Message from the President of UGEQ to students of Sir George

UGEQ President P ierre Le fran^o is sent the fo llow ing message to the students o f Sir George when it became unfeasable for him to attend la s t F riday ’ s UGEQ forum.

“ I tru ly regret that I could not be w ith you th is afternoon. I had wanted to speak to you about the f ir s t three years of the existence of UGEQ. Previous engagements prevent me from being here however I have asked that the fo llow ing be made ava ilab le to you” .

UGEQ President Pierre Lefrancois, unable to attend Friday’s debate due to previous commitments with the Mi­nistry of Education sent the following message to Sir George students.

“Since its start in November of 1964, UGEQ has concen tra ted its efforts in the realm of education under the the­me of the general accesability to edu­cation. It has been ou r constan t objec­tive that those who have the talent and who wish to follow their education to the best possible limit, should have that right. It is thus tha t we have led in the dem and for m odifications in the student aid system, dem ands that resul­ted in the institution of the new system last year. The m oney has thus passed from 20 million in 1965-66 to 45 mil­lion in 1966-67. Parliam ent, Ministry of Education, have initiated at our de­m and, a planning com m ittee concer­ning the general accesability to educa­tion, a com m ittee which has as its man-

tts, to prepare a five-year plan for e education . U G EQ has two represen­ta tives o n this com m ittee.Always in the realm of education,

the dem ands for the establishm ent of the genera l and professional schools, the CEG EPs m ust be underlined. By the­se dem ands, we w ant to have as many Q uebec students as possible able to a ttend university. The fact that there will be 30 of these schools in Q uebec a t the s ta rt of the next academ ic year, ' (of w hich two will be E nglish) m ust be pointed out.

This year again, education is the first priority of the union, as the governm ent spents 28 per cen t of its budget towards this en d . The academ ic year 67-68 will m o re accuratly be the year of high­er education , the governm ent of Daniel Johnson intends to present m ore pro­jects a long these lines (eg the Office of H igher Education, the framework of universities and the second French university in M ontreal). This is why UGEQ has begun its second major plan of ac tion , tha t on higher education . This p lan of action is even m ore im­portan t when one considers that our dem ands m ust not represen t a m inority of s tudents.

It is thus tow ards a be tte r education that U G E Q is moving. It is only necess­ary for m e to point out that U G EQ sub­m itted a brief to the Com m ittee of In­quiry o n Liberal Arts education in which w e asked that it be integrated into the general educational system of Q uebec. The creation of this com m it­tee, it will be recalled, was at the ini­tiative of U G EQ and its m em bers in M arch of 1966.

According to UGEQ' 'the campaign to ensure general accessability must soon tak e place by the side of the con­ten t of ed u ca tio n itself and the m ethods of this ed uca tion all the while not forget-, ting th a t it is im perative that we not forget to view education in the socio­econom ic developm ental aspect of Que­bec. It seem s to us, in effect, im portant to answ er this question; W hat do we w ant from our educational system?

Thus, there rem ains m uch work to tackle, m any fights to lead. The fight for the accelarated dem ocratization of Q uebec universities. The fight for

planned university developm ent. Edu­cation an d teaching m ust be thoroughly questioned . B etter conditions for the Q uebec students m ust be obtained (fi­nancial aid, a policy forresidences and housing, etc...)

We, a t U GEQ, are no t taking this respons ability upon ourselves for our­selves. It’s a collective group of stu­dents w ho will benefit. It is necessary there fo re to do these things as an asso­ciation of representative groups of the population , taking into consideration ' the repercussions of all our demands. It is sim ply necessary to be present in the com m unity which surrounds us.

But a ll this m ust not be the work of a m inority of students. The participation of everyone is e sse n tia l; in the fun­dam enta l decisions taken in the Con­gress-, in the putting into practice of these decisions.

U G E Q is the business of all Quebec students. Students of Sir G eorge Will­iams University as well. We have an im m ense task in sight. This is the time to close the gap.

P e t i t i o n to oust council p re s id e n t

T oron to (CUP) - A petition calling for the im m ediate resignation of Tom Faulkner, s tuden t council p resident, is circulating the U- niversity of T oron to cam pus.

M ore than a dozen students from the faculties of Enginee­ring and Medicine and Univer­sity of V ictoria and St. M icha­el’s College, are a ttem pting to obtain 1,500 nam es on the pe­tition before next W ednesday’s student council m eeting.

The petition organizers,the ad hoc com m ittee for re­presentative studen t govern­m ent, said Thursday night,“Faulkner, no longer represents the students of this universi­ty” .

“This is the final straw when student council decided to le­gislate individual m orality”, said Com m ittee spokesm an Ron Thom pson of the Engi­neering facu lty , when a m otion

passed through Council W ed­nesday night.

The m otion instructs student council representatives on a placem ent service advisory board to prevent com panies supplying w ar m aterials for V ietnam from conducting job interviews on cam pus.

The draft dodger issue which student council defeated but Faulkner supported last m onth prom pted the SAC president to say on two occasions-. “I am willing to be recalled if coun­cil is p resen ted with a petition of 1,500 signatures”.

If the petition is succesfull, an election for a new president would take place in which Faulkner could run.

Pelletier:UGEQ seeks reform

“W hat does U G EQ do for m e?” T hat seem ed to be the gist of the case against U G EQ at a Friday m eeting sponsored by the ad

hoc com m ittee to re ta in Sir G eorge’s m em bership in U G EQT he answer, supplied by

U GEQ's secretary general Jean Pelletier, and in ternati­onal vice-president V ictor Rabinovitch, was equally sim­ple: everything.

P e lle tie r sa id tha t although the Q uebec based student union supplied such “m undane” services as the U G EQ travel bureau and discount books its real purpose rem ains as the fight for educational reform in the province.

Pelletier, who was severely criticized for refusing to speak English, also took the floor in defense of U G EQ ’S decision to help pay legal expenses for three french-speaking m en ac cused of a 1966 bom b-blast m ur­der during a strike at La G re­nade shoe com pany.

He said the organization pic­ked up part of the defense tab because it believed the three w ere innocent; this was subs­tan tia ted last week when th jury on the case acqu itted the three after 10-minutes of con­sideration.

Secretary G eneral Pelletier said legal expenses would be paid for any innocent parties connected with U G EQ - if they’re innocent. He pointed out that the m urdered woman

had been French speaking.Q uestioned on U G EQ ’s a t­

tendance at an international union of students convention, R abinovitch defended the m oscow-based student group on the grounds that m em ber­ship included every m ajor stu­dent union in the world - with the exception of the U .S .- and that O ttawa-based C ana­dian Union of Students has already applied for status wi­thin IUS.

Rabinovitch also shot down charges that Bishop’s U niver­sity and M acdonald College’s recen t votes no t to join indicat­ed a trend away from the orga­nization.

His response to a crow d m em ­ber who brought up the point -- So w hat? “This m erely indi­ca tes,” R abinovitch said, “that Bishop’s and M acdonald intend to avoid student syndicalism-- neither is a m em ber of CUS o r UGEQ, and they w ant to stay that way.”

The clincher for the U G EQ forces-obviously p re-arranged - a sta tem ent by a Sir G eorge student arrested in the A m eri­can consulate fracas: UGEQ picked up his bail and legal fee expenses.

COMMENT

Space under th is heading w ill be reserved in each issue for comment by adm inistra­to rs, fa cu lty , and students on issues of top ica l s ign ificance . Submissions should be addressed to the Managing E d ito r of the georgian.

Open l e t t e r to Sc i e nce S t u d e n t sW hat is a science student?

A science student is supposed to be rational, clear thinking, and objective when it com es to verifying a sta tem ent or sol­ving a problem . He is also supposed to be open to new ideas but no t accep t these ideas unless they are supported by concrete facts. The Science Students A ssociation of Sir

G eorge W illiams University has “tru e” science students in its m idst: however, it is also plagued by the pseudo-science student. A pseudo-science stu­dent is one who bares the badge of science yet pollutes, trans­form s and d isto rts the ideals of scientific logic.

W e, the executive of the Science Students Association,

have trust in w hat we feel is a m ajority of “tru e” science students. We endorse the m em ­bership of Sir G eorge Williams University in U G EQ and we ur­ge all science students to think, just think before they cast their vote.

FactsMany people on this campus are confused as to the es­

sential issues involved in the UGEQ referendum. There has been litt le real effort on this campus to deal with the is­sues in depth by any faction involved in the fray. Slogan­eering and the issuing of 'fact s h e e ts ’ has contributed to the general confusion surrounding the referendum.

The entire question has been forced by COLD and that organization has followed up by distributing literature which deals superficially with several actions of the union and avoids putting these actions into a proper perspective.

The primary assumption made by COLD is that UGEQ is a group of "Jean-Guys” removed from the political and so­cial climate of English Quebec. This is a gross misrepre­sentation of the nature of this Quebec union. UGEQ does not take arbitrary action to stifle les Anglais. The demo­cratic nature of the organization prevents such a situation.All actions of the executive are based on decisions ratified by the member universities at the regular meetings of the representatives. The over-all policy of UGEQ for each year is decided at a congress in which Sir George had fifteen votes last year. This w ill probably be enlarged this year when Sir George hosts the congress.

COLD is painfully unaware of the essential facts sur­rounding UGEQ. For example, a COLD fact sheet shrieks that the provincial union sent three delegates to the IUS conference in Outer Mongolia last year. This is untrue. Two members were sent, and, as COLD carefully refuses to acknowledge, the IUS itself paid for these representatives.

The question of UGEQ donating $200 to the Vallieres- Gagnon Defense Fund has also come under the scrutiny of Mr. Oberfeld’s group. They distribute literature that sounds as i f UGEQ paid for the bombs used by these two indivi­duals against the French shoe factory. They cry that we are being implicating in this crime - ensuring that two peo­ple have the adequate defense to which they are entitled, as any other citizens are - when in fact Sir George did not vote in favour of the motion passed at the last congress. But UGEQ is an organization based on representation by population, and most other university representatives did not agree with our position. Does that mean we should act as spolied children and threaten withdrawal if everything we support is not passed? Of course not. This is an absurd notion, and the other 'facts ’ that COLD relates also need adequate background and perspective before they can be properly understood.

The students of this university vote every year for an external vice-president whose function it is to discuss UGEQ with anyone who wishes a better perspective of the organization than can possibly be provided in print. We should see that our views will be aired before other Quebec students and the way to ensure that is to vote for an extern­al vice-president who runs on a platform representative of the views of this institution. That way the lines of commu­nication with French-Canadian students w ill not be closed, and a representative voice of English students can be brought into the Quebec political arena.

graduation exercisesEditor, the georgian;

For a great length of time, we at M cGill have ignored the ‘o ther University’ (more like the graduate school for high schoolers), down the street. A hockey gam e brought out th e acm e o f G e o rg ia n in ­tellectual thought.

A great m etam orphisis appears to have taken place in the ‘G eorgian a ttitude’. No longer is the G eorgian mind con ten t to contem plate the virtues of draft beer or the social insight of Professor Brian. You seem to have decid­ed to break through the idea of paternalistic education, and the concept and fact of the m eal-ticket university. Your strike brough this out; your new spaper reflects this change in thinking. You have taken positive steps in the direction of social involvem ent, and student syndicalism. Sir G eor­ge is apparently moving in the direction of a true university.

COLD factsEditor, the georgian

I am afraid that it is becoming increasingly obvious to me that the anti-U G EQ forces on our cam pus are about to pull the wool over the eyes of 5000 inno­cen t students by peppering them with a barrage of “facts” . This is unfortunate, not only because it will probably m ean our secession from C anada’s only effective students’ union but because it will evidence the gullibility of the students of this institution.

C O L D has consistenly quo­ted from the constitu tion of U G EQ to prove its separatist and so c ia lis t affiliations, and has backed up these quotes by facts (as in terpreted , in their b ib les: The Montreal S tar& T heG azette)) however what the poor student-at-large does not realize is that it is possible to quote the U.S. C onstitution to prove that the U.S.A. is com ­munist.

The quotes taken from the U G EQ constitu tion have been chosen on the basis of the term s they use, e. g. the clause (I be­lieve it is A rticle 22) referring to “imperialism and colonia­lism ”. Here the loyal m em bers of C O L D have sought to take the com m unist in terp re ta­tion of these words, as in the declaration of Hanoi. M ight I rem ind the C O L D types that “im perialism and colonialism ” have m ore m eaning than just so-called A m erican agression. They refer, I think, to the ve­ry acts that the m uch revered M onroe D octrine seeks to com ­fort. Hence, this article 22, is

not a slur on the W estern W orld.

C O L D claim s that U G EQ has ceased to be a studen ts’ u- nion and now is a syndicalist union. First of all, U G EQ was formed on the concept of syn­dicalism ; it did not adopt it later. Secondly, it is not possi­ble to .be both a syndicalist u- nion and a students’ union. I think it is.

I for one believe that since there is no logical or effective alternative to U G EQ for SGW U and since U G EQ at least has the potential to do som ething, we should rem ain in U G EQ and try to co rrec t his w orking from the inside.

I t ’ s about TimeEditor, the georgian

Regarding the conflicting stu­dent rates for T im e magazine subscriptions, I w rote a le tte r to T im e’s subscription service division in Chicago for inform a­tion to try to get their explana- nation. This was their reply:

In O ctober 1st, 1967 T IM E rates were increased. W hen T IM E ’S regular yearly rate be-

•cam e $12.00, our student rates were increased accordingly. A one-year student subscrip­tion prior to O ctober 1st was five dollars, however, the rate has now becom e $6.00 for a one-year subscription. It is custom ary that when rates are increased, cam pus bookstores as well as anyone else using old prices, destroy all o rder blanks quoting these disconti­nued rates. It is possible howe­ver, that a t times form s will be overlooked especially as in the case you w rote us about.

Sincerely, Laura M organ

for T IM E As you can see, it was the

m istake of Mr. Silver of the

bookstore, that caused this discrepancy.

If he had, as is T im e’s poli­cy, rem oved the old order blanks, nothing would have happened. However, as it was and still is, the effort has not been made.

This policy of only “half- trying” is evident in the oderli- ness of the bookstore itself. M erchandise is piled up all over and general chaos prevails. E- ven stock is not com plete. Over a period of three weeks, I went to the bookstore for a required lab m anual, and equipm ent. The reply was always “If should be in by the middle of the w ek”.

The fact that Mr. Silver is a financial business success, is because he is just “lucky”.

who caresEditor, the georgian:

I honestly do not understand the am ount of “noise” gener­ated in many places about some forsaken little dot on the map

called Viet-Nam.M an, this is all so very child­

ish!So if children die; let their

parents cry. And if parents c r y , let their children cry. However, if both children and parents die, in Viet-Nam, well... who shall cry?

Let us rem em ber, that L.B.J. speaks with the wisdom of one thousand asses, and therefore he knows what he is doing. We have our food, our studies and our “freedom ”. And if none of this exists over there; so what!

, L.B.J. The m ore we think of him the less we think of him. Let us wax our fat.

PHILADELPHIA. -- Revolutions never go backw ard, W endell Phillips once said; at the sam e time one wonders

w hether they ever really go forward. Ours in A m erica -- hardly yet a revo­lution by E uropean standards - seems paradoxically to be going in both d irec­tions at once.

In less than a year, the radical an ti­war m ovem ent has escalated from iso­lated, half-m artyred draft card burnings to massive m ovem ents of m en who re­fuse any connection with the Selective Service. In little m ore than a year, civil disobedience and disruption have m o­ved from a sit-in by a score of students at an A nn A rbor, M ichigan draft board to a two-day, 2,000 m an sit-in at the Pen­tagon. Y et during the sam e short period, the U nited States has begun bom bing with system atic precision the form erly forbidden cities of Hanoi and H aiphong; the troop com m itm ent in V ietnam has risen to well above the half-million m ark-, and there are well-founded ru­m ors in W ashington of a “m ajor” esca­lation of the war, beginning in D ecem ­ber and involving the introduction of tactical nuclear weapons, the destruc­tion of the N orthern dikes, or a land invasion of North V ietnam .

If present circum stances give little cause fo r hope, neither have they led radicals to despair of their struggle. On the contrary , the m ood last w eekend at a three-day draft resistance conferen­ce near Philadelphia, was one of mild euphoria . From tripping the first night to hymn-singing the second, it was a strangely hopeful m eeting, touched with light ironies of situation and pla­ce. N on-cooperators batted back and forth a volleyball m arked “Property of Y M C A ” (it was a YM CA cam p). A clean-shaven draft organizer called for a resistance m ovem ent that would move beyond the draft and the war, while seated in fron t of a G ideon Bible print of a bearded Christ. For the m ajority of the participants; 'revolution was as natural and A m erican as w anting to be free.

P o l i t i c a l N o v i c e sThe conference , like The Resistance

itself, w as com posed prim arily of poli­tical novices, new to a radicalism which

is itself only a few years old. They cam e singly a n d in small groups, representing no constituencies but them selves; many had little political sophistication be­yond th e ir realization of the fundam en­tal po litical fact tha t A m erican society

would not let them be w hat they wan­ted. In addition to the young resistors and p o ten tia l resistors (almost half the partic ipan ts were girls), there were long­time pacifists like Arlo T atum of the C entral C om m ittee of C onscientious

O bjectors (CCCO), several sta ll mem­bers of the Am erican Friends Service C om m ittee, (sponsor of the meeting), and a b lack soldier just re tu rned from Vietnam and presently organizing draft resistance in Chester, Pa.

“I’m n o t calling for draft resistance,” Arlo T atum declared the first evening; “I’m calling for following one’s cons­cience, and our consciences have chan­ged.” Perhaps what T atum really meant

was no t “conscience”, but conscious­

ness”; for the m ajority of the resisters, non-cooperation was not the acting-out of elaborate strategies for social revo­lution, but the gut response to intole­rable circum stances, a com ing to cons­ciousness that they were not free. The

decision was not intellectual and ra tio ­nal -- o r at least, not prim arily; it was

intensely personal, founded in each in­dividual’s unlivable situation.

E f f e c t i v e n e s s , R e l e v a n c eDo you have to non-cooperate to be

politically effective, the participants were asked. Ron Young, youth d irector for the Fellowship of R econciliation and a m em ber of The Resistance, dis­puted the notion. “T here’s no salva­tion in com m union.” he asserted; ”no action is m agical. Burning your draft card or telling the Selective Service to go to hell will not in itself change your life. The ac t of non-cooperation is m ore a consequence than a first cause in changing your life.”

M ore than m ost groups on the Ame­rican left, the Resistance seeks publici­ty, exposure, and confrontation. “Peo­ple used to say, ‘The war may be all right, but I c an ’t conscientiously fight, explains Ron Young. “Now we should be saying instead, “W e’re right and the w ar is wrong - nobody should go. We should be amplifying, ra ther than sim­ply susta in ing the act of resistance, m aking ripples into waves, m aking pri­vate m oral gestures into public expres­sions. W e’ve got to move from passive to active resistance; th a t’s the first step tow ards political effectiveness.”

The second step, m any inT h eR esis- tance feel, is being flexible and undog- m atic. The ideological and generational disputes which typically frustrate cam ­pus an d national m eeting of SDS are al­

m ost basent in T he Resistance, o r at least vastly subdued. In a group larger- ly of pacifists, non-violence as an intel­lectual concept was hardly discussed du­ring the w eekend. On the final m orning Alan Brick, of the Baltim ore staff of the A m erican Friends Service Com m it­tee, responded to the notion - oft-ex­pressed since O ctober 21st - that non­violence is no longer “relevant” to the situation in w hich white radicals find them selves.

“G ranted , non-violence as a philoso­

phy is irrelevant”, said Brick; “but so is violence. The only way to approach the question of violence is no longer “relevant” to the situation in which white radicals find themselves.

“G ranted, non-violence as a philo­sophy is irre lev an t,” sa id Brick; “ but so is v io lence. The only way to approach the question of violence or non-violence is in situ, in the particular situa tion . One chooses the most appro­priate response given the conditions in which one is p laced , but always keep­ing in mind that one’s ta c tie s ultim ate­ly influence h is g o a ls .” Arlo Tatum re­em phasized the pragmatic stances: We haven’t given up non-violence. What we’ve given up is purity, and the world was never pure” .

Perhaps a pragm atic outlook, roo ted in the circum stances of the m om ent, is the only viable approach for The Re­sistance to take. The draft situation ■ changes as rapidly as the w ar escalates. As a result of the Selective Service law passed in June, eligible m en are m ore than ever at the m Qrcy of their local draft boards. As one supporter of Paul G oodm an’s decentralization schem es has put it, “The draft is the one case w here the concept of decentralization breaks dow n.” The 11-S student defer­m ent is given autom atically during the norm al four-year college course,

in part to avoid the possibility of mas­sive non-cooperation am ong college stu­dents. A fter that, however, the defer­m ent m ust be requested personnally before it is gran ted ; and if the student requests it, he becom es eligible for the draft to age 35.

C . O . L a w s C h a n g eConscientious objection has becom e

both b roader and narrow er as a result of the new law. As a consequence of the 1965 case, Seeger vs U.S. the draft law now no longer stipulates tha t the cons­cientious ob jector m ust hold a belief in a Suprem e Being. The new SS-150 form presently being w ritten will om it both questions on the old form which deal with personal religious convictions. In the m eantim e, however, (which might be quite som e time indeed) cons­cientious objectors are strongly advi­sed to evince a belief in G od or some very good substitute for Him.

If the requirem ents for a 1-0 classifi­cation are bo longer so stringent, the num ber of m en applying has greatly increased. The appeal boards, where m ost CO applications eventually are decided, are becom ing less receptive; and the CO division of the Justice De­p artm en t has recently becom e very wary of CO applicants with elaborate non-religious argum ents. Draft conse- lors warn that CO applications are be t­te r received when the applicant is not yet 1-A and acting under the press of circum stances. Boards are m ost im pres­sed by m en who m anifest long and dee­ply-held convictions against war.

W hen a m an is reclassified 1-A, he has the right to governm ent counsel for his appeal, a right not often utilized. Draft counselors advise tha t it is always good to “get him on your side”, no m at­ter how im probable that seems. In addi­tion, the draftee has the right to trans­

fer his appeal from his local board to the place w here he is working or stu­dying. A transfer is often efficacious because boards on the East and West coasts are generally m ore liberal than those in the South and Midwest.

l a i l T e r m sN on-cooperation, and its punishm ent

vary with the board. M en who refuse induction and attem pt to disrupt the induction ritual are som etim es given 1-Y or 4-F classifications to avoid pub- blic em barassm ent to the Selective Ser­vice. Those arrested and put in federal prisons are given sentences now avera­ging th ree years, three m onths; before the 1965 Vietnam escalation, the senten­ces averaged just under two years. The actual tim e served, however, averages about two years; but federal prisons are not prone to give parole to draft resisters. Som etim es, when the judge is particularly unsym pathetic, the sen­tence can be disastrous. In Georgia this O ctober, a balck soldier who had skipped jail after refusing induction, then had offered at his trial to join the Army, was sentenced to 10 years and $20,000 in fines.

Once in the arm ed forces, a soldier can no longer apply for conscientious ob jector status. Infrequently a soldier is dismissed as unfit for military servi­ce and given the opportunity to serve out his time in alternative service. The Army is not, however, the place to ex­pect civil rights and liberties to be res­pected. “Due process is a civilian term , says one military lawyer.

D e s e r t i o n s I n c r e a s eThe desertion ra te during the Viet­

nam war is the second highest in U.S. history. The only higher ra te was the extraordinary situation at the end of W orld W ar 11 when som e m en quit their stations before being given the official release. A ccording to the Cen­tral Com m ittee of Conscientious Objec­tors, there w ere 50,000 desertions last year and 13,000 delinquents (some ot whom simply forgot to notify their boards of a change of address). France is now beginning to replace Canada as the m ost hospitable country for deser­ters; 1,000 m en deserted in France last year. Switzerland and Yugoslavia like­wise give asylum to Am erican soldiers.

The stuctures and forces against so­cial change in A m erica are enorm ous and the radicals in The Resistance are fully cognizant of the fact. T heir hopes for change -- such as it can be in the A m erican context -- lie less in them sel­ves and their own efforts than in their conception of the “process of history”. “ I don’t know w hat this society is going to look like in 50 years,” says Tom Bell of SDS; “the question isn’t even rele­vant. All I know is tha t the technology of this society is fast elim inating the last personal space fit to live in. It’s not a question of an intellectual coming- to-consciousness; it’s the simple fact that people w on’t be able to be people anym ore. W hen that happens, som e­thing’s got to explode.”

The im m inent issue of the referendum concerning the participation of Sir G eorge in U G EQ has brought to light som e of the less pleasant as­p ec ts of French-E nglish relations in Q uebec. A lthough a to leran t and deta tched attitude should be expected from univ­ersity students, it is evident that m any of them will allow ethnic prejudices to influence their final decision on Novem­ber 29 th and 30th.

If by any unthinkable stroke of bad luck, Sir G eorge students choose to withdraw from UGEQ it would m ean a serious set­back in the presen t trend to ­wards the understanding bet­ween French and English Que­becers. It is impossible to have a m eaningful dialogue with people one refuses to have con tact with, and if Sir George cuts itself off from the wider university com m unity in Que­bec, there will be little hope of im proving in tergroup relations.

On the contrary , if we, the younger generation of English- speaking Q uebecers, refuse to co-operate with our French- speaking counterparts, even on the level of a university students union, the fu ture of “bilingualism and bicultural- ism”, our province, and our country, appears very bleak indeed. To take an isolationist policy, like Im perial China or the inter-world w ar United States, would be tragic for Sir George Williams, We would no longer have a m ediator with the D epartm ent of Education to bargain the cause of the student. The ultim ate ob ject­ives of educational reform and free tuition would suffer intensely with the loss of active support from Sir G eorge.

It is only in recen t years that university students have been questioning their role in the context of the university com ­m unity, and in the larger con­text of the total social system. The term “Student Pow er” has been given to cover a m ul­titude of m anifestations result­ing from this role exam ination by students. U nfortunately, “Student Pow er” is one of those all-encom passing slogans, much like “Black Pow er”, and “Flower Pow er”, that everyone uses, but no-one can acurately define.

In Q uebec, the “Student Po­w er” concept has been intim at­ely con tec ted with the evolu­tion of UGEQ. It has been U G EQ that has supported

student action against repress­ive aind unfair moves by univ­ersity adm inistrations, such as the Sir G eorge W illiams Book­store affair, and it has been U G EQ that has offered m edia­tion and support in student attem pts to have a voice in the policy m aking activities of the universities.

It is because of this position that U G EQ has received a “bad press” outside the university, and a form idable am ount of opposition from am ong students them selves. In article 8 of the chap ter on Rights in the UGEQ D eclaration of the Rights and Responsibilities of the Quebec Student, it is w ritten; “The student has the sam e right as any citizen to group with o ther students in representative organizations at all levels so as to assure himself b e tte r m ate­rial, psychological, social, and academ ic conditions to carry out his w ork; the student has the right to use dem ocratic pressure m ethods in seeing . that his rights are respected”. This is hardly advocating anar-' chy as m any people have errone­ously charged.

If the students of Sir G eorge hope to achieve any w ork­able and real represen tation at the adm inistrative level, ra ther than the “token” voice they

now have and the mind-expand­ing labyrinths of useless com ­m ittees, they are well advised to m aintain their relations with UGEQ. In time of crises, UGEQ can serve as a higher “court of appeal” for the students of Sir G eorge.

It would be advisable that if the student body of Sir G eorge intends to pursue the “Student Pow er” m ovem ent they reach som e acceptable definition of the term . The only real pow er is the pow er of knowledge, as pow er for pow ers' sake can only corrupt.

However, considering the opposing forces of en trenched established controls in the present university structure, it is not likely that the “Student Pow er” m ovem ent will reach any extrem e position. There is, at the m om ent, a type of “back­lash” gaining m om entum against student participation in acade­mic governm ent, and the exis­tence of a powerful organiza­tion like U G EQ as a support­ing agent can ac t as a coun ter­force to this reaction.

The very fact that U GEQ achieved recognition as a le­gitim ate union by the govern­m ent is indicative in itself of U G EQ ’s stand in regard to student power. The Q uebec .student already has a significant am ount of pow er in that he has U G EQ m em bership. If Sir G eorge rejects this m em ber­ship, Sir G eorge will be throw ­ing away the pow er it already has gained.

A nother aspect in which U G EQ is related to the student pow er phenonem on is inherent in the syndicalist philosophy that defines the student as a “young intellectual w orker”. The student is part of his society he has certain obligations and rights.

Naturally, the prim ary role of the student is academ ic achievem ent and intellectual discovery, however, it is a very naive attitude indeed tha t would restric t him only to the classroom s and libraries. The student exists as a social and political anim al in that he is a functioning m em ber of society. The old m aterialistic ethic that would restrict his participation since he does not belong to the “labor fo rce” is

insufficient to limit his area of operations. Because the stu­dent has had the opportunities to study and exam ine his society to an extent that the m ajority of m em bers of society have not, is perhaps the reason why he, m ore than anyone, not less than anyone, has the right, even m oral duty, to be the instrum ent of social change. This is the essence of the philosophy behind syndicalism, and syndi­calism is the essence of UGEQ.

The chief criticism of U G EQ has been the opposition philo­sophy of passivity - doing nothing about the world, and caring even less. The m ajority of students at Sir G eorge who have this attitude, and the mi­nority within this apathetic m ajority -who have vocalized dissent with UGEQ, are pro­ducts of this fat-cat, don’t-care ethic. They are, in the main, children of the arriviste middle- class, who have been taught that university is a place to go so you can get a higher salary after graduation . Nothing more. T here is enough caution in their new found rise in social status that they don ’t wish to risk loos­ing what their parents gained by supporting anything as “radical” as syndicalism. Perhaps this is understandable, but it is not adm irable.

It is this same new middle class outlook that has produc­ed the ethnic issue tha t was m entioned at the beginning of this article. These students have lived in various English speaking ghettos and have never com e in contact with French speaking people on a social level. The hum an tendency is to distrust w hat you don’t know and if it is offerring any type of com petition, hate it. Not everyone has the definite ad­vantages of a mixed background and social experience, but by the time the student is a t uni­versity level, he should no longer ac t on the em otional d ictates of intergroup prejudi­ces.

It would be m uch be tte r to rem ain within UGEQ, and attem pt to change those as­pects of U G EQ that appear to be the causes of this w ithdrawal issue, than to isolate ourselves from the m ainstream of our society.

Fundamental Rationality of Imperialist Policy

Part I of the text of Prof Genovese’ s speech, delivered at Sir George. Th is part is an ana lys is of the Cap ita lis t-Soc ia l is t world situation.Part II deals primarily with the actions of certain members of the Sir George faculty and possible action of those w ish ing to change the power structure.

The war in Viet Nam has once again confronted the world with the spectre of nuclear war. W ith each new escalation the d iscredited and increasingly irrati­onal Johnson adm inistration brings itself closer to that fateful decision. This spectre raises three pos­sibilities.

(1) that there will be a general nuclear w ar betw een the socialist and capitalist cam ps;(2) that there will be lim ited wars with nuclear w ea­pons and with as yet undeterm ined effects on the world balance of power,- and(3) that there will be lim ited wars with conventional weapons only. The first possibility - tha t of a general nuclear w ar - raises - long range problem s. If such a w ar takes place - and it is certainly a possibility - we need not worry about our fu ture. The o ther two possibilities are m erely variations on the sam e them e, and together they constitu te the overw helm ing p ro ­bability. Today, I do not wish to discuss the w ar in Viet Nam itself, but do wish to assess the significance of this and others likely to follow on the prospects for the socialist transform ation of W estern society. I therefore address myself prim arily, but I hope not exclusively , to the leftwing of th is cam pus.

To begin with, le t me in s is t on the fundamental rationality of general im perialist policy, notw ithstand­ing the increasing irrationality of Johnson’s particular policy in Viet Nam. T hat policy is m erely the continu­ation, under m ore com plicated conditions, of the po­licy adop ted tow ard the USSR after the Bolshevik Revolution. Its m ajor th rust has been to force the socialist countries to divert their national resources from social and econom ic construction into a stagger­ing arm s race, which the United States alone can afford with som e ease. Since the socialist countries have been poor and backward and have there­fore had to engage in forced-m arch industrialization under painful conditions, this im perialist strategy has m ade great sense. In recen t years it has been applied with special force to China. Despite all the absurd propaganda about Chinese ag re ss iv en ess , the fact rem ains tha t the United States has virtually been wag­ing w ar on China for m ore than 20 years. The U nited States intervened in the Chinese civil w ar by send­ing troops to assist Chiang Kai Shek in M anchuria. W hen C hiang’s arm y collapsed, the U nited States detached Taiw an and has ever since p ro tec ted the Kuom intang regim e there. To do so, the U nited Sta­tes had to repudiate the Cairo agreem ent, in which it solem nly prom ised to respect Chinese claim s to Tai­wan as part of the national territory . A m erican a r­rogance on this question may be measured by the jux­taposition of two facts. On the one hand, the A m eri­can press exults over, and the A m erican airforce pro­tects, periodic K uom intang attacks on the m ainland. On the o ther hand, W ashington has said bluntly that any Com m unist a ttack on Taiwan, even in retaliation for such strikes, will be considered as an act of war on the United States. The U nited States, in addition, m aintains client states in South K orea and South Viet Nam on both Chinese flanks - and has m aintain­ed a fleet, arm ed alm ost entirely with nuclear w ea­pons, off the Chinese coast. It has, in short, forced the Chinese to accep t a situation such as has not confron t­ed any o ther m ajor pow er in recent times. These have been extrem e provocations,- they have virtually been acts of war. In the face of them , I believe we can say w ithout falling prey to rom antic rhetoric, that the Chinese response has been a m odel of restra in t and responsibility and tha t we are justified in regarding the Chinese leaders as am ong the m ost m ature and self-controlled in the w orld today.

A m erican policy has been a c lear failure in its ul­tim ate objective - to prevent industrialization and provoke mass d iscontent and insurrection. On other levels, however, it has been partially successful. For one thing it has forced the socialist world to adopt stern, repressive, and som etim es totalitarian m easures in order to defend itself against the constan t th reat

of aggression. These m easures, as best illustrated by Stalin’s rule in Russia, have naturally tended to find institutional and bureaucratic expressions, which in turn have hardened and taken on a life of their own. As a result, socialism, as it has so far appeared in the world, has been identified, however superficially and unfairly, with opposition to freedom and dem ocracy. In so doing, imperialism has won a m ajor victory, for the rigidities and political backw ardness of the socialist world have contribu ted enorm ously tow ard the discrediting of socialism in the advanced W estern countries. For ano ther thing, the allocation of p re­cious national resources to the military has significan­tly distorted the econom ies of the socialist countries and has postponed the day on which they can catch and surpass capitalist econom ic perform ance. They have therefore not yet been able to dem onstrate that m aterial advantage over capitalist society which would a ttrac t the working class of the W est to a radical socialist perspective.

The war in Viet Nam illustrates, although it did not initiate, a com plem entary im perialist strategy - that of making the price of revolution in the colonial and neocolonial world unacceptab le to the peoples there­in. In this sense, the A m erican policy in Viet Nam m akes sense. V ictory is no t necessary; all that is ne­cessary is the devastation of the country. U nder such conditions, the imperialists seem to believe, o ther peo­ples will be discouraged from taking the revolutionary path. This belief is unfounded. Everything indicates that such barbarism , which is altogether worthy of the late Adolf Hitler, will not prevent the spread of revolutionary violence in the underdeveloped coun­tries.

Nevertheless, this im perialist strategy has paid handsom e dividends. It has divided the two great socialist powers and has plunged the world Com m u­nist m ovem ent into a sta te of prolonged and possibly perm anent crisis. C onsequently, the revolutionary forces in the underdeveloped countries are them ­selves in disarry. This condition is tem porary, but it has signalled the end of the old world com m unist m ovem ent. T here are in the world today socialist countries that play objectively counter-revolutionary as well as revolutionary roles - in fact, som etim es the same country does both on different levels of policy - and there are revolutionary m ovem ents with m utu­ally exclusive program s and outlooks. Indeed, it is no longer possible to be certain that there will not be war betw een socialist states.

The general situation in the underdeveloped world today m ust be understood as a com bination of revol­utionary advance in Viet Nam and of shattering de­feats in m ost of Africa, Latin A m erica, and of course Indonesia. These defeats do not represen t a final stabilization in im perialism ’s in ternational position. They are, however, a reflection of the d isorder and weakness displayed by the socialist powers, and they reflect the growing political, as well as military, so­phistication of the U nited States. The forw ard m ove­m ent of the revolutionary forces has been blunted, but Viet Nam has been the bright spot and prom ises to initiate a new reversal of fortunes. W hatever the outcom e there , im perialist dream s of a perm anent stabilization are doom ed to defeat, although they may very well m aintain great force for decades to com e. The m ost reasonable expectation, in the face of th is ebb and flow, is for the gradual rollback of imperialist contro l of the world, not by slow and even evolution but by fits and jerks, according to revolutionary thrust here and coun ter revolutionary failure there. The tim etable is an open question, but the form idable pow er dem onstrated by the im perialist in the last ten years suggests a long and hard road shead.

In the light of this com plex world situation, we shall have to consider the prospects for the radical transform ation of W estern society. Capitalism in ge-

Dr. Gene Genovese, Professor of History at Sir George, addressing students at the 4th lecture in the Vietnam series.

neral and Am erican capitalism in particular have gone through a rem arkable m etam orphosis during the last thirty years a m etam orphosis that only dogmatists have failed to appreciate. In a word, the bourgeoisie has studied the laws of its own econom y and has mov­ed, with rem arkable skill, to stay the execution of those laws. This flexibility, for exam ple the measures to control the business cycle, should not surprise M arxists; it was, after all, M arx himself who observed that econom ic laws are m erely objective tendencies and that will and consciousness can ordinarily re­d irect their m anifestations. It is certainly true that the im perialists have accom plished this feat by resorting to perm anent m ilitarization, to a consum er-oriented econom y that thrives on waste while m uch of the world starves, and to m easures entailing the cultural degredation of their own peoples. The fact remains that they have won a big battle and that they have, in consequence, draw n the revolutionary teeth of the pro leteria t and contained every opposition movem ent to appear within their own societies.

If I have sketched this picture darkly, I have done so because we of the Left face grave problem s, which cannot be exorcized by revolutionary rhetoric, nor by exhortations to stand and die, not by infantile regres­sions to the use of four le tte r words. A bourgeoisie as strong as this one, possessing a nuclear arsenal capa­ble of destroying all life on earth several times over, is not going to be bluffed or cow ed by meaningless speeches em anating from self proclaim ed revolution­aries who represen t no one, speak for no one, and have no credentials as fighters beyond the use of their ever active m ouths.

Yet, I do not m ean to imply that the victory of im­perialism is probable, m uch less inevitable. On the contrary , as I have already suggested, the long run perspective suggested that the bourgeoisie is likely to be pressed and rolled back on a world scale. Under such conditions its ability to contain and coopt oppo­sition will certainly shrink. The w ar in Viet Nam has already dem onstrated as m uch. Faced with enorm ous claims on national resources, Johnson has had to give up m uch of his plan to contain the b lack revolt at hom e and he has contribu ted thereby to the radicaliz- ation of the black masses. We may expect future crises to shake the A m erican regime in analagous ways, and as the war has shown, this pa ttern created favorable opportunities for a revitalized Left in the advanced countries.

W hether or not these opportunities can be realiz­ed depends largely on our own wisdom and effort. The opportunities could easily be throw n away by timidity or, alternatively, by absurd adventurism . Avoidance of these twin pitfalls depends entirely on our own ability to analyze.and understand a rapidly changing and increasingly com plex world. The failu­re of the Left in North A m erica has not, as one of our local ignoram uses recently suggested, been due to its passivity. This is an idle slander, which betrays and alm ost total ignorance of its history. On the contrary, it has been and rem ains courageous, m ilitant, and ac­tion-oriented. The problem has been its failure to understand the world in which its action must take place and it has therefore spent its best efforts with­out lasting results. For this reason alone, those who deprecate theoretical work and scorn the intellectu­al com m unity are proposing to lead you to one m ore ac t of senseless adventures, which can only end in defeat and disillutionm ent.

Singly none, Singly none”

Now that the Oberfeld-syn- drom e of obfuscating shibbo­leth - shouting, English isolat­ionism and passionate concern for The Buck and little m ore has exhausted itself in its own irrelevance, we m ust tu rn our a tten tion to the real signifi­cance of our m em bership in UGEQ.

As m em bers of the Quebec student union, we have address­ed ourselves clearly and une­quivocally to the m ajor pro­blems of m odern industrial society as they face the student- citizen of Q uebec. We have jo ined with Loyola, McGill, and M arionapolis as a united English contingent in a province w here 82 per cen t are French, signifying our com m on con­cerns which transcend the lan­guage barrier. We have jo in­ed in a Union that has pledg­ed itself not to sit com fortably in the places of higher learn­ing unless the doors are opened to all who would join us.

Raised in an age of The Bomb, The Computer, The Separation of Action and Va­lues, and Centralized Decision- Making, we have pledged our­selves to rehum anize our educa­tion, our society and in the process our personal lives.

We have pledged ourselves to seek alternatives to the false rhetoric of the North A m erican political m achine which con­

dones and perpetuates a war which is quickly obscuring Auschwitz and H iroshim a in its obscenity.

We have understood, som e­tim es painfully, that to speak of defending freedom , in this world w here m en are scarcely free to be hum an or even to

live, is to speak the m ost hor­rendous lie in recen t history.

By joining UGEQ, we have helped to take hum anism out of philosophical tracts and constitutions and to inject it in to the massive apparatus of the co rpora te society. U G EQ has united us in a co-ordinat­ed effort to m ake the pow er­ful heed their own rhetoric by force of a united front with resources, num bers and or­ganization. U G EQ has united us into a force tha t can po ten ti­ally aw aken those whose wits

have been dulled in an alienat­ing and continually brutal society which continues to alienate and brutalize w ithout apology.

By rem aining in U G EQ we renew our pledge and our com m itm ent to advance our society and turn it from its path of self-destruction and suffocation. As students, we must, before anyone, realize the m agnitude of the problem s our society faces and seek unity to overcom e them .

To rem ain in U G EQ is to rem ain in the m ainstream of Quebec society. To withdraw from U G EQ is to seek an os­trich-like attitude to fearsom e problem s, leaving our rear ends to be kicked by anyone brave enough to have his head out of the sand. We m ust take up the challenge of U GEQ with new vigour and understand that the m ost meaningful ac t­ivities in our society are those attem pting to change it.

“Step by step, the longest m archCan be won, can be won. M any stones caiy' form an archSingly none, singly none. And by union w hat we will Can be accom plished still. Drops of w ater turn a mill Singly none, singly none.”

Cagers lose twoThe Varsity Basketball team suffered two

defeats at the hands of American teams over the week-end, however, their biggest lo ss may have been to the clutches of that great American institution, Uncle Sam’s Army.

All factors indicate that American star Richie Campoli’s short collegiate basketball career may be at an end. Campoli has been fighting the designs of his draft board for the past month and last week, he returned home to Albany to submitt his written appeal.lnstead of returning to Montreal last Friday with the two visiting Al­bany squads, Campoli was forced to remain at home and if information garnered from the Al­bany people is correct, Campoli’s induction into the American Army appears to be imminent.

Campoli’s loss would be another blow to the shattered hopes of Coach Fred Whitacre, who, at the beginning of the season, had seriously hoped to field a strong and exciting team.

Show well against Pharmaceutical.Friday night, the Georgians put on a spirited

display of basketball which fell short as they lost 80 - 64 to Albany Pharm aceutical College.

Carl Robb showed that his brilliant play a- gainst University of M ontreal was no fluke 4s he netted 12 points in each half to finish as high man with 24. Robb is the same heady type of ballplayer as Campoli, with an equally devas- ting outside shot.

Wilf Jackson and Mike Hirsch also played strong games. Hirsch was particularly ou tstan­ding during the second half in which he scored 11 points to finish with 15. Jackson was a hustl­ing ball of fire all the evening as he took over the reigns of leadership with C aptain Brian Cunliffe still sidelined with a back injury. Jack­son no tcheu 12 points in the contest, 8 in the first half.

Rod W ard with 6 points, Dave W ilding with 3

over weekendby Stewart PHELAN

and Fraser Adams and Peter Tulk with 2 each closed out the scoring for the Varsity.

Outplayed SaturdayThe A m erican’s superior shooting was never

m ore evident than on Saturday at M acD onald w here the G eorgians w ere trounced 99 - 50 by Albany Junior College.

Sir George remained in the game for the first ten minutes before a crumbling defense and a lack of bench strength enabled Albany to pull away. Leading 17-16, the Americans pumped in 4 straigh t b ask e ts to grab a commanding lead which they continued to enlarge upon throughout the remainder of the game as they led 50-26 at the half.

Once again, Wilf Jackson was one of the ou t­standing players for the G eorgians as he scored a team high of 14 points and continued to display hustle and drive.

Carl Robb, after his perform ance the previous evening, was closely guarded and m anaged only 10 points - all in the first half.

M ike Hirsch and Rod W ard contribu ted 10 and 11 points respectively to the G eorgian cause while Fraser Adams and W ilding netted 3 and 2 points .

Georgians set to meet CMR in initial home game

T onight’s gam e against CMR will see a fam iliar face in the G eorgian lineup.

Joe Rae, a flashy defencem an who shone when he was with the G eorgians two years ago, is back at Sir G eorge after a one year stay at Loyola.

Rae served well as a defence­man with the Loyola W arriors, but Coach Paul Arsenault has him lined up as a right winger along with cen ter Toby O

Brien and left winger Bill El- lyett.

A rsenault sees an im prove­m ent in the showing of his char­ges if they can direct attention to backchecking.

“W e’re pretty solid” said Ar­senault, “now that we have three good lines”.

“W ebster, M cJannet and Bob Philip have been locking good while Snell, LeCouffe, and W ar­ren Gill are com ing along”.

“If we can start to backcheck w e're going to do well.”

“Very few of our forwards have been concentrating on de­fensive work. W e’re making errors in our own end of the rink, and th a t’s w hat causing the bad play”.

Before the season is out, ano­ther fam iliar face w ill be back w ith the Georgians. After h is annual run-in with Coach A rsenault, Phil Sutton has in­dicated that he is willing to play.

Sutton has already started w orkouts with the team , but he’s not expected back in the lineup until a fter Christmas.

by Allan HILTON

Phil Sutton rejoined the team

Gariepy QuitsFred G ariepy, the fourth

year student who was attem p­ting a com eback, has left the team .

“He just d idn’t feel he was im proving,” said Arsenault, “so he’s left. It was his own decision”.

“Cagoerge has played well in practice, and he looked good in the gam e against Bishop’s,” A rsenault said.

T onight’s gam e against Colle­ge M ilitaire Rqyale will be the fourth league gam e for the G eorgians. Sir George has a 1-1- 1 record.

Doug Cageorge has taken o- ver as the first string goaler and John M orrison has moved up from the Jay Vees as back­up goalie.

The loss by the lopsided sco­re 10 - 2 to the University of Sherbrooke, saw the G eor­gians carrying only seven for­wards.

Bill Ellyet, who sat out the last gam e with an injured back, is expected to return .

G ord Ross, injured since the beginning of training cam p, w on’t be back until the middle of the season.
