L Fee Hike Strike costs estimated at $10,000 -

Federation budget draws fire on first reading The Federation Council

met for the second time in two weeks on Sunday, March 24. Although the major item on the agenda was the first reading of this year’s budget, of equal importance was a delegation from the Committee for a Fee Hike Strike (formerly the Ad Hoc Committee for a Fee Hike Strike).

Chris Reid, speaking on behalf of the Committee, asked Council for $282.75, claiming that Committee members had spent that amount in promoting the fee hike strike. This figure included: $65 for posters, $187.25 for buttons (less $35 made back in donations), ($53.50 for placards and $12 for paper for leaflets.

In justifying the request, Reid stated that the Com- mittee was, at times, “doing the business that the Federa- tion said’it was doing, but wasn’t.” Committee members had approached the Federation before the meeting to request funds for a poster and a handout. Neil Freeman, Federation president, claims he was not approached to pay for the Committee’s buttons.

Freeman spoke out against the request, stating that the Committee had wanted carte blanche to do whatever they wanted, and that he refused to give it to them.

Reid replied that he was told that the Committee would be reimbursed for the posters. Larry Knight, Chair- man of the Board of dom- munications, stated that he had told them that they would be reimbursed if the poster met with Executive approval. Neil Freeman added that he saw the poster and refused to accept it, that the Federation would be deemed irresponsible if it

said to Burt Matthews and Bette Stephenson, “No way - we won’t pay!”

Brigid Rowe said that the Committee has increased support for the fee hike strike, using the placards made for the Stephenson rally as examples. It was her opinion that the students on the Committee should be commended for their actions, and that it was very dis- couraging that Freeman spoke out against the Com- mittee.

Larry Hannant added that the Federation didn’t come up with anything but a procedural argument against holding the fee hike strike while the students did the tangible work.

Freeman stated that it was up to the Federation to keep control of finances, pointing out that the Committee spent more for 500 buttons than the Federation spent for 1000.

Rowe argued that, at that time, the Federation had yet to approve of the fee hike strike, whereas that was when the buttons were needed. The Committee bought its buttons in Waterloo, getting them to the students almost immediately, while the Federation sent to Toronto for them, she added.

Freeman reiterated his com- plaint that very few members of the Committee had signed the petition objecting to the tuition fee increase and calling for a strike; both Rowe and Hannant disagreed.

When Denise Donlon stated that, to her knowledge, no group had ever been retro- actively paid, Rowe stated that the Federation knew all about the Committee meet- ings and that the Committee had been very open in its dealings.

The question of whether giving funds to the Committee

would, in effect, be sanction- ing its actions arose. Reid responded that the Committee wasn’t looking for anything official, that it was just doing the job of the Federation. It was mentioned that the Federation could not have taken action before it voted to actually hold a strike, to which Hannant responded by stating that the Executive had been working against the strike.

Freeman told Council that the Committee was not politically responsible, and that the Federation shouldn’t have anything to do with them. On such an important action as a fee hike strike, he stated, there must be concerted action, and there can’t be splinter groups.

The motion was defeated with none for, thirteenagainst and four abstentions.

strike is a radical enough move .to alienate some members of the campus.

Freeman asked the engineering representatives, who have done a survey showing that 66% of their constituents do not want a fee hike strike, whether engineering intended to pull its fees out en masse. Engineering representative Peter Sawras stated that he hadn’t heard anything to -that effect. Treasurer Kent Lewis stated that he would return to Yates and see if the figure needed amending.

One of the major concerns of the councillors was the $5600 subsidy for ‘media’, a line created in the budget of the Board of Communic.ations for this year. Sawras felt that this figure was much too high, and that his constituents would --- never agree to it. Knight justified the sum as the second half of his ‘media blitz’.

The purpose of this advertising campaign is to make the public more aware of student issues and student concerns. Its first phase began with a series of

. television commercials payed for by $8,000 granted to Knight at the last meeting of the Council.

Sawras then pointed out that thelineitemcalledPosters and Advertising Fund had been created as a slush fund two years ago, when he was Chairman of the Board, and that it was no longer needed. Knight said that, in fact, he intended to use that money for the purpose of putting up posters.

The money he asked for in this year’s budget would have gone to the second phase of the media blitz, were he to recieve it; Freeman has stated, however, that the figure of $5600 would be dropped by approximately $2,000.

Sawras then asked for a complete breakdown of how much money was going to be spent on the fee hike strike, something that Freeman was unable to supply. D’Gabriel estimated that between ten and fifteen thousand dollars would be spent on the campaign according to that budget. Sawras has stated that many objections will be forthcoming from the faculty of engineering, however, before the budget gets accepted after second reading, so this figure might change.

The Board of Co-op Services has taken on PEERS, as voted on by last year’s Council, and has set up a Student Day Care Fund instead of donating money directly to the Klemmer farmhouse day care centre. The former will be receiving $1,800 while the latter will be receiving $500.

The National Union of Students/Ontario Federation of Students line in the Board of External Relations Budget is up two thousand dollars from $4,000 to $6,000, a figure which includes sending delegates to two conferences. The major reason for the increase is that last year’s figure was too low (the Board actually spent $5,300).

The Ginny Lee Fund (also known as the Emergency Student Loan Fund] line was raised from $1,000 to $1,500. The fund had run dry twice this year, and it was felt that more money was needed from the Federation.

The campaigns line, which will be increased for the second reading, is to cover the cost of a mail-out which will update the off-campus students on the fee hike strike. Part of this money is to come out of the contin- gency fund, although part of that money was also slated to go to Optometry.

After the Budget was re- ceived for information, which

bound the Council to nothing, Sawras made a number of requests on behalf of the engineers. The first dealt with the Co-op Workterm Housing Project.

Under the auspices of Jen- nifer Hilton, five thousand cards were filled out with the addresses of students on work terms. These cards were dis- played on the ENGSOC office walls, where students who will be going on work term can find out about the accommo- dations in the city where they’re going.

Sawras asked for $604 to cover the cost of last term’s cards, and $2,000 to cover the cost of this year’s cards. He hoped to see the service expand to cover students in other faculties, and felt that the Federation should take it over at that time.

The second request was on behalf of the Bauer Warehouse, which is run by the engineering society. It needs $285 for - improvements which are not covered by the $174 collected in membership fees. Sawras pointed out that 87% of the time the garage is in use, that the figure asked for was lower than he expected the improvements to actually cost and that, to raise its fees, Bauer Ware- house would price itself out of the market.

.

The final request was that the Federation take up the cost of the engineering society’s course critiques which amounts to $500 per term. The Administration used to administer the critiques, but EngSoc took it over. Sawras was hopeful of having a campus-wide course critique administered some time in the future.

.

All will be decided after the second reading of the budget, which will take place at the as yet unscheduled next Council meeting.

OFS Rallv draws 3000 to Queen’s Park Thursday’s Ontario Fed-

eration of Students (OFS) rally at Queen’s Park ap- peared to be a huge success, as over 3000 turned out in Tor- onto. Approximately 1500 as- sembled in Convocation Hall at U of T for a 1 pm pre-rally session with student representatives and OFS chairper-

d

son Chris McKillop. Surrounded by placards,

with buttons, balloons and song sheets, a student from Algoma College gave a round- up of the situation in Northern Ontario. At Algoma, fees are only $10 above the formula fee set out by the Ministry. However, over 70% of the

student body has signed a petition asking for the re- moval of the $10.

The crowd was buoyed by news of a rollback at Laur- entian. The increase in Sud- bury was originally the max- imum 18.25% but has been lowered to 13.8% due to student activism there.

McKillop rose to the podium was Mayor John Sewell of amidst a thunderous ovation. Toronto. The crowd began by “Now these are my people,” he booing, but relented when they said, “this ‘is one of the most heard his supportive stand. exciting scenes I have wit- Sewell encouraged students nessed in all my years as a not to feel guilty for something student politician.” the government is to blame for.

He told the gathering of how the fight had to be one where the problems of post-second- ary education were brought to the people of Ontario. “We have a message,” McKillop announced, “let’s make it clear.” I

John Sweeney, Liberal colleges and universities critic, said he has asked Minister Bette Stephenson if in- creasing the fees was not a burden to students. Her reply was that “students aren’t paying enough yet.” The crowd proceeded to yell for action and an election to be called.

NDP critic David Cooke

added that accessibility may be limited by higher tuition fees. Smith called for both funding and tuition increases, and for OSAP to keep pace.

The main attraction was Ontario Premier William Da- vis. After the loud chorus of boos died down, Davis stated that he has “been on these steps (Queen’s Park) meeting students for 12 years. . . I expect to be on these steps meeting students for the next 12 years.”

, Davmeganby saying that he believed universities were . receiving a fair and equitable share and that his government has many financial responsi- bilities. “I don’t think the public will be too impressed,” Davis yelled, referring to the rally. “We are the public!” the students replied.

Boat people adjust to new life Last July, the family of

Minh Thi started on their way to Canada. At the time, they had been in a refugee camp in Thailand for the

. past seven months. The initial organizational

meeting to support the family was not well-attended: ten people showed up. An- other letter was sent. Event- ually, about 50 people made pledges and donations.

Lowell Aronoff contacted Immigration Canada. Con- firmations were difficult to obtain. Aronoff was told that the family would arrive in 6 weeks, however he was told this for 4 months.

FinaIIy, in late January, he

was notified of the Thi’s arrival which took place on February 1. -

The Thi farnil-y have had no major problems so far, other than a few mechanical difficulties in their house. The family is learning Eng- lish from Jackie Kos, twice a week, and, Aronoff says, they are learning “incredibly quickly.” “I notice a dif- ference every time I see them,” he said.

The eldest son, Quang, already spoke English and had taught some of the others in the refugee camp. The other seven children are attending school in Kitchener.

Now Aronoff is sending out

another letter, thisaime asking for clothes for My Thi, the mother, and the two youngest children, Thuy and Hai, as well as for some kitchen equipment (a very large bowl] and some common household tools although the This have a screwdriver, a hammer and a saw. Recreational equipment, like bicycles, would also be appreciated.

But more than anything else, Minh Thi and Quang need jobs. Since Thi owned a rice mill in Viet Nam, and Quang Thi repaired TV sets, their knowledge is not directly applicable to their Can- adian situation.

John McMullen

Joined by another 1000 students from Ryerson, the group made its way to Queen’s Park for the actual rally.

Once there, telegrams of support were read. They came from Alberta, Saskatchewan, Moncton, Sherbrooke and Me- morial university in New- foundland, as well as from the mayors of Ottawa and Thun- der Bay, the Ontario Council of University Faculty Ass- ociations (OCUFA) and the Social Planning Council of Toronto. ’

Twelve university student unions, two colleges and Ry- erson were in attendance, as well as a group of about 60 from UW. Among the speakers

echoed Sweeney’s sentiments saying that the OFS deserved “unqualified support” for the rally. The written statement added that there is a decline in the quality of education, inadequate student aid and limited accessibilitjr. I&mentioned a “dangerous change in government policy” in intro- ducing autonomous fees.

Liberal leader Stuart Smith also noted that OSAP was not keeping up, but noted that a larger proportion of those. attending universities now are from richer families. He also

BWks funding apartheid? /- i The role of Canadian banks in South African political developments is questioned by WPIRG-sponsored panel discussion. .

A forum on Canadian Banks in South Africa was sponsored by the Waterloo _ Public Interest Research Group (WPIRG) ,‘ Canadian University Students Overseas. (CUSO), and the Peace Society last Monday after: noon. Three speakers presented aspects of apartheid in relation to Canadian banking and entertained questions from a small audience..

Professor Ernie Regehr of, Conrad Grebel College gave. some background information on the apartheid system in South Africa which pre- vents the black majority from having equal status with the white and coloured minority. The apartheid system, Regehr said, was founded on the Land Act of 1936 which divided the white and Africaans people. The blacks, 75 to 80% of the people in South Africa, were allotted 13% of the land. The remaining 87% of the land was allotted to the white and colo.ured people.’ (See feature).

Corporate Research Centre was -highly critical of bank loans to South Africa saying, “Loans are the lynchpin of the whole system of apartheid.” He said that banks “promote a system of neo-colonialism and a cycle of underdevelopment.” Banks, he noted, contribute to- the debt crisis of the Third World and transform a -- - creditor/debtor relationship between the banks and the countries into*a political relationship which determines the economic policies of the countries; Robertson stated. that the banks supported repressive regimes “because it is good business.” He accused Canadian and : other banks of bringing the international economy to

.the verge of collapse. In criticizing Canada’s

banking system, Robertson said, “We’re dealing with massive institutions. Canada has eleven banks. Five of these banks control 80% of the banking. The US has 14,900 banks.” The Canadian banks to ‘which Robertson referred

Robertson said, population by race; an act of “We’re talking about global

banks. They just happen to have their head off@? in Canada. We cannot view them, as domestic institutions: we must view them as trans- national.”

Gelb debunked excuses for investments which are nor- mally offered by Canadian banks. The first excuse that he cited was that economic investment liberalizes apartheid policies. Gelb said that in the last fifteen years South Africa has experienced massive economic growth but black unemployment is much higher and the blacks are increasingly being forced to move into rural and impoverished areas. Eco- nomic investment does not filter down to the majority of the blacks,

He also critic&d the excuse that bank loans go to projects

/which benefit the blacks such as the project to electrify the Soweto ghetto. He said the electrical wiring is being done but the homeland system is not altered by this and the elec- tricity is only a benefit to those blacks who can afford appli- ances, but few can.

CUPE kupports Feds

Only 16% responded ‘yes’ when asked if they knew of any exchange of money for plagiarized material.

Brzustowski noted that “the respon; sibility is on the instructor not only to detect plagiarism but. to avoid the conditions leading up to it.”

The Canadian Union of Public Em- -ployees (CUPE) local 793 at UW voted

nnanimously last Tuesday night to support the Federation of Students specifically and the Federation’s fee hike strike as well.

Of the 196 students who responded, 83 said they would participate, 93 said that they would not and 20 were undecided. In percentages, 42% said yes, 47% said no and 11% were undecided,

John Kearsley, the local president said that most members of the local are middle and low income families and are worried being able to send their own children to university. Kearsley also stated that the local felt that afeasability study should be carried out before fees are raised. By faculty, the Environmental Studies

students supported the strike most with 50% of the students saying they would participate in the strike. Math and HKLS both had 44% agreeing to the strike; Arts resnonded 46% in favour and Science

The vote also would support the Federation of any further action it deems

students decided 42% in favour.

-Survey Results _

What is the biggest problem fo: someone going on work term? Finding 1 place to live. At least that is wha

. The results of Imprint’s survey on plagiarism are in. And the main result is that UW doesn’t like surveys.

The turnout for the survey was quite poor, under 1% of the on-campus population. However, some interesting, but not unexpected results were accum- ulated.

Of UW student6 responding, 60% have resorted to plagiarism and 80% know of someone else who has. While statistic- ally, the survey is far from representative, a substantial number of students across campus generally see the figures as approximately correct. When the survey asked how many students used plagiarism, the majority said over 50%.

\ Dr. T1A. Brzustowski, Vice President Academic, says he ha6 seen “only a handful” of students in such a situation in his teaching career.

The question on possible penalties showed that 76% of students know of them. Of those, 65% feel that the regulations as they stand are adequate.

Presently, on assignments, a professor can deal with the problem or refer it to the chairperson of the department. From there, it can go to an Academic Discipline Committee in the faculty or to the Examinations and Promotions Commit- tee of the Senate. In the case of ‘exams, the Discipline Committee sends a report to President Matthews.

At any of these levels, the process may be stopped by taking action or referred to a higher body. Actions that can be taken include probation, suspension or ex- pulsion from UW. The decision can be appealed to Matthews.

jennifer Hilton, the president of Engin eering Society “A” thinks.

Her main project since she becam! president last summer has been the setting up of a housing list survey. Wit1 the help and support of the Departmen of Coordination and Placement, Engsoc was able to include a survey card wit1 every mark transcript mailed by the Registrar to co-op students of al faculties going on work term. They were asked to fill out the form giving information on the place they lived while on work term and mail the survey tc Engsoc. The many hundreds of formr returned were put on file \and can bc referred to by anyone on campus whc needs a work term residence.

Hilton says the system is workinl well. Although the survey is nov publicised in the Engineering” faculty already it is known of and used by man] students of other faculties. _. - .- - _

She said that-Peter Hoy, the chairpersor of the Board of External Relations, actin! for the Federation expressed interest in thr programme offered in principle to reim~ burse the society for the six hundrec dollars it has spent on materials already and to contribute one thousand dollar! toward the operation of the survey for the first year, about half the estimated cost. Hc said that the Federation wanted to be sun the idea worked and so would wait a while before assuming control. He also arguec that the Federation would bear only i portion of the costs now because he think! most of the benefit of the survey pro, gramme is presently going to students ir

movement to join the Committee. Chris Reid, on behalf of

the Committee to Support the Fee Hike Strike -_.. -..- _.

Engineering Councillors question media campaign .

The E&tor, We would like to bring to the attention of all

students on campus some of the plans the Federation of Students is considering to implement concerning the Fee Hike Strike/ Campaign Against Cutbacks.

Presently the Federation is undertaking a media campaign involving a withdraw1 of $3000 of “surplus” funds from the 79-80’ budget. In consultation with some members of last years executive we feel that the use of any “surplus” funds from last years budget for projects initiated by this years executive is improper. Even though council votes in favour of the motion we feel that council did not have

‘adequate information to make such an administrative decision.

In addition to the amount above, a further $5600 has tentatively been budgeted for a media campaign in the coming fiscal year 80- 81. The bulk of this amoung ($8600) is to be spent on television commercials. Do you think this amount is justified?

To this date Neil Freeman has yet to give out any figure on the amount of money to be spent on this campain. In the recent survey held in Engineering we see that only 35.5% would agree to the Federation organizing a fee hike strike and only 15% were willing to participate. Considering the amount soley being spent on a media campain, how much is actually going to be spent on the Fee Hike Strike?

Voice your opinions on the issues via your council representatives or to Neil Freeman.

The Editor, I

Recently the Committee to support the Fee Hike Strike has been unjustly attacked several times by Federation President Neil Freeman.

In the March 7 issue of Imprint Freeman says that the Committee’s motives are “not related to student concerns”. He tries to prove this unfounded statement by saying that members of the committee “refused to sign the Fed petition”. In-fact, one leading member of the committee was very active in circulating the petition, and many other members supported and signed the petition. Others saw this tactic of appealing to the government as futile, a fact which has now ‘been proven by Bette Stephenson’s rejection of the petition, and felt that the time then should be used to organize the fee hike strike.

Similar false statements were repeated by Freeman at the Bette Stephenson rally and reported in the last issues of Imprint and the Gazette.

This kind of activity can only serve to split the students at a time when it is important that students unite to defeat the tuition increases. We feel that Freeman should make a public apology and retraction of his false statements.

The Committee to Support the Fee Hike Strike was set up as an open committee to mobilize support for the fee hike strike. We have been very active in distributing buttons and leaflets, putting up posters and talking to thousands of students and answering their questions. Our activities have greatly increased the support for the fee hike strike. Far from being a “rival group” of the Federation (Imprint March 21) we have encouraged students to support all Federation activities in support of the strike and have distributed federation leaflets and buttons.

We plan to continue the work of mobilizing support for the fee hike strike and encourage all students who want to participate in this

On March 21, 1960 in the South African town of Sharpeville, 69 black South Africans were gunned down during a peaceful proteSt against the racist policies of the South Africangovernment. Twenty years have passed since the Sharpevllle massacre, but the _ policy of organized racismand exploitation perpetuated by the white South African rulers remains firmly entrendhed.- _ .. The struggle of liberation fotice,s has brcgght justice to many of Africa’s ‘countries formerly dominated by

”

white minority rule. The-liber_ation of Zimbabwe and the establishment of democratic elections there is’the most recent example of the important changes being experienced throughout Africa.

Yet, in South Africa a system of rticism and oppression -remains. “Apartheid,” the official policy of ‘racial discrimination in Sduth Africa-is imposed on the ’

_ . majority black population by the po.werful white minority (less than 20% of th’e population). Enshrined in

_ at least,thirteen separate acts of parliament, apartheid denies ,political, social and economic rights to anyone whose skin happens to be black.

The .allqcation ‘of land displays the fundamental inequality of apartheid. Despite comprising over 70% of

1 the country’s population, black South Africans hold a total of only 13% of the landarea. That land, in addition, was selected for the blacks by the tihites, and it comprises some of the most economically valueless land in the emntry. <

Marriage-between races is illegal; black trade unions -are illegal; most skilled jobs are reserved for whites and

The Situation at UW .’ --- UW comptroller, Art Headlam,informed Imprint

that the university does not hold any . equity (stocks) in companies at all. The small amount of holdings it did have on_ the equity market were

. con’verted to bonds because “the yield on the bond market has been superior.”

. .

Of the corporate bonds held by UW, none are - issued by companies involved in South Africa. Nor are. trust coppanies holding any of the guaraqteed _ investment receipts. However the. bankers acceptance notes are with “major Canadian banks.” 4.

Headlam said that “we do not anticipate a major

change in our investment portfolios in the foreseeable future.”

‘The advahtage of a bankers acceptance note ig.. that the interest rate tends to be higher (approx’-‘ imately one quarter per cent overthe prime rate) ati, uhlike a guaranteed. investment receipt or term deposit, the investor’s money is not locked up. \

Federation of Students president Neil Freeman would like to see the Federatidn axid student groups getinvolved intheissue of divestment but has not made any specific plans yet. -

’ By this time next year the Carleton University students’ association (CUSA) may have pulled

. more than $2 million out of the Bank of Nova Scotia to protest its loans to repressive regimes.

Student &ociaiionvice president external, Rdb Sutherland, says there is “strong sentimint within CUSA” for the move whidh is scheduled te--be p.ut ,before council before the ,end of the academic year. The students’ association will also be campaigning later this -month- to get Carleton students to withdraw their ‘funds-from the -bank. -

- Accord’lng ‘to Randie Long, dUSA research \ officer, and,Sutherland, the bank has only come up

with “wishy-washy excuses” to justify it? foreign investment po1icie.s. It maintains thatwithdrawing these loans would only mean hurting the oppressed class even more because this class benefits from the money. Lotig calls this totally ridiculous. “Hoti C&n keeping money out of the oppressor’s ban! harm

the oppressed?” he asked. *- --

Withdrawing CUSA funds Will in no way cripple the bank “a huge institutiov,:but it will let-people know what’s going on andthis is where the solution ,lies,” Sutherland said. _

leave in order to serve the whites. Despite the liberal ‘rhetoric of Prime Minister Botha, the homelands are Seen as the answer for what his government has variously termed the “surplus,” “redundant” or “super- fluous” blacks-that is the unemployed, the old, the sick, the women and the children.- -

The homelands show the cruel truth of apartheid. According to figures from a Johannesburg weekly, The Star, the per capita income is the lowest of the entire continent and falling still lower. Large numbers of people are totally destitute-malnutrition is univer- sal-starvation is common. Graveyards are filled with

supplies inadequate, schools and clinics rare. People are harribly crowded with some of the highest population densities in Africa, but home is often no more than a tent.,

Forced to carry identification passports with them at all times, the movement of blacks is restricted by the white government. Failure to carry these pass books is a criminal offence for which thousands of blacks are

imprisoned each year. As one observer pointedly remarked, “It is a policy of divide and rule that denies Africans the freedom of movement in a land that was once their own.”

’ Opposition to the South African government is met by violent repression but resistance to apartheid continues in South Africa. The 1976 student revolts in Soweto and elsewhere served notice that a new generation of South Africans was prepared not only to act, but to die for their freedom.

tiny graves of children and babies and an Institute for Social Research Fact Paper, 1974, shows that the once, proud Zulu physique is become small and stunted.

Is there any hope for a more humane future in the homelands? Not under present conditions. Most of the _ _ __ _..-- - land is barren-either badly eroded or semi-desert- irrigation virtually non-existent, sanitation and water

The efforts of the ‘government to contain the discontent have proved costly. Thousands of “political prisoners” are detained within South Africa’s prisons (in just one month in 1978 over 600 individuals were arrested), some without official charges against them.

As far away as it may be, the connections to South Africa for Canadians are very real. Since the early 1960's the five major Canadian banks (the Toronto Dominion, the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce,

the Bank of Montreal, the Bank of Nova Scotia and the Royal Bank) and two smaller ones (the Banque Canadiene Nationale and Banque Provinciale) ‘have provided financial assistance to- the South African government. Such loans have been crucial to the government’s efforts to overcome financial crises which otherwise might have begun to undermine the stability of the apartheid system. Other Canadian-based corporations have as well continued to maintain operations in South Africa and profit from the inequality of apartheid.

Bank loans and corporate investment in South Africa mean both financial and moral support for apartheid and allow Canada, represented by the banks (and the corporations involved), to stand on the side of the white majority regime in that country.

In responding to questions about their support of the South African government, Canadian banks claim, as the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce did in a recent statement, that “these are strictly business decisions into which political factors must not be allowed to enter.” Loans simply cannot be politically neutral within South Africa. All major forces worktng to oppose apartheid have called for withdrawal of international financial support to South Africa. Bank loans can only serve to prolong the agony and the racial status quo of apartheid.

In response to the indifference of the banks throughout -Canada and other parts of the world, student organizations, trade unions, churches and numerous individuals have protested by writing letters, demonstrating and withdrawing their accounts from banks. In one of the most dramatic displays of support for an end to the bank loans, Dawson College of Montreal decided to withdraw its entire account (estimated to be $25 million) from the Bank of Montreal.

A beachfront sign

Throughout Holland and the United States similar activities have forced banks to back off their South African connections. A spokesperson for the banned African National Congress (ANC) in Waterloo last week affirmed in his presentation the importance of these actions. He noted that the South African government is extremely sensitive to international opinion and withdrawal of international financial support is seen within South- Africa as “an important gesture of solidarity with the South African liberation struggle for justice and freedom.”

What One Bank Says The Bank of Montreal has not stopped lending

money to South Africa and Chile because it feels no particular purpose would be served by such a move, according to the bank’s vice-president, public affairs.

Speaking in Halifax last week, Dick O’Hagen said the Bank of Montreal has considered “the question of lending money to governments...who are entirely repugnant to us. We have satisfied ourselves or persuaded ourselves for the moment that we would serve no particular purpose by suspending loans to South Africa,” O’Hagen said.

The bank takes a similar position on loans to Chile, he said.

O’Hagen said the banks which have stopped loans to racist or repressive governments have

done so because “they have persuaded themselves it’s not worth the trouble” to defend their actions.

He maintained that bank executives are no less ethical simply because their bank lends to South Africa. or Chile. “There is a higher range of consciousness in the boardroom,” he claimed.

He said that although bank officials are “as outraged” as anyone else at the atrocities committed by such governments, they have to be more realistic.

“It’s a very pragmatic world we live in and people simply don’t stop doing business - especially if it’s

profitable business - unless there’s very strong evidence to persuade them to do so.“

Lowcock and Madigan take freestvle title I

J z. Les Lowcock and Steve

Madigan, UW students, won the Ontario Universities’ Flying Disc Freestyle Championships held last weekend at Brock University.

Lowcock, 22, a third year honours Biology student, and

. Madigan, 23, a third year student in Social Work, were the only competitors from Waterloo able to particip.ate in the two day tournament.

The competition was divided into three events - Guts, Ultimate and Freestyle.

Guts is a team game and consists of 5person teams lining up in parallel rows, 14 metres apart. The object of the game is to hurl a frisbee through the opposing ranks. It is not a subtle game. Steve

_ Madigan calls it “fat man’s frisbee.”

Ultimate also consists of 5- person teams. When played indoors it uses the boundaries of the basketball court. It’s similar to football and netball combined. The object of the game is to catch the frisbee in the air over the goal line, but one is not permitted to run with the disc.

Madigan and Lowcock com- peted in the Ultimate competition but as part of Niagara Disc’s team<

‘We do have an ultimate team, but notice of the tournament came too late for team members to relieve themselves of prior commitments,” said Lowcock.

“Included in that (Waterloo’s) ultimate team is the person we consider to be the best all- round player in Canada - Rimer Mot-timer of Renison College,” Lowcock continued. _._ -

Both players felt that Water- loo’s team, if it could have been together, would have won the competition. “No problem,” commented Madigan.

Madigan and lowcock’s efforts for Niagara helped them into the finals but the final game followed immediately after their semi-final game and a combination of fatigue and inexperience with. other team members caught up with them. They lost by one point.

Freestyle, according to Madi- gan “is anything you want to do with a disc.” It is free form throwing and catching.

Freestyle is a unique sport in today’s world if for no other reason than this: the competitors are. alsothe judges. “That’s the beauty of this sport, in that all competitors judge each other,” said Madigan.

Competitors are judged according to variety, difficulty and execution of moves during ’

--7

a four-minute routine which is done to. music.’

“The best music to use,” according to Lowcock, “is southern rock such as Lynrd Sknyrd.”

Flying disc tournaments are noteworthy for the evident camaraderie amongst competitors.

‘The essential thing. about flying discs is having a good time,” said Madigan.

“There are a lot of tournaments, say in Ann Arbor or Rochester,” Madigan continued, “and the world champion or American champion may be there and he’d take time to show you a few moves. There’s no real back stabbing in this world. Everyone’s friends and they like to help you out.”

The two champjons are hopeful that Waterloo will be able to host a tournament here in the summer or the early fall.
