Telegdi still in power. .-

After 2 and a half hours of politi- cal haggling, the Federation of Students’ council decided Tues- day to table a motion calling for the resignation of federation presi- dent Andy Telegdi until a meeting to be held this Sunday.

Introduced by a report of the salaries and honouraria commit- tee, the motion called for the cut- ting out of “Andy Telegdi’s salary as of Oct. 30,,1974”, due to “per: sonality conflicts between Andy and members of the executive board.”

The “personality conflicts”, ac- cording to the committee’s report, interfered “with the work” of the federation executive. In addition, Telegdi’s “obvious lack of com- munication, and his inability to get along with people; prevents him from adequately performing his job, and also frustrates and inhibits the performance of other members

-- of/the federation.” It was also noted that “at no

time did Andy exhibit a high de- gree of leadership”, however the committee felt Telegdi’s “quantity of work has been satisfactory”.

Speaking in favour of the mo- tion, federation external relations chairman Max Mercer said “I be- lieve the president should resign because of his demoralizing and debilitating influence on the execu- tive.” Mercer further said when asking Telegdi to “cease his per- sonal attacks on e,xecutive mem- hers’ ’ , he was told “he’d better stop that sort of thing.”

On the other hand; Tublications chairman Terry Harding said- he

(’ could work with Telegdi despite divergent political views, and the reason why other executive mem-

bers could not was solely due to a “lack of desire to work with him.”

As an example of “working with Telegdi” , Harding cited the occa- sion when he and Telegdi negotiated a raise for student summer employees at the Univer- sity of Waterloo.

Strongly disagreeing with Hard- ing, federation treasurer Ted-Scott said “unless we demand excel- lence” from federation presidents we can expect “ mediocrity’ ’ . He had previously referred to _Telegdi’s handling of the federation-funded “Housing ‘74” project (which sought to “re- solve” the student housing pro-

ject) as being devoid of “profes- sionalism’ ’ .

Scott said Telegdi managed to “alienate 5 project members” when he started to take an interest in the project. This alienation re- sulted in “a rented car” sitting “idle in St. Jerome’s College park- ing lot”, he said.

Countering Scott’s assertions, federation vice-president John Shortall said as far as he was con- cerned Telegdi handled “Housing ‘74” well and “he kept me in to,uch with what was going on”. (Shor- tall, though primarily responsible for the project was not on campus during summer as he had a job out of town). --

In defence of his involvement in the housing project, Telegdi said university president Burt Matth- ews termed it “strictly wonderful” and that he was glad the federation was “going to the community to solve the problem”. i

Telegdi also said he received lit- tle cooperation from other execu- tive members, such as Mercer, on

the “tent city” project (an off- shoot from the housing project, to publicize the student housing shor- tage) and that he had to rely on “a small group of volunteers”.

Capping council’s intramural fracas, Telegdi charged the salaries and honouraria committee of contravening federation policy regarding “secret documents”, as the report should have been made public prior to the council meeting.

Telegdi was backed up by council’s speaker Bill Green who also felt councillors should have received the report with their agendas. He then introduced a mo- tion to adjourn until Sunday, say- ing council was “dropped a bombshell” with the report ap- pearing so suddenly.

Lead pollutes

Last January television viewers watching the CBC show “As it Happens” on lead. pollution were told that certain portions of the programme would be cut due to a court injunction ordering certain libelous portions of the programme be censored.

This was the first of 78 court in- junctions initiated by- Canada Metal, a firm which smelts lead in

Toronto, in a legal war against any criticism of the company’s lead plants.

The television show detailed the dangers of lead when inhaled by the families, and children- surrounding Canada Metal’s plants located in a residential section of Toronto, and in. Trail, British Columbia. 1

l Lead is even more dangerous when inhaled by children since the toxic lead deposits itself in the tis- sues and bones at a much higher rate than with adults.

Canada Metal is located a mere 200 yards from a primary school and as’of yet the company has done nothing to reduce the amount of lead pouring out of its smokes- tacks. \

Two days after the programme, Canada Metal and Toronto Refin- ers and Smelters issued a notice of a motion asking the Supreme Court of Ontario to throw 6 persons in jail for allegedly breaking the injunc- tion.- These people included ES. Hallman, vice-president of the CBC, Mark Starowicz, producer of “As It Happens”, Max Allen, pro- ducer of the programme on lead, because they had televised the programme.

The morning after the prog- ramme, the court injunction hit the front page of the Globe and Mail -and for this action, Graham Fraser, author of the story, and James L. Cooper, publisher of the Globe and Mail were also named in the court case.

Gary Perly, national chairman of .-

the Canadian Liberation Move- ment (CLM) was also named be- cause the CLM had distributed - leaflets to the workers at Canada Metal.

Gary Perly spoke at an anti-lead forum Wednesday to outline his organization’s efforts to fight lead pollution, and the companies in- volved. He told the group that on Feb. 15 Justice Holland of the On- tario Supreme Court dissolved the injunction obtained by the com- panies against the programme. The next day the lead companies in- itiated the largest libel suit in Cana- . dian history.

. \

They sued the CBC, the Globe and Mail and 5 of the paper’s emp- loyees for $1 million each. The total suit came to $14 million.

The only person missing from the list was Gary Perly . Perly and the CLM feel it proved that the suit was nothing more than a scare tac- tic to frighten the journalists from speaking out against lead pollution.

The controversy over the lead pollu$on ofCanada Metal has been growing for years. Eight years ago, a-little girl who lived adjacent to a lead plant was admitted to Sick Children’s Hospital in a coma due to lead intoxication. More children were sent from the nieghbourhood with similar problems and the par- ents organized and demanded that the Ontario government stop the companies. Nothing was done.

Two years ago, Dr. David Par- kinson, head of the Metabolic ward

I photo by mike-gordon Gary Per/y spoke at a forum Wednesday evening about the dangers and politics of lead pollution. Per/y’ along with several others was named in a law suit which was initiated by Canada Metal, in a move that was seen as an attempt to scare off criticism of the companies lead pollution. ,

lead from page 1

at the hospital for Sick Children in Toronto began lead blood tests on children who lived adjacent to the lead plant because ofthe large number of children admitted with lead intoxication.

Shortly after, the vice-president of Cominco (owner of Canada Metal) and Dr. Fitch (formerly with the Ontario Dept. of Health) visited Dr. Parkinson’s boss at the hospital and insisted that he be fired. .

Last October the protest of local residents increased enough to force

the Ontario government to issue a stop-work order against Canada Metal. But an Ontario Supreme Courtjudge ordered the order lifted when the provincial Air Manage- ment Branch did not bring any evi- dence to court proving the plant polluted. The inaction of the On- tario Air Management Board moti=- vated Toronto city council to de- mand a Royal Commission of In- quiry into the plant’s operations. But nothing was done.

The “As It Happens” prog- ramme brought to a head the years of struggle for a reduction in the lead pollution. The controversy hit a national newspaper’s front page

- and the company’s directors realized that they had a battle on their hands.

f- Perly pointed out that the pollu- tion equipment for the companies’ lead plants in Toronto and else- where in Canada would be a con-

-siderable capital expense. He felt the company fears that if any pollu- tion restrictions were placed on the Toronto companies they would have to be installed in other plants across Canada.

Perly has been acquitted of the charges put forward at the supreme court but has been ordered to pay for the companies’ $7,000 court costs. He is fighting this action in the courts.

The residents’ battle for “clean lead free air” is continuing but as of yet no government has been able, in its wisdom, to impose any lasting restrictions on Canada Metal, a company owned by Cominco which is a subsidiary of Canadian Pacific Railways.

The government’s inaction over this matter and the subsequent court battles over it are a good indi- cation of who is really in power in Canada.

Native religion viewed X1

The native peoples religion in Canada has long been viewed by the dominant white culture as being irrelevant or savage in their world view. “It is time that the white cul- ture has a correction of insights and acknowledge it”, said.Prof. J.W.E.

‘Newberry of Laurentian University’s native studies prog- ramme.

Newberry,‘addressing a two day symposium on the religion of native peoples being held at U of W and WLU, stressed the relevance of the native peoples’ world view to white industrial society: “White society needs to experience the psychic ecology of native people’s relig- ion’ ’ , said Newberry.

Native people’s religion is ex- periencing a revival in traditional rites such as singing, dancing, and drumming. Wilderness camps ena- ble native peoples to get in touch with their old ways. After prohibi- tion by church and the federal gov- ernment of their old customs, na- tive peoples have re-embraced their religion. The present revival is challenging Christianity in native peoples’ lives. “It is a spiritual struggle which must purify and strenghten their religion”, accord- ing to Newberry.

Native peoples are reconsidering their contact with white society and withdrawing into their own religion - and culture. “Native peoples are breaking with the oppressive and smothering dominant culture to develop their own sense of identity. If they decide to re-establish con- tact, the type of contact will depend upon them”, concluded Newberry.

New scheme found *

Waterloo regional planners gave a sigh of relief today when they heard that the region’s growth will not be constrained by a water shortage because a new scheme has been developed to recycle sewage.

In the scheme each industry would take its waste liquids and under pressure apply the solution across a cellulose acetate mem- brane which separates the clean water from all impurities, includ- ing bacteria and viruses. The clean water can be then used again in the industry’s water supply system.

Bill Thompson, Waterloo reg- ional commissioner of planning and development, said it was a “tremendous breakthrough” in the conservation of water as indus- try consumes more than 60 percent of the community’s water supply.

He further noted that the $98 million pipeline from Lake Erie and the $42 million Nith river re- charge system can now-be indefi- nitely postponed as the answer to

- the region’s water shortage; Thompson also speculated that

“by the 1980’s we wonit need water pipes or sewage treatment plants if this thing is built properly. We’ll be able to have one right in the house and it will cost less than a septic tank system.

Regional Chairman Jack Young announced he will be meeting,with the ministry of the environment with a view to encouraging indus- tries to adopt the new scheme.

Already planners are considering financial incentives for industries who introduce the new system into their plant. This move is question- able since it is after all industry who will benefit from the system since its growth would be constrained

within the region without the new scheme. ’

One wonders whether the tax- payers of Kitchener-Waterloo should be subsidizing the installa- tion of these systems. , . _

Birth control ’

Last week the chevron ran an ar- ticle titled‘ ‘Bezner on Aborting”. Since that time a few inconsisten- cies in the article have been shown and should be cleared up. The chevron refered to the speaker as Mr. Bezner, although Bezner in- deed has his doctorate, in physics. All indications from the “pro-life’s” advances and intro- duction would imply Bezner to be a doctor of medicine. The second

-

_- mistake was the reporting that abortion could be performed right up to the forty week limit. This is not true. Under Canadian Law, Criminal Code 221, it is legal to per- form abortions only up until the twentieth week. At this time the fetus becomes recognized as an unborn child. Mr. Bezner’s mis- conceptions must- come from the fact that if the woman’s life is in danger, it is perfectly legal to per- form a hysteratomy and remove the unborn child-but only if the woman’s life is in danger. Because of this, any referral to the “unborn baby” or the “unborn child” in the article must be replaced by the word ‘ ‘fetus”. - The chevron also cannot find

where Mr. Bezner has obtained his “facts” saying that it is “standard procedure in some Canadian hospi- tals” to place “aborted babies.. .in a bucket of water to drown or be placed in a refrigerator to die of exposure .”

The following excerpts have been taken from different articles and authors and will be listed if re- quested. The following article may be considered an opinion on abor- tion, the article from Probe is titled “A Liberal Catholic’s View of Abortion”-

The majority Catholic opinion holds nowad.ays, that there is in- deed a real human being from the first moment of conception, but there is also another Catholic view- point which was voiced by one of the churches greatest theologians, Thomas Aquinas. This view holds

-that there is certainly no human being during the early stages of pregnancy. Before the thirteenth century the Catholic Church held that the human soul was infused

r into the body only when it began to show a human shape or outline and possesse’a the basic human organs. Before this time it was considered to be “a vegetative or animal soul, not yet a human soul”. It is in the process of evolving but cannot be considered to be a human person. To refer to another source, “the Church took the conveniently- loose view that the fetus became animated by the rational soul and abortion was therefore a serious crime, only at forty days after con- ception for a boy and eighty days for a girl. (No methods of sex de- termination were specified)“. _ Owing to “erroneous scientific reports” the official Catholic view was changed. These reports stated that there was a complete human being already formed at the time of conception (and therefore a soul) and that only the size and develop- ment of the body had to be deter- min-ed from that time onward. However, it has been proven that after conception there is only the one cell which begins to split and grow slowly. Only, after the 1 lth week period does it have the form and functions of a human; If it were the case that from the moment of conception, the fetus had a soul and was virtually a human then how can it be possible to explain identical twins with different personalities?

It might be seen that in the past as

new countries were colonized and since there was a need for a higher population to form and develop the land, new births would be needed. Abortions would then begin to be frowned upon since people were a scarcity. The Catholic Church was also losing the race, in terms of population to other religions and might grasp at anti-abortion restric- tions as a means to spread its faith by saturating the population. This is a real possibility and should not be discarded hastily. *

If one has decided definitely that the decision should not be left up to the woman, then how can-one jus- tify compulsory pregnancy? By forcing a woman to go through nine months of servitude and then pos- sibly thrusting the role of parent- hood upon her, what has been gained? Perhaps two more anx?ous, frustrated parents and an-unwanted child.

According to reports in the Un- ited States in 1967, “tens of thousands of children were se- verely battered or killed, and these numbers represent an unknown fraction of actual incidence rates”. Unwanted children can be directly correlated to children who have been mentally or physically abused. If there isn’t a law allowing abortions then there will still be a high rate of abortions being per- formed illegally usually under much poorer conditions.

To speak of the danger one could quote from Selig Neubardt, M.D.: “compared to another common surgical procedure, we can say that the danger of an early abortion is far less than the risk of a tonsillec- - tomy! The further advanced the pregnancy gets, the more danger- ous the abortion becomes, but, in the hands of a competent physi- cian, the risk of abortion at any stage is not greater than the risk of a full-term baby !”

WASHINGTON (LNS)-Most , observers commenting on the re-

cent testimony of Vice-President- designate Nelson Rockefeller be- fore the Senate Rules Committee on his net worth have failed to point out that /the question is es- sentially irrelevant. For in reality, the Rockefeller family exercises power so vast that it dwarfs Nelson’s own individual fortune. ’

Nelson Rockefeller says he is worth $62 million which swells to $218 million when trust funds are included. But the complex and hidden economic power that the Rockefeller family holds jointly, and \ which Nelson shares, stretches across the nation and for that matter, around the world.

Oil, banking, airlines, real estate, insurance, retailing, communica-

. tions, hotels and super- marke t,s, electronics, , mutual funds, coffee beans and ‘chickens. The power of the family fortune is ’ I beyond measure.

.

The fortune of the Rockefellers is pervasive. Nelson and his four brothers-David, who is chairman. of the board at Chase Manhattan Bank, John D., who chaired the Rockefeller Foundation for many years, Laurence, a major investor in the’ space industry and in Rock- resorts, and Winthrop, who wis

governor of Arkansas-and sister Abby, each received trust funds and direct inheritances from their grandfather, John D. the first. Other trust funds were created for the fourth generation when it came along.

among others. Wall Street as- sumes that he is there to watch over the Rockefeller money.

Of all the family enterprises, di- rect control is most evident ,at Rockefeller Center, ai complex of skyscrapers in midtown Manhat- tan. Nobody but the. stockholders-Nelson, John III, David, Laurence and Abby, and the heirs of Winthrop who died in 1972, know its true value. Esti- mates, however, are that the land and the 21 buildings on it are worth $1 billion.

Joel Andreas/NACLA/LNS

For two generations, the great fortune passed down by John D. Rockefeller has been frac- tionalized and covered increasing layers of trusts and closely held companies, where no public re- ports are required and none volun- teered.

The family philanthropy has at- tempted to erase the robber baron image associated with John D. the first. The Standard Oil Trust which John put together was dis- mantled by the Supreme Court in 1911, but the family retained con-

trol of all of the pieces. . In 1930, the family bought 4-5

percent ocf the shares of the Chase Manhattan Bank, enough to con- _

Rockefeller Center is so im- mense that even the Rockefellers don’t own all of it. Columbia Uni- versity owns 510,000 square feet where the first fourteen buildings ’ were built. This land was appraised in 1973 as worth $180.million.

The buildings, however, on Col- umbia land are owned’ by Rockefeller Center Inc. and while they are not worth as much as the

trol it. (For effective control of a corporation or a bank, it is by no means necessary for an individual or family to own 51 percent of the ’ stock. Depending on circumstan- ces-such as if the rest of the’* shares are owned by small,’ unre& lated holders; or ownership of blocks of stock by foundations, family or friends, etc.-as little as 3 percent is often sufficient for at least great influence, if not outright control.)

The Rockefeller money is man- aged at one place-at 50 Rockefel- ler Plaza in New York City where the family investment group called Rockefeller and Associates hand- les a maze of trusts and bank ac- counts, 1 with policy directives set by the brothers. J. Richardson, Dilworth, nephew of the former Philadelphia mayor, runs it, \

land, they are not worth much less-$160 million.

Rockefeller Center Inc. owns all the so-called “new” land which borders on Sixth Avenue, a re- cently developed business district. The company has also entered into joint agreements for ownership of the buildings whose prime tenants include Time-Life, McGraw-Hill and Celanese.‘

The family’s string of tax ex- empt foundations represent a large pool of money, not only for philan- thropies, but for ownership of stocks. Thus, the Rockefeller Foundation, which John D. III chaired for many years reported 1972 assets of $976.9 million and about $362 million of it was in- vested in oil stocks.

The Rockefeller Brothers Fund, where the family is heavily rep- resented on the board and Nelson is an honorary trustee, had $268 million in assests in 1972 with $67

&. company million invested in oil companies. Exxon and Mobil are on the top of the list. If you throw in the huge blocks of stock held and controlled by the Chase Manhattan trust de- partment, it comes to a total of 8.6 million shares of Exxon, almost 4 percent, and the largest chunk of stock in the world’s largest oil company. The Rockefeller family also shows a substantial presence in Mobil, Amoco, and Standard Oil of California.

II Besides Exxon, the .Rockefel-

lers’ real-leverage is the Chase Manhattan Bank with total assets of $8.8 billion in 1973. Again, everyone knows the Rockefellers control it, but nobody can say pre- cisely how much they own. Board chairman David Rockefeller, the only Rockefeller required to report his holdings, holds 337,,500 shares or about 1 percent. The Rockefeller Brothers Fund has another I48,OOO shares. Rockefeller Uni- versity, a graduate study and re- search venter, holds 81,000.

In 1964, when the House Bank- ing Committee, chaired by Wright Patman, studied bank ownership, Rockefeller Center, which is wholly owned by the family, o,wned 86,200 shares. That has presumably doubled-through two stock splits in the years since.

Control of the bank and its trust departments has the effect of mul- tiplying the family’s financial power. Every major bank in the U.S. holds millions of shares in corporations in trust departments for their owners, most of whom give the banks the power to vote the shares and influence corporate management.

Chase’s p trust department, with the bank’s companion investment corporation, controls the single largest bloc of stock in United Air- lines, Northwest Airlines, Long Is- land Lighting, Atlantic ‘Richfield Oil and National Airlines, to name a few. It holds important chunks of leading corporations-AT dz T, IBM, Avon Products and Safeway Stores.

Major banks like Chase protest that their enormous holdings do not give them control over corpo- rations and that they manage busi-

ness neutrally on behalf of anonymous donors. But it’s reasonable to assume that Chase would not commit its trust hold- ings to a management that they did not approve.

To make it simple, here are the corporations represented on Chase’s board, either by their chief executive officer or their own board chairman:

American Smelting, and Refin- ing, Honeywell, Allied Chemical, General Foods, Hewlett-Packard, Exxon, Federated Department Stores, AT & T, Royal Dutch Pet- roleum (Shell), Burlington Indus- tries, Equitable Life Insurance and Standard Oil of Indiana. These Chase executive officers also serve on the boards of many other well-known corporations.

III America’s commercial airlines

represent one example of how the Chase Bank exerts industry-wide influence. According to a report compiled by the Civil Aeronautics Board, the bank holds about 12% of National, 9% of Northwest, 8% of United, 7% of Overseas Na- tional, 6% of TWA, 5% of Delta, 4% of Braniff and other lesser holdings.

While Chase holds airline stock, the bank also lends a lot of money. Lending money gives big banks as well as insurance companies <more control over significant corporate decisions than stockholders have. In 1973, two Senate Government Operations subcommittees, jointly investigating corporate power, disclosed that fourteen airlines owed $274 million tom Chase. Pan Am alone owed $20.8 million, Continental $95.9 million.

The Rockefeller interests are well represented van the boards of Equitable Life as well as a mutual - company owned by its policy hol- ders, but of course controlled by its directors. Equitable held notes worth $241 million from Pan Am, United, TWA, American and Eastern.

Competing in a marathon (26 miles, 385 yards) is no easy task. Doing it in less than two hours and

-. - _ twenty minutes is even less so. Twenty-six miles at just over five minutes per mile is a fast clip as anyone who has gone out and tried to run one mile at that pace would know.

Gi,ving Kidd quite a challenge for third spot was Doug Scorrar of Ot- taQva who actually held that position most of the race. Ross Jackson from B.C. was fifth in 2:27.29.

Last Saturday in the Oktoberfest Marathon held here on campustwo runners did just that. Running in tandem in front of the pack throughout the race, Tom Howard

Arthur Taylor, last year’s winner ‘and former Warrior coach, finished

in sixth place in 2:29.18. Competing for the Kitchener-Waterloo Track Club, Taylor easily won the Master’s division title, which is for runners 40 years and over.

For all who finished the race -joggers and racers alike-the day was a success. Being fit enough to complete a marathon is an achievement itself. 1

Eastern first took off in 1938 with the help of Laurence Rockefeller who also started McDonnell Aircraft. He still owns 49,000 shares. Chase holds 240,000. When Laurence couldn’t serve anymore, Woodward sat in for him on the Eastern board.

Howard’s victory did not come easy. The course which wound in and around north Waterloo, West Montrose and Conestoga is a fairly hilly one. Armstrong, who has a personal best for the distance of 2:13, attempted to pull away sev- eral times but each time Howard was able to react and stay with him. Armstrong’s inability to break How- ard in mid race cost him the race. With three quarters of a mile to go Howard’s superior speed put him ahead for good.

Bruce Kidd, winner in the 1962 Commonwealth Games Six Mile and who has been known more as a political actFist than as a distance runner of late, placed third with a credible time of 2:21.7. Kidd, run- ning for the Toronto Olympic Club, was quite pleased with his time and must surely be eyeing the upcom- ing 76 Olympics in Montreal-if

only just a little. Over a flatter course Kidd’s time would probably have been sub 2:20, not bad for his first marathon in five years.

Eastern’s preferred stock (216,736) which he acquired 7 years ago when he sold the airline a majority interest in several lux- ury resorts which he developed -the Dorado Beach and the Cer: romar Beach in Puerto Rico, and the Mauna Kea in Hawaii.

Eastern still owns the Puerto Rican hotels, but it sold Mauna Kea back to Laurence when it failed to win Civil Aeronautics ap- proval for a Pacific air route to the island. In the deal, Eastern re- ceived a 40% interest in Rock- resorts, properties valued at more than $100 million, developed and owned mostly by Laurence.

At the Senate Rules Committee hearings on his ‘nomination as vice-president, Nelson tried to counter the wid.ely held beliefs about the extent of his family’s power. “I hope,” he said, “that the myth or misconception about the family’s control over the economy of this country will be to- tally brought out and exposed and dissipated.”

But at least one senator, Robert Byrd, persisted in describing the family power as a “stranglehold” over ,the economy. Rejecting Rockefeller’s repeated assertion that his family’s empire is a “myth,” Byrd asked, “But can’t we agree the influence is tremendous-tremendous, col- ossal influence?”

The Warrior hockey team held its first skating session, last Wednesday, Oct. 9. The Warriors must fill the &ots left by Russ Ellio(, chrn Crosby, Doug ,CoIborn, Rob Madely, Jim Nickleson and a few non- regulars who won’t be playing this year due to graduation, moving or getting down to school work. There were seventy-one hopefuls, trying out for about nine positions, with a few more due to show up Thursday and Friday. Of that number, five have OHA> Major Junior “A” or university experience.

The turnout was so great, over seventy hopefuls, possibly due to the fact that Waterloo has grown in prestige after last year’s C/AU championship, that coach Bob McKillop had to work his linesln shifts of one hour per seven lines on Thursday. On Thursday night, most of the cuts had been made. The team must be down to seventeen players, dressed for each game, plus four or five non-regulars, in case of injury, by Friday Oct.

The Soviet Union is one of the few countries where of the Party they chose to ignore the need for the International Women’s Day is not only a national liberation of women. Undaunted by lack of support, holiday, / but widely celebrated. It was adopted along women continued to protest. “Women’s -Day,” in

It was not until 1914, sentiments of the Bolshevik Party when he stated shortly before the outbreak of World War I that the “except for Soviet Russia, there is&i& a country in the Communist Party took up the matter of women’s lib- world in which there is complete equality between eration. Ramifications of party support ‘were the men and women.” launching of two periodicals for working women and

Premier Kruschev demonstrated the perpetuation the Russian celebration of the International Working of this ideal when in 1958, he alleged that “Soviet Women’s-Congress on March 8, 1914. women are held in great esteem.. .They have, not ) The first conference of women workers coincided merely in words but also in fact, equal rights with men with the overthrow of the Provisional Government ,’ in all areas of social and political life, as well as in and the establishment of the Soviet Republic. The production.” Revolution. of 1917 removed all the legal disabilities

It is true that legislation passed in 1918 to be rein- - that had placed women in an inferior posit.ion. The ,forced$by the constitution of 1936 legally placed ‘Declaration of the Rights of the Toiling and Exploited women on an equal basis to men. Evidence indicates, People,’ adopted by the Third all-Russian Congress of however, that although legal female equality is well Soviets in January, 1918 was the first document of the substantiated by such documents, in reality their Soviet state substantiating a position of political status is not comparable to that of men. e equality for women. In article 22 the equality of

Overtly Communists proclaim adherence to the Marxian concept that the first example of class op- pression iSthat of the female by the male, caused by the existence of private property. Therefore before class inequality can be rectified, sexual equality must be achieved.

In conjunction with such ideals, the Soviet Gov- ernment sought to bring into being the ideas of the family developed by Marx and Engels. Legislation guaranteeing women equal status in all walks of life, including freer divorce and abortion laws, was passed to encourage the emancipation of woman from her subordinate status and from household chores so that she would be able to become actively involved in economic and political life.

Thus radical changes in the legal status of women was a ramification of the overthrow-of the tsarisl regime.

Many of the stated objectives to aid in the emanci- pation of women, however, were not realized. For example, adequate childcare facilities and household aids never materialized. Although women became in- dispensible in the labour force they were never freed from the arduous tasks of house work. They did not find an equal-place in the hierarchical structures of industry, education or politics. The higher the posi- tion, the fewer the women is the rule.’ Women are’ most often used in positions of labour. The great Soviet emphasis on industrialization presupposed the strength of numbers. Women were thus-needed to augment the work force especially since so many Rus- sian men had been killed in the world wars. These factors indicate the real attitude towards women. Soviet authorities were intrinsically less interested in the emancipation of women than they were in achiev- ing utmost state production.

Before the revolution of 1905 absolute monarchy precluded democratic elections to national offices and neither men nor women had voting rights. Thus women did not fight for equal rights, but along with men for rights.

The manifesto of civil rights including the right to form the State Duma, issued by Nicholas II on Oc- tober 17, 1905 to be followed by a law passed on December 11, 1905 qoncerning-election to the ,Duma, enfranchised only men. As a result, women found it necessary to fight for political equality. The&arose a movement of women -who fought for equal voting rights.

A petition, signed by five thousand women, was presented to the first State Duma but the State Duma was disbanded before results were achieved. A simi- lar petition signed by seven thousand women was then presented-to the second State Duma which was also disbanded before action could be taken towards women’s rights. “Women’s liberation could take place only as a result of the victory of a new social order and a different economic system,” as Anna Kollontai, an active Communist Party member early understood it.

The Russian suffragette movement was composed mainly of the bourgeois class. Although members of the working class were not interested in the struggle of women during the period 1906-1908, Kollontai was able to interest a few women workers in the cause of suffragism. This interest was manifested by the open- ing of the first Women’s Club in 1907. .

In December, 1908 the first All-Russian Women’s Congress was called by the bourgeois suffragettes. The Russian Workers Party protested when the women workers who participated- in the congress emerged as an independent and distinct group. While they desired the aid of women in furthering the goals

all citizens in the Soviet Republic regardless of sex, race, or nationality was proclaimed and article 64 assured women the right to elect orto be elected to the Soviets on an equal footing with men.

Women were now legally entitled to all the privileges of being .a citizen, but such upholders of women’s liberation as Anna Kollontai realized that “z< .in practice, of course, they still lived under the old yoke: without authority in family life, enslaved by a thousand menial household chores, bearing the whole burden of malernity, even the material cares.. .” As a result of Kollontai’s- concern and work, the first Congress of Women Workers and Women Peasants was called in November, 1918. Such issues as child-care centres and household reforms were considered to implement the participation of ’ women in the economy and politics.

It is evident, however, that the leaders of the Party were interested in/the emancipation of women as workers, not ‘for their own sake. Conversely, much stress was put on the idea that only. the victory of the working class would bring emancipation to women workers. Witness-exerpts from-Lenin’s speech to the First All-Russian Congress of Working Women in November, 1918. “. . .There can be no socialist re- volution unless very many working woinen take part in it. . .Women do not enjoy full equality in any capitalist state. . .No other republic has so far been able to emancipate woman. . .Our cause is invincible because the invincible working class is rising in all countries. This movement signifies the spread of the invincible socialist revolution.” Thus women’s liber- - ation was equatkd with socialism in order to gain the strength of female numbers for the cause of the re- volution.

In the era of Stalinization it was made more clear what role woman was to play in the building of Rus- sian industrial society. Article 122 of the Constitution. of 1936 states:

“Women in the USSR are accorded all equal rights on an equal footing with men in all spheres of economic, government, political and other social and cultural activity,

The possibility of exercising these rights is en- sured by women being accorded the same rights with men to work, payment for work, rest and leisure, social insurance and education, and- also by state protection of the interests of mother and child, state aid to mothers of large families and to unmarried mothers, maternity

5 leave with full pay, and provision of a wide network of maternity homes, nurseries, “ahd

kindergartens. ” \ Practice, however, did not follow what was set down in law. In 1929, Stalin had already abolished the women’s section of the Central Committee of the Party. Ideas on women’s liberation were viewed as undesirable. A prime example of this view is Anna Kollontai’s book which was published at this time, the manuscript of which has all areas supporting the cause of women scratched out.

As one Moscow woman so aptly stated,“He wanted us to work hard to fulfil1 the Plans. But he kept us in our placesnever appointed women to high polit- ical office. . .There was something strangely oriental in Stalin’s attutude towards women.”

Thus Stalin was aware that women were needed to help create a great industrial nation and that the way to keep women interested in this task was to give them I nominal equality. Yet he was careful that too much freedom did not ensue.

The display of optimism by one Party member who

stated that “The further development of alf\forms of’ socialist democracy, which is characteristic of life in

the Central Committee, headed by the Politbureau and the Secretariat, develop policy”and issue direc- tives not subject to question. While of two-hundred and thirty-four Central Committee members there are seven women, the Politbureau and Secretariat are completely void of female members.

These statistics in-dicate the inferior role that women are thrust-into in the Communist Party today. Although they have token positions, they have no part in the actual running of the nation. Perhaps there-is in the Communist Party today much of the underestima- tion of women and their bbilities that Lenin- noted in 1920-in a conversation with Clara Zetkin. “Yes, in- deed, unfortunately it is still true to say of many of our comrades ‘scratch a Communist and find a Philistine.’ Of course, YOU must scratch the sensitive spot, their mentalit) as regards women.”

It is not only in politics that stated objectives of Communism have not been fulfilled: The importance of women in Soviet economy is primarily the result of a profound political, economic and social organiza- tion under the Soviet regime. The combined circums- tances of forced industrialization and the determina- tion to maintain a high level of economic growth even with the large numbers of men lost in the war, deter- mined women’s integral part in the labour force.

Theoretically the factory should liberate women from family ties. The Bolsheviks emphasized this role of modern industry which, as Marx said, “overturned the economical foundations on which wa’s based the traditional family and the family labour corresponding to it.” These ideals do not match reality,.however. Although women represent more than half <he labour force, they still maintain almost full household re- spans-ibilities. Authors of the Moscow budget which is attache,d to the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the SoLiet Union discovered that housework takes seven hours and twenty minutes or a second working day. While men have eight hours of work, eight hours of free time and eight hours of sleep, womeh have fourteen tb sixteen hours of work and six to eight hours of sleep. --

There is a real ambivalen’ce on the,part of the gov- ernment towards child-care centres. Although the number of child-care centres has doubled since 1914, there are accommodations for only about twenty-five per cent of the children from ages one to six. There are only the minimum necessary to keep a large propor- tion of women in the labour force. The quality of these institutions is also of concern. Rather than sending children to-them for the superior moral upbringing which was to be inherent, many families send their

%,hildren only out of necessity preferring to keep them at home if at all possible. As has already been discus- sed,. since men do not see housekeeping as their job, wome’n in the labour force must bear the full load of two jobs.

As a result of being overworked women are less able to give full input into their jobs. One author’has suggested that production-conscious managers dis- like to train working wives in skilled operations or to promote married women to positions of great respon- sibility because women have less productive years to spend on a job due to child-rearing. Herein lies the explanatioti as to why women usually hold lower- skilled, lower paid jobs.

Ironically, lower-skilled jobs usually involve heavier work. Soviet writer Larisa Kuznetsova cites the following official figures which reflect the rela- tionship of male and female labour in the building 0f the Saratov Hydro Electric Station.

From these statistics it is evident that industry has not emancipated women by forcing them into the work- force, but has further enslaved them by doubling their work burden.

In conjunction with state industrialization, Lenin maintained that the abolition of the private ownership of land was the only iyay for real emancipation to occur. He felt that small-scale farming enslaved women to individual households and their husbands. L‘ . . . the abolition of the private ownership of land and the factories. . .op&s up the way towards a complete and actual emancipation of woman, her liberation

from ‘household slavery’ through the transition from petty individual housekeeping to a large-scale socialized domestic service.”

Collectivisation of farms should free women to hold _ an equal place in the economy: Yet in the villages all

heavy manual labour is performed by women who compose ninety per cent of the swineherds, poultry workers and tiilking personnel while men usually oc- cupy the administrative positions. As Kruschev ad- mitted, “It turns Out that it is the men who do the administering atid the-women whodo the work.”

To go beyond industry and farming, the following statistics indicate that women predominate in the lowest income brackets of all the professions.

Economic progress is dependent upon the develop- ment of an appropriately trained labour pool. Thus Soviet attitudes- towards the education of women in- dicatesits view towards-their place in the economy.

The beginning of state education for girls came ;nder Catherine II who wrote “A general statute for the education of the youth of both sexes” in 1764. It was after 1829 that a statute of Nicholas I forbade girls to enter district and provincial schools. Although-iim- portant developments in the education of women oc- curred during the reign of Alexander II, only secon- dary education was permissible. When women started storming the doors. of the universities, University Rules were introduced in 1863 which barred their entry. Many Russian women protested by going ab- road to obtain higher education and when, in 1868, the University d;f St. Petersburg was petitioned by several’ groups to offer university instruction to women, posi-’ tive results ensued. In spite of the fact that courses which were open to women were outside of the uni- versity setting, on the eve of the revolution women constituted one-quarter of the students% higher edu- cation.

‘la

The Bolshevik leaders felt that education was an important tool iv the furthering of the revolution. To get women out of the borne and into productive life of the country it was necessary to educate them. Thus after the revolution radical changes were effected in educational policy, guaranteeing access to higher education to both sexes.

One of the ramifications of Stalin’s first five-year plan of 1928:1!%30 was an attack on illiteracy because women were gretitly needed in the labour force to aid the country in its scheme of industcialization. A de- cree issued in February of 1929 required that thirty per cent of enrollees at all secondary institutions and by September of 1930, twenty-five per cent of admissions to higher educational institutions must be female. Be- cause the draft drastically decreased the numb& of eligible men during World War II, by 1945, women represented seventy-seven per cent of higher educa- tion.

With the return to a normal male-female ratio in student groups the proportion of women decreased slightly in specialized secondary education and greatly in higher education. Changes in admissions regulations tended to favour work experience and military service which often disqualified women.

Consequently, women still predominate in such semi-professional occupations as laboratory techni- cians, accountants and book-keepers, and in such areas as medicine and teaching. These professions tend to attract fewer men because they are low-paying and their six hour shifts fit into the schedule of the housewife.

Perhaps the motive behind this betrayal of Corn- munist ideals is economic. Women have less time and energy left over from extra household respon- sibilities, therefore it is logical to assume that men can give the greatest productii/ity.

Cogtrary to’proclamations at the beginning of the Communist’regime, women have not achieved equal- ity in Russian society. They have been given only token participation in the governmental workin s of the country and have inherited the lower-ski led, Ei heavier jobs. They are-still obliged to carry the extra responsibility that-housework entails. It seems that female potential has been exploited only inasmuch as they have been able to-contribute to the total produc- tion of the ndtion with little consideration being given to their well-being.

Who f _- cares

In the past, the Chevron has been an excellent source of weekly information on this campus as well as providing knowledge and thorough coverage of important events throughout the world. Last week’s refusal to include sports in the Chevron seems to,indicate that the Chevron staff is no longer in- terested in providing the people with what they want to read.

Believe it or not, students are in- terested in following sporting events on campus and knowing which ones they can become in- volved in:

Sports news provides a refresh- ing, relaxing break from “optometry scandals” and “high interest rates.” Were not Mr. Epstein’s sporting re-

ports adequate as well as being en- tertaining?

Your statemknt “We .aren’t in- ‘terested in such things; referring to sport news, seems very self centred and not the type of state- ment one would ‘expect from a newspaper staff.

I do hope you continue once again to include sports In your paper. I feel it could only add to the quality of the Chevron and return it to the quality newspaper it once was; encompassing a wide range of events.

Yours truly, Peter Quevillon

i Tournament Coordinator

This may come as a surprise to you but there were only two other persons, besides yourself, that complaine_d about the lack of sports in last weeks paper. One of the complaints came from Peter Hopkins the intramural di- rector and the other from the HKLS representative on student council. In fact we have had more compliments than criticisms on dropping the sports, so judging from that if we really were in- terested in giving the people what they w,anted, the sports would definitly go.

However, the chevron staff does See a need for sports re- porting, especially’ the in- tramural reports, however, there is a lot of work involved in pro- ducing a sports page and there is no one on staff who has the time or interest to do it. It must be pointed out that this paper is largely produced by volunteers and volunteers only volunteer for what they are interested in. So far no one has volunteered to spend some time down here, who is interested’in sports.

The chevron staff is more than willing to teach people how to lay out the sports copy, size pictures and figure heds, rdut we need the people to teach:

White bias t .

Several times in the past week since Louis Cameron spoke in crowded EL 101 I have encoun- tered some bad feedback about his talk. Students have mentioned

- Louis’ inarticulate English and poor logic. I got the impression that many young white Canadians at UW felt that this was just qnother dumb In- dian making the usual ass of him- self. .

Why is it that Canadians always think that people who are not com- fortable in english usage are stupid. Are these same Canadians articu- late in Ojibway, Italian, German, or Chihese?

Canadians seem to have a built in prejudice that classifies non-english speaking people as not worth listening to even when those people pay us the courtesy of trying to speak to us in our own language, not theirs.

Personally I felt Cameron should have spoken in Ojibway -with a

white Canadian translating so that we could get ang_ry at the translator for being inarticulate and perhaps angry at ourselves for our lack of understanding. * I feel-it is a sign of our own im- perialism that tie force even those who are standing up for their own rights and identity to speak in another man’s tongue, ours.

On seeking -

After suffering an undeserved loss to 3B Civie Slickers 2-O (a con- troversy people are still talking about), the Glory Seeker’s coach and part-time quarterback, Bow- legged Bowins quipped,“We won the game but sure as hell didn’t beat any body.”

The following week, crowd an- tispation reached a feverish pitch as 9,200 rabid seasons ticket hol- ders jammed the sidelines to see the Arts squad, ranked 4th in the nation, take on the underdogs,

True to form, at the pregame ceremony, the captain of the Arts team released their mascot (a giant red ballon pumped by you-know- what hot gas) at midfield as the en- tire football club stood at attention. What happened after that went down in football annals as the bit- terest defeat the Arties had ever expefienced; a 20-O humiliation. It-. was almost as if they were the very putty in the hands of the defensive front four Glory Seeker goon squad. Collectively, Mad -Dog Mousseau, Limb-Stripper Lubgans, Brad (the Tree) Beech, and Stone Hands Ayres pawed, mauled and battered the Arts offence to a standstill.

This set the stage for the next scintillating spectacle; possibly the best exhibition of sterling football ever to grace the muddy pastures of Village Green. Stadium personnel who tacked on 12,000 additional seats to accommodate an antici- pated, record-breaking crowd, had no troirble filling vacancies, but had to&-n away fans at the gate.From the start of the contest, for the Glory Seekers it appeared to be strictly no contest. The Science quarterback after losing 12-Or/at the half, mum- bled somewhat disconcertedly,“It’s

.a question of survival out there.” Barry (Boarhog) Ross’ touchdown interception as well as Flash (in the Pan) Glan~ill~s legwork and mid- ,

,dlelinebacker Pete (McPete) Meharg’s defensive maneuvers, helped turn the win into a 20-O rout. Honourable mention and recogn-’ tion as “Glory Seeker of the Week” goes to Dean (Dino) Orlando who grabbed two big T.D.‘s in the first half.

Number one ranked team Op- tometry in so-called League 82 is the next obstacle en route to the Glorj/ Seekers’ dizzying pinnacle of success. One press agent repor- tedly overheard the Optometry coach as saying,“At the first sign of dirty tactics by those goddamned Glory Seekers, I’m pulling my team off the field”.

The failurk to Grit% is a friendly, intel!ige?t ten

year old boy. He is devoted to his family and works hard in school. He knows, though, that his class- mates think he’s stupid because-he 1 falls off his bike and can’t tie his shoelaces. They sometimes laugh at his attempts td read and write. Grant used to have tantrums be- cause he was so unhappy about himself but lately this has changed. He knows now that he is not stupid, He has a learning disability that makes it very difficult for him to learn the way other children do. It makes him clumsy and forgetful.

)Now Grant is going to special clas- ses which use techniques, de- signed specifically for learning dis- abled children. Grant and his fam- ily hope that he will be able to finish

‘his education and maybe even go on to university. Life is much hap- pier around Grant’s house these days.

learn some things through the usual teaching methods. Often this means that they never learn to read or write, which is a severe handicap indeed in modern so&- ety.

What causes a learning bisabil- ‘ity? ‘Sometimes a difficult birth, mild brain damage, a serious ill- ness or allergy, o?,an upset in the body chemistry. Whichever the cause, the result is a child who is frcistrated, confused and unhappy. The child may reverse letters -read “saw” for “was”, or may not recognize familiar words if they are printed larger or in a different col- our ink. These children may forget things as soon as they learn them. They may be overexcitable, noisy and destructive, and are often labelled “bad” ,or “lazy” and are often punished.

Grant and his family receive help from A.C.L.D., the Association for Children .with Learning Disabilities. This is an organization dedicated

1~ to improving tlie lives‘,of learning disabled children and their families through the co-operation of par- ents, teachers, doctors and others who. work with children. The Kitchener-Waterloo chapter of ACLD has arranged a program de- signed to publicize Learning D‘is-

\ abilities Week, October 21 to 27. About ten percent of all children,

from all types o’f families, have some form of a learning disability. These are normal children in every way. They are simply unable to

If these children are lucky their parents, teacher or doctor will see beyond these faults and under- stand the reasons for their failure to learn. She can take part in a program specially designed to overcome her disability. Unfortu- nately, many children must wait years before their pioblems are diagnosed correctly. The result of years of frustration and failure can lead to emotional problems for these children as well. Their families, too, suffer great stress. Thig is why ACLD feels that it is impor’tant to diagnose learning dis- abled children early, bbfore they feel like giving up, on themselves and the world. The children and their families benefit from the ser-

vices and mutual encouragement offered by ACLD.

What kind of treatment is availa- ble to the learning disabled child? ,. Some by me

children Ldication

are. treated chiefly given under close-”

medical supervision. Some receive special education and some re- quire both. The separate and public school boards- of Waterloo County provide diagnostic services and special education clas$es for children in their schools. There are still not enough classes for all the children needing help, and some- times it seems that the teachers are not aware of the facts about learning disabilities. But the situa- tion is improving. At present there are about fifteen classes for the learning disabled. In each class six to eight pupils are taught by spe- cially -trained teachers. The pupils are encouraged to wove jnto “reg- ular” classes for their &dies as they develop the basic skills re- quired. Many children <“graduate-” from special classes in one or two years. At the K-W Hospital there is a Learning and Development Clinic which provides diagnostic facilities for learning disabled children and their families. Similar services are available in London and Toronto.

ACLD has a number of prog- rams, too. Of course, its most im- portant function is to provide a meeting ground for people who are involved with children who have a learning disability. In particular, the parents. They are able to work to- gether to improve their understand- ing and acceptance of their child’s problems. They develop programs to assist their children’s progress. Every Saturday morning in the Fall and Winter there-is a Gross Motor Skills Gym. Here the children with poor co-ordination work with stu- dent volunteers at such things as skipping and hopscotch, obstacle courses, balancing and group games. The children are encour- aged to map their own progress in achieving greater muscle control. A Learn-to-Skate Class and Soft- ball Skills Clinic help the children develop co-ordination a@ give them the confidence needed to join in neighbourhood games without fear of teasing. For Teenagers. there isa Social Enrichment Prog- ram. They go bowling, to movies, and other public events. These ac- tivities increase their indepen- dence and develop social skills which are difficult to adquire after years of isolation and dependence on their families.

Kitchener-Waterloo ACLD is ex- cited about the key event of L;earn- ing Disabilities Week in Waterloo County. All interested people are urged to hear Dr. William A. Haw4e, who is the President of the Ontario ACLD, Professor of Pediatrics at the University of To- ronto and Director of the Depart- ment of Devgtopmental Medicine at Sick Children’s Hospital.
