Paper discbssion meeting Monday. Immigrants are attracted to na-

tions like Canada because they see multinational corpbrations sapping their natural resources to guarantee a higher lifestyle to Western na- tions, Spai-ks said.

He said Canada has an “abun- dance of wealth”, enough to share around with the new surge in im- migration, since it has 7.5 per cent of the world’s land and only 0.6 wr cent of the population.

loan Robinson, a well known economist from Cambridge, England warned UW students that most of the orthodox economics taught in universities today is a “pure fairy tzile”. She added: “I’ve spent the last twenty years trying to figure out what these people are talking about. It has no relation whatsoever with a real world-economy.”

New amroach stresses exercise

HKLS studies heart patients If you’re a man with a bad heart

you should enrol in a UW program that studies the effects of exercise on men under 55 who have suffered a hm attack within the past year.

The program began in January with nine men. Another group will- start in September and a third next January.

The men must receive admission approval from their doctors. Then they will take a supervised stress test to determine individual capacities for exercise and a course of exercise will be developed for them.

Participants will exercise twice a week at the Kitchener auditorium under the guidance of students from the Faculty of Human Kine- tics and Leisure’Studies. They will also play volleyball, badminton, scoop-ball and will jog.

Jacqueline Wellwood, program co-ordinator; noted that: “In the past, a prescription of bed rest or inactivity was the common fate of heart attack victims. These people were destined to a quiet lifestyle. -\ _-j

“Today, this view is losing its popularity within the medical pro- fession. Recent research advances in the area of post-coronary re- habilitation indicate physical ac- tivity is beneficial to people suffer- ing from coronary heart disease. ”

Wellwood said ‘most 1 men are “scared after having a heart attack and they don’t know what to do”, so the program will attempt to show them that they can-lead an active life.

One of the greatest problems heart patients face is not knowing how much they can do safely, she

added. “The program provides the participants with a frame of refer- ence for their daily activities and they seem to develop new confi- dence . ’ ’

Though exercise is the main con- cern of the program, participants are also advised on weight loss, smoking, tension and work habits.

“The number of men needed for the study is unlimited as we’re al- ways looking for more ,” Wellwood said. Interested people can contact Wellwood at the university exten- sion 3156.

The program is intended to be a four-year study and ideally the par- ticipants will stay in it for the entire period.

A similar study began two years ago in London and has since spread to Toronto, Ottawa, Kingston, Windsor and Hamilton. It is fi- nanced by the provincial health ministry to the tune of $19,000 per year.

Economist speaks World renowned economist Joan

Robinson from Cambridge Univer- sity in England attacked the or- thodox economics taught in uni- versity as a collecti.on ofi “pure fairy tales”. %

Robinson charged that since the war, university economic teaching has bee? dominated “by a bastar- dized version of Keynes”. “These economists are not explaining how an economy works” she added.

T According _to Robinson a realis- tic economic problem is not the al- location of scar%e means as taught today, but the utilization- of societies’ resources.

“Todays ecohomists spend en- tire careers studying problems that do not exist in society”. She con- tinued to say that an economist must focus on the production of commodities, not the exchange of commodities. _

“These economists assume capi- tal is like putty that can be squeezed into any shape or form by a government”, Robinson charged.

Apparently many Keynsian fol- lowers are taking a starry-eyed view that unemployment can be solved by rational government in- vestment. Robinson added the pre- sent combination of inflation and recession destroys -the Keynsian myth that high unemployment will eliminate inflation.

The Cambridge economist at- tacked governments for mixing politics and economics. “Before an election political parties inflate an economy to win votes and im- mediately after they deflate the

economy at the demands of the captains of industry”, Robinson said.

“The captains of industry com- plain there is not enough discipline in factories and governments quickly respond by deflating the economy,” Robinson noted.

She warned that the British economy is “an awful mess” and the Canadian economy may soon follow suit. “The British govem- ment is totally manipulated by the labour unions in ,Britain”, Robin- son said. She added that wages were. rising faster than the technical progress per head and this just adds to the inflationary spiral.

“What, I want are truly left-wing trade unions” Robinson said. She felt they should be demanding other measures such as more worker’s control of .the factory plants, rather than the unreasona- ble wage demands.

An even greater danger for our society is slipping back to laissez-faire believing that business can run the country without gov- ernment intervention. Robinson believes wage and price controls are no answer either because the workers of the country would be carrying the burden of the reces- sion.

When asked if revolution was the answer of the day, Robinson dis’ag- reed. “People will not accept this as an answer because things are too good. Few would ptit up with the acute discomfort and the starvation that nations suffer during revolu- tions ,” Robinson contended.

Appalachin ballads and love songs were a favorite at Mariposa last weekend. Second from the left is Olga Dunning who sang a song about the death of her husband, a coal miner in West Virginia. He died from black lung disease due to the coal dust in the mines. Olga calls the song, “Why I hate the capitalists”.

To some people, particularly feminists, the relationship seemed obvious, if nebulous and difficult to verify. Others will probably remain incredulous until Time magazine finally acknowledges it. And then there will be people who don’t perceive the implications Of such a liaison and still more who will simply shrug it off.

A group of women tied in with the origins of the modern women’s liberation movement and con- cerned about its future, who call themselves Redstockings, have been able to piece together enough documentation to convincingly expose and describe the Ms Steinem/CIA connection. Moreover, the Redstockings have closely ex- amined the financial backing and contents of MS magazine and have arrived at the conclusion that the ideology put forth by Ms. has been positively harmful to the women’s movement.

In a sixteen page press release distributed on May 9 at the (MORE) Journalism Convention in New York City, the Redstockings identify themselves as -the initiators of such concepts as “consciousness- raising” and the “Miss America Protest,” during the 1960’s.

These were some of the first women to speak out publicly about their own abortions. Despite criticism from conventional quarters, they urged women to take control oNheir own bodies, to get to know them- selves and ignore the dictatorial status quo. The Redstockings also assert that they contributed, with relative anonymity, such slogans to the women’s

_ liberation movement as “Sisterhood is powerful” and “Ttie personal is political.” The coining of phrases like these launched the mass movement, in fact.

They are concerned because Ms. seems to be the voice of women’s liberation, when in reality it has become a substitution for the movement itself. The Redstocking women point to a typical CIA- intelligence technique they see operating here, the systematic creation and/or support for a “parallel” movement of organization which provides an alter- native to real radicalism. They attempt to show how this subtle, yet mamoth manipulation of women by clandestine elements of the corporate structure transpired.

The first revelations of Gloria Steinem’s relation- ship to the CIA appeared in the New York Times in 1967, in an article stating that Steinem had a part in launching a CIA front group which was called the Independent Research Service. Just prior to this exposure Ramparts magazine had disclosed that the organization was CIA funded. The purpose of the Independent Research Service seems to have been to subvert communist-minded youths, on an international basis.

The supposedly Independent Research Service was in fact totally dependent on the CIA. It is believed to have been formed in response to the Communist World Youth Fes$vals, occuring throughout the 1950’s and 1960’s. .

These festivals were held in Communist countries until 1959, when the festival for that year was scheduled to take place in Vienna, neutral territory during the Cold War. The State Department did its best to discourage American youths from attending. Some did go, though, and in the meantime, the CIA covertly arranged for the Independent Research Service to organize an anti-communist delegation to attend and disrupt the festivals.

In 1967, Ramparts exposed the intricate launder- ing and funnelling process by which the Independent Research Service obtained money from the CIA. The funds passed through five different foundations (the Borden Trust, the Price Fund, the Beacon Fund, the Edsel Fund and the Kentfield Fund) on its way to the Independent Research Service, as well as to the National Students’ Associ- ation and other groups.

The final channelling was accomplished through the well-known Boston law firm of Hale and Dorr. This same law firm produced Joseph Welch as attor- ney for the Army in its confrontation with Joseph McCarthy and more recently, James St. Clair as Nixon’s chief counsel during the Watergate scandal.

Mvsterv Book No &e claims to’know why Gloria Steinem was

chosen to “found” and direct this group, but two early organizers of the Independent Research Service stated in a New Republic article of May 11, 1959, that, “Most of the sponsors have had considerable experience in domestic and international youth and student affairs.” What in Steinem’s past prepared her for this sort of work?

It is a matter of public record that Gloria M.

Steinem graduated from Smith College and then received the Chester Bowles Asian Fellowshipto the Universities of New Dehli and Calcutta, India, in 1956-58. All the Redstockings could glean of her activities in India is the alleged publication of a book in 1957, called The Thousand Indias.

Although the recent edition of Who’s Who in America lists the title of the book, all attempts by Redstockings to find it in past or current listings of the Cumulative Book Index of the New York Public Library, Bboks in Print and the Library of Congress were unsuccessful. The very existence of Steinem’s book cannot be determined, let alone its contents or the identity of the publisher.

According to the recent Redstocking press re- lease, in a February21, 1967, interview in the New York Times, Steinem was described as a “full-time Independent Research Service employee in Cam- bridge, Mass., from 1959 until after the Helsinki Youth Festival in 1962.” Under media pressure, Steinem could not disavow her CIA association but she gave a distorted view of her activities at the festivals. Steinem claim-s all the group did at the two festivals was establish a newspaper, news bureau, cultural exhibits and jazz clubs.

The group’s most important work, she said, was convincing youths from &ia, Africa and Latin America that there were some Americans who un- derstood and cared about their situation. Steinem emphasized, “I was never asked to report on other Americans or assess foreign nationals I had met.”

The Redstockings charge that this statement is an alarming lie. In a “Report on the Vienna Youth Festival,” printed with Steinem’s name on it as Direc- tor of the Independent Research Service, there are 13 pages devoted exclusively to biographies, politi- cal affiliations and even some superficial analyses of persons from all countries participating in the festi- val.

Youths were monitored in much’the same way at the 1962 World Youth Festival in Helsinki. In addition to the news and cultural events put on by the Independent Research Service, the Helsinki Festi- val wa3 marked by four nights of “spontaneous” rioting against the festival, during which 40 people were arrested. It was reported by Newsweek,in Au- gust 1962, that “Pravda, of course, blamed the dis- turbances on well-financed CIA and FBI agents. . .”

SecreLJigent This is Gloria Steinem’s background from the late

1950’s and early 60’s. She functioned as a secret representative of the American government abroad. At least she was representing certain American in- terests and her activities in the Independent Re- search Service involved her inextricably with the US domestic political intelligence network. Another fact, exhumed by the Redstockings; is the group’s publi- cation of a pamphlet in 1959 called “A Review- of Negro Segregation in the United States.” Steinem’s name is listed on the inside cover, this time as Co- Director of the Independent Research Service.

The pamphlet focuses on the supposed advances made by Black people in the US. For example, “ . . . beyond the noisy clamor of those who would obstruct justice and fair play, no alert observer can be unaware of the concerted effort to rule our seg- regation from every aspect of American life.”

The reason some discrimination still does occur, according to the research group, is because, “it is also self-perpetuating, in that the rejected group, through continued deprivation, is hardened in the very short comings, real ocimaginary, that are given as the reasons for discrimination in the first place.”

In other words, the oppression of Blacks con- tinues, not because of White ruling class interests, but because Black people actually have become inferior. --

The Redstocking anal;is equates this denial of Black oppression with Ms. magazine’s rationaliza- tion to explain the prolonged subjugation of women. Both Blacks and women have supposedly become apathetic and deficient.

By 1967, the Independent Research Service was declared “largely inactive” by the New York Times. Steinem, however, was still a Director in September 1968 when Ramparts broke another story. This time they disclosed that the CIA had plans of their own for another World Youth Festival to be held in Sofia, Bulgaria. A scandal involving some confidential letters implicating the CIA, which found their way into print before the festival had the effect of curtailing the CIA’s plans for youths in Sofia.

It was during the following year, 1969-70, that Gloria Steinem first began publicly identifying herself with the women’s movement. Around this same time, Redstocking researchers noted, there ias a change in the biographical information listed about Steinem in Who’s Who. Reportedly, Who’s Who

sends data sheets to their subjects, requesiing them to furnish the details.

Th? 1968-69 edition was the first issue ever men- tioning Steinem and at the-time she was listed as: “Director, educational foundation, Independent Research Service, Cambridge, Mass., NYC, I 959-62, now member Board of Directors, Washing- ton.”

By the 1970 edition of Who’s Who, this entry was shorted to “Director, educational foundation . . . 1959-60.” No mention of her position in Washington on the Board of Directors appears and she ab- breviated her term of employment with the Independent Research Senrice to one year. The censored version appears in cacti successive edi- tion of Who’s Who.

There does seem to be an attempt, on Steinem’s part, to mislead Ms. readers and conceal parts of her past. For instance, her bio-blurb in the June, 1973, Ms. is even vaguer: “G,lqria Steinem has been a freelance writer all her professional life. . .Ms. magazine is her first full-time salaried job.”

Then there is Gloria Steinem’s mysteriously swift rise to national prominence so soon after the 1967 exposures; It is a common complaint among ex-CIA agents that past involvement with the Agency often impedes their ability to find other forms of employ- ment. This was not the case for Steinem. Again, according to the Redstockings:

“Her career skyrocketed a year after the 1967 exposures. Much of the credit for this must go toClay Felker, publisher of New York magazine. Recently in the news for his acquisition of the Village Voice, Felker immediately fired its two remaining founders from their jobs as publisher and editor.

“Felker was Steinem’s editor at Esquire where her first free-lance pieces were published. He hired her as contributing editor to New York magazine in 1968 and booked publicity spots for her on radio and TV talk shows. Felker put up the money for the pre- view issue of Ms. in January 1972, a large part of which appeared as a supplement to the 1971’ yearend issue of New York magazine.

“In effect, it was Felker who made Steinem famous by giving her a platform from which to establish her women’s liberation credentials. These facts are all part of the public record. What has not been widely known up-to this time are the earlier political roots of the Steinem/Felker collaboration. Felker was with Steinem at the Helsinki Youth Festival, editing the English language newspaper, put out by the CIA- financed delegation.”

In addition to Steinem’s initial boost from Clay Felker, the Redstockings were able to determine two other major sources of funds for the then fledgl- ing Ms. magazine. .One resource was Katherine Graham, owner andrpublisher of the Washington Post and Newsweek. She bought $20,000 worth of stock before the first issue of Ms. was ever pub- lished. According to perfect Ms. “ideology,” Graham was recently featured on the magazine’s cover, de- picted by the headline as “The Most Powerful Woman in America.” (10/74)

It should be noted in conjunction to this fact, that Newsweek became the most enthusiastic mass cir- culation magazine promoting the Independent Re- search Service and later Gloria Steinem as anindi- vidual. (See early article of 5/l O/65 and cover story of 8/l 6/71.)

The -second major money source for Ms. was Warner Communications, Inc. They purchased $1 million worth of Ms. stock, after the preview issue appeared. Warner’s allegedly put up nearly all the money and only.took 25% of the actual stock hold- ings. Even the Ms. editors admitted that this was a trifle odd: “We are especially impressed that they took the unusual position of becoming a major inves- tor, but minority stockholder; thus providing all the money without demanding the decision vote in re- turn.” (Ms. Reader, p. 226)

Warner Communications is a mamoth operation, now owning Warner Brothers movies and records besides having large holdings in cable TV, publish- ing, building maintenance and construction, parking lots and other companies. What was their vested interest in women’s liberation which inspired them to make such an unlikely business deal with Ms? Well, Warner is also the owner of National Periodical Pub- lications, which publishes the Wonder Woman comic books.

Warner bought the Ms. stock in May 1972. In July 1972, the first regular &ue of Ms. appeared on the stands, featuring a cover story on Wonder Woman. Wonder Woman as a feminist heroine, no less. The truth is that Wonder Woman was an army intellig- ence officer, working “for America, the last citadel of democracy, and equal rights for wome?.” The Ms. story also announced that Wondei Woman comics,p which had been on the wane since the 1940’s, would be reborn in 1973 with a woman editor.

Next January’s issue of Ms. told readers that the

managerial/professional jobs than any other woman’s magazine readers, and 54% of them are

-between 18 and 34.” The ad policies of Ms. are an equally important

indicator of the magazine’s financial and political backing, especially in view of the frequently stated Ms. claims of extreme selectivity -regarding which ads they will accept. This stance makes any ad they chose amount to an endorsement.

Blatantly sexist ads are most often rejected, along with ads for cosmetic-&d fashion products. How- ever, Ms. seems to have no moral problem accepting public relations and job recruitment ads for large corporations. IlT is one of the most regular advertis- ers in Ms. along with non-product ads from Ortho pharmaceuticals, Exxon Oil, Chemical Bank, Bell Telephone, Singer Aerospace, Shearson-Hamill stockbrokers, Gulf and Western Oil and Merrill- Lynch stockbrokers.

In their special “Human Development” section each month, Ms. runs a series of advertisements for careers in companies like these. A letter in Sep- tember 1973, from Amy Swerdlow of Women Strike for Peace questioned what the recruiting of women for ITT had in common with human development. “Let’s have a Ms. story on all ITT activities around the world. Then let the reader decide what talented women will find at ITT headquarters,” she submitted.

Ms. editors replied that in the light of all the unemp- loyed women and women on welfare, they could not be too selective about job ads. As if welfare mothers are ali headed towards ITT careers. There is much controversy over whether Ms. magazine is a com- mercial-or a political enterprise. Elements of both seem to exist, as ingredients of the MS. ideological package.

Recently, in a television appearance, Pat Carbine, now publisher of Ms. and formerly editor of McCalls in 1971 when ttiat magazine named Gloria Steinem “Woman of the Year,” declared that the women’s movement was currently in “Phase Two.” Radicals were necessary for getting things started, she con-- ceded, but the moderates were now in control.

The Redstocking women feel, “To the extent that this is true it represents the decision of the American establishment-the people in a position to choose who gets access to the press and airwaves, who gets hired to the token women’s jobs, who gets funding for their projects.”

According to the data researched by the Redstockings, Ms. owes its existence ot the high- est ranks of corporate America. “Phase Two?of the women’s movement, as described by Pat Carbine and exemplified in Ms. magazine, seeks to cover up the historid connection between feminism and radicalism. In order to avoid the latter, it must distort the former beyond all recognition. Why is it that Ms. published no articles on forced childbearing and-its economic function in society, for example, but does tell you how to bring up your kids with its “Stories for Free Children”? .

_ “Why is more space devoted to “etiquette for hu- mans” and “Populist Mechanics” -than to a root analysis of women’s unpaid and/or exploited labor which as. Susan B. Anthony reminded us, has kept society’s wheels turning for centuries. What is the political function of Ms. popular image as the magazine of the liberated woman? The very reason for the resurgence of the modern women’_s!iberation movement, after all, was the realization that emanci- pation was a myth, that women were not liberated.”

- The Redstockings say that they realize what rais- ing these issues will do within the women’s move- ment. They feel strongly that the time has come to necessarily draw some lines, as long as there appear to be two divergent forces at work in the name of the women’s liberation movement. It cannot be over- looked that women really need a revolution in their lives and it should not be forgotten that it is the CIA’s job to prevent revolutions.

The Redstockings think it is time to revive the radical ideas and leadership which marked the growth of the modern women’s Ii beration movement. All the trappings of the radical upsurge remain, but the content and the style have been watered down.

The data published in the RedStockings press release will soon appear as part of a 160 page theoretical journal called Feminist Revolution. In it, these women who term themselves activists and originators of the women’s liberation movement will analyze the movement’s successes and errors and propose a renewed offenscve.

Meanwhile, the Ms. empire proliferates with infor- mation and resources gathered in the name of women’s liberation. This process of inf&mation col- lecting is especially dangerous when put together with the fact that Gloria Steinem and cronies like Felker have a traceable history in intelligence gather- ing for the US government. What does Ms. do with all the data it has collected over the c_ourse of years, pertaining to the lives of many sincere radicals and women innocent of the Steinem/CIA connection?

Approached from an ideological perspective, it may not seem to matter whether Steinem has kept up her association with the CIA while she is editor of Ms. magazine and President of the Ms. corporation. Both the CIA and Ms. can be viewed as beholden to the same power elite, whether they are working separately or apart.

Intelligence The Redstockings assert that on another level it

is crucial that this question be cleared up: “A great deal of information flows into the Ms. offices con- stantly. The Gazette, a regular feature of news of the women’s movement, requests that readers send in stories about their own and other women’s activities.

“Incidents have come to our attention of women who were asked to write overviews for Ms. on vari- ous aspects of the women’s movement. The& arti- cles were submitted but were drastically cut or never published -although lots of issue space was filled up with reprints from books already having a mass distribution. Ms. has the names of individuals and groups mentioned in this data-rich material. The rest of us don’t, with the result that we are left isolated and’ in the dark.”

Another Ms. related group now under scrutiny, called the Women’s Action Alliance was founded by Steinem in 1971. Its office is located in the same building as Ms.

According to Redstocking research, despite its name, the WAA is not involved in action. They simply concentrate on intelligence gathering: “Although it described itself in a 1974 mailing as ‘impoverished’, it had already received a $20,000 grant from the Roc- kefeller Family Fund for the establishment of a ‘na- tional clearinghouse information and referral service’ on the women’s movement. Contacts to be used for this project, according to the Foundation Grants Index for that year, included ‘access to key women leaders, information files assembled by outside sources and a close working relationship with the magazine Ms.’

“Since that time there have been mar)y more grants for the ‘impoverished’ WAA, from Carnegie Corporation: $51,000 Sachem Fund: $23,000, Carol Buttenweiser, (Leob) Foundation: $5,000, Arca Foundation: $12,000, Chase Manhattan Bank, Foundation (Rockefeller): $5,000.”

As the Redstockingexpose points out, it is essen- tial that people with access to this kind and this much information be trustworthy. The information gathered should be used, bf course, to further the objectives of the women’s movemnt.

Gloria Steinem’s history of information gathering for the CIA and her apparent expertise in this area of domestic intelligence would seem to disqualify her from her current role as the walking logo of the women’s movement. The fact that she has never disavowed her connection to the CIA, although she has misrepresented her past actions as an Agency employee, imply that she is still covering up and therefore she has not earned the trust her position requires.

Steinem, with her vehicle, Ms. magazine, has un- dertaken the job of rewriting the her story of the women’s movement. Ms. magazine represents the movement now, as if nothing else had existed before it. When real feminist pioneers cannot be ignored, Ms. has a way of undercutting their accomplish- ments.

The Redstocking report points to a bizarre state- -merit by the Ms’. editors to introduce aninterview with Simone de Beauvoir. Ms. stated that the author of The Second Sex, whose monumental exposure of White male supremacy laid the groundwork for the modern, prganized movement, was now about “to join the movement at last.” This issue appeared in July 1.972, with the headline; “New Feminist; Simone de Beauvoir.”

Also published by Ms. is som?thing called “A Guide to Consciousness-Raising.” Kathie Sarachild, a Redstocking who says she thought of the idea, was never consulted or mentioned and her definition of the term was altered in the process. The MS. people now present themselves as consciousness- raising experts to their considerable audience. It is easy to see how they can pull off such a sham, from their financial standpoint.

It is less simple to know what can be done about this co-optation of the authentic women’s movement which began in radical and militant fashion. Attacks -from corporate America marked the emergence of a strong mass movement. Most frequently, it was de- clared that such militancy was alienating women, turning them off. Despite opposition, a mass move- ment was underway.

Since direct attacks on the growing nexus of radicalized women were not effective, another plan wa_s master-minded by “experts.” This is how and when Gloria Steinem and Ms. fit into,the picture. In the words of the Redstockings (a name that synth- esized two words Bluestockings, the insulting name for the early nineteenth century feminists, with red,

- the symbolic color of revolution): * “An alternative to radical feminism now exists, and

Ms. is its house organ. In the past few years we’ve had a chance to feel the effects of that situation. Researching this subject g&e us a glimpse into the behind-the-scenes interest groups which have been responsible for those ill effects. These interest groups must be brought into the full light of day if the

- authentic women’s Ii beration movement is to emerge from its current eclipse.”

Do not forget that Gloria Steinem dated Henry Kissinger at one time and think about this:“There is still the assumption that a woman is not a complete human being by herself. We have to consider the ways in which we are man junkies.”

-Gloria Steinem, New’ York Times, Aug. 11 ,I 974

Garbageman The Garbageman

by Juan Butler Peter Martin Associates

“What’s the use of talking to anyone? What the hell’s the use? Why waste my time talking to peo- ple who will never understand me? Why? Why? WHY?

Thus spake Fred Miller, “hero” of Juan Butler’s most recent novel, The Garbageman. And although he complains vociferously about his alienation, responsibility for that

state can hardly be laid entirely on North American society and its in- stitutions, as he seems inclined to think. But, for the purposes of this novels it seems that what Fred’ thinks is what is real. The action is narrated entirely from his point of view, and he is not too concerned with making the distinction bet- ween dreams, hallucinations, fan- tasis, memories and actualities for our benefit.

Had I been the most con- vinced conservative materialist, hbwever, I think that Fred’s biting descriptions of the social conven- tions that make up the fabric of North American life, might even have shaken my conviction that the best thing to do is to become well- adjusted to them. Not being overly committed to those social conven- tions myself, I nonetheless found myself a little disturbed by the frightening clarity with which these tirades of Fred’s exposed all the rot, plasticity and banality which

he and all the other misfits are un- fortunately able to see. I say, “unfortunately” because once you see the rot, and decide that you don’t like it, you have to decide s what you’re going to do about it. What do you do if you don’t like the reality in which you find yourself? A lot of philosophers, gurus and adolescents have worked on that problem. Fred Miller tried a variety of approaches (and retreats). If you don’t find yourself frightened by his description of the problem,, you will almost certainly be at least dis- tressed by some of his solutions.

thing in this novel takes place in- side Fred’s mind. In writing The Garbageman, Juan Butler has done his best to make that space real for the reader. To get thought down on paper, and to make it at least com- prehensible and vivid, if not ex- actly coherent, is not easy. It’s not going to come out sounding like a story or an argument or a descrip- tion, but rather like a combination of these with a little something else thrown in and a few connectives left out. That’s just how this novel reads-fragmentary, but flowing and just a bit confusing. But if you keep on your toes and are fairly good at concentrating only on what you’re reading, this book can take you inside Fred Miller’s mind.

That’s where Juan Butler wants you to find yourself, but its not a very comfortable place to be. Fred drags you, protesting, through his struggles with reality. He fights, hates and -sneers and he’s frigh- tened and alone. The main body of the novel deals with his surrealist phase. An exemplary surrealist at- titude is Andre Breton’s statement, “ . . . that ifit was realism to shoot a human being because he wore a German uniform, then it would be surrealism to apply the principle more broadly (and shoot at random into a crowd of people).” Fred turns on to that kind of thing and he gives it a try, but it still doesn’t solve his problem. He’s on a pil- grimage, trying to find a reality he can live in comfortably, maybe even enjoyably. However, his road seems terribly swampy and rough. But if you remember to keep your- self slightly distant from Fted’s mind, or if you consider him in re- trospect, it becomes apparent that the origins of his problems aren’t all “out there”.

Fred Miller feels misunderstood, alienated. Perhaps Juan Butler does, too. Fred says, “I’m never going to say anything meaningful to anybody again in my whole life. What for? Nobody listens to me anyways. Fuck them.” He’s in an insane asylum. Butler writes novels and, to the best of my know- ledge, he hasn’t been committed yet. The author of The Garbageman is obviously able to see reality as his character-creature does. He knows about alienation, and he’s doing something about it. Juan Butler writes novels. He’s a bridge-builder.

Planners or people

Who \will plan? /

by Michael Gordon Last October the newly created Regional

Municipality of Waterloo announced its offkial policies plan. Once passed by reg- ional council the document would guide the region’s planning and development for the next 25 years. Regional planning commis- sioner Bill Thompson pushed hard to have the document quickly passed by council without many revisions.

The lack of public response to the plan handily allowed developers to dominate the discussion. For one policy area the de- velopers submitted 628 written comments, almost 10 times the number of comments submitted by individuals and other com- munity groups.

However, dissent came from all sides. Local and national developers complained of the plan’s “length and imprecise policies”. The Urban Development Insti- tute, a national institution which repres- ents developer’s interests, complained the policies’ “lack of definition allows a great variation in interpretation by adminis- trators”.

Both Cambridge and Waterloo city councils asked for deferral of the plan be- cause it was, in effect, a constitution for one tier government in the region. Origi- nally the province of Ontario and the city of Kitchener, whose planning director was Bill Thompson, wanted all city and town- ship councils to be replaced by one all en- compassing regional council. Waterloo and Cambridge resisted this idea, wanting to maintain some degree of local autonomy, so the idea was rejected for the moment.

The regional council began passing the plan last November. They went through the plan policy by policy, changing a word here and there but leaving the contentious policies intact. Despite protests from Waterloo and Cambridge representatives the plan was almost unanimously sup- ported by Kitchener representatives. They badly wanted the plan because of its bias for large scale growth in the Kitchener area and the plan’s policies which would give planning a one tier structure.

Bill Thompson, still enraptured with the idea and now the regional planning com- missioner, included one policy inthe plan which would force all member municipalities official plans to conform to the region’s plan. The municipalities were given no recourse for appeal in the regional plan.

Finally, regional council, with elections less than a week away and the papers full of protests from all sides, decided to defer the plan for another round of‘public meetings. These public meetings were scheduled for the last two weeks of June, months after the protest and when the students had gone home for the summer. The regional government’s newspaper the Conestoga Wagon was republished with the whole plan. The region even brought in a public relations specialist and a graphic&t to tidy up the region’s presentation by making the wording more readable and understanda- ble. However the policy content of the plan was not altered.

Local community groups were disap-.- pointed with the lack of any citizen partici- pation programme that would give citizens a chance to participate in the region’s decision-making. At one public meeting after another residents told the region they wanted slower growth. One resident said: “I’ve seen more changes in this commun- ity than I want. I don’t want to live in another Toronto. I want to live in the Kitchener I love.” Thompson’s response to another resident demanding slower growth was to flippantly tell him to “hang in there” for the rest of the meetings. Thompson said later these slow growth people are “really just talking through their hats.”

In fact the regional planners had the gall to raise their growth targets even higher. The November draft of the plan recom- mended agrowth rate of 2.5 percent. In the recent draft this was jacked up to 2.8 per- cent. The plan admitted on one side of the page : “The poeple of the region made it clear that they want a slower rate of growth than experienced in recent years” and then on the other side of the page the planners

TOMMY z. Finally a group of UW planning students

published an article in the chevron “Why the regional plan must be deferred”. They listed eight points for deferral of the plan which included: -Unreadable, complex text; -Hidden goal statements ; -Absence of priorities;

~~;J’HOMSON” - a4 -Contradictory, ambiguous and redun- dant policies ; -deceptive growth statements; -Inadequate protection of natural re- sources ; -A constitution for one tier government.

One of the major complaints was how the regional- plan was released to residents. Ninety thousand residents received the plan in a tabloid called The Conestoga Wagon: Only planning enthusiasts could possibly wade through the more than 300 policies which were laid out in 20 pages of solid print with the addition of five maps. Residents were expected to examine the, plan so they could add constructive criti- cisms and comments at the public meet- ings, however, it appeared the planners wanted to discourage any kind of review.

Predictably, public attendance at these meetings was small. At the Waterloo public meeting there were more -students than older Waterloo residents. Even students wanting to participate in the plan were ar- rogantly rejected by the region’s staff. Reg- ional chairman Jack Young told one stu- dent after she had offered her comments: t‘Thank you for your ideas and I hope you enjoy your two or three years in Water- loo.”

announced there would be 2.8 percent an- nual growth, an increase over original es- timates . It appeared the domination of the private developers in the citizen participa- tion program was successful. But what does a 2.8 percent growth rate really mean? It means that the region is hoping to double the region’s population in less than 25 years. This is a frightening prospect for the region’s residents who repeatedly asked the region to curb the area’s growth. Even the promise to reduce growth 0.2 percent from its present 3 percent revealed duplic- ity on the planners’ part. They started off promising to curb growth but most likely they would have to make no attempt to do this because the region’s growth rate had been steadily dropping for the past four years.

Even more confusing and disconcerting for the local residents is the fact that when they turn the page they find the planners talking about a chronic water shortage by 1980. At this point the plan hints at imple- menting stringent regulations governing the use of water. The plan says “the region must find an additional 26 to 30 million gallons per day” (equal to the present con- sumption of the city of Kitchener) to sup- ply water demands expected in 1980.

Still, regional planners are an optimistic lot. They believe new water sources will be found to ease any water shortages that may occur before 1980. However, they’re plac- ing no bets on where a cheap source of water would come from after 1980.

The region poses three solutions to the upcoming water shortage. The first is a grandiose, provincially initiated scheme to build a $100 million dollar pipeline to Kitchener from Lake Erie to carry water from the lake. The cost of the piped water would be more than triple present rates and the pipeline construction would be quite a capital undertaking for regional residents. It would cost each resident more than $400. A local construction company estimated the pipeline’s cost would have inflated at least 50 percentwhen compared to the in- creased costs of building similar struc- tures.

The province has not firmly promised financing for the pipeline. For these reasons the planners have decided to reject this solution for the moment.

Another proposed solution is an “artifi- cial- ground ‘water recharge system.” It would involve damming the Nith River just west of Cambridge and north of the 401 and the flooding of 8,500 acres of land, half of which is prime agricultural land. Wells would be drilled adjacent to the man-made lake and would pump up lake water filter- ing through the soil.

The water rates would be half of those of the pipeline but the effectiveness of the system has been queried by several ex- perts. Thirty-three townships and town councils, groups and individuals registered complaints and objections to the proposed dam and reservoir.

’ The regional planners decided to shelve both the pipeline and recharge proposals because of the controversy and prohibitive costs. Instead, they decided in favour of drilling more wells in Wilmot Township and building smaller scale recharge sys- tems throughout the region. Planners are still unsure of where they will find suffi- cient water at competitive costs and yet they are pushing for doubling the popula- tion in the next 25 years.

Another issue the plan deals with at length is where and how people will live. Where will housing be built and what kind of housing will be built? The plan describes the region’s future “settlement pattern” as “a modified form of centralization.” The plan directs member municipalities to pre- pare detailed plans for their own com- munities which comply with regional direc- tives, to centralize growth in Kitchener and Waterloo.

The regional plan opts for a continuation of the city’s present structure: high density development in the city centers and a low density sprawl of single family homes sur- rounding the high density development.

An equally frightening prospect for Waterloo residents is the region’s plan to super-develop ‘downtown Waterloo into high-rise apartments, commercial com- plexes and office buildings. Recently a re- port by planning consultants commis- sioned by Waterloo city council surveyed residents as to what they wanted in the Waterloo downtown core. Overwhelm- ingly high-rise apartment development was the most contentious issue and few resi- dents wanted such an outcome (75 percent

of those surveyed were against it). ’ . . Although the report was submitted to the

region before they released iheir recent draft, the regional planners chose to ignore the wishes of the residents they were hired to serve.

But then, why do regional planners w&t high-rises? It’s because the regional plan- ners, especially Bill Thompson, are bent on serving business and the development industry in the promotion of growth. De- velopers readily admit the big money to be made’is on downtown development and real estate. If a downtowr). area is rapidly developed from a low density development zone to high density zone the real estate value? skyrocket. It is no smaIl secret that the majority.of downtown lands in Water- loo are owned by real estate companit%. (Major Holdings owns 75 percent of down- town Waterloo). Even tho-righ the Water- loo residents wanted low density develop- ment, the regional planners decided to serve and obey their ideological cousins in the development industry, .

The next issue the region deals with at length is transportation. The region hopes to someday coordinate transportation in the region. Already the groundwork is being laid for this; The region is taking over all major-roadways in the region. For ex- ample Highways 7 and, 8, King Street and other major roads will be under the juris- diction of the region. The plan also hopes for “the eventual assumption by the region of all public transit service. ”

The key to both the road and public transit systems will be the King Street, Highway 8 route extending through CaF- bridge. Planned for this corridor are a pub- lic transit line, and a major expressway, similar to the Conestoga parkway. At pres- ent, the major concern of the region is roads even though the plan extends over a 25 year period wken all things tell us the technology of transportation will change significantly. Technological change is given only. passing consideration by the re- gional planners.

The plan comes out iiamantly opposed to the extension of GO transit between the region and Metropolitan Toronto. Both Canadian National and Canadian Pacific have laid plans for this service. The On- tario government is also pushing for this proposal. Most residents agree planners are correct in opposing the GO transit ser- vice because it would quickly turn the Waterloo region into a bedroom commun- ity of Toronto; dependent on that center for the largest portioq of its residents emp- loyment. In the end the region and its resi- dents would lose much of their autonomy as a self-contained community. Decisions made in Toronto would more and more affect regional residents even thdfugh they’d have little say in these decisions.

Finally the planners outline their citizen participation program. in a section called “Planning with People” (note this section is not called “Planning by People”). Plan- ners consider themselves a breed of “ex- perts” set apart from people and their par- ticipation program proves this true.* The regional planners promise to publish annu- ally the Conestoga Wagon. Hopefully the planners might consider informing us more than once a year what they are up to. They also promise open houses, meetings, dis- plays and exhibits but never hintat involv- ing the citizens more directly in the plan- ning of our community.

Recently, Bill Thompson had some re- vealing things to say about his concept of ‘ ‘citizen participation” :

“This is the age of citizen participation br so we have heard. But really what have the citizens of this city got to crab about?.They don’t know what pollution is all abbut. They don? know what the word slum real/y means. They don’t know what crime is all about. And if our council keeps moving ahead as they have in the past, the citizens will remain spoiled, and why shouldn’t we be spoiled.”

And so are Bill Thompson and the boys down at the regional planning offlice being spoiled? They’re getting to plan our homes an& community without \those meddling citizens insisting on planning a community that neither the planners pr the developers in this region want. \

Abort io-n ist wants hel’p’

/ It is obvious now that it is the inienhon of

the authorities to d&troy me by all possible means: In spite of the statement givenby Quebec Justice Minister Jerome Choquette- to the “Globe sind Mail” that he did not intend to prosecute me further because I was ‘humiliated’ enough, he ob,viously in- structed the Crown to prosecute me on 4 more charges of abortion. Yesterday in court (with my lawyer absent, he was not even advised I was appea’ring) the trial date was set for June 9th. Thus, I have to go through the stress and strains of another trial-in spite of the fact that I received the ‘heaviest sentence of any doctor in an abor- tion trial (even whe’n a woman died as a result of an abortion by a doctor I know of no case where the sentence exceeded mine, whereas quacks often got light or suspended sentences; it was clear from the

judgement that I had not been sentenced for this one abortion but for the challenge to thii immoral law, which means in fgct all of the abortions that I have done.) Why then the additional charges? I do not know what is in the mind of the Crown, but the effect on me is obvious-it takes away my chances of going to a minimum security prison-I am kept at Bordeaux jail, which after Parthenais and&e-; Anne des Plaines is the worst prison in Canada-; it takes away m;y chances for parole or for emp- loyment outside, it gives the Crown levei- age to impose impossible bail conditions on me as they had done before, and it imposes added financial obligations on me for lecd expenses. The Quebec iRevenue Dept. is dbligirig them by having all my assets fro- zen for the last 15 months and by refusing to negotiate or to soften their stand in spite of the fact that their c&e is based on phony charges; they are content to sit back and to choke me financially even though the reason to freeze all my assets was that I apparently intended to run away from the coun@y. Now that I voluntarily submitted to the.authorities and am in prison they still have not moved to ease on the shackles they imposed-on me that prevent me from paying my bills, paying my lawyex% or have adequate funds for legal help in upcoming legal battles. I was told by someone who claims to know-that the Crown prosecutor boasted of wanting to ruin me financially by multiplying legal procedures against me. I have no reason to doubt that this may be true.

My head nurse is also facitig charges df abortion on two counts and I had promised her that I will pay her legal expenses; since my phones were tapped for years and I . have good reason to believe hers were too, it is clear that not only did the prosecutor want to get at her in a most vicious and unwafianted way, but also to ruin me fi- nancially. I-am now without funds and without income for a long time’to come, can’t even sell my own house in order to pay my lawyers. My medical licence is coming up for review and I may lose my right to practice medicine. I am in the @n’s den subjected daily to indignities and humiliations which are part of prison routine and added ones depending on the

_ whims of people who are ideologically op- ponents of women’s right to safe abortions.

My only hqpe is that my friends outside, th$: public, public opinion, will help me. My morale and spirit are not broken and they will not easily break; but I am worried and concerned for the immediate future. I* know I could ease my situation and plead guilty so that I might get concurrent sen- tences. This would save me stress, ex- pense and aggravation. But it is against all my principles to plead guilty to something which is not a crime but an attempt to act in a humane and decent; compassi&ate way by helping women who need abortions. If you believe, as I do, that the-right to a safk medical abortion is 4 fundamental human right, and if you want me to continue to fight for this right, and to help me person- ally against all the forces of reaction who

want to destroy me, I appeal to you to help me financially so that I may be able to defend’myself in court. Should ti situation arise that I may not need the money thus offeied me, 1,promise hereby to transfer it to the appropriate organisations fighting for women’s rights or civil liberties as I did

. when I was able to before my funds were seized. I must say I am reluctant to make this*appeal. If I do it, it is because I am now pushed to the wall by our enemies and be- cause I am not fighting for myself alone. I always considered as my goal not only to help people in need-but to do whatever in my power so that by my acts and challenge to the law others might be helped as well. I never refused any woman an abo_$io,v be- cause of inability to pay, a policy widely known by welfare agencies, women’s help groups, citizen’s committees and others. It is true I had made a lot of money but I earned it honestly by’ providing a compe- tent and essential, and, in many cases life- saving service. Had I done any other kind of surgery I would have made as much or maybe more money and I would not have had to pay all *the legal expenses and be exposed to the harassment by police, courts, Quebec revenue people, rabid fana- tics supported by the Catholic Church, .and I would not have had to face impiisonment, loss of licence and income over an indefi- nite period of time.

Thus, although reluctantly, I do a$k you for a contribution to permit me to’carry on the fight. I also ask. you,.for any kind o[

~ support for the cause and for me person- ally. Do everything you possibly can to bring pressure to bear on the responsible officials, M.P.s, ministers of justice, Fed- eral and provincial, the Prime Minister,

- advisory bodies, public opinion in general, ‘so that the law be changed in such a way as

.

to ensure that women have a right to safe medical abortions and real access to them without hindrance and delay; and help me personally‘by protesting my unjust ,incarc- -eration in spite of an acquittal by a jury and thd continued harassment by demanding that all other charges be droped. ,

I also urge you to join the Canadian As- sociation for the Repeal of the Abortion Laws, (C.A.R.A.L.) Orf which I am a direc- tor, Together, we shall overcome this cruel, iniquitous, barbarous law which still exposes women to dangers of death, in- jury, and stress, and vict@izes doctors

Cut’backs ,. I u_nderstand that&here is some possibil-

ity of the Audio-Visual Department being , adversely affected by the cutbacks in edu- cational spending.

- I have made extensive use of the excel- lent services provided by the Audio Visual Department, including the Film Library. It is my view that they ai‘e valuable aksets to teaching and learning within-the University . and I support that funding to this depart- m&t not be cutback.

This threat of cutbacks is of course part and parcel of the cutbacks in educational spending which affects workers and stu- dents in the university in this economic crisis. There is no reason why they should

j shoulder the burden and blame for the economic crisis.

Howe&r, there is a growiig’ spirit of ‘unity on this campus to oppose these cut-. backs and it appears that A-V too will have cause’to join the ranks of opposition.
