At ten o’clock on Saturday morning, seven runners were spaced across the track at seagram stadium to begin a relay race which lasted twenty-four hours. Before ten o’clock on Sunday, two world records were established, ten blistered feet were reported and three teams fell, exhausted, by the wayside. Seven men, running for the Springbank track club, ran farther in twenty- four hours than any other such group on this planet, and as far as recorded history shows, nowhere in this universe is there a YMCA ten-man relay team which has put in more miles during a 24 hour run than the Waterloo chapter did on that day. Final measuring saw the Springbank group with 245 miles 1,466 yards and the YMCA team with 232 miles 1,018 yards.

Among the diehards from across the province were two hardy souls running with the Mississauga track club who began with a desperate plunge at the world two- man record. Doug Wolfe and Bob Lazenby, both attempting their first run of this nature, continued putting together seven-minute- miles until they had compiled a total of forty-five; they then found the short rest between bouts on the track too demanding, and retired to sleeping bags and the gym floor after six hours of running.

The cold, windy afternoon which overcame the two-man team at- tacked many others also, “My calves feel like they’re falling off,” Hyke Van der wal commented as it began to rain and the red track w!iYd, slowing the runners considerably.

Van der wal burned the af- ternoon track, churning out his first ten mile runs in an average of four minutes-fifty seconds each. “I wanted to run nine consecutive miles faster than any other Canadian (except ace Jerome Drayton) had ever done in a single day,” he explained during the final hour, but added, “I did it,-now I’m-paying for it.” His final four it’s all about, I’ll try to do a bit better next year,” the young en- thusiast added before returning to the tent. Half an hour before Killan retired, forty-four year old Jack Reid kicked to the finish line. He and his Waterloo ‘Y’ group had just completed their 136th mile and set a new YMCA world record. They eventually piled up 232 to put slightly less than one hundred

hours were painful as he hobbled around, turning in ten and eleven minute times as time dragged. After the ordeal, this old veteran of Canadian track and field com- mented, “I’m a double PhD can- didate, yet gainfully unemployed after ten and a half years of teaching. That’s what makes people run.”

At ten-thirty am, Hyke van der wal limped to the award stand with his six Springbank teammates to accept a certificate and a com- memorative tee-shirt for estab- lishing a world record. As he struggled across the parking lot attempting to cushion several blisters and a cramped calf, the tee-shirt seemed a small retribution for the previous twenty-four hours, but he spoke of a twelve mile race in London next weekend smiling sadly as .’ he massaged his leg.

For Gerry Killan, the race ended when he fell asleep at two o’clock on Sunday morning. “No-one bothered to wake me up, I guess they knew I couldn’t go much further,” he said while sipping a cup of early-morning coffee being careful to keep his hair out of’ the beverage. It wasn’t difficult for Gerry to sleep in one of the many tents placed along the infield, he had run almost thirty miles in sixteen hours, and had never ex- tended himself to this extent before. Gerry Killan is twelve years old. “Now that I know what

Kerr takes tough stand

DOWNSVIEW (CUP&The Ontar- io government will close down universities rather than retreat from fee increases under pressure of a tuition strike, colleges and universities minister George Kerr said thursday (September 21).

“We couldn’t ask a man struggling to support a family to pay more for the cost of education,” he said. The statement brought shouts from the audience that the government should in- crease taxation on the “corporate welfare bums” as demanded by New Democratic Party leader David Lewis.

Kerr was responding to a Kerr criticized the OFS claim question a bout the government’s that the tuition hike will hinder

reaction to the second term fees strike being threatened by the Ontario Federation of Students (OFS) . OFS will hold a referendum on October lo-12 for students to decide if they will withhold their second term fees installment.

Kerr charged many full-time student politicians are organizing the fee strike “to justify their jobs”. He accused them of making “inaccurate” statements about government education policy. The minister was speaking to about 266 students at York University.

He said the provincial govern- ment is “adopting a philosophy whereby the users of the university should pay more of its cost”.

The recent tuition fee increases would better balance the sources of financing, he said. Taxpayers now support 80 percent of university expenditures, while students pay only 15 percent, he added.

But he said the education budget has increased and the two billion dollar expenditure represents a major portion of Ontario’s five billion dollar budget.

universal accessibility to higher education, saying that there have been more applications for student aid this year.

He said the fee increase would not “deter low and middle income students from the goal of post- secondary education”, and argued that since two out of every five students qualify for assistance “we’re achieving the goal of providing assistance to all strata of this society”.

He claimed that although the loan ceiling for the Ontario student award program had been raised from 600 to 806 dollars, the Ontario program is still the most generous in Canada. He added that the age of independence had been lowered from 25 to 24.

.

York president David Slater later pointed out that low income students do not enjoy the ad- vantage of these loans because they do not reach university. - He suggested that changes were necessary in the whole system, not just in post-secondary financing.

Kerr pointed out that despite the fee increase enrolment in the provinces’s universities is up 4.5 per cent this year, although the increase is less than the 6.7 percent the government had expected.

He said enrolment has gone up at the University of Toronto, the University of Western Ontario, ~~ Queen’s and the University of Guelph, while only Carleton and the University of Windsor have . suffered declines.

Marxist denied entry for

‘security reasons’ DOWNSVIEW (CUP)-An in- ternationally known professor hired to teach York University undergraduate and graduate political theory courses has been refused entry to Canada for un- defined “security reasons”.

The case of Istevan Meszaros, Marxist theorist, literary critic, political scientist and teacher of

philosophy and esthetics, is under review by a special committee, York Dean of Arts, John Saywell said last week.

Meszaros, a British subject since 1965, comes from Hungary. He was a member of the 1956 Provisional Government and fled to Italy when the Russians regained power in Hungary. He has been teaching in

the Social Science Department at the university of Sussex for the past six years.

York hired Meszaros last spring as the hub of a new graduate program : Social and Political thought. “He is already scheduled to teach two undergraduate courses”, Mel Hill, head of York’s Social Science Department said.

According to York officials, the Canadian Embassy in London refused to give Meszaros a visa in June, saying his entry into Canada was not “in the best interests of the country”.

Ed Fanning, district admissions supervisor for the Department of Manpower and Immigration in Toronto, said that immigrants can be refused entry visas for having a criminal record, medical reasons, and security reasons. He said the latter category is subject to in- terpretation by Immigration Of- ficials and may include persons suspected of “treason, espionage and deserting a ship”.

Saywell has been negotiating with the government since June, but would not comment on the talks.

York president, David Slater said Wednesday (Sept. 20) that “the matter is being actively worked on. We’re not engaging in public debate over the matter because we’ve found in the past, that beyond a certain point, this does more harm than good.”

Neither knew when the review decision would be reached.

Meanwhile, according to Hill, Meszaros is waiting in London with his family for the final word. He had not thought there would be any difficulty and resigned his position at Sussex and sold his household goods.

Fifty York Faculty members have circulated a petition urging Slater to take action and the Canadian Association of University Teachers has ex- pressed its concern to Prime Minister Trudeau.

Day care showdown imminent at U of T TORONTO (CUP)--After two hours of debate about the in- volvement of parents in Day care centre policy, the University of Toronto’s governing council decided last Thursday to accept the report of its internal affairs committee on campus day care.

The report concerns the operation of the new pilot U of T day care centre proposed by the administration a month ago. It calls for an administration-run centre with an advisory board made up of parents and university constituency representatives and excludes children whose parents are not connected with the university.

The location for the proposed centre is a building currently occupied by campus community co-op centre number two. It was occupied four months ago by the parents of children over the age of two in an attempt to force the university to come to grips with the problem of day care. The campus co-op already operated a centre for children under two. A 24 hours sit- in in March 1970 forced U of T to provide money for renovations for the centre.

About sixty people from campus co-op attended the meeting,

angrily denounced the plan. Ac- cording to Julie Mathien, former co-ordinator with the group, campus co-op already handles sixty children in its two centres, and there will have to be room for more.

The university’s proposal only allows for fifty children, and must accomodate children from two other existing centres.

Campus co-op is also concerned with a probable doubling of the current fees for day care and the loss of parental control of their children’s day care.

It was precisely this issue that held the meeting in seemingly endless debate for most of the two hours. Some members felt that there were insufficient provisions made for the parents.

A motion to refer the report back to the committee to clear up the issue failed by one vote. Paul Cadario, student chairman of the internal affairs committee, then proposed acceptance of the report. His motion passed 19 to 10.

Co-op parents left the meeting vowing they would have to be forcibly evicted from their oc-

cupied building before the university would be allowed to implement the policy.

Jazz - and blues

The steering committee to form a Jazz _and Blues (J&B) Club held its first meeting last thursday, with approximately 40 people attending. Organizers Barry Elmes and Paul Stuewe explained that the meeting was called under the assumption that someone on campus was into J&B. The club’s aims are to bring these enthusiasts together and to gain greater ‘ex- posure for J&B gn campus.

Elmes lamented that most J&B lovers have been “driven un- derground” on campus. He pointed out the dearth of Blues and especially Jazz material in the campus centre record store as a major reason for their interment. A general lack of good J&B discs forces Canadian discophiles to import from as far away as California and Australia.

It was suggested that the record store be approached to ship in more J&B records. Elmes lauded the store for its “tolerable” prices. With the availabiiity of J&B records there, he argued, en- thusiasts would no longer face such prohibitive prices.

Stuewe, and others in at- tendance, called for better and more extensive J&B programming on Radio Waterloo. There was some feeling that RW’s time slots for these programs were not the best. Those more into prime time were considered more desirable.

The intention to bring J&B en- sembles for “small” concerts, coffee houses or pubs- was voiced by both Elmes and Stuewe. They recommended contacting Paul Dube of BSA fame for help in organizing and selecting campus, local, Canadian and American talent. One of those present cited the K-W public library as a similar source of assistance.

Stuewe suggested booking James Hartley for possibly a week On campus. According to Stuewe, this would aticomplish the in- ception of a tentative series of J&B shows and provide an opportunity to set up creative work-shops.

Stuewe ‘will pursue the possibility of Hartley’s coming to Waterloo. However, he cautioned that acoustics and 3 suitable site for concerts will be a sticky problem.

Staff members from the Chevron and Radios Waterloo and Lutheran attended. They promised to look into publicity for the club in their respective media.

It was moved to hold the club’s next meeting on September 28 at 7: 30 pm in campus centre room llq. This meeting is planned to follow the jam session format. Everyone who plays or sings is welcome to come out. For further information phone Barry Elmes at 745-1534.

’ Sit-in trial this

wkek Four students charged following

last spring’s occupation of the administration offices will be appearing in the Waterloo Cour- thouse, Wednesday, Sept. 27 at 10:00 am.

The sit-in which grew out of the Moratorium of March 22, involved at the outset about 200 people. This figure was reduced to about 30 die- hards who remained through the night, till noon of the following day.

After the 200 odd students had moved into the offices Wednesday

evening, president Burt Matthews said he was willing to let them stay as long as they wished, and try to avoid a confrontation with the security. However, on Thursday morning, as the staff returned to the offices, the security in- discriminately nabbed four of the remaining thirty people.

students - . strike MONTREAL (CUPI)----A general strike of Quebec law students against the Quebec Bar now seems imminent, following a meeting September 23 at the university of Mont&al.

An ultimatum from the university of Montreal students demanding the restructuring of the bar examination was ignored last week. Consequently, law students at the university of Montreal, the university of Sherbrooke, Lava1 university, the university of Ot- tawa and McGill university are considering strike action.

Hughes, Chantal Tie-Ten-Quee, Reinhold Lade, Michael Gertler .

The occupation was the result of a full-day of discussion and con- templation on the situation of the student within the university in Ontario. In particular, attention focused on the then pending University of Waterloo Act, and the Wfight Commission’s interim report.

Emphasizing the general disagreement with the. provision made for student representation on the governing bodies of the university, the sit-in made little impact upon the “powers-that-be”.

The Act passed through the Ontario legislature during the summer, after some slick manipulation of committee meetings which effectively silenced the student opposition to the Act.

As well as the passing of the U of W Act, the recent raising of tuition fees and the loan ceiling in the Ontario Student Awards Program were unaffected by the distur- bances on this campus last spring. The fight against the latter two is still being carried on across the province in the form of a proposed january fee strike. ,

The university will bring its case against these four people, Wed- nesday,’ at the courthouse above the police station at 40 Albert St. Waterloo.

john keyes

William Friedman, president of the McGill Law Undergraduate Society has called a meeting for 8:30 Monday morning at which he asked for student support for the strike. If they agree, they will join more students who have already begun picketing the Palais de Justice,

Bar examitiations h&e been scheduled during the time of demonstrations, yet the doors have alr’eady been barred by angry students. The Lawyers’ Guild, however, has a police permit to demonstrate between 8: 30 am and 12:30 pm.

The major objections of the striking students are aimed at the structure of the bar exams. Six tests are given both,morning and afternoon on three consecutive days, each lasting three hours. Fifty-eight percent of those tested in Quebec earlier this year failed.

The strikers hope to pressure members of the bar into restructuring the exams at a meeting planned for next Tuesday.

Relay continued from page 1 miles onto the old mark set by a group from St. Louis earlier ,this year.

Reid found himself hopelessly overweigh;: a year ago and decided to do “a bit of running at the ‘Y”‘. “The next thing ‘I knew I was running the Boston marathon after just four months, ” his effort in the premier distance- race was disappointing, but he thinks ‘next year I’ll be ready. His weight since this running fetish began, dropped from 200 to a 160 pound runner whose mile averag: was well below six minutes.

Seven of those ten Waterloo ‘Y’ runners are students at the university of Waterloo. Bruntz Walker showed unbelievable consistency keeping his times to just over five Tinutes on all twenty-three of his mile attempts. Walker and many of his cohorts were monitored throughout the long ordeal and after every run gave a bit of blood to the fur- tlZrance of science.

The group ate one-half a chocolate bar after every relay leg “to keep their blood glucose level as close to the normal as possible,” Mike Houston of the kinesiology department said. “None of the guys eating the chocolate had their times ‘blow-upward’, as did many of the other runners.”

Nigel Strothard, another ‘Y’

runner, decided to run the event a fe_w hours before it began, “I got a telephone call and they mentioned the prizes : a certificate, a tee- shirt, and oh yes, an extension of our YMCA membership from six months into one for a lifetime, so I decided to run.” Nigel is no longer , eligible for amateur competition.

Pat Reid, who organized the affair, stood amazed as did all-non- participants watching people run continuously for no apparent reason. As Nigel said, ‘I may run for the tee-shirt, another guy runs to stayin shape,‘but I think all the guys out there are not proving anything to anyone but them- selves.”

There were no press personnel at the’ university of Waterloo’s first annual twenty-four hour run; two world records were established, the competitors talked with each other as the foggy night slowly passed by, running out into the darkened night and back again. There %vere no doubts in their minds that. this was a meaningful day, because already they plan to be back next year.

About higher - federation prices -

Last year, the Board of Student Activities (BSA), the section of the Federation which produces en- teTtainment on campus, was allocated an overall subsidy of $50,000. However, this budget was exceeded by over $45,000. Because little more than “entertainment” was being offered by the Federation, this large deficit didn’t really cause any major difficulties. With all of the other “boards” of the Federation spending well under the amounts allocated to them, the year’s overall deficit was kept to approximately $10,000.

This year, the Federation is trying to organize a variety of different programs as well as continuing to provide the best possible entertainment at reasonable prices. To this end, the Federation has budgeted to sub- sidize entertainment an campus to an upper limit of about $30,000. The price increases which have been instituted this year, were necessary to insure that last year’s

deficit won’t be repeated again this ’ year. _

As an example, the “Federation Flicks” went $16,000 over the budget last year when the ad- mission prices were set at 50,cents for members. This year, the prices have been raised to an average of about 75 cents for members in

order to reduce that deficit to a reasonable level.

The Federation is not out to make money on entertainment, but rather to provide a variety of events at the lowest possible price.

If any’one has any questions about the financing of any of the Federation’s activities, more infbrmation ‘is available from either the business manager or any members of the executive of the Federation. These people can be reached at the Federation offices at 885-0370 or extension 2405. Copies of the budget as well as the auditor’s report for ‘71-‘72 are also . available on recjuest at the Federation offices in room 235 of the campus centre.

The follpwing, obtained from the auditor’s report, is a statement of the expenditure on The Board of Student Activities for the year ended April 30, 1972.

Puppets and

adults Puppetry as an art form has

been with us for centuries. In fact, in Java shadow puppets existed as early as the tenth century and played an intricate part in the development of the theatre of human actors. Even earlier than Java, China was using shadow- puppets reaching a heyday in the eighteenth century; they are still an important part of the folk art of that country.

In western culture puppetry was first associated with religious rituals and has been traced far back into Grecian times. When the Christian Church developed, puppet theatre continued in the same function. With the rise of the Commedia dell’Arte in sixteenth century Italy, they regained some of their Roman characteristics and quickly spread to the rest of Europe with the aid of Renaissance art;

Puppets reflected the general art style of the country of origin. But the artistic style was always secondary to the concept of theatre. It is only in recent times that puppets have been placed in museums to be gauked at as a piece of art instead of being seen on stage as a moving character brought to life in the hands of the primary artist, the puppeteer.

theatre is now considered a medium for children’s en- tertainment. The downfall of this theatre in this country is in part a direct result of the gauche lack of taste’of the middle-class in the U.S. and Canada. In the latter part of the nineteenth century groups like the Royal Marionettes came from England to North America making extensive tours and putting on lavish productions. Small itinerant shows popped up mini-mimicking the European groups and headed into the hinterland where they were well received for bringing theatre to people.

Eventually other forms of theatre replaced the puppet theatre but in 1914 Tony ’ Sarg began to put on puppet shows for school kids. First in England, then in New York city, this form of entertainment for children caught on in North America and a large number of amateur and quasi- professional groups sprung up.

On continental Europe, even to- day, puppet theatre maintains an expertise par excellence. The movement is smooth and entirely human-like. The dialogue is believable, well written and not paternalistic; rather it is realistic and to the point, neither an insult to the audience (even if it is kids) nor to the artists who produce the performance.

On Saturday September 23 the Heiken puppets performed at the Humanities Theatre for an audience of children and adults. The movements of the puppets were quite wooden and unrealistic while the dialogue was an adult’s conception, being both juvenile and boring. In fact, most of the children were bored and restless all the way through the per- formance.

In North America the puppet The story portrayed was The

Snow Queen, a Hans Christian Anderson fairy tale. Certainly a pretty little story, but it would seem to me that if cultural ex- pressions via the arts are ever to be developed in this country such things as the theatre should be a reflection of life in Canada past or present. This is sorely-absent from the choice of productions chosen by the theatre.

Mime theatre

Friday evening at the Theatre of the Arts the Mime performance took place. I cannot judge from past performances, but for me, I found it an extremely delightful experience.

The program was entitled “visual delights” and contained a variety of skits, all of them en-

tertaining but some standing out more vividly than others. The audience is required to use their imagination, in filling-in the background scenery and the words that were never uttered.

A particular skit call&l: the wall dealt directly with today’s society and man’s inability to communicate with fellow men, an act that requires you to reach-out your hand or just speak to the other person.

Another skit titled: don’t pick the flowers deals with the fact that in today’s society we are over- conditioned to the extent of policing ourselves even to the point of rejecting that which we love simply because it is forbidden. In the end only tragedy is left open for those who will not love what they wish and can neither love nor fight what is oppressive.

I particularly enjoyed bird and hunter performed by Harro Maskow who played both hunter and hunted. He has the unique ability of putting his whole-self into the part and making it come alive. You could see the canoe gliding through the waters, the hunter

stalking the unsuspecting bird while threading his way through the underbrush, over fallen trees and overhanging branches. He then transforms himself into the bird with all the characteristics of the waterfowl. The bird lands, preens itself, settling down to rest only to be shot at by the hunter. From comments overheard in the audience, this was their favorite skit.

The western narrative also performed by Harro tells without words, an entire story of the old west. In your own imagination you the audience fill-in the background scenery and easily put in the words the actor is miming. His pan- tomime is so beautiful a small child could easily have understood it.

There were so many skits all of them well done by Adrian Pecknold, Harro Maskow, Wayne Specht and Maggie Potter, that it is difficult to describe them all. If you ever get the chance to see the Canadian Mime Theatre perform take some kids along, they’ll enjoy it too.

Edgar, that is. He was here 2% years ago with his brother, what’shis-name, and at that time people said he’d last longer. They were right.

He came to Kitchener a year ago with Rick Derringer, and they’blew the James Gang right out of the Auditorium. He was in Toronto this summer with his new band, and just about stole the show from head-liners Humble Pie.

On September 28, Edgar Winter will be at the Uniwat Gym. His new band consistsof bass, guitar, & drums, with Edgar handling piano, moog, sax, 81 vocals. They’ll be doing some old standards-“Johnny B. Goode,” “Tobacco Road,” “New Orleans”-as well as newer material, on a tour that’s received near-unanimous rave reviews.

Gumshoe, now playing at the Odeon Hyland can be easily classified as light entertainment. What there is of a plot is sketchy and really not that important. It is difficult to understand why Judith Christ, a Reader’s Digest in- tellectual and devant garde movie critic, described this film as, “darn good tough mystery.”

It would seem that the only mystery resides in why Gumshoe was categorized as a thriller in the first place. The major impressions that the movie-goer takes away with him are the old classical cliches superbly delivered and the excellent performance of Albert Finnev. Because the over-

But looking back at the film an interesting insight about our times suggests itself to us. This pseudo- thriller genre of film had its heyday during the 1930’s and into the 1940’s. Perfected by Humphrey Bogart, the ethic of the small enterpreneur fighting alone epitomized the values of America. It is all so big and mean and dirty.

It is often said that in his movies Robert Mitchum is really playing himself. One would hope that he is capable of more interesting dialogue than some of which is found in The Wrath of God.

There is really only one way to describe this movie ; hokey. Hokey it is, but that in no way keeps it from being entertaining.

The Wrath of God has an in- teresting cast of characters, for both their present .and past per- formances. Frank Langella late of Diary of a Mad Housewife plays the ocillating-eyed Thomas de la Plata, a crazy counter-revolution- ary. He does a creditable if somewhat campy job. Rita Hayworth has a minor but con- vincing role as de la Plata’s much distressed mother.

The potentialities of Christianity and the idea of priest as revolutionary-liberator is an area that is often overlooked. The Wrath of God, though off target, is aimed in the right direction.

The Wrath of God is a melange of contradictions, it is both sad and funny, brutal and tender, real and contrived. It is by no means a film milestone but when it is compared to the other bits of cinematic fluff in town these days, it has real substance, and for all its faults it is worth seeing.

Ken Hutchison, who was one of the rapists in Straw Dogs, plays a good guy this time, as the unwilling compatriot of the corpulent Vic tar Buono.

It is unfortunate that the Federation continues to receive second-rate prints from the film distributors. Frequent blurrings, distortions, and breakdowns are an unnecessary limitation especially when ‘compounded with the technical deficiencies of the movie.

Desperate Characters deals with the “quiet desperation” affecting the lives of its middle-aged, upper class characters.

The desperation portrayed is rooted in a sense of alienation resulting from the contradictions found between their life styles and their values. There is form, but no content. Predinner drinks and conversation, parties, a weekend in the country, visits with old friends : all constitute rituals which have the appearance of comfort and security but which in fact offer neither.

Mitchum, as befits a star, has the most interesting part and the other roles are .ancillary to his. Mitchum plays a heretical defrocked priest who is both Good Shepherd and killer. The movie’s best scenes are the juxtaposition of his violence with his priestly tend- erness and love.

Conversation prove innocuous, the party lacks any real in- teraction, the weekend in the country turns out to be a disquieting experience; the visit with old friends only reinforces estrangements. Whatever had been the basic underlying reasons for these social structures, can no longer apply.

The main characters: Otto and Sophie, like the characters with whom they interact, are internally bankrupt. This state of being forces them to seek desperately for external sources of pacification rather than to experience a tur- ning-inward upon themselves. Consequently, they are aware of their frustration but not of its source. Society has not questioned the underlying premises of its structures. They too have been conditioned not to question, not to criticize. Although this type of alienation affords a choice in as much as they are in a position to do something about their way of life, it blocks realization which leads to choice.

Otto is clutching at straws when he suggests to Sophie “‘maybe we should adopt a child”.. Their relationship is barren; but he cannot realize that a child will not fertilize it.

The main plot of the movie is the attempted assasinations of de la Plate, which is a pretty standard blood and guts affair. It is un- fortunate that it is violence that sells a movie, for the god-man dichotomy within Mitchum makes a far more interesting story,

It is difficult for people that were brought . up in lackadaisacal Protestantism to understand the devout Catholic’s desire to wor- ship. When Mitchum and crew arrive in town (ostensibly to kill de la Plats) he finds that the people there have been denied a priest for two years. At his own peril he sets up shop and the people flock to his church. Mitchum’s role as god- man is alternately over and un- derplayed but it gives the movie a definite sense of the dramatic.

Sophie also attempts to contract meaning into her life by having an affair. Her remark “Are you surprised that I had one or that I had any?” suggests ‘an affair’ devoid of any meaningful human contact.

Otto and Sophie, are both grasping for external trappings (a child, an affair) to fill up the void. Neither are able to make the connection between the external world and their in tern al relationship to it.

The ‘message’ stated was not explicit. It was rather implied by way of a heuristic device: the reference to the cat which bit Sophie, continually cropped up but really only aided interpretation in the last scene. Sophie asks Otto when they (ASCPA) will kill the cat and he replies: “When they have examined it”.

World games

possible As with all good things, only

money seems to stand between Kitchener-Waterloo and the World Student Games in the summer of ‘75.

After a “preliminary ex- ploratory meeting” cum bullshit-cocktail hour session last Wednesday, the possibility of the K-W area hosting the Games is still very much up in the air. Most in attendence agreed finally that the largest hurdle ahead is the money vaukt at Queen’s Park.

Carl Totzke, director of athletics at the University of Waterloo, called the get- together and hosted over forty of the area’s big-wig political types. As is always the case, drinks were provided ‘gratis’ at the faculty club in what seemed to be an attempt at loosening the tight grasp the attendees hold on lbcal budgets.

Former Kitchener mayor Bill Butler projected the first stage of the selling promotion saying, “it’s about time Ontario became recognized as being in the center of the sport effort.” Last year, Butler and another group were stifled in their attempt to get the Canada games to Kitchener-Waterloo, but he’s making another bid for big-time sports here adding, “it would be a tremendous boom to the area.”

“Kitchener-Waterloo would become bedfellows with the Canad ian Interscholastic Athletic Union. . . in an effort to stimulate sport at the grass roots.” This was the way Bob Pugh, the second salesman, viewed the prospect. Pugh is the present executive chairman of the CIAU and met with president of the world university sport organization in

Munich to discuss Cantida’s plan to submit a bid as hosts.

The Warrior’s football game with Guelph Gryphons may well point to a hallmark in statistics being accumulated on the morals and lifestyles of Canadian college students. And if the situation at Waterloo is ’ any indication of what’s happening on the provincial college scene, there will likely be a public outcry in the established media during the height of the college football season.

The statistics we are about to present were obtained Saturday morning by members of the Task Force investigating the consumption of alcoholic beverages among college students. Rumour has it that a “White Paper” may also be forthcoming due to the severity of these unanticipated findings.

Task Force members, small town Liberals specially chosen From across northern Ontario, arrived in Waterloo at 7 a.m. to complete part of the job nor- mally done by Seagram Stadium groundskeepers, namely to collect all empty alcohol bottles; the -regular groundskeepers were left to collect the usual assorted debris such as old footballs, uneaten Schneider’s hotdogs, Dad’s old

There were no less than eight different kinds of alcohol consumed by the avid football supporters at friday’s game. Included were:

Brandy Cider Coffee-ma Gin Rum Southern Vodka Wine Whisky

352 7330

The fact that theie was more than an ounce of booze for each of the 4,500 people at the game is rather meaningless when the quality of several of the beverages is taken into con- sideration. In the rum category, the Task Force found that

Bacardi was the most popular with a small proportion favouring Lamb’s Navy. Among the wine socialisers, a

variety of obscure brands were equally popular; at the lasl recount, Cold Duck held a slighl edge. Whisky, the mosl favoured beverage, possibly indicates the success of loci merchants in advertising theb goods since Seagram’s and Black Velvet accounted fol nearly all whisky consumed Two incidental corollary fin dings may be of interest to some sports fans who attended the game: Section C contained an especially large number of whishy-drinkers, while Section Q considering the ex- traordinary number of roaches found, contained the largest numbers of grass users and abusers.

Members of the Task Force expressed genuine regret in the definite distortion found in the statistics caused by the multitude of beer and ale drinkers who take their bottles with them for the return deposit.. These drinkers con- stitute a significant if not major part of those in attendance; the 36 bottles of beer and ale ac- tually found onIy represents the top of that particular iceberg.

Co-ed sports

Co-ed activities are slowly getting under way. Don’t be shy, just get a gang of kids together and come on out.

Co-ed volleyball will be held Tuesday nights at Seagram’s gym from 7:00-11:00 pm. It’s just a recreational league with no of- ficials. A schedule is supplied simply to arrange playing times.

There are a few modified rules to give the girls a chance and probably some unwritten laws too.

Entry date is October 2nd and entry forms are available in the physical education office.

There is also co-cd slow pitch if you don’t like volleyball. You can have as many people as you like on the team but girls are compulsory. It’s a great way to have some fun and meet some kids. We had 14 teams in the summer with staff and faculty members taking part. It’s easy to play. You pitch to your own team but only get two pitches.

, Naturally scores are high due to lousy fielding as well as a lot of rule breaking. So get some cheerleaders and enter a team. Entries will be accepted in PAC Office until September 28th.

For a real laugh get in on the co- ed Inner Tube Waterpolo. All you do is park your can in an inner tube and there is no real talent involved. If you can’t swim, don’t worry about it. You’ll learn quick enough. Get a floor together or just some

friends. Entry date is October 2nd and entry forms are available from the receptionist in the Physical Activities Building.

Math@ students: There is a general meeting for all female Math students who live off-campus who are interested in forming an Intramural team. Don’t worry about being the only one. Lots of kids from your faculty will be there. The meeting is Thursday, September 28th at 12:30 pm in Room 3006 of the Math and Computer Building. Get some team spirit going girls and show UP*

Curling club The purpose of the University of

Waterloo Athletic Curling Club is to provide instruction & com- petition in the game of curling. Intramural events will also be organized and intercollegiate curling teams selected. Mem- bership in the club is open to all students, faculty & staff of the University, who have paid the athletic fee. Curling experience doesn’t matter as the club is recreation-oriented. Instruction for all who wish to acquire curling skills will be available at the first meeting.

All recreational curling will be done at the K-W Granite Club on Agnes Street in Kitchener. Registration will begin on Monday, Oct. 16th at 4:OOp.m. at the Granite Club. For those who would rather curl on Thursday afternoons, registration for Thursdays will be on Oct. 19th at 4:OO p.m. Everybody is welcome to curl either Mondays or Thursdays or both days.

Men’s Varsity competition will begin in late October. All entries should be in by Oct. 19th. Times will be announced later.

William Kunstler:

radical

‘legd

nymphomaniac’ .I (William Kunstler, radical American lawyer and

liberal folk hero, will speak thursday night at 7.30 in the Humanities Theatre.)

0 ne of North America’s most controversial legal figures will be here on September 28 as a part of th e Federation of Students’

program of speakers. A well-known figure on many American campuses, William Kunstler has stirred up as much heated reaction outside the courtroom as he has before the bar, in both Canada and the United States.

Remember the Democratic Convention -of ‘68 and the ill-fated Festival of Life staged by the Yippies and other groups ? And the Chicago Conspiracy Trial

presided over by Judge Julius Hoffman? William Kunstler and the young radical lawyer Lennie Weinglass handled the defense during one of the more bizarre trials of recent times. Like the defendants- JerQ Rubin, Abbie Hoffman, Lee Weiner, Rennie Davis, John Froines, Dave Dellinger, Tom Hayden, and Bobby Seale -the lawyers’ took on unreal dimensions as the case turned into a burlesque of the legal process. The trial opened with the arrest of four defense attorneys and closed with Kunstler being sentenced to four years imprisonment for contempt.

The unfortunate timing of various visits by Kunstler to university and college gatherings, along with the legend of the Chicago trial, has left him open to much criticism as a pied piper of chaos. Writing in Esquire, Joseph Bishop has described Kunstler as “probably the only member of the New York bar whose mere arrival on a campus can set off rejoicing and tumult comparable to the arrival of John Lennon at a rock festival or Adolf Hitler at a Nurnberg Parteitag, circa 1938.”

-

Bishop’s comment, like much that has been said both pro and con Kunstler, paints a colourful but blurred image. It is a picture of a man too in- distinguishable from a background of events that engulf his times.

Kunstler started out in an executive-trainee program in the 1940’s after graduating from the Columbia Law School. During the fifties, he went into small business and family law managing and, as time went on, also wrote poetry, prose, and radio scripts. He became a family man, marrying a distant relative who had fled Nazi Germany, and raising two daughters.

With the coming of the civil rights movement, Kunstler became involved in the problems of the black community by fighting segregation in the schools and counselling such people as Dr. Martin Luther King. With the rise of militancy and the emergence of the hard-core black nationalists, Kunstler was drawn into cases ever further from the mainstream of liberal causes. Among his clients were H. Rap Brown and Stokely Carmichael, whose names have become only two of a long list of black radicals Kunstler has represented in court.

The‘ Vietnam war became another cause for Kun- stler as he came to the defence of various anti-war groups. Among them were the Catonsville 9 and the Milwaukee 14. Both groups had been responsible for seizing and burning draft files. The Catonsville group, which “napalmed” the papers it stole, included one of the Berrigan brothers, along with other former Roman Catholic nuns and priests.

His defense of Armstrong may set a Canadian precedent.

A little closer to Canada is the Carleton Armstrong case that Kunstler and other lawyers. are handling. Armstrong is in Canada awaiting an appeal on his extradiction to the United States. The legal proceedings surrounding the case involve landmarks in Canadian law. The initial sensation over the affair arises from the alleged crimes upon which the U.S. is

basing its extradition plea. Armstrong is supposed to have been part of the bombing of an American university math research centre which had been doing work with direct military application for the U.S. Army. Despite warning messages given by bombers, the building was ‘not completely evacuated and one person was killed.

A Canadian court has decided that the case is criminal and not political, therefore not involving a question of granting political asylum to Armstrong. The question of whether or not the case is essentially political is hotly debated. As it is, the case will be appealed before the Supreme Court of Canada. This is setting a precedent in Canadian law since the Supreme Court has never before heard a case concerned with extradition.

William Kunstler sees himself as a radical lawyer. Both in his professional approach and his personal beliefs, he represents a sharp departure from the legal establishment. For himself and other radical lawyers, Kunstler sees a basic dilemma of having to play by the rules of a system in which they have no faith.

In his own words: “The central problem...is that the radical lawyer is

in an utterly impossible position....The anomaly be- comes even more perplexing where the lawyer shares

the general political philosophy of his clients. For example, if he too believes that the courts in many instances are instruments of an oppressive system determined to preserve itself by any means necessary, then he may find himself constitutionally unable to accept rules which he believes further that purpose. Yet, these same rules will govern the conduct of trials which may subject his clients to stringent criminal penalties, thereby destroying or crippling their ability to effect meaningful social change.”

While he is revered by a significant segment of the pre-middle-aged in the legal profession, Kunstler has been assailed by many from every quarter for a variety of reasons, including his courtroom behaviour, relations with clients, general handling ‘of cases, and his overall view of the state of the law in the light of existing social problems.

‘I only defend those I love.’

A lead editorial in the official publication of the American Bar Association of June, 1970, reviled Kunstler. The scolding stemmed from

his statement that “I only defend those whose goals I share. I’m not a lawyer for hire. I only defend those I love.”

The journal accused him of being old-fashioned and short-sighted. It maintained that the professional ethos obligates members of the bar ‘fto provide competent counsel for any person with a legitimate cause...a lawyer for hire; is available to the bad and ugly, the scorned and the outcast.”

Kunstler countered with a charge of hypocrisy, asserting that “only a bare handful of American practitioners have ever undertaken to put this ideal into practice. If more members of the A.B.A. were available for such work, then perhaps I would be able to be more catholic in my selection of clients.”

Crossing swords with the American legal establish- ment on both theoretical and practical levels is routine for him. Displaying a cynical tone, Kunstler asserts that the legal system, “ . ..in order to achieve the equal justice it proclaims-as its goal, depends solely on the reasonable approximation of practice to preachment. If jurors were really impartial, if the poor and the benighted had access to the same legal talent available to the darlings of the system, then parhaps even lawyers could accept all the lofty pronoun- cements at face value. But the sad fact of the matter is that one hour in any police court in the United States should convince allbut the blind and deaf that none of these is the rule.”

The fact that so many, especially in the legal profession, are listening to Kunstler and others like him may well have an effect on the future of the American legal system. New York Times writer Victor Navasky notes that while it used to be “...to identify with a lawyer was to identify with law, the iden- tification with Movement attorneys like Kunstler may encourage disrespect for law. But it is, in a paradoxical way, disrespect within the system.”

While he has been caustically upbraided in- numerable times, Kunstler is able to keep a strong rapport most of the time with blacks, activists, and students. This is in part attributable to his display of interest in their problems and aspirations and his ability to absorb and exchange ideas. For example, accrediting the idea to the concept of the worker-priest explained to him by Daniel Berrigan, Kunstler suggests young lawyers might live and work out of communes. The communes could provide food and lodging in return for legal services. “If they only did it for a year or two, they’d learn a lot of law, gain a sense of solidarity and learn not to judge things by the money standard.”

His unorthodoxy is further revealed in his relationships with his clients, who \were once described as showing “no reverence for God, the Constitution, soap ‘or motherhood.” During trials, he’s known to eat lunch with his clients (an aprofessionalism, since most lawyers dine with their colleagues-at-law). Rap Brown was married in Kunstler’s house. Bobby Seale’s 35th birthday was celebrated there.

Some from the rightist camp of American politics have been given to hyperbolically attacking Kunstler on a sexual level. Says Bishop, “he must be the only alumnus of the Columbia Law School capable of sending adolescents into Dionysiac ecstasy.” John Coyne in the, magazine “National Review” was a little more acrid,“ . . . there’s something embarassingly sexual about his relationship with kids and the way he

responds to their screams of approval... .but it would be a mistake to dismiss Kunstler as an aging wierdo undergoing acute change-of-life. He may or may not be sick. But he is without doubt an effective demagogue.”

The root of these charges may lie in some people’s own sexual inhibitions and their inability to relate to other people with the easy warmth that Kunstler is at times prone to show. Given to disarming and casual displays of comradeship not typical of white North American males, he frequently greets clients and colleagues of both sexes with hugs and occasionally kisses.

Other furor has come out of Kunstler’s views on problems associated with the black community. He has publicly defended the principle of collective self- defense in the ghetto in cases of excessive police action. In reference to the Black Panther Party he said “the Panthers are a form..of slave revolt. They are Nat Turner, We could tolerate Martin Luther King-and here I talk to the white people-because he did not pose the threat of a slave revolt. He spoke in terms of nonviolence.. . . The Panthers are heroic. I don’t accept all the rhetoric. I have differences over tactics. But you have to ask’ yourselves-if you woke up in the morning and found you had black skin- would you still tell the black man to be patient and wait till justice makes its way through the courts?”

It would be a mistake to believe that Kunstler generally supports extraparliamentary violence as reasonable or practical. Once asked about the ex- plosion of a New York townhouse thought to be a Weatherman “bomb factory” he replied:

“The impulse of these kids is very much the same thing as bitterness over Palestine, where Jews decided peaceful protest against the British wouldn’t work, and Algiers. It’s not unusual. You lose faith in electoral protesting. I’ve never approved of these tactics in the United States because I think there are still outlets, methods short of violence, to overhaul society. But you can’t just condemn them out of hand. You must also consider what brought them into being. ’ ’

“There is a disquieting probability that the legal subsystem itself is nothing more than the new tyrant’s most reliable weapon to ward off any seemingly potent threat to the continuation of

yesterday into tomorrow. If the injunction and the conviction can achieve the same results as the rope and the sword, judges are after all far more com- fortable companions than executioners,. . . (then) in the last analysis, due process of law is exactly what the high and mighty say it is.

“If this be the case, and I submit there is con- vincing evidence that it is, then the role of lawyers who can no longer remain their society’s complacent eunuchs must pass from passive or active acceptance to open resistance.”
