volume 11 number 8 ‘UN-IVERSITY OF WATERLOO, Waterloo, Ontario friday 3 juty 1970

American national tenants association member Ed Roy Harris addresses the second annual con- vention 6f the Ontario tenants association in Hamilton. The convention discussed, among other things, collective bargaining for rental terms and nationalized housing as a step toward govern- mental eradicgtion of slum housing conditions.

. . Referendum, taxes ‘ coticern GSU grads

Attendance at last monday night’s grad student union meet- ing seemed to point out the apathy most grad- students feel for -GSU activities. /

Only 24 people (of over 1500 regular term grads)-forty less than quorum-attended to dis- cuss current graduate student problems, especially with the federation of students.

As far as-grad status within the federation of students was con- cerned, a referendum is being mailed this summer to all grads in order to achieve an accurate indication -of -whether grads feel federation membership is worth- while.

The meeting was also told that the executive was arranging for a report to be sent to Ottawa expressing grad views on the recent white paper on taxation. Of major concern in the report would be the effect of proposed

In the meantime, the GSU has arranged with federation presi- dent Larry Burko to have the $22 grad fee suspended this fall until october 31 by which time full referendum results should be known.

“Revolutions aren’t made over- night. The struggle is a long one. You can’t do it without people.”

So spoke Mr. Jesse Gray, of the american national tenants organization at the second annual convention of the Ontario tenants association, held June 26-28 in Hamilton.

“I have no confidence that the system is going to solve the housing crisis. We have to ex- haust tenants’ illusions about the system.. .people must come first, and property second. That is the fundamental struggle. We have to change and’ reshape the government.

“Democracy- belongs to those in power. When you start to challenge their democracy, you get in trouble. We have to develop a revolutionary people’s move- ment and build a new govern- ment for the people. ”

Mr. Gray, and his associate, Ed Roy Harris, who also addres- sed the meeting, are both blacks, and are both extremely militant. They .believe that such actions as the “People’s Park” venture

’ in Berkley do not reflect the . mainstream of american rad-

icalism. In the United States, where housing costs run 85% high- er than tenant incomes, thousands of people are being radicalized

i by such struggles as the fight for rent control, which is --being waged in thirty-nine american

, cities.

Gray emphasized that legiti- mate channels are closed to the poor--both black and white. The real estate lobby is the second largest in the country and there is little chance to win in the courts, which Gray calls a “mid-- dle class phenomena. ”

According to Gray, most of the judges in New York city, for example, are slum landlords; New York mayor John Lindsay is himself a slum landlord who has tried to turn his following of “peaceniks” a.gainst those engag- ed in rent struggles.

“The heart of the question,” Harris and Gray agree, is “max- imum profits” versus “marginal profits. ” Many landlords would rather sell their buildings than make only marginal profits. Gray and his associates in the NT0 are trying to convince poor blacks that private ownership is not the answer. “The only answer is to nationalize housing.”

Indicting private property The sentiments of Gray and

Harris proved to be an apt begin- ning- for the weekend that follow- ed. The seventy-five delegates to the- conference, from several major centers in Ontario, includ- ed welfare recipients, working people, and women who are

supporting a family on mother’s allowance.

All had a common interest in the housing situation in Ontario, and the majority were sympa- thetic to Gray’s indictment of private property, and his call for militant action by tenants.

In her report to the conven- tion, out-going chairman Joan Kuyek of Kingston, echoed Gray’s warning about relying on the law courts for decent settlem,ents in housing disputes: “Don’t ex- pect anything out of the courts. We didn’t make the laws and they’re not for us; they’re for the guys on the other side.

“The law is not-about justice. It’s about protecting property and the landlords.

“We have to care about each other and not argue amongst our- selves. We must treat each other with dignity and have self-re- spect.” -

Mrs. Kuyek was speaking here in response to a heated debate which had taken place between conference delegates and a real estate agent who had charged welfare recipients with lack of initiative.

“What our income is is not our fault, and is not of our making. We got put there,” said Kuyek.

“Those people who make a lot

of money do so because they live off other people. Unemploy- ment is created to put down in- flation for the fat-cats who live off us. We’re subsidizing them.” Thrive on housing crisis

Before the conference adjourn- ed late sunday afternoon, it re- affirmed its founding convention’s statement of principles which stated that two classes of people are interested in housing; those who live in it and those who live off it. The latter comprised de- velopers, real estate speculators,’ lending institutions, landlords’ lobbies y and the governments which are all too ready to heed , their wishes. It is these institutions which are responsible for the housing crisis and they alone who benefit from it+

The- Ontario tenants associa- tion seeks to represent a grow- ing part of the first group, that is, those who rent the accommo- dations they occupy. The OTA bases all its policies and actions on the premises that everyone has the right to decent accommo- dation which he or she can afford; that it is the responsibility of government to ensure that this housing is provided and that because tenants, through their rent, pay for the financing, op- erations and maintenance of their accommodations, they should be entitled to bargain collectively over the terms of their rents, and over the quantity” and quality of services provided.

this week from pollution probe

~ Recycling our waste by Jay Thompson ,

. - Chances are that no matter

what you do with it, your dis- carded newspaper ends its brief career by ‘being unceremoniously dump@ in a landfill site along

, with- plastic javex containers and empty beer cans.

This is not the answer. Paper can be recycled And it can be recycled economically, saving natural resources and subsidiz- ing its own collection.

Yet, despite these facts no Canadian city has given serious consideration to recycling the paper they now collect as non- descript garbage.

TREND SETTERS K-W could become the trend

setters in this development if they will anly give the merits of wastepaper recycling their full and unbiased attention when the basis for the scheme will be pre-

, sented to Twin City councils in the near future by pollution probe.

In the first place, the amount of paper that is gathered in with garbage is high, constituting some 46 per cent of all garbage collected.

This means that of the 9,545 tons of garbage transported by the city of Waterloo last year, 4,000 of these were paper. Of Kitchener’s garbage, 36,000 tons consisted of paper.

Not- all of this paper was news-- print, but all of, it was usable. As a matter of fact newsprint makes up 30 per cent of the total paper .with a market price of 10 dollars a ton. Cardboard ( 15 per

cent of paper collected) brings in 15 dollars per ton.

The other 55 per cent is “miscellaneous” (with fluctuat- ing market value, probably averaging 5 dollars to the ton.

In pure dollars and cents, how- ever, the total is impressive. Had Waterloo disposed of its paper collections on the market last year they would have earned 32,- 000 dollars for their taxpayers. ’

Kitchener’s bonus dividends would have equalled 286,000 dol- lars.

Or, to put it another way, of the 108,500 dollars spent by Wat- erloo /for garbage collection, the sale of paper \would have defrayed some 30 per cent of the-expenses.

Those are figures any city administrator and taxpayer can understand. It means that if the cost of collecting paper is roughly equal to the price received for those papers, then at least one aspect of municipal service is self-supporting.

That’s something to think about.

SEWENTEti-N TREES There is more, however, than

simply reselling paper to com- mend the plan. ’

Last year the United States sent almost 350 million- tons of solid wastes to open land dumps. Ten years from now the predicted dumping of solids will exceed one-half billion tons.

How much available space is there? Far better to save it for necessary garbage than to squan- der it as a burial grounds for paper which can be recycled.

Paper In fact, this lack of space is one

of the “most pressing- environ- mental problems” of our times. Authorities are now reviewing a variety of solid waste items with an eye to future recycling.

There is also the cost consider- ation. The less dumping and filling that, is done, the lower expenses will be.

And, consider this. For every ton of paper that is recycled seventeen trees can be left stand- ing. That means that K-W could have saved ‘well over 650,000 trees last year had they been re- cycling their paper.

Needless to add, our natural resources won’t take the pressure of this unrestrained wastage for- ever. f

FEASIBIL’ITY

A program aimed at collecting wastepa’per separate from other forms of garbage can be initiated.

Presently, several New Jersey towns are pioneering this form of collection. Bylaws against placing newspapers in with gar- bage are being enacted to ‘give the

-project teeth while enthusiastic support from local organizations is insuring the success of the experiment.

i Costs, too, for collection of dual waste can be kept to a minimum. Madison, Wisconsin has devised a basket-type appliance for their vehicles, thereby allowing both paper and garbage to be collected simultaneously while being kept separate for disposal purposes.

QUALITY PAPER A vaguely poetic ad from Berg-

strom Papers of Neenah, Wiscon- sin affords some insight into the industrial aspect of recycling paper: “We make paper out of paper. We wash yesterday’s his- tory out of it. The ink. We beat out yesterday’s clay. And resins. And fillers. And binders. A thread remains: A clean pure fibre born long ago in a green forest.”

The result of the process is the basic material needed to manu- facture high quality paper.

Most of Bergstrom’s paper is used by book publishers.

.~Thus, recycling can be a big business. Last year, United States papermakers processed 365,000 tons of newspapers com- ing away -with 45 million dollars

‘worth of newsprint. Obviously there is a market

.for recycled paper, both real and potential.

But it must be expanded. The raw material is available. The price is competitive. In some cases it is even cheaper to re- cycle paper.

It only remains for the cities of Canada to supply these ma- terials and boost this type of papermaking industry. Until they do the price will be high in both natural resources j wasted and garbage collection budget costs.

It is for this reason, then, that K-W pollution probe is going to present wastepaper recycling briefs to Twin City councils.

A beginning has to be made somewhere. And soon. Why not with K-W? Other cities might follow our lead. THIS HAS BEEN PART ONE OF A TWO PART SERIES 0~ PAPER RECYCLING IN THE K-W AREA ’

Next week will examine how paper recycling can be applied, who can contribute and how, and what measures ‘will be deemed necessary to institute the project in order to make it successful. I

Students in front of the entrance to Westgate Walk protest - the board of governors decision to buy a new house there for < our new president. \

Field trip studies \ u dying stibculture

A group of’250 students caused mild consternation among resi- dents of Kitchener’s posh West- gate Walk Wednesday when they held a street dance and “be-in” in front of the home recently pur- chased by the university for its future presidents. ‘-

Arriving in the early afternoon after a trek along Westmount, the students took up a collection and purchased fruit, snacks and drinks and listened to guitar music while a few’ of them en- gaged curious owners in a dis-

I cussion of their protest. - Their presence disturbed Mrs.

Leo Whitney-whose husband is a board of governors member- who felt their #protest should be postponed, until president-desig- nate Burt Matthews actually took occupancy. “If you leave now,” she said, “I’ll make sure Mr. Matthews invites you all to a party.”

Local police patrolled the street and were in radio contact

. with officers several hundred yards beyond the area on a golf course.

When, one of these ‘officers began to approach the street, a patrolman radioed to him “I hope you have your life insur- ance paid up if you’re going to go over there. ”

Aside from protesting the spending of university funds on such an “extravagance,“, the group, according to one spokes- man, was “investigating the life- styles and mores of that vanish- ing but still powerful subculture, the very rich. ”

He continued that the group was - considering establishing a perma-

nent missionary service for West- gate Walk once a suitable number of volunteers was found.

M4M changes its nume While working to build “an

alternate community” in Kitch- ener-Waterloo, the M4M has decided to also change its name. Now they are identifying them- selves by the name of their plan- ned free rock festival which will be held july 25 and 26-experi- ment ‘70. This reflects a desire of most members to adopt a separate identity from that of the Toronto based may fourth move- ment.

Toronto’s M4M )named after the date of the Kent State kill- ings) is a coalition of factions which was formed to raise bail money for those arrested at the demonstration in front of the US consulate-in Toronto.

M4M has generally adopted more ‘militant’ confrontation tac- tics while experiment ‘70 is more involved in such activities as organising the free rock concert such as the one held in Victoria park a couple of weeks ago. I

In response to high prices at rock festivals the M4M in Tor- onto organized a’ gate-crashing at

the Festival Express held in the CNE grounds. The admission prices were 14 -dollars in advance and 16 dollars at the door for the two day concert.

M4M claims that the ripoff festivals steal their youth culture and resell it to them at exhorbi- tant prices.

’

Experiment. ‘70 is primarily concerned with struggling for cultural survival by building an alternative community.

Some of the people are trying to establish free and cheap food stores. Others are setting up a picnic in Victoria park for, july 12.

The main event being planned at present is the free rock con- cert july 25 and 26 to be held in the Waterloo centennial park. It will feature rock bands from Toronto, Barrie and Kitchener.

Anyone interested in helping with the qrganization of the con- cert is invited to drop in with their ideas at the Tunnel Inn on Fred- erick street.

GETTING STRAIGHT

And this week, cashing in on the youth market, is the movie “Getting Straight.” I don’t want to be too down on it, because it does have its good points;and some of it may even change a few heads, but I wouldn’t bet on it. Essentially it is the story of a guy named Harry Bailey who ,was in- volved in the ban-the-bomb and the civil rights movement during his un- dergraduate days, and now is determined to stay uninvolved in politics and get his MA. in English so he can teach.

But all sorts of forces conspire against him. The student radicals (who seem to be protesting everything under the sun in one shot) keep.asking his advice, and the administration wants to use him as a go-between.

All of the characters (with the exception of Harry and his girlfriend) are one-dimensional stereotypes, but this is not to say that they are bad. Just as Heller uses typesrather than real people in Catch - zz in order to effectively point up ‘absurdity, this movie makes good use of types to simplify and stress the absurdities and stupidities facing Harry.

. _- Some of the situations are a bit too much, and the rapid jump-from one

major issue to another so that every problem besetting youth may be - milked for its topicality makes one a little dizzy. Some of the points the

movie tries to make lose some of their bite because of this, and the re- lationship between Harry and his girlfriend is sufficiently murky so that it also only detracts from the theme.

On the positive side, the scenes of the confrontations between the stu- dents and the police who are called in to prevent rioting and who only succeed creating one, are masterfully done. The grisly aspects of mace, and clubbings, and water-hosing turn the scene from that of one-dimen- sional student radicals protesting at one-dimensional administration types to the.horrors of real people being beaten with real clubs by cops c * who hate them.

The seriousness of the confrontation, and the stupidity of the admini- stration in granting token concessions to students who are about to burn the university, coupled with the farce of hi-s MA orals in which one of the professors tries to make Harry agree that homosexual panic is what caused F. Scott Fitzgerald to write the Great Gatsby, finally succeed in driving Harry back to the revolution.

Tired of trying to turn himself inside out in-order to live in this so- ciety, Harry breaks up his orals, and heaves a brick along with the other students who are rioting, and finally, in the midst of utter chaos, he does something which would make Abbie Hoffman proud-he begins making love to his girlfriend while the battle rages about them.

Despite some of the technical flaws and I imagine, the ideological flaws, “Getting Straight” is a movie that is enjoyable to see which is saying a lot in these times of crap.

D URING MARCH 1967 South Africa’s prime min- ister, John Vorster, announced that South Africa was to exchange legations with Malawi. -

_ By this act, Malawi became the only independent african state to enter into diplomatic relations with South Africa. Hastings Banda, one time bete noir of the whites in central Africa, overnight became South Africa’s ablest and most erudite black defender.

This diplomatic exchange, as then so frankly ex- plained in the Johannesburg Star, was “to give South Africa a vital-diplomatic brideghead deep into black

Africa. It will so clear the way for Malawi to become a shop-window example of the benefits of friendly cooperation. ”

Malawi is South Africa’s first and greatest success, outside the former british protectorates-Lesotho, Botswana and Swaziland, which are either surround- ed by South Africa or share a border.

South Africa believes that the attitude towards it of western countries depends not so,much on its obnox- ious internal racial policy as on its ability to live in co- operation with other african states. I

Foreign minister Muller said in 1968 that “as the west becomes aware of our fruitful cooperation with other african states, their attitude towards us improv- es. I believe that it will happen to an increasing de;5 gree because we must simply accept that our rela- tions with the rest of the world are largely determin- ed by our relations with the african states.”

* * * - Malawi, South Africa’s greatest success, is a count-

ry whose whole so&o-political structure is atypical of independent Africa as a whole.

When Hastings Kamuzu Banda -arrived in Nyasa- land. in ‘1958 at the invitation of Congress party mili- tants to take over the leadership of the Nyasaland af- rican congress-he had been absent from the country of his birth for 42 years. He appeared to personify the aspirations of his people to move from the winter of colonialism to the summer of independence.

Banda soon was elected president-general on his .

own-terms, with the personal right to appoint all t other officers and members of the congress executil Today he holds the office of president of the Mala congress, (as it was renamed later )-for life.

The congress militants are partlvto be blamed 1 the grip Banda has on Malawi today. They helped create the Banda personality who was then able to ( erride them, precisely because of the weak ideolt ical base of congress. The mass of the people respoi ed to the call for freedom from the central african ft eration, but were given no vision beyond it.

Banda was also able to weather the storm becat of Malawi’s socio-economic nature. It is amongst t poorest states in Afric-a with an annual per capita come of $42. Rural african household income per he is estimated to be $28 a year and to make matte worse, the country’s income is spread unevenly mongst the various racial groups. Whites avera $3318 a year. .

The country’s greatest economic problem is une ployment flowing from lack of access to the land a lack of capital in developing the industrial sector. r! dressing the malawian parliament in 1967, Banda dicated that roughly 200,000 Malawians were worki in Rhodesia, and 80,000 in the Republic of South Afric The conditions are ripe for South Africa to step in w aid and investment and convert Malawi into anotfl quasibantustan country. -

In an interview with the New York Times of se] 16, 1964-within weeks of independence-Ban made it quite plain he was no democrat. “I am bc and anyone who does not know that is a fool. I deci everything without consulting anybody, and that how things will be done in Malawi. Anyone who do not like that can get out.” He soon introduced a PI ventive detention act and has since banned, restricte departed and executed his opponents-the congre militants-with a ferocity that parallels Vorstei South Africa. _ I _ Banda is clearly oriented towards the capitali

A hungarian immigrant, vintage ‘56, 24-year-old Bonde helped transform a letters-to-the-editor and-member-of- parliament type of organization into one that puts the city’s welfare bureaucracy up against their padded chairs. ‘~

The UCWIC emerged publiely in Vancouver in summer, 1969. Under Bonde’s influence there was an influx of younger unemployed, and the group resolved to tackle the various dehumanizing aspects of life on welfare one at a time. First target was the local banks’ <practice of allowing welfare cheques to be cashed only at a segregated line-up in a certain bank. Some propaganda, a few militant mill-ins at various city banks, some meetings with bank officials, and the fledgling UCWIC had-won its first victory. This ended a technically illegal practice which long had been a needless inconvenience for Vancouver’s welfare vic- tims. UCWIC’s membership and influence grew.

* * * Along with UCWIC’s confidence in public confron-

tations came an increasing ability of the organiza- tion‘s most militant members to deal with the-social worker bureaucracy. Ignorant, uncaring social work- ers-to whom poverty is simply a nine-to-five distas- teful proposition they are obliged to deal with, and

to whom the poor are sub-humans who deserve litth or no respect-suddenly found themselves faced with angry, articulate UCWIC members defending defraud. ed -clien ts.

UCWIC’s Voice of ihe Unemployed newspaper ha-5 continued to list these dozens of small-scale confron- tations :

“A sister needed extra food near the end of the month, barticularly since she had a new mouth to feed. Her so. cial worker couldn’t understand That empfy stomach3

(particularly new babies’) cannot wait till next month’s cheqlie. So she and an UCWIC sister made a visit to the administiation. Result-power through organisation--d $ IO food voucher. ”

UCWIC m%mbers say this is the life of the poor-an endless round of petty bureaucratic hassles, But where Social Welfare’s arbitrary proclamations used to be the last word, the militant Council members now speak up.

The Voice 0-f the Unemployed continues to show cur- rently-prosperous people something bf the human condition of being on welfare-what the poor think and feel:

“People on welfare want jobs-meaningful jobs, not degrading jobs. We want work to do, work that has real social value, not meaningless jobs that don’t even provide a reasonable measure of security for us and our* families. We need work which our children will admire, not jobs which our children will be taught tc despise us for in schools which we have built with our hands and paid for with our taxes.

“We need work thit *wi;l conserve the good things of this world, not pollute and exterminate them-in short, work that supports and does not destroy life.”

But, meanwhile there is no work, of any kind. As UCWIC enters its second year of activity, there are 60,000 British Columbians on welfare. Last year about 30,000 welfare recipients squeaked off the rolls, but an- other 40,000 fell below the subsistence level and into the humiliating welfare whirlpool.

’ To say the least, UCWIC has its work cut out. And they’re getting little help from the people who control the public pursestrings : the city of Vancouver and Wacky Bennett’s minister of welfare Flying Phil Gag- liardi.

Gagliardi, BCers will recall, was bounced as mini- ster of highways a few years back after his wife bor-

anda’s anti-communism and anti-socialism was of the causes of his breach with the Malawi cong-

j party militants. They were quite aware of their ntry’s shortage of development capital. Then the People’s Republic of China offered Mal-

a loan of $50.4 million-interest free-Banda re- -ed the offer, alleging that it was a bribe to secure omatic recognition. The congress militants urged eptance of this generous aid. They wanted to ak away-from Malawi’s absolute dependence on tain. ritish aid has come to over $112 million since in- endence. In addition, Britain is also Malawi’s icipal trade market, taking nearly- 65% of Mal- ‘s exports. The bulk of-expatriates in Malawi are iritish origin, -and the Malawi administration, pol- and military, are in the hands of British officers. nlike the congress militants who wanted a diver- ?ation of trade and aid oriented toward the socia- and other countries in order to counter the heavy

endence on Britain, Banda looked towards the ist regimes in the south.

Al&e Banda-Mal- ‘S then minister of trade and industry and now min-

ister of finance-on a visit to South Africa in 1968 bold- ly suggested that south african indsutrialists could reach markets throughout Africa if they set up fac- tories in Malawi.

Goods marked “made in Malawi” could be sold to countries which placed a formal ban on trade with South Africa. Rhodesia and Malawi have reached a trade agreement providing -free entry for Rhodesian products in Malawi.

There have also been hints of closer military co- operation: South Africa has a military attache sta- tioned in Malawi.

Banda has also defended Portugal’s record in Afri- ca. It is expected that construction of the Nova Freixo railway in Mozambique will be completed next year, in time for Banda to open the line during his state visit to Mozambique. President Triranana of Malagasy has also visited ‘Malawi twice to use it as a channel for contact with South Afria.

Because of the unofficial military agreement be- tween Malawi and the white south for the defense of southern Africia against the “communist menace,” Banda had dared to make arrogant and preposterous territorial claims against neighboring Zambia and Tanzania.

Since implementation of these demands would in- volve the extension of the Malawi border by over 100 miles into Tanzania and incorporation of big slices of _ Zambia, they we:e understandably rejected by Banda’s neighbors.

* * * Malawi has built for itself the reputation of “de-

fender” of the white south. Malawi supports and trades with Rhodesia and South Africa. It condemns and op- poses the liberation movements and it is on record that Banda has put various freedom fighters in jail and sent many back to south african and rhodesian jails..

Banda justifies his policies on the grounds that he has no real alternative. This is not so. Unlike Lesotho or Botswana, Malawi does have some scope for orient- ing its economy away from the white south towards the countries to the north. He instead has relegated a country once proud of its independence, to the role of a bridgehead for apartheid in black Africa. --

By late in addition to ‘publishing’the Voice, UCWIG was

ting with citizens, operating a free clothing cen- and serving over 300 free cups of coffee a day at a welfare office. As the welfare victims organized, :ity became uneasy, and confrontation with wel- administrators came in november. The UCWIC

led that about 50 men had been forced to sleep in streets or wherever they could one weekend be- e the city’s hostels had filled as winter unem- nent hit Vancouver. The council organized a b-in at the welfare office, arguing that the build- vas unused during the night and should be made able to people who heeded it. !lfare officials treated the sleep-in idea as a&joke the spirit of the crowd and the arrival of UCWIC _

lbers carrying mattresses and blankets convin- them that the poor were serious. For the first ? the welfare administration began issuing vouch-

ers for any hotel in the city to accommodate the hos- tel overflow. r Future plans for the organization include inaugura- tion of a free medical aid program; running alderman- ic candidates in this year’s civic elections; and initia- tion of a limited food co-operative which would deal directly with the producers (such as fishermen an,d farmers, who are facing increasing problems from monopolization and mechanization of their industries).

* * * Meanwhile, Vancouver’s militant jobless continue

to draw attention to their plight by the means which avail themselves. When the Canadian senate’s com- mission on poverty visited Vancouver, UCWIC was there. They dispensed with the how-do-you-dos and minced no words. - “Poverty is a crime, and those who are responsible for poverty are criminals,” their brief stated.

“These people include the slum landlords, fat loan sharks, grasping food monopolies and political hacks who worry more about their personal careers and opportunities than solving the nation’s problems.

* * “The people who can* properly be described as living

on welfare are the rich and powerful. They get mil- lions in the form of tax exemptions, government grants and subsidies, and allthe help that is available for them to make another million.

-“We are not for the welfare state. None of our peo- ple are on welfare through their own wish. You.ng children are potential workers; students are workers in training ; mothers are workers, rearing the next generation of workers; the ill and injured are work-

As far as pop festivals go, Fes- tival express ‘70 was a dud. I mean absolutely second-rate. The talent displayed over the two days could easily have been crammed into one. Sure so the Grateful dead were there. And so was The band and Janis Joplin, and one or two other headliners. But one has come to expect a lot more at pop festivals, especially ones ‘with as much advance publicity as the ex- press.

So much for the minor details; let’s talk about the really import- ant aspect of the event-money. Lots of money; after all pop fes- tivals are big business.

Money-like a quarter of a mil- lion bucks. That’s how much the express was expected to make in Toronto. And they are doing it again this weekend in Winnipeg and again next weekend in Cal- gary-

That all adds up to a big bundle of bread, man, and don’t you know who’s paying for it. That’s right, us. We, the youth of Canada and the States and a few other places as well.

Oh yes, you say, but it costs-a lot to put on something as big asa pop festival; you have to pay the performers and the cops and rent a stadium and all that takes mon- ey, so if you really want to see and ’

hear your favorite group5 you have to expect to pay a lot of money.

*Bullshit. BULLSHIT! . Like for instance, the promot-

ers of the rip-off express (and that’s what it was and is, a great huge motherfucking rip-off) ex- pected to realize a profit of 25 per- cent on their investment. Twenty- five percent! There ain’t no capit- alist pig on earth that figures to make a profit of twenty-five per- cent, no matter what he’s selling.

Except rock promoters.

’

.

So if you figure that a “respect- able” profit to make might be more like 3-5 percent, that makes the cost to us about $3-4 cheaper (-tickets for the rip-off express were 14-16 dollars for two days ).

It’s still a big motherfucking rip-off. Cause, like man, they’re gonna make a movie and/or a rec- ord of what happened, and right there is enough money to cover expenses, and still have a little leftover. - I

What they’re doing is ripping us off twice for the same thing. And cause we’re-so hung up on things like blowing dope in front of a pig and not getting busted, we sit back and take /It. Right in the ear! Stupid, man, stupid, stupid, STU- PID!

Two days, while Arthur was storm’trouping hjs garden, the left tenet complained bitterly abou.t the lack of cold. Arthur hurried to a stop and sat in ‘dis’ gusty area where the wind has once or thrice caused construction.

“Look, pleasant,” he mongruled, “do you mean...” “I am his majesty’s good service, and I mean nothing.” Was the reply (curt)? “I am his servant’s good magically, and I’ll tolerate no heresy or I’ll turn you, then eat you.”

Which was how the rumor started that Arthur had a bird. I

But, our story has a happy middle, which is where we are just now, so prepare yourself for a let-up in the tension, a relief from anxiety, a relaxing moment. Headache, edgy, on pins and needles? Try to remember a time in September when you were a sparrow and the bird house was narrow. Love is the answer. What was the question. So the next time someone asks you, “What?“, say, “Love” and if they answer, “1 5 or 20”, you’ve got a game, providing you want to play.

Now, back to our tale. “l-have but one country to give for my life.” “Not enough!” “I’ll throw in the title to my freedom. I’ll donate a cache of arms.” “As an appendage?”

“No. . as the reach necessary to win the lady of your choice by touch.” “You’re getting serious.” “I didn’t mean . .” _ “Intent doesn’t matter in life! I haven’t got time to know YOU.”

“You’re getting serious too.” “I’m above you. I’m allowed to point out your mistakes and correct YOU.”

“Heffer dust!” “REBELLION . Guards, come and take this man away.” Enter guards, stage right. Three surround Arthur, and five remove the left tenet. Power to no one!

THE FOLLOWING editorial appeared a short while ago in the Toronto Globe & Ma,il. Juxtaposed with it is an arti& written by american oolitical Yippie, Abbie Hoffman, recently convicted in the infamous Chicago conspiracy ‘trial. How long, we may wonder, will it be before the milque-toasts in the Globe & Mail Colonial Office realize the futility Df the drivel they have been writing and the irrelevance of the nonsense to which they attach moral importance.

A pledge to what? Royalists should not be seriously-ex-

ercised by the refusal of elected mem- bers, of the Parti Quebecois to swear an oath of allegiance to the Queen as a prelude to assuming their seats in the Quebec National Assembly. The role of the Queen is never more symbolic than in an oath. There the throne signifies the peak of the Canadian pyramid, the em- bodimeht of the Canadian people, to- ward which citizens look when they swear to serve that people well.

The PQ members do not believe that the Queen should represent the people’s

. domain in Canada, so they say that they Will not swear by her; and Premier Robert Bourassa is looking for a means to avoid insisting that they shall.

But can the PQ members, who are pledged to separate Quebec from Can- ada, swear-allegiance to the domain it- self, any more than they can to the Queen. That domain is now a commtin-

ity of ten provinces, with a central Gov- ernment in 0ttaw.a and many manifesta- tions throughout the province of Quebec of that central authority. Can the PQ members swear an honest oath of alle- giance to the n Canadian domain when their hearts and wills are dedicated only to the Quebec piece of it?

If they reject Canada as manifested in the Queen’s name in an oath admitting them to the Assembly, can they accept that Canada in the federal mail, the fed- eral courts, the federal signature on family allowance cheques, old-age pen- sion cheques, housing development ,’ cheques? The works?

If they reject the symbol but accept the reality then they are only making a gesture. But to go beyond gesture would exclude] them from the Assembly. Surely. they will have to work within the exist- ing Canadian context, regardless of their goals.
