Who else would do it?

students The student is the most

universally ’ despised creature in the eyes of many Waterloo lan- dlords. This was made especially evident at the Wednesday housing forum, with representatives from the city; provincial and federal governments, the local real estate board and a federation lawyer in attendance.

Local realtor and apartment manager Margaret Schiketanz, told a crowd of about thtiee hun- dred people that her apartments were eighty thousand dollars in debt, due to irresponsible student tenants.

“They shine their shoes with the window drapes, paint doors and walls weird colours, rip up floors and rugs and one clown even drove his car into the swimming pool”, she. told the audience. Schiketanz also claimed that she had lost ten thousand dollars in broken leases from students. “However, I’m still taking students but now I’m a little more selective. The good students unfortunately must pay for the bad students.”

When reminded that the courts - were the proper place to recover

damages from the vandal-students she exclaimed “that I could get no

monetary satisfaction from the courts.” When pressed further she said simply “You cannot get blood out of a stone”.

Jim Breithaupt, Liberal MPP for Kitchener reassured the resentful realtor that justice would come. “The pendulum has swung too far in favour of the tenant, and in the near future the government will move to correct that situation.”

Not wishing to be outdone by his competitors, Max Saltsman, New Democratic MP for Waterloo North joined the discussion by telling students that they were already the most heavily sub- sidized class of people in Canada. He would rather see any available money go for the construction of

new senior citizen dwellings rather than new student housing.

Saltsman also added, that since he had just heard about the meeting, he was unprepared to discuss, in detail, the student housing problem. However, he did say that it would be difficult to write legislation that would guarantee students equal access to apartments in the private sector. “This type of law simply could not be enforced”, he said.

U of W President Burt Matthews was prepared to do even less for the student. “It is not the university’s job to manage com- mercial apartments, for it is already being done by the private sector. The university has already provided 4,160 student beds,” he

‘said. To provide more*beds would be economically unfeasible due to a lack of funds, and the high summer vacancy rate.

Matthews attitude towards the problem was simply to wash his hands of it as quickly as possible. Needless to say, this type of ‘solution’ does not help the student still without decent housing.

The floor was then turned over to students to question the panel. They disagreed, rather loudly, with Schiketanz’s assessment of the problem. Opinions _ ranged from some mistrust to outright denunciations of her statements. One student pointed out that since

she was making over a million dollars a year, she could well af- ford the paltry five per cent loss attributed to student damage. She retorted that his figures were not mathematically sound, as he did not take into account interest, taxes, and other variables.

Schiketanz then reiterated her earlier statements about the amount of student damage done to her apartments and expressed a desire to show these damaged

of Dubrick Realty and asked them if they had any townhouses to rent. Dubrick told them that all the townhouses had been rented; this was at four o’clock in the af- ternoon. According to Spadafore the same townhouses were ad- vertised for rent in the following days Kitchener-Waterloo Record. He left the feeling with the group that the major real estate com- panies , were discriminating against students.

Reporters from the Chevron then visited the Panorama Apartment biilding at the corner of Westmount and Erb streets. According to Schiketanz five of these apartments were totally destroyed. Yet on a guided tour given by apartment superin- tendent Alphos Michiels, little damage in excess of wear and tear was noted.

In fact, the superintendent stated that he did not mind having students as tenants. He noted that twenty-three of the ninety units were presently occupied by

students, although students were charged fifteen dollars a month more than ‘other people’.

Reporters also visited the Hillsdale apartments at University Ave. and Dale Cres. Here damage was more extensive with garbage being intentionally strewn throughout the apartment, the newlt installed waiting room couch, being set on fire and someone driving a car into the swimming pool. The superin- tendent at Hillsdale could not prove this damage was done by students but said, “It must have been students, who else would do it”.

As for the rooms, oniy one recently’ vacated room was in a sorry state among the fifteen shown to us. A- crayon drawing of Charlie Brown on a door was the worst of this damage.

The superintendent said that students were still welcome provided they were a married couple and that they paid a years rent in advance. This ‘welcoee’ fee comes to $2100 dollars for the cheapest unit.

This type of extortion clearly contravenes the Landlord and Tenant Act. The Federation of Students has a lawyer that is available to students free of charge for situations just as this. (call ext. 2402)

After viewing the relatively light damage to the apartments, one could not help but wonder whether or not the shortage is really being caused by a few real estate companies controlling so many units and so much land in Kit- chener-Waterloo.

EDMONTON- &UP&The Ed- monton Boycraft Kraft Committee recently presented a submission

requesting that the government - officially back the boycott’.

The boycott was institut,ed several years ago by the National Farmer’s Union to force Kraft into collective bargaining with dairy farmers. At present Kraft is one of the largest users of milk in many areas of Canada;- the farmers in order to find a product must sell to Kraft at prices Kraft sets:

L The NFU pointed out Kraft pays far too little and that only through collective bargaining can the farmers get a fair price. d

The committee asked that the Alberta government refuse to allow Kraft products in its buildings and cafeterias and of- ficially support the boycott.

Their argument was that the government should put the in- terests of consumers and workers before the _ interests of private corporations.

Then it was the government’s turn. Hugh_ Horn&, Alberta’s Minister of Agriculture led off.

Horner said that they were already overregulated and that more regulations would create more problems for the little guy. How this could be applied to the boycotting .of a , corporation -that made 91 million dollars profit in 1971, was not made clear.

Hissecond notion was that if we regulated corporations we would also have to regulate wages-

which is a recomm:endation of his own Conservative party in their fight against inflation.

Horner ahso said that the government’s developmental loans has helped start 5 cheese processing plants, .- enough, ac- cording to the minister, to compete with _ Kraft’s 2.7 billion dollar processing, packaging and ad- vertising empire. ’

When it was pointed out by the boycotting committee that Kraft also controlled merchandising, price levels and advertising, Horner accused the committee of being “negative” and left the meeting.

When the Boycott Committee asked the remaining represen- tatives. to address their demands,

-“Bob Dowling, Minister of Con- sumer and Corporate Affairs said that Horner had- only “indirectly talked about it”. Dowling went on to say that the answer to the problem lay in the government’s subsidizing of producers and- . processors. Hedid not explain how this could affect Farmers who are underpaid because’ of Kraft’s - control of the market.

Dowling said that. the boycott was already more or less in effect, since the Alberta government’ places a priority on buying Alberta products.

Fred,Peacockr the final member of the government committee was against the boycott on principle and in favour of the monopolies. ’ , Peacock said that regulating - corporations would destroy . monopolies and when you destroy monopolies you destroy in- + _ dividuak and the incentive to get ahead. - The government representative ’ T never discussed the idea of giving I verbal support to- the boycott. ’

The government will continue to subsidize processors and Canadian _ farmers -will continue to-move to l the cities at the rate of 1000 .a o month. However., therre may be some consolation in the words of one of the government’s repr%ntatives : .

- Although there were many fun- damental ,-disagreements among those assembled (a cause of the,later faction fights which contributed to the decline

,of their ,movement), they shared a common’ _ goal.-ab’olishment of capitalism as a system of production

’ and the establishment of a classless society. They wanted a j true co- operative commonwealth.

’ The philosophy of the Indust-rial Workers of the World (IWW) was precisely summed up in the preamble to its constitution which reads in part: “The working class . qnd employing class have no thing in com- mon.. .between these two classes a struggle must go on un_til the workers of the w&/d organize as a class, take ROssession of the j earth,. and the machinery of productidn and qbolish - -

- e the wage system. ” This militant, uncompromising

-stance automatically pitted the fledgling IWW against the ruling class

I and the state ‘which responded to IWW organizing with legal and physical repression. ’

, In 1908, on the West coast,-the IWW conducted a series of !‘Free Speech”

_fights.. t The pattern was standard. An

organizer for the IWW would mount a soapbox in a busy public place and talk to workers about the OBU (One Big Union-a;other common name for the IWW.) ’ 1

Invariably, the first speaker would be % , arrested and charged with “se-dition”,

:‘immoral ity”, “lack of patriotism”, or “threatening to business”.

tmmediately a second speaker would. take his place and continue to talk. He

more than a hundred would be in jail. / Then the word of what happened would leak out -&the “grapevine” of hobo

-jungles, ‘and every “Wobbly” (a nickname ‘for ‘an IWW member) for hundreds of miles around would hop a

‘freight to take his place on the soapbox and eventuajly in the jail.

At the end of one month, more than 600 Wobblies could be expected to be found in the city jail.

You see, Joe Hill was a Wobbly organizer and at the same time hejwrote songs for the union. In fact, he wrote a good number of the union songs which have been sung on pick/et lines for the last fifty years.

But he was framed on a murder charge in Salt Lake City, Utah, and was executed by a firing squad oniNov. 19, 1915 despite two protests from the Swedish government; the intervention of President Woodrow Wilson, and an <international campaign carried out by

pressure regarding poss!ble charges of treason and sabotage.

Raids upon IWW.headquarters were frequent and confiscation and arrest were not uncommon.

The repression hit its peak in 1919 with the advent of theiinfamous Palmer Raids when the FBI’ forced its way into IWW offices, arrested ‘the occupants, seized files, smashed presses and furniture \ completely ran roughshod over the constitution.

The current-battle between the United Farmworkers Union and the Teamsters is the- latest in a war that goes back many years. But this time, according to spokesmen for the UFW, the attack on their union has been actively promoted by the Nixon administration.

Last year, the militant UFW seemed to be on the road to victory in its struggle to become__ acknowledged representative 9f the nation’s agricultural workers. With over 180 signed contracts, the union represented 60,000 workers in its home state, California, and was beginning to score substantial gains in other prime agricultural areas, especially Florida.

Today, it has been virtually squeezed -out of the fields in what seems to be an all,out effort by growers and the giant Teamsters Union to crush the UFW. By now,- all but a handful of the union’s contracts have expired, and as fast as the clock ticks off old contracts, growers are signing new agreements with the Teamsters.

TheUFW is fighting back with two weapons that served it well in the past: the picket line and the boycott. And it has the support of a $1.6 million AFL-CIO strike fund. Unless currently

’ announced talks reverse the Teamsters’ stand, the UFW will need all the help it can get. -

“We feel the growers came to the Teamsters last year and made them an offer”, says Cesar Chavez, UFW president. “That way they could kill two birds with one stone. They could, in- sulate themselves against a meaningful contract, and they could kill the farm- workers’ union.”

The Teamsters have held contracts covering cannery and ‘packing house

_ workers in California’s San Joaquin Valley since the 1940’s. When the UFW began its drive to organize grape pickers in the area in‘ 1965, the Teamsters developed a new interest in f ieldworkers.

Trounced by the UFW in the first union election held by a ,major grape grower (the DiGiorgio Corporation) in 1965, the Teamsters signed a “sweet heart” contract with Pirelli- Minetti, another big grower, in 1967. (A

sweetheart contract, in labour parlance, is a pact-signed by management and union officials without consulting workers).

The UFW fought, and won the first of a series of jurisdictional agreements providing that the Teamsters would stay out of the fields and the UFW would stay out of the processing plants.

By 1970, with the help of the nation- wide grape boycott, the UFW had signed contracts with most California grape growers, and was giving signs that its next organizing target would be the lettuce fields of the Salinas Valley, “the nation’s salad bowl”. Suddenly, in late July of 1970, 200 major Salinas Valley let$ce growers announced that they had signed contracts with the teamsters. The UFW called a strike, the AFL-CIO interceded, the Teamsters backed down and the two unions signed a new jurisdictional agreement.’

But -most growers refused to sign with the UFW, which eventualfy launched jts nationwide lettuce boycott. The battle between the two unions broke out anew this year when growers announced they had re-

. negotiated their un-expired 1970 “sweet heart” contracts with the Teamsters.

At first glance there are many similarities between the contracts

s offered growers by the Teamsters and the UFW. The Teamsters demand an hourly wage of $2.30, the UFW--$2.40. Both specify unemployment com- pensation and health and’ welfare provisions.

The Teamsters’ special features .are the relatively high (10-l 5 cent per employee per hour) employer con- tribution to the union pension fund, and guarantees against boycotts and

Fighting to keep _ x an elfective union

harvest-time strikes, the UFW’s two principal -weapons.

.The UFW contracts include a lower pension fee, but contain two provisions that have long been thorns in the growers’ sides: union-run hiring halls and limitations on pesticide use. Joseph Franzia, of Franzia Brothers Winery, says he would “stay with Chavez” if the UFW,agreed to abolish the hiring hall and “let us dust them (the grapes) when we want to.”

Teamster contracts allow for return to the old system of hiring through labor contractors. On pesticides, they require simple compliance with existing state laws, long attacked by the UFW as inadequate to protect workers.

The growers’ attitude toward the two unions is summed up in the statement of a Coachella Valley vineyard owner _ who told reporters, “I’d rather have no union, but at least the Teamsters are professionals.” The spread of the lettuce boycott, and the UFW’s victory, in March 1972, in winning a contract with Coca-Cola covering its 1200 Florida citrus workers, signalled the growers’ need for professional help.

Growers have complained widely of the UFW’s organizaTional inexperience and inefficiency. “What the growers mean by ‘professional,’ ” says a labor expert sympathetic to the UFW, “is a union like the Teamsters that is run by its officers with no participation from

members. The UFW workers run their hiring hall that distributes the work. They form ranch committees that deal with the growers. The issue is democratic. unionism and whether it’ will be allowed to spread.”

The UFW sees racism behind the -professionalism question. In the words

of Jerome Cohen, chief counsel for the UFW, “Growers have had to sit down across the table with Mexican farm- workers as equals, and they don’t like it. The Teamsters present the image of a gringo-like union, which deals on a very reasonable sweetheart basis with the employers. The grower doesn’t have to deal with his -workers as human beings if he signs with the Teamsters”.

Large “Elephants Eat Lettuce” buttons sported before the TV cameras by many delegates to the Republican convention in August, 1972, broadly hinted that halting the UFW was a plank in the sub-floor of the G.O.P. platform. A press report on November 11, 1972, just before the election, that a New York Teamster truck drivers’ local had ‘suddenly refused to deliver UFW-picked lettuce showed who would hammer the nails.

“We in organized labor,” F itz- Simmons declared, “welcome an alliance with farmers, whether they be of the family farm variety or the agribusiness variety, when that alliance works for the mutual benefit of the farmworker and his employers”. A few days following the Fitzsimmons speech, Salinas Valley. lettuce growers

In an unprecedented appearance Decemberl2, Teamster president Frank Fitzsimmons addressed the American Farm Bureau’s national convention in Los Angeles. The speech has received littleattention in the press. The head of the nation’s biggest union urged the conservative, traditionally anti-labor growers’ body to accept the inevitable unionization of agriculture-but not the UFW, “a revolutionary movement that is perpetrating a fraud on the American people.”

renegotiated their un-expired 1970 “sweet heart” contracts with the Teamsters. -According to UFW counsel Cohen, Fitzsimmons’ appearance was arranged by then Under-Secretary of Labor Laurence Silberman.

Why should the administration take _ sides in a labor conflict? Simple, say

observers here: Nixon wants what the growers want. UFW sympathizers are quick to point out that some of the President’s best friends are in agribusiness: among them William Pawley, owner of the Talisman sugar company in Florida, which has been the target of a year-long UFW strike, and C. Arnholt Smith (now under indictment r for tax evasion), San Diego millionaire who holds mortgages on vast agricultural tracts in the San Joaquin Valley.

The President has not spoken out on T the current dispute, but he has previously shown disapproval of the UFW. “During the campaign, he ran around the state eating grapes,” recalls Cohen.

* The Fitzsimmons speech came days after a meeting at San Clemente, reported in the New York ‘Times December 2,‘ between the President, Fitzsimmons, and then president ial counsel Charles Colson, reportedly the

.-architect of administration labor policy. (Colson is credited with having proposed the early release from prison

-of -Teamster ex-president James Hoffa.) A few days after the meeting, the

Teamsters announced that their legal - business would be handled in the future by the law firm of Morin, Dickstein, Shapiro, and Gilligan. On the same day, December 8, Colson announced that he would join the Washington firm after resigning his White House post in March.

Teamster officials vehemently deny any conspiracy. But why should the Teamsters, two million strong, with a massive base in the nation’s tran- sportation industry, bother goin.g after a few thousand low-wage workers? Especially, why go- after agricultural workers, whose jobs stand to be drastically reduced in the next few years by automation?

Teamster leaders maintain that the move is a logical one, necessary to protect the jobs of Teamster food processing workers and truck drivers who could be idled in UFW strikes that cut off the flow of crops from the field. Further they claim that farmworkers want Teamster representation because they are tired of the UFW.

According to Teamster organizing director William Grami, the UFW lost the support of grape pickers because they “exploited the hell out of the w(orkers” through use of the hiring hall.

According to some rank and file Teamsters, the motive is cash. Automat ion w il I paradoxically become a source of income, as unions pressure employers for financial settlements to compensate for lost jobs. And the high retirement contributions will swell union pension funds. At a truck stop in San Francisco, a Teamster truck driver commented on the move. “It’s not going to do me any good-they’re just going to make more money for Fitz- - Simmons.”

Asked to comment on the difference between his union and the UFW, an older Teamster driver said he didn’t know much about the farmworkers. “But you know how we got our last contract?” he asked. “In the mail, with a space to mark yes or no. You’re down the river already, when you have to vote like that.”

His shop steward, a longtime “in- surgent” Teamster, had a profounder explanation. “These union officials want to collaborate with the bosses. The thing that can buy them, more,than’ money, is a pat on the shoulder from the boss. To be friends with these guys, to ride on a plane with Nixon, to play golf a La Costa- to Fitzsimmons, that means he’s a success.”

As an introductory work, American Society travels a considerable distance in reaching its stated. objectives, although in one article the book fails to present an adequate critique.

All but one of the contributing authors- provide the reader wih a fairly cogent critique of these institutions. Leggett’s article, “The Political Institution,” falls flat, for it is both obscure and incomplete. The writer is more concerned with showing the dichotomy between the stable and total revolutionary stages of society, and historical development between the two. H is typology of hist- orical stages seems most tangential to a’ criticism of American society.

The central thesis of this compilation of essays is that within American society the economic sector is ,of dominant _im- portance as it determines to great extent the form and substance of human relationships. .Because of capitalist ownership of the means of production and atomistic and alientated social realations within the U.S., the contributing authors refer to American society as -a market society. It is stressed that the economy is not guided sofey by market mechanisms, but it comes under the direction of. large corporations, powerful political interests and the military establishment. Control is not confined to the economic structure. In

I .general, American society is controlled ,’ and repressed by the I interconnected

I other societal establishments: . . 1

Dusky Lee Smith.in an essay entitled, “The Scientific Institution: The Knowledge-producing Appendage,” has captured in relatively few pages the essential features of bourgeois sociology. He at-&es, “Social control has been and remains, one of the basic concerns on the part of most sociologists and. is one of the best-selling concepts in , t,he discipline:” American sociologists on the whole come

’ under incisive criticism for their support of the established’ orde’r through their theoretical, and empirical work.

The book has succeeded in proviiling a general ctiticism of American society and estabJishment thought and an in- troduction t_o the premises of radical sociology to students who .have been exposed to the literature of mainstream &ciologica,l the&y and practice. , . . --

And believe me it puts a strain on your mental health to be destitute. - Doctor: . . -Especially while fat cats like me are living so very comfortable.

.The dissenting voia , - In a taped inter-view with Dr. Jose ‘Canive, one of - the seven praqtising psychiatrists in the K-W

area until the end of August, he outlines the reasons for his leaving ,the community. Dr.

’ Canive was oppo‘sed to the d@sion by the area psychiatrists to ‘withdiaw from OHIP and to- incyeke their fee schedules as of September 1st

L of this ‘yeai.

I&erviewer: The article in the K-W Record would lead one to believe that if the are.a psychiatrists were to’ remain in OHIP they would not be able to provide quality care for

. their patients. Do you agree with this suggestion? , 7

~ Jose: Not at -all. You can definitely provide quality care within OHIP. The problem is only that you must be willing to limit your income. In the article it was suggested that OHIP wants psychiatrists to have 300 sessions per week with patients.,This is not true. OHIP recommended that number’ as a maximum. Of course you

cannot expect to earn $80,000 a year and also provide quality care. . _

Interviewer: The Record article suggested that the average income for psychiatrists was $39,000. Jose: The article was misleading in a sense. It may make pe.ople believe that $39,000 is their whole income. This is not true for two reasons.

-. First,, this is only an average figure and in an area like this where there are few psychiatrists the average income is/probably higher. Also, this figure only represents the money they get

~ from OHIP. In addition the psychiatrists are paid by I the hospital, by social agencies and some by the university for consultation,, etc; So, you see, it comes to quite a bit more. My, hunch would be that there actual income is at least 50 or 60 thousand.

’ Interviewer: What is your greatest opposition to this move on the part of the psychiatrist? Jose: With the increase in fee schedules I see a

: very bad thing happening. The people who have money will be able to afford psychiatry and those who can’t afford it won’t be able to get *

c this kind of help. The psychiatrists say they will accept welfare recipients, but how many welfare recpients will they accept? This makes

%,edical attention a privilege foryhose people. It shouldn’t be a privilege, it’s a right, and they have the right to the best care available. Interviewer: How did the psychiatrists make their unified decision to leave OHIPT Jose: They talked- for a long time in their meetings about leaving OHIP. They were dissatisfied with their income, etc. I had no vote in their group (ed. note: see explanation further

I opinion, do the

psychiatrists seem copcerned with providing more relevant community services? Lse: The situation here is that the psychiatrists offer nothing to the community at large. Community psychiatry here is non- existent. There is very little talk about this. They discuss it about every six months. Interviewer: How did this affect you per- sonally? Jose: Originally when I came here I planned to work m&e in the community be&se that is my orientation. To get involved in new ways with this community meant that I had to have some independence and become a pioneer. I would have to overcome things which seemed im- possible. If I had been allowed to work for the hospital directly my responsibility could have been much broader. In the business meetings of the Psychiatric Consultants they seemed more concerned with how much money they were making than with community services. Interviewer: What role can the hospital ad- ministration play in solving these problems which you have pointed out? Jose: The hospital doesn’t have a staff psychiatrist. There is no one person in charge of co-ordinating psychiatric services. The left arm doesn’t, know what the right arm is doing. All functions are disjointed and each individual is busy looking for loopholes in the system. They should hire a director of-dinical psychiatry. Interviewer: Are there any other suggestions that you could make for improving the situation? Jose: The hospital should contract with somebody to provide services and they should put people on salary. This way the psychiatrists wouldn’t also bill the patient for his services. Also there is a need for better relationships between psychiatrists and other disciplines. Interviewer: Could you explain your last statement more fully? Jose: The rivalry between psychiatry and other services, like social work and psychology is unbelievable to me. I think it is detrimental to the patient. Psychiatry does not accept what those others have to offer. Everybody is guarded all the time. Psychiatry is concerned with power. They don’t want to lose control. Interviewer: Hoiv have you personally felt about working with other disciplines within the hospital? Jose: Personally, I have etijoyed this part of working here. I have appreciated working with nurses, psychologists and social workers and I think that they have appreciated w&king with me. In that sense we have had good rapport and I feel sorry that I am leaving. However, I had to stand for my beliefs.

. ..it’s going up-

Concern and clarification refused by the Record

The following letter was sent to the K-W Record in response to their article about the local psychiatrists withdrawing from OHIP. The Record refysed to print the letter claiming it was “too long”.

To the Editor, Kitchener-Waterloo Record, Kitchener, Ontario.

Dear Sir; I am writing to comment and i express

concern with regard to your article of Thursday August 16th headlined: ‘Six psychiatrists quit OHIP, up fee’. As a member of a group which is in contact with the social welfare resources of the K-W area, I have the impression that we may be aware of implications of- this situation which will not be immediately evident to the general reading public. I would like therefore to clarify some of these issties as well as to convey the reasons for my concern.

First, it should be understood that the with- drawal of six of K-W’s eight private practising psychiatrists from OHIP means effectively that no psychiatric care by a certified psychiatrist will be available in K-W under OHIP coverage. The seventh psychiatrist is leaving in protest over the actions of his colleagues; the eighth is not a certified psy- chiatrist. Furthermore, since Psychiatric Con- sultants do all the psychiatric work for K-W Hospital (St. Mary’s has no psychiatric ser- vices), it is not only the psychiatrists’ private patients who will no longer be covered, but also any person- requiring psychiatric care in hospital.

The fact, of -the matter is that Psychiatric Consultants holds, and it appears will continue to hold, a monopoly on psychiatric services in this area. On Friday we spoke with a member of the K-W Hospital administration who assured us that any psychiatrist who wished to practice in the K-W area was free to do so, but there are certain facts which suggest otherwise. In order to practice, a psychiatrist must have hospital admitting privileges. The only doctor outside the Psychiatric Consultants group having access to hospital beds for psychiatric treat- ment is a general practitioner doing psychotherapy, whose admitting privileges pre-date the formation of Psychiatric Con- sultants. K-W Hospital does not hire individual psychiatrists to staff its psychiatric wards, but instead has an agreement, with Psychiatric Consultants under which its members perform that function. The psychiatric department of K-W Hospital is headed by doctors from the Psychiatric Consultan& who are therefore in a position to make recommendations concerning the granting of admitting privileges. Psychiatric Consultants requires its members to sign a contract according to which they agree not to practice psychiatry in the K-W area for a year and a half subsequent to leaving the group should they do so.

Since Psychiatric Consultants is apparently what we have to work with in the way of psychiatric services in this area, a concern with their motivation in withdrawing from OHIP would seem to be legitimate. What do they

mean by “a -growing concern over the in- compatibility between OHIP’s concept of psychiatry and our own”? (Record, August 16th). The doctors claim t.&$ OHIP and the Ontario College of Physicians and Surgeons are trying to force them to give poor quality service by “setting 300 sessions a week as an efficiency mark”. A spokesman from the OHIP regional office in Hamilton told us, quite to the contrary, 300 sessions per week had been set as the maximum by the College, after which a doctor’s claims to OHIP might be considered suspect, and investigated. Moreover, a 20 minute minimum length for a psychotherapeutic session is fixed by the college; anything shorter is not considered psychotherapy and can’t be billed as such.

What the doctors’ argument would seem to come to, then, is that at the current, rate of remuneration under OHIP, psychiatrists see‘ing patients for hour 01 half-hour con- sultations can’t make as much money as they would like. Given that they find an average salary of $39,000 a year insufficient, they had the choice of taking more patients for shorter sessions or withdrawing from OHIP so that they could raise their fees. It does appear to be true that the preirailing mythology which places the psychiatrist at the apex of medical affluence is incorrect. Surgeons, for example, earn more. But, $39,000 is an average, meaning that some psychiatrists, those with straight institutional appointments, for example, probably earn less, while others earn sub- stantially more. And is $39,000 an insufficient income when one considers the average yearly income of Canadians? On the one hand there is the argument that professionals should be compensated for their arduous and expensive years of training; on the other the fact thatJ training is, after all, largely paid for by you and me. How much is adequate compensation?

Finally, there is the most important questions: what will this mean for the patient? It means that a person who already faces problems which seem to him overwheliming, will have in addition to worry about whether or not he has the funds available to pay for treatment. prior to being partially reimbursed by OHIP. It will probably mean that a person who is not acutely il l will hesitate to take his problems to a psychiatrist’s office because he will feel unable to afford the un-reimbursed amount. For the acutely il l person who can’t afford to pay it, may well mean being sent out of the area to an Ontario Hospital, for how many patients can we expect doctors to take as welfare cases at the OHIP rate, when they have gone to the lengths of withdrawing from OHIP so that they can charge higher fees?

I would like to express my sense of moral outrage at this situation, at the action taken by the Psychiatric Consultants and the fact that

there is presently no available alternative, and at the fact that Psychiatric Consultants evidently felt no obligation to consult w&h its community, or even to inform it until the very last minute. I would like as well to commend Dr. Canive for his principled stand.

Yours sincerely, Sandra Sachs

The average native was found to have adjusted to the tropical climate so well that he was able to transfer oxygen from the blood to the cells of the body more efficiently than any- European athlete; he- also had a much larger lung capacity than most European athletes. /

The tentative conclusion of the study suggests strongly to nutritionists that the ‘Isafe” levels for healthy nutrition have been set rather too high.

Public agitation for reform, perhaps inevitibly, is

almost always out of date. A grievance may take

clear to a few people, being adequately-resear- ched and the facts carefully documented; then being taken upfjrst by radical and eventually by respectable elements in society, before finally being appropriated by the%,media and supported

,-in the saloon bar. By the time this happens, the _ original social evil has usually slipped well down

from the head of any objective agenda for reform, either because it has been ameliorated by im- ’ personal economic forces, or because it has been elbowed out of line by newer, more intense grievances.

pollutants from a cigarette are released in the sidestream: twice as much tar and nicotine as in the mainstream; three times as much phenols,

which a smoker draws into his mouth are called

pyrene and particulates; four times as much nitrous oxide, cadmium and benzo(a)-pyrene;

mainstream smoke, while-the smoke which drifts

and fives times as much carbon monoxide. (These

off the tip of a ci‘garette is called sidestream. Most

figures are based on the total weights of each substance which leaves a cigarette in mainstream or sidestream smoke: data from Ulrich R.Hoegg,

Environmental Health Prospectives, October 1972, pl17).,

Of coursenon-smokers do not inhale undiluted sidestream smoke, but the air ‘in a smoke-filled room can still be extremely dense. For example, at an -American university party where measurements were made of cigarette smoke in the ambient air, total suspended particulate concentrations reached well over 3000 micrograms per cubic metre (ibid). This may be compared with Lawther’s suggested 24hour maximum of 250 - micrograms/cubic metres for smoke in outdoor urban air, and the US federal air quality standard of 75 micrograms/cubic metres for total suspended particles.. _

Measuring cigarette smoke by means of

Such has been the history of the public’s new- found enthusiasm for matters ,environmental. Everyone now knows, fort example that factories pour out most of the smoke in our skies, that the blue whale yearly draws nearer to extinction, and that industry is largely responsible for- polluting our rivers. And while each of these statements has at one time been true, none of them is valid today.

Passive smoking-the inhalation of smoke by non-smokers -is a topic that has been shamefully neglected both in research and in polemic. On the one- hand, environmentalists tacitly assume that the only air tiorth worrying about is the at- mosphere of the wide open spaces,. while the gas which people breathe into their lungs is somehow morally inferior stuff. On the one hand, the medics are convinced (despite all the’ ex- perimental evidence) that a campaign of statistical overkill will-one day persuade smokers to (kick the habit, with the result that they have omitted to make any but the most cursory in- vestigation of the harm smokers, do to the health

’ of their neighbours. The risks which smokers run to their own health ,

have been elaborately and expensively -documented. For example, the effect of smoking over 30 cigarettes per day increases one’s chances of dying from lung cancer at least tenfold and perhaps as much as Wfold. Smokers, however, do have the option of. giving up smoking, although relatively few seem to do so. Non- smokers, by contrast, are frequently compelled to inhale the noxious fumes of their smoking colleagues. Their bodies bear th,e short-term scars:carbon -monoxide in the blood and nicotine in the urine; the\ long-term effects are more in- sidious. Short of following Howard Hughes in his

--ascetic withdrawal from society, non-tabacco addicts have no way of avoiding exposure to a pollutant which is known to be carcinogenic. This situation will continue until we abandon our present system of non-smoking areas in trains and public places, and replace it with a contracting-in system whereby smoking is only allowed in zones specifically set aside for the purpose.

Exactly what is the exposure of non-smokers to tobacco smoke, and howsevere a health hazard is involved? First, a distinction must be drawn between two types of cigarette smoke.-The gases

suspended particle concentrations is technically somewhat difficult. Of the *few and limited studies, most have been carried out on cigarette smoke and non-s’mokers have concentrated on carbon monoxide; it is relatively simple to measure in the ambient air, and the concentration of carboxyhaemoglobin (COHb) in the blood- stream is a reliable index of human exposure. One such experiment was reported by Michael’Russell and others in The Lancet recently (vol 1, 1973, ~768). When 80 cigarettes and two cigars were smoked in a 43 cubic metres room over rather more than an hour, CO levels in the air averaged 38ppm. Twelve non-smokers spent+ about 80 minutes in this atmosphere, after which their mean blood COHb levels had increased from 1.6 to 2.6 per cent. Six cigarette smokers (all inhalers) in the same room showed a blood COHb increase of 0.7 per cent for each cigarette smoked. Dr Russell and his colleagues concluded- that “the amount of CO which the non-smokers absorbed by passive smoking was about the same as would be expected if they had actively smoked and inhaled one cigarette”.

Other experiments in the literature broadly agree with Russell&. In one case (M.Srch:-Dtsch Z ges gericht Med, vol 60, ~80) the smoking of IO cigarettes in an hour in an enclosed car raised the ambient CO to 90ppm, and the blood COHb of two non-smokers from 2 to 5percent. In another instance (H-P von Harke, Munch med .Wschr, vol 112, p2328), when seven -non-smokers spent 90 minutes in an unventilated 13 cubic, metre-room in which eight to nine pipes of tobacco had been smoked, the CO in the ambient air rose to 30ppm and the COHb of the non-smokers rose from 0.9 to 2.0 percent. Together, these experiments suggest that in unusually smoky conditions a non- smoker may be exposed in an hour to the CO- equivalent of one or two cigarettes.

the chevron ’ ’ 29

\The ‘hypothesis that carbon monoxid& may be,‘&ed as a reliable index of the many other toxic components of sidestream cigarette smoke is Supported by one experiment in which nicotine was measure&>ccording to F. Homberger and

.col leagues (quoted recently in The Practioner, vol 21O,p645), non-smokers in thickly smoke-filled conference room’s, restaurants or railway carriages migh_t inhale 3 to 5 milligrammes of nicotine in one hour-the equivalent of at I’east one cigarette smoked.

Pend*ing furthe; investigations, therefore, it would be unreasonable xto suggest that extremely heavy exposure to the tobacco smoke of others can cause the non-smoker involuntarily to inhale the equivalent Gf one cigarette per hour. Unfortunately, there are no data to

, deterbine how common an experience this is, but it seems li$ely that ther’e must be millions of non-smoke& whose regular exposure to tobacco smoke-at home, on the train,, in’ the office, at the pub or cinema- rea&es a daily equivalent,of one cigarette smoked. Similarly, there must be thousands of people in Britain who live, work and relax in such abnormally smoky c-onditi,ons that their regular exposure to tobacco smdke is equivalent to about five cigarettes smoked per day. What are the likely consequences to their ,health? ’

Somd non-smokers, of course, are positively allergic to cigarette smoke. One American author (Bernard M. Zussman, ‘Annals of Allergy, vol 28, ~371) fbund that 16 per cevt of his allergic patients were clinically sensitive to. tobacco smoke. AS aroind 25 per cent of the population

’ suffers from allergic diseases of one sort or another, there may be as many ‘as 1 ti/llion people in Canada who are allergic

.- to tobacco smoke. For many of tfiem this is> r;nerelyi an .unplea:sant and u.navQi,dable nuisance, involving eye irritation, nasal symptoms, coughing or wheezing. But for some it means that they can not travel on a+us, go/to a cinema, or work in a normal

, office without a blocked nose, severe headache, or an asthmatic attack. Acute bronchitics at-e e\ven worse off. To them, too much cigarette- smoke could’ literally prove fatal, as it could to people _ with severe coronary heart disease.

8 Most non-smokers, though, suffer

neither from bronchitis ‘,nor serious tobacco allergy. Are they harmed by passive smoking?, Children, at least,

I certainly seem to be. In a survey in British schools carried out !,recently by Dr W. Norman Taylor (Conimunity Me&dine, 21 April, 1972), those children with a he,avy / smoker in their family showed 50 per cent - more respiratory illness than children from People‘ involuntarily exposed to smoke- non-smoking families. Two American laden air are tho‘;lght to irihale precisely studies (Paul Cameron et al, Journal of this ldvel of c.ikarette smoke.

Until recently, smoking and health campaigners seemed strangely unaware of the political significance of such a _ hypothesis. For exampI& the recent report of an expert f3ritish group came to the following iomewhat enigmatic con- clusions on passive smbking: r’Sign,ificant air pollution‘ may occur in the air of enclose3 spaces where people are smoking.. .The present evidence indicates that there is virtually no risk,’ to the healthy r-ion-smoker apart -from ex- ceptional exposure to tobacco smoke in an (Inventilated room or closed car.” One may ‘perhaps be excused for translating this to mean I that passive smoking is harmless except where it is harmful, and

‘that the expert group does not feel it matters either way.

If it were .iqdeed established tha; - pollution from tobacco -smoke were’

doubling the lung cancer ex’pectancy of a significant part of the population, the strange t,olerance with which non-smokers regard theirsmoking friends might rapidly disappear. No 1ongc.r would it be s,ocially

acceptable for smokers to pol!ute the air ! of dffices and cinemas, to scatter cigarette ash over food in cafes or beer in yjubs, or to light up without permission in a’non- smoking household. If research did indeed~ demonstatft that tobacco smoke was the most dangerous comm’unity air pollutant of all, the case would be overwelming f&r a ,leg.+ ban on smoking in all public places - including restaurants, schools, off ices and factoiies.

“The liberty of the individual must be thus far limited”, wrote John Stuart Mill (On Liberty, chapter 3). “He must not make himself a rluisance to other pebple.‘: There are many (myself among them) who would oppose legal restrictions on cigarette smoking on the same-grounds that they object to the compulsory wearing of seatbelts or c&h helmets: ifs people wish to take foolish i-isks, then in a

-‘free society they should be allowed to do so.. But if -smokers are seriously harming the health of non-smokers, then smoking shobld be made a criminal offence unless carried out among conser$ing adults in private. -The official warning on cigarettk packets, which now reads Smoking Car+ Damage Your Health, should -then be extended tb say: “And Your Neighbours’ Health.”

As inany people know to, their cost, cigarette smoking can cause stomach irritation and even ulceration: Two researchers now think they know how it happens. Using 22 vo1unteers‘N.W. Read and P.Crech‘ have shown that very soon after someone starts inhaling=eigarette smoke the contents of his intestine squirt back into his stomach. The emulsifying effect of bile juice (from the duodenum) combines with the acidic nature of the stomach contents to inflict the damage on the stomach wall.

Of the 22. volunteers, 13 nortially suffered no trouble with overt gastric irritatio?; the rest we,re dyspeptic patients. Read and G&h injected radio-opaque mateiial into the volun eers’

1 stomachs and followed

the muscular activity by taking X-ray photographs. Normally when partially digested food leaves the stomach it is prevented frbm retu‘r-ning by a muscular$valve (the pylorid sphincter) at the exit from the stomach. If this valve l&es some muscle tone the liquid food cdn squirt back when the duodenu’m contracts rhythmically.

Read and Crech, discovered that within minutes (of lighting- up,/ a patients pyloric, sphincter loses its normal -competence and allo6 food to reflux.back into the stomach. This happenFin both healthy and dispeptic subjects. After a prglonged history of foqd reflux the stomach wall tends to suc’cumb to the emulsifyink effects of’ the bile acids. This irritation is made worse if the stomach contents are very acid: The stomach wall, secretes htdrochloric acid for digestive purposes, but riormally this is largely’ neutralize‘d , by the * food present. Smoking before a meal is therefore particularly bad’ because, altho,ugh the acid has started to flow in Pavlovian anticipation, there is no food present to ‘neutralize the con- tents. ,

- Pylori’c dysfunction during smoking may result either from the direct pharmocc$ogical effeci of nicotine on, the stomach muscle, or from a nerve reflex (via the vagus) following irritation of the air passages.

Mud, in your eye

A rain-dren%hed crowd of 3,500 watched the University of Western Ontario Mustangs drown the Warriors 42-13 in a muddy football game at Kitchener’s Centennial stadium. During the first-half downpour, The Warriors fell behind 14-0, in less than five minutes of play.

Coach Wally Delahay preferred to look on the bright side. “At least we got on th’e scoreboard this time”, he said referring to the Warriors’ opening-game shutout .against Guelph.,

The two UW quarterbacks again displayed their animal magnetism by attracting the UWO defensive line almost immediately after the ball was snapped. It was a touching ,scene, seeing the

Mustang defence helping the1 qyarterbacks to their feet; it’s a true comfort to see that people still care about each other in these troubled times. The Warrior defensive line was ’ also very moved by the expkrience, usually backwards.

The Warriors will be working the offence in preparation for Saturday’s game against WLU, but the defence will probably get qujte a workout too, since the Hawks ha\e three of the top four rushers in the OUAA west division.

WLU coach “fuffy” Knight calls . this year’s crop of pass receivers “the best since I started to coach here”, which was back in 1962, so the Warriors will have a tough time deciding what to do with their extra defender. This will be the homecoming- game for Waterloo, but the team will be lucky if they can avenge last year’s 48-4 loss to Lutheran. Game starts at . 2pm at Centennial stadium in Kitchener.

c ’ High cost

of sweat

. .Reflections on the High Cost of r Sweat, based on several visits by

the writer, a quasi-jock, to the * branch establishments of a health-

spa organization : Sometime around the early

sixties, when J.F. Kennedy initiated a national fitness’ movement with his health walks, and others climbed onto the bandwagon, making long distance treks just for kicks (sort of Shank’s Pony Revolution), 2 spate of health clubs and spas took seed

-/ that today represent an exploitive , commercial giant somewhere on

the scale of panti-hose and Tim Horton’s Donuts. .

Nourishing ’ themselves on in \ affluent, adipose-conscious North America, these fitness palaces, entice the corpulent residents of Fat City with full page ads of idyllic poolside settings and voluptucjus young models, draped in towels and dry as a bpne, sitting in the sauna bath. A marked contrast from the days of the warehouse gym, where the sup- posedly *mentally inferior, nar- cissistic, lower-class types spent hours straining under the load of several hundred pounds of pig iron, these mass produced muscle parlours, with their sexual oyertones ( “we’ll turn you from a 250 lb. weakling into the James Bond of North York”), promise to leave you considerably thinner in wallet and waist.

A made-from-the-mold, Barbie ‘and Ken Doll-type staffer, decked

out in a dentist’s smock, ostensibly a healer, takes you around for your introductory tour, subsequent to weighing you, prodding your bulging form and making some very professional comments to the effect that “you are a genetic endomorph, but we can help you”.

He lets you run through all the exercises, including a vibrator, and various other jntricate machinations, all-‘. with the capability sf straining j several 1 . -

ligaments, pulling several muscles and herniating 3 or 4 organs simultaneously.

Don’t dare go in there looking reasonably fit, however, ok you’l! be suspected of being a salubrious, self-made spy who got in shape for the price of a diet drink-your ‘instructor’ will thereafter attempt to break your back on the fat rollers and otherwise render jlou sterile by turning the vibrator on overdrive. - -

Having exhausted your ‘guest privileges, our manager, a suave, masculine looking guy name of Troy, with a white turtle neck and alligator shoes, hustles you into his gaudy, ta’wdry looking office respl$ndent with Greek sculpture, to explain their reasonable rates, fantastic fringe benefits, and, if you don’t immediately w&t your jock strap, the guy gets real ob- trusive, forgets all his training, and spits his diet breath mint on your P.F.‘s. .

If there’s any message in this derisive piece of pseudographia, hypokinetic reader, it’s that an ounce of sweat isn’t worth the price of good sirloin; for the price of a month at Dick Manly’s or- Digure Figure you can lose all that, extra corpulence over a year at most universitiys -or community gyms without -having to pay for everything from the purple carpet to the privilege of sitting in a whirlpool tiith some red-eyed mass of wrinkles and varicose veins. A-

There’s really /nothing wrong with all that sugar-coated fitness if you’re wholly unmotivated and upper middle class, but if you don’t mind a cheap sweat and the pungent smell of crusty shorts, save y.our money for some of the lesser evils of this decadent leisure-time seociety.

Women’s intra

representative wandering around on Monday as if they had every ounce of energy expende+they had good reason to. They spent last weekend at a workshop for in- tramurals and intercollegiate

Chevron s-port

J shorts ’ students. The themes of the weekend were to create an awareness of the intramural and intercollegiate prograins and that they must work together in order to, operate at th@r best. .--

Eighty students were’ there representing universities from all over Ontario. They participated in a very “mind-expanding” game called ‘Diplomacy’. It consisted of allocating each .group $25,000 with which they had t9 purchase a university site and budget and operate an intramural and in- tercollegiate program for eight months‘. The game went ,very well permitting everyone to hear each others opinions and collect new ideas for iheir own programs.

Now, the first report on our “ladies” flag football. Only two exhibition games have been played thus far. St. Paul’s vs. V2 North was the first game of the season. The teams in this game were evenly matched-both -having very aggressive offensive lines and strong defensive lines. The final score was l-l.

T.ennis win The men’s varsity tennis team

won their first mebt of the season last Friday by defeating teams from Guelph and Trent univer- sities.

The Waterloo team members dominated play all day, sweeping all their matches for a total team score of twelve points. Guelph was second with (ive points and Trent managed only one point.

The next scheduled tournament for the tennis Warriors is the qualifying rounds for the O.U.A.A. western finals, this weekend. The O.U.A.A. western division finals will be held the following weekend.

Waterloo~will come up against a strong Western team when they travil to Windsor.

The big match of the day wds Vl West vs. Conrad Grebel. Conrad Grebel’s girls must have been practicing all summer because ‘they got on the field and played

‘superbly. The star of the team was Krystal Forbes who ran “like a deer” and scored B beautiful touchdown--clinching the victory for Conrad Grebel at 12-g.

Up and coming events in the intramural department are : the tennis tournament on Sept. 26, and the Volleyball entry date on Sept. 28.

The tournament will be of the round robin type with each player playing one member of each of the opposing teams. Team members are ranked as first, second etc. and as such they play the correspon- dingly ranked players from each of the other teams. Each win is then scored as a point and total points are computed for team scores.

As in past -years a school will be able to qualify both individuals and a complete team for the western division finals.

Head coach, Pat Davis of the women’s volleyball team is in the active process of selecting this year’s Athena volleyball team from a group of forty young hopefuls.

The annual women’s volleyball tournament will be held this year on Saturday No,vember 17.

Since ‘last y.ear’s team was a very young one,there are several returnees coming ‘back to strengthen the core of the team.

With the experience of the returnees and the enthusiasm of the rookies, the teaw hopes to better their third place finish of last year.

-Synthesis ‘* needed , -*

In my years at university, I have seen, read and heard about ,a g,reat deal of literature produced by people associated with’- universities. All of this work is- produced with the hope that it will bring a better tomorrow. This is good. Is that not a goal to which we all strive?

But there is a major flaw in the total result of all this work. We have no con- crete systems by which it is all syn- thesized to form a common perception of - the world. How can we as people , of conscience step forward confidently ’ to make a better world without such a view? In -this university we have engineers, philosophers, biologists, physicists, mathematicians and a bunch of others such as economists and psychologists-and

-each person belonging to their discipline concseptualizes the world in terms of his own narrow training. As a result, we have \ entirely unrelated research. going on throughout the university, and if any of it

is related to any other research it is-only r by accident: It is * often even more ac- cidental if someone attempts a-synthesis.

I doubt if anyone denies the fact that in . a few more short years we may “develop” ourselves off the face of this planet. We may disagree on the time, how, it will happen, and where it will occur first, but WC must concede that the world will not be able to support us or perhaps even many of the “higher” life forms if we continue our present suicidal course.

This is the comknon conception of the future- havoc lingers at our door step. It seems to have been generally accepted by

*those who are up-to-date on world events. Wc have no time for redundancy at this point so we will continue. Nevertheless, on the one hand; there are those who feel confident that using technology and good- business practices’, our present threatened position can-. be overcome. Being

****+ ‘\ When the campus centre was co&&ted in March of 1968, it was administration controlled just as any other building on campus. Student control of their building was not given freely, it was taken from the hands of the administration by the students that felt a need for a student controlled andstudent run building. The original plans for a governing board with majority. sutdent representation had been lost in the shuffle.

These actions in ‘68 brought about the organization of a board independent of the administration to run the campus centre. This board is made up of one staff member, two faculty members, one student representaive from each faculty on campus-nine in total, and one repJesentative from among the turnkeys.

representatives from resources group and

security, physical the secretariat, as

well as the operations coordinator. Meetings are open to all and held every two weeks.

The Campus CentreBoard (CCB) is said to have control of the activities and businesses- in the building. However, the budget is completely administration controlled and large sections of the building have been effectively taken out of the boards control by the Federation of Students. k

Every spring the CCB has to present the administration with a complete budget outline for the next fiscal year. In the past, relations between the two groups have been relatively -smooth and cooperation has been good.

The Federation of Students control their own offices, The Chevron offices, the games room, the record shop, the campus shop, and the. post office. Also, several other interest groups have found their way into offices in the campus centre.

Under the direct control of the CCB are the three meeting rooms, the television

The campus centre, being a social focal other services offered are the washrooms, point for many students on campus, the ice cream stand, and the pub area.

The people that see through this maze of confusion are your turnkeys. Turnkeys are hired every Septmeber, January, and May by the CCB to ensure the building is run relatively smoothly. _ They do turn keys to open doors for-you, they can give you chess sets, cards, ping pong rackets, coffee, and checkers, in exchange for your identification card.

Most importantly they_ can give, or at least always try theirbardest to give, you any help of information that they can. They sponsor movies in the great hall, and

The campus centre is a student building run by and for students with the intention of bringing the university and the com- munity closer together. Rooms for meetings are available at any time. You can book through the turnkeys at the desk.

The student or community involvement in the building is at times very minimal, with most people that use the building treating it like someplace to come and be served. There is little cooperative effort in the maintenance or the organization of the building. ZThe maintenance-cleaning staff are apparently . expected to clean up after everyone-just like home. l

The building has never been and is not now being used to its fullest extent, so it would be appreciated if you would fill out the following questionnaire and return it to the-turnkey desk in the campus centre. ‘The campus centre could be the place you want it to be.
