police barricade.

If some Saturday morning you are still up, ’ give the Kitchener farmers market a try. The market is located just north of the city hall.

Every Saturday, plus Wednesdays during the summer, local farmers bring in their produce, meats, cheeses and dry goods to be sold in one of the 300 indoor or 100 outdoor stalls.

The regular customers in this age of supermarkets are drawn from young and old, vicepresidents and housewives. Many families _ make it a weekly ritual to take their wicker baskets and go to market.

The market was originated in 1865. The present building was erected in

5 am market l

1907 at a cost of $17,272.

Local Mennonites ’ bring in many of their specialties: schnitz pie, dutch apple pie, and other assorted bake goods, jams, jellies, maple syrup, apple butter, coffee cakes, German light and dark rye bread and fluffy butter milk loaf. .

From the Community of Brethren one can purchase greaseless geese down pill- ows and comforters, homemade noodles and soap.

The cheese stalls are always a big attraction for the shopper with famous Baden limburger, Wellesley Cheddars, blue, mozzarella and kochase cheeses.,

Sauerkraut in Waterloo Xounty goes without mention as one of. the dishes

with great appeal.,

At other stalls you can buy fresh vege- tables and fruit from Niagara, cream, milk, butter custom-made knives and shoes, aprons, stuffed toys, flowers, fruit trees and tomato plants. .

One of the major attractions of the market is the friendly atmosphere c which is alivays a good place to meet friends and make new ones. There is the / friendly man behind the meat counter, cheese counter, bakery counter et al who --I

Even if you do not have a large fam- ily to feed, the market is full of delights to tantalize all the senses.

I welcomed the concern for world poverty expressed in The Survival of Man (May 24th, 1968) and the sobering quotations which accompanied your editorial. These are surely the determinative issues of our era: soaring population s, staggering economic di spar- ities, imminent famine on a here- tofore undreamed of scale, and awareness of our moral inade- quacy to meet the demands posed by such problems.

I am puzzled, however by the gratuitous inclusion of a prediction that the Hebrew-Christian faith is doomed, finally to be recognized as irrelevant superstition. Perhaps you intend only to echo the similar predictions of the past ventury or more, some made sadly (Hardy) some bitterly (Marx), some with glee (Nietzsche), some dispassionately (Freud) faith in a complex cultural situation.

Or perhaps you meant to state a recognition of the end of any casual assumption that the Christian faith provides an auto- matic ethic for the easy and nat- tural exercise of North American or world citizenship. Very few are prepared to face the strenuous

ethic of Jesus of Nazareth, even when we recognize the truth and necessity of obedience to those demands.

But should Hebrew-Christian orthodoxies be written off so readily as superstition? Surely the concern for the hungry, the disadvantaged, and the politically and economically powerless, a concern you champion, stems more directly from such orthodoxy than from any other source. And you recognize the poverty of the available alternatives for decisive moral action.

Who will persuade anyone to accept the cost of a “more basic humanitarianism” or the application of “more worth to the individual as an individual”, or a “common love of one’s fellow man”? They are costly ideals indeed. One must have a pretty coherent answer to the question “What is man?” if he is to be an advocate of a demanding ethic of service and concern. But where are we to learn the definitive answer to the nature and destiny of man?

Perhaps what was intended was a disgust with that North American

Christianity which is a “culture religion’ ’ 7 a gloss on a thinly dis- guised, brutally materialistic society. You may be surprised to find that the harshest criticisms in this vein are made by those from within the believing community. No doubt Christian faith as we have all known it has been diluted, or even spoiled for us by a superstitious overlay. Up- dating can be mere patch-ups. But it may be genuine prophecy-not predictions, but prophecy of the biblical genre, a means for God’s renewal of his work in the world.

Would you seriously commend as less superstitious the notion that we can or shall find “a set of ethics based on a universally acceptable rationale”’ a kind of moral Esaperanto, an artificially devised language of effective citizenship? Which of us will be constrained by this, when it hurts? Is there no validity to the Heb- rew-Christian orthodoxy which sees a critical distortion at the centre of man’s reality, a “bent- ness”, as C.S. Lewis called it, which distorts reason so readily into rationalization?

Might it not be better to hope that, for all its flaws, flabbiness and failings, the Hebrew-Christian orthodoxies might be renewed, since they have so often been a source of inspiration for the moral passion you sense we need? I cannot muster much confidence that an artificially contrived rational ethic can offer the resources needed to oppose modern superstition.

It might be worthwhile to review the history of the struggle in Germany against the sweeping power of the anti-Christian (and patently anti-Hebrew) mythologies of National Socialism in Germ-

any between 1933-45. Highly regarded German humanistic ethics failed to provide the resources for courageous resistance and martydrdom. Only two “counter- superstitions”, if that is how they must be designated, were suffi- ciently powerful and resilient to provide the resources for resistance to the far from rational but powerfully appealing pseudo-ethic of Naziism : a profoundly realis- tic Christianity, found among both Protestants and Roman Catholics of highly orthodox persuasion, and an optimistic Communism (this was prior to the expose of the true character of Stalinism).

You say it cannot happen here? But, on page 5 of the same issue a headline reads “a militant right may be answer to activist left”. Frankly, I am far less apprehen- sive of the full implications of the rise of the activist left than the propsect of a surge to power by the militant right. Surely the new rationalist humanism for which you appeal must consider with deadly seriousness the danger posed by the irrational mythologies which seem to accompany rightist movements.

Is there any reason to believe that a quarter of a century after the encounter between the church and the rightist mythology of Naziism there is a better basis for opposition to tyranny and for dedi- cation to effective humanistic service than that afforded by the Hebrew-Christian understand- ing of man’s true humanity and his responsible place in the cosmos?

Warrior rookies shine

Break 3=game losing streak by Andy Kryczka Chevron sports

The Waterloo fastball Warriors showed a great improvement Wednesday night as they main- tained an early lead to defeat Kent Hotel 13-7. Two new players, shortstop Ron Nichols and outfielder Lorne John son, helped the team get on its feet after three straight losses.

After giving up one run in the first inning, the school squad quickly took over the lead. Nichols hit a triple to send in Lawless, and Johnson drove in Nichols with a single to give the Warriors a 2-l margin.

The Warriors threatened to increase their lead in the second inning as pitcher Louis Angema hit a double with one man on putting runners on second and third. The threat was snuffed, however, as the side was retired with two men left on base.

In the top of the third, Hotel took a 3-2 lead with two runs on two walks and a triple.

The Waterloo squad was quick to retaliate as Pete Geuvre- ment started off the bottom of the third with a triple. Brian Krulicki brought him in with a single to tie the score 3-3. One walk and two batters out left men on second a d third. Two more walks brought yet another run in a-nd left the bases loaded. This time the Warriors capitalized with a double by, Jerry Lawless to make the score 6-3.

Good infielding in the fourth inning restricted the Kent to one run.

The Warriors faced a new pitcher in their half of the fourth but it didn’t seem to bother them. Geuvrement got to first when the Kent catcher dropped the ball on the third strike. Two walks loaded the bases. With three on base and two out Don Scott was called in to pinch hit. He pulled through with a double that drove in three runs increasing the Warrior lead to five runs.

Once again the bases were loaded with another walk and a base hit by Angema. The War-

riors fanned this chance when the next batter went down swing- ing.

The opposition was kept score- less in the fifth with two quick infield snatches and a running grab by Johnson in deep left field.

Once again Geuvrement lead off the Warrior fifth with a double. Krulicki drove him in with a triple and was in turn driven in by a Johnson single. Don Mervyn’s hit put two men on base but this time the Water- loo squad didn’t come through and the two men were left on base.

In the sixth inning, Don Scott replaced Angema on the mound and was charged with .protecting the 11-4 lead. He started off slowly‘as Kent loaded the bases with a single and two walks. The infield helped him out however and the Hotel was held score- less in this frame.

Waterloo didn’t fare much better as they went down three in a row.

With the pressure on in the seventh, Kent drove in three run-s on three hits and a walk to make the score 11-7. Don Scott struck out two batters in the frame.

In the bottom of the seventh Krulicki hit a long ball over the centre field fence for the only homer of the game.

Two outfield catches and a fast infield play blanked the Kent in the top of the eighth.

In the Warrior half of the inning the Warriors earned another run as Scott, on base with a single, was driven in with a single from Geuvrement, making the score 13-7.

In their final turn at bat, the Hotel team earned a double and a walk but failed to change the score of 13-7.

Both the offensive and defen- sive play of the Warriors showed much improvement over the previous game. The reshuffled infield exhibited good fielding which lasted throughout the game. Coach and first baseman Don “elbows” Mervyn, third base-

man Brian Krulicki, and second sacker Pete Geuvrement led the infield, while rookie Ron Nichols displayed all-star skill.

In the outfield, centre fielder Jerry Lawless made two spec- tacular running catches to cut off possible Hotel threats. His efforts were examples of the heads up play of the entire team.

Poor infield play in the first inning cost the fastball Warriors another game last Tuesday night. Mutual Life scored two un- earned runs in this fra,me chalking up a 2-O lead. One of these was scored when catcher Al Sharp dropped a third strike pitch. The runner made it to first on this error and then to home on a subsequent over- throw at first that went into the outfield.

Only the solid work of the Warrior fullbacks and some good goaltending by Steve Bedford kept Toronto from filling the net. Toronto finally scored in the closing minutes of the second half. This goal proved to be the winner as the Warriors lost 1-O. A strong wind hampered the passing attack on both teams and produced some close calls on curving corner kicks.

It occurred to me the other day that it is about time that we go on an anti-green campaign around here just to the Uni- versity’s department of physical (as opposed to mentally) pol- lution and passification’s employees’ delight-we’re heard that they are sick and tired and overburdened with the pres- sures of reaching their daily quota of trees and sod.

My inclination has been to refuse: I am not an expert in the sociology of political or social movements. But I too am intrigued: it seems an important question and a difficult one. Too often the layman’s suspicion that the sociologist spends much of his time investigating the obvious is not wholly without justification.

Besides, the question my friend has asked has implications for the politics of academia. It has been observed that professors in the more well-established universities and colleges, with the greatest guarantees of academic freedom, are the most jealous guardians of that freedom. And professors at institutions of the higher learning that pay the highest salaries are the most active in protecting their . . 1 1 economic interests. . . . . * . . . . . . - .*.*. : : : : : .

A new French Revolution is in the making. Students and workers have risen in protests against alleged grievances--educational, economic, politic al. We witnesses from across the seas have been fascinated at the prospect of a replay of history. Some of us are troubled by it, others overjoyed.

An academic colleague from another discipline is neither disturbed nor happy but intrigued by a larger question. He wonders whether the revolt in France is not part of a larger picture of social unrest in the world of students in California, New York, and Prague; of Negroes in the United States; of French Canadians. All these groups seem to be challenging the status quo for what they consider to be their unattained rights.

Mix on TV degrees: guests can stay home

No doubt many disappointed parents and irate graduates have told you their feelings concerning the fiasco that was the televised mathematics convocation on May 23.

As an undergraduate student I watched many friends receive their degrees via television from a second-floor classroom. I felt sickened and ashamed that such a thing could happen at Waterloo.

We have reached a sorry state when our most important assets, our graduates, and their parents ,are shunted into the background to accomodate the purse holders from Queen’s Park.

, There is no justification for a setup that requires mothers and fathers to photograph a television screen in a vain attempt to record their son or daughter receiving his or her degree.

Hopefully, this is a one-and-only occurence. Perhaps next year Chancellor Needles will trim his 93-name guest list.

We’re unfair to cadmin- suy the anti-cynics

As you have suggested, we have gathered a sampling of our general observations about your newspaper. These are our personal opinions and they in no way represent anyone else.

Our main gripe is your cyni- cism.

In the past this attitude has been especially prevalent in your editorials on Village council. Rather than attempt to make some constructive suggestions, you persisted in reducing coun-

cil proceedings to the sandbox level in the pages of your newspaper.

More recently, we have noted your bombasity in the 2B physics episode. Though the students involved were willing to accept the demise of their stream of the co-op plan, you had the gall to tell them they were being screwed by the administration.

You were ready to take up your self-styled banner and fight the glorious fight against the establishment. You then printed the story even though the matter was not entirely settled. And you knew it.

Last week, the latest install- ment of the kampus kop kon- flict appeared as a campus quickie. The cul-de-sac areas at the Village are constructed for the easy access of emergency vehicles, especially fire trucks. Still you made a huge deal out of the fact that a car was towed away last Monday night. However, you neglected to explain why. Instead, you turned on the tears and asked if a student would be driven home if his car was impounded. You were satisfied, once again, to portray the security department as evil green villains.

These are only a few examples of the overall cynic attitude which we believe pervades the Chevron. Maybe we students are being screwed by the administration. But please, please get your facts straight. As things stand now, cynic copy comes first. The administration’s side comes last. And the truth lies somewhere in between. JERRY COOK

hg. sees two societies but questions neither

Your Daily Star reprint was fascinating and quite enlighten- ing about our new president and his outlook toward the co-op plan. (May 10, Iler says he’s shortchanged. ) I most heartily agree with what Iler says except for one thing.

The co-op engineer (or any student) can pick up more about humanities than straight students. This is true since the co-op undergrad can look at the company and the people who com- pose it as an outsider while living with them.

I must admit though, there is one downfall to this idea. That is that he becomes industrially oriented and usually comes to the point of not questioning society and looking for possible solutions but becomes one of them--the rats of the rat race.

As long as Br’Iler keeps in mind that some co-op students can pick up a more diversified education than other students by living in two societies--the great lunchboy one and the student reactionaries. Take your pick of which is closer to a real society.

As for Pete Warrian (Canadian Union of Students president), if he’d look into the facts, he’d see that most engineers use their degree as a stepping stone to other jobs and this was intended from the very beginning.

But I hope Iler can get engineers a little more interested in their lives instead of just the books and standing first and their almighty jobs and the crisp greenback.

practice. (p. 174-5) “It is a proven fact that the upper classes in France were

beginning to show a philanthropic concern for the lot of the poor before the latter threatened them in any way, and took an active interest in improving their condition at a time when the thought that these people they befriended might one day cause their downfall had never entered their heads. (p.183)

“The sympathy shown for the suffering of the poor became more active, and more indiscreet in its manifestations, as the Revolution drew near. I have read circulars sent out by provincial assemblies at the beginning of 1788 to the inhabitants of parishes inviting them to give a detailed account of their grievances.” (p. 185) Here then is precisely the same discrepancy between the degree

of grievance and the readiness to revolt that my colleague has observed. Let’s see how de Tocqueville explains it:

“It was precisely in those parts of France where there had been most improvement that popular discontent ran highest. This may seem illogical-but history is full of such paradoxes. For it is not always when things are going from bad to worse that revolutions break out. On the contrary, it ottener happens that when a people which has put up with an oppressive rule over a long period without protest suddenly finds the government re- laxing its pressure, it takes up arms against it. Thus the social order overthrown by a revolution is almost always better than the one immediately preceding it, and experience teaches us that, generally speaking, the most perilous moment for a bad government is one when it seeks to mend its ways. . . . Patiently endured so long as it seemed beyond redress, a grievance

comes to appear intolerable once the possibility of removing it crosses men’s minds. For the mere fact that certain abuses have been remedied draws attention to the others and they now appear more galling; people may suffer less, but their sensibility is exacerbated.” (p. 176-7 ; emphasis added. )

De Tocqueville’s answer to my colleague’s question raises new and problematic ones. What is the response to be by the power- holders when challenged with revolt? One cannot very well expect them to just whither away. Are they to reduce their efforts at reform? Are they to continue the efforts, but refuse to submit to threats and show force instead? Or are they to seek accomodations, even at the risk of being overthrown? President de Gaulle has made his choice and seems to have stopped, for the time being at least, the advent of a new French Revolution.

If liberals and radicals do not favour such an outcome in their own struggles with power it behooves them to confront the theoretical problems without dependence on political dogmas. Whether the professional sociologists have the answers for them is uncertain, but as the Poor People’s Campaign indicates, there are also indigenous sociologists who are hammering out the pattern pragmatically.

A revolutionary situation arises when a society (be it a country or a university) is ill at ease with itself and when established val- ues, legitimacy and authority are being questioned.

Students at Simon Fraser, Columbia, the Sorbonne and many other universities are for the first time posing questions in the context of a genuine power offensive.

At Simon Fraser administrative incompetence, infringement on faculty perogatives, and an articulate student leadership combined to start the offensive.

Each outbreak acts as a stimu- lus for others elsewhere. Think- ing students gain courage from the success and audacity of their fellows, and learn from their mistakes.

At Columbia, disenchantment with the governors, especially with their complete control over academic matters, aroused the faculty. Students had long com- plained about the university’s indifference to the situation a- round it, especially its role as a slum landlord and its partici- pation in defence research. This produced the confrontation.

It has been clearly shown that it is not enough to debate the questions and formulate answers. Real action must be taken.

Rut real action is unlikely at Waterloo.

Our authorities succeed in avoiding any head-on confrontations. They concede in a limited way in order to avoid fundamental issues.

In France, student demands for reform in university structures and curricula led to a recognition that arrogant and authoritarian attitudes of the Gaullist

Wufson attacks -cunadiun TV treutm&it of public affairs

President Hagey chugged a beer for the crowd, engineers met their mascot: an eight-foot pipe- wrench, Newfie U’s first dean of engineering told newfie jokes and CBC producer Patrick Wat- son told dirty jokes that was engineering night for summer 68.

Angus Bruneau, who has finished at Waterloo as director of general engineering studies, is first dean of engineering at Mem- orial University in St. Johns’. He was made an honorary member of the engineering Society when he finished his jokes.

Bruneau was followed by guest speaker Patrick Watson, CBC producer and an adjunct professor in poli-sci at Waterloo last year. informed the crowd he’d been asked to give a speech of dirty jokes. He said, “Any responsible person would soon be up to their neck in shit if they did anything like that.” He did.

Watson did get around to discus sing Canadian broadcasting however. “It’s an institution in great trouble,” he said. “Prog- ramming is 75 percent crap right off the top. Even the small percent of programming which is news and public affairs -is 75 percent crap. ”

“Public affairs is bathed in a great mass of respectability and its boring. It only pretends to deal with controversv.”

He said Canadians feel a sup- eriority to the U.S. and a smug generosity to the poor “We have no idea of the extent of poverty in our own country.

“Little of broadcasting is up- setting. Include newspapers and magazines too. They all tend to reinforce the same old ideas about our society, especially the advertising.”

He noted this gave rise to the underground press, but that it reaches an audience that is already convinced there is something wrong w.ith the society.

Specifically on broadcasting, he noted”, we used to have a public broadcasting system. But, the CBC is starved now-by moving into color, Expo 67 and expansion into the developing areas of Canada.

“Money is being taken from programming and what programming funds there are go for things that will attract ads. CTV is in even worse shape for good programs.”

Watson also pointed out that a good public affairs program will waste much of the prepared material. “This is necessary in order to get movement, preci- sion and the power to provoke. YOU just can’t run something because it was done and it cost money.”

The host of the ill-fated ‘This hour has seven days’lhad a solu- tion. He proposed pooling the resources and geography of the two networks to produce one good program on our life in Canada, and not just to run on Sundays but every night.

“Cooperation between CBC and CTV like there is currently over the great debate should continue all the time.

“It would be a vital force in Canadian life free from politics -but only if the country demands it. It will open opportunity; seek out injustice, explore the nature of change. This is one .way to find out where we’re at.”

“You don’t have to take the bullshit lying down”, said Pat- rick Watson, guest speaker at Thursday’s engineering night. Watson told the audience they didn’t have‘ to suffer lousy Canadian Politics, television, fbod and education. ~, Presented by the FEDERATION of STUDENTS of the

Engineering weekend will be its usual- exciting self this summer.

The imaginative planners of the June 21-23 weekend have come up with a unique twist on the mini-skirt fad. -

The thi-high, mini-skirt dance on Friday June 21 features the Prophet. Admission for guys is one dollar, for girls one dollar minus ten cents for every inch their skirt is above the knee.

The early-morning car rally begins at 8 am and finishes in time for the annual sewer

bowl game. The sewer bowl is awarded to the loser of the faculty-undergrad baseball game. Faculty have been consistent winners of the sewer bowl.

Earl Ray and, his orchestra provide the music for Saturday ‘night’s semi-formal “Oasis.” The dance is in the grub shack, 8:30- 12: 30. As an extra, added attraction all couples will have their photograph taken by a professional for free.

For those who survive Friday and Saturday there’s a beach bash Sunday at Holiday beach, rain or shine. Class of ‘69 is or- ganizing the bash.

The water sports include log rolling and canoe jousting. If you don’t want to I participate there’ll be plenty of sun and

booze (strictly BYOB.) Admis- sion is one dollar per couple.

Tickets for engineering weekend are available from engsoc reps and will be sold at noon in the engineering foyer June 10-21.

Summer elections cancelled due to stud&t apathy

Election fever may be raging across Canada but it missed the University of Waterloo. Four student council seats were acclaimed last week and one is still open.

The three engineering seats were filled by Pete Huck, civil 2B, Dave Parsons, chemical 3A , and Bill Fish, civil 2B. John Clinkett, lB, was acclaimed in architecture. No nominations were received for the co-op math seat.

Hu& is presently Village council president.

Dave Parsons is active in EngSoc and is helping to organize engineering weekend.

Fish ‘has been EngSoc treasurer for the last year and has been active in EngSoc activities.

Nominations are still open for the math seat.
