said they had applied for OSAP and received enough to make it through the year.

Almost all available housing is beyond walking distance, with just 20 beds remaining in the City of Waterloo. Little, if any, of the housing in Kitchener has direct access to King Street-the only good public transit line in the twin cities.

The housing list is updated daily or oftener as householders notify the office. The list that was sur- _ ” veyed was picked up at 1 pm Fri- day and the survey completed by 4 pm.

One student said on Sunday he was unable to find anything from the list. He indicated he had pibked up a housing list Monday and had - looked all day Monday, returning Sunday to look unsuccessfully all day for a place.

A random sample of other stu- dents who had used the housing list showed 15 out of 28 found the list to be of little value. However,. only two of this group were still without housing as of Friday.

Several cases were found of students doubling up with friends on a temporary basis.

The students surveyed had been asked how much they were short of the minimum necessary for an eight-month term-about $1800- 2000.

. stucht aid While the housing shortage has

not reached crisis proportions, many students arriving on campus late will have extreme difficulty finding housing.

All residence accommodation on campus has been allotted for months and virtually no apart- ments are available in Kitchener- Waterloo for students.

A housing list from the univer- sity housing office showed 399 places offering rooms or room and board for students in Wat- erloo, Kitchener, Bridgeport , Elmira, St. Jacobs, New Ham- burg, St. Agatha, Breslau, Baden and the surrounding rural area.

However, on Friday, a tele- phone survey of the housing on the list showed 105 of the places gone and 97 places still available. The others were not home.

Extrapolated to the full num- ber,fthere remains at the most 196 beds for students somewhere within 12 miles of the university.

Up to 40 percent of Waterloo students may be short an average of $541 for the current school year. And more will be significant- ly short of funds.

In a random sample taken on Friday, 19 out of 47 students said they had applied for student aid under the provincial program (OSAP) and were either denied any assistance or fell significantly short of their needs, by an average of $54&.

The loan and housing troubles are not really surprises, Patterson said.

“We’d been watching the develop- ing problems in these areas all sum- mer, and our student survey was an attempt to measure their magni- tude, but admittedly even we were surprised at their size last week,” Patterson continued.

“Students in trouble in these areas need immediate help-only large scale demand for action has any chance of finding them that help,” Patterson concluded.

“The time has come for greater involvement of the general student body in the search for solution to our mutual problems, ” said Brian Iler .

Iler was announcing the. calling of a special general meeting of the Federation of Students.

The meeting will be held today in the arts quadrangle at 3:30. If it rains the meeting will be moved to the campus center.

tion period later. But scattered people on this campus are down-. right unfriendly, or at least they appear to be. Is’it a high school phenomenon that students and teachers don’t speak to each other when they meet?”

“There’s communication here if you are willing to take part in the communication process. Com- munication is a two-way ’ pro- cess. The faculty is ready. It’s up to you.”

Fryer was followed by Tom Berry, president of the Math Society.

Berry told the freshmen about society activities and mentioned that a counselling service and an anticalendar were planned for this year.

He also said the society should become involved in the quality of education program the Feder- ’ ation of Students has undertaken. ,_

“Students should be given the opportunity to participate in university government, especially on- the faculty and department level,” he said.

At the end of the meeting, about two dozen freshmen and some faculty stayed to talk to the acti- vists.

Sprott said a math student must first master a body of facts and learn how to solve problems. Courses must have a certain math- ematical content and the student is in no position to judge what this content should be.

But Sprott ,conceded students should have a say in the method of presentation used in lectures.

Extracurricular activities were also part of education, said Sprott, but he cautioned against over- participation.

“If you don’t fulfil1 the degree of professionalism required by your program, you will not be able to stay in your extracurri- cular activities because you won’t be able to stay at university.”

Sprott concluded by telling the freshmen to persevere in the prob- lems they will face and wishing them success.

Fryer followed with a speech denouncing the Chevron and warn- ing the freshmen about the adti- vists on campus.

“Qne wonders, in reading the newspaper accounts, which ac- cording to the Chevron are inac- curate, which-no, I won’t say it,

He complained he was damned last year for saying student-con- trolled universities in Latin Am- erica had performed well the first year but had gone downhill ever since.

“It’s difficult to know if we should attempt to find out what is wrong with this university and with the faculty of mathematics so that we can try to do something about it. I’m not sure that’s really what the activists want. We have tried a number of things in the past, you know.”

Fryer told the freshmen about two students last year who criti- cized their education last year; Names were not used but they were well-identified by other details. One had an average of 42.8 and the other 31.4, said Fry- er. Both were repeating first year and were required to with- draw.

At one point hecklers forced Fryer to stop but he was able to continue after the meeting chair- man said there would be a ques-

About 500 math frosh filled the arts theater to hear presentations from the math faculty, the Math Society, the dean -of women and the coordination / department. Also some 15 upper-year activists were scattered throughout the crowd. .

Sprott discussed the relevence of freedom to education.

He. said there is a great deal of freedom in the math faculty. There are only three compulsory courses in first year, no special- ization until third year and much flexibility in electives. Students are free to skip classes and, he not- ed, they are free to fail.

“It’s up to you to accomplish as much or as little as you please,” said Sprott.

“Unfortunately, I don’t see how there can be complete free- dom in. the selections of courses.”

Sprott went on to discuss stud- ent participation in his education.

“In a lecture on math there is no point in discussing social change; there is no point in engaging in a dialog with the instructor and

heckling continued. Fryer mentioned the efforts of

the math faculty to get acquainted with students. Coffee and donut evenings were set up.

“We had lots of faculty mem- bers out each evening but I would estimate the student turn- out at roughly 25 percent. But we’re .going to try again this year, ” said Fryer.

He ‘also referred to the math faculty handbook and mentioned the criticism it had received.

‘So this it is’ something I’m throwing to our Mathematics Society. Math Society, tell US what to do to improve our hand- book,” said Fryer.

Here he was interrupted by John Madgett, a member of MathSoc council and past editor of the Math Medium.

“You’ve never asked us,” he said.

Fryer mentioned the‘ student- faculty liaison committee and said at least one recommendation had been accepted.

Fryer ended .with a plea for . friendliness.

The manifesto calls for abolition of the faculty council, student council and residence council in favor of a single college govern- ment. It also demands formal courses created jointly by students and faculty, an end to examinat- ions and a bill of rights “which grants to any individual the right to pursue his education in any manner which is deemed best by him ”

“There was a fantastic meeting . last week where most freshmen and some faculty participated in a discussion about education.”

Protests hit housing crisis i (CUP )-The university housing

crisis in the province is being met with action at Toronto and Queen’s.

The student council at U of T . has set up a* tent city on university lawns across from Hart House September 9 to publicize their crisis.

Council member Andy Wernick said, “The demonstration drama- tizes the housing crisis as it affects the student and the com- munity.”

He said the university has too little residence space-opera- ting them like barracks in any case-and charges too much for

the student accommodation it Housing corporation offers a full- owns on and off campus. mortgage program for residences

“Only wealthy students can afford to live on or near the uni- versity, and although the real problem is the market system of land, the university could still build more residences, reduce residence fees ranging from $750 to $1000 a year, and abondon alto- gether the authoritarian rules.”

that requires negligible capital r from the university. It has been X 1 available for about a year.

U of T president Claude Bissell said the students were right, but added student accommodation was always short because uni- versity resources were concen- trated on academic buildings.

However, the Ontario Student

A dozen U of T students Thurs- day picketed an apartment build- ing whose landlord they say is forcing families out to bring in student tenants at exhorbitant rates.

Last month, landlord Arnold Blundell raised rent in the build- ing to $240 a month per apartment from $140.

The move forced out 15 families who could not afford the new rent. Then Ryerson students each paying $65 a month to live four and five in an apartment moved in.

University affairs minister Wil- liam Davis announced last Tues- day, “ more extensive procedure for auditing student-award ap- plications is now being imple- mented. ”

Davis has speculated in the provincial legislature “some few students may ’ have obtained assistance under false pretenses.

“The department has under- taken discussions with the provin- cial auditor towards instituting new procedures so that we can ‘continue to assure all concerned, students and citizens, that this program is being carried out in an effective and proper fashion.”

Davis said a substantial num-- ber of student award applica- tions have already been reviewed. In his opinion, very few people attempt to obtain loans and grants unfairly.

Penalties under the Canada Student Loans Act include fines up to $1000, immediate return of loans and grants, and suspension of further aid for a minimum of two years.

In response to questions on the nature of the new auditing system, Lin Peebles, university-affairs information officer, said, “It’ not a matter for general public knowledge.”

He did say however, “It will be more than a hit-and-miss spot check. The audit is designed to get the blatantly false applica- tions. ”

The information obtained dur- ing the audit will be as secure as income tax information, accord- ing to Peebles.

Budget limits student loans Student loans are awarded on

the basis of the student’ need say the province’s PR boys. Well-not exactly .

The province has set a budget limit for expenditures under the student-aid program. To keep within it, restrictions have been set on the deductions allowable in calculating the supposed par- ental contribution.

Such things as parents’ moving expenses in a year or unusual

household expenses are not con- sidered.

Under the regulations, very few such deducations are allowed.

University student-aid officer Albert Dejeet explained the OSAP form is tailored to the provincial budget. Many expenses are not taken into account because they would cause too large a drain on the budget allowances for OSAP.

ord strcmig~t TORONTO (CUP)-National

student leader Peter Warrian Thursday (Sept. 12) broke up a fees protest within the Univer- sity of Toronto student body to set the record straig,ht on news- paper accounts which have brand- ed him a violent revolutionary.

Warrian, president of the Cana- dian Union of Students and a Waterloo graduate, plunged brief- ly into a student councl debate to condemn “the incompetent bourgeois press” and explain what he really said.

The oft-misquoted passage, he said, was:

“Some people say that this is the year to sock it to the adminis- tration and sock it to their build- ings, but we -must also take it to the students, knowing that democratization and liberation

are achieved not by manipula- tions of a few but by the struggle of all.”

There is a distinction, War- rian’ said, between “advocating violence and creating a frame- work in which violence can be discussed. ”

The studen fees fight, initiated during registration week by four Trinity College students, urges students to withhold $12 of their fees-the portion turned over to the student council by the uni- versity.

The four distributed about 10,000 leaflets charging Warrian and the council with “incitements to mob rule and violent insurrection. ” However they have had little response.

U of T student Steve Langdon condemned the campaign as

“totally irresponsible and repre- hensible. ”

“The council has a total com- mitment to non-violence, a com- mitment that has always been made,” Langdon told the four protestors.

“You are using the bogey man of vioience to chase away the necessity of change. I find it incredibly ironic that a fees pro- test should be aimed at the studnet council and none at all against the university systdm to which we pay a far greater amount in tuition fees. ”

Richard Reach, a third-year English student, defended the pro- test on grounds that “it was necessary to take an extreme action and strengthen the com- mitment to non-vilence and clear up a very damaging image. ”

Worrying about other people today means putting a dime in the Christmas charity collection. Nobody is going to rock his own boat. You’re doomed to fail as long as you keep asking them to.

You have one hope. Maybe they will make enough people mad by ignoring so many problems that a large group will take to the streets each to settle his own unresolved problem.

Maybe then you can prove that it’s not just a matter of individual problems but the whole damn system that’s at fault.

“All right, all right! I promise you you ‘11 have a bigger say in vunm’ng the jlock ” _

let’s talk about bed and bread Are you walking two miles, or

spending an hour and a half on a bus to get to the university?

Are you $500 short of paying for room, board and tuition?

Maybe you’re not-but many of your fellow students are. And friend, their problems are your problems for two very good rea- sons.

The first is that you might very well find yourself in their predica- ment next year.

Many of the students without money are senior students caught by the new rules brought in by the Ontario government this summer.

Many of the students without apartments had very comfortable places last year. They too were caught by changing rules an_d un- caring landlords.

The second reason you should care about these problems is much more important.

Even if you don’t face these problems during your time at university you will face some major problem either now or after you graduate.

The trouble will probably be the result of laws or institutions whose rules lead them to deal with your case automatically.

Sooner or later that won’t be good enough.

At that point your only hope will be that others-people with no direct interest-will come to your aid.

It is only through protecting the rights and privileges of others that we will ever have our own rights and privileges preserved.

* * * The Federation of Students has

called a general meeting for 3: 30 this afternoon in the arts quadran- gle.

Its main purpose is to deal with the problems many are having finding accommodation and fin- ances, but other issues may well be brought up.

There is not a great deal that can be done at this meeting. But if a considerable number of students do come out and express their feelings a very positive step will have been taken.

At the moment it’s the best we can do to help convince the govern- ment it must review its policies on student loans.

And hopefully we can remind the administration it must provide more for the university student, than an amphitheatre seat. It must guarantee those it admits a decent, convenient place to live.

Junior faculty members looking for promotions listen carefully to the views oj’ the department head. They suggest same approach to student wishing to pass.

News item-” Some 35 Cana- dian police forces have Mace, and those in Preston, London, Waterloo, Stratford, Windsor, and Hespeler have used it on humans. ’ ’ -Toronto Star, July 23, page 1.

Hmmm. Maybe the police department

lies to us. No wonder it’s getting

difficult to indoctrinate five-year- olds to believe “the policeman is their friend.”

Maybe cops just like the exper- ience of watching someone mir- aculously fall at their feet- where he can be kicked and bea- ten at will.

Maybe there has been a sudden increase in the number of drunks- violent drunks.

And then, maybe, just maybe, the revolution is happening right now in Preston, London, Water- loo, Stratford, Windsor, and Hespeler.

Doubtful, though.
