The four young people, Charles Sharun, Barbara Wil­ liams, Clint Kuschak and Peter Lenardon are all executive mem­ bers of the Aesthetics Society of Lakehead University. Their "Free North Festival" project is to organize an Art School at'. the University this summer from July 6 until August 21 to establish "person . to • person communications of creative ideas and art expression at a com­ munity level . . ." The Art School will involve workshops in music, literature, drama, and art which includeia; painting, sculpturing,photography, printmaking, etc. The instructors will include semi • professional artists, especially young people since the Aesthetics group feel that they "will be able to pro-• mote the relaxed atmosphere con­ ducive to the development of an understanding of creative works among the participants and the community." In addition, visiting person­ nel of the various communica­ tion fields will meet the stu­ dents so as to present as broad a community outlook as pos­ sible. The project will also include a feedback between it (i.e., student expression) and the community opinion. A van displaying the project's work will visit central locations in the city preceded by advertise­ ments to make the visits known to the community. Additional student • community dialogue will consist of interviews on local television, talk • back programs and open houses dur­ ing the complete length of the project. The majority of participants will be high school students. They will be made aware of the summer program within the next two weeks by the four artists who will conduct tours of all local high schools with an audio • visual presenta­ tion outlining the exciting pro­ jects which will be available to the young people during July and August. Financial assistance from the Ontario Council of the Arts is still in the final negotiation stages and the outcome will be announced in early June. How­ ever, a partial grant for pre­ paratory organizing amounting to $2,000 has already been awarded. "The important factor is to secure community involvement," commented Charles Sharun. "By involving the Parks Board, var­ ious Arts Councils and organ­ izations, we are assessing this participation in order to qualify for the major part of the grant." The idea for a feedback sum­ mer program in Thunder Bay was first discussed at a meet­ ing in June 1969 after the suc­ cessful group exhibition of "Pul­ sation 1" by the Aesthetic peo­ ple. In September 1969, the Society began the operation of establishing a painting and drawing workshop on campus as well as a pottery workshop. In addition, the Society, under the auspices of the Alma Mater Society and the Administration of Lakehead University, esta­ blished a Gallery in the former faculty lounge of the University. A series of student, local and imported exhibits were held during the remainder of the academic year. On December 12, 1969, a meeting was held in Toronto between Ron Evans, of the Ont­ ario Council for the Arts and Charles Sharun concerning the feedback project.

Dalley THE TRIBAL ROCK-LOVE MUSICAL During the Christmas recess, the group planned out a program ;;tressing a solid structure to fac­ ilitate- the free, flexible move­ ment in the actual operation of the project. Meeting with various university officials the co-ordina­ tors received enthusiastic encour­ agement and unconfirmed state­ ments of support. After the ratification of sup­ port by the Ontario Council in­ clusive of partial financial as­ sistance, the Arts Faculty of Lakehead University pledged financial assistance as well as the use of selected university facilities which had already been confirmed by the Admin­ istration. In addition to this, the Thunder Bay Parks Board has pledged unconfirmed financial assistance to the project. The Aesthetics group is concerned about the teenagers of Thunder Bay. "In many towns," he said, "the teen­ most agers represent the vital and energetic • yet the least utilized • of the local resources. Instead of grow­ ing into local citizens during their high school years, they grow in idled energy toward an alienated desire to flee. Teenagers in small towns are feeling, loving, wanting, disa­ proving, doing • What? With this program we hope to assist them in making their answers known." eA one • man art exhibit will be held in the University Aes­ thetics Gallery and the Agora from May 20 until June 4. The one man is Dick Pal­ ovick and his exhibit is entit­ led "Industrial Edge." His work includes etchings, wood • cuts, sculptures in various mediums including neon, and paintings. The exhibit will be open from 9 a.m. until 9 p.m. daily and there is no admission charge.

More than 350 people attended the 16th Annual Meeting of the Institute on Lake Superior Geology Conference. "We had only prepared for about 250 delegates," said conference co - ordinator Dr. J. Talbot, Associate Professor of Geology. "This was a record attendance for the Institute and it reflects an intense interest in the geology of Northwestern Ontario," continued Dr. Talbot. "Participants arrived from as far afield as South Africa and Australia, although most registrants were from the United States. The prime interest in this conference centred around a symposium on the volcanic belts of Ontario which are now recognized as having great mineral potential. The recent discovery of a large copper-zinc deposit at Sturgeon Lake, north of Ignace, certainly contributed to the unexpectedly large attendance. Four field trips were offered - the one to the nearest volcanic belt had to be repeated four times to include all those wishing to attend." Attendance at the Canadian Library Association's workshop was "beyond all expectations," commented Dan Sudar, Chairman of the School of Library Technology. "The workshop was entitled 'The Library Technician at Work'," added Mr. Sudar, "and the main reason for having it at Lakehead was because we have the only two-year program in Canada for training library technicians at the University level. We also have a most important facility - a library containing more than 100,000 volumes - in which to conduct a course of this nature." Conferences on a variety of other subjects - from law to youth theatre to medicinewill have attracted an estimated 2,300 people to Lakehead University during a four-month period from May until September. While some two dozen conferences are held here during the year, the majority are during the interim periods befor and after summer session when the university service centres can cater to conferences; whether that service is planning meals for up to 300 people, setting up sound equipment or making "wake-up calls" for delegates who stay in residence. The University has many assets which make it an ideal location for conferences: large numbers of delegates can be accommodated at one time with sleeping and dining facilities, meeting rooms, laboratories and lecture theatres all within easy walking distance of each other; it is centrally located in Canada; and the services and facilities of Thunder Bay are readily accessible. George Lawrance, Director of Services commented that the university cannot live in a vaccuum. He said we receive support from tax dollars, paid directly or indirectly by delegates to conferences. We must be responsive to the needs of the public and offer our facilities to interested groups. "There are other indirect advantages," Lawrance said. "Every conference delegate from outside the Thunder Bay area will undoubtedly mention his visit to Lakehead to friends or associates and therefore create goodwill for both the University and the city." DIRECTOR RESIGNS eMr. George H. Schmidt, Dir• ector of Information Services, has resigned his position at Lakehead Universitj·. Mr. Schmidt will be returning to his home in Washburn, Wisconsin, to devote his attention to business interests there. Mr. Bryan Mason, Research Assistant to the President, will serve temporarily as Information Officer. WHITTLE RECEIVES CANADA COUNCIL GRANT eDr. John Whittle, Associate Professor of German, has been awarded a $3,250 Canada Council grant to conduct research in Europe on his book "Italy and The German Baroque" which is currently in progress. Much of his research will be done at the Austrian State Library in Vienna and various other countries in Germany. He left for Germany on May 12 and will be there for most of the summer months. OPEN HOUSE MAY 22 eThe public is invited to attend an open house in Lakehead University's Centennial Science Building on Friday, May 22, from 2 p.m. until 10 p.m. All science research laboratories will be open for viewing in addition to demonstrations of research equipment. Special science exhibits will also be on display. Contact the Dean of Science, Lakehead University for further information. STUDENTS TO STUDY IN GERMANY eSummer studies m Germany will begin this month for two Lakehead University students. Part - time Arts student, Kathleen Kuz is enrolled in a course on German language and literature at the University of Kiel in the north of Germany. Second year Art student, Susan Cambell, will be engaged in similar studies in a course conducted by the Goethe Institute of Stauffen (Breisgaul). Both girls have been awarded scholarships to aid them in their studies. The trips are made possible through close cooperation between the university, the Canadian German Academic Exchange Association, and the West German Government through its Embassy in Ottawa. Two other students, Ines Krainer-Berday and Marlene Doerflinger have been given assisted flights by the Canadian German Association to live and work in Germany this summE>r to learn t.he language however, they will not be foJ. lowing a required course of study. �UNIVERSITY TO eA new approach to the obtain• ing of the M.A. degree - two year programs in either Psychology or Economics • will be inaugurated by the Faculty of Arts at Lakehead University this fall. Dean of Arts, Tim Ryan, commented that: "the empha• sis will now be placed on ob• taining the Master of Arts degree and not simply on receiving the Bachelor of Arts (Honors) degree, which has limited career possibilities. Moreover there are now two options within each Masters program • in Psychology, for example, the student may opt for either Clinical or Experiental Psychology, while in Economics the student may select either a thesis or a non• thesis route to the M.A. degree." Each program, which may be considered as a five year dual• degree program, will have two stages. Stage one will extend over three years leading to the B.A. degree, and is essentially general education, although it does provide for concentration in the major discipline of either Psychology or Economics. The objective in this primary stage is exposure to the intellectual heritage of the student's society and a demonstration of the relevance of his studies to reality and to life. The second stage covers the next two years, and involves the completion of the course work and dissertation if required lead• ing to the M.A. degree. This stage has, as its essential objective, professional education and it gives specialist training in contrast to the broadly based general education of stage one. Stage two prepares the student, through a broad and intensive study of a given field, for a career in his area of concentration. The first year of stage two will be known as M.A. (Qualifying) year and will essentially be equivalent to the present B.A. (Honors) program. MON.,MAY18 "'My Fair Lady., Reh. Aud. TUES.,MAY19 11 n.m.

Vol. 2, ~35 _ May 15, I 970 ()j~W' 'Nit; M.A. PROGRAM The M.A. students enrolled in the Psychology program will have a choice of two options. Clinical or Experimental Psychology. The first three years (stage one) of the programs lead to a major in Psychology and the degree of B.A.; in the next two years (stage two) the student selects one of the two options and proceeds on to the M.A. degree. The M.A. program in Economics also presents two options following stage one, i.e. the initial B.A. degree: the thesis option which consists of eight courses at the fourth or fifth year levels and a thesis, or the non-thesis option which consists of ten courses at the fourth or fifth year levels and both a written and an oral com• prehensive examination near the end of the student's program. The new programs were developed during the 1969-70 academic year by Dr. W. T. Melnyk, Chairman of the Department of Psychology, and Dr. K. J. Charles, Chairman of the Department of Economics, with the encouragement of Dean Rvan. They were discussed initially at the department level, then by the Faculty and, finally, ratified by the University Senate at a recent meeting. QUESTION: What was your general recommendation? DEAN RY AN: That the fourth and fifth years be organized as a program of specialization which would give a level of competence at the end of the five year period sufficient for professional employment, and so place our students at Lakehead University in a better economic position in a highly competitive market, and moreover that we present alternative methods of obtaining the Masters degree, so that each student would have a better opportunity to complete his degree. QUESTION: How many students do you estimate will be involved in the new M.A. programs? DEAN RYAN: My estimate would be 50 to 60 students, at least; probably this would be an underestimate for the initial interest has been considerable. QUESTION: Will an Honors B.A. student graduating this year be able to transfer into the second year of the M.A. program? DEANRYAN:Yes QUESTION: How long will it be before Lakehead University has similar M.A. programs in all disciplines in the Faculty of Arts? DEAN RYAN: This will be a matter for each deoartment to decide for itself. Some departments may wish to follow this pattern immediately; others may not wish to follow it at any time. It will most certainly be a matter for each department to decide independently. QUESTION: You recommended tha t specialization in the final two years of the program would qualify the student for professional employment. Does this mean that Honors B.A. students in the past were unsuccessful in obtaining employment without additional training in these two fields (Psychology and Ee· onomics)? DEAN RYAN: At the moment, Honors B.A. students are at a disadvantage in their career expectations when competing with those holding a Master's degree, and it is our wish in this program to emphasize the necessity for the Master's degree, and to provide alternative routes to the degree and so give our students an opportunity to compete more effectively in an ever tightening market. The former route towards the Honors degree will, of course, be available for those who wish to take advantage of it, but certainly, the emphasis will be placed on the completion of a Master's degree. His Excellency Georl,(c fgnaticff • The Convocation Address at Lakehead University's graduation exercises on May 30 will be delivered by the distinguished Canadian, His Excellency George Jg. natieff. His Excellency has served the Canada Department of External Affairs in a variety of positions and locations for many years.

As you will observe, we not only have expanded facilities, but also expanded student enrolment. Including those people registered in the Secondary School Teachers' course, some 1,700 students will be on campus this summer. . The summer program is designed, as much as possible, with the needs and interests of part-time students in mind. However, occasionally these can only be guessed at, and we hope they will be more clearly articulated either through representatives from the Summer Session Committee or by individual comments to me personally. I would like to meet with one special group of students those who will register in the winter off-campus program who are on campus this summer. Would these people plan to meet withmeonMonday,July6at 4:00 p.m. in room 1029. K. L. Morrison, Director ofExtension and Summer Session K. L. MORRISON eThat one-storey, yellow brick house you may have passed on Oliver Road, next to the old Lakehead University entrance, isn't quite as sedate as it might appear on the outside. It houses the University's Day-Care Centre and is usually a home - away - from home for tens of boisterous children whose parents are University students. The services of the Centre are particularly aimed at mothers who wish to take classes during the day and who don't have anyone to look after their young offspring. It is open every day during the week from 8 a.m. until 5:30 p.m. and is under the supervision of Mrs. Theresa Jacobs. Children of any age are welcomed at the Centre and they are all treated to hot lunches and snacks each day. In addition, a separate rest room is set aside in the Centre for naps, if the parents of the children wish that they should have one. In between eating and sleeping, the youngsters can exercise their artistic talents in many ways, play games both indoors and outside the building or just do their own thing, under supervision by the DayCare staff. Their parents are charged a very modest monthly fee for this service. The Centre has been in operation for about three months now and most of the toys which were originally donated to it have had a fairly good workout since then. "We are desperately in need of new toys (second-hand will do) and play equipment," said Mrs. Jacobs, "and now that summer is here we would like to have a couple of inflatable swimming pools for the children." Anyone who would like to donate these materials or some of their time to the Centre may contact Mrs. Jacobs at the University, Extension 431. eThis edition of LU WEEK is dedicated to some of the various University services which will be available to summer session students this year. News of future University activities will be published in this news bulletin every other week during July and August. The next LU WEEK will be available on July 3, 1970. photographer recently paid a visit to the Day-Care Centre and decided to observe the children at play first before taking any photographs. When he finally got his camera ready to shoot, these four moppet-heads appeared out of the woodwork and posed themselves for the above picture. .Our �Forll eAn information centre for counselling and reference services on birth control and venereal disease has been set up at Lakehead University by the Women's Liberation in co-operation with the Academics Department of the Alma Mater Society. The organizers of the centre felt that there was a need to establish a service of this kind because there is no family planning or birth control information centre for the public in Thunder Bay. Therefore, the purpose of this centre is to educate local citizens on these two vital subjects as well as provide a direct link between the public and medical advisors and other authorized areas of assistance. Books, pamphlets and other up-to-date information on birth control and venereal disease are available in the growing library of the centre which is located in Room 109 of the University Centre Building. Suggestions for new reading materials are welcomed. You are invited to drop by the centre for information or "just to rap." eA program in drug education will operate at Lakehead University this summer from July 1 until August 15 in conjunction with both the Free North Festiva1 (which anyone may attend free of charge) and the Drug Information Centre. The co-ordinators of the program stated that: "factual presentations about the use of drugs will be given by doctors, social workers, lawyers, sociologists, and others. The final decision concerning the use is left with the individual. It is hoped that he or she will be able to make a more intelligent, logical decision based on the socio-medical facts presented, rather than on rumor and imagination." "No instructor or resource person will encourage the illegal or thrill-seeking use of drugs," they continued, "hut he will not moralize against it either. Discussion groups will be conducted by young adults, most of whom have had some experience with drugs. All drug education programs are, at present, experiments.

Under the expert guidance of Bert Sitch, Supervisor of Grounds, the department has been making many noticeable changes in the physical appearance of the campus. To make room for new parking lots, for example, they are presently transferring 5,000 square yards of turf from the area east of the library to other grounds west of the Centennial Building and south of the shopping mall. In addition, hundreds of new bedding plants and shrubs are being planted on the campus this year. This includes 150 deciduous shrubs (12 varieties, plus 8 varieties of roses); 118 coniferous shrubs (9 varieties); and 6,600 annual bedding plants (15 different varieties in various colors and shades.) Mr. Sitch and his crew are now charged with the demanding chore of maintaining the 24 acres of lawn and gardens within the three-quarter mile-long campus area lying between the golf course and the Faculty of Education Building. Another 19 acres of land should also he under maintenance in September. "The Grounds Department appreciates the efforts of all who use the campus, in keeping our grounds neat and clean," commented Mr. Sitch and he continued," real attractivegrounds take time, and beauty is something that comes only with maturity." eThe first bus arrives at the University at 7:55 a.m. each day and every half-hour thereafter. The final bus departs from the Univel'sity bus stop at 9:25p.m. MON.. Jl'Nt:W Fir~t J ):t~· ,1fSum mt•r St•:-;:-:1,ui TUES.. ,Jl1NE :m <:..1~, p.m. l..ll. f,isth.il l 1!.11111• ,·.s. llk,•,: l:!mid.

A\ \.(L-\$ LSke_ head University POLLUTION TO BE STUDIED BY L.U. RESEARCH TEAM eA study of air and water pollution in Northwestern Ontario will be conducted by five Lakehead University professors who have just been awarded a multidiscipline $30,000 research grant from the Department of University Affairs. The men included in the pollution research team are: Dr. R. A. Ross; (Dean of Science); Professor Albert Bruley, (Chemical Engineering); Dr. Richard Freitag, (Biology); Dr. George W. Ozburn, (Biology) and Dr. J. W. L. Hastings, (Physics). Their project will begin on July 1. The principal emphasis will be on studies of the heterogeneous reactions of complex flue gas mixtures on catalytic solids. Part of the grant will be used to finance personnel and equipment for the project including materials for the construction of a small pilot scale reactor. It will be built in the Kraft mill plant of the Great Lakes Paper Co., Thunder Bay with the collaboration of the company which is already rec• ognized as one of Ontario's leaders in reducing air pollution from kraft mills. The catalytic process presents the possibility of reducing air contamination still further on an economically feasible basis. Dr. Ross already has an established reputation in catalytic science and, with his research group, pioneered earlier studies of the adsorption of sulphur containing gases on porous solids. Professor Bruley has substantial background knowledge of technical flue gas operations. Dr. Freitag will investigate the effect of atmospheric fallout on the population and longevity of carabid beetles by means of pitfall traps strategically located. The beetles will be used as an indicator of the ways in which urbanization and industrialization affect the ecology of the Thunder Bay environment. Dr. Ozburn is primarily concerned with certain fresh water organisms and toxic effects on these while Dr. Hastings will study the use of snow as a possible pollution fallout indicator in and near the city. Dr. R. A. Ross, LU Dean of Science accepted the grant on behalf of his fellow researchers. He called it a "boost to the Faculty of Science" and continued: "The award gives substantial encouragement to University scientists to actively pursue co-operation with in• dustry for a joint attack on urgent scientific and techno- . logical problems where know- APPOINTMENTS John G.

INTERSESSIONAL BEGINS MONDAY eOnce upon a time, Lakehead University's classrooms were vacant for the two-month period between the regular academic year and the summer session. This is no longer the case. The university now offers Intersessional Courses which begin Monday, May 11 and continue until June 23. Intersessional was inaugurated last year. Only one course was offered at that time, however nine more courses were added this year. All ten full • credit courses m this year will be taught by members of the LU academic staff week-day evenings. "On the basis of student response, this year we may request courses in the May• June period to become a regular feature of the Summer Session" said Mr. K. L. Morrison, L.U. Summer Session Director. eThe pride of the University's athletic department right now is a multi-armed "Gladiator" which can hold more than a dozen stretching, pushing and pulling people at one time. The Gladiator is a gym machine (shown in photo above) Dr. J. Widdop, Director of the L.U. School of Physical and Health Education commented that the machine is probably one of a mere half dozen across the country. There are different sizes of machines available with numbers of "stations" varying from eight to fifteen. The Gladiator is the largest. "Its uses and variations are virtually limited only by one's imagination" explained Dr. Widdop. "Its simplicity and safety make it available to men, women and child-r en of a ll ages and strength groups. Having so many stations means that large numbers can be accommodated easily by having groups working for 30 seconds at a time with 30 to 40 seconds 'rest' while other groups are at the stations. A class of 60 people could be given a good vigorous program for all parts of the body within a period of from 10 to 15 minutes". Dr. Widdop continued "Already, the Gladiator is very popular and many students and staff are carrying out personal programmes based on their own particular needs and desires. Come out and try it-you'll enjoy it." �Fer limy Use Ol!y W.

CIDOC FEATURED IN 'NEW YORKER' ARTICLE eThe Latin - American Centro lntercultural de Documentacion in Cuernavaca, Mexico is the subject of the main feature in the April 27 issue of NEW YORKER magazine. (Lakehead will offer four sumr.1er session Spanish courses at CIDOC July 29 - August 15.) CIDOC began as a religious seminary a decade ago in Puerto Rico under the aegis of the late Francis Cardinal Spellman. The article explores the philosophy of Rev. Ivan Illach, CIDOC's director, and his and the centre's role in Latin American revolutionary movements. CIDOC's library of social science materials is reported as one of the best in the world. CONFERENCES • Two Lakehead representatives will attend "DIALOGUE 70" at Western Ontario University in London from Sunday through Wednesday. Purpose of the conference is to provide secondary school administrators and counselors with information on Ontario universities. There will be general sessions on aspects of university life plus individual conferences on each of the 16 provincial universities. The 1971 university admissions conference will be held at Lakehead. Will Bohm, director of admissions; and Penti Paularinne, admissions offi. cers, will represent LU. ****** eAn industrial relations conference sponsored by the LU School of Business Administration will take place at the University from Thursday, May 14 until Saturday, May 16. Delegates to the conference will analyze present policies and practices and explore new programs and methods in the field of industrial relations. eWilliam Shakespeare, his time, his plays and his theatre will again be highlighted during Lakehead University's Summer Session. The success of the Shakespeare Seminar and Theatre Workshop in previous years has prompted Dr. George Merrill, the Shakespeare specialist on the regular L.U. Faculty, to expand the offering this summer and to bring additional theatre personnel to work with him. Directing the Theatre Workshop this year in co-operation with Dr. Merrill will be Mr. & Mrs. •William Pendergrast of the faculty of National Theatre School of Canada located in Montreal. They will be assisted by Mr. & Mrs. Bartley Bard who are graduates of the National Theatre School. Carol Pendergrast is an expert in the field of voice and speech and a professional actress and singer. She has been a voice coach for actors at the Tyrone Guthrie Theatre in Minneapolis, the Stratford Festival Theatre in Stratford, Ontario, and most recently, the Arena Stage in Washington, D.C. AUTHOR! AUTHOR! eThe lead article in the recently published issue of "Habitat" is devoted to the city of Thunder Bay. Authored by Assistant Professor or Geography Ivor Davies, the paper examines the process leading to amalgamation and points up some of the similarities and differences between the two communities.

E 3 /1/l{LI .5 -=- 2 - Lakehead University PARKING 3 SECOND PHASE CAPITOL PROGRAM NEW ACADEMIC FACILITY, EXPANSIONS OF LIBRARY, ATHLETIC BUILDING ANNOUNCED •In 1966 Lakehead University entered the first phase of its Development Program, which was designed to provide space and facilities for a student body of 3000. A very successful Development Fund Campaign was launched which yielded over $3 million in pledges. Phase One construction and alterations are now nearing completion, after a total expenditure of $25 million, the majority of the balance coming from government grants. Enrolment at the University, however, has grown far more quickly than anticipated. In 1966 it was estimated that in 1970-71 there would be 2200 full-time students. Next year, in fact, our enrolment should exceed 3000. There will also be over :moo part-time students in the summer and winter sessions. In short, construction has been unable to keep pace with enrolment. Lakehead University, therefore, is today announcing the commencement of the second phase of its Development Program at an estimated $9.3 million. The initial stage of Phase Two will see the construction of facilities to serve academic, library, athletic and utility requirements as well as the attendant servicing and site development. The largest project will be a new academic building to house faculty offices and general purpose teaching areas, including one large lecture theatre. This new building, at an estimated cost of $2,830,000 will provide additional area of approximately 40,000 n.a.s.f. (Net Assignable Square Feet i~ the measurement of usable space in a building and excludes such areas as hallways, washrooms, storage areas, etc.) and will be completed in 1972. It will be designed in a modular fashion so that subsequent additions can be made while still retaining the aesthetic concept. An extension of 20,000 n.a.s.f. to the present Library building, at an estimated cost of $1 million, will be ready for late I 971. The extension will house for the most part Library service and administrative facilities. Expansion of stack and seating areas will be provided by the gradual vacation of upper floors of the present library building, which are currently utilized for teaching and faculty office space. The tremendous response to the University's new Physical and Health Education Program, a larger than anticipated student body and in· creased use of facilities by the non-University community have made imperative an expansion of our present athletic complex. This expansion will be in two stages. The first stage will provide, at an estimated cost of $500,000, much needed space for change and locker rooms, shower facilities, laundry and dispensing rooms and faculty offices. This 10,000 n.a.s.f. extension will be finished by the summer of 1971. The second stage for which the design and method of financing is not yet finalized, will provide additional teaching areas, squash courts (two of which are now occupying space required for academic purposes) and a competition -size swimming pool suitable for the teaching of swimming, diving and synchronized swimming. The academic, library and athletic buildings detailed above, when combined with the need to service a new Regional School of Nursing building to be built this year on the campus of Lakehead University, create a demand for additional heating and electrical facilities. The present Power House will be extended by 5000 n.a.s.f. and will provide space for the installation of one fifty thousand pound per hour boiler, an additional chiller, a diesel standby generator and a minimum amount of electrical work. The total cost of the Power House extension is an estimated $1.5 million, of which $1,225,000 will be for equipment. An estimated expenditure of $1,690,000 over the next three years will be required for Site Services and Utilities Extension. These projects are essential to integrate the new building with the balance of the campus. They will provide such necessities as heat, power, sewers, roads, walkways, exterior lighting and landscaping. An additional $30,000 will be expended on renovations to the Faculty of Education building (the former Lakehead Teachers' College). These renovations will increase the space available for the specialized Education Library, faculty offices and the student lounge. �for ll L.U.

ALUMNI eThe Lakehead University Alumni Association is a group of former students from Lakehead who seek to pay their rent to society by their interest in the welfare of those who occupy the student seats at the moment. Some of them feel very strongly that they received something of worth within the first walls built on the campus. It is this core which forms the L.U. Alumni Association. There are ninety - seven members, and a total of nine hundred and seventy - seven L.U. Alumni to date, since 1965. What are we doing?

He is replacing Dr. John Hart who is leaving for a two year sabbatical. hundred dollars for Undergraduate Bursaries, as well as the quarterly general meeting. The Executive plans the Graduation for the Alumni-to-be, plans the place, the food, and how to make ends meet. Often students think that the magic of a degree brings the magic of money - but money is only a by-product of time and effort, two things which money cannot buy. It is the time and effort of L.U. Alumni which we want and need to pay the 'rent'. For turther information on the L.U.

" MULTI-MODULES TO OFFER ''PROBLEM ORIENTED'' APPROACH SPANNING TRADITIONAL DISCIPLINES e"An atmosphere of intellectual excitement against a background of innovation and enquiry" describes a new academic program being planned by the Faculty of Arts. Called "multi - modules", the program covers three problem oriented course groupings and is designed to provide students with an interdisciplinary approach. Traditionally, most academic majors have centered on a single subject area, with emphasis often more upon content than application. The new program begins with the problem or application and then correlates existing courses that bear upon the problem area. Three multi modules will be introduced m September: I.International Studies 2.Environmental Planning 3. Taiga Studies ('Taiga' is defined in the dictionary as: "The far northern regions of North America") International Studies, as an example, will draw upon existing courses in fields such as Political Science, Economics, History and Sociology. Students will be encouraged to attempt to relate appropriate aspects of each subject within each of the disciplines as they bear upon the broad problem area of International Studies. An appropriate premise is: aspects of International Studies do not exist in a vacuum, but are inter - related. For example, a political upheaval (political science) may be prompted by an imbalance of personal earning (economics) which may stem from peer group differentials (sociology) that arise from altercations that developed decades before (history). One aspect cannot be studied or interpreted without the others. Tim Ryan, Dean of the Faculty of Arts, said, "These multi disciplinary modules are designed to offer a realistic and comprehensive view of a particular area of study, as seen by various departmen ts, even faculties. ·'They present to the student a variety of disciplinary methods," he added "and are designed, through emphasis of study and reflection, to extend the boundaries of knowledge and the horizon of the human intellect." What prompted the Faculty of Arts to develop these programs? Dean Ryan replied, "This multi - disciplinary aspect and the current trend towards combined fields of concentration are obviously, in my opinion, responses to the increasing complexity of contemporary life". The Dean noted that the programs have been evolved following months of study by faculty members. "Changing the curriculum at a university," he observed, "is like moving a graveyard. The physical problems pall before the issue of sanctity and sacrilege. However, while change does not necessarily assume progress, progress implacably requires change". Although three new programs are to be introduced in September, the number reflects a "go slow" attitude. Dean Ryan and others involved with planning the multi - modules believe that the traditional disciplinary approach can be further re-structured to better reflect the "problem-oriented" concept. They have two more such programs under serious study for possible introduction in September, 1971. Others are under consideration. The response by students and faculty participants in the three multi - module offerings and the ability of members of both groups to "inter relate" and "correlate" in a problem - oriented approach will help determine the scope of the multi - module program.

THE PROVINCIAL BUDGET & LAKEHEAD U. eGiven the economic necessity for restraint in spending by the Government of Ontario, the University feels that the 1970 provincial budget was fair and adequate. The value of the Basic Income Unit (the University's income per weighted student) will rise from the current $1556 ($1530 plus $26 for computer equipment) to $1650 in 1970/71, an increase of 6%. The University has also been informed that it may expect a further increase in the B.I.U. in 1971 /72 of 4.8%, to a total unit value of $1730. Dr. Tamblyn welcomed the announcement of the B.I.U. value two years in advance as a considerable aid to orderly planning. The 6% raise in the unit value was slightly more than the University had been planning for, but the resultant increase in formula grants was largely off.set by a smaller emergent grant than anticipated. (The emergent grant is a provincial subsidy for emerging universities.) The University had been told in March 1969 that it could use as a basis for planning for 1970/ 71 a projected emergent grant of 20',11,, of its formula income. We have now been informed that for 197017 1, our emergent grant has been fixed at $1,100,000 (or roughly 16% of formula income). Based on the estimated enrolment, therefore, the net increase in anticipated revenue will be $0G,OOO which will be largely devoted to salaries, mainly academic. Emergent grants in subsequent years have heen fixed at $700,000 (1971 /72) and $:l,i0,000 (1972/73). Due to a declining emergent grant, government grants per student will actually be lower in the coming year, despite the increase in the B.I.U. value. This is illustrated on page two, which shows the average government grant per full - time equivalent student (the average formula fee and the average weight are based upon 1969/70data). Notwithstanding these· shortcomings in the Capital Formula, the University's building program will proceed as planned. Construction will begin this year on a 20,000 N.A.S.F. library extension, a 10,000 N.A.S.F. athletic building extension, and a 5,000 N.A.S.F. (continued, �BUDGET-continued power house extension . Detailed plan• ning for a new 40,000 N.A.S.F. aca• demic building will also begin this year. The library extension will partially alleviate the overcrowded situation which now exists, while the athletic building extension will provide much needed space for dressing, laun dry and dispensing rooms and for faculty offices. The total capital expenditures for the 1970/7 1 fiscal year will he approximately $2,497,000 of which $1,79:1,000 will be provided by the government. The balance of over $700,000 will have to be provided by the University from other sources, for example the Development Fund, and perhaps through borrowing. Dr. Tamblyn was disappointed that in 1970/7 1 the government has provided only $300,000 in capital allocations for non-formula projects such as site services, equipment for the power house and utilities extension, although the estimated cost of these projects is $1,080,000. s~~ in<MeJQ9o eSix weeks of sun and studies at one of the world's most unusual centres for learning will await students enrolled in Lakehead University's Spanish Summer Session in Mexico this year. The Spanish program will be a combination of intensive learning and cultural activi---ties at the- Latin~American Centro Intercultural De Documentacion (CIDOC) at Guenevaca, near Mexico City. CIDOC is not a university, but a meeting place for humanists whose common concern is the effect of social and ideological change onman. One of the founders of CIDOC is Dr. Ivan Illich, a humanist and thinker who is profoundly committed to Latin America and her future. An interview with Illich recently appeared in the McGill University '~Reporter." Dr. Illich commented that CIDOC itself began in 1960 as a language school for adults interested in social change in Latin America. A library was later added and seminars were offered in two of its rooms. The CIDOC library and archives now compromise a documentation centre for a unique set of materials on Latin America, including manuscripts and documents not readily available in North America. This spring, CIDOC held a conference on alternatives in education with seminar leaders such as anti - Schoolmen like author John Holt, Peter Schrag and Illich himself - and the people who attended the conference. were invited to think out radical alternatives to the way things are in education theory and practice. Language classes at CIDOC are actually small, informal discussions. Usually the instruc- m, Value of B.I.U. (ineluding computer grant Average Formula Fee Per Weighted F.T.E.

The $167,000 balance will again have to be provided from other sources. No non-formula allocations for individual universities in 1971 /72 has been made by the government at this time. The University anticipates, however, that it will receive considerably more than $300,000 provided in 1970/7 1. The estimated non-formula costs in that year will be$1,340,000. Dr. Tamblyn concluded by stating that the grants to L.U. were a welcome reflection of the comment by the Minister of University Affairs that "education continues to be the number one priority of the Government of Ontario." In other areas of the University's operating budget, the government has continued its support of the Black Sturgeon Biology Station in the amount of $30,000. The Faculty of Education continues to be supported by separate, non-formula grants. The University is looking forward to the time when Education students will be included in 10am 12:15 7pm 8pm 7pm 1:30pm 8pm 9am8pm MON.APRIL27 Mathematics Departmental Meeting Rm.428.3 Board of Governors Senate Meeting Chambers Cambrian Players & Lakehead Choral Group Rehearsal for "My Fair Lady" Aud .

Dr. Tamblyn was pleast>d with the government's decision to make allowances for part-time students and for Lakehead University's emergent situation in the Capital Grants Formula . He felt, however, that the announcement of 100% government support of the approved costs • of capital projects, rather than the % % provided in the current year, was subject to misinterpretation. Since there has been no ~aise in the cost per square foot allocation since the introduction of the Interim Capital Formula in I 9H8, the University will be forced to find other funds to complete its capital projects. "The allocation of $55 per net assignable square foot is simply inadequate to plan, build and equip a building today, especially in Northwestern Ontario with our higher costs for material," said Dr. Tamblyn. Also, the standard allowance under the Interim Capital Forrpula of 9H net assignable square feet (n.a.s.f.) per weighted student was not the result of careful study of students' actual space requirements but a re• flection of the limits on the govern• ment's ability to finance capital expenditures in the universities. 9am-5pm 9am-5pm 7pm 8pm 9am5pm 7pm 8pm 7pm 7pm 8pm Youth Theatre Reh.

Fellowship at this University for research into computer based hospital inventory systems. DRUG SURVEY IN NWO BY DR. AS/Ml eDr. A. Asimi, Associate Professor of Sociology at Lakehead University recently reported that a committee on drug abuse established earlier this year at LU has faded out "Almost out of existence," he commented. The purpose of the committee was mainly to help those young persons who may need it, with information about the effects of drugs. Some of the members of the committee have helped Dr. Asimi in his survey of teenagers and drugs in Northwestern Ontario. "I am going to try to set up another (committee) but of a different kind, - inconspicuous, informal and more related to other organizations in the community," Dr. Asimi said. Preliminary results of the survey conducted by Dr. Asimi involving 2,500 teenagers in eight major communities in Northwestern Ontario, indicate that up to 15% of the teenage population try drugs and up to 11 % experiment with glue sniffing or inhaling other similar substances. Another 10% to 12% of those who have not tried would like to try if and when they can find the opportunity. The age level at the first experience with drugs varies, but it is revealing to note that around 10% of the experimentors had their first contact with drugs below the age of 10. Dr. Asimi reports: "This is the general picture of the drug scene in Northwestern Ontario. Obviously the numbers involved are not large, however the seriousness of eDr. K. J. Charles, Chairman of the Department of Economics, will be returnihg to the United Nations in New York this summer on a fixedterm appointment as Economics Affairs Officer. Whi1e at the U.N. he will assist the Centre for Development Planning, Projections, and Policies, of the Economic and Social Affairs, in its research connected with the preparations being made for the Second Development Decade. This is the third consecutive year that he has received such an appointment. During his first appointment, he prepared a report on "Capital Efficiency in Developing Economies". Last year his research was in the area of "Imbalances in Economic Development". Dr. Charles will leave for his U.N. assignment on May 1, 1970 and will be returning to Lakehead University at the beginning of September. DR. ASIMI the issue in other respects · can hardly be doubted. Instead of seeking to control drug behavior through thwarting its expression or fighting its symptoms, we should concentrate on identifying the underlying causes and try to remove them even though the process may be long and hard." He continued. " . . . a beginning should be made with concerned individuals in their own families (apparently there are a number of such persons in each community.) From families, the change will spread to neighborhoods ... Surely, there is need for concern, but the spirit of 'crisis' must be avoided. Such a spirit prevents a cool and long range perspective." Dr. Asimi is continuing his research into more vital areas of the issue and is willing to cooperate with those who may wish to involve themselves in the task in the university or in the regional communities. �MON.APHIL20 Cmnhrian f>la\'t'rs l{<•hParsal • ,pm lli.l1':--p11Jb()l'l'd TUES.APRIL21 l '.< .

He is a Fellow of the Royal Institute of Chemistry and was accepted as a member of the Council of the Institute. Dr. Ross is married and has three children. Following his new appointment, Dr. Ross was interviewed by the LU WEEK editor. EDITOR: How do you view faculty I student relations at Lakehead University? Could they be improved? DR. ROSS: I feel that a more constructive approach is necessary. There are too many small ripples which have been exaggerated into tidal waves by hastl over-reactions. We are all students' and we all have our duties to each other and to the outside community. The system used by the ancient Scottish Universities regarding student participation in university government has proved its worth. There, the students elect a Rector to effectively represent their views on the university court. I understand that Queen's University, Kingston follows this scheme and I believe that our students and faculty would benefit from its introduction here. EDITOR: You were recently awarded a grant to continue your research activities in gas/ solid reactions. Will the demands of your new position leave you enough time for research? DR. ROSS: I have a good group of research students capable and conscientious. We shall keep ourselves very active. I don't intend to lose contact with the undergraduates either and shall lecture for one course next year. These interactions are essential, I helieve, to preserve a balanced outlookontheuniversity. EDITOR: Your experiments and work in collaboration with the Kimberly-Clark Co. at Terrace Bay are directly related to one of the most pressing problems of our times air pollution. Do you believe there may be a solution to it in the near future? DR. ROSS: Currently, along with colleagues in Engineering, Physics and Biology, I am fursuing funds for additiona research effort in this area. We have had an enthusiastic response from Industry with respect to possible research collaboration on the plant. Primarily we are interested in remedial measures and we recognize that there are many problems to be solved. EDITOR: What kind of future do you foresee for the Faculty ofScience at L. U.? DR. ROSS: Probably stabilization in the short term followed by a natural expansion in the existing Sciences as the pendulum of student course preference swings back to us from SociolQgy and the Arts. Also, the Faculty of Science is carefully examining the need for new courses of an interdisciplinary and applied nature. I see these as important pos• sibilities at both the graduate and undergraduate levels. My personal view with respect to research and graduate work is that we should concentrate our talents and efforts in two areas, cuttin~ across the classical disc1·plincs of Science. These areas could be linked to Northern Ontario in one case and to interdisciplinary work in physical and applied science m the other. I look forward to co-o~ation with all sections of the university community. ·rn particular, I look forward to continued close coop~rauon with all of my colleagues in the Faculty of Science. 1 �for library Use Olly eThe Cambrian Players will present three short comedies in the University Centre Theatre on April 21-25, as a finale to their productions this season. Toronto director Ron Hartman has been working with three separate casts for the plays which include the main feature "Black Comedy". This situation comedy involves an odd assortment of people who end up together in an apartment during a black out. The second play is a satire of the American family and its way of life entitled "Crawling Arnold" by Jules Feiffer. Two characters only are involved m "You're the only WASP I Know", a comedy of character by Grace Richardson.

Meeting All events subject to last minute change �for li The University and Research eThe article in the previous issue of Lakehead University Week raises some interesting and significant issues: there is hot debate at Lakehead University and elsewhere about the "relevance" of the modern university to the society of which it is a creature. Lakehead University is perhaps more vulnerable to criticism than most, because of its unique situation in the centre of a vast, uninhabited and largely undeveloped area. It -is plausible to suggest, as the article does, that the University is not really interested in the educational problems of the inhabitants of Northwestern Ontario, and has done little to foster research in the area: criticism is cheap - as Shaw said, there are no statues to critics - but teaching and research are expensive, in terms of both financial and intellectual effort. The necessity for more than adequate financing is selfevident to anyone who lives in the northland; and by that I mean the allocation of a budget large enough to permit the University to undertake something more than the basic core academic subjects, similar in form (though perhaps not in detail) with those offered in any other Canadian university. There are undoubtedly highly intelligent people living in tiny townships and reservations who graduate from high school but do not progress to university, or if they do manage to enter, drop out in first year. There are people three, four and five hundred miles from the University who are entitled to our services, but we can reach them only sporadically and with great effort, if at all. There are students in the University at the present time who would dearly love to undertake profession al programs in law, dentistry and medicine, and, in order to do so, migrate to Southern Ontario, from whence they usuaBy do not return. Without the funding. we cannot possibly tackle these problems. Then too, students want to be educated ior life in the big city, not for existence in the bush or small, possibly transient company town: they understand very well that in the absence of a stable base of secondary and tertiary industries, the north cannot but stagnate. Those who do stay will find an increasingly limited range of opportunities. With careful planning by the Province, these opportunities can and must be created in such a way as to preserve what is best in our unique environment. To say that the University or more specifically. its President, does not seek or suppor1; research_.. into.. ne>_rthern problems is absurd. The research projects listed in the Annual Report, a public document, range from studies of Lake Superior to the improvement of wild rice: from the catalytic breakdown of sulphorous air pollutants to the properties of very special local papers. These projects are well funded, a measure of the confidence of the granting bodies in our faculty members; and most of them are cooperative with governments departments and local industries. Incidentally, the idea of "unattached dollars" is naive in. the extreme. Projects are funded when they show promise or achievement. Most grants are made only as the result of carefully planned submissions to the granting body by the men who are going to do the work, and I find it hard to imagine society spending tax money on a grant without strings, especially in the enormous and ill-defined subject of northern area studies. In fact, such an award would at best be irresponsible. It may be argued that we are not doing enough people research - that is, we are not trying to find out the needs and wishes of the populace. There is some merit in this criticism, but it's a pretty tricky subject - people often resent having the hell researched out of them; when what they really want is a decent standard of living, the reward of their own traditional or contemporary innovative activities. One aspect of university life which is not well understood is the process by which academic teaching and research policies are decided. Although I am sure some of my colleagues would be prepared to argue the point, academics are really very free people. · Courses and programs are planned by departments and the Senate, but ine emphasis put into a particular course is very much left to the instructor. If the edict were to go out "You must teach more Northern Studies", the jeer would be heard from here to the Bronx. Incidentally, where on earth would we recrui t specialist instructors? The USSR, I suppose. The same thing is true of research - an individual's research time is his own. How, then, does a university go about setting a direction? To be brutal, one highly effective control is by the allocation of teaching and research funds, but this can only operate when the university has funding surplus to its basic needs (however they may be defined). The President has made several submissions to the main provincial financing body, the Committee on University Affairs, for modest funds to start an Institute of Indian Affairs and an institute of northern studies. All requests have been preemptorily rejected in a fashion suggesting once again, that Toronto is not prepared to support northern activities, and that, if only Southern Ontario keeps quiet, Northern Ontario will go away. There is an effective, though perhaps rather unfashionable way of getting such things done - by leadership. Most universities have rather loose institutes devoted to specific topicsInternational Affairs, Canadian Studies, Space Research and so on. These institutes exist because one man or a group of men have enough knowledge, interest and personality to lead their colleagues into that area, by free association. We have one such institute with the rather prosaic title of "Research Group No. 1", devoted to a wide range of the properties of materials (Including those specific to the north). But so far, in spite of the efforts of the President to support such activities, no !ffective leader has emerged for a northern research group. In such a free society, we can only foster northern studies by making continued appeals to Treasury Board for the wherewithal to catalyse activity in the subject, and try to discover the leader who will direct the experiment (for that is the essence of northern studies) with vigor and initiative. -ByDr.JohnHart. ein the previous issue of LU Week (Vol. 2, No. 28), a statement was made that northern area studies have not received significant financial support from the University for research projects. The Senate Research Committee of Lakeheaa University handles all requests for financial support for research projects which require internal funds, and this committee has never received a formal application from the Northern Areas Studies Committee for support for projects. The Research Committee solicited applications from the Northern Areas Study group in a ietter dated March 14, 1969, but to this date no application has been received. -Dr. John Talbot. eL.U.

Dr. Kuratowski will deliver mathematical lectures and participate in a research week in mathematics, devoted to problems in geometry. As a guest of the university's Special Events Committee, he will also give a public lecture on the organization of mathematics in Poland. It will begin at 8:30 p.m. in the University Centre Theatre on Friday, April 6. Dr. Kuratowski was born in Warsaw, in 1896, and his professional life has spanned a period of cruel conflict in Europe. Nevertheless scientific activity in Poland has flowered and he has been a major contributor to the development of the mathematical science of Topology. Kuratowski attended the University of Glasgow and earned his Doctorate at the University of Warsaw in 1921 and has been a Professor t}:iere since 1934. During the war, he was a Professor in the clandestine University of Warsaw. After the war, Polish science had to be reconstructed and Kuratowski has played a central role, both as Vice-President of the Polish Academy of Science from 1957-68 and was founder of the Polish Mathematical Institute, which he served as President for 19 years. In recognition of his important role in mathematics and in the sciences of his country, Professor Kuratowski has received many awards, among them Honorary Doctorate Degrees from the Universities of Glasgow, Prague, Wroclaw and Paris.

Breakey, Editor Gail Keffer, Secretary Vol. 2, No. 28 ___ March 26, 1970 □ The following article entitled "Has Lakehead University lost chance to be northern research centre," appeared in the Thursday, March 19-70 edition of THE GLOBE AND MAIL. It was written by Ross H. Munro. "There were a lot of us who thought this university would serve Northern Canada - it hasn't worked out that way." Professor Kenneth Dawson of Lakehead University has the credentials to make that statement stick. He's the university's director of northern area studies. On a recent cold and sunny afternoon, 1~r. Dawson talked about why his university has so far missed its chance to become a centre for northern research especially research to examine independently current and proposed changes in the social, economic and ecological structre of the North. Mr. Dawson laid most of the blame on his own university's administration which, he said, has never put a high priority on northern research, has never gone out of its way to recruit academics interested in the north and has never put much money into northern. research. There's a lack of support at the top level," Mr. Dawson said. "The president should be saying "This is what we must be doing". Virtually all northern research at the university has strings attached, he said. There are currently about 20 northernoriented projects being conducted by archeologists, economists, sociologists, geologists, biologists and others. Most of the projects serve the special needs of provincial and federal Government departments which commission and finance them. Mr. Dawson does not oppose this type of research - his committee on northern area studies acts as a conduit for the funds. "But our real problem is that we have very few unattached dollars for students and professors to do basic research on the North." This is partly the fault of Government agencies which are reluctant to hand out unattached dollars, he said, but it is also the fault of the university. Mr. Dawson said university president William G. Tamblyn has not aggressively pursued such funds. And he added that northern research gets less than $1,000 a year from the university's budget. Mr. Dawson then made the more serious charge that professors engaged in independent and critical research - into water pollution caused by industry, for instance - do not receive promotions or other rewards as quickly as other professors. "There is no explicit policy, but people who are trying to make a contribution are discriminated against one way or another." He gave some examples of local situations where there is an urgent need for independent, critical research: -There is already evidence available indicating that tree harvesting for pulp mills could turn parts of Northwestern Ontario into desert within 50 years, he said. Reforestation often fails, because the new trees tie in thin northern soil. Then the soil loses its nutrients and other vegetation dies too. "The whole ecological thing has to be studied," Mr. Dawson said. "We do know this - it's a very sensitive balance up here - the regrowth factor is very slow." Most faculty members have little knowledge about or interest in the North when the university hires them, Mr. Dawson said. It takes at least two years for an academic to reorient his research interests, and often this never happens. "These people know about Philadelphia but very little about the situation around here. Research should be done by people in the North who are committed to staying in the North." Mr. Dawson, who was trained as an archeologist, first came to the Lakehead in 1961 as local director of the federal Government's Industrial Development Bank. The teaching program reflects Lakehead University's northern location even less than the research program. Recently the university announced a Taiga Studies program which it described as an "inter-disciplinary module designed to offer undergraduates an opportunity to study several facets of the immediate area." But an examination of the program makes it obvious that it's an attempt to paper over the real lack of courses on the North. According to descriptions in the university calendar, most courses offered under Taiga Studies don't relate to the North at all. Others are peripheral. An advanced biology course and an introductory forestry course are the only ones wholly concerned with the North. President Tamblyn 's explanation for this situation is that if the university had a unique curriculum, its students would have difficulty getting into other universities after they finished at Lake head. The president added that students have never expressed much interest in northern studies. "One of the last things a student from Atikokan wants to do is become a geologist and go back to Atikokan," he said. Mr. .Tamblyn qualified that by saying many of Lakehead's graduates happily return to the North after spending a few years in Southern Ontario. Mr. Tamblyn said the university's prime responsibility is to offer students the courses they want, whether they relate to the north or not. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
