February 2, 1968 Eight Pages Harding's ''dismissal'' not a myth Newly crowned Carnival Queen Heather Laing (left) and first runner up Nina Quinn. - photo by zatulsky He·a ther Laing crowned An attractive 20-year old Arts student, Heather Laing, has been chosen this year's Carnival Queen. The announcement of Miss Laing's selection climaxed the week-long festivities of Carnival Week. Her first ftmction as Queen was to draw the tickets in the Car Draw contest. Winner of the Ford Torino was C. Hacquoil of Fort William. Second prize of the Snow Jet went to Brian Kauzlarick of Port Arthur, while third prize of a colour television was won by S. Bruzzese of Port Arthur. Miss Laing, along with runner-ups Nina Quinn and Sue Laban, were crowned at the wind-up formal , held at the Port Arthur Armories, amid lavish decorations. Meanwhile, at the Canadian University Snow Queen Pageant in Waterloo, Lakehead's Sharon Woods disappointingly did not place in the selection. Monday saw students draging their feet and yawning wearily as once more they swung into the routine of cl asses and bridge. For some the end of Carnival brought a happy relief from worrying about entertainers and schedules. John Lee and his hard-working Carnival Committee deserve to be congratulated for all their work and planning. Needham on campu to speak today Richard J. Needham, wellknown columnist with the Toronto Globe and Mail, will be on campus today to speak to students of Lakehead Univ~rsity and to the general pubhe. . He is sch~dul~d to speak m the Umvers1ty Centre Theatre at 12 noon. Aside from his duties with the Globe and Mail, Mr. Needham is published in some Canadian literary quarterlies, and has written a book, Needham's Inferno. His column in the Globe and Mail is one of the most widely read columns in any paper in Canada. Topics dealt with by Mr. Needham are many and varied. One of his favourites, however, is young people. On this subject he comes on strongly for the younger generation, taking up in print their plight. Mr. Needham also travels about the country speaking to audiences of students and old folks alike. His visit today will be the first time he has been at Lakehead University. A public statement made in a letter to the Argus by Dean of Arts, Dr. Gordon O. Rothney, was rejected as strictly "an administrator's letter" by Mr. James Harding, ex-lecturer in psychology at Lakehead. The letter by Rothney was an attempt on his part to insure that the "Harding issue" would be cleared up once and for all. In a telephone interview over the week-end from his home in Point Coquitlam, B.C. , Mr. Harding listened to the content of the letter and commented upon it. He pointed out that when the rest of the faculty were receiving their letters with job offers and salary increases, he received a letter with a single line statement saying that "the Administration of Lakehead University was unable to offer you re-appointment. that he· would not be offered a position with Lakehead University. Dr. Rothney's letter was spatked by an article that appearedon page two of the Jan. 18 issue of the ARGUS. It stated that "Mr. Harding, a lecturer in psychology before being clumsily dismissed, breathed a lot of twentieth century thought into Lakehead University and set off much of the critical dialogue concerning universities which has been heard both here and across Canada over the last year." Mr. Harding is being flown in from Simon Fraser University to be a resource person at the Symposium on Education being held Feb. 8 - 11. The article sighted above centred around his planned visit. Harding went on to say that he was asked to "drop around" to become better acquainted with the top administrators and thus facilitate a job off!!r from the university. Jim Harding came to Lakehead University as a lecturer in Psychology in 1966. He had formerly been at the University of Saskatchewan, both as a student and as a teaching assistant. His approach to education was immediately tagged as radical by Lakehead's administration. In referring to the letter appearing ;n the January 25 edition of the Argus, Hardi116 said he felt that this "character investigation" was made as an effort to see if he could "fit-in" as a member of the faculty. Harding was also the charter President of SUPA, Students Union for Peace Association. He was active in this capacity for the duration of his stay at the Lakehead. Again referring to Rothney's letter, Harding said "it contained no reality of the hesitancy exhibited by the administration, and no reality of the pressure that was brought to bear upon me." During the past summer ne attempted to build interest in student-centred teaching, a concept he actively experimented with in his third year Social Psychology classes. "President Tamblyn invited me to dinner at his home in an effort to get to know me better before offering me a job on the faculty" Harding said. To his knowledge, Harding was the only faculty member who received such investigation before a job offer. On his arrival on the West Coast where he presently resides, he was instrumental in setting up an educational environment, the fo~dations of a free university. The farm of Whonock, 30 miles south of Vancouver, is still in operation, though not functioning as yet as it was originally intended to. After a period of several weeks, Mr. Harding finally received a letter which made it clear Mr. Harding is studying for his- PhD. at Simon Fraser University. LUST progress report - student television soon to operate Lakehead University Student Television (LUST) is moving rapidly toward its first productions. The senior lounge was wired over Christmas for the closed circuit monitors which will carry LUST programming. The only electronic hangup which remains is a two week wait for the amplifier, necessary to send TV signals from the studio in the main building to the lounge where each show will be presented several times. Prospects for this year indicate that shows will be produced on a relatively small scale, perhaps two or three per week. But it • -~ will probably be not more than a year before daily programmes are feasible. Organization to date has been in the hands of a relatively small group of students who want to sort out most of the "labour pains" inevitable at the start of such a venture, without having a great number of people involved in each hassle. This stage is now past and LUST offers an open invitation to any student interested in exploring the fascinating television medium, but with the reminder that it's almost all work. The television unit is \lUtonomous from both the AMS, and the administration. It is governed by its own code of ethics, and by a letter of intent signed with the administration. A move by the AMS to institute censorship of programming has been defeated after an interesting battle, and our student leaders remain comfortably "non-involved' ' . The generous cooperation of the administration has carried over in to the area of programme content, which, it agrees, should not be formally interfered with. LUST and The ARGUS are cooperating in the use of news releases from Can- adian University Press, ano the relationship between student newspapers and student television will be studied jointly. The first programmes are now in the works. They include a talk with a sortof-a-higiy folk singer, a depth interview with Dr. K. J. Charles about his recent book, a diatribe by Fred (Red Power) Kelly, and more. LUST has no office; it does not intend to cloister itself like so many student organizations. Any student with time or ideas is urged to talk with anyone wearing a LUST button. ...... �Page 2 February 2, 1968 THEA.OUS Economics professor receives grant to do study of Keewatin Dr. K. J. Charles, Professor and Chainnan of thP. Department of Economics at lakehead University has been awarded a $5,000 grant by the Regional Development Branch of the Ontario Dept. of Economics and Development to carry on a socio-economic survey of the Kenora-Keewatin area. The study is already underway with the report due in April. This is the first in what _ Dr. Charles hopes will be a'. series of economic studies of Northwestern Ontario communities. He feels that the data collected from such academic studies will help in formulating an -intelligent and imaginative policy for bringing about greater economic activity throughout this region. 'Dr. Charles is well qualified for studies in development economics. A recognized expert in the field, he taught honors and graduate courses in development economics at the University of Manitoba from 1959 until lakehead University brought him to Ontario as the Chainnan of the Economics Department. He did his Ph.D graduate work at McGill University after earlier studies and teaching at the University of Madras in India. Kenora was the logical starting point for the study. The Ogilvie mill closure, the high Indian population and Kenora's proximity to the border of another province makes the area an interesting challenge in regional econo- mies problems. Dr. Charles is particularly interested in the problem of the "one industry town." "I am very interested in the economic impact of the closure of the Ogilvie Flour Mill on the Keewatin-Kenora region," he said today. "The dependence of some regions of our economy on certain single industries has become a matter of national concern as a result of the closure or planned closure of certain large finns in different parts of Canada. This lends an element of urgency to obtaining scientific information regarding the real impact of these closures on the affected regions." "We are also interested in finding out the economic significance of the paper mill to the Kenora region." "The service industry, especially the tourist industry," said Dr. Charles, "is of vital importance to the economy of Kenora and we are therefore, interested in learning more about its impacton the Kenora economy and its potentials of growth." "Our study is also- likely to • throw some light on the question of whether Kenora is more economically related to Manitoba than to the rest of Ontario.'' "Economists are increasingly becoming aware of the importance of the human factor in economic development and our study will also make an assessment of the human WANTED Male student with car to supervise a crew of carrier salesmen evenings and or weekends Phone 345-8694 REXALL Cough and Cold Remedies at Special Savings Triple Action ANTI-COUGH SYRUP 4 oz.

"A few years ago," he said, "it was widely believed that the movement of labor to areas of industrial dynamism was the hallmark of economic effeciency. For a number of reasons in recent years this view has been subjected to considerable modification and and critical review. Some of the reasons for this change are the increasing congestion in cities, the pressure on water resources, and the problem of industrial smog." "Also there is an increasing awareness that regional dev- elopment is necessary fo1 stable national development. This has been prompted by the demonstration of orderly regional progress and growth in several countries such as Italy, the U.K., Sweden and Russia." Dr. Charles is the author of the recent controversial book, "The Myth of Inflation." Unexpected results from wine party The wine and cheese party, vario.u sly described by students as "great", "a ball", and "a horror show" almost caused cancellation of Monte Carlo Nite and the dance Thursday. AMS President, Bill Weiler at one point considered the cancellation when Tom Macleod, Chief Proctor, told him, "It's up to you as President, but I'd cancel tonight or have a regular cop at the door." Macleod feared that the fights which marred the party would be continued at the dance. It was later decided that the dance would run as planned without outside help. Both Weiler and Dean Kerr felt that the affair had been going well until the fight between Bud Crocker and Bob Wynn broke out. Observers • stated that Crocker attacked Wynn, who was on duty as a proctor, when Wynn would not allow him to re-enter the Great Hall. In the ensuing scuffle Crocker received a cut over his nose. It took six or seven students to hold Wynn back. At this point the proctors locked the main doors of the Great Hall, leaving Wynn outside and Crocker inside. Wynn later returned to renew the fight and pulled at the doors in an effort to get in. Wynn had little difficulty breaking the lock on the doors with one pull. In so doing he also shatt~red the glass in one door, spraying bystanders with a fine sprinkling of glass. Head of Security, Ted Broughton and Director of Finance David Morgan arrived later to assess the damages. Dean Kerr suggested that "As administrators, this should be none of our affair and we should leave it MARINA INN (Alias Mariaggi) C01T11ptable and willing youngboys andgir1s who are willing to take the step to the adult way of living.

Thirsty fellow drops in for a drink. -photo by z atulsky to the students to work out." As the students were already clearing out of the Hall and mopping up, he was able to convince them that the students could in fact handle it. Commenting later on the event, Dean Kerr said "You could have a gathering of archbishops in there and if you let them have all the wine they wanted they'd be shouting blasphemies from the ceiling." He also expressed doubt at the wisdom of holding the event for an intended four hours, but stressed that but for the fights it would have been an enjoyable party. The washrooms and halls of the university were testimony enough to the effects of the wine. it took the cleaning staff until the next day to catch up, replacing the odour with the smell of disinfectant. Several hours after the party, Monte Carlo Nite and the final dance brought the major Carnival events on the campus proper to a close.

DIAL 844-1743 �February 2, 1968 Page 4 the roar of the washroom the smell of the crowd Winter Carnival has come and gone leaving a bad taste in some mouths and a distinct odour in every washroom, most halls, and a few stairways. The combination of the torchI ight parade and the wine party has left many doubts about Carnival itself and about university students in particular. Many are worried about what the big bad outside world is going to think of us. Past experience has shown that there are grounds for these worries. What concerns us most is the wine party. There will be those who wi II say that it is typical of juveniles and that university students are irresponsible. Some of these wi II not, I isten to any argumefllts to the contrary. But hopefully there is just enough common sense Ieft in the twin cities to believe us when we say that this is not the case. Any group of 300 people, when allowed as much wine as they can drink, will get sloshed out of their skulls no matter what their age. That was our first mistake -- too much wine for too many people. Inexperience was another factor. It was inexperienced drinking rather than irresponsibility that led to the sticky fiasco in the Great Hal I. Inexperience does not necessarily decrease with age but only with experience. As for the fight -- well of course the wine had something to do with it. Wine is an odd substance that may produce different effects each time. But there was one definite cause for the main bout. By closing the doors and forbidding people to come and go, officials left themselves wide open. This action is bound to achieve a simi tar result where no alcohol exists. It was also a particularly dangerous spot in which to put the proctor force. That was our second mistake -- creating the atmosphere for a fight. The third mistake was appointing a proctor who had been drinking in direct violaHon of the Judicial Committee's constitution. We must of course admit to mistakes and we do readily. Before anyone tries to suggest that it was the fault of youth and a direct reflection of their irresponsibility, think of the drunken br~wls held by political parties or Shriners under the guise of adulthood. Immaturity in drinking habits Sir: Wine and Cheese Party? What a disasterous mistake! Nothing but a cheap drunk! I've never seen anything so degrading on this University campus. Never have so many got so goofed in so short a time. What a spectacle to see young people drinking wine • until they were senseless! The wine flowed too freely and the inexperienced drank too quickly. It was only a matter of time and the washrooms were ankle-deep in winepuke. Heaven only knows how many were saved from drowning in their own barf! But the ultimate came when the staggering student broughtup on the outside steps of the University Centre in front of a dozen or so important-looking visitors! What an advertisement for an institute of higher learning! And back in the Great Hall, a few fist fights broke out and the wine party had to be shut down prematurely. There will never be another Wine and Cheese party on campus. (Just like there will never be another Torch Light Parade through the City of Port Arthur). When are Lakehead University Students going to grow up and start acting like the adults they're supposed to be? It may be playful and sporty to get looped. But is this the kind of school spirit we need? Keep it off the campus. Hold it privately if you must. Do your excess drinking where it does no harm and wake up in the morning with no regrets. Why jeopardize the reputation of the University? The student's Carnival Committee had good intentions with a Wine and Cheese party. However, the committee failed to consider the immaturity of the student body. For this they get a black mark in my book. signed Pipe-up THeARGUS VOLUME 11, No. XVI February 2, 1968 The ARGUS is published weekly by the Alma Mater Soci!ty _of Lakehead University.

Sir: Mr. Ken Robinson's inept attempt to malign technology in his latest Argus article (Protest, Jan. 8/68) does not go unnoticed or unanswered. Cloaking such diatribe in sloppy terminology (eg., dehumanizes) does little to veil the matter either. The human mechanism is differentiated functionally from all others in that it is the only one of the entire series capable of producing energy-consuming devices outside its organic entity. The history of the human race may well be stated in terms of the ability of man to consume ever-increasing amounts of extraneous (nonhuman) energy. The success story of North America is written in terms of the use of energy other "than human sweat and toil. The factor of energy, translated into power to do work, overrides all other factors in the spectacular technological growth of this Continent. At last, it is possible to dispense with the worst tyranny of all history, which is, of course, the tyranny of human toil. It is now possible to get rid of 'the root of all evil', money, and to replace scarcity with abundance. It is possible to get rid of the inter• ference and incompetence of politics, and its everlasting foolish and dangerous effects upon social affairs. But, m:>re to the point, the growth of power is compelling the elimination of the Price System and all its trappings, and its replacement with • functional scientific social control. If Mr. Robinson is really concerned with social change, he would do well to realize that social change is being precipitated by the replacement of man-hours by extraneous energy in the operation and maintenance of our industrial social mechanism. An energy control technique, a design to control and direct the power of technology for social ends, offers freedom and security beyond Mr. Robinson's dream. Get with it Ken. Salute! William Sheridan �February 2, 1968 PcUie 5 Ko-Ree-A by Boyd and Chad Little Baines Sawbuck, a blond haired, blue eyed child of 9 was visiting his Uncle Sam Brown & Rootdown at the ranch on a clear but chilly day in the fall. Uncle Sam had always been good to Baines, and many evenings after the dishes had been done, little Baines and Uncle Sam would sit before the fire and talk about America and Democracy. Sometimes, his uncle would tell him that anyone could grow up to become the mayor of little Baines' home- Angry now, he stalked into the house and called his Uncle Sam up, so to speak. Uncle Sam said that he would be there right away, and that he would have some ranch-hands with him. When Sam arrived, Baines showed him from the bathroom window where he had left the wagon. Taking a second look, Uncle Sam pointed to the open garage door in the next yard, and said: "There it is Baines, over there, I told you we couldn't trust those subversive bastards." At once, Uncle Sam decided that it was necessary to call a meeting of the neighbour, and while it was in progress Baines interjected something he had forgotten; that there were 83 plastic soldiers in the wagon as well. Uncle Sam said thanks to Baines and continued with the community meeting. little Baines town, and other times he would tell Baines of the great evil threat across the blue waters of the great sea, and how little Baines must recognize that the people who lived in the lands over the sea were not his friends and that they were out to take away what his forefathers had bequeathed to him. "This is no case of mistaken identity, no case of mistaken location. We shall continue to use every means available to find a prompt and peaceful solution. We have taken, and we are taking, certain precautionary measures to make sure that our ranch-hands are prepared for any contingency that might arise in this area. After his uncle had gone to visit his aunt upstairs, Baines would sit before the dying embers of the fire and think about what he had been taught. Often he wondered to himself: "How will I ever be able to remember all the things that Uncle Sam told me about this wonderful land, and how will I be able to protect it?" After returning from his Thanksgiving {)ay holiday at the ranch, he learned the truth of Uncle Sam's words. A funny looking little boy appeared in the back yard of the house next door; he was smaller than Baines and his skin was yellow. Cautiously at first, Baines moved over to the white picket fence that separated the two yards and asked: "What's your name and where do you come from?'', to which the other boy replied; "My name is Ko-Ree-A, and I come from a land across the sea." Astonished, Baines fled to the house. He remembered what his Uncle Sam had told him and he realized that he had come face to face with a subversive. Deciding right away that he must be careful of this new boy, little Baines mounted his wagon and patrolled the property line. Interrupted by a call from the kitchen, Baines left his wagon on a part of the yard where there was no fence. After lunch he returned outside and to his amazement, found that his wagon was no longer there. He remembered that KoRee-A had been watching him earlier and admiring all the little gadgets that Baines had on the wagon. He called out to Ko-Ree-A to return his proPt:rty, but received no answer. Uncle Sam The best result would be for the whole community to persuade them to return our wagon and our plastic soldiers. I hope that they will recognize the gravity of the situation. I am confident that our people will exhibit in this crisis - as they have in other crisis - detennination and unity." At the close of the meeting, all the neig'1bours stood around and discussed whether or not Uncle Sam and Baines were right in what they were doing, but then they realized that Uncle Sam was always right, so they went home. Meanwhile, Baines continued to cry ovc:r his lost wagon and mostly, over what the other boys in the neighbourhood would say if be didn't get it back. But that's another story. • CANADA • by Goaloa Le-.d-, Bill C•l95 will make it possible, witla a bit .no~ 41uiet paper work in -Ottawa, to pre~ent Canadians &om JIOelses$iQg weapons.

One of the reasons for this is Canc1rlian University Service Oversea!" Rudy Carter, Assistant Director of the East African branch of CUSO was the guest at a luncheon sponsored by the Lakehead University branch, and spoke to the informal gathering of interested people. when a program has other priorities such as the furthering of its own cause, then the work that has to be done ofter suffers to the political angle. This is basically how the American Peace Corps works. Countries are now realizing the detrimental effects of having about four hundred young Americans running around their country, playing good samaritan, and collecting a salary from the U.S. government. service and education -photo by zatulsky technical training CUSO was designed primarily to serve countries overseas. There are many such international bodies trying to achieve the same ends, that of rendering technical assistance to underdeveloped countries, and educating Canadians to make them aware of the problem~ that do exist. But CUSO has the greatest chance for success, for, according to Mr. Carter, what the people in the underdeveloped countries need is not money in the form of aid, but trained technicians to help them advance their living standards and to provide alternatives· to the American and British programs. Canadian University Service Overseas offers these countries a chance to get out from under the influence of the United States and the British. preferred by Bob Leggett The days of the general BA are over, according to Mr. Carter. CUSO needs people with technical training. "We don't send underdevelpeople to underdeveloped countries.'' The langua&e barrier is not as great as 1t would seem. "Day to day work is done in English in many parts of Africa," said Mr. Carter. "A working knowledge of French also helps." "The people are usually amazed to see a young Canadian who has taken the time and effort to learn even a few words of their language", he said. ' "Most white men they know won't lower themselves to learn the common language." Here again CUSO -has its advantages. They put on crash "We couJd be the best white mediator in the world today", programs for their new members Mr. Carter said. "We are the to teach them some of the lansenior Commonwealth country. guage of the countries they are Diefenbaker led the move going to -- usually taught by a against South Africa's racist person of that country.

CUSO is not a Canadian Peace Corps. The frame of reference for the two organizations is entirely different. The U.S. program places workers in areas as foreign aid gifts, while CUSO finds personnel for a country's government to hire as a civil servant. Political orientation is another of CUSO' s strong points. The organization is not aligned with any political group or philosophy. As Mr. Carter said, Lightfoot the wallpaper man CUSO is the third largest technical assistance program in the world. The largest is the Peace Corps, w~th about 15,000 people actively involved. CUSO has at present 815 people in foreign countries. All the carnival wheels and Greg Tuck and I hung around after the plane emptied -- no Lightfoot. Five Minutes. The side men strolled down the ramp and Lightfoot sauntered out. He stopped on the tarmac and gazed at a flying jet like he was getting another inspiration. He knew he had all the college kids watching him, digging him like crazy, because that's what Lightfoot's all about. He gets his inspirations from wall paper and rain and bullrushes and go-go girls and airplanes in the morning. He greeted the small crowd with ahalf-limp handshake and 1957 Elvis Presley sneer. "Gord, I'm from the ARGUS at Lakehead University; I'd like an interview -- say about fifteen minutes.'' "Yeah, sure. Tomorrow.'' "I've got a deadline today so I need it today." "Okay, come on over to the high school.'' He turned and swaggered out of the terminal. The small crowd scrambled to follow. "If you don't have two spot lights it'll be a half-assed show, if"that's what you want. Didn't you read the contract?" People jumped and people ran to right the wrong and shortly everything was . . . "pretty good". At the hotel Lightfoot took off his three-quarter length suede coat, ruffled up a pillow and sprawled on the bed. He tugged his orange-brown bellbottom pants down over the suede cowboy boots and threw a pair of wire-rimmed glasses from his wrinkled white shirt to the table. "Okay, let's get it going," he yawned. "How do you feel about yourpopularity? Like, releases in the States?" "I consider myself a Canadian artist. I like the States better than Canada. People there are more human. They can hate and love and be lonely. They're morehungup." "Are Canadians more friendly?" "Everyone can be friendly if they try.'' Conversation drifted to the war in Vietnam and the Great Society for a while. "What are you asking all these stupid bloody questions for?" "Sorry. When's your next 45 coming out on the hit parade?" No answer. "What do you try to do in your writing besides make money?" ''The money looks after .ts elf. There's no message in Nhat I write. I just write what I feel." Lightfoot met the Lake1ead' s finest folk-song writer, ;reg Tuck, asked him to play md Tuck obliged. He listened and applauded. "Compelling, but the kind of thing you get hung up on.'' Then Lightfoot had to leave for a television interview. We shook hands. "Interview okay eh? Well, we'll see you tonight" -assuming we'd attend. We did. Later at Selkirk gym, between all the songs off all the LP's, all the bad jokes and Harry Belafonte's office, "Here's a new song -- which I wrote for my new LP -- and it's the kind of thing that'll be big in about a year.

Sports Day at Winter Carnival could be tenned a bit less than a success this year. There seem to have been three causes; the wine and cheese party, the snow and a lack of organization and co-ordination among the S.A.S. itself. Forgetting the first two, I would like to say that most members did not do enough (i.e. nil) work toward their event. Next year I think the S.A.S. should schedule its events and then the executive should be on hand to co-ordinate the events and arbitrate any disputes. Sports Day results will appear next week in this space. When the basketball team was in Brandon a fc;w weeks ago, they had a surprise visit from last year's manager Mike "Windy" Wainwright. Mike, who graduated from L.U. last year, is now working at Eaton's in Winnipeg . ••• The L.U. skiers, in order to get in shape for future ski meets, are participating in local meets to sharpen their skills. Mike Wren seems to be the top performer this year so far. Mike and Tom Morton fought a tough battle last year for the top skier award, with Morton eventually winning the Male Athlete of the Year. Murray Smith of the Nor'Wester Hockey Team is the top LU scorer in L.C.H.A. play this year. Murray is in second place in scoring in a race which is dominated by Lake Superior State. The • fieldhouse is nearing completion, and everyone in the athletic department is hoping that this project will improve support at athletic events. I would imagine that there are some people at this university who have never seen a hockey or basketball game. • •• Quote of the week: If you can't play a sport, write a column • Ron Perozzo. Hussey takes it on the chin (again) by Larry Hebert Boyd Hussey will probably not play hockey again this season. As most of you know, Boyd was a goalie for the Nor' Westers until a disasterous weekend in Superior, Wisconsin. There he was ruthlessly hacked down by the stick of Bruce Chicoine of the Yellow Jackets. His jaw was broken, and he received a few cuts on the inside of his mouth. Since then_ his jaw has been wired shut and be has been on a liquid diet. A recent I.C.H.A. ruling has shown just how much the league tries to screw LU. Bruce Chicoine, mild-mannered forward of the Yellow Jackets and sometimes expert backstabber (as Lakehead fans can attest to) was suspended for three games plus the remaining portion of the SuperiorLakehead game from which he was ejected. At this point he has two games this weekend here against LU. This is a smart move by th e league to prevent any retaliation by LU players. Chicoine should have been banished for the rest of the season because he deliberately tried to injure Hussey. Now the big hurt comes. Boyd Hussey has also been suspended presumably because it takes "two to tango". Boyd's suspension is for the same two games. It matters little because he couldn't play anyway. The idea of the suspension is whatirksNor'Westerofficials. Boyd was suspended for provoking Chicoine (he admits to saying a few uncomplimentary words to Bruce) and for not wearing a mask. Why did the referees allow him to play without a mask? The league should suspend the referees too and get everyone into the act. As for Boyd's provoking Chicoine, Lakehead fans know that Bruce was not the most level-headed player in Junior Hockey and he seems to have deteriorated in intercollegiate play. Lets see a big crowd out at the Arena this weekend. Lets win two for Hussey. -➔ n 0 = CD CD n c CT --~ Look to Appolon #2 Appolon #1 ':I' CD Looking for a Deal?

Symposium: imposing and exposing It is high time ~is university had an intellectual impact on the Lakehead community. At present, L.U. is renowned for its student drunks, naughty newspaper, and 10% off each paycheck for the Building Fund. For years, advertise· ments have read: Send your son to Lakehead U. •· this keeps the money in Northwestern Ontario, . and keeps our economy booming. Publicity appears to be geared at concern for the economic welfare of this area, rather than to stress the intellectual atmosphere and academic standards (or non• standards, depending upon the department), which ideally should be a determining factor in choosing Lakehead. Such an unnatural stress on economics may be a major reason for this lack of impact on the ultraconservative trend of the community's awareness. The few speakers who have been brought into the area by the University, have carried with them a breeze from the outside world. But this breeze, typically, was hopelessly lost in the strong gales off Lake · Superior. So, in "Bobby Curtola land", is it not the students and the faculty here who are best situated to clear the Lake Superior Cloud? With this in mind, the AMS is sponsoring a Symposium next weekend, Feb. 8th, 9th, 10th, and 11th. Several outspoken individuals have been obtained as resource persons and discussion leaders. They will be keynote speakers on Friday evenin·g, and Saturday morning, and discussion may centre around the views which they will present. Certainly Jim Harding is no stranger to this campus. His controversial ideas set many students, faculty and administrative members thinking. Either they agreed with most Qf his thoughts, or completely rejected them. But the Lakehead community at large has not been exposed to his view• points. Larry Anderson and Dr. A. Asimi are presently on staff at L.U. While Mr. Anderson sup• ports a "participatory democracy" as a system of government for a university, Dr. Asimi does not agree that students should have a major voice, or responsibility, in deciding academic policy. Peter Larson, Finance If you disagree with these opinions, well, dammit, come and fight it out at the Symposium. If you agree, then voice your support. If you couldn't care less, you're an apathetic bastard, and the person this Symposium has been created for. Commissioner for the Ontario Union of Students, and presently attending the University of Western Ontario, will deliver a paper on student government and the concept of the com• munity of scholars. Bob Baldwin this fall refused a schola.ship from the University of ·western Ontario to work for the Canadian Union of Students. He was at Lake- head during the Registration crisis, a few months ago. Bob is an advocate of student syndicalism which is a strong stand of the Union Generale des Etudiants de Quebec (UGEQ). CUS does not have a policy statement on syndicalism, but .has strong resolutions dealing with the Quality of Education. Bob will be here to explain these. Ian MacKenzie, resource person from Rochdale College, will be at Lakehead University on February 8 to take part in the Educational Symposium. He will be here for a series of discussions during the day and a speaking engagement at 8:00 p.m. that evening in the University Centre Theatre. Mr. MacKenzie is one of many who are working in education by teaching and learning simultaneously in the free atmosphere of Rochdale College in Toronto. Those of us here at Lakehead who think we are getting an education •· any kind of an education let alone a good one -· should find his ideas extremely enlightening. Rochdale College is an attempt at education incorporating not only traditional material in a much freer environment but also constant questioning of the validity of any static theory describing a "philosophy of education". Rochdale is one among an ever growing number of experiments in Canada which are proving if by their existence alone that our educational system is seriously inadequate and needs radical change. Reali zing that the dialogue occurring during the Symposium will be meaningless if restricted to the members of this university, invitations have been extended to students and faculty of the Teachers College and Confederation College. A limited number of high school students and teachers have also been asked to attend. The students attending the Teachers College seem very concerned over the failure of amalgamation with L.U. This union is undoubtedly an excellent move, raising the calibre of elementary school teacher education, thereby improving the quality of education in grade school. But this union, from all appearances, will not take place, due to unsatisfactory salary negotiations. Should not professors who are concerned with the quality of university education also be concerned with the quality of primary school education? And does not this concern weaken when stress is put on financial gain? The appearance of Confederation College on the Lakebead scene, has posed the question; What is the position of University Schools within the University? A statement can be made that University Schools have no place here, and should be integrated with Confederation College. But there are many reasons for not integrating, and students on both campuses should be made aware of these. The underlying question in the above discussions is one of university education •· what is its aim? and who decides what this aim should be? Is the university an intellectual ivory tower, set apart from its community, and tossing out insecure bodies onto the industrial meat market? On the other band, is the university a social institution, being subject to social pressures, or applying pressures on society, and the community encompassing it? If the latter is the case, it will be brought out in the discussion groups, and in the final session of the Symposium. At this final session, it is hoped that some consolidation of ideas from all the discussion groups, will take place; and that this may aid individuals concerned with the apathetic isolation of the Lakehead, and of "Snakehead U." � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

It was moved and carried that if the Winter Carnival Committee exceeds the budget by a sum great-• er than can be covered by profits from the Formal dance, that it will be covered by the l.M.S. A discussion on the hiring of bands for the Winter Carnival functions Treasurer Tocheri mentioned he knew several bands which would play for the full week for a special or package rate. Chief Justice Dutchuk sugeested that this could lead to trouble with the Muscian 1 s Union. Mr. w. Aitken (Bus. Adm.) outlined that each club function might not like the same ban -:l and moved that the hiring of bands be left up co the individual organizations holding dances during Winter Carnival. This was carried, with the final remark by Treasurer Tocheri that even record dances could lead to trouble with the Muscian 1 s Union. was disputed, 1 The actions of the A. M. S. regarding the supposed 11 Get Acquainted 11 dance with Northwestern University of Minneapolis was criticized from the floor. After the dance had been planned, Mr. D. Gardiner, A.M.S. Business Manager, phoned the Program Consultant of the Fort William Ski Club to inform him of the dance. He found that arrangements for enter-tainment had already been made, nnd the Program Consultant from the Ski Club urged the University to stop publicity on the dance. Mr. J". Edwards (Science) suggested that in future more direct ties be made with the Chambers of Commerce 01, both cities nnd moved that the LM.S. should write Northwestern for more definite arrangements on future trips, as well as, an apology for hav~ng sponsored a social event without consulting the guests, Dr. Merrill, representing W.U.S,C. (World University Service Conference), outlined a progrRm for a conference on Turkey in Waterloo. Dr. Merrill requested a loan to cover expenses for 2 delegates to this conference~ including Miss Rosanne Candido, chosen as one of 39 delegates from across Canada to travel to Turk9V for W.U.S.C. He also mentioned that this loan would be repaid from funds taken in from the W.U.S.Ccmovies and other function •• A motjon was carried that the A.M.S. should advan~s �5 ~--·w. U.S .C. ~100 per delegate, with no more than 2 delegates, for a .con-- .. ference on Turkey in Waterloo. Mr. W. Roman Petryshyn, (Arts) next read a letter from Mr. Morley Mitchell, Editor of the Literary Review. In the letter, Mr. Mitchell outlined his dismay at the lack of material for this project and because of this disinterest, had to return the grant from the 1\.M.S. He suggested that the funds not spent be forwarded to the accounts of the Mediwn. Treasurer Tocheri said that the reason that the newspaper had trouble was the fact that the interest had waned in the staff and referred to the :&st unpublished issue as garbage. Mr. Petryshyn sugeested that the money be reverted to the Account of next year 1 s Review. Mr. T. Kelly, (Arts Society) suggested that a monetary prize should be set up next year~ so that this would give students a greater impetus to submit material for the Review. Chief Justice Dutchak suggested a literary supplement to the newspaper. Mr. F. Penner (Science) suggested the formation of a Literary Club. It was moved that the full !1!;500 allotted to the Literary Review revert to the A.H.S. and th~t recommendations be made to next year's Council to set aside the money for the Literary Review. A second point by Mr. Petryshyn, concerning night classes, and the reason why students must take them, was tabled for further discussion. A motion was carried that the Finance Committee look into the matter of honoraria and make concrete recommendations at next meetings which will be held before the close of nominations for the next year's Executive of the A..M.S. 11 Honoraria 11 is the reimbursement for time spent by the Executive in the form of special favours, usually monetary. After descriptions of conduct at past dnnce, it was moved that a special Police Force, composed of A.M.S. members should bring offenders during Winter Carnival or later, before the Judicial Committee for trial. A.ny member of the fl. .M.S. was urged to write a formal note of complaint if they noticed any misdemeaners. The meeting wearily ended at 11:15 p.m. Jean Jordan and Jack Edwards are selling tickets to the Winter Carnival Formal. The price is ~3.00, with dancing starting at 10;00 p.m. in the New Library.

The cause of this epoc-~aking development in international affairs is to be found prj_marily in Asia. The Soviet Union's gradual shift from a revolutionary to a revisionist stance is directly related to the Sino-Soviet n ideological 11 schism. The Moscow-Peigping split, however is caused not by the fleeting b ubble 0f a difference of opinion but rather on empirical phenonona that wi2.l be a~ound for quite a w~1ile. Firstly J the split is occ2..s:i.oned by- the natural competition for prestige and influ2~c\J among ciny two grsat powers, In this case it is for the leadership of the world revolutionary movement. There is also the natural diffe rence between tho outlook of a 11 have 11 nation, the wealthy European Russia, and that of the 11 have not 11 l\.sian power, China. Conse- que·ntly the Soviet Union is ruled by communist left"wing Marxists who want to preserve the stEttus quo; China by right-wing Marxists v1ho want change. Lastly there is the pressure of China 1 s fRntastic population growth pushing through the Meng0lian Tiepub lic ( that was set up as a buf-· fer state) and against the frontiers of thG near--empty Russian Steppes~ The Soviets and t\mericans find themselves bedfellows in wanting to l imit the power of Chinao For the Soviets, This 11 peaceful co--existence 11 between them and the hated Capitalists has been made more palatable by the fact that Western governments no longer send buyonet--wcilding soldiers in- to break up strikes or carry on a depression war-depression cycle of business advefr• ture. In fact? in many respects the largGr labour unions_ seem to possess the more power •. Rocently certain steel and aluminum companies tried to hike prices well above the A.dministrationis price guidelines and .got shot down for it. Yet the wnge settlement of the recent N.Y. Transport workers Union, also violating the price guidelines, elected only a slight grunt from Washington. The Warsaw P.::i_ct nations t'oo have changed" They now openly experi-ment with the profit motive and both Poland and Czecho lovakia have ex-• pressed interest in joining ·the General ~grcement on Tariffs and Trade even though tariffs are a purely capitalist device.

Recent moves by the Soviet Union show tho identity of interest in action~ The Tashkent declaration la.y~ng tho ground work for peace in the Indian subcontinent was th0 wort primarily of Chairman ti.leksei Nikolayevich (known i!.1 the West as Premier Kr.::sygin.) By engineering this declaration the Soviet Union has gainod c~odence for its claim of being an isian power interested in the wolfaro of Asians while at the same time it has strengthened the naturally anti-Chinese subcontinent. If lasting peace is "'.chieve"d between the Indians and Pakistanis, the Himalayas will once again be an effective barrier against the north. __ Recent Soviet aid promises to north Vietnam carry on this policy of blocking China.

' ..., ,., ....,,.. r ~ �7 it is crucially important to growth of the economy and to higher living standards, says the Economic Council of Canada. The council said in its second annual review that one step needing immediate attention is rapid, substantial expansion of education after high school so that no qualified student faces -any financial barrier to higher education. 11 (CP news report, Ottawa, January 5, 1966.) Behind these conclusions lies a deluge of statistics and thought. An ample supply of them may be found in either the recently issued, second annual report of the Economic Council of Canada, or in publications based on the findings of the New Democratic Party Research Department. Referring to the 11 basic message delivered ' in this year's report of the Economic Council of Canada 11 , which is essentially the same as that presented by New Democrats in the last federal election, the Financial Post commented, 11 It is not a palatable truth, but the facts produced by the council make it unarguable." That 11 basic message 11 is that essentially Canadian productivity and consequently prosperity, is well below what it could and should be because far too few Canadians receive the amount and quality of education or training a healthy, modern economy demands. A.fter stating that education and training is 11 fundamenta1n to the need for improved productivity and recommending that university education be made available to every qualified student without nny financial barri~r, the council's suggestions stop. At this point the council chairman, Dr. John J. Deutsch, feels that it is up to 11 the politicans" to decide how the council's recommendations should be implemented. HmJ can that financial barrier 11 be removed? The pre sent federal student loan system not only does not remove financial barriers, it adds a substantial interest rate on top of the high university fee. 11 Supposing the federal government eventually decides to live up to Prime Minister Pearson's long over-due promis~ to introdue a scholarship plan instead of the loan system which it gave us, will this satisfy the council's recommendations? It appears that if it is introduced, the scholarships will only be made available to students willing to claim, in writing, a lack of financial independence. Just us, (in the words of the Financial Post), "education, not wolfare, must bo the real war on poverty 11 , so education in our society is a matter of basic human rights; as well as a matter of a highly rewarding (to the whole nation) form of economic investment. Well~ what do you think of stud:Jnts b:,ing in a position whore they must 11 beg 11 for scholarships or do without? Would scholarships go to students as a Hreward 11 for lacking pur9hasing power or should university fees be removed for everyone maintaining a high enough academic standard, regardless of economic status? Nevertheless, any form of a scholarship plan would be closer to meeting the demands of the Economic Council of Canada than the existing federal student loan arrangem0nt. But why is university education not provided on the same basis as it is offered in our schools? Is it not obvious that post secondary education is just as imperative today ns high school oaucation was decades ago when free education was extended to that level? If the provincial governments ironically feel that the y can't channel enough of the public's taxes into directly improving society by paying for university education, there is no reason why tho federal govcrnment 9 in the face of the sombre warnings of CanadG 1 s top economists about tho need for greatly expanded educational servi~es, can't provide incentives which would lead the proYincial.- governme nts to introd uce fre o post-secondary eaucation. (The New Democratic Party has been proposing such un arrangement since its founding convention in 1961). In many cases the only way to make sure that 11 no qunlified student faces any financial barrier to higher education 11 would be to introduce student salaries, (dependent on academic achievement, of course.) But it seems unlikely that public opinion will become sufficiently informed to bri ne this 3b out in Ontnrio a uring 1966. ~ccording to the counc i l 's �8 report, the economic returns for govornment investment in ectucation 11 are likely to exceed by a considerabl0 margin those from most other types ,of expenditure.!! However, now, rather than seeking these high dividends by paying students so that they can pursue higher education completely free of any financial restrictions, our governments are accepting a situation whereby most students pay 11 through tho nose 11 at a rapidly rising rate for post secondary education, Meanwhile skilled labour is imported from abrond in a fruitless effort to raise Canadian productivity. No wonder foreign control over industry in Canada continues to increase, c.u.s. by Harvey Clue. Since the present A,M.S. Council has undertaken discussion on whether Lakehead University should join C.U.S. (Canndian Union of Students), a body which draws on attempts to draw campuses from all parts of Canada closer together, and since tho new ~.M.S. Executive to be elected on February 16, will probably furthor consider tho matter, and perhaps take concrete action, it might bo of interest to the students of this Univer-, sity to know some of the advantages nccompaning membership in c.u.s. Besides the obvious communication \vi th other Universities by means of meotings, conventions, Rnd the exchange visits of representatives, there are other less, yot still important advantages. For example, the students of universities who are members of the union, receive membership cards which entitle the holders to a 10 to 20 percent discount at all stores which nre mornbers of the integrated student discounts system. Most universities - in theory, at least - have a list of these di~count stores located in all parts of Canada. Moreover, C. U.S. offers 3. stude'nt life insurance policy and travel information. The latter will be of interest to those students who desire surmner employment abroado c.u.s. providGs information on suit~ble jobs plus accomodation during the temporary visit. International c.u.s. membership·cards are available which give students access to embassies and consuls· (Canadian) in the different countires. Incidentally, the cost per student per year for membership in C.U.S. is approximately~ .68 cents. · Thus there appear to bo., and this is only a sketchy outline ,of C.U.S. services, definite advantages both for the University and the students as members in the Union. Perhaps, Lakehead University will become a participant of this body, but the final outcome lays with the /J. .M. S. Council. 1966 WUSC Seminar in Turkey. A Lake,head University student, Miss Rosanne C~i'ndido has been selected to attend the World University Service of Canada Seminar in Turkey this summer~ She will join 38 other Canadian university students and five professors in a trip that starts Juno 30 in the Laurentians and proceeds to Istanbul viR Rome Rnd the Orient Express.

Man and God. By W.M.(J.:-.ck) Lammon. Is the mere fnct of tho existence or non-existence of God n point on which humanity must ponder? I think of the immeasurable time spent arguing the point when this time could be better spent in developing and im proving conditions in our mortal re al!i1. Did it m,;1. t t er to anyone of millions of Jews in Europe if God existed or not, ns their unanswered prayers rang out over the beating of their children dying by Christian compatriots? Did it m~tter to nny of thG innumer~ble mortally wounded soldiers ~s they fell fighting for numerous opposed causes, nll with ''God on our sidc. 11 I ask, is mere existence enough'? I realize that huge, conservative religions have been founded on the belief in God, and thnt these have evolved into today's churches. There is a resounding emphasis on 11 belief 11 or nccopt:rnce of the doctrine in these religions, n.s one lives n b,uo or prim~uily unhappy life so thAt he may gain a reward of eternal life. I think that man has matured enough not to expect 11 candy for bGing good, 11 c.nd any God who expects this nbe good, not nnught 11 atti tudo must be 8- figment of his or our imaginntions. Life is here to on joy, as only 1·J8 know how. We, of course, cannot forget those who :1re less or f'.lore f'ortunnte thnn ourselves. I say that we use the money allotted to war, churches, and other equally useless concepts, and train ourselves nnd th~ others around us to enjoy life. What need have we of prnyers if we have adapted most fully to our environment, are o.t peace 1'11 th one nnother, and a.bovc all 1 know how to liven full and rewarding existencu. Life 0ternal, with all its paradoxes, should be considered, if and when it cones. Each of tho Western religions, which includes Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, retains concepts that nre much too vngue to really be considered as the finc7.l ,,Truth. 11 If they arc, I re.::tlly cannot say, nor do I care. Each believes in the same God, but has murdered too many while believing these 11 Truths 11 to warrrrnt my belief in their God or their religions. In other i.-1ords, mankind must tc1.ke it upon himself to make certain of nn enjoynblc existence in th0 fnce of an ~pathetic or nonexist11nt God. P.S.

A.M.S. COUNCIL REPORT, FEBRUARY 7. A. letter was read to council from Mr. Morgan which stated that he disapproved of the A..M.S. report of the February 1st meeting, in the Medium, concerning Food Management . He felt that this should not have been printed in the newspaper, and that either the newspaper or the A.M.S. should send a note of apology to Mr. Childerhose. He also mentioned that the first reading, for him and Mr. Childerhose, was in the Medium. As the author of this previously mentio·ned r eport, I say it is my duty to report any proceedings of the Council to the student body. If this matter was not fully prepared, it should not have been presented to council, and the principals involved should have waited until the correct authorities were notified, There was ample time to ask that this matter be withdrawn from the Newspaper report prior to printing , if this request was warranted by the editors . After the reading of the letter, President Hess th,cn introduced Mr. Childerhose, representative of Food Management Services ~ To pre- vent misunderstandings, a motion was carried that the newspaper not be allowed to report on the matter at hand. I sugge st that the members of the A.M.S., who voted on this motion, read Section II, Article XI of the Constitution, under the title - Meetings; in which, it states that any member of the A,M.s., (which includes any full-time student) shall be en·titled, subject to the seating capacity of the room in which the meetings of the A.M.S. council are held, to attend meetings of the A.M.S. council meeting, the Medium has a duty to inform any absent members of the A.M.S, of the proceedings. As there were a few nonparticipant A.M.S, members there, all others have a right to hear the busines·s at hand . Considering the council knowledgeable of its own constitution, especialiy the President, this reporter discontinued his notes and relaxed to listen to the arguments presented. by W.M. (Jack) Lemmon. In the February 3, 1966 issue of "the Medium 11 that was very bitter and equally unjustified. The around the failure of the i . M. S. to allot funds to This club wished to send delegates to a convention there was an article article centred a political club . in Toronto. It only stands to reason that the governing student body of a University cannot be expected to give funds to a political club for that political club to furthe r its own political objec tives . If the Lakehead University Alma Mater Society had given money to the political club as requested, it would then be sponsoring directly candidates for a Senior Political Party - when not all of Lakehead University's seven-hundred and twenty students agree with the philosophy of that particular political party. It has been said that if the .A..M.S. had allowed the political club to send delegates to the conference in Toronto, the delegates wnuld return to the Lakehead much informed and better able to tell the students of the policies of the Senior Political Party. This is clearly a furthering of the political ambitions of one political party at the expense of all the students at Lakehead University . Another point of discussion was the reason why the A.M.s. Council had allowed political clubs on campus if the A.M.s . would not allot money for the political clubs to send delegates to nation-wide political conventions. As these political clubs were allowed to exist, the Council obviously recognized the necessity of having a knowl edge of the �2 political situation in the world today o However, it is not in the best interests of the whole student body to send delegates to conventions in order to better propagate ·the political philosophy of only one party~ At this time, it is neither financially nor physically possible to sponsor delegates to all party c onve ntions. Who draws the line? And where? The A.M.S. has drawn the line in the best interests of the student body as a whole, not just a few! Jack Edwards, (A.M.S. Science Representative.) CHIP ON HY SHOULDER. The aim of any newspaper is awareness. It is in an attempt to make the student body of Lakehead U. aware of elections that this issue has set up. February 16th is the date that students will cast . their ballots for the l.M.S. Executive of 1966-67. It is of vital importance to every student 1. that he cast his ballot, exercising hi~ franchise 2. that he exercise that franchise as an enlightened votero Each candidate· has a platform of proposals for the next year o It is • your duty to be aware of just what a particular candidate stands for and to know ~ho the candidates are. To help in this department the Medium has compiled the following list of candidates as of 4 p .. mo lfebruary 9th, the close of nominationso W. Tocheri - President Mike Wainwright - President Ian Thompson - Vice•-Prosident Ron Hider •·· Treasurer Donna Brownlee .. Secretary If you do not know the identity of the candidates your vote is not only a wasted effort it could seriously damage the governing mechanism of next year 1 s A.M.S. Council, You are encouraged to read the platfo.rms of tpe candidates for the Presidency; I fr, Tocheri and Mr. 1.ifainwright. You are also asked to watch for election conferences that may be held next week before the election day, The Medium is doing its best set up a press conference open to the student body where students will be able to get acquainted with candidates and freely question them on University and election issues~ Signs will be posted telling students the locat~on of the polls on election day. 1 to To th,is editor two issues particularly stand out. The first is that of Universal Accessability -· government paid academic and residence fees for University students. This affects you and I and it is an issue that, our governments are soon going to have to deal with. What will the view of our A.M.S. Council be? ~ould we settle for a more immediate solution to such rising costs by cutting fees only, or removing academic fee~ completely and leaving residence fees or vice versa? Residence fees for a single room vJill rise in the fall of 1966 to.. 1725. A. double room will cost d~6506 What will the effect of this be on present residence students? This is a question not only a:, Lake head but at every Canadian University. Your council is guided to a large extent by the stand of the executive. Where will they stand on such an issue? You and I cannot afford to cast an ignorant vote when the stakes are so higho Academic fees will rise also next fall. Secondly this University is an expanding University. What is the relationship between students, faculty, and administration? Should students have representation on the Senate or on a 11 Universi ty Council, 11 a sounding bpard for problems and expansion of facilities in both ~aculty and coursGs to be offered? At prGsent these issues involve a twostep process of student to faculty or student to administration and on up.

The following ideas and recommendations are of major concern:- 1 The !{.M.S •. council will be handling a minimum of ~30,000 next year.
