Salary negotiations I

Faculty fails for I 7.2 percent raise Although allowed to criticize

procedures for the setting of fac- ulty salaries at the university board of governors meeting may 4, the faculty association has fail- ed in its bid to obtain an 11.2 per- cent faculty pay riase.

Y=-.

---

The board of governors has in- stead accepted administration president Burt Matthews march proposal that faculty salaries in- crease only eight percent. Part of the difference between the fac- ulty’s request and the board’s fin- al offer arose from what the fac- ulty association claimed was its lack of access to the university’s budgetary information - even though in its salary negotiations, the faculty association has pro- ceeded on the assumption that by june 30 the university’s surplus account was to be over 2 million dollars. The association said the difference between 8 and 11.2 percent is less than one per- cent of the university’s operating

has apparently ignored the as- sociation’s charge of collusion among Ontario university presi- dents in setting this year’s fac- ulty pay raise at about eight per- cent. It is estimated that seven of twelve Ontario universities have frozen increases at the eight percent level. The board has offered 3.8* percent across-the- board and 4.2 “merit” increases, though last year’s agreed merit formula has unilaterally been abandoned by Matthews.

The faculty association has contended constraints were put on its salary committee by set- tlements reached at other uni- versities with weaker salary committees. The association’s committee felt salaries and working conditions should be set- tled here and not tied to settle- ments arranged elsewhere.

From the point of view of the faculty as expressed in the facul- ty association newsletter it is difficult to determine the reasons

for the board of governors’ ac- tion on may 4-either money is tight within the university or the board is responding to minister of university affairs John White’s statement that the universities will have to tighten their bud- gets.

Two motions put to the university senate at its may 20 meeting may have important consequences for university of Waterloo students.

The motions-which arise from the senate execu- tive-reaffirm the senate’s right of academic sanctions against any student who refuses to pay his non-tuition fees, but also requests the board of governors to ask the federation of students to hold a referendum on student wishes for an activity fee.

The effect of the first motion, if passed, would be to continue recognizing the compulsory nature of the university activity fee collected and paid to the federation by the board of governors. 1

Other non-tuition fees affected by this motion and which could be refused by students if the mo- tion fails include parking control and library fines, athletic fees, residence fees and any “other fee not specifically for tuition.

Federation vice-president Carl Sulliman said he is confident the first motion will be passed over- whelmingly.

“A negative vote would have staggering rami- fications in the non-tuition areas of student ser- vices,” he said, “and could lead to a collapse of all rules. ”

Sulliman said that while it was proper for the sen- ate to affirm the just nature of a compulsory activi- ty fee, he expressed deep concern over senate’s involvement in an area traditionally exclusive to the federation and the board of governors.

Sulliman charged the motion requesting the board

to ask the federation for a referendum concern- ing the fee constituted tampering in the federa- tion’s-internal affairs.

The senate move follows action of several dozen graduating engineering students who’ have with- held their activity fee payment. Whether or not they are forced to pay the fee in order to get their degrees may depend on the senate’s action may 20.

Administration president Burt Matthews has stated “the university has agreed to collect student fees, and if a group of students disagrees with the operation of that policy there are ways within the student organization to express their opinion.”

In all, the senate meeting will deal with 15 ex- ecutive recommendations, approval of convoca- tion degrees and will move into confidential ses- sion for a matter not revealed.

Fine system condemned

In-a letter sent to Paul Wiens, secretary of the library commit- tee, Carl Sulliman, vice-presi- dent of the student federation, condemned “the present system of borrowing rights and respon- sibilities of the library.”

and by appeals to the faculty li-

Present procedures for enforc- ing loan regulations for faculty and students are :

“Faculty: In the case of faculty a reminder requesting that ma- terial be returned to the library at the end of’ the term is sent one month before the term ends. At the end of the term, a notice is sent from the library informing the fa- culty ,member of materials due. This is followed if necessary, by a second notice, and a phone call. If materials are not returned at this point, the library contacts the faculty library representative, or, in some cases, the department chairman who is asked to exert pressure to have material return- ed. r Finally, the offending faculty member is sent an invoice cover- ing the replacement cost of ma- terials borrowed.

Where materials held by the faculty for over two weeks are re- quested by another borrower, the library immediately sends a no- tice requesting the return of the material. If necessary, the re- quest is followed up by phone calls to the faculty member concerned

brary - representative to see that the requested materials are re- turned.

When it is known the faculty member is to be away from the campus for an extended period of time, the library attempts to re- cover the material before he lea- ves, or, failing that, requests the departmental secretary to return the books to the library.

Students: To recover overdue materials from students the li- brary sends out a first notice noti- fying the student of overdue, ma- terials and of the amount owing in fines. If necessary, a second no- tice followed by a warning letter is sent. If the material is not re- turned, the student is billed for the replacement value of the borrowed materials. Failing a res- ponse at this point, the student’s borrowing- Iprivileges are with- held.

As a final sanction, the univer- sity can withhold transcripts of marks until fines owing are paid.

Where the student returns over- due materials, but does not pay fines, borrowing privileges are withdrawn when the accumulated fines exceed ten dollars. ”

Apparently the library does not have a policy of withdrawing bor- rowing privileges from delinquet faculty.

Housing debuted Low cost housing projects as a

/ I solution to the growing crisis of housing for the poor was the ,pri- mary topic of the housing forum held on campus Wednesday night. The forum was sponsored by the Canadian housing design council who had invited as speakers archi- tect Geoffrey Massey from Van- couver, Peter Barnard from Tor- onto and Albert Rose, director of the school of social work at U of T.

Massey’s firm, Erickson/Mass- ey designed the Canadian pavilion at .expo ‘70 Osaka, and have pre- viously won awards for other large projects. He talked of the environ- mental problems involved when massive housing projects are plan- ned. Valuable farm land is eaten up and the disease of urbanity spreads. The main drawback of lowcost housing lies within the in- stitutionalization of such projects. He feels that this should be elimin- ated by providing space within pri- vate projects with rents geared to income, subsidized by govern- ment agencies.

Massey noted that costly land is now in use for transportation cor- ridors. In medieval Europe, brid- ges served as the foundation for houses and shops. This idea in re- verse was rejuvenated by his firm.

- They developed a design by which bridges and overhead expressways could also provide badly needed housing by inserting units into the foundation. Massey concluded that there is a great need for further research in design innovation in

\ housing. Barnard is an engineer who has

gone on to research in urban de- sign. He gave a well organized, precise talk on the technological aspect ‘of urban renewal. He said that technology is both the servant and master of social and design in- novation. The objectives of tech- nology should be to lower cost, improve total performance, in- crease construction speed, and improve environment. He discus- sed the different possible systems of construction and concluded that in the future the best solution would be to combine conventional methods of construction with the use of ready-made compon- ents. i

He also stressed the importance of rehabilitation of existing build- ings versus new construction.

Rose, a’ sociologist, “brought up the concept of social innovation that implies new approaches which will improve living stand- ards.

Good housing in terms of ade- quecy can be provided easily to everyone. But as adequacy is pro- vided expectations. rise and the poor are no longer passive reci- pients.

Rose advocates participatory tenants’ associations in all hous- ing projects. The poor need the opportunity to assume some form of responsibility in order to pull

\ them from the apathy that is prev- alent in slum areas. In reference

*to actual construction Rose said that the cities were badly planned in the first place and public hous- ing is not the answer to the prob- lem.

Library inequality I *continued from page 2

The library committee set up a , subcommittee to look into the

matter.

forcing loan periods were turned down.

The two major areas of conten- tion are the length of loan periods

,, and sanctions for enforcing loan periods.

Garnisheeing wages of offend- ing faculty members would require a court order in each case.

Publishing names of offenders in the chevron and gazette could cause a lawsuit.

John ,Battye, student rep on the library committee, suggested a uniform loan period of two weeks for books and two days for period- icals for all categories of library users. He feels there is “no reason why one category of users should have its access to library mater- ials limited by the more extensive borrowing privileges enjoyed by another category of users. , Heather Webster, as member of

the student council, had discussed student problems with many stu- dents who had expressed a recur- ring concern over the difficulties and delays experienced in obtain- ing library material which had to be recalled from faculty members. Filling out a request form seems to be a futile exercise. She noted that faculty now feel they can keep a book for a whole term with no real obligation to return it when requested.

A security deposit by users was rejected some years ago by the business office because of the bookkeeping involved.

Personal contact by library staff usually has little effect.

In the case of’ faculty, an appeal to some authority in the depart- ment might embarrass the mem- ber into returning materials. .

In a statement distributed to members, Watson proposed, “that the fine system be extended to apply to- all categories of borrow- ersand that non-payment of fines would result in cancellation of library priviledges. This would call for the support of the presi- dent, vice-president, academic and the deans.”

Bill Watson, chief librarian, does not believe that a uni’form loan regulation would properly serve the varying needs of the dif- ferent categories of library users.

J.G. Smith, science faculty rep, i’ feels that a two week loan period

would inhibit faculty in their work at the university.

A suggestion that with ma- terials subject to recall after two weeks, a two week loan period had in effect been established, was countered with a re-emphasizing of the delays experienced by stu- dents requesting such materials.

Although no agreement could be reached on the length of loan per- iods for books, the subcommittee agreed on a uniform loan period of 48 hours for all periodicals.’

Since no agreement could be reached they p”assed a motion that books must be physically returned to the library for renewal at the end ‘of four months.

A motion to accept in principal the sanction of fines to all cate- gories of users was deferred until more information could be obtain- ed from the university of Guelph and Simon Fraser concerning their loan systems.

All suggestions raised for en- Students borrowing books face loans inequality.

“The Last of the Red Hot Lov- . em”, starring Jack Weston, Rose- mary Prinz, Ginger Flick and Marg Redmond is playing at the

_ Royal Alexandra Theater until may 22. The author has incorporat- ed all the trappings of a typical situation comedy ; it , has the cliches, the predictable punch lin- es and I a threadbare- plot. Neil Simon, author of such farces as “The Odd’ Couple,” “Barefoot in the Park,” and “Promises Prom- ises” has contrived_,to depict the equivocated sexual- mores of mid- dle-class society.

Barney Cashman (Jack Weston) a’sea food restaurant owner of mundane existence- “Life’s not. only been very unkind to me, it go- es-out of its way to ignore me”- involveshimself in three attempts at extra-marital affairs, all in his mother’s apartment. Elaine Navazio (Ro2emary Prinz), an

, attractive and seemingly promis- cuous woman whom Barney pro- positioned in his restaurant, is the first of -the three. Her directness embrasses Barney, whose fantas- ies had anticipated a coy woman, who in all decency would, in an aG tempt to protect her virtue, pro- test, only to become so over:, whelmed by his masculine charm

- that she would finally succumb to his passion. However, Elaine comes to get laid, not to indulge Barney’s fantasies. A&- -

Barney’s second encounter is with an aspiring young actress, Bobbi Michele. Bobbi, played by Ginger Flick, derives great pleas- ure from vividly describing her misadventures with men who have attempted to seduce her, and her continuous verbal flow allows Barney no opportunity to launch into his anticipated seduction.

Simon has thrown in a number of serious comments; quite out of keeping with situational comedy,

-but these were quickly followed with comic relief. Whenever an opportunity for genuine audience involvement might have arisen, it’ was immediately dispelled by slap-stick humour.

Jeanette Fisher (Marg- Red- mond), his wife’s best friend,. is the ‘chosen victim for Barney’s

The play was directed by Rob- ert Moore and produced under the auspices of Saint-Subber ’

With its weak opening, predic- table ending and mediocre content I which elicited only nervous laugh- i ter, thisplay lacked the guts to evoke any new insights or to make any substantial comment on the 1 comedy of contemporary life.

last attempt. She regrets having come, keeps her distance, and pro- . ceeds to expound at great length on the’wickedness of Barney’s in-

tentions. Her life is geared to pre- paring for her suicide, which we learn ij prompted by the-fact that her husband is having an affair with another woman; and so in his last effort Barney remains un- successful.

The opening of the play was - weak, with Barney walking ner-

-vously around in his mother’s ap- artment. It was somewhat remin- iscent of the TV series “Love Am- j erican Style”, -and the audience responded accordingly with can- ned laughter. B -r

The acting was good though, particularly that of Jack Weston. Weston, a veteran of the screen, has starred in “The Thomas Crown Affair” and “Wait Until Dark”-, among others. In his par- trayai of Barney- Cashman as a stereotype of a middle-class Jew- ish/fish restaurant owner in New York, he is’credible. The charac- ter detail is accurate, bringing out all the ideosyncracies one might expect, including the perfuming of his hands to take away the fish- smell.

Most people are familiar -with Jules Fieffer the cartoonist, who satirizes hypocracy in contempor- ary society. In ‘Little Murders” he turns to movies as a vehicle for his satire.

The format of the movies is es- sentially the same as his cartoons. In fact, what is presented on the screen is a group of loosely con- nected skits which strongly res- emble a series of Fieffer cartoons.

Some scenes stand out more emphatically than others. For ex- a-mple the marriage scene in which Elliot Gould as Alfred marries Marcia Rodd as Patsy with Don- ald Sutherland as the. first eris- -

tential minister, Here was a fast moving, exceptionally funny, and hard hitting scene.

The last scene of the movie is also a scene with deep and meaningful insight, however the humor is somewhat black.

But also most of the other scen- es are overly long and tend to drag at times. The points he tries to make are ‘often drawn--out, beaten to death, and then stretched a lit- tle more. There are those who claim that this drawing out of var- ious points was a purposeful-dra- matic technique. I, however, a- gree with Shakespeare when -he , wrote “brevity is.the soul of wit”.

Canada ctinsus

‘Count by Barry Brown chevron staff

J

On june 1, Canada’s eleventh census will be taken, an undertak- ing that will cost about 35 million dollars this year. In Canada/ the census is taken on the “de jure” principle, whereby each person is counted as belonging to his usual place of residence. For many uni- versity students this means they will be counted as living with their parents because they are not main- taining a residence elsewhere. Other students now at school can be counted as living with their parents if they think of their par- ents’ residence as their perman- ent home.

The BNA act made mandatory the taking of the census in 1871 and “In every tenth year there- after”. The basic constitutional reason for the census \in Canada is to determine representation in the federal house of commons. Af- ter each census the seats are divided among the provinces on a basis proportionate to popula- tion. The census also gives a sta- tistical indication of where can: adians stand socially and econ- omically. At the same time, there is an agricultural census and a merchandising census.

This year the census question- aires -will be filled out by the people themselves. The questions will be left at each household to be filled out, and then mailed back. By allowing people more time to fill out the questionnaires, it is hoped they, will be answered more accurately. In rural areas the census representatives will re- turn to pick up the questionnaires, as people engaged in agriculture may need additional help in com- ple ting their more detailed ques- tionnaires.

yourself hi This year two questionnaires

will be distributed. There will be a short questionnaire, which will be filled out byi two thirds of all heads of households. It contains six questions to be answered sep- arately for each individual in the household. There are nine addi- tional questions pertaining to the residence itself. The remaining third of households fill out long forms which consist of the fifteen basic questions plus about seventy additional questions on other as- pects of housing and on education and income.

Legally, Canadians are requir- ed to provide full and accurate in- formation. The reason for this is to assure the reliability of the statis- tics taken from the census. How- ever, refusal to provide informa- tion does not, it seems, usually lead to charges being laid. Rum- our has it that as a last resort the Dominion Bureau of Statistics will send out Pierre Trudeau to cajole reluctant citizens into providing the desired information.

There has been some protest that the questions being asked con- stitute an invasion of the individ- ual’s privacy. However, domin- ion bureau of statistics employ- ees, including the census repres- entatives, are the only people who will ever see the questionnaires. They are subject. to fines and jail sentences if they reveal any (of this confidential information. It is not available to any other gov- ernment department or agency, in- cluding the police or the courts for legal proceedings. The only ex- ception to this is where a resi- dent may ask for date-of-birth information that he provided about himself in a past census. This provides acceptable proof of age for people who desire old age pensions.

The statistics provided by the census are used by many groups of people, for many purposes. They will provide information used in the planning of schools and trans- portation routes, locating hospit- als and designing recreational facilities. Governments use them in establishing policies on health and welfare services, agriculture, urban renewal, and regional ec- onomic development. Frequently these statistics are used by re- searchers in areas <such as econ- omics and sociology. Students can learn about employment and in- dustrial trends and gain informa- tion needed for training.

This information is also used by business and industry. They can make decisions based on mar- keting statistics, business trends, and growth rates in particular ar: eas.- Census data is used by com- panies while planning advertising and sales efforts. Companies con- sidering building new plants in particular areas use census data to gain an indication of the char- acteristics of the people from which the company’s labour force will be drawn.

Because of the advance in com- puter technology since the last census, the information accumul-

L yr From Sweden, h-- 2

VER A TWO-YEAR PERIOD beginning in march 1968, a special senate committee on science policy, chair- ed by Maurice Lamontagne, held public meetings at which all government agencies concerned with science and over 250 groups from industry, universities and the professional scientific societies gave their views on Canadian science policy. The first volume of the commit- tee’s report was published last december and the second volume which will contain the actual recommendations is due to be released at any time. Unlike the report of the senate committee on the mass media, this report is the forerunner of major government legislation and policy changes.

Not only have its hearings stirred a great deal of dis- cussion in the scientific community on the subject of sci- ence policy but the federal cabinet is already drafting legislation. As a result of the report and impending gov- ernment action there are going to be major changes in Canadian science policy in the next few years, changes which will have an effect not only on the scientists them- selves but on the entire society.

One of the major by-products of the senate committee’s work has been the formation of a national organization called SCITED. The purpose of this group, which em- braces nearly all phases of science and technology (in- cluding engineering, medicine, basic sciences and social sciences) is to encourage scientists from all disciplines to work together with a broad outlook on questions of common concern to all scientists. As an example of this, there will be a major conference held in Ottawa soon af- ter the release of the second volume of the senate report. This will act as a formal vehicle for the scientific com- munity (including students) to make its response to the recommendations.

The report itself deals with two broad areas. One is the reorganization of the government’s science

policy machinery. The other is the recommending of a basis for formulating an overall science policy (i.e. a discussion of suggested targets and strategies).

The distinction between these two related but dissimil- ar aspects of the report is not always made and it can lead to a great deal of misunderstanding.

Anyone who has studied Canadian science policy will agree that a major administrative re-organization is necessary and the report makes this point very forcefully. The report is very careful to distinguish between overall science policy and individual policies:

“It must be emphasized again that the role of an overall sci- ence policy, like that of a macro-economic policy is not to re-. place specific policies but to support them with a basic frame- work, broad terms of reference and criteria to assess their efficient y. *’

The federal cabinet has already moved in this direction and following one of the reports major recommendations, it is establishing a new cabinet post for a minister of sci- ence (the first minister will be a Toronto businessman. A.W. Gillespie).

Although the formal recommendations will appear only in the second volume of the report, the major points of emphasis can be summarized as follows:

l a call for a minister of science (without a depart- ment) is made,

l a proposal for a recording of research prio made with emphasis on:

(1) engineering and technological developmen: than basic science,

(2) life sciences, especially the social sciences sical sciences,

(3) social and economic objectives vs curiosit] edresearch

l the need to develop a new approach to stiinr search and development (R&D) in industry is stre

l the need for more research in the social sci pointed out (although it carefully notes that th already too many students in the social science usefully employed. )

l it recommends that Canada’s R&D effor be doubled while holding the universities’ share cc

l it wants the results of R&D made more rel the people in our society (but note that this on11 doing the research in industrial labs as opposed to ment labs),

l the need for a better manpower inventory a trol is stressed,

l it recommends that the lab and granting as the NRC be separated,

l it suggests the-development of a high level i tion system for Canada,

l it recognizes the very tricky question on tea research at the university and then ignores the prc

Page 7: n01_Chevron

rshi As well as the major thrusts of the report given above,

it notes that the role of foreign ownership on the amount of R&D done in Canada is not as clear asmany people be- lieve: “All the available evidence shows that at least un- til recently, foreign-owned subsidiaries spent proportion- ately as much on R&D in Canada as similar Canadian companies ” (they quote Mel Watkins to this effect). However with this brief comment on foreign ownership, consideration of the effects of the Canadian-american relationship on Canadian science policy is virtually drop- Ped.

Throughout the report the committee frequently quo- tes the various views they had received on a given subject and then adopts the one which fits into their grand plan. One example is their claim that Dr. Steacie (president of NRC 195262) was betraying his trust by stating ‘A direct responsibility to produce the kind of graduate industry wants would be a degradation of the university to the level of a voca- tional school. “

This is a fairly widely held view and yet the report easily dis- misses it. The emphasizes another aspect which the report fails to ever consider; what effects will the report’s recom- mended changes have on the role of education at the univer- sity and what will the students’ reaction be? It is implicity assumed that the government and industry can change the university’s role to suit their purposes with little consultation with the faculty, much less the students!

It is content to point out past failures and suggest chan- ges with no overall aim in mind other than to allow our industry to do well in the “technology race”. That this is not the main role of science policy is stressed strongly in many places, For example the OECD report “Science economic growth and government policy points out “it appears that science and technology do not constitute a perfect mixture that will automatically make a big con- tribution to economic growth and social development” and “thus the formulation of a national science policy must take into account non-economic objective as well as economic ones; and the former may even sometimes take precedence. ” It is important to realize, that al- though the senate report may pay lip service to these ideals, it does not in fact -pay serious consideration to them in practice.

Since the report is so superficial it puts a great deal of emphasis on international comparisons (since if we follow the rest of the world we can blame the results on them). And even here it is content with the most shallow statistics which tend to fit into the report’s analysis in a simple way. This is an important point and since so much weight is attached to it in the report it is worthwhile to briefly discuss some of the figures they have used.

The report uses statistics to show two main conclu- sions :

Canada does far too little research and Her distribution of effort is wrong. In table 1, the figures in the first column which show

Canada far below the other major industrial countries in total R&D effort are from the senate report. However using the figures given by the OECD report on Canadian science policy (Paris, 1969) which explicitly distinguish between the social and economic purposes of R&D as opposed to military, space and atomic R&D the gains an entirely different picture of Canada’s position.

The OECD report points out that military research has no necessary or direct relationship to economic growth”. Even the senate report is confused on this issue since at one point it claims that there have been important spinoff benefits fro\m the huge american defence and space R&D programs. But in another place it points out “Instead of indirectly assisting an area of technology with spinoff, why not promote it directly by projects whose objective is to meet the real need?”

Other figures presented by R.W. Jackson of the science council are also very revealing in that they show that the simple comparisons made between the distribution of ef- fort in Canadian and american science can be very mis- leading. He has divided american companies into civilian oriented and military-space oriented components (very roughly), He notes- that there is a strong correlation be- tween the emphasis in research and the orientation of the_ industry (see table 2). These figures should not be used to infer any simple cause-effect relationships, but they do point out the weakness in comparing the total Canadian vs total american figures since Canada’s industry is al- most entirely civilian oriented.

These figures have been presented to demonstrate that both the major conclusions ,drawn from the statistics in the senate report are at best misleading and require a much deeper analysis than given so far.

The above criticisms are concerned with the errors introduced by a blind comparison of the Canadian vs american systems.

However this is begging the even more crucial ques- tion: do we want to emulate the Americans? The report does not even ask the question!

There have been a large number of writers recently who have placed much of the blame for the mess in american society on the relationship between science in- dustry and the government (J-K. Galbraith and H.L. Nieburg) and yet the report takes no account of this (even Fortune magazine this month has taken to defend- ing science from this attack! ).

We are fortunate in Caada that we can still avoid some of the problems the Americans have run into if we start worrying about them now. Unfortunately the senators did not adopt this approach. -

siv There is one all pervading bias in the report and that is

the pro-industry, anti-scientist bias of the committee (but what do you expect from a group of businessmen? ) Although the report tries to jump on the “lets make sci- ence relevant to society” bandwagon and refers to its proposals as revolutionary, it is actually a very establish- mentoriented document. The report is revolutionary ; however the proposed revolution is one in which the vest- ed interest in science is taken away from the scientists and given to the industrialists. The report is written in such a manner as to make the scientific community re- act strongly against the way science has been shown and thus divert attention from the real point of emphasis of the report which is to strengthen industry.

This strong pro-industry bias can best be seen by a comparison of the following two quotes refering to the same requests but from the industrialists and the scien- tists respectively: “Most briefs presented by industry* recommended stronger more comprehensive and less restrictive federal government incentives to stimulate innovation in industry. The Committee was struck by the fact that this suggestion also received broad support from the ‘wise men’, individuals and non-industrial asso- ciations. ”

Along the same lines, with reference to scientists: “They are asking at the same time for more public money and less public control. Society and government as a guardian of the public interest, obviously cannot accept a request that in too many cases would amount to a social security measure or job-creating program for scientists.”

Even as a scientist, I must agree with the ideas invol- ved in the second quote, but the same comments must apply to industry as well. This strong bias which perva- des the entire report has unfortunately greatly weakened the analysis given to some of the major problems.

The report has very clearly seen the need to redirect cana- dian science policy but it has emerged with no significant in- sight into how to make science relevant to the real needs of society.

It is clear that this repoFt will stimulate major changes in Canada in the next few years although the government will not be tied directly to the reports recommendations. It will be very easy to criticize the government five or ten years from now over its actions in the next short while, An informed and vocal response now (which is a much more difficult task) has the additional benefit of actually being capable of having some effect.

MARATHOMRS 1

Year after year (for the past seventy-five, anyway), Patriot’s Day celebrations in the city of Boston, Mass. have been hilited by the patter of blistered feet and the sight of wobbly legs sup-

, porting the grim, determined bodies of men struggling down the main street to end twenty six miles, three hundred and eighty- five yards of agony. This experi- ence has been shared by thou- sands, and is labelled, ‘the Bos- ton Marathon’.

I The marathon, historically, is a commemoration of the run by the legendary Greek, Pheidip- pides, who in the fifth century B.C. is reported to have run across the plains from Marathon to Athens. Upon his arrival, he

_announced the Greek triumph over Persia by shouting, “Re- joice, we ccrnquer.” He then died. As one marathoner has stated, ‘that provided one hell of a precedent’. ’

Two Waterloo competitors travelled to Boston to run the famous course. The extremes ih experience was represented by these two runners. Arthur Taylor, 44 years old from the personnel department was at- tempting his twelfth marathon. Peter Oliver, a 20 year old third

year jock was attempting to finish his first.

Both runners began the race somewhere in the middle of the throng, almost half a block be- hind the actual starting line. At the first checkpoint, Taylor was only fifty places b‘ehind the leader and Olver went through in seventy-fourth position.

Throughout the ensuing two - hours, both athletes, as did most others, fought off inevitable leg cramps and ignored rapidly form- ing blisters as they strode through the spectator-lined streets T-~0 hours thirty three minutes and thirty four seconds after the start, Arthur Taylor crossed the finish line in thirty-fifth position - good enough for a medal. Twen- ty minutes later, Olver finished the race placing 173rd. Taylor’s creditable posit~ion placed him fourth among the Canadians competing.

Completing the rigorous Bos- ton marathon course is an end in - itself, so with that experience behind ihem, both atletes are back on the roads pounding out mileage which may exceed. 25 miles on particular days.

With this as a background, both runners look with anticipation _ to Patriot’s day, 1972.

SUMMER FUN FOR FEMALES The women’s department is offering a variety of

activities for all the girls on campus this summer, including students, faculty and staff.

SLOW PITCH is expected to be the,number one event again this summer. This game was introduc- ed to the campus last year and proved to be very popular. It is an excellent recreational activity providing plenty of action, with no limit on num- ber of players, and requiring no great skill. It is similar to softball, except team-mates pitch to each other which provides plenty of hitting. Mitts will be supplied to all players, making a catch much simpler. There is plenty of running, so if it’s fun and exercise you are seeking this summer be sure to join. If interested, get a group together and enter a team or leave your name and be assigned to one.

RESTAURANT

FIELD HOCKEY is another activity offered. It will be strictly recreational with pick up games organized for those interested. It is hoped that rec- reational games against a group from Guelph will be possible. The organizational meeting will take place at 6: 55 pm on Tuesday in the locker room.

BASKETBALL looks like it may be a popular activity on Monday nights. This past Monday saw

- about thirty girls of varying ages and talents gather in the gym for pick up games. It was good fun and will be continued. If more formal teams are desir- ed this will be arranged. Starting times will be posted in the locker room. .

VOLLEYBALL will be organized also for any group interested. Watch notice boards for more information.

SQUASH INSTRUCTION for beginners through advanced is being offered on Wednesdays from 11:30 to 1 :OO pm. Interested individuals should appear ready to play at any time during those hours.

OTHER EVENTS Although there are a host of activities offered

this summer on campus, the games of softball, soc- cer, and touch football will probably remain -as the most popular. There are, however many other events which appear appealing to individuals seek- ing casual exercise. Fencing, sailing and archery are examples of this category. Underwater and orienteering will attract the more vigorous.

Whatever the choice, the organizers and par- ticipants of each group are very eager to initiate the unexperienced.

The suggestion to those who have been away from organized activity for what is considered ‘too long’, is affiliation with one of the seven athletic clubs on campus this summer. _ _

APPEAL FOR OFFICIALS Because of the large student participation on the

competitive level, the intramural department has found itself desperately short of officials. Anyone not wishing to actually play the game but harbour- ing some secret desire to be involved should con- tact Peter Hopkins at ext. 3532 forthwith. These posi- tions are financially remunerative (ie. profitable) and besides, officials are loaned those cool striped shirts.

Other numbers to call regarding intramural infor- mation are: Sally Kemp (women) 3533, Pat Sharp (secretary) 3531 or Mary (receptionist) at 2156.

feedck Ads for abortion referal condemned

There is an advertisement appearing in the chevron that needs to be brought to the atten- tion of student and non-student alike. This wonderful abortion agency .is willing to get a girl out of trouble for a fee. The fees in- volved come to &5 dollars plus of course your travelling expen- ses, anti-biotics, etc. Figure on 300 dollars anyway. Their price is 100 dollars more than the aver- age. The birth control center here at the university can often get them done for less even than the 150 dollars. Nor do we charge for our services.

It seems the chevron has to print these advertisements, being un- der some obligation to the news agency that distributes it. It cer- tainly isn’t done as a student ser- vice. I am sure many girls that will take advantage of this offer do not understand what is involv- ed. Many must go to New York city alone, have no place to stay when they get there. They may not even really want an abortion but are under pressure from family or boy friend. They re- ceive no help with arrangements nor counselling. Many don’t even understand that abortions are le- gal and free in Canada. At the moment they are not altogether easy to get here but we have had good success lately. No! your parents need not know !

This particular agency might even lend you the money, if you can provide collateral, and pay an unspecified interest. Since people have a right to read what they please the only thing that we can do is offer the university of Waterloo birth control center as an alternative to anyone student or not that needs help. It would however be really great if you would come before you get preg- nant! It would simplify matters greatly. Don’t hesitate however if you think you are, the longer you wait the more expensive it is -and the more dangerous is the operation. KEITH DEWAR

Chevron missed oui on a great story

The chevron missed out on- a really extraordinary human in- terest story the other day. The

100,000th person through the ‘left’ turnstile in the library re- ceived his prizes (the plastic toi- let, the football, the carrot suck- er and a free pass to the reserves)., but the chevron was not there for the picture . . . or the story. What the library was trying to demonstrate was that through in- fluence, people who would be more ‘right’ oriented can be persuaded to think ‘left’.

Initially, two weeks ago, the left turnstile (Lefty to his friends) had’ had 80,000 people pass through it and the right turnstile had 300,000. After a campaign the left turnstile increased pro- portionately over the right turn- stile. The library felt that it was a good time to make its cause known and to acknowledge this milestone when the 100,OOOth person went through. It felt the chevron would be interested in Lefty and the cause for the un- derpriviledged groups and mi- norities. . The chevron disap- points all once more.
