Although the Dare management publicly stated that it had decided to rescind the services of CDP, it got further support in moves to break the strike from the Supreme Court of Ontario. Two injunctions were handed down on June 12 and 14 which limited the number of pickets and picket lines. During the next few weeks a number of strikers were arrested for violating the court orders and “obstructing police” who again gave active assistance to Dare by acting as bodyguards. for. scab workers entering the plant.

After a five-week rest the Campus Centre Board finally 3 managed to meet .and accomplish a few things. Thursday, August 2, Chairman Fred Bunting called to order a meeting of four ’ voting

.- members of the CCB and they _ attempted to clear away the debris of the last board .meeting. ’

The first- problem was the conflict of interest issue. At the .

’ last meeting every member of the board was challenged with a conflict of interest and so there was no-way for anyone to decide who, in fact, did have a conflict of interest. Bunting presented his - idea of what might have been the - solution-giving the chairman power to strike a committee . to decide any conflict of interest issues. At first look this seemed quite reasonable but then Dennis Perkins of security put forth. the idea that there was no need for any conflict of interest policy at all.

Perkins said “I cannot see any need for it here”,%ince everyone on the‘ board as well as everyone connected with the board has their own biases and therefore has a conflict of interest. Following his lead, the board voted unanimously - to rescind the conflict of interest

. policy.

Next CCB heard the Activities Co-ordina tor ‘s report. Susan Phillips explained some of her ideas with the space allocations committee and then with the hiring of new turnkeys for the fall term; The SAC meeting was scheduled for Tuesday August 8. Hiring of new-turnkeys will begin the last week of August and continue into ’ the first two weeks of September.

-

Another method for solving the CCB problem of stacked meetings was -sought in the attendance requirements for representatives. There is a policy in the CCB policy book that states that no member ’ ’ may miss two consecutive _ -_ , meetings without written excuse. A bye-election would be called in thiscase. However, this policy has never been enforced and CCB hopes that in future thay can use thispolicy to -keep the meetings balanced against any s particular faction that may want to control l the meetings.

Plans are underway for a reg- ’ ular schedule of meetings rather than the, haphazard calling of ,

meetings at the chairman’s . discretion. Beginning in the fall, meetings will be called every. two weeks and an attempt will be made to schedule them around the reps’ work schedules. -.

fQlkS In these times of liberalism and

love and peace whateverness, the majority of people like to belikve

, that they are liberated‘ ‘and ac- cepting, They scoff and scorn at organized groups aiming at’ liberation. Well people, liberated types are concerned about the discrimination and ignorance happening, in the rest of the world

_ and, let’s-face it, the majority of people prefer to be liberal in thought and reactionary in practice.

So there’s a gay liberation movement on campus. Faggots, freaks, and dykes getting together, right? Scratch that hallucination and enter reality. First off, gay liberation deals with hassles that gay people may have but it also does edudationals, raps, and social type things. Straight (hetero- sexual ) people come to the meetings as well. It is not assumed that everyone’ that comes through the door is a ‘raging queen’. A lot of things are going on in the campus centre at 8pmj Monday nights, so no one bothers sitting down and taking inventory of every person who’ walks through the building to rm. 118.

People who are uptight about attending a meeting -have a number of options open to them. (1) Bring. a friend. Although protection is far from necessary, it is sometimes easier to cope with situations with the help of someone youknow. (2) Phone the office (ext 2372) or drop in and visit (campus centre 217~). Meeting a few people beforehand could put you at ease and also give you a chance to see our library which has a number of informative and interesting books. If you want counselling help, we can arrange an appointment for you right away or if you prefer. just to rap with some gay people, we

- can easily come up with some. (8) Write to, us (GLM, Fed. .of Students, CampusCentre, U of W). If you are unable to get it together enough to phone or visit, then it is quite easy for us to answer your

,question or send information. We ‘will need your address and name for this ; everything is confidentiial of course, and comes in a plain envelope.. (4) .Pick up a newsletter beside the turnkeys’ desk in the C.C. Gemini II comes out on a monthly basis and lists the’coming events and has other pertinent data that could be useful. We will gladly send.it to-anyone who asks. (5) If all else fails, then hope that a panel of gays appears in one of your classes. We have been doing

* educationals for almost t.hree years now and are getting good response from them.

A lot of people wonder why there is a gay lib movement .at all. It is now legal to be a homosexual if you are over 21- “What more do they want?“‘ Since over 50 percent of the population has at one time had at i&t one homosexual ex- perience; and since 18 per cent of

administrative position. Klemmer has no rigid

philosophy under which it operates because, as Harding explained, policy and ideas of how it should be run fluctuate with whoever is involved. Klemmer is not nearly as rigid or structured as other day care centres, but it is not totally permissive either, she said.

The staff includes a fully ac- credited child care worker, a full time person who is a university graduate and a cook who is a university student.

Klemmer has been located in the renovated farmhouse ’ since February. The federation of students leases the house from university administration and has also agreed to bear all legal and financial responsibilities for the centre. In exchange, those running the centre agreed that it would be operated - co,-operatively and democratically’ and that it would provide reduced rates for un- dergraduate parehts. -

The day care centre began in June 1972 and first operated at St. Jerome’s College. It then moved to the campus centre and lost some enrollment because of ,the cramped conditions.

Fully licenced under the Day Nurseries Act, it can take a maximum of 25 children and will accept both full-time and part-time enrollment .

Although KlemmeFFarmhouse is not ‘eligible for financial assistance under the current act regarding day care centres (that act applies only to municipalities), people at the centre hope they will receive aid under’ a new act covering campus co-operatives, . and are submitting a brief to the government.

A - new direction I

Renison College Social Science Applied is goingto be the scene of an interesting experiment this fall. Itis ail the result of tlie -work of four young -professors that want t0 involve their students in the things that are happening around them.

Renison College is. a church college that is affiliated with the University of Waterloo, in that courses can be taken at either institution and the credits canbe transfered to either degree. Three of the professors involved-Jeffrey Forest and Marlene Webber afi filiated with Renison Social Science, and Marsha Forest from Human Relations’ at Waterloo-are new to the area. Hugh Miller-has been here for a few years and works out of. the Renison Social Science depart- ment. -The experiment involves the

introductory courses in psychology, sociology and social work, now known as Renison’s Integrated 120’s. Normally the three different courses would be scheduled for three different time periods with three different professors. The Integrated 129’s will put these three courses into one package for which the student will still receive three credits.

The advantage of this system is that periods of time will be able to be blocked out in order for students to get involved in the projects that they will be handling under this course. Hopefully whole afternoons, evenings or days will be arranged for the group rather than the one hour spots three times a week.

These people are interested in breaking down the barriers bet- ween faculty and students and faculty and administration. Over such a period of time the people involved should be able to -get to know each other really well and in turn get to know their’ subject matter that much better. This will be a unique - experience for everyone involved to combine relevant scholarship. and research with meaningful action and in- volvement?+ People will have the time to see how the classroom relates to the world around them and maybe even. do something about the things they find in- tolerable. It will be a good’ op- portunity for students to bring the university closer to the community that surrounds it.

If you want more information or just are interested in the ideas; you can call 884-4460. During the first week .of September the professors involved will be. available for discussion onThursday the 6th and Friday the 7th, from ten in. the morning till four at night. _-

_ crisis. The motions passed or defeated depend upon how many of each of the warring sides turns out to the meeting. Council clearly showed its indecisiveness - at the

I meeting of August 7 where it * reversed a decision made at the _ previous meeting of July 31. The only difference being the majority vote had changed from one side to. the other. ’

The federation council now is in council and this time they decided that, indeed, they - needed somebody to fill that seat

Telegdi - refused to answer -Roberts’ questioning, during the question period, about the un- signed contract between the federation and Dumont Press Graphix-the people that typeset 1 the Chevron. According to Telegdi the contract had been waiting three months to be approved by the Board of Directors-however, at least two members of the board had no knowledge of it, and Telegdj !has finally signed it. *

Telegdi also’ reported that Dobney’s resignation was i-m- minent because of harassment

_ “by certain individuals”.

It all began with the exec-- ‘utive assistant, ’ Doug Dobney’s : resignation. Andy Telegdi asked council for assistance in the hiring offa new person to fill the vacncy.

, After some discussion it became clear that the term of office was

. only until- the end of September and that the majority of council did not feel that the position really needed to be filled. Council voted on July 31 to leave the place open, and rather than hire more fulltime staff council voted to do the work

We were also informed that the Senate decision to defer the Sabbatical leave issue to com- mittee was a’ result of Telegdi addressing them and asking for a reconsideration.

Perhaps they should start selling tickets.

In reaction to this surprise some other members-’ bf the executive. called for ..,an ‘anti-council’ .meeting. External relations _ chairman Shane Roberts and communications chairman David Assman, alongwith,environmental studies rep El~za Moore called Telegdi’s move an *action “that makes a sham of legitimate council proceedings”.

They urged everyone that voted against the ?original motion-attend the ‘anti-council’ meeting that was scheduled one hour earlier than

. the ‘regular’ council meeting. And so it rested until the evening

of August 7 when the whole thing fell apart or came together- depending upon which side you’re on. Telegdi got the motion to hire :an Executive Assistant passed through council.

Radio Waterloo made an appeal for permission to seek a 15 thousand dollar loan from the university that. would be paid back in ten years. The matter had been considered‘ at the executive meeting and went through council with little trouble. -- -

The causes of the lengthy council meeting were the Ontario Federation of Students resolutions that, needed ratification by the council. The federation first disccussed, how the resolutions should be dealt with and then they eventually got around to

‘discussing them. With a ten minute ’ break in the middle and a lot more

discussion- as to the best way to handle all these resolutions they only settled thirteen out of thirty- four. They plan to do it all by in-- stallments at the next four council meetings. \

The first resolution was a con- I demnation of the government’s

education cutbacks and their use of the COPSE report. It was the second- resolution that brought the most trouble, the OFS budget. It calls for a fee hike from 25 cents a student to 40 cents a student. This would mean that Waterloo would be paying 4666 dollars annually for its membership in the organization.

External Affairs chairman Shane Roberts had already budgeted for this increase and was fully prepared to handle it. He’ informed council of its ability to absorb ‘the costs. In fact he repeated this information several times when council members that were not paying attention asked again and again. Then to top off the evening, Telegdi asked the same question, only he bypassed Roberts and instead asked - -_

, budget .as recommended. They also recommended that OFS recognize the, equal abilities of men and women when they are hiring staff. Day care centres will be available atconferences in the future, at least, so moved the

, ~Waterloocouncil~ A motion urging the government

to aid. co-op housing was also, , passed, along with another motion urging that community colleges be - permitted to build student housing on their campuses.

The last two motions passed by council ran ’ from the right of students to run ‘course evaluations to the legality of pin-ball machines. Both were endorsed by our council.

After ail that council moved to go into retreat. September @/to 36 they. plan to get asway for the weekend in much the same way that they did .early in the summer. At least this time around they agreed they would schedule the inactivity.

. The old photo equipment in the ’ photo co-op will be sold in Sep-

tember either-in *a public auction or by private tender. That decision has not yet been made.

- The federation is also writing to their various, members of parliament to urge them to have

the human rights code ammended. ,The federation wants students included as a minority group. Students are discriminated . against with regards - & housing : and there is no legal recourse open to them at this time.

-The Board of Education budget proposal’ regarding the co- sponsorship of programs was accepted. Following that move the I Engineering society request -for 1,766 *dollars for their handbook passed. The Math society got 1,096 dollars for their anti-calendar out.. of the deal too.. .

Thankfully the meeting soon thereafter adjourned-at twelve forty-five on August 1, 1973. j-- - _.

Allow me to tell you a story. about which _ I had rio control but which happened / anyway-Radio Waterloo. Years ago it was the duty of ihe alumni of most ’ established , Canadian universities to fund a. radio station in campus.

At Queen’s, campus radio was .an engineering project and has been- used as a pr,ot@ype --for many other Q-an- smitters. Unfortunately, the yankee- FCC (Federal Ctimmunicatioris Cgmmiss’ioir) and the DOC (Dept.’ of Communications) of the canucks’ gradual.ly cbnstricted usage bf the facilities to sporadic broadcasts much. like that of a cit.izen’s broadcaster *who> ii a garage mechanic the rest cjf the

‘time’. The programming doesn’t go ’ much farther. r- -

pansive am stations (from Baden Hill to. Dartmouth) to perform hypnotic audib rites on caTpus; ’

M,.ust ha& -<-‘been quite hypnotic because RadWai is now broadcasting on Grand River Cable Ltd. at 94.1 on the listener’s fm dial. Shortly,they,will even be reaching people “on Wired World

‘(6.03.7 CKW.R-FM)-an off-campus radio .station.

Radio Waterloo was established in ’ November 1966 by the- University of Waterloo Broadcasting Association. At ,

\that time it. was a student-operated closed-circuit broadcast outlet housed in the Engineering 2 buildirlg. It was fed to lounges and common rooms at. both the University of Waterloo and Waterloo Lutheran University. -’

Radio< Waterloo expanded slowly ‘(with till the equipment being designed

and- built by students),_ jrom a small room in- Engiqeering 2, to temporary qua,rters in the Campus Centre, until ‘it finally found its way; to the Bauer Warehouse in October 1969.

Since then there has been an GVer- whelming demand for the- use of the facilities at Radib Waterloo. It appears that the number-of people -who have become involved with the station- has increased exponentially -in rel#?n to the growth of the ‘Q’niversity coti+ munity.

This--fall Radio Wateiloo is to un- dergo yet another expansion. An extra 500 square feet of the warehouse. have been’alloi=ated and its present space is being renovated. , c

-Part of the reas-on fqr the increasing demand is ,related f-p the fact that radio provides. a different outlet-an in- teresting and often fascinating outlet for peopl,e’s creative ,energies. People use radio simultaheously aS a tool for self-expression and .as a means of communicating their ideas to the community.

Another% reason for the increasing -demand for studio time is that ‘people

have shown an.overwhelming interest in producing, taped material that serves simultaneously as an- educational aid

, and as broadcast material. Already, edu_cational- tapes produced at Radio Water%o have ’ been., t&ed :’ both I ‘, f0-q

The Stratford Festival Company is of- fering Nikolai Gogol’s The Marriage x7 Brokers at The Avon- Theatre through Sept. 1. The selection of Gogol and Ivan ’ Turyenev, two nineteenth century Russian playwrights is in part a tribute to the Russians who were. hosts of the Canadian company in. Moscow- last winter. While Gogol is perhaps Russia’s greatest comic ’ writer, his claim to fame does not rest on his !work for the theatre. Of that, The In-

Live rm& jarLdover rock,deadrock .-

Those ’ who view Leon fiussell’s contributionsto Mad Dogs & English- men and The Concert. for Bangladesh with an approving eye will find some grounds for interest in Leon- Live (Capitol STCO-8917), a 3-Lp album which again demonstrates that the Oklahoma Kid is a masterful showman. A masterful singer he isn’t, however, and Live’s rather poor recorded quality also makes it difficult to enjoy such exce,llent supporting musicians as- Don Preston and Carl Radle. The test case will probably be your reaction to the 16 minute “Jumping Jack Flash/Young- blood Medley”, where Russell delivers a

. seemingly interminable monologue on ‘his relationship with his old lady; the music is fine, once it happens but

‘getting there requires a high tolerance *for the most banal sort of ego-tripping.

Even more disappointing is Carole ___- __ --- Km Fantasy (Ode SPO18), -which is the first of her albums to give me more pain than pleasure. The culprit is partially the arrangements, much more saccharine and overblown than those of her previous releases, but the generally abysmal quality of the all-original songs is also disturbing. Ms. King is still .a fine vocalist, and manages to rescue two or three of the songs with excellent performing efforts; but no amount of eff~ort could put over crap such as “Believe in Humanity:“, _,

I know it’s often true- sad to say We have been unkind to one another Tell me how many times has the golden rule Been applied by man to his brother I believe if I really looked at what’s going 0.n ( I’would lose faith I never could recover

This brand of touchy-feely pablum needs no encouragement from Carole King, and ‘one can only hope that Fantasy is merely a temporary aberration stemming from the onset of a degree of social consciousness.

After wading through the above, the unpretentious cha,rms of Fairport Convention’s Rosie (A&M SP 4386) are thoroughly refreshing.’ The Fairporters distinctive blendt ,of electric folk and “Olde Englishe” sensibilities never offends the ear, and their good humour and unabashedly melodic music make for good listening with a pint of bitter or two; and their first reasonably stable personnel line-up in many a moon is also paying dividends. .

’ Old groups never say die, they just get anthologized to death by I‘Greatest, Hits” albums. Quicksi&?r/Antho/ogy (Capitol SVBB-I 1165) is a double album of some ofi the highlights of the Messenger Service’s stormy career (“The Fool”,. , :‘Mona”, “Fresh Air”), during which they changed from West Coast Psychedelic band to Nicky Hopkins and Friends, and then un- fortunately fell under the spell of Dino Valenti, one of the few vocalists who could make Nick Gravenites sound good. Their one ,masterpiece, the “Who IJo You Love” variations on Happy Trails, is not here, however, and this makes the.album of more musicological interest than muxical interest, recommended’ only if you’ have an all- consuming curiousity about the development of an at best second-rank group. - -Old groups never die, they just have

ancient live performances resurrected and released, by greedy record com- panies. History .of .the Grateful Dead, Vol. I (Warner Brothers BS 2721) is from ,a 1970 concert, and includes one side of

This is is basically a pleasant, but in no sense cosmic, album on a par with Live Dead, one to be considered after you have acquired such real gems as American Beauty and Workingman’s Dead.

On the

Side of the Sky (Atlantic SD 7265) is recommend it. Quincy Jones’ production is superlative, the .material is somewhat more wideranging than is usual on her albums, and if you don’t like this brie there’s something wrong with your mosquiter’s tweeter.

The growing popularity- of The Temptations among White- audiences should be assisted by both,;of their most recent releases, A/l+ Dvections (TamlalMotown G962L) and Master- piece (Tamla,/ Motown G965L). The Temps have developed a very suc- cessful formula for their albums, consisting of standard, AM-oriented Motown material (although much better sung and more imaginatively produced than most’ of it) played off against extended works such as “Papa Was a Rolling Stone”, miniature soul sym- phonies which combinenarrative drama .

with jazz improvisation. “Papa.. .” is a favourite of such certified’ members of the.youth cultu.re as Chevron graphfreak artist .Tom McDonald, which should be enough to drive even honkey blues aficionados to try it; and I suspect that they’ll like it.

Another, Motown group, Smokey Robinson and The Miracles, have parted’ company. ’ recently, but are commemmorated by 7957/7972 (Tamla 3200). .This is a live double album from a farewell concert at which they per- formed excellent versions of several of their past successes (“The Tears of a Clown”, “Bad Girl”, “Going to a Go- Go”). and - will be a necessary acquisition for those who enjoyed the work of this incredibly sweet-voiced quartet. 1

The Miracles, minus Smokey Robinson, have attempted to ‘keep it going with Renaissance (Talma T325L), but this .Lp seems more of a requiem than anything else. New Lead singer William Griffin’s falsetto vocals ap- proximate Smokey’s reasonably well, but the material and arrangements here are so relentlessly- lame’that it may be unfair to judge The Miracles’ continuing viability from this album alone. The vocal harmonizing is still fine, but,,

’ something besides the harps.ichord and strings backing, typical of a -.Motown “class production” will be ‘required if there are to do more than provide soul music for Holiday Inn types.

Last j but definitely not least -is an album of reggae music from the soundtrack.of the film The Harder They Come (Mango SMAS-7400). Reggae is a simple but emotionally powerful music which .directly expresses the

#aspirations of the Jamaican working class, and comes as a breath of fresh air in a climate .where popular music, soul or otherwise, is often either self- consciously militaht or unconsciously mindless.- And featured singer Jimmy Cliff is very fine, certainly deserving a

( solo album in the near future. Again, reggae is a simple’, almost folkish music, perhaps too much so for putatively sophisticated university stu- dents, ‘but well worth the attention of those with more catholic tastes.

-- / Jazz; musiti to be

/

“Getting into jazz” seems to be one of ‘those things that people are ‘always promising themselves they”lk do. Not too many accomplish this, apparently, since most jazz artists are, still starving in comparison to their rock coun- terparts, and I don’t find this too surprising: as is the case with classical music, jazz requires a certain amount of dedicated{ listening before it can be comprehended, and it is probably unrealistic to expect this of a generation largely illiterate in its native language. F,or the more adventurous, however, there is lots of good ‘jazz about, as follows.

The Jazz Years (Atlantic ,SD2-316) is not a bad survey of the more com-

.mercially successful developments in jazz from 1948-I-973, with the qualification required because of Atlantic’s failure to support the avant- garde artists of this period. The earlier material is quite excellent, and includes fine examples of the work of such neglected talents as Lennie Tristano, Jimmy Giuffre; aned Mose Allison; the later stuff is more variable, with too much attention paid to such musical pipsqueaks as Herbie Mann and the Mitchell-Ruff Trio, but the album is still recommended to those who are totally at sea as to where to begin to listen to jazz. 1’

The work of Duke Ellington should be equally accessible, not least. because much of it has been assimilated into popular music, and- his The Great Pairis Concert (Atlantic SD2-364) is also a nice way to ease into some different musical experiences. Ellington is a cblorist, whose orchestra has been an organic unity for so long that he has been able, to experiment with a range of in- strumental voicings well beyond that of “bands” which exist only for recording_ sessions, and to hear his music on decent stereo equipment is equivalent to attend&g an exhibition .,of French Impressionist painters: colors sharp in one area flow softly together in another, all unified by an encompassing haze which illuminates but does not spotlight. There’s still plenty, of fire and- funk, mind you, but the emphasis is on whole cloths rather than brilliant in- dividual efforts. .

A similarly talented, if musically somewhat more avant-garde, composer and performer is presented on Char/es Mingus and F-Fiends in Concert (Columbia KG 31614). This is a tribute to Mingus organized by his jazz ’ colleagues, many of whom play on the album, and the music (all Mingus tunes) is appropriately jam session-ish an

f spontaneous: several excel lent

so OS, a good,time had by all, but probably a bit too t‘inside” ‘for the novice jazz fan.. Mingus is somewhere close to being a genius, however, and just about anything.wit.h his name on it is worth checking into.

Rahsaan Rol,and Kirk is a blind saxophonist who kn.ocks me out live and)does very little<for me on record, for reasons which Prepare Thyself to Deal With a Miracle (Atlantic SD 1640) seems to exemplify. Kirk has pretensions to become some sort of ultimate syn- thesis of all that is valid in con- temporary music, jazz or otherwise, -and he simply does not possess the compositional or orchestrational skills, to make even a reasonable stab at such a lofty aim. He., has been a very tasty jazz improvisor in the past, however, and one can only hope that he will eventually return to that which. he does best. ’

of,France in America until shortly after the fall of Quebec. The dif- ference may seem slight but it is not unimportant. Eccles ties in well the development of Canada and the other colonies with the economic and m_ilitary im- peratives of its motherland. At the same time he achieves a fine in- sight into the growth of the French Canadian culture, as one vastly different from the mother and in many ways better; this he does without becoming mesmerized by ’ the romance of it all.

It is ironic for many of-those who look to history to foster their 1 patriotism that,much of the history being written now is not terribly sympathetic with their dream of the unblemished homeland. Some of it, in fact, is embarassing to the reader. Bergeron’s “Petit Histoire du Quebec”, for, example, represents the details of a series of. ugly incidents $depicting the ac- tivities of several groups of people performing countless dehumanizing things to a pitiable race who could never quite decide how to stop these tyrants and so never did. The reader comes ,away feeling guilty for the ;attempted genocide of the Quebecois and

*feeling also the foolishness of their inability to,,act effectively. It is an incredibly strong book that Ideals with reality explosively.

Even “MacLeans”, which tends to define Canada/s goodness in terms of everyone else’s evil (in particular the U.S.‘s) recently brought up several points which were always dashed over in high school “history-incidents such as the Winnipeg General Strike, people like Louis Riel- recalcitrant events in the other- wise smooth road to freedom. “MacLeans” questions these points , but in the end apotheosizes them as courageous interludes on the path to glory. “MacLeans”

The colony in *many ways developed independently from France in or& to survive geographical and climactic dif- ferepces; however, it remained too subject to the economic whims of France to move very far abroad. It was not until two hundred years after France’s initial entry onto the continent that Canada came

’ close to being self-sufficient. During that time, and for a hun- dred and twenty years afterwards, France was continually at war with England.

Wars then, unlike today, had the effect of crippling an economy,‘ making it necessary to interrupt the conflict with a series of truces in order to build up the sagging treasuries. The colonies prospered during the rebuilding stages and stagnated during the .wars. *

Though they may have been going through economic hardship, ’ the colonies were developing autonomously. Canada, in par- , tic’ular, developed a sane society with only small class differences and a ’ very _ efficient legislative structure. It was with some,horror that I read of the arrival of the English and the subsequent establishment of ‘democracy’ upon the ‘uncivilized habitants’.

The explanation for the limited , vertical structure *of the colony was an economic one. While French imperialism was reaping. vast profits from the fur trade and the fishing industry it was only in France that these were being realized. Generally, the Canadian economy was one of subsistence

well. After the’ fall of Quebec, however, the ‘habitants’ were restricted in their movements by the English, leaving the Mississippi valley open to the waves of Americans who crossed the Appalachians driving out, the!‘% French, Spanish and Indians.

The fall of Quebec seemed to be a mistake. The English .weren’t really capable of taking the for- - tress but profited from the guidance of General Montcalm. Montcalm who had recently arrived from France wasn’t at all fond of the casualness of the military heirarchy , in particular, the ,-dependency ‘. the French garrison seemed to have upon the habitants. Unlike t,he French soldiers who had:a fondness for a ‘dignified warfare’ characterized by advancing columns of ex- pendible pawns, the habitants had adopted the Indian guerilla tactics:

Montcalm miscalculated the English tactics and sent half his troops (the habitants ). twenty miles down river. Wolfe landed . and met the French regulars on the Plains of Abraham. The English were defeated and Wolfe’ was killed. Montcalm, too, was I killed, but before he died, in the,. middle.of the battle, he mistakenly. assessed the battle as lost .and had surrender papers drawn ‘up. He then instructed them to be delivered and died. The papers were presented to the retreating English army, who subsequently turned around $and took the city.

. The habitants returned to. find the city lost. Knowing the English! had no supplies for the winter, they’ ’ left for the woods to wait for spring and French reinforcements. The French boats never came. French officials, thinking it lost, conceded the land to England. The end of another long war. Hope was ex- pressed that perhaps the French would fare better in the next one.

The Quebecois, on seeing that France had given up, gave up also

Anatomy oL Big \Business, Libbie and Frank Park, Tor?nto, James, lewi: and Samuel,. 1973.

Originally published in 1962, Anatomy of Big Business remains a significant and authoritative study of capitalism in Canada. It is not so much the proposed strategy of nationalization as the initial tactic to halt “the sale of Canada” which is the ~ book’s underlying strength.. It is the amount of research ‘into the intricacies of capitalism in Canada worked into a cogent argument which makes this study profoundly important.

Central-to the problem of economic, development in Canada is _ the fact that this country’s means of production are dominated by US corporate in- teres ts. American capital has ’ come to control the economy because a “small group of big shots” (read Canadian capitalists) have’ placed the interests of Canada second’to their interests as “junior partners” in the exploita- tion of resources, therefore, of its working people.

Because of the enormous. financial benefits reaped from being lesser allies, Canadian capitalists have accepted the desirability and the inevitability of Canada’s integration with the US. As an immediate solution to this country’s economic ills, the< writers propose that American- controlled industries be nationalized. The Parks have indicated through well- documented research that the

strategy of nationalization is both economically feasible and correct at this point in time.

Unquestionably the most significant -aspects of the Parks’ research are one, it explains how Canadian financial groups maintain control of economic enterprises through their domination of financial institutions and two, it clearly points out how Canadian capital is dependent and subordinate “to, the drive of US groups for their own profit.” The key to comprehending the very~ nature of capitalism in Canada is : to- understand the interlocking directorates between the. central banks and large enterprises, in- vestment trusts and insurance companies, _ both foreign and national. It is by means of in- terlocking directorates that a small I group of. Canadian “tycoons”, subordinate to the more powerful American I’ capitalists, dominate Canada’s economic base.

Although tangential to the main i thrust of the book, the section on the role of Canadian capital abroad brings to the fore an easily overlooked feature of this. coun- try’s development. The authors make the reader aware of the exploitative role that the Canadian government, banks and individual capitalists have played or continue to perform in the Caribbean, Latin * America, and various African and Asian slates.

Anatomy’ of Big Business presents the reader with ,a, clear and well-documented insight into the corporate structure , of the Canadian economy. The book goes far to unveil the mysteries which. surround those who possess economic power and wield the political club. The Parks’ con- tribution to the study of capitalism in Canada will no doubt continue to weather the rigorous test of time.

abour in the motor industry is holds them changes its angre rather an increasingly happy hunting clumsily, ready for the next weld. The ground for agitators. InBritain ’ robot’s actions are jerky, compared

output in the last quarter was 60,000. -cars below last years. But it is not just

Britain. Fiat lost’270,OOO cars through strikes in. Italy in 1969, and 100,000 last year. Where strikes are banned,as

~ they are in Russia, the workers merely go sick; absenteeism in the plant built by Fiat for the Russians hasgone to 30 per cent, and reaches its peak, as one might have expected, on Mondays and Fridays.

Managements in the motor industry , have been told by politicians and

sociologists that it is their duty to make life in the factories merry and diver- ting, in order to relieve the monotony of the job and so make their workers sweeter-tempered, and to do them credit, many have tried to follow this advice. The schemes they have

> thought up range from a factory, radio - station (at Dagenham) to full air- , conditioning (at Fiat’s Cassino plant).

But more and more managements see these only as - palliatives and one lasting cure‘ as managing without so many men.

The Japanese are going for the ultimate solution:. a factory of robots where the only men would -be main- tenance engineers. The government is backing studies for an eight year development programme- to see

w-hether at not this can be done. The speclficatipn is for an assembly line to

,J make gear-boxes on a scale that would normally employ 200-300 workers, but operated entirely by robots. The Ministry of International Trade and Industry is directing the initial design studies, which should be finished early next year. The electronics and machine

. tool industries and the universities are .involved: Assuming that the plan looks feasible, the- fight will then begin to

get the.government to put up, the 50 million or so poundsstirling, plus a contribution from industry, that the robot line is expected to cost.

Even a snort while ago, large , segments of the motor industry would

have said this was a wholly impractical * project. But F(at is now already half-.

way there, and so is part of-the General Motors factory at Lordstown, in Ohio.

- Fiat’s moment of decision-came when it was crippled by strikes in 1969, and the speed with which it has moved has

’ taken-even the unions by surprise. It is n.ow op.erating two separate production lines -with robots imported from America. In one plant, 18 robots, replacing 20 men, weld more than 500 points. Each has a,n automatic arm with two claws on the end. The claws hiss and splutter, and every few seconds a weld is, made. The claws pull back’ a few inches and the hand that

with a human arm, but the reject rate is only-l-2 per cent. The cost of the 18 robots was 500,000 pounds, and they will take nearly 10 years to pay for themselves., but cost is not really the issue. The robots work in a section of the plant that was most afflicted by strikes and absenteeism and Fiat could forsee-a time when it would simply not be able to attract men to this type of work at all.

The other Fiat automatic line uses a single robot to carry out 430 welds a minute. Here the car shell moves into a big steel box where it is attacked by hundreds-of robot fists, like the ten- tacles of an octopus. This is a mor.e expensive installation; it costs 7$IO,OOO pounds but is expected to pay for itself in 5-6 years. The factory in

-which it has been installed is a new one, at Cassino, where .most of the 4,000 men working there are having their first experience of factory life and are not likely to object to half the welding is done automatically, and the few men around theplant earn nearly 3 pounds Stirling an hour. General Motors has had strikes at Lordstown, but they had little to do with automation. c

Fiat has given a try to the Volvo-Saab solution for labour relations. It has tackled working conditions, sub- stituting paints in powder form for solvents, allowing more work breaks, and introducing an element of variety into jobs, but absenteeism is still around 12 per cent. What has gone down is the number of strikes-only 10,000 cars-lost -in the first quarter of

thds year, compared with an average of 25,000 a quarter last year. Renault is now trying the same cure.

In another effort to buy-peace, Fiat is getting rid of the assembly line altogether in some places and sub- stituting island work sites instead. These cost twice as <much as an assembly line and put up plant in- vestment costs by one-fifth. It is a characteristic of all these attempts to improve- the industry’s labour record that they are. expensive. A perfectly sound financial argument can be made for saying that, it is cheaper simply-to pay the workers that little bit more each time they cut up rough, Certainly the profit record of British Leyl,and, which has. followed this policy more from . force of circumstance than deliberate choice, is better than -Fiat’s. Its investment record- is much worse. Fiat’s planned investment in southern

’ Italy alone is twothirds of the 500 million pounds that British Leyland plans to spend’ throughout its who!e group. And the reason why British

Leyland is not spending more is that it machine tools has a line of eight lathes cannot see an adequate return to already linked jnto a computer and has shareholders from any large sum. Fiat, nearly completed a robot that will shift in a lesssophisticatedcapital market, the work from one machine to another. operates under a different set of Another manufacturer, with an constraints: return on capital is one of agreement with Tube Investments, has the lesser of them.

But this cannot be said of the --- a group of machines which automatically produce a range of’

Japanese, and if there is one common ground shafts. In the motor industry characteristc of Japanese industry it is , itself Toyota has a section where 24 the steady move towards greater reliance on robots. One of the ba.lI- .

-from the economist

L ike the negotiations of the past, the 1973 union negotiations with the Big 3

auto companies are more of a show than negotiations.

The guidelines have already been set in rubber, trucking and the electrical industries. The Big 3 have held their secret meetings and have made a decision as to how much they are going to grant the United Auto Workers (UAW) in fringe benefits and wage increases. UAW president Leonard Woodcock and vice presidents Irving Bluestone, Ken Bannon and Douglas Fraser may already have had secret meetings -with top management and agreed on a package.

Their discussions now are largely devoted to what they refer to as “non economic” demands. Shall a worker be judged guilty before the grievance procedure is exhausted? What will happen around the questions of compulsory overtime, joint union- management health and safety committees and the value to be placed on each fringe benefit?

With the important decisions having been made behind the backs of the workers, there is still need for a show. Important negotiations seemingly continue at the General Motors building in Detroit, at the Ford Glass building in Dearborn and at Chrysler’s main offices in Highland Park. These “TV” shows are held mainly to let Woodcock demonstrate his labour statesmanship and for Bluestone, Bannon and Fraser to exhibit their bargaining -skills.

Woodcock has assured the auto barons they don’t have to fear a strike, thus disarming the workers.

At the UAW Collective Bargaining Convention in March 1973 the tone for the negotiations was set. The Collective Bargaining Resolution said, “Because we are not wedded to one-or another narrow approach but are willing to consider a wide range of alternate solutions, it is not necessary for us to present our proposals in the form of rigid inflexible demands...We will not-go to the bargaining table in 1973 looking for a fight but for a fair share of that increased abun- dance...We ask no more than our fair share and because we seek only our equity our approach to negotiations is non-inflationary...”

This is the same script that has been used time and again. The unions’ demands being flexible, the employers will make the most of that flexibility. By the use of generalities, the UAW leadership avoids -the danger of committing itself too firmly to a set of demands. They can compromise without fearing a revolt in the ranks.

The reference to their demands being non-inflationary is backhanded support to the idea that it is high wages that cause inflation.

In 1973 the economic facts are heavily weighted in favour of the union. Big 3 profits in 1972 and the first six months of 1973 have been the highest

in their history. There is a runaway inflation in the cost of living and the companies have already asked for a price increase. Ford and GM have granted their white collar workers more in wage increases than their UAW members have been receiving.

General Motors, the pace setter in the industry and the one who calls the tune in negotiations, has opened with a powerful publicity campaign in support of its position of a 55 percent first-year wage package.- It has mailed to all its employees a pamphlet stating that it pays an average wage of $5 per hour, with an additional $3 in fringe benefits. This; they say, adds up to $241.60 per week or $12,000 per year.

If we are to accept these figures at face value (disputed by the UAW), we must remember that upwards of $1,500 is taken by the city, state and federal income taxes; over $600 is taken for Social Security and $120 a year in union dues. This leaves the worker with less than the amount the government says is needed for a medium standard of living. Without overtime the worker’s income would be further reduced.

A revised cost-of-living allowance (COLA) is unquestionably the most important demand the union is making. In 1964 the UAW stated, “Correction of the faulty arithmetic and technical defects in the cost-of- living formula is essential if GM workersand their families are to enjoy the high and steady rising living standards which reflects the full productivity of our national economy and are necessary if the economy is to achieve its full potential...”

This “faulty arithmetic” has con- tinued to the present day. In the COLA formula, the UAW says during the 1970 contract the workers should have recived 44 cents per hour rather than the 35 cents they did receive. The union is not demanding’ that this shortage be made up. A compromise on this issue might give the worker the increased COLA in 1974 or 1975.

There should be little dispute over granting dental care. This has already been won in some UAW contracts. Here too a compromise will cost the companies little in the first year of the con tract.

PENSION PLAN In 1949 when the UAW negotiated

its first pension plan, the late UAW -president Walter Reuther emphasized the necessity of having pension funds “actuarially sound”, meaning that a pension plan should be fully funded so that a company going out of business would be able to pay every employee his share in the fund. This is sound reasoning for the small companies who might be forced out of business but for the Big 3 this was just an excuse to pay small pensions during the first 15 years of the pension plan. It was not until 1965 that pensions went above $100 per month for those with 25 years or more of service.

--

- . ..bUt neithe,r Will the UAW

During these years huge reserves were being built up in the Big 3 pern- $ion funds. The GM pension fund is approaching $4 billion and is in- creasing at the rate of $400 million per year. The Big 3 can increase their payments to pensioners by 50 per cent without increasing their payments into these funds. There would be no im- mediate increase in cost to the Big 3.

Voluntary overtime is in effect at an American Motors plant in Kenosha, Wise. and in the farm equipment in- dustry which is unionized by the UAW. Most workers take all the overtime they can get; they need it to meet the ever increasing cost of living. Too much overtime has brought early death to many workers; many grow old before their time. It disrupts family life causing neglect of the wife and family. This demand might be compromised with an increase in the premium paid for overtime.

The employers will use the argument of foreign competition to limit the union’s economic demands. With the deflation of U.S. currency abroad this argument carries little weight. Much of the foreign com- petition comes from foreign sub- sidiaries of Chrysler, Ford and General Motors. It is ironic that in recent years foreign competition has been able to gain as much as 18 per cent of the U.S. market because of the refusal of the , Big 3 to begin producing the small car 10 years earlier than they did.

It is also a fact that while Japan and Germany were spending large amounts on research and development of peace-time commodities, America .was spending even larger amounts on military hardware. Japan has a car that meets our emission control standards while the American product lags behind its import rivals.

Being well aware of the com- promising character of the UAW leadership the Big 3 are making their usual demands on the union. They want the union to help discipline the workers and they are proposing to trim fringe benefits the union won in the past. They say union demands are “astr0n0micaI”. They not only treat union demands lightly but they show little respect for union officials at the bargaining table.

.

This too is part of the script. The employers are serving notice on the UAW negotiators that they are prepared to use their huge resources to curb union demands. While the UAW negotiators meet separately with the companies, behind-the-scenes representatives of the Big 3 meet to plan strategy, thus preventing any divisions among the Big 3 negotiators.

Neither the UAW leadership nor the companies can prevent strikes on local demands but once the national con- tract is agreed on they will use their combined forces to get, the men to. return to work with or without their grievances being settled.

Spokesmen for both sides will say the agreement was a victory for sanity and peace in the’industry for another three years.

The workers in the plants will soon learn they are still in the rat race to keep up on the production line and to meet the weekly grocery bill. If there is a cut in auto production in the next period, the workers will find them- selves in a worse position than before the 1973 contract negotiations.

Incoming freshmen at Waterloo this year have a- ‘x-eak _ over all previaus - cfasses-the cities of: (itchener and Waterloo have revamped the& -

xansit system this past year, and the result is a much more accessible and convenient bus system * than before.

Under the present system, buses which travel ~ the “main Ii&‘-King Street, which isthe main business street .for both citieemake the U of W campus ring roak their turn-around point at the

’ Waterloo end. And, since Fairview Park in the far , end of Kitchener is the other turn-around-point,

virtually every- point in -between is now highly accessible. .-

Things were not always thus. Until recently, the - ,main line was serviced by a trolley fleet, which-was wired just for King street. This campus, at one end, and, Fairview Park Mall, at- the other,. were therefore served by shuttle buses, and the connections were- not always convetiient at all, especially\ in winter. For a while, the University-. _ avenue bus did not even enter the campus. And the trolley-to-Fairview shuttles were notoriously in.- convenient. -- ’

Under the new arra@$nent; you& now?8 a bus on campus and travel directly to all of K-W’s movie houses and most ..of ‘its- -decent .drinking spots, not to mention the major shopping centres. Waterloo Square, downtown* Kitchener and the _ Fairview Mall are the major shopping centres.

The Waterloo and the Picture Show iii Waterloo; the Capitol, Odeon, Hyland, Lyric and Fox in Kit- chener; and the Fairview Cinema at Fairview Plaza are all on the ma@ .line.

The fare is 25 cents and transfers can get you just about anyplace-off the main line fairly quickly ’ now. /

The first bus arrives on campus-at around 6 a.m., - and last bus leaves’ for Kitchener at 1240 a.m.,.

with, about 15-‘minute intervals between-buses. _ . . . -P’

That is not to say that no one living there enjoys it-on the contrary, feedback from the students would lead anybody to be1iev.e that the village was just great. The social life is ready made:floor parties.; village pubs and particularly in Village Two, the double rooms make it difficult to be lonely- apparently the greatest fear of every freshman.

This residence is run by students for students in a-co-operative nature. That

-means anyone living there is a member of the ’ organization that runs the building and in turn has to do their part in running the place. Actually there are two apartment-style groups and two houses’ run by the organization.

And as well. as this, there is ab- ‘solutely nothing to -worry about. All food is prepared and served for you, all cleaning is done by the staff even down to the bedlinen. The student has to eat the food and dirty the rooms, and that’s about jt.

The co-operative is cheaper thanfhe administration run villages, which is strange considering the administration does not need to pay taxes on th_eir building ,or property-while the co- operative..does. The food in .co-op is different from the village which tends towards a lot of carbohydrates to keep the tummies full. Co-op tries a greater variety of foods that stem from the different’culturali groups that fihd their way into the lifestyle.

It might sound tempting to some but there are many other students who after one term or one year or even after only considering the place simply decide it’s not for them. There has to be some reason for this.

Sure, the social lifeIs ready made but it is also limited in variety. The nature of the entertainment-the-pubs and the

The co-op claims to be free-spirited but there are a few contradictions in the way they approach things.’ It may be that. some things have to be done in order to keep everything legal and to attempt to keep the whole thing run- ning. For example, on the application’ for residence they ask your marita! status,, which really should not matter at all: The person answering the phone for the co-op could not explain why the question was on the form but assured me-that nobody there cared about the

And they keep on trying...

The Ontario Federation of Students is a wee bit over a year old now. It has gone through various growing pains, weathered a tortuous battle with the provincial govern- ment, and withstood a list of resignations among its ‘leadership’ to come out with a stronger internal structure and an audacious set of tasks for the coming year. But O.F.S. is far from maturity as it enters a period of.adolescence that will be marked as a time of ‘sturm und drang’.

The founding conference for the organization was held in March, 1972, and was followed in June with the first “members” meeting. By. the time of its second general meeting in July, its mem- bership including ten of the province’s

fifteen universities, Ryerson, four colleges, and a couple part-time student groups- -~ totaling seventeen student unions.

Membership later swelled to 21 but has sinced dropped by three-Ottawa withdrew for lack of funds to pay the membership fees, Laurentian stomped out in a huff (their president leaving behind a list of con- tradictory and nebulous grumblings) , and Victoria found that her associate mem- bership was not a practical status but they remain interested observers.

McMaster and Sir Wilfred ‘Laurier (formerly Waterloo Lutheran) are the only universities that have not been members at some point. While WLU seems to be too pre- occupied with affairs on its own campus to

WE NOT ONLY ACT FRlENxDLY

WE ACTUALLY DO WANT TO HELP

THE TORONTO-DOMINION. BANK 150 UNIVERSITY AVE. W. -

AT PHILIP ST. WATERLOO, ONT. R.G. WEBER

, get involved at the provincial level, “‘Mat” is another case. McMaster has frequently bragged that among its neighborsare one or two big names from the provincial ministry . of colleges and universities therefore they have no need for OFS. That is, until Mat needs some information on what is hap- pening on other campuses at which time OFS can usually expect a phone call.

Right from its inception the Ontario Federation of Students had the unenviable problem of dealing .with the increases in . tuition and cutbacks in student aid brought down by the provincial government as part of its cutbacks in secondary and post- secondary educational financing. .

The impact of the cutbacks vary from campus to campus as did the tenor of student reaction. Augmenting the awk- wardness of formulating a provincial strategy for its membership was the broadness of the political spectrum in OFS as reflected by the delegates at its general meetings.

-While some delegates were clamouring for the organization to take to the streets and set parliament straight (and claiming 1 that the mass of students in Ontario would follow) others wanted to forget the whole matter. The latter felt that most students were content to have to pay a hundred dollars more for tuition while at the same time losing two hundred in grant dollars. Considering the fact that some circles in the provincial government had talked about this only being the beginning of tuition increases and grant money decreases, the federation went ahead with a public campaign to challenge the cutbacks.

The struggle that ensued shook the organization to its core. For the delegates uninitiated in student politics ’ it was a baptism in fire working within OFS to unify the campuses across the province into common action. For the veterans, the ex- perience didn’t remove any of the crust of cynicism.

The whole affair left many questions unanswered and many doubts, but two things seem to have been learned. The first thing being-the faculty of the province are for the most part no ally. They seem more willing to take the chance of their own ranks being cut in number rather than collectively standing together to,protect their colleagues never mind coming out in support of the students. Secondly, the one public ally the Ontario students did find was in the trade union movement, notably the Ontario Federation of Labour.

last year the two-person full-time staff of OFS was unable to react to situations fast enough from being overburdened. The organization also suffered from insufficient communications. The new budget has allowed for increasing the staff to three full- time and one part-time plus periodic publishing of a newspaper. This is all, though, predicated on an increase in membership fees.

OFS dues are based upon a per capita rate. Last year Waterloo paid $2,500 based upon twenty-five cents per undergrad at our campus. The new fee brings our ,dues to $4,000 per year. So far the higher fee is meeting with approval across the province.

The Ontario Federation is serving four basic functions. It carries out research into particular areas, collects information from each campus and centralizes it into a library, facilitating direct exchange bet- ween campuses, and lastly,, acts as a co- ordinator for task-oriented groups com- prised of people from different campuses.

OFS is now working on a group of new problems. In the way of academic affairs there are course evaluations and course unions, faculty tenure policy, and the problems of student participation in university governing bodies. At the level of services and the more mundane concerns, OFS is doing research on off-campus housing, the hassles of students as members of the working force, entertainment co- ordination, and the orientation of new students.

Student politics of the past as embodieYd in such groups as OUS (Ontario Union of Students) and CUS (Canadian Union of Students) have left a legacy of cynicism and frustration. But they have also left a treasury of writings and documents along with various members of the “old guard’ that have helped guide a host of student councillors since. Probably the greatest single monument left by these organizations are the student loan programs which we have been able to take fairly ’ much for granted. f

The challenge is for OFS and its national counterpart (NUS-National Union of Students) to pertenaciously follow through and carry things further.

Throughout the ordeal with the fee strike, many were concerned about the. need for OFS to get involved with other interests of students and the problems encountered by their campus unions. While the organization is still devoting energy to what’s going on in Queen’s Park, OFS is now getting into areas encountered by students daily.

In the early summer a week-long con- ference was held in Toronto to thrash out programs for the provincial body. Out of the battery of workshops and plenaries at- tended by student bureaucrats and politicians came eleven pages of resolutions. These resolutions before becoming official policy have to be ratified by a majority of the member campuses.

Probably the touchiest of resolutions deals with the new budget. Throughout the --shane robeits

reason is that the larger the ticipation activities will most compIex the longer the time taken likely be supervised by the ’ to erect the complex. There is the regional police force. area matter of capital cost; the larger the complex the longer it takes to pay for the complex. ’

A committee has been setup to study the cost of various alter- natives. The best of t,he alter- natives will be presented to the students for the final decision. YOU THE STUDENT will ‘be asked, ‘in the form of. a referen- dum, if you are willing to pay so many-dollars a year, for the next x ’ number of years, toward building the complex of your choice. It should be mentioned at this point that the complex, what ever form itis to take, will not be constructed unless the students are willing to pay for it. -

The warrior track and field team is going into what is classified as the old rebuilding trick. After dominating the OUAA track and field scene for four straight years the team slipped “into a fourth place finish in the OUAA cham- pionships last year. In the OUAA championships it’s the points that count at the end of the competition, in other words, placing in the top six is just as good as winning. The last time the warrior, tracksters won the OUAA championship they won only four of nineteen events.

’ WelI it seems that most of the ’ Italian! representatives on the - international university athletic federation share the same opinion. I Eugenio Scarpiello, a member of the delegation which came to the _. Kitchener-Waterloo area last month to inspect the facilities and accommodations to be used for the area’s proposal for the World , _ Student Games, stated that the - seating capacity for the track and ‘_ field stadium was too small. Primo - Nebioli of Italy, who was ,elected to his sixth two-year term, states that 1 the Kitchener-Wa terloo area was

Last month the Athletic Advisory Board formally decided to look at the building of a student-financed athletic complex. The major facility to be incorporated into the proposed’complex will be a hockey arena& Other possible facilities mentioned at last month’s AAB meeting were a curling rink and some form of running track.

l There was no general decision as to which facilities, other than a hockey facility, should be in- corporated into the complex when the meeting had adjourned. President Burt Matthews ap- peared to be in favour of just a hockey arena with a seating capacity of about 800. His major concern was not the cost of con- struction but the cost of. main- taining the complex. Seagrams 1 Stadium was his example of a facility with a large seating capacity which was used to its capacity about four times a year and also required large sums of money to maintain. An arena with a seating capacity

of 2666 would be more functional than an arena with only three hundred seats. There are more than four varsity hockey games played on home ice each year. The ice ,surface could be covered in order to. hold concerts, other en- terainment activities, and numerous other functions. Holding concerts and other related func- tions in the arena would eliminate some of the repair costs for the PAC building gymnasium floor. At present no concerts or related functions’ will be held in the PAC until a suitable protective covering is purchased for the gym floor. ,

It was suggested at the AAB ,,meeting that the seating should be of a portable nature so that the space is ‘not left unused. The University of Montreal has per-. manent seating with curling facilities (four sheets) underneath. North York Centennial Arena has dressing rooms and store rooms on two levels beneath permanent seating and a walkway on the second level, encircling the ice

surface, which is used as a running area during the winter months.

The .Arena facilities, both hockey and curling, could be rented to other educational institutions and other outside groups in this area to help maintain the complex., This point brings up another concern expressed by federation president, Andy Telegdi. He voiced concern about- who would have control ‘of the complex and how much time would be- reserved for varsity teams. The hockey warriors would

use the facilities for about two to two and a half hours each day at,a time when the demand by other groups would be lowest.

Telegdi was under the impression that the usage time should be unstructured, but this type of setup

1 would not bring maximum usage by UW students. The intramural demands will most likely have priority in the schedule of usage. Included in the intramural program will be free skating time. The kinesiology department will also have use of the facilities for its skills program.

The-track facility, which could be easily incorporated into the design of the hockey arena, would be open for use by the entire campus as long as the hockey facilities were

open. The track could be used by local track clubs and joggers clubs, The winter in the Waterloo area is not very conducive to running outdoors and the PAC building is not the best place to run as many of you know; having had the experience of playing dodge ball with people playing basket- ball.. .

There are many questions to be. answered before the project gets underway; will the ice surface be available during the summer, will the facilities be large enough to hold concerts and functions of the same magnitude, will the facilities be, rented to groups. qutside the university. will Laurier be in- volved in financing, what type and what size of facilities will be in the complex, and will the project be accepted by the students? a~

If the students decide to finance . the project -donations will be collected the same manner as the tenth, anniversary fund--with tuition fees. If the idea is approved the university will borrow the needed funds, to ,be repaid by the student donations, and begin construction as soon as possible. It is hoped that the-construction will be completed in the fall of 74..

The proposed facility would be a gift from the present students to themselves and to future University of Waterloo students. Since this project involves you, the student, you should express your opinions on the proposal, so feel free to send your opinions and ideas to the chevron or bring them into the chevron in person or give your opinions to one of the com- mittee members (Paul Condon, Carl Totzke,: Peter Hopkins, Bill Lobban, Ernie Lappin, George Neeland, Cliff Wilson). This proposed complex involves you, so try to get involved.

Out of town A

’ quieter * kind

of life Kitchener-Waterloo in many ways is a

large city trapped in a small town men- tality.

Since 1941 the population of the two cities - which nestle at times af- fectionately next to each other-has quadrupled. And if one includes the Cambridge area in what could be loosely called the Waterloo region the population reaches well over 200,000. The influx of students each fall at the University of Waterloo and Wilfrid Laurier University and the community college adds roughly 20,000 more people.

Despite a fairly large population and the not-too-other desirous manifestations of urban life like shopping plazas and franchise operations, K-W in many ways hasn’t realized it has grown up.

Entertainment is mostly confined to pubs and movies which change with in- frequency and whose managers’ selections are at the mercy of head offices in Toronto. Some live theatre does make itself available during the winter and the Picture Show, a 16-millimeter cinema in downtown Waterloo, tries to bring some balance by showing good, though somewhat older movies.

Places to hear jazz and blues with any frequency are nonexistant here which ineans either trips to Toronto on the weekend or waiting for the Federation to sring in someone good for the next coffee house or concert. Folk music suffers much Jf the same neglect so fans have to stay at lome with their own stereos, become lroficient on banjo or hope for folk :oncerts at either of the two universities. t is doubtful that any kind of swinging light life exists here more than in “eterborough or Orillia.

But it is possible to take advantage-of lvhat is left of the small town atmosphere although that too is becoming in- :reasingly more difficult. The famous Xitchener Market with its Mennonite Jendors is now located in a parking garage; the old site the victim of urban senewal. Twice a week throughout the ummer until after Oktoberfest it is lossible to slide a basket over your arm ind buy eggs, fruit, cheese, vegetables, smoked salmon, pastries and hundred of Ither tasty staples and delicacies.

The Mennonite farmers manning the rooths however are becoming fewer and *heir places are being taken by fruit Towers from the Niagara Peninsula and om*mercial bakeries. Some of the Men- lonites have retreated to two new farmers

markets which opened in reaction to the tearing down of the old market building and city hall.

One market is held every Saturday in Elmira, a small town on Highway 85 north of Waterloo, and Waterloo now has its own market north of the city. Elmira’s has been open since last summer and the Waterloo market since the first part of August. Both are smaller and with a more limited variety of products than at the older one in Kitchener.

The small towns which surround K-W have other attractions and give a clearer -indication of the German influence which was predominant from the 19th century until the 1950’s. In 1941, for example, the population of Kitchener broken down by mother tongue was 47.9 per cent German and only 34.7 per cent British. By 1961 the German percentage had declined to 18.1 per cent.

Elmira besides having the market offers trotting races every week and the Homestead Restaurant with homemade liverwurst and soups. And a restaurant in

Stores along the river street in Elora include a high percentage of antique shops plus places to buy yarn, ice cream, tea and scones.

St. Jacobs next to a service station which looks like any version of Joe’s Diner has smoked pork chops, wienerschnitzel and homemade bread and_ pies.

Heidelburg and Breslau, there is still a trip to Elora, which is northeast of Elmira.

More English than German, Elora has been discovered by people from Toronto as a good place to live while painting or doing pottery or making good furniture. Through a quirk of fate, Elora missed the influx of industry and neon signs which destroyed the beauty of many small Ontario towns in the fifties.

Food is often the main attraction of the small towns _ which are within driving distance. Most hotels have their own versions of pig tails, spare ribs and pork hocks which range from edible to good.

If you get tired of eating your way through St. Agatha, Petersburg,

Florence Nightingale sent a silver communion service to the Anglican Church in Elora where her first cousin was rector. Forbidden to marry the cousins separated with florence Nightingale dedicating hers/f to nursing and the rector becoming a missionary in Canada.

Shady streets and gracious brick houses are home for retired area farmers and the “outsiders” from Toronto, Kitchener- Waterloo and Guelph. Both groups seemed to be concerned with preserving Elora’s and its twin Salem’s quietness. But there is also the chamber of commerce group who like to advertise the possibility. of industrial sites and natural gas rates.

A visit is a good way to spend an af- ternoon, going through the two pottery workshops (one of which is located in an old church), poking through the shops and having teaaand scones in the Nightingale Tea Shop and Antique Store.

St. John’s Anglican church has a communion service on display which was given to the first rector of the church by Florence Nightingale, his first cousin and the woman whom he was forbidden to marry. Instead of marrying her, he came to Canada, first to the Red River set- tlement as a missionary and then to Elora. While in Elora, Florence Nightingale sent him the communion service. The church also has a choir and organist good enough to- have produced an album of anthems.

The town is also only a few miles from the Elora Gorge, a conservation area with , some spectacular scenery by the Grand

River, pleasant meadows and a small lake for swimming. It’s a good way to forget streets and concrete buildings for a while and drop into a quieter, less demanding existance.

Stratford is also within easy driving distance of Kitchener-Waterloo. Aside from the obvious attraction of the Shakespeare festival, Stratford itself is an often lovely- town with the Avon River banks offering a pleasant grassy place for meditation and looking at the swans.

The Black Swan Coffee House at last hearing was still operating with music by Perth County Conspiracy and friends. Tea, coffee, cider and homemade yogurt are among its attractions. The disad- vantage is having to listen to members of the Conspiracy complain about the festival crowd but waiting until that crowd has filled the coffee house befor performing.

So with a car or a good friend with a car, Kitchener-Waterloo can become a bit more than movies and pubs and a trip to Toronto.
