One of the most patently biased and over-estimated and perhaps over-esteemed, by some people at least, phenomenon to-day, is the rage of the university student, especially the colourless kind. By colourless I mean for those who don ’t know, the wasp, the roman catholic, the white jew , and colourless people of any other variety one can find on the face of this good earth. Obviously, as opposed to the colourless people, One has the colourful people, who by sheer contrast need no description or definition.

The rage of the university student, qualified as that of the colourless kind, is provok­ed by anything in his limited spectrum, ranging from the price of coca-cola, an out­standing sym bol of his culture and heritage, to discrimina­tion of colourful people es­pecially people whom he now very kindly calls negroes, etc. or the war in some faraway place called Vietnam, where he has never been, whose people he never understood, and whom he still does not understand, except of course what he has read in books written by eminent products of his social structure called Theologians, Historians, So­ciologists and Psychiatrists and of some of *he fantastical­ly i n n press of this very structure of his.

This rage of his, sometimes reaching grandiose propor-

tions, is recurrently crucified by the structure towards which he is directed, and of which he will inevitably be a shining, if not a glamourous component.

And subsequently, the seedsare sown the seeds ofignorance, the seeds of ir­relevant values like hate, jealousy, insecurity, psychia­trists fees, camarros, blon­des, coca-cola, pepsicola, wrigleys chewing-gum and friday night beer. Seeds of protection, o f vested inte­rests, and slowly but surely the seeds of oppression. Op­pression of the very peoples his rage is directed towards his leperous culture, heritage, and most powerful of all, his Econom ic structure meting out oppression, and of which he is now an eminent member. Peoples he never knew,, whose

hunger, love, motivations, and life never he will never know, even in his exclusive, epitaph- ed stone hell, where he will lie forever rotting like a self-poisoned poisonous snake.

And thereby hangs a tale...The University affords the

basic spectral elements which combine to present the dazzle of the neon-light, under which lies the naked ugliness.

A comprehensive example of this, is the colourless stu­dent belonging to the engineer-

ing faculty, the commerce faculty and the computer centre of this University. This colourless student has no rage, if any emotions at all some putrid hatex already showing its ugly penis or va­gina in full poisionous glory. As for the other variety belonging to the “ humanita­rian” faculty, he is slow to accept the seed which is wait­ing to be fertilised but will nevertheless do so eventually.

Putting together, therefore these elements namely the colourless student and the administration we have the obviously scented-armpit-

swamp ready to fertilise the seed.....................

The enginneer the com ­mercial conveyor-belt pro­ducts vent their castrated fear by bringing out toilet- paper like “ The Paper” beat­ing up and smashing up centres o f the colourful people and complaining to their irrele­vant faculty administrators that these' colourful people who, sometimes take on the fruitless job of educating them, some to class either

drunk or ‘unprepared’ . And the just administration in all its orthodox and im potent glory takes a truly ‘fair’. or

U niversity Council opened its m ee tin gs to the m asses last w eek a n d to those w ho a tten d ed , it becam e obvious w h y the Council had stalled on im p le m en tin g the open m eetings proposal of the C o m m u n icatio n s Com m ittee.

The people on the U niversity C ou ncil w a ffle . It's a more sophisticated version of w a fflin g than is to be found at S.L.C . m eetings but it is, nevertheless, w a f­flin g . For instance, the U N IV E R S IT Y 'S h ighest a ca ­dem ic d e cisio n -m akin g body delib erated over the choice of a location for their next m eeting for h a lf an hour.

It took double that am ount of tim e to exp la in to Re­gistrar Donald Peets that the U niversity couldn't for­m ulate som e defin itive policy for adm ission of 1969's Freshm en because they didn't kno w w h a t p lan s the g o ­vernm ent had la id for the operation of an English C EG EP .

Donald Peets w a s also upset over the "pressu re ta c­tics'' of the Students' Association in o pening up the U .C. m eetings. He even m oved that the m eeting be a d ­journed because of the prescence of students. But, he show ed everybody w h a t a gre at g u y he is by voting for open m eetings once his o rig ina l m otion had been d e fe a ­ted. Y e a , gre at g u y that Peets!

But, the most upsetting th ing of a ll w a s the response of the students. The n igh t before the U .C. m eeting, the S.L.C . had recognized the need for m a k in g public the decision m ak in g process at the university.

T w e n ty up -tigh t "student le ad e rs'' vow ed that they w ere go in g to open up those m eetings no m atter w h a t, and that students w ere fin a lly g o in g to find out how the big boys plot the course for this g re at big institution of high er le arn in g .

At three o'clock the fo llo w in g d a y , a couple of dozen of these sam e, concerned students assem bled outside the doors of the U niversity Cou ncil ch am b er and m oved into the room en m asse. Tw o hours later, most of those students had left a n d the U .C. h a d n 't even started d is­cussing one of the most im portant item s on the a g e n d a , Sir G e o rg e 's policy re g a rd in g the institution of C E G E P 's next year. D onald Peets m ust have had a good la u g h . He needn't have w a ste d his e n e rgy by m o­v in g that the m eeting be ad jo urned. Their in itia l cu- riousity satisfied, the students left secure in the k n o w ­ledge that the U niversity w a s safe in the h a n d s of people like Registrar Peets and com pany.

The conclusions you reach are pretty depressing. If m em bers of student governm en t h a v e n 't got the interest or patience to sit through a re a so n a b ly short m eeting of the U niversity Cou ncil, then there's not m uch to be expected from the great m ass of u n w a sh e d w ho plod through the halls d a y after d a y flittin g to a n d from classes.

Perhaps w e should forget about the w ho le th in g , pack up a n d go hom e. Th a t's been su g g e ste d before but now , it m ight be an idea to g iv e it serious consideration.

Track trials and tribulations

Editor, the georgian;Mr. Halperin took upon him­

self to be the georgian sports editor this year (bless his lit­tle heart) and in my opinion, has done a rotten job. Events such as curling, golf, rowing, fencing, track and field, wo­men’s athletics, and intramu­rals have seldom if at all, been covered properly.

I am concerned primarily with one sport-track and field- and if you have failed to catch Mr. Halperin’s one line in the Nov. 22nd georgian; “ the Georgian track team captured the OSLIAA championships for the third straight year, Nov. 1st” . Yesnov. 1st!

I am a member of the Geor­gian Track and field team and proud of it and I know of 19 other guys around Sir George who feel the same way. The football team was belted this year; the basketball and hoc­key prospects could look bet­ter; yet 20 guys-19 athletes and a coach (sorry an athlete too) put many hours of dedi­cated training and spirit to­gether to produce a cham pion­ship team. Mr. Halperin saw fit not to cover this sport this year but because ‘ the boys’ brought home the cham pion­ship this year, I feel they de­serve some recognition.

As M exico ’ 68 proved, track and field is exciting, dramatic and challenging. If you are

sincerely interested in being a good sports writer Mr. Hal­perin, forget your editorial garbage on football hockey, and basketball scene and con­cern yourself with all sport activities. Are you scared of visiting the Athletic Offices for some concrete information or are you frightened of de­dicated physical education personnel.

As m y views on the sports editor must be confined to this page, I hope the students will use it as an introduction to the article on the track team which will appear on the sport pages.

Sir George 'helps’Editor, the georgian;

The Sir George Williams University’ s 25th Annual Blood Drive, held this year on the mezzanine of the Hall Building from the 3rd of De­cember to the 5th, broke all records for the amount of blood collected in any Cana­dian University for a given period of time. An average of 69.8 pints of blood were dona­ted per hour, as opposed to the record 68 per hour, set last year by Sir George.

On hand at the opening ce­remonies were Miss Marie France Beaulieu, this year’s Miss Canada, Bobby Rous-' seau, John Ferguson, Floyd Curry and Marc Cloutier of the Montreal Canadiens, Prin­

cipal R. C. Rae and Mrs. Johnson. The chairmen of the Blood Drive ’ 68 were Eddie Rosenthal and Mira Maislin.

Although the drive was ham­pered by bad weather, a total o f 1955 pints of blood were collected in a period of only 28 hours, whereas last year, the clinic was open for a total of 31 hours and the pints do­nated were 2070. The Inter- Faculty Trophy was won by the Engineering Faculty, in close tie with the Science Faculty.

T o close off the Drive, the Levve Loungers and Ben E. King appeared in concert in H-110 at 12:00 Friday, with the auditorium overflowing all through both shows, which en­ded at 4:00. Both groups were brought over by Norm Silver of “ Your Father’s Mousta­che” and “ The Esquire Show Bar.”

Gullible peopleEditor, the georgian;

I read the latest issue of the georgian which calls for a strike. The cause of that is “ Sir George is to become the second French language university” next fall. And this information came from an “ informed source.”

Does this “ informed source have any official representa­tion whatever? What is the name of the person who said that? W hat is, the position of that person with the actual provincial government? Per- sonnally, I do not believe that there is such a person. It is a political gimmick. For, look at it this way. The m o­ment the georgian went out with this information from the “ informed source” , it placed the government in an awkward position. Since most newspapers have their atten­tion focused around the elec­tions, any com m ent on the issue (Sir George to become second French language uni­versity) would spread like fire on an oil patch. And if Mr. Bertrand or Mr. Cardinal would ever say anything about it, it would turn against them. Because they could only say they are “ for” or “ against.” If they say they are “ for” , they might lose the election in Bagot and if they say they are “ against” they might lose the election in NDG. I am surprised that no-one thought of that before the publication of the present issue. It is a very bad publication espe­cially at the time of the m id­term exams.

Diversified interests

Editor, the georgian;

The Hemispheric Confer­ence to End the -Vietnam War has ended. It may not be fashionable in this sophistica­ted and cynical age to mention the stirring scenes which were created by this gathering of people from the 10,000 mile length of the Americas as well as from other parts of the world. People of all ra­ces and many languages were present. Again in this sophis­ticated and cynical age it is usual to suspect Sinister ulte­rior motives behind every­thing, but there were many statements made and positions taken at this Conference that express only the best of the human spirit. An American Indian woman nearly broke

down as she described data which showed that for a re­cent year during which al­most half a million U.S. sol­diers were in Vietnam, it was safer to be one of these than to be an American In­dian at home, due to the very high death rate caused by poor living conditions and lack of m edical care. The young men who turned in their draft cards to the Vietnamese dele­gation will no doubt be univer­sally castigated, but they were simply expressing their dee­pest feeling that they do not hate the Vietnamese people and hence have no intention of helping to kill them.

Thus we found some value in the Conference. We were not disturbed by the some­times heated difference bet­ween various of the attendees. We were not disturbed by the discussions that often contai­ned more wishful thinking than concrete plans for human bet­terment. But we were greatly distrubed by the absence of leadership from the conferen­ce organizers in not inserting into the program even the briefest reference to Cze­choslovakia and other coun­tries where the hand of Rus­sia might is just as heavy as is the hand of American might in Vietnam, Guatemala and elsewhere. Surely in all the hours of debate and spee­ches there would have been room for a m om ent’ s conside­ration of the plight of the people of Czechoslovakia, and of the fact that in our imper­fect world the big countries, whether com munist or capita­list, are able to force their will on the small countries.

Poli Sci protestors

Editor, the georgian;

We, the undersigned, wish to take exception with several of the points ‘ made in the editorial of November 26th.

You state that the brief of the “ Committee for the Advancement of Political Science” was “ rejected in toto” . Bullshit! The proposal was not rejected at the m eet­ing of the Political Science Society nor has it been re­jected by the Department of Political Science. In fact, it has not been submitted to the Department, nor will it be until the Political Science Society ad hoc Committee has

made its recommendations.

Secondly, we would like to com m ent on your remarks regarding the Chairman of the Department (whom for so­me reason you choose not to name). Political Science 211 is not intended to be a course in current events and even if it were, a professor cannot be expected to be om ­niscient like the georgian pre­tends to be. Political Science today is of necessity divided into specialized fields, and Professor Quinn is an expert in his chosen fields of spe­cialization. If, however you wish to condemn any political scientist for not being an expert on American politics, well, that’ s your bag, baby!

We believe that much of the information upon which you based your editorial was second-hand and obviously er­roneous. We demand that you verify any information you intend to present in your edi­torials. It is your responsi­bility to do so.

Misinformed studentEditor, the georgian;

At the time of registration this year, evening students were each hit with an extra $12.00 fee for student acti­vities.

A substantial percentage of evening students do not have the time to take part in any­thing but their classes and assignments. Work and family take precedence.

W ith this twelve dollars, not even tax deductible, we are supporting the luxury of two student newspaper each competing and devoting space to petty arguments on edito­rial policy and content.

This extra $12.00 assess­ment is unwelcome and un­necessary to many evening students. An option of direct­ing the twelve dollars to as­sist students in under-deve­loped countries, or other worthwhile causes should be available. This option would give the evening student the opportunity to share good for­tune with a needy group, ra­ther than by subsidizing a minority group with a subs­tantial amount of money.

Students “crash” Brief proposes two senates University Council

by Anne MacleanAll meetings of the Univers­

ity Council, the highest deci­sion-making body in the Uni­versity, are now open to the entire academ ic com munity following a meeting November 29 which was “ crashed” by some 25 students.

The students entered the Board Room as the meeting was being called to order, and stood in a solid line along the walls surrounding the council table. Mem bers of the Council continued sedately to go through the preliminary formalities paying little atten­tion to the silent group of onlookers.

After a while a Council member brought the presence of the students to the atten­tion of Council, after which the students were officially “ no­ticed” and the question of what was to be done with them came under discussion.

Although one or two Coun­cil members voiced disappro­val of student “ pressure tac­tics” , a m otion presented by Registrar Donald Peets to ad­journ the meeting and re-con- vene elsewhere was defeated.

A recent report of the Uni­versity Communications Committee to the Univers­ity Council had recommended that meetings of all governing bodies be made open, but the Council had tabled the report

pending and investigation into how the mechanics of open meetings were to be handled.

At the November 29 m ee­ting Council decided finally to go through with the move.

Minutes of the meetings will be posted in the georgian and in the library in the Norris Building.

The Arts Faculty Council has also opened its meeting.

Five y e a r p rogram to be g ive n in '6 9

Sir George Williams University will com m ence a new five year program next fall to coincide with the opening of the first English language CEGEP, Dawson College. The first two years of the program will correspond to the two-year CEGEP course and the latter three years will be offered as a university-level curriculum leading to a degree.

A number of crucial questions remain to be answered regarding the new program. Firstly, will the curriculum be identical to the one offered at Dawson College and the ones offered (if any) in other English-language uni­versities in the city.■ Another question is the problem of fees. Students attend­

ing Dawson will not be paying tuition fees and presumably the same setup would apply at SGW U. However, no decision has been announced as yet.

The availability of teaching staff must also be considered. A number of applications have been received by Dawson College officials for positions at that school but no ar­rangement has been made for Sir George’ s CEGEP equi­valent.

Seven members of the Stu­dents’ Association have pre­pared a brief on student go­vernment which, if adopted, will lead to the establishment of two senates at Sir George.

The brief will be submitted to the University Council on Student Life for possible m o­dification. Allan Hilton, one of the authors of the brief, told the georgian that the brief as it now stands is only a ten­tative docum ent subject to im ­provement.

Only one half of the total report has as yet been written: that dealing with the Student Affairs Senate. The second senate would be known as the Academ ic Senate, and propo­sals concerning responsibili­ties and com position, etc. will be dealt with in the next brief.

The present proposal on the Student Affairs Senate was drawn up in response to what was seen as a need to “ con­sider the fusion and re-orga­nization of the areas in uni­versity government of student life and students services.”

Such re-organization would entail the dissolution of the Students’ Association, the E- vening Students’ Association, the Athletics Councils, and the University Council on Stu­dent Life. The functions of all o f these separate bodies and their various committees

would all be incorporated in­to the proposed Student Af- fairsSenate, which would have power enough to put its poli­cies into effect.

The problem with the pre­sent set-up has been that the presence of so many small associations and committees has led to the fragmentation of resources. Hopefully the new Senate, by consolidating the different branches of stu­dent government, would cons­titute a more effective go­verning body.

The proposed Senate would consist of 44 voting members, comprised of 4 members of administration, 2 from the board of Governors, 6 fa­culty, and 28 students inclu­ding the chairman, the Pre­sidents of the various Facul­ty Associations, six Evening students, and 12 Day students.

Some points have not yet been decided upon, such as the question of whether the Chairman would be elected by the elected students of the Senate or by the students at large.

The Student Affairs Senate, subject to the authority of the Board of Governors, will be “ responsible for the stu­dent life of the University.”

Negofiafions to open over Loyola - Sir George mergerSir George Williams and

Loyola College have agreed to negotiate — that is the present stage of the talks between the two institutions.

Although Sir George has pu­blicly announced its intention

to enter the negotiations with a complete merger of the two institutions in mind, repre­sentatives from Loyola have been silent on their goals.

A statement issued last week merely acknowledged

Magical Mystery Tour coming to S ir George

The exclusive, the sole, the first, and the only showing to the top half of North America of the Beatles’ film , M AGICAL M ISTE R Y TOUR, will be presented in Montreal by Logos.

The film was given to Logos for a benefit for five days from December 31st to January 4th.

John Lennon arranged for the London Office of APPLE, the Beatles’ distribution Company, to fly the film to Montreal. Lennon decided to release the film after hearing of the legal and financial difficulties Logos was undergoing. The editors of Logos have been charged with obscenity in their seventh issue and publishing false news in their latest issue, the spoof on the Gazette. Logos vendors are also forbidden to sell the newspaper on the streets. All cases are now pending before the courts, with the obscenity trail set for December 12th. Logos hopes that the benefit will pay the legal fees and enable them to put out another issue.

M AGICAL M Y STER Y TO U R will be shown at the Sir George Williams Auditorium, starting on January 1st, with a special New Year’ s eve preview at 12:30 A .M . and continuing until January 4th, after which it will be sent to Toronto. M a­tinees will be shown at 12, 2, and 4 o ’ clock, and evening showings will be at 7, 9 and 11 o ’ clock. Advanced tickets can be purchases at the Record Cave and at Mansfield Book Mart.

Loyola’ s participation in the talks, saying that they would enter into the discussions with an open mind.

But many people feel that Loyola is not at all pleased with the prospect of merger. It still holds out a desire for a university charter, and even though the current political climate rules out any such possibility, Loyola adminis­trators seem to feel that the advent of a fourth French speaking university (which the government is com mitted to have operable by September, 1969) will enhance their op­portunity for a charter.

Quebec politics, however, will likely dictate otherwise.

The possibility of merger with Loyola is generally vie­wed favorably at Sir George, but the most reticence comes from faculty members. They point out that m uch of Sir George’ s attraction is based on its location - a downtown university in a large metropo­litan center. Merger with Lo­yola might necessitate the moving of some departments to the west-island site, and this is not looked upon well.

Another factor, some facul- ;y members say, is that Lo­yola doesn’t shape up well academically, and thus a mer­ger might lessen the value of a Sir George degree. Some of Loyola’s departments are on a par with their counterparts at Sir George, but it is true that others lag behind consi­derably in excellence.

Xv

The Loyola Cam pus

The Possibilities

There are three possibili­ties that may emerge as a re­sult of the talks.

First, there can be a com ­plete, total merger of the two institutions, either under the name of Sir George, or as part of a newly named institution.

Second, the two institutions could operate under a charter which would see the creation of federated colleges which would have a single governing body, but would nonetheless be semi-autonomous colleges.

Third, the two institutions would maintain their present forms of university govern­ment, except that Loyola would operate as a college of Sir George. This possibility is much the same as Loyola’s current situation with the Uni­versity of Montreal. Loyola’s

contract with the U of M, however, expires in 1970.

SA Endorses Negotiations

The Students’ Association of Sir George has released a statement which “ enthusias­tically endorses” the decision of the University to proceed with the negotiations.

The statement points out that the possibility of a com ­plete merger would enhance the caliber post secondary education in the province by avoiding duplication in course content, and thus permitting a greater variation in the courses offered by each disci­pline.

The SA also feels that the move would be a financial breakthrough as it would eli­minate duplicate spending in basic expenditures as well as lowering capital outlays.

Oxfam campaigns for fundsOxfam of Canada will re­

The Montreal Oxfam committee received four hun­dred dollars ($400.00) and claimed to have sold some of the highest numbers of Xm as cards at Sir George. The cards will once again be displayed on tables placed in the lobby on Wed. and Thurs. with collection boxes and en­velopes.

pular press made the fam i­liar headlines in Canada. As a result of all , this Oxfam of Canada has received two hundred and forty thousand dollars ($240,000) for Biafra from Canadians.

Oxfam of Canada has al­ways taken a special interest in the difficulties of African states and this is the main appeal of the present cam ­paign.

Oxfam is a fund raising organization which distribu­tes to various international channels making projects of running institutions such as hospitals or irrigation works. Like any other organization, volunteers are the main re­source that keeps Oxfam of Canada going. Hence an es­sential part of the Sir George drive for funds is to request some willing and able students

Whether we want to adm it it or not, many of the social problems the world faces today are racial as well as econom ic and no part of the world, white, black or whatother is truly divorced from the problem. We no longer smirk and scoff at the mention of an “ Armageddon” — an all consuming global race war. Canada, Am erica’s in-law and member of the Commonwealth which includes several black nations, is in a particularly precarious position as a historically “ independent” and “ liberal” country. U.S. current events clearly show the results of too m uch m ythical sentiment and too little basic knowledge — and history does not absolve anyone for volitional ignorance in the face of social destruction. In view of such, black students in colleges and universities throughout the U.S. have instituted programs of Black Studies to the avid reception and participation of the cam ­pus communities.

In view of Canada’s social ties and involvement, the black students at SGW U felt such Black Studies programs were urgently needed here. Consequent­ly a Black Students Association was formed with the help of Prof. C. Davis (Education) to begin such a program (as well as the seconary in­terests o f com bating campus racism). The initial stage, the Informal Black Studies Program was finalized with the cooperative funding of the Co­curriculum Committee.

Beginning in January, guest speakers rang- in interests from Jazz (Archie Shepp and Leroi Jones) to Political Science (Charles Hamilton)^ will be presented every week at Sir George. Schedules and recommended preparatory readings will be posted prior to each program. Occasionally during the year, the black students will be spon­soring their own collective programs. The Black Students Association hopes this will spur the early incorporation of pertinent formal courses on black thought and culture at SGWU.

It wasn’t an easy conference. Because it wasn’t a staged conference. The whole spectrum of progressive people across the hemisphere had been invited. With such a list of delegates there was bound to be tension and flare-ups. It wasn’t the intention of the organizers to have a nice big com fortable conference with a series of platitudinous speeches, pa-- nels and workshops on peace to relieve the conscience of a few liberals “ shock­ed” by the atrocities of an immoral war.

It was hoped progressive people from across the hemisphere would come together to exchange experiences and see how they could make a step together in understanding this war and seeing what means could be taken to defeat the agressor. No change is brought about without some conflict. No awakening is brought about without some shock. Many delegations came with their particular hang-ups, their particular screens through which they see the world and its struggles. M any delegates thought their interpretation of the Vietnam War was the absolute one. Many came with their own Vietnam war on their shoulder.

The Black Panthers felt they had been tricked by the organizers into coming without their leader and rightfully de­manded that this be corrected. It was corrected. B obby Seale was there the next day. The Latin Americans felt ill at ease because they were few de­legated representing millions of people. They were given the opportunity to speak

The Hemispheric Conference To End the Vietnam War was a victory. For the Vietnamese first of all, and second­ly, for all true liberation movements across the hemisphere.

It was victory for the Vietnamese people, for both the Democratic Re­public o f Vietnam and the National L ibe­ration Front. Both were represented by full-fledged diplomats at a Conference attended by more than 2000 participants a few hundred miles from the capital of imperialist America. Victory belongs to the Vietnamese if their represen­tatives can come and burn American draft cards on the doorsteps of the aggressor. Victory is theirs when 2000 delegates raise a clenched fist while listening motionless to the national an­them of the National Liberation Front. Victory is theirs when the same feeling of solidarity burns in the hearts of White Radicals, Black Panthers, Que- becois, Colombian revolutionaries, Third World fighters, Puertoricanos, native Americans, M exican student lead­ers, Chilian progressives and Canadian

'folf the millions they represented. The Qiiebecois felt they had been left out ai/2 soon found out that the door was open lor their full participation.

Saturday morning tensions were so .histh that some felt the breaking point had been reached, that the whole thing was about to fall apart. And yet nobody left because everybody was sure that in spite of the apparent chaos there was a com m on cause that cemented the delegations together. Everybody held

-on, fighting it out in strong words.

Frustrations were de-fused, particu­larities were recognized as such and compromises were reached. Divisive­ness waned. Heads of delegations rea­lized that what united them was a lot

'greater than what tended to divide them. Solidarity with the Vietnamese in their st:„ggle against US imperialism. So­lidarity with all the struggling people in the hemisphere. A com m on enemy: the U.S.A. Everyone realized that his struggle is particular, his conditions specific but that the objectives are fun­damentally the same.

Resolution adopted by the Hemispheric Conference to End the War in Vietnam

Sunday was the climax. The plenary sessions were electric. Energies that had turned white-hot through conflict, concentrated together and fused in the thunderous applause that rocked the auditorium when young American draft dodgers rushed on the platform to burn their draft cards and show by this gesture their complete solidarity with the Vietnamese struggle • for liberation.

The Hemispheric Conference to end the United States War in Vietnam held in Montreal from the 28th of November to the 1st of December 1968, after hearing speeches made by the delegations from the Dem ocratic Republic of Vietnam, the delegation from the South Vietnam National Front for Liberation and the delegations from various countries in the Western Hemisphere, has unanimously passed the follow­ing resolution:

-- Sternly to condemn the criminal war the U.S. govern­ment has been carrying out over the last fourteen years against the Vietnamese people.

— Wholeheartedly to support the heroic Vietnamese people’ s struggle for their fundamental national rights, i.e. independence, sovereignty, unity and territorial integrity. To consider the struggle o f the Vietnamese people as a great contribution to the common cause o f the peoples o f the world for independence, freedom, peace and social progress.

— The fact that the U.S. government has had to stop unconditionally its bombing o f the whole territory o f the Democratic Republic o f Vietnam and to hold talks with the N.F.L. o f South Vietnam on questions o f concern to South Vietnam is a big victory o f the Vietnamese people and o f the people in the United States, the Western Hemisphere, and of all mankind dedicated to peace and freedom. This victory is also an eloquent expression o f the force o f justice in our times.

It is however an initial victory because at present the U.S. government still continues to intensify its war o f aggression in South Vietnam, daily committing barbarous crimes against the Vietnamese people there and to carry on its acts o f encroachment on the sovereignty and security o f the Democratic Republic o f Vietnam.

The Conference highly appreciates the contribution made by the people in the United States and in the Western Hemisphere to the common struggle o f progressive mankind for peace and social progress and their resolve to oppose the U.S. war in Vietnam.

In face of the present situation the conference calls on people in the Western Hemisphere and those in the United States to mobilize all forces for the struggle for a total end to the U.S. war in Vietnam. It calls on all strata o f people in the Western Hemisphere to give the" Vietnamese people moral, political, and material support in the most diverse and effective form to organize a week of solidarity with the Vietnamese people in all the countries o f the Western Hemisphere on the occasion o f the anniversary of the founding o f the N.F.L. o f South Vietnam on December 20, actively to support the stand o f Vietnam erhbodied in the statements respectively issued on the second o f November, 1968 by the government o f the D.R.V., on the third o f Novem­ber, 1968 by the South Vietnam U.F.L., and on the seventh o f November jointly by the South Vietnam N.F.L. and the Alliance o f National, Democratic and Peace forces o f Vietnam on a political solution to the Vietnam problem. The Conference calls on the broad opinion in the Western Hemisphere to sternly condemn the U.S. government for its continued war o f aggression in Vietnam and to demand that the U.S. government put an end to all acts o f encroachment on the sovereignty and security o f the D.R.V., withdraw all U.S. and satellite troops, all U.S. war material from South Vietnam, and liquidate all U.S. military bases from South Vietnam: let the South Vietnam people settle their internal affairs themselves in accordance with the political program o f the South Vietnam N.F.L. and the Vietnamese people in both zones decide by themselves the peaceful reunification o f Vietnam w ithout foreign interference.

The best way for the oppressed people to support the Vietnamese people is to fight imperialism in all its forms according to their own conditions. The Conference is firmly confident that with their tenacious and valiant struggle, with the active support o f the peoples in the Western Hemisphere and the people o f the world, the Vietnamese people will surely accom plish their glorious struggle for their funda­mental rights and thus make a great contribution to the common cause for peace and freedom o f mankind.

Minutes of the Nov. 29th University Council MeetingThe following is an extract, of the

minutes of University Council, held on Friday, November29, 1968:

1. The Chairman read a letter from Mr. Manny Kailes, President of the Students’ Association, in which he informed him that the Student Legisla­tive Council had decided that students should attend the meeting of University Council. There were several do/en stu­dents present at the meeting.

Following considerable discussion, the University Council approved a motion ‘that the observers present at the meeting be invited to attend’ so that the Chairman formally indicated this to those present and the meeting continued.

2. University Council, after consi­derable discussion, approved the (new) B. Sc. Honours degree prog­ramme in Economics and, subse­quently, approved the rest of the Science Faculty course-change mate­rial including two amendments to the Biology and Chemistry sections of that material.

3. University Council, after discus­sion of the Arts Faculty course-change material, formally approved the recom­mended changes, including various amendments to the original material.

4. University Council considered, at considerable length, a five-part recom­mendation submitted to it by the Chair­man of Council which follows:

(1) He would recommend that the January meeting of University Council be held as an ‘open’ meeting in Room H635 on an experimental basis with a limited number of tickets of admission available to the meeting.

(2) Fie would recommend that there be provision at the meeting for a ques­tion period from the floor.

(3) While it was impossible to pre­pare and publish the final agenda of Council meetings seven days before each meeting, given the fact that many items on the final agenda only appeared during the days preceding the meeting, he would recommend that the tentative agenda of each Council meeting be published a week before the date of the meeting.

(4) He would recommend that copies of the University Council minutes be deposited in the libraries and in the Stu­dents’ Assoc’ns Office where they would be available for scrutiny by any in­terested students or staff-members.

(5) He would recommend that Univer­sity Council recommend to other Council, Committees and Boards, that they hold ‘open’ meetings.

After a lengthy discussion on each of these points, the University Council ap­proved them and, in addition, approved an amendment to them which added the followingasa 6th item:

‘a precis of the minutes be prepared and published, as soon as possible, after each meeting with the understanding that this precis had no legal status since the minutes themselves would only be validated by action of Council at its next meeting’.

In addition, Part 4 was amended and approved to include the Communications Committee to the list of recipiens of the minutes.

With regard to Part I, it was agreed that there would be a dual booking of both the Council Room and some other larger room as an alternative meeting place, should the attendance prove too large for the Council Room, in this respect the meeting would be ex­perimental. Future arrangements would be determined by the atten­dance at this meeting.

With regard to Part 3, it was agreed that an effort would be made to up-date the tentative agenda each day up to the actual meeting day as additional items appeared, during that final week, for inclusion on the final agenda.

With regard to Part 4, it was agreed that it might prove possible only to deposit a copy of the minutes in the main library rather than in both it and the Science-Engineering Library in the Hall Building. This would remain to be determined.

With regard to the meaning o f ‘open’ meetings, it was agreed that this was to be interpreted as open to the Univer­sity community, students and staff, but not ‘open’ to the general public.

With regard to the time of the January meeting, a motion that this should be held on Friday, January 24th, at 6:30 P .M . was defeated and it was left to the Chairman and the Secretary to determine the day and time of the January meeting (by- formal motion).

5. it was agreed that further consi­deration of a possible reorganization of the structure of the Board of Go­vernors be deferred to the next or a subsequent meeting.

6. (a) it was reported to Council that the search for a new Dean of Graduate Studies was in progress with the Search Committee considering some nominees in detail.

(b) It was reported that the Search Committee for a new Vice-Principal (Academic) had concluded its work and the matter was now in the hands of the Principal who could be expected to make an announcement shortly.

(c) It was reported that the Search Committee for a new Dean of Engineer­ing was at work, with progress being made but it was not possible to indicate w hen a decision would-be made.

7. It was reported that the Commit­tee on the matter of Lim it Loads for Evening Division students in the Sum­mer Session was in the process of preparing a report which would be forwarded to Council in the near fu­ture.

8. It was reported that the Commif- tee on Co-curricular Activities had not yet submitted its report and it was agreed that the Secretary should re­quest this report by the next meeting if this was at all possible.

9. A brief report concerning the re­signation of Assoc. Prof. Byers from the University Communications Com­mittee was submitted by the Secretary who indicated that the resignation had been occasioned by this member’s disagreement with what he considered to be the Committee’s undue haste in dealing w ith matters before it.

10. Concerning an Arts Faculty Council resolution ‘that the University Council be asked to consider again this Council’s proposal for the adoption of a Grade Point Average system, in time for implementation in 1969-70’, it was reported that the Commerce Faculty Council was opposed to the adoption of a G .P .A . system as was the Science Faculty Council. The Engineering Faculty Council had not yet come to a conclusion concerning it but was asked to submit its decision as sooon as possible.

I I . It was agreed to defer the mat­ter of ‘the proposed organization of the Instructional Media Office and its relationship to the Faculty of Arts’ for

two or three months so that the matter could be considered in greater detail by the Arts Faculty Council and its appropriate Sub-Committee.

12. It was agreed that consideration of the Engineering course-change material should be deferred to the next meeting of Council.

13. University Council gave lengthy consideration to ‘a proposal for a Transitional Programme during the inauguration of English-speaking C E G E P s ’ and finally approved a motion ‘that it is recommended that if Dawson College is operating in 1969-70, and if proper financial arrangements can be made with the Province to obtain the staff required, the University offer, commencing in ‘69-70 a five-year pro­gramme, the first two years of which would parallel the C E G E P programme, and the last three would fit the Univer­sity programme’:

14. University Council approved a resolution from the University Library Committee ‘that the University Council be requested to amend the constitution of the University Library Committee so that the membership of the Committee could be extended to include one day and one evening student as an interim measure until new University govern­ment is implemented’.

15. University Council was inform­ed that the Sub-Committee of Council on the matter of a ‘Study Week’ would be submitting a report by the next meeting of Council.

McGill Poli Sci occupation endsAfter ten days of occupation and

strike action, classes have resumed in the M cG ill Political Science De­partment as a result of a negotiating session held last Wednesday at which the faculty finally yielded to student demands.

Exams, originally scheduled for last week, have been postponed for a few days.

Three hundred M cG ill students wat­ched the proceedings over closed circuit television Wednesday after­noon. The following proposals were agreed upon by both students and faculty:

1/3 student representation on the Political Science Section, which at present is comprised of all Political Science faculty piembers.

1/3 student representation on the curriculum committee.

1/4 representation (2 of 8) on the appointments committee.

one Ph.D. student on the Ph.D. dissertation committee and one M. A. student on the M .A. dissertation committee. "These committees ap­prove the choice of topics and final thesis of post-graduate students.

In addition, faculty conceded to student demands that Section has final decision-making powers on the question of appointments. Constitu­tional changes in the section will be effected by double majority - i.e. a majority of the faculty and a majority of students on the sec­tion will be required to make cons­titutional reforms.

Arnie August, student head of the negotiating team, called the outcome a victory for the Political Science Association, but added that Poli. Sci. students will continue to push for parity of representation in their de­partment.

“ The spirit and intellectual en­vironment of the Leacock 4th floor (where strikers have been occupying Political Science offices and holding

educational seminars) must be car­ried into the classroom,” August stated.

A brief presenting the specific recommendations of History students at Sir George will be submitted to the History faculty before January 10.

A meeting of the History Society which represents these students will be held on January 7 in order that the proposals set down in the brief may be discussed.

W hat is to be achieved by the History Society will have a profound effect on all students registered in that faculty. Oddly enough, the most serious problem faced by the society

is the lack of student participation especially of those enrolled in the evening division. Despite the fact that meetings have been held on Saturdays when the majority is able to attend there has been surprisingly little response.

The History Society has been suc­cessful in gaining student represen­tation on the departm ent committee as well as on certain sub'-committees and now has the promise of future co-operation from the faculty. Their present proposals involve an increase in the requirements for honours and majors programmes.

Colin Wheeler president of the Science Students Association finding himself, “ a pawn in a thankless ga­m e,” has resigned.

A paper submitted by a member of the Science Student’s Association stated that Wheeler had not been fulfilling the position of president “ Wheeler was there only for the glory of the position.” His enthu­siasm along with that of the Science Student’ s Association was short lived.

Science Week was to end by renting the Playboy Club. Although there was a two week cancellation clause in the contract, Wheeler signed a $2000 agreement 4 days prior to the event. He submitted a 50% deposit when 25% was sufficient.

Wheeler had many goals and res­ponsibilities. “ The Playboy Club is only one instance of his incompetent, inefficient and irresponsible leader­ship.”

The SSA now feel that “ can work as a unit and in harmony with the students.”

urban renewal 1 -Jeanne ManceThe Jeanne M ance Housing Project

was completed in 1957 and stands on 19.7 acres of land on Boulevard Mai- sonneuve, near St. Urbain.

The Project is easily recognizable by its twenty-eight yellow brick apartment buildings, which stand out in sharp con­trast against the dingy brown flats of the surrounding neighbourhood.

Jeanne M ance is Montreal's only ope­rating low-rent housing project. It is Jean Drapeau's kind gift to the silent poor of this city, who comprise one-third of the population and live in some of the worst slums in C anada , under the shadow of Place des Arts, Place Ville M arie, and the rest of Drapeau's pre­cious monuments to himself and his ad ­ministration.

by Anne McLean

O f the 796 families now living in Jeanne M ance, approximately one-sixth are on welfare. The monthly income of the average tenant family is $235, while the average monthly rent is $45-46. Rents are scaled according t„o familyincome, and are adjusted on a monthly basis, so that if for instance a manmanages to augment his regular earnings for a month, he will find that his rent for that month has been raised accor­dingly.

A municipal clinic is located in the Administration building, and there are laundry facilities in the basement of each of the adartment buildings. A group of nuns, Les Petites Soeurs de I'Assomp-tion, provide nursing, cleaning, and some counseling service for tenants. There is a youth club, as well as a sewing club for housewives, and a "Go lden Aqe" club.

Daniel M arsan, Administrator of theJeanne M ance Housing Corporation, a private body which operates the Project, tells you all of this in a wary, defensive manner. A former bookkeeper, he dis­plays a certain matter-of-factness and a lack of close involvement in the lives of his tenants.

He seems, however, honestly convinced that the situation at Jeanne M ance could hardly be better. He points to the low incidence of alcoholism and juvenile de­

linquency and says, "W e don't have too much trouble here. The police force doesn't have to come too often." Security police are on duty twenty-four hours a day.

U n ive rs ity settlem entNot far from the Jeanne M ance Project

is the University Settlement, a neighbour­hood house in the district which also serves as headquarters for the Urban Social Redevelopment Project. W e talked with C laire Arseneau, a case worker and community organizer on the staff of the Institute of Mental Hygiene, who now works in conjunction with the Set­tlement and with a local action group called the St. Jacques Citizenship Com­mittee.

Mrs. Arseneau was considerably less enthusiastic than M arsan about the con­ditions at Jeanne Mance.

"Jeanne M ance," she said, "is a pole of attraction for low-income, multi-prob­lem families. . . . a ghetto of multi­problem families."

She feels that the people of Jeanne Mance lack many necessary services and facilities. She emphasized that poor hous­ing is only one component of what she termed a "vicious circle" of poverty. As long as there is widespread unem­ployment, and schools remain unequal to the task of providing an education for children from disadvantaged neigh­bourhoods, then to set up subsidized housing is to treat only a fragment of the whole problem.

As an illustration of the need for a more integrated, all-encompassing prog­ramme of social assistance, Mrs. Ar­seneau cited the case of one woman whom a social worker from the Institute of Mental Hygiene had found to be un­dergoing a severe nervous breakdown. The woman was given moral support and the Institute supplied her with special drugs. Her condition began to improve. But the drugs increased her appetite and she couldn't afford to buy the amount of food that she now needed. She was forced to discontinue use of the drugs. At that point there was nothing that the Institute could have done, since this par­ticular matter was out of their "juris­diction."

Little researched information is ava il­able on whether or not the children from the renewed area are doing any

better at school. Mrs. Arseneau said that the evidence seems to indicate that not much has changed, and that they are still meeting the same problems.

Our schools reflect the value system of the dominant middle class, and there­fore contribute to the high drop-out rate among slum children. A child from a poor family can adapt only with difficulty to a classroom atmosphere which is set in a suburban Dick and Jane world having little relation to his own knowledge of what is real on the outside. In many instances, the child lacks basic verbal skills and has a vocabulary which is quite different from that used by his teacher. Specially trained teachers are needed to work with these children.

H alf-hearted effortCom pared with what needs to be done

in the field of urban redevelopment, M ont­real's efforts are half-hearted and myo­pic. Apparently content with having e- rected twenty-eight apartment buildings on land which once supported a slum, the City has let the situation rest there. The Jeanne- M ance Project employs no social workers of its own and provides no counseling services for the families living there, apart from the work of a few nuns from a nearby convent.

A community centre has not yet been built, although one has been planned. If tenants want to meet together, they must use the maintenance hall, a small one- storey building measuring about 30 by 40 feet, with a Coke machine, a tiny office, and an adjacent room large enough to accomodate a small group of people.

For a while a community action group, the St. Jacques Citizenship Committee, was quite active in the St. Jacques area of which Jeanne M ance is a part. Last year the Committee held a demonstration at City Hall to protest the rent system and certain regulations at les Habitations Jeanne Mance.

M any people feel that the practice of adjusting a tenant's rent to every rise in his income tends to be destructive of incentive. When we brought this up in the interview, Director M arsan told us that although there may be some room for criticism of the system, "once you have adopted a system, you have to keep to it."

Another objection raised by tenants at the time of the demonstration was over eviction regulations. Leases at Je an ­ne M ance are renewed on a monthly, rather than a yearly, basis. Residents can be evicted on three days' notice. To date this year, however, there has only been one eviction.

The City Administration paid little a t­tention to the demonstration. According to M arsan, the St. ■ Jacques Committee is no longer active at Jeanne Mance, the leading instigator having settled down to pursue a more peaceful life at the Project with his wife and seven or eight children.

Marsan smiled at this manifestation of the governing force of the Universe.

O n s 'h ab itue a tout.

"W hen our volunteers go into a com­munity, they must not bring 'solutions' to the local problems. . . They mustbelieve that the people should decide. Essential to this is our belief that the 'underprivileged' are worthy of respect and we have much to learn from them. Our concept of ourselves and the com­munity is not that of a doctor-patient relationship. A more apt analogy might be a catalyst which seeks to initiate or speed up a process."(A im s and Princip les, the Com pany of Young Canadians, 1967.)

Id e a l?The Director of the Jeanne Mance

i Housing Corporation calls the project"id ea l."

A community organizer in the area says it is " a ghetto of multi-problem families."

The Director tells you there is awonderful community spirit among thefamilies in the project; the organizer talks of the "institutional atmosphere" and the repressive regulations.

You start your investigation equipped with preconceived notions about parti­cipatory democracy and re-establishment .of the community. You seek out repre­sentatives of the Establishment and the anti-Establishment, ask them all the glib questions, and even are mildly surprised to find that their answers confirm your pre-conceptions. (

The Director of the Housing Corpora­tion reluctantly admits that ninety per cent of the original slum inhabitants never applied for residence at Jeanne M ance after their homes were demolish­ed, but assures you that this is because "some people don't like to live in a clean house." You naturally assume that the Director is covering up, because you have just spoken to a social worker who said that a study had shown that the expropriated families were never made aw are that a housing project was being constructed in place of their old homes.

And you watch a few children playing in the nursery school at the University Settlement. You explore St. Urbain near Pine, see the bent old people in black, the sagging old brick buildings, the gar­bage lying in the alley ways. You stare horror stricken at the monster yellow brick high rises of les Habitations Jean­ne Mance.

And with these heroic images packed aw ay inside your brain, it's back to the University, great factory of truth, where you discuss urban renewal and decide that yes, the poor are getting screwed and yes, the poor must be organized.

But all along you have failed to un­derstand that you are playing the same manipulation game, because unconciously you view the poor as an instrument for acting out your o w n . political hallucina­tions. You, just as willingly as the bu­reaucrats at City Hall, would disregard their real needs to preserve your little visions of how it ought to be.

Little Burgundy- urban renewal 2Petite Bourgogne, the latest of, and

most ambitious of the City's undertakings in the area of urban renewal seems at first glance to represent a welcome antithesis to all that is repellent in the Jeanne M ance Project.

“ Little Burgundy comes from the peo­p le", Mrs. Arseneau, a case worker at the University Settlement, told us. And one cannot fail to be impressed by what has been constructed on St. Martin Street. One block has been renewed by reno­vating as opposed to the old method of demolition and reconstruction. W hat was beyond saving has been replaced by modern one story attatched dwellings. Each home has a front and back yard. The interiors are not spacious by any means but have been completely revamped so as to enable a family to function, if not in an easy convenient fashion, at least with some semblance of dignity and efficiency.

by Jill Ross

That is what we saw immerging from the mud on St. Martin and so we floated aw ay nodding our heads. A few of the prob­lems we had encountered at Jeanne M an ­ce seemed to have been dealt with if not in their entirity at any rate in part.The towering antiseptic apartment blocks had been replaced by the single unit dwellings. The renewed area had been rebuilt in its original surroundings with no attempt being made to create a se­parate island apart from the community. There were no fences yet apparent, no signs that the community to be would be anything but a vibrant functioning and contributing part of a society which was at last fulfilling its responsability to it as a less fortunate segment of that complex mosaic called the city. As Jeanne M ance had stood for an attempt by the City to hide the poor under a sham of respectable housing, to isolate them, hold them captive and render them power­less, all under the guise of paternal protection, so we hoped that Little Bur­gundy would prove a sort of sociological milestone, a modern city coming to terms with itself, by itself. All unadalterated bull shit.

“ Little Burgundy comes from the peo­ple"

N a iv e s tatem entThe C.Y.C. people we met in the area

could only smile politely at what they considered Mrs. Arseneau's naive state­ment.

G race Lee, one of the Company who has worked with the citizens formally inhabiting St. Martin St. block, that is before expropriation for the renewal pro­ject had forced them out, to told of how the citizens of the area had been harried two years in advance of actual expro­priation. W hat frightened them was a sudden interest in them an the part of the City manifested by the presence of an alarming number of little men with tape measures, calculating frontage and asking family statistics, and more par­ticularly by the hitherto seldom seen grave looking executives (in pin striped suits no doubt) all of solemn mein and stroking their respective chins thought­fully.

M any people moved out then to beat the scramble for what little low rent housing was availab le in other areas, being able to preceive from experience elsewhere that expropriation was in the air. Others stayed and organized in an almost unprecedented effort to maintain

themselves and their homes and especial­ly their autonomy as homeowners and taxpayers against an Establishment which displayed such a sudden and arbitrary desire to help. The citizens committee formed was soon able to confirm their fears as being well grounded in fact The City did indeed plan expropriation. When they had planned to actually tell those most affected by their action (that is the residents) of the plans somehow all got lost in the embarassed hems and haws which emanate from City Hall.

So the myth was exploded. All lovely dreams of the Administration answering a citizen-initiated request for help were squelched.

W h o got chosen?Which brings up the question of how

if the citizens did not ask for aid, and in fact were the last to learn of the “ g ift" to be proffered upon them by the benevolent City Fathers, was the area pinpointed for urban renewal in the first place? How was it selected to be the lucky one from numerous other poverty “ pockets" which afflict the city? All of which naturally yields to the question, who gets what out of urban renewal? Is it the poor who benefit by, at the whim of the City, being turned out of their homes, only to, should they return, be subjected to loss of autonomy,, having forfeited their rights as free self de­termining citizens by partaking of the "com pany store", as it were. Meanwhile what about the original landowner, slum landlord, or speculator from whom the land was purchased by the City in the first place, or the contractor who was awarded the contract to develop the area, and the sub-contractors who actually work on the site. And how about the City who munificiently runs the project on a de­ficit? W ho really does benefit?

One of the main wishes voiced by

the people living within the bounds of the renewal area is their desire to pre­serve their autonomy, an impossibility under the present system of public hous­ing by which urban renewal is adminis­tered. Jeanne M ance has effectly silenced any virulent outcrys by strict enforce­ment of eviction laws and by the intro­duction of a rent system based on in­come. This allows those on welfare to exist in the project at a phenomenally low rent rate. No person experiencing the joys of living in an almost rent free environment under the protection of Father Jean , is likely to risk his position by passing critical judgement. He would automatically endanger hiy po­sition by stating that perhaps the interests of the tenents are not being served by the development.

Little Burgundy will be the same. Despite pleas and pressures brought to bear on the City by the citizens com­mittees the project will be run on a public housing basis. This system will inevitably destroy the community set up in the area although it is one of the oldest parishes in Montreal no thought seems to have been given this fact. This willingness to destroy cohesive elements within the community represents a flam ­boyant disregard for the traditional as­pects of an established environment.

Citizen partic ipationR.T. Affleck in his article “ Urgent

need for urban change", The Montreal Star, August 17,/68, commented on the problem in the following terms, “ One of the most striking aspects of this ex­perience to date has been the almost complete absence of citizen participa­tion in the process. Generally speak­ing, the needs and desires of the people living in the designated renewal area have been ignored, as have those of the population groups that the renewed

facilities are supposed to serve. This high-handed process has generally ma­nifested itself in the harshness of ex­propriation and relocation procedures, as well as in the creation of new en­vironments that are often more ap ­propriate middle class notions of pro­priety, than to the life style of the re­sidents for whom the project is sup­posedly designed".

S ilen t get littleThe silent poor are interested in those

things which more fortunate people take for granted: food, decent housing and work. They want the basics. They are not concerned with lofty social ideals that seem neither pertinent nor relevant to their situation. Only in terms of their immediate desires can any form of real social change be meaningful to them.

However this is not to say that the poor do not see their problems is cos­mic terms. They have long recognized that urban renewal is not a problemof housing alone. It has been seen by them to be a circular problem whichmust be attacked from several pointsat once. It is of little use to improvehousing conditions if one is not prepared to simultaneously upgrade education ci- ricula to suit their particular needs, and also to provide decent recreationaland medical facilities. Indeed all aspects of the community require reorganization and complete revision. In the process of urban renewal, the prime concern should always be the general improve­ment of the environment for the good ofthe people. Who will decide the form ofurban renewal? Only the poor people themselves understand the nature and extent of the problems facing them. The­refore, only the poor people can provide the solutions. W e can all work to help them carry out their plans. But, the poor people must speak for themselves.

National title shot nears as....

Varsity pucksters inconsistent

Blast C.M.R. 23-1, look sick at Laval

Swimmers sock it to YanksRepresentatives from the

mightiest swimming power in the world, the United States, were left bewildered this past weekend as Sir George swim­mers scored a stunning upset in the Cardinal Relays held at Plattsburg State Teachers’ College. This marked only the second time in the history of the relays that a Canadian team has been able to defeat the American universities re­presented in the meet.

Canadian swimmers as­tounded all the com petition as they truly proved to the U.S.

that Canadian swimmers are to be reckoned with and to drive this point home, last year’ s defending champions, the University of Vermont, could place no better than third. The powerful M cGill squad ended up battling with Sir George in the final relay in order to decide the meet. The final results were;

1) Sir George-76 points (won because more firsts)

2) M cGill-76 points3) Verm ont-70 points4) Plattsburgh-64 points5) Norwich-34 points

Superb backstroker Jo h n H a w e s

6) Potsdam-28 pointsAlthough Sir George and

M cG ill each had 76 points, Sir George had won more re­lays than M cGill so the vic­tory was theirs. Between the two schools, however, they took all seven of the first places in the swimming events with only the diving going to an American school.

Outstanding for Sir George was Clifford Barry who swam with his whole heart and soul. His time in the 100 fly was even better than the time he did in the nationals last year. And his blistering 100 free pulled the 400 free relay into an unexpected 2nd place. Othei Sir George stalwarts who per­formed brilliantly were Bla- ckie Chase', Pete Cross, Doug Hogg and John Hawes.

The Georgian win, even m o­re significant since they were the only school without d i­vers, took a supreme effort since the four winning relays fielded had to break meet re­cords to win. Two of the re­lays even broke pool records and a third just barely missed breaking one.

National honors?

The Sir George swimmers have had a tremendous first half of the season winning all three of their meets against stiff competition. The first in the Quebec Cup series saw

B rillian t breaststroker Peter Cross

them defeat arch rivals Me Gill for the first time ever, along with several other teams.

Their next m eet was a dual contest against ever menacing Queen’ s but Sir George was just too tough and Queen’ s was •crushed 62-41.

W ith a full contingent pre­sent for their third and tough­est meet, the Cardinal relays, the desire and sheer fight of the Georgian squad gave them their third victory of the year- and their biggest. They had defeated the Americans and M cGill in the same meet. It

was a joyous day.The second half looks to be

as tough as the first. The Garnet and Gold meets M cG ill several times and the Quebec Cup winner will be decided.

They also face further Am e­

rican competition. They are after their seventh consecuti­ve OSLAA Championship as well and it doesn’t look as if they are going to be stopped. Then there is the big one-the nationals. L a s t year’ s champs, Toronto is there a- long with British Columbia, last year’ s runner-ups. Al­berta, Guelph and M cGill are also there as well as the rest of Canada’s universities. It is going to be a great one.

Of all the varsity teams at Sir George, it looks as if the highest hopes for top national honours in a college sport lies with our swimming team-if they can’t do it no-one can- and if they do pull through into the top three and even win the national crown, it will by far be the most significant Sir George athletic achievement of the year.

by Robin Palin

The word around Sir George Williams lately was that the hockey team lacked scoring punch. This contention was blasted to kingdom come last W ed­nesday evening at St. Jean.

In what Georgian hockey coach Dave Dies called “ not even a good shinny m atch” the hockey squad broke three OSLLAA records and crushed Col­lege Militaire Royale 23-1.

C M R is the weak sister of the league and are incapable of defeating any OSLAA team and taking* accidents into* consideration, are not likely to post a win during the season. They were especially weak however on W ednesday evening and dressed only 12 players.

Hit hardAfter having a rematch with the M acDonald

Clansmen on Tuesday night cancelled, the Geor­gians hit with a vengence lacking in the early part of the season. They took advantage of the C M R weaknesses and hammered a record 14 goals be­hind the hapless C M R goaltenders in the second period alone. At one point they scored thrqe goals in less than a minute.

Goals-a-plentyLeading the goal-getters for Sir George was

Jim Webster with six while Bill Ellyett chalked up five-adding five assists as well. Team cap­tain Toby O’Brien was high point-getter of the night with four goals and seven assists for a legue record 11 points in one game.

Phil Scheur and Bob Phillip each contributed a

hattricks to the effort while Larry Meehan and Greg Harmon scored one each. Meehan also picked up two assists.

More points awardedRay LeCouffe and John Murray were credited

with four assists apiece with five assists going to Barry Cullen and two to Len Lewin.

Toby O 'B r ie n - Tops in O .S.L.

Gary Thornton, Neil Fernandes and Mike Ban- koff all boosted themselves in the scoring race with one assist a piece.

Out of a total of 63 shots on goals, C M R goal­tenders stopped 40 while Georgian goalie Tom

Anderson managed to kick out 27.

Back to earthUniversite de Laval brought the Georgians back

to reality on Friday night as they pasted Sir Geor­ge 8 -0 in an exhibition Coupe de Quebec tilt.

The Rouge et Or fielded a big team this seasor with the average player tipping the scale at jusl over one hundred and eighty pounds.

CEGEP fallsSaturday afternoon the Georgians faced a Trois-

Rivieres CEGEP which has appfyed for entrance in the OSLIAA league next season and beat .them7-5, in the second exhibition m atch of the weekend.

O’Brien heads league scoringTeam captain T oby O ’Brien jum ped ahead of

former teammate Alex Mathew in the Ontario-St. Lawrence Intercollegiate Athletic Association sco­ring race. W ednesday evening, when he picked up four goals and seven assists.

O’Brien now has ten goals and seventeen assists while M athew trails with seventeen points.

A fourth year Commerce student, O’Brien has been team captain for the past two years. Last year he scored 20 goals and 26 assists to place as the team’s third high scorer.

T oby has done his share of work on two OS­LIAA championship teams in his three years at Sir George. It would be a fitting conclusion to a superb collegiate carreer if he can help the team to the league crown or win the individual scoring championship this season.

IF YO U C A R E A B O U T FO O TB A LL , R E A D T H ISby “ Skoop”

Tis the season to be jolly. For those of us around this place who give a damn about what happened in the past and what will happen in the future, there’ s not much to be jolly about. I take this opportunity to wish a Merry Christmas to all you sport lovers, but I am afraid that as far as athletics goes here, it will not be a very happy New Year. I could go on about what I see wrong in the entire Varsity Athletics program, but Head Jock Steve assigned me football, so here goes.

This is going to be brutal. For once we are going to tell it like it is and not spare any of the gory details. Maybe some of you apathetic slackers will finally pay attention. The football situation at this place stinks. There is no other way to describe it. The coaching is poor, to understate the case. Everything that will be said about Head Coach Frank Elk has already been said in the Jock Desk this year, but a little reminder wouldn’ t hurt. Coach Elk has become the laughing stock of the team and the school, and likewise, the team has become the laughing stock of the school and the league.

Coach Elk’s offensive plays are immature and unrealistic. They are inadaquate for pee- wee football. (That is no exag­geration.) His techniques of blocking and tackling are antiquated and ineffective. As a unit, the team is very poor­ly drilled, very unorganized and com pletely unprepared for competition. Coach Elk com ­mands no respect from the

players and has becom e the cause of dissention on the team.

We have nothing personal against Coach Elk. It is strictly his coaching ability that is in question. His tremendous enthusiasm is o- ver-shadowed only by his complete lack of football knowledge.

If the athletics department can hire such an incompetent coach, does this reflect that the athletic department knows nothing about football? If so then why don ’t they ask some players who they think should coach the team.

Though the players see­mingly had m uch cause for dissatisfaction with the coach­ing that wasn’ t the only thing they had to bitch about. How would you feel about having to travel 5 to 10 miles daily to attend practises. This was the situation as our athletics department could find no place closer to the Hall building then Verdun Stadium to hold workouts. The result was that on top of being forced to sacrifice two and one-half hours a day of valuable study time on the football field, players also had to waste two or three hours a day travelling to and from Verdun.

It is easy to pass the buck and say that the only reason for the failure of the football squad was the lack of talent among the players. Let us keep one thing in mind. These are not pro athletes. They receive no financial remune­ration for their efforts and nor do they ask for any. All they ask is a little bit of

appreciation from their fel­low students for the blood they sweat for the “ Dear Old Garnet and Gold” . Looking up at em pty stands does no­thing j'or a player’ s morale. You will say that it is not much fun to go out and sup­port a loser, but unless the spirit of our students im ­proves, the Football squad will continue to be a loser. If the University of Southern California had a losing foot­ball season, only 65,000 fans would flock to the L.A. Co­liseum instead of 75,000.

Let’s face it. This was our first crack at league foot­ball play, and it was anything but encouraging. But if we are

going to get discouraged now, we might as well quit. Inter­

collegiate football has ever so much to offer this institution, but unless a complete change of attitude on the part of ad­ministration and students comes about, the seeds plant­ed by the thirty odd fellows

who sweated their asses this year so that all of us could have something to cheer about on a brisk autumn Saturday will never reap a fruitful harvest.

S.F.U. turmoil quietensby Allen Garr

BURN ABY (CUP) --Sim on Fraser Uni­versity is a depressing place today (Dec. 2). For the past two weeks the mall, centre of the university’s physical structure, the gym ­nasium and the administration building have been bubbling with activity. But now it’ s all settling down.

Students have exams in less than a week... their heads are in their books. The teach-in which was voted bn, talked about, argued over and proposed, to get at the root of SFU’s structural problems, is not com ing off very well.

A faculty of arts meeting Thursday (Nov. 28) voted in favor of a teach-in to take the place of regular classes. But there is a m o­vement in that faculty which will surface to ­day to condemn the “ m inority” and “ unre­presentative” faculty members who supported the teach-in, “ express deep regret” at Strand’ s decision to call the cops, and request Strand work to get the charges dropped against the 114 who were busted.

But this “ conservative” upsurge is in m i­crocosm what has been happening throughout the university for the last three years.

That’s the way it is in this whole maple- syrup country.

You tell some guy he’ s not living right and he’ ll say he is.

You try to change him and he tries to stop you.

I could tell you the arts faculty who voted in the first meeting were in a minority, 75 out of about 250. I could tell you the people who chose to occupy the administration buil­ding were in a minority, 200 out of 5,500 or so.

I could tell you the people who have been proposing change at this cement tom b since the day the body was put on public display three years ago are in the minority.

The majority usually opposes, sometimes there is a compromise, and, a few times, this minority succeeds in swaying the furry middle.

Democracy efficientM y reservations in condemning a small

but militant minority stem from m y uncer­tainty about the efficiency of dem ocracy --a dem ocracy where everybody votes on every issue and everybody is heard and everybody is informed. I see this as no absolute panacea for the illness of the university.

M any in the university com m unity don ’t vote, don ’t want to vote and don ’t want to spend their time being informed.

This is an age of specialization baby...digit.

Besides, some people like to be told what to do. And your arguments that say every man should be free to determine his own life are less based in fact that mine which conclu­de some animals are more equal than other animals.

M y ideas on that might change. For now, however, I think the mass middle must be manipulated to achieve social change.

Education first? Education is just a nice word for manipulator.

Now if, in my opinion, minorities have the right to lay their trip on the majority, that means the radicals at SFU are right in at- temping to convince the malleable and des­troy the rest... for the good of mankind.

They might have been right in occupying the administration building and bringing about confrontation that way. But they were stupid.

They underestimated the opposition, Strand.He is cool.He lost a bit of face by calling in the cops

Ibut the main com plaint with that move is a lot of kids may end up with criminal records.

Peace reignsThe campus is calm now, students have

packed the library to study and most pro­fessors are conducting business as usual, with the consent of their students.

Students in the library admit they are un­der the final-exam gun. As for the teach-in, an arts type said: “ W e’ve talked about the issues for the last week, in and out of class. I want to get back to work” .

On calling the cops, he, like many, felt Strand should have waited a few more days. “ The occupiers would have soon realized that other students were opposed to their action and would have pulled out.”

Should an administration call in cops to bust up a student occupation? The radicals reject the “ ivory tower” definition of the university. They say the university should not be divided from the rest of the world. It is an integral part of that world.

“ We have dem ocracy off campus, we want it on cam pus,” they say.

When radicals want support at SFU they call up members of the NDP and labor lea­ders. They use political pressure to make their point; so, by their example, should the administration.

And the most bare-assed example of poli­tical pressure is 150 cops clearing out a building.

Cage squad disappointing in first half of seasonby Gord Pickle

It could be said that the Varsity Basketball team has not enjoyed a terribly successful season thus far as they now stand in fifth place in the O.S.L.

The Georgians have won two and lost four in league play, but their re­cord does not tell the whole story. The only game in which they were outplayed was against the powerful Loyola squad presently running away with the championship.

The other games have ended in close decisions, such as the Georgians’ 64-61 win over M acdonald, and their 62-61 loss to the University of Sher­brooke. Apart from the Loyola contest, the Sir George squad could have won all their games, had a few breaks gone their way.

That the Georgians are real com ­petitors has been clearly illustrated in several games so far. It was seen in Sherbrooke, when the Garnet and Gold came back from a twelve point half-time deficit to win the contest. The Sir George squad again played the role of com eback kids as they fought to overcome a sixteen point margin which R .M .C. was able to build up. Though the Georgians managed to tie the score, they lost the game 61-57. Had there been more than a handful of spectators at the game to

cheer them on, the Georgians could quite possibly have gone on to win.

One of the most disappointing as­pects of basketball at Sir George this year has been the lack of fan support for the team. A fast head count at the last home game revealed the fact that there were 26 people in the stands, most of whom were relatives of the players. The team deserves much better support than this.

A solid team effort rather than an individual star has provided the spark for the Georgians. Chris Vidicek and Rod Ward have shared the scoring honors and have shone defensivly. Ter­ry O’Brien has been particularly ef­fective on the boards for the Garnet and Gold.

W ilf Jackson has done all that can be expected of a captain as he has fed his team in every sense of the word. His defensive work has been impressive and the 5’ 7” guard has also been prominant in the Georgians’ socring.

Ken Davies, Dave W ilding, Mike Dawson, Preston Jennings, and Mike Russo have all had a chance to come off the bench and each has performed well.

The cagers also have a “ B” team made up of players who don’ t normally get a chance against league com peti­tion because they lack experience.

Jim Aitken, Duncan Rayside, Kevin M cCarthy, Chris Countess, Dave Ivey, Ed Keeler, and Wayne Hawkins put as much drive and spirit into their game as does any Varsity regular. The “ B ” team is undefeated this year.

The Georgians face a tough schedule for the rest of the season. The team travels to M acdonald and R .M .C ., two teams which are noted for their ins­pired play on home court. Bishop’s and Loyola will both be met at M ont St. Louis. The squad is finished with the University of Sherbrooke for this year, having won one of the two games played against the Frenchmen.

The Georgians can certainly improve on their record as it stands now. The team should be able to bounce Bishop’ s and a really concentrated effort could mean a victory over M acdonald. R .M . C. will probably be tougher and every­one knows what Loyola is like this year. However, if the squad can find the hoop when they really need to, Sir George could very well find itself in the championships.

COU RT SH O RTS: Dave Wilding wins the prize for marksmanship...one of his warmup shots missed the back­board and picked off a clock on the M ont St. Louis scoreboard., look out, Loyola... Georgians’ next home game is on Jamuary 11... opposition will be Bishop’ s University Gaitors...

Christmas Jock Desk

The H ead Jo ck a t th a t in fam ous desk

Well, we finally cleaned out the Jock Desk ... though we usually get the contents of this column from the Thursday evening waste paper basket, we decided that there just wasn’ t enough dope in the “ circular file” for our semester ending issue ... after finding, among other things, a stale salami sandwich, a rotten apple, a ripped up pair of loafers and a Mothers of Invention album, we did manage to salva­ge scads of info about the athletic exploits of Sir George Students over the first half of the year ... here’ s a brief rundown on what happened,what should have happened and what didn’ t happen on the Concrete Campus Jock scene over the first term.

ROOKIE GRIDDERS SAD LY 6U T C L A SSE D Those of us who were closely associated with the achieve­

ments of this university’ s first attempt at organized Cana­dian football would probably just as soon forget what trans­pired and look ahead to next season. The Frank Elk coached pigskinners played six Central Canada Intercollegiate Foot­ball Conference games and were decisive losers in each of them. After opening with a 27-7 loss to powerful Loyola College Warriors who were destined to win the division ti­tle, the Elkmen got weaker and weaker to a point where, in their last game of the scedule, a return engagemet with Lo­yola, the Margin of victory for the Westenders was sixty points. The team suffered from general inexperience and disorganized play, and were also hard hit by injuries. Among the bright lights were tackle turned halfback Jim Edge, defensive back Ron Pentecost, linebacker Rock Wol­fe and Quarterback A1 Rafael.

SOCCERMEN THIRD IN OSL The Varsity soccer squad fared a little better than their

counterparts on the football scene, but it was still a relati­vely dissappointing campaign for Coach Ron Licorish and his team. After finishing in a tie for top spot in the Ottawa St. Lawrence loop last year, the team had to be happy with third spot this time around. The kickers collected their show money by winning five of ten games and tying another, and they were directly responsible for knocking Loyola out of a title win by holding the Warriors to a 1-1 standoff in the final game. Andree Farkas was far and away the best of our soccer players, and he received much support from Geoff Gelineau and Clive Licorish. Dave Mulaner was out­standing all season in goal.

GOLFERS LOSE CONFERENCE CROW N Our defending OSL golf champions weren’ t so lucky this

time as they had to settle for second spot behind Bishop’ s in the conference tournament held this year at the Bellevue club. However, all was not lost for the Georgian swingers as Bruce Weatherley of our squad was the low medallist for the thirty six hole affair with a cool 152. The Sir George team emerged from the Plattsburg invitational with top spot, and Weatherley was again the low scoring individual golfer in the event. In the Georgian invitational, sponsored by guess who, Wheatherley once again was the individual leader, though the team championship went to the group from Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

THINCLADS REPEAT AS OSL’ s BEST Once again this year, Coach Doug Insleay’ s Georgian

Track team were successful in their quest for the conferen­ce title. The Garnet and Gold brigade barely nudged CMR, 74 points to 73 at the annual meet held at Kingston, No­vember 1. Veteran star Bill Peel of Sir George was awar­ded the High Agregate total, as he won first prize in the 800 yard, 1 mile and 3 mile runs. Other first place finishers for Sir George were Mike Russo in the high jump and 120 yard hurdles and A1 Cooper in the Triple Jump. The Georgian relay team were victorious in the 440 event.

TENNIS SQUAD FINISHES FORTH The tennis ream representing this University wound up in

a tie for fourth place in the OSL this past season. The only returnee from last years squad was Timmy Jones, so we can write this off as a rebuilding year for Georgian Tennis. Jones also coached the team, which also consisted of Doug Granger, John Niles and Hugo Preslod.

W ATER POLOISTS W IN FOURTH STRAIGHT CROW N For the forth time in as many years, The Sir George W il­

liams Water Polo team has proved to be tops in the OSL. The Garnet and Gold machine splashed their way to an un­defeated 6-0 campaign which was capped by a sizzling come from behind win over McGill, 13-12 last Wednesday eve­ning. Coach Jeno Ats was once again fortunate in having on his side Clifford Barry, who is called by any to be the outstanding Poloist in the nation. Others who contributed to the perfect season were Joe Roboz and Blackie Chase.

SW IM M ERS HEADED FOR SEVENTH IN A ROW Who ever heard of one team winning seven league titles

in a row? The Sir George Varsity swimmers, that’ s who. There seems to be no way that another OSL team can wrest the title from the secure hands of Insleay’ s Aquamen, and then the team will try its hand at winning the national title. To date the swimmers have won a joint meet with Queen’ s University and have taken a decisive lead in the Quebec Cup series after the first leg of this event was reeled off at McGill’ s Sir Arthur Currie pool. Rookies Doug Hogg and John Hawes have been valuable additions to the already awesome lineup which includes Cliff Barry, Pierre Dus- sault, Blackie Chase and Steve Richman.

WRESTLERS OFF TO GOOD START Harry Wolfson and Barry Nye, coaches of the Sir George

Wrestling team, are optimistic about the team’ s chances of taking a conference title, and participating in the Natio­nal Grappling finals, which will probably be held in Mon­treal some time in March. To date the team has split its opening two contests, losing first to MacDonald and coming back to dump Loyola. The team has been augmented by several members of the football squad but the man to watch is Gordon Birdie. Birdie is the fellow who just fell short of earning a spot on the Canadian Olympic team when he broke his arm during the tryouts.

ICE, CAGE SQ UADS START SLO W LY Elsewhere in this issue are in depth analyses of the hoc­

key and basketball situations. Suffice it to say in this co­lumn that unless these two teams pick up their socks and start bearing down, they may find themselves sans a berth in the league playdowns next March. Neither of these teams are idle during the holidays. The Cagers travel out to Win­nipeg to take part in a Golden Ball competition on December 27 and 28. The hockeymen have an appointment with the Georgian old-timers at McGill Arena on December 28, and then take part in the third annual Centennial Hockey tour­ney at the forum January 2 to 5.

AS THE SU N SETS SLO W LY IN THE W EST...So now, the jock desk is clean ... I can vacate this inky

establishment for a hard earned rest with a conscience clear in the knowledge that I have at least pleased all of the people some of the time ... Merry Christmas and all that... To faithful jocks Robin, Gord, Warren, Rick and Steve, thanks for making my job impossible ... Time to go home... I’ ll leave you with a few parting thoughts and hope to see you all in ’ 69 ... Adolf Hitler Was a nice guy ... Frank Zappa is a clean cut kid ... Frank Elk is a great football coach... Ho, Ho, Ho...

Soccermen third inO.S.L.

Champs on paper, chumps on the pitch. That about sums up the dismal season of the Sir George soccer team.

No other team in the six team league had so many se­cond and third year men re­turning; eight in all. To this solid nucleus came an impres­sive number of rookies.

What, but a championship year, could coach Licorish expect with vetrans like Jim Robertson, Mark Wilson and Andre Farkas up front and captain (last years M VP) De­rek McGlauglin, Clive Lico­rish and Dave Mulaner ancho­ring the defense. Add to this Jeff Gelineau of the Trinida­dian national team, Ofkahn Dalli of a Turkish first divi­sion squad and Art Cory, Quebec National division all star, and the team was envi­sioning the cup in their pos­session.

In the opener they were shutout 3-0 by Kingston. It took this game to jell as prac­tices were sparse and training facilities poor. After the ini­tial loss the team racked up 4 straight convincing victories, and were on their way, so it seemed. Injuries to Gelineau, Farkas and McGlaughlin in the fourth victory left them weak for their arch rival Loyola.

Although hampered by these injuries they put a strong fight and had a 1-0 lead till the last minute of the first half when goalie Mulaner was ki­cked unconscious and the game tied. From then on Loyola ea­sily went on the register a 4-1 victory, and the Georgians on to lose an easy game against St. Jean.

After that the only enjoya­ble moment for the team came in their return match against Loyola. Loyola needed the vic­tory badly to stay in conten­tion with Kingston for the crown. They were leading 1-0 with 3 minutes remaining when Farkas lobbed a high ball that had a backspin and dropped behind the Loyola netminder.

The' tie was even sweeter as five regular members of the first string were missing.

W hat next year? Who knows. One thing for sure, if there is to be a serious attem pt for championship there must be a greater concentration on re- cruting. If not at least the bus trips will be again enjoyable.
