VOL. XXX NOVEMBER 16 df U Z N O . 11 Budget causes silent moment by D. John Lynn There was one minute of solemn silence in the SUS council meeting last week, but it wasn’t part of the Rememberance Day observances. It occured when treasurer Chris Martin Presented conncil with the drafts of the final society budget. Each councillor quickly flipped to the page containing his particular budget, and — silence. AA I X SUS budget offers few surprises There were few big surprises in this budget. The Society has been facing a finance problem for years now, but no council has ever taken steps to increase the student activity fee. Other Universities with comparable programs and comparable enrolments have double or triple our fee. Total revenue of the society amounts, to $62,900. This includes student fees ($15.00 per student) and revenue from the Evening Student’s Association which is applied toward joint programs. The budget is spread thinly over all organs of the society. Largest cuts were given to the Publications Board and the SUS administration. The Publication board publishes The Georgian, Garnet the Yearbook Prism the Literary Magazine, Handbook, and Directory, as well as a host of minor publications for Political and Ethnic clubs and other groups The Pubs board also generates considerable revenue for itself through advertising carried in its various organs. The Georgian receives about $10,000 from the Pubs board budget, but generates another $14,500 which is necessary for the financing of the publication. For the first time this year, there is no SUS contingency allotment, and Treasurer Martin has budgeted a deficit of some $800.00. According to past experience, it was found that this would be made up on the overall budget at the final accounting. The administration allotment amounts to 25% of the total budget. Following are some of the larger expenses in this area: The “ salaries” item includes the SUS share of the salaries of the SUS administrator and the SUS receptionist. Up to now the University administration has paid the bulk of their salaries, but Council passed a motion several months ago which will have next year’s budget cover their total salaries. A strange allotment in the budget is liability for two typewriters that have been slolen from basement offices. They cost $275.00 each. A radio Sir George tape recorder was also purchased for over $600.00.

Budget causes silent momentby D. John Lynn

There was one minute of solemn silence in the SUS council meeting last week, but it wasn’t part of the Rememberance Day observances. It occured when treasurer Chris Martin Presented conncil with the drafts of the final society budget.

Each councillor quickly flipped to the page containing his particular budget, and — silence.

SUS budget offers few surprises

There w ere few big surprises in this budget. The Society has been facing a finance problem for years now, but no council has ever taken steps to increase the student activity fee. Other Universities with comparable program s and comparable enrolments have double or trip le our fee.

Total revenue of the society amounts, to $62,900. This includes student fees ($15.00 per student) and revenue from the Evening Student’s Association which is applied toward joint program s.

The budget is spread thinly over a ll organs o f the society. Largest cuts w ere given to the Publications Board and the SUS administration.

The Publication board publishes The Georgian, Garnet the Yearbook Prism the L iterary Magazine, Handbook, and D irectory, as w e ll as a host o f minor publications fo r Politica l and Ethnic clubs and other groups The Pubs board also generates considerable revenue fo r itse lf through advertising carried in its various organs.

The Georgian rece ives about $10,000 from the Pubs board budget, but generates another $14,500 which is necessary for the financing o f the publication.

For the firs t time this year, there is no SUS contingency allotment, and Treasurer Martin has budgeted a deficit of some $800.00. According to past experience, it was found that this would be made up on the overa ll budget at the final accounting.

The administration allotment amounts to 25% of the total budget. Following are some of the la rger expenses in this area:

The “ sa laries” item includes the SUS share o f the salaries of the SUS administrator and the SUS receptionist. Up to now the University administration has paid the bulk o f their sa laries, but Council passed a motion severa l months ago which w ill have next yea r ’ s budget cover their total salaries.

A strange allotment in the budget is liab ility for two typewriters that have been slolen from basement o ffices. They cost $275.00 each.

A radio Sir George tape recorder was also purchased fo r over $600.00.

Each saw that his original budgetary estimate, presented severa l months ago, had been trimmed considerably, in some cases as much as fifty per cent.

And where a ll councillors d iscovered that everyone had the same beef, they rea lized that it would be pointless to scream for m ore money.

this yea r ’s university campaign depends on the participation of the students” , said Richard Adel- stein, chairman of the drive. “ To achieve our objective of 1750pints w ill require the support o f a large part o f the student body” , he added.

Icemen off to flying start

On Friday night the Georgian lived up to pre-season predictions, downing CMR 7-4 in a rough, hard-hitting hockey game. Leading the way for Sir George were Berry Matthew and Eastman with two goals each, while Ron Graham counted a singleton.

SIR GEORGE WILLIAMS UNIVERSITY

Brian marries mourning follows

THE U N TH IN K AB LE HAS H A PPE N E D . The fem a le student body has procla im ed an o ffic ia l day o f mourning at S ir G eorge. The sp ider has been trapped in his own web. The one-and-only P ro fe s so r M ichael Brian has plunged into the sea o f m atrim ony.

A fter many years of playing the cat-and-mouse game, Michael Brian has decided to settle down and . . .

In an exclusive interview with the Georgian, the prof stated that he recommended the institution v e ry highly. He claimed that he had chosen the date of Nov. 5th in order that he might honour Macbeth on this occasion. “ Remember, rem em ber the fifth of November; Gunpowder, treason and plot.

M rs. B. is the form er Mary M cllwraith and is , incidentally, an assistant P ro fessor of Mathematics at Sir George. The two love-b irds spent their brief honeymoon in the Eastern tounships over the week-end, and as usual the p rof was late for his lecture Monday morning. (A t least

this time he had a legitim ate excuse.)

P ro fessor Brian made the follow ing comments on the wedding. “ Everyone in attendence litspark lers and paraded aboutproducing a spectacular effect and defin itely made this a distinctive occasion .” “ In class he stated that “ Man does not lose his freedom in English 221, but that woman alone is bound bym arriage .”

Form erly being Sir G eorge’s man about town, what effect w ill his m arriage have upon his worshipping female students? We put this question to a co-ed and she replied, “ My illusions have been shattered,” as she ran off weeping. For the male students his m arriage is an answer to their prayers. At last they can continue where the prof left off.

Culture of all lands Treasure Van theme

" / do not leant my house to be walled in on all sides and my windows to be stuffed. I want the cultures o f all lands to be blown about my house as freely as possible. ”

These words o f the late Mahatma Gandhi express the theme of Treasure Van, a project sponsored by W orld University Service of Canada. November 21-26 Treasure Van w ill bring to the campus an exotic collection of handicrafts from more than thirty countries. Not only w ill these goods, ranging from the b izarre to the beautiful, be on display, but they w ill also be on sale at prices ranging from fiv e cents to $150.

The exhibition and sale w ill be open daily in Budge Hall. Admission is fre e , and the students who are organizing this local version of an Asian bazaar hope that members of the public w ill attend in large numbers, as in previous years.

Mysterious looking statues from New Guinea w ill be staring across

Miss Evening Student

Nomination form s are now available for E.S.A. queen at annex room 225 and deadline is Nov. 23. A ll single evening d i­vision g ir ls are e lig ib le from Sir George or those in their last year of Sir George W il­liam s High School. “ M iss Eve­ning Student” w ill be crowned at the Christmas Ball, Decem ­ber 10 th in the Gold Room o f the R itz Carleton Hotel. Carol Wardman, last years queen, w ill do the honours. The applicants w ill be judged on: personality, intelligence, poise, speech, dress and grooming.

Non-confidence

moved against

Pubs ChairmanThe P u b l i c a t i o n s B o a r d

yesterday passed a motion of non-confidence against Chairman Tom Scurfield.

The motion passed with no opposing votes and only one abstention.

The grounds for the motion were “ negelct o f duty” . Most o f the B o a r d members fe lt that Mr. Scurfield was no longer taking an active interest in the affairs of the Publications Board.

M r Scurfield was not present at the meeting.

“ M i . Scurfield has not attended the past two meeting of the Board” , one member said.

Vice-Chairm an Michael M ercer has assumed the duties of Chairman tem porarily.

M r. Scurfield had tendered his resignation to the Board two weeks previously, at which time his letter was refused. The Chairman did not resubmit his resignation, saying that he would continue in his o ffice until such time as the Board sponsored someone to r e ­place him.

V is ito rs who are m usically inclined can try their sk ills on hunting horns from England (or taxi horns from Bombay), flutes from Yugos­lavia, bells from India drums from Mexico, Korea and East A fr ica , and a “ finger piano” from N igeria .

The idea o f Treasure Van was firs t conceived in a p risoner-o f- war camp in S i n g a p o r e by a Canadian ambulance d river , M rs. Ethel Mulvany. She resolved that, when the war was over, she would do everything possible to help people anywhere who w ere worse o ff than herself, particularly by stimulating a demand fo r the goods made by the hands (and hearts) of such people. The firs t sale was held at Queen’s University in 1952 and there have been Treasure Van tours o f Canadian universities each year.

The tours enable World U n iver­sity Service o f Canada to develop Its program m es o f international co -operation and a s s i s t a n c e between students and professors in d ifferent countries. Treasure Van also seeks to arouse the interest o f Canadians in the crafts and cultures of other countries. It simultaneously enables craftsmen in developing countries to raise their standards of liv ing by provid­ing a market for their goods.

Loyola makes statement on

UGEQThe following announcement was

forwarded to THE GEORGIAN concerning the position of Loyola on Union Generate des Etudiants du Quebec early this week.

The S t u d e n t Administrative Council o f Loyola College feels that it must correct some erroneous opinions as to the reason why Loyola College did not become a member of l ’Union Generate des Etudiants du Quebec at the last UCEQ Congress, thus refusing to follow the lead of M cGill Univer­sity, Sir George W illiam s U n i v e r s i t y and Marianopolis College.

UGEQ accepted the other three English-speaking universities and colleges within its womb on the understanding that these institut­io n s had a period o f ten months to “ norm alize” their relations with the Canadian Union of Students (GUS); it was made clear by the General Assem bly at the UGEQ Congress that, in this case, to “ norm alize its relations with” means “ to leave” . Now, the student leaders at Loyola rea lize the meaningful contribution that their fe llow students could give to UGEQ, and indeed to Quebec society as a whole, as well as the contri­bution that UGEQ could bring to them, if Loyola became a member of UGEQ. However, the Loyola delegates at the UGEQ congress decided to WITHDRAW application, because of the s t i p u l a t i o n s mentioned above, until a detailed study o f both UGEQ and Cus could be completed. A fter this study, we w ill be in a much better position to judge which of the two Unions w ill best allow Loyola to reach its goals and to contribute to society In the meantime, Loyola w ill try to maintain very close personal contacts with UGEQ.

Editor resigns after dispute with council

Staff of U of M paper Quartier Latin resign

M O N T R E A L (C U P ) — Led by editor Jacques Elliot, the entire staff of the University of Montreal campus paper the Q U AR TIER L A T IN has resigned following a council vote of non-confidence Nov. 9.

The paper, that called itself "the largest socialist bi-weekly in the world” , has gone down before an attack on its radical ideology, its treatment of Quebec political figures, its Vietnam policy and the quality of its news coverage.

The motion to fire the editor was introduced by representatives of the faculty of engineering and was passed 30-10 in council at the end of a three hour debate.

Michael McAndrew and Louis Legendre, two members of the U of M student council, have also resigned accusing union president Michel Pelletier of shirking his role has a leader of student unionism, even though the voted against the Firing. The two were secretary-general and vice-president ofthe union and were strong supporters of the Q U AR TER L A T IN .

McAndrew had previously come close to losing his position in September when he wrote a blistering attack on Gerard Pelletier and Pierre-Eliot Trudeau accusing them of betraying Quebec by becoming federal Liberals.

Following the resignations.The Q U A R T IE R L A T IN has ceased publication until until a new

staff can be found.But U of M is not without a paper. Mr. Elliot’s staff assisted by

the two ex-council members have produced the first number of the CAM PUS L IB R E a publication with the same tone as the old Q U A R T IE R L A T IN . The new paper is in no way affiliated with the student council.

The council move to fire the newspaper staff has come as the climax of a mounting campaign both on and off campus to have the publi­cation changed.

On Oct. 28 several thousand engineers burned half the copies of the Q U A R T IE R L A T IN in protest against what they called the "morbid negativism and intransignent anarchism” of the publication.

Chief Justice Dorion of Quebec had also called on students to clean up the paper.

The fall of Mr. Elliot’s staff is considered a major defeat for U of M ’s extreme nationalists.

Devils, demons and destruction

Devils, demons, and destruction comprised a large part o f Richard Wilkonson’ s speech on Voodooism, last week. T h e missionnary informed the students ofthe Voodoo Religion as he had observed it in Haiti where he worked for several years. M r. Wilkonson directed a secondary s c h o o l , Marantha College, in Haiti. There, he and several other m issionaries brought the word o f the Gospel to the inhabitants and helped to develop communities by running schools, hospitals, and youth organizations

M r. Wilkonson presented to Georgian students a comparison of the Christian and Voodoo relig ions. He pointed out that there were many s im ila rities between the two faiths, but that one was a counterfeit o f the other. The Christian theology was based on a be lie f in God who has a purpose for his people. This plan is for the b e t t e r m e n t o f mankind.

Voodooism, on the other hand, believes in appeasing the evil d e m o n s who p l a g u e man. Voodooism is a religion o f fear — a fear o f the anoverpow eringforce which is out to destroy, a fear of a Satan who tr ies to undermine the good in the world.

These believers pray to the evil spirits because they are intimidated by them. Said the M issionary, they have no need to worship a God who is good and kind. Such a being w ill not harm them, so why bother with Him.

One rather very characteristic o f Voodooism is Demon Possession, this being a state in which a Devil takes over the personality o f the individual, preventing him from having any control of himself.

The dread o f Demon Possession lead many p e o p l e towards

Christianity. They learned that a strong faith in Jesus Christ would drive out the most powerful o f the Voodoo spirits.

Mr. Wilkonson summed up his talk by remarking that Christianity has helped many form er Voodoo follow ers. He fee ls satisfied in the work o f the C h r i s t i a n m issionnaries, and he knows that the word o f Christ w ill continue to be a source o f inspiration to mankind.

Radio Sir GeorgeRadio S ir George has now

been operating for almost four months. Have you been listening? W ell we intend to find out. The survey mentioned last week w ill be out either Wednes­day on Thursday ( If the good Lord ’ s w illing and the creek don’t r is e ). Speaking of water, radio S ir George has a great show each week.

Next Friday when you fe llas are out with your g ir ls , Tune into Radio Sir George. (Vacuum tubes give a sexy atmosphere in the dark). They may even present special music to watch submarine races in Beaver Lake by.

Speaking of beaver lake,the survey is our only indication o f what you people want. Please answer it honestly. Even If you have never listenend they won’t mind. (Just don’t leave finger prints). If you have any sugges­tions, please state them in the spaces provided at the bottom o f the impending survey ques­tionnaires.

CriticismsThis ed itoria l is based on the prem ise that

there Is a need for this university to improve its standards and expand Its fac ilities. If you are satisfield with the present standards and are content to watch an intersting student programme from the lobby outside Birks Hall then I suggest you read no furthur. For those of you who remain, here is a crit ica l analysis of our University.

In the main I believe that S ir George Is beginning to move in a planned course and a ll past weaknesses are being corrected. Physical expansion w ill soon be a rea lity. We w ill soon have a w ell designed campus with pleasant surroundings, conducive to an academic atmosphere.

More full time qualified staff are being hired and the lib rary is being improved adm inistratively and through the acquisition of additional books.

But more has to be done.The university must have a much larger number

o f scholarships and bursuries available for deserving and needy students. Money for this must be searched for in a ll places. If this already is being done and nothing is being acheived, the a ffi­liation o f the University to the Young Men’ s Christian Association must be investigated. This relationship may hold the key.to the financial programme.

To be absolutely free of any external control, d irect or indirect, little or large, the University must, I believe, drop a ll connections with the YM CA. S ir George has reached adulthood, so to speak, and must continue on its own. Many universities have dropped the affiliation of their foundres, as an independant organ, and have continued most admirably. Queenn’s Harvard, and Yale are only a few to support this proposal.

More qualified full time teachers must be employed here. Instructors are presently being encouraged towards degrees at a post-graduate leve l. It should become the policy that any candidate being considered for promotion to Associate or full Pro fessor must possess a Doctoral degree, or at least a M aster’s degree. Of course, in the same vein, salaries should be raised for qualified personnel.

A system o f sabatical leaves for all staff should be established. A professor should be able, every so often, to leave his job for a year to study and travel in other areas of the world. One tends to become stale by remaining in one place so long.

Scholars from other universities should be invited to v is it the University for a term as a visiting lecturer. This can be done with the co­operation of other universities on a reciprocal basis.

The student should be challenged in his studies m ore than he is at present. This is a problem that is prevalent in the m ajority of American and Canadian U niversities. Examinations should be more difficult and any so-called “ snap” courses be eliminated. To stimulate the intellect of the student m ore SEMINARS and study groups should be formed in m ore than he severa l courses at present.

EACH STUDENT should have a faculty advisor to AID him in independentt intellectual pursuits and academic work.

These are my recommendations to the University In order to make it a more respected and perfect Institution o f higher learning. These recomman- dations need the support of the whole student body in order to make S ir George W illiams University a “ Un iversity” .

Letters to. the EditorGeorgian Liberal

Dear Madam,I was very Interested in the

political supplement called “ The Georgian L ib e ra l” in last week ’s issue ofthe “ Georgian” . There are however severa l questions which I would like to ask.

Fully one and a half pages ofthe four page spread consisted of photographs of Mr. Fatal and M r. Kalnitsky in various endearing poses. Is there anyone else in the club? Or Is It that M r. Fatal and M r. Kalnitsky are the two most photogenic members of the club? It seems to me that whenever there ’ s a camera around, Kalnitsky and Fatal are to be found hanging on to one another’s coat-ta ils, stumbling over whoever is being photographed, in attempt to get a “ piece o f the action” .

Equally disappointing was the “ L ibera l Club Policy fo r 1965- 66.” With a few exceptions they seem to have gathered every t r i ­v ia l, u n c o n t r o v e r s i a l , and unpolitical issue that they could find. A re we to gather from this policy then, that the most pressing problem confronting the L ibera l Club of Sir George is the esta­blishment of drive-in theatres in Quebec?

In his “ Statement” M r. K a l­nitsky said (among other nonsen­s ica l things) that “ we, as Liberals have committed ourselves to a politica l philosophy” but nowhere in the supplement is this philo­sophy spelled out or even discus­sed. A re you sure you have one, M r. Kalnitsky? Aside from going to Innumerable conventions and parties, what exactly does the L ibera l political philosophy in­volve?

Finally, another quotation in the same “ Statement” runs: “ the student L ibera l thus commits him ­se lf to the betterment o f the society In which he liv e s ” . As the President o f the L ibera l Club of S.G.W.U., M r. Kalnitsky, what have you done to better the society In which you live? Or is this just

a L ibera l platitude, lib era lly given?

HumorDear Madam,

I would like to know what has happened to the humourous side o f the Georgian. Humour, I feel, seems to be totally absent in our paper.

In the latest Georgian, Nov.2, humour reached its peak in the artic le on the stolen flag! My own response is found in many stu­dents and frequently.

I rea lize that a school news­paper must provide news and s i­m ilar articles, but It should also provide some entertainment. The­se numerous artic les on UGEQ, Viet Nam, Teach-Ins, Debates, etc. aren’ t exactly “ sending students into the a is les” .

A PleasureDear Madam,

Because I know how lim ited your space fo r “ L e t t e s to the Editor” is, this letter Is designed to be short, concise, and consistent with clarity in the true fashion o f fundamental journalism.

On behalf of the 7ht International Seminar Committee and more specifically , on my behalf, I would like to thank you and your ass is ­tant Editor for the help and time which you have devoted to the Seminar.

I can assure you, Madam, that without your combined help, the Seminar would not have been as successful as it was.

Thank you once again.W .T. MURRAY, A rts 11 Publicity Department,7th International Seminar

Warm heartsDear Madam,

I wish to thank M r. Lynn for devoting precious studying time to proof-read the Bogge. I am sure the Editor of the Bogge appre­ciates the critis ism of a learned A rts student. It must warm the

hearts of the Engineering students to think that finally they have been noticed by other faculties.

Because of workload an Engi­neering student has, time is va­luable and thus he is unable to participate in University activities to any great extent. It is evident in the budget received by the En­gineering Association that some students thought that vie had flus­hed ourseves down the “ Bogge” “ D R A I N ” . We have been re-d iscovered .

Many universities have to put up with an Engineering Faculty and in S.G.W.U. this is the way it is .

MR. R . HEATH,Secretary,Engineering Association

Who is Mr. Lynn?Dear Madam,

I am writing in regards to John Lynn’s letter to the editor entitled “ Bogge Shot Down” which appeared in last week ’s Georgian. When I read this letter I immediately wondered who this M r. Lynn was. Not being a member of the in group of the basement set, the name fa iled to ring a bell. I d ’idn’ t have to look too far for my answer for there on page 12 o f the Georgian, lo and behold, John Lynn’ s column.

Not even the Bogge, which John Lynn so severe ly criticised, is so hard up for artic les that its own staff mem bers are obliged to write letters to the editor. I would like to suggest that in fu­ture, when you r editorial pages have that blank look, before you go to M r. Lynn, try a cartoon.

George Young, Engineering III Ed. note: Mr. Lynn is a contributor to the Georgian in the capacity o f columnist and holds the same right as any student o f this university or, in fact, anyone at all, to write letters to this paper. The Georgian cannot possibly print a ll letters received — there are too many. So it is not a case o f "that blank look ,” Mr. Young.

English QuebecDear Madam,

A lthough I hesitate to criticism e Monsieur Landry I feel it my duty

to c la r ify the historical position o f the English o f Quebec. May I also suggest that discrim inatory practices against the French lan­guage in other parts o f Canada do not constitute an ethical basis for s im ila r measures in Quebec, however wrong they may be.

It is natural that French Ca­nadian (Quebecois) should identify with both their autonomous gover- mental system in Quebec City and on occasion with regional parties. However the English o f Quebec, a good many o f whom entered the Cantons de l ’Est after the Am e­rican Revolution, have not succeded in identying with Quebec.

This resulted from cultural dif­ferences and from what they re ­garded as storation and misuse of British democtratic form s. Lob­bying is tradition in most demo- cractic countries including the United States but does not p reva il at the constituency level in the British system. Even in the darkest days o f Quebec the English areas o f rural and urban Quebec re­mained reform minded under nota­ble Quebecois voices o f change such as Em ilien Lafrance.

Unable to identify as a solid force in Quebec the English came to identify with Ottawa as Cana­dians. To avoid conflict I w ill define English Quebecer as the man in the street not the big business­man o r the Ontario born. The English Quebecers feel at home in a ll parts o f Canada as no one does. Forgive them i f they are unable to concede regional and linguistic priority.

English regionalism has come to exist more on the basis o f economical units than on cultural or regional units. One can hardly call the Ontario election results as regional. To refute the ridiculous suggestion that British Columbia is a state let us review the situation intelligently, not by quoting extrem ists. A fter a month o f campaigning Mr Bennet succes- ded in securing 4 seats out o f 22 in his cry for a federal voice. Who w ill form the state, Douka- bours may be?

The new force in Canada is mo­deration. A ll the Canadian federal leaders have called for unity. Yes, George, even the chief. We should reach fo r social justice not prio­rity. The Canadian people, (May I call them one) are prepared not to react but t o concede. This is the sp irit in which our country was founded and I say let us hail its revival.

John Kerr

Watch CouncilDear Madam,

In a form er letter o f mine which your newspaper neglected to print, I suggested that Council must be watched. W ell, some o f us tried, but our “ illustrious” Council still joined us to UGEQ. In the process o f an open meeting on the subject, the constitution was rejected; and points o f order were also rejected as not existing.

Our “ illustrious” Council is at it again. It is so wonderful that it is paying its e lf salaries at our

"UGEQ - not a national union”CUP — UGEQ is no longer a national union. At its Congress last week the Union

G enera le des Etudiants du Quebec tru ly becam e a union of Quebec students only.

The Anglo-Saxon m inority has taken its place at the heart of the Quebec student world as it has taken its place since Confe­deration at the heart of Quebec society.

Must we applaud this gesture o f fratern ity on the part of the two ethnic groups as the delegates at the Assem bly did? W ill the entrance of the English students be in keeping with the objectives set by UGEQ at its foundong Congress? W ill their entry hinder the progressive nature of UGEQ?

I personally do not aplaud the entry o f English students into UGEQ. I was accused and I w ill be accused again of racism , but I s t ill maintain that UGEQ is not yet ready to accept a m inority group into its midst.

For severa l years, M cG ill has been affiliated with CUS. The foun­ding of UGEQ caused the French un iversities to withdraw from the Canadian Union of Students and thus it became a charasteristica lly ethnic union. Quebec was rep re ­sented within CUS by English students only.

M cG ill until this year, teen de to be reactionary and far from concern with socia l problems. It was only recently that the uni­vers ities of British Columbia, Toronto and M cGill became truly concerned with social problems, la rge ly due to the influence of Quebec students.

In this perspective, M cGill was confronted with the f o l l o w i n g dilemma; would it be better for her to remain in CUS and thus intensify its progressive ten­dencies, or would it be better for her to play her role openly in the society which is ours: that of Quebec.

In fact, most of the Council members of McGill pre ferred to play both roles by affiliating equally with UGEQ and CUS. But UGEQ did not accept this double affiliation . As a result, McGill chose to identify herself with

UGEQ. She is now a member of Quebec society.

If Quebec is to be herself, if the students have a ro le to play in her remaking, they must all participate equally. It is now or never.

The student council of M cGill has voted to join UGEQ, but it is not supported by a ll of the student body. In a situation analagous to that of the University o f Montreal student union, some students accuse the student council of being non-representative.

The newly elected student council tends to lean towards the le ft. It is ready to recognyze the nationalist and socia list aspi­rations of Quebec, but “ les white socks” do not agree.

The unilingualism of UGEQ and M cG ill’ s withdrawal from CUS do not seem to please them. The president of the M cGill students’ society thinks that a referendum w ill be demanded and she is not sure it w ill be successful. UGEQ has accepted M cG ill, but McGill has not yet ratified this agreement.

ED. N O TE : This comment arti­cle appeared in the Quartier La ­tin Novem ber 4. The Quartier Latin group, and like-minded student government members o f the University o f Montreal, were the leading opponents o f the entry o f the English Quebec universities into the Union Ge­nerale des Etudients du Quebec at the recent UGEQ Congress. The byline was missing from the original article.

F irst o f a ll, virtually no one opposed the action. Is not UGEQ the union o f Quebec students? And are not M cG ill and Sir George a part of Quebec? Then surely if M cG ill and S ir George accept our conditions, there is no reason to re jec t them. M oreover, it seems that the executive o f UGEQ did not only accept the English students but sought them out in the firs t place. Daniel Latouche, d irector of the bureau o f international a ffa irs declared at a press

conference that UGEQ insisted on affiliating with M cGill.

According to him, this affiliation perm its UGEQ to represent abroad not only French Canadians, but also Quebec as a te rrito ry distinct from the rest of Canada. This pretext of UGEQ’s powers of representation seems to have exerted pressure not only in the international world but also with the government of Quebec.

Richard Guay, ex-vice president for public a ffa irs of UGEQ, did not help the cause by presenting an ultimatum to Quebec Education M inister G erin -Lajoie. The latter does not seem to take seriously the 55,000 students of UGEQ. Yet if M cGill students who are so reasonable and so pragmatic, also demand with UGEQ the freezing of fees, the government would doill to ridicule the students.

Another practical reason leaUGEQ to accept M cGill: money, the 11,500 students of McGill with the 4,000 o f Sir George, at $1 per capita would help considerably the financial difficulties of UGEQ.

These are the o ffic ia l reasons of the executive. Two hundred, as well, accepted M cG ill’ s entry with generous enthusiasm and a near-unanimous vote. Only Michel Pe lle tier , Michel Vaillaincourt, and two delegates from the Arts Faculty at the University of Montreal, voted against McGill.

Why this unanimity and general enthusiasm, why, above all, this debate before the vote in which no argument of a political nature was raised? Large ly because, whether one is w illing to admit it or not, the entrance o f English- speaking students has a political implication. But this w ill be discussed later.

We can only hypothesize answers to these questions: the delegates may have acted out o f fear of being accused o f nationalism, or out of a feeling o f fraternity that dominates any negotiotion between the two ethnic groups.

expense. Salaries, they’ll explain, are Honoraria. (You’l l read all about them in this issue o f the paper.)

I f you are prepared to have your student activity fee increased next year, then let Council go its m erry way. A ll too few Georgians were interested enough to elect

their government. The government is now going too far. Don’t let it!

The threat of Communism today has never been so intense. Their gradual gnawing away at freedom it disastrous. Sure there are many innocent people dying. And they w ill go on dying, just as they did at Hiroshima. But that is the price we must pay. That is the price the poor people of V iet Nam must pay. They may be the innocent victim s of the circumstances. But there is no other choice. If there w ere some way to overcom e this threat peacefully, I don’t think there is a doubt in anyone’s mind that the Americans would adopt it. But there is no other way. The communists use any method, no matter how ruthless, savage, or cru el to gain their ends. So what are we supposed to do. Sit back and say: Oh, we are not like the Communists, we are m o r e intelligent, we can find other ways besides violence to triumph over them . Everyone knows what would happen then. We would lose our freedom so fast we wouldn’t know what hit us.

Un projet qui prend de I'ampleur:

Un quartier etudiant d MontrealLa V ille de Montreal compte tro is grandes Universites qui,

ensemble, resolvent plus de 45,000 etudiants regu liers prenant des cours du jour et du so ir . II s ’y trouve, en plus, une multitude de colleges qui dispensent l ’enseignement au niveaupost-secondaire.Toute cette population d ’etudiants est dispersee aux quatre coins de la V ille .

Deux universites possedent des centres sociaux ou sont groupes les d ivers services de leurs associations. On y trouve des bureaux d ’administration, des salles a manger, des salles de receptions, des salles d’etudes, etc. A l ’Universite de Montreal, on a, en plus, trois residences pour etudiants qui se dressent a proxim ite du centre social, tandis que McGill en possede un plus grand nombre.

Mais ces residences ne peuvent accomoder qu’une petite minorite d ’etudiants et ceux qui ne peuvent s ’y loger doivent se trouver un appartement dans les environs. Les etudiants de Sir George W illiam s ne possedent pas de residences et ceux qui ne peuvent demeurer chez leurs parents doivent se debrouiller pour se loger.

Mais on note que, dans les quartiers avoisinant les universites, le prix des logements est “ gonfle” par des proprietaires plus soucieux de leur bien-etre que de la possibilite, pour les etudiants, de v iv re pres de l ’institution qu’ils frequentent.

U y a aussi un autre probleme qui me rite notre consideration: celui des salles de receptions. I Ia r r iv e trop souvent que, pour organiser un evenement social de quelque importance, il fa ille louer des salles dans des grands hotels; cette pratique, en plus d’e tre souvent dispendieuse, empeche souvent l ’esprit “ etudiant” de se manifester au cours de ces reunions.

L ’idee d ’un quartier etudiant a Montreal prit naissance a la fin de l ’annee academique 1964-65, a lors que Serge Menard, candidat a la presidence d e l ’AG EUM ,avaitinclusuntel projet a son program me. Avec le renouveau que Montreal donne a plusieurs quartiers, ce serait 1’occasion ideale pour discuter des possibilites du projet avec 1’administration de la V ille de Montreal.

En plus de residences adaptees aux besoins des etudiants, ce quartier comprendrait des etablissements reserves aux activites sociales et a d ’autres besoins qui nous caracterisent. Le tout serait gere selon des principes cooperatifs, ce qui perm ettrait des prix relativem ent bas qui correspondraient essentiellement au cout d ’operation du complexe.

Parm i les avantages d ’un quartier etudiant, mentionnons, entre autres, la facilite d ’echanger des idees entre membres de facultes et de langues differentes. La proxim ite des groupes des tro is universites et des colleges fac ilitera it aussi la tenue d ’evenements auxquels tous pourraient participer. Je pense a un carnaval d’hiver des etudiants de Montreal, a des representations theatrales speciales, ainsi qu’a plusieurs autres avantages de nature plus m aterielle comme un centre d ’entretien des automobiles, une cooperative d’achats, etc.

La realisation d ’un te l projet reg lera it le grave - problem e de communications qui existe presentement entre les d ivers groupes. Ce serait la fa£on ideale de mettre fin au mythe des deux “ races” et a la guerre fro ide qui a lieu presentement.

Depuis quelques mois, l ’Association des Etudiants a form e un comite qui etudie, les possibilites d’etablir un centre etudiant pour Sir George, qui comprendrait essentiellement les memes services que ceux du centre social de l ’Universite de Montreal. Nous avons besoin d ’un centre etudiant et, parce que nous ne sommes pas encore fixes dans le choix d’un terrain et parce que les plans n’ont pas encore ete etablis, je cro is qu’i l conviendrait d’examiner, en collaboration avec les representants des autres groupes d’etudiants, la possibilite d ’etablir, a Montreal, un quartier etudiant en commun.

L ’administration du Maire Drapeau, qui, a plusieurs occasions, a prouve son dynamisme, ne pourrait qu’etre enchantee d ’un tel projet et nous sommes certains qu’e lle fera tout en son pouvoir pour rendre sa realisation possible.

Le financement de cette entreprise pourrait e tre confie a l ’entreprise privee, qui profite le plus du fait que les etudiants puissent pousser leur instruction. Le gouvernement, il va sans d ire, y serait aussi pour une grande partie des fra is . Apres consideration sommaire, il n’y a pas de doutes qu’un centre etudiant sera it rentable, financierement.

our dealings with the Communists. We must be savage, ruthless, and everything else to win. And it is they the Communists who are forcing this upon us. They are making us savage, they are taking away humanity. And that is why we must beat them — com pletely. Once we have done this, we can go back to being human beings.

G e o r g i a n P l a y e r s

The Georgian P layers are presenting their major production of the year, “ Man is Man” , in Birks Hall on Nov. 27 and 28, and Dec. 4.

Ttiis yea r ’s play concerns a simple Irish packer, Gaby Gay, who is transformed by the events and people around him into a savage k ille r. T ie philosophic theme revolves around the equation Man-Man; that one man is like another and a man can be changed into anything.

Jack Cunningham who plays the part o f Galy Gay, is a fourth-year student at Sir George, born in Ottawa and now living in Montreal. M. Cunningham’ s experience in the theatre is wide. He has acted with the Playwright’s Workshop, the Unkowa P iayers, and also played the lead two years ago in Sir G eorge’ s production of “ The Hostage” . This past summer, M r. Cunningham was box office and house manager at the P iggery Playhouse at North Hatley. In addition to this, M r. Cunningham was producer of the Georgian P layers, 1963-64, and was also co-founder and form er producer of Instant Theatre. He resigned his interest to return to University.

In the summer o f 1963, she auditioned and was accepted to the Central School of Speech and Drama in London, England, but decided instead, to return to University.

W illiam Condy, who is playing the part of Jeriah Jip in the Georgian Players production, was previously stage manager for the Verdun High School production of “ Naoii’ s Flood” and worked in public relations for “ Seven Nuns of Las Vegas” . He also played a principal part in a high school performance of “ T im e Out For G inger” .

M r. Condy, who is presently in second year at Sir George and working as office manager and features writer for Radio Sir George, said, “ It is an invaluable experience to work in a production which is so demanding upon a p layer’ s capabilities as an actor” .

The part o f Polly Baker w ill be played by Gerald Gorn who is a graduate of Nortmount High School and Is now a th ird-year psychology major here at Sir George. M r. Gorn’s theatrical experience includes acting in Arthur Veronka’s production of “ Desperate Hours” , and co- starring in Montreal Repertory Company production of “ Bullfight” .

The play, “ Man is Man” , has a number of interesting production possib ilites. Aside from the eerie lighting and the voluminous sound, there is the availability of a massive forestage in Birks Hall. The projection of slides in old moviola fashion on a screen mounted over the procenium of the stage, w ill provide an intriguing effect.

Stage Manager David Smith became interested in the theatre as a youth and joined the Children’s Theatre. He did some acting and later became interested in stage lighting. His professional experience includes three performances with Shoestring Theatre, and the part of Nono at La Poudriere in “ Man, Beast and V irtue” by Luigi Pirandello.

Mr. Smith also appeared in a Radio Canada episode, “ Rue de L ’Ance” , which was filmed in Gaspo. I^ ter he played severa l small ro les in history for the National F ilm Board. Most recem ly, Mr.Smith became interested in film work and for the last two summers has worked as production trainee for the National Film Board. Presently he is a second-year arts student at Sir George, majoring in drama.

Galy Gay, portrayed by lack Cunningham, talks with his wife, played by Sylvia Ko/.ierok in this scene from Man is Man, the Georgian Players major produc­tion.

Miss W illiams became . interested in this major production through the Drama Workshop. She said,

| “ Property work is enormously interesting. It leads us I from pawn shops to the Salvation Army, and our biggest i problem to date has been securing something which S; can vaguely resem ble an elephant head yet does not | rea lly look like one.”

Susan Edelberg w ill also be helping with the Children’s Theatre, and courses in the Art of Play Production under Norma Springford. Miss Edelberg said, “ I am mainly interested i n a c t i n g but i t is necessary and desirable to get expeW rtc# in all facets of production.

Maya LightbodyH ush a bye baby Now d o n ’t get a twinge While M um m y a n d D addy A re out on a binge

This isn ’ t Pop peotry, but it is typical o f the rhymes and cliches written on the surface o f Maya’ s sculpture. The work I am re fe rrin g to is the collection o f eight pieces o f sculpture and eighteen prints currently on exhibit at G alerie L ib re . M iss Lightbody or simply Maya as she p re fers to be known, is a Polish artist who began work­ing in Montreal in 1951 and since then has participated In several national exhibitions.

The pieces o f sculpture, which could also be c lassified as “ cons­tructions” due to their collage-like form , are whimsical, gay and com ­pletely divorced from the tradi­tional conception o f sculpture. The structures take two fo rm s . The la r ­gest group consists of inverted wooden bowls with clay figures, ceram ic tiles , glass, and tinted paper mounted on the surface. “ Oh What A Love ly W orld” depicts the geographical areas o f the globe with ceram ic figures :•> .tegically placed to represent me various ethnics groups o f the world. Adja­cent to each grouping, Maya has inscribed in ink, cliches relative to that particular region. Her com­ment on North Am erica is “ IODE, League o f Women Voters, Voice o f Women, F lorence Nightingale, Renata Tibaldi, busy, busy,busy” . The introductory quotation that I ’ve used is inscribed on a s im ilar style work “ Children” . Ceramic child-like form s cover the surface along with the rhymes children chant while playing.

The second group o f structures are single column wooden rectangles, divided into separate

niches one on top o f the other each holding ceram ic figures. Ins­criptions relating to the central theme such as sly references to Maria Theresa In “ The G lory of the Baroque” are wrlttendown the sides o f the columns. The figures in all the sculptures are rude form s but delightfully modelled with laughing faces. Despite the light­hearted treatment o f theme, I could not help but detect a strong inter­jection o f sarcasm . The structures are not great works o f sculpture, but are enjoyable and stimulating in their humourous individuality.

The rem ainder o f the works on exhibition are intaglio etchings created with dampened paper and an ionited printing plate. The prints do not have the excitement o f the sculptures. The interest in the prints lie in the textural qualities where the paper has been pinched and raised to form unusual surface designs. The form are usually ova l­shaped and treated with muted blues, yellows, browns, and greys. Unfortumately the colours are often so drab and soft that they lose any power they might have had. The only print with dynamic tones was “ Fossil Form s” ; although the work I most enjoyed was “ Winter F ie ld ” . This etching is o f simple but strong design consisting o f a rust atmos­pheric background with the central snow field and winter sun formed by the bare untinted .areas o f the paper. The linear contours o f these shapes are created by raising and depressing the surface during the printing process. The m aterial no longer appears as m erely untinted paper but in its context and re la ­tionship to the background is very striking and the chilling atmos­phere o f winter is c learly defined.

• • • Montreal P a r t i t io nA new addition to the numerous

publications available portraying this throbbing metropolis is Hans van Der A a ’ s “ Montreal” . Through M s black and white picture study, he reflects the beauty, charm and grandeur o f Montreal, tastefully combining lens with brush.

An English text by Montreal radio commentator and journalist, L es lie Roberts, and the French equivalent written by Internationally known Canadian w riter, Robert Choquette serve as an introduction — a con­cise appreciation o f Modern Mont­real.

The tour then begins. It am al­gamates a ll aspects o f life in this boisterous city; viewed as a centre o f art, Industry, learning — a city surging with modern architecture. The reader is taken to the water­fron t to witness the fererish acti­v ity o f cargo handling, to Dorchester Boulevard fo r an im ­press ive b ird ’s eye view or to a grand parlour o f yesteryear in the Chateau de Ramezay.

Mr. van D er Aa does not ove r­look M ontreal’s natural beauty. He catches the comeliness o f Mount Royal, and a moment o f calmness at Beaver Lake as a youngster in his world o f dreams gazes at the still waters.

A portrait would not be complete o f course, without a look at Old

Montreal. M r. van Der Aa o ffe rs a magnificent view o f the in terior o f Notre Dame Church, with its beautiful carvings and paintings; a scene o f Jacques Cartier Square, once the garden o f the governor’ s palace; and a scene ofthe renowned Bonsecours Market. Through his photographs and paintings, there emanates a pride in this dual community — a community contain­ing two major ethnic groups, two languages and two distinct cultu­res.

Whether capturlngthe tranquility and beauty o f a bygone day in his painting o f the Jeanne LeB er House M arguerite Bourgeoys’ old con­vent, or the roaring o f the main tra ffic artery in his aeria l pho­tograph o f Cote des Neiges Road, Mr van Der Aa Is always consis­tent in sim plicity o f approach, and Montreal em erges as a'city charged with wonder.

“ M ontreal” would be an advan­tageous possession not only to the tourist, but to the native as well. The photography is superb both in reproduction and artistic layout, out whether or not a m ore vivid e ffect could have been achieved through the employment of color Instead of black and white, is an evaluation which must be made by the individual reader.

New sucess fo r instant theatre

The Partition , written by Jaques Languirand, is one of the best plays Instant Theatre has ever produced. The manner In which the play is presented is almost stratling in its originality. Basically a subtle comedey, Jacques Zouvi has directed the play so as it is witty at all times, and even reaches the point where humour is rollicking.

The partition (the title ) is a wall that separates two bedrooms in a lowgrade hotel. However, the separation is not seen; rather, the audience v isualizes it. The two identical rooms can be seen with each o f the actors, Colin Kane, and Kim Yaroshevskay on either side. A lonely young man hears someone moving in the adjacent room. He speculates aloud whether it Is a man or a woman. Having decided it is a woman, he contemplates on her appearance. The woman on the other side, rea liz ing there is a man in the next room does the same. Each pictures the type o f person they hope is on the other side o f the wall. The ir relationship becomes quite intimate through their exchange o f thoughts, and suspense r ises as the young man decides he must see her. Of course, their entire relationship would have been broken along with their Illu ­sions i f they met, and sensing this, the young man retreats into his room.

The actors talk to themselves as well as to each other, and their thoughts almost run parallel, so that one starts a sentence and the other finishes it. A t tim es, the actors do not seem to be communi­cating at a ll, but simply expressing aloud their s im ila r loneliness and frustrations. Perhaps the partition in this play is a very fine line drawn between rea lity and imagination.

The Negro in Canada...Who is he, what are his problems?The C a n a d ia n N e g ro

There is no commitment within the community; individuals maybe quite sincere in their libera l attitudes while they belong to organizations of various types which discrim inated. We rea lly don’t need this kind of double standard. It is generally true that i f the Negro works a little harder and tries a bit m ore, he w ill make it. but where w ill he be when he makes it? To a degree, the Negro can live anywhere he wants to live or work any place he wants to work, but he still asks himself why he is able to succeed. Is it because of a policy of tokenism?

T o k e n i s m in Canada is essentially an American import and w ill increase unless this country begins to orient itself towards a policy of multi racialism . . . I ’m also using this term w i t h i n the French-English problem.

I cannot subscribe to the notion which is widely held that Canada is a WASP country. There seems to be an attitude that this country was created for the WASPs, and that everybody else such as N egros , Jews, Italians, Poles, are here through the good graces of Christian Canada . . . Whose country is it, that do we teach our children? I have heard the expression “ speak English “ which means speak English.

The discrim ination which the Negro encounters here is not the same as the discrimination he encounters in the States and that is the problem. People tend to identify the two types as being one and the same thing. If you were to ask me if there was widespread discrim ination in housing, jobs, etc. I would have to answer no, but this does definitely not mean that there is no discrim ination and that Canadians can pat themselves on the back. It has happened, I mean there were and are people who were discrim inated

against in job hunting or housing, but this is not rampant. Up till now, discrim ination here was a psychological problem involving psychological pressures. Now, it seems, Am erican patterns are beginning to impose themselves on Canada, I fee l that as American control increases here, so does c lassica l discrim ination, through the Am erican owned subsidiaries and their employment policies.

The Selma demonstrations were fo r the U.S. South, but not for Canada. I related them to the U.S. and I am sure most Canadian Negroes did also.

There is probably only one Negro ghetto in Canada that’sA fr ic v ille , but this too is a special case. We can’t rea lly te ll if it is the result o f racia l or economic d is c r i­mination. It is a rea l problem though because it is hard to break

it up. The people there want to hang toghether.

I don’t however want to give the general ove r-a ll impression that things are pretty good here. Whites, I ’m talking about the liberals, have tended to think in term s of the American experience here, but Canada is a different case . . . it has a different history, different social makeup, and different immigration, although at present there is rea lly no coloured immigration worth mentioning — by design not by accident. In order to define the problem in Canada, I w ill have to give some definitions. “ The Canadian White is not nearly as white as the American white nor is the Canadian negro as black as the American black.’ ’ The real p r o b l e m for Canadians is, therefore, the fine line of distinction between black and white. It is alright for a negro to go to school with whites or work in an all white office, but if he makes moves to cross the colour

line in a social manner, if he intends on m arrying a white g ir l, and this by the way, is on the increase in Canada, then the line is c learly defined. In other words: He can get the job, but it stops there. In other words, we tend to define in terms of black and white for certain specific purposes. In the future, the problem should become more acute because the C a n a d i a n Negro is being biologically assim ilated. In other words, what are the whites going to do with a Negro brother in law in the Anglo-Saxon Protestant fam ily.

The Negro always seems to have the tendency to force situations. For example, when he enters into a situation, he is never accepted as is but is either suppressed, or elevated. He is treated differently because it is generally believed that he is different. As a consequence of this, his social mobility is affected either adversely or for his benefit. This

Aninterview

withNormanCook

is one theory that has been advanced for the success o f Negros in student politics here.

In general, I go where I want to go and do what I want to do, although there are situations in which I would fee l uncomfortable. “ Let me put it this way, I would feel pretty damned uncomfortable in M iss Montreal or the Nashery In Toronto.” These are, you see, pretty ethnic places in many senses.

One thing I would say is that Jews in general are more sympathetic and w ill go further out of their way to help Negroes. This is probably the result of being kicked in the teeth quite often, and, as a result, both groups i d e n t i f y readily in certainsituations. The Jew would probably be the firs t one to help tou fight a case of discrim ination, but he would also probably have a heart attack if you suggested taking out his s ister. That is the paradox.

“ The Canadian Negro is a marginal man in the classic sense of the word. He is Protestant, he is a little Jewish by association, he is a mulatto, . . . he’s spread out, . . . he is neither American, nor part o f Canadian Society h istorically recognized at any rate . . . He has no real culture of his own.” Probably the best thing that can happen in Canada is people t h i n k i n g in terms of multi- racialism on the government and personal level.

West Indian ViewpointMany West Indian students have

trouble trying to get into Canada. This seems to have little to do with their scholastic ability. This opinion is that o f Rosie Douglas, 4 th year A rts student at Sir George.

Rosie had to fight for three years in order to come here to study. When he firs t applied for a student visa to study agriculture in Ontario he was informed that he would have to spend three years on a Canadian farm in order to fam ilia rize

Rosie Douglas

him self with the techniques. Howe­ver, he was refused entry into this country because o f what the im m i­gration department described as an acute employment situation. When Mr. Douglas wrote to the Depart­ment and informed them that he had secured his three years employ­ment in advance from an Ontario farm er and that he had been accept­ed into the agricultural college he was once again frustrated. He was again informed b y the Dep’t o f Immigration that they could not accept his admission because o f “ acute unemployment in Canada”

Rosie next went to a lawyer in the West Indies and through him, got in touch with the Department Again his application was refused.

Astonished by this lack o f coo­peration on the part of the Canadian authorities, but determined to see his son enter a Canadian university, Rosie ’ s father cabled the Canadian government that he would pay for his son’ s working period. He made it c lear that Rosie would not work for a salary. This s h o w s quite c learly the lengths that Rosie and his fam ily were prepared to go.

and the unswerving position which the Immigration Department had adopted on this issue..

In a last d i t c h desperate manoeuver, Mr. Douglas contacted the farm er in Ontario and asked the farm er to go d irectly to the Cana­dian government in order to obtain some action. The farm er wrote to his own M .P. and explained the situation, outlining the steps that had been taken.

The M .P. then investigated and within twenty four hours, the matter which had dragged on for three years was cleared up and Mr. Douglas was cabled from Ottawa that he had been granted access to Canada. We must assume of course that the immigration de­partment had created a m iracle by solving Canada’ s acute unem­ployment c r is is within twenty four hours.

Mr. Douglas feels that situations such as his own have been created all too frequently by discrim inatory policies in Immigration. The pure fact is that at present, coloured students are not w illing to struggle in order to gain entry to a country which has shown by its attitudes that it does not want them.

The Conservative ViewpointPursuing this matter further, the Georgian

contacted M r. S. Clyke, B .A ., B.S.W., and

Executive Director of the Negro Community

Centre in Montreal, who said that, in employ­

ment, “ the Negro has to keep his shoe:- shined better” .

Referring to the Baily Case, which involved a nurse who was refused employment at one o f M ontreal’s prominent hotels, Mr. Clyke said that “ although the fault lay with the individual employee who did the hiring for the hotel, the hotel is still responsible for its employees and should answer for them” .

Mr. Clyke also confirmed that there was, indeed, discrimination in regards to housing. From his own up-bringing in the Maritimes, he cited the case of A fr ica v ille , “ a piece o f land in Halifax granted to the Negro by Queen V ictoria. “ Although Mr. Clyke said that he felt that, to some extent, the Negro him self was to blame for the conditions prevailing in the district with regards to bootlegging, and other evils, it should be noted that seldom did the governments (municipal, provin­cial or federa l) take steps to alleviate the squalid conditions that the coloured population o f Halifax was forced and even today is forced to live under.

So far as social equality is concerned, the Negro finds considerable discrimination in Golf Clubs and Social Clubs. M r. Clyke went on to say that although “ some Negro citizens are comfortable, I don’t think that

The most important questions you could ask about

a career with IBM ...answered here

Last year's graduates said tha t the fo u r m ost im portan t considerations to them in evaluating com panies w here they m ight start the ir careers w ere challenging w ork , ad­vancem ent opportun ities, educational o p ­portunities, and the use o f ingenu ity on the job.

Here is h o w IBM rates on these fo u r critica l factors:

Is there an opportunity to do challenging, exciting work at IBM ?

There is naturally a greater sense o f pa rtic ­ipation and invo lvem ent w hen the fie ld you w o rk in is as young, v igorous and grow ing as data processing. IBM is at the centre of w h a t has been called an industry w ith o u t bounds. Here you w ill find the d iversity and con tinu ing challenge o f a pioneering indus­try. IBM machines are assisting in atom ic research fo r industry, in space exp loration, in the com pila tion o f O lym pic Games results. They are help ing w here steel is produced, w here ships are bu ilt, w here oil w e lls are drilled. They are at w o rk in transporta tion, in agriculture, in real estate, in m edicine, in education, in advertising, in construction , in banking, in m anufacturing, in governm ent. The clim ate fo r innovation, new ideas, and fo r ta lented new people is unusually good. Challenges abound. Knowledgeable people w ith a broad range o f ta lents and abilities are needed, and IBM takes special pains to keep you from being cornered in con fin ing or restricting jobs. The com pany finds it good business to help y o u — and every other em ­ployee— to discover everything you can do. The excitem ent o f w o rk in g w here you can actua lly see the fu tu re em erging is here. W hatever your chosen area in th is fie ld , IBM can o ffe ry o u a broad spectrum o f stim ula ting activities.

Are there real opportunities for advancem ent at IBM ?

A person entering IBM now is still on the ground flo o r w ith respect to the g row th potentia l o f the data processing fie ld. There is room fo r steady advancement. It's up to you, bu t everything possible is done to help. The com pany has been bu ilt on the p rop ­osition tha t w e constantly im prove our p rod ­ucts and our techno logy w h ile provid ing a m aximum degree of satisfaction on the part o f our employees in the ir assigned tasks. IBM has a reputation to m aintain and on ly by m oving prom ising new people along can the com pany fu lfill its ow n promise fo r the future. The ind iv idua l's quest fo r opportun ity is w e lcom ed and encouraged. B igger jobs aw a it those ready to take on bigger respon­sib ilities.

ESA exec to attend IAESC congress

On Novem ber 19 th. Brian S evile of the Student’ s A ffa irs O ffice with four executives o f the E .S.A. w ill attend the International Association of Evening Students C ongress.

Those attending are Robert W. Cartlidge, President, Ian B ridger, co-curricu lar program chairman, Michael Petrovich second vie president, and Miss Karen Carson, firs t vice president.

The International association of Evening Student Councils referred to as the IAESC was founded at Sir George W illiams University, Montreal, Canada in 1960.

The IAESC was incorporated in 1964 as a non-profit organization. The fact that there was no student organization in North A m eri­ca whose philisophies and prac­tices embodied the eveningstudent was the main reason for the formation of this organization.

At the present time there are 35 member colleges and universi­ties from the United States and Canada. The IAESC in broken-up into seven regions. The IAESC represents not only individuals but evening students and evening edu­cation as a whole.

The region, in particular, repre­sents and deals p rim arily with evening student governments.It is affiliated with the Evening Student Personnel Association(ESPA) and the Association of the University and Evening Colleges (ACJEC).

We have and w ill continue to conduct business-education se­minars which are designed to bring about a better understanding bet­ween the business community and education world and a c loser coo­peration between the two.

Our representatives have spoken on the floor of the U.S., Senate with regard to the education act in defense o f Federal Loans to evening students.

What is the answer to this kind o f activity? We cannot deny these m inorities a vo ice. We cannot deny them the right to meet, and to plan and carry out programs.

In the case of the “ Quartier Latin ” they themselves have found the solution. They have established a sm aller publi­cation called “ Campus L ib re ” , which can propagate the doctrines and tenets of Marxian socialism without fear of reprisal by any o lfic ia l group of students. In allowing this, AGEUM is pro­testing the student body of U of M by ensuring that the views and desires of the student body in toto are represented in the offic ia l

organ of their association, The “ QUARTER L A T IN .”

At McGill, the Young Com­munist League publishes a sporadic newspaper called ROOTS. The theory would seem to hold here as well, but recent activities on that campus have implied that Mr. McFadden, a past member of the YCL, is too “ pink” for popularity. Tne McGill Council disagrees, and has endorsed the editorial policy of the Editors.

AGEUM

and

Le Quartier

Politics is like an iceberg. You see a bit of it on the surface, but you can be sure that there is a lot more under the water line.

It is with this thought in mind that I read short news stories in the daily press concerning the “ uproar” on the AGEUM (Universite de Montreal) camous.

“ LE QUARTIER L A T IN ” , the paper of the AGEUM students, has had a growing reputation over the past years of a decided socia list-m arxist Lent. Tne Editors themselves have never denied this, and in fact have stated that it was the largest bi-weekly socia list newspaper in the world.

Last Wednesday the AGEUM Executive voted 30-10 to censure the editors of the QUARTIER LA T IN for “ failing in its aims of objective journalism! more specifically, it did not represent the student body’s feelings and ideologies when it colored its editorial and news copy with marxist and radical le ftist socialist doctrine.

This is interesting in itself, but it goes a bit deeper than this, this particular iceberg. Two other resignations also resulted from the general upheaval on campus. Louis L e g e n d r e , Vice - President for Public A ffa irs, and Michel McAndrew (don’ t let the name fool you he is a french Quebecer) also resigned on principles.

These two facts do not connect unless you were aware of the activities of these two gentlemen at the UGEQ Congress last month.

McAndrew and Legendre are both ardent socia lists. So is the QUARTIER L A T IN ’ . At the Congress they amassed forces in support of a program being put through the Education Commitee by one Richard Guay (again, an anglicized french name), A cursory glance at the program proposed by M r. Gvay without a shadow of a doubt his deep socia list-m arxist leanings.

Now we w ill connect a third fact which may appear innocent to the casual observer. The Motion in the AGEUM Council which censured Le Quartier

Latin was presented by Jean Legeault, President o f L ’ecole Polytechnique (PolytecVi), and the motion was fully supported by U oC M 's law school. Interesting enough as it is, but more interesting when you consider that these three groups (HEC, Polytech, and Law) were the main and the most vigorous o p p e n e n t s of the Guay - McAndrew- Legendre movement to establish education in Quebec on a heavily socialized basis.

The conclusions flow very quickly from these facts. We can now see that at AGEUM, there is a very rea l radical movement. It involves mainly marxism and separatism . But we can also see how this situation came about. These people had control of the News media which interprets that campus to the rest of the outside world.

Returning to UGEQ, I would like to mention that I was on the floor of the Education committee when M r. Guay was having great difficulties ramming his program through. The resistance was fierce , and the whole sitting became a procedural battlefield. Exasperated, many delegates left, as well as the press.

This was exactley what the Guay forces wanted. With a pro-Guay m ajority in the committee now, a lot of undesirable legislation was pushed through, although the rea lly damning sections had previously been amended out of all effectiveness. It was through tactics such as these that a socialist program, albeit watered down, was pushed through.

Given facts in this light, many experts on this campus and elsewhere will conclude that both AGEUM and UGEQ are socia list and or marxist.

This is not so.Experts in political science and sociology w ill

agree with me that the revolutionary sp irit is a great thing for commanding determination on the parts o f the people leading the movement. This is what enables these very strong m inorities to take power — their strong sense o f mission.

by MIKE TAYLORDespite a rather enthusiatic buldup by the GEORGIAN about

the talent and potential o f our hockey team, I s till wasn’t sure w1 ether I wanted to watch them play. Yes, I knew that there were several p layers with national Junior A experience and a handful of stars form The Metropolitan Junior A league, but after a ll, when you’ve been exposed to the wonders of the N .H .L. a ll your life , anything else can be downright boring.

Nevertheless on opening night I found m yself faces with the necessity o f covering the game for the GEORGIAN so I packed few essentials w ere needed for a trip to St. Jean and departed.

Accompanied by dauntless photographer Joe Koltai and friend we made it out there in a swift half hour and located the arena with a minimum o f directions from the inhabitants.

I m issed the firs t few minutes o f the game trying to transcribe the lineups of both teams from the o ffic ia l scorer, hindered by a pair of bulky ski gloves. Finally I found a seat amongst some partisan CMR fans and began to watch.

The firs t characteristic that immediately caught my eye was the speed. I had expected to see players coasting around the rink but to my surprise nobody seemed Id be loafting. The puck went up and down the ice at a ragged pace; even poor B ill A rdell came o ff the ice exhausted, something that never seemed to happen in his playing career at L.C .C . — while T revor K err glided in and out of the CMR team as if they w ere immovable objects.

Another revelation was the sp irit and drive o f the Georgian. Students here are rare ly seen becoming enthuisatic about anything in particular and when you consider that hockey players are students too and were reported to belong to the strongest Georgian hockey team in recent years, an attitude of nonchalence and overconfidence would not be improbable.

Nothing could have been further from the truth. Every player went out on the ice determined to do his best. Vetrean players were skating as if their very L ives depended on the outcome o f the game, and the firs t year men went out to prove that they rea lly w ere a part of the team. In fact at the beginning of the game they w ere so enthusiastic that they w ere unable to get properly organized. Overanxiousness was responsible for penalties which kept S ir George at a disadvantage fo r the firs t ten minutes.

However the most im pressive feature was the actual sk ill o f the p layers them selves., The line o f Bob Berry, T revor K err and A lex Matthew were much more im pressive than their glowing press reports. Here are three Boys who know hockey and know how to play it well. Outstanding as individuals, their greatest strength is a knowledge o f their linemates and their moves. It is as if some other force is moving them, not as three players but as three parts of a single unit. They are truly a pleasure to watch.

Another outstanding perform er is goalie Brian Chapman. Brian is a veteran of three years competition with the Georgians, an a ll- star last year. His coolness, experience and lightning reflexes made him virtually unbeatable for 50 minutes of play Friday night. He made some exceptional stops, including one on a breakaway by Trepanier, one of CMR’ s top players.

On defence, theplay of newcomer Hector McFaydenwas spectacular. He played the point on power plays, k illed penalties and took m ore than a regular turn on defence.

To get by Hector, especially when teamed with solid Ron Graham, was an im possibility. A lso playing w ell w ere the new line of Phil Sutton, Bob Eastman, and Teddy O ’Brien. They might w ell be the

sm allest line in OSLAA this year, but their dazzing speed, which helped account for two goals, w ill make them tough to stop.

So what started o ff to be a chore turned out to be a real pleasure, Good home teams are hard to find these days (especially if you live in Toronto), so I ’m going to see as many game as I can. How about you?

GamesThe Women’ s Intercollegiate

V o l l e y b a l l season opened last Wednesday with an exhibition touynament at Chomedy High School This tourney a arranged so that the newly-formed team could be­come fam iliar with the revised rules. The rules have been chang­ed so that the game corresponds more closely with that o f the men. The changes have made the game much more scientific and it now requires increased skill on the part of the participants.

Since this was firs t game of the season, the team was unaccustomed to the s tr ict calls made by the re fe ree . Despite the inevitable fouls called for slapping, stepping on the lines or touching the net, the team made a fa ir ly good show­ing, i n d i c a t i v e or prospective v icto ir ies.

Cheryl Hasmatali made six consecutive points with smashing serve which helped the team in winning its firs t game 15-8. The others two game in the firs t set were won by Chomedy High 15-11 and 15-12. In the second set against The Rosemebre team the competit­ion was a bit rougher and Rosem ere won the best of three series with scores of 15-5 and 15 - 8. Carol Tetlow and Janet Sproule were able to make some swift bulleting returns which helped keep the teams chances alive.

Even though the team asn’ t quite developed all that potential skill, one thing it does seem to have is SPIR IT and M arsha. . . Our celebrity, Marsha can put more e n t h u s i a s m into the game of Vollyball than any six players combined. For that reason, the forthcoming games this season w ill be exciting, and live ly .

The team w ill play in the East- West Conference of Athletics this year and w ill be playing in tourn­aments agains McGill, Macdonald and Carleton University. Next game w ill be on Nov. 27, when the team w ill participate in the McGill Sports Day.

The team is shaping up and rea lly looks like a hot prospect for winning a name for itself in the V o l l e y b a l l c irc les in Intercollegiate Sports. We hope that it gets support from the Uni­vers ity and we wish it the best of luck in the coming season.

Basketball Team, the Georgettes, are all fixed up for thier firs t league game this Thursday. The opener w ill be played against a fast-m oving squad f r o m the Montrealer YMCA and should prove a rea l test for this years ’ team.

For many of the team members this w ill be their firs t experience playing intercollegiate ball; how­ever, what they lack in experience is made up in enthusiasm and willingness to learn.

Judy Olmstead, Barbara Mason, Marion B erger, and Colline Cline who are returning from last yea rs ’ team should help to give the team the stability it needs.

Some of the newcomers who will pose a threat to our league op­ponents are Gail Burke from the University of New Brunswick, Red Bloomers and Suzanne MacLeman from Bishop’s University. Clare Corran, Doreen Murphy and Linda Yale w ill be strong assests to the defensive unit.

The team competes in the inter­mediate section of the Women’s Open Basketball league and will play home and away series with MacDonald College, Bishop’ s Uni­versity , Montreal YWCA and the Royal V ictoria Hospital Nurses. They w ill also participate in exhi­bition games in the East-West Conference of Intercollegiate Athletics.

Georgians Victorio8-2(Continued from page 1)

The second period belonged to Sir George. They came out skating hard and hustling, and banged in three quick goals to put the game out of all practical reach of CMR. In this period Chapman was brilliant, especially on a breakaway shot by Trepanier. However the most exciting play of the period, in fact of the game was executed by Bob B erry . Berry outraced a CMR defenceman who had a twenty foot head start, scooped up the puck at their blueline, blazed in and deked out goalie Bornais perfectly for his second goal.

The score at the end of second was 6-1.

The third game started o ff as a close-checking period until Matthew bagged his second of the night. A ll at once the cadets caught f ir e and slammed three goals past a somewhat relaxed- l o o k i n g G e o r g i a n t e a m . Fortunately the clock ran out before Sir G eorge ’s lead and they preserved a well-earned victory. The shots on goal were 44-34.

mark from Bill A rdell and Bob Ferguson, to give the Georgians a 2-1 lead going into the second stanza.

The Georgian Icemen led by sharpshooting Alex M a t t h e w treated 500 fans to their first home win of the new season with an 8-2 victory over the Sherbrooke V ert Et O rr. Starting slowly in the f irs t period the Georgians couldn’t capitalize until after Gauthier of Sherbrooke defenders.

The Junior Varsity hockey team dropped its opener to the McGill Indians Saturday night by the score o f 6-5. Down 6-1 after two periods, the J .V ’s came storming back with W arren Hale scoring twice, N eil Bacon notching his second goal of the game, and Baker adding a single.

Starring for the Georgians were four ex-V ars ity players including Hale, Bacon, Stewart and Dave Parker. Bruce Berry, a late cut

from the big team, also played w ell, pitching up two assists.

The game was a rough, hard­hitting a ffa ir with almost twenty penalties being called, mostly in the firs t period.

For M cGill, Stacy was the leading scorer, counting two goals and an assist.

The next game w ill be played next Friday at Loyula Arena, 8p.m. against St. Joseph’s Teachers college.

while Sherbrooke’s Robicloud col­lected one. L ittle “ Toby” O ’Brian banged home a perfect Eastman pass while shorthanded to give the Georgians a 7-2 lead.

The third period saw little scoring. The Georgians seemed tired and couldn’t score until A lex Matthew fed Joe Rae for a picture goal while 2 men short to and the game.

The students of M cGill and Sir George are Quebecois, and UGEQ, is the union o f Quebec students. It goes without saying that they should be accepted. But the issue is not so simple.

The president of M cG ill’ s student union said that M cG ill student want to participate in the building of a new Quebec society. If they enter UGEQ as a minority because they have always thought and acted as a majority, their action is tainted with heroism . But w ill they suffer a loss rea lly?

Both rooms w ill be closed until the conclusion of Blood Drive on December 1.

From the office of the Program Co-ordinator

In UGEQ’s general assembly, they represent 24% o f the votes; in the co-ordinating committee, 25% of the votes. To those who believein the eventual e ffective integration of the Anglo-Saxons into UGEQ, these percentages have little im ­portance. Many are led to believe, therefore, that we w ill assim ilate the Anglo-Saxons sooner or la te r— good luck to them!

The English-speaking students are now, and w ill remain, a special case in UGEQ, as the French Canadians are a special case in Canada. They proved this by voting in a bloc at the congress. Eventually they might become an opposition, in the question o f natio­nalism, for example, and God knows that a ll o f Quebec problems inevitably lead to that question.

The Bobby Hull Storyby TED NICOLOFF

Chicago Black Hawk coach B illy Reay, chin in hand watched intently as his club went through a slight workout and skating session in the Forum, in preparation for their encounter of the year with the Canadiens that night. The toothpick he was chewing on was taking quite a beating as he shuffled it about in his mouth from side to side making one rea lize the anxie­ties and the tension he was experiencing in anticipation of facing the hot M o n t r e a l club. We knew as did his players that this would be a big one, even though the season was only three games young.

Then there was a mild transformation o f the look on his face from one of uneasiness to one of slight peace and contentment. We both eyed the figure that stepped onto the ice; a blonde-haired, broad-shoulder hulk sporting a Hawk jersey with a big number nine pasted between his scapulas. A $40,000 a year professional in the true sense o f the world; and later that night Bobby Hull would stop onto the Ice in a much sim ilar manner and bang in tw obigpow er- play goals, and in so doing help to give his team sole possession o f the top spot in the National Hockey League.

There have been many praises showered on Hull, and many superlatives used to describe this fe llow and his unique style of play since entering the N .H .L. some eight years ago, but whatever your choice o f words, you won’t be far from wrong if they are synonymous with “ greatness” . At 26 Hull is needless to say, one of the most thrilling individuals in the game today, and there Is no doubt many a hockey-playing youngster in this country of ours would give a ll his hockey autographs and his favourite hockey stick to boot just to be given the chance to play on the same team, or even on the same ice surface at the same time

Cagers Split OpenersA fter a somewhat inauspicious

beginning against the cadets from R .M .C ., V aris ity vindicated themselves by thwarting Sherbroo­ke 62-40 at Mont St. Louis Gymnasium.

Playing before a bi-partisan crowd, our cagers, smarting from Friday night’s defeat, distinctly outplayed and outclassed a rather m ediocre team from the University, o f Sherbrooke.

Sherbrooke, plagued with an inept zone defence trailed Sir George throughout the contest. The only

bright spot for the Eastern Town­ship team was the fine play of veteran Jean La fren iere who Collected 12 points.

Mike Burkun who was easily the outstanding player for Sir George in both outings led the scoring parade with seventeen points. A tru ly pleasing and surprising performance for Vars ity was the fine rebounding of Z ig Steiche who co llected 13 for the day.

Although this was a creditable v ic to ry for ourhoopsters, they still demonstrated signs of bad passing

with such a fine athlete.

There is something about Hull, about the way he skates, about the way he handles him self on the ice that makes you want to go out and put on a pair o f skates once you’ve watched him perform and once you have seen how easy he makes it all seem. He must have been born with a h o c k e y stick in his hand because his fam iliarity with his own stick is something to behold. His stick is cut here, and sanded there, and taped there; and to top it o ff he has a fantastic concave curve in the blade o f it that at firs t glance would make one believe the stick to be useless, but then i t ’s another story when he steps on the ice. He perform s pure hockey magic with it; executing dead-on passes to team-mates, and with his deadly w rist-shot, has put him self high in the league’s record books with some 276 goals since entering the league.

Bobl y Hull now has 12 goals for 9 games and the big queation in the minds fo hockey fans everywhere, “ W ill Bobby Hull break 50 goals this year? So I asked him; Bobby replied: “ I fe lt I had a good chance o f doing it last year, but the injury came. As far as this year is concerned, well I won’ t make any predictions, and besides, i t ’ s still pretty early in the season, and we’ve got along way to go. ”

Whether or not Bobby Hull breaks the 50 goal mark this year or not, he w ill continue to smash all existing goal-scoring records in the league with his dazzling, stand-up-and-watching- this-guy type o f play; andfor those o f you who are Hull supporters, i f anyone can break that 50 goal mark, i t ’s your boy. Such is the story o f Bobby Hull; one of blistering slap-shots and scoring championships, hat-tricks and game-winning goals. Such is the story o f a true champion.

Jv’s win exhibition tilt, ready for opener

In their first official exhibition match at

Westmount High gym last friday night, the Jay

Vee basketball team took a hard-fought win in

the dying minutes of the game by the score

of 74-70.Matched with a strong ‘ Y ’ team,

Coach Warren Sutton’s boys were behind at the half by a 38-30count.

In the second half they s till trailed until the situation got desperate, and the Junior Georgians needed s ix points for the win.

At this point, rookie P ie rre Carpentier came o ff the bench to grab a key rebound and assist on an important counter. Minutes later, P ie rre scored the tying basket, and put the game on ice w ith the final field goal w ith seconds le ft to play.

High scorer of the game was A1 Sykes, a veteran from last yea r ’s Varsity squad. He opened the Sir George attack early in the game, and gave it sustained punch throughout, ending with a total o f 24 points.

Don Nadeau, an aggressive shooter hit for 18 points, and shared rebounding duties with Wolfgang M ueller, who was the most effective Georgian in defensive play as w ell as in the rebounding department.

Tony Calusic, down from the Varsity for this game, scored ten points, and rounded out the Junior Georgian’ s attacking unit.

Doug King was the Georgian strongman in defensive play, and Richard Anderson rounded out this effective attacking unit. King scored 3 points and Anderson counted for five.

C live W olfe, Ron Luciano, and Rosenfeld saw lim ited floor tim e, and did not score.

This Jay Vee team impressed those on had with their good training in the basics of the game. They made very few basic e rro rs , such as throw-aways, travelling, and overfouling.

With one or two exceptions, the squad is also in excellent condition for this early in the season.

Their shooting is accurate, and they know when to take their shots. Foul shot averages for all p layers was extrem ely high for early in the season.

The biggest surprise for this season’s Jay Vee is the height and strength of the players. This Is a well-balanced squad that has the potential to go a ll the way in their league, barring the fact that the Varsity may dip into the roster for replacements.

Coach Warren Sutton was “ very p leased” with his boys play against such strong opposition.

which was a prime reason for their loss to R .M .C .. 79-50.

Before what turned out to be near capacity crowd, led by the vociferous and thunderous cheers o f Marsha Akman (the cool kid) our hoopsters suffered a crushing blow in the home opener.

Displaying fine outside shooting by Mike Barkum and Sid Gonyer, V ars ity led R.M .C. 30-27, at the half, which surprised many of the spectators present.

With their heads in the air and their heads on the ground for the last thirty minutes of play.

R .M .C . made good on almost every defensive miscue and any < ball that was thrown away. Bob Mason who was the hot shot of the evening netted 23 points and was close ly trailed by cohort Jim Leitch with 19. Mason’s fine allround display was highlited by his ability to clear both defensively and o ffensively. He was good for 17 rebounds, a high for both squads. In effect, Sir George was simply overpowered by R.M.C.

From a ll the gloom that prevailed Friday, a cheerful note may be added. Coach W itacre and athletic d irector Doug Insleay announced that Sir George w ill be accepting the invitation to the “ Blue Nose C lass ic ” basketball tournament sponsored by Acadia University. W itacre feels that it is “ amongst the most respected tournaments in Canada, and adds a lot of class to big time Canadian basketball schedule.”

ski team has been conditioning diligently for the coming season. The training has been taking place at Northmount High School on Mondays and Thrusdays from seven to nine p.m. and from two to four p.m. on Monday and Friday at the YMCA.

Under the guidance of Doug Insleay, prospective candidates have been working to reach peak physical condition by the start of the racing season.

With the firs t good snowfall the team w ill begin training at Mount Echo in the Eastern Townships under coach Evan Price, a gradua­te of Sir George and a senior “ A ” sk ier from the Laurentian Zone.

This year meets w ill be hosted by Carleton and Bis hop’s Univer­sity while the o ffic ia l OSLAA Championships w ill be held at the University of Ottawa. The team is also hoping to get invitations to participate in meets at Middlebury and Dartmounth in the U.S.A.

For the first time Sir George has the possibility of having an excellent ski team: however there a re s till a number of skiers needed to complete the roster (both male and fem ale). Anyone interested or t wanting further information i s ^ asked to contact I \ Turgeon at I "F " "1 ""

Crisis in Confederation From the PresidentThere is no exact precedent in Canadian history

for the present c ris is in Confederation. Although the Canadian past has seen many storm y and turbulent eras, although there have been periods o f equal emotional upheaval in our national life , there has never been a para lle l to the intellectual repudiation of the postulates and prem ises of Confederation which have now become the truisms and commonplace o b s e r v a t i o n s of casual conversations and conference agendas alike.

This c r is is , however, must necessarily be most acute for those most d irectly involved in the political process. This i n v e t i a b l y means our political parties. There is no dearth o f m aterial available to any w riter if he wishes to comment on the failure of the present L ibera l administration to provide rational leadership to this country. Its failure is manifest, notorious and quite possible, tragic. But it is p rec is ley because of the patent failure of Liberalism to provide even the semblance o f adequate leadership in our time of great national need that it becomes necessary to think sympathetically and c r it ica lly o f what the present c r is is requires of the Conservative party in terms or re-assessm ent and and revision of previous policies as well as a re-dedication of its efforts in those areas where events have m erely confirmed the correctness of its previous judgements. It is fo r this reason that the following observations are made.

It is imperative for the Conservative Party to abandon much of its customary rhetoric and to concentrate its co llective on the great issues which require an answer. We should abandon, too, the contemporary illusion thatsomehow the problems o f our national life can be solved by infrequent socia l gatherings which feature the singing of L ’Allouette and a dessert of maple syrup. National expreriences of good fellowship which bring French and English-Canadians alike face to face with their common humanity are obviously good things in themselves and to be highly valued. But it is not by such fugitive moments as these that Confe­deration can be preserved. Whether we like it or not and, being human, it is unlikety taht we like it, it has become necessary for us to think seriously about ourselves and our country, to re flec t on our past and present, and to determine whether we a re to share a common future.

The time is at an end when the old addhoc experiencies for the past w ill serve creative and saving function. We as a people and therefore as a political party are at one of those painful h istorical junctures where the old banalities w ill no longer serve, the old truisms somehow ring false and the inherent demand o f the situation ca lls for policies that w ill re flect a grappling with fundamental rea lities in the light of an honest articulation of basic principles.

It therefore seems to be of unusual importance fo r us to lay aside the usual sophistires and national hypocrisies with which we have tended to seek national concord and especially to lay aside that fa lse reticence which proscribes honesty in public debayte and embraces the false alternative o f superficial and sentimental insincerity. I f such procedures are ever valid the course o f events has rendered them inapplicable. Either we w ill have a relationship between French and English- Canada founded on honesty and tempered by charity., or the existing relationshipwill crumble to the ruin which falsehood deserves.

Let me however make some concrete suggestions and observations as my personal contribution to the continuing process of reflection and r e ­assessment which currently characterizes the predominant sp irit within the Conservative Party.

Committee on Confederation(1) I believe that it would be desirable for the

Conservative Party to establish a standing committee on Confederation, charged with the responsibility of presenting to the leader of our party specific proposals pertinent to our national policy on the fundamental issues of our politics, so that he and his associates may have the benefit o f the responsible and reflective viewpoints that such a committee would provide. It is suggested that such a committee on Confederation might play a most useful part in developing bith a creative and rational Conservative esponse to the present c r is is in Confederation.

I believe as w ell that such a report should be presented to the next annual meeting of the party fo r its consideration. Further, I believe that this undertaking should rece ive the highest p rio rity o f a ll projects within our Party; that the committee should invite Conservatives and sympathetic non- Conservatives, intellectuels and leading public figu res to present b rie fs to it in cam era; that having studied these matters in depth, it then repert fu lly and frankly its conclusions to the leadership o f our party so that our parliamentary leadership w ill tiave the aid and benefit or articulated and well researched views upon which they can confidently base Conservative parliamentary policy.

Bicultural Capital

(2) I believe that our party must dedicate itse lf to the process o f national reconciliation which is obviously the great imperative of contemporary politics. To that end, and as an indicis of both its sensitivity and good faith, I suggest that it should be the purpose of the Conservative Opposition o f the House of Commons, i f not in the present session, then certainly in the next, to strongly support the creation of the federal D istrict of Ottawa, so that our national capital would in fact re flec t the bicultural rea lity of this country. Certainly, if there is one country in English- Canada that ought consistently to reflect thereality of the French Fact in Canada, that city is Ottawa.

Party’s Major Task

(3) I believe that as a political party we must recognize the truth and validity o f these words of Pro fessor W .L. Morton in his paper delivered at the Fredericton Conference on National Goals and also that we must dedicate ourselves to the task which he there suggests at p. 19:

Here was the fundamental failure of Diefenbaker Government, the failure to use an unexampled victory to restore the Conservative Party in Quebec. To redeem that failure, without betraving its own principles, is I venture to suggest the chief task before the party today. The Conservative principle of the harmonious whole means if any thing concrete that in Canada any national party, and any national government must be French as w ell as English, English as w ell as French. Po litica l parties and national governments can no m ore be unhyphenated than ordinary Canadians can . . .

Without accepting a ll that pro fessor has wirtten elsewhere in his paper, this, I believe, is a helpful counsel. Even if the truth is a bitter one, we should recognize it as such and d irect our course accordingly.

To that end, I have become convinced that he urgency o f the movement requires a new awareness o f the necessity o fr rebuilding the Conservative party on a truly bicultural basis as a party in which the sp irit of C artier, as w ell as Macdonald, would be a present rea lity and not m erely a poignant faded memory.

(Continued on page 2)

This is the firs t year in which the political clubs on our campus are being allowed to reach you through the pages of the Georgian. It is hoped that what you find on the following pages w ill excite, ir r ita te—even anger you-so long as it interests you. For Politics in the final analysis decides who we are and what we w ill become. It shades, and shades and relishes every facet of our lives . It deter­mines tha taxes you pay, the job you hold, the amount and kind of education you rece ive , the extent of society ’ s responsibility to you and the extent of your responsa- b ility to society, the amount of freedom you have and the form that it w ill tal e. There is not constantly influenced by politics.

That is why I think that as individual students owe it to ourselves to take an active interest TODAY in the policies and issues that w ill determine our collective future. There is an old Irish saying “ The world is a giant insane asylum and the worst patients are running the damned p lace.” Only you can do something about that.

Elsewhere in the paper you w ill find a detailed examination of the L ibera l party. The theme of the artic le is that the L iberals have too long been, as a political force, the party of opportunism. They claim do believe in the individual— but they continue to apply co llec tive solutions to every situation. What the L ibera ls call “ constructive policy” is, in most cases, what the CCFNDP called the “ true socialist solution” only 3 or 4 years ago. They harp on the idea that, the P rogressive Conservative party represents the right, the N .P.D . the left, and L ibera l party the center. They point out that rational, responsible people always avoid extremes. There fore if you are to be considered rational and responsi­ble you must support (by their definition) the L iberal party. This is what is known as a policy not logic.

We naturally d not accept this. In fact, we think the business of categorizing a ll political activeity along such sim plistic lines is becoming increasingly ir re le ­

vant — if it ever did have any relevence in Canada — which we doubt. We do not believe that a ll the functions of government and a ll the needs of a people can necessarily be squeezed into the bounds of any one political p h i l o s o p h y of system of government. Rather we believe in the calculated response to the given situation, keeping in our minds at a ll times, a sense both o r our past, present, and 'future. The function of government is m ore than to m erely find short­term solutions to a ll our problems

and inequities. A short-term , gim icky solution may win votes but it w ill never eradicate a complicated or d e e p - s e a t e d problem.

That, very simply, is the d iffe­rence between the P rogress ive- Conservative Party and the L iberal and, or New Democratic Parties. They believe that enough short­term measures piled pyramid style on top of one another w ill cure anything from depression to rab ies . We do not think that panaceas are good enough. Too often they m erely sustain problems they were intended to re lieve . The artic le “ Investment in our Futur” on page four describes a good example of this and proposes an interesting solution. We as Torys , think that Canada needs m ore programs of this calibre and less o p p o r t u n i s m in its government.

A P a rty o f N a tio n a l U n ity?During its f ir s t years the L ib e ra l Government of L a u rie r was able, en ergetic and

brillian t. It was tru ly a national governm ent and in this way at least the period of L a u rie r is the Golden Age of Canadian po litics.

But the L ibera l Party inpower soon became closely associated with the elite, the c iv il servants, the business community of the East and the central provinces (and especially the province of Quebec) It too began to identify itse lf with the national power and as a conse­quence, like its predecessors, the government of Laurier tended to lose touch with the ra lities of the regions, apart from central Canada. This is well illustrated by the ease with which the govern­ment was brought down in 1911 when it attempted to conciliate western Canada through the ta r iff an Ontario block. Second, the party continued to identify itse lf with the tariff and big business. And third, it faced during the course of its existence after 1911, as the governing party, both a Wold War and the organization of a third movement.

In 1917, during the conscription crises, the L ibera l Party veritably surrendered to its French- Canadian wing. It was fe lt by Laurier that any other course would drive Quebec into the camp o f a third party. It was this decision more than any other that influenced the direction of politics in the post-W orld War I era. Lau rier ’s

action in 1917 destroyed the Conservative Party in the Province o f Quebec. The Conservative Party there has never recovered. The political integration o f virtually all French Canada into the Liberal Party made that party increasingly sensitive to French-Canadian pressures. This is why the Liberal Party could not swing to the left in 1911 and avoid the electionof s ix ty-five P rogressives in that year.

The period 1917-1921, then, is a c ritica l period in our history. The L ibera ls had won a majority in Quebec in every election since 1887. Lau rie r ’ s decision in 1917 delivered Quebec to the L iberals for another generation. During the twenties, the L ibera ls became m ore and more identified with Central Canada and found it very difficult to represent the West. The Conservatives in the meantime were s till identified with the tar iff, with central Canada, with the C .P .R . and with big business. The regional slack in Canadian politics was taken up by third parties and this has been the situation ever since. Neither o f the two nineteenth century parties has been able to renew itse lf in the fie lds of local

leadership, local initiative and local policy.

We an see this most c learly in the L ibera l Party. Laurier was a tough professional politician who led his region. He was supported in his cabinet by a series of able ex-prem iers. Lau rie r ’s succes­sor, King, was drawn from the c iv il serv ice and King was too supported, at the beginning, by very able regional leaders: Fielding C rerar, Gouin and Lapointe, But King began to introduce into the government the hard-core centralist adminis­trators-m en like Norman Rogers, C.D. Howe, Louis St. Laurent and Lester Pearson. King’ s successor as L ibera l leader was St. Laurent and able and honorable man, but a corporation lawyer, not a professional politician. It was during this regim e that the final struggle took place and that the federal L ibera l Party became the party of the Ottawa centralists.

One has m erely to look at the post St. Laurent period to see the point. A fter St. Laurent, Pearson took over the party and in 1962 formed a government. Regional leadership is virtually absent from this government. One has only to read

This, it seems to me, is an objective which ought to especiaUy commend itse lf to the Young Conservative movement o f Canada. Speaking for m yself, I can think o f few s e c u l a r ob jectives more worthy of commitment than dedication to the preservation of Confederation and the develop­ment o f the Conservative party firm ly rooted in the authentic tradition o f C artier and Macdonald.

(4) (I believe see no. 5, that we must devote ourselves)

I believe that there must be mutually o f respect towards both the French Fact and the British Fact in Canada. I think that we must recognize that in the very fundamental sense, an attack on either is an attack on the basic principles upon which Confedera­tion was founded.

(5) I believe that we must devote ourselves to a serious analysis and examination o f our b a s i c traditions and determine what we

consider essential and what we consider not essential, or to use the language o f diplomacy, what is n e g o t i a b l e and what is non- negotiable.

(6) I w ill also suggest that we in the Conservative Party must learn to draw the necessary distinction between the concept of the equality o f cultural traditions. While there cannot be and ought not to be in the lega l and form al sense any question of second-class c itizen ­ship, we must recogn ize the logic of Confederation,

Unnnecessary electionW ell, M r. Pearson , YOUR election has come and gone

and fo r the third tim e in two and a half years the Canadian e lec to ra te has shown its reluctance to wholeheartedly endorse you and the L ib era l Party . Perhaps if there had been a genuine reason fo r ca lling the election , the results m ight have been d ifferen t, but this was an UNNECESSARY E LE C T IO N and the Canadian electora te has responded in a suitable manner.

Tw o other fa cto rs must be advanced fo r this, the most frustra tin g e lec to ra l e x e rc is e Canada has e ve r expdrienced. F o r the fifth tim e, John Diefenbaker has re -a ffirm ed his unchallenged suprem acy on the hustings. The L ibera l P a rty silen tly hoped that dissension in the T o ry ranks would swing traditional C onservative votes to their side, but the Chief apparently em ployed a ll his m ystica l powers and managed to sew the surface wounds. So they came to hear the M essiah; on the P ra ir ie s , in the M aritim es and even in M ontreal they cam e to hear H im . And He did not disappoint them. Charging the L ib era l governm ent with corruption in high p laces , o ffer in g a $100 pension and most of a ll, prom ising that if he could m eet his appointment w ith destiny, he would pull Canada up by its bootstraps and lead it into our euphoria. And perhaps i f He rea lized that he w ill n ever be granted Divine P rov idence, he might have engineered the grea test upset since David slew Goliath.

The fa ilu re of M r. Pearson to clean his cabinet when the dust was too thick contributed substantially to his fa ilu re . The presence of M r. Lamontagne and M r. Favreau in the cabinet; the calam itous R ivard a ffa ir and M r. Rouleau’ s consequent involvm ent had a d isasterous e ffec t on the L ib e ra ls in the M aritim es; a region which they w ere counting on fo r considerable gains. Canadians sim ply would not to le ra te it and rea lized that loose draw ers in the Cabinet (e .g . M r. Lamontagne), must be im m ediately rep laced by new ones.

The resu lt is not v e ry encouraging. V o te rs go to the p o ll with the hope of e ffecting a change in governm ent and when the almost identical resu lts occur as those previous to dissolution, something must be wrong. W ell, severa l things are.

F ir s t o f a ll, it is beyong me why those pompous asses who occupy the g reen -fe lted cham ber cannot learn to behave in a manner appropriate to the ir position . In the voluminous records o f Hansard covering the trag ic flag debate (which, iron ica lly was not even an issu e), not a so lita ry sane word was uttered by anyone. M em bers of Parliam en t, acting like bungling id io ts, p roc la im they have the panacea fo r national unity. When w ill those pathetica lly unrealistic fo o ls r e a liz e that there never w il l be com plete harmony between French and English and fu rtherm ore what in Heavens is so te r r ib ly the matter w ith French and English existing side by side. And most pain fu lly of a ll, a P r im e M in is ter em erges from a Cabinet m eeting two days a fte r he was denied the re igns of power and he has the ga lling audacityto state that the Cabinet spent the morning discussing leg is la tion , (hos nice; did they also have m arm elade with th e ir toast?) How much does M r. Pearson honestly think the Canadian public w ill stand fo r . Perhaps i f our overpaid and underworked M P ’ s would have acted just a bit m ore d ign ified; then perhaps the vo ter might have expressed m ore confidence in them.

Secondly the onus is now on M r. Pearson . One cabinet m in is ter has had the courage to accept responsib ility fo r the election fia sco even though it produced a com ical, tear-sta in ed episode. (No you aren ’ t W alter. Y es , I am L e s te r ). M r.Pea rson must now rid the cabinet of other rotted lum ber, nam ely M r. Lamontagne, M r. P ick e rsg ill and that g lo riou s ly inept fem a les to end a ll fem ales, Judy Lam arshe.

But not only must he dig into his own party to f i l l the gaps, but M r. Pearson must now recogn ize public opinion and the w e lfa re o f Parliam ent. In short, he must go beyond the lim itations of his own party and o ffe r members o f the opposition at least one cabinet position. Part lines must be broken. Certa in ly there is room in government fo r men of the ca lib re of G eorge Hees and Stanley Knowles. T h is is no tim e to fo llow tradition.

American Policy in Viet Nam

I

American policy in Vietnam is the big sore thumb of the day. It galvanizes to action militant anti-communists around the world, those who believe any and all action in the name of “ freedom” and “ democracy” is thoroughly justified. And we have seen how the Vietnam war arouses just as strongly the International Left, those against war directed at but not by the Communists.

Of course there are countless positions lying somewhere in between those extremes. And that, it seems to me, is where most of us stand. The “ silent center” as they are usually called. In an age when so many grand schemes lie shattered at the feet o f their authors, skepticism is almost a by-word. Better to keep an open mind, take a broad view o f events, within a historical context, than to commit oneself one way or another. Truth, sometimes held to be the real purpose o f education, remains elusive.

So, with all this in mind I w ill go ahead and talk about Vietnam anyway!

The United States has made so many mistakes in Vietnam thatwere so much not at stake onewould almost wish them theworst, and then some. With the probable exception o f Cuba, nowhere has American involvement so c lea rly created the very situation all the previous action was supposedly designed toprevent.

That is, a fter 20 years o f various interventions in Vietnam it now takes upward o f 150,000 American fighting men to prevent a Communist take over, and w ill probably require three tim es that number to win any sort o f m ilitary v ictory. What happens then is anybody’ s guess. American policy makers are not noted for long- range planning. Everything is AD HOC — do what must be done now, and blame the succeeding Administration when things start coming unstuck.

At bottom, the present tragedy is related to Am erica ’ s desire to eliminate French rule over Indochina, part and parcel of the general post-war American c r u s a d e against European colonialism . Whether done for altru istic reasons or as part of A m erica ’ s em pire building which Sir George history students are well aware of, is not the issue here. It was done, and the United States moved in or was dragged in to fi l l the vacuum left by the French.

^ For sheer ambiguity, Am erican ( policy toward France over

Indochina must have few equals anywhere.

Eisenhower s t a t e s in his memoir, CRUSADE IN EUROPE, that F.D. Roosevelt sometimes seemed more concerned with denying France repossession of

— her colonies following the war than in conducting the war itself.

And General De Gaulle being what he is, some analysts see his

' yresent stance v is -a -v is the

U.S. as partially motivated by Roosevelt’ s wartime manoevering. In any case, the United States did, as a matter o f record, orig inally support Ho Chi Minh, so long as he appeared to be a genuine nationalist fighting for his country’s independence.

As Ho’ s communist connections and past record came to light Am erica began to cool o ff toward him. But even more important, the Korean War was now ragin?, and what was by now a very large French war in Indochina must be bolstered. The U.S. poured billions in aid to France in an e ffo rt to stem communism in Indochina as w ell as Korea. But France continued to lose (for many reasons) and by 1954 the Korean War was over, so maintaining France in Indochina became secondary. Besides, the United States seem s to entertain even to the present day the illusion that one way to fight communism is to encourage European colonial powers to abandon their colonies to the “ winds of change” . If this a ll sounds contradictory, that is exactly what it is. And American policy is likew ise.

When the U.S. finally decided against d irectly aiding the French (Eisenhower says his Administration b rie fly considered using A-bombs at Dienblenphu), they were forced to Geneva where Indochina was neatly (so many thought) divided into North and South Vietnam. It is also a matter of record that Diem was foistered on the South Vietnamese people by a sm all clique o f Am erican State Department o f f i c i a l s , pro fessors and the A F L -C I0 . Diem had taken no part in his country’s fight for independence, so any pretence of his reflecting the people’s w ill was a grotesque joke. F o r a tim e, however, Diem seemed to ra lly his countrymen behind him and managed to hold on when so many people were predicting his fa ll. M assive Am erican aid resulted in some worthwhile economic and social advances.

But D iem ’ s dictatorship became ever more repressive, especially against the Cao Dai sects, anti­communists a ll. The three major pre-Novem ber 1, 1963, attempts to overthrow the Diem regim e all came from non-communists. His reg im e, as described by Bernard Fa ll while attending Sir G eorge ’s recent S e m i n a r , was a “ bad” , “ paternalistic” dictator­ship “ which succeeded in “ plastering over its faults” . So while Am erican offic ia ls on the spot continued to delude their superiors back home, partly because they themselves were deluded by D iem ’s supporters, the nationalist-communist guerrilla movement grew space. With the result we see today.

Now the United States is engaged in a nearly fu ll-sca le war there. I say “ nearly” because there is still plenty o f room for escalation. Now that the United States has moved in and taken over lock, stock and barrel, it is no wonder the war is going better. You cannot fight a war by proxy.

Whatever the mistakes committ­ed by the U.S. during the past 20 years, I contend, to quote the Sir George P .C . Club’ s Mike Maloney, that the U.S. “ is doing a job that needs to be done” . Whether or not the present revolutionaries were once non­

communists who could have been deat with by the right policies, is academic now. Today their victory would place South Vietnam under Communist control, and that is not in the interest of the West no matter what kind of sophisticated arguments are employed. The domino theory is partly true, partly fallacious. As Bernard Fall also said, there is Communism everywhere. Stopping it one place does not preclude another war somewhere else. But it is hard to argue that an American defeat in Vietnam would not seriously undermine such countries as Thailand, Nationalist China and even Indonesia, where the strong Communist Party is licking its wounds.

Only an out-and-out Communist or someone totally devoid of an understanding o f world politics

can advocate outright American withdrawl. Nor is the cry fo r “ negotiations” much more rea listic . Most of the Korean War was fought DURING the negotiations at Panmunjon. The Communists came to term s only when it became clear they could not win. Just as one cannot win at the conference table what has not been won on the battlefield, a country is unlikely to agree to talk while it s t ill feels confident of winning, as Ho Chi Minh apparently s till does. Both sides talk o f a “ ten-year w ar” . There were no negotiations to end the post-war insurgency in Greece, the Philippines or Malaya. The guerrillas were simply wittled down. B e s i d e s , negotiations indicate that each side recognizes, at least up to a point, the legitim acy o f the opposing s ide ’s position. Such a condition is entirely lacking is Vietnam today.

But even now Am erican policy in Vietnam is deficient. The bombing o f North Vietnam served a purpose nine months ago when a dramatic act was needed to bolster the South Vietnamese, and to underline to the world A m erica ’ s irrevocab le committment there. The bombing provided a breathing space until American troops could a rrive to ensure that a total collapse would not happen. But virtually no targets o f rea l value have been hit. And the flow of men and supplies southward continues.

As was frequently pointed o u l

during the r e c e n t Seminar, Southeast Asia is one of the last major “ movable” areas o f the w orld . Most everywhere else d irect m ilitary action by either side would bring nuclear war. Am erican action may yet bring this kind of stability to Southeast Asia.

Free education is goodL ike some m edieval re lig iou s sect, un iversity students are now expected to heed

e ve ry pronouncement of the ir student Genius as gospel truth. They are requ ired to accept as a r tic les o f faith eve ry pronouncement that em anates from the shrines o f the ir co llected student w isem en.

The latest artic le of faith to be formulated; “ F ree Education Is Good.” This artic le is supported by various pronouncements show­ing how “ Free Education” w ill turn Canada into a second Garden of Eden.

However, as intelligent men and women it is important to question this artic le of faith and explore the proposed “ Garden” to locate any serpents that may be present. Just what does “ F ree Education” mean?

In the firs t, place the very name “ F ree Education” is fa lse . No university student is naive enough to believe that we get something

fo r nothing. U n iversities are expensive to operate and if the students don’t pay then who w ill?

The answer is, of course, that we w ill a ll pay and pay and pay. If not through direct taxation, then through higher prices for goods and serv ices to offset higher indirect taxation.

For governments have only one score o f money.People — and we are a ll included in this group. So in fact we w ill not have “ F ree Education,” but Education paid fo r by higher taxes.

West Indians pledge support to Tories

Last year for the firs t time, the West Indian Society obtained adequate representation in Model Parliament in d irect proportion to our m inority status on campus.

We do not wish to vote for any particular party only on the basis o f their existing platform . We feel that our problems are o f a somewhat. unique nature and unless we can present a united bloc in one party we would be defeating ourselves.

Last year our aim was to present to Model Parliament our opinion o f this country’ s im migration policy. We fee l that over the years this country has subtly manipulated its immigration laws to keep out coloured people. Despite this form re lie f we w ere unable to obtain adequate support from the other opposition party to defeat a hopelessly inadequate b ill introduced by the L iberal government.

When elected this year, we in the West Indian Society, w ill encourage the P rogressive Conservative causus to incorporate the follpwing policies into their platform , and indeed, they have already expressed a w illingness to do so.

1- The establishment o f a commission to investigate the possi­b ilities of increasing economic trade with the West Indies.

2- Eliminate a ll measures o f segregation against coloured Commonwealth countries in Canada’s immigration policies.

3- Encourage the use o f force by the United Nations to demolish the white puppet government o f Ian Smith in Southern Rhodesia.

4- Provide more foreign aid to those countries within the Commonwealth and extend a foreign aid program me to students in these countries.

5- In spite of minor right wing elements, we were satisfied with the cooperation we received from the P rogress ive Conser­vatives last year. There is no reason why we should shift our support to another party. The other parties who have consistently been bidding for our support have not been able to convince us that their interest in our Society is sincere. They find it almost impossible to attend any of our meetings or social functions. Our support, therefore, remains with the Progressive Conservatives.

prim ary and secondary schools. Every homeowner knows just how “ fr e e ” this area of FREE Education is in rea lity.

So then one serpent has been found in the garden. Some one is s till going to have to pay to support the universities and the students.

But unlike the original Garden of Eden, we find s till another serpent in the proposed Utopia. Th is is the fact i f we break down the financial barrier to University Adm ission where are we going to find room for a ll the students.

The sad fact of Canadian univer­sity life is that we are short of both university buildings and professors. Even now thousands o f students are unable to enter universities each year and not because of financial but rather physical lim itations.

So “ F ree Education” w ill not solve the problem of making a university education available to m ore people. Only new facilites in our present universities w ill correct the situation.

In fact using available funds to underwrite the studies of current students w ill compound the pro­blem . These funds would be better used in enlarging the physical plants necessary to handle larger numbers of students.

It can then be seen that while “ F ree Education” has a nice ringing name it is not the proper solution to Canada’s problems. Only by working at the root causes of the problem can we hope to see m ore Canadians attending Univer­sity.

It is also important to note that we need not just more universities, but better universities. Places where top scholars w ill be drawn to work and teach. This means m ore funds for experimental work and greater freedom from controls on the direction of such experimental work.

This whole problem is one of putting the cart before the ox. A fter we have the physical plants handle a ll prospective students and the scholars to teach them, then and only ttien, should the problem of “ FREE EDUCATION” be examined and acted upon.

An Investment in our FutureThe most significant fact about

mass poverty in Canada in the latter decades of the Twentieth Century is that it is unnecessary. It exists, not because it is unavoid­able, but because we have not tried to avoid it. Another fact is the frightful waste involved. The waste in economic term s is shocking enough but there is an even greater waste in human term s. Still another significant fact is that agricultural poverty cannot be solved within the farm fence, nor can rural, non-farm poverty be solved along the back concessions. The coro llary is, o f course, also true. We cannot solve urban poverty and industrial u n e m p l o y m e n t , since the continuous flow of the uneducated, the unskilled, the un­ready and the infirm from our outposts and reservations, our farms and forests to our towns and cities creates an indivisible social and economic problem. Our many-sided p o v e r t y problem requires for its solution numerous specific but co-ordinated program - mes, but it can only be solved within the context o f a dynamically expanding and rapidly changing national economy in which the benefits o f growth are widely shared and deliberately but w isely balanced between regions of the country.

When c o n f r o n t e d by these appalling facts, we rightly ask what is wrong with the vaunted w elfare state we have created. The simple fact is that the welfare state has a built-in m iddle-class bias (for example, in housing, in pensions, in education and in medical care) and, to make matters worse, our tax system is reg ress ­ive for the low er income groups — for the “ under-class” to use Gunnar M yrdal’s phrase.

Few w ill deny that poverty reflects the grosser form s of economic waste. On the one hand, at least a quarter of our population is able to make no more than a minimal contribution to the national product. On the other hand, even in economic term s, the social costs involved in the perpetuating the expense of welfare, the blight

of slums, the d i s a b i l i t e s of ignorance and ill health, and the destructive tendencies towards delinquency, are lite ra lly incal­culable. And not only does poverty cause people to fa ll short o f their potential as productive and creative human beings, but it also results in a serious misallocation of physical resources as w ell. One example o f such misallocation is the urban slum In the heart of our c ities . Another example is the large areas of agricultural land fragmented among u n e c o m i c farm s. In their present use, such farms can do no more than sustain their present owners in their poverty. P roperly employed, such land resources could contribute in a major way to increased national production, as could the people from these poverty farm s if properly educated, trained and given the opportunity for product­ive work.

A p h i l o s o p h y o f economic development, to be appropriated for Canada, must take full account- o f its vast s ize and the d iversity o f its various economic regions. To adopt an econo nrc philosophy devised for a homogeneous and mature industrial economy, con­cerned prim arily with marginal rather than structural adjustment and with n a t i o n a l economic aggregates rather than balanced regional development, would be absurdly inappropriate to the real needs o f the nation. It would also be dangerously divise since it would inevitably intensify rather than mitigate the disparities in income and employment between the severa l regions o f Canada.

While the Keynesian goals o f a high leve l o f employment and an adequate rate of economic growth for the national economy remain essential, and the K e y n e s i a n techniques for achieving the appropriate level of aggregate demand remain relevant, the prim ary problem has shifted. It is not that our concern with the aggre­gates has declined, but that our concern with what is happening within the aggregates.

Almost to the end o f the 1950’s the prevailing v iew of many aca­

demic econmists and government o ffic ia ls seemed to be that provided general economic policies were effective in maintaining a level of aggregate demand sufficient to ensure a p rogressively rising gross national product, particular regions and segments of the economy could, with the aid o f tax sharing arrangement, safely be le ft to work out their own problems in what was assumed to be a favourable economic and social environment. In short the ass­umption was that if the national economy as a whole was growing, not only the nation, but a ll the regions within the nation would be prosperous, some assumed it to be the result of the unwillingness of a sufficient number of their people to move to central Canada.

None o f us now doubt that this was a ll too simple and too easy. Favourable national levels of growth and employment, while of vital importance, too frequently disguise serious economic and social probelms in the less developed regions and in the r e l­atively declining industries. This new r e c o g n i t i o n of concealed poverty and regional underdevelop- ement and underemployment has radically changed the Canadian economic thinking and, indeed Canadian politics in the last decade.

It is possible to construct a model of an entirely voluntary programme for the poor o f Canada. In this study it is only possible to deal with this approach in the broadest of terms in order to indicate its main elements and the approximate magnitude o f the costs involved. The programmes in this model are intended to be available to all farm ers (excluding residen­tial, part-tim e and institutional fa rm ers) who have gross sales of less than $3,750 per year, and to members o f the male labour force receiv ing an income o f less than $3,000 per year both in rural and urban areas.

Net income from farm ing operations a v e r a g e less than $1,000 for one-fifth of the farm holdings in Canada while fo r one- half of the holdings the average is between $1,000 and $2,500. One-

the names of the m inisters to rea lize how complete has become the government by mandarins, and in some cases enlighted bureau­crats: Favreau, Gordon, Trem blay Sharpe, P ickersg ill and Drury. Neither M r Hayes or M r. Teillet, for example, rea lly represent W estern Canada. It can hardly be said that the very able Mr. P ickersg ill represents Newfound­land. A fter all, he is a Manitoban, a form er history teacher at the University of Manitoba and a form er Deputy M inister at Ottawa. His association with Bonavista- Tw illingate is not of long duration. There is, o f course, some regional leadership in the persons of Maurice Sauve and H.J. Robichaud. But it does not seem that they set the tone or form the policy of the present government. C learly , this government has been unable to represent the aspirations of the regions.

Since 1887, the L ibera ls have von a m ajority of seats in the Province o f Quebec in every election but two. In 1958 the Conservatives won a m ajority and in 1962 the L ibera ls won a plurality not a m ajority. This long

tenure of power in the Province of Quebec is the basis o f national L ibera l success since 1896. Two disturbing factors should be noted here. In the firs t place, such a long period o f power strengthens an organization and produces arrogant managers. The current fiasco in Ottawa gives a clear indication that the federal L ibera l organization in Quebec, has become unmanageable. At the same time, this long association with the Quebec m ajority has strengthened enormously the conservative tra ­dition within the L ibera l Party. Neither of these aspects of Quebec L ibera lism have tended to streng­then and maintain the unity of Canada.

I am suggesting that the Liberal Party cannot any longer be regarded as a party of national unity. Its present situation is conditioned by the past, and in some respects it is a victim of its own successes. F irs t, its history has made it overly sensitive to A m eri­can pressure. Canada now needs autonomy within North Am erica if it is to have a viable national existence much less a rea l national unity. Second, the L ibera l Party, through its long association with national power and with Quebec m ajorities is unable to renew itself in the fie ld of provincial and local leadership. It has become the party

o f the centralists viewing virtually every problem through the eyes of the enlighted bureaucrat in Ottawa. Third , the L ibera l Party tasted too much v ictory over a period of 78 years in the province of Quebec. The Quebec wing of the L iberal Party has become a law unto itse lf. Although strong organiza­tionally in Quebec, it has not adequately represented the people o f that province since 1960. The present unfording situation is grim indeed and certainly m ilitates against the possibility of the federa l L ibera l Party capturing the rea l confidence of the people of Canada.

The dilemma of the L iberal party poses a great danger for Canada. The federal L ibera l Party, cut off from regional rea lity , divorced from the “ silent revolution” in Quebec, losing the respect of large areas of the Canadian community, may resort to an easy method o f maintaining its position: an appeal to French Canadian nationa­lism . If it does this and does it successfully it may continue to govern in the House of Commons with a m ajority besed on 80 or so Quebec seats. But by then, we w ill be floundering in bi-national c ris is brought to a head by the expediency of the L ibera l Party machine. Canadian Dimensions April 65 Prof. D. Swainson Dept, of history.

fifth of farm operation in Canada while approximately 70 per cent earn less than $1,300. Forty-three per cent o f the operators on farm holdings in Canada earn as much income for off-farm sources as was earned by the operator and upaid fam ily held for labour and management from farming.

The objective of the adjustment programme is to give equality of opportunity to economically and socia lly disadavantaged people (to use the ARDA phrase). The means proposed are designed to enc­ourage these people to release the resources they are not exploiting efficiently, to encourage them to train and, where they fa il to find private employment, to o ffer them jobs in new kinds of public works activ ities . This could include a wide range of public works including improvement of urban and rural parks, roadways, re fo r- estration, beach and campsite improvement, litter and pollution control, etc. The programme w ill both encourage and make possible their movement from their present location in depressed areas to selected “ growth centres,” hope­fully, in most cases, within their own provinces and regions. It must be stressed again that no element of coercion is proposed. What is proposed is to o ffe r to the poor of Canada through public policy and social action the opportunities for e c o n o m i c and social advancement which cannot be expected to be provided automatic­a lly through the private sector of a market-oriented economy.

The adjustment programme for uneconomic farm ers has two ob­jectives : to reallocate and ensure the optimun use o f their land and, through the prevision of transitional income, training and job opportunities, to achieve the fullest d e v e l o p m e n t of their productive and creative abilities. To achieve the firs t objective it is necessary, as a condition for entering the programme, for the farm er to se ll his farm to a provincial farm land rationaliz­ation agency or to a purchaser approved by it. Since little adjustment may be expected by farm ers aged 55 and over, it is proposed that they be permitted, even though they have sold their land, to retain for life the use of their farm homes. The proposed provincia l farm land rationalization agencies could operate on compar- itively moderate revolving funds. The only net costs involved would presumably be adm inistrative and interest charges. F irst, he should be provided with an adjustment salary of $200. per month. Second, he should be offered a resource release bonus of $1,800 as an incentive to dispose o f his land to the government agency. Third if he chooses to move to an approved “ growth centre” , where economic opportunities are greater and improved social services, including education, can be provid­ed at far lower per capita costs, he should be offered a relocation bonus of $1,890. And finally, he should be o f f e r e d a training incentive payment of $1,200. Members of the urban labour force under the age of 55 and falling within the poverty category should also be offered an adjustment salary o f $2,400 for one year, but on the condition that training is accepted. They should also be offered a relocation bonus of $1,200.

part of the programme would be 1 completed within 10 years. If all those e l i g i b l e accepted the maximum benefits under the plan, ^ the total gross cost would amount to some $7 m illion or an average , o f $700 m illion a year for 10 years. Put another way, this is a J little over one-third of our annual defence costs and less than 1-1/2 per cent of our GNP. The bulk o K _ the programme would be completed ' within 10 years. Since the war we have sunk billions in more or less "* instant obsolescence for m ilitary -j hardware. We are w illing to expand a m o u n t s approaching this magnitude on major r iver and, resource development projects ̂without hesitation because they are obviously good investments in ► higher productivity. If we had allowed our prim ary iron and steel — industry to languish in obsoles­cence we would certainly need investments of this magnitude to^ regain our position in the forefront 1 of modern t e c h n o l o g y . Are equivalent investments in higher 4 productivity in millions of acres of land and in some 5 million: Canadians (including families1 likely to be less obviously a goo investment.

It must be emphasized most strongly that these costs just cited represent maximum utilization of "" the plan. This is a highly unrealistic assumption on a voluntary plan. — Furthur, these are gross costs. They would, for example, be offset^, by sharp reductions in welfare payments and the elimination of many urban and a g r i c u l t u r a l . program m es now made necessary { by the existence of low incomes. If m the indirect costs associated with- ’ poverty are taken into account, ' the net cost of this programme would be reduced still further. F inally, since these costs are ̂rea lly investments in higher human and resource productivity, if a true benefit-cost ration could be worked out, it would be found to be highly favourable. The m ultiplier effect o f this kind of investment could not fa il to be pronounced.

The major share of the financing o f these programmes must come from the federal government. Not ^ only are they beyond the capacity , o f the provinces to contemplate, * but since the benefits (in labour i skills and m obility) w ill be national, _ in equity the financing must also be national. At the same time, the provinces would have major res - . ponsibilities for the administration 1 of these plans and these would ~ involve complementary expendi- \ tures, with a major part being 1 earmaked for education. Indeed ~ 1 without the highest degree of federa l-provincia l co-operation it is difficult to see how such a 1 program m e could be carried out. ^ Fortunately, the b rie f history of ARDA gives some hope for devel- ■ oping the king o f co-operation - needed.

What a ll this means is that if we want to solve our national J problem o f unemployment and less than optimum economic growtn, ~ we must solve our widespread problem of poverty. It also means that appropriate efforts to remove the scandal of mass poverty w ill constitute an impetus to national economic growth rather than a drag upon it. If adequate resources ■' are mobilized, a sound strategy adopted and appropriate tactics employed, the “ War on Poverty” ’ ' w ill succeed.
