Three-day parliament dissolved before NESP-PC coalition toppled
By ANDY RODGER
The three-day Model Parliament was dissolved last Friday before a confidence motion could bring down the government.
The government, a Progressive Conservative - National Existential Student Party coalition, was led bo of office by Conservative Lawr ence Portigal, law 3, before a reso- lution on conservatism could be decided on. The coalition had been formed Wednesday night, when it Was apparent that NESP and the Conservatives had much in com- mon,

Canada ee own identity VGWv teach-in panel claims
American infl strong American intluence By DON MOREN Canadian identity is being dominated by an affluent liberal society originating in the United States Canadians must feel committed to a own country if Can- ada is to develop an identity of its own.
The lack of identity this country has means that we still have an op- portunity to develop a better soci- ety than that of the United States.
Canada can strengthen her own identity by developing her role in international affairs
These were the ehh ideas ex- pressed by the four members of the first panel at the teach-in, * ‘Canada: Sovereign or Satellite” held at the University of Alberta Saturday.
The panel consisted of George Grant, Head of the Department of Religion at McMaster University and author of the controversial book “Lament for a Nation”; Laur- ier LaPierre, host on CBC’s “This Hour has Seven Days” and Execu- ris Director of French Canada Studies Program at McGill Univer- sity; Gad Horowitz, Professor of Political Science at McGill Univer- sity; and John Matheson, Parlia- mentary Secretary to Prime Min- ister Pearson.
THE AFFLUENT SOCIETY
George Grant opened his talk by identifying the affluent liberal society as the swallower of Cana- dian identity.
Grant claimed most people in Canada want a part of this predom- inantly American society.
He noted the opposition to this liherdlans in Quebec will soon die just as it has in English-speaking Canada.
Grant then described the United States Position in the Vietnam war as “genocide”.
e affluent liberal society is willing to pay this price and, in do- ing so, is becoming a “terrible” and
“inhuman” society. He called it an
“enormous crisis” and that the only sensible alternative for Canada is to give up this inhuman society.
Laurier LaPierre began by stat- ing: “Canadian identity is ridicul- ous to talk about at any time, ab- surd to consider at 9:30 in the morning and futile to speak about in English.”
He went on to say that “what I say at this teach-in has nothing to do with the CBC because Parlia- ment is sitting and the ladies of Al-
erta are sitting.”
LaPierre labelled Canada’s iden- tity as “an identity so caught up in bat we refuse to be. The premise that we are not Americans makes our identity negative.
FAILURE NOT REALIZED
“We have failed to realize the magnitude of our failure because we have refused to express our- selves positively ... the basic needs
of the Canadian people have been
gimmicked by political power. We, the people, have been left out in left field.”
He described the French and English societies within the coun- try as “two great ghettos”.

Tenure dispute drags on
By RALPH MELNYCHUK
As the Murray-Williamson ten- ure dispute enters its eighth week, negotiations for some sort of settle- ment are still dragging on.
Both professors pave charged that the debate now raging in the ‘let- ters to the editor? column of The Gateway has clouded rather than clarified the issues involved.
They both had previously refused to make public statements, claiming they had been advised that doing this would be prejudicial to their case. However, now they say they must speak to clarify matters.
In a statement Sunday, Colwyn Williamson said:
“This talk about poe discussing the matter in public is coming to seem completely hypocritical. My silence has been exploited in order to launch a whispering campaign
against me, to spread scandalous
fabrications about my philodoshaed! and teaching competance, and vile lies about my personal conduct.” .
Mr. Murray also expressed ree grets that silence had not been kept by those directly involved.
“As for ‘the campaign of vin- dictiveness, vilification, and sland- er’ (Gateway, Feb. ee P 2)—if Prof. Mardiros is a candidate for the title of Most Vilified Phioakee he has strong ena from William- son and m o the tenure com- mittee, Ka: cones damaging op- inions of our teaching and writing, neither of hich he ae investigat- ed, and he repeated them to persons inside and outside the department and to the CBC. What kind of ‘sil- ence’ is this?” he asked.
Mr. Murray tees those By claimed he, iamson, and Ten. nessen were ndteeces of narrow thought.
“We, and others, have ones that a carefully planned program compatible with fruitful diversity of opinion, and essential to the de- velopment of students who take - philosophy seriously; we presup- posed the ‘unrestricted freedom for such discussions’ to which Prof. Price aia Nee refers; and we were sacked,” aid.

Host of ‘Seven Days’ raps Socreds, tenure and doctors
By AL SCARTH
CBC’s Laurier LaPierre is a man afraid
The controversial host on This Hour Has Seven Days says he fears the indoctrination program called Social Credit, the shocking prob- lem of tenure at the University of Alberta, the brutalization of Que- bec by religion, and the nauseating picture of the medical profession.
e Director of French-Canada Studies at McGill lashed out at dis- crimination by Ontario physicians against Asian doctors.
LaPierre claims doctors are dis- criminatory, close-mouthed, close- shopped. “Darling, I’m sorry, but there IS discrimination against for-
eign doctors in Sane if they are -
Asiatics,”’ he sa
U of A, he ‘says, is a frightening university. e is an anxiety here that is unproductive; an at- mosphere very close to fear. I would not come to this university even if especially asked to do so.
The government does not really be- -
lieve in higher education; in Al- berta it is more important to be- lieve than to know
r. LaPierre was in Edmonton to address students at a Varsity Guest Weekend Teach-in. GREATEST PROBLEM
He told The Gateway Canada’s greatest problem is not of identity
ut of commitment
“We are afraid to take risks, to commit ourselves in order to achieve what we want,” he said.
Canada there seems to be something missing to move people. The great drawback of this coun- try is its moderation. We're dead! We're dead! We're dead!
“There is a ghettoish bunch from my province who are involved in contemplating their belly-buttons and thinking things are great just because they are French,” he said.
Mr. LaPierre said all national parties are plagued by a great Can- adian dilemma, “the existence of many millions of people to the south who are more dynamic, more enthusiastic, and richer than we are.
Gimmicks such as Teach-ins, says LaPierre, waste toa much time. hy not channel our enthusi-
ment and act?” al derstand the Indian peers is fantastic in Alberta.

“We used to have a stronger na- tional feeling,” he sai

provincial government blunder
A provincial educational research program has been scrapped at least temporarily, and educationists are raising the first major storm of pro- test seen so far against Education Minister Randolph McKinnon in his 18 months in office.
lt is on Randolph McKinnon‘s shoulders that blame must fall for the government's decision to aban- don the program, considered by many to be the key to giving educa- tion in the province a new sense of direction. Earlier statements from the minister and from Premier E. C. Manning indicated that the govern- ment agrees, in principle, that re- search is necessary to education.
Spokesman for public education bodies now say they are baffled by the government's sudden turnabout, which has dashed previously buoy- ant hopes for a start on education research this year.
The government's attitude is per- haps best summed up by Mr. Mc- Kinnon‘s statement last week to a Calgary newspaperman: “We don’t want to rush into this sort of thing.” The government, he says, wants more time to study the implic- ations of research:
Rubbish. By making its decision not to proceed with a program simil- ar to one already operating in On- tario, the government has ignored the advice of every educational or- ganization in the province.
For example, late last year, a Special committee representing trustees, teachers, home and school organizations, department of educ- ation and the faculties of education at both Alberta university campuses, presented a brief to the government on the need for an educational stu- dies and development council. That brief presented in some detail pro- posals for educational research.
But apparently the government has decided to take the easy way
a hard job well
Varsity Guest Weekend this year was an unqualified success.
For the first time in recent years, members of the university commun- ity have made a sincere attempt to mirror themselves for the society which foots the bills for post second- ary education in Alberta.
Perhaps the best example of this new approach to the annual circus formerly called VGW was Saturday's teach-in. For several hours, campus
out, and avoid spending time pre-’
paring legislation to set up the in- stitute. Thursday's Throne Speech contained few, if any surprises; most of the legislation mentioned in it has been public knowledge for many months. Yet the Minister of Edu- cation claims that time ran out for the government on preparing the needed legislation, and has the tim- erity to suggest that a bill could not be prepared midway through the Legislative session.
And what would an educational research institute cost Albertans? Dr. H. T. Coutts, dean of education at the University of Alberta, has said an initial government grant of
between $100,000, and $200,000
aul
$1 to $2 million to maintain such a centre.
Surely it is the department of edu- cation’s role to assist educationists to do more and to do it better in the whole field of education. There is certainly little evidence here of Mr. McKinnon‘s department providing much _ leadership in education through research.
Few can argue that it is respons- ible for a provincial government to spend $115 million per year on ed- ucation, as Alberta’s is this year, without showing any apparent con- cern as to the direction education is
oing. Not one penny is being allocated in Alberta to evaluate the current school system and find ways through research so that we may im- prove opportunities for all children in the province.
And educational opportunity is something which definitely must be improved in Alberta. An:educational research institute would be a con- crete step toward improving the edu- cational system to the point where universal accessibility would be more than just a comfortable phrase.
done
visitors were given an apportunity to concentrate on ideas and opinions— the stuff of the university—instead of our institution’s sprawling physi- cal plant. :
Mr. William Thorsell, Miss Eliza- beth Kostash, Mr. Peter Boothroyd, and their band of VGW workers are to be commended for a hard job well done.
Hopefully, next year’s VGW com- mittees will equal the job which was turned in this year.

The author, David Murray, is one of two University of Alberta philosophy professors who have been embroiled for more than seven weeks in a dispute regard- ing their denial of tenure.
—tThe Editor
pa pe eS To The Editor:
As you know, I’ve preferred to say nothing in public about the denial of tenure to Prof. Williamson and my- self. The discussion in your columns is, however, in danger of concealing the central issue in the case. 1 don’t want it to vanish.
The issue is, and has always been, this: what sort of training in philo- sophy is the Philosophy Department to offer students? Every one of the now famous explosions in the department, last November, arose from debate over this vital question. As it happens, Williamson and | were among the ma- jority who argued that there should be department control over’ our total program (as opposed to autocratic con- trol, or to none at all), and Prof. Mar- diros in the minority; but at no time did the debate descend to ‘‘personali- ties’, emotional though it was, nor was the outcome of any debate al- tered by personal animosities.
Those on both sides held their opin- ions sincerely, and on what they took to be grounds of principle. Certainly there was no love lost between some of the parties involved, but that af- fected nothing. It is therefore absurd to claim than Williamson and | ‘‘dis- rupted’’ the workings of the depart- ment, much less the individual work of any colleague.
As for “the campaign of vin- dictiveness, vilification and sland- er’: if Prof. Mardiros is a can- didate for the tile of Most Vili- fied Philosopher, he has strong competition from Williamson and me. To the Tenure Committee, he expressed damaging opinions
our teaching ‘and writing, neither of which he had investi- gated, and he repeated them to persons inside and outside the

department and to the CBC. What kind of ‘silence’ is this? It is a little late for Prof. Price to speak of us as,”’very compe- tent’; had he insisted on this op- inion two months ago, on an oc- casion far more apropos, much anguish might have neen ayoid- ed. And he might reflect that if many persons who “‘have pro- fessed admiration and friend- ship” for Mardiros (I was one of them) have failed to ‘come to his defence”, It is because they think he is wrong. Must friendship smother scruples
When the news of our dismissal reached the department, astonishment and shock were almost universally felt—by Prof. Kemp, too, as he may remember. That is evidence that any “animosities’’ involving Williamson or me were sufficiently trivial that no one thought them possible serious grounds for sacking us. :
Nor were they the original grounds; if they are serious ani- mosities now, they have on ac- count of the first decision. To adduce them as significant fact- ors is mere smokescreen.
There is hardly room for honest doubt that disagreements over aca- demic policy were the real reason for dismissal, and | think them improp- er reasons. It is still worse to pre- tend that those disagreements amounted to mere ‘‘disruptiveness’’, and that they were peculiar to Wil- liamson and me alone; and stagger- ingly silly to claim that (for example) Williamson and | are in league with Prof. Tennessen to force our depart- ment to maintain the doctrines of some single narrow school.
We, and others, have argued that a carefully planned program is com- patible with fruitful diversity of op- inion, and essential to the develop- ment of students who take philosophy seriously; we presupposed the ‘‘unre- stricted freedom for such discussions’’ to which Prof. Price nostalgically re- fers; and we were sacked.

stale bread and dull circuses ?
by david millett lecturer in sociology
This article is the result of a re- cent discussion with one of my socio- logy 202 classes, regarding intro- ductory courses required by various professional schools on campus.
Many students would never have taken such courses as sociology or psychology 202 if they were not re- quired to do so by the curriculum of their professional schools. Some of these students have a real interest in one or another specialized field— the family, criminology, or minori-
e@ appropriate courses. They could have enrolled in these specialities and pursued them to the point where some use- ful application of them could be made upon graduation.
Instead they have enrolled in introductory courses and are expos- ed to a hodge-podge of fields of sociology or psychology without learning much in any one of them. This type of superficial information will never be really useful, and, worse still, may be misused. They never asked for this scattered in- formation, having been required to take it: and they are largely wast- ing their time and money acquiring it.
Some teachers of 202 courses accept this situation and make the best of it by emphasizing the novel or the shocking aspects of our society. They reason that since the stu- dents are confronted with the course and since it is desirable that professors and students have good relations, it is the duty of the professor to enter- tain them, to give them lots of laughs and = surprises—bread ti circuses In the hands of a highly-qualified

Unfortunately, net teachers of introductory courses lac perience which makes this possible, and the result is a combination of rather stale bread and rather dull circuses. If the bread were not re- quired the circus might be better; if the circus were not required, the bread would be better.

cus is required, because much of the class has no intention of going be- yond the 202 level, hence do not see the course as a grounding for sub- sequent detailed study. Lacking the motivation which would be provided by such an orientation they require other more artificial motivations. More than this, they have either entered the course willingly, but with unrealistic expectations, or they have entered it under duress. In either case, the one thing they don’t want is bread. They want something that can be immediately applied, or else they want a “‘fun’ course, a soft spot in their timetable which will allow them to concentrate
on other, more “‘serious’’ studies. Given their position, these demands re, if not entirely excusable, at least understandable.

Alternatively, those intending to r in a social science might be separate sections from who do not. This would, prepaniy entail timetable problems.
Finally, if the professional school can afford only one course in any given social science, then a special applied course should be created which is tailored to their needs.

student marriages increasing
reprinted from the megill daily
In the past, and mabe. even today, people have had the annoy- ing tendency to consider ee student as an incomplete human being who

The enquiry of Le Quartier Latin is the most profound and by the same token the most interesting.

This increase at the end of the war was related to the return of men in uniform to their homes. At the present time, the marriage curve is again rising—after having come to
-a halt—while the ages of husband
and wife are dropping continually. On the other hand, in this type of highly industrialized and_ technic- ally very developed society, studies last longer and longer, that is to say people are now devoting a good many years of their lives to study.
It is therefore normal that i in

A number of problems face stu- dents desiring to get married. Is the marriage acceptable to the family? Will the couple find the necessary funds to get started? And how will the marriage influence the economic and ae activities of the married studen
The opposition of the parents is not centere he choice o mate, but it is generally caused by fears arising over the material prob- lems facing the future couple, ble to help their children financially.
On the whole, however, this opposi- tion is finally overcome and the family tries to help out as much as possible.
Among most couples only the Husband metudios and the wife works to support the household. Most young women, however, do not in- tend to work more than a few years in order to be able to raise their children. Only a few hope to take up their studies again when their husbands have terminated theirs.
The husband works part time in winter and full time in summer. Part-time work is generally very badly paid but the husband tries to
lo such work in order not to feel entirely supported throughout the entire year. Sometimes the student, in order to avoid this feeling or to improve his living conditions, stops his studies and only appears at exams. Another solution (but we hope it is one of despair!) consists of entering the army which pays the costs of studies, offers a salary
50 per month and requires that the student works three years for it after finishing his studies.
n case both husband and wife are students, an often complicated system is worked out by which each works in turn so te to contribute to the family budget

Third panel condemns apathy toward foreign policy
By MARION CONYBEARE Canadians are ignorant of world affairs, What’s more, they don’t care about their
nation’s position in the world.
Public apathy and the indifference of Canadians to the direction of Canada’s foreign policy was attacked by panel mem- bers of the third panel at U of A’s teach- in Saturday.
Lloyd Axworthy, a political scientist from United College, Winnipeg said that if Canadians can’t care about world affairs we don’t deserve to know.
He said that Canada must lose her sense of inferiority. “We are not the U.S.,” he
aid.
Howard Green, former minister of foreign affairs, said the biggest question was not that of where Canada’s foreign policy was made ut the “subservient

All pace members thought that Canada set her own foreign policy. i
the panel should not be Canadian foreign policy-made in U.S.A., question mark, but Canadian fobelat policy—how it is made, period,” Axworthy
“Canadian foreign policy represents an advanced case of arrested adolescence,” he said. “We are a big overgrown baby snookums.”
Green said there were four factors other than the attitude of Canadians which are moving Canada towards subservience. ®The colossal power of the United States. @®The general world situation creates a
tendency of smaller countries to get be-
i e leader, @The nearness of Canada to the U.S. pre- sents opportunities for domination, and ®Canadian envy of the wealth and pro- gress of the United States is a reason for indifference towards nationality. : Genes must stand on her own feet,”

soa added “because of failure of Security Council members to agree, much
of the responsibility has fallen and will fall on the little powers, of which Canada is a leading member.”
e peace keeping role is the “ideal role for Canada . . . perhaps the finest role in the world today,” he aid.
worthy went on in the same vein to
say that beca Canada ’t play in the made field it akoula provide leadership in others, “Canada should play a restrictive role against the bigger powers,” he stated. ‘Canada must be an initiator, he said. We need to have men of ideas in Ottawa.
’At present there are just administrators.
We have opportunities as peacemakers, Axworthy continued. “We have a good record and can play an intermediary role.” .Axworthy blamed news media and the universities for apathy of world events. Newspapers report the blood and gore

Trueman said it would be immoral for Canada to withdraw from NATO and NORAD.
Panel number four
Negative nationalism criticized by speakers
By LORRAINE MINICH
Speakers in the fourth panel re- terated the condemnation of neg- ative nationalism of those in the first panel.
Speakers in the fourth panel were:
®@ Pierre LeFrancois, vice-president of Ui ; ®Gerald Ohlsen, arts 3 and mem- ber of the campus Liberals, ®Dimitrios Roussopoulos, a full- time staff’ member of SUPA, and @ Joe Clark, grad studies and past president of the Progressive Con- servative Students’ Federation.
The topic was “1968—Canada, 51st State?”
LeFrancois spoke with a note of pessimism about Canada’s future. He said there are so many examples of American domination that Can- adian identity exists only in the minds of a few ideologists. He questioned the idea that if Canada regains control of her economy, it would solve all her problems.
“The essential thing is for Can- adians to assess the extent of their will to live voting as a nation,” said LeFranco:
We have “ae enjoying the ad- vantages of being U.S. enclosed without cohen to participate in Vietnam, he said.
Quebec will likely not break away unless proposed solutions to our economic problems prove in- effective, he said. However, nega- tive nationalism could continue un- less something like this happens.
Ohlsen said he believes the insti- tution of the nation state will still be an effective force in 1968. He called Canada a “freak” because it is not a nation or a state.
“People give a lot more than a Hershey bar to be Canadians,” he said. “I’m very optimistic about Canada The reason we haven’t had a civil war is our spirit op tradition.”
Roussopoulos said Canada must be a. federation of two nations. Constitutional rights must be given to Quebec.
There is no simple way to attack the deeply-imbedded institutions of our frozen liberal democracy, he
There must be a mass social movement for peace and freedom, mainly among youth.
“Canadians can’t say the. war in Vietnam is not our war,” said Roussopoulos. “We have become accomplices in genicide.”
The real problems are not in Vietnam or in the outer space, he said. We must work humanity and human respect.
Clark said the fight for national- ism requires much more than civil disobedience as is used by SUPA, which he called a “phenomenal factor”.
He suggested the search for an identity is less relevant in the West because Westerners already have a nationalistic feeling. e East is more prone to “navel gazing”; also
U.S.—Canadian ties in the East are stronger than out here, he said.

by DON SELLAR and RALPH. MELNYCHUK
Sellar: Up to now you have refused to make any public statement about your being denied tenure. Why are you speaking now?
Williamson: Well, I have only so much patience, and time is run- ning out, and I still do not want to make any statement relating to the tenure issue itself. There is another matter, however, about which I have now been forced to speak.
In The Gateway of Feb. 2, Vice- President Wyman is quoted as saying that this affair is a “per- sonal matter” between the admini- stration and myself. And pres- sure has been put on your news- paper to suppress the news. All because the matter, it is alleged, is b e i ng handled by responsible
e ations which have also been used to induce me to remain silent.
But this talk about not discuss- ing the matter in public is coming to seem completely hypocritical. My silence has been exploited in order to launch a whispering cam- paign against me, to spread scandalous fabrications about my philosophical and teaching com- petence, and vile lies about my personal conduct.
Sellar: Are you speaking for both yourself and David Murray, or just for yourself?
Williamson: Just for myself.
-Melnychuk: Could you be more specific about how your silence as been exploited?
Gateway is being told to keep quiet, the head of my department sees fit to convey to CBC tele- vision his fantasies about my com- petence as a philosopher and teacher.
Sellar: On CBC’s- Dimension Prof. Mardiros was quoted as saying you have “published very little in the last four years”.
Williamson: Well, even if we grant _ his insistance that the only cri- wae for quality is quantity, can be informed of the actual stutter of the philosophy de- partment—can we learn how much has been published by other members of the department (in- cluding Prof. Mardiros himself) ? Of course, Prof. Tennessen has published a great deal and is the only member of the department

with an international reputation in philosophy. That, I suppose, is why it was decided that he should not be on my tenure committee. Melnychuk: Prof. Mardiros was also
quoted as referring to the decline in enrolment in your Social Philo- sophy class.
‘Williamson: Once again, suppose we
im his criterion for teach-
ing ability—the quantity of stu-
dent taught. Is there any evid-
ence for attributing the decline to the quality of my teaching?
All of the students in that class have already indicated their view, but no one seems to give a damn about what students think. Sever- al people have already pointed out that there is no evidence for his position, but carries on saying the same thing, blind to the evidence.
Isn’t it obvious that these two charges are red herrings and fab- rications introduced solely in
order to cover up the basic issue?
Prof. Mardiros:
. Iam running out of patience”
Melnychuk: Then what is the basic issue?
Williamson: The real charge is that I have played a “disruptive role” in the philosophy department. This other nonsense has been in- troduced simply because no one has had the guts to be honest about why I am really being fired.
Sellar: And is the charge true? Have you been a disruptive influence?
Williamson: Yes! I have been a dis- ruptive influence in the depart- ment of philosophy. Of course, this has nothing at all to do with “personalities” or the rumors about having spread rumors of Prof. Mardiros. These topics, too, are introduced by those who are afraid to face up to the real issues of principle involved.
I have been a papas in- fluence, and so, you will find, if you add up the numbers involved, have a majority of the members of
-my department.
What we have |
been fighting for is democracy in our department, an end to arbit- rary decision-making, and a re- introduction of professional stand- ards.
What the department of philo- sophy needs is a great deal more disruption, if it is ever to be any- thing more than a playground for philosophical amateurs, where sycophancy is more important than ability.”
Sellar: Let’s get back to the issue of “exploited silence’. You haven’t really told us the specific reasons why you are making this state- ment.
Williamson: At the same time as my supporters are being told that they must observe a discreet silence about the case, a little trio from the Philosophy Department launches a public campaign in the columns of The Gateway. At the same time as we are all being ask- ed to respect the “dignity” of the situation, an actual member of my tenure committee has so little sense of personal dignity as to write a letter to The Gateway de- fending his behavior, via the clumsy ruse of defending the head of my department.
One of this trio writes a hypo- critical letter to The Gateway tell- ing us all to work through “re- sponsible channels’ and _ then spends classroom time that should have been devoted to teaching philosophy propagandizing his view of the incident.
If they really want a fight, they’ll get one. If they push too much, they’ll push the lid off this whole dirty business.
If, on the other hand, the parties who have been urging silence and the “proper’’, “respect- able” channels really mean it, let them call off their dogs.
Melnychuk: What about. the ee bility of a compromise?
Williamson: Last Wednesday night I was assured by the president of the Association of Academic Staff that a definite compromise settle- ment would be proposed to me on Thursday or Friday. Up till today (Sunday) I have heard nothing, and the president of the AASUAE
has not contacted me again.
Sellar: What will you do if you don’t hear something soon?
Williamson: The CAUT has said that. if a private settlement is not reached they will intervene. If I don’t hear something soon, I sup- pose I shall be forced to pepesl

Also, the nature of investment has changed from portfolio invest- ment to an increase in ect in- vestments in the Canadian econ- omy, says Mr. Saumier.

dominates the Canadian economy, but this is the fault of Canada he said.
“Canadian’s must make the choice between material affluence and complete economic sovereign- ty,” he says.

Therefore, ie greatest danger is posed by the fact that foreign con- trol is concentrated in the new and expanding industries which means Americans are gaining increasing control of the most significant sect- or of Canada’s economy. ADEQUATE INFORMATION

looks at sports
The hockey Bisons came back from Turin with a bad record as the press screamed on with cries of professionalism, bad lighting bad refereeing, and any other handy excuse
It could he been any inter- national hockey tournament in the last few years—every time the press screams, and every time the Canadians slip further down the standings.
The way the tears are freezing on _ the sport’ s room floors, you’d think the.criers are actually thinking of playing hockey.
A lot of good that would do.
But it isn’t as bad as it looks. The National team is the first stumbling step in the right direc- tion Canadian hockey has taken in recent history. There is no reason
can’t send an all-star university team to the Universiade.
You could base it on one club— this year it would have been the ‘Bisons or the Bears—and add out- standing groups of players from other teams.
I Martin, LeBlanc and Harper would function reasonably well with a couple of Bison. de- fencemen. Sure the Bisons have got some good hockey players, but after you take out the Jim Irving line they are a second rate club.
If you put three powerful college lines on the ice, you might have a chance,
It might take a few ae te practice to break them in, but I think the boys would make the ae
College hockey players aren’t that bad. When the fortified Oil Kings met the National team, the Austin Smith-Wilf Martin-Brian Harper line was the best on the ice, sinking two of the nie Oil King goals in 4-3 losing cause.
Incidentally, the patie was play-
ferent rules were named as a con- tributing factor in the Bison drub- bing.
But what really makes me mad is the following statement in John Wilson’s article from Turin.
“Compared to the Russian team’s Spartan-like schedule of daily workouts, Canada did not practice once. The team was busy taking tours of Torino’s sprawling Fiat factory or visiting nightclubs rst signing autographs.”
After this he has the nerve to suggest seven consecutive days of hockey were too much and implies this should be changed. The im- pression I get is the Bisons just weren’t serious about playing hoc- key. So the Russians are in better condition—what the hell do you expect, they go to workouts, while the anadians excercise other muscles.
And this seven days of hockey in-a-row bit, this is right out in left field. If all you have to do is play one game a day with no travelling between games, the schedule is a picnic. It may be monotonous with hockey every day—but not for a hockey player.
But even so, says Wilson, the
- Russions have changed the style of
play. Listen, Wilson, hockey is hockey and a good team beats a bad team any day of the week. The Bisons just aren’t a good enough team
The Montreal Canadians could beat the Russians without changing their style of play.
According to Wilson, the Russians break quickly, and if you are fore- checking, they trap one or two forwards. The problem here is forechecking not the They pass the puck well, but I’d like to see these Russians take the puck or a game away from fellows like Stan Mikita who like to hold the puck.
What we have here is the usual problem, A bunch of foreigners who play good foreign hockey and a team of Canadians playing bad Canadian hockey. Good teams win.
Next time around let’s put a good team on the ice. There are enough good college hockey players in this country to build a nee which should rh second p

Bison performance disappointing
at world hockey tournament
By JOHN MILLER
TORINO, Italy (CUP)—As ex- pected, a ‘Canadian hocke ey team came to the 1966 World University Winter Games to ee souvenirs and lose to the Russia:
Unexpectedly, Conds also lost to Findland, 8-3, and Rumania, 5-0.
Had it not been for the spirited 5-3 conquest of favored Czecho-
slovakia, the University of Mani- toba Bisons, 1965 Canadian Inter- collegiate champions, would have lowered the Maple Leaf abruptly to half mast in international hockey circles.
Father David Bauer’s idea of a university based international team never looked so impossible.
There are reasons, of course.
Intramural basketball finishes with flourish
By ALEX HARDY
One of the wildest finishes in re- cent men’s intramural basketball history is assured tonight at the new Education Building gym.
No less than four teams have a solid chance at the first division title entering tonight’s final set of games. Four contests are on tap, starting at 7 p.m. Spectators are welcome.
Presently tied for first are Lamb- da Chi Alpha, the pre-Christmas champ, and the surprisingly strong Physical Education entry. But none
of the five teams in the round- robin playoff are undefeated.
Both LCA and Phys Ed sport 2-1 won-loss records. Delta Upsilon and Dutch Club are next with 1-1 marks, with only Psychology (0-2) appearing out of contention.
Division II also finishes up to- night, barring a tie for first. Four grag: are yt starting at
p.m. in the cation gym. Phicical Education “ce leads with a 3-0 slate, but Latter nas Saints “B” are right behind at 2-1, Lower Residence “B” (1-1), and Arts and Science “B” and Engineering “C” (both 0-2) trail.
In first division playoff action, Lambda Chi rebounded from its opening-night loss to Dutch Club and won two straight. Its latest was a hard-fought 43-35 decision over Delta Upsilon, thanks to a point final-quarter splurge.
Captain Neil Bowker and rary Klipper paced the victory with 1 points eac Ed Molstad eaabe eight. Doug Krenz hooped 10 in a losing cause, with Don Sheldon contributing eight, Wayne Shaw seven.
Behind 19-11 at half-time, DU rammed home 18 third-quarter points to enter the final stanza with a 29-29 tie. But they are out- classed the rest of the way and could manage only six points.
ysical Education overcame a 21-16 first-half deficit to trim Dutch Club 53-41. Gil Mather and Pete Tyler netted 16 and 12 points, respectively, for the winners. Dutch Club got yeoman service from Don Holmes, who found the range for 17 markers.
The Phys Eders used a 17-point third-quarter to take the lead, then flipped in 20 points a the last 10 minutes to coast hom
Physical Education ot got a stiff battle from Lower Residence “B” before emerging 52-45 victors. Earlier, they routed LDS “B” 47-26 and are assured of at least a first- place tie.
Ken Short and Bryan Rakoz led the win over Residence with 1 points apiece. Against LDS Rakoz potted 21 and Short 15.
