$ 47.329 deficit

Bookstore hampered by poor planningAfter a year of operation, the

Bookstore Committee has reached “ a position at which we can make an assessment of whether the Com m it­tee works or not," Chairman John D. Jackson told the georgian yesterday following W ednesday’s meeting of the Bookstore Policy Committee.

Until Wednesday night there had been a great deal of pessimism a- mong its members concerning the effectiveness of the Committee. At least some of that pessimism has now been dispelled, with the subm is­sion of two long-awaited financial statements.

Now that the necessary figures are available, action can, hopefully, be taken to correct some of the obvious administrative inefficiencies which resulted in the bookstore’s losing $47,329 for the year ended M ay 31, 1968.

Professor Jackson stated that the opening of the Hall Building in 1966, and the resulting mushrooming of the student population, produced a whole melange of administrative problems in the University. The Adm inistra­

tion had previously been geared to deal with a much smaller volume of students. He said that the Booksto­re's problems were essentially a re­sult of poor planning.

The Bookstore Policy Committee itself has been running into trouble most of it springing from the failure o f the University Administration and Bookstore Management to produce required data on time. The two fiscal reports are a case in point.

It was nine months, from the time that the request for an accurate fi­nancial statement was conceived last January until the reports were finally released at W ednesday night’s m eet­ing.

The report indicates an abnorm ally large part of the Bookstore’s stock - $462,051 to be exact - was left un­sold at the close of the last fiscal year.

Again this is because of inefficient purchasing policies.

Professor Jackson went on to out­line several improvements in Book­store policy which are now under consideration. The proposed im pro­vements include:

A g e o rg ia n p h o t o g r a p h e r m a n a g e d t o s n a p t h i s p i c t u r e o f t h e B o o k s t o r e P o l i c y C o m m i t t e e a t W e d n e s d a y n i g h t ' s m e e t i n g b e f o r e h e w a s “ a s k e d " t o l e a v e .

-- a decrease in the amount and variety of “ service items” (e.g. playing cards, pens, pencils, beer mugs, Sir George jackets, etc.) It is not immediately known exactly ‘how much of unsold stock can be placed in this category, but there is reason to suspect that the pro­portion is quite large.

— an increase in the selection of trade books and periodicals which are not readily available in other bookstores, but are of interest to students.

-- a reduction of staff costs. The Bookstore remains open on Saturday in spite of the fact that few sales are made on that day.

The Bookstore Policy Committee, established last November to inves­tigate the operation of the Bookstore is comprised of four students, three faculty, and three representatives of administration.

A motion was also passed at W ed­nesday’s meeting recommending that in future Committee meetings be m a­de open to all members of the Uni­versity.

Crack down on students continues in Saigon

C O M M E N T by Murray Smith

Since the condem nation to 5 years at hard labor of Ngu­yen Truong Con (the 23-year- old editor of Sinh Vien, the Saigon Student Union news­paper) on July 25, and that of Nguyen Dang Trung (Chair­man of the SSU, 10 years at hard labor in absentia) in August, the Saigon regime continues its crackdown on the students of South Viet­nam.

On October 3, Nguyen Thanh Cong, Secretary Gene­ral of the SSU, was given a suspended 3-year prison sentence on a charge of “ un­dermining public security” by a military court after a three-hour trial.

The SSU headquarters at 4 Duy Tan Street in downtown Saigon was raided by the po­lice on September 24. During the raid, police arrested stu­dent leaders - among them Nguyen Thanh Cong (also Chairman of the M edical Stu­dents Group) and Miss Dao Thi Nguyet Thanh, Secretary General of the SSU’ s Relief Committee.

The SSU headquarters was closely guarded and sur­rounded by security forces. This prompted Miss Tran Thi Ngoc Hao, acting SSU Chair­man, to send a protest to the newspaper Cong Luan (Public Opinion) in which she said that the government ac­tion “ interfered with the U- nion’s internal affairs” and was “ part of a plot by thedictatorial regim e."____________

B Y Tran Van Dinh (College Press Service)

Representative Nguyen Trong Nho (a 31-year-old former student leader) sent on Sep. 27 a letter to Premier Tran Van Huong requesting that the government release the SSU headquarters from police siege. He said he would bring the matter before the House of Representatives if his demand was not met.

The suppression and arrest of students continues, how­ever, despite the fact that the Saigon regime had re­placed all arrested student leaders with pro-government “ student” agents.

Student opposition consistentWhy do the South Vietnam­

ese students consistently op ­pose the Saigon regime? One answer can be found in a statement by the new Minister of Education, Le Minh Tri (who replaced Michigan State University-trained dentist Nguyen Van Tho). On Oct. 2, 1968, soon after he as­sumed his function, Minister Tri declared: “ For a longtime, the universities have been a complete mess. The professors are lazy or even never show up in classes."

He vowed “ to lift the lid team...the..universities® garba­

ge can and find out the true state of affairs.” Mr. Le Minh Tri does not need to do that. If he sim ply looks around he will easily find out that it is the atrocious war, the foreign occupation, which revolts the conscience of the students in Vietnam and elsewhere.

Minister Tri could also see the truth if he read the fol­lowing story in the Saigon Post of September 19, 1968 and changed the word “ com ­m unist" to “ resistance" or “ Alliance of National Forces for Peace and D em ocracy." The story said. “ Tw o Uni­versity students admitted they have joined the Communist party because they did not want to see ‘foreigners on the soil.’ ” The two appeared before a press conference given by National Police Di­rector General, Colonel Tran Van Hai. They are Nguyen Van Chin, 24 and Ho Hung Van, 23, arrested by the po­lice on September 10 and 13 respectively. Chin, a native of Quang Ngai province, and a second-year sociology stu­dent from the Van Hanh Bud­dhist University, Saigon, told newsmen “ he was sorry not to be able to carry out the task entrusted me by the Com m unists." “ W hat I’m now preparing to do is to be ready to appear before court," he added.

Signs o f fea r nonexistent“ Chin did not show any

sign of repentance or fear when replying to questions from about 50 local and to reign journalists. He said he had joined the com munist party because his father and two of his elder brothers have been in the North since 1954. Asked what he felt about the “ Communist wanton shellings on South Vietnamese cities and towns," Chin said, “ I was moved by the death of women and children. But the cause that generated such a situa­tion is another matter which I don ’t want to discuss right now.”

“ Second-year law student Van, who was the secretary- general of the Law Students Representative Group of the Saigon Student Union, told the questioners he did not want to see any ‘foreigners in Vietnam’ because ‘such a presence prevents freedom of thought in the South.’ "

“ We do not accept a false freedom like the one now pre­vailing here, a freedom under pressure,” Van added. On the presence of the American troops in the South, Van rea­soned that this was dictated by the “ U.S. intention to pro­tect its influence in Asia - mostly econom ic interests.”

He added, “ Communist North Vietnamese troops are now in the South in order to fight against the presence of these foreigners.”

The repression of the stu­dents, although very serious, is only a small aspect of the whole police-state system prevailing now in South Viet­nam. According to the W ash­ington Post of September 16: “ When President Thieu in­troduced his 1968 national budget last January, he stun­ned the National Assembly by asking for about $670,000 to feed the 12,000 citizens whom the government expect­ed to have under “ temporary detention” on a daily basis. The budget request, however, was passed without much fuss.

Some Assemblymen ex­plained that in wartime, it was unrealistic to expect scrupulous respect for civil liberties. But one Senator, who refused to be identified, complained that “ anyone in Vietnam who has a gun can pick up people.” The Saigon regime has plenty of guns (supplied by the U.S.) and plenty of money - provided by the hard-working Ameri­can taxpayers.

There existed during the summer a rising tide of optimism, that was simultaneously naive and well-intentioned, around the election campaign of Eugene McCarthy. That is, in political terms, what Senator M cCarthy’ s campaign represent­ed for the left of this historical generation was the test in “ praxis” of whether or not dissent was possible given the acceptance of the basic presuppositions of this society.

A point is reached in the developm ent of a protest movement in a liberal society when "protest becom es assimilated and serves to bolster the system rather than to mount a critique of it. The presence of dissent that confirms the existence o f a pluralistic society occuring at the same time that no amount of dissent can bring about change makes the dissentors aware that, in fact, pluralism does not exist and that the peripheral changes that are accepted only serve to make the oppression more efficient.

I am going to suggest the radical hypothesis that mass movements are not based on altruism but rather, the empathy that arises in a society for the oppression and cruelty directed against another group arises solely because there is cruelty and oppression in that society and no other method exists

; to articulate and express that suffering and fear. I maintain that, in addition to expressing their support for the Vietnam-

,ese people, the people in the Western world who have been protesting the war in Vietnam over the past few years have done so to protest their own condition and indicate their refusal to accept their own dehumanization. W hat Senator M cCarthy’ s campaign has revealed to the mass of young people who placed their faith in him was that it is impossible to change the root conditions o f any society without a denial of the values and structures that society maintains to preserve itself. What, in fact, becom es necessary is the adoption of the theory and practice of revolutionary politics.

M en will not liberate themselves or create the social order necessary to their collective existence until they recognize the necessity of developing the relevant revolution­ary theory on the basis of their experience and through their collective and individual practice.

4/the georgian, FR ID AY, N OVEM BER I, 1968

Tell it like it i s !In his address last friday, to students of SG W U ,

Dr. Jam es Luther A d a m s of the Harvard Divinity School, developed a theory concerning civil d isobedi­ence in general, and attem pted to app ly it to black re­bellions in northern urban areas in particular. His point about black violence causing repressive action on the part of the white power structure is well taken, but w h a t he has not seemed to grasp is that there is little more that can be done in the direction of black suppression that has not already, been indelibly etched into the history of the black m an in America.

Dr. A d a m s is right w hen he equates "system atic disobedience" to a total rejection of the legal system. W hat he did not include in his adress, however, is that legal codes can function effectively, only if E V E R Y ­O N E obeys them. The la w in the United States, and elsewhere on this continent for that matter, is the w h i­te m a n 's law . It a lw a y s has been. The supreme law s of the United States, the U.S. Constitution, were con­ceived by men w h o m outhed platitudes of equality, yet s a w little w rong in slavery. The anna ls of American history are filled with testomony to the fact that law, in the United States, has m eant persecution, if you h a p ­pened to be born black. People like Dr. A d a m s would do well to remember that w hen Hitler shovelled six million h um an beings into ovens w h a t he w a s doing w a s LEGAL.

It is this basic assum ption that black people are not Americans and never have been that has permitted the advocates of black power to correctly judge their po­sition within the context of the American social order. To people like Stokely Carm ichael and H. Rap Brown, black power m eans that black sherrifs will end police brutality in the ghettoes, and that the taxes paid by blacks will be administered by them and used to pro­vide civic services in black areas. In short, the fact that violence is being used by the black m an in A m e ­rica to achieve these ends is the result not of his pre­ferences, but of a situation over which he has little control. Black Power has declared its goals, the m e­thods which it must use to achieve them will be dic­tated by those w ho hold the power. Protest marches and sit-ins have been tried and they have failed to a- chieve the desired results, the options ava ilab le to the black m an have been steadily eroded until, now, only one remains. Whether or not it will have to be used depends upon those w h o are in authority, and they, h a ­ve never been black.

Letters to the editor“Bogge”d downEditor, the georgian;

Since your paper has been arbitfarily, not to mention improperly and immaturely, chosen by five members of the ESA Council as the chan­nel of com m unication between themselves and the ESA Pre­sident, I feel it a duty to the Engineering student body to

the g e o rg ia n

reply.It is only because “ The

Bogge” will not appear until next Friday that I break with principle and write about in­ternal ESA matters in a u- niversity-wide publication.

Take little solace in that you have, in your dubious way of thinking, won a point­less and rather despicable battle.

For, in my mind, and doubt­less in the minds of others, you have, in one fell swoop, lost the war.

It you do not understand or at least realize what I mean, you will have to wait next Friday’s Bogge.

At that time I will address an open letter to the Enginee­ring Student Body which you so often mention but appa­rently don’ t think about, or should I say, anything of.

Between now and then, I expect you to follow up your dynam ic and positive contri­bution to student government by hurrying about your hit­herto neglected duties. Du­ties that, in your strange way of thinking, haven't been car­ried out because I d idn ’t push you closely enough.

Now, to Georgians in gene­ral and engineers in particu­lar, I wish to apologize for this degrading episode, that has been of no benefit, what­ever, to anyone. Destructive criticism has never accom ­plished anything.

I am sure, that sooner or later, the other gentlemen in­volved will realize the im pro­priety of their actions.

As a parting thought let me remind the georgian and its

future contributors that great minds dwell on ideas, lesser minds discuss things and the smallest minds talk about people.

There is no shame in ai­ming for the top.

Wrong rumorEditor, the georgian;

Refering to your editorial and poster article on page 9 of Tuesday Oct. 29th Geor­gian, I wish to clarify some relevant points.

In your editorial you began with the words “ Rumor has it” , well sir, you were right on that point and that is where your facts ended. What you were so eloquently remarking on was sheer rumor and no­thing more. I believe that an editorial is more than a gossip colum n, as you make it out to be, and that it should contain factual information, which in no way was indicated in your column.

I advise that next time you should have a little more in­formation from the right peo­ple and not look as foolish as at present.

I appreciate humor and a good laugh once in awhile also, which I believe you were trying to evoke, but my dear sir, I think that you have been the one who has been made a fool. You see, a num­ber of posters were displayed

throughout the university, hut were immediately removed when it was learned that the dance, so well advertised, was actually not sponsored by the M cGill Students As­sociation and that the McGill Ball Room was not to be used for the dance concert as the poster proclaimed.

Actually, you have been taken for a ride, by adver­tising, gratis no less, an event that you were too lazy or couldn't care less about to verify what you were say­ing. You sir have committed the greatest injustice of a reporter and that is to N O T report the news as factually and precisely as possible.

Lastly I deny ever using the words “ obscene” and “ immoral” in association with the posters in question. A great big thank-you Mr. Editor, Sir, for showing me your true colours. I would appreciate a cute little re­traction from you in your own emaculate way so that you may once again go back into hibernation concerning internal affairs. Fear not though, if there are any more of these type of provocative posters to come through my office I shall be sure to send one up to you to oggle at and fill in any space you must certainly have reserved lor them.

■ m| <■ mr m m a m m m ■Why they sold The GazetteM O N TREAL. (CUP) - On O cto­

ber '22, Charles Peters, President and publisher of The Gazette, called together the reporters working in the newsroom, and in a ten-minute speech announced he had just sold his paper to the Southam chain.

He apologized that he had no time to answer questions, urged the perplexed staff to “ work harder” and departed.

Gazette management underlings were quick to assure all the staffers that “ nothing will change, The Ga­zette will remain the same” .

As rationale for the sale, Peters said it was difficult these days to sustain a newspaper as a one- family business.

Peters, ironically, was telling the truth. But only part of it.

The sale of The Gazette brings to light other facts:

* Tw o powerful newspaper chains are eating up Canadian newspapers and now with The Gazette’s purchase, are close to sewing up monopolies.

* These two chains are locking into a newspaper war, scrambling for advertising.

by Mark Starowicz, The McGill Daily

* These and other Canadian news­papers are struggling for their lives because American publications are sweeping the advertising market.

Fundamentally, the sale o f The Gazette is a victory o f powerful monopolistic interests over inde­pendent outlets (no matter how un­palatable The Gazette is, up to now it was independently unpalatable)."

Southam is one of three very powerful newspaper chains that account for about 35 percent o f all newspaper circulation in Canada. The other two are Sifton-Bell papers and the Thom son chain.

Fighting for control o f the m e­tropolitan newspaper market are Southam and Sifton-Bell. Thom son's empire rests on smaller papers not in major urban concentrations. Let us therefore look closely at these two com peting (and frequently co­operating) empires-on-the-make:

The Southam complex is still basically family-owned, although it is listed as a public company. Three Southams sit on the Board of Direc­tors. Southam directors hold, or at some time held, three bank director­ships, three directorships in insu­rance companies, and four other directorships in large corporations.

A Schizophrenic EmpireIt is a somewhat schizophrenic

empire. John Southam, the most powerful man in the operation, does his business out of Ottawa, while keeping an eye on The Ottawa Citizen, which Southam owns, and which is com m only known as a Liberal go­vernment mouthpiece.

There is a Tory side to The Southams, however, which operates through the Hamilton Spectator, and there is even a Social Credit side: The Edmonton Journal, virtually a party organ for Alberta Premier E.C. Manning.

The Southam Company, including Pacific Press Ltd., of which South­am owns 50 per cent, controls the following newspapers:

Hamilton Spectator, North Bay Nug­get, W innipeg Tribune, M edicine Hat News, Calgary Herald, Edm onton Journal, Montreal Gazette: with total circulation between 800,000 and 1,000 ,000 .

Partially owned: Vancouver Pro­vince ( 5 0 0 , Vancouver Sun ( 5 0 0 - these two papers put on a mock show of com peting brands put out by the same manufacturer - London Free Press ( 2 5 0 , Kitchener-W aterloo Record ( 4 7 0 .

Beyond this, Southam controls 21 business and professional magazines, and has large interests in at least seven television and radio stations.

Standards M a in ta inedEvery newspaper in the Southam

chain can be written off as a rag, with the possible exception of The Hamilton Spectator, which has relatively com petent news pages. The addition of The Gazette to the chain sustains Southam 's general level of quality.

Southam has strong links with Great West Life, as does the second chain, Sifton-Bell (F.P. Publications Ltd. and Sifton Group). Sifton-Bell is also linked with oil interests in the West.

Victor Sifton operates out of T o ­ronto and is in partnership w ith 'M ax Bell, best known as a race-horse owner. Bell has myriad interlocking corporate interests in the West, and negotiates many of the major oil sales to the United States.

The Sifton-Bell empire outrightly owns the W innipeg Free Press, O t­tawa Journal, Calgary Albertan, Lethbridge Herald, Victoria Daily Colonist, Victoria Daily Tim es, Re­gina Leader-Post and Saskatoon Star-Phoenix.

It owns Canada's most “ respect­able” paper. The Toronto Globe and Mail, but in circuitous way. Here we get into an interesting and relevant analogy with Southam 's purchase of The Gazette.

A couple of years ago, the Sifton group purchased all shares of The Globe and M ail, owned then by- Charles Webster. Webster simply exchanged the Globe .shares for Sifton shares, and thus passed owner­ship while retaining “ control" of the newspaper.

Southam did the same thing with the Gazette. Charles Peters ex­changed all Gazette shares he held for Southam shares, on condition that he be allowed to operate the paper “ independently".

The Globe and M ail did not change when it switched hands, and, most likely, neither will the Gazette.

(W ebster, incidentally, is re­presentative of the people who control our media: he owns the D o­minion Square com plex and the Windsor Hotel here, and is one of the top men in the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce. During the Depression, he controlled all the coal on the Montreal waterfront. While people were literally starving, he raised prices twice. The federal government fined him for the illegal aspects of this, so he raised the price of coal a third time to pay the fine.

Boredom to be conqueredHaving just built a 100-storey

com plex in Chicago, it is said he is

getting bored with newspapers, and will give up The Globe and Mail to Sifton to do more interesting things. Like join up with Samuel Bronfman in Montreal to set up the baseball team).

Obviously the technique of buying a newspaper and leaving its control to the past owners is simply a hold­ing tactic. Webster would do every­one a favor by leaving Sifton's way clear at The Globe, and Southam has a very decent sort of obituary already typed up for Charles Peters.

The Southam and Sifton chains had been unable to get a foothold in the major cities until Sifton got T h ev Globe and Mail. Southam has now grabbed The Gazette after wooing it for a long time, and thus the two empires have broken through on a country-wide scale.

Why this desire to get a Montreal paper and to break into the large eastern urban market?

One of the most desperate battles in Canada is being waged against Tim e and Reader's Digest, who threaten the very lives of these news­papers.

There are two levels of advertis­ing in the newspaper racket: re­gional and national. Dow, Chrysler, Canadian National, Coke - all these products span the country and cons­titute "national advertising", which is the most lucrative. Simpson's, Steinberg's, Dupuis and Mr. Muffler are regional, and less lucrative.

Time and Reader's Digest are both nationally-circulated magazines, with a com bined monthly circulation reaching three million.

By simple arithmetic, they can reach more people faster. So they attract the national advertising to the extent that any independent news­paper has to try to survive mostly on regional advertising.

Star Weekly magazine folded this year because it could not get the national advertising.

Both Southam, which publishes The Canadian magazine supplement, and Sifton, which publishes Weekend, are pouring vast sums into their respective magazines to try to out­strip the two American giants. A Can­adian-Weekend circulation war is already brewing.

Chains G row in gAnother corollary of this infringe­

ment by Tim e and Reader's Digest and the need to attract national advertising, is the expansion of newspaper chains. That is why Southam ogled The Gazette for years. That's why Sifton went for The Globe and Mail.

A newspaper chain has an infinitely better chance of attracting national advertising (offering the advertisers nation-wide package) if it can be­come national itself. Hence the development of a Hearst Scripps- Howarcl style dual m onopoly that will spawn a stiff advertising war.

The purchase of The Gazette by Southam signals the intensification of that Southam -Sifton war, and also the war of both against Time and Reader's Digest.

But any hopes that this change in ownership in The Gazette will lead to an improvement in the pa­per's content are probably ground­less. The Gazette's will be the same storv as The Globe's — no basic

change, since it remains in the hands of the ex-owner.

Besides, there is a very good reason why there will probably never be a fundamentally improved Gazette.

Economics M e an s MediocrityOnly a rotten morning newspaper

can make a profit in Montreal. Economics dictate this.

The Montreal Star is so financially powerful that should the morning paper make any noises about raising its circulation by improving its coverage and content. .The Star would crush it. The Star, it should be remembered, gobbled up the Montreal Herald.

It is well known in the journalistic com munity here that The Gazette is allowed to exist only because a “ gentleman's agreement" exists between the two papers that The Gazette will never try to challenge The Star's circulation.

Besides, it is possible to make a comfortable • profit publishing a sixth-rate morning newspaper in Montreal, one which subsists on leftover advertising scraps from the Star. That's the only explanation for Peters' operating The Gazette on a ridiculously tiny budget.

The cost of producing a better paper is simply not justified by the profit that can be expected. The public never did count for much when it came to adding up the balance sheet, so it does not matter thay they obtain inferior news coverage.

The way magazines like Time and Reader's Digest are allovyed to- choke Canadian journalism IS another example of how the public comes second. This excerpt from John Porter's The Vertical Mosaic brings out the point:

Anyone familiar with the reading habits of Canadians knows that the handful of magazines and perio-

'dicals published in Canada does not represent the ideological expo­sure of the general population. Publications from the United States circulate far more widely than do those of Canadian origin. The consumption of American periodi­cals in Canada is an ideological counterpart of the external control of the econom ic system.

Yet the Canadian government, which has frequently debated taxing Time and Reader's Digest as it does other foreign publications, has allowed this cultural imperialism to flourish by accepting the absurd proposition that Time and Reader's Digest can be considered Canadian because of their throwaway “ Ca­nadian Content".

As for The Gazette itself, it is insignificant what happens to it. Whether Charles Peters owns it, or whether Southam owns it, the public is only a consideration on the balance sheet.

Anywhere in Canada, to produce an independent and outspoken press is an uneconom ical proposition, based on poor business logic.

It requires a courage, and a dedication to the ideals of journalism that few Canadian publishers possess, and that certainly do not encumber Charles Peters.

So tomorrow -- business as usual on St. Antoine Street.

The Peace Corps :an alternative to aggression

by S te p h an ie Zajac

State Secretary Gerard Pelletier Tuesday put forward the idea of a non-military draft for Canadian youth similar to the U.S. peace corps (except for the idea of compulsive service). This article discusses the origins of the Peace Corps.

On March 1, 1961, President Kennedy sign­ed the order establishing the Peace Corps which he had mentioned in the State of the Union message to Congress of January 30, 1961:

Peace Corps Established“ An even more valuable national asset

(more valuable than surplus food) is our reservoir of dedicated men and women -- not only on our college campuses but in every age group -- who have indicated their desire to contribute their skills, their efforts, and a part of their lives to the fight for world order. We can mobilize this talent through the formation of a National Peace Corps, enlisting the services of all those with the desire and capacity to help foreign lands meet their urgent needs for trained personnel.”

The idea of a peaceful alternative to com ­pulsory military service was not new. In 1904, in a speech made before the Universal Peace Congress in Boston, William James put forward the idea which he later developed in an essay, TH E M O RAL EQU IVALEN T OF W AR. He proposed a disciplined peace army which would undertake dangerous as­signments but would construct instead of destroy. The benefits of such service in his mind were:

“ ...our gilded youth would be drafted off, according to their choice, to have the childishness knocked out of them, and to come back into society with healthier sym ­pathies and soberer ideas.

“ Such a conscription, with the state of public opinion that would have required it, and the many moral fruits it would bear, would preserve in the midst of a pacific civilization the manly virtues which the m i­litary party is so afraid of seeing disappear in peace. We should get toughness without callousness, authority with as little crim inal1 cruelty as possible, and painful work done cheerily because the duty is temporary, and threatens not, as now, to degrade the whole remainder of one’ s life. I speak of the ‘moral equivalent’ of war. So far, war has been the only force that can discipline a whole com munity and until an equivalent discipline is organized, I believe that war must have its way. But I have no serious doubt that the ordinary crimes and shames of social man, once developed to a certain intensity, are capable of organizing such a moral equi­valent as I have sketched... It is but a ques­tion of time, of skillful propagandism, and of opinion-making man seizing historic opportu­nities.”

Roosevelt created Youth CorpsIn 1933, Franklin D. Roosevelt seized the

“ opportunity" of the Depression to create the Civilian Conservation. Corps. They were groups of jobless youths working on much- needed social projects living under a kind of military discipline. By this time American Friends Services Committee had carried on youth services programs overseas for many years, and later came LJNESCO.

The era in which the peace corps was created depicted American youth as “ cool” and “ soft” . There was a great deal of skep­ticism as to whether they were up to the challenge. The National Review wondered “ why American youth are so caught up in the enthusiasm for bringing electric dish­

washers to the Angolese.” It was derided as the Kiddie Korps by Robert Ruark who commented “ You can train any dimwit to keep his rifle clean and march in step. Can you train a rabid Fabian fan to respect the religious position of the goat in a Kikuyu econom y or expect a crew-cut product of togetherness to understand that a Masai knows all he wants to know milkless cattle.” But he changed his mind later. “ Wherever I’ve been in the world over the last six months -- and my worst enemy can’t accuse me of im m obility -- all I’ ve heard is praise for the Peace Corps’ solid, helpful work and generally fine projection of the best American image with the downtrods.”

Corps undoes American damageThe Peace Corps was very necessary to

undo the damage done by American business­men abroad. In 1963 Richard Dudman report­ed the performance of American corporations in Latin America in a series of articles for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. He found them engaged in “ good works” and publicity; a project of “ Comite por Venezuela” was the awarding of a four-year scholarship (in the United States) to the winner of the Ve­nezuelan soap-box derby. A baseball and volleyball coach was brought from the United States to improve Venezuelan culture. Other projects included building a swimming pool in a poor district and helping “ destitute Americans in Venezuela to keep them from becoming embarassing public charges.”

Amid these good works, more immediate considerations were not forgotten. Dudman states that “ the movem ent’s real motive seems to be to protect private property against expropriation and against additional taxation and labor legislation.” How familiar! The businessmen of course preferred dicta­tors: “ ...distrust of dem ocracy applied to Latin America is a belief that runs strong through American business communities in these countries. There is a reason for this. The Cerro de Pasco Company, for one was involved in bloody fights with Indian “ Squat- ters” who claimed the com pany’s big haciend­as by right of traditional inheritance. Under a dictatorship the Indians would be better behaved.

Glamorization of CorpsTw o years later the Peace Corps was

almost too glowing a success. The publicity glamorized it and did not discuss the frus­tration and disappointm ent the occupational hazards of dysentery and boredom. In a1963 cover story on Sargent Shriver, Time magazine decided the Peace Corps “ is the greatest single success the Kennedy Admi­nistration has produced.” By the end of1964 12,000 Americans of all ages had served in the Peace Corps in 46 countries. No volunteers are sent to a country unless it asks specifically for them, and the requests exceed the number of volunteers. The ease with which Americans adjusted to different customs and lower living standards shocked their elders.

In terms of Am erica’s foreign policy, the Peace Corps was too little too late. Twelve thousand is a pitiful number in comparison with the half-million troops stationed in Viet­nam. Since Canada has not yet had the op­portunity to despoil foreign lands (though quietly and unobtrusively it does its share) to the same degree as the U.S., perhaps the Secretary of States' proposal will create in the youth of this country a level of aware­ness which might prevent Canada from ever com mitting blunders similar those of its neighbour to the South.

Mental patients being treated with new environmental concept

by Dave Taube

W hat may the Sir George student have in com m on with the inmate of a mental hospital? For one thing, they may be one and the same person.

The realization of the problems faced by former mental patients when they tried to re-integrate them ­selves with an unsympathetic society, has had the dual effect of causing hospitals to send their doctors out into Universities to teach and to leave many of their patients partial­ly in their home environment. Thus, a person may attend classes at Sir George (or another institution) and return to the hospital for sleep, medications and treatment.

Patient kept in societyThe concept of not removing the

patient com pletely from the stresses of society is relatively new and has brought about additional problems! a well as advantages for those con­cerned with the care of the mentally ill.

The treatment of mental illness is being expanded to cover not only the patient, but also his environment as well. As mental hospitals have improved their methods of treatment over the years, a great percentage of their patients have been discharg­ed only to return because the stres­ses which caused the illness had not been removed.

Removing cause of illnessThus the emphasis in mental

hygiene today is on finding the cause

of the illness and removing i_t as well as treating the specific symptoms of the patients illness. Although this represents a radical departure from previous concepts it will, if suc­cessful, cut down on the number of patients in mental insittutions.

The concept comes extremely close to suggesting that it •* is the environment, not the patient who is in need of treatment. Such an idea is, however, hardly new.

Plato and Fromm Agree Plato suggested home care for the

mentally disturbed of his day and spoke of the effect of the culture (or what he termed “ sick world” ) on the patient. More recently, Dr. Erich Fromm in his book The Sane Society, first printed in 1955, suggests that entire societies can manifest sym p­toms of mental illness.

These views have come into more com mon usage as mental health

facilities leave an ever-increasing number of their patients in their homes, jobs, or schools, treating them for only a portion of the day. Thus we see “ day care systems” as well as day hospitals and night hospitals for mental health playing a m uch more important role in the treatment of mental disorders.

Patient left at homeLeaving the patient in his home

has several im portant advantages. M ost importantly, it leaves the patient in a familiar setting, saving him the strain of adapting to new surroundings, and keeps him in touch with society, making his ad­justm ent after the treatment much easier. It also permits the doctor or social worker to observe the patient in his environment and this may make it easier to detect the strains which led to the mental ill­ness and prevent its reoccurance.

Utopia far from presentThis will not come over-night

and we need not anticipate an early establishment of Skinner’s utopia. Nevertheless, recent advances in

the area of mental hygiene do make such “ social engineering” theore­tically possible.

It is only reasonable to assume that doctors will see they have a vested interest in the environment which their patients come into contact with outside the home situa­tion.

From the treating of the patient’ s immediate environment, the next step for psychiatrists and psycho­logists may be to attempt to treat society as a whole. Already a group of doctors in the United States has suggested that it is useless to treat a patient and then send him back to a society which lacks sanity. It may be expected that such doc­tors will follow the advice of men like Fromm and B.F. Skinner, author of Walden II, and attempt to apply their treatment to a greater per­centage of the world’s population.

Dave Taube, a third year Arts student, has been on the staff of Douglass Hospital in Verdun for the past year as a recre­ational therapist.Th is p laque is to be seen h a n g in g on the w a ll outside the Douglas

Hospital in Verdun.

Here's what it's'by Louis Erlichman

(The Varsity)

The kid waiting in O'Hare Airport was blond. Maybe 19 or 20. The boyish grin and the rumpled army fatigues somehow didn't seem to match. He was coming back from Vietnam.

"G ot out because of this rash on my ank­les. They say it's an incurable skin disease. I sold all my old socks to the other guys in my platoon. Anybody want to buy my socks?

For Canadians, it is little snatches like this which shape our attitudes to the Am e­rican draft. We look with benign compassion on the plight of our brethren south of the border: we chuckle at the “ draft-dodger blues"; sometimes we tremble with emotion. We may have friends or relatives in the A- merican Army, or views on the Vietnam war. For the most part, however, we are detached, here in our draftless country, and find it close to impossible to appreciate the effect of the draft on our American counter­parts.

Intense personal effectYoung Americans hang on every word of

draft regulation revisions with an avid inter­est. In 1963, for instance, President Kenne­dy altered the draft laws to place married, childless males in a less vulnerable position for the draft than single males. The marria­ge rate of American twenty-one-year-olds immediately rose by ten pqr cent.

These local boards really control the draft, for by their necessarily arbitrary classifi­cations they decide, subject to appeal, who serves and who doesn't. They receive monthly requests from the Department of Defense for a certain number of conscripts (23,300 are being sought this m onth), and they supply these by going through the Clas­sifications in a prescribed order. “ Delin­quents" are taken first, followed by volun­teers (those, who, rather than waiting to be called up, want to serve their two years immediately), single males without defer­ment, married childless males, and so on.

The arbitrary classification of registrants leaves doubts regarding the unbiased nature of the selection system. The status of cons­cientious objector is perhaps most under dispute.

The Selective Service Act in the United States exempts those who “ by reason of re­ligious training and belief...(are) conscien­tiously opposed to com batant training and service in the armed forces". The Act goes on, however, to explain that “ Religious training and belief in this connection means an individual's belief in a relation to a Su­preme Being involving duties superior to those arising from any human relation, but does not include essentially political, socio­logical. or philosophical views on a merely personal moral code."

Thus it would seem that atheists, agnos­tics. humanists, and those who just abhor killing people need not apply. But even this is not certain, since the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 1965 (U.S. vs, Seeger) that the real criterion is "whether a given belief that is sincere and meaningful occupies, a place in the life of its possessor parallel to that filled by the orthodox belief in G od ."

Deferments are allowed for students, agri­cultural and defense workers, teachers, and others engaged in "civilian work contributing to the maintenance of national health, safety and interest".

Draft deferments also offer students an incentive to stay in school and to produce good grades. On com ­pletion of his schooling, however, he will be made a prime candidate for induction, ran­

king behind only delinquents and volunters.Subtle discrimination

The Selective Service Act says “ there.Y shall be no discrimination for or against him (the potential draftee) because of his 1

Les Bea ux-/*

The situation at L ’Ecole Beaux-Arts isA. one that concerns not only one school, butn many schools of the same type across the province. The teaching situation has to b eci revised, not to the standard of a university! > but to that of a Fine Arts school. There*// are many teachers who are not needed, and. these people are exhausting the budget. “ We need good people, and we should clear out), those we don ’t need.” The professors are overpaid in com parison to the manual labour-cD er and they take up 80cf of the alloted budgetJj-

The system of education should be over­hauled to inform and instruct the student in a more ideal manner. Lack of commu­nication and co-ordination to outside occur- ances are leading to antiquated education and a “ waste of tim e” . There are not enough , courses for the artist, and he cannot get what he wants. Credits and basis of earning credits are in such a mess that a whole upheaval is the only method of correcting these errors. Autogestion, the idea of taking ■ one’ s own destiny in one’s own hands, seems to be the solution that will benefit both students and government. Here, the teacher will be a consultant, and only one of a group. The students will design the courses in such a way as to derive the maximum education with the minimum of tutorial help. Autogestion' will eliminate the salaries of the teachers, which are a ridiculous 80U, and increase the am ount spent on materials for the cour*^ ses, which comprise a Lilliputian 5cr. The ratio difference in the budget for the salaries and that of actual spending for the develop­ment of the students is absurd.

The actual situation concerning the occu­pation gave the students “ only one possible!) choice: to vote for the occupation” . It places the student in a position where he doesn’t have to work under the pressures of the administration and “ the syndicated teachers”

But in a set-up involving preferential ca­tegories for selection, the way is left clear for subtle discrimination against certain groups. "Delinquents” are placed at the head of the induction list while skilled workers in certain industries are given special treat­ment. The Act thus has the practical effect of discriminating against the poor man (and, consequently, in the United States, the Negro), since his opportunity to reach one of the deferred categories is distinctly less than that of someone from a higher econom ic level.

In addition, poorer boys form a dispro­portionately large part of the 20 per cent of the armed service on com bat duty, because their generally lower level of education makes them ineligible for many safer, more so­phisticated assignments. Critics decry this as a situation in which “ the rich get out, and the poor get shot at” . Sixty per cent of high school grads are drafted, but only forty per cent of college grads.

A further im pedim ent to making the draft a “ fair and just” system is the wide disparity in regional procedures. In 1965, for example, Massachusetts exem pted 8.9 per cent of its registrants as 4-F (“ physically, mentally, or morally unfit” for service in the armed forces). In the same year, the comparable figure for M ichigan was only 1.7 per cent.

The draft system can also be used as a club to silence dissent. Hershey recently proposed classifying all anti-Vietnam war protesters as delinquents so that they would be inducted as soon as possible. While the suggestion met with a chilly response, and was not officially adopted, the freedom of the draft boards enables them to provide limited im plem entation of the policy, if they wish to do so.

In spite of these apparent injustices, sup­porters of the draft feel that the system as it now stands comes close to being as fair as possible.

Opposition to conscription takes a unique form in the United States. American assum p­tions of limited government lead to basic disagreement with the use of youth as a "national resource” . And the questions then arise: Is the draft really necessary to the preservation of the American W ay? Could the resources, both human and material, be better used for non military ends? Can a man pick those laws which he feels are unjust, and refuse to obey them?

Facing the decisionThe questions are hypothetical. Right now,

almost every American 18-year-old male is still faced with a momentous decision. Does he stay in school, or try to get into a “ vital” industry, with the possibility that he will lose his deferment at any tim e? Does he volunteer for service and sign up for three, four of five years rather than the two he must serve if conscripted? And if he is conscripted, he faces the prospect of another two post-term years of regular training in the reserve, during which time he will be unable to leave the country without the permission of his local draft board. Or does he opt for six months' active service and five years in the reserve, with the chance of being called into active duty at any tim e? Does he volunteer for the draft, or wait for his plans to be disrupted at the whim of the draft board? Does he try for conscientious objector status and two years’ labour in a job of the government's choice?

And what about the stigma attached to 4-F (“ morally unfit” ) classification? What happens if he wants to serve but can't?

That's what he has to face at 18. After that, one wonders if he needs an army to turn him into a man.

Montreal Protestant School Board abolishes matriculation exams

by M a ry O 'Rourke

W ednesday night the Protestant School Board of Greater M ontreal unanimously ap­proved a m otion to abolish matriculation ex­ams in its schools as soon as it receives ac­creditation from the provincial government.

Information Officer Jim Keith told the Georgian that the main motive for the aboli­tion was the im provem ent of the quality of education, particularly at the grade 11 and 12 levels. He stated that the Board feels that it can greatly improve both quality and service in education if not strapped by the limiting influence of an exterior agency. The move has been under consideration for some time in the Board’ s Curriculum Council, but Mr. Keith said that there was, obviously, a ca­talyst for last W ednesday’ s decision: “ A d­ministrative problems and various incidents over the last few summers, such as mislaying a school’ s exam copies, have intensified the issue” .

The Board’ s decision will be implemented whenever it is approved by Quebec: “ In the words of Robert Japp, Director of Education, “ it’s going to be a tough fight” . The point has been made that this is perhaps because the abolition move is one of decentralization under a government moving toward centrali­zation in education, i.e. a counter-current.

The anticipated opposition will rest most probably on the standardization and com pari­son issues. Mr. Keith pointed out that the Board feels it will have a favorable case in that public reaction will no doubt be in sup­port, and also because the standard of educa­

tion will be of a higher standard. Additional­ly, he stated that means of comparison can be built in, for as m uch as they are worth. College Board Tests, .and free access to Go­vernment inspectors will insure general a c­creditation of the system. However the limi-

*ting influence of “ putting all the student’s eggs in one basket will be eliminated.

The testing methods would consist of d iffe­rent approaches in the Board’ s individual schools, varying the evaluation of term work, research work, labs and individual-school tests towards a pre-determined individual standard.

Mr. Keith said that in his personal view, “ The program would have to be approved by January or February at the latest to be im ­plemented this school year. Our case will be presented in Quebec in a few weeks, as soon as the docum ents are drawn up, but, it re­mains for them to give us the green light” .

Accreditation for the inauguration of the new system would be received by the PSBGM on behalf of its 20 schools, who would be res­ponsible for the general quality of education, but not for the individual curricula. In fact this would urge progress in drawing m uch more on the potential of students and staff, and in­creasing the pressure on the standard of staff contribution.

Finally, this one step would facilitate on­going improvements in education, as well as opening the way for new ones. These would constitute new courses, new approaches and personnel, i.e. a considerable improvement on the existing level of education.

Adams:‘civil disobedience misused’by Glenn M or to n

Popular m isconception of what civil disobe­dience is has often resulted in its unjust re­pudiation as being analogous to the disastrous Negro riots in Detroit and other American ci­ties.

Dr. James Luther Adams, Professor of Christian Ethics of the Divinity School at Harvard University told a group of students at this university on Friday that the “ misuse of civil disobedience” as evidenced in the riots “ has engendered protest and reactiona­ry tendencies in white society” .

Speaking on “ Civil Disobedience, Its O cca­sions and Its Limits” , Dr. Adams gave his definition of civil disobedience as we know it today: "a non-violent public disobedience of a specific law or set of laws” in order to "sensitize the consciousness of a com m unity and to change the law".

He was careful to differentiate between civil disobedience, which, he feels, is basical­ly constructive and optimistic, and what he termed “ system icdisobedience".

The latter “ functions to the detriment of society. It is a total rejection of the legal system. It materializes in forms such as city rioting and large scale looting and burning” .

Dr. Adams spoke of the excellent quality or Negro leadership today and simultaneously of the mistake of Black Power advocacy.

An atmosphere of repressiveness could concievably cause American public opinion to reactivate even “ an overexaggeration of M c- Carthvism” . Civil disobedience, on the other hand, does not resort to force and is not a clandestine evasion of the law, nor infidelity to law, for it willingly accepts punishment at the hands of the law. It is morally righteous in that it “ expresses a sense of moral obliga­

tion to disobey a specific law for the sake of conscience...”

Further defending the credibility of civil disobedience even as an "abnorm al procedure interfering with the normal functioning of so­ciety” , Dr. Adams compared it to the legally and politically well-established jury system. “ The jury” , he pointed out, “ is an establish­ed instrument for the violation of law.” Like civil disobedience, it serves, in its capacity as decision-maker, as a “ mediating instru­mentality between the com m unity and the sta­te, continually offering m odifications of the law.”

Stressing the importance of group partici­pation in civil disobedience, Dr. Adams also emphasized quality before quantity, and asked for a com m itm ent from both sides: the trus­tees of the law and the civil disobedients.

professors will strike unless demands for a wage increase are met.

The faculty members voted 138-72- W ed­nesday night to endorse “ the concern, spirit and resolve" of a strike proposal present by Assistant Professor Peter Seary.

Seary suggested the professors refuse to mark final examination papers unless the wage for an Assistant Professor was raised to 13,000 dollars a year from 9,500 dollars a year, with comparable increases in other ranks.

The professors suggest the provincial go­vernment increase the school’ s operating grant to finance the salary raise.

Limousines, bu ses d e m o l i s h e dTHE FULL LINE OF

Students, taxi drivers demonstrateagainst Murray Hill monopoly

by M arv RotrandSome ten Murray Hill limousines,

four buses, and a C-JMS news car were smashed or burned as about 400 cab drivers and 1100 students dem ons­trated at Dorval Airport W ednesday night.

The demonstration was held in protest against the virtual monopoly of taxi clientele by the Murray Hill Limousine Service at the airport.

Stopped by police, the long procession of cabs blocked all entrances to the airport. Many passengers were stranded in the terminal. The demonstrators marched to the air terminal building where two Murray Hill cars were set on fire and a protest demonstration began. Four hundred well-armed R. C .M .P ., Provincial, and Dorval police quickly dispersed the demonstrators and sent them back to the cabs. A few students and drivers were detained but it was unknown whether or not they were to be charged.

The taxi drivers and sym pathetic uni­versity and CEGEP students assem­bled at the University of Montreal, where they were addressed by Mr. Archambault, leader of the M ouvem ent Liberation de Taxi, and other cabbie spokesmen. Archambault stated the cab­bies’ basic grievances: that Murray Hill had exclusive passenger rights at many of M ontreal’ s major hotels, as well as the right to solicit business in any hotel lobby. “ Whereas a licensed cab can carry a passenger only to the airport, Murray Hill with only a public carrier's permit may carry peo­ple both ways.’ ’

One of the cabbies told this reporter that the taxi business in Montreal works

on the principle of jungle law, the survival of the fittest. He believes only a mass demonstration can do anything to alleviate the drivers' financial crisis. He cited the 1958 cab demonstrations when 1400 cabs surrounded former Mayor Sarto Fournier's home. (Mayor Fournier was the cause of all the pre­sent cabbie problems, according to the drivers, because of his practice of turning out taxi permits by the hun­dreds.) The mayor had banned all cabs from St. Catherine Street, unless they had a load, two weeks before Christ­mas. After com plaining to the mayor, the drivers got no results. But when they paraded around city hall and block­aded the Mayor's home they soon had the new by-law repealed. M any drivers remember the 1958 protest and are hoping that the administration will take action against Murray Hill.

Contrary to reports by most of M ont­real's newspapers and radio stations, the vast majority of cabbies knew w h a t ' they were demonstrating about and were not spurred on by a group of ring­leaders. The majority of students in­cluding nearly a hundred from l’Ecole Secondaire Mont de LaSalle, in Laval, turned up in a show of solidarity be­tween workers and students.

No Murray Hill employees were to be found around the airport and as the cabbies could find no one to listen to their grievances they began a de­liberate slow return to Montreal, back­ing up traffic on Cote de Liesse for miles. At about 10 P.M . on the Decarie Expressway, two large Murray Hill bus­es were stopped and destroyed. As the demonstrators returned downtown

Som e of the 1100 students w ho demonstrated with the striking cab- drivers. They turned up as a show of solidarity between the workers and students.

and many cabs left, the remainder of the procession drove to the studios of CJM S. Denied air time to express their views, a few drivers set fire to parts of the station, causing a few hundred dollars worth of damage, and knocking the station from the air for six minutes.

Two Berkeley students fasting to protest Reagan’s attacks

BE RK ELEY (CUPI)Two Berkeley student lead­ers, discouraged by the re­lative ineffectiveness of con­ventional protest at the Ca­lifornia school, have begun a fast.

The two, Konstantin Ber- landt, editor of the Daily Ca-. lifornian, and Charles Pal­mer, student president, say they will end the fast when Governor Ronald Reagan pro­mises to “ cease and desist his political attacks on the university."

“ We feel we have exhaust­ed, through petition and pea­ceful protest, the regular channels of appeal," said Palmer.

Berlandt continued the thought: “ We see the univer­sity pressured by politicians and many people of the state, repressed by the regents in open disregard for faculty au­tonomy, and further weakened

by the student apathy and fa­culty evasion.”

Both rejected violence as a satisfactory tool o f protest.

M onday afternoon (O ct 28), several faculty members called a press conference to announce they had secured 475 signatures from the 1,000 faculty members on campus, endorsing and supporting the actions of chancellor Roger Hayns “ in dealing with ac­tivities designed to disrupt campus functions.”

Heyns called in the police to break up a series of sit- ins at Berkeley last week. The protests centred around a university decision not to grant credit status to a cour- so on racism given Black Panther leader Eldridge Cleaver.

Over 4,000 students were boycotting classes Tuesday after a strike vote the day

before called to protest the university handling, of the Cleaver case.

Pig makes goodW ATERLOO (CUP)

DeHavilland Pig was awarded an honorary degree by stu­dents at the University of Waterloo in a mock convo­cation ceremony to protest the university’s awarding of honorary degrees to two members of the m ilitary-in­dustrial complex.

The awards were given to O.M. Solandt, former direc­tor-general of defense re­search for the government and former chairman of the defense research board, and to M . McLaughlin, chairman of the board of General M o­tors.

The mock ceremony bes­towed an honorary doctor of engineering degree on the 50 pound pig in the back of a pick-up truck just outside the stadium where the “ legitima­te" convocation was taking place.

DeHavilland was none to happy about his degree and escaped the platform a couple of times. He refused to pose for photographers as well.

The religious community and American politics

"A m e r ica ’s wounds go deep!"

reprinted from "The Religious Com m unity and American Politics", an essay prepared by Clergy and Laymen Concerned About Vietnam.

The coming presidential election of 1968 is the saddest in living m e­mory. As members of America's churches and synagogues, we can go no further without expressing our sorrow, and searching our hopes for the future. The nation, to us, seems grievously wounded, in need of com ­fort, healing, and reconciliation. Great tasks lie ahead of it. It cannot afford to grow weary.

Some among us lived through the nightmare of Germany in 1932. Too many events in the United States, they tell us, now repeat with awful similarity the haunting m ood, the temptations, the confusion, the pas­sions of that bitter time. The good, resp isible, religious people o f Ger­man thirty-six years ago, they warn, did not foresee what would happen to them. The Germans then thought themselves the most ratio­nal, most responsible, most hard­working, most civilized nation in the world.

The good people of Germany went to the election in 1932 desiring law and order above all else. Nothing in their previous experience prepared them for what was to follow. The German people were extremely anti­communist. They wanted a halt to the rioting, the demonstrations, the fires, the broken glass in the streets. They voted on election day, without exactly intending it, against dem o­cracy, in favor of a kind of law.

The traditions of our own country are different from those of Germany. Yet many of our traditions are not comforting: not slavery, not segre­gation, not bossism, not lynchings, not assassinations, not the taste for quick and bloody violence that grew with the westward frontier and has been constantly nourished in our po­pular entertainment. We are not proud of such manifestations of our national life; we do not think they show us as we truly are.

How accurate is this view of our­

selves? How truthful are we about ourselves? The call o f this election year is, at least, to face the truth. We are at the moment prisoners of confusion and rapidly alternating pas­sions. We are afraid that the truth will tear us asunder.

What is the truth about ourselves?

The fruits of w a rToday our most bitter grief is the

war in Vietnam. Almost no one re­joices in the war. For some, it is a necessary evil. For others, among whom we must include ourselves, the war has not seemed even neces­sary. Yet, whatever the final judg­ment to be rendered on the war, no other anxiety more clearly exposes our national life — revealing the sorrow and shame we would rather hide.

More than twenty-nine thousand young Americans have died. Over a hundred thousand have been wounded, many of them maimed for life. Hun­dreds o f thousands of Vietnamese have died in their own blood. One in every seven Vietnamese, at least two million in all, have been driven from their homes. We have burned, bom bed and scorched that beautiful and verdant land. More bom b tonnage has been dropped on that little na­tion than the United States used du­ring World War II in both the Euro­pean and Pacific Theaters. Indeed, more than 100 pounds for every man, woman and child in North and South Vietnam.

Our sorrows multiply. What shall we say to the families of the young men who return in coffins, or without their limbs. What shall we say when peace is at last achieved and -- as now seems likely -- the terms of peace are not significantly different than they would have been before massive American escalation in 1965? What shall we tell the family of the fallen man? That he died for what he thought was right, no man

can dispute. One can not steal away the heroism of .the brave, the sacri­fice o f the fallen and the maimed. While we cannot subscribe to the pa­gan notion that the blood o f good men dying in an unjust cause makes that cause one whit more just, we share the anguish of the families of the fal­len.

And what of the young men who are also heroes of conscience, who cannot bring themselves to believe that this war is like any other — m a­ny young men who would have wil­lingly gone to fight Hitler but who refuse to fight in Vietnam? Many, to be sure, think all our wars are alike; for them sons fight in Vietnam as fathers fought in World War II. But many young men refuse to fight in Vietnam. The Vietnamese are not the enemy, for them, as the Germans and Japanese were the "enem y" for many of their parents. What shall we say to the young men who languish now in prisons because they were not granted the status of Conscientious Objectors? What shall we say to tho­se young men who flee America, as perhaps their grandfathers or great­grandfathers once fled Europe, to avoid what seems to them unjust conscription and immoral coercion? What of the young men who, despite heavy propaganda to the contrary, came to their hour of conscience in the armed services and subsequently have refused to fight?

The courage and integrity of the conscientious soldier and the cons­cientious young man who refuses to fight cannot - given our religious heritage -- be impugned. While our hearts are anguished for those who bear the risk and possible pain of military service in Vietnam, as re­ligious people, we must stand with those young men -- who are less understood -- whose conscience will not allow them to participate in the war.

Finally, we suffer with those m il­lions of young men who cannot make up their minds what to do. We un­derstand their restlessness and their desperation. They, too, are casual­ties o f this bitter war. For how many vears shall our nation suffer the

scars intiicted upon its young by this war?

How it saddens us that the candi­dates for the highest office in the land speak so seldom of this first of all issues before our people. They seem indifferent to the anguish of the younger generation. How has our nation grown so callous, so cold?

The cost in domestic strifeThe mood of the country meanwhi­

le, is made uglier by the frustrating war, and serious work at home goes undone. Billions of dollars so despe­rately needed at home for domestic rebuilding are simply not available. The benefits of government taxes redound upon the wealthy and the middle class -- in roads, autom obi­les, airports, splendid suburban schools, new colleges, and the indus­tries of war and space. Our govern­ment meets the needs of wealthy far­mers, industrialists, and the dwel­lers in the suburbs. The cities and the poor seem systematically exclu­ded. They can wait no longer. But at the moment, the energies of count­less talented Americans -- and over half a million young men -- are tur­ned towards Vietnam. The protests and demonstrations against the war have frightened millions of Ameri­cans. They do not understand the new m ood and the new sensibilities of the young - their long hair, their dress, their music, their dislike of the com petitive, self-denying ethic of an older generation.

Class conflicts have been sharpe ned by the war and by the unrest the war has fomented. Some Americans have been so enraged by a cry for peace that they have punched de­monstrators in the face; others have been so outraged by support for the war that they have thrown rocks or disrupted speeches.

The hour for creative deedsThe people of the United States are

fond of imagining a world threatened by a spreading red menace. We do not see that in the last thirty years our own influence, not always on the side of justice and liberty, has spread more rapidly and more ex­tensively than that of any single world power. Our technology, our markets, our system of education, our military-industrial, complex ha­ve, at almost a geometric rate, drawn a web of econom ic and politi­cal power toward our land. This is the reason that our com plicity in e- very day’ s evil is beyond any expe­rience in our past.

We do not raise our voices in vin­dictiveness or bitterness. We only wish to see our nation as it is -- to face the shattering truth. We are no longer innocent, as we thought. We have been awakened. The plague is not in alien institutions, but in our own. We must remake them or we perish. Through conceited political creativity the nightmare in which we walk must be dissipated. In the past, our forefathers devised institutions to meet the needs of justice and li­berty and brotherhood; no less must w e .

The leaves are falling from the trees. Many o f our brothers are in pain. The winter comes. Take heart! Ahead, awaits another spring.

A contrast of modern Mexico : the t r e a tm e n t of its youth

M EXICO CITY (CPS) -T h e con­trasts of modern M exico are probably clearest in the way M exico has treated the youth of the world coming to the Olympics, and the way it has treated its own youth, the students. The O- lympics are being televised around the world, but one sees little of the M exi­can students.

This contrast was sharpest Oct. 2 when the National Student strike coun­cil called a meeting in the plaza of' a housing project near the center of. M e­xico City. Several thousand striking students, sympathizers, and residents of the housing project gathered to hear the strike leaders speak.

As the meeting was going on soldiers backed up by armored cars began to ap­proach the plaza from the two sides not flanked by buildings. Suddenly two fla ­res appeared in the sky and the army began to shoot into the crowd. Forty minutes later the crowd was dispersed, and in the plaza and the surrounding apartments, also targets of the soldiers, lay a hundred dead and five hundred wounded.

The official version is that a sniper fired on a soldier from an apartment building drawing fire from the army, which then shot back killing 35 unarmed members of the crowd.

Resort to gunfireEven if, for once, the official version

is true, what happened is that the M e­xican government finally resorted to gun fire to suppress a newly formed student movem ent which it hasn’ t been able to control, through favors, prom i­ses, or threats. The m ovem ent dates back to July 23, when the students of two high schools were having a rumble of no political significance, which was broken up with more than the usual po­lice brutality. In response to this the students decided to stage a protest ral­ly three days later. The police, rather than letting the protest run its course, waded in and broke it up with tear gas, clubs and bullets.

This set off several days of dem ons­trations which were again broken up by police. In one case the students occu ­pying a school were ousted by police

blowing down the door with a bazooka. The students responded .by heaving rocks, hijacking city buses, and later in the demonstration burning barricades. After three days of demonstrations, things calmed down and the students demanded the firing of the police chief, liberty for those arrested, and payments to the families of those who had been killed by the police.

Student strike calledWhen these demands had not been met

by Aug. 9, a student strike was called by the 80,000-student National Univers­ity, the Polytechnic Institute, and the numerous high schools associated with it. The strike soon began to spread a- round the country as other schools heard about the m ovem ent in M exico City and sent representatives.

The s(udents formed a national strike council which added to the demands to be met before the students would re­turn to classes. Included in the new demands were the abolition of the police riot squad, the release of all political prisoners, and the repeal of M exico’ s “ social dissolution” law, which is used to suppress political dissent.

In addition to setting demands, the Strike Council, com posed of represent­atives elected from each striking school, coordinated the activity of the strikers.

The students passed out hundreds of thousands of leaflets in the working class districts, realizing that without public support the movement would be easily crushed. Many neighborhood meetings were held in which students would explain to strike to small groups.

Unrestrained brutalityHowever, just as the Berkeley and

Columbia movem ents went deeper than Telegraph Avenue and Morningside Heights, the student movem ent here is a product of more than unrestrained police brutality. Generally the school facilities have been crowded and govern­ment expenditure on education has been relatively low even for Latin America. Often the professors had professional careers outside the University and took little interest in their students.

Pelletier praises student proposals

One of the most widely-aired grie­vances is that the University is only for those who have money. The stu­dents are keenly aware of the role of the University in maintaining M exico’ s sharp class structure.

For more than a month after the start of the strike, things went along peace­fully - the students having meetings and demonstrations and trying to sway public opinion; the government saying it would listen to the students, legiti­mate demands and that it was willing to talk.

Hard line takenThen suddenly the government began

to take a hard line. On Sept. 18 the ar­my was sent into the National Universi­ty to dislodge students who had been using the idle facilities as a strike head­quarters. Although the army met abso­lutely no resistance, all those found on the campus were arrested. The se*veral days of street demonstrations which fol­lowed were swiftly repressed.

The government moved in to occupy the Polytechnic Institute on Sept 23, Po­lice and troops succeeded in occupying the campus only after fighting their way through burning buses, M olotov cock­tails, and scattered sniper fire.

Uneasy truceThe uneasy truce following the occu ­

pation lasted until the massacre of Oct. 2. In the days following, hundreds of students ’who attended the meeting or who had been active in the strike were arrested and charged with crimes ran­ging from minor offenses to homicide.

Strike activity, because of the repres­sion, has come to a nearly complete stop, at least for the duration of the 0 - lympics.

The outcom e of the strike is hard to predict. The lull in activity during the Olym pic Games is partly due to the quandary in which the students find themselves. They have asked for libe­ral reforms, which they have pushed by the liberal tactics of demonstrating and leaflettinv. But instead of the usual response of com mittees and talks, they have been met with extreme repression.

Whenever its end, the strike has had great effect on students who, becoming political radicals overnight, have seen for the first time how the M exican go­vernment operates.

M O N TRE A L (CUP) - Secretary of State Gerard Pelletier, in perhaps a glimpse of what is to come from his department, yes­terday praised what he said were student proposals for a 12 month academ ic year and conscription of youth to work for a year in ci­vil service.

Speaking to the Montreal Chambre de Com ­merce, Pelletier evoked everything from the generation gap to we-were-once-20-too in a' condemnation of the older generation which refuses “ to face the world wide dispute" in which they are the central issue.

“ Just because young people are suggesting a world which seems absurd to us," he said, "we react most often with com plete negati­vity. What is more serious is that we react by trying to impose on them our conception of the world and our ideas of life."

Pelletier cautioned against a government youth program that might function as a “ ploy” to force youths into status quo positions. Ra­ther the policy must “ help” young people

“ give expression to their ideas” .He called the short school year a “ relic"

of a middle class world and an agricultural society where students had to help in the sum­mer harvest.

He proposed instead a 12-m onth academ ic year, hut did not mention free post-secondary education to make up for lost summer earn­ings.

The year of service would enable students "to work with their hands and with their brains to build their country ... so they can play their part in creating a more just socie­ty-"

The econom ic consequences of the two pro­grams, of course, "are unknown because no one has studied them in detail yet."

“ Frustration and unrest among young peo­ple," he concluded, "w ill persist as long as they have not found, with our help, the ways in which they can increase their participation in society and the visions o f the future which make a new world possible."

Georgians to finish season

The football Georgians clo­se out their regular season in the Cental Canada Intercolle- ciate Football Conference when they visit the Loyola Warriors tomorrow afternoon at 2:00 P.M . The winless Garnet and Gold team takes on the club which clinched the C .C.I.F.C. Eastern division title when they walloped M ac­Donald 46-0 last weekend.

Despite the dismal record the Georgians have produced many people who look like stars of the future. Among them are tough Tom m y Dyce, former N.D.G. sensation who is apparently through for the season with a separated shoulder, Jim Edge, the hus­tling lineman who was swit­ched to fullback to replace Dyce and Alan Rafael, high school whiz who has looked good at quarterback.

After the Loyola game, the Georgians have another game slated against a Western d i­vision team. The location and opponent are yet to be decided.

Sport Comment by Steve Holperin

Sir George must adopt recruiting policyLast Saturday afternoon, the Loyola Warriors clobbered

MacDonald 46-0 to clinch the Eastern Division cham pion­ship of the C .C.I.F.C. Loyola has com pletely outclassed the rest of the league - proving to be its strongest club in years. Marion and white athletes threaten to make a sham ­bles of the races for Ottawa St. Lawrence Conference ti­tles in both hockey and basketball, as they did last year, and there is no reason to believe that they won't. Georgian teams will have to resign themselves to the fact that they will be relegated to second best, if that, in these two ma­jor varsity sports.

The reason for Loyola's fantastic successes is obvious. The athletics department of that institution have come to realize that their school will never set any academ ic worlds on fire, and the only way that Loyola will gain na­tional recognition is through athletic excellence. They have gone out and through perfectly legitimate salesmanship recruiting. They have conned enough athletes in these three sports to continue their education at the W est-End campus.

They have talked such Montreal junior football stars as Dave Golding, Stan Paris, Frank Belvedere and Kenny Sears not only into studying at Loyola but into playing football for the Warriors. They have tapped the vast re­sources of New York State and surrounding areas to build a basketball team of national championship calibre.

Building for the future of their outstanding hockey team, the athletics department has recruited much sought after junior sensation Pat Grace, a goaltender from Sudbury Ontario, though two of the league’s top goalies, Andy Moli- no and Brian Hughes are returning to Loyola.

Through all of this, Sir-George has stood around, sha­king their heads with cries of “ foul play’ ’ on the part of

their cross-town rivals.Adm ittedly, it is tough to sell Sir George. With no cam ­

pus or residence facilities, many an athlete has decided to matriculate elsewhere. But let us remember that this Univ­ersity is growing in size and stature every day, and there is no reason why a good hard sell recruiting program can­not put Garnet and Gold teams right up there with the Na­tional Giants.

College athletics has come a long way in the past few years. Paralleling its developm ent has been that of Sir George Williams. Gone are the days when this school was an extension program of the Y .M .C .A . In those days, the philosophy of Sir George athletics, akin to that of the “ Y ” , was to allow everyone a chance to play, with no due regard to actual ability. Today, much can be ganed not only by fielding teams but by fielding winning teams.

In his report to the athletics council in 1962, Athletics Director A. Douglas Insleay stated that “ a successful foot­ball team would bring much honor and acclaim to Sir George W illiam s’ ’ . No doubt this is true, but unfortunately, a team such as that which is currently representing the school has a reverse effect.

We would hope that the athletics staff has learned a les­son from the performance of the Varsity football squad, and that they will take a leaf from the book of Loyola, which, through athletics, has gained a genuine respect from her peers among Canadian Llniversities. The time has co­me for the men who count in Sir George sports to stop sitting back, waiting and hoping for the super athlete to wander into the offices on Bishop Street.

Frank Merriwell and Bob Berry have both finished col­lege.

‘the freedom and responsibility mean a lot to me’Dave Shelly, a London Life representative in Montreal

" I n my last year of university I talked to recruiters from several d ifferent types of c o m p a n ie s . A l l o f them offered jobs w ith training pro­grams which would even­tually lead to a pos itionNof responsibility. But I wanted something more. I wanted something that would let me get out and meet people. I wanted a position that would give me responsibility right away and at the same time a degree of independence and freedom. In other words, I wanted something more than just a job. That's why I joined London Life."

Dave Shelly graduated from Loyola College in economics in 1966. A fter a three-month training course, he chose the agency he wanted to work in from among the 100 operated by London Life across Can­ada. In the fo llow ing months, he established himself as a successful life insurance underwriter. If you are inter­ested in a career that offers you something more, ask your placement officer about Lon­don Life sales positions. Or w rite to the Personnel Depart­ment, London Life Insurance Co., London, Ontario.

the georgian, FR ID AY, NOVEM BER 1, 1968/15;

Season opens in one week

Coach Dave Dies has more or less finalized his offensive lines for the test against the University of Sher­brooke, Friday, November 8th. The first line will consist of smooth skating center, Tony O’Brien, shifty left winger and last season's co- M .V.P. Bill Ellyett and the “ Rookie of the Year” for 1967-68, right win­ger John Murray. Last season’ s leading scorer Jim Webster will cen­ter the 2nd line with left winger Barry Cullen and right winger Gary Thornton. The third line will consist of promising rookie Phil Scheuer on left wing, hard working Bob Philip on right wing and either Mike Bankoff or Neil Fernandes at center. Dies also has wingers Warren Gill and Bob Schofield available for duty.

On defense, it looks like Bryce Liberty, Larry Meehan and Ray Le- Couffe as definite starters with Greg Harmon, Brian Bedard and Len Lewin battling it out for the 4th and 5th defensive spots.

In goal it is still a toss-up whether Tom Anderson or John Morrison will be the number one man. The edge appears to go to Anderson who is looking much sharper in the last few practices.

T oby O’Brien, a 4th year Com ­merce student, was elected Captain for the 2nd year in a row. Serving as alternate captains will be Ray LeCouffe, Larry Meehan and Jim Webster.
