georgian
At the news conference called Tuesday afternoon to respond to the recent
Canadian University Press Commission, georgian interim editor, Norman Larare released a letter announcing the georgian's withdraw! from CUP.
He charged that CUP was partly responsible for "yellow journalism ...
emerging on Canadian campuses". He added that under the circumstances,
the georgian's membership in the CUP organization was "untenable".
The full text of the letter to CUP President Keum Peterson reprinted below.
Text of letter to CUP
March 4,1969
Dear Mr. Peterson,
This letter is to inform you that the georgian is withdrawing
from membership in the Canadian University Press, effective
immediately. This decision has grown out of several factors which
have crystallized both during the recent trouble here, and as a
result of the CUP Commission report on the removal of Mr.
David Bowman from his position as Editor-in-Chief.
It has, during this period, become clear to me that much of
the yellow journalism which has for several years, been emerging
on Canadian campuses, can be traced directly to CUP. You seem
to be labouring under the delusion that you are producing radical
copy and that as a result, any and all forms o f distortions and
fabrications are excusable.
The story which carried your by-line for example, and which
dealt with the violence of February 11th, directly quotes D.B.
Clarke, the Principal, as telling the Police, “ Get them (the
students) out, and I don’t care how you do it.” This is a fabrica­
tion. Just one of many instances during that period when CUP pre­
sented fiction and tried to pass it off as truth. That you glorify in
your biased and inaccurate coverage is, in itself, unfortunate.
But the blatent dishonesty of your copy is unacceptable. If the
facts which CUP compiles from all parties concerned (something
not even attempted during the recent crisis) do violence to your
superfluous theories of what should be happening, then the onus
is on you to construct new theories, not to construct different facts.
The CUP Commission’ s report, clearly, was drawn up within
this framework. It, too, is distorted, and while I completely concur
with its recommendation that I, as a “ close associate” o f 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. Bowm an’s removal was supported b y a significant number
of people (m yself 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 im plicit 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.
In the light of this, the georgian has no alternative but to
withdraw from CUP until CUP’ s conception of what editorial
freedom and editorial responsibility are, becom es more realistic.
r
Sincerely,
Norman Lazare

SIR GEORGE WILLIAMS
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
M anny Kalles termed CUP coverage of the destruction of the University’ s Computer Centre “ distor­
ted” 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 A ct­
ing 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 edi­
tor 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,
Ottawa
journey
planned
A four man delegation headed
by Students’ Association Presi­
dent M anny Kalles is off to O t­
tawa today to m eet with party
leaders and m em bers of par­
liament.
The delegation is expected to
m eet Treasury Board President
C.M. Drury, M anpower and
Immigration
Minister
Allan
M acEachen, Conservative leader
R obert
Stanfield,
and
New
Dem ocrat leader T.C. Douglas.
Also included on the agenda
is an address to the Quebec
mem bers of the Liberal caucus.
Kalles said that the principal
reason for the journey is to
provide as much information for
as many m em bers of parliament
as possible, and, he added,
“ ...to dispel the myth that Sir
George is a racist University” .
Kalles said that he hopes the
meeting
with
Immigration
Minister M acEachen will pro­
vide an adequate forum for his
contention that in the future
students from foreign countries
should not be denied adm it­
tance to Canada as a result the
events of February 11.
“ CUP has seriously mislead
Canadian students about what
really happened here and w hy.”
Several questions arose about
the report of the CUP inquiry
into the recent firing of geor­
gian editor-in-chief David Bow­
man.
Kalles explained that the sta­
tus of the hearing itself was in
doubt, since it had been called
for by the former editor. He
explained
that
the
federal
charter of CUP makes no
provision for such an action.
Kalles also stated, however,
that the more contentious issue
was the substance of the report
itself. He charged that the Com­
mission’ s account of the hearing
displayed the same kinds of
“ distortion” as the CUP re­
ports about Sir George, quoting
members of the Student Council
“ selectively and out of context” .
S L C meeting collapses
The Executive decision to condemn Canadian University Press,
came after a rowdy and abortive meeting of the Students’ Legisla­
tive Council M onday 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.
The dispute focused around the
seating of two students as Arts
Council
representatives,
one
being ASA Presidential candi­
date, Marvin Rotrund. One m em ­
ber of the A SA Council, Carlyle
Williams claimed they had been
ratified as voting delegates. A n­
other, Rose Tekel, denied know­
ledge of any such thing. W il­
liams,
shouting
insistantly,
claimed he was empowered to
act on behalf of the Arts Stu­
dents’ Association.
At the urging of some Council
members, another Arts student,
Joseph Roboz, seated himself as
the fifth ASA delegate.
At one point, the Chairman
of the meeting declared a re­
cess, so that the Arts delegation
could resolve its problem, but
W illiams refused. He insisted
that there were five members
present who could act on behalf
of the ASA.
Other members of the Council
objected, and the meeting was
subsequently adjourned.
Almost
immediately
after­
wards,
Executive
Committee
Chairman Don Rosenbaum con­
vened a meeting of the Executi­
ve. He stated that since the
Student Council was unable to
conduct any business, that the
Executive would take up the mat­
ter of responding to -the CUP
Commission report.
SA President Manny Kalles
re-read the letter he had in­
troduced earlier at the Council
meeting, and moved its adoption
as the policy of S.A. Executive
The letter, addressed to CUP
President
Kevin Peterson,
strongly condemned CUP for
“ distortion”
both
in
the
coverage
of
the
“ Anderson
Affair” and for the CUP inquiry
report. After some discussion,
the letter was adopted unanim­
ously.
As the meeting was adjourn­
ed, some members of the S.L.C.
urged that a meeting of the whole
Council be called immediately,
indicating that the ^arlier con­
flict had been ironed out. The
request, however, was denied.

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.
faces attacks from self-proclaimed re­
volutionaries, 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. T o insure its survival and
development, a democratic university
m ost demand of its members the accep­
tance 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 o f 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 regu­
lations 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 STATEMENT OF PRINCIPLES
Sir George Williams University is a
democratic university comm itted 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 Uni­
versity as an institution must observe
ideological neutrality. It is the responsi­
bility of the student to discriminate bet­
ween 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
(a) all signs, leaflets, and publications
in the University must carry the name
or names of the person(s) who are responsable in law in the event of suits for
libel or slander;
(b) organizations, as well as indivi­
duals, whose actions are in violation of
University regulations will, after due
process, be denied the use of Univer­
sity facilities;
(3) we further recommend that a do­
cument 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 pro­
cedures to deal with those who violate
its principles and regulations, and offer­
ing 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 appropria­
te distinctions can be made.

The Right to be Heard
Sir G eorge W illiams is a racist university.
Or so they say, in parts of C a n a d a as w ell as far a w a y , in the
United States and the West Indies. C ertainly the low est an d worst
charge, it is by no m eans the only serious distortion existing in
the m inds of too m any people concerning recent events here.
The sources for the general slanderous im age of Sir George
vary. O ne of the most persistently prolific — and thus most con­
sistently contemptible — has been the C a n a d ia n University Press.
The georgian's principled decision to w ith d ra w from CUP on
March 4 w a s at once tim ely and necessary, given the nature of
CUP reporting of the university's crisis an d the know n extent
of the association's influence w ithin the university com m unity.
Among other things, the georgian's w ith d ra w a l is a specific
and positive commitment to the form idable task of rebuilding
the just -- and deserved — im ag e of this school as one of the
finest institutes of higher learning on this continent.
The rejection of CUP, w hich w a s once a credit to the prin­
ciples of enlightened and informed journalism but has been pro­
ducing 'n ew s' for some time now under the general by-line of
yellow journalism , is also tim ely.
The im m ediate event w hich forced the georgian to disassociate
itself from the national body w a s the CU P Commission of Inquiry
Report on the firing of ex-editor David Bow m 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 w ho conducted the 'inquiry' and
produced the Report, Mssrs. Paul M acRae of the Varsity, Tony
Burman of Loyola N e w s and Dick M acDonald of The Montreal
Star, must be left to their ow n conscience.
They leave us w ith a problem, how ever.
The problem raised by their perform ance is one of estim at­
ing how successful w e can expect to be in our attem pt to receive
a public hearing. The need for a w id e public audience is evident
- to all those w ho take the charge of racism seriously, that is.
C an the georgian by itself rebuild the d am ag ed public im age,
here as w ell as nationally and in tern atio n ally?
We doubt it. But w e have tried. First, the georgian w ith d re w
from CUP. Next, its editors and m em bers of the Students' As­
sociation called a press conference to announce the w ith d ra w a l
and, perhaps more im portant, to ap p eal to the press, radio and
television for a full hearing and an end to the past,present dis­
tortion, and the potential destruction of the future of this school.
A las, fe w cam e.
C an w e do more, w e w onder, than invite the m edia to carry the
full story to the public? Probably not. C an one do more than a p ­
peal to principles?
For exam p le, can one invite the editors of those C a n a d ia n
n ew sp ap ers w ho are m em bers of CU P and have believed CUP's
press releases to recall the tradition of the free press? Are they,
perhaps, under some ethical la w s of journalism w hich dem and
full, hard-digging coverage of the events, before and after Fe­
bruary 1 1th?
C an one, perhaps, propose to The M ontreal Star to avail itself
of unpublished, unheard m aterial w hose publication is legitim ate,
and w hich w a s ava ila b le at the March 4th press conference? It
is still av aila b le .
Is there still a tradition of the free press?
Are there still defenders of the principles of responsible
journalism ?
Unlike the black com plainants, the anarchists and rioters;
unlike C a n a d ia n University Press and Mssrs. Bow m an, M acRae,
M acDonald and Burm an, w e ask the m edia 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.

Mistakes says he
Editor, 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 m y 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 suf­
fered greatly the hands of Canadian
Press, which seemed to work diligently
at keeping as m uch information as pos­
sible from us. I learned more from na­
tional rumor mill than I did from CP.
The issues finally cleared themselves
in my mind when I read Canadian Uni­
versity Press copy on the incident.
“ The Anderson Affair” is unfortunate,
in m y 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 com puter centre
occupation tactic would have been a good
one.
But where they really blew it was in­
sinuating 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 univers­
al 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 negotiat­
ing edge. They were no longer screwing
up the whole university by cutting off
the machine’ s brain. T hey were threaten­
ing 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 M ontreal cops
have a crack riot squad which the com ­
puter centre occupiers must have known
would eventually crush them.
Now here’ s a key point. If they had oc­
cupied the computer centre without the
threat of destroying the machinery,
they’d have won any confrontation with
the police. T hey’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-m ak­
ing 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 occupa­
tion, if it tried to do anything positive,
should have aim ed at minds, not at m a­
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, parti­
cularly from these parts. But the regu­
lations 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 univer­
sity 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 jeopar­
dy. 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 sus­
pension, 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 cri­
sis, then the SLC should be fired'T'Certainly, there is no more propitious time
to “ go daily” with the campus paper,
in order to keep students and other
readers up to date. T o do otherwise
would have been a derelection of duty.

Violence condemned
Editor, the georgian;
I wish to express my view, that of an
interested private citizen, of the violence
which occurred at your university, Feb­
ruary 11,1969.
It has been refreshing to see the stu­
dents at your university and at other
universities in Canada bringing pressure
to bear on the university administration
to correct injustices and to up-date uni­
versity institutions. In this way public
attention is drawn to the need for change,
and university administrations are forced
to take prom pt action to the benefit of
the university and ultimately the Canadiai
people.
It is of very grave concern to me; how­
ever, 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. Vio­
lence 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 de­
mocratic 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 jus­
tice, and will turn many responsibly pri­
vate citizens against all student move­
ments for reforms.
It is my conclusion; therefore, that
the violence shown by students at your
university has seriously crippled the ef­
fectiveness of the students at your uni­
versity and at universities across Canada
to bring about beneficial changes students
desire.
Yours sincerely,
David W. Patton
A fo re letters
Candidates
criticized
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. W hy do these people
resign - Louis Novak, Sol Schinasi, Aaron Caplan, G eoff P o­
wers, just to name a few ? B e­
cause they didn't want the job
in the first place. That's right,
they didn’ t want the “jo b ” . What
they did want was the privilege
of writing “ President of the Stu­
dents’ Legislative Council” in
all their job applications and
personnel resumes. The student
body was brainwashed and led
into believing that we were vot­
ing 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 perso­
nally? I know only 4 candidates
and will only back one of them.
I might also ask the student
body, how many of these “ can­
didates” , 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 com plete the
year, at all times fulfilling the
needs and interests of the stu­
dents; pay them a salary (eg
$100) and have a comm ittee to
judge their perform ance? T hey
may be fired at any time; how­
ever, the salary would only be
paid to those who complete the
year. This is the only way that
we can secure any sort of res­
ponsible student government. If
a guy is not functioning efficient­
ly, 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 Geor­
gian 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 res­
ponsibility m y fullest attention
and consideration at all times.
(W ouldn’ t it be nice if our can­
didates would follow this theory.)
I’ll vote for anyone who I
know is mature enough to accept
and fulfill responsibility.

Commerce II.
A liberal
speaks out
Editor, the georgian;
I am very disturbed and sad­
dened by Miss Vivian Carson’ s
letter which appeared in the F eb­
ruary 26 georgian. Miss Car­
son wrote:
M any m em bers of the faculty
are openly supporting the F eb ­
ruary 11 destruction, and camp­
aigning to raise funds to aid
the jailed destroyers.
... These p eo p le should be
rem oved from the University and
their “ cau se” hindered in every
way.
... these im pure particles...
risk infecting the whole insti­
tution...
Since I was one of those who
signed a letter urging m em bers
of faculty, in the interests of
seeing that the arrested students
received due process of law,
to contribute to a fund providing
bail m oney and legal fees for
the arrested students, I assume
M iss
Carson includes me in
those she castigates.
I should like to explain to
M iss Carson that at least one
of the signatories of this letter
wished the arrested students to
be prosecuted so far as the law
allowed, and to pay the full p e ­
nalties im posed by the law after
a proper trial, but at the same
time did insist that the trial
must 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
M ao’ s
Red Book or Robert
W elch’ 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 m yself wan­
dering 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 m uch as I can about
an issue -- any issue — before
I can make a true judgem ent
of it. Som etim es I make what
I hope is a true judgem ent only
to find I am wrong and perhaps
even silly. But I prefer to adm it
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 lit­
tle truth.
A t the m om ent I do not know
enough about the events of April
1968-February 1969 to condem n >
either the students, Professor
Anderson, the Administration,
the present and former m em bers
of the Hearing Com m ittee, etc.
The only people I presently am
prepared to condem n are those
persons who sought--and still
seek--to m uddy 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 le­
gal 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 b e ­
ings 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. G ene­
rally 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.”
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 Univer­
sity,” and you happen to be in
the majority, so be that, as well.
There, M iss Carson, that is
m y 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

Toilet tissue issue
ITTA BENA, Miss. (CPS)
— Mississippi Valley campus
is back to normal after six days
of student unrest that paralyzed
the black-attended white-supported institution.
Sit-ins and a 90 per centeffective boycott of classes last­
ing a week grew from the ad­
ministration’ s refusal to meet
some 26 demands set down by
student leaders.
Clear differences can be o b ­
served between recent Missis­
sippi Valley demonstrations and
student unrest across the nation.
In other student action often only
a minority of the students have
become involved, but at M VSC
at least 90 per cent participated.
Another difference was that
with the exception of minor win­
dow breakage there was no re­
ported 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 condi­
tions are examined. M VSC stu­
dents must obtain permission
to leave campus or to have offcampus dates. Freshman girls
have to be in their dormitories
by nine o’ clock every night, upperclass women by ten o’ clock.
The seat o f 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 ad ­
ministration to control toilet tis­
sue.
The confrontations have been
supported b y state civil rights
leaders. Charles Evers told M is­
sissippi 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 inci­
dent also revealed once again
the bigotry of the press in the
Mississippi state capitol. The
Clarion-Ledger,
the
state’ s
largest newspaper, printed sta­
tements from Dr. White, who
told Mississippians every day
that the boycott had ended, when
in actuality not one student was
attending classes.

Georgians capture OSL Championship
Coach Dave Dies and the
Georgians had been the only
team during league play to score
a victory over the Loyola war­
riors 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 Cham­
pionships.
The Georgians started off ve­
ry slow and it was only due to
the superb goal keeping of Tom
Anderson that prevented Loyo­
la 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 goa­
lie 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 la­
ter upped the score to 4-0 for
Sir George.
In order not to make the Loy­
ola team look too bad, Tom
Anderson, having played a bril­
liant game, was unable to stop
Loyola Warrior Pete Marin from
scoring in the third period. L o­
yola 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 for­
mality for Sir George to play
Bishop’ s in the finals on Satur­
day 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
M arch 9 on channel 6 at 4:30
P.M . When hopefully the Geor­
gians will be playing against
Toronto or Alberta for the cup.
Georgian swimmers off to Nationals
Sir 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 M cGill three times. Incidently the M cGill
squad is ranked one of the best teams in the coun­
try behind Sir George and the University of Toronto.
The Georgians are led by three Canadian N a­
tional 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 Stu­
dent 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 re­
lay 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. M ean­
while 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 talent­
ed 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.
