However, when Mr. Wagar referred to White, I believe he was referring to the ex- Federation speaker R.A.G. White. R.A.G. White, is not nor ever has been a. member of the C.R.G. If a person was to claim that he was a member, Mr. White and many’members of the C.R.G. would-. be very upset at that claim. I hope Mr. Wagar will in the

Penthouse defended /

Dear Editor; ; The Ontario Provincial Police have

’ very quietly “advised” magazine distributors that in their opinion the April 1977 issue of Penthouse is obscene. rf the magazine is put on sale the distributors’ will be charged and all copies wilf then be seized. So Penthouse sits in warehouses.

The London Free Press (March 18) &ported that lO,O,OOO copies of

zhe magazine were seized in Mob- treal. It is not on Sale in Hull so it seems that the Montreal Police took . the entire Quebec shipment. The Quebec Provincial Police does not seem’to have been involved. So it appears the Montreal Police have decided that citizens of that great cosmopolitan city, and all other Que- becers as well, should not see the April Penthouse, presumably because . . . . ..I’ 2. .

’ I guess t?e latest issue on Canadian campuses’is the hue and cry abo.yt our PM’s comment concerning students and the summer job market. *

‘-Ev$ryone immediately ‘interprets his comment about students having no right to jobs, and that they should leave the country if they can’t-find work, as a complete disregard for the “welfare” of the people, or some such thing..

IN ADDITION, WE INSIST that the 0. P.P. stop the use of coercion to sup-, press the sale of any magazines. ’

Petition 6 has the same four pare- - graphs as A, but has an additional paragraph <at the beginning. It reads: ALTHOUGH WE DO NOT personally approve of Penthouse magaiine, we do believe in the principle of a free press and the right of adults to pur-. chase the magazines of their choice:

Petition B in fact makes a strong- er statemenrthan A. For it says,that people do n’ot want the police to decide what people can or cannot’ read,

, even though they may not personally approve of certain magazines. ’

I suggest that people throughout

University graduates have been crying for several years now that there are no jobs for them when they are out of sctiool for good.

Students complain ‘every summer that “they can’t find a job”. What they really mean is that tHey can’t find the ideal job for themselm one that’s easy and enjoyable,. with good pay. Hell, most people can’t find that job, so why should a four-month member of the work force think that it should be available ta him or her.

There are plenty of jobs in this country. But they are unfilled simply because they are healy, or dirty, or time-consuming, or require too much initiative, or pay less than Unemploymenb Insurance does for doing nothing. ’ -

I find that students who legitimately have to work du-ring the summer to put themselves through school, as oppdsed to those who merely mouth the words, always manage t6 find som’e source of summer income.

Sure, it would be hice if we could all have a “job:’ for four months of the^- year, to earn enough money to carry us through.tharest of the year. But it doesn’t quite work‘tbat way.

’ If “students” ‘want to be given a job during the summer, they t-t&St be willing to’do the heavy, dirty, time-consuining jobs, and accept the fact that employers will, exploit your labour,“ because they realize that you need the job. -,

Ontario . use this petition, or draft similar ones, and send them to ,Pre- mier Davis or the O.P.P. at the ad- dresses given below. Yqu do not need a long list of names. Ask your friends to sign. Circulate the petition at work or school. If you ‘sell magazines or own a bookstore, post a petition in your store. Please ask people- to priht their 6ame and give their address, in addition to signing. Have columns for this purflose. This will make fhe petitions Tuch more effective. ,

If you don’t want to do the uncomfortable jobs, go to the’employer that you want to work for, and.convince him that it’s to his advantage to hire you. Sell yourself!!! Don’t expect a job to be waiting on your doorstep as soon as exams are’over.

No student who goes lookiqg for summer employment is any more special than any other, and that’s a fact that each student should have to accept. If Miss Diane Chapitis wtints to accuse me of “mysticism”, that’s her perogative.

At the AIA Forum IaGt week, it was proposed that Trudeau’s statement that there were too. inany university graduates for the jobs available was not true. The true story was that there were not enough jobs.

Brilliant! ! !

ln,dividual letters may have an even greater impact. Write a brief note to Premier Davis, Queen’s Park, Toronto, M7A 1 Al. Or write O.P. P., Commissioner H.H. Graham, 90 Har- bour St., Toronto, M5C 1 C5.

The central point in this contro- versy is that the magazine has not been proved obscene.’ The O.P.P. - has simply “advised” the distributors that they will be charged if they dis- tribute it. After that it would be up to the courts, not. ttie pbtic’e, ‘to decide whether of not it is obscene. As it is, the distributors are holding the issue back only because it might be ruled obscene. This is an unaccept- ab’le situation. T,he police sho’uld have to prove in court that a magazine is obscene, before they cap pre- bent its distribution entirely. The magazine could be held by the distributors’ for a few weeks while the courts decided. But the present system is, in effect, police censorship without legal justificatioti.

Obviously, if there are too many applicants for a job, it alsd‘6eans that there are hot enough jobs fbr the number of applicants!

The problem, however, lies not in the number of actual idbs available. It lies in the fact that the Unions have decreed that 8 person.holding certain credentials must receite a certain salary for the work he does.

Because of this,.we hear of people being turned down f&r a job because of “over-qualification”! sim’ply because an employer does not want’ to, or cannot afford to, pay the required salary, because the work provided does not bring the necessary return for the.investment. ‘*

The only way for people to take any “blame” off themselves for not having a job is to blat?te it on the government. -

After all, everyone knows that the government can create any position simplyiby passing ah Order-in-Council!

If students wish to remain as students, they must realizelright nowfthat they &ill go through the same thing every summer, and after graduation. It will* be a long time for some before they find their niche after leaving school, simply because jobs don.‘t magically open up to accommodate a them.

Let me point out that I am in complete .agreement with those who want adult magazines out of the reach of children and out of ihe sight of those

’ dary institution dr join the work force. If (s)he then thinks that there is some sort of “right” adhering to this attendance, then the lack of inter- mittent or subsequent employment does not lie &ith,the employer, or the government,‘but with the student. \

Nobody has a “right” to anything. The “rights” thit we have, and the U.S. claims to be inalienable, are “privileges” which we possess because past members of our society have sacrificed to gain them., I *

’ If students want a job this summer, many of them will have to simil_arly sacrifice to get one, whether?t means taking a job, that is personally dis- tasteful, because of the type of job, or the work shift, or any number of other factors.

The.only job-related right that student’s have is the right to compete on the open market for any available job, along with other students and full-time members of-the work force.

The job market is competitive, and, until people are willing to do s,,It jobs for shit wades, it will remain so.

The Federation Office Manager (Helga) has stated that there is no

’ Presidential work-load increase over last year, yet, our President “cries” at fxecutivd meetings that his workload. is too much for him (in execu’ tive m@ute<). Moreover, these executive meetings are held in a manner which restricts elected council members attendance. Why? By whit authority are the student . elected representatives restricted from meetings which discuss Federation business?

The Federation Office Manager (Helga) has clearly established (fac- tually, that there is no by-law which even authorizes the formation *of an executive committee, let alone give it any authority or power to act and make decisions. Moreover, there is no council passed policy which has allocated any such formation or au- tonomy, yet this unconstitionalized (illegal?) committee does many things.

name. Your letter sdunds as if you discipline the serfs on the estate of your grandfather. Incidently, the nobil- ity does not belong in the proletarian party. The Marxists are usually very genetically winded on this point.)

I did not want to answer these few letters at all because they did not offer anything new to our understanding of how the world looks today. Then, I noticed that these letters are classical examples of the intimidation tech- nique used by Stalinists for the purpose of confusion. The analysis of these letters may therefore be useful.

The interesting feature in them is the use of terms such as “reactionary”, “viciously attacked” (Stalinists, in reference to themselves, “comradely criticise.” All others “viciously at- tack” ), etc. A typical part of Stalinist “argumentation” is so-called “argu- mentum ad hominem”. In Aristotelian logic, this is one of the faulty arguments in the discussion. Such is the situation when, due to the lack of proper argument, one is accused of being a homosexual, of cheating on one’s wife, etc. In our case, the omni- potent word is “reactionary”. If your adversary is a reactionary, one does not have to take his argument serious- ly, does one? The Stalinists developed this art to the perfection. Both name calling, such as fascist, revisionist, deviationist, right (or left) opportunist, and campaigns of hatred, intimidation and slander are used quite often. In order to discredit Alexander Dubcek after 1968, the Stalinists in Czecho- slovakia circulated a “photograph” of him in the nude with a well-known female pop singer. Compared with this, the accusation of antisocialist and anticommunist behaviour (letter of Chang and Cheng) is very innocent.

People who are not used to dealing with them are usually very easily dis- couraged. After being called for example a fascist pig, the ordinary reaction is, “Why should I waste time with these types?“, and one gives up. Then, they claim another “ideological victory in the struggle against capital- ism”. This is predictable and this is what I expected. In the past, ordinary, honest people were called, in the Chevron, “police spies”, “supporters of fascism”, etc., etc. All these titles leave me completely calm. In fact, I find them rather amusing.

I do not want to stress again my past personal experience, but everyone may imagine how it was when I had nothing to read but something like the “free” Chevron, with all those words, week after week, year after year. I was expected to quote from it to my students, to believe all those half-truths, lies and cursings, and to be silent. Finally, one develops a sense of reading between the lines. Behind all those “revisionists” and “reactionar- ies” is an inner insecurity of people who attempt to believe something they do not know very much about.

Otherwise, all the letters which were published are just a not very imaginative repetition of standard quotations. I personally have made fun of everything that is written in these letters since I was seventeen years old. I was, however, in a better position than the local guys. I had the opportunity to compare the theory with the practice of Stalinism. This is, I feel, the main point. One has not only to read the classics (as Frau von Bezold recommends) but also to see how the system works, or at least to study the evidence and testimony of the people who live (or lived) there. To judge the practice of Stalinism from the writings of Lenin, Stalin and Mao, and to exclusively use quotations from them, is like attempting to discover the truth about Watergate from Nixon’s pre-election speeches.

One of the problems is the confusion in the terminology. What we call communism today is far, far away from the term which Marx used as a description of the system where the basic needs of all individuals are satisfied adequately and where all people work for the society. That is why I distinguish between “Commu- nism” as an oppressive Stalinist system where the new ruling class replaced the old capitalists, and “communism” as one of the possibilities of the deveiopment of mankind. If you will talk with people who have just recently arrived from Communist countries (and I have met more than a few), they will tell you that it is here, and not over there, where we are much nearer to the real communism. The system of welfare, subsidized housing, unemployment pay men ts leaves only very few people behind

The exe-c$ive committee has in Mr. 6. Burton’s words - attempted to force him to resign in a “closed meeting”; attempted to remove his editorial veto power with the Real Chevron. Here it is important to note that Mr. Burton was hired by and given editorial veto power by students council (the complete, autono- mous elected authority under by- law (1) articles No. 10 and 1 1). Is this type of action that an uncon- stitutional, powerless committee should be taking - or is it an arrogant, disdainful attitude toward the students and their elected council? Unsatisfied with their lack of success in pressuring Mr. Burton to resign or remove editorial control from him (he complained to council and had it placed on the agenda), Mr. Hipfner and Mr. Dillon, executive members, appeared before the C.R.G. (Campus Reform Group) and attempted to pressure this group to vote (in block) against Mr. Burton at council. Why? It is clearly established that some executive members are attempting a “takeover”. In all these matters, there is factual support evidence. For example, the by-laws, the lack of authorizing policy for executive committee action, interview quotes derived from executive members in print in the newspaper, a written report in the newspaper, and witnesses.

When one investigates what our president does with his salaried time for, and in the interests of the student members (all of you), one un- covers many interesting facts. First, witnesses have made the following exceedrngly clear. Our president “sometimes appears at work by 11 a.m.; at other times, by 1 p.m.; yet at other times by 2 p.m.” (the Office and Business Manager’s, Helga and Pete) and my own personal obser- vations. Secondly, when the president is asked why he does not work at his office - he replies that he works elsewhere. Here, it is interesting to note, several students have observed our president in the Inte- grated Studies and other lounges - when asked why - he replies he “does not want to be bothered by people”. Now, “is this what students pay him $8.320.00 a year for?” Ob- viously he thinks so and yet cries about his work-load. What do you think? Are we getting our monies worth? Is this all we are entitled to?

I made the foregoing public at council meeting last night. I also made known many, many other areas of very questionable action by some executive members. The manner in which this was accomplished was delegation. Moreover, I moved that the president be removed from office and replaced by someone interested in earning his salary by working in students interests - rather than his own. However, our elected council defeated the motion and approved not only the presidents actions - but also the disgusting actions of the unconstitutionalized executive committee. Now, “is this what the students on this campus are entitled to?” Are we not entitled to responsible action on daycare problems, on departmental cut- backs (M-Environmental fighting without Federation support) etc., - you fill in your own priorities.

Our President did promise that he would answer the many serious dereliction charges made against him - before council. Furthermore, he promised that witnesses and evidence in support of the charges would be heard as well. Here, I wonder!

Our President was an executive member of the last council which passed a motion to investigate the Federation/Chevron conflct. yet nothing materialized: he is now president of this current council which has also processed a motion to investigate so students can be supplied with factual information to clear up their confusion; he attempts to remove opposition to his own goals at closed executive meetings, yet does nothing to fulfil1 the present investigative motion (investigation discussion developed nothing - in executive minutes); he fulfills his election promises of better Society/Federation communications and relations, Student/ Federation communications and relations, by effecting Society forced referendum for voluntary fees and my resignation as a councillor.

It has never been my experience in 47 years to witness such arrogant, disgusting disdain for people and

individuals as I have now witnessed and experienced by the current Fed- eration president and executive. More- over, C.R.G. members on council thought it was hilarious that anyone dared to question the executive and voted in block against removal of the president - and you the students that they represent.

In conclusion, two questions: Will the President fail to fulfil1 his promise for investigation of my charges against him before“ council - like he has failed to fulfil1 two separate councils’ motion to investigate the Federations actions and the Chevrons actions; What is he afraid of in a full, thorough investigation?

L. Smylie P.S. I have demanded a full detailed, itemized statement on every expenditure item: Will I receive it?

attacks

Smylie There are hardly words in the Eng-

lish language to describe my reaction to Mr. Smylie’s accusations about the Federation of Students. “Juven- ile paranoia” suits best.

All the questions Mr. Smylie raises have answers, and answers that I feel are very sound. With innuendo, paranoid suspicions and the assumption that everyone in the Federation IS dishonest, Mr. Smylie, by not both- ering to ask relevant authorities, cre- ates ‘an impression of gross impropriety. That assumption is both absurd and false, it is a most reprehensible brand of rumour-mongering.

The absurdity of the charges makes them hardly worth answering, but in this time when people seem to believe anything and/or everything about the Federation I will take time away from my other duties to present a full rebuttal.

Salaries and honoraria take up 53% of the budget. True. Salaries go for such things as a business manager, secretarial work, office manager, and yes, my salary.

These positions are full-time and absolutely essential for the continued operation of the Federation. Any large organization requires staff to do the necessary work to keep the organization going. Half of our budget goes to salaries. The university allots 82% of its budget to salaries and benefits. People resources are the most important of all and are indispensable to the organization if it tries to do anything other than merely disburse funds to other groups.

Salaried positions in the Feder- ation have been pared down con- sistently over the past few years and I feel our current budget pre- sents the ideal happy medium between salaried and non-salaried activities. If anything, we don’t have enough staff to take care of the workload.

The president is alloted $700.00 for entertainment. Although Mr. Smy- lie’s innuendo suggests that I use this for private parties that is anything but the case. The money has been used in past years to entertain society presidents at meetings, to buy pizza for a late night meeting when everyone is tired and hungry, to provide food for out-of town visit- ors in the pursuit of Federation business, etc.

Every penny is fully accounted for and a full explanation of any and every expenditure can and will be provided to any student making a request. If Mr. Smylie is suspicious of this budget, why doesn’t he ask for an explanation rather than spreading the unfounded rumour that I keep a fridge full of champagne for some unspecified purpose?

The question, “Is the staggering expenditure wasted for the benefits of only a few?” can be answered with a definite “No!!!“.

The societies’ request for a refundable fee does not equal an admission that money is being wasted. It seems to have become some sort of conventional wisdom that money is being wasted in the Federation. This charge is totally irresponsible unless those making the charge are willing to specify who is wasting it and where.

As I’ve’ mentioned, the Federation

Mr. Smylie has investigated what the president “does”. Office manage- ment workload has not increased, according to Helga, the office manager. It would be more accurate to say that the ‘over-workload’ may not have increased. Ask any of our past presidents about the workload.

From the moment I get up in the morning until I go to bed at night I am living, breathing, and eating Fed- eration of Students, usually seven days a week. Council meetings and Executive meetings, Committee of Presidents’ meetings and consultation with councillors and executive take up a great deal of time. I spend several hours a day on the phone talking to students with problems and inquiries, another while with budgeting and bookkeeping. There are agendas to discuss and write, councillors’ ideas to talk over and follow up, city council agendas and minutes to keep on top of, Board of Governors and Senate meetings to keep up with. I have been charged with spending time in Biology or Psychology lounges “studying”. That’s true. The pace of the Fed office is hectic, and if I’m to go over a Senate agenda (I am also a member of Senate) without an interruption every fifteen minutes, then I have to go to a quiet place to work.

The pace of the president’s job is gruelling. There are many matters I’d like to spend more time on than I am able to. As it is, finding an hour or two here or there for something as mundane as doing my laundry sometimes takes days. Yet Mr. Smy- Ire loves nothing more than to present the image that I’m sitting around twiddling my thumbs all day, just because I won’t spend an unlimited amount of time subjecting myself to his verbal abuse. Whether or not there has been an increase in the President’s workload since last year is not the point. The point is that the President’s office has involved more work than can be handled in a fifteen hour day for years!

Mr. Smylie mentions quite accur- ately that the Executive Board has no by-law governing it. He then says that it does many things. He then asks What and Why? How does he know that it does many things when he has to ask what it does?

The Executive Board is, as Mr. Smylie would have been told, had he asked, an informal consultative body. What it does is talk about Fed- era tion activities, problems, new programs, how to organize certain programs, etc. etc. Is Mr. Smylie suggesting that we need a by-law to permit us to talk to each other?

The Executive Board has no legal or constitutional decision-making power and takes no formal decisions. We often make recommendations to Council. Is Mr. Smylie asking that we not do this? Is he unaware of any reason why we need to talk to each other? In fact, what the Hell is he getting at?

The accusation that the Executive Board tried to force Mr. Burton to resign is an outright lie, plain and simple.

The ‘clearly established’ intent of the executive to take over the real chevron is not only utterly absurd but ENTIRELY without foundation. mere idle speculation and gossip which has no place in responsible student government.

Mr. Smylie feels that much of the Federation’s activities are questionable. If Mr. Smylie is unaware of what we are doing he could ask. If he did he would be told. When, however his method of inquiry is a motion of non-confidence based on the fact that he doesn’t know everything that-is going on and has some questions about it, one has to ask a few penetrating questions about his san- ity.

If one is ignorant of the operations of an organization, is it not better to ask questions than assume that the fact that no public announce-

The innuendo that Mr. Smylie makes is that hrs own ignorance of the Federation and neglect to bother asking questions indicates gross impropriety and is indicative of the style of this obnoxious gentle- man.

It has never been my experience in 24 years to witness such arrogant, disgusting disdain for simple human and political relationships as Mr. *Smylie has displayed.

Normally if one has a question, one asks before presuming guilt. Normally, human beings are able to listen to others which speak their own language. Normally, human beings are capable of thinking, of discerning between rumour and evidence, between gossip and fact and between childishness and responsible action. Unfortunately Mr. Smylie is incapable of these basic human functions, so wild is his paranoid imagi- nation. so overblown is his own sense of self-importance, so disrespect- ful is he of any opinion but his own.

Mr. Smylie is a costly farce. He has taken an incredible number of hours of Council’s time blabbering jibberish. He is a large part of the reason ‘why the current Council has been slow in reacting to certain problems, so much time is spent listening to the Gospel according to Smy- lie.

If there is a communication problem in the Federation, a part of it, and a large part of it, stems from Mr. Smylie’s favourite pastime of strutting into the Federation office to shout the ears off anyone who doesn’t have the spirit to tell him to shove it. Day in and day out I sit in my office listening to Mr. Smylie’s hysterical hollering outside my door. When I ask him to keep his voice down he looks innocently at me and asks “Was I shouting?” Whereupon he proceeds with his shouting.

Numerous councillors have complained to me that they find it very unpleasant to visit the Federation office because they do not wish to be submitted to Mr. Smylie’s proselytization on his own ego.

-The cost to the Federation of Mr. Smylie also includes the total absence of effective representation to the students of Renison College for whom he was representative until Sunday night. A man with the social skills of a skunk cannot pos- sibly represent anyone in a democratic organization that depends on consultation, communication, and compromise to function effectively. He who demands all or nothing and considers himself more important than anyone else in the world will soon find himself with nothing.

No respect, no credibility. That’s where Mr. Smylie is now.

from Reinis A few weeks ago I published a

letter in the Chevron explaining that contemporary Communist systems in Europe and Asia are essentially class societies where the situation of the class of employees (blue-collar and 1 white-collar workers) is much worse than the situation of the class of employees in the so-called capital- ist system. From this viewpoint, the Communist systems are, at present, unable to develop into a society which gives the individual a maximal freedom for his intellectual and moral development.

I expected a response from those who call themselves “progressives” (although they are not, because they promote a social system which is against people, anti-democratic and anti-social). The response which I got was surprisingly mild, and the writers of the letters, Mr. Mills, Mr. Chang and Mr. Cheng, obviously did not grasp the main points of my discussion. I also found a few points in the letter of Charlotte von Bezold which I consider interesting.

(Charlotte, the next time you start to tutor the “Canadian people” about what to do and what to study, omit that feudal predicate “von” from your

This confusion is deliberately abused by Stalinists in order to push their own cause. I believe that there are many people in all those parties, maoists, trotskyists, pro-soviet Com- munists, who deeply believe that they are helping a good thing. This is a misunderstanding on their part. They believe literally what Marx, Engels, Lenin, Stalin and Mao wrote. Some- times it really sounds great. The truth, i.e. the real application of the theory, is, however, different. All those who are sincere in their belief find sooner or later that they were fooled by irresponsible propaganda. If not now, they will find out later, after the Stal- inist takeover. Recently, I received some direct personal news from Viet- nam. Even the local communists themselves do not agree with what is going on there today.

Stalin could not have been an inno- Lenin is not guilty for all that is going on now.

april 7, 1977 whrch aroused protest and hatred

The revolutionary actions in Kron- stadt in Russia in 192 1, in East Ger- many and Pilsen in 1953, in Hungary and Poland in 1956, in Novocherkassk in 1964 and in Czechoslovakia in 1968 were all revolutions of the working classes against the ruling mono- polistic, bureaucratic class. The 150,- 000 Czechs and Slovaks who emi- grated from Czechoslovakia in 1968 were blue-collar workers, students and intellectuals. There were no capitalists in that country for twenty years. One has to believe either that all of them were bribed by Western imperialists (which is nonsense) or that they simply felt the pressure of the class oppressive system and pre- ferred the uncertain life in exile.

If you want to study the personality of Lenin, do not ask for information from the official Stalinist propaganda. Try to find a historian who is an independent witness. One such person is Solzhenitsyn. His book, “Lenin in Zurich” is great, but it is indirect testimony. Another, the most impar- tial witness, is Angelica Balabanoff. She was a collaborator with Lenin for many years, an old Bolshevik, one of the first secretaries of the Commu- nist International, a participant in the revolution of 1917, in short, a true inside witness. She wrote a most re- markable book, “Impressions of Len- in”, after she left Russia.

Here are a few quotations. “It must be emphasized that

however vast the number of crimes against humanity for which Bol- shevism is responsible, however many the victims and enemies of the regime Lenin founded, no one has ever doubted Lenin’s own complete unselfishness and abneg- ation. This quality reflects the im- measurable distance between Lenin the dictator, conscious of his calling as executor of the final ver- dict of history, and other dictators imbued with and guided by their own petty egos.

vator like Lenin. Bolshevism as doctrine and as antithesis to socialism was entirely Lenin’s creation.

Lenin - let me reiterate- was a man of incomparable courage. Even in his youth he defied doctrines, theories, and traditions: it was a battle of one against all. When he felt impelled to act he did so alone, antagonized by his collaborators,

The University of Waterloo is being mentioned in the news

One reason why the Stalinists use their weird language and inappropri- ate arguments, as we have seen in those few letters, is, of course, their lack of knowledge of the real situation. Another reason is that initiative from below is something unusual in their party. Only the Leader may decide what arguments may be used. If the party member puts something together on his own, he may easily become a deviationist himself! Thus, if you ever discuss social problems with the Communists, and you get the usual shower of quotations, do not be angry. The discipline of their party does not allow them to tell more, and if you push them into independent thinking, you may get them into trou- ble. And anyhow, problems which are not explained in the classics do not exist for them. That is also one of the reasons why a real dialogue with them is impossible.

Under Stalin the brutalization of the masses assumed frightening proportions. Yet he merely hastened the morale debacle of the regime, us- , ing the methods introduced by Lenin.

I knew many guys like that. The Charter 77, a document requiring nothing but the fulfillment of the Hel- sinki agreements in Czechoslovakia, was signed for example by former members of the Communist Party such as Pave1 Kohout, L. Vaculik and others.

In 1950. Pave1 Kohout wrote a song saying, “Tomorrow, people will dance everywhere, when our victorious red flags will climb on the flagpoles of the world”. Today, he is a dissident. That shows how the honest people develop.

But; let us return to that letter of Chang and Cheng. Their letter reminds me of a well-intentioned, but rather mindless endeavour by the members of a church committee who repeat,

’ without deeper understanding, the ideas of their beloved pastor. The writers used a series of quotations from Marx in which they were trying to show the antagonistic character of our society. I did not challenge that! I am only showing that the same, and e’ven more intensive, antagonism developed in the Stalinist countries as well.

The Stalinists believe that the revolution will solve all problems everywhere. They are unable to grasp that the laws governing the development of the society are still valid, objective- ly and independently of their wish, and sometimes in direct contradiction to their intentions, after the revolution. In order to conceal this, Stalin liquidated Soviet sociology, and still today, most data obtained by sociologists in the “socialist” countries are secret.

The situation of the working classes in the Stalinist countries is worse than here. They do not have any organization protecting them. The Party, the trade unions etc. are oppressive organizations for them. Kuron and Modzel- ewski (1965)’ write about this in “Revolutionary Marxist Students in Poland Speak out”:

“In 1962. each industrial worker created on the average a product with a net value of 7 1.000 zlotys, from which he received an average of 22.000 zlotys in the form of wages. In other words, during a third of the workday the workers produced their own n ecessa ry minimum living wage and during the other two-thirds they create surplus product.

The working class has no control over the size of this surplus product, or over the way it is apportioned, or the uses to which it is put; for, as we

. have already seen, it has no say in the decisions of the authorities who control the means of production and production itself. It is not the workers who decide on the wage rate; this is handed down to them from above along with production quot- as Workers have neither the right nor opportunity to defend themselves economically; for, as we have seen, they have been deprived of organization, the absolute pre- requisite for any effective strike action. Any organizing agreement

.among workers to fight for higher wages is illegal and, as such, is prosecuted by the apparatus of repression: the police, the judges, the courts. The surplus product is thus taken from the workers by force in proportions not of their own choosing and used in ways they cannot control.” And this is my point. Now do you

understand it, Mssrs. Chang and Cheng? From this viewpoint, it is possible to also answer other problems.

It is amusing th t the AIA recently organized a 3 discus ion about Lenin’s book “Imperialism-last stage of capi-

The existence of a strong oppressive Stalinist system also brings many problems to us here. The ordinary people (Stalinists call them the pro- letariat or working classes) who are in the class society are exposed to two forces. One is their own capital- ist class, a still developing and still important factor in social development. The other is the ruling bureaucratic class in the countries which call themselves communist and socialist, although they are not. This class now devotes about 40% of the gross national product (in the U.S.S.R.) to military expansion with the aim of destroying the freedoms of those 90% who the maoists call the “pro- letariat”. The existence of this enemy, and his allies in the Western world, distorts the development of the free countries and directly provokes the necessity of the antidemocratic mea- sures here. We have to protect our- selves against them, and therefore we have to limit the free movement of people across the border. When we read an article against the government, we have to ask “who wrote it and why?“, our police have to prevent their terrorist and antidemocratic actions, and thus, we have to give up a part of our freedom<. Therefore the existence of different Stalinist regimes and their allies among us has a direct anti-humanitarian effect on our society.

Our society is brutalized. The development of Nazism in Germany and McCarthyism in the USA were in direct causal relationship to the existence of ruthless antidemocratic “Communist” systems.

The Stalinists claim that in the course of history, socialism and communism will eventually win. Maybe; but that will be a system different from the Stalinist idea of socialism and communism. The philosophy and practice of present-day Stalinist countries make them a side-line of the development of man kind, dinosaurs of history which will eventually die out.

I was also disciplined by Mr. V. Mills because I did not describe adequately the personality of Lenin. It would be nice if Mr. Mills could. tell us where his information is coming from. One must not forget that in the system of controlled information and deception, everything that the Stalin- ists say is a potential lie. The wishful thinking of some people in the West helps to spread the lies even further. Daily I see in the Psychology department the picture of fatherly Lenin greeting me with a friendly smile.

After Stalin’s crimes became widely known, the Soviet propaganda started to use the image of Lenin more and more. The myth of Lenin reached enormous proportions. Even the dissidents in the East believe that

Friends and foes, disciples and adversaries often identify Lenin’s intention with the outcome of his action. True, Lenin was a man all of one piece; Qis mind and temper- ament made him embrace a specific cause and conceive a particular plan. Through his will, he was able to subject to this plan all men and all things. But under careful scru- tiny the outcome, object and disastrous as it was, shows that a man’s will, even when guided by uncommon intelligence, firmness of purpose, and exceptional courage cannot triumph in defiance of the basic laws of social development. From this point of view, Lenin’s life is an immense tragedy. In Goethe’s phrase, it can be said of Lenin that “he desired the good and created evil,” and both in unsurpassable measure.” One characteristic of Lenin became

disastrous during history. Balabanoff says:

“Lenin made the decisions, the professional revolutionists carried them out, the workers obeyed. This concept, far from being Marxist or democratic,. created the demarca- tion line between the doctrine and practice of Bolshevism and the democratic forms of proletarian organizations in all civilized countries. Holding in little account the conscious action of the masses, Lenin attributed great importance to the obedience of those few called upon to bring the workers to the point at which, according to him, they could not arrive by their

own strength. Each of those whom he considered capable and on whose blind obedience he could count had to be a sort of traveling handbook of Bolshevism.

This was the reason for Lenin’s violent hatred of those intellectuals who attacked his point of view. If they were not Bolsheviks, they had to be fought, isolated, slandered.” Probably the most important from

our contemporary viewpoint was this: “One was faced with a puzzling

psychological situation. Lenin was neither blind nor indifferent to the harm personal dishonesty might do to the movement, yet he used individuals who were the scum of humanity. This system, exported by the Bolsheviks to all countries of the world and exerting its deleter- ious influence everywhere, requires closer examination if one wants to understand the nature and scope of communism then and now.” The enormous tragedy of Lenin

and his work is summarized in the following quotation from Balabanoff:

“It must be conceded that without Lenin there would have been no Stalin, even if Stalin was only a monstrous caricature of the founder of Bolshevism. From the very beginning of his career as a revolu- tionist Stalin embraced Lenin’s theory and methods; the repulsive traits he revealed as a dictator were developed under Lenin’s regime. The apparatus devised by Lenin made it possible for individuals like Stalin to develop their innate wick- edness. Given his intellectual in- significance and lack of initiative,

Stalin entered history as a person- ification of violence and terror. And this characterization is justified. But we must not forget that even in the spreading of terror he was Lenin’s disciple. The Stalin pseudo- trials of the old-guard Bolsheviks,

* Applied Math goes Co-op for first time - Though thk University of Wa-

terloo’s Faculty of Mathematics has been offering co-operative programs for 10 years one of its departments, t+he department of applied mathematics has “gone- co-op” for the first time this year. (Co-op programs are those in which students alternate between their campus studies and work terms in industry, business or in ptiblic service, usually every four months. They take longer to complete their programs but the students get some work experience, plus income, as they move along. )

The applied math department enrolled its first “co-opers” last September. At present all 30 of them are off on work terms.

“It’s a new experience ‘for us,” admits Prof. Arthur Beaumont, chairman of the department, “par- ticularly since these students are involved in a rather special program that hasn’t existed until now..”

There is nothing new about the subjects they are taking, he has- tens to add; they’ve been available for years. What’s new is the idea of offering them as a package arrangement, and tieing the package in with the co-op system.

“The students would have been able to take the courses all along,” agrees Prof. Ian McGee, also of applied math: “However, they would have had to make the appropriate selections themselves and in truth, many of them would never have appreciated the ad-

vantages of these particular selections. ”

Basically, the packages con- sist of a core of mathematics subjects plus a variety of engineering subjects that are to be taken as “electives.”

“Our hope is that these engineering electives will equip these students to interact ’ better with the technological and scientific community,‘1 says Prof. Beau- mont.-“We are not educating them to become pseudo engineers. They will be applied mathematicians. But, they should be able to relate

’ better to the real life problems of the engineer.”

He notes that it is not the function of the program to qualify people for professional engineering certificatlbn through the As- sociation of Professional Engi- neers of Ontario.

“There are many situations in industry and government where the ability to come up with a mathematical solution to a problem is very important indeed,” says Prof. McGee. “This involves making a number of simplifying as-

sumptions, but the simplifications have to be done in such a way that the results of your calculations can be put to use. You have to be able to use them to interpret and to predict.

“In other words, the more close- ly the mathematician’s assump- tions correspond to the real world the better his solutions will be as far as the engineer is concerned. There’s no use in coming up with a nice. neat mathematical solution that can’t be applied.”

Prof. Beaumont says that before launching the new program, which is a four year honours program, he spent several months visiting potential employers of the students, finding out what their needs are. The program was dis- cussed at considerable length within both his faculty and the Faculty of Engineering, he says.

“We received a great deal of assistance from engineering, ” he says. .

Students will not begin taking their engineering electives until they have completed two work terms. That is, for the group who came into the program last Sep- tember and who are now on work terms, the first engineering op-. tions will be available beginning in January, 1978. .

By then, it is hoped, the students will have some idea as to what engineering areas they wish to specialize in. They can choose one of five available packages of engineering options. These are : (1) an option relating to “struc- tural and solid mechanics” offered jointly by the departments of civil and mechanical engineering; (2) a “physical systems analysis and synthesis” option offered through the department of systems design ; ( 3 ) a ‘ ‘ thermofluid mechanics” option offered by the department of mechanical engineering; (4) a “devices, networks and communications” option offered through the department of electrical engineering and (5) a “power systems and control” option also offered through the department of electrical engineering.

The point is, once the student has made his or her -selection there is no switching back and forth. The student wi!l have to stick with it.

Even when it comes to mathematics per se, the students will be encouraged to get a broad per- spective, Prof. Beaumont says. They will be encouraged to take computer science, statistics and optimization subjects, as well as those taught within the depart-

ment of applied mathematics which include fluid dynamics, relativity, quantum mechanics and differential equations.

An important group of studies within the department -of applied mathematics involves students in learning to build ma thematical models that can be applied to real life situations.

“Suppose, for instance, the speedometer on your car is cali- brated to show exactly how fast you’re going when the tires are new,” proposes Prof. McGee. “What will happen is that after you’ve driven a bit and worn half an inch off the tire treads it will show you’re going 60 when in fact you’re going a tiny bit less than thati Or, the odometer will show you’ve gone 100 miles when in fact you’ve gone slightly less.

down half an inch, or three quart- ers of an inch, or whatever. Of course, it’s not all that important to know that in ordinary driving situations, but there are many situations in industry, or in government, where the ability to solve those kinds of problems is very important.

“YOU might want to build a mathematical model that would explain how the Canadian econ- omy, or part of it, functions; or

to explain some statistical data; or to understand some phendme- non within the biological sciences, and so on. What is needed is a mathematician who can relate to whatever the problem is in a very practical way. ”

Students on work terms at this time are with a number of well- known companies . . . IBM, Into, General Motors and Gulf Oil, to name but a few. Sotie are also with the civil service in Ontario.

“Damn reports ! Always these damn reports ! If there’s one thing I hate about this job, outside of the people and the climate it’s having to do these bloody reports on every little thing that happens. ’ ’

The clerk continued with his work, although he thought it senseless, because he feared the consequences of what might happen. if he failed to file a report about something that his superiors might hear about from some other source.

He had been toasted at ban- quets and honoured by Octa- vian himself, following the battle of Actium, at which he became a Hero of the Republic. And, because of his ability to write, he had been given the position of Chief Historian of the Eastern Sector of the Roman Empire.

A nice title, he thought, but still a clerk’s job!

No-one had ever found out

istorian’ - a. short story that it was not he who had fought so bravely in the turret at Actium, single-handedly holding more than a dozen of Antony’s men at bay, when they tried to board Octavia0 ship, but his close friend, Avol- tius. He had actually ‘d. been cowering in fear, afraid to‘ take up his station in the turret, behind some crates. It had been his friend who had occupied the position and exemplified himself so gallantly.

to realize that Avoltius could provided some break from the monotony of this place, and this job.

to their homes. “And the body itself has dis-

appeared”, he thought, reading further along in the report.

He must have had rich friends, to be buried in such wealth that it was worthwhile for grave robbers to steal his body.

But the natives were not rich. and grave robbing sometimes proved to be a lucrative profession in this barren place.

He had heard rumours from his supervisor, the Chief His- torian of the Roman Empire. that he might soon be summon- ed to Rome, to serve in the palace.

As Antony’s troops were being defeated, however, he saw his friend fall, fatally wounded, by a slash from the last enemy, who Avoltius then slew, with his dying effort. It was then that he ran to the turret, to see after his fallen comrade, and it was there that he was found, and mistaken for the soldier who had so bravely defended the position.

At first, he tried to deny that it was he, but he quickly came

“This year I’m gonna finish off the basement!”

One way to do it! The village of Ban Hai, in Thai-

land is unique from the rest of the world in one respect; everyone is building a second house. The purpose of this construction is for resale.

This does not mean that the village is undergoing a population boom. On the contrary, the population growth is not outstanding, either in itself or when compared to any others.

The village is surrounded by Teak forests. But the villagers are forbidden by law to sell this valuable wood to the Chinese dealers who drive up from the city of Chiang Mai.

The law, however, does not prevent them from selling their house.

So a second house is built, which is then sold to the dealers, who

, dismantle it and keep the lumber, leaving the house frames standing.

Each house sells for between $250 and $500, depending on size, quality, and the bargaining of each villager. This is what most villagers could earn in a year.

In the big cities, only doors and window frames are made from the valuable wood. But in this small village, even the floor and roof is made from the beauti- ful brown which is popular around the world.

The villagers explain their constant building by telling the

authorities that they need more room for their growing children, since they normally have large families.

And so the village is constantly ringing with sounds of hammer and saw as the villagers rebuild a house which will be sold over and over. The nails, however, are hammered in very lightly, so that the wood can be easily removed, undamaged, to make room for the next outer covering.

This is not the original meaning of the term, “cottage industry”, but it applies.

not benefit from his deed, so why should he not?

As a result, when Octavian was made Caes;rr of the entire Roman Empire, the first thing he did was to reward the soldier who had defended his life from the enemy. His reward was the title of Chief Historian. His job was to preserve to posterity the events of part of the empire. What luck that he was one of the few of the heroes able to write!

“Luck! ” he thought, “maybe bad luck; I should have held out for a position in the capitol. After all, I was the big- gest hero of the battle.”

He returned to his work, re- cording the incidents of a re- cent earthquake, and the mur- der that occurred during it. He had problems ‘getting all the facts straight, because of the conflicting reports from his various informants.

“These damn natives”, he thought, “they always bring their pagan religion into every event, and I only have to try and get some sort of sense out of their superstition.”

He had taken a wife shortly before coming to his new post. After all, it would be a lonely life, in a foreign land, even for so great a hero!

Fourteen years she had been his wife. Fourteen years before she had died. Died, because of this accursed climate! ! She was never strong, even in Rome. How could she be expected to stand up to the climate of this God-forsaken hole?

Fourteen year married. It was unfortunate that she had proved barren; perhaps a son, or even a daughter, would have

He realized that he had been day-dreaming, and returned tc his work.

On one point the reports were agreed - the method of death; it was barbaric, but it was a popular means of killing in this uncivilized land.

“The Governor had the chance! ” he thought, “he should have stepped in at the start, when he had the chance! ”

It was rumoured that the Governor was a puppet of the Imperial Crown, and his actions bore strength to this view. He certainly had no initiative of his own, else he would have stepped in to stop the killing, with soldiers, if necessary. ’

But that was the way of the empire, now ; .political pay-offs, rather than rewards earned by valour and talent.

He read. the report from his most accurate informant. It was unfortunate that he had to rely on informants. But he could not hope to gain the information by himself - the people did not trust any Roman, no matter what the reason. But paying informants was so expensive! Although it did mean less trav- elling around. But that was made up by the continuous interpretation of events that ’ they kept injecting into their reports.

“Damn them, anyway!” he thought.

This one’s reports told in great detail of the riots during which the stranger was killed, and the earthquake and storms that occurred following the riots, sending everyone scattering

“I hope it comes soon”, he thought.

At 47 years of age, he had served the Republic, and then the Empire, for a long time. He. deserved an easy retire- ment !

“But these damn reports”, he thought. “If only something of some importance would happen, instead of these constant reports of cultural dis- agreements, of no interest to anyone outside of the society. I must have sent thousands of these things back to Rome in the years I’ve been here, and they’re probably all filed in some insignificant file of insignificant facts, where this report here will probably end up!

“Oh, well - it won’t be for much longer, I suppose!

apri17, 1977 naak 10 - the real chevron

Photo contest announced-- It’s now exactly 5:00 am, exactly, on the morning of the last day of

my term as editor of the real’ chevron. It’s also the last day, I suppose of the real chevron, too. Chris Wheatly is reading a magazine on the couch, and I’ve just finished laying out every column inch of the paper. Tomorrow (later today), I’ll find out where I mis-calculated. I’d like to thank everyone who contributed to any of the 17 issues. The real chevron was not what a student newspaper should be like - that can only come with a sizeable staff, which we (I) did not have. I can now study for my last exam, a week today, and then do absolutely nothing all summer, except coach track in Oakville. Of course, I think I might (yawn) sleep a lot (z-z-z-z-z-z-z)!

l guess that everyone’s heard by now that Brigitte Bardot made the exodus to the area where the great seal hunt takes place every year, and clutched a baby harp seal to her breast.
