Student council byelections
Voter turnout &ma/ ,- The, seven student council
vacancies were filled thursday with turnouts ranging from about 6.6 percent in arts to 16 percent in engineering.
Bill Carrothers, chemistry 3, took the one vacancy in science with 86 votes. George Greene, ap- plied chemistry 2A, received 59, and 9 ballots were spoiled for the 11.7 percent turnout.

AUCC conference ends with ‘nothing to suy’ OTTAWA (CUP)-After two days of
closed meetings, a banquet, six speech- es and seven commission meetings, the 1969 national conference of the association of universities and colleges of Canada ended here thursday with a cancelled press conference and “nothing to say.”
Reporters who showed up thursday afternoon for a wind-up press con- ference at Ottawa’s posh skyline hotel met a bare conference room: the AUCC board of governors, which met in secrecy for the two previous hours, decided they had nothing further to tell the press.
“That’s about par for the course,” said a reporter for one large Toronto daily. ‘I just want to finish this story and get out of here.”
“I’ve complained about it before, but it’s really hitting home to me now that it’s impossible to describe some situations. ”
The 600 registered delegates to the
conference-including approximately 45 students-had dwindled to 150 people by the final day of the four-day affair, which began november 3.
The conference basically provides a get-together for administrators from all Canadian universities, and is supposed to provide a forum for administrators’ ideas and problems concerning higher education.
The first two days of the conference were closed to the public, as various administrative groups-planners, in- formation directors, financial experts -compared experiences, exchanged thoughts on policy and made short statements to the press at short, care- fully managed conferences.
Altogether, the administrators conduct- ed three hours of open deliberations at simultaneous commission meetings on financing, curriculum, university govern- ment, planning and employment prac- tices. Few recommendations or state-
ments were forthcoming: l one commission suggested the
AUCC consider “close working rel- ationships with the national association of community colleges if and when it is formed”
l another suggested that committees reponsible for reforming undergrad- uate curriculum should have rep- resentation “from all elements of the university community”
l a committee on library resources “deplored the discontinuance of Canada council grants for support-- ing research collections in libraries and urged their renewal”
l a commission on university gov- ernment reported nothing at all: just a “full and frank discussion.”
All commission recommendations were accepted at a single, 45minute plenary thursday. No votes were taken: all recommendations were forwarded to the board.
The only untoward incident of the
conference occurred at -an official banquet Wednesday night, when four french-speaking students, delegates to the conference, interrupted guest speaker sentor Maurice Lamontagne.

Sir George principal suspends publication
MONTREAL (CUP)--Sir George Williams University principal J.W. O’Brian bowed to student and faculty demands thursday and suspended publication of the Paper. whose editor was charged with libel last monday after the appearance of a racist cartoon in that day’s issue.
The paper is the joint publication of the Sir George and Loyola col-
lege evening students’ associations.
“Under no circumstances will Sir George Williams tolerate the spread of racism,” O’Brian said, adding that, under current regula- tions, the evening students’ associ- ation did not maintain editorial control over the Paper.
“The ESA must accept respon- sibility for, and exercise authority over, any publication issued under its auspices: ” O’Brian said.
Appearance of the cartoon mon- day threw the Sir George campus into an uproar-the edition of the Paper was publicly burned and edi- tor Wayne Gray was charged with libel by a group of 38 faculty and students under a newly-created disciplinary code.
The cartoon which caused the furor depicted two blacks-one carrying a machine gun-prepar- ing to attend a black studies pro- gram at Sir George. The two were surrounded with skulls, shrunken heads and pennants reading “Mau mautech” and “Nigeria U. ’
The name of the cartoonist is not yet known.
Suspension of the Paper will re- main in effect until ESA represent- atives “accept such responsibility and authority” over the publica- tion, according to O’Brian.
Meanwhile, protest over the in- cident continued at Sir George and neighboring McGill university.
Black faculty at Sir George is- sued a demand that Gray and the author of monday’s cartoon be dis- missed from their positions, and that the Paper remain under sus- pension until charges against the two were settled.
At McGill, 50 students met thursday over the incident. Carl Benjamin, a spokesman for black students at Sir George, read statements of support for the black community, and said he hoped the issue could be used to rally support behind students arrested following the destruction of the Sir George computer last february.
The defendants in the computer affair will begin court appearances sometime after january 7.
Sentiment is strong among blacks at McGill and Sir George that the issue of racism, which originally sparked last febru- ary’s incident, was never investi- gated. The question of racism, they say, was merely ignored dur- ing the hysteria which arose after destruction of the computer.

Warriors stage instant comeback to upset Western N-2 /
End Don Manahan reaching for a Dave Groves’ pass. Manahan is close to league lead in receptions this year. Final totals will be available for friday.
by Jim Dunlop and Peter Marshall Chevron staff \
The ‘block-and-tackle’ warriors closed their 1969 season with a fine 29-20 fourth quarter victory over the Western mustangs as they scored three touchdowns in the last fifteen minutes for the win.
Rick Wiedenhoeft had an out- standing offensive game for uniwat as he caught two Dave Groves’ passes for touchdowns and contributed some fine inside running.
His first touchdown tied the score 7-7 in the first quarter. It was a beautiful catch as he went right to the dead-ball line to make the reception. The pass, thrown by Groves, was equally
remarkable, reminiscent of the type Werner Von Braun threw while playing for the University of Florida.
Western had gone ahead early in the game on a touchdown that the warriors handed them. On second and long yardage the mustang quarterback, Steve Ste- fanko, rolled out to look for a receiver. Just as he started to run he was knocked into touch by two warriors. But as he lay on the ground in front of the uniwat bench a third warrior pounced on him. The referee, standing right there, assessed the team a 15-yard penalty, giving Western a first down they would not have had otherwise.
Western took advantage of this and threw deep to Doug Digby
Puckers-about split with L avrentian by Peter W. Armstrong felled by a high stick in front of Chevron staff the net.
The ‘pucking about’ warriors came back strongly in the third period to defeat the Laurentian voyageurs 6-4 in the first of two weekend games Saturday.
Rick Bacon scored again at lo:05 after digging the puck out from behind the net,
Although the warriors took con- trol of the puck from the start of the first period, the voyageurs opened the scoring at 13:52. Ray Lamart beat Pete Paleczney and netminder Jim Weber to score on a one man effort.
Kent Pollard gave voyageurs a 4-2 lead before the period de- generated into a donnybrook.
Five minutes later Rick Bacon scored his first of three goals on a two way passing play with Roger Kropf. The period ended l-l.
The warriors forechecked the voyageurs into the ice in the third period and controlled the play for the entire period. Bacon and Bob Reade scored to tie the game by the four minute mark. Rick Maloney stole the puck in front of the voyageur net and scored the winner unassisted. Dave Rudge added the insur- ance goal at 18:43.
The second period saw the quality of hockey degenerate as 18 penalties were called. The voyageurs opened the period hitt- ing and the warriors tried to re- taliate. By the six minute mark Laurentian had gone ahead 3-l. Their third goal was a result of warriors retaliating rather than playing the puck and was scored over Bob Thorpe who had been
The warriors outskated and outplayed the voyageurs for the entire game, outshooting them 54 to 20. The voyageurs seemed better coordinated as a team but they have played together for about three weeks longer than the warriors.
The warriors had a little diffi- culty with the power play and did not finish their plays with the authority with which they con- trolled the play. Their penalty killing was exceptional j and another fine game was turne’d in by Ian McKegney. It must also be mentioned that Lauren- tian goalie Grace was instrumen- tal in keeping the score respect- able.
Intra-squad basketball game goes tonight at 8pm in the gym.
Athletic clubs have been formed in many activities. These are archery, badminton 7 curling, fencing, gymnastics, orienteering, rugger, skiing, squash and under- water. Contact the phys-ed de- partment for details.
The second half of the co-ed swim meet is tomorrow. All 100 yard strokes and 3 relays will be held. Entries for these and the men’s badminton singles on november 19 should be made at the phys ed office.
Sunday afternoon’s game was a totally different story than the third period Saturday. The war- riors were outskated, outhustled and outscored by 5-2. They were outshot 41 to 31 and Ian Scott played well in the warrior nets, stopping several breakaways.
Orest Romashyna was quite good on defense.
to the Waterloo four yard line. Jeff Hilton got the touchdown and Colossimo’s convert made it 7-O.
The only other offensive high- light of the warriors’ first half was Paul Knill’s fine punting, which continued throughout the game. One of his kicks in the second half covered an amazing 95 yards for a single.
Western added another touch- down in the first half. It was set up by a Groves’ fumble on the warrior one yard line. He was under great pressure and tried to throw the ball away but was unable to show a passing motion and it was ruled a fumble. Digby caught the touchdown pass to make it 13-7.
Anyone who left at halftime figuring the game would be a repeat of last week’s fiasco missed
Laurentian led 1-O after one I period on Pollard’s goal and 2-l after two. Warriors goal came from Ron Robinson after a good pass from McKegney. The sec- ond voyageur goal was the re- sult of a missed icing call, which typified the refereeing on Sunday.
The third period saw the voy- ageurs run the warriors out of the rink taking a 5-l lead on goals by men left uncovered in front of the net. Bob Thorpe scored the game’s last goal but the warriors lacked the drive to stage a comeback.
The third period on Saturday showed that * the optimism about this year’s ‘puckers-about is well founded but Sunday’s game showed that a some smoothness and co- ordination are still to come if the warriors are to be contenders this year.
The warriors play two home exhibition games this week. They host York on Wednesday and Waterloo Lutheran on friday at 8pm in Waterloo arena.
Cooperation.. . begins at home
A committee to consider a co- operative arrangement between Waterloo Lutheran and uniwat was announced recently by the presidents of both universities.
Press releases were issued on the same date by both univer- sities. The statements were identical with one exception: where the names of the univer- sities and the admin presidents were mentioned, uniwat’s release gave Waterloo Lutheran second billing, and Lutheran did the same for uniwat.
the only real display of ball con- trol * and enthusiasm shown by the warriors all year.
Early in the fourth quarter, with the score 20-8, Wiedenhoeft took a short toss from Groves for another six points. This was set up by a 20-yard punt return by Gord. McLellan, good runs by Chuck Wakefield and a clutch third down reverse by Dave Groves. That reverse was by far the best call the warriors made all season and suggests that there may have been a stra- tegist hidden among us all year.
Knill added his second convert of the day to shorten the mus- tangs’ lead to five points.
Then came the surprise of the day. Knill’s kickoff was taken by Stew Behie who fumbled when hit bv Stu Koch and Andy Roy. The ball was recovered by Joe Sowieta who returned it for a touchdown. It was a just reward for Sowieta who has played well for the defense all year.
Don Manahan scored the final touchdown on an over-the-middle pass from Groves. Paul Cole- man’s interception and good runs by Wakefield and Wiedenhoeft set up the score. Knill’s convert made it 29-20.
That nine point spread was exactly what the mustangs had beaten the warriors by earlier this season. If the warriors could have scored another point they would have finished fourth on the basis of the pointspread.
Knill did try to kick for it at the end of the game but the mustangs ran the ball out of the endzone and with that took fourth place.
The warriors, after playing their normal lackluster ball game for three quarters, exploded in the fourth. With that explosion they showed the type of ball they could have been playing all year with the proper enthusiasm and leadership.
True, they were helped satur- day by two fourth-quarter fumbles and one interception but it was nice to see the warriors making the breaks go their way for a change.
Some of the warriors were ex- ceptional Saturday. Stu Koch was again incomparable at corner linebacker and the defen- sive backs, especially Andy Roy and Ian Woods, were aggressive.
Wiedenhoeft led the offense and got assistance from Chuck Wakefield and flurries of brill- iance from Dave Groves. McLell- an was outstanding on punt re- turns. The offensive blocking provided the best running holes of the year for the warrior’s back- field. (Wasn’t it amazing that Wayne Fox didn’t start the game at flanker after he led the off- ense last time we played Wes- tern. )
Only one question remains, “Did the 1969 warriors have to save their best quarter of foot- ball for their last? ”
McGill students will pose pacification
MONTREAL (CUP)-The MC Gill University moratorium com- mittee will lead up to the second Vietnam moratorium november 13-14 by “bringing the war home” -right to the Montreal area.
The committee finalized plans Wednesday to simulate the “paci- fication” methods used by the U.S. army in Vietnam-with everything but gunfire and burn- ing houses-on a Quebec village. village.
Sometime next week, students dressed as members of the na- tional liberation front in black pyjamas and broad-brimmed conical hats will station them- selves at the town’s main inter- section.
Overhead, a private plane will drop leaflets onto the village say- ing: “your village is going to be pacified.. . . the Viet Cong have been seen living here. You have
24 hours to get out before destruc- tion. Go to the nearest govern- ment camp, where we will pro- tect you. ”
The note will add: “if you were now in Vietnam, this mess- age would be for real.”
Truckloads of “U.S. army troops” will enter the town, cap- ture the NLF members, rope them together in two chain gangs, and march them back to the trucks, while the troops force all citizens to evacuate the village.
All participants will then clean up the leaflets.
The organizers hope the simu- lation will “effectively dramatize the nature of the american pacification program” and draw attention to the upcoming mora- torium.
Organizers will not announce the name of the Quebec “target“’ in advance.

Should I skip Phys. Ed.
this week? Girls who rely on externally worn sanitary 1 protection fre- quently use their monthly period as an excuse to cut gym classes. They find it uncom- fortable to be active while wearing a bulky belt-pin-pad contraption.
For these girls there’s an easy answer : Tampax tampons. Because they’re worn inter- nally, you can’t even feel them
. when they’re properly in place. There’s no possibility of chafing. Odor can’t form. And after strenuous exer- cise you can tub or shower - even swim-and be your own cool, clean, fresh self again.
If your school has compul- sory Phys. Ed., it pays to be compulsive about Tampax tam- pons. They’re available in 3 absorbency-sizes - Regular, Super and Junior-wherever such products are sold. Easy to get, easy to use, easy to dispose of.
OTTAWA (CUP)-Canadian un- iversity administrators wednes- day waffled in the face of a plea to give more assistance to Can- adian graduate and post-grad- uate students seeking employment in their own country, and finally wriggled out of discussion by suggesting that a study be done of the problem,
The administrators, meeting in an association of universities and colleges of Canada confer- ence commission on university employment practices and job opportunities for graduate stu- dents, gave little sympathy to requests made in a 43-page brief recommending immediate action by the AUCC to help relieve a job squeeze on aspiring Canadian academics.
Prepared by A.M. Smolensky, graduate students’ association president at the University of British Columbia, the brief said 5039 advanced degrees were granted by Canadian universities in 1967-but only 362 out of 2611
academics hired by Canadian universities the next year were Canadian.
Smolensky recommended that the Canadian government discon- tinue a current two-year waiver of taxes now granted to foreign academics teaching at Canad- ian universities, and that the AUCC “act so as to assure max- imum utilization and an adequate of graduates. ”
But administrators thought differently.
PhD students should become less specialized if they want jobs, said R.J. Rossiter, dean of grad- uate studies at the University of ‘Western Ontario-PhD students should become more specialized instead, said Robert Bell, dean of graduate studies at McGill University .
The delegates agreed univer- sities should publicize openings on staff more widely-but they also agreed it would be difficult to eliminate “alma-materism” -personal contact-in hiring pol-
icies. The commissioners skipped
over a proposal that universities abolish tenure in favor of five- year, renewable contracts to open up academic positions to more completition.
Even Smolensky approved as the commission decided that calling for an end to the federal government’s tax waiver was too
harsh a measure, and decided instead to ask the government to “reassess its policy.”
The commission’s recommen- dations went before an AUCC plenary thursday, the final day of the conference-no opposition was expected.
The conference held open meetings only on the last two days of its four-day session.
Grebel getting liberal Conrad Grebel residence is
getting more liberal every year. A few years ago the students
succeeded in obtaining permis- sion to hold open house once a month on sunday afternoon with room doors open.
This fall the students agreed upon and immediately put into effect open house every weekend on friday, Saturday and sunday evenings when doors could be closed.
On november 2 college pres-
ident Winfield Fretz told the stu- dents to go back to the hours agreed upon last year (7-10 fri- days) pending official approval by faculty council. This caused considerable concern among the students and various meetings were held last week including a student council meeting monday with a large galley.
However, faculty council thurs- day gave the desired hours with the exception that open house closes at twelve rather than one or two as students wished.

T . HE ORIGINS OF THE PRESENT war in Vietnam go back to the struggle for viet- namese independence against a french col- onial regime in the 1940’s and 1950’s, one of
many such revolutionary movements which de- veloped in the third world during and after world war II. The Vietnamese revolution was peculiar in one respect, however-its leadership was com- munist.
Years before, the father of the Vietnamese inde- pendence movement, Ho Chi Minh, had decided that communist doctrine and discipline offered the best means of overthrowing french rule. Notwith- standing Ho Chi Minh’s commitment to commun- ism, the american government under Franklin D. Roosevelt provided aid and assistance to the mov- ement during the second world war, in order to de- feat a common enemy, the japanese, who were then occupying Vietnam. .
After the war the french tried to restore their colonial regime in Vietnam using a Vietnamese collaborator, Bao Da&-a policy which brought them into direct conflict with Ho Chi Minh and his col- leagues, who were trying to establish an independ- ent nation.
Fighting began in 1946, after the french shelled the city of Haiphong. The ensuing Vietnamese war for independence was, like the american revol- ution, also a civil war in which many Vietnamese fought on the side of the french colonialists.
In the meantime, the changing shape of world politics had changed american policy toward Viet- nam. As the United States became more and more 4 committed to a cold war against “communism”, support began to develop in America for the french colonial effort in Vietnam.
Following Mao Tse Tung’s triumph in China in 1949 and the outbreak of the korean war in 1950, the american public tended to identify all com- munists as part of an international conspiracy to conquer the world.
It was in this atmosphere that the american gov- ernment began to finance the french effort in Viet- nam paying 80 percent of the military cost of the war in the years from 1950 to 1954.
Accord at Geneva In spite of american aid, however, the french
gave up the struggle in 1954 and agreed to settle the conflict peaceably at an international confer- ence in Geneva, attended by the major powers of the world.
The Geneva accords provided for a ceasefire and regroupment of military forces into provis- ional northern and southern zones, divided at the 17th parallel. ,
Implementation of the ceasefire and regroup- ment agreements were to be overseen by an in- ternational control commission composed of rep- resentatives from one western nation, Canada, one communist nation, Poland, and one neutral, India.
The commission was also to supervise the im- plementation of the political agreements reached at Geneva, which included nationwide elections to be held in two years to establish a permanent viet- namese government.
By dividing the country into provisional zones, the accords prevented the immediate coming to power of a vietminh government for all Vietnam, which had seemed inevitable given the french un- willingness to continue fighting. But the common
6 498 the Chevron
assumption was that they had only delalyed this outcome, since the vietminh appeared certain to win the elections in 1956.
For this reason the american government refus- ed to join France, Britain, Russia and China in rat- tfying the accords. It did, however, make a un- ilateral declaration not to interfere with them.
American policy from 1954 on was to render per- manent the temporary situation created by the accords, a divided Vietnam, and thus avoid the end to which their political terms seemed inevit- ably to point, a Vietnam united under communist leadership.
The United States government had already pres- sured France into having Bao Dai appoint as his premier Ngo Dien Diem, who had remained out of the country during the revolutionary struggle. After the Geneva Conference; Diem cooperated with the United States to substitute american for french influence in the southern zone of Vietnam.
By 1955 he had replaced Bao Dai as head of gov- ernment and was in a position to reject the over- tures of Ho Chi Minh’s government in Hanoi for discussions of the nationwide elections projected by the Geneva accords.
Recognizing that he would lose the elections Diem took the position that since his government had not approved the accords, it was not bound by them. Although this stand conflicted with the lang- uage of the accords which bound the french agents in Vietnam, or their successors, the international control commission, including Canada, made no effort to force the Diem government to conform with the political terms providing for national el- ections.
The Geneva accords also allowed Vietnamese to transfer from one zone to another if they chose. A substantial portion of the catholic community living in the northern zone-roughly three quart- ers of a million people-emigrated to the south so that they might live under a government headed by a fellow catholic rather than by the commun- ist, Ho Chi Minh.
It was largely these militantly anti-communist catholic emigres whom Diem drew upon to stafl his government and. who provided the principal basis of support for that government. ’
In 1956, as the time for the elections came ant went, Diem sent his appointees into the villages oj the southern zone to replace the officials who hat previously been locally elected. The unpopularity of the Saigon officials in the villages, many oj whom were corrupt, was one condition leading tc a resumption of the Vietnamese revolution.
A second condition was Diem’s effort to crush all political opposition to his government, non- communist, as well as communist. The methods used, destruction of hostile villages, arbitrary ar- rest of suspected dissidents, concentration camps, executions, etc., are those commonly associated with communist governments, and make it clear that the Diem regime equalled Ho Chi Minh’s gov- ernment in the northern zone in ruthlessness and brutality, if it did not surpass it.
The former vietminh whom Diem was trying to destroy renewed the revolutionary struggle in the southern zone. The most spectacular though not the most significant aspect of this revolution was the rebels “terroristic” attacks on the Saigon offic- ials in the villages. This was simply rpart of the larger struggle between the government and the c 1
Historical per: I the United SI -ing to undo c takes and “sa\ nam.To do it, willingtodest -esel nation aI
rebels for the control and support of the people, a struggle which the rebels began to win.
Unless a government is extraordinarily alienated from a large portion of its people no revolutionary movement can hope to succeed. As one leader of the movements for algerian independence put it:
Revolutionary warfare does not require simpiy dis- content among the masses but a sense of despera- tion and a grin determination to end injustice and humiliation. It demands patience with prolonged suf- fering and a determined conspiracy of silence and militant y.
By the end of the 1950’s the revolution had gath- ered sufficient momentum for the Hanoi govern- ment to recognize the southern rebels and provide assistance in organizing the struggle.
Believing like all Vietnamese, including Diem that Vietnam was one country and that they had been cheated of the fruits of their victory in 1954, Ho Chi Minh and his colleagues probably had no qualms about interfering in affairs in the south. But plagued with internal difficulties of their own and uncertain about the success of the revolution in the South, they were slow to come to its assistance.
After 1959, they began to send southern vietminh who had been regrouped in 1954 back to their local communities in the south to fight in the revolution. In 1960 they helped the southern rebels to form the national liberation front, a coalition of anti-Diem groups under communist leadership.
North Vietnamese assistance was still limited, however. As late as 1963, general Paul D. Harkins commander of the american forces in Vietnam ad- mitted: “The guerrillas are obviously not being reinforced or supplied systematically from North Vietnam, China or any other place. ”
The military game In the meantime, the american military com-
mitment in Vietnam was increasing. At first the United States simply trained the south Vietnamese army and supplied it with weapons. But after 1960 the number of military personnel was increased
‘and gradually americans began to participate more and more in the war itself.
By the beginning of 1965, there were 23,006 amer- ican military personnel in Vietnam. As the United States ,commitment grew in the early 1960’s there was evidently american pressure on Canada for greater support for her effort. Although Canada had with the other members of the international control commission allowed the United States and Diem to sabatoge the political terms of the accords in 1956, the Canadian representative did sign re- ports in 1957 and 1962 condemning other american violations of the accords.

however, the pentagon’s ber of north Vietnamese d
regular troops fighting in South Vietnam was 400 at the time of the american escalation, a time when the United States already had 25,000 of its own troops in Vietnam. Moreover, the claim totally ignored the fact that Vietnam was one and not two countries.
The north Vietnamese began to commit their troops in the south as the american military buildups continued, though at a much slower rate. In 1967, when the size of the american force approached half a million men, the pentagon estimated that there were 50,000 to 60,000 north Vietnamese troops fighting in the south.
Fun and more games As the magnitude of the war increased so too
did the damage to the society. The american policy of search-and-destroy missions and in- discriminate bombing of NLF-controlled areas demolished villages, killing and wounding com- batants and non-combatants alike and trans- forming a substantial portion of the south viet- namese into refugees.
In the fall of 1967 a senate investigating com- mittee estimated the yearly toll of civilian cas- ualties in Vietnam at about 150,000 persons; the total number of refugees at that time was estima- ted at about four million persons, one fourth of South Vietnam’s entire population. The committee concluded from its investigations that most of the casualties and refugees were the result of american military action.
At about the same time the director, co-director and five other workers from the international volunteer service program in South Vietnam, who had spent years doing humanitarian work there, resigned in protest against american mili- tary policy. In a letter to president Johnson signed by forty-three of the IVS workers they wrote that “to stay in Vietnam and remain silent is to fail to respond to the first need of the Vietnamese people-peace. ”
“The war itself,” they went on to say, “is an overwhelming atrocity.” According to the letter, the massive destruction in South Vietnam created a widespread Vietnamese hatred of the United States and the Saigon regime.
The efforts of the Saigon government to legi- timatize itself do not appear to have offset this hatred. The elections held under a new constitu- tion in the fall of 1967 were regarded as meaning- less by a large portion of the south Vietnamese population, because all serious contenders to the military ticket were ruled off the ballot in ad- vance and because there were widespread irregu- larities both during the campaign and in the elec- tion itself.
The committee of the south Vietnamese assembly which investigated the elections recomm,ended ;ixteen to three against their validation, and the nilitary junta had to exert all its influence to <et the assembly to accept them.
In the spring of 1968 general Nguyen Cao Ky, who arranged the elections and was elected the Iresident in them, told a european correspondent: ‘Our last elections was a loss of time and money, 1 mockery. They were useful to elect a regime which is wrong and corrupted and weak.”
Ky might have added that the elections merely confirmed in power a junta of military leaders ncluding himself who fought with the french n the war of independence and are consequently segarded by many Vietnamese as Benedict Arnold was by americans after their revolution.
Furthermore, the elected government like the governments before it, is a government of land- ords in a country where there are large num- )ers of, landless peasants whose strongest desire s for land of their own to till.
Finally, the government is every bit as dicta- torial and repressive as the Diem regime was. In violation of the constitution the press is cen- sored and enormous numbers of political persons are held without trial.
A recent investigation of south Vietnamese prisons revealed among other things that torture is commonly used to maintain discipline, that large numbers of children are being held under barbarous conditions, and that most of the pri- soners are not adherents of the NLF. Among the prisoners is the‘ runner-up presidential candidate in the elections of 1967, Trong Dinh Dzu. The crime for which he was sentenced five years was advocating peace talks with the NLF.
Strengthening the NLF The weaknesses of the Saigon governmen:. has
meant that as the society was more and more ?olarized between the NLF and the government gy the intensified revoluntionary conflict, NLF strength increased in spite of the toll taken by american firepower.
By early 1968 the United States claimed to have killed over a quarter of a million enemy troops but the “enemy” was stronger than ever. This was forcibly brought home in the Tet offen- sive in february of 1968, in which virtually all the cities of South Vietnam were attacked, several were captured and one, the ancient capital of Hue, was held for twenty-five days against a bombing and artillery attack which destroyed four-fifths of the city.
The damage wrought not only to Hue but to all of Vietnam during the Tet offensive surpassed everything which had gone before. The comments of an american major about the city of Ben Tre seemed to characterize the entire american effort in Vietnam: “It became necessary to
clrestro y the town to save it. ‘I
The Tet offensive also shattered the confidence of the american people in the ability of their government to achieve a military victory in Vietnam and precipitated a financial crisis in The United States.
This eventually drove the Johnson administra- tion to seek peace negotiations through the halt- ing of the bombing of North Vietnam. The peace negotiations began in Paris in the fall of 1968,
jut stalled on the american government’s un- willingness to abandon its policy of undeviating upport for the Saigon regime.
Recently on a trip to Vietnam, president Nixon lamed the leader of that government, Nguyen Jan Thieu, as one of the great statesmen of our ime. It seems obvious that the NLF and the iorth Vietnamese will not agree to a settlement which includes the present leadership of the Saigon regime.
The nam.e of the game In the meantime destruction has continued
to rain down upon South Vietnam. Although the Nixon administration has reduced
the numbers of american troops in Vietnam slightly, it continued the policy of search-and destroy missions until last august, when public pressure against the war forced it to minimize american casualties.
The bombing of South Vietnam has been in- tensified. By the end of this year the United States will have dropped more than twice the tonnage of bombs it dropped in all theaters throughout world war II. B52 raids alone were reported to have torn about “two-and-a-half million holes forty-five feet in diameter and thirty-feet deep-holes that are now filled with water and are breeding grounds for malarial mosquitoes. ”
The United States is also engaging in an un- paralleled destruction of land through the use of chemical agents. Last may senator Vance Hartke, on the basis of material supplied by the pentagon, stated: “By the end of the calendar year, if one projects the figures, the loss of croplands _ (in Vietnam) will total more than half a million acres, and the total acreage treated with destruc- tive chemicals will exceed three and a half million acres. ’ ’
The permanent ecological damage to the society aside, it is no wonder that South Vietnam has been converted from an area which exported rice to one which must import almost a million tons yearly from the United States to survive. *And this is only a single aspect of the devasting effect the war has had in the Vietnamese economy and culture.
What are the human facts behind these statis- tics? A recent american friend services committee white paper on Vietnam, based on the reports of their workers in the countryside, puts the matter succinctly: “the cumulative result of U.S. involvement (on top of 25 years of warfare) borders not on Vietnam’s salvation but on its death.”
This is the consequence of a decade and a half of american intervention in a civil war in a coun- try on the other side of the globe.

CAPITOL (90 King east, Kitchener, 578-3800). A double bill of Three into two won’t go and Better a widow.
The former is a comedy about extra marital affairs starring Rod Stei- ger and Claire Bloom. Shortly after the film was produced, Steiger and Bloom announced the break-up of their own (real life) marriage. Better a widow is a so-called comedy which flops badly. The body-beautiful of Virna Lisi, however overexposed can’t even save this one.
FOX (161 King east, Kitchener, 745-7091) Despite rumours that Med- ium coo/ was to start this week, Easy rider is proving too great a box off- ice success to pull out.
As we all know it’s the cool movie of the year with something for everyone-rock music, souped-up bikes, drugs and disillusionment- which is probably why it’s cleaning up.
WATERLOO (24 King north, Waterloo, 576-1550) You’ve got just two more days to see The /ion in winter, the costume drama starring Peter O’Toole as Henry II and Katherine Hepburn as his wife, Eleanor of Aquitane. This is an over-acted cheapie movie abounding in bad dialog and trivial intrigues. It’s an impressionistic satirical summing up of the 1914 war, loosely based on the Joan Littlewood stage show.
Director Attenborough has brought together a star-studded cast which includes among others, Laurence Olivier, John Mills, and Vanessa Red- grave. A few fresh ideas have been added by Attenborough which gen- erally make for a good production.
ODEON (I2 King west, Kitchener, 742-9169). The battle of Britain a sup- er production about the air war over England in the Longest day style clo- ses tonight. It too has a star studded cast which includes Laurence Oli- vier, Michael Redgrave and Michael Caine.
Two Clint Eastwood movies open tomorrow. The good, the bad and the ugly is the last of the spaghetti westerns, that made Eastwood a star. Running about an hour too long it includes just about every cliche in the book.
From this point of view it’s one of the funniest movies playing right now.
Hang’em high is more or less along the lines of Eastwood’s earlier epics, except that it’s a Hollywood production. Old Clint actually has a name in this one and manages to change his expression a couple of times. He‘gets hung in the first five minutes of the movie, and after that the action never lags.
FAIRVIEW (Fairview shopping plaza, Kitchener, 578-0600) Back for the umpteenth time is Gone with the wind.
This classic, which first hit the screen in 1938, is one of the highest grossing movies in Hollywood history, right up there with Sound of mus- ic. It stars Clark Gable, Vivian Leigh and a host of others, many of whom have long since vanished from the face of this earth.

The Easter egg
Plot ridiculous but... by D. Bowden Suits Chevron staff
The easter egg, a play in three short. acts, was presented thurs- day night in the arts theater-ho hum.
After the first ten minutes I thought I had made a mistake- surely I was witnessing the first rehearsal of the play. But no, it was for real. I had the program in my hands, and there was an au- dience of fifty or sixty people (which decreased expoentially as the intermissions increased).
Due to circumstances beyond my control, I was unable to slip away, and so I resigned myself to paying halfhearted attention to the stage antics. The other half I turn- ed toward trying to fill the vacuum which boredom always brings with it.
. I sat back, crossed my arms,
closed one eye, and tried to play a game of chess in my head. White moves pawn to king 4, and black, deciding upon the french defence, moves pawn to king 3. The second move is pretty much automatic. White: pawn to queen 4. Black: pawn to queen 4.
(Incidentally, the play concerns a 22-year old who is kept mentally imprisoned by his money-hungry and social-climbing stepmother.)
White sees the possibility of es- tablishing a strong pawn position in enemy territory and moves: pawn to king 5. Black, however, attacks white’s position by pawn
to queen’s bishop 4. A good move. ( Mean while, the stepmother’s
sister is trying to trap her beau, a sadistic and addlepated anglican clergyman, into a proposal of marriage. He proposes, and she accepts. )
White now shores up his pa.wn structure with pawn to queen’s bishop 3. But black continues the attack with knight to queen’s bish- op 3. White defends with knight to king’s bishop 3, but black presses on with queen to knight 3! Another good move.
(Apparently, the young man is in this confused mental state because long ago he had witnessed his fath- er’s suicide. For some reason an ornate, glass easter egg was bur- ied, and for some other reason, only slightly more understandable, a dead cat was buried at the same spot. )

St. Aethewold’s production of The easter egg by Canadian play- wright James Reaney is a change

from the groups usual program of highly stylized morality plays. ’
The easter egg, however, is an unfortunate choice. James Reaney may be a great poet but a play de- mands more than beautiful verse. This play was saved from total ob- scurity only by the acting ability of the group and the admirable direction of Judith Hinchcliffe.
The whole company worked hard to make a smooth, total produc- tion of Reaney’s choppy plot es- pecially Saskia Tuyn as the widow and Kenneth Lavigue as the re- tarded son.
Pat Connor maintained the fine line between the maudlin and the farcical, and was consequently able to convey honesty to lines such as “Oh Kenneth, you mustn’t be so cruel, you must always love people”.
Stephen Haller as Ira Hill, and Fred Tierney as George Sloan, both impotent though in different senses of the word, provided com- ic relief and the few touches of

ther than the group. One method of getting ideas a-
dross is to abstract them by means of symbols. Symbols are or should be subconscious emphases and re- iteration of concrete themes.
Unfortunately Reaney has goof- ed in this area. His use of symbol- ism is heavy-handed and self-con- scious and one gets the feeling he is saying, “now I will use a symbol of power, look everyone the neck- lace is a symbol of power.”
Generally the’ symbolism is ill- timed, does not follow logically or fit smoothly. It tends to jump out of context and bludgeon the audi- ence (like the Chevron).
The play needs a number of re- writes, or a co-author who under- stands the difference between good poetry and good theater.
All in all, the actors and director admirably made the most of a poor play. It is wonderful to make use of Canadian talent, but surely there must be far better Canadian plays than this one.

-SW strikers vote to .end confrontation BURNABY (CUP)-The strike at
Simon Fraser University is over, but the tribulations of faculty and students in the department of political science, sociology and anthropology may have just begun.
Approximately 150 PSA strikers voted last tuesday to end their confrontation with the SFU administration, 41 dAys after administration president Kenneth Strand forced the conflict over restora- tion of autonomy to the only university department in Canada which had in- stituted complete student parity.
After the vote to end the strike, the eight faculty offered to help students catch up in their work-provided it did not violate suspension regulations imposed on them two weeks after the strike began September 24.
But SFU arts dean Dale Sullivan reminded the striker’s Wednesday of an academic senate decision made October 9, cancelling all but one PSA class taught by suspended f acuity .
Students who did not transfer to special courses in other university de- partments-thereby deserting the strike -will not receive academic credit for their work this semester.
But the professors were told by Sul- livan Wednesday they can “teach any- thing they want-it is unofficial.”
Three of the professors are still under a court injunction issued October 24 forbidding the profs to “obstruct any campus facility.”
Some of the PSA students have carried on studies since the beginning of the strike anyway-in counter courses set up to “provide an alternative to Strand’s university.”
“The irony of it is that some of us are working harder on the counter course than we would have on the original,” said professor Nathan Popkin, whose class has carried on a survey of ‘cana- dian attitudes toward their Canadian identity and toward foreign economic influences.
“We were doing something we are really interested in,” he said.
When the survey questionnaire is prepared, Popkin and his students will send letters to all students enrolled in Popkin’s original course, inviting them to aid in the survey work.
Popkin said his seven striking collea- gues still face hearings into their sus- pensions by a committee of the SFU board of governors, and also face sim- ultaneous dismissal proceedings.
The hearings are set to begin no- vember 17, over objections that board chairman Richard’ Lester bas prejudged their cases.
Presumably, the end of the PSA strike will also mean the end of the student parity arrangements which inspired the original administrative clampdown on the department last summer.
The administration refused to accept tenure recommendations made by the parity student-faculty committee in the
PSA department, and used its own ten- ure committee to demote, fire or place PSA professors on probation.
Students and faculty in the depart- ment demanded that Strand and the ad- ministration at least begin negotiations to reverse the decisions and remove the administrative trusteeship imposed prior to the tenure reversals.
Strand’s continued refusal forced the strike, which at its peak was supported by students in history, english and philo- sophy with vocal support from other university departments at Simon Fraser and across the country.
In Ottawa, Strand had no comment on the end of the strike-he said he had onl$ been informed by telephone of the event.
Strand was attending the annual con- ference of the association of universi- ties and colleges of Canada, which lasted from november 3 to 6. He was scheduled to fly back to SFU friday.

finding out more about life out- side the classroom than inside it, a University of Toronto pro- fessor told the commission on undergraduate curriculum re- forms at the association of uni- versities and colleges of Canada conference here Wednesday.
The 100 person at the commis- sion, one of seven which reported to the plenary of the AUCC na- tional meeting thursday, agreed
with prof Gerald McGuigan on that point.
But they were not so willing to concede his corollary that “we are ignoring the problems we have to face, we can’t con- tinue to view the university in the old ways. ”
“We discussed....how change, and sometime,; fundemental change, is possible in Canadian universities,” Dennis Healy, academic vicepresident at York

University and chairman of the commission, told a press con- ference following the commission.
But the arts i and II program at the university of British Col- umbia-which Healy used as an example of the kind of change he meant, and which McGuigan worked on and discussed in the commission-was not accepted as any kind of alternative by the delegates.

setmte MONTREAL (CUP)-A meeting of the Loyola
College senate degenerated into pandemonium thursday as the college’s administration called police onto the campus to eject student president Marcel Nouvet.
But an angry group of more than 50 students, crowded outside the senate room, blocking police attempts to carry the handcuffed president out of the building.
Loyola officials, trapped in the meeting, finally agreed to call off the -police if Nouvet dispersed the crowd and stayed off campus until friday.
The grotesque scenario began as dean of stu- dents Roderick Shearer accused Nouvet of dis- rupting the meeting, called to defend a clamp- down on protests in support of dismissed physics professor S.A. Santhanam. The administration dictum was issued Wednesday, after Santhanam refused an administration offer of $10,000 and the
. rest of a $16,000 grant to leave the campus. From a gallery seat, Nouvet angered senators
by interrupting their debate, and refused to leave the meeting at the request of administration pre- sident Patrick Malone.

Nouvet again refused to leave at Shearer’s re- quest, but even senate members were visibly shock- ed when seven police constables turned up at the meeting to cart the student president away.
The police grabbed Nouvet-who was linked arm- in-arm with his brother and his mother, Loyola professor Margaret Anderson-and Hauled him’ to the door ini handcuffs amidst rapidly-grow- ing chaos.
But students outside the chambers, screaming for Nouvet’s release, would not let police take him to their cars, and inside the senate meeting, fac- ulty and students implored Shearer to withdraw the police.
After 20 minutes of confusion, the dean of stu- dents agreed to set Nouvet free and promised no charges would be laid against him.
By the time things settled down, three senators had walked out of the meeting, and several pro- fessors have since indicated they will resign from the body over the incident.
Nouvet, in defiance of last Wednesday’s pro- hibition against protests, has called a mass m_eet- ing of students for November 12.
free-school” projects modelled after experiments in american universities. Approximately 240 first-year students at UBC en- rolled in the programs, which demand three-fifths of their cre- dit time be spent on a “theme- oriented” program abolishing normal restrictions of exams, rigid curricula and lectures.
McGuigan described it as “merely an alternative channel . . . so everybody doesn’t go through the same mold.” Other delegates said 3 valid evaluation of the project couldn’t be made because a random sample hadn’t been used-the students and faculty in the program were volunteers.
“These people, even in a tra- ditional course, would probably have done as well-certainly better than the average student,” said one.
Their statistical approach stymied concrete discussion of the kinds of change the, dele- gates saw as possible or neces- sary in undergraduate curricula.
For example, C.B. MacPher- son, U of T political science prof, summed up his criteria for breaking through “the restric-
tions of a necessary meritocracy : ” “The only way to shake our-
selves out of it,” he said, shrug- ging his shoulders, “is to shake ourselves out of it. ”
A student from the new uni- versity of Quebec pointed out the reason for the difficulty in agreeing on reforms.
“The question I’d like- to ask is, ‘what are yovr goals?“’ he said. “Once you answer that, you can easily find the pedago- gical means to achieve what you want. ”
The administrators’ discussion was abstract, he said, because “universities under neo-capi- talism don’t want such stu- dents-they are turning out cheap labor for industry.”
“Why then are you talking of changes in undergraduate curriculum? Do we need it?” he concluded.
Healy later told the press con- ference the only recommenda- tion to come out of the commis- sion was a resolution“ that cur- riculum changes be attempted by some body widely represen- tative of the university comm- unity.”

be remembered today.
The Canadians (or americans,

britons, germans, french or rus- sians) who fought but survived will have perceived the soldiers of the opposing country as their ene- my as they fought to preserve their particular form of freedom, economy and fatherland. ,
They did not then--nor are they
They are calling for the support of a policy of war in the name of the ideals of the nation.
, They are calling for the support of the conduct of a war that has its. roo,ts in an economic policy of temporary booming prosperity through a vigorous industrial-mil- itary complex in particular and foreign exploitation in general.
They are calling for support of these policies in the name of those who have given their lives for the same policies-the policies of the fatherland.
apt to now-perceive their enemy to be a particular mythical defini- tion of freedom, a particular con- cept of fatherland or a particular system of econo-my.
The definitions, concepts and systems of the opposing countries were remarkably similar.
* * * While the powers that fought in
the imperial wars known as the first and second world wars had the same basic beliefs, a small vociferous minority held a differ- ent view.
The fatherland in this case is America-land of the free, home of the brave, etc. But it could eas- ily have been nazi germany.
* * * . The only human reality of re- membrance day is the senseless death of the pawns of the game played by the ruling groups of op-! posing societies.
The russian socialists who with- drew from the first imperial world war to have a revolution were able. to do so largely because the war raised the people’s consciousness to=understand the folly of their sys- tem. .
Certainly the nazi aggresssors had to be stopped-but by the peo- ple of another country whose gov- ernment and whose economic and social policies are no better?
The first-world war was no diff- erent-it was a mere game be- tween ruling groups.
Unfortunately, the people’s in- fluence waned and Stalin wasn’t much better than the imperialists who waged the second world war.
A second example is the people of Vietnam. They have fought one imperial power after another. in search of real freedom. No mere patriotism, no totalitarian manip- ulation would make such a pro- longed struggle possible.
\Both world wars were only pro- ducts of the economic conditions of the times and the policies of the people holding economic and polit- ical power.
War in such a situation is only escalated competition. The only real losers are the pawns-in- stead of being just a wage-slave for a living, some of the workers have to risk getting killed for a liv- ing. +
In his speech a week ago, Rich- ard Nixon told the great silent ma- jority Let us be united for peace. Let us also be united against de- feat. Because /et us understand: North Vietnam cannot defeat or humiliate the, United States. Only americans can do that.
. Every world power involved in the world wars was an imperial power, pursuing whatever colonial interests it could get away with.
The only social issue involved was the massacre of the jews in Germany-the extent of which was not known until the war was over anyway.
That was unintentional satire: the democratic rhetoric of the Un- ited States was defeated and hum- iliated long ago by americans, and the determination of the Viet- namese people continues this de- feat and humiliation today.
In the same speech, Nixon reit- erated the domino theory-if Viet- nam falls to the tommies, so will the rest of the area-a theory that has excused U.S. imperial pres- ence in the, entire area in question.
Racism may not be as blatant in the morally upright countries that fought Germany, but their oppres- sion of minorities in other ways is probably just as immoral.

Half a dozen times, Nixon told the silent majority he had a plan to win America’s peace in Viet- nam.

Great. Silent majorities Richard Nixon’s much-publiciz-
ed speech on Vietnam openly ap- pealed to the great silent majority to support him.
Well, how .did he hope to solve
as it provided them with the same standard of living and at least a theoretical chance for “those who work hard” to get ahead.
The only other thing necessary would be well-controlled mass me- dia: ’
the internal contradiction of a sil- ent majority executing some act of support?
They could go out and physically try to silence the small vocal min- ority. The ,great silent majority would be able to retain its identity by definition as the opposite of the small vociferous minority, if not in-reality.
The great silent majority could go out and vote in the off-year el- ections the next day for the pro- Nixon, pro-war candidates. Dicky managed a tricky play here, since free primetime television the night before the election is hard to compete with.
Most importantly, the great sil- ent majority could go back to what it’s most useful for-being silent. . . working,. consuming, believing in the american way.
In 200 years, the american peo- ple have been transformed from a group that fought a revolution be- cause they weren’t consulted a- bout a tax on tea to a mass of manipulated human commodity.
It is a serious possibility that the great silent majority would ac- cept open totalitarianism as long
But the media are well-controll- ed now and probably are largely responsible for the existence of the great silent majority. Remem- ber those mildly anti-establish- ment liberals, the Smothers bro- thers? . Y
Only rarely in history has the great silent majority escaped manipulation to be really heard. And in no society is it yet in real control of its own destiny.
The democracy of Richard Nix- on is based on a great silent ma- jority.. .and it’s a farce.
It can be manipulated at the whim of those who hold political and economic power.
It can silently send thousands of telegrams to support Nixon, but it could never, never be seen in the streets.
For the great unwashed, the workingman, the dedicated stu- dent, the ordinary Joe will always .be at the politicians’, the bosses’ or the administration presidents’ command until they take control of their society and continually be ’ vocal to keep it.

WHEN JOHNNY ZAME MARCHING HOME
He stares And searches The old mirror at noon For friendly faces: Not a muscle twitches, The owl can only break The rock of night.
This can’t be Johnny Campanella, With a green face And red crackling eyes?
What happened to summer hair That hissed in the sun, Xnd why - A gnarled limb of tree For those foot-ball legs?
Or is this the boy Who peeped Into a wounded corner, And saw a cloud of locusts Gather in the golden paddy?
Rooted his hair in mud, Where hair grew long And sad as willows, Where the jambu and lovi Bled in the green bush?
Who fell among thieves On an island of rock That flamed at its core, Where the blue water Only nibbled At its iron sides?
Or was his feet still going; Going on that road, Every cobble-stone A tongue of flame Thrusting and twisting And turning Towards the empty palace On the hill Where the angry gods Had played their rituals And left nothing But limbs of clay?
