Wage. and Price Policy

One of the things which has become increasingly clearer and clearer as the conditions of the system deteriorate is the ineffic- acy of government policy. It undoubtably is true that government never has had any great effect; it is only when the need for action is big that the lack of it be— comes apparent.

The implementation of the recent wage and price con— trol program is a case‘in point. Too often we assume that something like infla- tion is a "bad thing" with— out ever bothering to ask who it's bad for and indeed

Dear Kip,

Thanks for the honor of being the "ugliest man on campus",but I feel that I am not really the ugliest man on campus,it was just that I was‘one of the least "but- est" men on campus,that was around at the time of voting. As far as I can see most of my worthy competitors eith- er hid behind their football gear down in the basement of Dalton or at home under their Mommie's wings.Take one person for example,J.P.

eryone.

Few people would angue when I say that pensioners and those on fixed incomes- suffer worst but it goes further than that. Since the total GNP has remained rough— ly the same during the past few years, then inflation has served mainly to re-dis— tribute the income of the country. Some groups gain while others lose. We all know some of the losers — aside from the above-ment— tioned group, the biggest losers are the poor since inflation in the prices of

By the way, the way he got his votes was when a CBC cameraman mistakenly shot a picture of J.P. with—. out his helmet on,causing the camera to break and the film was mistakenly shown' on the CBC National News.

Yours, Bob (Barrelhead)Palmer

Offence Unintended

I notice in the past few issues of your paper,sever- al comments given against certain articles which have offended themselves or oth— ers.May I remind these peprf ple that the purpose of a university paper is to bring controversial subjects out- into the open to be agreed with or disagreeded with accordingly.(but certainly not to be shit on.)

What is perhaps more sig—

which this re—distribution

way to get ahead of the game is to be a member of a group which has some sort of power to wield. The major bene—
