In the data centre

OCCUPATION CONTINUESThe occupation of the com puter

centre has entered its th ird day to ­day as the adm inistration refuses to give serious consideration to oc­cupying studen ts dem ands.

Over 200 studen ts are staying p u t behind tightly guarded doors of the centre determ ined to rem ain there u n til five dem ands are m et by the adm inistration. G uards m an the doors allowing only dedicated supporters to come and go. The press is per­m itted en try only when releases are d istribu ted and a no-visitors-to-the- sideshow ruling is enforced. Group m orale is extrem ely good.

Opponents of the action are allowed to speak their m ind and occupying s tuden ts have freely discussed their position w ith interested parties.

Over 500 white students have sign­ed a sta tem en t supporting all five dem ands of the black students.

The five dem ands include:A public rejection of the hearing

com mitteeA m eeting betw een a ll parties

to lay the ground rules for a new, reconstituted committee

An atm osphere free from all threats of reprisal and punitive action

Due consideration for the aca­dem ic status of b lacks who have lost study time organizing the pro­test

A d ism issa l of the civ il and cri­m inal charges facing three black students.

Organizers stress the occupation has set a new direction for the mo­vem ent. Black-white un ity and an

an ti-adm in istration position has been em phasized. The realization of ju s ­tice has become the issue and m em ­bers of the university com m unity are taking positions on th a t basis, irregardless of colour.

The occupiers are fairly evenly d istribu ted on racial lines. There are white m en and women sitting in throughout the centre, in full support of the action.

Late W ednesday night, P a t Pajonas, a lecturer in sociology, resigned from the faculty saying she could not, in good conscience, “ally m y­self with an institu tion whose adm i­n istration has perpetuated , through ineptitude and secrecy such in jus­tices which have occurred.”

She cited the legal actions taken against the three backs and the il­legitim acy of the hearings as the m ajor injustices. She also charges the adm inistration w ith m aking de­cisions on the basis of “fear, igno­rance and self-interest” .

L’Union Generale des E tu d ian ts du Quebec also came out in support of the students W ednesday night and dem anded the charges be dropped and the com m ittee reformed.

T h a t support was more th an the S tudents Legislative Council was wil­ling to provide.

The executive com m ittee of the studen t council announced Thursday th a t i t was sending food to the occu­pation because, after all, the occu­piers were “hum an beings” , b u t re­fused to endorse or condem n the action. M em bers of the S.L.C. are

reported to be extrem ely unhappy with the actions of the executive committee.

Council has suggested the com m it­tee be dissolved and replaced by a three-m an arb itra tion board (com­posed of retired justices and queen’s counsels). Each side would choose one representative and the third would be selected by both.

Though Norris Bldg. adm in istra­tive offices were open yesterday, V ice-Principal O’Brien and other ad ­m inistrators are still in seclusion in the Sheraton M ount Royal Hotel. Late W ednesday night, the hearing com m ittee announced th a t it was un ­willing to dissolve itself.

The executive com m ittee of the faculty association (SGWAUT) was in em ergency session last n ight while a petition circulated among faculty m em bers calling for the dissolution of the com m ittee and dism issal of the charges.

At least 15 staff m em bers have signed thus far.

S tudents a t the occupation site feel the crisis is coming soon.

The com puting centre is a vital

com ponent in the adm inistrative ap ­paratus. All paychecks go through the com puters, as do class lists, schedules and exams. The university pays $1,000.00 an hour to ren t the huge bank of m achines th a t have lain idle for over 24 hours. As well, the adm inistration contracts in for an enormous am ount of industrial com­puter work th a t has been halted since the occupation began.

The students have been careful with the m achines -- despite cartoons and slogans pasted up on the walls denouncing the depersonalization of the university thorough com puter re­lations. The m ain com puter area has been sealed off and the au tom atic tem perature regulators are being checked continuously to prevent any dam age to the delicate machinery.

The possibility of police action has been considered and occupying students have expressed a desire to avoid any type of situation th a t m ight result in possible dam age to com pu­ter equipm ent.

There has been no indication yet as to whether the adm inistration is planning to call the.police in.

Trag ica l ly enough, the execut ive c o m m i t t ee o f the S tu d e n ts ’ Legislative Counci l , has not even been able to do this with the aw e som e issue tha t has deve loped out of the Anderson affair.

Rarely has a s tudent gove rnm en t becom e so total ly dis­or iented and , in the eyes o f observers , i r re levant as the S.L .C . execut ive with their fumbling an d indecision.

The i r latest man ifes to indicates th a t a “ grea t deal of misunderstand ing, m is in fo rmat io n , di s to r t ion , and r u m o u r ” is floating abou t . There is misunders tand in g , m is in fo rm a ­tion, etc. a nd one of the basic responsibil i t ies of the s tudent governm ent is to c lear the confusion a nd provide s tudents with the oppor tu n i ty to evaluate the issue themselves. H o w ­ever, the execut ive has only induced self-confusion. Cer ta in m em bers o f the execut ive c o m m i t t ee a n d their ass is tants have been in cons tan t co m m u n ic a t io n with m em bers o f the faculty who have openly sided with the adm in is t ra t io n .

lettersEscape from Reason

Editor: the georgianL ast Tuesday I attended the 1 PM

meeting in H-110. I assum ed th a t the evidence (be it docum entary or eyewit­ness) would be presented substan tia ting the charges against Prof Anderson. W hat I saw was anything b u t persuasive. It was an “Escape from Reason.”

The m ethodology was fata lly erroneous in three item s, each of which every sin­cere historian, philosopher and lawyer seeks to seduously avoid.

(1) Evidence: No conclusive evidence was presented. The speakers relied upon ad hominem argum ents to em otionally sway the audience. One adm inistra tor was descibed as’a living fossil’. Another as ‘yellow’. No evidence was presented as to Prof. A nderson’s guilt. By evidence I understand exam s given, say, a t C hrist­m as where black students earned a B and received, le t us say, a D. (I am sure th a t exam s can be found.)

On Sunday (26) an open m eeting was held. I understand th a t all who had evi­dence were invited to be present. One of the Tuesday speakers sta ted th a t 6 studen ts did not testify a t the Sunday m eeting because it was ‘a kangaroo court’. By th is I understand th a t the m em bers had previously decided to find Prof Anderson innocent regardless of the evidence. Save for ‘unacceptab ility ’ no evidence was presented indicating unim partiality .

Now, let us assum e th a t the board was predujiced. W ith 600 (plus) s tuden ts in a ttendance, w hat should prevent anyone w ith proof from testifying? If Anderson was shown to be guilty the protagonists need not fear a verdit of innocence. The students would not allow it.

(2) The second unpardonable sin was argum ent from the a priori. On the one hand A nderson’s gu ilt w as spoken of as self evident. Then from th is plat- from accusations were hurled a t the ‘A dm inistra tion’. The Anderson affair was repeatedly declared to be no longer im portant. B u t please notice the subtle reasoning. First, i t was decided th a t Anderson was guilty. Then anyone not agreeing w ith the black students was under accusation. He was a racist. This cir­cular argum ent is infallible, IF we s ta rt

from assum ptions. B u t we m ust not! We m ust exam ine the evidence abou t Ander­son. We cannot conclude a priori who is guilty and who is not. We would then live in a nightm are.

There is one other point th a t should be m entioned here. M uch ‘evidence’ about certain professors was presented th a t sounded as if i t could have been out of context. In all fairness the profes­sors quoted should have been invited to explain their statem ents. Since when is a m an judged on selected evidence and not allowed to defend himself?

(3) The th ird po in t could possibly be a subheading for (2). I t is w hat we shall call (in psychological term s) associa­tion .

Through the a priori method black stu­dents were declared right and the ‘Ad­m inistration wrong. The nex t logical step, therefore, was to invite all those on the side of ‘T ru th ’ and ‘Justice’ to support the black cause. We are arguing in false syllogisms again! This time black cause T ru th . (O Justice, the name is my cause!) We have seen this argu­m en t before e.g. in white racism. I t is ju s t as fallible here.

Again we have to stop and examine the evidence. If we are sincere we cannot allow ourselves to beg the question. Not ‘W hat do m y em otions say? ‘b u t ‘W hat does the evidence say?’ Mr. O’Brien being ‘a living fossil’ does not make Prof Anderson guilty. (And conversely).

Nailing dem commiesEditor, the georgian;

I wish to address th is letter to the m ajority of studen ts on behalf of myself as an individual. I have tried to be as objective as possible in assesing the incidents in th is university during the p as t two weeks. I have been to all the m eetings held in H-110 and not once have I heard m ention th a t possibly the six black studen ts who failed the course in Prof. A nderson’s class last April actually did not know their work and did legiti­m ately fail the course. Also, is i t ju st possible th a t the black students actually do not have w ritten and absolute proof th a t Prof. Anderson is actually a racist and th a t the six black students th a t failed the course had w ithout doub t actually

Change in White American values will come though violence — Jones

K onrad Lorenz, in his work on aggression, has shown th a t nothing has changed m an’s fundam ental ins­tin c t of ru thless aggression. The function of aggression is not to kill, b u t to hum iliate one’s rival. Nothing is more likely to produce i t more quickly th an a situation in which peo­ple of d ifferent colours are fighting w ithin the same territory; for w hat each side believes to involve his righful en titlem en t and his security.

Serving the w hiteThis is the basis of Le Roi Jones’

two essays. I t is correlated with the p as t events of hum iliation, in ­sult and injury. After a historical review of racism from early devel­opm ent to the present day, he ex­pands on the im plications of Toke­nism and Non-Violence. He advo­cates th a t bo th are only serving the general philosophy for the W hite so­ciety. He is referring to the W hite liberals and the Black m iddle class, and stresses th a t both are serving the W hite society to prevent changes w ithin the present framework of the society. He him self advocates change and does no t see how th is change can come abou t w ithout changing the p re­sent social structure. He also ques­tions the value system of the Wes­tern W hite societies in general. Ho­wever, he is not able to offer any other solution, b u t th a t change is inevitable and violence cannot be

^ ^ a v o id e d .

In exam ining thfese two essays this writer would like to consider them in term s of the m ajor tasks of so­ciology, as set out by C.W. Mills. F irstly, w hat is the m eaning of this m aterial for our society and w hat is the social world like? Secondly, how does th is fit in to the historical trend of our tim es, and in w hat direction does th is m ain d rift seem to be car­rying us?

Age of adolescenceThe Negro today in the U.S. can

be compared w ith the age of adoles­cence, as set out in developm ental psychology. This age of adolescence is the search for self-identity in society. B u t one’s self-conception is one’s iden tity w ith regard to one’s location w ith reference to other peo­ple. Persons in society see them ­selves as they are perceived by o- thers. In the case of the Negro, the colour problem affected personality developm ent and created a negative concept of self. This negative con­cept of self emerges from social in­teraction and, in tim e, guides and influences the behavior of the ind i­vidual.

T his very essence of.negative self- concept is now forced to change by the Black intellectuals, those who did not sell their soul to the White devil. Le Roi Jones, in his essays, shows w hat th is social world is like. He points to the non-violence which is advocated by the W hite liberals

as being nothing b u t tokenism; it is to enable the W hites to re ta in the sta tu s quo. The confident optim ism of the W hite liberals does not work any longer. The problem of m u lti­racial societies inherited by world­wide exercise of W hite Power, cannot be forgotten by peaceful assim ilation and integration. The th rea t of a race war is not a m yth, b u t a cruel reality and we m ust face up to it. We, the W hites, are still, in spite of all these happenings, living in a dream world. The society is sick, there is a d i­sease created by us, and yet somehow we believe in a m iracle; th a t the pro­blem will go away. T his is. w hat our social world is like and his message is manifold.

Learn and UnlearnWe have a great task in front of

us. We have to learn, or to be more precise, we have to unlearn m any things. N ot only do we have to learn to deal w ith the irrational em otions abou t colour; b u t we have to unlearn w hat centuries of writers, scientists and governm ents inculcated into the form ation of W estern attitude . All th is has been done in justification of the W hite m an’s ‘righ t’ to dom inate the world.

Le Roi Jones’ essays are true be­cause they fit well w ith the historical trend of our times. He advocates change and equality of socio-economic resources. At the end of the Age of Im perialism we see the world as

being divided between rich W hite na­tions and alm ost entirely non-W hite poor nations. B u t the changes which have taken place are global: the rise of independence of the Third World in which the non-W hites emerged to p lay an active role a t the United N a­tions. In term s of M ills’ third ques­tion, the historical trend is towards abolition of differences. The U.S. is on the po in t of moving into a period of harsh repression of Blacks by W hites th a t could shake its political system to its very foundations. The message in Le Roi Jones’ essays is th a t the priorities will have to be based on other th an paradigm s of W estern m an’s supposedly liberal and to leran t attitudes. He calls for a rea­listic assessm ent of the roots of co­lour prejudice which has already poi­soned relations and sickened the Black soul.

The only solution to these problem s seems to be to awaken the American W hite society to feel th a t its econo­mic and security in terests are in serious jeopardy. This is the only hope th a t a radical change m ight take place.

There m ust be an early end to the Vietnam war and a vast com m it­m ent to public expenditure on the home front. Above all, the W hite Am erican m ust accept a voluntary assim ilation based on a new set of norm s or, as a m inim um , accept a culturally p lural society w ith m utual tolerance. >

Behind the glowing smilesM ontreal au thorities’ behind-the-scenes manoeuvre

last December to get the Union N ationale governm ent to vote a special law to exem pt the city from its obli­gations to the pension funds of its 18,000 employees is ju s t another indication th a t trickery is one of the essential tools trad itionnally used to escape the on­slaught of grave problems.

The fac t th a t m unicipal au thorities could, today, go to the Union N ationale cab inet in Quebec City and secretly m ake arrangem ents for the adoption of such a law, th a t i t was passed unanim ously by the Quebec national assem bly, w ithout so m uch as a word being prin ted in the Quebec press (English or French) has astounded a good num ber of young people.

The secrecy which surrounds M ontreal’s adm inis­tra tion has been an accepted thing in M ontreal for as long as I can remember.

W hat took the business com m unity and m iddle-aged citizens by surprise was the im m ediate and explosive reaction of all the unions.

T h a t’s why the whole story was made public.

Norm ally, M ontreal’s adm in istra to rs can rely heavi­ly on press support and public apathy abou t any de­cision they make.

Isolated groups can do little to reverse a decision which they feel in unjust. P ro tests have little or no repercussions and the surface-calm so fam iliar to M ontreal politics is soon restored.

However the police th rea t to take city hall by arm ed force (obviously m ade in a fit of anger) and p lans of the 18,000 em ployees to go into “ study sessions” shook up the whole business com munity.

I t becam e ev ident th a t the old p a tte rn of doing things had misfired.

Now the unions have their w ritten guarantees about the city’s contribution to the pension funds ($9,000,000 annually) and no doub t the city hopes its troubles on th is score are going to be forgotten. '

The circle of secrecy has been widened to include the city’s 18,000 employees.

The question now arises w hether M ontreal’s public will accept th is publicly-advertised secret between the .M ontreal adm inistra tion , the business com m unity

A

and the 18,000 employees of the city.The answer to th is question depends on the press

to a g reat extent.Reporters who w anted to know more abou t arrange­

m ents between the city and its em ployees on pension fund contributions were told:

“ Go and ask Mr. Lucien Saulnier for the deta ils .” M aybe m anoeuvring and secrecy can still work,

as a way of running things in M ontreal, b u t I have the feeling th a t more and more people are going to find th is is a dangerous approach to public affairs.

I t is certain th a t dem ocratic open governem ent re­quires a lot more work, more guts, more honesty than behind-the-scenes m anoeuvres w ith a half-dozen in ­fluential people.

B ut m y guess is th a t soon a positive approach to public adm inistra tion of M ontreal will be an absolute p ractical necessity and the powers th a t be should p u t their trad itional bag of tricks in the a ttic and set up m achinery for dem ocratic governement.

Three in the AtticThe executive com m ittee of the S tuden ts’

Association m et yesterday to reform ulate its position on recent events surrounding the Anderson case a t Sir George. I t decided th a t i t is “unable to m ake a declaration abou t whose side - if there are clear sides - it will endorse” .

Instead, the three voting m em bers present decided to “urge both parties to ac t in a m an ­ner which will not aggravate th is situation, and fu rther th a t both parties be urged to move as swiftly as possible, free of dem ands, to reconcile the situation” .

An a ttem p t was made by m em bers of the S tuden t Legislative Council to call a m eeting of th a t body, since the executive com m ittee forms only a p a rt of the SLC, to the exclusion of faculty representatives. The chairm an, Don Rosenbaum , reaffirmed his belief however, in the legitim acy of the com m ittee to proceed wi th the i ssue s a t h an d .

He explained the fact th a t a full SLC m eeting was not held since executive com m ittee m em ­bers were more accesible and were probably b etter informed th an m ost m em bers of the larger body.

Earlier in the week, the S tudents Legislative Council passed a m otion calling for the d is­solution of the present hearing com m ittee and suggesting th a t three outside arb itra to rs be secured and constitute the hearing com m ittee.

Yesterday’s m otion, however, m oderated th is position on the basis th a t the situation “is not as clear as previously considered.”

I t was council’s in ten tion to a ttem p t cla­rification of th is central issue relating to the segm entation of opinion throughout the university. Rosenbaum felt th a t the approach of m ost groups involved in the affair was leading to a polarization “which although some people feel is good, I consider a dange­rous tren d .”

Over the p as t week-end, m ost m em bers of the executive com m ittee partic ipa ted in d is­cussions w ith various facylty m em bers and studen ts called together m ostly by Rosenbaum and professor M ichel Despland. M eeting for alm ost the entire week-end a t a downtown hotel, the group discussed various aspects of the situation to th a t point, and produced two new spapers on Tuesday.

S tudents of the university are paying the over $1,000 cost of the issue indirectly since' the bill has been sent to the Vice-Principal, A dm inistration and Finance. He was notified th a t the group, which in fact represents no­body’s po in t of view b u t i t ’s own, was publish­ing a paper, the substance of which was aim ed a t the avoidance of abuse and m isinform ation

(in their term s) and presum ably were au ­thorized to proceed.

In addition to the $1,000 cost of the paper, the university’s money (which comes substan­tially from students) is subsidizing the hotel, food, etc. cost which am ounts to approxim at­ely $4,000.

It was reportedly an offshoot of the week­end’s discussions which led to the SLC’s decision on Tuesday to adop t a stand, con­dem ning the present constituted hearing com-, m ittee. There had been some dissention on the question a t the discussions which pre­vented the paper (The Statem ent) from issuing a sim ilar condemnation.

Co-incidentally, council has now moved closer to the position of the Sir George Wil­liam s Association of University Teachers executive. T h a t body voted last night to ex­press confidence in the im partiality of the hearing com m ittee. T h at m otion avoided ob­jection raised by students th a t the com m ittee was formed illegitim ately since all parties involved in the case had not been consulted as to its composition. The question of the com m ittee’s capacity to hear the case im ­partia lly or not is peripheral in the m inds of the occupying students.

U ntil now, m ost of the com m unications carried on by the executive regarding the Anderson affair have been w ith facu lty ,and adm inistrative officers. There has been some com m unication w ith the occupying students, b u t a significant am ount relates to the convey­ing of inform ation to other authorities.

The S tuden ts’ Association is increasingly adopting a posture of m ediator, a t least, its role in th is area is becoming more pronounced, while the same people making the decisions on behalf of students are negotiating w ith the m em bers of Anderson’s professional associa­tion which refuses to confront s tuden t grie­vances. The fundam ental question which the SLC and the executive com m ittee have yet to face is whether or not their present posture should be discontinued and they should s ta rt acting in the in terests of their own m em bers, who are presently engaged in a struggle for studen t rights.

The A dm inistration meanwhile has also adopted a position th a t the hearing com m ittee is capable of dealing w ith the case im p ar­tially.

Thus, the three “representative” organi­zations of the university have adopted posi­tions which are closely aligned, in the sense th a t they do not confront the issue raised by the occupying students. U ntil these issues are confronted, the situation will rem ain volatile. The executive com m ittee m ust recognize th is fact before proceeding.

SGWAUT Council backs administrationIn a decisive move last evening, the

council of the Sir George W illiam s As­sociation of U niversity Teachers sided w ith the adm in istra tion in the contro­versial “Anderson Affair” .

The vote, 14-3, expressed the “full confidence of the SGW AUT council in the im partia lity of the hearing com m i­tte e” , in its’ hearing of the Anderson case.”

In a later move, the council passed a m otion of confidence in V ice-Principal (Academic) John O’Brien.

T w enty of the twenty-five m em bers a ttended the m eeting of the council which represents abou t 160 facu lty m em ­bers. There are approxim ately 300 facu lty m em bers em ployed by the u n i­versity.

Professor J. Callaghan chaired the

m eeting in place of regular chairm an Professor M. M arsden. M arsden, who is a m em ber of the five m an hearing com m ittee, cannot preside over any m eeting which discusses the Anderson Affair.

The council also decided to update the chronicle of events which was prin­ted in the publication STA T E M E N T and commissioned two faculty m em bers to draw up a paper on the “origin form a­tion and s ta tu s of the hearing com mi­ttee .”

A m otion endorsing negotiations be t­ween all parties in the Anderson Affair - the counsels for the students, univers­ity and Anderson, was tabled.

Another m eeting is scheduled for to­day a t 4 p.m . The m eeting is open to the public.

McGill students disrupt first open board meeting

M O M T R P . A T I ' P T T P A __ T V i o M n f l i l l T T n i _ a n r n a v ? ” “ W t l u a r e = t , , r l o n t c 1M ONTREAL (CUP) - The M cGill U ni­versity board of governors held its first -- and probably last -- open m eeting M onday (Jan. 27), only to adjourn after 10 m inutes of confrontation with 200 chanting, jeering s tu ­dents.

The students crowded into the m eeting room in defiance of a lim ited ticket ruling th a t would have allowed only 34 spectators.

They brushed p ast security m easures set up in the adm inistration building and swarmed into the meeting chanting “Pouvoir ouvrier (worker power)” and ‘Ban the board” .

At one point, they bowled over three secu­rity guards blocking their way and shouted th a t all students should be able to a tten d m ee­tings of the board.

P a sses issuedThe adm inistration, fearing a repetition of

Friday’s incident when 35 studen ts jam m ed a closed m eeting of a key personnel com m ittee and succeded in opening it, issued passes to the board session. The passes were checked three tim es while all elevators were shu t down and the staircases blocked to anyone w ithout a pass.

The governors, stunned by the action, g lan­ced abou t nervously and m uttered to th em ­selves, b u t could not bring them selves to speak to the students.

The students dem anded a t the outset th a t the board discuss a controversial decision to build a faculty of m anagem ent ra ther th an finance a studen t co-operative housing ven tu ­re.

Bad investm entS tudents said the governors had ruled out

the co-op because it was “a bad investm ent.” They asked th a t the item be placed a t the head of the agenda, am id angry choruses of “ We control the university ,” “Who are the go­

vernors anyw ay?” “ Why are students bad risks?

The m eeting never got as far as discussing an agenda.

The chairm an, chancellor Howard I. Ross, refused to acknowledge the studen t right to speak or present motions. He was backed by board members.

The board then decided to continue, barring in terruption by spectators, b u t five m inutes later moved th a t the room be cleared.

Action threatenedThe students refused to leave despite a

th rea t of disciplinary action from principal H. Rocke Robertson, and the board prom ptly adjourned.

All the while, Robertson and vice-princi­pal M ichael Oliver were busily taking down the nam es of s tuden ts they recognised. Oliver said they collected abou t 15 names.

He also said the adm inistration is consider­ing disciplinary action.

The exchanges were b itte r throughout.' No polite pretenses

A dm inistrators and students jostled each other and m ain tained no polite pretenses. At one point, Maxwell Cohen, dean of law, poin­ted to S tan Grey, a political science lecturer and one of the insurgents, and called him “a m alodorous guru of the nose-picking set.”

As the governors finally filed ou t between two lines of jeering students, several dem onst­ra tors sang “ Goodnight Ladies” to which one governor replied: “Dam ned nonsense” .

F irst open issueThe M cGill session was the first open m ee­

ting of a university board of governors in C anadian history.

The adm inistration has called a special meeting of the Senate for Saturday morning. The m eeting to commence a t 9 a .m ., will discuss “ the disruption in this university” .

Regina students call for boycott

Canadian University Press

REGINA -- The P resident and two other m em bers of the S tu­d en t Council a t th is U niversity of Saskatchew an cam pus resigned W ednesday (Jan . 29) during a noisy m eeting in which their consti­tuen ts m ade p lans for a boycott of classes nex t week.

Council P residen t Dave Sheard, F irst V ice-President Ken Sun- qu ist and Councillor Gerald Pout-M acdonald resigned when the 500 studen ts a t the general m eeting voted th a t only s tuden ts who had paid their s tuden t union fees be allowed to vote in upcom ing elections.

All three m ain ta ined th a t the franchise-restricting move makes the S tuden t Union no longer representative of the cam pus studen t body.

Sheard, who has been p a r t of the studen t-adm in istration team negotiating over the Board of Governors’ announcem ent th a t it would not collect studen t union fees th is term , said he could not “m orally agree” w ith the ruling.

He said th a t i t has “ com pletely cu t the union off from the studen t body.” The S tu d en t Union was now a club “ th a t only represents its m em bership .”

The general m eeting also voted to boycott classes M onday (Feb. 3.) as a p ro test against A dm inistration unwillingness to respond in the ongoing negotiations over fees collection. A Teach-In 'is p lanned for the same day to discuss problem s of the university in the com m unity a t large.

In other areas, the studen ts voted to continue negotiating with the board over fees collection, renew dem ands for universal ac­cessibility to higher education w ith elim ination of tu ition fees as a first step “ to enable a ttendance a t th is university by low-income and working class fam ilies,” and publicize their position in the province generally.

The resignation of Sheard and the two other councillors sparked im m ediate debate w ithin the council. One councillor called their w ithdraw al a “ victory for the board ,” charging the trio w ith adop­ting a “ sell-out position.”

The general meeting also voted support for the U niversity’s Em ployees’ Union in dem anding settlem ent on a contract o u ts tan ­ding w ith the board since 1967.

It has also seemed very strange to me th a t if the black s tuden ts were so adam antly justified in their accusations of Prof. Anderson, why not let the press and other form s of news m edia know the proof. I am sure th a t the adm inis­tra tion would be forced to a c t and ac t ju stly if the general public and students received the facts and dem anded the tru th .

Another curious thing th a t I have yet heard no one question is why can we not take care of one thing a t a time. The original problem was the accusation th a t Anderson is a racist. I say le t us get th is settled before we do anything else.

B u t I ask you WHY, WHY do we have to stand for the student m ovem ent coming into the affair and pu tting in their two cents worth, i.e., accusing the adm inis­tration of being corrupt. I am not d is - ' agreeing w ith the studen t m ovem ents ac­cusation. B ut I am disagreeing w ith the way they have m ade the Anderson Affair a mixing po t of all grievances, theirs, the separatists, etc. I say th a t we, the students, are only pu tting ourselves into ho tter w ater and cutting our own throats by not demanding th a t first things be settled first. Are we so blind th a t we cannot see w hat is happening before our very eyes. Are we the generation th a t shall be lead by our noses by a handful of extrem ists. I say we are more in te l­ligent th an th a t and th a t we m ust stand up and dem and th a t the Anderson Affair be cleared up first. We are not barbarians th a t we m ust shout C om m unist slogans a t the tops of our voices and then lock ourselves up in closed quarters, to prove ourselves th a t we are right. We m ust

all unite in an orderly fashion and pu t forth our com plaints peacefully like in­telligent and civilized hum an beings.

Alone, we cannot dem and anything, but together we can. We can dem and tha t the black students stop occupying any p arts of th is university. Together we can dem and th a t the handful of student m ovem ent (Com m unist) m em bers be kept q u ie t and no t interfere un til this affair is over. T h a t we dem and th a t the black studen ts and adm inistra tion get together in a jo in tly approved m anner and th a t the proof of Anderson being a racist fi­nally be proved by the black students. And together dem and th a t IF the black studen ts responsible for the racist ac­cusations cannot provide unquestionable proof, th a t they be perm anently suspended from th is in stitu tion of higher learning.

We m ust, above all other things, re­m em ber th a t we are the m ajority and th a t the d rastic actions taken by the mi­nority are done in our name. We m ust stand forth, we m ust make this clear once and for all, th a t we the majority of studen ts in th is university dem and th a t all actions of any studen t be done in an orderly m anner. Remember, when the public and our future possible em p­loyers talk abou t the insane actions a t Sir George, they are talking about us, the m ajority who are not involved in the extrem e actions. We m ust change these stupid series of actions, our fu tures are in the balance.

If you agree w ith w hat I have said then for God’s sake do something about it. L et th is be your contribution to this uni­versity, back me up, send a short note to the georgian or the Paper. This is the only way we can finally get something good and useful done here.

JOHN CASSAVETES' „ VC, DC 1

FACESU T h e film w as included on the program of a

film festival organized under the auspices of the T ennessee A rts Com mission. A strangely heterogeneous audience—high school and college kids, housew ives, businessm en, sec­retaries, academ ic types, and a sm attering of beards and love beads—had endured two exhausting days of sem inars, panel d iscus­sions and screenings by the time FACES was to be shown.

FACES—and I say this calm ly as I can—is a beautifu l film. It is a unique film. I have never responded, 1 have never seen an audi­ence respond as we did that night. The faces that we saw w ere our own.

The film is the acting, and the players in FACES, all of them —John M arley, Gena Rowlands, Lynn Carlin, Seym our Cassel, and the o thers—sim ply gave, w ere allowed to give, the perform ance of their lives .9)9)
