S ENTS F If the meeting that was held a week ago last Sunday night had had 1000 students and 100 faculty present; I am convinced that_this strike would have been settled very quickly. However as we have seen there is a tremendous divis ion among the faculty and students as to what course of action should be taken. It is fairly evident that150 peo- ple cannot dictate what1450 "ill do. So while this tempo— rary boycott of classes was a great step forward in aid of a just cause it a130 proved how divided this 'university community' is. Together we stand, divided we fall. A div— ided effort on the part of students and faculty there— fore had very little impact in; alleviating this present sit- uation. A friend of mine once told me never to let education interfere with learning. For example, you cannot teach jus— tice, one has to discover what it is. One has to see feel,and touch it. Are we really lear— ning here in academia or are we just preoccupying ourselves with meaningless information that further perpetrates a sys- tem of injustice. It is vital We educate ourselves to the ' needs and demands of the day. How can this feat be accompl— ished, though when marks, sal— aries, and the quest for the "good life" are more import— ant than justice? Let's face it, we are presently being prepared to go out into the world and make the Almighty Dollar, as well as compete, compare, consume, and satify our temporary lust for mater— ial whims and wishes. So, will today's student picketeers be tomorrows administratbrs, sub- ject to the same binds that the present administration is- in vis a vis the maintenance workers demands? Will today's student or faculty picketeers consistently respond to the call for justice or will he or she follow the Pied Piper be— cause it's the thing to do and just have another good time? i.e. march on the Premier's office. ’ IVERSITY The following is a para- phrase of Pedro Arrupe. , The man who lives only for his own interests not only provides nothing for others; he does worse. He accummulates in exclusive fashion more and more knowledge, more and more power, mare and more wealth, thus denying, inevitably, th those weaker than himself the proper share of the God-given means for Human Development. What is it to humanize the ,fiduals-do." world but to put it at the service of mankind. But the egotist not only does not hu- manize the material creation, he dehumanizes men themselves. He changes men into things by dominating them, exploiting them, and taking unto himself the fruits of their labour. The trajedy of all thisis that the egytist in the procezs de- humanizes himself as well. He surrenders himself to the po— cessions he covets; he becomes their slave - no longer a per— son self—possessed but a crea- ture driven by his' blind desire for these objects. But when we dehumanize and deptrsonalize ourselves in this way, something stirs within ourselves. We feel frustrated. In our hearts we know-that 'what we have is nothingtcom— pared to what we are, what we can be, what we would like to be, what we should be. We would like to be ourselvestBut we dare not break the vicious circle. We think that we can overcome our frustrations by striving to have ever more and more. We thus turn our lives in to a competitive rat race of ambition, competition, and self—destruction which twists and expands increasingly with the result that we are ever more chained to a progressive and progressively frustrating dehumanization. How do we es— cape from this vicious cycle? Clearly the whole process has its roots in egotism; in the denial of love. But to try and live in love in a world where the prevailing climate is ego— tism and injustice, where ego; tism and injustice are built into the very fabric of soci- ety — is this not a fruitless and possibly suicidal under- taking? Do not allow yourself to be overcome by evil but rather overcome evil with good. Are we not living a contradiction if we choose to anihilate the agressor with his own weapons. If you fight fire with fire, both sides get burned. Hence evil is only overcome by good, hate by love, egotism by gen— erosity. It is in this manner that we may now sow justice in our world. To be just, it is not enough to refrain from in— justice. One must go further and refuse to play the game, substituting love for self— infiwest as the driving force of society. The question I now ask is this: Is the very survival of_v humanity still considered a Utopian hope? Or a possible reality? Hopefully, there is hope because what is consider— ed Utopian-can indeed~be sub- stituted for what we presently have. In essense, society will“ Anever change uhless we 13s {ughL Art Laffin
