Task force shims NUS OTTAWA (CUP)-The national Union- of Students (N-US) was refused entrance to the meeting of the federal-provincial task force on student aid here on Feb. 13.

NUS had sent a letter requesting an opportunity to address the meeting to speak in favour of seating student delegates on the task force.

Hilda Creswick, research secretary for NUS, made it no further than the ground floor of the confer-

s ence centre where the tas$ force was meeting.

- She met briefly with task-force co-chairman R.J-. Lachappelle and G.M. Davies, together with Robin Skuce of the department of secretary of state.

They informed her that the task .force, set up early last fall to review and recdmmend broad changes in student aid for future years, did not

. have the authority to seat students as members.

-Any decision on whether stu- .dentS could sit as members, they said, would have to be made by the Council of Educatiofi Ministers. The council, which consists of educatiqn ministers from each province, has a standing policy of not al)owing for “professional group” representation on sub-comtiittees.

According to the task force chairman, students are a professional group. They suggest NUS

set?d a written request to the Coun- cil about student representation.

The two co-chairmen and Skuce stated that they-saw a need for student input into student aid policy changes, but were less emphatic about actual participation on the task force.

“I think it would be foolish for the federal government to imple- ment any ichanges in student aid without a good deal of discussion with students”, said Skuce.

“We are intending at the approp- riate time to consult students”, said Lachappelle, adding that NUS would at least have the chance to present a brief on the task force recommendat ions after they are formulated.

He also said that secretary of state Hugh Faulkner, is prepared to meet with NUS about student aid if NUS wants a meeting.

Hilda Creswick later said, the meeting “wasn’t very encourag- ing,” but added that NUS would take the adviqe of the co-chairmen.

She said NUS would send a letter immediately to the Council asking that students be seated on the task force, “because that’s where the real changes in student iid will come from.”

She also intends to ask that the Council make available reports and records 6Fthe task force for study

Up to that point Renison’s opinion had been that they would not be able to get a fair hearing from an academic and were only concerned with the legal issues of the two case?.

The “last ditch”’ meezing has come and gone and negotiations continue. What was agreed at that meeting no one will say. But it

by students. SFfa‘r the task force, which meets in closed sessions, keeps all records- “confidential”.

Creswick feels that NUS can not make a very effective contribution to the deliberations of the task force by pre’senting a brief to the Council,-particularly when NUS is unable to know what is being dis- cussed and decided at the meetings.

Maurice Richer, the CEM secretary general, said in a telephone interview tha t the de cision of whether to seat students on the task force as either members or observers is “political”. He said the NUS request will be forwarded to Council chairman -Thomas Wells, Ontario Minister of Education.

According to Richer, Wells could decide to refer the Guestion to- the next CEM meetingi scheduled for Farly June, or he could contact other ministers to find out their posi$ons on student representation.

The NUS campaign to get students seated on the task force has been supported by the Ontario Federation of Students and the newly formed Atlantic student federation.

NUS has also requested member campuses to write to their provincial governments urging support for the seating of student representatives on the task force.

seems that a definite decision on whether the two can agree on t’he form and substance of arbitration has not been reached.

Chairman of Yhe Renison board of governors, Mr. W.T. Town- shend, would only say that “after lengthy discussion each side agreed to meet again and that at that time we would each, have a proposal to make. ” “We have made progress,” he added. CAUT officer, Prof. Iirn Stevens of Guelph, said “I don’t want to make any- com- ment in case I jeopardise negotiations.”

The n’ext -meeting between the two sides is tentatively* set for March 5. Should they then agree to go to binding arbitration Stevens

feel’s that by the time all the details are ironed otit actual arbitration would not take place until well into April.

leaving for the summer recess. Re- nison students, concerned about the firings, might have to leave before a-final decision is reached. It is unlikely that they would even know what details were to be considered at the arbitration since it is not CAUT policy to make such things public before the hearings. knd one such detail would be whether the terms o’f the arbitration would guaran_tee the reinstatement of the two professors should the final de- , cision favour their case.

OSAP: no raise in loan ceiling- OTTAWA (C-UP)-The Ontario Federation of Students (OFS) said Feb. 12 that the Ontario Student Aljsistance Programme will not raise loan ceilings next year.

They also say that the Ontario government will recommend to the treasury board that living allow- ances go-up from the present $32-a week and that lessened parental contributions be required next

OFS says they were told that would be the proposil and plans would be outlined by Minister of Colleges and Universities James Auld in a press confecence to be held in three weeks time. L

“They have indicated ‘to us that the federal government is going to raise the loan ceiling-to $1,800 but that the Ontario government will keep theirs at the present level. But I don’t believe them for a minute”,

said Carolyn Kendrick, an OFS re- searcher.

Speculation remains that the Conservative government doesn’t w,ant to alienate the student popula- tion more than it already has, as it will probably be holding a provincial election this year. However, if they are re-elected they could raise the loan ceilings. + s

“The whole programme totally ignores al! the issues we and other students across the province have been raising”, Kendrick said. “The whole programme is unac-’ ceptable. The question of summer earnings has to be looked at, the grant portion of the loans should be increased and the loan ceiling even at the $800 level is still too high.” ’ ’

“Students are just beginning to realize that the only way to have equality of education is to abolish tuition fees and establish living stipends”, she said.

Jock fees hiked 1 Without student. referendum . OTTAWA (CUP)- Students at Carleton University ma!y pay 60 per , cent more in athletic fees next year without a referendum to approve the increase. .

The fee change from the present $30 to $50 annually has been recommended by the Carleton Athletic Board, and will now, be considered by the university’s Board of Governors. .

According to those employed in the athletics department, the fee increase is needed to avoid an estimated $110,000 deficit next year. Some of the student representatives on the athletic board have expressed the opinion that few students would support the increase if it were put to a referendum.

It is claimed that there is no time for a referendum. The athletic I board, which received the budget for review two weeks ago, has to

make-its recommendations to t.he Board of Governors without the delay a referendum would produce, according to one source. . At a meeting held,Feb. 7, to discuss the increase, a plan was pre-

’ sented by the administration which would have seen fees go from $30 to , about $41, with a cost of living fee increase to be used in future years.

But an alternate proposal from student representative Dave Dunn that would see the fee immediately increased for next year to $50 for students and the creation of a user-group board to review changes

-needed in the programme, was accepted., .

The intent of the proposal, according to one source, was to accept the inevitability of a fee increase while attempting to set up a Student controlled body to see what aspects of the athletic programme need changing.

s stage- ‘Trot’ talk as. The Federation of Students will bring back to campus a polrtical speaker

who was banned last week by members and sympathizers of the Anti- lmperi~list Alliance (AIA).

Tom Reid, spokesman for the International Spartacist Tendency, was prevented Feb. I 1 from finishing a speech on the “revolutionary strategy for Canada” by close to 30 followers from Al A who claimed that his sole reason for talking was to split their organization (which numbers from 30 to 50 members). They then endorsed a motion banning “Trots” from campus.

But according to federation official Shane Roberts the banning of the “Trot?” was a “silly motion” as AIA doesn’t have the authority to bar people from lecturing at UW; Only the federation, which represents UW students, can deny a person or a group speaking privileges, he said.

He wa,s backed Wednesday by members of the federation’s board of education who-unanimously voted to invite Reid to speak again at UW and pay up to $22 for his travel and publicity expenses. Roberts also said that the ‘“campus should nit be closed off to bolitical sects’: who want to impart th_eir views to the academic community. ’

Other board members expressed concern over AIA disrupiing Reid a second time and ways to avert such a development. Board member Assan Makavora said that the campus security should be called in to eject troublesome elements but other members were hesitant as they didn’t feel the situation warranted such action.

Finally it was decided that federation officials should be present at Reid’s next talk to insure that there’s an “uninterrupted session”. How- ever, if AIA members continue to disrupt meetings then they could “for- feit their right to York on campus”, Roberts warned.

The banning of the “Trots” arose midway through Reid’s speech when AIA member Marlene Webber introduced a motion calling f&r such a measure as she affirmed that the Spartacist Tendency’s sole aim in politics was to enter groups such as AIA and “leech” off them.

Webber was supported by Jeffrey Forest, also an AIA member, who added that “Trots” should be eliminate~d as they are “CIA agents” or should be booted out of Canad+,The Spartacists-consider themselves to be “true” Trotskyists-i.e. those who identify with Leon Trotsky’s harsh criticisms of the “Stalinist clique” which took over the Soviet Union after Lenin’s death.

Renison d-ispute

Tom&r, warns senate - Senators arriving for Monday’s

The meeting then degenerated into a fracas which was later described as “political infighting” by a participant. The “political infighting” involved AIA member John Stafford pushing the chairman of the meeting and trying t-o snatch some pamphlets from the Spartacists’ literature table.

Uganda slams cbrrespondhts - / OTTAWA (CUP)- A government statement released by the Uganda High Commission here accuses foreign journalists of being spies, and threatens the safety of relatives of Ugandans abroad who say bad things about the motherland to the press.

The officidl statement, bearing no date, and w.hich quotes an uniden- tified military spokesman, states: “It .is sad to ‘note that most of the w&em newsmen who come to Uganda in most cases to seek an interview with.His Excellency the President normally come with the intention of spying on behalf of th&r imperialist masters, especially the British.”

The military spokesman said, “This must stop.” He also commented on an interview given by Mr. Wakhweya,

Uganda’s former Minister of Finance, who recently fled the country. The spokes’man took issue with a statement made by Wakhweya, that Uganda had received no foreign currency payments since last Novetiber and was nearing the state of bahkruptcy.

The spokesman refused the charge by asking: “How could a country - like Uganda with not a single dollar in foreign currency go to the extent of ordering more than three hundred lorries at the cost of three hundred I thousand five hundred shillings each?” _ ’

As for Wakhweya, the spokesman said that he “is becoming Uganda’s enemy number one.” He. accused the former minister of having “smugg1e.d a lot of the Ugandan tax-payers money abroad” during his four year term, and said he is now “trying to coyer up his evil de.eds.”

According to the release, the military spokesman made it “gategori- ’ tally clear that the relatives of such exiles will be the suffere’rs if such propaganda is not stopped.”

The military spokesman ended his statement with a stem warning that “These people have ‘to pull up their socks. They have to wake up. This is the last warning to Wakhweya and his collaborators. The same last warning also goes to those ihternational newsmen who seek inter- views tiith His Excellency the President of Uganda.“-

Pacifists battle - army display,

- ’ VANCOUVER (CUP)- A v ancouver mall was the s&ne dfa peace- ful anti-military protest last week (Feb. 3) when members of a, Canadian Armed Forces recruitment campaign set up a weapons display *

Two yancouver-area citizens armed w’lth leaflets, posters, and peti-\ tions set up a table opposite to the army, anxious to state their opposition to military spending and the public display of weapons.

Although the soldiers were attracting more attention, the protesters won the battle for signatur& 205 t’o 15.

Leader ofthe protest, 56-year-old Claire Culhane, a veteran anti-war campaigner, said she was incensed at this kind of display.

“The first thing I saw was some five-year-olds being shown how to load and unload a gun.”

Culhane said the officer in charge told her he appreciated her view- point, but there was “nothing he could do.”

The protestors had signs reading “Train useful skills, not killing” and “Canadians need houses, not guns.”

Their petition read @part, “We protest military displays in public centres. We protest children being instructed in the use of military hardware.” s

Major Gerry Gangtir, in charge: of recruitment for the re&ent involved, said recruitment displays are often set up in public areas‘such as shopping malls ‘and schools .

Campus forum ‘, 4 John Dean’s c~ncerwlture

A light white wine in a - classic black bottle.

- Imported from Germany. ’

Quite affordable. Quite udorgettable~

by Sam Gupta . John Dean is come and-‘gone,

$7000 richer for his two appear- ances at Guelph and Carlton universities. One can always count on knowledge-hungry, politically- conscious poor students in Ontario to make a small contribution to; wards such socially-significant r events as John Dean’s crusade to “tell the truth”, to “let it all hang out” over the next nine weeks in various colleges and universities in North America, for a paltry sum of $175,000.Truth has its price-as our lawyers well know, and John Dean is a lawyer. By popular demand, he may even extend the season, and by God, if the price is right,, he will let it hang out even more. -..

Similar lecture-circuits are being covered by other celebrities of the Watergate drama, including, through some ironic twist, such celebrated non-participants as Ron Ziegler.

<Where are the women, damn it, Rose Mary Wood and Martha Mitchell?

John Dean-as indeed others-is also writing a book, for which he is

being paid $300,000. There is little doubt there will be a film;entitled I am no Crook, scripted by Hunt and Liddy, directed by the disting- uished film-director John Ehrlich- man, starring matinee-idol Richard Nixon. And if the film is there, can a Broadway musical be far behind: Oh, Oh, the Cancer is Growing op the Presidency. And if John Dean plays it right, perhaps he can have his literary agent procure for him an honourary doctorate of law at the University of Washington and of ’ Ottawa. Why not? In Stockholm they give Nobel prizes. Ah, the sky is the limit. What freedom and free enterprise can do!

I thought John Dean and his cohorts ‘were -found guilty of crimi- nal acts. Didn’t he confess that much? Was he not in jail? By inviting him for $3,500, were Guelph and Carleton universities trying to make heroes out of criminals? Or were they trying to entice some’ special words of wisdom from him that he withheld in a hundred or more hours of testimony before various committees and courts? Or were they trying to titillate themselves by belatedly playing jury in an American drama? Or was it yet another attempt to make univer-

sities into some kind of amusement park or Maple-Leaf Gardens? Or perhaps they were trying to show their compassion to victims of circumstances “who have already suffered too much” by helping them pay off their debts in exorbit- ant legal expenses? Or did they look at him as a potential big drawer for‘ an evening’s entertain- ment that may not require too large a contribution from a hard-pressed Biological Science Student Associ- ation at Guelph that is sponsoring his visit? Or perhaps they believed that in John Dean they have found the perfect philosopher-king we have been looking for since the time of Plato? Or perhaps it was simply some harmless fun for an evening? _ I

Well, I believe there is something dangerously dehumanizing when all human experiences become a material commodity for sale. We invoke the most pious concepts, yet in the, name of freedom we “sell” hustlers, in the name of pef- sonal choice we sell well- researched and calculated manipu- lation, in the name of opportunity, we sell opportunism.

John Dean was undoubtedly the most crucial witness in the shame- less drama of Watergate, but he is no hero, he is no seer. He ‘is not innocent, he is proven to be a crook. It has cost the American public millions of dollars and months of agonizing to get some truth in this devastatingly corrupt drama. And yet who stands to “gain” by it-thanks to our colleges and universities and the mass media-the very men who were found to be guilty.

If our universities truly wanted to learn and acknowledge the scho- larship and perseverance and courage of our public men, they should have invited Bernstein and Wood- ward of Washington Post who had the courage to take this lid off the Pandora’s Box, or Professor Ar- chibald Cox who kept drilling, till his fall, at the hard rock of decadent,.,, power or Senator Irvin or Judge Sirica who even in their old age didn’t lose faith in the most basic concepts of justice. Perhaps what the universities seek is cheap sen- sationalism. Not heroes but celebrities, not courage but glibness, not knowledge but frivolous amusement. And out there in the “real” world, there are all kinds of literary, publicity and secret agents -who inthe name of freedom and free-enterprise will give us suckers what they hear us say we want.

Of course, people have written about their experiences in jail before: Dostoevski, Mahatma Gan- dhi, Jean Genet and Eldridge Cleaver. But there is something uncanny when high-class hustlers and criminals-with no political, religious or moral struggle in their acts of crime-are tacitly “hon- oured’: by the students, professors andthe public by such a huge sum as $3500 for moufhing off what, has already become, in thousands of pages of testimony, as public prop- erty. J

Students at Guelph and Carleton might think that this was a mere simple fun, but by their action of inviting John Dean, they have helped in the shameful perpetua- tion of high class hustlers in our economic and public system.

Could it be that cancer is growing, not only on the presidency but on our entire culture!

CIA~x protectdl.S. Kg business + -. , TORONTO (ChP)---“The CIA is: a secret police force working at the service of the U.S. multinational corporations and next to warning about surprise attacks from a foreignIpower, its’ most importBnt function is the protection of the economic interests of- these companies”, a former CIA agent said here last week.

Philip Agee, a Latin American = specialist with theC.IA from 1956 to 1969, told about 300 people at a forum at the University of Toronto that CIA activities are directed against “groups who would.oppose U.S. capital penetration of .their countries.”

CIA activities must always be seen within the c’qntext of the pre- v,ailing economic realities, Agee taut ioned. “‘The real argument is

:* not with the CIA, but with the system of economic exploitation. The CIA is j.ust the, enforcing

mechanism.” ’ Agee broke with the agency in

1969 when he decided to publish and expose the agency to the whole world. His book Inside the Com- pany: CIA Diary, published this year, outlines his progression from agent to revolutionary and contains . lengthy descriptions of the CIA’s methods of intelligence-ghthering and clandestine operations.

Agee was still a student at Notre Dame University in Indiana when the CIA first contacted him in the’ spring of 1956. During the first few years with the “Company” he / readily accepted the official expla- nation that the CIA exists to pre- serve American values and warn against any surprise attacks.

All revolutionary socialist movements *were regarded as examples of Soviet expansknism, he said, and by defeating them the CIA claimed to be ‘“buying time for

the local liberal reformers.” But his skrvice in Ecuador and

Uruguay in the early ’60s led him to see “contradictions between liberal reforms and true social justice’.” -

The promised reforms never af- fected the critical problem of land ownership and, “I saw that the more we succeeded in propping up the existing regimes, the further away went the -hopes for real re- form since there was no longer any, pressure upon the governments to act.”

Agee now describes himself aS a revolutionary socialist.

Drawing partially from examples in his own career, Agee .mentioned numerous examples of CIA covert activities in Latin America and elsewhere.

The CIA staged the 1954 rightist coup in Guatemala to protect the inve%tment of the powerful United

- . I

Fruit Company. The 1965 invasion of the Dominican’ Republic was necessary to protect the interests of U.S. sugar companies.

In Brazil the CIA spent over $20 million to mtinipulate the 1962 general. election, then supported the 1964 army coup and later helped train the secret police agency which currently runs a brutal police state with many “unspeakable tor- tures.”

After Salvador Allende almost, won the presidency of Chile in 1958, the CIA cooperated with the First National City Bank to finance the success‘ful campaign of rightist Eduardo Frei in 1964 and, of course, helped engineer the 1973 coup in which Allende was mur- dered.

Elsewhere the CIA is active in Laos, Zaire, Ecuador, Iran and South Korea, where it supports the local secr’etpolice whom A’gee

FROM MOLSON’S -INDEPENDENT BREWERS SINCE*1786 ! / \

termed “one of the most terribl’e forces of repression in the world.”

“Vietnam was a higher level of the same type of repression,” Agee said, adding that the U.S. decision to co’mmit hundreds of thousands of regular troops was an admission that the CIA’s traditional covert ’ tactics were a total failure.

The main factor governing U.S. policy in Vietnam is “the flexible requirement for complete solidarity in preserving approproate con- ditions for foreign investment by U.S. companies”, he said.

Although his activities were directed almost e*ntirely at Latin America, Agee suggested the CIA is undoubte,dly active today in Canada.

““Since Cahada poses such a min- -- / iinal threat to U.S. economic interests”; he said, “the CIA will likely have only a monitoring function, keeping its finger on the political pulse.”

He said it pays special attention to groups advocating economic nationalism and likely reports regu- larly to oth&r U.S. government agetlcies.

Despite the aura of mystery Sur- rounding it, the CIA is not all powerful and can be defeated, Agee said.

As one technique, he announced the formation of a grdup in * Washington that will begin “a campaign of solidarity” involving progressive groups in countries where the CIA operates.

“We will collect information 6n CIA agents and then forward it to national organization fighting for liberation, who will then take ap- propriate action to neutralize the CIA activity in their country”, he explained.

Recently the group supplied’ sympathetic Mexican organizations with information concerning 37 of the 49 known CIA agents operating-in that country. The information was widely publicized in the Mexican press and, said Agee, “within two days the two top CIA

. officers were withdrawn from Mex- i ice.”

Women * .diop-in

MONTREAL (CUP)-A drop-in centre for women at McGill Uni- versity will open this week as a place for women to get together.

Laurie Fox, president of the Women’s Union says the. centre will be opt% to men but “its focus will be ob women, a @ace where they. can feel important in male- dominated McGill.” -

She said the centre’s aim is “to _ organize women at McGill., women in Medicine, Law agd Nursing who don’t have much contact with each other. We hope to keep in touch byinviting representatives of the different faculties to the centre.” -

The centre will have a library of- fering books. magazines and clip- pings that will be of interest to women. It will also direct women seeking information to resource centres in the ‘Montreal community. Consciousness-raising groups will be started and a speakers’ program is planned.

Of the $8,000 given to the Women’s Union by Students’ So& iety, the centre has been allocated approximately $1,500 towards the purchase of books and magazines.

Fox is looking forward to “input from women who use the centre, even.once it’s set up ,physically , as to ideas about what else is needed.” . /

i In this article by a--former auto worker, Martin Claberman,- cl.aii% that the United A& Workers onion hai become an institutionalised bureaucracy, - which -does not serve the interests of the -new genera-‘ tion of workers, aid which is likely to be replaced by _ more radical organisations.

For those who hope to work in factories this stimmer it is a/so a Gseful insight into what‘assembly-line work .

(Labour relations, it should be noted-, has nothing to .do with workers; it has to do with relations between company representatives and union rep?esen- tatives .) ’

The De_troit Free Press published the following - report in August 1970.:

doesn’t dd for. the mind. ’

,by Martin Glaberman - On the morning of July 16, 1970,the Detroit Free

Press featured on its ‘front page a large picture of General Motors Vice President Earl Brambleat and UAW President Leonard Woodcock shaking hands

r as they opened negotiations for a new contract. The .- ’ headline beneath the- picture read’ “Negotiations

Begin: Auto Talk-Key: Living Costs.” - The banner headline that morning; overshadow-

ing the ritual start of negotiations, was: “Ousted Worker Kills Three in Chrysler Plant Shooting; 2 Foremen, Bystander Are Slain.” A black worker at Chrysler’s Elden Avenue Axle Plant, suspended for

‘7” insubordination, had killed two foremen (one black, ’ one white) and a Polish setup man.

“Some ,46 per, cent of General Motors’ hourly workers are below age 35. They have never known a depression, thev have had more schooling than the

,man who lived through the last one,. and they aren’t impressed by the old Spartan idea that hard, repeti- tive work is a virtue.

. The-timing of the events was coincidental-but it‘ was the kind of coincidence that lends a-special *

insight. What is at issue-not only in the auto negotiations but in most relations involving work- . ers, unions, and management-is not living costs but -

. living. Involved is not just dollars and cents, impor- _ , tant as always to workers, but an entire way ofl& Take a close lookaat the union’s demands.

~ The UAW left only one thing out: the demand to turn the plants over to the workers. Apart from the

-usual wage-increases and financial improvements, some of-the issues raised by the UAW bargaining teams included: pensions after 30 years/instead of after a specific age; restoration of the escalator cost-of-living clause to$s original form; ending time- clocks and putting production workers on. salary ;

* inverting seniority so that older workers could take the time off at nearly full pay in the event of layoffs; , the problem ofpollution; both in the plants and in the community; changing production to deal with bore” dom on the assembly line. /’

Many of these issues were raised purely for-prop-- aganda effect with little intent to bargain seriously \ , over them. .

;But taken as a whole, they provide an interesting _ -picture that reflects, if only in a distorted way, the

’ extent of the worker’s- concern for the nature of his -** workplace. ’ --

Public Sh.9~ of Militancy

They-are less responsive to authority than even the men who se&d the Flint GM plants in the his- toric 1936-37 sit-down strikes.”

_ Discontent

have indicated that it took approximately four years for the plant to be transformed from just an acciden- tal combination of workersto a’ relatively well or- ganized and disciplined force.

In the early days of the union thepower of the workers could be wielded more openly and more ’ directly. Woykers negotiated directly with the lo%wer levels of management and were able to settle things right on the shop floor. .Ho‘w easily they were able to do this depended, of course, on their relative

_ strength and the nature of the technology involved among other things.

As an example, workers in’the heat-treat department at the Buick plant in Flint had an especially strong position. I

. 7 .

‘ i

--This technique of bargaining was developed by ’ W~alter Reuther and is being continued by Wood-

cock. It gives the publicappearance of great militancy but it means something very -different.

While the leadership of the union goes through the -.- motions of accepting all the workers’ demands and pressing them on the companies, the tactic of pub-

_ licly demanding almost everything that could be , ’ thought of at the’ beginning of negotiations is in-

tended to keep the workers off their backs and keep .,a them quiet when-the serious negotiating begins in . secret sessions, It leaves the union leadership freeto

work out any settlement it thinks readle and to establish its own priorities in, the negoti,ations.

.

. ‘Unidnism’s litiit ’ y h . - The range of unions demands in negotiations also _

reflects something else. It is a s&n that unionism is reaching its limit. Not because they will win so little, but because they will-win so much and it will prove

T to be so little. - It will not make the life ofthe black worker at the

r\ EidonAvenue plant of Chrysler or the white worke? at the Chrysler plant in Windsor one bit more tolera- ble.? .

.’ That is one ofthe reasons that the union leadership has such a hard time with thenew generation of young workers in the plants. They tell the workers about the great victories of the union in the past and what $ was like-in-open shop days. /

- They tell the truth-those were genuine victories. But they have become transformed into their oppo-

_ site by virtue of‘becoming incorporated into con- - tracts and the whole process of what is calledlabour relations. -

. That is precisely the (background against which discontent is surfacing throughout the industry today, discontent that has reached its most advanced stage in the auto industry.

At the time of the dispute at the Chevrolet Vega *plant in Lordstown, Ohio, production on the assem-, bly line had been rationalized to the point where a

-job took 35 seconds. There are two categories of time that are difficult

to visualize from outsidethe factory. One-is 35 seconds’. ,You cannot light a cigarette-or

by on-the assembly line. The other category is the rest of your life. This is

where the worker expects to be for all of his working life-accumulating seniority. How can one express the tensions that are inherent in such a situation ’ -doing a job that takes 35 seconds for the rest of >.. your life? ’

Not uncommon is the sabotage of the product.- Sometimes this increases the amount of the repair - work coming off-the lines,. Sometimesthis saddles a customer with a built-in rattle in a high-priced-car because some worker welded a wrench or some bolts into a closed compartment.

The nature of violence and sabotage as a tool o.f workers provides an insight into the problems caused by the extensjve technologicalchanges of the past20 years. Although generally called automation,,. so,methingelse is involved: the first and basic reason for technological change is -the struggle against workers’ power by ‘the employers. Technological advance is designed, directly or indirectly,‘to eliminate workers or to make them more-subservient to the -machine. And most changes made in plants are madesolely to increase production rather than out of any concern for the workers.

For example, Chrysler stamping operations are now centered iii?he Sterling Township Stamping Plant, about-15 miles outside Detroit. The plant now does operations that were formerly done- at the Dodge, Plymouth, and Chrysler plants.

sions toworkers’ control. But that was also the period during which the -

separation of workers from the- union structure- ,began. The last major organizing success marks-the turn to bureaucracy.

When Ford fell to the&ion in 1941, both’ the check-off and full time for union committeemen were incorporated into the contract.

But- the .apparent- victories only created. more problems.. Workers wanted full time for union rep- -

- Full time for stewards-did more than relieve union representatives from company pressure-it also re- lieved representatives from workers’ pressure. The ’ steward is less available than he was before, and you have to have your foreman go looking for him should

workers are exploited to one degree or another. But office workers on the whole do not have to walk past armed guards going to and from work ‘and have a certain amount of freedom in scheduling their work on the job. The coffee break is not a blue-collar institution.

It is clear that historically bosses never thought that workers would work without the severest ex- ternal discipline and control. And they still don’t.

In addition-, no matter what all the theoreticians of capitalism may say, workers are treated very differ- ently from anyone else. #The Industrial Division of American Standard has a plant in Dearborn, Michigan which manufactures industrial air condi- tioning. The company places ads in trade journals urging employers to air condition their- facilities.

The office section of the facility is air conditioned. The plant is not. The only thing that makes this situation unusual is that the company manufactures the equipment. But even that isn’t enough to get them to provide for blue-collar workers what office workers, engineers, managers, and professionals now take as a matter of course.

Human needs The reorganization, technological change .and de-

centralization that characterized the fifties and cul- minated in the depression gave way to‘new expansion which brought significant numbers of young workers into the industry. These are workers who couldnyt care less about what the union won in 1937. They are not more backward (as the union bureaucrats like to pretend) but more advanced. They are attuned to the need to change the nature of-work, to the need of human beings to find satisfaction in-what they do.

It is this new and changing working class that was the basis for the new level of wildcat strikes, for a doubled rate. of absenteeism, for an increased

Both unions and industry are aware of their problem to some degree. “The UAW believes,” says the Free FVeSs, “that a better-trained corps of union stewards .would be better equipped to cope with these issues and with gut-plant problems, like narco- tics, alcoholism, loan-sharking, weapon-packing, pilfering, and gambling.‘ ‘A bunch of armed guards isn’t t-he only-answer,’ said one committeeman. ” ,

After 33 years of unionism, they have suddenly discovered that armed guards are not the answer.‘To put it plainly, they have suddenly discovered that armed guards are not enough. - -’

The slowdown of automation in the sixties (a con- sequence of the shortage of capital) has led to a relative stabilization. That is, workers in new instal- l-ations and in old ones -that have been reorganized have now had a few years to work out new forms of organization.

The- complaints against the young workers who make up a crucial force in the factories indicate that the wildcats of the past may be replaced, or at least supplemented, by something new.

The tightly knit structures of the big industrial unions leave no room for maneuvering. There is no reasonable way in which young workers can use the union constitution to overturn‘ and overhaul the union structure. The constitution is against them; the money and jobs available to union bureaucrats are against them. And if these fail, the forces of law and order of city, state and federal governments are against them. e

If that were not enough, the young workersin the factories today are expressing the instinctive knowledge that even if they gainedcontrol on the unions and reformed them completely, they would still end up with unions-organizations which owe their exis- tence to capitalist relations of production. ’

The impossibility of transforming the unions has

Paul Jacobs has documented this in the case of unions:

“A study of 70 international union constitutions the formal instruments that rule a membership 0; almost 16,000,OOO workers, shows among other things that in most of these 70 unions power is generally concentrated in the hands of the international presidents, with few restraints placed upon them, that discipline may be enforced against union members with little regard for due process, and that opposition to the incumbent administration is almost impossible.”

And all of this is what young workers are revolting against. _ F ,

That means that the course of future develop- ments in the factories has to be sought outside the unions. Caucuses and factions will still be built and, here and there, will have temporary and minor suc- cesses. But the explosions that are still to come are likely to have the appearance of new revolutionary forms, organizations which are not simply organs of struggle but organs of control of production. They are a sign of the future.

real name of the writer. Deadline for

defended Patricia Gilbert’s letter in last week’s

Chevron scolds FASS, “The Peasants’ Revolt”, for being, .among other things, “blatantly sexist” and “intellectually ban- krupt”. I’m writing to defend the show, since I was one of the people who wrote it, but the effort is probably unnecessary, since most of the 1400 people who saw the show didn’t suggest, by their applause, that it needed much defending.

ML Gilbert misses the point of FASS if she thinks it’s a criticism to call the show cliche-ridden. Of course FASS is full of cliches and stereotypeslthat’s the whole idea. It’s not, intended to be revolutionary. art or social criticism. If FASS is any pa7- titular art form (although “art” is probably too grandiose a term), it’s melodrama.

The cliches of the clean-cut hero, the beautiful (but dumb) secretary, the oily wicked Grand Duke, and so O’PI were not, and should not have been, designed- to show utopia or even liberated society; they’re a parody of society as it is (note the word p,arody , please).

Ms. Gilbert complains because the show made -fun of radical peasants (students) obessed with -“chairman” vs. “chairper- son”. Perhaps she didn’t notice that the show was just as merciless to, among other groups, faculty members (National Re- search Conspiracy grants), the government (Bill Davis and the-Big Blue Chariot) and the security department (“riding shotgun on tow-trucks”). And as for the *plot of FASS being a “myth’‘-well, what else did you expect? That’s what FASS is there for.

Chris Redmond Gazette, Editor

-No reply ’ When I read the “Revolt” letter last

week, concerning Fass, I thought I had to reply to its author who was so obviously lacking in a sense of humour. But then I began to think, why should I bother?

That letter is so,ridiculous that it doesn’t deserve a reply. So here it isn’t!

The Grand Duke

As a member of the FASS company, I may be prejudiced, but I would like to reply to Ms. Gilbert. -

Most leading roles in FASS were male parts because more men show up for audi-

’ tions. Inaddition, many of the women pre= fer to sing in the chorus, rather than acting in a major role.

The dance in scene 8 was not designed to titillate the male members of the audience. As originally written, the wenches were to be three men dressed as women. However, when the dance was being choreographed,.

‘several women joined in and the-script was changed somewhat. If these people did not ask to be cast in the scene, neither I, nor several other members of the company were correctly informed.

As for the affair at Renison; it wasnot stated that the students lost. The line was, “After they fired those tenured courtiers, the peasants got nowhere.?’

At this writing, the students-have gotten nowhere. No action censuring Renison, or reinstating the professors will be taken before the end of the school term.

Dr. Pearson was well cast as the Duke of Renison and did an excellentjob. Nowhere does he state that he had destroyed all opposition: “ . . .In short, I eliminated any- body who disagreed with me. . .” (refer-

p ring to the firings).

After he notes that both the papers and the students opposed the actions and asks the senate to assist him in suppressing the incident, how can it follow that all opposition was destroyed?

I agree that it was unfortunate that the - show ended in the -way that it did. How-

ever, ideas for a different ending were not presented until Monday, February 3. It is rather late to change anything in a production during a dress rehearsal, so-we had to do the best we could with the material we had. . _

You seem to be most upset that life is treated in a light-hearted manner. “ . . .It was all in fun and we really didn’t mean to hurt anyb.ody.” (Dirty Andy, scene 19). Unfortunately, Aristophanes has re- peatedly refused to write for- us, and so FASS is the best we can do with our own, meager talents.

Why don’t you attend drama, or read, or study, since you obviously do not want what we can provide. /

‘RAA-

attacked As a student at Renison College, I have

come to the Arts Faculty meeting with relevant comments on the situation that has developed at Renison thus far. It has come .

already accepted at least two Reni%on students graduating this year.

May Isuggest that the views held by the RAA are not representative of the total Renison student body. They are especially not those which thold. Members of this Council were told at the last meeting of the Arts Faculty that the faculty hired to re- place those dismissed at Renison are somewhat lacking in their qualifications or credibility. It is my contention, as well as

‘Zhe contention of many other Renison students, that the academic quality of the Re- nison faculty has not decreased or even remained constant: it has increased mar- kedly .

Furthermore, I as well as everyone here realize that the procedures followed by the Renison administration were questionable, albeit effective. However we have been assured that positive steps are now being taken that will ensure the following of act cepted prpcedures in the future. Because of the procedures that were followed it is easy for everyone here to empathize with the individuals involved. At the same time though the full perspective of the extenuat- ing circumstances surrounding the dismis- sals must be realized. When one considers this one cannot sympathize‘with the individuals involved, as it evades the reality of the situation.

In conclusion, I have come here today not to name call or back stab, but to indicate to you, the Arts Faculty Council, that a full understanding of the situation ought to be attained before any informed judgement can be made concerning the destiny of the College’s academic programme, and more importantly its students. It is unfor-

to my at-tention, and as well to a group of others that this body assembled here today will eventually be passing judgement on Renison Colle-ge with only a partial understanding~of the situation. Certainly there is no more qualified group to judge the destiny of the College than those directly involved.

My concern in being here today is not to _ retrace the events that have occured at the College, but to attempt to bring the members of the Arts Faculty Council to an awareness that an alternate position to that of the RAA does exist, which has in the past remained silent or has been biasedly represented.

Perhaps it would be best at this point to relate why we have remained silent. It has been our contention in the past that this matter is a concern which should not reflect in any way on our personal academic credibility. We therefore find it incredible that the Arts Faculty Council sits in pater- nal judgement with power which overrides that of the students of Renison concerning the destiny of the College. Not only this, you are tampering with my own personal future, a privilege that I am not about to relinquish to cyou. The repercussion of statements already made by this body have already been felt as far away as Ottawa, as evidenced by the memo receive&by Reni- son from Carleton University. It is incredible that a graduate school four hundred miles away has made such a misinformed judgement, while another graduate school of higher status just three blocks away has

tunate, and extremely selfish, that the Col- lege and its students have carried tke weight of the results of the actions of three people who fully realized these impli’ca- tions.

I earnestly ask you, the members of the Arts Faculty, consider the feelings not only of those who were dismissed, but those of concerned and serious students regarding the-future of Renison College.

R.C., D.G., B.M., B.D.S.

petty d It is with utter disgust and great remorse

that we write this letter. We quit! It is futile to attempt to make people aware of what is really happening at Renison College. No one is willing to come down off the band- wagon to listen.

We have been beseiged in the last few months by cries for “Academic Freedom” and“ ‘freedom now” and “agree to binding arbitration’? etc. etc. . . . .This ,k Bullshit! The RAA no more fights for academic freedom than Nixon fought for peace in Viet Nam, yet many people are sucked in to beheving them. Their hypocrisy, self- _ centredness, mud-slinging-fact-twisting- misrepresentative naivete is to be de- plored.

Academic freedom is being used-by certain individualsas an excuse for selfish revenge. These people do not care if the Col- lege and its academic programme are scrapped. After all, they have nothing to lose either way. Where the hell is academic freedom when a student cannot voice _ his/her concerns without. being laughed at,

jeered, ridiculed and put down by fellow students and faculty who profess to cherish “academic freedom” and to defend it “to the end.” These people probably will defend whatever the hell it is they are defending till the end: the end of Renison College.

-Academic freedom has been perverted by the RAA’into petty displays of immaturity and irrationality. They representa minor- ity of shit-disturbers and “radicals looking for a cause”. Wesay piss on their claims to representation and on their demands. They are not seeking truth but attention.

One must ask oneself whether the ques- ‘tion is one of academic freedom or one of

job security. Are professors so victimized and defenseless that they must have a special set of rules and regulations protecting them over and above the law? Are they so embedded in the “Ivory Tower” culture that they can’t face the reality of being fired? One questions the credibility of those who would seek ,out and embed themselves in an intellectual world un- touched by reality; those who- would hide- in the halls of academia behind an intellectual guise, safe within the illusion of academic freedom.

I thank the RAA and many of its suppor- ters for the insight they have given me. Only within academic circles can such crap be tolerated (by those who are supposedly the importers of the great knowledge we need to survive and be happy “out there”). I suggest that we have been misled by those who are smooth talkers; those who do not hesitate to employ any and all tactics aimed

- at inciting students irrationally for their own personal idealistic gains, and not for the student’s gain. It could only happen on a campus. “Out there” it would probably be resolved by a kick in the crotch. At least that has a tangible and lasting quality to it. It also cures your problem of “binding ar- - bitration” better than Ex-lax.

No doubt we will again be put down and ridiculed by the RAA for this expression of opinion. We don’t really care.

Solo Drum Dance on China Night. I wrote the introduction for the’Dance in English but the one who translated it into the ’ Chinese Version distorted what I wrote.

I didn’t mention the girl was full‘of anger and hate and 9 didn’t mention the word feudalism.

sert autocracy over the majority of ordi- nary people.

Their motto is to liberate people, actually they try every way to manipulate people and suppress intellectual free thinking.

When I danced, I was full of love for people, with the desire to contribute something to the society. Actually I shouldn’t dance because there’s a big swollen bruise on my leg but the girls to whom I thought - dance couldri’t dance for the same reason.

Saturday Nite ’ The Waterloo Warriors finished

their regular season last weekend with a perfect 12-O record. Unlike other years, the opposition in their division was little competition for the/ powerful Waterloo club. They walked off with first place honours for the fourth year in a row. In their domination oft he league they aver- aged 93 points per game compared to the opposing teams who aver- aged 67 points per game.

The Warriors played three games in the past week and won I them all by a margin of 37 points or more. Last Wednesday they travelled to Brojk University for their final away game of the year. They

-- were late in arriving when their bus broke ‘down on the 101 and as. a- rmult had a short warm-up. This had no effect on their play however in recording a 105-68 win. The trio of \Trevor Briggs, Ar;t White, and> Bill Robinson showed PO mercy against the inferior Badgers as they shot 21 for 27 from the field in the first half and combined for 12 points to fire the Warriors into a 59-3 1 half-time ‘lead. The second half was no different. The team as a unit shot 68%. Art White in his best

’

the comedy began. The Mustangs could not find their shooting range at the beginning of the second half and they watched Waterloo open up a 71-30 lead. It was not until past the 9 minute mark that the Mus- tangs scored their first basket of the second half. The Mustangs in their frustration took many bad shots and this brought mocking laughter from the partisan Warrior crowd. When they finally d’id score sarcas- tic cheers filled /the gymnasium. Trevor- Briggs was again high scorer with 23 points. Phil Schlote showing marked improvement throughout the year chipped in with 16. Schlote made the switch from guard to forward this year and has

‘adapted well to this new position. The Warriors- again displayed free throw consistency pumping in 1’1 for 15 from the charity stripe. ’

The play-offs begin iri’ the

offensive game of the year scored 32 points while shooting 70% from the field. Bill Robinson contributed 25 points and Trevor Briggs added

- 20. Briggs shot 8 for 10 in accumulating his total. Ken Murray led the Brock club with II points. Charlie Chambers suffered a charley horse in the game and he sat out the two weeke’nd games against Wilfrid Laurier and Western. He will be back in tip-top shape for the

. upcoming play-offs..

G.U.A.A. this weekend. After playing such easy opposition the Warriors will have to prepare

~them~elyes for their drive to another 0.UA.A. championship. Waterloo plays the McMaster Marauders this Saturday beginning at 815 p.m. Winner of this game will go on to’play the winner of the Windsor-Guelph game.

Upcoming in the two weeks are the C.I.A.U. (Canadian Intercol- legiate Athletic Union) championships being held at Waterloo. The eight top teams across the country will be competing for the national championship. Series tickets and individual-tickets are now available in the P.A.C. (Physical Activities Complex) for this tournament and for play-off games. ’ The Warriors played back to

’ back ,home games against Wilfrid Laurier and ‘Western Ontario on Friday and Saturday. Based on previous performances both these games figured to be one-sided and

, they certainly proved true to pre- ‘diction.

On Friday Waterloo turned back Wilfrid Laurier 111-72. This game was decided in the opening minutes as Waterloo shot into a 23-12 lead. The contest was almost completely offensive-minded as both teams were lacking a little on ,defense. If not for the work of Neil Hegeman of Wilfrid Laurier the score could have been worse. Hegeman total- led 28 points with 20 of them corn-, ing in the first half as ‘he played a fine game in defeat. Joe Macrito contributed 17 points but the rest of the Golden Hawks provided little

. support. ‘Trevor Briggs and Bill Robinson led the Warriors with 25 and 21 points respectively. Don Larman, filling in for the injured Charlie Chambers sank 15 points. The Warriors also sank 22 of 25 free, throw attempts,.

On Saturday night it was West- ern Ontario’s turn to be humiliated. Again the Warriors broke into a \ commanding lead of 18-6 after five minutes of play. A quiet crowd an- ticip,ated a Warrior slaughter and just sat back and enjoyed the enter- tainment. At times the entertain- ment even was presented in a com-

* ical fashion. The Warriors controlled the boards almost at will and often took 3 or 4 shots before West- ern could gain possession. Water- loo held a 49-30 half time lead when

Benefit Game ,

The Mike Moser benefit game was played at the P.A.C. on Tues- day night. The Waterloo Junior Varsity Spar-tans entertained the Sheridan Bruins in the preliminary game and d,efeated the Bruins by a 73-55 score.

The feature game was between the Mercy College Crusaders from Detroit and the Waterloo Warriors. Mercy College was certainly im- pressive in their warm-up but Waterloo proved superior during the contest ,and defeated them 80-57. The Crusaders came out on the court and displayed some fancy “dunking” style much to the de- light of the Waterloo fans. Both teams were slow getting started in the game and the score was only 5-3 in favour of Waterloo after five min; utes of play. The fans ke”pt up their rhythmic clapping ovation for four minutes before Waterloo scored their first field goal. The score was 15’7 for Waterloo when Charlie Chambers was greeted on the court with a rousing welcome. Chambers missed the last two home games because of a charley horse and his return was appreciated. The Warriors played a steady game in the -first half and committed only 4 turnovers compared to 12 for the..Crusaders. This coupled with their 41% shooting average boosted them into a 42-23 half time lead.

The Crusaders were able to keep up with the Warriors in the second

Athena ’ Curling ’

The bid by the Athenas to defend their OWIAA- Championship fell short in London last weekend. (The opening round of games saw Pat

,Munroe’s rink defeat the McGill rink 9-3 and then down the Guelph rink 6-4. These 2 wins assured the ’ Waterloo gals of a berth in the single knock-out Saturday competition.

The Athenas drew Guelph in the 9 o’clock draw and had the most competitive game of the bonspiel. At the end of 10 ends of play the _ score was 5-5: The teams went into an extra end with Waterloo having last rock. The Guelph rink started to attempt to steal while the Water-- 10a gals ran them out of rocks. The final score was 6-5 Waterloo. This win advanced the Athenas to the finals against Queens.

After having played a tremend- ous game against the Guelph rink,

ithe girls had difficulty with Queen’s. Curling a mere 50 percent and the Queen’s girls not missing, the Athenas dropped the championship round 10-5. ,

The financial crisis facing post- secondary institutions in Ontario can be reduced to the specific problem of revenue and expenditure: who pays and who benefits from the private (students’ tuition) and public (government grants) outlay for’ education in this sector of Ontario. Is it the students alone who receive all the benefits fi-om increased acade+ic and technical education (in the forni<f increased wages and salaries), or does the corporate and commercial sector of the economy share in the educational spillover (in the form of increased corporate profits?) .

The preliminary work undertaken in this study, indicates that the corporate sector of the economy receives the benefits of the expansion of the post-secondary educational syStem. ’

While the entire economy underwent expansion in the 20 year time span of our study, the zjncreases were not even in all sectors. Gross ,natioiial product/gross na-

increasing 3.2 percent absolutely have only increased6.4 percent relative to their distributive share. While profits, investment and dividend income increased 5.4 perwnt absolutely, th’eir relative share increased dramatically tb 37.5 percent. Corporate profits alone increased 3 percent absolutely and 28.3 percent relative to their distributive share. 5

There has been much confusion about whether our economic expansion has been real or inflationary ,-and if it has been inflationary who has been causing the infla- tion.

Corporate taxes as a -percentage of be- -- fore tax profits have declined from 45.3 percent (1954). to $3;4 percent (1973).

We have beers speaking’generally with respect to the relationship betwe& graduates of the post-secondary -zduca- tional sector and the private sector of- the

* economy. Specific details _ should clarify the point: Who really benefits from posf- secondary?

Chart no. 3 indicates that while wages have risen in the commercial sector 64.7 index points from 1962 to 1974, profits have risen by 111.7 index points. The manufac- turing sector exhibits similar results. Wages have risen 43.2 index points while profits have risen 90.0 index points.

Employment statistics for 1970 and 1972, the latest available, give a fair indication of who employs graduates from the post- _

-secondary educational system. The employment pattern seems to be fairly consistent over several years:

For the same period the real domeitic product rqse by 108 index points to 208.0 as !of September 1974. The consumer price ‘index has risen by 72.2 index points and stands at 172.2 as of September. Clearly, laboui- has been increasing the level of productivity, but its share of the product in the form &f wages lags behind the real price rise and level of growth in the increased productivity. Only corporate profits have increased their share of the expanded productivity.

Of all graduates from colleges of applied arts and technology (CAAT’S) 59.7 percent were employed by corporations and other big businesses. Of university- graduates, 53 percent were also absorbed by the commercial ,,,manufattring and corporate sector.

Financial institutions absorbed more than 20 percent of all graduates.

Public utilities, and .transport and communications industries accounted for 20.5. . percent of the CAAT graduates and 12.8 percent of the university graduates emp- _ loyed.

Education and profit - . -.._

If, by assumption, an expanding economy requires an expanded skilled technical, administrative, professional and managerial labour force, then the ,educa- tianal sector becomes keyed to the tempo of economic growth. /

Chart no. 7 demonstrates that,the corporate, sector’s profit rise is directly corre- lated to the growth in the number of graduates from -post secondary institutions. Profits in this period of our-study

This sector, ’ while not -included under corporations and big business, includes such corporate mammoths as Bell Canada, and the Canadian Pacific (CP) group. Bell is sometimes rriistakenly considered a public service monopoly, and CP is subsidized, for its losses, though both are profit oriented companies. Though the exact employment -figures for such companies are hard to extricate, they account for between 50 and 60 percent of the public utilities and

_j transport and communications sector. rose by 269 percent and graduates rose

the bbvious connection that, as the real level of productivity has risen it has been in, large part as a result of the increased level of educational training of the/labour force.

If the corporate sector benefits directly from education (and their profits indicate that they do) then the obvious question to ask is are -they paying their share of the educational costs in corporate taxation?

Corporate taxes _ Corporate taxes have not risen as fast as

thei‘r profit levels. For the period of our stlidy (1954-1973) profits rose 418.2 percent while corporate t-axes only rose 163.6 percent. Wages and salaries rose 391.5 -percent as compared to 688.9 percent increase for personal -in&me taxes. Clearly the revenue raised from persohal income taxes bear the brunt of educational expen-

r

ditures in Canada, not corporate ‘profit ’ taxes.

It is a’well established fact that the condition of employment with a profit-oriented company1 is that the cost of an employee (wages and salaries) is less than his/her productivity. The company wants to ‘make a profit. * /

When graduates are employed in the p_ri- vate sector, it is very much more to the benefit of the employer than the employee.

The graduate’s education is much more % beneficial to the company than it is to

himjher. If this wasn’t so, there would be no campus recruiters. Therefore, it is natural to expect th,e com@nies to pay for this education. L /

Under the present tax system, the individual bears the burden for paying educational costs. It is imperative that this burden be shifted to those that benefit by it.

Since‘ 1966, 50 percent of all students enrolled in post-secondary institutions in Ontario have incurred personal debt

’ through the Canada Student Loan (CSL) plan to,meet their-educational expenses.

It would be naive to believe that the student is the main beneficiary under CSL. In 1972-73 the federal government paid out approximately $3 million in interest payments 0n’CSL for that year alone. Interest payments on loans for previous years are

difficult to compare, since. in some cases students have begun ‘payments them-

* selves. The financial institutions take absolutely

no risk under the CSL programme. The government underwrites the programme and pays any collection fees incurred.

While the student obtains an interest- free loan for a few years, s/he will take up

‘payments once s/he has left the educational system. Interest payments account for more than half of the total payment made. For example, a. student with a total con- solidated loan of only $1040 will make minimum payments of $15, a month. Of this, $8 a month is the interest payment. The other $7 goes towariis reducing the principal sum. It will take 12 years to pay the total amount of the loan.

The student both subsidizes the corporate fmancial sector by incurring student loans, and his/her tuition subsidizes the increased technical productivity. Moreover, the disproportionate levels of personal in- . come tax paid to general government re- 1 venue on the part of wage and salary ear- ners is being used to finance the higher levels of productivityjcorporate profit levels. . ,, . - .-

In case any of you are wondering why welt-e running smaller papers lately, it’s only because we can’t get enough ads to pay for production costs of each edition. The reasons for this shortfall in revenue vary, the most prosaic being the effects of deepening recession on the publicity

- budgets of the Kitchener-Waterloo,merchant strata. So don’t be dismayed at having to read smaller chevrons than usual, rather think “positive”: you have less to tax your imaginations with. Production, this week: michael gordon who’ll be assuming greater responsibilities in the near future, randy hannigan who’s trying to keep his personal life together, neil docherty who succeeded in making a al-line “Renison” story into a 634iner, terry harding who’s finding it hard to rake in vital ad monies, stan gruszka who laid out two sports pages, helen witruk who’s off to Kingston to cover the Athena V-Ballers, brian amos whose story didn’t get in due to a contracted newshole, john morris who has seen the end of the tunnel, diane ritza who was “so” overworked thiq week, and lest but not least the patient dumont ducks.
