S. leaders at Lakehead by Owen Marks Slogans painted Revolutionary slogans no longer decorate the university's tunnel walls. Ken Campbell, who describes himself as a "resident artist", is painting new designs on the tunnel walls in the evenings. They are to be "a background for the student as he passes through the hall." The new look, comprised of flowers and snowflakes and Indian pictographs, replaces the former controversial slogans which highlighted the Q;;;;·.. drab passage. Campbell said the paint might discourage more "informal" decorations. Campbell is most interested in organizing and inst~cting an art programme this fall because "the university campus is a prime forum for non -traditional forms of expression." But at present he is painting the hallway and summed it up by saying, "We don't regard this as any more than colouring the walls. Very little of it is art at all." .I - v·18t Nam w a r Ant·t,· on o n cam pu S__"___ Pet' Lakehead students now have an opportunity to voice their dissention over American involvement in Viet Nam and Canada's silent condonement of American foreign policy. Stuart Hutchison, a Lakehead student from New York, is responsible for this opportunity. The protest will take the form of a declaration to be signed by supporting students. The declaration will then be filed with the United Nations. Hutchison is a member of the Individuals Against the Crime of Silence, an organization officially registered with the U.N. SecretaryGeneral. The organization was founded in California in 1967 and has registered over 100,000 signatures with the U.N. already. Hutchison said, "The purpose of the Declaration is that it serves as a vehicle to inform people of the world today and is a permanent record for future generations that there are people concerned and angered by the imperialistic atrocities of the United States government on the people of Viet Nam." He also stressed "Canadians should have an opportunity as a concerned people to express their dissatisfaction with U.S. policies. It also gives them a chance to speak collectively over the voice of a Canadian government which is reluctant to condemn the U.S." When asked about his position with the draft, Hutchison said he had been reclassified as 1-A the day before he came to the Lakehead, but that he was not running from the draft and would be willing to serve a prison sentence if convicted of evasion. He worked with the Resistance in Connecticut and New York. The Resistance supports draft evasion and is the same organization to which Dr. Spock belongs. Two of the top guns of the American student radical movement came to Lakehead University recently in· order to inspire the formation of some sort of activist student group on campus. When they left, the only ~ing of which they were certam was that Lakehead University radicals are in s?me ways quite unique. Mike Klonsky, who is leader of the activis,t, Chicagobased Students for a Democ~atic Society (SDS), and his wife, Sue, who is on the organization's secretariat, came to Lakehead at the invitation of the student government for the evening of Wednesday, September 18. The Klonskys previously having been informed that they could either agitate or educate, had their first chance at the former when they stepped off the North Central Airlines DC3 at Lakehead Ai~..,..~ Klonakj ...-c e.dlaps becau-se oes no t usually find it necessary to wear a suit and tie in his line of work, customs officials held the two of them up for fifteen minutes after they had cleared the remainder of the flight's occupants. During this time luggage was meticulously searched and certain portions of SDS literature were liberated for future customs consumption. Once the officials were convinced that neither of the Klonskys were draft resistors, however, the two were cleared. . As ~~s was Mike Klonsky' s first vistt to Canada, his subsequent comments betrayed the same feelings a person must have when . he is frisked or arrested on the streets of Chicago while knowing he is innocent of the charge. However, once they were out of the air terminal things started to look a little better. Sue Klonsky happily noted the absence of police, an absence, she noted, which is not apparent in Chicago. Mike Klonsky was pleased that the Lakehead is quite unlike the Chicago ghetto in that it is surrounded by forests. But once Lakehead University greeted them, reality returned, and Sue Klonsky felt it appropriate to remark upon the architecture which, COME TO THE SDS MEETING! The same faint smile appeared on Klonsky's face which was in evidence when he was held by Canadian customs. However, the signs achieved a desirable end when approximately 125 of the· curious showed up in Room 1029 which suitably reminds one of a Greek theatre. . The _meeting started quietly with _Mike Klonsky giving his openmg comments, but it ended noisily, an unfortunate example of participatory dem• ocracy, with everyone in the room attacking each other. Everyone enjoyed it, however, and most noted it was one of the best meetings • they had attended in a long time.

The tent city, operating on university property opposite Hart House, is to establish a forum for discussion of housing in particular and student problems in general. Tent-in spokesman Andy Wernick, a council member, says the demonstration dramatizes the housing crisis "as it affects the student and the community." He says the university has too little residence space -operates them "like barracks" in any case -- and charges too much for student accommodation it owns on and 0££ campus. Only wealthy students can afford to live on or near the university, he says, and although" the real problem is the market system of land," the university could still build more residences, reduce residence fees ranging from $750 to $1,000 a year, and "abandon al together the in loco parentis idea." U of T president Claude Bissell, on hand Monday to inspect the tent city site, said the students were right, but added student accommodation was al ways short because university resources were concentrated on academic buildings. MEXICO CITY(CUPI) -· The Mexican army invaded the University of Mexico campus Wednesday (Sept. 18) in response to a student threat to disrupt the Olympic Games next month. Several thousand troops in full battle array swept the strike-bound campus with assault cars and apparently plan a prolonged stay. Soup kitchens rolled in after the military. The campus was fortunately fairly free of students because classes have not been held there over two months. 88,000 Mexican students have been on strike for two months protesting government repression of protests in July. Olympic Village, where all the athletes will live during the games, is just two miles from the campus. An undetermined number of students and professors were arrested after army troops moved in late Wednesday night. It was the first time in 40 years that armed troops had entered the campus which, like other South American schools, is "autonomous," or free of intervention. Javiet Barros Sierre, the university rector, called the occupation an "excessive act of force which our house of study does not deserve." He, however, has also con· demned the students for not returning to classes. The occupation followed a meeting between student leaders and Interior Minister Luis Echevaria, who tried to get the protestors back to school and desist from Olympic disruption. They refused and the meeting broke up. The interior minister later said the government had waited two months for a return to normality on the campus and troops were sent in because university authorities had no means to re-establish order. At a mass demonstration in the Mexican capitol August 27, about 200,000 people called for the resignation of President Diaz Ordaz and shouted their opposition to the Olympic games. Banners borne by marchers called Ordaz a murderer and a dictator because he had ordered police to use violence to break up student protests. Student leaders claim about 20 students were killed during police action in July. �sgus, september 26, 1968, page 2 from page one This week. • • THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 26 Academic Computer Services Committee - Board Rm. 10:00 a.m. Cambrian Players rehearsal - Auditorium - 7:00 p.m. Alumni Association Meeting - Board Rm. • 7:30 p.m. Mathematics Student - Faculty Reception • Faculty Lounge • 8:00 p.m. - FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 27 AMS Elections Cambrian Players Rehearsal • Auditorium • 7:00 p.m. Arts Society Dance - Great Hall • 9:00 p.m. MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 30 Cambrian Players - Auditorium - 7:00 p.m. WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 2 Cambrian Players • Auditorium - 7:00 p.m. All events subject to last minute change---for further information phone the Department of Information Services, Ext. 300.

The Paris student revolt and the occupation of Columbia University in New York set everyone to thoughts of revolution •· could it happen in Canada? University of Toronto president Claude Bissell, back from a year's sabbatical at Harvard, led public discussion on how to handle Canadian student activists. He said Canadian students would not revolt in the same ways as Paris and Columbia, but would tum their attention to sit-ms and marches. The universities, Bissell said, had about two years to get the jump on student power and outlined plans for increased student involvement in university government as a method of avoiding confrontation. He then proceeded to offer U of T students seats on the president's council and establish a committee to study structures and purposes of the university. On May 26, the council of the Canadian Association of University Teachers unanimously censured Simon Fraser University for "continual contravention of accepted principles of university goverance,. -- and administrators sat down to watch a Canadian university in revolution. The board of governors at SFU reacted quickly to the censure and by the end of May president Patrick McTaggartCowan was put on extended leave of absence. All sectors of the university had demanded his resignation. Then the SFU student society got into the act. In a referendum June 3, students voted 1361-289 to demand the resignation of the board of governors. A proposal for a week's moratorium on classes at SFU failed when it fell eight per cent short of the required two-thirds majority. Students agitated for more power in the selection of SFU' s next president. They asked for, and received, veto power over the choice. Since May, SFU has had three temporary presidents and the board is now defining procedures for selection of a new one. Action continues on other fronts with committees established in numerous depart. men ts to study methods of democratizing all aspects of the university. Reactions Reaction to the student revolt took many forms. In July, Canada's university presidents held a secret meeting in Ottawa where they said they had discussed plans for their annual conference this fall •• but a note found in the meeting room afterwards indicated talks went a little farther. The note said, "Tactics-how do we react, as individuals, collectively? How do we act as individuals, collectively? And, in a press conference after the meeting, representatives of the presidents discussed the causes of revolt in Canadian universities. They blamed themselves for creating it, saying they had increased demands for power by implementing the recommendations of the Duff-Berdahl report calling for increased student and faculty involvement in university government. On individual campuses, moves to stave off student revolt gave students seats on committees, senates and boards. In addition to U of T, the University of Alberta, Ryerson and colleges conttrolled by the United church made prov1s1ons to place students on their highest governing body. Yet, few people believe this will head off trouble. At the Canadian Student Affairs Association conference in Calgary, a meeting of officials involved with student affairs, talks did take place about what could be done to pacify activist student groups. But the problem which seemed to bother delegates most was the questi9n of whether or not city police should be called in face of trouble at campus. Regression The summer had its fair TINY TIM SAY: TIP TOE TO THE COMMERCE Warrian, president of the Canadian Union of Students, plunged briefly into a student council debate to condemn "the incompetent bourgeois press" and explain what he really said. The oft-misquoted passage, he said was: "Some people say that this is the year to sock it to the administration and sock it to their buildings, but we must also take it to the students, knowing that democratization and liberation are achieved not by manipulations of the few but by the struggle of all." There is distinction Warrian said, between "advocating violence and creating a framework in which violence can be discussed." The student fees fight, initiated during registration week by four Trinity College students to withhold $12 of theii fees--the portion turned over to the student council by the university. compulsory parental aid. Late in the summer, the province announced it would institute spot checks to prevent cheating on the loan forms. In July, the national defence department announced establishment of military chairs at five Canadian Universities. The department will provide up to $250,000 to support each chair. The program, shrouded in secrecy, is supposed to "enable study of international and . national security in a Canadian context." Student leaders immediately criticized the plan as a "military invasion of the university" but were stymied in attempts to determine the real design of the program.

However they have had little response. U of T student president Steve Langdon condemned the campaign as "totally irresponsible and reprehensible." "The council has a total commitment to non-violence a commitment that has always been made," Langdon told the four protestocs. "You are using the bogey man of violence to chase away the necessity of change.

AT ARTHUR AND ~ �propagan - The Administration of Lakehead University "tells it like it is.·· Garbage! In speeches and news releases the Administration distorts issues to their advantage. If something can't be distorted, it is suppressed. For example, the news release of September 14 reads, "Mile-long line-ups, sore feet and writers• cramp are no longer symbols of registration at Lakehead University. With the aid of the new •mechanical brain', the university's IBM 360 computer, Registrar Don Ayre and his staff have worked out an efficient method of registering each student in record time.·· Hans Christian Anderson couldn't have written better. In reality, registration was no better than last year's mess. The Administration tried to counsel every student in about a week. Lines stretched out, forms piled up, and students couldn't choose their own "elective" courses. The registrative process began at one end of campus ahd ended at the other. When classes began, registration tables sealed off the tunnel. This new method may or may not be speedy, but it is far from ''efficient". Another statement, from the same news release, says, "the housing shortage has been met adequately although there is still a need for more apartments and houses." How can the situation have been "met adequately" if there is "sti II a need for more apartments and houses"? Nor are the distortions restricted to news releases. In a speech to frosh artsmen September 16, Dr. Tamblyn warned the students of the dangers of radicalism. He said a minority group could possibly direct the students towards radical action, if the students were not "involved". "The answer to minority rule is majority participation", he explained. The ARGUS couldn't agree more. If more students got "involved", if there was "majority participation", then the Administration, which is a very experienced, articulate, and powerful MINORITY, would no longer rule the student body. But for students to get involved they must understand the university. And to understand the university they must know what kind of "news" and speeches to expect. These are designed to pacify -- to cover up the truth with cheery phrases about the university's wonderful progress and ideals. So long as people think everything is fine, the Administration is in a very secure position. lf the students protest, public opinion will turn against them. The public won't realize there is anything to protest.. .. letters to the editor Arts society luncheon Sir, To a serious musician, a discordant note jars.

Many Black Illltn coming back from Viet Nam, will not stand back idly and see black communities destroyed while the suburbs remain untouched. Mr. Kramer also believes that the logical extension of the present police efforts in places like Chicago will be the lessening of non-violence among the anti-war groups. There is a difference between an analysis of the end product of current practices and an open espousal of violent overthrow of the American Government. Except for the editor's introduction, which was misleading, the article was interes ting and informative. Sincerely, Larry M. Anderson I listened to remarks made by our University President. Then Ron Baker came to the rescue. Let me say here that I am in total agreement with Ron's criticism of the nature of the President's speech within the framework of what can be termed a "proposed introduc• tory social". It was clear to me and others who were present, that the Society was used - that the Society merely created a most effective opportunity for the Administration to subtly lay down policies, thus instilling a certain measure of reservedness and "fear of victimization" in the new minds - giving them no chance to analyze and sum up university life in a rational way, and limiting individual thinking. Too much does this re• semble the calculated strategy of authoritarians, capital• ists, power holders in their attempts to keep "lesser .folk 1' in submission. It makes me wonder at this stage, for what purpose the luncheon was organized. Certainly, it did not create the welcoming and "getting to know you" type of atmosphere one would have expected. I feel it necessary for me here to pinpoint some of the disturbing remarks made by the president. Revolution! He said some people feel that current world problems can be solved by revolution rather than reason. He added that violence does nothing but breed violence. He failed to make it clear that revolution does not necessarily indicate violence. Such a statement tends to create in young minds a fear of the term revolution -- a desire to shy away from anyone or anything revolutionary in concept -- making them less susceptable to changes that are current and necessary in our society. This is hardly what we expect the university to do to us. Further, he implies "reason" as the best and only real method that can bring about urgent and well needed solutions. But of course, Mr. President, this is the ideal. This is what we want to believe. But does not experience and study of existing situations show us otherwise? Could we reason with someone who enjoys authority and controlling power to give up some measure of this or to give those whom he considers "lesser" enough power to be on a par with him? Could the anti-Viet Nam War demonstrators in the U.S.A. ever hope to make their ideas felt by reasoning with the government? Could Castro have reasoned with Batista? We would like to believe that our problems can be successfully thrashed out around the table, but we would only be attempting to fight a battle on a field so well known and controlled by those in power. -Winston Rennie, Arts I �argus, septamber 28, 1968, --- GREAT HALL - CAFETERIA page 5 �--- ------ sgus. september 28, 191RS. page u Mexico students threaten O/yn,pics MEXICO CITY(CUPI)·· around the capital city. of Mexico, has called on the Mexico City College students The students are demanding students to return, leaders have threatened to disrupt liberation of political priso- feel the strike must continue next month's Olympic Games ners, dismissal of three Mexico despite expressed sympathy unless .they win concessions City police chiefs, disband- with Barrios Sierra.

Headlines in newspapers have it that loans to students to attend - university this year are going to be more difficult to obtain and in fact, one newspaper put it bluntly, that there may be no more money in the fund to loan to students. At best, a student and parents are subjected to the embarrassment of a very stringest means test. The loan is granted according to this means test and when granted, the loan can range from $100 to $900 ( more in some cases). The first $150 is repayable along with 60 per cent of the next $750 or a total repayment of $600 out of the $900. However,. when we scrutinize something else that is happening in our society and make a comparison of the position of our governments on this matter with their policy on students' loans, we get some glimpse of how unequa! people are treated in our just society. Rightly or Wrongly, the Ontario-Minnesota Pulp and Paper Co. Limited which is a subsidiary of the huge Boise Cascade Corporation, were recently issued a forgivable loan (a straight grant) of $117,000 and some odd dollars to erect a new sawmill in Kenora. No means test was applied and none of the loan is repayable. On the basis of need, as applied in the means test for students loans, Boise Cascade Corporation couldn't qualify for any assistance. This corporation's earnings after taxes (profit) in the year December 31st, 1967, were 28.3 million dollars. Their accumulated earned surplus (profits not paid to shareholders in dividends) was 122.3 million dollars. They They only paid out 7.4 million dollars to their shareholders in dividends and retained almost 21 million dollars of the profit in the Company. Now I ask you, when the comparison between the two is made, are we being fair with our young people? Could givable loans to industry a little more, make less of these unnecessary loans to che industry and assist people who are attempting to get an education? Are we not having too much juice squeezed out of the lemon by industries which can well afford to expand without government help? I am not opposed to loans to industry where such is needed but I am opposed to our government giving huge corporations such as this one, a Joan of any kind. This corporation can well afford to expand without loans from government. If we are to apply a means test of our university students, then I sugge st we should also apply a means test in these loans from the Ontario Development Association. Wh;~~~t u~ed that 70 new jobs will be created in the Kenora area th rough th is grant, I suggeS t that Boise Cascade could well afford to erect the mill without taxpayers' assistance. I also suggeS t that 117 of our young people being assisted by a $1,000 grant in order to get education would be more beneficial to our society than giving a grant of $117,·ooo to a corporation, which, in actual fact, if the same criteria was followed as on student loans, would not be entitled to such grant. It seems to me we have socialism for the rich but capitalism for the poor and industrialists do not seem to be opposed to socialism when it is being used in th•eir favor. J. G.

RIO DE JANEIRO(CUPI) •• The Brazilian government has been forced into educational reform by country wide student protests and eruptions. Some 3,000 students in this city last month occupied the city centre and paralysed traffic for hours. Occupation of several Brazilian universities has been a favorite tactic all summer. Reagan denounces black militant LOS ANGELES(CUPI)--The appointment of Black Panther leader Eldridge Cleaver as lecturer at the University of California in Berkeley has roused California Governor Ronald Reagan to demand the black militant be fired before he ever reaches the lecture podium. The University's Board of Regents, meeting at UCLA, faced a decision Thursday (Sept. 19) whether to overrule a faculty group which approved a student proposal for the course on racism led by Cleaver or to bend to the Governor's pressue. Reagan denounced the appointment as "quite an insult to the people of California," and said an overwhelming amount of mail indicated that they were "fed up". VOTE One of the Berkeley professors in charge of the course, Edward Sampson, said Cleaver would appear no matter what the action of the regents. He said the lectures would be held off campus if necessary. Cleaver is currently free on bond charged with assault with intent to commit murder after an alleged two hour gun battle with Oakland police. lltl5of 111otm.T.a1 ON SEPT. 27 )as X PERCY V.P.

This year's schedule will include intramural and intercollegiate volleyball and basketball and fitness classes. Fitness classes will begin October 3 at 9 p.m. and will include overall body condit ioning, cardiovascular conditioning, relaxation technique and personal exercise programs An instructors' course in swimming begins October 9 at 8:30 p.m. in the Port Arthur YMCA. As well, Miss Kangas will offer modem jazz, modem dance and rythrnic gymnastics starting in November. Miss Kangas says her spe- cial interest is gymnastics and afthough she feels most athletic facilities at the University are adequate she thinks it definately lacks gymnastic equipment. She says she will offer any sport that interests the girls and is within the university budget. She is also willing to give individual coaching for the upcoming Winnipeg track meet.

Tadashi Miyabe came to Canada when invited to speak before the WUS seminar on The University and Revolution at Edmonton (September 2 • 6). He was asked to visit campuses across the country following the seminar. Before coming to Lakehead, he visited Toronto and Montreal. Mr. Miyabe was surprised at the priorities of students at the WUS Seminar. "I was surprised," he said, "Because many students at first talked about changes such as university reform, seating on the Board of Governors, six out of 40 seats, --or whatever, However they soon become aware that the theme of the seminar must be Revolution AND the University •· not revolution in the university." "We realized that we are living in a revolutionary situation in that rapid changes are occurring. It is not a gradual change which is occurring but a e;hange of system. How, we asked, are the universities involved? Are we just living in an ivory tower?'' "At this point", he said. "Many students began to point out dissatisfactions, uneasiness with irrelevence of their university courses." "Thus we must ask: What is the content of our education? Some of the campus groups have begun to establish free university courses as a direct challenge to irrelevent courses. Some of the humanities students questioned whether courses will be relevent to the world about them •• to living thinking." "We live in a society which suppresses people. We often see this supression in authoritarian measures in the universities. It is not merely a matter of structure or form. The students try to make the present system upside-down.

This is the form they suggest. The issue on content is that supposedly living in a technological society, science ( technology) really liberates people •· works for their good. But is science subjugating us?" "We do not need scientism," he said. "We need science which will attempt to free men from • the enslavement of labour." "Society should be ruled from the bottom by the people, for the people. Many students are looking at their own navels. They must see that university affairs are many layered. The local issues must lead to national and international issues. We must see this correlation. Issues must not be of interest only to a certain group of people. Certain basic prol>lems (urbanization, etc.) must be seen in an interdisciplinary way." Mr. Miyabe spoke about National Liberation Movements, and their importance in our society. For the most part, his comments were based on observations ma,de while in Quebec, for he had had the opportunity to study this movement there. "This is a big problem not only for Canadian students but for other students around the world," he said. "Last night I was in Detroit where both black and white students are involved in movements to free themselves, to humanize themselves. National Liberation is basic to our contemporary system. Japan is involved in the Vietnam war. We have more than 140 military bases used for attacks on Vietnam. Our ports supply USA warships. Military treaties make us feel powerless. ONTARIO STUDENT AWARDS Tadashi Miyabe at infonnal gathering Democracy is not working. We cannot effect our system. Japan is attacking indirectly Vietnam, but we are not only assailants but victims, because we feel we cannot stop it. We cannot just criticize the USA. We must also criticize the Japanese government. We must attempt to liberate ourselves. We must not only criticize •· for our very being might be supporting and allowing this situation. For the Vietnamese it makes no difference who oppresses them. We must question ourselves as lo whether we have any right to threaten another person's countries, or try to control their destinies. We must also try to liberate ourselves from others." "We should take this same position on National Liberation," he added. There are three key issues confronting students, according to Mr. Miyabe: urbanization, democratization, increase in numbers. Throughout the world, student unrest in urban areas can be attributed to these major causes. Mr. Miyabe compared Quebec to his home university in Japan. "Some once COMMERCE TELLERS MAKE GOOD FRIENDS be labled as separatists," he said. "This is no longer true. They look upon themselves as people who wish independence, to be themselves. Mr. Trudeau is not popular among students in Quebec. They are not against the Anglo-Saxons of Canada. They want as much as the rest of the students in Canada to liberate themselves from the United States." "Canadians have such fancy settings," he continued. "You do not have so much to complain about. My university has 40,000 students. Tokyo has more than 20,000,000 people within a 31 mile radius, more than 100 colleges and universities, and more than 600,000 students. Quality of instruction is poor. The population in education has tripled since 1945. Our professors copied the elitist European system. Student • professor ratio is 20-1, but professors commute from one college to another (for money). Classes are up to 500 people. Seminars will have more than 30 people. Seldom do students meet or associate with professors. Students often commute to and from university. I commuted for 40 minutes •· and this was very good. I knew a student who travelled three hours each way. Housing is really bad. Students might have an apartment nine feet by six feet. If all students showed up for classes, they could not fit into the room. Students often work to support themselves. People with high grades might get scholarships. Japan is a very vertica1, authoritarian, closed system."

The meeting was called to inform the student body of a demonstration to protest in• adequate bus service. The .. demonstration was to be held Monday, September 30. The students were to "fill all Port Arthur buses to capacity and remain upon them all day" and picket the Public Utilities Commission Building. The AMS would try to cancel all classes Moi;iday. At the general meeting, however, the students would not support the demonstration plans. Councillor Simon Hoad put a motion to the students that "the result of negotiations with the PUC are unsatisfactory" and that the students proceed to de- monstrate on Monday. But the students voted the motion down. They then passed two motions: one confirming confidence in the AMS Councif and one asking the AMS to form a committee to carry on negotiations with the PUC. The AMS Council had talked with Transit Supervisor George Hunter Thurs• day. One of the AMS rep• r~entatives, Dennis Wallace, eKRlained, .. All that the PUC would concede is hourly service to the book• store." The AMS had previously resolved to demand half-hourly service, and to ask the stud en ts to demon• strate if this service were not given. At present the, buses stop a half-mile short of the university every half· hour, coming the full distance at irregular intervals. Mr. Hunter described half• hourly service as impossible. He explained, "The schedule is so tight that we couldn't make it." Several students disa• greed. Karl Goodwin said the extension of the Oliver Road bus service to the Bus survey page five University would take only three. minutes each run. He added, "On two occasions I timed the bus waiting at St. Paul St. One was twelve minutes; the other was eight. Both were during peak periods." Several students agreed. One said he had been riding buses all last year and "never once saw a bus wait less than three minutes" at the terminal . Students walk half a mile to catch this bus. A.

Canada's greatest value What started out as a simple presentation of speeches ended up in the · confusion of an extremely heated discussion. Mr. E. D. Kowel, President of the Young Progressive Conservatives for Ontario, and Mr. L. Bernier, M.P.P. for the Kenora Riding, along with Mr. D. Allan, another Y.P.C. member, appeared in the University Centre Friday, September 27 to address interested students. Only about forty people in all turned out to hear these speakers, and of those present about half were students. Mr. Bernier was the first to speak. He expressed an interest in hearing the viewpoints or grievances of the young people so these could be communicated to officials in Toronto. He explained, "We want to lxing you into the party and to show you how the Pro gressive Conservative Party operates, how you can voice your opinions. Then your ideas can be channeled directly into the mainstream of the policy makers." He said, "nobody used to listen to the ideas of youth, but that this is changing more all the time." He said, "The whole movement goes back to when President Kennedy was elected. This generated a new look to the younger people in the United States and across the world. On June 25 Pierre Elliot Trudeau was elected Prime Minister of Canada. Our own Premier Robarts was elected when he was fortyone years of age." At this point he introduced Mr. Kowel, who he said was a successful lawyer and had been in politics for a number of years. Mr. Kowel began his speech by talking about the disenchantment of young people for society today. "Young people", he said "are rejecting the goals of their elders. They are rejecting the general course that the elders have chosen for our country, as seen in the United States as well as many other countries around the world." He also said that too mu.ch is taken for granted by young people including edu- cation, and that the responsibility is being placed on society. He said "We owe it to the state and to our elders to be responsible in what we desire." "When one group takes upon itselr•, he added "the desire to infringe upon the rights of others we then enter into a state of anarchy and this is not in accord with our ideas of democracy. The rights of any and all minorities must be protected:' The McCarthy supporters in Chicago were used as an example. "He (McCarthy) exemplified the desires of many young people across the United States in the dissatisfaction with the war conducted by the United States in Vietnam. This was a very strong vocal eloquent well-reasoned group of people. But, by their conduct at the Democratic Convention they have lost whatever influence they may have had upon the policy formations of the United States. Had they raised their case as they had previously to that Convention they would have remained a very strong and active force and influence upon the Democratic Party and the United States." Mr. Kowel said that young people do not want to take over the government but that they would like to exert an influence on its policy making. "I want to make it clear that when we get the ball we want everyone in the ball game. I ask the seniors to work with us in this game.•• He emphasized the fact thatprogress cannot be made merely by dissent; "one cannot go ahead by looking in a rear view mirror, but you must look ahead." The meeting was then thrown open to discussion, which was anything but dull. The discussions centered mainly on the problem of student aid from the government. Mr. Allan sparked an argument with the words "At least some of you came to heckle. I went to political speeches when I was young to heckle." Karl Goodwin immediately replied "I came here to see if I could eat. I didn't come to heckle. My God!" "Why don't you apply for welfare?" was the reply. Turning to politics one member of the audience asked Mr. Allan "What has the Conservative Party got to offer me as a voter?" Mr. Allan began by saying he was interested in young people not on_ly as voters when Mr. Kowel interiected "What have you to offer your country? We're going to provide the means by which you can offer yourself." The meeting went on in this manner. Many students felt they were not given suitable answers to their questions. Arguments be· tween members of the audience developed as well. _ Mr. Bernier, Mr. Kowel and Mr. Allan, having just completed a tour of North· Western Ontario, lef.t fot Toronto last weekend. Psychology students form committee Psychology students and faculty are forming a committee which hopes to become the decision-making body of the psychology department. The first meeting, held September 25, was initiated by graduate. students. The meeting was largely dominated by students, with a few faculty members in attendance. One graduate student described the purpose of the committee as "to facilitate communications between the faculty and the students." The exact powers of the com- mittee have not yet been decided. Chairman of the Psychology Department, Bill Melnyk, supported the students' move. He said, "A lot of the staff have the fear that students are going to be irresponsible when they are given decisions, but they're not." For the Finest selections. A.

National Committee, spoke on Thursday Sept. 25 at a meeting in the senior lounge. ,The meeting was to acquaint students with the ideas and goals of W.U.S.C. (World University Service in Canada). Mr. Anderson described W.U.S.C. as an organization of students and faculty to promote understanding among universities in different nations and to provide aid to university students throughout the world. It provides scholarships for black students in such areas as Rhodesia who are exiled from their home countries. He went on to say that the traditional forms of fund raising were being abolished because it was felt that people were getting too involved with the fund raising and not concentrating on the other areas of W.U.S.C. At a meeting at the University of Alberta, members voted to remove Treasure Van which provides funds to run the national office. The national staff had cone entrated too much on making Treasure Van more successful. In 24 months Treasure Van will no longer exist. They also voted to remove Share Week, which obtains monetary donations from various campuses to support the work" carried on by W. U.S.C. A resolution sponsored by the Universities of Montreal, Toronto, York and Western Ontario called on W.U.S.C. to "take p_ublic stands on matters of domestic and international political importance". From now on the concentration will be on political education and international understanding. This will be done by the· presentation of films and speakers. The resolution also demanded that W.U.S.C. put pressure on the government and the community to raise public concern over domestic and international problems. This would include bettering the situation for Indians and putting an end to housing discrimination against international students. In the discussion following, Mr. Anderson's speech, several people offered to get involved in W.U.S.C. and to come out and work on TreasureVan, as it is still to be held this year. After the meeting, entertainment was provided in the tradition of Lakehead University: records, dancing, and a very busy bar. The meeting was well attended, with about 150 people coming out. Larry Anderson photo by Lummi ss Another enchanted mid-autumn festival submitted by the Chinese Student Organization CHU YUAN CHANG the Chinese hero The most interesting and outstanding event of the Mid-Autumn Festival is perhaps the "mooncakes". These cakes are round, and four to eight inches in size. They are filled either with mashed lotus seeds and ground flour of green peas, or with sweetened ground chestnut paste. Sometimes dried yolks are put inside the cakes to add mcxe flavour. There are many legends about the Mid-Autumn festival. One of these is the romantic story of the beautiful princess who flew to the mooh in order to escape her cruel husband. Another one is the legend of the lanterns and the evil spirits. However, the most interesting and touching one is about Chu )uan -chang---the national hero and the first king of the Ming Dynesty. The story goes as far back as the world famous Mongol Emperor, Kublai Khan. He was the leader of the Mongols-a race of unenlightened barbarians but born savage fighters. During these times China was under the rule of the Sung Dynasty(920-1279). The Sung Emperor, Tu-tsung, was a highly cultured man, but an inept sovereign. He entrusted the government to an unworthy minister and some greedy politicians. Seeing the weakness of the Chinese Emperor, Kublai Khan sent his huge army across the Great wall and invaded the Sung Empire. Despite the superiority in arms and numbers it took the Mongols more than eight years to end the courageous Chinese resistence. When the conquest was completed, Kublai Khan made himself the Emperor of China and soon behis Ion march into the Middle East and Europe. For the first time, the whole of China was in the hands of a barbarian conqueror. The Chinese people were, naturally, unwilling to be governed by an alien dynasty. They began to organize underground resist• ance against the barbarian rule. The Mongols, on the other hand established harsh laws and codes upon the people. Each Chinese family was forced to support a Mongol who dwelled with the family. These so called "family guards" were to keep the-govemmen t informed and suppress any insurrection right from the very start. It was at this critical time that our hero Chu Yuan-chang was born (U28). He was the son of a poor farm labourer. In his seventeenth birthday, an epidemic carried off his entire family. In order to live, be entered a monastery. The cloister, however, did not satisfy his ambitions. For, like every patriot, he wanted to revolt against the uncivilized rule. Therefore be abandoned his monastery and became a beggar, turning by natural transition into one 'of the rebels. His physique and perserverence soon gained for himself a place of authority. He soon became leader of the insurrection. Unfortunately, Chu Yuan· chang was confronted by a very serious problem. In order to driye the Mongols out of China, he needed a popular uprising simultaneously throughout the country so as to take the Mongols by surprise. But how could he inform all the people? We must not forget that every family was under the close watch of the •family guard'. Any wrong move would be disas terous. Ingeniously, Chu Yuan-chang thought of a solution. It was another enchanting Mid-Autumn festival. As usual people went out to the bazaars to buy their mooncakes. But strange things happened when they cut their cakes open. Instead of the ground flour of green peas, they found the message from Chu Yuan-chang: "It is the birthright of the Chinese to govern the barbarian and not of these latter to rule ourland. Haveno fear, heaven is on our side. The time has now come to drive these foreigners out of China. Kill your house-guard tonight when he is asleep. Pick up your swords and 'join the revolu• tionary army tomorrow," -, By the following dawn, the Mongols lost thousands of house-guards. They also found themselves facing a strong, organized angry Chinese army. Thus the war beganWhenever Chu captured a town, he forbade bis soldiers to pillage it, with the result that the inhabitants hailed him as a liberator who freed them from the Mongols. His battles were triumphant, for the imbec• ilicy of the last Mongol Em· ... peror had made the task of the liberation an easy one. At the age of forty, this unfrocked monk who started life as a pauper, became the liberator of his country and the successor to the heritage of the Han sovereignity. Today, when we celebrate our Mid-Autumn festival October 6, we al ways remember Chu Yuan-chang, the courag eous hero whose revolution was made possible by the sweet, delicious mooncakes. �The bus gam.e The AMS Counci I was embarrassed. They really didn't know what to do. They had passed a resolution demanding half-hourly bus service. They had decided (on paper) to demonstrate because negotiations had proven unsuccessful. But they were not sure. In keeping with the resolution, the general student meeting should have been a rally . to organize a demonstrati.on. Instead it was an .. unofficial" meeting (the students had no power of decision), which was nevertheless chaired by the "impartial" Chief Justice, Rene Larson. Is strict parliamentary procedure needed to .. inform the student body of the course the AMS will take"? Not a chance. Council was running away from its own decision. And a very foolish exit it was. They stood in front of the student body as elected leaders and showed themselves as incapable of carrying out their own decisions. Yet after the meeting they retreated to the Board of Governors Room where they unanimously voted confidence in themselves. What sort of game is Council playing? Their decisions are meaningless. Is this to be their attitude in the future? The bus issue is not over. The AMS has a committee to carry on negotiations. Several independent student groups are getting involved. Most students at the general meeting were dissatisfied, although they wanted to give the PUC a chance to improve the service. If the bus service isn't improved drastically, there might still be a confrontation. If that confrontation occurs, the student body wi 11 look to the AMS Counci I for leadership -- not confusion. letters to the editor A cavity to fill .

CUBA - FAST! letters to the editor 6 6 deliberately did not vote'' Sir, I deliberately refrained from exercising my right to cast a vote at last Thursday's A.M.S. elections. Further I thought it necessary to explain to your read• ers the situation in which I found myself and why I acted as I did. This could to some degree represent the feelings of many other 'Frosh' students at Lakehead University. The disturbing fact was that twelve days here did not and could never have given me a functionable under• standing of life at this institution. It couldnot give adequate knowledge of individuals to the extent where I could seriously prefer one to anotherin any given situatim. Posters just kept materializing on the walls, flashing the need to vote for what to me were just names, some indicating rather undesirable campaigning tactics that are fo be found in the world of politics 'playing'. I wondered what was goingon. Were these simply by-elections to fill certain vacant posts? Or were they the annual general elections of the A.M.S.? I was never able to get a satisfactory explanation of the procee<1ings. For the past week, I've been speaking occasionally with a particular student. On Friday night at the Arts Society'dance• he approached me and said, "Congratulate me, I got in." Only then did I realize that at baptism he was given one of those 'flashed names'. Then there was the incident of Kaz. Almost brainwashed by his written name, I inquired as ·to who he was Immediately a large picture of a bespectacled chap was indicated to me. That was the end of my know• ledge of Kaz Miyata, until I met him at the Argus office the following day. How could I vote? For whom was I to vote? One student attempted to come to my aid by indicating to me on a ballot sheet the •good guys•. I was irritated. By-elections or general elections, I could not under- stand the rush. Couldn't more time have been given, so that proper campaigns could have been wotked out? ••• so that first year students could have had a solid opportunity to assess the political situation? They would then have been able to give justice to their voting rights. I would recommend to the A.M.S. that serious consideration be given to this -for forthcoming years. Winston Rennie Arts I Artsmen not apathetic Dear Sirs: In the recent nominations for representatives in the Student Athletic Society (S.A.S.) council, thirteen members for the supposedly AP ATHE TIC Arts faculty stepped forward in the much needed fashion to help. This constitutes over 70% of the council, with the remainder going to University Schools with about 20%, and a very slack 5% or one representative to Science. Although seemingly over• balanced with these AR TS students the S.A.S. still has~ excellent council because all of these people are extremely keen, diligent and qualified to help run Student Athletics along with their executive. Therefore, let it not be said this year by any condescending person that the Arts faculty is apathetic, at least not with regard to sports. I remain yours truly, Bruce Brymer, President Student Athletic Society Curly - tailed friend Dear Sir: In truth sir, the pictures of THE PIG on pages one and five of the Sept. I 7th issue of the Argus were disturbing. Since the pig was hauntingly attractive, it seems a shame that she could be destroyed; her remains, probably her left ear or her left hind hoof, being employed in one of the cafeteria's hamburgers. In order to prevent such an eventuality, may be suggest that a P.I.G. (Piglovers International Group) chapter be set up on this campus. The chief purpose of this club will be to prevent the destruction of the pig pictured on the pages of the Argus.

Racial strife closes Trenton high school TRENTON, N.J.(CUPI)·· Trenton High School was closed Friday (Sept 27) after racial strife threatened to erupt in violence at the school. Trenton, a troubled school closed four times in the last nine months over racial incidents, was only one of three New Jersey high schools plagued by student boycotts. Roland Daniels, black principal at Trenton, closed the school after fist fights broke out in the school. Across the street, an angry «rowd of boycotting white students threatened to chase out of a part a smaller group of black students who had come to make peace. The white boycott, involving several hundred s'tudents wearing "Wallace for President" buttons, is in its second day. The protest centres about alleged beatings administered to whites by militant blacks. Nearly 2,000 of the school's 3,000 students didn't even bother to show up for school today. Leaders of the boycotting whites and several black stu· dent leaders met with Governor Richard J. Hughes Thursday evening in an effort to reach an agreement that would allow classes to resume next week. There was no report from the meeting Friday. The high school was closed once last December because of fighting 'between whites and blacks and again in April after TREASURE VAN will be here MON. - FIJI. Oct. 7 - 11 veyed by the press.

The inspiration for the school came from a local teacher who had experienced a working free school in Britain some two years ago. There has been a considerable amount of social pressure against this type of learning situation as it differs so greatly from the normal regimented type of school : Parents, Mrs. L. Wolter, principal of the school, said, were becoming exceedingly printing, one was typing on the big letter typewriter; all on their own volition. The boys were quite responsive when approached individually. When asked what he I iked best, Mikko said, .. I don't have to bring milk and I like the phonograph and slides". One said he liked to do m1mbers· another I iked "the ant colony, the fish, and the book about rabbits... Karla K.austinen, another grade one youngster, said rather jubilantly that he liked ··everything". The boys and girls are separated in Grade 1. Mrs. Wolter explained, "'girls quickly grasp certain rudimentary proced- by Bob Leggett and Wmston Renniephotos - Alan Roblin ures such as printing, addition, etc. The boys apparently sense this and do not strive to acquire such fundamentals as rapidly in a mixed group. A boy who does achieve the same level may be ostracized by his fellows and labelled as a sissy". The grade 1 girls' class had much the same type of atmosphere. The furniture was casually arranged and there were all of the usual number charts, and letters of the alphabet. In the back, some girls were making orange sauce. One I ittle girl told us that she could read all of the 100 or so books. She probably could, judging from the way she sped through Mother Goose. Once again some students were busying themselves with printing, addition, subtraction and reading. Others were watching slides on the projector in the comer. One girl, Sarah, was transfixed on the phonograph for three or four minutes, I istening to a record. It wasn't until the record was finished that she turned and said to one of us, "Wasn't that nice? I would like to hear We've got to beat this transportation problem. ' -.,. concerned about the academ'ic welfare of of their children. However, this concern is being partly alleviated by the open classes. Parents can watch pupi Is at work and in this was gain a better understanding of the methods adapted in this type of education. The community has shown a lot of interest; Mrs. Wolter said reactions were varied. She said, "We are setting up a steering committee to study the Ha II-Denn is report... This committee will be compri'sed of people in the community plus teachers and school administrators. The pupils seemed to be very unconcerned about a stranger's presence in the room. They al I had something to do and went about it in their own fashion. In the boys' Grade 1 cl ass, young fellows were feeding and studying the ·rabbits in a cage off to one side. In one corner was a record player and slide projector. One pupil politely explained that this was the .. quiet corner" but that noisiness was allowed in the other three corners of the room. Another looked quietly at the rabbits for the longest time and then went to a desk to draw a picture of them. A boy was busy counting with numbered blocks, another was "I woula like to hear my voice on this thing.•• my voice on this thing... We Jater learned that Sarah was an avid singer and listener, and often entertains the class. The children are taught and encouraged to operate slide projectors, phonographs and al I the other apparatus they have to use. They are not required to request permission to leave the room but are al lowed to leave and enter the rooms as they wish. In fact, some children go into other classrooms to see a friend or to help with some project. ..I've got it here. It's all in the book.•• The pupi Is are responsible for keepi-ng .the halls clean after lunch periods. They also ring the bel I and distribute milk to their classmates at lunch time. The obvious question that comes to _one'smind after being there for a few hours is, "What are the teachers here for?" Mrs. 1 Wolter explained to us that the school is based on the very simple principle that, "the chi Id is the most important here; what he wants to learn is our primary concern." She said that the teachers and pupi Is all learn together. One of the most striking things about Gre4:!n Mantle is the way. a pupil accepts his classmate's knowledge, even ·though the particular student may not be at the same level in a given subject. One boy in grade two was patiently assisting his friend who was doing phonics. Michael, a bright grade two pupil, was almost the class guru. His fellow classmates came to him for assistance in clearing up certain ,detai Is. They accepted his knowledge with involved discussion, but very little dogmatic quarel I ing. In the kindergarten three boys were working together in the carpenters shop, a corner given over to woodworking. They were having difficulty in fastening a block of wood in the vice when Monty from grade two stopped in and showed them the proper way to do it. In a few minutes all three of them had mastered the technique and were trying their hand at their new found trade. _ In one of the grade two classes, two girls were correcting each other's additions and discussing their mistakes. Green Mantle's casual and personalized approach to school work has developed a school of diversified interests; where each student finds at least one activity he I ikes to do. However, through the process of socialization, with classmates, a student usually will go on to other subjects. According to Mrs. Gwen Nyman, a grade one teacher, some students may lag behind in subjects such as Reading. By the completion of grade one, however, eac~ student is usually reading at the "required level .. and in some cases, we witnessed the students reading at grade three level. Some of the Grade 1 boys, when asked what they liked best, agreed unanimously on "work'•. When asked what work was, they differed considerably. Some defended .. work" as 'painting'; 'writing on paper'; �argus, october 3, 1968, page 7 Of Green Mantle or 'making things'. They decided that all other activities were play. According to one of the teachers some of the pupi Is have told their parents that they don't do anything but play. Needless to say, some of the parents were rather excited and dismayed at their chi ldrens' reports. Each student at Green Mantle seems to possess an abnormal amount of self-responsi bi I ity. Mrs. DoneHy said that last year, she was late for school and when she arrived in the class, all the children were busy at some type of work. In fact the cl ass was at such a norma I n oi se Ieve I, engrossed in writing. Michael, a grade two pupil, was the most noticeable of al I the 'bright' or 'advanced' pupils. He had started reading some months behind the normal level in an ordinary school. After one month in grade two, Michael was using the encyclopedia set -understanding and remembering what he had read. He explained to us, using the encyclopedia, the values, traits and nature of al I iga.tors. On the same page of the book was a picture of an allasaurus which he pointedly explained was smaller than the taurasaurus. Unemployment in the future? The disturbing part about the situation in Nipigon is that these' children wi II leave thi.s 'free atmosphere· and enter a traditional public school in grade three. When askabout the problem of the children adjusting to an ordinary school, Mrs. Wolters said that they hope each pupil will retain some of the self-motivation and independence he has gained in the previous three years. A regimented school can no doubt also produce creative, advanced and well adjusted children, but the question is how many? How many students like Michael or Monty, a grade two pupi I who wrote the following story. The story is in book form consisting of eight pages, with each page illustrated and in large type letters. It was written \ast year after his father had scolded him for losing his coat. It read as follows: THE LOST COAT "Once upon a time there was a little boy. He went off the school bus and went home. He threw his coat in a corner of the closet. Then a I ittle dog took the coat and a big dog took it off him. The dog catcher pretty nearly got the big dog but only he gpt the jacket. When the dog catcher was driving he went near a playground. A man put the coat in the garbage can. The boy looked in the closet but there was no coat. He looked under the bed and he looked and looked and looked and looked. He went to school with a winter jacket on and he sweated." Monty Sly Grade One. that the other teachers did not realize she was absent. Creativity is one of the most stressed aspects of the school's role. All the outlets, materials and facilities are on hand for each c1Ji Id's use. Some of the paintings were particularly good. One Grade two boy said that he had written 76 books last year and that one student, Monty, had done well over one hundred books. In grade one, a boy made a large crane from a mechanic set. It worked by reeling in the boom on a piece of string which was connected to a crank. The pupils, at various times of the day, sit in a circle rn the centre of the room. One pupil will show his work. He will answer questions about it and hear his peers offer various suggestions to improve his creation. The children who seemed to blossom in this type of situation because of its nature were many. One boy who had failed grade one in a traditional school, had become Kenny, who is in Michael's class, told us that when he reads to the class he has to use the 'baby book'; the prescribed grade two reader, but that he could read the other 'grown up books' on his own. The most striking aspect of the Green Mantle .school is the air of contentment which seemed to prevail throughout its inner-sanctum. Nowhere did we experience a crying or sulking child. Most of the students were obviously very happy. Alexander, in Kindergarten, could only be described as jubilant. All the students seemed to be at least adjusted and content. The lack of superfluous rules is another main feature and to a great extent is probably responsible for the type of child we found at the school. Mrs. Wolter said that the school would ideally produce children who will not feel a failure in comparison to others but will be independent and selfresponsible people. �The NJotion of Another Day The maddened god Spins me aloft withal with all The silent swinging ecstasy of early morning Sings a violet of house hurled Violently tree upon the windows Strides a whirlwind Upon her neighbor.

"The Administration promised us that if we agreed to the Great Hall being used as a cafeteria, that given ample notice, the Great Hall can be cleared out for any event that we migh( have in there. We've had several events in there since this started, without having any problems. Also it's more pleasant to eat in the Great Hall than the cafeteria. "We did have trouble with the student-faculty reception in the first night because there wasn't enough manpower, and we had to do half the work of clearing ourselves." "I think it's a good idea. There is more room. You're not as crowded. They can still take the tables down and use it as a hall." LORNA CAMBLY Nursing "They haven't got enough space downstairs, so I know it's working out upstairs, where it is cooler and lighter. A lot of kids are now reading there. I have been fighting poor ventilation all summer. I think that within half an hour, they can have the whole hall cleared and chairs stacked. I have no objections to card players and readers, but in a community, they should respect the wishes of others. If there are any personal complaints, students can knock at my door. If there are any serious complaints, we can take it to the food committee. I will guarantee that regardless of circumstances and lay-out at present, my staff and myself will do the utmost to make the best of a bad situation." BOB GUDE Cafeteria Mgr. PETER McCORMACK AMS President "It's a good idea because the cafeteria facilities are not adequate as they stand. Access to food is still a problem because the main courses are served only in the main cafeteria, though the situation has been partially remedied by the lunch bar. "One question that arises in my mind is what are they going to do when they want to have a dance, or to use the Great Hall for anything that will necessitate them moving all the tables and chairs out of here at the expense of. the student? The lower cafeteria downstairs should be used primarily for people who want snacks and not for reading and playing cards. The student lounge is available for this. The only answer is a larger student lounge with places for them to play cards and sit around. The lower cafeteria is like a dungeon anyway•· no windows, no ventilation, and above all, it's unclean." TOM SMITH "I think it's a good thing. It alleviates the congested area found in the main cafeteria. The cafeteria should be meant to be a meeting place, as well as an eating place. In past years the Great Hall has been vacant four or five days a week, except for weekend Animal dances and ping pong players. Although we are now using the hall, there is no excuse for not planning ahead to have a cafeteria which is capable of seating students enrolled in the university."

JOHN'S, Nfld.(CUP)-· A boycott of the formal admission ceremony for freshmen at Memorial University has led administration president Lord Stephen Taylor to threaten all 16 members of the student council with tile "gravest personal consequences'' interpreted by council members as expulsion. Taylor made the threats Friday (Sept 20) after council had told freshmen to boycott Saturday's admission ceremony to protest the university's arbitrary placement of students into a "foundation year". The foundation program requires- students who are weak in some subjects to take a term of remedial work before registering in first year courses. Only 250 out of the 1500 students showed up at the formal ceremony. Normal attendance at the affair is about 50 per cent. Council had asked · that students be given the ffoal choice of whether to take the foundation year. In a show of hands vote at a general meeting, the students supported this. by a majority of 10-1. De scribing the council's actions as "wicked and evil", Taylor said: "Your fathers would be ashamed of you". Earlier this summer, Taylor told two student councillors that any leader of a campus The difference between demonstration would be expelled.

Mustangs are optimistic" I Lakehead Mustang coach Bill Shannon is tremendously optimistic despite his team losing it's fourth game 28-0 to the St. Vital Bulldogs. Shannon was especially pleased with his defensive unit which in fact pennitted only two of St. Vital's four touchdowns. The coach also commented that the Pony defence had completely stifled St. Vital's game plan. With a few added moves, Shannon hopes to contain St. Vital's speedy pass receiver, Bryner and thereby stop their major threat. With the upcoming game with the St. James Rams, Shannon 1s confident of victory. He commented that his players are edgy and very ready for that game. Practi_ces have become extremely v10lent with fights almost breaking out due to extra hard hitting. The coach doesn't plan to keep on Ram fullback Robinson, who scored all of their points in the last game. Shannon said he doesn't think Robinson is that good. In short, the Rams had better watch out as the Mustangs are hungry for victory, and with this being the key game of the year, the hunger pains are becoming severe. - Shannon COOCH'S CORNER by Larry Hebe rt UNDER QUOTABLE QUOTES David Young: "If you can't be an athlete be an athletic supporter."

There will be awards for individual as well as team achievements. Top bowlers, male as well as female will form an inter-collegiate team to compete against colleg~s and universities in the United States. Bowling will commence at the Big 'M' Bowl on Saturday afternoons at 4 p.m. For this purpose the Big 'M' Bowl will give the university a cut rate for the games •· 40¢ per game whereas normally it costs 55¢ per game. The intramural league will be sanctioned through the American Bowling Congress and the Women's International Bowling Congress. This will entitle participants to addition- • al recognition for outstanding range from diamond rings for perfonnance. These awards perfect games (who knows?) to colorful chevrons for 'impossible' spares, triplicates etc. In order, that we might get any sort of budget from the A.M.S. we must have an excellent turnout.

W.G. Sumner writes about thf power of the crowd over the individual, the irrationality of societal mores, and the nature of mass movements and manias. "Untrained people. form strong convi.ctions which have long and firmly been held without evidence, and they offer to others the firmness of their conv1cuons as grounds for accepting the same faith without proof. Ritual acts and observences which others can see, also conduct and zeal in prayer and singing, help this transfer of faith without or against proof," says Mr. Sumner. It is necessary to examine both the SDS and the student power platforms by reference to verifiable facts and your own personal experiences to avoid being swept into a mass movement, willy-nilly, out of • reflex radicalism and unexamined motivation. A few good questions to answer to your own satisfaction are (1) what is the purpose of a university and (2) why did I come to university? These are difficult and for me they lead to further questions and trail off into uncertainity. Even this uncertainity is useful to the extent that it helps one reject simplistic and dogmatic answers. I would like to express some reservations I have about the student power movement. Some of these refer in particular to the September 18 meeting and others are comments on the trends in stu• dent power and youth movements in general. Alledia One of the experiences which has made me skeptical of press coverage and the mass media treatment of youth movements was the presentation of "the hippie phenomenon". Anyone who was involved with the hippie communities in Toronto and Vancouver knows that the media misrepresented them 'to such an extent that they c;ouldn' t recognize themin their reflected image in the press and television. For one thing, hippies didn't call themselves hippies. They were not as confident or well organized as the media first represented them to bea hippie didn't have all the social, political and philosophical implications of his life style worked out. Nazis sell Negro / contr~I equipment TRIANGLE VA.(CUPI)-· The former American Nazi Party is now selling guns by mail in anticipation of a Negro uprising, according to the Washington Post. The group, says the newspaper, is offering by tele• phone, direct mail and advertising sale of what it calls "Negro control equipment" ranging from not guns to chemical MACE. William L. Pierce, assistant executive officer of the National Socialist White People's Party, will not just sell to anyone. "As long as it looks like a legitimate order, we go ahead and fill it," be said. But if it looks suspicious, be checl.s with police. "We tend to attract unbalanced people, the kooks, you know,•~ he added. According to the Post, the Nazi Party offshoot has sixteen active members in the United States. Nor are hippies as woebegotten and sickly as the selective treatment of the media would indicate-a hippie isn't always riddled . with syphilis, hepatitus, and a yearning to return to the office job. From this evidence I can only conclude that the media consistantly missed the point. It served their purpose then to have a jubilant community of non-conformists. It now serves their ends to have a beaten and repentant band of deviates. ' The reporting of student power on campus has been no more accurate. You are left with a choice of believing what you see with your eyes, or what you read in newspapers. For me, the media just makes it more difficult to understand the reality of what is going on around me. Pigs with them would be identical wi_th regard to the student movement. Many present didn't think so. The non-economic aspects of the · Canadian society are just as important in determining our quality of life. Many of the distinctions drawn bet ween our nations are marginal ones, but I can see the process of independence growing and it promises a confrontation with the USA which will shake relations "between our countries to their foundations. Even in the forming of student movements we seem to be looking for a unique Canadian style. If tradition is to be a guide, the short history of student movements would suggest that the Canadi an students will employ less violent methods to support their demands. Relevancy The method of the status The relevance of university quo seems natural enough. studies is part of the dogma Insurgency is to be met with of all student movements. counter-insurgency, action Is a course in anthropology or with reaction.

ST.JAMES Furthermore, from what I understand, this all-encompassing emphasis is motivated bv bad faith. As the SDS speaker explained, it was brought about through the disillusionment with the sufficiency of former demands. Campuses where students have won the power to hire faculty, set their own courses, and sit on governing bodies, are still producing graduates to man American military research programs and generally joining the ranks of the other "established evil forces". Therefore, says the SDS our aims were not comprehensive enough. We have to strike at a broader base, change the society fran the bottom up instead of concentrating on the university level. What they are saying is that they no longer ttust students to make their own decisions, even when they are enfranchized to do so, because some students persist in using this power to make unenlightened choices of career. The SDS, apparently, will only respect another person's freely made decision when it coincides with their own. This is what I call bad faith. Lest the reservations I've expressed label me a reactionary, I'd like to fill the picture in. I am in no way satisfied with the quality of my past education and I am not pleased with the way my university education is being conducted for me. I realize there are two useful purposes for "higher learning" as far as society is concemed--to keep me off the labour market at present and to shape me so that eventually I fit into a slot in the esta• blished order. . . This realization disturbs me. I hope to be able to work toward a social change of broad scope in re-structuring the educative process, and I feel frustrated and impatient to get on with it. I haven't yet decided on a channel to work through, and from where I sit, it appears that the SDS will be of little help in the achievement of these goals. In the meantime, I am examining all my committments and regarding suspiciously anyone who would exploit me for their own ends, including the SDS. It is a difficult time and place to be a student.

The Senate sub-committee, concerned with re-organizing the senate, heard a brief presented by representatives of the A.M. S. council. A.M.S. President, Peter McCormack, explained that at this time the students were seeking representation on the senate sub-committees only. Another point in the report was that the senate sub-committee meetings be open to the student body. The committee members held reservations about student representatives. During discussion following the report, Dr. Asimi wondered, "How are you going to ensure that · a few represent• atives will represent the many shades of view of the student body?" Peter McCormack stated that the A.M.S. is now in the process of dialogue to ensure the representation of the students. Dean of Science John Hart questioned whether the students were formally asking for equal representation. Missi Powell clarified the point: "Yes on specific committees." Dean Hart felt that students might not have enough experience to work on certain subcommittees. Simon Hoad mentioned, "It's fully expected that once representation is obtained, students will have to do a lot of work, a lot of back work, so they don't go in cold." A major point raised by Dean Hart concerned the -possibility that the "internal dialogues" within the university between the student representatives, faculty, and administration would consume too much time. Certain members of the administration responsible for the "external dialogue" between the university and the Dr. Tamblyn al lows students into the Board of Governors room to present brief. provincial government would be unable to effectively compete with the other universities for money. Dean Hart described the provincial government as "the people who essentially are going to control the direction of this university." and he questioned, "Do you think that this university would have got this far if the organization had been as you suggest?" The council members asserted that it would. The general purpose of the senate reorganization is to set up a committee structure and'take away some powers of the administration. Until now, the senate has operated without using a committee system. Dean Hart said the university has just reached the point where there are enough faculty to take a greater part in administrative activities. "Where does all this now leave student representation?", was asked. Dr. Tamblyn replied, "The committee will consider it· the committee has many other proposals to 'con• sider." Mr. Melnyk, Psychology Chairman, remarked that the basic principles of the sub-committee and the students are the same. Another meeting was proposed with the committee after it has made its recommendations to the senate. �argus. -october 10, 1968, page 2 This week. ■ ■ THURSDAY,OCTOBERl0 Treasure Van • Senior Lounge • 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Athletic Advisory Board Meeting• Board Rm. - 12:15 Gen.

The proctor force committee report was also passed. Proctors, forming a student police force for student functions, will be paid two dollars an hour. The chief proctor will get $2.50 per hour. Another col,111Jiittee reported that unless the yearbook has 75per cent of its advertisements by November 1, the Nor'Westeiwill not be published this year. The meeting lasted four hours. There was one abstention on a motion to adjourn. Bus drivers may strike Port Arthur bus drivers may strike next month if present negotiations are not sucessful. Student demands for regular bus service to the university apparently have nothing to do with the negotiations. The bus drivers are asking for a 15 per cent increase and more manpower. The Public Utilities Commission have offered an eight per cent raise and has agreed to hire more drivers. A spokesman for the PUC, Wayne Tocheri, said the bus drivers "have a legitimate beef and all we have to do is Nevv Year's Exams Christmas exams are no longer Christmas exams. They will start, ''where applicable" on Monday, January 6, according to a supplement to the University Calender. The supplement, which is stacked neatly in the Registrar's Office, has changed the date of examinations from December 13 to the new date to facilitate the Science Department's move to the Centenial building inDecember. "This moving," Dr. Tamblyn explained, "would in some ways disrupt certain classes before the Christmas Holidays."

That is why we have a con• ciliation board negotiating the meetings." A.M. S. president Peter McCormack said, "I think that Port Arthur bus service is adequate but I don't know much about the Fort William service." Council agreed to accept hourly bus service last week after attempts to organize a demonstration against the PUC failed. The next union meeting will be October 28, when a strike vote could be taken. "In order for it to be legal," said Mr. Tocheri, "a strike can't occur until 10 days after the meeting."

Yet the major decision-making bodies of Lakehead University are closed to the general student body. The students cannot even see how decisions are made, let alone "participate". Recently the AMS Council has strengthened its stand on closed meetings. The council has removed its representatives from the Athletic Advisory Board, which holds closed meetings. Requests for representation on Senate committees have been accompanied with demands that the meetings be open. And sti 11 there are no changes. Why should such meetings be closed? What is there so poisonous to students that it should be hidden from them? Students do not want to disrupt meetings. All that is requested is the freedom to sit in at such meetings and observe. The people who make decisions that affect students should be accountable to students. Their actions and abilities should be clear. Any governing body which works for the good of the peopie it governs can lose nothing oy showing the people that work. The Senate of Lakehead University governs academic affairs. The Athletic Advisory Board of Governors is the highest control! ing body in the University. All three hold closed meetings.

With classes split up as much as they are this year, many students are compelled to eat two "meals" of tasteless •··· ( the reader is asked to fill in his choice of four letter word). So we bitch a little, barf a lot, and make no positive steps. The cafeteria is run by Versa-Foods. Who hired them anyway? Are we under contract to them until "malnutrition does us part."?

Is their only responsibility to the students putting up catchy signs telling us to clear our garbage off the tables or else? l'= What about the garbage we are served? . Why can't the University take over the cafeteria and hire a manager to run it? Bob Gude, present manager, is working to capacity, but within the limits of VersaFoods, how far can he go?

As one who has just recently entered these hallowed halls of learning as an adult student, I would like to speak on behalf of those who are cynical enough· to think that they might someday make a buck out of their struggle for education, even while hoping to get an occasional taste of fleeting pleasure during the occasional moments of creativity that the courses can, in spite of themselves, irovide. I have seen myself in the role of a bright eyed idealistic leftist proudly marching down Yonge Street denouncing Vietnam and President Johnson, stoutly braving the taunts (with my fellow heroes) of the Edmund Burk society and the Canadian Nazi Party whose combined forces must have numbered twentyfive, all the while I felt slightly taller and nobler in the eyes of my fellow men who were not also marching on this Saturday afternoon when I really had nothing better to do. I have also known the deep and boundless joy of earning my daily bread by the sweat of my honest brow for the princely sum of $75 a week before deductions as every night in my prayers I thanked my employers, the government of Ontario, and particularly John Roberts for their limitless generosity in enabling me to maintain such a princely standard of living. So I am perhaps justified in feeling threatened by those who would remove marks and degrees from the University and deny me that slip of paper which reads B.A. to take to the establishment and say look (I who you sneered at and paid in peanut currency have made it. Admit me). On a less cynical level would you want your appendix removed by a man who never had to take a test? Why cannot someone press for the legitimate aims of student rights, advocate to control their own affairs such as what they want to study and what criteria they wish to be measured against and leave such ideals as overthrowing the capitalist system to the- nuts who believe that eight hundred years of political evolution beginning with the Magna Carta can be changed overnight for the better, while a new culture and society might take another day. Oh well, someone has to be bourgeois. Robert Macleod Arts 1 • simon says. • • Happiness is getting up early to work, after an evening of debauchery and then falling asleep on your couch. Canadians are as much masoistic as the Finns. Our perversions however are related much more to our technology-oriented surroundings. The Finns attempt to wreak havoc on the internal body chemistry by the simple extremes of heat and cold. We wreak havoc on our minds by enduring stress of an unpresidented order once a week. This fact may not be too apparent to regular movie-goers, but tum over in your mind the films you have last viewed. Weren't they consistently mediocre? The watch-dog of mental health, the bladder, warns us against such films. By internal pressure, the bladder reveals the turmoil in the mind. We must heed the warning and once we have been forced to leave our seats, never return. A case in point is the movie "The Green Berets". A movie so consistently bad from start to finish that individual criticism of its most glaring errors makes the specious assumption that a better product is possible. Only one comment, before I empty my bladder.

Dennis, co-author of the HallDennis Report on Education, drew two capacity crowds at Lakehead University Thursday. He spoke first to an audience of professional teachers and educators and later to a meeting of the general public. Mr. Dennis approached his audience in a personal manner, abandoning an outline of the report and attempting to convey the "sentiment mood, and conviction of the report." He set up the imaginative situation of himself as teacher, the audience as a class of children and then posed the dual question: What am I as an educator going to do for you? Whatdoyou expect to get here today? Throughout his speech he then contrasted the answers to these questions with reality. Mr. Dennis gave his personal evaluation of society as a string of adjectives: pluralistic, mobile, explosive, productive, organized, specialized and materialistic. The people of this society and necessarily its t:hildren, are materialistic, opportunistic and seff indulgent. Canadians, as a people, lack conviction, courage and colour. We are not known for our deep philosophic thought. We have replaced philosophy with utili~; w~ lead cl~an e~ficie~~• functional, and sterile hves. With this cnt1cism in mind, Mr. Dennis expounded his ideals, what he wanted to do for the children in his classroom, what he wanted to give them. First he wanted to give youth skills in pro• blem solving. Maturity is more specifically defined as the possession of just such skills. Further, the proble~s to be solved are not arithmetical, but personal. Children must learn how to live successfully in an ever depersonalizing, dehumanizing environment. Secondly, Mr. Dennis hoped to encourage "Positive attitudes towards change". Change has become a cliche in our society. Children will have to be flexible and adaptable enough to handle it. Personal qualities which permit such a positive attitude are self-discipline, a sense of freedom and a sense of responsibility. Finally, he would endow children with two complementary talents: critical _judgement and a compassionate and understanding heart. tI~re he is arguing for the development of both mind and spirit. The pith of Mr. Dennis' persuasive argument is this: Where in our learning programs a~e we building this into our children? The contrast ~a•••• __,.. ..- 414 Victoria Ave,.

Learning must take place in between hopes and reality demands deep soulsearching and critical examination. The HallDennis report is the examination; he asks of liis audience the dialogue and discussion. Educators and parents today are too busy to help children with problems, to give them the skills they need .to handle problems themselves. Our school systems are authoritarian and punitive. Teachers order, teachers threat• en, teachers deprive. In no way do these methods encourage responsibility, freedom or self-discipline. Again, do educators have time for compassion?

Love, in the sense of concern and ~o-operation, in the sense of "I invite you to learn with me." The learning process is a sensitive human experie.nce. It is an individual experience; a teacher cannot enter into it. When a teacher tries to evaluate it by grading, he interferes with the process itself. The learning experience is a continuous one. It refuses to be programmed. Disorders, untidy and beautiful, it is perverted by curricula. To be able to control this new environment a teacher must be skilled in technology, sociology, political science, and pedagogy, as well as the classical subjects, and must teach with all the enthusiasm and professional com• mitment he can muster. The teacher must be given new freedom in the classroom. Legislation controlling educational policy must be flexible and open-ended. The observations and suggestions to this effect in the report itself are concrete and specific. Few people will challenge the sentiments expressed by Mr. Dennis. But, the sentiment itself is valueless and dangerous. Those who have listened to good will speeches, to appeals for patience, soul-searching and discussion until all action is stifled have ciJl instinctive distrust for such appeals, no matter how eloquent. My own suspicion increased when in response to questions from the audience Mr. Dennis stated that he was not hoping for leg• islation and implementation so much as discussion. Pleas for patience are met by the antagonistic stares of those who are forced to go through the educational system as it stands now, authoritarian, repressive and punitive. The only thing that comes to he who waits is old age. ju.s. Army surveys N.W. The United States Army Corps. of Engineers is in northwestern Ontario. An official leak has it that they are surveying the Albany River basin area with the intention of proposing a major water diversion scheme of Northern Ontario waters within the next eight years. William Sheridan, of Technocracy Inc., stated "we would consider it to be a very small, piecemeal effort." His company has proposed that a lake the size of Lake Superior be formed by careful construction of dams in a huge semi-circle west of James Bay. The proposed Lake, Lake Albany, would be as big as Lake Superior, which is 31,810 square miles. "It would be the biggest projected artificial lake in the •wor Id", said Mr. Sheridan. He added that this proposal has been presented because "it repre• sents the optimal development of this area by providing transportation to the far north, climatic modifications, flood and erosion control, vast hydroelectric power potential, extensive recreational develop· ment and ample water di version for agricultural and industrial developments in areas to the south." The Federal Power Com• mission of the United States estimates that the demand for hydro-electric power alone ~I~ nearly triple by 1980. With this in mind, according to Mr. Sheridan, • "Lake Albany be• comes more than a proposal; it becanes a necessity."

FREDERICTON (CUP) - Dr. Norman Strax went to court Wednesday (Oct. 2) to answer a summons for contempt of court only to watch adjournment of his case until Thurs. afternoon. He appeared before the court of the Queen's bench in St. John after a lengthy discussion and vote by the thirty students sitting-in in his physics buildin~ office. The sit-in is heading into its eighth "day at the University of New Brunswick. Meanwhile, all eight graduate students in physics have demanded Strax's reinstatement to the university. In a letter to administration president Colin MacKay and physics department head Allen Boone, the students said Strax "has proven to be an excellent teacher" whose "academic credentials are unquestionable". They viewed his suspension as a "punishment for non-academic activities" and charged the best interests ofUNB students have not been considered. They demanded Strax' s reinstatement and "meaningful guarantees" that "such incidents will not occur in the future". Strax was suspended from his duties Tuesday (Sept. 24) for "obvious reasons" - interpreted as his activist predisposition and agitation in an ID card protest two weeks ago at UNB. He was summoned for contempt of court after he refused to obey a court injunction World's shortest CA aptitude test. □ Problems stimulate me. □ Problems upset me. If you want to earn a living in a field that constantly offers new and exciting perspectivesnew problems to solve-consider the work of the Chartered Accountant. The CA has to grasp the essentials of many different fields, and have the independence to form objective opinions about them. He's more in demand than ever before, by corporations, non-profit agencies, government bodies at all levels. Why? Because the increasing complexity of business requires new concepts of factgathering, problem-solving, and communication of economic information. The CA, for example, is one of the leaders in planning new ways to use computer systems. He might also be called upon to weigh the relative merits of social programs in terms of available resources, helping to shape an urban renewal program. So if problems intrigue you, and if you have aptitude for concentrated, meticulous, creative thinking, you might make a good CA-in a public accounting firm, in industry, education or government.

Harper of Fredericton, Vince Kelly of Toronto and John P. Palmer and Eric L. Teed of St. John. The lawyers failed to have the trial dismissed on procedural grounds but procedural hassles forced adjournment. The administration made a formal plea Wednesday night to the demonstrators, asking them to abandon the sit-in, but they refused. Wednesday afternoon, Strax and his counsel attended a board of governors sub-com• mittee hearing at a Fredericton hotel but left after an hour. Kelly and Harper charged the sub-committee was conducting a "kangaroo court". Sask. students protest loans REGINA(CUP) - Over 1,500 chanting University of Saskatchewan students marched here Wednesday (Oct. 2) to protest problems in student loans. They wanted answers from Prime Minister Trudeau (here to unveil a statue of Louis Riel) and provincial premier Ross Thatcher. Some students had seen the demonstration as a chance to force Thatcher to make good on his summer promise to close Saskatchewan's uni versities at the first sign of activism. The students, the largest student demonstration ever held in this prairie province, were mainly from the Regina campus of the University of Saskatchewan but over a hundred Saskatoon demonstrators travelled to join the march. The crowd followed a huge Canadian flag and bristled with signs reading "Toss Ross (Thatcher", "We want loans", "A free university in a free society" and "Just society just for the rich'". Trudeau told the students they were "selfish'" to ask that student loans be made to all academically qualified stu· dents. Trude au then said governments just can't go ahead and print money and said society as a whole bears the financial burden of education. Seeing his comments were bouncing off the demonstrators, the PM retreated behind "education is a provincial matter -- I'm sure you get the message" and tootled off to the airport. Thatcher never appeared but an aide said he would speak to the students "at a later date". At that point, however, he wanted to see Trudeau off at the airport. Trudeau spoke to the crowd for about ten minutes. Dave Sheard, president at Regina, presented a brief to Thatcher and Trudeau outlining student concern with inadequacies in the student loan program. Afterwards, Sheard said be was disappointed with Trudeau's reply but was happy with the turnout and conduct of the march. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Council voted unamimously last week to approach the student body .. after W.R. Petryshyn submitted a report on the 32nd CUS Congress held in Guelph in August. Petryshyn, one of the six Lakehead University delegates, urged that this university "immediately cease its relations with the Canadian Union of students and nullify any and all financial support to the Union." "The Union has now progressed beyond simply being elitist and non-representative," he stated in his report. "By accepting a number of policy statements this year. CUS has made itself into the vanguard of revolution against American imperialism and against a capitalist corporate organization ,of society." Petryshyn, who was not present to defend his report, concluded by saying, "I evaluate CUS to have become irrelevant to the Canadian university students it professes to represent," Councillor Bob Gibson then proposed that a referendum be taken. The motion was passed unanimously. AMS President Peter McCormack ·said the referendum would be held when council is . finished going over the CUS motions. "It will hopefully be held within a week," he said. supports cus McCormack hopes the students will choose to remain in the CUS. ''Lakehe ad University in its isolated position and at this early pedod in its growth cannot afford to be cut off from the action in Canadian Student affairs," he said. "If Lakehead University is to disagree with the activist policy ot CUS, that rather than drop· out of CUS, it is up to Lakehead University to work towards changing the direction of CUS." Mr. Pet,ryshyn stated in his report that he was greatly in favor of student involvement towards progress and change in Lakehead University. "What I cannot accept is our involvement in a UBion which vocalizes only one basic vtewpoint for all university students without having obtained indication of the political wishes of the majority of students it pretends to re• present. The mass of students have never authorized CUS to be a political spokesman for them,., he said. yell and hoof Missi Powell, vicepresident of academics and delegate to the Congress, disagreed with this viewpoint. "If you were to leave an organization because you believe it is intrinsicly undemocratic or bound by tradition by its very nature to a political philosophy to . which you can not subscribe, then I believe that leaving is justified." "But this is not the case with CUS. There is no committment made in its con• stitution to following specific policies of socialism, capitalism, Communism, or fascism. The policy of CUS 1s the policy of its members." In answer to Mr. Petryshyn's charges that members of the Congress tried to "yell and hoof down moderate speakers" Miss Powell said, "There were both moderates and conservatives at the Congress. If they were not heard it was because they did not speak. The CUS Congress was based on the rules of , parliamentary government. Therefore the arguments that the more conservative elements did not speak because they were not allowed to speak on the basis of thei, political tendencies is dearly untrue." While supporting the motion to issue a referendum to the student body, Miss Labor -supports loans PRINCE ALBERT(CUP)-The Saskatchewan Federation of Labor voted (at its annual convention here last weekend) solid support for student demands for a fairer and more equitable loan plan. The federation also recognized the "continuing harmful repercussions" of the provincial government's invasion of university autonomy. The grqup supported the university fight for autonomy and academic freedom a tmg the need for government action to "restore the confidence of academics, students and the general public in our university" . Supporting docmnentation pointed out that 64.1 % of employed Canadians were blue collar workers but only 85% of the Canadian student population · was drawn from that sector of society. The main barrier, said the union, was the high cost of postsecondary education. Powell emphasized that "the political tendencies of a union are just that-tendencies. There is no irrevocable committnient made. If you disagree with the tendencies, the course of action is opposition not withdrawal." Lakehead University's membership fee of $2000 is due the end of this month, but Robert Gibson said. "We will not be pressured by the financial obligation into making a hasty decision."

The tournament was fought in miserable weather, rain and wind soaking contestant~ and affecting long shots. But coach Shannon said Lakehead weather Jll(epared ·the team. Shannon was pleased with the way the team adjusted to the Peterborough golf course. Team members are all ex• tremely long off the tee, but the course is short-with plenty of sand traps. So, the team couldn't use their long reach and had to work hard with their irons. Rookie team member Dennis Halabecki got off to a poor start, scoring 88 the first day. But he blazed ahead with a 39-89-78 for the final 18 holes. Coach Shannon credits this ten stroke improvement with putting the trophy in Lakehead hands. With the Ontario Intercollegiate championship firmly at Lakehead for the second time in a row, coach Shannon has set his sights a little higher. He is hoping Lakehead will present a major threat at the U.S. Intercollegiate Championships' scheduled for Minneapolis next spring. University C.o mmittee open University Committee meetings in future will be open to observers. A motion to open up the meetings was overwhelmingly passed last. Thursday. . reter McCormack, President of the A.M.S. ongmally moved that meetings of the committee be open". Discussions were then directed to the rephrasing of McCormack' s motion. Alan Alexander of the Psychology Department proposed that the motion be worded: "that meetings of the University Committee be open to observers, and that those obserers may be allowed by a majority vole of the Committee at any time to speak." Mr. D. W. Morgan, Director of Development, suggested the addition: "Where briefs are to be presented, they should be placed on the agenda three days in advance." The new motion, comprised of both Mr. Alexander's and Mr. Morgan's suggestions, was then passed. Speaking on the motion, both President Tamblyn and Mr. Morgan expressed that advance notice should be given by students who want to speak on any issue, provided the committee recognizes him. However, the motion passed allows an observer· to speak on any issue, provided the committee recognizes him. �- argus, october 17, 1968, page 2 This week.

The author, a native d France, was is Paris throughout the disturbances. The second part will appear in two weeks It began on May 3rd .and surprised everyone. Daniel Cohn-Bendit said later that he and his friends had been planning it for next October. The French were slum• beriog, while a man of 78 kept telling them he knew better what was good for France. •'Nothing ever happens in this country, the French are bored:' a well-known columnist had just written in "le Monde". How could these be "objective conditions" for a revolution? Politics: Stale Water Hopeless immobility would describe the political situation then, On May 13th. 1958 De Gaulle had been given the leadership and in 1965 he was legally (with 46% of the vote) reelected for another seven years. With De Gaulle deciding by himself about all major questions, with the mass media in his hands, with a weak and unattractive and separate communist-andsocialist opposition, parliamentary democracy had become a meaningless game. May was going to bring democracy down into the streets. Economy: A Crisis Who could have told that a modem, reasonable· prosperous country with a strong, gold-guaranteed currency, all of a sudden would count ten million workers on strike? But France was also a country with half a million unemployed with very low wages for most workers and high profits for financial capital. For many years the worker's wages had increased much less than the National income. The last blow was an unpopular government decree about Social Security in Summer '67. Io the next months some n~ significant forms of strikes appeared in such tough places as Redon in Bretagne . and Caen in Nonnandy; they were organized without or against the trade-unions' delegates and led to clashes between strikers and police. Universities: Dynamite The universities set the rest on fire. Among their numerous problems: MASS EDUCATION: One knows about it when sitting on the floor 10 lecture-rooms! In 67-68 there were 6,000,000 students in France, 300,000 of them in Paris. CENTRALIZATION AND AUTIIORITARIANISM: The obsolete academic system gave no power of decision whatever to the .people involved (students, faculty, administration) the whole control belonging to the Ministties of National Education and Finance. mmNO REAL DEMOCRATIZATION: Workers children are still being channelled into poorer courses of studies, not only because they lack financial support but also because their environment does not provide them with the cultural basis required by the bourgeois educational system. A LOW "PRODUCTION" OF GRADUATES: The failure rate is unusually high. Many students leave without getting their first degree(li.cence ). • Conflict: Written on Paris vvalls II est interdit d"interdier. Sorbonne Un flic dort en chacuri de nous, ii taut le tuer.

People who work get bored when they don't work. People who don't work never get bored. In France there is a gap between the so-called liberal 19th century university and the technological society of nowadays. Some "modernminded" professors and students were complaining about this lack of contact between univers1t1es and business, while the radicals protested they did not want to become the "watchdogs" of capitalism. Students and Politics Dissatisfaction and un• rest have naturally been growing for years now, kindled by such concerns as the war in Algeria, then in Vietnam, and by echoes coming from campuses all over the world, particularly from Italy (last winter) and Germany (last spring). The students found support in the traditionally left-wing students' and teachers' unions. But action never went beyond the usual utterly inoperativ~ meetings and speeches. Revolutionary groups went further, both by radical criticism of western society and the Communist Party, and by their readiness for serious action. But they kept arguing with each other. That is Why the creation of the "Mouvement du 22 Mars" on the Nanterre campus was such a decisive step. On this brand new, already crowded campus of 11,000 • Arts students--located a few miles west of Paris--Daniel _, Cohn-Bendit, 23, a student in Sociology, succeeded in • uniting for action, members of separate rival groups: anarchists, trotskyists, maoists. On March 22nd, 1968 when a few militants were arrested after a pro-Vietnam demonstration in Paris, 142 students occupied the Nanterre Administration Building. And what happened? In the night the comrades were set free, and the. righi to political expression on , campus eventually was granted to the students. "CE N 'EST QU'UN DEBUT" "It's only a beginning" became a famous slogan in May and June. But Nanterre was really the beginning though nobody knew it. It was a rehearsal of what May would bring on a much larger scale. You'll find the newest, loveliest,most modern diamond ring styles The bafficade closes the street but opens the way.

Council lost her seat .last Thursday. Miss Janet Hamer, a Nursing student who was elected September 27 as a University Schools represent· ative, must vacate her seat due to a £}'ling of the Judi• cial Committee of the A.M.S. The Judicial Committee was called to rule on a challenge against Chief Justice and Chief Returning Officer Rene Larson's decision regarding her position. Larson accepted her nomination from the School of Nursing as a University Schools repres_entative. The prosecution held ,this unconstitutional as the Nursing faculty ele~ted two representatives and therefore should not be allowed to elect a representative for University Schools. The committee supported the prosecution, and recommended that a new election be held to fill the vacant seat. Mr. Bryan Springay was acting -Chief Justice as Mr. Larson was involved in the case.

To leave this union would be completely against our interests. CUS is a voice in Ottawa and Queen•s Parl<. What it says is determined by the student leaders of it's member universities. If you believe Canadian university education is perfect, then you probably don't need CUS. If you believe democracy is unworkable, then you probably don't need CUS. But if you believe students should maintain communication with the federal and provincial governments, then you, as a student need CUS. CUS is especially important to a university such as Lakehead. We are geographically isolated. CUS keeps communication I ines to other universities open. To shut ourselves off from the rest of Canadian students would be against our own interests, against the interests of Canadian students in general and against the interests of society as a whole. Vote to stay in CUS. ......, :::: :;; Coldness Dear Sir, The students at this University are very , fastidious and impugn. Do you people smile? Do you people dislike people who come from another environment? Well, you treat them like dogs in a nonchalant way. Where is the warmness for the new students on campus? A nice smile from time to time would help a new student feel at home. Throughout my own travels people al ways presented me with a warm welcome of friend• liness and respect. This is not asking too much. Is it? Even, if you were from another part of town; they didn't mark you for it. Every country, town, city, and community has problems. We all know the problems at hand. So in the very near future act yourselves and give a person a break. By doing this, things could become very sweet on campus throughout the year. -The Outsiders. Road a cowpath, Dear Sir: I am writing this letter to express student feelings on the road leading to the student parking lot and the organization of the parking lot itself. It is the shits! If you think this is crude take a look at the cow path they call a road. Are these deplorable conditions really necessary? What is being done to better the situation? Maybe the parking lot attendants, or better still the people in charge, could be organized into a road crew. Of course if their talent as traffic directors is any indication we might end up with a road that is worse than the present one. Now let's take a long look at the parking lot itself. Last year students were assigned numbered parking spots. Not so this year. You have to spend hours looking for a place to park. We didn't spend money on a parking ticket to play a hide-and-seek game. Are there more stickers than there are parking spots? Are there people using the lot that do not have stickers? Let's have some improved road conditions and some parking lot organization.

On the evening of Octobet 9, 1968, four students, three with night classes - and one 1ate working photo~rapher were made to stand in the pouring rain from 10:00 p.m. un-til 11 :55 p.m. for a bus to take them to the St. Paul street station. If we were dealing solely with the disorganization of the Public Utilities OG>m• mission, which has more or less become a way of life in the Lakehead, it would not be so annoying, but when we, the students, are under die impression that there has been a committee set up on campus whose sole purpose is to remedy this type of situation, it becomes somewhat disconcerting. Just what exactly is this proposed committee doing? I think it should be known that those of us who are standing out in the rain, while this committee apparently does nothing, are getting a little pissed off! Paul Lummiss Student loans discriminate Dear Sir: Does tht! Argus not ca,re that our Ontario Student Loans Scheme discriminates against anyone outifi-de of very basic categories? Or for that matter, do any of the students have any concern unless they are grasping the short end of the stick? don't you devote some time to this crucial is~ue? Not Every person at this University must know at least a handful of people who •have been forced to alter academic plans because of insufficient funds. Mr. Robert MacLeod's letter to the editor in last week's ARGUS seriously insulted those adult students who are not yet dead. The concept of good guys against bad guys obviously results from a lack of involvement or interest in the affairs of thi~ university. But then, from other comments in his letter, we should'nt be surprised at this! I fail to understand how anyone could possibly feel "taller and nobler" for taking part in an anti• Johnson, Vietnamese war demonstration when he admits to having gone from simple boredom! Mr. MacLeod is not unique in having worked for years for a meagre salary and it is significant that some of One student in much the same position is washing dishes at night. A student who was in-dependent in high school cannot get a student loan because he doesn't "fit in" to the plan. They are but a few of the many in the same preclicament. What concern is this of mine? I have a good loan and I fit into the scheme, and perhaps you do too. Is it worth a demonstration, or for that matter, even a side comment over your everpresent card game? What about you Argus? Why interested? -Concerned. Room at the top up in the clouds us have come out of that dehumanizing experience as human beings! Rest assured students, that not everyone over twenty-one has lost all interest in and feeling for his fellow men. Not all of us worship that silly piece of paper, known as a B.A. Although I lack the anarchistic tendencies cri tici • zed in this letter, I would still defend the radical reformers who are lumped together as "nuts." I wonder if Mr. MacLeod has ever read the much over-rated Magna Carta. It is reasonably safe to assume that his ancestors were peasants, as were mine, so what the hell did it do for them? -Linda Montgomery, Arts I. �argus, october 17, 1968, page 5 Young socialists at L.U. Different' approach needed by Winston Rennie Students crowd around Young Socialist literary table. -photo &y Lwnmiss Y()ung Socialist Leagu_e Hoards of students milled around the cafeteria doors to hear three representatives of the Young Socialist League last week. The group was returning from a survey of radical thought, action and organization on university campuses. Approximately 450 Lakehead students• attended their film about Che Guevara. There were mixed reactions. Editor of their publication The Young Socialist Forum, Jacquie Henderson, explained some of the objectives of the Y.S.L. tour. She said there is a tendancy for most radicals to act spontaneously in confronting the Establishment without long range goals or to sit and 4iscuss theory without any action whatsoever. She feels that the two must be integrated to facilitate effectual action. Y. S. L. supports the recent swing of both W.U.S. and C.U.S. towards the left. They strongly support the idea of participatory democracy and therefore believe students are alienated from CUS because the students cannot directly elect their representatives. In regards to the Company of Young Canadians, Miss Henderson stated "It seems to us that an 01;ganization that is sponsored by the Trudeau Government cannot change the basic system that government represents."

Name________ ______________________________ _ Address ._ -City _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Zone _________ Province, _ _ _ __ University faculty ___________ Year of Graduatio,~ - - - - Time, place and numbers in attendence resembled corresponding features of the last A.M.S. general meeting so much that I feared the outcome. "Eager" is the only word to describe die general ·mood of students as they filed into the U.C. theatre. Some of us were prepar~d to cut classes to be present. Maybe we expected too much. And why not? This was the Young Socialists organization, travelling throughout Canada bringing the word of salvation to students. They had come to show us what part we can play in saving our society and peoples of the 'third world' from the unbearable yoke of Imperialism and Capitalism. There was a film show. A show depicting Che Guevera, the hero of revolutionary socialism, delivering one of his pieces of magnificent oratory, that moved the people of Cuba and Latin America to the core of their lives. The audience remained unmoved. The film obviously failed on two scores. It lacked visual impact; which is a sad thing to say about any movie. Further, to its verbal content most of the students were impartial. It simply outlined the basic principles of socialism •· what the socialist today is fighting for •• who and what they are fighting. This was more or less the whole tone of the lecture that followed. Che Guevara John Ledgennan started off by asking and answering what he tenned the usual question from the audience: "What's so great about Che Guevara?" He said that Che was held in esteem as a symbol of the cause •· of what can be achieved for a people by revolution. Che fought for _this cause; and dedicated his life to it until he was "murdered" in Bolivia. He went on to outline to students that their fight for student power must not be limited to the campus: they should direct themselves to the wider problems that affect the society in which they live. Identification should be made with the struggle of the working class, he explained. Then there was a question and discussion time. Students walked out. The few that remained came up with questions that served to disorganize everyone's mind. The Young Socialists stumbled, fell mto trc.ps and contradicted themselves. One question was • "How do you get money to pay for your trips and literature?" Groans from the audience accompanied the answer -· "We do not get it from the C.I.A. or anything like that; we get it from our supporters •· you and the others who support our cause. That is why we want to ask you now to donate what you can to help us go on with our tour". The ashtrays started going around and I had the serious fear that somewhere along the line someone would just pocket the damn things. Not Convincing If the Young Socialists would stop for a while and assess the type of student they are most likely to meet on campuses throughout Canada, their method of approach would be entirely different. The average Canadian student grows up and lives in a society where "leftist" literature is not censored to a great extent. (The roots of Capitalism are too deep seated to have any serious and immediate fears). Living easily and holding on to the frivolities of life - (TV's and cars) have become part of his person. It would be foolish to expect him to readily accept the principles of Socialism or to see how they could possibly benefit him. To effectively explain the benefits of socialism to such a group, the Young Socialists need a different approach. At present they are far from convincing. The meeting ended on the most pathetic note I have ever heard. "If there's no class in here now, won't you stay and talk with us ... please."

Fort WiUiam Port Arthur 623-7441 344-2428 �::-- argus, october 17, 1968, page 6 The women of The Fox without doubt involved in liomosexual practices. They felt, discussed and gratified their mutual attraction. But were they homosexuals? The answer is no. Their kissing each other had very little (if anything at all) to do with sex. The only use of their genitals was as a means of communicating with each other. I believe that this is true in most perversions. Other authors have noted that all forms of emotional and behavioural disturbances involve a breakdown in (effective) communication. A similar argument was implicitly presented in the Argus last year when I said that in rape, the genitals are used as weapons. It seems that in true rape the genitals of the male are used as an instrument for expressing hostility towards the female. By true tape, I do not necessarily mean what the court calls rape. This is analogous to the dynamics of prostitu- by Olsen Stephen Belle Every now and then a stimulating movie is shown at the local cinema, as a reassurance that this community is in some indirect ways in touch with the Twentieth century. The Fox is such a film. Its beauty and depth are immense • even though it is not three hours long, and the dialogue is minimal. The film is very well edited, excepting possibly towards the end; it is equally eloquent whether there was speech or silence. The literary and psychological images of the film were fascinating. The fusion of fox and man and the impact of this on the two women, as well as the women's reaction to their sexual experiences, deserve special attention. Jill described her sexual experience ,ts if it were rape, and yet it was the man who became part of her (ieft his imprint on her body). Ellen , on the other hand, felt as if it were ..,he who had become part of the man. Another way of looking at this would be to say that J ill was uncapable of sexual surrender because her self-image remained dominant even in her relationship with her lover. Ellen, however, was willing to surrender, but lacked a man. Though I appreciate the film primarily as .1 work of art, I will attempt to discuss the two women of the fox, using a psychological frame of reference; and to make a few relevant comments on instinctual and adaptational approaches to the explanation and correction of abnormal behaviour - in this case psuedohomosexuality. , A note on theory First let us consider instinctual and adaptational approaches. The instinctual theory of human behaviour was developed by Sigmund Freud. In his classical paper on the .Schreber case, Freud ( 1948) introduced his theory of constitutional bisexuality. Freud saw man as innately bisexual. Socialization was, as it were, the enemy of the instincts, and enabled man to develop control over his forbidden desires (forbidden to Freud and Victorians). Conscience was the internalization of social restrictions and could keep a watchful eye on even the thoughts of the individual. Thus for Freud, civilization increased discontents. This model may have been adequate if the whole world were Victorian. However, around the 1920' s evidence from cultural anthropology began to put some loopholes in Freudian theory. At about this time, the cultural interpersonal school of psychoanalysis began to emerge. Among other things, anthropologists began to find evidence of sexual inadequacy among primitive people. What I am leading to is a contradiction of the argument of instinctual theorists, that the only explanation of homosexuality is that there is a homosexual instinct seeking gratification. Again Freud's ideas were based on the Victorian model that there was a war on between desires and conscience. Homosexuality is known to exist in all societies, so we must look for complementary explanations, to account for homosexual practices in situations and cultures where there are minimal conflicts about sex. Freud's theories are still important as a vantage point. But, in evaluating his ideas we must be careful not to overlook the negative impact of Victorian ideas on Freud's thinking. Despite popular belief, Freud himself was quite puritanical. Adaptational theorists (like Ovesey 1964) attempt to explain homosexuality as a failure in social adaptation without recourse to a sexual instinct. Ovesey regarded psuedohomosexuality as fulfilling power and dependency motives. The power motive involves competitive transference in which the sibling rivalry is reproduced. The dependency motive is the seeking of magical solutions to the failures in assertion. The magical solution may be via surrender as in the passive homosexual role in which the weaker (or passive) person symbolically incorporates the power of the stronger person. What does this have to do with Jill and Ellen? What is meant by describing Jill and Ellen as pseudo-homosexuals? They were . , tion, which, in many cases is a manifestation of the woman's hostility for the man. We are not considering why the rapist hates women, or the prostitute, men; or why Jill and Ellen were physically intimate. This is a problem for the orthodox determinist. We will attempt to describe the women of the fox as they were, and look at the consequences of their behaviour, and its implications for corrective measures. Jill and Ellen ' Though Jill and Ellen performed homosexual acts, these acts had different meanings for the two women. Jill's homosexual acts were another expression of her neuroticism. Ellen was neither neurotic nor perverted. Her anxiety was exis"tential. Ellen's homosexual behaviour was . transient and filled the void created by by the absence of a man. This was an adapt· ational phenomenon that could be described as psuedo-homosexuality. Ellen had a similar fascination for both the fox and the man and was very appreciative of their masculinity, even though she was not unmindful of their potential danger. Early in the film, she was reading of the aesthetic qualities of the fox, even if it was devouring her chickens. Furthermore, when she came face to face with the fox , she couldn't kill it even though she had been pursuing it with a gun. She realized in that magnificent confrontation that she didn't hate the fox enough to kill it. Her dislike of .the fox (and the man) was superficial," and was part of the .mechanisms she used to adopt to the problems posed by both creatures. How else could she allow herself to feel about an animal that was eating her chickens?· How could she have had even the semblance of personal comfort had she nourished the longing for a man when there was none around? (Studies and anecdotes on sensay and perceptual deprivation and isolation document the role of delusions and hallucinations in compensating for reduction or disorganization of sensory input). The entirety of Ellen's homosexual behaviour could be construed in adaptational terms. This includes her narcissm (admiring her reflections and masturbating); dominance (mothering Jill, and imitating the male by her clothing as well as active sexual role). It is of interest to note that some theorists believe that homosexuality is an outgrowth of narcissm. That is to say, the homosexual's love for someone of the same sex is an exten• sion of his love for himself. Another comment in passing has to do with the mother-image concept. Ellen displaced (or satisfied) her maternal drive by mothering Jill, another human being. Meanwhile Jill mothered animals. Therefore, Ellen did not really renounce her wish to be a woman and mother, and her behaviour cannot reasonably be related to penis envy in the Freudian sense. If she wanted a penis she did not want to possess and use it as if she were a man. She wished instead to be seduced by it. (One of these days, I would elaborate on this point in a publication on the neurotic characteristics of women who tease. These are the women who manifest penis envy in the instinctual sense, because teasing symbolizes a woman's attempt to control a man's penis as if it were her own, by determining when it would rise and fall). I said earlier that Jill's psuedo-homosexuality was rooted in neuroticism. What does this mean? It means that her submissions to Ellen and to her lover, were manifestations of unconscious conflicts. Jill viewed sexual intercourse as something another person did to her, despite the fact that she was not really raped. But she had to do this so that she wouldn't be overwhelmed by her excessive guilt feelings. She ascribed her own sexual desires to the other person and despised her desires in the other person. Yet, it was evident that these desires belonged to Jill. This is the defense of projection~ From the beginning, Jill was reacting hysterically to almost every situation. She had an intense hatred of the fox and transferred this to the man. Since there was ample evidence that her fears were irrational, I will not develop this point. Jill was neurotically dependent on Ellen. When the marriage was announced, Jill was not so much afraid of losing Ellen as a sexual companion, as she was afraid of losing the emotional and psychological support that Ellen provided. Jill needed Ellen to confirm her impressions of reality and and to support her decisions. For example, it was obvious that Jill wanted the man to stciy but it was not until Ellen consented that Jill gave the impression of being sure that she wanted him to stay. But she didn't really want him to stay. And this is the neurotic paradox. She was suspicious of him; she was afraid of him; she hated him. Yet when he arrived, she showed more warmth than Ellen did. This is an example of the basic conflict in neuroticism • the intense love and hate for the same person. Jill wanted to submit to the man to satisfy her neurotic dependency but it would have been a vicarious satisfaction from the pain ofi being "abused" by a man. It would have had an exhibitionistic motive, in that she could say after, "these are my wounds • these are the pain of love." It would have been submission in the service of her own desires because Jill had either repressed or rejected her femininity. She satisfied her maternal cont'd page 10 , �.argus, october 17. 1968, On the Port ,Arthur jail I I II I .t \ t I ~: l' . ! l, ' I I I I !

His heavy boots come down hard and the noise echoes through the corridors. He tells me to .. wait here.. and walks through a door, glancing over his shoulder to be sure I haven't started a desperate escape al ready. The anteroom has an institution al aura much like that of the principal's office of a century-old school with its dried and scratched furniture. Bars on all the windows divide the view into six inch vertical sections and the noise of the street comes through. The rain pelts down on the window si 11, tossing smal I misty droplets on the worn brown linoleum floor. A large desk, the kind with a slantinghinged top, hides part of the inside wall. An old scratched telephone and the Lakehead phone book· sits on top of a desk in the corner. I should use the phone now but 1•11 wait till the cop gets back from the front office. A large room off to one side with a barred door catches my eye. Must be the .. drunk tank .. ; sure hope I don't go in there.

He tells me he'll be back in twenty minutes to let me cal I the J.P. again. I ask him if he's going for lunch but he just smiles and walks away . My eel is cold grey and I just sit down on the bed against -the wal I. A dirty sheet covers the stained mattress. There is nothing in the cell save myself and the bed. The paint looks fresh but dabs and names left by earlier occupants go back to '64. There are dozens of names, dates and criticisms scratched by others on the wrong side of the law. ..Big May.. , ..Babe .. , ..John .. , .. I love Peter.. , .. Cops are pricks.. , etc. The ashes from snuffed out cigarettes mar the wall. The floor is covered in butts and used matches. A pool of urine and saliva spattered on the far wall adds to the inhuman atmosphere. For ao hour I sit on my bed or pace the floor, wondering why I'm here, thinking about my girl and wanting to get the hell out. ..Where is that cop, he's I ate as hell, probably gone home the sonofabitch ... Forover half an hour no one comes by my door. then two cops bring in a middle-aged Indian woman. She looks scared as hell and doesn't say a word: I wonder what she did? I cart hear them talking and one says ..ugh, she done it". They leave with her and once again it is quiet. T.he noise of the Friday night traffic comes through the hall wind:>w and I really feel desperate about' going home. Sounds from the hall interupt my soul searching and I go to the bars to see who else has run afoul of the I aw. A young chap who looks really pissed off is led in, followed by a homely looking girl in her late teens or early twenties. She paused at my bars, looks in and says .. aah .. in a tone that . would imply pity. But they disappear into the front office and I wonder if the girl was really sympathetic or just mocking me like each passing policeman. Voices from the corridor bring news of another arri va I, and from the conversation it sounds like one of the regular drunks. Two cops walk by leadin a sta gerin old man. They stop in the anteroom to empty his pockets and sign him in. .. What are you taking my belt for? .. asks the drunk. ..So you don't commit suicide, ha, ha, ha,•• says the cop. .. Are you going to put me in there? .. ..Yep, that's right, been in there before, haven't you? .. .. What are you locking me up for? .. pleads the drunk . .. Drunk and disorderly and refusing to fight,•• says the cop and I aughs some more. The drunk tank door opens and the noise of metal mechanisms echoes through the jai I. The cops march out and the drunk yells and shouts and 1•m all alone again. What a place, I think, Jesus they really are pi gs, God I have to piss. A cop walks by and I ask him to let me out to go to the John. He says .. sure .. and walks away . You prick, you son of a bitch. I just have to leak, why are you doing this to me? Another cop won't let me out and says I can't cal I the Justice of the Peace. He walks away and leaves me squirming with pounding kidneys. Another hour, maybe two, passes·by and finally they let me out. I go into the drunk tank and urinate in one of the toilets which sit in the open for all to see. Finally I am allowed to call the J.P. and he says 1•11 be able to go in half an hour. I return to my cell.

Michel Lacroix ,,, " 1, �argus, october 17, 1968, page 10 a The women of the Fox cont'd drives in her relation with animals, and perceived herself as a victim (in the Victorian sense) rather than a woman. Jill's conflicts (or disatisfactions) were not so much with anything that existed in reality. as they were due to discrepancies that existed within her own self. Her behaviour, including her psuedo-homosexuality, were expressions of neurotic conflicts. But Jill was not a true homosexual. Making love to Jill, and her flirtations with the men, had more to do with neuroticism than sex. And this is exactly why I support the adaptational view (which is a modification to Freudian theory) that pseudohomosexuality may have little to do with sex, and that it can be explained without recourse to a sexual instinct. This does not, however, deny the biological basis of the sex drive (instinct is a mistranstation ). A comment on treatment Being a practical person, I detest discussing anything without concluding with some remarks about the next step. Those who saw the film know the ending. Jill was the victim of a "symbolic" suicide; (and possibly murder), and Ellen went off to live supposedly happily after. And this presents an interesting contrast. The presence of a man intensified Jill's conflicts to the point where she felt that death was the only answer. However, the same man was the solution to Ellen's problems. This raises the unusual question being fonnulated in a paper on psychotherapy and seduction. Evidently, Jill needed a therapist, but Ellen needed a man. The seduction of Jill or the analysis of Ellen would probably have accentuated their problems. Many therapists are observing the decline in classical symptoms among present-day patients. This may be because the causes of human problems are changing. North America has· not yet recovered from the loss of men in World War II. A~d the loss of men from society is probably the biggest problem with which we are faced. In a forthcoming paper (on Masculinity and War.. Corective Psyciatrr,) I made the beginning of an attempt to relate many of our social problems like delinquency, perversions, and so forth to the absence of men from society, an< the impotence of those who remain. This ii consistent with an adaptational approach, anc is relevant to the problems of women like Elle11 as well as many of the women whose mate! expent their energies in war, civil-strife, delinquency and the acquisition of wealtl Unfortunately, a lot of women are trying tc solve the problem by emanicipating in th, image of the male or becoming men themselves. They do not realize that women are neither better nor worse than men • they are differen1 from men. The women of the fox present an interestin~ contrast in personality of two people whost reactions to frustration are overtly similar. References Freud, S.(1948).

In a prepared speech written by the Lakehead chapter of IEA and backed by documentary evidence of the Company of Young Canadians (CYC), Mrs. Yvonne McRae, an Oneida living at Fort William, exposed police brutality, discrimination, exploitation and the general impoverished conditions under which N.

The exception of course were the Lakehead representatives who appeared apathetic enough to echo news reports from Toronto and Ottawa. Then, th~ usual political game began with every party suddenly concerned, not so much with solutions but rather as to how the situation could be exploited. This set of events gained momentum in Toronto (September 27-29) where the national IEA was holding · its national conference. Robert Andras, Minister Without Portfolio, FOLK SPECTACULAR '68 ) was the guest speaker of the main banquet. Mr. Andras' special Cabinet assignment is to develop new policies affecting native peoples and to consult them on proposed amendments to the Indian Act (legislation controlling every phase of every status Indian). All delegates gorged themselves and gave thanks to the heavenly deity who was so kind as to provide the assemblage with such good food, during which time the Armstrong Indians and their brothers and sisters across the country, were temporarily forgotten in their hunger and misery. My, what a good living those Indian and Eskimos can be! Control own destiny The lustre and import of Mr. Andras' delivery was scathed by Hector King. Mr. King, Q.N. W.O. delegate, made a vehement presentation. The newly appointed President of IEA, A.H. Wait, would at first not recognize the President of the Armstrong Indian Association, but conceded under pressure. In a statement prepared and written by CYC officials of Northwestern Ontario, Mr. King militantly declared it was time for the Indian to have control over his destiny. The personality and attitude of the new president of IEA triggered a split in the organization. Two leaders of large Indian organizations refused to rejoin the following day's deliberations unless the new president was removed. In a closed session, Wait resigned and was replaced by Omer Peters, President of the Union . of Ontario Indians. As the news media was in hot pursuit of this apparent split, Mr. Peters issued a statement to the effect that there were in the country red power advocates who were instigating and teaching race riot tactics. The statement had no documentary evidence and was obviously designed to send the news media on the proverbial wild goose-chase, thus relieving the IEA of pressure.

OCTOBER 24th - 25th - 26th LAKEHEAD UNIVERSITY FIELDHOUSE .TICKETS FOR LU STUDENTS $1 50 available at Arts office - get yours immediately On Sunday, September 30, Mr. Andras announced with indignation that he had not been consulted on the reorganization of the Department of Indian Af(airs and knew nothing of it. The fact that Indians are not consulted in matters of this sort is common practice; but that it would publicly infuriate a Cabinet member assigned to seek out what the native people want is of great interest. Andras climbed out on a limb to criticize the action of his senior colleague. The Minister Without Portfolio seemed sincere enough in his denunciations at the time. In answer to Robert Stanfield's question in the Commons, regarding the Indians' expressed anxiety about the government's failure to consult them, Prime Minister Trudeau replied: "because it was a matter of internal reorganization, we did not feel it was necessary to advise the Indians in advance of the day that it ·was going to happen.'' One of Cretien' s spokesmen echoed "We didn't consult them, because it doesn't really affect them." Another amplification of the indignant regard which the Dept. of Indian Affairs seems to have for natives came loudly from another unidentified spokesman. "The Indians don't have to consult us when they change their internal organization." But in fact, the only organization which the Department recognizes is its own tortoise-like bureaucracy in which the Indian has no say. In brief, it seemed like Andras was really infuriated, the Trudeau cabinet was split, and again the Indian was betrayed. On October 1, Trudeau clarified that Crieten, and not Andras, was responsible for the Department in question, clearly admonishing Andras. One can clearly recall Trudeau's statement during the summer past that if the Ministers wished to stay they must keep their differences to themselves. Thus, Andras' knuckles bruised from being rapped and Cabinet solidarity having been fused, he fell into political step. He later agreed that some consultation had taken place and said that the changes would be conducive to more effective and efficient service. "If I did not think so, I would resign my portfolio." Now that the misty veils of publicity and inner politicking are subsiding, what about the Armstong Indians? What about the Canadian Natives? Will they be members of Trudeau's "just society"? Or will they be "just a _ forgotten society"? � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Payments will be made to the Chief of Security and cars will be tagged by parking attendants. "Actually I'm not sure whether the money will go to the administration or to the students. That's one of the things we'll have to work out," said Bob Gibson, member of the committee. McCormack has recommended the offences include: (1) parking in a reserved space. (2) parking in a prohibited area. (3) improper parking. (4) parking in visitors lot. (5) parking outside the fence at the bookstore. • All university vehicles must have cl sticker to be allowed through the main gate. ''The mechanics of the procedure will be outlined and AMS Judicial Committee," said Mr. McCormack.

A number of councillors challenged Mr. Law's conclusion, drawing attention to the large number of students who expressed dissatisfaction with the p~esent hourly service. Bob Gibson, University Schools Councillor, commended Mr. Law for the report on the questionaire and also informed council that "a number of aldermen for Port Arthur are willing to take up the cause. Maybe instead of going back to the P .U.C., we can try going through a couple of aldermen." "I am against students collecting fines for the administration." Another councillor, Fred Poulter, said "I think that if tht: AMS votes for this there is something wrong. The students are getting sucked in. I don't think the Judicial Commi'ttee· should have to be bothered with fines. They have enough to do as it is." Mr. Poulter also pointed out '!As it turned out, the parking committee consisted of two students who don't drive cars,. and three administrators who have reserved spots." The only available space to park without a sticker will be at the field house. Mr. McCormack said "There is ample space for cars at the Athletic Building and the walkway_ to the University Centre 1s now completed; it takes four and a half minutes to cover the distance." The recommendation will be voted on by the Council; "The AMS will assume the responsibility of imposing and collecting fines beginning on Thurs. October 24," said Peter McCormack.

Algoma St. To be called ,.The Bookshop", the store is organized by a steering committee of Lakehead students, and English professor, and members of the Company of Young Canadians. They expect to sell books cheaper because the co-operative is a nonprofit organization and staff will be largely unpaid. One member of the steering committee, Graeme Taylor, ran the co-operative bookstore for Carlton University. "Commercial booksellers have found it unprofitable in the past to carry quality reading and now it's impossible to get them here at reasonable prices." said Jorma Halonen, voluniary manager of the store. .. But we feel the University market plus Lakehead's ethnic and labor demand, will give us a sound financial footing. This thing could have been started 20 or 30 years ago." The co-operative framework means that each shareholder bas one vote at general meetings no matter how many shares he owns. Profits are all plowed back into the company or given out as dividends to shareholders in proportion to business done at· the· Bookshop. Five dollar shares are on sale outside the Great Hall. • They are redeemable in merchandise any time. .. About 90% of the shares sold so far are to Lakehead students and faculty." said Evelyn St. · Croix, member of the steering committee. "In two days we've sold $230. worth of shares." "We need about $1,000 to really go, but we're opening anyway" said Jorma Halonen. "The store is rented and we've been assured credit facilities and other help from ca.ops_ in Winnipeg, Ottawa and Toronto."

The new law will only cover LSD, DMT, DET and STP at first, but marijuana will be added shortly after the bill comes through parliam~nt. It is expected to pass by Christmas. The new bill will create a restricted drug category under the Food and Drug Act and give the Crown two distinctly different ways of prosecuting offenders. One way, summary conviction, will be very easy on the offender; but the other way, indictment, will be very harsh. Under Summary conviction, first offence for possession will carry a maximum fine of $1,000 or imprisonment for six months, or bo~h. • Su~sequent summary convictions will be punishable by a· maximum fine of $2,000 or imprisonment for one year, ·or both. Trafficking, and pos.session for the purpose of trafficking, will carry the same maximum penalty of 18 months. • But the criminal record will only be local. It will not be registered with the RCMP in Ottawa. And since most local police forces do not take fingerprints in suminary conviction cases, the victim's prints will not be on file.

But their anger is misdirected. They are angry at other students who park without stickers. This attitude will get students nowhere. For the problem is not with students. Students don't control parking. The Administration does. The Administration's mismanagement of the parking lots has caused the present mess, and student anger should be directed at this mismanagement -- not other students. At present students are actually PAYING to make SURE they have trouble finding a place to park. Students pay 60% of the six attendants' wages. The attendants are usually in front of faculty and administration lots, protecting the empty, reserved spaces. Individual professors and administrators pay nothing for this protection. What can students do? Soon they may be fined by the AMS for parking without stickers. (The Administration has persuaded AMS President Peter McCormack to propose this "solution"). This means our student government would be acting as a police force for the Administration. Soon most students would buy stickers if this was done. But there sti 11 wouldn't be any more room to park. and the AMS Judicial Court would be so clogged with parking violations they wouldn't have time for anything else. Again, what can students do? They have no control over parking but must pol ice themselves? No\ Students must demand equal parking rights. The only way to assure enough space is to end reserved parking for the Faculty and Administration until a larger parking area can be provided. letters to the editor Withdravval attempt is •·selling out•• Dear Sir: In a Priority of the 32nd Canadian Union of Students Congress held at the University of Guelph from Aug. 28 to Sept. 4, 1968 the Canadian Union of Students recognized that: "these arrests and trials (of students, writers and academics in the Soviet Soviet action against the people of the Ukraine.

The ARGUS assumed that the Board meetings would remain closed even before the Board had considered the AMS proposal. This assumption could have made the AMS position very difficult if the memhers of the Board had accepted the ARGUS misinterpretation as fact. That the ARGUS assumption was a misinterpretation is clearly revealed by the facts that the Board meetings are now open to all and that the FIRST IN FOLK MUSIC T.

Cooch's participation in sports has understandably lessened his free time and he may feel inclined to spend the little he has left on something that will stimulate a response, (like academics? 11 !). It is obvious that his reporting career has failed to get a response and, to my way of thinking, the student has let Larry down. Larry is not the only member (ex-member) of the ARGUS that fits into this category, but the sight of his resignation turned my stomach. We are losing the people that really make the ARGUS because they can't handle the work load. I repea~ they need help - your help.

"The elite is the pick of the best, . . . those interested and able to participate,.. said Norma Sheridan, CUS co-ordinator, in a paper presented to council. However, she added "No one should be denied the right to participate.'' Mrs. Sheridan's paper outlined three alternative structures which she said could be applied first to AMS, then to CUS. The first choice was maintenance of the status quo. '"The only excuse for accepting the status quo is laziness, ineptitude and cowardice of CUS and AMS personnel,•• claimed Mrs. Sheridan. - The second alternative was democratization of CUS to be carried out" on three levels, she explained. The first 1evel is to .haye the CUS chairman elected and an annual referendum on CUS. Mrs. Sheridan said this .. is not a solution but a • temporary stop-gap measure.'' The second level would be to give each student the choice of Jommg C.U.S. According to Mrs. -Sheridan, this would lead to a drying up of funds and C.U.S. would dissolve into the third level of democratization. ..Democratization carried to its fullest extent requires decentralization ... The headquarters would become merely a co".ordinating and administrative . system.'' The weakness here would be the "loss of the resoin-ce material of CUS. The purpose of a national ·union is lost," • she pointed out. • • The third alternative is that "Cus· can choose to become •an elitist, vanguardist, leadership organization.'• Mrs. Sheridan · supported this alternative for the AMS. and asked the AMS , to recommend the same f9r CUS. Mrs. Sheridan defines an elitist structure as a .. structure whereby those who are interested and capable participate. .those who are uninterested and incompetent do not participate of their own volition... Under the elitist structure the entire interested group monopolizes the power. Mrs. Sheridan concluded her report "The 'AMS should begin •immediately to revamp its own structure, and then pressure CUS to follow its lead. • A CUS referendum at this · • time is irrelevant, a discussion · of CUS policy as stands enunciated in the resolution book is irrelevant.'' Missi Powell, AMS VicePresident of Academic, and CUS National Council members was the first to challenge Mrs. Sheridan's elitist proposal. She felt that the elitist group does attract the interested but not necessarily the competent. Miss Powell felt that reaction of students to CUS bas_ed on an openly elitist structure would be: "I~tead of voting you off campus, . they will throw you off.'' Missi Powell felt that the basic issue was being "prepared to accept the responsi bility for the power we are demanding... • Council moved into a discussion of witholding CUS fees as disapproval of CUS resolutions. However, it ·was pointed out that such action was tantamount to withdrawing from CUS. A proposal was made to research a new structure for AMS and to present the results 'to the next CUS con• gress to adopt for their own structure. A suggestion was inade to pay the assessment to CUS and ask for a research grant to · the amount of the assessment. A number of councillors objected .to the amount of work required for such a project. The question was also· asked whether council was ready . for the depth of commitment to • the project which a rese;:,rc.h grant would require. ·whether council will act on the discussion· may be decided at Wednesday's regular meeting. ~LKE THE HOME OF THE BRAND 413 VICTORIA AVE.

Paragraph 144 of the recommendations of the committee states that: -photo by Lummiss· college (a) teacher ·education be conducted within the university. (b) the program be of four years duration leading to the baccalaureate degree and certification. (c) teachers for all levels of schooling be educated within any one university.

On the other hand both could be amalgamated, where the ..college will be part of the University. This has been talked about a bit." He feels that the one year course for teachers is in• sufficient.

The demonstration was held to protest Canadian arms sales to the U.S. for use in Vietnam. There was no violence and no counter-demonstration. An earlier attempt to bum an American flag was foiled by a policeman who grabbed it away from the --demonstrators as it was being lit. The marchers had to this point obeyed the parade marshals and had stayed off consulate grounds because it was "American property and not free soil". After the flag incident however, Russel Rothney of the Vietnam Action Committee and chief parade marshal said, "let's treat American property with as much respect as they treat the property of Vietnam." The demonstrators moved on to the parking lot and symbolically burned an Amer• ican dollar bill as policemen watched. "This is symbolic of the $!150,000,000 in blood money Canada makes annually from arms sales to the United States", said Bob Hodwitz, a University of Manitoba student and the leader of the demonstrators. The protestors then made a bonfire of their signs, lirut~d arms in solidarity, and shouted, "Hey, hey, L.B.J., how many kids did you kill today." and sang; "We shall overcome". The demonstration, one of many staged simultaneously throughout Canada, the U.S. and western Europe, was jointly sponsored in Winnipeg by the University of Manitoba Vietnam Action Committee and the Committee for Peace in Vietnam. Earlier in the day the protestors paraded one mile along Portage Ave. through heavy Saturday afternoon traffic from city ball to the Legislative Buildings where speakers representing participating groups addressed the marchers. As well as the two sponsoring groups there were rep- resentati ves from the Voice of Women, University of Manitoba Liberal and N.D.P. clubs and private citizens of all ages. Cy Gonick, editor of Canadi an Dimension magazine and professor of economics at the University of Manitoba, in his speech compared Canada in her complicity to "a whore who was ready to sell her body to anyone who was ready to pay the price." The speakers unanimously called on the Trudeau government to hold a national referendum in which Canadians could voice their feelings. The two sponsoring groups have sent letters to Postmaster Eric Kiems and two other M.P. 's asking them to raise the issue in the House of Commons. "TrudeaJ1, during the election campaign, asked 11 Canadians to voice their opinions in matters of state" said Russel Rothney. "Canadian complicity is making a mockery of our so• called neutral position on the International Control Commit• tee." In last year's demonstration in Winnipeg there were about 1,000 marchers. Over 2,000 were expected this year. When asked the reason for the relatively small turnout, Rick ternette, a full time worker for the Winnipeg Committee for Peace in Vietnam, said "Winnipeg is 100 years behind the times in comparison with Toronto and Montreal and a thousand years behind compared with Europe." "It takes a lot of time to educate people, but it is through such demonstrations as this one today, that people will become more aware and start asking questions. Only then can we put a stop to these atrocities." The march was supervised by 14 parade marshals appoint· ed by the demonstrators. The Winnipeg police force provided escorts and surveillance. Student interests in the parking issue will be repres• ented on an Emergency Parking Committee. The committee was formed by an AMS resolution October 28, which passed 15-2. The resolution followed the Council's decision not to fine students for parking offences. The administration, uninformed of the AMS rejection of of parking fines, distributed invalid warnings to students whose cars were parked out• side the fence at the bookstore on October 24. The Emergency Parking Committee will consist of three students, one faculty and one administration representative, and will be chaired by a fourth student. The students will demand that: 1. preferred parking be eliminated with the exception of residents'. 2. a system be adopted whereby membera o university community who wish to park throughout the year be by Doug Smart will be °Tul'!sday, October 29.

Education a national issue'' A CUS field \W>rker m.¢e a flying visit to Lakehead University last Thursday in response to the planned referendum on CUS membership. Don Kossick, graduate student at University of Saskatchewan, discussed with the AMS the role of the Canadian Union of Students and how to better inform the students about it. "Education bas become a national issue, now that the federal government gives out much of the money for loans and grants, and there is thus a need for a national student lobby." he said. Mr. Kossick explained "the way to really affect what is going on is mass participation on the low level." He was particularly enthusiastic about course unions •• faculty-student dialogues, with a give and take attitude. This type of participation would also bring social awareness of the university environment. This base could later be extended to the community •· to involve the stu• dent as a part of society. "The university is a part of society and not an isolated ghetto." He said the only political slant that charged the same amount. lJ. a Standing Committee on parking be established consisting of four students, one administration and one faculty representative. This committee is to be given control over all parking regulations including prices of stickers and hiring of attendants. "This resolution is the most representative of idea$-· , !'ve heard . on the parking issue," said councillor Bob Gibson. The demands were thought necessary because there are a large number of students who drive to the university and a limited number of parking spaces of which nearly 40% are allotted to the administrat• ion and faculty, and also because bus service to the university bas not improved to a degree which could noticeably affect the parking problem. The first ~eting of the - Kossick CUS has is "the realization that human beings operating in an environment have a responsibility to participate." The popular image of CUS as radical and violent is a misrepresentation by the mass media. "What the mass media did for Trudeau in a positive manner was done negatively for CUS following the Guelph Congress," he said. Mr. Kossick feels reactionaries are capitalizing on this press coverage. Before referendums are held students must have a clearer understanding of CUS. Much of the media's attack has focused on resolutions passed at the CUS Congress in Guelph this August. Mr. Kossick pointed out, "one thing you have to recognize with the resolutions: we are not legally bound to them." In addition to providing a national student voice, CUS services include student Life Insurance, travel benefits, car insurance, rese,arch materials, field workers and seminars. Lakehead University's referendum will be held in the near future. The AMS Council will discuss the resolutions of the 82nd CUS Congress this week and will organize town hall meetings with the student body on CUS. , �agus, october 31, 1968, page 2 , This week. ■ ■ THURSDAY, OCTOBER 31 Cambrian Players • Play • Aud. • 8 p.m. "Six' Characters in Search of an Author" FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 1 Cambrian Players • Play • Aud. • 8 p.m. "Six Characters in Search of an Author" Circle K Halloween Dance • Field House • 9 p.m. t - SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 2 Math Club Meeting • Room 1020 • 10 a.m. • 11 a.m. Math Club Meeting • Room 1004 • 10:50 a.m.-12 noon Math Club Meeting• Room 1024 • 12:35 p.m. • 3: 15 p.m. Drama Club • Auditorium • 9 a.m. Cambrian Players • Play • Aud. • 8 p.m. ''Six Characters in Search of an Author" SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 3 Women's Residence Ass'n Social Evening RehearsalAu4itorium • 2 p.m. • 5 p.m. University Schools Movies • Auditorium • 7:30 p.m. "A Place to Stand" and '"The Philadelphians" MONDAY, NOVEMBER 4 Graduating Class meeting • Auditorium • 6:30 • 9 p.m. TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 5 "Mods Make Music" • Auditorium • 12:30 p.m. Spanish Classes-Ballroom Dancing • Room 1006 • 9 p.m. WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 6 W.U.S.C.

Mods make music Students were treated to a recital of light classical songs by Geraldine Kullman,dramaticspinto soprano, last thursday. The concert was second in a series of nine planned for the school year by "Mods Make Music'. The concert was a success although the theatre was not filled to capacity and the program had to be cut because it started late. "I was a little bit concerned about general reception, but I was very pleased. They were very receptive." said Miss Kullman. The informal concert was free to the public and the audience were allowed to ask questions and indicate the songs they wanted. "And they picked more classical songs than I expected them to " said Miss Kullman. The soprano was accompanied at the piano by her mother, Mrs. Rosamund Kullman. Mrs. KuJlman, a retired church organist, is her daughter's official accompanist except for out-oftown recitals. Miss Kullman belongs to a musically talented family. She is married to Robert Behrendt, now a member of the Princeton String Quartet. Their daughter Wendy plays in the Lakehead Sym• phony and is an excellent flutist. She has had an extensive career. In 1962 she won the Birmingham Symphony • Birm· ingham News Auditions and has just completed a year's work on a Doctor of Music Arts Degree at Boston University. Miss Kullman explained her title 'spinto' as a marriage of the dramatic and liyric types of singing. The 'spinto' has a wider range and can sing more different roles. Boris Brott, Director of Music at L. U., said the purpose of the series of concerts is "to bring to the University distinguished young Canadian artists, both classical and popular, from outside the Lakehead area. There is a thirst for new things in this university. It is a question of exposure." Mr. Brott would like to see L.U. as "a pioneer university, opening up new territories of knowledge in which students will contribute to cultural awareness • an awareness of life forces." The next concert will be November 5th, featuring pianist Arthur Ozolins, who has just won an international piano competition in Calgary. • simon says..

Argus staff member Simon backs student povver on radio Argus staffer Simon Hoad was hot-seat guest on the CJLX "Talk Back"· program last Friday at one o'clock. The program mainly consisted of Mr. Hoad answering questions on Student Power, explaining the position of drugs on campus, and defending the Argus. The audience who phoned in were extensively censored by the CJLX ten second delay cut-out system. Mr. Hoad was never censored though he once used the word "fornicate" to explain student attitudes to four letter words. Mr. Hoad, who is also an AMS councillor, was attacked personally and as a student by the phone-in audience. He was told students wanted to go too far too fast, and did not have enough practical experience in life. Listeners informed him that students were immature, didn't work hard enough and had no moral standards. Someone suggested students should pay the total cost of their university education. "Not enough of us can afford to pay for it before we get our education, but we'll certainly be paying for the university later through our taxes • which our training will help make as high as possible," Mr. Hoad replied. One lady tried to read a poem from last year"s Argus over the air. She thought it I was obscene. So did the radio statioo. She was censored •SO fast listeners did not even get to hear the title. Mr. Ho ad's participation arose out of an inquiry by the radio station for an Argus staff member. ~j T.

Overcome with joy, he raced into the hall screaming ..I've been saved," I've been saved." Prompdy he was invited to the daily pot party, held in the womans latrine on the second floor of the library. It was a smashing success; everyone of intelligence was there and the AMS representatives as well. Smiles were everywhere, mostly on faces it's true, but everywhere: And the biggest smile of all was stretched between the ears of Richard Colin Michael Pterodactyl. Then about halfway through the party, when everyone's joint was in plain view, the little man leapt onto his horse, (which he had cunningly sneaked through the window) whipped out a camera hidden in his left annpit, and immortalized the whole bunch in celluloid. Consternation rained, but the little man kept bis bead (someone was trying to pull it off) and got out the required there? words. "I am a representative of the RCMP and God and I've got you and you•re going to get proper shit for this." At that, a student with a white shirt and tie who had been calmly halucinating in a blue universe in the comer, cleared his throat and levitated unobtrusively to face the foul and now unmasked fiend. His voice was heavy with contempt. "Do you remember article 69 in the third book of Barf, Old Testament in the RCMP manual? Have you forgotten all your training? Do you not remember verse 13 • '"Thou shalt not let the right hand know what the other right hand is doing." "My dear boy, everyone here at Fakehead is from the RCMI? Didn't you know?" With that the thwarted evil one gave vent to his ire, in one tremendous go, and the place was so bad that people had to open windows and breath through handkerchiefs. And he collapsed in his customary heap, ;µid prayed, and confessed he hated his mother, and his Grade I teacher, and God, but not Dr. Tamblyn, and bis teddy bear, and his sister, and said he needed pharmaceuticalogical help, like on the movies. But after one dose of LSD '(such is it's power) he straightened out. He got a crew cut and a volkswagen and clean underwear and even attended a class. Finally he graduated. They say he designs synthetic potatoes for the cafeteria. �argus. october 31. 1968. page 6 , ••and we will cry our militance .. by Chuck Grieve ''Give µs five barley loaves and two fish", saith the throng, "And we will cry our militance by abstaining from eating, and we will leave the five barley loaves and the two fish to go bad in plain view to attest to our militance, and when no one is looking we will sell the five barley loaves as fresh bread, and the rotten fish as fertilizer, and we will show a profit which we will spend on beer, and smuggle the beer on campus, and drink it all up amid riotous laughter, and drive home skuzzed as no doubt all those who we militantly abstained over will be doing at the same time." For it is all a game, with nothing but our minds to play with. And some of us chose not even to play that game, concerned perhaps-even a little afraid (You tense?) --of being disillusioned, discouraged, at the pending conclusion of the match, the matdh which has no rules except the limits of man's mind, the match which tantalizes, quickens at the prospect of conclusion, yet eludes the frantic grasp of one who fears a decision. Just so, issues. We call for power; we demand equal rights. We talk of a community of scholars and we argue over universal accessability. But when the opportunity arises for positive action--for any action, be it positive or negati ve--we fall back into the trap set for us by those who went before. "If it was good enough for them, let us try to see if it will solve efur problems as well" ; we say, rhetorically, to no ears other than our own. And we are as the horse in harness, with blinkers to guard against distractions on any but the main route. The parking issue is not new. But neither were the proposed solutions. The problem is not so much with where to put all the cars--we do have great empty flat spaces out front--but how to do it systematically, neatly, making sure rules are not broken. But rules are not sacred: rules must be broken as soon as they are out-moded, antiquated. Rules regarding parking (though a lowly, insignificant case of isolated misdirected energy) serve one purpose: to force people to pay so that they will cherish the privilege of parking. Moreover those, generally, who can't afford to pay are forced to, while those who can afford it have prestigious reserved space. Parking is so transitory a problem that it is hardly worth a mention, other than as a casual reference. On the other hand, its prominence as a topic of much intercourse, meetings, and general unrest provides a lead to another serious aspect of our thesis. In chosing this this as a focal point for simulated trench action and lxief skirmishes, the whole University is committed to a level of local quibbling not particularly desirable even to the likes of the materially-minded few who specialize in this form of ego-enhancement. ''In the beginning was man, and man was his own god, and man prospered. He built society so that he cood live peacefully with his friends, and join forces with them against his enemies, for man really is a social animal, probably better known as a social climber, and he used society to put himself or his friends in control, because Monopoly is not just a clever dice game. What man did and still does in a big way in the big society, he also copies in miniatuce detail and puts to work in every group he deems necessary to start, because well golly that's just what the democratic thing is all about." The democratic thing in itself is probably good--no one really knows because it has never succeeded in freeing itself from petty things like parking lots and electricity, and window stickers and all the outward trappings of what each individual man (still his own god) settles on to hold back eyeryone else from getting to where its at before he does. Similarly, Lakehead U., and the Council. There is a relationship between the Council and the electorate, such that the Council would not become embroiled in a problem of such extremely local and personal proportions unless the electorate was in agreement with their involvement. Now the electorate, by its apathy and general confusion, on the one hand, shows its level of political awareness, while on the other hand, by its concern over parking problems, it shows its egocentric nature. In fact, by wanting to do things like charge faculty and administrative personel for parking while allowing students free access (which was in a mature attitude on the part of the students. In fact, in the very face of university democratization across the country, Lakehead students have once again shown themselves unwilling to look deeper into the little things and come up with big steps. It happened, if you recall, with the great registration scandal, with the Harding case with the ORCUS affair, with the printing-press issue--and it will happen again: as long as people continually refuse to give the effort required, or are forced of necessity to take individually too much for three people; as long students refuse to face the issues, there. will always be, every · year, parking problems-every year. So. We call for action, do we? It is time. And we start at first base, We begin with student government, and its structure. A Council of such nature is not, nor can it ever hope to be, representational. Despite fine ideals, and great election aspirations, it is an elitist structure. The problem lies in the fact that it is not elite enough. A possible solution could be the modified party system. It would call for an extensive campaign among the ranks of the student body to create a maturity and political awarenes& of acute dimensions before it could hope to succeed. For it would manifest itself, through many possible routes, in a closely-knit Council who would direct the course of political action on a course charted out in advance: following a sort of never-ending five-year program. From a Council so constructed, the student effort to democratize the university community .. by abstaining from eating'' fact one suggestion put forth) they even show narcissistic tendencies. A sad and sorry state, indeed. But look, where the folly of the Council lies, laughing back at the people who solved the problem, or rather proposed one solution to it, without clearly attacking the issue in• volved; and, therefore, themselves not fully understanding that issue. Had those involved ·intimately with the parking thing been less hasty and a little shrewder in their dealings, they could have seen that there, personified in this year's version of the parking-problem, stood the guide to a democratized Lakehead U. Why charge some for a parking sticker, and not charge others? Why not run a toll gate type ofoperation, with no reserved spaces--absolutely none? Or why not open it all up and charge everyone the same, still with no reserved spaces? Clearly there are many more alternate solutions to the parking thing that provide more desirable results than the one solution originally chose, but of course they require would be easily allied with that of the faculty, or rather those members of faculty who are still able to envisage any sort of educational structure other than the "each discipline for itselr' set-up which it would appear we have now. An integrated educational environment is what could be created: those who cared enough would make it work. But fear; fear was ever-present. Some were afraidof the new, some of the old. Some of the unknown; others, the material institutions. Loneliness was bred of fear. So humanity rubbed its backs together and . the heat subdued the- fear and overcame the loneliness~ And the price of wannth was war and poverty. We must not be afraid of the strength necessary to start the great wheel of change, and we must not be afraid to assume than strength. It is cold out here, away from the warmth. Let us not split ourselves for fear (Is it always fear?) of losing the heat of numbers. And effort, effort is essential. We must work to accomplish these ends. But unless Lakehead U. changes faces, effort will not come for a long time. ;~··........ ...... . ....................................... ··················· WOULDN'T YOU RATHER DRIVE A FORD? .-. ...::: ❖ ::: ::: ·-· :-: You are cordially invited to- drop in and see the ❖ :-; :~: All New :...: S-.ea~r WerW . :: ... ... ·- ~ ~ ~ ~ ·- sPECIAL cLEA1-0UT of '68 FORDS * Special Prices 0.

I really wasn't thmkrng clearly at the time." He added that Dr. Tamblyn was supposed to attend. Dr. Tamblyn said he had earlier advised AMS President Peter McCormack of his decision not to attend. He gave his reason as, "I'm tired of going through the same issue four different times, having reached conclusions at each stage along the way." The student demands to be discussed were the elimination of preferred parking spots, equal prices for all who wish to park, and the formation of a committee with student representatives to control parking. Ron Baker, Chairman of the parking committee, explained, "We demanded equal parking rights. We feel that as students we should not be paying $15 each for attendants to keep us o~t of faculty-administration parkmg_ _lots, while faculty andadmm1strators pay nothing." He added, "Parking problems would be largely elimin_ated if the lots were run on a first come-first served basis."' Mr• Smith said this is impossibl~. "Ri~tly or wrongly the policy of the University at this time is that the faculty and administration are preferred." . Mr. Smith also disagreed with the students as to the cause of the problem. "The prob!em is not privileged parkmg, nor the cost of parking nor the allocation so much as the in3lbility of some people to abide by the rules and regulations as they are." Mr. Smith said if the parking committee met again, he would definitely attend. The students have ap~roached the Faculty Association to send a representative to the committee. Dr. Stan Magwood of the Biology department acted as a faculty observer last Tuesday. He said the faculty would consider sending a voting member at their next meeting Nov. 14. However, he thought they would be quite disturbed by the student demands. j Slifpv, or;1q11;z. ~ -photo by Roblin L.U. students demonstrate in support of labour union Police in Port Arthur and formed on the basis of mutual and broke up an interview Fort William over-reacted when respect, a sharing of decision- between students and CKPR· 20 students from Lakehead making power, and a pooling TV.

FORT WILLIAM The Fashion Store for The Style Conscious Student CUS National Council holds first meeting The first session of the CUS ational Council was held in Toronto Oc t. 25, 26, and 27. The National Council was set up at the 32nd CUS Congress in GueJ ph this summer to bring the individual campuses across Canada into a closer relationship with the national office. The CUS field workers gave reports to the Council on all campuses across the country. Field worker Don Kossick has made two visits to the Lakehead in the last few weeks and will be returning next week. The relationship between CUS and the Commission on the Relations between Univers1t1es and Government ( CRUG) was one of the more important matters discussed. Missi Powell, AMS VicePresident of Academics and a National ·Council member, stated, "CUS will present briefs to CRUG because they want the scope of the investigations to be greater than simply the legal relations between universities and government." Strategy concerning the press was another topic at the National Council meeting. ''The decision concerning the press applied mostly to big centers where the newspapers regularly interview student leaders.,, said. Miss Powell. The policy fonned at the meeting was that personal interviews would be limited as much as possible and be re• placed by press releases from the national office. "This way they hope to eliminate the kind of character assassination done on Martin Loney and John Conway by the Vancouver Sun," stated Miss Powell. How to deal with referendums was also a matter of discussion. The general feeling was to postpone referendums as long as possible so that the students could be more clearly infonned concerning the policies and function of CUS. The National Council also appointed a co-op field worker who wilJ be visiting the Lakehead campus later in the year. Miss Powell felt the meeting was very useful as a kind of co-ordination of what's going on across Canada. The National Council is essential to making CUS a national union becaus e "Through the council the point of view and the ideas of various parts of the country are communicated," she said. Forestry charity In a two hour blitz of the Port Arthur-Fort William area, the Lakehead University Forestry Association collected 274 cases of empty beer bottles (and numerous non-return pop bottles collected by Red "Q.B.

According to the French Club Executive, the Cultural Club essentially dissolved, and members joined the French Club. They felt the cultural needs of the student body 40 MILES PER GALLON OF GAS RENAULT (Also Used Cars Small ·and Large) could be better served through one club.

"We already have over 200 members. About 90 of them have signed for a trip to France this summer", he said. The French Club meets Tuesdaysat 2:30 in room 1100.

RED RIVER ROAD, PORT ARTHUR �ague, november 7, 1968, page 3 An interview On•rio's Deputy Minister of Education Editor• s Note: Dr. Jack McCarthy, Ontario•s Deputy Minister of Education, made an informal visit to lakehead last week and was interviewed by Winston Rennie and Alan Roblin of the Argus. Deputy Ministers are senior civil servants who do not change with the party in power and its political appointees. Consequently they are very powerful. And since the education ministry is traditionally the senior section of Queens Park (the two pervious Premiers of Ontario both headed it before taking over cabinet leadership and since Dr. McCarthy was responsible for setting up the Department of University Affairs: he has much more power than his title suggests.) The Department of Education is in the process of examining the Hall-Dennis report, a recently compiled study of Ontario•s education which recommended revolutionary changes. Dr. McCarthy has a great deal of say over which changes are implemented, which ones are emphasized, and which ones will be compromised to ineffectiveness. H~II - Dennis report QUESTION: What is the present position of the report? ANSWER: This report was submitted in June. At that time we engaged Mr. Dennis on contract to speak to organizations and jurisdictions all over the province and to explain the reports' recommendations. QUESTION: What is the report's position so far as implementation is concerned? ANSWER: As soon as we got the report, we got people working on it in the department to assess the recommendations and make some kind of priorities for implementation. Several of the recommen..ilations of the report are already implemented. For example, the larger unit of school administration-one of the recommendationswill become effective on January 1st. Through this we'll be able to provide a wider range of opportunity for every youngster. Prior to that there were administrative organi• zations that were too small to provide the the spectrum of services that would really meet the needs of youngsters. I think we have got some of the major re-commendations on the way. QUESTION: Do the Local School Boards then have some measure of freedom in the implem~nting of parts of the report? ANSWER: They do. Local School Boards have a high degree of freedom in the curriculum area; for example, to provide for individual differences. If they want to make adjustment they are free to go ahead and do so. QUESTION: If the recommendation that Teachers' colleges be incorporated within the university is implemented, what will happen to the existing training colleges? ANSWER: This recommendation is supplemental to the McLeod report which was issued about two years ago. That report recommended teachers' colleges be part of the Universities and we have bad discussions with a committee of Presidents of the Ontario University, with a subcommittee that they established, with the individual administration offices and repre• sentatives of faculty across the province. We've done a lot of the spade work that had to be done here in consultation. We are now at the point of having to make decisions. We've accepted the McLeod report on the basis of this recommendation. It's more a matter now of procedures for implementation than any questions of the principles involved. QUESTION: Would the teachers' colleges then cease to exist? ANSWER: They would -likely become facul• ties of Education within the University. QUESTION: Was there seen any urgent need for a thorough revamping of the Education system? ANSWER: We used to set up curriculum commi ttees--mathematics, representatives of the universities, teachers' colleges, technical institutes, the school boards and the teachers' Federation. We'd say we want to develop a new· mathematics program for grades 9 to U. Aims and objectives in ...- -photo by Roblin Dr. Jack McCarthy (at right) talks to Winston Rennie. mathematics would be set up. Other committees would be set up for different subjects. You were having this happen across the whole spectrum of the curriculum. But the missing element in each of these special areas was "What are our over-all objectives into which these ought to fit?" I recommended to the Minister that we ought to have a committee that dealt with overall aims and objectives which would be given to these separate committees. They could have their own objectives but it ought to be in relation to the general objectives. This was accepted. Foreign teachers QUESTION: What's the idea behind the Ministry of Education accepting these teachers? Is there some sociological benefit to be had from it, or is it simply filling a need for teachers? ANSWER: We recognize that we may be doing a real diservice to some of these other countries when we do this. But if teachers make a committment that they are going to live here and that they are qualified to teach, 1 don't know what else we could do but allow them to do this. This is some cause of concern to us. We don't mind stealing teachers from the U.S. but we are very reluctant to take teachers from a place we know need teachers more badly than we 'do. Many of the students who come from other communities to study at the undergraduate level have m~de the same decision outside of teaching altogether. Student powe, QUESTION: What do you think of the present wave of student awareness and conscious• ness? ANSWER: I think this is a very natural developing pattern in the society that we have. I think this so-called "awareness" of stu• dents is a highly desirable development. Whatever comes out of it should be judged on the merit of ideas that are presented. I don't think people should take rigid positions. I deplore ,!11e fa_ct ~at in :-ome instances people say we will Just abdicate positions altogether". I don't see the "student power" as any different from the presentation of new_ ideas tha~ ou~t to be given every possible consideration. QUESTION: Is there any due concern on the part of the Ministry of Educatio!1 that the element of violence does sometimes come into this picture? ANSWER: This doesn't bother me at all. I have seen things like this come and go in the past. I think the law is ~ere lll!-d it ought to be obeyed in a democratic society. I don't subscribe to the fact that the only avenue for change is violence. This brings its own reaction ,!'Vhich may result i? greater losses in the long haul. But I don t belong to that generation any more so I may be expouting a point of view held by the older generation. QUESTION: Do you think that the claims and causes held by the students are just? ANSWER: I would say it is impossible to find any area of the society today that isn't subject to improvement. This applies to the Department of Education and any other element of society. We should be all striving to find better ways to do things and we ought not to reject or accept ideas just because some particular group proposes them. I think no one should panic because things like this happen. QUESTION: "7'. What would you say about the fact that High Schools are now getting into this picture; for ex~ple, the recent student strike at Windsor? ANSWER: Some kids are going to have to find out that the gains are not offset by the losses to them personally. I don't think this is the way that things are going to be gained because I don't think society as a whole would buy that. Striking isn't neces. sarily going to force the school to do differently. I think it is a different picture in High School as compared with Universities. I won't accept it nearly as much as I would in the case of Universities. QUESTION: Some students are beginning to feel that "reason" as a method isn't helping them or isn't going to help them to any great extent. What do you have to say about this? ANSWER: The question there is whether resorting to violence is e~ercising reason. Exercising reason isn't helping us; do we thett stop exercising reaison? Is violence within the realm of reason? I don't buy that. There is a basic cynicism that people aren't prepared to buy reason. I have a long way to go yet, but I don't see that. Many students get out of line because they don't see it in a historical perspective. Things have improved over past years and a hell of a lot of reason has been applied to tlie situation. I don't think that anyting could replace experience. Many of the people today who are saying "reason" isn't being taken into account, and then resort to violence, would be in administrative institutions ten years from now and saying "What the hell are we -going to do with these students, they have become impossible." This has been happen• ing all through history. Student newspapers QUESTION: What do you think of student newspapers and the role they play? ANSWER: I think they play a very important role in terms of keeping students informed, but I must confess that I would like to see a higher level of journalism represented among them. In my view one of the things you have to look at is that if a newspaper cont'd on page 10 I �' sE.&JS ON St::Nf\TE.. --- .. -:.,.J• ...--...., - Student needs There's no doubt that student needs are the primary concern of Lakehead University's Administration. The entire administrative staff spends all its time thinking, thinking. Thinking of more ways for the Un.iversity to serve the student. For instance, look at the building program. $100 million in concrete in the next ten years. Ten thousand dollar bills going up and coming down. Yes, Lakehead's facilities for the student will be great. The library elevator already serves students who have offices on the fourth and fifth floors. And the new cafeteria . will be twice the size of the faculty's, while seating only seven times as many. Better still, the ARGUS office will soon be a spanking new hallway. More important, the standards of the University are constantly on the rise. Why, only last year failure rates went up another notch. Al I this for the student. And now the Administration is offering us more. We really don't deserve it. They have been so generous they don't even want us to know who our benefactors are, for fear our thanks would be too overwhelming.

When Miss Horn, a member of the Wolf Clan of the Mohawk tribe, was introduced as a controversial figure on Indian Affairs, little did I know that I, a member of the audience out of curiosity, would be the one controversing about her, and not just about her figure. She had a roomful of educated people under her thumb and all they could do in their own defence was complain when she stuck harder. This is heap big medicine. I personally wish to congratulate Miss Horn and ask any of the powerful and enlightened mind~ who have suffered by her visit to reestablish and reconsider the facts and hope they can see that they were induced to think and realize, rather than be informed by Miss Hom. Unless you begin to imagine that perhaps there is a little of the slyness of the fox in the brave wolf you will be demoted to a weak and unelightened mind. Viva l'lndien. "No proctor shall carry or consume any alchoholic beverages at a function which he is attending in an official capacity, the amendment unless sanctioned by the Chief Proctor." Art Looye, actmg as prosecutor asked that the charges be withdrawn on the grounds of lack of evidence. His request was denied and the hearing continued even though Mr. Looye refused to prosecute on legitimate grounds. In essence the Magistrates looked to me for a defence against charges which had . been withdrawn by the prosecution and against charges which were not backed up with one shred of evidence. When I told them that they had no right to keep my clients any longer since charges had been dropped and no prosecution was taking place. We were threate~ed with contempt of court 1f we should leave the court room. After a ten minute recess these noble stalwarts of justice adjourned the case until next Thursday because they were unable to find the amendment to the constitution. Bryan Springgay, associate justice told me to produce written proof of the amendment rather than witnesses. When I told the court that I didn't have to provide any defence thus far since the prosecution had not provided incriminating evidence or witnesses to prove the validity of the charges, Bryan Springgay · provided the court with his gem of legal wisdom, "In my eyes they are guilty Mr. Hiller and it is up to you to prove their innocence." Is this the Judicial Committee that realizes the uni• versity student is a private individual? Is this the Judicial Com• mittee that respects the right of each individual to act according to his own moral standards? ls this the Judicial Committee that is interested in the well being of the University and the student body as a whole? Is this the Judicial Committee that is unbiased and passes judgement solely on the evidence brought before it? One thing is for sure. This is the Judicial Committee that may impose fines up to any amount they feel, restrict a student's privileges, and recommend suspension or dismissal. When I questioned their litigation procedures I was ruled out of order by Mr. Springgay and informed that the Judiciary was supreme because the Constitution said so. • Next Case? Ron Hiller Foresters disliked Dear Sir: Would someone in this university please enlighten those stud en ts who are ignor· ant of the fact that the Forestry program at this Univer· sity is one of the most unapathetic groups on campus? These students are, it seems to me, being discriminated against. This statement may be backed up by the action at the halloween dance held in the fieldhouse on Nov. I. No matter where the foresters went in the fieldhouse they were heckled and pushed. I only wish that people would realize that this group of people has given the only spirit to this university and to Lome D. Clark attack and criticize everythh1g this group does as wrong is a fallacy. People may think that this letter is biased as it has been written by a forestry student but that is only their opinion. I think that if you talk to a forester you will find that this is a mild statement of fact. It is about time that the students of this university began to support the foresters and not fight them at every turn. We are an understanding group and try our best to stay out of trouble. I only wish that the rest of the students in this university would show some spirit and not be so damn critical. J. Douglas Angus, Forestry Degree I �•gus. november 7. 1968, page 5 letters to the editor The radical attitude of AMS councillors Dear Sir: Most people are aware of the struggle for Student Power being waged in today's universities. There are those who feel that the right of people to determine their own destiny is a basic freedom that has been trampledon by the Administrative Bureaucracies of our society. People who feel that a change in the power structure of the university and in society as a whole is desirable and even necessary if this culture is to survive. Every day the minds of the people are slipping into the control of a small minority who's prime concern is its own sur• vival and the effieient running of the machines of government. Throughout the continent, the process of authoritarian and paternalistic suppression is speeding up. The mind of the public, exposed to the direct application of the mass media in the interest of this select minority has lost the power to formulate its own opinions. In other words. the idea of "public opinion" controlling public policy is a myth. Those people who demonstrated at Chicago have learned this lesson, and the people who demonstrated in Toronto on Oct. 26 have also learned this lesson. In the university itself, among the student radicals, the insidious effects of this conscious effort can be seen in the attitudes of those people who are trying to change the administrative set up. The power of this mind control process is apparent in the action of those individuals who consider them• selves aware of this very phenomena. Recently the AMS council deliberated on the CUS resolutions concerning the Viet· namese war. What resulted was the rejection of most of these resolutions. It is expected that the right wing liberals would vote against the reso- lutions. However, what was not expected was the attitude of the so called left radicals. Instead of condemning the AMS council for supporting genocide and . the American Capital Em• pire, the radicals reduced the meeting to a competition between the right and left, as if it were a football game with the appropriate boo's and cheers. The revolution that these radicals support is not The Revolution, it is a middle class cultural revolution. A revolutian aimed at upsetting the older generations by introducing new modes of behavior and life style. This movement in itself is necessary but the fact that most radicals do not or can not look beyond this state is the major weakness in effectuating any relevent change. What can be expected but tokenism from the Establishment, if the radicals continue to play at being parliamentarian leftists? If the majority stands against the moral issues of the war, if they continue to place misinformed, selfish motives before the lives of those dying in Vietnam, then that majority is wrong. As long as th_e radicals sit at the same table with those who support the murder of children, (4 out of IO killed in Vietnam are children-Ramparts} the radicals themselves are as guilty as those who support the war or pull the trigger. Canada sells 500 million dollars worth of material to the U.S. to aid the American war effort. The Canadian mmmg interests sell nickel to the U.S. of which 90% is used by the American Armed Forces. 11t e Vietnamese War is not primarily a political issue to Canadians, it is a moral issue. To the student radical, it is one of the major rallying points around which the new left aims... its attack against the "smug minority". As long as the radicals fail to be serious about what they believe in and as long as nothing more than talk is heard, nothing will change. The only effective action is direct action and the only effective result is victory. Papin-Stuber No reason to be apathetic pounded the real issues for me, but the answer could be found nowhere in his letter, although I took the pain to read his letter about two or three times. Let's assume when he wrote about the "real issues" (which is used in the plural) that he meant education. What is education? In the writer's context it would seem Serving the Lakehead Since 1911 What are the real issues of that an education to him is coming to school, _ studying FLOWERS FOR ALL OCCASIONS the University? I thought that hard, and passing an examiFort William Port Arthur the writer would have ex- nation to get that status 623-7441 344-2.428 oriented "piece of paper" so that he may live comfortably afterwards. Is that what an education should be? For too many people who have been regimented under the rigid structures of our so-called good society, the answer would be ''yes". In my way of thinking, "education" is more than coming to school to pass an examination. Under our present system of education, we must never forget that passing a written examination is an ever important thing. However we should never be shrouded under the guise of examinations and forget other and more important aspects This organization exists of education. University life is the dissemination of knowledge. This knowledge can be hadnot to consider only in text books, but also by being acutely aware of things Dear Sir: In the October 24 issue of the ARGUS a letter was written to the editor which was headlined "In Support of Student Apathy." The writer of this letter contended that the apathetic group ( the largest group probably about 80%) is concerned with the real issues concerning this university. AMS ACADEMIC COMMITTEE academic issues and complaints. that are happening not only in our own environment but also m the world in general. The Biafran question, the apartheid policy of South Africa, the Rhodesian pro_blem, the Vietnam war, the United States Presidential election, the Negro question in the States, and the Indian problem in Canada are some of the more important aspects of education that I referred to above. If anything is wrong within the University, we as students should take pride in voicing our disapproval. It is ridiculously insane to sit back and be apathetic. Writing for the mere sake of sensationalism, voicing destructive criticisms, and having a negative approach are things to be avoided. Let's be constructive in our criticisms; let's be positive in our approach; only by so doing would we be able to give those who have been elected to the numerous positions in the many clubs and organizations on campus the necessary incentive to carry on. For it must be remembered that al though these people are trying to propagate activities for the welfare of the University, they too are ultimately concerned with passing that written exami• nation.

(HARDCOVER edition I) Only 35 cents At Your LAKEHEAD UNIVERSITY BOOKSTORE �_ argus, november 7, 1968, page 8 Council splits over CUS resolutions A split in the AMS Council was apparent at last Wednesday's .meeting, which dealt with CUS resolutions. Council had intended to discuss the CUS resolutions thorougbl y in order to present a full picture of the CUS to the student body, which will vote = on membership in CUS in a referendum soon. But opinions polarized early in the meeting, and discussion was limited. Resolutions . dealing with such safe issues as lowering the voting age, Biafra, and the status of women were passed by an overwhelming majority. But resolutions dealing with Vietnam, U.S. imperialism, and student power, issues that are currently labelled by the mass media as "radical" were narrowly defeated. Concerning the Russian invasion of Czechoslovakia, Council. passed a motion which "reaffirmed the right of selfdetermination of peoples". But concerning Canada and Quebec, Council defeated a resolution which stated in part, "They (the Quebec citizens) must have the right to national self-determination." Council "condemned the invasion of Czechoslovakia and its people by the Soviet Union and continued Soviet domination of Czechoslovakia", but defeated, by a close margin of 7-9-0, a motion to "condemn the imperialistic and genocidal war currently being waged against Vietnam by the United States of America and its allies." Council passed the Declaration of the Canadian Student, which states in part, "The Canadian student is a member of. a global society with the right and duty to be concerned about his fellow citizens and with the responsibility to promote -human rights and mutual understanding." Don Kossick, CUS field worker who was on campus October 80 and 81, was pres• ent at last week's meeting. "Attending the meeting was a frustrating experience", be said afterwards. "It is hard to understand how a student council could pass a resolution such as the Declaration of the Canadian Student, which calls for active student involvement in all facets of life, and then reject the resolutions specifically on student power and .~se on involvement in international affairs. These matters are the practical applications of the Canadian Student. 0 Mr. Kossick said the only conclusion be could draw is that "the Council as a unit, doesn't understand the resolutions of the 82nd Congress. Their decisions were inconsistant." Norma Sheridan, Lakebead's CUS co-ordinator, left the meeting before it ended, saying, "I can't , take it; I can't stand it." "Everyone was in that meeting with his mind already made up", Mrs. Sheridan said later. "Nobody was prepared for discussion. The ColDlcil was very badly and very evenly split. It's a bad situation because it stops people from thinking. It's not a learning situation." The AMS will continue to consider CUS resolutions at next week's regular meeting. it took CUS delgates eight solid days to pass the resolutions at the 82nd Congress in Guelph this September. The date for the CUS refer• endum will not be set until the Council has considered the remaining resolutions.

There is room for good journalism. I must say that they have improved over the years, but I have seen a couple of examples that I consider the height of irres· ponsibility. Indian education QUESTION: What is the position of the Department as far as Education of Indians are concerned? ANSWER: The Adult Education program is a little different to the integration into the regular school. For the last 15 years the local School boards have been-helped with finances from the Department of Indian Affairs, when they added capital facilities to educate students from reservations. It is a different relationship with Indian children to the school sys tern than it is at the adult level. It is more difficult ·if the rerson is already an adult. QUESTION: Have there been any problems with regard to the Indian children fitting into the schools? ANSWER: No--as a matter of fact, we have had additional requests from Indian groups· to have this pattern extended beyond where it is now. I haven't heard of one incident where this has worked out badly. A year ago, up at Manitoulin, they asked for representation on the School Board, so we ammended the provincial legislation to make it possible. Things like this have helped the situation because the Indian point of view is then represented on the School Board. This has been pretty positive in my view, but I think there is still a lot to be done. Purpose of visit QUESTION: Do you care to comment on the purpose of your visit to the Lakehead? ANSWER: I came to the College of Applied Arts and Technology which is developing a new campus down here. We are working on some decisions in this area as to planning its overall development. I had some discussions with Dr. Tamblyn about the Teachers' College and the possible relationship that might exist between the University and the College. IAM~ election disputed I Students once again went to the polls on Oct. 23 to fill vacancies on the AMS Council. There was one vacancy in each of Science, Arts, and University Schools. Elected for Science was Roy Shegelski; for Arts, Paul Berkeley student leaders fasting BERKELEY (CUP) •• Two Berkeley student leaders, discouraged by the relative ineffecti venessof conventional protest at the California school, have begun a fast. The two, Konstantin Berlandt, editor of the Daily Californian, and Charles Palmer, student president, say they will end the fast when Governor Ronald Reagan promises to "cease and desist his political attacks on the university." ''We feel we have exhausted, through petition and peaceful protest, the regular channels of appeal," said Palmer. Berlandt continued the thought: "We see the university pressured by politicians and many people of the state, repressed by the regents in open disregard for faculty autonomy, and further weakened by the student apathy and faculty evasion." Both rejected violence as a satisfactory tool of protest. Monday afternoon (Oct. 28) several faculty members called a press conference to announce they had secured 475 signatures from the 1,000 faculty members on campus, endorsing and supporting the actions of chancellor Roger Heyns "in dealing with activities designed to disrupt campus functions." Heyns called in the police to break up a series of sit-ins at Berkeley last week. The protests centred around a university decision not to grant creditstatus toa course on racism given by Black Panther leader Eldridge Cleaver. Over 4,000 students were boycotting classes Tuesday after a strike vote the day before was called to protest the university handling of the Cleaver case.

She also spoke later in the evening to the general public. Miss Horn greeted students in Mohawk and extended her greetings to the Ojibway people who live at the head of the Great Lakes. She then got to the point: she had come to ask the white man to honor his obligations under the treaties to the Indians. She called Lakehead University "Lethargic University", and -went on to attack nearly every structure of North American society. young Gov't plans robbery "There are 250,000 registered Indians in Ca~ada and it costs close to $1,000 per Indian per year for health, medical care and welfare. The number of Indians increases by about 4% per year, and the cost of caring for them in the wilderness (the areas of low cost of living on the reserves) increases about 7% each year. Something must be done about making Indians self-supporting." Miss Horn went on to explain the Governm~nt's plans. to solve this problem: "They will rob Indian lands worth something like 500 million dollars and give the title of these lands to some hungry real estate promoters". She added, "They are going to encourage the bright and clever to leave the reserves abandon their people and leave the rejec~s and the misfits to remain on the reserves and breed like crazy." • Miss Hom especially criticized the roles of the... Hon. Jean Cretien, the Hon. Robert Andras, and Prime Minister Trudeau, for the part they have played in the Indian situation. of Mr. Cretien Miss Hom said "He is an unfortunate choice because Indians do not trust french speaking Canadians." She then said she would challenge Mr. Cretien to a public debate on national television on the subject of welfare of Indians. "Mr. Andras," she said, "went around the country repeating the assurance that the Indians would not be betrayed, as they have been for hundreds of years. He did not know he was a Judas goat. He was sitting at hearings and Indians, carefully selected for their loyalty to the government, were coming in with wonderful speeches and briefs prepared by white lawyers on the government payroll." She said, however, "Mr. Andras is an honest man who would like to do his best for Indians and the best he can now do is sit on the sidelines and not be a pawn in a power play leading to the loss of $500 million in Indian lands." Take a deep breath Miss Horn asked all present to take a deep breath of fresh air and hold it. "Each breath of air," she said, "is drawn through the courtesy of we Indians." • She added "You would not be born, your country would not exist if we had not three times qmtributed our blood to make this possible" . She elaborated on this by giving the students their "history lesson": "When we resisted the Americans trying to kill the French speaking Canadians in 1776 ( after Quebec Act of 1773 guaranteeing their language and religion and the Pope's influence in North America), we not only saved them, but saved Canada, and in 1812 to 1814 it was the terror of the Iroquois that saved Canada from the Americans once again." Miss Horn stated that the poor health and medical care given to Indians make them a burden anywhere. She added that Indians are physically, mentally and culturally different from the white man. She offered suggestions for helping the Indians. The first was for the white man to pay his "rent" to the Indian landlords. Second, the housing crisis for Indians must be relieved. Third, marriages and intermingling of Indians with white people should be banned. Fourth, Indians should be taught useful skills and the Indian woman should be trained to be subserviant to her brave. Finally, justice must be brought to the Indians, something that has been denied Indians because they are usually defenceless. The Indian plan "Five years ago I first presented the Indian Plan. The National Indian Council refused to consider it. They were more concerned with parties, dances and making me Miss Indian Princess of Canada to shut me up. "Four years ago I went from coast to coast proclaiming the Indian Plan. The Hon. Arthur Laing seemed to accept it when he became Minister of Indians. "Today I hear nothing about the Indian Plan which is designed to make the million registered Indians, who will be alive 31 years from now, self-supporting and an Independent Indian Nation. ''The plan is based on such things as: Stopping assimilation and integration, which are robbing us of our leaders, and without leaders, Indians are lost." "My Indian Plan rejects association with hippies, and negroes, it draws racial lines it makes clear that we will not believe in th~ fiction of racial equality until a team of Eskimoes beats the Harlem Globe Trotters in basketball in Madison Square Gardens, and then goes on to win the 100 metre dash, at the Olympic Games. "My Indian Plan rejects free association of Indians in the white community for at least 31 years. "My Indian Plan is designed so that we can't be exploited. It is designed to develop motivations, property ownership emotions and all of the things that are missing in an Indian•· to work fast.. This, sh~rt life expectancy is due to the whtte man s diet. When Indians are pu_t into residential schools, and fed such things as macaroni and milk, they lose their eyesight. This is especially true of the Crees wh? loose their eyesight within the first year. This and other physical differences have been demonstrated by The John Hopkin's Medical Centre and University of Oklahoma Medical Centre. Another question asked was: "The ten~ts' culture is one of competition and ac~1evement for survival. Do you think that Indian people can adjust themselves to this culture or do you want them to? He_r answer t;o thi~ was: "You are trying to pamt a glowing picture of the white man. The only true character of the white man the o~ly way that he retains his power is thr~ugh v10lence, through committing atrocities, m~rder and betrayal, through dishonesty, and lymg. You cannot ask your landlords (The Indians) to lower themselves to that character when they are of a superior character themselves." • Mis~ Horn's an~wer to the question, "are all Indians as anti-French as the Iroquois?" was: "We aren't anti-French-we just happen to know our history. The Indians fought against the French in the early days of Canadian history because the French were out to commit genocide • they wanted to kill off ~11 the Indians. The only way that the English could come here and live here was to make treaties with the Indians, treaties they have never honored to this day." The question period had to be cut short because Miss Horn had another engagement at that time. Pay the rent I That eve_ning, however, Miss Hom presented two films to the general public: The .. of Chaughnawaga and until they are within an Indian nothing can be done to assimilate the great majority / ' "My Indian Plan has been successfully ignored, laughed at, scorned, rejected, opposed, shelved, discussed, ejected, and kicked around by every politician or person in power who had some secret or public advantage to oppose it. " "In fact my Indian Plan is opposite to the beliefs of the idiots who now plague the Universities of Canada and many other countries." Miss Hom also pointed out that: "On the present record of success the heal th of the Indians will be the worst of any group of human beings in the world, the employment will be lower, the so called crime rate higher, the rate of convictions 100%, and the hope· lessness of the whole situation almost beyond repair. The cost cannot be reckoned in moneynot even in millions.'' She criticized students who received loans from the taxpayers and wasted their time "running around acting the idiot, trying to get on television, demonstrating about things that will get them publicity and girls, and upsetting their parents, and wasting the money paid for their education, which could better be diverted to welfare of Indians. Some of the students who receive loans, however, take their $3,000 and try to learn something to become useful to society." Indians physically different Miss Horn then asked if there were any questions. One person mentioned that Miss Horn had suggested her and her people are physically, mentally and culturally different. He asked her to explain how they were physically different. Her reply was, "Indians have a short life expectancy--35 years. Therefore one can understand a person like myself, who is way past middle age. I'm over the hill and I have Disappearance of the Buffalo, and The Elliot Lake Relocation Project. Following the films. she presented another speech, expressmg the same ideas voiced in her earlier speech. After this a Ii vely question period developed. "How do you feel a society · like you advocated completely independant from our own society can exist as a nation in the world?" To this question Miss Horn replied: "First of all you (the white man) pay your rent and then if we want to fail or be successful that's up to us. You pay the rent and then if we want to we can put you all on a reservation. One person who got up and identified himself as a Treaty Indian stated , "First , I m not a Government employee and second I'm not a coward like you say we are. And second don't ask me to pay my rent!" "We all know that you're one of us and you certainly will not be expected to pay any rent." was Miss Horn's reply. ~e said he thought the best weapon the Indian could use against the white man is the pen. Miss Horn warned him not to give the white man any clues. When asked if she were representing the Iroquois Nation or just exactly who was she representing, she replied that "I speak for Kahn Tineta Horn, let everyone else speak for himself." The Treaty Indian asked: "You say you speak for only yourself but after tonight and what you said on television we have a lot of explaining to do." She said: ''Don't explain anything to the white man--it's none of his business." Afterwards refreshments were served in the Great Hall and anyone wishing to meet and talk further with Miss Horn, did so. Miss Horn is just completing a tour of Canada and The United States and is returning to The Caughnawaga Indian Reserve. Her tour is paid for exclusively by the universities that invite her to speak at them. �IW{JJS, novembar 7, 1968, page 12 The Pope and the pill at Lakehead by Linda Montgomerie Last Thursday afternoon the International Students Organization held a panel discussion on "The Pope and the Pill" in the University Centre Theatre: About 250 people turned out to listen to the opinions of the local professional men who made up the panel, and to clear up a few of their own questions on the Pope's Ency• clical on the Regulation of Birth. Since its appearance last July 25, this encyclical letter has created, or rather aggravated, a division within the Catholic Church over the topic of birth control. The first speaker was Dr. Malloy, a Lakehead gynecologist, who was quick to point out that contrary to popular opinion, this papal letter is not about the pill. In fact, it manages to go on for twelve pages without ever being more speci fie than "artificial birth control", which means a great variety of different things to different people. Dr. Malloy said his first reaction to the encyclical was one of embarrassment that the Pope had spoken out against the pill, he went on to say that the Pope's decision has not changed any of the views which he held prior to the encyclical, or his approach to his patients' problems in the area of birth control. The Doctor noted that this was significant since the Lakehead area has no facilities for family counselling in this field, and the onus is therefore largely on the doctors serving our community. Dr. Malloy then quoted a short section from the encyclical: "The Church, calling men back to the observance of the norms of the natural law, as interpreted by her constant doctrine, teaches that each and every marriage act must remain open to the transmission of Ii fe." "This is one item for which, I am sure, the Pope would have to defend himself, as he is trying to do at the present time," the doctor said. Dr. Malloy allowed that this could be a "recipe for happy married life" for some people, but he maintained that every couple should use the birth control method best suited to their needs and preferences. Wide and easy road Dr. Malloy quoted another section of the letter, which was discussed later in the question session: "Let them consider, fir~t of all, how wide and easy a road would thus be opened up toward conjugal infidelity and the general lowering of morality. Not much experience is needed in order to know human weakness, and to understand that men •· especially the young, who are so vulnerable on this point •· have need of encouragement to be faithful to the moral law, so that they must not be offered some easy means of eluding its observance. It is also to be feared that the man, growing used to the employment of anticonceptive practices, may finally lose respect for the woman, and, no longer caring for her physical and psychological equilibrium, may come to the point of considering her as a mere instrument of selfish enjoyment, and no longer as his respected and beloved companion." "I feel here that he is wrong." said Dr. Malloy. "From the example of the crosssection of Lakehead society with which I deal in my practice, I would not say that the use of artificial methods of birth control is going to weaken them morally. I take exception on this point." Later on, during the question period, Dr. Asimi, of Lakehead University's Sociology Department, spoke of the same quotation saying that any standards that are weak enough to be destroyed by something of this nature are ready to be changed anyway. Student-faculty solidarity became a reality as Dr. Asimi gave his address. He said "the subjects discussed in the encyclical; marriage, love, sex, conjugal fidelity, family etc., are not eternal values, but strictly social values which man has evolved over centuries of experience because they served some use• ful purpose. When these things have ceased to serve their purpose, they are dead things, and the societies shed them." The defence Father Leo Lafreniere, a priest with a degree in Sexology who is also Supervisor of Family Life Education for the F.W. Roman Catholic Separate School Board, had the unfortunate job of defending the Pope's Encyclical. Much of his talk was challenged. A question from the floor required Father Lafreniere to defend his statement that · there is no threat of overpopulation, and no food shortage. He had stated it is simply not true that an unchecked birth rate will result in famine, quoting such figures as "only 15% of some South American nations are being pro• fitably used." A student asked Father Lafreniere what basis the Church had for dictating the formula for happy marriage. Father Lafreniere began his reply with the words, "Through centuries of experience", at which point Dr. Asimi interjected "Whose experience, Sir?, and the mood was set for the rest of the question period. D{. Asimi also pointed out that the encyclical forbids the use of artificial methods of birth control and is therefore already out of UVic wants out of CUS VICTORIA (CUP) •• The University of Victoria has added itself to the growing list of schools across Canada clammering to get out of the Canadian Union of Students. date since the concept of"artificial" changes almost daily. After quoting from _the first paragraph of the letter • "The most serious duty of transmitting human life, for which married persons are the free and responsible collaborators of God the Creator" • Dr. Asimi asked the audience if they understood how someone who was "free and responsible" could at the same .time be a "collaborator". "Even the concept of being a collaborator implies some free will, and you can't put someone in a straight-jacket and say 'You collaborate or else!'." He added if men are "free" partners of God in procreation, then the Church has no right to dictate in this field, and if men are "responsible", then the Church should not assume that men will make irresponsible decisions without the guidance of the Church's law. "Trying to bring these things into a divine, spiritualistic, moralistic realm is against the health and welfare of the social corporate body.''

The UVic council signed the CUS commitment form at the national union's September congress saying they would pay their fees and remain in CUS for this year . CUS's national council, which met over the weekend (Oct. 25-27) in Toronto, passed a resolution saying "firm action" would be taken if councils did not make good on their commitment. CUS vice-president Wynton Semple said it was made clear at the congress what signing the commitment form entailed. The intent of the national council resolution, he said, was that, if necessary, court action would be taken against universities such as UVic which refused to pay their fees. The move follows last week's circulation of a pet· ition by members of the council urging a de facto withdrawal from CUS. Their reasons were mainly financial. Student president Frank Frektich strongly opposed the motion to delete the CUS budget. He felt he was obligated to stick with the previous pledge of support forthe national student union.

And at Lakehead University the -latest medium is television. The university's television studio, under the guidance of Producer/ Director Pat Wesley and Jon Ogden and Technical Director Bill Currie, has been recently equipped to handle complex educational productions. The studio is being used extensively after two years of experimentation. A project of major importance underway in the studio this year concerns videotaped lectures in Psychology, Anthropology, Math• ematics and English. Taped in the television studio, the lectures are shown in specially monitared classrooms both on and off campus. Lakehead is the only university with an offcampus educational program of this kind in Canada. Inaddition to the video-tapes, students and faculty are producing independently two 16mm black and white films with the facilities. One of them, The Film Makers, a ten minute short, will be released in about a month. The Fly is the next one which will run almost an hour. Shooting will start in the spring. Plays for a modern drama course are also taped for later use in class. Producer/ Directors Pat G. Wesley and Jon L. Ogden co-ordinate the various operations of the studio, channel the output of people, projects and electronic apparatus onto a single roll of one-inch videotape. Technical Director Bill Currie and his assistant, Jerry Paglaro operate a maze of electronic equipment in the master control booth. Mr. Wesley is also a lecturer in Psychology at the University. Mr. Wesley spends an equal amount of time in front of the camera as behind it as he frequently conducts interviews with children and adults for his Introductory Psychology courses. The tapes are used for both on and off-campus programs. Mr. Wesley joined Lakehead University in 1966 and began work in the television studio that same year. As part time director of the studio last year, he aided in increasing the utilization of the studio's services by various university departments. Producer-Director Jon L. Ogden, former chief producer and director of CKPR-TV, who recently joined the studio's production staff, is experienced in many phases of television production. He holds an honors diploma in -photo by McOuat Pat Wesley with son and daµghter.

During taping sessions, Jon operates the master switcher in the main control booth. From a vantage point on an elevated platform he watches pictures fed from three cameras to various monitors. He can feed any desired pictures and special effect onto the video tape. He controls camera movement in the studio by instructing the operators over specially-equipped headsets. Technical Director Bill Currie has been with the studio since 1966. At that time he performed the duties of cameraman, audio man, switcher and director. Mr. Currie is responsible for the design of the monitaring and preview system in the control room as well as the audio board which enables technicians to select sound effects from any one of 14 sources. Both Currie and Ogden train the university students who operate the studio's three Sylvania television cameras. A resident of the Lakehead for 23 years, Bill holds diplomas in Electrical and Radar Technology. He served with the Royal Canadian Air Force for six years as an electrical and radar technician and worked for two years on the engineering staff at CKPR-TV prior to joining Lakehead University. The three directors are enthusiastic and optimistic a bout the future of the educational television program. Additional lectures in a variety of academic subjects are already on the planning boards. A videotape lecture exchange with other Canadian Universities has been started by the studio this year and is certain to include a greater number of participants in the future. Wesley and- Ogden have just completed arrangements for a bi-monthly television program called "Montage" which will be seen on local television in the near future. The 15 minute programs will be videotaped in the studio and will involve interviews, discussions and special events concerning Lakehead University. �argus. november 7, 1968, page 14 Psych faculty closed meetings questioned A meeting of the physchology student-faculty committee last Wednesday elected one student and one faculty member as executives, decided to to remain separate from the psychology club, and discussed student attendance at faculty meetings. The committee was set up to facilitate communications between faculty and students and may become the decision making body of the psychology department. It is the only student-faculty organization on campus. Garth Bentney, psychology student, was elected chairman, and Dr. Evan, faculty member, is vice-chairman. They will hold office until the end of the year but can be removed by a vote of non-confidence. It was decided the corn- mittee should remain separate from the psychology club, to better become a channel for improved communication between student faculty and administration. The meeting moved on to a heated discussion of student representation on faculty meetings before adjourning after two hours of debate and a diversity of opinion. During the course of the argument the original question evolved from "why would a student want to attend faculty meetings?" to "what goes on in a faculty meeting that a student should not be able to see and participate in?" While some typical faculty functions such as the hiring and firing of professors are of genuine concern to the student, it was suggested that other aspects of the faculty role, involving perhl!:PS personal psychiatric councilling, may be exclusive to student participation for ethical reasons. Dr. Melnick noted that the political effectiveness of the faculty is sometimes bound up in strategic timing in revealing policy, and student attendance at faculty meetings may destroy this effectiveness by making policies public prematurely. The topic of library hours found its way onto the committee agenda because many Waterloo student council resigns. . no confidence The vote against the Council went 550-450.

Wednesday (OcL SO) he announced plans to run against Cardinal in a byelection December 4 in the provincial riding of Bagot, formerly held by the late premier Daniel Johnson. He is the only cabinet minister who does not hold a seat in the legislature. Mill, who will run under a socialistic banner, said he did not want the minister to run without opposition: "This would be anti-democratic, especially at a time when Cardinal has been the object of student opposition because of his guilt in the post-secondary education fiasco."

' The four, frustrated by the apparent inability of the Council to do anything mean· ingful, have initiated a form of town hall democracy to consider academic and socio• political matters. Missi Powell (Vice-Presi• dent of Academics), Dennis Wallace (Director of Finance), Owen Marks (Arts 1V Councillor), and Simon Hoad, (Arts 111 Councillor) together con· resignations pages 6,7 Dennis Wallace, AMS Director of Finance, ponders resignation. AMS Council rejects Senate seats, accepts sub-committees AMS Council rejected an offer of three Senate seats Wednesday but accepted seats on three Senate sub-commit· tees. AMS President Peter McCormack stated "Council cannot accept the three seats on Senate because of its policy of not sitting on boards with closed meetings". Council did not express the desire to reconsider this policy, and as a result the offer was rejected. The procedure adopted for the selection of representatives to the sub-committees calls for nominations for the positions from the student body. Nominees will be voted on by the AMS and the three Society Councils at a joint meetingon Wednesday, Nov.13. Mr. McCormack said, "I would have liked us to have been on all the committees. However, I am pleased that we are on the ones we are on." Referendum dentTherepresentatives sub-committees stu• are to be seated on the Admissions and postponed Scholarship Committee, the Lakehead' s CUS referendum has been postponed until after the Christmas holidays. Last Wednesday the Coun• cil voted 12 to three to hold the referendum concurrent with the AMS general elections in February. AMS President Peter McCormack explained the reason: "We don't have the resource people available on campus to inform the students properly about CUS. In the meantime the students should be filled in on CUS so that they will be better prepared when the time comes." l Judicial Committee, and the Library Committee. One member of the Senate stated he personally was disappointed that Council saw fit to reject the offers of the three seats because of the closed meetings. He felt, however, that the Senate would not open its meetings. Another source stated there is a strong element on the Senate which is opposed to student rep· resentation of any kind. The seats were offered by the Senate following their Oct. 16 meeting. Lakehead students are not among the first either to be offered Senate seats or to reject them because of closed meetings. Universities across the country opened their doors to token student representation last year. Recently the University of Manitoba Senate opened its meetings to induce students to take seats. Other universities with open Senates are McGill, Simon Fraser, B.C., Waterloo, Al~rta, and York. demned the AMS Council as ineffective. Miss Powell strongly attacked the AMS for its disconcern with important issues. She £el t her usefulness to students was blocked by the Council. "I have come to the conclusion that my staying on in the AMS is a waste of time. It is a dissipation of my energy, and on the council I am utterly ineffective." Mr. Hoad also felt the Council had become incapable of acting on serious matters: "Our collective rigidity has reduced us to a select set of social conveners. A large portion of our time is spent discussing beaurocratic mea• sures to perpetuate ourselves." Mr. Wallace said radical changes in attitudes and actions are needed on the AMS. "We are inadequate administratively, philosophically and as an effective power group to carry out the policies which we feel a need to initiate. The administration realizes we are powerless. The structure is essentially satisfactory for the students of L.U., but the people making up the council are not suited for their positions." Mr. Wallace's resignation will not take effect until Nov. 30, in order to prevent financial chaos. Mr. Marks attacked the AMS structure. "The AMS cannot truly be a representative council for Lakehead students. We students are compulsory members of a union, which, because of this fact, cannot be a vanguard student move• ment." Town Hall democracy page 12 He proposed a voluntary student union operating on the principle of participatory democracy. His resignation is also held off until Nov. 30, after the seminar on Indian society, which he is deeply ~ involved in. AMS President Peter McCormack said he realized the AMS is in a mess, but feels it his duty to remain in office and attempt to better the situation. Petition for equal parking A petition for equal parking rights for students is being circulated on campus. "We have about 600 signatures already and expect a great many more as a large number of students have yet to see the petition," stated Ron Baker, Chairman of the Emergency Parking Committee. The petition was initiated when the Administration did not send a representative to the Emergency Parking Committee meeting on Oct. 29. At that meeting the possible elimination of reserved parking, a system of equal prices for all, and student control of the parking lots was to be discussed. Mr. Baker said, "The purpose of the peti· tion is to find out how much support we have from the student body before we decide what to do next. 1£ we get about 1500 signatures neither the Administration nor the faculty will be able to ignore us." The petition reads, "We as members, of the Lakehead University Community, feel that present parking regulations are inefficient aqd unjust. A first come, first served system with equal prices for all is necessary. We therefore request removal of the present privileged parking system." In addition to the petition, two members of the parking committee, Fred Poulter and Simon Hoad, are preparing a brief to present to the Faculty Association at their next meeting. The Emergency Parking Committee was formed at the AMS Council meeting of October 24 following the rejection of the recommendations of the first parking committee. That committee, made up of two students and three administrators, had decided that the AMS Judicial Committee should be responsible for levying fines on all cars improperly parked or without the proper sticker. �r - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ~ - - - - - - - ~ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ~ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ~ - - - - - - - - - - -= 18'\JIS, november 14, 1988, page 2 -----------------------, AMS considers more CUS _This week • • • THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 1.4 Frosh ·Basketball Game vs. Dinty's • Field House • 6:~m.

Council agreed with the demands to Student Power as defined by CUS: "The fwidamental demand of student unions must be for control over the learning process and the University decision-making process at all levels. Control over one's material environment is a fundamental democratic right. The demand for control must seek to cowiter the power of the University as a corporation with the autonomous power of the students." The first specific resolution was "we (the students) should have a hand in hiring and firing and reviewing of contracts."

Mr. Wallace introduced an amendment suggesting that council eliminate the clause "by boycotting exams" from the resolution.

He drank one and raffled the other off to the men in his battalion, the proceeds going to increase a fund for children of members of his unit who died in action. The astonishing sum of four thou• sand dollars was soon collected from the soldiers, and the man who won the bottle was too overcome with emotion to drink it. When The Coca-Cola Company heard of this, they immediately sent two thousand dollars to be added to the fund-which means that a single bottle of CQ.ca-Cola fetched six thousand dollars.

Leaving at 10:30 from residence, the bus and several cars travelJed the 60 miles to the park in about one and a half hours. The remaining five or six miles to the Sleeping Giant were covered either on foot or by volkswagon, depending on the energy of the 90 individuals. After lunch, the mountain was attacked, the top reached, and refreshments were brought out. Later that afternoon, the move was down to Marie Louise Lake for a bonfire, singsong, stories, food and drink. The bus departed for home about 9:00 p.m. ending a day that was good in both weather and company. �Paris 1968: Imagination in I Self-management by Jacqueline Croix Editor's note: This is the last of a three-part series on the revolution in France last May and June. The author, a native of France, was in Paris throughout the disturbances. The French word is "autogestion". The idea has become the key to a free, democratic, human socialism. Everywhere, in universities, schools, factories, offices, associations,even in families. the authoritarian, vertical power-structure has been shaken, if only for a short time. In Nantes, the whole body of the workers not only occupied but completely controlled the Sud-Aviation factory; in the C.S.F. factory in Brest, out of solidarity, the strikers produced"walkietalkies" for Paris demonstrators! People have become suddenly aware of the maddening circle of production for consumation and capitalist profit in western societies. They do not intend replacing it wish that other hopeless circle of production for production and bureaucratic profit in U.S.S.R. By the end of June, after the general election, de Gaulle's order seemed reestablished. Financial capital and Communist bureaucracy, and the U.S.A., and the Soviet Union, all could eventually relax. They had been so scared! But everybody felt that the recent even ts had only been the first of a series. Hope To thousands of young and older people, students, schoolboys, teachers, workers, employees, artists, and so on, May and June mean extraordinary expectations. Why such a hope? and a hope of what? From the manifesto of the action committee "NOUS SOMMES EN MARCHE•• •• "We go forward" (SOrbonnecensier) -Accept this banality: the whole body of workers can only consume what the whole body of workers produce. The whole body of workers must choose what they want to consume, in order to know what they must produce. -Publicity: for modem capi• talism, it is a "necessary and expensive evil", In fact, it is expensive only for the consumer, !iiince he bears the whole cost of it. -To produce what we want to consume, and to consume what we want to produce, will only be possible if "economics" ts everybody's business, in self-managed units prciducing·and-consum· ing "goods" and "culture... Student-worker solidarity For years this slogan had been mere wishful thinking. In May it came true. In some exemplary places, during the strike, the workers' diffidence was broken, the endevours of the Communist Party and the C.G. T. Union to keep factories and universities apart failed. Students and workers fought together in Paris and Flins, discussed with one another in the Sorbonne, organized the life of a whole town in Nantes. "The workers will take over the fiag of thestruggle from the frail hands of the students." -on a banner carried by demonstrators marching to Renault-Billancourton May 17. This is perhaps naive poetry. However, thanks to the students, the workers have been reminded of some half-forgotten truths: classsociety, exploitation and the Universities: what forl Before May, people went to universities to get knowledge (but the selection made it very hard) and to get a job (which was far from being guaranteed). r•~s~,;- b£iif8 Quick thinking and immediate action by Ted Broughton of Lakehead University's Physi• cal Plant department saved the life of a Toronto man Mon. Nov. 4. Malcolm Davidson, a conciliation officer, collapsed during ~ meeti":g. betw~en the Uni vers1 ty Admm1strat1on and the Building Services Em· ployees Union. Mr. Davidson, an el4erly gentleman, showed no signs of a pulse or heartbeat when out or became integrated in the established society. The claim for student power was a revolt against all these facts. Before May, a faculty member seldom spoke to a student. In May, they met on the same side of oL barricades-•which irrevocably changed the relation• ship. Among the hundreds of proposals moved by student-and-faculty commissions in May and June, those of "Nous Sommes en Marche" go farthest. -Since the barricades, there are no longer students, nor professors, nor ( soon) proletarians. -Any ex-student must become a teacher and still keep being taught. -Any new education unit (factory, business, publicschool, high-school, uni· versity) will be run by the whole body of the "teaching· being-taught-workers." -The full-time student is dead, so is the part-time student. Everybody will study if everybody produces, consumes and studies at the same time. -Any relationship gives education to both partners in the relationship. -Oppressive education being dead, education will become expressive. BERLIET - LIBERTE Berliet is the name of an automobile factory. When occupying the place where they had spent day after day of grey life, young workers climbed up the main entrance: mixing the big letters of the trade mark, they composed the word FREEDOM. Those who sincerely lived the experience of May '68 know that this revolution meant poetry. In May and June, hundreds of anonymous poets, writing on walls, composing leaflets and manifestoes, improvising arguments and speeches and new forms of action, discovered new relations between words and things. Into a world of shabbiness and hatred, May brought joy. Those who experienced it, now believe that it can be revived. Already on May 20, Daniel Cohn-Bendit said to Jean-Paul Sartre: "The important thing is ... to launch an experiment... which doesn't last long but opens a way: one catches a glimpse of something, swiftly ... But it is enough to prove that such a thing may exist." Threats and prospects There are serious threats. p·ower Since the end ot June, government repression has been hard against political militants. The "Movement•• must also look out for repression coming from the Communists. As a May wall-writing says humor• ously: ''Humanity will only be happy when the last bureaucrat will be hanged with the bowels or the last capitalist... (Sorbonne) In the universities, the government tries to pacify students by offering lavish reforms. This opens the prospect of universities being "red" bases for radical criticism of oppressive societies. If only the action committees find a democratic and efficient organization, and if the spirit of May is not forgotten, France might well become the first western industrialized country where the curse of techno• cracy would be overcome and where man could change his life.

The people of Lakehead University now have a chance to represent themselves in the newly-formed Town Hal I, where all can participate. Town Hall democracy is the most direct form of self-government possible. But Town Hall democracy cannot function unless the people actively participate, unless they actively accept the responsibility of selfdetermination. Within the Town Hall students have a chance to make their own decisions, to think for themselves, to try on new ideas. For if the students really participate, Town Hal I wi 11 become the most powerful voice in the University, and its decisions will become University policy. I But hold on - this is Student Power talk - radical-dangerous. At least that is what it will be called, because those presently in power positions in the University have no need of democracy. They will try to suppress it. Town Hal I wi 11 have trouble finding a meeting place. It wi 11 have trouble finding a meeting time. Motions to limit participation or to I imit its power wi II be brought up. Rules and regulations which would strangle its effectiveness wi 11 be suggested. Such hindrances will only be pushed aside by an aware, participating student body. You, as a student, can change any University policy you wish to change; You can learn any way you wish to learn, if you participate in Town Hall, and make it into a decision-making body. letters to the editor now that it is dark dear .argus now that it is dark i ichabod the Ii terate silverfish can descend from the walls where i live with millions of philosophic friends to communicate with the lesser beings who work in my argus office i have watched you carefully for lo many sleeps and have finally cracked your stupid language but who would have guessed that you would still use noises to communicate percival my friend says this is proof that no being without opposable antenae can attain intelligence but i think that this is not necessarily true imagine my joy and rapture when i saw the electric typewriter you stole well done i cried now i letters to the edit,;,r AMS Council unrepresentative 'Dear Sir: Any organization which relies upon enforced membership cannot be called a representative body.

These committees would then BE effective in their negotiations with the Administration, faculty, labour or any other group. What about the clubs and the social and cultural aspects of the present structure? If the students are interested the clubs, yearbook, newspaper and social activities will survive if they are fulfilling a useful function. The lion•s club andthejaycees don't have money collected for them by the government do they? Let's stop playing house. The most FUNDAMENTAL and CREATIVE aspects of the student body are being stifled by a bunch of activities that do not have to be USEFUL but only have to stand in line for their handout from poppa AMS. And the AMS itself cannot be justified on that basis because it relies on forced financial support and in its dependence on the Administration is robbing the students of the most effective tool in negotiation - INDEPENDENCE - from administrative control.

At best, words are poor conveyors of information. They are imprecise and must be used with the utmost care if they are to do what we want them to do. When they are used im• precisely, improperly and without regard for the many dangers inherent in them, they can tum upon the user, confounding and confusing him and eventuaUy, be the cause of the user's destruction. We of the left are in danger of falling victim to our own words. We have proclaimed to one and all that we are revolutionaries and involved in revolution. We have rroclaimed that the revolution has begun and i red flags are a sign of revolution, then indeed it has. All of us use this word, "revolution," like a manufacturer making certain that the name of his J,>toduct g_ets in every sentence of a commercial. And because it makes us feel good to be revolutionaries involved in revolution, we fail to ask ourselves if we are, indeed, in· volved in revolution; if we are, indeed, revo• lutionaries. To a limited degree, it is clear that we are involved in a revolution. A revolution, how• ever, is not the revolution and too many of us mistake the former for the latter. The revo• lution we are presently involved in is a cul• tural one, an uprising of the young against the values which the society is based upon and perpetuates. It is a revolution which has involved an explosive and painful groping for new life styles, new mores, new music, new uses of the mass means of communication. It is a revolution which has seen the \young go into the streets to confront the present with the new of their uncut hair, the new of their multi-colored clothes, covering less and less of their bodies (which are real and good and beautiful and yes yes it is nice to touch each other, isn't it?). They have been willing to accept the consequences of their new life• styles of lying on the grass openly passing 'joints,• of saying no .to the American govern· ment's immoral demand for two years of your life in a uniform to fight a war, of repeatedly placing their bodies in the streets. It has been a cultural revolution, but not a political revolution. It has been a cultural revolution with political consequences, political ramifications, political meaning, because culture and politics cannot ~ separated. It has been a middle-class cultural revolution, bearing no similarity to the cultural revolution in China, which was named with scientific prec1s1on. The proletarian Cultural Revolution. The proletariat have been the spectators of our revolution, eagerly reading the newspaper and magazine articles about us, but still regarding us as different from them. ll has been a cultural revolution which has brought an ever-growing consciousness of the necessity for a revolution which changes the economic structure of the country because all of the cultural, social and political insti• tutions of the country evolved to justify and maintain the /economic structure. While our revolution has threatened the nation's sense of psychological security, the economic struc· ture remains intact, leisurely chewing up millions of people every day. We defeat /ourselves by calling what we have brought about "revolution.". It is a step toward that revolution, but we have not begun to approach that day when we have seized power, held it and begun to create a system that is based on a sense of community (which does not mean living together physically). When we call what we have done thus far revolution, we give ourselves the feeling that we have done much, more than we actually have. We blind ourselves to the difficulties in front of us. We blind ourselves to the dangers on every side. The feeling that revolution is a necessity is the mere beginning and is really nothing to compliment oneself ·for feeling. Anyone who is not afraid to feel his humanity feels the necessity for the creation of a cociety in which man can truly be man and woman can truly be woman. The implementation of that revolution is a job requiring a scientific precision. The tide did not stop because King Canute yelled,; at it.

This system will die only if we do everything from having a correct analysis to getting shoelaces for the guerrillas who will one day be fighting. This system is highly organized and to be certain that it is maintained, the caretakers of the attend to every detail, even to the extent of trying to anticipate what details will need attending to in 50 years. We say that we are involved in a revolution because we feel better about ourselves. A revolutiona~, however, does not exist for himself. In fact it is his own self which exists least for him, because at the same time he feels revolutionized within, he feels the pain of the selves that have not been revolutionized. And as long as one man is enslaved, all of us are enslaved. Thus, Che who could've rested on his laurels, went to Bolivia. The revolution is not yet. The seeds have been planted, but whether those seeds will receive the sunlight, water and proper cul tivation which they desperately need, depends upon our ability to look honestly at ourselves and recognize that the time has come when it is suicidal self-indulgence to engage in roman• tic role-playing. When this system is threat· ened, it bares its teeth and claws and fights and cares not who sees. (The networks photo• graphed the beatings of Chicago in color.) They system plays for keeps. It will destroy us or we will destroy it. It is that simple. As Rap says, "in revolution one either walks off the battlefield victorious or is left lying there." At least, if we are left lying there, let it not be because we committed suicide. reprinted from the National Guardian Talk over your future with the Bell employment reps when they visit your campus on NOV. 21 &22 GRADS-TO-BE-IN: ENGINEERING· SCIENCE· COMMERCE • ARTS • BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION Ask at your Placement Office for informative booklets and arrange for an interview now I @ Bell Canada �.._____ sgua, novernber 14, 1988, page 6 11 Dennis Wallace - efforts were not followed up,, I, Dennis Wallace, mQve that the members of the Alma Mater Society accept my resignation as Director of Finance of the Alma Mater Society of Lakehead University, effective November 30, '1968. My resignation is based on more than premise and it is not the result of one isolated event. Rather, I am resigning because I feel the Alma Mater Society has reached, and I purposely use the past tense, a point where we need attitudes and actions radically different from the present ones. We are inadequate administratively, philosophically, and as an effective power group to carry out any policies which we feel a need to initiate. After much deliberation and discussion with others, I decided that the needed reforms will not occur without drastic action on the part of some members of the A.M.S. Council. It is too easy to slough off the criticisms of the student body or others as we seem to be an elitist group, but if there is a falling out of Council members perhaps the student body and the remaining Council members will realize the gravity of the sitt•ation. I had felt it an obligation on my part to remain Treasurer until the end of my term which is but three months away. However, I feel the situation is too important to take the easy way out. Since we are not elected on a slate, there is no real cohesion to prevent one or more members from opting out. Our inability to act is a direct result of the system of election. The A.M.S. as a body has never been representative, nor will it be under its present circumstances. We were elected under the conditions of the I950's which no longer exist. We are merely social conveners and not social reformists, even in the most minor of circumstances. The Administration realizes we are a 1 powerless, unrepresentative body, and to illustrate I use the example of President Tamblyn's dismay concerning the fact that after the Parking Committee made its recommendations, which were accepted, another was formed and then still another after that. When it reaches the point where the Administration, who would by nature want a docile Council for their own ends, finds the A.M. S. useless then it is time for the A.M.S. to improve itself. I feel that the structure is essentially satisfactory far the students of Lakehead University, but the .people making up the A.M.S. C.Ouncil are not suited for their positions. We are in a sense, more oppressive than the Administration. I back this statement up by the example of C.U.S. Resolutions, where individuals openly flaunt issues of high importance, or do not possess the judgement to realize that they are voting in completely contradictory terms on various issues. We haggle interminably over trivialities, such as, permission to buy a $30.00 Argus ad or whether we are going to have a concert in some certain fashion, but ignore to the point of being negligent, such critical issues as C.U.S. or our powers in the running of the University. Instead of being the initiators of actions, we react when they are presented to us. The usual result is to recog• nize that the situation exists and then drop the issue to replace it with debates on more concerts. By no means am I saying I am innocent. What I do say is photos by Rick Todd that I cannot continue to rationalize my posiuon and help to keep alive an unconsciously (or consciously) repressive body. If I were to do so under present circumstances, it would only be to enhance my personal prestige and possibilities for a bet• ter job because of my position. Furthermore, I am spending some thirty or more hours a week working as Treasurer and I feel my efforts are to no avail. I would not mind a lower academic standing and a lack of free time if it were not for the overriding fact that my efforts, as well as those of others, are wasted because they are not carried out further along the line. Per~~ps some people are feeling that we are already forming an efficient bureaucracy with the recent proliferation of office hours, forms for any conceivable requests, and an outwardly functioning system. However, such is an illusion. In conclusion, I would say that the Alma Mater Society is floundering and because of this is in no position to handle the many important issues which have confronted us this year. I do not fe.el that I could be a member of the Council as it presently exists because we cannot be isolated and thus insulated from .what goes on at other places, nor can we toss aside important issues. Simon Hoad 11 Council merely social convenors" I find myself more and more unable to fill my position as an Arts councillor on the present AMS council to my satisfaction. A student council can be a body for the programing of the social year. A student council could also be a body concerned with wider matters, ie, the role of the student in the university, or within the community. Either view of student councils is possible and within its own framework of preconceptions equally valid. As a council we have become incapable of acting or con• sidering serious matters beyond the arranging of Friday night dances. Our collective group rigidity has reduced us to a select set of social convenors. A large portion of our time is spent dis• cussing beaurocratic measures to self perpetuate ourselves. I cannot continue to sit on the present council under this set of conditions which so strongly conflict with my own view of student politics. My further appearances in the council chamber will be in the capacity of interested student. I will continue my member• ship on those committees or other activities I am now engaged in. Here I feel work is being done which is valuable and re• lates directly to the interests of Lakehead University students. I therefore, resign my position on the AMS council. I would recommend that future AMS council candidates make their respective philosophies concerning the function of student govern• ment known before the elections. �largus, november 14, 1968. page 7 ■ Jerry Farber's article, STUDENT AS NIGGER, appears to have by-passed Lakehead University; in this respect, and in this respect only, may the AMS be said to be representative. As I widerstand it, student government has undergone a function crisis. Student government has had to develop from the social convening function of the rooty-tooty fifties to the social convening socio-policical orientation function of the sixties. This means that student government has had to combine these two functions; by the socio-political function, I mean that involvement in issues from buses to students on Senate to Biafra This latter function has become an important one in the student government of the sixties. For the AMS of Lakehead University, the fwiction crisis has reached a critical level. I have no idea how other councils have approached this crisis; the AMS has not approached it at all. It has drifted into the socio-political orientation without ever having considered whether this is a function that the organization can fulfil or wishes to fulfil. This has serious consequences for the organization and its members. The members of this council fulfil a valid function as social convenors, •but the socio-political orientation has never been considered and thus the members are not aware what this entails and do not consider seriously the issues involved in this function. In concrete· terms, this means that the reason that the CUS resolution debate and voting show little or no evidence of logic, rationality or consistency, is that the members of this council do not take seriously the CUS resolutions. My point here is not that some resolutions for which I voted were defeated and in consequence, my nose is out of joint, but that the resolutions were not regarded as important - and the incredible voting patterns substantiate this. The implication of the attack is that, for me, the AMS is a waste of time. I do not mean that I plan to terminate any affiliation that I have with this organization, but that my activities will be limited to those committees on which I serve, and will exclude the sort of dissipation of energy that these council meet• ings mean to me. Of course, I may be attacked on the ground that I am opting Missi Powe// .. "'Council not academically oriented" out· this is not true, . . . I have no intention of .opting out. Ho~ever, I ,!iave come to realize that the coun~il ~oes not take seriousi~• that aspect of student government which interests me most - the academic freedom, the betterment of !he lot of the student both in university and in society, and most 11Dportant,the recognition that a student is not a membe_r of a select group that can deny its responsibility as part of soci~ty. . Therefore, I have come . to the conclusion that my staying on in AMS is a waste of time. It is a dissipation of my energy; and on the council, I am utterly ineffective.

It is for this reason that I cannot, in all conscience, remain a member of this body. I think the whole problem revolves around the fact that we students are compusory members of a union which, becauseof this fact cannot be a vanguard student movement. In other words, because of its membership, the AMS can only react to a situation, not initiate it. For because this union is compulsory, it creates an unfortunate effect in that the mass of members of such a union are not noted for their keen interest in academics or student affairs; and yet these are the same persons who are voting to elect members to this Council. So you see my main argument against remaining on the AMS Council is not one of personalities, but rather of structure. This type of top-heavy structure, heading such an anarchistic student body can only be effective when organizing such placebos as dances and concerts. It has no hope taking any firm action in the line of social change because the majority of its members find their personal concerns more important. This Council is partly to blame for this situation. It has shown only limited interest in making its functions more democratic. To be sure it has guaranteed open meetings to all, but it has also passed a resolution calling for a general town hall meeting at leas t once a month. So far, since this has been passed, the AMS has done nothing to bring such a meeting together. My solution to this quandry is simple. Once I step off the Council, I will attempt to have a voluntary student union formed, operating on the principle of participatory democracy. I believe such an organization is feasible at Lakehead, mainly because it is a small campus. If the members of such a union can truly feel thay can affect change at the university level (~ feeling which is absent among most members of the AMS Council), then this new wiion will be useful. It is, at this time in our history, a good idea to attempt to form a constructive grass roots alternative to turgid AMS set up. However this does not mean I will neglect the duties I have incured as a councillor for Arts on the AMS Council. I will still be greatly involved in the atte!llpt to· initiate_ a course of. India_n studies at Lakehead. I thus intend to remain on Council until the seminar on Indian Society can be held at the· end of November. My reasons for so doing are quite simple. I have been entrusted by the AMS with $1,0~. ~ intend t<? be responsi~le, ~s a councillor, to the AMS, unul this rather important seminar is held. The Indian Culture Committee needs a liason with Council, and at present I intend to be that liason as effectively as possible. My other reason for remaining might be construed as so~ewhat self-righteous. I do not know of any member. on the_ exis_ting Council that would be willing to work on this semmar m a full time capacity. Therefore, let me reiterate my positon. I will resign from Council as soon as the Indian seminar is held, not for reason of personalities, but rather for those of ~S structure. I think ~ alternative structure can not only be achieved but also can be mfinitely more worthwhile than the existing governing structure. �_mp,s, november 14, 1968, page 8 Operation Crossroads Africa: Sierra Leone Helping to build an addi• tion to a Medical Clinic in Sierra Leone, Africa and experiencing Africa "with and through the Africans with whom we worked" is the Summer '68 experience of one Lakehead University student.

ONTARIO PROVINCE OF OPPORTUNITY PARIS (CUP) -- Student dissatisfaction continues in France as schools in three French cities were occupied Tuesday (Nov. 5). Rebels seized several administration offices at the National College of Fine Arts in Paris in a demand for curriculum changes. Science students were driven from administrative offices in the University of Grenoble in a protest over the lack of student representation in decision-making at the school. They produced a newspaper and distributed leaflets to publicize their complaints. Marseille high schools were hit with a student strike after a student was summoned for discipline over distributing leaflets demanding educational reform. Pelletier supports a ··university of People'' OTTAWA (CUP) •• A uni• versity of conscience or a university of reflection was the choice secretary of state Gerard Pelletier gave admin• istrators Wednesday. Pelletier, speaking to 600 administrators at the major banquet of the Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada, left no doubt as to which alternative they should take: "It is necessary for you to break down the barrier of the aristocratic university and rebuild it as the univer• sity of the people." Administrators, said Pelle• tier, must define their role to be able to ''rationalize" it. "Surely your role must not be to maintain the status quo," he said "Rather you must expand and develop techniques, practices, meth• ods of learning and most important, the development of thought." He said burning of the university would not be stop• ped by holding "back-room meetings on how to handle the student radicals." But, it would be stopped only by consideration of "why stu• dent radicals exist, what role they could legitimately play in the university and by a serious consideration of their ideas." Pelletier examined the relationship of the state, industry and the university in his before-dinner speech, par• ticularly in reference to re• search. He emphasized the necessity of extensive research for Canadian universities but added: "The university at all costs must avoid becoming the hand-maid of industry." Judicial Committee charged Former prosecutor Art Looye leveled direct charges of incompetence at the three justices of the AMS Judicial Committee last Wednesday. The AMS will appoint three temporary justices to consider the matter in a Judicial Committee hearing. The· acting Chief Justice will decide whether the hearing will be open. Art Looye was dismissed as prosecutor by the Judicial Committee Oct. 31 "for incom• petence and for his behavior m court" according to Chief Justice Rene Larson. ~a•••• -- Stereos Television Tape Recorders 823-7686 Musical Instrument■ Record Players Radios 414 Victoria Ave., Fort William ...

Costuming was also kept at a minimum, being for the most part simply ballet tights, jeans, and the occassional representational dress. The group performs through ~vemment grants, which are not yet sufficient to support the dancers monetarily. The average age of the dancers is 20; some are high school students in Winnipeg, others work in the city. Laura Willows, one of the youngest of the group at 16, has been dancing for 11 years. She has been with the Contemporary Dancers for one year. Her favourite number is Vision Fugitives, in which she portrays the figure of Joy in an otherwise joyless setting. "I get to act in Vision Fugitives", she said. "My music is about joy--mine is joyful music." "In some dances we do portray characters, but in others, we portray moods", she added. Miss Willows spoke of contemporary dancing as "ballet with no point shoes and more hips". Another member of the group, Daniel Lordon, was in his first performance with the group Saturday night. A full-time student with the Royal Winnipeg Ballet Company, he spoke of the relationship between modem dance and ballet. "Modem dance uses classi- cal ballet training" , he said, "But it uses more natural type movements. Ballet trains you to move against your natural movements, but at the same time gives you complete control over your body. Your top is co-ordinated with your bottom, your arms and legs-it's just that regimented." "Modem dance", he added, "deals more with the feeling of the individual and the interpretation of the individual. It is a combination of mood and music." And so it was.

Most people would rather drive a FORD! MY FRIENDS ALL DRIVE FORDS!! DRIVE A FORD!!! Simon Fraser University voted 1128-685 to stay in the union. The policies of Martin Loney, CUS president-elect and past president of Simon Fraser University student council, and his activist executive of this summer, seemed doomed to failure following the fall election of a moderate slate to the SFU council. Loney was elated b7. the results and said: 'This should tum the tide for CUS". He also claimed, as a· result of his recent tour of the west, "it's very likely the Univetsity of Alberta will vote to join CUS by the end of the year." Because of Loney's position with CUS, all eyes turned to SFU to see if students there had placed the moderates in office as a reaction to student power at that campus or as the prelude to rejecting CUS policy and membership. Rob Walsh, council president, was "disappointed" with the results of the vote. He and his moderate council , voted 7-8 last week to pull out of CUS because it was a waste of money and didn't represent the majority of students in Canada. But their constituents didn't agree. Jim Harding, former activist vice-president, said: "Moderates need the mass media to scare new students. When they haven't got it, students can translate their self interests into votes." Percy • Smith, executive secretary of the Canadian Association of University Teachers, gave strong support to the union in his address to the SFU student council last week. He said: "I view the partial disintegration of CUS as nothing short of disaster." ~LKE THE HOME OF THE BRANDS See the complete line for '69 at ... GIBSON 413 VICTORIA AVE.

Edward Walker, Arts 11 l, son of Alexander Walker, Store Superintendent at Chapples, swore out one of the four affidavits which led to the ex parte injunction served November 15 prohibiting all picketing until Tues. Nov. 19. Labor's side of the story was not beard by the Judge. A Supreme Court bearing on Wednesday November 20 in Toronto will decide if any further legal action is necessary. The other three affidavits were sworn out by Lloyd Burdon, President and General-Manager of ChaPl)les Stores Limited, James Burdon Paper 'Mill employee and.. nephew of J Jo:yd l:lutdAD. and Xiexander Walker, store 5111!· erintendent, The union claims ihey contain several inaccur• acies. Injunctions normally merely limit picketing; this one halted it entirely. Union sources claim this is unprecedented in Ontario and are confident it will be changed as soon as they challenge it in court Monday afternoon. Local 409 of the International Association of Retail Clerks has been on strike against Chapples and Metropolitan Stores for six weeks over wages and seniority. Metropolitan Stores continued to operate, but Chapples closed down and re-opened last Thursday amidst massive picketing. Students have joined picket lines at Metropolitan Stores over 50 at a time have picketted Chapples. Several key incidents have occured involving members of the University community. On Wednesday Nov. 18, Mrs. Irene Hogan chief executive -photo by Todd Student's affidavit Edward Charles Walker, student at Lakehead Universit.v, and son of Alexander Walker, store superintendent at Chapples, swore out the following affidavit November 14, 1968. Ted Walker I, EDWARD CHARLES WALKER, of the City of Fort William, in the District of Thunder Bay, Student, make oath and say: 1. That I am a student at Lakehead University in the City of Port Arthur, in the District of Thunder Bay, and have a personal knowledge of the facts and matters hereinafter sworn to. 2. That on Wednesday, the 18th da)' of November, 1968, a woman identifying herself as Irene Hogan, the Sec· retary-Treasurer of Local 409 International Assoc. of Retail Clerks, appeared on campus at Lakehead University at a meeting of students at which I was present and invited and encouraged the students of Lakehead University to join in the picketing of the premises of Chapples Stores Limited at the City of Fort William, in the District of Thunder Bay. 8. That to the best of my knowledge, information and belief, the information passed on by the said Irene Hogan to the students of Lakehead University was erroneous and a deliberate attempt on her part to incite and inflame members of the student body of Lakehead University and to obtain their support for picketing of the p:emises owned and operated by Chapples Stores Limited at the City of Fort William, in the District of Thunder Bay. 4. That I make this affidavit in support of an application for an Order of this Honourable Court limiting the number of pickets in front of the premises or prohibiting picketing entirely. officer for local 409, was asked to a meeting at Lakehead University where she answered questions from students. She made no formal speech. ' It is to information at this meeting that Edward Walker referred in his affidavit when he claimed "that to the best of my knowledge, information and belief, the information passed on by the said Irene Hogan to the students was erroneous and a deliberate attempt on her part to incite and inflame members of the student body of Lakehead University, and to obtain their support for picketing. . . " For a full report of the meeting see page 5. The next morning Russ Rothney, a Lakehead graduate in honors economics, now taking post-graduate work at the University of Manitoba and here to get material for his thesis, was involved with police and Lloyd Burdon at Chapples. "One of the consistent themes in our picketing has been that children of strikers ne being hurt too," said Mr. Rothney. "We've tried to impress on the housewives that the family is involved in union matters." "I called out to this fellow with the child: •If you like that kid don't go into that store. Respect all people's children'. Now, there are plenty of witnesses to what I said. By 'kid' I meant the symbol of children in general." It is to this incident that Lloyd Burdon refers in his affidavit: ••~ ames Burdon ... attempt• ed to cross the picket line with a two and one half year old child and one of the pickets threatened the said James Burdon by stating to him, •If you like that child, don't go into that store.• As a result of this threat and in my presence, the picket was arrested by a member of the Fort William Police Department and taken into custody." Mr. Rothney was not arrested nor was he taken into custody. .. The union will bring up the discrepancy before the Supreme Court," said Mr: Rothney later. The News-Chronicle, which also did not report the second sentence of Mr. Rothney's statement, reported that ",the picket apologized." "What I said was: 'I'm sorry, Mr. Burdon, that you have misinterpreted my words.' There are witnesses to that too, and that's hardly an apology.'' Thursday night about 150 workers and over 50 students sang labor songs and chanted slogans such as "Chapples Murdered Santa Claus", __, .. Peanuts, popcorn, scabs--get them cheap at Chapples". See page 3 for photo feature. "I was there on Thursday evening when a young girl picketer was dealt a savage blow in the face from a female line-crosser," said Evelyn Ste. Croix, 8rd year Arts. .. After she had hit her, the woman said, 'She accused me of bringing up my child wrong' and when we asked the police foraction they not only refused to do anything, but they blocked us from entering the store to get her name. "The girl was shaken but she didn't cry." At closing time those working inside had to cross the picket line through a cordon of police. .. They came out in batches of twenty," said Miss Ste. Croix, "and there was no attempt at violence. But they were obviously impressed by the fact that so many people felt so strongly about strike breakers. We shouted •scab, scab, scab!• It took them about an hour to get them all through.'' Friday brought light picket· ing in the morning. The injunction halting pickets was served in the evening. Saturday there were no pickets. Members of local 409 were legally forbidden from ..picketing, watching, besetting and trespassing on or interfering with access to the premises" of Chapples. Action inside But students were under less restraint. A group of about seven members of the University community, who would otherwise have been-o picketing, decided to enter Chapples and draw attention to the strike inside. "We energetically tried on clothing, disarranged merchandise, and paraded around the store to draw attention to the fact that a strike was in process," said one of them. The students were told to leave several times by security agents. They were threatened with police action, had handcuffs waved at them, and two of the group were . ejected bodily. Later in the afternoon some union workers followed theit"'example. At 3:25 p.m. the store's intercom system came to life. .. Will all those people not presently making purchases please move to the nearest exit and kindly leave the store. All those making purchases please complete them and leave the store. Do not rush. There is no immediate danger. The store is closing." It was rumoured the store closed because of a bomb threat. �november 21. 1988. page 2 !;._;=========----------- Temporary justices suggest &r{Jls, This week ■ ■ ■ THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 21 Language Department Meeting - Room 1029 - 11:30 a.m. Viet Nam Action Committee Meeting - Aud. - 12:30 p.m. Chemistry Club Meeting - Room 021 - 2:80 p.m. Arts Society Meeting• Board Room - 7:00 p.m. Economics Club Meeting - Great Hall • 7:00 p.m. Science Festival - Rich Little Concert - Field House 8:15 j>.m.

The hearing found "no incompetence on the part of the Judicial Committee," but reconmended the resignations as it was felt there was some lack of confidence in the committee. The hearing also recommended that Defense Attorney Ron Hiller be chosen as the new Chief Justice. Chief Justice Rene Larson cornnented, ..I'm greatly releived that we have been cleared of the charge of incompetence." He added, "I can see reasons for resigning because of the lack of confidence in the Judicial Committee which might have been created by the whole affair.

E~~- . . . .~!~~ Ukrainian Club goes to SUSK The Ukranian Canadian Student' s Union (SUSK) Conference was held October 12 and 13, 1968 in St. An· drews College and St. Paul College, University of Manitoba, Winnipeg. The general purpose of the "Teach-in" was to educate the Canadian Ukrainian Students regarding the status of the "third element in the 'New Confederation'." The Lakehead University Ukram1an Club (LUUC) sent 20 delegates. The Honorable Paul Yuzyk, Senator, said that our country was in reality a multicultural nation. He felt that the rights of minorities should be protected by constitution and any and all changes should affect all Canadians~not just the French-English double "melting-pot" aspect of our society. Mr. Robert Standbury, Parliamentary Secretary, and a non-Ukrainian Canadian, was the next speaker. He said that Ukrainian Canadians are constantly working for a better Canada as are all ethnic groups. This can only be achieved by communication between the eth• nic aspects of the third element and the English- French part of the Canadian society. The third speaker, Professor N. Vallerand of College Ste. Marie in Montreal proposed, rather than assimilation; a working together, not as one, but as two towards the further benefit of Canada. The final ideal is total communication. Professor Dale Gabson of the University of Manitoba said private schools could not be built everywhere that an ethnic group congregated-money is just not available to comply with everyone's demands. He also opposed the .. melting-pot" philosophy of the United States. It was his feeling that a culturally homogeneous nation was one which caused its citizens to have a lack of tolerance with other countries. Finally, Professor B. R. Bociurkiw o( the University of Alberta spoke. In the typical "opinion-poll .. character he categorized apathy and loss of language in the Ukrainian - Canadian communities of Alberta. The National Executive of the Ukrainian Canadian University Students' Union resolved that: the Ukrainian Canadian Committee in co-operation with SUSK Secretariat undertake the youth fieldwork project submitted to the Congress as the "Lakehead Project." The original "Lakehead Project" envisaged graduates being hired for a year to work among Ukrainian youth groups in various university cities to stimulate, with their own knowledge and interest, the involvement of others.

About two hundred workers and L.U. students, shouting "Chapples killed Santa Claus" and chanting songs of solidarity and "We shall stop scab labour" picketed in a strike demonstration against the re-opening of the Chapples Stores Ltd., Fort William last Thursday. Police threatened to arrest one student who allegedly shouted threats to a 'linebreaker' but took no action when a woman picketer was slapped by another line breaking customer. The picketer had shouted "that's no way to bring up your kid" as the customer crossed the 'line' with a child. Ten minutes later the police entered the store in search of the attacker. At closing time the picketers crowded the exits, shouting "Scab .. scab!" as the specially hired strikebreakers with police escort left the building. Mr. L. G. Hurdon, President and General Manager of Chapples commented, "We don't intend to give them the keys. They are not going to run the business. I have the keys and I will keep them." Mr. Hurdon does not feel the demonstration affected the re-opening sale; he said, "ltis undoubtedly a good sale crowd." He felt the students did not have an oppor- tunity to investigate and form an opinion of the situation. The demonstration, called by Local 409, Union of Retail Workers, was also strongly supported by most of the other workers' unions in the area. The strike was endorsed by the Fort William - Port Arthur and District Labour Council. The issues in dispute are seniority and wages. According to the Labour Council, "Chapples keep contingency staff working, while regular employees are on short hours. Their last wage offer to 409 was a 5% increase plus 8¢ per hour, when the Ontario Minister of Labour had announced a 80% increase in minimum wages.•• The Council believes this inadequate. Following breakdown of negotiations, the Union decided on Sept. 24th to strike. The stores were closed from Oct. 2nd until the management announced re-opening on Nov. 14th with' scab' employment and large cuts in prices.

There is no need to decide whether the Town Hall will be a decision-making body, or simply a pressure group. Similarly, there is no need to set a quorum, or to follow some of the other regulations of elected bodies such as the AMS, whose faulty structure first caused initiation of the Town Hall. Rules will grow when needed. It is issues that are important; structure is next to irrelevant in comparison. Structure shduld serve only to al low discussion and action. When structure impedes representative action, it should be thrown out. In the Town Hall last week, a quorum of 150 was suggested by a group of less than 150 students. If less than 150 students show up at the next meeting and are unable to do anything because they are short of a quorum, interest -· will quickly fade. But even if only 30 students show up, and make decisions, and act on their decisions, then Town Hall will be started. For issues, and not structural discussions, will make Town Hal I a success by drawing participation from the university community. This week a parking petition will be brought to the Town Hall. More important, student involvement in the Chapples strike should be discussed. But these issues might never reach the floor if some .AMS councillors and others tie things up with quorum discussions again. Ideally, in an election, the people elect representatives to deal with problems. The representatives deal with the problems regardless of how many people vote in the election, because al I have the freedom to vote. In the Town Hall, the people deal directly with problems, and should be free to deal with them regardless of how many participate, because all have the freedom to participate. Thus a quorum serves no purpose in the Town Hall, and can only be a hindrance. If Town Hall meetings are announced in advance, and if the issues to be discussed are publicized, then students have the choice of part1cipation, and the responsibility implied in that choice. It could be a very educational experience.

CENTRE st. 184 Algoma Port Arthur, Ont. Controversy over a quorum and other structural matters highlighted last Friday's Town Hall meeting. Students suggested a quor• um of 150 be set, but at the time of the vote there were less than 150 people present. The number present fluctuated throughout the meeting, as students left or returned from classes. Chairman Simon Hoad said the recommendation would be con·sidered at this week's Town Hall when hopefully 150 people will attend. The quorum question arose from discussion of what power the Town Hall should have: whether it should be a decision-making body requiring a quorum, or whether it should be a pressure group. Several students felt a quorum was not needed, pointing out that any member of the University Community can attend and vote in the Town Hall. They felt this structure excluded the possibility of any minority taking over against the will of the University Community and therefore made unnecessary the restriction of a quorum. They also pointed out that if issues to be :voted on were publicized in advance, all would have the opportunity to participate. However, a large number of the people felt a quorum was necessary to protect those students who do not wish to attend Town Hall meetings. They felt that if a few students could make policy in the Town Hall, then many students would be forced to attend -the meetings 10 avoid a minority ruling. With the quorum, however, students would not be forced to participate because that anyone be allowed to if only a small minority of the attend.

Mr. Wallace felt the begining of Town Hall discussions and the problems of anyone taking over the position of Director of Finance in the middle of the year opened the way for him to run again. Mr. Wallace won the yes or no vote, handily. Robert Gibson, a Uni• versity Schools Councillor won the election for VicePresident of Academics, defeating two other candidates, Fred Kelly and John Pallett. A discussion developed before this election over Mr. Gibson's not resigning his seat before the election. The Council decided that because the election was within Council itself, he should not have to resign his seat. Bob Gibson automatic acceptance of credits within the provincial educational system. • An elected admissions board made up in ·equal part by students and faculty. • The opening of all registrar's files. • More money for education and equitable financing for all post-secondary institutions. When the senate rejected the student demands, the 300 students walked out, held an emergency meeting and decided to seize the administration building. The occupiers have sealed off all entrances with filing cabinets and chains. They open the front doors for five minutes every hour for through traffic. The senate, in rejecting the demands, offered to set up a committee to review the admissions situation. The students did not even bother to discuss the possibilities of a compromise. The occupiers say they will not leave the building until their demands are met. - �ars,.,s. november 28, 1968, page 2 This week.

Political awareness was the third reason for the revolt. Mr. Hersant said the Vietnam war gave students the political motivation necessary. During debates of Vietnam, the students "took the habit of thinking, reasoning and acting outside the political parties, outside of the official structures. In other words, they became aware of their power ... The University had to burst." Like University admini· strators in Canada, Mr. Hersant split the revolting students and professors into two camps: the reformists and the revolutionaries. "Some preferred to meditate in study commissions - they were the reformists. Others preferred to act in action committees - they were the revolutionaries:' The reformists had four parts to their programs. The first is the decentrallization of the universities, or more autonomy for the individual universities. "There would still be a Minister of Education, there would still be a control on exams. It means universities will become part of their region instead of being the slaves of Paris." The second is self-admini- speaks on glaciers NOW TILL SATURDAY NAtlCNAI. ClNl1IAl PICT\Jtl[S l'RHDffS.

Mr. Yves Hersant, Cultural Attache at the French Embassy in Ottawa, spoke to a small audience of 40 last Tuesday at the first of a series of three lectures on the Nature of the University. Mr. Hersant blamed the large increase in the student population since the Second World War as the first cause of the revolt. "There were in France, in 1955, 15,000 students. There are this year 600,000." Mr. Hersant feels that a large number of students is a good thing. However he added, "you must be able to educate them, you must have the room, you must have the professors, you must have the will." He said the "organization of the French university dates to Napoleon I." Changes have been made but not enough. Mr. Hersant outlined the second cause of the student revolt as "that the French university is or was a state university.

Dr. Grosswald, who received a Ph.D. in glaciation from the University of Moscow, described the many dozens of research institutes in the northern regions of the Soviet Union.

In the Pleistocene epoch, glaciers in both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres covered large parts of existing continents , and shallow areas on the outskirts of the land masses. The Hudson Bay area, which was once the center of the ice sheets in North America, is now uplifting at the rate of two metres per century and it is calculated that should the Arctic and Greenland ice sheets melt completely, the oceans would rise approximately 80 metres, enough to flood many coastal cities. Mr. Grosswald will be going to the Universities of Minnesota and Saskatchewan, for additional talks. stration. Mr. Hersant stated that this means '' from an administrative point of view, a university must be directed by students and professors together on an equal basis." Democratization is the third point of the reformist plan. Mr. Hersant said "The students asked for programs for exams for a recruitment that would take allowance to the lower class." The last principle that Mr. Hersant related in the reformist program is that "the University must be a centre of permanent reflection where students and professor can and must challenge knowledge and society as much as the university itself." The last principle that Mr. Hersantrelated in the reformist program is that "the University must be a centre of permanent reflection where students and professor can and must challenge knowledge and society as much as the university itself." The other polarization of ideas of the students and professors is the revolutionaries. Mr. Hersant feels there are two sides to the aims of this group, the political side which failed in June and the cultural side. He said the cultural side of the French revolt "welcomed all suggestions, all opinions, even the anarchist ones. The result was an extraoridinary liberation of speech .... While the workers were on strike, the intellectuals were in ferment." The slogans of the revolution were "Imagination has taken power" or "It is forbidden to forbid." Mr. Hersant then reached some conclusions. One is that "students are clearly aware that they belong to the middle class: they are not proletarians. The revolt of the middle cl ass against itself." Mr. Hersant said one of the results of the revolt has been "an effort to analyse the relations that might exist between the university and society." Also the new Minister of Education· ' 1has decided to comply with many if not most of the student wishes. We will soon know if it was a good idea or not."

She felt they had made a foolish and ugly display of themselves in public. Why should students worry about workers' struggles; about American imperialistic actions in Viet Nam; about Biafra and other centres of human struggle in the world today? Why don't they mind their own business and concern themselves with being students? I said nothing, because I recognized her slumber. Like so many others on this vast bed or earth, she's asleep. They all must die. Their narrow and isolated way of thinking must be snuffed out right where they sleep. Only then, through this process of re-evaluation could they awaken to new and objective thoughts - to the level of consciousness where they could truthfully see the world the way it exists today and recognize its tragic stage of puppets and puppeteers. The sleeper sees the students within the framework of boring classes and cramming of outdated facts culminating in the sweat of an examination. But this is too limited for learning processes which are perpetual. The student is forever subjected to diversified learning forces of society. At the same time he is part of the being of these forces - so that the student is the teacher and the teacher is the student. Then those who have already awakened do not go out of their way to "get involved," they simply "are involved." Throughout the world, students are fighting for some measure of control of what should constitute the formal aspect of their learning. Workers are fighting for better working conditions and functionable wages. The fight is on for liberation, equality, acceptance and "dignity". We cannot isolate each of these struggles. We cannot draw solid lines of distinction. They are all part of one and the same co ncern--an age-long of concern is to fail to acknowlecJge our lives as being both "personal and communal." We must identify ourselves with this purpose or choose the materialistic slumber of escapism. The title of this article is borrowed from a pamphlet distributed in Trinidad, West Indies, by a group of folk-lore researchers of which I am a member. It is relevant here to put down the basic philosophy of this group. The group stipulates this 'awakening' as a participation of experiences "in the hope that a scale of consciousness emerges which enables us to see ourselves as well as we really are - in our personal as well as our communal lives - so that w'e can begin to order our lives in relation to our own experiences and our own environment. -to make us see developments we had not intellectually ordered or arranged. -to open ourselves as it were to a vision of consciousness where all things and all peoples assume a mity of correspondence at a dimension of experience, of suffering made possible by a striving for excellence in all fields of labour... only when they die'' and universal struggle of man's exploitation of man, which manifests itself in student power, Vietnam, Biafra, labour disputes, negroes in America, neo-colonial countries, the Third World and others. To divorce ourselves from this oneness The members of this group are awake. The marchers at Chapples are awake. I am awake. Are you? Students and closed meetings MONTREAL( CUP)--A closed meeting of the McGill University Arts and Science faculty council adjourned abruptly Tuesday (Nov 19) when 50 students broke into the session and refused to leave. The students entered the eighth-floor council room while the meeting was in progress, stood between rows of faculty members, and listened to the proceedings. Dean D. D. Woods asked student president Robert Hajaly, a member of the group, to instruct the students to withdraw. Hajaly said he had no authority to instruct his fellow students to leave or stay and that their presence was justified in any case. Student vice-president Peter Foster asked ihcJt a vote on openness be taken immediately. Woods demurred and again asked the students to withdraw. Laurier Lapierre, a history professor, supported the students and called for more "flexibility". He said the council was "slowly leading ·tself into immobility". A faculty member, Leo Yaffe (an arch foe of any student representation anywhere) then moved to adjourn "with regret". The motion carried 64-49. LONDON, Ont.(CUP)--The University of Western Ontario senate took off its shoes to dip its toes in the cold water of democratized university government.

Even this is plagiarism. Call our office any day. communication Last week the administration showed its disregard for student requests again. This time the request was only for discussion. President Tamblyn was asked to come to Town Hal I to discuss parking problems with the students or to send someone else if he could not attend. He refused both requests, saying that this discussion should be kept within the University Committee. The University Committee is supposed to aid in studentadministration communication. It has failed at this, succeeding only in burying student problems. The purpose of Town Hall is open communication within the university community. But it too wi II fail if administrators refuse to participate, refuse to get involved, refuse to discuss their policy-policy which directly affects students, pol icy over which students have no control. There were 954 signatures on a petition challenging that policy. Apparently 954 is not enough. Would 1500 be enough? Would the signature of every single person at Lakehead University be enough? Or would the administration still shy away from open discussion? Dr. Tamblyn speaks of a "community of scholars" and tells students they must "get involved". But when students begin to ask questions, the administration tries to stop it by ignoring them.

Three book reviews domplete this issue. In the range of subject matter, this, the second issue of the Review, surely has an advantage over the first Review, published Spring, 1968. It must be coincidental that the contributions, in either section of the Review, which proved to be most interesting and lucidly written originated from Lakehead's Philosophy Department. Dr. Doan's essay entitled "On Whitehead's Choice of Civilization as a Symbolic Language System" illuminates as• pects of Whitehead's philosophy which indicate the philosopher's concern about communi• cation, and systems of communication. According to Whitehead, "our problem is ... to fit the world to our perceptions, and not our perceptions to the world". Since the symbols of civilization are the popular meanings of common speech, and forms which express emotions, it is possible to define "objectified fonns of social behavior as sub-species of civilized language". Dr. Doan skillfully leads the reader through the very heart of Whitehead's thinking to reconcile the abstract idea of civilization with the concrete concept of language. A most challenging essay, hampered only by an effusion of quotation marks, which more often than not interupt the reader's train of thought. The book review of Bertrand Russell's Autobiography, Volume I, by Mr. Ripley, again of the Philosophy Department, proves to be the most interesting book review of the three published in this issue. Although perhaps academicians will argue that the other book reviews, by Dr. Arthur and Dr. Dodd, are every bit as well conceived and written as Mr. Ripley's, they do not possess the same en• thusiasm, nor do they present the same feeling of enjoyment concerning the respective books reviewed. Perhaps it is because Mr. Ripley is alone among the three reviewers in concluding his review on a non-critical note: perhaps it is due simply to the abilities of Russell himself both as an author and as an amazing individual. Glimpses into the book, offered by Mr. Ripley, indicate that Russell has done well in presenting the charismatic struggles within his own younger mind, punctuating deep sections of his book with descriptions of his antics as a student and a shrewd character analyst. Three essays of local interest, and applicability to the local situation, are included in this issue of the Review. Dr. Mothersill, wr,iting on "Grain Size Analysis of LongshoreBars and Troughs, Batchawana Bay, Lake Superior, Ontario", concludes his study with scientific data regarding sedimentation which can be applied to further geological interpretations. "Workers, Wages and the Cost of Living", by Mr. Crowe, describes the problems of establishing an acceptable, workable agreement between unions and employers, and explains the present disinterest in such agreements. He traces the development of a Sliding Scale based on retail prices from its conception in 1780, through several wars and depressions, to the present. The delicacy of the balance between wages, cost of living, and labour dissatisfaction is a point, though not stated directly, which is very much in presence throughout the essay. The article which perhaps would appeal to most Lakehead residents in Mr. Davies' state• of Northwestern Ontario's case. Written on "Agriculture in the Northern Forest", Mr. Davies' essay results from extensive surveys conducted in the local agricultural area. From the historical point of view, Northwestern Ontario has always been a problem for agriculturalists. Loans and grants were offered to persuade people to take over the land, but always the land seemed to win its freedom. "The patterns of land use recorded reflect the continuous struggle of the northern farmer with a harsh physical environment and the difficulty of finding and supplying markets," writes Mr. Davies. "Problems inherited from earlier times pervade the scene." The delicate transitional state in which Mr. Davies finds Northwestern Ontario agriculture, and his re• commendations, add to our understanding of this area. And the Review is not without a political essay. Dr. Raffo examines "The East Fulham By-Election" as the point when Britain either chose re-armament after World War I, or pacifism. Faithfully documented from The Times, Dr. Raffo has raised the question of whether this bi-election was actually of such great historical importance. In the often ambiguous words ·of politicians, was the issue of pacifism actually put before the electorate? An essay of considerable penetrations and research, the Canadian-born reader should be informed before hand that East Fulham is in England, although he would probably suspect so all along. The Lakehead Review in its second issue presents something to everyone's taste. It is a cleanly printed book, with a professional format, and not an unusual number of typographical mistakes. It does, unfortunately, have several major technical errors in the following of a standard in its format, particularly in essays where considerable amounts of statistical data are presented. This, however, does not readily hamper the reading of the Review. ( The Lakehead Review is on sale at the Bookstore; cost is $1.25.)

The final score was 80-72 in favour of the Pointers. Dan Carroll was high scorer for L.U. , with twenty-one points, followed by Holmstrom with eleven. As well, CarroU nailed sixteen rebounds while Phil Fury hauled in twelve. For the Pointers, Bush led the first half with twelve, while Cole came on strong in the second half for twenty-one points. Assistant coach of the Pointers, Donald Baker, was surprised and thankful for Friday's game but felt the Nor'Westers were a better team than they appeared and that Saturday's game would be stiffer. Saturday proved Mr. Baker to be right. Dan Carroll opened the scoring before the first minute was up. It was a different team as the half-time score showed with L. U. leading 46-30. Carroll scored fifteen points in the first half followed by Fury with eleven. Cole, for the Pointers, hooped twelve. Don Holmstrom, who fought diligently on the defense during the first half, was forced to leave the game in the second half when he picked up his fifth foul. The last three minutes of the game were electrifying as the Pointers fought their way back and came within two points of tying the game. The Nor'Westers fought hard to hang on to their lead.

L.U. hockey team loses two In two closely fought con• tests last weekend, the Nor' Westers were defeated by I.C.H.A. champions Lake Superior State Lakers. Saturday saw the Nor' Westers open fast with a goal by Dave Siciliano at 1:17, assist· ed by Munay Smith and Dwight Stirrett. The Lakers answered with four before the end of the first period. Scoring for the Lakers were Thompson, Comley and MacArthur with two. The second period was all Nor'Westers as once more they opened fast, with Moores scoring from Stirrett and Smith at the twenty-four second mark. Midway through the period Moores slipped a pass to Jimmy Gellert from behind the Lakers net and Gellert made no mistake as he rifled it home to narrow the gap to 4-3. Before the period was over the Nor'Westers tied it up with Nuttall scoring on a pass from Smith. The tempo of the game changed into a close-checking affair in the third period with neither side getting many good shots on goal. Orazietti broke the tie at the 12: 14 mark to put the Lakers ahead to stay. Comley, with his second go al of the evening late in the period, made the score 6·4 in favour of the Lakers, and that was how it ended. Lakehead' s goalie, Gordie Bishop stopped twenty-nine shots for the Nor'Westers and Thompson thirty• four for the Lakers. Don Ostaff threw the stiffest check of the game, sending Fuller of the Lakers clear over the boards into the aisle. The crowd was the biggest in two years in the Arena. Sunday, in a much rougher contest, the Nor'Westers were out-muscled as they took it on the chin for the second time. The Nor'Westers had the majority of the play and also outshot the Lakers twenty-nine to twenty-three, but were defeated 3-2. The opening period was scoreless as both teams missed several good chances, and it was not until midway through the second period that the deadlock was broken. Randy MacArthur, last year's scoring champion, put a soft shot in the Lakehead net. Booth made the score 2-0. At 1:04 of the third period, Kacarevich put the Lakers ahead 3·0. The Nor'Westers were not to be denied. They finally caught fire when Siciliano fed a lead pass to Gellert, who made a picture pass to Stirrett, who slipped the puck into the open righthand side of the net. The score was narrowed to 3- 2 at the 11:41 mark at Stirrett got his second goal again on picture passing play, this time from Morgan and Tapak. The Nor' Wes ters tried in vain to tie the score, and at one time had a two man advantage, but they were unable to dent the armour of Laker goalie Thompson. The final score remained 3·2 in favour of the Lakers. The Nor'Westers now have their work cut out for them if they hope to capture the crown from the Lakers, who have a four point lead. This weekend the Nor' Westers play host to Michigan Tech's freshman club. Game time is 8:00 p.m. Saturday night and 1:00 p.m. Sunday afternoon. This is homecoming weekend.

FORT WILLIAM The Fashion Store for The Style Conscious StudBllt For The Unique Gift This Christmas Visit The Treasure House 7 south cumberland street. port arthur �agus. november 28. 1968, page 8 Of napalm, and young children, and devastation by Bob Leggett Mickey Murray is a matronly type of woman, the kind each of us has had for a Sunday School teacher at some early stage of our life. Last Tuesday when she spoke for the Vietnam Action Committee she wore a conservative green suit with a wide brimmed hat. It was adorned with a pheasant's feather, which added the exact finishing touch to the stereotype idea one forms about matronly old ladies. Her speaking style, however, was inconsistent with her physical appearance, as was her topic. Mrs. Murray spoke of her recent trip to North Vietnam where she was a delegate representing the Twin Cities Committee for Peace and the Canadian Council of Women. She told the small audience of the pitiful conditions in North Vietnam. She spoke of young children going to schools where they sit with their feet in trenches which serve as escape passages to the shel tees when the bombers come. When she described the devastation of small rural Vietnamese villages her lips became tense. She seemed to shock her listeners with her narration of the destruction caused by American napalm. Fear of delayed action bombs and the dreaded pellet bomb was prevalent. She said everywhere she went in the country she was escorted for her protection. Mrs. Murray described the torture methods used by the South Vietnamese and their American allies on the people of the north when they were captured. One young peasant woman, whose picture she circulated, told her how she had been imprisoned for months and tortured by soldiers of the south for imformation, while the Americans looked on in silent approval. The Vietnamese people, according to Mrs. Murray, are still very confident. In her words, "they are people born into war." She said their courage stems from dissent in the U.S. and the fact that most of the south is in sympathy with the National Liberation Front. Those at the gathering were mostly sympathetic to Mrs. Murray's cause, and in this way her speech was a failure, as it gathered few new disciples. At the end of the meeting one student casually mentioned "it sure wasn't like Sunday school" ..... and it probably never will be again. Have you heard the one about the French Anibassador's wife?
