“cadres of ss” wrote lennie cohen in ﬂowers for hitler, and he was so right, we certainly are. a cadre of superstars. this week meeting to sing “the bear went over the moun- tain” are terry, still as confused as the rest of us, jim, (who has given charlottetown 24 hours to get out of town), dennis, (who’s afraid to take anyone home to meet his mommy), garybear, (the new hell’s angel), martin, (who called bearheart a fascist and was roundly applauded before being gunned down), mike, (who hopes to fill hornby’s paw- prints), dave, (who joined the young nazi party in a famous pix of the same name), karl, a shadowy figure at best, con- tributed his little all, dave the mitch was apparently rapped er up weeks ago sports fans, no token women this week, none of them were good enough to make the grade, maybe well have to go to hafilax again. there is no truth to the rumors that more] will get a_ dildo factory courtesy of the development plan, or that the band of the revolution will change its name to “the plastic bearheart band”. as our loser of the week wed like to nominate james spiro ross (spiross?) for the totally false rumour that we wrecked part of the sub bathroom as well as for the moving state- ment “the people want a dictator. does this mean we’re, being ha-rossed? just for that jmmy boy, you’re not in-‘ vited to our next orgy. now...stay tuned for the exciting final chapter of The Great Canadian Novel or is it naval.

alice and angie have come to the end of the line and the conclusion of their weary travels as cap’n bearheart morosely leads them thru the ghOStly corridors of upee. while the mindless grey/green sickness hovered over the heads of the coffeeplaying cardrinkers, and the radicals who sit in the middle of the invisibly-burning (structure) muttering right on to the firemen. who are the brain police?—we must know by now. sly and the family bear were being repulsed by the student non-coordinating violent committee, whose mem- bership has increased dramatically recently. the bear party attempted a coup de bear on captain bearheart: “you’re revolting,” he observed. “you’re not so goddam great your- self,” they replied. meanwhile alice and angie were suffer- ing from a terminal case of ennui, as they had made the mistake of going to one of the classes. but as they stood pondering what to do, the student non-coordinating violent committee had seen its chance and snuck craftily up behind them. snvc attacked suddenly, blud geoning our traveling twosome viciously to death with hardcover copies of “mein kampf” and “mussolini’s letters to his mother”, where they lay in the middle of kent street, their bodies crushed and broken, with globules of their blood pulsating gently in the setting sun. only one question remains: shud auld acquain- tance be forgot and never brought to mind? from our ex- perience, wed have to say yes. peace.

ANTI-DOPE GROUP

Editor, The Cadre, Sir,

Regarding a'current issue “Should the drug, marijuana, be legalized- in Canada ?” concerned par- ents in the City of Barrie, Ontario, are discovering through the circulating of a petition that 95% of contacts do not want the drug legalized. We also feel it necessary ’ to let our national government know this by raising the voice of the people. Too many commissions, bodies of university students and general influential people are recommending legalization. The voice of the people must be heard without delay. The most effective method is by personal correspondence to the government either direct or through your local member of parliament.

The plan is to petition in your University for about two months as soon as possible. A “key” person is necessary in each locality to advertise, dis- tribute and make contacts to begin with, afterwhich, the action snowballs. The petitioners can be any individual concerned with: the cause. Petitioners take their petition to their clubs, games, work, on weekly visits to stores, garages etc, or canvass door to door in their neighbourhood to get signatures. Where a contact wishes enlightenment a brochure regarding pros, cons, effects, results etc, of mari- juana are handed out. A record' is kept of the num- ber of contacts wanting legalization so that a com- parison can be made. No skill is necessary to be a “key” person to spearhead this undertaking; just a person dedicated to the cause and willing to put some time and effort forth. It is not a political issue but strictly a social improvement endeavour. Petitions will finally be sent to the federal govern- ment.

Here in Barrie and district nearly 90 petition- ers were obtained with a minimum of effort. Help can be obtained through radio and local papers. Very little money is involved. Petitions and literature are read-y and will be forwarded on request.

The petition does not attack the root of the drug problem. The root of the problem may lie with us parents. Perhaps it is the permissiveness of modern methods of rearing our children; deny- ing them proper instruction regarding self-discip- line, and appreciation of care and favours showered upon them. The old adage still holds true, “As the twig is bent so doth the tree incline.” Are our children, in their innocent wisdom, and at the cost of some of their lives, trying to tell us something and are we listening?

Perhaps it is the example we set when we abuse alcohol and chain smoke sigarettes, thereby, reveal— ing a disdain for the future, at the same time we say to our young, “Don’t touch drugs”, the use of which could result in the same end.

If we will allow intelligence and ordinary com- mon sense to direct our thought and actions, I am sure we can arrive at a corrective solution to the everaincreasing drug situation, in our country. In the meantime the petition will, we hope, help to pro mote serious thinking and prevent action that would, no doubt, magnify the problem.

Anyone in your city desiring to help us in this worthy cause, please write me. .

‘ Hoping to get help from many concerned par- ents, and thank you for printing my letter,

Sincerely,

Mrs. W. Mallory, 11 Creswick Court, Barrie, Ontario.

CAMPUS POLITICS

7 Mr. Editor:

In the past three years I have been involved in campws life to a small degree, but enough to know the general apathetic outlook of many students on campu:s——this is a point that has been push-ed so far that it seems to have trained the students to act this way. But this does not mean that these stud- ents don’t have an outlook on campus life. The ma- jority of students on campus is conservative mind— ed, actually at the university for an education as well as ample. entertainment of their own kind. Granted, the reason why the university degree is wanted seems to be only because of the “institu- tion”.

It seems to me that most students Willing to do some work in the necessary positions on campus are the students with the “alternatives” as Mr. Mac-

Kay so vaguely put it. (hereafter called group A, ,

since Mr. MacKay dislikes the word radicals so

much.) I should qualify that statement by stating that I hope the Student's Council now in power will strongly scrutinize all issues to come up in the HeXt Year. But with other influential students sub- tly lobbying their opinions, it’s very hard to decide on various issues in a way that reflects the opin- ions of the “Silent Majority” (Hereafter referred to as group B.) “Silent Majority” might be a bad choice of words because of the obvious connections, but I truly feel that these students who refuse to air their opinions are in a majority (considering the society around us) and they should be nurtured towards voicing their opinions, not “politicized” (a fancy words for indoctrinated or brainwashed) into reflecting someone else’s philosophy. Thus the cri- tical issue is how to make these students more aud- ible, not to change their whole outlook, then, as a sidedproduct, bearing more comments from them. I have to laugh when this group A complains of being put down by the group B, and yet they feel that they have a responsibility to “politicize” group B toward becoming radicals (pardon me group A) thus relieving apathy. This seems a bit hypocritical. Does group A not voice extreme discontent with the “institution” for this very reason?

Much worse, this“ “politicizing” has infested areas other than the university" circle. The Educa- tion Committee professes to be a “better-than- nothing” body set up to help the silent, docile sec- tion of society. Not only‘ do I question their quali- fications to do so, but I wonder if they are not go- ing about it in the same way as our group A — through “politicizing” of their “alternatives”. In their paper on objectives, one purpose was to help I, the students of the high schools in their plight. If they were involved in Montague High School is- sues, well, one can see how the students “thanked” them. Even if it wasn’t the Education Committee that was directly involved, I am sure that it is “members, of our group A” that prompted the letter from the Montague Students- Council.

And ,V what burns me is that this is done using some of the UPELSU funds, inferring that the poli- cies and actions are those of the majority of stud- ents. Yet the committee finds it necessary to “poli- ticize” night on campus» to make “demands” on the council to back up “their” (group A’s) demands.

Don’t get me wrong. I think that radicals. (par- don again—group A) are necessary. Without these extreme alternatives, how could progress exist? But these extremes, whether they be radical or conser- vative, must be carefully weighed by our council before any action, in the name of the whole uni- versity is taken. I think that this attempt at con- census politics is called democracy, Good luck UPEISU. ‘ "
