The council passed one major motion. The porters will no long- er let a student into a locked room unless the student can prove it is his own room.

Engineers in weekend Olympics At noon tomorrowatFourWells,

Just north of theweber-KingStreet intersection, a wide range of sports starts.

There will be interclass giant- pushball games, featuring a six- foot-diameter beachball. In canoe- jousting, two teams in two canoes will charge each other, like the knights of old. Their horse is the canoe and their lance is a 15-foot

pole with a large end. The losing team is the one ending up in the lake.

At four o’clock, thefeature soft- ball game, the Sewer Bowl, will see the Engineering 3A and 4A

all-stars try to prove themselves in the same class, as the faculty team. The game will be played on the soccer field, just east of the railway tracks at the edge of the campus.

Rockway hosts golf tourney today Rain or shine, the first summer

golf tournament staged by the unim versity’s intramural department will be held today at Rockway Golf Club in Kitchener.

The tournament will last all day and participants may tee off any tirne except between 10and Ilo’- clock.

The normal green fee of $2.50 will be reduced $1 for this tourna-

ment. This reduction will be ac- complished by a refund from the intramural department and will be made at thegolfcoursewhenparti- cipants pay. A student ID card must be shown in order to be eligi- ble for the refund.

The tournament is open to all U of W students presently on campus. Special prizes will be given to the lowest men and women scorers.

Campus-center strikeout: workers ‘steel’ unhappy...

Construction of the campus cen- ter may be further delayed by the strikes of ironworkers and brick- layers.

An official of Ball Bros. Ltd, the contractor working on the building project, said the only activity in- volves a skeleton staff “just put- tering around doing what they can.”

Fortunately the campus center is the only one of the buildings now being constructed on campus to be seriously affected by the strikes. The other buildings--food servic- es, phys-ed, math, biology addi- tion, Village tutors ’ residences and St. Jerome’s addition--have

progressed beyond the steel and brick stage. .

The ironworkers union has been on strike throughout Southern On- tario since May.

Locally the two strikes are the first major construction crisis since the summer of 1963 when five consecutive construction strikes occurred.

The strikes are only two of a number to hit campuses this sum- mer . Two weeks ago plumbers I working on campus staged a wild- cat walkout because blacktop la- borers wer e laying pipe under pavement .

,,.but garbage carries on BURNABY, BC’ (CUP)--Garbage

is back to normal at SimonFraser University.

By a vote Of 41 to 34 the university ‘s maintenance s t aff have agreed to return to work. An offer of increased wages and fringe benefits brought standards to the level of outside projects although actual rates are still lower.

The offer came unexpectedly af- ter increasing student pressure for strike settlement and improved food facilities. A brief presented on behalf of residence students emphasised “the responsibility of the administration to maintain a satisfactory standard of cleanlin-

ess in the areas which are common to all students.” Numerous cases of illness among residents were also noted, -

The administration was report- edly happy with the early strike settlement.

Haiti - a country of extreme poverty Haiti is the smallest independ-

This is one reason that Dr. J. Winfield Fretz, president of Con- rad Grebel College on campus, visited Haiti for two weeks earl- ier this summer.

The situation, Dr. Fretz found, was t‘deplorable”c

“There is a real need for aid,“’ he said. “85 percent of the popu- lation is illiterate and the rate is increasing rather than decreas- ing.”

Many factors are hampering the literacy rate, said Dr, Fretz. The population grows faster than the

number of schools. Not only are there no schools in certain areas but “Extreme poverty forces hun- dreds of children remain CO at home. Their efforts at working might be enough to keep a family alive.” Also they are completely uninterested in learning.

The agricultural program spon- sored by the Mennonite Central Committee is well-received. MCC tries to teach self-reliance, Dr. Fretz said, but it is hard to wear through the deep layers of voodoo- ism, the religionpracticed by most of the native mulatto population.

Haiti is an island of great need. “Its slums are no comparison to the poorer section of Toronto or Montreal,” Dr. Fretz said. “The poverty is unbelievable.”

His visit served two purposes. First, he was part of a four-

member team sponsored by the said Dr. Fretz,- The University of Haiti has no labratory. It eventu- ally asked for the use of the lab in Bird College, a schoolsponsor- ed by the English Methodists, The University of Haiti medical school is only books and bare walls. Most of tie graduates leave.

Mennonite Colleges of Canada and America. The team consisted of an agriculturalist from Michigan State University, the head a coll- ege, the director of the Latin Am- erican Center of the Mennonite Central Committee and Dr. Fretz as a sociologist,

They were to survey the possi- bilities of using the area for ser- vice and research, For example, Dr. Fretz said, asocialogistmight be interested in taking a sabbatical leave. He could be sent to Haiti and do reserach ontheisland coun- try.

During his visit Dr.Fretzinter- viewed a cross-section of Haiti’s population, He spoke to missfon- aries and natives, government offi- cials and educators. All these in-

terviews had been previously ar- ranged.

I-Us second role concerning Hai- ti was to re-evaluate the need for financial and practical aid. At present the Mennonite Central Commfttee has a community devel- opment program to aid in educa- tion, agriculture and health, There

are 20 to 25 people working on this program in Haiti.

“The slums of Port-Au-Prince are no comparison to those of Toronto or Montreal,” said Dr. J. Winfield Fretz, who recently returned from Haiti.

This book is a collection of ten essays by German historians on the Nazi triumph in Germany.

For a long time’ the question of how the Nazis came to power in Germany has been one of interest to historians.

Ten German historians have ex- anined this question with mixed results, in this volume.

The first three essays seem to say democracy couldn’t work in Central Europe; parliamentary government was not a German tradition; and there was consider- able antidemocratic throught in Germany. These arguments do not seem to stand the test of ask- ing why not?

The chapters on the parties, while describing their internalsit- uations quite well, do not cotiider the question of why a popular front of the left could not be formed.

The essays of the Nazi takeover are straight history and show how inefficient the Nazi power struc- ture was.

The most illuminating chapters concern the early resistance to the Nazis, which collapsed after Mu+ i&, and the changes in the German social systa which mitigate the possibility of another Nazisitua- tion from being created.

The appendices are quite useful in providing chronologies of the German political scene.

+ Activists What is the university? What

Should it be? What are we looking for in g4educationJ9 ?

A committee of the university senate, including three student mem- bers, is studying this problem - an important problem - in relation to uni- versity government at U of W. The Federation of Students was invited to submit a brief and did so in May.

As part of an ongoing discussion on the problem, Stephen Flott, one of the student members on this com- mittee, replies to a criticism of the brief by Carl Silke, a fourth-year math and physics student. Silke’s position was printed in the Chevron two weeks ago.

by Stephen Flott graduate history

“Events . . . on the campuses of Cana- dian universities have long since shown that the operation of a university can no longer be considered a closed commun- ity. The voices of faculty and students should be heard directly--not merely through committees or other buffers--by

the men who make the fundamental deci- b sions affecting the university,” said a Globe and Mail editorial on June 16.

Carl Silke’s offering in the recent de- . bate over the Federation of Students’ brief, ‘A proposal for university govern- ments shows not only his confusion over the essential question, but also his gross misunderstanding of the document he pur- ports to cridcize. It even raises the ques- tion of whether Mr o Silke actually read the brief.

Mr. Silke’s statement of minister of university affairs William Davis’ position

on student representation in the govern- ment of the university does not corres- pond to the minister’s own statements: “...A story in the Globe and Mail which indicated the minister was opposed to stu- dent representation on a board of gover- nors . ..does not reflect the position of the minister whatsoever.” (Legislature of Ontario debates s June 14, p. 4774)

Mr. Davis did not choose “judici~usly~’ to oppose a ‘controversial bid by thestu- dents of the University of WesternOntario to gain representation on that university’s board of governors ,‘* as Carl Silke wrote.

Rather, Davis remained silent during the debate at Queen’s Park and thenweakly at- tempted to cover his broken track by claiming: “I do not object, nor does the ;over&ent , to student representation,

are not planning a university coup \ . The (university) presidents are not oppos- ed to a student representation. They are only asking for time to consider it.” (Globe and Mail, June 16)

The childish allegation that student activists are planning a university coup falls flat on its face. Simply reread the definition of “university” upon which the Federation’s brief was based: “The ti- versity government must seek to instil1 in the minds of its members an understand- ing of, and a desire to participate in, the radical activity of learning and searching, in addition to providing them withthenec-

ry technical, adrninistr the or schol-

arly skills which will fit them for positions in society.”

Further to this, the noted student acti- vist, Dr. T.L. Batke, U of W vice-presi- dent, described the students’ proposal as “a splendid presentation on the whole university conxn~ty?

There is absolutely no attempt being made by either President Steve Ireland, the other members of the Student Council committee on university government or the Student Council itself to “transform students into policymakers I’. (Carl Silke)

Rather, as made quite clear on more than one occasion, the brief wants to t rans - form the government of this universityin- to one which can and will respond to a legi- timate student point of view.

The brief has spelled out that there is no attempt to seat an overpowering number of students on any throne of con- trol, rather an attempt to formally rec- ognize the right of students to a voice in those decisions which affect them.

No, Mr. Silke, we do not want student policymakers, but we do want students to be consulted when and where policies are being made. We do not feel that entrust- ing this type of representation to an in- formal structure will guarantee the stud-

ent community a fair on consistent hear- ing.

Mr. Silke rather cloudily asserts that, should the community of scholars which Steve Ireland advanced come into being, it would mean a decimationof students who would be willing to serve on university committees. This stands as testimony to Carl Silke’s distance from the real world of our university. Already students serve on many committees of the university: ancillary enterprises, athletics, library, planning and others.

What I find particularly repugnant about some university students is their lack of interest in the learning process--what Mr. Ireland calls “expediting their graduat- ions “. What I find incomprehensible a- bout Mr. Silke’s response to this is that he demeans Mr. Ireland’s statement--and at the same time remains so totally una- ware of the real university and its stud- ents that he actually believes most stud- ents are here to learn. That is, Mr. Sil- ke, not only to complete courses, but to learn more about anything that interests l3ElT-l.:

The desire to learn has one neceS- sary correlative: a very skeptical inves- tigation of what is and a restless curios- ity to know--not just one specific area, but as much as one can about as many things as one can, for fields of knowledge are almost totally interdependent.

What is true in physics must be borne out in mathematics and must affect the deliberations of both the engineer and the philosopher . How many students has Mr. Silke seen or met who are vitally inter- ested in more than their course work (we assume that course work comes first.)

Mr, qilke’s dean, Dr. W&E. McBryde, solicited his faculty council’s opinion in April on his proposed study of the first- year curriculum and on “theappropriate- ness of inviting student participation in this study,” (Dean’s report tothescience faculty council). Possibly he was off the beaten track.

Again, Dr. J. Sayer Minas, deanofarts, in statements on student participation in

the departments of the various faculties, ethos rather than contradicts one of the basic suggestions of the Federation% brief. (The Chevron, May 12)

* * *

It would be absurd to think that any- one is concerned with nothing but univer- sity government. But university govern- ment is part of the scene at the Univer- sity of Waterloo as the senate study com- mittee on university government has made very clear by their year of investigation.

Students were INVITED to partici- pate. Mr. Ireland’s concern with univer- sity government is a result of his workon that committee, and not a result of some psychopathic fascination with our univer- sity’s political structure.

Does Mr. Ireland’s acclamation as president of the Federation 1as.t January show widespread student indifference, as Mr. Silke states? One has just to point out, as the Chevron did (January 13), that there was no one else willing to dull who had ‘Steve Ireland’s “admirable cap~acity for stating his opinions forcibly and yet staying friends with all s’ides.”

“The 1966-67 _ Student Council execu- tive has illustrated that university stu- dents are not always capable of good de- &ion-making”. (Carl Silke) Such non- sense does Mr. Silke’s academic back- ground no justice. Since when does a political body lack the capability of mak- ing good decisions when the definition of “gocxlss is personal opinion and not absol- ute right or wrong!

* 8 *

“The problem of being a student, of being for the society though being abstrac- ted and freed from its particular order, now is reduced to the problem of secur- ing conflict in the academic society. That is to say, the development of conscious- ness in the academic community is the problem of creating conflict within the conceptions in that community itself, so that they may advance beyond the limited static, dead concepts which rule us most immediately in our special studies and’, interests.” (Wayne Hankey, ‘A philosophy for kings and students: September 1966)

Mr. Silke, your lame and disorganized attempt to add to the debate on university government has hardly contributed any- thing to the search for a more meaningful and efficient--in terms of theuniversity’s goals as outlined on the first five pages of the student brief-government of this university.

,;*I . .

I personally, and I’m sure Mr. Ire- land also, welcome any ‘intelligent dis- cussion (that does not mean that we ex- pect agreement with our contentions s passed by Student Council) on the issue of university government. Our brief is hard- ly the last word on the question, but it is an honest attempt to consider a question

which weighs heavily on the ability of this university to educate its junior members.

On Thursday morning I appeared in your office to confirm the gist of the report. In conversation with yourself and Dale Martin, I was as- sured that the report was of amin- or nature and would bequiteaccep- table to all concerned. Copy had apparently gonetopress. As print-

ed in the Chevron it is not accep- table.

Our policy regarding residence regulations has not been in com- plete agreement with Waterloo Lutheran requirements. I would hope that in the near future our policy will be sufficiently &al- to warrant a realistic appraisal by governing bodies in WLU. Until that time the Co-op will accept non-recognition by W LU.

The Co~op is doing its very best to assist with a critical housing shortage in the area. Once again, please check with people concern- ed on printed stories.

The Chevron did not garble Mr. Wood’s words, although perhaps other statements, which he might have preferred quoted, were not used. Miss Savlov was careful to identify herself as a reporter - a long- standing policy of the Chevron - and Mr. Wood said what he said -Editor

could run the cities

To the editor: Who wants a student union? Don’t

all talk at once now. Some people on campus feel it’s about time we students stood up and asked for our naturdl-born, God-given rights. Like recognition of the $18 million we spend each year iti the twin vi& ages,

So they say we should form a un- ion. Call it, say, the Waterloo Un- ion of Students. Use it to boycott places in K-W that are unfair to us.

Is it possible? Could thestudents at U of W and WUC get together and run the area? There ARE enough of us to run up the middle of a Wat- erloo mayora.Ity race and put Stew Saxe in, or Joe Recchia on the city councfl or C. Dale Martin on the school board.

Dear AL& Launders: Last week my employer sunk to

great. depths when he agreed to send a cameraman to cover that infantile wat erfight . Well, those dammed infants soaked me and I went home to mommy without any film. Then Igotfired. Whatshould I do?

Dear Ex: Since you. are obviously not cut

out for a war correspondent, may I suggest that you hire out to the Co-op as a recorder of their hap- penings, so that they have a better proof of what they do at time%

Dear Aunt Launders: You must clean up this FILTHY

paper ! Until your despicable entry and ‘As the words wag on’ are eI- iminated, I will continue to read

Dear Seedy: How on earth do you get theidea

that my colwnn is filthy? I will have you know that it is printed only after the news editor has re-

Dear Hal: Please try to keep in mind that

The bounds of silence The newspaperbusiness is one of the

most frustrating in the world. And the most frustrating frustration occurs when someone, who has refused to tell you anything, complains to you that a story about him is incorrect.

A few random bolts of lightning have indicatedto us that the faculty of mathe- matics is unhappy with the coverage given their proposed Rene Descartes Foundation. (June 16).

This case is a striking example of what we mean by frustrating.

When the news of the foundation first reached the Chevron, our best reporters were sent out to cover the story. They were misled, given the runaround or just ignored. When it became known that the Chevron was interested in the story, the word was sent down the line and mouths snapped shut like steel traps.

The story still had to be written, and this was done to the best‘ of the reporters’ ability.

Now we hear that the mathematics people aredecrying us as enemies of the people.

Are they angry because we were in error or because we were inquisitive? lf this were an honest venture, why did they try to keep it secret? If they want-

On Tuesday two university of Water-

Must we loo students were convicted of a criminal offense.

The students were fined, but this is the least of their worries.

Both now have criminal records. A criminal record is a serious im-

. pediment to job-finding. The person with a criminal record cannot be bonded. He cannot join any law agency or civil service, and related jobs are barred to him.

This raises a serious question. Are persons who commit stupid or silly pranks to be burdened forever with the stigma of a criminal record?

Such a case as this provides a strong case for amnesty or wiping out criminal records after a set period of time. The Pearson government has suggested this.

ed to help the students, why did they not take them into their confidence?

The entire university, as well as the Chevron, would like to hear some an- swers.

The Chevron has always felt that openness and honesty was the best policy for all.

It is only when openness is shunned and secretiveness reigns that stories convey incorrect or partially correct information.

Why must there be the feeling that the student newspaper must be lied to and avoided? What is there to kee p secret?

Noted political scientist James Eayers recently told journalists in Toronto that there is no reason for foreign policy decision-making to be kept secret. To do so would be to offend against the people.

The same ‘case could be made for decision-making in the university. How can the students participate in the life of the university if they are not aware of events?

And how can they be aware if there is a conspiracy of silence against the newspaper?

This change in the law can be con- sidered enlightened and would be most

welcome.

The application of such legislation to the college student is quite clear. The pressurecooker that is the university often builds up tensions that lead to foolish, irrational, antisocial acts that may result in a criminal conviction. It is time that society recognized this.

There is also the problem of the college demonstrator. If a person was arrested in a demonstration that sought to make a better or racial discrim

The problem is clear, and so is the solution.

Co-op -drowns the Village , .

*The winners, Liz Baker (top ten ter) and several jubilant com- batants prepare to make a final victory march to the sacred shores of Laurel Creek. However, Liz eIected not to be thrown into the soup again.

Some ideas for pranks are all wet. But Saturday’s Great Water- fight between the Village and the Co-op was so completely all wet that it was all right.

At about 2:45 the Village team of Linda Hardy, 19, and her four escorts met the Co-op defenders and their charge Liz Baker,‘also 19. Both girls are in math I.B.

An intitial barrage doused the audience, who f elt it a small price to pay for seeing a war socloselyti

Then the Co-op, using brilliant tactics and superior organization, trounced the Village in less than seven minutes.

The Village sported a demolish- ed umbrella, four soaked fighters, a shredded paper dress and a drip- ping redhead. Inspired by their quick victory the Co-opers attack- ed the Villagers in a battlein which only spirits were not dampened.

Fortunately the only serious casualities werea water spider and several small fish. However, itis rurnored that the health-services office has been flooded with quer- ies about the incubation period of typhoid fever.

Perceptive watchers were able to pick the winner before the fight began. Linda’s dress was made from an inferior Hamilton daily while Liz’s was entirely composed of higher quality Chevrons.

Mike Restago (rhythm), Jim Totzke (lead singer), Harvey Blouse (bass), Helmi Geimer (lead guitar) and Charley Schraud (drums) are the Orphans, a fast-rising, come-on-strong group from Kitchener. They appear at the Campus Rest every Thursday, Friday and Saturday night.

The losers, Greg Tehan and Linda Hardy (the short one on the right), display perfect losing form. Note the remnants of one miserable Villager’s umbrella and the last of Linda’s dress over the shoulder.
