It, too, is distorted, and while I completely concur with its recommendation that I, as a “ close associate” of the Students’ Legislative Council should not be editing the georgian, the fact that not a single member of Mr. Bowman’s staff was capable of assuming the position upon his removal speaks to his organizational ability and is of crucial significance in evaluating his competence. Mr. Bowman’s removal was supported by a significant number of people (myself included) who last year publically supported and defended Mr. Frank Brayton whose competence was beyond question but whose removal was sought on political grounds. Mr. Bowman does not fit into either category however. He was fired for both journalistic and financial incompetence, both of which are valid grounds for dismissal, even in CUP’s charter. Moreover, Mr. Bowman violated the implicit code of trust which must exist between a newspaper and its readers if the paper is to be a viable social force in the community. That the Commission of Inquiry felt that “editorial freedom” includes the license to distort, fabricate, and expose both the publishers and the Uni- versity itself to legal action, demonstrates just how far apart we are on agreement of what that basic concept means.

Students’ Association Executive blasts Canadian University Press

At a crowded press conference held Tuesday afternoon the Executive of the Students’ Association strongly condemned Canadian University Press, both for its national coverage of the recent events at Sir George Williams and for the results of last week’s CUP inquiry into the firing of former georgian editor, David Bowman.

In a harshly-worded letter to CUP President Kevin Peterson, Students’ Association President Manny Kalles termed CUP coverage of the destruction of the University’ s Computer Centre “ distor­ted” and “ libelous” . He cited as one example, Peterson’ s own editorial in The Peak (Simon Fraser University), in which Peterson termed the events at Sir George Williams “ a police riot” .

■ Kalles also accused CUP of’ slander in its news story of February 12, which quotes Act­ing Principal D.B. Clarke as having allegedly told the police he “ wanted them out of there, and I don’ t care how you do it” . Kalles explained that in fact, Principal Clarke was not even in the building that day.

Norman Lazare, interim edi­tor of the georgian, said that “ beyond its being biased, CUP coverage of the entire affair was distorted and fictitious.”

“ In the name of ‘writing through a perspective’ ,” he said,

“ CUP has seriously mislead Canadian students about what really happened here and why.”

Several questions arose about the report of the CUP inquiry into the recent firing of geor­gian editor-in-chief David Bow­man.

explained that the federal charter of CUP makes no provision for such an action.

Kalles explained that the sta­tus of the hearing itself was in doubt, since it had been called for by the former editor. He

Kalles also stated, however, that the more contentious issue was the substance of the report itself. He charged that the Com­mission’ s account of the hearing displayed the same kinds of “ distortion” as the CUP re­ports about Sir George, quoting members of the Student Council “ selectively and out of context” .

The Executive decision to condemn Canadian University Press, came after a rowdy and abortive meeting of the Students’ Legisla­tive Council Monday night.Irwin Litvack,who acted as Chairman,adjourned the meeting after

trying to secure order throughout 40 minutes of sporatic shouting and constitutional haggling on the part of Council members and on lookers.

Acting Principal D.B. Clarke Sir George Williams University Montreal, Quebec Canada

Dear Acting Principal Clarke:We, the undersigned faculty members

and students, wish to affirm the following view of our University and its situation.

A STATEMENT OF PRINCIPLESSir George Williams University is a

democratic university committed to the principles of equal opportunity, freedom, and justice. It is dedicated to the spirit of free inquiry, provides a forum for all views, and thrives on the clash of ideas concerning the vital issues of the day. By providing an open environment for the conduct of inquiry, the accumulation and dissemination of knowledge, the exercise of imagination, and the education of its members, the University assists in the improvement of society.

Although individuals in the University may be involved in political movements and support different ideologies, the Uni­versity as an institution must observe ideological neutrality. It is the responsi­bility of the student to discriminate bet­ween the conflicting values he will be exposed to and select those which he will carry with him into society at large.THE DEFENSES OF THESE VALUES

We find it necessary to reaffirm this view of a democratic university at a time when Sir George Williams University

faces attacks from self-proclaimed re­volutionaries, as well as proponents of reaction, both of whom would destroy this University and its values. We believe that the cause of social progress cannot be advanced by the destruction of such a university. To insure its survival and development, a democratic university most demand of its members the accep­tance of these principles.

While we seek to examine the causes for the events of February 11, 1969, we 'can find no justification for the violence which occurred on that day. A democratic institution under physical assault must find the means to defend itself, but this must be done without succumbing to the proponents of a dictatorship. It is in this spirit that:

(1) we support the initiative of the University Council in proclaiming the emergency regulations of February 13th (attached). We believe that these regu­lations should be widely publicized and enforced;

(2) we urge University Council and the Students Legislative Council to make the following additions to its regulations:

(a) all signs, leaflets, and publications in the University must carry the name or names of the person(s) who are res- ponsable in law in the event of suits for libel or slander;

(b) organizations, as well as indivi­duals, whose actions are in violation of University regulations will, after due process, be denied the use of Univer­sity facilities;

(3) we further recommend that a do­cument be drafted within the next six weeks for discussion and amendment, setting forth the limits necessary for the maintenance of academic order in the University, proposing permanent pro­cedures to deal with those who violate its principles and regulations, and offer­ing constructive avenues for the redress of legitimate grievances;

(4) finally, we recommend that in the case of alleged violations of University regulations, every effort should be made to determine the degree of involvement of the participants, so that the appropria­te distinctions can be made.

The Right to be HeardSir George Williams is a racist university.Or so they say, in parts of C anad a as well as far a w a y , in the

United States and the West Indies. Certainly the lowest and worst charge, it is by no means the only serious distortion existing in the minds of too m any people concerning recent events here.

The sources for the general slanderous image of Sir George vary. One of the most persistently prolific — and thus most con­sistently contemptible — has been the Canadian University Press.

The georgian's principled decision to w ithdraw from CUP on March 4 w as at once timely and necessary, given the nature of CUP reporting of the university's crisis and the known extent of the association's influence within the university community.

Among other things, the georgian's w ithdraw al is a specific and positive commitment to the formidable task of rebuilding the just -- and deserved — im age of this school as one of the finest institutes of higher learning on this continent.

The rejection of CUP, which w as once a credit to the prin­ciples of enlightened and informed journalism but has been pro­ducing 'news' for some time now under the general by-line of yellow journalism, is also timely.

The immediate event which forced the georgian to disassociate itself from the national body w as the CUP Commission of Inquiry Report on the firing of ex-editor David Bowm an. The 14-page Report, released February 24th, is an insult to the tradition of the free press. It is also the latest printed distortion of events at Sir George.

The three commissioners who conducted the 'inquiry' and produced the Report, Mssrs. Paul MacRae of the Varsity, Tony Burman of Loyola N ew s and Dick MacDonald of The Montreal Star, must be left to their own conscience.

They leave us with a problem, however.The problem raised by their performance is one of estim at­

ing how successful w e can expect to be in our attempt to receive a public hearing. The need for a w ide public audience is evident - to all those who take the charge of racism seriously, that is.

Can the georgian by itself rebuild the dam aged public image, here as well as nationally and internationally?

We doubt it. But w e have tried. First, the georgian w ithdrew from CUP. Next, its editors and members of the Students' As­sociation called a press conference to announce the w ithdraw al and, perhaps more important, to appeal to the press, radio and television for a full hearing and an end to the past,present dis­tortion, and the potential destruction of the future of this school.

Alas, few came.Can w e do more, w e wonder, than invite the media to carry the

full story to the public? Probably not. Can one do more than ap­peal to principles?

For exam ple, can one invite the editors of those Canadian newspapers who are members of CUP and have believed CUP's press releases to recall the tradition of the free press? Are they, perhaps, under some ethical law s of journalism which demand full, hard-digging coverage of the events, before and after Fe­bruary 11th?

Can one, perhaps, propose to The Montreal Star to avail itself of unpublished, unheard material whose publication is legitimate, and which w as available at the March 4th press conference? It is still available.

Is there still a tradition of the free press?Are there still defenders of the principles of responsible

journalism?Unlike the black complainants, the anarchists and rioters;

unlike Canadian University Press and Mssrs. Bowm an, MacRae, MacDonald and Burman, we ask the media and the public to take nothing on faith, on blind loyalty or allegiance.

But justice requires that the unheard individuals and unheard information concerning the crisis here at Sir George be given equal hearing — equal, that is, to the hearing accorded to the accusers.

U. Lingies

lettersMistakes says heEditor, the georgian:

I’m moved to write this note because of the vast amont of news space given the recent disturbances at Sir George both by my paper, The Calgary Herald, and others here in the West.

At the outset, I’d like to say that the many Georgians in these parts have suf­fered greatly the hands of Canadian Press, which seemed to work diligently at keeping as much information as pos­sible from us. I learned more from na­tional rumor mill than I did from CP.

The issues finally cleared themselves in my mind when I read Canadian Uni­versity Press copy on the incident.

“ The Anderson Affair” is unfortunate, in my mind, for several reasons: The occupation of the computer centre, was, in my estimation, a good tactic poorly used. It is a good revolutionary tactic, but in this case what was lacking was a truly revolutionary cause.

I too in my varied career at Sir George suffered at the hands of my lecturers in the matter of marking papers. This, from what I have heard here in the West, is the substance of the racism charge placed by a number of Blacks against Anderson.

Well, that’ s not where the revolution is to be found, man. I frankly suspect here a case of revolutionaries looking for a cause. Unfortunately they were too eager, and picked a bummer.

Had they come up with a good cause - knowing that university as I do, they’re a dime a dozen -- the computer centre occupation tactic would have been a good one.

But where they really blew it was in­sinuating during the occupation that they would destroy the equipment. That part of the tactic was poor. It is an anarchist, rightist tactic, which has no place in a revolution unless it is part of a univers­al plan to overthrow the entire society - part of a full-scale, shooting revolution. The Anderson case wasn’t this.

As soon as they threatened destruction of the computers, they lost their negotiat­ing edge. They were no longer screwing up the whole university by cutting off the machine’ s brain. They were threaten­ing violence if they didn’ t get their way. This is not negotiation. It’ s war, and that’ s not negotiable.

The only way you can end a threat like this is a knuckle to knuckle confrontation with the cops, and the Montreal cops have a crack riot squad which the com­puter centre occupiers must have known would eventually crush them.

Now here’ s a key point. If they had oc­cupied the computer centre without the threat of destroying the machinery, they’d have won any confrontation with the police. They’d have lost the physical confrontation if it came, but would have won the moral battle, which, after all, short of a full revolution, is the real battle.

I agree there was poor decision-mak­ing during the occupation, but this was true of all sides, administration, blacks, occupiers, students legislative council, and others.

The scene with the letters in Dr. O’Brien’ s office was, plainly, a fascist move, with nothing to redeem it.

The single redeeming feature to come from the destruction of the computer centre is, to paraphrase an American black leader, that bodies were thrown into the gears of the monolithic machine, and it was forced to grind to a stop.

But machines, once destroyed, can easily be replaced. A mind turned is only bent back with difficulty. The occupa­tion, if it tried to do anything positive, should have aimed at minds, not at ma­

chines. After all, they’ve fouled up the , university for a few months, but they ■ didn’t bring it to its knees.

The long-term effects of this abortion in revolution are hard to assess, parti­cularly from these parts. But the regu­lations posted by the administration in the aftermath of the occupation are sure to be stringently enforce.

Their net effect will be: to increase repressive measures on the part of the university, and thereby cutting down on the freedom and the spirit of inquiry which has been possible at that univer­sity in the past; and, to set the cause of revolutionary change back at least three years.

Two further comments.On the matter of criminal charges fac­

ing the students. Beward of double jeopar­dy. Since the university did not apply internal discipline procedures, there is no contradiction in placing charges through the courts.

There, they will either be proved guilty or cleared of the charges, but they should not face double jeopardy -- punishment both from the court and from the university, through later sus­pension, for instance. Nor whould any of them be deported. This is patently a double standard, one for white Canadians and another for Black East Indians.

The final mistake I wish to discuss is the firing of the editor-in-chief of The Georgian. If this came about as a result of him publishing daily during the cri­sis, then the SLC should be fired'T'Cer- tainly, there is no more propitious time to “ go daily” with the campus paper, in order to keep students and other readers up to date. To do otherwise would have been a derelection of duty.

Violence condemnedEditor, the georgian;

I wish to express my view, that of an interested private citizen, of the violence which occurred at your university, Feb­ruary 11,1969.

It has been refreshing to see the stu­dents at your university and at other universities in Canada bringing pressure to bear on the university administration to correct injustices and to up-date uni­versity institutions. In this way public attention is drawn to the need for change, and university administrations are forced to take prompt action to the benefit of the university and ultimately the Canadiai people.

It is of very grave concern to me; how­ever, that a demonstration of students in a country whose foundation is built on respect for the rights and freedom of others should erupt in violence. Vio­lence and the resulting infringement on the rights and property of others (in this case, the rights and property of fellow' students, university staff members, and Quebec taxpayers) negates the very de­mocratic process, and in my opinion draws attention away from the issue of contention and focuses it on the violence itself. It is my opinion that this anarchial student violence has smashed the image of students as concerned leaders for tomorrow, striving for reform and jus­tice, and will turn many responsibly pri­vate citizens against all student move­ments for reforms.

It is my conclusion; therefore, that the violence shown by students at your university has seriously crippled the ef­fectiveness of the students at your uni­versity and at universities across Canada to bring about beneficial changes students desire.

Yours sincerely, David W. Patton

A fo re lettersCandidatescriticized

Editor, the georgian;It is now election time again.

Loads of people are running for loads of positions. From last year’s election results, several key positions were resigned within a few months after the elections. Why do these people resign - Louis Novak, Sol Schi- nasi, Aaron Caplan, Geoff Po­wers, just to name a few? Be­cause they didn't want the job in the first place. That's right, they didn’ t want the “job ” . What they did want was the privilege of writing “ President of the Stu­dents’ Legislative Council” in all their job applications and personnel resumes. The student body was brainwashed and led into believing that we were vot­ing for honourable, interested students, when all we were doing was satisfying the desires of a few status seekers. I can see the same thing happening this year.

Of all the “ candidates” this year, how many are you, the student, willing to back perso­nally? I know only 4 candidates and will only back one of them. I might also ask the student body, how many of these “ can­didates” , pardon the expression, would you hire to work for you if you owned a business? Any of our honourable candidates couldn’ t even get a job with their beautiful appearances, none the less a position on our legislative council.

Why not make our candidates sign contracts to complete the year, at all times fulfilling the needs and interests of the stu­dents; pay them a salary (eg $100) and have a committee to judge their performance? They may be fired at any time; how­ever, the salary would only be paid to those who complete the year. This is the only way that we can secure any sort of res­ponsible student government. If a guy is not functioning efficient­ly, fire him. The only way to encourage someone to work is to offer them some type of remuneration. How do we finance their salaries? Make the Geor­gian on a voluntary basis; no one should be forced to pay for a product that they do not desire or have no need for.

This is the way I feel. I won’t run this year for a position because I refuse to take on any responsibility unless I am 100% positive that I can give this res­ponsibility my fullest attention and consideration at all times. (Wouldn’ t it be nice if our can­didates would follow this theory.)

I’ ll vote for anyone who Iknow is mature enough to accept and fulfill responsibility.

A liberal speaks out

Editor, the georgian;I am very disturbed and sad­

dened by Miss Vivian Carson’ s

letter which appeared in the Feb­ruary 26 georgian. Miss Car­son wrote:

Many mem bers of the faculty are openly supporting the Feb­ruary 11 destruction, and camp­aigning to raise funds to aid the jailed destroyers.

... These people should be removed from the University and their “ cause” hindered in every way.

... these impure particles... risk infecting the whole insti­tution...

Since I was one of those who signed a letter urging members of faculty, in the interests of seeing that the arrested students received due process of law, to contribute to a fund providing bail money and legal fees for the arrested students, I assume Miss Carson includes me in those she castigates.

I should like to explain toMiss Carson that at least oneof the signatories of this letter wished the arrested students to be prosecuted so far as the law allowed, and to pay the full pe­nalties imposed by the law after a proper trial, but at the same time did insist that the trialmust be proper, just, and fair.

However, since this was not my own position, perhaps I should explain what it was. If I subscribe to any “ cause,” it is liberalism. As a liberal (of the “ bleeding-heart” variety, I suppose) unfortunately I am not able to consult either Chairman Mao’s Red Book or Robert Welch’ s Blue Book in order to learn what I must think and say.I have no party leadership to instruct me as to the “ correct position” on any issue. I am left with no party line to follow. Sometimes I have wished that I did have such easy answers as the people of the Right and the Left are so eager to supply, instead of finding myself wan­dering about in the wilderness of conscience, emotion, doubt and uncertainty. Only I find that I am not yet ready to be mentally castrated.

Consequently, I find that I have to learn as much as I can about an issue -- any issue — before I can make a true judgement of it. Sometimes I make what I hope is a true judgement only to find I am wrong and perhaps even silly. But I prefer to admit that I don’ t know, or that I am wrong or foolish, rather than to blindly believe that I am right, “ correct,” and smug in my lit­tle truth.

At the moment I do not know enough about the events of April 1968-February 1969 to condemn > either the students, Professor Anderson, the Administration, the present and former members of the Hearing Committee, etc. The only people I presently am prepared to condemn are those persons who sought--and still seek--to muddy the issues, to use them for their own personal or political benefit, to manipulate opinion and facts. I am prepared to condemn, too, those people who make rash judgements. I am prepared to condemn those

people who would throw away reason, compassion, and our le­gal apparatus for the sake of “ law and order.”

But I do not necessarily wish to have such people “ removed from the University.” That is the trouble with liberals, you see: we believe that human be­ings are capable of growth and equally capable of reason. We feel that, provided with all the information on issues, people

can, in the end, arrive at rational and humane conclusions. Gene­rally we do not subscribe to the idea that “ you have to break a few eggs to make an om elet,” since we tend not to see human beings as faceless ovals, and shun terms like “ the masses.”

There, Miss Carson, that is my position. That is why I want to see people who are entitled to bail receiving it, and people who are entitled to a fair trial

receiving one. If you still believe that I “ risk infecting the whole institution,” well, so be it. And if you still believe I “ should be removed from the Univer­sity,” and you happen to be in the majority, so be that, as well.

Toilet tissue issueITTA BENA, Miss. (CPS)

— Mississippi Valley campus is back to normal after six days of student unrest that paralyzed the black-attended white-sup- ported institution.

Sit-ins and a 90 per cent- effective boycott of classes last­ing a week grew from the ad­ministration’ s refusal to meet some 26 demands set down by student leaders.

Clear differences can be ob­served between recent Missis­sippi Valley demonstrations and student unrest across the nation. In other student action often only a minority of the students have become involved, but at MVSC at least 90 per cent participated.

Another difference was that with the exception of minor win­dow breakage there was no re­ported outbreak of violence. The students did not want to run the college, nor did they capture the administration building — all they asked was reasonable rules.

Their complaints may seem ridiculous until existing condi­tions are examined. MVSC stu­dents must obtain permission to leave campus or to have off- campus dates. Freshman girls have to be in their dormitories by nine o’ clock every night, up- perclass women by ten o’ clock.

The seat of the problem (so to speak) may have been that girls must sign out for toilet tissue because none is kept in the restrooms. Certainly few other campuses have witnessed clashes over the right of the ad­ministration to control toilet tis­sue.

The confrontations have been supported by state civil rights leaders. Charles Evers told Mis­sissippi Valley State students to boycott classes, “ but do not break a single window.” Fannie Lou Hamer, co-chairman of the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party, referred to Dr. J. H. White, the President, as a “ sick cat at Mississippi Valley State College.”

The Mississippi Valley inci­dent also revealed once again the bigotry of the press in the Mississippi state capitol. The Clarion-Ledger, the state’ s largest newspaper, printed sta­tements from Dr. White, who told Mississippians every day that the boycott had ended, when in actuality not one student was attending classes.

Although the university pres­ident is black, MVSC students seem to hold little respect for him. As one student said, “ Dr. White is a Black man, but he thinks like a Mississippi white man. Of course that is how he got his job .”

Georgians capture OSL ChampionshipCoach Dave Dies and the

Georgians had been the only team during league play to score a victory over the Loyola war­riors and they proved their strength once again by defeating them 4 to 2 last Friday to win the OSL playoffs. Now its off to Edmonton to play St. Dunstan’ f for the C.I.A.U. Hockey Cham­pionships.

The Georgians started off ve­ry slow and it was only due to the superb goal keeping of Tom Anderson that prevented Loyo­la from scoring in the first few minutes of the first period. It was not until late in this period that Barry Cullen with assist from Jim Webster and John Murray, on a power play, was

able to put one past Loyola goa­lie Brian Hughes. That started the ball rolling and before long the same score was 2-0 thanks to the great slapshooting of Bill Ellyett. \

The Georgians started the second period off strong with Bill Ellyett scoring his second goal of the game at the 1.05 mark. It was now 3-0 and Webster’s goal five minutes la­ter upped the score to 4-0 for Sir George.

In order not to make the Loy­ola team look too bad, Tom Anderson, having played a bril­liant game, was unable to stop Loyola Warrior Pete Marin from scoring in the third period. Lo­yola was only able to score one

more goal during this period with the final score being 4-2 for Sir George, the new OSL Champions.

It was only a matter of for­mality for Sir George to play Bishop’ s in the finals on Satur­day in order to clinch their 1st place standing. Something could be said for the referring in both games, possibly since the same referres were officiating at both games. The referring was definitely not equal to the hockey being played on the ice.

Georgian fans can watch the CIAU finals from Edmonton March 9 on channel 6 at 4:30 P.M. When hopefully the Geor­gians will be playing against Toronto or Alberta for the cup.

Georgian swimmers off to NationalsSir George has the best chance ever of winning

a National Collegiate Championship, when the swimmers travel to Fredericton N.B. to compete in the C.I.A.U. championships at U.N.B.

The Georgians are undefeated this year having beaten some of the best teams in the country. The Georgians have won the Coupe de Quebec, the Cardinal Relays in Plattsburg, swept the O.S.L. Championship, beat Vermont and they have also beaten McGill three times. Incidently the McGill squad is ranked one of the best teams in the coun­try behind Sir George and the University of Toronto.

The Georgians are led by three Canadian Na­tional Swin Team Members. They are John Hawes, Peter Cross and Blackie Chase. Hawes is favoured to win the back-stroke events at the Nationals, but he will face though competition from last years champion Gaye Strallen of Toronto, as well as his own teammate Doug Hogg, who ranks in the top third on the Canadian Collegiate listing.

Blackie Chase and Pete Cross are expected to place first and second in both the 100 and 200 yeard breast-stroke events. Sir George has never had finer breast-stroke swimmers in its history. Chase has represented Canada at the British

Empire and Commonwealth Games and the Stu­dent World Games in Tokyo. Cross has been on numerous Canadian teams competing against the U.S. National Team.

Chase is also entered in the 200 Individual re­lay event. This is a race where all four strokes are swum. If his past times are any indication Chase is also favoured to win this event. Mean­while Cross will enter the 50 yeard freestyle sprint, where he hopes to finish in the top three.

Rounding out the rest of the Georgian Team is Clifford Barry, an exceptionally strong and talent­ed butterflier, who will team up with Cross Chase and Hawes to from the medley relay. This team is also favoured to win, but some exceptionally tough competition is expected from the University of Toronto.Ken Ransom and Pierre Dussault are expected to make the finals in their respective butterfly and freestyle events. The points they earn will be of the utmost importance if_ Sir George is to win this championship.

March 7 and 8 will be the days of truth facing the Georgian Swim Team.
