UNIIVERSOTY OF WATERLOO, Waterloo, Ontario tuesday, january 28, “9969

The administration has announced plans to re- place its board of governors and senate with a one- tier system of government. Both bodies have given approval in principle.

The new body will be the final authority for both financial and academic matters although an exact definition of its responsibilities is still to be worked out.

No date for the change has been announced and many major problems are yet to be worked out before approval in principle will mean any- thing in practise.

The administration has said it wishes to have the new system incorporated into the univer- sity’s act at the 1969-70 session of the Ontario legis- lature.

In principle, the new governing body is to in- clude representatives of faculty, students and alum- ni, with about an equal number of non-university people initially chosen from the present board of governors, plus administrators including at least the president, vicepresidents and treasurer.

The proposal was accepted in a joint meeting of committees of the board and senate which were studying university government. The board ap- proved it’s committee’s report in secret session January 16.

Senate held a special meeting Thursday and approved the same proposal. Senate made one for- mal change and talked of another. Both were in- corporated into the administration’s press release termed “the complete text of the resolution which has been approved by the board of governors and senate.”

While there was some opposition expressed in

Senate okays c

senate to the proposed single tier, it passed unoppo- sed.

In the interim, both the board and senate have agreed to seat representatives of the other body, as well as some students.

The details are to be worked out by a joint committee and taken to a joint meeting of board and senate at an unspecified time. Only the final meeting is scheduled to be open.

Federation president John Bergsma hailed the announcement as a breakthrough. He felt it “in- corporated most of the things in the minority report on university government and the student brief. ”

He saw the single-tier government structure as important. “This is what we’ve been fighting for so long,” he said.

Some student councillors and the student mem- bers of the university government study committee (which reported in October) don’t share Bergs- ma’s views.

Tom Patterson, council member and former vice- president, said, “As it stands we really know nothing about the new idea except that it will be called single-tier government.”

He went on to say that the details so far present- ed indicate that one-tier government can be used to the detriment of students, faculty and staff. staff.

“Corporate interests will still control the new body, and they will also gain control of academic decision-making-something denied to them in the traditional two-tiered government,” said Patterson.

Patterson, student reps to the university govern- ment committee and some student councillors all felt the form of single-tier approved in principle was far from the model they see for democratic government of the university.

Thursday, the senate approved the report of its committee studying the university govern- ment report calling for a one- tier system.

T.A. Brzustowski, chairman of the special committee, intro- duced his report to the senate, saying there had been considerable reflection since the debate on university government in october. He said that there are three questions : governing structure, selection of officers and the influence of structure on acade-

mic programs. The university government (unigov report tried to answer only two of these.

Bruzustowski feels the time for a change to a one-tier structure has come, and that the matter should be dealt with straight away, rather than given to another time-consuming commit- tee.

Chancellor Ira Needles stated the board of governors was in favor of a one-tier structure and there was also strong sentiment in the board for action.

Wynn Rees, principal of Reni-

iis intermin ead Academic vicepresident Howard

Petch has been appointed interim administration president of the University of Waterloo.

He will hold this post until a new president is appointed, but no longer than 18 months. He will replace president Gerry Hagey who resigned last november.

Petch joined the university in

Howard Petch

September 1967. He had previously been principal of Hamilton College at McMaster University.

Shortly after coming to the university he served as acting president while Hagey underwent therapeutic treatment after follow- ing a throat operation.

Hagey is the founding president of the university. He resigned in november saying his throat con- dition did not permit him to use his voice as effectively as he felt necessary.

Earlier this month, he asked the board of governors to accept january 31 as the date of his resignation. Board chairman Carl Pollock was given authority to appoint an interim president. Pollock announced Petch’s appoint- ment yesterday.

A permanent replacement for Hagey seems a long way off. The board proposed a 14-man search committee with student and facul- ty representation. However student council has rejected the commit- tee and the Faculty Association has expressed reservations about it.

son college, saw university auto- nomy from the provincial govern- ment as the outstanding issue. He suggested that students, unionists and professions should be part of the board, since these groups have the power to defend autonomy. He also raised the question of the relationship of the colleges to a one-tier government, and asked exactly how the colleges would be represented.

The representative of the alumni, J.H. Shaw, pointed out that the alumni had been left out of the report, even though they play a very important part in univer- sity-community relations. He then proposed a motion of recognition of the alumni as part of university.

Arts dean Jay Minas had some reservations about a one-tier structure of government, thinking it was a good idea in principle, but that the likely influence of financial considerations on aca- demic matters was bad.

Academic vicepresident, Howie Petch, defended the single-tier government. He said lay mem- bers should but often don’t have an understanding of academic matters, while on one governing body they could still exert their influence publicly as defenders of university autonomy. Petch also suggested the formation of an academic council to deal with such things as the college of environmental studies, for which the senate is inadequate. Obser- vers criticized this suggestion as equivalent to two tiers.

Needles felt no threat from the merger of academic and financial spheres. It would do the board members good to be exposed to the academic side of university, he said.

Shaw’s amendment and Brzus- towski’s motion were brought up and both passed unanimously.

Groundhog chairman Tom Ashman grits his teeth as he is forced to revise his concert schedule. The Four Seasons were cancelled, the Vanilla Fudge moved to thursday and Tiny Tim filled the empty spot on Saturday. See story page two.

new admin In an address at the campus

center friday afternoon, Martin Loney rapped the administra- tion’s proposed one-tier university government plan as being a de- finite step backwards.

He dismissed the student re- presentatives on the board as tokenism. “The proposal doesn’t pinpoint the amount of student representation. It was presented without discussion by student council or in a general meeting.

“Based on what it says about the present board of about 40 people letting in six student ob- servers, one can only assume that student representatives on the new board would merely be sops.”

He contended the merging of an academic body, the senate, with the board of governors will give control of academic matters to non-academics.

“The traditional fight of faculty is for control of academic affairs. This plan will remove such affairs from their control.”

“Why should a board dealing with academia have representa-

tives from the community?” he asked. Loney also pointed out

structure staff will be involved on the new board, according to the first page of the university press release.

“But on the third page, it says that the new governing body will be made up of faculty, students, and alumni, with no mention of staff. ” “In addition it will con- tain much of the present board of governors. On the first page, it admits such boards are domina- ted by business and financial leaders. These people are not representative of the commu- nity.”

Rather than token representa- tion, Loney feels students are cap- able of handling 50 percent of departmental matters. “Students, for instance, know what kind of residences they like to live in. They are the experts on teaching ability because they have to sleep through lecturers.

“If the administration succeeds in putting this so-called reform over on the students, it will re- present a triumph of ignorance over apa thy, ” he concluded.

The complexities of booking en- tertainment for major concerts has produced a drastic revision in the Groundhog weekend program.

Friday it was announced the Four Seasons concert had been cancelled. the Vanilla Fudge would be appearing thusday in- stead of Saturday and Tiny Tim would appear Saturday instead of the Vanilla Fudge.

The events leading up to this announcement began last march when the original committee under Louis Silcox offerred to buy Di- onne Warwick. Negotiations were begun by federation entertain- ment coordinator Joe Recchia and were proceeding well until Miss Warwick became pregnant and stopped all concert appearances.

Next artist on the list was Ray Charles. Negotiations were start- ed but event,ually fell through.

In September Tom Ashman, next Groundhog chairman decided to book Jose Feliciano. The offer to buy was accepted and the con- tracts were obtained, signed and returned to the agency in Califor- nia towards the end of October.

However after a month had pass- ed and the contracts had not been returned, Recchia informed Chartwell agencies that if the con- tracts were not returned by No- vember 30 the concert would be scrapped. Although the contracts had been signed by the federation the cant ract becomes void if not, signed and returned within two weeks.

Recchia said. “if we had not pushed the agency they might have sat on the contract until a week before the concert and then cancellt*d leaving us with no con- cert.”

After Feliciano cancelled ne- gotiations were begun with the Four Seasons and the Vanilla Fudge. Contract terms were settl- ed upon and contracts were re- ceived, signed and returned be- fore january. As it was necessary to begin publicity before the con- tracts were returned and as some guarantee that the groups would appear was necessary, tele- grams of confirmation were ex- changed with both groups. This in effect is the same t,hing as a contract.

Publicity was begun and tick- ets were placed on sale on campus and downtown.

At the same time Recchia was engaged in a verbal battle with both agencies tryirig to get the contracts returned. The agen- cies assured and reassured him that both groups would be present.

On Wednesday january 22, the first sign of trouble turned up. The Vanilla Fudge had been asked to play the Ed Sullivan Show the sunday after their appearance here. The contract terms stated the group was not to play any dates two days prior to their ap- pearance on the Ed Sullivan Show. When CBS found out about the Canadian date they flatly said no. In addition, the Fudge were infor- med that if they didn’t play the

Sullivan show they would never appear on CBS again.

This obviously placed the group in a bad position regarding Wat- erloo concert. A television appear- ance is a valuable type of promo- tion for any up and coming group. Lon Harriman, an agent in New York, spent two days fighting the overlords in CBS.

Thursday word was received from William Morris Agency in New York that the Four Seasons were reluctant to play the date in Canada unless another date could be found. They are playing two dates in Ohio on Saturday and sun- day february 1 and 2 and the date in Canada complicated their tra- vel plans. Thursday afternoon it seemed very unlikely they would

appear. Thursday evening Recchia re-

ported this development and sug- gested switching the Vanilla Fudge to thursday; he reported Tiny Tim was available at an unusually low price for Saturday.

Telegrams of confirmation were exchanged friday morning.

Legal action can not be taken against the Four Seasons now as it was Waterloo, legally speaking. who cancelled the concert. How- ever their actions will be reported to the National Entertainment Conference, an organization of about 300 American universities which exchange information about the cost, cooperativeness, prompt- ness and quality of various concert acts. The actions will also be re- ported to booking conference of Canadian and American colleges to be held here in may.

Indifference reigned supreme as Martin Loney, president-elect of t,he Canadian Union of Students. visited Waterloo friday in advance of the CUS referendum tomorrow. Sponsored by the board of external relations. Loney spoke. or rathei tried to speak at various locations on campus.

In the engineering common room, Loney began with a stand- ard five-minute address outlining the benefits and priorities of the union. He mentioned fieldwork- ers, and the gains of the CUS Ot- tawa lobby: travel and insurance plans, tax exemptjons and student loans.

“We hope to initiate cultural exchange programs,” he added. “The first one has been set up-- an exchange with Cuba. Twenty student,s will go the first year. with priority given to those who speak Spanish. ” He stressed the role of local student councils in helping to implement CUS prog- rams on individual campuses.

“Certainly we have a bad pub- lic image. But at least people are now talking about universities and the role of students in the com- munity, ’ ’ he continued. “In this respect, CUS has been very bene- ficial as a forum to open the is- sue.”

He said students must question the type of education they’re getting and the type of society in which they must find jobs.

In a question period that follow- ed, Loney conversed with about six people in the common room.

He felt an ideal university sltua- tion would help people to learn how to live and understand the society

“University education is far too narrow, ’ ’ he said. “Eng@eers should be able to take arts sub- jects. But it should go the other way too. For instance, T’m in arts: 1 don’t know how electricity works and I should be able to find out. ”

they’re living in. The emphasis should be off education just for a job afterwards; and everyone who wants to should be able to go tcr university, including Indians, women, and t,he working class.

“Higher education as an im- provement of people is more im- portant than the production of more color TV sets.” He empha- sized CUS should be more of a coalition of political thought than is presently the case. Because of the narrow political outlook, CUS is cutting itself off from too many people.

A listener commented it was very unusual to find a representa- tive of CUS in the engineering common room. Apparently, most of those present felt the same way, as they played cards, ate

their lunches. and caused a buzz oi conversation that threatened to drown Loney out.

However, the response in the cortimon room was nothing com- pared to that in the arts coffeg shop later on. Loney? address made nary a dent on the 60 or so people there. No one ljstened and there were no questions. Loney sat at a table and talked to any- one who was interested enough to sit down.

Commenting on the reaction on campus. he said: “Obviously, it is indicative of the apath! sur- rounding the referendum. It is interesting that I got more res- ponse in engineering than in arts. ” He repeated his contention that CUS should be a movement for social change based on a left-liber- al coalition.

Student radicals are getting course credits for *.doing their radical thing” while the profs say it is their business and the admin- istration don’t know and don’t care.

A certain few profs are giving leitist and radical courses that are in a few cases difficult to jus- tify with the calendar descriptions. Among those offering radical courses are Jim Anderson (poli- sci 1. Donald Gordon ’ poli-sci ), Ron Lambert ( sociology) and Leo Johnson ( history).

Johnson’s Canadian History (302) which has one seminar group. quite legit,imately, studying the

These courses were initiated by radical students getting to- gether with the profs and deciding on some radical topic of study for the course.

History of the Canadian Left. The students in these courses or

seminar groups are all or mainly radicals. Some of these radicals were on the verge of dropping out because they felt all courses valueless before t,hey were steered to the radical courses by assist- ant arts deans Jack Gray and Ken Ledbet,ter.

These courses are generally considered the concern of the prof unless his department feels the course is not up to standard. Des- pite the fact that a couple of these courses are obvious distortions of the content indicated in the cal- endar. the arts deans are not at, all bothered.

The university administration didn’t know about the courses and didn’t care. They view it as none of their concern.

Physical-plant and planning director Bill Lobban has threat- ened to sue the Chevron over an editorial printed a week ago.

Lobban’s lawyers have sent the Chevron a letter listing the offending passages and asking for a retraction and payment of costs.

The editorial is reprinted be- low. Lobban’s letter is repro- duced on the right. A retraction 1s printed at the bottom of the page.

A spokesman for the Chevron said it would not pay any costs.

Lobban’s letter is the first step in a libel suit. A newspaper accus- ed of libel must first be asked for a retraction. If the newspaper does not satisfy the complain- ant, he can take the case to court.

We have been retained by Mr. Lobban concerning an article

which appeared in the January 17, 1969 issue of the Chevron on

page 23 thereof, entitled, “The secret security man”.

There are several statements contained in that article which in

our opinion are libeilous, as being untrue statements likely to

disparage and degrade Mr. Lobban.

Pursuant to the provisions of the Libel and Slander Act of Ontario

we must ask that you publish a full and fair retraction of all

matters contained in the said article which are alleged to be erron-

eous, in the next regular issue of the Chevron in as conspicuous a

place and type as the alleged libel.

The statements objected to by Mr. Lobban are set forth in the

enclosed notice pursuant to the said act, and are untrue and libeil-

ous in our opinion for the following reasons:

1. Mr. Lobban has never mad& it a “personal cause” to ensure

that the parking regulations are carried out to the letter. Mr Lob-

ban’s department has nothing to do with security, except incident-

ally as it relates to the removal of snow and the disposal of garbage.

The department was in fact severed from the security department

at Mr Lobban’s suggestion some eighteen months ago and sub-

sequently, Mr. Romenco became chief of security.

2. Mr. Lobban does not check cars himself nor does he spend

hours in his offices looking out the windows for violators.

3. Mr. Lobban does not influence the security force or prevent

them from being “more lenient and understanding”. They are

completely independent regarding the ticketing of violators in the

parking areas.

4. Mr. Lobban does not “constantly interfere” with Romenco’s

department.

5. Mr. Lobban did not design any of the buildings on the campus

nor was he a’t any time in charge of any phase of the construction or

design of any of the buildings. The last paragraph of the article is

likely to disparage Mr. Lobban in his profession as an architect as

it implies that it is his architecture and design which is collap-

sing.

We therefore trust that the retraction and apology wiil be printed

in as conspicuous a place and type as the original article in the next

issue of the Chevron.

Mr. Lobban further demands payment forthwith of his legal

costs to date in the sum of $150. Yours truEy,

CLEMENT, EASTMAN, DREGER, MARTIN & MEUNlER,

If you’re going to get mad at somebody because your car was towed away, don’t get mad at the kampus kops-they’re just working men.

The person you should really direct your barbs at is physical- plant and planning director Bill Lobban.

Lobban has made it a personal cause to ensure that the parking regulations are being carried out to the letter. There are many stories about Lobban arriving on campus an hour early in the morning to check cars himself or spending hours in his offices looking out the windows for viol- ators.

Often the kampus kops would like to be more lenient and under- standing than they are, but big brother Lobban is always just

around the corner. In fact, one of the oldest back-

room feuds on campus is between Lobban and security chief Al Romenco.

Romenco would like to run things without Lobban’s constant interference. So would the rest of the force: their happiest mo- ment this year was when they were able to ticket Lobban’s car earlier this week while he was out looking for unticketed, im- properly-parked cars.

The solution to the problem might be exchanging Lobban and Romenco’s posts.

Romenco certainly couldn” t do a worse job of laying out the cam- pus and its parking facilities-or seeing that buildings were built with walls that didn’t fall down or roofs that didn’t leak. the Chevron

etraction The Chevron has been informed by

G.W. Cameron, of the law firm of Cle- ment, Eastman, Dreger, Martin, and Meunier, that Bill Lobban, director of the university administration’s department of physical plant and planning, would con- sider it disparaging to him in his pro- fession as an architect to be associated with the architecture and design of build- ings on this campus, particularly where such architecture and design is collap- sing.

The Chevron would therefore like to make it clear that at no time did it mean to infer that Bill Lobban was the archi- tect for any of campus buildings and apologizes for any embarrassment or in- convenience that may have been caused him by people drawing such an inference from any matter i.Psat has appeared in the pages of the Chevron,

CO FRlXDERICTON (CUP)--For-

mcr Conservative prime minister John Diefenbaker is being men- tioned in courtroom circles here in a contempt of court case.

Diefenbaker’s name was drop- ped Wednesday as Tom Murphy, associate editor of the Brunswick- an at the University of New Bruns- wick, successfully pressed for a postponement of his contempt of court hearing.

Appearing before the supreme court of New Brunswick, Murphy was given the adjournment by chief justice G.F.G. Bridges after he told the court that Diefenbaker had suggested an adjournment, as a procedural step.

The court’s appeal division told Murphy to show reason why he should not be cited for contempt of court for his “Spades Down” col- umn in the december 3 Brunswick- an.

The article included “comments, reflections and innuendoes on this honorable court, arising from the trial by justice J. Paul Barry . . . wherein the University of New Brunswick is plaintiff and Prof. Norman Strax’is defendant.”

Murphy said Wednesday he was unable to find counsel experienced in court procedures of this kind and wanted two weeks to find appropriate counsel.

J.F. Teed, counst4 for the jus- tice department, protested the ad- journment. request.

Murphy said he had telephoned Diefenbaker last week and had received advice from him regard- ing the adjournment. He said Die-, fenbaker was interested in the case but did not indicate whether he would accept or refuse to act as Murphv’s counsel.

Murph$ said he had spoken to over five lawyers: only one was willing to act on his behalf but the lawyer was not satisfactory in his opinion.

Guelph admin pres near candidate for union council

-Inother $133 and the students at the University of Guelph may have elect,ed \iVilliam Winegard, their admmistration president, as pre- sident of the student union coun-

~ cil.

The drarna started thursday afternoon when only one student, Barry Lenhearth, had submitted a nomination form and nominations were to close friday afternoon. 1C’inegard was talked into entering the race to counteract the im- pending acclamation and subse- quently $15.50 and 25 signatures were collected-the former to register Winegard as a member of the student union and the latter to make the nomination form legal.

Alas, however. thursday night the form was declared unaccept- able by the chief election officer since the president wasn’t regis- tered in a course at the university. The only acceptable course was a post-dot tora te at the university costing $133 which the students just could not raise in one day.

(There is a way to get into the university without paying registra- tion fees but that has to go through the president of the university and. since he was the one involved, it wasn’t deemed too wise to carry on with the nomination. )

One thing did come of the farce-- five students submitted nomina- tion forms on Friday. so the uni- versit,v gets to have a real vote af- ter all.

Duff-Abbott Associates, a public-relations firm commis- sioned by the university’s board of governors. explains that confi- dence is diminished not so much because of what is being said about the university but because of what the university is not say- ing about itself.

The firm’s report, given to U of S faculty last week as the student- administration squabble over the Carillon continued, says student newspapers are widely condemned as irresponsible journalism and the “responsible-minded students

Duff-Abbott said its findings were based on more than 200 confi- dential interviews conducted in Saskatchewan among persons influencing community opinion. Among those missed by the sur- vey was Woodrow Lloyd, leader of the province’s NDP.

Elsewhere, Duff-Abbott’s report says remarks made by premier Ross Thatcher attacking the uni- versi ty are largely regarded as purely political and therefore ignored.

There are other causes for

concern, chief among them a strong feeling that there is a lack of administrative discipline at the university.

The report also says many peo- ple are irate about administration permissiveness toward the student papers and critical of faculty members who “openly expressed views on matters not within their jurisdiction.”

“While few dispute the faculty’s right to public speech and often agree with their views, it is gener- ally felt that the president and board chairman should speak for the university. And the principals for their respective campuses rather than as any member of faculty with a viewpoint.”

me OTTAWA (CUP )-The Canadian

Union of Students came off with a draw in four referendums fri- day-but they were only the first of a dozen planned for the next five weeks.

The union came out with wins at Mount St. Vincent and King’s College in Halifax-the Mount was voting to join for the first time although King’s was a member. It lost St. Mary’s, also in Halifax, and the University of Victoria. An anti-CUS vote kept Southern Alberta Institute of Technology out a week and a half ago.

The organization is left facing four referendums this week. three

the next, four others not yet laid ‘down and big one early in March.

The count at the all-girls’ Mount St. Vincent was 124 to 95 in CIJS’s

favor. King’s went 78 to 40 for the union. But with enrolment at 608 at the Mount and 300 at King’s, it won’t help CUS fin- ances much.

‘4t St. Mary’s, CUS lost 1600 students when the count was 331 to 177 to get out. And at Victoria, which didn’t commit itself to mem- bership-at last fall’s CUS congress, the campus went 961 to 665 for keeping its 5000 students out.

Left with 25 members the or-

ganization faces a referendum at Waterloo tomorrow Edmonton thursday and Winnipeg friday. The Saskatoon campus of the University of Saskatchewan votes february 5. and the next day both Queen’s and Glendon College cast their ballots. The I’niversity of British Columbia plans a two day referendum in march.

St. Thomas Aquinas in Frederic- ton had originally scheduled a re- ferendum january 16. but moved it back sometime in the third week of February. Lakehead. Selkirk College in Castlegar, BC and Vancouver City College all plan referendums sometime.

He wants to be president of the Federation of Students. Not for glory, not for the political power . or prestige, not as a job qualifica- tion in later life. He just thinks he can do the best job for the students on this campus.

Larry Burko ran in the last elec- tion because he wanted to put a- cross a message-and he didn’t expect to win that election be- cause he knew his wasn’t what the majority of students wanted.

. He now feels John Bergsma can’t offer the students what they want because he really doesn’t like being president--in fact John is already interviewing companies for employment whenever he’s through being president.

Burko won’t play political games with students or adminis- tration. He won’t refuse to appoint radicals to posts in his adminis- tration just because they’re radi- cals. If they are capable, he’ll let them do the jobs students want done. He’ll even have radi- cals in his executive if they’re the best qualified for the civil service functions of student government.

You won’t find Larry dealing behind t.he scenes with political advisers-he won’t need them because the political decisions will be made by students them- selves and only if students want them.

You + won’t see Larry Burko mouthing off in the Kitchener-wat- erloo Record about what the stu- dent body at the University of Waterloo really thinks because he wouldn’t pretend to. know the campus-wide opinion until the students held a referendum. And he won’t go to a CUS congress unless the delegation is primarily elected to speak for a certain plat- form. And he will also do his home- work before asking for some- thing like a conference of the On- tario Union of Students when such is really unnecessary.

What Larry will really do is run the best people-oriented govern- ment service he possibly can. This does more to advance the cause of students’ rights for self-determin- ation of their environment than any great amount of rhetoric about responsibility and coopera- tion possibly can.

Larry Burko believes non-poli t- ical government can work as long as it never forgets its purpose is to serve-not to advance one’s own cause. Larry has given great amounts of time on this campus to the pursuit of fun for his fellow student as well as himself. That is a rare quality is this turbulent age.

The Federation of Students will stagnate if the present adminis-

tration continues. Bergsma has done his job in combining the various moderate factions to end a radical administration that was rapidly becoming ineffectual. Bergsma’s coalition is falling apart-because of graduation of some of its better members and because too many of the remain- ing are fighting among them- selves.

Larry has proven his adminis- trative talents many times-in ways which don’t always show but which make a difference in the quality of campus social life. Taking tickets at a dance, or- ganizing a concert, running a major week,end. -Larry has done them all and has received little glory for them.

Larry handled a $20,000 budget for homecoming ‘68 and made over a $1000.‘ When the kampus kops were losing money on their dances, they called in Burko. Lar- ry has the administrative ability to run the federation.

And he can get the team needed to run the federation properly. Larry has shown himself able to work with anyone.

Pete Larson and the rest of WUC’s winter carnival committee should be commended for their efforts at this year’s carnival.

No, I was not pleased at all with the performance. The band sounded amateurish and the supporting enter- tainers (except for Willy Tyler with his dummy Lester) actually turned me off. They just came and went leav- ing little to savour.

Considering the odds they faced like lousy weather What I mean by a good performance was the (again) and choosing entertainment to give good shows, Association thing last year when they did an all- their efforts actually were rewarding. If we use people round show, and did two sets. Funny thing about that, having a good time as the standard, then Winter the Association were paid less than half what the Carnival 69 was a success. Supremes were.

The entertainment this year reminds me of the Byrds concert a few years ago where the local performers out-did the so-called professionals. We were treated with a repeat of this tragi-comedy.

Don Crawford was a good example of good enter- tainment. He was a folk singer that played around WUC’s campus all week in an almost troubadour style. He did his own thing, some Dylan, Tim Hardin and Leonard Cohen. As well as his dappled repertoire, he had a sort of refreshing, but humble sense of humor.

At the animal dance two groups entertained: the Phase III, a local group, and Wilmer and the Dukes. The latter came from Rochester and had a top record out.

The Dukes did their soul thing and if the people didn’t get up on lyrics and music, the beat and volume did the trick. One song really grosed out any innocent types there, Baby let me bang your box. It was beau- tiful, because after they picked their jaws off the floor, some girls sang along.

The Mardi Gras (though ;I little pre-season) was a real gas. The weirdos wen 2 out in full force. Costumes were abundant from the excellent to the funny to the none at all. The bands, Major Hoople’s Boarding House 2nd the Bedtime Story were really great.

All’s not rosy though. More than 8000 were let down at the Supremes concert. They waited in anticipation for a long time suffering through what could be called an amateur professional’s performance. Oh sure they clapped. Rut I’m wondering if it wasn’t for the semi- elegy in the ending song, or the ultra dramatic finish in the cry” free at last, thank God I’m free at last.”

Dear Students :

For just over six weeks John Bergsma has been serving as your student federation president.

As with any member of a governing body, he must address his energies to those areas in which he has direct responsibility. A federal government’s prime responsibility is in federal mat- ters; a provincial government’s prime responsibility is in pro- vincial matters: and a student government’s prime responsib- ility is in student matters.

We must also recognize that there are limitations to the num- ber of problems to which any president or council can address its energies. In a time when our responsibilities within the uni- versity are continually expanding and taking on a more and more effective role. it becomes increasingly necessary to involve more and more competent students. The organization and co-ordination of all these efforts becomes increasingly complex

It then becomes evident that the president and his council must establish priorities. That is, we must decide which problems we wish to attack and how extensive this attack must be. We must delineate the problems to which we will address ourselves and in what order we will address ourselves.

The priorities of this presidential administration are out- lined as follows:

I Education The emphasis in the Board of Education will be on the

analysis of our course content and philosophy, the performance of professors and students. We will establish a program in conjunction with the faculty association, faculty societies, and individual departments to initiate a system that works from the “grass roots” up. The Board of Education’s main function in this context is one of co-ordination and exchange. In addition, the Board of Education will bring to our campus experts in educational reform to enable us to keep pace with the newest developments and theories of educational practice.

D I Decision-Making lt is our contention that students must strive to be an

effective part of the decision-making process which effects us. We have stated in the past that mutual trust and co-operation is the most effective way to initiate change. Although John Bergsma has been in the presidential office for only a short time, recent developments indicate that we have achieved sig- nificant gains in student participation. We wi//press sti//further!

I I I Decentralization Through the Committee of Presidents (Societies and Feder-

ation) we will entertain proposals as to how the Federation can best serve the particular needs of each societ,y. In this manner, we hope to eliminate some of the existing antogonisms and ri- valries which have resulted when the societies felt that the Federation was infringing upon their rights and duties.

Because we have established certain priorities, this does not mean that other problems are ignored or are not in the student interest. It means that council first deals with the most pressing matters and areas of concern that are most immediate and where students are able to effect change.

1 urge all of vou to vote for continuing change and progress. negotiated through responsible representation.

these issues is more readily avail- able from students than from fac- ulty. Faculty members are likely to say “We are preparing students for the jobs they want to get. They paji good money, and this techni- cal education is better for them than a lot of theoretical work, which‘ would leave them without any particular job to go into.”

Only from students have I heard the counterargument: “The technical student is the alienated student. He is both laborer and product, designed for the future employer rather than for himself .”

Sidney Nestel’s article in last Friday’s Chevron showed a good understanding of the lines now being drawn in the faculty of math- ematics. May I invite further dis- cussion?

There is no conflict here be- tween theoretical (pure) and ap- plied mathematics. The conflict is between mathematics as an in- tellectual and as a technical dis- cipline.

HENRY H. CRAP0 associate professor-pure math

lyrics : Simon and Garfunkel

Sees conflict in math- intellectual of technical?

To what extent is this university bound by a duty to the technologi- cal sector of society to “tool up” its students for fairly specific technical employment? To what extent should efforts in this direc- tion take precedence over other academic goals?

Did your boss just mention that

you’d better shop around, to find

youself a more productive bag?

These qu’estions can hardly be avoided, when academic depart- ments seek to make their curricula more relevant to (what seem to be) real needs of their students.

Do figures of authority just shoot

you down? Is life within the bus-

iness world a drag?

Immediate monetary rewards to the technically-oriented student and university are substantial. Special scholarships, cooperative employment, iponsorship of re- search and assured post-graduate employment are all at stake. Given that a faculty receives funds in proportion to the number of stu- dents enrolled, this university’s tendency to spawn more technical and less academic programs is un- derstandable.

Well there’s no need to complain,

Iler beats Winnie-the-pooh gets this write-in vote

With president Hagey’s an- nouncement of a one-tier system of government for the university, it becomes obvious that Iler’s methods did achieve important powers for the st,udents.

Bergsma has served his pur- pose in cooling the tempers be- tween the administration and the students. Now we need the goals of Iler to take advantage of the new respect the administration has for the responsibility of the students in governing this uni- versity.

Even if we decide it is advis- able to train people for specific types of technical employment, it will never be our privilege to advise students to pursue such programs of instruction. If a stu- dent acquires any int,ellectual involvement in his courses or in the university life, it should be nurtured, challenged and re- warded. It seems bizarre to have to point out that students still sel- ect courses because they are inter- ested in a field, or enjoy an intell- ectual challenge, and have no in- tention of cashing in their trans- cript on graduation.

It has always been the recogniz- ed duty of technical departments to draw into their curricula appro- priate scientific and theoretical study, td serve as a basis for the future development of the techni- cal specialty. Thus electrical en- gineers familiarize themselves with Maxwell’s field equations, semiconductor physics, and infor- mation theory.

It is not at all clear what should constitute the scientific orienta- tion of technical mathematics : computer programming, actuar- ial work, optimization and model- building. Assuming that we man- age to set these specialties in a relevant scientific context, we encounter a further and peculiar responsibility.

If we entice a student into a technical program, hinting of a golden future, we must prepare a realistic analysis of present and future employment opportunities, and must alert him to the day when his five-year meal ticket will expire.

Ewing shouId look around~ grad emjoyeci English course

It’s unfortunate that Steve Ewing is finding his first-year lectures such a disappointing ex- perience. Surely among half-a- dozen courses there must be one course of interest to an imagina- tive student.

Although a grad student, I took an undergraduate English course last semester and am taking

another one now. Last semester’s course was extremely stimulating with much student participation incorporated into every lecture.

This semester, with another pro- fessor, the whole course is run on a seminar basis. Various thought- provoking questions are discussed in an informal atmosphere. There is no threat of an examination, therefore, no danger of regurgi- tation. This apparently unstruc- tured approach appears to appeal to students. for attendance is high and involvement enthusiastic.

You’re wrong if you think all the exciting things are happening only in graduate departments.

tuesda y, january 28, 1969 (9:40) 705 7

For the Canadian Union of Students, 1968-69 is likely to be remembered as the Year of the

Referendum. Since last September‘s CUS Con- gress in Guelph, the Union has been faced

with referenda at approximately three-quar- ters sf its member campuses. Victories have

been few for the pro-CUS graups: the win

ratio is about one out of three. M0st of the reactiQn ts the cu% Csngress

has taken the form of a questioning of t&re represeniativity and ‘democracy’ Qf the

national union.

s ar he m nalist

treatment of the Congress and on a general

misunderstanding of the basic structure of

GUS, this questioning has been mainly unin-

formed. To some degree, however, the fact that the

Union has been able to provoke a reaction of

such magnitude must be viewed as an indica- tion of the changing nature of the national

student organization. Founded in December, 1925, as the National

Federation of Canadian University Students, CUS is now the second oldest student union in

the world. But, with the exception sf brief

periods during the Depression and after World War II, the organization appeared ta be more

a COZY debating society for student bureau- crats than a real student union.

As late as the early 1960’s, its principal pro-

grams were a national debating contest, the

Corpuscle Cup contest, the preparation of a

student song-book, and a host of other sandbox activities.

Cold winds from Quebec The Union was jolted into reality at the

1964 congress when all of the major French- speaking Quebec universities announced that

they were withdrawing from the Qrgani-

9atiQn to establish the independent Union

Genera/e des etudiants du Quebec (AGEQ). Their reasQns for leaving were two-fdld: first,

they regarded NFCUS programs as irrelevant

to the pressing socio-economic problems of the student and the society; and second, if

Ouebecois were to be maitres chez nous, it was

clear that Quebec students needed an organiza- tisn representative of Quebec interests.

Shaken by what appeared to be a near-col-

lapse Of the Union, the remaining English-Cana- dian members sought to remold the organiza- tion into an instrument for the expression of

students’ political interests.

The executive was mandated to mount a lobby on a number of questions, most sf

which were related to the financing of uni- versity education.

Within twc years, CUS (as it was now called)

had one Qf the best brganized and more respected lobbies in Ottawa.

As a direct result of the national office’s lobbying activity, Canadian students have

made some important financial gains.

The first success was the approval of a mea- sure which made tuition fees income tax de-

ducti ble. Second, following a debate irk which CUS

presentations were quoted by a%! parties, ment approved the Canada Student Loans

Act. More recently, the CUS hobby has won

amendments which qualify student coopera-

SiVC?S far gsvern ment mortgages and,

thrQUgh its travel department, was largely

to institute youth air fares.

tern was for The roots of the current ideological divi-

sion probably go back to the 1965 Congress where delegates approved a resolution calling

for equality of educational opportunity, based on the principle that “ability to learn, not

ability to pay” should determine academic

eligibility. By thus involving itself nst only with

students, but with those who are unable ts

be students because of financial or social

barriers, the Unisn served notice that students no longer intended to act only in their own

selfish interest, but rather in the interest of

equality and social justice in society at large.

in the same year, the appearance of the

Duff-Berdahl report on University Government

in Canada prompted an increasing cQncern

with the operation and direction of the uni-

versity. These two themes- aroused cQncern about

the nature of our society, and the demand tQ

participate in university decision-making-

prompted the Union to place a new emphasis

on campus Qrganizing.

How to dislodge power? lt was clear that students would be unable to

budge the university authorities, let alone the entrenched power of governments, unless they were effectively organized to articulate and

enforce their demands. In 1966, CUS assigned national office mem-

bers to extensive fieldwork on local campuses,

directed mainly toward assisting student

councils in the implementation of their pro- grams. The program continued during 1967

and this September’s Congress assigned per-

manently-based fieldworkers to each region. Token cencessions frQm university ad-

ministrators, federal and provincial inertia on the problems of student aid, and an un-

precedented level of student unemployment in the past summer all contributed ts the

increased militancy of the September Congress.

The main theme Qf the past Congress was the democratization of the university com-

munity and the relationship of 4his activity to

Canadian society and the world at large.

Time and again une heard the phrase, “0, free university in a free society.” Delegates

placed rnueh emphasis on the relationship between corporate controi cf the university and

corporate control of society.

What is now being krestioned in the spate of referenda is the “‘de ocratic” nature of these demands for democracy, national seif-deter-

mination and the ” sentativity” of the Canadian Union of Stu

But those who are raising these questions have missed the pQint.

The truth of the matter is that the CUS Con-

gress is as democratic and representative as the csnstitution can make it.

Position papers and major constitutional and financial proposals are mailed to the

member councils well in advance of the Con-

gress. The Congress itself is CQmpQSed of delega-

tions whose size and voting strength is assigned in accordance with the population of the

member university. All proposals are discussed first in cQm-

mittee and then brought to the Congress

floor for mQre discussion, amendment, and decision by majoirty vote.

Even then, those opposing any resolution are not expected to abide by the majority

decision: no Congress resolution is binding on a member campus.

” Thus, if there is an issue of the “demo-

cracy” and “representativity” of CUS, it is impossible to substantiate at the national level.

Rather, what needs to be challenged is the

democracy and representativity of the local student councils which Choose the delegations

which make the policy Qf the Union.

Vote to stay in ln a year when the problems of financing

a university education have been growing, when the federal government is about to make

important decisions on the tax status of stu-

dents, and when we face summer unei-nploy- ment estimated to be 40 per cent worse than

last year’s unprecedented level, it should be obvious that there is an urgent need for a

strong national union of students. We should not pull Out sf the Uni0n and

weaken our national voice just because its

iota! counterpart has been undemocratic and unrepresentative,

Reform, indeed, may be necessary, but we should bring it about from within the

CBniQn. Remember the old saw about the baby and the bathwater?

lt’ y9u have to agree with every- thing an organization does before !.ou can let yourself be a member crf’ it-better drop out of life right now.

Often during vour lifetime you will come t,o be a part of a grbup with a single voice. The Canadian Medical Association represents all doctors. the Bar Association represents all lawyers, the United Auto Workers union represents all workers in that industry. And the Canadian Union of Stud- ents should represent all Cana- dian university studelits outside Quebec.

Even the participants at the anti-CUS conference at Waterloo Lutheran during the Xmas hoii- days came to the conclusion that a single, strong? national union of students was needed, and that it might as well be CXJS.

If there was any representivity problem with what CCJS was doing, they realized it lay not with the national office. but with the dele- gates to th e national conference

who selected the president a,nd passed all the legislation.

They concluded what all dissi- dent groups in a democratic or- ganization must conclude-the pro- per way to work for change was to ensure their voice would be heard at the next national con- ference.

CUS’s activities in the field of national representation and lobby- ing, intercampus communica- t-ion, international representa- tion, organization of mutual benefits (travel: life insurance. etc.) and field-working more t,han justify the minimal dues paid to it.

Last term the national press worked hard to sensa tionalize CUS as being a building-burning crew of radicals. There was no basis for such nonsense. The only thing radical about CUS was thk on-campus education-for-reform programs decided upon b,- the congress.

In tomorrow’s referendum, support your national voice-vote for CUS membership.

&m’t get sucked in by all the hullaballoo the uni versi tf s top dogs are trying to create about their decision to replace the sen- aie and board of governors with a single governing body.

AW. how revolutionary I The Iiniversity od’ Waterloo 1s deter- mined not to be dragged into t,he 11970’s. It will at least try to crawl.

But t,he question to ask yourself. be you student. faculty or staff’ member is how t,his stunningly progressive move will ai’fect you.

The answer is. quite simply, that it probably won’t.

The recommendations oi’ the stud;: committee on university gov- ernment included provision for token representation on the board and senate for students. Faculty were to have a majority of the senate and some representation on the board.

Changing the number of govern- ing bodies in the university will not change the degree of influ- ence the people who really com- prise the university will have. In fact in the area of purely academ- ic concerns like courses and teach- ing methods. faculty will have less say than they do now.

While the motion passed b> both the board and the senate doesn’t specify the degree of rep- resentation of faculty. students and alumni, t,he board members are well taken care of.

It says there will be *‘a fairly equal number of members who are not, employed by the university (initially the latter will be elcted from the present board of gover- nors 1. ” A number fairl\T equal to the total representation of all

proups inside the university. plus 0 alumni.

In ot.her words, the corporate elite (who can in no way be con- sidered as “representatives’* of the community at large 1 will still hold a tremendous amount of power in the government of’ the ;niversit;v.

Some people will sa>- that the move to one-tier government is just what the Federation of Stu- dents was pushing in its brief al- most two years ago. Buk this de- velopment is a far cry from their ideas.

The federation’s single-trer gov- ernment would have been ln the control of the faculty and stud- ents; lay representation was to amount to about one-sixth of the total membership.

The “new structure is just a different (but probably more effi- cient) cover for the same undemo- cratic control.

As well, there are many other parts of this historic change which still lack clarification.

The responsibilities this govern- ing body will. have and the manner in which it will function have not been decided. The terms of’ refer- ence and membership of the ma- jor committees have not been determined. And the means of transition to the new structure have not been specified.

The cheers and the headlines that this move by the men who govern us is supposed to evoke cannot be justified at all.

It will be unfortunate indeed if the faculty and students who com- prise this university are taken in by this so-called progressive move.

The Chevron challenges Bill Lobban, the administration’s dir- ector of the physical-plant and planning department. to proceed with his suit for libel.

As has already been said, Lob- ban’s interference with the run- ning of the security depart,ment b! AI Romenco is well-known on this campus, particularly as it re- lates to enforcement of the park- ing regulations.

And despit, p recent. and also well-known, attempts on the part of administration vicepresident A1 Adlington to try to get RGmenco to deny any such interference, we feel, that if called to testify under

oath, Romenco would supply a long list of such instances.

It seerns too that such a court case could be extremely benefi- cial to the university communi- ties, since it would probably ex- pose for the first time a good part of the real decision-making pro- cess on this campus.

Hopefully the courtroom inves- tigation would allso discover j~?st what there is about Lobban’s operations that make him consider it libel to suggest he has been on the security department’s baC. to enforce parking regulations to the letter.

It should be a very interesting case.

If anyone has told you that a letter they sent to the Chevron for publication in feedback wasn’t printed, then he’s a liar.

The very few letters from mem- bers of the university’s commun- ities not published this year were withdrawn by the authors.

Every other signed letter has been printed with the basic con- tent unedited. They are changed only to correct spelling, grammar

and major-style problems. This policy. one which the so-

called professional press has never had, was introduced this year to ensure that anyone who wished to find a voice through the Chevron could do so.

All letters addressed to iecd- back, c/o the Chevron are wel- come. Deadline for the Friday is- sue is Monday evening, although rare exceptions may be made.

The 5’10” 172-pound Collingwood native demon- strated why he is rated as the finest centreman in the univer- sity loop last Saturday afternoon.

Robinson’s linemate, Dave Rudge hustled throughout the match and contributed two goals and four assists to the lop-sided win over the Windsor Lancers. Roger Kropf and Dick Oudekerk,

the outstanding blueliner of the

Warrior’s defence brigade fired singles.

Ken Laidlaw, the Warrior’s top right-winger and rugged blue- liner Neil Cotton were injured early in the contest. La.idlaw suffered a severe groin injury, while Cotton received a deep gash near the eye. These in- dividuals are two very valuable members of the Warrior hockey club and will have to be in good health if Waterloo hopes to de- feat the powerful Varsity Blues tomorrow evening.

Don Hayes, head coach of the Warriors, has now piloted his Waterloo chargers to a 17-2-l record.

70% the Chevron

Referees don’t score points but they can win or lose a game.

Saturday night at a game between first place Western Mustangs and third place Water- loo Warriors held in the recreation center, the referees lost one for us.

The basketball Warriors gave them a good deal of support but that doesn’t excuse the inept- ness demonstrated by the men- in-stripes. But more of that later.

The dribble-and-shot boys open- ed the game with the best basket- ball seen this year. Everything was bouncing their way. Re- bounds were the key as lanky Gary Dyck and his mates contrblled both backboards. Western aided their efforts with inaccurate shooting and such mistakes as travelling and three second vio- lations.

There seemed to be no stopping the Warriors as they opened a 23 point gap with five minutes

-remaining in the first half. The Mustangs began finding-

the distance in the last few min- utes. The score at half time was 42-27. Big men for Waterloo at the half were Jaan Laaniste and Tom Kieswetter with eight points apiece.

The fans thought it was too good to be ture. Even if the War- rior’s fell apart it would be in- conceivable that Western could overcome the 15-point deficit. But little did we know. No one had scouted the referees.

At the start of the second half the Warriors seemed to maintain their,;shooting went cold. At the

their momentum. But then their shooting went cold. At the same time the Mustangs came on led by Dave McGuffin.

Waterloo’s lead began to shrink until, at 9:14 the score was knotted 52-52. A combination of weak passing, cold shooting and bad breaks on the part of the homers helped Western’s come- back.

Waterloo’s best ball handler Tom Kieswetter was the steadiest man for Waterloo in the second half bringing the ball up-court with authority. He seemed to be the only one able to pull the team to- gether as it began to stink the place ‘out. But with just over four minutes remaining, fate, dressed in stripes, took over.

With perhaps the greatest dis- play of theatrics to be seen at the recreation center a Western player fell flat on his back in front of Kieswetter. Mr. Refe- ree thought this display should not go unrewarded so fingered Tommy for charging. This being his fifth personal foul Kiewsetter left the game, to the chagrin of all.

The Warriors managed to hold together but their spark was gone. The lead switched hands repeated- ly. With about 15 seconds to go the score was deadlocked 64-64.

Western’s McGuffin missed a shot and the rebound was grabbed by Dave Crichton. The Warriors called time with nine seconds to go*

When they took the floor again the hometown lads appeared to be in the drivers seat. But a bad

Athena win weekend tourney The basketball Athenas saw action over the weekend as Waterloo

played host to the Five School Women’s Sports Day involving bad- minton, volleyball and basketball.

In the overall standings, the Waterloo teams tied for first with Windsor and McMaster with 17 points. Guelph followed closely with 16 points and Lutheran had eight points. The Waterloo girls came second in the basketball division by defeating McMaster, Guelph and Lutheran. Their only loss was 38-30 decision to Windsor.

The strong shooting of Kate Innis and Cookie Leach, who netted 14 and 12 points respectively, lead the Windsor team to victory. Water- loo had trouble breaking through the Windsor defence and was unable to utilize fast breaks. Pat Bland scored nine points for the Waterloo girls.

The Athenas came up with an easy 34-22 win over the Lutheran girls. Betty Etue netted seven points for the winners with Jan Meyer and Pat Bland adding six each. Lutheran’s Sally Folland scored 10 of her team’s 22 points.

In the McMaster game, the b-ball Athenas were charged with 27 fouls but still managed a 39-29 victory over the Hamilton girls. Waterloo had an 18-15 lead at the half and then finished with a big 14 point final quarter for the win. Bevie Stueck netted 10 points for Waterloo and Sue Baldwin gained eight.

The team came on strong in their final game as they downed Guelph 38-13. The Waterloo squad built up a 15-1 lead in the first six minutes and then kept Guelph scoreless to have a 23-l lead at the half. Bev Stueck and Charlotte Shaule tallied 11 apiece for the home team. The Waterloo defence gave up only three field goals as Guelph scored seven of their 13 points on foul shots.

The basketball team returns to league play on Tuesday when they travel to Ryerson. They then host Windsor on Friday night in the recreation center. A win for the Windsor team on Friday could gain them a tie with Waterloo for first place in the league standings.

pass was intercepted and flipped to Greg Poole. In desperation he swished one from more than 25 feet out as the buzzer sounded. Western went home with a 66-64 win.

For Warriors, top scorers were Dyck with 15 points, Laaniste with 12 and Sobol and Kieswet- ter with 11 apiece.

The Warriors spark seemed to dribble out of them in the second half while Western began to jell.

However the net increase and decrease was about even.

The thing that tipped the scales was dressed in stripes. It ma) be sour grapes to criticize the officiating after a loss but there are legitimate complaints.

Bad calls were made on both sides. This is inevitable. How- ever the referee seemed to be making a conscious effort to even out the bad ones. One mistake isn’t justified my making a worse one. It just indicates that referees had lost control ot the game.

The foul on Kieswetter was the most obvious and important dis- play of incompetence. The Western player fell. It certainly wasn’t the first bit of faking in basket- tmU.

But a good referee should be wise to these shenanigans. Being completely sucked in by such a ruse is strictly highschool stuff.

It was summed up best by a disgruntled fan : “This is a piece of shit”.

Moncton strikers listed with the crown attorney

MONCTON (CUP)-Names of participants in the recent science building occupation at l’univer- site de Moncton have been turned over to the crown attorney by uni- versity rector Adelard Savoie.

With the list of n’ames is a mes- sage asking that the matter be treated with care and considera- tion toward the students. There is no mention of charges, although there has been no word on the re- sults of an investigation of dam- ages conducted last weekend. A spokesman for the attorney’s of- fice said the names will be kept on file until the matter is fully dis- cussed by the university’s board of governors.

Student leaders fear the list will be used as an instrument to blackmail if a boycott of classes is resumed. Besides names of those who took part in the oc- cupation, the list mentions stud- ents and faculty who signed a note of sympathy with the protestors.
