Pro-tern academic vicepresident

Minus now num The pro-tern administration of

the University of Waterloo is digging in for a long interim. On july 1, arts dean Jay Minas be- comes pro-tern academic vice- president for a term of at least a year.

Minas was chosen by interim administration president Howard Petch who announced his choice at an arts faculty council meet- ing tuesday.

,

The appointment was a rushed one_Minas apparently agreed to take the job sunday. By tuesday both the general group and the executive committee of arts council had agreed to a leave of absence from the arts deanship for Minas. Wednesday Minas was gone for a three-week vacation.

Minas will be number two in the pro-tern administration, and like Petch, he says he will return to his old position when a new ad- ministration president is found.

Speaking to the arts faculty council, Petch complained that the two jobs he now holds- administration president and ac- ademic vicepresident-were both fulltime before Gerry Hagey’s re- tirement. He also complained of having to cope with the responsibil- ities handled by Bill Scott until his premature departure from the pas- ition of provost (and dean of men ).

Petch added that his off-campus responsibilities, especially next fall and winter, would require two

days a week. He is member of the science council of Canada and fre- quently attends meetings in Ot- tawa.

Arts faculty council was told by Petch that a new administration president by September was all but impossible.

While the appointment of Minas was sudden, it was no surprise. Some faculty members

b&r two have been speaking of Petch’s increasing reliance on Minas for - help in decision-making ever since Petch became interim admin president in january.

The about-to-be vacant post of arts dean will be filled by election in the arts faculty. Speculation gives the edge to english prof Ken Ledbetter, who is- currently deputy dean of arts.

Where the powef lies - Those interested in the study

of power in high places will have some things to watch from the president’s council in the next 12 months.

The council is a high-level body advisory to the president and consists of the vicepresidents, deans and university treasurer. Although it is not a legitimate decision-making body (in the sense that it is defined in the un- iversity act), the president’s coun- cil usually considers and ‘approves all university projects, programs and development.

This is greatly facilitated by ability of the members to change hats and become the university budgets committee, which they al- so constitute.

In September only four of the nine at present on the council will be here. The chairs of the deans will be filled by five new

men, one a new dean and four in acting dean capacity.

Science’s new dean W.B. Pear- son takes over from Pete Mc- Bryde july 1, the same time as prof Lynn Watt (electrical en- gineering ) becomes acting grad- uate-studies dean for George Cross and arts also gets an acting dean.

September 1 will see statistics and chemistry prof William Forbes as acting math dean for David Sprott and them eng prof D.S. Scott taking over for engineering dean Archie Sherbourne for a year. Sherbourne will be on leave at the University of the West In- dies. Sprott and Cross will be on sabbatical.

Experience on the council will lie with interim adminis- tration president Howard Petch, acting academic vicepresident Jay Minas, operations vicepres- ident Al Adlington and treasurer Br_uce Gellatly .

Council approves ous withcfruwal

The Federation of Students has dropped out of the Ontario Union of Students, effective immediately.

The federation’s student council, meeting may 3, adopted the suggestion of its executive and president, Tom Patterson, and sevevered relations. Although many Ontario campuses have left the Canadian Union of Stu- dents in the past year, Wat- erloo is the first out of OUS.

Patterson, an OUS executive last year, blamed the ineffect- iveness of the union for Water- loo’s disenchantment. “OUS doesn’t do much,” he said, “Partly because the provincial base is a weak one. Little is achieved by the provincial lobby because they keep getting put off to the federal government. In turn the federal government claims it’s provincial business. ”

The leadership of OUS was not the problem. “They’ve done all they can,” Patterson said.

The council accepted Patt- erson’s claim that the whole

question of responsibility for areas of concern to students has to be dealt with by one union, which is neither “national” or “provincial” in character. “Provincial unions lead to provincialism,” he said:

Patterson denied that a tight budget passed recently was the reason for the withdrawal. How- ever the question was first raised when Patterson’s new executive was drafting the budget.

“There was $3300 for OUS and we started asking just what OUS was accomplishing.”

Patterson and his executive ’ are waiting to see what the pro- posed refounding convention of CUS will bring. “Council considered holding a referendum, but decided against it,” he said. “If we have a referendum on a revamped CUS, we may put the OUS question to the students then. Meanwhile we couldn’t hold a vote until October, which would screw up our budget and OUS’s too.”

some real talent on campus-the faculty engineers, that is.

Two classical concerts have been arranged to entertain dele- gates to the Canadian congress of applied mechanics (CANCAM ). Tickets will also be available to students, staff and faculty at the arts theater boxoffice.

On tuesday, twenty-three-year- old Spanish pianist Rafael Orozco makes his North American debut.

Orozco’s program consists of Mozart’s Sonata in A minor, Schuman’s Toccata and Scenes from childhood (opus 15), Proko- fiev’s Sonata no. 3 in A minor and

On Wednesday, the Orford String Quartet performs. They will ap- pear at the Stratford festival later this season.

On their Wednesday program are Haydn’s Quartet D minor (opus 76, no. 21, Ravel’s Quartet F major and Smetana’s Quartet (from my life).

Both concerts are in the arts theater and the CANCAM spon- sors are budgetng for a loss even with a full house.

Retired president G&y’ Hagey - was a special guest and he and

interim president Howard Petch .presented their ideas on the ideal president.

’ .Hagey said there are ten per- s‘onal characteristics the president should possess. These traits- which sound somewhat like those found in a boy scout manual-are: a sense of responsibility. fair- mindedness, a positive outlook, practicality, patience, considera- tion. persuasiveness. and under- standing of the universitv situa- tion in Canada and maybe in On-

Hagey and Petch agreed that the new president should be “academ- icalIg acceptable”. with admin- istrative experience equivalent to that of a dean.

Beauty is ,what you make of it. The campus center was made beautiful this week by* the addition of multi-colored posters for sale to the hordes. It is obvious however, that too many people in the. beautifying mood can get in their own, and each others way.

Students set up summer camp The job shortage this summer

may no longer be a problem for ten Waterloo students.

Along with others who will be helping out in their spare time, they are planning to establish an overnight summer camp on the north campus for public school children. ’ $ Fund-raising appears to be the ,main obstacle to the camp. Ap- proximately $15,000 is required to operate the camp for a nine- week period this summer, based on a minimum of 50 campers.

Assuming the money can be found, the group is proceeding with plans for the cam-p itself.

Situated on the undeveloped 750- acre north campus of the univer- sity, containing a man made 250- acre lake, Camp Columbia will operate for eight weeks during july and august. It will have a minimum capacity of 50 public- school-age campers, during each of the four two-week periods. Ad- ditional capacity will depend upon the success of the fund-raising campaign.

Accommodation will be provid- ed in tents for both/campers and staff with an overall ratio of one staff member for each five dam- pers. A program committee, con- sisting of u,nivkrsity students with a broad range of. camping experience, is already planning activities for the camp and is ‘en- listing the assistance of many specialists in various areas, from both the university and the sur- rounding community .

Full co-operation has been guar- anteed the camp by, the university in providing the site, supplying the camp with food, making its fac- ilities available and providing special resource people.

The organizers are hoping to develope a spirit of community among the campers by de-emhhasi- zing competition and emphasizing the value of co-operation. by in- volving the campers as much as possible in the day-to-day deci- sions at the camp; and minimizing the ’ use of, disciplines and overt authoritvin favor of group ii‘iscus- 1 sion of any problems which arise.

With.the failure of the economic situation to,’ provide meaningful summerjobs for many university ~, I

students, : there will be no diff- iculty recruiting competent,. ex- perienced staff for the camp.

Based on the projected ‘mini- mum of 50 campers. three or four students will, be employed during may and june, handling the myriad of details which make for a successful camp and’ doing in- tensive fund-raising in the twin cities.

,, Ten students will work full time at the camp during july and august, as counsellors, swimming instruc- tors and supervisors, craft and field trip supervisors and business agents, and organizing food-serv- ing and maintenance.

Rick Paige and Ross Taylor were appointed at a recent meet-

ing to select personnel for the camp.‘-’

One of the initiators, Brian Iler. said. “Besides the usual summer camp program. we hope to attract faculty members such as biologists. historians and anthropolgists. whose specialties or hobbies might be of interest to the campers: The resources now lying dormant at the university each summer pre- sent all sorts of fantastic opportun- ities for the camp. ”

The group would prefer child- ren who otherwise would not have a chance to go to camp. :

The project is aimed at putting some reality into the rhetoric a- bout the university being a com- munity resource. I

Free uds net few iobs The Record had allowed the The student action ads in the

Kitchener-Waterloo Record have been of little assistance to stud- ents seeking summer jobs. +

Interviews early this week with students who had placed ads indi- cated little favor with the results. In the majority of cases where students had been able to get jobs it was as a result of their own in- itiative. A few students had ac- cepted jobs as a result of the ads.

A reply typical pf many was from a third-year geography stu- dent: “The calls which came were for construction work or book- selling. I applied in Galt for field work in geography but the budget had been reduced and I was re- fused. ” His final ‘comment, like many, was b*I’ll probably be able to return to university in the fall. but I got my job due to an inside contact at the place.”

Many of the girls contacted mentioned a phone call from a COS-

metic company as well as a few calls for babysitting jobs, Both these offers were usually refus- ed.

Thus many students had re- ceived calls, some as many as ten. but the positions offered were mainly unacceptable. , . . * .,

ads to run for three days without cost. A representative of the paper has said “I expect the service to end by mid-may.” Contrary to an article ‘in the Record student services in the area are not ‘in demand’, ‘-

The papers action to assist the iY students with free ads is a posi- - tive measure. However any ben- eficial results seem remote at this time.

oh horrofs! a byelection ! .

There will be an election wed- nesday. june 11 to choose. four representatives to student council. The spring term engineers will fill three seats. and the co-op math students will fill one.

Next wednesdav may 21. the ‘\ nominations will’ open for one week, and the exciting campaign speeches. election promises, and _ baby-kissing will follow.

Nomination forms are available from Helga Petz in the federation office. ._ .

The opening bid gives north a problem. His hand is too strong to bid 3S, and 4S asks partner to pass. The 3D bid is a temporiz- ing bid, to allow him to see what south will bid. North’s bid of 5S, after three suits have been bid. asks south to bid the slam if he has a .control in the fourth suit. On this hand, south does have the heart suit controlled, and bids KS.

The slam depends on the way the declarer plays the diamond suit. After drawing trumps, most ’ declarers will lead a diamond to the A and then lead a small one from dummy. When .east plays lw the declarer will have to guess whether to play the Q or the 9.

The declarer does not have to make this guess if he plays the diamond suit the correct way. Declarer should lead the Q .of diamonds from his hand and if west covers, declarer will lose only one diamond trick. If the Q loses to the K. the declarer wins the re- turn, and leads a diamond to the 10 dummy.

This method of play wins 75 percent of the time. but declarer can only guess correct& about 50 percent of the time.

Due to a printer’s error, East’s hand in last weeks column was incorrect. The correct hand is:

Well, it was really nice to see a few people using the new non- explosive bonfire pedestal down near Laurel Lake during our typically brief summer. PPandP is also, providing wood which is kept dry in a home better than most people in this world have.

lungs and throat, fatal to match mites and above all hard on the Zippo people.

The pedestal has been a long time coming. Back on 24 august, 1964. a memo was sent to Bill Lob- ban suggesting such an erection, in approximately the same area. The reply, dated seven days la- ter. agreed that it was a good idea. This would also be in sympathy with the balmy clime suggested for Waterloo by the PPandP’s pur: suance of pastoral settings.

And I would like to remind’ PP andP that students are very likely to sympathize with ‘jani- tors, with their wierd hours and poor pay (about 25’ ; lower than their brothers at Conestoga Col- lege. ) This is probably due to the weak. ineffective. perhaps detrimental union, CUPE.

Xnywav, the reply stated that part of the Village development (which was then almost ready) included in the now treeless, wildlifeless moors. provisions for several outdoor activi- ties. including cook-outs, drama and music, and that the writer had concluded this would be a better place for such a pedestal. And he added that there was no reason that such installations could not be included.

Almost five years later. we have possibly a safe prototype of a simple, concrete slab. with hopefully no air bubbles. How much did it cost? I don’t know. but I hope it’s used.

Perhaps we could use it as a gathering place for the whole com- munity. then all the potheads wouldn’t have to keep lighting matches.

Janitors have difficulty getting overtime. and aren’t likely to gripe when the extra needed money is at stake.

And then the muck-and-mow boys are pretty underpaid too. Two bucks an hour is underpaid for the guys who brave snow and sunburn to be the pawns in giant game of musical trees. In case you haven’t heard of musical trees. it is a refinement of the old PPandP time--killer of musical parking lots.

The pat on the back this week also goes to PPandP for the new inter-squad games now being played on the bible belt. One team is called the- Gophers. They dig all kinds _ of groovv holes. Soon it is the Hedgehogs turn, and they come out and stick , live sticks in the ground. The- score is determined by the’num- ber of students who fall into ‘the holes ,! two points for a broken leg). versus the number who run <into the new trees (two points for a bloody nose. three for a broken one ).

We are being exploited by the barons of professional sport. The least we should get is bush-league salaries.

I F MEMBERS ‘of the personnel depart- ment are actually hiring secretarial and clerical staff at the level of intelli- gence indicated by their recently-distrib-

uted secretary’s manual, then it is time to take a long, hard look at the competency of that de- partment.

If, however, the secretaries being hired are not utterly lacking in common sense. then it is quite obvious the personnel staff requires signifi- cantly more experience and training in recogniz- ing the areas which such a manual should cover.

- ~~~ Carbon-paper comes in one hun- dred sheets a box, divided into four equal packets of twenty-five.

It does not list abbreviations or commonly mis- spelled words. Neither does it deal with gram- mar nor the correct procedure for word division. It does not inform the inexperienced and un- trained secretary of the rules of punctuation.

It does, however, advise that “carbon-paper comes in one hundred sheets a box, divided into four equal packets of twenty-five. “-essential information if the secretary is paranoic about being screwed by the carbon-paper people.

The introduction is written either by or for a child who has not progressed beyond public school. (“If you are a newcomer you are bound to have many questions. This handbook will ans- wer many of them. Anytime you do not find the answer here, do not hesitate to ask your supervisor or contact the personnel department.” )

It concludes with, “If you have any suggestions - regarding information which might be included

in our next printing. please send such informa- tion to the personnel department.” Could this possibly mean they intend to do it again?

Part one is entitled You and Your Job, and con- tains, among other equally groovy bits of informa-

- tion. sections on Poise and Grooming. Filing for Future Use. and You and Your Typewriter-the last of which suggests some sort of unnatural relationship.

The introduction to part one reiterates that “we do hope to be of some- help to you as you learn your job. and the information which vou will find here will answer many of your questions. Any- time you do not find the answer. do not hesitate to ask your supervisor, or other staff members. All are happy to help.”

At this point one must concede the manual did indeed provide assistance-a warning to all newly-appointed secretaries to avoid the per- sonnel department. since obviously the belief is that secretaries are idiots.

The first section of You and Your Job contains two pages of information concerning universitv buildings which has been taken verbatim from the university calendar. along with a campus map which also appears in the calendar.

If you are a newcomer you are bound to have many questions. This handbook will answer many of them.

This is followed by a page headed Organization Chart for the University of Waterloo, and which contains the following message. “Now being re- vised. To be forwarded as soon as possible.

Page 7, “on working at the university,” offers little other than cliches (“Think of yourself as a member of a team. ” ), untidy syntax and the inevit- able paternalistic writing style.

The following section-all four pages of it- ON “poise and grooming” will appear suspicious- ly familiar to any girl who has attended home eco- nomics classes in highschool.

It is also evident the editor did not adhere to the advice she gave on the previous page-to carefully proofread a letter for mistakes-since a glaring spelling error appears.

It is in this portion of the manual the secre- tary is advised-provided she has had the stam- ina to read this far-to “shop for better clothes- ones that are made from good materials”, and to “invest more money in the accessories that get the most wear-shoes and handbags.” The editor neglected to take into consideration the fact that the average Uniwat secretary is underpaid.

In addition to offering suggestions on how to spend our salaries, this little gem also tells us how to spend our spare time. “Each evening, check the clothes you have worn. Note any repairs that must be made; if they can’t be made immedi- ately, set the garment aside for later attention,” and what type of iron to purchase. “With a good steam iron, you can give woollens a professional- looking pressing. ”

Wash foundation garments and rinse out stockings after each wearing. in gentle suds and warm, not hot, water.

The virtues of coin-operated dry-cleaning machines are extolled: directions are given for washing girdles, brassieres and stockings: we are told to dutifully remove hair from underarms and legs and to occasionally change our deodorant brand.

But, by god. we aren’t told not to split infinitives! The editor presumes to be knowledgeable in

the opinions of others-“Remember. the most ap- pealing faces are those that have a fresh. natural look. Cosmetics should be used to achieve this look, not to destroy it.“-and all in the inevitable. paternalistic writing style.

Under Poise and Grooming is a page and a half dedicated to “Your personal image.” In this sub- section. we are encouraged to be empathetic

although “It is true that you cannot put your per- sonality aside and take on another, any more than you can jump out of your skin,” and to learn to like the girl who has ‘a ‘cold, abrupt manner”. Presumably this will increase our typing speed and efficiency.

A bath or shower should be a natural part of everyone’s daily routine.

The poise and grooming section concludes with, “It is necessary that you understand your im- portance and that you carry out the responsibili- ties assigned to .you to the best of your ability, striving for a greater sense of awareness and sen- sitivity to the needs of those whom you serve.”

In other words, kiddies, do as the boss tells you and keep your mouth shut. And above all, don’t think for yourself.

We now progress to Interoffice Correspond- ence.

“Interoffice communications at the University of Waterloo are commonly known as ‘memor- anda’ or ‘memos’.” This is followed by detailed descriptions which seem to comply with the know- ledge we attained during our initial commercial training in highschool (“Carbon copies are made on onion skin paper. ” ) .

Very explicit instructions are detailed with respect to the handling of interoffice envelopes “Staple or turn in the flap to close.” Surprisingly. we are not told to grasp the stapler firmly in our right hand (or left, whichever feels the most natur- al). hold directly over the area to which we wish the staple to be fastened. grasp firmly until sta- ple is released from stapler. release pressure, and return stapler to original position.

The personnel department leaves nothing to chance. Transmittal slips (those little green slips with spaces to fill in “to”. “from” and “please pass on to”) are explained thoroughly. complete with a reproduced sample and a notation that they are to be stapled to the enclosure.

It is at this point one expects the following para- graphs to deal with advice on how to use the wash- room facilities-insert 5-cent piece in appropriate slot, turn handle with right hand. remove pack- age from machine. open package by tearing card- board end flap. . . .

The inevitable writing style is maintained in the Outgoing Correspondence information.

.

Carbon copies are made on onion skin paper.

We are even given the brand name of the pap- er ( “the stationery is Weldonmere bond” ), we are again informed that onion skin paper is used for producing carbon-copies (in the event we missed

And we still haven’t been told to avoid dangling participles.

typing notices of meetings, agenda and minutes and sample copies, but also another spelling error, as well as the use of a singular subject with a plural verb, and incorrect punctuation. Part 3 provides a form for a detailed Job des-

cription with advice on the manner in which it is to be completed. for use if it becomes neces- sary to replace the secretary suddenly. And here you are advised to include such personal matters as how your employer likes his coffee and if fetch- ing sandwiches or cigarettes for him is neces- sary.

Some of the more common symbols for proof cor- rection are shown, and suggested manuals for manuscript typing. ’ Included are the symbols for insertion of commas, periods and question marks. Most of these symbols are easily recognizable without _ the explanation; however, it is possible that they could be of some value.

The Filing For Future Use section includes such goodies as: “Name filing: Name filing in- volves filing material under the name of an indi- vidual or company. ”

The You and Your Typewirter section warrants a table of contents page, followed by instructions which have reached the height of abstirdity.

The page is 32, and I suggest you obtain some- one’s copy for confirmation, because you will not take my word for this one. A better way to avoid using these symbols is to

check all work carefully before it is submitted. Here again, the editor would have accomplished something had she included the basic fundamen- tals of good grammar, punctuation etc., rather than the symbols to be used in correcting errors. ’

Page 17 consists of a listing of the forms available from central stores. A listing of these forms is also available in the central stores catalog (which is supplied to each department).

One and one half pages are devoted to a listing of reference materials of dubious value (included is the Uniwat telephone directory, with’ instruc- tions on usage and the Chevron) followed by four pages of ‘telephone manners and methods which have been condensed from “win friends by the telephone”, published by the Bell telephone comp- any, and obviously directed to children under 12 years of ag&

Sample : “Greet the caller pleasantly. Sound as if you are pleased the caller has telehhoned. Use the caller’s name (people like to hear the

%ound of their own names).” And: “Your lips should be about a half inch from the telephone mouthpiece. ”

Be sure of the number. If un- certain of a number, check be- fore dialing and then dial the number carefully.

And if that isn’t sufficient to ma.ke you properly ill. how about: “Be sure of the number. If uncer- tain of a number, check before dialing and then dial the number carefully.”

An apparent inadvertent omission is instructions on the method of placing your finger in the little holes in the dial.

Finally comes the real clincher: on page 24 (check it). is a sample of a completed telephone call slip (the kind where you fill in the to-from-date- time blanks ). And as if this isn’t enough of an in- sult, the items to be completed on the form are al- so listed (“the name of the person whom the mes- sage is for, the date and time of the phone call.. .” )

Do you know how your employ- er likes his coffee? Does he ever ask you to pick up a sandwich for iunch? Or cigarettes?

“The art of being a good secretary consists al- most entirely of getting your employer exactly what he wants without inconveniencing him.”

It is skh-r-mts such as these, which appear all too frequently, that are frightening to any think- ing person.

Whatever happened to personal opinion? Are we to presume that, in order to be a “good” secre- tary, we should follow blindly any and all orders from a superior, regardless of whether or not we agree?

Does not the art of being a good secretary consist also of indicating errors of judgement which are perceived, and the possible repercus- sions?

To instruct an inexperienced secretary to mere- ly follow orders is to create a university staff of mindless beings who are capable of doing exactly as instructed and no more.

The art of being a good secretary consists of being sufficiently intelligent and capable of offer- ing constructive criticism.

The art of being a good secretary consists of presenting viewpoints contrary to those held by your superior, and presenting them in an intelli- gent manner.

The art of being a good secretary consists of broadening your education by reading and learn- ing.

The art of being a good secretary consists, most of all, of thinking.

It is tragic that the personnel department feels this activity should be suppressed.

I of the Before you start, be sure your typewriter cord iS plugged in. Turn typewriter on.

The first sub-heading under You and Your Typewriter is How to Use Your Typewriter. Then: &‘Before you start: (a) be sure your type- writer cord is plugged in: (b) turn typewriter on.“.

Following a beginning as utterly stupid as that, the remainder of the section appears less ludicrous.

The entire ten pages of “You and your typewri- ‘ter“ is either elementary information which one acquires during the first typing lesson in highschool or business college, or which is con- tained in the booklets supplied by typewriter man-

ufacturers with each machine, and therefore a- vailable to all clerical staff.

Example : instructions for removing paper from the typewriter.

Correct Use of Carbon Paper is a page and a half of more paternalism.

This cbnstitutes the manual’s first section, YOU and Your Job: forty-one pages of drivel, tri- via, insults and garbage.

* * * Section 2, on the other hand, actually contains

useful information, albeit in small portions. It also contains a grammar error on the intro-

ductory page. Here we are given a listing of the various uni-

versity services, their locations and functions, a- long with myriad sample forms.

NO doubt the information would be of assistance to new staff members, but only if however it pre- sented in a concise, readable manner.

Of 61 ‘pages, 23 are fill-in-the-blanks forms with the blanks filled in. The editor, ineidently, missed one blank that would have caused the form to be returned to the sender.

This hassle hurts; give me time to love it all better

An open letter to-to everyone?- to no one?

A letter from a liberal? Radical? Conservative? An apathetic blob?

Labels confuse me-so do dog- mas. People don’t: people are what its all about-I hope!

Saxe-I respect you; you are right, very right; but I cannot a- gree with you because you are also very, very, wrong!

Reality is not Marxist! Reality is not conservative! Reality is people ! People

RSM stands for Regimental Sergeant Major; only his uniform is a different color and his pas- sion flows with my blood on the battlefield; and the people are just as dead and I don’t give a damn what the tyrant’s name is, he’s still a tyrant. General Motors was a war hero-he drove the last tank that lost another war.

Marx, Lenin, Che Guevara- you offer me no alternative-you offer me more of the same shit! Only you’ll engrave my name on the scalpel you’ll use for my lobotomy, and that scalpel will be made by the same company as was the one they tried to cast- rate me with.

’ It’s wonderful how the wisdom of the masses, after they have been suitably educated, will create and succor Gutama, Christ and Mo- hammad! ,How the people’s state will create Bacon, Galileo, New- ton and Einstein! Wonderful how the people will lead, how the sheep will all become wolves and the wolves will have no enemies more cunning, nor will ‘one wolf be more cunning than another.

Yes Levitt, Patterson and Stan- ley-you perhaps do correctly perceive the mould this plastic uni- versity is slowly being poured into.

Yes, Petch, you see their mould * as well, stamped with a different

name-same mould.

And, Stewart, do you also see the political spectrum as a thin line connecting the Wonderful World of White Marx through a grey interior, to the Big Black Bull- moose. May I submit there may be another dimension: the spec- trum may be colored; these col- ors, like light recombined, may together better illuminate the world for human eyes. That, per- haps, a part of the job of the uni- versity is to look for these colours, to define the new dimension, to think new thoughts.

Like converts to decadent faiths you ritually worship the putrid bodies of dead religious forms that are your ultimate truths. How many ways can one book be interpreted, or the thought of a man distorted?

What has happened to the quest for truth? To the courage to think new thoughts? To the guts to try new forms of change?

And in the battle lines that seem to be forming I must be a draft- dodger from both sides. Billboards carried on long poles, and bill- boards beside highways are equal- ly hideous. I have no time to scream from board rooms or pick- et lines. I know of a person some- where, but I don’t know his name, that I can help-to whom I can give some relief from misery ; and when I have helped him there is another; there is another, another, another. . . .

And the effects will be small. and it will go almost unnoticed: and because of this I will succeed. And change will come and it will come slowly and because of this. it will succeed.

Change will come and it will

come sJowJy- but it will probably

be too late. Not if everyone felt the

same human values as you do; but

it is all too clear that they don’t.

Marx didn’t write just one book

and he isn’t the only socialist or

humanist philosopher.

The essential thing to note is

that the RSM is not highly organ-

ized or in any way militaristic.

If the radidals were any less or-

ganized their gaze would not get

past their navels.

The old left spoke of paramili-

tary organization as essential to

bring about a revolution. That is

probably why the resulting states

were not really marxist. The new

left shuns all forms of militarism

and strives for a revolution of

people, not armies-and one that

can bring change in time.

While there is no great cons-

piracy among the social and econ-

omic elites of our society, it is still

true that Dow Chemical is not a

bunch of groovy guys that just

happened to find themselves to-

gether and decide to make napalm

and find a use and market for it.

The result-and you can hold no

individual responsible-is a soci-

ety bent on destruction.. by over-

pollution, overpopulation or nuclear

overkill. No one man-however

humanly motivated-can change

that by himself.

Chevron goes to cat house- sterile occupant dislikes

Lately I have been taking the Chevron back to my apartment to read and the cat I have has been quite attracted to the paper.

As soon as she gets the Chevron, she attacks it quite varaciously, tears it up into tiny little bits, and then she eats it.

After that, she runs to her box and barfs. She is a very well-train- ed cat. P.S.-The cat is also a spay.

As for the London demonsir- a t&n, this is the first time the error of figures has been pointed out. We did some checking and found the story was filed by a reasonably competent, independent reporter to Canadian Ufiiversity Press for distribution to members.

To meet our deadlines, it had to be sent from London hastily. A more accurate update was not

. wired to the Chevron because it would have been too late. The update was sent later in a mailed news package, but the correction was missed.

CUP’s reporter did not have time to consult official sources on the size of the march to meet that first deadline. Early press re-

ports in Canada also varied greatly -between 5,000 and 75,000. *75; 000.

It is irideed our mistake not to correct the figures in a following issue, but the Canadian dailies could not agree either on the size of the demonstrations.

friday, may 76, 1969 (1O:Z) 27 9

-- A MEXICAN COLLEGES AND universities have become key components of contemporary capitalism.

’ They are an outstanding instance of the way in which the econ- mic system-the “base” -has become integrated with the

political, social, and cultural institutions-the “superstructure’‘i-of _ f;he corporation state. This integration is nowhere more evident than in --the training functions of the mass education system.

‘The growth of capitalism in the present ‘period depends upon the ,-availability of a large, highly skilled, technical-scientific labor force. No onecorporation can afford to train its own labor force for there is no way to insure that its investment, once trained, will not seek employment elsewhere.

The costs *of training therefore have to be socialized. American colleges and. un-

~ iversities: subsidized bv government- collected taxes, ‘have taken on- the social function of - training. skilled personnel and developing knowledge for the needs of advanced capitalism. Far from merely “serving corporate capitalism” by p o- viding occasional research and consult- ing services. the universities have be- come a basic point of production. ’

Acc@leration and . < _ J productioil

I In the United States today there are two

important features of the capitalist mode of droduction: the acceleration of technological change; and the emer- gence of technical knowledge as a factor of production.

- _ 2 1. With the overall rhythm of technolo- gical change accelerated. the life span of fixed capital (plant and equipment) is shortened, labor skills rapidly be- come redundant, and rationalization at the point of production is increased.

These tendencies have a number ,of causes; competition for markets between industrial finance groups: annual model and style changes of commodities: built- in commodity obsolescence : poli tical-mil- itary competition between the U.S. and the Soviet Union: tax laws favoring ac- celerated depreciation of plants and ‘eqquipment ; and the availability of eheap technical-scientific labor power.

With the emergence of technical know- Eedge as a necessary factor of produc- tion, economic growth increasingly de- . pends more on the quality of labor power and machinery and less on the absolute number of men and machines in produc- tion.

Skilled. technical labor power replaces simple labor power.’ and the knowledge of the work force becomes a fundamen- tally important productive factor. This is widely recognized bg corporate economists and administrators. the former in their literature on “invest- ment in human capital.” the latter in

I their reference to the university as part j of the .-knowledge industry.”

The .relationship between the accelera- tion of technological change and the emergence of technical knowledge as a factor of production is basically simp- le. The constant creation of new com-

a modities. alterations of old commodities. redesign of equipment. reorganization

“- of work processes. and research and de- velopment in new productive processes require a constantlv expanding techni-

cal-scientific labor force. The existence of this labor force. trained by the universities under the *guidance of the state and at the expense of the working class as a whole (via tax exploitation ). in turn makes the creation of new com- modities. redesign of equipment. etc.. ’ more profitable.

Because the state. not the individual corporation. takes financial responsib- ilitv for university-trained labor and university-developed technology, the element of risk for individual corpora- tions is virtually eliminated. As a result. productivity and production can be rais- ed to a level hitherto unimaginable.

International . conglomerates

Because science and technology are basically social in nature-they cannot be owned and controlled like a machine -private corporations and indeed in- dividual countries have met with great difficultv in their attempts to monopolize these new productive forces They can- not limit the diffusion of technical knowl- edge to even the capitalist world, much less to special interests within it..

To tighten control over these. enter the new multi-national conglomerate corporations. And with this broadened form of organization they have developed a framework for rationalizing the use of technological resources to maximize profits.

However, the social character of scien- tific and technical knowledge means that ultimately no private form of business organization can completely contain and control it. For this know- ledge to contribute to the benefit of the corporations, the intervention of the state is needed.. In effect. a form of state capitalism must accompany the growth of the corporate conglomerate.

, There are four ways in which the state can and’ has intervened in the corporate economy. In each role the state uses the socialized product of the university: technical and administrative knowledge.

First. industrial-financial interests use state power to socialize the costs of production-in particular. the costs of transforming raw labor power into technical-scientific labor power. the costs of retraining workers and the costs of research and development. Funds are required bv the state through public taxation. transformed into college and u’niversitv facilities. and used to .purch- ase training personnel and to subsidize the industrial trainees.

Colleges and universities are thus

not merely integral to the production process. but constitute another point of production. increasing& controlled. while not owned, bv the corporate bour- geoisie as a whole.

, Second. these interests use state pow- er not only to socialize costs. but also to ’ subsidize demand. The- development of science and technology has reached the stage at which all economic needs can potentially - be easily ’ satisfied. Commodity demand based on real econo- mic needs rises only slowly. or not, at all.

Socially necessarv labor steadily de- clines. Consequentlv. corporations are compelled to lay out larger and’ larger portions of profits on selling, expenses. especial& packaging. model changes. style changes. product differentiation. and forced commodity obsolescence. in order to ma.intain and expand the vol- ume of demand bv discouraging savings.

Use-value and waste >A In short, - commodities contain both

use-values and waste; economic waste increasingly replaces use-values. and socially unnecessary labor, (that which produces waste ) replaces socially nec- essary labor (that which produces use- value 1.

To acquire use-values to meet economic needs. the working classes are compelled to consume waste-that is. pav for the expense of selling. The interpenetration of sales expenses and production costs. or waste and use-values. is the basic method employed bv business to main- tain the level of demand.

As points of merchandizing as well as points of production, colleges and uni- versities help subsidize demand by ac- celerating the accumulation of waste.

They are proving grounds for new marketing ideas. new products. new brands of “full employment” economics. etc. The activities of these “marketing departments” range from market re- search courses. home economics depart- ments and seminars in Keynesian econ- omics. to the art and industrial design schools which mobilize and apply crea- tive talent to the latest problems of pro- duct design and packaging.

Third. the state has had to further embed itself’ in the corporate economy to help control the social risks resulting from its first two roles. The develop- ment of science and technology and the abundance- of capital has led carp- orations to employ a capital-intensive technology despite the existing relative abundance of unskilled labor.

From the standpoint of the corporations it is more rational to combine technical- scientific labor power with capital-inten- sive technology than to combine simple labor power with labor-intensive tech- nologies. for the costs of training techni-

, Cal-scientific labor power are met -by taxation falling on the population at large.

Ranks of unsktiled It is this system which has produced

a large and growing stratum of unskilled. untrained workers. many of them black. who have never had industrial work experience and never will. This *-post-industrial” proletariat does not

constitute a reserve army of the unem- proved because it does not compete with the ‘*technical-scientific“ proletariat.

Unemployed. under-employed. and em- ploved in menial jobs in the private and state sectors of the economy. these workers. particularly the younger ones. have become increasingly politicized.

In black organizations. poor peoples associations. unions and welfare rights leagues. this group is politically in motion and constitutes a “social problem of the -first order for the corporation state.

The colleges and universities. in this case functionally inseparable from the state bureaucracy. are thus more and more ,preoccupied with questions -of “social stability.” “law and order.” ‘social reform.” and so-on. The behav: ioral’ sciences. sociology. social psvchol: 0gy. economics. and other academic fields are oriented to “solving“ pressing social problems’.’ via the development of more refined instruments of social control and social discipline.

r-‘

?.

Finally the state is employed at every step in the accumulationof capital a- broad: in the acquisition of raw mater- ials. the creation of investment oppor- tunities. the creation of cheap labor havens. ’ and ‘the stabilizaiion of inter- national banking centers.

The state guarantees fore&h invest- ments. . stabilizes monetary systems under the reign of the dollar. provides the economic infrastructure for priv- ate investments with public funds. sub- sidizes exports, bribes local client bour- geoisies and. military groups. creates 1 favorable tariff agreements. controls - world commodity organizations. and Lo general& exercises economic. j3olitical. and military control over unstable areas ( i.e.. all underdeveloped areas ).

Imperialist rule The role of the colleges and universi-

ties in IJS. economic and political pol- icy abroad corresponds to their role in the local political economy. They are points of imperialist rule.

They develop and promote new wea- pons systems. new instruments of local. national. and international social con- trol.’ new approaches to international mar,keting problems. and new economic theories which promote the hegemony of American business over world re- sources.

As a whole. merefore. the colleges and universities constitute four great overlapping departments of the U.S. ruling class-they are points of produc-‘ tion. points of merchandizing. points of state bureaucratic social control. and points of imperialist rule. Most of the existing functions of colleges and unii versities fall into one or more of these categories.

To be sure. the smaller upper class liberal arts institutions still train gov- erning elites-this has been their his- torical function. But the really import- ant role of the universitv is to provide the kind of socialized technological- administrative skills outl’ined above. The colleges and universities therefore are not the service stations” of the corpor- ate system. but rather constitute a de- cisive and creative part of this system.

l One supposes that in the spring even a tree doesn’t mind the oc- casional walk in the park. How- ever, enough foliage is being up- rooted these days to worry Howie Petch-or anyone else-if he hap- pens to have a Macbeth complex about Burnam wood.

PPandP landscape workers don’t mind--they’re getting used to being pawns in a great green game of chess.

0 Over on a different board, PP andP’s janitors griped a bit about their role in the game of adminis-

trative pass-the-buck. Shit wages they accept, but not the shit. And some have told their bosses where, they can put the blame for PPandP’s bad image.

ches, taxpayers-we are in for another blow, if not a gale.

During the past week we have heard ominous rumblings, both from Queen’s Park in Toronto and Parliament Hill in Ottawa. Mr. Robarts is seriously consid- ering the severe cutting back of some provincial grants to muni- cipalities and in return giving the municipalities the power to levy municipal income taxes in lieu of municipal propertv taxes.

Prime minister Trudeau has made it clear that he is about to wield the axe on federal expendi- tures, especially in the areas of cost sharing, welfare programs such as the baby bonus and, pos- sibly, subsidy programs to some industries.

Put them altogether and they don’t spell mother, cousin. Thev spell increased taxation, de- creased services, and increased unemployment.

And if that is any way to bring about a just society and curb in- flation, then Monsieurs Robarts

and Trudeau certainly must know something we don’t.

And if they do, it’s about time they let us in on the revelation.

The simple fact is that both of these political leaders, to say nothing of most other politicians, are scurrying around attempting to cure symptoms, rather than get at the disease itself, and that disease is readily isolated.

It’s just pure and simple greed, caused largely by the virus of private monopoly-oriented capitalism, rather than publicly- oriented free and competitive enterprise.

The status-quo has got to go, and until our representatives in government at all levels realize this and start to take the neces- sary corrective procedures, we are in for nothing but increased inflation, increased unemploy- ment, increased misery.

We are running short of pain- killing pallia tives. Some major remedial surgery is called for.

R&!XIBB -

A study in bureaucracy J

We called the centerspread article on the administration’s secretary’s manual ‘the laugh of the century. ’ Unfortunately, only the unintentional humor in the manual is rare-the fault the man- ual exposes are all too plentiful.

Resistance to change >nd elite control of our society are not the result of a great conceived plot. Rather they are products of an environment that is becoming increasingly bureaucratic-and resultingly unfair.

Institutional inhumanity and Parkinsonian bureaucracy never . seem to change.

Parkinson has some clever say- ings about bureaucracy ex- panding faster than the operation it serves and second-rate bureau- crats who hire third-rate subor- dinates to protect their own jobs.

The secretary’s manual is somewhat typical of the things that keep an expanding bureau- cracy expanding. And the opin- ions of the group of senior secre- taries and administrative assist- ants that conceived the manual betray their ideas of how dumb they’d like their subordinates to be.

If the personnel department is hiring people who need such an elementary training manual, then someone better look at who’s hiring the personnel depart- ment. The university, with all its rhetoric, is one place that should- n’t be afraid to innovate within its own operation. That might be a form of relevant research.

* * * There was one obvious omis-

sion in the secretary’s manual: a section on Why you do not need a union.

Institutional inhumanity a- bounds in the manual’s patroniz- ing tone and the even more dom- ineering instructions.

Sell out. Sell your soul to the boss, and get promoted to senior secretary or administrative as- sistant.

Either those senior sell-outs have assuaged their consciences by explaining their positions as natural results of superior abil- ity, or they are just plain infer- ior-proving that the really superior s’ecretaries who won’t sell their souls don’t get promoted Or else leave to seek more human surroundings.

It could go something like this: Your boss, to whom vou are so dedicated,’ does not like unions. Look at vour pay envelope. Open it up. Look at the pay statement. Read it. Aren’t you glad vour pay. is so high? You are working in a wonderful academic environ- ment. That makes up for any ti- ny pay difference between you and any of your friends who work in less pleasant surroundings. A union would charge you high dues. Those dues would only go to support a bunch of useless office workers and administrators. You don’t need a bunch of of- fice workers and administrators, do vou? You wouldn’t want to sup- port something like that, would you?
