Welcome to university Many students here at the university, many people in

society, are wandering aimlessly about. Strangers in their own lives, there is no place for them. They are

people who have not learned to compromise, who, for I example, have come to the university to learn to ques-

tion, to grow, to learn-all thestandard things that sound like cliches because no one takes them seriously. And they find at one point or another that for them to be-

come part of society, to become ‘lawyers, ministers, business men, or people in government, very often they

must compromise those principles which were most dear to them.

They must suppress the most creative impulses that they have; this is a prior conditi.on for being part-of the

system. The university is well structured, well tooled, to turn our people with all the sharp edges worn off-the well-rounded person. The university is well equipped to

produce that sort of person, and this means that the best among the people who enter must for four years wander aimlessly much of the time questioning why they are on

campus at all, doubting whether there is any point in what they are doing, and looking toward a very bleak

existence afterward in a game in which all of the rules have been made up-rules which one cannot really amend.

ts go out in maternity ward Despite physical-plant and

planning’s cleanup crews and no electricity, health-services moved into its new building schedule last week. Physical-plant began the final touches on Wednesday. Other crews worked to restore power which was interrupted when a piece of cons true tion equipment cut cable under Laurel creek. Service is expected to be restored sometime this week but in the meantime health-services must operate in the dark.

When classes start, health-ser- vices will be staffed by four doctors. Dr. Helen Reesor, the university physician will be in

two days a week for four hours, and three new doctors will each be in one day a week for four hours. The staff is completed by three day-nurses and a nurse for each of the evening and night shifts which will be for emer- gencies only.

The building has several day- care rooms and facilities for about a dozen overnight patients. However, these rooms will not be ready until October.

An apartment on the second ’ floor will be used by Mrs. Sadie Wood, one of the nurses, and her husband who is the maintenance man responsible for the building.

The SCM and the Society of The sponsors have set a goal

cert featuring classical pianist Anton Kuerti.

All proceeds will go to pur- chase medical kits for Vietnam. Kuerti, who is pianist in residence at the Conservatory of Music in Toronto, is donating his time and is transporting his piano at his own cost. Local sponsors, in- cluding many university profes- sors, are underwriting other costs.

The concert will be classical, on the program are selections from Schubert, Chopin, Schumann and Skiabin.

It will be held Sept. 29 at 8:30 p.m. in Rockway Mennonite

of $1000. With this money, the Society of Friends will make UP medical kits. These kits, which contain medicine and bandages, retail for $170 but the Quakers can make them for $40.

The Quakers distribute their aid equally among the North Vietnamese, the Viet Cong and the South Vietnamese.

The Quakers will also have a part in Orientation. ‘68. During orientation week a member of the Friends who has been in Vietnam will be on campus to give a talk in conjunction with the film “The survivors”.

GradSoc aids foreign students

The grad society is doing its thing.

At the request of the housing office the graduate society is trying to mobilize grad students to assist in the orientation of foreign students.

A circular has been sent to all grad students asking them to help by driving newly-arrived students from the airport or

train station and by providing temporary accomodation.

This fall between 200 and 300 foreign students will be on cam- pus. Most of these students are graduates.

GradSoc president Brad Munro said there had been a satisfying response to the circular but noted he would like to see more grad students involved in the program.

Demonstrators from OUS greet- ed fall returnees at three schools with placards saying ‘Welcome back niggers’ .

The placards referred to ‘The student as nigger,’ an article widely reprinted in university newspapers across Canada last year. The article by Jerry Farber, then an English lecturer at a California college? parallels the repression of students and Ameri- can blacks.

OUS distributed about 3000 copies of ‘The student as nigger’

The Canadian Press reported the students did not support the OUS actions, and one principal was quoted as saying what a wonderful relationship he had with his students.

Brian Switzman, OUS presi- dent, challenged the reports es- pecially the alleged disgust of the students with some four-letter words in the article.

“All the students that were handed the article read it, and no one threw it away,” said Switz- man.

Secretaries in the foreign- student office have confirmed the existence of problems with foreign-student officer Edith Beausoieii.

“Sometimes she’s nice t,o me, but that’s different from the way she treats many of the students”, said Oricia Borys, one of Mrs. Beausoleii’s secretaries.

Miss Borys and her associate. Mrs. Joyce Cotter, said they were moved to talk to the Chevron hoping it could help clear up the problem and bring better service to foreign students.

Mrs. Beausoleil has -been accus-- ed by student council officials of holding views incompatible with her job. The problem, which had been the subject of private dis- cussions, broke into the open during the summer. It followed the publications of excerpts from letters which quoted Mrs. Beau- soieil making remarks which showed bias against foreigners.

The secretaries confirmed the remarks printed in tne Chevron were typical of those heard around the office. They said they had long ago approached provost Scott and informed him of the probie, but they had never heard any further.

They regretted there has been no improvement since the present controversy developed.

“You’re not accomplishing anything, because Joyce and I get ail the blame, and she doesn’t reaiize there is a problem,” said Miss Borys.

Both the secretaries have

applied for transfers and said they would be very willing to talk to any investigating body.

But there will not be an invest- igation. [Jniversity president Ger-/ ry Hagey has agreed to a commit- tee but it will only study possible restructuring of the housing and foreign-student office. It will not investigate any charges against Mrs. Beausoleil.

The committee was set up after a group of student council members confronted Hagey and demanded the situation be re- solved. But the committee has bogged down in a hassle over terms of reference.

The problem stems from a federation desire to see the faculty representatives chosen by the Faculty Association rather by the deans or the administration. Federation representatives argue the faculty members should be

c-hosen by their elected repre- sentatives in the same way student representatives are appointed by the federation.

“We want the faculty repre- sentatives appointed by the faculty at larger and not by the illegitimate authority of the administration,” said federation vicepresident Tom Patterson.

Acting president Howard Petch has decided to shelve the issue until President Hagey returns next week from a six-week vaca- tion.

Foreign students are register- ing on campus now.

Fresh will get concerts dances and teach-in

Orientation ‘68 will mix some revolutionary ideas with much of the traditional orientation activity.

Registration lineups will be somewhat modified but students must still register sometime this week.

Freshmen will assemble at 7:30 a.m. Saturday for slave day, the first event in the federation orientation program. This is the university’s traditional contribu- tion to the annual Kitchener- Waterloo charity drive. Freshman slaves are rented out to local citizens and their wages are turned over to charitable or- ganizations in the Twin Cit,ies. Last year $3000 was raised by the freshman class.

Saturday night there will be a dance on the Village roof for the tired frosh.

Sunday morning frosh will gather in lot H for the traditional scavenger hunt. However, orien- tation chairman George Loney promises a new twist for this year.

At 8 pm, a concert with Ray Stevens is tentatively scheduled for Glenbriar curling rink.

Monday evening, a steer roast will be held in Seagram stadium before an exhibition football game with Edmonton.

Tuesday evening the first part of M.F.T.. the orientation teach- in, will be held in the campus center with sneaker Eric Mann from Columbia University, New = York. M.F.T. part two will be held Wednesday night. will be held Wednesday night.

Thursday night will feature a concert at the K-W Auditorium with the Association.

George Loney

Orientation winds up Friday night with the frosh hop and the selection of the frosh queeri.

Llone y outlined some ways Orientation ‘68 differs from former years.

“The main differences are using integrated groups and putting less emphasis on acade- mic matters. Discussion groups will not be made up of only one faculty but will be mixed.

“We are not going to worry too much about academic mat- ters If a student has a question about courses we will direct him to academic advisors.

“Our main purpose is to encourage freshmen to question such traditional values of the university as the depersonalizing lecture system and to work out an analysis of society which gives full value to personal worth. ”

Union of Students shrugged pff a minor f iurry of small-campus withdrawals during its 1968 con- gress to mount an attack on so- ciety at large as it anaiyzed the problems of the modern univer- sity.

The congress at the University of Gueiph opened Aug. 28 with 40 members. Before it wrapped things up with an 18-hour plenary session that dragged on until 7:45 am Sept. 4, the membership drop- ped to 27, climbed to 30, then hit 34 with hopes for more.

In between disavowals and com- mitments to the union, delegates worked out an anti-capitalist and anti-imperialist critique of soci- ety-although they balked at a four-s’quare stand for sociaiism- labelled corporate capitalism as the cause of repressive instincts in Canadian universities, and deman- ded that student unions have con- trol over “the learning process and university decision-making.”

They also came out 3 to 1 behind a statement condemning U.S. war efforts in Vietnam and endorsing the Vietnamese Na tionai Liber- ation Front in its “struggle for national iibera tion. ”

And they acclaimed as presi- dent-elect Martin Loney, key fi- gure in Simon Fraser Univer- sity’s battle for democratization who called in his acceptance speech for a mass action-oriented movement for Canadian students.

The withdrawals came on the third day of the congress as the deadline for signing a 1968-69 com- mitment to CUS drew nearer.

The tension came as campuses calling for structural changes in CUS lost ground to policy-makers who ended up largely responsible for the major congress resoiu- tions. British Columbia and Man- itoba, with 18,000 and 12,OOb stud- ents respectively, also were in- fluenced by prospects of a $1 per capita levy-up 25 cents a head.

UBC and Manitoba both re- fused to sign commitment forms before the deadline, but by con- gress end they were back in on the basis of special financial clauses which permit them to pay less than $1 a student if necessary.

University of Victoria also puli- ed its 4,800 students out temporar- ily, opting for a wait-and-see atti- tude toward congress policy, but it was back before the final pienar y Sept. 3.

Other withdrawals, mainly in- volving small campuses, struck however, and the only bright light for incoming CUS president Peter Warrian lay in scattered prom- ises of campus referendums among vanishing members.

Biggest blow that day was laid

by the University of Saskatche- wan’s Saskatoon campus, which charged through president Eric Olson that CUS is riddled with “leftist dogma.”

Olson later promised to place the question of a referendum be- fore his council, but his strongiy- worded statement brought Warrian to offer his resignation if the con- gress wished it.

Half an hour later Warrian had secured a unanimous vote of con- fidence and drawn a standing ov- ation from the plenary.

Also applauded was an an- nouncement by Memorial Univer- sity of Newfoundland, which pulled out of CUS two years ago in a dramatic policy squabble, that it plans a referendum on return- ing. Mount St. Vincent reported plans to return as well, ending a two-year boycott.

Congress policy had to await the outcome of the structures battles which occupied most of the first two days. The end result of that was a resolution placing four regional field workers across the country and replacing the board of officers with a region- ally-composed national council in an attempt to meet demands for decentraiization.

With that behind them, delegates divided into commissions on the student in society, student power and education.

The anti-imperialist critique emerging from the student-in-so- ciety group spelled success for a University of Toronto position maintained for three days in the face of both right- and left-wing criticism.

The resolution charged that “Canadian society is not self determined ; our cultural, political and economic lives are dominated by giant American corporations. ”

“Self-determination in education will be possible only in a society which is self-determined,” the re- solution said as it found the roots of authoritarianism and repres- sion in imperialist and capitalist economies.

But Toronto and a congress majority killed an attempt to call for a “socialist” alternative, vot- ing for “non-exploitative” despite pressure in commission and an hour-long floor fight in plenary.

The education commission underplayed a move for a stand on alliances with non-university groups-although it urged mem- ber unions to condemn student scabbing and ensure employees at their universities are unioniz- ed-- and backed up the anti-capita- list stand with a lengthy series of

resolutions blasting the Canadian university as an “imperialist institution.”

The education resolutions con- demned military research in un- iversities, demanded that camp- uses refuse money intended for military research and urged member unions to oppose financial gifts to their universities if these contradicted CUS policy.

The congress adopted other education resolutions redefining universal accessibility to open universities to non-students and calling for curriculum control by students and faculty concerned. Other sections demanded that pro- fessors become resource persons.

The student power proposal, worked out by Simon Fraser’s John Cleveland, involved parallel decision-making structures* be- tween students and faculty at departmental levels.

Cleveland, calling for confront- ation and mass-movement, out- lined a structure in which both student and faculty committees would have veto power over each other’s actions.

Alternative action would involve a reconstituted senate with an equal number of students and faculty. The board of governors would be abolished in either case.

The proposal also condemned the tenure policy of the Canadian Association of IJniversity Tea- chers as a “guild professionaiist concept of status and power which subordinates teaching to research and intellectual exchange to competition between professors and students in the classroom and departmental politics.”

The Waterloo delegation to the CUS congress was headed by federation president Brian Iier. Other official delegates were vicepresident Tom Patterson, ex- ternal-relations chairman Dave Young, student-activities chairman Jim Keron, education chairman Ian Caivert, council members Cyril Levitt and Dave Cubberiey, and orientation head George Loney.

While not an outstanding deie- gation at the congress, the Water- loo delegates were active partic- ipants and supported the major stands taken by the congress.

Iier was elected to the program commission that met during the congress to oversee program resolutions and set priorities for approval by the congress.

Young, a former vicepresident of CL’S, served as chairman during two sessions of the plenary. He was easily elected to the CUS national council. which will super- vise the operations of the union during the year.

GUELPH (CUP)-“Out of con- frontation comes consciousness and out of consciousness comes action. ”

Speaking at the 32nd CUS Con- gress, Martin Loney, 24, presi- dent-elect of the Canadian Union of Students told of his plans to build CUS into a mass move- ment for Canadian students- the only way, he says, that stu- dents can “effect real change in the university. ”

“But the things that will bring change will not be determined by our resolutions, but by what people do with these resolutions on their campuses. ”

Loney, acclaimed midst thun- derous applause, urged delegates to go back to their campuses and “turn people on to social change-

Hagey’s unwritten speech... it’s the thought that counts ’

Administration president Gerry Hagey is unfortunately not talking to the Chevron right now.

This communications gap makes it difficult for president Hage y to express his welcome to the many new students now entering our community.

In order not to let temporary difficulties break the tradition of a presidents welcome the folio w- ing is presented as being typical of what we know the prasident would like to say to all of you.

Welcome, Frosh, to our great University. We are glad you

came. I am privileged, as y?u are, to be a part of this com- munity of excellence. What makes Waterloo great are the great people you will find here and this great state which nurtures all that we do. I encouraged you to think of this campus as your home away from home.

Equally important, I want you to regard me ‘as your parent, your friend and your president. My door is always open to you- be sure to call my secretary for an appointment. I have on my staff trained specialists in all areas of personal, social, emotional and spiritual life who are anxious to talk with you ab’out your problems. Above all, we want you to adjust to Waterloo life and I know you are eager to do this as we are to help you do it.

Although there are 2,000 of you out there in that great audience, you will soon learn that the administration and faculty will treat you as individuals. This will be especially true for those of you who use your matriculation number at; all times. This is just one of the unique techniques we utilize to become better ac-‘ quainted.

You have heard, I know, that Waterloo is a star of academic brilli’ance. This is true. You will need to study hard. In fact, take a moment to look to your left and your right-statistically speaking, one of your neighbors will not be here after this year. And it could be you. But we recognize that all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy, so we who care about your total development as whole persons have developed a meaningful variety of extra-curricular a&i- vities to help you be happy and enjoy college life. And as con- cerned. humane educators we have designed a list of only 78 rules and regulations to permit-indeed, make it possible for-you to live together in harmony. For we

are, as ,you will soon learn, one big happy family.

We are also a family that produces ; we are proud of our products. As far as Waterloo is concerned, sales are booming for we are sending graduates all over the country. So don’t be- come discouraged; despite the many classes, the monotony of term papers, the solitude of study, and the hours upon hours of reading required pf you, it will be worth it-for I am thrilled to inform you that our graduates earn on the average approximately $175,000 more in their lifetimes than those unfortunate souls who. do not go to college.

In this connection, you can see then the importance of

President J G Ham selecting a major as soon as possible. Your doing this not only makes it less complicated for the University, but it assures you of having a slot to fit into here and in the business world or whatever later. If you have trouble choosing a career, feel free to talk to any professor; all are eager to help youybe sure to note their office hours.

Finally, let me say that our main job is to prepare you for life so you can easily make the transition into the great society. Have a wonderful four years, and try to remember the words of my favorite poem whidh I repeat whenever I feel the need for inspiration : This world that we’re a-livin-in

is mighty hard to beat. You get a thorn with every, rose, But ain’t t.he roses sweet.

Union boss rejects student suppoft TORONTO (CUP )-Six repre-

sentatives of the Ontario and Canadian Unions of Students were expelled from the annual Labor Day Parade last week. ’

The six came to march with the Toronto and District Labor coun- cil, following up a telegram sent +o the council the night before by the, CUS congress expressing support for labor and student- worker solidarity.

Initially, parade marshal Ken Verral refused the students per- mission to join the union ranks because they had not secured. a march permit.

Union tried to help, givj,ng the students hats and badges of the union so they might carry CUS and OUS banners in the steel: workers bloc. But six streets later, Vera1 expelled them threat- ening to call the police.

’ In response, the CUS congress sent a second telegram pro- testing the “forcible expulsion of the joint CUS-OUS dele- gation” from the Toronto parade. The telegram said, “We hope the persons responsible for this action will be severelv renriman- ded. It is our belief rank-and- file trade unionists were unaware of and would not have supported this arbitrary expulsion. ’ ’

Robertson noted that a conven-

The University of Waterloo is the first Canadian university to use computer timetabling. The system is based on preregistra- tion; students select the courses they want without regard to a timetable. The computer then processes the preregistration data and comes up with a master timetable which satisfies the greatest number of students. Students who cannot fit into this timetable must then change their course load.

Most Waterloo students prereg- istered under this system. En- gineering and applied chemistry were left out because their pro- grams do not have a sufficient number of electives.

The 20 percent rejection rate was somewhat higher than the five percent initially expected. However, Pat Robertson, direc- tor of academic services, attri- buted part of this to cancelled

tional timetable produced man- ually had only been able to sat- isfy 50 percent of student re- quests.

Schedules and fee information have been mailed out to almost all students. Originally, fees were to have been paid by mail and students would only come on campus to have ID cards validated. However, the mail strike delayed mailing so fees will be paid on campus.

Students who have received valid schedules must come to campus this week and pay fees at Seagram gym.

Students whose course selec- tion was rejected by the computer must first go to the scheduling center which has been set up in the old federation building. Once a valid schedule has been worked out there students can make the trip over to the Seagram gym.

Engineers will register at

the gym Thursday in the old way.

Course changes will also be pro- cessed by the WASS system. A student who changes a course will have to go to the scheduling center to have a new schedule worked.

“We hope to give 24-hour ser- vice on this,” said Robertson. “If a student submits a new course selection one day, he should have a new schedule the next day.”

On the effects of the system, Robertson said, “For the first time we know what students actually want. ”

He explained that under the old system many students could not choose the courses they wanted because they were faced with a fixed timetable.

If physics and anthropology were at the same time, for ex- ample, students couldn’t take both of them although that com- bination might be very popular.

Robertson suggested faculty would be able to alter course offerings now that they had more indication of student wishes.

Old buildings never die;. they passed on to someone else. Ten years ago annex one housed the entire university. Then the federation and the Chevron used it for several years. The re- gistrar is using it as a scheduling center now. After him. who knows? Maybe final death.

Rio-de- Janeiro (Special) Acceptance of a reform of the edUCatiOna

system has now been forced upon the Brazilian Government after de- monstrations in almost all of Brazil’s cities had attained unprecedented proportions. Recently about 3,000 students in Rio de Janeiro occupied the centre of the city and paralysed the traffic for several hours. About 1,000 students who had occupied the “Universidad Central” tried to break through a police cordon. This led to the most violent clashes so far with the police. The National Union of Brazilian Students (UNEB), however, expressed its dissatisfaction with the Government’s measures to settle the conflict and added: “We are fighting for the unrestricted practice of democratic liberties and against the present dictatorship”.

Ecuador Quito (Special) A settlement of the one-and-a-half-month strike at

the “Universidad Central de Quito” was reached after a University Council convened by the students had decided to agree to six points from a list of demands that had been drawn up by the strike com- mittee. The Rector of the University declared this University Council to be illegal and its decisions to be null and void because it had been convened by students and only three professors had taken part in it. After the strike had ended, the Rector in his turn convended a University Council whose decisions were reject.ed by a full assembly called by the students. During this full assembly, the previously expressed demand that the Rector and the vice-rector resign from their posts was then made again in the form of an ultimatum. They are accused of making university reform impossible as a result of their authori- tarian attitude.

Rome (Special) The student representatives at the Papal University (Gregoriana) in Rome passed a resolution calling on the university

authorities not only to devote the coming academic year to the study of reforms in such fields as teaching methods, subjects for instruction and the examination system. Among other things, the student repre- sentatives demanded the introduction of Italian-alongside Latin-as a second classroom language.

ice Mexico City (Special) The street fighting between demonstrating

students and squads of police that shook Mexico City on 29th July has been described as the most serious disturbance to have taken place in the Mexican capital for a long time. It caused at least one death and resulted in more than 300 injured. The demonstrations had started on 26th July on the occasion of the 15th anniversary of the Cuban revolution. They soon took on an anti-American character and led to the first clashes the same day. Demonstrators repeatedly chanted the words of “Che“ Guevara, the late friend of Fidel Castro, who had demanded : ‘Create t,wo. three, many Vietnams” in Latin America. When. on 30th July about 500 demonstrators attempted to march on the American embassy, they were stopped by large numbers of police with riot equipment. In the street fighting that followed, many young people fled onto rooftops and from there they hurled Molotov-Cocktails and stones at the police. The latter used tear gas and arrested 280 demon- strators. Finally, paratroopers in battle-kit moved in with fixed bayonets and light tanks of the Mexican army entered t,he centre of Mexico Citv. A Bazooka was employed to burst open one of the gates in front of the university building and the students-who had barricaded themselves behind it were driven from the pre!~ijses and out oi’ ihe b!li!dicg.

2700 fresh join university,* ._ enioI/hent rises to 8000 *

Do you know how many stu- dents will be at Waterloo this year? Well, neither does the registrar or anyone else. But the people in

the registrar’s office looked at thousands of applications and after a, heart,-to-heart talk with the computer, they made a wild ,guess. And this is what they came up with.

The total enrollment has in- creased I over’ last year but the jump is modest compared to the leap in numbers the year before. In the coming year Waterloo will

-have some 8000 students. The 1967-

ment in engineering ‘will rise to 2294 from 2180 last year. i

The math faculty may’ soon challenge the plumbers’ number one position. The 670-student freshman class is the same size as last year but large second and third-year classes cause the total _ enrollment to rise from 1429 to 1644.

The arts faculty has fallen behind with relation to math. Last year the two faculties were nearly equal in size. However actual enrollment is increasing from 1411 to 1536. The freshman class is 660 strong.

which will be a large proportion of the total enrollment of‘355. The size of the school ‘has increased 50 percent over last year.

And ‘then. on top I of everything else there are 1052 grads, a few more than: the 960 last year.

Add them all together and you come up with the third largest university in -Ontario. Only Tor- OntO with 28.000-and Western with 10,000 are,larger. ’

68 enrollment of 7200 represented Science has taken its share of a 25 percent increase over the the increase in students. Total for south quad 5600 students here two years ago. ’ Expected registration figures

from the registrar’s office indi- cate all faculties will share in the c- increase.

Engineering maintains its tra- ditional numerical superiority. Freshman enrollment in engineer-

,- ing has been limited for several ” years. This year’s first-year class of 672 is onlv slightly larger than last years. The total enroll-

enrollment will be 1000 this year, an increase of 129 over last year. 450 freshmen are joining the , faculty.

The university’s two schools are growing rapidly. The archi- tecture school, going into its sec- ond year, will have 80 students, 55 of them freshmen. Last year’s class had only 36 students.

The physical-education school has a. first-year class of 210

Village warden Ron Eydt has found one new tutor to replace the two who resigned over the summer. Physics prof Ken Wool- ner will become tutor for south replacing prof Bill Nicoll.

Eydt has not yet found a replacement for west quadrant tutor John Capindale but he indicated that one will be ap- pointed shortly.

Traditional apparel1 for Water- loo men has always been jeans and a university jacket, but things are starting to change.

Waterloo radicals should start appearing in Nehru ’ jackets in the hope that non-violent tactics might still succeed this year.

Always prepared for the worse, however, sweaters this year should be in bright autumn colours to blend into the autumn background. Snipers take note.

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT

New System of Pay Parking

The new system of pay parking has resulted from all party discussions emanating from the Operations Council, thence through the President’s Council and finally to the President. The new rates are to be in effect for a year com- mencing October 1, 1968. It is intended that the Operations Council review the progress and costs of the system period- ically throughout the year with a view to ensuring the efficiency and economy of the operation.

SUMMARY 1. Pay parking to continue.

. 2. New three-tier rate structure to become effective Octo- ber 1, 1968. The present $2 per month charge will be in effect until that time.

3. New rates to be as follows: a) Free - Seagram Stadium Lot

. bj $1.75monthlY - Lots A, C, J, K: L, N, Psychol- = ogy & Optometry

c) $3.00 monthly - Lots B, B-l, D dz H

4. Present occupants of any lot may remain in that lot if they wish and are prepared to pay the new rate.

5. Persons wishing to relinquish their present lot assign- ment should notify the Security Department by memo marked “Request for Barking Lot change”. This memo should state: a) monthly rate desired to pay, and b) preference for a lot at that rate-if space is avail-

available. r 6. Be-assignment of vacancies will be based on availabil-

ity as follows : a) Areas will continue to be assigned to faculties and

major staff units by the Deans and senior staff department heads in consultation with the Director of Security.

b) Individual “preference/availability” problems will be resolved between the Director of Security and the Deans and/or the senior staff department heads.

7. Parking assignments are provided on the clear under- standing that they are effective 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.., Mon- day through Friday. They are not effective week-ends . or statutory holidays.

8. Lot B-l will be reserved after 6 p.m. for the benefit of Faculty and Staff who may have to be on campus in the evening. I

9. Extension students and part-time students will be charged a flat rate of $2.00 per course.

10. On occasion it may be necessary to restrict parking in certain areas when special functions are being h.eld.

NOTES a) It is intended to ascertain the wishes of faculty and

and staff by early September in hopes of having these applications processed and new decals issued before the large influx of students in mid- September.

b) Incoming students will be processed as soon as pos-

sible after registration day .with a goal of having most of the assignment and issuing of decals completed by October 1st.

c) The new parking rate schedule will come into effect on October 1st and deductions will commence with the October pay for faculty and staff.

Kumpus kop sciys\par&ing ’ imdemocratic _.. The lmiversity security force lost one oR its better officers when Cord Crooks decided

. Ids had enough. Here he out&es some Of the problems he sees as he lea&, by Gord Crooks

The security department of this university has received much critisism in the past which has gone unanswered, other than by the attempt of Brian Iler to smooth things out a little. His letter in the Chevron was appreciated by the department, but unfortun- ately it could not seek out th\e roots of the problems.

Let me first of all say as a member of the security department for the past 15 months I have found all the other officers I have’worked with to be first- class men doing what I consider a second-class job.

The main duties here are enforcing the parking regulations (if they exist) and this I set about doing in spring 1967.

I joined the force after many years police experi- ence, and as it is a growing profession, I accepted the position with both curiosity and a sense of un- usual happening. This was completely new to me, and the challenge seemed to beckon.

I am however, most demoralized after only 18 months. regulations (if they exist) and this I set about doing ’ inspring 1967.

I spent four months studing the existing regula- tions, studied those of other universities in both Canada and the United States, and then set to work revising and updating ours. This was not easy. I had much contact with the department of transport and other legal bodies.

However, I did manage to complete them before the fall term last year. What happened to them? You tell me. All I know is the university paid my salary for four months while I carried out .this project, and since then I have heard no more about them.

Selective parking is undemocratic At present, I can only say the present’ system of

parking and enforcement is a farce. All the security members realize this, even Al

- Romenco (security head) himself. ,We have a system which absolutely knocks the bottom out of democ- racy. I am of course referring tb selective parking.

I think most will agree with me that the presiden- tial staff should be allocated reserved areas, along

I with deans, and possibly heads of departments. But there are now more hangers-on receiving selective parking than can be imagined.

The renowned lot .D has a capacity of 143 cars. This area is the most central for ‘the arts library, modern-language building, social science, and prac- tically every office connected with administration which a student needs to visit.

However, except for seven spaces reserved for visitors, -all others are allocated to be._filled by one vehicle frcm 8 : 30 until 5 daily. This means all others, no matter who they are or what their requirements, cannot park in this area at any time.

A student wishing to return a book to the library may park at the rear of lot A only and walk the remaining half mile to the library-no matter if he will be only five minutes.

Why a number of spaces cannot be allocated as 20-or 30-minute areas I do not know. It would .mean perhaps 25 clerical staff would have to park in lot H instead of D and walk over the hill. That’s all the hardship required.

But when thesecurity department receives com- plaints from faculty and staff that some poor kid is

. parked in lot D they have no choice but to ticket.

Faculty don’t pay fines Of course issuing tickets, as with any police

department, causes resentment. But where this is aided by a wrong system, resentment is multiplied by 100. .

The student receives a ticket, He has very little choice but to pay, or his marks will be held up until he does. With the faculty and staff, however, things are very much different. They very rarely pay a ticket.

This is not fault of the security department or its director. The faculty or staff member receives a letter from the business office requesting payment. However, if no payment is made no further action is taken. .There are some ‘faculty members with anywhere from 20 to 60 tickets that will never be paid.

Legally I understand theruniversity has power to make salary deductions but is reluctant to carry this out. The university can of course take a citation to court. Rut it is a civil debt, not a traffic summons. and it would probably cost some $100 to obtain a $5 parking ticket fee.

So we have a stalemate. Yet the security officers

Campus kop-ou t Gord Crooks are expected to continue to enforce the regulations when they know the.ir final power-payment-ex’ists only for the student.

Of course it is fair to say that probably 80 percent of the faculty and staff abide by the code and park in designated areas only. If this were not so the system would collapse altogether.

It is high time the administration looked at this problem before it is too late, and before the univer- sity grows much bigger.

Of course the simplest solution, and the easiest to implement, would be to make the university a public place within the meaning of the Highway Traffic Act and have all offenses .dealt with in the proper legal manner.

This would bring faculty, staff and students .ab- solutely on the same level for parking and traffic offenses: This is the way it should be. I can see the reasons for academic segregation. But in the case of domestic uses all should be equal.

This may seem rather frightening at first, but believe me it would be an ideal set-up. It is the system employed in the United States at all uni-‘

versities, and although the last thing I want to see here is the complete American university police system, this particular branch of it should be imple- mented.

Mops critidized but still smile But to leave traffic behind, other things have really

angered me. Criticism in the Chevron’s Feedback was absolute-

ly unjustified, especially in the case of Tom Ashman (summer weekend vicechairman).

If any man received more help from this de- partment than Ashman I don’t know who he is. Yet because he gets told to get lost he cries like a baby: His dances make me laugh. Oh yes, they want the money at the door. Take it from anyone, city yobs, Toronto cast-offs. And when these kids get a bit .flighty he runs like hell for security. Come off it, Ashman. Who are you trying to kid?

I remember taking a tumble down the food- services building stairs only a few months ago when ejecting one of your patrons who had refused to pay. I ended up with a busted knee and lost three days of work.

What happened when I tumbled? Everybody cheered.

Fortunately, the morale of the department is not affected too much by this criticism, but we all think Al Romenco should have cleared up these letters instead of issuing a notice that we should all act dumb and things would settle down.

I have-yet to see a letter from anyone thanking the department’s officers for some of the more hazardous duties they perform: standing in the middle of University Avenue in all weather directing traffic (and believe me, if you could see some of the drivers here that would be quite) an experience), acting as -messengers for telephone callers, turning out bunsens, opening doors for forgetful profs, chasing dogs that keep poor tutors awake at night, checking the psychology building on night shift (enough to turn any good man off his food), managing in the main to cheerful despite remarks such as, “Get- lost,” Lb Who the hell do you think you are?‘.’ “ Three jeers for the campus cops.” “Where’s your authority?”

Well, kids, I’ve had enough of you. I’m returning to police work properc Many of my

security colleagues have often felt the same, but somehow they manage’ to get over it. To them I bow deeply and wonder just how the hell they can be criticized and called down as a regular habit. be unable to do anything about it, and yet come out smiling next day.

Believe me, you lot, after seeing the kampus kops in the states. you don’t know how lucky you are.

Mommy and teacher ure confused policemen really do beat people by Stewart Saxe Chevron editor

Now it’s real. Now you know that cops hit kids over the head with guns. Its real because now you’ve seen it on TV and you’ve read about it in the papers.

But before Chicago it wasn’t real, it didn’t exist. Not because it wasn’t happening-but because the media didn’t tell you about it.

When it leaked out in places like the underground press you didn’t believe it. Policemen are good people. The authorities are nice liberals. Only the bad guy dies. Your mommy told you that. So did your teacher. So did the TV set.

And now mommy and teachers are wrong. And you’re not the only one who is confused. So are they. Because they believed.

The dissenters and demon- strators in Chicago during the Democratic convention won a bigger battle than they ever though possible. Days before the convention most radical leaders were telling their people to stay away. They were scared.

Dick Gregory, ex-star turned Black Power advocate, had been the first to be scared. By con- vention time the other leaders followed suit.

Gregory was afraid that if there was a mass protest, the CIA-FBI people would infiltrate it. Once inside they’d really do it up right. They’d probably shoot Humphrey and a few others for good measure.

Their goal would be obvious. In the resultant clamor from the American masses to restore law and order and put down the demonstrators, the right-wing could get laws passed that haven’t been heard of since the Nazis. They’d make Joe McCarthy’s anti-communist witch-hunt in the early 50’s look left-wing.

So instead of having more than 100,000 demonstrators, Chicago had under 15,000.

And they won.* They won because the right-

wingers were too anxious. They wanted to go into action now.

And Chicago’s mayor Richard Daley was no exception.

Daley’s law and order But Daley and his crew were

scared of the press. They wanted to keep things quiet. They wanted to show what prevailed in Daley’s Chicago was law and order read as suppression of blacks and hippies).

That meant he mustn’t allow the national press to run pic- tures of his police and guardsmen beating passive protestors.

He told his boys that. And to make sure he l was

obeyed, the cops beat up the reporters and cameramen. If all the cameras are broken there won’t be any pictures. Simple. ple.

That was a mistake. Because in the same manner as

Daley wanted to protect his own, the press establishment wanted to protect its own.

And so they told it like it was, and you saw it and read it. Hundreds hospitalized, brutal, un- justified beatings-blood on your TV screen.

And it’s all ironic because Deley should have known bet- ter. Past experience should have taught him to trust the profes- sional news media.

The unbiased press Over and over again the news

makers have shown they would cover up the truth and paint only bad pictures of protestors and good pictures of the autho- rities.

Why did the Times and other New York papers react that way? And why was it possible that Daley could have trusted the press in Chicago?

During the strike at Columbia University the press had acted very carefully to obscure the issue. When the police busted into the occupied buildings and assaulted hundreds inside, the New York Times had led the news media in calling the action peaceful. One reporter was hos- pitalized by police action, but when he submitted his story telling what had happened he was fired.

Because of built-in prejudices. The Washington bureau chief of the Times, speaking to a group of student journalists last month, said he found the actions of his home office indefensible and inexplicable. But simply stated, the problem is actually fairly obvious.

The cluss control plot Newspaper editors, television

news producers, publishers and so on are all part of the class the demonstrators are really attacking. Hence they naturally feel defensive.

Whether it be Columbia Uni- versity, Chicago or Waterloo, any demonstrations carried on mainly by youth against some kind of injustice will be aimed at the ruling group. Editors, producers and publishers are .part of that group. At Colum- bia and at Waterloo, the board of governors of the university in- cludes the publisher of the main newspaper.

But it’s not so much his con- scious interference as his un- conscious beliefs we must fear.

For editors, since they are part of their power group, will be unable to fairly hear and understand the cries of the pro- testors. They are convinced, as are their fellow liberals, that while society might have some problems, those problems can be solved quietly and through proper channels.

This is the result of their education and their whole way of life.

And so while Chicago may be a crack in the fairy tale spun out to reassure us, the crack will naturally be patched.

For our education and our in- formative media are trying des- perately to tell us our society and its leaders are really all right.

Our only hope. is that some of the many people who refused to believe the real stories about Columbia, and who were then shocked into an awareness by what happened in Chicago, will remember the lesson.

Their office 1s ten teet square and it’s open three hours a week, Their physical assets consist mainl>- of a secondhand desk but the officers of the I;niversity Employees’ Credit Union look for- ward to a bright future.

The credit union was formed two and a half years ago but it was only three weeks ago it got an office in the basement of the library. Previously it had been run from the office of a credit union member.

The credit union is open to the 500 faculty and 1200 staff on cam- pus. But there are only 160 mem- bers.

Credit committee chairman Frank Hopper, civil engineering. said nearly 80 percent of the members were staff. Faculty members with their higher sal- aries had less interest in the credit union concept.

Credit unions are financial institutions chartered as non- profit corporations to serve mem- bers only. The main service pro- vided is credit. Credit unions will loan money to members with little or no security. Larger credit unions can supply all the services of a chartered bank.

Credit unions are coopera- tives owned by their members. Each has one vote regardless of the amount he has invested. Officers are elected at a general meeting.

President of the university credit union is Art Baer. chemical engineering machine shop : vice- president Verne Martin. PP and P: treasurer Terry Harmer. payroll : secretary Sylvia Kan- son. chemical engineering ; board member Dick Knight, personnel.

Hopper looks forward to rapid growth in the future. The uni- versity has granted the credit union payroll deduction privileges since last November.

“Assets have more than doubled over the last year. Loans also have doubled. ” said Hopper.

Response to the credit union idea has not been especi’ally strong, he said.

“People who know what a credit union is by virture of having been a member of one come to us. Others have come to US when they are in finan-

.‘A lot of students art’ lron~ out of town and they ma>* go back home owing us moncl.. ”

He also felt students would have difficulty maintaining loan repayments because they don ‘t have a steady income. However. a credit union for students would be a good idea. he said. although there would be some problems with loans and with capital.

adopted a course similar to the U of W’s co-op program. 45 stu- dents are enrolling in a master Of social wbrk program which will involve alternate terms on cam- pus and work terms in such fields as the Childrens Aid Society. family counselling and mental hospitals.

Bean Rahn said the need for professional social workers in Canada is acute. All graduates could easil! be absorbed by agencies in the vicinity of the university. and the shortage is likely to increase in the coming years.

their arrival on campus, so she could write to them about the climatic conditions, cost of living, etc., in Canada, and to try to arrange -that they be met on arrival by one of their own coun- trymen. In short, the purpose was to make arrival in Canada as easy and as pleasant as possible.

As I do not know Mrs. Beau- soleil well (I have not met her in person) I have no idea what her personal feelings towards people of non-Canadian origin are. However in my corres- pondence and telephone con- versations with her I have found that in her work she is extremely concerned about the welfare of overseas graduate students, re- gardless of their racial origin. I cannot believe that her attitude reverses when dealing with under- graduate student problems.

It’s the end of the summer again and everyone is figuring out how far his or her summer earnings won’t reach. As a fe- male, full year student, four months just isn’t enough time to earn the money necessary for going back to school. Even if I were to save every penny (and who can ? ! ), I would still be short about half the necessary amount.

Anyone whose father is any- where near financially solvent, might as well forget about apply- ing for a student loan. The ques- tion is, did Daddy always earn that much money, how much does it cost him to maintain his position, and how many children has he already put through col- lege? Do these questions appear on the application for a student loan? Certainly not!

During two years, in which time we have enrolled more than What about the student whose

The “poor dear” still gets a stu- dent loan.

There is nothing wrong with the government forking over that “rich man’s” tax money to sup- port these “poor kids” while OSAP returns the wonderful rejection statement, “Parents in similar financial positions.. .etc. ” to his own child. Let’s hear it for socialism in which the “rich” are told to give because they have the money to give. Says who? In any case, how many years is a father supposed to give sonny Jim his life’s blood? Junior, if he has any conscience at all, begins to feel like an A-l leech.

Banks won’t lend money to those without collateral and there aren’t too many people, fresh out of high school who have any- thing more valuable than a dirty gym sock to put up.

This system of awards accord- ing to need demands revision. Add a few more paragraphs to the application and the awards officer’s eyes would be opened. The man with the money has face involved. He certainly would- n’t want his child saying his father isn’t handing him a cool $1000 free and clear.

A little more realism and a lot more investigation into the vera- city of a plea of “need” is neces- sary.

I’m sure there are many others who share my views or the Fede- ration of Students would not have sent out its survey on the finan- cial status of students. Maybe this group, with the aid of many, will be able to accomplish some- thing.

3y Jim Russel ;pecial to the Chevron

During your first weeks at university you will ear many theorists expounding the function of the lst,itution-why it exists. what it hopes to do, and lost important, what you should do here. These eople will try to give you the impression of a ighly idealistic structure dedicated to the service nd betterment of mankind. To do this, you the student must partake in the

ducational program that has been laid out for you. ‘hose of you with enquiring minds might ask lrrther questions about the existence of the uni- ersity, its structure. and further, where each tudent fits into this structure.

You will not get answers to these questions im- nediately. The few who continue to wonder and xamine will become alienated by the responses hey receive and the apathy on the part of their ellow students. For in taking an active interest n a spirit of open-minded questioning, you will ave committed an unforgiveable sin, for you will ,uickly learn that the rhetoric of the university is lot to be taken at face value.

By questioning the system you get your first nkling that one may indeed question, provided Ine questions within the established limits set but by the administration.

To paraphrase Thoreau: I should like to give JOU an impression of the music I hear. for I am istening to a different drummer.

In examining any institution, it is necessary ,o look at the structure before discussing the dealized aims of the system. One then may see

;hat the theory laid out by the administrators lees not concur with the realities of the situation.

“Tl7e university is com- posed of three distinct and almost independently oper- ating units. flr

The university is composed of three distinct and almost independently operating units-adminis- tration. faculty and students or, as they are known in Quebec. travailleurs intellectuels. The ranking above is not alphabetical as one might first sur- mise-it is by acknowledged importance. To see this. one must consider not only the internal struc- ture of the universitJ7 but also the relationship of the university to the total society.

Peter Drucker has said. 3ntil the twentieth century no society could afford more than a handful of educated people: for throughout the ages to be educated meant to be unproductive.”

Let US then return to the age of unproductive education for a short examination. keeping in mind the official rhetoric of today’s university.

“It (the college ) had begun as nothing lofty. It had begun. in lact. as _ a kind of boarding house. It was a boarding house such as grew up around all mediaeval universities: the universi- ties drew students to the town. and there. as

humble adjuncts. were houses f’or students

to lodge.. . The community was usually a very small one . . . The students liked their life but no one else did . . . .

“The scholars elected their own master . . who was the sole administrative olficial including the modern job of bursar . . . I had the luck to live inti- mately among half a dozen different vocations. Of all those I had a chance to see the college was the place where men lived “,hc least anxious, the most comforting. the freest lives” Thus said C.P. Snow in his book, “The Masters”.

These schools of original thought have perished because of the multiple and complex forces which we simply roll up into the catch-all phrases of “technological revolution” and “human pro- gress”.

‘Vt wo

remodel using as structures of fhe uniwersit y. rr

It would be useless to remodel the present sys- tem using as prototypes the past structures of the university. These have rightfully passed to their historical graveyard. It is our task to study and understand the present structure of the university and the larger society of which it is a part.

Throughout the ages to be educated meant to be unproductive. The complete reversal of the last fifty years has irrevocably changed attitudes to education and the university. Now to be produc- tive means to be educated. Society. because it is vitally concerned with production, is equally concerned with education. The power. influence and expansion of the corporazs society demands a type of education that will suit its needs tit cannot tolerate the independent centres of old 1.

Education becomes a part of the production process of modern society (and on the individual level a license for consumptic)n 1. In short, this means that the universit;h- i> II~ ir~rlger an independ- ent community of scholars. The university has become a status quo institution.

Those who set the guidelines oi university devel- opment see only the functional. therapeutic role. rejecting any challenge or conflict which independent investigation might prompt. Instead of postulating that conflicts of value and idealogy must be eiiminated. we should esamine how these conflicts arise from the new societv that is emerging and which is a response to the new pro- ductive forces launched by contemporal->- tech- nology.

The connections of the uni\-ersit>. with govern- ment and corporations provictos thy clearest in- dications of how the uni\lersit- is used and how it. in turn. fails the total societ)-. This is how the scholars of the universit:!- fulkil I\-hat C. \Yright !VIills called the role oi- .‘arl\,-iscr t:, the kin,g”.

Wright says. “The indivi(lua1 social scientist tends to become in\.olved in th~~sc many- trends of modern society that make thr indii.iclu;il a part 01 a functionall!- ration;il hure;luc~ra(*!-. 3iid to sink

into his specialized slot in such a way as not to be explicitly concerned with the structure of post- modern society.”

For example, two-thirds of the political science faculty at Carleton University has been commis- sioned to investigate various aspects of govern- ment. This is not uncommon for most faculties and most universities. The variable seems to be whether it is government or corporation that the university is serving.

These people become part-time professors who cannot and often dislike, devoting much of their time to their students. The university has often been for them a means of seeking government employ. The development of the university be- comes unimportant to them.

Further than this and more pertinent, are the questions raised about the type of institution used by scholars to further their own careers. With the evident disinterest of faculty, these people have clearly abdicated any responsibility to direct the growth and development of a university com- munity. Decision-making for the university has passed into other hands. This loss of power has not been contested. (Whether it was consented to originally is another question). To the contempor- ary academic, independence for the university has become an irrelevent issue.

“The caretakers of the un- iversit y are people who oc- cupy positions in the adminis- tra tion. *I

The caretakers of the university are the people who occupy positions in the administration. Students and faculty have no voice in the selection of these men. Co-option from government and private industry, elevation of name-establish- ment professors and appointment of elderly gen- erals. politicians and diplomats is the normal way of filling these posts.

They are not there to build an intellectual life, but to produce a trained product. They are not there to preside over an independent center of research for young and growing minds but to bring in names and money to build a structure which will better serve the corporate world. These people are status quo people, by their background and social orientation.

These attitudes are instituted partly through the course material offered :

(1) Engineering and science faculties are more heavily subsidized than are the liberal arts. Uni- versities are pressured into expanding these facili- ties even at the expense of other faculties.

i 2) Schools of public administration are de- signed specifically to serve government. One can question the existence of these along with schools of journalism. commerce faculties and teaching schools on the university campus. These all pro- vide a service in response to outside pressure of some sort. It is much easier to have the organiza- tion man trained by someone else.

(3) Selection of courses is limited. There is no

Latin American course at Carleton. Similar ex- amples can be found at other Canadian univecsi- ties. Canada has no special interests in Latin America. It matters little that this area has been a successful revolution and is one of the most explosive spots in the world.

(4) The siTe of first year courses often weeds out those students who are the most creative and least conforming members of the universitv community. It is good to retain the student who can sit through twenty hours of boredom each week because he is more likely to fill an unquest- ioning role in the corporate world.

HOW, then should the aspiring student approach the university ? For he is the raw material to be polished so three or four years hence he will be able to fill a functional, non-critical role in the world served by the university.

“The university is far too important an institution in our society to be abandoned”*.

What do we conclude? That one should leave the university because it is failing to ask the rele- vent questions about our society? Even if this were feasible, the university is far too important an institution in the potential development of our society to be abandoned.

Should we, as the majority do. conform and allow ourselves to be placed in the little boxes waiting at the end of the graduation ceremony? This can result from despair at seeing a behemoth tnn monstrous to alter. But WP will not know if

-we can change it until the attempt, with all our available resources is made.

What then drJ WE! want from the university? We know v;T;hat to expect. We must use the univer- sity z?;ld in using it attempt to change it. It must be in conflict with society, questioning its basic premises. No one will make these changes for us. The structure predetermines its function.

The connections linking the university to the governmental and corporate world are intricate. profound and impossible to change because of any internal dynamics they may have. But it will respond to challenge-the challenge of an organ- ized student population that knows what it wants.

This challenge can only be effectively building a student movement to study describe and analyze the university. Then through its knowledge it must make demands for its change. Wherever possible. we must institute our own programs which will indicate what we want to see in the university. These projects must be a com- bination of research and action.

It is not enough to offer piece-meal suggestions each time an issue arises. The student movement must be multi-issue. Our analysis must demand basic structural change. It must redirect the development of the university. It must force the university to deal with the questions that need to be asked about our society.

Since the university is a product of the society in which it exists (the religious interest in educa- tion of earlier years being now overshadowed by the productive interest 1, we can not hope to alter the university without corresponding changes in the total society. The free university is not possible in an unfree society.

And these changes are coming. The society of affluence which we often find replusive in comparison with the Third World also makes possible a freer. more enlightened society. But this does not just happen. It must be made to happen. And so our research-action projects must be directed towards an analysis of the total’ society and how change is brought about in that society.

The university must be made into a critical, controversial institution. The free society. be definition. has built-in dynamics for change. The university must be involved in bringing this about.

E’articu!arlv relevant to our generation is the th;sis adva&ed by Marce! Rioux : “Can we compare the revolt of youth. which is taking place during the third phase of the industrial

revolution in which we are now living, to the other upheavals which man has known?... In other words we ask the same question which Marx himself asked. more than a century ago.

“If we examine our societies in 1966 and ask what group will be the agent of social change. in the same way that the city dwellers were during the urban revolution-about 6000 years ago-and the working class was during the last hundred years. which group will our answer point to? Will we continue to think that it will be the proletariat. as AMarx had done?

11/n the coming decades the for social change

“When Marx wondered what group would effect the transformation from the capitalist to the socialist society. he favored the working class.. Can it be said that industrial societies today have radically changed and that we can fore- see that another historical agent will assume the role played the working class in the last decades?”

Professor Rioux goes on to suggest that in the Corning decades the main agent of social change will be youth and that our society will be char- acterized by intergenerational conflict.

Students have rejected many of the old standards. Their hopes for a better world cannot be fulfilled in a status quo institution. The univer- sity must be changed to meet the needs of the new, emerging society or abandoned.

(CUS) president Warrian is the victim of one of the most outra- geous fictions ever perpetrated by the so-called professional news media.

Almost without exception the informers 0 f the public quoted Warrian at the recent CUS con- gress as having advocated “sock- ing it to the administration” and “blowing up their buildings”.

That wasn’t what his speech was about.

But it makes good copy. And

the establishment editors love any chance, real or fictional, to bring down the public wrath upon the heads of those trying to im- prove our world.

What Warrian really called for was a year of study, a year of ed- ucating’ the many to the pressing need for drastic reform in our societv.

But Peter used big words-he’s a sociology graduate-and in- volved concepts. If you had seen who the Canadian Press, Toronto Star or London Free Press had as- signed to report the meeting, you would know why they didn’t under- stand what he said.

Welcome to the academy, greatest show. on earth. Well, nearly the greatest-right after political conventions in embattled cities, popular up- isings against law-and-ord,er tanks, and civil wars that add to white men’s lurdens but victimize black men more. Though it may currently be over- hadowed by such extraneous events, you will soon find academia claiming <our total loyalty. i .

of like a civilian you have heretofore read books, chatted with friends, ind taken walks at times of your own choosing, better bid all that good- Iye for the duration. After a ceremonious induction you will without ‘urther ado find your places in six rings of a vast segmentalized circus. As soon as possible one must acquire those bodily and mental stances tha$ ,he management regards and sanctions -as correct. To fit in properly, )ne must conscientiously rush from ring to ring, spending in each a fixed jeriod, no-more no less. If during the apprenticeship one were by chance ;o become intrigued with some particular act and seek to study it ‘in depth 2t the expense of other acts, take note that to delay in one particular ring will almost certainly bring penalties in the other five.

To survive in such a show one must then practice with detached deter- nination whatever each act calls for. Since every act is headed by a- rainer who typically determines how the performer is evaluated, sur- Jival in the show demands a modicum of concern with pleasing the in- structor. And since instructors are inclined to value hard work almost as much as final results, at least a good facsimile of hard work may help 3ne. to survive. But since there ‘are other performers in the ring with vou, you will be tempted to join them in the time-honoured practice of setting and maintaining performance standards below your actual capa- city. This too in the belief that it will enhance survival. All these-actions in the face of the frequently espoused values of academia which bid stu- dents to participate in a selfless quest for truth,and know1

You will soon enough recognize that, these observations are in the main’ correct, if a little heavily shaded for emphasis. You may therefore be inclined to regard the ideals of the academy as mere propaganda. But a closer look at matters academic may tell you oth.erwise.

Every community and every human organization sustains itself with beliefs and convictions about its purposes. When businessmen declare the purpose of their activities to be “service” it is as much a way of shoring up self-respect in a self-seeking market system as it is a way of influencing potential customers. When academic men and women declare that they are motivated by a selfless pursuit of truth and knowledge they too are shoring up self-respect. Like the businessman who seeks to provide an honest product or service the academic man is part of an impersonal market that induces him to cut corners in order to survive. To stay in the academic market he may be induced to put his own in- terests above that of his students, or above the pursuit of truth and knowledge.

Ironically, the trainers are also caught up in the circus rat-race. In their case it is called “career.” If they are young and are still moving upward on the ladder they will be impelled to publish papers and books at least as much for reasons of advancing their positions as for reasons of sharing their discoveries with others. .One by-product of this publish-or- perish game is a vast morass of scholarly and scientific literature through which only an intrepid and persistent scout will wade in search of solid foothoids.

The academic community has, still another sector that influences stu- dent lives. In North America universities and colleges tend to be heavily populated by homo administrans headed by deans and presidents. Under- standably enough such officers seek to minimize conflict within their organizations, and to maximize consensus. Also they strive to aggrandize the image and power of the organization relative to other similar organi- zabions. But c,onsensus, image, and power are not necessarily harmonious with truth, learning, and wisdom; whence it appears that -faculty and student goals must at times sharply differ from those of the adminis- tration.

‘Such are some of the less readily advertised characteristics of the , academic community which you have now entered as a novice. The fewer ‘your illusions about it, the less likely that you ‘will become dis- illusioned with it. The more realistic your expectations, the more appro- priate will #be what you do here, and the more likely your eventual success.

Welcome therefore not only to the academy but to this occasional mirror of it and of the world beyond it. If that mirror informs with distortion, if it provides biased perspectives, ,if it spices critique with satire, it merely does overtly what is only too often done covertly under the guise of neutral scholarship. But the distortions are as, inevitable as they are unwanted, and the- satire is as harmless, as it is necessary as a mnemonic device. For, be it admitted, this column is one academic ‘man’s peculiar response to the student revolution which principally seems to call for integrity, mutuality, and genuine communication. Though little more than a tentacle reaching out from the confines of the lecture hall, it is also little less than an invitation to a dialogue ‘within the entire aca- demic community. . 1 164 THE CHEVRON
