Civil liberties &
Saanich cops
By Dr. William Goede, Dept. of E n g l i s h y
e
.-
4,
Vice-Pres., BCLAA.
What is atissueinthechargesagainsttheSaanich
Police is really quite simple.
Threeyouthsweresent
to us by a concernedsocial
worker who felt their civil liberties were abused. They told
an incredible - I choose the term carefully - story about
beingtakentotheSaanich
police stationinthemiddle
of
the night and detained for five hours without counsel, after
whichtheyweredischargedwithoutbeingarrestedinto
sub-zeroweatherwithouttheirshoes.Oursecretary,Mrs.
Charles Burchill, called the Vancouver office of the British
Columbia Civ’il Liberties Association and then we proceeded
in the matter. Our clients signed statements to support their
story, and we lodged our complaint to the police.
(I believe
the charges are well-known and shall not reiterate them.)
The Saanich Police Commission, chaired by Mayor Hugh
Curtis, then met in camera and cleared the department
of
our charges against them, adding that the BCLA had acted
unwisely. The brunt of their counter-charge is that we failed
to get BOTH SIDES of the case.
Alawyerdoesnotpresentbothsides
of the case: his
client would not approve. We had no wayof knowing whether
thechargeswereinfacttrue,butwebelievedtherewas
cause for complaint. (Incidentally, some people have alluded
to ourstronglanguage,thereby,presumably,divertingthe
argument, and while I have reservations about the language,
I believe firmly in the case.)
Wemerelyquestionedwhetherthecommunityitself
was prepared to accept the kind
of behaviourexhibited in
Saanich.
The BCCLA doesnotchargetheSaanichPolicewith

of the
We have been aware all during the discussions
fair play of the Saanich police and this case, we feel,
does
not qualify their work.
But when one man’s rights have been lost, all men lose
their rights.
We do, however,takestrongexceptiontothePolice
Commission’s meeting in camera to clear themselves.
Presumably, the role of the commission is to investigate
butnoonerepresentedourviewinthoseproceedings.
It
looks likewhite-wash.Itmightnot
be, but howcouldwe
know? An investigation is total; a charge - such as ours is admittedly one-sided. We do not feel that the commission
met for any purpose other than to justify thepolice action.
The whole affair argues for
a police review committee
of citizens.
There are several lessons we have learned. We must all
of us be fully aware of our obligations and rights during
arrest.
We have the right to be told the cause for our arrest.
We have the right to be silent until we have a lawyer or
we go before the magistrate.
Our clients in this matter were totally ignorant of their
rights.Theyaccededtopolicerequestsbecausethey

have left they are trying to protect.
But here’s the point: you willnotmaketheirlotany

there is a lack of communication from time to time, and communication is possibleonly if you have something to communicate. If you do not know your rights,
you have little to

High
School and a member of the social studies
revision committee for B.C. He has started a seminar course in history at the high
schoollevel.Mr.Reimer
was an unsuccessful candidate for the NDP in t h e 1969
provincial election.
“He despises the intellectuals and parliamentarians of his day who emasculate their civilization by directing its
attention to material
goals
and
to
rational settlement of disputes.”
“The great liberal platitudes seem to
them to be cramping and stifling; they
cannotbelieveinthemandtryto

“Thetirednessandstuffiness

just as, paradoxically, does its material

The “he,”“they.”
and“men”
of these
quotations might well refer to the young and
not-so-young protestors of 1968-9- from the
well-dressed college graduate to the “hippie
drop outs” from society. As a matter of f a c t

article hv d . M. Roberts,
Europe Went to War (in
1914)”. Ichanged
only the tense of the verbs.
In the article Roberts presents theories
as to why Europeans generallywelcomed that
war with wild cheers. Apparently in1914 the
people were bored with peace ; their leaders
preferred war to revolutionary change.
When the trumpet called in
1914, your
grandfathers were in the age group
15 - 25;
when it called in 1939, your fathers were in
the age-group 15 - 25; now that the call for
militant action is sounding in San Francisco,
London,Paris,Prague,
Tokyo, Pekingand
Burnaby - you a r e in the age-group 15 - 25.
Are you boredwith“crampingandstifling
liberal platitudes,” with “material goals and
material success,” with “rational settlement
of disputes”? In other words- are you bored
with peace?
J. M. Roberts also makes the point,
well
supportedwithevidence,thatin
1914 war
seemed to be the “Establishment’s” only solution to the problemof threatening revolution.
Will World War I11 be the “solution” to the
problem of revolutionary pressures in 1969?

Strax, leader of thefightagainstidentificationcards at theUniversity of New
Brunswick,islookingforcloseto
$9,000
to pay off legal fees and fines accumulated
during his battles.
The
beleaguered
physics
professor
was hit with a $2,000 fine and a similar
amount in court costsby Judge Paul Barry
overtheChristmasholidays.Thejudge
upheld
the
university
administration’s
right to suspend Strax, assessed the fine
afteradministrationcomplaintsagainst
Straxfor.“disruption
of thenormalactivities of the institution” and for “counselling studentsto disobey university regu-
lations,”sndupheldaninjunctionpermanently barring Strax from the campus.
Thedecisionwasannouncedjust
as
Strax emerged from Fredericton city cells
after 24 days for a court order violation.
Hehadbeensentenced
to 30 daysplus
another 15 days or $500 for ignoring the
injunction barring him from campus. He
paid the $500 and got six days off his sentence for good behaviour.
Legalfeesandcourt
fines havecost
Strax nearly $9,000 while a legal aid fund
set up in his behalf has raised only$1,000.
He plans to appeal the injunction ruling and the fine imposition but must first
find funds to cover his legal fees.

Thefollowinginterviewtookplaceon

down PropeT Perspective Party candidates for this specia! interview.

Martlet: What the
hel! is the PPP anyway?
PPP: It is a grass roots political movement which
had its beginnings in south central Saskatchewan and
hasinthelastfewyearsspreadrapidlyintosouth
central Alberta. It’s centred largely in small towns and
is usually affiliated with church groups.
Martlet: Why the Univ’ersity
of Victoria?
PPP: Consideringtherecenttrendtopartisan
politics at this campus and the fact that students seem
to want polarization it seemed only logical that the party
withthenarrowestbaseinthecountry
shouldhave a
branch on this campus.
Martlet: Do you, or doyou
not,believeinthe
doctrine of Divine Right?
PPP: Well actually our attitude to that is parallel
to that of our divine prime minister Bennett.
J. M. Syngedescribedhis
Iriflhbackgroundandsettingasanadvantage“not
given to writers in places where the springtime of the local life has been forgotten
and the harvest is
a memoryonly, and the
straw has been turned into bricks.”
Synge’s advantage is rapidlyrrpparent
in the upcoming production of “The Playboy
of theWestern World,” beingdirwted by
Wandalie H e n s h a w, who
stronglybelieves“Playboy”
to be the best of the modern
plays.”
played
by
Karl
Hare,
and
Helen
Smith plays the Widow Quin, who has her own
designs for Christy.
The production will open in Victoria at
the Langham Court Theatre February6, and
run nine performances through
to the 15th.
It is a combination effort of the Uvic Theatre
and Victoria Theatre Guild. Student ticketa
a r e $1, and can bepurchased
at Eaton’s
box off ice.
Miss Henshaw emphasizes
the brightness of this story
which takes plate in County
Mayo, on the northwest coast
of Ireland.
The characters act in unconventional,andyetbasicallysensiblepatterns.The
result is aparadoxicalhumour.
Martlet: Considering the fact that your membership is limited by birth right, where do you get a campaign manager willing to back
you politically?
PPP: We’ve asked the one person who really
believes in our philosophy the person who knows us best,
the only person who couldn’t refuse, our Mother.
Theparadox
is furthered
because of the flowing poeticallanguage,used
by Irish
peasants, which is in reality
common to Mayo inhabitants,
and
their
constant
swears
and
curses
tempered
with
prayers and awed respect for
the local priest.
Martlet: Waht does she know about politics?
PPP: Likeeverylittle
old greyhairedmother,
she’s an expert on everything.
Martlet:Applepie?
PPP: Yes, and all that goeswithit - she sang
the national anthem in t.he delivery room.
Martlet:Whataboutfinancialsupport.
PPP: Thisisa

so viciousandbloody-minded
a s Mr. Hume have ever had a Mother?
These
aspects,
together
with the tight structure and
realness of the play, produce
varied and intensive layersof
mood. Therealnesswillbe
attained on stage by slight
indications of Irishaccent,
small set c o m p 1 e t e with
thatchedroof,and
a highly

Martlet:

your party? How can you ensure that you will protect
the students interests and not Mothers?
PPP: That should appeal to the majority of the
students, just like them, our mother tells
us what to
do at university.Andlikethemajoritiy
of students
we ignore her.

Regina student council
begins legal action
REGINA (CUP)-The Regina campus student council has begunlegal
actiontoget
$4,000 in student union dues which it says the
University of Saskatchewan
administration
is holding.
A pamphlet circulated Thursday described
the position of Wednesday's meeting as hypocrisy which could beexpected "only from a
group whose greatest fear is that they should
have to consult the entire student body in an
open election".
The only response from the administration
came,fromprincipal W. C. Riddell,who said
only the board,whichmeets
Feb. 6 in Saskatoon, can deal
with the situation.
The Cool Ones
Council was also seeking an
injunction Thursday (Jan. 30)
to
stop
the
administration
from turning the fees directly
back to
individual
students
instead of handingthemto
the student union.
