During the staff meeting to choose a new editor, Derry 

McDonell was asked what he would do if he gained Staff 

support but was rejected by the Publications board. Without 

hesitating McDonell said that he would lead the Paper in a 

strike. 

On the basis of that, it would seem McDonell believes that 

the paper’s staff has the right to choose it’s editor, and that it 

should not stand for interference from any AMS body. In the 

past few days, however, McDonell seems to have forgotten his 

earlier statements, and is now trying to mount a front to 

overturn the staff‘s decision to appoint Dave Todd. 

It is unlikely McDonell believes that the Pubs board will 

substitute anyone else for Todd. He, however, is no doubt 

counting on the Representative Assembly to step in the at 1st 

stage,’and demand that he be appointed over Todd. As a 

member ofthe Assembly, McDonell is no doubt COuntiUg 011 

support from his political colleagues, while realizing that on 

the Pubs board he will be judged on his Competence as a 

journalist alone, and not as apotential political ally. 

When you get down to measuring Todd and McDonell as 

newspapermen you don’t have to dig deep .to see that the staff 

made the right decision last Thursday. 

Todd has been around for about a year, and has done 

everything from rehashing press releases to writing indepth 

features (Campbell River School series) and breaking and 

putting together hard news stories (Partridge: Knights of 

Columbus speech). 

McDonell on the other hand got his first experience with a 

newspaper when he joined the Martlet in September. Since 

that time he has done nothing but features (B.C. Council on 

Drugs ...) and editorials (A Nigger Speaks). He has yet to turn 

in his first news story. But perhaps that wouldn’t be too much 

of a hindrance to Derry,after all, some papers have nothing to 

do with news whatsoever. 

Another point to be considered is the motivation behind the 

individual’s applications. 

Todd says he wants the job because it presents a challenge, 

and because he is confident he can put out a well balanced, 

creative newspaper that would communicate with students 

rather than fighting them. When asked what he would do if the 

staff rejected him and selected a different candidate, Todd 

said he would support whoever the staff chose. 

McDonell on the other hand has a somewhat narrower view 

of things. He apparently wants to be editor for reasons of 

personal gratification, no doubt with an eye to creating a 

reference for future job interviews on straight papers, and 

undoubtedly because he wants to use the paper as a political 

weapon. 

During his screening session McDonell said that he wanted 

to make the Martlet more professional, to polish the 

reporting style so that the student paper read like the Times 

or Colonist. 

Was this because he believed that the Martlet should be 

moreobjective? Unfortunatelyno. McDonell said that if the 

paper read like a downtown daily people would be more 

inclined to believe it, hence giving the paper greater political 

power. Apparently McDonell believes that by manipulating 

the truth, one can manipulate people, and he seems to feel he 

has that right.

To one who watched him closely last year during the Tenure 

Wars, Wright’sactions subsequent to the Martlet editorship 

meeting were entirely predictable. 

To one who has listened to him talk and has worked closely 

and openly with him for the past six months, however, his 

actions were mind-blowing. 

In the past Wright has set himself up as - and indeed often 

has been - the champion of students in their battle with the 

administration. 

If the president dared to make up his own mind as to who 

should get tenure and who shouldn’t, as to who was a good man 

andwhowas bad, one knew that Wright would be there going 

for the throat with the cry of “Injustice!” flying from his lips. 

One knew too that where decisions were being made without 

student participation Wright would be there pointing the way 

towards the student-run university. 

It seems strange then, maybe even shocking, to hear Wright 

saying that the Martlet staff was “incapable” of making the 

“correct” decision, and that he intended to do everything in 

his power to have that decision overturned. 

One flashes to Partridge saying “You’re wrong, this prof’s 

a bad teacher. I say so.” 

One flashes to some arch-typical administrator saying, 

“Sure the students can run this University, just so long as 

they run it my way.” 

Wright was a fine man, but at some point his white armour 

began to crack, revealing a less than pure soul within, and at 

some point greed and the need for power became too enticing, 

and he stepped inside the Ring.

New Department ., 

UVic’s Creative Writing 

section is trying to break away 

from the English Department. 

Robin Skelton and Lawrence 

Russell have introduced a 

proposal that recommends “to 

the Faculty of Arts and Science 

that a new department of 

Creative Writing be formed.” 

In a meeting of the English 

department Tuesday the merits 

and disadvantages of the 

proposed separation were 

discussed, and it was decided by 

department head Dr. R.R. 

Leslie the matter was of 

“sufficient importance” to 

write their plays, or 

symphonies, or books . . . and let 

serious students meet with 

them, on a non-credit basis if 

necessary. That way we might 

get some real poets writing real 

poems.” 

Skelton told Johnson that “In 

the arts you finally have to get 

down to an article of faith . . . can 

youor can you not teach people 

howto be creative? I think you 

can.”

In a brief presented last 

Monday to the Legislative 

committeeon tenure, academic 

vice-president Dr. D.J. 

MacLaurin defended the 

existing system used at UVic. 

The brief stated that “.In his 

role as teacher and scholar a 

faculty member must be free to 

explore and to propound ideas 

and to pursue research 

activities without the fear of 

reDrisals even if these ideas 

prbve controversial either to 

his colleagues at the University 

or to the community at large.” 

Any change of the tenure system 

would threaten this security, 

would be hard to administer and 

would “introduce far greater 

difficulties than the present 

system.” 

MacLaurin rejected the 

concept of five-year 

appointments for faculty, saying 

that, “...roughly twenty percent 

of the faculty would need to be 

considred for contract renewal 

in any one year.” This would 

lead to “conflict of interest”, he 

said, as faculty members whose

with him. 

“Some people might well be 

attracted to it,” he said, but 

added that “At present noce of

Garvie did imply, however, 

that speculation, surrounding

CITY REJECTS REZONING BIDS 

by garth mayhew 

City Council just rejected 

applications to rezone parcels 

ofland from R-3H (High Density) 

to R-3 (Multiple Dwelling - low 

rise) and invited the applicants 

to enter into a land use contract 

with Victoria. 

By designating the area 

bounded by Esquimalt Road, 

Robert Street, and the west 

boundary of the lot west of 

Parnard Avenue - a 

Development Area under 

Section 702A of the Municipal 

Act -the city may be able to gain 

a greater than normal control 

over design-density. This would 

ensure public access to a strip 

along the waterfront. 

Lyall Estates Ltd. had 

planned to build too close to the 

waterfront south of Seaforth 

Street and west of Robert Street; 

while the 87 suite project of 

West Bay Investments Ltd., a 

subsidiary of Slegg Bros. Realty 

had not allowed for roadwidening 

of Maitland and 

Seaforth. West Bay wanted to 

build a low spreading structure 

to avoid the high cost of the 

concrete floors that are 

necessary for high rlses. 

In effect in the new 

desienation the citv will be 

offering to work largely within 

the criteria of the R-3 zoning. 

Rezoning would have brought 

about a reduction of the’ 

maximum permitted density 

.from a floor space to site area 

ratio of 1.68:l to 1.2:1, and a 

reduction of the maximum 

permitted height from 110 to 70 

feet, which the city wants to 

offer anyway as a guideline. 

Rezoning would also have 

increased maximum site 

coverage from 19 per cent to 30 

per cent (the city issuggesting a 

structure whoselength 1s not to 

exceed 200 feet). The council 

also wants to see a waterline 

setback of at least 30 feet, a 

landscaped area comprislng at 

least 40 Der cent of the site.

Prior to the question 

Adlerman Savage spoke 

strongly against four-storey 

‘firetraps’ that were being built 

without due regard for 

aesthetics and proper 

construction. Savage says he 

prefers eight storey concrete 

buildings with underground 

parking. 

Alderman Witt suggested that 

the Architect’s Institute of B.C. 

be told to dress up future 

construction, but the city has 

been issuing permits for 

buildings that engineers, but not 

architects, have approved. This

their hands are tied. Legally 

Hydro is unapproachable. 

They can do anything they 

damn well like,” said Saanich 

Alderman William Noel. 

Noel was annoyed that the 

crown corporation seemed to be 

doing its best to ‘uglify’ Saanich, 

working at cross purposes to its 

brother agencies like the 

Capital Region Improvement 

District which he felt is trying to 

improve the standard and 

quality of life in the area.

is contrary to a provincial 

ruling, the Act Respecting the

Architecture, 15 Marci 1955, 

which states that the $1 .ns of 

public buildings (including 

apartments) whose costs are 

expected to exceed $50,000 be 

drawn up by an architect. The 

obvious loophole is that the seal 

of the engineer and that of the 

architect are coming under the 

same footing. . 

The builder’s dilemma, 

explains developer Robert 

McAdams, is the public who 

demand more attractive 

apartments, and yet cannot 

afford the rentals that would be 

needed to pay back the loan.

Berban Reborn 

by greg middleton 

When Brendan Behan was 

alive, very few people would 

have passed up the opportunity 

to spend an evening drinking 

stout in an English pub with that 

famous Irish playwright and 

storyteller. No-one should miss 

the chance to spend the evening 

with Shay Duffin as he re- 

creates Behan, at his slightly 

boozy best, tonight at the 

McPhearson Theater. 

Behan was as notorious for 

his out-spoken comment and 

drunken invective as he was 

famous for his plays and 

autobigraphical novels. Duffin, 

also an Irishman who even bears 

a remarkable resemblance to 

Behan, uses quotations 

attributed to Behan as well as 

pieces from his plays and books 

to create an intimate portrayal 

of the man and his work. 

Drinking a pint of porter while 

he sings and swaggers; and later 

staggers and swears, Duffin 

does for Behan what Hal 

Holbrook did with Mark Twain. 

It is absolutely impossible not to 

be carried away by the Irish 

ballads or moved from laughter

The Last Picture Show 

by hug rove 

In the introduction to his 

selection of D.H. Lawrence’s 

poems, Kenneth Rexroth says at 

one point that nowadays “men 

and women torture each other to 

death in the bedroom, just as the 

dying dinosaurs gnawed each 

other as they copulated in the 

chilling marshes”. 

Among other things, this is 

what The Last Picture Show is 

all about. Set in a backwater 

town in Texas in the early 

fifties, it deals with what has to 

be the end of an epoch, a way of 

life that doesn’t work any more. 

The framework is still intact,

Elcock 

New A.D. --- 

Mike Elcock a former UVic 

student has been appointed 

Athletic Director pro tem. 

Elcock, who has been filling in 

as Athletic Assistant since the 

resignation of Dr. Bob Bell last 

summer, . was ’ officially 

informed of his change in status 

Tuesday morning in a 

memorandum from’the office of 

Vice-president Jack Kyle. . 

A transplanted Scotsman, 

Elcock ‘travelled extensively 

before settling down at this 

hallowed institution, receiving 

his B.A. in English 2 years ago. 

Working for Ted Sawchuck in 

the Department of General 

university Services at the time 

Dr. Bell resigned as kJ.D., 

Elcock originally became 

Athletic Assistant for,a period 

of 3 - months, while a 

committee was form$ 

to make the selection of a new 

director. 

Since taking over the 

relatively meaningless title last 

summer Elcock has proven 

himself capable of operating 

under less than ideal conditions 

and willing to listen to student 

ideas, while cutting through the 

crap and settling the problems. 

Only time will tell if Elcock 

can handle the iob. but he does 

implement and feels strongly 

that “5000 young people could 

make this a magnificent place if 

.they would stop bitching all the 

time and get together.”

The hierarchy of the

For once it would seem the main 

criterion hasn’t been an

If desire is one of the 

requirements for the job of 

Athletic Director, Mike Elcock 

should do well - he served his 

apprenticeship under trying 

maintaining an honesty and 

enthusiasm. 

Elcock has proven himself to 

be willing to listen. to student 

ideas, even though he did not 

always have the authority to 

implement them. 

There will be pressure on the 

new A.D. to prove himself, both 

to students and the 

administration, but the final 

proof will not be seen until next

Early in the summer of 1970, around the middle of June to be exact, a 

monstrous party was given at a ranch about 10 miles outside of Aspen 

Colorado. The party had been announce‘for several nights at Danny’s, 

the local rock ’n’ roll joint in Aspen, just as it would be several months 

later when the guys who lived at a ranch decided to give another one. It 

was said that they gave the parties twice yearly, to usher in the summer 

and the ski season. 

Psychedelic ’ 

Fdscism 

“Die Self, Die Wo.rZd. w 

That June, a rainy, boring month between the end of the ski season 

and the height of the summer tourist business, didn’t it take long for the 

word to get around. By noon that Saturday, several hundred of Aspen’s 

, hard-core mountain hipsters and soft-core local freaks had gathered 

at the ranch. By 2 more than 1000 summer celebrants were present for 

the festivities 

And such’ festivities there were! The scene would get so heavy, a 

friend had told me the night before, that the sheriff and town cops 

wouldn’t go near the place for fear of being shot at or stoned. And in 

fact, as hundreds of long-haired,dope-crazed freaks poured down the 

dirt road leading to the ranch, the cops sat idly by watching the 

procession, their radios crackling occasion ally with a status report 

request from headquarters. These the police and sheriff’s men 

apparently provided with some chagrin, for right before their very 

eyes the floor of the pitkin valley was being rendered into the kind of 

carnage that is possible only through the forces of modern-day 

psychedelia. 

The barn at the ranch, huge, a aging structure with a classical peaked 

roof and peeling, rust-colored paint,, fairly shook on its foundations with 

the sound of the rock group from Danny’s. The barn was full of dancing 

freads, many of whom had overflowed into the pastures surrounding the 

barn. There, invarious stages of dress or undress, they frolicked in 

thegrand style of hippiedom. Drugs of all kinds were in wide-spread 

use. Girls’ breasts, bared in‘the midday sun, were openly fondled. 

Couples could be seen in varying states of couple in the high grass of the 

meadow. Cycle freaks did dusty wheelies up and down the diet roads and 

around the barn. Occasionally a stark naked guy would wander forth 

from the barn, and staggering beneath the load of pills that were

happenirig. I found it difficult to explain to others what had happened, 

and this woman had passed out the acid punch, why she had gathered 

together her “group”, and, in the end, what she was going to do with 

them. She WAS and they WERE and that’s all that seemed to matter. 

For by the time was it over, I knew beyond the shadow of a doubt that 

she was in total and complete control of the individuals who madeup the 

group, beginning withher two assistants, who looked to have been under 

her control for so long that the line between themselves and her hand 

blurred to the extent that it was non-existent. 

‘This is the first time I’ve.: written about this ‘experience,, 

which : I now look back on as a living nightmare. .I never found anyone I 

could talk to about it until one night in a bar I saw Ed Sanders. I had the 

idea that the woman might have been part of an oc,cult scene of some 

sort so I described the whole thing to Sanders. He was fascinated, for 

what I described to him was the same kind of psychedelic fascism he 

had encountered in the enigma of Charles Manson. 

Psychedelic fascism. In a way, it was inevitable. The dr.ugs, 

beginning in the flower-power days of yesteryear, and their 

accompanying expanded consciousness, got weirder and weirder. 

M unson: product 

of psychedelic revolution, 

As Ken Kesey predictec on the front of his bus in the early days, 

everything went “further”. Beyond that which was there just before, 

past that which would come not long after. Kesey and someof the smart 

ones “graduated” from acid some years back. Others journeyed 

“further” along the psychedelic trail. The search became a quest, and 

the quest.. .an obsession. 

There had to be an answer at the end of the long acid rainbow in the 

Sky, there had to be something there that would give% all~yrneaning. 

That would prove, beyond anyone‘s doubts or fears,. that it was all 

RIGHT. The woman in Aspen had reached this acid point of n, where for 

her, there was only the “group”, and “out theres”. Nothing else 

chore, turning my head next to impossible. It seemed that all could I do 

was stare straight ahead and stumble, and when she caught my eye 

again, the pull was almost unbearable. I sat down at the edge of the 

group, not as an act of will but in complete psychic e.xhaustion. 

This woman, who by this time had complete control of the group, 

again began to zekqin on me. Almost everything, as before, was in the 

form of questions. “Come, move in closer to the group.” I moved 

closer. “Now” she said with another calm, knowing smile, “aren’t you 

glad you’re not OUT THERE?” I couldn’t answer, so I nodded. 

Affirmatively. I was glad I wasn’t out there, because out there I had 

been a spastic fool. I had stumbled, I had fallen dawn. I couldn’t think. 

Sitting there in the groupmy mind had something to focus on, and that 

something was the woman. She was beautiful, I thought, in an odd sort of 

way. H,er face was lined, and yet it seemed ageless. Her eyes were all 

knowing. Hermouth was all telling. Her hands were as exvressive as 

the deepest of my inner thoughts. 

After I nodded yes, the woman began telling us of the party she was 

holding for us that night at her house. We would all be coming, wouldn’t 

we? We were now, after all, in the group. Therewere things we knew, 

known by no one else. At the party, we would know more. Her house, she 

mattered. The group KNEW. The group was RIGHT. All else was 

*WRONG. She knew this, with.her smile and her valet and her Chinese 

fortune teller and ther little stash of supplies for the future, and her 

eyes. .her magnificent, all seeing, all knowing, unreachable eyes. I still 

see them sometimes, if I let myself slip. And they’re one reason 

among only a few why I’ve stopped taking drugs. 

Sander’s book, “The Family: The Story of Charles Manson’s Dune 

Buggy AttackBattalion” (published by E.P. Dutton)’ tells the story of 

how one man’s psychedelic fantasy became a reality; how the scene, not 

stopping to ask where or why, evolved past good into evil. Just as Rusty 

Calley is, an a perverse way, the ultimate product .of the military 

machine--an unthinking, unquestioning robot capable of premeditated 

murder on his own well-conditioned initiative--Manson is the ultimate 

product of our society and its psychedelic revolution. 

The machine that created acid’s expanded consciousness allowed 

man to vicariously SEE DEATH. Once you have seen death, if you don’t 

have anything else to look forward to, you can also envision the-end of 

the world which for you, death certainly is. If you expand your 

consciousness OUTSIDE YOURSELF, where you become just one of an

time, many of the clues, and several of the keys that taken together 

unlock the mystery of this horrifying, fascinating man. 

The scope of Sander’s book is necessarily narrow.’ 

Because he was collecting not only on Manson, but also on 20-odd 

members of his family as well Sanders did not convern himself with 

Manson’sdistant past, nor with the personal histories of the familu. 

Had he done so, the maze of excess information would have rendered 

the book completely inaccessible. 

As it.is, the book deals with Manson and his family from the day he 

was released from Terminal Island Prison on March 21, 1967, until 

they were charged with murder in’November of 1969. 

The book follows Manson’s day-to-day moves, from the beginnings of 

his harem-like collection of females to his involvement with some of 

the biggest names in Hollywood. 

In the course of the book’s 412 pages, Sanders draws no conclusions. 

There isn’t enough room. The conclusions must be your own.

For example, Sanders says that the “Jean” I encountered last year 

in Aspen reminds him of Jean Brayton, the head of an obscure evilworshipping

He was charged with locking up a six-year-old boy in a closed wooden 

box for 56 days as “punishment”. In any case Brayton’s occult society 

was well known in Southern California for its use of acid, demerol, 

scopolamine, jimson weed, datura root, ether and balladonna in 

psychedelic brainwashing. 

According to Sanders,,Brayton used acid to “program” people while 

they were on a trip, dandy a little trick that Manson was to put to great 

use with‘the family. 

“The hype was similar to other grbups, including Manson’s,,”’, 

writes Sanders. ‘‘Learing down the mind through pain, persuasion, 

drugs, and repetitive weirdness--just like a magnet erases recording 

tape--and rebuilding the mind according to the desires of the cult.” 

The Brayton cult, interestingly enough also subscribed to the 

imminent end of the world, doom theory, and like Manson, believed 

Armageddon would be brought on by race wars. The similarity between 

the two groups even extends to the fact that the Brayton cult also 

planned to escape to the desert when the end came. 

The Brayton cult is probably best known, however, for its belief in 

blood drinking, animal sacrifice, ddath worship, and sad0 masochistic 

sex as part of the cult’s personal brand rf perverse sacraments, 

practices that the family held in great esteem. At the Tate house, Susan ‘ 

Atkins liked the blood of Sharon Tate off her fingemwhat went on at the.

Perhaps foremost among the “sleazo inputs” a$ Sanders them, calls 

that influenced the church of the final judgment. The process, as it is . 

commonly called, is anothe r occult group that subscribes to4he ‘there 

is no good, thereis no evil” line of bullshit. 

Christ and satan exist equally in each ,person,they believe, as ‘ i n the 

writings of the church’s head, Robert de Grimston: “Christ’s enemy 

was satan and satan’s enemy was Christ. Through love, enmity is 

destroyed. Through love, saint and sinner destroy the enmity between 

them. Through love, Christ and satan have destroyed their enmityand 

come together for the end, Christ to judge, satan to execute the 

judgment. Salvation or doom. ’ f .
