Council action endorsed by students By Frank BRAYTON * What could have been a major crisis in the field of student affairs was averted at an open meeting of the SUS last Wednesday when a decision of council to join UGEQ was upheld by a slim margin of 6 votes. As a result, council will not be forced to resign as they indicated to the Georgian last week and the university’s 4,000 students will remain members of the Quebec students’ union. Council felt that a motion asking them to withdraw from UGEQ woud be tantamount to a vote of non- confidence by the student body. The first open meeting of the Sutdents Undergraduate Society was attended by over 600 boiste- rous students who filled Birks Hall to overflowing. The meeting reached at times a state of mass confusion however no violence occured despite the emotional nature of the question involved. President Ron Moores explained the reasoning behind council's decision to join UGEQ (Union Generale des Etudiants de Quebec) During the course of his speech, he was interupted several times by hecklers and, conversly, cheers of support. The open meeting was called as a result of a petition signed by 150 students that was presented to council. These students did not agree that council had the right to accept membership in UGEQ without consulting the student body. Mr Moores stressed that UGEQ was not prohibiting English repre- sentatives from speaking in their native language — contrary to the beliefs held by some individuals in this matter. He also pointed out that the representatives of English universities received a warm wel- come at the UGEQ conference held two weeks ago. The council had given very careful consideration to the question of joining and felt unani- mously that the benefits to be derived from membership in UGEQ were very worthwhile. “UGEQ is a dynamic force in this province to-day and it is going to advance the position of the student in Quebec whether we are part of it or not.” Another point stressed by Mr. Moores was that Sir George is still an autonomous university and we will continue as such. “The aims of UGEQ are in no way conflicting with the aims and goals of this university. Our aims are' in fact basically the same as those of UGEQ and no crisis appears to be developing along these lines. A question and answer period followed the prepared statement of Mr. Moores. At this time many of the confusing issues were cla- rified. One question put to the council at this time was.” Is it up to the individual to join UGEQ or do we join as a student body?” the reply was that we join as a student body. We are in fact already members of UGEQ. Another question that was pre- sented for discussion was that of the cost of joining UGEQ. It was revealed at this time that membership fees are $1.00 per student. At this point wild pandemonium began on the floor and it was some time before order was restored. It was also pointed out in the discussion period that English Universities will be allowed fair representation on the executive and that the amount of English representation is UGEQ is approximately one quarter. A motion was then presented by Ken Leigh and seconded by Bill Murray that the Students’ Undergraduate Society endorse council’s decision to join UGEQ. A noisy discussion of this motion then began. The discussion was earmarked by several students trying to speak at the same time and violent outbursts from the floot. The result was that most students could not unerstand what was taking place and order was not restored until the vote was taken. Several points that were raised during the discussion period, howe- ver, were that a 2/3 majority was required to pass the motion, and that there would be no student government should the motion be defeated. All council members had previously expressed their deci- sion to resign since a defeat on the UGEQ issue would display a lack of confidence in the council. Finally after much pandemo- nium, the vote was taken. The breakdown was as follows; for 348 against—121; abstentions —42. The motion was carried with a margin of 6 votes-. Evening student VOTED M iss Montreal Lina Nicol, under the sponsorship of CFCF-TV, was recently chosen Miss Montreal. An Evening student, at Sir George, she is presently pursuing her career of ballet teaching. A brunette standing 5’5 1/2” tall, she graduated from John Rennie High in 1962. She plans to major in languages in pursuing her B.A. After 3 yrs. of training, she now is a member of the Associa- tion of Canadian Ballet Teachers. As a representative of Montreal, Linda will run in the Miss Canada Pageant on November 14, in Toronto. The pretty grey — eyed candidate, if she becomes Miss Canada would like to visit Denmark and Russia to augment her ballet career. Linda will be kept extremely busy with interviews, rehearsals, and conferences. And, if chosen Miss Canada, she must travel for a year representing the young women of our country. She would return to her present career and studies after her year travelling. Kashtan-Bassett Stars of debate disappoint 700 JULIUS YANOFSKY of the Garnet Key congratulates Georgian Coed on her selection as Miss Montreal By Stephen The stage was set, the audience was anxious, but the actors forgot their scripts. This was the scene last Thursday in Birks Hall when a potentially explosive debate fizzled out before an overflow crowd of seven hundred eager and restless students. M essrs. William Kashtan, leader of the Canadian Communist Party and David Bassett of radio station CFCF had been invited by the Debating Union to debate on the topic “Resolved that Communism is a workable political system for the modern world” . But their speeches were about as germane to the topic as is the fluctuation in prices of admission tickets to the Abyssinian National Museum of Haile Selasse’s medals to the Canadian election. The star of the show was the petite Miss Marsha akman who is rapidly gaining a reputation for something in general and nothing in particular at this university. Miss Marsha Akman, an ardent nationalist who is currently cam- paigning for a distinctive Sir BERNHUT George flag, became engulfed in a surging wave of patriotism and attempted to start a chorus of “O Canada” , the current Canadian national anthem. Aided by a boisterous bugler who was apparently stolen from the Montreal Forum or the Los Angeles Colesium, Miss Akman was only partly successful in her attempt, but she was probably a victim of student apathy (sic) than anything else. As for Mr. Kashtan, who was supposed to take the affirmative, nothing too “ nice” could be said. He immediately likened Socialism to Communism and in a rather meek attempt to support his argu- ment stated that it is equal and in some respects superior to capitalism. “ It is a workable, growing system and will soon be morally superior to capitalism”. Turning his designs to Canada, Mr. Kashtan said that socialism is feasible in this country. In such a society, people decide what mea- sures are to be taken but it is now time “for people to make these decisions themselves”. Mr. Kashton alluded any fears Canadians might have about the harsh totalitarian methods of control when he allowed that “ we can achieve socialism in Canada by peaceful methods and using the multi-party system”. Mr. Bassett seemed more con- cerned about refuting his reputation as a pure Communist than he was about debating. Citing Sir Thomas More’s “Utopia” as an example, Mr. Bassett stated that the society depicted therein was communist and that this was the society “ we cannot ever give up our desire to dream about.” Mr. Bassett also attacked tota- litariansim for not allowing any active opposition: “ Dicatators cannot stand any heckling, World War II would never have happened if such heckling had existed” . However Mr. Bassett received the most enthousiastic response from the audience when, in completeing one of this sentences he shouted “ my fellow Canadians” and reverberated his jowels in the familiar style of a fairly well- known Canadian political per- sonality.

The f i r s t open m eeting of the Sutdents U ndergraduate Society w as attended by over 600 b o is te ­ro u s studen ts who filled B irks Hall to overflowing.

The m eeting reached a t tim es a s ta te of m ass confusion however no violence occured desp ite the em otional na tu re of the question involved.

P res id en t Ron M oores explained the reasoning behind council's decision to join UGEQ (Union G enerale des E tudiants de Quebec) During the cou rse of h is speech, he w as in terup ted sev e ra l tim es by h eck le rs and, conversly , ch ee rs of support.

The open m eeting w as ca lled as a re su lt of a petition signed by 150 students that w as p resen ted to council. These students did not ag ree that council had the righ t to accep t m em bersh ip in UGEQ without consulting the student body.

M r M oores s tre s s e d tha t UGEQ w as not prohibiting English r e p r e ­sen ta tives from speaking in th e ir native language — co n tra ry to the be lie fs held by som e individuals in th is m a tte r . He a lso pointed out tha t the rep re sen ta tiv e s of English u n iv e rs itie s received a w arm w el­com e a t the UGEQ conference held two w eeks ago .

The council had given very ca re fu l considera tion to the question of joining and felt unani­m ously that the benefits to be derived from m em bership in UGEQ w ere v e ry w orthw hile.

“ UGEQ is a dynamic force in th is p rovince to -day and it is going to advance the position of the student in Quebec w hether we a re p a r t of it o r n o t.”

A nother point s t re s s e d by M r.

Our a im s are ' in fact basica lly the sam e as those of UGEQ and no c r i s is ap p ears to be developing along these lin es.

A question and answ er period followed the p repared sta tem en t of M r. M oores. At th is tim e many of the confusing is su e s w ere c la ­rified . One question put to the

council a t th is tim e w a s .” Is it up to the individual to join UGEQ o r do we join a s a student body?” the rep ly w as that we join a s a student body. We a re in fact a lready m em bers of UGEQ.

Another question that was p re ­sented fo r d iscussion w as that of the cost of joining UGEQ. It was revealed at th is tim e that m em bership fees a re $1.00 p e r student.

At th is point wild pandemonium began on the floor and it was som e tim e before o rd e r was re s to re d . It was a lso pointed out in the d iscussion period that English U n ivers ities will be allowed fa ir rep resen ta tion on the executive and that the amount of English rep resen ta tion is UGEQ is approxim ately one quarte r.

SLOC chairman to present recommendations to council“ The rep o rt of the SLOC

com m ittee to the SUS council will be p resen ted to the student executive a t next w eek’s council m ee ting ,” SLOC chairm an F rank Sim kevitz announced F riday .

Copies of the re p o r t have already been m ailed to a ll delegates of the conference. C hairm an Sim kevitz, in an in terview F riday exp ressed his sa tisfac tion with the en tire conference and re ite ra te d h is hope that council w i l l take action on the recom endation of the student le a d e rs .

M r. Sim kevitz a lso indicated tha t one of the m ost im portan t segm ents of the th re e -p a rt p rog ram , a leade rsh ip tra in ing co u rse in group dynam ics w ill get underw ay a s soon as it is possib le to fina lize p lans.

In h is p reface to the rep o rt M r. Sim kevitz cautions that the opinions exp ressed in it a re those ex p re ssed in the conference groups and have m ere ly been collated and a re not n ecesa rily m eant to rev ea l the opinions of the en tire group.

One of the m ost im portan t topics d iscu ssed both a t the weekend se s s io n in the S te. Agathe and the p rev ious — w eekend’s a ll-day conference a t S ir G eorge, w as the UGEQ situation .

SLOC delegates fe lt that both S ir G eorge and UGEQ w ill benefit from our joining, a s th is w ill tend to streng then the UGEQ bargain ing position . They w ill re p re se n t a la rg e r group and S ir G eorge w ill benefit from the concessions that a s tro n g er UGEQ w ill be able to obtain.

Another point in favour of our joining UGEQ was that th e re would be m utual benefit through contact of the English and F rench speaking co lleges and u n iv e rs itie s in Q uebec. Also m entioned was the fac t that UGEQ has a dynamic philosophy and it is in the best in te re s ts of S ir G eorge’s 4,000 studen ts to aligne them selves with tha t philosophy.

Objections ra ise d to our joining UGEQ w ere that the group (UGEQ) has definite unilingual (F rench) and se p a ra tis t tendencies), and th a t because of the la rg e r vote of the french colleges (they outnum ber

u s 55,000 students to 20,000) the in te re s ts of the English bloc may su ffe r.

R ecom m endations of the SLOC de lega tes to com bat these d isadvantages w ere: a) S ir George delegate to UGEQ should attem pt to obtain an executive position w ithin UGEQ to give the English Bloc a la rg e r voice; b) that our position in UGEQ be re-evaluated a f te r a tr ia l period of one to two y e a rs ; c) that g rea te r co-operation with CUS (the Canadian Union of Students) is necesary and in the in te re s t of a ll concerned that we have the righ t to pu rsue political and so c ia l goals through p re s su re techniques a s used by o ther groups; e) that English be recognized as an o ffic ia l language of UGEQ (th is point w as conceded a t la s t w eek’s UGEQ cong ress in Quebec city); th a t S ir G eorge should attem pt to keep the door open to negotiations w ith CUS but not a t the r isk of sev e rin g our UGEQ re la tio n s .

The group concluded, the rep o rt continues, that “ we should join UGEQ but without com prom ising o u r philosophy. T here a re m ore advantages for the U n iversities of Q uebec to band together to make the demand we rightfully d e se rv e .”

PublicityIn the a re a of publicity the group

a r r iv e d a t an unanim ous and unqualified conclusion that th is c e rta in ly is an a re a of p rim e concern to a ll groups and one that ignored and m ishandled to a la rge deg ree in the past. It w as agreed th a t em phasis should be p laces on re c ru itin g response to S.U.S. endeavors, ra th e r than prom oting

the call fo r w o rk e rs . C oncentrating on publicing an event, especially u tiliz ing a persona l approach, would make the m onetary expenditure on the p rogram m e w orthw hile. It was the opinion of the group that despite the la rg e num bers of ac tiv itie s scheduled at one tim e, th is should have no d e trim en ta l bearing on the support of any-one individual activ ity .

It m ust be observed that the method of com m unication, that is the approach, is im portan t in the publicizing of any one event. The group suggested that student le a d e rs consider w hether th e ir p ro g ram s a re b e tte r su ited to m ass m edia publicity o r personal m outh-to-m outh technique, before a ttem pting effective publicity . The so lu tions offered by one group w ere to in c rea se the effectiveness of p o ste rs ; to have clubs p rin t th e ir own new sle tte rs ; to tra in spec ia lized staff; and to in stitu te m easu res , define and lim it the functions of the Public R elations and Publicity groups.

Freshman OrientationThe aim of a proposal suggested

by one group to introduce a new face t of freshm an o rien ta tion , was to o rien ta te the potential high school graduating c la s s to the c o -c u r r ic u la r p rogram of SGWU, em phasizing the concept of the “ to ta l” U niversity E xperience.

Suggestions fo r the in itia l contact with the students consisted of a se ss io n outlining various facets of U niversity life , followed by an in fo rm al “ coke” sessio n during which individual concerns could find expression . It w as ventured

The group felt that ideally , this p rog ram should be institu ted th is y ea r and should be planned within a month.

The topic of student O rientation led to a d iscussion of the m e rits of c liques in the basem ent socie ty . It w as pointed out that a definition fo r “ c lique” was “ a united group w orking tow ards a common en d .” But it should be noted that the cohesiveness and c lo seness of a group should not be in te rep re ted a s its being an undesirab le clique. At the sam e tim e, student lead e rs m ust becom e aw are that a clique should be “ open at the bottom ” so that it can p e rp e tra te itse lf in te rm s of bringing in young blood which w ill be able to take over leade rsh ip . A group that does not do th is is an undesirab le c lique.

It w as suggested that an extension of the SLOC program be responsib le for the tra in ing of potential lead e rs , through a s e r ie s of se ss io n s , organized and adm in is te red by the S.U.S.

Letters ta the EditorDemocracy irrelevant

D ear Madam,In the a r tic le entitled “ Who

benefits from education?” in las t w eek’s “ G eorgian” the author s ta te s , “ su re ly those who benefit the m ost should i>ay the m ost if education is to be kept demo­c r a t ic ” .

Surely, Madam, a dem ocratic educational system should be based on the p rincip le that he who needs and w ants an education should rece iv e it, ir re g a rd le s s of h is ab ility to pay fo r it o r not. In which case WHO pays fo r education then becom es an irre lev an cy except inso far that it becom es c le a r that the im percunious student doesn ’t. My point, is that in this context the re fe ren ce to Demo­c racy is ir re le v an t and hence that the w rite r is d iscussing a view of th is problem which is u se le ss fo r a ll p rac tica l pu rposes and which gives r i s e to conclusions w hich a re logically unsound.

Having shown that the question of a dem ocratic system is very la rg e ly independent of who pays fo r the sy s tem , I should now like to exam ine o ther sta tem en ts made by the w rite r in the sam e a r t ic le .

Athletic restrictionD ear Madam,

In the O ctober 12th is su e of the G eorgian , A thletic D irec to r Doug Insleay was quoted a s favouring a ru le that re s tr ic te d a th le tes from playing for “ o u ts id e” team s when th e re was a un iversity team for which they could p lay. I strongly d isag ree with the re s tr ic tio n of freedom as put forth in the name of re sp o n sib ility . Surely, i t is in­co n sis ten t with the concept of responsib ilty , but ra th e r one of punishable obligation.

Let me make my perso n a l views on the m atter m ore explic it. I be lieve that an ath le te w ill have a g re a te r opportunity for ch a rac te r developm ent, for enjoym ent, and fo r lasting cam arad e rie a s a m em ber of a un iversity team than as a m em ber of an “ o u ts id e” team . An a th lete who chooses not to play fo r h is un iversity team , in my opinion, iso la tes h im self fhat much m o re from a m ilieu whose sa lien t pu rpose for being is to help him develop a s an individual. I ag ree w ith M r. Insleay that an ath lete , through h is partic ipa tion on un iver­s ity team s, con tribu tes to the developm ent of o thers by upgrading the s tan d ard s of com petition. In h is sen se , an ath le te should recognize the responsib ility her has to the students who in other ways a re undoubtedly contributing to h is developm ent.

However, it is my opinion that im plem enting the re s tr ic tio n aga in s t playing fo r an outside team in o rd e r to fo rce the ath le te to

November

N ovem ber is going to be a difficult month for Sir George Students: th e re a re four m ore m ajor e v e n t s scheduled fo r the rem ain d er of the month.

It is going to be difficult for each event to draw the crowd it d e se rv e s . We believe each student received a new sletter in the mail advising on p rec ise ly which ac tiv ity w ill be held when.

T ry to keep th is in mind and plan your month so a s to be able to lend as much support as possib le to these ven tures.

ac t m ore responsibly o r to p a r tic i­pate in a m ilieu which would add to h is developm ent is illog ica l. The i m plem entation of the re s tr ic tio n in effect m itigates against the ath le tes developing responsib ility fo r it re in fo rc e s the idea that o th e rs will decide on which a c ts a re resp o n sib le ones and which ac ts would lead to c h a rac te r deve­lopm ent. Surely one of the aim s of the un iversity education is an understand ing of the m eans that lead to h is developm ent. R es­tr ic tin g an a th le te ’s choice a s to the team s he may play fo r unduly e lim ina tes an opportunity for him to le a rn som ething about re sp o n si­b ility .

Consequently, I s trongly reco m ­mend that the A thletic Council g ran t p e rm iss io n to those who wish to p lay fo r outside team s and give them th is additional opportunity to le a rn som ething about respon­s ib ility and grow th.

Student governmentD ear Madam,I think tha t student governm ent,

student unions, and student synd i­

ca lism a re m is-d irec ted effo rts fo r two reaso n s . F ir s t , these unions do not a c h i e v e th e ir pu rpose , that is , rep resen ting the a ttitudes of the student body to the adm in is tra tion . Second, and m ore im portant, the questioning of au thority is not continued a fte r graduation . As I see it, the purpose of student unions is to convey to the U niversity adm inistra tion student opinion on adm in istra tion policy . The unions feel that the individual student should have a voice in how he is governed by the adm in istra tion . T he ir m eans to th is end m ay be questioned. Students feel the louder they yell the m ore they w ill be noticed. T h is is quite tru e . But instead of contributing anything to the student - adm in istra tion re la tio n ­sh ip , these loud-m ouths a re branded a s trouble m akers . N either do these loud-m ouths do anything to im prove the public’s opinion of co llege, th e ir dem ons­tra tio n s in public only gain them the label of “ half-baked college punks.” The unions if they a re to achieve th e ir purpose should find a m ore efficient w a y to com m unicate to the adm inistra tion The problem is to find a feasible way.

It is true that our society is becom ing m ore regim ented, and tha t th e re is no room for non- co m fo rm ists . It is also a rea lity tha t the un iversity students are becom ing aw are of th e ir ro le as ‘ ‘ student c itizen s . ’ ’ U niversity students should question the dec is ions of those who say they a re acting for the good of the student. However, the im portant thing in a un iversity education is how a student applies what lie has lea rned a f te r he g raduates. A student usually tra n s fe rs the sk ills lie has learned a t un iversity to h is vocation. But what about the faculty he has developed of q u e s t i o n i n g ahd c ritic iz ing au thority , o r of fighting for a cause a re these tran sfe red upon his graduation?

DisgustedD ear Madam,

I w as thoroughtly d isgusted a t the attitude of the m ore im m ature studen ts tow ards the evening student who ro se to speak a t the W ednesday (Nov. 3) open m eeting of the S.U.S. in B irks Hall.

When it was a scerta in ed that th is student was from the evening d iv ision , c r ie s of “ shut up” and “ s i t down” w ere flung a t him! P e rh ap s what the im m atu re loud mouths need is a year out working and try ing to get ttie ir degrees the h a rd way.

Evening students pay equal fees to the day students (without being e llig ib le for governm ent aid) outnum ber day students, and do not have effective rep resen ta tion in the a ffa irs of the un iversity through the E.S.A. They th ere fo re should be a t le a s t allowed to voice an opinion, in a un iversity which is ju s t a s much th e irs a s o u rs .

'Bogge’ shot downD ear Madam;

R eferring to issue #4 of the “ Bogge” , the Engineering new s­le tte r , I’d like to try to shoot it down on sev e ra l points.

In its c rash ing use of logic en titled ‘F ree Education — Why N ot?’ it points out in the la s t parag raph tha t un less the goodly and goodly E ngineers speak out, “ The policy (on abolition of tuition fees) of the S tudents’ U ndergradu­ate Society will ce rta in ly tu rn public opinion against S ir G eorge.” Now turning over to the s to ry on a ‘C ar R ally’ we read in the second p arag raph where the ‘Bogge’ advocates, yea req u ire s , personnel to drink b eer in c a r s . Now I ask you — which seem s to you to be the m ost dangerous to S ir G eorge’s public im age? The mind con ju res up som e wild scen es .

In the sam e a r tic le on F ree education, I’d like to quote a p a rtic u la rly revealing parag raph .

“ Who benefits from U niversity education? The SUS s ta te s , “ the segm ent of the com m unity that gains the maximum benefit in o rd e r of magnitude a re society , students, and p a re n ts .” What a lo t of rot! Sure a ll of socie ty benefits from educational advancem ent, but le t’s face it, the one who benefits the m ost in d o lla rs and cents is the lad with the MAGICAL le t te r s behind his nam e.”

Obviously, the man hasn ’t read the Bladen re p o r t. Dean Bladen pointed out that the econom ic re tu rn on investm ent in higher education is 25%. Only eight per cent of th is re tu rn goes to the student, and the o ther 17% goes back to the investo r, society .

T ry to make an investm ent like that in a bank, my boy. It is in te restin g to note a lso the use of the te rm ‘m agical’ in re fe ren ce to the le t te r s denoting a degree earned . T his un iversity has failed , and failed m iserab ly if a ll it succeeds in doing is in ‘graduating’ eng inee rs instead of ‘educating’ them .

The whole point to th is le t te r , Madam ed ito r, is tha t I don’t re a lly feel that the view s exp ressed in th is re cen t edition of the Bogge a re rep resen ta tiv e of the thinking of the E ngineering Facu lty .

Encore, M. FattolD ear Madam,

As a po lem ist, M r. F a tta l, tu rn s out to v ery difficult to deal w ith. He sk ip s, hops and jum ps all over the p lace without ev er making h is point o r p resen ting a logically constructed argum ent. F o r that reaso n m ainly, th is sha ll be my la s t open le t te r to the b rillian t v ice -p re s id en t of the illu s trio u s L ib e ra l Club.

I find I have deciphered your th e s is to be the follow ing:Q uebec­e r s do not understand th ie r Q uebecois b re th e ren and there fo re cannot back th e ir a sp ira tio n s, cannot p artic ip a te in the m a in s­tream of Quebec po litica l life . F u rth e rm o re , you think it is the resp o n sib ility of the Q uebecois to explain to you what they a re try ing to ach ieve,

The reason you cannot u n d er­stand is that you a re not on the sam e wave length a s we a re . A p rim e exam ple of th is is that you w ere shocked a t my saying th a t F rench - Canadians living in Quebec a re Quebecois f i r s t and fo rem eo st and “ don’t give a damn about O ttaw a.” Is tha t su rp ris in g when we consider that P re m ie r Bennet and Manning respective ly , of B.C. and A lberta have difinitely placed the i n t e r e s t s of th e ir province ahead of any fed e ra l considera tions during the c u rre n t elec tion cam pagin? If they have the reaso n to do th is a re n ’t the Q uebecois a ll the m ore justified in feeling a s tro n g er allegiance tow ards the only p a r t of Canada, w here they can ex p ress them selves and be understood?

Now that an explanation has been given of the basic difference betw een your “ Canada f i r s t ” attitude and our own, and I tru s t i t w asn’t too fa r above your level of com prehension, I w ill go on to explain why Quebec is not too concerned a s to w hether you understand our position o r not.

Quebec is the only province which has lived up to its end on the ta c it ag reem ent included in the C onfederation Pact w hereby m in o ritie s w ere to have equal r ig h ts and opportun ities in each and ev ery prov ince. Your excuse fo r the a s s i m i l a t i o n p ro cess obvious in o th er p rov inces is that the s ize of the m inorities d e te r ­m ines the num ber and quality of the fac ilite s which a re to be conceded. Do you not know that th is v e ry mom ent th e re is a higher percen tage of F rench-C anadians in O ntario then th ere is of Anglo- C anadians in Quebec? It c e rta in ly tak es a lo t of nerve on your p a rt to g ripe about your situation h ere and the attitude Q uebecois take tow ard you. If, a s you say , the opportun ities you have a re norm al and do not constitu te a p riv ilege , then, by the sam e s tandards, F rench C a n a d i a n s in o ther p rov inces a re tre a ted abnorm ally and a re underpriv ileged .

The point is th is : Don’t g rip e , don’t com plain because it ch eeses u s off to quite an extent. G ranted you cannot understand , we a ll have o u r lim ita tio n s, but a t le a s t keep qu iet about it. Quebec has been and is being good to you, don’t aggravate it . And p lease , p lease don’t flaunt your pseudo b iling ­ua lism by w riting in F rench . In two v e ry sh o rt sen tences I counted five e r r o r s of g ram m ar and two of syntax. Man, i t ’s difficult enough try ing to understand you when you w rite in English . . . — Si tu veux r e s te r ic i, a u m o in s c e s s e d ’e c r ire d es co n n erie s .

Au debut de la sem aine d e rn ie re , nous apprenions que deux p ro je ts de pavilions a l ’Expo ’67 avaient ete abandonnes p a rce que le s Industries canadienne n’avaient pas m ontre a sse z d’in te re t, financierem en t et au trem en t.

THE RUSSIAN AUTHORS-...TURGENEV

POSTSCRIPT

IVAN SERGEYEVIGH TURGENEV was born in 1818, the son of an old landed gentry fam ily of Tartar descent. Hie grew up on the fam ily estate of Spasskoye in the province of Orel, where he cam e to know his motehr’s harsh treatment of her ser fs—it was she who had brought wealth into the fam ily—and chafed under her arbitrary, tyrannical methods so much that he ended by quarrelling with her. He studied philosophy at the U niversities of Moscow, St-Petersburg and Berlin, but decided to devote h im self entirely to literature. His first published works were poems under the romantic influence of Pushkin, the followed the first s to r ie s . In Russia his reputation was firm ly esta ­blished by A SPORTSMAN’S SKETCHES (1847-52), and soon spread abroad through translations.

The central event of h is private life was his meeting in 1843 with a great singer, Pauline Viardot-Garcia, who was to be his life-long love. In 1852 he was arrested and banished to h is estate for eighteen months because of an open letter he published on the death of Gogol. After 1856 he lived mainly abroad, above all in P aris, but a lso in fashionable p laces like the German spa Baden-Baden, where he stayed with Pauline Viardot and her husband, and which is the setting of his novel SMOKE.

He became a personal friend of Flaubert and Zola; h is sty le and narrative pattern influenced Maupassant and Henry Jam es— it was Henry J a m e s who w r o t e the introduction when an English edition of

Turgenev’s stories appeared in 1903, in thirteen v o l u m e s . His contem poraries outside his own country fe lt that he had opened ‘before the West the new, vast world of R ussia’, in the words of the famous Danish e s s a y i s t and cr itic , Brandes. Oxford made him an honorary doctor. On the other hand many Russian intellectuals blamed him for being a “ W esterner” , and a moderate liberal in the W estern sen se, and he was on bad term s with the two other giants of Russian writing at that period, Dostoevsky and Tolstoy. After a last v isit to Russia, in 1880, he became r e c o n c i l e d with Dostoevsky, at l e a s t superficially. Turgenev died in 1883 at Bougival, near P aris.

Turgeven wrote s ix novels which cover the decades between the th irties and the seventies in Russia and explore, each in its way, h u m a n relationships, human characters, in a precisely observed and sharply conveyed social setting. These novels are , under the titles old established in English translation: RUDIN, A HOUSE OF G E N T L E F O L K , ON THE EVE, FATHERS AND SONS, SMOKE and VIRGIN SOIL.

In them he showed a predilection for heroes of a Hamlet type: in fact he wrote an essa y on Hamlet and Don Quixote as opposed human types.

The elem ent of social cr itic ism in his novels brought him much censure inside Russia at the tim e. On the whole, his countrymen preferred the lyrica l beauty of his stor ies and, particularly, delicate love stor ies such as THE TORRENTS OF SPRING and FIRST LOVE.

The a r t is t c re a te s the design, c a r r ie s out the technical p ro ce sse s to p rin t the design, and in Canada, usually pulls the final p rin ts off the p re s s .

C reation of a mood is m ost suc­cessfu lly attained in KenLywood’s “ G u ita r” , the sensitive study of a boy engrossed in the m agical world of h is guitar.

The exhibition ce rta in ly does not include a ll the b es t draw ings and p rin ts cu rren tly produced in Canada. However, I did enjoy and was often g reatly im p ressed by the technical advancem ents produced in the show. U nfortunately, sev e ra l of the p rin ts and draw ings w ere ra th e r academ ic, devoid of the sophistication p resen t in the w orks m entioned here .

EDITH STEPHENBEWITCHING GENIUS

Mann istCan one man be com pletely

tran sfo rm ed into ano ther? Can he be changed so com pletely that none of h is c h a ra c te r is tic s rem ain? The G eorgian P lay e rs w ill a ttem pt to p rove that th is is possib le in th e ir forthcom ing production of B erto lt B rech t’s “ Man is Man” .

T his being the f i r s t m ajo r production of the y ear the G eorgian P la y e rs have chosen a p lay which con ta ins som ething of in te re s t fo r ev e ry student in the U niversity .

The action of the p lay revolves around the ch a ra c te r t r a n s ­form ation of Galy Gay, a sim ple handyman, who is played by Jack Cunningham. M r. Cunningham is a fourth year student at Sir George and Is already wall known

But F rank Sinatra and Dean M artin seem to think it is . In t h i s “ sophisticated com edy” , S ina tra p lays the head of an ad v ertis in g agency, with Dean M artin a s h is asso c ia te and long­standing pa l. Deborah K e rr, the w ife, is bored with ex-sw inger S ina tra , and M artin, the town d irty -o ld -m an , talks him into taking h e r on a second honeymoon to revam p the apparently dying e m b e rs . The honeymoon ends in a qu ick ie M exican d ivorce, M artin is unintentionally wed to K e rr, S inatra takes over M artin ’s unbeleivable bachelor pad rep le te w ith fem ale delights, and a fte r the holocaust, everuthing is s tra igh tened out when S inatra and K e rr re jo in and M artin reconquers h is house through som ething resem b ling sq u a tte r’s r ig h ts .

The Cy Howard sc r ip t is dry , though, and only a few scenes can be considered even rem otely funny. The lines a re poor and the plot lo s e s on that count; its only saving g ra c e is an accasional ad lib from M artin , whose a n t i c s soem tim es tickle but never overw helm . I ’ve never considered S ina tra a good ac to r and he p roves my point he re , a s w ell a s h is la s t m ovie, “ Von R yan’s E x p re ss .” At tim es you can alm ost see him botching the intent of the sc r ip t, and I sim ply can ’t p ic tu re him as the sedate and conscientious adv ertis in g m an. M aritn gives the only good perform ance in the moviebut th a t’s m ostly because the p a rt com es natu ra lly to him : the suave,

Deborah K e rr, whose p e rfo r­m ance in “ S eparete T a b le s” a couple of y e a rs ago s t il l am azes m e, does only a p assab le job, which I chalk off to the fac t that she is out of h e r elem ent in th is type of s to ry . The re s t of the acting is of li tt le consequence: the supporting a c to rs a r e M ichael P e ti t and Nancy S in tra , who play

S in a tra ’s ch ild ren , John McGlver a s the fam ily law yer, Tony Bill a s M iss S in a tra ’s psych ia try student boyfriend, and H erm ione Baddeley, who p a rtra u s S in a tra ’s Scotch-loving m o ther-in -law .

The C alifornia coast is photo­graphed beautifully and openly, a s is M artin ’s bevy of g ir ls , who rem ind m e of sou thern fried chicken with a dash of sp ice , clean cut but m orally “ h onest” women. N elson R idd le’s m usic is p re tty , and in keeping with the m ovie, but too much in the background fo r som eone w ith the ta len t to produce so many h it te lev is ion them e songs, such as “ Routd 66” . T rin i Lopez, the guest s ta r , sings a new song, and is a f te r a ll p re tty good a t h is job . But s t i l l the movie w ill be soon forgo tten : it sim ply does not come a c ro s s .

What to me seem s Im portant Is the perpetuation of an A m erican myth, or,' the A m erican mythology. T he s to r ie s , of the man w ho’s made it, th e sour m arriag e gone good, the ad vers iting “ gam e” e tc . AD INFINITUM, a re played w ith in no unceta in d eg rees .

Working with the m ain c a s t is a colouful chorus of students who do a g re a t deal to c re a te a tm o sp h ers by vivid costum ing, m ovem ent,and song.

The e n tire scene is dom inated by a b rillian t red tem ple placed a t one side of the s tag e , w here the fateful robbery tak es p lace a t the opening of the play .

All the c a s t a re en thusiastic about the p o ss ib ilit ie s of the sc r ip t and a re c e rta in tha t th is is going to be one of the m ost successfu l p roductions that the G eorgian P la y e rs have ev e r p resen ted .

Sinatra and Martin remotely humorous

It would seem that the Great American Tragedy no longer deals with an untimely pregnancy, a rowboat and an oar, and the man on the way up. Now it has to do with men already there, a bored wife and a Mexican divorce, and then, an untimely pregnancy. None of this sounds funny, and in 1 'Marriage on the Rocks’' now playing at the Palace Theatre, it isn ’t.

C harles Burke en tered the coffee house business — a hectic one — because he needed an outlet from h is tra in p o rte r job fo r which he fo re se e s no fu ture . Thus the em ergence of the Black Bottom.

M r.B urke s t il l holds down a 9 1 /2 hour p e r day job in the ra ilro a d , so the Black Bottom is actually a p a r t tim e e ffo rt: It opens at 10 PM and c lo ses a t 5 AM T hursday to Sunday. But the day is not fa r off when he can devote a ll h is en g erie s tow ards the ‘BB’,he say s .

It w as two o ’clock in the morning when M anager G eorge Hensley ushered u s into the “ m ost talked about place in town” —the Black Bottom.

The Black Bottom is a recen t — but w orthy - - addition toM ontreal’s flam boyant night life . Through it w as founded only two y e a rs ago, it lias a lreadyestab lished an enviable reputation fo r giving the cu s to m ers — and th e re a re many — god and very good m usic .

A ll so r ts of people can be seen a t the ‘BB’ and they a re only too glad to dish out the one do llar cover charge .

P e rsh ap s the Black Bottom is going too fa r by boasting of being

the m ost talked about p lace in M ontrea l. T hat’s a moot point. The im portan t thing is that they tr y to live up to th e ir nam e.

D ispensing jazz and soul food (chicken wings) , the Black Bottom seem s to be m ost popular with so -ca lle d beatnicks and un iversity studen ts — the coffee house crow d.

T h is m ecca of jazz add icts is ensconced in a room tha t m easu res som e 50 feet in length and 15 feet in w idth. T iny dim red and green ligh ts illum inate the Black Bottom and th is m akes fo r a re a l coffee house a tm osphere .

About 75 people w ere squeezed into its sm a ll confines when we a rr iv e d . We heard English and F rench being spoken; and the m a jo rity of these day-tim e denizens w ere sipping on 25 cent coffee, muching away on fried ch icken-w ings o r r ib s (soul food), o r listen ing to the wailing s tra in s of the band.

“ Like you to m eet the o w ner,” sa id G eorge H ensley above the din of the Billy Skinner Q uarte t, who have been en tertain ing h e re since Ju ly 5 th .

We w ere led past a blach door rep le te w ith a Swift P rem ium B rand Beef ad, into a hot and g rim y furnace room , and finally into a b r ig h t-lit steam ing kitchen. C h arle s B urke, a 31 -year old

N egro who w as born and ra ised in th is c ity , w as busily supervising op era tio n s. M r. B urke, a lanky and affable man sporting a m oustache that nearly c u r ls up to h is cheeks, began to talk about h is en te rp rise .

“ T h e re ’ll be no liquor h e re ” , he said firm ly , “ but lo ts of jazz and plenty of food. B asically , I ’m

try in ’ to se ll the food and the m usic of the black people. I ’d a lso like to ex p ress the mood of the young people of M ontreal.

Science and man Prominent speakers scheduledsubject of event

"Science Week”, entitled "Science and M an,” will take place on November 15th through until N ovem ber 19th. "The aim of this event will be to show how the pure sciences are beneficial to m an.” said Eugene Smith, chairm an of the Sir George Science Students week.

The busy five day week will begin with an opening address by Principal Rae in Birks H all on the 15th of Novem ber at 1:00 p.m. There will be a procession from Birks Hall to Budge H all in the Y.M.C.A. where a formal ribbon-cutting ceremony will open the way to a two-day exhibition by various well known scientific firms, as well as by the science clubs of Sir George. Of special interest to students will be an "Electron Microscope” on display by Fisher Scientific and a demonstration model of a Video-telephone from Bell.

During the latter half of the week, a host of guest speakers will discuss topics ranging from the Easter Island Expedition to Photography from Space. A m ong these prominent dignitaries will be Colonel Edward Churchill from E xpo, Major Charles Taggart from the National Research Council, Mr. Claude Gavreau from N ordic Biochemicals, and Dr Skoryna, in charge of the Easter Island Expedition.

Also included on the agenda is a theatre in Budge Hall which will run on W esnesday from 10:00 p.m. and all day Thursday and Friday. An excellent grouping of mo ies on various scientific subjects will be show.

The Grande Finale of Science Week will be a dance held in the Ball room of the Berkley Hotel at 8:00 p.m. Friday evening. The dance is semi-formal and the tickets are $1 .25 per couple.

Clubs plan exhibitsThe science clubs of Sir George are entering exhibits

on the various fields of the sc ien ces which are beneficial to man. The Geology Club will be presenting Imperial Oil Company panels showing the drilling equipment used in the search for o il.

“ ORGANIC REVOLUTION” is the them e fo r the Biology Club’s exhibition during Science Week. The club w ill p re sen t a rep re -. sen tative spec ies from a ll the phyla of the anim al kingdom in the fo rm of an evolutionary tr e e .

The display by the S ir George chap te r of the C .I.C . th is y ea r w ill fea tu re a dem onstration of “ C r y o g e n e t i c s - t h e science of ex trem e cold” .

Accept China as a forceFrederick R ossal, in his address to the delegates

and guests of the 7th Annual Seminar on International Affairs, expressed the opinion that the United States, and other western nations should accept China as the great force she is , “ because China is a far greater threat as an outcast than as recognized nation.”

“ However, th is w ill take many y ea rs , for only affluence brings m oderation, and China is ju s t beginning to ra is e her standard of living.

M r. N ossal exp ressed the thought that there w ill be a lessen ing of Chinese Comm unism , and that th is is known by many in W ashington, but the Johnson reg im e does not wish to see th is . He then declared that it would be d isasto ro u s for the A m ericans to get out of Vietnam, but that they should develop m ore humane m ili­ta ry methods.

Although it would be difficult to do, M r. N ossal decla red , W as­hington m ust come into agreem ent with C hinese. The difficulty lies in the fact that the C hinese a re a lm ost as rig id in th e ir policies as the A m ericans.

The Chinese have done many good things, M r. N ossal said, despite th e ir dangerous doctrine, and m ore positive asp ec ts of the

M r. R ossal began his rem ark s by sta ting that the Chinese com ­m unist influence is waning in South-E ast A sia, a s shown by the b reak up of the A fro-A sian talks th is yea r.

He went on to say that he has the g re a te s t adm iration for the Chine, but that the Peiking reg im e has made se r io u s e r r o r s in alienating its two la rge neigh- bourgs, the USSR and India.

“ The Chinese w ill not en ter the w ar in V ietnam ,” Mr R ossal s ta ted , “ un less Chinese te r r ito ry is d irec tly attacked, fu therm ore they do not see any fu ture in A sia for the United S tates, thus they feel that tim e is on th e ir s id e .”

He also expressed the opinion that the A m ericans a re in Vietnam mainly for the purpose of stopping the sp read of Com­m unism , and that they a re waiting for the inevitable m oderation of C hinese policy before they leave.

Americans should get outThe Am ericans should get out of Vietnam. This view

was expressed by Dr. Robert S. Browne'to the delegates and guests

’A ffairs.of the 7th Annual Seminar on International

D r. Brown lived in Vietnam for six y e a rs and is very fam ilia r with the people and land and he obviously has g reat emotion and feeling for them .

He s ta r te d by giving som e of ,the background of modern Indo-

1 China, p a rticu la rly V ietnam . The im portant fac to r in V ietnam ’s recen t H isto ry has been i t ’s ru le by F ran ce , who assum ed tha t it

i- would h a v e perm anent contro l over the a re a , he said . However,

- W orld War II changed th is and • '"awoke feelings of independance In

the V ietnam ese. The F rench w ere not w illing to conceed an eight year w ar ensued, leaving Vietnam devastated and F rance se riously weakened. The 1954 spring Geneva C onference brought the h o stilitie s

~ »to an end.r The nationalist reb e ls ranged

from conservative m andarins wtio wished to rep lace the F rench pow er by th e ir own, to the social

— re fo rm e rs who envisioned a middle c la ss tran sfe ren ce to pow er, to those who favoured a com plete

Y reorgan ization of the society along com m unistic lines.

The tru ce provisions of 1954 divided the country into a com m u­n is t and a non-com m unist portion . The U nisted S tates undertook to play a leading ro le in the non­com m unist southern section , and th is rapidly developed into “ The o bsessive anti-com m unist passion so dom inant in A m erican foreigh po licy” .

A d isa s tro u s blunder occu rred when the A m ericans allied them ­selves with the old M andarin c la s s and the Roman Catholic Church, and it was only rea lized when the Diem governm ent destroyed the nationalist non-com m unistic socia l refo rm groups, the doctor said .

D r. Browne went on to s ta te that he strugg le which is now raging in Vietnam is basica lly a continuation of the struggle between th e .so c ia l revo lu tion ists and the soc ia l conservatives.

The social revolu tion ists, under the nam e of the National L ibera tion F ront, a re heavily in favour of Comm unism as the only solution for developing and Independant V i e t n a m . T his groups view s approach a “ Religious fan a tic ism ”

Problem (an be solved in 3 yrs.

Village Chiefs Keyin Vietnam“ W estern arm s and men can lick the problem in Viet Nam within 3 yea rs.’

w as a quote read by Dr. Bernard Fall from Time M agazine-1950.The occasion was the opening

of the International Seminar; thespeech followed a banquet at La Poudriere on St. Helen’s Island.

which is daily dem onstrated in its valour against the overw helm ing A m erican m ilita ry pow er, D r. Browe told the sem in ar de liga tes .

Even though the non-com m unists may not ag ree with the F ron t, they a re in open contem pt of the un- d isguisedly colonial re la tionsh ip with the United States, he said .

It seem s that Washington has decided to seek a m ilita ry victory in V ietnam , Dr. Browne went on to add, and lias done so with the full rea lisa tion that th is can only be achelved by extensive m ilita ry fo rce . But, Dr. Browne said that po litical v ictory does not follow from m ilitary v icto ry .

D r. Browne visited Vietnam th is sum m er and managed to talk to many of the V ietnam ese; he felt ttiat m ost of the people would like to give the National L ibera tion Force a hand at governing the

country, and take the chance that it would tu rn Com m unist.

He went on to say and over again that th e re seem s to be an a tom ospher of la ten t an ti- A m erican ism in V ietnam . T h is seem ed to be the case with every group of people he talked to whether they w ere C atholics of B uddists, o r college students. The only c la s se s that w ere satisfied with the A m erican policy w ere the m ilita ry , and the businesse men, but th ese had purely se lfish reasons, he said .

D r. Browne sum m ed up by saying that he felt that the “ fundam ental conflict in V ietnam is a V ietnam q u arre l which can only lie solved in a V ietnam ese w ay-ultim ately by the V ietnam ese th em se lv es .” T h e r e f o r e the A m ericans should get out of V ietnam.

D r. F a ll, an expert on Southeast A sian a ffa irs , gave his opinion on the V iet Nam situation .

“ T h is is the last moving fron tie r in the w orld . It is the only place w here the p rize is left to the sw if t.”

T he problem was quickly brought out by D r. F a ll. He explained that the coun try ’s population lie s witli the v illages, that the students and g en e ra ls a re “ in sign ifican t.”

Ttie only way to reach the v illa g e rs , he sa id , is through the ir ch ie fs . With the v illage chiefs on the side of the S tates, South Viet Nam w ill be on the side of the U.S., he a s s e r te d .

“ T e r r o r ” w as a lso mentioned by the doctor. The V ietcongsought th is contro l through the v illage ch iefs but over the past few y ea rs the Vietcong have killed between 12 and 1G thousands of these sm all o ffic ia ls .

“ T h is e ssen tia l contact has been lo s t .” D octor F all put ttie basic question to h is audience. “ Who will reg a in the confidence of the f a r m e rs ? ” “ And it is not n e c e ss ­a r ily f o r e i g n co n tro l,” he em ptiasized, “ for North Viet Nam is a lso strongly behind the guerilla w a r fa re .”

Ttie distinguished speaker then c h a n g e d the topic sligh tly . “ Twenty thousand A m erican students a re in te rested in ttie Viet Nain p roblem -out of 3 m illion .” C o n tra rily , 05% of t l i e p e o p l e support the P r e s i d e n t on Viet N am .”

“ M ore people a re in favour of the V iet Nam w ar than with ttie m ost popular c iv ilian p ro g ra m .” It was D r. F a l l’s conclusion that the P res id en t “ m ust tiave given a good explanation of tiis p o licy .”

But w here to go from here? T he p residen t is in favour of “ unlim ited d iscu ss io n s” but ttie w a r is “ u n lo seab le .” Tt i e V i e t c o n g have not done a n y d iscu ssin g in ttie p a s t- ju s t killing he sa id .

Now wtiere does the United N ations come into ttie p ictu re? “ The United N ations doesn ’t think V iet Nam a th rea t to world p eace” . The problem lias not brought up int the assem bly .

In concluding, D r. B ernard Fall asked , “ What position should be taken by the student of in ternational a f f a ir s ? ” “ He should make up his own m ind!” in s is ted the speaker. “ Don’t end the d eb a te s” .

“ T h is y e a r ’s sem in a r w as one of the m ost successfu l ever held a t S ir G eorge; I feel that a ll the d e leg a tes have benefitted im ­m ensely and I hope we can continue to have s im ila r successfu l sem i­n a rs in the fu tu re ,” com m ented Rod Langley, chairm an of the S ir G eorge Seventh International S em inar held la s t week.

Topic fo r the annual gathering , which th is year drew students from a s fa r a s Hong Kong and a s near a s M cGill, w as Southeast A sia, one of the m ost chaotic troub le -spo ts in the w orld.

Mr. Langley said that the sem inar was beneficial to the dele­gates not only because of the work they undertook but also because their socia l contact helped to create greater understanding between peoples which were “often Ideologically, religiously and cu l­turally opposite.”

Hillel Plans Lectures

Bits and PiecesYou know, folks, a co lum nist’s life is a funny one. He s i ts down

re g u la r ly once a week and cranks out a given amount of subjective copy filled with h is own persona l p re jud ices , po litics, and p ro ca s ti- nation, but he never rea lly knows if th e r e ’s anybody out there that ever r e a d s i t . And if th e re is som eone reading it , you often wonder if you’re getting your point a c ro s s . P ersonally I fee l that I have fu lfilled a vita l function if I succeed in sim ply stim ulating thought on the p a rt of the r e a d e r s , fo r I am firm ly convinced that th ere a re many in th is venerab le in s titu tion that sim ply don’t think.

We had an open m eeting of the Society la s t week, a s you all m ust be fu lly aw are . But you might not be aw are of the “ in s id e” sto ry of why, how and by whom it was ca lled . The two (o r possib ly th ree ) people who called it w ere looking fo r an excuse, any excuse, to overthrow the studen t governm ent. T h is is not re a l “ in s id e” stuff. Two of the individuals concerned free ly adm it that it is not UGEQ that was im portant but ra th e r th e ir p erso n a l vendetta against Council in genera l, o r c e r ta in councillo rs in p a rtic u la r .

A ll they needed w as 75 s igna tu res on a petition . They lo s t th is con tes t decisively , and they lo s t the easy way. The s tra tegy w as for them to p ropose (now catch th is) a motion of CONFIDENCE in Council, and then by getting m erely one th ird plus one to vote again st, Council would fa ll. S im ilarly , the pro-C ouncil group could have motioned (get th is ) N ON-confidence, and with the sam e one th ird plus one could have kept Council in pow er. So, they lo s t, and they lo s t the hard way. A p ro -C ouncil student proposed CONFIDENCE, and the anti-group couldn’t m u s te r the requ ired one th ird .

But folks, don’t think th is thing is fin ished yet. T hese two individuals w ill ge t ano ther petition of 75 nam es (anyone w ill sign a petition), and ca ll an open m eeting. And they w ill continue to do th is until Council fa l ls .

So you se e , d ea r student, you a re being used . By two people. T h is , by the way, is a ll in the nam e of dem ocracy. What can you do about it? T h ere a re th ree solu tions.a) Don’t sign petitions of perso n a l vendetta.b) Show up en m asse a t open m eetings a s your responsib ility a s a

The f i r s t of these th ree events will be held on Monday evening, N ovem ber 15 at 8:15 p.m . in Room 132 of the Leacock Building on the M cGill Campus with P ro fe sso r Paul W eiss, P ro fe sso r of Philoso­phy at Yale U niversity , a s guest speaker on the topic of “ The N ature of God” .

D r. W eiss is known as one of the m ost d istinguished philoso­p h ers in the United S tates and has played an im portant ro le in prom oting the exchange of

philosophical ideas during a long and provocative c a re e r a s scho la r and teach er.

The second event w ill be held on Monday evening, N ovem ber 22, at 8:15 P .M ., again in Room 132 of the Leacock Building, and will have a s its guest le c tu re r , D r.

D r. Kaufmann has chosen fo r h is topic, “ The C ris is in M orality” .

valid un less they specifica lly s ta te the reason fo r calling the open m eeting. The petition should c lea rly s ta te that the group is objecting to a p a rtic u la r action. T his would mean that another m eeting could not be ca lled on the question of UGEQ.

Folks, it is n ’t much, and it is n ’t te r r ib ly effective, but, in our dem ocratic society th is is the way it is . . .

AUCC calls for increase in federal aidVANCOUVER (CUP) - The

Association of U niversities and C olleges of Canada has called for an immediate increase of $3. in the federal government’s per capita grant.

This increase, proposed by the Bladen report, would ra ise the grant for education from $2. to $5.

The AUCC Friday passed a resolution: “ That the government be urgently requested to authorize this increase within the present fisca l yea r .”

The resolution, moved by Dr. J.A . Corry of Queen’s University in Kingstpn, asked for the immediate increase because “ the present state of university financing is c r it ica l,”

The AUCC also asked their board of directors to establish a comm ittee to study all aspects of accessib ility to post-secondary education.

This would include “ Financial assistance to students.”

Dean Vincent Bladen said here Thursday: “ The recommendation of a $5. grant is based on the funds available to the un iversities, including fees at the present le v e l.”

“ This grant would not put any province in so strong a position that it could, without lo ss of quality or development, abandon revenue received from fe e s .”

“ To eliminate fees , the universities must find money elsew h ere,” said the author of the Bladen report.

"If the federal government provide more if fees are elim inated .”

On student demonstrations against the report, Bladen said: “ All the cr itic ism s made of the report were made to us in the course of our inquiry.”

“ We heard them and we considered them and made our recom m endations. ’ ’

“Nothing I have heard since makes me want to apologize for them or reconsider them ,” he said.

The grant and student aid resolutions w ere passed during the final session of the five-day conference which attracted 300 delegates from universities and co lleges across Canada.

The conference opened Monday and for the first two days com m ittees met behind closed doors.

Corry: Students must pay

The open session s began Wednesday with an address by Corry, the association’s president la st year.

He said university students must continue to pay fees .

“ If our resources were lim itless and governments boundlessly generous, the considerations for free tuition would be different.”

“ But we have no evidence that either of these conditions can be met in the near future.”

“ If we are to have enough government support to keep the

u n iv e rsity a w orthwhile p lace to go, those who can b ear a share of the cost of th e ir education m ust continue to do s o .”

“ Student aid needs carefu l a ttention and m ore money, but the c u rre n t cam paign fo r fre e tuition and 1 ‘u n iv e rsa l acce ss ib ility ’ tends to obscure the fundam ental Is s u e s .”

C o rry also w arned that in c reased support from govern­m ents might re su lt in increased in tervention in un iversity a ffa irs .

“ If the taxpayer is w illing to concede big expenditu res on u n iv e rs itie s , he may well say the governm ent should stop som e of the nonsense he thinks goes on th e re ” , he said .

C o rry ’s speech was followed by a re p o r t from the AUCC’s executive d irec to r , D r. G.C. Andrew.

A U CC work outlinedHis re p o r t gave an outline of

the work done by various AUCC com m ittees during the yea r.

He a lso said p lans a re underway fo r a survey “ of the developm ent needs of un iversity lib ra r ie s to 1980.”

“ A com m ittee on co rp o ra te aid to h igher e d u c a t i o n with r e p r e s e n t a t i o n from the u n iv e rs itie s and business has also been e s tab lish ed ,” said Andrew.

D uring T hu rsday ’s m eeting, Bladen a lso advocated incom e tax concessions to enable m arrie d women to fill un iversity teaching p osts.

“ The num ber of highly educated women we have in the country is a g ro ss ly untapped sou rce of staff fo r u n iv e rs it ie s .”

“ P e rh a p s the federa l govern­m ent could make som e tax arrangem en t so women te a c h e rs would be able to make a deduction fo r co sts involved in em ploying a housekeeper to look a fte r husbands and fa m ilie s .”

He a lso suggested u n iv e rs itie s should not in s is t on le c tu re r s having docto ra tes before being 'allowed to teach.

He was com m entating on D r. Claude B isse ll’s sta tem en t that the problem of re c ru itin g s ta ff to m eet the needs fo reca s t by the Bladen re p o r t was te rrify in g .

B isse ll is p residen t of the U niversity of Toronto.

The re p o r t says that during the next 10 y e a rs , 2,800 new s ta ff will have to be rec ru ited annually a c ro s s Canada to m eet u n iv er­s i t ie s ’ needs.

B isse ll said he felt th e re had not been enough em phasis on the p roblem of m eeting the needs s tre s s e d in the repo rt.

D r. Edward F. Sheffield, re s e a rc h d irec to r for the AUCC, said he “ expects the teaching supply to keep up with the demand. ’ ’

University enrolment doubled

“ In the past 10 y ea rs u n iv e rs ity enro lm ent in Canada has a lm ost doubled and we have been able to find enough te ac h e rs to s ta ff the u n iv e rs itie s , ” he said.

Sheffield also proposed two steps to stop the “ brain d ra in ’ ’ to the U.S.

The f i r s t is an information p rogram to te ll Canadian students in the U.S. about job opportunities in Canada.

The o ther is fo r individual u n iv e rs itie s to seek out students studying in the U.S. to offer them jobs.

The final session Friday d iscussed the associa tion ’s brief to the federal and provincial governm ents on the Bladen report, passed reso lu tions and elected o ffic ie rs .

The p roposa ls suggested by the b rie f and the rep o rt about financing m edical education cam e under sev e re c ritic ism from the A ssociation of Canadian Medical C olleges.

Under th is weighting form ula m edical and dental students would have a weighting of th ree , f irs t and second y ear a r ts students one and graduate students a weighting of five.

(Under th is form ula financing p rogram g ran ts to un iversities would be based on the num ber of students in graduate and profes­sional schools ra th e r than on the to tal num ber of students in the u n iversity .)

(F o r exam ple, a un iversity with a la rg e num ber of graduate students would receive m ore than one with many undergraduate a rts students even though the two might have the sam e total enrolm ent.)

New ideas are funny things-they crop up a t the most unusual

places. Sometimes they seem like an accident, but are usually the

result o f hours, even years of study and research.

For students, this study and research takes the form of reading-

not just the required texts but a supplementary VARIETY which sow

the seeds of new ideas. You will be leading your community in the

next decade and new ideas will be vital to your existance

We have 4,500 new ideas at the paperback store.

After a lull of several weeks, the action is about to pick up once more. The long-awaited Varsity basketball and hockey seasons are about to com mence.

Our hockey team is , on paper, probably the best team in the history of the University. The top line in the confe­rence, Alex Matthew, Bob Berry and Trevor Kerr will return in tact. Altogether this line scored 66 goals in a relatively short season. Also returning are Bob Shatilla, Bill Ardell, Harry Wenger, Bob Stewart, Warren Hale and a ll-s ta r goalie Brian C h a p m a n . Newcom ers like Bob Eastman, Phil Sutton, Teddy O’Brien, Hector McFaydenand'1 Ron Graham (well, alm ost new) provide the neucleus of a team which should sweep the conference without the slightest bit of trouble.

Their greatest opposition will come from them selves. Overconfidence has killed many a potentially-great team . Ask the B.C. Lions. Here was a team that had sprung from a the depths of mediocrity to a championship team in a few short year’s under Dave Skrein leadership. This year they were supposed to be even stronger with their new editions and a “ matured” ball club. The only trouble was that they beleived the glowing reports of the “ experts” and wound up a dism al fourth and out of the playoffs. The sam e thing could very well happen to our hockey team. They have been champions for two consecutive years, and boast a vastly — improved squad this season. When the end of the season com es, I hope our situation is as good as it is now.

The basketball situation looks slightly worse, yet slightly better than hockey. The team is a young, rather inexperienced one. The competition will be stiff, for Carleton Ravens are ranked third in the nation and the cadets from RMC will a lso field a strong team . However, nobody on the team will have the slightest reason to feel overconfident, because they know they will have to fight for every point they get. The talent is there, but they will have work hard to get the best milage from it. They realize this point, and Fred Whiacre will make sure they keep realizing a ll-season . We can expect a lot of exciting play from our hoopsters this year.

Last week the names of this year’s hockey captains were announced. Trevor Kerr and Alex Matthew were elected co-captains by a vote of their team m ates and Ron Grahamand Hector McFayden, two defencemen, were appointed alternate captains by coach Paul Arsenault. Alex and Trevor finished 1-2 in scoring last year, Ron played for the Verdun Maple Leafs and Hector starred with the Calgary Spurs under form er Canadian and Maple Leaf great Bert Olmstead.

It was a disappointing race for S inger who had done well a ll season and was looking forw ard to placing righ t behind W illiam son.

Carleton cagers picked to winWith the new 1965-1966 basketball season creeping around the bend, the time is

right to render p re-season predictions. Our varsity hoop squad will be competing with the Ottawa — St-Lawrence circuit, composed of the following team s; Carleton, R.M.C. Vishop’s , Sir George, St. Pat’s, Macdonald, Loyola, C.M.R., Ottawa u., and Sherbrooke. To qualify for a play-off position, a team must finish amongst the top four.

TREVOR XERRT his y ear w ill m ark T rev e r

K e r r ’s th ird y ea r a s a G eorgian re g u la r . L ast season , T rev . led the V ars ity squad in goals with 27 and fin ished 4th in league sco ring with 44 points. The 20 y e a rs old cen tre in 3 rd year Comm , has been e lec ted co -cap ta in th is season along with Alex M atthew. In his fresh m an year T rev o r finished second in team sco ring with 36 po in ts.

A 5’10” , 165 pounder, his main a ttr ib u te s a re am azing puck- handling ability and devastating sho t. An all-round athete , T revo r rep re sen ted S ir G eorge on the V ars ity tennis team and on the A thletic Council. His de te rm ina­tion and playing ability w ill make him a key man in coach A r­sen au lt’s p lans.

The general concensus is that C arleton , la s t y e a rs O .S .L .A .A .’s d ivision cham pions led by top s c o re r , Tommy G orm an, will rep ea t its enviable feat. Another pow er house will be the team from R.M .C. who play S ir George at home November 12th.

L ast y ear R.M .C. won twenty and lo s t seven gam es. Also, six top men a re re tu rn in g back from la s t y e a r’s squad. Scouting rep o rts on R .M .C. a re that they a re in excellen t physical condition, good ba ll hand lers, s tro n g under the boards, and p o sess many fine sh o o te rs , such as Jim Leach, Bob M ason, and Gordy B urbidge. R .M .C .’s op tim istic coach, Hank T attarchuck expects to win the title th is y ea r. T hese two team s should be the c la s s of the league, but, l e t ’s not forget Sir G eorge.

Liberal Club Policy

1965-66Recognition of Mainland China

Since Canada has alw ays been a staunch suppo rte r of the United N ations, and since the United N ations cannot work effectively without including Com m unist China: a country whose population to ta ls one th ird of the to tal world population, we believe that the F ed era l Governm ent should officially recognize Comm unist China and allow The P eoples Republic of China full m em bership in the United N ations so that a b e tte r attem pt can be made to su p erv ise her ac tiv itie s .

A Canadian National Anthem

Now tha t Canada has its own d istinctive national flag, we feel i t is tim e that the people of Canada have th e ir own official national antham . We th e re fo re recom m end the official passage of legislation making “ O C anada” our officia l national anthem .

Oath of Allegiance

We feel that becoming a Canadian is an honour for im m igran ts. H owever, th is honour should not req u ire an individual to sw ear an oath of a llegiance to God. We there fo re feel that the wording of the Oath of A llegiance to Canada be should changed to om it any re fe ren ce to God o r re lig ious belief.

Legal Age of Majority

In the P rovince of Quebec a c itizen can now vote in a p rovincial e lection a t the age of eighteen, how ever, an individual is s t il l considered a minor until the age of tw enty-one and cannot sign h is own name independently without paren ta l consent. It is our contention that a c itizen of eighteen y ea rs of age can ac t in a m ature and com petent m anner and that the legal age of m ajority should be reduced from tw enty-one to eighteen.

Travelling Libraries

The p resen t governm ent has g rea tly im proved the educational standards in the province of Quebec and has em phasized education a s the key to the successfu l growth and developm ent of Quebec. However, ce rta in a re a s rem ain devoid of adequate read ing m ateria l. We believe tha t the P rov incia l Governm ent should estab lish a trave lling lib ra ry system in o rd e r to a ssu re that a ll c itizens may be given the opportunity to be enlightened and to contribute m ore fully to the su ccess of Quebec.

Dirve-ln Theatres

Quebec is experiencing a new degree of enlightenm ent in the soc ia l and cu ltu ral fie lds. Expo ‘67 is only one endeavor which exem plifies the p ro g ressiv e cu ltu ra l expansion of the province. Since Quebec is attem pting to encourage to u rism so a s to insure the su ccess of these g rea t p ro jec ts , we consider it im portant that the estab lishm ent of th e a tre s of the “ d riv e - in ” v a rie ty be p e rm itted in the province in o rd e r to provide g re a te r deversification of en terta inm en t fa c ilitie s fo r the mutual benefit of to u r is ts and c itizen s .

Federal Aid to Education

Since higher education is a n ecessa ry p re req u is ite fo r the su ccessfu l developm ent of Quebec, and since the r is in g cost of h igher education has made it increasing ly difficult fo r young people to obtain th is education; the F ed e ra l G overnm ent has offered to financially a s s is t needy students in a ll provinces without im peachm ent of P rov incia l Autonomy. It is our feeling that the p re se n t governm ent of Quebec should make available to Quebec studen ts a ll the benefits now available to students in o ther provinces under the F ed e ra l P lan.

Bilingual Signs

Quebec has recen tly em barked on a vigorous p rogram of highway construction and developem ent. Since tra ffic signs m ust be read ily understood by all m o to ris ts in o rd e r to keep these super highways functioning in accordance with o rig inal plans, we feel tha t rou te signs on su p er highways should be bilingual and that these a fo resa id signs have d ifferen t se ts of colours fo r each language in o rd e r to fac ilita te recognition a t high speeds. These signs should be put up a s soon as possib le especia lly on the T rans-C anada highway.

Canadians:Young do we need them

by Joel H A R T T

One of the most exciting and interesting proposals made in the April 5th Throne Speech called for the establishm ent of Company of Young Canadians.

In the w ords of the Throne Speech, “ You will be asked to approve the estab lishm ent of a company of young C anadians, through which the energ ies and ta len ts of youth can be en lis tes in p ro jec ts fo r economic and socia l developm ent both in Canada and ab ro ad .”

Why do we need a Company of Young C anadians?

T here a re a re a s , both in Canada and in o ther p a rts of the world, which a re not fully developed because of poverty, illness, inadequate education and tra in ing , and the lack of opportunities for work. Within any one geographical a rea , the m e d i c a l , econom ic, socia l, educational sy s tem s may be insufficient for the needs of the population of that a re a . In o rd e r to help im prove the opportunities of people who a re p resen tly at a disadvantage, the Company of Young Canadians will se rv e as the ‘fron t-line tro o p s’ in a general assau lt upon the conditions which inhibit the full utilization of the p o t e n t i a l re s so u rc e s of a com m unity. It is the Company’s intention to work WITH and not FOR any troubled a re a . The CYC

volun teers will a s s is t m em bers of any developing a re a a s s e s s th e ir own needs, and then will furnish w hatever ass is tan ce it can in the form of educational, technical, and any o ther help possib le to enable the m em bers of the developing a re a help them selves.

At le a s t as im portant a motivating force in the form ation of the Company of YoungCanadians is the need to channel the r e s t le s s ­ness and idealism of youth into the com pletion of concrete and socially useful p ro jec ts both at home and a b r o a d . As P rim e M inister P earso n s ta ted in his convocation a d d r e s s to McGill U niversity recen tly , “ Young people today . . . want to make a fo rceful, concre te , and d irec t contribution to the kind of society they feel is worth living and fighting fo r .”

To put th is thought som ewhat d i f f e r e n t l y : Youth today isENGAGE. Young people in th is country a re desirous of becoming “ involved in th e ir comm unity and in th e ir country and w orld” .

The O rganizing S ecre ta ry of the CYC, Duncan Edmonds, has put the R A I S O N D’ETRE of the

Company th is way: “ T here is a w idespread feeling among many Canadians that the youth of our country is m ore anxious than ever before to play a leading and sensitive ro le in national and in ternational life , and a lso , that young people today a re concerned that th e ir contribution be as d irec t and a s concrete as poss ib le . The idealism and energy of young people can be a vita l and potent fo rce in a dem ocratic comm unity; it is to give p rac tica l expression to th is idealism and to u tilize th is energy the the Company of Young Canadians is being c rea ted .”

The Company of Young Canadians is the institu tion which can provide the channel through which the needs of the com m unity can be se rv ed by those whose ta len ts and energ ies might otherw ise be w asted for lack of s tru c tu red guidance. If the Company of Young Canadians can achieve th is purpose, then the P rim e M in iste r’s belief w ill be fulfilled, “ that LA COMPAGNIE DES JEUNES C ANADIENS w ill a lso become one of the m ost v ib ran t and exciting national in stitu tions that we have ev e r had in C anada.”

Canada Student Loan Plan

D uring the m inority L ibera l governm ent step s have been taken to m eet an unexpectedly la rg e demand in the cu rren t academ ic year fo r loans under the Canada Student L oans Plan. M. P earson said that action was taken a s soon as it becam e apparent that the demand fo r student'loans in som e p rovinces was exceeding expecta­tions.

The p ro ced u res and c r i te r ia fo r loans, a s worked out and ag reed among the fed e ra l and prov incial governm ents and announced by the M in ister of Finance in the House of Commons on June 11, a re now being applied. These c r i te r ia include s tandards re la tin g to the financial need of the Individual student. It is now evident that m ore students a re qualifying fo r loans than can be accom m odated within the cu rren t a llocations of som e prov inces fo r th is academ ic year.

The provincial governm ents have been notified that the federa l governm ent w ill recom m end to P arliam en t that provincial a llo ­cations be in creased to such a degree that no student who can m eet the ag reed standards of elig ib ility need be denied a loan because of the s ize of the p rov incial allocation.

The im m ediate situation can be m et under regu lations issued under Section 13 (o) ot the Canada Student Loans Act which p rovides tha t if provinces is su e c e r tif ic a te s o f lo a n elig ib ility to students in an amount exceeding provincial a llocations, the excess will be charged to prov incial allocations fo r the succeeding y ea r. The governm ent will ask P a rliam en t to take action as soon as possib le , through an app rop ria te am endm ent to the A ct, that w ill abso rb any ex cess in ce r tif ic a te s issued in the c u rre n t year and make a charge to the succeeding y e a r ’s allocation un­necessa ry .

M r. P ea rso n sa id th e re is th e re ­fore no reason why prov inces should not continue to is su e c e r t i ­fica tes of loan elig ib ility to a ll qualifying students is need of loans in the c u rre n t yea r.

The Canada Student Loans P lan went into operation in Septem ber, 1964. It m akes possib le govern­ment guaranteed bank loans to students who need financial a s s is ­tance to continue stud ies above the s e c o n d a r y s c h o jo l leve l in u n iv e rs itie s and technical and vocational Institu tions. The loans may be authorized up to a maximum $1,000 a y ea r. In te re s t is paid by the fed e ra l governm ent while the student continues fu ll-tim e stud ies and fo r six months a fte r leaving h is o r h e r * educational institu tion .

In i t s f i r s t y ea r of operation ending la s t June 30, loans to ta lling an estim ated $26,400,000 were made to approxim ately 42,500 students.

OH ! ! C AN AD AToday Canada is at the crossroad in its h istory. The

choice of this nation is either to take a p rogressive, rea listic road to mature econom ic development; or to d igress into petty nineteenth century provincial nationalism.

T he election that has now run its course has been one of unimportant issu es on the part of the opposition. John Diefenbaker has continually attacked the Liberal Party for its recent involvement in dishonest practices. Does this gentleman forget that his hero Sir John A. Macdonald was known to over indulge in the consumption of alcoholic sp irits. In the area of French-English relations a recent statement by a Quebec student leader said that the Conserva s t a t e m e n t by a Quebec student leader said that the Conservative Diefenbaker is the one who is best aiding the separatist cause by not recognizing Quebec’s legitim ate rights; as was recently exem plified in the Balcer Rebellion.

The socia list dream ers of Canada are proclaiming that they will put the country on the road to econom ic prosperity and growth, so what e lse is new? They advocate such m easures as free education, more social welfare, etc, ad nauseum; but they fail to te ll the people just where the money will come from. Perhaps they feel; it will come like manna from heaven, the only failing with this is that not one of their leaders has-yet to achieve the status of the biblical prophet.

The one other party, or should I say one and a half p arties, really advocate very little, except that it would greatly aid the pulp and paper industry of Canada to printi funny money, and to have guided tours to Ethipoia which were first started by Mr. Robert Thompson.

Thus we are left with only one party that can truly unify this great nation of ours. Liberal Cabinets have never been fraught with inter-fractional fighting. Mr. Pearson has never had to lower h im self to such tactics as putting on shows of solidarity, with departed leaders returning to the fold just in time for an election. This reminds me of a book named “ Death Valley Road With the Vultures Zooming In” .

Canadian L iberals recognize the fact that our neighbour to the south is an a sset not a detriment to Canada. True, Canada and the United States may not see eye to eye on all issu es, but the two countries do enjoy mutual feelings of respect and understanding. For Canadians and Americans are in a fortunate position of havingthe longest dem ilitarized border in the world.

Thus with all the pros and cons of all the parties investigated the Liberal Party is the logical choice to lead a united Canada along the road of advancing twentieth century growth.

Letter from a freshetteI had always taken an interest in Canadian politics but

had never had the opportunity to participate actively in this field . When I entered Sir George this year I became aware of the executive of several political clubs on campus. So, at Clubs Rally Day I decided to look around.

had the opportunity toI had alw ays been a lib e ra l and so I na tu ra lly went over to the L ib era l booth. At the booth I m et the executive of the club and they answ ered a ll my questions p e rta in ­ing to the group and they fu rth er explained why they felt th e ir o rganization w as im portan t. I was s t il l not too su re of what purpose the club se rved in re la tion to the L ibera l P a rty nor w as X ce rta in of th e ir a c tiv itie s here in Sir G eorge, but from what little I did le a rn that day, I fe lt th a t by joining I would be making the righ t m ove.

At the f i r s t club m eeting that w eek, ce rta in aspec ts which had before seem ed vague to me becam e c le a r , I now understood the s ig n ir icance of the c lub ’s ex is tance . I volunteered to work and I was im m ediately given a position on the m em bersh ip com m ittee . Due to my partic ipa tion in the club I have been m ore alwut Canadian po litic s and I

A statement from the PresidentThe establishment of university

political groups has become a popular movement on Canadian cam puses during the past decade. The effectiveness of these organizations, however, depends on those individuals who become the respective members.

What do we, as student Liberals, believe? F irst and forem ost, we believe in .the political philosophy of modern dem ocratic liberalism . We stand strongly for freedom of thought, and of expression , and even though we are affiliated with the federal and provincial Liberal parties, we do not serve as “ yes-m en ” , but we express our opinions openly, even though som e might be contrary to party policy.

As student liberals, we have set before ourselves certain goals. These goals contain more than just the explanation of the liberal philosophy on campus. As m em bers of various Liberal federations we are able to a ir our views and these in turn are brought to the proper offic ia ls, and more important, they are respected and often serv e as a guide to government as the view s of Canadian youth.

At Sir George, we are prim arily E nglish-speaking s t u d e n t s in a

predominantly F r e n c h - s p e a k i n g province. We are quite aware of the fact that we are in a minority and we aim to fight for our rights.

We fee l that the most important is su e s facing Canada today are education, the protection of minority rights, and national unity. We have a vision of a great Canadian nation; a nation with a distinct identity which can be built only by free men. Reforms are n e e d e d and so is criticism — constructive criticism . We feel that a great short-com ing on the part of many Canadian students is their failure to com m it. We as Liberals have committed o u rselves to a political philosophy and we seek to reform from within.

We believe in the individual. We believe that Canada’s future greatness can be developed only if free men strive toward these goals in a democratic society and by due p rocess of law. L iberalism is grounded on the unshakeable belief in the dignity and worth and common sense of the indivi­dual — the student Liberal, thus commits h im self to the betterment of the society in which he lives.HARVEY S. KALNITSKY President — SGWU Liberal Club

Report from Provincial AffairsThis year, the Liberal Club

executive contains two V ice- Presidents. The purpose of this increase is to try to increase participation on the provincial leve l. This has also been a i d e d by my e l e c t i o n to the post of English-speaking Secretary of the Q .S.L.F.

To date this year, the club has sent representatives to the .special M a n i f e s t o C o n . m i s s i o n and to all Meetings of the General Council of the Q.S.L.F.______

We also were represented by a large delegation at the Quebec Young Liberal Fede­ration Convention w h e r e three of our resolutions were studied and two accepted.

At the S p e c i a l one-day Convention of the Q .S.L.F. Sir George was able to send thirteen delegates and was also able to p r e v e n t the passing of “ unilingualism” proposed by the University of Montreal.

For the remainder of the academ ic year, we will be

also have m eet many people who work In th is field .

Since Septem ber, I have worked fo r L ib era l candidates in the M ontreal a re a . Along with o ther club m em bers, I have had the p leasu re of m eeting and working fo r such prom inent L ibera ls a s M aurice L a m o n t a g n e , John T u rn e r, Milton Klein, and M arcel P ru d ’hom m e.

I have partic ipa ted in student po litics for only a sho rt tim e , but I feel that I have a lready accom plished m ore here that in an en tire y ear of high school. I had alw ays thought that a g ir l might not be accepted in th is a re a , but I w as proven w rong, I have become a p a rt of the L ibera l Club and I hope to rem ain an active m em ber fo r the rem ain d er of my un iversity c a re e r .

I believe that young w ell- inforrned men and women of our p rovince can help find a worthy solu tion to our c ru c ia l growth p rob lem s, if given the opportunity and the fac ts to objectively ap p ra ise the situation in an a tm os­phere of eth ical m aturity .

To me, E thical M aturity means the w illingness to re sp ec t the growing personality of o th ers , re sp e c t for d ifference, not simply to le ra tion of it . It involves trea ting o thers a s ends in them selves, not a s m eans to our ends. It involves trea tin g o th e rs with ju s ti­ce consideration , and in such a m anner a s to induce in them the ex p ression of the m ore highly developed and socially ag reeab le side of th e ir personality .

Our Quebec problem has been handled to a la rge degree on the em otional level which leads to m isunderstanding, name calling, v io lence and stereo type thinking.Now I am calling on the young le a d e rs of reason (in university

and in the business world) to com e to the fo refron t to save confederation and our province from chaos, hate and political opportun ists . Our young lead e rs m ust not fall sh o rt of the human w holeness and civic conscience which the cooperative ac tiv itie s of c itizensh ip re q u ire . Our young men of va lues, ideas and positive a tti- fo rce in th is age of minute division of activ ity and intense conflict of sp ec ia l in te re s ts .

Our un iversity p ro fe sso rs and b u sin ess . L eaders m ust give our youth the opportunity to lead a s s is ­tance in developing m otives, a ttitu d es and habits that w ill enable our youth to inform him self and think for him self throughout life, w ithout re ly ing on fa lse trad itional b e lie fs .

Q uebec’s young le ad e rs will be the people which w ill and must take our province through th is difficult periode of growth to its p roper p lace in C onfederation, and I have g reat faith that they will not r e tre a t from th e ir re sp o n sib ilitie s .

Focus on education financing“ As students we a re try ing to

focus attention on the need to adapt p re sen t m eans of financing education to ou r modern society . F ir s t step s have been made; the u ltim ate goal has been accepted. It is ou r job to com plete the middle section.

“ The abolition of tuition fees is not synonomous with free edu­cation. With education that is tru ly free , th e re w ill be no b a r r ie r s to higher study by those qualified, be they m onetary , sociological, psychological o r w hatever. A tuition fee is just one of these b a r r ie r s . T here a re o ther co sts — living expenses, books, in s ­trum en ts and lo ss of wages to fam ilies who need all the revenue they can get. T here a re o ther non-fiscal b a r r ie r s — e litism in adm ission standards, social p o s i­tion, the fact that secondary school exam inations often fail to p ro p erly judge a studen t’s college potential. Obviously, free education cannot occur until o ther social p rob lem s a re attacked and until our educa­tional objectives and standards undergo a m ajor overhaul.

“ But we can take a f i r s t step by p re ss in g fo r the abolition of tuition fees. They a re , at p resen t, a hindrance to many people who seek a un iversity education. They a re an obsolete c a rry -o v e r from the days of rugged individualism . Education is not a com m odity that should have to

be purchased . Some contend that a un iversity degree should be earned by the sw eat of one’s brow. T his is rid icu lous. The aim of the un iversity is not to fo rce people to make money. It is to educate. The m a te ria lis tic values of the business com m unity m ust not be forced on the student. If one must “ e a rn ” a degree in th is way, all ch ild ren of rich paren ts m ust be b a rre d from adm ission, under p resen t regulations.

“ connections” through th e ir fam ilies and friends can get jobs m ore read ily than those le s s fo rtunate .

“ That a ll those qualified DON’T get to un iversity was pointed out by the recen t Flem ing study in O ntario. In the survey of G rade 13 students, it was shown that one q u a rte r of those who didn’t go to college had b e tte r re co rd s than alm ost half of those who did.

“ The L ib e ra l governm ent has taken s tep s to rem ove som e of these b a r r ie r s . F o r the f i r s t tim e , in te re s t- f re e loans w ere made available to students. But th is is not a ll; the governm ent has recognized that loans a re not the w hole-answ er — that they do m ortgage o n e ’s fu ture to a ce rta in extent. T h e re fo re the governm ent is now about to put in a scho larsh ip plan — to make money available to those qualified, for whom money is enough of a b a r r ie r to make a loan a dubious investm ent.

“ But again, th is is not the end of the L ib e ra ls ’ com m itm ent to

g reat access ib ility to higher edu­cation. The P rim e M inister has sta ted on sev e ra l occasions that colleges m ust inevitably follow the r e s t of. the education system in abolishing fees . The Finance Mi­n is te r has a lso made a com m itm ent to free tuition.

“ Since a m atte r as b road as th is re q u ire s much planning, no rash election p ro m ises have been made. Nothing disappoints and dem ora lizes so much as a p rom ise unfulfilled. Since education is a prov incial responsib ility , the provinces m ust be consulted at length befo re any federa l plan is announced. They have the right to de term ine how money will be spent — on fees reduction, on capita l expansion, on operating costs, o r w hatever. They have the right, th e re fo re , to accep to r re je c t any federa l plan. A rejec tion by even a few p rov inces would place in jeopardy any future p ro g ram s. And a hasty election prom ise could very well m eet such re jec tion .

“ T h ere fo re the L ib e ra ls have no quick answ er to the in justice of tuition fees. They do have a

reco rd of constant im provem ent in federa l financing of education. Most im portan t, they have dedicated them selves to the final goal. As a m atter of fac t, the L ibera l P re m ie r of Newfoundland has just recen tly proposed the m ost advanced education p ro g ram in Canada. He has not only taken the f i r s t step , he has gone a long way tow ard achieving the u ltim ate objective of free education.

“ T herefo re the Canadian Uni­v e rs ity L ibera l F ederation has no hesita tion in endorsing the reso lu tion of the Canadian Union of Students calling for an end to tuition fees and g rea te r a c c e ss ib i­lity to h igher education. We, the student L ib e ra ls , join with the m em bers of CUS in urging that the h ighest national p r io r ity be attached to th is whole p ro g ram . And we p rom ise to work, along with the r e s t of the Canadian Student Community, to gain action on it by the next adm inistra tion .
