No feedback on lo~cms Students do not seem to care

about the structure that student aid will take in the future. That was the impression felt by the Un- iversity of Waterloo senate com- mittee on scholarships and stud- ent aid. There was no feedback’ from the students on the report that appeared in the Chevron.

At the final meeting on monday the brief was passed by the com- mittee with a few minimal changes. Burt Matthews was pre- sent at the proceedings but had little to say to the committee. Leo Johnson and Bert Dejeets had met with him earlier to dis- cuss the report.

Henry McCleod pointed out that if the students were forced to pay the whole cost of his university career, he might not continue in the postgraduate level. It would cost $40,000 for a man to obtain his PhD. In the long run this would mean a lack of PhD’s and the universities would have to

’ A very small entry braved the uncompromising rain and mud

turn to the United States for their experts as they did ten years ago.

Ken Fryer pointed out that mak- ing the man who earns over $20,000 a year pay -more money penalized those who excel1 schol- astically since they were the peo- ple who would be earning a great- er salary after graduation. Ac- cording to him, it is the desire for higher incomes which makes people excel1 in school and the. incentive to scholarship would be lost if those in the higher income brackets had to pay more money back than those in the lower in- come group.

Leo Johnson warned the com- ,mittee that there was a new at- titude to university coming to Canada. Instead of running a un- iversity to benefit society, univer- sities are seen as benefiting only the individual.

The brief now goes to the com- mittee of residents of the universi- ties of Ontario.

W7e private ear” and Wie public eye”

Beginning next tuesday two comedies will begin their three day run at the theatre of the arts.

These plays, which are usu- ally performed together, are being directed by Maurice Evans.

Two students will have the dif- ficult task of playing two roles each night. Paul Crouse will appear as a cockney gigolo in “Private

Ear” and a private detective in “Public Eye”. Sue Minas por- trays a “limp-brained nonen- tity” and a young house wife.

The “Public Eye” is a witty discussion of marriage while the “Private Ear” has mime se- quences as it’s main attraction.

One dollar gets you a ticket for both plays. Curtain rises at eight pm.

VMC p/cans further action The meeting of the Vietnam

mobilisation committee, held in Trinity church sunday afternoon, featured a film, Year of the Pig, two guest speakers, and the elec- tion of a new executive.

The speakers were Helmuth Fischers who spoke on the 1st Cleveland anti-War conference, held in june of this year, and Ellie Kirzner, of the Toronto VMC

executive, who discussed the im- portance of the may upsurge in Toronto.

The committee also plans to take part in an international day of protest, on October 31st, and plans an action, whose format is, as yet undecided, on august 8th, as part of the commemoration of the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. ’

Finland have recognized his group as an autonomous nation. Hill, who has returned to the re- serve near Brantford from a eur- opean lecture trip, displayed an Iroquois Confederacy passport bearing entry stamps of the three countries as proof.

He says the confederacy has the right to issue passports because

But he doesn’t care about can- adian non-recognition because “We don’t have a treaty with the federal government. ” Though the confederacy is not the legal governing body of the Six Nations reserve, it claims the support of about half the reserve’s 8,000 In- dians. ____

this week from pollution probe

Its really population S control by Jay Thompson

From the State of New York’s legislation: “An abortional act is justifiable when committed upon a female with her consent by a duly licensed phy- sician acting, (a) under a reasonable belief that such act is necessary to preserve her life, or (b) withing 24 weeks from the commencement of her pregnancy.. . . The act shall take effect July 1,197O.”

A lead from a news item dated june 27 of this year: “A worsening incidence of gonorrhea among California teen-agers has caused governor Ronald Reagan to reverse his stand against selling pro- phylactics to minors. ”

A quote from Rene’ Dubos’ 1969 Pulitzer prize winning work, So Human an Animal: “Man is a gre- garious animal ; he generally tends to accept crowd. ed environments and even to seek them. While this attitude unquestionably has social advantages, these may not be unmixed blessings. ”

REAGAN AND THE V. D.

Reagan didn’t want the “prophylactics to mi- nors” law to pass. Last year he killed the same law in the senate.

It was a moral issue. Most issues are. At least they end up that way.

Said Reagan, one year ago, “the moral issue in- herent ,in this bill must outweigh whatever medi- cal advantages which might result from its ap- proval. ”

As is well known, V. D. has been on the increase. California is probably typical of most north amer- ican territories. And the California figures are frightening.

Over half the V. D. cases are in the under 25 year- old classification. Within this group a projected one-in-ten will contact and report a case of gon- orrhea in 1970.

In the teen-age group chances increase. One-in- five will be treated before graduating from high school.

Undoubtedly this is why Reagan has changed . his stand. It took the persuation of a medical man, Dr. Louis Saylor who is state director of public health, to talk him around. All he had to do was point out it would be “immoral” not to. pass the bill.

Don’t expect miracles from the bill, however. Senator Beilenson, father of the act, doesn’t feel it will solve the problem. To him it is “a helpful and practical step in the right direction.”

It does beat the bill of two years ago which al- lowed youngsters to “obtain treatment of veneral disease without their parents being notified.”

Nevertheless, it is nice to know that Reagan and penicillin are now on the same side of the fence. Every little bit counts. And they have shown a willingness to combat this social ill.

It is even possible that Robarts may have heard about it. But don’t count on it.

New Yorkers are deathly afraid their charming city will become known as “The abortion capital of the world.”

The situation is strained and strange. Few doct- ors know anything about abortion. The average gynecologist may now do about one abortion per year.

The experience here counts for nought if the. state suddenly become deludged with some 500,000 expected’ applications for the remainder of the year now that the law is in effect.

According to Dr. Robert E. Hall, president of the association for the study of abortion and one of legalized abortions staunchest supporters, pro- blems could arise: “Let the floodgates open, let in 500,000, and you will have to have independent clinics to accommodate them. Then you will have deaths, profiteering, gruesome stories on the front page of the papers.”

Despite this statement, Dr. Hall is in favour of clinics. He just doesn’t want to see abortion mills that will hurt any chances of other states following \ the New York lead.

Also, the 500,000 figure may be high. Although it is too early to tell, there has not been an abort- ion rush to New York. Predicted fears have not materialized.

NOT CONTROL

The most striking thing about the New York state abortion laws is that they are not viewed by the medical profession as a means of population control.

Says one New York doctor, “I’m very much con- cerned that the public not get the idea that abor- tion is a substitute for contraception. We’re talk- ing about a surgical procedure vs. a preventitive device. ”

Nor was the California act to supply prophyla- ctics to minors a birth control measure. Cali- fornia legislatures still aren’t sure now Gov. Rea- gan will react to a sterilization bill aimed at adults.

Yet both of these acts are the outgrowth of so- cial problems-social problems caused by an in- crease in population. And both are aimed at help- ing to solve this problem, however indirectly. *

It only remains to see how effective they are. Or if they are.effective at all.

Turning once more to Rene Dubos, “Crowding, regimented life, environmental pollution, and dis- turbances of the fundamental biological rhythms are aspects of life which are common to all highly technicized and urbanized societies, rich or poor. These influences elicit from the human organism responses from which are emerging the physical, mental, and social disorders commonly called diseases of civilization.”

This means that abortion and prophylactics are only aspirins compared to the measures that will have to be taken in the future to combat pro- blems emerging from increased population.

But then, even aspirins are better than no relief at all. They will serve until something better comes along.

Providing Of course, that something better is found soon enough.

‘T HI? INTERNATIONAL convention at the University of Victoria two weeks ago was like many other conventions-a-mixed business and socialaffair. In the commons block, distributors had set up displays

brought public attention on the confer- ence-if only in Victoria. It was the ann-

And mixed in with. displays of spotlights, parking meters, locks and alarms there were shotguns; mace dispensers, a tear gas and smoke generator, riot sticks, helmets and hand guns. \

The outgoing president of the campus cops, Swen Nielsen from Brigham Young university in Utah, obligingly posed for press types. He tried out the new toys, looking grimly Nordic as he handled a pep- per fog tear gas and smoke generator. And the PR man’ for the conference, Herb Voye, said the expense was the only rea- son security forces ’ on U. S. campuses didn’t have this new fangled riot equip- ment.

Either on display or listed in catalogues on the site were: ,

“Shock batons” or less euphemistically cattle prods’. These batons deliver “a mild electric shock” which has “a powerful psychological effect on the recipient”.

r “Billy clubs” with “attractive turned beading” that fit snugly into the hand.

‘Riot batons” with “28 ounces of lead” in each end.

“Sap gloves” with powdered lead in the knuckles and palm. The university of Vic- toria last week was a good place for stu- dents to find out what was in store for a._ them.

In a less grim vein were the “pig pins”. Silver oxidized or gold plated little pigs could be ordered. These are “worn by police officers proudly”. They are pinned

to the tie. I was told that almost half the security officers at the conference were wearing these pins.

Of the nineteen displays only three re- lated to weaponry. Distributors George F. Cake Corp. from Berkeley and Federate Labs inc: of Saltsburg, <Pa. set up the dis- plays of weapons. They are associated with Smith and Wesson and with-Doug- las Aircraft. The third distributor, Walt- er F. Stephens of Franklin, Ohio, was de- scribed as “small time”. This company’s display was mostly literature rather than actual physical hardware. They were also, pushing the pig pins.

Representatives from the distributors ’ were there to tell people how to order to

fill their security needs. It was in .part a trade fair. But the organizers said there were no actual sales made at the confer- ence. The weaponry was just there for ad- vertising purposes. -

No pwliiaiy displays However, the weapons weren’t there for

long. Some students objected to the dis- plays of militaristic power on the .mild university of’victoria campus.

I Most carry a variety of weapons-guns, batons, gas and mace. One security chief when asked who bet was responsible _to replied : >‘Myself and my men are at the disposal of the president of the univer- sity.” In many cases they are the private army of the administration.

Guelph and possibly McGillare the’only campuses where security officials have police power, I was told. Usually can- adian security officers are hired as ad- ministration personnel. They deal with traffic and minor security matters and have only civilian powers. Canadian secu- rity personnel can also be hired commis- sionaires or rent-a-cops. None of these have police powers. ,

The convention had the atmosphere of a service club for campus cops. It was social- as well as business and @forma-

, tional. The conference wqs more concern- ed with how to run a good shop than it was with& dealing with “student trouble-.

I HE WHOLE SCHOOL IS assembled in the .great drary inside yard (one of the less attractive architectuLa1 features of almo$_all New York city elementary schools ). The children in straight lines by size places, the teacher at the head of each line sh-sh-shing, frpyning, prodding. One alert young teacher walks up and down her line arranging her children. She”pulls a boy’s hands out of his pockets, grabs a hand that is scratching a head and sets it down neatly along the side of the body, mutters a scold at a girl whose finger is near a nostril.

Another, looking hardly more than a college girl, with- twitching mouth and haunted ey_es,- can’t manage her line a_t alI; as fast as She p5ps two in, squeezing ai;d hissing, three more pop out. Now the principal dismisses the lines to their rooms in the order ofthe quietest and straightest. On the way up the stairs the teachers recite sharply “Don’t run, you’ll fall. ” “Which way are you walking? Then

A- LOOK that way. ” “One step at a time, Roger, one step at a time, you’ll trip.” “ShLsh-sh.. Sh-sh-sh. Sh-sh-sh.:’

White sometimes but not-always interrupts to cor- rect the sforyteller’s speech.

He will be corrected five or ten times a day every day he is in school, for ten or twelve years, but will rem,ain loyal 911 that’ time to his mother tongue.

If the children cannot (or do not) adopt the teach- er’s speech as their own, she sometimes does not even understand theirs, or the ideas they seek to cotll\iey by means of it.

--AN HER SUMMING UP, Miss Stembridge commented on both the manner and the- substance of the lesson. She pointed out that the lesson concentrated on one theme which was significant to the students and that the students made the connections and develop- ed ‘. the ideas themselves. She also said, “People learn from someone they-trust, who trusts them. This trust included Stokely’s self-trust and trust, or seriousness, about the subject matter.” J -

All the qualities that made Stokely’s lesson successful were absent from Miss White’s lesson: trust all around, including trust in the students’ ability to learn; sensible recognition of-the world

Editor should not suggest engineers are desensitised

Dear Sirs:

I am wri.ting this letter in re- sponse to an incidental comment which was made in a column w-rit- ten by the editor of your news- paper. The column I am referring to was entitled BULLSEYE, pre-

sumably because it hit the allegor- ical nail right on the head. Because I do not frequent the campus- centre, I cannot tell for sure whether it did or not, but that’s not what I wanted to write about.

Mr. Smith said (and I quote), “It could also be argued that engin- eers are here solely for the pur- pose of de-sensitizing themselves to their environment as quickly as possible so they can go about the task of earning themselves a meal- ticket”. I hope that Mr. Smith him- self does not argue this way; for if he does, he is committing a great error - that of putting people into categories and making ignorant assumptions about their behaviour and attitudes.

If Mr. Smith really wants the

Great as gift+ or just for fun.

Chevron to become a community newspaper, then he’d better be very careful not to dump on any person or group of persons. I do not consider myself to be a good writer, and do not have the time to devote to writing because I am busy training myself to become an engineer so that I am in a position to be useful to the world. I know that many of my fellow engineers do not have big plans for them- selves - they are willing to fit into society as it is. Some of them are thoughtless in many ways - but many are alive and sensitive to their position in the world.

Some of society’s values seem sensible to me, and I accept them. Other values do need to be chang- ed. I just wanted to let you know that some engineers do think, and have a social conscience. Person- ally, I know of very few “arts” students (with the exception of a few psychology students and ge- ography and planning types) who have this sense of social aware- ness. After all, it’s what you do that counts.

Well, I’m not sure that I’ve said everything that needs to be said, but I have to get back to my study- ing so we can conquer the world.

Cumpus center building_ design put in question

I really don’t see why people bitch so much about the campus center - I mean, it’s perhaps the only true symbol of what a univer- sity represents. It’s an outstanding building; impressive and almost as intriguing as the university cal- endar is to the university candi- date; until you really get to see what it’s all about.

In fact, it’s almost lhke a diplo- ma - a monument with nothing useful behind the initial state- ment. Even the main entrance is in the wrong place; but then so is the emphasis of the entrance re- quirements.

The campus center has tremen- dous facilities, but when you can’t even find the public type, to re- gurgitate in they are about as use- ful as many required courses.

And then, what an economic achievement it represents; l-1/2 million dollars freely spent, but then saving the tax-payer more agony by refusing to furnish it to a minimum of comfort thus jeopardizing the total investment!

Why not fix up the place so that Mr. President and everyone else can entertain there. The bureau- crats bitch about the damage to a meagre rug or two, but who cares who did it or why, while some guy gets paid for watering grass that will be dug up the next week anyway. - Yes, we should be proud of this

edifice, which sits like a toad a- cross from sick bay!

It was designed by Shore and Moffat, with furnishings hand- picked by the exclusive PP&P CO., with political designs by capitalists, communists, anarch- ists and administrators (and even a few people who just wanted the goddamned thing to work).

The only problem with the camp- us center is that most people don’t feel at home in it. But then that’s justifiable ; even the vending machines give worse odds than a slot machine and if you win, the stuff is stale.

And the building is inaccessible except to jocks and students who give libations to the computer shrine. What a “campus center! ”

In closing, all I am trying to say is let’s stop bitching about the campus center, accept it for what it is and always will remain - a useless blunder.

Let’s start to demand that a building be constructed where we can relax - and even be people - because that’s what is the most important thing to be; no matter what money-lecherous philoso- phers try to dictate. Amen.

Now, I enjoy your ads, find the crossword puzzle amusing ( some- times), get the odd chuckle out of your spelling and lousy layout. . . but the content (or should I say, printed dribble, keeping, you note, continuity within my letter.. . some- thing you would be well to emu- late) is disgusting with a capital “D”! ! !

Tel Aviv’s military strategists would be quite satisfied with bnly 20 more miles of the west bank of the Suez. This, we are asked to believe, will grant Israel the security it seeks, and the region peace.

To the most casual observer, let alone an “expert” of world affairs, it becomes evident that the recent panic whipped up by israeli militar- ists is unfounded and ‘probably carefully designed. A few months ago the israeli air force bombed

Since then, GROUND-TO-AIR missiles have obliged the raids to subside and to be limited to the canal region. But, by fabricating a crisis and employing a piece of Billy Graham logic, Israel hopes to demonstrate its vulnerability to an arab conquest which can only be prevented with another 150 air- craft or else another U.S. interven- tion.

What the newspapers reveal, ’ however, make one doubt israeli protestations. By their count, the Suez region in the past year. In 47 days of continuous air strikes they have lost not more than half a dozen planes. And finally, the mis- siles fired against raiding aircraft have a range of some 20 miles. Con- sider who is the under-dog now? What interests can be served by Tel Aviv’s obstinacy? Are the Arabs intensifying the tensions, or are they reacting to an arrogant and unbending militarism? Who is threatening whom?

Workers just can’t be aliena the bosses’ profit is at stake

I \ . A T A TIME OF shrinking corporate

profits and stagnant GNP combined with expensive strikes and high

wage settlements, suddenly the ruling class has become concerned about the plight of the blue collar worker in the U.S.

A confidential report presented to pre- sident Nixon on june, titled “The problem of the blue collar worker,” describes the economic frustration and social neglect felt by 70 million people, workers and their families. Although they make $5,000 to $10,000 a year, their real income has been falling for the past 5 years. Socially, the report says, they feel forgotten, and they are “overripe for a political response

to the pressing needs they feel so keenly.” Worst of all, they don’t have any self-re- spect in their skilled and semi-skilled jobs.

Solutions suggested by the report are, as the New York Times says, “almost ludicrously minimal” : small local parks, training programs, child-care tax de- ductions; more low-income housing and improved public transportation are sug- gested economic aids. To restore pride in manual jobs, the report foresees such ra- dical measures as- national awards for outstanding craftsmen, and portraying skilled trades on postage stamps.

Amazed at alienation? Coincidentally, an article appears in

the July issue of Fortune on auto produc- ’ tion workers. Fortune is amazed at auto

workers’ alienation : “The deep dislike of the job and the desire to escape becomes terribly clear twice each day- when shifts end and the men stampede out the plant gates to the parking lots, where they sometimes actually endanger lives in their desperate haste to be gone . . . Some assembly-line workers are so turned off, managers report with astonishment, that they just walk away in mid-shift and don’t even come back to get their pay for the time they have worked.”

Fortune quotes workers interviewed in Detroit who complain about dullness of the job, layoffs, unfair foremen, health hazards, noisy and dirty conditions, for- ced overtime, military discipline, and above all speedup and treatment of work- ers like machines. Management in/ turn complains of absenteeism, tardiness, shoddy workmanship and minor sabotage (which hurts the reputation of the pro-

& ’

duct ) , high turnover, increased fringe- benefit demands and union militancy.

General Motors chairman James Roche complains that the company increased in- vestment per hourly employee by about 500% in 20 years, but “tools and tech- nology mean nothing if the worker is ab- sent from his job.” Or, as Marx put it, it is the worker <who, adding his labor to the company’s investment, makes profit for the company. No worker, no profit.

Absenteeism has also doubled in the last ten years at GM and Ford, most of the in- crease coming in the last year. An aver- age of 5% of GM’s workers are AWOL at any given time; 10% on fridays and mon- days. “Management and the public have lately been shortchanged, ” Roche com- plained. “We must receive the fair day’s work for the fair day’s wage.”

It is clear that the new concern about “who’s down there” has its origin not so much in humanitarian impulse as fear of loss of profits. Corporation managers are confronted by worker rebellion on two sensitive fronts: a refusal to let the gov- ernment fulfil1 its plan of making work- ers and the poor pay for inflation, and a refusal to work harder and faster.

The first rebellion has received wide publicity due to the many large strikes this year that have achieved high wage increases. After a gradual rise in real wages from 1961-65 (over 2Y0 a year 1, the Vietnam escalation and runaway inflation began, and in the last five years real wages have stagnated and then declined. Median pay raises negotiated in recent years have barely compensated for pre- vious inflation: 5.2Yo in 1967, 6% in ‘68, 7% in ‘69. Now in 1970 workers are determined to achieve raises which will compensate for the inflation expected in the coming contract period as well as making up los- ses from the last period.

Prices rose 14% in the last three.years, and workers expect the same in the next three, and therefore want 25-30% increase over 3 years, or 8-10% yearly. So far set- tlements this year have been 7.5% in creases per year for electrical workers, 8% for postal and rubber workers, 12% for freight workers, and scattered settle- ments of 15-30’~ for construction workers. The average for the first half of the year is 8%) excluding construction.

Of course, this does not mean that all wages are going up by 8Y0; on the con- trary, it could mean a growing discre-

ted w len ~

panty between a labor aristocracy in strong unions, and the 75% of workers who are unorganized. Nevertheless, business and government are worried about the growing power of the unions and the “in-

-f la tionary ” wage increases.

Can’t afford labor? Business Week ( april 11) sums up busi-

ness’ case against labor demands in an article called “The U.S. can’t afford what labor wants.” The Nixon administration had thought that recent falling profits would cause industry to be tough in con- tract negotiations, and increasing unem- ployment would cut down on worker mili- tancy. But to everyone’s surprise, “in the crunch, it turns out, it is not labor that yields but the employer.”

Assuming, like most bourgeois econo- mists, that inflation is caused by too much money in the workers’ pockets, Business Week concludes that “the fight to end in- flation now hinges on a sharply defined question: Shall the will of the govern- ment prevail over the will of organized unions?”

Business Week thinks the unions are getting so powerful that they threaten democracy for capitalists: “A democra- tic society works on the assumption that no group within it can accumulate so much power that it can write its own ticket. The question now forcing itself upon the Nixon administration is whether or not that assumption still holds good where the bargaining power of labor is concerned. In other words, is collecti*ve bargaining still bargaining, or has it become some- thing very close to blackmail by the un- ions?”

Business cries of “blackmail!” when labor increases its share are based on one simple assumption ( that relative wages, or the ratio of wages to profits, should remain the same. (Real wages can rise while relative wages remain constant be- cause the U.S. increases its absolute wealth from third world exploitation. )

Aim is redistribution Labor does not share the convic.tion that

it gets a large enough slice of the pie (let alone the unemployed, women, and min- ority groups). Labor’s struggle to raise wages is intended to cause not inflation, but redistribution. But this is the last so- lution business and government will en- tertain; instead, they raise prices and

CANADA--Norris ( Vctttcvuw .Sh) - Satire (?) from Punch

by Patty Lee Parmalee 2 frdm the Guardian (UPS)

I cry inflation. (Most labor leaders are committed to preserving capitalism by maintaining profits, but rank and file are increasingly demanding a larger share. That is why in recent years one out of seven or eight negotiated settlements is rejected by union membership. 1

In the long run, though, business can easily cope with wage increases, by rais- ing prices and productivity. In fact, until last year productivity per man hour has consistently increased faster than real wages. That means two things: automa- tion and speedup.

Speedup has been a chief complaint of workers. For the same real pay they are forced to work harder and faster, thus producing more profit per man hour of work. Through most of the sixties produc- tivity per man hour had tended to increase by 3-4% yearly, but starting around 1966 it began to fall off, until in 1969 manufact- uring output per man hour increased by only 1.7’s and total nonfarm output per man hour decreased by 0.6% (Labor and Commerce Dept. statistics 1 .No one seems to understand why.

Growing power of the unions to achieve high wage settlements can-and prob- ably will-be curtailed \ by law. But management is really worried about workers simply losing their desire to work, which results in decreased output. Refusals to accept speedup would throw a monkey-wrench into the whole system of an expanding economy, since that is where increasing profits come from.

To increase output per man hour again, some companies have been cutting down on work weeks and finally laying off workers, thereby hoping to keep produc- tion at the same level while paying less in salaries. But that is no real solution: there is no way to guarantee that these fewer workers will feel like working hard, and besides, capitalism must expand pro- duction in the long run to exist. An expand- ing economy depends on more and more value added by labor.

This is why Nixon’s foremost recom- mendation in his june speech on the eco- nomy was for a national commission on productivity, and this is why business and government both have recently be- come concerned about “the problem of the blue-collar worker.” The problem is, simply, how to motivate him or her.

We can expect a flurry of sociological and psychological studies on the motiva- tion of workers. In September Fortune will report on “how workers react when behavioral scientists start shaking up the assembly line. ” More and more attempts to make drudge work seem glamourous (postage stamps) and performance in- centives will proliferate, along with at- tempts to obscure the confict between ca- ’ pita1 and labor ( auto companies try sen- sitivity training for supervisors).

But it is unlikely that any of these token gestures will instil1 a lust for alienated labor into a work force that has discovered it dosn’t have to work as hard as it is told to. Alienated labor-labor which produce5 profit for someone else - cannot be ob. scured with sensitivity training and incen- tives whose real puprose is to create more profit.

As if to prove that is the purpose, For- tune quotes GM’s director of employee research on the subject of worker morale: “We are having very vital, critical changes in our society. And the question is how we- can capitalize on this, how we can exploit the forces of change and profit from them.” Fortune agrees that “top management must increasingly think of its workers and the satisfactions they can and should derive from their work.” “Failure to do so,” Fortune concludes, would mean failure, ultimately, in man- agement’s basic responsibilities to its stockholders as well.”

Actually, the headline on page 1 is not a laughing ,matter. Unless people begin taking more of an interest in the Chevron as a means of communicating and presenting something other than the bland tripe in the Kitchenwater Rag, there won’t be much of a future in campus journalism here. The small size of the summer staff is really hindering efforts to dig for news and its associated hypocrisies because fewer of us have to hang around to do more time-consuming production and writing work. You know the Chevron tries whenever possible to present alternate viewpoints, but the most important of such viewpoints-those that relate to situations right here on campus i-are nowhere to be found. Are there any professors, secretaries, security men, turnkeys or stu- dents who have alternate viewpoints and who will-express them for the remaining two summer issues or for the twice-weekly onslaught beginning September 1 1 ?
