Centrefold Beethoven in town ................ 10 Publishing profs .................... 11 THUNDER BAY, ONTARIO VOL. 7. NO. 5 MAY 1990 The year was 1971 . Smiling in the back row from left to right are Allan Smith, Peter Dick, Jack Lavender, Doug Meyers and Dave Weldon, members of the first graduating class in chemical engineering technology. Reliable sources have identified faculty in the front row as Peter Levis, Albert Bruley and Bob Rosehart. If it's true that Dr. Gary Locker has invited every LU engineering grad to come to Homecoming '90, you can be certain that many more wonderful photographs will surface as alumni return to campus and start "remembering when". A most prestigious group of Canadians will receive honorary degrees from Lakehead University on Saturday, May 26, 1990. The group is comprised of a learned mathematician listed in the Who's Who of American Women, a foreign service officer who became Ambassador to the United States, the man referred to as "Canada's greatest design talent'', the first North American Indian to become a symphonic conductor and composer and a geology professor, currently the Dean of Arts and Science at Western, but primarily renowned for his passionate concern for environmental issues. Especially noteworthy is the fact that three of the five honorary recipients and both nominees for Fellow of the University were born and raised in Thunder Bay! To learn a little more about this year's distinguished Convocation guests turn to pages 8 and 9. �Report From the President Dr. Bob Rosehart OPERATING BUDGET With so much good news emanating from the Provincial Government these days, it is hard to believe why so many colleges and universities continue to struggle with budgets. It boils down to arithmetic. We still can't seem to make real grant increases of 2-3% deal with a real world inflationary economy. However, the University's budget is now nearly completed, and it will be a balanced budget. Necessary budget savings will be secured mainly by leaving open or deferring several approved positions. Until the Province tells the universities where we are going with respect to the corridor adjustment process, this seems the most prudent course of action. All areas will feel the pinch, and I have been impressed, to date, with the co-operative approach taken by the various budget centres. BUILDING UPDATE After some delays, the Regional Education/Student Centre project has been publicly tendered, and the project cost will be known on May 29, 1990 (fingers crossed!). CHINA 1990 Last year a six-person delegation from Lakehead University embarked on a visit to China. The re-scheduled trip (now down to four members) has just been successfully completed. The group included myself, Dr. R. Sweet, Education, Dr. D. Kemp, Geography, and Dr. G. Kondor of Economics. As we were being hosted and accommodated by our Chinese university counterparts, we got a very good look at what life in China today is all about, the good and the bad, and I think that all of the Lakehead University group found the experience to be fascinating. We spent two in Beijing. H you every get a chance to visit Beijing, you will find it very interesting and worthwhile, but it is not particularly rep.:... resentative of China. It 8,. g;0 is, I would suggest, a ~ ; ; very extensive show~ ~ case to the world. v~lt J\l~~ I will start my diary Page 2 with a one-day stop in Hong Kong where I visited with the Government of Ontario office. It was this office last year that provided us with a lot of logistical support. While there, I had an opportunity to talk with Benny Ng who is the Manager of China for Ontario. Benny had some interesting insights into the current situation in China which I found to be very accurate. The Government of Ontario office in Hong Kong has volunteered to let Lakehead University use their conference room to host a Lakehead University Alumni Reception during the coming year. While in Hong Kong, I vistied the office of the Thunder Bay Economic Development Corporation. Hong Kong has become a focal point for local economic development initiatives. Unfortunately, in listening to some of the discussions dealing with investment, education, and immigration policies, Australia seems to be far more aggressive than Canada. Although I would not say that our image is as negative as England's with respect to immigration policy, it seems to be moving in that direction very quickly. Hong Kong, in spite of 1997, seems to continue to boom. It has to be the most extreme example of the free market competitive system anywhere in the world. After meeting Dr. Kemp and Dr. Sweet at the Hong Kong Airport, we proceeded to travel to Shanghai. Well, almost! They gave away our tickets. After much noise, Robert Sweet got on standby and the airline put Dave Kemp and I up for the night at the Airport Hotel. Twenty four hours later, we made it to Shanghai. We were greeted by our hosts from Nanjing, taken to a local hotel, slept for one hour, taken to the train station, slept for a further one hour on a bench, then departed at 2:00 a.m. for a five and one-half hour multistop train ride to Nanjing. This was an experience that I could write more about but, suffice it to say, upon arrival in Nanjing, I had already succumbed to the Shanghai ''bug". After a one and one-half hour rest, we formally started our two-day visit to Nanjing, a city of two million people with over a million bicycles - not many cars, but those that do exist seem to be constantly blowing their horns at bicycles. All during our ten days in China, we constantly expected to be involved in an accident. We visited Nanjing Forestry University, Nanjing Normal University, and Southeast University. Our Lakehead University promotional video dubbed in Chinese made our presentation easy. The Chinese were very impressed with Bob Angeli's effort. All of these institutions are comprehensive universities (of sorts) and were quite impressive. Lakehead University has an exchange agreement with Nanjing Forestry University, and they have had several Lakehead University professors visit. In fact, later this month, Rick Rollins from Outdoor Recreation is to visit to give guest lectures. Nanjing Normal University was very interesting and an institution that would be open to developing tics with Lakehead University. Dr. Sweet could hardly believe that they have some 5,000 education students (at 2 Bill's, this would be considered a university president's utopia in Ontario). The Province of Ontario is formally twinned with Jiangsu Province of China (which includes Nanjing), and the Ontario/ Jiangsu Educational program has offered Lakehead University the possibility of a three-year block funding program to further encourage our interactions with Nanjing universities. While in Nanjing, we also visited the Jiangsu/Ontario Science and Technology Centre. This group of about 15 staff is jointly funded by Ontario and the Province of Jiangsu to promote links between the provinces. The Director, Ms. Yang Rui, suggested that future Lakehead University visitors to Nanjing might make use of their (fine) office facilities. Well, we have been here two days (of ten), it is Friday night, more good Chinese food on the University campus, and my cold is getting worse. Saturday morning we are up at some ridiculous hour to go back to the train station to travel back to Shanghai where, on Sunday morning early, we catch a non-stop (at least we prayed that would be the case) China Air flight to Harbin. Harbin is 1,300 km. north of Beijing and might be considered the Thunder Bay of China, although it has about four million people. Up to this point, as well as having a fairly open and unrestricted look at Chinese life (Shanghai, for example, has 12 million people - half of the popula!il~r, of Canada), we also had the oppnti:ni~y to observe the very ev.:ter.sive (~.1d impressive) farmit;g in foe rural area.

The undergraduate engineering project report entitled:" A Hexagon Grid Method Determining Runoff Hydrographs" prepared by Perry Peterson under the faculty supervision of Dr. U. Panu was awarded first prize in the Computer Applications Division of the CSCE. Another engineering project report entitled: "Black River Project Proposal for Water Power Rights" prepared by Louie Recd under the faculty supervision of Dr. M. Oostcrvcld was awarded third prize in the Hydrotcchnical Division of the CSCE. This is the first time that two Lakchcad Engineering students have been honoured in the National Competition. The ability of Lakchcad Engineering students to attract National recognition and acclaim reflect on the quality of teaching and research at the school of engineering at Lakehcad University. THE ONTARIO HISTORICAL SOCIETY HERITAGE GROUPS AND LACAC MEETING AND WORKSHOP On Saturday, April 7, 1990, The Ontario Historical Society and the Thunder Bay LACAC presented a workshop for heritage groups and Local Architectural Conservation Advisory Committees (LACACs) in the district of Thunder Bay. At Cornwall Campus, the one-day workshop included sessions on "Built Heritage: Architecture in Northern Ontario", "Laying a Good Foundation: Researching Fundamentals", "Getting Council on Your Side"," An Overview of Ministry of Culture and Communications Heritage Grants", and a session on "Everything You Wanted to Know But Were Afraid To Ask!". The workshop, supported by the Ministry of Culture and Communications, (the Honourable Christine E. Hart, Minister), is one of a series of more than 20 programs taking place throughout the province designed to provide an opportunity for interaction between heritage organizations and LACACs, and to bring together experts in the field of preservation. HEART TO HEART The Heart to Heart program has ended its fall and spring sessions thanks May 1990 Professor Yves Prevost, School of Forestry, was interviewed by Canada AM on the subject "Earthworms as a source of human food" which was broadcast live / ; on Wednesday April 4, 1990. The interest for this subject was sparked by controversy / around Ottawa region kindergarten /.a where students learning about nutrition / were fed earthworms. The first some / parents heard about this project was through a "certificate of congratula- ' tions for eating worms" given to some accomplished children. Parents were sent a note by the school, but obviously some notes did not make it home and parents who were unaware of the activity were upset. Dr. Prevost was asked to comment on the value of consuming earthworms, where to get them and how to prepare them. (Yes, I consumed an earthworm for the nation to see that earthworms arc OK to eat," he confessed. to volunteers from the University. Heart to Heart is an educational and support program for individuals and their families who are recovering from heart disease. Professors R. Kirk-Gardner (Nursing), N. Lavoie (Physical Education), K. Allen (Psychology), and L. Kennelly (Nursing) volunteered their time and expertise to fill this need in the community. HOW ABOUT SIBERIA? Tyumcn University in the USSR has agreed to accept two Lakehead students at the undergraduate or graduate level for the fall term 1990 (September to December). The students participating in the exchange will pay their regular'tuition at Lakchcad. No tuition fees will be required by Tyumen. Tyumen will provide ground transportation from the point of entry, a room in a student residence or other suitable accommodation, meals and a modest living allowance. Students could be in virtually any area of study. The precise details of the area and nature of study will bearranged between Tyumcn and the students' Department and Dean. A knowledge of Russian would not be necessary for some areas but would be for others. Tyumen University has about 5000 students and a wide range of disciplines. The Rector of the University has spent a few years in the United States and has visited Lakehcad. A large number of the faculty members and students speak English. Tyumen is located in western Siberia about 300 km east of Sverdlovsk and the Ural mountains. It has a population of over 350,000. It was the first Russian city in Siberia and was founded in 1586 on the location of the Tartar city of Chingi-Tur. It was the centre of the early Russian colonization of Siberia. Tyumen's climate is very similar to that of Thunder Bay. The region has a significant oil industry and there arc wood processing plants, chemical plants, engineering works and food and other light industries in Tyumen. Any student who is interested should contact Dr. Paul Watts, Director of the Centre for Northern Studies, as soon as possible. Each student should be prepared to provide a brief resume and statement of area of interest for transmittal to Tyumen. Mr. Dan Pakulak, Director of Continuing Education has recently visited Tyumen and would be happy to speak with any interested student about the university and the city. OFF TO CHINA David Epp, a graduate student in Forestry, will be the first student to participate in the exchange between Lakchcad University and China. He will attend North East University in Harbin for six months. Epp will continue his research on young conifer plantations at China's third largest university, which is devoted entirely to the study of forestry. . . to ~ $ ~ ~ ' ~ '<veil 1u1,\'> A G O R A - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Page3 �HIGHER EDUCATION FUNDING ACROSS CANADA Chairs of Boards of Canadian Universities strongly urged that Federal and Provincial Governments live up to their obligations to provide proper financial support to higher education. Political rhetoric from first ministers and ministers of finance across Canada does not satisfy the needs of universities as they attempt to offer qualified students in Canada the best possible higher education. This statement was endorsed at the annual meeting of board chairs and secretaries from all ten provinces held in Victoria from April 8 to 10. Canadian university chairs agreed that in response to government underfunding, universities will have to continue tough expense control measures which jeopardize the quality of higher education in Canada. There was consensus that boards should consider such revenue generating measures as enhanced fund raising efforts, auxilliary fees within individual institutions and tuition fee increases. However, provincial government funding and federal governments, through transfer payments, must not be allowed to shrink the budgets of Canadian universities. The consequences will include our more promising students leaving Canada for their education and, more dangerously, our institutions of higher education will fail to recruit and keep the most talented teachers, scholars and researchers. This is most critical ,at a time of faculty renewal programs that will occur across Canada during the 1990s. For all Canadians, higher education leads to a higher standard of living and is of direct benefit to Canada's economic competitiveness. Higher education is extremely competitive. In order for Canada to attract and graduate the best intellectual talents available in the world to ensure a prosperous future, our universities require greater financial support. Board chairs and their boards accept their obligation to develop public appreciation of the significance of higher education and will endeavour to make this communication activity a greater priority. Chief executives of Canada's universities need and deserve this support from their boards.All canadians, including students, must meet the increasing challenge of properly financing post-secondary education. Governments of the day must face up to the political reality of the consequence of not investing in higher education. AUCC NRC links Canadian researchers The National Research Council of Canada (NRC) has accepted a joint offer by the University of Toronto, IBM Canada and Integrated Network Services Inc. (INSINC) to develop a nation-wide computer communications network for Canadian researchers (NRNet). The high-speed date transmission network will incorporate the provincial research networks of British Columbia, Ontario, Quebec and Nova Scotia. The national network is expected to incorporate other provincial networks as they arc formed. NRNet will also be linked with research projects in the United States. The NRC, which initiated the project, will provide $2 million in venture capital over the next three years; over the same period, the regional networks are to contribute $1.5 million. The University of Toronto will supply staff time worth $300,000 and INSINC will give discounts on communications lines. Finally, IBM will provide $230,000 in hardware and operating system software. NRNet should start service in 1990. Forestry Students and Professors Recognized The Canadian Institute of Forestry presented 28 graduating degree students with silver rings on Saturday, March 10, 1990 at the Landmark Inn. The dinner/ dance was organized by LUFA and was attended by 130 people, including parents and friends of the graduates, faculty and staff of the school and CIF members. Mr. Ray Riley, Assistant Deputy Minister of Natural Resources for Northern Ontario gave an encouraging after dinner talk to the graduates.On March 17, 1990 nine Diploma graduates were presented with CIF lapel pins and the book entitled' A Vast and Magnificent Land'. Professor Donald Richardson was made honorary member of the 1990 graduating diploma class Brian Moore presented him with a copy of the book 'A Vast and Magnificent Land'. Dr. Yves Prevost made a special presentation to George Krupa for achieving the highest mark in Forest Entomology. The Northwestern Ontario section of the CIF annually presents a leadership award to a graduating student from both the diploma and degree programs. It is awarded to the student who has been voted by his/her peers as having contributed the most to promoting the school, the ,;.. 6 university and the profession during under'8-. . ~ graduate years by active participation and ~ • ; ; leadership in extra curricular activities and ~b ~ social events. Donna Myketa from the degree program and Brian Gauthier from the diploma program were the 1990 leadership redpients. The awards were presented to the students by Sarah Gooding, section treasurer of the CIF. ~ll JU-0\'.

Health and Welfare Canada matched the grant with an additional $70,000. The program was initiated four years ago and since then has helped prepare Native students for the fouryear nursing degree program at Lakehead . The program was set up to help Native people make the transition into a university setting. Out of the 36 students that have enrolled during the program's first three years, 27 have entered the four-year Bachelor of Nursing program. Since it's inception the program has been funded by Health and Welfare Canada but for some time additional funding for the Native Nurses Entry Program had been in jeopardy. 250 geologists meet in Thunder Bay The 36th annual meeting of the Institute on Lake Superior Geology I.L.S.G. will be held in Thunder Bay on May 9 -12. The inaugural meeting was held in 1955 in Minneapolis, MN. The Institutes are exemplary in their continuing objectives of dealing with those aspects of geology that arc related geographically to Lake Superior. The Institutes e~courage the discussion of research sub1ects and sponsor field trips bringing together geologists from the academic sector, government surveys, and industry. Thunder Bay was the site for the meeting in 1961, 1970 and 1977. About 250 geologists from Canada and the United States are expected to attend the 1990 meeting. More than 60 papers will be presented, some by graduate students. Field excursions include: 1) Lac des Illes area led by Richard Sutcliffe of the Ontario Geological Survey, Toronto. 2)Shebandowan area led by Maurice Lavigne and John Scott of the Ministry of Northern Development and Mines T.B. 3)Atikokan and vicinity led by Graham Borradaile, Department of Geology, Lakehead University_. . 4)Nipigon region led by Steve K1ssm, Department of Geology, Lakehead University. May 1990 Mark Wigmore, left, Medical Services Branch of Health an4 Welfare Canada, Nao_m_i Abotossaway, first-year nursing student (who says she aspires to ~e the future Minister of Health), and MPP Taras Kozyra, discuss the benefits of the Native Nurses Entry Program at the media conference. UMD Announces Canadian Studies Chair The University of Minnesota, Duluth (UMD), has received a $50,000 grant from the Canadian gove~ment, the first step toward the establishment of a $2 million endowed professorship in Canadian Studies. The announcement was made jointly by Douglas Nord, director of UMD's Royal D. Al worth, Jr. Institute for International Studies, and Brian Buckley, Canadian consul ge~eral:" The Canadian professorship will focus on contemporary issues concerning U.S.-Canadian relations," Nord said. ''These will deal with problems of the environment, economic development in the regions of Northern Minnesota and Northwest Ontario, and issues related to the Great Lakes, along with collaborative work between institutions of higher education--primarily UMD and Lakehead University in Thunder Bay," he added.Iain Angus, MP for Thunder Bay-Atikokan, and Geoffrey Weller, the Vice-President (Academic) at Lakehead University, were present at the ceremony at which the announcement of Canadian government support was made. Previously they had given their support to UMD's efforts and spoken of the value of the chair to Canada, to northwestern Ontario and to Lakehead University. They both stated that the chair will significantly enhance the links between the two universities (Lakehead and UMD) the two regions (northwestern Ontario and northern Minnesota) and the two cities of Thunder Bay and Duluth. The professorship, scheduled to be filled in the 1991 academic year, will be in the Institute for International Studies, and work in cooperation with the existing visiting professorship in Northern Circle Studies. Nord said the Canadian grant was an important first step, and is in part recognition for UMD's long-time commitment in promoting Canadian studies. The initial commitment toward the $2 million chair in Canadian studies will be followed by private donations, Nord said, and will be matched by $1 million from the University's annual fund.

Hugh, his wife Karen and their three children, live in Kakabeka. They have 11 acres of rolling hills and room enough to plant their own apple orchard. In his spare time, Hugh coaches little league baseball and enjoys snowmobiling and cross-country skiing on his property in the winter. . Denise Bruley has survived the "orientation phase" in the Information Office and just recently her colleagues discovered her secret. If her quick transition to reporter, public relations officer, special events coordinator, computer whiz, queen of fax and files is not due to her recent degree in political studies from LU, nor her experience at Parks and Rec, nor her travels in Europe, nor her extra curricular activities singing at weddings, or =====---_:::=== working on her French, then, what? Well, ifs simple. Although born in Thunder Bay and a graduate of Hammarskjold, Denise has been able to stay afloat in the often busy and always crazy Information Office because of her 6 year stint in Newfoundland! That is undoubtedly where she developed stamina, humour, a love of jigs and a flare for tall tales.

He is a Mohawk Indian who was born on the Kahnawake Reserve near Montreal. He began piano lessons at the age of eight and violin at the age of ten and was soon appearing on local television in Columbus, Ohio, where the family had moved. At the age of eighteen, Bell was the youngest professional conductor in the United States. He continued to study piano after receiving his Bachelor of Music from Ohio State and conducted more than thirty national tours and Broadway musicals. Other career highlights: founder and president of the Canadian Native Arts Foundation, a national organization which provides educational and professional development opportunities for Native youth in the arts; production of the first full scale Native contemporary ballet entitled, In the Land of Spirits , and writing original musical scores for film. John Kim Bell, 36, will receive his first Canadian honorary degree, Doctor of Music, at the morning convocation ceremony. was born in Port Arthur and educated at Central School, Port Arthur Collegiate Institute and the Port Arthur Technical and Commercial High School. A graduate of Queen's University (B.A. '37, M.A. '38) and Harvard (Ph.D. 1941), Dr. Agnew says her professional goal "was always to be an educator". Three years during World War II, as part of the Canadian branch of the atomic research effort, gave her good experience in the practical application of mathematics and thus began her distinguished career. From 1956-1984 she was a professor at Oklahoma State University. Her work with graduate students in number theory led to the publication of Explorations in Number Theory (Brooks/Cole, 1972). Ouimet Can yon is on the book cover which Dr. Agnew says "is symbolic of unsolved problems". Dr. Agnew co-authored another book in 1978 and is currently working on nine learning modules intended for use in high schools in Canada and the United States. Dr. Agnew will return to her birthplace to be honoured at the morning Convocation with a Doctor of Laws. Perhaps she will also have the opportunity to visit her summer home on Lake Superior which she refers to as "a small piece of Canadian land to which I can return for revitalization". :0 ~ $. 0\ ':"< ~ ¢' '<veil J\J~"' DEREK BURNEY was born in Fort William, Ontario.

Perhaps the citation for the 1986 Gold Medal from the Amercian Institute of Architects best summarizes this phenomenal Canadian: "Global architect, passionate advocate of cultural awareness, and fervent explorer of human and natural environments, whose buildings, though remarkably di verse, share deep respect for context, incomparable freshness and grace, and the dramatic use of space and light." Arthur Erickson was born in 1924 in Vancouver and was educated at the University of British Columbia and McGill. He first became enthralled with architecture after reading an article in FORTUNE magazine on Frank LLoyd Wright's Taliesin West. Erickson has designed many outstanding projects including the Courthouse and Provincial Offices in Vancouver, the Canadian Pavilion at Expo 70 in Osaka, Simon Fraser University, University of Lethbridge. the Canadian Embassy in Washington and to our utter amazement, the Ministry of Colleges and Universities building under construction in Th under Bay! honoured as a Fellow for his outstanding contribution to university and community. Born and educated in Thunder Bay, he received his Electrical Engineering degree from the University of Manitoba in 1946. Mr. Halter joined the C. D. Howe Company as design engineer and eventually became President and Chief Engineer and Senior VicePresident and Director of all of the C. D. Howe Group of Companies including its overseas branches. His main fields of expertise involve dock and harbour installations and bulk material handling in virtually every port in Canada as well as some overseas. Mr. Halter was Past-Chairman of the Board of Governors of Lakehead University where he served for fifteen years; Past-President of the Board of Governors of McKellar General Hospital; Past President of the Consulting Engineers of Ontario; and Past-Director of the Thunder Bay Chamber of Commerce and also PastDirector of the Ontario Chamber of Commerce. Mr. Halter has been twice honoured by the Association of Professional Engineers of Ontario for outstanding service to his profession. He received the distinction of Fellow of the Engineering Institute of Canada in 1987 in recognition of his excellence in engineering and for services rendered to his profession and society. honoured with the 1989 Lakehead University Alumni Award. Mrs. Miller graduated from Lakehead University in 1969, with a Bachelor of Arts degree (Philosophy) and was the recipient of the Chancellor's Medal. She is a dedicated patron of the arts, particularly theatre gifted as a Director, actress and member of the Ontario Arts Council. Always concerned with the well being of the individual and the community, the name Dusty Miller has become synonymous with social justice, whether at the helm as Mayor of the City of Thunder Bay (1978-1980) or active Alderwoman from 1974-78, and 1984present or concerned citizen through her many memberships. Mrs. Miller provided much of the leadership and energy to develop the Alumni Association into an active and productive organization. She currently represents the City onthe Lakehead University Board of Governors. Dusty Miller, described as a woman "radiating warmth and understanding of people" is a most worthy alumna for this award. - ~ $. ~ ~ ....0'I ~ "<ve1t_ JU~~ �Ludwig Van Beethoven returned from the dead to perform with the Psychology professor Ken Allan, delighted school children from St. Thunder Bay Symphony Orchestra at the Community Auditorium on Pius with his performance.

It was not until my second year at university, when I decided to major in philosophy, that I even heard about him. Then I overheard various aunts and uncles whispering in sympathetic tones to my parents, saying such things about me as: "He seems to be turning out like uncle Crawford" or "isn't it too bad that he takes after uncle Crawford". Volume Two of the The Frye Library of Canadian Philosophy was recently published, under the general editorship of Dr. Douglas Rabb, professor of philosophy at Lakehead. Entitled "The Christian Cosmology of Crawford-Frost" the book deals with early Canadian philosopher William Crawford-Frost, a subject close to Dr. Rabb's heart. When Dr. Rabb originally approached the publishers, his idea was to write a book on Crawford-Frost. The publisher felt the book may not sell on its own, but as part of a series on Canadian philosophers, it would be marketable. Out of this sprang the Frye Library of Canadian Philosophy. "Perhaps philosophy is part of a genetic inheritance", he mused. Rabb became interested in Crawford-Frost when he discovered one of his books in an attic in a family home. He was instantly intrigued with the eccentricities of the man. Crawford-Frost published two major books, "Old Dogma and New Light" and ''The Philosophy of Integration". Both attempt to reconcile Christian belief in creation with the theory of evolution which Rabb critiques in his book. CrawfordFrost was also an amateur inventor who claimed to have invented the first bag-suspended military gas mask. The patent was purchased by the British military and used in WWI. "The Christian Cosmology of Crawford-Frost" and volume one of the Frye series, "Religion and Science in Early Canada" are available in the LU Bookstore. Book began as PhD thesis The book by Dr. Mike Richardson, professor of English, "Astrological Symbolism in Spenser's The Shepheardes Calender: The Cultural Background of a Literary Text" has been published by The Edwin Mellen Press and is available in the Bookstore. The book, which deals exclusively with Edmund Spenser's work "The Shepheardes Calender", is largely intended for university libraries, said Dr. Richardson. Dr. Richardson began the work on his book in 1975. "Originally it was my PhD thesis but I changed and added to it, eventually incorporating it into a book". Richardson did virtually all of his research for the book at the Lakehead University library. "They have an excellent series of microfilm on Early English books from 1470-1640. I went through 1600 reels of microfilm". He also used extensively another series of facsimile reprints called the English Experience which numbers 900 volumes. The library has all of them. According to Dr. Richardson, "the book tests the hypothesis that Edmund Spenser (1522-1599), without devising birth charts for his characters, fashioned the twelve eclogues that com- May 1990 prise his poem, The Shepheardes Calender, in accordance with the motifs, character types, and destinies that astrologers have traditionally attributed to the people born under the sign and plant governing each eclogue's month". Richardson is in the early stages with two other books, the first a handbook of Renaissance Astrology and the second, a book on British children's author Rosemary Sutcliff.

What's left is our wits." Thus visiting speaker Janet Halliwell justified the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council's current initiatives to create a better environment for scientific research personnel. Executive Director of the Grants Program, Halliwell administers two thirds of NSERC's money. Despite a persistent prejudice that technology is the author of our problems rather than the solution, Ottawa has recently come to recognize how far behind Canada is in terms of research and development, Ms Halliwell said, and it faces many problems in catching up. She provided statistics to show how career prospects in R&D are shrinking; how professors in the natural sciences and engineering are aging, and positions opened by retirements are not being filled; how Canada lags behind Japan in the percentage of R&D personnel in its labour force (by a factor of 13 to 8); how male enrolments in the sciences are declining, while female enrolments are not increasing enough to make up the loss. "Four hundred and seventy-six high school graduates are needed to produce one PhD," she said, and NSERC is trying to encourage potential scholars by increasing the number of Undergraduate Student Research Awards (USRAs), and by increasing stipends for post-graduate scholars. "Since the fertility rate in Canada is currently below the reproductive level," she argued, "we may need to reconsider our attitudes" toward the needs of women of child-bearing age who wish to pursue scientific careers. NSERC is responding to this pressure by creating 200 new USRAs for women, tenable in the first year of study; by instituting a new faculty recruitment program for women; by checking its guidelines for gender bias; and by allowing for deferred holding of scholarships for women of child-bearing age. Ms. Halliwell said NSERC is worried about the brain-drain - not just to the U.S.: "We've already seen Japan do some very active recruiting in Canada." And the U .K. has reversed its brain-drain, now that people are anxious to enter the new European Community. She quoted Northern Telecom's John Roth: "We need people who do not have a limited skill set, but have learned how to learn." May 1990 PRESIDENT'S REPORT continued from page 2 with the rest of the world post June 4, 1989, youth employment opp tuni . have become a serious concern. or ties . Well, back to Harbin. yve were given a very enthusiastic greeting at the airport by our hosts who included Mr. Pang, a former visitor to Lakehead University's English Department. As well as having three visiting professors from Harbin spend six months at Lakehead University, we have had graduate students from Northeast Forestry University and, this spring, one of our graduate students is going to Harbin for further graduate studies. At Harbin, they are very interested in furthering their connections with Lakehead University, but is clear that this will only be possible with significant financial support from CIDA. At this point in time, CIDA's China program seems somewhat in a state of limbo. • After four days in Harbin, we travelled by an impressive Russian-built China Air flight to Beijing and spent the final two days of our visit in the capital. The entire country is on a massive "greening" project and nowhere is this more evident than in Beijing where massive tree planting projects have been initiated. It is hard not to get caught up in the emotion of China, particularly when standing in Tiananmen Square, but it is far too easy to try and impose one's own values on others. Chia has major challenges in front of it. The benefits of industrialization are being negated to some extent by significant environmental problems. The challenges of a nation with 1.2 billion people are mind-boggling. However, change is in the air. "Free" markets are flourishing, and we ate in several private (vs. state) restaurants. Although China will never become a Hong Kong, serious efforts are being made to stimulate free enterprise and individual initiative. In time, I suspect that this will rapidly accelerate the social, economic and political reforms in this nation which are inevitable. It has now been about ten days of good Chinese food. I still have a bad cold (have even tried Chinese medicine), and we are all getting somewhat better at using chopsticks. Dr. Kondor is on food withdrawal and we break down and go for breakfast at an American hotel in Beijing. The food was probably not that good, but it was familiar. We took along our two translators and, after many days of hearing comments made about our use of chopsticks, it was indeed justice to see them handle a knife and fork. While in China, I met with some of our future graduate students and become a mail boy for the Registrar. These students are very excited about the possibility of studying in the west. A major problem will continue to be adequate funding. With foreign fees so high, the Canadian Embassy in China is getting very tough on giving students visas unless the students can demonstrate adequate financial support. It is somewhat staggering to realize that over 3/ 4 of the applications to all of our graduate programs are from China. I met some very impressive potential students in China who feel that a country as rich as Canada should help them. When you are in China and see the conditions and the challenges facing the people it is hard not to agree with them. On a personal basis, this trip has opened up my focus, and it is hard not to support further Canadian initiatives to help the underdeveloped countries of the world. For all of our problems at home, they seem somewhat pale in comparison.

The referendum followed a hard fought campaign between pro and anti- CU S forces on campus. One of the major boosts for the pro-CUS forces was the appearance of CUS Prec;identElect Martin Loney on Friday Feb. 14. Don Kossick, CUS fieldworker, also spent three days on campus co-ordinating discussions on CUS. The a •1-CUS forces were largely s ent until only a few days before the vote, when they launched a strong campaign based mainly on misrep• resentation of some CUS resolutions.

October 26, 1967 TWELVE PAGES Canadians protest Vietnam vvar cus chairman resigns • • ID protest October 20, 1967 Mr.P. A. Young, President, Alma Mater Society, Lakehead University. Sir: Kindly consider this my official, written , resignation from my position as member of the Alma Mater Society Council. I should like at this time to clarify several points concerning my resignation. First, I should like to emphasize that my decision to resign was consequent not solely upon the defeat of my motion at the October 18 Council meeting; on the contrary, it was the culmination of my dissatisfaction with many recent Council actions. I shall mention a number of these. • 1. There has been a tendency tecently towards secretcy within the A.M.S. Council; twice in eight days the Council has met in camera. Both times, the question discussed was one which involved the whole student body. Meetings in camera are completely contrary to the principle of open decision-making. 2. There is evidence of aphathy on the part of A.M.S. Councillors towards the student body. During the recent election "campaign" few candidates bothered to put up posters or in any other way announce , platforms and only six candidates bothered to appear at the "town hall" meeting. Does Council intend to represent student apathy with Council apathy? 3. The A.M.S. has mismanaged the current "confrontation" to a point of disaster. It is unwilling to take positive action where the rights of a small number of students have been directly infringed upon, and is willing to accept a settlement which was at best ambiguous, at worst an attempt to deceive. 4. The A.M.S. co·uncil has shown that it has already lost contact with the student body, and is therefore not truly representative of the student body. These points -- there are more -- are manifestations of a basic factor; the A.M.S. Council just does not know what student government is all about. At present, Council appears to see itself as a sort J:Jf social-finance committee. Matters· such as details of dances, petty expenditures, and so on. should be left to special subcommittees.

The Council's task should be to represent students in their fight for academic equality It should represent the student faction in the fight towards an academic community -- a "community of scholars". In these senses, the A.M.S. Council should be a policy-making and decision-making assembly. Instead of appointing a course-guide editor, Council should first discuss the desiribility of a course-guide -- it should hear representations from persons competent in relevant disciplines, such as psychology. In brief, the A.M.S. council is taking carefully considered (-lengthily considered) means to an-undefined end. An impossible situation. 1 am quite confident that this year's Council will continue to organize dances, argue points of order, back down when a stand has to be made, sell-out, vote five dollars here and ten dollars there .......... this is a tradition to which it a~parently must adhere. I cannot identify with such a body. Less can I be an. integral part of such a body. Hence my resignation. Sincerely, Roderick G. Phillips • Senate hears student grievances The Senate has officially cleared the programme of one third year student. At a specially called Senate meeting Friday, October 20, students were ·invited to present their grievances to Lakehead's academic Supreme Court. Reportedly, behind the doors of the closed meeting, only one such petition to the Senate was received at that time. A notice on the bulletin board outside the President's office stated that students should have their petitions in to the Secretary of the Senate before 3:00 Friday afternoon. When Senate met, at 4:00 they had received only one s~ch petition, and this was presented by the Secretary: However, at the AMS meeting Wednesday, October 18, a resolution was passed stating that students should present their petitions to the Senate personally. Another facet of the resolution passed by the AMS Council, that of a guarantee that registration in the fall of 1968 would be more organized than that of this year, has not as yet been acted on. A sub-committee of the University Committee was formed to look into this specific question. And the most important aspect of the past three weeks is still a dream in the minds of students. Students were not allowed into the Senate meeting to present their own cases. Nor were reporters allowed into the meeting. Mr. T. w. Page Professor Trevor Page died October 22 as the result of a fire in his home. Born October · 15, 1914, in Victoria, B.C., J?rofessor Page graduated from the University of Idaho with his Bachelor of Science in Geology and Engineering in 1940. Mr. Page joined the faculty of the Lakehead College of Arts, Science and Technology in 1950, after 10 years experience in Canadian industry as a Mining and Consulting Engineer. A member of the Association o f Professional Engineers of Ontario, and the Canadian Institute of Mining and Metalwrgy, Mr. Page received a research grant in 1961 from the Geological Survey of _Canada and submitted a paper on "Pro - Glacial Lakeshores North of Lake Superior." He later submitted a paper on "Deglaciation of Northern ·Lake Superior'' in 1964. Professor P a g e also served with the Civilian Branch of the RCAF as a surveyorfrom 1941-42. He later· worked with de Havilland Aircraft of Canada as a Tool Design Supervisor.

This is the theme suggested for a proposed symposium to be held at Lakehead the first weekend in January. Vice President Bill Weiler introduced this topic to Council at its regular meeting, October 18. The idea for the syposium was suggested to the AMS by a Sociology professor, Dr. Asimi. The professor also indicated that he would be interested in helping to set the symposium up. The format of the syposium would be similar in many respects to the seminar held at UBC this past summer. However, it is hoped that powers restored to it. said Mr. Phillips, it is unable to vote on any matters. This would negate all of this year's resolutions. President Peter Young replied to the point of order by stating that precedent had been set in previous years allowing Council to assume power as soon as it is elected. TREASURER'S REPORT The Treasurer's Report was to have been presented at this meeting, however Don Lees was unable to do so. Council was assw:ed that the report would be ready for distribution by Wednesday, October 24. Mr. Lees also noted that the auditor's statement from last year will finally be released to students after the weekend. Last year's Treasurer, Ron Hider, asked that the statement be held back until he had had time to gather comments of it from lru.t year's Council. The remaining AMS committees were appointed at this meeting. The complete list of committees appears on Page 2 of this issue. AMS S£MIHAR President Young announced to Council the agenda for the AMS seminar to be held October 21 at the University. The primary purpose fol· the seminar is to acquaint AMS councillors with their University's structure and Owen Marks it would not be a restatement of that conference. Proposed plans include invitations to Ontario and Manitoba Universities. Various government bodies will be approached for grants to help finance this symposium. LEGITIMACY QUESTIONED Before the meeting was underway, the Council's legitimacy was challenged by CUS Chairman Rod Phillips. Mr. Phillips contended that the preceedings this year so far have been unconstitu-· tional, since the executive did not vote powers back to the Council. The motion giving the Council power originated from Julie Wierzbicki, Arts representative. Until the Council has any A WOMAN'S student government operation. Discussions are to be led by present and past AMS executive me,nbers. Board of Trustees members will be also be in attendance. It is hoped that the Council will be able to operate more smoothly and efficiently after this seminar. Unfortunately: neither time nor space allow the seminar to be opened to all students. It was suggested that plans be put in operation to sponsor a ..similar seminar for the student body. But nothing further was said concerning this matter. Peter Young, Pres. Council meetings approached by students with regard to Dinner Dances. There is a rather long lapse between the last Dinner Dance and the Science Dinner Dance slated for the end of November. It was therefore proposed that the AMS sponsor a dance 1n between these two dates. Council gave its approval to this idea, since the Science Society felt their function would not suffer from an added dance. are open to all students. VIOLINIST TO APPEAR A celebrated concert violinist from the faculty of Music at the University 9f Toronto will perform on campus October 31, _in a noon-hour concert sponsored by the AMS. Financial backing was requested of Council. The question of tickets for students and for the Lakehead community was raised, but Vice President Bill Weiler stated that this concert was one of the few cultural events to reach the campus, and as such should be free to students. Mr. Weiler added that the noon hour con'--ert would not attract the public because of its time. BANK ACCOUNT TRANSFERRED Treasurer Lees received Council's permission to transfer the AMS bank account from Royal Trust to the Bank of Montreal. The account now stands at $1200. Mr. Lees pointed out that no loss in interest rates will be incurred. DINNER DANCE President Y o u n g Council that he had NUMBER 32 Number 32 came up near P. Paulerinne, A1'ts Pres. , B.

When is a representative not a representative? Bert Bauman, Chief Justice of the AMS provided one answer at a council meeting last Wed. night. Fearless future leader Bauman cri~d painfully, "We are the representatives of the students and you are students. Tell us what to do." He was addressing a group of students who had sat in on the meeting in the hope of forcing council to re-evaluate their l)osition on Pres. Tamblyh's speech. He has raised, (probably without realizing it, because council members don't realize very much,) a very important problem. What is a representative? It would be very easy to say that a representative is not a representative if he sits on AMS council but that would be simplifying an all too complicated issue. It would also be slurring the few members on council who are capable of individual thought and action. We are of course speaking of elected reprsentatives and our elected representatives in particular. To bgin with, a representative should never find it necessary to make the plea that Mr. Bauman did the other night. If a rep. finds himself in that position he has obviously lost all contact with his constituents and should properly resign. Members to .any elected body are generally chosen because the voters feel confident in their ability to do the job at hand. They except a rep. to put their interests forward whenever necessary and to always put them before his own. • A representative must be able to judge the demands of his electors and evaluate their pertin~ncy. He must then judge the demands of his electors and evaluate their pertinency. He must then judge whether these demands-are valid and if they are he is bound to act upon them or resign unless he can convince the people he represents that they are on the wrong track. This -is the trust placed in a representative and one which he takes as hls own when he is elected. When a rep. :fmds that he is completely out of touch with the thinking of his electors he ceases to function as a worthwhile spokesman and should in all good conscience stand down. The members of the present AMS council cannot honestly deny that they are now in this position. As yet their integrity . is not at question and it can still be assumed that they acted in what they felt was the proper way. That they were wrong is something they have yet to learn. They must also learn that elecion does not endow the elected with any supernatural insight. The AMS is apparently incapable of understanding. 'the persistence of their electors in pressing for a solution. They are also incapable of discerning the principal involved in the present difficulty with the AMS and the Admin. They have, in fact, lost touch with the student body and therefore no longer have any right to speak for them. This council by its actions on Monday last and by its refusal to remedy those actions Wed. night has relinquished any claim to the legitimacy that such a remedy could nave given them. The job of any representative is often a thankless one and more often than not one of sheer hard work. Did this council believe anything else when it stood for election? Did this council feel that they could keep the plebs happy with the bread and circuses of dances and social activities. If so then this council must be reminded that it didn't work for Rome either. -bh. - - . - --- ... ·- -. - , ,. Dear Sir: In reply to Mr. Yuan's reply to my reply to his article The Sun is Set (ARGUS, September 18) may I ask Mr. Yuan if he is in the pay of the propaganda division of some western power or if he is grossly misinformed? My first point was that Mao spent eight years in p o s t secondary institutes studying so much that he had little time to write letters of dubious validity. Secondly, Mr. Yuhan characteristically flies in tne face of fact when he claims that Mao was no poet. If he had ever entered a good book store he would have seen Mao's "non-existent" poetry translated and criticized by such noted scholars as White and Payne. Thirdly, if Mr. Yuan ever compared the progressiveness and puritanism of Red China to the filth, degradation, poverty and starvation which bolsters up the rich of Hong Kong, Formosa or Taiwan, I think he might adapt some of his opinions to truth. Patrick O'Neill AMS Farce Dear Sir: I..ast night, Oct. 18, I attended my first A.M.S. Council Meeting at Lakehead University. I must say I was amazed at the maturity of the counsellors. They discussed at great length such important matters as where they will obtain a combination double - reverse - bottle holder; dripper - and - jiggerfixer; yet when it came to a trivial item, e.g. students problems arising from the registration mix-up, our illus• trious treasurer, Mr. Lees, moved that the discussion be limited to only one-half hour. Our council members behaved as responsible representatives of the students, They did not sweat, ridicule or question the intelligence of one another "very much." They all have read Robert's Rules of Order (which) they follow to the "t") from cover to cover and did not have to waste valuable time arguing over whether or not a person was speaking ou.t of ordel', making a motion out of order, or voting out of order. It was great to s~ . -. . - . that the executive could conduct an orderly mt!eting. The council members all showed themselves to be men and women of conviction and principles. They were not afraid to stand up for what they believed as long as they could vote on a secret ballot so that the students present would nc,t know how they voted. I am very proud of them. They try very hard to understand. Now I know why the A.M.S. council meetings are not advertised to the general student body. By the way, did vou know that all students ~an attend the meetings? Although I was greatly disillusioned and disappointed, I feel that the sad state of our A.M.S. cannot be entirely blamed on the council members. We, the student body, must realize that if we do~ not make known to our representatives, either before the meeting or during the meeting, any problems we may feel need attention, they will continue to spend their time discussing dances, parties, dinners, etc. What else do they have to discuss? If you have a complaint bring it to the A.M.S. executive or members and pressure them to do something about it. But you cannot leave it at that. You, too, must show you interest and concern. ·fhis you can do by attending the meetings, requesting the minutes from the A.M.S. offices, and asking questions. We all know that any government wol'ks best when under pressure and opposition. Although we must not think of ourselves as opposers of the A.M.S. council we must still oppose and question any actions or non-actions that we do not agree with. It is about time the student body got off their fat derrieres, rid themselves· of the apathetic attitude and took an interest in their world. In faith, Eleanor Pentick.

However, I believe that he dealt with the subject in too general a manner. In this article I would like to try to elaborate on some of the points h·e made and also to give my views as to why I am a firm believer that examinations, in some courses, offered at the university level should be scrapped. • Here I wi:U try to deal primarily with examinations at the University level. While I think that the educational systems in Public School and High School level need to be revised, I don't believe that written examinations should be eliminated altogether. It is the only criterion to judge one's ability at an early age. Some of the people that are attending universities will be the leaders of tomorrow. Don't you think that university life should prepare one for such leadership? If the answer is yes, then the next logical question will be: Is the present educational system, as set up by universities, geared toward such preparation? I will not answer that question as yet. I will present my argwnent and hope that you will come to the same conclusion as I do at the end. Since I know nothing about the Sciences courses, I want to state emphatically that I will be deciling with the Arts courses. When I use the word examinations I want it to be noted that I mean "the Christmas Examinations" and "the Final Examinations." The foreign languages, will have to be tested in a written manner. However subjects as English, History, Political Science, Sociology, - to mention a few - should be .approached in a different manner.· The idea of Professors giving lectures and students copying down is too old fashioned, in my way of thinking. The students at the university level, should participate more in the courses in which they enrolled. This participation can be achieve<! more forcefully by replacing the written examinations with written research papers or essays. Ths is my method. Take a history cla~ of one hundred students. The cJass could be divided into four groups of 25 students. Each group is given a specific topic to w.i'ite on, The length of- the essay should be left to the discretion of the professor concerned. If a student does not like the topic he has to write, he can always interchange mutually with another student. When the essays have been corrected, Group A can exchange essays with Group B. Group C and D can do likewise. Seminars and discussions can then be followed with the professor giving constructive comments from time to time. In this way students would be able to learn more, because the four topics will be read by each student. This method I feel can be applied successfully to the other subjects, with a few alterations here or there. My reason for condeming written examinations are these: a person may be a very brilliant student in class, but on the day of the examination, he may be a bit ill. If he writes the paper and makes a po:>r mark, is it fair that he should be judged by that mark? Then again some of us with the fear that the examination is the end of it all, becomes psychologically upset and do badly in our tests, Again, some of us study by the process of elimination, we may study c:;nscientiously most of our work and just scan through a few things we may think unimportant, These very unimportant things .may come on the tests. Some other people may study just a few topics and leave out the majority of the work. They may be very lucky, for exactly what they studied may appear on the examination. Eliminate the written examinations, and automatically the fear and apathy among university students will be eliminaed. Most students nowadays are only concerned with coming to school for the sole purpose of passing an examination. This to my mind is a wrong attitude. My concept of university life, is that it is a place where one should be able to participate in all the different activities, as joining the various clubs and associations, and also the social and sporting fields. By so doing we will be able to develop our personality to such an extent, that when we leave the university, we will be better able to face the outside world.

The public opinion survey relating to the past provincial election was conducted Tuesday and Wednesday before the election throughout Port Arthur and Fort William ridings by Lakehead University Political Science Department lecturer Alan Alexander with the help of Professor Alan T. McEwen, Director of the Computor Centre. The poll was taken in a manner similar to the opinion polls which have become such an important part of modern elections all over the world, Mr. Alexander said that student volunteers took a scientific sampling of the new electoral roll. Four questions were asked relating to previous and future voting. Response sheets required no names and all responses were treated with the closest confidence. Mr. Alexander and Mr. McEwen studied the data and then interpreted the trend of opinion at that time. The results of the survey showed that the Liberals would take the Port Arthur riding, but that the Conservatives would retain a majority in the provincial parliament. Mr. Alexander said "The role of the university is to help the community in which it is situated understand itself better." In commenting further, he said that "We hope that the people of the Lakehead will accept the study as being purely academk. Lt is not connected with any outside bodies such as political parties, news media, other polling organizations or groups of any kind." Mr. Alexander intends to do further in-depth study of the election results this fall. He will use the University's new IBM 360 model 40 Computer which will be installed later this month. Professor McEwen was formerly employed by the National Opinion Poll in England, and is an expert in this area of study. Violinist The Research Team .. Headed by A. Alexander(left) and T. McEwan (right) Hong Kong students swell enrolment figures An influx of students from a tiny riot-torn corner of the world 8,000 miles from the Lakehead, highlights enrollment figures released this week by Lakehead University registrar Donald Ayre. A total of 62 Chinese students from Hong Kong are included in a record enrollment of 1,618 students, up 32% from last year's figure of 1,221 full-time university and technology students. This fig1ue surpasses the predicted enrollment of 1,577. Another 716 students are taking part-time classes at the University, and increase o classes at the University, an increase of 33 1/3% from last year's figure of 537. Also, more than 250 students are enrolled in extension courses serving 17 communities in Northwestern Ontario. This brings the overall librarian E. Belton shows three Hong Kong students rare books in the library. total of degree or diploma students to more than 2,700. A marked increase is noted in the arts and science programs. Total registration this year is 1,061, up 41.5% from last year's figure of 750 students. The new figure includes the university's first graduate students, five in arts and two in science. The increase in the diploma programs is 15%, with 541 students registered against last year's figure of 471. The increase in Chinese students was a pleasant surprise for university officiais. Last year only 14 Hong Kong students were registered. It is, however, a typical story in universities across the country due largely to the recent riots in Hong Kong. The unstable situation at home has caused more and more students to study abroad. One student representative at Lakehead, Sze-Chung Yuan, estimated that more than 600 Hong Kong students would be studying in Canada this year and another 1,000 in the United States. Approximately 30,000 students graduate from the high school system in Hong Kong every year according to Mr. Yuan. The two universities in Hong Kong can take onla a limited number of the graduates and the remainder must go abroad if they wish to con- tinue their education. A select few, the very well-to-do, go t9 England. The rest go to Tiawan ln Nationalist China, Australia, the " United States and Canada. Why Canada and why Lakehead University? According to Mr. Yuan the Chinese students receive excellent help from the Canadian Immigration Office in Hong Kong. They obtain their visas in a reasonable period of time while students attempting to enter the United States have a great deal more difficulty. Also Canadian regulations make it much easier for foreign students to remain in Canada after they have completed their studies. Mr. Yuan said Chinese students believe that in smaller universities they will receive more individual attention tfrom he more individual attention from the professors. Also the admission requirements for Lakehead are more reasonable than some of the larger universities. The majority of students are sons and daughters of businessmen or administrative officials. Ironically they arrive i11 small groups of four or five and few actually knew any of the other Hong Kong students outside their own group. Only a handful were able to find accommodation in the small university residence. The rest are boarding in Lakehead homes or bunking together in apartments. They all speak English and, according to Mr. Yuan, had no trouble in adjusting to life in the Lakehead. The students are all members of the Chinese Students Association which was formed at Lakehead unlversity last year to help make the newcomers feel more at home. Their first outing was last saturday when more than 60 students were guests of the University President, Dr. w. G. Tamblyn at his summer residence at Lambert Island. • ID A celebrated Israeli violinist, Lorand Fenyves, will present a noon-hour concert at Lakehead University Tuesday, October 31. A professor of music at the University of Toronto, Mr. Fenyves boasts many first performances of contemporary works and is therefore equally at home in both the standard and contemporary violin repertoire. After studying in Budapest, Mr. Fenyves started his concert career at the age of 13 in Budapest and Vienna. After numerous concert appearances throughout Ewrope, he joinecl the Israeli Philharmonic Orchestra as concert-master, founded the Israeli String Quartet and was co-founder of the Israeli Academy of Music in Tel Aviv. During this period, Mr. Fenyves appeared. as soloist with the Israeli Philharmonic in over one hundred concerts in Israel and throughout the Middle East. Concert Ftom 1957 to 1965, Mr. Fenyves performed with orchestras and in recital continually in Switzerland, Italy France, Germany, and England. Heavy as this schedule may appear to a lessor artist, Mr. Fenyves managed to combine it with his duties as concert-master of L'Orcestre da la Suisse Romande, and Professor of Master Classes at the Geneva Conservatory of Music where his pupils included European, American, Canadian, Japanese, and Israeli violinists. A violinist's violinist, a pioneer in the musical life of Israel and one of Europe's leading violin teachers and performers, his distinguished European reputation preceded his North American debut in Toronto recently where he received unanimous acclaim from public and press alike. Lakehead University students will have the opportunity to hear this great artist Tuesday, October 31, in the noon-hour concert in the theatre.

They can never happen, it goes on, where the people are actively engaged in defending their rights and participating in the process of government. This participation includes making their wishes known to the elected leaders of their government. One of the cornerstones of a democratic country we are told is the right to free assembly. Here endeth the fairy tale, kiddies. ln Oakland, California on Oct. 18, clubswinging police broke up the kindergarten class in a testament to their own efficiency.. PROTEST AT B·ERKELEY Upwards of 500 people gathered on the Berkeley campus to demonstrate against draft policies and later assembled in front of the Northern California Induction Center to take the protest to the front lines. No doubt it was a noisy, boistrous crowd, and probably many were more than a little looped. This cannot in any way be used as an excuse for what followed. They were first warned that they were assembled illegally and were then ordered to disperse. How is it possible in the "Land of the Free" to be assembled illegally? How is it possible in a country which is supposedly the bullwark of democracy to be ordered to disperse? Listen to District Attorney Cecil Poole and he'll tell you: "The law is not going to lie down and not do its job because 3000 or 4000 people are opposed to war." LAW STOOD UP The law didn't lie down for very long as it took only 10 minutes of clubbing, kicking and beating to clear the area. Maybe then they all went home, had a beer, and watched Combat for kicks after a hard day's work. Well kiddies, maybe this sort of thing doesn't bother you any more. After all, it happens every day somewhere. The problem is that until recently it was happening only in those nasty Cammie countries and you can't expect them to know any better anyway. Make no mistake about it. This is no usual case of police brutality. These are the methods used by all the folk heros who have been periodically bothering the world since this species began. The bright lights of Germany, Spain and Italy used them in the thirties and the Russians improved on them. We sit here and lament the depths to which South American units sink in an effort to remain in power and sigh that we're glad we live here. California is only a few hours away. INSECURITY - THE CAUSE? The action of the police themselves is really not an issue although it is to be condemned. Such action is only the sigh of a deeper evil that is all too .prevalent in North America. When a State is so insecure as to find it necessary to resort to such tactics to support its authority and policies, that State is no longer representative of the people for whom it is set up. The fact that the anti-draft movement is a vociferous one is of little consequence either. If you have been reading your "Child's Garden of Democratic Verse" you will have noticed that it is always referred to as the "right" of free assembly. Right means something that cannot legally be taken away. Perhaps the Superior Court should deliver a paper to the International Court -of Justice explaining why the freedom of assembly is no longer right but a privilege whose use rests on the whims of the group in power. They might also explain what other outmoded concepts the democracies should rid themselves of in order to better adjust to the way things really a-re.

In explanation of this resolution, Board of Trustees member Wayne Tocheri said "The main reason why I introduced party politics in our AMS government is for g r e a t e r sophistication in governing." In rebutal of this resdlution, Gerry Hees, Board of Trustees member, said "As I see it, parties are to speed up political process. But in our situation, it would boil down to political parties and we always voted against support for political parties in Council." "We could continually suffer under a party system," said Vice President Bill Weiler. "When the government changed hands between parties, new policies would undoubtedly follow.

The Director of Planning and Physical Plant, Mr. Claude Smith, described his function in this manner. "The Physical Plant consists of all the physical aspects of the univer~ity, the land, the buildings, the equipment, furniture, etc. The function of this department is to look after the operation of these assets.

When asked about the gravel promenade around the lawn, Mr. Smith replied that "the turn-around was put there to permit passengers and equipment to b~ unloaded <;1ose to the University Centre, rather than over m the parking lot.

The Melindra Singers, Bill and Ben Bogaardt, were born and raised in the Dutch East Indies (Java). They left several years ago just -before most Dutch citizens were deported by the Indonesian GovernmenL They then went to Holland for two years. Bill came to Canada in 1957 while Ben, who bad been serving in the Dutch Navy, followed him in 1961.

Canada may not be a major powerbut it is regarded. as a leader of the small countries in world politicis."

Canada however, must and is expanding culturally. People such as those in the CBC are beginning to give entertainers a chance." "People on committees and subcommittees often have the wrong idea about entertainers.

(CUP) - Acadia has dropped out of the Canadian Union of Students. Students voted more than 3 to 1 against continuing membership in the union in a referendum Monday. Just over 54 percent of the students voted. The referendum followed a council resolution three weeks earlier advocating immediate withdrawal In a dining hall speech at noon Monday student council president Bob Levy said "I feel that we have gained little in our association with CUS over the years and the fact that many of you ask what it is, is more than eloquent testimony to its irrelevance." CUS president-elect Peter Warrian, who -travelled to Acadia October 14 for the vote, said "One of the reasons the vote may have gone the way it did is people simply did not have information or familiarity with CUS." He said the council had made up its mind on CUS and seemed to be looking for a ratification of that decision. Of a total enrollment of 1,6~2 students, 905 cast ballots in the referendum. Of these, 287 voted for CUS, 618 against. Acadia is the first CUS member to withdraw since the London Congress last month. Friday Oct. 13 - University of Windsor students voted 576-552 in favour of the union. The University of British Columbia will hdld a similar referendum Nov. 1. Dictator High Schools blasted VANCOUVER {CUP) - The struggle for secondary school autonomy was given full support by the British Columbia Assembly of Students last week. "We condemn the present system of close censorship of high school newspapers and unill1teral attempts to shield students from ideas judged as detrimental to their character," the congress stated. The Assembly passed a resoluion seeking legal counsel about violations of the Federal Mails Act after it heard reports of school administrators who open student council mail and do not pass it on to students. A monthly newsletter to secondary schools and an education corps are both planned. The corps will encourage high school students to further their studies and assimilate and analyze secondary school problems. January was proclaimed BCAS Education Action Month, during which a brief outlining the assembly's priorities in education will be presented to B.C. Ml.As. Glendon gets five student reps TORO.l\1TO (CUP) - Students at York University's Glendon College will have five members on the faculty council of the oollege. The faculty council voted 25 - 3 to include students in their meeting of October 10. The decision must now be ratified by the York senate. Fonner Glendon student council vice-president Rick Schultz saw the decision as "a major step in involving the students in their own education," althought the students would not be allowed to take part in the council's committees. Schultz is the auihor c,f a b1'ef on student participation in university government. Student council will choose the representatives for this year only. A committee has been struck to investigate methods of choosing students in future. "Once the students have been chosen they will be completely independent", said student council president Alan Whitely,---------------- CUS emphasizes field work OTTAWA (CUP) - Every CUS campus will be visited by a field worker this year. CUS President High Armstrong said Tuesday this policy will help student government do more effectiv~ work on the problems of education. He said at least four of the eight members of the secretariat will be working on campu_c;es throughout the year. This new emphasis on field work reflects a demand by members for concentration by CUS on programs which are more relevant to campus problems. CUS field work will concentrate on the priotjties set down by the London Congress of CUS this September: Student awareness of their rights and responsibilities Quality of education at all levels Universal acc.-essibility to education Democratization of university government Other priorities such as CUS services, human rights (which includes international affairs), relations with other student and youth organizations, and taxation receive lower priority. . Armstrong said field will help cbmbat student council lethargy on many campuses. It will also mean every campus will receive aid to suit its particular and most vital needs. He said some campuses have the basic resources to carry out educational reform but others, mainly the smaller institutions, do not. This is where the field worker will help. So far members of the secretariat have visited student governments in the Maritimes, Ontario, Manitoba, Alberta, and British Columbia. lr - • • •• t .- - - ■ .:S - ■ 1• - - • - ■ I - - Page 9 Is Straight bust legal? - Justice Dohm ponders by Charlotte Haire, Vancouver (CUP) Mr. Justice Thomas Dohn of the B.C. supreme court Wednesday deferred judgment on an appllcation by the publishers of the Georgl.a Straight to have the suspension of their business licence declared unlawful. The newspaper's licence iwas suspended Thursday by city licence inspector Milt Harrell acting on the recommendation of Mayor Tom Campbell. John Laxton, lawyer for publishers Dan McLeod and Peter Hlookoff, sai4 the main Issue of the hearing was the power of municipal authorities to put people out of business, determine public morality and determine- freedom of the press. "Surely it cannot be possible that our laws allow businesses to be closed down without warning or an opportunity for the plaintiff to come before court and explain his case," said Laxton. "A trial could not be held until April or May of next year," he said. "In the meantime the Straight would ibe unable to publish." Laxton's argument in support of the injunction was that section 277 (c) of the city charter was invalid. "It is only the federal government which can legislate morality under criminal law," he said. Even granting that the province had the authority, he said, the arbitarary fashion of the licencing inspector was contrary to natural law. Laxton told the court the publishers of the newspaper had not been told why their licence was suspended and had not been given an op. portunity to state their case. Corporation counsel Russell Baker said If the newspaper's appeal was upheld it would mean every licence inspector in B.C. would not be sure what his powers were. Vancouver city council Tuesday endorsed seven to three the suspension of the Georgia Straight newspaper's business licence. Campbell claimed the paper was a ''filthy rag" and had seen sold to school children. Under city by-law, the licence inspector baa the right to suspend a business Ucence, but only city council may revoke lt. Alderman Harry Rankin, Ernie Broome and Peter Graham voted against the suspension. Endorsing it were Aid.

''These flower children turn flowers into stinkweed. "We must war against all .that is indecent." Campbell interjected that it is horrifying that there can be dissemination of vicious trash, which glorifies drug adiction and homosexuality. "And then we have other papers, like The Ubyssey, which states in its editorial of Sept. 29, 'Anyone who doubts the obscenity of this society need only watch its leaders in action any Tuesday in city hall's council chambers," said Campbell. Mrs. 0. V. Spaetgens of the Vancouver paretn-teachers' association and Mrs. Helen Boyce of the :Vancouver local council of women congratulated the mayor on the suspension. "Yes," said Rankin, "it is no longer safe to walk in Kitsilano: It might have ·something to do ·wtth the miserable housing conditions and slums, and the landlords who are making a fat profit by packing 20 people into a house. "This is the kind of issue council should be debating. Leave obscenity to the crlmlnal courts." Alderman Ernie Broome asked Campbell why the obscenity charge was not dealt within criminal court. "We didn't feel there was enough ground for an obscenity charge," said Campbell. ---------~-------1111111---· THIS AD CAN SAVE YOU Vietnam equated to Quebec MONTREAL (CUP) union generale des diants du Quebec has pared the struggle in Nam to the struggle for dom in Quebec. anne Linnell, Ed Sweeney, Tom Alsbury, Earle Adams, Hugh Bird and Campbell.

Ken has taken a job with radio station CJOE in London where he will be Sports director and public relations officer for the station, His wife, Margaret, has taken a job at the N.E.S. office in London after being transferred from the local branch. One of the reasons that Ken was hesitant about leaving the Lakehead was that he and his wife both being local residents, had several relatives in the area. Ken has had a long and varied casting background. He began by doing play-by-play accounts of Selkirk High School football games back in 1961. Next he became a parttime broadcaster for CJLX working with the Sports Director Jack Thompson. When Jack left, Ken became sports director where he remained until transferring to CKPR where he was sports director for radio and television. Ken's biggest thrill in broadcasting was the presentation to him of the Guy Perciante Memorial Trophy award annually to the local sports media personel who gives outstanding service in promoting youth athletics. Also through broadcasting, Ken has managed to see much of the country while travelling with local teams. Many local organizations have presented bim with plaques for his service in helping to promote thei'l"' sport. On his final day in the Lakehead, a giant stag was given in his honour. Ken hopes that by going down east, he will have a better chance of landing a job in pro-hockey, ... .. t ..•• either as a public rela-tions man or a broadcaster. As sports editor -of the Argus I feel that 'the Friar' has done more for the promotion of sports in the Lakehead than any other man. Ken was always willing to promote minor league sports such as little league baseball in which I had my closest contact with him. He gave new organizations such as the two local senior fastball leagues needed publicity while they were .in the growing stages. On the other hand, Ken was not afraid to speak out against the establishment. His many critical editorials, occasionally reprimanded athletes for unsportsmanlike conduct or criticized league officials for their lack of initiative such as the absence of lights at the Fort William Stadium. Yes friends, the "Friar" was a tru~ sportsman throughout. I wish him the best of luck in future endeavors. While Ken leaves us, "Jovial" Jack Sandberg appears on the scene to take his place.

Rookies D on Pellegrino, Richard Tapak, and Dave Nuttal, former area junior stars, should fit into the Nor'Wester's hustling style of play.

To understand the reason for the Cultural Revolution it is necessary to understand the Chinese Communists' concept of revolution - what one might call the concept of the "evolution of revolution". Briefly, the main stages of this evolution are the gaining of political power, the transformation of the economy, and the transformation of men's minds. The first two stages have been completed, and the final consolidation of the revolution depends on the completion of the last stage - the Cultural Revolution. This takes the form of the virtual worship of the writings of Mao Tse-Tung, and the suppression of all thought, ideals, and attitudes which are considered 'bourgeois', 'reactionary', or 'decadent'. There is a widespread belief that that which is called the 'Cultural Revolution' is in actual fact a struggle far succession. This does come into it, but not in the way is a means of ensuring purity of thought in the coming generation, so that the revolution will be perpetuated and society will not fall back to pre-revolutionary ideals.

Buildings will accomoc!ate climatic factors as well as landscape. Ushaped, construction will surround a 5-acre artificial lake, to be formed by the darning of the McIntyre River. This body of water will provide a focal point comparable to the mountains of Simon Fraser University. The lake will inevitably be used by students for skating and swimming, and a sand beach might even be considered! HUGE CENTENNIAL COMPLEX The $13,000,000 Centennial Complex, will be the major single edifice. This one building will cost 250% more than the total cost of all present structures. Increased facilities for students such as lounges, residences, and cafeterias will be another feature. Architects Fairfield and Dubois have designed such famous sites as the Shakespearean Theatre in Stratford, Ontario, as well as the Ontario pavilion at Expo '67. Although all final plans are not as yet complete, some construction will commence almost immediately; the field house is anticipated to be finished next September. Ground will be broken early in the new year for the Science building. _ Already there are rumors of a 3-storey addition to the library. PRESIDENT TAMBLYN LAUDED Thrilling as these details may be, many individuals will scoff at the plans, feeling that expenditures are mere frills. But even these people will admit that increased facilities will attract both students and faculty to Lakehead University. Much credit must be bestowed on President W. G. Tamblyn. In his year and a half here, he has converted ours from a small college to a great university complex. His thinking has been on a grand scale when such ideas were very much needed. We thank you, sir, for giving us a university. THE ARGUS NEEDS YOU We have received many comments on the first edition of the ARGUS, and fortunately most of them have been complimentary. Thanks to the student body a great future now seems assured. To assume a position of respect in the small circle of Canadian University newspapers, high literary and editorial standards must be maintained. So far, in our short • term of existence as a unit, we have been very pleased with the quality of material that has been forwarded to us. Unfortunately, the quantity has been small. We need material from you, the student body, and we assure any writers that their .efforts will be received with appreciation. You have no idea of the amount of work that was done in the ARGUS office to attaln the present format. Last year's paper was sadly lacking in scope and size. This year we decided to set as our goal the bi-monthly publication of an eight-page edition, on par with any campus paper in Canada. The amount of work that had to be done in revamping the whole set-up was incredible. However, the jobs all found willing workers--not many, mind you--but willing. There is now talk of increasing the size to a twelve-page edition. But this is only a plan for the future. We hope that the present will be successful enough to warrant a future. ■ In this way is the Cultural Revolution a struggle for succession. But what of the most obvious manifeStations of the Cultural Revolution? What of the changes in the Communisthierarchy, of the Red Guards, for example? The changes in leadership circles can, I think, be attributed to the general purposes of the Cultural Revolution - that is to say that those who can be guaranteed to carry on the revolution most strongly will be placed above the rest. This accounts for the emergence of Lin Piao as second only to Mao himself in the government. The Red Guards are an unknownquantity. They have been depicted by the Western press as hooligans, and by the Chinese as little more than enthusiastic Boy Scouts. ·Since the initial rash, horror stories of the Red Guards' activities have all but disappeared from the pages of our press, and one must conclude the excesses were due to early enthusiasm. This, of course, is no excuse. In fact, the idea that anyone, whatever his motive or ideal, can enter and search at will the homes of citizens, is repugnant to anyone who values thefreedom of the individual. These are the conclusions I draw from the facts available. The Cultural Revolution is by no means in sight, and the world will continue to watch carefully events in China. ■--IIIWIIIDIIIIIIIIIIJllllll■IIJ--llllfflffffllllmtmll11il&W-IIIIDIII-I NATIONAL AFFAIRS 1 YOUTH AND-PARTY POLITICS JACK LEMMON "Things have changed Someway, Today is no longer yesterday, Tomorrow is coming on Like the rising wind that's strong." (W .D., THE RISING WIND) In the 1960' s youth plays an important role in Canadian politics. The effect of thousands of youthful voters, born during the postwar baby boom, is having its effect on the old image of the political parties. These youngpeople, better educated and in a more favourable position to demand change, are making the old parties review their principles. It is estimated that in 10 years the majority of voters in Canada will be between 21 and 30. There is also a strong trend to lower the voting age to 18, thus throwing thousands more into the political arena. This onslaught has forced all the parties into a transitional period since the late '50's. "THINK YOUNG" has been the rallying cry of the·· politicians as elderly members are shuttled into the Old Folks'. Home of politics, the Senate. There are a few exceptions to this rule, evident to all, in the persons of Mr. Diefenbaker and Mr. Pearson, but there is a progressive desire in the air to retire these two. In the recent Liberal party convention Mr. Pearson had his position confirmed, but a motion was presented and ratified by the younger members of the party to the effect that, after every election, the leaders be re\tiewed at a party convention. This makes Mr. Pearson's role less static than he realized. Mr. Diefenbaker has to face a major conflict in the not too distant future, and I would not be surprised if there were a new leader of the P .C .' s in six months. The progressive increase of support for smaller parties, particularly the NDP, can also be traced in part to this youth trend. The appeal of these parties is primarily to the young voter fired with enthusiasm for ideals slightly left or right of the standard middle-of-the-road approach of the pre-60's Liberal and Progressive Conservative parties. This, however, has been a world trend and not entirely a Canadian one. As an example, the major middle-ofthe-road party in the U.K., the Whigs or Liberals, have been erased as a major for~e in British politics. In contrast to their big majority governments before the Second World War, they now hold 6 seats in a parliament of 650 seats. Contrary to what older supporters think of the young, there is no holding them back now. The confused generation, as the young are called, are not necessarily so, but could be described as the confusing generation as they move into the political scene with their newer ideals and vibrant energy. by Jack Lemmon u11111111111111m111111111111m-111111111••••■21111•••••••w--1111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111nn1111m1111111 LETTER TO THE EDITOR THE TUNNEL Sex fiends arise and help me fight the war on barreness. Some brave artist step forward and volunteer for active duty. Those barren tunnel walls should be alive with the fruit of the artist's brush. Can'tyoujust hear the hurrying, trembling footsteps towards the library if a 36-foot long Lady Godiva--with hair flying in the wind--was painted on the far tunnel wall? Or how about a sequence of Gypsy Rose Lee in her various stages of--how shall I say-undress? But seriously, don't you think that those tunnel walls should be some other colour than maiden white? So here is what I propose, and I hope you will all sup.. port me. We will get many pails of various colours of paint and have a paint-the-tunnel day where everyone brings a brush and slaps some paint on a part of the tunnel walls. In no time' at all we could have a modem mural which we could all be :Qroud of and say 'That's a part of me' -ugh! So write to 'THE GZORP' in care of the ARGUS and tell me if you support me or have any ideas. Read the bulletin boards in a week or two for further information rep.rding a 'paint-the-tunnel meeting.

Tamblyn today announced a $23,000,000 expansion program which will transform the present complex into a modern, 'campus in the round' built on the shores of a five-acre man-made lake. Work will begin this January. The majority of the construction will be completed by 1968. The announcement is the culmination of more than a year of intense study by university officials and planning experts. The development announced today is stage one in a three-stage program of university expansion up to the year 2010. This first stage covers the university's needs up to the 3,000 enrolment level. The development will involve the immediate addition of three storeys to the present library, a new athletic field house and the start on a 300-room residence. It is hoped that all three projects can be completed by September, 1967. The major showpiece in the new campus, a $12,000,000 Centennial Complex housing science, technology and ad.. ministration will be started next spring with a completion date of 1968. A rambling cafeteria and dining addition to the present University Centre and special alterations and changes for the present Academic Quadrangle will be started at the same time. A new academic building to be situated between the library and Oliver Road will be the final project in the first stage. Cost of the library addition is expected to be more than $1,200,000. The Field House will involve $750,000 for the initial building and a further $300,000 for an addition within the next few years. The residences will Competition Tough Rowers Impressive Peter Yovng The Lakehead University Nor' westers Rowing Club cut the first notch into their 1966-67 varsity athletic belt Oct. 22 with a strong showing in the Mid-American Collegiate Rowing Association Regatta in St. Paul, Minnesota. Competin~ under what was quoted as the worst water conditions in 20 years', mainly due to a 45mile-perhour wind, the two foot swells Lakehead oarsmen placed 2nd in the junior varsity eight and fourth in the senior varsity eight. In the first event of the day, the junior varsity, L.U. took an early lead and held it up until the 1500 metre mark. But it was St. Thomas College that crossed the finish line first with the Nor'wester shell half a boat length behind. University of Wisconsin placed third six lengths behind. Then in the senior varsity by a wellconditionedandorganized crew from the University of Minnesota virtually walked away from the rest of the pack to cover the 2000 metre course in just over six minutes. University of Wisconsin edged out St. Thomas College by an oar for second with Lakehead University right behind. Head coach Bob Browne stated his pride in the entire Nor'Wester crew, but especially Joe Roy, Tim Comishin, Tom Petrie, Bill Weller and cox Glen Miller, the five L.U. oarsmen who had to compete in both races. Both the University of Wisconsin and the University of Minnesota have student enrolments exceeding 35,0001 The entireNor'Westercontingent was made up of, coach Browne, _ Sameluk, McGregor, Petrie, Miller, Roy, Weller, Comishin, Ray Simpson, Eric Colquhoun, Jim Zatulsky, Roger Kowalchuk and Gordie Skinner. involve more than$2,500,000 and the University Centre addition will cost $1,200,000. More than $2,000,000 in science and technology equipment and furnishings are planned for the Centennial Complex, bringing the buildings' worth to more than $14,000,000. The remainder of the costs involve property, site development, equipment and special facilities. Governemtn grants cover from 50 to 85% of the building costs, depending on the type of projects. The university must supply the remainder. Architects for the project are the well-known Toronto firm of FairfieldandDubois, architects for such projects as The Stratford Shakespearian Festival Playhouse and the Ontario 'Expo' Pavilion for 1967. They are •presently working on finished designs for_ the individual buildings. Focal point of thenewcampus will be the large manmade lake which will be created by the damming of the McIntyre River. The lake will be functional as well as picturesque in that it will be used for skating and curling in the winter and swimming in the summer. The buildings form sheltered 'U' shaped designs around the lake with almost the entire campus connected by underground tunnels, designs especially suited for the northern winters. The buildings are mainly three and four storey structures to take advantage of the landscape and the spacious university property. Dr. Tan;iblyn stressed the university's concern for functional, economical beauty in design. 'We were most conscious of developing a functional design without the frills of some recent university projects across Canada,' he declared. 'But we were also aware of the needforbeauty, impression and lasting design that would make the people of Northwestern Ontario proud of their university today and in the years PAGE THREE to come. We have tried to develop both and I am pleased to say that I think this has been accomplished in this model. The lake will be a focal point allowing for dramatic and warming landscape development, functional recreational activity and a central core for university development.' The unprecedented enrolment in the past two years has necessitated the change in plans for the university library which was just officially opened this week. Originally scheduled for 1970, the addition has been moved ahead as 'the fastest logical way to provide essential space for classes and new faculty offices'. The addition will make the library a $2,700,000 six-storey building, the tallest on campus. The architects for this building were the Lakeheadfirm of Fraser, Mickelson and Brown. , ~-• laBinette k ~i=~~f~=m~~r■ this i~ lapinette. lapiltel;re is a yo:.!:1$ aru:i frisky frencli type of :bunny who deals with, the campu,$ branch, of -l;lt,e, .ba1t,k; l:>ank, halance. this is 1apittelite_., who ha-s su.dde.nLy learned the 1Jtean~ of the worci tlirift; this is Lat7inebt;e., wha has Just-aeclded -that' :bank. ·mana¢:'ers a-re .basically kin4 of khvi. you:, see, "h.e advi'3ed- lier ah,u,1, happy lappy clasps ~Dins closely !Ind T6e-,, '-ell me Gibson's a -r e pa-,,ing top dollar tor all trade-ins' • • • • That's only one of the reasons why NOBODY walks away from a Gibson Motors deal today.

They meet every Thursday evening at Selkirk from 7-9 p.m. by Larry Hebert By Peter Young WILL WE USE FIELD DOUSE? During the last two weeks I have been in consultation at different times with Athletic Coordinator Bill Shannon and S.A.S. president Chuck Sameluk and I have come to the conclusion that the students of ~Lakehead University do NOT want a field house on campus. Since the beginning of classes in September several groups in the University have emphatically spoken out in favour of a field house. In fact, one such group has gone as far as to circulate a petition, which by the way was signed by more than 500 students, stating that the great size of student enrolment at L.U. demands that we have a field house. But would the students of Lakehead University support the Athletic Department in their quest to find a •sport for every student and a student for every sport•. Where are the 500 people who signed that petition? Better still, where are the 1,000-students who fought their way through opening week dilemma all the way to the S.A.S. office to pick up the Olympus? If YOU won't support the wide variety of sports activities offered this year, how can you ever expect our administration to continue withfieldhouse plans. SOME ST ATISTICS For some of the skeptics who won'tbelievemy seemingly unpatriotic jargon, here are some actual statistics compiled qUite easily by the Athletic Department. Don't forget that all quoted figures are out of a total of 1,800 registered students. Thus far we have one person interested in volleyball, not enough for rugger, 14 who want to play intramural basketball which requires at least one team from each faculty, and four make-shift rag tag teams. We have also got 22 bowlers and at least 12 curlers. Everyone wants a pool in the field house and yet the pool facilities that we have access to at the YMCA are never utilized to even half their intended extent. And the first day of cheerleading practice looked impressive with about 20 girls attending but since then the record attendance has been four.

Bad for the heart, or something. However, people are so open-minded these days that you can recount the amor-0us adventures of one dedicated to the gratification of bored housewives and be accepted as an author of merit. This phenomenon has happened to Ste\'hen Vizinczey. His book 'In Praise of Older Women has three obvious qualities: freshness, as a twelve-year-old pimp would have; audacity, as a nineteenyear-old would have; trade-manual technique, as a thirtytwo-year-old professor would have. Yet one must suffer this flu<ttuating style in order to utilize the available meat in ViZmczey' s message, which is really a combined tribute to mature European women andpossibleplanof action for the younger male. But where is little sister while not-much-bigger brother is following Vizificzey's dictates! Developing muscles to shape and mould her growing body? Taking lessons from that willing father-of-five down the street? Probably the latter. (We all have equal rights, you know.) Such ideas as guidelines for youth are of dubious merit.

Firstly, the question of nurses' representation on council, and secondly, the councillors' lack of desire to participate in the sharing of responsibilities, according to this reporter, deserve attention and subsequent comment.

As the executive revealed, there would be only one vote for the three nursing representatives. At this time, two opposing views arise. Primarily, did the A.M.S. executive have the constitutional right to decide on what the conditions the nurses could obtain a vote before fhe officials presented the facts for discussion to the A.M.S.

Behan's purpose, however, was not to create a lengthy or complicated plot. It was simply to have a basis around which to develop the theme. Behan exploits two major themes. The first is a condemnation of people, being so possessed with an ideal that, in pursuing this ideal, they become oblivious to basic humanity. The second is that people in their normal living are above any abstractions imposed upon them by ethnic, political, chauvinistic, religious or ethical conditions. Along with all its complexities and humour this play was presented on October 13, 14, 15. In most aspects there were glimpses of real acting, making it difficult to see that it was performed by an amateur group. Pat, the caretaker (?) of the house, portrayed by Dr. Tom Miller, was acted with gusto. It was evident that the role was studied somewhat, be~ause Pat's part -involved more than just an uncouth Irish drunk.

This is only a sample of the comedy and wit which Behan has involved in the story of The Hostage. This, to the shocJc and amusement of the audience, was delivered by three obvious homosexuals. These men were only part of the residents of a contemporary whorehouse, which included a pimp, two prostitutes, a Russian sailor (client), a mad Colonel plus assor):ed displaced people. Behan uses circumstances to involve this seemingly weird assortment of characters il).to a tragi-comedy. A young Irish Republican soldier has been sentenced to hang for the murder of a Northern Irish policeman. In reprisal the I.R.A. has abducted a young Cockney soldier from a dance as a hostage.

From 8:00 p.m. BoardRoom time (7:42 Library; 12 noon Wing B; 8:12 Residence) until 11:20 Crest time various blather was belaboured ad nauseum. Some highlights of the meeting include: • Gross discussion resulted in 'up to $180' being pryed loose to send delegates from the Precambrian Club to a conference in Winnipeg. • An entirely pointless discussion was pursued pertaining to matters delegated (at length) to the residence and cafeteria food committees at a previous meeting. • The schools of nursing will likely be given three ex-officio voices on council with a combined vote of one. The uncharacteristic dispatch with which this item was carried can probably be explained by the unwritten 'nobody knocks nurses' hypothesis. Could the additional provision that each student nurse pay a $10.00 A.M.S. fee have had anything to do with the speed of this decision? (Ho-hum, another $1,200 in the surplus). • A report from the delegation to the China TeachIn was postponed until the next meeting.

McGovern was one of the late president's personal choices for a top administrative post, heading the important Food for Peace plan. In this post he travelled widely throughout South America and Asia and is now considered an expert and sharp critic of his own party's foreign policy. Senator McGovern was born in Avon, South Dakota, on July 19, 1922, the &Qn of a Meth()dist clergyman. After graduation from Dakota Wesleyan University, he earned his M.A. and Ph.D. in history and government from Northwestern University.

A professor of history and government at Dakota Wesleyan University, he was elected to the U. S. House of Representatives in 1956 and re-elected in 1958, serving as a member of the Committee on Education and Labor and the Committee on Agriculture. He was a u. S. delegate to the NA TO Parliamentarians Conference in 1958 and 1959. He was named Food for Peace Director and Special A.ssistant to President .(ennedy in January 1961. As a United States delegate to the United Nations Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) conference in 1961, McGovern made - the U.S. offer which led to the first World Food Program making Freedom from Hungeraninternational objective. He was elected to the U.s. Senate in 1962, the first Democrat to win a Senate post in South Dakota since 1936. He is a member of the Committee on Agriculture and ForestryandoftheCommittee on Interior and Insular Affairs.

Then one could conclude, as the article did with respect to the U.S., that L.U. is becoming •a militaristic police state•. Secondly, the article is self-contradictory, thanks both to the draft-dodger and Mr. Colbome. The draft-dodger asserts that he has no freedom. But he does not realize, obviously, that he has more freedom than many people dream of. He had the freedom to move out of his home state and study in Illinois; he had the freedom to defer his medical; he had the freedom to come to Canada, and in his own words, •encounter no trouble in crossing the border•. Added to this small list of freedoms mentioned in the article are hundreds of personal freedoms which make life enjoyable in a democratic society.

Act I, Scene I LETTER TO THE EDITOR PROTEST? -NEVER! �NOV. 11, 1966 THE ARGUS DAVIS' POSAP PAGE THREE - SCHMOSAP BY ROBERT MAIN I feel that Mr. Davis, the minister of education for Ontario, has made a farce of the term •student aid". The Province of Ontario Student Award Plan (P.O.S.A.P.)can only be termed a folly and an insult by anyone who has had the misfortune of dealing With it. • MEANS TEST To begin with, a student must submit himself and his parents to the embarrassment and ridicule of a "means test9. This test is an unjustifiable infringement of personal freedom. No matter how confidential the applications are, government has no right to expect answers to questions con..: cerning the personal expenses and debts of an aPplicant. Questions referring to medical expenses, bank accounts, pensions and other forms of income such as alimony are personal matters, not to be thrown open to the inspection of some official in Toronto. But in order for a student to qualify for this type of aid, the parents of the student must reveal their complete financial status •with regards to income, loans, medical expenses, estimated earnings, real estate, investments, savings and outstanding debts. This is no business of the Government of Ontario, "DA VIS FOLLY• Under the old system of type A and B bursaries, a needy student with a B a- verage could count on at least $250 aid. While this is obviously not enough for a year at university, it is by far better than the existing •Davis Folly9 P.o.S.A.P. Under this plan, a student receiving $250 aid would actually get only $40 in the form of a bursary. That is, the first $150 is loan while only 40% of the remainder is clear for the student. $5000 PER STUDENT Mr. Davis has been quoted as saying that the government has spent a quarter of a billion dollars in student aid to some 55,000 applicants. This comes out to about $5,000 per student. I would like to ask Mr. Davis what happened to the $4,940 he still owes me? As if P.O.S.A.P. isn't enough of a mockery of student aid, the applicant is expected to wait anywhere from six weeks to three months to receive word about his loan. What is a student in need of financial aid expected to do during this period of investigation by P .0.S.A.P.? The conditions are so bad at Ryerson Polytechnical Institute, that the Ryerson student council is forced to make short term loans to students awaiting word on their awards. On our own campus the situation is not quite as desperate, but many students will indeed feel the lack of funds if their loan applications are delayed much longer. Many are already finding it difficult to see where their rent for November is going to come from. There is no need for a delay in these loans. As it appears now, every application must go through one desk in Toronto. Mr. Davis has a billion dollar education budget and yet he can apparently afford only one man to process all the aPplications for loans. REGIONAL AID BUREAUS The Canadian Union of Students has stated that free education is the only answer to the manifold problems brought about by any student aid programme. While this is undoubtedly going to come about in the very near future, it does not solve the present difficulties. Universities still depend on tuition fees for a large part of their working budgets and until this can be rectified • with governmental aid to the university rather than to the student, the present problems will exist. It would seem a logical solution to the problem would be a decentralization of the present system. The province should be divided into sectors based on the number of students planning post-secondary school education. Each one of these sectors could then more effectively deal with all the aid which must now go through one office in Toronto. These regionalaid bureaus could deal on a personal basis with applicants for financial support and would effectively reduce the present means test and wai- ting period. The financial support for this type of system would come from the Federal Government, shifting a greater percentage of government revenues to the joint municipal and provincial governments. This would give each province the finances necessary for such a system. It would eliminate the present split of responsibility between the Federal and Provincial Governments in which each government claims the other is at fault for any mishandling of student aid. STUDENT VIEWS Much discussion and debating is presently going on in Toronto and Ottawa as to what is to become of postsecondary school education.· It is the responsibility of all students to express their views. Student apathy in the past has led to the situation which exists today. POSAP is clearly not the solution to the problem, and it's about time the students of Lakehead University forgot about their usual apathetic natures and expressed their views. MARKS ON EXPO Students interested in obtaining information DON'T KNOCK EXPO regarding post-graduate studies leading to the degree of Chartered Accountant are requested to contact:- BY OWEN MARKS Port Arthur, Some men take a bitter delight in being leaders of • ANTI• crusades. And it is common knowledge that any worth-while venture will be subjected unceasingly to petty criticism. Such is the plight of EXPO '67. Despite frantic assurances by EXPO officials that Canada's world fair will be Canada's, and not Quebec's, and not Montreal's, sourgrape critics have consistently attempted to portray a perverted impression that Ex;Po is a municipal undertaking (of course, the municipality in question being Montreal). One is unable to truly comprehend the reasoning .of these coneervat1ve, provincial and reactionary critics. Canada has always been subject to a withering plague of apathy. And usually the men who complain about this disinterest, are the cause of it. Locally, this same process is apparent. EXPO has been played down continuously by men in so-called responsible position. They scream to the masses, "Montreal is EXPO! Since EXPO is in French Canada, it is not a Canadian venture!• Surely these men realize that Montreal was the only Caoadian city willing to take on the burden of EXPO. If it were not for Montreal, there would be no EXPO for Canada in 1967. But why should some of our local factions persist in condemning the one great Canadian adventure of 1967? The only reason I am able to ascertain is that our business men are afraidoflosing tourist support (Montreal is 2,000 miles away). These men are willing to satisfy their own pocketbooks at the expense of the success of EXPO. A high ranking officer of EXPO once condemned the narrowness of the Fort William newspaper for its continuous, senseless harangue against EXPO. This man stated that 70% of Canada knew of EXPO and that if this local editor were to present the facts without bias, this percentage f~ re would surely be raised. Unfortunately, this Fort Williameditor has not heeded the request. EXPO will continue to be subject to ridicule in this area. But unless these short- sighted men begin to realize that •EXPO is worth all the problems it has, and that EXPO can be a beginning of a Canadian, and not American, orientated cul"ture, Canada will never be Canadian. r·ToYTt iRusi" 1 111 111 I= i ~ SETS THE PACE IN SAVINGS EARN 4½% OH = § i i: "PERSONALIZED SERVICE" Malces Tlte Diffeience I LIT DIIESSWBl TAD = CAIE OF All YOUI J ~:E DIY'al.ANING AND LAUNOIY NEEDS ••• Dreuwwl'• --,Oe plant can take ca,w of your hou9lhold or penonal ct.nlng end launderlftg fl'Obl-1 =- ,,. t:..·...~r-:..-.=.._,., DIIBIIIWIIU,'IJ .,_... llffllee ...... § i s I= Fort Williom, Tel. 623-3252 ; sSAVINGS ACCUMULATIONs s ACCOUNT ~ i Tel. 345-5417 F.

Budget Meeting. Perhaps the most interesting fact gleaned is that a deficit of approximately $2,817. exists. But as Mr. Hider pointed 01.1t there is no need to worry. Although the Council has alloted certain sums to clubs and organizations, experience shows that all the money will not be spent. Mr. Hider next presented a change in treasury ~licy. His motion read approximately: that the treasurer be instructed that no funds be allotted ... until a list of the executive members of the clubs and the executive members of the clubs and organizations is listed.• President Tocheri brought up the controversial subject of political parties on campus. Under his direction a Committee chaired by Jack Lemmon (Arts II) was established to investigate the feasibility of fund disbursements to such organizations. The Engineering and Technology Society Constitution was next on the agenda. Councillors decided that since they did not have an opportunity to scrutinize it and since they wanted the Chief Justice to review it, tabling the item momentarily would be most logical. Then Mr. Gerry Hashiguchi, 1966/67 yearbook organizer presented councillors with the pertinent data concerning the publication of the Nor•wester. This year, Mr. Hashiguchi would like to expand the yearbook from 112 pages to 160 as well as to increase the number of coloured photographs. The discussion, howerver, was not conclusive. But at any rate preparations for publication are underway. There were a number of other items on the agenda, but none that warrant serious notice.

CAGERS OPEN SCHEDULE By LARR\' HEBERT Wednesday November 3rd, saw the Lakehead University basketball team open its schedule with a 65-63 win against Dinty' s Kentuckians, last years Thunder Bay Senior Men's Champs. Don Holmstrom a rookie, with 23 points, Bob Elvin with 12 and Myron Warywoda with 11 paced the L.U. team. Bob Love turned in a solid performance for Dinty' s as did Ted Norland. All players in the starting lineup, Hol- mstrom, Elvin, Warywoda, George Kostyshyn and Moe Semenuik played their high school basketball at Fort William Collegiate. Coach Bruce Bristowe was pleased with his team's first outing. He stated that in this game he wanted to establish the team's patterns and get the many rookies orientated. In the game that followed the L.U. girls team went down to defeat 38-18 to C.K. P.R. Golden Tones. Rod Ferguson fired two rounds of 74 at Fort William Municipal Golf Course, and 77 at Strathcona in Port Arthur, to capture the L.U. low gross championship. Barry McNamee took second place with 154. Low net honors went to Byron Brodie who netted 142.

And the presence of a few hard work-. ing veterans like Dennis 011nik and Keith Prignitz, plus some promising rookies amount to nearly unbeatable forward lines.

HOCKEY WHAT ABOUT LAKEHEAD UNIVERSITY vs. LAURENTIAN UNIVERSITY GIRLS? PORT ARTHUR ARENA BY LARRY HEBERT I'm sure the boys ofL.U. have nothing personal against Bill Shannon's legs, but it seems to us that a female coach would be more appropriate for the girls' basketball team than Bill •Legs• Shannon. There is certainly no shortage of sports for the girls to participate in. To name a few there is badminton, basketball, curling, bowling, swimming, and modern dancing. There is also no shortage of girls. Even on the athletic council we have Elspeth Craig, Chris Kierzkowslci and Mar. Hamalainen. But no where can be found a female Athletic Director. LES JEUNES FEMMES The Sports Department feels that the girls need someone to aid and gaide them because there are some things about which you just can't talk to Bill • Ann Landers• Shannon. We' re sure that very few girls at Lakehead University had male Physical Education teachers in higb school. We would like to make it clear that we are not criticizing Bill Shannon in any way, but we feel that a female Athletic Director is badly needed and would be a welcomed addition with the new fieldhouse.

FUNERAL IN BERLIN •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• _ In these post-Fleming years another Englishman, Len Deighton, has been dishing up a delectable menu of master-spy novels, with a dash of cookery books thrown in for variety... (it's the spice of life.) But James Bond, the Knave, had absconded with most of the British government's financial pie, leaving little but crllll!rbs for his disgrlll!tled fellow-agents. Consequently, Funeral in Berlin lacks the moneyful spectaculars of •Thunderbau• and •From Russia, With Love•. It does, however, combine that grey, obscure life of the real secret agent with more than a touch of spine,-tingling English mystery flavour. Deighton starts off slowly. Routine job. Soviet scientist plans to defect. Needs safe passage into Western world. Preliminary arrangements go rather well. But then! Complication is compounded upon complication, as everyone from homosexual Mr. Hallam at the Home Office, to sometimes Jew, sometimes Nazi, Johnnie Vulcan in West Berlin, proves untrustworthy. A whirlwind of action and counteraction is stirred up in London, Berlin, P:tague, with developments that baffle rather than enlighten the reader. Then, after a momentous climax which seems to clarify the situation, new danger threaten; on the home front, and the plot is concluded with a dynamic and highly orijinal twist. •Funeral in Berlin is no classic, but, for the •cloakand-dagger• fan, it provides boundless excitement and enjoyable reading. BY KEN CONRAD DON COLBORNE Movie Review AGONY AND ECSTACY 'In the Agony and the Ecstacy, Pope Julius II commissioned Michelangelo to paint a fresco on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. The pay was poor, the work inordinately difficult; the artist was a sculptor, not a painter--he spent four begrudging years, interrupted by abandonment, sickness and local wars before finally completing a work which was hailed, then and now, as a masterpiece. It's a pity the s.;,me can't be said for the movie. The watching of the movie, of itself, became for me, the Agony and the Ecstacy. Let me explain: from the book by Irving Stone has come a screen play so bland as to dismay even the most naive. there are scenes which smirk of the trite (eg: a mountain top revelation to inspire the artist). In other words, the story is just one big blow out. The characterization, on the other hand, is magnificent. Heston and Harrison have some of the best antagonistic scenes ever filmed. Here are two giants, bringing to life a remarkable feeling of involvement, as proud personalities clash and history is made. This is the ecstacy, and for me, the film was worth seeing for these two performances alone. There is more, however. The colour is beautiful, and so is Diane Cilento. There is a brief display of some of Michelangelo's works at the beginning of the film, which has been hailed by some to be the best part of the entire picture. You will have to judge for yourself.

The answer was NOi By giving such a concession, it would establish a precedent. The same question was put to the Westfort Development Board at the same time. The answer was again negative. Might we bring their attention to the nurses who received a concession in the form of a 10% discount at Delmars, The Joy Shop, The Bata Shoe Store and The Bootery. They also received a 10% discount at any dry cleaners if they picked up their own items. Free roller skating and ice skating was another privilege obtained by proving that you were a student nurse. • Was this a precedent?· Mr. Robinson, president of the Downtown Business and Professional Association, stated in his letter to the A.M.S. that maintaining personal contact with the customer is important , yet in the immediate statement following. he said it would be a regressive step to now offer Groups no matter how worthy, concessions. Con- PA(;E NINE Students Beware BY IRIS CONCHIE tradlction, or what! I We are not revolutionaries seeking to overpower the merchants and render them profitless. It is a matter of moving with the times and opposing the old..fashioned and out-moded concepts. The concept of today, "the customer is king"", is plainly seen in the fashion world where competition has gone wild to please the every whim of the customer. In Southern Ontario, stores must cater to the market to survive. At the Lakehead we are isolated in the frozen northland; therefore the merchants have the upper hand. In 1913 Henry Ford built a Model T Ford which remained the same until 1926. His famous statemnt was, "Ycu can paint my cars any colour you want as long as its black•. It is now the year 1966 and our local concept seems to parallel this, that we can deal at local stores anyway we want as long as it is the way set by the merchants. University students on a limited budget would definitely be drawn to the stores giving discounts, and as a result, these stores my increase their overall profits. The Ski Clubs of the Lakehead have offered the students a 20% discount for some- time now. Was this a rrecedent? Stay tuned but don t bold your breath.

But what exactly is water pollution and what does it effect? Can a body of water be polluted for man and not for other organisms? The answer and other questions are currently the concern of Dr. Ozburn of the biology department and his research staff. Late last spring Dr. Ozburn, Mr. Bruce Bristowe and research assistant Don Dutchak conducted a preliminary study of the lower reaches of the McIntyre River. The study bas since been expanded into a full scale research project employing two graduate students, Lorne Everett and Kyle Bishop. _ Evidence indicates that the invertebrate fauna of the lower McIntyre has undergone a drastic change from the expected norm. By establishing laboratory cultures of some of these invertebrates and testing the effects of various known pollutants Dr. Ozburn• s group hopes to determir\e what changes have occurred and if they are indicative of pollution.

Conversation is shifting(slightly) from booze, broads, and wheels to Texas cowboys and napalm. In September the UniversityofTorontoCEWV(Committee to End the War in Viemam) designated November 11th and 12th as the Canadian •student Days of protest" (SOP) Many individuals who volunteered time and effort in promoting the SOP have encountered the usual attempts at intimidation by some bigoted elements in society. Nonetheless, student groups in at least Montreal, Ottawa, Kingston, St. Catherines, Toronto, London, Port Arthur, Winnipeg, Saskatoon, Regina, Calgary, Edmonton and Vancouver have organized local actions to extend the customary concept of remembrance Day. PAST AND PRESENT Our own student Vietnam Action Committee (independent) like the U. of T. CEWV), is asking us to •remember those who dies in past wars, and to demand that the present slaughter in Vietnam be stopped•. Apparently a few people claim to not understand why committees of this type should be tolerated. They consider such a formation to be an unnecessary threat to individual thought. Do they think that university students are sheep who are unable to resist any attitudes which are presented to them in an organized way? A VOIDING THE ISSUE Surely any person who would attempt to make an issue of the existence of a committee is simply unhappy about its stand and is either unwilling or unable to offer criticism of this stand. In the case of Viemam, pro-Johnson policy propaganda is pumped out by multi-million dollar organizations in the U.S. Should concerned student groups (with no funds) be prohibited as a threat to freedom of thought? .•. On the contrary, they represent freedom of thought. CRUCIAL MATTER The question of whether or not the Viemamese are entitled to the right of self-determination is not a mere academic matter. At this moment the blood of civilians and soldiers is running freely. ••. On the stage of the University Center Theater at 1:00 p.m., Friday, Nov. 11, there will be students, professors, clergymen, politicians, peace activists, labour leaders, folk-singers, buttons, posters and things.

Council who paraded from the University Centre Building, initiated the official opening of not only the new library building, but also the additions to the main university structure and the residence. The members of the procession made their way along the sidewalk, draped by numerous foreign flags (rePresenting the cosmopolitan atmosphere found in the residence), to the main floor of the library. Here the guest of honour was Senator Norman McLeod Paterson, Chancellor of the University. Prior to the senator's official opening of the library, the audience, which was of only moderate size, heard several speeches including addresses from Dr. Bartley, chairman of the board of Governors and Dr. Tamblyn, University President. Perhaps the most interesting highlight of the afternoon was Senator Paterson's presentation of a 200year-old Bible to the chief librarian. This is another addition to the already numerous rare books on display in the library. The affair culminated in a guided tour of the library for all visitors after which a reception was held in honour of Senator Paterson. it=·=·=·=·=·=·=·=·=·=·=·=·=·=·=·=·=·=·=·=·=·=·=·=·=·=·=·=·=·=·=·=·=·=·=·=·=·=·=·=·=·=·=·=·=·=·=·=·=·=·=·=·=·=·=·=❖=·=·=·=·=·=·=·=·=·=·=·=·=·=·=·=t ~ ~ J Imperial Pro Shop \!\ ~ ~ ~ ~ Ne111lssa Presents "Les Fe111mes Fatales" The above "femmes fa. tales" are several of the ravishing beauties Nemi ssa introduced to college society at the Campus Cuties Caper.

DECEMBER 10th. VOL. I, NO. IV LAKEHEAD UNIVERSITY, LAKEHEAD ONTARIO NO.2-UNIVERSITY SCHOOLS CRISIS FEVER NO.1 -USA South Dakota senator, and Kennedy man, George McGovern, spoke to a large enthusiastic gathering at the Lakehead University Centre on Friday, November 18. Condemning what he called •a crisis fever" now in the United States, McGovern suggested that his country be . willing to accept that every overthrow of a national government in some part of the world did not constitute a major problem for the U.S. McGovern proposed that the United States be willing to extend such programs such as Food For Peace. He suggested that an American Foreign Policy of domestic aid, rather than military, would be far more appealing to world nations. In an ARGUS interview afterwards, the senator stated that he thought that the draft in the United States could be substituted by a volunteer system which could be found operating successfully in most countries. Shortly after his speech Senator McGovern agreed to an interview with the ARGUS. QUESTION: Do you ~onsider President Johnson a handicap to you as a Democrat? ANSWER: The President seems to be losing a lot of his popularity. Recent polls show this drop in presidential popularity prior to the November 8 election. So in that sense, the President's skidding in popularity does serve as a problem for those of us who are running on the Democratic ticket. QUESTION: Do Americans • ... Replace the Draft.' seem to be jumping potty lines in order to vote for liberal or conservative candidates? ANSWER: The tendency for the American public in 1964 and 1966 to vote for the man rather than the party was apparent. They tend to support moderate but somewhat forward-looking liberal candidates. It seems to be a tendency to stay middle of the road rather than either on the left or on the right. QUESTION: Should Canada allow Draft Dodgers to enter? ANSWER: This seems a matter for the Canadian government to resolve, so I wouldn't like to give a comment. There is a better way for Americans to show their honest dissent on the war than in going to Canada. QUESTION: What do you think of student demonstrations against the war in Vietnam? ANSWER: These protests are healthy and are part of the tradition of free expression. Those who state that dissenters should be drafted because of their protests are in effect saying we ought to impose a moritoriam on freedom and on conscience. I think it would be a tragedy for us to fight so blindly for freedom in Vietnam then lose it in the U.S. QUESTION: Should the draft be dropped? ANSWER: I have hoped for a number of years to replace the draft by a volunteer system by upgrading the rewards, remunerations and the attractiveness of military life. We could probably recruit enough people on a voluntary basis to meet our defence needs without the draft. QUESTION: Is the Unamerican Activities Committee constitutional? ANSWER: The Unamerican Activites Committee has frequently exceeded the jurisdiction of a congressional committee. The UAC has seemed to frequently follow the role of a judge and prosecutor. This is a function for the courts, not for a congressional committee. This particular congressional group has exceeded the propriety if not the parliamentary jurisdiction of a congressional committee. The introductory meeting of the newly-formed Board of Governors forNorthWestern Ontario's College of Applied Arts and Technology was held November 17 at the Nor-Shore Motor Hotel. The ensuing fate of Lakehead University's University Schools Division was not discussed according to L.U. Dean of Science, Hart, who is one of the new governors. The potential crisis for our technology students is contained the College Act which makes provision for courses now offered at L.U. This would mean that all University Schools' students bands, court costs, pay for the Chief Magistrate and for the Chief Constable. Several minor, insignificant questions arise from this break.. down. For instance, what are court costs? Do the jobs, trying as they are, actually wa.rrant the remuneration received by the individuals concerned? From the records, the proctors receive $1.25 an hour, plus free admission to all University events at which they are on duty. A further question logically follows. Does the University actually need to spend this much on aprivate police force? It might be added that the proctor force is the only suchorganization on campus that receives any pay at all. Is this drain on AMS funds as necessary as it is made out to be? And with respect to the salary allotments for the Chief Justice and his assistants, was it kept in mind that the Judicial Committee saw no action last year? Another gem on the budget comes under the heading of anticipated revenue. The AMS is preparing to sell calendars in the next few weeks. The price of these calendars is $1.00. Hopefully the AMS budgeted for a realization of $1650, or a sale of 3500 of these items. Where are the 3500 people who want to pay a dollar for the privilege of telling the day of the week from a beautifully illustrated Lakehead U. calendar? Assuming that every full-time and part-time student buys one, 1700 will remain unsold. The loss of expected revenue will woul~ be forced to pursue their studies at the new college. Dr. Hart also stated that the College need not be established in one permanent building but is more likely • to be distributed in several throughout the region. It is expected that courses will begin in two areas--Fort Francis-Kenora and the Lakehead. The Board will be required to select a name for the new College before receiving its charter. Two recently chartered Colleges received the names Mowhawk and Algonquin. What's next, Ojibway? '67 YEARBOOK-$2.50 The '67Nor'Westerwillbe the biggest yearbook ever published at Lakehead University. Gerry Hashiguchi, editor, reports that the book will contain 160 pages, an increase of 48 pages over last year. This increase was needed to give better coverage of the student body and their activities for the year. New features being introduced are: a three (3) colour embossed hard cover, a 16 page colour introduction, colour coverage of the Winter Carnival. A full colour photograph, still a secret, will be used for a colour liner. • Due to an increase in the yearbook budget this year, the books will have to -be sold to undergraduate students who want them. The cost will be about $2.50 to the student. The A.M.S. fees will be used to subsidise the WHERE DID Al.I. THE MONEY GO? One of the highlights of the A.M.S. budget is the Science Society> s breaking even. This contrasts ratherfavorably with the Arts Society> s $1740 deficit. The University Schools' Society had to settle for a mere $860. The University Schools loses $1.40 per student while Arts manages to lose $4.30 a student. Aren't the poor deprived Science students worth losing money on? Why i s there such a difference between the per capita losses? Our illustrious proctors, those gentlemen on the prowl at every Universityfunction, are expected to spend $1507. All but $400 is to be usedfor salaries. Of this remaining amount , $250 has been set aside for operating expenses. This includes arm- TWELVE PAGES NOVEMBER 25, 1966 remaining cost. Watch your bulletin boards for SALE notices.

The Science dinner dance debacle indicated to us that the A.M.S. entertainment committee should immediately re-explore its priorities. After much sound planning, advertising and decoration the dinner dance found itself competing with a varsity hockey game and several private parties. The fact that only about twenty tickets were sold is sound proof that the average student prefers to get drunk informally and inexpensively. Past dinner dances have attracted three to four hundred people, about two hundred of whom were students. This left the vast majority without a university social event to attend during the weekend. On the evening of October 12 there was finally a choice. Most chose the game. Additionally, most students can't afford a 50 cent drink after admission and transportation expenses. The Lakehead University social calendar may be very impressive, worthy of a much larger institution, but it seems to cater almost exclusively to the minority with cars and cash. We believe that the entertainment committee should .concern itself more with activities which have a wider appeal. Frequent informal dances with local bands would be as much appreciated by the average student as thousand dollar weekend •extravaganzas". NO DISCOUNT SON ! O.K. So everybody's proud he's got a university in town. Keeps all the kids home. Saves money. Makes good citizens. Good future citizens. Period. Everybody's happy. Doesn't cost him too much. But don't let those young weirdos ask for any favours downtown. Against good old capitalism, or something. Besides, they should work like their fathers; like three cords a day or something. Make them earn everything. Earn it, son. So all the young L.U. hippies unable to get their discount downtown. Bad for the profits or something. Downtown Business Association say no go, son. No discount. The nurses abuse us with their discount. Can't get hurt anyway. Where else can the hippies go? Where else? DBA says no. Everyone says no. Can't go against the pack, son. Nothing like a democracy, though, son. Why do you protest, son? Everyone says no; except one. Thank you, Mr. Cooper. NO MATTER WHAT THE BIAS The ARGUS has been regularly accused of biased reportage and irresponsible editorial policy. The most deserving criticisms have been printed, including the letter to the editor from the Jaycee's which appears on page three of this edition. Such criticism is valid if the traditional concepts of journalism apply to a bi-weekly University magazine. However, the ARGUS chooses to reject these concepts for purposes of raising a little (.. **). If we undertook to present straightforward coverage of University news we could neither attract readers, nor, provoke interest. It might also be added that this University does not generate a great deal of news. The ARGUS will print the most blatantly prejudicial reports on absolutely anything which we deem of interest to our readers. We feel no pressing responsibility to defend this policy, but must assert that no copy will be rejected for reasons of biased content, no matter what the slant. We are University students here, and should be able to ~ecide for ourselves what is right and what is wrong. We should be exposed to all shades of opinion and have opportunity to make our individual opinions known through a student publication. If one wants reasonably unslanted news one might attempt to conciliate the Chicago Tribune with Izvestia. ROD PHILLIPS On November II, Southern Rhodesia celebrated one year of illegal independence --on November 11, 1965, U.D.I. was declared. The failure to crush this racist-governed state is disappointing to say the least, and much of the blame can be placed on the nations of Africa for their lack of determination to achieve African unity. This question of pan-Africanism is of great importance, as only through unity can the states of Africa hope to resist effectively foreign imperialism and the advances of Fascism within Africa. But the problem of pan-Africanism is a complex one, involving a conflict between an African consciousness and an African loyalty on the one hand, and concern with, and loyalty for, one individual African country on the other. In other words there is a conflict between continentalism and nationalism. At present there are thirty-six states in Africa, their boundaries fixed largely as a result of the scramble for Africa in the late nineteenth century. The continent will inevitably drift aprt unless steps are taken to counter-act this type of organization, for while the development of each nation means development for Africa as a whole, each stage in the development raises a barrier between states. Differences become consolidated and a national pride, inimical to an African pride, is developed. Those who wish to keep Africa weak, wf.ll (and do) ·exploit these weaknesses and try to effect disunity, in the hope that panAfricanism will be abandoned. But if Africa is to be independent of foreign domination, it must be unified. And whµe unification is far from impossible, unless measures are taken soon, it will become all but a lost cause. President Julius Nyerere, of Tanzania, speaking at the University of Zambia at LU$aka, outlined the path to African unity thus: •The first thing for Africa •.• is to determine that it (unity) shall be done. Determination that unity shall come must start with a psychological acceptance of its requirements. But it is not enough for African states to cooperate in dealing with particular problems. We mustdeliberatelymove to unity. To the fullest extent possible we must cooperate in our economic development, our trade, and our economic institutions. We must do this, despite our separate sovereignties although we have to recognize that there is a limit to the possibilities of economic integration without political union. When that point comes, then we shall either have to stand still--and this damages our real hopes for Africa-or we shall have to take the plunge into a merger of our international sovereignties.• This plunge will have to be taken if tragedies such as those in Southern Rhodesia and Ghana are to be prevented in the future. NATIONAL AFFAIRS CANADIAN QlJANDRY JACILBNOM The present debate over a monarchy versus a republic for Canada's future has become a false issue. The factions resemble a team of oxen when confronted by an obstruction; they decide on opposite directions of bypassing the obstacle. The direction becomes the issue in a tug-of-war and the work load is forgotten. At one extreme, there are those who rationalize their advocation and loyalty to the crown because it is a symbol and ancient institution that must be retained. By this sentimentality, the only other alternative, that of becoming part of the U.S.A., is undesirable. At the other extreme is the continental faction, adherring to the theory that it is in Canada's best interests to abolish the monarchy and become a satellite or a constitutional part of the U.S. These extreme points of view are irrelevant and are evading the more practical and basic issue: Canadian independence. While we have almost complete independence from Britain except for the acknowledgement of the crown to preserve our constitutional parliamentary institutions we are at the same time, an economic appendage of our immediate neighbour. To avoid new extremities, let us clarify that while economic independence is desirable, it is impractical to assert that we must do away with all foreign investment. It is a fact, however, that a nation•s policies are based on its economy, and in this light we must be cognizant of the fact that American international firms are the instruments of Washington's foreignpolicy. The percentage of American ownership in Canadian enterprise, manufacturing. mining and oil, gas and petroleum products far exceeds 50%. Under such conditions ours is a self-imposed colonial status. It would presently appear that our inability (not disability) to develop our own national resources, is a national resource for the Am,3rican investors. The argument that the profits a foreign developer receives are only the prices we pay to his experience does not condone our dependence on him. It should be possible to gain the capital and the advanced,i\merican technology by other tolerable means rather than the unlimited direct investment and the consequent ownership. My submission is three-fold: 1. The need and the subsequent endeavour to lessen American ownership is not anti-American. 2. The quest for Canadian economic independence must not be the advocation of false pride. culminatingin malicious ultranationalism. 3. To reduce and limit foreign ownership is to gain economic independence. This is a necessity for greater flixibility and impartiality of policies in world affairs. No one can deny the invaluable role which Canada has. played as a mediator among hostile countries. There is no roomforforeign intimidation in Canada's role in international affairs. The issue then should be predicated on developing Canada., as an independent nation able to determine its future through the stability of a Canadianized economy. This is the work load that the two factions are forgetting. LETTER TO THE EDITOR Dear Mr. Marks: I wish at this time to compliment you and all other students connected with 1,our new and very interesting publication The Argus•. I have read with interest in your October 28th edition a column written by Don Colborne, in particular his reference to the fact that students at the Lakehead University do not have the privilege of discounts in retail stores. We at the Lakehead have been most pleased and astonished by the rapid growth of the university and we suddenly realize that we are now part of a •university City". Because this is a new situation for the citizens and business concerns we are naturally not aware of privileges connected with Universities in other centers which I believe accounts for the fact that students do not obtain a discount. Now that this information has been brought to my attention I would be most happy to extend a 10% discount to all students male and female, in view of the recent opening of our men's furnishings department, on all purchases they make at any time with the exception of items on sale. Naturally all students requesting a discount must present a valid students' card from the University. I am sure that the necessary notification to all students will be handled by your publication.

This puts L.U. in the first place with a 3 - 1 record, having defeated Dinty' s, Rembers and Videon while going down to defeat to Clarkes. The team has not played up to par so far but Coach Bristowe feels that this is only because of lack of experience. One of the brighter points is the emergence of rookie Don Hornstrom as the team's scoring leader. He is {lVeraging 20 points per game. Another positive factor is the hustling defensive play of George Kostyshyn and his excellent ball handling. Coach Bristowe has been working hard to find the right combination of starters.

Alva ts not the first young girl, nor will she be the last young girl to dream that love is lovelier, somewhere else. Alva was growing up in the only way she knew how.

This is one of those pictures that attempts to show that the Depression was not really so depressing. We of the technocratic age of affluence do not seem to place stress upon •truth and honesty• (a catch phrase), that former societies have seen. Indeed, a morally sound businessman, if he survives the tooth-and-nail conflict of •money-a-go-go at all, is considered some.. thing of the fool for not bending his moral fibre just a bit and thereby shearing much more of the financial wool.

William Goldman wrote a relatively 100d book, and called it Your Turn to Curtsy, My Turn to Bow". No •soldier in the Rain•, or •Temple of Gold•, but still a good book. It tells the story of young Peter Bell and his experiences as Junior counsellor at Blaclcpine Camp for Boys. Goldman• s publishers noticed Peter's three page long association with Camp Blackpine' s answer to Fanny Hill, and dishonestly labelled the book a •trank and tender portrait of •.. initiation into physical love.• •A starkly revealing story of the yearning and pain of unmarried love.• These moneymaking words detract from Goldman• s effort to write a truly •frank and tender• story, because they ignore all the frank and tender characters and scenes in the book except one.

We wondered whether our intriguing weather conditions, and our snow had drawn the students to our campus. When he spoke of Hong Konl(s 85 degree, airconditioner-requiring cliconditioner-requiring climate and of Canada's invigorating climate, I somehow suspected this was not the easel Educational opportunity, perhaps? Mr. Yuan felt that this might be one reason • The greatest problem China must face today i s overpopulation and therefore, in Mr. Yuan's own words, the problem of •too many students and too few vacancies in the Universities.• He noted that Hong Kong with four million people has two Universities. In China, it is the scholastic ability rather than the financial capability of the student that decides who has the right to further his or her education. Chinese students must, after their high school education, attend the sixth form for two years, write the required examinations and hope that they can meet the academic qualifications of one of their universities. There is a slim chance for students who must work for one or two years following their high school education. They must study either at home or in the form for one year, and then write the examination. Mr. Yuan mentioned that the Canadian immigration office in Hong Kong has been most helpful to Chinese stu- dents in providing information on Canadian Universities. We discussed the moral consciousness of the Chinese University student. Traditional views, Mr. Yuan suggested, form the basis of their morality. In regards to pre-marital relations, he therefore felt that ~e concept of marriage is of great importance to the Chinese girl. Westerners inclusive of Canadians, seem to be more frank, more open along these lines. Asked then whether religion was of prime importance in decisions and discussions in China, Mr. Yuan felt that religion was of importance to the Chinese but on an individual level. Speaking on the lighter side of social life •.•the great question of liquor restrictions came up. Hong Kong, has no restrictive liquor age. In fact, it would not even seem strange to see a child of seven or eight purchasing a bottle , of whiskey ... if he could afford itl Mr. Yuan felt that in Hong Kong, there is less extensive drinking because of this freedom. Perhaps Canada would do well to investigate this situation. He felt that while for a time there would be an increase, in time a decrease would come. In discussing the political situation in China today, Mr. Yuan preferred to speak generally. Canadians are misinformed about China today and in his opinion, it would be better for him in a future edition of Argus to explain this situation in his own terms. He did, however, comment lightly on Hong Kong, saying it was a British colony with THURBER CARNIVAi. JAMES THURBER lets ua believe ~at life is no mere supermart or circumstance. It is, rather, that the individual by his own initiative prevents this tired old globe from dyin~ of boredom. If this is man s function, Thurber knows those who are totally unaware of it and those who are obsessed by it. The Thurber eye is quicker than most, enabling him time and again to catch society with its pants down. But Thurber leaves generalities to the computers and looks at one personality at a time. As a result we meet a soul like Walter Mitty to whom the world has a population of one. As all Thurber characters are, Mitty is a human specialization. It is of the detailed incidents in the lives of ThUPber's people that 'A Thurber Cal'J).ival' is composed. Patterned as a comedy revue, revelations such as: The Night the Bed Fell, The Unicorn in the Garden, The Macbeth Murder Mystery, and Mr. Preble Gets Rid of His Wife. In bringing his people to the stage, Thurber promises a carnival, indeed, a circus of energy, colour, music, and movement. Imagine the demands of timing and reflex made on the performers of a live television skit, who function through incidents derived from their own personalities. You will glimpse what is required of a performer for 'A Thurber Carnival'. We extend full invitation to the students of Lakehead University to our casting sessions.

We all know the dangers of this muck-hole in the spring and fall. Not only is it in a constant state of submergence, but it seems to attract the moisture from a mile around on drv davs. Lakehead students make good ballet dancers as they piro~tte from one dry spot to another, 10 feet away. In winter, the moisture freezes into a substance called ice, which makes the cars do the ballet. Swan Lake has nothing on the perlormance of students' cars hitting sheet ice as they turn into the parking lot, spinning around and around, and making their finale by crashing into a snowbank in a flurry of snow. Someinaybreakallrecords soon by ending up on or in the McIntyre River. Students, a little green around the gills from this space-age flying. are determined not to be undone by their machines. They out-perform the Red Army Dancers as they movewithfeetand arms flying, to the cafeteria. There is not much hope for improvement in the future because the administration is constructing a new building on the spot. These browned-off beefs are just for the future. The new parking lot should be paved so that we don't all ¥Ve to wear hip-waders or crampons to school. Not that I m a snob, (foresters!) but they just aon't seem to go with my new suit from Andrew Coffey's. Some of the students brought me in a puzzle which I hope one of the Math Department or someone might solve. The other day car A moved into a position, two spaces north and one space west of car B in the parking lot. Upon returning. the driver of car A found the situation something like this: A few problems arose when the owner of car A wanted to move his car. Using his total accumwation 6f deductive and analytic reasoning. he could come up with no better solutions than either physically moving them, running around the buildings shouting licence numbers, (you know how weird this would look), or depending on Divine Providence to step in and pluck his car from the midst of this Chinese riddle. He decided on thefirst approach, and all 100 pounds and five feet of him moved three cars. The blue tone of the ice was matched by the tone of Don• s (oops) blue words, as he made his way out of the car lot. A word of wan1ing. this student carries plastic explosives to clear his path in the future. A combination of the climatic conditions and drivers like Driver D make driving to school quite an adventure. L.U. drivers are either the most patient, capable drivers or else someone is pounding out a lot of dents on the sly. I venture to that lot very infrequently, only on Friday nights at the dances, when few cars are runningbecause something else is. Remember exams Hustler's Handbook· The staff of the ARGUS has in the past been admonished for printing nothing but criticism. This survey was taken solely among students on campus who have received their Ontario Student's Aid Program loans, and from whom this writer could gain material with which to write in favour of P.O.S.A.P. The results are a switch from the usual comment on Mr. Davis's plan - while not wildly in favour of it, the students interviewed seldom were so disgusted as to send their checks back in frustration. RICHARD THEDE - FORESTRY TECH . I •My loan took about a month - maybe a little more - to come in. I think that it is a pretty good deal. From my own point of view, the plan is a good one, but maybe that is only because I got as much as I did. The best thing so far as I can see is the fact that they give you about one-third of the loan, sort of like a bursary. As for all the adverse opinions that seem to be around, there must be something in the application that the Government looks at that makes them decide who to give the money to and who to refuse. Like I said, from my point of view, it's a good plan. I've got no beefs against it.• JORMA HALONEN - SCIENCE I •My loan came through in about five weeks. It wasn't as much as I had hoped for, and so it won't be enough. I think that the time that it takes to be processed in Toronto is too long. The waiting period is full of suspense and nail-biting. I also feel that they cannot do a f;tir analysis from what is included on those lists. To get a really just indication of a student's needs, you have to have some personal contact with the individual concerned. Maybe if they sent out representatives to each individual University or area they could get better ideas of the needs of each applicant. Also that question on parental ability to support students at University is no good. If further considerations . were taken, then it would have some bearing but not in its present isolated spot.• GREG ALEXANDER - ARTS I start on December 10. Hey pall Did you forget $1.00.

PERSONALIZED SERYICEn ff l '"NO-NAME-PLEASE" ·ARTS I •1 think that the plan could be better organized. I had all my tuition and preliminary expenses paid before my loan was received, after a month of waiting. When it came I found that I had almost a thousand dollars of spending and living money, of which one third was free. The reason for this I guess is that they never asked about the other sources from which I could get money to pay for tuition, books and residence. It sure was good for me, but I guess that I'm just one of the lucky ones. I really feel sorry for those kids who didn't get as much as they needed." TERRY NOBLE - FORESTRY TECH. I •r didn't apply through the University to get my student loan, so it took three months to come. The amount which they allot you for the term before Christmas is the smaller part of the entire loan and as far as my own needs go this is not enough - in fact I might not even make it into the next month. Really, though, I guess I've got nothing against it, But I think that they should either give you the money in one lump sum, or give you the larger half in the first term. instead of waiting for the second half, after you've starved to death. I just know that what I got for before Christmas should have been for before December. •it took my loan two months to reach me. CALENDARS HERE By now, most of the students hav'e received their precious copies of the •Hustler's Handbook"', alias the Contact.

It is definitely not enough, so I must now find another source of making money. I guess my assessment was as fair as could be expected, though. I know some others got a really rough deal. Mind you I could have certainly used a little more, but the state of things is not so bad that I won't be able to get through my year. I can get a loan from my father if necessary, but then I will be right back where I didn't want to be - in debt to my parents. I think that the government should really look into this program. It needs more time and attention on the part of the department to be really successful. It took too long. also.

Contrary to the belief that a certain • stripper• would turn us into a •reformed school choir• we set aside a day .to attire ourselves in the best manner for our "mug" shots, nothing criminal though. In form the foresters are finally doing something concrete. Under the directionof the second year foresters a sub-organization of the A.M.S. to be known as the Lakehead University Forestry Organization was formed. L.U.F.A. was formed to unite all the forestry students in order to •promote and maintain co- operative relationships among various phases of the government and forest industries." Membership is available to all present students of the school of forestry and past graduates for a nominal fee. The association willprovide informative talks and films for its members, features which will acquaint them with all possible opportunities a vailabie in forestry. At one of the meetings, Mr. Dave Roden related his experiences as a naturalist in Quetico Park. A very experienced speaker, Dave gave an enlightening talk; his many slides added much to his very interestingtopic. A newsletter will be published at regular intervals to keep L.U.F .A. members informed of the organization's activities and of new technical advances in the forest industry. The first of these was published a few days before the Conference on Wood Measurement which was held at Lakehead University from Nov. 7 to Nov. 10th. This first publication introduced L.U.F .A. to the individuals present and outlined its purposes and objectives. •To scale or not to scale• that was the question put to the foresters at the Conference. Through theworkof the L.U.F .A. executive, the forestry students were allowed to sit in on the lectures and attend a sit-down dinner at which Doug Dubray, P.A.

In an interview with Claude Smith, this reporter was told that an extensive public address system for the University Centre is definitely in the works. A comprehensive system is planned with the speakers in the cafeteria, great hall, games room, and senior longue. Microphone jacks will be installed in each of these - locations except the senior lounge. In conjunction with the system there will be a console housing, a tape desk, record player, and probably an AM-FM radio. Thus, instead of garbled conversation at lunchtime, we can all listen to soft background music- (the choice of which will undoubtedly be the source of much discussion)-but most important will be the broadcasting of news at the school, and information concerning functions at the University, in contrast to the present hitor-miss system utilized by the bulletin boards.

The system will definitely be installed because at the recent University Committee meeting, the need was recognized and a resolution asking for one was passed unanimously. F. Lovelady & Sons Port Arthur With the aim of pleasing all its members, the Chemistry Club has tried to provide a varied and interesting agenda. During the first few meetings, it was decided that most activities would involve lectures from University personnel and other local dignitaries, tours to industrial plants around the Lakehead, films on assorted scientific subjects, and any experiments that students might wish to conduct in the laboratory. So far we have had lectures from Dr. Hawton, Dr. Orr, and Mr. Blascke, chief chemist of Doran' s from Sudbury, a tour of (slurp!) Doran's itself, and a showing of two films. Students have also been conducting experiments of a personal interest in the labs. There yet remains in the planning one more tour, to Mc Kellar Hospital. In the New Year, more emphasls will be placed on tours and lectures. I repeat: any students who are interested in any part or parts of the proposed programme are welcome to attend. This invitation extends to those in other faculties as well as Science. 10 s. CUMBERLAMD I 109 s.

Honararia are cash payments or privileges extended to those holding responsible and time-consuming student offices. They can in no way approach the value of the work done but do represent appreciation and recognition as well as a return on personal expenses incurred. Discussion of the proposals was long and heated and ended in a motion to table for revision and explanation. Basically, honoraria for the more important positions would be a cash payment based on a percentage of tuition. The purpose of the approach was apparently to establish the comparative worth of these positions and as a matter of convenience. The recommendations were these (cash value in brackets): AMS Pres. 60% of tUition (276) AMS Treas. 60% of tuition (276) . AMS Vice. 50% of tuition (230) AMS Sec. 40% of tuition (184) Society Pres. 30% of tuition (138) Yearbook Ed. 25% of tuition (115) Argus Co-Ed. 15%each(l38) Comment on this portion of the proposals came in the form of Mr. Sulphur's admission that the Yearbook and Argus allotments were, of necessity, particularly low in relation to workloads; Mr. Mitchell's assertion that the president's salary would be lowered from last year and Mr. Lemmon' s observation that perhaps the vicepresidential responsibilities did not warrant such a proportionately high honoraria. Honoraria for lower pos- itions was hotly debated. The Committee recommended that each A.M.S. councillor be granted free admission to all university functions worth $1.00 or less and that the Chief Justice, Thec.u.s. chairman, the editor of Contact, and Ken Johnson, who assists in advertising, be refunded their A.M.S. fee of $30.00. Councillor Cordingly and Committee chairman Sulphur had very divergent views on this position. Mr. Cordingly stated that •There are a couple of people loosing out on this deal•, referring to the CUS chairman and the Chief Justice. In his own words Mr. Cordingly asserted that "'The C US chairman is getting it in the left ear•. "'Getting what?• querried Mr. Penner. No reply. At the opposite extreme Mr. Sulphur said, "'The C US chairman doesn't do anything as I see it. He hasn't done Cordingly and Sulphur-Confusion Comer anything for the University as a whole" and"'The Chief Justice just sits here at meetinis and reads Constitutions • Treasurer Hider suggested that Mr. Sulphur rephrase his comments and the Chief Justice, Peter Rusak, challenged Mr. Sulphur's observations and accuse him of being •obviously poorly-informed councillot Mr. Sulphur apologized an retracted his statements.

We asked Dean Rothney and Dean Hart just where we stand this year. Dr. Hart replied that "'The purpose of Christmas exams is to allow students at the first year level to get an idea of what is expected of them.• He estimated that 5 to 10 students were flunked out last year and that, in Science, there are about 30 on probation this year and about that number will be asked not to return.

The Nor'Westers were once again led by Maurray Smith with two unasaisted goals while Dennis Olinik and John "'The Barber" Stefiszyn counted one each.

The undermanned L.U.' basket-ball team was also defeated by United and the refs. The entire refereeing display was the worst and most onestded ever witnessed by this reporter. Another factor in the defeat was the height of the players. United averaged 5 inches taller per man than Lakehead. WINDSOR (CUP)--University of Windsor students burned a Buddhist monk in effigy Wednesday (Nov. 30) to protest Ontario's controversial student award program. The 15-minute ceremony attracted about 300 cheering students, who, after listening to speakers protest the recently-initiated award program, set fire to a kerosene-soaked effigy of a seated figure in saffron-colored robes. WINDSOR The protest was meant to be a dramatic presentation of dissatisfaction with the program-one aspect of which calls for a rigorous means test before loans are advanced- to students. a student spokesman said. •Lower-income students are reluctant to take loans. as they offer only temporary aid,• a student council member said.

We think this misguided opinion, one which is held by the majority of students, must be altered Until this year, the Judicial Committee was never employed. The reason for the Committee's absence on campus was not because of extreme student body innocence, but rather one of chronic disorganization in the Student Court scene. But under Rusak' s guidance this term, the Committee has warned one student for disorderly conduct at a Dinner Dance, and fined another $100.00 in a fraud charge. What is perhaps extremely important is that this latter student paid his fine. The Student Proctor System is in its first year of existence at Lakehead University. And again it has been Mr. Rusak' s work which has made possible the formation of this body. When the Proctors have beeen present at student functions there has been only minor infractions and no damage. The only thing obviously lacking in the Proctor System is a constable who is able to have jurisdiction over offending students which are not from Lakehead University. But this problem is one which may be easily rectified and is not a serious structural fault in the existing system. What all this brings us to, is the fact that Peter Rusak has accomplished a great deal more than any other previous student Justice has. Both systems under his control have worked quietly and efficiently. It seems the rewards of quiet efficiency are a honorarium of $30 and the needless criticism of a supposedly responsible counc~llor. BLUE IS BLUE A POST MORTEM FRED KELLY - OR IS IT ? It has been proposed that the dark blue leather jackets, which arrived on campus by accident and were adopted by the Foresters, be re-ordered despite the fact that they are not in the official Lakehead U. colours as stipulated in this university's charter. There is no good reason why leather University jackets must be in a different colour from all other types. The only reason put forward is that leather Jackets, which are more likely to be sold to men in technology who might wear them on field trips, should be in a darker colour which will not show wear as badly as our official colour. This argument is inadequate. Look at the colour of a standard melton jacket. If this azure blue, our official colour, is too light, someone is colour blind. There will be very real problems created if the A.M.S. authorizes two distinct Jacket colours. The question is one of unity. We have a unique situation here at Lakehead in the high , degree of inter-faculty cooperation and communication. This is no accident. It is due to our small size and very conscious effort by the powers that be. It could reach the point where an Artsman who wants a leather jacket will be forced to buy one which has become accepted as a •Forestry jacket•. Alternately, a forester who can't afford a leather jacket might have no choice but to purchase an • Arts and Science jacket•. The A.M.S. will be doing a grave disservice to this University's unity if it allows each faculty to have, in effect, distinct and different jackets. • ' Voters in Australia andNewZealandhave expressed their support for United States policy in Vietnam. In the General Elections held in each country on November 25, the respective governments were returned to power. These were Keith Holyoake' s National (Conservative) Party in New Zealand, and Harold Holt's Liberal Country Party in Australia. In Australia the government increased its majority in the Parliament by a considerable number. In New Zealand the National Party lost one seat in the House of Representatives (from 45 to 44 in a House of 80 seats), which went not to the Labour opposition but to the right-wing Social Credit Party--the first seat won by a third party in New Zealand in 23 years. The victories of the respective parties can be interpreted as a victory for U.s. Vietnam policy. The governments in both countries supportthispolicy,Australiahavirrg ~sent ~,500 men (including conscripts) and New, zealand: having committed a 150 man and 5 Howitzer artillery force to aid the U.S. in its war against Vietnam. From all accounts, the election campaign in both countries centred around the Vietnam issue to the virtual exclusion of all other issues. In New Zealand, the Labour Party had promised the withdrawal of N.E. troops from Vietnam and its replacement by humanitarian aid. In Australia, the Labour Party had promised the withdrawal of all troops and its replacement by technical personnel. The repercussions of these election results, while not tremendous in import.. ance, will be significant not anly inside, but outside their respective countries. In the countries themselves, the prestige of the governments will be boosted and they will be able to act with more confidence on Vietnam. In the case of Australia, the election figures will undoubtedly result in the sending of yet more troops, ineluding more conscripts, to the Vietnam war. In New Zealand, commentators predict that more troops will be committed, but as this will strain the country's military resources, conscription will be introduced, and conscripts may be sent to Vietnam. This policy, against which the government has given an assurance already, is unlikely to be popular with many people, and the government may hesitate before takin(! such a move. The election results will also boost the morale of the U.S. government to the extent that it is assured of continued military support from New Zealand and Australia. Taking all considerations into account, then, the election results are most regrettable . The disillusionment of the Cana_dian people in the old political parties is evident and will develop into interesting results. The open tumult and battling within the Progressive Conservative Party has somewhat subsided or at least is not so sensationally forefronted in the news as was very recently the case. John Diefenbaker is still moaning over the h,µmiliation to which he was subjected in the recent convention. But he is still biding his time as to his retirement. It is clear that he must step down. His refusal to be intimidated into resignation or his determination to hold the reigns through the Centennial year only lessens the strength of his party and may very well reduce it to a third party status. In sad reality the Conservatives are engaged in a battle of personalities rather than in the formation of policies--i.e. Camp vs Diefenbaker. Camp definitely scored a victory at the convention although he asserted that he was ·not anti--Diefenbaker, but rather pro-Conservative and thereby guising his campaign for leadership reassessment as a step •to modernization and democratization• of the party. The postconvention Declaration(signed by most Conservative M.P .' s) asking Diefenbaker to retain leadership could not really salve any part of the mortal wound. Any loyalty to Diefenbaker is rooted in sentiment and pity-he is an old warrior! But the real split still exists which is that of the young rebelling against the old generation. By contrast the vote of confidence given Lester Pearson at the October Liberal Party convention was an exercise to tie up loose ends in the party and display unity. The only disunity came from Man- power's Minister, Marchand, in his criticism and opposition to Mr. Sharp's postponement of medicare, but Pearson handled the situation with a compromise. And while Ex-FinBt-nce Minister Gordon was manoeuvered into completing his so-called political suicide over economic rationalism, Mr. Sharp strategically set himseJf up •succeed Pearson upon the latter's retirement. The Liberals, ever cognizant of the spli within the official opposition, capitalize~ on the opportunity to display harmony and unity in closing. The deception is indeed very shallow for the Liberals are not without problems. The rebellion of youth against old generation rule is now universal. In the final analysis the New Democratic Party is the beneficiary of the present state of affairs in conjunction with its hare work. For the most pan the drift is nol of Conservative votes becoming Liberal anc the converse is untrue. The latest GalluI poll verifies an ever-increasing supportfo1 the N.D.P. Liberals have 38% of the popular vote, and the N.D.P. is now level witlJ the Conservatives at 26%.

Yours trulyJ John Harti Dean Of Science, �THE ARGUS DEC. 9, 1966 "Resignttus" Hits Editors Ottawa (CUP)--A disease threatening to reach epidemic proportions is sweeping Canadian university campuses this fall. A rapidly-increasing number of campus newspaper editors are being struck by resignitus. Although most editors resign voluntarily to qualifyfor membership in The Club, as the association of former student newspaper editors is called by the 'in, group, some become members by another route: councilus firitus. Such was the case of Sandy Gage, former editor of The McGill Daily. Following printing of a November 11 front-page story which alleged civil engineering professor Dr. Raymond Young was conducting research • designed to aid the American war effort in Vietnam•, McGill University's students' council demanded Ga1,e' s resignation. I am not going to resign--you will have to fire me,• Gage firmly replied. Gage was fired. The McGill Daily, however, lost more than an editor when Gage was dismissed --52 staff members resigned after their chief was removed from office. Herein lies a difficulty most campus editors face. In allowing papers to become student council bulletin boards, they avoid potential coun~il-newspaper friction, but are often blasted for becoming a council instrument. If, conversely, when they crusade for a campus cause or attempt to implement a hard-line editorial policy, they are often accused of promoting their own 'narrow' causes. Are editors compensated for all the headaches caused by staff disagreements, squabbles with council and PAGE THI ARGUS JOINS CUP • •-by Ginger Bradley The ARGUS was admitted secondarf institutions to associate membership in learning.

This liberty may be a cause for temptation as the consumption of beveraged spirits is heavier amongst non-residents. It is interesting to note the propable creeping of guilt into the consciences of those who received student loans. Their liquor allowance is much less than that of an average student. Business men dip into father's pocket for a much larger share than male members of other faculties. In contrast other University Schools students claim to be the most s;lf-supporting. If the figures are to be trusted the point to meditate is the close percentage proportions of total funds which males living away from and at home receive from the government. .

The Finnish main dishes forChristmas are smoked pork and smoked ham, with several ethnic dishes such as Lipeakalaa, a specially prepared codfish. Liaguiat H. -Agha (Pakistan): The Moslem majority of Pakistan never forgets to share the festivities of the Christian Brethen who enjoy special leave during Christmas. Exchange of gifts, visits and entertainment add to the warmth and friendliness, and reflects the Pakistani hospitality. Lileith Beharry (Guyana): Just as in the Carribean, we have been greatly influ.. enced by Britain, since we were one of her South American colonies for so many years (formerly known as British Ghiana). We also have Santa Claus, turkey,and presents, but our Christmas trees are artificial. On any outing on Christmas day, the weather is quite lovely but you must be careful to watch for snakes, for the forest is still very wild. I don't know too much about the actual native Indians; they live deeper inland andaren't Christian, of course, so I suppose they have something entirely different. Sze-Chung Yuan(HongKong): Much of the Chinese population has been affected by the British occupation of over a century, so that it is almost natural that they have adopted the pleasant holiday of Christmas, even though it has little religious meaning. Schools get out around their gardens and bring them into their homes at Chr1Bt- mas to provide the traditional atmosphere for the exchange of gifts. However, if it's a real Chinese festival you' re after, that wouldbetheChinese New Year -- the biggest and most exciting of the annual celebrations. Shops close, factories shut down, and everyone goes home for several days to visit old friends and relatives. The New Year's Eve dinner is spectacular and these days is much varied, as the great inflow of refugees to Hong Kong has brought many different types of language, customs, and cuisine to this . city, depending on what part, of the China mainland the refugees are originally from. Most prevalent cuisines are the Cantonese and Shanghai, with some from Northern China. The New Year will be near the first of February in 1967 (based on the Lunar Calendar) and at that time we will say farewell to the Year of the Horse (1966) and welcome in the Year of the Goat --19671.

Here was a log in whose flames old wrongs Were consumed, forgiven, yea forgotten. Old hopes were fulfilled, new friendships begotten As man in humble endeavour sought to better Relations with his fellow-humans so imperfect. Ah, lights aglitter in gay decor Once more the fruits of happiness we savour; But man, the paradox of creation, gives Joy and disillusionment, happiness and disappointment, Attempts to whisper love, but howls hatred, Advocates in his relationships a harmony sacred, Strives to maintain a friendship And in the struggle his intention fouls. It was a person wise and experienced who counselled •No human is worth it to upset you. Never give one the triumph!" The counsel's truth is almost inconceivable, Disgust and rashness is almost feasible, As deceptions and indiscretions abound Joys and spirits are almost aground, But hark, I hear the sled on fresh snow .... , 'Tis the Log of Yule -- I raise my hat and bow. --Fred Kelly BROWNED OFF Lakehead University students regard this column with interest or disinterest, depending upon whether their personal beefs are voiced or not. They have come to accept the Browned Off column as a forum for my own personal peeves. I assure them that this is true and I also assure them that little is holy, including them. The clamour generated by loud and happy mobs in the cafeteria is enough to gladden the hearts of our overly protective parents. Now. the parents say junior is associating with all these intelligent people in UJ}iversity. Now junior is learnin-g how to get along with the better rungs of society; he is getting an education by talking to all these people from different lands and cultures; he is broadening his sphere so that he can be one of the leaders of the community, and he is probably discussing new and challenging theories to combat the problems of the world. Hal On close examination of the situation I find that the parents have unknowingly overestimated the poignancy of junior's conversation. A recent poll showed that out of 5 tables (all male) in the cafeteria, the subject of such excited exclamation was not intellectual or scientific, but rather 70% were discussing the rate of rise of a short skirt seated at a distant table, 28% were recounting every moment of the euphoria achieved at the Crest last night, and 2% were staring into space and probably contemplating suicide because they were not interested in either. Just by watching the sixth table, I was able to predict the discourse. It probably went something like this: • .... . six spades ..... doubled ....... . redoubled ......tripled .....•.... retripled ....... quartered•..... etc.• Anyone who does try to stimulate any conversation on above this mundane level is branded as a nut. In an attempt with one group to promote the old habit of actually saying something when the mouth is opened, we covered a full spectrum of topics from religion to water pollution in 5 minutes and 3 hours uninformedly discussing sex and its perversions. Interesting as it was, I could not help but feel that sex had become an act necessary only for Cotl"i£.,N~•·-v,r. .. ,"9-vO T,,,p;,c~- 1.---"7' .. _ r,.,r.:,· P-9~~-~,-;,e,,r . by John Brown future expositions to be related to others, not the dilemma or farce it was supposed to be. One chap told the group that he was a virgin, and everyone slowly ostracized him o one end of the table. He had broken a major unwritten law, in that even if one has never had sex, one is never expected to admit it, and must fake it. Honesty isn't always the best policy at all times in the cafeteria. The average student doesn't mix with any rungs of the social ladder except his own. Students from the Lakehead sit with all the kids they knew in PACI or Selkirk, and few mix. Students from •out of town• mix with other from •out of town•. One firend from Toronto was very happy at the end of October, and I asked him why. He said the reason for the state of well-being is that he met another student who actually lived in the Lakehead. There is little mixing with those students from Hong KongorTrinidad, and even so it is usually in some official capacity and not one of cultural exchange. If junior expects to be one of the leaders of the community, he had better apply at another institution. It is virtually impossible to get much organized because of the apathy of our esteemed student body. Check the figures on the A.M.S. council voting. There are about ten people here who try to organize meetings, groups, or -~L~ clubs to further interest in areas that are supposed to be the domain of the undergraduates of universities. The programs, more times than not, are flops, and the organizers are passed off as pushy types. The ten are usually involved in everything in the whole place anyway. Check most of the clubs on campus and you'll find a duplicity of membership. Little or no theory comes from the lecture rooms into the cafeteria. Post-lecture analysis indudes a description of Dr. X, (fat and fifty), or Dr. Y, (smokes and shouts a lot), as well as any current off-cour remarks made be either. When questioned on the actual subject itself, an ambiguous mumbling (.... some Greek wrote this play about some guy in love with his mother ...or was it his father?) meanders down a list of names and dates. Any relation of theory presented in the lecture rooms and the daily routine of our E& Verage student is purely accidental and, upon correction, is readily mended. I don't see much change of this pattern in the future. It was the same last year. Maybe it is an indication of a new rebellion against the old concepts.

Less than a year after the infamous MacDonald fraud put Lakehead U. on the map, Mr. J. MacDonald, successor to the Chairmanship of the Psychology Department, has resigned.

In an exclusive interview with the ARGUS Mr. MacDonald declined to state in precise terms the reasons for bis resignation. He said only that •It was imJ><>ssible for me to continue , but he made clear that his action was prompted by tensionbetween himself and the administration. In a separate interview, Dr. Rothney, Dean of Arts, said that be had not been entirely surprised by the resignation.

A timid CUS mouse requesting reactionary jackasses like your average AMS, SAC, et al to fight for progressive change invites disaster. If CUS wants militancy it had better start screaming. Rallys, protests, marches, riots. terrorism, guerrila warfare, anything. It must have the majority of students actively behind it if it is to succeed. Then there's solidarity. If CUS has a policy which students genuinely want, or should genuinely want, they must know what it is. The key here is education.

ROD PHILLIPS Viet Peace Hopes The most immediate threat to worldpeace at the beginning of 1967 is undoubtedly the . war in Vietnam. Recently there have been major develoPments in all aspects of this tragic conflict. On the military front: The number of U.S. troops in Vietnam has surpassed the total in Korea at the height of the war in that country. Allied troop strength has also increased greatly, instances being thesendingof 1,000 Thai troops to Vietnam, and the transfer of New Zealand troops from the Malaysian to • Vietnamese war theatres. U.S. bombing of north Vietnam has been intensified, and the Pentagon has finally admitted that targets other than •military objectives• may have been hit--but this admission came only after on-the-spot reports from Harrison Salisbury, associate editor of the NewYork Times. Developments on what might be called the 'peace front' are more complex. There have been the usual U.S. offers to negotiate if the National Liberation Front and north Vietnamese· will agree to surrender. These offers have met with theexpectedrebuffs,although at the time of this writing it seems that the Hanoi government may be willing to relax its conditions for negotiations if the U.S. bombing of north Vietnam is halted. It is difficult to see to what this suggestion may lead. At this point it may be useful to examine Letters to the Editor Dear Sirs: The headline on page 3 of your Nov. 25/66 issue, along with parts of the editorial, •No Discount Son•, I feel need some clarification and further thought.

ARGUS FULL MEMBER OF CUP The Argus became the thirty-third full member of the Canadian University Press at the 29th Annual CUP Conference inMontreal December 27 to 30. Other university papers admitted to full membership were the Protem (York), the Excalibur (York), the Quill (Brandon, the Badger (Brock), and the Lance (Windsor). The motion granting full membership to Argus was presented by the U.W.O. Gazette and seconded by the Sheaf (Saskatoon, Sask..). The motion was passed unan-. imously. the various agencies for peace, and evaluate their potential usefulness. 'l'here have been appeals for the United Nations to step in and mediate in the conflict--which the Secretary-General U Thant, has expressed a willingness to do. However, the north Vietnamese take the view that 'while most countries think of the United Nations as the cat's whiskers, the United States thinks of it as the cat's paw' and it is most unlikely that UN mediation would be accepted. The Pope has also offered to help in any attempt to bring the war to a conclusJ,on but thus far his attempts--such as his expressed desire that the Christmas and New Year cease-fires be extended into a general truce--have had little visible effect. The third main group which has proposed solutions for the war is individual nations and groups of nations--such as India, Great Britain, Yugoslavia, Canada, and a number of 'non-aligned' countries. However, it seems that which ever country proposes a solution is unacceptable to either north Vietnam and the National Liberation Front or to the U.S. and its allies. It appears then that the only successful moves towards peace will have to be made by those nations actually involved in the conflict and on can only hope that one side will soon take a realistic initiative. ing around a three thousand dollar deficit at the end of the year.

Dear Sir: The obligations of a newspaper editor are many and varied: his paper should be of interest to the public it wishes to reach; it should be topical, controversial and stimulating. But controversy and stimulus should remain within the boundaries of good taste. And, in my opinion, any material which specifically intends to offend is in bad taste.

They have long been pursued by responsible newspaper editors everywhere. · However, we at the Argus have always tried to keep this policy in mind. The poem in question was not reprinted with the specific intent of offending the reading public. Rather, this journal carried this item in the function of a democratic medium for individual expression of all opinion and belief. The poem was not written for shockvalue alone'. Blanche Hodder, an atheist and excellent writer, has merely stated her views. Since the immediate reading public that this newspaper wishes- to reach comprises the students and faculty of this University, such articles are interesting, perhaps educational, certainly controversial. This week the Argus literary page has followed through with another article by Miss Hodder, which should be of special interest. Although her presentation is 'the problem of morality and the atheist', it is understood that the Argus neither supports nor persecutes atheism. Goodness, we're independent!

Presidents BLAST PLAN The Spinks report, a surprisingly explosive document, has been shat upon by every Ontario University president. It's authors started out quietly in 1965 to examine postgraduate programmes andfacilities in the fourteen Ontario universities. With five new and three re-organized universities all clamouring for a share of financial grants and with the older institutions insisting that scarce resources be restricted to graduate schools at the larger universities, the government decided to invite three out-of-province referees to arbitrate. The three-man commission led by J. W. T. Spinks, president of the University of Saskatchewan, gave them more than they bargained for. It proceeded to examine the entire problem of co-operation and communications between Ontario universities. •The most strikingcharacteristic of higher-not only graduate-education in Ontario is the complete absence of a master plan, of an educational policy, and of a co-ordinating authority for the provincially supported institutions.• •we found widespread lip-service to the need for province-wide consultation, but only a few examples of effective action.• Thus Mr. Spinks and his associates challenged the entire structure of interuniversity affairs. The present method through which universities obtain government grants involves applying (separately and in secret) to the Committee on University Affairs, an advisory board which recommends to the government what allocations to make. The commission described this committee as •quite unsuited" to the task at hand. The universities •compete with eachotherfor their share of the annual appropriations, and the di... rection and rate of their development is determined not by rational and unified planning but by their individual ingenuity in securing funds.• Besides the criticism, the report made very specific recommendations. It called for three major changes: The creation of an Ontario Universities Research Council to administer funds f9r graduate fellowships and research facilities. The establishment of an Ontario Universities Library System centred atU.ofT. with branches at the research libraries of other universities so that all re- . sources would be pooled and available to graduate students throughout the province. The incorporation of a provincial University of Ontario which would be a federation of existing statesupported universities and with headquarters at U. of T. • As already stated, the reaction of the universities has been hostile. The university presidents, who had the report for more than two months before its release, made sure that a garbled version was planted with the Toronto press, whereupon most of them denounced it thoroughly. When the full report was published, Minister of Education Davis and Dr. J.A. Corry, principal of Queens University, the chairman of the committee of university presidents, dismissed its recommendations as being cumbrous ~nd complicated solutions and involved more change than was necessary to solve the problems etc. Thus the issue is deadfor all intents and purposes. Its recommendations will undoubtedly be passed on to yet another royal commission whose findings will be similarly buried. Yet it seems clear that the Spinks report has at least had a purgative effect and forced the universities to produce some alternate solutions on their own. Mr. Corry has cited the formation of a council through which the universities will co-operate in the planning of an orderly pattern of graduate education and research and a comparable council of university librarians. Coordination will be achieved, according to Mr. Corry, by strengthening the existing Committee on UniversityAffairs. On the thorny problem of competition rather ~n cooperation in requests for government grants Messrs. Davis and Corry have announced that ' the Committee on University Affairs will be strengthened. The fact that the government has never turned down an approved requisition for funds was likely a major factor in the university s decision to reJectthe report. t, Sometimes I get a fairly good kick by knocking some orP,nization which has rubbed me the wrong way, and then acceptingtheirapology. I hope Expo and her officials read this column and shape up. The other week as I was existing around Montreal I found myself at the Place Des Arts along with most of the English speaking University newspaper editors of Canada, at an official Expo press conference. In the other corner of the auditorium were most of the French speaking editors of Quebec student papers. The scene could have only been created by somesadistic, race bigot (at least that's the thought I had as I left the building later shaking). The two armed camps were introduced for thefirst time to each other as the press conference opened. All waa O.K. as a word had yet to be spoken. In fact it would have been great if they would have packed it up there, when everyone was congratulating himself for not being a racial bigot.

The Lakehead sent six representatives, two of them attending Lakehead University. Bryan Springgay, Arts II, attending the parliament for his third year held a ministerial post in foreign affairs while Jim • Purdon, Science I, attending for the first time, sat as a , back-bencher. The debate in Boy's Parl.. iament evolved around four bills presented by the Minister of ForeignAffairs,Canadian Affairs, Religious Affairs, and the Secretary of State. Manyoftheclauses in these bills were of interest to all Canadians and particularly to students in the secondary- university age bracket. In the Bill in the Interest of State, one important clause was passed. .This provided that the federal government pay tuition and living expenses of all university students as long as they meet certain require.. ments. A clause statingthat all federal and provincial legislators be required to have university degrees was deleted after heated debate. Certain clauses in the Resolution in the Interest of Religious Affairs received fiery and emotional debate. An attempt by the minister to make all future clergymen in the Church celibate was defeated by a vote of 89-9. Clauses stating that the church should institute two-year trial marriages and condone voluntary euthanasia were passed. In Canadian Affairs many controversial issues were r I :i)o passed. Forexample,homosexuality between consenting adults was legalized as were all abortions. Divorce would be granted to adults after two years of separation. • The drinking and voting ages were lowered to eighteen. In the Bill in the Interest of Foreign Affairs, the parliament passed the majparliament passed the majority of resolutions. There was almost unanimous agreement that Canada withdraw from NA TO and NORAD and that Canada should integrate her armed forces. As a solution to the crisis in Vietnam Canada is to demand the immediate withdrawal of American troops from South Vietnam and bring the situation before the United Nations. Several private members bills were also discussed during the parliament. One of these states that •whereas the antiquated monarchial system has no relevance to modem day Canada•, that constitutional amendments be made to the B.N.A. Act to abolish the position of the monarchy in the Canadian Parliament and that the Governor-General be made figurehead President of Canada. Much to the dismay of the conservative parlia.. mentarians, the bill was passed.

' Moffett's reports will be released by CUP throughout the course of the publishing year. CPS is an agency of the United States Student Press Association, with which CUP maintains a regular news exchange. An American citizen, Moffett has lived in China, Japan, and Korea, where his father is superintendant of a Presbyterian hospital. He was 1956-66 editor ,of the Yale Daily News. This is the first of a series of introductory articles written by Moffett in Saigon. He describes the social context in which the war in Vietnam, is being fought. Part I SAIGON (C PS)--Last year at this time I was writing editorials calling the American war in Vietnam unjust,. illegal and anti-democratic. I could still make a case for the last two (it has occurred to me since that a just war is a contradiction in terms). But after a month in Vietnam, I am clear on one thing: nothing here is that simple, nothing is that black-and-white. Those who talk about Vietnam in these terms, and on the other hand those who mouth cliches about defending democracy andfreedom against Communist aggression, have reduced one of the most complicated and agonizing situations in modern history to shibboleths. Worse, they have succeeded in making these shibboleths Vinually the only terms of the public debate on Vietnam. The following analysis is quasi-sociological. It may strike some as an intellectual game; I see it rather as an attempt to step back a bit and establish a frame of reference against which further analysis and interpretation may be measured. It may also suggest some of the hazards involved in basing value judgments · either on deadline press reports or on personal political preferences. It is based on three assumptions: (1) What is happening here is as important as what should be happening here; (2) What is happening may in the course of time affect what should happen, i.e., the use of power and the objective conditions to !Which it gives rise may either undermine or create a moral prerogative: morality, like power, is not static, and must sometimes be measured in relative terms; (3) Neither what is happen;lng here, nor what should be !happening here, are very adequately understood by most Americans. • • • There is a struggle going on in South Vietnam between two groups of people, each ()f them numbering several :millions: in effect they are ~o s~parate societies, co- existing within the same geo-graphical boundaries. Each is trying to organize, strengthen and sanction itself while weakening or destroying the other. Though each group numbers millions, they are both led by relatively small lites which have developed their own traditions, their own social values, and their own vested interests. The majority in each group are people who, through varying degrees of sophistication, are influenced by the traditions and values of their elite but have little stake in its vested interests. They are people like civil servants, interested in salaries and a modicum of culture, personal freedom ~nd opportunity for advancement; or merchants, interested in the free flow of trade and economic stability; or soldiers, interested in winning without getting killed, recognition for bravery and home leave; or farmers, interested in the weather, the market for pigs, owning their 9wn land and being left alone. These people have been at war for over 20 years, almost all of them are interested in staying alive. This is •not to say that the majority in each group do not particiv..9:te in the culture of their elites--they do,. and often by choice. But it seems likely that in a showdown many in either group would be willing to dissociate themselves from their own elite and exchange its culture for that of the other, so long as their own popular and private interests were not seriously threatened. In other words, the ideological and material interests of the two elites are not quite so important to their respective sub-groups, • except where expen and intense p:i;:opaganda has taken effect over long periods of time (as it has in some areas on both sides). This means that fundamentally at issue within South ;Vietnam are the traditions, social values and vested interests of two opposing elites,fighting to destroy each other's control over substantial portions of the population. are the primary weapons in the power struggle going on here at every level between the government and the Viet Cong.

It • is against the above background that one can appreciate the cruel fate which has befallen the Vietnamese people--a victim of the mistakes of the statesmen of the great powers, as well as the follies of their own leaders. • • • Both the physical war and the psychological war are being fought here at several different levels. There is a struggle to build and destroy infrastructures in each of some 16,000 hamlets. There are squadandplatoonsized engagements between local guerillas and government militia, called Popular Forces. There are terrori§t bombings at luxury hotels and in peasant markets. The Viet Cong are trying to build up troop concentrations while avoiding pitched battles in the rich Mekong Delta;- government leaders, largely through the intermediate agency of U.S. Special Forces, are trying to win the loyalty of the Central Highland Montagnards, who are generally looked down upon by all Vietnamese, Communist and non-communist. South of the Demilitarized Zone, full-fledged conventional battles rage between battalions (roughly 1,000 men each) of American Ma.rines and North Vie·mamese regulars. 'Pacification' cadres from one side or the other are at work in every one of South Viet Nam• s 42 provinces. The struggle has now spilled well beyond the borders of South Viet Nam and has become in effect a regional war. Anti-government activity is reported increasing in Laos, northeastern Thailand, and even Burma, while the Hanoi government claims North Viet Nam is about to be invaded. Finally, the international political implications for the rest of Southeast Asia--from Indonesia to East Pakistan-are enormous. And however Americans want to slice it, Southeast Asians are the two major protagonists--competing for power, influence and the vindication of ideology--as the United States and China. This, then is your simple war. It is true that American 1 warplanes are bombing and . burning and killing civilians, more than you will ever read about in the papers. It is also true that the Viet , Cong disembowel good province chiefs, or bad ones, and they do run prison camps under conditions not so far removed from those of Dachau. The only thing these two state111,ents prove is that war is hell, and modern guerilla war is worse than any other kind. What is going on here has two sides, in every usage of the word. It is not just . a slaughter of panicularly innocent, peace-lovingvilla' gers. Nor is it a particularly democratic defense of freedom against terror and tyranny from without. It is a total war. �.I___F__•i\__G_f_:_NINE ______...I ~::.~~~~~~~~~~-!~~r!~!![!DK Memorial University, st. John's, N/1.d ., December , 1965 Paperllaek Review ''What Can You Do'' From the obscure pen of James Leigh comes fresh proof that any young man, given emotional balance, a superior intellect, and ingenuity of approach, can reap year-round harvests if he cultivates the proper fields and .sows his seeds with discretion. But What Can You Do is not a guide-book for every Tom, Dick and Harry with an erection and no place to go. Rather, it is a philosophical dissertation by a stableminded eighteel)-year-old who uses psychology to advantage in resolving any and all situations. Psychology is the key. Phil Fuller (the stable-minded eighteen-year-old) uses his tender psychology to unlock sexual doors that no amount of mental battering would - destroy. Consider his relationship with Debbie Wilson, whose mother had invented 'ninety-eight ways to keep {Debbie's) pants on and still have the boys howling under {Debbie's) window/ Many young men had tried to navigate (Debbie's) passages, only to suffer shipwreck at Journey's beginnings by one or more of ninety-eight ways. Phil realizes ~t overcoming Debbie's conditioned misgivings would mean clear sailing to the harbour that he consciously and she subconsciously wants to reach, so he auto-suggestively creates an image of 'This is Bigger than Both of Us' that eventually results in Debbie's undoing (her straps) and Phil's doing ( ). Philosophy: Tell them what they want to hear and you've got it made. And then there's Mallory, Phil's English professor, the husband of a granite-visaged woman. Phil gives the professor some extra-curricular entertainment (pleasantfaced Antonia) and a sense of achievement (I'm teaching a genius!) Philosophy: Give and get. The book itself is no major stylistic accomplishment, nor does it contain any literary value as such. But for philosophical and psychological techniques, and more than a few laughs, give me James Leigh. On second thought, give me Debbie Wilson!

He brought order and the Union Jack to such far away places as China and Africa. The Sudan was his favourite outpost, and Khartoum 1t• s chief city, held his most cherished memories. But by 1884, having been away on diplomatic service elsewhere for five years, he had no real plans for returning. At that time however, a Moslem •prophet' rose up to challenge the British in North Africa. Prime Minister Gladstone preferred to let Africa go, but the public demanded action, so Gordon was sent as a gesture, with the hope that his personality might help restore peace. Alas, not so, for Gordon found his opponent as dedicated as himself; and so he laid his life and honour on the line in one final bid to avert disaster. These are the events in which KHARTOUM is set. Julian Blaustein bas assembled a marvellous cast to tell the tale. Charlton Heston gives the most refined perfor- . mance of his life, in a surprising portrait of dignity and control, as Gordon. Sir Laurence Olivier is equally magnificent as the Mahdi, the fanatic who is completely convinced of his cause and victory. The best job however, is done by Sir Ralph Richardson, who lends just the right touch of unscrupulousness, cunning and hypocritical piety to his character of Gladstone. ;}),aw60n ~ ;;;~;,;o sE;;E ;~~ L,,,,:,::;:~==--•Y.❖j:S CENTENNIAL SQUARE FORT WILLIAM PHILOSOPHY OF DRESS SUITS • SPORTCOATS - SLACKS BY MICHAELS-STERN ROCHESTER, NEW YORK OLIVER ROAD ESSO SERVICE I 2>2 ARTHUR STREET Port Arthur Fart WD1lam. 0.L OPEN , ..

From the very beginning Mao did not let himself become involved and remained throughout the stormy scenes a figure in the shadows until his reappearance in Peking in the fall of 1966. As soon as the first round was concluded, the Mao-Lin team lost no time in getting ready for the second. They employed one of the traditional communist implements--the mob. Thus students, workers and soldiers were organized as the Red Guard in order to stir up the public and get rid of their opponents. But they did not realize that the same technique was employed by the other camp until the Red Guards were out of control of either party. The term •Red Guard' was derived originally from a picture taken many years ago, in which Mao was in uniform wearing an armband with three Chinese characters showing Hung Wei Ping (Red Guard). Under the present circumstances, it is difficult to predict which side will survive. But so far this much is clear: Neither side can win with a hand of limited trumps. Each awaits the other to make the wrong move. FL ASH -1967 AUSTIN Now Available ONLY Two reports have come in as of 'January 6, concerning unusual carnival stunts.

Canadian UnionofStudents president Doug Ward suggested Friday (Jan. 6) in an interview he is getting fed up with student governments which give a higher priority to yearbooks and dances than to social change. •If I were the student press or a candidate in the UPcomin2 council elections, I wouldn't tolerate the neanderthal priorities· of the average student council• the 28-year-old CUS president said. •student councils are acting as if the issues of most vital importance to students were yearbooks, dances, model parliaments and the budget of the outing club.• The CUS chief accused elected councils of •blissfully ignoring the fact that students are being cut off for · lack of adequate preventative mental healthfacilities and for lack of decent aid programs.• Charging that potential university students are being funnelled out of further academic study by a society that •doesn't really believe in accessibility on the basis of merit,• Ward blamed student government for failing to take hold of the issues and become relevent to their electorate. •The funny thing is that when student councillors go off to the faraway CUS congresses, they do talk about the contemporary problems of society, and they pass resolutions on them. eo1np■n1 DfflllANNt ANi> IAutal',_. ..• mentation programs without achieving anything.

Another aspect of the current CUS hangups beyond Ward's control can't be licked by program outlines, newsletters and other C US publications. It's the CUS chairman's 'bottleneck' which occurs when local CUS chairmen fail to pass such material along to student government and the student electorate.
