Student-teacher rap on radi,o Waterloo forum by Eleanor Hyodo chevron staff

After an hour and a half discussion with students and teachers on a live radio Waterloo broadcast this past tues- day, the evening ended with the question by one teacher, “Why do we have to prove new programs to parents?”

was the hardest. He found it hard to ad- just to subject changes from senior public school to high school. Helen -. thought, “It’s going to be big, and probably cold. ”

The students became critical of their education when asked what they would do if they; were the minister of educa- tion.

Sandra Sachs, uniwat and Allan street free school teacher, replied to the ques- tion : “Who is trying to educate parents in trying to teach them what subjects we should be doing in school? It may be our responsibility to show parents there is some thing more. ”

“Ban the strap and detentions,” said Jeff. “I don’t see how they better you.”

He explained how detentions are given to students who don’t return their re- port card slips on time. He thought detentions “don’t get slips back on time. ”

Moderators Alan Gough and Dave Gilich, students Jeff Gilliland, ,Kim Weir, and Helen Raffan, and teach- ers Carol Stewart, Sandra Sachs, Ro- land Muller, Doug Thomas and Mike Ferguson, rapped in separate groups and then together on how they felt about education.

Kim and Jeff, grade nine students, and Helen, grade eight,, were asked about what it’s like to be in high school. Kim said you have to join clubs to meet people. Jeff was told that grade nine

He also thought the three minutes allowed for students to get from ’ one class to another left no room to slow down between classes. ,

Helen said a crowded timetable some- times meant being stuck with the same

teacher for four straight periods which meant boredom. She wanted more discussions in classes and wished they could get their minds off school with home economics and woodworking.

‘ ‘School gets YOU down,” said / Helen.

- ‘Gradschools must ch ange rcidically’ by Barry Brown chevron staff

Math 2B, only entry and eventual winner of the land- water relay, broke the exist- ing record of 18 minutes and 46 sees, by completing the treacherous course in 39 min- u tes and7 seconds.

Speaking to delegates at the ca- mian union of graduate students conference, held on campus last weekend, George Cross, dean of graduate studies said that gradu- ate schools must undergo a radi- cal change during the next de- cade. Graduate schools are fac- ing a crisis, manifested by the shrinking job market for graduates, overly specialized graduate programs, the unac- ceptability of some graduates to fill the vacancies occurring, the incongruities between gradu- ate programs and their specified aims and goals and the disen- chantment of the Ontario gov- ernment and people.

ties said they were attracting good students from all over the world, were expanding graduate programs, and that graduates were being placed in ever better jobs and schools. Now, however, we have a surplus of PhDs, and the government has determined to cut back its support of edu- cation at the graduate level. - Cross stated that some of the

public’s animosity toward the universities has arisen partially because of “the sit-ins and dis- ruptive and destructive proce- dures organized by students”. However, he continued, this image developed because of the actions of undergraduates and non-students. Yet support of undergraduates is being increas- ed, he said, “at the expense of support of graduates’ ’ .

Cross suggests a new concept of post-graduate education, rather than cutting back support of graduate education altogether.

One of the problems is that there are / too many PhDs- for types of employment we have had in the past. In order to bet- ter meet the needs of society Cross set four goals for Ontario graduate schools. c

Until recently the government and the public financially sup- ported graduate education at a very high level. Ontario universi-

First, he said that the narrow specializa tion of the PhD programs should be discourag- ed. Also, because of the nature of the problems mankind will find most urgent in the near fu- ture, research in the humanities and social sciences should be made as attractive as it is in sci- ence and engineering.

His second suggestion was an

Staff demands sala ry survey Allan Lawrence, president of the staff association,

dispelled the confusion among staff members about recently announced rates of pay increase at an open meeting tuesday, which was requested by the members.

Members had presented a petition asking for the meeting in order to ask questions on the increase, but a detailed explanation by L-qwrence and Ken Fearnall civil engineering answered all questions that could have been asked.

Lawrence stated that he didn’t know why the meeting had been called and still doesn’t. The problem seemed to be that most people had not had the situation explained to them.

This was blamed on the poor method of commu- nication. It seems that personnel called a meeting of department heads, who then explained raises to their faculty, who were to explain the increase to their subordinates.

This method failed since some people heard about the increase on the radio first.

The university policy is to base wages on a market demand basis. Cost of living has never been abasis.

Personnel hires a firm to survey the wages paid to people in various job categories. In the A and B class, employees are offered a”’ wage better than that offered by seventy five percent of other em- ployers, and better than fifty for service t-ype jobs.

The only point that the association can argue is the companies surveyed, but can do nothing until they have facts and figures. A motion was made and carried that next year’s executive should begin steps to take their own surveys.

Personnel claims that a two and a half percent in- crease will bring wages above market as of july first, at market by the end of the year, and half a percent behind a year from now.

It is not the policy of the university to offer the best wages, but to remain competitive with the market.

attempt to resolve the present ambiguity in the PhD program. While the certification provided by the PhD degree is more im- portant if one plans to teach, the training offered is almost exclu- sively for research. Where train- ing at the PhD level is directed specifically toward teachers, training should not be designed to produce researchers at the ex- pense of training more suitable for prospective teachers. Degree programs aimed at future teach- ers should expose students to a broad background of subject matter while it teaches the basic character of pure and applied research.

Thirdly, Cross suggested the development of part-time gradu- ate programs to provide an op- portunity to graduates to keep themselves up to date and to im- prove their performance in the new kinds of work that will ap- pear.

--

The fourth suggestion is a pro- posal to satisfy society’s need for people educated at an advanc- ed level to do the jobs of the fu- ture which cannot be describ- ed now because .we do not know what they will be. These people need a base in creative research, interdisciplinary studies, and training in merging the academic with the non-academic.

Cross stated that he expected considerable resistance to any attempt to implement his pro- posals by experts and planning committees because they do not conform to or satisfy traditional and dysfunctional criteria. He challenged the graduate students to exert their influence to try to make his proposed innovations realities. -

Space needed Quoting portions of the recent

campus center study committee report, the federation of students has formally requested space be provided by the university admin- istration for the reallocation of the offices of both the federation and the chevron.

Both are presently located in the campus center.

In a memo to space allocation chairman H. E. Petch, federation vice-president Carl Sulliman said that while other university depart- ments have been given room for ’ expansion, student organizations have been neglected in “cramped conditions and even impossible locations” (referring to Radio Waterloo, presently about a mile from campus.)

The campus center study com- mittee recommended both the fed- eration and the chevron vacate the campus center to allow more recreational space.

The church opera revives the mediaeval mystery play, convey- ing no new messages, but recast- ing the old biblical stores in a musically exciting form.

Tenants want ‘control, lower rents, tax rebates by Krista Tomory chevron staff

A meeting of indignant tenants from the towers of the married students’ complex held monday evening turned into a session of selfish, petty bitching, unwar- anted accusations, and general infantilism. It started out to be, and should have been, a joint, in- telligent effort to find some solu- tion to the problems at hand.

Originally the meeting *was call- ed by a group of tenants who are dissatisfied with the way their tenants association executives are handling such matters as the bid for lower rents tax rebates and the ever-controversia/l baby care center.

A committee, presently nego- tiating with u of w comptroler Arthur Headlam is asking for low- er rents and a removal of the time limit on leases. This wotild mean that people could move out any time after giving reasonable notice.

Tax rebate is a foggy ’ issue. Married students’ residents are not getting it and university of- ficials have not given a straight answer to the committee inves- tigating the matter. No one seems to know or cares to give the reas- on why. Rumour has it that the university made a deal with the city of Waterloo at the time when

-there was a need to rezone the land 00 which the residence was built. The fact that witholding tax re- bates is illegal does not seem to bother city officials or university administrators.

Tenants have individually ap- proached the student federation. Federation vice-president Carl Sulliman has offered to back them and fight it in court if necessary.

The issue of the baby care center is far more complex. It is simply a fact of life that married people sometimes have children. In the absence of parents, at school or at work, these children must be look- ed after. When setting up a resi- dence for married students, the university simply ignored all this on the grounds that they are not in the baby-care business.

Last fall the tenants of married students’ residence voted to set up day care in their community cen- ter. Necessary alterations and equipment was paid for by moneys provided by a grant for furniture in the residence.

One misinformed tenant strong- ly objected to the money spent, thinking that. some way it was coming out of his pocket. In ‘fac’t the day care center is run inde- pendently of ‘the residence. The fees only partially cover cost and the deficit, approximately 1000 dollars per month, is picked up by the university.

Other members insisted that the university should supply day-care facilities, and the community cen- ter be reverted into just that. It was demanded that the day-care center be closed down immed- iately, for there are alternatives available to the parents. However this is not feasable, or practical. In any case, the center is planned to cloie by the fall of ‘72. It is

hoped that’ by then the university has found some nook for the child- ren on campus, possibly in the new student service8 building.

Tenants,opposed to the day care center were perhaps justly de- manding their rights, that is full use of their community center. But as the blood boiled and voices rose one got the nasty impres- sion of ‘to hell with the kids, just get them out of here’.

Sulliman who was present at the meeting and understandibly ,upset by the useless bickering, made an eloquent plea for unity amongst the tenants. As long as

Kim suggested there be more availability of options the students initially chose. She explained many kids are forced into music since they can’t get home econ- omics. “In music -the kids act out since they don’t want to be there.”

On the .question of promptness, Kim said students are expected to be in classes on time, but when they have an appointment in the office for 9.15 they don’t get seen until 11: 00. ,

Between the separate student and teacher discussions, a par- tially taped program with Bruno Gerussi, CBC announcer, and Tony Barton, student at the on- tario institute for studies in education, allowed the partici- pants to hear a little about the Waterloo school boar$‘s deci- sion to invoke the strap into the schools again.

Barton said he passed mess- ages along to the board from three of the best educators in Ontario. The board seemed not interest- ed in the scientific research that stated punishment did not assist students to learn.

“Well except three or four mem- bers of the board voted in favour of ryinvoking the strap,” said Barton. “Even their own psy- chologist voted in favour.”

Barton explained the only legal recourse parents have is to write to their prin&pal and politely ask they would rather wish to have their chtld not strapped. The school must get permission of the parents fir&t.

Barton was critical of the lack of student involvement and support. “There were no children at the meeting.”

Maintaining the strap to enforce discipline, Stewart, said, “It’s

The major problem of the mar- ried’ students association \ seems to be a general apathy. Now that things are not going well as they should, there is ani outcry. But where were these people when the initial decisions were made? If the present council is not doing its job, come next election there is the possibility of creating a new one. Of the 1200 people in there next fall, how many will even bother to find out what the tenants associatiQn is, and what powers

Monday’s meeting at least prov- ed that ‘there is a group of people who are really concerned, and who are willing to become envolved. The next itep is for, them to real- ize that they are in the same boat with those living in the courts. If those that have children are in the minority, so what! It will be a long and hard battle. However, con- fronted1 by a strong majority front the administration is bound to go into the day-care business. And maybe lower the rents, and give tax rebates.

my personal opinion there should be strapping, for we have no form of discipline. ”

She explained some teachers feel they need the strap for teachers get no respect from the kids. “They have nothing to fear if the child knows the teach- er is going to’ do nothing. Where do we go?”

Muller thought the whole strap- ping question was being sensa- tionalized by the media. “The media picks up what people get upset about.”

Sachs said the media furor was reported in a small article in the paper.

Stewart recalled being strapped as a child. She said she became a little more cautious and tricky in the classroom.

“Is that the kind of thing we want to encourage?“, asked Sachs.

Listening and commenting on the teachers’ discussion the stu- dent& said, ‘ ‘Counselling ser- vices only helps in changing oc- cupa tions.

Sachs was asked what the Allan street free school was about. “Kids can do things rich and ex- citing. ’ If the child learns you never squelch his creativity and enthusiasm. ”

Ferguson thought the school was the strictest of the army, church and school, for with discipline there is the lack of free- dom of equals in relationships, for the students can’t fight b&k.

“‘(‘he barrier between adults and students isn’t a part of the free school,” said Sachs.

pressure to keep the kids in. “The problem is we are sup-

posed to control behaviour, but we are not given means to get stu- . dents respect,” said Muller.

“We talk about students feel- ing like misbehaving, but we don’t talk about teachers misbe- having. Consider them equals,” said Sachs.

’

Asked what the role of the teacher is Thomas said to get the student to fit into society. Stewart said to get the material covered that teachers have been told to complete. Muller said to give to the best of their ability. Thomas said he couldn’t educate anyone beyond himself and Sachs agreed.

After listening to the private teachers’ discussioin the students were asked for their comments.

Jeff said the teachers shouldn’t dominate discussion in the classroom.

Thomas said he dominated discussion since he loved to hear himself talk. He liked to talk about risque and intellectual things. “I know I shouldn’t dom- ina te. ”

Sachs said, “Try to sit and wait for it.”

“But we’ve only got 37 min- utes,” joked a teacher.

Thomas said there was also the pressure of having to cover a theme which may limit dis- cussion.

, “Teachers p.re$er lectures,” said Helen. Talkitg about her guidance teacher she said, “The teacher more or less has nothing to get across to us. Some teach- ers just can’t talk with it’s far safer to talk behind their backs. They dominate and have their own way all the time.”

First of a Series The late S.J. Simon, one of the

architects of the Acol system, once suggested that the game might be fairer if vocal intonations, ges- tures and hesitation bidding were allowed. “All-in” bridge, as he called it, would permit scowls, frowns, comments or “coffee housing” during the play or bid: ding; in fact, anything short of kicking partner under the table or using marked cards or hand signals. After all, he argued, ethl its and proprieties cannot easily be enforced and are not univers- ally followed.

Of course the author, famed for his drollery, was not serious. The usual reason why the properties are occasionally disregarded is because the individual concerned has never learned the appropriate principles, not because he has for-

\ gotten them or chosen to flout them. The following series of ar- ticles will attempt. to familiarize any interested players with these principles. f ‘When these principles are appreciated, arguments are avoided and the pleasure which the game offers is materially enhanced.

The Proprieties Section one of the proprieties

chapter in the “Laws of Dup- licate Bridge”, is entitled “Gen- eral Principles.” The first para- graph reads as follows: “Com- munication ’ between partners during the auction and the play periods should be affected only by means of the calls and plays them- selves, not the manner in which

they are made. Calls should be made in a uniform tone without special emphasis or inflection, and without undue haste or hesita- tion. Plays should be made without emphasis, gesture or mannerism and so far as possible at a uniform rate. ”

Rare is the player who is not sometimes delighted or made un- happy because of his partner’s lead; or worried that his partner will bid again; or happy to be able to double an opponent’s bid dur- ing a competitive auction, etc. But, according to the paragraph quoted above, it is improper and sometimes unethical to allow such feelings to cause you to bid with more emphasis with a good hand than with a bad hand; to pass quickly with a bad hand; to place your cards on the table and/or “look out the window” when you hope partner will not bid again, but to stare intently at your cards or at your partner while he is thinking because you hope that he will bid again.

Everyone should make point of checking his own behavior at the table to make sure he is not violat- ing the proprieties. And, if guilty, to train himself to make calls “in a uniform tone without special emphasis, or inflection,” and to play “without emphasis, gesture or mannerism, and so far as pos- sible at a uniform rate.”

Happily nowadays we rarely hear anyone say: “Who dealt this mess? ” -from “Laws and Ethics” written for the A.C.B.L. by Alvin Landy.

horse ~ on the hose of a by Mel Rotman chevron staff

H ORSE RACING has often been referred to as “the sport of kings -and fools”. I would . have to agree fully with that quote. To in-

vest money in horses one must be either very . wealthy and well able to absorb any consequent losses or one must be a complete and utter fool; the latter is the category in which I fit. To exem- plify this analysis let us compare an investment at the race track to an investment into a bank sav- ings account. When one places a, hundred dollars into a savings account he -may be assured of re- ceiving his money back plus the interest accumulat- ed on his investment while on the other hand at the race track one must. pay eighteen cents out of every dollar for the privilege of investing his money at the mutual wickets. That is to say that during a given period of time if one was to complete a hundred dollars worth of transactions one would have donated eighteen dollars to the coffers of the federal government, provincial government, and the Ontario jockey Club at which time this money is divided up accordingly. Therefore, it may be said that I am both a patriot and a philan- thropist supporting both the government and the jockey club.

This brings us to the question of why I would rath- er invest in a field in which if the luck factor is con- stant I am forfeiting eighteen percent rather than allow my money to remain stagnant. As far as I am concerned this is both true of a bank deposit or an investment in a field where the yielding curve is to my advantage.

First step First of all, before I can convincingly point out

the advantages of investing my money at the race track as opposed to any other investment media, let me point out that my attitude towards invest- ment is derived from John Maynard Keynes’ attitude towards economics. When Keynes was asked why all his theories were short run theories he replied, “in the long run we’re all dead”.

It would be unfair to say that I invest my money in race betting for the sake of showing a profit. It is true though that I invest for reasons of a pos- sible quick yield. Now, assume that I have ten dol- lars in my pocket but I need one hundred dollars in order to take a week long vacation. I then visit my friendly neighbourhood race track and- proceed with all my self-thought skills to attempt- to make ten dollars into one hundred. I am fully aware that this ten dollars will more than likely be made into zero but nevertheless the possibility of mak- ing the ninty needed dollars is there. Where else does such a possibility exist? The chances of a 1000 percent increase in any speculative stock over a period of a few days is very doubtful.

Races better . . In all sincerity I feel that there are no compari-

sons between investing on the horses as opposed to investing in blue chip stocks but on the other hand I do feel that I would sooner invest my money

. in bets at the races rather than in speculative penny mine stocks, for no other reason then the fact that I feel I have greater knowledge of horses than I do, of mines. As a matter of fact I will go as far as to say that through my knowledge of horses combined with statistics I could probably earn as much on investing in betting-as I could in invest- ing in any other field. A possible reason for my not making large profits at the track is that I treat it as a hobby and not a business venture. For example, if I were to go to the track with a given amount of money I would spread my money into each race whereas if I were out to earn a profit I would bet only on those races which I felt that a particular horse was a clear cut winner. This would mean that I would probably end up betting

. one or two races a day and often I would bet no races.

It is also possible to bet the horses ‘on the use of statistics alone rather than on the merit of the horses. For example, in the past five years ap-

proximately 35 percent of all horses that were fav- oured won. Therefore it would stand to reason that if over a period of ten races at a particular track no favourites had won then you would bet the suc- ceeding race. Then if the favourite were to lose you would bet an even greater amount on the favourite in the next race and so on until you have won, making back not only your investment but also a profit. True, this sort of betting requires a large amount of capital but then again so does any other worthwhile investment.

Risk involved When speaking of betting as an investment it can

be compared to other fields of investment in that there is risk involved and there is a yield involv- ed. It is possible to minimize your risk in horse racing. All you have to do is look for a horse which very seldom if ever has run out of money, running in his proper class, in a five horse field and bet him

There is no such thing in horse racing as cer- 0 tainties, for it is always possible for a horse to- : break a leg; thus there is a degree of risk involved. However, there are some horses that never run : out of the money. For example, Northern Dancer l raced eighteen times and was first fourteen l times, second twice and third twice.

He was what you might call an almost certain- : - tyL‘ To my mind it would be as good an investment at five percent sure interest to invest in Northern

Dancer, as it would be to invest in a blue chip stock. The chances of a Northern Dancer break-

:

ing a leg during the running of a race are minimiz- l l

ed by a veterinary check the day of the race to l make sure the-horse is sound; thus the chance of 0 mishap over a period of years is just slightly : greater than the chance of a company the size . of General Motors going bankrupt.

_. The most important reason I would rather invest

l westtiount place i . money in betting horses than in stocks or other l x forms of investments is that I have found a system @

pharmacy ~78-8800 : l

that might possibly beat the horses. This system is l l almost infallible and requires no knowledge of l eooeooeeeoeoee*0eooooo*oo~e~~~~~ horses. It took just over three months of going I through five solid years of “Daily Racing Forms” issues to develop this system.

The system is based wholly on statistics and will be applicable only at largely attended race tracks,

such as Aqueduct in New York. At Aqueduct over Federation of Students

the past five- years 29 percent of all favourites have won, and 61 percent of all favourites have come in the money. Approximately 45 percent of all fav- ourites ran first or second. The idea behind this system is to wait until percentages are in your favour. You wait until four favourites in a row have not come in first or second, then you place a wager on the favourite to place. In case of a loss, you double your wager, and keep-‘doubling the total value of your losses until you win. Over five years a favourite has never run worse than second for more than eight races in succession, and the average place price has meant a 100 percent return on investment. It seems that this gives a great- er yield with less risk than investing in most other forms of investment.

Takeachance To say that there is a better field of investment,

with as high an immediate yield as betting the horses is ridiculous, as far as I’m concerned. In all fields of investment, the amount of yield is usually reflected in the risk. Thus taking all things into consideration, the amount of yield oversha- dows the risk when betting the horses, especially when we consider that in this century, in the in- vestment field, we have faced the stock market crash, the bankruptcy of trust companies, and the folding of large corporations, all of which had investors who lost their all. Thus all investment has its risk - although one may not discover the risk before it is too late; in the case of the race track, you know before you start that there is a high degree of risk. And the percentage yield is higher and time for turnover less than in any other type of investment.

Water relay up creek The last annual land-water relay

was staged last Tuesday with the courageous death-defying team from Math 2B.

Their team consisting of cap- tain art smith, first-mate car1 millar, 2nd mate john bradley and crewman rick valdamanis traversed the treacherous water in a near record time of 39 min- utes 52.3 seconds. Although they had some difficulty navigating the one inch, waves on’ Colum- bia, they had little trouble with the 500 yard portage in their man- made craft - “All in the Old Sail- or”.

Congratulations are extended to this one team who were per- manently awarded the Black and Gold Paddle for their efforts.

Thanks also to the-whitewater club for their safety assistance.-

Golf tourney On Wednesday, june 2nd from

beaverdale golf course, you will probably hear a few “philoso- phical” comments from the arts prof’s, a few clubs being broken by the jocks prof’s, engineering profs welding their clubs togeth- er and the math profs calculating the angle of trajetory of their golf ball as it soars into the w?- ter, sand-trap and trees.

Why? - the second annual putton and glutton faculty and staff golf tournament. Cost $6.00 includes green fees, meal and prizes.

If interested simply see mary in the athletic complex, pay your fee and choose your starting times.

This week’s j reminders 1. Teams needed for soccer, rugger, touch football and 5 man squash. Today - entry deadline. 2. Register now for faculty and staff puttin and glutton tourna- ment on june 2nd. Entry dead- line - friday, may 28. 3. Kinder swim-gym class are all full. 4. Softball officials needed.

Wome.n’s summer fun

The women’s summer fun pro- gram will suffer some switching of nights next week due to holi- days, classes and convocation.

The league opener in slow pitch will take place on Wednesday evening at 5:00 p.m. The league will continue thereafter on mon- day nights with *games scheduled. between 6:30 - 8:00 pm. A com- plete schedule will be posted in the athletic complex today.

Competition in the league looks to be good with two teams en- tered from Kin 2B, one from recreation, one all women staff team and a co-ed team from physics staff. Spectators are welcome at all games.

ed for Columbia field at 3:45 pm on tuesday.

Summer basketball will have few interruptions over the next few weeks. Those interested should keep an eye on the notice board in the athletic complex.

More liberation ’ Soccer and softball are the two

new areas of liberation on cam- pus this summer. 1

Originally intended as males- only, soccer has been integrated by an entry from math’s class of 74. On Wednesday, the chevron learnt that the team (known as “liberated studies”) is one- third female.

Organizer Bruce Batchelor says,’ “We’re quite serious about play- ing and will take on anyone in Z. ‘soccher - socchim’ game. The girls will be playing regularly and some are excellent players.

“One good prospect, Martha Mamen played for McGill’s la-’ dies team and another, Julia Lowenthal wants to stop balls as a goal-tender. ”

By press time, the math< freaks’ only opposition was an entry from the male chauvinists at St. Pauls, but entries will be accepted until next Wednesday. Four teams are required to form a league with games scheduled for monday evenings.

Dr. Jack Kruuv is the other liberator on campus. To most of his .colleagues, he seems to be an ardent researcher hot on the trail of a cancer cure. However, during his extra-lab hours, ‘01 dot kruuv formed a co-education- al team to challenge all comers in, ‘what was formerly the ladies slow pitch softball league.

A staunch believer in the equal- ity of women for many years, dr kruuv has shown no preference in his choice of animal cells, ac- cepting as many from the fe- male of the species as from the male.

Passing up many tempting names ( ‘jack’s pot’ ; ‘kruuv’s killers’), the suttle captain de- cided on a simple team title - ‘physics co-ed’.

New coach - -- ___---- The basketball warriors have

inherited another high school coach attempting his first bout with college athletics. Mike Lab velle has proven that the transi- tion can be smooth and success-. ful, so the athletic department is continuing the practice. As La- velle heads to Erindale College in Mississauga, Don McCrae will assume the responsibilities of . head coach. Coaching university teams seems to be the only area of experience which McCrae lacks. Queen’s Western and Mc- Master have supplied him with intercollegiate experience at the competitive level.

In 1959, McCrae was a mem- ber of the national ’ basketball team at -the Pan American games. A year later, he was selected to travel with Canada’s Olympic team which competed in Rome.

Tramping the beat ,I * - \ with media mogul _*/ Keith Davev /

, by Alex Smith chevron staff

A BOUT THE MOST INTERESTING part of Senator Keith-Davey’s speech . Wednesday to the United Church of

Canada’s Hamilton Conference in the mo- dern languages building was the preceding presentation by a fragile spokeswoman for the United Church summer camp program.

Accompanied by the full regalia of what the United Church perhaps feels to be the epitome of modern audio-visual technique- a still slide projector-the young lady took her audience through a tripsy tale of good- will that set the stage beautifully for the ponderous message of media monsters and communications megalomania which followed.

“Join us, and we will work together . . .” signalled the slide in glorious color.

“Join us, and we will work together . . .” said the charming, gaily-dressed church worker, pressing the slide advance lever and turning to smile at the flock.

“Camp life fosters good spirit,” whined the next slide in glorious color.

“Camp life fosters good spirit,” she beamed, wheeling around. Whirrrrrr; Clank.

“You (and I), the soggy center of the politic,al spectrum, must realize our role and responsibility as media consumers! ” Thus spoke Keith Davey, member of the senate and head of the senate committee on mass media. - ,

In what appears to have/been a standard delivery (a bit superficially spiked here and there by over-use) to a good portion of the soggy center of Canada’s apathetic political spectrum, Davey went on to tell the United Church people that indeed, a whole new way of living was just around the corner and that it was ineed, more significant than sideburns and colored shirts.

Tender applause. Davey went on to explain that the destiny

of media in Canada lay not with the tycoons who have built press or broadcasting em- pires, but with ordinary people.

(Ordinary people, it might be assumed, who would sit through thirty minutes of “Camp life fosters, etc.“)

Regional councils One of the most hotly debated recom-

mendations of the committee’s report calls for establishment of regional press councils to deal with accuracy and fairness:,

Davey is adamant that such a council would have no government interference whatever, being composed entirely of lay people and media representatives-both production people and publishers.

Davey did not mention the recently-for- med government “service”, Information Canada, which some have called a govem- ment propaganda machine, nor did he sug- gest that if the press in Canada did even- tually “prepare its readers for social change” as he says it must, there would be little need for a government agency whose sole purpose is to do public relations work for any government that happens to be in power.

That’s all very well, of course, but when local advertisers and newspaper people say effectively that modern advertising technique is based purely on presenting “information” (tomorrow, ‘9 pm on Radio Waterloo), we may anticipate the day when

our federal government sells its policies and excuses its actions in the same “take- it-alloff” style we have been given by Tor- onto ad monopolies.

Public vs. publishers / Davey points to many public opinion

surveys indicating approval of his press council concept, and contrasts this to the views of Canadian publishers most of whom oppose the plan. -

It seems that besides fearing leaving the future of Canadian media to an apathetic public of mediocre taste (probably through no fault of its own), we must also watch the publishers, at least one of whom has pub- lically stated “on behalf of the Canadian public, I oppose the idea of a press coun- cil.”

Davey’s committee speaks warily of

publishers, but tends to soft-peddle in criti- cism. As Davey said Wednesday, there exists the “alarming prospect of fewer and fewer owners controlling more and more media, yet it is a mistake to over- emphasize evidence of abuse.” Davey said owners who appeared before his committee agreed there was a point at which owner- ship of many media outlets by one person or group was bad. Then again, none of the owners would say how much was bad. Sixty- six percent of daily papers and 50 percent of radio and television outlets are presently members in concentrated ownership fami- lies.

“Some publishers,” said Davey , “are not willing to make excellence an equal footing with profitability.” The sky is blue (most often, that is), and in summer at least, grass is generally green-but that’s another Report. Press responsibility

More astutely, Davey does point out sig- nificant lapses in press responsibility.

Indicating “change has become the cen- tral fact of life,” he says the traditional newspaper obsession with facts and events is no longer enough; causes, effects and trends are now important if a newspaper is to fulfil1 what he sees as its responsibility to prepare readers for social change.

This message may be new to big-city journalism, but is old-hat to many univer- sity and underground papers which have attempted to do just what he suggests for the last three years. At least three univer- sity papers-the chevron, the Carillon (Sask- atchewan) and the Peak (Simon Fraser) have been pointing to trends and causes for three years, and these papers and others have been given good coverage in his re- port.

Why, for example, did the Quebec crisis loom as a bombshell in the english-speak- ing press?

Why, in the opinion of many people out- side Quebec did the media itself cause the Quebec ‘ ‘crisis ’ ‘?

The answer, which Davey accepts, lies with the almost total ignoring in english- language papers of the historical social, conditions and political climate in Quebec which indeed created the violent reaction to established authority.

In other words, the english press had ignored its responsibility to provide ade- quate b information ; information which might have told english-speaking people why the crisis was imminent and even how it might have been averted. Again, “al- ternate” journals such as the Last Post, Canadian Dimension and university news- papers were informing their readers of these conditions long before the Quebec crisis actually occurred. But they don’t have the money to buy circulation.

Davey commented that the accessibility of media to the outspoken elements of both far right and far left make the press’ big- gest enemy the vast, silent majority. It is these people, alarmed when they find their traditional values challenged, who opt for government press censorship and con- trol.

summer circulation: 8,000 Alex Smith, editor

Again he pointed to survey statistics to this effect. Though most people would deny it, Davey is probably right when he says “if media turns people off, it’s because so- ciety turns them off. ”

We are different ” He stressed further that Canadian

media must .have an obligation to promote Canada’s apartness from the United States, and received more tender applause when he pointed to the difference between the two countries’ founding principles.

“The BNA act,” he said, “talks of peace, order and good government; the american constitution refers to ‘pursuit of happiness’ -a psychic steeplechase known to lead to insanity. ”

Not waiting too long before striking boldly into the summer doldrums, we note various and many female liberators have taken a liking to the sauna in the men’s ph,ys. ed. dressing room. After having been liberated about three or four times, the sauna is apparently now guarded by a campus cop and rumor has it that any more offending ladies will be hauled away by Curly’s We personally ‘and severally feel they are getting a raw deal/The Village as youth hostel?

Administration president Matthews seems to have told city council that space and money being available, part of the uni- versity’s residence complex could be used as a summer youth hostel for travelling young peo- ple, That’s nice, but will they keep off the grass?/Noting that the chairman of the special senate committee on mass media, Keith Davey. was on campus this week (see rest of this page), we thought you might take interest in the remarks, dublished in the report, of ;Jerry Goodis, presi- dent of the Toronto advertising firm of Goodis, Goldberg & Soren: “What are the results of the necessity to build an audience of affluent consumers to serve up to the advertiser a more affluent or more efficient audience than the next man? Editorial content inevitably comes to serve this end. The measure of editorial acceptability becomes how does it fit, or will it interest theaffluent. As a consequence the mass media increasingly reflect the attitudes and deal with the concerns of the affluent. We don’t have mass media, we have class media-media for the middle and upper classes. The poor, the old, the young, the Indian, the Eskimo, the blacks are virtually ignored. It is as if they didn’t exist. More importantly, thes9 minority groups ‘are denied expression in the mass media because they cannot command attention as the affluent can.” Something to think about./Keep that card and letter coming in, you twits: let us know you exist.

Well, it was our , media’s belief in the myth of peace, order and good government that led to the insanity in Quebec.

Hopefully, with our own insanity to cure, we need not import more from the United - States.

Power regains Warrior title Michael Power high school of

Toronto dominated the middle dis- tance events and emerged the handy winners of the 11th annual Warrior Invitational track meet held last Saturday at Seagram Stadium. Their personable coach, Father Redmond carried off the Warrior Trophy for the third time in the past five years.

letes with victories in the 1500 meters and the 800 meters. The latter saw one of the most exciting finishes of the day as Housley ed- ged teammate John Tierney for the victory after the pair ‘had matched strides from the corner to the tape. Both were clocked in- 1:55.8, tying the meet record.

Mike Housley led the Power ath- Tierney added a second in the

400 meters won by Central Tech’s

Kingsley Hurbs in 49.4 seconds. Hurbs clipped six-tenth of a

second off the meet record which was set last year by Russ Gnyp.

Outstanding in Saturday’s meet, was Bishop Dolegiewicz of Park- dale. Entering the meet with a personal best performance in the shot put of 57 feet 10 inches, he surprised spectators and also himself when he heaved the ste.el ball 59-9 to better the Canadian juvenile record by more than a foot. Dolegiewicz added to his .victory in the shot by claiming first place in the discus also.

Toronto’s Central Technical School amassed 60 points to grab second place, 36 points behind the winners. Techls Steve Hunt took the 200 meter dash in 22.3 secI and later joined Hurbs and com- pany as their relay team came through with another meet record in 3:22.3. In another close finish, the Tech boys completed the relay sweep by edging Burlington Nel- son in the 400 meter relay event by a scant tenth of a second.

A strong headwind throughout the day hampered the sprinters and hurdlers. However, it didn’t prevent Harold Gretzinger of Grand River from turning in the best performance of the day by a local athlete. He sped to an easy victory in the 110 meter hurdles.

The highlight of the girls events was a 56.3 second 400 meter run by Joan Eddy of Ancaster. It is one of the fastest times for wom- en over that distance in Canada at the present time. In two special invitational events run in conjunc- tion with the meet, Ken Hamilton of the Toronto Olympic club won the 5000 meter run in 14: 59 and Nigel Strothard a U of W athlete took a slow but closely contested 800 meters in 2:Ol.l.
