VOLUME 11, No. XIV LAKEHEAD UNIVERSITY, PORT ARTHUR, OKTARIO. TWELVE PAGES January 18, 1968 Amalgamation threatened by Owen Marks The proposed amalgamation o·f Lakehead Teachers College and Lakehead University is off for the present. \\'.}lencontac_ted on Wednesday.January 10, Dr. John Whitfield, president of this year's faculty association at LU stated that he couldn't foresee amalgamation here at the Lakehead this year. Proposed date for union was to be July 1, 1968. Pilot project in Ontario Primarily, partnership between the two institutions was lo be one of the first such types attempted in Ontario. It was hoped that in so doing the educational standard of the participating students at Teachers College could be raised. But if such an affiliation were to take place, there would have been an apparent wage •discrepancy betYoeen instructors, of supposed equal credentials, in the two institutions . In fa ct this difference in salary could be as great as 20%, in some cases, on a basic minimum salary. Minimum salaries at the University for a full professor are $15,300, while Associate, Assistant, and the rank immediately below Assistant are $11,800, $9,300, and $7,700 respectively. At the Teachers' College, all the Masters are hired on an equal salary basis. Their minimum •vage is $12,000, and their maximum is $14,500. Dr. Whitfield went on to say he supposed that union could not take place until amalgamation was accomplished on a province-wide scale. The problems of wage parity, ranking, and the definition of the amalgamation could not allow it until that time.

John Lynn, Canadian University Press WINDSOR (CUP) •• The coeditors of the University of Windsor Lance resigned Tuesday after tne university president and the senate discipline committee threatened to expel them if they remained inoffice. University President J. F. Leddy called a meeting of the senate committee on Student Conduct, Activities, and Discipline (SCAD) last Dec. 4, to consider what he termed the Lance's "morbid obsession with squalid vulgarity." SCAD at that time asked for student council support in cleaning up the Lance, but council refused, reiterating the right of the paper to operate freely. Co-editor John Lalor told Canadian University Press Tuesday (Jan. 9) the president and SCAD objected to several articles printed over the first term, particularly an article entitledThe Student as Nigger, an analysis of university eduation in western society. The article, which uses four• letter words liberally, has appeared in the georgi an., the Ubyssey, the Argus and several other campus papers with little reaction. The controversy died down during the holiday break, but Lalor said it became clear Monday (Jan 9) SCAD would move to· expel co-editor Marian Johnstone and himself at a Tuesday meeting if they did not resign beforehand. In his statement of resignation, Lalor said: ''I gather from threats made by Dr. Leddy at th~ meeting Monday and from the tenor of the meeting in general that the committee is hell-bent on a course that cannot be altered, and if carried to its logical extremes, could result in the expulsion of Miss Johnstone and myself." In his letter of resignation, accepted with no comment by SCAD Tuesday, Lalor said he was not prepared to let any "arbitrary committee" play with his life. • The Windsor student council termed SCAD's role in the case "unnecessary interference'' which undermined the student body. "It is further the belief of this council that the university community as a whole has suffered irreparably from high-handed interference of certain members of the community at large who have, without regard to the rights and perogatives of a student government to publis~ in the sole interest of its students, shackled the privileges of freedom of the press." Lalor told CUP the Windsor community had also reacted to the Lance, and said the SCAD was under considerable pressure from inside the university and outside to take strong action. He said Dean G. A. McMahon, dean of students and chairman of the committee, along with Prof. Ron Wagenburg attempted to mediate the situation by suggesting Lalor and Johnstone accept "disciplinary probation." This meant, said Lalor, they would have to promise not to use any more bad words. The president of Lakehead, University, William Tamblyn, was a little more optimistic. He thought that although negotiations at present were being conducted on tender ground, he could still see amalgamation by the end of September 1968 at le ast. Tamblyn admitted that university salaries were discouragingly low for such an amalgamation, but added that the university had asked for substantial wage increases for the next year. Principal William West of Lakehead Teachers College declined to comment stating that negotiations between the Department of Education and the University were still under way. William Davis, Minister of Education, was not available for comment. Nor'Westers split with Caps The Nor'Westers split a pair of games with Brandon. University Caps last weekend. Saturday they lost 9 - 7, but they bounced back for an 8 • 6 victory Sunday. Saturday, Nuttall and Gellert each picked up two goals L.U. downs Brandon U. The Nor'Westers Basket• ball team completed their weekend with two convincing wins over the Brandon Caps. Saturdaythey won 65 • 47,· and Sunday saw them on the winning end of a 53 • 39 score. This brings their season record to 8 and 8. Don Holmstrom led the way Saturday with 25 points, while Roy Holman netted 12. L.U. led 27 • 26 at the half but pulled away· in the second half as a result of the great reoounding of Holmstrom and Jim Johnston. In Sunday's game, Holmstrom, Lakehead' s consistent scoring leader, topped the blue and white team with 17, wnile Roo Cameron had 12 and BigLouPero had 9. They were led by the aggressive defense and good outside shooting of guard Rob Cameron, while Lou Pero came through with some clutch baskets. One happy note was the play of Birger's second string as they outscored Brandon 7 • 0 during the short time they were on the floor. while singles went to Tapak, Fallis, and. "Al -Holt. Bud Crocker played a hard-hitting game on defense and carried the puck well for LU-. In Sunday's game, ''Rocket'' Tapak pumped home five goals while S1cilia,no, Nuttal, and Jim Gellert each picked up a single. Randy Wilkie, the latest Lakehead goalie, played well on the weekend, . despite letting in 15 goals. The big surprise for {.. U. coach Akervall was the performance of some of his rookies from the commercial league. At least six Varsity regulars did not make the trip. Jim Gellert, Al Holt, and Don Ostaff showed good form in both games. Gellert was es• pecially outstanding, picking up three goals and five assists in the two games. �Page 2 January 18, 1968 THE ARGUS This Week •••• THURSDAY.

Mr. Harding, a lecturer in New Residence facilities A $2,500,000.00 contract for new Lakehead University residence fac ilities has been approved and awarded to the Toronto firm of Catkey Construction Limited in c.onj unction with The Ontario Student Housing Corporation. Additional landscaping and furnishing cos ts are ex pee ted to put the total cost of the twelve building complex at $2,750,000.00 , with construction beginning immediately. The project will be financed through the Ontario Student Housing and the Central Mortgage and Housing Corporation, on a 50 year mortgage . The project calls for a 480 bed complex , to be built in a park-like setting on the banks of the man-made lake. The site will be directly across the lake from the present Uni versity Centre. There will be ten three-storey residence buildings, with each floor having facilities to accommodate I 6 students with a sitting room with T. V. and a kitchen also included. The other two build• ings include a recreation centre and a hr>11se for the master don. When the project received ap• proval from the Ontario Leg- islature , it was felt that the smaller buildings would be more personal and thereby conducive to studying and small group discussions. As the new residence, construction commences, there will bt in the area of $20 million in expenditures tied up in campus additions. psychology before b e i n g clumsily dismissed, breathed a lot of twentieth century thought into Lakehead University and set off much of the critical di¥tlogue concerning universities which has been heard both here and across Canada over the last year.

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 24th Fencing Fencing will take place from 8-10 p.m. Psychology Club Last Thursday the Psychology Club opened up its second term of existence. Despite our unfortunate lack of publicity, the turn-out was excellent and the attending intellectuals settled back in their chairs to enjoy the academy award win· ning movie, "Profile of a Problem Drinker". The movie failed in its attempt to be graphically factual, but did, however , succeed in massaging the viewers' funny bone at various and numerous places. It presented a "year in the life" of a "typical" alcoholic and, with• out a doubt, could serve as an exciting episode in "As the World Turns" . Despite its minor drawbacks, it was , nevertheless, (in view of the approaching Winter Carnival) truly in the "spirit" of things and I wish more (rather, some) Foresters had attended. As you read this, I hope you are planning to attend tonight's meeting at 7:00 p. m. in Rm. 1029. As I write this I hope Dr. Chou, a well-known local psychiatrist will be guest speaker. Watch the posters. Only a pathetic four hundred copies of this year's yearbook , The Nor'Wester, were sold. A hopeful rise in sales was expected due to students' receiving their student loans , but apparently a better use for their money was found. Any chance of receiving a copy at the end of the year is verysmall for the exact amount purchased will be turned over to the printer at the end of this month. At present, 150 of last year's yearbooks grace the shelf of the yearbook office , appearing to be just collecting dust, but supposedly being saved for public relation purposes. As the AMS subsidizes each yearbook to the extent of $5.00 per issue, a loss of $750 has been incurred to date from last year's yearbooks . the ARGUS Conservatives active on campus Progressive Conservatives stodgy? Ask Gerda. The core of L.U.'s newly organized Young Progressive Conservative Club has now been completed. The campus club has had its constitution passed by the A.M.S.; and the club's nucleus is formed. The campus party is now prepared to take in new members who would be interested in associating themselves with the PC.'s on campus. In early February Duff " Muffed" Roblin (who was unable to arrive in Decem- Yearbook Sales ber) will be visiting the university - for sure this time. A number of other leading Conservative figures have expressed an interest in visiting the university. In the fall of this year the club will be expecting Tory leader Robert Stanfield on campus.

Also present was the Vice President of the Canadian Union of Students, Don Mitchell, University of Saskatchewan, Regina. Council voted to accept the presentation of the Ukrainian Club Brief to the Senate on behalf of the student body. Expenses of $104 were approved for delegate, Julie Weirzbicki, to the O.U.S. O.C.U .F .A. Conference . Miss Weirzbicki will present a report to Council on the results and value of the conference. CUS Resolution Council disscussed at length Priority 03 in the Resolutions of the 31st Congress of C.U.S. Priority 03 is the report on Universal Accessability . As members of C.U.S . , Council must ratify the Res• olutions. The disscussion appears to be aimed at estab- lishing a policy for next year's delegates to the Congress from Lakehead U. For openers "Education is a fundamental human right." prompted Mike Barkwell to voice his preference f01 the word "privilege" instead of "right". Argus editor Chuck Grieve stated that education is necessary to survival, at which point debate broke out over "necessity" in terms of personal as opposed to econo: mic gains; the implication of 'right' as financial responsibility, until the Chair requested Don Mitchell to give an interpretation. The C. U.S. Vice Pres. infonned Council that education is guaranteed equal to all by Act of Parliament, and therefore, a right. On the clause dealing with economic and ethnic discrimination perpetuated by the present educational and soc i al system, Don Cordingly took exception and said "You gotta prove it to me." Several instances of discrimination between students of equal academic standing from upper and lower class families were cited by councillors from School of Nursing. Pro- and anti- establishment lines were drawn up on the clause stating that academic and living costs of education render it inaccessible to many and set up psychological barriers to others. Economics Bert Baumam, mentioned that economic factors inhibit females from taking advantage of opportunities in education as they can't make enough money in the 5ummer. Bill Weiler stated that the present system discourages students from low income families from continuing their education. Don Mitchell pointed out that town students must borrow more and therefore pay back more money than students living at home in University cities. Don Cordingly· exclaimed ''You are all a bunch of hypocrites. The system is great, but at least I admit it! I've got two c:ars - the system is great." Much bickering and vernacular expression prompted the Chair to remind Council that "These issues are really very important!" Don Mitchell felt that the students who do not make it for financial reasons are costly to the economy of the country in unrealized potential and that free tuition would be one remedy, since tuition is only a token I 7% of the cost of each student's education. Several students present at the meeting voiced the opinion that universal accessability would raise the academic standards of our educational institutions because of increased competition for facilities. Following is the results of 2 straw votes: a)"Therefore be it resolved that the Canadian Union of Students reject in principle all systems of financial aid which involve loans, means tests, or conditions implying mandatory parental support, and (vote- 7 for- 9 against) b)declares that a system of student stipends must be a adopted to achieve equality of educational opportunity, (vote- 5 for- 9 against) Apparently nine of your representatives can't see that the present system is detrimental to the whole economy, as well as personal achievements of the individual. Council passed a motion to hire a lawyer to look into incorporation of the A.M.S. Bill Weiler motioned that the A.M.S. petition the authorities to drop the 80% attendance regulation. Motion carried. Bill Weiler is to take over the undefined duties of C.U.S. chainnan until the elec'tion, at which time the question 'to have or not to have a c:u.s. chairman wiU be decided. C.U.S. Vice President noted that the trend in Canada now is for the Councils lt, set up committees to deal with C.U.S. work.

And each team has in its possession· a tandem bicycle. Picture one team pulling off their rear wheel about five minutes before race time . It seized on them. It had done the same thing the night before and they had pulled it apart only to find three flat bearings in the hub. Picture another team with gear sprockets that spread apart so that the gears were useless. And still another bunch of students with a front tire with no less than three bulges on it. Their rear sprocket broke at ~ crucial point of the race. Meanwhile, the team with the seized wheel had passed most of the others, only to suffer a blow-out. And as they were executing one of the finest pit stops in the race, the leading crew drove back looking for oil. They had a seized wheel. What happened to the others we haven't heard yet. All we know is that there was not one crew that was not hampered by at least one mechanical failure . And you think the riders were crazy to attempt the ride? We sort of think so too, in looking back over the ride. But the reason we think it was madness was purely because of the shape those bikes were in when they were rented by the students. Yte wouldn't rent scrap like those bikes if our lives depended on 1t. Letters I am thoroughly disgusted. In the interests of fair play, honesty, perseverence, and abstinence, how can the AMS say they won the race when they packed up at the border, unpacked before each town, and then headed to Duluth? Mother truckers! That's what they are. They packed their bike into their truck and passed the teams that were peddling, only to have the fair playing, honest, persevering, abstaining teams pass them again. Mothers! Then they had the unmitigated gall to declare themselves the winners when they arrived at the UMD campus. But they failed to state how they arrived . As a firm believer in righteousness and truth, I wish to make known the real facts. Residence won , the ARGUS came a very, very dose second, and honourable mention should be given to the third-place SAS for lending the ARGUS their spare tire and tube. AMS didn't even place. Gord Fukushima Sir: I think I'll add a little verse, In confidence that it can be no worse Than last week's quibble from Day Laban Or the scribble above from my humble hand. Madam Laban would have us believe That a mis-6pelled word can in fact relieve The sense from a sentence, even a letter ... On her next notion I wish her better. Although they suffice when there's nothing to say And for avoiding issues there's no better way; ' It seems to escape Mrs. Laban That semantic arguments rarely stand. I'd hate to suggest she lacked vocabulary But considering the context it seems contrary To make ''panathea" into panacea Instead of the much more likely a~athema. I know this is getting quite absurd But strange things happen to the printed word And they happen to the very best of us ' When writing stuff for the mighty Argus. Now if the point, as Mrs. Laban insists, Revolves about how a word can twist And if "devoted to evil" or anathem; Replaces ''remedy for all ills" or pan;cea ... Then my argument is won, Laban is defeated; But, I think she might feel a little cheated So I invite her back to the "student power 11' fray Trusting tat next time she will have more to say. Until that time I stand my ground And claim the original argument ;ound.•• That the institution as it exists • Is defended by "corporate liberal" apologists. And the bookstore I'll continue to avoid, Of useful service it's most devoid. Except for those demanded by courses, I buy my books from other sources. vvhite - \Nash of the year avvard By TOM MacLEOD A recent incident involving the Port Arthur Police Department and a fleeing traffic accident suspect takes my nomination for the white-wash of the year award. The case involved the shooting an d subsequent serious wounding of a fleeing suspect. From the very first, this whole affair was handled witli. ineptitude and total disregard for standard procedure. INVESTIGATION AUTOMATIC The Chief of Police, Mr. Harty, realized that an investigation would have to be undertaken. But he did not suspend the constable involved. In every police force, when such an investigation is necessary, the person involved is automatically suspended froip his job un• • til the investigation is completed. If the person is absolved of blame, he is then re-instated to the force with full paiy for the period of suspension. Mr. Harty did not suspend the constable even though his actions and competence were under investigation. AOUITAL NOT WARRANTED The subsequent investigation did absolve the constable of blame, but I feel the evidence did not warrant an acquital. The man who was shot had fled from a traffic accident in Current River and had taken refuge in a nearby hotel. He was arrested there by two police officers. If this man was dangerous he should have been handcuffed in the ho~el. But he was not, and he m :maged to escape. The pursuing constable drew his gun and then, according to his account, tripped and fell and by so doing shot the fleeing suspect by accident. Why did this constable have his gun out in t h e first place? He had no business having his gun out unless he intended to shoot the man. HEAVY TRIGGER PULLS The guns used by Port Arthur police are almost impossible to discharge by accident. They have very heavy trigger pulls about ten pounds - unless they are cocked first. In the latter case, the guns have very light trigger pulls. The constable had his gun cocked before he fell. But a gun is never cocked until t h e second before the gun is to be fired. The constable involved had considerable experience in hand gun handling, and was fully aware of this fact. Therefore the constable's actions would appear to have been both irresponsible and dangerous. SHOULD HAVE BEEN SUSPENDED In the light of these facts, the constable should, at the very least, have been suspended for his actions, pending an inquiry. If Chief Harty suspends anyone in the future it will not be a matter of course, but rather a private verdict of guilty from the Police Chief. The inquiry, in absolving the constable, has also sanctioned poor procedure and unsafe gun handling. On the whole, I feel that the whole incident has been · white-washed . �January 18, 1968 Page THE ARGUS WINTER CARNIVAL photos by drew and zatulsky • �THE ARGUS January 18, 1968 MARG BURNS represents her own faculty of Engineering and Mining Technology in the Carnival Queen competition.

Admission to this wild and wooly affair is by Formal Ball The Port Arthur Armoury will be the location of the most exciting event of the 1968 Winter Carnival. An estimated 950 students from Lakehead University and Lakehead Teachers College will be received between the hours of 8:45 and 9:45 p.m. The occasion, of course, is the Winter Carnival Formal Ball, the highlight of the Carnival Week. Suspense will mount as midnight approaches and the judges prepare to announce the winners of the Car Draw, the Faculty receiving the Winter Carnival Trophy, and, finally, the Princess who will reign as Carnival Queen for 1968. Music will be provided by one of Canada's top dance bands of seventeen pieces under the leadership of Ellis McLintock. There will be a light buffet lunch served throughout the evening. The Canadian Army has given their fullest cooperation, and will tend the two bars with no less than sixteen bartenders. They have also provided two doormen, dressed in 1867 military uniforms, to escort the ladies from their cars. The Army has made arrangements for the Central School Parking Lot to be available for use by those attending. The Formal Ball promises to be the gala affair of the year and certainly something you would not want to miss out on. a small fee and a Carnival button.

Nobody will phone his parents if he doesn't turn up. And yet both Duncan and his parents feel he is getting a far better education this year than in past years. Duncan is a student at the Barker Free School in Vancouver -- one of a new hr eed of schools th;tt are rapidly cropping up across the nation. Nobody knows exactly what a free school is. Between Christmas and New Year's, representatives of eight free schools from across the cotmtry spent several days at the New School in Vancouver trying to ;,mswer, among other things, that very qutstion. NON-CONCLUSION REACHED The conclusions reached were more non-conclusions. Those present learned they agreed on some things, disagreed on others. The only thing they were unanimous upon was that the present public school system is incapable of coping with modern educational requirements. Represented at Vancouver were Toronto's Everdale Place, Toronto's Rochdale College, Winnipeg's Who House, the Winnipeg Free School, the Viewpoint nonschool at Argentia, B.C., Vancouver's New School, Barker Free School and Knowplace. With the exception of Rochdale College , all these schools or non-schools cater to elementary or secondary schoolage students. Rochdale is a co-operative residence for college-age students that strives to offer a unique educational environment. But while those who staff the schools are less than certain how to describe their operations, the students who attend have few, if any, reservations. PROBLEM CHILD Take Duncan Innes for example. Before he was sent to the Barker Fre·e School, he was what is known as a "problem ·child." "I didn't get along," says Duncan, an unusually articulate youngster for his age, describing his public school career. "I used to throw things and get into trouble." Duncan says his mother sent him to Barker because of this rebelliousness, "I always liked to hear them shout at me," be says. "But now I ClassHied Lost- one young man known as Fred.

Butz Box 10 Howard Hall Ohio University Athens, Ohio 45701 U.S.A. like school." Last year, while attending public school, Duncan missed 30days because he was sick." "Sick of school, I guess," he says. To date this year he has missed only one day . "But I didn't have to say I was sick. I just didn't feel like going so I went somewhere else instead." Each school day for Duncan begins with a meeting. The students at his school •• all elementary age •· attend a general meeting each morning at which they decide what they will do for the day. This aspect of the free school is generally widespread •· the active participation by students in the decision-making processes of the school. "If the teachers want one thing and we want another, we outvote them," Duncan says. BETTER OR WORSE EDUCATION The crucial question, however, is whether the free school gives a better edu• cation than the tradi~fonal public school. "I feel I am learning more now than I was before,'' says Duncan. A schoolmate of Duncan's 14-year-old Clay Ray, was less willing to assert this point, but admitted it was generally so. "But sometimes the teachers get pushy and try to run things. Then we won't talk to them, and we don't find out anything." Clay , brushing back his shoulder-length blonde hair (there are no dress restrictions in free schools) , tells of the type of things he does at school. "Well, one time we built a still,'' he says . The question was obvious . What were they going to do with the still? .. Make booze, I guess." Make booze! Wouldn't the teachers object? "No, not really. But we never got to make the booze because the little kids wrecked the still." ·s uppose they-hadn't wrecked the still, would yon have known how to make booze? "Oh, it's simple," explainel Clay, somewhat eager to display his knowledge. "You make a mash and you put yeast in it . .. " He went on to explain quite clearly the process of fermentation. Then he described how the different liquids in the mash boiled at~ifferenttemperatures and how this enabled one to separate the vapors in a still and then condense the vapqrs to get booze. "Of course, you can use it for other things. like making clean water," he added. Here was a 14-year-old boy at an elementary school level giving me a somewhat com- prehensi ve high-school physics and chemistry lecture. NEEDS MUST BE MET "The main thing is to meet the needs •· both personal and academic •• that the kids themselves recognize," explains Gordon Mackie, a student at the University of Manitoba and one of the most articulate spokesmen for the free school ~ovement: He is curre]ltly mvolved m getting up a free school in Winnipeg for dissatisfied high school students and dropouts. The mainstream schools aren't meeting their needs," he says. "For the student it is a question of what I need to know. You can't tell me what I need to know." For example, three- , four- , and five-year-old kids need to learn to read. They know this. Everything they see around them is in print. You give them books and you should watch them gobble them up." With the youths he is working with in Winnipeg, the needs are different, Mackie says . "These kids need to know how to structure interpersonal relationships . At the conventional high school level relationships seem to be based on economic rather than human grounds •· you know, the best guy:is the one with the flashiest car." Bob Barker, the founder of the Barker Free School, generally agrees. A balding 54, he is a senior figure in the movement. LEARNING TO COPE "What we are trying to do is bring people up so that they are best able to cope with life today and life tomorrow. The mainstream schools are failing at this for two reasons. "First, the means of the traditional school -are too limited. You can't educate people when you have 40 to a class. "Second, there is the bogey and fear of public opinion. Public school teachers, because they are public servants, are afraid to act. But so are politicians, and they are acting all the time . I call it a bogey because I · don't think it actually exists." Mr. Barker feels the "whip theory of education" •• his label for the public school system •· does not produce persons capable of coping with lifo. "All it produces are narrowly educated robots. We don't want kids to qualify for the status quo; we want them to qualify for changing the status quo. The most important thing is what we are doing for the kids. " FINANCIAL PROBLEMS Butwhile they are success- MARINA INN I/ (Mariaggi) Make the Ti/tin' Hi/tin your permanent home away from home Come in and see our student residence rooms ful de aling with youngsters, the free schools are having definite problems ensuring themselves financial security. They are officially private schools and as such are not eligible for government grants. Mr. Barker admits his school would have been out of business this year if the Company of Young Canadians had not agreed to pay the salaries of his staff. "We charge parents what they can afford to pay, but this doesn't nearly cover our costs. If it weren't for the CYC, we couldn't have operated this year.'' As in most free schools (the New School in Vancouver is an exception), Mr. Barker's staff are paid minimal salaries. The CYC also pays salaries at the Toronto area's Everdale Place and Vancouver's Knowplace. Mr. Barker hopes some of the financial problems will be met by an independent foundation now being incorporated by a group of Vancouver business and professional people. The foundation will attempt to raise funds for free schools. "But if we don't get CYC help next year, we could be in trouble," he says . Right now he doesn't know where next year's funds are coming from . SAME PROBLEMS ACROSS COUNTRY Across the country other free schools are facing the same problems and trying to cope with them. In Winnipeg_, he hopes to get some support from the University of Manitoba Students' Union. Because of recent moves toward student involvement in pre-university educational reform, he admits there is a good chance for this . But he also knows the prospects are less than certain. The free-schoolers are still groping to determine their ultimate goals. Their financial operations are hanging by a shoestring. But in spite of this, two definite conclusions could be drawn from the deliberations in Vancouver last month. The first is that the freeschoolers believe they are the vanguard in a revolution that is rapidly changing education as we know it today . Already they are citing Ontario's move towards ungraded public schools as a step in this direction. They also cite the Campbell River, B. C. high school as an example of where the free-school methods have infiltrated the mainstream system. Here class attendance is non-compulsory, students are allowed to smoke in the school, and such things as dress restrictions don't exist. "But there is only one fault with the Campbell River system," Barker says. "If the students don't keep up their grades, they have to attend classes." GRADUATES DIFFER The second thing that is clear is that the youngsters who are coming out of the free schools are going to be very different from our normal school system's product. They will not be complacent acceptors of the status quo. They wilJ not be apathetic _ citizens. They will be the ._., product of an organized attack against the existing educational structure, and they are going to expand this attack onto other areas of society.

DAVID GARMAISE. for Canadian University Press t Yellowjacket goalie Gary Lapinskie, shown here after making a save, was one of the main reasons behind the Nor-Wester double loss over the weekend. photo by zatulsky Policeman lauded A lone bandit robbed the Bay-Algoma Streets Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce of $2,400 at 12:30 p.m. Feb. 1st. Local press accounts state simply that a suspect was apprehended one and a half hours later on Mac·har Ave. News stories concerning police action frequently omit credit where it is due. Thi::; case was no exception. Sgt. Jim Higgins possessed only the briefest description of the robber when he observed a man hastily re-enter a building on Machar Ave., after spotting his cruiser. Acting on a slim hunch, Sgt. Higgins located the man and brought him to the Bay-Algoma St. Bank. As the man walked ahead into the bank, the teller who had been on duty during the robbery looked up and screamed. Thus, a major crime was solved with admirable efficiency. Had Sgt. Higgins remained comfortable in his car, the robbery, like the previous one at that branch two years ago, might have gone permanently unsolved. Had he, upon apprehending the suspect, failed · to devise a certain method of identification, one that would make excellent evidence in court, the case might wen have fallen apart when confused witnesses picked wrong persons from a line-up. Through strong personal initiative, Sgt. Higgins established a record of efficiency that, in a difficult case of this type, might well stand as a record anywhere. He acted on a hunch. but on a hunch that was backed by half a 1fretime on The Force; he followed through in a manner consistent with his Honours Graduation from the Ontario Police College. It is this type ot performance that raises police work to the level of a profession. MONTREAL (CUP)-"Some students are :;•J used to listening to lectures and studying by themselves, that their ability to have an intellectual discussion with a fellow student on a new subject is severely limited." 'This is on.e of the conclusions reached by McGill lecturer Donald Kingsbury in his thirty-two page report on the McGill Students' Society Project in Course Design. The report, released this weekend, was started in May, 1966, by the University Affairs Committee with a budget of $960. from the Students' Council. Working with Kingsbury were John F'ekete, Robert Hajaly, Kim Liljefors, and Mark Wilson. The first phase of the program was a pilot project on "communication " The eighteen participating students were divided into groups of two cailed "diads", and were given printed material, designed by Kingsbury, to prompt their ·behavior and discussion. The organizers found "some students carried over such lecture behavior as being too shy to ask clarifying questions when they didn't understand because they didn't want to appear stupid." "It bec&.me more and more evident as we brought other groups into the project that almost every university student shows severe behavior deficiencies in areas of activity suppressed during lectures and during study activities Ii'.k e writing papers and reading,"' "Some students can wrte with ease about subjects they cannot discuss . Some students can Think Along With Mitch perfectly, but are at a loss when their partner asks them a question that requires their tho11ght."" The report mentions that the communication course was never totally successful, but, "we did demonstrate the feasability of breaking up large classes into active diads and triads.,, "Imagine a room of thirty students formed into groups of two. one or two consultants wandering around the room helping with problems, the students working with sheets which structure their discussion, probing, questioning, reading, clarifying, summarizing, too deeply involved in each other to notice the noise. We had that for many weeks, twice a week." The second phase of the program was "course design.'" Seven groups were sef up-English, Philosophy, Chemistry, Psychology, Chemistry, Communication, and Sociology. The overriding ~clusion of these groups was that the - aims of education in these fields could not 1;)e fulfilled in the lecture context." In an afterword to the report, the authors conclude: "We do believe the activity at the university should at once lead to, and arise from, the conscious considerations of questions of value: what is needed, and how it is achieved. The report says tbe present university perpetuates society's managerial elite. It does this, the report suggests, by preventing any major questioning of the existing social order. • Presidential Two ,n TBC6 Two second year Arts students are the only declared candidates in the Presidential election to date (February 6). Mike Barkwell and Boyd Hussey have both filed nomination forms, declaring their intent to run for President of the AMS. Of the four positions to be filled in the elections February 21, only these two Boyd Hussey Mike Barkwell students have been nominated. Other positions are Vice President of Academics. Vice President of Programming, and Director of Finance. Only rumours have circulated about persons intending to run for the other four positions. �February 9, 1968 THE ARGUS Page 2 This Week •••• Senate presentation points to inadequacy Monday, F eh. 5 Chemistry Club Meeting -- HJ p.m. -- HOO Calendar Committee Meeting •· 3:30 p.m. •· BR Rhythmic Gym •• 7 p.m. •• Aud.

Two concommital events have recently showed the total ineffectiveness of the "gains" students have made in Senate representation. On Tuesday, January 30th, the AMS made its first formal representation to the Senate· in accordance with its newly granted permit. The brief presented concerned the re-institution of a student-initiated course, Ukrainian Oa6. The course has not been functional this year because it was ommitted from the mimeographed booklets which were substituted for the late calendars. Since the course was initiated by students in 1965, the AMS is concerned about maintaining the existence of this precedence, particularly since the course has proven itself financially, and since there is no apparent reason for its cancellation. After the presentation was made Tuesday, the futility of partial student representation became evident. Of the thirtyodd people present, not one asked a single question. As a result, there was no discussion, dialogue or debate, and the students once again could not participate in the decision making procedure. Reports filtering through various reputable sources spoke of the AMS brief being passed on to the Curriculum Committee ofthe Senate for another month's discussion. Whether or not a decision on this issue will be reached before the 1968-1969 calendar is printed is the great question. The second quiet event that has pointed up the student's inability to have his say became evident when the lists of the new Senate Cornrnittee%,were posted. The announcement of the existence of these Senate Committees shows that the Senate of this University is evolving to a different form of decision _ making procedure. When the Universitywas still smaller, the Senate was capable of dealing <ilBS is making a lot of noise about their with most problems. Formation of the Committees indicates that, in fact, decisions will now be made in those various committees, with recommendations corning to the Senate, basically, for a rubber stamp of approval. Of the ten Senate committees listed, students have representation on only three minor ones; Bookstore Committee, Library Committee, and the Special Events Committee. Decisions made of the nature discussed in the Scholarship Committee, Curriculum Committee, and Agenda Committee are by Day Laban. Richard Needham's speaking engagement of last Friday left one shaking one's head in disbelief: how can one man touch on so many topics in less than three-quarters of an hour, and yet say so little? Although he was hilariously funny in his methodical butchery of sacred cows, his was more the repertoire of the stand-up comic than the barbed wit of the satirist. I had the distinct feeling that this talk was carefully timed as to the number of "laughs" it would receive, rather than with coherence and relevance of content in mind. Yet it totally lacked spontaneity, the magic moment of the ad-lib, that certain something that separates the truly great humorist from the "teller-of-funny-stories". Maybe my appetite is jaded, but some of Mr. Needham's stories on Toronto have been doing the rounds of that fair city long enough to be able to buy their own subway-ticket. The Yorkville jokes had beards longer than the inhabitants of that area, and plagiarizing that "from bed to verse" punchline from Joe Wallace's poem "A Curse on Those Who 'Kiss and Tell" was enough to bring out pickets with signs reading (cont·d page 8) MARINA INN Water St. at Park announces the completion of the first two student rooms NOW OPEN FOR YOUR INSPECTION OUR SCENIC-VIEW Coffee Shop (Open 7 a. m. to 12 midnight) WIN A QUIET FORD!

So, in a quiet way this past week, these two events have shown the desperate need for fully participatory student Senators, particularly on the Committee named. Unlike other universities, Lakehead can effectively incorporate the opinion of the people they are making motions about. There's an AMS election this month.

It is printed here in the hopes that it will clarify once and for all the ..myth.. surrounding the "Harding issue... ) In the Jan. 18 Argus, you say I was "clumsily dismissed" as a lecturer in Psychology at Lakehead University. Foreseeing the possible confusion that may arise from this statement, I am taking the time to clarify the issue. I think the facts of the case give an insight into the subtle workings of hiring, firing and tenure in universities and show why the present setup contradicts the principles of academic freedom. It is worth giving a chronology of the issue over my rehiring: JAN. 31, 1967, When the vast majority of faculty got a letter offering them re-appointment, I received the following: "At the present time, we find it impossible to make any decision regarding an appointment for you at Lakehead University in the coming calendar." "Out of fairness to you, we felt that this statement should be made at this time. I would be pleased to discuss this matter with you if you so desire. Yours sincerely, W. G. Tamblyn." This letter left the matter totally with me. The "if you so desire" at the end of the letter does this, and is indicative of the bureaucratic ethos. It shows that a bureaucracy doesn't have any real responsibility to an individual person. If a conflict between an individual person and those with bureaucratic power develops, the onus is nicely put on the individual. To make sense of the mean- lay their decisions.

Then, more in a dialogue with himself, than with me, he went on: "If you chose to stay-up late at night writing, or talking to students, this is all to the good, provided this does not interfere with your availability during the normal working hours." In my opinion, Dr. Rothney was creating a straw man out of one incident in a poor a:itempt to find a rationale for his not advising that I be re-ap• pointed. When 4e stated that " ... every member of the staff should be available, either in his office or at home on the other end of the telephone line, or in the classroom, at least between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. as a general rule", if he was suggesting this as a criterion for rehiring, he would exclude almost the entire staff. That the vast difference between Dean Rothney's and my own idea of a university •· which indirectly, I will argue •· had something to do with the hesitation to rehire me, is shown by one statement in this letter: "If you do not like an institution, you do not have to work for it, but if you do choose to work for it, a certain amount of co-operation is necessary. I have taken some time to go into this official letter because it shows that the "reasons" were more fictional than real. To say the least, they were overgeneralized. That letter again left the issue in my lap by saying, in reference to the ambiguous and subjective criteria stated, "If this doubt can be removed, as I hope it can, there would be no hesitation about continuing your appointment next year." In the meantime, some students and faculty had indicated their feeling that I should be re-hired. (Thanks). No ban for Danes Eal'h time the U.S. Supreme Court considers and then overturns a censor's ban on pornography, Americans wonder where it will all lead. To an increase in sexual aberration? To corruption of youth? To an outpouring of filth from every newstand and bookshelf? Parallels with other countries are never exact, but some answers to the ques#ons may be fo_µnd Jn Denmark. Eight months ago, that country pecame the first in the west to pass a law abolishing all censorship of anything written, without ~xception. An end to pornography suppression was finally proposed in Parliament, and an extensive study was undertaken by the government's four..m.an permanent commission on criminal-law reform, made up of the nation's Ombudsman, tbe director of public prosecutions, professor off jurisprudence at the University oj Copenhagen and the· President of the Court of Appeals. With only the judge dissenting, the commission concluded that censorship should go. Last June, after a minimum of debate, the 176man Parliament agreed by an overwhelming vote of 159 to 13. What happened immediately, of course, a flood of ne'w books came out under such labels as the ·'Porno Series" and with such titles as "Stark-Naked", the story of a frigid girl whose theraphy by an orgasm expert is carefully detailed. The estatic exactness of description had not been legal before, and the publishers settled back to await the hordes of buyers. MIDDLE-AGED ONANISTS They never materialized. Unsold dirty books were sent back by newsstands and kipsks in staggering numbers. According to one publisher, about 75 percent of the first great overprinting of titles were returned. 1'Four to six months before the law was changed," says Publishing Adviser Jorgen Rothenborg," you would distribute 20,000 to 25,000 copies of a new pornographic title. Now, only about half of that number are printed, and a third of them come back. I suppose we only print for the onanists, and that's not youth, but mostly people from 45 to 65" agrees Publisher Hans Reitzel, who helped pave the way to reform: "There really is a very poor market in Denmark for erotic literature, now that it is no longer forbidden fruit." It is still too soon for conclusions about the law's long-range impact on Danish mores. which are already among Europe's most liberal. But since the law was passed, there has been no marked increase in sex-related c r i m e s, illegitimate pregnancies, homosexuality, veneral disease or even marriage. That being so, the government is next planning to abolish all censorship of movies and pictures. •- reprinted from Time Magazine, January 26, 1968. I became convinced that Lakehead did not have an atmosphere conducive to reform in teaching method (i.e. to enhance education and remove training and plaigarism in the university.) I had the chance to come to S. F. U. as a teaching assistant in sociology where I had reason to believe I would-have more freedom in my teaching methods. I am, in fact, more free here and I am not being scrutinized and singled out by the administration. This does not mean S.F.U. is an educational haven. It rather means that there are more here, honestly trying to develop a free education. FEB. 24, 1967. Nearly a month after the first letter, I did receive a proposal for appointment. I'm still not sure what happened and still found the statement in the letter "We trust that you understand the delay in this regard ... " I can't say on the basis of the things said or written by either of the Drs. that I do. But I have what I consider to be a warranted speculation. My chronology and analysis make it abundantly clear that I was not made a job offer in a typical manner, and that there clearly was an ambiguous uneasiness about making an offer. This was but another thing that showed me the links between hiring, firing and tenure and a conservatism that underlies the present failure of Canadian universities to take education out of the realm of rhetoric into that of reality. In my opinion and that of many others, here at S.F.U., hiring, and firing should be taken out of the hands of administration al together. They are well known for their subjectivities and prejudices. This would be one small beginning to democratizing the university and allowing education to happen.

It was fortunate for the reading public that Mr. Sheridan mentioned the title of the book and its author, Dr. K. J. Charles, in the opening paragraph and closing sentence; otherwise anyone having read The Myth of Inflation would be at a loss in attempting to connect the criticism to the book. u Mr. Sheridan's article lacks consistency of argument, misquotes Dr. Charles' viewpoints, misunderstands completely the author's discussion of inflation and demonstrates without a doubt that Mr. Sheridan has absolutely no comprehension of the economic environment in which the Canadian economy operates. Mr. Sheridan has made the one fatal mistake of college students: he has shrouded his mind with one fonn of social and economic organization, technocracy, and has refused to allow any other fonn of economic study to penneate his brain. For those who do not know the meaning of Technocracy, let me define it. It is a theory and movement (prominent in 1932) advocating control and management of industrial resources, together with reorganization of the social system for the common good, based on the findings of technologists and engineers. Just why technologists and engineers would make such excellent social scientists is beyond my comprehension so I will not take issue with the point. Let us proceed now to examine Mr. Sheridan's criticisms. Only the first paragraph gives any indication of just what Dr. Charles was talking about in his recently published book. Mr. Sheridan said, "Dr. Charles advocates, as did Keynes before him, that a government policy of deficit spending and a governmental aim of full employment could perpetuate the price system indefinitely." In a five column article this is all our eminent critic could find to say about. the book itself. The rest of the article is an inconsistent tirade about the merits of technocracy along with a rather poor and premature eulogy of the price system. In the first place, the above quotation from Sheridan's article shows his misunderstanding of the book. Dr. Charles argued against the application of the PURE Keynesian model to inflation in the Canadian economic system. He was able to show empirically that inflation was a "paper tiger" in the Canadian economy again and again Once again the AMS Executive has managed to stay on the fence completely, thereby allowing themselves a nice, clean name and a good job reference for next year. This time it is over a student being thrown out of a lecture for poor attendance. The last council meeting saw the AMS take a stand on the issue. However, the following day, they slipped back into their usual non-involved state. They failed completely to see that when they denied support for the student unconditionally, they also negated themselves of the flimsey position they were already in. Vice-President Barkwel I went so far as to tell the student; "If you don't like the system, get out". This by itself constitutes a complete lack of regard for the rights of student? he is supposed to represent. Our student leaders are turning out to be more damned administrators, totally out of touch, and totally disinterested in the rights and needs of students. There are four weeks left before the new executive takes office. This time try to elect your executive not by a personality vote, but by their concern for student interests. We know that the present administration is merely riding out the stonn until they are safely out of office, secure with their good names, and best friends with the university administration which is screwing the student in the ear every time he turns around. Let's take a minute and reflect on what the AMS Counci I has failed to do for us. They screwed us with the registration hassle, they fa~led completely over the principles involved with the parking fiasco, and now they have managed ,- to bugger us left, right and centre when they sold-out on the attendance issue. On the other hand, we've had lots of fun shows like old Gord Lightfoot, and we are soon to see Ian and Sylvia, at a token two bucks a shot. When are they going to realize that they are not merely a goddam booking agency for neat dances and other crap items which makes this place more like a high school than a university. It's about time that they got out of their coccoons and did something for us. Future student leaders need a precedent to go in the field of refonn and student's rights. Socially, this is one of the most progressive high schools in the country. Unfortunately, we are on the same level as Miss Fathishom's Boarding School for Young Virgins when it comes to student government. It just doesn't exist here. - ch and that the economic losses incurred in this country by trading employment for the price stability were monumental. He therefore advocated that the government pursue policies promoting economic growth and full employment, since the gains. from full employment would offset the losses from inflation a hundred fold. The reason why Dr. Charles calls inflation a "paper tiger" in Canada is because this country is so abundant in natural resources, has the fastest growing labour force of almost any industrial country, and has a surplus of capital stock to call on at any time excess demand might arise. Thus there should be no fear of demand-pull inflation of the type Keynes analyzed in his General Theory. In other words, our price system, contrary to what Mr. Sheridan thinks, is not in danger. To substantiate this, let me quote Dr. Charles' book, page 71. "The study of relative prices and their behavior during the post war inflation in the United States and Canada seems to show that the increases in the price level experienced in North America so far have not impaired the efficiency of the price system as an allocatmechanism." If Mr. Sheridan requires more empirical proof, I suggest he re-read the book. To discount Sheridan's contention that Dr. Charles advocated Keynesian policies, I quote The Myth of Inflation, page 75. Canadian "economic policies by and large gaily ignore the complications of the real world and apply the restrictive policies appropriate to inflationary situations of the ideal Keynesian model to deal with all price increases." In other words the economic policies of Lord Keynes vis-a-vis inflation are inappropriate to the Canadian environment. Havingdealtwith Dr. Charles let us now examine Mr. Sheridan. As to the fact that employers exchange working hours for purchasing power, I concede, as would any four year old who gets 25 cents a week for taking the garbage out for his mother. Mr. Sheridan, however, contends that with advancing technology, more and more human labour is replaced by machine laoour with the result that there is a lack of effective demand. There is an abundance pf production and Sir, yet nobody has the money to 0uy it. If this be the case, then Attached is a copy of page 14 why, might I ask, was the of the Argus, December 7, 1967, Canadian economy able to gen- issue.

And nobody will be particularly anxious to pull you out. The Argus this year has been the best ever, but eternal vigilance is the price of integrity as well as liberty. Sincerely, T. B. Miller Chairman Department of History �Page 6 February 9, 1968 THE ARGUS January: hovv vvent the vvar? By John Kelsey CUP Staff Writer While college editors spent January, 1968, lancing obscenities through clouds of pot smoke, the war between students and the world escalated quietly. Noisy protests erupted in only five cities,down somewhat from November's anti-Dow protest fever, but legislative battles for student senators were won in five more. A University of Western Ontario student dramatically ascended to the board of governors, and the University of Alberta rejected a student governor. "We don't believe in student power," said U of A president, Al Anderson. Three University of B.C. senators asked their constituentsif they could quit because they weren't getting anywhere, and the univerc:ity of Calgary's academic president did quit because he couldn't talk to his board. And across the country, students cooled it in drunk tanks as winter carnival fever highballed through central Ontario, Manitoba, and the Lakehead. The most visible battlefronts last month were in Quebec City and Waterloo, Ontario. At Waterloo Lutheran, the university fired two protPc:c:ors, George Haggar and Gray Taylor. Both were good teachers, but both were loudly critical of the university and its administration. Four hundred students retaliated with a class boycott and day-long teach-in Jan. 17, but the student council backed down and refused to support the action. The Canadian Association of University Teachers is investigating, nobody's been rehired, and the issue is in for a several month stall. But a week later, 1,000 Quebecois students travelled to Quebec city to demonstrate outside the legislature. Grievance? Government channels had held 33,000 of 68,000 student loan applications in red tape masses, causing starvation on the campuses. The minister promised to speed it up, but UGEQ leaders called it a stalemate. The biggest fight of all is shaping in Saskatchewan, where premier Ross Thatcher has raised tuition fees, removed high school teacher's bargaining rights and assumed direct financial control of the university. Students, teachers, professors and staff are mad. As hell. It will remain just a battle of words until F eh. 5, when the legislature reconvenes to enact Thatcher's threats. Student organizers are waiting. and organizing. A FREER PRESS The other visible eruptions were rel a ti vel y minor: engineers atthe University of Toronto snowballed anti-Dow protestors, and University of Windsor students rallied for a free student press. There, the 100 who marched through the snow protested the administrationforced resignation of Lance co-editors John Lalor and Marian Johnstone. It took more rallies, a strong student council statement of support and a Canadian University Press investigation, but editor Johnstone was re-instated and and the paper's autonomy guaranteed. Lalor is still out. What started it all? A few shits, and Jerry Farber's, the Student as Nigger. Lalor.'s not the only editor out for obscenity -- Argosy Weekly editor Allan Rimoin was fired by the university president Jan. 31, after a hassle caused indirectly by the same article. His publications advisory board is against him, and the whole mess in Sackville is obfuscated by a haywirenewspaperconstitution. "They all agree the constitution should be re-written, but they think it's expedient to fire me first," Rimoin said. Meanwhile, 17 college papers in Canada have printed the Student as Nigger piece, partly as a solidarity gesture Canada - land of paupertunity oy Karl A. J. Goodwin Somehow the conference on "Poverty in the Affluence" turned out to be a non-happening in Winnipeg, from a conference standpoint anyway. Four delegates, including myself, attended the sessions which included traditional presidential greetings and a movie, followed by a discussion on whether or not a poor Montrealer should be free to alleviate his money by allowing himself the luxury of mushrooms when he was unable to support his ten kids (one of which was born nude and uncensored in living 16mm). Everyone jumped at the opportunity to say what he had to say, like "Canned mushrooms are expensive and not nutritious." The completion of the Great Mushroom Debate formed launching pad for discussion on how we sixty some delegates could do our share to "stomp out poverty". A random consensus indicated that' 'Something has to be done." THE "REDS" BLED In th~ '_'work group" in wh~ch I _participated, th~ Cana~1an Indian was put under discussion.

Most realized the "government should do something". Suggestions for improvement seemed to be rather limited. Structuring procedure controlled radical ideas. It was also brought to our attention that there were no Indians in the "work group". A white representative on Indian Affairs left on another affair, ten minutes after discussion started. Other groups I found were apparently discussing how to make welfare agencies more concerned with welfare, and churches more Christian-like and charitable and how to create meaningful jobs for thousands of jobless people stuck in the rut. A talk from a Baptist minister from the District of Washington made the interested aware that the American Negroes were upset with their bag too. floor from its "bed" (the kitchen table). PANEL SHAMBLE The convention proper wound up with a panel discussion, during which an economist from Winnipeg, in rather an expensive looking suit, concluded that "poverty was only a temporary thing". • A summation reported that social workers should be freer to say what they wanted without fear of being fired.

The tempests grow deeper when you read the article itself -- each flurry reinforces its .message. The people in universities -- students and teachers -- don't control universities. Negroes in America are second-class citizens, and so are studentsin universities. SENA TE STORMING Academocratically, five campuses got a total of 17 senators. Seven are at the University of Manitoba, the largest catch to date. Dalhousie and the University of Victoria got three each, Brock got two, and St. Francis Xavier got two. But St. F .X.' s aren't real -- they don't vote. One of them, council president John Gorman, profusely praised the university's liberal administration anyway. Students also advanced on the senate committee front. Dalhousie, Memorial of Newfoundland and Waterloo all got students onto key planning committees. The total so far is 15 universities with senators, and negotiations are now on at the University of Toronto and McGill in Montreal. The University of B.C. got its four senators last spring. They've been there long enough to conclude the senate will never open its secret chamber, so three went to a student meeting and asked their constituents for permission to quit. Students said no, planned a mass sit-in at the next senate meeting, and negotiations with the senate for openness opened again. The explosion was slated for St. Valentine's day, but the threat has both sides talking again and it's been cancelled. The studtmts senators. so far CUSSTABLE Last year's major battleground, the country-wide CUS front, enjoyed relative peace -one in (Prince of Wales College) and none out. A new ?rop-out front may be opening m the Canadian University Press, with one out and two in.

POT SMOKE And everywhere the pall of pot smoke. The university of Manitoba discovered some profs smoke it. Winnipeg's good burghers blew their collective cool. Catholic Loyola of Montreal outlawed drugs of all kinds, shortly after police found 100 hippies stoned in a Montreal church. Finally, January bodes ill for the early blooming student activists in Ontario. A committee of university presidents meeting at Waterloo Jan. 20 declared, "There is no such thing as a student right to representation in the university government." Academocracy leads to sham democracy, they said. They're not the only ones catching on. Toronto Star business columnist Jack MacArthur, who talks directly to those who own Canada, Jan. 30 warned that if student power ever gets out of control and takes over the university, students might use it for their own ends and not the country's ends. State power moves in, crushingly, he said. Believe it. Don't Forget your heart's desire Morning Drag?

After I cut them apart for not showing up for a broomball game, my own faculties hockey team does not show up for a game against Business. (disgusting) In the latest episode of the perils of Bill Horychuck, Bill forgot the top to his uniform when the team went to St. Cloud. Everyone only brought their whi te uniforms except Bill, who brought his blue tops and white bottoms. Bill borrowed "Shoot, Shoot", Lou Pero's top, (Lou is Bill's hero), after Shoot Shoot fouled out early in the second half. Rob Woods sure laughed at Bill, but Bill got the last laugh as Rob forgot his practice uniform top the next week. Everyone was reluctant to lend Rob a shirt because they thought he would spread the latest epidemic known as body odour plague. Next week the basketball team makes its final home intercollegiate appearance against Cambrian College of the Soo. Earlier this year LU and Cambrian split the series in Cambrian and LU is out to beat them twice. On the hockey front, LU plays the undefeated Lake Superior College team in two important ICHA matches. Go Nor'Westers Go! Go Fans Go! And Support Your Teams. The cheerleaders have been working hard to promote school spirit, but without much success because of fan apathy. Now the cheerleaders are hoping to raise enough fan interest to get a bus load of kids down to Ashland for the basketball teams last intercollegiate game this year on Feb. 17. Lets have a packed bus so we can all have a fun trip. In case you haven't heard, the fieldhouse opening has been delayed again (what news), because the basketball lines in the key were not centered. Don Holmstrom of the Nor'Wester's hoop team is again making headlines. Don, a sophomore, has scored over 1000 varsi u points which breaks Bob Elvin's former variety record. Don ha~ scored 423 points this year while he potted 581 last -year. Roy Holman is second high scorer this year with a varsity total of 189 in 18 games. Girls, in case you're interested, Don's phone number is 622-4190. The ski and squash team hopefuls have been diligently at work lately in order to make the two intercollegiate teams. Both have upcoming intercollegiate meets scheduled. Last year the squash team did not fare too well in the Ontario championships, but this year's team has that year of experience on their side and could conceivably win the title. The ski team, on the other hand, is defending OIAA champs and I think we can certainly look forward to another top-notch team under the capable direction of Bob Morgan. The only member of last year's team who will definitely not try out this year is Tom Morton, (last year's Male Athlete of the Year at L. U.), who graduated. With the addition of Tim Hanarhan to the L.U. hopefuls it looks like Morton's loss can be coped with. Bob Morgan of the ski team is very disappointed in turnouts for his free lesso11s every Tues. and Thurs. at 12:30 on the hill in front of the U. All I can say is it's too bad because Bob is a great teacher, but the lack of participation is typical of the apathetic sports scene at L.U . ••• The S.A.S. seems to be leaving a lot of work of the interform program up to "Coach Hank" and the results are that the program has fallen apart. A bit more organization and participation by the S.A.S. would help. As the hockey season ·comes to a close, injured hockey goalies return to ixactice. Boyd Hussey has returned to practice after being out of action for a month with a broken jaw. Boyd feels his injury was a type of blessing in disguise because he has since lost some weight and has been nominated as a candidate for the President of the A.M.S. Meanwhile Al "The Cat" Johnson feels in good enough shape to return, although he is not sure since Mrs. Dusang has offered him a position in her modem dancing class. The way things appear it looks as if Chinese students would certainly have a stranglehold on interform table tennis. They're unbeatable. The Lakehead University basketball team defeated the Wisconsin State Yellowjacket Junior Varsity team 65 - 60 Sunday to avenge Saturday's 76 - 64 loss. Saturday a sluggish Nor' Wester defence allowed the Yell ow jackets to pot many easy shots while Don Holmstrom's 36 JI points at least kept L.U. in the game. The Yellowjackets had a well-balanced attack and fine control of both the offensive and defensive boards, allowing them to take control of the game. The Yellowjackets were led by Kober who hooped 16, but .he was also aided by three other teammates who scored in double figures. Rob Cameron, was the second highest scorer behind Holmstrom, with 9. Wisconsin was sparked by Kober who controlled the boards and Seavals who dominated scoring in the last IO minutes of the game.

THE ARGUS First European Setninar on detnocratization of education EDITORS NOTE: The writer is an associate secretary for the Canadian Union of Students. one of two CUS representatives at th1> seminar. By Bob Baldwin, for Canadian University Press. DUBLIN, IRELAND, JAN. 19 (CUP) -- It isn't just the Iron Curtain that separates student movements in the world. This is the conclusion that can be drawn from the political alignments of the representatives of- the various national unions of students attending First European Seminar on the Democratization of Education, co-sponsored by the International Union of Students (IUS) and the Union of Irish Students (USI), January 17 - 19. For the allignment was not the traditional East-West dichotomy. There were three factions; the East European unions, the West European non-syndicalist unions and the syndicalist unions. And from the point of view of leftness on the political spectrum, the syndicalis'ts held the field. The tone was set by the firs't paper presented, an analysis byRylardStemplowski of the ZSP (Poland). The following passage was adopted almost unquestioned by all delegates except those from the NUS (Britain), the SUS (Scotland) and the USI (Ireland): "The aim of the process of democratization is to achieve a democratic education based on the following principles: -university; -free education and economic guarantees; -unitarism; -progressive and democratic content of education." This process must have "internal integrity," Stemplowski said. "The principles of democratic education are linked with each other and one has to put them into practice simultaneously.'' Stemplowski contended that "the process of democratization is more advanced in the socialist countries than in the capitalist ones." This provoked an instant response from Geoff Martin of Britain who irrevocably committed himself to the statement that a socialist country was not a prerequisite. Most vocal in opposing Martin's view were three syndicalist unions from capitalist countries, Jean-Marcel Bouguereau of UNEF' (France), Harold Breher of UGEQ (Quebec) and Jeff Wellans of VVS (Belgium-Flemish). These groups all emphasized the essential political and ideological nature of education which inevitably becomes bound up with interest of the controlling group in a society. They view the new role of the university as a factory for "learned robots" as being mere reflections of the needs of the capitalist class in an industrial society. Not unexpectedly, several East European unions sought to justify universal accessibility as an investment by government in the future increased productivity of university graduates, thus subtly differing from the syndicalist view. This was especially evident in the stand of Sijbolt Noords of the NSR (Romania). Only UGEQ and YUS (Yugoslavi·a) thought to justify universal accessibility in terms of developing a critically aware society through education. In terms of strategy, the three schools of thought were definitely delineated. • The Western European nonsyndicalists preferred to direct their efforts toward close consultation wi~ government and university officialdom. Their activities assumed reasonableness and responsibility as well as a basic identification of interest between the students and those who determined educational policy. Governments and university officials were to be thought of as friends and not to be pushed too far. The Eastern Europeans were basically of the same mind although their rationale lay in the concept of the collective self-will of a democratic socialist state. In other words, they saw the state as representing the people's will and therefore they did not see the student's role as being in a ·position contradictory to that of those in control of their education. Like the Western Europeans, they saw themselves as lobbyists integrated into the mainstream politics of the state. The syndicalists represented a radical departure from this point of view. They saw Richard Needham (cont'd) "Unfair to Canadian Poets". Really, Mr. Needham, somehow you missed the boat! With the educational revolution in full swing on all Canadian campi, you were given a real chance to direct your barbs at the ills and woes that beset our system of higher education; instead you chose to behave like the French general (not De Gaulle) who came to the crossroad and rode off in four directions . You regaled us with sallies on the Pill, on organized and disorganized religion, on manners and morals, but you left curiously untouched those subjects that concern us q1ost. It should have come as no surprise to you that the question and answer period failed to produce any commentary whatever: what was there to ask? And about what? 'It would have been foolish as to try and "question" Myron Cohen or SamLevenson after their nightclub acts. However, as a night-club act your Lakehead University ad• dress had considerable merit, so why should anyone complain? It is not every day one can enjoy one's lunch in the University Centre theatre, while being entertained by a man who must surely be in great demand as an afterdinner speaker. But those who came in search of the views and comments on the academic situation of a man who commands a large readership across Canada, and is thus in a position to make an important and lasting contribution to the contemporary educational scene, came in vain. the collective self interest of the student as being an essential contradiction to the interests of university officialdom and the powers in control of education -- the capitalist class. The syndicalists thus concentrate on developing a high degree of class solidarity to undermine the opposition's power. This includes affiliation with groups of similar interest, including labor unions. They see themselves as outside the mainstream and bent on destroying it, not cooperating with it. To most people the seminar was a success. But to the Western Europeans, their conservatism guaranteed they got nothing. One wonders why they were there. c~ e 00\) o~s~o of-~"~- G►,~~►t\ \), ~O ~" \..· .,.o ~"~ WHAT IS IT?

A Symposium hangover by Ray Shankman What can one say about the happenings of Friday night, except to say it was an experience, totally worthwhile, insofar as our Wasp culture communicates best after ~ drink or two or three ( ad infinitum), and thaL.it was_a step to better student-teacher relationships. For drinking breaks down consciousness (self-consciousness that is), and this breakdown seems important to a viable revolution of the type that has been proposed by the student left. Of course the breakdown of consciousness isn't complete, and it can't be complete unless we come under the perpetual influence of alcohol and drugs. We do not have our OWN high. We wake up sober, full of consciousness, even guilt at our breakdown, with a headache, perhaps a hangover; we wash our mouths out, gargle a bit and try to forget by relegating past events to just another party, but a "damn good one". It is indeed \lnfortunate that. we can't. loosen up without these stimulants, that we .can't be honest without them, for on Larry Anderson, Psych. Dept., Friday night I heard much honesty and saw much soul from people who appeared dishonest and souless. MASKS REMOVED We live in a society that encourages duality and hypocrisy at all levels and the other night the . attempt was made to take off some of those worthless clothes that have been hampering our physical and mental movements for so long a time. Both students and teachers were, for the most part, unconscious of their masks: The alcohol had served its purpose. The party was Dionysian. Only growth could result. Yet some may see that night as a travestry and make the comment, "nothing wi 11 come of this." But I see it differently. I say, · that as an educational experience, as a life experience, this night was successful. Breakdown of consciousness helps instill consciousness, Many of us enjoyed the -dance of emotions, the holding of hands, at least the reaching out to hold hands, the sincere voices and the glassy eyes. Perhaps it is a comment on our culture that this breakdown exists when we drink alcohol, that we don't dig each other at all unless there is this special rapport. In view of this we should change our classrooms into barrooms, call a spade a spade. Students are uptight and run to the bar to get lowloose, to get away from the classroom. To encourage running to the classroom, rather than running to the john, make the c_lassroom a bar and if this can't be literally applied then we have to consider how somehow we can turn on · without it. For isn't this what all of us want, REALLY want, some rapport a meaningful expefience to come out of our seemingly irrelevant positions. Part of the solution to our academic foonality, inherent in our academic structuring, lies in a breakdown of consciousness. Once achieved it should be sustained for long periods of time. Then we can FORUM: question the candidates Today, noon, ,n the cafeteria McGill Dean blasts activism, outside riot inciters Bob Baldwin, CUS feel and absorb. For, when we talk about the University and the problems pertaining to it, we are dealing with communities, we are dealing with relationships, and the appalling horror of our time is that we -are not in any way significantly involved with our subject or with our fellow man. And this makes the University of today meaningless. Thus, to give meaning to our lives, our involvement has to be personal, intensely personal to the point where joy and not guilt, where perception and not blindness predominate, where, in point of fact, we are in some sort of harmony with ourselves. Friday night for me was very personal. I talked to people. I said outrageous things (but then I usually do). I enjoyed it. I talked to PEOPLE.

Mordell, who retires in June, told McGill honor society members at their annual banquet Thursday (Feb. 1), "Students have no right to dictate the pattern of the curriculum. uu; they don't like what is offered in a particular course in a particular university, let them go elsewhere," he said. .. It must be clearly understood that the student is an exceptionally privileged member of society," he said. "The privilege is fully justified in terms of his future contribution to society, but with all privilege goes responsibility." He said those students and staff who "believe they should have absolute power" should set up their own university. He predicted it would cost $Q,000 per student and added, ,.I don't think it would be a very good university." In student demonstrations on campus .. we hear much of students' rights," be said, "but very little of students' responsibilities." He spoke of the "evident presence of outsiders •· either students from other universities or professional agitators•· who have flocked to helpmanipulate student opinion, and who have supplied expert knowledge of techniques of protest. "In the name of democracy they try to impose their war upon, and interfere with the education of very large numbers of students. "Can anything be less democratic?" he asked. Mordell also criticized faculty who took advantage of academic freedom by "inciting· and encouraging students to attempt to hinder the work of the university." The dean said the student '1as no right to set standards ~f behavior. Students -should live .. subject to the normal patterns of behavior accepted in the society at large." W. Stanford Reid to speak W. Stanford Reid, a prominent historian, ·will speak on February 22 and 23. His topics will be "Society and the Reformation" (Thursday), and "The Christian Idea of Authority" (Friday). Dr. Reid graduated from McGill with a BA in 1934 and an MA in 1935. He received his ThB in 1938 and his ThM in 1939. In 1941 he earned. his PhD from the University of Philadelphia. He was a minister of the Presbyterian Church in Canada from 1941 to 1951, and taught history at McGill from 1951 to 1965. At present Dr. Reid is professor and head of the Department of History at the University of Guelph. As a histouan, Dr. Reid has special interest in British history, particularly the 15 and 16 centuries in Scotland; the Reformation in Europe, particularly the work of Calvin; and development of modem European thought. He is the author of several books and many articles which have been published in historical and theological journals. Dr: Reid's lectures, sponsored by the Inter-Varsity Christian Fellowship will be held at 12:30 p.m. in the University Centre theatre. �Page 2 Feoruary 16, 1968 THE ARGUS on parked hooks Funny thing about the Library. It has all those seats and cubicles for studying. And al I those people wandering aiml-essly around trying to locate somewhere to study. When you stop to think about it, it really is funny . In a pathetic kind of way. One fellow commented bitterly that his regular seat had been occupied by a set of books and notes ever since Carnival ended. Never a singte person did he see in his seat -- his seat, mind yo1.1 -- just that blasted pile of books. Which leads to another topic -- books. They're the greatest claim markers sincethe stake was invented. Just dump them on a desk and vegetate for five minutes, watching all the legs that amble by, hoping that at least one pair of them wi II come to rest opposite you. As luck has it, one pair does.

So what happens to the guy with the overdue essay and nowhere to write it but in the Library? Wei I who cares anyway? I got my books at my desk, and I'm not going to move them for anyone anyhow. Even when I go for coffee. Or for a walk. Or for a class. Or for anything . . Dammit, that desk is mine whether I use it or not. I got there first and dumped my books and they're going to stay there until it's time to go home at night. There are many places available in the Library for working. There are no places available for books alone, and inconsiderates who leave books unattended. Harty ·responds to editorial Port Arthur Police Chief Onni Harty's handling of the accidental shooting of a civilian by a Police Constable, was criticized by Tom Macleod in an Argus editorial, Jan. 18th. No public reply to this editorial was ever made by Chief Harty. His apparent decision to let the matter drop rather than keep the fire alive by continued discussion, might well be considered a wise move on his part. However, Chief Harty did react to Mr. MacLeod's editorial. Some time following its publication, the chief telephoned as yet an undetermined number of persons at the Lakehead. In each case the editorial was discussed, and in each case the person contacted came to the conclusion that Chief Harty was not happy about the editorial. Because the occurrence of these calls has filtered back through several hands , it is difficult to state with certainty the precise effect, if any, these calls were intended to produce. Perhaps the chief, understandably angered, was simply letting off a little steam amongst his colleagues. If the calls had any other purpose, they could only indicate that Chief Harty undertook a cour'se of action that was beneath him. Since taking office in late 1965, Chief Harty has worked quiet miracles in the Port Arthur Police Department. He has changed the general atmosphere within the department_from t~at of a green pasture for war veter~ns! to _that of an em~rgmg pohce organization, one that shows · mdicat1on of becommg equal to any in the province. However, ranking members of any police force hold notoriously precarious positions. No matter what abilities these men may have, there are always those within the department who seize upon any opportunity to undermine their security in order to further their own careers. And there is always the man of influence, politician or merchant. who will carry out the same manoeuvre in order to provide an opening for a friend. Thus, when something like Mr. McLeod's editorial rocks the boat, panic often results. It is the type of editorial that offers itself to the kind of person who, though they quite possibly might disagree with it entirely, would nevertheless not hesitate to use it to further their own ends. Mr. MacLeod's editorial was completely justified. It will be a sad day when a policeman is able to shoot a civilian, for any reason, and the public is afraid to ask why. If Chief Harty can find it within himself to accept such questioning as the normal indication of a concerned public, he will almost certainly enhance his image with those persons who are asking the questions, and with the public at large. He will also show those about him that his position is strong enough to weather a few storms. letters to the editor A bottle of spirit for fans It seems to me that school spirit is a precious, yet readily available commodity. One can buy a whole body of it for only $5.00 at the nearest LCBO. A case in point is the recent hockey game between the Nor'Westers andMichigan State Chatterly's sham Monday, February 5, Lakehead University's hallowed cafeteria. Above me hung a great poster of the immortal D. H. Lawrence, or so I thought at the time. Firmly affixed to this portrait was a sign with the message WANTED . Now I know as well as anyone, that D. H. Lawrence has not been with us for a number of years. I naturally assumed that it was therefore a message to the student body concerning his legacy, namely his books. But no, I was soon to find out that I was sadly mistaken. What I had assumed was a symposium or some such study group was a sham, a slight to the character of one of our great writers. Mr. Barkwell, I address this sentence to you. If you can say that D. H.

Uh .. .It is my sole purpose tonight to remind you of the history and workings of this company as well as ... uh ... to outline the present crisis and its possible solution. Uh ... The factory, which is the heart of Gunk, was the unmarvelled invention of the third century B.C. It was built to meet the needs of that cen• tury, and, since fate has seen fit to prolong and enhance those needs, Gunk carries on. Basically, its function is to produce slot heads for boats using roundheads as the raw substance. The roundheads come from a large rock mass called thick• head. The roundhead substance is .easily separable from the thickhead by applying a certain amount of pressure to the rock mass. We take the pure roundheads and shove them into square slots. Then the finished pro• duct, slot heads, are distributed to the various boat companies where they are used to stabilize boats. The trouble began when the companies stopped shipping food in their boats, and began shipping tin cars and anti-personnel bombs. The slotheads in the boats exploded and ceased to function as stabilizers. . Under our present productuon system, we cannot produce an efficient slothead from our stock-pile of roundheads. There are several remedies: 1 . We could produce hard heads for sale to Creepy Create Co. This would be difficult because most of our shareholders are also shareholders in the boat companies ... and they are in competition with Creepy Create. Besides, the consumers think they want tin cars and anti-personnel bombs and it's a lot of work to reason with people who don't understand business. 2. We could put electrical circuits into the slotheads which would prevent breakdowns. And so, uh ... Gentlemen, if you follow my line of reasoning, 1 would suggest we put circuits in the slot heads, save ourselves a lot of effort, and maybe even our jobs. The most important aspect of the AMS Council meeting of February 7: 1968, was the redefining of the AMS executive duties to cope with changing conditions at the University. Chief Justice Bert Baumann announced the changes to be placed in the constitution to Council, saying that the new definitions would allow the Executive to be increased by one member if necessary at a future date. The major change was in the Vice Presidential position. The ammendment calls for a Vice President of Academics and a Vice President of Programming. The position of Secretary has been dropped in favour of the latter. Treasurer is now the Director of Finance. He will appoint a Comptroller to work with him. This division can be made formal in future if a five-person executive 1s desired. Article Vlll of the constitution now reads as follows: I. The president shall be the chief executive officer of the Alma Mater Society. He shall call and preside at all meetings of the AMS, the AMS Council, and the AMS Executive Committee, and shall perform such other duties as are usually incident to the office of president, or as may, from time to time, be required of him by the AMS Council. In case of an equality of votes at any meeting of the Alma Mater Society, the AMS Council or the Executive Committee, the president shall have a casting vote. He shall be a member ex-officio of all the committees, excepting the Judicial Committee. he shall co-ordinate all activities of campus societies an• other recognized organizations; he shall perform other duties as are incident to his office or may be required of him from time to time by • the AMS Council. 4.

Vice-president of programming photo by Drew JERRY BURNS "I think I'm the most experienced person to run for the position of Vice President of Pro- • gramming. As far as programming is concerned with respect to entertainers, I have broad knowledge and personal contacts in the field. I want to see a better rounded programme; probably the same number of Dinner Dances, but more plays, musical concerts, speakers, and so on. In short, something more becoming a university than strictly animal dances." Jerry Burns is in first year Business Administration, after being in Arts for a year. He was very active in all phases of student life while at High School. He has instructed in musical corps, has played and captained sports teams, has edited school year rooks and newspapers, and has sat on school council. Mr. Burns won an activity award in Sudbury for organizing a Boys Home Economics club, and (cont'd p. 6) KEN DAVIS "I feel I know what the students demand from their AMS Executive and I feel that I am qualified to fulfill the role of Vice President of programming. But I don't want to be quoted as saying that because it's too dramatic. Every campaign does the same bit. It loses it's meaning. What you say becomes more important than what you do; instead of saying these things, you've got to do them." Ken Davis is a second year Arts student. He has attended Lakehead for two years, as well as having been at other universities. He was on the Student Summer committee at the University of Toronto. At high school, he was involved on an administrative body of a fraternity concerned with welfare. Mr. Davis has also been involved in social programming at a summer camp for four years. Mr. Davis said "I want to make sure students get a good return from their investment of $20 in the AMS Council." KEITH GAMMAGE "I came into the University last September. I've never heard so many grievances in my life. Mostly about co-ordination and communication they complained." Keith Gammage is a second year Artsman, majoring in History. He says of himself, "I'm not that well qualified, but I'd certainly like to try to improve things. I'd like to create better communications between the Executive, the Council, and the student body." Keith put in two years at Mount Royal College, where he was on the Council. He was also the Prime Minister of the Model Parliament they held. At present he is the public relations man for the Lakehead University Liberals. A native of Eatonia, Saskatchewan, he was President of the Young Liberal club there. "To satisfy the whole student body" Mr. Gammage placed as his priority if elected, "and (cont'd p. 6) �Page 4 February 16, 1968 THE ARGUS Amid paint cans and stacked tables, the tape recorder was placed.

Presidential elections 1968 Experience BARKWELL - "I think the major experience I have is being Vice Pre•s ident this year. I also have been President of Burlington Central Higl, School, and when at Fenlin Falls High School, I wanted to run for President, but unfortunately Grade 13 students were not allowed to run. I was very active· m Fenlin, assisting the council in such things as doing the planning for the dances, emceeing the dances, and just doing basic council work." HUSSEY • "I was on the Student Council at my High School in Toronto for four years, President of my class at the same High School for two years. At Mount Allison University I worked on several of the Council committees. I was also on the orientation committee. I was chairman of the ways and means committee for the class of '66. There is also the administrative experience I gained teaching and the programming experience I gained as Programme Director at a summer camp for the last four years." Liason between Confederation College, Teachers' College and the University HUSSEY - "Since it is now inevitable that Teachers' College is going to be linked with the University, it is obvious we must get more in touch with them. If they understand more the way students here operate and think •· and from what appeared in the Argus in the first term it seems there's a feeling at Teachers' College that. they're not appreciated, or thought very highly of. Both sides are going to have to explore this if it does exist." BARK WELL • "The links with Confederation College have been strengthened. We've been over there to attend one of their Counci_l mretings and we've had several conversations with their leaders. We helped them with their Council. Now we're helping them set up their books. I know Don (Lees) right now is giving them ideas on how to set up central banking. I haven't had too much communication with Teachers' College unfortunately, but I think that we should, now that we are started on a plan to amalgamate. It's going to be a little difficult because their program is the way it is. They're away from their school so much they're going to have difficulty assimilating to the University. But the social programming I think should prove extremely beneficial." The choice Should student governments take stands on affairs outside the University HUSSEY • "If the feeling in the University is pro specific one issue, it is ·debatable whether the Council can actually come out and take a stand on it. However, if the feeling in the Council was that they should take a stand, they should be prepared to do so, since they are the student leaders. They should not hesitate if they feel a stand is necessary, to take one. We are a part of society and we should be aware of what's happening, interested in helping or changing anything we can." BARK.WELL • "I think that in some issues it might be necessary for the University through_ the AMS to take a stand. Issues like birth control, and making available information on it. If there is to be any action taken • • like on Vietnam •· it should come through the clubs and not the student government itself. Not that I mean the student government should be wishy-washy, and not care about what's going on, but I think that the economics of the situation will not allow it. In some cases I think it would be to take stands.•· University Schools as part of the University BARK.WELL - "There's lots of room for this faculty. I think they serve a specific purpos.e. Look at the way education is Student representation in University government BARKWELL - "Myselfl feel that we should have representation on the Senate. I had thought over this and disagreed with representation on the Senate because of what happened at UBC. But they have a larger Senate out there. They felt they were just rubber-stamping. The students were not well enough represented to have any say at all. But after talking to Mr. Tamolyn and to some of the professors on Senate, I thought that if we could just get on the Senate committees • like the curriculum committees • then we could do some good. But I think we would have to have a seat on Senate in order to get on the committees. Work is done in committees and Senate, I think, just hashes over what committees do. We have to get on the curriculum committees." HUSSEY • "I'm worried about the sense of having any students on the Senate. It might be simply tokenism. But, I think the good aspects of it outweigh the adverse. It's not just getting membership on the Senate. We must have members on all the committees, particularly the faculty -committee because we've got to work closer with the faculty. As the two groups - students and faculty are the ones most concerned with education, the Administration and the Board of Governors have to realize students are concerned over the type of education they're getting. They're going to have to realize also that they're asking • and expecting • to assume a larger role in deciding just how that education is going to come about. They've got to throw out the old idea that educational reform always comes from the top. There are many faculty members who can see this change in the trends, and as soon as the Administration does, things around here will happen a lot quicker. Things will be a lot better and there will be a lot more actual learning done. It's not just a matter· of getting an education .anymore so you can get a job. It's fast becoming a majority of students who want a straight education not for a job but just for the sake of getting an education and improving themselves. And so in that sense we must get Senate representation and committee representation too."

They're specifically duectmg you towards a goal other than teaching, administration, or something like that. I think they have a definite purpose and I would hate to see them leave Lakehead University." HUSSEY • "I'd rather see them be developed into fuller programmes than to see them stuck into something like Confederation College. Mike says there's room for them. They provide another side of education which, if not as violent or ridiculous as the Engineers at Toronto recently, provide another portion of what people like in a community and in that respect they're a good thing to have. If this University is going to aevelop· into a multi-university, then it is essential that they are kept. If it's going to develop down the lines of a "freer education", then that form of education is more suited to Arts-type subjects. If that's the move then they're going to have to change quite a bit to fit in." Censorship of student newspapers by Administration BARK.WELL • "Censorship does exist in the student paper and in the television setup we have here, but it's not in the form of somebody coming down and previewing what goes in. It comes through the editors. The editors have to act within the bounds BARK.WELL • "I've given this quite a bit of thought. We have a $23,000 resource fund we can use for a housing project or a building fund. I was starting to investigate what kind of housing we could buy. But after the announcement of the residence expansion, I think it will in the immediate future look after the ~ousi~g ix:~hlem.. Next year we're going to have to be very mtensive m lookmg up student housing. Some are living now when~ they shouldn't be. They're living there because of the low rental. I think this year, although housing was a bit of a critical situation, it did work out all right. Next year we can maybe place some more students in Fort William and with the residences, I don't think there'll be much of a problem." HUSSEY • "Housing is a critical problem. I've had experience myself this year with three different kinds of housing: The Housing Bureau had growing pains this year. Next ye.µ it has to improve. Quality of the houses they lis~ must be changed. I don't think because residence is expanding that it's going to cover our needs at all. One of the problems wi-th Lakehead University is that it's not close enough. There isn't the feeling of closeness with it. The more residences we get, the more the feeling will grow. B.ut the AMS Council must look into the problem of housing with the view in mind of entering the Co-op housing field. Other universities hav.e found this type of program quite successful. And people don't usually choose to live in a low-rental house just because it's cheap. Usually they live there because they can't afford to go any higher. It's not a matter of choosing just to save money." Campus pub BARK.WELL • "I, don't think a campus pub, just as such, is what we're looking into. We're looking into a student centre which I think a pub should .b e co-ordinated with." HUSSEY • "A campus pub is. an excellent idea whatever form it takes. I don't think the students are after a campus centre incorporating a pub as much as they're after a pub. It's a good atmosphere to talk things over, to hash things out." Tuition fees HUSSEY • "It's a coming thing now, and it's obvious they should be abolished. I don't think there should be this economic requirement (pr admission. We're in a society now that can afford to send students to university free of charge. This is the only way we're going to get the free kind of education that is the only kind of education. That's the only way you're going to get enough cross section, enough argument, or enough new ideas, enough change, enough challenge into a university where it belongs." photo by Dl'ew BOYD HUSSEY BARK.WELL• "l think there are definite psychological aspects to this, in that a student feels if he has to work to earn the money then he feels that he has to get something out of it. Right now students are only paying 17% of the costs to go to university, which is not ,really very much. I think that if it were free that students would have one of their major strongholds taken away from them. The ,Department of University Affairs is starting to move into and exert more control on the university in the courses it teaches. This is one of our strongholds and if we get free tuit· tiQn the Department of University j\ffairs is going to make a definite move to control the university more than it's doing now."

Rod Phillips Student apathy Complete HUSSEY - "I think wh~neve.r there is apathy there is always a cause for it. I don't think· people are naturally apathetic. I think Council this year has not informed students what has been going on often enough. They have not led. They have seldom even followed. They have not advertised their own meetings enough. They have not made available widely enough minutes, proceedings. This bas produced the attitude of well, who cares, they do what they want to. They plan dances. Council is doing more than that but they don't make it known. When students have grievances or problems, they somehow seem to get lost in committees or snow." BARKWELL - "I think Boyd has been basically very unfair to Council. Minutes are available to anyone who wants them. Anyone who wants to attend meetings is welcome to come. I think anyone that is interested can follow up through the Council. The committee system should be set up right from the start so it's functional. It was not as functional this year as it could have been in all aspects. You have to get people involved and working and then they're interested. It's a very hard thing to do to get people. They have grievances and they don't do anything about it. If you will follow through on their grievance, then they're willing to let you do this. I think the main thing is to get people involved and the committee system is the best way to do this."

When asked why he was running, Mr. Phillips said, "I feel that the attitude toward education at the university is immature. There is far too much emphasis on lectures and examinations and not enough on learning. It seems to me that this institution exists for itself as an institution, and it seems that the ideal which the institution was designed to embody has been lost."

Although the speake1·s were not as good as last year, their athletic accomplishments were just as prominent. This leads to a little note I made about local sports media reps. We have quite an array of athletes working for the local sports media. Pentti Lund was and still is a good hockey player. Bud Tolman's middle name is "Bowling Alley" while no one can deny Roger Patola the title "Ski Slope" or "Water Baby." Bill Guy is on a diet of buffalo steak and we all know what that did for Billy Casper, one of the top pro golfers last year. Jack Sandberg is a man of many talents be it shmocky, baseball or basketball while the old Friar who came up for the banquet was quite notorious for his aggressive football at Selkirk. Old athletes never die. They just become sports writers or broadcasters. * * .. * In talking with Al Eagleson at the banquet, I was very impressed to hear that while he was at the University of Toronto beginning his distinguished career in law, he was sports editor of the Varsity, U. of T. newspaper which still indicates there is hope for me. .. * .. * Congratulations to the Confederation College curling team who recently captured the 1st Ontario Community College Curling Bonspiel. Members of the rink were Glen Sarri, Reed Berringer, Don Hemsworth and Brian Knibbs. * * * The Lakehead University Basketball team twice met the Cambrian College Caats of Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario over the weekend and twice they defeated them. The first game, played Saturday, was a 73-44 romp, while the Sunday encounter had the Nor'Westers winning by a 71-63 margin. It was a weekend for the Nor'Westers to show that they had more on the basketball team than Don Holmstron as Cambrian defensed the tall forward to a point of frustration, holding him to 13 points in each game, when his average for the season is bet.ter than 24 points per game. Roy Holman was the top scorer for the Nor'Westers in the first game, hooping 17 points, while Jim Johnston matched Holmstron's 13 points and Lloyd Koski threw in 11 of his own. -For the Caats, it was big John Fletcher with 23 points, followed by Tallack with 10. The second game of the series again found Don Holm- stron held down by the strong zone defense but again Roy Holman came through, this time with 15 points while Lou Pero followed with 14, Homstron 13, Rob Cameron and Jim Johnston with 8 each. Jim Fletcher of Cambrian proved to be the top scorer on both teams as he hooped 31 points in the second game while Tallack notched 11 and Sharp 10. The margin of victory for the Nor'Westers was at the foul line as the locals made 23 of 39 attempts while Cambrian were good on 15 of 37 attempts. The difference of 8 foul shots was the margin of victory for the Nor'Westers. Don Holmstron might have been held down on the .score sheet but was as effective on rebounds as he has been all season. He matched Lou Pero as each of them picked 14 rebounds in the first game. then was tops on both teams as he gathered in 20 rebounds in the second contest. The final intercollegiate basketball game· for the Nor'Westers will be played in Ashland Wisconsin next Saturday night when they meet the Northland College Lumberjacks Morning Drag?

Big savings I �Page 8 February 16, 1968 THE ARGUS Nor'Westers split with Lake .Superior State, ICHA champions Lakehea<l University rebounded from a 7 - 3 loss Saturday night to defeat the new International C.Ollegiate Hockey Association champions Lake Superior State C.Ollege of Sault Ste. Marie Michigan by a 3 • 1 count. In the first game, Lake Superior scored first at the 6:39 mark of the first period, but Ken Kivisto tied the count at the 9:30 mark. Lake Superi6r then counted their second and third goals, before Murray Smith brought the margin to 3 - 2 at the )8:34 mark of the first period. Denis Laliberte counted the only goal of the second period on a pass from Richard Tapak, leaving the two teams deadlocked at the end of the second stanza. In the third period Lake Superior struck quickly fo1 two goals before five minutes were up, forcing the Nor'Westers to go completely on the o££ensive, a tactic which backfired as Lake Superior again scored two quick goals at the 15 and 17 minute mark of the third period for the final 7 - 3 mark. Kas PAPE:RRA(L) Miyata in the Nor'Wester goal had a busy evening as he was forced to make 46 saves, while Duffy Lewis in the Lake Superior State College goal made 35. In the second contest it was Kas Miyata night at the Port Arthur Arena as he completely stymied the Lake Superior sharp shooters until the 19:31 mark of the game, when a deflected shot bounced past hiin. The first period was all Nor'Wester as they outshot the visitors 21 - 11 and went into the second period with a 2 • 0 lead on goals by Dave Siciliano, and Richard Tapak. The second stanza was a reversal of fonn as the Lakers outshot the local collegians 22 - 7, but Miyata was up to the task and the second period was scoreless. The second period of the game also saw a rarity in hockey, the penalty shot, which came about when John Fallis fell on the puck in his own goal crease setting the stage for Miyata's most heroic save of the season. Jim Fuller skated in on Miyata from the centre line but Miyata played it perfectly, forcing Fuller to miss the net with his shot. The missed penalty shot was d efi ni tel y the turning point in the game, from then on the Nor'Westers gave their goal keeper more protection then he has had all season . The third period had Murray Smith scoring at the 6:35 mark with Dave Nuttall and Clare Battiston assisting, then Rick Comley scored the Laker's only count in the last minute of the game for the final 3 - I score. This weekend series a• gainst Lake Superior State College saw Lakehead University play its best hockey of the season. Everyone gave 100% in both games to prove that although their record does not indicate it they could be the best team in the league. The season will close next weekend for the Nor'Westers when they meet the St. Cloud Huskies at home Saturday and Sunday. The games they must win if they hope ro salvage second place in the league. Dr. George Merrill, on behalf of Dr. W. G. Tamblyn, presented the Tamblyn Trophy to Archie Orazietti, captain of the Lake Superior State College, the 1967-68 champions of the International Collegiate Hockey Association.

But there must members? be marks like degrees at points power.'' Dean of Arts, G: 0. Rothney, has been granted a sabbatical leave for the year 1968-69. President W. G. Tamblyn said Monday, "Dean Rothney has asked for a sabbatical leave and I have granted it subject to finding a suitable replacement". As to a possible successor, President Tamblyn said he was looking into it. The purpose of a sabbatical leave is to allow a professor to catch up with the latest developments in his field. In the case of a Dean, such a leave also "removes the temptation to breathe down the neck of their - successor during the first year of the new regime." (Duff-Berdahl Report) Dean Rothney said he had three offers to write books: one on the history of Newfoundland, another on the history of the Union Nationale Party in Quebec and a third, a textbook on International Affairs _in the in the 20th century. With possible reference to the recent Harding incident, Dr. Rothney commented, "I like reading mythology especially ' Dean G. O. Rothney when -it's well written." Dr. R-othney had nothing_ to say about a possible successor. Dr. Rothney was appointed Dean of Arts in 1963. He came to the Lakehead from St. John's Newfoundland, where he was Professor of History and the Head of the Department at Memorial University. Dr. Rothney was born in Richmond, Quebec.

Last season the one-two punch of Tom Morton and Mike Wren was all Lakehead needed as they wrapped up the cham- pionship with an 80 point margin over Northern College of Timmins. Again Lakehead University won, but this season by a 30 point margin over Northern with Osgoode Hall in third place and Confederation College of Fort William fourth. Lakehead University was never sure of victory until the final tabulations were complete. and 2,000 l,Jniversity of New Brunswick students in Fredericton are expected to join the mar.ch, • along with Moncton's affiliated College De Bathurst, and students from Mount Allison and other universities in the province. Asked about the possibility of sympathy strikes at other universities Richard said: "On a question like this solidarity among students would help a lot.'' But if it doesn't materialize he won't be disappointed: "We started this strike alone and we'll go through with it to the end,'' he said. He said the faculty have supported the students, and met with the ,Premier and the Minister of Education, Monday. Results of the meeting are not yet known. He said the students will organize study sessions Wednesday to consider the Govern- ment' s reaction to the brief presented Tuesday. They will hold a vote that afternoon, he said, when students will be able to decide if they wish to end the strike or if they wish to continue. But he pointed out this would be a student decision, not that of the student executive alone. He said students conducted peaceful demonstrations in Moncton Monday "to let the people of the city know we're still on strike--to make them aware that what is going on is serious business." University President Adelard Savoie last week said students who miss lectures Thursday or later will have to make them up in their spare time or they won't be allowed to write final exams. But Richard said the Student Union will negotiate with the University on this. He said it would be pointless to strike if In the first race, the Slalom, Lakehead University placed first, six points ahead of Trent University but the second race, the Giant Slalom, was a complete reversal for the Lakehead University five. They had a disastrous second run to place seventh in the race and second in the Alpine Combined behind t Trent University. ; .......s Lakehead University placedi second to Northern in the Cross Country race to go into the' jumping event with a 14 point team lead over Northern.

' Moncton students still on strike MONCTON (CUP)·· Canadian Union of Students President, Hugh Armstrong visited the strike-bound Moncton campus Friday (Feb. 16) and says he is impressed with what's happen• ing there. He was scheduled to accompany the Moncton Student Delegation to the Legislature in Fredericton Tues. (Feb. 20) when students are to present a brief to premier Louis Robfchaud, his Education and Finance Ministers, and the President of the Province's Commission on higher education, an advisory board to the Government. In a telephone interview Monday, Jean Richard, Chairman of the Moncton Student Council and New Brunswick Representative on the CUS Board of Directors said he expects about 300 Moncton students to accompany the delegation. Richard said between 1,500 noxville, Quebec, where his father was Professor of Education. ' He graduated in 1932 with the Lieutenant-Governor's Medal for the .highest student in the graduating year. He continued his studies at the University of London, England, where he received his M.A:, and his Ph.D. Both Degrees were taken in the field of "British Imperial History". He was awarded several post-graduate scholarships while he was at , London. In 1939 he was appointed to the staff of Bishop's CoUege School. In 1941 lie joined the staff of Sir George Williams College, Montreal. He was promoted to Assistant-Professor in 1934, Associate Professor in 1945, and Professor of History in 1948. In 1952, Dr. Rothney was appointed Professor of History at Memorial University of Newfoundland. Dr. Rothney organized the Provincial Archives within the University. It was taken over by Li1e province in 1959.

At this point, it suddenly dawns on me that ... 1) the paper goes to the printers on Monday, 2) .the elections take place on Wednesday, and 3) the paper does not come back until Thursday evening, so, right now I don't know who in the hel I is on the new executive. Damn. This al I can be traced back to basic inefficiency on the part of the Council, who ratified the suggestion to have the election on Wednesday. Now I ask you, "How can we be expected to cover things like this and give accurate and speedy reporting when the bl.oody elections are held in the middle of the week?" Now if the elections were on Monday (as they should be), then we could be accurate c11d criticize like hell, and then your newspaper staff would be haP,Py, but no, th~y had to have it' on Wednesday.

SAS and AMS Council last Wednesday (February 14) ran into a brick wall in trying to establish who was top dog. At the previous meeting it was moved that the constitutional position of the SAS be investigated. Mr. Glenn Miller, SAS President, was present at the last meeting to debate the relative positions of the SAS and the AMS. According to the AMS constitution (ratified by the Board of Governors) the SAS falls under the jurisdiction of the AMS. The SAS executive claim that they are an autonomous body, separate from control of the AMS. The $15.00 SAS fee is presently administered by the Athletic Board which is composed of more administrative personnel and faculty than students. A committee of AMS ·executive was struck to look into this problem. At the end of the meeting, Facilities appreciated Sir: On behalf of the members and executive of the Lakehead Ch.amber of Commerce, I express to the lecturers and students of Lakehead University, our most sincere appreciation for 1etting us enjoy the facilities of the Great Hall and main cafeteria, for a few brief hours on the occasion of our Annual Meeting. Undoubtedly, you are aware that the University has the Lakehead's finest facilities, both for accommodation and at- Bill Weiler brought up the editorial policy of the ARGUS. A number of councillors stated that they disapproved of the content of the newspaper, and that the Argus was harmful to the AMS Council. Mr. Karl Goodwin said that any student can submit complaints by letters to the editor, and can be confident that they will be printed. Any student can contribute articles, news or features if he so wishes. It appears, he continued, that those who complain are not willing to contribute. One of the editors reminded Council that the newspaper follows the CUP Code of Ethics in determining editorial policy. He went on to remind Council of all the other restrictions within which a newspaper has to function. One person present clarified the debate, stating, firstly, that one argument centered on whether the paper should be a house organ or a conscience and critic of the Council and the ·student • body; and secondly, that the omission of constitutional ammendments pertaining to the up-coming elections could be remedied by extending the closing date for nominations. The editor, Chuck Grieve, pointed out that the Argus is hampered by the budget (7,500 this year) an.cl by space. More advertising cuts the cost .but also takes up more space. It was decided at the February 7 Council meeting that the Judicial Committee look into the reasons for absentee of councillors from Council meetings. The Judicial Committee at this week's meeting recommended that Council decide whether Mr. John Sihvonen should be requested to relinquish his Council seat as he had missed six Council meet• ings.

Sir: Since returning to University after an absence of some years, I have been watching with some interest this so-called "student power movement", and in many ways am in complete sympathy with the ideals expressed. However, the recent "garbage" as inscribed on the walls of the "great white way" has prompted this short denunciation. My personal opinion of this ignorantattempt to gain publicity or perhaps notoriety is that it was perpetrated by either a sick twisted individual or an immature damn fool.

Which can only mean one thing -- the established systems can no longer command the authority they once had. They can no longer- rely on the theory of the slave mentality for reassurance. The system is crumbling; revolution is coming. Romantic ideals, sane will say; meaningless words will be the retort of others. These people will not read on, for to them it is a waste of rhetoric, an exercise in stagnant terminology . They will go back to their cards, their coffee, and their discussions of drink and sex, scoffing at others efforts to change what to them is a bore and a looming fate. But some will read on, agreeing or not. These are die people who count. These are the people who set the pace for the rest to follow when it is fashionable. -Dmiel 5; 4, 5, 15, 26 • 28. "Revolution NOW'", or so the signs proclaimed. There they were, in vivid black and orange, arresting the casual observer and slapping him soundly in the face. It is the sort of greeting you do not usually expect upon entering the University first thing on a Tuesday morning. Strangely enough, they seem to have left little visible impact on our community of scholars. On the other hand, had the tunnel taken on these same decorations a year ago, heads would havt: rolled, staining the concrete floors a much richer colour than the orange splashed near the new entrance. Revolution is an unfortunate word; it carries connotations of bearded usurpers and flaming red stars. Revolution is _not the American way. To realize change, a civilized western man sits down at a conference table (in order, starting at the head of the table, of public stature, prestige, power, wealth, age, or any combination thereof) and talks things over. He weighs relative advantages and disadvantages of present institutions, suggesting changes where necessary. And change comes. But not in the intended fashion. Little do those involved realize, but the only significant changes coming from such dignified and awe-filled confrontations are in the persons themselves. Reformers are sucked in, assimilated to the status quo position of the entrenched bureaucrats, and led out to pasture where fields are green and the sun always shines. Why is it that the vanguard of the revolution at the Lakehead hesitated for so long before taking this inevitable step? Could it be that they, along with the rest of the student body, have successfully been suppres~ed by those defending the status quo? Revolution: to many it means glorious battle . . S.o it follows that ·great moments in historical conflict are resurrected, to show the young and impressionable how thrilling and exciting wars are, and how everything important happened in an hour (with special lulls in the ac;tion for messages of great commercial ! l Editor's note: The manuscript on which the following article is J;a~ is an 80 page document written by \)yacheslav Chornovil, a Ukrainian newsman. The manuscript, smuggled to the west in November, was written as a petition on behalf of twenty recently jailed Ukrainian intellectuals, and was sent to Soviet authorities. Because of the detailedness of Chornovil's plea, and his charges of the illegality being perpetuated by the KGB (secret police) and the Soviet courts themselves, Chornovil's writings received headlines first in an exclusive copyrighted story by the Toronto Telegram last month, and n<NI by the Times of London (Feb. 7) and the New York Times on February 9.

Bociurkiw of the University of Alberta Political S(:Ience department one of Canada's leading Sovietologists has checked the manuscript and calls it, ..of the stature of the Sinyavsky-Daniel trial transcripts.

Quot.ations in this article are taken from the above named sources. At this moment Vyacheslav Chomovil is serving a three year prison term in the Soviet Union for writing a petition to Soviet judicial authorities. Political imprisonment is not an unusual event in the ,Soviet Union, however this particular instance has attracked world attention for the courage it displays and for the princieles of human dignity that it represents.

Herein lies a crucial point. C ication have been established b • Justice m the year by W. Roman intellectuals. He also wrote a book that has found its way to the west, via underground channels. Reference to this wodc which was passed hand to hand in the Ukraine, was made by Mr. John Kolasky of Toronto, a Canadian Communist who was studying at the Higher Party School of the Central Committee in Kiev, and who managed to get hold of the underground circulating petition. Mr. Kolasky, who joined the Canadian Communist Party 30 years ago and is still a member, says, that in essence the charges of illegality and of genocide ~e true. Mr. Kolasky says that he was collecting material on how the Soviets are trying to destroy the Ukrainian cWture and replace it with Russian. Kolasky says that the KGB held him for two weeks for questioning and confiscated all his papers when they caught him with the petition. Chomovil•s book, including the petition, although not yet available in Engli.sh has been published in Ukrainian and is significant for a numbe( of reasons. First, it says that the petition which Karavansky wrote is based on Leninist principles, the Soviet constitution, and Soviet law, all of which guarantee sovereignty to the Soviet republics and rights to their nationali- �dying•· but the good guys, the ys make it ·in the end . .And it creating stories .to show how e losers were.

But hierarchies seize these opportunities to better their own positions. When hierarchical structures become egocentric, so much so that any progressive action they will take will be mere tokenism, as far as the overall majority is concerned. Hence writing oo the walls, a venting of frustration and anger at narcissistic systems. When institutions become so infatuated with themselves that they lose sight of the end they were set up to achieve, and become ends in themselves, these institutions no longer have any relevance, and must be replaced. Further, if an institution fails to perform its function as a means to an end, it cannot help but jeopardize those who would place a measure of trust in it. This is the case of administrations in universities today. They are the general caretakers of the university, handling matters which the academics, faculty and students, neither care about nor ever know about. Administration is a necessary part of a large education factory; it mothers the university. But when it decid•e s on academic matters, basing its decisions on relative supply and demand values, it oversteps its authority. When it interferes in education by not ~lowing students to study what they want, when it tells stu:lents what they may and what they may not study, it ceasei, to perform a useful function, and it must be changed. The same qualification is ttue in the case of student adminis·• tration. When the end is lost in internal intrigue, the institution must change. Change is the basic factor, necessary for a successful structure. A system based on chang.e is the only solution. But isolated instances will be frustrated by the society; thus it is necessary to change the establishment. And the seeds are soWn. The writing on the wall may well achieve its purpose, to trigger small puffs which will blow the foundations out from under the card house of established administrations. "Free education" is the cry, tak:en up by the masses; another channing· catch phrase for the pseudo people. Freedom from stifling structures, freedom from useless knowledge, freedom to leam, say the sincere. Freedom to vegetate, say the pseudos. But this is part of the revolution. We are the product of our society, and our society's educa• tional system; as such we . can be used as examples of the need of Human Rights tryshyn ties. Using these legal channels, Karavansky ·accuses and proves the State of condoning and encouraging discrimination. Secondly, it is significantly important that this manuscript has been compiled by a person born and raised under the Communist system and a card carrying member of the Party and not an opponent of the Soviet regime. Thirdly, Chomovil in writing this· book was consciously aware that his action would put him into prison, as well as ruin his life career. From all sides, th~efore, Chornovil's action for the twenty intellectuals is an act of co~rage. In 1 the summer and fall of 1965, there were waves of arrests throughout the Ukraine as well as other Eastern European coun• tries. Six months later these writers, artists, teachers and scjentists were brought to secret trial, which under the Soviet Constitution is illegal. Moreover, in some cases lawyers were not allowed for the defendent (Eg. Mikhailo Horyn), and families were not notified until after the sentencing ( eg. Mikhailo Masiut• ko). In Horyn's case, (a 37 year old psychologist sentenced to six for reform. We are taught to. reiterate, to memorize, .but not to think. Our present educational system is· just another established means of polluting minds. Look at what happened at the Symposium. When people were dropped into a situation in which they were forced to think, they did not know how. All they could do after was complain that the Symposium should not have been unstructured, while in fact it was their own inability · to react that was to blame. The revolution must come. When students think, and discover what is happening, they are crushed by the almighty sole of authorities, taken before discipline committees, judged not on their standards but on superficial ones imposed on them, and finally placed back into the system, brok.en. Some escape •• they drop out. Some play the game, ronning their way through, convinced the system is a farce. Some never realize. What the scrawl on the wall fails to say is the basic factor for the dissatisfaction: we refuse to be dehumanized, numbered put into convenient packages to conform. We v.ant.to be individ: uals deciding our own future, and shaping our own society. We do not want to be used "to the glory of God and coun~" as pawns in a senseless game, nor do we want to be a name on one of an infinite number of time cards. This we vehemently assert: our right as humans to be individuals. This is what the revolution is about. The American society •· and Canada is part of it •· is falling. Detroit riots stemming not from racial differences but from class differences will not be without running mates this summer. 1500 black students disappeared from their campuses in South Carolina, following the shooting of three of their number. Speculators say they are now in the South Carolina woods, arming, and waiting. And Canada is not excluded. Toronto will seethe; Kenora will bum; northern Saskatchewan will swim in blood. Another stage is set. University campuses have rocked with the rage of protests; protests against war manufacturers, protests against student suppression, civil rights, everywhere, protests. lrrelevent, they cry, irrelevent. Let us have the power to control our own lives, they say, or we'll take it. We don't want to fight; violence breeds its own kind. But if fight we must, we will. A society that lives by armed force will die by it also. "Look south, baby, and think". years of hard labour) his final plea was a protest that he was not anti-Soviet, only pro-Ukrainian. He asked that Soviet law not be violated in that the Ukrainian language was being dis• criminated against by the Russians in the Ukraine itself. As well he asked 1hat those on collective farms not be oppressed in a return to Stalinistic methods. Of Stalin's time he said, "I was always revolted by the fact that citizens and party members with a sense of duty could witness a crime and do nothing about it ... It is a great pity that the people responsible for those crimes, who allowed such injustices against humanity to be comitted in the hard labour camps in the north, far east and central Asia, are now receiving government pensions. They do not have to answer for thei,: crimes and are not even being pul>licly-exposed." Mikhailo Masiutko was a pensioned teacher from Lvov in the Western Ukraine. His trial was so secret that his wife did not know the verdict until she was eventually informed· by the defense attorney. Masiutko refused to confess to being the author of ten anonymous and alledgely anti-Soviet articles. After several months of interrogation, the KGB could not extract a confession. As a result, a team of "experts" testified that he was guilty. Masiutko got six years, the first three of them in solitary confinement. Included in Chornovil's work are the letters of artist Panas Zalivakha. Returning at age 34 from Siberia, he became interest• ed in Ukrainian art and culture. Despite one man exhibitions of abstracts, Zalivakha was accused of "lacking artistic talent". He was eventually sentenced, after a secret trial, to three years for spreading anti-Soviet propaganda. In his letters home he wrote, "Everything has its explanation and value. There are many sparrows and pigeons here. They take advantage of the abundance of barbed wire on which they like to rest. We feed those free birds and are proud o.f them because they are symbols of genuine freedom, without regulation, without any codes ...

In particular Svyatoslav Karavansky stands out-as an indiv.idual who cannot be bent bs, the KGB. In 1944 he was sentenced to 25 years for fighting in an underground organization dedicated to nationalism. A(tet'. serving 16 years and five months, Karavansky wa~ released in 1960 when the maximum prison sentencs in the USSR was reduced from 25 to 15 years. He returned w the Ukraine where he· worked as a poet-translator. Karavansky says that the KGB advised him not to talk of the past but in February 1965 he made the mistake of sending a statistically. detailed petition to the State-Prosecutor ccxnplaining that the minister of education was discriminating against Ukrainian students in violation of the laws and the principles of Lenin. In Novem-b er. of 1965 Karavansky was seized by the KGB, and without trial was thrown into a labour camp in Mordavia to serve the remainder of his twenty-five year sentence. Karavansky again ' appealed to the laws of the land feeling that to be sentenced twice -for the same crime without trial _was not just •· especially when the sentence had been abolished. He petitioned the Council of Nationalities of the Supreme Soviet urging it to act against racial discrimination, noting that the Jews, for example, comprise 25% of the population of Odessa, yet constitute only 5% of the students at the local university. He recalled the liquidation and deportation of Crimean Tartars, Volga Germans, Latvians, Lithuanians, Estonians, Ukrainians, and Checheno-Ingushi. He urged as well that amnescy be considered for all those still in prison for World War 11 offenses. He details what he calls 'progressive methods of education' in the spe.cial camps. 'It is exactly like a circus where animals are trained . if you do this, you eat; if you don't you may well die of starvation .... There are frequent cases of suicide, of mutilation, of insanity. Prisoners open their veins and write in blood on' the walls of their 'tells: 'Death to Svyatkin' (the commandant of KGB detachment No. 10). Some prisoners driven to despair, tattoo RAB CPSS on their foreheads (A Slave of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union.) This act is severely dealt with • the same as sabotage or sedition: The punishment is execution by · firing squad. All these terrors are a 're-educ ation' tool -•· these special camps representthe absolute physical and moral transformation of a human being into an animal.' In Chernovil's book, Karavansky, despite his own situation, continues to plead the case of others: Andreyav • a youth who testified at an international commission that he had witnessed the NKVD massacre 10,000 Polish officers when the Soviet Union was Germany's ally in 1939.-40, was sentenced _to a 25 year sentence in Vladimir priso!). for giving 'false ev1den~e•. After twenty two years he is still in prison; Karavansky wntes of others: M. Soroka, sentenced 'on suspicion' in 1940. Each time his term concludes he is resentenced; three women Zaritska, Husiak and Didyk are serving 25 year sentences for giving Red Cross aid to wounded Ukrainian partisans during the war." And so Karavansky's list gives names, dates and reasons for the imprisonment of many people. He himse~f must ~e a_ware that_he cannot win against the State, yet he wntes as 1f his obsession for justice has become his reason for surviving. Perhaps the most eloquent testimony to this man's lonely and fruitless crusade comes from his wife. At Christmas a year ago, she sent a petition of her own to Leonid Brezhnev, G~neral Secretary of the Comm uni st Parcy, the most powerful man m the Soviet Union. She wrote, "For 18 years the camp administration has been unable to exert any influence upon prisoner S. I. Karavansky ... Therefore I, the wife of S. I. _Karavansky, B_EG Y~U TO EXECUTE HIM BY FIRING SQUAD m order to termmate his long torture and the continuous conflict between him and ~e administration. I write this petition while quite sober and bemg fully aware of its seriousness." Although. the Iron Curtain is still resistant to the flow of information, Chornovil's manuscript has penetrated to the west and has been authenticated. It stands as an embarassment to Soviet leaders seeking respectability in the ey~s of th~ _wo~ld. Chornovil points to the incongruency of the Soviet Constitution which guarantees freedoms (of speech, press, assembly and _of demonstration) and Article 62 of the Criminal code of the Sov~et Ukraine which forbids"agitation or propaganda ... " f_ven despite the differences between Soviet law and the laws of other countries, the punishment in these cases seems to exceed the "crimes". . Why Soviet Russia has in the last few ye~rs re_sta~ed ~ts intensive pressure against intel~ ect_uals,_ espeaally m m~n~mtY republics, is not clear. However, m this cast; the Ukra~man~, Communist and anti-Communist, agree that then compatnots m the Ukraine are facing special problems. . Fifty years and three generations after the revolution, these people sit in prison while others can well afford to a~ue ~e merits of whether the means is justified by an _end, which still hovers in the future. . . This year has -been designated by the Um!ed N attons as \iuman Rights Year in honour of the 20th. anmversary of the Charter of Human Rights passed in 1948_. Canada as well as_ the Province of Ontario are officially honoun~g the UN proclamation. It is therefore fitting that these questions o_f freedom, human rights, and the ~~ity of man, should be raised before world view and world, op11\1on. A WORLD FEDERAL GOVERNMENT WILL REPLACE THE LAW OF FORCE WITH THE FORCE OF LAW by Boyd Hussey These pages have carried many words in preceding issues which were critical of society, morals and the way of the world in general. Various pens have complained about and questioned the ..state .. of the world as it presents itself. It is to be hoped that some of these articles have started some searching for answers. World Federalists believe that they have one such answer. The ARGUS will run a two part series on World Federalism, the first in the series being a presentation of the beliefs and aims of the organization. This is done in the hope that you will better be able to climb the stairs if we leave the hall light on. World Federalists believe they have found the solution to the "anarchy" running wild in the world today. They feel, that by establishing a central world government in a federal system, the security necessary for disarmament can be attained. It is only through world-wide disarmament that peace can become a ·reality. It is their belief that, "Peace with order and security based upon justice, results only when government is established." This government would have limited powers but powers effective enough to "enact, interpret and enforce world law." This would ultimately give a larger share ofthe spotlight to an organization such as the International Court of Justice. Presumably the present Emergency Force would become a world police force, able to keep the peace and settle minor differences rapidly. "If the UN is to have a future it must assume some of the attributes of a state" •· U Thant. World Federalists would build on the present UN, strength• ening it and transforming it into a federal organization of all nations. A federal system, they feel, would be the best to preserve local traditions and maintain law and order among diverse peoples. These are the reasons our own federal system was organized in 1867. The revamped UN would have the authority to make laws governing individuals as well as . states. A world court would be the final authority in interpreting these laws and trying offenders. A system of inspectors and world police to enforce the laws would also be set up. To protect individuals from arbitrary action by the world federation, they feel a Bill of Rights must be created. This would also prohibit interference in internal rights reserved for national govern rrents. The UNwould"also be given taxing powers to pay for its new found scope. This is a major problem ~ith t~e _p~esent organization which seldom is able to pay for lls act1v1t1es. Fi~ally, to aid the growth and economic s ta~ility of less developed nations, a World Development Authonty would be established. This authority would aid nations in the development of their natural resources as well as helping in their social advancement. World Federalism is a group of men and women concerned about the state of the world. They are concerned about peace, hunger and injustice. They are concerned enough to make an effort to do something. Their aims and beliefs are worthy of your study at least, and of your support if you agree with them. There may be other answers to the problem or there may be no answer at all, but we will never know unless we devote some of our time to the search for such an answer. Your eyes are as good as anyone's. . .

The Dominion Bureau of Statistics recently released an analysis of provincial finances which showed the surge of provincial education .during 1967, was due mainly to a massive transfer of federal funds to the provinces. Most dramatic increases in provi~cial education budgets are m the maritimes where New Brunswick's education spending increased 215 per cent. They have picked up the c~mplete tab for public educ ati«;>~ at all l~vels, except tmt1on at the university level. Newfoundlandhas abolished elementary and secondary school ta.,re s and fees, and some fees at the university ~evel. Their education budget 1s up 84 per cent from 1966. Budget slices for education in other provinces are:--onTario 36 per cent; Newfoundland, Alberta, and Manitoba, 35 per room and lounge, and a 20 seat committee dining room, as well as 900 lockers, food preparation area, mechanical rooms, and staff lunch room. cent; New Brunswick, 34 per cent; and other. provinces from 24 to 30 per cent. Per capita spending in the province looks like this: Newfoundland, $144, the highest; Alberta, $143; New Brunswick $_128; Ontario $120; Quebec, $111; Manitoba, $105; Nova Scotia; $102; and Prince Edward Island and Saskatchewan $75. ' St.atistics are not available for British Columbia, which does not provide a functional classification of their spending. All estimates are based on provincial populations as at Jan. I, 1968. The provinces together increased spending in education by 25 per cent but only about 7 .4 per cent of this was out of their own funds. Prospects poor Summer job prospects? The shits!

Delegates from all three English language members of UGEQ: Loyola, McGill and Sir George Williams, will undoubtedly press for immediate acceptance of a bilingual organization during the three day congress being held at Sir George Willi ams University this week. The motion stands little chance of passing, since most french-speaking institutions are opposed to it. Since the publication of the first volume of the B and B commission, most English speaking delegates see no reason for UGEQ's unilingual organization. But UGEQ is financially and technically unable to cope with bilingual documents, says Jean Sicotte, external vice• president of the Sir George William's students' association. He said UGEQ cannot produce all the necessary documents in French as it is. Sicotte added he will oppose any motion for an amendment to change the unilingual basis of UGEQ. He said delegates from Universite de Montreal, Laval CUP QUEBEC CORRESPONDENT and Sherbrooke would almost certainly oppose any such motion. He pointed out the large majority of U de M students had voted in favor of Rene Levesques option • Quebec Separatism. Sicotte says the English student councils should be responsible for better communications between UGEQ and the student population. It would be up to the individual university councils to translate the material. Richard Burkart, external vice-president of the McGill Students Society, said several McGill delegates were in favor of the bilingualism. He said, however, an amendment introducing bilingualism should be introduced at the next year's congress because of UGEQ's unstable financial situation. "Bilingualism is necessary if UGEQ wants to. be a progressive organization," he said. Loyola student council president Graham Nevin said two Ian guages within the UGEQ framework was desirable. He said he would back such a motion, as UGEQ would become more representative and inform the Quebec students more adequately.

Dear Sir, I well realize that most everyone has their own individual way of interpreting and internalizing events and differ• ent phenomenon;! am also awa~e ~at we all wear our own special kind Of glasses and see wh a t is : Most meaningful to ourselves Want to see We are led to see But the most recent snow job of student power is the most destructive attempt on the part of a small faction of students to lead a passive and confused mass of students down the "garden path" in recent years. Some questions that I have pondered over the past few few weeks are; Can any of you deny the fact that as long as you have been able to back up statements logically, and factually, you have been given full credit for that statement. How many of you ever ask questi·ons 1.n the c1assrooms.;, Scare d you'll get centred out? Scared that you will show the others in the class how much you have been studying? How many of you have come to this or any University to actually work at learning. Did you come here for a cheap degree? How many of you are selective at registering for courses, looking for the lighter load? How many of you nominated someone to run in the recent elections? How many of you asked questions of them, supported your choice or talked I.Do they really know (do you) what is meant by communication? 2.Are they, (are you) aware of the actual position of the power structure that sets down the legislation governing student activities and participation in education, sports, extracurricular activities, etc.? 3.Are they (are you) really willing to communicate to the fullest extent with others? First, I would like to point out that communication is a two way exchange of ideas, atti• tudes, opinions, etc. If at any time this EXCHANGE breaks down, or one party refuses to exchange ideas, attitudes, opinions etc., there can be no communication. it up among yourselves, showing the good and the bad points of those that were running? How many of you sit in the classroom and force the Professor to keep talking just to break the monotony of the silence in the room? Just what the hell do you want? Upon asking one member of the student body about whether or not he would be against the idea of having members of the faculty administration, or other senior members, sitting in on student body meetings so that he could relate to the student body feelings of those senior boards; he was totally against the idea. That's communication!!!! To further tlie argument on communication, how many stu• dents have tried to communicate with their respective lecturers, profs., and/or other members of faculty, administration, etc.? I'm all for making changes both in the structure of University and in the format of coursses; but, how about working together towards a common goal, for the common good of all those concerned. He who listens the most, learns .the most. But this is on the assumption that he will also interject with questions. The students of this, like all other, universities are either one way or the other, apathetic or nihilistic. If you can't understand fully what is going on, you don't ask questions, you just want to destroy the whole system. One must rem- MODS MAKE MUSIC MONDAY ember that the very foundation of the Universily 1s based on the student body. If the students are apathetic to what is going on, how can the structure of the University help them?

Briefly, it means not getting excited even under the greatest provocation, not running off at the mouth even when great insults have been levelled, nor bearing grudges against those who have done the provoking or insulting. In other words, "keeping one's cool" means showing that one is worldlywise, sophisticated, and yes, maybe even just a little bored with the ways of the world. For my money, the 1967·68 grand prize for keeping cool goes to the Administration of Lakehead University. It took a tremendous amount of cool to ignore the graffiti in the tunnel, and much more of the same to leave the scrawlings• where they were. • Possibly, one of the reasons is that the "student-power" bit has reached what might be called the saturation-point, and that a reaction of boredom is inevitable. Writing on walls, after all, is a kindergarten-syndrome that all parents have to put up with,. and even mothers often get tired trying ! to scrub the crayon-scratches off the livingroom walls. To compare the scribbling of fashionable. slogans on· the walls of L. U.'s humble tunnel to the writing of the "finger of •God" on the walls of Belshazzar's palace, is to make a mystical exper• ience out o1 a cowardly and small-minded act of vandalism. Most students shrugged their shoulders at the childish prank, deplored it, and forgot about it. It _might be as well if the Argus did the . same, instead of elevating it to an idealistic plane, and expressing admiration for the anonymous housepainter; for if such work qm be called art, then Adolf Hitler, too, was an artist. Maybe the Editor put his finger on the real problem when he attributed the scrawler's action to "frustration". Frustration lashes out in the most unexpe~ted ways, and is often directed against something qui"te unrelated to it. Heaven only knows •what the hang-ups of the scrawler were, but one thing is certain; they did nothing to further the cause of !'student-power". Rather they served to take the fuse out of the time-bomb. Poetic justice, that ... When we are warned to "Look South, Baby, and think . .... , we are asked to look at the evils of the United States• aggi;ession in Vietnam, the raceriots, and all the other unrest rampant South of our border. But have Canadian student newspapers ever stopp~d to think _that ·this slogan applies eq1Jally to all the "student-power" riots, .which started in California, that State famous for its ·"kookiness", its disproportionate share of religious fanatics and political zealots? Yes, indeed, "look South, Baby, and think" Think of the educational system in use there. Think of the "mickey-mouse" courses offered in such things as golf, basket-weaving, and other inane subjects for which credits are given at some of the lesser Universities in the more obscure corners of the .great Republic. Think, and be grate· ful that you attend a Canadian University, from where you will obtain (hopefully) a degree that will stand up anywhere on the North-American continent. "Look S0uth, Baby, and think". Think of the fact that you live in a country where you can be green with purple polka-dots and not be discriminated against. And don't believe for a moment that the advocates of student-anarchy have cornered the market on thinking. It has become increasingly more apparent that they think of themselves as prophets, and anyone who considers himself a visionary has clearly lost his perspective, his "cool". Thin_!{ of the fact that just "being an individual" is not enough. Sure, "doing your own thing" is wonderful, but be sure that the "thing" ·is positive and real, not an ephemeral castle in Spain. Think of your courses, whether in the humanities or in science, as "disciplines", and know that knowledge requires not only an abiding interest, but a sense of responsibility as well. Freedom alone does not guarantee that you may acquire wisdom; only self-discipline and contemplation and time will expand the mind, not hallucinatory drugs. Unless, of course, you want to follow the example of the Incas, who got high on powdered mushrooms, sat.around in a happy haze, and became extinct. Keep your cool, man. Don't join just any American "revolution: because it is the "in" thing". (Remember, our Forefathers did not join in the general excitement in 1776, but, being Northerners, kept their cool.) And if you are not too happy with the educational "status quo", try to make the best of it. I doubt if there is a perfect system of higher learning anywhere in the world, and if there were, I'm sure it would be very dull indeed, rather than exciting. For perfection in itself means total attainment, and and as long as man's spirit strives and surges onward, attainment can never be achieved. In the words of Dr. John Mayer, Professor of Philosophy at Brock University, the solution is to "find values and fulfillment in less than perfect institutions; to learn the techniques of coping with the sham and the irrelevant, and still have time for the good, the true, and the beautiful glimpsed amid the dross" . That, Baby, is "keeping your cool". �March 1, 1968 Page 5 THE ARGUS Traitor or Patriot by Boyd Hussey "Most of all my poetry is personal, having to do with things like death, happiness ... " That's Bruce Maine speaking. Bruce came to us this week from Colorado by way of Ne• braska and because of his draft board. There is only a touch of the American "twang" in his otherwise quiet voice. The full impact of what he has done and what he hopes to do has not yet struck him. No doubt Bruce spent a great deal of time considering whether or not he should leave the United States.. It became apparent, however, that he had not spent enough time considering WHY he should leave. His words revealed that as deep as his thoughts are and as well founded as they may be, they lack the conviction that is necessary for true belief. Bruce has made the mistake of speaking out during the period of incubation that thoughts must go through. It is a mistake to be avoided if one hopes to convince others. Until Mr. Maine has transformed his thoughts into beliefs he will have difficulty with all but those it is· not necessary to convince. Bruce feels, and feels is the correct word at the moment, that the Vietnam war is wrong from an American point of view because "the things America was founded on, self-determination and popular revolution, are at stake. "If Americans can't fullfil their dream at home they have no right to extend it anywhere else. The Vietnamese should be able to eat his bowl of rice in peace whether he is a COMMUNIST or a capitalist ... It is impossible to resist the Vietnam war by saying I am against this war. You have to be opposed to all wars." He felt that the "American Dream" had a great deal to do with the problems at home and in Vietnam. "The people realize that they have the dream but not the reality, so they want to give it to someone else." What 1s the "American Dream"? "A man is a man, able to do with his life what he can. It is something that can't be decided Bruce Main by laws but only within the individual. We say we're a free society bur we're not. America has committed the greatest genocide since Hitler in its treatm.e nt of the Negro. The •American Dream' was an ideal valid for the founding fathers. It has never existed." He spoke too of misguided patriotism. "The average American patriot is a complete ass, more willing to give his life for a tri-coloured rag or Mom or apple pie than for the Nigger down the block. If there are not enough people willing to die for America as it is now, then America is not worth dying for" Bruce Maine is an idealist, disillusioned, but still in love with his country. He wants to change it • somehow. Perhaps his stay in Canada will ~ive him the time necessary to find out why. "As much as I despise what America is doing, I still love America. Maybe because it's a dream. Maybe because it's given me things I wouldn't be able to have elsewhere. As long as there are people in America who don't know this freedom then I can't feel a free man." World Federalists - a ''nice'' idea by Simon Hoad The achievement of world rule under law of an effective supra-national authority is the professed aim of tile World Federalists. However, the implementation of such a plan must have more substance than afew repeated platitudes about world peace if it is going to have a policy capable of implementation. All murderers on the national level have, and do, continue to profess their single-minded devotion to the pursuit of peace as the panzers rolled into Poland and the bombs fell on Hanoi. The single issue of the Canadian World Federalist magazine examined seemed much like an innocuous 'house organ of Big Business Corporation. Why, in preaching ideas for promoting peat:e must cream puff methods be used? The reason I am reacting with anger is that the World Federalists do have some good policies. The idea of a World federation that is not a super government, with sovereignty only over unilateral actions of one nation against another, is the only variation of a larger than national government that has a chance for success. The mazagine should spend less time printing pap for tile consumption of its 3000 plus Canadian members. As certain of its members realize membership must be much larger before it can have any influence on Canadian government policy. But a need for growth must not mean thatthe members become an inward turning, selfcongratulatory group of the •saved'. There is a definite trend in human society for a replacement of feuding, ordeals, contests and wager of battle by rule of law. However to just stop conflict avoids an important point. Conflict is useful. Marriage, civil rights, and national states are all institutions built on conflict THeARGUS VOLUME 11, No. XX and its sensible, purposeful control. What we need is regulated conflict. (Much the same as we have regulated sexuality; no repression and anarchy results or total repression and man faces extinction.) Perhaps we should follow Konrad Lorenz and work to find methods of further "ritual- izing" our aggressive tendencies. , In Japan, the World Feder• alist organization is very powerful. When that state occurs in .Canada perhaps we will have more government attention than a 'nice' letter from Mr. Pearson. (After all I also believe in Motherhood and Apple Pie; so what?)

So what.? Dr. J.B. Rudnyckyj,Head of the Dept. of Slavic Studies at the University of Manitoba, provided pa.rt of the answer when he visited the Lake head recently. Dr. Rudnyckyj believes that language is one of the basic human rights and that everyone has the right to communicate in his own language. During his talk he mentioned three methods of recognizing languages which discourage and even destroy are used in most countries. "A linguistic groups.

He defined linguicide as: "Any attempt by any society or government to suppress or restrict the use of any language by any of it's cultural groups."

Local artists featured at recent exhibition Hedda Gabler: • a review by tuck It was a fine evening, then; m fact, even a delightful one_, if it is considered that much that occurred was unexpected. It took a little time to get over the ini rial shock of hearing one madame in the audience comment, "It must be ninety degrees in here, but I just had to wear my mink," but after effectively separating the Lakehead Theatre Goers from the Lakehead Theatre appreciators, I had very little trouble in settling down to watch the play. The first act seemed to drag somewhat, but I had been given reassurance from a stagehand that it would pick up in the later acts. And it did just that. The interest and subsequently, the proficiency of the actors seemed to rise with the progressing drama of Ibsen's play. Through the third and last act I was carried by the presentation, to the inevitable climax of Hedda Gabler's suicide. Indeed, I had completely forgotten that I was in the Lakehead watching the Cambrian Players. A success it was, showing evidence of much worthwhile work and perhaps more important showing promise of better work to come. Jenny Phillips, playing the lead, exhibited a great deal of poise and confidence as well as great feeling for her part. As I understand, it was her first play, so I look forward with anticipation to her next vennue. Ken Allan in the role of Judge Brack, as always, lent an air of professionalism to the cast and seemed to inspire confidence to the rest of the players whenever he was on stage . Dennis Mills as Jorgen Tessman and Joan Brooker as Thea Elvsted both seemed somewhat unsure of themselves, but as both the parts they played called for rather weak char- , acteri zations, tt made little difference and they improved as the play went on. Elizabeth Arnot and Lyn Pylypiw as the aunt and maid respectively, both played their parts adequately, if somewhat amateurishly. In general, the production spoke well of its director, Pat Wesley. He evidently had much hard work in helping the cast into a familiarity with their parts and this, coupled with the technical side of production, is to be commended. If any suggestions to the improvement of future presentations are to be made, I would recommend that more time be spent in choosing a play, in full consideration ofthe capabilities of the players to be involved. A play chosen to fit the actors. This thought might even lead to the writing of such a play, a totally Lak.ehead produ~tion. Again, then, HEDDA GAB· LER was a success, and also a needed shot of artistic ad1enalin into the arm of our culturally parali zed community.

Murray Smith has done a fine job in the I.C.H.A. scoring race this year. As we went to press he had a 12 point lead on his nearest opponent who had 2 games left. With intercollegiate practice and interfoan sports being played in the fieldhouse, it looks like the building is a good investment. Coach Birger has recently gone on a scouting trip, but he ·won't divulge whether he has picked up any hoopster prospects. •••• There is a big argument among Birger's boys on what to call the new fieldhouse. Among names submitted by the Nor'Wester basketball team are Cameron's Camp, Holman's House, Holmstrom's Homestead, Johnston's Gym (Jim) or Pero's Palace. Congratulations to the cheerleader's once again for their support of teams during the year. It's too bad the students couldn't do the same, I think the great job they did on the one intercollegiate trip they did go on, should entitle them to at least a couple of trips next year. This year's cheerleaders included Sue Haglund, Jo-Ann Pettit, Lois Logozzo, Mary Carol Zuback, Carla Hagstrom, Jean Boyes, Marg Bums and Mary Currie. Thanks to the people of Ashland and of Northland College once again for such a great time on L.U.'s basketball trip. L.U. lost the basketball game 93-67 with Don Holmstrom once again leading the way for L.U. with 21. The L.U. cheerleaders were in excellent foan at the Thunder Bay Association Booster Night last Saturday. The cheerleaders had many new cheers and the crowd appreciated their excellent half time show. After the game the girls held a shower in the gicl's washroom for a certain L.U. player. He really appreciated it and is now planning his revenge. Rob Cameron, played the role as "Hollywooder of the year" managed to take over as coach for a few practices this week. Then he pranced over to the bleachers during the game to chase a ball for the ref. (he just wanted to say hello to a few girl fans) . •••• Mike Wren did an excellent job for the L.U. ski team recently in the O.1.A.A. ski meet. Mike was the top L.U. perfoaner this year after placing second on last year's team. L.U. is now 2 for 2 in OJ.A.A. ski championships. •••• Interfoan basketball is really moving along with the use of the fieldhouse. The top teams so far seem to be Arts 111, the Teachers College and Business. •••• Don't forget the big S.A.S. Athletic Dinner, Friday, March 22Guest speaker will be Father David Bauer. He will also officiate at the dedication of the fieldhouse on Saturday, March 23. •••• Congratulations to Tony Bennett of the L.U .. security staff who was honoured in early February as Fort William's senior sportsman of the year at the Sport's Celebrity Dinner. I did a story on the banquet but along with several other sports stories it wasn't printed, (because the Argus has become the advertiser's haven) so we can have garbage like page nine in the paper. •••• The girls basketball team has done a fine job this year. Four girls made the women's Allstars. They were Judy Perlin, Glenis Holmes, Marita Riekstins and Susan Savage. •••• Confederation College has an open invitation to all students interested in skydiving. Barney Bree is in charge at Confederation. Meetings are held Mondays at 8:30 p.m. at the Northwood High School gym. For more informatjon, contact Barney Bree. •••• We all wish Chad Hannah, managing editor of the Argus, a speedy and healthy recovery from a back injury received in an Argus-A.M.S. hockey game. Chad is at St. Joseph's Hospital in Port Arthur. Drop in and say hello. P .S. Chad has beautiful nurses. •••• Lou Pero of the Nor'Westers scored the first point in the new fieldhouse in a game. The Lakehead University curling team skipped by Bill Andrusco with Larry Eustace lead, Cal Montgomery second, and Tom Fry, (a last minute replacement for Rick Moats, who was forced to stay home for academic reasons) at third, placed third in the Ontario Intercollegiate Athletic Association Curling Championship held at the Terrace Curling Rink in Toronto. In the first draw Friday, Lakehead University met a strong Laurentian University curling team and were defeated 12·6. The second draw appeared to have Lakehead University finding the range on the strange ice as they defeated Trent University 9-7, then met Osgoode Hall in the third draw of the day and defeated them, this time by a 10-8 score. Every match on Friday had the Lakehead University team curling stronger and they continued this trend into the championship • ID curling round on Saturday, when they met Waterloo Lutheran University. This first game of the championship washy farLakehead University's best but they came against brilliant shot making from all members of the Waterloo team and were whipped 14-7 in the 12 end contest. Disaster struck in the ninth end where four missed shots allowed Waterloo to steal four to take a five point lead with only three ends to play. Waterloo then went on to defeat Ryerson, defending champions, who had previously beaten Laurentian University. Osgoode Hall won the consolation championship by fjrst defeating York University, then Trent University. The standings at the conclusion of the tournament was Waterloo first, Ryerson second, Lakehead University third, Laurentian University fourth, Osgoode Hall fifth, Trent sixth, Brock seventh, and York eight. Business downs Science Second place Business downed third place Science by an 11-0 score in the P.A. Arena. Business was led by Bruce Fallen, George Paddington and Brian Kushner, each with two goals, and singles by Laurie Albertini, Terry Paul, Jim Pronger, Allen Hovi and Larry Perrier.

By getting a group together for a certain sport, one has only to phone over to reserve the gym for a certain sport if the time is open. Usually there will be time to reserve the gym in the mornings and afternoons during the week. The faculty has a reserve on the court during some of the evenings and most of the other evenings are taken up by interform tennis, volleyball, badminton, and rhythmic gymnastics . Schedules for interform games and free time spots may be obtained by phoning the athletic secretary at extension 213 . take its toll on the slower allstar team. Jim Brownrigg led Alls tar scorers with 14 while Elwin added 11, Love 6, and Trimble and Deblasio potted 4 each. Roy Holman hooped 8 for the Nor'Wester, while"PassP as·s" Cameron had 6, Johnston, Koski and Hebert (Cooch) 4 each, Woods 3 and Andros and Holmstrom, (having a real poor game), 2 each. This marked the completion of the season for L.U. as they finished with a 13-11 mark. In the girls game, die Women's Allstars overpowered a tough C.K.P .R. Duffer team 16-13. L.U. players on the team fared well and along with Eleanor Ward seemed to control the game.

We can readily observe in such persons many disorders that occur to a lesser extent in most of •the population. Though these offenders are usually convicted of property offences, they show signs of serious conflicts about their own sexual identity, and cannot perceive sexual intercourse as part of an interpersonal relationship. The role of sexual inadequacy as one of the interacting causations of criminality has certainly been underestimated. The heterosexual relationships of offenders usually rooted in hostility and, as is always the case in actual rape, the genitals are often used as weapons. Neurotic guilt, which often originates with moral guilt, is usually neutralized by excessive use of ego-defence mechanisms, alcohol, or some other intoxicant. Depression, catego,:ical suicide (social, vocational, academic, etc.), self-depreciation, are also indicative of the resulting poor self-concept, that is associated with overwhelming guilt. Crime and sexuality are indeed expressions of the entire personality and in many cases, the flight into prison is part of systematic retreat from the tensions of everyday life, with which the delinquent cannot cope . Many of those whom we are briefly describing, tend to fluctuate between being controlled by their consciences and being controlled by impulses, ·or to satisfy both psychic institutions simultaneously and unconsciously. As the reader is aware, this is not characteristic of the mature, integrated person who is guided by reality. Nor is it confined to offenders. The person who has an extramarital relationship and feels obligated to fall in love, is also attempting to neutralize guilt feelings by "justifying" the forbidden relationship. There are many unhappy people, especially among the single, separated, and divorced, who may have resorted to some neurotic solution such as frigidity, promiscuity or perversion, largely because o~ the ~xiety they experience in heterosexual relat10nsh1ps. . The repetitiousness of some of the sahent aspects of the affairs of individuals with serious sexual conflicts is also noteworthy. They seem to •be capable of growing out of a certain level of psycho-sexual functioning. The role ?f u_nconscious motivation is evidtnt here. This d1sc;repancy, bet wee~ unwi t~ngl y . inter~ali zed value systems and conscious mtentlons, 1s observable in anti-authoritarians as distant as Freud · and some of the "hippies". The essential conflict is not so much between the individual and cultural values as it is within his own psyche (between his desires and conscience). A common denominator in the difficulties of the sexually inadequate male, is the belief that wom~n are innate} y evil, and therefore to_ be feared. The voyeur-exhibitionist _in the film, "Reflections in a Golden Eye", believed that all women had a dreadful disease. Sexually inadequate women tend to_ have related delusions about men and of theu own sexuality. Such women perceive men as thce~tening . in one way or an~ther. ~nle~s there is an organic disorder, as m 3: ~u~onty _of cases, sexual inadequacy in the mdivid~al is us~ally rooted· in some system of myths, either received directly from the culture, or indirectly through the mediation of family life in childhood. Some of these myths seem to have been handed down from primitive societies, where they were often of economic importance. The one we will refer to, since it is the basis of so much contemporary sexual confusion, is what can be described as the conflicting image of woman as the virgin-prostitute. That is to say that a woman's social position depends on her chastity, or that she is degraded by its loss. (Victorianism can be criticised for making frigidity a virtue). The extent to which this image of woman underlies impotence in married males, as· well as frigidity in females, is amazing. We are all familiar with the type of male who is extremely inhibited in marital intercourse, hut quite potent in sexual relations with prostitutes or women he really despises: Nor is the woman who is cold at home hut responsive abroad, uncommon. Such are examples of individuals who believe that sexual intercourse (even in marriage, because such strongly ingrained attitudes do not disappear with the ceremony) changes a woman from a state of purity, which we will loosely call "virginity", to the defiled state of"prostitution". As is the case in many Victorian-type marriages, the woman comes from the shelf to the rank of other household utilities. Marital disharmony is often further increased if one partner finds sexual satisfaction extramaritally, and especially if progressive indiscretion ensues. I am not condoning sexual licence which is usually practised in the name of sexual freedom. There is an amazing similarity between the values of many, who are overtly sexual radicals and the rigidity that they consciously oppose. Creative thinkers have repeatedly questioned whether man has made any real progress. It is acknowledged that we are physically more comfortable in many places. Levi Strauss, the French Ethnologist, Franz Boaz, the Cultural Anthropologist, Sigmund Freud and other eminent students of mankind indicated that this is questioflahle. The Bible said that we have all sinned and do not deserve God's glory (and I presume it means we will continue to). And yet, despite the persistence of ·widespread adversity, "".e see~ to have allowed ourselves to ·be deluded mto thmking that we have made genuine progress. But that's another story. Let us look at some examples of ·"unhealthy" sexual beliefs among primitives and possible links with some contemporary views. The reader is no doubt aware that impotence occurs also in primitive societies (so atavistic regression is no solution - intended to be funny). I will refer to two of early man's beliefs that seem relevant (from Virginity by Ottokar Nemecek). 1. that evil spirits could enter the body through orifices. 2. that nuptial and menstrual blood were magically potent. In Equatorial Congo, it is believed that the ringing of a hell could ward off evil spirits, ~o women in this region wear bells near theu genitals. Belief in the magical power of virginity is illustrated by fertility magic rites. The Phoenicians sacrificed° a virgin .-:>n important occasions. To he admitted to the Roman Vestals, a girl had to he 6 to IO years old (and I presume she would he chaste). In ·Medieval times virgins were believe!J, to he immune to demonaic powers. There are many other such examples. Primitive man believed that drinking the blood of an animal gave the individual the animal's characteristics, since the life of the animal was in its blood. As the reader may know, Roman epileptics drank the blood of gladiators and blood was prescribed as medication in Byzantium and Medieval France among other places. When first-horns were being slaughtered in Egypt (according to the Bible), sprinkling blood on the doorposts was protective. The brotherhood of blood is both practised and symbolised in many .conlemporary societies. Blood letting became a revered activity. MenstruaJ blood has been greatly feared from primitJve times especially in patriarchal societies. Pliny wrote to the effect that if a menstruating woman came into contact with wine it would sour; that grafting and cuttings would wither, that a mirror would loose its brilliance and an iron blade would become dull. In Judaism, and to a less exten't Christianity, after childpirth a woman had to he .purified before entering the temple. The Lebanese believed that if a menstruating woman cast her eyes on a snake, it would wander·off and die. This brief excursion is intended to exemplify the fear and reverence ·that primitive man had ·for blood, body orifices and women. These interrelated attitudes were rooted largely in magical thinking which, to primitive man, was of economic importance (in the general sense). Though scientific understanding has dispelled the basis for these ideas, some of the incidental taboos have been transmitted to civilized man. Let us glimpse at one of the religiocultural vehicles. It is well known that the Council of Trent of first century Christianity damned anyone who felt that marriage was a better state than virginity or eel ehacy. The en tire J udaeo-Chris tian tradition has tended to enforce excessive sexual inhibitions. In some denominations, religious leaders are not permitted to marry, despite the Church's sanction of marriage. Thus , as in Bonanza, those who are presented ashaving attained the highest ideals , ar-e sexually inactive. Medieval Church values still form the foundation of many ci vii laws, especially those governing sexual behavior. Victorianism was in the same repressive tradition. We have retained this attitude at the cultural and individual 1evel partly as the conflicting image of woman mentioned earlier. The misconception that loss of chastity has a magical meaning, underlies some contemporary falsities about sexuality . This myth should have been buried with the un-scientific era to which it belonged. It has been a source of dis tress throughout the ages, and does not seem to have contributed significantly to morality. Lest the reader misinterpret this asan advocation of promiscuity , I wish to restate that I do not believe that individual or cultural sexual conflicts can be resolved by licence , promiscuity, or frigidity or any other neurotic system of behaviour. What seems to be needed is a consistent and enlightened approach, based ultimately on an understanding and acceptance of the total person. I feel that what is known about sexuality should receive much better representation in cultural values and the law. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Their formal resignations take effect Friday, June 28, at 5:00 p.m. In accordance with the AMS Constitution, Peter McCormack will now move up to the post of President. Recent controversy centered around these two executive members foreshadowed the announcement. Starting as a motion of non-confidence in both Burns and Barkwell, the issue was further complicated by Dr. Tamblyn's meeting with Barkwell concerning his academic record. According to Barkwell, he was presented with ari "ultimatum" to the effect that he would be barred from re-registering at Lakeheaq University if he did not resign from his position in the AMS. Following an interview with Barkwell (the complete transcript can be found on page 3), the ARGUS contacted Dr. Tamblyn to hear the Administration's side of the story. When questioned regarding the "ultimatum" delivered to Barkwell, Tamblyn said, "I deny that there was any ultirrritum whatsoever." He explained that as acting Dean of Arts he was entirely within his rights to review personally the cases of all failures in the Faculty of Arts. "There is nothing unusual in this review at all; it happens every year'~ he said. Tamblyn said that all students would be judged by the same criteria.

The application form itself is a maze which threat'ens the sanity of anyone filling it out. Initially, the applicant is required to fit into one of the designated categories in order to qualify for any type of aid whatsoever. These categories are: 1) that the applicant has completed four successful years of post-secondary education, or 2) that he prove that he has worked for twel\f"e -consecutive onths prior to registration, be 1 years of age and provide a declaration of financial independence or 3) that he be a married student prior to registration for the coming academic year. These categories, it must be remembered, are for those students that are not dependent on their parents for financial support. The plan remains basically the same as last year in the respect that dependent students' parents are required to complete the means test in order to qualify their sons or daughters for aido Hou SING PENTTI PAULARINNE V-<Jte.c:tofl. 06 066-Campu.6 HoU6ing As in past years, the problem of housing at Lakehead is a bitch. Pentti Paularinne, the Director of Off-Campus Housing, said that most of last year's landlords have been contacted. However, an acute shortage is already apparent, as some landlords are reluctant to rent to students. An extensive advertising campaign is planned for the next month~ It may be necessary to go into Fort William in order to find accommodations. This would increase transportation costs. The completion of half the new 480 bed residence. by September will alleviate some of the problem, but students requiring housing will be advised to write the Off-Campus Housing Bureau, NOW, and indicate the accommodations they require, or it's the tents for September. Monique Oullette, President of the Ontario Union of Students, was interviewed by the Canadian University Press, and said that the announcement regarding the revised program was "deceiving and disappointing. It marks a regression in an already highly imperfect program". In referring to the deadline introduced this year for the receipt of applications (October 31), Miss Ouellette said, "The introduction of a deadline date shows greater concern for administrative peace of mind tharl for the well , being of students." Coupled with new qual~fications for aid are the following changes: an increase in ~ost of living allowances for dependent and married students, revision of the parental contribution table which makes aid from parents more in accordance with their financial abilities, and that students who have tne full use of an automobile are· to be treated as if they own the automobile when finan- cial resources are calculated. In charging that the program was not sufficient, Ouellette said, "Unt i1 much more money is made available and a program is devised to help students on the basis of their actual financial need and nothing else, Ontario will continue to tax the poor to finance the education of a largely middle-class population.'' Under the new system, there are numerous students who qualify for no type of aid whatsoever. There are the people who have not worked for the 12 month period, are not over 21 years of age and are i~dependent of financial aid from their parents. KERR - "No mo ne.y - no wa.y; " Any combination of these three stipulations will result in the same outcome - no money. It, therefore, appears that their only hope qf receiving aid this year is to write to the Department of University Affairs in Toronto and plead their case on the basis of some provision made for individual cases. Otherwise, it appears that there will be a ntDnber of students living at the Sally Ann and taking two courses, if any at all, this year. Unfortunately, Dean Kerr, the Dean of Students and Student Awards Officer for this campus, is unavailable for comment at press time owing to his attendance at a con~ ference out of· town. �7 ARGUS-2 Barkwell and Burns have been coerced into leaving office. On the pretense that they were maintaining the academic standards of the .University as a whole, and regardless of how they manipulat~d the Senate regulation, Tamblyn &Co. have ejected these two AMS executive members from all student activities. That Barkwell and Burns are AMS officials is not important. What is more important is that they are also students. Place them in this perspective· and then relate it to yourself. It's clear that the administration has the power to decide what courses we are compelled to take, but also that they can decide what activities, if any, we are allowed to participate, in after lectures. • Tamblyn is constantly referring to ~is "community of scholars" concept - bullshit, straight bullshit. How can there ever be any free exchange of ideas or free thought for that matter, when he has the power to detennine what we can do when allowed to register? When a university official places any type of condition on a student's entrance, then the entire ideal behind a University is lost and the system i tse 1f becomes a_sham. 1 Your vote in the elections held in February was meaningless, and your ·vote in any future election is equally empty. Our council is a waste of time, and further discussion over the rights of students is also a waste until such time as we are willing to stand up and tell the adninistration .to go to hell. If University officials want trouble then they'll bloody well get it, and more than they can handle - enough to make them fall from their plastic imitation ivory towers down into the mass that will consume them. - a.h. _F__. o_m ______ M i s 1 _ _____..........

The loss of a quormn in the June 17 meeting marked the fourth session in a row in which council business could not be completed. As a result, several important budgets are still waiting to be passed, and in the opinion of some councillors, will not be dealt with until after the summer session.

BU/1.n.h • " Miss Powell was referring to the AMS Council meeting of June 17th which ended in chaos when Vice President of Progrannning, Jerry Burns, left the meeting at an extremely critical moment, owing to an apparent appointment elsewhere. The crisis developed over a motion of non-confidence in the AMS executive, made by council member and President of the Arts Society, Pat O'Brien. Perhaps .more important, there has been no action taken by council on the motion of non-confidence in the AMS executive. Although the grounds for the motion were not academic, there has been much discussion in council the, past three meetings over the scholastic qualifications of Mr. Barkwell & Mr. Burns. In the ensuing action, Burns arose & announced to the council that he had a prior commitment and would be forced to leave the meeting in fifteen minutes. Reminding the council that the quor\Dll would be lost upon Burns' departure, O'Brien withdrew his motion and Owen Marks, Arts IV representative, moved that that quormn be reduced to 8 members from 10. As the official minutes of the AMS council meeting of June' 9 will testify, Burns was questioned as to his intentions of returning to Lakehead University this September. As he.had failed his April examinations, Burns said that he had re-applied for Business Administration I. He also stated that he was awaiting the results of some aptitude tests he had taken that would determine whether or not he was best suited for this course The motion was put to the vote after a ten minute discussion period. It was at this point that Burns left the meeting and ~11 further action had to be halted. This somewhat timely exit of the V.P. of Prograrmning met with minor discontent on the part of some councillors, and hostile remarks from others. Heated conversations among councillors lasted far into the night. Mr. Marks stated, "By ~ ac..t,i,on-0 .th-l6 e.ve.n,i,ng, l i .6 e.erM tha.:t the. V.

" "One of our problems," he said, "Is that we clon 1 t have a coherent idea of what vre would like to see after the revolution." This pertJeating vagueness is symptomatic of the entire push for "student power". In the first place, it isn•t power at all, but rather • control of their destinies that students seek. In ~a.n.Y instances, student complaint·s a.re quite legitimate. The recent :Iall-J)ennis report on educa- tion recommends the abolition of school subjects as they a.re todey, P.11 grades, homework, formal examinations, percentage marks, and class standines. The report does not deal directly with current issues such as student pawar; student power as now sought would become irrevela.nt. But, Neil A. !.1acEachern of ;!aterloo, President of the Ontario Public School Trustees Association, SA.id the report delved into the obvious without touchincr the real p~blem - money. "A i rea.t many things in the repo=t are quite Utopian," he said. " ••• where are we going to get the money to establish such a system.

ARGUS: At present there are rumours circulating that you have or you are preparing to resign your position as President of the Alm·a Mater Society. Would you please comment on this. -BARKWELL: I have notified the other members of the executive of my intention to submit my resignation to be effective Friday, June 28th at 5:00 p.m. to prove myself to be able to handle the academics before I would again be allowed ·to resume periferal responsibilities. \ ARGUS: If you disagree with his reasons, ·why are you resigning this week?

BARKWELL's ARGUS: What are the reasons for the submission of your resignation? BARKWELL: My reasons are not because of lack of confidence in council nor that I feel that I have not been doing my job adequately. They are, however, because I can take courses at Lakehead University in the future only if I resign my position as President of the AMS and do not participate in any extra curricular )activities. I ARGUS: Who presented you with this ultimatum? BARKWELL: It was in an informal conversation that it was intimated (quite strongly) by the Registrar almost one week ago. But Dr. Tamblyn told me this morning that I could not, in his opinion, successfully complete an academic year while carrying on with any extra curricular activities. As he is Acting Dean of Arts, for me, it's resign or forget a university career. ARGUS: In pres en ting you with this ultimatum, what criterion did Dr. Tamblyn refer to in suggesting that you could not be academically successful and maintain your position as AMS President at the same time? BARKWELL: It was a personal judgment on the basis of my academic record having failed my year and having ' held the posts of Advertising Manager of ·the Argus, Vice President of the AMS and now, as President of the AMS. I tried to explain to him that I had learned to handle the academics with the extra curricular but ~is argument was th.at I would, have BARKWELL: I don't know that I was singled-out but it seems to me that the situation wouldn't have magnified if I had been a good corporate citizen and _gone along with the recommen,dations of the more experienced mem- ' bers of the university community who are trying to -protect me from myself. ULT/MAT BARKWELL: I think this is one of the most open mistakes that the Administration has made in their attempts to control the student body. The President of the University has been wise to cover up his enforcement of the Senate ruling regarding the maintainance of a C average for all students involved in extra-curricular activities. The significance of this to me is that we think that students should be involved in,. the decision-making of thi~ university, and yet, the Administration and the Senate will not give us the tokenism of allowing us to run our own student government. Dr. Tamblyn's arguments -might be valid in his context, but I don't think it can be overlooke9 that, under the "snow", you'll find the Senate. ARGUS: In other words, you feel this to be a direct assault by the Admin-■------------------a• govern istration on students' rights td themselves? not work towards this as effectively from too far outside the system. Besides, in order that-I might continue my education, I am going to require a Student Loan, and if I did remain as President, it has also been intimated (and backed-up with an example) that my chances of receiving the loan would be almost nil. BARKWELL: Definitely and more in that I feel that the Administ;ation and the Senate are challenging the stude~ts at a time when they can't retaliate effectively. It's all part of the bigbother, father-confessor attitude held towards students at Lakehead University. ARGUS: To your knowledge, is~_your's the only case of this • type under review by Tamblyn? .ARGUS: What do you think will happen from here? BARKWELL: I think that the students BARKWELL: have a great deal more to say about their education and their institute. Next year I can see students disregarding the fatherliness and starting to think on th~ir own. I have received a big lesson on how powerful the Administration and the Senate can be when they want to maintain the status quo. I hope that the students of Lakehead University will also be able to gain some insight into why they are, as JERRY FARBER explains, NIGGERS. We can think. We can. I thought that mine was to be the only one, but presumably, because of the situation, an Arts student that failed and has not been notified by the Registrar that he could repeat his year, will have his case reviewed as well. I felt that the way it was put to me was such that if I did resign, these other students would stand a better chance. ARGUS: Why do you feel that you have been singled out now? FI.EM MAKERS Several faculty members and students from Lakehead University are in the process of making a hot media right here in the frozen north. This realization takes the form of a half hour feature length sound film in black and white under the title of "Ely". The entire project evolved out of the enthusiasm generated at the Film Workshop at Quetcio this spring. Mr. A. Menhart, who will direct th~s film, estimates the cost to be about $7,500. Shooting for the film will be done locally and local act~rs have been approached for casting. Larry Anderson will edit the film and Mr. W. Houston will write the music. The script for "Ely" has been adapted from a short story by Jack L~mmon, a Lakehead University student. The story is considered excellent and the National Film Board has indicated their interest and offered their advice. Having already completed a seven minute experimental film called "The Film Mikers", the crew is preparing to do another professional job on "Ely". Interest has been shown by the AMS and the Lakehead Film Makers Guild in supplying funds for the production. It is hoped that most money will come from private subscriptions.. Shortage of funds is the only thing holding up the production. Equipment is also required as two 16 mm cameras are the only stock. Outlets for the completed film includ~ local televi~ion, ·Lakehead University, and, ~ventually, Toronto. In completing this film, Mr. Menhart ~~pes "to create an environment where more movies can be produced in the Lakehead 11 • St~d~ Ho~sln9 Gu.rea..'-4 Req_u.tre s Acco mod.a..t ions For- Stu.cle nt.s , Inc.I u.clinr coti+a.c.t: Perrffi Pt\ula.rhn,e , Oirec:\or of •51'.lden-t Hole.Sin~, IA kc he~cl Univer si+ y, ph. 3't5 •21lt �CONCERNING the nature of ARGUS-4 ANSWER: by Owen Marks QUESTION: 28/6/68ARGUS Bazarov is alive· and well in S.IJ.S. Whr1 is STUDENT POWER? ANSWER: Today's Today's Today's Today's Today's Joday's student student student student student student is is is is is is In Canada, the history of STUDENT POWER should be written only in the future tense. However - the students of only one Canadian university (Simon Fraser, B.C.) have really been able to affect a change in the administrative levels of their institution. Within a week, this summer, two presidents of this four year old university were forced to resign because of faculty & student pressure. However, the only effect STUDENT POWER has had in other Canadian universities is the acininistrations' granting to students a few Senate positions. Of course, npt even this miniscule form of administrative paternalism has been attempted at Lakehead University. There is not even a student Senate observer here. insecure. secure. alienated. involved. immature. mature. FATHER KNOWS BEST: There are a great many of you pursuing your education under difficult circumstances for which you deserve tremendous credit. None of you has all the physical facilities of the University you should have .... We oray that this University has helped you along your chosen path and has fulfilled its obligation to you in return for what you have done for it.

We had to have 60% to get in. (Unfortunately, I never asked in which subject.) But perhaps that university atmosphere was closer to what Tamblyn wanted than what he has now. The University existed because it was. The student obeyed his prof, the prof obeyed his employer. All were happy because no questions were ask- i .J li . s i ty e , did too much about our education. When · Tamblyn admi~ted t~at the University had a few defects, we thought he was j~st being humble. But since my freshman year one distant mistake and one not-so-distant miscalculation have torn this campus (and most of the others in the West) from an intellectual Elysium into a bright psychedelic 1968 world (reminiscent of 1848). Vietnam and the dying liberal-oriented civil rights movement were the spoilers. Both helped to shave away the student's umbilical cord of misplaced idealism and aimless pragmatism. QUESTION: What do you want? R has a is se o social ts are still the problems hi n the unicountry's univers1 y students ~ave not yet found the flaming social issue with which they could light the world on fire. Thus the social anxieties of the Canadian students are directed against the closest institution of oppression they can find -- the university administration. Although many radical students would very much like to destroy the economic system under which they toil, student representation on the Senate and Universal .Accessibility will not be the issues which will help them do this. OTHER VIEWS: It was revealed on Saturday that a small group, organized as Students for a Democratic Society, sparked the rebellions in the various colleges (USA). And one of the leaders of the group in an interview said, "Capitalism must go." He talked of his organization spreading off-campus 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 communists are proven right.

There were graduates in front of us, full professors in back of us and a few unfortunate lecturers and assistant professors in the mud beside us. At last someone gave the word and we set off in a dead run toward the armegeddon. We marched into the building and around the balcony. Half way around someone tripped and _pulled the cord to the electric organ. It was only the beginning. • At ,. J.as t we were a 11 seated. Everything went nicely until Lord Caradon began to speak.

Upon hearing his credits one faculty member exclaimed {under his breath), "My God! EveJLywheJLe :the man'-6 been :the/Le' -6 .been .tlr.ouble." . Of course adding to our discomfort was the fact that we were unable to smoke. It is impossible to sort out which of the events of the afternoon contributed most to our discomfort. For your consideration they were: l) ' the absurd speech 2) the lack of smoking privileges and 3) the ridiculous custom of kneeling before the Chancellor to have degrees conferred. \ As 'each person knelt, t~e Chancellor whispered something in his ear. There are conflicting reports as to what he said. All in all the afternoon was not a complete waste. I defeated the faculty member next to me in an exciting game of chess. -Larry Anderson Ontario.

The c.nnounceoent came this morning (June 24) after recent controversy raged on and off campus. According to the University P,esident the crisis over the now-unoccupied building arose after Port William City council refused to allocate additional funds to maintain the ur:keep of the structure. It \Vas reported that some Aldermen were anrious over the fact students were 11 not getting the education we intended them to get" and that, for the most part,the entire complex was a "waste of tax money". Rumours to the effect that student activists, who were "inspired by commies" accordine to the Fort William Titles Journal, also pla;y-ed a major role in the recent upheaval. Earlier this year students voiced their dissent, in a token capacity, by mass urination upon the north parapet of the structure. However, regardless of what .the reasons were, the building, referred to as the "castle" or the "death trap 11 by some, is finally coming beaten t.ro of the stronger tea.ms in the league.

At Western, an eight hundred bed residence which was scheduled to open in September will open in late November. Student President John Yokum said the delayed opening will mean at least 500 students will have difficulty locating housing. Administrators say the situation will be improved somewhat by iOO houses formerly used by Air Force Personnel at the Centralia Air Base, which will be available for students to rent. Yokum said the base housing will provide transportation problems, as Centralia is 40 minutes from the campus. He emphasized the success of the plan would depend on transportation arrangements made for the students living there. Western had a tent-in last year to protest lack of accommodation and to bring the problem into the public eye. CONSTRUCTION HALTED All construction on the Lakehead University campus is at a standstill. SETTLEMENT PROSPECTS POOR With. 5 trade unions on strike, there is no hint of an early settlement. An estimated $12.5 million in university construction is tied up by the strikes: none of the new buildings At a meeting with the Lakehead Builder's Exchange last Thursday, the five striking unions agreed to negotiate jointly in the future, but there was no other change in the positions of management or labour. Half the residence buildings were to be completed for the coming school none of the expected 240 beds will be ready, and the student housing bureau will have the task of finding student living quarters. Pentti Paularinne, Director of Off-Campus Housing, was unavailable for comment. Herb Fulton, President of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, Local 339, declined comment on ·the expected length of the strike, but said that, "No da.te was set foP a futUl'e meeting." The electrical workers were asking $1 an hour over two years, and were offered 50¢ over · the same period when negotiations broke off. will be ready for September. Three floors of the centre wing of the Centennial Science Building were to be ready for September, but barring a quick strike settlement, the building will remain closed. According to Dr. Tamblyn, science students may have to attend Saturday Labs to help relieve the crowded faciliti9S now in use. When told that Dr. Tamblyn had said . the building would not be ready in the fall, Dr. Hart, Dean of Science said, "He hasn't told me that. " Dr. Hart refused to comment further concerning the difficulties that might be caused by the construction holdup. A third building, the student centre, was scheduled for completion in the spring of 1969. Due to exp~cted increased registration in the fall, the Great Hall may be used for cafeteria space. The present facilities were designed to accommodate 500 students, but enrollment in the fall will be greater than 2000.

UNFINISHED RESIDENCES FOR SEPTEMBER S.S. ELECTION' The Lakehead University Summer School Society has elected a new slate of officers for 1968-69. A strike threatens to halt construction of a 1,000 bed structure at the University of Guelph. In May, 1200 students were evicted from an apartment building. The Guelph Student Council is now preparing plans for a tent-in if the expected crisis fully develops. At Waterloo, a press&_radio campaign is planned to find housing. Director of Housing_, Edith Beausoleil, expects September to be hectic but not impossible. She said there are many people willing to rent temporary accommodations to students. Besides 180 electrical workers, there Successful for the position of Chairman on the new executive was Cliff HubeP, with Steve Sipos and MaPg Conor as Vice-Chairmen, Boyd Dr>ake as Treasure and Pat Hott as secretary. S.S. EXECUTIVE - L. to R. - Steve Sipos, Marg Connor, VICE-CHAIRMEN; Cliff Huber, CHAIRMAN: Pat Holt, SECRETARY; Boyd Drake, TREASURER. Prior to the election meeting on July 10th, there was considerable talk of disbanding the Society altogether owing to recent failure to promote effective programming. At that meeting it was decided to select an executive from the councillors, as the planned student election had drawn no nominations. �ARGUS/2 JULY 19TH SIMON saYs says - by Simon Hoad Happiness is knowing that Giner is pregnant, _ and that you are not implicated, 'cause Ginger is a horse.

I Tent There is a good chance that there will be a miniature Resurrection City on campus this fall. Some members of the Alma Mater Society Council Student Loan Committee have recently been advocating an effective form of protest against the provincial government loan programme. A student "tent city" to be constructed on the lawns around the university now appears to be one of the chief recommendations the committee will present to Council. The University of Guelph student President, Don Langford, is planning the same type of demonstration for his campus this fall. His aims, however, appear to be C 1 t Y mittee. According to the Ontarion, Guelph student newspaper, Langford is proposing the "city" because of a shortage expected in residence accommodation due to a possible plumbers' strike. Presently, the chief aim of the Lakehead Committee is the protest against POSAP. However, if the strikes affecting the new Science Complex and the residences are not settled soon, there may be a more immediate need for the tents in September. L.U.

The Academic Committee will soon present this recommendation to the A.M.S. as one of its chief programs for the coming year. In order to facilitate the administration's adoption of the plan the Academic Committee will suggest that the AMS give the administration up to $2000 to alleviate the cost of such a program. It is hoped that this will be the first part of a two-staged ~tudent-adm"inistration program in Canadian Indian Affairs. If th~ administration should adopt the proposal, the student council will establish a fund totalling $2000 for living expenses for any Indian student wishing to come to Lakehead University in order to participate in such a course.

Tamblyn announced recently that a unique three year diploma program orientated toward the pulp and paper industry will be offered at Lakehead University starting this fall. The program is the cumulation of three years of planning and study in coopera tion with the Education Committee lof the Canadian Pulp and Paper Association and Northwestern Ontario Mill personnel. The initial study was undertaken by Mr. A. Bruley, lecturer in Chemical Engineering at the university. Mr. Bruley's survey indicated ·a strong demand in the Canadian Pulp and Paper industry for both diploma and degree chemical engineering graduates with a background in paper technology. Recent surveys by the Association of Professional Engineers of Ont- ario and similar groups in the · United States also indicated similar trends, but stressed the need for diploma or technology, level engineering skills. Lakehead University's program is intended to fill this need. Offered as an option in Chemical Engineering Technology, the programme provides job opportunities for the graduate in many other chemical and process industries. Entrance requirements for the programme are normally from the Ontario grade 12 level of the five year academic stream. The program will develop the student's ability to apply engineering, scientific, business and professional concepts to trade·, industry, commerce or ~roduction operations in their chosen field.

Unfortunately, it may be construed by many local residents that Mr. Anderson is repre.sentative of the climate of opinion in the University. He seems to have the type of destructive personality which believes that the foundation of society must be destroyed and complete anarchy ensue before anything worthwhile can be built. We all know the structure of society is imperfect & probably people like Mr. Anderson serve a useful purpose by chipping off some of the ~i:&Rm THE GRADUAL CHANGE - Kalid Ali With their "LOVE-INS", "BE-INS", and "FREE LOVE;', the flower children are trying to infuse an atmosphere of cordiality into our "ice-cold" society. How successful are these people in their methods? Objectively speaking, their ideas would be more readily accepted if they were to re-assess their own pos- ition. There is a kind of conformity within their clan. Old clothes, long hair and beards are nothing to be ashamed of for they help to establish one's own individuality. However, stronger emphasis should be placed on hygiene. The flower children must state their goals more explicitly. Although their philosophy has been basically LOVE it is fast being over-shadowed by the taking of LSD and the smoking of pot. They must boot out the black sheep who are helping ruin the living reality that the group started out as. Whatever their shortcomings, the flower children are telling us that a change is desperately needed within this "sick" society of ours where all good thoughts & ideals have given way to selfishness & where MAN has placed himself in such an insecure position due to the technological advances of our age. What a refreshing sight it is to see a group of God's loving creatures surrounded with beautiful flowers, singing songs and reading poetry. North American Society is undergoing a gradual change. Whether this change will have a lasting effect, only time will tell. The people responsible fcx: bringing about this change are looked upon with scorn & contempt by our socalled decent citizens. These nonconformists are easily distinguishable by their long hair and "scruffy" ~lothin . They are the "hippies~• or flower6 children". I much prefer the latter term because of the sentimental connotation it has for me. The flower children are fed up with society's values. They are disgusted JULY 19TH with its rigid structure. They are sick of our emphasis on materialistic values. Most of us are so involved in the perpetual money-making & statusoriented existence that we have forgotten human & compassionate values. The flower children are protesting against the smug minority which rules our society. A small group of capitalists have a firm & unyielding grip on the entire economy. They perpetuate the bureaucracy in our society. As far as jobs are concerned, the old cliche of "not what you know, but who you know" still applies. With their non-conforming attitudes, the flower children are endeavouring to point out the ill-doings of our "sane" society. Our society is becoming more and more impersonal. Individual values have overcome the values of the group. This has led to one of the truest maxims of our time: the "dog-eat-dog" attitude exhibited in every phase of our culture. The flower children are denouncing the prostitution carried on by many groups and organizations. So many people go to church for the sole reason of attracting attention, not caring about what the minister is saying The churches too are gradually moving away from their basic philosophy of helping others, and are being engulfed in a materialistic web. The flower children are calling marriage an out - dated institution. The actions of the marital society have proven this, statistically & otherwise. They are trying to tell us how wrong it is for one to be discriminated against· because of the colour of one's skin. Above all, they are showing us the wrongness of intruding into one's land, pretending to carry on a war for the upkeep of democracy, while in truth fighting for economic survival. They are giving us hope that the change needed so badly is slowly but surely coming. I personally believe that these flower children in years to come will be accredited for causing the greatest social upheaval of our age. manners' unnecessary decorations but, luckily, society rests on foundations which are not going to be rocked by Mr. Anderson and his friends. He pours scorn on Lord Caradon, his immature mind unable to appreciate the subtle way which Lord Caradon's speech was appropriate to his audience. I wonder how much Mr. Anderson has done to further the peace in the world? Maybe Caradon is doing everything wrong, but at least he is doing something. Mr. Anderson finds kneeling to the Chancellor repugnant. The idea of any person being superior to one in age, intellect, or status is too much for him to swallow. It should be pointed out to him that attendance at the ceremony is not compulsory; neither, for that matter, is attendance at the University compulsory, especially for anyone not wishing to obtain a degree It is a pity that the vast majority of students in this university are single minded in wanting to work for a degree which will be of sufficiently high standard to mean something when they receive it and they are not too proud to kneel on that occasion. They are too busy with the disciplin ed work involved in this to have time to argue with the bizarre views expressed by a few of their more idle colleagues. It is hoped that in the future they will be able to spare a little time to combat some of the destructive nonsense bandied in the pages -o f the ARGUS to work together with the majority of the Faculty and Administration to produce a University with sound academic standing, which makes a positive contribution to the locality, this province, this country, and the world. Then, in twenty years time they will be able to stand up proudly and say that their degree came from Lakehead University. Yours sincerely, Joan M.

It is unfortunate that the Co~ittee of Presidents of Universities of Ontario has resorted to publishing propaganda attacks_ such as Student Participation in University Government instead of starting the slow painful dialogue with students. This dialogue must come. Why -ean:':t we begin now? A careful look at this ..document reveals that its purpose is " .•.•• to place the matter of the universities' basic goals". This quotation if found in the Forward of the pamphlet and reveals a gross misunderstanding of the students' pbsition. Students are saying "We want a hand in determining what the basic goals of the university should be". On page . two, the University Government is given its statement of purpose which is " ..• to produce the enviroment where central intellectual functions of the university take , II place. Yet a growing number of talented .young people are "dropping out" of the university community ·· becaase they find their intellectual development hampered at every turn by reams of paperwork and obscure assignments. The arguement that faculty members, or worse, administrators, are able to determine what produces intellectual growth are belied by the statements of their students. "How was class today? Oh, he droned on and on , but , I got a wink from that cute chick in the second row." "What did he say l would be on the exam?" "He said to know the material between pages 461 and 530." "Why did you take that course?" "It's a bird course." Can I do a paper on this?" "No, that material comes in 4x7 next term." If the university is geared to intellectual pursuits why all this? Perhaps it's the students. Careful, that way leads to heresy. On page six of is a paragraph -length: Student Participation which I will quote at I It is important to note that the main assumption here is that the community of scholars will perfonn its function better if it is reorganized on pblitical lines It is not now a political institution. The analogy with political institutions of the state is faculty because the university does not support itself by levying taxes on it members, and the right ·of the citizen to be represented on the body that disposes revenues does not apply. In law, a 11 right 11 involves a remedy i.e., a means of redress if .the privilege in question is denied; obviou~ ly there is at the present time D..Q_ such thing as ~ students I right to representation in university government. The paragraph just quoted is an exercise in word play. Would its ~uthors care to assume that the organization of the university should be modeled after that of Canada, the U.S.A., or perhaps Greece? Further, they would suggest that welfare recipients should not have a say in their own lives because they don !~t make substantial contributions. Perhaps, all those countries the U.S.A. supports should not have self government because of American dollars. In getting to the heart of the matter, it seems that many of our administrators are like colonial masters. "These • savages," they say, "are not ready for seJ.f government. On page eight the text becomes a little clearer on the question of democracy when it warns that "The introduction of the full apparatus of democracy into organizations which have primary goals other than the maintainance of order wil~ bring with it the process of compromise and the likelihood of mediocre decisions and performance." It's hard to understand who this statement is written for. Surely, no one in the Univer~ sity community. Excellence is compromised every day while mediocre decisions are not infrequent. Is it the assumption that the introduction o·f students into the process will make t~ings worse? How can that be when the students receive the brunt of the blunders now? We are asked to submit to the authority of scholarship which has, we are told, nothing to do with majority votes. Students are telling us, however, that they are receiving mediocracy now and that if they participate scholarship will ipcrease -- not The University Presidents' Committee goes on to point out that if the student radicals persist in their demands"•• there would be little hope of such representation improving the operation of the university if it were forcibly imposed with legacy of mistrust that would inevitably re~ sult." This anger and mistrust (exaggerated and threatened), which hovers in the wind, is nothing to the anger and mistrust growing daily on our campuses while current conditions prevail. In defence o\ their position, the Presidents' Committee quotes the Duff Berdahl Report. This fact alone should alert faculty membe~s to the orientation of the Committee. James Duff and Robert O. Berdahl also feel that the faculty should remain at home and mind the stove. Perhaps a fitting close to this critique of Student Participation in University Government is found in the words on page eighteen of the report: Openess as an absolute principle could lead to abuses just as unsavoury as those associated with secrecy, e.g., the justification of bugging devices and surr:ptitious tape-recording, leading to the negation of individual freedom of -speech and thought reminisent of 1984.

As a 1968 graduate of U.C.L.A., Don's primary work will be as System Analyst in the Computer Centre on campus. Don will aid any aspiring track men in his free time. Don was a graduate of P.A.C.I. and he went on to U.C.L.A. mainly because California is the hot bed of track in the States and Don showed plenty . of promise as a high school athlete here. U.C.L.A. offered good training facil- ities, excellent coaches, and fine weather to enable Don to train hard. As far as leadership goes, Don captained the Canadian track team at the Pan Am games last year. He was also captain of the U.C.L.A. track team. When in the Lakehead during the summer, Don puts his leadership to work coaching little league baseball in Port Arthur. Concerning his job as track coach, Don will be giving his free time to help local track people improve their cooch's corner - by Larry Hebert The big announcement of the past two weeks has been the appointment of Don Domansky as Track and Field coach at Lakehead University. Don is a well known Lakehead track man who dominated local high school track when he was at P.A.C.I. He then attended u.c.L.A. and has since proven himself as one of Canada's top track athletes. For more information on Don, see the article on him in this issue. ************************************* In the "What do L. U. athletes do during the summer" department, Roger ' ~-The Saint" Moore has once again distinguished himself by bashing out a home run. Gerry Kishi plays fastba11 for the Simpson Rockets of the Intermediate League, while John Schelling and Jim Sanderson toil for the Ukes. Both of the above mentioned also play football for the Mustangs. John Fallus also plays fastball for the Beach League down in old T.O. for the Travellers in the Commercial Fastball League while t,orne Gander worked for the Gateway Builders of the Senior Baseball League until he acce~ted a job down east. Ab Slivinski, another S.S. student, has been doing a great job on the golf links. Ab won the Chapples championship this year. Two of his closest competitors were Dick Battiston and Tony Marsonet, both from the L.U. golf team. ************************************* Two members of the Lakehead University faculty who are also basking in the sun at the local golf establishments are Mr. Crozier of the English Department & Dr. Hawton of the Chemistry Department. Dr. Hawton's wife of the Physics Department is not to be slighted, as she is one of the top local squash players. ************************************* Bill Shannon of- the Athletic Department returned recently from a trip to the Saskatchewan Roughriders Training Camp for Coaches. Bill coaches the .local entry in the Manitoba-Lakehead Senior Football League, and no doubt_ picked up some valuable tips for the forthcoming season. ************************************* Summer Students: Don't forget that the Athletic building is open from 8- 4 daily, and will be opened in theevenings as well if the demand is great enough. ***********~************************* Since the baseball season is well underway, I'm going way out on a limb ( ? ) and predicting Detroit and St. Lois in the World Series with St. Louis ending up with all the marbles in the fall. ************************************* One fact that was overlooked at the Athletic Banquet was that Rob Cameror was elected Honorary Captain of the Nor' Wester basketball team foT the past season. Rob certainly deserved it for all his hard work and his fighting unselfish spirit. It is rumoured that a few of the girls from Nursing Degree were so thrilled with Rob's party during the year that they decided (Jan and Sue) to help swing the vote for his election as Honorary Captain. ************************************* The recent appearance of Ed Feignor, the King and his Court, gave local fastball fans a chance to see the diamond's sreatest _pitcher. Ed puts on a great show and is a great hit witfi Peter Young and the youngsters & Ed even invited him out to bat during the game, but he declined. (Ed. - Pete is a real glove man anyway. In the Intermediate Fastball League, he is known as "Brooks" Young or the Human Vacuum Cleaner.) style and he will also program conditioning exercises for those who wish to stay in shape. He says that the hardest part of training is the psychological barrier getting by the first 6 weeks. Don says that the human body can take the punishment, but the mind must also be conquered. While at U.C.L.A., Don developed i~t9 a world renowned 440 yd. man and 400 metres, the Olympic distance. He holds the u.c.L.A. 400 metre record and helped break the 400 yd. relay records. He is part of the 400 y1. relay team which holds the world record 39.6. Don holds the Canadian Open record in the 440 yd. and 400 metre events. Don won mecals in the British Commonwealth games in Jamaica and in the 1967 Pan American.games. Because of all these competitions, Don h'15 not only met a lot of interesting people but has travelled to many cities in North America and has had to turn down trips to Trinidad and Russia for lack of time. The hope of Don, like that of every other amateur athlete, is to take part in the Olympics. His vear-round training, at least five day~ a week, will receive its ultimate test in the 1968 Olympics later this year in Mexico City. Don is optimistic about his chances and the Canadian team's as a whole. Don will continue his training after the 1968 Olympics, hoping to make the 1972 squad so he can visit Germany. Don feels that the altitude in Mexico City will not bother him too much unless he runs several 400 metre qualifying events in one day. In the next few weeks, Don will be travelling to Toronto, and then on to Europe for track meets in preparation for the Olympics. Lakehead University is proud to have such a distinguished Canadian athlete on the staff. ************************************* Well friends, Owen Marks has done it again. As mentioned in the first paper, Owen invented a baseball game. Now he has decided to tape these games for you, the listening audience. A meeting of business and religious heads (''heads"?!?) in the Twin Cities has refused to give their permission for Owen to play the tape over the sound system of the University Centre lounge because of some crude language. By the way, Owen's record now stands at 131 losses out of 132 games played. ************************************* And finally, for all you car fans, Jim Johnston's II Green Hornet" is ready to rol again after having an overhaul.
