’ Copper 7 latest- NJ D

: The intra-uterine device (IUD 1 called the Dalkon Shield was taken’ off the market last June, following a’ disclosure made by the Shield manufacturer A.H. Robins Co. that six women had died and at least 36 had suffered infected spontaneous- abortions in mid-pregnancy with , the Shield in place.

I.

The’ manufacturer’s statement understandably prompted much concern among women using the Dalkon Shield and various other IUDs. Should- the ‘IUD be removed? Is, the& a type of IUD that is more effective than others? Are any of them safe? These are only some of the questions which have plagued IUD users for the last few months.

There seems to be many physicians who would recommend a-total recall of all IUDs based on the fact that little is known about this method of contraception. Dr. A.B. Morrison, Canadian aSsistant deputy minister of health protection said, “we have inadequate @ta on the safety bf all IUDs.” \

Exactly how the IUD acts to prevent pregnancy is still a matter of speculation. But even more important, the true pregnancy expulsion or removal rate of IUDs is virtually unknown. Also a matter of guesswork is the average numb& of complications, which range from “minor” complications such as IUD- induced pain to such major complications as surgical in- tervention, severe infections and death.

The Dalkon Shield is not in fact the first IUD to be outlawed. Last

year the Majzlin Spring was recalled after a number of adverse side effects were noted. The most serious was the necessity of surgical/removal when the Spring became embedded in the walls of the uterus.

Although IUDs are considered devices not drugs and hence not subjected to pre-market govern- ment testing, debate over the safety of UIDs has recently precipitated some urgent research. The United States Food and Drug Administration is trying to determine whether spontaneous septic abortions are a hazard unique only to the Dalkon Shield.

The National Centre for Disease Control in Atlanta, Georgia a division of the American Public Health Service, is currently winding up a nationwide study of serious complications associated with all types of IUDs. In fact, the study is known to have uncovered several deaths ,linked with par- ticularly serious side effects. The report will go to the American Medical Association for approval.

The Canadian -government has also begun an investigation. Dr. Morrison averred in an interview that a survey $11 be taken which will initially consist of a letter to all physicians asking them about the possible side-effects of these birth control devices.

Despite the controversy over the safety of IUDs there is one type that is still being highly recom- mended. The copper Seven (Cu-7) has been in, use for only a short time but is nonetheless considered the, first of the second-generation

’ IUDs. The- Cu-7 functions .iti a

qualitatively different way from other IUDs on the market today. The previously developed IUDs, Lippes Loop, the Saf-T-Coil and the Dalkon Shield were condeived on the notion that the size and inert physical properties of the device determined its effectiveness and safety. Although many various sizes and shapes of plastic (an inert material) IUDs were produced, side-effects (uterine cramps, excessive bleeding and expulsions ) were never completely eliminated.

These obvious inadequacies --of the inert IUD led Dr. J. Zipper to

formulate a new ,system of intra- uterine contraception. His method depended upon an anti-fertility material which would act locally within the uterine cavitj7 and a carrier for the material, which in itself would minimally disturb the uterus. *-

Zipper and his cohorts discovered that metallic copper would inhibit fertility when used locally within the cavity. In the form of an IUD it would provide a reservoir for prolonged ef- fectiveness. -

The use of copper for con- traception is equivalent in concept to topical theory in other parts of the body. The drug copper is ap- plied locally to the interior of the uterus.

Although it is not clear how this trace of copper prevents pregnancy, it is believed to work by altering the functioq of the enzymes participating in the implantation process, and by destroying the sperm without harming th_e woman.

From a study testing the biological action of copper Zipper concludes : “the introduction of this- concept of intra-uterine conception by our group has shown that it is possible to separate the efficacy of an IUD from depen- dence upon its size and surface area. Since certain side effects such as uterine cramping ‘and pain, spontaneous expulsion of the device and in some cases vaginal bleeding are also directly related to intra-uterine device size, it has also become possible to decrease the incidence of side effects while maintaining high contraceptive effectiveness.”

Considerable testing and research of the Copper Seven has gone on now-for several years. The results seem impressive. A study conducted at King’s College Hospital in London, England found that “the use of a plastic intra- uterine device as a delivery system for the active con- traceptive agent (copper) was a major advance”. Moreover, they concluded that “the main ad- vantages of the Copper-Seven over the classical intra-uterine device relate to -its ease of insertion, a very low incidence of menstrual disturbances in the first three months after insertion and a very low rate of removals for medical reasons.”

The data in support of the claim is equally impressive. Insertion of the device proved to be easy in 85 percent of the women t&ted, with minor problems in nine ‘percent and difficulties in the remaining six percent. During the first three months after insertion side effects relating to menstruation decreased from 27 percent in the first month to three percent in the third. The first expulsion rates per 100 users was 6.67, the accidental rate pregnancy rate -1;08 and removals for medical reasons 2.95.

Additional testing seems to support further claims. Patients followed up for more . than four years demonstrated no chemidal or physical damage as a, result of the copper. Its small- size, unique shape and flexibility allows the Copper Seven to be inserted without dilation of the cervix and usually with little or no discom@t to the woman. (The Cu-7 inserter .has diameter’ approximately one- half that of inserters presently in use. >

The data appears fairly con- bincing but doctors warn that no method of contraception is foolproof and there is still much to be learned about the effects of the Copper Seven. Moreover, any intra-uterine devicg is a “foreign body” to _ the human metabolism and as such they increase susceptibility to infections and make recovery more lengthy and difficult.

Sellout foiled

At last weekends students’ council meeting the Federation of Students foiled an attempt by - entertainment chairman Art Rati- to give away /the federation’s twenty thousand dollar sound and lighting equipment to the university controlled campus celitre pub.

The majority of councillors felt’ that to give away, Such an asset without compensation would be bordering on the ridiculous. Federation president Andy Telegdi expressed the sentiment of council members by qying “if the administration were to write off their intial investment in the pub (some $40,000) then we would consider doing the same with ours.”

Council, after considerable debate on this all important is%e, directed Ram to sell the sound and lighting eqtiipment to the university for use in the pub. Ram said he would try to sell the equipment but he would not be at all surprised if the university dropped the whole idea of providing entertainment in the pub. “They (the administration) don’t really want to get involved with servicing equipment in the pub” if it means the hassle of buying sound equipment, he concluded.

Publications chairman ?erry Harding disagreed with Ram on this last point, remarking that it wotild be highly unlikely if the administration did not get in- volved in providing en- tertainment once it perceived the money potential.

“People would- go to_ the downtown pubs to see live en- tertainment if the campus centre pub did not provide a com- parable commodity”, Harding

Mask off&d

University safety officer Nick Ozaruk informed the Chevron that a self-contained breathing unit has recently- been taken from its wall cabinet in the new chemistry building. The unit is used whenever there is a chemical spill in the laboratories which produce noxious fumes’ and when donned it resembles a scuba diving mask.

Apparently it is this last characteristic which concerns Ozaruk for whoever borrowed the breathing unit might intend to u_se it “as underwater diving equipment.” But according to Ozaruk, the unit is not suitable for scuba diving because the “mask fills up with water due to increased water pressure.” The result would understandably cause panic on the part of the scuba diver and could result in drowning.

So if you know the person who ~borrowed the breathing unit, please persuade him or her to return it to the university safety office located in- the ad- ministration building.

-With a nearly absent chair and board., Education was under spent by eighteen percent. Most of its expenditures went into con- ferences and in joint sponsorship with other university groups and into the Campus Forums with External Relations. -

External Relations came closest to Council’s budget going over the target by one percent with its funds being stretched all the way from the birth control centre on campus to Jhe children in the African jungles of the democratic forces fighting Portuguese colonialism.

The Board of-Grievances and the Critic-at-Large, starting initially with meagre budgets, ‘were phenomenally under projected - subsidies by fifty and nearly sixty percent respectively.

In terms of cash flow capital investment, a perusal of the subsidy and expenditure schedule for Co-operative Services is most deceptive. With an over-all subsidy of zero dollars planned, but a year’s end loss of blase to two hundred dollars, Co-op Services is an auditor’s helter skelter. Ex- pected revenue from the buses run weekly to Toronto was a quarter of the anticipated two thotisand. The ice cream stand in the Campus Ce6ter and the confectionary run at the movies jointly consumed a subsidy .of thirty-seven hundred dollars instead of the planned five hundred. Tpe real mysteries surround the record shop in the basement of the Campus Center. With the auditor’s report showing an intake of some five thousand dollars, the operation of the shop is paying for itself while tying up between twenty to thirty thousand dollars of federation money in stock at any one time.

As historically has been the case, the hero or heroine of the day is the Campus Shop which tutr‘ned , up a profit of ten thousand dollars, without which the Federation would have-run into the red. -

Ford describes himself as an “internationalist:’ on foreign policy, meaning he favors a strong US presence in the world.

’ The Child I - , as Niggek

Every person is oppressed to some degree under the present system. Since the only acceptable reaction to this fact is to oppress others and since one’s position is defined in terms of power (how many people can one ijppress), society is constantly creating classes of full-time vi$tims-i.e. children. From this raw material, the culture via the family and the school proceeds to make a product acceptable to itself by reinforcing behaviour it desires and extinguishing others, by making some natural and social stimuli into discrimisative ones and ignoring others.

The formative influence of one’s family far outweigh those.of one’s school. The nuclear family * represents a form of ownership where mutual obligation and possession dominate. The young

_ person is imbued with feelings of self rejection, defensiveness and isolation. The person learns to direct the frustration coming from her/his perception of inadequacy and dependency into the socially approved outlets: She/he is tairght who to hate, who to attadk, and how to use aggression in striving for success. The most pleasurable activities become interwoven with negative emotions and she

.he be;omes conditionned by an early age to expect negative after effects from exploration and sensuality. Normal curiosity and self expression is repressed and warped into the far reaches of the mind.

,- Neuroses and conformity a’re the end products of,authoritarian adults and an authoritarian system. Those under a certain age are called children and certain adults claim -to own them (parents from the latin parere- sources). These young people are patronized, terrorized, and possessed by those who claim to be responsible for having created them. They gre ,forced to obey without question and to respect and fear their superiors (anyone older than th’ey). They are denied

the right to speak, to move,’ to think in any way which is their own ; .they are forced to conform. Corporal punishment persists as, a control measure in the school and the family yet it is obviously incompatible with any view of the young person as a fellow human

(.-being. These young people are without all the basic rights of any average citizen, they are virtually slaves.

For those who dare to revolt (rriainly teenagers), the system is well prepared. Often the adqlescent unconsciously acts out that which her/his parents. feel but dare not express; she/he reflects the negative environment in which she/ he ‘is raised. However, most adults ha’ve taken as unwritten law the natural dependency of childreli and the sanctity of parental rule. The juvenile courts exist td insure s&h normative behaviour in its youth. The local authorities in relation, to any particular ch’ild have the power to act in -any manner they deem necessary to insure her/his proper develop- ment’and to further her/his best interests. Public welfare and mores are always placed before that of the individual young person (the child is too young to have any sense of what her/his - own needs are) and thus the courts prevent ‘premature’ in- dependence and enforce Irad it iona I sex role stereotypes.

adults concerned act in a con- descending, and self-righteous manner.

It is a fact that those people who are not considered adults are denied even the most elemenary control over their own lives. Attendance at school is com- pulsory and ‘up until the age of sixteen truancy, an offense riot

, criminal if committed by an adult, is punishable by law in any manner the courts deem- ap- ’ propriate. The conditions within the existing educational systems are known to be appalling. The ’ young people’ are graded, classified, and streamlined ac- cording to a success/failure

prison, and that their teachers themselves-could not and would not tolerate. . ” (John Hdt, ’ Children’s Rights, p.50). Those who survive the thirteen years df virtual imprisonrhent usually are so numbed and alienated from themselves that it is extremely difficult (if not impossible) to unlearn the conditioning and thus the system has succeeded in -perpetuating itself.

The next big thrust for freedom is gradually surfacing. Ctiildren’s liberation exists and mat-$ are flocking to its standard. Young people are examining themselves and the system, and are begin- ning to take the necessary Steps -

themselves and are aware that as an organized group their strength is formidabd_el Up to the present day, revolutionary ideologies have been too authoritrarian, too patriarchal, too abstract to materialize successfully. Until the conditions faced by young people are recornized as inhuman and unnecessary, there will be, no , “revolution”. As long as this basic oppression is allowed to stand, . the liberation of other minority groups is impossible. The youth movement is inev.itable; hopefully so is the md of adult chauvinSsm.

explanation for any of these events in the barrage of ‘educational’ advertisements the oil industry has been aiming our way,

-and for a very good reason-it’s not in their interest to tell you.

“Nobody really wants to buy gasoline. It is not a satisfying pleasure like a good meal, or a happy extravagence like a new hat.” That was how Fortune magazine summed up the oil compnaies’ major difficulty in peddling the stuff back in 1969. Then the problems were different.

_ Gas was cheap . and plentiful and customers were lured with glassw,are giveaways, green stamps, and miraculous additives. Service stations were designed to look like country clubs, - suburban homes,even Chinese temples. And for a time the carnival atmosphere, combined with the vague promises of better per- formance, worked.

At the same time it advertised TCP, Shell had quietly licenced 13 competing oil refineries to use the very same additive. Other brands used a slightly different additive, but it&-accomplished the same thing. One major oil company jocularly summed -up the various claims by ad- vertising that “In every gallon of our gasoline, you get-four quarts”. But the advertising stategy was effective. From 1960 to 1969 Shell, with its TCP promotion, climbed from sixth to second place in gasoline sales. Curiously,’ a 1972. survey for-the Centre for Science in the Public Interest showed that while 64

-percent of TV viewers interviewed did not believe gasoline advertisements, 51 percent did prefer a particular brand of gasoline and thought it worked better than other brands..,

The oil companies did not mind keeping the profit margins of their marketing

. divisions low while throwing money away on extravagent campaigns to win customer loyalty. For the big money in the vertically integrated oil business was “upstream” in oil drilling. The oil depletion allowance and other tax breaks kept profits on that end of the business

While oil companies’ profits soar, so do their retail prices. Few people have managed to stay out of the price increases, all of us are feeling the pinch_either through higher gasoline prices or higher heating bills. In company advertisements and publicity the oil producers have excused their increased prices by claiming , increased costs,

The public has no opportunity to question their explanations nor the background knowledge necessary to understand the processes and actions of the companies. The corporations do not

- explain themselves-it is not in their self- interest to do so. They have the public where they want them, uninformed and needing oil. -

Tom Zeman, writing in the July Ramparts, attempted to* clear up some of the mystery surrounding oil refining and purchasing gasoline. An edited version of (

. that article is reprinted here.

North Americans spend hundreds of dollars a year on gasoline, but very few people know what they are buying. You don’t taste it or touch it, and you rarely see it. -Do you know, for instance, what colour gasoline is? It’s naturally clear, but is dyed red, blue or amber to warn people of its toxicity (like the odor added to natural gas). “Gasoline stands at a technological distance from -the con- sumer” , explains Dr. Albert Fritsch of the Centre for Science in the Public Interest.

As a result, according to a 1972 survey, over half of all gasoline consumers overbuy gasoline. Americans waste $2 billion a year for a higher grade of gasoline that their car actually needs. Now more than ever, it isimportant for the consumer to know_ what gasoline and gasoline marketing is about, for today’s astonomical prices are just part of .a marketing revolution that is changing where and how you tank up your automobile. .

And for the first time..in 40 years, the composition of gasoline is undergoing an important change. You won’t find the __

virtually tax free. The name of the game was to retail at low profit and high volume. in order to drill more:

To that end, oil companies maintained expensive- credit card systems to keep their name in the consumer’s wallet while they vastly overbuilt gas stations to keep their name in the public eye. They even sold gasoline to their competitors, the independent retailers;lto insure a greater ’ volume of drilling and to keep refineries running at full capacity. That was, as one gas station trade magazine wistfully remembered, “the golden age of sales promotion”. But now there are no more

/green stamps and glassware. And the signs which once boasted the lowest gasoline prices around are blank.

Why the change in policy? Simply, the carnival-like promotions stopped working.

People began buying cheaper gasoline and, by 1972, non-major branded gasoline sales had captured a quarter of the retail market and were gaining rapidly. Even large department store chains such as Sears, Montgomery Ward and J.C. Penney started selling their own brands of gasoline at many of their outlets. One Exxon vice-president, amazed at the sudden growth of self-service stations, commented, “No one in this country would believe that an American woman would get out and put gasoline in her car.”

In the short run, the oil ‘shortage’ has proved very handy to the majors in their retailing jam. The buyer’s market in gasoline suddenly became a seller’s market, The major ,refineries no longer needed -to sell their excess to the in-

- dependent marketers. And whatever

competition did exist among the majors - came to a halt when all the oil companies were able to sell out their gasoline with no --.. difficulty. In a few short months, retail prices 1 doubled. Oil company ad- vertisements stopped touting gasoline additives and started apologizing for their obscene profits. Around.10 percent of the independent retailers were forced to close for lack of gasoline.

So it looks like the days when you could trust your car to the man who wears the star are over. And we’d better find out what we’re getting. before we start in- vesting $10 to $20 to tank up our cars. Oil companies. have done their best to make the whole business sound confusing. They spend a lot of time telling you about things that don’t matter (like additives) and no time explaining the one thing that does (octane). Unfortunately, federal regulations have so far made matters worse rather than better, but the gasoline story is acutally a very simple one, and well worth your while. The following step- by-step discussion of what makes a _ I gasoline good or bad for your car, and how you can tell, will not only save you money. It will also make you feel less like a victim of what Exxon wants you to know.

REFINING: Refining processes are much the same from company to company, and oil companies swap oil both before and after it is refined. There are few variations in the way gasoline is blended. Some are seasonal and climatological, required of all oil companies; and slightly different * blends from one company to the next might give you faster starts or slightly - better mileage. But the only way to find out is to try various brands in you own car - don’t go by advertisements. ADDITIVES-AND THE LIKE: There is a no reason to buy gasoline for the sake’of special additives like Platformate, F310 or TCP. As one petroleum engineer ex- plains it, if any one company does find a beneficial additive, other companies buy a sample of the competitor’s gasol’me, have . it analyzed, and then add a similar ingedient to its own product. Shells TCP, for instance, widely advertised in the Sixties, was just a phosphorous additive - . which helped keep spark plugs clean. But TCP has since been removed from gasoline because it fouls’up the catalytic converters which will be standard; equipment on many I new 1 autos. Plat-

’ * formate, also widely advertised by Shell, is not an a-dditive but a refining process, one of many developed over the last few years to get more high-octane gasoline from a barrel of oil. Chevron’s F-310 is a detergent additive. Gasolines have for some years included detergent as a de- icing agent. Because Chevron’s F-310 had more than most, it helped to keep car- burators clean. But, once again, most gasolines now use something similar.

More interesting are the lengths to which oil companies go to prove the superiority of their additives: Chevron

-used to run a television ad show*ing the car with F-310 haying a clean exhaust, and the car without it belching black smoke. y But in a Federal Trade Commission . hearing Chevron admitted that, in order to get a car running so dirty in the first place, a special gasoline, much gummier than any on the market, had to be in- vented. Next to the Chevron-developed “test” gasoline, other competing brands looked just as miraculously clean as did Chevron with F-310. KNOCKING: Using the wrong gasoline can- cause excessive engine knock (or ping). This has nothing to do with brand names or additives and is related only to the octane rating of your gasoline (see OCTANE below). While knocking can be a serious problem, it is not as serious as most people think-or as gasoline ad- vertising would have you believe. .

Knocking occurs when the gasoline and air mixture in the cylinders of the engine burns prematurely. If the mixture burns before the piston reaches the right point in its stroke, you will hear a distinct knocking (or pinging) sound, similar to

hammers rapidly tapping on metal. Continuous knocking over , long periods can severely damage your engine, but the slight sound you may mometarily hear when accelerating or climbing a steep hill is normal and harmless. ‘In fact, a slight, inaudible knock, called “trace knock” iS actually good for your car-it shakes

1 deposits off the piston heads. Over, two hundred hours of, continuous, intense knocking on a test engine were required before damage resulted. OCTANE NUMBERS: Octane numbers Drovide an index as to how well a gasoline prevents knocking. The octane rating system is useful to know and easy to understand, although the oil industry, the federal government, and even the auto industry have done their-best to make it obscure and confusing. The octane number is a rating on a scale of one to 100 of how well a particular gasoline prevented knocking under particular test conditions. An octane rating of 92, for example, does not mean that the gasoline is 92 percent pure, or that it has 92 of anything in it- it jtist means that it performed better than gasolines rated 91 or below and not as well as those rated 93 or above. An automobile engine needs a certain minimum octane to run properly, depending on the car. But gasoline with a higher octane rating than the minimum will not help your car, and can do some small harm.

Since selling high octane gasoline is more profitable than regular or economy grades, the industry is not anxious to ’ explain octane! In 1970, the Federal Trade Commission ruled that octane listings had to be listed on gasoline pumps, but the oil camnanies immediately took the FTC to

numbers less by the industry system than by the standard system. And it is the industry’s number that the government requires to be posted on gasoline pumps. So, for example, if your auto manual says your car will run on 91 research octane, use the gas pump labeled 87 octane.

Why the confusing second system? The oil industry-claims that its system is more accurate-, than the Research octane number, although Dr. Alfred Cattaneo of the University of California disagrees.

should buy the lowest grade gasoline you can get, providing it doesn’t cause heavy engine knock. Just about every car built since 1971 (including Cadillacs) will run well on economy grade fuel (the pump labelled 87 octane). The only cars requiring premium are highcompression cars built in‘the 1960s.

There’s an interesting story about how Americans came to identify high octane with better gasoline. The Ethyl Cor- poration, the principal manufacturer of

court, where the matter still stands. Since then, the Federal Energy Administration has issued its own rule requiring octane ratings on pumps, but its authority is temporary and not being .enforced. If posted at all, octane ratings on most’ g’asoline pumps are hardly legible and are sometimes hidden on the side of the pump.

To make matters worse .t+ere are two octane numbering systems: the Standard (“Research”) system and the oil industry systgm. Different testing conditions are used for each and, as a result, th& octane number for the same gasoline is about four

Cattaneo says that the Research number corresponds to the driving needs of American cars 98 percent, of the time, while the industry system measures octane requirements only for a car under extreme strain; In any case the ’ oil in- dustry benefits from the confusion. Since the industry’s system gives the same gasoline a lower number than the Research octane system, people are led to believe that regular and economy grades are not good enough and therefore are encouraged to overbuy.

the lead additive used to make high- octane gasoline, insisted that companies buying “ethyl” also had to improve their gasoline in other respects. These other improvements- faster starting and cleaner burning- had nothing to do with the lead itself, but people began to identify premium as a -better gasoline. A number of years ago, however, Ethyl’s requirements were ruled in restraint of trade, and now all grades of gasoline are

.clean and fast starting. But ethyl or premium is still considered higher quality, and oil companies encourage this myth by _ painting their pumps gold and giving them fancy names. - A NOTE ON LEAD: Lead additives &d gasoline account for 90 percent of lead emissions to the atmosphere, according to ’ ~ the Environmental Protection Agency. A quarter qf urban children tested have unacceptable blood-lead levels and some people believe living in high auto exhaust ares are showing signs of biochemical abnormalities that precede lead poisoning.

But lead is completely unnecessary to the manufacture’ of gasoline. In fact, Amoco has been making lead free gasoline for years. Starting in 1975, new cars with the required cataiytic converters must run on no-lead fuels. As of July 1st) about a third of all gasoline stations will be required to have at least one lead-free ’ pump*

But the E&.ronmental Protection -Agency program to remove lead from gasoline has been moving slowly, despite \ iIncreasing evidence of the danger of lead in the atmosphere. EPA’s original program to Sharply reduce lead emissions by 1977 has been deferred for two years, and plans to eventually remove lead from gasoline altogether have been dropped. , Government documents revealed by the Natural Regources Defense Council in Neti York show that the EPA’s rules were I weakened after heavy industry pressure was brought to bear ?n the tiPPA through other government agencies. For instance, a Commerce Department memo reveals that the Ethyl Corpgration was given an early draft of the proposed EPA, regulatiods before they were made public. Other memos indicated that the Com- merce Dep&tm+ opposed the regulations after consulting only with ~, representatives of the lead, oil and auto industries, with not one representative from consumer groups or academia.

Unfortunately oil companies have been charging about 2 cents more per gallon for unleaded gasoline than for leaded, although a gradual changeover to unleaded prodticts costs the oil companies at most only an extra fraction of a cent per gallon. Nevertheless, it is still a good idea t? start using lead-free gasoline. Besides helping to restore a healthy environment, you will save money (between 1% and 2 -cents\a gallon) on oil changes and filters if you use lead-free gasoline.

One test that the Ethyl company has been publicizing lately shows that, under conditions of severe stress, pre-1971 cars may be damaged from the use of lead-free gasoline. The valve seats in those cars are made of a softer metal that might sometimes require the lead in gasoline to harden them. But the tests are not con- clusive, and apply only to pre-1971 cars pulling extra heavy loads. Also, if until now you have been using leaded gasoline in your pre-1971 car, there is more than enough lead ingrained in the valve seats for you to safely use unleaded gas for the rest of your car’s life.

And that in a &&hell is the story of gasoline. A former official of Standard Oil of California recently revealed that it cost an oil company about 12 cents a gallon to recover oil, transport it, and make it into gasoline (including the much’ advertised cost of new investment), but the oil

’ companies are charging 60 cents or more I per gallon. Quite a markup, even when

ybu take into accdunt gasoline taxes and dealer profit. If we’re going to have to pay outlandish prices, we, may as well know what we’re paying for.

TYPING *\

Efficient typing of essays in by Wed-

the play itself would serve little purpose here.

It -is the method and context of the presentation that the play loses what impact it might have had. The players deliver their lines with vigour from the aisles in the theatre but the audience and their minds remain seated, their in- volvement only an intellectual one. Only at the sight of the French- Canadian eating with his fingers do they become visibly emotionally moved, moved from being removed.

Even in its relevancy, its appeal to the conscience, can be drowned out in the years that have passed since 1881. Sitting Bull is dead and people fail to make the connection that the forces that murdered him are still very much alive. The forces have changed and wi!l change, they change in pace with people’s con- sciousnesses in order to contain them. Brute violence is still the backbone of the State but this fact is being hidden by ever-thickening layers of liberal hegemony and

-bureaucracy. In Canada, the’ violence is hidden by an image of

4 benevolence but a benevolence that can also be lethal as Sitting Bull .discovered. \With friends like the Canadian government he didn’t{ need any enemies. ’

But imperialism in all, of its forms was and still is being fought. At this moment, the spiritual ancestors of Sitting Bull are struggling to reclaim some _ land that was defauded from them at a park near Kenora. This review is dedicated to them. ’

Come and

while- they last Hidden in the myriad of halls

and tunnels at the university are a number of services and resources provided free to the Student. To use these gifts all that is required is to be a human being or a student at the university belonging to a certain faculty. Different faculties offer special

-- services to those enrolled in it but it is-quite possible, say; to get into the architecture darkroom if you . have a responsi‘ble friend in ar- chitecture or environmental. studies. Most buildings on campus contain services for the student, that, usually< for lack of in- formation, go unused. The most flagrant examples of this are the camrjus centre and student services.

The campus centre, aptly enough, is in’ the centre of tile campus, across the creek from health services (that -white building ,floating in the pond). InSide the campuscentre are the federation offices, . the. &chevron, the birth control centre, para-legal aid, a barbershop, bank, the record co-op, a campus store, the post office, the pub (closed until October for renovations), the cafeteria, the games room (hopefully soon to be opened) and the gay lib, .carribean students Chinese students -and In- ternational Students Association offices. Recently added to the campus cent re services and operational in t’he -fall is the Chinese Student’s library in the lower mall and the world room on the top level bf the building.

Naturally,, as in any place where people congregate, there are washroom - facilities and - food machines.

The federation offices are located on the top level of the building and can be reached by entering the north-east door. of the campus centre and turning right up the flight ‘of st,airs. The number of federation “freebies” are going down, due to things like higher salaries for fed members and general inflation but there are still a few services left that are gratis. For a_ 5 dollar deposit and one ID card you can choose a numb&- of record albums from the feds and borrow them ‘for a day. Legal difficulties can .be sorted out by going to see Peter Yates in the Fed office. That seems to be all the free things that your government offers you. Just in case there may be more, go visit them and ask what you really do get for your federation membership. @

The chevron offices are located in the campus centre’ j&t uri- dernea t h the federation off ices. The offices - contain a darkroom and lounging area where one may browse through copies of various niagazines . . and university publications. The darkroom may be used by speaking with the photo co-ordinator of the paper. Users must provide their own chemicals and paper. No need to mention that you can work and write for the paper for free.

The birth control centre is opposite the campus centre board

office on the top level of the campus centre. In it you can ob- - @in counselling on birth control and sexuality together with being able to browse through their many publications and books on the same. The centre is generally open

‘-during the day five days a week and can be reached by phone ext. 3446. During the year members of the birth control centre also put on various presentations and discussions which are usually free of charge.

swer questions that students m.ay area. Menibers are there to an-

have on sexuality. A library--of books dealing dh humansexuality exists for anyone that is interested in exploring their own sexuality.

The Carribean, Chinese and International students all have their offices in the same area as gay lib. These organizations provide fellowship and iE formation to foreign studynts and students of different cultures. Informal pubs are held by the International studknts -and in- fortihtion ‘-on them can be ob- tained by phoning ext. 2372.

Para-legal aid consists of a group of’students who are intept on providing fellow students with information on how they can get out of legal hassles. They do not give legalidvice per se, but act as a forwarding agent, sending the student to the legal-authority or information source that can help them. They have not established hours for the fall but can be’ reached by going to the turnkey desk in the campus centre.

The Gay Liberation Movement -has an off ice on the second story of the campus centre over the pub

Recent additions to the campus centre are the Chinese students Association library (in the lower mall) and the World Room. The Chinese Students Library is open to students who desire to read books in Chinese. It is an excellent service for there are many students on campus from China whb have a rather difficult time finding ‘books in their native tongue.

‘The World Room is a project being undertaken by the com- bined efforts of most of the in- ternational students a$sociations. It is hoped that it will be a meeting place for all students. Foreign

“students can meet and converse with students from their own and neighbouring countries. It is also hoped that students who are

-hoping to travel abroad can meet -students in the World Room from the countries that they hope to visit and learn some of the customs and idiosyncracies of the different cultures that they will be coming into contact with on their travels.

The campus centre L board controls the use of the rest of the rooms in the campus centre through the work of the turnkeys. All the facilities under the jurisdiction of the board are provided to the students free of charge (actually you must leave your ID card at that desk to-use the facilities). The turnkey office handles information on the university, comin,l events, referrals, the student directory, arid services avai.!&ie to the students. There are three lounges in the building that can be used for meeting’s of up ,to 65 people. They can be reserved by going/to the turnkey desk and asking if you can book a room. The ping pang room, piano, TV and stereo robms can all be booked by signing up

for them by the desk an! leaving your ID card- with the turnkeys. Cards, games, magazines, coffee and change-are also available a‘t

-the turnkey desk. Every term for a finite length of time free movies are shown in the great hall. They are sponsored by the campus centre board and chosen by the turnkeys. Forums and dramatic productions also add to the four- walled stillness of the great ha!.

The Student Services building (also known as I‘ra J. Needles) contains offices that are -aimed. primarily at th,e student. Coun- selling services located on the second floor of Studenf Services, is open five days a week from 9 tc; 5. Programs at-e run which include personal and sofiaI counselling and different groups in ge&lt anti other forms of awareness. -Ap- titude testing for various jobs and vocatibns is also provided.

On the bottom floor of the Student Services are three departments that are fairly im- portant to most students. The Career lnformatioti Centre exist:;

-to aid the student in her his personal development and career planning. Information on drugs, sexuality, marriage and just about anything are provided along with CUSO, the Company for. Young Canadians and government and industrial jobs. The* Co-ordination department exists in order to provide students on co-op terms with jobs. Sometimes one wonders if it exists instead to pr.ovid@ employers with student workers. The offices of this department interview students before their work terms for jobs with a fairly extensive number of employers. This service is not free, the co-op students pay for it out of their fees. The Career Planning and Placement centre provides literature from employers along with other career information for members of the university community who are interested in finding career alternatives.

_ Graduating students can register at the beginning of their final year in order to obtain interviews with prospective employers. Some public ‘service examinations> and graduate study admission tests are also given for areas such as the public‘ services,.and 18~ and medical school. Also located on the lower floor of the building% the housing office where you’ can search through many lists in order to find a place to live. Three free phones are also provided so you can “let your fingers do the ,waIking”. The Chaplain’s office is also on this floor. A list of ministers for various faiths and denominations is kept in the of- - fice..

On-campus mail (mail to profs or university residents or per- sonnel) can be sent free of charge by placing the person’s name, department. or address on the envelope and placing it in the mail basket in the federation office.

Last but not least is the fact that there is a print room in engineering four with a dry mounting press and various trays and sinks which can be used if they can be found in the recesses of the third floor. There is also an

-automotive shop in one of the engineering buildings that students can use free of charge.

There are most cerIainly more free services on campus but they have yet to be found and recorded. If you run across any services of interest to the general student body contact the chevron. Happy hunting!

Friday, august 16, 1974 ’ the chevron lY

Over the years, sports magaii’nes have ’ captured a f@r share of the INorth Amer-ican. newsmarket. invariably these publications write about individuals or te,ams that their readership is’ supposed to either admi’re or despise, depending, of, co&e, on the - readership’s particular

-bent. Focussing on professignal sports, by far tHe most lucrative and popular,. these magazines end up talking to men about men’s sports. -

Occasionally a \;vrit& will venture to ’ Feature a ’ well-known woman athlete,

us’ually devoting tior;e space space to her personal life and looks than her

- achievements in the world $ sports. Writers and read&s, it seems, are more interested’% how she manages to fit sports into the busy life of ‘wife apd mother’. These sorts of questions are not ’ topicsof discussion when the same writer or the same magazine teatures a male athlete. - .

Obviously these magazines are ignoring half of the North American pQpulation: women. Granted,.for 3 long time women have not been involved in any major or professional sports, save the international competitions. But *as that situation changed, with more and more-women playing in publicized sports and making headlines;the need arose for coverage of women athletes. It was not being har$led- at all by the established media- television, radio, or newspaper sports coverage all but ignored any women’s sports event- .

The situation,. for the tiine being, has now been remedied. A well-known woman

I athlete, Billie Jean King, and some eager adyertisers brdught out a new magazine, to the North American market during this past summer. Never far-behind any new trend, advertisers took note of the recent develop;ments of women’s liberation a’nd of the numbers of women becoming ac- tively involved in sports and decided that they needed to rea&h this pai+ket. bavid Foster, president of Colgate explains fhat since women make m-ost of the purchases

* in any family, it is only logical to haye well- known ‘women advertise produc&-in a magazine that women’ are tieading: Ad- vertisers had previously been reaching only h&bands and children-not the big spenders.

Jean King articles. ’ Fortunately, womenSports recovered quickly and in July produced -an 88 ‘page - refulgent magazine to rival any othet-and they actually_ did talk about women in sp0r.t. King signed -only one article, the publisher’s letter, and endorsed only one product. In the letter King admitted that even she was “a little embarrassed by the number of advertisements io the first issue of womehSports that wer;e for products that I en.dorse.”

‘From there King goes on to.revea/; what may well be ttie- t philosophy behind womenSports. ‘She ( t tie editor&-Rosa lie Wright) feels strongly about presenting not only interesting st.ories, but getting divergent points of view. So you won’t be getting the King party,Iine, except here in the Publisher’s Letterland in any other stories I might write). . hopefully out of the mix and healttjy discussions will come a magziri*youI magazine-that is superior to all others on the market.”

WomenSports, then, is. interested in / produ@g well-written articles /-about

women playing sports, but there any connection between the article,s ends. There is no linking political. ph’ilosophy behind t.he stdries that make it onto the pages of the magazine-and4he result is-a collecfion of admittedly well-written, but rather confusing articles about women in sport.This is most likely the result of an attempt to appeal to the majority of North American women. There is something in womensports for everyone-no matter

\ what their politics-are. The only problem is finding the article among all the others. If King can convince peTpIe that the searching is worth it then she will have little trouble marketing her product, so far womensports is one of a kind. ’

The July ‘issue featured a persdnality- profile type article on Mary &con, one of two top’ female joekeys in the United States. The story starts off tamely er-iough &th author Charlotte White’ listing Bacon’s various ac’hievements: Bacon i$ drily 2-O years old;-*has h,ad two children,

- been married once, quit school in the sixth grade, has spent time in reform schools, was born-of migrant farmworker parents,- and has been riding since slie was six. She also made it into Playboy magazine.

It would be extremely cynic;il, and most ‘likely untrue to contenb that this was, the only reasor] for the publishing’of the new sports magazin+womefiSports. In the, Publisher’s Letter of the second issue (July) King; explains how she wants womensports to be “a vehicle for all women to use in communicating the joys and frustrations of being involved in sports.” She clearly sees the magazine as the only way women, and Janyoneielse for that matter, can be informed of women’s

‘activities and breakthroughs in ttie world of sports. King acknowledges the fact that the other media just are not doing-their job. ’

. The first issire of * womenS@orts ap- peared on the news-stands in June. It was a poor’ cross between Ms. and Sports Illustrated with page after page of Billie Jean King endorsed products a’nd Billie j This all certainly remarkable, but also quite plausible. However, ’ half way through the -interviewing -process White

.gets suspicious after reading some other accounts of Bacon’s “life. Hereup‘ijn the previously boring and traditional I in- terview bega-n to get interesting. White ’ discovers, through sdme investigative rep’orting,Rhat Bacon iIs, in fact, 26 years

~ old, ,the’ daughter of a quite respectable family, a graduate from high school, and that she learned tb ride while her faniiiy was a member of a rather “elite riding club”. i White’s discovery chatiged a regular profile article into a piece that wasen- jo’jlable a’nd enl.ightening to read. This sort of writing and reporting skill sufaced in the July ,issue of womensports in several places, and made the magazip i success.

Another treasure,bf that issue is an accciunt by Greg Hoffman of his childhood experiences with an Iathletic nun. This short piece -holds no - hidden moral

-message-it is just plain funny. It is wjth type of article that womensports does the best. The remainder, articles that- by the nature of what they-are covering have to take some sort of stand on wonien in sport or sport in general, are a less rewarding group-and much more confusing.

The first noticable contradiction ap- pears within the first few. pages. womensports editorializes against

‘cosmetics and their promotion in a sh~ort

\ piece again featui-ing diary Bacon. Ap- parently she posed fir a’cosmetitis firm’s . promotional material. Womer+po~rts terms the company ‘rouge-runners’ and ‘ppw@r peopie’; their message is a little , clumsy but certainly they seem to look _I. I down 0~ such enterprises.

After’ appearing to- come out agaihst \ cosmetics and the op‘pression they , repre&t, womenSports does an about face and emphasizes the various ‘beauty’ - pageants some sports women have won and how they managed to “keep their looks up” even’while playivg sports. The first blow comes during an account of how

,

a woman; basketball player got onto a , man’s team, an interesting-enough event. The acdount, unfortunately, was written Lby the woman in questiofi-also “,viss ’ San Bernardino”:

$he explains how “somehow, I managed -: to keep on going even though I felt worn out. I kept my grades-up, kept my health ’ up and kept my looks up for the beauty pageant. . . My first practice was qyite an I experience. l\was about three or four minuIes late because I had gone horr;le and washed my hair. After all, I couldn’t go to my first practice with dirty hair.”

At the end of this story womensports includes an ‘editor’s note’ explaining how

-the author was Miss Rialto bf- 1972 and _ holds the Miss San Berngrdino Universe title to;- this year. Apparently these statistics are vital informatiqn for the

.readership, s+ Qf the \ woman’s credentials. It is this sort of attit,ude that men’s sports magazines have held for _ women for so long-and \ that now woqnensports has. the chance to ignore or , undo. ,

That was not the end of I,queens’ either.,, In a feature article about’ women’s highschool - basketball, author Judy Klemesrud makes Ihe following points: “Although some people might think this athletic parity could &sult in making Amazons out bf girls and basketweavers out ot boys, no s,uch thing has happened. , In fact, the ,girl barketball, playerg are o#en the most popular j girls in their schools.-bmong -the players at the tour- nament, * for example, were five‘ homecoming qceens;\a teen queen, a horse show.queen, a”nd a Future Framers of qmerica sweetheart.” .

Hopefully the- days will come to an end when a girl’s poularity’and credibility is measured in the number of titles she has won through her appearance.

The contradiction5 did not end with the queens. In a , feature entitled “Why _ I Wpinen Lose” authors Thomas Boslooper __ and Marcia Hayes call women to t.he fight :’ “if- wo’men are ever to get to the point where they can do something, really do something to change their .lives and . Society, they will have leari to win and’win . ’ Y big. -Not in imitation of men, but in full realization of themselves.” Bosloop2r and *’ Hayes make a pretty strong call ‘for ‘healthy’ competition and co-ed spo<ts.

-In ‘a short editorializing piece under the / heading “Last Word”, Glenn Dickey, and - womenSport$ call for a re-examination. of the American Little League becabse it \ breeds- unhealthy competition. “They _ (girls) have been damn lucky to have - tieen,, excluded from these programs, which have overemphasized winning, distorted the values of sports and. generally produced more damage to the l male psyche than anybody cares to -ad- mit.”

Perhaps these distinctions are minor, and perhaps the editors of women- . SportSboth articles are trying to say the . . satie thing.But that doesnot come across in the presentation. ’

Nevertheless, in tallying and rqting the, articles of the July issue, the ‘goods’ are l way ahead of the ‘bads’. womenSports is addcessihg the -majority of North : ’ American women, in the style to which 4 they are accustomed: It ‘presents news j that does not-reach the regular media- 1 news about women joining men’s teams, ‘I news about women winning and corn- I’ peting. It is ‘done in the usual glossy : manner as all the other “best: selling” 1 magazines, whjch shows that the ad- j ! vertisers ai-e clearly interested in ad- 1 dressing their new inarket. With the odds ; the way they are, womenSpot would \ have to try very hard not to win; i

I I Director’s message # ’ The pursuit of a University education involves much more tnan formal attenuanct: al a series of

lectures and seminars. Much of the learning process is tied in with the many new experiences a student has in endeavours and interests outside the classroom.

One of these “other” areas of interest may be in our athletic program. Understandably, an active personal involvement in some of the more vigorous aspects of our athletic programme may not be possible for all. But we hope the possibility of recreational fun or the relaxed enjoyment of a spectator’s role may permit a meaningful contribution to all of us in the campus community.

~

Three general areas of attention are definable in our University athletic ,programme-the highly competitive intercollegiate programme, the less demanding intramural programme and the still more casual “recreational-instructional” programme. While there is a considerable overlap of aims and objectives in these three areas, it is our intention that all be promoted with vigor and enthusiasm in order to assure that each may find a milieu in which the desire for activity and physical experiences may be satisfied..

We welcome your involvement. Carl Totzke

’ For students who enjoy par- . ticipating in good athletic com-

petition, other than on the in- tercollegia te level, an extensive intramural programme has been developed at ithe University of Waterloo. Over thirty-five ac- tivities are offered on a scheduled or tournament basis and the competition is. on a fairly high level.

In men’s intramural athletics, the student body is divided into twenty units competing in four leagues. In an effort to get greater participation from the freshmen, a league has been set up to cater, exclusively to freshmen, enrolled

- in Arts, Engineering and Mathematics. These three tir:l; 3 will compete, along with G. - tometry and Enviromental Studies, - in Division II of the Faculty League:

The men’s intramural, teams compete for two trophies; the K.D. Fryer Trophy, offered annually to the unit amassing the greatest

Intramural Sessions : The athletic department organizes instructional courses in basic athletic activities. The purpose of this programme (often referred to as the service programme) is to stimulate interest and develop attitudes and skills in activities

that, may be carried on throughout one’s life-time.

It is hoped that as the student’s proficiency increases, his general physical fitness will be improved and the student , will be able to enjoy a fuller, healthier life. A complete list of planned activities is available in the Athletic Department Office.

On-Campus publicity for in- tramural, recreational and in- struction activities is ’ ac- complished by means of blue posters (for men) and pink posters (for women). Periodic newspapers, in the same colours are published throughout the year. These newspapers summarize the activities that have taken place and offer publicity for upcoming events.

For further information on any of the athletic activities carried on at the University of Waterloo, please contact the athletic department office in the physical activities complex.

Fun woarams I w -

Intramurals : the active fun program.

What is it? Most people think of intramurals as petitive” leagues,

highly “com- tournaments

and the like. At Waterloo, the competitive aspect of intramurals is one quarter of the program, with recreational, instructional and

.

athletic club,programs making up the other seventy-five per cent.

At Waterloo, intramurals means “a voluntary internal program of physical activity based on the needs and interests of the par- ticipants”.

Objectively, it is a safe, fun and varied program which aspires to: 1. permit an individual to make effective use of his leisure time.

.2. enable an individual to learn a particular activity. 3. encourage an individual to enhance his level of personal health and fitness. 4. provide an individual the op- portunity to participate in ac- tivities that may carry-over into later life. 5. provide an opportunity for an individual to develop and demonstrate his administrative and organizational abilities. 6. provide an opportunity for an individual ( to demonstrate and, develop attitudes for leadership and sportsmanship.

‘7. encourage social interaction. _ 8. enable an individual to un- derstand and appreciate the values inherent in physical ac- tivity . 9. encourage an individual to be an active participant in the physical activity which best serves his needs and interests.

It ’ is integral belief in In- tramurals that the more students you involve in the decision making process of the program, the..better the program. There are many ways in which students can make their program more meaningful.

MIAC / WIAC-the Intramural Advisorf Councils (men and women) are the backbone of the program. They are comprised of 15-24 students each representing a particular body of students, either by place of. residence or faculty. They meet regularly to maintain the good order and conduct of the program.

The unit structures are ?S

follows: ’ ON CAMPUS LE’AGUES St. Jeromes, Conrad Grebel, St. Pauls, Renison, Village 1 North,

I

Village 1 East, Village 1 West, , Village 1 South, Village 2 North, Village 2 East, Villlage 2 West, Village 2 South. \ OFF CAMPUS LEAGUES

.

Upper Eng (III & IV), Co-op Math, Arts, Optometry, Kinesiology, Recreation, Co-op Residence, Grads, Regular Math, Em. Studies, Science, Lower Eng (I & II).

: Unit Representatives : Each unit has a student who is responsible for informing their group about the program. Also they represent that group, on council to voice their opinions as to the worth of it. Their combined voices determine the policy and effectiveness of the Intramural program.

Student Assistants : Six student assistants are hired to assist -the Director in the organization *and administration of the program. Their areas are Publicity, Aquatics,. Recreational team sports, Trainor, Fitness and Tournaments.

Convenors, officials, Referee-in- Chiefs, Lifeguards, Instructors, Club executives: Last year over 530 students were hired in the program in the above areas. Not only does this enable students to gain some practical knowledge but it helps them financially. THE PROGRAM

, .

Competitive: Each term lo-15 activities are offered on a com- petitive level. They compete for an overall high point trophy called the Fryer Trophy. The unit that has the highest number of participants wins the Townson Award each term. If you are interested in competitive please refer to the program outline.

Recreational : This program has three aspects to it. a ) individual b) team c) free.

Free Time: This means that certain athletic facilities are open on a first come, first serve basis. Activities such as skating, swimming, badminton, jogging, volleyball and weight training, or others, may be played when the facilities are not booked. Please check the weekly gym schedule posted in the PAC for ,available free gym time. Scheduled events, take precendence. Your own personal equipment is advised. ’ Individual Recreational Ac- tivities: Many facilities have been booked for the individual. Such sports as swimming, tennis and squash fall into this program.

Recreational Team Sports : These are unique in that there are no officials, points or awards for winning. The emphasis is on fun for fun’s sake. Standings are not kept but a fun tournament is held at the conclusion of the program where possible in which any team can enter.

Instruction : This fast growing level of the program is geared to beginners. By teaching people the fundamentals of individual carry- over types of activity <e.g. golf), they will feel more comfortable participating in it at another level. Instruction, is offered two ways, through the Athletic Club program such as sailing, or separately like, swimming or squash.

Athletic Club: Eleven Clubs offer the students a wide variety of activity. Each Club has a com- petitive, recreation,’ instructional and social aspect. -

For specific program details, refer to IM News Outline.
