COUNCIL REPORT, FEBRUARY 7. A. letter was read to council from Mr. Morgan which stated that he disapproved of the A..M.S. report of the February 1st meeting, in the Medium, concerning Food Management . He felt that this should not have been printed in the newspaper, and that either the newspaper or the A.M.S. should send a note of apology to Mr. Childerhose. He also mentioned that the first reading, for him and Mr. Childerhose, was in the Medium. As the author of this previously mentio·ned r eport, I say it is my duty to report any proceedings of the Council to the student body. If this matter was not fully prepared, it should not have been presented to council, and the principals involved should have waited until the correct authorities were notified, There was ample time to ask that this matter be withdrawn from the Newspaper report prior to printing , if this request was warranted by the editors . After the reading of the letter, President Hess th,cn introduced Mr. Childerhose, representative of Food Management Services ~ To pre- vent misunderstandings, a motion was carried that the newspaper not be allowed to report on the matter at hand. I sugge st that the members of the A.M.S., who voted on this motion, read Section II, Article XI of the Constitution, under the title - Meetings; in which, it states that any member of the A,M.s., (which includes any full-time student) shall be en·titled, subject to the seating capacity of the room in which the meetings of the A.M.S. council are held, to attend meetings of the A.M.S. council meeting, the Medium has a duty to inform any absent members of the A.M.S, of the proceedings. As there were a few nonparticipant A.M.S, members there, all others have a right to hear the busines·s at hand . Considering the council knowledgeable of its own constitution, especialiy the President, this reporter discontinued his notes and relaxed to listen to the arguments presented. by W.M. (Jack) Lemmon. In the February 3, 1966 issue of "the Medium 11 that was very bitter and equally unjustified. The around the failure of the i . M. S. to allot funds to This club wished to send delegates to a convention there was an article article centred a political club . in Toronto. It only stands to reason that the governing student body of a University cannot be expected to give funds to a political club for that political club to furthe r its own political objec tives . If the Lakehead University Alma Mater Society had given money to the political club as requested, it would then be sponsoring directly candidates for a Senior Political Party - when not all of Lakehead University's seven-hundred and twenty students agree with the philosophy of that particular political party. It has been said that if the .A..M.S. had allowed the political club to send delegates to the conference in Toronto, the delegates wnuld return to the Lakehead much informed and better able to tell the students of the policies of the Senior Political Party. This is clearly a furthering of the political ambitions of one political party at the expense of all the students at Lakehead University . Another point of discussion was the reason why the A.M.s. Council had allowed political clubs on campus if the A.M.s . would not allot money for the political clubs to send delegates to nation-wide political conventions. As these political clubs were allowed to exist, the Council obviously recognized the necessity of having a knowl edge of the �2 political situation in the world today o However, it is not in the best interests of the whole student body to send delegates to conventions in order to better propagate ·the political philosophy of only one party~ At this time, it is neither financially nor physically possible to sponsor delegates to all party c onve ntions. Who draws the line? And where? The A.M.S. has drawn the line in the best interests of the student body as a whole, not just a few! Jack Edwards, (A.M.S. Science Representative.) CHIP ON HY SHOULDER. The aim of any newspaper is awareness. It is in an attempt to make the student body of Lakehead U. aware of elections that this issue has set up. February 16th is the date that students will cast . their ballots for the l.M.S. Executive of 1966-67. It is of vital importance to every student 1. that he cast his ballot, exercising hi~ franchise 2. that he exercise that franchise as an enlightened votero Each candidate· has a platform of proposals for the next year o It is • your duty to be aware of just what a particular candidate stands for and to know ~ho the candidates are. To help in this department the Medium has compiled the following list of candidates as of 4 p .. mo lfebruary 9th, the close of nominationso W. Tocheri - President Mike Wainwright - President Ian Thompson - Vice•-Prosident Ron Hider •·· Treasurer Donna Brownlee .. Secretary If you do not know the identity of the candidates your vote is not only a wasted effort it could seriously damage the governing mechanism of next year 1 s A.M.S. Council, You are encouraged to read the platfo.rms of tpe candidates for the Presidency; I fr, Tocheri and Mr. 1.ifainwright. You are also asked to watch for election conferences that may be held next week before the election day, The Medium is doing its best set up a press conference open to the student body where students will be able to get acquainted with candidates and freely question them on University and election issues~ Signs will be posted telling students the locat~on of the polls on election day. 1 to To th,is editor two issues particularly stand out. The first is that of Universal Accessability -· government paid academic and residence fees for University students. This affects you and I and it is an issue that, our governments are soon going to have to deal with. What will the view of our A.M.S. Council be? ~ould we settle for a more immediate solution to such rising costs by cutting fees only, or removing academic fee~ completely and leaving residence fees or vice versa? Residence fees for a single room vJill rise in the fall of 1966 to.. 1725. A. double room will cost d~6506 What will the effect of this be on present residence students? This is a question not only a:, Lake head but at every Canadian University. Your council is guided to a large extent by the stand of the executive. Where will they stand on such an issue? You and I cannot afford to cast an ignorant vote when the stakes are so higho Academic fees will rise also next fall. Secondly this University is an expanding University. What is the relationship between students, faculty, and administration? Should students have representation on the Senate or on a 11 Universi ty Council, 11 a sounding bpard for problems and expansion of facilities in both ~aculty and coursGs to be offered? At prGsent these issues involve a twostep process of student to faculty or student to administration and on up. What about the Board of Governors 9 Here the possibilities of a 11 University Cound_l 11 apnear r,,a,,,tic"l"l"'~-v d ,,,c, ·:_roL:_~:rt would !Jl'0~66e ·n �3 opportunity for fences down discussion by all concerned with the ·Lakehead University situation on an equal basis. There are many issues and many questions. But the most important fact of all is this. The freshman vote equates 1:1.with tha.t of upperclassmen. This means that the freshmen vote decides the issue and he has to live with the results next year in campus student administration. You can 1 t afford to vote without being certain of who is involved and exactly what he or she stands for. Vote as you please but voteFebruary 16, 1966. · FRIDAY PRESS CONFERENCE. An open press conference will be held Friday, February 11th at 1:00 in the cafeteria. At this time a battery of reporters from the Medium will direct questions to the candidates for position of President. Students are asked to attend the conference but public questions will be restricted to·a Town Hall Heeting next Monday afternoon. MIKE WA.INWRIGHT - ARTS II PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE.

I would like to present the following points for your consideration in making your Presidential choice, Wednesday, February 16th. In presenting myself as a candidate, I feel that my experience as an executive member . in your student government over the past two years has given me a keen •insight into the problems and interests of Lakehead University students. The A..M. S. council has a wonderful opportunity to inaugurate new and. progressive programming for thoir student body. The following ideas and recommendations are of major concern:- 1 The !{.M.S •. council will be handling a minimum of ~30,000 next year. Foresight and definite planning can provide many new and beneficial programmes for every student. - the ~20 caution fee (totalling a minimum of ~20,000) must be eliminated or controlled by the students themselves. - increased revenue can be obtained by proper investment and early organization of student activities. II Athletics - additional support should and will be made to athletics. My recommendations for s e tting up of a joint student - administrative athletic board to · provide better scheduling of athletic events in the ��� Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Tho wotion was carried. Trensuror Wnyno Tochorii in orctor to stop the lag in funds to thJ ~,H.S. from functions hold by Clubs or SocietiGs, expressed a strong plDQ thGt the position of the Trcqsurcr bo reinforced, He outlined a �[· p,"llicy rn which the .A.M.S. would freeze the accounts of any functions that were late coming in, I-t was .suggested by Mr. Jack Edwards (Science) that since sometimes it is individuals and not Clubs who ·1vere at fault, this ruling seemed a bj_t harsh. It was agreed that a statement of explanation could be drawn up j_f the funds were not forwarded. A. motion was carried that all clubs and societies in the University respect a one week deadline ofter functions to hand in receipts or give a valid reason in writing why said r~ceipts cannot be handed in; and the validity of thP.se reasons be lef't to the discretion of t;he Ti.~easurer. It was amend•ed by Mr. Barry Smith (Science). to rea~ that all clubs and societies be notified of this decision. In his next remarks. the Treasurer, in suggesting an audit of the Treas~ry books for tho e~d of his term, stated that it would be economically unf0asible and that he couJd proc.uce certified statements of the validity of his accounts. He offerec. these accounts to anyone who would personally wish to audit them, even though they seemed to be on an undisc iplinecl system. He speculated that the cost of an audit would be over ~100 and again strossed the unneces s ary expense in this move. A. motion which read, 11 the question of auditing and changing of bookkeeping of the A.M.S. Treasury Dept. be put into the hands of the Finance Cammi ttee 11 , was carrie d, 'I'he Finance Committee is made up of members of the A.M.S. Council and chaired by the Treasurer. President Hess then presented a question as to how the delegates (3) to the ORCUS (Ontario Regional Canadian Union of Students) conference be chosen. It was decided that this decision be left to the Executive. The conference will be held in 'roronto, on .January 20th to 30th. Mr. Barry Smith~ President of the 1/iinter Carnival Cammi ttee, outlined how the Con1.111ittee was 193 in debt and would <1lso need another ~100 for Carnival activities. He suggested repayment from the proceeds of the Formal dance. The condition of the roads on Campus was discussed and President Hess and Mr, Smith said they were doing everything in their power to improve the condition of the roads. It was moved and carried that if the Winter Carnival Committee exceeds the budget by a sum great-• er than can be covered by profits from the Formal dance, that it will be covered by the l.M.S. A discussion on the hiring of bands for the Winter Carnival functions Treasurer Tocheri mentioned he knew several bands which would play for the full week for a special or package rate. Chief Justice Dutchuk sugeested that this could lead to trouble with the Muscian 1 s Union. Mr. w. Aitken (Bus. Adm.) outlined that each club function might not like the same ban -:l and moved that the hiring of bands be left up co the individual organizations holding dances during Winter Carnival. This was carried, with the final remark by Treasurer Tocheri that even record dances could lead to trouble with the Muscian 1 s Union. was disputed, 1 The actions of the A. M. S. regarding the supposed 11 Get Acquainted 11 dance with Northwestern University of Minneapolis was criticized from the floor. After the dance had been planned, Mr. D. Gardiner, A.M.S. Business Manager, phoned the Program Consultant of the Fort William Ski Club to inform him of the dance. He found that arrangements for enter-tainment had already been made, nnd the Program Consultant from the Ski Club urged the University to stop publicity on the dance. Mr. J". Edwards (Science) suggested that in future more direct ties be made with the Chambers of Commerce 01, both cities nnd moved that the LM.S. should write Northwestern for more definite arrangements on future trips, as well as, an apology for hav~ng sponsored a social event without consulting the guests, Dr. Merrill, representing W.U.S,C. (World University Service Conference), outlined a progrRm for a conference on Turkey in Waterloo. Dr. Merrill requested a loan to cover expenses for 2 delegates to this conference~ including Miss Rosanne Candido, chosen as one of 39 delegates from across Canada to travel to Turk9V for W.U.S.C. He also mentioned that this loan would be repaid from funds taken in from the W.U.S.Ccmovies and other function •• A motjon was carried that the A.M.S. should advan~s �5 ~--·w. U.S .C. ~100 per delegate, with no more than 2 delegates, for a .con-- .. ference on Turkey in Waterloo. Mr. W. Roman Petryshyn, (Arts) next read a letter from Mr. Morley Mitchell, Editor of the Literary Review. In the letter, Mr. Mitchell outlined his dismay at the lack of material for this project and because of this disinterest, had to return the grant from the 1\.M.S. He suggested that the funds not spent be forwarded to the accounts of the Mediwn. Treasurer Tocheri said that the reason that the newspaper had trouble was the fact that the interest had waned in the staff and referred to the :&st unpublished issue as garbage. Mr. Petryshyn sugeested that the money be reverted to the Account of next year 1 s Review. Mr. T. Kelly, (Arts Society) suggested that a monetary prize should be set up next year~ so that this would give students a greater impetus to submit material for the Review. Chief Justice Dutchak suggested a literary supplement to the newspaper. Mr. F. Penner (Science) suggested the formation of a Literary Club. It was moved that the full !1!;500 allotted to the Literary Review revert to the A.H.S. and th~t recommendations be made to next year's Council to set aside the money for the Literary Review. A second point by Mr. Petryshyn, concerning night classes, and the reason why students must take them, was tabled for further discussion. A motion was carried that the Finance Committee look into the matter of honoraria and make concrete recommendations at next meetings which will be held before the close of nominations for the next year's Executive of the A..M.S. 11 Honoraria 11 is the reimbursement for time spent by the Executive in the form of special favours, usually monetary. After descriptions of conduct at past dnnce, it was moved that a special Police Force, composed of A.M.S. members should bring offenders during Winter Carnival or later, before the Judicial Committee for trial. A.ny member of the fl. .M.S. was urged to write a formal note of complaint if they noticed any misdemeaners. The meeting wearily ended at 11:15 p.m. Jean Jordan and Jack Edwards are selling tickets to the Winter Carnival Formal. The price is ~3.00, with dancing starting at 10;00 p.m. in the New Library. See you there. Powder Puff Panthers Looking for Scalps. The girls of Nemissa are learning the finer arts of footbo.11 i.n preparation for the big game with the boy 1 s university basketball team. The game will take place Thursday, J3nuary 27th between the New Library and the Cafeteria, at 2:00 p.m. The Panthersj in training camp since last Wednesday, nre odds on favorites to take the boys for two touchdowns. As a handicap, the boys hnve nf;reed to ho.ve their feet hobbled one foot apart and tie their left hands behind their backs.

The cause of this epoc-~aking development in international affairs is to be found prj_marily in Asia. The Soviet Union's gradual shift from a revolutionary to a revisionist stance is directly related to the Sino-Soviet n ideological 11 schism. The Moscow-Peigping split, however is caused not by the fleeting b ubble 0f a difference of opinion but rather on empirical phenonona that wi2.l be a~ound for quite a w~1ile. Firstly J the split is occ2..s:i.oned by- the natural competition for prestige and influ2~c\J among ciny two grsat powers, In this case it is for the leadership of the world revolutionary movement. There is also the natural diffe rence between tho outlook of a 11 have 11 nation, the wealthy European Russia, and that of the 11 have not 11 l\.sian power, China. Conse- que·ntly the Soviet Union is ruled by communist left"wing Marxists who want to preserve the stEttus quo; China by right-wing Marxists v1ho want change. Lastly there is the pressure of China 1 s fRntastic population growth pushing through the Meng0lian Tiepub lic ( that was set up as a buf-· fer state) and against the frontiers of thG near--empty Russian Steppes~ The Soviets and t\mericans find themselves bedfellows in wanting to l imit the power of Chinao For the Soviets, This 11 peaceful co--existence 11 between them and the hated Capitalists has been made more palatable by the fact that Western governments no longer send buyonet--wcilding soldiers in- to break up strikes or carry on a depression war-depression cycle of business advefr• ture.

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

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

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

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

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

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

In an effort to recruit more students for the coming academic year, UTOPIA U. has even had the effrontery to send me its prospects with the tequest that_it be published!

Our seminars (and they are surely the best) Are, twice every week, being· held at the Crest And for every student who does appear UTOPIA buys a free gallon of beer. The teaching quality is so high That UTOPIA•s profs are wondering why Our first year students refuse to get hep: Nuclear Physics should be a snap. Our Library you just wouldn•t believe.

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

There are many such international bodies trying to achieve the same ends, that of rendering technical assistance to underdeveloped countries, and educating Canadians to make them aware of the problem~ that do exist. But CUSO has the greatest chance for success, for, according to Mr. Carter, what the people in the underdeveloped countries need is not money in the form of aid, but trained technicians to help them advance their living standards and to provide alternatives· to the American and British programs. Canadian University Service Overseas offers these countries a chance to get out from under the influence of the United States and the British. preferred by Bob Leggett The days of the general BA are over, according to Mr. Carter. CUSO needs people with technical training. "We don't send underdevelpeople to underdeveloped countries.'' The langua&e barrier is not as great as 1t would seem. "Day to day work is done in English in many parts of Africa," said Mr. Carter. "A working knowledge of French also helps." "The people are usually amazed to see a young Canadian who has taken the time and effort to learn even a few words of their language", he said. ' "Most white men they know won't lower themselves to learn the common language." Here again CUSO -has its advantages.

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

Sports Day at Winter Carnival could be tenned a bit less than a success this year. There seem to have been three causes; the wine and cheese party, the snow and a lack of organization and co-ordination among the S.A.S. itself. Forgetting the first two, I would like to say that most members did not do enough (i.e. nil) work toward their event. Next year I think the S.A.S. should schedule its events and then the executive should be on hand to co-ordinate the events and arbitrate any disputes. Sports Day results will appear next week in this space. When the basketball team was in Brandon a fc;w weeks ago, they had a surprise visit from last year's manager Mike "Windy" Wainwright. Mike, who graduated from L.U. last year, is now working at Eaton's in Winnipeg . ••• The L.U. skiers, in order to get in shape for future ski meets, are participating in local meets to sharpen their skills. Mike Wren seems to be the top performer this year so far. Mike and Tom Morton fought a tough battle last year for the top skier award, with Morton eventually winning the Male Athlete of the Year. Murray Smith of the Nor'Wester Hockey Team is the top LU scorer in L.C.H.A. play this year. Murray is in second place in scoring in a race which is dominated by Lake Superior State.

Hussey takes it on the chin (again) by Larry Hebert Boyd Hussey will probably not play hockey again this season. As most of you know, Boyd was a goalie for the Nor' Westers until a disasterous weekend in Superior, Wisconsin. There he was ruthlessly hacked down by the stick of Bruce Chicoine of the Yellow Jackets. His jaw was broken, and he received a few cuts on the inside of his mouth. Since then_ his jaw has been wired shut and be has been on a liquid diet. A recent I.C.H.A. ruling has shown just how much the league tries to screw LU. Bruce Chicoine, mild-mannered forward of the Yellow Jackets and sometimes expert backstabber (as Lakehead fans can attest to) was suspended for three games plus the remaining portion of the SuperiorLakehead game from which he was ejected. At this point he has two games this weekend here against LU. This is a smart move by th e league to prevent any retaliation by LU players. Chicoine should have been banished for the rest of the season because he deliberately tried to injure Hussey. Now the big hurt comes. Boyd Hussey has also been suspended presumably because it takes "two to tango". Boyd's suspension is for the same two games. It matters little because he couldn't play anyway. The idea of the suspension is whatirksNor'Westerofficials. Boyd was suspended for provoking Chicoine (he admits to saying a few uncomplimentary words to Bruce) and for not wearing a mask. Why did the referees allow him to play without a mask? The league should suspend the referees too and get everyone into the act. As for Boyd's provoking Chicoine, Lakehead fans know that Bruce was not the most level-headed player in Junior Hockey and he seems to have deteriorated in intercollegiate play.

For years, advertise· ments have read: Send your son to Lakehead U. •· this keeps the money in Northwestern Ontario, . and keeps our economy booming. Publicity appears to be geared at concern for the economic welfare of this area, rather than to stress the intellectual atmosphere and academic standards (or non• standards, depending upon the department), which ideally should be a determining factor in choosing Lakehead. Such an unnatural stress on economics may be a major reason for this lack of impact on the ultraconservative trend of the community's awareness. The few speakers who have been brought into the area by the University, have carried with them a breeze from the outside world. But this breeze, typically, was hopelessly lost in the strong gales off Lake · Superior. So, in "Bobby Curtola land", is it not the students and the faculty here who are best situated to clear the Lake Superior Cloud? With this in mind, the AMS is sponsoring a Symposium next weekend, Feb. 8th, 9th, 10th, and 11th. Several outspoken individuals have been obtained as resource persons and discussion leaders. They will be keynote speakers on Friday evenin·g, and Saturday morning, and discussion may centre around the views which they will present. Certainly Jim Harding is no stranger to this campus. His controversial ideas set many students, faculty and administrative members thinking. Either they agreed with most Qf his thoughts, or completely rejected them. But the Lakehead community at large has not been exposed to his view• points. Larry Anderson and Dr. A. Asimi are presently on staff at L.U. While Mr. Anderson sup• ports a "participatory democracy" as a system of government for a university, Dr. Asimi does not agree that students should have a major voice, or responsibility, in deciding academic policy.

Commissioner for the Ontario Union of Students, and presently attending the University of Western Ontario, will deliver a paper on student government and the concept of the com• munity of scholars. Bob Baldwin this fall refused a schola.ship from the University of ·western Ontario to work for the Canadian Union of Students. He was at Lake- head during the Registration crisis, a few months ago. Bob is an advocate of student syndicalism which is a strong stand of the Union Generale des Etudiants de Quebec (UGEQ). CUS does not have a policy statement on syndicalism, but .has strong resolutions dealing with the Quality of Education. Bob will be here to explain these. Ian MacKenzie, resource person from Rochdale College, will be at Lakehead University on February 8 to take part in the Educational Symposium. He will be here for a series of discussions during the day and a speaking engagement at 8:00 p.m. that evening in the University Centre Theatre. Mr. MacKenzie is one of many who are working in education by teaching and learning simultaneously in the free atmosphere of Rochdale College in Toronto. Those of us here at Lakehead who think we are getting an education •· any kind of an education let alone a good one -· should find his ideas extremely enlightening. Rochdale College is an attempt at education incorporating not only traditional material in a much freer environment but also constant questioning of the validity of any static theory describing a "philosophy of education". Rochdale is one among an ever growing number of experiments in Canada which are proving if by their existence alone that our educational system is seriously inadequate and needs radical change. Reali zing that the dialogue occurring during the Symposium will be meaningless if restricted to the members of this university, invitations have been extended to students and faculty of the Teachers College and Confederation College. A limited number of high school students and teachers have also been asked to attend. The students attending the Teachers College seem very concerned over the failure of amalgamation with L.U. This union is undoubtedly an excellent move, raising the calibre of elementary school teacher education, thereby improving the quality of education in grade school. But this union, from all appearances, will not take place, due to unsatisfactory salary negotiations. Should not professors who are concerned with the quality of university education also be concerned with the quality of primary school education? And does not this concern weaken when stress is put on financial gain? The appearance of Confederation College on the Lakebead scene, has posed the question; What is the position of University Schools within the University? A statement can be made that University Schools have no place here, and should be integrated with Confederation College. But there are many reasons for not integrating, and students on both campuses should be made aware of these. The underlying question in the above discussions is one of university education •· what is its aim? and who decides what this aim should be? Is the university an intellectual ivory tower, set apart from its community, and tossing out insecure bodies onto the industrial meat market? On the other band, is the university a social institution, being subject to social pressures, or applying pressures on society, and the community encompassing it? If the latter is the case, it will be brought out in the discussion groups, and in the final session of the Symposium. At this final session, it is hoped that some consolidation of ideas from all the discussion groups, will take place; and that this may aid individuals concerned with the apathetic isolation of the Lakehead, and of "Snakehead U." � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Nor'Westers still in race for /CHA crown The Lakehead University Nor'Wester hockey team kept their league championship hopes alive as they defeated the Wisconsin State University Yellow Jackets twice last weekend. In the first game, played Friday, the Yellow Jackets jumped into a 2-0 lead by the three minute mark of the first period only to have the Nor'Westers roar back to take a 6-2 lead by the end of the first session. The second period was all Wisconsin State as they scored three unanswePed goals to trail 6-5 at the second break. Both teams opened up to provide the fans with a fast rushing p(!riod that had the score deadlocked at 7-7 with two minutes remaining in the game. Lakehead University then struck for two fast goals to win the game 9-7. The second game started off on a much more cautious note with the first period ending with neither team able to score a goal. At the 5 minute mark of the second period Boyd Hussey was "axed" by Bruce Chicoine and suffered a broken jaw. Goal tending duties were then taken over by Randy Wilkie. By the end of the second stanza Wisconsin State had taken a 2-1 lead, Lakehead University's only mark coming from the stick of Clare Battiston. Dave Siciliano scored the tieing marker at 1:59 of the third period setting the stage for one of the most exciting periods of hockey Lakehead University has been a part of this year. Murray Smith scored what proved to be the winner at 19:50 of the final stanza as he deflected a shot by Clare Battiston that irolled up the arm and over the shoulder of Gary Lapinski, the Wisconsin State University goalie, and dropped just inside the goal crease. Lakehead University now has an ICHA record of 4 wins and 2 losses, tieir..g them with Bemidji State College who have an identical record, both teams trailing Lake Superior State College who have a perfect 6-0 record. Lakehead University· has asked for the indefinite suspension of Bruce Chicoine leading to a life suspension from the ICHA for his unprovoked attack on goalie Boyd Hussey. Said Henry Akervall, coach of the Nor'W esters, "Our league is a fast, strong hockey league with the emphasis on good sportsmanship and the maintaining of high academic standards. Chicoine has broken the good sportsmanship code with the most vicious slash I have seen in hockey. A man like that does not belong in this league." Nor'Westers travel to Brandon for two games January 13 and 14 before their next home games, January 16 and 17 against the University of Winnipeg. Holidays hamper basketballers' performance '·We only played one decent half in the two games we played over the weekend," lamented Coach George Birger when reviewing his team's performance against the Wisconsin State · University Yellow Jackets Friday and Saturday. "The three week layoff since our last game (for exams and holidays) was too long and the fellows didn't really get untracked until the second half of the second game." The first game Friday had Lakehead University trailing by three at the half but the Yellow Jackets came on strong to win 69-57. The Nor'Westers were led by their high scoring forward Don Holmstrom who scored 21 points with Roy Holman hooping 12, and Lloyd Koski 10. Lou Pero was the top rebounder on both teams as he gathered in 15 from the boards. The team made only 23 of 92 attempts from the field for a 25 percent average while outshooting the_ir opponents by 12. The margin of victory for t h e Yellow Jackets, who took only 80 shots, w a s their better shooting average of 34 percent. The s e c o n d basketball game, played Saturday, was much closer as the Lakehead University five raised their shooting percentage to 27 percent while holding their opponents to 32 percent. The N or'Westers trailed by 5 at the end of the low scoring first half, 18-13 but were never able to close the gap as they lost 54-49. Again it was Don Holmstrom w.ith 27 points and Rob Woods following with 12. This brings the. season record to 6 wins and 8 losses for the Lakehead University hoopsters. A modernistic sculpture by one of Ontario"s noted artists Gustav Weisman, A.R.C.A., O.S.A. graces the foyer of Lakehead University's new .$2,500,000 library. The giant sculpture was installed over the holidays and was there to greet s urprised students on Wednesday morning when classes resumed. The work has no name and has no theme. "It's identity is its exi st ence and therefore i t needs no name, " explained Mr. Weisman. "There is no theme because the sculp• ture is an experience. I would like people to come to it with an open mind and experience it in passing. I want them to come to know it and enjoy it by becoming involved. Do not look for what it represents or means but allow its shape, fonns and lines to reveal its identity to you as a personal thing."• Mr. Weisman is well known in this area. An instructor in drawing and painting stain glass design at the Ontario College of Art in Toronto, he taught at the Quetico Centre three years ago and two summers ago returned to the Lakehead to teach at the Lakehead School of Fine Art. He has spent much time in this region off and on drawing and painting and has spent two years here as a forest ranger. Although Mr. Weisman stresses that the sculpture has no theme, he does admit his special feeling for the north affected the design. "It is 0£ the north .. . the spirit of the north shore 0£ Lake Superior can be found there ... the underlying spirit of the land and what comes of the land," he mused. "It is timeless in this sense ... not of today or yesterday but of all time.•• A Lithuanian by birth, Mr. Weisman came to Winnipeg as a young boy and received his early education there. He took his early training in Toronto and later earned scholarships for postgraduate work in Mexico in sculpture and fresco painting. Other examples of his sculpture can be found in Toronto University Lutheran Church and the Pitney Bowes Company Building in Toronto. His stained glass work can be seen in St. Phillips Anglican Church in. Toronto, Westbury United Church, Ottawa and the Ontario Ladies College in Whitby. He is also past president of the Canadian Group of Painters. The sculptu~e is on display from 8:30 a.m. until midnight Monday through Friday and 9 a.m. witil 5 p.m. on Saturdays. University President Dr. W. G. Tamblyn said the wiiversity library was the natural setting for the sculpture. "Art has an important role to play in a library and for that matter in university life in general. People read books for relaxation, information and to help develop their abilities to understand and appreciate the world about them . Art has the same role to play."' "We are fully aware of the fact that it is the function of a university to introduce and expose students to art and art forms just as we introduce them to great literature and music . Our mosaic sculpture in the original university building and our new sculpture are two steps towards this aim. It is my own personal hope in the future that the university will be able to develop an art gallery for the enjoyment of not only our university community but the people of Northwestern Ontario as a whole."• Dr. Tamblyn explained that many universities have been able to build up an impressive gallery through the co-operation of local donations. He said the University was hopeful that a donor would be found for the new sculpture was a beginning step. UBC student Senators frustrated, want to resign Vancouver (CUP) -Three frustrated student Senators at the University of British Columbia want to resign. Senators Ray L a r s e n, Gabor Mate, and Kirsten Emmott said, Thursday, January 4, students are being ignored by the Senate. They said the Senate concerns itself with irrelevant issues. The fourth student Sena~ tor, Mark Waldman, will not resign. Students will be asked at a meeting Tuesday, January 9, if they agree with the resignations. All three say they will abide by the wishes of the students they represent. They attacked the Senate mainly because it voted against opening its meetings, because it is ineffectual in dealing with the Board of Governors, and because it is inefficient in its work. The Senators were all elected on a platform of open meetings. "The motion for an -open gallery was defeated 40 votes to 15," said Larsen. "The students' wishes were completely ignored." He said they called for the open meeting vote because of a Canadian Union of Students resolution which states that students should refuse to serve on any closed university governing body. The Senate later campr~ mised on the issue, agreeing to publish an agenda of meetings and a summary of the business covered at each session. Senator Mate said the Senate is ineffectual because of the University's structure. "The students should run the university," he said. "The Senate and the Board of Governors should be abolished." Senator Emmott termed the Senate a rubber stamp with no real power. "The faculties recommend t h e changes and the Board of Governors allots the money," she said. The three also complained of long, tedious meetings which discussed trivia, and the insufficient use of the Senate committees. UBC is among six Canadian universities having students seated on the Senate or equivalent body. �January 11, 1968 THE ARGUS Page 3 International night planned International Night is being sponsored this year by the Arts Society, and will be one of the featured events of Winter Carnival. The programme hopefully will include folk music, folk dancing, et al, from the different cultural groups on campus and in the Lakehead area. In order to make this event possible, we are requesting any student or students on campus or in the area to lend us a hand by preparing an act for the pro- gramme. The act should be characteristic of that person's particular culture. The programme has been planned for 8:00 p .m. on Saturday, January 20, in the University Centre Theatre. There is not much time left and participation by the student body is of utmost importance. Please contact Pentti Paularinne or any of the Arts Executive in the Arts Society office immediately if you are interested in performing. Miss Canada to attend Donna Barker, Miss Dominion of Canada, will be a guest at the International Show. Miss BaTker w ill be in the Lakehead Saturday, to take part in the activities of the University's Winter Carnival. Hopefully, the programme for the International Night w i 1 1 include the judging of the Carnival Princesses in their for mal gowns, with Miss Dominion of Canada as an honourary judge. NOTICE TO L.U.

Why two years with Cuso may put you five years ahead in your field. For one thing, there's the kind of experience you gain, working in your own field overseas in a developing country for two years. The salary is low, but almost invariably you get broader, more varied experience, and get it earlier than you would in Canada. You learn to handle responsibility-and prove itin a job that lets you test your knowledge, prove your theories, experience the challenge of a different culture. And it is a challenge, working -through Canadian University Service Overseas to help close the knowledge gap that exists between developed and developing nations. Right now, about 900 Canadians are working for CUSO-a non-profit, independent organization-in 40 developing countries around the world, spreading their technical and professional knowledge wherever their particular skills have been requested. But for every request that's filled, so many go unanswered-for lack of people like you. How about it?

So far we have presented a number of thought-provoking discussions on topics covering politics (the Ontario election), economics (T h e Myth of Inflation), and social problems (Racial Discrimination in Northern Ontario), as well as the top rated Canadian movie "Nobody Waved Goodbye." We have had numerous discussions on Model Parliament and its tole in the University and our role in it, and we have been very active in the Lakehead NDP Riding Associations and the Provincial and Federal NDP and NDY organizations. Again, for the rest of the academic year, we intend to continue with this kind of a programme. What we are presenting of course is not necessarily the views of the NDP on or off campus; our purpose is to be thought-provoking and to present discussions on topics which the student body would otherwise not hear. Therefore the purpose behind our activities is to inake everyone at Lakehead University aware of the problems that do exist and of the possible solutions for these problems. We are always looking for suggestions for topics for presentation. If you have any suggestions, please contact any .member of the NDP club, or better yet join the Lakehead University NDP club and get involved. 111111111 1 ,, ' 11111111/llll/ I 1111111111 /: 1111\\\\1 1111 111111//11 illl/1 • 111\11~\.~ •• ~ own Yearbook Only $5.00 ■ I/ll)JI l. . l111Jlil, IIill la1'.w." -was ~ hoppbtgati a I \\\ill COI.U're sou-i-lt- -l,y_;- ,1/{) an! ·Me perils -f.iAI N A TRUE.

We do not apologize for what others read into articles printed. And we cannot apologize for having forced newspapers on defenseless high school students -- they run to get them. (And usually there are not enough to go around.) • We mail newspapers to aldermen in both cities as a gesture of good wi If, and in an attempt to keep them up to date on university thinking, so that they may have perhaps a better understanding of the social phenomenon called the student, invading the Lakehead in ever-increasing numbers every year. We cannot help but feel sorry for them in the midst of their follies, publicity stunts, and hypocritical puritanism. Even to think that a withdrawa I of funds from the University would scare students into apologising suggests a complete lack of comprehension of the situation, and moreover an uneducated approach to basic psychology.

But such a complaint is solely personal. If an elected representative uses the power inherent in the position to which he has been elected to further persona I pri nciples, that person is guilty of betraying the measure of trust placed in him by his electorate. the canadian draft problem Draught dodging has taken on a new significance in the Lakehead as in other parts of Ontario. Once again our provincial and federal governments have seen fit to tax the sinner who enjoys a pint every now and then. Not only do the governments get a I ittle extra, but the pub keepers have jumped on the front of the band wagon too. They have increased the cost of a seven and one half ounce glass of beer from 15¢ (the good old days) to a new high 20¢. In a conversatioh with a representative of Dorans Northern - Ontario Breweries, we learned the cost of a 12½ gallon keg of draught beer has risen $2.62. However, the pub keeper collects an increased amount of nearly $8.00 extra profit on that same keg of draught. That six extra dollars comes straight from our pockets, and everyone knows that we don't have much bread to start with. And what about the waiter? No longer ·does that extra nickel change gotowards a glass for him; his boss has looked after that. What can be done about this entire preposterous situation? You could smash draught glasses in protest, picket your local pub, even go on the wagon. Or why doesn't everybody switch to grass? We learned in an intervi·ew with a long-haired spokesman for the Joi ly Green Joint Home-Grown Marijuana Company, a subsidiary of the Flaccid Acid Distributing Co., that pot prices wi 11 be steady for some time yet. Since this substance is illegal, the government can't impose a tax on it and start inflating prices, snowballing them out of proportion. This could be an alternative. A more realistic approach could be an on-campus, cut-rate pub. Laurentian has one. Are we to stand by idly and watch them revel in their glory while we have to treck all the way to the crest of the hi II to quench that terrible thirst? The time is ripe for action on this issue. In the future, we wi II be circulating a questionaire. Please answer it, as this will be of primary importance. And we•re getting mighty thirsty. A portrait of the artist at work letters to the editor Colborne's verbiage stands corrected The following is my answer to Mr. R. D. Colborne's rebuttal to my article "On Student Power" Dear Mr. Colborne: Your letter threw me in quite a tizzy: All those big words have made me dizzy. But, from your verbiage I gather: To disagree with you means to "blather". My numerous dictionaries don't yield Some of the words you use as a shield: For instance, I don't have the faintest idea What the meaning is of "panathea". But then , I suppose, there is no telling, You might have developed a lisp in your spelling So that, what should have been merely a "c" Came out as a grandiose t-h-e-! If you meant "panacea", this to me Means "a universal remedy", And thus it appears that you, too, are teaching The very same things that I have been µeaching: That organization and unity Are an all-encompassing remedy Aiding students who favor democratization And deplore academic regimentation. So you see, in your letter you finnly agree With pther "apologists" and me. It would seem you resigned as a visionary Because of the lack of a dictionary• And just so that, in your next syllogism, You may accuse me of "mercantilism": Drop in at the Bookstore, and have a look: We have many an excellent reference book. The next time your vitriol starts 'to bubble A good thesaurus will save ,you much trouble. We'll try to serve you as best we can .... Yours very truly, Day Laban. A coffee house Sir: Two years ago a group of students at Founders Campus, York U. started a coffee house in an unused room. Today this coffee house is a focal point for many student gatherings, poetry readings - and musical activities. It has increased student oncampus, non-academic activity and supplied a much needed centre for a commuter college . Would it not be possible to follow the York example here at the Lakehead? Few expenditures and little work are required. The lowercafe- teria would supply the small area required. A few tablecloths could be made 'by students and candles could be fitted into bottles (I'm sure bottles could easily be obtarned). A small wooden platform could be constructed and coffee and (possibly) sandwiches could be obtained occasionally. The very existence of this coffee house would act as a catalyst for a number of activities and events not yet existent in the Lakehead. Could not the A.M.S. Council and/ or a group of students act upon this proposal? Pat O Neil) Piss - poor sportsmanship . It was around the 14 minute mark in the second period of the second hockey game this past weekend. From the sketchy accounts we have received, we understand the puck was in the corner at Lakehead's end. One Wisconsin player was backing in on the Lakehead goalie. The goalie pushed him out of the crease, and, tapping him on the shoulder with his stick, said "Watch it buddy -- stay out of the crease." As the play moved out and down the ice, the Wisconsin player turned and golfed his stick at the head of the Lakehead goalie, breaking the goalie's jaw. As the goalie slowly bled, the Wisconsin man went off the ice. Five minutes for slashing, and a game misconduct. That was Saturday. On Sunday afternoon, Boyd Hussey, Lakehead's injured goalie, was in the operating room of St. Joseph's Hospital having his jaw wired back together. Hockey is a tense game, we will agree but smashing in an opponent•s head is entirely uncalled for under any circumstances. The Lakehead Athletic Department is sending a telegram to the league officials asking for the suspension of this Wisconsin player. This most recent incident is his third offense against the Nor'Westers in as many years. And if he is not kicked out of the league entirely, it will be because of nothing less than di vine intervention or slack officials. To our goalie we say, "Too bad he wasn't kicked out two years ago, after the first offense." And to the league we ask, .. Why wasn't he?" �January 11, 1968 Page 5, THE ARGUS University reform and the Macpherson report For years perceptive undergraduate students at Canadian universities ha v e sensed how depressingly inadequate were their institutions. Sincere but disjointed criticisms were made, but lost in the roar of the machinery; brilliant students dropped out, utterly mediocre sycophants e a r n e d Ph.D's. But n ot h in g much changed. Now it has. This has been the school year when all the accumulated grievances of many years have been laid bare, and every university has felt the pressure of discontent. It has also been the year which produced THE definitive reference related to university reform, The Macpherson Report. WORK OF SCHOLARS The origin of this exciting document is also significant. It did not come from a new university crusading on behalf of its revolutionary innovations (e.g. Lakehead might be lean but it certainly is not hungry) but from fat old U. of T., a university whose accumulated laurels would have been sufficient to offset criticism for years to come. Furthermore, it is not the tour de force of some radical dropouts, but the considered discussion of six Ph.D's, two M.A.'s, and a token B.A. Also, it was carried financially by the largest university administration in Canada, a group which has a very decided investment in the status quo. Despite all these things which would normally comprise its relevence to an undergraduate st dent, it stands as today's most comprehensive and articulate statement calling for immediate university reform. SOME RECOMMENDATIONS Its recommendations include: - slashing of lecture hours -- emphasis on small group seminars - de-emphasis on final examinations - abolition of finals in seccond year - "freedom" in science labs - student evaluation of professors - improvement of teaching "quality" - less strict prerequisite demands - direct confrontation with government over grant structure - inclusion of students on all policy-making committees -- adequate counselling at registration - making t h e calendar comprehensible - improvement and expansion of library facilities - reduction of residence fees. CAUGHT IN THE MIDDLE Nevertheless, in spite of its candid appraisal of the shortcomings in undergraduate instruction at U. of T., its careful avoidance of revolutionary recommendations has bound it to failure. It has power, and it is caught in a war on two fronts. On the one hand its terms of reference were too narrow for it to capture a sense of .!'uture, a sense of what the university must do if it is to be relevent. On the other, it is too concerned with exigencies, and with what the myopic pragmatists at the top of the heap are likely even to consider. I am hesitant to continue with this critique, however ambiguous, for the Macpherson Report is both a potent and an invaluable document. It should be read by every student who wishes to understand the immense logistical challenges facing the university administrator. But I cannot resist continuing, if for no other reason but to- illustrate that it might not, indeed, be perfect. REPORT A COMPROMISE The thing which probably stands out most to the hardened student iconoclast is that despite their surprising radicalism, the authors have been too timid to take out all the stops and "say it like it is." However inspired, the report is a compromise. It imaginitively reshuffles the furniture, but ignores the house. Questions related to the basic hypothesis, functions, and aims of the university have been either side-stepped or ignored. For example, in its discussion of examinations it fails to deal with three vital problems which should have at least been recognized. The notion t h a t examinations might be abolished completely is dismissed by asserting the assumption that they are necessary "so long as society expects the university to certify some measure of intellectual competence." The implications by Don Colborne and Julie Wierzbicki arising from thai assertion are never mentioned. Also, the challenge of how to "quantify quality" is ignored, as is any discussion of who is qualified to judge whom. It is assumed that every student can be pinned somewhere arbitrarily on a scale of 1 to 100 and that the niche he is given by another person he does not know (i.e. his professor) is meaningful as the measure of his intellectual accomplishments, relative to many other people he does not know. In this sense, that the report has exceptional breadth but very little depth, lies one aim of the pincer which is bound to destroy it. The widespread notion that education as we know it today is hopelessly anachronistic, and will be proved so within a very few yeairs, is nowhere to be found in this deposition. UNIV'ERSITY EDUCATION IRRELEVENT It is becoming more and more evident that students who plan to spend most of their lives employed at some profession (that in itself is a very debatable proposition) will soon discover that the few "skills" they have learned at university, usually through some accidental process of osmosis, are completely irrelevent to what they will be expected to do. IBM, which spends a good deal of time thinking about the future, already actively "retrains" university graduates in the skills it knows they will need. It considers university education at best a measure of how much stress a person can endure, as well as a guarantee that people who have endured it are well conditioned to acceptance of a strictly regimented life style. For those few students who do not plan to "work" in the traditional sense (and this seems like an unavoidable possibility for many) they are going to have trouble switching life styles when there are no regular lectures, essays, exams, etc., to fill their personal agendas. Thus, in terms of what it should have thought about, the very commendable, but The lecture system questioned "WE RECOMMEND THAT IBE NUMBER OF LECTURES IN EACH NUMBERED COURSE OF INSTRUCTION BE REDUCED TO A MAXIMUM EQUIVALENT OF ONE LECTURE A WEEK OVER THE WHOLE YEAR AND ONE TUJ'ORIAL GROUP A WEEK." This is one of ~ recommendations made by the MacPherson Commission on Undergraduate Instruction in Arts and Science, at the University of_Toronto, late in 1967. The committee was made up of six U of T faculty members, one post-graduate student, and one faculty member of York University. The first concern of the Committee was the problems of teaching and learning. In many submissions to the Committee, disenchantment with lectures was accompanied by enchantment with non-lecture methods--tutorials, seminars, and the like. Upper class honour students said that against their wishes, they came to believe, soon after getting into the swing of things at the University, that they had to treat the lectures as the chief source of learning, and that they found, quite early on, that this was the only way to beat, or live with, the system so as to get the high standing which they were astute enough to realize would be the key to their future, either in employment or by way of graduate fellowships. Also, from other students, their expectations on arrival at university from high school rapidly deteriorated. They had been told at school that the university would be a new intellectual experience, that they would be e,cpected to think independently; they found within a few months that they were required less to think than to amass information, via lectures plus narrowly prescribed textbooks. So MacPherson's belief that lectures should not be regarded as the sole, or main, or sufficient, substance of learning--a student who is not learning much of value, is strengthened by the above comments. What functions are lectures expected to perform? They should provide an overview of a subject, not readily attainabl~ in any one or a few printed works; convey the professor's enthusiasm for his subject; indicate ways of tackling problems of interpretation; show a scholar's mind at work, grappling with ideas and problems; and transmit information, which the student must know in order to understand the subject. Mac Pherson notes that the first four functions cannot be done by print, only by word of mouth (i.e. by lectures). The ·question is whether the lecture is the most efficient way of doing these. However, the students' comments indicate that the present system of lecture courses encourages (cont-'d - page 8) tragically myopic Macpherson Repoirt is "too little and too late." It will be a valuable resource to educational historians as they document the decline and fall of formal education in North America in the later middle of the Twentieth century. INGLORIOUS FATE The other arm of the pincer which will squash the report is of the same type which buries Royal Commission reports in Ottawa. (It is iirresistable to compare the fate of Ottawa's Carter Report in a dying economy to U. of T.'s Macpherson Repor in a dying institution.) It will go through the same cycle: flurry of debate, wide acclamation, p a u s e, disguised doubt, quiet retirement to t h e backroom shelves. UNIVERSITY CHANGE SLOW As the President of the University of Minnesota said last year: "Universities are not noted foir rapid change." In fact the report itself has probably defined the source of its own doom when it states that "(in) any longestablished university . . . the law of inertia ,w ill be found to be operating." Given an expanded frame of reference, I am sure that the report would have reached much the same conclusion for . all universities, in fact for all institutions whose structures are so complex that they must be deified to have any meaning The fact is that it would put too much stress upon the "house of cards" organization of a university to implement fully all of the report's recom.mendations. There are too many "old dogs" at the top who will pay lip service to these new tricks, but who won't be too eager to learn them. It is relatively easy to offer alternatives within a system, but where the system itself is a monolith, it simply hasn't the means to change. In a society which is beginning to change too quickly for its institutions to keep pace, they must be replaced wherever a need is left unfulfilled. For this reason, the Mac:pherson Report was obsolete before it was published. It seeks to upgrade an institution which is being replaced, an institution which is stTucturally incompatable with the late 'l'wentieth Century. Worse than that, it is a compromise. It has failed to grasp the inevitable, yet demands too much within its narrow present, and suffers from both. It is caught in a squeeze play between the old and the new. There is no doubt, however, that it will have a certain "liberalizing" effect, either because its arguments are so irresistable or because the problems it attempts to deal with are so manifest. If this is the case, and universities become a little easier to live with, the report will play a genuinely damaging role by assisting in the perpetuation of a system which would more quickly (and thankfully) die without this timely transfusion. �Morning Drag?

The Nor'Westers were bolstered by seven players from the local Senior League, most of whom had previously played in international competition. The addition of the two Senior goalies was a great help as Bob Kilgour, in particular, played spectacular hockey in his period and a half stint in the net. The Rumanian team held a territorial advantage but either didn't hit the net or were stopped by fine goaltending. Exactly opposite were the Nor'Westers. They scored when given the good opportunity.

While everybody was supposed to be studying, our great Nor• Wester Basketball Team won two games on December 15 and 16. These games were unusally significant for it was the first time that L.U. has defeated American competition, in the form of Mesabi and Itasca Colleges. Once again Don Holmstrom led the way for the Nor• Westers with 55 points to his credit over the weekend. The whole team played well in the second game as four L.U. players fouled out. Don Holmstrom broke the University one-game scoring record netting 36 points in the first game. He was playing that game with four stitches in his foot. Next home basketball games for the Nor• Westers are on Feb. 3 and 4 against Wisconsin State University. The hockey team plays Jan. 16 and 17 against the University of Winnipeg. *** At the recently held second annual Lakehead University Invitational High School Basketball tournament it was a profitable day for the L.U. students and former students. Bob Elvin, alltime high scorer in Nor'Westers history, is teaching at Hammarskjold and is also coaching the Senior basketball team. The Viking team captured the championship of the tourney. Congratulations to Bob and to the rest of the Gold and Red team. Two other L.U. students and members of the Nor'Westers basketball team, Lloyd Koski and Rob Woods, coached their old alumni PACI team to the tournament consolation championship. *** Before the tournaments, basketball and hockey, I think the athletic department should hold referee clinics to help the officials. Officials did a good job in both tournaments, but there were a few complaints on the hockey tournament. Congratulations are in order to Coach Birger, Coach Akervall, the hard working Bill Shannon and the SAS for putting on the two tournaments. Bill Shannon would be a good choice for the leader of the hockey referee clinic. Bill has conducted hockey clinics and is presently working on a Master's thesis on hockey. Coach Birger would be the logical choice as the conductor of the referees basketball clinic. He had planned one for this year but could not obtain the refereeing films. After a very successful first term as far as sports wins and honors go, I wish all athletic teams more success in the second 'term of 1968. Al Johnson of the hockey team was injured at .practice last weekend and had to have a cartilage operation. I hope Al recovers soon. While recovering, All can take up knitting. Seems his brother's girlfriend Lois McLean ret.:eived a knitted sweater for ·Christmas which Al is reported to have knitted. *** My choice of sportsman of the week goes to Bob Elvin who did a good job coaching the Hammarskjold Vikings to a victory in the basketball tournament. This year• s high school hockey tournament was won by the Black and Orange team from Tiger Hall Westgate. Coaches Bob Mason and John McCormick did a good job with their young but talented team as they overcame older and bigger teams on their way to the tournament crown.

The Hammarskjold Vikings, with a solid team performance, defeated the Selkirk Hams 49-31 to capture the second annual Lakehead University High School invitational Basketball Tournament. The Vikings won four games en route to the victory while the Cinderella team, the scrappy Selkirk Rams defeated such pretournament favorites as Hill..:rest and PACI before bowing to the more polished Vikings in the final game. In the consolation round the PACI Redman defeated their arch rivals the FWCI Blue Bears 52-50 in what proved to be the top game of the tournament. Out-of-town teams did not fare too well against local competition and it is hoped that better teams will be sent in the future. It also must be remembered that some of these teams are in only their second or thkd years of operation and will certainly get better with experience. The tournament was a great success, thanks to Dick Battiston along with other officials and their helpers for making the tournament the success that it was. At the end of the tournament a first and secund all star team was chosen, Marku Peukkurinen from Hammarskjold and Dave Grey from Hillcrest were the guards while the forwards were Doug Morrow from Fort Frances, Bill Sutherland of Westgate and Al Haapaniemi from PACI.

In t h e second game against Selkirk they held a 3-1 lead in the final minutes. Selkirk then pulled their goaltender in favour of an extra attacker.

It is self-evident that 50 or 75 lectures a year per subject are not needed to perform any of the desirable functions of lectures. But since these hours must be filled up, "they tend to be filled up with transmission of information. They are used to 'cover' a subject. A vicious circle is thus set going." An effect more damaging than this is that "the number of hours of instruction the student is expected to attend each week does not leave him enough time to do the reading and thinking he ought to be doing: of official Winter Carnival Toques $2.25 each at Perciante & Laprade Sporting Goods Ltd. 9 South Cumberland Street PORT ARTHUR. ONT ARIO A lecture worth having is one that sparks the student's own thinking on the ideas and problems opened up by it, and that gets him reading, more or less widely and more or less independently, around those ideas aid problems. These comments seem to apply just to large lectures, but MacPherson goes on to say that the small lecture (20 to 30 students) is subjected to much the same pressure that turn large lectures to undesirable uses, the hours a student is expected to spend in class are just as great; the compulsion to attend his classes somewhat greater, and subjection to a closer and more continuous scrutiny, very great.

We do. We also wonder at the logic behind this charge. Let us indulge in an exercise in nostalgia for a moment or three. Freshmen students will not be aware of this fact, (some seniors may not either) but last year there was no charge for course changes until about two or three weeks after the beginning of classes. Perhaps the exact number of weeks or days during which free changes were allowed is not exactly what is stated above. Nevertheless, the fact is that there was no charge for these second thoughts about certain subjects until a decent waiting period had passed. But this year? It is a fact that the ratio of out-of-town students to local students is significantly lower this year than in the past ~cademic year. The absence of a calendar may be charged for this. It is not the concern at the immediate time to sulk about the calendar. However, the ludicrous (and lucrative) decision to hit students for a second time when they have a change of heart, or perhaps even a realization meaningful to themselves as individuals insults us as individuals. And they actually charge this three dollars when they do not have a calendar to allow students to decide upon the best course to follow. What trauma students must go through when they approach that long grey desk to disclose the fact that they have made a mistake in the choosing of their courses. And then they have to cough up for a mistake that may or may not have been their fault in the first place. Sometimes we wonder. Science Congratulates Forestry(?) Don Colbome One of the curious idiosyncracies of Lakehead University is the type and quality of people here who fall before that great undergraduate freakout which might be called the student beaurocrat syndrome. Basically it is a manifestation of t!1e peculiarly high-school-like education offered here and it attacks a particular group of insecure power trippies who are so little aware of what a real university is that they actually believe the games they play are in some way meaningful. Symptoms of the onset of this affliction appear when a red-blooded Joe College begins, usually after about siX months here, to have bad dreams about graduating as just another sausage without an impressive history of "stuff" with • which to pad his resume. It doesn't take much to realize that L. U. is not doing much for him. These early symptoms include the affectation of suit (preferably cord), walk (busy-busy-busy), and card file of names (for dropping). He greets friend and foe with a smile which varies with social status of the smilee and if he is particularly clever he will force his name into public. The tactics of this game vary from graffitiing "I am a great lay'' on the ladies' room wall, to writing totally plagarized letters of comment and criticism to the school paper. Then comes that great democratic event when the most able and interested prevail upon themselves to guide the destiny of their institution - election time. Here the personality switch hits an acute stage as our schitzoid student goes hyper for a few days. He makes posters, speeches, friends, notes, pins, platforms, and platitudes. He talks hockey with the jocks, turns on with the heads, makes time with the chicks, nods at profs, and generally goes through the whole B.M.O.C. routine he has learned so well from old Hollywood horrors on the late show. He turns on the total feelie - wheelie bag. Then he gets elected . . . by a minority of a mass who don't know him, couldn't care less about the illustrious position he has so rapidly aspired to, and are unaware of the intense ego fabrication through which he has forced himself. Now the real power-trip begins. He starts mouthing bigger than life stuff like "Let's go to my office and call Toronto about it" or "No time for coffee ... I'm waiting for a call from the President." He becomes the very worst variety of beaurocrat - the student mechanic. Through a classical situationiste role identification he becomes an administrative automaton, talking in abstract about budgets and briefs, purchase orders and parking slips, office space and off-campus housing. He stops thinking about himself and what he should do. He loses touch. That's the diagnosis. It is also much of the reason why the student government at this university is so frightfully inept. However it is a problem peculiar to young universities, and we should be passing from that stage during the course of this year. Where all this leads, of course, is to tomorrow's election. Choose aware, sincere, dedicated candidates (there may be some) not any horn-rimmed glasses type with a big mouth and an insecure ego. by Don Bergman, Science President The "fungae finders" came through again.

Maybe the red and white might find time to participate at some future date. ·letters to the editor Mao who has controlled and SUN NOT SET Dear Sir: I disagree with Mr. Szechung's opinion that Mao Tze Tung was "incapable of running such a big country as China''. ("The Sun is Set", Sept. 18/67, Vol. II, No. 1), Firstly, Mao, contrary to Mr. Sze-chung's subtle sugg e st ion s , was a great scholar. He was enrolled at Changsha Junior College (1911 ), completed six years of teacher's training college (Changsha, 1913 to 1918)and a year as librarian and dropin student at Peking University. He would often spend ten hours at a time reading, and habitually received 100% in his essays. He developed into a better-than-average poet of the classical type, and wrote many books on philosophy and hist_ory. Secondly, he was a great leader, in war as well as in peace. His guerrilla tactics have inspired the peoples of Vietnam. Cuba, and Korea to victory and partial victory against greater forces than themselve·s. He hims e 1f gained and controlled mainland China. Since 1947, he has developed China from a starving, weakling, demoralized nation to a .w orld power. All this, Mr. Szechung would argue, is the work of not only Mao but of those around him (notably Lui-Hsiao Chih and Chou En-Lai) and I would not dispute his supposition. But in my eyes, this makes him an even greater leader. For all great men must, by necessity, lean upon the work of those around them; and it is co-ordinated the work of these great men. If Mao is presently slipping from power, as he undoubtedly is, then we must view this not as the end of a weakling leader but as the downfall of a great man over whose bones•lesser men are now fighting.

He told me that his old man had some beer left over from the night before, so all the neighbours were up in his apartment looking for a drink." Bert Baumann, AMS Chief Justice, Lakehead's only delegate to the CUS Seminar on "Social Barrier to Higher Education•', held at u. of T. August 1.8-19 this year, made this comment in speaking about his "in-thefield" experiences. The Seminar was conducted on a twopart basis: delegates travelled to parts of Toronto to the two extremes on the afflu·ence scale, then returned to the University to discuss their experiences and observations. The ultimate end in view was to make delegates aware of the barriers to education posed by differences in social environment. And, according to Mr. Baumann, the seminar was a great success. Sharp Contrasts The first area visited by Bert was the Trefann Court section of Toronto. Under the Toronto Urban Renewal Scheme, this slum section will be replaced by new highrise, high...;revenue apartments. Already there are new blocks looking down on the area. But it seems that the business men cannot wait to move into this potentially lucrative area, with as little initial cost as possible. As a result the residents there cannot get replacement value for their homes. They can't even buy lots. Public Housing offers them no solution since the rent for these homes is prohibitive for employed persons. And the last thing that they want is to be unemployed. The CYC has a headquarters in Trefann Court. They have succeeded in banding the neighbourhood together to fight city hall's efforts to buy them out. For the first time in the history of the area, they have opened a p1ayground on a previously rocky lot. Their prime concern being the children, weekly auctions of clothing have been initiated to support the children and to let them lead a young life more closely approximating that of their middle-class counterparts. Also a scheme is presetltly in operation whereby neighbours fix each other's homes in a cooperative effort. 0 J was able to walk with the families there, talking about their jobs, transportation recreation and future", Bert stated. "I w;nt into the •Bridle Path area right after. It made me feel guilty even to walk in" he said. "The contrast between the chiidren was immediately apparent in talking to this class of youngsters."

NOTICE Interest Becomes Action Students attending the seminar, and in particular those from Waterloo, decided to concentrate on setting up their own schools to help the children in their areas. The second main area of concentrated effort will be directed towards those students who plan to go into teaching. It was decided that the traditional OCE goal of teaching people to teach must be reformed. Instead of turning out robots to feed the system, a concerted effort must be made to provide a freer atmosphere in schools, eliminating the need to con, and in the end seeing happier and more complete graduates. Mr. Baumann is probing the possibilities of setting up this sort of an educational environment at the Lakehead. From necessity it would probably be held, at first, in the evenings, on weekends, and during the~ summer months. For the enlightenment of Lakehead University students, Bert plans to show several of the films which were shown at the seminar on campus during the coming year. "I know I can make a definite contribution to the student body on campus as a result of this seminar", Mr. Baumann stated.

What a pity it is tnat only one week in the whole school year i.s dedicated to the hazing of poor freshmen. On second thought, perhaps we're lucky that only one week in the whole school year is dedicated to the hazing of poor freshmen. How many times could your system take a Ski Club Social, or your pocketbook take a Chippewa Park Bash? Or just how many times do you think it would take before you tired of pushing stupid little Volkswagens half way to hell and back? (We know Arts didn't even make it the first time, but let's not take that into account right now.) Scavenger hunting is all right in its place, but when the second term rolls around many students will find themselves scavenging for the essentials of living (women, booze, food) and will cease to be amused by this pastime. Dances -- we care not to comment on this particular aspect of the past week. But Kangaroo Court? Although one of the chief prosecutors comes from New Zealand that is no reason to call this mockery of justice "Kangaroo Court". Since the Kiwi bird is said to be the only true native creature of New Zealand, and since the court was obviously "for the birds'', we feel that due consideration should be given to changing the name of this function. With the change in name, there should also come some reforms in procedure. We would like to point out to the tribunal that clothes, especially gowns, do not make the man. Instead they seem to ma~e the Foresters (at least the swacked ones) hostile. (Great show of couth on the part of those three goats with the ties). As one persecuted freshman put it, "Offenders called to the stand were not even told what heinous crime they had committed, so the punishment was in fact a gross miscarriage of justice.•• And as we seniors retort, "Yes, wasn't that beautifully planned?"

It's on everyone's tongue, but is all this helping Canada in any way? If I was to ask one student to name six of the bills presently before the House of Commons, I doubt if he (or she) would be able to name even two of them. It is not easy to become adequately familiar or informed, but the very survival of free, orderly government depends on the intelligent interest that people show in the conduct of public affairs. After the traumatic experiences of last week, the political forum will provide an interesting and enlightening change. Here you will have the opportunity to prove your loyalty and interest in Canada on Tuesday, October 3rd, by attending the Political Forum with candidates for the Port Arthur-Fort William election. They will be questioned by the editors of the ARGUS, the News Chronicle, and the FortWilliam Times Journal; but questions from the audience will be received for every question asked by the press.

Thus the University spends up to $30,000 a year - five full time employees plus equipment and supplies in ensuring that the grass and trees and flowers are in tfp.;.top shape so that they can provide "the necessary adjuncts to the bare essentials". If student comfort is such a concern of the administration, why don't they pave the student parking lots, literally savin our soles. Perhaps they could rechannel their re ources from filling courtyards with paving stones (courtyards that one can get into but not out of) and building neat little horseshoe shaped driveways (in a lawn that took thousands of dollars to cultivate) to project that are indeed, "necessary adjuncts to the bare essentials". While the administration is in the process of shoulaering their responsibility, perhaps they could find out why room 1041 has an atmosphere more conducive to physical growth of potted tropical plants, than mental growth of eager students. Perhaps as well, they could be induced to do research on just how necessary 16th Century lab stools are to the comfortable continuance of our education.

What's snake anatomy 2b6 like? What did you get in it last year? Does he mark hard? These intellectually stimulating questions generally are answered (?) with some numerical abstraction such as "Well, (pause) I got 72, 67, 4. . . . " But can bureaucracy evaluate performance on a mark-type basis derived from pressure circumstances? How can bure- aucracy place a number on personal relevance? The system runs on gears and numbers and we, the students, prostitute ourselves to the system for X dollars of tuition, living expenses, anonymity and u 1t i m ate alienation. In turn the system cons us i n to perpetuating it through economic manipulation. It sells us its labelled buttons, jackets, and match book covers.

Reps Backbone of Mustangs by Glenn Rajala It was pleasing to hear that Don "Andy A" Arnot and Gary Logozzo both played semi-pro ball in Saskatchewan this past summer. Both played in, and received jobs from the North Saskatchewan League. "Andy A" graduated from L. U. last spring With his B.A. He had previously played with Lakehead's basketball team as well as helping with the coaching at his old alma mater PACI. This year "Andy A'' is manager of the bookstore at the new Confederation College. He also plans to coach their basketball team hoping ~o get them into a league if possible. Don hopes t~ teach high school in the next few years while coaching on the side. Good luck, "Andy A". ******* Seems the L. U, Athletic Department is a little steamed up over my comment in the last ARGUS regarding their posting of the hockey schedule in local papers in August. They claim they put it in the paper the day after the Grade 13 exam results came out in order to attract hockey players to the University. That's a good idea but why wouldn't an article, telling of the places that the team would travel to suffice in attracting aspiring hockey players? The Weekend Magazine (Star) also ran a hockey story (September 2). They showed pictures of last year's all-star team and pictures of the individual trophy winners. I think they were also a li,ttle hasty in putting out a hockey story, especially last year s pictures (unless Chicago needed some morale boosting, since it was mostly pictures of their players). I don't recall their doing too many CFL stories and they are playing now while on September 2 no National Hockey League team had yet begun practising. Bill Shannon, coach. (l. lo r.)

OTTAWA (CUP) -- Patrick Watson last week (Sept. 15) urged Carleton U. freshmen to revolt against the administration and faculty. Watson, who co-hosted the controversial "Seven Days" TV show with Laurier Lapierre, told 500first-year students to work through their students association to gain a bigger say in the administration of their university. "You can convert the next four years of drudgery into a social and intellectual adventure if you act now", he said. He said the university is a learning situation and not a training school. He attacked professors who lazily believe that to impart knowledge all they need to do is stand up in front of a class full of students and give the same lecture they gave last year. The time is gone when student government's major role was organizing dances and football games. "Now they are working for political reform within the university", he said. Cuties Caper Chinese Assoc.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Plagiardebt, as well as deficit spending ism, the theft of a man's ideas with which physical production and theft of the very words that has not kept pace, has led to they are clothed in, is one of inflation. This variety of the worst conceivable crimes; demand-pull inflation is exactly and there is no conceivable the type Dr. Charles dismissed justification for it, even when in his examination of the the victim is a bank chainnan. It is the responsibility of an (cont'd page 5) editor to protect the integrity of The Peak P/89/BT/Sm • • • h A rgus /n t e his paper by constantly being on the watch for this sort of vileness. It is always easy to spot. In L.H.B.'s article,forinstance, the stylistic differences between the plagiarized passages and L.H.B.'s own illiterate interpolations fairly scream at the reader. It is a matter of the "editorial eye"; and if you fellows don't have it, you had goddamn well better develop it or you are likely to find yourselves in hot water. And nobody will be particularly anxious to pull you out. The Argus this year has been the best ever, but eternal vigilance is the price of integrity as well as liberty. Sincerely, T. B. Miller Chairman Department of History �Page 6 February 9, 1968 THE ARGUS January: hovv vvent the vvar? By John Kelsey CUP Staff Writer While college editors spent January, 1968, lancing obscenities through clouds of pot smoke, the war between students and the world escalated quietly. Noisy protests erupted in only five cities,down somewhat from November's anti-Dow protest fever, but legislative battles for student senators were won in five more. A University of Western Ontario student dramatically ascended to the board of governors, and the University of Alberta rejected a student governor. "We don't believe in student power," said U of A president, Al Anderson. Three University of B.C. senators asked their constituentsif they could quit because they weren't getting anywhere, and the univerc:ity of Calgary's academic president did quit because he couldn't talk to his board. And across the country, students cooled it in drunk tanks as winter carnival fever highballed through central Ontario, Manitoba, and the Lakehead. The most visible battlefronts last month were in Quebec City and Waterloo, Ontario. At Waterloo Lutheran, the university fired two protPc:c:ors, George Haggar and Gray Taylor. Both were good teachers, but both were loudly critical of the university and its administration. Four hundred students retaliated with a class boycott and day-long teach-in Jan. 17, but the student council backed down and refused to support the action. The Canadian Association of University Teachers is investigating, nobody's been rehired, and the issue is in for a several month stall. But a week later, 1,000 Quebecois students travelled to Quebec city to demonstrate outside the legislature. Grievance? Government channels had held 33,000 of 68,000 student loan applications in red tape masses, causing starvation on the campuses. The minister promised to speed it up, but UGEQ leaders called it a stalemate. The biggest fight of all is shaping in Saskatchewan, where premier Ross Thatcher has raised tuition fees, removed high school teacher's bargaining rights and assumed direct financial control of the university. Students, teachers, professors and staff are mad. As hell. It will remain just a battle of words until F eh. 5, when the legislature reconvenes to enact Thatcher's threats. Student organizers are waiting. and organizing. A FREER PRESS The other visible eruptions were rel a ti vel y minor: engineers atthe University of Toronto snowballed anti-Dow protestors, and University of Windsor students rallied for a free student press. There, the 100 who marched through the snow protested the administrationforced resignation of Lance co-editors John Lalor and Marian Johnstone. It took more rallies, a strong student council statement of support and a Canadian University Press investigation, but editor Johnstone was re-instated and and the paper's autonomy guaranteed. Lalor is still out. What started it all? A few shits, and Jerry Farber's, the Student as Nigger. Lalor.'s not the only editor out for obscenity -- Argosy Weekly editor Allan Rimoin was fired by the university president Jan. 31, after a hassle caused indirectly by the same article. His publications advisory board is against him, and the whole mess in Sackville is obfuscated by a haywirenewspaperconstitution. "They all agree the constitution should be re-written, but they think it's expedient to fire me first," Rimoin said. Meanwhile, 17 college papers in Canada have printed the Student as Nigger piece, partly as a solidarity gesture Canada - land of paupertunity oy Karl A. J. Goodwin Somehow the conference on "Poverty in the Affluence" turned out to be a non-happening in Winnipeg, from a conference standpoint anyway. Four delegates, including myself, attended the sessions which included traditional presidential greetings and a movie, followed by a discussion on whether or not a poor Montrealer should be free to alleviate his money by allowing himself the luxury of mushrooms when he was unable to support his ten kids (one of which was born nude and uncensored in living 16mm). Everyone jumped at the opportunity to say what he had to say, like "Canned mushrooms are expensive and not nutritious." The completion of the Great Mushroom Debate formed launching pad for discussion on how we sixty some delegates could do our share to "stomp out poverty". A random consensus indicated that' 'Something has to be done." THE "REDS" BLED In th~ '_'work group" in wh~ch I _participated, th~ Cana~1an Indian was put under discussion.

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

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

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

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

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

Students and faculty (and the odd administrator) entering the University through the tunnel were immediately struck by spray-painted slogans from one extremity of the tunnel to the ·other. "Revolution NOW" was the first mark, appearing on the concrete outside the north end of the tunnel. ••Look south baby and think" jumped from the middle of the wall in orange paint, as did the catch phrase "Tune in, tum on •· and take over." .,Free schools, free· education, free love" exemplified the influence of the recent Symposium on those responsible, while ..

Some concerned people began immediately checking hands, looking for tell-tale paint stains on hands of known subversives; others looked for more paint to finish the job. So far the search for the unknown artists has not turned up any clues; Logic would suggest that they had turpentine as well, or were extremely careful while at work. Hand-written spray on wall. A Symposium hangover by Ray Shankman What can one say about the happenings of Friday night, except to say it was an experience, totally worthwhile, insofar as our Wasp culture communicates best after ~ drink or two or three ( ad infinitum), and thaL.it was_a step to better student-teacher relationships. For drinking breaks down consciousness (self-consciousness that is), and this breakdown seems important to a viable revolution of the type that has been proposed by the student left. Of course the breakdown of consciousness isn't complete, and it can't be complete unless we come under the perpetual influence of alcohol and drugs. We do not have our OWN high. We wake up sober, full of consciousness, even guilt at our breakdown, with a headache, perhaps a hangover; we wash our mouths out, gargle a bit and try to forget by relegating past events to just another party, but a "damn good one". It is indeed \lnfortunate that. we can't. loosen up without these stimulants, that we .can't be honest without them, for on Larry Anderson, Psych. Dept., Friday night I heard much honesty and saw much soul from people who appeared dishonest and souless. MASKS REMOVED We live in a society that encourages duality and hypocrisy at all levels and the other night the . attempt was made to take off some of those worthless clothes that have been hampering our physical and mental movements for so long a time. Both students and teachers were, for the most part, unconscious of their masks: The alcohol had served its purpose. The party was Dionysian. Only growth could result. Yet some may see that night as a travestry and make the comment, "nothing wi 11 come of this." But I see it differently. I say, · that as an educational experience, as a life experience, this night was successful. Breakdown of consciousness helps instill consciousness, Many of us enjoyed the -dance of emotions, the holding of hands, at least the reaching out to hold hands, the sincere voices and the glassy eyes. Perhaps it is a comment on our culture that this breakdown exists when we drink alcohol, that we don't dig each other at all unless there is this special rapport. In view of this we should change our classrooms into barrooms, call a spade a spade. Students are uptight and run to the bar to get lowloose, to get away from the classroom. To encourage running to the classroom, rather than running to the john, make the c_lassroom a bar and if this can't be literally applied then we have to consider how somehow we can turn on · without it. For isn't this what all of us want, REALLY want, some rapport a meaningful expefience to come out of our seemingly irrelevant positions. Part of the solution to our academic foonality, inherent in our academic structuring, lies in a breakdown of consciousness. Once achieved it should be sustained for long periods of time. Then we can FORUM: question the candidates Today, noon, ,n the cafeteria McGill Dean blasts activism, outside riot inciters Bob Baldwin, CUS feel and absorb. For, when we talk about the University and the problems pertaining to it, we are dealing with communities, we are dealing with relationships, and the appalling horror of our time is that we -are not in any way significantly involved with our subject or with our fellow man. And this makes the University of today meaningless. Thus, to give meaning to our lives, our involvement has to be personal, intensely personal to the point where joy and not guilt, where perception and not blindness predominate, where, in point of fact, we are in some sort of harmony with ourselves. Friday night for me was very personal. I talked to people. I said outrageous things (but then I usually do). I enjoyed it. I talked to PEOPLE. I was a PERSON digging them, seeing the situation (overall) as a beautiful drama, a beautiful happening replete with happy and sad endings, a ·happening that offered a new consciousness, a new awareness even to those who didn't ask for it. MONTREAL (CUP) •• A McGill University dean attacked student activism and claims outsiders sparked the protests on campus last November. Dean of engineering, D. L. Mordell, who retires in June, told McGill honor society members at their annual banquet Thursday (Feb. 1), "Students have no right to dictate the pattern of the curriculum. uu; they don't like what is offered in a particular course in a particular university, let them go elsewhere," he said. .. It must be clearly understood that the student is an exceptionally privileged member of society," he said. "The privilege is fully justified in terms of his future contribution to society, but with all privilege goes responsibility." He said those students and staff who "believe they should have absolute power" should set up their own university. He predicted it would cost $Q,000 per student and added, ,.I don't think it would be a very good university." In student demonstrations on campus .. we hear much of students' rights," be said, "but very little of students' responsibilities." He spoke of the "evident presence of outsiders •· either students from other universities or professional agitators•· who have flocked to helpmanipulate student opinion, and who have supplied expert knowledge of techniques of protest. "In the name of democracy they try to impose their war upon, and interfere with the education of very large numbers of students. "Can anything be less democratic?" he asked. Mordell also criticized faculty who took advantage of academic freedom by "inciting· and encouraging students to attempt to hinder the work of the university." The dean said the student '1as no right to set standards ~f behavior. Students -should live .. subject to the normal patterns of behavior accepted in the society at large." W. Stanford Reid to speak W. Stanford Reid, a prominent historian, ·will speak on February 22 and 23. His topics will be "Society and the Reformation" (Thursday), and "The Christian Idea of Authority" (Friday). Dr. Reid graduated from McGill with a BA in 1934 and an MA in 1935. He received his ThB in 1938 and his ThM in 1939. In 1941 he earned. his PhD from the University of Philadelphia. He was a minister of the Presbyterian Church in Canada from 1941 to 1951, and taught history at McGill from 1951 to 1965. At present Dr. Reid is professor and head of the Department of History at the University of Guelph. As a histouan, Dr. Reid has special interest in British history, particularly the 15 and 16 centuries in Scotland; the Reformation in Europe, particularly the work of Calvin; and development of modem European thought. He is the author of several books and many articles which have been published in historical and theological journals. Dr: Reid's lectures, sponsored by the Inter-Varsity Christian Fellowship will be held at 12:30 p.m. in the University Centre theatre. �Page 2 Feoruary 16, 1968 THE ARGUS on parked hooks Funny thing about the Library. It has all those seats and cubicles for studying. And al I those people wandering aiml-essly around trying to locate somewhere to study. When you stop to think about it, it really is funny . In a pathetic kind of way. One fellow commented bitterly that his regular seat had been occupied by a set of books and notes ever since Carnival ended. Never a singte person did he see in his seat -- his seat, mind yo1.1 -- just that blasted pile of books. Which leads to another topic -- books.

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

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

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

We've been over there to attend one of their Counci_l mretings and we've had several conversations with their leaders. We helped them with their Council. Now we're helping them set up their books. I know Don (Lees) right now is giving them ideas on how to set up central banking. I haven't had too much communication with Teachers' College unfortunately, but I think that we should, now that we are started on a plan to amalgamate. It's going to be a little difficult because their program is the way it is. They're away from their school so much they're going to have difficulty assimilating to the University. But the social programming I think should prove extremely beneficial." The choice Should student governments take stands on affairs outside the University HUSSEY • "If the feeling in the University is pro specific one issue, it is ·debatable whether the Council can actually come out and take a stand on it. However, if the feeling in the Council was that they should take a stand, they should be prepared to do so, since they are the student leaders. They should not hesitate if they feel a stand is necessary, to take one. We are a part of society and we should be aware of what's happening, interested in helping or changing anything we can." BARK.WELL • "I think that in some issues it might be necessary for the University through_ the AMS to take a stand. Issues like birth control, and making available information on it. If there is to be any action taken • • like on Vietnam •· it should come through the clubs and not the student government itself. Not that I mean the student government should be wishy-washy, and not care about what's going on, but I think that the economics of the situation will not allow it. In some cases I think it would be to take stands.•· University Schools as part of the University BARK.WELL - "There's lots of room for this faculty. I think they serve a specific purpos.e. Look at the way education is Student representation in University government BARKWELL - "Myselfl feel that we should have representation on the Senate. I had thought over this and disagreed with representation on the Senate because of what happened at UBC. But they have a larger Senate out there. They felt they were just rubber-stamping. The students were not well enough represented to have any say at all. But after talking to Mr. Tamolyn and to some of the professors on Senate, I thought that if we could just get on the Senate committees • like the curriculum committees • then we could do some good. But I think we would have to have a seat on Senate in order to get on the committees. Work is done in committees and Senate, I think, just hashes over what committees do. We have to get on the curriculum committees." HUSSEY • "I'm worried about the sense of having any students on the Senate. It might be simply tokenism. But, I think the good aspects of it outweigh the adverse. It's not just getting membership on the Senate. We must have members on all the committees, particularly the faculty -committee because we've got to work closer with the faculty. As the two groups - students and faculty are the ones most concerned with education, the Administration and the Board of Governors have to realize students are concerned over the type of education they're getting. They're going to have to realize also that they're asking • and expecting • to assume a larger role in deciding just how that education is going to come about. They've got to throw out the old idea that educational reform always comes from the top. There are many faculty members who can see this change in the trends, and as soon as the Administration does, things around here will happen a lot quicker. Things will be a lot better and there will be a lot more actual learning done. It's not just a matter· of getting an education .anymore so you can get a job. It's fast becoming a majority of students who want a straight education not for a job but just for the sake of getting an education and improving themselves. And so in that sense we must get Senate representation and committee representation too." MIKE BARKWELL photo by Drew �February 16, 1968 Page 5 THE ARGUS ?f .t~e studen_t code as set by the judicial committee and the JU~ci~l committee can charge them if they go wrong. The same thmg is true of the student television in that the Administration will not allow the equipment to be used until a letter of intent is drawn up by those involved." HUSSEY· "Any media of communication or information whether it's student, private, or outside, must be free from censorship in any way, sh~pe or form. ~ow I know_ thi~ doesn't exist in many cases, but it should particularly exist in student publications ~ec~use they're ~e .ones. who are supposed to be challenging, finding out, and digging. A student paper is of no value whatsoever if it's not disturbing, finding out what's going on, finding out th~ reasons w~y, and unless it's reporting to it's readers what is gomg on. This means they should have the right •• they do have the right •• _to print anything they want. They're governed by the same laws m the provmce as anybody else •· libel, slander, and so on, al~o by the CUP Code of Ethics. If they violate that, then certainly they have to be charged. But up to those. violations they. have. th~ right to print any word or phrase or article they want. Then nght should not be curtailed." ■ • up to you Student housing moving. When you leave high school you can go into Arts or Scien<;e or.you can go into University Schools. They're specifically duectmg you towards a goal other than teaching, administration, or something like that. I think they have a definite purpose and I would hate to see them leave Lakehead University." HUSSEY • "I'd rather see them be developed into fuller programmes than to see them stuck into something like Confederation College. Mike says there's room for them. They provide another side of education which, if not as violent or ridiculous as the Engineers at Toronto recently, provide another portion of what people like in a community and in that respect they're a good thing to have. If this University is going to aevelop· into a multi-university, then it is essential that they are kept. If it's going to develop down the lines of a "freer education", then that form of education is more suited to Arts-type subjects. If that's the move then they're going to have to change quite a bit to fit in." Censorship of student newspapers by Administration BARK.WELL • "Censorship does exist in the student paper and in the television setup we have here, but it's not in the form of somebody coming down and previewing what goes in. It comes through the editors. The editors have to act within the bounds BARK.WELL • "I've given this quite a bit of thought. We have a $23,000 resource fund we can use for a housing project or a building fund. I was starting to investigate what kind of housing we could buy. But after the announcement of the residence expansion, I think it will in the immediate future look after the ~ousi~g ix:~hlem.. Next year we're going to have to be very mtensive m lookmg up student housing. Some are living now when~ they shouldn't be. They're living there because of the low rental. I think this year, although housing was a bit of a critical situation, it did work out all right. Next year we can maybe place some more students in Fort William and with the residences, I don't think there'll be much of a problem." HUSSEY • "Housing is a critical problem. I've had experience myself this year with three different kinds of housing: The Housing Bureau had growing pains this year. Next ye.µ it has to improve. Quality of the houses they lis~ must be changed. I don't think because residence is expanding that it's going to cover our needs at all. One of the problems wi-th Lakehead University is that it's not close enough. There isn't the feeling of closeness with it. The more residences we get, the more the feeling will grow. B.ut the AMS Council must look into the problem of housing with the view in mind of entering the Co-op housing field. Other universities hav.e found this type of program quite successful. And people don't usually choose to live in a low-rental house just because it's cheap. Usually they live there because they can't afford to go any higher. It's not a matter of choosing just to save money." Campus pub BARK.WELL • "I, don't think a campus pub, just as such, is what we're looking into. We're looking into a student centre which I think a pub should .b e co-ordinated with." HUSSEY • "A campus pub is. an excellent idea whatever form it takes. I don't think the students are after a campus centre incorporating a pub as much as they're after a pub. It's a good atmosphere to talk things over, to hash things out." Tuition fees HUSSEY • "It's a coming thing now, and it's obvious they should be abolished. I don't think there should be this economic requirement (pr admission. We're in a society now that can afford to send students to university free of charge. This is the only way we're going to get the free kind of education that is the only kind of education. That's the only way you're going to get enough cross section, enough argument, or enough new ideas, enough change, enough challenge into a university where it belongs." photo by Dl'ew BOYD HUSSEY BARK.WELL• "l think there are definite psychological aspects to this, in that a student feels if he has to work to earn the money then he feels that he has to get something out of it. Right now students are only paying 17% of the costs to go to university, which is not ,really very much. I think that if it were free that students would have one of their major strongholds taken away from them. The ,Department of University Affairs is starting to move into and exert more control on the university in the courses it teaches. This is one of our strongholds and if we get free tuit· tiQn the Department of University j\ffairs is going to make a definite move to control the university more than it's doing now."

Student loan plan Athletic scholarships Vice President of academics BARKWELL - "I don't agree with athletic scholarships. If someone wants to come to university to play a sport then he will come anyway, and should come. This should be the motivation, rather than coming because of the free tuition." HUSSEY • "The university wants the publicity and glory of having athletic teams and this is the reason for. having them. If they want the teams then they're going to have to be willing to pay for them. Athletes are really under a greater burden than other students. With practice and such, it pretty well eliminates a part-time job. With games OI). the weekend, weekends are shot. If you want to attract these people, you're going to have to find some way to get them here." Rod Phillips Student apathy Complete HUSSEY - "I think wh~neve.r there is apathy there is always a cause for it. I don't think· people are naturally apathetic. I think Council this year has not informed students what has been going on often enough. They have not led. They have seldom even followed. They have not advertised their own meetings enough. They have not made available widely enough minutes, proceedings. This bas produced the attitude of well, who cares, they do what they want to. They plan dances. Council is doing more than that but they don't make it known. When students have grievances or problems, they somehow seem to get lost in committees or snow." BARKWELL - "I think Boyd has been basically very unfair to Council. Minutes are available to anyone who wants them. Anyone who wants to attend meetings is welcome to come. I think anyone that is interested can follow up through the Council. The committee system should be set up right from the start so it's functional. It was not as functional this year as it could have been in all aspects. You have to get people involved and working and then they're interested. It's a very hard thing to do to get people. They have grievances and they don't do anything about it. If you will follow through on their grievance, then they're willing to let you do this. I think the main thing is to get people involved and the committee system is the best way to do this."

But Means -~ Roderick Phillips, a second year Arts student, majoring in History, has voiced his decision to run for Vice-President of Academics. When asked why he was running, Mr. Phillips said, "I feel that the attitude toward education at the university is immature. There is far too much emphasis on lectures and examinations and not enough on learning. It seems to me that this institution exists for itself as an institution, and it seems that the ideal which the institution was designed to embody has been lost."

Although the speake1·s were not as good as last year, their athletic accomplishments were just as prominent. This leads to a little note I made about local sports media reps. We have quite an array of athletes working for the local sports media. Pentti Lund was and still is a good hockey player. Bud Tolman's middle name is "Bowling Alley" while no one can deny Roger Patola the title "Ski Slope" or "Water Baby." Bill Guy is on a diet of buffalo steak and we all know what that did for Billy Casper, one of the top pro golfers last year. Jack Sandberg is a man of many talents be it shmocky, baseball or basketball while the old Friar who came up for the banquet was quite notorious for his aggressive football at Selkirk. Old athletes never die. They just become sports writers or broadcasters. * * .. * In talking with Al Eagleson at the banquet, I was very impressed to hear that while he was at the University of Toronto beginning his distinguished career in law, he was sports editor of the Varsity, U. of T. newspaper which still indicates there is hope for me. .. * .. * Congratulations to the Confederation College curling team who recently captured the 1st Ontario Community College Curling Bonspiel.

Marie, Ontario over the weekend and twice they defeated them. The first game, played Saturday, was a 73-44 romp, while the Sunday encounter had the Nor'Westers winning by a 71-63 margin. It was a weekend for the Nor'Westers to show that they had more on the basketball team than Don Holmstron as Cambrian defensed the tall forward to a point of frustration, holding him to 13 points in each game, when his average for the season is bet.ter than 24 points per game. Roy Holman was the top scorer for the Nor'Westers in the first game, hooping 17 points, while Jim Johnston matched Holmstron's 13 points and Lloyd Koski threw in 11 of his own. -For the Caats, it was big John Fletcher with 23 points, followed by Tallack with 10. The second game of the series again found Don Holm- stron held down by the strong zone defense but again Roy Holman came through, this time with 15 points while Lou Pero followed with 14, Homstron 13, Rob Cameron and Jim Johnston with 8 each. Jim Fletcher of Cambrian proved to be the top scorer on both teams as he hooped 31 points in the second game while Tallack notched 11 and Sharp 10. The margin of victory for the Nor'Westers was at the foul line as the locals made 23 of 39 attempts while Cambrian were good on 15 of 37 attempts. The difference of 8 foul shots was the margin of victory for the Nor'Westers. Don Holmstron might have been held down on the .score sheet but was as effective on rebounds as he has been all season. He matched Lou Pero as each of them picked 14 rebounds in the first game. then was tops on both teams as he gathered in 20 rebounds in the second contest.

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