The six portables are there in the spirit of expansionist art, as a result of the admission of an additional one- hundred students to the Bachelor of Education Program. The additional one hundred spaces create a new ceiling where formerly there were up to 2,600 students competing for 150 places in the one year Bachelor of Education Program. The expansion comes at a time when, according to Dr. R.W. McLeod, Dean of Education, ''The province is going from a surplus situation to one of a teacher shortage". There is already a teachers shortage in Southern Ontario, especially within the Separate School System which has expanded due to recent funding by the provincial government. A need for teachers also exists in Northwestern Ontario in the area of specialized education. The simple fact remains that the teaching staff across the province is aging. As large numbers of teachers retire, more teachers are re- quired to take their places. Dean- McLeod said that several teachers are likely to move out of the educational system this year due to the closing of a ministry retirement window. These teachers will be required to leave by June in order to take advantage of an early retirement without penalty. The Ministry of Colleges and Universities has provided for the necessary expansion in the form of an access fund. According to Fred Poulter, Vice-President of Administration, the fund was meant as a temporary measure to handle the expected bulge in enrolment with the OACs, until the bulge is gone. The resultant expansion of the Education Department has affected both human and physical resources. No new permi!nent staff have been added to the Education Department to accommodate the increase in students. Instead, new staff members have term appointments. Appointments may be extended once it is determined that a continuing need exists. Among the term appointments is the new Field Experience Coordinator, Mrs. . Helen Prodanyk. Hers is a three year term appointment. Dr. James Ryan and Dr. James Haines have two year term appointments and will instruct respectively in the areas of Educational Administration and Educational Psychology. Professor Robert Welsh is on a two year secondment from the Lakehead Board of Education, lending his expertise to the area of Elementary Curriculum and Evaluation. Secondary Curriculum and Evaluation will be taught by Mr. James Carter who has a one year appointment. Portables were bought to . accommodate spacing problems due to the increase in enrolment. The purchase price of the portables was included in the $199,000 access grant made available to the University by the Ministry. In addition to the temporary nature of the assistance provided by the grant, there was a time element to consider. This resulted in the purchase of the six portables ready and available from the Lakehead District Catholic· School Board. Considerable alterations have been made to the portables; as well a considerable amount of thought has gone into. their placement. The two portables providing in- One thing's for sure, you can't say that P.am Christie doesn' t get involved. Christie, a second year Political Studies major here at LU, is a founding member of the citywide S.A.O.D. (Students Against Drunk Driving) organization, an instructor with the Red Cross, a volunteer with the Addiction Research Foundation and president of the Young Liberals. Christie was also elected as a co-ordinator for both the Ontario Young Liberals board and the Ontario Liberal Party Executive Board. She serves as a liason between the area ridings and the senior party organization in Toronto. With such an active involvement in community and regional affairs, it comes as no surprise to hear that she is planning to run for a position of trustee on the Lakehead Board of Education in the November 14 elections. Christie said she was prompted to run out of a deep concern for the educational system and what students are being taught in the system. She feels -strongly that stu- dents need to be adequately prepared for the fut_ure. "I want to make sure that everyone who graduates from the Lake head Board ...can go onto university or college or even onto the workforce, if they decide to do that, with a sense they have accomplished something and they know what's going on," Christie said. "And also, I want to make sure that the board is fiscally responsible," she added. Christie said she has been looking at running for the school board for quite some •time now and has been familiarizing herself with the duties of a trustee. "I'm going over to the board office to talk to some people who are involved and I've spoken to a couple of past board members just to find out how much time is involved," Christie explained. "I've also spoken to the Minister of Education and casually inquired about things," she added. Christie admits that she has never personally attended a board meeting but she has read a lot of the information sent out by the provincial ministry concern- ..

The portables housing faculty offices and administration to the Native Language Instructional Program have access to coinciding facilities within the main building. The portable located off the Student Lounge will serve the needs of the graduate students. Sessiona l instructors also have their own portable. As the portables are only a temporary solution, Dean McLeod said that he hoped a permanent structure would be built to accommodate the expansion. Vice-President Poulter said that the University had applied to the Ministry for a new education building in the past three years, but had yet been unsuccessful. However, with a new bid in the works, ,the portables on the lawn may just satisfy the Ministry that the need for a new building does exist. a Power Plant Fire Student Profile: Pam Christie by George Krebs Increased enrollment forces School of Education to seek shelter.

Christie doesn't seem to be worried about the demands the job of a trustee will place on her if she is elected. Although she is a full-time student at LU, she believes her class schedule will allow her enough time to serve on the board. She will make it her part-time job. "Well, a lot of people who are running now have fulltime jobs and also have a family at home," Christie said. "Other people have managed it with far busier schedules than myself." Christie will also have to deal with the question of experience. She is nineteen years old, having just graduated from Port Arthur Collegiate High School in 1987. However, she does not see her age as a disadvantage. "I haven't had any negative comments yet about my age. I say that I have twelve A fire in the university power pJant caused more than $60,000 damage, but the power plant will be operating as normal. The August 25 fire was caused by a malfunction of the switch, according to Arthur Davies, Director of the Physical Plant. When the operator turned off the switch, a surge of power went through it, burning the flammable parts and producing a lot of smoke. Davies estimated the damage to be ''between sixty and one hundred thousand dollars." He added that only electrical repairs are necessary and that there was no building damage. The power plant, adjacent to the Centennial Building, receives all the electricity for the campus, generates steam and controls the air condjtioning system. The fire has left two units out of commission and repairs will take four to five months. However, Davies assures that "everything' s back to normal." Davies maintains that the fire was not the result of faulty equipment because the switch was inspected and cleaned only two months ago. The power plant is equipped with heat detectors; however, Davies said that the opera tor immediately phoned in the fire to security, which called the fire department. a years experience on the board-in education," Christie said. She adds, "The system is fresh in my mind. My brother is still in the school system and ... I have friends in the school system. I probably have a little different perspective of how the education system works." Christie has expressed concern about the Action Team running in the next election. She feels that candidates should run as individuals and that by joining a team a person is being "unfair to themselves". Christie said that members of the Action Team, if elected, might "feel obligated to go with the rest of the team instead of speaking out on your own interests." Pam Christie will announce her candidacy for the Lakehead Board on September 7, after which her campaign will get fully under way. c 15 September,' f98'8'•tfte'Argus:.f»cige5 ., �President's Report Orientation Fever EDITORIAL I know that editorials are g~nera~ly used t<? critic_ize things about our environment winch give our hfe pam (speed bumps, for example) but this article is not going to be like that. Instead, I would like to talk about the positive atmosphere on campus at the beginning of this fall. Last year, things were not great -- the professors and administration were deadlocked in a strike, affecting the Winter Carnival, and almost eliminating Study Break and/ or two weeks of student work time in the summer. Student politics were a sham, and the Argus was considered as worse. All around, there were not very many happy campers. This year, everyone' attitude seems to be very different. For example, LUSU and the LU administration are working together on many projects, and each is keeping the the other informed of general happenings. There is actually communication! The attitude within LUSU has drastically changed, too. The Executive held meetings at least once every two weeks this summer; these meetinss often went three and four hours in length. Many projects were started this that will be continued during the year, and some were even wrapped up before September start~. The attitudes of Corrine, David, Lorri Randy, and the leadership of Roch, show that a lot should get done for the students this year. The progress in the Study (under the supervision of Bruce Graham) is proof of this. .h h . . Argus has also improved its relations wit t f" university in general. Katherine Sheddon of the Agora, ~he administration newspaper, and Argus ha:ve been exchanging ideas, stories and photos, and a lot of support. T~e Nor'wester, which is published by Alumni, has also been in contact with Argus. Relations between Argus and LUSU are much better this year - for a change. The fighting and mud-slinging has been replaced by a good working relationship, and a mutual concern for helping and invofving the student. So where does this leave us? With a better university. The best example so far is the President's BBQ last Wednesday night, which drew many more than the expected 500 students. But it wasn't just students who attended. Of course, Dr. Rosehart, the president of Lakehead was there, as well as Fred Poulter, VP of Finan.ce, Joy Lawson, Director of Student Services and many other administrators. Dr. Zimmermann and Dr. Gellert were a couple of the professors who were cooking up the hamburgers for everyone. Every LUSU executive member attended as well as some of the Board of Directors. And of course, there were a huge amount of students. The circumstances and the atmosphere of this • event really made.me realize"how well everyone is getting along. If this keeps up, _we might get through the year without a scandal. • Strange, isn't it'~ . Graham Strong Ad and Submissions Deadline is Friday at 4:30pm So you've done that registration 'thing' and hopefully you've found a place to stay. The mood on Campus seems positive. As I started to write this report I was up to my neck in "campus kits". By the end of the week we'll be virtually sold out. Obviously the "!-shirt and balloons for the kids" are a hit. I had fun picking up students at the airport, train and bus terminal~. Students ~ppreci~ted the service and I had a chance to meet some new people. It was especially fun doing the red eye" express with Late Nite Productions. . Communication lines between LUSU and Res seem to be openmg up and you've got to like it. A Res student is actually sitting on the LUSU Board of Directors. If Greg Beckford's help and enthusiasm this week is any indication of \\'.hat's to come then I'm looking forward to a good year. Glad to have you "on Board" Greg. Speaking of Res, the idea of the week award has got to go to Res boss and LUSU Senator John Burton and Co. Res held their hop in both Res and Main Cafeterias last Friday. Alcohol was served in the Res Caf, dancing and smoking went on in the Main Caf. Once I got the system figured out I had a good time. And so did most of the other 600 students. The Argus will most likely do the same next Friday for their Video show. The LUSU Board of Directors initial meeting will take place next Thursday at 6:00 p.m. in the Senate Chambers. We may get a visit from the Chairperson of the Canadian Federation of Students, Beth Brown. If not, she is scheduled to be on campus for the following Friday anyway. Reaction to the 'Study' renovations are, on the whole, favourable. Some students are concerned about whether or not it will last. I tend to be more optimistic. So far we've only had one casualty (broken chair) Touch wood! Doc and Randy are looking into revamping our sound system as well. Not only will we get quality sound but we'll save money on production when bands play in the 'Study'. A lot of new faces are coming through the office. If you're interested in getting involved there's plenty of events and committee work we need help with. Contact any executive, board member or Lorraine for more info. Be nice to Lorraine though, she's battery operated now. Now that's what I call complete computerization of the office. Hats off to Corinne Santa and all of her associates for putting together an impressive orientation package. This ought to get us on the right footing for the year.

This comes as a result of a revised smoking policy which has greatly reduced the areas where smoking is permitted. Fred Poulter, Vice Presi• dent of Administration, said that the revisal is a response to the former smoking policy of May 1986 which he said he felt had not been respected. "What we needed was a policy with more tooth." The increased militancy shown towards smoking is reflected by many other institutions and businesses within both the public-arid private sectors. The policy revisal was produced after consultation with representatives of virtually every union and employees group on campus. In an effort to be truly representative, the group included both staff and students, smokers and non-smokers. Said Poulter "Only involvement like this will make the policy work." According to the new po_licy, smoking is restricted to the following areas: the designated1areas of the Main Cafeteria the Faculty Lounge the Bora Laskin Student Lounge HERE'S Code of Student Conduct and -the Games Room -the Aesthetics Lounge Discipline and it is expected that several steps before ex• -the Study -UC0046-Custodial change plsion will prevail.

"Not in the near future•not if we plan to have a student union building." Presently, a new student union building tops the LUSU executive's agenda this year. Twenty-five dollars from each student's tuition is being directed towards the student union building fund. The fund was created four years ago by LUSU. If there is to be a radio station in the future, it would be located in the union building. Photo by Peter Puna The Day the Music Died Radio Station not a top priority says Corln_n e Santa. "Our (irst priority is the student union building. It's the main project. The longer the delays for the building, the longer the delays for a radio station," Corinne ~id. Corinne also pointed out other problems in establishing a radio station on ca'mpus, including permission from the Department of Transportation and Communication, equipment, hiring staff, broadcasting hours, size of the listening audience and advertising. Corinne predicted that there could be some conflicts with other local radio stations. And then there is profitability. "From what people have told me, no radio station in a Canadian university is making money." The University of Toronto's campus radio station CIUT is facing a $150,000 operating deficit. c CODE Helps Illiteracy ARGUS is looking for: • Writers • Photographers • C.o mputer Wizzes • YOUf Come Down-to the ARGUS office UC0019 (Past The Games Room) GUELPH (ISIS) •• Over 800 million people in the world today cannot read or write. The Canadian Organization for Development Through Education is trying to change the figure. Their underlying belief is that to help people help themselves they first need the right tools, and for CODE an essential tool for a better life is literacy. Through literacy comes knowledge about lowering health risks, better medical techniques, more productive farming methods, and developing better storage methods. It also gives an individual greater understanding and control about the world which can only lead to a fuller existence. Beyond these life skills, literacy opens the mind to the wonders of the world. As an organization, CODE keeps getting even more effective because their approach is based on practical. programs. One unique approach is that of '1ndigenous Publishing" in which CODE provides needy groups with paper and materials to do their own printing. This method means that instead of sending ready•made Western style educational material, a group can create printed books in the local language to suit a specific need. CODE also appreciates that of the 800 million illiterate people in the world, 600 million are women. CODE makes a conscious effort, when printed material is sent from Canda, to provide information relevant to women and their development. c r, I p \ t~Sepfe'ni6er~ 198~-Argus:Page s· �MNR CentreBack to Drawing Boards stry of Natural Resources for their research purposes. • Al though the centre would The new forest/biology centre to be built beside the be equipped and used by the library has gone back to the MNR, Arthur Davies, Physidrawing boards because the cal Plant Director, feels the proposed project went way university will definitely over budget.

Waterloo has a large number of co-op education courses resulting in students often leaving campus for extended periods of time. For a campus newspaper this means that writers may find themselves in another city and unable to submit articles. The situation would have continued at the Imprint were it not for Doug Thompson, then Imprint's head typesetter, and Shawn Sheridan, a·computer science major. Using university computer facilities in Waterloo and Toronto Sheridan was able to send stories through the computer lines directly to the Imprint typesetting machine. This resulted in a considerable time savings for both editors and typesetters. With a new fond interest in using computers and telephone to . exchange information, Doug Thompson developed ISIS with the help of Jay Lechtamn, the features editor of the John Hopkins News-Letter in Baltimore Maryland. Over the past two years the software has been developed and a network created that allowed ISIS to start distribution this fall. Last year newspapers across Canada received printed packages of of information from ISIS as the first step in starting an independant news exchange for student papers. The packages were informative, current, and for the most part, relevant to student issues. Working under two SEED grants this past summer, the Argus visited ISIS in Wat~rloo to determine if the Argus could in fact enter this new age where computers phone each others and university students in Australia want to read our paper. The concept is simple, the technology is almost beyond comprehension. Science fact and science fiction have met, inside a small plastic computer in the basement of the University Centre. The Argus has entered the 21st century, 12 years ahead of everyone else. ISIS is a reality that is surfacing around the world. The initial contact with ISIS could not have been made without the help of the Lakehead University Computer Centre and support staff. Using the Micro Vax systen and the Bitnet network the Argus was able to be the first newspaper in the world to initiate a contact with ISIS through a computer terminal with the aid of an on-site technician. Anyone wishing to submit articles or letter to the Argus using telephone modems or the university main frames should contact the Argus office for addressing information. Latin America Advances in Literacy Not Great by Gustavo Gonzalez SANTIAGO, Chile, (IPS)(via ISIS) -- Latin America has experienced a great expansion in educational opportunities over the last 20 years with a concurrent reduction in illiteracy, but overall women have benefitted less than men. This is the conclusion of a report by the Latin American Demographic Center (Celade) which surveyed 13 countries in the region, including the most populous ones, and found that -- with the exception of Venezuela -literacy rates for women are uniformly lower than those for men. The Center, which is part of the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC), a United Nations-affiliated organization, selected for study countries which had available comparable census data for a period close to 1980. Of the countries studied, Haiti, Guatemala and Bolivia had the highest percentages of illiterate adults. The other countries surveyed were Venezuela, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Panama, Paraguay, Peru and Uruguay. Female illiteracy is 64.4 percent in Haiti, 43 percent in Bolivia and 48 percent in Guatemala. Argentina, Chile and Uruguay, in contrast, exhibfted less than 10 percent illiteracy among women, the lowest in the' region. Celade's study found that the expansion of education has reached nearly all sectors of the Latin American population, producing important social and demographic changes. These transformations, however, have not wiped out existing differences between urban and rural areas, and it is in the countryside that the highest rates of illiteracy persist. This is attributable in part, the study found, to the phenomena of better educated peasants migrating from the countryside to the cities in search of work. In the region in general, rates of urban illiteracy vary from five percent to 39 percent, while in the rural areas the figures were 15 to 73 percent. In Argentina, Chile and Colombia literacy rates for men and women are quite similar in the cities, but in Argentina and Chile rural women have literacy ratesJ5 percent below their urban counterparts. In Haiti and Guatemala, which report the highest rates for the region, illiteracy is 30 percent greater among women in the countryside than in the cities. In its general conclusions, Celade notes that throughout most of Latin America, notwithstanding the rural-urban dichotomy, women are going to school in greater numbers and for more years than ever before. "Women, in general, are reaching a level of education a little under that of men," said the agency, adding that "this is true for countries whose populations show more education, as well as those where there is a high percentage of people without education." In Haiti barely 20 percent of girls attend primary school, while at the other extreme, seven percent of women in Uruguay attend university or receive some forrri of higher education, the highest rate for the region. In its last annual report, the United Nations Children~s Fund (UNICEF) found that in 1985 in Haiti, 40 percent of men and 35 percent of women were literate. This was an improvement over 1970, when the figures were 26 and 17 percent. In these same 15 years, according to UNICEF, literacy among Guatemalan men rose from 51 to 63 percent. The rates for women went from 37 to 47 percent. In Bolivia, with the third lowest literacy rates among the countries studied, male literacy grew from 68 percent in 1970 to 84 percent in 1985, and female literacy from 46 to 65 percent.a omputer Crime on ampus substantiate the rumours. "Or. John Drake, Assistant Vice-President of Computing and Information Services at McMaster, ha(d) circulated a memorandum among faculty members which essentially state(d) that the rumours (were) in fact only rumours. Said Drake, the rumours have been 'rampant in the university system ... it's been everywhere.'' stated the March 17, 1988 Newsbrief. "There have been rumours in most Ontario universities ... but to my knowledge they (RCMP) have not been on any campus," the Brief continued. Drake also said, then, that he had "no idea" why the problem had been so widespread. At the same time as the information was received on the rumours, the Silhouette received a telephone call from the Waterloo Imprint that questioned the validity of the rumours in relation to similar allegations circulating on the University of Waterloo campus. HAMILTON (ISIS) -- A former McMaster student has pleaded guilty following an RCMP investigation relating to the copyright of computerchips and software. The former student was fined $1,500 and sentenced to 170 hours of community services work. Few details were available at press time; however, Silhouette records have revealed a correlation to rumours reported on March 17, 1988. The March story appeared in a Newsbrief headlined "RCMP campus investigation a rumour." The report cited rumours of an RCMP investigation into pirated software that sprang up on southern Ontario university campuses, including McMaster. Sergeant Moriarty of the Hamilton detachment of .the RCMP said, at the time, "you can put those rumours to rest," saying he knew of no such investigations being conducted. McMaster Security officials also, at that time, denied any knowledge of any evidence which would ♦ ., • 1 , I 1, \ • • I• .. , ._ 4... • "'\ • 15 September, 1988-Argus-Page 7 �Coparn PC 88C Compact Personal Computer Fully Loaded Features Malnboard: • 8KROMBIOS • 640K RAM built-in • Four 8-bit expansion slots • One serial RS-232 communication port • One parallel port • One floppy disk drive port • Programmable speaker 0 Hard Disk Drive • 30 MB hard drive • Expansion option Base Model Floppy Disk Drives CPU • Internal 16-bit 8088-V20 microprocessor: 4.77, 7.15 and 9.54 MHz speeds, 0 wait state • 8087 math coprocessor, optional Mainboard: • 8K ROM BIOS • • 640K RAM built-in • Four 8-bit expansion slots • One serial RS-232 communication port • One parallel port • One floppy disk drive port • Programrr,able speaker Hard Disk Drive • 30 MB hard drive • Expansion option Floppy Disk Drives . 1 - 5 1/4" (360K) drive :t4onitor 14" Monochrome monitor • 1 - 5 1/4" (360K) drive • 1- 3 1/2" (720K) drive Keyboard • One hundred and one sculpted keys • Ten programmable function keys • Low profile, adjustable legs • European versions available Monitor • 14" EGA colour monitor supported by EGA _graphics Price: $1995 0 Keyboard ' • One hundred and one sculpted-keys • Ten programmable function ~eys • Low profile, adjustable legs :~-.-· • European versions availabl~·, ._ 'l,.

J .,,: , �----- Young Guns Young Guns, Emilio Estevez, Kiefer Sutherland, Charlie Sheen. and Lou Diamond Phllllps, young kids hired to protect an Engllshman's ranch against the mob. Above the Law by P. Saradhi Puttagunta Just when you thought it was safe to go back to the cinema, Hollywood blows you away with another mindless cop flick. Steven Seagal plays the lead in this film and also wrote the script for it. The one thing you notice about this film when you're walking away from it (or out on it) is that it has all the cliches. Naturally the central character is a Vietnam veteran. As any normal vet would, he makes up his own rules and takes on his superiors. As part of the natural act in any cop movie, this film by Terrance Corry This is not just another cowboy movie where men are men and the cattle are nervous. The movie takes a detailed look into the start of Billy the Kid's career. As the plot unwinds, the actual truth behind the legend of William H. Bonney is revealed. Billy's early exploits were found to be a composite of the actions of a group of men called the 'Regulators' of which he was a member. The Regulators was formed by a English merchant to protect him and his business from a rival company. When the competition kills the boss of the· Regulators, the Regulators look to the law for justice. With a corrupt sheriff, judge and governor; things take a turn for the worst for the Regulators.

The amazing thing about this movie is that it is based _on the actual people and not on the highly inaccurate newspaper stories of the time where most of the cowboy legends came from. The main difference in the movie is that the eleven original members were cut down to six main characters. Althought the sets and costumes were typical of the times, the producers seem to forget that life of a ranch hand tended to be hot and dirty. Since this fact was not reflected in their clothes (all the .1,500 costumes were freshly pressed), there must have been a miracle product available then that is not available now. special effects go back to the old movie times when little trick photography was used. The only difference between this picture and the old westerns is that stuntmen are used through out the movie. This is not to say that the actors did not do thier dwn stunts because they did. Because most of the actor had no riding skills before this picture, they went on a eight week crash course on riding and the tricks therein. As to the cast, a lot of new, young actors were introduced to major roles. It seems that Holywood is finding that unknown actors have more appeal to audiences. Girls seem to be enjoying this change as the theatre is filled with giggling teenagers. On t}:le whole, Young Guns is one of the better westerns to come out in a long time and is worth seeing.a and ammo to finance the CIA's wars in Central America. To make things worse, the ruthless torturers that Toscani encountered in Vietnam are involved here. One major problem that "Above the Law" suffers from a number of technical faults. Fifteen years pass b~tween Toscani' s tour of Vietnam and his ne.xt scene in present day Chicago. Yet l:ie' s still a young man just starting his family. Among other faults, the CIA is seen going after Toscani; yet if the script writers did their research they would have known that the agency no longer operates within the United States. When these trained hit men shoot at our hero they're not even holding their rifles properly. , The camera work leaves a lot to be questioned. It's hard to tell whether they meant for the scenes to be grainy or if it was just poor workmanship. This film isn't pathetic; but it isn't all that great ,either. A sequel is apparently in the works and hopefully Mr. Seagal can improve on his film making abilities. Until then, this one gets a 6 out of 10. a The movie's stunts and From the Book of Failures Duncan Weller After reading just a few of the following failure stories from THE INCOMPLETE BOOK OF FAILURES by Stephen Pile, some of our own local failure stories come to mind. The time when thieves in town tried to open a safe with dynamite and all they had left were little bits of burnt paper. The thieves who took ten hours to open a safe. They found $2.75. The safe was not locked. The combination was taped above the safe door. Yes, we all have our bad days, but some of us have golden bad days. It's times like these that remind us how unfortunately human we all are. THE WORST MAYOR Fro~ our point of view the most important mayor ever to hold office was Senor Jose Ramon.Del Cuet. . In Ju,ne 1978 he resigned as Mayor of Coacaloco in Mexico, feeling that his record in office ·was poor. This selfless decision was reached with the help of 4,000 local voters who stormed the town hall, seized the mayor and forced him to eat 12 lb. of bananas before signing his resignation. ...... THE.WORST.HIJACKER .. We shall never know the identity of the man who in 1976 made the most unsuccessful hijack attempt ever. On a flight across America, he rose from his seat, drew a gun and took the stewardess hostage. "Take me to Detroit," he said. "We're already going to Detroit," she replied. "Oh ... good," he said, and sat down again. THE LEAST SUCCESSFUL. MUGGING In 1978 Sussex police launched a hunt for a "sixfoot, dark-haired youth of about 20" who failed to mug a five-foot, 74-year-old grandmother. The youth sprang upon Mrs Ethel West while she was walking through Chichester Cathedral cloisters. The result should have been a · foregone conclusion. Surpris• ingly, however, when Mrs West grabbed the mugger's wrist, he cried, "Oh God! Oh no! Stop!" Encouraged by these pleas, she put him in an arm lock at which the mugger cried, "Oh no, oh Christ!" and ran away. "If I hadn't been carrying my shopping, I would really have put him on his back," said Mrs West who took a course in judo when younger. "Before my husband died I ( used to practice throwing him at Christmas," she explained. THE_WOR§~ GETAWAY . l Admirers claim the world's worst getaway was executed at Deb'9it in 1970 by two bank robberiwho rushed out into the street to find that their getaway car had been stolen. • •• (continued on page 15) • I ' ' .. �Enrollment '88 by Nancy Adderley Early registration statisti~s report an overall increase of 4 to 5 percent in full time student enrolment. Registrar Pentii Paularinne said that as of September 13, 3,5000 students had registered at Lakehead University. This number compares favourably to the 3,300 students overall who registered last year. As these statistics are not yet final, an overall number is not yet available. First year student enrolment has so far experienced an increase of 31 percent, up from 1,150 last year to 1,530 students this year said Paularinne. Enrolment for first year students in professional schools is up. Arts programs showed a 47 percent increase over last year. Sciences have not yet met their capacity with an increase of 25 percent. L.U.'s flagship program, Forestry, has first year enrolment figures that are close to double in both degree and diploma programs. There are 33 students in Forestry Technology as compared with 19 last year. Fifty students are enroled in the degree program, an increase of 50 percent over last year. The showing in Forestry is remarkable, considering that the few job opportunities available in the field had students shying away from the program in recent years. The trend in recent years has been towards steadily decreasing enrolment. The last two years have seen a modest decrease, with a 1.4 percent decrease in enrolment last year and a 6.0 percent decrease from previous enrolment the year before. On a general scale, L.U. compares favourably to other Ontario universities in experiencing the highest -increase in both applications from and acceptances by high school students. The acceptance increase was noticeable two weeks after the second Friday in June. This is the date when the university sent out its notice of application acceptance. To accommodate this increase, one hundred additional spaces were created in the one year Bachelor of Education program. The Department of Psychology added a third section to its program. Additional staff has also been added as the President of Administration, Dr. Rosehart, has set aside additional funds for teacher's assistants, markers and professors. - Problems in housing and text book shortages have been noted and efforts made to deal with them. An off-campus housing list exists at the Residence Office for students needing help in finding a place to stay. More text books have been ordered for classes that are short al).d should be arriving from the publishers in the next few weeks. Said Paularinne, "The Faculty recognizes that there are problems and will work to adjust to them." A pattern exists with smaller universities in that the largest increases in applicants have been to smaller institutions. Laurier, Brock, Laurentian and Trent have all experienced increases, with L.U. leading the lot. Paularinne attributes the increased applications to smaller universities to the unique educational opportunities provided by location and size. The Ministry of Colleges and Universities has provided Ontario universities with an access grant to deal with the increased enrolment. The $199,000 grant to L.U. has gone to cover the cost of the education portables and the renovations made to Cornwall School as the new Fine Arts facility. It's too early to say what Lynn McLeod, Minister of Colleges and Universities, will do for Lakehead now that the university has increased its enrolmentthis much but Paularinne is confidant that "the Minister will recognize the University in her own backyard." • Thunder Bay Gymnastics Association Requires part-time recreational coaches .Hours Available Days and Evenings .Great Working Atmosphere -Great For Resumes -Will Train And Certify Call Us At 623-5548 before 5:00 p.m. SeP.tember 20 or Drop By and See Usl ~ Located at: Ontario Building CLE Grounds COUNSELLING SERVICES SEMINARS FALL SESSION Register For The Session That You Would Like To Attend !3y Contacting The Career And Councelling Centre Room UC1002 Telephone: 343-8018 Study Skills Sessions Monday, September 19/88 7:00-8:30pm BB1021 "Time Management" Thursday, September 22/88 7:00-8:30pm BB1021 "Effective Notetaking and Listening" Monday, September 26/88 7:00-8:30pm BB1021 "Reading Efficiently & Summarizing Textbooks" Thursday, September 29/88 7:00-8:30pm BB1021 "How To Research & Write a Term Paper" Monday, October 3/88 7:00-8:30pm BB 1021 "Memory & Learning" Thursday, October 6/88 7:00-8:30pm BB 1021 "Exam Preparation" Tuesday, October 11/88 7:00-8:30pm BB 1021 "How To Prepare & Give Seminars" CORNER POCKET STC'.R.'E'I!A!R IJU S'E'R'VlC'ES • PERSOS'AL&-B'USINW i.};tiERS •REPOR~,!lESUMESPHOTOCOPIES •RATESN2AiOTIABLE 434 E.

When, at first, they demanded 5,000 pounds, the head cashier laughed at them, convinced it was a practical joke. Then one of the men jumped over the counter and fell awkwardly on the floor,. clutching at his ankle. The other two made their getaway, but got trapped in the revolving doors for a second time, desperately pushing the wrong way. THE LEAST SUCCESSFUL BANK ROBBER EASIEST CRIME TO DETECT Failures from page 13 THE WORST.JURY................ . pornographic bookseller was A murder trial at Manitoba in February 1978 was well advanced, when one juror revealed that he was completely deaf and did not have the remotest clue what was happening. The judge, Mr Justice Solomon, asked him if he had heard any evidence at all and, when there was no reply, dismissed him. The excitement which this caused was only equaUed when a second juror revealed that he spoke not a word of English. A fluent French speaker, he exhibited great surprise when told, after two days, that he was hearing a murder trial. The trial was abandoned when a third juror said that he suffered from both conditions, being simultaneously unversed in the English language and nearly as deaf as the first juror. The judge ordered a retrial. Not wishing to attract attention to himself, a bank robber in 1969 at Portland, Oregon, wrote all his instructions on a piece of paper rather than shout. "This is a hold-up and I've got a gun," he wrote and then held the paper up for the cashier to read.

This group of two brothers, Dick (bass) and Dave Pruitt (guitar) play along side drummer Pat O'Connor produce a rapport that adds to the bands high performance. Since 1985, when the group lost a member and changed to a threesome. The players decided to restructure their sets and add some danceable material into their extensive repertoire of classical blues. An extensive touring schedule allows them to develop a larger audience since they have little airplay. It seems that they have even played the Blue Note in Toronto and other major location all over the United States, the majority being in Texas. They have played beside such band as The Band, Canned Heat and Willie Dixon in their extensive travels of the american highways. It should be note that they did produce a record in 1984 called Need Me A Car under the label of Blind Pig Records. A number of guest performers, Earl Cate and Henry Clay, have toured with them. Also worth noting is that the Bel Airs are will to play with local talent in for a few numbers. This only enlarges upon the fact that they have a large repertoire. Years of hard work have been put in by the Bel Airs to establishing their authenticity. The sets used by the band show this concern· of the Blues art and a honest appreciation of the blues traditions. The main feature of the band is the brothers' abilities to compliment each others skills. All this should lead to a highly satisfying show.a The Blues are back! I j Engineeri~ Opportuni •.......

Joining competitive or recreational clubs may appeal to you. In the past L.U. has featured such clubs as diving, swimming, rugby, soccer, skiing,running, and martial arts. L.U. athletics moves into a period of transition · this season. Nor'Wester varsity teams will be competing in the OUAA Conference as opposed to the GPAC league of former years. Not only are varsity teams undergoing changes, but also the staff composition at the Sanders Fieldhouse. Last year's Director of Athletics, ·Ken Coffin, has left L.U. to accept a position in Southern Ontario. Filling this void is Dr. Norm Lavoie, who will assume the role of the Director of the School of Physical Education and Athletics. Other newcomers include by Janet Fuchek Welcome back! After a summer of ieisurely pursuits, it's time to become accustomed to the routine of school life once again. For some L. U. students this means balancing a rigorous schedule of varsity practices and games throughout the 1988-1989 season. Tryouts for Nor'Wester teams (men's and women's basketball, women's volleyball, and men's wrestling) are already underway. Others opt to engage in sports on a more recreational basis. Intramural sports satisfies this interest. The program at L.U. is designed to provide opportunities for students and staff to participate in competitive and non-competitive, organized and informal sports activities. The primary aim is "to have an activity for every student and every student in an activity." During the fall term hockey, touch football, soccer, volleyball, and curling are offered. Aerobics, slow pitch, and a golf tourney are also on the line-up. Make a visit to the Intramural Office; located in the University Center near the Security Office to take advantage of this opportunity for fun and fitness. Claude Lapre as women's volleyball coach, replacing K.D. Livingstone, and Clyde Tuyl as athletic co-ordinator. Several local athletes are caught up in the excitement of the 1988 Summer Olympics. These elite few have been chosen to represent Canada in Seoul. Decathlete Mike Smith of Kenora, disabled competitor Terry Robinson of Dryden, and cyclists Curt Harnett and Scott Timmerman are among those attending the Games. Judoists Sandra Greaves and Kevin Doherty will also be venturing to Korea as competitors. Thunder Bay cyclist Curt Harnett will once again represent Canada at the Summer Olympics. He's gearing up for the sprints and his favourite event, the one kilometre race. Hamett, represeri. ting Team Lycra, claimed a number of stunning performances on the Grand Prix circuit this past summer. He earned a silver in· the kilo time trial at the Los Angeles Olympics in '84. Harnett scored a gold in the one km and a bronze in the sprints at the Pan-Am Games in Indianapolis in '87. Scott timmerman of Thunder Bay will also compete at the Olympics in the 100 km team trial. The Canadian track pursuit cycling team suffered disappointing news, The Canadian Olympic Association ruled that the four-man team would not be allowed to compete in the 1988 Summer Olympics. This decision was based on the team's inability to achieve the 4:25 COA standard by a mere 1.7 seconds! Former L. U. wrestler, Harry Curtis, was supposed to accompany the cyclists as their coach. He figures that the team actually attained the standard, considering the conversion factor between different tracks. Curtis remains steadfast that this group could have finished within the top ten in a field of 26 teams. In the world of boxing, world heavyweight champion Mike Tyson was forced to postpone his fight against Frank Bruno on October 22 in London. Tyson incurred injuries in his recent car accident and is expected to remain out of commission for one to two months. Sugar Ray Leonard has given new meaning to the phrase "coming out of retirement." After announcing his intention several times throughout his career to retire from boxing, Leonard is back in action. He is presently undertaking a new venture - a seven-city tour promoting his November 7 fight at Caesar's Palace in Las V~gas. His opponent is World Boxing Council lightheavyweight champion Donny Lalonde of Winnipeg, the 4-1 underdog. Speaking of retirement, Canadian ski jumper Horst Bulau had announced his plan to retire from the sport. •Instead, Bulau intends to act as apprentice coach. His career highlights included a seventh place finish in the 90 m at the Calgary Olympics, a second spot in World Cup standings one season and two thirds. Wayne Gretzky continued to make headlines this past summer. Not only did his recent marriage to actress Janet Jones attract attention, but the trade of the Edmonton Oiler star to the Los Ange Ies Kings mushroomed into an item of controversy, especially amongst fans. , The 1988-1989 season should prove to be a memorable episode in the history of LU athletj.cs.

Dr. LaVoie was chosen for his 17 years experience at Lakehead University and his outstanding credentials rroving beyond a shadow o a doubt that he is capable of handling the newly developed position. The position originated directly from results of a committee set up by Dr. Rosehart to independently study the Department of Athletics and the School of Physical Education. The Committee concluded that these two separate areas should be united, arguing that better or•ganization and more efficient co-ordination of the various programmes would occur. The amalgamation occurred and Dr.LaVoie took office on · July 3rd of this year. Prior to this posting Dr. LaVoie· had joined the L.U. staff as a professor in 1972 in the Physical Education Department. By 1978 he had been appointed the director of the school of Physical Education settling here until 1982 when he took office as th~ co-or- Dr. Norm Lavole 1 j '"'- -............. -...... _.._. - -- ~ .... - - .. -- r - _.., r r .. - -. - 1--r..,. - • ~~ . -- - -- - - ---------- dina tor of the Sports letes from isolated areas into competition in major centres.

W.A. Williams fn his essay "American IntetvenUon in Russia" writes that when a communist government was first established fn Soviet Russia in 1917 the wealthy of the world were alarmed because the idea of a society where the .resources and labour nught be used for the benefit of all was repugnant to them. Fourteen capitalist nations, including Canada, sent their armies into Russia to crush the government.

For Sean Caljouw, however, getting around LU seated in an electrtc wheelchair is more difficult than one might expect. "The University ts fairly accessible.and has become better gradually. but is still not up there", he said as we talked in the hallway by the Agora. I had suggested meeting in the cafeteria where we could .. do lunch", but Caljouw explained it wasn't such a great idea. "It's degrading, havingto be waited on to use the elevators, then travel through the kitchen to get to the caf." He stressed that he didn't want sympathy for hJmself. but accessibility for the Disabled Student's Action Committee (DSAC) as a whole throughout the University. DSAC is meant to serve all disabilities on campus. including the visually and hear.Ing Impaired..Sean cites a sense of helplessness as the reason why disabled students are reluctant to attend meetings. "We need a voice and some power to get our point across," Caljouw expressed. concerned for the lack of interest presently among the student body. Caljouw pointed to the excellent transit semce for the disabled as a draw for disabled students at LU. He also joked about previous committees at LU which were almost fervently activistin their demands. "Yeah. alot of people stopped coming to meetings when they thought speaking out would get them in ·trouble." Caljouw explained that a cMl relationship with LUSU is the key to gettmg anything done With respect to student semces. Accessibility is also important in the event of fire. Caljouw suggests some kind of contingency plan for the safety of disabled persons, especially on the second floor of the University.

''GIMME SHELTER'' (AND A FLEA BATH) by Susan E. Kemp AtouroftheThunderBay Animal Shelter can be both a heartwarming and depressing experience. The cages are filled to capacity with pets in need of homes. The Shelter's manager. Bob Katajamaki. says it ts often hard for his staff not to get attached to the animals, but they have to keep a perspective on thing$ and realize they are doing a job. AcommonmiSconceptlon about the Animal Shelter is that it is just a place where stray animals are taken to be put down. However, it offers many valuable services, both for the animals and pet owners. The staff attempts to find the owners of the stray animals that are brought in, but if they are not successful the animals are either put up for adoption or put down. The Shelter also nms a pet visitation program in which some animals are taken out to visit places in the community such as homes for the elderly and the L.P.H .. where pets are generally not permitted. If the staff are not initially successful i_n finding the owners ofthe stray, the Shelter is required to keep the animals for "3 working days, less Sundays and holidays." At this time the animal 1s put up for adoption or euthanized. There is a screening process for people who want to adopt a pet so that the staff can ensure the animal will go to a good home. A cat can be adopted for $32.00 and will be given its first set of shots and deworming by the Shelter. A dog costs $46.00, with the same services included. Katajamaki said the Shelter gets approxtmately 1500 cats and 1500 dogs each year. as well as rabbits and other small animals. Out oft he cats that are brought in, two-thirds are put down and one-third find homes. The opposite iS true for dogs. One-third are put to sleep and two-thirds are adopted out. In addition, The Animal Shelter is a wealth of information on anything from house-training rabbits lo dog grooming and nutrition. This information is free and can be very valuable to pet owners as well as those interested in adopting a pet. Each year Canadians trash one old tire for eveiyman, woman and child. That's 26 million doughnutshaped lumps of rubber. North Americans tossed away 60 billton pounds of scrap plasttc last year. Stockpiling ofold tires has led to such disasters as the fire in February 1990 at a Hagersv1lle. Ontarto, dump in which an estlmated 14 million used tires burned for 17 days. ! C.V.L. Products, located about 30 miles from Hagersville, spent almost $1 million researching its recycling process. Photo by C.P, Walsh: disabled students' needs. but it can't lobby Campus Development or LUSU to make the fire doors easter to open. Caljouw suggests one door at the main entrance be specially equipped to open automatically. This . would be especially helpful in the winter. He pointed out that Confederation College and some government buildings in town have as- ststed openers. With the increase of student population, Caljouw feels that now is the time for corrections to the accessibility here at Lakehead. Not only will it serve the students as well as any disabled faculty or visitors, but will more than likely attract favourable attention for prospective students who are also in need of the service. @ 14 PRESERVED ANATOMICAL PARTS~ · .

These are the facts that should have destroyed the false perceptions of AIDS that persist even at an inStitutlon of higher learning like Lakehead University.

Feminism is a very touchy subject mainly because it is so difficult for 'femtntsts· to agree on one definition. This editortal ts not meantto be preachy or even to sway anyone on what they should or should not agree with. It ts simply an explanation of why I am among a growing number of women who refuse to call themselves a feminist. TheLtberalFem.1nistsplacetheemphas1softheirmovement on the premise that "women's oppression results from women's lack of equal civil rights and equal educational opportunities" (Feminist Frameworks, 1984}. Therefore the liberal's main focus is on the changing of current laws and-practices in our society, so as fo gtve women the same opportunities that have for centuries been freely given to men. Tilis does not mean that the llberal feminist is intent on destroying our current social structure and political hierarchy system. In addition, this viewpoint leaves little room (though more than the radical one) for religious, and cultural beliefs. The Radical (and unfortunately the most vocal) Femln1sts believe that women have been suppressed and subordinated because of their biological differences and that In order to be rid of this suppression a biological revolution must take place. This biological revolution would not only encourage and propagatetheideaofbottlefeedingbabies(asopposedtobreastfeeding) but also lead to extrauterine reproduction (the gestation < babies 1n an incubator rather that the womb). The end resu wanted by radicals is the total desexing of women an men.(Feminist Frameworks, 1984) It is the radical viewpoint that is the major reason that man women (including mysel0 refuse to be associated with fem nism. We see nothing wrong with having bables the ol fashioned way. True, in the past many men in many cultures have use childbirth and childrearing as an excuse to 'keep women t their place,· but there is a growing (admittedly at a slow pact number of men in our society who no longer subscribe to thl View. In addi Uon the radical feminists are .taking away th freedom to choose between family and a career by making clear that any woman who chooses to raise her children ins tea of taking employment outside the home is somehow less of human bein~ than them. . True. it is these radicals who are the driving force beh1n many anti-Violence and anti-porn campaigns. But they als scare many concerned individuals who are also against wiJ abuse. pornography and general violence against women awa from the rallies they organize and the programs they set up The result of all this is that recent years have seen th A JIONAL SAMPLE THE NI"'\ 1 by Andy Philpotts.

And rollicking it certainly wast This two-and-a-half hour playbyOliverGoldsmithkept the audience laughing with its witty dialogue and mtricate plot. I thoroughly eqjoyed it, and try as I might. I can't really find anything to criticize about the production. Although Goldsmith wrote .. She Stoops to Conquer" back In 1733, the play's appeal seems to be timeless. The plot reminded me a great deal of that of a Shakespeare comedy in which there are disguises. and innocent nusconceptions. The plot was mtricate and is ratherdifflcult to explain. but you will understand what I mean if you go to see it. Basically, it centres around Marlow, a young man too shy to speak to Miss Kate Hardcastle, the girl he has come to court. The confusion begins when Marlow is deceived by Kate's roguish brother into believing the house he fs vtslting fs really and inn. and Kate and her father a barmaid and an innkeeper. There is also a subplot interwoven with the main one, in which Kate's mother attempts to stop another pair of lovers from eloping. The result is a hilarious farce built on mistaken identities and outright confusion. Toe cast was made up of 12 people, probably the biggest production I have seen done at Magnus. One would think with such a large cast there would be some weaker actors. but I felt they were all equally strong in their respective roles. Particularlystrong were Vickie Papavs as the hJgh-spirited Kate. and David Marr as the awkward but loveable Marlow. Heather Edson was also hilarious as the vain and over-dramatic Mrs Hardcastle. Toe set was simple yet effective. consisting of a simple backdrop and several props which were changed to. suit each scene. The costumes were beautiful and added greatly In creating the eighteenth century atmosphere. All in all. it was a thoroughly entertaining evening, and I would recommend "She Stoops to Conquer.. to everyone. One might think that a period piece such as thfswouldhave lost its appeal in our day and age, but I think eve:ryone can enjoy a comedy about love and deception. Toe themes of Goldsmith's play are timeless, so make sure you get out and see it! "She Stoops to Conquer.. runs until October 19th at Magnus Theatre. Toe Box Office can be reached at 6231321.

On Tuesday night. the band Celtic Blue played to an enthusiastic crowd of individuals in the Lakehead University Student Centre.

The crowd wanted more, more beer. more noise, more exhilaration. more excitement, more anything, instead the band paused. Whether because of the alcohol. the bus ride. or the relatively small crowd, the band almost gave up their ghost. Toe songs suddenly became two minutes long and the breath taking pause between them twice that length. Toe appeal of celtic mus,tc is it's universality. Both our parents and ourselves can appreciate the traditional material that celtlc bands (especially this one play.

On tuesday night, Celtic Blue's pants fell down. and fortunately, for them, the audience was to drunk to notice. SHAKIN' a cover of ..Summer Time Blues" (on a freezing night), they proceeded to rip through such trademark songs as "Lets Shake". "Infected". and "Beer Drinkin' Party". There was lots of drinking. dancing, and plain fun. which are the motivational factors behind Til's music. To say their performance was classic would only act to age the band. It would not surprise me to see the band enjoy a renewed success that fslong overdue.

BODY PIERCING: Warning not for the squeamish! edited by Faisal Ali From the Link in .M ontreal obvious spots, some people - Ears, lips, tongue, nipples and now even the genitals. Everything's getting pierced. But it wasn't ,,always in North America. There was a time when only women pierced each ear-once. Today. rtngscan be found on every body part _tmae:tnable, Besides the also pierce their eyebrows, necks. backs and navels. Living colour tattoo Studio in Thunder Bay stopped domgbody-pierctng a few months ago--now it can't be done in Thunder Bay. A spokesman from Llving Colour said that "it gave me the willies--it was usually associated with S and M. and I just stopped." Customers included dancerswhowanted novelty bells on their genitals, to men who liked the bottoms of their feet pierced, backs, and buttocks, as well as their nipples. Customers would supply their own rtngs, but he would do the actual piercing. Roughly only 40 people had used the service 1n the past few years. Only a handful of places venture beyond the earlobe. One of them is Cuir Plus, a shop in Montreal. Bob, a Cuir Plus worker says he pierces the "whole spectrum" on males: nipples, foreskin, testicles-you name it. Some places won't do piercing on female nipples because of the .. risk of cancer." but health professionals say it's impoSSible to get cancer from piercing--an infection iS the worst thing that can happen. There ar:e- other myths - ab out body piercing-piercing your nose in the wrong spot, for instance. doesn't cause blindness. But most pierctnµ, in North America is not inspired b culture or religion. Bob at Cuir Plus th inks its largely a cosmetic choice. ..A chest with a good tan looks nice with something sparkling. It's as simple as that." Or maybe not. Breakfast is the legal name of a 21year old Torontonian who wears a small ring through his peniS. For him, it ·was a sado-masochistic experience. "I did it for discipline. It's the idea of cancelling out pain." Breakfast froze the inside of his pents by inserting a Q-tip dipped in novocaine, a chemical dentists use when they pluck teeth. "The piercing itselfdid not hurt." he says." But for a few months afterward, urinating was immensely painful. There was defulitely blood miX.ed in with the urine." Breakfast never removes the small ring because 1t hurts too much to take out. Men can choose from more vaneties of genital piercin~ than women. Breakfast .knows at least nine ways for men to do it, but understandably-only J:wo or ~omen. Male options range from foreskin piercing using a ring or hoop, to ampallang (bars that go horizontally through the head of the penis). to dydoe piercing, studs that sit on the r:iIIl of the head of the penis. Women can choose between piercin,g the labia. or piercing the clitoris. Marc, a 26 year old student at the University of Quebec finds body-piercing appealing. He had his left nipple pierced this spring. A friend used a knitting needle to slowly poke a hole through the ntpple. • "It was really fleshy," he says, "So it took about half an hour to push the needle through." Unlike earlobes and nostrils. which_aremade of cartilage, nipples are made of pigmented skin tissue. Marc says he didn't bleed much. "But for a few days, it felt Uke someone had punched me in the chest. " Why the knitting needle? "Twanted to see how much pain I could endure. ~ Bob marks the area with a pencil so the hole will be straight. Then he a pplies ice t o desensitize the nipple. and uses a clamp to hold it in place. The rest is easy. He matches up the marks With a needle, and puts the ring through. Breakfast. believes that body-piercing will only get really popular if S and M ever does. �I 'lbeArgus Page 9 October 10. 1991 SPORTS l Women's Rugby Team Captures First Ever ':"7in byK.

The plan at the present time is to broadcast campus news, events, and feature items of interest to students. The programmes would he televised from the University studio, to be shown in monitors that will be set up in the Student Lounge. In discussing the proposed project with Pat \Vesley, psychology lecturer and at present one of the main actors on the closed network, mention was made of the only other campus in Canada using television facilities for non-educa• tional purposes, Scarborough College. Mr. Wesley said that the difference between their _programmes and the ones which will be run here is not so much in the material used but in the fact that the Administration runs their show. Here the entire production will be in the hands of students. of communication." "Besides it will be a good, interesting· experi· ence for students.

Mr. Wesley gained experience in television pra. duction in Manchester, where he was being trained to produce a "university of the air" series. The series never materialized. But he says that he has learned more here through practical experience than he learned in the training he got in England. "It seems to me that this is one of the things that should be done, because the facilities are here," he said, in reflecting on the idea of the student closed network. communication the essence "There has been a lot of talk about television jn the university, and this is one aspect of it. Communication is the essence of any media. Let's see how many groups we can get commu• nicatin~ thr:ough this media." "We re not replacing anything." he added.

He returned to Canada in August, and is 11resently with the National Ballet Company.) The Civil War in China is a myth. While I was in China, I saw no evidence of that kind of widespread conflict. The views that you in the west get of acµvities in China from western press is distorted beyond recognition. While in China, I had several clippings sent to me from friends in the west. We all had a good laugh. RED GUARDS PRO-MAO The papers talked about pro-Mao and anti· Mao factions in the ranks of the Red Guards. There are no anti-Mao factions. The con· flicts were simply over procedure to be followed in the cultural revolution. Another misconception was that works of art had been destroyed. I saw no case where this occurred. In the early days of the cultural revolution when the fervor was high, some Red Guards entered the summer palace apd painted over some gaudy, cheap decorations from-the Ching dynasty. They used white paint that was easily removed, and no permanent damage was done. Most of my students were Red Guards. Schools have been closed for the last year, allowing students to travel around their , country. This has been found to be very educa· tional. It allows students to get a first-hand look at their country, its needs, and its potential, and to take an active part in solving its problems. The students also work in fields for two weeks during the harvest. This is another thing about which there is a good deal of misconception in the west. The field work is strictly volunteer. Only those in good physical condition are allowed to go. In fact, I saw students Vl;ho were judged physically unfit, crying. There is a great deal of enthusiasm among these young people for the cultural revolution as a whole.

Ukrainian Club In a meeting last Thursday, the members of the Lakehead University Ukrainian Club decided to put to the test the newly granted authority for students personally to present their case to the Senate. The issue is one which has been smouldering since last September, and concerns the cancellation of the language course Ukrainian 0a6. The courses have been successful for the last three years and the Club was surprised that Ukrainian 0a6 was left off the registration booklets in the fall. The Club, feeling that this was simply another registration error, tried to remedy the situation. A letter of inquiry as well as a seven page brief were submitted to the University Committee in October. It was the answer to this brief that was rejected as unsatisfactory by L.U.U.C.'s membership Thursday. The Educational Committee is now preparing further material on this Senate presentation. • L.U.U.C.'s "150 GALLONS OF GAS" draw is going into full swing. Tickets are being sold for 50 cents, the profits going to assist in sending delegates to the national convention of University Ukrainian Clubs, being held in Montreal in December.

The film itself, called "Political Dynamite,'' was a satire on politics today and was well worth while. Secondly, the Liberals on campus have already begun their campaign for the Model Parliament, to be held this year in Januacy. A Shadow cabinet has been formed. The members are Brian Springgay (P.M.), Fred Porter (Foreign Affairs), Bob Gregor (Northern Affairs), Bert Baumann (Canadian Affairs), Ron Kowalchuk (Labor Relations), Jeanett.e Gall \.(Secretary of State), Keith Gamich (Health and Welfare). Finally, three members from the University were sent to London, Ontario, to attend the Ontario Student Liberal convention h~ld there on November 24 and 25. The three members were Fred Porter, Ron Kowalchuk, and Paul Vetorazzo. Fred Porter chaired one of the seminars held on Saturday, that being on land acquisition and control. Other policy areas which were included are Regional Government, Municipal Party Politics, Transportation, a n d Housing. In all, it has been a very busy month for us.

In this issue Playboy has ~cided to play funny games with the female body - in various positions girls' bodies are painted up to resemble pollticai leaders like De Gaulle, Castro, Hitler, and Mao. Accompanying each picture Is •a little limmerlck. 'lbe magazine has played this sort of cute- game before; a year ago female bodies were dressed and painted to look like animals: for example, one girl, bent over, had a horse's tail stuck to her arse. . This Is obiJCene and perve~ not in the sexual sense, but in the human sense, for the purpose ls to reduce a fellow human being to the status of a mere object to be used in any fashion :whatever to satisfy one's pleasure. Such objectification Is of course the very basis of the Pl11yboy philosophy - when Hugh Hefner talks about sexual freedom what he really means ls the unfettered freedom of the male to use and exploit the totally submissive female. The Playboy ethic reduces all women to the position of commodl ties, bought and sold on the market ~ any other commodity. Bti"t Playboy is not the problem, merely one manifestation of it. For the objectification of the · female is a prevalent aspect of our entire social life. Often a girl ls not an individual human being, but a mere package containing a desired product: that precious hole between her legs. And the packaging has to conform to the demands of the market: the right hairdo, the right clothes, and the right opinions. Not that the girl ls only a piece of arse, far from it. She, depending on the situation, n.ay functlon .In ·a variety of roles. Like a toy, she can be played with to provide entertainment. Like a car, she can be a status symbol - if she conforms to the current definlUon of what status ls. Like Mount Everest, she can be conquered in the supreme proof of one's manhood. Or, like a soothing drug she cal"I be an escape from the troubles of the real •w orld - the world only men are concerned with. What unifies these various functions . of the female ls that she must be prepared to play the role - whatever rQle ls demanded of her. And these roles do not follow from her own personality, her own humanity as an Jndlvidual, but from the socially defined needs of the male. Thus when many 1 girls come into a new relationship they quickly learn what hairdo the boy likes to see them wear, what clothes, and what kind of a smile. And they learn to wipe their minds as a fresh blackboard on which the boy's opinions will be inscribed MATE .for the duration of the relationship. A new relationship, a new set of opinions. Thus it happens that most serious discussions of politics and society are carried on by males, while the females are relegated to the role of th~ audience. The occasional girl who challenges this state of affairs is considered a masculine bitch whose opinions are not to be taken seriously. On many levels of their .eslstence girls have to prostitute themselves, to sell themselves and their human beingness for a price. The price Is the security of being accepted by the male on the male's terms. The unfortunate bags on East Hastings who must peddle their body nightly for a few meager dollars are only the most blatant example of the Pl'C)ltltution of the female in our society. For after an, they too are looking for security - and money is the only security they know. They are the ones who couldn't sell themselves to any one particular male. Although some rebel, many girls accept this role of the object, for through numerous doctrines, rewards, and punishments society prepares them fc,r this very role. They are told, for example, that man's sexual role 14 aggressive while woman's is submissive, and that from this fact - which is presented as being an inherent characteristic of human nature-follows woman's inferior position In all other fields. Or that woman's natural concern is the home and perhaps llie arts, but that the important issues of society are the exclusive preserve of men. Good looks .are rewarded with attention from the males; being ignored is the pun~shment of being judged ugly. An ugly girl friend, you see, is much more embarrassing than any other ugly object or.f? may possess. But it must not be thought that girls are the only victims of this object-mentality. The males pay the price in the many hang-ups, sexual and otherwise, which result from this reduction of women , to objects. In a society which measures success by one's ability to acquire objects, tnen begin to doubt their own manhood, their own worlh as human beings if they have somehow failed to acquire all the necessary objects of success - and woman is the prize object. Thus the ideal man is a James Bond whose capability to acquire women is infinite. Thus if Pliyboy plays gross games with the female body, it ls no more obscene and perverse than the society which reduces women to the status of objects and roles. What Playboy does with its women is only what many humanly perverted individuals in this society would like to do themselves. And a society which regards as its very basis the acquiring of more and more objects to the point where this amassment of object-wealth becomes more important than human life and human dignity, such a society cannot help but produce humanly perverted and hung-up indl'riduals.

Therefore, you might call this the Christmas issue. And if it is, then there should be a Christmas message in it. This is supposed to be that message. Religiously speaking, Christmas is a day of significance. Perhaps it tends to ht; a dogmatic significance, but nevertheless significant. The Man was different. He was a humanist in a time of inhumanity. So this is significant too. There is only one catch. If what is. celebrated is so important to humanity, why is it possible to put together the montage on this page And why bother celebrating humanity's gain at all, when it means nothing humanistically to so many?

Sir: Have North Americans gone mad? Why do 240 million people sit back and allow their government to commit genocide in Vietnam? Can a new refrigerator and a higher standard of living he allow€d to cause the deaths of two million Vietnamese, the immolation of women and chldren, and a potential murderous attack on China (whose greatest crime seems to be a general success of its system of government)? How can over 20 million people sit at home, and watch a television report of the .murder of peasant farmers, the destruction of their homes, the torture and death of their wives and children in the name of democracy and freedom? Cannot a people who revolted against their rulers in the past, allow a few Vietnamese to attempt to better their lot without sending in the hugest, most destructive military machine of history to "help" them to choose "our way"? What does it take for North Americans to become sane? Must millions of Americans be killed and mutilated in the streets of Detroit and Toronto? Must we ourselves see death a n d destruction riding towards our children? In my mind at least the cost of our new mauve refrigerators, our "labour saving" gadgets, and our four meals a day is too high when it demands the lives of innocents 4,000 miles away. I cannot, like many of my fellow N o T t h Am~ricans, commit the crime of passive silence in the face of madness. Sincerely, P. O'Neill.

The ARGUS com· plains that its budget has been cut, yet fills a quarter page with naive, anarchronistic, unabridged propaganda ... free. First off, the Circle K Club is clearly unconstitutional in this university. . It limits its membership to the male sex. I wouldn't want to suggest that they're a bunch of fags, but one wonders what other fantasies they have in addition to the ones revealed in the article. Secondly, their quaint juxtaposition of ideas: "the clubs objects are to emphasize the advantages of the American and Canadian way of life . . . it gives primacy to the human and spiritual rather than the material values of life.'' Hypocri~y is no stranger to the university, but it shouldn't be encouraged. Ideas of that sort haven't been taken seriously ( by anyone who does his homework) for at least forty years. Finally, the club smells suspiciously like a timid approximation of those absurd institutions called fraternities which are quickly, and thankfully, disappearing from the university scene. Let the boys build their tree houses, and play with their Captain Marvel Secret Code Rings, but don't promote their myths as news. I suppose the university must humour even the misdirected, but shouldn't advertising be bought and paid for by Daddy Kiwanis: 9r maybe even H. L. Hunt? Sincerely, S. G. F. �December 7, '1967 THE ARGUS Page 5 Summer School Society recognized Don Colbome Back to the question: What is a universitJ? It ·is clear that what we call a university (good old L.U.) was not divined by The A.lmighty. On the contrary, it was just sort of shuffled in; and there are many who regret. being involved in such an unfortunate accident. Most writers have said that if there is anything basic and distinctive of all universities, it is that they all (a) have a location where (b) one group can learn from another group. Since there is so much variance, no one has chosen to generalize any further. Even these prereq:.iisites, however, can be easily demolished in light of where we are at now. Firstly, universities no longer need a location. People are mobile, and the communication media are becoming very sophis-ticated. Just as the necessity for residential universities has declined, so could the necessity for centralizing the 'plant." It is important .to the bureaucracy, not the learning process, that the university is now a clump of buildings which are locked up every night. It could just as easily be a large television studio where facts are canned, and broadcast to students in their homes. The students could then hop into subsidized cars and gather at subsidized pubs to discuss the data they have learned, and its relevance to what is happening. That idea mav be unlikelv, and I certainly do not subscribe to it, but the fact that it and ·a hundred other models are technically feasible, and educationally valid, points up that the university we have today does not necessarily make sense; it just happens to exist. The constitution of the Summer School Society was accepted by Council at its last meeting. However, theia: request for voting powers on Council was not passed. They now hold only a speaking position, the same as CUS, the ARGUS, a n d the Chief Justice. "Finally, after a lengthy delay, Summer School Society has been recognized as a body of the AMS," said President Richard Bozynski. "It is only unfortunate that this group of students does not seem important enough to warrant a vote on Council." "From this date on the Summer School .Society will be able to voice opinions of the summer students," he added. Tentative plans have already been laid for an orientation for the summer students, and activities throughout the summer are in the planning stage. One of the main projects undertaken by the Summer School Society executive is the preparation of a newsletter, to be sent to all those who have registered here for summer term. There will be about three of these s~nt out before the s~mer, .the ·first coming at Christmas. Of the 600 students taking courses last summer, the major portion were school teachers furthering . t he i -r education, and full time students taking concentrated progu.-ammes.

In the good old days when students were little more than literate farm hands, they had much to learn, and little to offer their omnicient professors. To.. day, the kid who has watched a lot of good television, and reads his paper every day (because he has had time for such "diversions") often knows much more about what is going on in the world than his professor, one who might be a narrow academic, blinded by his discipline. The incident concerning the Sociology Prof. here at Lakehead, who did not know what a Bar Mitxvah was until his students told him, is a prime example. · (So mebby hiss nut vun uff are pipple, but that he should know, ·arreddy.) I suppose the poor gentleman simply had not taken a course in Jewish Sociology and, being a good student, he had been careful not to learn anything that was not in his courses. Clearly, as Neil, Rodgers, Goodman, and many other writers point out, the teacher and student cannot be members of distinct groups. idea patching is insufficient Again, the old ideas are out of date. The university does not need a location, and it does not need separate groups; one of sycophants, and the other exercising an outrageous "in loco parentis." But these, we have been told, are the very fom1dations for previous thinking on what a university. is. Implied in the recent irrelevance of these basic ideas is that the entire superstructure of exams, credits, degrees, lectures, etc., etc., is probably hopelessly anarchronistic. Perhaps the most telling criticism of the "liberals," who are willing to see moderate and controlled change of the university, is that they want merely to patch the walls and ceiling, while the floor is crumbling into the cellar. Their attitude is thaL of the "enlightened" slaveholder who gave his "nigrahs" more food and comfort, but used th<!t as a rationale for defending the institution of slavery. The entire idea of what the university should be can now be re-evaluated, and should be, if it is to serve the needs of people who are going to live in a very revolutionary world.

T h o s e conditions would be that the mother's physical health would be gros~ly impaired; and I would suggest that it is ~p to a health medical board together with a social worker to decide when an abortion is necessary. I think there are many conditions, where the child would suffer because it is unwanted ( young teenage girls and mental deficient, who become pregnant). However I do not believe for >ne moment that an abortion should be left up to the individual alone. Where a child is going to be deformed, either mentally or physically, then abortion should be possible. Where pregnancy is the result of •rape, abortion should also be possible. To lessen the need for abortion, a wider possible dissemination or birth control knowledge should be instituted. There is the constant cry throughout North America. for Justice! (Often referred to, by various uninformed souls as "Lady Justice.") Surely it is a miscarriage of justice for the state to force a woman to bear an unwanted child. The argument has been presented that a mother-to--be is in no position, emotionally or biologically, to judge whether a child should be brought into this world. Nonsense! The same argument was used in the l 900's to deny females the vote. Women of the world unite! The matter should be decided by a plebiscite for all women of child bearing age, not by celibate priests, wizzened old spinsters, frustrated mothers past the menopause or anxious boyfriends. Clenn Leckie no personal decision Five of the six people interviewed were in favour of the liberalization of the abortion laws, with some stipulations; the opposition to liberalization being based on moral principles, as opposed to a realistic stand taken by the other five. If this scant sampling is any indication of current thinking trends, perhaps we can speculate and say that the days of the present abortion regulations are numbered. -Khalid Ali. __. prevention more valuable I am in favour of removing socio-economic barriers to abortions and liberalizing present abortion laws. Present Canadian laws on abortion reflect the general standard of our society. By that I mean hypocrisy seems. to be a generally accepted practice. Women, who are well endowed financially can, of course, obtain an abortion. Also many progressive medical institutions have the medical staff to perform abortions. These practices are of course illegal. What we need is a policy which would allow a pregnant woman, regardless of her social or economic background, to have a legal abortion if her physical or mental health were endangered. Further to that, if it is definitely determined that the unborn child is malformed, or conceived through ra_pe, an abortion should also be performed. The decision whether or not a woman should have an abortion should be decided by at least two medical doctors. What must be stressed above all is prevention. The "pill" should be made available to those who require and desire birth control. This would eliminate the need for numerous abortions. • The legalization of abortion, then, must be accompanied by the legalization and universal accessibility of con-4 traceptives. We allow back-alley abortionists to kill and prosper, while progressive medical institutions have their hands tied and live in fear whenever they perform an illegal abortion to save a woman's life. Dr. Diggins, M. D. strict control Bert Baumann Yes, I think abortion should be legalized. At present in Canada, Therapeutic Abortion Committees function in hospitals as consultative bodies in the interest of women whose lives are endangered by pregnancy. If those physicians come to the conclusion that abortion may be performed to preserve the life of the mother, the law is violated. Because of changing socioeconomic conditions and values, and an increasing influence of a political nature rather than influence of the churches as in the past, the abortion issue has become more of a. social one. In an American survey called the 1965 National Fertility Study done on "a representative sample" of 5,600 women, 91 % of U.S. wives declared themselves in favour of abortion under "certain circumstances." Britain, by bringing in sweeping reforms in the abortion laws, has- again taken a leadership r o I. e, instigating changes which, I believe, we, as in the past, will eventually incorporate into our legal code. Some decisions must be made in national interests, and I think legalized abortion is one of them. However, the decision then must remain with the individual's own moral code of conduct. Within the restrictions of the present law in Canada, there is essentially no decision the individual can make, except to continue with the pregnancy, whatever the costs. I believe that existing legislation dealing with abortion should be liberalized, to include cases of pregnancy following rape, and some serious socio-economic indications presently being decided in government. Overly liberalizing the legislation would promote promiscuity. Thus, definite legislation is required in order to keep this matter under strict medical control. Jean risher, B. Sc. N., R.

Many people have considered violence as a positive element not just a tactic in struggling for a new society. A recent report suggests that violence expressed through wars and war spending ls integral to the maintenance- of stability in American society. George Sorel. a revolution·ary French syndicalist praised violence by the working class. He believed that the ethic of the revolutiopary spirit would •bring about social change. This spirit was much more important than beautiful utop. fan pt"ctures •of a future socialist society in bringing the workers to action. He believed that the bourgeoisie was a cowardly class that would only cave In before the superlQr ethics of the working class denominator of society as expressed through their violence. ENSLAVED Frantz Fanon has argued that violence is 1be onl apy that will free the blacks of their colo tality.

Their leaders and councillors met often to discuss these difficulties, but progress was slow; and the people were troubled in their hearts. Then one day a gallant knight rode into the town, and set himself on high in the market-place, and began broadcasting in a terrible voice: "Lo, I am come to tell you of the cause of all your difficulties, and, though seeking no honour for myself, modestly offer mv services." A crowd gathered, and some of the councillors, too, listened, albeit surreptitiously. A fair and simple maiden, who appeared to be in her late forties, asked shyly: "And who might vou be, Sir Knight?" "I am called, though I know not why, the Nut Brown Knight. And I have travelled in many lands, and many things have been revealed to me, which are known unto few. I know of your difficulties; and I am come to tell you that they are caused by a certayne Fierce and Invisible Dragon, which worketh unseen amongst you." A Councillor stepped forward. "Sir Knight, we know of no Dragon. Our problems are more in the wav of unemployment, inflation, race tensions, fear of war . . . " With only a trace of irritation, the Knight rejoined: "This seerneth. And in spite of this vicious personal attack and criticism, I will go on." He went on. "In truth, as I said before, all your troubles are caused by the aforesaid Real and Present Dragon. Who if not he hath Suborn'd your Youth, sown Dissention amongst your \Vorkers, sicklied o'er with the Pink Cast of Thought your Intellectuals, and riled up your Coloured, who are as little Children?" The assembled began to look uneasily at each other, and to cough and shuffle their feet. At length one of them said: "Sir Knight, how may we protect ourselves from this, ah, Invisible Menance?" "Funny you should ask me that; for as it happens, I know. You must seek out one amongst you who is Wholly Pure, and pay him, say, 18,000 silver dinars a year, and send him to do Battle with this Dragon." The citizens and councillors looked glum. Not only because of the 18,000 silver dinars, but because each of them suspected that he himself was not Wholly Pure, and each knew full well none of the others was either. Finally one of the Citizens had a brilliant idea: "Sir Knight, well wot we (unconsciously falling into the idiom) to he ourselves all unworthy of the task. But it seemeth that perhaps thou . . . ? who did in fact first become aware of this Menace, and who seemeth seemlv and Pure?" "You say it so beautifully", said the Knight. "what can I say? I am deeply moved by your confidence in me. I shall labour a twelvemonth and a day, or more if need be . . . " "Hold on now just a dam minute," rudely interjected a Second Councillor. ''I'm not at all sure there even IS a dragon. Maybe we'd all just better get back to work, and try to solve bur problems as we did in the past . . ." Then Sir Knight waxed dread grievous pigued, and his ~yes Hashed, and his stomach rumbled, and he pro<;laimed: Be~old: the _very proof of what I say. Here is this Mangy Traitor, even m your very midst. Who but a Stooge and a Subversive would attempt to Discredit Me and my Cause? I ask you, did I promote myself? Was it not you yourselves who suggested, nay obliged, me to take up this Holy Cause? I ask you, in all Humility I ask it, could anyone who opposes Me be hut a Spy, ready to report our every plan to the Invisible Enemy?" "Nay!" roared the Councillors in a body, and rolling agendas • into clubs, drove the dissident Councillor from their midst. Which just goes to show that a Council Agenda is not entirely useless. Then the citizens lifted the Knight onto their shoulders, and bare him towards the Council Chambers where the Silver Dinars were kept, and one young man, who happened to have his gittern with him, composed on the spot a charming ballad in honour of the occasion : THE BALLAD OF THE NUT BROWN KNIGHT The Nut Brown Knight rode up one day, the Counsellors were woode wrothe; "Here's another vagrant come to sup From the meare Municipal broth." "O say not so.' said the Nut Brown Knight, As he quaffed a temperate flagon, "Wit you well, I've come, in my Harness Bright For to slay the Invisible Dragon.'' Then he buckled his buckler, to keep the blood Off his ·dacron--and-samite shirt, And it's off he goes to the jousting field, And the Dragon kisses the dirt. And who will gainsay that the joust was just? Or who will gainsay the Knight's fee? For sooth to say, the Invisible Dragon Never agayne we'll see. And the young children skipped along beside, and the old virgins gaily flaunted their petticoats, and the strong men proudly bore their champion along. the factory torn earth, red brick anthill of automatons that scurry and worry and run for fun he sure that it's done for monday we now have all the answers "Praises raise to Punch Card Gods" we are indeed in their image what fools were men to think there coulc I know and yet I cannot stop the pounding doubts inside my brain. the essential human being is not captured in an mound of punch card trifles. perhaps his relevancy still is a voice, a kiss, a scent of rose. �Page 10 December THE ARGUS 7, ·1967 spiders and things Within the concrete confines of a seminar room at Simon Fraser University, there dwelt a beautiful spider. He was an exceedingly handsome specimen-such a pretty shade of dull black. One day, as I was contemplating the intricacies of Philosophical Thought, my professor who occupied the chair immediately beside mine, said unto me: "Behold! There on the floor- a spider. I shall crush him into the linoleum!" Much taken aback, I said unto him: "Hold fast; harm him not. Do you not understand that this small spider is one of Nature's very Masterpieces Can you not realize that to destroy this creature would be to upset want .>nly Nature's delicate balance " I was great. It was my finest hour. Greatly humbled, my professor pondered my words of infinite wisdom. In a profound tone, he then said unto me some words which I never forgot. He said: "Horse manure!" For seven days and seven nights I thought upon his sage revelation. It was as a different person that I returned to that seminar room. When I succeeded in persuading the spider to emerge from his niche in the wall, I crushed him into the linoleum. -RICK BRYAN midnight girl I saw you blow your mind silver skinned lady of the inner cavern sactum full of family economy size extra value minds of cut glass mirrors for a public face.

Throughout the ages, ever since man became fascin• ated with the power of thP printed word, there have beer those who took joy in the possession of books. To obtain a rare volume, they have travelled thousands of .miles, to bid a king's ransom when the book of their choice came under the auctioneer's hammer. To understand their zeal and dedication, we must take a closer look at the history and mystique of books: With the invention of the printing press, our civilization entered an era of enlightenment: now that knowledge could be shared, the superstitions and myths of the Middle Ages were soon dispelled, and in their place there gre:w an awareness of the glories of the past. The writings of Greek and Roman scholars were translated into the vernacular; the words of the ancient philosophers could now be understood by an eager throng of young thinkers who applied them to their own time and circumstance. They read voraciously anything they could lay their hands on. Books were expensive, and any student who actually owned one counted himself most fortunate. The fiirst university libraries came into being, and those universities who boasted the most extensive libraries became the most prestigious ones, -for here one could gather the knowledge not only of the learned men who taught there, but also of the great minds of the past. Gradually the ownership of books came within the reach of the individual scholar. Publishing became a business, and some of the earliest of all publishing firms still exist until this day. Heavy, leather-bound volumes rolled off these early prnting presses: theiy were made to last, for the price of in hardcover every yearr, only to be superseded by a paperback edition immediately after. Thousands of copies of the hardcover editions remain unsold in the publishers' warehouses, and are disposed of for a fraction of their original selling price to laJTge discounthouses, which in turn offer them for sale at one-quarter to one-half of their original price, and often even less. Devoted bibliophiles, such as the writer, make it their business to know and patronize these discount-houses, taking advantage of their sales and special offers. There is a very great satisfaction in obtaining a book one has always wanted to own, brand new, at less than halfprice. I a.m betting that in a university community such as our own, there are many others who love books, and who would like to own the works published in their field of interest, rather than just borrow them for a week or so; who are interested in building up a personal library, not only of paperbacks, but with a core of quality hardcover books to provide lifetime reading pleasure. To these bibliophiles, these fellow-bookworms, I extend a most cordial invitation to visit the 13ookstore, to browse among the disdiscount-books on sale, to pore over the catalogues, and suggest other sale-books to be purchased for this very special department, for bibliophiles only. To those whose interests lie in other fields, this is not a sales-pitch. If you are not interested in books, the most tempting array of discounted volumes will not make a bookworm out of you. This is a promotion of the love for, and interest in good books, not an attempt to increase sales-volume. Booklovers are our raison detre, whether they spend much or little, and we invite their patronage and suggestions. • winter The sky is purple, • lake er1e manners • " .~., - ~ My arse is too Inside this bloody bus. ~ The broken men squat on docks of rotten pilings Spitting into the harbours murky depths Recalling the days of whitefish and bountiful herring Of drunken paydays Of sturdy fishtugs flogged by autumn gales Of rope-burned hands and storm-claimed nets.

The concert series will present four concerts by the widely - acclaimed Canadian Festival Quartet and a special concert by Canada's internationally - recognized soprano, Lois Marshall, accompanied by a chamber orchestra under the direction of Boris Brott. The Festival Quartet will open the series this Sunday. Lakehead University Music Director Boris Brott, in making the announcement today, said the title "Intimacy'' was an appropriate description of the concert series. "Intimacy is the natural name for an all-embracing evening of inti.mate participation "in music," he said. "Low lights, a soft arm chair and your very own quartet almost at arms length . . . what could be more inspiring!"

I think this was badly misunderstood in the west. There is very little bitterness towards other nationalities among the Chinese. They believe that 95 percent of the American people are basically good, but have been misguided and exploited by a corrui>!._ leadership. They are much more conscious of bourgeous versus proletariate divisions in humanity than of national ones. The standard of living in China is also much better than the western press po~ays it to be, at least with regard to basics. Mroicine is very modem, at least as far advanced as the west in many fields. And there is a hospital attached to every factory. The infant mortality rate is very low. No one has died of malnutrition for more than three years. SUPPORT HANOI GOVERNMENT The Chinese position on Vietnam is that they will send volunteers whenever they are asked for. Chou en Lai has said that if the Americans invade the northern part of Viet- cont'd from p. 1 nam, the Chinese will recognize no borders. In connection with the Vietnam issue, it is interesting to note that the Hanoi government .officially denied charges made by Moscow that China tampered with war materials being shipped to Vietnam. Tbe Sino-Soviet dispute is definitely serious. The Chinese regard revisionism as a more dangerous enemy than imperialism, because imperialists are open, out and out enemies, while the revisionists pose as revolutionaries. The Chinese feel that the Russians have betrayed the revolution. The Chinese are quite receptive toward Canadians. The first thing they asked me when they found out that I was Canadian was "Do you know Dr. Bethune?" He was a man loved throuJ?}iout China. The Chinese view of the Canooian economic position in the world is that we are an economic colony of the U.S.A., and as such are incapable of taking a meaningful position on international issues.

It seems that no matter what sort of article one reads these days there is always some measurement dealing with acceleration as some aspect of the article. The acceleration does not have to be stated. It is almost impossible to speak about changes in acceleration if the change which is taking place cannot be measured against the experience of the past. Hardly anyone today in any position in the hierarchy will take time to discuss the future with you unless he feels .it will improve his foresight. Just consider experience-its value and its limitations. EXPERIENCE A PREMIUM The value of experience is at a premium nowadays for a simple reason: there is less of it, all over North America. In Canada over one-half of the population is under 30 years of age while in the United States one-half of the population is under 27 years of age. In consideration of this fact, there are very few people who I know and I would bet that you know who have been through the 1st. World Wax. But I would say that many of us have heard our parents talk about the lean 30's. What a person learns over the years through experience gets impregnated into him; at best it enters the innermost parts of his being. It becomes part of his personality and he begins to know instinctively how to act and what to decide in circumstances with which he becomes familiar. Once someone developes inner convictions it takes a mighty force to change his ways. SOME ,CONFUSED BY OTHERS By contrast, those who depend on other people's experience f o r their convictions, on some political or economic problem in which they are not directly involved, may well find that their views are confused by the conflicting testimony of experts, or influenced hopefully for the better - by tomorrow's editorial. I would like to take this a bit further and say that most· young people here are influenced by what is said by teachers. This is due to the fact that we are so subjected to theoretical hypo,thesis that we tend to have ' unrealistic conceptions of what fs happening. At best we become sheep to individuals. It takes very little persuasion by polished orators to change people's minds. ST ABILITY FROM EXPERilENCE The inner convictions of an experienced man acting in_ his sphere of competence endows him with stability, and stability makes him reilable. People know where he stands. There are times when I feel few people know where they stand. And if they do, they do not commit themselves. Because a person knows where he stands he is able to think quickly and react to situations in an optimal way. He in fact can think back and feel back to i::imilar situations which endow him with the abilty to project forward. Consider yourself: there is at least some ti.me in your life when some things you have done in the past have influenced a future decision. VARIETY IMPORTENT The value of experience is not so valuable in its length as in its variety. In management, thirty years of experience does not count for much if it merely means ten times three of the same kind of experience. What makei,:; experience such an asset is the exposure to a variety of greatly differing situations. This is one reason why large enterprises move prom• ising people around; to various plants, offices or divisions, and often to different parts of far flung countries. So when you are employed by a firm do not consider your transfers a hinderance. Rather consider them an asset to your mobility and increasing spheire of experience. MUST BE CONCRETE YJ'hen one uses his experience he should be sure that the world around him is the same as the world from which he drew his experiences. Man on the moon, once the subject of Jules Verne, is now no longer a .matter of "whether," but a matter of "when." Products, techniques, methods of doing b u s i n e s s, communication, transportation all change at a rapid rate. Looking f r o m modem dormitories on our campuses to imposing lecture halls and laboratories, never forget that we young adults today are expected to assimilate in the span of a few years to a vastly expanded body of scientific knowledge. 1930's ADULTS DISAPPOINTING My reason for voicing this fact is my disappointment and frustration towards the "lean thirties" adults' attitudes, saying that all we do is leach and have a good ti.me. We must crowd and crowd our lives each year with more and more of the experience they give us, yet by their standards we are entitled to loosen up. Anything we do which does not conform to their conservatism is regarded as some: thing for criticism. One is re~inded that the School For Scandal had nothing on some exaggerations of our activities 1 e g e n d a r y by adults. It is our responsibility in the very near future to infuse organizations with new ideas and to adjust, improve and evolve approaches to a changing environment without losing the gain from beneficial things learned in the past. A scholar is not one who just has a brilliant future. Education is no longer a terminal process, it is a life long necessity. It is an neverending thing as business is well aware when it sends personnel to seminars or university management schools to maintain their capabilities not only up to contemporary needs but also hopefully to get into the van of events. you will gain more satisfaction in any particular preoccupation. Besides, you will develop within yourself a pattern which will more greatly enhance your experience and foresight, both necessary ingredients for a better future. IlNSIGHT THE LINK When talking about foresight, a connecting link is necessrury. That connecting link is insight. From experience insight may be gained and insight makes it possible to foresee, with varying degrees of certainty, the way the future will develop. Not everyone is able to look ahead and make accurate predictions of what will take place in the future. However one can develop foresight through experience and through training. Foresight depends upon understanding and people can be taught by experience or by education to understand things. For onP. to understand things it is sometimes useful after reading specific articles, not to act on these items but instead to let the material sift around within you. Usually elements of the article which you read will sort themselves into an orderly fashion and become .more meaningful. By bringing some thoughtout order into what you do, Simon says ....

The adoption of these resolutions on the part of Council makes them part of the policy of the AMS in general. Lakehead is perhaps the only post-secondary institution in this country capable of putting this particular resolution into effect immediately. This university is still young enough, small enough, and flexible enough to be able to act with a minimum of disruption within its own community. Even Lakehead does not have much time, for there are obvious signs that it too is slipping into the ever-deepening pit that Canadian universities have dug for themselves. President Tamblyn has left the door ajar with his comments on the "community of scholars". And with the adoption of this resolution the students have placed their foot in that door. Together perhaps we coul4 see Lakehead leading the way in university education if we only show that we are interested and concerned. "Learning must therefore be a process of self-enhancements . . ." Hurray for that! They should have added that in that process a student learns not only because he wants to learn, but learns what he wants to learn. General education should stop with High School Graduation, if it should last that long. There is no valid reason for a Math major being forced into a language course or an English major being forced to take a science course. Based on the present three year fifteen credit system, this could mean that a student entering university would have all courses open to him. A History major for example might be expected to take a certain number of history courses with freedom of choice in the remaining courses. The resolution speaks of " 'motavation' by coercion". Items such as examinations and term tests have become the reason for learning rather than a means of judging what learning has taken place. It should be obvious to everyone by now that examinations are irrelevent to a student's knowledge. A mark of 60% does not mean that 60 % of the course was mastered, but rather 60 % of that particular exam. An examiner bases his test on what he feels is most important. Whether or not his students place the same value on these points is given little consideration. Yet the right to remain at m1iversity depends on this value. In practise, this resolution would mean the end of the formal lecture system. Impromtu lectures, such as Mr. Anderson's on the Detroit problem, would and should continue. In that particular case, no credits, but a great deal of learning was the result. The professor would become a "resource person". With his students he would define the direction and content of the course. Students would be free to read, research, experiment and discover on their own, meeting with the professor to discuss problems or points of contention whenever necessary. Under this system, the true value of a professor would become obvious within a short time. However, under this system a professor could be certain that he was in fact contributin~ t.o the education of an individual, and that presumably is why they are here. By accepting the resolution, Council has placed us on the road which can lead us to becoming a true community of scholars. Our President wants this, the Council wants this, and many of the faculty want it. If we are ever to achieve it then we must show our support now. The road is there; all we have to do is follow it. -photo - drew Bookstore Committee Notes Christmas is made University students buying crested clothing from Perciante & Laprade or Stitt's, can redeem ten percent of their purchase price in the form of Bookstore merchandise. An itemized receipt must be presented to the Bookstore for students to take advantage of this offer. Text book markup was discussed at the Bookstore Committee's meeting. Markup is 20% on all merchandise except soft cover books selling for less than $3. These books are sold at the suggested retail price. This mark-up system results in a saving to students of from 5% to 30% on their Bookstore purchases, depending on the discount granted the store by the publisher or manufacturer. for Candles THE ORIGINAL DANSK DESIGNS CANDLE SPRAY $5.95 the treasure house 7 S.

The previously unheralded Rumanians turned m a n y heads last year when they won the "B'·' division in the world championships. They have been elevated to the "A" division, ·to play against such competition as Canada and Russia this year and, as a preliminary to the world championships in F r a n c e, they will tour Canada during the month of December. Th e Canadian Amateur Hockey association awarded the game to Lakehead University on the basis of their fine record last year a n d their growing reputation as one of the up-and-coming names in Canadian university hockey circles. The Nor' Westers won the International Collegiate Hockey association title last year against United States competition and have just been accepted into the Nationa· Intercollegiate Athletic association, the first Canadian university to be so recognized. Their experience in college rules, similar to international rules, will hold them in good stead against the touring Rumanians. A fast, positional team in the mold of the Russian or Czech style, the Rumanians have .made great strides in the past few years. They are rated above both the Eastern German and Japanese teams which have drawn excellent crowds at Fort William •Gardens in recent years. Coach H e n r y Akervall feels his Nor'Westers will provide stiff competition against the touring Rumanians. "I expect they will be a young, fast team and that's just the type of competition we are accustomed to playing," he said. "Conditioning and positional play is the secret for the European teams and we'll have to use the proven formula of forechecking them before they get their pattern plays working. That means skating, skating and more skating. The problem, according to Akervall, is getting the ice practice time at the Port Arthur Arena. The Arena is booked solidly 18 hours a day. The Nor'Westers practice times are limited to two outings a week at noon hour, 12 -1:30 p.m. Akervall said the poor condition of the N or'Westers was the major reason for their double loss in the opening games of the season against Lake Superior State College at Sault Ste. Marie. T h e touring Rumanian National Hockey team will face what will probably be the toughest four days of their Canadian tour, when they hit the heart of hockey country, the Manitoba-Thtlllder Bay area. Previous to their Wednesday, Dec. 13th game against Lakehead University Nor'Westers, the Rumanians will meet the Canadian Nationals, Sunday, in Winnipeg and the Brandon Juniors, Tuesday, in Brandon. The full itinerary of the Rumanian tour was released recently by Canadian Amateur Hockey association officials. It shows an 11-game schedule in 19 days highlighted by the game .in Winnipeg against the Nationals. The tour begins in St. John's Newfoundland on Dec. 1 ending on Dec. 19 in a yet undecided eastern Ontario site. CAHA officials are just completing plans for that final game. From St. John's they move on to Moncton, N.B.; Drummondville, Quebec; Shawville, Ontario; Winnipeg, Brandon; the Lakehead; Hull-Ottawa and Sault Ste. Marie. The University student's cheering section will be led by the pert cheerleaders who have been a highlight of all university sporting events. Tickets are now on sale for the international event.

In the first game, they lost by a score of 29 to 16 with Glennis Holmes and Judy Perlin scoring 8 and 4 points respectively. The second game, a much closer contest, resulted in a 30 to 26 loss with Linda Thomas scoring 7 points, Judy Perlin and Maritta Riekstins scoring 16 points apiece. Coach Bill Shannon describei; this year's team as better than those in the previous years. The only thing the team lacks is ex• perience. The team has eleven members. Five members, Maritta Reikstins, Linda Thomas, Susan Savage, Linda Martin and Judy Perlin are veterans returning to the team. The other members are Gail Crowhurst, G 1 e n y s Holmes, Penny Horn, Nina Quinn, Marcia Graham, and C}lris Jaremko.

Saturday, Don Holmstrom scored 24 points for the Nor'Westers while Jim Johnston added nine. For the sharp-shooting Bemidji Lumberjacks, centre man Isle scored 17, while Sutton netted 16.

To me, the Olympics, the summit of amateur sport, have been soured in the past few years. This is because there are no real amateur sports left in the world. World officials have always tried to screw the top nation in a sport. For example, Canada has been taking it in the ear in international hockey, after dominating the scene for several years. Canada has been sending some of its best reborn amateurs (semi or minor pro players) to play in a modified game so we can't even use our aggressive play. In the meantime Russia -sends its best amateur team (really a top pro team) to play by rules that favour them. We're wasting money supporting a national team. So too has the U.S. basketball team been harassed by prejudiced international basketball rules. But they still continue to win. To my way of thinking it shouldn't matter if one country dominates one Olympic sport because ( with the exceptions of maybe Russia and the U.S.) that will probably be the only sport which that country will dominate. And it will have to compete against other countries in the other sports. We don't need the Olympics or guys like Bunny Aheame. The U.S. has enough international sports image so that it could hold its own world basketball championship under its own rules. Canada could even hold a world hockey tournament under Canadian rules and send invitations to the hockey countries of the world. Some of the good ones would come; some might not. But those that didn't come would make an appearance eventually to keep up their image in the sport. The Olympics are dead. They are only held for the fantasy of world politicians who claim it is one place where peace among nations can be shown. "There's no prejudice or jealousy at all." Oh yes there is. Canada complains because Czech referees favour the Russians in a top hockey game. The Olympic committee knows it is wrong, and there is prejudice, so they create a trophy, give it to Father Bauer and the Canadians become great sportsmen. Nice guys finish last! Father Bauer gets a trophy, Canada gets 10 brownie points for being good sports. Russia wins the game and the whole world is at peace. John Wilson. The McMaster march started on the Bear Seems Cliff Stewart humoured his teammates and Coach Akervall last weekend. Akervall had just blasted his team for only getting one shot on net. Cliff started for the ice in the second period and tried to encourage the rest of his teammates with his own pep talk, "C'mon you guys, let's go out there and get another shot on goal." ,,. .

GIBSON MOTt)RS (1962) Ll~IITED Intercity Dial 344·7235 �Page 20 December 7, 1967 THE ARGUS Blood donor In spite of heated protests from the Foresters, the results of last week's Blood Donor Clinic indicate that the healthiest, most spirted, unapathetic, and willing to helt> group on campus is not the Foresters, but the Nursing Degree students. This group of prospective pill-pushers turned up 62 percent strong to give blood, and 100 percent strong to help the Red Cross workers from Winnipeg in making the Clinic a success. But the Foresters can feel somewhat compensated by the fact that the girls bettered their 58 percent by a slight margin of 4 percent. Engineering c a m e next with 33 percent, thanks to the insisting assistance of one red-haired female engineer, who "helped" many of them into the Great Hall. The Student Nurses took advantage of their one day on campus to call out 26 percent of their numbers. Science and Arts made rather disappointing efforts, with 23.1 percent ·and 22.9 percent support respectvely. Business Administration was lower with 21 percent, and Library Tech, a group that clinic successful should have been near the top, owing to their small number, made use of only 19 percent of their potential. Faculty and Administration (plus staff) both deserve a good •swift kick for their disinterest. Seven percent and five percent turnouts respectively put them both at the bottom of the list. Although t h e response from the University itself, f r o m Lakehead Teachers' College, and Confederation College was not as high as expected, the cause was helped considerably by 356 high school donors. The 860 pint total is substantial enough to deem this year's Clinic a success, and to merit another in the future. A thank-you to all those who helped out, either by working in the Clinic or by giving blood, is very much in order. Not only have you helped bolster a common project of the University, but you have also done something directly in aid of another person's well-being.

A guest lecture sponsored by the Canadian Institute of International Affairs 1n1tiated intense dialogue last Thursday night in the lower lecture theatre. Dr. Sarah Klein from the Untversity of Toronto spoke on "Yugoslavia: Propaganda and the Civil War", concentrating on some of the "truths" which the popular media has been unable to adequately cover. Dr. Klein also commented on the political situations involved with the claims of independence coming from the states of Croatia and Slovenia. Dr. Klein specializes in Russian history and has accrued a wealth of informatton over her 20 years of study, recently completing a book on the subject. Close to one hundred people attended the lecture, very few of those being students. Some had direct interest in the conflicts of the civil war, either being direct 1mm1· grants from Yugoslavia or having family and friends in the count:Iy. Several outspo. ken University professors attended to take part in the discussion subsequent to the lecture. One of the ftrst significant actions by the government follOWing the takeover was the silencing of the press. Any condemnation of the conflict was seen as a traitorous enterprise. Antigovernment voices were crushed. As a result much of the war's coverage received in Canada ranged from untruths to outrfght lies. Information was often falsified in order to spread propaganda by the government. and as a result opinions and aWtudes on the conflict were oftenmalfgned. According to Dr, Klein, they still are. ·1 don't envy our diplomats involved with the responsibility of dealing with Yugoslavia", Klein stated, adding that the premature recognition of Croatia and Slovenia while conflict has still not settled was -not a wise, well considered foreign policy." Dr. Klein referred to the reported heavy bombing of Croatia, saying, "the truth about this kind of thing ts not going to come out for a while ,but you don't accept the version that ts given to youjust because it was there and convenient". She also expressed some measure of support for the Croatians. The confitct is based not only on the differences of culture and religion of the states, but also the ideological confitcts between communism and democracy. She said ..if the army was doing to Venice what it is doing to Dubrovnik the whole world would be up in arms and would come to its rescue". Ian Cro,kcll , CGA, Scnklc Vicc-Pruidcn1.

There is the possibility of mercwy poisoning damaging their fishing and hunting grounds.and this means that their traditional life and culture will be greatly affected. Vice-President of LU-s Native Students· Association.Linda Herny.recognizes the problem that the Cree are facing. She said that in Phase One of the Project.the Quebec government gave some of the reserves large amounts of money to compensate them for their loss.and this has made the reserves quite prosperous. Herny sees this move as "the governmenfs way of trying to do away with the native culture"· because.although the Cree have money to live. they will not be able to retain an important part of'their heritage. She feels the Quebec government is attempting to "assimilate the natives into the white culture" .in order to go ahead with the James Bay Project. stability. Environmentalists. backed by scientific study. argue that the project would effectively destroy the ecology of a large part of the northern heartland of Canada. Toe project would alter whole biological regimes through diversion of rivers and flooding of forest lands. Toe Cree and Inuit in the area maintain that the project threatens their cultural. social and economic well-being. Floodingo-of forest lands creates several biological problems including disruption of wildlife and their migration patterns (notably caribou). mercury poisoning of fish and humans, the potential extermination of the freshwater seal and the production of greenhouse gases from the decomposition of plant material in the reservoirs.

Due to a population change in the university, the number ofscience reps will go down by one, and the number of arts reps will go up one. COLLE8E STUDENTS MAY BE RESTRICTED FROM PUB Greg Beckford, LUSU rep for Arts, proposed Confederation College students not "enter our bar with their ... cards" on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights. All nonLU students would be signed in as the guest of an LU student. An LU student could only sign in one guest. Each guestwouldpaya$2.00cover charge which would go towards a Student Centre Contingency Fund. This would be in effect on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights. Debate lasted until the end of the marathon meeting, at 12.30am. Beckford argued that Confederation College students and residents oflhunder Bay have not paid for the Outpost, yet currently Con College students can walk in just by flashing their student cards. and an LU studentcansignin two guests. Beckford felt that Con College students occupy too much space on Thursday nights, and that because of this, many LU students who have paid for the bar are waiting in line.

Tanya Tougas feared that this move may deter business from non-LU students all week and into the summer. when the Outpost ts/dependant on -their business. Beckford stated he was in touch with students and this proposal would be popular. He also said this would decrease tension that the current situation creates and thus "promote healthy alcoholism." When the motion came toa vote, there were fifteen Board members present. Fifteen is quorum, or the minimum number of reps needed legally. Squires, who opposed the motion, left, and Fleguel called quorum. Since quarum had been lost, the meeting was dissolved.

FMC has proposed an increase into many of the existing and some new items, including the phone budget for Cass Koenen, the radio station, the Gender Issues Centre. and a proposed climbing wall. The total increase for all items totalled $93,500. Debate went in circles. Some questioned the wisdom of spending money on these items when the Outpost was $70,000 in debt. Many felt the money should go to paying off debts now, whileLUSU is still able to. Tilis proposed Mini-Budget was referr¢ back to-FMC to be discusf(ed with auditors. In the executive reports. Ian Middleton stated that the Space Committee will re-examine the decision to close off theAgora from student sponsored events. The ECHO and Native Student events, that were previously scheduled, have been given the go-ahead. Then LUSU proceeded to debate a series of housecleaning motions, most of which passed. Karen Molly, a representative ofWorld University Services of Canada (WUSC), asked the Board to consider donating $6,000 to WUSC, which would sponsor two refugee students to attend LU. The $6,000 would be paid over a two year period. Molly indicatedshehadapproachedDr. Robert Rosehart and the Alumni to donate a' total of $7,000. Pete George said he would like to see such a program to support Canadian students instead. Some members of the Board agreed. Financial Management Committee (FMC) indicated they could not support such a program if it was a "charity." Molly described WUSC as a "nonprofit" agency. Robin Sq~ said the program would be valuable in terms of experience. These students would meet our Canadian students and teach us about conditions (Continued on Page 14. See "REFUGEES") 1!;11 N.

A real assault rifle ts one that ts capable of firing at a rate that exceeds one cartridge per trigger pull or fully-automatic ftre. It can be a burst of three or so bullets. It has a high capacity magazine of highly reliable design and enviable construction. It has a ftn1sh that ts durable and matte, emphasizfng endurance over cosmetic appeal. It is constructed of top quality, supertor metals, alloys and composites. The sights are those of a rugged, easy to use vartetywtth quick pickup and easy of use 1n any light situation. These rifles are nonnally standardized into one or two of the main military cartridges those being 5.5mm, 7.62mm, 7.62x39mm, and the 9mm. Most of the NATO countries use either the 5.56mm, the 9mm or the 7.62mm whJle the Communist countries rely on the 7.62x9mm. The barrel ts about two feet long gtve or take. with total length at about four feet. They are designed to function in any climate with ease, they allow total confidence 1n their ability to function bang on. 1 To further your knowledge, I offer a short essay on the semiautomatic rifle. Ditto with the exception on the rate of fire. Toe so•called assault rifles that many people now buy are designed the exact same as the above with the exception ofvarious sears and millings in the-receivers of the guns. The versions of the military weapons that one can buy in the gun.shops can't, won't and cannot be made to fire at a rate greater than one shot per trigger pull. One can't buy them, legally. Obviously one can buy them illegally. like any other barmed or restricted substance. There lsnothingwrongwithhavinga durable, accurate ftreann 1n one's possession as long as one uses it 1n a responsible manner. All guns started as military assault rifles. The bolt action, being the most basic of all fl.rearms, was designed as a more effective alternative to the black powder rifles of days of yore. The same ts true of the assault rifle. It is streamlined, updated, efficient variation of the baste design. As everything escalates, so must technology. This new technology will be what the bolt action ts to the assault rifle in a matter of few years. AU guns aretncorporatedintotheshootingworldiftheydeliverwhatthe consumer wants, Just as in the market places for any other goods on the face of the earth. If 1t doesn't serve a useful purpose, that gun or other goodJs quickly replaced by something that does. Most of the legal porchasers of these guns buy theqi like the automobile lover buys a four wheer<irtve vehicle. Most 4x4's never see the dirt but when needed they perform their function without hesitation. Just as one would take a 4x.4 into rough conditions, many feel that a semi-automatic rifle or so-called assault rifle is the best bet for swamps, heavy brush, and other such obstacles. By getting the job done in all conditions, the semi-automatic rifle Wins kudos from the legal shooting pubUc. The look of It puts distrust into people who judge by appearance without considering what may be on the inside, sort of like how people treat one another. With a little education in the unknown, one can fonnuJate a logical. factual opinion of the derided rifle. The pleasure of these guns come from the sheer excitement of flrtng one of these pieces of craftsmanship. not in the idea that one can go and extenntnate a group of people. While once designed for that very purpose, they have evolved into a multi-faceted flreann that allows for multicondition shooting Without having to let the weather affect your hunt or target shooting. With safe, . supervised shooting these rifles will allow greatJoy and a feeling of delight. Shooting ts not the evil action that 1t ts portrayed to be, with shooters coming from all walks of life. It ts not a question of controlling guns, but of controlling people who abuse their prtvileges of using the guns. Society as a whole needs more stringent laws in the prosecution of those that have no respect for the humanity of others. Don't ban the gun, ban the crlmtaaJ who uses the gun with long mandatory jail time, hard labour, and other sorts of punishment that flt the crtme. Common sense is the best way of avoiding the loss of shooting privileges. Don't point guns at people. Don't touch guns if they are not yours. Use your mtnd and words to settle disputes, not your gun{s). They are not toys, therefore keep them away from children. Remember these few rules and no one will a:et hurt. W.

In this matter, LUSU ts the only organization on campus that can claim to represent the students. Therefore 1t ls the only organtzat:fon that is directly accountable to the student body at Lakehead. For the most part, LUSU ls accountable and accessible. Board meetings are open to everyone (though only 2 or 3 non_!.,USU people take advantage of this opportunity, including one Argus reporter). : But strangely, the occasion arrives that someone on the board moves to go "in camera" to discuss a certain issue. What does "ln camera" mean? Basically, LUSU shuts It's doors to the public, 1.e. the student body, and discusses 'sensitive issues! 1n privacy. Only LUSU executive, board members, and usually employees are prtvy to what ts said during the "in camera". Once they come "out ofthe camera", no one who participated in the meeting ls allowed to reveal to any other person or member of the media what occurred while "in camera·. Where la the acco1D1tablllty to the students who own the corporation of LUSO? What has happened to the people's "right to know"? Although we're not calling for the complete end to the practise of "in camera" meetings, we think that they should be limtted. We11 start wtth the circumstances in which LUSU usually goes "in camera": 1) staff salaries 2) An investigation of a staff member, a member of the board of directors, or a student that could potentially hann the integrity of the person. 3) Anything deemed as a corporate decision, 1.e. decisions regarding which business to deal wtth etc. Regarding this list 1t is obvious that "in camera" meetings sho~d not be banned completely. Staff members, i.e. the·pub programmer etc. have a right to privacy considering their income. Staffand student investigations probably shouldn't be disclosed either. But that ts where the line should be drawn. What about members of the Board of Directors? Hypothetical Case# 1: Let's say that a board member insults a staff member, and an inquiry ts deemed necessary. As an elected official, that board member's actions should be revealed 1n the public. forum. It ·ts true that the member ls innocent until provengutlty. Thus if the member ls exonerated, the member's integrity has not been threatened since they have been c~eared of all charges. But if the person ls found guilty, all of the details should be available to the public: in the meetings, and (hopefully) subsequentlytn the.Argus. It bolls down to the public's right to know. Hypothetical Case #2. Let's say a corporate decision ts being •made regarding which travel company LUSU should select. Of the three companies, two offer a free trip to one tour guide. while the third offers free trips for two tour gutdes...,lbe third also offers a higher price per student. Shou!_d nottbf!S~detatls that influence the board's final dectston ~-a'vailao!efo students? ln•camera meetings may prevent students from being aware of these types of decisions. In other words, how do we know tfLUSU is truly acting in the best interests of students unless we know what factors were considered tn reaching a conclusion. Students.who elect Board members will never know if the LUSU Board abuses the privilege of in-camera meetings because we never know what has been discussed. WSU uses •Robert's Rules of Order" to maintain a systematic and Democratic way to run meetings. Closing off these debates to the public by our elected officials is like closing off Parliament. Does this seem fair? Even past Board members have questioned the use of in•camera meetings, wtth one former Board rep describing discussion durtngtn-camera meetings as "frivolous." I Invite LOSU memben who diaagree with th.I■ statement to write a letter defending the use of "In camera" meetings In regard to Board Member Discipline and Corporate matters. I also invite students from the general population to write and tell us whether or not you feel that matters of this nature should be kept in the public forum. Before I close, I would also like to suggest that a nonmembers of the Board such as Judicial Committee reps or some other person act as an arbitrator who can sit in on "in camera" meetings and decide if all things being discussed are really relevant to the reason the board went "in camera" in the first place. It would be the arbitrator's responsibility to reveal the subject matter of all unrelated digressions made followtng the meeting. Of course, then 1t would be necessary to have a written policy available for the circumstances in which a meeting ts to be made "in camera" and the speclftc topics which may be withheld from the public. 'lbis would guarantee that LUSU only went "in camera" for legitimate reasons. Basically tt would be a self poUdng mechanism that would prevent potentially arbitrary use of the "in camera· device that no Board :bc,,:.,.•~~~!f E?~F:~5i:::~:;,. �'' FROZEN STIFF" J\L 92 WINTER SEE LUSU THE OUTPOST FOR MORE INFO I Help Build The World's -LARGEST SNOW ANGEL 1, THURS.

It should set up a programsfmilartothe Crime Stoppers"'program in Thunder Bay. and call it Cheat Stoppen. Here's an example of how it would work. An anonymous letter recently recieved at the Argus suggested that some students in Engineering were cheating on tests and exams. Assuming that the author of this letter was truthful. it's probably safe to assume that cheating on tests is occurring in other disciplines besides Engineering. "Yeah. so what?" you're probably thinking. I can't believe you thought that! Cheating is a blight. a d1sease that, if left untreated spreads uncontrollably into the veiy fabric of this nation. "I find that hard to believe." you're saying to yourself. Well, it's true. Cheating on tests is not so bad, but it progresses to other teITible atrocities. Pretty soon a test cheater cheats on his income taxes, brings goods across the Border without declaring them, fabricates. stories about Sudbury doctors and calls Liberal MPs 'fornicating fatherless children' (alooseauotaUon) and then denies it.

In most cases it was Johnson's ill-fated love affairs that caused him his greatest anguish. The women in his life eventually cost him his life. he was poisoned. It is believed that the poison was slipped into his drink by either a Jealous gtrlfrtend or jilted husband. His death left many unanswered questions. one of which was his exact age. Don Law. his recording producer for all his tracks placed his age at roughly 18 years while he recorded. Yet Muddy Waters. another Delta Blues singer, Maintainshisagewascloser to thirty years old. Most agree that since Law was closer to Johnson h1s guess is closer to the truth, but the controversy just adds to the legend. During a trip to San Antonio, Law was out to dinner when he received a phone call from the police, Johnson had been picked up on a vagrancy charge, and Law further d1scovered that the police had beat him up and smashed his guitar. continued •.ver page... �1beArgus Page 8 Janumy23. 1992 ENTERTAINMENT PC PICKS by 'Pat" Compatible Sid Meier's Civilization has finally been released.

Fero Veteran Kelly Williams bas quit the volleyball squadasofWednesday. It is presumed that Williams was upset after losing her starting setter position to second year playerJo-Anne Hood. WOUams follows the progressing new lead among varsity volleyball players. after the team lost two players. Covie Chaluptak and Sandra Bactc in the second term last year and Elisa Peterson at the begttmtng of this term. Peterson however has left the team to concentrate on academtc endeavour. Head coach Claude Lapre moved W11Jtams from setter to the off-side posiUon saying that he wanted to institute a more offensive attack. "We wanted to focus on having a quicker, more aggressive offence ... Kelly is very conservative and not vi;.~ ~.Qµft,Qt~Jt \\!t,Ut this new~. offence." said Lapre who also went on to state the Williams bad some immediate success at the off-side at the Carelton Invitational and in Friday's match versus Windsor. This shockcomesafter the team swept a very good Windsor squad this past weekend at the rhunderdome.

Joining Breutigam in the power exhibtuon were Windsor's Jodi Beaugrand, who had 24 kills, and Kenee M1ch1els who added 23, a career best. LU I played very well, having to rally and beat the Windsor squad with defence. Team captain-Andie Aitken had 17 tough dJgs_. ev.en going tnto the stands for a couple balls. The following night the lady NorWesters took the match. by again wtnn1ng by the same 3-1 set score. Breutlgam led the way with 24 kills, 17 digs and 4 aces. Aitken added 6 kills and 16 digs. The team played great defence making only 16 mistakes 1n the whole match. Kim Rubbra played a great match subbing in for Williams who didn't have much success Saturday. Jenny Spence started for the first time this weekend and did a great job slowing Beaugrand who had only 20 kills Saturday. Geraldine Bergmans provtde a solid wall, and while she didn't score stat1stlcally, the best blocks were the ones she didn't make. forcing the Windsor hitters to make weak shots. Jo-Amle Hood also showed some quality play in place ofWflJtaros and showed signs ofbetnga natural at the setter position. The wins leave LU alone on top of the OWIAA West with McMaster as the other teams seem to be beating themselves Into sub .500 records. The team ts off to Waterloothisweekend, ifthey sweep playoff action will be assured. LI.Fans Banked Only Second In The l'nnrlnca It has been officially announced that LU only has the second best fans In Ontario University play ranking behind Guelph In a recent poll by CHCH 1V of Hamilton who televises the weekly OUM game of the week. ·The announcement come at a time when the LU fans seem to be joining the wave of apathy around campus. The fans Just don't seem to be with tt this season. It began during the exhtbltton games and has now spread In to conference play. No longer do we find the once common chants such as •sn down coach•, and at tlmeswe are lucky 1f fans raise a finger when our team ts shooting our foul shots. I don't know what ls happening this }":ar, I was so happy to go to a game to get In to the action, we used to have an sixth person advantage. It must be told that the banishment ofthe fabled Thunderstorm has done a lot to diminish splrtt amongst fans. The ClAU and the OUAA referees have recently vowed to enfon::e the rule which gives ourteam a technical foul after theThunderstonn. However measures to sneak around this ruling are already In the planning stages and may be In place for this weekends match versus McMaster. So the bottom line Is, are we number two or number one. I believe we -have the potential to become number one but we have to turn things around soon. If there are some crazy fans left let's see you out this weekend. Pots and pans, horns, and any noisemakers are optional but they can only help. This ts a true article, the following are a reminder of LU Thunderdome courtesy calls and actions: 1) at the beginning ofeach match every fan should tum away when the visiting team Is being Introduced. 2) when the opposing coach stands up the chant ·su down coach• should follow Immediately. 3) when our team Is shooting foul shots each fans shall raise their hand and wave It and yell •swoosh" when It goes In. Remember, It used to be commonplace, well It may come back this weekend. Lets get out and gain pack our sixth person advantage. CP'S SPORTS EATING Havtng heard of the Canadiens' supertor record at the all•star break. i've come to realise that cheese curds - so prevalent in Montreal - should be a united Cattada't national food symbol. No more cheesy distinct society: let's all grab a hold of the curd. �SPORTS Baskethall Teanas S-weep Windsor Wemen The LU womens basketball team walked all over their host Windsor squad last weekend. The ladies dominated winning by the scores of 77-62 Friday and 83-48 on Saturday. The victories come via a hot shooting performance by the entire team, hitting a whopping 53% from the field on Saturday. The ladies were paced by Pam Leitch who seemed to have shaken her shooting bug by putting down 44 points in the two contests. Leitch wasJoined by teammate Kathy Harrison who scored 23 on Saturday. Barb Hill also had 15 on Saturday. The team played very well as all team members saw action and made a soUd contribution. The score on Saturday. as lopsided as it may seem, only had LU up by 10 at the half and head coach Stu Julius insisted he wasn't trying to run up the score. The next three weeks will bring the toughest competition to the front. LU will play McMasterthisweekend and can't afford to drop a game. It likely won't happen though as LU brings a three year conference home undefeated steak in to the games. (I hope I didn't jinx). Currently the LU ladies are ranked #7 in the country with a 14-6 overall record with their only losses coming to the teams ranked in preceding 6. The team is tied for first place in the OWIAA Westat4-0, here's a look at the standing as of Jan.22. Womens Standings Westem(S-0) Lakehead(4-0) McMaster(2-2) Brock(l-3) Waterloo( 1-2) Guelph( 1-2) Laurier( 1-3) Windsor(0-4) Men The LU mens basketball team followed the lead of the womens team and took a pair of games in Windsor this past weekend. The men dominated their Windsor foes to bring their conference record to 3-1 and put them into a tie position with Guelph and McMaster. Leading the charge was second year point guard Peter Brown. Brown has asserted himself in the NorWester Uneup getting more and more confidence with each game. Brown has been pushing the ball up the court fast and distributing the ball well. The quick Brown gives the team a new look. Also Mike Lalonde had a great weekend scoring 33 pts. and 26 rebounds over the two games, earning h1m an athlete of the week nomination. Brian Norland put in some quaUty time and so did Chris Grace. It finally seems as though the teamiS beginning to show the depth it promised at the beginning of the year. Perhaps the most important aspect of the mens game is their defence. The NorWesters rank# 1 in the conference in defence, only allowing an average of 69.5/ppg. Ray Foster has been brilliant defensively and has teamed well with Lalonde to wipe off the boarai, The temn hM five players averaging over 10/ ppg not including shooting ace Dave Pineau who has run into early foul trouble this season. The team has played all the toughest competitors and as coach Lou Pero adds "are not afraid of anyone." Odds are this team will have their run before the season is over.

Osburn-Seyffert Senate committee on Teaching and Learning c/o School of Education Cheap Seats by Simon Cox You know it, I know it, and I thought that it was obvious to eveiyone. Hockey fs the greatest game in the world. Evidently, something fs very wrong with a sports popularity poll conducted in the United States a short while ago that ranked hockey 40th in popularity. Granted, this is just American opinion, but I didn't realize that more than thirty or so sporting actMties existed. Following will be reasonswhyhockeyfs better than three popular sports. Time and space limits keep me from comparing sports such as Roller Derby and Rhythmic Gymnastics, which also ranked higher in participation than hockey. Hockeyfs betterthanbaseball because... -Only four out of twentysix teams make the playoffs. Players do not seem to care though, although I wouldn't either for $5 million a season. -Baseball has no time lfmit. Pitchers and management control the speed of a game which fsaveraglngthree hours in length, and sometimes much longer in extra innings. Baseball fs much too boring to 1tay 1.wak@ that long, -Managers wear uniforms. Take a look around the majars. Some of those old farts shoe-horned into those tight _ polyester suits looks. rtdiculous. They make Robbie Ftorek's sweaters look good. Hockey ts better than football beca~~,,, -Football teams only play one game a week. What fans and players do the other six days is beyond me. How long does it take to hype yourself uptothrowon20lbs. ofequtpment and hurl your body toward someone wearing the same? -You must weigh at least 250lbs. to play football. This could only mean that players spend six days a week eating. -There are too many timeouts. Having 8 or 10 timeouts per game gives the quarterback power to make that big play and move the ball l 00 yards down the field in 5 or 6 seconds. -Watching football can be like watching paint dry. Hockey fs better than basketball because... -You have to be seven feet tall to play basketball. You're completely screwed if under six feet anyway. The only exceptions are Spud Webb, and local sports hero Peter Brown. -The last basket always wins the game. Why not just have a jump ball, and let the first team that scores win? -Basketball is monotonous. Inbound the ball. Pass the ball. Pass the ball. Sink the ball. Inbound the ball. Pass the ball. Pass the ball. Sink the ball. There fs little doubt in my mind that hockey fs the fastest and most exciting of all sports. Hopefully, expansion into San Jose and Tampa (both HUGE American T.V. markets), can greatly increase the popularity of hockey. It should then be more popular than thrilling Syncronized Swimming or the capUvattng Dresage. �• -~ j i. The Argus Page 13 January 23, 199~ Ig SPORTS . . ' Super Bowl 1992 Official Predictions ~~~ :@ *:::~ ~-~ till f:.':1 ::t: ,,:;!;;.. ! ft I I mt ~~ II I :&¥. RC dS ki flS Last year this sports sage predicted that the Buffalo Bills would end a seven year drought and beat the 49ers to win Super Bowl XXV. Two things went wrong. 1) The Giants beat the 49ers. Fine I thought, then the Bills will Just have to beat the Giants instead. They did look unstoppable against the Raiders. Also I couldn't see Thurman Thomas coughing up the ball in the dying minutes of the game like Roger "Call Me Sammie Smith" Craig did. 2) The Giants played flawless football. They had to. They had no choice. But still they won the game by a single point and that's all that counted. The Bills were the team of 1990, but the Giants deserved to win the title game. It'sanewyear. I'malittle older, hopefully wiser, so I'm going to take inevitable choice and pick the Redskins to win Super Bowl XXVI. How can I go against the emotions, the revenge factor, the odds of eight straight NFC victories that should inspire the Bills? The Bogs... They allowed ninesacksallyear.Theyhandled the awesome Eagles. They handled the Giants, the Oilers, the Bears. Jeny Ball. They give Rypien the time he needsandtheygivethebacks the blocks they want. They can neutralize Bennent, Smith, and Wright, the only defensive weapons that the , Bills really have. Defence wins. The Hogs won't let the Billsmakethedtfferencethat they did against the Broncos. Joe Gibbs ... Two or three new plays per week, the best playoff record among active coaches, Super Bowl expertence. This man is a factor. The Posse ... Tin-ee receivers that make Reed, Lofton, and Beebe look weak. Blair Kiel could quarterback this team to a Super Bowl. The Running Attack... 1bree runningbacks that give the Redskins the most versatilerunningattackin the NFL. Teamed with the Hogs, the undersized Bill line will suffer. TheDanelGreen... Hecan cover Andre Reed one on one all day. Allowing the Skins to tal favourite because they're the underdog, and they've never~won the Super Bowl.

It will beamoreexcitingSuperBowl thanlastyearminusthethrilling ending. Redskins by 10. P.S. Scott Norwood won't miss anything from 45 yards or less on Sunday. But if he does, he's gone (unless the Bills win). TG Belrose B1•11S Da Bills! yes that's right folks this NFL guru is taking the now 7 1/2 point underdogs to sip the champagne in '92. Contraiy to the popular belief of the bandwagoners the Bills can compete with the Redskins and win. Here's why: 1) The Bills have Jim Kelly, Andre Reed and Thurman Thomas to lead the offence. The hottest offence 1s ready to strike and the 'Skins defencewUl be double cover Beebe, Lofton, the \fleUm. Th@ Blll8 ne@d to or even Thurman Thomas. At thirty, still one of the finest cornerbacks in the NFL. He did hurt himself against the IJons,butheisalikelystarter. TheBillsarethesentimen- get Thomas out of the blocks on the ground. If he can get some quality gain on the ground Kelly may not even have to air it out. WhJle the Redskin defence 18 good vs. the run Thomas is a big game performer (see Super Bowl25).IfThomasisshowtng little gain on the ground then look for Kelly to give him a few screens, Thomas' speed on the outside is unparalleled in the NFL with the exception of a certain #20inDetroit.ButlikeSanders. Thomas has the explosiveness to swing wide. If therunandthescreensdon't work look for Reed, and James Lofton to figure. While the 'Skins boast one of the best DB's in Darell Green, he alone can not stop the muchbiggerReed.Adouble team on Reed will leave Lofton alone and-he can beat a smaller man one on one, butnotformorethan 10-15 yds. Kellyhas the poise and talenttooutsmarthiscounterpart Rypien, and his abilltytoscramblegtveshiman important advantage. 2) Buffalohasarguablythequtckest front seven in the NFL. Led by superstar-in-themaking Cornelius Bennett the B~ defence can shut down the Redskins offence. Whenfanslookatlastweeks l 0-6 victory over Denver all they see is the 10 the scored, not the 6 they allowed. They shut down the Broncos, and their 1,000 yd. rusher GastonGreen.Theywereon Elway all day, and Bennett cut down any rushing play even on his opposite side. The Redskins don't even have c 1,000 yd. back, need I sa) more. As far as the air attad goes for the 'Skins, l~t me tel you something... there ain'1 going to be one if the 'Skim don't establish a runntni game. Look for the Posse o. Sanders. Monk and Clark tc gain some short yardage quickouts. The middle is toe solid, and the three will pay i they come inside, with the likes of Conlan and Talle) covering the middle. Buffalc will have their DB's play close, bump-and-run style, while the safetys will play deep tc prevent the bomb. The key tc stopping the pass is to onl) allow the short one, if the coverage ·is good downfteld the 'Skins will have to take the quickie. Oh yes, one fellow I forgot to mention is Bruce Smith. Look for Snµth to provide his presence on the pasi: rush. Unlike the Lions, the Bills will get to Rypien, or at least rush him, one or tw~ team sacks maybe. 3) Tht Bills have Norwood.

"We tell them what is available but we cannot offer anonymous testing right now," said Gail Grier, a nurse at the health service. Grier said the health service could not do anonymous tests - -where a patient 1s· not required to give their name or healthmsurancecard - through the lab they currently use. Toe health service is afflliated with the Queen Elizabeth Hospital of Montreal and they use its bacteriology lab's services. R. Murthy, the assistant chief teclmologlst at the bacteriology lab at the Queen Elizabeth, said they do not do anonymous tests. 1be test must go through a doctor and the doctor is responsible and must lmow the name of the patient although we can be given a number or another name," Murthy said. Toe test is paid for through Quebec health insurance, and so any doctor ordering an HIV test for a patient requires his or her health insurance number. 1hebesttheservicecan do is offer a confidential HIV test, which means information must be recorded in the trt;udent's medical file. • "We try not to be too explicit," said Grier. "We will write that a student received sex education or STD and HIV counselling in their file." However, if that student decided to go ahead with an HIV test after counselling, it would be in his or her file. And the existence of written information showing either positive or negative results could mean problems REFUGEES (cont'd from pg. 3) in their countries. Many agreed. Middleton told the Board thatflnancfallyitwas no problem. With the number of students at LU, the program would cost $0.50 a student. He :also indicated that LUSU generates more than $6,000 on vending machines and video games. And since LUSU already offers bursaries, then this proposal ts quite reasonable. , Greg Beckford was concerned with finance. He said it wo~d be naive to assume many. students would meet these refugees and downplayed the experience value. He said there was no profit in such a program. He then questioned how he could justify to his constituents that their$75 student fee went to charity. The motion to donate the moneywas tabled until January 30. for that student. Ron de Burger, director of the AIDS Education and Awareness Program of the Canadian Public Health Association in Ottawa, said that when it comes to HIV testing, people are concerned about confidential information getting out. 1bere have been a couple of cases in Canada where somebody's name inadvertently got out of the system," said de Burger, citing the Nova Scotia school teacher whose positive HIV test results were discovered by his employer. "He's out of a Job and he can•t get back into the classroom." Toe results of a breach of conftdent1altty can be grim but Concordia students and others in the Montreal area who want an anonymous HIV test can get it done at two centres in Montreal - the CLSC Metro or the CLSC Centrevtlle. (Local community service clinics are called CLSC's in Quebec.) Marlene Yuen-Boyer, the co-ordinator of the AIDS Intervention Centre at the CLSC Metro, said the idea for anonymous testing originated in the United States where they Just wanted to "get the people out to be tested. "In Canada, Quebec was the first province to bring in anonymous testing," she said. There are five anonymous HIV testing centres in Quebec, including the two in Montreal and one each in Sherbrooke, Quebec City, and the Outaouais region. And although the Ontario government announced plans two weeks ago to spend $600,000 on several new test centres in the Ottawa area, Ontario has only one anonymous testing centre in Toronto.

CAMPUS RAPE TRIAL SPARKS ANGER (Source: The Varsity) by Krishna Rau TORONTO (CUP) - In the wake of a December acquittal in one of Canada's first campus date rape trials, women's groups say univers1Ues must take far stronger action. · Robert Van Oostrom, a graduate of Queen's University, was charged last fall with fo1,1r counts of sexual assault against three women between 1987 and 1989. Van Oostrom was a Queen's engineering student at the time, and all the complainants were Queen's students. The women testified that Van Oostrom ignored their refusal to have sex. Van Oostrom testtfted each of the women consented to sex with him. Women in Kingston staged protests after the decision, which the crown ts appealing. Toe crown attorney has since been criticized for saying the judge in the case refused to recognize the seriousness of date rape. Women's groups said the decision could make it even harder for women who had been raped by an acquaintance to go to the police. "Women aren't going to come forward if they think their trials are Just going to be thrown out, anyway," said a member of the Queen's Women's Centre. But other groups felt the extensive coverage of the trial and the actions of the crown might prompt more women to come forward. ' "In a situation like this, we would. encourage women to report date rape or assault," said Susan Bazilli, the legal director of the Toronto-based Metro Action Committee on Public Violence Against Women and Children. '1he crown attorney and the prosecution were very supportive." 1be publicity around the trial might make university administrations recognize that they have a lot of work to do. "They can't tum a blind eye to it. They have to take responsibility for what goes on in their own community." Susan Addario, the University ofToronto's safety officer, said universities have to take notice of the attitudes of Jud~ and others within the legal system, and work to change them. "I'm not saying they Oudges) are neanderthals, misogynists or dinosaurs. They Just haven't heard about the experiences of women. 1be university should be wondering whether we should be taking an active role in Judicial tratntng." She said universities have to decide whether they want to entrust assault cases to the legal system or deal with them internally. . But she said universities sttll have a lot of thinking to do about how to handle such cases. "Do we want to take people who are engaging in sexually abusive behaviour and exclude them from the community? "Do we want to ask them to do some kind of community work which would heal in a more psychic way?" Bazill1 said the recent media spotlight on rape trials might force universtttes to make those decisions. She said the Van Oostrom trial, as well as the Will1am Kennedy Smith date rape trial in Florida, and the recent Supreme Court of Canada decision to strike down the "rape shield" law illustrated the need for more action around sexual assault. "Sexual harassment policies are now part of the policy structure of most universities. Let's take that one step further with sexual assault cases." NEW CUP MEMBER RUFFLES REFORM PARTY FEATHERS (Source: The Muse) ST. JOHN'S (CUP) - A Reform Part of Canada member is pushing the student newspaper at Sir Wilfred Grenfell College to apologize for an article about the party entitled "7 Up. Good Head, and Neo-Fascism". The article appeared in the December issue of Queue as a report on an RPC organiZing meeting. Agnes Fitzpatrick's lawyer has sent a letter to the college's board of directors, demanding an apology from the author, Queue and the college. Lynn Cole said her client "found (the article] to be inaccurate in its description of the party, and offensive in its vulgarity ... Cole said the use of the term "neo-fascism" in the headline was "inaccurate and its connotations offensive." The article also made a number of factual errors about statements by _ Fitzpatrick, and it accused the party of being anti-Newfoundland and anti-French, Cole said. The staff has refused to apologtze and has offered the party an opportunity to respond in the paper. • .. . . . • •• ◄ - · · • ·- - • �1be Argus Page 15 January 23. 1992 CLUB NEWS ORSS -· Lu --ACT Hey!

Peter George 11 BREVITY IS THE SOUL OF WIT 11 TWO MAJOR CAMPUS l88UES The two Issues that stand out in my mind are: a) Provincial cut back in education transfer payments. b) Tuition hikes and the freeze on hiring any new faculty. PERCEPTION OJI' THE RELATIONSHIP The relationship between the two is essential. I cannot stress enough of how Important communication is. We need to work together to make the change required. We are a team and without team effort nothing is accomplished. • GOALS My goals are to represent the needs and wants of the students and to be accessible! Since Lakehead ts geographically unique, with transportation being by air and car only, posting of exam notices during registration, th1s way you can book the seat sales from the airline. BEST/WORST QUALITY My best qualtties are that I have excellent communication skills and delegate effectively. My downfall is that I get to involved and like to see all projects completed personally. Therefore, time-management ts crucial. A WORDY CANDIDATE 11 Cass Koenen 'IWO MAJOR CAMPUS I88UES 11 The vandaltsm that ts occurring on campus this year has to be one of the largest issues we have had to deal with. The violence and destruction that ts occurring is costing the University and the students of this University more and more money every month. In the past there has always been a history of what has been thought to be act of drunken stupidity. This year however we have seen an increasing number ofdeliberate acts, such as the destruction of the entrance signs. It ts Important that we as students take pride in our University and all :work together to help stop this wave of vandalism. In a time where the government has cut back it's funding towards Universtties we can •not afford to be spending our money on senseless vandalism. The other issue that ts facing the University ts the cutbacks in transfer payments from the government and the seven percent increase in tuition. This past fall, the government "clawed back" money that had already been promised to the University. Last Tuesday the Rae Government announced that they were only Increasing the transfer payments to one percent this year and two pereent for the next two years, tuition was also raised another seven percent. This wUl put the University In a very tight financial situation. What it will mean to the students of Lakehead ts a cut back in services and freeze In the hlrlng of staff and faculty. The tuition increase was only announced for one year, however the transfer payments were announced over a three year period. This will cause the Ontario Council of Universities, the Unions, the faculty associations etc. to put pressure on the government to increase tuition again next year and the year after that to make up for the shortfall. PERCEPTION OJI' THE RELATIONSHIP The relationship between the students and the President of the Student Union ts one where the President acts as a spokesperson and negotiator on behalf of the Students with administration and the Community. It is very important that the President is aware of what the students on campus are feeling and what their needs are. The President often ts the sole representative on Admintstrative committees and 1t is important the s \he represents the views of the students accurately. As well the president acts on behalf of the students in the community at large, the city council and both the Federal and Provincial governments. It is the responsibility of the President to fight council for Student Bus passes, and affordable student housing, to lobby the government against tuition Increases and to make administration aware of what the students of this campus need. I feel that it is the responsibility of the President to make the students on campus aware ofwhat and who LUSU ts and what the Student Union does for them. •. Through thevartous conferences, both the Canadian Federation of Students and the Ontario Federation of Students, and by sitting on Senate Executive and the Decanal Search Committee that ts looking into the restructuring of the department of Professional Studies, I feel.that I have already established these lines of communication and that this experience would be Invaluable In the upco~year. GOALS In the co~ year I would continue to work on several projects that have already been started, those being the student bus pass and affordable student housing. I feel that coalttion building between the faculty association and the other Unions on campus is going to become increasingly important as we need their support to keep tuition increases to zero over the next three years and .I would work towards building those relationships. With the OUTPOST doing as much business as it has over the last four months I feel that it ts important that LUSU looks at future of our business and begin to make some long distance financial planning for our operations. Last year during orientation I started the ground work for a program of patrlng first year off-campus students with upper year students. In the coming year I would like to work towards Improving this program and to generally· make off-campus students feel more apart of the University community in general. Finally, I also will continue to lobby the University for a safer, more secure environment. BEST/WORST QUALITY I feel that my worst quality ts being impatient. I tend to want to do too much myself and have to learn to delegate tasks to others. Over the last year I have gotten better, but could still improve some. My best qualtty is the ability to communicate with administration what the students on this campus need. I have been able to develop the skills necessary to lobby administration 1n· a professional and effective manner. The networking that I have done over the past year has been able to help me serve the students better. 11 Adam Matthews 'IWO MAJOR CAMPUS ISSUES 11 IT S THAT SIMPLE? 11 Eveiyone knows that there are numerous issues to be looked at and dealt with in order to help our students. My major concerns have to deal with the cost of tuition and also affordable housing. Tuition prices and housing costs are increasing eveiy year and numerous people feel there ts nothing they can do about it. well they·re wrong! If I'm elected 111 show you how to do it! - . PERCEPTION OJI' THE RELATIONSHIP """ I feel that the president ofLUSU should be there at all times for the students. The LUSU president ts a voice for the students and Iµ order for the president to voice the students opinions there has to be a constant flow of communtcat;ton. I aiµ prepared to listen and treat each student concern on an PRESl'DENTIAL GOALS Every candidate proposes numerous goals which they promise to ach!eve In the upcoming year, knowing that there ts only a few capable of ach!evlngl Myself on the other hand would like to see an end to the Increasing amount ofvandaltsm, because let's face it it's a waste of our money!

HOCKEY! BEST WORST QUALITY My best and worst quality fall into the same bracket. being that I don't quit.

I feel it's about time LUSU gets someone like myself who ts wtlling to stick their hand in the fan and accomplish something to LAKEHEADI Paul Moniz 11 2ND TRV 11 'IWO MAJOR CAMPUS ISSUES There are 2 major issues facing LU students today. Toe first and most important. will be the reduction of "transfer payments• to universities, recently announced by the Ontario Government. The ramifications from these cuts will drastically effect us considering LU will most likely compensate for the lost revenue by reducing services, not faculty salaries. Services taken for granted like Student Security, the Fieldhouse swtmmlng pool, lntramurals, Varsity sports ect... could be reduced if not eliminated. This is why electing someone who keeps up with current issues and, with the experience to effectively represent your needs, is of essence. Another major issue that cannot be overlooked is the need for an affordable student health plan. Subsidised health care is available through the "Canadian Federation of Students• and I am completely devoted of brtngtng this to a referendum. IfLU students are in favour, then I ensure you that it w1ll be properly administered and quickly Implemented. PERCEPTION OF THE RELATIONSHIP The LUSU President should when possible, be in his/her office to hear student concerns. They should also know exactly who he/she ts (not like the "who ts Ian Middleton• problem) and that the office has an open door policy. It is also imperative that the President voice these concerns at the "Board of Governors· level and, if necessary, take the tnttiative to organize protest rallies. Because the LUSU President is the chief liaison between the students and LU Administration, it is crucial that Information be related back in the form of Argus reports, class visits ect. .. GOALS A number of my goals for the upcoming year is to see a "Travel Cuts• office OD campus so the students may receive discounted air fares. I am also committed to implementing a student health plan for those who need tt and, meeting with the new Thunder Bay mayor to ensure he does not neglect his promises towards affordable student housing and student-rate bus passes. Ensuring that the Outpost does not run a deficit and, obtaining a transmitting licence for our radio station, ts also among my priorities BEST/WORST QUALITY I believe that my best qualtty is that I am focused and persistent. If a concern ts brought to my attention, I wt11 see to tt that its resolved Do matter how long lt takes. Of my worst qualtty, I am unable to pin point anything major which might effect my role as President, yet, I Invite everyone to come and get to know me so you may discover for yourselves. 11 Brian Torry 'IWO MAJOR CAMPUS ISSUES HAIR FORCE 11 The issue of improved Student Services, especially In the area of Health Care and also in off campus housing and improved services. Probably the greatest Issue of present times, is one of exceptional importance, is the disastrous financial situation presented to us through higher tuition and reduced gov't spending and it w1ll be necessary to deal with these problems to ensure continued success for students. PERCEPTION OF THE RELATIONSHIP In recent years LUSU has become more of a giant corporation than a Student Union. Though it ts important to run the organization as a business the LUSU president should be a representative of the students not their CEO. • GOALS -Get students involved in LUSU - pride In LU. -Better off-campus housing services for students -Big brother/sister programs for all departments (voluntary) -Merchandislng/promotioncampatgn to raise awareness within Thunder Bay and other Universities -Upgrading of Residence facilities - allowing married couples to cohabitate in residence -Declare LU bilingual BEST/WORST Q.UALITY Best-hair Worst-hair PROFILE �TheArgus Page 3 January30, 1992 VICE PRESIDENT - FINANCE Tim Dowdy 11 SPACE CONTINUES TO BE A PROBLEM ON CAMPUS.

Tanya Tougas 11 RUNNING FOR VP OUTPOST DEll'ICIT The intent of the OU'IFOST is not that it be supported by additional funds, the OlJTI>OST should be operating at break-even or at a profit And if it is not, it is essential to determine what exactly ls the source of the problem and talce corrective measures to alleviate the financial burden. In light of the recent financial deficit, prtmartly caused by start-up costs of the OlJTI>OST, an Operating Fund has been established for the OUfPOST. The $2 cover-charge collected from non-LU students to the OlJTI>OST will go directly to this fund as well as any surplus (or profits) the OU'IFOST will make. This fund ls a very important financial move for the OUTPOST. This fund will grow to a predetermined level (dollar amount). It is important to have this fund available in the case of an unforseen event so money will be available to cover the daily overhead expenses that must be paid. For example, a situation may arise such as a faculty strike. This may mean many students leave campus, forcing the OUfPOST to be closed for a couple of weeks. It would be a situation like this, not forseeable, that the management of the OurPOST anci LUSU can draw from this fund in order to remain above water until the normal revenues (profits) can be realized from regular operation. When this opera~ng fund reaches the pre-determined level, the money's over and above will go back to the students in the way of new seIVices or events from the OUTPOST. SPACE PROBLEM This year LUSU has had a plethora of new clubs developing on campus. This is great! However, the problem of limited space has magntfted. I have ideas of my own to accommodate this problem. For example. we may. be able to set up a common club headquarters for clubs that don't require as much office space. These clubs can share office equipment, and hold club meetings in the LUSU club room. I feel however, the people involved in clubs are most aware of their requirements and have many ideas of their own. This ls why I intend to organize a con;unlttee of club - Fil reps to address such issues as space, key and funding allocation. GOALS As V.P. Finance, there are many initiatives 1 will address. Among which include: Fall and Summer operations of the OUTPOST. short and long term planning for the OUTPOST and LUSU, Phase II of the Radio Station, and the implementation of a Climbing Wall. As V.P. Finance, I will continue to emphasize funding toward FREE and/or subsidl7.ed ticket prices for events held by the OlJTI>OST. In addition, 1 will support funding of a variety of entertainment. As V.P. Finance This spring I will explore many alternatives for the summer operation of the OU1POST. I feel it is important that we choose an alternative that is flnanctally stable, as well as in the best interest of our shareholders (YOU)! LUSU has undergone substantial growth in infa-structure, prtmartly due to the OUTPOST. At this point, I feel it is essential that as V.P. Finance, I initiate the development of short and long-term planning. In doing so, we can identify any potential opportunities or problems we may face in our operations. Uke you, I don't want any surprises! This coming year, the LU Radio Station will be advancing into Phase II & III. We will be applying for a transmitting license. I feel this is an excellent venture, and will support your views and interests when considering fund allocation. Finally, indMduals on campus are pursuing the implementation of a Climbing Wall. Providing a few wrlnkles are ironed out, I feel this is a good investment for Lakehead Students to talce on. It's a healthy alternative Conn of recreation! BEST/WORST QUALITY My best and worst quality can be seen as similar, that ls I am l1v1ng off campus. This is my best quality because I can best represent the concerns of students from Thunder Bay (like myself) as well as students living off-campus. However, I am aware of the needs and interests of on-campus students, and will be available to see all students.

It was from the vandalism here which saw the expulsion of six students from all parts of residence . I believe their ban is justified and that this action was a step in the right direction. Vandalism is not going to stop and we shouldn't kid ourselves or anyone else. The question arises thus, how far do we go to punish the masses for acts of few, if they can not be found out? I personally do not like the idea of "passing the buck" as it were, it can't even be said that the vandalism taken place on campus is done by our student body. Thus it becomes hard to justify any action against our student community. My best solution is show students right at the beginning of the year the costs of vandalism, the money comes from ie: cutting out offurther and better education and higher student fees. Hey were all adults. Lets act that way! Before we lose prtvileges such as a licensed bar, lets not kid ourselves it could happen! • SOCIAL PROBLEMS I believe that Lakehead has to worry more than just social problems on campus...,What i mean is that, I am particularity concerned about the fact every two days one garbage bin full of good food coming from Versa is thrown away quite hastily. Do we not have a ·shelter" here in ThunderBay? Yes, I believe so! This is a major social problem especially when this campus can come out and provide some very much needed food, it probably wouldn't even cost us anything as they would gladly come to pick it up every day for free. Here we do the community a great service and we as students lend a hand in waste management and we gain in the appreciation of the citizens ofThunderBay, who may now open their doors and homes to future students. As for on campus social problems. I believe that people in different faculties don't know anything or little about another faculty, thus we arrive at the constantly put down of Outdoor recreation students who's course load is two times that of any Arts students. There course sounds easy by name but thats all. Thus basically we have to learn about each other. GOALS Hair cp Walsh 11 THAT S CORRELATIVE POLYPHILOPROGENITIVE TO YOU VANDALISM 11 Christine Fisher 11 We should be using the Argus as a medium for exposing the perpetrator and ensuring that they are persecuted to the full extent of the la~. i would also suggest an increase in student security on the prime nights (thursdays). Vandalism seems to stem from drunken folks' propensity for a primordial response to personal frustration. Perhaps these folks would find other means of venting their frustration (self-manipulation) if they knew that they may be exposed to their peers via the Argus. SOCIAL PROBLEMS Environmental concerns continue to be the most pressing issues on the planet for obvious reasons. At a local level, ECHO)) continues to lead the way with activities such as the upcoming Environmental Awareness Week. The environmental problem is one facet in a greater social problem that can only be resolved through a change in people's thinking. With the rise of grassroots clubs such as B.G.L.L.U., heterosexist and homophobic attitudes may eventually change. If people had a little more humility about themselves and their place in the universe, many would not be as frustrated or insensitive to changing times. Student apathy is obviously a problem which stifles any attempt to eJfect change. An innovative and creative way of approaching the aforementioned social problems will have to be sought. We must·attempt to remove the rigid bind of massproduced solutions. GOALS -As with past years, i'd still enjoy attempting to subvert the dominant paradigm. In the words of NOMEANSNO: Question the answers, stir the solutions: in the end, for light, you must .b urn your conclusions. BEST/WORST QUALITY Best Quality: A humorously creative yet strident belief in reform. Worst Quality: i'm a procrastinator. My goals for the upcoming year are to give students the best responsible secure time that they can achieve in one year and hopefully years to come. Another goal is to ensure that the courses offered in the calender are actually offered in the up coming year for students now find that because of courses not offered the year , disallows them to take a desired course in the next academic year, thus a crucial minn could be lost and future employment as well. BEST/WORST QUALITY My best quality would have to be that i'm very approachable and open to ideas and criticism while maintaining a sense of humour to keep the edge off. My worst quality pushing my point too far, which could be a good thing in the position of V.P. Studentlssues. 11 Craig Grice DOES BO KNOW LUSU? 11 VANDALISM As everyone knows vandalism has become quite a hot topic around campus. Rumours have it, they may even close the Outpost. However, the Outpost is notjust a service to the small handful of people vandalizing but a service to the entire student body. Idealistically, increased security and lighting~ould best solve the problem. Realistically, because of budget constraints, it depends upon the students to take action against vandalism. We must police ourselves. Many concerned students have brought forth the idea of a •crime stopper" program. The university would give a small financial reward for any tips leading to the arrest of a vandal. On a larger scope, it would be most effective for not only the students safety but to the protection of our university community. SOCIAL PROBLEMS Although vandalism is a social issue, there are other social problems which are frequently mentioned. As Residence Programmer, I see a large gap between residance and off-campus student. Both share the university facilities, yet one goes way and one goes the other. As a student senator and residance programmer I have learned concepts that could bridge the two groups. Another social problem is the Outpost. Many people have complained about service items that include food. waitstaff and doorstaff. There are also many complaints I have heard. What I would like to see is more consistency wttl1 service and regulations. Some other socila grievances I would like to deal with are better accessibility for thhe physically challenged, better communication between facilities. and more organized registration week. GOALS As for goals for next year, I would like to see a health plan implemented, and a men's volleyball team. By working with administration I want birthdates on student cards, an increased budget for off campus housing and to increase security regardless of budget constraints. We. must work around the situation to make our campus look and feel safe. BEST/WORST QUALITY As for myself, I would say my worst quality would be the constant work I take on. I have a difllcult time delegating authority. Mt best ·quality would be my dedicated, personable attitude toward every single issue I acquire.

Wlllla111s Beg,oads In theJan.23. 1992 issue of The Argus I ran a stoiyentitled "WUUams and Peterson Leave Volleyball Squad". In that article I took it upon myself to speculate to why Kelly Williams had decided to leave the team as I wrote; "Veteran Kelly Williams has quit the volleyballsquadasofWednesday. It is presumed that WHltams was upset after losing her starting setter position to second year player Jo-Anne Hood." In response Williams pas written a formal letter to myself cx:platntngher situation. As this article originally appeared in the Sports section I feel it is necessary to reprint part of Kelly's letter and I do so at her discretion. Hopefully this letter will clear up the situation.- Sports ed. "'lb.e fact that! am not playing volleyball any longer has absolutely nothing to do with losing my position as setter. As disappointed and upset as I was about the change, I thought that for whatever reasons. Claude naa 111c1ue ct change that was r. best for the team. I accepted this and practised for two weeks, playing over 5 matches ion offside. • OnSaturday. January 18 while playing at home against Windsor I played one set and then found myself sitting on the bench. This is what I was upset about. after putting three and a half years into the volleyball program at LU I felt the last place I deserved to be was on the bench. When I spoke to Claude [Lapre. head coach] on Monday, January 20th concerning my departure from the team, I explained to him that I was unhappy sitting on the bench, however. there were other factors which brought me to my decision." - Kelly Wllllains... -... - - V-Ball Squad Sweeps Waterloo The LU Womens volleyball squad once again asserted itself this past weekend with yet another sweep, this time versus the home Waterloo team. The first match saw the NorWesters play without head coach Claude Lapre, on account of suspension. Lapre, who later wathced the tapes of the games, said the girls "lacked concentration" and took a long time to really get Into the match, although the team was delayed about four hours at the Thunder Bay airport after their plane was struck by the wing of another. The team pulled out a 3-0 set win by scores of 15-13, 15-9 and 15-13. Leading the strike were Kelly Breutigam who had 29 kllls. On Saturday the ladies took the match by an Identical 3-0 set score, w1nn1ng by the scores of 15-12, 15-11 and 157. The LU squad was able to empty the bench and all the ~ ; KERRI-ANNE B~A<?.!fA players made a solid contribution with Kem-Anne Ewa.cha recording a stuff, dig, k1ll and seIVicewtnnerto seal the match 1n only her third time on the court.

While acting. directing, producing. raising a family and travelling abroad, BW Cosby still finds the time to write books. Why does he do it? (you might ask) after reading his latest book entitled Childhood, the answer in his own words ls quite simply •to entertain.• stocy after another - he compares childhood back then with childhood of today. He humorously points out how children have changed from when he was a kid. By g1v1ng insight into tales from his own children, he mocks the difference between then and now. One can only conclude that there ls as confusing a lack of understanding between adult and child back then as there ls today. Cosby's writing ls a lot like his acting. and his stand up. If you are looking for a book rich in plot and literary device perhaps this ls not the novel for you. If however you are in for some light, entertaln1ng reading, look for Bill Cosby, that ls what he does best. Childhood does not have a distinguishable plot, climax, hero or even a lady in distress for that matter, it ls not a romance, a mystery-, or a drama. It ls a very interesting collection of stories from the childhood of Bill Cosby. Cosby relives his boyhood and ls kind enough to share it with the reader in the style he ls famous for. Regardless of how the experience effected him at the time Cosby finds in each situation a abundance of humour and forces the reader to laugh alongwith him. He shares some of his most embarrassing moments, (like bedwetting) and some of his most glorious (such as being a school cross guard): Cosby does not Just tell one BOOGIE CHILLUN' Music: WITH THE HOOK from his style, indeed, sometimes his own songs, incorporating it into their own style, and subsequently releasing records with theiruniquequality to them.

Both the afternoon and evening shows w1ll be FREE of charge. The group focuses on the causes, the problems and the results of deforestation of the rainforests around the world. Although humour ls their presenting technique the importance of the rainforest issue ls very clear. Ruckus in the Rainforest is based out of Guelph and ls associated out of Guelph University. They have gained the reputation of a vecy entertaining yet informative group. Any of the many people who saw them last year, during Lakehead's first annual Environmental Awareness Week, knows the comic quality oftheir performance. This year's performance promises to be even better. The cast contains more people and there are a variety Doors released arrangements of Hooker's composltlons. In fact, Hooker's ortginal "CrawlingKlng Snake", a perfect vehicle for his powerful bark, was the Doors' selection for the bluesy •L.A. Woman· album, yet Hooker reclaims his song with a tremendous performance on •Mr. Lucky•, with help from Keith Richards of the Stones. Hooker has released over 100 albums and has been per-· forming for roughly 50 years. In recent times, he ls not dimlnlshing his production. His 1989 release, the critically acclaimed -Tue Healer·, peaked at 62 on billboard and won him a Grammy for the duet with Bonnie Raitt of his classic, •rm in the Mood•, which, amazingly, was done 1n only one take. Other performers came out in support. like Carlos Santana, Robert Cray and Canned Heat, yet the album's most powerful tracks occur in his solo tracks, like the brilliant piece of reminiscence (orls it pinlng?) oflost of new skits.

STBANGIATO: ti tDoiee fiom ~e smljettb Uubleri~ by B. Ziggy .Emmanuel Overdrive, J 992. The stranger took me by surprise as I tottered out of the Argus office. He was concealed behind one of the mammoth orange refuse oontainers that so enthusiastically dominate the Vending Room. Out he sprang, clutching a cheap handgun. Was some gun control coalition shooting a commercial at my expense? Hts gun went off, the bullet struck me square in the belt buckle and !mocked me flat onto the Vending Room Floor. I cringed as he loomed over me, preparing the coup de grace. "You're not Brian B.. • he sakl. "You·re no Jack Ruby your-self,• I replied. The bullet had ricocheted Into a coffee machine and now fresh versa-brewed mud was pouring out onto the floor. A couple of bearded students In engtneertngjackets were helpIng themselves. My assaulter offered a hand which I graciously refused. BrushJng off any of hJs halfwitted apologies, I hastened to the bookstore, where I fantasized about the textbooks I couldn't afford. Then it was off to the Agora. where now I sit composing. Apparently there's a little too much empty space here in the Agora. The space committee, an agoraphobic organtzaUon presumably In charge of such things, has decreed that a lot of this empty space be destroyed to make way for~fl.clal trees, plants, furniture, and Looking Up magazine stands. I wonder if the space committee Is aware of a more sert- ous empty-space excess on campus. On Analyst Annie's mailbox, to be exacl AA ls getting awfully lonely here. When questioned about the situation, WSU president Ian Middleton ctted the Nattve Student's proposed Pow-wow and ECHO's EnvlronmentalAwarenessdJsplay as events that may suffer from the empty space clestructton. Presumably, all such events could be moved to other high-traffic areas such as the tunnel Just outside the LUSU office or the dance floor of the Outpost. The Outpost has also been generating opinions among the socially conscious Joumallsts of Thunder Bay. When I sat down In the space-dominated Agora today, the first thing I noticed was a trampled bit of newsprint covered in mud and graffiti at my feel Ithadseemed unimportant at the time, but now, as I examine it, what should It be but a copy of the January 10th Chronicle Journal? The word 'pub' was featured on the oplnlon page. I scanned the underlying edltortal. The uncredited author of the piece was under the delusion that the 'Post was built from taxpayer's dollars. Yes, this ls circuitously true, as a great number of students are now mournfully taxed on their OSAP loans, and no student can escape the almlghty GST. Student Union electlons are next week: even though I have little faith in democracy as practised by the U.S., C~ada, and LUSU, I will vote and I encourage you to do so as well. Which ls worse, voting a few loose cannons Into posltlons of au- thority or not havtng the opportunity to dump those same cannons the next year? As Steve Earle says, "If you don't vote, don't bitch.• From the Agora I can look up and see that I'm in the shadows of the Exam office. Perhaps someone up there will tell me why I'm not allowed to write my supplemental (whoops, special) examination untll July when I've had an ample chance to forget everything I didn't know the first time. Maybe It's because I'll be working full time and I'll be able to afford my textbook. Maybe on another day I'll go up there. This orgy of opinion has left me famished.

The two most popular TEDs currently advertised are Thigh Master (plugged by Suzanne Somers) and Thigh Ton~r. From these commercials, 1t would seem that thighs are the trendy part of the anatomy right now. Fat, flabby thighs are out and well-toned thighs are in. However, a big problem with TEDs ts they only concentrate on flabby thighs. After people use these devices their thighs become toned, but what about their double chins, their droopy butts and most Importantly, their beer bellies? I can Just Imagine TED users' friends saying, •Gee, she's got a nice pair of thighs, but get a load of that beer belly.• So Individuals seeking the perfect body must watt for as yet uninvented devices such as the Chin Chiseler, Butt Buster and Belly Beater. Another problem for TED users ts the Oprah Effect. This condition ls named In honour of the talk show host, Oprah Winfrey. You will remember that Oprah went on a liquid diet and after a couple months, she almost disappeared, and became lmown as Uttle Opie to thousands of adortng fans. However, when she went off that diet, she practically doubled In size and earned the nickname, The Grand 01' Oprah. Ollat terrible pun ls for all the Counuy and Western fans out there). This boomer• ' ang process became known as the Oprah Effect. and it applies to anyone who stops using some trendy diet food or exercise device. For TED users, it means that once they, stop using their TEDs, their thighs will became twice as flabby as they were originally. Although most women will probably quit using thelr1EDs shortly after purch.a stng them, dlehard users who over-In-. dulge 1n the thigh-enhancing process will develop more than toned thighs. After a while their •• 1egs will look like those of female Bulgarian shotputters. You lmow the kind of legs I mean, like Arnold Schwarzenegger's -- all lmotted With veins sticking oul And women purchaslng1EDs probably don't want legs like that. That's why I think 1EDs should be promoted to people Interested 1n body building. Arnold Schwaneneggerwould be an excellent spokesman for such devices. He could hold up a 1ED and say something like. "Look at my thighs. Are zey not bulging and taut? If you vantmanly thighs Ukemlne you must buy zls or you vlll have liWe gtrly-man thighs for the rest of your pathetic Ufe and ze girls will loff atyou on ze beach.

Said Cass Koenen, V.P. Stuqent Issues: -We have 83 students going; the second bus is ftve short of being ftlled. • Koenen will be accompanying the trip. Previous to this year applicaUons were received from students who were supposed to be in charge and monitor the trip on behalf of LUSU. -We had some complaints last year•.

When asked about inquiries into why there were no applications for the spring break chaperons. Koenen replied that it was important to LUSU that "somebody who organized the trip and was involved with it from the very beginning and understands everything that will be happening will be down there to cover any problems that may occur." Gratis trips are given by the travel company when a certain number of students are signed up. Koenen's passage to Daytona is provided by one of the gratis trips.

February third is the final day for spring break stgn-ups. $1551.00. support. funding and collaboration betweenLUSU and the Gender Issues CoOrdinator are to blame for problems surrounding LUSU's new Gender Issues Centre. Students are frustrated by the centre not being open when they need to use it during regular school hours. Blame can be mostly laid on LUSU. Due to financial restraints. the Board of Directors and the Financial Management Committee decided to only hire a part time Co-ordinator for the centre. Valerie Lelleva. the person hired, has been working for the required 15 hours per week since the summer and more. As a result Lelleva was given vacation time during the week before and the two weeks after the Christmas Break. At the January 16. 1992 Board of Directors meeting. a motion was put forth by Cass Koenen. V.P. Student Issues. to increase Lelleva's status to full time. The motion was put on hold until a full evaluation ofthe centre is completed. Currently. Lelleva is in the centre for ftve hours per day for three days a week. On the other two days it was hoped that volunteers would keep the centre open. nus has not been the case to date. According to Koenen. U):SUhoped that the "centre would be able to be open fullUme with volunteer support. but unfortunately we haven't had that base support around." Lelleva agrees adding that the volunteers who did work in the centre were unsupervised and not really clear on what they had to do. Another major problem cited by Lelleva was a lack of "collaboration between Cass and myself." According to Koenen. the major problem is confusion caused by a lack of advertising. she stated "I think that ... we haven't advertised it enough. I'm not sure everybody knows why its there and what out there for." Note: Ms.Lelleva has resigned her position! ----------------------------------------------------· ·-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------· ·---------------------------------------------------:---------=--:.-=-------=--=---=-----=----=------ __.. -J I "'-:.•--==-----=-----------=-----=--=----:.-----= -------------------~--~~-~-----~--------------------· ·----------------------·-· ----------------------------------------· --· _, ------------------· ·----------------------~ -------------------· --------------------------------------· --· ·-------------------------------------------------------------- -·-· ----· ----------------------· ·--------------------~ ---------------------·---------------------------------------------------------------~-----------------------------· ·-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------· ·-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------· •-■-------------------------------------------------•-----•• --·-· --·----~1--• -----· __--, ~"i:ir -·• --·• -•■ 11---·------·i ----A ---• --· -_... &.Ji!' --~-.

Confederation College students can no longer enter the Outpost just by showing the pub staff their student cards. The motion passed at the last LUSU Board meeting states that any non-Lakehead student must pay a $2.00 cover charge to enter the pub. Unfortunately, non-LU students include staffand alumni. The motion passed 18/2. Opposed to the motion were Ian Middleton, who voted by proxy, and Sara Friar. Ttm Fleguel and Robin Squires also opposed the motion, yet neither were present for the vote. Greg Beckford and cass Koenen put forth the motion. Beckford supported the motion I with a 500 name petition signed by students living In residence. Jeft'Dockerty, pub manager, commented that this was a good motion in some respects. Dockerty argued It would be in the Outpost's interest if Sharky's (Con College's pub) were to stay open, as the two barssplitthecostsofimporttng various groups or comedians. Dockerty also felt that people would come to The Outpost, even ff they have to pay the $2 cover charge, as the pub is a popular novelty in Thunder Bay. However, as a long term arrangement. this policy could be damaging. Dockerty pointed out this would be one of the vecy few pubs in Ontario that have a cover charge, and that could hurt business during the spring break and especially during the summer. He commented thatasLU students go home for the break, and students from Thunder Bay, attendingotheruniversitles, come home, there will be a drop in business, as no one is here to sign in the non-LU students. Board member Friar said, "The repercussions of this motion should be thoroughly investigated before any Irrevocable diun1gc ts done to the important relationship between LU and Con College (students). I wouldn't tell my best friend off over a drink.• ... , PUB ,RESTRICTIONS CONDEMNED BY LUSU PRESIDENT byR. Murphy Ian Middleton, Lakehead University Student Union (LUSU)presldent, condemned the LUSU Board of Directors (BOD) motion to raise barriers to admission to The Outpost, the LUSU operated pub in the new Students Centre. He was unable to attend the meeting, Januacy 23, 1992, because of his attendance at an Ontario Federation of Students conference at the University of Guelph, but did cast one of two dissenting votes by proxy. In an interview after reading the minutes, Middleton remarked that, as the motion currently reads, • ... this means that at any time, faculty and staffhave to pay $2 to come in here (The Outpost) ... the Chairman of The Board of Governors, who technically owns this building, can'tcometnherewithout paying $2. Bob Rosehart (Lakehead University President) can't come in here for a coffee unless he pays $2. There is no time limit.• Middleton was referring to the fact that there is no mention of hours of enforcement in the new LUSU Outpostpolicy'Technically it (the policy) came into force as soon as it passed the board• "I have lived here 1n Thunder Bay all my life. Some high school friends went to work, some went to other universities, some went to Con (Confederation) College. LUSU ts telling me that I can't bring my best friend in here (The Outpost) without them paying the $2. This motion is a slap in the face of evecy student from Thunder Bay.• Middleton made a reference to Alumni by saying that •:.some of whom have paid much more tbward'ti 'tlie 'Sttlctc!rttii . :.C!ntft! • than any first year student, cannot come in here without paying $2 and being signed in?I• Middleton also attacked the motion because of the lack of consultation with the students and other interested groups, when this policy was being considered •.. administration, who holds the liquor license, was not consulted. There was no consultation with Confederation College Students Union. What happens in the summerttmer Middleton also questioned the residence angle--• ...where will all the residence students bethenr Mtddletonalsoreferred to The Study, which was the notoriously crowded pub operated by LUSU before The Outpost opened. 'There was no outccy then ... • said Middleton. ·1 don'tknowaboutMcMaster orTrent (universities), because I have not been there, but I have not been to any other (postsecondaiy) institution in Ontario that does this. Only grad student associations tend to do this.• He explained that for many years LUSU has tried to foster closer relations with the Confederation College student's union and that this motion does nothing to help. Middleton said, "We have visited their Board of Directors and, with their president, made joint presentations toThunder Bay City Council. We made one about student fares for dty transit, and one to form a committee to develop affordable student housing. The housing proposal was rejected so we formed our own committee that includes representatives from the administrations of both institutions. For years we have tried to work out a reciprocity agreement over athletic f'acilities. It is currently 1n place for faculty and staff.• Middleton has decided not to seek office again next year, but will be working toward the reevaluation of this policy.

And so, on Friday the 24th, over fifty angxy Con College students were turned away at the door. And those fifty students took with them when they left a new image of the Outpost. No more is it, to them, a great place to go and drink and dance and spend their money. It is now a place reserved for the privileged few who hold L.U. student cards. And you can bet that the new image of the Outpost was passed on to their friends and to theirfriendsandsoonandsoon. Andratherthanspendtheirmoncy in the Outpost they will now spend their money at the lnntowner or at Gilley••· •5o wha~ you ask. ·u·s not their bar, it's ours.• You're right. Itis. But when you go away for spring break, or when the Outpost has a bad week, or when summer comes, we may well depend on the business of the college students. And we will probably change our policy again to allow them. But they may not come back Just because we're whining that we need them. They may never come back. And that ■ An open message to all LU.Students: Have you ever signed a stranger into tlie Outpost? It's really no big deal. After all, what are the chances that the individual you sign in is going to beat someone up, break something, or piss on the dance 0oon' I don't pretend to lmow. • But I do lmow this. L.U. studentshad better start signing Confederation College students in. Because until now, the College students have been let in at par with L. U. students. And in one fateful vote at the LUSU Board of Directors meeting on Thursday the 23rd, that privilege was taken away. Not because it was being misused. But because the lineups on the weekends were too long after eight o'clock; and L.U. students couldn't get into their own bar. So now, on all Thursday nights, and on all weekend nights when the varsity basketball team is playing at home, Con College students must be signed in in order to gain entrance. No one talked to the College lemforLUSU. And.neediremfnd you, LUSU is you. • So, the next time you see a ConfederaUon College student being turned away at the door of the Outpost, take them UD4er your wing and a1gn them In for the night. Show the College students that L.U. students aren't really so bad, and do a good deed for the Outpost and for LUSU. Lord lmows the Board of Directors didn't. Robin A.

La.st year fan support was awesome, and even though I wasn't a student I attended, and had a great time. The first couple of games this year did lack fan support, but this past weekend's games were super! I have only one small problem with the fans, thatl've noticed through two years of attending the games. IfLU is losing near the end, eveiyone gets up and leaves.

On another note, whether it's just apathy (but rd rather believe it's Just plafn1gnorance) students here at LU. have no concept of what happens to the cans after they're placed into the appropriate bins. VIDEO -? Regarding my concerns regarding the monies generated by video games. The reply by Cass Koenen, Vice-President Student Issues confirms my concerns over theapparentlackofcontrolsLUSU has over the entire video game operation. I am nm. concerned and may I repeat. I am nm concerned whose machines and pool tables at LU. I am only concerned over the lack of controls which should be present in any business operation whtch deals in cash in the thousands of dollars. Presently, as indicated, these are no controls in effect except for a 'superficial' check of materials. How does LU "check" the return on pool tables? Tony LeBlanc mentioned the difference in monies generated by thepresentvendorversus the previous vendor. l believe this figure is an error and not taken from the books. Regardless, Tony does not indicate that the previous vendor was only allowed 10 machines versus today's 30 or 40 plus the enrolment is approximately 50% higher today than previously. If this is prorated, is LU receiving maximum return per machine as previously? As indicated earlier, let's be sure maximum dollars are being generated for the students. Any well_run professional business does not run on trust, They run on controls. As a suggestion, LUSU should keep their own records, sheetswith meter numbers recorded weekly in the presence ofvending people during pick-up of monies. Monies from pool tables should be picked up in labelled bags and rolled in the presence of L-U,Su reps immediately after plck-up. Surely, the hour necessaiy to put these controls in operations are worth the time and effort to assure proper collection and asse8Sment for now and in the future. In God we trust, maybeworks for Americans but good business sense is to limit or elfmfnate trust and temptation. C'mon WSUI We are future leaders of Canada.

ROCK THE VOTE! -MTV Student Perspective T!!J~!J!'!l.~<?n~'!!!~~ a system of social organization based on the ideals of domination and competition rather than co-operation have produced an ecological crisis that threatens our very existence. Humanity is now faced with a crisis that transcends theboundariesofanyonefteldofstudy. Thesolutiontothis many faceted problem lies not only in rectifying the abuses in the ecological domain but more importantly, in assessing the ideological faults of the social, political and economic domains. The class structure of society is a competitive hierarchy: each level of the hierarchy continually strives to outcompete each other to maintain or increase its influence and power on each successive layer. Our political system is a reflection of this competitiveness; It is a system we call capitalism, orfree enterprise. In North.America this system - of political organization tends to be dangerously headIng towards a plutocracy rather than evolving into an egalitarian d~mocracy. Competitive free enterprise is retarding the process of social and political evolution. In our society the values of mutual co-operation, spiritual satisfaction and intellectual development have been stifled and even replaced by economic competition. material satisfaction as a means to happiness and the repression of the intellect, denying its development to be an integral part of the development of the whole self. The void of intellectual development has been filled with what can be referred to as )unk ideas•, intellectually comparable to the.nutiitive emptiness ofJunk food. This junk ideas are the mindless media productions on our television and radio, which are meant only to reinforce our sense of security in what the capitalist state considers socially and morally right. The people who hold positions of power and wealth in today's society are completely dependent on the preservation of the system of domination and of social and economic inequality to maintain their positions of power and wealth. In doing so, they advance the complexly intertwined ecological and social crisis to appalling and dangerous proportions. The greatest threat to this system of social, political and economic inequality is the development of the individual's ability to reason, to critically assess every aspect of society which the bulk of humanity has formerly accepted unquestioned as being the unalterable laws governing our existence. Our political system allows for a very small proportion of society to control a very large portion of its wealth; there is social inequality and injustice. human beings have become commodl8ed, reduced to an equation and absorbed into the colossal machinery of the capitalist system. Reason and critical thought shows us that this system of intellectual and social repression should not and will not indefinitely exist. It ls therefore in the best interest of the ruling class to stifle intellectual development, because it threatens the existence of that very class. Our schools do not teach us critical thought or reason. rather, we are taught to function within the system. how to think like the status quo and at the same time it offers humanitywith the-greatest opportunity for ecological and social salvation. Our own freedom rests in our ability to free ourselves from the confines and constraints. both physical and intellectu.al. of the existing intellectually repressive system. We stand on the threshold of the greatest social revolution of all time, rectifying our ecological abuses is a healing process that transcends the boundaries of any one field.. The healing of the Earth involves eliminating poverty. social inequality, economic abuse and above all replacing ignorance with enlightenment, exchanging blind acceptance with questioning and substituting intuition with reasoning. This next social revolution offers humanity with the opportunity for true equality and happiness. British conservationist Norman Moore said it best when he said that the universal acceptance of conservation ls one of the most potent political forces since Mamsm. but one that wlll ultimately unite rather than divide humanity. OlqfJensen I I ELECTION -PREDICTIONS 3:25 A.M. Less than half an hour ago I saved a new file in place. of my800word editorial. Irresponsibleyes. Correctable No. 11:·s probably unprofessional to even be discussing this in print, but Ijust thought I'd let you lmow I had tried. Here's a quick summary. The LUSU elections for the Executive will be held Febmary 4 & 5 next week. 13 people are running for three positions. Show you care, educate yourself, read the Argus, phone the candidate etc. Don't forget to vote. Turnout last year was approximately 18%. Let's get off this apathy train. Here's a list of suspected results going in to the candidate's forum yester.day (projected by committee). President: VP Finance: VP Stud~t Issues: Koenen, Cass Tougas, Tanya Fisher, Christine Moniz, Paul Tilbury, Mark Grice, Craig George, Peter Dawdy, Tim Walsh, Colin Torry, Brian Hergott, Mike Klimushko, Chris Matthews. Adam Aft~r the forum, the deck was shuffled a bit based on performance. President: Koenen is still the candidate to beat. Moniz and Tony are the main challengers. George has slipped. and Matthews may not be able to climb out of last place after alienating certain clubs. VP - F: Tilbury staged a strong charge and has made this essentially a two way race between himself and Tougas. Dawdy and Hergottmade a good showingforthemselves but a win seems unlikely at this point. VP - SI: Fisher's strong base in rez could carry her. but an unspectacular forum performance has opened the door for a dark horse candidate such as Walsh orKlimushkotomake a surprising breakthrough. Grice was inconsistent. In this race fourth is as hard to call as first. This could be the most interesting race. The vote is less than a week away. and political fortunes can rise and fall many times in just a few days. Early indications point towards an all female executive, but we won't lmow for sure until Wednesday night. The results will be available in the Argus next Thursday. TGB VOTE! 3:42AM (327words) POTENTIAL ELECTION PROBLEM Argus News Staff Editorial/News Item Questions have been raised regarding the "Tougas Two Buck" coupon being used by VP Finance Candidate Tanya Tougas on the flipside of her election handbills. Each handbill contains a $2.00 coupon on it that can be redeemedatalocalrecordstoiefromFebruary 10-22, 1992. The questions raised in regards to this questioned whether this campaign was akin to "pork barrel politics" or "vote buying". If this is in fact the case, evidence indicates that Tougas, . an aclmowledged frontrunner, is not at fault. ln a conversation with an Argus reporter Tougas pointed out that her campaign idea was cleared by the LUSU Elections Committee. a fact confirmed by Chief Returning Officer Rick Cox. When Cox was asked about the "vote buying" allegation. he said that the coupon did not contravene specific LUSU policy regarding elections. He also aclmowledged that the Election Committee did not confirm the legality of this practice with the Ontario Elections Act. Tougas printed approximately 600 coupons. but she says that she has not distributed them in wide quantities yet. She also mentioned that if one of her fellow candidates had a problem with them she would not distribute them on campus. Tougas defended the coupons saying that they reflected her "innovation" and "originality" which she would bring to her job if elected. If she distributes a large portion of her coupons and goes on to win the election, the possibility exists that the election could be contested if the Ontario Elections.A'ct does prohibit ···carnpatgntngpractices of~ ~U!. -------·---·· ... - - . . rni.:.m,:.m.. ,. ,,.. ,.,._., ,,.,.... • • ·• ••• ·--- --··- · ·- · ···· ·· -· • - • �Toe Argus Page 6 January 30. 1992 SPORTS Redskins Do111inate Bills to Win Super Bowl XDI Mens Baskethall Squad Drops a Pair atH01ne by Anthony Hewitt Toe mens basketball team dropped their record to 3-3 with two home losses to McMaster University this past weekend.

CP'S SPORTS EATING TIP The recent candidates forum reminded me of a vigorous hockey game in the Montreal Forum. Although i've never witnessed a game in the Forum. i felt invigorated during the forum. Canada Dry ginger ale: Good forum-in and forum-out. by Ian T. Fero As a little side bet between Travis and myself concerning our official predictions on Super Bowl XXVI. in last weeks issue, we decided that the loser would write a review of the game, hence the burden has fallen upon my shoulders. First of all I would like to apologize for a brutal prediction on my part, an NFL guru it seems I am not. From the outset the game was a lock for the 'Skins. The way I see it was a combination of ,the Redskins doing everything they needed to do. and the Bills doing everything they shouldn't have. The hoITid performance of the Bills seems to stem from three factors: 1) Jim Kelly-I knew when I saw him running out on to the field that he Just wasn't primed. he never was. He threw a Super Bowl record four INT s to an opportunistic 'Skins defence and was 0 • never able to hit his receiversfor any real gains, as well Kelly could assemble no prolonged drives. 2) Thurman Thomas-was he in the bloody game? I didn•t even notice him. The self proclaimed "MichaelJordan of the Bills" did absolutely nothingtoliveuptohisown billing. I feel bad for picking him as a decisive factor. 3) The inability ·of the defence to shut down the Mark Rypien passing attack. I totally underestimated Rypien and the Posse, you•d think the Bills would have figured out the 'Skins pass orientated offence but they didn't. The Bills may have the best front seven in the NFL, but the other four were brutal although the line managed to put some quality pressure on Rypien. It seems Travis had the correct formula for success in predictlngWashington's decisive factors. unlike myself who seemed to devise an idealistic game plan. if the Bills could have done half of what I thought they were going to it would have been a lot closer. Oh well! I hope none ofyou readers lost money on my account. Hats off to Rypien and the 'Skins. as well as my colleague Mr. Belrose. All I have to say is watch out for the Lions in '93.

They feel that If they are elected, then they could work together and get things doril : _ Tony opposed the pub policy ofchargtnga $2 cover charge to all non-LU students. Tony felt that this was insulting towards the Confederation College students and all those living in Thunder Bay. He also said that it was bad bustness, as we need the Con College student dollars in the Pub, especiallyin the summermonths, when there are few LU students to gtve the place business. Tony felt that because of this and other problems on campus, LU's reputation in Thunder Bay is not as good as it could be. Peter George. George. who was appointed to the BOD on February 14 of last school year. George said that he sits on the Flnancial Management Committee (FMC) and Policy Development and Review (PD&R). and various Senate committees. George supported such things as Study renovation, and said he suggested to Tony LeBlanc that a student work program be initiated to do the work on the Study. The collective agreement with the unions on campus state that this work is to be done by union people. George said that he opposed the WUSC program that would sponsor two refugee students to attend LU. He said that he could not agree with a program that wastes$11,000ofstudentmoney. The WUSC proposal asks for $6,000 over a two year period, meantngLUSU would have to pay $3,000 next year. Steary, Noel Ward, n-<Wis Belrose. VP J'Df.Al'fCE: 11mDawdy. He ts a second year rep for LU Business Association, and a BOD member this year. After a brief explanation of his qualitlcations, Dawdy proceeded to explain his goals for LUSU as an executive. Dawdy supported the $15,000 plan for. a proposed climbingwall, which was put forth to the BOD by the Alpine Club on Januaiy 16. No vote was taken on the proposal. Dawdy argued that at the beginning of the year we paid a (sic) $75 student fee. For this reason, he felt that prices in the pub should be lowered, and more entertainment should be offered in the pub, and some of that should be free. Dawdy supported the Travel Cuts office at Lakehead University. Mike Hergott. "Vote for Hair," was repeated by the second candidate of the "Hair Slate." Hergott, a second year Outdoor Recreation student, promised his support for clubs. He felt this support should not necessarily mean the funding of these clubs. Each club on campus should be able to fund-raise, yet Hergott stated that he would continue to fund LU clubs. Cue Koenen. Pete George Prez Cass Koenen Prez Koenen opened with a list of qualiftcations for the Job as LUSU president. Koenen has been on the BOD for two years, and this year she sezved as VP Student Issues. She also sits on PD&R, and is an active member on many other committees and organizations, like SUDS and COCA. Koenen announced that her main priority would be to fight high tuition for the student body as a lobbyist. Koenen also said she would like to work with city council to improve the situation for students in Thunder Bay. When listing her accomplishments, Koenen cited the Mentor , Program, whichshesaidshewould like to see continued. Adam Matthews. Matthews admitted that he had no experience with LUSU and student politics, but he said that this would give him a fresh unbiased perspective as President. Matthews supported LUSU's new pub policy, which limlts non-LU students, saying thattt can create a yearly income of $15,000 to supplement the Pub's million dollar budget. Matthews said that he applled foraJobattheOutpost.yethewas turned down. Matthews, who manages a similar operation at home, felt that he was turned down because his knowledge of pub operations may conflict with that of the pub manager. Matthews also supported the climbing wall which was proposed to LUSU recently, yet not voted on. Matthews felt that this would increase enrolment in Outdoor Recreation. Administration has placed a cap on enrolment in this school, as it ts already full. Throughout his sp~ech, Matthews campaigned against vandalism. Paul Moniz. Moniz, who has sat on the BOD for two years, was a CFS and OFS delegate, and sits on several committees, including FMC. Moniz wishes to see a Travel Cuts office created on campus. This office deals with various companies to offer student travel discounts. Many Thunder Bay business have previously stated that , they would not give Travel Cuts any special consideration. Also, in order for Travel Cuts to consider an office, they must be guaranteed $2 million in sales, which LU cannot provide. Moniz also promised he would campatgnforcheaperstudentbus passes.

On the spacing issue, Tilbwy felt that the .Aesthetics Lounge could be turned into good club space. This area has been noted for its poor ventilation. and it has been suggested asa possible sight fortheproposedPeerCouncilcentre. Tilbwy also felt that the office of Summer Manager should be created for clubs. He commented that AIESEC benefited from such a post. The hiring of 30 Summer Managers for each club on campus could prove to be an expensive venture. Tilbury comqiented on the problem with the Student Handbooks being so late. He felt that LUSU using a firm that was farther away from Thunder Bay was irresponsible. Ifa nearby firm wold have been used then the books would have been available sooner. The main reason provided by the LUSU executive was that this year's firm was used because they printed the books on recyclable paper. Tanya Tougas.

H.B. All the candidates at the Forum agreed they would work closely with the auditors, as they consider their recommendation invaluable. All of the candidates also agreed on the issue of clubs. They would like to see the clubs get involved more on their own fund-raising, yet they promised flnancial or moral support for all LU clubs. W STUDENT ISSUES: Christine Fisher. Flsherbeganbyexplaintngthe experience that she has accumulated as a leading figure in residence. She was the Residence Programmer and was heavily involved in Orientation. She also has experience on various committees and she stt.s as a student senator. Immediately, Ftsherrewgnised the problem with the professor evaluation forms, whichare being abused and misused by the staff. Fisher would like to see these forms becoming important in the evaluation of profs by the deans. yet she admitted this would be hard work, but she was committed to it. Fisher was also embarrassed at the lack of wheelchair accessabillty in the university. She commented that she would like to see something done, spectflcally, an elevator made available so that disabled students can go from the Agora to the cafeteria without any problem. Craig Grice. Grice commented on the problem of vandalism and the image thatiscreatinginthemindsofthe citizens of Thunder Bay. He also felt the pub policywas disgraceful and a slap in the face not to Just Confederation College students, but of university students evecywhere. Grice also complained about he poor advertising of the Winter :::arruval, and commented on how >f all the classes that he had lisited, only a handful ofstudents Nere aware of the events of that :fay, and only one knew how to register for specific events. GricecomplainedaboutVersa Foods, accusing them of wasting food that could be donated to shelters in Thunder Bay. Grlce's final comments were on orientation. Grice felt that orientation was good for those living in restdence, yet those living offcampus were left out. and have no idea of what ts going on. Here, Grice felt that the faculty could announce what ts going on over the orientation period. Chris Klimusbko.

We are a team and without team effort nothing ts accomplished. • GOALS My goals are to represent the needs and wants of the students and to be accessible!

Therefore, time-management is crucial. A WORDY CANDIDATE" 11 Cass Koenen TWO MAJOR CAMPUS ISSUES The vandalism that ts occurring on campus this year has to be one of the largest issues we have had to deal with. The violence and destruction that is occurring ts costing the University and the students of this University more and more money every month. In the past there has always been a history of what has been thought to be act of drunken stupidity. This year however we have seen an increasing number ofdeliberate acts, such as the destruction of the entrance signs. It is important that we as students take pride in our University and all :work together to help stop this wave of vandalism. In a time where the government has cut back it's funding towards Universities we can •not afford to be spending our money on senseless vandalism. The other Issue that is facing the University ts the cutbacks in transfer payments from the government and the seven percent increase in tuition. This past fall, the government "clawed back" money that had already been promised to the University. Last Tuesday the Rae Government announced that they were only increasing the transfer payments to one percent this year and two perrent for the next two years, tuition was also raised another seven percent. This Will put the University in a very tight financial situation. What it will mean to the students of Lakehead is a cut back in services and freeze in the hiring of staff and faculty. The tuition increase was only announced for one year, however the transfer payments were announced over a three year period. This will cause the Ontario Council of Universities, the Unions.the faculty associations etc. to put pressure on the government to increase tuition again next year and the year after that to make up for the shortfall. PERCEPTION OF THE RELATIONSHIP The relationship between the students and the President of the Student Union ts one where the President acts as a spokesperson and negotiator on behalf of the Students with administration and the Community. It ts very important that the President ts aware of what the students on campus are feeling and what their needs are. The President often is the sole representative on Administrative committees and it is important the s \he represents the views of the students accurately. As well the president acts on behalf of the students in the community at large, the city council and both the Federal and Provincial governments. It is the responsibility of the President to fight council for Student Bus passes, and affordable student housing, to lobby the government against tuition increases and to make administration aware of what the students of this campus need. I feel that it is the responsibillty of the President to make the students on campus aware ofwhat and who WSU is ~d what the Student Union does for them. . Through the various conferences, both the Canadian Federation ofStudents and the Ontario Federation of Students, and by sitting on Senate Executive and the Decanal Search Committee that ts looking into the restructuring of the department of Professional Studies, I feel.that I have already established these llnes of communication and that this experience would be invaluable in the upcoming year. GOALS In the coming year I would continue to work on several projects that have already been started, those being the student bus pass and affordable student housing. I feel that coalition building between the faculty association and the other Unions on campus is going to become increasingly important as we need their support to keep tuition increases to zero over the next three years and .I would work towards building those relationships. With the OUTPOST doing as much business as it has over the last four months I feel that it ts important that LUSU looks at future of our business and begin to make some long distance financial planning for our operations. Last year during orientation I started the ground work for a program of pairing first year off-campus students with upper year ~tudents. In the coming year I would like to work towards improvtng this program and to generally make off-campus students feel more apart of the University community in general. Finally, I also will continue to lobby the University for a safer, more secure environment. ,B EST/WORST QUALITY I feel that my worst quality is being impatient. I tend to want to do too much myself and have to ,earn to delegate tasks to others. Over the last year I have gotten better, but could still improve some. My best quality is the abillty to communicate with administration what the students on this campus need. I have been able to develop the skills necessary to lobby admintstratlon in•a professional and effective manner. The networking that I have done over the past year has been able to help me seive the students better. 11 11 '' Adam Matthews TWO MAJOR CAMPUS ISSUES IT S THAT SIMPLE? 11 JMreiyone knows that there are numerous issues to be looked at and dealt with in order to help our students. My major concerns have to deal with the cost of tuition and also affordable housing. Tuition pri_c es and housing costs are increasing every year and numerous people feel there is nothing they can do about it, well they're wrong! If I'm elected 111 show you how to do it! -=PERCEPTION OF THE RELATIONSHIP I feel that the president ofLUSU should be there at all times for the students. The LUSU president ts a voice for the students and in o~~r for the president to voice the students opinions there has to be a constant flow of communlcatiori. I am prepared to listen and treat each student concern on an PRESl'DENTIAL GOALS Every candidate proposes numerous goals which they promise to achieve in the upcoming year, knowing that there is only a few capable of achieving! Myself on the other hand would like to see an end to the increasing amount ofvandalism, because let's face it it's a waste of our money! Ifl have to go as far as to patrol the campus myself to catch the vandals I will! Also let's work toward a Varsity team that the spectators and players of LU have been waiting for for years ... HOCKEY! BEST WORST QUALITY My best and worst quality fall into the same bracket. being that I don't quit. When I see something capable of achieving I go after it until I achieve it even if it gets myself in trouble. I feel it's about time LUSU gets someone llke myself who is willing to stick their hand in the fan and accomplish something to LAKEHEADI Paul Moniz 11 2ND TRV 11 TWO MAJOR CAMPUS ISSUES There are 2 major issues facing LU students today. The first and most important. will be the reduction of "transfer payments· to universities, recently announced by the Ontario Government. The ramifications from these cuts will drastically effect us considering LU will most likely compensate for the lost revenue by reducing services, not faculty salaries. Services taken for granted llke Student Security, the Fieldhouse swimming pool, intramurals, Varsity sports ect... could be reduced if not ellminated. This ts why electing someone who keeps up with current issues and, with the experience to effectively represent :,our needs, is of essence. Another major issue that cannot be overlooked is the need for an affordable student health plan. Subsidised health care is available through the "Canadian Federation of Students" and I am completely devoted of bringing this to a referendum. IfLU students are in favour, then I ensure you that it will be properly administered and quickly implemented. PERCEPTION OF THE RELATIONSHIP The LUSU President should when possible, be in his/her office to hear student concerns. They should also know exactly who he/she is (not like the "who ts Ian Middleton" problem) and that the office has an open door policy. It is also imperative that the President voice these concerns at the "Board of Governors" level and, if necessary, take the initiative to organize protest rallies. Because the LUSU President is the chief llaison between the students and LU Administration, it ts crucial that information be related back in the form of Argus reports, class visits ect. .. GOALS A number of my goals for the upcoming year ls to see a wi'ravel Cuts• office on campus so the students may receive discounted air fares. I am also committed to implementing a student health plan for those who need it and, meeting with the new Thunder Bay mayor to ensure he does not neglect his promises towards affordable student housing and student-rate bus passes. Ensuring that the Outpost does not run a deficit and, obtaintng a transmitting licence for our radio station, ts also among my priorities BEST/WORST QUALITY I believe that my best quality is that I am focused and persistent. If a concern is brought to my attention, I will see to it that its resolved no matter how Jong It takes. Of my worst quality, I am unable to pin point anything major which might effect my role as President, yet, I invite eveiyone to come and get to know me so you may discover for yourselves. 11 Brian Torry TWO MAJOR CAMPUS ISSUES HAIR FORCE 11 The issue of improved Student Services, especially in the area of Health Care and also in off campus housing and improved services. Probably the greatest issue of present times, is one of exceptional importance, is the disastrous financial situation presented to us through higher tuition and reduced gov't spending and it will be necessary to deal with these problems to ensure continued success for students. PERCEPTION OF THE RELATIONSHIP ' In recent years LUSU has become more of a giant corporation than a Student Union. Though it is important to run the organization as a business the LUSU president should be a representative of the students not their CEO. • GOALS -Get students involved in LUSU - pride in LU. -Better off-campus housing services for students -Big brother/sister programs for all departments (voluntary) -Merchandising/promotion campaign to raise awareness within Thunder Bay and other Universities -Upgrading of Residence facilities - allowing married couples to cohabitate in residence ·Declare LU bilingual BEST/WORST QUALl'IY Best-hair Worst-hair PROFILE �The Argus Page 3 January 30, 1992 VICE PRESIDENT - FINANCE CAMPUS.

I think LUSU and the V.P. Finance should work more closely with University Administration to help alleviate the lack of office space. One concrete proposal that I have, Best-hair Worst-hair Tanya Tougas "RUNNING FOR VP - F .. OUTPOST DEFICIT The intent of the OU1POST ls not that it be supported by additional funds, the OUTPOST should be operating at break-even or at a profit And if it is not, it is essential to determine what exactly is the source of the problem and talce correctlve measures to alleviate the financial burden. In light of the recent financial deficit, primarily caused by start-up costs of the OUTPOST, an Operating Fund has been established for the OUI'POST. The $2 cover-charge collected from non-LU students to the OUTPOST will go directly to this fund as well as any surplus (or profits) the OU1POST will make. This fund is a ve-cy important financial move for the OUI'POST. This fund will grow to a predetermined level (dollar amount). It Is Important to have this fund available in the case of an unforseen event so money will be available to cover the daily overhead expenses that must be paid. For example, a situation may arise such as a faculty strike. This may mean many students leave campus, forcing the OUI'POST to be closed for a couple of weeks. It wotJ:1d be a situation like this, not forseeable, that the management of the OUTPOST and LUSU can draw from this fund in order to remain above water until the normal revenues (profits) can be realized from regular operation. When this operaf:1ng fund reaches the pre-determined level, the money's over and above will go back to the students in the way of new services or events from the OUI'POST. SPACE PROBLEM This year LUSU has had a plethora of new clubs developing on campus. This is great! However, the problem of limited space has magnUled. I have ideas of my own to accommodate this problem. For example, we may be able to set up a common club headquarters for clubs that don't require as much office space. These clubs can share office equipment, and hold club meetings in the LUSU club room. I feel however, the people involved in clubs are most aware of their requirements and have many ideas of their own. This Is why I intend to organize a committee of club reps to address such issues as space, key and funding allocation. GOALS As V.P. Finance, there are many initiatives I will address. Among which include: Fall and Summer operations of the OUI'POST, short and long term planning for the OUI'POST and LUSU, Phase II of the Radio Station, and the implementation of a Climbing Wall. As V.P. Finance, I will continue to emphasize funding toward FREE and/or subsidized ticket prices for events held by the OU1POST. In addition, I will support funding of a variety of entertainment. As V.P. Finance This spring I will explore many alternatives for the summer operation of the OUTPOST. I feel it is Important that we choose an alternative that is financially stable, as well as in the best interest of our shareholders (YOU)! LUSU has undergone substantial growth in infa-structure, prtmarily due to the OU1FOST. At this point, I feel it is essential that as V.P. Finance, I initiate the development of short and long-term planning. In doing so, we can identify any potential opportunities or problems we may face in our operations. Uke you, I don't want any surprises! This coming year, the LU Radio Station will be advancing into Phase II & III. We will be applying for a transmitting license. I feel this is an excellent venture, and will support your views and interests when considering fund allocation. Finally, indMduals on campus are pursuing the implementation of a Climbing Wall. Providing a few wrinkles are ironed out, I feel this is a good investment for Lakehead Students to talce on. It's a healthy alternative form of recreation!

It was from the vandalism here which saw the expulsion of sfx students from all parts of residence . I believe their ban is justffted and that this action was a step in the right direction. Vandalism is not going to stop and we shouldn't kid ourselves or anyone else. The question arises thus, how far do we go to punish the masses for acts of few, if they can not be found out? I personally do not like the idea of •passing the buck.. as it were, it can•t even be said that the vandalism taken place on campus is done by our student body. Thus it becomes hard to Justify any action against our student community. My best solution is show students right at the beginning of the year the costs of vandalism, the money comes from ie: cutting out of further and better education and higher student fees. Hey were all adults. Lets act that way! Before we lose privileges such as a licensed bar, lets not kid ourselves it could happen! SOCW, PROBLEMS I believe that Lakehead has to worry more than just social problems on campu~What i mean is that, I am particulartty concerned about the fact every two days one garbage bin full ofgood food coming from Versa is thrown away quite hastily. Do we not have a "shelter.. here in ThunderBay? Yes, I believe so! This is a major social problem especially when this campus can come out and provide some very much needed food, it probably wouldn't even cost us anything as they would gladly come to pick it up every day for free. Here we do the community a great service and we as students lend a hand in waste management and we gain in the appreciation of the citizens ofThunderBay, who may now open their doors and homes to future students. As for on campus social problems, I believe that people in different faculties don't know anything or little about another faculty, thus we arrive at the constantly put down of Outdoor recreation students who's course load is two times that of any Arts students. There course sounds easy by name but thats all. Thus basically we have to learn about each other. GOALS My goals for the upcoming year are to give students the best responsible secure time that cp Walsh THAT S CORRELATIVE POLYPHILOPROGENITIVE TO VOU VANDALISM 11 Christine Fisher 11 11 11 We should be using the Argus as a medium for exposing the perpetrator and ensurtng that they are persecuted to the full extent of the law. i would also suggest an increase in student security on the prtme nights (thursdays). Vandalism seems to stem from drunken folks' propensity for a primordial response to personal frustration. Perhaps these folks would find other means of venting their frustration (self-manipulation) if they knew that they may be exposed to their peers via the Argus. SOCIAL PROBLEMS Environmental concerns continue to be the most pressing issues on the planet for obvious reasons. At a local level. ECHO)) continues to lead the way with activities such as the upcoming Environmental Awareness Week. The environmental problem is one facet in a greater social problem that can only be resolved through a change in people's thinking. With the rtse of grassroots clubs such as B.G.L.L.U., heterosexist and homophobic attitudes may eventually -change. If people had a little more humility about themselves and their place in the universe, many would not be as frustrated or insensitive to changing times. Student apathy is obviously a problem which stifles any attempt to effect change. An innovative and creative way of approaching the aforementioned social problems will have to be sought. We must"attempt to remove the rigid bind of massproduced solutions. GOALS ·,As with past years, i'd stlll enjoy attempting to subvert the dominant paradigm. In the words of NOMEANSNO: Question the answers, stir the solutions; in the end, for light, you must burn your conclusions. BEST/WORST QUALITY Best Quality: A humorously creative yet strident belief in reform. Worst Quality: i'm a procrastinator. they can achieve in one year and hopefully years to come. Another goal is to ensure that the courses offered in the calender are actually offered in the up coming year for students now find that because of courses not offered the year , disallows them to take a desired course in the next academic year, thus a crucial m1nn could be lost and future employment as well. BEST/WORST QUALITY · • My best quality would have to be that i'm very approachable and open to ideas and critlcism while maintaining a sense of humour to keep the edge off. My worst quality pushing my point too far, which could be a good thing in the position of V.P. Student Issues. 11 Craig Grice DOES BO KNOW LUSU? 11 VANDALISM As everyone knows vandalism has become quite a hot topic around campus. Rumours have it, they may even closel he Outpost. However, the Outpost is not just a service to the small handful of people vandalizing but a service to the entire student body. Idealistically, increased securtty and lightlng:yvould best solve the problem. Realistically, because of budget constraints, it depends upon the students to take action against vandalism. We must police ourselves. Many concerned students have brought forth the idea of a "clime stopper" program. The university would give a small financial reward for any tips leading to the arrest of a vandal. On a larger scope. it would be most effective for not only the students safety but to the protection of our university community. SOCIAL PROBLEMS Although vandalism is a social issue, there are other social . problems which are frequently mentioned. As Residence Programmer, I see a large gap between residance and off-campus student. Both share the university facilities, yet one goes way and one goes the other. As a student senator and residance programmer I have learned concepts that could bridge the two groups. Another social problem is the Outpost. Many people have complained about service items that include food, waitstaff and doorstaff. There are also many complaints I have heard. What I would like to see is more consistency witl1 service and regulations. Some other socila grievances I would like to deal with are better accessibility for thhe physically challenged, better communication between facilities, and more organized registration week. GOALS As for goals for next year. I would like to see a health plan implemented. and a men's volleyball team. By working with administration I want birthdates on student cards, an increased budget for off campus housing and to increase security regardless of budget constraints. W«unust work around the situation to make our campus look and feel safe. BEST/WORST QUALITY As for myself, I would say my worst quality would be the constant work I take on. I have a difficult time delegating authority. Mt best ·quality would be my dedicated, personable attitude toward.every single issue I acquire.

It is presumed that Wt1Jtams was upset after losing her starting setter position to second year player Jo-Anne Hood."

Zfotn, llmmanuel Ouenfrfve, 1992. The stranger took me by surprtse as I tottered out of the Argus office. He was concealed behind one of the mammoth orange refuse containers that so enthusiastically domJnate the Vending Room. Out he sprang, clutching a cheap handgun. Was some gun control coalition shooting a commerctal at my expense? His gun went off, the bullet struck me square In the belt buckle and knocked me flat onto the Vending Room Floor. I crtnged as he loomed over me, preparing the coup de grace. "You're not Brtan B.,· he said. -You're no Jack Ruby your-· seJ.f, • I replied. The bullet had ricocheted tnto a coffee machine and now fresh versa-brewed mud was pouring out onto the floor. A couple of bearded students 1n engtneertngjackets were helpIng themselves. My assaulter offered a hand which I graciously refused. Brushing otf any of his halfwitted apologies, I hastened to the bookstore. where I fantasized about the textbooks I couldn't afford. Then It was off to the Agora, where now I sit composing. Apparently there's a little too much empty space here In the Agora. The space committee, an agoraphobic organization presumably tn charge of such things, has decreed that a lot of this empty space be destroyed to make way for artificial trees, plants, furniture, and Looking Up magazine stands. I wonder If the space committee Is aware ofa more sert- ous empty-space excess on campus. On Analyst Annie's mallbox, to be exact AA Is getting awfully lonely here. When questioned about the situation, WSU president Ian Middleton cited the Native Student's proposed Pow-wow and ECHO's EnvtronmentalAwarenessdtspJayas events that may suffer from the empty space destruction. Presumably, all such events could be moved to other high-traffic areas such as the tunnel Just outside the LUSU office or the dance floor of the Outpost. The Outpost has also been generating optnlons among the socially conscious Journallsts of Thunder Bay. When I sat down In the space-dominated Agora today, the first thing I noticed was a trampled bit of newsprint covered tn mud and graffltlatmyfeet lthadseemed unimportant at the time, but now, as I examine It. what should It be but a copy of the Januaiy 10th Chronicle Journal? The word 'pub' was featured on the opinion page. I scanned the underlying editorial. The uncredited author of the piece was under the delusion that the 'Post was built from taxpayer's dollars. Yes, th1s Js circuitously true, as a great number of students are now mournfully taxed on their OSAP loans, and no student can escape the almighty GST. Student Union elections are next week; even though I have little faith in democracy as practised by the U.S., Cap.ada. and LUSU, I will vote and I encourage you to do so as well. Which Is worse, voting a few loose cannons Into positions of au- thortty or not havtng the opportunity to dump those same cannons the next year? As Steve Earle says.

Television c-ommercials promoting TEDs or thigh-enhancing devices have been broadcasted tnto our living rooms for thepastcoupleofmonths. The two most popular TEDs currently adverUsed are Thigh Master (plugged by SU2.arule Somers) and Thigh Toner. From these commercials, it would seem that thighs are the trendy part of the anatomy right now. Fat, flabby thighs are out and well-toned thighs are In. However, a big problem With 1EDs Js they only concentrate on flabby thighs. After people use these devtces their thighs become toned, but what about their double chins, their droopy butts and most Importantly, their beer bellies? I can Justtmagtne 1ED users' friends saying, "Gee, she's got a nice pair of thighs, but get a load of that beer belly.· So Individuals seeking the perfect body must wait for as yet uninvented devices such as the Chin Chiseler, Butt Buster and Belly Beater. Another problem for TE,D users ts the Oprah Effect. This condition Is named Jn honour of the talk show host, Oprah Winfrey. You will remember that Oprah went on a liquid diet and after a couple months. she almost disappeared. and became known as Little Opie to thousands of adoring fans. However, when she went off that diet, she practically doubled tn stze and earned the nickname, The Grand oi· Oprah. (That terrible pun is for all the Country and Western fans out there). Tots boomer- . ' ang process became known as the Oprah Effect, and It applies to anyone who stops usIng some trendy diet food or exercise device, For 'JED users, il means that once they,· stop using their 1EDs, their thighs will became twice as flabby as they were originally. Although most women will probably quit using the1r1EDs shortly after purchasing them, dlehard users who over-tn-dulge tn the thigh-enhancing process will develop more than toned thighs. Aftera while their ·-legs will look like those of female Bulgarian shotputters. You know the kind of legs I mean, like Arnold Schwarzenegger's -- all knotted with veins sticking out. And women purchaslng'IEDs probably don't want legs like that. That's why I think lEDs should be promoted to people Interested In body building. Arnold Schwarzenegger would be an excellent spokesman for such devices. He could hold up a 1ED and say something like, "Look at my thighs. Are ~ not bulgtng and taut?

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

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

In a telephone interview Monday, Jean Richard, Chairman of the Moncton Student Council and New Brunswick Representative on the CUS Board of Directors said he expects about 300 Moncton students to accompany the delegation. Richard said between 1,500 noxville, Quebec, where his father was Professor of Education. ' He graduated in 1932 with the Lieutenant-Governor's Medal for the .highest student in the graduating year. He continued his studies at the University of London, England, where he received his M.A:, and his Ph.D. Both Degrees were taken in the field of "British Imperial History". He was awarded several post-graduate scholarships while he was at , London. In 1939 he was appointed to the staff of Bishop's CoUege School. In 1941 lie joined the staff of Sir George Williams College, Montreal. He was promoted to Assistant-Professor in 1934, Associate Professor in 1945, and Professor of History in 1948. In 1952, Dr. Rothney was appointed Professor of History at Memorial University of Newfoundland. Dr. Rothney organized the Provincial Archives within the University. It was taken over by Li1e province in 1959.

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

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

All are to be commended on their cleanliness and respect for the areas that were excluded to them.

Which can only mean one thing -- the established systems can no longer command the authority they once had. They can no longer- rely on the theory of the slave mentality for reassurance. The system is crumbling; revolution is coming. Romantic ideals, sane will say; meaningless words will be the retort of others. These people will not read on, for to them it is a waste of rhetoric, an exercise in stagnant terminology . They will go back to their cards, their coffee, and their discussions of drink and sex, scoffing at others efforts to change what to them is a bore and a looming fate. But some will read on, agreeing or not. These are die people who count. These are the people who set the pace for the rest to follow when it is fashionable. -Dmiel 5; 4, 5, 15, 26 • 28. "Revolution NOW'", or so the signs proclaimed. There they were, in vivid black and orange, arresting the casual observer and slapping him soundly in the face. It is the sort of greeting you do not usually expect upon entering the University first thing on a Tuesday morning. Strangely enough, they seem to have left little visible impact on our community of scholars. On the other hand, had the tunnel taken on these same decorations a year ago, heads would havt: rolled, staining the concrete floors a much richer colour than the orange splashed near the new entrance. Revolution is an unfortunate word; it carries connotations of bearded usurpers and flaming red stars. Revolution is _not the American way. To realize change, a civilized western man sits down at a conference table (in order, starting at the head of the table, of public stature, prestige, power, wealth, age, or any combination thereof) and talks things over. He weighs relative advantages and disadvantages of present institutions, suggesting changes where necessary. And change comes. But not in the intended fashion. Little do those involved realize, but the only significant changes coming from such dignified and awe-filled confrontations are in the persons themselves. Reformers are sucked in, assimilated to the status quo position of the entrenched bureaucrats, and led out to pasture where fields are green and the sun always shines. Why is it that the vanguard of the revolution at the Lakehead hesitated for so long before taking this inevitable step? Could it be that they, along with the rest of the student body, have successfully been suppres~ed by those defending the status quo? Revolution: to many it means glorious battle . . S.o it follows that ·great moments in historical conflict are resurrected, to show the young and impressionable how thrilling and exciting wars are, and how everything important happened in an hour (with special lulls in the ac;tion for messages of great commercial ! l Editor's note: The manuscript on which the following article is J;a~ is an 80 page document written by \)yacheslav Chornovil, a Ukrainian newsman. The manuscript, smuggled to the west in November, was written as a petition on behalf of twenty recently jailed Ukrainian intellectuals, and was sent to Soviet authorities. Because of the detailedness of Chornovil's plea, and his charges of the illegality being perpetuated by the KGB (secret police) and the Soviet courts themselves, Chornovil's writings received headlines first in an exclusive copyrighted story by the Toronto Telegram last month, and n<NI by the Times of London (Feb. 7) and the New York Times on February 9. Prof. 8. R. Bociurkiw of the University of Alberta Political S(:Ience department one of Canada's leading Sovietologists has checked the manuscript and calls it, ..of the stature of the Sinyavsky-Daniel trial transcripts.

Chornovil's manuscript is now being printed by McGraw-Hill md will be released in •approximaely five weeks under the title, ..Portraits of Twenty Criminals." Quot.ations in this article are taken from the above named sources. At this moment Vyacheslav Chomovil is serving a three year prison term in the Soviet Union for writing a petition to Soviet judicial authorities. Political imprisonment is not an unusual event in the ,Soviet Union, however this particular instance has attracked world attention for the courage it displays and for the princieles of human dignity that it represents.

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

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

He also wrote a book that has found its way to the ,est, via underground channels. Reference to this wotk which 1as passed hand to hand in the Ukraine, was made by Mr. John .olasky of Toronto, a Canadian Communist who was studying at Je Higher Party School of the Central Committee in Kiev, and •ho managed to get hold of the underground circulating petition. .r. Kolasky, who joined the Canadian Communist Party 30 years go and i s still a member, says, that in essence the charges of legality and of genocide are true. Mr. Kolasky says that he was :>lleeting material on how the Soviets are trying to destroy the krainian culture and reyla~e it with Russian. Kolasky says 1at the KGB held him for two weeks for questioning and conseated all his papers when they caught him with the petition. Chomoyil•s book, including the petition, although not yet ,ailable ,in Engli,sh has been published in Ukrainian and is gnificant for a numbei: of reasons. First, it says that the !tition which Karavansky wrote is based on Leninist principles, e Soviet constitution, and Soviet law, all of which guarantee ,vereignty to the Soviet republics and rights to their nationali- Petryshyn ties. Using these legal channels, Karavansky ·accuses and proves the State of condoning and encouraging discrimination. Secondly, it is significantly important that this manuscript has been compiled by a person born and raised under the Communist system and a card carrying member of the Party and not an opponent of the Soviet regime. Thirdly, Chomovil in writing this book was consciously aware that his action would put him into prison, as well as ruin his life career. From all sides, theJ efore, Chomovil's action for the twenty intellectuals is an act of co"-rage. In I the summer and falJ of 1965, there were waves of arrests throughout the Ukraine as well as other Eastern European countries. Six months later these writers, a,rtists, teachers and scjentists were brought to secret trial, which under the Soviet Constitution~is illegal. Moreover, in some cases lawyers were not allowed toi:-the defendent (Eg. Mikhailo Horyn), and families were not notified until after the sentencing (eg. Mikhailo Masiutko).

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

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

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

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

If the students are apathetic to what is going on, how can the structure of the University help them?

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

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

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

Murray Smith has done a fine job in the I.C.H.A. scoring race this year. As we went to press he had a 12 point lead on his nearest opponent who had 2 games left. With intercollegiate practice and interfoan sports being played in the fieldhouse, it looks like the building is a good investment. Coach Birger has recently gone on a scouting trip, but he ·won't divulge whether he has picked up any hoopster prospects. •••• There is a big argument among Birger's boys on what to call the new fieldhouse. Among names submitted by the Nor'Wester basketball team are Cameron's Camp, Holman's House, Holmstrom's Homestead, Johnston's Gym (Jim) or Pero's Palace. Congratulations to the cheerleader's once again for their support of teams during the year. It's too bad the students couldn't do the same, I think the great job they did on the one intercollegiate trip they did go on, should entitle them to at least a couple of trips next year. This year's cheerleaders included Sue Haglund, Jo-Ann Pettit, Lois Logozzo, Mary Carol Zuback, Carla Hagstrom, Jean Boyes, Marg Bums and Mary Currie. Thanks to the people of Ashland and of Northland College once again for such a great time on L.U.'s basketball trip. L.U. lost the basketball game 93-67 with Don Holmstrom once again leading the way for L.U. with 21. The L.U. cheerleaders were in excellent foan at the Thunder Bay Association Booster Night last Saturday. The cheerleaders had many new cheers and the crowd appreciated their excellent half time show. After the game the girls held a shower in the gicl's washroom for a certain L.U. player. He really appreciated it and is now planning his revenge. Rob Cameron, played the role as "Hollywooder of the year" managed to take over as coach for a few practices this week.

The Lakehead University curling team skipped by Bill Andrusco with Larry Eustace lead, Cal Montgomery second, and Tom Fry, (a last minute replacement for Rick Moats, who was forced to stay home for academic reasons) at third, placed third in the Ontario Intercollegiate Athletic Association Curling Championship held at the Terrace Curling Rink in Toronto. In the first draw Friday, Lakehead University met a strong Laurentian University curling team and were defeated 12·6. The second draw appeared to have Lakehead University finding the range on the strange ice as they defeated Trent University 9-7, then met Osgoode Hall in the third draw of the day and defeated them, this time by a 10-8 score. Every match on Friday had the Lakehead University team curling stronger and they continued this trend into the championship • ID curling round on Saturday, when they met Waterloo Lutheran University. This first game of the championship washy farLakehead University's best but they came against brilliant shot making from all members of the Waterloo team and were whipped 14-7 in the 12 end contest. Disaster struck in the ninth end where four missed shots allowed Waterloo to steal four to take a five point lead with only three ends to play. Waterloo then went on to defeat Ryerson, defending champions, who had previously beaten Laurentian University. Osgoode Hall won the consolation championship by fjrst defeating York University, then Trent University. The standings at the conclusion of the tournament was Waterloo first, Ryerson second, Lakehead University third, Laurentian University fourth, Osgoode Hall fifth, Trent sixth, Brock seventh, and York eight.

U. athletic building is open now for the use of students. lnterform games are being played there several times during the week but there is also time allotted for free time activities. When all the equipment has been sorted out students will be able to borrow this equipment for the allotted time period of the sport by presenting their student card at the equipment office. By getting a group together for a certain sport, one has only to phone over to reserve the gym for a certain sport if the time is open. Usually there will be time to reserve the gym in the mornings and afternoons during the week.

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

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

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

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

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

This pertJeating vagueness is symptomatic of the entire push for "student power". In the first place, it isn•t power at all, but rather • control of their destinies that students seek. In ~a.n.Y instances, student complaint·s a.re quite legitimate. The recent :Iall-J)ennis report on educa- tion recommends the abolition of school subjects as they a.re todey, P.11 grades, homework, formal examinations, percentage marks, and class standines. The report does not deal directly with current issues such as student pawar; student power as now sought would become irrevela.nt. But, Neil A. !.1acEachern of ;!aterloo, President of the Ontario Public School Trustees Association, SA.id the report delved into the obvious without touchincr the real p~blem - money.

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

BARKWELL's ARGUS: What are the reasons for the submission of your resignation? BARKWELL: My reasons are not because of lack of confidence in council nor that I feel that I have not been doing my job adequately. They are, however, because I can take courses at Lakehead University in the future only if I resign my position as President of the AMS and do not participate in any extra curricular )activities. I ARGUS: Who presented you with this ultimatum? BARKWELL: It was in an informal conversation that it was intimated (quite strongly) by the Registrar almost one week ago. But Dr. Tamblyn told me this morning that I could not, in his opinion, successfully complete an academic year while carrying on with any extra curricular activities. As he is Acting Dean of Arts, for me, it's resign or forget a university career. ARGUS: In pres en ting you with this ultimatum, what criterion did Dr. Tamblyn refer to in suggesting that you could not be academically successful and maintain your position as AMS President at the same time? BARKWELL: It was a personal judgment on the basis of my academic record having failed my year and having ' held the posts of Advertising Manager of ·the Argus, Vice President of the AMS and now, as President of the AMS. I tried to explain to him that I had learned to handle the academics with the extra curricular but ~is argument was th.at I would, have BARKWELL: I don't know that I was singled-out but it seems to me that the situation wouldn't have magnified if I had been a good corporate citizen and _gone along with the recommen,dations of the more experienced mem- ' bers of the university community who are trying to -protect me from myself. ULT/MAT BARKWELL: I think this is one of the most open mistakes that the Administration has made in their attempts to control the student body. The President of the University has been wise to cover up his enforcement of the Senate ruling regarding the maintainance of a C average for all students involved in extra-curricular activities. The significance of this to me is that we think that students should be involved in,. the decision-making of thi~ university, and yet, the Administration and the Senate will not give us the tokenism of allowing us to run our own student government. Dr. Tamblyn's arguments -might be valid in his context, but I don't think it can be overlooke9 that, under the "snow", you'll find the Senate. ARGUS: In other words, you feel this to be a direct assault by the Admin-■------------------a• govern istration on students' rights td themselves? not work towards this as effectively from too far outside the system. Besides, in order that-I might continue my education, I am going to require a Student Loan, and if I did remain as President, it has also been intimated (and backed-up with an example) that my chances of receiving the loan would be almost nil. BARKWELL: Definitely and more in that I feel that the Administ;ation and the Senate are challenging the stude~ts at a time when they can't retaliate effectively. It's all part of the bigbother, father-confessor attitude held towards students at Lakehead University. ARGUS: To your knowledge, is~_your's the only case of this • type under review by Tamblyn? .ARGUS: What do you think will happen from here? BARKWELL: I think that the students BARKWELL: have a great deal more to say about their education and their institute. Next year I can see students disregarding the fatherliness and starting to think on th~ir own. I have received a big lesson on how powerful the Administration and the Senate can be when they want to maintain the status quo. I hope that the students of Lakehead University will also be able to gain some insight into why they are, as JERRY FARBER explains, NIGGERS. We can think. We can. I thought that mine was to be the only one, but presumably, because of the situation, an Arts student that failed and has not been notified by the Registrar that he could repeat his year, will have his case reviewed as well. I felt that the way it was put to me was such that if I did resign, these other students would stand a better chance. ARGUS: Why do you feel that you have been singled out now? FI.EM MAKERS Several faculty members and students from Lakehead University are in the process of making a hot media right here in the frozen north. This realization takes the form of a half hour feature length sound film in black and white under the title of "Ely". The entire project evolved out of the enthusiasm generated at the Film Workshop at Quetcio this spring. Mr. A. Menhart, who will direct th~s film, estimates the cost to be about $7,500. Shooting for the film will be done locally and local act~rs have been approached for casting. Larry Anderson will edit the film and Mr. W. Houston will write the music. The script for "Ely" has been adapted from a short story by Jack L~mmon, a Lakehead University student. The story is considered excellent and the National Film Board has indicated their interest and offered their advice. Having already completed a seven minute experimental film called "The Film Mikers", the crew is preparing to do another professional job on "Ely". Interest has been shown by the AMS and the Lakehead Film Makers Guild in supplying funds for the production. It is hoped that most money will come from private subscriptions.. Shortage of funds is the only thing holding up the production. Equipment is also required as two 16 mm cameras are the only stock. Outlets for the completed film includ~ local televi~ion, ·Lakehead University, and, ~ventually, Toronto. In completing this film, Mr. Menhart ~~pes "to create an environment where more movies can be produced in the Lakehead 11 • St~d~ Ho~sln9 Gu.rea..'-4 Req_u.tre s Acco mod.a..t ions For- Stu.cle nt.s , Inc.I u.clinr coti+a.c.t: Perrffi Pt\ula.rhn,e , Oirec:\or of •51'.lden-t Hole.Sin~, IA kc he~cl Univer si+ y, ph. 3't5 •21lt �CONCERNING the nature of ARGUS-4 ANSWER: by Owen Marks QUESTION: 28/6/68ARGUS Bazarov is alive· and well in S.IJ.S.

ANSWER: Today's Today's Today's Today's Today's Joday's student student student student student student is is is is is is In Canada, the history of STUDENT POWER should be written only in the future tense. However - the students of only one Canadian university (Simon Fraser, B.C.) have really been able to affect a change in the administrative levels of their institution. Within a week, this summer, two presidents of this four year old university were forced to resign because of faculty & student pressure. However, the only effect STUDENT POWER has had in other Canadian universities is the acininistrations' granting to students a few Senate positions. Of course, npt even this miniscule form of administrative paternalism has been attempted at Lakehead University. There is not even a student Senate observer here. insecure. secure. alienated. involved. immature. mature.

Hell, the word "liberal" was still acceptable 'for useage in polite society. w e. S r? , vi (e th of in za or'We When I fi rs't- eame o Lakeh a ni versi ty three years ago (it seems longer than that), there were no security cops, no five storey libraries, n? gargantuan science complexes, no 1vy, no narcs. We had to have 60% to get in. (Unfortunately, I never asked in which subject.) But perhaps that university atmosphere was closer to what Tamblyn wanted than what he has now. The University existed because it was. The student obeyed his prof, the prof obeyed his employer. All were happy because no questions were ask- i .J li . s i ty e , did too much about our education. When · Tamblyn admi~ted t~at the University had a few defects, we thought he was j~st being humble. But since my freshman year one distant mistake and one not-so-distant miscalculation have torn this campus (and most of the others in the West) from an intellectual Elysium into a bright psychedelic 1968 world (reminiscent of 1848). Vietnam and the dying liberal-oriented civil rights movement were the spoilers. Both helped to shave away the student's umbilical cord of misplaced idealism and aimless pragmatism. QUESTION: What do you want? R has a is se o social ts are still the problems hi n the unicountry's univers1 y students ~ave not yet found the flaming social issue with which they could light the world on fire. Thus the social anxieties of the Canadian students are directed against the closest institution of oppression they can find -- the university administration. Although many radical students would very much like to destroy the economic system under which they toil, student representation on the Senate and Universal .Accessibility will not be the issues which will help them do this. OTHER VIEWS: It was revealed on Saturday that a small group, organized as Students for a Democratic Society, sparked the rebellions in the various colleges (USA). And one of the leaders of the group in an interview said, "Capitalism must go." He talked of his organization spreading off-campus and creating "a class conscious revolutionary socialist movement". So it's out. Those who guessed that the demonstrations and takeover of university properties were organized and encouraged by communists are proven right.

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

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

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

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

UNFINISHED RESIDENCES FOR SEPTEMBER S.S. ELECTION' The Lakehead University Summer School Society has elected a new slate of officers for 1968-69. A strike threatens to halt construction of a 1,000 bed structure at the University of Guelph. In May, 1200 students were evicted from an apartment building. The Guelph Student Council is now preparing plans for a tent-in if the expected crisis fully develops. At Waterloo, a press&_radio campaign is planned to find housing. Director of Housing_, Edith Beausoleil, expects September to be hectic but not impossible. She said there are many people willing to rent temporary accommodations to students. Besides 180 electrical workers, there Successful for the position of Chairman on the new executive was Cliff HubeP, with Steve Sipos and MaPg Conor as Vice-Chairmen, Boyd Dr>ake as Treasure and Pat Hott as secretary.

Prior to the election meeting on July 10th, there was considerable talk of disbanding the Society altogether owing to recent failure to promote effective programming. At that meeting it was decided to select an executive from the councillors, as the planned student election had drawn no nominations. �ARGUS/2 JULY 19TH SIMON saYs says - by Simon Hoad Happiness is knowing that Giner is pregnant, _ and that you are not implicated, 'cause Ginger is a horse.

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

The Academic Committee will soon present this recommendation to the A.M.S. as one of its chief programs for the coming year. In order to facilitate the administration's adoption of the plan the Academic Committee will suggest that the AMS give the administration up to $2000 to alleviate the cost of such a program. It is hoped that this will be the first part of a two-staged ~tudent-adm"inistration program in Canadian Indian Affairs. If th~ administration should adopt the proposal, the student council will establish a fund totalling $2000 for living expenses for any Indian student wishing to come to Lakehead University in order to participate in such a course. You'll find the newest, loveliest,most modern diamond ring styles atf At present, however, the only certainty about the Teach-In is that it will be held. 11111-1111 I f Pulp? Paper? Mr. W.G. Tamblyn announced recently that a unique three year diploma program orientated toward the pulp and paper industry will be offered at Lakehead University starting this fall. The program is the cumulation of three years of planning and study in coopera tion with the Education Committee lof the Canadian Pulp and Paper Association and Northwestern Ontario Mill personnel. The initial study was undertaken by Mr. A. Bruley, lecturer in Chemical Engineering at the university. Mr. Bruley's survey indicated ·a strong demand in the Canadian Pulp and Paper industry for both diploma and degree chemical engineering graduates with a background in paper technology. Recent surveys by the Association of Professional Engineers of Ont- ario and similar groups in the · United States also indicated similar trends, but stressed the need for diploma or technology, level engineering skills. Lakehead University's program is intended to fill this need. Offered as an option in Chemical Engineering Technology, the programme provides job opportunities for the graduate in many other chemical and process industries. Entrance requirements for the programme are normally from the Ontario grade 12 level of the five year academic stream. The program will develop the student's ability to apply engineering, scientific, business and professional concepts to trade·, industry, commerce or ~roduction operations in their chosen field.

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

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

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

Fred McIntosh, chief librarian, stated that the purpose of the automationisto"supportthe goals of the university and its students." With an automated systern, students and faculty can search for and obtain materials easier and faster. The old traditional card catalogue was becoming "cumbersome" and outdated.

The weekly Drop-in Centre has received positive comments from students, faculty and local native community memhers. It was felt that the centre was a good concept and that it should operate on a permanent basis. The purpose of the centre is to create a place on campus where native students can rel~, enjoy a cup of coffee and make new friends. The centre is also used for educational sessions, cultural activities, career information and workshops. The Drop-in also provides programs and counselling in academics, social/emotional needs, special assistance, tutorials, orientation and liaison/careers. These programs help to develop a native support network, encouraging the students to remain in school and complete a degree. Weekly acti vi ties include: guest speakers, elders, films, workshops and cultµral activities.

This · project is aimed at dispersing government resources, funds and personnel to create employment in Northern Ontario. The OSAP office will process applications from about 52 institutions all over Ontario and wiB dffer improved service and quicker turnaround times. "Students will look at Thunder Bay in a different light, since this is where the dollars will come from. This is the real thing," said General Manager Jan Donio, Jan is a former Lakehead University Student Union president and Ontario Federation of Students executive. The OSAP office moved to Thunder Bay on September 6 and is temporarily located in the lower level of Keskus Mall, with the relocation to be complete by 1991. The present office houses Correspondence, Appeals, Operations, Payments, Client Services, Graduate Programs, Information and Administration departments. These wi11 be fo11owed by the Main Processing Section, which remains in Toronto. Hence, the actual processing of applications is being done in Toronto, using a twentythree year old mainframe batch computer. "This relocation wiJl allow the ministry to develop new and efficient processing systems when it moves into its new Red River Road complex (behind the Royal Bank) in 1991," Donio said. One such system is a prototype, currently being - A "Move North" for Student Awards Branch. tested at Ottawa University, which allows applications to be directly entered onto disks. In regards to the problems caused by the branch's relocation Donio said, "Our goal this year was to just cope with the applications and we have achieved it." "We receive about a thousand .c~lls a day, since this is our busiest part of the year", she added:. There wiU sti1I be the usual eight week turnaround time, but the overall delay is expected to be much less than in previous years. In addition to OSAP, the office deals . with several other loan, bursary and grant programs. The OSAP office is currently staffed by•41 people, 39 of whom are Thunder Bayites. Most of them are graduates of LU or Confederation College. "Having been recipients of OSAPthemselves, they have a commitment to the student community," said Donio. Most of the staff were recruited last year and sent for training to Toronto, where they worked closely with experienced personnel. As a manager sets up his department here, his counterpart will wind down operations in Toronto. Though the office is located in the city, students are not encouraged to approach the office directly, but rather to go photo Tod Scollie through the school's financial aid office. However students will be allowed to phone regarding any doubts or problems they have. "The university's financial aid officer is like a student's banker, and will know all about the loans and bursaries of that institution," explained Donio. This branch houses a financial aid office for smaller institutions which do not have one of their own. The new OSAP complex, which is expected to be completed in 30 months, is es- . timated to cost $ 27 million and create 300-350 new jobs. The ground floor of the impressive 4-storeyed structure will house a community centre with various recreational facilities. "Communities have been welcoming us (the relocated ministries) with open arms," commented Donio. "And in Thunder Bay, Lakehead and Con College have been very helpful in our relocation." . Sudbury, Sault Ste. Marie and North Bay are some of the places selected for the other ministries. Donio feels confident that the new OSAP headquarters will mean better and efficient service for local students, and will improve Thunder Bay's economy and status. "Personally, I feel happy to be involved in student issues once again," she added. photo by Ted Scollie ..... . . - 06 Oc~~~r-Argus-Page 3 . .. . . �President's Report Whirlwind Dilemma Hurricane Gilbert has been prominent in the news ever since it hit Jamaica a couple of weeks ago. Because of this exposure, donations from all over the world have been pouring in to help the people get back on their feet. In Canada, many relief organizations and commercial corporations are giving financial support to the Jamaican Relief Fund; the Salvation Army recently donated $100,000. Even on campus the push is on, with the AFCASA Reggae Party which was held·on Sept.30 -- all proceeds are going to f,he fund. Now don't get me wrong, I think that these donations and fundraisers are very honourable and can do a lot of good. It seems obvious to help others in times of disaster. However, what many people overlook is the crises which take place in Canada -- even Thunder Bay -- each day. The problem is, simply, that there is not enough money to support the hungry and homeless right here in our own country. For example, the relief shelter on Victoria and Simpson St. is starting to gear up for another Thunder Bay winter by expanding its service from lunch every day to a supper and a place to stay overnight. However, it is finding that the funds for such a proposal is difficult. Although much ofthe project is funded by the various levels of government, a large part of the contribution is needed from the public in the form of donations. To date, there has only been one public donation. How can Canadians give away millions of dollars to foreign dilemmas before they can deal with their own? Yes, relief for Jamaica is a very worthy cause, but why overlook Canada in the process? There has probably been more money donated to Jamaica from Thunder Bay in the last couple of weeks than there was to the shelter all year! Does the building have to be knocked over by a -wind storm before anybody takes notice? • The problem is that this is viewed as a major and tragic disaster and must be looked after right away. The everyday life of the shelter seems drab in comparison, and therefore does not grab as much attention. In effect, it is the media that hypes the event and blows it out of proportion in relation t9 the day to day reality oflife around us. And it is not just shelters which_need attention -- various research groups, such as the Cancer Society, need constant support in order to keep operating. •So the next time you feel the need to donate to kn "emergency" cause, take a look arou,nd you and see where the emergency really is. Graham Strong The things that bother a press ... will ultimately bother the country. -David Halberstam • •• Page 4-&~s-06 Octob"er, 1988 OK, so I'm not regurgitating to you, the students, what transpires at weekly Board of Directors meetings. Instead, I've decided to write about some of my pet peeves and then report, on a monthly basis what is going on at these Board Meetings. The Board kicked things off in style by approving unanimously the purchase of a new stereo, system for THE STUDY. Randy Yozipovic's energies in this department were not wasted this summer. Ian Middleton moved to have meetings in the Agora so as to give students a better idea of what goes on at meetings. A valiant effort Ian, but we may have to move back indoors. The exposure has done some good but it is terribly hard to hear sometimes. VP External Affairs, Lorri Santa has been keeping the Board up to date on OFS and CFS happenings. This VP has done her homework. Be prepared to March on October 31. I just can't get enough of those speed bumps and paved parking lots.(and neither can the Board). First, getting onto campus is a LIVING HELL. Then, when you do get in, you can't find a place to park. IF YOU GOT A PARKING TICKET IN SEPTEMBER, DON'T PAY IT. IF YOU HAVE PAID FOR IT, YOU'LL GET A REFUND. Check this paper or notices around campus for details. Further, it seems the slick pavement on the lots is causing the odd fender bender. Looks like Administration's put the speed bumps in the wrong place. • John Gardiner hasn't got an office for his Philosophy Club (LUPA), but he has managed to get an excellent speaker for the University on November 10. U ofT prof Elizabeth Trott will be here the day before Remembrance Day to talk about, amongst other things, Health Care (or the lack ofit) in the north. Way to go, John. Just goes to show how a little persistence can _pay off. Now what about Charles Taylor? Committees, committees, committees. Yes, most of them are filled. We're still looking for the odd body (student, that is). See Lorraine in the LUSU office for applications. While we're on committees, I'd just like to add that an 'ad hoc' committee was also formed at the last meeting. This one will focus on our Student Union Building (SUB) and financial forecasting for the Student Union for years to come. VP Finance (88-89) Randy Yozipovic, VP Finance 1987-88 Charlotte Caron and myself will lead this endeavour. Invitations for two additional Board members will be accepted to fill this committee. Hey Res! Tired of that cafeteria food already. Check outMSSA's Dinner and culture show on October 7 in the Main Caf. This one promises to be good.

Saradhi Puttagunta Last week the Progressive Conservative Party - in anticipation of an upcoming election - placed a colourful ad in the paper encouraging students to vote for them when the time comes. The ad was keen on showing us how much the Mulroney government has done for students since 1984 by throwing a lot of impressive numbers out. Beware! Looks can be deceiving ; those numbers and facts are not necessarily as good as they look. The PC claims to have sunk $200 million into university research budgets. While this looks good for the PC government, federal funding in the last twenty years increased 7 times (of which non-Conservative governments were in power most of the time).

Members of the local engineering faculties complain that their research budgets were cut in 1984 and, even though the-funding was later reinstated, it did not correspond to the inflation rates. Thus, federal spending by the Tories in such areas actually went down. Furthermore, total expenditures in R&D went down from 37% in 1984 to 34% in 1987. If you do not believe this, check Statistics Canada under R&D indicators. The Tories claim that since 1984, federal spending on education has increased by $300 million.

There is no question that homosexuals and lesbians are frequently the brunt of tasteless jokes and intimidation tactics. Discrimination on the grounds of sexual orientation has recently been added to the Ontario Human Rights Code. Anyone experiencing harassment of this kind is therefore protected. By way of definition and examples, you should now know what constitutes harassment. This knowledge is the first step in eradicating the problem. If you are a victim, you know that it is your basic human right to be free from harassment. However you must, no matter how difficult it may be, take the next step and SPEAK UP! Here are a few suggested ways for you to proceed. You choose the route(s) most comfortable for you. Pick up and read available literature (Student Service, LUSU office). Confide in a friend; someone you can trust and whose opinions you respect. Talking about it may ease the pain. If you can, voice your objections to your harasser. Sometimes an emphatic "no" will put an end to . the problem. Understandably that may seem impossible for you to do, or it may prove ineffective.

Most of what I really need to know about how to live, and what to do, and how to be, I learned in kindergarten. Wisdom was not at the top of the graduate school mountain, but in the sandbox of the nursery school. These are the things I learned: share everything; play fair; don't hit people; put them back where you found them; clean up your own mess; don't take things that aren't yours; say you're sorry when you hurt somebody; wash your hands before you eat; flush; warm cookies and milk are good for you; live a balanced life; learn some and think some & draw & paint & sing & dance & play & work every day some. Take a nap every afternoon. when you go out in the world watch for traffic, hold hands, and stick together. e aware of wonder. Remember the little seed in the plastic cup. The roots go down, and the plant goes up & nobody really knows how or why, but we are all like that. Goldfish and hamsters and white mice, even the little seed in the plastic cup - they all die. So do we. And then remember the book about Dick & Jane & the 1st word you learned, the biggest word of all; LOOK. Everything you need to know is in there somewhere. The Golden Rule & love & basic sanitation. Ecology & politics ~ sane living. '... 'hink of what a better world it would be if we all - the whole world - had cookies & milk about 3 o'clock and then lay down our blankets . for a 1ap. Or if we had a basic policy in our nation & other nations to always put things back where we found them & cleaned up our own messes. And it is still true, no matter how old you are, when you go out in the world, it is best to hold hands & stick together. from The Kansas City Ti.mes, by Robert Fulghum Page 8-Argus-06 October, 1988 "W hy did I choose to become a CMA?

Of the Nor'Westers' performance at this showdown, Coach Claude Lapre remarked, "It's the team's first time on the court with a lot of new things to learn. They showed a lot of discipline, having been together only two weeks." He added, "On the first day I could see they wanted to play good." In their debut against St. Catherine's, LU chalked up 15-6 and 15-12 victories. The Nor'Westers extended their streak to two of three sets in their rivalry with Gus- tavus Adolphus. After losing 9-15 in their first match-up, LU came back in fine form to clinch 15-9 and 15-12 wins. The Nor'Westers repeated this pattern by taking two against North Western 15-6.

Ben Johnson: Triumph to Tragedy Johnson at the heart of the steroid scandal. photo by Denis Tzakis by Janet Fuchek "No pain - everything's great," professed a confident Ben Johnson, reflecting on his victory at the National Olympic Track and Field Trials August 5-7 in Ottawa. Johnson posted a wind-aided 9.90 second showing in the men's 100 m finals, one-tenth of a second faster than Desai Williams to qualify for the Canadian team. Thousands of fans witnessed this powerhouse of sprinting talent, Canada's hopes for an Olympic gold. At a post-race press conference Johnson was asked, 'Will the world record in the men's 100 m finals be shattered at the 1988 Summer Olympics?" 'Who's going to break it?" Big Ben retorted. "You!" shouted one reporter. "Oh, yeah, sure," Johnson admitted with an air of certainty. A month-and-a-half later this sprinter's Olympic gold recorcJ-setting triumph turned into a tragedy. After racing to a new world mark of 9. 79 seconds in the 100 m finals September · 24th, Johnson tested positive to Stanozolol, the most dangerous of all anabolic steroids prohibited in Olympic and national competitions. The International Olympic Committee stripped the Canadian of his medal - and of his dreams. They awarded the gold to American Carl Lewis. Johnson's world was falling apart as the IOC banned him from international competition for two years. Sports Minister Jean Charest denied him funding as an "A-carded athlete" and the opportunity to race in national meets for life. He deemed the Jamaican -'born athlete a "national embarassment". Some Canadians shared this view, calling him a "Jamaican immigrant," rather than a national hero in the sports realm. However, many others remain faithful fans refusing to crucify their idol. His family continues to pledge their support during the steroid scandal. This star sprinter spoke on the matter for an interview published in the Toronto Sun Saturday. Johnson restated his innocence at a news conference in Toronto. He denies knowingly taking steroids though he offers no evidence to refute the results of the urine sample obtained after the 100 m finals. This runner claims he is not interested in propositions to play pro football and plans to continue racing and training. The federal government is presently undertaking an inquiry into the Johnson affair to determine whether sabotage was a factor. Likewise, the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario will be reviewing the sportsman's personal physician, Dr. George Mario (Jamie) Astaphan. Gary Lubin, coach at Johnson's Mazda Club told the CBC that Astaphan al1ude d to administering steroids to his patient before the World Championships in Rome. Astaphan later reported that he gave him only cortico-steroids to treat injuries. This drug is used to reduce swelling and is permissible according to the IOC. The rest of the Johnson entourage, including his coach, Thunder Bay native, Charlie Francis, will be subjected to investigation. Meanwhile, Johnson -and his family await the verdict a gloomy or bright future for this world-class sprinter. r SCORE BOARD VOLLEYBALL Sept.27 Individuals vs Linden Loopers U.P.W. vs Slim Chance Hoodornaments vs God Squad The Untouchables vs What do you call them 1- 0 30-28 49. 26 46-32 Sept.22 38-31 G-Spots vs Individuals Terrifying Teachers vs Chronics Canadian Lights vs The Dirty Rotters The Smashers vs The Violent Fems 48-41 38-35 39-27 STANDINGS VOLLEYBALL TUESDAY EVENINGS Hoodornaments Individuals U.P.W.

An adult learner may be defined as any student (part of full time) who feels as though they are somewhat set apart from the so called "mainstream" of students. Typical examples range from students (young and old) who have been out of school for several years and are attending full time, to part time students who have taken courses before, but never actually felt themselves to be a part of Lakehead. Student Services is looking toward assisting this unique group of students in establishing a social support group/network, whereby group activities, coffeehouses, and other suggested events may be organized on a regular basis. To become a part of these groups, contact Irmo Marini 343-8739 at the Counselling and Career Centre, and watch for bulletins regarding meetings • . .
