March draws7000 Quebecby Dave Roberts
Sharon LevineStudents from Montreal universi
ties, schools and CEGEPs turned out if full force yesterday in one of the largest student demonstrations in local history. Approxim ately 7000 marchers arrived at the University of Montreal yesterday evening after a walk that com m enced at M cG ill University. ,
Students gathered at U. of M .’s Centre Sportit to hear speakers laud
' n the march as a sign of student solidarity. A representative from a local taxi driver’s union asked for the same type of support for workers in the province.
As demonstrators waved signs of, “ Pouvoir Etudiant” , and chanted “ Cardinal au Bordeaux,” the first student speaker, Claude Charron, UGEQ vice-president, was introduced. Mr. Charron began by giving a cursory history of student power movements throughout the world, and then described the Quebec student movement, its origins, and its ob jectives. There was particular emphasis placed on the recent Cegep controversy, and Mr. Charron was em phatic
in declaring that this was only a beginning and that much greater things were to come. He lauded the spontaneity of the strikes at various, and denounced those individuals who have attributed the student unrest to professional agitators with Marxist and similar affiliations.
Mr. Charron not only advocates a reorganization of the Quebec system of education but a comprehensive restructuring of society. He stated that the Quebec student movement has been reproached for its reluctance to talk with Government officials, but Mr. Charron said that “ dialogue is impossible, when one party has com pletely lost confidence in the other. Further, Mr. Charron said that students have lost faith in the illusory “ Just Society", and that Quebec has been sold short since Confederation. He made repeated attacks on Jean Guy Cardinal, who he considers to be the em bodim ent of all that is undesirable in both education and society.
Furthermore, Mr. Charron said that Quebecers are tired o f being at the bottom rung of the ladder.
Mr. Charron proposes not only to ameliorate the student’s status, in Quebec, but also that of the man on the street. He feels that there is a growing awareness amongst Quebec students of social and educational evils, and this, he says, has been manifested in the students’ relatively recent agitation for change. He does not feel that this change will be instituted voluntarily by such people as Jean Guy Cardinal, but will have to be brought about by the increased participation in such demonstrations as we have recently witnessed. As examples of the direction that the student m ovem ent should take, he cites the achievements of student power agitation in such countries as France, and West Germany, and The U.S.A.. Mr. Charron feels that the CEG EPS should be continued to be occupied until such time as a satisfactory solution has been found to the problems confronting students of these institutions.
Mr. Charron concluded his speech by stating that the increasing solidarity among Quebec students, and the com m on nature o f their needs has acted to make student power a potentially cogent force in the realization of a new and better Quebec.
students also march
While several thousand students marched in Montreal yesterday, a similar demonstration of lesser proportions was taking place in Quebec City. Two hundred persons marched from Place D ’Youville to Jacques Cartier Square. M ost of the demonstrators were Laval University Science students who are presently occupying three floors in that University’s seventeen story Science Building.
Meanwhile the CEGEP situation changed over the past few hours, the CEGEP’s of Maisonneuve and Edouard M ontpetit were closed down for an “ indefinite period of "tim e" by school administrators.
Students at Jonquiere and Chicoutimi returned to classes Monday as did those at Ste. Marie. However, College Stanislas and Ecole des Beaux Arts remain occupied in this region.

Rally Supports CleaverBERK ELEY, Calif. (CPS)
- About 700 University of California students held a rally Friday, in support of students taking Social Analysis 139X, the course being taught by Black Panther leader Eldridge Cleaver and other guest lecturers.
After the rally they m arched into Sproul Hall as the 100 students who are taking the Cleaver course attempted to file their course lists.
Registrar Clinton C. Gilliam refused to accept the course lists unless 139X had been crossed out by the student. The students objected because their lists had been properly signed by their ad-

visors and a university dean. They said they would not cross the course off their lists and would try to get the Registrar’s decision changed.
The rally on the Sproul steps, which had a disappointingly small turnout, brought out again the division among students over how to view the Cleaver issue.
Art Goldberg, a leader of the 1964 Free Speech M ovement here, told the rally, “ The Cleaver issue is a racism issue. The Regents don’ t want a black man to say anything on the campus, except for house niggers. I thought people here would realize this, but everyone keeps talking about academ ic freedom , educational reform, and credit for the course."

A.C.E. An establishment surroundedby Robert Johnston
DEN VER (CPS) -- The American Council on Education rolled out two of education’ s “ big guns” last week to talk to the 1400 delegates at its annual conference about the im portance of understanding cities.
John Gardner, speaking at a Friday (Oct. 11) lunch, said that colleges and universities in this country have been “ notably laggard” in their response to the urban crisis.
Gardner, former U.S. Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare, is director of the National Urban Coalition, a W ashington-based organization that seeks to establish city Coalitions all over the country. The aim of the Coalition is to comb political and econom ic strata of each city.
In a veiled reference to problems at Columbia University, Gardner accused many universities of being“ poor corporate citizens of theircom m unities.” M any universities which are large “ in relation to their communities” have not, he said,“ asked themselves what this implies in the way of obligations.” And he added, “ If you don ’ t get to work on that, the students are likely to get to work on you.”
Understanding of cities neededIn a keynote address the day
before Gardner spoke, Constantine Doxiadis lectured on the importance of university understanding of cities and megalopolises. “ They are expanding so fast,” he said, “ that in 30 years virtually every college and university in the country will be part of an urban or ‘m egalopolitan’ environment, whether it likes it or not.”
Doxiadis is director of the International Institute of Ekistics in Athens, Greece, a city planning com pany with projects in urban design all over the world. His institute, among other projects, is presently in the midst of a comprehensive, m ulti-m illion dollar planning study of urban developm ent in Michigan.
With characteristic flourishes and slide illustrations, Doxiadis explained his four points: “ One, cities are in crisis — a crisis so pervasivethat only complete reform of the urban system can control it. Two, cities are in crisis vis-a-vis universities -- the im pact of universities in cities is very often detrimental to the surrounding society.
“ Three, we can look now at the cities of the future -- they will be megalopolises with populations in the hundreds of millions, and the centers of education will be more important than the centers of com merce.
“ Four, we can understand and plan now for the city of the future --we can affect the quality of life in them, humanize them. We must organize them areund and out o f universities, but we have to start nowin order to have an effect 20 yearsfrom now.”
Delegates interested in studentsA typical exchange went something
like this: “ Anything happening on your cam pus?” ... “ No. (Long pause) Not yet.”
Frank Murphy was warmly applauded at an address following Doxiadis’
when he called for restraint and responsibility on everyone’ s part on campus and roundly denounced “ those anarchists, nihilists and gangsters who would destroy our universities.” .
Murphy resigned last spring from the chancellorship of the University of California’ s Los Angeles campus to becom e chairman of the board of the L.A.-based Times-M irror Co., third largest publishing com pany in the country and owner of the Los Angeles Times.
In general, however, references from the podium to “ extremism on cam pus” were few; emphasis was rather on “ responsible” student participation, with attention to understanding student demands.
National Student Association President Robert Powell made a long speech to the delegates Friday morning in an unscheduled attem pt to com municate the substance of student concerns to the administrators. He said students seek more involvement and say-so at every level of the educational processes, and cited the wave of experimental colleges across the country as evidence of students’ real, productive interest.
French econom ist Bertrand de Jou- venel presented a paper analyzing the causes of student participation in social revolution, and pointed out the international nature of student unrest.Student disturbances have common factor
Major student demonstrations in the past year have come near toppling governments in Germany, France, M exico and the United States. In each case, de Jouvenel pointed out, these disturbances have had a number of factors in com mon:
--An urban setting (whether New York City, Bonn, Paris or M exico City);
—Students’ distaste for the society into which they find themselves being inexorably thrust;
—Students’ discontent with the content and processes of their countries’ contemporary politics; and
--Discontent, usually followed up by detailed recommendatio'hs, with the content and processes of education.
In exploring these factors, de Jouvenel stated, “ I need not enlarge upon the well-known indictm ent of ‘the consumer society.’ But, if I may use old-fashioned expressions, it is entirely natural that people who are being induced to internal adornment should frown upon pressing inducem ent and increasing addiction to external adornm ent.”
Instead, he said, “ There is no more natural place for the exercise o f dem ocratic self-government than in a university, with a citizen body limited in number, of the same order as that of ancient Greek cities, and higher in intellectural developm ent than any ever before seen. Moreover, these citizens can, if they wish, turn for advice to professors standing on the sidelines. These are ideal conditions, for dem ocratic self-government. If we do not trust it under conditions, this jnust mean that we do not believe in it at all.”
Questioned about the concurrent fracas at Colorado State University over student control over the Union,
de Jovenel said he could not understand why the university would build “ these beautiful, well-equipped buildings, which we can afford none of in Europe, and then not allow the students to run them .”
Professor Robert Boguslaw of W ashington University, St. Louis, heartily agreed with de Jouvenel’s call for turning complete control of student activities and affairs over to students, but he sharply cautioned against letting this becom e a substitute for students’ involvement and concern with social issues beyond the university.
Democracy involves participation..."“ Dem ocracy,” he said, “ involves
participation in the choice of alternative courses of action. W ill the larger society allow student participation in those decisions which relate to the allocation o f resources to provide econom ic support for universities? Does a choice exist between acceptance of corrupting forms of econom ic support and institutional death?”
If it does not, he said, then “ it is tyranny of the most subtle and vicious sort.”
In another paper John Caffrey reported on an extensive investigation of “ Predications in Higher Education in the 1970’s.” Caffrey is adm inistrative affairs director of the ACE.
From a set of 36 hypothetical cases presented in a questionnaire, students, faculty and administrators listed those “ most probable” for the 1970’s, and those most desirable. Those m ost probable, in order, were:
—“ The great majority of high school graduates will take at least two years of instruction after high school;
—“ In loco parentis will be much less important than responsibility for self-regulation as a basis for codes of nonacadem ic student affairs and conduct;
--“ Faculty participation in major aspects of academ ic goverance will becom e a widely adopted practice;
- “ State-wide coordinating councils will have increasing influence over public colleges and universities;
—“ The proportion of students enrolled in private institutions of higher education will decline at an even faster rate;
- “ Significantly more Federal and state funds will go directly to students, as scholarships or loans.
Those listed as most desirable, in order (besides the first and last ones above), included:
--M ajor revision of undergraduate curricula;
-S u p p ort for the humanities and social sciences equal to that for the natural sciences; and
--Tax support from states for private colleges and universities.
By way of response to Caffrey’s presentation, Robert H. Kroepsch, of the Interstate Commission for Higher Education, quoted T. S. Eliot: “ Because the Idea and the Reality falls the Shadow,” and added :K ‘We have written, ‘Between the Desirability and the Probability falls the Shadow .’ W ho, we must ask of ourselves, is casting the shadow?”

What’s cooking?Editor; the georgian;
In having studied the present bursary crisis, I would like to point out a few facts which I am sure will be rejected by many of my fellow Georgians even though they prove to be true. But, I’ ll try anyways.
Firstly, the question of a 2( 1 raise in the interest rale on the loans. At the old rate of 5-5/8 '< students were paying $39.20 interest on their $700 loans over a one-year period after graduation, bearing in mind that the 4 years of school are interest-free.
to arrive before the end of October.
Then after sending in these com pleted applications and the government com mittee attempts to fairly
.■evaluate these forms from many thousands of Quebec students, it is surely im possible to receive the bursaries and loans for another few months.
If these facts are unacceptable to our student body, then perhaps it might be more preferable to take out a loan with the bank or Household Finance at a rate of 1 1/20 a month or 180 a year. This interest rate starts NOW , N O T after graduation.
The hike to 7-5/8' < interest will raise the interest to $52.20 yearly - namely a $13.00 raise. This raise is actually $1.08 a month and, if taken over a five- year period, 4 years of university plus one year after graduation, it is actually only 22c a month. I personally feel that if one can afford to take out a. $700 loan and pay $39.20 interest over five years then this same person can pay $52.20 over five years.
The second point in question seems to be “ When will we get our bursaries?” W ell, considering the fact that an application for an application was due by Sept. 30, 1968, we cannot faithfully expect the applications
Perhaps I am wrong, but I have seen no constructive criticism whatsoever as to how the bureaucratic system may be improved. How about some construction rather thanjust pure garbage.

Principles of democracyEditor; the georgian,
On reading the editorial entitled “ An Intellectual Gathering” in the issue of the georgian on tuesday, October fifteenth, We were aghast at the apparent bigotry and intolerance which was present in this article. Evidently, the georgian which has for long
ostensibly supported student dem ocracy has now assumed its true role; that is, that o f an organ for the advocation of totalitarian dictatorship. It seems that the georgian’ s o- pinions are the only valid ones and any opposing views can not be tolerated. It is supposed to be the right of all to hold their own views on any subject and vote as they see fit. The georgian should recognize this right and not oppose it in a manner which is both hypocritical and narrowminded.

All’s wellEditor; the georgian,
Re: Mr. W. Cooke's letter of Oct. 4, 1968, Mr. Cooke on Oct. 4 stated that he had some grievances with prices in the cafeteria. He also stated that he had some experience in the area of FOOD SERVICES.
The Students’ Association would like to take advantage of Mr. Cooke's experience by having him sit on the Food Services Committee, where his opinions may be of some value. I would appreciate it if Mr. Cooke would be so kind as to drop into the PERSONNEL OFFICE (337-4) regarding this appointment.

W L m
M O N TRE A L (CUP) - “ I have all the requirements and all the marks” , said Jean-Louis Poirier, a student at CEGEP Maisonneuve, “ but I bet I won’ t be able to go to l’ Universite next fall.”
Poirier is in his second year at the school, in the cours general or pre-university. But there are 5,000 fewer new places in the French universities (Montreal and Laval) for, the upcom ing year, than there are students like Jean-Louis Poirier.
Jean-Louis, dilemma is one of the keys to why most of the province’s CEGEP’s have been occupied by their students this past week.
The immediate problems are due mainly to administrative bungling and indifference on the part of the government. Promises for increased loans and a second French University in the city both lie unfulfilled, and poor organization and co-ordinated within the hastily put together CEG EP’s.
But the root of the mess go all the way back to La Nouvelle France and La Conquete.
Church control strong Under the French regime, the Ca
tholic Church had all educational institutions (that is, some elementary schools, a couple of convents, one trade school and two seminaries which after became the French universities) firmly under its control, and the only way for a Quebecois to get a higher education was to enter a religious order.
After the English took over, the control of the Church was strengthened, if anything. Gradually, the power Of the Church became entrenched alongside that of the English rulers, and the Church would receive an allotment of m oney in addition to the tithes to organize Catholic education.
As the English com munity grew, it too, started schools, but the two systems had little if anything to do with each other. Several attempts were made during the nineteenth century to improve the situation; during the latter half a Superintendent of Education and an advisory committee were established to centralize education. But in the French sector there seemed to be little drive for
a comprehensive secondary and postsecondary system.
The Church, in conjunction with the government, continued to run education with very little visible long- range planning. It was content to add an Ecole Normale here and a Technical School there, and somewhere along the way it set up 1’University de M ontreal and Laval to handle the College Classique graduates.
The generally m uch richer Protestant English, on the other hand, took after the Americans and set up a secondary school system that led straight to University, and the com m unity saw to it that there were enough new places in University for all financially and intellectually qualified students. There was a notable lack of English speaking trade and technical schools and an even more notable lack of demand for them.
In the main, the English Catholic schools, while run m ostly by the Church, were m odelled on the Protestant system. A similarity in term inology only tended to emphasize the almost total lack of similarity between the French and English systems. For instance, the degree awarded when a French student finishes the pre-university College Classique is called the baccalaureat (bachelor’s degree) while in the English system the bachelor’ s degree is the university degree itself. These two separate streams continued to co-exist, both financed by the public purse, with little m odification.
"La Revolution Tranquille"Then came 1960 and “ La Revolu
tion Tranquille” . For a start, the new Liberal government com m issioned an inquiry into the state of education in the province.
The Parent Report was firm in its reply: Quebec must initiate and com plete a unified public school system, making educational institutions of both language parallel and offering to both sectors secondary and postsecondary educational opportunities. Onq of the Report’s proposals was the creation o f “ Institutes” to incorporate the twelfth and thirteenth years and offer both a pre-university course and a trade and technical
curriculum. Hence the name CEGEP - College d ’Enseignement General etProfessionel.
This was in 1964. The first CEGEP’s were opened in 1967. And along with them, the Union Na- tionale government made two pledges -- a second French university in Montreal and a move toward universal accessibility.
But by themselves, the CEGEP’s mean nothing. W hat’s the use ol giving students pre-university training while making no provisions for expanded universities?
“ They take only the budding geniuses,” one CEGEPois com plained. “ I have 65% but I’m not inferior to anyone else and I want to - I deserve to - go to university. I don’t want to be a street cleaner with a fancy d iplom a.”
The old Liberal government; recognizing the problem , com m issioned the Rocher Report in 1965. It recommended the immediate construction of a second French-language university in the city. But when the Union Nationale came into office, the Report was tabled. It has been at the bottom of a big pile of papers ever since.
Last year, though, under increased pressure from UGEQ, the government promised the school would be in operation this fall. Intelligence sources in student circles say its creation was drafted as part of a bill on education presented to the legislature this summer. But the section of “ l’Universite de Quebec” never got ' before the House in any form.Loan bursary system inadequate
Another more immediate sticking point is the scandal over loans and bursaries. Back in 1966 the government set up a Comite du Plan to project the am ount that would be needed for loans and bursaries each year. Before UGEQ would send representatives to sit on it, it extracted from the government the promise that a police of universal accessibility would be pursued, and .hat the government would increase bursaries over loans.
This year the government ignored the Com ite’s recom m endation and
not only decreased the total allotment but made the greater proportion in loans. In practical terms, this means the student will have to take a $800 loan (as opposed to $700 last year) to becom e eligible for a bursary.
There is no tuition at the CEGEP’s - they are part of the public education system - but for the students who are taking the pre-university course the prospect of not being able to attend university next year is worse than bleak.
It means they will have taxed their families’ financial resources for two extra years to no purpose. Understandably, the students find this com bination of factors intolerable.
Regional disparities (ironically one of the things the CEGEP’s were created to overcome) within the network of colleges is another com plaint. Courses cancelled at the last minute, poor facilities (most are old schools and other buildings bought by the government and hastily transformed into CEGEP’s) add to the students’ ill feeling.
“ We are just test-tubes in an experiment,” one told me. “ We spend two years here but if it doesn’ t work, it’ s our tough luck.”
But these are the superficial problems, nothing that can’ t be overcome by better organization and a more concerned government. There is nothing remotely radical in these com plaints: you can’t radicalize an edu- . cation system which doesn’t exist. There are merely demands for m odernization.
However, some more basic problems are involved.
For instance, early estimates were that the relation of vocational to pre-university students would be 70%- 30%. In fact, it is almost exactly the reverse.
And worse, more than 60% of the professional (vocational) graduates have not been able to find jobs in their line of work.
Neither of these is the fault of a bungling government. Both are parts of the basic Quebec fabric - a new desire for higher education and an econom y as yet unable to absorb well-trained technicians.

Editor; the georgian;I am writing in response
to the letter of Clara Folasade Olumide printed in the October 15 edition of the Georgian. Instead of setting me straight on the facts concerning the Nigeria/Biafra “ issue” , her letter served only to confirm my opinions on Nigerian misinterpretation of fact and obstinate blindness to reality.
She refutes the statement that genocide is being com mitted with an interesting yet inane and irrelevant observation that very little has ever been said about Biafra in any history book. Perhaps I am
< \
very obtuse, but to me this has no meaning and/or pertinence.
Biafra was pushed out of the Nigerian federation. Lt.- Col. Ojukwu, leader of the Biafrans, tried repeatedly to negotiate with Lagos. (Note especially the Aburi Conferences of 1967, and the failure of the Lagos government to institute any of the reforms promised thereat.) Finally, after it was clearly evident that the Ibo population was no longer welcome in the Federation, the Biafrans decided to stand up and assert their independence.
I lived in Biafra from 1965 to 1967 and left the month after secession. The present claims of genocide and subsequent howl of public concern appears rather belated to me. Genocide was begun two years ago in the North of Nigeria against 30,000 innocent Ibo civilians. Since the situation was not resolved then, it deteriorated rapidly culminating in secession, the formation of the Republic of Biafra, the com m encem ent of armed aggression and continuation of the “ Kill the Ibo” policy. Two years ago, these atrocities were com m itted without a n . open declaration of war, now in open warfare the N igerians can and are going to even greater extremes.
I wonder how the determ ination and courage of a people
can be misinterpreted as “ em pty pride” and “ stubbornness” . The Biafrans are only demanding the basic human rights of self-determination, liberty and equality of opportunity. I have nothing but admiration for these people - they have decided to die fighting for their ideals rather than by a slow and inexorable process of extermination. This is why there is no surrendering. It matters not that they are doomed to failure (if indeed they are, in the long run) they demand the right to die like heroes for a great cause.
Miss Olumide stated that there was still basis for a united Nigeria. Can any enlightened and civilized person believe in a nation founded
i on hatred? Or does Miss
Olumide believe, as did the two “ ambassadors of good will” in the Nigerian pavilion at Expo last year, that “ all the damned Ibos should be slaughtered” . I realize that Biafran oil is necessary to help pay up the debts incurred by Nigerian to Britain and Russia for services rendered, but are the Biafrans themselves superfluous? It would seem so.
It makes me sad to think that in a world like ours, twisted minds can construe noble and honest values as stubbornness a n d “ empty pride” . If more* of us valued these ideals Ynough to die for them, perhaps the world would be a better place in which to live.

'La noche triste’ in Mexico City ASA votes for feeM E XIC O CITY, (CPS) Oct. 4 - It
is a massacre; there is no other word to describe what happened during the course of a meeting on the Place des Trois-Cultures (Plaza of Three Cultures) organized by the Student Grievance Committee.
The Plaza in the center of the Tlatelolco Section of M exico City, is a large urban center of glass and concrete destined for an im m ortal name in the history of repression.
The Plaza is an ideal place for an ambush -- if it was an ambush, as some here are ready to contend. Tlatelolco has been the scene of many “ battles” the last several weeks, but W ednesday’ s (Oct. 2) was by far the cruelest.
of his neighbors while others standing on the balcony tried to escape. None succeeded: they were seized by plainclothesmen who ran from the offices.
On the Plaza, the demonstrators tried to flee, not knowing what was happening; they found themselves face to face with 500 helmeted soldiers, guns and rifles in hand, advancing in com bat formation.
Contrary to the accounts in most M exican newspapers, not one gunshot came at that moment from any of the surrounding buildings. On the contrary, in the crowd one could see plainclothesmen, left hands white- gloved, giving the soldiers signals and directing their fire at points in the crowd.
That is the beginning of horror.
Mexican students battle with police in one of many outbreaks of violence during the recent riots in that country. The final death count is not known but Mexican streets were filled with blood throughout the clashes.
The student meeting, which began at 5 p .m ., was held to protest the presence of the troops who were occupying the Polytechnic Institute, only several hundred meters away. The order to the army to stay on the plaza and outside the “ politecnico” had been rescinded, and soldiers were now surrounding the university.
M any orators, men and women from the Grievance Committee, had spoken. One of them stood on the third floor of the Chihuahua Building, on a balcony leading to the third- floor offices. Surrounded by about 50 persons, he was in the process of asserting the need to “ continue the fight” and to “ demand a public dialogue with the government.” Men, women, children — m any seated on the ground — were listening. Students passed by in groups, distributing literature.
On the neighboring streets, circulation was normal. Army units were entrenched around the “ politecnico.” In the sky, a helicopter from the federal district surveyed the town. Children waded in a fountain in the city park. M en were going home from work reading their newspapers.
Five minutes later, a second helicopter joined the first, and then, at 6:20, we saw rising above the Church of Santiago- Tlatelolco a Bengal’ s fire of green light.
Several cries burst out: “ Stay calm, don’ t run.”
It was already dark, and hard to see the reason for the com motion. The orator repeated orders to “ stay calm ,” but he was abruptly attacked and strangled by one
We jum p off embankments 10 feet high in real panic. The soldiers advance toward us, pushing us up against the church wall. Plainclothesmen are at the church too, directing the soldiers’ advance with sweeping hand signals. Soldiers are pouring into the Plaza from every street. There are more than 5000 of them, with 300 tanks.
And they kill. M any of the students help women to escape, protecting them with their own bodies. Night has fallen, a pouring rain soaks us. The tanks come closer. They immediately drive round to block the Chihuahua Building entrances. It is 7:15, the firing continues, and a bazooka sets fire to the Chihuahua Building.
Lights on the buildings are put out, and one can see nothing alive. (We found out later that many offices were full o f the fleeing, lying on the floors.)
Prisoners pass, hands behind their necks, pushed along by soldiers who beat them. Some of them are undressed and made to lie unprotected on the terrace roofs of buildings.
The Plaza is strewn with wounded and dead, many of them children. The prisoners, of whom I am one, are pushed, hands in the air, the length of the church. M en are ordered to throw down their belts, women their umbrellas.
The whole quarter is occupied by tanks and soldiers. N ot until 4 a.m. will they let us go, a young Frenchman and I, after verifying our credentials, but the town is still full o f screaming ambulance sirens.
The membership of the Arts Students’ Association has voted in favour of a five dollar fee assessment for all arts students.
Results of a referendum on the fee question, last week, showed that 326 students favoured the five dollar figure while 132 voted for cancelling the previously assessed fee.
Earlier in the week a first referendum had been held with students being able to choose from four possible figures; five dollars, four dollars, three dollars and fifty cents, and $0.00. The second and third choices received only 31 and 70 votes respectively and were thus eliminated from the final ballot.
In yet a third referendum held by the A .S .A ., 313 persons indicated that they were in favour of publication of
Syracuse wins debating tourneyDismal weather, poor pub
licity, and general lack of interest kept the audience to only fifty people at the finals of the S.G .W .U. Debating Tournament held last Saturday in H -110.
The two institutions which survived the four-round, six- school meet were the Royal Military College and the University of Syracuse. R .M .C. had Nick Stephen and Nick Amarica, with the former acting as Prime Minister. Arguing for the negative were Robert Vittelo and Arthur Nacht.
The setting was the Canadian House of Commons, with Judge O'Meara (Court of Queen’s Bench) as the Speaker. The resolution supported by the government was: Be it resolved that Jewish Power is the answer.
Humour was the main vehicle of expression, as each side stated its position on such controversial subjects as: chicken liver, proof of one’ s identity as a Jew, and Arabs’ clothing (do they really wear their tents?). Syracuse, both of whose team members employed refined Yiddish accents, was judged to be the winner by Mr. O ’Meara and two Montreal lawyers.
Both speakers from R.M .C. were dressed in full uniform and played the part of warmongering, sadistic anti-Semites. They finished second.
The University of Buffalo, Syracuse, R .M .C ., College Militaire Royale, M cGill, and Harvard had teams entered.
Jack Berkow and Gerard Reinblatt (O f SGW U) were the co-ordinators of the tournament. As Sir ‘ George was hosting the tournament, it could not enter a team.
The results were announced that night at a banquet which was held at the Royal Embassy Hotel.
an Arts Course Guide next year while 72 voted in the negative.
Sloan resignsTodd Sloan has finally gone
through with his threatened resignation as Students’ Association ombudsman but not because of his differences with the Caribbean Society, over allocation of offices.
In mimeographed letters to members of the S.L.C., Sloan cited six main reasons for his resignation, ranging from “ extreme confusion of the students whom I am supposed to. represent regarding affairs on this (Students’ Association offices - 3rd floorj floor,” to a “ feeling of effectiveness and confusion under the present situation.”
Sloan’s resignation was duly supported by four members of his staff who co-signed the resignation letter.
No announcement has been forthcoming from the Students’ Association regarding a new appointm ent to Sloan’ s former position.

U of M romps over Sir George 26-1by Steve Halperin
2 0 - 2 0 V I S I O N : Typ ify ing th e confusion in G e o rg ia n ranks , tw o p layers w e a r in g identica l s w e a t e r n u m e ra ls
“ Being better than the other guy. That’s a great feelin’. I f you ain’t got it, you can’t do it.” - O.J.
S im p so n , All America, U .S .C .
The Georgians ain’t got it. For the forth consecutive weekend, they made this unmistakably clear to the hard core of supporters who cheer themselves hoarse week after week. This time, the “ ogre” was Le Universite de Montreal and the final score of a game played under the lights at Verdun Stadium Friday evening was a sad 26-1 in favor of Les Carabins.
Oddities prevelentIt was a football game mar
red by excessive roughness (which resulted in a long string of penalties and culminated in the ejection of Sir George end A1 Davis) and marked by a curious number of oddities: item:
Two Georgians wearing the identical sweater number, 20. item:
Linebacker A1 Rafael, who started the game in uniform number 61, trading sweaters with quarterback Lorne Davis,
who wore number 14. item :
Georgian number 22 entering the game in the fourth quarter. Up until this game, no Sir George player had worn that numeral, and the phantom flanker was unidentifiable by anyone in the press box, including the public relations director of the athletics department.
These numerical mysteries provided fans with the odd chuckle, but aside from the amusing game of musical numbers, there was little to laugh about for the estimated 2000 Georgian supporters on hand.
Kick blockedThe game started out on
the bright side when the Carabins failed to muster an attack on their first offensive sequence, and linebacker John O’Haney broke through to block a third down punt. But the Garnet and Gold could not get untracked and the team had to settle for a single point off the boot of Ron Gold- enberg.
After the teams exchanged kicks, the Carabins took over on the Sir George 41. Eight plays later, halfback Jacques Gauthier took a swing pass from starting U of M quarterback M ichel St. Pierre for
a twelve yard touchdown. The convert attem pt failed and the Carabins held a five point lead.
Gamble failsTerry M illicham p ran back
the ensuing kickoff 32 yards to the centre field stripe, but the Garnet and Gold m achine sputtered and a third down gamble failed. Sir George gave up the pigskin and U of M marched 77 yards in 7 plays for their second touchdown. The big play was a forty yard line buck by workhorse fullback Pierre Plourde for the six points. Donald Quane, who replaced the injured St. Pierre at quarterback looked impressive in leading the drive. On his first play, he hit flanker Rejean Cardin for twenty yards, and some brilliant faking on his part helped decoy for Plourde’ s payoff romp. Again, the extra point failed and the Georgians trailed 12-1.
Once more, several minutes elapsed and neither team could sustain a drive. Georgian starting quarterback Lorne Davis gambled on a third down play from midfield and the pass to Bruce Berry went astray. U of M took over and Quane led them 56 yards to paydirt. The payoff pitch was a spectacular over the
shoulder grab by halfback M ichel Grafton of a twenty five yard toss from Quane. This time, Yvon Tourgeon’s convert attem pt was on the money and as the teams left the field for the half time intermission, the Georgians found themselves on the short end of a 19-1 score.
Zenobi impressivePlay see-sawed back and
forth in the third quarter with both teams on relatively equal footing. Late in the quarter, Roger Zenobi came in to quarterback the team. Zenobi looked flashy in moving the team, thanks to a great leaping catch by Hugh Dow, an eight yard sweep by Terry M illicham p, and a fifteen yard penalty against U of M. But the drive stalled, and the Carabins took over on downs.
Two bom bs from Quane to Plourde and Cardin moved the ball from their own 36 to the Georgians 20. After allowing the flying frenchmen to penetrate their 5, the Georgian defence bore down and took over the ball on downs at their own one yard line.
Freshman A1 Rafael, a product of West Hill High School where he was considered to be the G .M .I.A .A .’s top quarterback with that school’s unbeaten team, came in to lead the squad. On the first' play, a mixup in the backfield
resulted in a fumble which U of M recovered. Two plays later, Gauthier had his second touchdown.
Rafael completes three passesYvon Pare’s kickoff went
for a single point and Rafael went to work to try and increase the team’s rather poor 2 points per game average. He looked sharp in completing each of the three passes he threw, but the line caved in and the surprised Rafael was thrown for 4 losses.
A late interception by Rick Wolfe deep in the Sir George end kept the score at 26-1 and that’ s the way it ended.
The loss virtually eliminates any chance of the rookie Georgians winning a game this year. The two remaining games are against powerhouses Bishops and Loyola, both on the road. Though the team looked pitifully weak all evening, credit must be given to these thirty odd athletes who are playing their hearts out for a hopeless cause.’ Their only guiding light is that things are bound to get better and next season, the Georgians will be in there all the way. But the fact remains that in this season’s C.C.I.F.C. race, the Garnet *and Gold just haven’t got what it takes. And as O.J. Simpson says, “ if you ain’t got it, you can’t do it.”

Win streak ends
Loyola dumps soccer squadby Robin Palin
The swimming prowess of the Georgian Soccer Team was definitely not up to par on Saturday as they were swamped 4-1 by Loyola Warriors on a field that was more water and mudthan turf.
If the field was bad, the officiating seemed to be worse. This com m ent is a bit more than bias as was proved late in the second half when a Loyola player was ejected from the game. But he never quite managed to get both feet off the field. Upon hearing the decision, Loyola ’s coach marched gallantly onto the field accom panied by a chorus of hisses and boos (the vocal type supplied by his team m em bers, and informed the referee that he could not do that. The referee (?) then profusely appologized by waving the player back onto the field with accom pagnied by the jubilant vocal support of the Warriors.
Perfect setupThis was only one incident in what could
have been a great game. The Georgians took a 1-0 lead early in the first half when Andre Farkas scores after a brilliant setup in the goalmouth.
The Warriors looked as though they were going to concede the lead until there was twenty seconds to go in the half. Joe Bante- vania came through on a long pass about ten yards short and to the left of the mark. Georgian goaltender Dave Mulaner rushed to get the ball and slipped just before he reached it where upon Bantevania hoofed it in for a tie
score. In the scramble Mulaner was knocked unconscious for a few seconds and was helped off the field.
Loyola stays aheadThe second half went scoreless until the ten
minute mark when Loyola centrer Claudio San- dria beat Mulaner on a forty yard shot to the far bottom corner of the net. All was lost when Sandria hit for his second marker. M ulaner fell on the ball but he just couldn’t handle it, as it squeezed between him and the “ terra firma” , which at its best wasn’t very firm.
Bantevania got his second goal to make it 4-1, and for all intents and purposes, end the game.
Second lossThis was the first since their opener against
RM C in Kingston two weeks ago that the Georgians have lost a game.
During the last eight days they have played a total of four games and have come up with three wins and one loss.
Coach Ron Licorish looks forward to a good match next week against RM C. The fact that the georgians have a week’ s layoff ahead of them and com bined with the return of Jeff Gelineau to the lineup should tend to give them the lift that they need to beat the Cadets next Friday night.
