Plans for more inter-faculty involvement, a new program coordinator and a concentrated effort to get more first-year students involved in the AMS are needed, he said. "I think the AMS should relate more to the students. Right now I don't think the AMS is too much of a powerful body," said Short. Most AMS politicos said they had no desire to run as AMS president but Short is not alone in the running. Jim Bodner, student representa tive assembly science rep, said Thursday he is considering the position. Bodner has run for the AMS presidency twice in the last two years.

Becaus e the authorities y' have carefully cut out all the maps, what is left serves as a fitting symbol of the prison * system: a strong imposing shell, devoid of meaning and incapable of its purpose. Much of that metaphor's strength comes from the power of Canadian prisons to drastically manipulate a prisoner's civil rights by procedures which, according to a Parliamentary sub committee, are characterized by "gross irregularities, lack of standards and arbitrariness." That same all-party investigation found in 1976 "a situation which is hardly consistent with any understandable or coherent concept of justice" and observed: "there is a great deal of irony in the fact that imprisonment, the ultimate product of our system of criminal justice itself epitomizes injustice."

"There are inmates transferred as' a matter of prison policy, and this interferes with educations," said Dennison.

His tone is unique, warm, lyrical and almost cornet-ish. (I even found it within myself to pardon the chap behind me when he claimed to hear a "trace of Mangione influence"). The result is a fluid, guitar-like tone, similar to that achieved by Jaco Pastorius on electric bass. The trumpet and bass blended and com plemented each other to an extent that doesn't come across as well on record as ki performance. With Coleman (and the late Albert Ayler), Cherry and Haden are the folk musicians of the avant garde.

MAY. 1968 TRANSLATED BY TONY MONTAGUE I have no weapon other than the law that I would not submit to, the law that forgets the street is my land forever,
I have no weapon other than my life that fought and that, nourished on images, I bore through your days.
I have no weapon other than my face and eyes that, moistened, in the evening sketched the strength of your rites, by the cold May wind.
On the walls I was astonishing and in that ancient clamor I renewed the bonds between the earth and her rightful dues and the voice pushed me onwards. '
My throat was choked by sulphur and cholorine but the fire was kindled and I grew all the more.
In that harsh colour I gave birth to my own name and I can tell you, without the least shadow or shame, I am called Freedom.
Note: This is an anonymous poem written on the wall in Paris during the revolt of May, 1968.
