T the $100 fee hike

for most students, for the al-
most doubled tuition for gradu-
ates, for the introduction of fee
schedules for teachers and nurs-
es, and the lowering of ceilings
for subsidies, announced by the
Davis government. This plan
was soundly rejected for what
it is, a callous attempt to place
the burden for the costs of edu-
cation on the backs of the peo-
ple and as an attempt to further
reserve accessibility .to higher
education for the wealthy.
Various alternatives of protest
were discussed with the unani-
mous decision to put into effect
a fee strike. Exact details will
be decided at the next meeting
in July.

In the interim, student coun-
cils will be discussing this stra-
tegy in the context of their par-
ticular campuses. The discus-
sion pointed up very clearly that
the Tory government by its
high-handedness and intransi-
gence had left the students with
no alternative. Success depends

on the support of all sections of

society opposed in one way Or
another to the vicious education
policies being pursued by the
Davis government, in concert
with the student action.

OFS was instructed by the
meeting to press for recognition
by Queen’s Park as the bargain-
ing agent for Ontario students.

The conference gave full en-
dorsation to the formation of a
national student organization.
Representatives were elected
from OFS to sit on the steering
committee appointed at a recent

Windsor meeting to further this”

goal. A meeting is scheduled for
late fall to discuss a national
union further:

Elections were held for an
executive body, and Wynton
Semple was appointed full time
co-ordinator. The first executive
is: Cameron (Carleton), La Chap-
pelle (Laurentian), McGregor
(Western), Moulton (Glendon),
Routtier (Ottawa), Spencer (To-
ronto) and Miglin (Toronto) as
treasurer.

The meeting was 4 resound-
ing success and commences 2
new chapter in the activities of
post-secondary students in >

Worker control

propaganda is
not socialism

By DAVID GORDON

Among the many movements
that seek to divert the working
class from the goal of socialist
society is one of so-called work-
ers’ and community control. In
book and periodical, academics
have tried to promote this move-
ment. It is an anarchist-type
movement that suggests the pos-
sibility and need of the taking
over of factories by employees
and “communities” so as to
operate the “process of produc-
tion.”

“Control” by workers suppos-
edly places them in a position to
take over entire plants, one by
one or several at a time, if pos-
sible. Thus, it is argued, the
workers would become adminis-
tratively prepared to run a new
social order.

Any plant sit-in is considered
a step toward workers’ control.
The proponents of the idea, who
have popped up in several coun-
tries, elaborate blueprints for
takeover of a country. They
even believe that such “take-
overs” may continue under so-
cialism, citing plant “self-man-
agement” in Yugoslavia.

Workers’ cooperatives, indus-
trial and consumer, can be of
some relief to a limited number
of people. To think that use of
the phrase “workers’ control”
can be a substitute for the work
of the unions, or that its fulfill-
ment means a gradual transition
to socialism is not simply mis-
taken but diversionary.

Needed badly right now is an
American trade union movement
purged of reactionary leaders,
controlled by a militant rank and
file leadership, and following an
active course in the struggle

against racism and for peace.

Indian play depicts
clash with Mounties

WINNIPEG—Almighty Voice,
a historical play by Ian Ross,
about the last Indian armed up-
rising against the North West
Mounted Police at Duck Lake in
May 1897, had its premiere at
the Manitoba Theatre Centre on
May 31.

The play, whose central char-
acter is a Cree from One Arrow
Reserve, Saskatchewan (his
name is Almighty Voice), has as
its executive producer, his great
nephew, Tom Jackson. The Ma-
nitou Theatre Co. production
was financed by .a Local Initia-
tives Program grant.

The Duck Lake episode began

in the fall of 1897 when Almigh-
ty Voice killed a government

“steer to feed his starving fami-

ly. For nearly two years he
evaded the NWMP.

Jailed in Duck Lake, he es-
caped and later killed a NWMP
sergeant “as a result of an er-
ror by the NWMP.” Soon after-
ward, Almighty Voice and his
companions (Topean and Going-
Up-To-The-Sky) were cornered

in a poplar grove. For three days,
the trio withstood a force of 68
NWMP and 200 volunteers,
without food or water.

The scene around the poplar
grove was punctuated by Spot-
ted Calf, Almighty Voice’s mo-
ther, singing the Cree Death
Song for her valiant son.

Writer Ian Ross designed the
the scrip to leave the audience
in suspence until the very end.
Producer Tom | Jackson’ has

gathered around him a talented -

entourage for this, his second
production. All but two of the
principals are of Indian extrac-
tion. -

From the monthly Manitoba

Indian News comes the informa-

‘tion that the Manitou Theatre.

is an entity that has already be-

come a permanent fixture in the.

Manitoba artistic scene. An In-
dian theatrical workshop has
been established. Research is
constantly being conducted tc
find and produce more original
Indian plays. At least one will
be produced in the early fall,
according to current plans.

Cancer in elderly folk

By WM. J. VANDERVOORT, M.D.
American Cancer Society

It is my impression that many
families of patients who are
over 65 discourage the search
for cancer in their elderly rela-
tives. Indeed, on those occasions
when cancer is found, some
families prefer no treatment
rather than the indicated medi-
cal or surgical procedure.

The purpose of my comments
is to encourage a more active
diagnostic and therapeutic atti-
tude toward the older cancer
patient.

I have been the attending
physician at a home for the
elderly for 15 years. This home
has about 56 patients, a majority
of whom are over 65 years of
age. Quite a number of them
are over 90. Not one patient has
died of a malignancy.

I recall a patient who at age

70 had a simple mastectomy
performed for cancer of her left
breast. She died 15 years later
from, a, stroke , and had never
had any recurrence of the breast

a ene eee

cancer. :

Another patient had an endo-
metrial, or uterine lining, can-
cer removed eight years ago.
She has had an annual negative

checkup each year since this
‘ surgery.

One of our patients had colon
cancer 12 years ago and since
has had no evidence of recur-
rence nor symptoms of malig-
nancy. I have lost count of the
number of skin cancers that
have been removed from our
older patients but we have never
had one that has recurred.

Patients over 65 who have had
the recognized treatment for
cancer have done well. These
patients have died natural
deaths, usually of a stroke or
heart attack, but none has had
a recurrence of the disease.

Proper diagnostic and thera-
peutic procedures in elderly
patients are vital. The distress-
ing symptoms are removed in
many cases and their life expec-
tancy. is. well worth the discom-
fort of treatment.
