Other matters dealt with at the meeting included : -

The union urged that all ad- vertisements for posts at can- adian universities should be placed first in Canadian pub- lica tions ; that no adver‘tise- ments shoulg be placed abroad unless no-one has replied to the Canadian ads and that grads who are-Canadian citizens or land- ed immigrants should be giv- en preference.

He replaces 60-year old -Ross Willis at Western. Willis has held the shame position for the past 31 years.

His contributions to FASS Nite in past years made him well known to students. His leaving will add significantly to the increasingly faceless and impersonal nature of the university bureaucracy.

l two further matters brought ~ up by English: one being a re- quest for another $100 to return the voluntary fee to those grads claiming it, the other being a bud- get proposal for a “breakaway” graduate student union. __

Such a union would, have a ‘fee of $14 per member per term. Calculation of this figure was determined by reducing the present $22 federation Ee by the chevron subscription price -- of $8 (it actually takes $4.90 of the’ $22). English feels that “any of our members who wish to re- - ceive the chevron could do so on payment df the a subscription price,” alt(hough he makes no as- surances that graduate students would not take papers freely ac-

for 12 issues of the grad bag at $100 per issue though actual cost, according to editor Tom P?well is between $160 and $170 per issue.

One further decision ten tered on the question oJ open meetings. The union decided to vote on open executive meetings at L its ‘next meeting after Powell threatened to resign. General meetings, however, will be open in the future regardless of the vote results.

Camp Columbia is ahead of !ust year’s schedule .

Camp Columbia, the student operated and financed summer camp, is progressing very well with plans at least two months ahead of last year.

As well as the ever present need of money, the camp staff reports that as part of the crafts program they will n&d large numbers of used books and ma- gazines.

The director, Bill Jackson, warns again& sending harold robbins classics and the like as he

feels that ‘reading such literature would greatly impede the coun- sellors’ so&al productivity .

Also on the agenda is work on some new semi-permanent cam- per sleeping structure& If ydu . see a peculiar looking structure grow up over night on campus you can be sure it’s not the gnomes but probably the intrepid camp staff’s housing unit.

All. in all everything seems un- der c&itrol.

City cops make arrest Last thursday night-for the

second time in a week-a student was arrested at a campus center pub.

The student had apparently been drinking obtside the pub door and was taken into custody after hassling a police officer over refusing to return to the pub.

drinker outside the pub is more likely to b& cooperative if it is explained to him that he is jeo- pardizing the * campus center’s liquor licence. .

For the last three months city police have been‘ employed for pub duty rather than university security guards, a practice which began when several guards were not available because of illness and -city police ‘were assigned in- stead.

Although several pub sponsors offered to pay campus police as much as city police, they must abide by the unive.rsity’s pay scale and are not in a position to make such a decision.

Security chief Al Romenco was unavailable to commeht on the suggestion that the scale be re- vised or that some other .means of payment be devised.

Since then, campus guards have not volunteer& for this over- time duty because they receive only $3.25 per hour while city po- lice receive $5 per hour for the same function. The security off ice explains that campus guards would be assigned if they volunteered ; otherwise city po- lice are procured.

MM is grass boots club

According to people who spon- sor pubs as well as campus cen- ter turnkeys, campus police gene- rally are niore tactful than regu- lar officers in enforcing drinking laws.

Assembly near/y folds GUELPH (staff )-After two

weeks with the threat of bank- ruptcy looming over its head, the university of Guelph student assembly has arranged a $20,000 bank loan to cover outstanding debts.

The student government has been in financial difficulty since january when student pledges to join the voluntary union by pay- ing a $15.50 per term fee dropped from 76 to. an estimated 20 per

’ cent of the student body. Past assembly president John

Flegg, admonished in ma?ch for arbitrarily closing the student press, the Ontarion, collected the fee for two terms but had riot paid any bills since,Beptember.

When student support waned in january, the union was at least $10,000 in debt-a bill that in- cluded $3,000 owing to the Guelph administration.

An eleventh-hour attempt to recoup losses failed miserably about two weeks ago when the feature attraction of an assem- bl y-spdnsored rock festival- the Guess Who-did not show up. Tick- kets had to be refunded.

Much of the money originally paid to the union could not be accounted for when the assem- bly’s centralized book-keeping ,sy- stem broke down. By this system, funds were pooled, and expenses for all activities came from, only one account. A change in hired business managers was cited as &he reason funds were misalloca- ted and ineptly handled.

The assembly was only saved from declaring bankruptcy by a ban negotiated on its $20,000 in- terest in the Guelph campus co- w Administration president \

Winegard has refused to accept what the assembly claims is a growing demand to return to an adirriinistration-collected compul- sory fee until at least 85% of the students voice approval.

Present assembly president David Simpson‘ calls for a more secuie use of the fee by estab- lishing separate, essentially autonomous spheres of activity -such as an authority for social and cultural athletics (compar- able to the Waterloo federation of students’ board of student ac- tivities).

Under the plan, a union coun- cil executive would act only in the capacity oc an activity co- ordinating body.

The Ontarion, which. had depend- ed upon a portion of the old vo- luntary fee, has become incor- porated and now sells term sub- scriptions (ten issues) for $2.00 per student, or individual papers at 25 cents apiece. To date, only 300 subscriptions have been sold on a campus of 2000 summer students.

Radio Griffin, in receipt of a recent administration grant of $25,000 and as yet, according to a reliable source< with only one broadcast outlet, is also in fin- ancial trouble and has .begun accepting advertising.

BIRTH CONTROL CEIVTER

7-9 p.m. on Wednesdays

Campus Cenier rm. 206

Larry Caesar and Bill Jackson examine plans for Carrip Co&mbia which were recently sub- mitted by architecture students for a class project. Most of the plans were not practical con- sidering their budget requirements.

This wee& from pollution probe - ’

Pollution is OS g&t policy. . / Last week, the Canadian gov-

ernment finally saw fit to ban use by the individual consumer of two herbicides which are highly suspected of causing birth deformities. The two herbicides commonly known as 2,4-D and 2, 4, 5-T, produced by Dow Chem- ical, Litton Industries and others, are the main weapons used by the U.S. military for biochemic- al warfare in Vietnam.

Recently available research reports by the U.S. government indicate that 2,4-D and 2,4,5-T cause severe pre-&al defor- mities when ingested ‘by preg- nant mice and rats.

The research w& carried out when it became obvious that in defoliated areas in Vietnam, the incidence of defdrmed babies increased significantly. All in- dications point to the fact that pregnant Vietnamese women were ingesting a component of these herbicides (dioxin) in drink- ing water which had been con- taminated.

The extent of damage to hu- mans in Vietnam has not yet been reliably estimated but at the present time more than five million acres of that country (approximately 12% of its total land mass) has been heavily Sprayed with a number of bio- logical warfare agents, mainly 2,4,5-T. Most often the herbieides have been used in populated areas; villages and hamlets tihich are considered “unfriendly” to the U.S. -cause of democracy in Sotitheast Asia.

Recently, the programme of crop destruction, begun by L the U.S. war machine in 1962, has been stepped up. The ultimate aim of the crop destruction pro- gramme is to deprive the Viet Cong of food supplies by bioche- micaly destroying agricultural

production ih unfriendly ireas. As usual the effect has increased

previously. Long after the war has ended, regardless of the vic-

starvation, particularlg in the tor, these ‘problems and their civilian population, especially effects will be deeply felt by all among children. , Vietnamese people.

Long-Term Effects There are indications that a-

side from the short term effects of defoliation, which result in prolonged starvation, a number of long-term hazards seem likely. All reports indicate that vegeta- tion, particularly hardwoods, do not regenerate quickly after defoliation. It has also been shown that in marshy areds, 2,4,,5-T cau- ses lateralization. Lateralization results when organic matt?r in

.the soil ceases to be produced normally, the soil breaks down and forms a substance not unlike brick. This is an irreversible ecological process.

Defoliation, as it his been carried out extensively in Vieti

,nam through the “use of 1 these herbicides, has also had marked changes on the ecological ba- lance ‘of the area. Destructibn of vegetation, especially around delta and river areas, has made subsistence impossible for or- ganisms which were the main food supply of fish-one of the few protein staples in that coun- try’s diet. This may seem a mi- nor dislocation in a country where napalm bombing and free- fire techniques are common- place. But its effects are wide- spread.

Chemical warfare has and is creating millions of refugees, destroying the -,means to feed them, and rendering the agricul- tural area incapable of further support for an unknown period of time. Investigations have con- firmed that dioxin remains ac- tive in soils which have been spray- ed as long as fourteen months

A Current Issue ( Despite the fact that the effects

of these chemicals were made knpwn over a year ago by the Pentagon, the sale of 2,4-D and 2,4,5-T continued on the open market to Canadian householders until l&t week. Now the indivi- dual householder can no longer procure it, but no mention was made of its use by industry.

Most municipalities spray roadways each springtime. Hy- dro and telephone companies use sprays to clear undergrowth along power lines. In diluted forms, these herbicides are used on such common weeds as dan- delions and on fodder crops such r as corn for domestic animals.

Last year the U.S. government scientists began testing 2,4-D and 2,4,5-T for yet another , rea- son. Millions of young chicks died after having eaten certain types of processed feed contain- ing dioxin. It is known that under 1 heat, dioxin can be produced’ into a whole class of chemical sub- stances, some of which have been found in animal feeds. Scientists now speculate that dioxin pre- sent even in dilute forms of 2,4, 5-T remains in the harvested corn and its by-products. In this manner it is passed up the food chain. Bio-assays on chick em- bryos revealed that all the em- bryos were killed by’ dioxin poi- soning. There is every reason to suspect that if the organism sur- ’ vives, (a chick perhaps), the dio- xin will be passed on to the con- symer .

Care for some Kentucky fried chicken?

t Buit’s \feplucement not So naive-- GUELPH, (staff)-J. Percy Smith, former execu- tive secretary of the Canadian association of uni= versity teachers (CAUT) will likely be appointed academic vice-president by the university of Guelph board of governors at its may 22 meeting.

Smith, a Shaw scholar, will replace Burt Matt- hews who leaves Guelph july 1st to b$ome p?esi-, dent of the university of Waterloo.

Though the secluded Matthews has previously stated that he has -“never seen examples of in- (tustry influencing university programs, either on-the-side, or through the board of governors,” Smith-an outspoken “liberal’‘-has criticised the intrusion of business and \ industry into university affairs.

“Intellectual wakefulness, ” states ’ Smith,

“expresses itself through. penetration, analysis and criticism-through individuality and the willingness not to conform-even through outright heresy and rebellion, but not through uncritical acceptance of prescribyd policy, whether of corporation, church or government. ”

Smith reserves his strongest criticism for apply- ing principles of business efficiency to universities and programs such as the tri-me_ster system. \

Matthews., his predecessor and a soils scientist \

states “we should listen‘to people in industry.” Sgith received his PhD from Berkeley and was

a professor of english at Saskatchewan for ten years until 1958. He has written for the university of Toronto quarterly, the Yale review, the Shavian, the Tamarack review and the C.B.C. Times.

Let’s hear ‘it for the library. They’ve gone and put all the oversize books back into the shelves with all the regular, ordi- nary books. This sounds prac- tical enough, but hard hats and football pads are becoming the order of the day over there. Ask the guy who tripped over one and broke his arm if he thinks it’s a wonderful idea. Ask the people with bloody noses. They don’t think it’s a wonderful idea.

* * * Somewhere well hidden in the

last Gazette was a small item about John Robarts being on campus two weeks ago to see a play. The play was part of the Ontario high school drama fes),i- val. John was not attending as premier or anything, just as a parent. His son Tim was in a play where the workers have some sort of contest with the ruling class. Tim was one of the workers. This is corrupt and de- gradacious behavior . - Tim would. make a better junior executive, I think.

I would like to personally con- gratulate the PP&P tree experts

for selecting the poetic weeping willow to enhance the lawns a- round the faculty club. Although the hills used around campus to hide roads and parking lots burn

in mid-summer. from lack of water, these stalwarts of land- scaping boldly decided that weep- ing willows would do well on the top of a hill. They sure will. Moth- er nature just plants them in wet, boggy areas for the hell of it. The trees will die, says a biolo-

gist friend of mine, in a year or two. It’s nice to know that PP&P plans to have enough money a- round to buy new ones by then. Great.

THE CAJUN WAY-DOUG KERSHAW The cajun way is a good record. Not a great record, mind you, but a good record.

Included in the album is \ Louisiana man, Kershaw’s best -known song, about his father, and life among the swamps of Louisiana.

The record reveals the strong, influence that the family has on the Cajun -folk. As well as Louisiana man, two other songs on the album, Papa died o/d, and \ Mama and pwa had love re- late directly to this theme.

The first song’ on the record, Diggy diggy lo is a real toe- tapping, foot-stomping down-to- earth rouser. 1

I also like the second song on the album, /f W& don’t stop rushing (we’ll ne’ver get there). As the title implies, it’s a kind of “message” song.

Cajun music is greatly in- fluenced by religion, much ‘like country and western, and Ker- shaw is no exception. This comes out strongest in the family-re, lated songs, but is obvious in al- most all the tunes.

AVING SO’LVED ONE OF Nature’s Riddles and patented her Basic Struciure, Bucky Fuller warits to save the world from Ob- livion. ’ -’ _

His rbad map to Utopia goes like,this: Man has always had all he needed. He lived

on an earth with infinite a’mounts of all the raw materials from which to fashion the good life. He took the easiest route to wealth.

Now the earth is in trouble; The fossil

fuels are depleted, populations explode, the earth’s ecology is traumatized by greed and carelessness, and man can always push the button and blow himself away.

Enter Buckminster Fuller with The Torch of Hope.

“The Design Science Invention Revolution- carried out by students and scientists can save Man and tiake him a sucess, if nuclear, obli- teration can be staved off for the next 30 years.”

Utopia or Oblivion is Fuller’s Gospel of the Salvation of Spaceship Earth.

Bucky Fuller must be classified among that curious American species of wigged-out in- ventor-capitalists translated by Puckish Fame into a most wondrous creature to behold.

He is Thomas Edison of a Thousand and One Inventions crossed with Henry Ford and his Ship of Peace.

Patent number 2,682,235 issued in June 1954 translated R. Buckminster Fuller. He was no longer the mad scientist tinkering in his basement. The patenting of the geodesic d&me legitamized Fuller. He was a success and the 5% royalties on every dome constructed quickly made him wealthy. \

In America, success, money and power d6 not corrupt. Success glorifies. Money canno- riizes. Absolute Power deifies. Whether a Rockefeller qr a- Ford is the Force of Good or the Force of Evil is irrelevant. By God and Free Enterprise they are gods.

The geodesic dome insured Fuller’s canno- nization. Today Fuller is a Latter Day Saint - of the Only in Ainerica Through Industrializa- tion Thanks to Free Enterprise Can W‘e Save the World Church of Metaphysical Prag- matism. .

Prophet of the design science invention re- volution, consultant to NASA (he explain5 why the Moon shot is good for humanity) and tout- ed by the whole earth catalog, Fuller is em- bracing the most antagonistic elements in the U.S. today.

Fuller didn’t intend to become an inventor or a capitalist. He ‘wanted to save the world. And he still does.

He told his biographer R.W. Marks: “I did not set out to design a house that

hutig from a pole, or to manufacture a new type of automobile, invent‘ a new system of map projection, develop geodesic domes or’ energetic geometry. I started with the universe -as an organization of regenerative principles frequently manifest as .energ$ systems of which all our experiences, and possible ex- periences, are only local instances. My objec- tive was > humanity’s comprehensive success in the universe. I could have ended up with a pair of flying slippers.”

Utopia or Obhion chronicles how Fu.ier did all the things he didn’t plan to do and out- lines all-the things he would like to do to save the world now. The twelve chapters in the bobk are comprised primarily of spe’eches Fuller has delivered in the past five years aS he jets around the world spreading his gos- pel. Because Fuller is an exfemporaneous speaker whd-prefers to think obt loud in front of his audience, the book can become abra- sively repetitious when you find yourself read- ing the same ancedote in four consecutive chapters.

* * l

Three years,abo I spent two days with Full- er hearing him, in two speeches and in private conversations, expound many bf the facts, and ideas found in Utopia or Ob/ivion.

He appears to be just another retired busi- nessman wearing an oversized tan trench coat, ‘ready-made s&its, a white shirt collar too large for his neck, hearing aid eyeglasses

land an Omega watch on each wrist. Slack skin hanging from his firm jaw and his bald head wreathed by close cropped white hair give witness to his 75 years. __

, Buckminster Fuller delivers an address that accelerates like a s&oke-belching steam en- gine. He fidgets, stammers and stutters when he begins. Then he starts to warm to his ‘to- pic- the delivery becomes smooth and quick. The ideas energize his body. He gesticulates with his arms as if they were pistons react- ing to an explosiod of thought. The-concepts

spark from his mind until the audience ex-’ periences motion sickness trying, to keep pace with his visions.

He stops. A little bewildered by the dazed yaudience. He begins to backpedal and plead.

“I’ve had people say, ‘You’re an optimist.’ I don’t like the word optimist because it means you’re looking at things with rosy glas- ses. I’m still’ a mechanic. I carry a machinists card! I’ve commanded ships, carried beef, built buildings. I Fan doctiment every thing

-I’ve said. I can make it i success.” Fuller sits down, after a two and one-half

hour speech, kicks his feet quickly under the table like a child sitting dn the edge of a swim- ming pool splashing water.

Prophesy is a hard business. One night I heardlfuller address the above plea to a small group of stunned architects. The following night most of -his audience of art students walked ou: before he finished his speech.

Mind-blowing philosophy’ - / Fuller’s philosophy, a Complete Self-Prov-

ing Closed System of Reason, is what supports his accomplishments and visions. It also blows minds.

Fuller is a pre-Socratic in the post-indus- trial age. The inventor of the geodesic dome- one of the most important architectural break- throug’hs in mod&n times-is the first man since the ancient Greeks to formulate a philo-

-sophy on the mathematical principle of the triangle.

Pyth,agoras discovered the proposition a- bout right-angled triangles; that the sum of the squares on the sides adjoining the right angle is equal to the square on the remaihing side, the hypotenuse.

The decad-a series of ten dots arranged’in four- rows to form an equilaterial triangle- was revered by the Pythagoreans as a mystic- al symbol of the mathematical harmony of the universe. , ,

e Plato -was apparently the last philosopher (before’ Fuller) to take triangles seriously. The “Timaeus” slates the- true elements of the material world are not earth, air, fire and w3- ter, b;ut 4.~0 kinds of right-angled triangles. The two types of triangles, Plato wrote. are the most beautiful forms and therefore god used them in constructing matter.

Fuller’s comprehensive statement of his Philosophy is ‘laid out in a chapter entitled “Design, Strategy.” In it he lists 40 “strategic questions” which he has spent his life trying

bi Allen Nelson, Originally to Ianswer and 14 “dominate concepts” u-

published in Corpus nique to his philosophy.

(UPS) may 70. Fuller’s cosmology envisions the triangle and especially its derivative form, the tetra- hedron, as the basic structur$ form of the universe. I

is to change the external ‘world of man. He realizes that it would be impossible to change man in’s lifetime, but is hopeful that the en- vironment can be changed.

A- cruciil30 years Fuller regards the 20th century and in par-,

titular the next 30 vears as crucial in the his- tory of the human race.

Thomas Malthus the Sritish statistician de- .termined in the 1930’s that man was repro- ducing himself faster than he could feed himself. .Then Charles D&-win announced his theory of evolutipn and the law of “survival of the fittest.”

Political systems based their ideologies on these two assumptions. They asked, “How do you get along without enough?” And the reply was, “Our side has the best chance to sur- vive.” Great arms races developed between ideologies. All the scientists were .employed to develop more powerful weapons. “For the first time in history you can’t use your greatest

weapon,” Fuller writes. “Yet both sides ass- ume warfare.”

Fuller disputes the conclusions and to- gether with some ather scientists believes that advanced technology will be able to handle the population explosion. -

So how’s Bucky going to save the world from annihilation? That too is wrapped in the triangle and tetrah’edron. Wouldn’t you know it.

Fuller supports and augments his theory of Utopia with his private diary, the Chrono- file, and his Inventory of World Resources Human Trends and Needs.

- Fuller’s theofy for Utopia goes like this: Since the triangle encloses a space most

efficiently and a tetrahedron is the elemental system of the universe illustrates nature’s method of doing everything in the simplest, most efficient manner. Fuller observes that man has never followed this example, rather he has done things in the easiest way with no regard for efficiency. Only a small group of men have used nature efficiently. Sailors, and more recently aviators and spacemen were removed from the earth’s land masses and fort-ed to get maximum performance out of eiery pound of mattIer in their-ships. They had to do more with less. Scientists showed them how.

CHEVRON BOOK’REVIEW

Utopia or oblivion: Prospects for humanity. Bantam, 1969’

I

Throughout the book Fuller recites again and again how the standard of living-has risen since the turn of the century so fhat now over 44% of mankind enjoys the highest standard of living ever attained while only 1% of hu- manity enjoyed this in 1900. All this is a re- sult of industrialization, while at’ the same ._ time material resources per capita were diminishing., \

This phenomenon is explained by what Full- er calls ephemeralization~the doing of ever more with ever less, per given resource units of pounds, time, and energy. The law of con- servation of energy-states that energy can be neither created or destroyed. Knowledge can only increase. Wealth defined as the combina- tion of energy and intellect can only increase.

“Ephemeralization was vastly -augmenting the standards of living of ever increasing num- bers, but only inadvertently, as fallout from the defense-subsidized preoccupation of science with a weaponry supporting industrializa- tion.“, If the present rate of “scientific fallout” continues, 100% of the human race will enjoy a high standard of living by the year 2000, even if the present rising birth rate is not curbed.

+How to Make the World Work,” a compu- terized game developed by Fuller and Sou- thern Illinois University was designed to show the validity of his theory and to hone the pro- cesses by which Man invents Utopia Fuller further concludes t.hat this high standard of living will abolish war and because man has no desire to fight when his wants are satisfied.

“If all the -worldk machines.” Yes, Friends, Ihe Military-Industrial com-

plex is your Savior if i doesn’t kill you first. , f This is where I part company with the Uto-

pian theory of R. Buckminster Fuller. , One of Bucky’s favorite parables (I have it

at least twice in my three-year-old notes and it appears in almost every essay in his new book) go& as follows: If all the world’s poli- ticians’s were set on a trip around the sun, they wouldn’t be missed. Man would go on eating, he might even be better off. But if all the world’s machines were sunk to the’bottom of the ocean, two billion people would die within six months. .

You may be perfectly right Bucky, but god-

dammit man politicians are not going off in space! Not now! Not e&r!

Throughout Utopia -or CWivion Fuller blithely ignores’those facts that are hanging up mankind (and could hangup his neat tetra- hedronal philosophy) as‘ much as science and industrialization are helping humanity.

Not that Fuller doesn’t deplore the way things are. He does. But, and this is where I lost faith, he ignores it. , He ignores politicians. He ignores the rn-ili-

tary industrial complex. He ignores the fact t

7 at Standard Oil, Royal Dutch Shell, Gulf and

a few other -oil companies are sucking the world dry. He ignores the fact that four out of five american dollars being idvested by Big Business are being used to buy up the rest of 1 the world.

He ignores the fact that only 1 ob.000 peo- ple (or less) own over 90% of the United Sta- tes’ private wealth and that they are heavily subsidized by a government that starts so- cialism at the top and so little filters down that one-third of ‘the richest nation lives in

poverty.

Yeah, sure, Buckminster Fuller knows these harsh realities. He documents many of them in his book. In his philosophy he ignores them. He.sends them around the sun with the poli- ticians or he disqualifies them from playing his Electronic Salvation Game, because they start a war.

His only answer to these myriad problems all bound inextricably with the concepts of Pri- vate Property is found in “DeSign Strategy.”

“Physical or ‘natural’ law hh no inherent static “property” law-only behavior ‘proper- ties. Nature’s laws of evolution defy all static patterns. Entropy breaks them up. “Owner- ship” is not immoral, ammoral, or ethically unsound. Physical “ownership” is antientro’p- ic-ergo, eventuallv unsustainable.

The design science t-&olution envisioned by Fuller is the spontaneous comb&tion 01 students and scientists discarding the- shack- les of the universities, busiqess and gave-t-n. ments and independently inventing the tool: that will create Utopia by the year 2000.

If, Buckminster Fuller is right and /we do achieve his Utopia-- a Rockefeller will own it. Utopia would be Oblivion.

The Chevron’s recent analysis of the controversial Quebec pro- vincial election is indicative of a considerable deficiency on the part of political integrity. To the’ same extent it is a blatantly poor example of objective journalism.

To say the least, Mr. Charbon- eau’s rather biased commentary was sufficiently lacking in statis- tical’ profundity. His rather med- iocre conclusion that the elector- al system of that province in question is by and large respon- sible for the results of April 29, reflects ,an inexcusable inaccur- acy on his part as well as a failure to thoroughly examine the forces and influences-political and socio-economic-which were so influential in providing the sub- sequent results.

_ FREE DELIVERY Indeed: the Liberal victory

Chevron Cfossword Puzzle ._ Across 42. Attorneys (abbn) ’ 76; When a.m. turns to p.m. _ --

cannot be undermined. It was a victory for federalism and future econo,mic stability and quite un- derstandably a defeat for the communist-inspired sources of separatism.

Although it may be said that the present electoral system is outmoded, it is certainly not un- representative of popular ’ as- pirations. To blame the Parti Quebecois defeat on such a tri- vial issue is, to say the least mere shortsightedness on the part of Mr. Charboneau. The so-called “inequalities” of the electoral system were actually glimpses of a reality present in Quebec today i.e. that the majority of the electorate did not want to become separated from Canada.

Elementary School poetry (I’ve never read a Canadian novel in connection with an English course) ; 4 courses in Economics, all taught by Canadians but with- out Canadian content (I learned about the U.S. Federal Reserve system without learning about the Bank of Canada). The rest of the list is much the same* That is, having a Canadian Professor is no, guarantee of having someone - in better tune with Canada than

3 ould be expected of any foreign rofessor .

Thus, if the results of the elec- tion gave ’ the separtists only seven seats with twenty-three percent of the popular vote the answer can only be said to exist in the hearts and the minds of the people.

For this reason the term de-Ca- nadianization is a misnomer. Our education has always been Brit- ish, and still is below the Univer- sity level where the American shift is taking place. Wasn’t it just last week that Toronto finally dropped a regulation about salut- ing the Union Jack?

-Had the liberals with the pro- gram of potential financial sta- bility and sensible federalism, not been elected, Quebec today would soon have found itself to be in the position of economic chaos.

With the-problem of an extreme- ly high unemployment rate and the prospect of making Quebec attractive as ever to potential investors, Mr. Bourassa and the Liberals have taken it upon themselves to deal with the ex- tremely difficult task ahead.

We cannot help but be optim- istic for Quebec today. It’s our last chance to keep Canada to- gether. ’

In fact, our education is so be- reft of Canadian content that few Canadians realize the extent of its implications. For example last week’s Chevron article concen- trated on Canadian content in the Arts and totally ignored a field at least as important if not more so. _ Here I refer to Science and Engi- neering .

Canadian scientists have an argument which says that physi-_ cal laws are international and that therefore Canadian content is ir- relevant in the Physical Sciences. It may well be that wa&r freezes at 32 degrees fahrenheit whether you’re in Phoenix or Inuvik but the fact that it freezes consider- ably, more often in Inuvik poses some special technical problems not faced in Phoenix. Indeed there are a host of problems unique to the Canadian environment which have been largely ignored in the education of our Engineers and Scientists, not to mention our Arts-

_ men. Because we have borrowed study of Canadiun problhis

ed in Canada I find the suggestion of a quota on foreign Professors a welcome one. Just think of the

innovative capacity that supports a robust economy.

An immediate need is for funds to encourage the study of Cana- dian problems not just in the Arts but also in the Sciences. The record of research support in Can- ada has been very poor in this re- - spect. Canada supports all kinds of research which has little ,- relevance to Canadian problems and has in almost every-instance

discouraged uniquely Canadian beginning with the telephone pro- jects and ending with HARP, the McGill project which represented T a potential low cost system for launching satellites and which-now resides you-know-where.

’ It is not that we lack the right kind of citizens for putting Cana- dian content into the elassroom, it is that we lack the content to start with. When there is an ac- tive community of research into Canadian problems there will auto- matically follow a concern for Canadian problems as part of our normal education.

The following article by Rae Struth- ers-a university of Waterloo math graduate-was recently refused by the Galt Evening Reporter, a Thompson newspaper Struthers writes for on a part-time basis. Struthers- portrays the rejection as an example of how people refuse to disbelieve “authorities”, “generals” and “presidents” and in- stead choose to disbelieve the truth. What seems most amusing about the article, however, is Struthers’ own in- descretion of admiting that he, himself, believes in an assumed truth; an act which makes his stand almost as

mHE RECENT escalation of the

-1 -Vietnamese war into Cambodia represents incredible madness

and insane folly. It is all the more de- meaning for having beendone in the name of “patriotism and honor and glory”.

“We are in error. Today we have taken a step that will not easily be reversed,” said U.S. senator .Edward Kennedy. Er- ror! Perhaps the compound-and continu- ing errors of the U.S., in southeast asia demand more responsibility on Canada’s part-on our part.

The american delusion of military vic- tory by escalation must be demonstrated as the folly it surely is. Isn’t it time Can- ada abandoned her increasingly ineffec- tive “quiet diplomacy”? Isn’t it time we attempted to show our neighbors to the south their tragic delusions and fundam- ental misconceptions?

silly as those he accuses of blind ac- ceptance of assumed unquestionable authority. See for yourself: the U.S. for seeing asian communism as a mi/- itary threat. Yet, while denouncing simplistic anti-communism on one hand, he merrily falls into his own trap- he assumes, unquestioningly, that com- munism is a threat. Not a dirty mili- tary threat, but an OK political and cul- tural _ one. In effect, his word-mincing is no more news-truth than his editor’s word mincing in refusing the article was truth-stiffling.

In war it is often necessary to deceive friend and foe alike. The danger comes when one sinks to self-deception. Then, ’ with flags waving and hymns playing, one * -will charge blindly into the valley of nat- ional disgrace and ultimate destruction. Isn’t it time we showed the U.S. that ly- ing to others is one thing but that lying to

,

oneself is unforgivably deceitful? Despite history there, are still many who

cling to the simplistic juxtaposition of “communism” and the “free world”. The Dulles principle of military containment of a supposed monolithic Communism dies hard indeed. Despite the badly-split communist world the ,hawkish minds of the conservative anti-communist mili- tarists apparently reign supreme in the policy-making centre of the United States.

Canada should show the United States that the issue China poses is not military

“n” must stand for need. And that is what makes desire pure . . . the full equation, not just “n”.

” ‘X + n with . . . X - n without’ With what? Without what? What is this shit?” In natural re4ationship: when you put “X” and “Y“ together, you end, up with “(X +n)

nothing but make the equatbn “(,X + Y + 2n)n” since any combination of factors gives th-eir sum plus an undefined potentiality.

One half of Canadian citizens lack their basic civil rights. One-third of Canadians are forced to attend jails called schools. It couldn’t just be the cops, Salvation Ar- my, school boards, Manpower offices and old ladies that Canadian youth have to contend with.

up to the seventies ? We are doing crea- tive things and getting to know our in- ternational brethren. Can we expect that; there will be a better societal understand- ing in the future from such as maybe the LeDain Commission- (Royal Commissioa on the Non-Medical Use of Drugs)? Is there hope in changing an adult-run, in- stitutionalized society?

Let me answer as one in the under 30 generation, but also as an individual con- cerned, by briefly giving a minority re- port to the Canadian welfare council’s Transient youth project for’ which I did some work.

The Transient youth report is best de- scribed as an ‘adult report, sprinkled with traditional values, and for an adult, prim- arily institutionalized audience. It is a re- port that establishes no meaningful dia- logue with youth themselves. Why, it ev- en has a section in the report where youth are allowed to speak out! While the report does contain valuable background infor- _ mation?, it fails miserably in its conclus- ions, attitudes and understanding of youth. Yes, the report is a wasted un- imaginative effort that heralds the more troubled times to come.

’

Its recommendations are not credible nor worked out in consultation with youth, or to be implemented by youth. Especial- ly il l thought-out are its calls for a nation- al youth policy and for a national youth bureau.

The report continually talks in terms of
