Roam Becomes An. Issue The issue of the "press pool mom", which houses The SPECTRUM offices on SSU's campus, has been brought up OF as a campaign issue in the Assembly contest. SPECTRUM OPINION. Ir seems that we had several requests as to what was our locafion on campus, so we arranged with the administration, ~~a~rn~aasm ruith their permission, to use room 11 of the student services building. To identify the room, we placed a sign oa the &or, staring, "this room contains the office of The SPECTRUM-- you ace welcome." Now,, one candidate for the assembly has brought up this issue, claiming Tbe SPECTRUM should not be "allowed office space" at SSU, since 'the paper is profit-oriented, a t*going concern", "being a free enterprise concern, it should not be allowed free space in order to create personal revenues" First of all, the room is the "press pool room". If it is used only by Tbe SPECTRUM, it is because The SPECTRUM is the only press media on campus every day. The theory of a press room in a government building has been proven by usuage and precedeot throughout the state and nation-he City, state, and Capitol buildings all have press rooms for the exclusive use of the working press. These rooms are, in fact, used by some media more than others. We never did claim to be sole proprietors of room 11; it is open to all working press for their use. However, we question whether there is anything evil about 'free enterprise' on campus. Both the bookstore and the can- teen are allowed space on campus; both are for profit; and boh were given permission for their enterprise by the university. In addition, the Journal-Register is selling papers on campus, using 'allowed free space in order to create personal revenues." We feel this attack was a politically-motivated action, calculated to win votes rather than rectify ills. This is probably a part of what one caadidate has called the 'snob- bish appeal of opposition', that is, it is seemingly fashion- able and 'in' oppose anything and everything here at SSU. Which is frightening. We are involved in a great academic experiment here, open minds,are of the greatest necessity. There is nothing which will hurt SSU more &an a rampant negaavism being allowed to dominate the thinking hae. We must have optimism terspered with reason and patience- patience not to reject anything because it does not achieve perfection instantly. Our tendency here at SSU is to measure everythingnot against other items in the field; or against a reasonable standard; but against perfection. In manyarays, SSU measures up well against perfection; but we canmt reject all that is not perfect. We must temper our criticism with reality; and accept much for what it is--pact of a growing, but not yet great university. If we do not keep this perspective, we may never become a truly great university. COMPETITION? WHERE?

Well, the SPECTRUM is going to hate a competitor, if we can trust to the word of Todd Domke; Good, we say, we need a measuring stick of sorts, and since most of our critics have been judging us versus perfection or the Journal-. 'Register (paradox of Paradoxes) another .student neswpaper is welcome and even encouraged. We think we can do a' better job, shott of staff or no. Just one problem, where the hdl are/is these/this other newspaper/s? Domke has put up signs apparently criticizing The SPECTRUM and the Journal-register; ok, we're both \open to criticism. let's see the effort of our aiticizas. 1 THE SPECTRUM 1 Wrnber Cdlege Press Service An independent srudenc wi 1 L make space I newspaper published available for pub.

These studies were designed to formulate plans for blocking or re- versing such revolutions. One of the areas studied was Quebec. LEUR CAMPAGHE COHMEKE It appears that the Trudeau governkt is taking advantage ot the situation in Quebec to rid itself of all the cumbersome extra-parlia- mentary opposition in this country. Underground new s- papers have been wiped off the map; in many cases all of their equipment has been confiscated and they cannot afford to buy more. h Mon- treal draft-dodger organiza- tions have been busted and occupants taken into custody. It is necessary that we try to put what is happening in Quebec today in some sort of perspective for Canada, so that we can all relate to the recent events and see them as actions developing logi- cally from a history of oppression in a nation defeated in a colonial war over 180 years aga Some of the answers can be found in the press every day. It was no coincidence that most papers Wednesday (October 14) ran front-page stories announcing the government plans "to consider" the Wartime Measures Act together with all sorts of de- nunciations of the Front de Liberation du Quebec (FLQ), at the same time as Finance Minister Bensm' s announce- ment that "joblessness is now our biggest threat." Many people in Canada are facing economic depression- that is not unrelated to the kidnappings in Quebec.
