acclamations abound

Nominations for the Representative Assembly closed Fri- day and practically up to zero hour it looked as if student apathy was going to score again.

Said Ellen Scott, “Until Thursday I didn’t think I’d need an election.”

But something about Frank Frketich’s appeal at the speak- easy Thursday noon must have rung a few hearts. By Friday enough nominations were in to ensure a good, hard-hitting election after all, in first and second year at least.

For the four first-year rep. positions the following have been nominated: Brian Butters, Paul Borgogne, Dave Clode, Eritta Dickens, Brian Davies, Mark Hill, Douglas Hillian, Denise Floyd, Alan McLean, Ian McKinnon, Lorne Swayze, Ella Rosso, Edward Tail, and Mike Donison.

For the six second-year reps. the following: Tom Newell. Lynn Brassington, Cynthia Bonesby, Brian Hill, Steven Goode. Stuart Wozney, Rory Walters.

For the six positions as third and fourth-year rep. the following have been acclaimed: Van Charnell, Roger Heckrodt. Alan Peterson, Chris Bruce, John Saunders, David Gillett.

Two students, Tony West and Jim Bennett, are competing for the position of Student Campus Development Chairman. and Bob Higenbotham has been elected Chairman of Academic Affairs by acclamation.

wise. indication the election should be an energetlc one.

Uvic’s criminal element minimal Take any highly mobile population of 5,000

people, and some of them are going to be crooks. But at the University of Victoria, unlike oth-

e r university campuses, the crook-ratio is mini- mal says Traffic and Security Patrol Supervisor Tom O’Connor.

“Because of the university’s location, because of the students involved, and because of the stu- dents’ social background we get very little crime on campus,” O’Connor said in an interview Mon- day.

“Other universities, and we keep in touch with them, have some serious problems, but at Uvic it’s all pretty quiet.”

Big crimes at Uvic last year included a minor

crime wave in the Clearihue motorcycle parking lot that saw 12 valuable helmets pinched before security patrol surveillance put an end to crimi- nal activities.

And there was severe rash of thefts in the gymnasium locker-rooms and the field-house in P-hut. Wallets and contents were lifted like mad before security forces moved into the hot zone.

O’Connor still labels the gym a danger area when it comes to leaving the long green in your jeans while you run. a quick lap.

When it comes to out-and-out robbery, the Uvic campus was hit twice last year.

Person or persons unknown hit Uvic Radio for $19, and the Alma Mater Society got hit for

$130 in a spectacular heist that O’Connor labelled an inside job.

Vandalism and other crude destructive efforts were at a bare minimum.

Only one car window was kicked in on parking lots last year, and there were only two instances of malicious damage to parked vehicles.

But there were four cases of stolen hub-caps and theft of tail-light assemblages.

Car accidents on campus last year ran into a total of 18 between January and December 1967.

There have been no reports of assault or other crimes of violence, O’Connor said, and he attri- buted the small amount of vandalism to off- campus transients passing through.

Bizarre 0. IC. for over 30

By MARY MORGAN

Over 2,000 People, most of them students and many of them .crowded together on the dusty floor, bulged the gymnasium to capacity Friday night.

All were looking forward to something really good for their money and their trouble. . Unfortunately Harper’s Bizarre did not quite fly as high a8 the audience’s expectations.

Response to their pat, showy repertoire was fairly animated, to be swe, and in fact , a t one point near the end of the performance there was a genuine sense of audience participation - but the group was polished enough to ensure a response of some sort.

The Bizarre seem to have sacrificed much of their own talent, which they undoubtedly have a lot of, for a glossy, highly commercialized performance.

What appeared to be lacking was some vestige of originality and freshness. A stereotyped, rigid and non- creative format may be necessary for a tour that covers 58 colleges in 60 days, but that’s their problem.

The Uvic audience was certainly not expecting a psyche- delic, freaked-out show with dozens of high-powered ampli- fiers, but i t was evident that without the electronic back-up of the recording studios some of the material - Anything Goes, for example - fell far short of anticipations.

The group did isplay quite a bit of versatility in their perfornance of the old ’50’s and early ’60’s rock standards like Get A Job, and comic pieces like Vatican Rag went over well.

But the “soft-sound” expected from the Bizarre, ai- though it was there, did not really come through with much

spectator insisted : “It was all right for older people.”

Apathy president

burns membership

The r e c e n t l y formed Apathy Club went to town Friday with a successful re- cruitment of 92 members.

“In a way it’s unfortun- ate,” said president Laurie Creak. “There are many more who are interested in joining, but I‘m too apathetic to con- tinue recruitment.”

Laurie admitted he’s sur- prised by the volume of new members, but feels the re- sponse can be chalked up to the fact that Apathy reflects a majority interest.

The recruitment form in- cluded a column for com- ments, which included state- ments like, “I’ll love every golden minute,” to a small but redundant g r o u P of “Don’t give a damn%

The form was almost en- tirely blank of phone num- bers and addresses.

Laurie said he planned to take the membership lists home and burn them.

He doesn’t want to get tied up with minutes, meetings, posters and other trivia.

Anyone for George!

A t last count the new George Wallace - For - Presi- dent Club had two members.

A list for members has been tacked to the SUB notice board opposite the board room.

Speculation is rampant the former Governor of Alabama will run in the upcoming Nanaimo-Cowichan and Is- lands by-election if he fails in his bid for the US presi- dency.

4 THE MARTLET ““ - The progress of Sedgewick

~ i o l o g i s t s , educators, psychologists and the RCMP are currently awaiting with bated breath the outcome of the top-secret Sedgewick Hairtickle .affair.

Of course we have no access to the f l o o d ‘ of confidential documents that at this very moment ebbs and flows between top government administrators and the scientists engaged in on-the-spot research into the latest developments in Sedgewick Hairtickle’s vital existence.

But we feel it is important, at the very least, to fill our readers in on the phenomenal case-history of Hairtickle.

Twenty-five years ago the best minds of our nation decided it was urgently necessary to widen the narrow road that led to the halls of higher learning. Manpower was daily becoming obsolete - what was needed was BRAIN-POWER, as they called it, or the technical know-how to operate the technological apparatus that apparently kept our society running.

In other words, a rather formidable panorama of tech- nological slots had been created, and an equally formidable number of human beings were needed to fill them.

Accordingly, a study was conducted among the youth of the nation, a study that took into consideration things like racial origin, I.Q., sex, parents’ income and puberty age. The upshot of this gigantic survey was that Sedgewick Hairtickle. age 13, was chosen by a computer as the mod icleally average child of his generation.

To be named the most average of the average may not seem like much of an honour, but the implications are far- reaching. You see, with the advent of people-in-slots educa- tion it became imperative in the new system of evaluation to establish an ideal average, the Golden Mean. a foil against whom the achievements of everyone else would be measured. And Sedgewick was chosen as the personification of this mean.

Leading away from him on the ascending scale of intel- ligence were the intellectual, the creative, the wealthy and the virile potential of his generation. And on the downhill side gently sloped the dreaded scale of the mentally inept, the morons, the slow-learners and the dumb-dumbs that Fate has unfortunately chosen to include with even the greatest of societies.

And so Sedgewick grew up. He was in every sense of the word ‘average’ average. He made C‘s and C + ’ s in all his courkes, he made the second-string basketball team, and he almost made the prettiest ugly girl in Grade 12.

Little did he realize that he was the focal point of an entire social hierarchy. Little did he know that the future of his nation depended on the success of this experiment in mediocrity, with himself as number one guinea pig. Mean- while, deep within the silence of the bureaucracy that shielded them, educators, administrators, politicians and all the other men of standing in the community read reports of Sedgewick’s progress, and nodded their approval.

Sedgewick entered university right on schedule. and immediately settled down to a routine af C’s and C+’s as he surged toward a pass a r t s degree. During that memorable period of his life it is also recorded that he consistmtly recorded eight legitimate reference works in the biblio- graphy of each of his term papers, and that he took out the ugliest pretty girl in his class on World History Since The Invention of The Wheel. Like so many before him. and so many since, he put up with this routine for four years.

Upon receiving his degree he was confronted with a major dilemma, that of choosing a career. The problem was, however, easily resolved because, a s anybody knows, nobody with a pass art degree has a choice of careers.

Sedgewick took a position with a company that manu- factured soap for dunging out the crevices between the toes of the human foot (especially recommended for athletes).

He was now established with a secure income in a job from which he could never be fired. The men who had groomed him for the role were naturally elated. Their ex- periment was a success, for they had found a subject who m e through with all the correct responses without even having to be cued.

The final stage of the experiment was about to Corn- mence. Sedgewick would take a wife (an Ugb-PrettY girl was preferable to a pretty-ugly girl) and from their union would fecondate a brand new series of little Sedgewicks, whose offspring, over the course of several generations, would completely infiltrate and ultimately envelope the by- then burgeoning technology of the society.

In all of this Sedgewick the First was a willing, if unsuspecting, accomplice: he was happily married at the age of 22. And it was at that moment that the Great Medio- crity Experiment began to come apart at the seams.

TUESDAY, OCTOBER 8,1968

The rest is pure speculation. For with the Sedgewick Affair veiled in secrecy, we can only guess at the true cause of the sudden disastrous turn of events. From rumours that manage, by a process of verbal osmosis, to pass through the official silence, it seems that Sedgewick is incapable of pro- creation.

Or, to put it more bluntly, and to quote his understandably distressed spouse from a reliable source, Sedgewick simply “can’t cut the mustanrd.”

In conclusion, and at the risk of sound- ing moralistic, we would advance the follow- ing reason for Sedgewick’s impotence.

Sedgewick Hairtickle does not really exist. Yes, there is Sedgewick, the flesh and blood reality, Sedgewick with two arms, two legs, and, presumably, genitals. But he is merely the vehicle for the creation of a myth: a Sedgewick intended to embody a whole library of misleading assumptions about the emotional and intellectual develop- ment of a human being.

The real Sedgewick, the person, has never been permitted to flower. And if a man does not really exist, excgpt as an ideal of some administrators and Chambers of Com- merce can he reasonably be expected to pro- create himself? Shucks.

“Make a regular date with Mom and Dud” An open letter to all out-of- town students:

The art of writing a letter home can be reduced to two fundamental points. “Did you wrlte it?” “What did you say?” It means so much that the letter be written: “I meant to write,” which no postage stamp can carry, creates only heartache and disappointment.

n o not wait for the mood to come. The mood for letter writing seldom arrives at the right time, if ev’er. Make this time. Don’t wait for it. Set aside a regular time for writing. Perhaps it will be Sunday morning before you are dressed and caught UP in the day’s activity. Or is Monday evening a slack time for you?! Whenever i t is, make a regular date with mother and dad and don’t let less important things keep yorl from it.

“There is nothing to write

about you say, well then, write and let me know just this - that there is nothing to write about.”

If that is also true with yor~, you must lead a very barren life i n d e e d ! It wouldn’t be laziness would i t ? Or even selfishness? Blunt uncompromising words that lie behind many an u n - written letter. You will know whether they are true or not.

When you write do not make the mistake of thinking that a page dashed off in a few minutes is doing your duty: “I’m fine. Hope you are the same. I need some money.” is never going to set mom’s heart throbbing or bring a light to dad’s eye. Certainly there is more to your life than your health and the weather. Exert your- self. Picture your dear ones a t home in the surroundings you know so well. What would you talk about if YOU

dropped in to see them for a few minutes? Write i t just that way. Try to imagine the questions they would ask you. What about your work? Do they know what you really do each day in your working and in your free time? De- scribe the people you meet. Make them real.

A letter home is ideal for telling of those small SUC- ceses and triumphs which ordinarily you might think of. This gives your parents a secret joy when friends start bragging about how well their children are doing. Share the disappointments too. Perhaps they have been there and can help.

So take some time regu- larly to go home in thought.. Put love and humour and plenty of little things into your letters. Those you left will not be half so lonely and neither will you.

It involves merely the aware- lious words would receive approval from the powers- ness that everything is in fact different, including

that-be. He is, as he screams, commenting on himself, Yourself, and that true equality is a reciprocal for those things against which he screams the loud- agreement to allow differences to co-exist.

And approval is the priority question, for to- est, are the very things which twist his own life out of shape-the very things which he cannot handle We have come to an age of make-believe where

The things which govern his actions to the the buttons and the bumper-sticker are the two more proud of the label he wears than of the actions point where he cannot move toward the freedom happy solutions to reconciling our would-be actions he performs.

scream profanity, and looking back to see whether or not his foul mouth has been collectively approved by those too timid to step forward themselves, but brave enough to do the pushing.

At stake here is the essence of true rebellion, which far from taking on the appearance of a cir- cus side-show, is a way of life for which approval is unnecessary.

agrees . but There is nothing that Farber says that I dis-

agree with, but Farber’s intent is one of a search for support: “Believe in me and I will believe in myself”. His cry is more like the squeal of a pig demanding slop from the hands of the one who will

, eventually cut him up for bacon.

Mr. Farber cries “The Student is Nigger” and the student snaps out of his daze and answers: “Yea man, 1’s a nigger. Look at me here doin’ what de white boss says, writin’ dis fuckin’ term paper wid footnotes-I don’t wanna do dis shit!”

But the nigger sits there and does it. He bitches louder and louder but he sits right there and does it.

Why? Because, naive as he is, he has enough grasp of reality to understand the simple fact that if he doesn’t he’s going to get screwed by the white boss. And in his simplistic way of looking at life, he believes that the white boss is the one who will finally release him from bondage.

student holds key Caught between his desire for freedom and his

fear of destroying his chance for freedom, he does not realize that he alone holds the key to his release.

To the extent that he has struggled and tasted freedom, he feels uneasy at his loneliness. It fright- ens him and reveals his true character-he would rather be held down and scream to be let up, than to get up and find nothing to support him.

He is worried about getting screwed because he is unable to tell the white boss to fuck off.

He accepts his assignments accordingly, cries wolf when the trivia becomes unbearable, but holds tight to the white boss while he screams profanities against slavery.

He is an understudy in fear tactics and will one day be a white boss himself, for while he plays out his role as slave, he also learns how to be an effec- tive hypocrite-forced to do that which he despises, and barred from freedom by a lack of self-value and confidence.

He accepts the- hate of the white boss and spits i t back in the white boss’s face.

students confused Bogged down in his own confusion, he first cries

out against hate, but then turns to hate the system that tortures him.

Now the true target is in sight. It is the failure of the man, not of the system.

Life is not categorically beautiful. Ugliness and sloth are part of reality.

administration to blame That which drives a man to achieve greatness is

first the definition, and then the rejection of medi- ocrity-not the mediocrity of the system, but that of the self.

There is no system yet devised that can operate without the direction of men, and to the extent that each system derives its function from the individ- uals responsible for its administration, each system is subject to the personal failures of the men in that administration.

To comment upon the fact that sexuality shows up in the school as intellectual perversion is to com- ment only on a perverted intellect, not on the school system.

To say that an inadequate teacher operates on the premise of fear and respect is merely to com- ment on an inadequate teacher.

If you understand such perversion, why do you laugh at the jokes? Could i t be that you are also perverted?

If you understand a teacher‘s fear of you, why do you feed that fear with hate?

Do you love or are you also afraid of that teach- er? And if you love, why do you turn on inadequacy with revenge? Could i t be that you are beginning to understand that it is impossible for everyone to love-that it is impossible for ,everyone to be ade- quate. That it is impossible for everyone to escape perversion? Including yourself? And that in fact it is your own perversion, hate, and inadequacy that you are demonstrating in your rebellious tactics?

role accepted willingly Words such as love, equality, adequacy, excel-

lence and freedom are ideals abstracted from a reality of opposites. They are ideals toward which you must strive, and your departure bases are points labelled hate, inequality, inadequacy, mediocrity and coercion.

But you have not even made an attempt to leave base camp because you have willingly accepted the role of nigger.

You sit and do and scream, but you are scared- too scared to find the things you are screaming for, and too blind to realize that your search must begin within yourself.

You must understand that you are condemning a system through hung-up eyes which do not see love because they are filled with hate.

With a mind that does not understand equality because i t continues to meet authority with a defen- sive facade that precludes equality: that does not know freedom when it responds to difference with coercion.

You live in a world of blacks and whites and you would whitewash everything. Not to achieve equal- ity, but because blacks disturb you-you can’t hack them.

We must wear a button that says “make love, not war” because our minds are so loosely committed that we are incapable of making either.

We know we must love, but there is too much hate in us, and yet we realize that hate will inevit- ably destroy us. Our solution is a bumper sticker- a laugh at our own impotence, a groan at the chains that tie us.

still a groan.

If you sit in the student d d n g room and con- verse with students, why exit promplty when you hear “nigger-lover” being whispered? Are you so helpless that a label freezes your will?

A label requires glue and a surface to adhere to -you supply the glue when you get up to leave, and the surface when you fail to return.

And in your helplessness you shoulder a sign that reads “student-faculty: one-to-one for a more meaningful discourse”, and something whispers “march nigger, march”, and you march.

Mr. Farber, perhaps your testicles are shrivelled up. If so, you put them in that condition by doing only what was permitted.

You castrated yourself when you chose to sit and do and scream, and your testicles bleed because you will not put them to work until society validates their use.

In the meantime you march, and in so doing re- veal the personality of a little boy waiting for his parents to help him pack after ‘threatening to run away from home.

up. You haven’t the courage to put down your sign, take off your button, and live the doctrine you preach.

Try such a life, Mr. Farber. Don’t scream about freedom, throw away your chains and live freedom.

Don’t yell: “Help, I’m being evaluated!” Stop evaluating. Don’t march around wearing love on your jacket, stop hating.

Take your testicles off the parchment and put them back in your pants.

The world does not need the continued spectacle of your bleeding groin-there are too many who would join you in taking down their pants to demon- strate that society has indeed emasculated them.

I am waiting for a few more to get un-hung and find their balls and get back to the classrooms to save a lot of beautiful children who would just as soon forego your experience !

Senate gives students chance to have say in Uvic future

The University of Victoria is now the first Canadian university whose senate has come forward with a plan of action for studying in depth student proposals for university reform.

When the senate received Frank Frketich’s brief ‘The Need For Change - Part 11” last J u l y i t decided to hand the brief over to two university committees, the Academic Plan- ning Committee and the University Government Committee, for them to recommend the most effective manner for study- ing the student proposals.

On Wednesday September 25, the two committees re- Iwrted back to the senate with the recommendation that three sub-committees be formed to examine proposals that came under academic planning, and two sub-committees to handle proposals falling under university government.

The senate, of course, approved the reports, and next day they were publicly announced as the blueprint for giving proposals contained in the Freketich brief an in- depth examination.

The sub-committees will have a student-faculty member- ship, and positions on the sub-committees have already been filled.

Two weeks have now passed since the senate announced the blueprint, and since then it has become evident that members of the senate and the committees are more eager to study and implement the proposals than the students.

There has been virtually no student reaction to the Frketich brief or to the senate announcement. A faculty member who sits on one of the university committees said he recently asked a class of second-year students what they thought of the brief, particularly the recommendation to abolish final exams. The students had never head of the brief.

Time is running out. The three sub-committees who will consider the proposals under academic planning are due to begin meeting October 16 and 17.

At that time students and faculty will be invited to appear before the sub-committees to speak on the student proposals or to submit written briefs.

At‘ this point it looks as if the students will disregard this opportunity to have some say in how this university will evolve in terms of academic and administrative struc- ture.

The representative assembly has been doing its bit : at its last meeting September 29, i t voted to publish ‘The Need For Change - Part 11’ in order that students and faculty could have access to the documents which during the summer and early weeks of the fall created SO much uproar locally.

But i t is doubtful that more than a few students will take the trouble to study the points that the AMs advanced in the FrketGh brief.

The communications battle goes on. The senate and the government finally have something to tell the rest of the university, but nobody wants to listen.

Dean of Student Affairs Ron Jeffels, who heads sub- committee A under academic planning, says it is imperative that the sub-committees hear from as wide a spectrum of the student and faculty population as possible.

And if anyone thinks it’s necessary to write a formal brief on this issue, they can forget it. All anyone has to do to appear before one of the sub-committees is read the Frke- tich brief, make an appointment with a sub-committee head, then go and talk to the group.

The sub-committee heads also hope to hold a few in- formal Speakeasy-style panels during the next few weeks in order to acquaint students with some of the implications of the student recommendations.

All - Stars trip blast crippled Vikings The hockey hockey Vikings, last year's Vikings league champions, were

narrowly defeated .7-5 by the Vancouver Island All-stars, Friday night, at Esquimalt Sports Centre. riddled swum ... laCk8 cohesion Playing before a boisterous crowd of 1,242 the Vikings *

By MARK HUME Sports Editor

The Meralomas, rated second only to the Vancouver Kats, in B.C. this year, dumped the Vikings in an exhibtion match Saturday, at Centennial Stadium.

Considerably weakened by injuries the ruger Vikings were handed a 19-3 defeat by the powerful Vancouver club.

Uvic held the strong Meralomas squad to only 6 points in the first half, but could not contain their well balanced attack after half-time.

Uvic's first and only score came with just three minutes gone in the first half, when centre Ted Hardy put a 45-yard pen- alty kick between the uprights.

The 'Lomas soon retaliated, sending prop Fred Sturrock in from a three yard line-out, and having fullback Barry Burnham score on a 15 yard penalty kick, before the mid-time break.

Gary Johnston, who as sidelined early in the game by a late tackle, returned after half-time, but his injured knee prevented him from being much assistance to the Vi- king club.

The Meralomas really poured it on dur- ing the second half with trye by John Mit- chell, Sturrock, and Jim Boivan. Burnham missed the conversion on Sturrock's try but was good on the other two.

The university serum was forced to go with only half of its regular players. The pack's lack of cohesion testified to the fact that the four regulars, Tony Payton, Wayne Gundrum, John Price, and Neil Rawnsley were missed.

Saxons fared little better in rugby action a t t he weekend.A hard hitting frosh team from UBC defeated the Saxons 17-3 in a B.C. Intercollegiate Rugby League game, Satur- day in Vancouver.

Uvic soccer sweeps slate

Uvic soccer teams made up for last weekend's half- hearted display by sweeping the slate Sunday.

The Vikings exploded in the second half to kill off Red Lion 7-1, while the Norsemen clobbered Tillicum Athletic Club 4-1.

Red Lion popped their only goal early in the first half of the first divsion en- counter, but Jack Magi tied i t up before the whistle.

In the second frame Greg Pearson was the big gun for the university club, slam- ming home three of the six Koals.

led 3-2 at the close of the first period on goals by Glyn Harper, Bill Westover, and rookie Stan Ruzicka.

The All Stars replied with goals by Dave Stones, and Keith Lawrence.

The Vikings opened the second period strong and fast when Paul Bion broke free for an unassisted score with only 45 seconds gone. But the Stars rallied with three unanswered goals.

Stones, Nick Nicoletti and Wayne Anderson were able to slap shots past sophomore goalkeeper Wayne Hodgson.

Vikings contained the All-stars until mid-way in the final period when Keith Lawrence found an opening. Ruzicka answered for the Vikings, but with only one minute left Uvic trailed 6-5.

Hoping for at least a tie Viking coach Joe Iannarelii substituted an extra forward for the goalie, but the All- Stars closed the door when Leo Desjardins fired one into the open net, with only 19 seconds remaining.

Standouts in the game were Carl Naso and Larry Ellis. Naso, a new face from Cranbrook, made up for his lack of size with a lot of hustle and Ellis a rough. defensive player from Esquimalt showed experience with a hard-nosed effort game.
