UGEQ membership passed
by close margin
by Karen SMITH
Sir George students have voted to remain in UGEQ.
The d e cisio n to stay was passed by a m a jo rity of 124
votes as 1095 students voted in favor o f UGEQ, with 971
opposed.
T o ta l votes cast were 2071 g iv in g a turnout o f 37.8%
o f the student body at the p o lls . T h is is a large turnout
considerin g the sm all student representation u s u a lly
shown in campus votes.
Students were h ig h ly in te re ste d in the UGEQ question
and had strong o p inio n s on the m atter. Those opposed to
UGEQ d is lik e d its p o litic a l involvem ent and fe lt the
union was s e p a ra tis t.
Those favoring UGEQ thought a ll changes should be
made from w ith in for no b e n e fits could be gained by witf>
drawing, and UGEQ was d e fin ite ly he lp in g the students
have a say in th e ir education.
R ichard B ru n e lle , Education V ic e -P re s id e n t o f UGEQ
was pleased w ith the re s u lt o f the vote.
“ I am extrem ely happy” he sa id , ‘ ‘ th a t Sir George has
decided to work w ith in the framework of UGEQ. I am gra­
tifie d th a t they re a liz e that the E n g lish and French stu ­
dents o f the province must n e c e s s a rily work together for
a better Q uebec.”
Harvey O berfeld o f COLD (C om m ittee Opposed to
L e ftis t
D em onstrations) , c h ie f o p p o sitio n to UGEQ
and leader o f the move th at in itia te d the referendum, fe lt
defeat was im m inent even before the re s u lts were an­
nounced. E a rlie r in the day O berfeld had sa id he would
consid er an anti-U G EQ vote o f 25% or b etter as a man­
date to co ntinu e h is crusage against UGEQ.
How ever, in a statem ent issued a fte r the re s u lts were
announced, O berfeld said th at he accepted the decision
o f the stud en ts and c a lle d for u n ity in the future.

RE: GENOVESE’S SPEECH
I read the tra n sc rip t o f Dr. G e n o v e s e ’ s
sp e e c h on “‘Im p e r ia lis t P o l i c y ” with some
dism ay . We all prefer p r o p o s itio n s favourable
to our p r e d is p o s itio n s ; how ever, I fear that
th o se c h o s e n are so d e b a ta b le a s to make
th e argum ents b a s e d upon them open to se­
rious q u e s tio n . 1 ask r e a d e r s ’ f o re b e a ra n c e
with the following d e t a i l e d c ro s s - e x a m in a ­
tion:
talitarian measures in order to defend it­
s e lf against the constant threat of aggres­
sion. These measures, as illustrated by
Stalin’s rule in R ussia, ...in turn have
hardened and taken on a life of their own.
As a result, socialism , as it has so far
appeared in the world, has been identified,
however superficially and unfairly, with
opposition to freedom and democracy” .
‘‘...le t me in sist on the fundamental rationality of general imperialist p o licy ...
merely the continuation under more com­
plicated conditions, of the policy adopted
towards the USSR after the Bolshevik Re­
volution... to force the so c ia list countries
to divert their national resources from so­
cial and economic construction into a
staggering arms r a c e...”
T h is sa v o u rs much of the a p o l o g e ti c s of
P ro k ofsky; and is n o t the v ersio n forwarded,
eg., by tire 20th Party C o n g r e s s of the Sta­
l i n i s t fo rc ed c o lle c tiv i s a ti o n , i n d u s t r i a l i s a ­
tion and p u rg es of th e 1930’ s. T h e p erso n a l
p o l i c i e s of J o s e p h Stalin sh o u ld be given so­
me em p h a sis. T h e roo ts and p r a c t i s e o f to­
ta lita ria n is m are rarely so u g h t e xterior to a
n a t io n ’ s borders. T h i s w as the o pinion of
the USSR at the Nuremburg T ria ls . T he sa­
me line of r e b u tta l, I s u s p e c t, can be applied
to la te r rem arks on “ the d is t o r te d econom ies
of the s o c i a l i s t c o u n t r i e s ” .
T h i s seem s equally a s u n like ly as to su g ­
g e s t th a t general s o c i a l i s t p o lic y (Or shall 1
conjure up the corresp onding s p e c tr e o f
‘World Communism’ and the Com intern?) h a s
b een c o n s i s t e n t in m a le v o le n t p u rp o se , mo­
n o lith ic , and u n i-d irec tio n a l for the p a s t fif­

gold in one hand and his heel on th e h e a d of
a suffering prole i s as much o u t of d a t e as
the b e s p e c t a l e d b ea rd e d bom b-piotting Bol­
shevik. Ah for the good old d a y s when the
in te rn a tio n a l situ atio n w as so s im p le ... or
d id th o s e d a y s ever ex ist?
‘‘...th e so c ia list countries have been poor
and backward and have therefore had to
engage in forced-march industrialisation
under painful conditions, this im perialist
policy has made great s e n s e ...”
To p e r h a p s a s c r ib e to ‘im p e r ia li s t s tra ­

worth note th a t the only a l te r n a t iv e i s n a ­
tional s u ic id e — they are in no p o s it io n to
argue.
‘‘... it has forced the so c ia list world to

unfounded. Everything in d icates that such
barbarism (war in Viet Nam). Which is al­
together worthy of the late Adolf Hitler,
will not prevent the spread of revolution­
ary violence in underdevelopen coun­
t r ie s ...”
I am reminded of the d e b a tin g topic, re­
so lve d that: ‘God is on Our S ide’, May I sug­
g e s t th at no t all downtrodden p e o p l e s (among
them some n o n-ideolo gue il l i t e r a t e s ) aspire
to T H E revolutionary p a tc h ? Some may even

“ ... N evertheless, th is im perialist strate­
gy has paid handsome dividends. It has
divided the two great so c ia list powers...
Consequently, the revolutionary forces in

I could not agree more. I fear how ever that

Last Friday's editorial dealing with the verbal attack
by Professor Genovese on Sociology Lecturer David
Orton requires some clarification.
Some aspects of the situation were ambiguous
as presented in the editorial and some were inexcu­
sably inaccurate.
We questioned the credentials of Genovese with
regards to participation in the militant manifestations
of revolution. We further asked What has the profes­
sor risked or sacrificed on behalf of his convictions?"
This question committed a severe injustice against
Genovese and for this, we apologize.
In o u r political naivety, c e r ­
Howver, other parts of the editorial were ambiguous
tain o b je c tio n s o c c u r to us.
and consequently certain phrases were taken out of W e h a d always a s s u m e d th a t r e ­
context ana applied to the georgian's policies and the v o lution s, ev e n w h e n c a r r ie d
beliefs of Orton. For exam ple, it has been pointed out o u t by small m in o ritie s, h a d to
that we accused Orton of being "academ ically inca­ hav e a m ass basis. It h a d s e e m e d
pable and unqualified". When we stated that revolu­ to us th a t re v o lu tio n a r ie s first
of all, h a d to bu ild a “c o n s titu ­
tions were often effected by people in that category, e n c y ” for th e re v o lu tio n . O t h e r ­
we were merely stating that academ ic qualifications wise, a “r e v o lu t io n ” is n o m o r e
were not a prerequisite revolutionary activity. Further, th a n a “c o u p d ’e t a t ” - a d ic ta ­
we feel that Orton is neither academ ically unquali­ to r s h ip im p o s e d a n d m a in ­

we consider this question irrelevent. This has been B u t then, we su p p o se th e s e
the basis of the entire debate. What we were referr­ g a n g s o f th u g s do h a v e the in­
ing to, was Genovese's statement which implied co n tro v e rtib le v irtue t h a t they

The entire discussion on this matter has stemmed, a n d w h o p r a ttle s o n a b o u t
we feel, from a tendency on all sides to deal narrowly “c o m m u n iti e s ” of sc h o lars,
with the views of opposing factions. G enovese did not sh o u ld p a s sio n a te ly a d v o c a t e

monstrators

interestingly

Isn’t a life insurance agent a salesman?
Certainly! But the very nature o f the service
he sells dem ands a p o sitiv e, sociallyconscious approach to the people he deals
with. Life as a Great-West agent offers you
the rewards of both money and personal
fulfilment. Some jobs offer you the one.
Some jobs offer you the other. It’s not often
you get offered both. Can we prove our
proposition? We know we can. Give us
the opportunity. Write E. A. Palk, VicePresident and Director of Agencies at our
Head Office in Winnipeg. Or watch for the
visit of our representative to your campus.

Equipment for a
lab course
In a lifetime of lectures,you’d
never learn what the world is really
like. You have to see it — the laboratory
with three billion teachers. You might learn
political economy from a Muscovite (or English from a
Cockney bartender). Discover high finance in a Caribbean
marketplace (or sales psychology in a Paris souvenir shop). Get a re­
fresher course in ancienthistory (or just aboutanything) from a cabbie in Rome.
Or be taught something new and unforgettable somewhere on your own continent.
When you’re ready to take the lab course in learning (and living it up), call Air Canada.
We’ve got a good way to get you to class.
