E are suddenly finding ourselves out of childhood and being accepted and treated as responsible young men and women. In fact, we are now on our own road to success or failure. Honest endeavour will find success (but however honest, laziness can only bring failure). This first year of university training is an embarkation point leading the student on into his chosen field of business. The embryo engineer who walks thru this door, pushes vigorously, thinking of the stresses set up in the hinges and pondering over the possibility of some day having all doors open automatically. The mining student feels the steel of the door knob and wonders what kind of ore the iron was extracted from; the forester examines the grain in the wooden frame and the arts student ambles in thinking of how the modern world is getting too specialized.

A. j �LAKEHEAD TECHNICAL INSTITUTE YEAR BOOK one hundred years ago the Indian tribes were the only civilization along the north shore of Lake Superior. Many legends have been handed down which are centered around scenic wonders of the region. P until form of One of these attractions is the Sea Lion on the shore of Silver Island. According to legend, the great Nanna Bijou, spirit of the Deep Sea Water, had two pets, a Thunder Bird and a winged lion, Nagochee. One day, after Nanna Bijou had received an urgent message from across the waters, he quickly mounted Nagochee and flew off. In his haste he left Thunder Bird behind on the island and she became very jealous of the lion during their absence. When the great lion came into sight, carrying his master back from his travels, Thunder Bird screeched and screamed until the heaven was filled with the noise and Nagochee and Nanna Bijou were thrown into the wildly surging sea. Nagochee tried to reach his master but could not because of the huge waves. Nanna Bijou finally made his way to shore unaided and, thinking that his pet had failed him, turned him into stone. To this day the faithful beast stands on the shore of the island looking solemnly out over the sea, awaiting the return of his beloved master. Another story is told of White Bear, an aged Ojibway leader who ruled over a peaceful, prosperous tribe at the mouth of the Kaministiquia River. The tribe had not been bothered by their enemies for a long time; one day word came that warriors were approaching in canoes from the upper reaches The old chieftain was greatly distressed because he was too old of the river. to lead his braves into battle and he scarcely knew how to ward off the enemy. His young daughter Green Mantle, seeing her father's anxiety, took her leave the next morning and paddled up the river to the Great White Falls. She left her canoe at the bottom of the gorge and proceeded up the river on foot. She soon reached the enemy camp and was captured and taken before the chief. They immediately decided to put her to death but she bargained with them until they agreed that she should lead them to her father's camp in exchange for her life. Very shortly she was placed in the head canoe and, following her suggestion, all the canoes were tied together. As they were travelling down the river very rapidly, anxious to reach the Ojibway camp they rounded a bend in the river just above the falls and due to the strong The entire tribe plunged headlong over current, could not save themselves.

This controversial matter Ottawa and Washington Canada can do the job. for And has been see-sawing back and forth between Now is the time for action. about fifty years. there are certainly good reasons why she should. The first one is that we need the power. There are three big reasons. The development can produce over two million horsepower, half of which will belong to Canada. And we face a serious power shortage nof only because of the continually increasing usage of electrical power by its present users, but also because of the expansion of Ontario Hydro present plant facilities, and the appearance of more and more new industries. officials say that new sources must be available by 1956 or the province will be compelled to build steam generating plants; that is going to cost us more than building the St. Lawrence Project, on top of which the actual cost of the developed power will be more expensive than the hydro-developed power. second big reason is the cheapening of transport costs and the promotion of the maximum The completion of the Seaway will make possible the into the Great Lakes System. use throughout the great waterway of boats drawing up to twenty-seven feet of water. This can mean the elimination of present transfer costs for all goods going from any part of the Great Lakes to a destination overseas or even to any point beyond Kingston for that matter.

And it is to get more efficient transportation for the Labrador ore that much of the present talk about the Seaway has developed from. We Canadians have but to look across the line to the south shore to get some idea of what is probably going to happen on the north shore some day. It seems like a good idea to get in step with the future tradition of stable at both right ends of the now. A third big reason has to do with defence. Without the seaway we might well divert a considerable amount of shipping to the Eastern Seaboard, and harking back to our experience An inland in the last war, that could be a mighty costly proposition if we have to fight again. seaway is going to give us far more protection for shipping because subs cannot do any harm past Quebec City. True we could tranship everything, but in modern war, we cannot afford to This is only part lose time and manpower which could have been saved by a little foresight. of the defence story: we need St. Lawrence power for war industry. we build it? It takes two things, money and know-how. And when you what we have accomplished in the past, it seems to me that we could build a Do we have money? Our Federal surpluses alone exceeded two billion dozen waterways. And any nation that can finance a war as we have done just dollars in the post war period. And know-how?

With no conception of what it would be like, my mind speculated with some very strange ideas. And on the morning in question my uncertainty increased when I dressed in unfamiliar clothing and acquired a cap lamp operated from a battery attached to my belt. The descent was made in a cage barely big enough for the seven men who occupied it. It went down so fast that I found myself in the station at the 900 ft. level before I knew what had happened. This station was large and well lighted. The rock walls had been painted a cheerful white and several benches stood along one wall.

So my progress was slow as I kept flashing my light alternately up and down, and as a result the shifter kept getting Then it occurred to me that the drifts had been cut to farther ahead of me. accommodate anybody walking in an upright position. I soon caught up to my shifter. We turned off to go along one of the many crosscuts. half mile along the cross cut my guide suddenly vanished; he a small opening in the side of the wall.

This big, manlike ape is covered with dark hair and walks erect. A man-eater, the humanoid is supposed to celebrate the capture of prey by a ceremonial dance.

Another subject of speculation is the curious Nandi Bear, which is blamed often for the killing of humans and domesticated animals in East Africa. Although scientific evaluation is lacking, native and white hunters alike say they have encountered the beast; and several descriptions of the bearlike creature agree on its shambling gait, shaggy hair, little ears and long snout. Zoologists long have maintained that remote regions may shelter outlandish beasts unknown to science or believed to be extinct.

Honest scholarship should have trained you to faring to bear on all situations in life impartiality, integrity, moral courage and perspective. Your many interests and activities should have given to you an appreciation of values and a desire for gracious living. The world sorely needs these qualities and gifts. I all. You — to your As you leave the Institute, you assume a twofold responsibility parents and to the Institute. The years will tell whether you are worthy of the sacrifices that have been made for you by your parents and those interested in your career. You are a representative of the Lakehead Technical Institute; the reputation which you establish may well determine the reception given future graduates by potential employers, or other centres otf learning. Some of you are graduating into the world of industry; others are hesitating before continuing up the steps leading to a university degree. For the first, the preparation is over and there now comes the test otf its adequacy. For the second group, the initial hurdle has been surmounted, but further obstacles lie ahead. The public is little impressed with anyone because he is a graduate of a particular institution, or a member of this or that association. It rates him according to his own merits and ambitions. In very truth the future rests in his own hands. We of the staff shall watch your progress and development With keen interest, hoping always that you will remember that a formal education is comparable to a bunch of keys, of value only as it is used to unlock the doors to opportunities and satisfaction in life.

This question has been asked many times during the last three years. It is our hope that this Year Book, the second published by the students of L.T.I., will adequately answer this question and will also help to create the public interest which is necessary for the successful growth of a young school. What does completed the future hold for the Lakehead Technical Institute? Plans have been to convert the Institute into a recognized junior university which will be known in a as the Lakehead College of Arts and Sciences. This new school will be housed modern building and situated on property close to both Lakehead cities. The social activities of our school year have been both pleasant and memorable and have been made successful by the enthusiastic participation of the students and instructors; and for this, our deepest thanks. We would also like to express our thanks to Dr. Bartley and to Mr. Braun, whose advice and guidance has greatly contributed to the success of our Students' Administrative Council. In a small school such as ours, neither the social events nor the athletic activities can be successful without the assistance of each individual student. It is this school spirit and enthusiastic support of all the students which has made this year at the Lakehead Technical Institute one which we will long cherish and remember. The administration of our Students' Council is a good example of that same representative government which is the greatest attribute of our democratic way of life. May our school continue to thrive and expand with that constant public interest and support, which is the strength of the democracy in which we live.

When the Year Book staff was assembled last fall, we were a group with little editorial experience behind us, and a great deal of work before us. We could not have accomplished our task alone. On behalf of the Year Book staff, I would like to thank Eric Newman, who spent so much of his time at the school dances taking pictures for the Year Book; Miss Pouncy who made such an excellent job of the students' portraits; Mr. Ross for his guidance and advice; and all the business men who, by their interest and advertisements, have made the publication of this 1951 Year Book possible. We have realized our goal, and feel sure that another tradition has become established at the Lakehead Tehnical Institute. The Lakehead Technical Institute has much to offer the people of Northwestern Ontario. Before the Institute was opened, local high school graduates wishing to continue their education had to travel almost a thousand miles to the nearest university in Ontario. Although the economy of this region is largely founded on the mining and forestry industries, there was no school anywhere in Northwestern Ontario where young men could be trained for these industries. Now, graduates from the two-year technical courses in Mining and Forestry at the Lakehead Technical Institute can successfully compete with older men who have spent years learning "on the job" in woods or mines. The demand for technical course graduates far exceeds the supply. In the University Division at the Institute, first-year courses in Arts. Applied Science, Commerce and Forestry are offered. Graduates from these courses must complete their work for a degree at another university. Our former students have established a commendable record of success in their university work. The instructors at the Institute are able to give individual attention to each student, and help him to bridge successfully the wide gap between high school and university work. Public School teachers wishing to obtain credits for their Permanent Teachers" Certificates are also accommodated in the Arts classes. made for the expansion of the Lakehead Technical Institute into The founding of this Junior College will depend on the interest and support shown by the people in the area served by the Lakehead Technical Institute. We hope that this Year Book will show to those interested the work carried on by our Plans have been a Junior College. school, as well as provide the Class of 1951 with a cherished chronicle of their year at Lakehead Technical Institute.

SIBLEY'S SECRET the island, which we now call Isle Roy ale, lived a tribe of O jib waywho had grown into the favour of the great god Kitci Manitou. Kitci Manitou alone knew of a silver mine on a small island in the middle of On Indians Thunder Bay, and he, anxious to see tell the Ojibways about the mine. his favourite tribe prosper, decided to Before he divulged the secret to the Indians, however, he made them promise never to tell the white-men; for if they did, he, Kitci Manitou would be turned to stone. The chief of the Ojibways, Nanna Bijou, took an oath that he and his followers could safely be entrusted with the great secret. Kitci Manitou, thereupon, called Nanna Bijou up to the highest point on Mount McKay and pointed out to him the precious island, far out on the shining blue of the great inland sea, Kitci Garni. The mine was rich with silver and soon the Ojibways became famous for their beautiful silver ornaments. The Sioux warriors became very jealous of the Ojibways and they determined to wrest the secret from them. They captured several of the O jib way braves and tried to force them by torture to give up their secret but the Ojibways were a brave and reliable tribe and they preferred death rather than giving in to their hated enemies or betraying Kitci Manitou. 10 �— LAKEHEAD TECHNICAL INSTITUTE YEAR BOOK SIBLEY'S SECRET Continued When the Sioux saw that physical force could not break down the resistance of the Ojibways, they planned to send their scout, Dark Sky, into the Ojibway camp, dressed as an Ojibway brave. Dark Sky, a crafty Indian, soon learned the location of the mine. immediately went to it to get some samples of the silver to give to prove that he had completed his mission. He to his chief some distance from his home camp when the wings and enshrouded the world in darkness. Because the night was so dark and there was no moon, Dark Sky decided to spend the night in the woods. He made camp on the shore of Kitci Garni where he lit a small fire to ward off any lurking evil spirits. The fire had only been going a short time when two white-men entered Dark Sky's camp in the hope of finding one of their friends. They exchanged greetings with Dark Sky and, disappointed, were about to move on to make camp for The Sioux scout was still Spirit of the Night spread out his themselves when one of the traders noticed a piece of silver sparkling in the The one trader whispered to the other of his discovery and they agreed on a plan to find out where the silver came from. firelight. Dark Sky was given a generous amount of firewater that night and in the morning he was easily persuaded to show the traders the way to the mine. They set off, Dark Sky paddling his own canoe, and the two white-men sharing one. The Sun-god, Gisis, slowly followed his heavenly path toward the pine 1 behind which he would come to rest. The lake was calm if it were going to be a pleasant as well as a profitable trip. But, just as they came in sight of the island where the silver was, a storm broke with all the fury of a madman. The wind lashed the water into huge waves capped with froth. The sky became dark, and the God clad western and of it hills, seemed to the traders as Thunder spoke in a terrible voice and large forks of lightning were driven into the lake. The trader's canoe was soon overturned by one of the angry waves. Its frightened occupants perished in the icy lake. Dark Sky fared better than his followers.

Above the small shoulders sat a head at a very jaunty angle. The face was large-boned and angular. All the bones sloped sharply upward and back. The ears were large and they also slanted back. Over his face bones was stretched, none too generously, a coarse, ruddy skin. The forehead was obscured by a veil of straight, sandy hair surmounted by tufts of the same standing at attention across the top of his head. At the sound of his name two gray-green eyes came out of their hiding place and began to shine.

Every morning he would stamp his way to my desk with his galoshes (or someone else's) on the wrong feet, his trouser buttons undone, and a yard of scarf trailing behind him. His apparel was baggy at the knees and saggy at the coat pockets. A perennial drop hung from his nose. He would dig deep in his pockets to unearth a key, four or five beebees, some gum wrappers, and lastly, for me, a life-saver discolored with pocket dust and recognizable only by its hole.

In order to have the Institute established, a temporary (building was erected in be used until such time as enrolment justified larger, permanent buildings. The present quarters have been enlarged once and do not lend themselves to further expansion. 1948, to However, permanent buildings with facilities for sports and other extracurricular activities as well as classroom and administration quarters cannot be planned until the finances necessary for construction are available. substantial portion of the cost of these new buildings must come from local contributions. The Advisory Board of the Institute is at present arranging for the necessary funds. A A site comprising some eighty acres, located between the two cities of Port Arthur and Fort William, has been chosen as the location of the new school. The building committee of the Advisory Board is hopeful that, when building conditions become more stable, it will be able to erect permanent buildings which Will be both attractive to the student body and a credit to the Lakehead cities.

CURLING Curling took the place of bowling this year at the Institute. The manageof the Port Arthur Curling Club generously allowed us the use of their new rink every Wednesday from four p.m. to six p.m. Six experienced curlers skipped our rinks. Twenty-four students participated in the sport. The rinks played each other six times. By a slow process of elimination, Jim Delaney's rink emerged the winner. The winning rink will play an all-star staff rink in a game which should prove to be the highlight of the season. ment We curled an interesting game with Port Arthur's representative to the Northwestern Ontario bonspiel. Our rink consisted of skips Ted Hansen, Jim Delaney, Bill Watt and Doug Raine. At the end of the actual curling time, our rink was ahead by one point; then the curlers decided to play another end, finishing, this time, with a tie. The last rock, thrown by the opposition's skip, put our rivals ahead. The final score was 9-8. Curling should expand next year, if this year's enthusiasm RINKS Skip: Jim Delaney Skip: H. Hyla E. J.

The data collected will be computed in the winter months. This phase of the curriculum has proved to be very important because it provides actual experience in the field and acquaints the new students with the forest. SCALING COURSE On September the second year Forestry students left Port Arthur to take a scaling course at Long Lac. 20, They arrived at Camp 40 and proceeded to make themselves at home with more than sixty other men who were taking the ten-day course. These men were from the Department of Lands and Forests, forestry divisions such as Port Arthur and Geraldton, and various paper companies.

FORESTRY CAMP On the nippy Fall morning of October the eighth with a bewhiskered old cook, pots, pans, axes, beds and food supplies, the second year foresters, accompanied by Mr. C. J. Campbell, headed for their newly acquired camp. They worked furiously for the first week to repair the camp for the incoming cruising school, cutting wood, building shelves, tar-papering, washing floors, making saw horses and repairing meat houses. During the second week, the first year students arrived with Mr. P. Pollock. We were divided into parties with the second year boys as compassmen. Each party was outfitted with axes, abbneys, compasses, chains, calipers and tally-sheets. We started out on the strips at half past seven in the morning, ran approximately two miles of line, and returned. We spent the first part of each evening laying out the next day's lines and the remainder playing cards, singing or just "kibitzing" about. Evening highlights were solo singing performances by Beach, Storey and Foss. At the conclusion of the second week, the first year students returned to the city. The second year troupers stayed another week to cut pulp wood to defray the cost of operating the camp. By this time the boys were rapidly becoming ''bushed" and radical suggestions flew high. Zuggy wanted female cookies. The cook was thirsty and complained of the holes in the kitchen roof. Willie maintained there was a skunk under his bed, and Mud said that the odour of Yuletide's socks thickened the atmosphere about his bunk; but despite these minor grievances the boys dug in and cut their quota of thirtyfive cords of poplar on time. The wood was hauled to Red Rock by truck, where it was sold to the Brompton Paper Company. On the last day of the month, they packed the equipment and proceeded to Port Arthur, thus concluding the opening term of the Lakehead Technical Institute's Forestry Camp. 38 �"Eager beavers' Cruising �LAKEHEAD TECHNICAL INSTITUTE FIELD TR I PS YEAR BOOK Continued UTILIZATION TRIP WEST OF LAKEHEAD Monday, November 6th, the second year Forestry class took Horace Greely's advice and left Port Arthur for points west to observe camp construction, cut layout and anything else pertaining to Forestry.

Wednesday night we left for Sioux Lookout and there changed trains for Red Lake Road. We arrived at Red Lake Road Station at four a.m. and there boarded a "Mando" or Ontario-Minnesota Pulp and Paper Company Limited bus. Thursday and part of Friday were spent driving over "Mando" limits and viewing their operations. We were then driven to Vermilion Bay where we boarded our cars and began our drive to Dryden. Our drivers on the sixty mile trip were two employees of the Dryden Paper Company. On Saturday were shown the Dryden Mill and taken out to some of the Dryden camps. The class is deeply indebted to Mr. Campbell and everyone else who helped to make our trip so successful and so enjoyable. Special thanks go to all the cooks who provided us with an abundance of good things to eat. SECOND YEAR FORESTRY CLASS MAKES SECOND UTILIZATION TRIP Sunday, February 18, at eleven o'clock in the evening six second-year foresters departed for the East to observe the hauling operations of the Newaygo Timber Company. Marathon (Paper Company, and Long Lac Paper Company. Our first stop was Franz, a junction of the Algoma Central and Hudson Bay Railway with the Canadian Pacific Railway. Shortly after lunch we boarded a train for Mead. Newaygo's depot caimp. At one of the back camps, Willy Storey took the fellows for a sleigh ride, after Julian Pristansky Showed us how to harness a team. On Wednesday morning we boarded a train which took us to Oba, the junction of the A.C. and H.B.R. with the C.N.R. We waited for six hours, had lunch, then travelled via C.N.R. to Stevens, one of Marathon's depot camps. Here we saw some of Marathon's mechanical logging. On Friday morning we rode six miles south of Stevens to a waiting plane which flew us to Carumet, another depot camp, where we watched more hauling operations. Mr. Pollock, who accompanied us on the trip, was given the two fifteen-foot pieces of halfinch cable which we saw being spliced. Leaving Carumet, we arrived in Long Lac at eight o'clock Friday night. Here we visited two camps and saw several stages of hauling operations at the Long Lac Paper Company. On Saturday night we returned to Port Arthur. We had enjoyed a week of good food, good fun and an all-round educational trip. EXCURSIONS OF THE SECOND YEAR MINING CLASS During the week of October 2 to 7, the second-year Mining students made a trip to attend the annual meeting of District 4, Canadian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy, and also to visit the mines in that area. to Red Lake The first part of the week was spent in touring the various mines: Starratt Olsen. Madsen Red Lake, Campbell Red Lake, Cochenour Willans and Hasaga. The purpose of these visits was to learn the type of ore on each property and the methods and equipment used in the extraction of these ores. The mills and engineering offices were visited to gain a better appreciation of their operation. The students attended the convention and other functions during the latter part of the week. From January Port Arthur. milling the On the 24 to 26 another excursion was made, this time to the mines east of a better understanding of the problems of different types of gold ores.

Because we do not have a nine o'clock lecture every morning, because we do not spend every .afternoon in a laboratory, they tell us we have a "snap course," and that there is no practical value in the study of Arts. We choose to ignore the remarks of these Philistines, but would like to point out the part played by the Faculty of Arts at L.T.I, this year. The president, vice-president and secretary of the S.A.C. were all Arts students; six members of the Year Book editorial staff were from Arts; the coach and manager of the hockey team were from Arts; the captain of the rugby team was also an Arts student and our faculty was well represented on all the school teams as well as on the Mens' Athletic Society. If anyone is still unwilling to admit the superior intelligence and versatility of the Arts students, let him be escorted to the "Coffeeteria" (operated by Salo and Dubinsky, from Arts' of course) and let him be forced to drink seven cups of that boiled brew which they call coffee.

HEAD In a hastily arranged Association meeting two resolutions regarding the Administration's actions were drafted & passed unanimously. The resolutions read as follows: "THIS ASSOCIATION VEPLORES ANV WILL NOT ACCEPT ANY REORGANIZATION OF ITS SECRETARIAL STAFF WITHOUT FACULTY CONSULTATION ANV APPROVAL." and "THIS ASSOCIATION, MINVFUL OF THE RESPONSIBILITIES WHICH THE UNIVERSITY HAS TO THE COMMUNITY, ANV OF THE VESIRtABILITY THAT THE UNIVERSITY SHOULV ~FT AM EXAMPLE TO THE Vol vs. COAl«INITY, ESPECIALLY IN ACCEPTANCE Of THE PRINCIPLES Of FREE SPEECH ANO FREE ASSOCIATION, WELCOMES THE ESTABLISHMENT Of A. UNION LOCAL ON CAMPUS 8 IT VIEWS WITH CONCERN THE PRESENT INORVINATE VELAY IN NEGOTIATIONS WITH THE AVMINISTRATION." At the time of the move, only secretaries in the Faculty of Science were affected & the Arts Secretaries have not received any orders towards reorganization. Dean Hart, the only official of the Administration on campus at the time, due to the absence of Dean Ryan, Dr. Braun and President Tamblyn, was not available for comment at press time. Regarding the general temperament of LAKE-HEAD tlfIVERSITY. Port Arthur FACULTY the Faculty Association meeting, one faculty member said, "I WAS Q.UITE PLEASEV TO SEE THE ASSOCIATION BECOME AS MILITANT AS IT VIV OVER THIS ACTION BY THE AVMINISTRATION, IT MARKS THE BEGINNING OF A NEW PHASE IN THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN AVMINISTRATION 8 FACULTY MEMBERS, WITH THE FACULTY VEMANVING A SAY IN THE AFFAIRS OF THE UNIVERSITY. " Speaking for the Executive, AMS Council President, Peter McCormack, said, "AS SUCH A CHANGE WOULV VIRECTLY AFFECT THE STUVENTS OF THE UNIVERSITY THE AMS COUNCIL IS THEREFORE OBLIGEV TO TAKE THE SIVE OF BEST INTEREST TO THE STUVENT. AT THIS POINT, IT WOULV APPEAR THAT OUR SUPPORT LIES VEFINITELY WITH THE SECRETARIES ANV FACULTY." After several recent meetings between representatives of the Faculty Association & the Administration, the conflict has not yet been altogether resolved with the Science Secretaries still in the secretarial pool & their positions of Departmental Secretaries temporarily re-established.

J PROPOSAL BACKFIRES The AMS Council, July 30th, in their.meeting of rejected the Administra- tions proposed plan to take over the Great Hall as a cafeteria for the 6869 session. The Council decided that the Senior Lounge could be used to house the additional cafeteria facilities while the present Faculty Lounge would be HOL!Sing §, Decembe~9[,I ~tje expected completion date for the 240 bed men's residence at Lakehead University. In this connection, Mr. David Morgan, Lakehead University Director of Finance, announced a scheme to find suitable housing off-campus for these students until the residence complex is ready. The administration, through Mr. Morgan, has approached the Faculty Wives' Association to organize a campaign aimed at Faculty and Administration staff in the hopes that some of these students can find adequate acconnnodations with them. In addition, all parents of local students will be contacted and asked if they could poss_ibly house a• student until Christmas. If these two groups cannot acconnnodate all the students, then an· appeal will be made to the Lakehead Service Clubs. The present appeal being made for additional housing is independent of the Student Housing Bureau as accommodations for these students are only required until the Christmas break. changed to a Student-Faculty Lounge. In a meeting the following week, re- presentatives of the Council & Calude Smith, Director of Planning and Plant Operations, came to an agreement over the dispute. It was decided that a trail period of one month would be allotted to the sch.eme. and, if after that time, the students were·still dissatisfied, the facilities would be removed. When speaking about the change, Mr. Smith said: "The decision wasn't made lightly. Every aspect of the university is going to be jeopardi~ed by the lack of facilities." He went on to say that the cafeteria would be ... the hardest hit. Increased enrollment and construction delays have apparently caused a lack of space for many planned facilities o~ campus. But when asked if the cafeteria problem was related to the recent construction strikes, Mr. Smith said, "It was never planned that the extention to the University Centre housing a 700 seat cafeteria and 400 seat dining room, would be completed for this school·-year." He also stated that even if the strikes hadn't occurred, the new residence halls wouldn't have been completed for September as scheduled. The main area of contention ~ith the Students was the fact that they were not consulted by the Administration, when the plan was decided upon. Dennis Wallace, AMS Director of Finance, said, "It would seem that the University Administration considers itself sole judge in all matters surrounding the University and neither Faculty or Students are consulted when any chang._es are being made." Tom McLeod, 23 and Arts lV student Lakehead University, died suddenly Monday, August 19. At the time his death, Tom was working as a management trainee for Simpson-Sears at the Intercity Plaza. Born in Halifax, Nova Scotia, son Mr. and Mrs. Fulton McLeod, Tom attended school in North Bay until the the family moved to the Lakehead in 1961. H~ was a graduate . of Fort William Collegiate Institute and then received his B.A. in History and English from Lakehead in 1967. He was working towards his Masters degree at t~e time of his death. Actively involved ~n student affairs during his four years here, Tom.was the Vice-President of the Arts Soc·eity 1966-67, and he received the President's Medal for his efforts in the Proctor Force the same year. His interest in photography lead him to work ·on both the Argus and the yearbook over the past years as well. _Perhaps best known for his work as the Chief Proctor over the past year, Tom was known and respected fair and friendly man by the stuc;lent body. He is survived by his wife Joanna and son Robert F., age one,• at home; his parents Mr. and Mrs. Fulton McLeod and sister Anne, of 512 Brown St., Fort William; uncles, aunts, and other relatives. The deepest sympathy of all students, faculty and staff members of the University goes to the bereaved family at this difficult time. Tom was-a fine man; was our friend we shall miss him. �SEATS ON COUNCIL: U of T ' The University of Toronto has offered the Students Administrative Council seats on the President's Council as part of a new policy to involve students in university government. The offer was made during a private meeting between U of T President Claude Bissell and student leaders in mid July and is being considered by student leaders. The Administration source said (Aug. 6) no mention was made in the offer of how many seats students would occupy, or whether the body would begin meeting publicly instead of in closed session. Students elected to the SAC will meet this weekend to discuss policy for next year, and SAC Education Commissioner Andrew Wernick said he expects the council seats to be a major issue. Student President Steven Langdon fav- ours accepting the seats because they will provide a platform for student views, but Mr Wernick calls the offer "a policy of divide & conquer because the council won't have any power as long as the Board of Governors exists and ·tnakes the real decisions." "We would just waste our time and help foster the illusion that the President's Council really decides things." series of public meetings this fall; the deadline for submissions is Nov. 30. Professor D.F. Forster,. executive assistant to President Bissell, said the committee of ten was formed three months ago to review and redefine the proper limits of the university jurisdiction and to advise the president on whether the existing machinery is adequate. Mr. Langdon said he would favour ac~ cepting the seats "if council stops meeting in secret and if we can get equal representation with the faculty. But I agree with Mr. Wernick that the council is really irrelevant; it's not in a position to change the university." Discipline at the university is controlled by CAPUT, which Prof. Forster said has long been recognized as inadequate, and which Dr. Bissell has called "calcified". The Caput includes the university president, the provost,heads of constituent colleges and federated universities, deans of faculties & the warden of Hart House. The provincial University Act empowers Caput to expel, suspend, impose fines or recommend the withholding of _ degrees, diplomas & academic standing The University also yesterday invited students & the public to submit written briefs to an advisory committee that is reviewing disciplinary procedures. The briefs will be heard at a a sac for lu I Realizing the fact that the average Lakehead University student has no balls, a group of individuals should form a Student Apathy Club (S.A.C.). Although the club would have the largest membership on campus (90% of the student body), it would probably be disbanded when any member had the audacity to show up for a meeting. Such a move would constitute subversion. When peop 1e ge t int eres t e di n something they lose a number of their basic freedoms; freedom not to participate, freedom not to speak, freedom not to get involved. How can one with one o America's finer corporations, such as C.I.L. or Dow Chemical. Think of the wonderful things the apathetic reap. survive in our society if one attends meetings which provoke thought? Apathy is a virtue.

REVOLUTIONARY COMMUNE Within universities, change can occur at many levels. One of the important places is the classroom. Students, both radical and straight, come to the university in the fall, and after some agony and deliberation, register. They find themselves in classes where they have little say in policy decisions. After a few attempts to change the class, individuals sink in to apathy and perform more or less as they are expecte~ to. There is a method by which students can break this pattern. Before registration, students of a radical persuation should get together and, after consideration of variables, which only they can determine, the group should all register for the same course. Now during the first few weeks of the course they will be in a position to have their proposals considered. There will be side benefits from this arrangement as well. Less books will have to be purchased. Study partners will be more readily available. Rides to class may be more easily obtained. One of the important things to remember when following this course of action is that group members must work together. They must not get sucked into the individualist competition • come to an understanding of this principle. If they are unable to do this they will have an indication, for themselves, that they are playing • games, not working for serious change within the university. t......aCl.lverst I • off-campus hou.sin~ b«.,\r-e0..u. r~'-lires a..cc.om~oc(a..fior,s · fo~ -th i£ -(u(l. •· uraentl mt nrrritsttngs fnr: ~- NOMINATIONS ARE INVITED FOR THE FOLLOWING AMS POSITIONS: TO BE ELECTEV: • ~tpcvi}tii» Glit10>e • 'tfJCJ~8<J0 0 ~ee•e • Cleera• f3ae"'4 'PHoNf 3't·S-212 f Err• ·271 .. 0 3'1'1· JYl2 APPOINTMENTS: 1.&t Ye.aJl.

An offhand remark (sns will counsel those who cannot bring themselves to serve in the armed forces), probably made with •little more seriousness any of the multitude of declar s statements resolutions any g;oup is prob;bl to make, led to page headlines, first in Chicago n across the country -- LEFTI TS !DING DRAFT DODGERS!

The structure o both nationally and locally, wa oose that all manner of cells, orientations, issues were characteristic of the group (later, there were even hippie chapters). It remained, though, principally a student group and , the major issues were resistance to the Vietnam War and the student movement orr campus -Berkeley, Chicago, Columbia. "Socialism" and such is largely irrelevant to SDS, though it speaks of revolution and the new society. Participatory democracy is both the principal aim and the principal tactic of the group. 0rganization is valued --- attempts were made to organize welfare recipients (Chicago) -- Blacks (Newark) -Appalachians (Chica90) -- migratory workers (California} -- students (everywhere). Except for the student most of the efforts were futile. It is on the campuses that SDS has its greatest relevance and·its greatest success. SDS has probably passed its peak as of this date, though it is still quit viable. Faction fighting has begun to appear at its conventions and perhaps SDS will repeat the YPSL demise. As for the "New Left" in general, it is hard to say where it is going. Young disaffil.iates who, three years ago, would have been involved in SDS are now smoking grass and listening to Acid Rock. Their confrontation with the establishment is on a personal level -- they seem even less "political" than SDS. ------------------------------------11 11 Chicago: 1968 "The Commune", a famous tenement on Woodlawn, adjoins the Black ghetto on one side and the University of Chicago on the other.

SHOWN INSTIGATED BY COMMIES reprinted from the Fort William Times_-Joumal AS STUDENTS OF UNIVERSITY AFTER university in the United States joined in the wave 0 ~ u~rest, ~~monstrations and rioting during the first half of this year, the uproar bore all the appearances of a spontaneous rebellion against things the way they are. As a result, a great deal of soul-searching has been going on thr~ugh~ut the nation. Educators, ed1tor1al writers, the clergy, politicians and others felt constrained to examine the outbreak of dissatisfaction, to dissect it and discover the causes. But, what really started the trouble? It was revealed on saturday that a small group, organized as the Students for a Democratic Society, sparked the !ebellions in the various colleges. And one of the leaders in an interview said, "capitalism must go." He talked of his organization spreading offcampus and creating a class-conscious revolutionary socialist movement. So it's out. Those who guessed that the demonstrations and takeover of university properties were organized and encouraged by com- July 18, 1968 munists are proven right. In the field of higher education, the boring-in. tactics of the world communists were carried out with some success right in the heart of the largest free-enterprise country. A further guess may be made that the communist cell organizers received many an assist from a few sympathetic members of faculty staffs. A few years· ago, when Khruschev was in a belligerent mood he told the Americans that communists would bury them. Many of our neighbours laughed then at the very thought of the prediction. Yet in 1968, a small detachment of communists is able to operate a cell to disrupt seriously a key element of the American citizenry. More to the point, though, is that communist agitators found thousands of students in a receptive mood. They were able to play on their aversion to the fighting in East Asia, on existing radical dislikes, on unrest among the young created by an affluent society, and the modern day permissiveness among the young.

I think it's pard to overstate the importance of this. You go to school for all th~se years 12 - and then college and then graduate school and you're re denied the opportunity to make serious cp~ices. WATSON: What could the student be choosing? WATSON: Jerry, in your article you said that the student is a slave. What are the components of a student's slavery? FARBER: Take my department - English. Our curriculum spells out in small detail what the student takes. We require so ·many number units for the English major, and we tell them what to take, course by course. Even the electives have to be approved by a departmental advisor. When the student enters my college he has to take what we call 'general educational requirements'. They are somebody's idea of what a well rounded person is. He does that. Nobody asks him: - Vo you. wa.n:t to be well ILou.nded? Nobody says: Vo you. wa.n:t .to be a. lop.61..ded mu,.lca.l gen-i..tu,? Vo IJOU wa.n:t to .ta.ke 1so_u.n.ltli 06 Phy.6-i.ch? Vo {/OU. ILea.Uy wa.n:t ""to .ta.ke M,i.c/r.o-lUology? They just assume that because they run him through these courses, he is . therefore going to 'be a modern western man. But I think he becomes a person who hates school, who doesn't see its relevance, who goes to classes because he's told to go to classes , who shuffles through with the slave demeanor playing the game, trying to get the degree. Most students at my school are very cynical and very open about this. They are aware that if they want to get an education they really have to scratch for it in school & probably they're going to get it outside school and that may be incompatible with their getting the degree. But they want what most people want, the degree, the problem is to put on Mr. Charlie, to put on the slave-master, to do what he tells you, tell him what he wants to hear, do his silly requirements, smile at him and get through, and then be on your own. But I think it is a delusion to assume that you can spend 16 years in school and then decide to be your own man. You've been wearing a mask all the time, you take it off and it won't come off. WATSON: You've done it. You've been -a student. Was J. Farber a nigger? FARBER: Sure, I believed in grades so badly if I got an instead of an A I lost sle~p over it. I went to UCLA and I was there to please my teachers. By the time I got into UCLA, I stopped caring too much. I spent most of my time on the student paper. But my slavish attitude resUIDed in graduate school when I really did prefer, for professional reasons, to please the people. WATSON: Are you still a nigger? FARBER: I'm a transitional figure. I've come out of one thing and I'm trying to start another. It's a very exciting position to be in, but it is also very awkward: you have to pay very, heavy dues when you make that transition. Imagine an age ·_ our age - where you're coming out of one sexual morality i.nto another. The people who are making the change have special problems, because they have to contend with what was put in their head by the old one & they're trying to create the new one. The kids FARBER: I think to approach that you have. to ask what it means for a.person to be a nigger rather than a Negro or a black person. To be a slave, or to be a nigger, means not only that you are exploited, that you've been treated unjustly, that you're being discriminated against, but that you accept it; you accept the role, you're willing to go along with it, you'll play the part. That's why the · student is not just oppressed or downtrodden, but has that slave mentality --- a sort of obliging, ingratiating surface & a kind of stubborn refusal to co-operate underneath. The student, as I see him, is put in a position where the main thing he learns is to follow orders, now, and I have my doubts about how much else he learns, particularly when you consider the time he spends in school. You don't learn that much for those 12 dreary years, but the one thing you do learn, as I can tell from my freshmen students at college, is to do what you're told. If I were to ask my students to do some silly thing, to go to the library and pick ten books off the shelf and write down the first word in each book and then write the words backwards or something, they'd do it -- I swear to God they'd to it. • But, i f I ask them to think, to care, then they run into trouble, because that's not what education has dealt with in their lives. WATSON: Now hold on a minute. The university students in the United States are perhaps 10% of the population and they have produced over the years a pretty enviable parcel of scholarships, scientific achievement, and exploration of all kinds. Are you telling me_ that these are people who have never learned how to think? FARBER: The universities of the United States have produced a great deal more. They have produced people, scientists for example, who have technical capacity in their area and no capacity whatsoever to insist on determining on how their work is used. They have produced people who are willing to work in their narrow area, who are very good at it, and who let it go at that. So it's true that the colleges can turn out a certain kind of proficiency but it's what they don't turn out that worries me. ' WATSON: What's missing? FARBER: What's missing is the ability and the desire to be a free man and that has serious effects on our national politics. There's a great tendency in this country to assume that it's all happening somewhere else politically and that you and I and other people do not have very much to do with it. The people up there have access to the computers and the inside information and they know so the. relationshi of the citizen to politics is that of a spe~- FREEDOMS AT chat hennah Initially, "The Un.lveJUi.lty ILe..6 ell.VU .the Jilght to 1te6U6e a.cJml6i,.lon :t.o a.ny c.a.nc:Uda.te, a.nd :t.o 1te6U6e ILe-a.dmi...6.6.lon .l6 a. i,tu.den.:t' -6 a.cad.em.le p,eJL6011ma.nc.e 06 geneJLa.l c.ondu.c.t htv.. been u.n.6~6a.c.to1ty." (Lakehead University Calendar, 1968-69, p.49). This reference to "general conduct" has, for some time, been of great interest to me. However, no matter who I ask, or how many p_e ople I ask, no one really appears to know exactly what it means. Very interesting. For some strange reason, I always assumed that a university was a "community of men and women who have come together to pursue and to disseminate knowledge". (Ibid. p. 257.) Whether or not the "traditional privileges of a university are freedom of inquiry & freedom of expression" (Ibid. p. 257) can only be placed in the realm of the ideological for the time being, when, as a good friend and graduate of this university, asks: "Wha.t ca.n you. ex.pec.t 61Lom a. .6y-6.tem wfuc.h cllcta.tu JUttheJL .tha.n edu.c.a,tu s WOIL6h.lp6 .&u.c.cui, a.t .the ex.pe;u,e 06 peJUiona.l develo pnen.t?" Exactly what is meant by that quotation regarding freedoms etc.? Are the people who wrote the calendar in the same category as some at Trent University in Peterborough, who, refused re-admission to a candidate because of his "leftist activities". Is this the great academic freedom they speak of? Is the real meaning "Vo wha.t you. L-00.nt heJte .ln u.n.lveJUi.lty, bu.t, do .lt OWl. WQ.lj • " This situation does not exist merely for students either. 'The faculty can testify to the lack of freedom in their teaching methods, and in their extra-faculty activities. What is the a purpose of this university? Is it the production of pr9grammed stereotypes that it appears to be, or is it a place where people can congregate, in the real spirit of inquiry, to learn freely and, unencumbered by out-dated archaic concepts, evolve into socially aware, thinking individuals? And I emphasize individuals. "University life has its privileges and responsibilities" - to what? To whom? And most important, why? It appears as if the "University" itself is greater than the people in it. The institution is the God. Fear the great God and you shall be delivered. I wondered if these responsibilities include my personal responsibility to say "No!" to the system when it is strangling me by means of an insane prerequisite which I do not have to a course that I feel I would really enjoy taking?

That's the way I see myself: I am trying to work towards freedom in education, but I didn't have it. WATSON: How much freedom does a student have to have? Are you suggesting that anyone should be able to walk into a college and look ,around and say: "Well, U'-6 pJtetty ni.c.e heJr.e, I'll maybe . -6:t.udy · a. .u..t,;U.e modeJLn da.nc.e and i,pend a. .u..t,;U.e time l..n the c.heml-6.tlr.y £.ab., 01t maybe I won't?" FARBER: Why not? Just ask yourself that. Keep asking why over and over again. Why not? WATSON: First of all, a whole lot of people are putting a whole bundle of money to operate these universities on the premise that something is going to happen to the student when he gets there. FARBER: Now you are getting down to the crux of it. Who pays the money? Who benefits from colleges? For ~hom are they operated? WATSON: Now you are going to tell me that the reason the student is a slave is that he's being bought-is th~t it? FARBER: I think it is true that society expects that in return for its money something is going to be done to the student. WATSON: Something is going to be done to the student? FARBER: Done to the student. Right. I'm using that formulation intentionally. We want them to grow up like us & school is one of the ways we do it. School is the way we cut them out with a cookie-cutter in the same shape we're in. But this is not necessarily the best thing from the student's point of view. Granted if you want to reproduce your society, if you.could, what you are talking about might be a good thing to d·o . But if what you want to do is provide an opportunity where someone can learn - I mean really learn, not be trained, not be programmed, but learn-then it is not a good idea. What would be a good idea would be precisely what you said: that the kid walks into school and takes what he wants to take. WATSON: But supposing he doesn't want to take anything. I don't know how well disciplined you are, but I know how lazy I am. I think my inclination would be to walk into the school and just get to know as many girls as I could. FARBER: I think they have messed up your head. And I'll tell you why. You remind me of the black person who reaIly believes he needs slavery and is uncomfortable about_ frying to do without it. He's afraid of being free. We grow up thinking: "16 they don't hold tho-6e gJta.du ove;r. my head and i6 they don't c.oeJLc.e me, I won't get a.ny.thlng done bec.au6 e I am la.z y. " We mistake our slavish truculence, our slavish sluggishness for our real selves. Naturally you're lazy when you are doing Mr. Charlie's wor~. I've never been lazy doing my own work. I find as a teacher I am tremendously ener- ucated"; then the Faculty is here to teach us what they already know, and (of course, this is all hypothetical) then, the administration is here to make sure that we have a place to meet with our professors, to insure that we have rest-rooms to go to when we feel compelled, and to keep our records in safe--keeping for us. As is the case though, the administration is here to make things run smoothly, to make sure that there ar~ enough people here so that the Govt Grants will come through, to decide on regulations to keep us in line and finally, to decide what we should take, what we should think & when we should think it. It's like when I was a kid, and my parents told me that the policeman was my friend, he would take me home if I was lost, and then the bubble broke when I saw the policeman, my friend remember, beating the shit out of peaceful demonstrators; spraying getic. I will stay up night and day doing something that matters, solely because I want to. Nobody will know the difference. I won't get into trouble for not having done it. I remember once I wanted to go in and talk about French history. I did not know much about it. I read endless books on French history just for one class. It was not really a good class because I had too much information. I dumped it all on them. The point is, I really worked because it was my work - I had the very best kind of reason - my reason. WATSON: Let's talk about solutions. You talk about pushing down the walls and letting a little air in, letting education into the street and the street into school. Do the solutions have to be violent solutions? FARBER: I'm non-violent. I don't believe you should hurt ~nyone, any time, for any reason. Sudden, yes. Absolutely radical. Let me go back to my metaphor of black people & the civil rights movement. We've been asking for sudden solutions & ev1:rybody always sa~s: "We.ll, yu we' Jte gol..ng .to do -6ome_.th,lng, but thue thlng-6 all.en' .t done oveJLnigh.t~ If you let them go at their pace, they will never be done. It's only with this insistent pressure, with this impatience which is characteristic of kids in college now, that any change is happening. I don't think it's inunature or romantic to ask for change now. It may be immature to expect I am going to have it tomor~ow morning. But would I change it if I coul~, would I wish it could be changed by tomorrow morning? Of course because I think it's a plague --- I think what passes for education now is really a plague. I think its very dangerous. As a matter of fact, I think it's killing ,people. It's killing p·eople in other countries by what kind of citizens it is turning out in this country and the way in which they participate in the country's decisions & politics. I thi»k it can change. A great many. people are unhappy with education as it stands now. It's a question of realizing the power you've got. ' If students could ever realize the power they've got, they could change things very ,quickly. They came very close to it at Berkeley , they just didn't ask for enough. They &ot what they asked, but at the time they weren't wise enough to ask for what they should have asked for. They asked for a voice in what happens on campus. I don't see that there are curriculum planners so wise that the students couldn't do just as well. Whatever the students decided would be right because they decided it. Just as what you choose to read, that's the right thing to read because you want to read it, and what someone forces you to read - I'm not saying recommends - what someone forces you to read· is not going to be the right thing.

And what about the course in which the professor's personal political views appear, be they reactionary or revolutionary, and they happen to be opposite my own? What do I do then? Do I chuck my own views out the window for the sake of a lousy course credit, or do I write what I deem to be true? It all depends on what you want out of Lakehead University. If you seek the paper after three years, then you have to prostitute yourself in order to get what you're after. On the other hand you can tell the whole establishment to go straight to hell take off and get what you want where. This, as a matter of fact, is one of the prime arguments of a particular official here at Lakehead. But what end .does that serve. Why not attempt to reform this University? This is a young place, and change can come easier here than many other universities across the country. Some of us believe that it is worth the ·concerted effort to try it. ."

(Ibid. p. 286.). As a show of support, let·' s award this to the person who burns down the old Lakehead University and ·builds the new one. That, I believe is truly " contributing most· to the welfare of the University" and to the people who will come here in the future. �co My hubby Ray & I spend long times in supermarkets. We like to dream about 0 ('I) the . different ingredient·s we have · Inever used and the novel ways to use V) ::, the ingredients we have used.

Ray at his office, and appre LL. had also called several other people ~ around the L.a kehead. We knew it was the same voice because it was yelling the same things. It was mad because a cha~acter in a short story Ray had written used a word it considered evil. And to show how made it was it screeched ( as it had on the phone) that Ray deserved a ass and was a bast ued in this cliche names. 1.0 > 1-- -a: C, w Quite frankly, we do about this loud hars voice which persisted in following us around. 1-- z - a: :::, 0 > C, z -a. w w ~ z 0 Since we were stuck with it, we looked at its owner & tried to understand this rather unusual phenomenon. So we looked carefully at her looking at us. And as we looked we were astonished at what we saw. She was beyond all doubt a human being just like us. She was also a frustrated woman living in a hellish world without any love. She was seething with a veom of frustra tion and we · saw in her a woma~ who had, no doubt, never been loved, not by parents, nor husband or children. Within her, we felt a lynching mob, the Ku Klux Klan, a zealous witchburner, a John Bircher and a hot-line addict. But what we saw was just another misdirected life. For this poor woman, with all her frustrated energy, even if she succeeded in burning Ray and a thousand others, would never find one minute of peace and happiness. Moreover because she would not look within herself for her solutions, but thought she saw solutions in attacking a person who was entirely a stranger to her, she would never change and so she was doomed in her hell, and she would never know why. Though it may sound like we hated her this woman seemed so victimized and helpless that we felt compassion for her. And I smiled at her and told herthat she was cute and that she was filled with too much hate, and though I thought these words would inflame her ange!, she immediately abandoned us, leaving us once again to our dreams which were no longer on food. She brought another memory to my mind and I remembered the Be-In held a month ago in Waverley Park. And I remembered a policeman climbing up on the platform to tell the kids to turn the music down as it bothered the patients in the hospital. The policeman's request seemed to be understandable, as the music was very loud and the hospital was nearby as people in ls are times dyTh 0 y forward hoping he would make the move that would give them the excuse to pounce. And sure enough, befort:: the concert was over, up jumped a young revolutionary who reminded the audience that they had been hassled. Hassled, Hassled, Hassled, Hassled. All of this reminds me of the stu- dents who say that they want to overthrow the University as it now stands students who want, to burn down buildings, write all over the walls, decapitate the administration, strip their teachers of their false dignity and false sense of superiority. Their feelings are certainly understand especially~ education...... ot to chew gum, smoke or mention sex and religion, to read censored Shakespeare and other writers, to suppress all feelings and emotions and at many schools, they were not even allowed into the library, cafeteria or washe ified periods ng continues one schools than in the States and most other provinces in Canada. And there is no doubt about it, hold a person down for eight years in public school and five years in high school, and if he survives without turning into a wall h ets a bit h sity giv s will at rror of be able to create a vision of how things ought to be. Unfortunately, this vision is often accompanied by a desire for vegeance which leads the student to want power over that which has held him down. FJta.nny a.nd hell hubby' This is where the ~tudent loses the real lesson he should have learned from his suffering. Venom breeds venom. Cut off some-• one's head even in the name of the greatest ideal whether it be Christianity, Democracy, Communism or Freedom and your . ideal turns into another French Revolution with you the guillotiner mocked b~ the wretched heads which resemble your own heads which you have cut off.

Besides, in such an action the rebel implie& that inherent in him is something superior to what is inherent -in - them, which is obviously a false assumption. Real freedom means freedom for all who look at their eyes closed. to be free we cannot anyone else, not Capinot Communist, not str, not hippies, and if you really have an idea you won't have to. It is much more difficult to make an old University or any other well established institution change than it is to start a vital, new University. Can you blame people in our educational ck imagination? ination if they ted and stifled d meaningless ood? No, your are unfortunate victims o a soul crushing system. Sometimes the dull, strict teacher is just a man unfamiliar with any other methods of relating to students than those that were applied to him, and then again, when we do something for many years, it is almost impossible to re-arrange the wrinkles of habit. No, leave them be. Start your own Universities if it is University you want. Enough of saying my theory is better than your fact. There are not nearly enough free schools in ~xistence. Start your own schools. Hire your own staff, be your own Administration, in time you will have all the imaginative people who feel out of place in the present day educational system. The present institution and the new University can exist side by side -- the first, preparing people tor office jobs and the world of business, the other, for the vast world of originality and creativity. It could work out like the Ontario College of Art in Toronto which gives degrees and produces connnercial artists and designers for industry and The Artists Work Shop, which, though it does not give degrees, has more prestige in the artist community and attracts people who feel that their creativity had been stifled at O.C.A., and if you really have good ideas it will fo~ce the old institutions to either learn from you or to recogniz~ and accept itself as tne utilitarian commercial institution it is becoming, or perhaps, has already become. Our system has become too infl.e xible anyway. Let us once again Doctors, Lawyers, gravedig• s, 1 ers, writers, mathe- n Discover your and it will mean much more to you. If we c3n do this then once again we may have dedicated and involved people, and certainly it is only when we have dedicated and involved people that we can keep our learning and living alive. �I I I want to c:Ug .lnto .the dep;tlu, , deepeJL a.nd down a.nd 6WLtheJL .into yoUll. mlnd; were reported in Akron the fifth straight I wa.nt :to CIUtWl a.nd 6eel Sunday .the -6a.nd g!U:t 0 6 yoUll. .6 enument .ln my 6a.c.e a.nd 6eel yoWt hecvr;t bea.:t .ln bec.omlng yoWt eyu, a.nd p a.nd National Guard Force kept the peace in Negro areas , of the city.

They are studying the ecology of the landscape, taking notes on the- weather, collecting plant specimens & evidence of Indian civilization. An all-encompassing survey, then. One of the main purposes of the expedition is to study the ecology of the area. They set up approximately 160 small snap traps in a campsite and leave them for three days. Small mammals shrews, mice & squirrels are disected & preserved in various chemicals. ~tatistics are taken on the vital organs of the animals. Shrew ovaries & squirrel stomachs! This is done in a systematic manner so that a comparison can be made between time & place. A similar study was conducted last summer. ANOTHER LETTER The Students for a Democratic Society are now being incorporated as part of the Alma Mater Society of Lakehead U. Members of the Students' Council and executive are becoming members as they feel that it is time for changes to be made. The coming year should prove very interesting and possibly winter might be hotter than usual. LONG LIVE THE PROLETARIAN REVOLUTION! Signed, The M<Uiked Avenge/I., ·Verm.y the Red. Exploring Lue archeology of the area is also a responsibility of the crew. They look for old trap lines, Hudson Bay stores & check out portage routes for artifacts of the trading era. Some primitive Indian pottery has been found which is an important discovery, as it is definite evidence of an advanced culture. Such a find is unusual for the area. Jim Dunstan and Garth Pentney, two second year Arts students, are living in a completely isolated situation for a period of nine weeks. The Lands and Forests float plane dropped them off at Fort Hope, flew in supplies once in the two month period and will also bring them back to benevolent mankind. They will have travelled 100 miles up the Albany, having had 10 or 11 different campsites and ending up at Washi Lake. The long term objectiv~s include a comparison of the results on the land before and after a study of ecology. Success of the project may mean the area will be inundated for the purpose of hydro electric power. In such a scheme, the party of 2 suffers many dangers of isolation. The Lands and Forests pilot keeps close watch on a region covering 35,000 sq. miles. The many accomplishments of this survey could not have been carried through without the help that the Lands and Forests has given. CONTEST NOTE Since the postal strike has negated all . chances for you, our readers, to participate in the latest thrilling ARGUS contest , we will extend the closing date for entries to thirty days after the end of the strike. Besides, we've misplaced the pictures that were printed in the last issue with the profs names on the back, so, we can't judge the contest anyway. 1968 REGISTRATION SCHEDULE OF BOOKSTORE HOURS -------------------------------·--------------------------------9:00-+5:00 Tuuda.y, Sep.tembeJt 3 FORESTRY VIPLOMA Wednuda.y, Sep.tembeJt 4 9:00-+5:00 FORESTRY VIPLOMA ThU1UJda.y, Sep.tembeJt 5 9:00-+9:00 PA1<1"-TIME FJu.da.y, Se.p.tembe11. 6 9:00-+5:00 REGIONAL NURSING Monday, Se.p.tembe/1. 9 9:00-+9:00 SCI.

Information on the candidates was compiled from their submissions to the ARGUS and from interviews with students during study week.) Tomorrow, Lakehead students again go to the polls, this time to elect AMS councillors for the 1969-70 session. When nominations for the 11 positions closed last Friday, there were 21 candidates in the running. Artsmen will find themselves selecting six of the 12 Arts candidates in the race tQ represent them on next year's Council. Two Science students have declared themselves for the one Science seat, while seven University Schools students are contesting four seats on Council, Difficult decision Strike shuts down L.U. construction University construction halted again Friday when Sheet Metal Workers' Local 397 went on strike following breakdown of negotiations for a new contract . The strike is expected to be a long one--perhaps two Student fined $15 Ross Singleton was found not guilty of b-eaking down a door to the lower cafeteria by the AMS Judicial Committee headed by Mike Barkwell, who was himself found guilty of b-eaking open a door in the lower cafeteria earlier in the term. The Judicial Committee, which met Thursday, Feb. 27 over charges resulting from disturbances at the Engineers' Stag Feb. 8, found Singleton not guilty of "willful damage to a door", not guilty on a charge of fighting, but guilty of a charge of disorderly con• duct. The defendent pleaded guilty to all three counts, but the Justices decided there was insufficient evidence to convict him on two of the charges. Singleton was fined $15 to be paid by March 15 and AMS privileges will be suspended ,upon involvement in any further disturbances. A witness to the incident Jim Higgins, testified two persons were present at the forcjng of the door. He could only positively identify· Single• tonJt is not known whether there will be further charges laid. months. The old contract expired Dec. 31, 1968, and negotiations had been in process since Nov. 4, 1968. Two meetings were held with a government conciliation officer and on his recommendation to the Minister of Labour, the Minister informed Local 397 that no conciliation board w~ recommended. Local 397 was free to go on strike on Feb. 28. One more negotiation meeting was held on Feb. 26 in a last attempt to avert strike action, but to no avail. Issues of dispute are wages, fringe benefits and welfare, which would give meQtbers of Local 397 parity with those of other mechanical construction tradesmen at the Lakehead. This year's election will probably be much closer than those in former years. The majority of candidates have stressed their despair at the elitist nature of past Councils, and place high in their lists of priorities the reversal of this trend. The Arts candidates include students with varying degrees of experience. Th.re'! former councillors, Ken Boshcoff, Michael Gravelle and Simon Hoad are all in the running, as are three Argus staff members, Ron Baker, John MacGregor, and Doug Smart. Judging from past performance, Boshcoff can be counted on to sit on numerous committees, as he presently does. His major concern seems to be with saving money, notably accomplished in past by chG>pping 'both honoraria and course evaluation programs. Gravelle's native wit is effervescent, but he did a reasonably good job on the cafeteria committee this year. He comes on as an honest councillor. Simon Hoad has proven himself to be one who stands up for his beliefs. A keen participant in many phases of student activity, Hoad limited his effectiveness by resigning from last year's Council. As this year's editor of the ARGUS, Ron Baker has been a constant concerned critic of Council. If he puts as much time into Council as he puts into the Argus, he will be a worthy candidate. Doug Smart campaigned for CUS in ·the recent referendum, and has proven himself to be an 1D1tiring worker. MacGregor, a graduaie of Ryerson, has made his presence felt in the Argus this year. He defended vigor• ously the "no rules" policy of "C" house in New Residence this year. John has proven to be a hard worker and a progressive thinker. All active Six candidates for the Arts seat on Council are relatively unknown faces at the University, but all have been active in student activities in the past year. Val Dennison's politics, if anything, are left of centre. She can most often be found in the thick of debate on any issue, and she has never hesitated to defend her ideas. Ray Hunt, a member of the varsity hockey team, has been interested enough in the AMS to sit through several meetings. He wants Council to be more involved and less cliquish. Kumar Kwatra, involved in the past with the International Studen~ Organization, stands for concerned international representation. Donna Pace, crowned Carnival Queen, ser· ved the students at the University of Western Ontario as External Affairs officer on their students' council. Her personal involvements mark her as one who follows up her ideas with positive action. Michael Metherell stands as a representat• ive of the students. He seems to be an independent personality, but he obviously sees himself as something altogether different, since he claims to be Kaz Miyata's understudy. Robert MacLeod is a "left of centre moderate" who likes to hear himself talk. His platform is one of student participation and Senate openness. Two for Science Judy Pearson and John Paddington are the candidates for the one seat on Council for upper years Sciencemen. Paddington has an interest in seeing the University grow. He rarely takes part in vehe· ment talk sessions, preferring to listen and reflect. He can be counted on for sound decision-making. Judy Pearson has been immersed in student government activities _as a spectator for the past year. She worked on several different campaigns over the course of the term, and has displayed a quick mind in argument. Feedback stressed All seven candidates for the University Schools seats are concerned with communicont'd page two McGill prof's dismissal causes uproar MONTREAL (CUP)·· The explosive Gray affair at McGill University was further complicated Thursday when over 100 faculty members made public a petition sharply critical of admii,istration handling of the conflict. In an open letter to the administration the 100 (of 1,000) faculty members questioned ,. the wisdom shown by the administration of McGill University in. relation to the proceedings taken against Mr. Stanley Gray." The staff members scored the administration for failing "to respond to the evolving principles of . university government, by which we mean the painfully slow process of the democratization of the university." They criticized the fact that administrative officers ,. are not chosen by or accountable to the university community as a whole." The result of this selection process, they say, is a set of administrators "often unaware of and insensitive to the needs, opinions and ideas of the staff and the students." Threats and repressive action only make the situation worse, the letter said. Principal H. Rocke Robert• son, instigator of dismissal proceedings against Gray, was not impressed with the petition and said: "In a difficult situation of this sort there are bound to be sharp differences of opinion." He also pointed out that he had received a petition of support from over 500 faculty members. Gray had a Friday evening deadline to decide on whether he will accept an arbitration committee following guidelines established by the Canadian Association of University Teachers. The political science lecturer countered with a proposal to set up a university community board but the plan was rejected by Robertson. If Gray rejects the CAUT system, · he may be dismissed outright. Of the 100 signatories to the petition, 14 were full pro• ft:ssors, 11 associate professors, 45 assistant professors, 29 lecturers, and I research fellow.

Only one of the seven is up for re-election. Janet Hamer worked on the organizational level of Council last year, and has proven herself capable in the capacity of office manager. She would have LUST used more effectively next year, to serve better as a vehicle for cormmnication. Three candidates have served on University Schools council. Darlene Cymbalisty wants to change the nature of the AMS Council to bring about more effective government. She has been very active as a worker in past years, and brings into the campaign considerable experience on a wide range of committees. Sharon Weller stresses the responsibilities of a counsillor, pointing out unwillingness to take this responsibility as a major set-back on past Councils. She would like to be a part of a progressive Council. Jack Tallon brings an open mind and a desire for communication to the campaign. Albert Au stresses the representational a_spec:t of Council as the most imoortant. He would also work towards improved communication between Council and his mates in the Schools. John Drew offers the electorate new opinions, and a willingness to work with the newly elected executive. Dave Snell comes on as an idealistic thinker. His conception of Council is a governing body; a problem solving organization. Independent thinking There are no obvious choices for this year's Council. And there are no political blocs of which to be wary. Dennis Wallace, newly-elected AMS President, spoke of the requirements of a good councillor. "Political le_aning, while important, I don't thing should be the only ·consideration in elect• ing representatives," he said. "The good councillor is the one who relies not on the structured policies of one particular line, hut who is able to think independently, and to act on decisions for the good of the students.''

The school operates on a type of preferred system of rights. Mr.-- (the high school viceprincipal) can do what he likes, as long as he remains far enough behind the times to please my parents and the Board of Education. You can do whatever the hell you want as long Mr.-- and his friends don't find out. The same situation applies to me, except it is much easier for me to get caught, and there's a lot more I can get caught doing. This is one thing I can't understand. If I'm paying you to teach me, why shouldn't you be the one with all the restrictions and why shouldn't I be giving the orders? If there's going to be a nigger at all it should be you. I am in complete amazement of the course called "English" which is taught at this school. The whole idea of this course seems to be to give us a knowledge of past literature while denying any existence of a present art form. I find it extremely difficult to understand the meaning of works by Milton, Shakespeare, and others whose works were very significant when they were written but fail to interest me now. What exactly are you trying to teach me through these works? If you are trying to show the beauty of such authors' works why do you want us to rip apart every line and verse and transcribe them? If you are trying to illustrate the structure and styles of certain types of literature, couldn't you use modern examples that would be more interesting and understandable? If you are teaching this course only because Mr.-· pays you to, then that's fine with me, but I was just wondering. I think that you can expect, though, that the students will be extremely discouraged when you make them memorize shit just for the sake of fulfilling an absurd quota as to how many lines they are required to memorize. You know, of course, that students forget what they memorize in a few days, so this practice, without a doubt, is a one-hundred per cent waste of time. With your curriculum, it is difficult not to bore the pants off your students, and I think this is where your course is mainly at fault. ltissad that with all the great literary achievements throughout the centuries, a lunch period is a hell of a lot more enjoyable than an English period. Another very disturbing aspect of the system is the student representation. In order to keep us contented, Mr.-- lets us have a prefect system and a Students Council. Mr.-deserves a Nobel peace prize for humanity. He confuses the kiddies by making them believe that these two forces are a privi ledge. The poor prefects are given the two jobs in our school which are considered the lowest in society, those of the garbageman and the cop. The prefects are made to collect the trash left by pigs at lunch period and then told to enforce all the meaningless laws Mr .•• makes up and inflicts upon us. The students council takes in money from the students and entertains us through school dances. School dances? What bullshit! The school has nothing to do with these dances. It's the students who pay for and organize these dances. Mr.-· lets us use our gym and in return we must ob&y his pointless rules (restrictions on time you can come, guest passes, smoking etc.). And our. parents think, what a jewel Mr.-- is for allowa place for wholesome social activity. Bless you, Mr.-- . Well, to conclude, I think I have a lot more sympathy for your position than for Mr--'s, but I'm still concerned about the student as an individual. I hope you comment about some of the things I've written. Yours truly, Brian. It is easy to find fault with this essay. The language seems deliberately provoking, the logic is ruthlessly two-dimensional. But it is not fair to call the essay immature; the author is sixteen years old and measured against his peers he stands out as remarkably advanced and sincere in his thmking. (If he had a better grasp of student power jargon, he could perhaps write for a CVS newsletter.) Brian must have intimidated his English teacher. The essay was in the form of a letter to her, he asks for her comments, and is obviously looking for a personal confrontation. He is inviting his teacher ta step out of her role and speak to him as a person, asscre him that she has not been bought off. It is possible that his teacher has never given much thought to the function of the student council or the prefect, but she sfvuld be able and willing to defend the relevancy of her English course to her students. Instead she handled the essay predictably, retreating further behind her official function. The essay was returned, without comment, and a grade of minus one. (minus· one?!) Another essay would have to be submitted. Brian had learned his lessons well, and knew the formula for getting a good grade: imitate standard form, content doesn't matter. His second essay is amusing considering the circumstances. The level of irony in the following essay may have escaped the notice of Brian's teacher. It received a grade of 8-. How Animals Prepare for Winter Brian Gray 11 C There are many animals which pfepare for winter in interesting and dynamic ways, but probably the best known and most widely acclaimed ones are these: the happy-go-lucky bullfrog, the domestic beef cow, the energetic pigeon, and the hard-working brown squirrel. The first animal we discuss is the bullfrog. This animal has a grave problem, when Mother Nature turns on her vast refrigeration unit throughout the forestland. Poor bullfrog has to prepare or else his pond and his home will freeze and he will have no place to live. What our friend does is, before his pond is frozen over, he dives to the bottom of the pond and buries his body in the mud below. This quickthinking reptile stays at the bottom tmtil spring is here. Number two in our lineup is the domestic beefcow. This animal has less control over winter preparations than the others. When Jack Frost comes in the fall, the farmer must prepare his barn for cow. He must bring straw and hay into the barn so cow will have lots to eat and gain lots of weight. If cow gets fat enough, farmer can sell cow and we can eat cow. Poor Cow! Our third animal we look at is a member of the bird family. Pigeon has to worry about getting food and not freezing his unprotected body in the cold weather. To solve this problem, pigeon flies south for the winter. Pigeon is no dummy. The final and probably the most interesting animal is squirrel. Squirrel prepares for the chilly season by finding a hollow tree to live in. She then gathers food for herself, which consists only of nuts. These are put into the hollow tree and as soon as the weather gets cold, squirrel joins them. Throughout the winter she can eat the nuts inside her home. This is the prime example of real preparation by an animal. Brian insults his teacher's intelligence by submitting a puri le essay, his teacher insults Brian's intelligence in return by giving it a a grade of 8-. And so ends another episode in the life of a high school student who is lost, finding himself going up the down staircase. Poor student. Poor Teacher. �the SDU Students for a Democratic University. SOU. . The group is growing at Lakehead, and beginning to get involved. For a start, they are criticizing the AMS Council. Their -:- reasons are clear: the counci I is a handy organization for the administration to have around, but not much use to students' educational interests. For example, the AMS takes care of student social events, a nasty chore the administration does not wish to spend time on. Also, the council gets students involved in what is supposeqly student government, only to find themselves bogged down with social convening, and unable to represent more important student interests (either that or the councillors come to think social convening is the right basis tor student government). A nice set-up. Dissent is smothered by the irrelevant workload in student council. And the administration deals only with the counci I as a "representative~'body. However, the counci I does not necessarily have to re..__ main this way. Perhaps a restructuring of the council committee system would allow more time to be spent on education issues. This must be attempted. The AMS has not yet reached the stage where it is totally useless and should be destroyed, although it is very close to that pointJ The SDU will continue to point out that the council is more a hindrance to democracy than an aid. It is up to the new counci I to change this. Perhaps an indication to whether the council succeeds wi 11 be the relative growth and strength of the SDU. Across the country groups like the SOU are forming and gaining strength. They are considered a threat to our society. It is interesting to note that groups striving for democracy should be considered a threat to a democracy.

I quote: "Of course some came to heckl e. An administrative employee (herself an immigrant) challenged Laney's right to his position because he is English". The facts of the matter are as follows: I. There was no question of "heckling". Mr. Loney had finish ed his address and had thrown the meeting open to questions from the floor. Mine was one of these ques t• ions. 2. Although I am employed in an administrative capacity (bookstore manager) at ·Lakehead University, I am also a graduate student at the University of Toronto. It was in this latter capacity that I addressed Mr. Loney. Any reporter who would pigeonhole people in narrow categori es without further investigation, needs his horizons widened; by the same token he could have referred to Mr. Loney himself as "a member of Faculty", since Mr. Loney by his own admission has been employed in a teaching capacity at Simon Fraser. 3. I emphatically did not challenge Mr. Loney's right to his position on the grounds that "he was English". I did, however, question whether he had enough experience as a Canadian student in a Cana- dian situation, after only two years residence in Canada, to become president of the Canadian Vnion of Students. Mr , Loney has never been an undergraduate s tudent at a Canadian Vniversity, and has been a graduate student here for only a little more than a year, during part of which he was also engaged in teaching. This seems hardly represent· ative of the Canadian studentbody as a whole. I therefore compared his rise to his pres• entpositionto that of a British immigrant who would aspire to run for Prime Mini ster after only a year's residence in Canada. Mr. Loney th en answered that he might jus t do that. (Pierre Elliot Trudeau take note. ) Next time ARGUS, tell it like it is , ins tead of closing your ears to what is being said, and slanting your report toward what you would have liked to have heard. Yours very truly, Day Laban Editor's Note: Perhaps "some came to heckle .. was a little strong. However, a small minority of Loney•s audience attacked, on every conceivable ground, his right to give opinions on matters relating to Canadian students. e.g. "What right have you to speak for Canadian stu• dents?" e.g. "Why don't you listen to the majority?" (These questions received hisses and laughter from most of the audience.) Loney himself never claimed to speak for the majority of Canadian students, or to know precisely what the majority wanted. However, he was overwhelmingly elected CVS President-Elect by student representatives from universities across Canada, and as such it is his right and duty to represent Canadian student interests to the best of his ability. would it be possible for him to do this without ever expressing an opinion as to what student problems are? Publicity pictures Dear Sir: I can't help but comment on Bob Gibson's publicity pictures in his campaign for the position of V.P. of Academics. I have seen portraits where the person holds his glasses to his lips • his coutenance one of knowledge. I have seen portraits where the person holds or has a book in front of him. I have seen portraits where the person is pictured in front of a wood panelled wall. But all three together! Can there be any doubt that Bob Gibson should be V.P. of Academics.

The committee comprises concerned and sympathetic members of the Montreal community andaimsatprocuring justice for the ninety seven arrested students:- This is the other side of the story. It is told by the people who have suffered the dirty end of the stick. We know those guys. They are .not madmen or savages, they are humans who demand to be treated as such. We _aim to show how and why reasonable men can be made to appear irrational and vicious. And we aim to explore the reason behind the anti-black, anti-West Indian hysteria. The events of February 11th must not be allowed to obscure the real issues which to us are now clearer than ever. April 29, 1968 All black students and one Chinese student in Zoology431 at Sir George Williams University approach Dean Flynn, Dean of Students, with complaint against Professor Perry Anderson, lecturer of the course. Substance of Charges: (a) discrimination against non-white students; (b) incompetence of professor and poor organization of classes. (The black students have refused to release the details of their charges until proper procedures acceptable to all parties are set up to permit a fair hearing.) May 5, 1968 Meeting between complainants and Professor Madras, Dean of Science at Sir George Williams University. Discussion of charges. Professor Madras concludes that there was no substance to the charges and informs Mr. Anderson to this effect. The complainants themselves, however, were told nothing. They never heard the results of this discussion until the new academic year, SepteQ1ber 1968, when Ander.son informed them that Madras had cleared him of the charges. Sometime before November 20, Dean Flynn was informed that the black students were dissatisfied with the investigation. Flynn expressed his concern to the Principal and other members of the university. November 20, 1968 Dean Flynn, Professor Davis (on behalf of complainants) and Miss Joan Richardson, an assistant to the Dean of Foreipi Students, meet and try to arrange a meeting to mclude representatives of complainants and administration. Although the urgency of the situation was stressed, administration representatives found it impossible to make time for such a meeting. December 5, 1968 black students were the only party to show up. Frustrated black students v1s1t Principal Rae demanding that Anderson be dismissed forthwith. Rae disclaims knowledge of the affair, but after consultation, he proposed the setting up of an investigatory committee. Viceprincipal Clarke proposes members of a five-man committee. It was agreed that these names should be acceptable to all three parties involved, that is, Anderson, the students and the administration. The students suggested replacements for two of the proposed committee members. lhe amended list was agreed upon. At the same time Professor Anderson asks to be relieved of his duties. January 18, 1969 December 12, 1968 January 21, 1969 Emergency meeting of Science Faculty to discuss composition of committee. The meeting was open to students but no black students were informed, though white students were invited by phone. The black students got to know of the meeting while the meeting was in process. Incensed by the move, they disrupted the meeting which had to be dis·continued. Meeting of the hearing committee and black students. Disagreement of procedure and in particular on Anderson's right to be represented by counsel. During the impasse students suggest that Anderson, who was not present, be invited to join the deliberations. He refused· to do so. January 6, 1969 Anderson indicates his intention to resume teaching. Vice-Principal O'Brien, in a letter to Anderson, suggests that this would be inadvisable in view of the "potential difficulties that may arise, including the risk of violence." Since the complainants had not made any suggestion of violence they objected to this statement. They approached O'-Brien in his office and demanded a retrat:tion of the statement. O'Brien at first denied that he had made any suggestion of violence. When he was confronted with a copy of his letter, he signed an apology. As a result of this incident, warrants were issued for the arrest of three black students who were accused of forcing O'Brien to sign the apology by detaining him in his office. January 10, 1969 Professor Marsden resigns from hearing committee on the grounds of conflict of interest between his position as a member of the hearing committee and as president of SGWAUT (Sir George Williams Association of University Teachers). He asks that his replacement "should be acceptable to the students and to Professor Anderson in the spirit of the original agreement on December 5th" (Marsden subsequently resigned from SGWAUT and rejoined the hearing committee.) January 16, 1969 Students suggest replacement for Marsden and conditions for hearing to the -chairman of the hearing committee but he claimed not to have the power of decision in these matters. A meeting with Anderson and the committee was arranged to consider this question, but the Security measures Stcurity measures taken by SGWU administration for the January 26th committee hearing of the charges against Anderson:- (Note that these were adopted at a meeting on January 25 four days before the occupation of the computer centre.) 1. The building should be sealed as of tonight. • 2. Two plainclothes men will be at the hearing and additional men could be supplied if the university would pay them. 3, If police reinforcements are called in, they should come in through the garage and up the service elevator. ·Tomorrow morning the staff will lock all the doors from the 14th floor to the basement. Our most important objective must be to protect our plant and installations. 4, There should be a plainclothes constable in the computer centre. 5. Someone from the staff should be patrolling each floor of the building. 6. A command post should be established comprising four people who would have the power to call in outside help. 7, There would be some merit in having a plainclothes constable as a member of the command post. Hearing committee meets, rejects students demands. January 20, 1969 Hearing Committee meets with Anderson; P,rocedures agreed on. Students conclude, after meeting with Professor Davis and Bayne, that these two members of the hearing committee are incapable of giving impartial judgement. Replacements suggested for Davis, Bayne and Marsden. January 22, 1969 Professor Bayne and Davis resign from the hearing committee because of ambiguities in the committee's structure and function. Administration unilaterally decides to replace them and proceed with the hearing on January 26. January 23, 1969 Black . students refuse to accept new com• mittee since it had been unilaterally consititued. January 26, 196 9 Hearing begins. Black students state their objections to participating and walk out of the hearing. Conumttee agrees to proceed in the absence of the complainants. Students seek legal counsel. White students come out in support of the complainants. January 29, 1969 Students and theu lawyers attend committee hearingandreiterate demands for new committee. The committee again rejects these demands. Students repeat walkout, but later returned to disrupt the hearing, which adjourned for the day i,n chaos. Computing centre occupied by mixed group of black and white students. January 29 - February 10, 1969 Hearing continues in camera. Students remain in occupation of computing centre, and take over faculty lounge. Various attempts at mediation. February 7, 1969 Anderson resumes teaching and is temporarily suspended as a result. February 9, 1969 Lawyers for students and administration work out compromise settlement, including a new hearing committee, dropping charges against three black students (in connection with O'Brien incident) compensation for academic time lost and no reprisals. Students believe that this com.i:>romise will be signed inmrediately and prepare to leave computing centre. February 10, 1969 A day of frustration for occupation forces. The written agreement expected from the administration failed to materialize. The matter was referred to the Sir George William Association of University Teachers by the administration (the reason is not apparent); this body advised that the agreement be rejected and submitted a counter-proposal. It is unclear on what grounds the administration decided to accept SWGAUT's advice. The students, who accepted that the negotiations were closed were unaware of what was going on 1D1til they were informed around midnight on Febcuary 10, that the compromise was rejected. �argus, march 6, 1969, page 7 son affair 1ore important than human rights? These two pages were compiled by Winston Rennie, ARGUS associate editor, who spent two weeks in Montreal following the destruction of the Sir George Williams computer centre. Police supposedly kept their cool The Montreal Gazette, a part of Canada's complex of faithful news media printed the following: "The bloodbath that many feared yesterday afternoon turned into a fine moment for the Montreal Police Department. "Throughout the entire arrest period, the police acted strictly according to the book and appeared determined to avoid any cause for charges of police brutatity." And the public responded with numerous compliments to the police for their cool, nonbrutal and efficient flushing out of the "criminals". Let us look closer at the basis for this praise. A riot squad is only called into action when a situation has reached a point in violence th.at is beyond the capabilities of the regular police. They are fully armed men, prepared to injure or be injured. The administration called the police on campus before any damage was done to the computers. This action, calling the police, clearly provoked the eruption. According to the Gazette, police moved into the building about 4:30 a.m. and came back out quietly about 1:15 p.m. with 97 arrested students. What happened in the interim of nine hours? We are led to believe that these students are extremely dangerous people who con• spired, proceeded to wreck the computer centre with axes, and attempted to bum the building down, knowing they had locked and barricaded themselves in the room. Was this supposed to be a massive suicide attempt? In the same breath the police say they walked into this den of criminals who were brandishing axes, and quietly placed them under arrest. After praising the non-brutal actions of police the Gazette reported "police smashed windows in the two rooms to drive back the spreading smoke. The militants were kept in the cold rooms for more than three hours while waiting to be fingerprinted and photographed." Students reported some of them had no cQats or shirts•when one student complained of the cold a wet blanket was thrown over his back--another was made to lie on the floor in cold water. Students told of indecent searching of girls, being beaten with batons and pistolwhipped, being kicked and knocked against walls. They described brandished pistols and attempts to force some of them back into the fire. The students said police entered the room once, looked around, took the odd axe, and left, bolting the back door from the outside; they returned for the attack. The police were certainly not attempting to reason with the students. Nor was the administration who called them. The students are being charged with conspiracy. It might prove interesting to study the whole issue to determine for yourself where the true conspiracy lies. Arrested students were identified and fingerprinted in the basement of the Hall Building before being taken downtown to station one in a convoy of eight paddywagons and three cars. Racism exposed in Canada by Winston Rennie Canadians have long been living in a fool's paradise. Behind the flimsy curtain of non• racism and equal opportunities for all types, they refuse to be equated in this aspect to their North American neighbours. This is their international image. It is therefore understandable that they would try desperately through devious means to keep the lxand of racism from any disturbance to their pure society. The Anderson Affair has shattered this curtain and exposed what really existed behind it. I deliberately refer here to the 'Anderson Affair' and not the 'Sir George Williams University Affair' as it is now being termed. The latter implies an entirely different thing. It clouds people's minds to the real issue - turning it away completely from Perry Anderson and the messy case of racism in Canada's clean society. False picture Further, it 1.-ings to the forefront the matter of two million dollars worth of damage and a supposed attempt at arson. The events and subtle provocation that led to this situation are dismissed as irrelevant. This false picture shows ninety seven above-average students as being seasoned criminals who deliberately conspired to disrupt the society by doing unforgiveable damage to its heart • where its property lies. One of the accused was actually described by a lawyer as an "ex- tremely dangerous person" who should not be allowed to be free in the streets of Montreal. But they know that to the world this is pretty difficult to accept. It was therefore necessary for the whole concern to be placed in a ·wider and more political framework. Communism, Socialism, Maoism, Black Power, Black Panther - all these already established evils to clean western society have been cited as the roots of the events of February 11th at SGWU. The cry now is for foreign students to take the education they are receiving in Canada and keep them· selves quiet. But this .is no hand-out to the needy. Every foreigner who comes to Canada to study pays through the nose for his education. This gives him the right to have a meaningful say in what he's getting for his money. It would be interesting to make a statistical study of the contribution of foreign students to the economy of this country. Canadians must re-evaluate Canadia11s refuse to accept that what is needed is a close re-exami-. nation and re-evaluation of their society. --that the only 'ism' behind the current issue at SGWU is racism, which-exists here in a more danger• ous manner than in the U.S. --that racism also manifests itself here in the continued exploitation of the French in Quebec and the Indians. --that the bombs exploding so frequently in Montreal are not the actions of any outside political circle, but that of frustrated and dissatisfied citizens. --that they cannot continue to tease the bull, commit disguised acts of violence on its person and expect it to kneel in submission. --that their system of educaition needs remodelling and redefining. Canada, you are sick. As Cleaver called on America, I now call on you, Canada, to swallow and digest these facts or hope in the convulsions of your stomach you vomit up the cancer of selfdishonesty and hate that is eating away your insides. It is necessary brothers wci sisters, to understand and tell the people about the deliberate and unethical manipulation of facts and situations by the SGWU administration that brought the whole issue to its present situation. Let them know that even before the occupation of the computer centre the. administration had already prophesied that there would be violence. Why the extensive security measures for the January 26th hearing of charges against Anderson? They seemed to know the exact outcome of the whole sitnation would be .. The students were backed into a comer, led to believe that their proposals would be accepted, and then double-crossed and -set upon by violent men waving batons. They were railroaded and fucked. This is nasty business. Canada is now beginning to show its true nature. The highest degree of solidarity among us is necessary to fight this thing. The fight has only just started. �argus, march 6, 1969, page 8 Nor'Westers second in Brandon tournament The Lakehead University Nor'Westers placed second in the Brandon Basketball tour· nament last weekend, ending their season 17-9. LU. had advanced to the final game against the Minot State team from North Dakota, by defeating the hometown Brandon U. Bobcats 85-67, but were beaten by the Minot team 75-66, a defeat which broke their 11 game winning streak. LU. appeared a bit overconfident in the first half of Friday's game as the hustling Brandon squad took a 38-36 lead. . With a good second half, fast lxeaks and a strong performance on the boards, L.U. dominated the game until the final whistle. Dan Carroll led the Lakehead team, scoring 22 points, and assisting with 7. He established a new rebounding record of 30. He received scoring help from his teammates as three of the other four starters, Jerks, Humphries and Earl each hit double figures.

They wentinto a man-to-man defence late in the game but had to foul the Minot five in order to get the ball and the Minot Cagers did not miss many shots from the foul line. The nine point margin of victory turned out to be the nine more free throws which Minot made. Willie Jerks led the Nor• Westerattackin this game with 19 points.

Den- Ski team second The Lakehead ski team dropped to second place in the Ontario Intercollegiate Athletic Association last weekendlosing to Osgoode Hall. Lakehead won the event last year and the year before. Osgoode jumped into a commanding lead on Friday with wins in both the slalom and the giant slalom events. Lakehead was second in both events w.ith Dan Hennefant showing the way with a fourth in the slalom and a sixth place in the giant slalom. Jim Johnson, a former member of the Canadian National Ski Team, won the slalom with teammate Peter Richie, a former Lakeheader, second. Gary Kunnas, a graduate of L. U. now attending Osgoode placed fifth, Ken Crompton, another grad attending Osgoode, sixth and Tom Burk of L. U. seventh. The Giant Slalom was all Osgoode, as Crompton, Johnson, and Richie placed one, two, three with Dan Hennefant of L.U. sixth, Kunnas of Osgoode seventh, Tom Burk of L.U. eighth, followed by Ian Tamblyn of Trent University in ninth spot. The second day of competition had L. U. winning the cross-country team event with fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, and ninth places. Laurentian was in second place followed by Osgoode.

With barely an hour's rest between games, Lakehead met the highly touted UMD team on their home court. UMD started with a court press to tire the already weary blue and white. Lakehead retaliated with a strong defensive game. The score at the quarter was 6-5 and 9-8 at the half for L.U. The closely fought game went into overtime with L.U. outshooting UMD for a 33-27 margin and victory. The second game, with UMD double teaming Glenis Holmes, allowed Judy Perlin to work in close to hoop 12 points, tops for both teams. Gail Amort drove two fast buckets to demoralize the opposition. It also forced UMD to foul in order to gain possession of the ball. UMD' s strategy failed as LU. made four of their foul shots to salt away their victory.

You may vote for any number up to six. The candidates are given here in alphabetical order, as they will appear on the the ballots. ing the direction of their courses. Ken Boshcoff also served on the Orientation committee which will make orientation next year more participatory f0r all concerned. In addition he is a member of the Media Committee which is attempting to make LUST a more relevant part of campus life. As a delegate to the OUS policymaking conference Ken became well acquainted with the pertinentissuse at universities today. Ron Baker I am currently Editor of the ARGUS. I feel my position has given me some insight into student affairs. I am also an honorary member of AMS Coun• cil and the University Committee. I think there is an urgent need for the university to reevaluate the learning process. I do not believe that a student oriented re-evaluation will come from the administration or from the faculty. Therefore I feel the most important work to be done is tohelp students organize themselves so that they can gain more control over their edu· cational environment. Student government is where the work must begin. Ray Hunt feels that the time has come for the AMS Council to stop being a debating club for a small group of students at Lakehead University. The students have shown by their performance at the last election that they do care. Ray has been an interested spectator at several AMS meetings, and wants to add his efforts to Council. He also plays varsity hockey for the Nor'Westers. Ray Hunt wants to work towards making the Council a cohesive force working for the good of the campus body as a whole and not the political aspirations of a few. Kumar Kwatra Val Dennison Val Dennison stands for concerned representation on AMS Council. She has, in the past, been an outspoken critic of .Council, while actively working with LUST to further communication between Council and the student body. Val Dennison supports CUS and its policies. She believes in a progressive student Council, and will do her best to bring about constructive changes at Lakehead Univer• sity. Ken Boshcoff Ken B.Qshcoff, the first year Arts councillor, is seeking re-election on a platform of progressive student activism and involvement. A member of the Senate Judicial Sub· Committeedealingwith appeals from students on academic questions. On the AM~ he served on the Wages Comm1 ttee which succeeded in lowering the total wages being paid to members of the executive, thereby saving over a thousand dollars in fees paid by students. As chairman of the Course Evaluation Committee he was responsible for the decision against course evalu· ations as wasteful (money-wise) and useless (student-wise). As an alternative, course union structures are now being planned whereby students will have a larger say in determin- often because justification for criticism was definitely there. However, the council has tried to do its best and I feel that if enough qualified and interested councillors get elected this Friday, it could be a great year for the AMS. The AMS council has been criticized as a small clique of people not really interested in the rest of the student body. In other words, there has been a communications breakdown. To a certain extent this is true, and I feel that this can be alleviated to a certain extent, by the better use and improvement of Lake, head University Student Television. This year's council has already begun to act on this, and things should really get cracking next year. Concerning my stand on the Senate, I feel we should ac· cept seats on the Senate, regardless of number, but only when the Senate has been opened to the students, at least in a parliamentary sense, in that they would be able to observe the proceedings. Simon Hoad Simon Hoad, a third year Arts student, has for the past two years had a great interest in Council affairs, and served part of that time as a councillor. And as an Argus staff member he has gained an insight. into some of the background workings of this university. Simon Hoad believes that a councillor should act as an elected opinion, not as a passive sponge. A councillor must have the courage to vote for and to defend issues he believes in. Greater participation in all levels of university affairs, such as open Senate meetings will be high on Simon Hoad' s priorities. Simon Hoad is always ready to represent student views. Michael Gravelle I was eiected AMS arts councillor in September of 1968 and since then have been active on the cafeteria, honor· aria, wages, and academics committees. In late November I was appointed to the University Committee, which I feel can and will be an excellent source of communication between the students and the administration. In the past year, the AMS has been frequently criticized, Ray Hunt Student progress and integrity are my aims; how I reach my goals depends upon the circumstances of the issue. However, considering the past phases of the AMS activity, I would venture to admit that such pursuits as I have mentioned are vital and access able. Though many policies of the AMS have been remarkably constructive and appreciable such as continued membership in CUS, a few of its undertakings on the other hand hav.e been utter failures, for example, its inability to do what was necessary in Mike Barkwell's case. Also the parking facilities payment had -not been justified: many students appear to use the same facilities even without buying the parking ticket. This is injustice to the students who attempt to live lawfully and abide by the regulations. While accepting the imperfect nature of man, I however would work in such deficient areas and try to minimize the unecessary losses and injustice to the student body in general. Nonetheless my attempt to resolve such problems all by myself or with limited members of AMS including other student club executive members on campus would be nothing but de• feat of my purposes, therefore •I would seek for a vast and vigorous student participation in tackling our difficuhies. Whether I happen to be a councillor or not, I will make an active contribution towards building an effective and c_on· structive student community. Finally I urge you all to support me for the councillor position on our AMS body. I hope to be of some service to Lakehead. John MacGregor_ My name is John MacGregor, I'm 25, in Arts II, and I'd like to represent you in AMS council. I have been News Editor for the Argus for the past year, which has given me a better than average picture ofwhat is going on, the personalities of those pulling the strings, and how to get things done for the students in the system. I've attended more AMS meetings than certain of the councillors(which is not really too hard) and it's apparent that a good many things will have to be improved. One of these things is the amount of work done. I promise to put as much time and work into AMS as I have put into the Argus, and I promise to do it all the year round; not just in September. There are a few other things I'd like to see us work towards. AMS pays out about $3,000 in wages to students (proctors, returning officers, honoraria etc.) and I'll work to see that it is spread out a bit more evenly. We definitely should have students on the Senate; but we must not fool ourselves into channeling all our efforts in this direction. The real descision-making that effects students is done on the Departmental Committees and the Senate Sub-committees. This is where we should strive to get students. f Robert Mcleod I am politically oriented as a left of centre moderate. I am running for this office because I wish to be part of a Council which has shown itself ready to participate actively in out· side society. I am an active member of WUS (World University Service) and I firmly support CUS as it is presently comprised. cont'd. next page �argus. march 6, 1969, page 11 • from page ten \ I want to help make this a university of which no one could ever again say that the students seem like delegates to a farmers' convention. Most importantly, I want to see students consulted about their needs on all course changes and more student participation on all committees and especially on an open Senate. - Arts candidates continued and I hope that the student body will show a positive interest, not only in these elections, but in student activities throughout the coming year. Remember -- you will get the Council you deserve. Doug Smart (Arts II) has a good view of what is involved in AMS Council and $tudent affairs in general. He campaigned actively in support of Dennis Wallace in the recent Presidential election. As an ARGUS reporter he has attended almost every council meeting this year and has also reported on many other issues during the year. Because of the long working hours on the ARGUS, Doug has shown his willingnessto devote time to student affairs. The. time can now be shifted more directly into AMS needs. He sees one of the major priorities of the new council \ as prep~ring a brief on Senate openess so that this can be achieved and we can then accept the offer of Senate seats. The restructuring of AMS committees and the establishment of priorities is also a major concern. Doug sees student representation on the departmental committees as the best means at present for student participation in the decision making process. The major. responsibility of a councillor is to see that the rights of the students are protected. Doug Smart Two for S.A.S. President \ l t e ,e to in ci· ;u· ltt• the :his ! to Michael Metherelle During the past year, I have held the position of Vice-President of the French Club and as a result have been concerned with various club activities. My main aiin in running for the AMS Council is to help give the students what IBEY want. Bearing this in mind I have no specific election platform, preferring to judge each issue on its merits with regard to the 1 benefit of the student body. During the coming year I shall be acting as understudy :o Kaz Miyata, Vice-President 1f Programming, and will be haring his office. If elected, shall be available at all mes to discuss with any 1udent issues pertaining to iversity affairs. I would like to wish all er candidates good luck Donna Pace Donna Pace (Arts 11) transferred to Lakehead this year from the University of Western Ontario where she was Minister of External Affairs in the student government. Donna was actively involved in the Native Indian Culture Seminar held here inDecember. She was also chosen Winter Carnival Queen this year. One of Donna's major interests in the AMS is Orien· tation Week which she feels should be a major event of the year. This would require a great deal of planning and work, but would get the year off to the right start. Donna is also concerned with community and society problems which led to her involvement in the Indian Seminar. For the past year I have served as a councillor of the Students Athletic O)uncil as well as being the Vice-President of the University Schools Society. Over the year, however, I have found that my interests have been concen• trated on athletics. As S.A.S. President, I would be able to put my interest in athletics to the best use. Over the past year I have found a number of problems with the intra-mural program and with the use of the students athletic fees. There is a definite need for better communication between the council and the student body. Many of the stu· dents are not made aware of many of our intra-mural activities. I would give my utmost attention to this problem in an attempt to improve the situation. For example, I would like to see a weekly events calendar printed listing all athletic events, intra-mural or other. In the past as well, there has been very little co-ordination between the athletic department and the council. I feel that the athletic budget should be discussed with Judy Pearson council before it is passed.

John is keenly interested in sports activities, and hopes to be able, through AMS Council, to help in making the University grow. Tom Fry Ron Hiller As an active member of this year's S,A,S. council I have seen athletics take a major step toward becoming an integral part of the University Community, and it is my sincere hope that it will continue to provide more students with recreation, entertainment, and competition. This can only come about through the efforts of an energetic S.A.S. working in conjunction with a competent Athletic Department. If elected President of S.A.S. I will provide ample opportunity for more students to learn and participate in the sports of their choice by pro• viding clini'cs, tournaments and facilities. The scheduling and planning of these intramural and service sports would be done during the summer so the student will be presented with a complete schedule and information about all the sports _ being offered when he or she registers. A separate athletic handbook will be published fOF women and a greater effort will be made to encourage women to participate in ath• letics. I will also place a greater emphasis on intramural and Varsity participation in tennis, gymnastics, track and field, soccer, weightlifting, wrestling, badminton and football so that they may share the success of our basketball, curling, squash, handball, sailing, hockey, table tennis, skiing, swimming, fencing,and golf. I will provide communication between the student and the S.A.S. by publishing a monthly newsletter which would contain a summary of the month's athletic events and the athlete of the month and a schedule of upcoming games, intramural and varsity, and any clinics to be held.

He has no set views, preferring to judge issues individually. He wants to see what the students want, and to be able to discuss issues with them and the other councillors. Albert Au I am a second year Commerce Student. The first thing I would like to stress is the import· ance of a hard-working coun~ cillor who will communicate with the students. As their representative, he should be the bridge between students and AMS. During my past two years in University Schools, however, nobody came to us and told us what was going on in AMS Council. To most of us, the AMS seems to be remote and inaccessible. If elected, I will try my best to communicate with everyone in the University Schools, keep them informed, find out what their grievances are, then give them a voice in the AMS Council. Secondly, as one who has worked for students in other countries, I can help with new ideas that may be of service here too. During the past two years, I have held the position of Social Director of the Chinese Students Association and the Treasurer of the International Students Organization at Lakehead. I have. attended the AMS Council meetings during the past months, supported by the President in his successful campaign, and am most willing to work with the AMS executive in the future. CENTENNIAL SQUARE FORT WILLIAM PHILOSOPHY OF DRESS SUITS. SPORTCOATS • SLACKS BY MICHAELS-STERN 'OCHESTER, NEW YORK Darlene Cymbalisty As a member of the University Schools Council I am able to see that certain changes are needed in both AMS Council and the University Schools Council. Much of the councillors time is spent in petty beckering with the end result that nothing is accomplished. I believe that this year's executive is an extremely good one and is interested in doing as much as possible for the students of this university. Therefore they need a good Council that will support the executive and whiich will instiitute changes if necessary. In the past two years the University Schools faculty has indeed proven itself. Its spirit is equal to Arts and has far exceeded Science. This year can even be a better year for University Schools if the faculty has a good representa• tive on Council. From my experience in the University School Council, Winter Carnival Committee, Senate SubCommittee, and as an active member of LUNA, I feel that I can ably represent this faculty in the AMS Council. Janet Hamer This past year I served as office manager for the AMS and was also on the cafeteria committee. If you re-elect me to AMS Council, I plan to devote my time to the re-organization of LUST (Lakehead University Student Television). This university has all the television facilities to offer the students, and it is up to us to use them effectively. I feel the AMS Council should be a sti:ong, represent• ative body speaking for the majority of the students. Any questions you may have can be directed to me.

John Drew John Drew lives in Port Arthur and is in second year business at Lakehead University. He plans to go on to the Honors Bachelor of Commerce course after completing the diploma program. John feels he can be an asset to both the AMS Council and the University. He has some good opinions about the major issues concerning ~e Council and knows that his views and ideas are along the lines of most of the newlyelected executive. He is looking forward to being of service to his fellow students. Jack Tallon During the past two years at Lakehead University I have recognized that students are questioning society in a manner never seen before in history. Since the AMS is our governing body, I believe it has a function to fulfill iJl aiding us as students to find answers to our problems. I believe students serve a useful function in today's civilization in that they are requiring society to look at itself. It is with this belief that I have made my decision to run as a candidate for Council. I hope to represent the students to the best of my ability and together make Lakehead University a better university in the future. Jack Tallon Jack Tallon is _a. sec~nd year Business Adm1mstrat10_n student who served on the Unt· versity Schools Council this past year. Jack also ran in the recent University Schools executive election for Vice• President. Jack wants to let the stu· I feel that the function of an AMS councillor is to represent, to the best of his ability, the ideas and hopes of the students who elect him. After serving as a member of the University Schools Council for the past year, I find that my views are very representa· tive of the students in this faculty. As an AMS councillor, I will serve the interests of the students in University Schools. As for the AMS itself, Ii feel councillors are needed who are willing to take on the responsibility involved. At the meetings that I have attended in the past year, it was evident that many of the councilors did not take their jobs seriously, and as a result, muchCouncil time was wasted. My political views are neither radical nor staunchly conservative. A progressive council is needed, one which can see the benefits as well as the drawbacks of change and which has the courage, where changes will be of advantage to the student, to carry them out. Having been a student at Lakehead for three years, and active on the executive of the Lakehead University Nursing Assoc1auon, and Winter Carnival, and a councillor on University Schools Council, I am confident that I am capable of representing University Schools on the AMS Council. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

So says a resolution passed in the July 12 Senate meeting. , The motion came under strong attack by faculty and students at the University Committee meeting September 9, and AMS council voted to "reject" the motion in a meeting September I I. AMS Councillor Missi Powell criticized the interchange of the words "Senate" and "University" in the description of senate policy. Alan Alexander of the Political Science faculty agreed, and added, "This resolution is calculated to create the kind of situation it is trying to avert - students are on the defensive a lousy way to start negotiations." Mr. Alexander emphasized that the Senate motion "should not have been issued without prior consultation with the students." Mr. David Morgan (Director of Development) retaliated, "Up to now the Senate hasn't got the feeling that they were expected to be consulted before creating policy. There are lots of resolutions passed. Why should this particular one come under attack?" Dr. Tamblyn tried to calm things down. "It's very easy to change the wording of a resolution," he said. But as discussion grew more heated, he added, "I have never seen the Senate of this university pass a resolution -vhich could not be discussed at length." A question was raised as to whether the discussion would have any effect on the resolution, but it was not answered. However, Dr. Tamblyn did say, "The problem is that students have no voice in the Senate." Councillor Owen Marks makes a point during heated discussion of Senate resolution. CUS supports Viet Cong GUELPH (CUP) - The Canadian Union of Students has voted 3 to I to support the Vietnamese National Liberation Front in its "struggle for national liberation". In the resolution, CUS "condemned the imperialist -and genocide war currently being waged against Viet Nam by the United States of America and its allies", and demanded the withdrawal of all U.S. and allied troops. Earlier Gerald Pout-Macdonald of Regina had moved the clause supporting the NLF be deleted, but the amendment was resoundingly de'feated. In opposing the amendment, Martin Loney, president o.f Simon Fraser and presidentelect of CUS, said the NLF represents the majority of the Vietnamese people. Pout-Macdonald said he CUS wrap up page three believed the congress should not endorse any group which engaged in "terrorist activities which do not accomplish anything''. Another amendment which would have condemned all non-Vietnamese interests rather than the U.S. alone, was withdrawn when it became apparent it would haye no support. Other clauses in the resolution gave support to the International Week of Protest against the war and mandated CUS to invite a NLF student delegation to visit Canada. -photo by Hoad The PIG - see page five L.·u. student on national council A Lakehead University student has been elected to the newly-formed CUS National Council. Missi Powell, an Arts Ill student, and, member of th·e AMS Council of Lakehead, was elected as one of seventeen voting members of the CUS National Council. The elections took place at the annual CUS Congress this fall at the University of Guelph. Miss Powell was one of ten students nominated for the five positions occupied by Ontario Students. The creation of the National Council was a move to combat CUS's top heavy structure. Miss Powell explained , "In the past, executive domination has caused CUS to mean nothing to 'Joe College' ." "The purpose of the Council," she added, "Will be to make interim policy decisions and to provide a liason between the CUS secret• ariate and the student on campus." The remaining twelve positions are occu- pied by the Maritimes with three, the Prairies with three, B.C. with three, the President the Vice-President, and the President-elect. The Council is not designed to be regional in representation. However, Miss Powell stated there was a desire to have a representative from the North representing both Lakehead and Laurentian Universities. Miss Powell was noted for her radical tendencies throughout the Congress. Her nomination therefore was seconded by the University of Toronto. She attended the 'Radical Student Caucas' at the University of Waterloo immediately following the Congress. The first meeting of the CUS National Council has been set for October 25 in Toronto: the same time as the National Day of Protest against Vietnam. -photo by Hoed �argus, &ep.tember 17. 1968, page 2 This week. • TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 1968 Films - University Centre - Room 1029 - all day;Neighbours; Ladies & Gentlemen, Mr. Leonard Cohen; Day After Day; University; Nobody Waved Goodbye.

W. M. Kelly, chairman of the Board announced the limited representation last Wednesday (Sept. 4) saying the board believes it had fallen short of student and faculty expecta• tions last year because of a lack of representation from those groups. "This is not a. reaction to anything," said Kedy. "It's not because we think the stu· dents are going to put bombs under the president's chair. It fills a need in the board." David Maxwell, president of the Students' Council, was not impressed with the Board's granting of two student seats: "It's a matter of adding two students to an elite board. They will be used by the board as mouthpieces - excuses. · Whenever students make demands, they'll be told to take it to their representatives and will have no more power than we have now." Claude Bissel, president of the University of Toronto, expressed interest in the Ryerson decision. He added that the U of T was about to launch an examination of its own structures in the near future. When the news of the Ryerdecision reached the CUS congress at Guelph that afternoon, it was met with cries of "Shame! Tokenism!" Students removed from parade TORONTO (CUP)--Six representatives of the Ontario and Canadian Union of Students were expelled from the annual Labor Day Parade last week. The six came to march with the Toronto and District Labor council, following up a telegram sent to the council the night before by the CUS secretariat expressing support for labor and student-worker solidarity. Initially, parade marshall Ken Verrel refused the students pennission to join the union ranks because they had not secured a march permit. The Steelworkers International Union tried to help, giving the students hats and badges of the union so they might carry CUS and OUS banners in the Steelworkers bloc. . But six streets Iater, Verrel expelled them threatening to call the police. MEET ME AT ARTHUR AND CUMBERLAND In response, the CUS secretariat sent a second telegram protesting the "forcible expulsion of the joint CUS-OUS delegation," from the Toronto parade. The telegram said: '' We hope that the persons responsible for this ac·tion will be severely reprimanded. It is our belief rank and file trade unionists were unaware of and would not have supported this arbitrary expulsion."

They also came out s to 1 behind a statement condemnU.S. war efforts in Viet Nam and endorsing the Viet• namese National Liberation Front in its "struggle for national liberation.'" And they acclaimed as president-elect Martin Loney, key figure in 'Simon Fraser University's battle for democratization who called in his acceptance speech for a mass action-oriented movement for Canadian students. The withdrawals came on the third day of the congress as the deadline for signing a 1968-69 commitment to CUS drew nearer:. The tension came as cam· puses calling for structural changes in CUS lost ground to policy-makers who ended up largely responsible for the major congress resolutions. British Columbia and Manitoba with 18,000 and 12,000 stu· dents res ectivel also were um influenced by prospects of a $1 per capita levy-up 25 cents a head. UBC and Manitoba both refused • to sign commitment forms before the deadline, but by congress end they were back in on the basis o{special financial clauses which permit them to pay less than $1 a student if necessary. University of Victoria also pulled its 4,800 students out temporarily, opting for a waitand-see attitude toward con• gress policy, but it was back before the final plenary Sept. S. Other withdrawals, mainly involving small campuses st~ck h~wever, and the only bnght hght for incoming CUS president Peter Warrian lay in scattered promises of campus referendums among vanishing members. Biggest blow that day was laid by the University of Saskatchewan's Saskatoon campus, which charged through president Eric Olson that CUS is riddled with "leftist dogma." Olson later promised to place the question of a referendum before his council, but his strongly-worded statement bcought Warrian to offer his resignation if the congress Oelegate_s to the 32nd c_anadian_Union of Students congress raise a picture of Ho Chi Minh to cover a portrait of Queen Eltzabeth m the plenary hall.

At the CUS Congress last week, Lakehead delegate Missi Powe l I won a seat on the CUS nationa l coun cil. Much of her support came from the bigger, more radi cal universities, who are recognizing Lakehead as a growing, aware university. Is this recognition earned? Lakehead only began to speak out m the later days of the Congress, when Simon Fraser's radical speeches and songs of " sol idan ty forever" sparked enthusiasm for CUS. But when the enthusia sm ~Hed down Lakehead shuffled back into mediocrity.

Let's hope thijy bring their ideas back and use - - hem to open Lakehead' s eyes. Competition in education Students have been cutting each other's throats since kindergarten. Too soon they learn to compete for grades--to feed back what they are told, to keep their thoughts from their classmates, to cheat. Too soon they stop thinking. Teachers fol low rules. They give grades in a "normal" distribution. There are a few low ones and a lot of average ones. Somebody has to get a good mark, and has to defeat his classmates to get it. Suppose the basis for competition was removed. Suppose there was no one to beat, no grades to compare, no tests to fail. What would happen? First of al I, students would lose their fear of each other and discover that professors aren't the only intelligent creatures in a classroom. · Education would centre on learning rather than teaching. Students would study what interested them. l • Secondly, professors would exist for students--not for administrations or governments. With no evaluations to make, professors would fit into student groups as friends and resource people. They would no longer be rulers obeyed out of fear. .... Thirdly, administrative expenses and powers would be cut immensely. Administrations would be concerned with finding facilities for the students, rather than with degree requirements, registration's red tape, and grades. The strongest proponent of competitive education is business and industry: tax-supported examinations and degrees help employers select job applicants. An end to competition would force companies to make their own evaluations of prospective employees. And students would learn for the sake of learning, instead of good marks, recognition, and good jobs. rgus The ARGUS is published weekly by the Alma Mater Society of Lakehead University.

While the idea of universities controlled by students is not unpleasant,. it nevertheless has many shortcomings which can to my thinking never be ironed out by the students themselves. With this in mind, I would like to make an alternate suggestion concerning the reform and control of the university. For the sake of argument, let it be called Academic Power. ent body and faculty were to enter some contrived relationship, students most certainly would have been the ones to suffer. But this is a new year. Already our faculty have indicated their intention to stand up for what they feel is their just due. On the relatively small issue of secretaries, they united, and stood firmly against the administration, subsequently causing the administration to re track its steps. Granted, the issue seems small in relation to what needs to be done , but the indication is there. This is not to say that the student body should become any more subservient to the faculty than they already are. A university should be a As an example of what I escommunity of scholars, not pouse, look at Simon F raser of scholars and their em- University. Their faculty ployers.

But it will be necessary to solve the minor conflicts within the uni versi ty first, and to do this there must be an alliance between students and faculty. Let us not follow the rest of the country, with Student Power martyrs strewing the lawn. Let us take one step beyond, and establish Academic Power. Sincerely, Chuck Grieve ■ simon says ..

ARGUS editor, Ron Baker, and student council members. Dennis Wallace and Owen Marks, interviewed two members of the Great Society, Detroit Black Panther, Allan Bernard and David Kramer of People Against Racism. Both espouse a violent overthrow of the present American government, charging it to be antiquated and unrepresentative. The fact that these two men can only hope to change the system in which they exist by a violent disruption of their society is disturbing. Because the United States has proved incapable of accepting quiet revolutions typified by the civil rights movement and the anti-war movement of Eugene McCarthy, it is going to have to face the violent upheavels espoused by Allan Bernard and David Krwner. QUESTION: What were you doing in Chicago? KRAMER: We were attempting to address white racism. We had a centre two blocks from Lincoln Park. We operated out of that centre for five days, Sunday through Friday. QUESTION: Why do you think the Black ghettoes were quiet throughout the Convention when that ConventioR dealt primarily with Vietnam, and therefore indirectly with problems in the ghettoes? BERNARD: Well, the Black Man thought this was the White Man's thing. Another thing-although the Black Man was sympathetic with the Whites in this matter, you just don't know when the ghettoes will explode. QUESTION: What were the effects of this convention on the McCarthy kids? KRAMER: Well, I think a number of them were radicalized by the experience in terms of what happened to McCarthy and what happened to them. One of the thmgs we were concerned about before we went was whe• ther the police would be able to distinguish between the McCarthy people and the others. They couldn't. They just freaked out over everybody, including the McCarthyites. It was just a new experience for them. QUESTION: Did your group organize any demonstrations? KRAMER: We organized a march in support of Black transit workers who were striking against their union. Three-quarters _of ~e bus drivers are black, but the umon 1s controlled by whites. We also did some demonstrating at two downtown banks that were hooked into the consortium which supports South A_frica. QUESTION: Did you run into any trouble with the police yourself? KRAMER: Just when we were in la~ge -~roups The police were constantly pushmg people into situations ~ven when they didn't want to get into confrontations. They had no alternative, then, than to confront. For instance, on Wednesday they had a rally in Grant Park and they had fifteen thousand people there. There were enough soldiers and police there to let those people march anywhere. They had a soldier every five feet with a gun and a bayonet to prevent trouble. Daley and the police were in this pride thing. They said NOBODY would march. Well the situation is you have fif. teen thousand there in the park and they won't let any large groups out of the park. They wouldn't let more than five people out of the park at one time. Well, that way it would take a month and a half to get everyone out. So people tried to move out of the park and that's when the confrontation started .. .It was a tremendous example of Governmental stupidity. That's all I can classify it as because it certainly was in Daley's and the Democrat's best interests to prevent such confrontations. That whole scene in Chicago could have been carried off that week without any violence or brutality. Sunday, Monday, Tuesday nights, there was a great confrontation between cops and people because the people wanted to sleep in Lincoln Park and the cops wouldn't let them, mainly because there was an eleven o'clock curfew in Lincoln Park. Well most of the Movement in Chicago could have been nullified if the cops let them sleep in the park. Many people ended up fighting with the cops not over anything but the right to stay in the park. A lot would have been satisfied to spend the week in the park sitting around camp fires, eating hot-dogs, you know. But the cops kept egging them on. The cops were really nuts. QUESTION: Did you see any Yippees while you were in Chicago? KRAMER: Yes, I saw evidence of the Yippees. It's hard to tell the difference between a Yippie and a non-Yippee actually. I guess people who have beads and have funny hats and wear rimless glasses, or something, are called Yippees. There were a lot of "flower people'' there. They seemed to be apolitical, mainly because they wanted to do their own thing. The police wouldn't let them. They were in the thick of the confrontations because they weren't allowed to do their own thing. QUESTION: Well, perhaps we can digress for a moment. Allan, yesterday, Huey Newton was convicted in an Oakland court for "Voluntary Manslaughter" in the slaying of a police officer. Since Newton was one of the founders of the Black Panther movement, a great deal of controversy has formed around this trial. Do you actually know then, whether Newton is guilty as charged? Did Newton actually kill that cop? BERNARD: I wasn't in Oakland at the time but it's like any other city in the states. The pigs (police) are constantly harrassing the people in the Black neighborhoods, constantly going into the Black neighborhoods, grabbing four or five kids, beating them, putting them in jail. The Panther's motto, if you know what a panther is •• a panther won't strike unless he's in a corner. Then he'll come out with all his fury. Undoubtedly, the pigs were harrassing Huey and they had him in a comer and he reacted vidlently. However, I cannot really tell you what happened. But you know, of course, that freeing Huey Newton is one of our priorities. Beyond a reason of a doubt, he will be freed. KRAMER: Chicago really institutionalized the word "pig". Originally, it was used by the Black Panther movement to describe the police. Tuesday night sixteen hundred people marched up Clarke Street towards a bus terminal to demonstrate their support for the Black busdrivers. These sixteen hundred people marched up the street going "Oink, oink, clap, clap, oink, oink". The Chicago Sun-Times later editorialized that the cops had given pigs a bad name. QUESTION: There have been some reports that some New York cops ·turve seriously been thinking of establishing a New Right. Would either of you like to comment? KRAMER: Well I know how important this really is. The Minutemen and other rightwing groups have been infiltrating police departments and National Guards for a long time. I think that rather than a New• Right being formed, it is just a front being established for already existing forces. The police are in a real jam. They're the tools QUESTION: Did the SDS get involved in Chicago? Although their head-quarters are there we've heard rumours that they decided to cool it. KRAMER: I guess the national office of SDS did not take an official position. But the• rank and file of SDS were fairly prominent. They had a wall poster called "Handwriting on the Wall." You know Hayden and Davis and those guys were not formally SDS when supporting the Mobilization. But it's pretty difficult to tell. Their great fear was, and it will probably be born out, that what happened in Chicago will be blamed on th~m. I know this is true, that things are moving in a repressive way. I was in Detroit l~st Sunday night when a local draft board office was blown up. Monday and Tuesday the FBI was coming around interviewing people who had gone to Chicago. of oppression you might say. They're attacked on the one side by the Fascists for not doing their job well enough, and on the other by the Leftists for being brutal. Both individually and institutionally they're racists. I mean they relate to coloured people in a racist way individually and their position in society is a structured one, to keep people in their place and to maintain order which is a racist-imperialistic order. BERNARD: I don't know how true it was about those two hundred whites who attacked the Panthers in New York. If it is, you can keep your ear glued to the radio because the majority of Panthers are coming straight out of Harlem. They just don't take that shit. QUESTION: Do you think Chicago was a succe3s? KRAMER: I don't know. One of the things I'm concerned about is these people being unrealistically euphoric---that is people think Chicago is a great political victory because public opinion supported them and was directed against the police. But I think that public opinion was based on the assumed innocence of the victims. If the "poor victims" do something which reveals their non-innocence, then public opinion won't be there. For instance, a· lot of people were pushed around by the cops and were radicalized. And the next time they run into .the cops they are going to be less willing to be pushed around, much less willing to respond to the traditional authority of the police. So if people get tough with the cops I don't know where public opinion is going to be. You see public support was based on images of Clean for Gene kids being pushed through windows. Now a lot of those people weren't Clean for Gene kids. Cops give him bad name. -photo by Hoad con'd page 9 �.

Loney, acclaimed midst thunderous applause, urged delegates to go back to their campuses and "turn people on to social change:--then begin working to improve. Only then will we be able to return to future congresses as true representatives of the Canadian Student Movement and be able to talk of student changes." Church democracy KINGSTON (CUP)-The United Church of Canada, operator of some 17 educat• ional institutions, may be the next to join the university democratization drive. The General Council of the church recommended last week that students be rep• resented on the governing boards of its colleges and theological schools. Among the institutions in• volved in the move to stu· dent representation are the University of Winnipeg and Mount , Allison University. The president of the University of Winnipeg Students' Union, Allan Dudeck, would 19 not guarantee student ac• ceptance of the Church reco• mmendations. "Their statement does not necessarily lead in the di• rection of democratization of the university," he said, "We would oppose anything that looked like tokenism." luxury of debating about student power.

ATKINSON'S JEWELLERS An enlightened senate by Dennis Wallace On July 19, 1968, the Senate of Lakehead University, in a state of "enligh tenment", passed a motion to cope with faculty or s tudent unrest. The motion reads: "It was moved by Dr. Merrill, seconded by Professor Lindsay, that the Senate of Lakehead University reaffirms confidence in the admimstrati ve officers -of the University, and directs them to take prompt and effective action in case of any attempt to engage in tactics which disrupt the orderly conduct of the University. To this end tire Senate formally adopts the following statement as the policy of the University. 'The Senate of Lakehead University stands for freedom of speech, freedom of inquiry, freedom of dissent and freedom to demonstrate in peaceful fashion. The University recognizes that freedom requires order, discipline, and responsibility, and stands for the right of all faculty and students to pursue their legitimate goal_s without interterence. This University, therefore, will not tolerate any attempt by any individual, group or or- ganization to disrupt the activities of the University. " ' It is a pity the Senate has become so reactionary that they feel it necessary to institute edicts to stifle all but the most meek forms ot dissent. Goals must be "legitimate" , but in whose terms? The greatest mistake the Senate made was to call themsel ves "the University" and s tate they would not" tolerate" disruption of university acti_. v1t1es by any "individual, group or organization''. This could be used against students in the case of a strike. If the majority of students walked out and prevented the rest from crossing their picket lines, the action would not be tolerated. Whatever happened to the community of scholars all working on an equal basis towards the betterment of soCiety? It would seem one can survive in university only through conformity, as innovation amounts to insurrection. Use of this motion could easily rid the uni versity of any students or faculty who wish to reform the system. "The phrase, "Tactic which disrupt the orderly con· duct of the university" shows the Senate's fear of violence. Howeve r, in attempting to maintain order the Senate quashes creative dissent because students and faculty fear retribution. Unless the Senate rescinds this motion, the myth that a university is a community of scholars which is free of governmental or administrative controls will be blatantly exposed. Simon Fraser blew up. Lakehead will too if this motion indicates the Senate's attitude towards reform. e WILLSON STATIONERS LIMITED Port Ar1hur or Fort William For Your SUPPLIES 'Artearved & Bluebird' Diamond Rings /JNl-- 8 S. 0..mberland St. , P.A.

A motion at last week's congress attacking English Canada's exploitation of the French ·national community passed by a vote of 51 to 35. The motion calls· on the citizens of Quebec to decide whether or not to establish a "bi-national" government with English Canada. Proposing the resolution, the University of Western Ontario delegation explained "The paper is about Canadian imperialism. To reject it is to advocate the assimilation of the French-Canadians by the English-speaking Canadians." Speaking against the reso- lution, a delegate from Queen's University said French Canadians should be allowed self. determination, but CUS should not encourage separatism. Dalhousie delegate, Bruce Gillis, agreed with this, and added that the several separatist parties in Quebec can't get together. Gillis has lived in Quebec and emphasized he was speaking for himself and not his delegation. Dalhousie felt the vast majority of French-Canadians are not separatists. A King's University delegate compared the situation to that of Northern Ireland, which has been separated from Ireland since 1922 when England granted six northern countries sovereignty. The King's delegate concluded that "separatists will be in power for a long time in Quebec, running on national issues with bias against English-speaking people in Quebec," if it receives sovereignty. One aspect of the policy statement which caused less heated debate was the proposed end to "the fragmentation of English Canada into nine separate provinces". The resolution states "We need a strong national government for English Canada. We recognize the existence within English Canada of a French minority which has fought for several generations to preserve itself. English Canada has a profound responsibility to assist this minority in maintaining its cultural heritage." $1+·00 Sat. CAR WASH Sept. 21 r 1 I Proceeds to the • CRIPPLED CHILDRENS ASSOC. Every Car Wash Entitles The Owner To A FREE TICKET TO THE DANCE To Be Held At The Fort William Gardens -DANCE TICKETS REGULAR PRICE 50C Sponsored by Circle K CUS rejects authoritarianism GUELPH ( CUP)- CUS has rejected the" authoritarianism and repression" of Canadian society and begun a fight for a "democratic, non• exploitive" alternative. The policy statement, arising from a commission discussing "The Student in Society" was approved 20-4 with 6 abstentions by full plenary . .. • _The statement scored American corporations, charging: "Canadian society is not selfdetermined; our cultural, political and economic lives are dominated by giant American corporations". This question is fundamental because "self-determination in education will be possible only in a society which is selfdetermined." Realizing "American imperialism is not the sole obstacle to Canadian self-determination", CUS pledged itself to "struggle not only against imperialism but also against the capitalist, corporate organization of society." And since "repression and authoritarianism are not limited to capitalism", the student union will fight "all forms of authoritarianism and repression in any system." The policy statement ended in a call for a "democratic, non-exploitative" society, a line causing the bitterest argument of the session. A large group failed in an attempt to "put our cards on the table" by substituting "socialist" for "non-exploitative". There was some dissension, Simon Rosenbaum of St. Mary's University in Halifax objected to the statement that "capitalism is a fundamentally exploitative system" -claiming "evils in the system are not inherent." Windsor delegates said the document was "'irrelevant" to students •on campus,. because the analysis was "national", not directly applicable in "tactical decisions for action," Most of the delegates felt the policy state• ment was a necessity for a real basis of action, and passed it handily.

Although backchatting, procedural ball-ups and personality conflicts appeared to dominate the scene some important work was accomplished. In fact, seasoned observers from past councils were overheard to comment that this year's council was the best ever. Council passed a motion to the effect that Senate reso• lutions should be considered proposals (rather than regu• lations), and that the words "Senate" and "University" are not interchangeable. The council also decided to attempt to get observers on the Senate. Voting privileges are not wanted because • the Senate meetings are closed, and the AMS follows CUS policy prohibiting student membership on closed assemblies. It was felt that student votes on Senate sub-committees would be more effective. Another motion said that the AMS would not pay rent for the use of the C.J. Saunders building, but would pay extra maintence costs caused by AMS activities. Administrative personnel will have to deal directly with • the student council in discussion of these costs. Numerous other issues dragged on till 12:47 A.M. Interested students may get the minutes at the AMS office. THE PERFECT GIFT: A BEAUTIFUL 5 LB. BOX OF COMMERCE MONEY ST.JAMESstereo Centre Ltd.

PORT ARTHUR �35 - 0 shutout argus. september 17, 1968, page 11 Lakehead Mustangs open with loss The St. Vital Bulldogs took an early lead in the Intermediate Football League with a shutout victory over the Lakehead Mustangs. The Bulldogs led 7-0 at the half, 28-0 after three quarters, and 35-0 at the finish. Mustang coach Bill Shannon was still optimistic. He said his rookie-laden club was in high spirits despite the loss. Shannon attributed the loss to the team's inexperience which led to a weak defence. Of the opposition's defence, Shannon said, "The only way I can describe them is big -better still, huge." Their front wall has a 6'7" and 6'5" end. The tackles are exWinnipeg Blue Bombers and middle guard Dawson is probably one of the best in Canada. Against this Rick Heady shone at times for the Lakehead offence but failed to produce a score. Meanwhile the Bulldogs' Schoenfield wreaked havoc with the Mus- tang defence. DP.spite the score, the Mustang defence played a strong game, holding the Bulldogs to 138 yards gained. L.U. players Lakehead University is well represented on the Mustangs. Pete Andras at safety is- perhaps the best in the league. Jack MacMillan, Joe Berhbe and Ray Hunt play in the line and Tom Fry is seeking a backfield position. Bob Young (Arts Ill), Larry Perepluk, Brian Heggi (geography department) and Jerry Lundburg round out the LU contingent. In addition, Shannon expects John McLeod and Dave Montgomery to be ready for the second or third game of the schedule. With experience, the Mustangs could ma_ke it tough for both the Bulldogs and the St. James Rams. COOCH'S CORNER by Larry Hebert Hi, sportsfans!

Although registration appears to be well organized, many students find that they have two or more courses at the same time. One student said ,. All of my Library Technology courses are at the same time as the other courses I want to take." At present, students registering in Arts Il and ill seem. to be in the worst position. One 2nd year Arts student said ..I want both Sociology 2£6 and Geography 2c6 but they conflict." Another 2nd year _Social Science major said, "I can't take sociology 2£6 and Child The Indians f Psychology, as they conflict." One student summed up his displeasure rather vehemently, "I spent all of my 1st year qualifying for my subjects and today I find out that I can't take half of them. Due to the process of registration, the registrar couldn't . be seen.'' The Argus also found Mr. Ayre "ext rem el y busy" but did manage to get some details- from Mr. Bohm who described himself as an "overseer of registration ... He said that the situation was partly due to insufficient counselling. "We attempted to get people here at a time when a counsellor was available." But· all the counselling was done in the last week. Mr. Bohm said "If we had held the counselling in the summer, a much more acceptable timetable could have been created." When asked "about rectifying the problems Mr. Bohm - ID GUELPH -- Forty, forty, universities· left CUS because forty little Indians, then Tl, they felt it hard to be Frenchthen 30, then 34 little Indians. speaking schools in an EngCUS membership fluctuated lish-Canadian: union. wildly throughout this sumNew Brunswick wanted to mers congress at Guelph as experiment with voluntary school after school pulled out, student union membership-reconsidered, stayed out, came or at least some of its deleback in.

So did "Mount Allison and St. Patrick's. Quite a few withdrew simply because they didn't like the "rancor'' at the congress, the direction (in some cases) or lack of direction (in others), and ,.leftist dogma". Ottawa University thought the money invested in CUS fees could be put to better use at home. Saskatoon, through president Eric Olson, charged CUS with dishonesty, accused the executive of heavy handedness and complained of "leftist dogma." Southern Alberta Institute of Technology described CDS as "completely misdirected and accused "certain leftist CUS sets student power demands GUELPH (CUP) Student power fervor swept the CUS congress last week and was turned toward direct action by a chronicle of demands and set of realistic tactics. In a resolution, the result of three days of study, revision, argument and commission wrangling, CUS called for control by students' unions "over the learning process and ' university decision - making processes of all levels."

As a measure of consolement Mr. Bohm said "this university· offers a flexibility when one takes a course." Registration mix-ups are not new at Lakehead. Last year a problem arose in September. Due- to changes in the calendar, inany students were forced to drop or change courses. • • a spec1"al draf tmg committee appointed after Congress failed to deal successfully with the initial papers. "The operating principles of our approach to bargaining must be those of parity, mass · participation (instead of representative models of democratization) in open structures and parallel decision-making with a veto vested in autonomous student unions," said the student. "These are wishy-washy resolutions. It means confrontation and hard work in building up mass support on every level," warned Simon Fraser delegate, John Cleveland. On tht; departmental and classroom level, a resolution demanded the establishment of student departmental union locals with veto power and of student committees parallel to all departmental faculty committees. CUS recommends the abolition of Boards of Governors as presently constituted, with two alternatives suggested: • a reconstituted senate with an equal number of students and faculty, student factions" of contributing to •'mass confusion". Waterloo University College wanted to wait and see what CUS would become before they would commit themselves. Also, the UBC delegation was waiting to see the direction of CUS policy.

John Lynn (Canadian University Press) MONTREAL (CUP)-Two weeks ago the McGill Dail(y reprinted an article from the satirical Realist magazine which Principal H. Rocke Robertson judged to be "obscene libel." Three students - Daily Editor-in-Chief Peter Allnutt, Supplement Editor Pierre Fournier, and Supplement columnist John Fekete, under whose column the article appeared - were asked to appear before the senate discipline committee, facing possible expulsion. From this initial action sleep-ins, violence, arrests, and total academic upheaval of the university have resuited. The issues in the contro-versy are unclear, mainly because different campus groups either place one issue above the other, or interpret issues in ,contrary ways, or mix issues together. The result is intellectual chaos. ..OBSCENE "--.... - - •• The original administration charge of "publishing an obscene libel" was dropped after considerable pressure by campus intellectuals. The rebuttal was best illustrated by a four-page tabloid issued Monday, Nov. 6 after Robertson had laid charges Saturday. The en- tire front page said simply: "This paper contains obscene libel." Page two carried the complete Realist article. Page. three carried eight lines from Chaucer's Pardoner's Tale, replete with four-letter words, and an exerpt from "A 114odest Proposal" by Jonathan Swift which reads in part: "A child will make two dishes at an entertainment for friends; and V{hen the family dines alone, the fore or hind quarter will make a reasonable dish, and seasoned with a little pepper or salt win be very good boiled on the fourth day, especially in winter." Yes. dear reader. Swift wrote of chllclren being eaten. lm't it cl.lapdlq? Is it W.rature? Is the RNUaJ lllerature? The same page contained a definition of obscenity by John M. Woolsey, U.S. District Judge: "The meaning of the word 'obscene' as legally defined by the Court is: tending to stir the ·sex impulses or lead . to sexually impure and 1 u s t f u 1 thoughts . . ." The passage from the Realist, professors and students agree, cannot be considered an aphrodisiac. (cont'd page 5) Statement from Executive Committee of AMS to the student body of Lakehead University We regret the ll'eSignation of Mr. Peter Young at such a late date because of the loss of experience. However, we feel that because of the strong disapproval shown by the student body concerning Mr. Young's position as President of the Alma Mater Society, we can now progress with our duties and accomplish the goals we have laid down. Mr. Young's acceptance of a position with a local radio station •is one which should be recognized as a step • towards his post-university career an opportunity that arose at an unfortunate time for us. Nonetheless, his new position must be recognized for its merits. Mr. Young has expressed his willingness to assist the executive in an advisory capacity in the future. Council asks for resignation President has no alternative but to resign The President of the AMS has resigned. Peter Young stated in a letter to the Alma Mater Society last Thunclay that he had no aliemative but to resign hia position as bead of the 1700 students on campus. Wednesday night. Council tabled a motion asking for the President's resignation. the motion to be voted on at emergency meeting Thursday at noon. Council was presented with Mr. Young's resignation when they met Thursday. The discussion that followed was trying on all those present. Mixed feelings towards the wording of the resignation was a major issue. Mr. Young was not In attendance. An insult to Council "Academics are always first in the minds of any student in office," said Science President Don Bergman, and this unwritten rule should stick here also. Unless there is a personal reason for the resignation, I don't think in this case it is valid. The idea of takng another job I woud regard as an insult to this Council." ''We cannot accept this resignation," said Wendy Ticknor. "It is the easy way out. It does not set an example for those who will follow. It is the duty of this Council to stand firm, and to ask for his resignation. We must think of the future." Not what asked for Said Julie Wierzbicki, "The resignation that we have before us is completely opposite to what we want. We should ask for his resignation for the reasons outlined in the motion, not for his reasons. It looks like the presidency will not get him ves:Y far, so it has served its purpose." "It is unfair that Mr. Young is not here to defend himself at this meeting," said Don Cordingly. "But we did give him the opportunity to appear before us. Still" we have to discuss this motion and come up with a solution. Cannot be used as tool "Up until now, resignations have been caused by academic problems - we have averaged one per week in the last few weeks. This resignation of his is a gentleman's way out. Peter is going out in glory. He got our vote of confidence at the first meeting of the year, and has since· shafted the Council and the students. We should go on record as stating that this is no way to get out of office. We cannot allow it (the presidency) to be used as a tool for a person's own tuture." Admitted has not done job "It was my suggestion that Peter did not come to this meeting," said . Vice President Bill Weiler. "I had hoped that his resignation would be accepted. I had hoped that we would not hit upon personalities. He has admitted in a way in his resignation that he has not done the _job." ''The whole point of asking for the resignation is to show that we cannot allow a person to resign on his own will in the middle of the year," said Dave Parsons. Chief Proctor Tom MacLeod said "The first and foremost objective should be to try to set up a good executive." Treasurer Don Lees spoke to Council against the way in which the motion was worded. Mr. Lees noted that, although a person may realize that there are certain responsibilities inherent in the position of AMS President, it is not until one actually gets into office that he can see the extent of the job. Apparently Mr. Young did the job as he saw it, and did it to the best of his ability. Unfortunately what he did was not what the students expected of him. Talked out of resigning before Mr. Lees also noted that Mr. Young had been presented with ultimatums to See page 3 for the letter of resignation a.nd Young's reflections reform his ways several times in the past few months by persons who had confidence in him. They were also concerned for the situation that would be caused if he did not improve. It was further pointed out that the resignation was not put forth on a conflict motive. Not was it due to the constant criticism under which the executive has been subjected in the past. Responsibility to self Mr. Lees pointed to the last. part of the President's letter for the crux of the issue. A man must respect himself to be able to do a good job. Obviously he was not doing the job as he would have liked to have done, and he felt that to do justice to the students and to himself be had to resign. When a man with such a responsibility wants to get out for reasons like these, he should do so. This latest resignation from executive positions leaves only one member of the executive from last spring's election, Don.. ;.._j Lees, Treasurer. Vice President Bill. Weiler was elected in the fall by-election, while Secretary Joan Stewart was elected by Council, in accordance with the AMS Constitution. Weiler assumes post Mr. Weiler will assume duties as President as soon as possible. Council gave him a vote of confidence at the Thursday meeting. A Vice President will be elected by Council at their next meeting. �Page 2 November 23, '1967 THE ARGUS Nemissa NOP club Club Notes Hear Rev.

This confliction, in theory, tends to nullify many conclusions of psychologists in the behaviour pattern field. • Unfortunately the majority of the psychology students see Mr. Wesley as an inanimate machine spouting data processing cards which we interpret as lectures.

Alma Mater Society c/o Mr. Bill Weiler Vice -President Please forward my official resignation to the Alma Mater Society Council. In presenting this resignation to Council, I would ask that you point out the following clarifications. My resignation is not coming forth because of a conflict within the executive nor because I feel that I cannot work with the Council Also, I do not wan~ students to feel that I am resigning because of the constant criticism that is directed toward the AMS executive. Constructive criticism is usually justified and although we haven't seen much of it this year it usually indicates a valuable means for improvement. It should also be made known that I am not resigning because of the motion brought forth in the AMSmeetingofNov. 15th. The reason for the delay in making known my intentions is that I was waiting to see if a motion pertaining to noon-hour meetings would be brought forth. The reason therefore is that I have accepted employment which would make it impossible to attend meetings on week nights. Because of this employment. Idonot feel that I could devote as much time to the office of president as is necessary. I feel that Mr. Weiler can more than adequately head the Council and the executive for the remaining three months. I also contend that more is accomplished outside of meetings. In this regard I will continue to work at anything that the executive feels is important. I submit this resignation with deep regret but feel that I have a responsibilityto myself as well as the students of lakehead University. Sincerely, Peter A, Young In my election platform, my point was better public relations for the student body. I think we have accomplished this. There are other things which have been done so far this year. We have had caution fees abolished. The first contact with the faculty association regarding tutorial work has been made. We have token representation on the Senate and Board of Governors. We are at present planning tl\,e symposium on U n i v e r s i t y government, something which could easily be the greatest thing that has ever happened to this Universicy-. We held the fiirst AMS seminar this fall. And we have caused registration procedure to be revised, subject to student approval. Socially, I can say that this year's frosh week and folk festival were the best so far. We also have a more varied programme laid on than last year. Our blood donor clinic should show the Lakehead, at least in a· minor way, that we are not just a radical group in general but responsible citizens. And we have achieved a cautious high in relations between the AMS and the Administration. But we haven't yet been able to make students aware of student government. The executive positions are important enough that case. This is also why I think by Peter Young students going to Congresses, as told to Chuck Grieve etc., should be those interpeople should be geared for them. This year three of the four elected have resigned since none knew anything about student government. They had to learn in six months what others had learned in two years. I also think that the elections should be run as they are at Queen's. There the executive is elected by the previous year's Council. T)lere is more certainty of getting a good executive this way. I •am in the process of re-organizing my thoughts on s t u d e n t government. What we considered to be dictatorial rule last year, I am now almost convinced, is what is needed around here. And I feel that Council is too big to work with efficiency. Being out of it for a while, I will be able to look objectively at the situation, and to criticize constructively. One of the main things that people running for office are not aware of, is the great amount of time required. Perhaps it is even enough to warrant the sus:pension of classes for a year for the President. And dedication is needed. If a person was to follow the hierarchical steps, then dedication would be there at the start, and not towards the end of August as in my Join the ·Colle,• Crowd! ested, and those willing to put in time the next year. My mind is still not settled over what two former Presidents of Lakehead U. said, that student government seems very important when you are in office, but it seems important only to yourself and not to others when you leave office. It makes me wonder if students really care who and h ow their affairs are handled. ~: The key to success right now may be in a new structure, perhaps along the lines of that used at York. The interested few percent, those known as t¥ left and the radicals, should be in charge of the student government. The ordinary student is there to get a degree and to go to social events. So let him, and let the interested ones :run the show. A system like this would bring o u r student government up to par with the rest of them. Up until now we have been far below them. And this could be the key. I regret leaving office. J(ow I am more confused about student government. its value. and of the minority of persons interested in it than before. & RESEARCl-f dEvElopMENT Everyone gathers at the . ?

We will overcome It takes a lot of guts to admit one's faults, and to get out of the way so that someone else can take over. It is true that Peter Young's resignation had been stalled off for some time. It is true that forces had been working on him for a similar period of time, trying to get him to shape up. And it is t1 ue that neither of these forces ( often the same people) had left any impression on the lion's brow. But no one acted when the results de.-. mantled were not forthcoming. No one knew how to act. And still no one knows how to cope with a situation such as this latest one. What Council was looking for at their emer- • gency meeting was blood. They wanted a crucifixion of a personality, not a resignation, as the original motion called for. The Council wanted to bury the old ways with the purge of but one actor from the cast. But what they proved themselves incapable of seeing, as they have time and again, is that the purge, to be effective, must get rid of all the dead wood. And they are a part of it. . COMMITTEES MUST BE USED If the rot is so widespread as it would appear to be to the casual observer ( and they are in plentitude at Lakehead), then there must be reasons for it, ancl similarly solutions. The AMS Council works on a committee system. But they do not. They appear to meet together on Wednesday nights to argue over the little points which should have been ironed out in their committees. In fact, at times they vote against their committees' decisions. To function properly in this system, everyone cannot have both hands and both feet in all the pies at the same time. The committees must be given more authority, and greater confidence in their decisions. EXPERIENCE IS THE TUTOR But the committee system works well only when there are people on the individual bodies who have had some experience. And Lakehead has a problem of inexperience or ineligibility among aspirants for positions. The prime example is the Engineering faculty, where members take only one year here if they are successful. And if they are experienced but unsuccessful, they are ineligible, due to the academic ruling. The only solution - and it has been achieved to some extent this year-is to mix the experience liberally with the inexperience in hopes that the resultant blend will be a winner. This we have potentially this year, if Council would only use the committees more. CONTACT ESSENTIAL But Council is not alone in its shame. Representatives cease to represent anyone but themselves if they lose touch with their electorate. It is very debatable who should keep the channels of communication openthe councillors or the student body. It is our belief that when Council operates efficiently, those involved on one end do not have the time to be fully involved on the other end as well. So the onus is back on the ordinary student -on the one who is not in any way involved. It is this student who is kicking in the spokes of the whole wheel. And it is this student who is 1he ultimate source of the rot apparent in Council. Perhaps student government is too large and abstract a concept for most students to grasp. After all, they have completed only 13 years in a system which revels in preaching these gems of abstrusion. Then there aie those who become restless after they have sat through the firs't hour of a Council meeting. To these people we say, Chief Justice Baumann was great at the last meeting. And to the Council we say, if you do not keep him as Chairman, you need your heads examined. PERPETUATION THE TOP PRIORITY But by far the greatest problem faced is that of perpetuation. If a system is a good one, one of the characteristics will be this training of successors. Tocheri was the product of just such a programme. But he failed to set another one up, perhaps because he wanted those who followed to see just how great he had been, and to wish him back again. Peter Young was the unfortunate victim of this oversight. And he has suffered, and he has not done the job. Both these past two presidents have been asked to resign by Council. Only one, the ungroomed one, went. We contend that our system is a good one. Therefore it must be perpetuated. Forget the old line of "everyone has a chance" -it is not true. You only have a chance if you are willing to give it all you have. And if you really want to know what is going on, then find out. If you do not like what is happening. get in and change it. AMS means you, not the councillors. You elected them. Through them, you run the show. -cg. Bill Weiler, AMS President letter to the editor Sir: I came across a copy of your paper while attending night classes at the University of Toronto. I was impressed by an article on Technocracy written by Mr. William Sheridan. I have been in contact with Technocracy from time to time through my life and I am glad that at least some of our youth are interested in finding a solution to the many problems . facing our society. For some time it has appeared strange to me that all levels of government, business and the private sector of society are all going into debt at an ever increasing rate and we still call it prosperity. We have the spectre of the American government drafting 30,000 men a month to solve its unemployment problem and shipping $80 million worth of goods and services out to Viet Nam to solve the problem of overproduction. The National endeavour to keep everybody working is creating more and more useless jobs, more •and more pollution, more and more waste and a greater and greater incidence of mental problems. It would -appear to me that finding ways to do away with jobs, creating a more equitable distribution system for' goods and services and reducing th e amount of waste would be far more intelligent than the method of operation used at present. However, I am aware that when we live in a society -where the prime motivation is to turn natural resources into dollars, and the more we waste the more profit we make, conditions can only deteriorate at an ever increasing rate. Therefore if Mr. Sheridan would be kind enough to send me some literature and information on how to join this organization c a 11 e d Technocracy I would like to assist in the work of informing my friends and acquaintances of the approaching collapse of the ;>resent form of North American society and the alternative offered by a scientific and technological solution to our problems. Yours truly, Walter G. ,Spademan just a modest, unbiased suggestion by Ron Perry "Old men start wars; young men fight them." Although this has become a cliche, it is, nonetheless, very true today. In years gone by, the young men ran like dogs when their elders whistled for them to fight the wars they had started. Only this generation seems to have found the nerve to say, "No;" to the master's voice. The results ot this refusal can be seen almost any evening in the newcasts on tele-vision. DRAFT THE AGED Last night, while throwing darts at a picture of L.B.J., I chanced on a solution to the whole problem. Since the middle - agers started this war and since the polls show that they are the ones in favor of continuing it, why not let them fight it? Instead of dragging reluctant youths overseas, why not gather together the aging remnants of the Second World War (they never let us forget it, do they?) and let them be heroes all over again. BREAK THE MONOTONY This isn't as radical as it first appears. The average middle-ager faced with a boring job, selfish kids, a 30-year mortgage, and a fat wife with hair curlers and halitosis, would probably jump at the chance to grab a gun and play soldier again. Why not let him get his jollies like this instead of forcing him to gain his only excitement f r o m reading Junior's Playboy (w hi I e Junior's out getting the real thing) or by leering at teenyboppers in miniskirts? This would leave the young free to enjoy the things only they can enjoy without the oldies looking on, outwardly condemning but secretly envying. ECONOMICALLY SOUND And from a cold financial viewpoint, this would be profitable also. A man of 20 has 45 productive years ahead. These of course are lost if he is killed. A middle-ager, who's going to croak in a f e w years anyway does not represent anywhere near such a loss. These are the advantages of this proposal, and since this is obviously biased, I won't go into the Qisadvantages. So, how about it, Lyndon? Why not start drafting the heart attack and ulcer set. Drag the execs. from their offices and the working slobs from the beer parlors and leave • us young ones with our long-haired honeys and Hondas. You have nothing to lose. We won't go anyway! �November 23, '1967 THE ARGUS Page S- The McGill Daily affair - cont'd from page 1 Don Colbome It is undoubtedly this kind of argument, applied to the Principal publicly through newspaper and pamphlets, and, one can assume, privately, which led to the change in the wording of the char~, avoiding the "obscene libel" question entirely. FREEDOM OF THE PRESS The second issue which cropped up was freedom of the press. At the first level one had to determine if the Daily editors were to have newspaper policy dictated by either student council or the administration. On this subject Principal H. Rocke Robertson told student council Nov. 6: "Editorial freedom does not mean the right to be unaware of consequences. And if these consequences seem to bring the university's good name into disrepute, then the authorities must take whatever action is necessary to see that the university is protected and to bring any serious breach to the attention of the whole university community." He then, felt the ultimate responsibility rests with the administration. This is contrary to the Charter of the student press in Canada, which states; Whereas freedom of the This column continues the series on the issues underlying the student power debate. It will attempt to touch upon the question of- what philosophy of education should be adopted to deal with present and future university needs. Unfortunately, there are as many philosophies of education as there are philosophers; and as there are educators. Every society and every period of history has evolved a distinct set of educational ideas and it would be pointless, let alone impossible, to outline them here. It would also be impossible to suggest precisely what philosophy is operating here and now, for there are obviously at least several. I shall attempt instead to challenge three basic hypotheses regarding university which have apparently coloured almost ~very recent philosophy. They deal with the purpose, organization, and responsibilities of the institution. Initially, it has always been supposed that the university continues the acculturaliiing process begun in the~ home and previous schooling, and demanded by S()ciety as a whole. A ~ce at any text in, for example, Political Science or Social Thought reveals that the university continues to do an effective job in this area. But should it? Many such courses are nothing more than warmed-over middle-class-orientated apologies for the status quo. McLuhan might not have it all figured out but his "global village" concept contains a great deal of very immediate truth, and it seems particularly absurd in the present day to continue training apologists for our own comer of the village, and narrow critics who mistrust and misunderstand the rest of it. It is long past the time students stopped being acculturalized and started to become DEculturalized. As Dr. M. Lewis of Sir student press h a • been George Williams University recently put it: "When we see our students displaying certain dissatisfaction with our universities, • its because they find them irrelevant to the world." Another supposition which has been common to most educational philqsophies is that the student must be coerced into achieving. Recent psxchological studies and dozens of experimental schools have illustrated that this is a myth of the Santa Claus variety, convenient and venerable, but not true. Students produce as well or even better when they are not under threat, yet here at Lakehead, students MUST attend lectures, submit papers, take specific courses, etc., etc. In this sense Paul Goodman calls the university student the most significant group of the modern "dispossessed," and an American professor writing in Esquire magazine claims that the sooner students realize they are treated as "niggers" the better off they will be. One of the stock excuses offered by the defenders of our universities (incidentally there are very few even within the system who deny that grave problems exist) is that they are dependent upon the community, and particularly the corporations, for financial support and cannot sanction anything which might threaten that support. John Galbraith, however, in his new book "The Modem Industrial State" asserts that the universities are being all too slow in discovering that the corporations are far more dependent upon them than they are on the corporations. The university can take as independent a role as it chooses when it realizes this fact. It is clear then that the traditional ideas regarding not only the universities' purpose, but its organization and responsibilities That's one of many are becoming rapidly obsolescent. The university cannot continue exciting and rewarding "lecturing on navigation while the ship goes down." careers in the field of Next week: J::he Purpose of the University. INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT ?

But Council, at a Wednesday council meeting agreed to have the judicial committee determine if the Daily "acted in bad faith" in printing the article. A new issue, bad faith, had been created, to be drawn in true red herring fashion across the whole affair. THE FINAL ISSUE The final issue - what is it? The faculty tried to answer this question in a huge open forum Friday. Prof. Charles Taylor vaguely suggested two distinct •issues: The Daily affair, and student autonomy in them- own affairs. But few others were able to face issues even this squarely. The issues will continue this week and next, with no end in sight. The total effect on the McGill campus has been to thoroughly confuse most people at all levels of the university with varying interpretations of the various• events. It is not possible to conclude at this point that any order at all will emerge from the McGill chaos - just new issues, or new interpretations of old ones. MORE CRESTED GLASSWARE I. u. bookstore �Page 6 Students are niggers. When you get that straight, our schools begin to make sense. It's more important, though, to understand why they're niggers. If we follow that question seriously, it will lead us· past the zone of academic bullshit, where dedicated teachers pass their knowledge on to a new generation, and into the nltty-gdtty of human needs and hangups. From there we can go on to consider whether it might ever «>e possible for students to come up from slavery. First, look at the role students play in what we like to call education. At Cal State where I teach, the _ students have separate and unequal dining facilities. If I bring a student into the faculty dining room, my colleagues get uncomfortable, as though there were a bad smell. If I eat in the student cafeteria, I become known as the educational equivalent of a ''nig1erlover". In at least one building there are even rest rooms which students may not use. Also there is an unwritten law barring student-faculty lovemaking. Fortunately, this. anti-miscegenation law, like its Southern counterpart, is not 100.per cent effective. CHOOSE HOMECOMING QUEEN Students at Cal State are politically disenfranchised. They are in an academic 'Lowndes County. Most of them can vote in national elections - their average age is about 26 - «iut they have no voice in the decisions which affect their academic lives. The students are, it is true, allowed to have a toy government of their own. It is a government run, for the most part, by Uncle Toms, concerned principally with trivia. The faculty and administrators decide what courses will be offered; the students get to choose their own Homecoming Queen. Occasionally, when student leaders . get uppity and rebellious, they're either ignored, put off with trivial conces&ions, or maneuvered expertly out of position. A student at Cal State is expected to know bis place. He calls a faculty member "Sir" or "Doctor'' or "Professor' and he smiles and shuffles some as he stands outside the professor!s office waiting for permission to enter. The faculty tell him what courses to take (in my department, English, even el~ves ..., have to be approved by a faculty member); they tell him what to read, what to write, and ,frequently, where to set the margins on his typewriter. They- tell him what's true and what isn't. Some teachers insist that they encourage dissent but they're almost always jiving and evfry student knows it. Tell The Man what he wants to hear or he'll fall you. ~en a teacher says "jump" studen~ jump. I know of one professor who refused to take up class time for exams and required students to show up for tests at 6:30 in the mornh\g. And they did, by God I Another, at exam time, ,provides answer cards to be filled out - each one enclosed in a paper bag with a hole cut in the top to see through. Students stick their writing hands in the bags while t.aJdng the test. The teacher isn't a provo; I wu,b he were. He does it to prevent cheating. Another ~lleague once caught i:.. a student reading during one of his lectures and threw her book against 'the wall. SWl another Jee. tures his students into a stupor and then screams at them in rage when they fall aaleep. CWS IS NOT DISMISSED I During the first meeting of a class, one girl got up to .leave after about ten minutes had gone by. The teacher rushed over, grabbed her by the arm, saying "This class is not dismissed I" and led her back. to her seat. On the same •fay another teacher began by informing his class that he does not like beards, m1.19taches, long hair on boys, or capri pants on girls, and November THE ARGUS will not tolerate any of that in his class. The class, incidentally, consisted md'stly of high school teachers. Even more discouraging than this Auschwitz approach to education is the fact that the students take it. They haven•~ gone through twelve years of public school for nothing. They've learned one thing and perhaps only one thing during those twelve years. They've forgotten their algebra. They're hopelessly vague about chemistry and physics. They've grown to fear and resent literature. "nley write like they've betn lobotomized. I.But, Jezus, can they follow orders I Freshmen come up to me with an essay and ask if I want it folded and whether their name shqµld obe in the upper right hand comer. And I want to cry and kid them and caress th~ir poor, tortured heads. Students don't ask that orders make sense. They ·give up expecting things to make sense long before they leave elementary school. Things are true because the teacher says they're true. At a very early age we all learn to accept "two truths," as did certain medieval churchmen. Outside of class, things are true to your tongue, your finger, your stomach, your heart. Inside class, things are true by reason of authority. And that's just fine because you don't care anyway. !Miss Wiedemeyer tells you a noun is a person, place or thing. So let it be. You don't give a rat's ass; she doesn't give a rat's ass. SIRENS AND A RAfflE OF BULLETS The important thing is to please her. Back in kindergarten, you found out that teachers only love children who stand in nice straight lines. And that's where it's been at ever since. Nothing chan1es except to get worse. School becomes more and more obviously a prison. Last year I spoke to a student assembly at Manual IArts mgh -~oot and tlren couldn't get out of the goddamn school. I mean there was no way out. Locked doors. High fences. One of the inmates was trying to make it over a fence when he saw me coming and froze in panic. •For a moment, I expected sirens, a rattle of bullets, and him clawing the fence. 'lben there's the infamous "code of dress." In some high schools, if your skirt looks too short, you have to kneel before the principal, in a brief alleg01'1' of fellatio. If the hem doesn't reach the floor. you go home to change while he, presumably, jacks off. Boys in high school can't be too sloppy and they can't be too sharp. You'd think the school board would be delighted to see all the spades troophig to school in poinn, shoes, suits, ties and stingy brims. Uh-uh. They're too visible. What school amounts to, then, for wntte and black kids alike, is a 12-year course in how to ibe slaves. What else could explain what I see in a freshman class ? They've got that slave mentality; obliging and ingratiating on the surface but ,hostile and resfstent underneath. Like black slaves, students vary in their awareness of what's going on. Some recognize their own put-on for what it is and even let their rebellion break through to the surface now and then. Othersincluding most of the "good students" - have been more deeply brainwashed. They swallow the bullshit with gr~y mouths. They honest-to-God believe in grades, in busy work, in general education requirements. They're pathetically eager to be pushed around. They're like those old grey-headed house. niggers you can still find in the South who don't see what all the fuss is about because Mr. Charlie "treats us real good." 0 THEY CHEAT A LOT College entrance requirements .tend to favor the Toms and screen· out the rebels. Not entirely, of course. Some students at Cal State are expert con 23, ·1967 by Jerry Farber Farber teaches English in Los Angeles. artists who know perfectly well what's happening. They want the degree and spend their years on the old plantation alternately laughing and cursing as they play the game. If .t heir egos are strong enough, they cheat a lot. And, of course, even the Toms are angry down deep somewhere. But it comes out in passive rather than active aggression. They're unexplainably thick-witted and subject to frequent spells of laziness. They misread simple questions. Theyspend their nights mechanically outlining history chapters while meticulously failing to comprehend a word of what's in· front of them. The saddest cases among both black slaves and student slaves are the ones who have so thoroughly introjected their masters' values that their anger is all turned inward. At Cal State these are the kids for whom every low grade is torture, who stammer and. shake when they speak to a professor. They go through an emotional crisis every time they're called upon during class. You can recognize them easily at finals time.

At a time when even migrant workers have begun to fight and win, college professors are still afraid to make more than a token effort to .improve their pitiful economic status. l'n California state colleges the faculties are screwed regularly and vigorously by the governor and legislature and yet they still won't offer any solid resistance. They lie flat on their stomachs with their pants down, mumbling catchphrases like "professional dignity'• and "meaningful dialogue."

Stillness reigns. rm not sure why teachers are so chickenshit._ It could be that academic training itself forces a split between thought and action. It might also be that the tenured security of a teaching job attracts timid persons who are unsure of themselves and need weapons and other external trappings of authority. At any rate, teachers are short on balls. And, as Judy Einstein has eloquently pointed out, the classroom offers an artificial and protected environment in which they can exercise their will to power. Your neighbors may drive a better car; gas station attendants may intimidate you, your wife may dominate you; the state legislature may shit on you; but in the classroom, by God, students do what you sayor-else.

MAKE THEM WILLING SLAVIS RESPECT FOR AUTHORITY The general timidity which causes teachers to make niggers of their students usually includes a more specific fear-fear of the students themselves. After all, students are different, just like black people. You stand exposed in front of them, knowillg that their interests, their values and their language are different from yours. To make matters worse, you may suspect that you yourself are not the most engaging person. What then can protect you from their ridicule and scorn ? Respect for authority. That's what. It's the policeman's gun again. The white ,bwana's pith helmet. So you•flaunt that authority. You wither whisperers with a murderous glance. You crush objectors with erudition and heavy irony. And, worst of all, you make your own attainments seem not accessible but awesomely remote. You conceal your massive ignorance - and parade a slendor learning. Finally, there's the darkest reason of all for the master-slave approach· to education.

Ifs not that sexuality has no place in tlie classroom. You'll find it there but only in certain perverted and vitiated forms. PERVERSION IS INTELLECTUAL How does sex show up in school?

This statement, in reference to Vietnam, would scarcely be newsworthy coming from most sources. It sounds like one of the everincreasing number of voices decrying the American actions in Vietnam. VOICE FROM THE CLOISTERS This voice, however, is different. It comes from Rev. Ray Hord, Secretary of the Board of Evangelism and Social Service of the United Chwrch. Coming from the spokesman for an institution with the amazing (and disgusting) record for social apathy that Appolon #1 - . -f ::::r (I BREAKFAST SPECIAL (') ........ 0 (I (I Appolon #2 Bacon and Eggs, Toast and Jam, or 1 of 4 other selections 7 A.M. - 10 A.M. 50c (') c CT Bird's Restaurant ·-.

The U n it e d Church, while one of the more "liberal" churches, has for years followed a pallid, "me too" policy on almost all social issues. VIiEWS OPPOSED While Rev. Hord has met a good deal of opposition from within the church regarding his views - and he does not speak for all members of his church by any means - he is representative of a phenomenon which has appeared in the church in recent months, called The New Evangelism. T hi s amounts to an ecclesiastic version of the "generation gap." The young radical voices in most churches are fed up with the namby-pamby attitudes that their institutions have taken to social issues in the past. They feel that the churches, as keepers of the public morals, as it were, should take a long look at their attitudes. POSITIVE ACTION What are the actions taken up by these dedicated young men? Protesting the Vietnam situation is only one course, albeit a central and vital one. The others include agitation for liberalization of the abortion laws, education in birth control, civil rights, and many others. OLD CHURCH TREMBLES SOUL 4. SPAN AIO SIMPSON ST.

Poli.,.ical, l-lish,ricol ; Li...._, GIA~ TS What does the "older generation" in the cnurches have to say about all of this. The statement by United Church Moderator W. C. Lockhart, that Rev. Hord "commits the church to Tigid positions_, making manoeuverability difficult," very nearly typifies the attitude of the establishment in most churches. They dread being forced to take any kind of meaningful stand on an issue of social importance. They have dissociated the churches from the society they serve so that the church is largely irrevelent to the lives of most of today's young people. The New Evangelists feel, and perhaps rightly so, that churches must rejoin society, and soon, or they will cease to exist. "GET RELEVANT" The New Evangelism, as a reflection of the attitudes and values of North American youth in general, is delivering a sort of "get relevant or else" ultimatum to the establishment of all churches. In all respects it puts the churches in a position of uncertainty in the minds of the youth, making the churches' overall position in society unstable. The onus is now on the churches to reform, and to do it fast. They have a great potential for positive social action, but an equally great record for apathy so far. A liberal dose of social conscience is in order in their official policy, and soon, or the churches will wither and die under the weight of their own inertia. And the youth will shed no tears.

If you are bugged about parking, t h e academic atmosphere, student rights, cafeteria food and so on, do something. Don't worry about the ultimate success of your actions. If your cause is right, in your own opinion, then act on it. DEMOCRATIC REPRESENTATION We, through our present associations, and they, on their own initiative, ,hould work towards making representative bodies autonomous. They are, at present, subject to the Board of Governors as is their "legislation." If we are to attain "a community of scholars," this autonomy is essential. These are just a few suggestions. The Declaration of the Canadian Student offers many possibilities for more students. If we read it, discuss it, and use it, then we can make if.work. Education is a contributive social process, the essence of which is an expanding awareness of man's social and natural environment through dialogue and cooperative intellectual effort. The principal goal of education is to serve society by developing the full potential of all citizens as free, creative, thinking and acting human beings and therefore to serve society by helping to achieve equality of the essential conditions of human living. The student must discover, examine and assimilate the knowledge of his environment and must develop the ability to cope with and transform it. The Canadian Student has the right and duty to improve himself as a social being and to contribute -to the development of society by: b) learning by sharing his perceptions and thoughts with his fellow citizens and constructively criticizing theirs; c) engaging in fundamental action, as an individual or in a group, to confront society with discoveries and to promote consequent action to bring reforms into practice; d) playing a full part in the life of the community as a citizen. MEMORIAL at ONTARIO • PROCESSING ? The Canadian Student, as a full member of the academic community and society, has the right and duty to participate in shaping an environment conducive to the accomplishment of these aims and to make basic decisions about the conditions and nature of his intellectual activity and the goals served by educational institutions. The student has the duty to assure that the educational system is accessible and democratic so that it will serve the interests of the whole society. The Canadian Student has the right to be free to continue his education without any material, economic, social or psychological barriers, created by the absence of real equality of essential condition. of WHEREAS the Declaration of the Canadian Student, and all of the programs and policies of the members of the Canadian Union of Students are meaningful and effective only to the extent that they are understood and supported by the largest possible number of Canadian students.

Politicians cater to student needs and a great many of the active social movements are supported or run by students. In short, we are a distinct group. Now, distinct group, what does this Declaration mean to you? The Declaration states that "education is a contributive process" which expands your awareness of your environment. This cannot be denied, even by the lower cafeteria card players. Any new contact with a human being must produce an educational reaction of some sort. And that is what education is about. It is questionable that the "goal of education" is to serve society in any way. That may be society's purpose in having educational institutions and the systems they seem to entail. But it does not follow that the goal of education is in sympathy. The goal of education is too individual to be confined by such a definition. It is in fact, the "education" of the individual. This is one of the few points where the Declaration falls down. It smells of appeasement. With this phrase it can be acceptable to society and is in line with our "obligation orientated" ~ay of life.

From the free throw line the Nor'Westers made 9 of 20 while the Kentuckians made 11 of 21, both rather poor marks. In the rebounding department the Nor'Westers led 66 to 51 over the Kentuckians. For Lakehead University it was Holmstrom with 22 and for Dinty's it was Love with' 20. Coach Birger was high in his praise of the Lakehead University squad, feeling that except for early season wrinkles his team played well. The freshman appear to be moulding with the veterans indicating a fine season for the Nor'Wester hoopsters. OLIVER ROAD ESSO SERVICE ED CLIFF For au ,_.

Marie, Ontario and to the Soo, Michigan, to take on teams from two different schools over the past weekend. The basketball team played the Caats from Cambrian College, while the hockey team met the Superior State College Lakers, across the border. Saturday saw the basketballers fall to the Caats by a score of 52 - 48. The Nor'Westers were led by Don Holmstrcm's 26 points, followed by Jim Johnston with 11. The Nor'Westers were cold both from the field and from the free throw line, netting 19 of 71 shots from the field and 11 of 21 from the foul line. In the second game, the Nor'Westers jumped into the lead after five minutes and never looked back. Again it was Holmstrom who led the team with 20 points. Johnston and Koski each netted 11 points, with Cameron following clo&'ely with 10. The hockey team, defending I.C.H.A. Champions, were twice defeated by the Soo Michigan Lakers. Scores were 9 - 4 and 8 - 6. The Lakers wasted no time in the first g~e as they jumped ·to a 3 - 1 lead in the first period. The second game started the same way as the host team jumped to a 5 - 1 first period lead. The Nor'Westers came back in the second to match the score 5 - 5, and out-shot the Lakers 14 - 4 in the final period, but were out-scored 3 - 1 in that frame. Murray Smith led the L.U. squad with a total o:t six goals atld two assists, followed by Dave Siciliano with five assists, • and Dwight Stirrett, with one goal and three assists. • Coach Akervall attributed the losses to better conditioning on the part of the Lakers. "The fact that we are limited to three hours of practise a week as compared to their team's ten is definitely going to hurt us in these early games," he said. Rhythmic gymnastics programme to start As an introduction to R h y t h m i c Gymnastics, I asked Mrs. Jutta Dusang of the Athletic Department to explain just what this type of gymnastics was. After her explanation, which follows, she went on to say that the programme will start immediately and that 30 persons have signed at the Athletic Office. Rhythm descends from the Greek language and means uninterrupted movement involving changes of tension and relaxation. Rhythmic Gymnastics is movement executed in time, space energy and form. Time - the slow through to fast. Space - the narrow, the wide, the deep, md the high. Energy - the strength, the bending and stretching. Form - the line, the circle. Every emotion is expressable by a movement, every movement creates an impression. The basic movements of Rythmic Gymnastics are: walking, running, jumping, skipping, and turning, timed by a given rhythm. We use instruments such as balls, hoops, and clubs for greater variation and for distracting our minds from the actual effort. For example, fitness. Take a hoop, push it across the· gym running along with it. You certainly will notice the effort of the exercise less than running without a hoop. Example two, flexibility. Sit on the floor with straight legs and knees, then touc:ti your toes. It hurts doesn't it? Now take a ball and roll it around the sh-etched out legs, but watch that your ball does not escape your hands! Example three, grace. Imagine having to walk by an audience which is critically watching every step you take. You most probably are tense and over-selfconscious. Now take a club, put it on your head, hold it w'i.th one hand and you will walk proudly and gracefully, like a Spanish Senorita. In practicing Rhythmj.c Gymnastics we tone the muscles, develop body fitness and flexibility. Through specific exercises we correct the posture, learn about relaxation and self-control, a'nd build up organic strength by means of respiration. sAlEs MANAGEMENT ?

Reagan said he made the declaration at the request of Alameda county sheriff Frank Madigan and administration president Charles J. Hitch in order to make state highway patrolmen available on a continuous basis to help maintain "law and order" on the campus. Edwin Meese, Reagan's executive secretary, said the number of highway patrolmen who will be available "is a matter best left for the dissidents to speculate on." Meese said highway patrolmen can assist local police at any time but a state of emergency must be declared to make them available on a continuous campuse.s of its university as basis. well as all other educational He said a state of emergeninstitutions. cy was not declared at San "I just feel we have come Francisco State because local to the end of the road in depolice were able to deal with pending on local law enforcethe disorders with only occament," he added.

Martin Loney to speak tomorrow CUS President-elect, Martin Loney, arrives at Lakehead University tomorrow. He will be speaking in the University Center Theater at 12:30. Loney, was elected at the 1968 CUS Congress in Guelph to be the 1969-70 President. Previous to this he was Stu· dent Union president at Simon Fraser University in B.C. During his presidency at SFU the first serious confrontation between the administration and students and Faculty occurred. This fol- Will walk across N. W. Territories A disillusioned Vietnam veteran from Detroit stopped by the Lakehead last week on his way to the Northwest Territories, where he plans to walk 671 miles on snowshoes. "I'm going to put me against nature and see who win s ," commented Tony Lenzini, a 29-year-old veteran who is unalterably opposed to the war. When asked why he was undertaking this expedition, Lenzini replied, "no reason," but proceeded to outline some of the discontent which drove him to the decision. "There is a natural instinct in man to destroy that which offends him," he commented. He added that in Vietnam "I got pleasure from killing because I was superior." During his 13 month tour in Vietnam he was awarded the Purple Heart and the Distinguished Service Cross "for killing 63 persons." Lenzini said about 20% of the American soldiers are staying in Vietnam "because they are poor and white. They kill because the enemy is yellow-or inferior." He found conditions at home similar. ''In Detroit, to be superior is the thing. Money talks." "What can you do to change it? Nothing." "People power we will never have because we have created a monster. It's called bureaucracy." "I found out that money is the only thing that cbunts. You can't do anything without money." To illustrate what can be done with money, Lenzini pointed to the Vietnam conflict, observing that General Electric sold materials for making guns to North Vietnam. Lenzini said his 671 mile walk was "not a protest o"F1 any sort." Christianity, bureaucracy, and Marxism by Ahti Tolvanen There is a difference between believing and living which seems to elude most members in the large social establishments today • but not Father Labossiere. ''With increasing numbers, organization leads to power; two powers with different ideas leads to a clash." Thus the increase in size of the traditional university structure hats led to the phenomenon of Student Power in reaction to "bureaucratic" power because universities have always been by nature divided and not homogenous. ''I think students are frustrated with not being considered personally but only as contributing to finances and so on. They have a basic desire for participation." These bureau. cratic structures, like a machine, ''make humans feel too much reduced to specific roles; denied primary relations." What is the matter with complex organizat· ions as long as they are rational? "When society becomes complex", says the Father, "relations become secondary." Institutions in such societies "are unChristian indirectly by the fact that they are not civilized enough." The most serious problem facing mankind today: "lack of man in fullfilling his potentialities • really that is what sin is." "We are not using enough rationality in mastering the physical environment. We are using science for softening man. Physical comfort is (just) a part of happiness." "Intellectual pursuits can lead to a greater happiness for mankind but the rational approach is never really satisfactory. Finally we depend on faith." If so, can there ever be real compatibility between Marxist and Christian Viewpoints? "Maybe in part." Communal Christian life can be very much like socialism. "Not in the general view of the nature and aim of man. Compatibility between Marxism and Christianity is impossible as far as the actual ideology goes." Would this also apply to the student movement? "This seems to be a phenomena of reaction to powers to build other powers." People form into groups out of a sense of inadequacy or fear. "If you're a worker and not in a union, you're not much • the business men have to have associations too." And what is the role of the church? "The church can renew the appeal that the individual is something too, that is, to restore the dignity and brotherhood of mankind." Are not the tenns in which the Church expresses its mission such as God and Christ basically contradictory to this purpose·because they are not human? "God in the overall Christian viewpoint is personal, living being. In Christ, God took human nature to express his concern for man." At this point Father Labossiere had to board the plane back to Winnipeg, where he is an instructor in Sociology at St. Boniface College. He was a visitor in Lakehead Sociology classes Feb. 4 and Feb. 5 speaking on "Christian Conceptsions of Society and Related Problems." Labossier gained his MA in Sociology at, the University of Montreal after combining the careers of priest ~d journalist for several years in Manitoba. He also has Licentiates in Theology anq Philosophy.

As he went on about the problems of American universities, 10 members of the Toronto Student Movement rushed the stage and enacted a spontaneous playette about the arrest of Mario Savio, student leader of the Berkeley Free Speech Movement in 1964. There was a struggle for the mike while Kerr shouted: "I can only be impressed by the extraordinary efforts that people have made to make me feel that I've never left Berkeley." Kerr was administration president at Berkeley when Savio was arres.ted during the crisis there. As the mike passed around from hand to hand and the audience rose shouting at the TSM people and Kerr, Bissell finallyqwieted everything down when he yelled: "We've had enough fascism for this evening." The TSM people agreed to allow Kerr 15 minutes speaking time in exchange for rebuttal after he finished. Andy Wernick, a graduate student, thc:n spoke for the radicals. He made clear from the onset that it was not Kerr personally that he was attacking but rather the system Kerr represented, the one "being imposed" on the University of Toronto. After talking about the university as a sector of society that must resix>nd to the demands of progressive forces in that society, Wernick said peopie like Kerr were bureaucrats whose function it was to reduce tension and conflict. He called Kerr's function" counter-insurgency."

The Canadian Union of Students is a number of things - a national voice for the university students of ,Canada, a service organization for students, and a resource center for the individual student associations across Canada.. Okay, that is what CUS does, but who is CUS? CUS is simply us - a union of university students, who through our student councils send delegates to a national congress every summer to elect a national executive. The executive in tum hires a support staff which together with the executive administers CUS policy. Let's look more closely at what CUS does. Just what kind of national voice, what services, what resources. National Voice The Canadian Union of Students is the national voice - and the only one - for university students in dealings with other organizations such as the Federal government, the Canadian Association of University Teachers, the Association of Universities and Colleges, and national labour organizations. This is where some of the disagreement with CUS lies. Some students feel that the national voice of CUS does not represent them. These students are generally in disagreement with some specific CUS policies. However, the alternative is no national student voice and is that a real alternative? Because of the Ottawa base of CUS the national executive can be in contact with the government regarding such matters as student loans, housing, employment, problems of foreign students and grants to universities. Some question the effectiveness of these contacts. However, the facts seem to indicate that contact does ex,.ist, and some is better than none. Service Organization One of the functions of the Canadian Union of Students is to provide services for students. Two examples of these services are the CUS Life Plan and the CUS Travel Plan. . The CUS Life Plan provides low cost life insurance to students of universities which belong to CUS. This plan is operated by the C~n~dian Premier Life Insurance Company of Winnipeg. The CUS Travel Plan Charters flights (at low cost) for Europe and also Asian flights. The charters are open to all students of univerS1t1es belonging to CUS. There are a nu'!lber _o f posters on the travel plan around the university. Another service being investigated is the possibilityofaCar Insurance plan for students. Resource Center A major purpose of CUS is to act as a resource center for the student associations Regional CUS fieldworkers visit the univer: sities to provide communication between campuses and to advise student leaders. Don Kossick, Prairie fieldworker, has visited Lakehead a number of times during the year. Another way in which CUS acts as a resource center is by preparation of educational social and political publications. This ·i~ ~other area where there is some disagreement with CUS. However, a point to remember is that the~e papers do not necessarily represent CUS policy as many are prepared as a basis for discussion and information. The National Council , which meets four times a year, is also a resource center in that it is a means of communicating between campuses. Lakehead has a representative, Missi Powell on this council. Now for a brief look at the summer CUS Congress, specifically the 1968 Congress in Guelph. This brings us to the question of why the referendum? Six delegates from Lakehead reported to council in September on the CUS Congress. One in his report asked for a referendum on Lakehead's membership in CUS. A number of councillors did not like what they had hearcl through the public mass media about the resolutions passed at the Congress. Others felt the price of $1 per student was too high. The result was a welcoming of a referendum. Council then started debating the resolutions themselves. They accepted the Declaration of the Canadian Student, but rejected several resolutions which seemed consistent with this statement. Four councillors resigned. Declaration !he ~sis of the Canadian Union of Students policy 1s the Declaration of the Canadian Student. This declaration begins "Education is a contributive social process, the essence of which is an expanding awareness of man's social and nat~ral _environment through dialogue and cooperative mt~lle~tual effort. The principal goal ?f education 1s to serve society by developing the full potential of all citizens as free, creative, thinking and acting human beings and . therefore. to serve society by helping to achieve equality of the essential conditions of human living. The student must discover exa~ine and assimilate the knowledge of hi~ envuonment and must develop the ability to cope and transform it." Fr<;>m this declaration, which is printed in ful~ ~n the lobby of the University Center Building, the CUS Congress passed resolutions on The Student in Society, Student Power, Educational Resolutions, and CUS Structure. In the section on The Student in Society, the <;:ongr~ss passed ~esolutions condemning Amencan mvolvement in the Vietnamese war condemning the invasion of Czechoslavakia' supporti1;1g the rights of women, the lowering of the voting ~ge, legalization of marijuana. In the section on Student Power, resolutions dealing with the decision-making process both at the departmental and Senate levels were passed. One of the calls was for openness of all meetings. In the Education section resolutions were pa~se~~ealingwith the _University and Society, S~1ent1f1c Research, Financing of the University, Course Content and Control, and the Student Outside the Classroom. Peter McCormack, AMS President, sums up the CUS issue, "It is imperative that the CUS referendum be taken seriously. Students should concern themselves with the issues. The issues are that we need a national student union to maintain communications between universities across Canada, and that CUS has at least a responsibility to stimulate interest and discussion on social and political change even if we don't particularly agree with the alternatives that they present on certain specific issues." New cafeteria manager You 'II find the newest, loveliest, most modern diamond ring styles Gude leaves cafeteria job Bob Gude has left. After 2½ years as cafeteria manager at Lakehead, Gude has decided to seek another position. Versa Foods, who service both cafeterias at Lakehead, had decided to transfer Gude to Toronto. Gude stated "the supervisor from Winnipeg was not happy about how well I was getting along with the students. He wanted me to be more business like." Gude also felt that some of the administration were "uptight'' about his personal life. Gude has helped to make many of the University's functions a success by preparing show piece smorgasbords and dinners. He is presently employed by the Nor-Shor Motor Hotel. "Eventually I will go down to the Lowry Hotel in St. Paul in a public relations position." When asked if Versa Foods is serving the University well, Gude said "I feel that the University should have an independent operation. It would save a lot of money," Gude said he "would like to thank all students, faculty and administration for the great time I have had here." The AMS gave him a desk set in appreciation for his help to students throughout his years here.

It is important that students take a good look at the _ candidates, their abilities and policies, and make a decision based on issues, rather than on personalities. The ARGUS staff has followed activities of both candidates this year, and we feel it necessary and just to take a stand. We urge you to vote Dennis Wallace. Dennis has shown his capabilities as Director of Finance this year. He has proven he can work with people and function effectively on the AMS Council. He is flexible, willing to listen to other points of view, and as such will be able to hold the AMS Council together. On the other hand, Art Looye has demonstrated unwillingness to compromise or to listen to other viewpoints. He was involved in conflicts which broke up the Judicial Committee this year. He has illegally chaired AMS meetings, violating the constitution several times. As he says, his record speaks for itself. The AMS Council must be built into an effective student voice.

Yours truly, William Sheridan • Organizer Greetings Your Article "Birth Control: Not why but how" in the February 6th edition of the ARGUS was interesting to say the least, but hardly complete. It didn't mention the technique which is the most effective, the most reliable, and the safest, namely the adding of a chemical to the drinking water to reduce the fertility of everyone equally. This technique is the most effective because it approaches the problem of the population explosion from a collective point of view, and the population explosion is a collective problem. Mass birth control is the only way the population explosion can be halted. It can never be oone on a voluntary, personal basis. Since such a chemical could be included in soft drinks and pasteries as well as the water supply, its reliability factor would be 100%.

"The AMS as it now exists is a totally ineffective, incompetent body of people who may be broken down as follows: two are sincere individuals, interested in the representation and betterment of the student body; six are what I consider complete egotists - interested in furthering their own positions. The other six are just totally incompetent to handle any relevant discussions without pussy-footing around and wondering if the administration would be angry. "It will take time and sine.ere effort on the part of the new council to rectify these deplorable conditions which exist and build a true students' council." cus "I think CUS could be an effective unit. However, their activities at the last CUS meeting tended to alienate many of the people interested in the workings of student policy. This is being rectified with the recent election of Martin Loney.

''To imagine the existing hierachy would allow equal representation can be considered a pipe-dream. However, as a token representation of the student body, three would be a damn good start. The three would be representing 2200 students and their words at the senate meetings would have to be given due consideration. "From this small beginning the ground work would be laid for total representation."

AMS "Political orientation and idealism has got to come from the councillors." Gibson feels that progress has gone unnoticed because Gibson is against the idea of equal student representation on the senate as it is far too idealistic. ''Power implies responsibility and we should use this power with discretion, respect and reason." Such student power, he feels, could be a very useful and potent force in our society.

Television Tape Recorders �a191s, february 13, 1969, page 6 AMS executive Wallace vs. Looyi Canada won't solve the count~y's problems, and seceding from CUS won't solve ours. We must stay in CUS to make it better. I ARGUS: What do you think of the student justice system? WALLACE: It's easy to make political hay out of this one, but I think we must look at the problems from a re·sponsible position. The system should be set up to AVOID trouble, not make it. If our proctors regularly had to use physical force or press charges for trivial offences, then we would have failed in our purpose. We might as ·well use off-duty policemen. This year, despite the difficulties we've had with the two judicial committees, the ·system worked fairly well. Dennis Wallace ARGUS: Why do you wish to be President of AMS? WALLACE: I think I can give students a stronger, more effective AMS. A great number of people have expressed the desire to work with me to make AMS a more relevant useful body next year. I have the support of the executives of many of the clubs and societies, so I know I can call on an experienced team to get things done. I've studiect here for three years and I know the students, I know the faculty, I know the ways and means of getting things done - and I know I can help to give the kind of leadership Lakehead needs at this stage. Being Director of Finance has given me valuable experience in virtually all fields of AMS activity. ARGUS: What wi II you do if elected? WALLACE: As soon as I'm elected, together with the rest of the executive, we' II work out the priorities for committees. Then when the new councillors take office two weeks later, the committees will be finalized, staffed, and we' 11 get down to work. The corrmittee system lends itself well to solving our problems. It gets more in-depth work done, gets councillors working on the projects they're interested in, and cuts down on lengthy debate. If elected I'll make as much use as I can of the committee system. ARGUS: What are your political views? WALLACE: I'm really politically non-aligned. I'm not dogmatic about anything, except, perhaps, the need for diverse points of view. In a University of all places the students deserve a look at all kinds of opinions. Varied speakers should be encouraged to come to Lakehead. For the rest of our lives we'll never get a chance for this kind of experience. Two candidates for I The position of Director of Finance is second only to the President in importance.

If the problem doesn't warrant a budget change there.is no need to go to council with it." Unauthorized ARGUS: What about our membership in the Canadian Union of Students? WALLACE: I really think we should stay in CUS. It has considerable benefits to the student and the University, and whether we stay in or drop out, it will still continue to represent and speak for us in the eyes of the public. Students get wide travel benefits, life insurance, and discounts on consumer goods. It is an extremely valuable resource base for the AMS - which I promise to use much more than we have done in the past - and it also lobbies for better student loans in Ottawa. ~ Sometimes CUS passes resolutions t don't agree with.

LOO YE: Basically because I don't think the students are getting a fair deal. If they are getting a fair deal they don't know about it. I can give the leadership and direction the AMS needs. I will set up a strong chain of command that will really work. I think we've had a weak executive this year and I'll change it if I get in. ARGUS: What wil I you do if elected? LOOYE: The minute I'm elected I' II start to get the constitution changed. I' II definitely change what the present constitutional COITlllittee has done, but I will use it. I won't increase the powers of the executive. I'll make the head of the Proctors responsible to the Vice-President of Programming - "ght now there's no real way of dealing with him. This will mean the VicePresident can fire the head of the Proctors. And we've got to have a committee system working here. That way we can get lots of work done. I' II try to use not just counci I members but kids from the student body as well. There's no reason why they shouldn't sit on colTlll i ttees.

Finance Committee ''This committee should be given more authority to ,finalize budgets and expenditures before going to council. I ·Canadian Union of Students ''This will have to be general as I'm not that familiar with it. There is a need for a student union as such, right at the moment. I can't go along with present policy. Basically the international realm should be withdrawn from because of the lack of effect. Information papers are valid if they are not slanted. Student Representation "I question the effecti".e• nessof student representation on the Senate. I don't see what effect it can have other than keeping the students informed.'' LOOYE: I think we should only support CUS if it stops taking political stands. If it continues to make political stands we should get out. CUS shouldn't pass resolutions on Vietnam; they should just present the facts to the students. ARGUS: What about your ideas on orientation week? LOOYE: Orientation week has not been satisfactory in the past. I don't go for this razzing of frosh. We s~ould have a clean-up week for the two cities. Students would clean up the streets of Port Arthur and Fort William. Now it would only work if I could get the second and third year kids in on it too - if I sold it to them now. But it would be terrific public relations. It would get the students to know the streets, and they'd get to know each other. We've got to have better orientations. If we don't go for it I think the administration will laugh at us and AMS wi II probably dissolve itself. ARGUS: Will you explain your part in the judicial fiascos this year? LOOYE: My record speaks for itself. I' II just let the facts do the talking. That's not Argus facts. ARGUS: Certain people are claiming you have admitted, openly, that you are a fascist. Would you clarify this? LOOVE: There have been certain people who involve themselves in slander and an underground whisper campaign against me. I will not lower myself to answer them. Retorts are not needed for this kind of irresponsible actions. ARGUS: Have you ever called yourself a fascist? LOOYE: I have called myself a Communist, a Socialist, a Christian and a liar; many things, however, I am not a fascist. ARGUS: Do you believe all races are equal? LOOYE: All men are created equal. The negro race is equal to the caucasian race. ARGUS: How do you explain your support of South Africa's apartheid pol icy. . . . LOOYE: The apartheid system in South Africa 1s probably the best one right now. ARGUS: How do you explain your statement of belief in equality in the light of your support of this regime? LOOYE: I'm not answering that. This is off the record. I'm standing by my record. �argus, february 13, 1969, page 8 AMS executive elections Two in race for Arts Society President Paul Paularinne Paul Paularinne, presently Vice-President of the Arts Society, feels that his two years in the Arts Society have taught him what the Presi- dent's position will entail, and that he can do a good job for the students. Referring to the soc.ial events for the up-coming year, Paularinne said, "Too many things presently take place and there has got to be a stop somewhere, not a drastic cut, but I want to specialize in certain types of entertainment. I also want to bring in some good speakers on academic matters." The emphasis, he added, "is on quality, not quantity." Concerning student power, he commented, "As far as I can see there are things that must be changed, but I don't support student revolutions, as there are other ways of doing it." He added, "I definitely want to do something for the students and I am interested in what kind of education students are getting." P aularinne said of The Canadian Union of Students, "I feel that if CUS is going to be a repeat of this year, it will be a definite waste of money. I'm not against CUS, but it is going to have to change some of its political ideas." He added, "We are tired of CUS fieldworkers coming without any warning and expecting us to cater to them when they arrive. There are a lot of students in the cafeteria, the people who are paying for this organization, and these are the ones who these fieldworkers should be talking to, but are not... Paularinne concluded, "My job will be to give the student the most I can for his money." RE-ELECT BOB GIBSON Performance PIPE SMOKERS! This could be the Best Ofter you've had all day!

We're going crazy trying to interview all these people.) Both of these Presidents along with the Arts Society President are automatically members of the AMS Council and the Executive Committee. Both the University Schools Society and the Science Society executives have announced that theposi tions ofVice-President Secretary and Treasurer for their Society Councils will be filled on Feb. 19th as well. The Arts Society executive is also considering this plan but there has been no definite word. It looks like it could be a confusing election with all these positions being filled at one nime.

Box 220, Station F, Toronto, Ontario "In the past, says Kevin Jesseau, "Arts Society Presidents have been concerned mainly with social issues. However, I would like to see a change in this and myself get involved in academic issues." "I would like to see a wider scope of courses open for students. These should not be completely free courses, but through councilling the programs could be worked out satisfactorily." He added that departmental meetings, when concerning students and curiculum, should be open to students. Jesseau said that students should be treated like adults, and this includes being taught like adults.

He added that he already approached Mr. Lewis, one of the French professors, and he has agreed to study any usuable plan that students may come up with to teach his courses. In J esseau' s opinion, "if things are going to get done, a lot of people are going to have to get involved. This is what I feel is lacking at the present time." He added, "the faculty and administration are just as interested in changing the system as the students are." Of the Canadian Union of Students (CUS) J esseau commented that he could accept it, but with reservations. He added "Some things about CUS are good and these I could accept. But I do not want to have to accept everything in order to accept a few. From talking with a lot of students I feel that the referendum will be defeated as I get the impression that most of the students at Lakehead University are not ready to accept it at the present time . ., ''However, he said, "if the students vote to stay with CUS, then I will continue to work for what the students want and likewise, no matter who is elected as AMS P.cesident, I will attempt to work with him to do my best for the students."

Svvim team comes last Last weekend the Lakehead University Swim Team entered their first meet at York University in Toronto, placing last despite a strong effort. York University took first, followed by the Royal Military College, the University of Guelph, Ryerson and Lakehead. The Lakehead team sent 5 representatives: Ed Sandau, Dave Curtis, Richard Kamo, Doug Angus, and Art Looye. .. Altogether Lakehead entered seven events. Kamo and Angus entered the 500 metre free style, Looye and Sandau in the 200 metre back stroke, Kamo and Angus in the 200 0 metre breaststroke, Dave Curtis in the 100 metre free style, Angus in the 200 metre individual medley, Sandau and Looye in the 100 metre backstroke, and the whole team in the 400 metre relay. Curtis will represent Lakehead in March at a meet in Fredericton. Mrs. Siddall, the team's coach, said the team did very well and appeared to have a strong technique. She felt the team needed more swimming time to improve their times. At present the team practices twice a week at the Port Arthur YM-YWCA on Mondays and Wednesdays.

The race was a five mile relay with eleven men running five laps each. The residence had ten men and one girl. The track team picked up a few recruits and turned out with seven men. Running for Floor A-2 was Mike Charette, Bruno Desilets, Hugh Cameron, Leo Labelle, Pat Fung, Denis "cannonball" Garth Mitchell, Allan Hovi, Bob Antonyshyn, George Madjitey and Jane Moran. Don Goodwin, Nick Jackson, ijick Goth, Don Henderson, Ian Stewart, Cedric Clarke and John Paddington ran for the track team.

The residence men train twice a week, and have been for three weeks. Next rematch it is' hoped that the coach for the track team, Don Domansky, will appear. As well, it is hoped that organizer for the track team Marnie Stewart will be on time and able to run. The track team will also enter the indoor meet on Feb. 22 in the field house.

The Lakt:head University squad shot very well from the field with a 49% average. This was their best average so far this year. All 14 players making the trip saw action. Phil Fury led the scoring with 25 points, followed by Dan Carroll, Willie Jerks, and Wayne Humphreys with 15, 13, and 12 points respectively. For the Voyageurs of Laur~ntian, Hill had 17 markers and Gillow came up with 15. Saturday evening the Nor' Westers started slow and were down six points after the first eight minutes. After that point they picktd up the pace and moved ahead ten points by half time. The half time score was 32-22. In the second half the Nor' Westers increased their pace and came up with 52 points to 39 for the Voyageurs. The Nor'Westers shot a fine 48% average from the field to come close to tying their new record from Friday night. Dan Carroll was the big gun for Lakehead as he paued through for 20 points and picked up 29 rebounds. This was an all-time high for rebounding in one game by Lakehead Uni-. versity. Wayne Humphreys and Phil Fury each came up with 19 points while Willie Jerks hit nine, Rob Cameron six, Don Holmstrom five, Lloyd Koskie, Larry Hebert, Dennis Porttnan two each and Lou Pero one. Coach Birger felt that the play of Cameron was instrumental in the victories when he showed the hustle that was needed to get the Nor' Westers rolling in both encounters.

Squash team loses Lakehead's Squash team put up a poor showing last weekend, coming last in the Inter-Collegiate Squash Tournament in Toronto. Ryerson took first place, winning 17 of their 20 games. They were followed by Osgoode with 15 wins and 5 losses, York with 8 wins and 12 losses, and Trent with 6 wins and 14 losses. Lakehead won 4 of their 20 encounters. The five members of the Lakehead team were John Sihvonen, John Fallis, Glen Miller, Tom Petrie and Allen Holt. Sihvonen, Fallis, Miller and Petrie each won one of their games. The top player in the tournament was Mulzer, from Ryerson. He is ranked as number six in Canada. Although this was the worst showing for Lakehead so far, Coach Bill Shannon wasn't too disappointed.

The ARGUS recently inter• viewed Don Colborne, a CYC volunteer, to determine the .extent of the CYC's involvement, and the reasons behind it. The high-school walkout . was spontaneous--it was not organized by anyone, least of all the CYC. But following the walkout, several high school students wanted to discuss the issues involved and to try to organize students behind some definate policy. They had nowwhere to meet, and no facilities to make their views known, so they went to the CYC. "We provided them with a meeting place, duplicating facilities, and a minimum of advice." said Colbome. We weren't the only people doing this. There were a lot of other adults more actively involved than us." • simon says. . Happiness i·s having a car which can be relied on to only take a little nip when it jumps out and bites another car. Happiness is that flush of relief when a d~age survey of a car nipping reveal·s only superficial bruises. Happiness is that little old successful glove mender .... me. Happiness is feeding that .. alki .. thirst developed during the late winter festivities. Happiness is hoping the drip-drip in your window will go away with the next cold spell. The window ledge becomes a miniature enactment of spring, floods and all. Happiness is the autumnal squash odour in dubbin, that fills every pore in your hand and lingers up to the first opportunity for an embarrasing incident. Happiness is dipping your shrimps in beer before as wel I as after you eat them. Happiness is (from highly placed sources close to the top) biting a girl's thigh. Happiness is throwing your used chicken bones into a stream as roughage for the fish. Alma Mater Society: Nothing Underhanded Colbome stressed that there was nothing underhanded about the CY C's involvement. "People seem to suspect that the CYC tried to disguise out involvement. This is not true. It's just that those involved felt their involvement wasn't even important enough to talk about." Colbome pointed out that a Times Journal reporter had attended a meeting of high school students at the CYC offices, and had not mentioned the CYC in his story as it was not important. Colborne felt the limited involvement of the CYC with the high school students was completely justified. "Whenever any group which does not have facilities for organization approaches us, we're obliged under our tenns of reference to provide what assistance we can, as long as it doesn't interfere unduly with our ongoing projects and if it doesn't break the law." Colborne cited the CYC's Annual Report as further justification. The report states: "Growing numbers of young people in Canada are dissatisfied with the school system and with existing institutions. As a result, some drop out of school, some flee to Yorkville, some smoke marijuana, others start 'free schools'. The Company's response is neither to praise nor condemn these developments, but to work with some of these young people in an attempt to find constructive ways for them to participate in society." Indian Project Upuntilnow, the Company's main "ongoing project" has been an Indian project: "working with Indian people outside of the Lakehead in Northwestern Ontario." Colborne said this included the setting up of a radio station, Radio Kenomadiwin, which will soon be a travelling station. It will serve Indian communities and re• serves in Northwestern Ontario. "Kenomadiwin" means "education" in Ojibway. The Company also helps publish Kenomadiwin News, an Indian community regional newspaper. "Also we have volunteers working in the fie ld--three in Red Lake and one in Annstrong," Colborne added. The CYC will soon begin a project within the Lakehead cities "which will concentrate mainly on the problems of youth, the unemployed, housing and urban renewal, and the economic structure of Northwestern Ontario." Colborne stressed that the CYC is designed to help alienated groups who have no facilities of their own for communication or organization. ''We have offices here. Those offices are available for people to use so long as we judge thatthey use them well." SDU on campus Temporarily using the name Students for a Democratic University, about 20 dissatisfied studentsmetin the "snake pit'' last Friday to discuss the general atmosphere at Lakehead University. The students showed great concern over student-administration relationships and the existing means of student representation. Given serious consideration was the question whether the S.D. U. could more benefit the students operating independent of the AMS or within its structure. The general feeling was that the AMS as it now functions cannot offer the students effective representation. Sub-committees were set up to do research on issues relevant to the future functioning of the S.D.U. Priority was given to the establishing of a working policy - a manifesto to set down the aims of the group.

The announcement came Sunday evening from the committee of high school students set up earlier to keep students infonned of any happenings concerning the proposed walkout. A meeting scheduled for Sunday in Westminster Church was cancelled by the Minister of the church as he feared there might be some trouble. The meeting was planned as a meansof bringing all interested people together to plan the walk-out for the next day. As it turned out nobody came but the police, who waited hiding behind a snowbank. The committee had previously published a pamphlet out• lining their proposals for improving the high school system. They said that stu- dents must have freedom to participate in their own education, and that teachers should be academic resources, instead of authorities. As far as the Student Council they felt that the administration should have no veto power over the elections or the functioning of the Student Council. They also felt that candidates should have freedo~ to question educational policies, and their grade requirements should be removed. The committee suggested that students have the right to organize their own unions. Finally they said that the school year must not be ex• tended as no adequate explanation for the extension has been given. The committee was organized at a meeting the previous Tuesday at Lakehead University. The meeting was attended by some 70 interested students. Also present at the meeting was Ted Richmond, an Ontario field worker for the Canadian Union of Students. In addressing the meeting he said "Highschool students are being discriminated against because they are powerless, and students have found that the only way that they are going to get some recognition is to take some sort of definite action." "You need support from the community. You must convince them that you aren't wasting the taxpayers' money.•• He referred to a statement issued by The Ontario Union of Students concerning the extention of the high school year. The statement says• 'The school extension is an attempt by the Ontario Government to combat the problem of increasing unemployment." It supported this by saying that the government is interested in maintaining "relatively full employment", and one of the main functions of schools is to keep students out of the labour market. It blamed the unemployment problem on automation and stagnation. In explaining the govemment' s action the statement said "So they (the government) lengthened the school year because high school students constitute unskilled labour and high school students are politically powerless." It added, "Professor John ~~ v~~National --:2:::::7'- Rowtree of York. University estimates that the ten-day extension is equivalent to the elimination of about l0,000 man- hours of jobs in Ontario that would have been held by high school students hut are not in large part available to the rising pool of the unemployed. These 10,000 manhours potentially reduce the number of unemployed in Ontario by 8 • 10% and the unemployed rate by .S - .4%. Imagine what a year-round school operation would do for unemployment!" A teacher from Hillcrest High School (the only teacher present at the meeting) agreed that the extension of the school year will interfere with the teaching staff, as many must be on courses by July I. "I feel that this is definitely an issue. However, a greater issue is the quality of education. This, however, can be resolved from within the school environment." The meeting then broke up into private discussions among students from each high school. They ended by choosing members from each school to make up the committee. Al though there had been rumors of a wallc.-out in the Lakehead in February as part of a province-wide protest of the extension of the school year by the Minister of Education, nothing definite happened until the Lakeview students walked out of classes two weeks ago, supported by stu• dents from other Port Arthur high schools. Perhaps Police Chief Onni Hardy's threat to arrest stu• dents who "trespass" at other schools has cooled the walkouts.

E Black occupation MONTREAL (CUP) -· Black students involved in the computer centre occupation at Sir George Williams University Thursday (Jan. 30) issued the following statement: "The occupation of the computer centre of Sir George Williams University, Montreal, Canada, was effected with lightning and · clock work precision on Wednesday, January 29. This decisive move was motivated by the university's totalitarian and arbitrary methods of dealing with charges of racial discrimina tion and incompetence made by six black Caribbean students against one Professor P. Anderson of the biology department of the said university. "The black students have consistently and unswervingly held their ground with a rev- olutionary integrity and orientation never before witnessed on any Canadian university campus. , "We vow to prolong this just occupation of this vital nerve cent~e of the university until justice is properly meted out to us and the whole student community which is also affected by the· unjversally lc.nown rigidity of all university hierarchies." "We extend our solidarity to the students of Simon Fraser University in British Columbia Canada, who are also courageously combatting the status quo." "We also militantly extend our fraternal solidarity with the struggle of black people everywhere for we are historically linked in the struggle to give birth to the new society that is making its way out of the womb of the old. Residence: an exercise in democracy by John MacGregor What is new, has trouble with toilet paper and is democratically controlled? Lakehead's New Residences, that's what. The New Re-sidences, a ~prawling complex just built this year on the southern side of the campus, eventually to !10use 480 people, is home to 138 students this year. Most of them think it's a pretty good place to live, especially since the administration hasn't imposed any rules of conduct on them. Any rules governing conduct are voted in by the students themselves. "Dean Kerr said he wanted the New Residences to look after themselves," said Hugh Cameron, chainnan of the New Residence Council. Up to a point, that's exactly what they do. Each of the three houses has three floors (about 16 people) which set their own rules and regulations. If the students decide they want noise laws to help studying, they vote them in. If they want no rules at all (as the whole 'C' house did) then there are no rules at all. "What do we need rules for?" said Rick Todd, Arts I, a resident of •c• house. "They just provide an excuse for fascist-types to punish people with some kind of popular support. If there is any hassle we straighten it out ourselves • that's the best way anyway, isn't it?" But still there are problems with the administration. "The old residence has stereos, televisions and other amenities laid on by the administration," said Cameron. "We've had to buy our own and we've accepted that without complaint hut there are some thtngs we really need. Like first-aid kits, a few more cleaning staff •· and we're still waiting.for the first telephone to be installed. The guys are getting pretty tired of being told the administration is "working" on the problem." The administration is "working" on quite a few problems. Some of the troubles are built-in, and cannot be easily changed in the finished buildings. But there is no need to build them into the next seven houses. The administration refuses to change the plans on even the worst points. "The wash basins are all about a foot too low, and when you bend down to wash your face you smash yourhead against a sharp metal shelf cunningly put there by the architecL You can always tell New Residence people, they have a thin red crease in their foreheads," says Doug Smart, Arts 11. " ,What we need is students on the building committee, now. Then these stupid minor mistakes won't he built into the other houses." Complaints about the building would half fill the Argus; there are too many to talk ahout. No soundproofing, lunatic heating, no ventilation and cement that crumbles under a stem glance. The clocks, to many residents, symbolizes the administration's attitude towards the new building. They're beautiful, and they're in• stalled, but they've never worked. One small problem really rubs the students the wrong way • the harsh toilet paper. They want rolled stuff instead of institutional squares. "We feel", said one student, "that the administration should rectify the situation." �argus, february 6, 1969, page 2 This week. • • THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 6 Psychology Club Meeting - Room 023 - 9 a.m. Senate Graduate Studies Committee Meeting • Board Room• 10 p.m. Mind and Brain Panel Discussion - Room 023 - 8:45 p.m. Spanish Dancing - Room 1006 - 9 p.m. FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 7 Cambrian Players Rehearsal - Auditorium - 7 p.m. AMS Dance - Great Hall - 9 p.m. SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 8 Karate Lessons - Fieldhouse - 12:30 p.m. Cambrian Players Rehearsal - Auditorium - 7 p.m. Engineering Stag - Great Hall - 8 p.m. SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 9 Drama Club Children's Theatre - Auditorium - 9 a.m. Cambrian Players Rehearsal - Auditorium - 7 p.Jll.

JOBI WAYNE ~, KATHARDlE ROSS l•t :.r! ~J;;~} Mikado draws full house .7/EllFIGBTERSoo · ,•;;:::''\f'">, A UNIVERSAL PICTURE• TECHNICOLOR•• PANAVISION• The Lakehead Choral Group's recent production of the "Mikado" was quite a credit to the troupe. The well-worn Gilbert and Sullivan production was presented with much freshness and originality, and, in general, the quality of the singing and acting was quite high. Unfortunately, there were two noticeable errors in the casting. Harry Kirk, who' played Nanki-Po, has an excellent voice, but is rather inhibited in his acting and always falls out of character the moment the audience's attention is directed elsewhere on stage, giving the impression that he is only listening for cues instead of living his part. Frida Maunder, as Katisha, played her part very well, although it did take her a few minutes to work into it on stage. This part requires a very strong Contralto voice and Mrs. Maunder has a lovely Mezzosoprano voice. Although her acting was good, Mrs. Maunder's "Katisha" lost some of her customary nastiness due to the sweetness of the voice singing her songs. Yum-Yum (Miss Maureen gqodgrief its candy! McMillan) and Pish Tush (Fred Dawson) had the best voices in the cast and were both more than adequate in their roles. Robert Irwin was very good as the "Mikado", but from the first row he did not appear to be made up at all. Ian McGuiness was brilliant as Pooh-Bah, but even he could not keep George Warne (Ko-Ko) from stealing the show. The facial, vocal and athletic antics of Ko-Ko led the cast in providing the audience with a first rate musical comedy. The chorus members supported the main characters very well. It is unfortunate that they were forced to compete with the noise of a dance in full swing next door in the Great Hall.

This year's assorted band of incompetents and lost souls will depart. A new group, ready, eager, almost bushy-tailed, will be elected. They will step into the positions of office, determined to do better. A secret vow will be made by all to not repeat the mistakes of the past year's council. But after the first brief flush of victory, probably by the third meeting, things won't seem to be working quite so smoothly. Confusion and misunderstandings will mount up. By the middle of the following November the differences between one year's council and the next will have disappeared. The resemblance will be complete by December. How could a group of rational human beings come so quickly to resemble something that only a short year before they despised? The reasons are complex and varied. Part of the trouble is the type of person who runs for office. Most of them are conscientious in their appearance at meetings. But throughout it all they maintain a dignified silence. They can only be relied on to stir when the roll call for vote is taken, and at the end of the meeting they can be seen hovering over the door waiting to second the motion to adjourn. For the rest of the week the AMS does not cross their minds. Committees are not voluntteered for, or if they are blackmailed into one, the meetings are not attended. And yet one week later this type of councillor returns to do his "job", mildly incensed by the latest Argus criticism. This type of representation should remain in the bush league high schools where it belongs. Another problem is the councillors' varied interpretations of the student council. For some, the basic purpose of the AMS is to program social functions. These functions have a definate place in university life (man cannot live by radicalism alone). But others justiably feel that more time should be spent on academic and social issues, since the council is the only voice student have. This conflict over purpose causes internal tensions in the AMS which must be resolved if the Council is to be an effective student voice. This lxings us back to the election. If the election is based on ideas, rather than on people, the result will give an indication of the general feelings on campus. This year candidates must carefully consider their view of the Council's purposes and make these views known, or the internal tensions in council will mount up again, and the charges that it is not representative of student opinion will again be justified. Once the new council takes office, all will not be sweetness and light. Because of the very nature of the AMS over half its time is spent in self-perpetuation. Bureaucratic paper pushing of one sort or another is necessary in any organization. But the work should not end there. Councillors must become more involved. The present lack of preliminary work before meetings makes debate over ordinary maintenance matters frustration personified. The success or failure to deal efficiently with these common matters will determine the ability of the council to act effectively on the uncommon matters which occasionally crop up. With the modesty of all good oracles, a warning is issued to the general student population. Think of the type of person you want on council. Think of the type of ideas you want represented in council policy. Think of yourself as a possible candidate. Have you done some thinking lately about yourself and your position in the university community? If some thinking isn't engaged in, you are dooming yourself to dull reading in the Argus for the next year. Do you want to read how bad Council is for another year? CUS President Peter Warrian: trying to by Kevin Peterson Canadian University Press Peter Warrian doesn't talk about the Canadian Union of Students, he talks about a student movement. And he sees his main task as putting across certain relationships to students which they may not see now •· relationships like what he sees in the movie Rosemary's Baby. "How about a film review of Rosemary's Baby in terms of liberal consciousness?" he asked Peter Allnutt, editor of CUS' national student magazine, Issue. "The just society is going to be Rosemary's Baby." Peter Warrian is president of the Canadian Union of Students. The professional media pictures and quotes him as a building-burning revolutionary who intends to knock Canadian universities down to the ground and then move on to level the rest of society in the same way. The media lies. Warrian on leadership says: "My concept of political leadership is not the leaders and the led. Leadership is describing the situation then presenting alternatives." "The student movement has always been hung up on leadership, the charismatic leader like Dutschke or Cohn-Bendit ... encouraged by the media which builds these people." For the moment, Warrian would much rather stand on a table in some university cafeteria and talk to students than lead howling masses through the streets. He doesn't <leny that someday he may be fighting in the streets, but he has no intention of doing it until Canadian students think that's what's required. When people describe Warrian sympathetically, they say he is the imag1: of the ~lean-_cui, Canadian kid •· doesn't smoke or dnnk, likes football (he still plays it occasionally) and once was a seminarian. In short, he becomes the male version of Playboy magazine's "girl next door". If you wmt to like Warrian, he's all that and more. When he speaks, he has a sincerity which, at times, becomes too much to be~ieve. He speaks in quiet tones, but the message is the sort that is supposed to come across only in revolutionary rallies. He wants CUS to take ideas to people and help them see their position: "We talked a lot at the congress about taking it to the student... when we talk about confrontation, we mean not only political confrontation but a confrontation of ideas." CUS's September congress in Guelph passed several motions condemning American imperialism in Canadian society. Warrian is convinced the student can see his position within this framework. "When I say imperialism, I have in mind a system of political domination and exploitation," Warrian says. "Students may be turned off by the word imperialism, but that's a semantic problem." "I think an examination of our situation will show we are politically dominated and economically controlled. Warrian -sees housing in similar terms. He says, "You can't deal with the question of student housing in isolation. You must start with the overall problem of housing in Canada. Again, you are going to arrive at some basic contradictions which have produced the situation." Warrian and CUS are taking things to the student with an expanded fieldwork program: four full time fieldworkers, one each in British Columbia, the Prairie provinces, Ontario and the Atlantic provinces. • If the approach proves completely successful, Warrian says, "The I year will end with mass student involvement •· the majority of students would demand theirplace in university decisionmaking and take that place firmly and clearly. The university would probably begin to oper- But, it would also have a significantly stronger moderate block which opposes the lin·e Warrian is trying to sell. Warrian is bothered by referendums on member campuses, not because of possible membership losses but because, "Theoretically a referendum is a way to bring issues to the student; in practice it doesn't. "Referendums may be valuable at the end of the year, but in the fall they re come counterproductive, abstract, organizational debates." • 'lhe major task is building a mass base for a student movement, the major thing is to educate •· by making what we have more effective. "If the conditions are there they give rise to the movement •· if they remain, the movement will flourish. We don't manufacture the issues and it is -impossible to justify CUS on those grounds." However, whether Warrian likes it or not, there are fall CUS referendums and they do have to be fought. Meanwhile, and between referendums, Warrian will be worki~ for a new sort of university. "We're sometimes slandered because it is build a student movement ate on a sort of syndicalist ( student as worker) line." But even Warrian doesn't believe in complete success. Optimistically, he says, "I think it may be possible that by the end of the year 20% to one-third of the students in Canada may be involved on a continuing day-to-day basis, with an equal number following them in crisis situations." If something near Warrian's prediction is not reached, the union may be in trouble. For the past three or four years there have been rumblings throughout Canada that "students aren't getting their money's worth from CUS" and talking to people is not going to produce easily defined financial benefits. CUS lost nine members during its congress, although three others signified their intention to join. Referendums are taking place on numerous campuses about CUS membership this year •· no one is quite sure how many •• and if more large campuses withdraw, the union could be in serious trouble. On the other hand, some universities not in CUS, most notably the University of Alberta, are also having membership referendums. If these schools decide to join the union, it would be in a much stronger financial position said we want to destroy the university." Warrian says. "In fact we are trying to give it viability and life which can only come from analysis, self-criticism and definition otherwise we become extinct like some huge grey mushy sort of dinosaur." • "Increasingly there is the feeling we will have an anti-capitalist, anti-imperialist university or no university at all." Warrian talks about the reaction from administrations to student activity calmly and cooly. NI don't think they're capable of a common approach , across the country," he says. Recently, at Brandon University and Memorial University, threats have been made to expel students for demonstrations and other activities which were deemed disruptive to university life. Warrian commented on the threat of expulsion: "A more serious error by administrations or a more beneficial act for the stu· dents as a whole couldn't be dreamed of." "There are just too many students to whom the threat of expulsion for political action is a cause for glee rather than dismay." There was a look of glee in Warrian's face when he said that. �the Senate The AMS Council is floundering in confusion and incompetence. The student body is not overly interested in the council's activities, and hence it is difficult to find competent students to run for office. Why? The student body as a whole is not made up of incompetents, as is the AMS Council. Rather, the problem is in the structure of university government, which discourages participation and encourages apathy. The Senate is the prime offender. The Senate, which decides academic policy for students, holds closed meetings, publishes extremely inadequate minutes, and sets up elaborate communication systems to channel the .. correct" information to students and junior faculty. One would think that in a university, where the emphasis is on learning and free thinking, the structure would go out out of its way to make information available to the student. Not so. Any ARGUS reporter· knows that a student looking for information must run an obstacle course of five or six offices, only to find he has been sent in a complete circle, and has learned very little. The emphasis in university government in clearly on secrecy. And the Senate expects the students to participate in this secrecy. Fortunate Iy, one of the few po Ii cies the AMS has adhered to this year is the CUS policy ofnot sitting on boards which hold closed meetings. ..

This is what makes it different from other centuries. Our value systems have led us to toss, carelessly o_r ~nconscio'!sly, too many tickmg bombs mto our environment for us to assume that somehow we will muddle through the explosions, as we have in the past. Why? Because this is the first century in which mari's impotence cannot save him. In previous centuries man did not have total control over Nature. He could not precipitate his total destruction. Man is now omnipotent. He can control and manipulate Nature and himself. I am pessimistic about our chances for a really human life in this cent_ury ~ecause the very manifestations of man's omnipotence which could save us are bei~g misused for our degradation 1. We have the technological capability to recreate human society. But we are paralysed because we cannot take the global political decision to use our technology for a decent h~~ end. For example, Phihp Johnson estimated in Esquire that it would cost the United States $4,000,000,000 a year for 15 years to remake New York. A lot of money. But the point Johnson was making was that we have sufficient knowledge of urban design, sufficient technological capacity to undertake the project. The problem confronted is not overwhelming; it is more or less soluble. The horror is that we have simply not decided that it is a question of life or death to make the place where civilization is forged the city, human and liveable. We know what the problems are, we are even quite good at forecasting what they will become in the 21st century (see Kahn and Weiner's The Year Two Thousand). We have thought of limited but basically sound responses to these problems. But we cannot decidein the whirlwind of changes which changes we should control. We cannot coalesce by political decisions the vague, platitudinous, almost pathetic rhetoric of concern about our future into any series of actions sustained long enough to do anything more than perpetuate bad institutions by symbolic gradualism. Why? Perhaps because we are still not used to the fact that this is a century unlike any others. Perhaps we don't have a sufficiently frightened perception that in this centruy problems permanent to our existance will need an answer or we will perish. For instance, we have always had the poor with us. We have always polluted our environment, butbecause they are permanent problems we have no sense that at a certain point they will become massive and insoluble. With such a strong sense of history, and of our past, we have no perception of time running out. Perhaps the problems so bludgeon .us with their menace that we become numb and una~le to act. We become so fnghtened by the paucity of our political decision-making grid that we are numbed and silenced. Perhaps we are incapable of responding to our self-generated crisis because our institutions of decisionmaking are so entirely administrative in their operations and in their goals. Developed nations are highly integrated systems; circuits made of four ~omponents-govemment, labour mdustry, and educational institutions. Increasingly the managers of the system understand its interrelated operation. But so complex does management become when one has a full understanding of the system that the day to day ope,;ation of the circuit prevents its strative .operations. They are coupled with the awareness of unable to handle the pro- the system's administrative (ie. the blems of today, let alone those disfunctionalism of tomorrow.

Yet revolution may be im- of the population have a managers from evaluating where the system should be oriented. The goal of the system is administration, efficiency. The input of any goal more extensive than mere maintainance of the circuit • is discouraged because the managers have a clear idea of the drastic, disfunctional effects of unprog rammed inputs in a highly interrelated circuit. The thinkers in the circuit, the learning industry of universities, research institutes, consultants etc. are freed from administration of the system and thus have the detachment and the time to formulate long term goals for the system. But they are marginated because of their detachment. They cannot induce action in the system because action is the business of the managers who have limited goals of maintenance not revolution. Our existmg institutions not only have no value-sense but they are increasingly disfunctional, even as admini- possible. Revolution occurs when elements of the administrative system become demonstrably disfunctional to the people at large. Thus the question of whether a revolution in Canada is possible is not answered by saying that radicals across the country are busy outlining an ideology and a strategy for that revo1ution. Revolution will become possible when ordinary people decide that the system is not realizing the goals it has set for itself. For example, in postAugust Chicago millions of Americans, radicals or otherwise, decided that the American political system was no longer functional in teems of the goals set for it by the mythologies of Jefferson, Lincoln, Hamilton etc. The system was no loriger effectively representing the policy and personality alternatives called for by the people (or a significant minority of the people). That realization sense as our French and Russian ancestors did, that their total system is disfunctional, a total revolution will not be possible. Why do we have no sense of total disfunction? Because one component of the system is stunningly efficient at meeting its self-set saals: Industry. Industry is the - one institution which is a continual state of revolution. Because it has set non-human, limited goals (the provision of goods and services to people), and because it is staggeringly successful at ingesting technological change, it can appear functional to the citizens. People feel that the system is operative because they can get what they want: consumer goods, rapid transportation and communication. And disfunction in government does not visibly impinge upon industry's efficiency. Even when the black men bum the block, the liquor store soon opens up again. Obviously there are numer- ous disfunctional elements in the industrial system: needless unemployment, needless poverty. But these disfunctional elements are not sufficient to cause a sense of total ~sfunction. Unlike conditions m _France ~r Russi~ prior to theu rev?luuons, most ordinary people m the North Atlantic trian~le can still get bread, clothmg and consumer equipment. And many of them feel that the system is just, is good, not because of government commitment to justice but because the industrial s~stem seems able to supply goods and services more efficiently than ever before. The industrial system has of course, a major social and ~~an di~function in that it is mcreasmgly inhuman. The modem Infemois the sterilized _quie~y humming bottling plant i~ which men and women spend eight hours a day dressed in white, linen pressing buttons which somehow, somewhere produce COKE after COKE after COKE ... Yet the ordinary people's senseofbecoming dehumanized electrons in an administrative circuit is not likely to make them revolutionary. Dehumanization robs the will of anger and the sense of private personal deprivation which makes men revolt. Dehumanization is numbing: it is not revolution-causing. Thus, revolution will only occur in the developed world when the industrial system ceases to produce sufficient g?Ods and services to con~m~e people that their society is Just and functioning. That might occur if we had a more serious financial dislocation than the one in February and March !lf last year. It might occur m the acutely difficult period of a<ijustment after the end of the Vietnam War. This latter possibility is less likely since a disfunctional, troubled government will not want to cause industrial disfunction by reducing defence contracts or by encouraging the re-tooling of the defence industry to civil uses. Though total revolution in impossible (1 mean the kind of revolution -which could set up a completely new order to administer global schemes for salvagingthe century) sporadic but increasing violence and chaos is extremely likely. As we stand today post-Columbia post-Paris, post-Watts we se; a different apocalypse than that seen by George Orwell in 1945. We see not 1984 and a rigidly organized, totalitarian world authority. Instead, a world of steadily disintegrating administrative sys terns flailed by chaotic but massive acts of revolt and violence, and flailing back at the dissidents with steadily more repressive but less effective tactics. 11ie vision is heartening to- the true believer. But while the system collapses the population bomb will still tick, the hunger and death will continue, and ecological rape will remain. The big problems will become still more desperate. �-- - - - - - argus, february 6, 1969, page 6 Two basketball wins -photo by Acri The Nor'Westers raised their basketball standing to eleven wins and eight losses last weekend with two big wins over the Hibbing State Cardinals. Friday's game gave Lakehead a hard-fought 78-75 vict• ory. The game's action began with a quick scoring play by Humphreys and Jerks. The passing was excellent, and despite early rebounding difficulties, the defense was good. Half-time saw the Nor' Westers with a 41-27 lead. The Cardinals had some beautiful inside moves, doing everything but putting the ball through the hoop. But a change of tactics had them hitting well from the corners and top of the key, narrowing the lead to 8 points. With five and a half minutes remaining in the game the Cardinals were within four points of the leading Nor' Westers. Then, with the clock showing 3:23, the Lakehead team began ball-freeze control. A frenzied crowd watched anxiously ~s the Nor'Westers missed shot after shot from the free throw line. With three seconds left it appeared to be a 78·73 victory but a long desperation shot from center court found its way through the hoop to give the Cardinals two more points. Dan Carroll broke his own rebounding record with 24 and led the scoring with 18 points. Jerks and Humphreys followed with 17 and 14 points respectively. Russ led for the Cardinals with 18 points and 18 rebounds. The Nor'Westers shot 33% from the floor and 64. 7% from the line while the cards hit 39% from the floor and 43% from the line. A good crowd witnessed the second game on Saturday afternoon. Lloyd Koski started m place of Willie Jerks. The Nor'Westers seemed to be in trouble from the start and the Cards' Russ (43) proved dangerous under the Nor' Wester basket. At quarter time· the Cards held a 7 point lead and it was not until the clock showed 6:05 that the Nor'Westers took a 29-28 lead. By the half they lecl 45-40, foul shots playing a large part in the scoring. The second half saw the Nor'Westers shooting better but they were still not playing as a team, the scoring coming in quick rallies. By the third quarter they led 67-53. With only 6:00 left in the game the Nor'Westers began a ball freeze. By the time the clock showed 5:30, Carroll, Holmstrom and Humphreys had all fouled out and a minute later Fury, too, had left the floor. The second string did an admirable job of holding off th« Cardinals, Cameron coming up with two big ones at 3:27. With a 76-65 lead, the Nor' Westers again began a ball freeze. There were a few tense moments but the clock ran out showing an 84-76 win for the Nor'Westers. The Nor'Westers shot 42% from the field and 55% from the line; the Cardinals shot 32.5% from the field and 49.6% from the line. Dan Carroll again topped both categories with 23 points and 22 rebounds, followed by Fury with 20 points and 14 rebounds. Russ led for Hibbing with 32 points and 14 rebounds. Final score again: 84-76. -photo by Angus Phil Fury (44) reaches. Double victQry for girls The boys were not the only ones to show their worth in basketball last weekend. Our girls basketball team played host to the Hibbing State College Girls Basketball Team, and took a double victory. Friday night the girls took a 37-16 win from their competitors, although it was a little difficult for the girls to adjust to the unfamiliar American rules. Glenis Holmes was the top scorer with 12 points. She was followed by teammates Judy Perlin with six points, and Maritta Rickstein and Jackie Turner hitting five each. Saturday the girls won again 42-22. Glenis Holmes was high scorer a ain with 16 points, followed by Judy Perlin and Jackie Turner hitting 7 each, and Linda Thomas with five.

On Saturday night the Nor' Westers played good positional hockey while peppering the Huskie goalie Ron Gordon with 63 shots. Don Gutsole, goalie for the Nor'Westers this weekend had to turn away only 11 shots for his shutout.

The Lakehead players were not backchecking or playing their positions and so were not able to take advantage of many good scoring chances. This lack of positional playing in the first two periods cost the Nor'Westers their second chance at a shutout. Huskie goalie Greg Sowieja played very well in handling the 57 shots on him. Murray Smith got his second hat- trick along with Dave Siciliano. Vern Campigotto again scored twice and Ray Hunt, Richard Tapak and Dwight Stirrett tallied one each.
