Spiders the world over were outraged to learn this week that Arabella, the second cosmic spider, had died of hunger. The an- nouncement was made, by officials- at the Marshall Space Flight Centre last Saturday.

Arabella was discovered dead when the vial in which she made her journey into space, returned to the centre. Her” friend and companion in flight, Anita, died while still in outer space. She died

’ from the same reasons as Arabella-hunger. Arabella had been encased in the vial for 32 days whereshe had

managed to spin herweb in the weightlessness of space. Scientists had wanted to use her in further experiments to see whether or not she would be able to function properly now that she had returned to earths atmosphere. -

LASA lives - LASA, the Latin American Students ‘Association is the natural

consequence of a series of informal meetings among Latin American: students. Last winter, they realized- that there was a substantial n-umber of Latin American students on campus, most of them anxious to share their problems and experiences and anxious to reidentify themselves within the context of the north american society.-They-were also wanting to show to others the real face of La tin America. - z

Therefore, they started holding not so regular meetings, each. person presenting something about his country. They started to exchange newspapers and magazines. There was very successful

participation \ ! with films and panel-discussions) during Third World week, held in-March, on campus. No doubt, LASA was a necessity within the university community.

So, here is LASA. Formally, constituted, registered with the International Students Association, and having gone through all the necessary bureaucracy of official recognition. The main purposes of LASA are toserve as a bond of fellowship among the members of the Latin American community of UW and to promote discussion and better understanding of Latin American problems. They will try to acheive these goals by all possible (feasible) means, such as films,-panel-discussions, guest-speakers, social parties, and with your help. I

Their first years activities begin Oct. iith when anyone in- terested in the land “below R-io Grande” can at&d the ‘first meeting.

If you thought that slavery had gone out with the’civil war then you have another in the never ending deries of surprises coming to YOU. Joe Brown of Dade county in Florida was convicted last week with two counts of peonage and involuntary servitude.

Apparently, many of the 27 people working for’Brown were held there by him because he said, that they owed him’money. Brown contracted these people out.@ other farmers-in the area:

The workers said that they were paid only a few dollars a week and they were beaten if they made any attempt’tb escape.

For his venture outside the’law, Brown faces a possible five-year jail sentence and a $5,000 fine for each count. t L I- -7 , <

nice. . ab.out it c The university newspaper the Gazette has never been a centre of critical attention. The- opinion of the’ majority of people on campus seems to be that the Gazette is good as an information sheet but little more. It is where students

- and faculty as well as staff . members look for the facts-they

never expect anything beyond that and not surprisingly they never get any more than that. ,

Therefore it was with some surprise that the Chevron learned on Tuesday that indeed the Gazette was not as harmless as it always appears. _J

The Gazette. has very few paid staff and relies heavily on com- missioned freelance writers for its material. Monica Lentin was one such writer ’ employed by th,e Gazette for the last three years.

On March 21, 1973 the Gazette published an ’ article written by Lentin concerning an - interview with Dr. .Mundel and economics. The -article appeared under Lentins pen name of Ruth Laser. On the very same day the Kit- chener-Waterloo Record published the article, with some minor editing, under the name of their business editor-Henry Kochs. ’

Lentin noticed this strange occurrance and called the record to inquire as‘ to why her artiele had appeared under someone else’s

courts and that it would cost herat least $1000. So she has decided to forget that part of it and try to do what she can on her own. -,

Lentin did speak with Burt Matthews last spring when this matter first came to the fore. He assurred her that if she let it rest

‘over the summer it would all be straightened out by the fall term. Of course nothing,has been settled and if the university has its way this matter will join the many others that are swept ‘under the carpet. ,

--Just why the record and the Gazette are. so touchy on the subject is not really clear at all. The Record’s only excuse is that it would be much too embarassing for them to print a correction even though they have made a mistake. They would rather leave mistakes just as they are.

The Gazette’s position is even stranger. It would be normal for them to back their writer and ask the Record to print the erratum. Earlier in her term with the Gazette, Lentin had been offered the assistant editorship. Her position with the paper now is much less than happy.

Officially she is still being commissioned1 by them to write although they have admitted there is no money for her and they have not given her any assignments. While Lentin was away for her’ summer vacation another position was created on the Gazette-that of staff reporter. Lentin was not informed until her return that the position existed and because of this new development there is no more money for commissions. This little bit of technical trickery has kept the Gazette from having to inform Lentin in writing that her em- ployment has been terminated.

There, must be more to this than is being admitted by either the Gazette or the-- Record. Adams would make no comment at all when asked-to clarify some points of the issue. Reading the Gazette this week one can find in their . masthead, “Editorial material ma‘y be freely reprinted if credit is -tee-- ,,

TORONTO (CUP)-The Eaton family has a wrinkle in their plans to turn downtown Toronto into Eatonland, and the University of Toronto is doing its best to smooth it out. The problem can be traced to a lady named Naomi Bilton, who carried a grudge against the Eatons to her deathbed, when she willed a very important property at 188 Younge Street to’ the University of Toronto back in 1922.

The university has little or no need for this small property far from university territory, and the Eatons are chomping at the bit to grab the lonely Reitman’s store that stands there. It would be all part of Phase 2 of the mammoth

-Eaton Centre. The catch is con- tained in the wording of the Bilton will.

The University received the land under the stipulation “that the same-never be sold or leased to John C. Eaton or the T. Eaton Company orany person or firm in any person or corporation carrying on the. business of a departmental store surrounding the property.”

The clause .was aimed at the company that during the twenties was swallowing up many small businesses in the area. and which now controls all of the property in - the immediate area. This little problem has had lawyers‘ from both the U of T and Fairview Corporation (the firm looking after the development of the Eaton, Centre) working for the past couple of years looking for a loophole.

The university went to the On- tario Supreme Court ,about two years ago to contest the wording .of

CUPE- \ bo’ntract 1

: \

Executive Assistant to Business Affairs Vice President, Alex Rankin, Fairview is revising an offer for the property to be presented to-: the Board of Governors, October 12. Even’after the refusal by the Supreme Court to change the will, university of-1 ficials have been informed by their solicitors, C&sells Brock that the sale is legal,- and it appears that the university will’accept the offer,

Members of the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE ) local 793-custodians, groundsmen, tradesmen and engineers on UW staff-finally ratified a -contract agreement with the universitiy Monday, after working without ,a contract since July 1.

The members approved of the two-year agreement by nearly a three-fourths majority. For the. first time the\ contract includes a cost-of-living clause. The union had already rejected an August 9 pro>posed contract by a 78 percent negative vote.

The contract was ratified Tuesday by the Board of Gover-

. nors. Hourly wage increases ranging

from 7 to 12.1 percent along the various classifications, will be- retroactive to July 1, with the contract agreement ending July 1, 1975. I r

In addition, each union member

As to how this is possible, Business Affairs refuses to tip. their hand. -Brook declined to give the VarsitY, the university student newspaper, a copy of the letter containing the legal opinion of the 16~ firm nor would he disclose the price Fairview was offering. Keeping inmind that firms such as Cassells Brock don’t get where they are by offering rash advice, it must be assumed that the sale does not break the wording of the will.

Fairview, as a development company building for the Eaton Centre, does not necessarily have to represent the Eaton family or

‘department store. The land collected and developed ’ will belong to Fairview, not to the Eatons. Fairview is an in- dep<endent company with no Eatons on the board of-directors._ Their money and influence comes- from the Bronfman family of Distillers Corp., Seagrams and Kemp Investments Ltd. which has been involved- in the same sort of downtown-eating in Vancouver.

’ This, of course, does not mean, that the Bronfmans and Eatons aren’t behind the conference table t working our the deal..

Gus Abols, vice-chairman of the Executive Committee of the Governing Council theorized that it is possible for Fairview to buy the land without breaking the word of !he will provided they don’t ac- tualiy build any part of a depart- ment store on the property. This means they might build a parkette

,to lure shoppers in from the street or a parking lot to accomodate shoppers driving from the suburbs without contravening the stipulations of the will.

The sale to Fairview * of the former Bilton property does away with the last holdout in the area

will receive a $100 “signing bonus” immediately, which will amount to a $20,006 payout’ from the university.

During the first year of the pact, workers in the custodian II category, who are the lowest paid, will get the larges raise, from $2.39 to $2.68 per hour. A 2nd class stationary engineer will jump

- ,from $4.65 per hour to $4.98, the smallest- raise.- There are seven categories in between, which received .raises in descending proportion.

Under the cost-of-living clause, _ there will be a minimum six percent increase during the second year, depending on the govern- ment’s Consumer Price Index (CPI) readings. If the CPI is above the minimum, increases will be in proportion.

Both sides seemed pleased with the outcome of ‘the months-long negotiations. / .

Vice-president Bruce Gellatly told the Board of Governors that he is ‘ ‘satisfied that these salaries match the, market”. CUPE. local president Larry McGlone said he was satisfied with the increases, especially the cost-of-living clause,

The’ ,CPI clause is something other members of the university community, especially the staff association, have long been. fighting for.

According to Gellatly, the fringe benefits “remain the same as the rest of the university staff, with the

’ exception of sabbatical leave”, -,which he termed “a difference in working conditions” rather than a “fringe benefit”. He did not fur- ther explain the distinction.

Under. other provisions -of the contract:

, 0 In the future, five rather than four union members will be on the negotiating committee;

l The probationary period was increased from 12 full calendar weeks to 75 working days, or about 1~ weeks.

0 The number of union stewards will be increased from 7 to 8.

l Unpaid “leave of absence” for training, conference, etc., allowed union members, is increased from 30 lo 50 days per year.

0 Seasonal (summer ) fulltime g1vw.

Nobody

While a student and a professor talked about the challenges and politics of student life, the few students who happened to be in the

_ campus centre‘ great hall last Friday talked loudly, played cards or chess, queued up to buy ice

cream, pop or cigarettes and just walked through the! building disinterestedly.

History professor Leo Johnson and Shane Roberts, head of the board of external relations for the federation, spoke mostly to themselves for an hour and a half during a poorly-publicized and even more poorly-attended “discussion”., which was sup- posedly *part of the Wobbly Weekend; The connection with the International Workers of the -World (IWW-Wobbly) was tenuous at best.

’ Johnson, a former labour organizer among other _ things, outlined what he described as the “shaping” of the modern Ontario

university system by society and business to fit the “five visions”-.oE what a useful university should be : _

(1) A training ground for the ruling elite. The older universities, such as Toronto, he said, were “consciously designed”’ for this

. . purpose. ,

He concluded by suggesting that the movement got only as far as it could within itself before con- fronting the university ad- ministration; that the com- munication breakdown between students and faculty ,frustrated and aliented the students into submission.

One might ‘best summarize this by stating that the student body, finding it hard to digest the ad- ministrative edicts, became politically constipated. -

Johnson added a few dishear- tening notes which helped explain the student’s return to trivialities. Among them was a local example of the unwillingness of faculty members even to bother with students’ opinions : for several years, while any number of students could attend an Arts Faculty meeting, only -three, he said, could speak.

The purpose of all this was ap- parently to mobilize the students of this campus into participation in various organizations which might serve as instruments for students activism. L

However, it was not made at all clear which organizations these are. At any rate, the students showed no sign of stirring from political slumber: only two members of the “audience” ventured to ask questions /of the speakers, and one of them hardly seemed in earnest about vocalizing his feelings, since he didn’t even bother to use the mike.

_ +uise bla kely.

( 2 1 An educational negessity for .world domination. This vision, he said, was a product in North America of the cold war com- petition, with the Communist world, with an emphasis on the sciences’ like physics, math and computer science. ’

B n I I k’

(3) The utility of an educated populace as a work for.ce. This vision, he said, has not proven to be a benefit to business, since

, _ better-educated people want higher pay and the “arts education” has become a “pure consumption item” with no visible return to commerce.

: s.hindig Lraided

(4) The idea that education will allow middle-class children to rise in society. He cited the enormous pressure from middle-class parents on their children to “get an, education and have a better job than their parents.” /

(5) The *‘ideology of the professoriate”. This vision originates from the people who have a vested interest in the universities, and who maintain that the “quest of truth itself is onea of the highest moral goods.”

-The fifth reason is often used to protect and justify the privileged

’ position-of the academics, even though the “quest for truth” itself is too often only a rationale.

In one of the more interesting meetings of the campus centre board held on Tuesday, October 2 one might say that the shit really hit the fan. The action stemmed from an incident on Sunday night in the pub area of the campus centre.

A party was planned by the turnkeys to celebrate the occasion of the new shift of turnkeys beginning the next day. Some beer was brought in to the pub area and, since these turnkey bashes have been held regularly for some time, no liquor licence was obtained for the event.

“As we know very bitterly,” he said, “tenure does not protect the radical, but it does q protect”’ the standing of the inept, the mediocre and those who do not- ma’ke waves. ”

In the middle of all this a group of musicians were practicing in the area and providing some un- __ planned entertainment. The party ran quite smoothly with the two groups involved.

Roberts tried to represent the student’s development during this ideological shuffle by giving a rough chronology of campus events during the sixties. But he got bogged down in a slightly rhetorical description of the movements which he loosely referred to as “liberal”, i.e. “Ban the Bomb, ‘.’ civil rights, etc.

While asserting that the student was regarded as- a: partial-status

Now the plot begins to thicken. With this going on, a security guard and the parents of a runaway child entered the centre. After checking with the turnkey on duty, they decided to go through the building to assure the parents that their child was not there.

You can probably figure out what happened then. At one point five security personnel were- seen

“in the pub area helping with the’ ‘cleanup’> The liquor was- con- fiscated and all the people in the immediate area had their names taken. Of those’ people, none could

supervisor on duty that night, asked the group, “Who owns this ’

The first thing to note is that the whole affair was just a coin- cidence. Perkins admitted, that this sort of thing goes on all the time on campus. He said that if they chose’ to go out looking for illegal-activities, they would soon be swamped with work. In his words, “We, don’t go looking for this sort of thing but if we come across’ it, we are obliged to act. Even the president’s office could be prosecuted for this sort of in- fraction.” --

Another aspect of the event pointed out by Activities Co- ordinator Susan Phillips was that the people present when security

heard to say, “I’m supposed to pay for something that’s already been paid for!” . .

During the summer, Gay Lib w-as one of the ‘few functioning groups’ on campus and they held regular pubs without incident.

In other matters of importance,

The possibility of the turnkeys accepting their moral respon- sibility and paying the fines in-- volved,was not mentioned at the meeting.

a few questions were raised regarding, the Board of En; tertainment’s arrangements for Oktoberfest beginning this weekend. The main bone.,of con- tention was the matter of cleanup.&

’ When the Oktoberfest ar- rangements were first passed by CCB in June, the BOE agreed to

. take responsibility for all damages, and extra janitorial staff required. The point was not clear to some members of the board and they felt that the-federation should pay for all cleaning of the building during Oktoberfest. It was pointed out by Ed Knorr of the Physical Resources Group that payment of . .

active groups or - organizations back for the year, things could get tough if they all began holding regular pubs. Ram said that since Gay Lib represents -few students on this campus, they should not be allowed use of the campus facilities for their events. The’time and space could apparently be put to better use by other more representative groups.

When the discriminatory nature of thispolicy was mentioned, Ram replied, ‘.‘Not at all, they could still

member of the CCB suggested that the board help ‘Gay* Lib out by holding their licence, Art retaliated by offering to send the other thirty-seven organizations on to the CCB for thesame thing. He further threatened that without his guiding hand, things would probably revert to the chaotic state of two years ago, and “Nobody would know nothing.”

The lengthy discussion on this matter was ended by chairman Fred Bunting ruling it all out of order. I .

Junta L kills MONTREAL (CUP )---There have been between 20,000 and. 25,000 deaths in Chile since the bloody coup d’etat of September 11, 1973.

This is the testimony of the first three Quebecois to return from Chile since the military regime took power. The three are Catholic priests, Father Maurice Herbert and Patrick Donavan of the - Society of Foreign Missions, and Father Jean Latulippe, an oblat of Marie Immaculate. The first two were .working in the working-class section of Temuco, a town in the - south of Chile while Latulippe was teaching mass education in the working class section of Chile.

They said that it’s hard to imagine the repression that exists in Chile. The three returned to Montreal on Thursday, September 27 and told reporters th,at ’ the military junta is sytematically assassinating ,the leaders of the labour movements and the - peoples’ movements ( organization populaire) . The army is eliminating .a11 resistance against the new regime. A “death squad” is at work just as in Brazil and other ‘La tin American countries.

(Death squads are small groups of policemen whose sole purpose is to torture and kill those “criminals’‘-usually political opponents of - the reigning fascist regime in, Brazil and other South ’ American countries-whom they consider to have been treated too . leniently by thelaw. Although they act in secret from the ‘populace and totally outside the law, most squads have the tacit approval of the heads of the police and of the government in those countries. )

The story told by- the three Quebecois agrees with reports that have been surfacing in Europe and the United States. For the last two’ weeks Chile has been virtually cut off from the rest of the world. All communications must pass what one journalist called the most “extreme and .brutal censure imaginable.”

One Mexican journalist who managed to get to Argentina reported to have seen a stadium in Chile full of prisoners who were waiting to be deported to the deserted Magellan islands. Con- centration camps are being built on these islands. -

The airforce has been ‘bombing factories where -workers have locked ihemselves in. One factory alone reported five hundred dead. Soldiers have been ordered to sack libraries to burn all. suspect literature to rid Chile of Marxist thought.

As well, prices have been put on the heads of the leaders of leftist

parties and of Allende’s- govern- ment. All top administrators and policy makers of the- university will be fired and replaced with people sympathetic to the junta.

There is a witch hunt of strangers to rid Chile of ideologies that are contrary to’ the political beliefs of the junta. ’ ,p

By far the topic to receive the most attention during the c’on- fere_nce was the exchange, program arranged through’ the, German department with the univer/sity in Mannheim, West Germany. Last year eleven students from Ontario partiqipated in the exchange and studied, in G;erman with students in Man- nheim. The students.. ten of whom

register&d as students in .Ontario, taking coukses iri, Germany -that wobld contribute to the degree they were .wqrking toward at theik home institution.

This year there are two un- dergraduate and ttio graduate students from Mannheih sttidying at Waterloo, with an additional fourteen ’ Canadian students working is Germany. The dif- ference in the financial arrangements involved in Canadian post-secondary education and those in Germany prdved interesting. Wheras the students from Waterloo had to provide- the bulk qf ‘the money necessary for their studies abroad, in essence all expen$es above the $250 per student subsidy rounded up by the German department, the majority of students in\ Germany are fully financed by the govern- ment, with tuition paid and a living allowance paid ontie a month.

The meth’od of study was also interesting to coypap. Here the student must fulfil1 certdin course requirements; write exams at certaiq times, and- sub&t papers

s within a specific time period. The German student attends classes which for the most part should be classed as seminars rather than strict lectures, and when_ he ‘feel ready for an evaluation, will go to the professor and arrange for a mutually ‘satisfactory means of doing so. Thus the&are no mass examinaitions-Iike those held in the physical activities building-or frantic rushes to meet deadlines.

However, the students par- tic$ating in - the exchange could not experience this mode of study, and had to follow certain

#guidelines an@ earn the necessary credits. In addition the Canadians were studying tinder a , heaviqr course’ load than their fellow students; the average German student takes two seminar courses a term, while the Canadians were carrying the same as they would have carried at‘home-five or six courses.

On September 24, 1973, a com- mittpe for the defense of Dr. Henry Morgentaler was formed in the Kitchener-Waterloo area. The initial organizing meeting was held at the University of Waterloo and -was attended by piofessors, students and other community members. Morgentaler, a Mon- treal physjcian and- prominent advocate of women’s rights, has been charged <with thirteen counts

’ of performing illegal abortions. He was under se?ere restrictions pending his trial. which started

-September 24. He has performed 5,000 abortioiis in his I Montreal clinic tiith no degrading red tape or dangerous waiting periods and has never turned any woman away for lack of money.

: This is 1 one> of a number of com’mittees being formed- and co- ordinated alcross the country with thP single demand of . ‘drop the char-ges’. The committee for the, defense of Morgentalq is a broad independent non-exclusionary group. Some of the . national sponsors intlude Grabe McKinnis NDP MP, Vancouver Kingway, Michel Chartrand Quebec labour leader, Doris Anderson, editor of Chatelaine, Laura’ Sabia, Chair- woman of the National Actiori

Committee on the Status of Wom’en, June Callwood,-free lance journalist, broadcaster, and civil libertarian, Irving Layton well . known Canadian poet and the Humanist Association of Canada.

It appears that <the ,program is some’what of a success, and for the stugent w*ishing to master the German Language, regardless of academic discipline’< most of last ye’ar’s students were not from the arm&n department ), this op-

_ portunity should ,be seriously considered.

The aim of the I(itchener- Waterloo committee is to educate the’ community as to the im- plications of this ,-attack on

-Morgentaler and to gain as much support as pdssible for his defense. We are currently seeking local endorsement for Morgentaler’s def&ce as well as financial sup- port.

Opening the new

year Last weekend, the Humanities Theatre

was the scene of the Kitchener-Waterloo Symphony’s opening concert, with works by Weber, Brahms, and Dvorak conducted by Raffi Armenian. Improvement in our community orchestra has been in evidence since Mr. Armenian took over, and it is pleasant to be able to report that it is still continuing. Some new faces appeared, some old ones were missing, and the effects of a solid week of rehearsal for this opening concert, added to the contributions of the newcomers, made for the best orchestral sound yet from this group. And Armen ian again demonstrated

_ his interpretative talents, so that the occassion bodes well for the coming season.

Three works from the l%h-century literature occupied this program. Carl Maria von Weber’s Overture to his opera, Der Freischutz, was the opener. This piece has some noble writing for horn quartet (the fourth member was not identified in the program), and the opening bars oc- casioned some difficulties for the K-W’s men, who nevertheless managed to sound rather well when they got organized. On the other hand, the first clarinet, Harry Swaneveld, distinguished himself im- mediately, as he was to do throughout the evening. The performance was well-paced and solid; I’d forgotten what a lovely piece it is, and it made one think how nice it would be to see it some day on the Canadian Opera’s agenda.

The Weber and Brahms’ Variations on a Theme of Haydn were substituted, without explanation, for the Brahms Double Concerto which we’d been promised. Although that concerto is a fascinating work, it must be admitted that these noble Variations constitute an intrinsically superior work-with little doubt the greatest of all orchestral variations. They are also something of a challenge to the semi-professional orchestra. The wind- band, on the whole, met this best, with some very nice sounds emanating from the clarinets and oboes in particular, and the

‘horn quartet in the sixth variation with its hunting-hornlike motif coming on well. We are, of course, many tens of thousands of dollars away from first-class string sound, and some rather timid and tenuous violin playing was noticeable in, for in- stance, the third variation. On the other hand, they too achieved some quite solid sound in tutti passages. Again, Armenian’s conducting was simply admirable,

- cohesive and well-thought-out, and leading up to a fine climax in the ostinato finale. This finale is a sort of compact extra set of short variations tacked on to the eight full-length treatments in the main body-of the piece. Set over the five- measure repeating bass figure, they recapitulate in condensed form the various techniques previously employed, but with a cumulative force that can be quite hair-raising. (Listeners fascinated by

this finale should compare it with the great Chaconne which is the last movement of l3rahms’ Fourth Symphony.]

The second haif of the program was given over to the Symphony No. 8 of Dvorak (formerly number 4, that being the order of publication). This is another wonderful piece, combining as perhaps no other (well, except the Beethoven Pastorale, of course) a thoroughly sunny and happy outlook with mastery of form and subtlety, even profundity of ex- pression. The many glorious melodies were sustained pretty well by our forces, with particular kudos for the brass-hats off to the two trumpets who so forthrightly announced the opening of the fourth movement, for instance. Also I was pleased to find some genuine pianissimo string playing; to do this and remain listenable is a challenge which had not, to my recollection, been taken up last year, let alone met. (As the orchestra improves in this respect, one of my ancient bugbears will rear its ugly head: pianissimo strings get competition from the air-moving equipment in the theatre, improvement though it be by comparison with its beastly counterpart over there in the Arts theatre.)

In sum; a concert to whet our appetites for more; and, by the way, to loosen, perhaps, the purse-strings of the well- heeled among us. The Orchestra is thir- sting now for better things-one such

thing being, incidentally, the retention of our fine conductor I am sure; and better things cost money. (Surely it is time to begin thinking vaguely of acquiring a good resident string quartet to help matters out in the string department, for instance? The Hamilton Symphony attests to the im- provement such measures can effect. e.g.)

In a month, we will have the National Arts Centre Orchestra on the series to show us what a smallish orchestra can really do-my mouth waters, for example, at the prospect of hearing the Bartok Divertimento for String Orchestra, which they promise. Meanwhile, the K-W is decorating Oktoberfest with various tidbits by J. Strauss, von Suppe, Dvorak again, and others over at WLU on the %h, . 10th, and 12th. And they’ll be back in another regular concert on December 8 and 9 with some music from Swan lake and-wow! - Britten’s Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra. There’s a wee bit of space available, but mighty, little; you won’t regret queing up for it

Short symphonic

notes Preamble, Symphonic Ode, Orchestral Variations, Aaron Copland, composer and conductor, London Symphony Orchestra. Columbia M31714 -a real ho-hummer. Although these works belong to the more severe end of Copland’s creative range, they avoid the common use of dissonance and for- mlessness which are so destructive to a works appreciability, so the first im- pression here is not a bad one.

The trouble is that no further impression is made. There are no real melodies -‘or really anthing to arouse interest. These pieces simply begin, continue and end and nothing happens. This doesn’t make them bad efforts necessarily though it certainly doesn’t make them good. What it does is make them very boring.

Delius; .Paris, Song of a Great City; Eventyr; Dance Rhapsody No. 1; Charles Groves conductor The Royal Liverpool Philharmonic -containing a wide spectrum of Delius’ style, this new release ranges from the wilds of darkest impressionism in ‘Paris’ to Brahmsian lushness of melody in the Rhapsody.

This particular orchestra is not too common to records and comes across here as too straight-forward. I felt the overall performance lacked that bit of dramatic flair which could have added beneficial punch and depth to the music. As well Angel’s recording and pressing leave something to be desired. Bass is clouded by rumble. Surface noise is very evident, Nonetheless, for those, interested in the music itself, which is bery entertaining, there is no choice since no alternate performance is available.

J.G. Walther, Six Concertos for Organ, Columbia M31205 E. Power Biggs, Organist. -far from all music composed for this powerful instrument was inspired to use as much strength as is found in the massive preludes & fugues among others, by Bach for instance. Here is music in a much lighter vein. The concerto form is con-

ventionally 3 movements of alternating tempo. The trick here is to use the many voices of which the organ is capable in order to replace the variety of ordinary instruments for which these pieces were . , originally written before adaption to this use. Because of this and the energetic performance, even the more casual fans of the organ may find these pieces worth a listen.

Recording is not by Columbia itself, but by a German concern and increased quality is evident in rich bass and clean reverberance. -pete smith

Plastic cowboy

As in his album which immediately preceeded The last of the Brooklyn Cowboys, Ado Cuthrie wisely included music written by original western balladeers. Their songs provide a relief from Cuthrie’s own work which too often tends to be cute and trite.

Side one of Brooklyn Cowboys (Warner Brothe,rs MS2142) with the exception of

two cuts written by Arlo includes such western classics as “Miss the Mississippi and You,” “Lovesick Blues,” and “This Troubled Mind of Mine.” The latter cut as done by Cuthrie and his group is strongly reminiscent of the Grand Ole Opry sound and performers like Ernest Tubb and Roy Acuff.

I must admit a prejudice for “Miss the Mississippi and You” which was written in 1932 by Bill Halley but made famous by the singing breakman of. the depression, Jimmie Rogers. Cuthrie’s version is done well’ fai thful to the original and adds some fine clarinet work and excellent bottleneck guitar by Ry Coo&r.

The aIblum includes two cuts attributed to Woody Cuthrie, “Ramblin Round” which was a tune so reminescent of a dozen other folk songs including “Goodnight Irene”. t3ut it was this quality in Woody Cuthrie’s music that made it so playable, singable and adaptable. The second cut by Woody “Gypsy Davy” is also derivative having an amazing resemblance to the traditional folksong “Minstral Davy .”

To wrap up the western swing side of Brooklyn Cowboys Cuthrie includes his own composition “Uncle Jeff” in which he sounds like John Hartford. Uut with the fine banjo work done by Doug Dill& the cut is not a complete loss.

The second side is not less satisfying. It begins with a boring version of Dylan’s “Gates of Eden” and includes three ballads written by Cuthrie which are competently performed but largely unimaginative. “Last Train” takes the theme of many old spirituals of being on the train bound for glory. “Cowboy Song” provides the concrete expression Cuthrie’s state of mind: ’

This here is the only thing I know It ain’tright and it ain’t wrong To hear a cowboy sing an old time song. Most of the alblum is presented in a low

key style that is easy to take. The cuteness of the “Pickle Song” all early Cuthrie is fortunately gone. There is one bad lapse in At-lo’s “Cooper’s Lament” which is Arlo’s getting all the people in the world together again s’ong. The triteness of the lyrics and the over instrumentalization make it easy to ignore.

Cuthrie has shown himself to have a feeling and appreciation for old music on this and other albums. Whether he can - draw this into his own music remains to be seen.

The Progressives ( Columbia KG 31574) presents -14 groups whq pretty well cover the spectrum from artists fully approved of by jazz purists to groups who have been heavily influenced by rock and other forms; and have gained a following outside-the rather closed fraternity of jazz

-< fans. Obviously meant,by Columbia to be a

“taster” for non-jazz fans, it serves ttiat purpose passably well. The variety-from Ornette Coleman’s discordantly quiet “The Men Who Live in the White House/Love Life” through the frenetic “Compost Festival” by Compost to the moody “You Know You Know” by John McLaughlin and the Mahavishnu Orchestra-gives any rock fan who is thinking of venturing over the ever-thinner line bet/ween rock and jazz a good sampling of what’s going on qn tthe other side. l The album’s musicians carry good ct+dentials, and form an impressive family tree from aU the intertwining backgrounds-- bf the performers. For instance, McLaughlin, Composts’ Jack D&ohnette,

Speaking of the , much-discussed marriage between ,jazz and rock, such an unlikely- wedding takes place on a new Columbia LP com’bining the guitar talents of Mc,Laughlin atid Carlos Santana, Love Devotion Surrender .( KC 32034).

Not only does Santana aspire to be taken ,seriously as an improvisational musician, but-at least on the evidence of

. th’e albuti cover-he hag %alst, cIi.nibed onto McLaughlin’s ‘spiritual bandwagon. There the two of them are, big-as life and dressed‘ all in white, looking contented and at peace with it all, possessed of some inner calm you and I can never know; while, between them sit.s or stands McLaughlin’s adopted guru, Sri Chinmoy, who also offers a moving sermon on the Nature of Life as the LP’s- line; notes.

Well, if you can get past that sort of 3 r nonsense, there is good music to be found

inside. Santana began drifting towards McLaughlin’s brand of music with Buddy Miles, and then w,ith his band’s latest album, Cartivanserai, and things converge nicely here with a littIC! help from McLaughlin’s friends-notably Larry’- Young on organ and the impresske Billy Cobham on drums. The results, including a fine re-interpretation of John Coltrane’s “A Love Supreme” and his beautifully serene masterpiece “Naima”, will please Mahavishnu followers more than San- tana’s, but deserve listen by both.

Swinging back to stone-cold rock, Ipwas fortunate to come across -a copy of a second album by a relatively unknown Texas heavy-rock trio called Z.Z. Top. It’s called Tres Hombres (London XPS 631) and is, like their first LP, Rio Grande Mud, simple, straight-forward and rau-nchy rock. These guys just sound like- they’re fro-m Texas: none of this British-California glitter and flash here-just hard, heavy backbeat, wailing guitar lines and- rough vocals. c.

Another in the continuing series of trivial things to spend your money on is the latest ‘Canadiana’ album Century 11 has managed to come up with.

Eight of the nine cuts are group originals, and are also quite nice, but nothing to knock you off your musical feet. Just another pretty face in the crowd today.

The brains behind it all belong to Doug Hutton who calls himself a “media ‘en- trepreneur”. The promo material describes him as a “good salesman”. It goes on to say that he convinced four private in- vestors to put in $G!5,000 each. “He per- suaded them that this was not simply a

The whole thing smeJls like Paul Revere and the Raiders q Indian Reservation- commercial liberal bullshit. To top it all off Century II president Tommy Banks, offers these wise words; “Cantata Canada is much more than this first album. It’s an idea- a dream, really- that encompasses every conceivable medium of com- munication. It’s all of the obvious things, an effort to help bring about an awareness on the part of Canadians of their proud past, an enormously Fnjoyable . rail along which to drive the idea that we do have an interesting, exciting history. Very good Canadian music about Can-adian things and Carr;rdian people. It’s about every one ‘of us, where we come from, and where we are going.” -

It is the proud past hit that should be questioned-and the feeling permeates the whdle --atburn. Perhaps they forgotten _ how the story -really goes.

There are a few good things that happen

Hound - Dog Taylor and _ the Houserockers (Alligator 4701) are’three of the raunchiest, real, hard&core blues players you’d ever want to come across. Hound Dog, second guitarist Brewer Phiilips and drummer Ted Harvey are all southern&s- who made I their way to Chidago via all the right blues-clubs stops, around Dixie, working as sidemen with the likes of Elmore -James, Sonny Boy Williamson, Roosevelt Sikes, Memphis Slim, Little W~lterand Muddy Waters.

not going to forget us, they assure us that this boy-made-good has not stopped his dreaming but, in fact, has only just begun. “Hutton is dreaming again. Televisa‘ ion.. .film.. .theatre.. .m.useum audiovisual dis@lay’s.. .and what, abut videotape for

’ schools as a history turn-on?”

in this album, and probably not by mistake. One song, the first one on the second side is about the gold rush of ‘96. It has a believable --country and western feeling to the music and to which the words fit with really well. It is the sort of song that is easy ,to sing along to-so could conceivably come from those men and women.

Yes,, what about tha_t? The arrangements are done by a group

called Priviledge whose only claim to fame ‘so far is the Canadian original of Jesus

Christ Superstar. TKat is where they and Hutton”ifound each other.

In fact most of thk second side is pretty good but then that could be only because the first side is so bad. It is a little less ’ cosmic and they are on safer ground historically since they have left the indians behind an’d concentrate their efforts on the later exploits of the white man.

The most striking thing about Taylor’s bottleneck-style guitar work is that the groirp has no-bass player and needs none. Hound Dog fills in the bass lines bn his own three bass strings .

Unfortunately, the liveliness of this group’s music and the joyful zest with which they play it, are impossible to capture on record, and the LP fails to come any&here close to showing the Houserockers’ stuff, although it is damn good boogie-blues.

Hound Dog held triumphant week-long court at Toronto’s El Mocambo last spring and is appearing there again soon, so cat’ch the real thing.

-gs kaufman

Hutton had the songs on the album-all eleven. of them-written by different people, but performed by the one group. The album loses a l’ot because of this. In most cases the words and music do not mix. And the poetry of the songs falls dobn because of his insistence on a ‘rock- musical’ motif.

The album includes a very pretty ’ booklet that contains the ’ poetry with some excellent graphics. It shows more explicitly how good the poetry is and then what a mediocre job was done with it . musically. There is little to encourage anyone to listen to the album more than once.

The introduction is nice and classy- could easily trick the listener- into thirrking that they have a quiet but potierful album here. Quiefiut it could get the message across to some with its good ‘liberal’ words -’ some’ being people who are new to- the overtiorked vocabulary offered by those ‘socially conscious’ entrepreneurs.

The first page in this little helpful booklet has an interesting few word- S . . . “The sdngs in this record reflect feelings. Mostly, theag- about where we’ve been, but they’re’also about where we are, and where we’re going. All of them about us.”

\ Three blind men

De Chelderode wrote this short piece, (The Blind Men) in 1933, inspired by Breughel’s painting, “The Parable of the l3lind Men”. (A reproduction is on display in the Theater Gallery.)

Briefly, the plot concerns three blind men who convince themselves that they are near Rome, the goal of their pilgrimage. When a one-eyed man informs them that he has watched them travelling in circles nowhere near Rome, they reject both his information and his offer of aid, and promptly fall into a bog he has warned them about.

De Chelderode’s fascination with church music shows at the first with an expressive flute and church thymes played sensi tively together and conti nuing during the chanting entrance of the three

\ pilgrims. All three possessed a forcefulness of delivery which was impressive technically but seemed incongruous with their presumably fatigued state. Also, this strength of the ‘deluded’ characters seemed a challenge to the actual reality represented by the more toned-down performance of the one-eyed man. Par- ticularly effective were the anxious gropings of the blind men over the stage steps, and the large expressive hands of the oldest pilgrim as he twisted his staff in search of meaning that his eyes could not perceive.

I found the play mildly entertaining on the surface, and allowed myself some searching for symbolic significance to enrich he experi ence. There seemed to be a brief dialectic here between Truth and Fantasy-fantasy manifested in the blind men’s stubborn belief that they are near Rome when they are actually near their starting point. They are so trapped in this delusion of hope that they imagine the,mseIves ‘seeing’ the dome of St. Peter. They deny even the reality of their blind- ness. Truth is personified in the one-eyed man, who reveals their error. Still the blindmen persist with- their fallacy. Finally Truth is the victor in the “stark reality of death”. Had they accepted liis words, they would have received food, shelter, and protection instead of death. One could thus infer t:lat blindness to reality is more pervasive a flaw than mere blindness of visibn.

and now here’s . . .

In the midst of political strife in some of the federation’s favourite countries, political scandal in some of the Ad- ministration’s favourite countries, and watery beer in some of the local pubs, some people still refuse to take anything seriously. If you’re one of those people, you’ll probably feel right at home in Fass this year. For those of you who don’t know what Fass is- it’s hard to explain. Some look upon it as a Christian version of your basic Roman orgy. Margaret Mead has remarked upon its similarities to New Cuinean puberty rites. Fabs people themselves still insist that it’s an amateur theatrical group whose purpose is to take a satirical look at the‘ University of Waterloo.

Whatever it is, Fass is back this year, repainted, reupholstered, and with an oil change, getting ready for a week of harmless lunacy in February, and you (yes, even you), are invited to join. We need’

people for writing, acting, advertising, and technical work, for this years show. Everybody is welcome. The only things you need are enthusiasm and a note from your mother. Talent-or the lack of it- is n-o problem.

If you want to meet some fantastic people, have a lot of fun on and off stage, and take a few potshots at things that bug you about the university, come on to the general meeting on Thursday, October 18, at 730 p.m., in the Theatre’of the Arts. Particularly if you’re new on campus, Fass is a great way to meet guys and girls, so we’d love to see you. Party Afterwards.

company in question. Her only source of support comes from a father she detests and his hired-hand whom she immediately pegs as a typical male wanting but one thing from any female. (Thank god she’s not a typical female!) Her level of toleration towards the two men is in- creased for the simple reason that theygre working towards a common goal, and it is obvious, even to the brave heroine, that singlehandedly, she has no hope of fending off the villainous oil company. The result a partnership is formed.

Unless you are extremely desparate, stay away from the Capitol Theatre until the showing of Oklahoma Crude has reached a merciful termination. There are several ways to describe “waste”, but to make it easier for you, as well as for this particular reporter, I’ll simply rename the picture Oklahoma Crap! This is rather unfortunate when one considers the misuse of the fine acting ability that was available courtesy of the film’s headliners, George C. Scott and Faye Dunaway. Neither performer requires an introduction to moviegoers, but it is a safe assumption that Oklahoma - - will definitely not be remembered as a highlight in either career. In all fairness to the flick’s promoters, bear with me for a brief description of the plot.

Ready? The story takes place in the early years of the twentieth century with casual mention of the Spanish American war of 1898. The bulk of the action occurs on a typical prairie plain, typically found in ‘good ole’ Oklahoma’. It is the age of the oil-well craze and therefore, the age of ambitious settlers ‘aimin” to make it rich. Not only do these settlers have to fight off Mother Nature and fate throughout their endeavours, they must also fight off the exploitation attempts of the established oil companies. In this particular tale, the ambitious settler is portrayed in the character of Lena, ‘a man-hating, gun- toting’ female who refuses to sign over her plot of land to Pan-Oklahoma, the evil oil

here is even more obvious; lastly, in- nocent settlers versus cruel corporation- Question-Will justice prevail? Will fate smite down-on our weary settlers and grant them with an oil strike? You don’t have to tune in next week to solve the mystery- but, there is one unexpected curve thrown in by Producer/Director Stanley Kramer near the end which is not in line with the rest of this typical movie.

Concerning the controversy over the picture’s title-one gets the feeling that Kramer must have intended Crude to be taken in its most inelegant sense. The constant use of profanity seems to be the movie’s last resort in securing ‘laughs’ from the audience. Also, depending upon your appreciation of slap-stick humour, there are a few instances-such as, a naked man running with blood spouting from his buttocks after being hit with buckshot, and again, when one man holds another at gunpoint while the former urinates on the latter’s expensively tailored overcoat. These are comical, yet not to the point of hilarity, but even these scenes are somewhat limited. They appear to be a desparate attempt at holding the picture toget her.

George C. Scott as the hired-hand needs to fall back on his highly reputable past and its memorable characterizations to carry off this role as Mace. His female counterpart, Lena, under the guise of Faye Dunaway, originally presents herself as an out-spoken, bad-mouthed renegade who almost too conveniently transforms into an understanding woman, complete with ample warmth and passion. The sup- porting cast of John Mills and jack Palance, playing the father and chief villain respectively, make a valiant at- tempt, especially Mills, ,to regenerate the movie’s dying pace. Eventually they seem to realize that the die has been cast beyond salvation.

Admission to Oklahoma Crude is 82.25. With that money I suggest that you buy twenty-five ice-cream cones or nine draft beer or two hundred and twenty-five ‘doubles bubbles’ or

Tony van Bridge’s special student matinee as C.K. Chesterton, could tiardly be billed, in the interest of accuracy, as a matinee at all. It lasted barely an hour. The performance was obvioulsy designed as a separate package for a high school audience and bore little relationship to the evening performance. However, despite this shortcoming van Bridge’s charm and wit pleased everyone. His casual, relaxed style and obvious enthusiam for Chesterton commanded a warm response from the audience.

It is always interesting, an-d particularly to the new theatre-goer, to see how an actor prepares for a performance. This van Bridge did with panache and good humour. The stage became for this pur- pose, a dressing room. With the assistance of a dresser, van Bridge grew in size, shaped his face, changed his coloring, donned wig and eyebrows- literally converted himself into the visual image we have of Chesterton from his famous photograph.

The actor’s challenge in this kind of reading-performance is to establish two illusions of reality. The first is simply that CKC is reading his short story The Blue, Cross. The second is‘ more difficult and involves a shift from Chesterton as . narrator on stage to the other characters and another locale.

The hero of the The Blue Cross is Father Brown, the priest-detective who is perhaps Chesterton’s most popular character. He comes in contact with the most colorful people and it appears to be an effortless accomplishment for van Bridge to turn dialogue into character.

Van Bridge’s reading leaves little to be desired. It is only surprising that the programme did not offer more substance. One short story and one short poem was little indeed. The audience was as un- certain as the house staff when the per- formance ended. It took a phone call from the box office and a certain delay to confirm that it was really over.

The price of the tickets for this per- formance is open to question. Student tickets for the expanded evening per- formance were one dollar and fifty cents. This special student mini-performance was actually higher priced, by far, at a dollar a ticket. A matinee with a qualifying description such as ‘special or ‘student’ is not the same performance as is being offered in the evening. Students should make a few enquiries as to content before purchasing them in future.

le the really

So, although the stores would like you good ir tending

scientific but it can be used as a ldicator of the way prices are

Of all theeitems checked only three had consistent prices at every store, compared to last year when only milk prices were the same all across the board. This year bread, milk and surprisingly, mushrooms all held the line. The prices for bread and milk are apparently set by the bakeries and dairies respectively and the stores are content to abide by these prices.

Therefore; the difference in prices must have been among the other items on the list., The prices did in fact vary grossly among the stores. :A single item would jump anywhere from one cent to fifty cents between stores. But then they would make it up on some other item that the first store would have priced outrageously.

Zehr’s at the junction of Weber and King Sts in Waterloo, had their sunkist oranges marked at $1.50 for one dozen, where every one else had the price down around 90 cents with the lowest price being at the Hiway Market (King St E in Kitchener) a mere 79 cents It is interesting to note that this in fact is ,a drop over their price last year-98 cents for one dozen.

Trying to make up for this price outrage, Zehr’s marked their hamburg at 96 cents a pound. That was cheaper than anywhere else.with the highest price being sl.09 at WEO.

All the stores made up for their high prices by irrationnally cutting a price somewhere else. No store cut prices consistently enough for it to effect their profit margin or your budget.

Examining the table you might notice that only two stores were carrying ordinary white- rice, and that these stores had in- creased their price a ’ substantial amount. Rice is not going to be any easier to find and it is not going-to get any cheaper. There has been massive flooding in Thailand:9 main source of milled rice. Also, Louisiana and Texas, two other sources of rice were hit -by hurricanes earlier this year that destroyed their entire crop. ’

In connection with this, the soya bean crop was also wiped out at the same time in the southern united states and that put an end to the soya burger that had ap- peared on the meat counters earlier this summer.

And more good news, which is that the pastas that students and many other folks have been depending on fora cheap filler,

/’

has also come in for rough times-. There is apparently some difficulty with the hard wheat crop and that has caused a severe shortage of those valuable pastas. Another culprit in the whole,matter is .the person that hoards’ such anitem or buys it up in huge quantities. So this is going to cause, in fact has already caused the prices of pastas to increase a giant-sized 300 percent. _

The Italian goverments solution to this problem is to suggest that they repeal the law forbiding the production of pasta out of soft wheat and start making the Italian pasta out of- this wheat. Italians are un-

,derstandably upset-pasta made out of soft wheat turns, to glue when water is added which is why softwheat was outlawed in the first place. .

Returning to this country thinking about which store is the most interesting and fun to shop in since you do have to shop, the considered opinions of those that did this survey-is that Hiway Market is the winner in, this catagory. However, it is not the winner in the cheap food catagory. The old wooden floors and the mixing of food with dry goods in the aisles adds a certain oldfashioned air to the place and softens your heart a little when you are prone to become upset at the cost of shopping- zanywhere.

For those to whom it would-make a- difference, Dutch Boy, Dominion and Zehrs all continue to carry Dare products despite the fact that Dare is producing his cookies by scab labour and the legitimate workers are still on strike. These stores have ignored the boycott called ‘by the strikers and endorsed by the Ontario Federation of Labour.

Also, along the same vein, most stores manage to provide an alternative to most Kraft products-except the grated /cheese and the salad dressings. Dominion does carry another brand of grated cheese but you have to search it out very thoroughly. This, again, is despite the boycott called against Kraft by the National Farmers Union.

So try to remember it all. WE0 and their “no expensive frills- just .wild warehouse prices; Zehrs and their gold star . stamps; Dominion and their deep discount prices”; Highway Market with their nice soft touch. Don’t fool yourself into thinking there is any %way you can possibly save money -that is not why they are in the business.

ilowly . by Barry Weisberg ’ i

The big oil monopolies who are behind the so-called “energy crisis” in the U.S. demonstrate no lack of energy. when it comes to maximizing profits.

This is-the name of the “gasoline shortage” game-this and the com- plexities of international imperialist politics.

The seven international oil monopolies have found the exploitation of’ foreign

crude oil considerably more profitable than domestic operations. Today it is 35 times cheaper to produce oil in the Middle East than in Texas or Louisiana. ,

The. returns on foreign’ petroleum in- vestment have always constituted the most important source ‘of earnings. for U .S . imperialism. Oil now represents about 92 percent of all U.S. investment in the Middle East, 60 percent in Asia, 59 percent in Africa and 35 percent in Latin America.

As has been illustrated in many studies, the profit-seeking operations of the companies have run directly contrary to’ the independent political development of . the host countries. Iran, is a vivid example of how much wealth has been extracted1

I In 1950, the year prior to the first nationalization in Iran, net profits of the British-controlled petroleum company exceeded the total received by the Iranian government in the preceeding 50 years. Between 1900-1960, the gross receipts of U.S. oil companies in the- Middle East amounted to $32 billion, while ail/workers in countries such as Iran were paid $1.30 a

- day during the 1950’s.

Even these figures seem conservative, realizing that wells in the Gulf are 100-500 times more productive than in the/US. Of the 74 oil fields operating in the Gulf, 31. were found during the 1960’s.

If present production patterns continue, by 1980 Saudi Arabia and Iran alone will be producing one-fourth ) the world’s oil supply. Though the Persian Gulf accounts for only 2.5 percent of all U.S. foreign investment today, returns from the Gulf represent about 1.5 percent of the total returns on foreign investment.

Even though it has not been until recently that the United States has relied substantially upon oil from the Middle

-East, the profits of the major *petroleum companies,. who sell the oil to Europe, Japan and underdeveloped. nations, have heavily depended upon -Middle East prod& tion .

After World War 2, as American in- terests took over from the British in the

‘Middle East and assumed control over the old colonial. empires in the Pacific, the -foreign-produced oil of U.S. corporations began to flood the U.S. market. In 1948, for the first time imports exceeded ex’ports and the increasing levels of imports caused cutbacks in U.S. ‘production. U.S. wells were almost closed down while cheap Mid-East or Venezuelan crude oil was being imported. \

To curb the deteriorating situation of - domestic producers, the Mandatory Oil

Import Program limited imports to 12.2 (percent of domestic demand east of the* Rockies. This plan, introduced in 1959,<, was suspended by President Nixon on May 1, 1973.

This system separated the cost. of domestic crude ’ oil from foreign price fluctuations. In 1969, for instance; following .a 25 cent per barrel raise -in the. cost of domestic crude&he price of foreign crude oil landed on the East Coast was $1.50 a barrel cheaper than domestic crude.- This system of subsidy for the oil companies cost, American workers about F5 billion a year. -

Since the quota system was im- plemented in 1959, prices of domestically produced oil remained? almost constant until 1969-while the world price declined about 40 percent.

Until 1969, U.S.. petroleum imports remained steady. Middle East crude accounted for only 3 percent of the total imports, with most of the oil coming from Canada and Venezuela. From 1960. through 1972, imports increased 52 percent, in response to lower domestic production. From 1972 through the end of this year, imports are expected, to-jump from 27 percent to 33 percent of the total market- three quarters of the new oil coming from_ the Middle East.

- Official estimates, based largely upon industry fig,ures, project that by 1980 over 50 percent of U.S. energy will come from abroad-mostly from the Persian Gulf.

,

currencies by more than . two percent. -? Prices rose by 8.55 percent in February, 1972, and 5.69 percent in April. ’ l The 1972 Riyadh Participation. Agreement provides that 30 percent participation by producing countries in the operations of companies will be achieved by 1978, leading to 51, percent by January 1,1982. In a.ddition, the countries will sell back to the companies an agreed fraction of their participation oil, starting with 75 percent in 1973, decreasing to 50 percent in’ 1974 and 25 percent in 1975.

At the same time, a number of other developments may well escalate , the demands of -producing countries far beyond the officially agreed upo,” set- tlements. They include the Iraqi

Reprinted from GuerjCla Iran, Saudi Arabia and Iraq, together with the small sheikdoms of Abu Dhabi, Bahrein, Dubai, Kuwait, Qman and Qatar, account for about.60 percent of the world’s total oil and consume only about 1.2 percent of the world’s energy. The reserves amount to six times more than the U.S.‘s.

To protect ‘this investment, U.S. im- perialism has since 1945 employed a number of means in its efforts to stabilize the region for U.S. profits, ranging from support for Zionism to the CIA-sponsored coup: in Iran j in 1953 and the landi.ng* of U.S Marines in Lebanon in 1958.

It hardly occurred to the petroleum monopolies that they would meet resistance when they sought to reduce their posted prices and tax payments to the producin’g countries in 1958 and 1959. But spurred first by Venezuela, Saudi Arabia and Iran, the lo-member Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) was formed in 1960 to counter the monopolies.

In the, last decade, the world oil situation has changed dramatically. Since 1959, nationalizations of oil production have occurred in a dozen small producing countries, until the/important steps taken by Algeria in 1971 and Iraq in i972. In 1967, the closing of the Suez Canal due to the Six-Day War, the subsequent rise in tanker prices and t,he blockage of’ the Trans Arabian Pipeline (Tapline) by Syria in May 1970 thrust Libya into an ek- tremely favorable position.

Just months before the Tapline was cut off, King Idris was overthrown by Col. _Muammar Qaddafi. Libya, because of its proximity to Europe, was not, dependent either upon higher tanker rates or the‘ ‘Tapline and began- production cutbacks in order to force higher taxes. Tanker rates soared again. Shortages appeared. Libya- bargained with companies one by one, obtained large concessions, -further en- forcing cutbacks in production until companies conceded. Nigeria and Venezuela followed suit and substantial raises were won in the Gulf States. Since- this initial -move by Libya a number of new negotiations have proceeded between OPEC and the monopolies. They include: i

. l The Teheran and Tripoli Agreements I\ of 1971 set forth a four-st’ep increase in posted prices through 1975, which will raise oil company -payments to Persian Gulf nations by $1.50 per barrel, or 80 percent over 1969 levels. The magnitude of* this increase is impressive. In 1969,

nationahzation of the Kirkuk fields, the $Libyan discussion of 50 percent par- ticipation immediately and the recent+ Iranian agreements, which effectively ,/ extend the operations of Western oil companies in Iran to, 1994. The new ’ agreement of principle transfers “control” ’ of the oil to the Iranian government, - through a purchase sales contract which gives members of the Western oil con- sortium a continuing right to crude production within their areas. L -

Though it appears that the new agreement- changes little in fact, it is designed to give the appearance of in- ’ creased Iranian control of petroleum reserves, in response to advances by other producing’ nations. , (

The net result of these steps is certainly ’ going to greatly increase the revenue of *- ’ producing nations, but it remains to be seen exactly how much control will in fact - rest with the governments of producing nations. At the very least, it indicates the - steady -‘erosion of the control that the ’ seven oil monopolies once had on the world’s crude petroleum reserves. At best, the recent steps taken by producing nations reflect the growing unrest, of Arab and Iranian peo’ples not only with Zionism and U.S. imperialism, but with the regressive regimes which rule at home.

The movement of producing govern- ments toward, greater control over . petroleum resources cannot be explained I ’ by the “good will” or simple progressive tendencies of these leaders, but in fact reveals the growing struggle within the. Gulf and‘ entire Middle East of the students, poor and working people for self- ’ < determinination. With the rise of the I~ Palestinian resistance groups, the victory of the People’s Democratic Republic of Yemen in 1967, the formation of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Oman , and the Arab Gulf (PFLOAG) in 1971 (which already controls 90 percent of Dhofar),. and the growing student ’ movements in Iran and Egypt, the regimes of most oil;producing countries have been obliged ’ to take certain . progressive steps.

These steps so far change little in terms of actual control over oil production, but , they should not be underestimated. They . have cut deeply into the position and profits of U.S. imperialism in the Gulf. For, the major companies, the rate of return on net investments Iin the Eastern Hemisphere has declined from 18.2, percent in 1957 to 11.2 percent in-1970. In. general, the petroleum industry has fared

* poorly in terms of profit returns in recent years. A recent Fortune Magazine article ’ depicted _ the petroleum industry as’ the . worst of 10 industries in comparison of : return sales between 1966 and 1972. e----Y

The monopolies are correct in their -. claims that the direction of the “present OPEC demands will in time spell the end of U.S.. domination of the resources and people of the Middle East.

This is critical to understanding the present “energy crisis”. Part of the pr=osed solution for U.S. imperialism is to consolidate the large companies’ hold over fuels and markets, by purchasing large interests in alternative fuels and by -

,forcing out the smaller independents.‘ Concerned over the emergence of --

national liberation struggles in the Gulf and the insecurity of the Arab-Israeli ’ conflict, the monopolies ‘have in recent

- _

years intensified their search for other petroleum reservesaround the world, particularly in southern Africa, Nigeria, Ecuador, Peru, - Brazil, and Southeast Asia. Petroleum ‘investment il l the Asia- Pacific Region between 1970-85. is . estimated at $61 billion alone.

In each case, the penetration of U.S. oil ’ iinterests has brought wi.th it resistance by nationalist and revolutionary forces in. 1 . those countries and the growing , possibility of expropriation or military confrontations. . / i-1

ndrrr), -for North American society, the search for social mechanisms to reverse;or at least amel’iorate,the trend, ‘is .botind to continue’ outside the borders of -currently. accepted social custom. ,

In this regard it has been suggested that we might take & ‘tip- from the Qolla Indians of South Amerjca, who, for the moment at least, possess what is possibly thb most internally hostile, society in the world. Living in a harsh environment with limited resources, each Qolla family works its own plot of land,and co- operation ,is rat-e. Friendship bonds are fiagile, and even within families, contention and suspision are normal. Arguments,

I’name-calling and aggressive behaviour of all kinds, including murder, are commonplace.

The method employed by the Qolla in circumventing their somewhat disruptive social practices is a custom c&d tawanku, a curious form of group marriage serving to reduce- the widespread sexual and economic insecurity which is standaid. in that society. As anthropologists Ralph and Charlene Bolton describe it, tawanku begins with an agreement between two husbands: “The usual procedure for the men is to settle upon a d&e when $1 four persons can, get together, to.. .become drunk. After they have gotten the two women completely inebriated they all go tobed in the same room, each man taking the other’s wife to one sid&of the hut. Following intercourse, the two couples remain together to- sleep for the night. In the morning

4he women discover what has happened. In the ensuing discussion the men .convince the women that they should becom’e tawan ku partners .“m

Tawanku relationships often continue for years, and frequently a -Iifetibe. A meeting for all those interested .in forming a tawanku club &:Ycampus will be held next Wednesday-at noon in the security offices. . -

They cheat on exams Salmon may be smarter than you think, and unless you have an

unusually inflated conception of the fish’s intellectuat- tapacities, they-probably are. .

Atlantic salmon authority Wilfred Carter has revealed that there are indications that the game-fish has definite built-in navigational aids. These myst&ibus aids enable the salmon to return to their spawning grout-ids after years of growing up in deep ocean waters. i

Fish biologists believe that the tasty marine-dwelier may be . using a n3vigati_onal code which is mathematical, electrical or chemical, or perhaps a combination of all three..

One local salmon, now serving on’ the executive of the - fedemtion OT students, disagreed with the reports, stating that they werebased on what could only be regarded, as the flimsiest of’ scientific- evidence. -

“As far as 1%~ concerned,” he went on, “salmon are -just as stupid as people have always believed them to be.” . I- ,

Japan is cGiretit-ly exi periencing a backlash of environmentalist feeling which puts North American reaction to pollution in a relatively shameful light.

In a recently-conducted survey in Tokyo, 4dper cent of 2,500 respondents believed that “the occurrence of pollution is absolutely im- permissible even for the sake of industrial development”. Another 13 per cent con- sidered it an “endurable necessity”. In 1966 responses measured’only 27 per cent in the former category, with 29 per cent in the latter.

Rather than depending ore such devices as the “pollution index” to keep track of en- vironmental rape, the f-apanese peop-le use somewhat more -colourful standards of measurement.

It is the ‘insufficient data’ rationale, for example, with which federal agencies excuse themselves for not banning the (literally) thousands of chemical adulterants which add zest, flavour and colourful-plasticity to our food. The same ’ rationale prevented health warning from appearing on cigarette packages until a couple of years ago; in both these cases the industrial lobbies concerned were powerful ‘and determined enough to successful1 deploy a scientific argument to win their own ends, without taking into account the risks and probabilities in- dicated by research up to that time.

One barometer of the public’s growing awareness and interest in science- particularly as it affects our lives-is the increasing prevalence and popularity of the literary genre misnomered ‘science fiction’, whether it be of the Buck Rogers adventure yarn variety, or the more probing, speculative novels of a Samuel Delany or a Ray Bradbury. Some of these works are unabashedly concerned with the probable futures of mankind; in this line names like Arthur C. Clarke come im- mediately to mind.

case, there can be no doubt that the mass- consumption of speculative fiction, together with the simultaneous interest in the work of science popularisers like Isaac. Asimov, as such far-fetched theorists as

-Erich von Daniken (Chariots of the Gods, etc .) reflect an increasing consciousness of the part played by scientific research and the technology which spawns in determining the course of our lives.

It is to answer some of the questions raisea’ in our minds concerning science, technology and their implications, that the science and technology section of the chevron exists. Already several articles are being worked on by scientists on campus, which will hopefully appear in the weeks to’ come.

/’ f0k scie-itisti Those who would have envisaged a

chevron with a science and technology section as being somewhat analogous to; say, a skyscraper with flying buttresses, were no doubt surprised to find the aforementioned animal abruptly gracing ourpages as of the last three weeks.

This development has come about primarily in recognition of the obvious fact that many, perhaps most, of our readers have academic’ interests that lie in scientific and technological areas; we realize that, it is important that these interests be reflected to some extent in the paper. \ . ~ ’

Our ‘problem in meeting the postulated demand for this type of material has historically arisen from the general lack of expertise among chevron staffers ‘in matters scientific. In the past two issues we have depended primarily on material culled from outside sources, including two feature length articles from New Scientist. This is a practice we would like to do away

-with as far as possible, in favour of features generated. within this university, by people whose scientific background qualifies the-m to speak of such matters in some wise authoritatively, which is where the imbalance in the interests and talents of our present staff becomes crucial.

What we will avoid at all costs, however, is that species of writing of interest to and readable by, scientists ex- clusively,- the chevron can not and should

not attempt to duplicate the function of scientific journals, even within a section whose main orientation is towards science.

This means that the articles we would like to print would in general be in language sufficiently non-technical to admit the layman’s understanding, and in some way connecting- scientific research with its possible effects on society. -

The whole question of a ‘scientist’s obligation to society, “pure research”, and academic secrecy are as relevant today as they were when the first atomic bomb) exploded over Hiroshima, or when it first became well-known that weapons developed in Canada by Canadian scientists were being sold to the United States Army for use in the Indochina war. This question is -badly ‘in need of examination, yet is virtually ignored outside of armchair discussion. Perhaps it could be opened up by scientists on this campus, who must %ave given it at least some thought.

One problem that relates to scientific research as it affects our lives is the degree of verification which is required before even the most elementary social or legal improvements can be made; vested in- ’ terests are wont to argue that proof which is not-final is no proof at all. While this may be mathematically true, there are some cases in which the stakes are high enough that action must be taken while even a possibility exists that it is needed.

Limiti , factor -

physical or

social DO YOU believe there are no physiological or anatomical reasons why women should not participate in the same sports as men? If you do, then you can consider yourself as having a fairly “liberated” view.

The belief is still widespread, even among people who should know better, that certain sports are suitable for women and girls while others are not because they are supposed to involve the kind of stresses which will permanently damage the reproductive organs and breasts. This, some people say, jeopardizes Her “primary function” in life.

Women are usually barred from contact sports such as football, hockey and soccer for this reason. Yet basketball and field hockey are considered “suitable”. One wonders whether perhaps a new definition is required of what constitutes a “contact sport”.

In track and field women are not yet allowed to compete in the triple jump or the pole vault, yet are permitted to long and high jump. One does not have to be a track and field expert to realize that the physical stresses involved ’ are quite similar. Furthermore, the advent of the foam pit has con- siderably reduced the shock of landing, even if this were really a problem; most knowledgeable people now realize that it is not. No more than for men, anyway.

Women are not yet given competition longer than 1500 meters at the Olympics (and this event itself was not introduced until 1972). Yet many women, some of them mothers, have been competing in marathons for years without special problems.

More and more girls are playing baseball, hockey and soccer, apparently without injury to their reproductive organs. Women also compete in Moto-cross (cross- country motor c.ycling) and skidiving ! hot dogging 1 without reports of injuries special to women. These events produce stresses and shocks which are extremely heavy. Granted, the ladies suffer the same injuries as the men.

Dr. C.H. McCloy makes the following observation in his report, A study of landing shock in jum- ping for women:

“Dr. R.H. Paramore, who has experimented extensively in this field, has called attention to the additional fact that the uterus is surrounded by structures of practically the same specific gravity as itself, and thus it nor- mally has no air spaces around it. Thus, it floats in a miniature pool of pelvic viscera, just as it might, if detached, float in a jar filled to the brim with water.

“Such a body suffers only such shock as occurs within itself and does not fly violently through the fluid when shaken. This can easily be proven by placing a raw egg in a liter jar filled to ,the brim with

water and then securing the lid in such a way as to exclude all air. No degree of violent handling that does not smash the jar will injure the egg.” .

Our internal organs are well protected by this built-in cushion which acts as a shock absorber, minimizing any blow which might be transmitted to the organs.

Not so’ for the male. It is the male’s reproductive organs which should be a source of concern- their external location, devoid of any protection whatsoever, leaves them vulnerable to damage.

The real point is not what is likely to happen to whom, but what the individual’s interests and attitudes are. These are what should dictate which .sports are suitable for women and girls-not antiquated beliefs about hypo- thetical dangers, or silly social customs.

Let’s not underestimate the physical capabilities of women. Remember the physical strength a woman needs to work on a farm, run a house, look after children and-most of all-to have children. In many countries, women are required to till the fields, chop wood and work on roads.

These activities are not too strenuous for the female. Neither should certain sports which many women and girls would thoroughly enjoy. Sociological sanctions should not be confused with physiological limits as far as sport is concerned. And frankly, most of the sociological sanctions are pretty silly, too.

Dr. Tenley E. Albright, a Boston surgeon, says : “Doors are con- tinuing to open for women in sports, and the limit should be what the girl sets for herself. The safeguards are pretty well built in.” roberta angeloni

Imported

European

sport ORIENTEERING is an imported European sport that is a “natural” for the multitudes who now enjoy walking and running outdoors as a method of keeping fit. It in- corporates all those activities- plus the exciting element of competitive navigating.

It’s just beginning to catch on in Canada-there are about 1,000 devotees across the country-but in most of Europe it’s big. An orienteering competition in Sweden, for example, is likely to att_ract several thousand par- ticipants. Whole families take part.

Perhaps this is a reflection of general fitness levels. The average Swede of 60, it has been said, is as fit as the average Canadian of 30.

The great thing about this sport is that it provides opportunities for participation no matter what your age or fitness level. It is divided into levels of difficulty which match any physical capacity. This is one reason for its popularity in countries which place value on participation in sport rather than watching.

A novice orienteer normally runs a course of about a mile in search of four or five control markers which have been placed on prominent terrain features in advance. A map and a compass are tied around his wrist to aid him in his navigation between control points.

Choices The course setter is likely to

locate controls in such a way that there are several route choices between control points with the

direct line route often the least effective one to follow.

Intelligent map reading is essential to orienteering as is the ability to read a compass ac- curately. The map will indicate creeks, hills, roads, etc. so that the participant can ascertain whether he is physically able to cope with the route he chooses.

As the novice gains in skill he tackles increasingly more difficult courses until he reaches the elite level.

The orienteer competing at the elite level should be able to run several miles at a steady pace with no difficulty and have, a very good understanding of advanced map and compass reading.

At the outset of a meet each participant reports to the scorer’s table and decides which course matches his ability. He is then issued with a map and control card with a verbal description of each marker’s exact location.

After receiving the “go” signal, he proceeds to the “master map area” where he locates the master map for the course he has chosen , and carefully marks the location of the control markers on his own map.

Clocking in ’ Once he has reached the first

control point, and has decided that it coincides with the one described, he punches his control card in the proper square. Each punch has a symbol peculiar to the control point it represents.,

Now the participant quickly - turns his attention to control number two. Time is of the essence in competition. At the finish line, each participant turns in his fully completed control card to officials for time computation.

Many orienteering enthusiasts do not have the inclination to compete and their participation falls only within the realm of recreation. They navigate whichever course they choose at their own pace.

The sport of orienteering can be practiced by the whole family as well as by individuals of both sexes in every age group.

Participation Orienteering is definitely not a

spectator sport; it can only be enjoyed by participation.

Jack Lee, president of the On- tario Orienteering Association, was introduced to the sport when he was attending McMaster University . Information was handed out to the students describing two offbeat sports and the one that intrigued him was ’ orienteering. Through a friend who - had track and field contacts he received an invitation to attend an orienteering clinic at the University of Guelph given by Professor A. Sass Peepre in 1966. Now Jack Lee is at the elite level of 1 orienteering.

Ontario seems to be the hub of orienteering activity in Canada.

“There are presently 500 active members. In the fall we expect to double that number”, says Lee.

The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie .kt 2 thru 8

directed by Luis Bunuel 1972 “In describing the peregrinations of six characters in search of a hot din,ner, tjunuel has achieved a perfect synthesis of surreal wit and blistering social assault. To the extent that its characters hover elusively between metaphor, symbol, stereotype and illusion, The DiscJeet Chprm of the Bourgeoisie‘is literally a black comedy of manners, of a formulary politeness which assimilates the most bizarre and indiscreet occurrences to its own inflexible forms. The tredtment is perhaps more outrageously anarchic than ever before, but the old anarchist also imp,licitly acknowledges his powerlessness to alter the complex forms-social, artistic, and political-which provoke and nourish his displeasure.”

*Jan Dawson, B.F.I.

“One of my dreams was to have team personnel who during the game in both offensive and defensive situations, would be complete/y alert and ready to react to each situation at maximum speed and with full

- intent to make their moves wok This, of course will always remain just a dream since athletes invariably have soft spots in their attention /eve/s-they make several great moves,and then tend to ride it a little. However, this is the great coaching challenge: to continue the never-

. ending search to motivate and drill the football player so that he gives every play his maximum concentration and effort.” / Anute fockne 7930

Warribrs will be worked on during this

-weep

_

Despite the fact that this year’s Warriors were depending on their defence to add some stability to the team, the defence for the second time -in a row allowed the op- position to score two early toucli- downs. The opposition this time was a powerful Lutheran team, and the final score was 38-7 in favour of the Hawks. _

Down 26-l at half time the Warriors came back to make a respectable showing in the second half, only to be outscored 13-6. The Warriors showed their potential in a series of plays near the end of the third quarter which led to their only touchdown. The Warriors offence managed a net gain of only ten yards on the ground, but managed to accumulate eighty- two yards in the air. Lutheran’s totals were 282 and -139 respec- tively .

Tomorrow the Warriors will have a chance to make up for their previous feeble showings, when

_ they travel to Toronto to challenge the University of Toronto Blues. This year’s Blues could have the most potent offence in the nation.

-They currently lead the O.U.A.A. statistics in the offensive yardage gained. Much of the offensive power comes from the throwing arm of quarterback Wayne Dwnkley. Dunkley leads the league in passing yardage and according to Warrior coach Delahey , is the best in the nation and his three receivers are in the top ten.

The Warriors will be hurting because of the loss of their leading

‘rusher who will be out for several weeks with a separated shoulder. An improved pass rush on defence and improved blocking on the part of the offence are rough spots that

- week’s practices.

“We’re hungry for a victory” quoted coach Delahey, who still, maintains that the Warriors can hit the 500 mark this season. Let’s hope the Warriors don’t die of starvation before the end of the season.

Rugger ’ relics

On Wednesday, September 26, the Warrior and Trojan rugger teams met their counterparts from McMaster University. Both Waterloo teams won with scores of 23-11 and 6-O respectively.

The Warriors’ game started off with much forward ground play with the Waterloo strum pushing up and into McMaster’s end zone repeatedly .

In rugby the ball must be touched down to the ground for a score, and as happened Wed- nesday the referee usually awards a five yard s&urn to the defending side if the ball is not clearly touched down.

The Trojans’ game had both teams quickly up on the ball with much crowded running in the middle. The ball seldom got to the outside to the wingers for the quick run.

Les Kirkland playing inside centre scored the only try for the Trojans and Mike Westly con- verted it.

Men’s intra

murals Busy is ’ the key note in

describing the Men’s Intramural Program. League games in competitive soccer, lacrosse and flag football are under way and most of the scores and standings will be recorded in next week’s Chevron. In soccer action St. Jerome’s beat V2 North 1-O on a goal by Chris Gadula. Vl North and Vl West battled to a l-l draw. Regular Math led by D. Diltz with 2 goals shut out Env Studies 2-O. In another close contact the Canadian Connection dropped the Professionals by a 1-O margin. Parta Ola subdued Chem Eng by a 3-O count. V2 North found the winning touch in their second game winning a squeaker over Vl North-l-O. St. Jeromes made it two wins in a row with a 1-O victory over Vl West.

In last weekend’s action the annual Ring Road Race again took place with no deaths occurring although PUC buses travellingthe opposite direction on the Ring Road caused some concern.

Conrad Grebel was victorious with a time * of 17 minutes 41 seconds. Grebel was led by Chris MacMillan whose lap of four minutes 10 secbnds was the fastest of the day. Also representing Conrad Grebel were Peter Shen, Evan’ Miller and Mario Festival.

Placing second was an in- dependent team consisting of D. Hisza of Village 2 West, K. Peltsch of Village 1 East. P. Morton of Village 1 South and N. Jacob of Village 1 South. Their time was 17 minutes 56 seconds.

Finishing a very cIose third, only two seconds behind were Village 1 South made up of Glenn Wing, Steve Dondale, Mark Gray and Mike Apheldt .

Recreational co-ed activities are witnessing all time highs in the number of teams entering each sport. In Co-ed Volleyball, nineteen teams representing over two hundred men and women are set to begin next week. Similar numbers have entered ball hockey, floor hockey and co-ed innertube waterpolo and all are scheduled to begin next week.

A balmy autumn day with temperatures in the high 60’s greeted the competitors in this year’s meet. Over 180 competitors entered the 15 events with St. Jeromes overwhelming the op- position by amassing a total of 200 points: A distant second was a 4 man Kin team who managed to win three events and take 57 points.

-_ murals Here’s an up to the minute report

on the Women’s Intramural ac- tivities. The tennis singles tour- nament on September 26, went

fairly well, the only problem being that six contestants failed to ap- pear. The tournament was a championship-consolation tour- nament with first place to Debbie Hayes of St. Jeromes, second place to Linda Springer of Monota Hagey and third place to Carol Copeland. Congratulations girls !

With-October here and the great “cool” weather approaching flag football continues. Wednesday, September 26 was a great day for the tough competition of VI South vs. Renison. Pat Thacker of South managed to penetrate Renison’s strong defensive line and score the only touchdown of the game giving VI South the victory. Lakeshore and VI North headed each other on in the second game. Lakeshore fought a hard battle, only to have Judy Buchanan receive a “long boom” and score the only touch- down thus clinching the victory for VI North. V2 North have really been practicing lately and it seems to be paying off. They defeated V2 East, 12-O. Their quarterback Kelly Bailey executed a perfect pass to Deb Adams who scored their first six points. The final touchdown was scored on an in- terception by Lucie Krotenko. ’

Monday’s games went really well. VI West was scheduled to play Renison, but won by default. Lakeshore and Conrad Grebel were evenly matched finishing the game in a O-O tie. St-;- Jeromes vs. V2 West proved to be very in- teresting having St. Jeromes win 12-o. The touchdowns were scored by Ev Renier and “Mouse” Durrer on accurate passes from their quarterback. -The kicking part of football was introduced when Janice Crago kicked a one pointer for VI North in the final play of the game, giving them the victory over V2 North. St. Paul’s defeated V2 East, 7-O. St. Paul’s touchdown was scored by the great receiving and running abilities of Marg McSween.

By this time of the yea&, everyone is ready to do something new-and exciting play a new game never before played squaliball. That’s right and as the name suggests its volleyball in a doubles squash court. There are six players to a side with a volleyball and a volleyball. net but the catch is that the walls are in bounds. Sounds tricky doesn’t it but fun. So get .a group of kids together guys and girls and enter today. Friday 5 : 60 pm is your entry deadline.

Two new clubs are being in- troduced this year. A gymnastics club which is in the introductory period and anyone interested should contact Sally Kemp text 3533 ) .

I am writing to correct omissions made in the article “The why’s -of weight” printed in the September 21 issue of the chevron.

The point concerning the relative calorie value of yogurt hinged oi a comparison between four ounces of, commercially flavoured sweetened yogurt (about 200 Cal.) and four ounces of two percent tik (@ kcal.) . Since Ontario yogurt is usually

7!made from 2 percent .milk, the calorie value of unflavoured .yogurt and two percent milk is similar. Thus plain yogurt is low-calorie compared to ,sweetened yogurt or pie, but four bun&s of skim milk is even lower (4Okcal.).

The list of refeiencei promised in the article was omitted by mistake. I would like to include the referbnces here and encourage anyone who is- interested to write for the free booklet. The information is up to date and reliable:

in‘. Id&m \ i Muslims throughout the world are

celebrating the blessed month --of Ramadan, which commenced Friday, September 28.

Fasting is one of those religious in- stitutions which, although universally recognized, have had quite a new meaning introduced into them‘ by, the advent of Islam. Fasting was generally resorted to

‘~ in times of sorrow and affliction, probably to appease any angry “deity” ;by the heathen. In Islam, fasting is enjoined for the mqral elevation of man and for his spiritual development. This object is made clear by the Holy Koran itself, where fasting is enjoined upon Muslims.

Tl%e Holy Koran does not content itself. with simply enjoining the aoing of good and refraining from evil, but teaches man the ways by walking in which the ten- dency to evil in him can be suppressed and the tendency to good improved. Fasting is one of these means. Hence , fasting in Isiam does not simply imply abstaining from food, but also from every kind of evil.

In fact, abstention from food is but a step to make a man realize -‘if he can, in obedience to divine injunctions, abstain from food and drink which are &h&wise lawful fpr him- how much more expedient it is that he should refrain from evil, the corise&ence of which is” no doubt evil. Fasting is actually like a sort of training of ma’n’s faculties, for as every faculty of man requires training to attain its full force, the faculty of submission to the Divine Will should also require to be trained. Fasting is one of the means by which this is achieved.

In addition to that specified training, fastinghas its‘physical advantages. It not only prepares _man to bear hungel: and thirst and. thus to. accustom himself to a life of hardship and frugality,’ so that he may not be too much given over to ease, but also exercises a very good effe&upon health in general. It is a G&11-known teaching of Islam that hGnger is the best cure for many ailments; .this is a &ict proted and defended nowadays by recent medical authorities. The injunction of fasting as a religious institution and a devotidnal practice in Islam is dealt with in the Koran in the second Chapter Verse 183 thereof teaches that fasting is a religious institution almost as universal as prayer; and in Islam it is one of the four fundamental practical ordinances, the three other being player (salat), poor-tag (zakat) and pilgrimage (hajj). The ‘Koran teach& that fasting tias enjoined, on all \ naiions by the Prophets who passed before the Holy Prophet Muhammad. In the Bible it isstated that fasting has in all ages and among all nations been an exercise much in use in times of mourning and affliction. Fasting has also been in vogue among the Hindus. Eiren Christians, who assume, that theS;k have no need qf any religious exercise on account of Jesus’ atolment, are commanded by that Holy Prophet-to ke/ep the fasts.

But Isiam has introduced quite a ne a ’ meaning into the institution of fasting. Before Islam, fasting meant the suffering of some privation in times of mourning

The number of days of fas’ting, as already stated is either ‘29 or 30 days according to to how m&y the lunar month of Ramadan may contain. Lunar. months - are not alyays the same with regard to their number of days. As$o the duration of each day ‘of the month of fast, it is from dawn to sunset. Nothing whatsoever is

-allowed- to be eaten or drunk within that

The real significance of fasting’ is in prac@.ng self-restraint whge obeying Allah. We abstain from such normal acts as eating and drinking only because Allah has 90 asked tis to do. This revives our - consciousness of total submission and prepares us to observe the the way prescribed by Allah, warding off all evils :

In a sudden fit of arrogant autocratic paranoia, Art Ram has decreed that the ‘Gay Liberation Club,on campus shall have no more campus pubs.

No matter what reasons or rationalizations Ram can offer for this decision-and he has, some-the act constitutes nothing less than a blatant and ignorant discrimination based- on Ram’s own personal biases. . 5. ( 1 - -Ram, as head of the federation’s board of entertainm&t, has made many single- handed policy decisions since he was put in charge of the board-the “feds and ferns” pub-price-policy is the best and most flagrant example-while council and even Ram’s own board members’ have, sat quietly by.

But the time has come to draw a line. Ram is obviously abusing the bureaucratic powers invested in his position; his job is to implement the will of the council and of the students. .-

The board of entertainment is the most visible part of the federation to the students-it purports to represent. As a representative of the council, Ram has failed entirely. Most of his decisions come to council’s attention only after they have gone .into effect and, even in the few cases in which his decisions have been questioned or deplored,by council,

’ Ram’s only reaction has been tothumb his nose at his fellow representatives. ’ The supposed rationalization for refusing Gay Lib any more campus pubs is that they

are a security risk and might.attract “the wrong sort of,people” from off-campus. 1 __ A lot of issues come into play here. For the fall term, Ram has resurrected a policy

which has lain dormant the past few years -no club or organization other than a society can hold a pub on this campus without the “cooperation” of the federation of students. “Co-operation”here means that the federation must ,.hold the license, set prices, and supervise the pub.,

,- So, when Gay Lib asked Ram for a -fall pub, he told them no. However, the issue now is&t as clear as that: he ‘did not tell them about the policy (that no club can hold-a pub), but that they are a “security risk”!‘ ’

Apparentlythe board of entertainment is held responsible for all damages incurred at / any pub Gay Lib would hold.- If that’ should happen, it could spoil ‘Ram’s dream of

“going out with a bang”. ’ .--, The economic philosophy adopted.by the present council+f it makes money, it’s all

right- has permeated the board of entertainment to such an extent that at its meeting this week members plotted to get money from-the students “while they’ve got it”.

The feeling is that students)don’t mind paying four dollars a ticket (Guess Who last month and Lightfoot coming up) in the fall when they have more money; in the spring the federation can then sponsor a large free or super-cheap concert with money made off

If the federation, after its campaign blathering about “balance” between - politics and sandbox, is allowed to get away with 10 days of boozing following 3 - days of “politics”, then we can rest assured that ,studen_t government on this campus has given up the ghost.
