In the United States of America, the hot bed of imperialism, all the machinery of the superstructure has one basic means of achieving its goals: violence Violence is an inherent part of the American way of life. On television there is anaverage of eight scenes of violence per hour. The news stands, bookstores and cinemas of any street in the United States are full of scenes of all kinds of violence. r Every month thousands of publications make violence into something heroic for American children. Each child of 14 has seen, on average, 19,000 deaths on television. ‘ Thus, nobody should be surprised to learn that during the last decade crime increased by 174% while the population only increased by 11%. Of course all this crime, the rapes, assaults, theft and other acts of violence, together with corruption in Government are all caused by the inability of the capitalist system to give any real meaning to the life of the individual in society. Alienation, insecurity, the inability to change their everyday conditions, fear of the future, these .x/ are the problems which each day face every capitalist American. ‘ The capitalist world is going through one of its endemic crises and these fears are becoming more and more acute. Man, a social being, finds himself alone, very much alone in capital- ist society and he searches 'for some means of escape, that can range from drugs to crime. Capitalist society has ’no solution for human prob— lems. For the machinery of capitalism, however, the only solution to the increase in crime and violence, is greater expenditure on re- pression and the most up- to-date technology to com— I our ' capitalist/society S ‘ we’d like to talk to you about managing some of ours.

' "The day will come when the blind will‘see the true path." ‘ Lynn Foley Childhater speaks Children On campus are a nuisance. I knowa will lose favour in the eyes of young parents on campus but I've had enough! When a student on campus goes to the Barn to relax, it is perturbing to have to watch everything he says and does for fear of serving as a bad example to young children who‘happen to be there with their par- ents. The last straw was the,Margaret Atwood recital. There were several children, there with their parents. One parent was considerate encugh to remove her child from the room when the child began babbling but not so the others. It is not chte" when a child wanders around a recital creating a genL eral nuisance of itself. I suggest that in the future should there be a recital or lecture and no sitters are available to parents on their own search, that a room be reserved in the i .same building for these‘ children. A sitter or two should be_supplied by the university for the purposes of supervision} It would be greatly appreciated I‘m sure by both the parents and the other people at the lecture or recital. P.S. Please do not ask me’ to be a sitter. I despise the little bastards. Doug Gallant , -, ,’
